Trying many different browsers. This one is the worst so far. Its very fast, but it has pop up adds every time you enter and exit. I don't mind the banner adds, but its too easy to accidentally press them. User interface is clumsy and drab. Needs much work.

Have you heard that October 4, 2013 is National Visit a Park Day? This is something that NRPA and the Young Professionals Network (YPN) have celebrated over the last couple of years to help promote the wonders of our natural and treasured resources out there – local parks. The Young Professionals have put together some great ideas on how to celebrate Visit a Park Day and want to encourage park and recreation agencies, community leaders, civic groups, schools and other organizations to come together and participate!
Congress will return on September 9 and must take action on both the FY 2014 spending bills (appropriations) and an increase to our nation's debt limit to avoid yet another government shutdown. Differences in the House and the Senate may prove challenging to consensus on these two issues. Both of these measures have implications for local parks and recreation and Stacey Pine, NRPA's VP of Government Affairs summarizes what to expect out of Congress this fall and why it is so critically important for park and recreation advocates to raise their voices now.
Recently, advocacy issues important to public parks and recreation have been in action on Capitol Hill – in the House, the reintroduction of the Community Parks Revitalization Act; introduction of legislation to designate a minimum of 40 percent of total annual Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) appropriations for the State Assistance Program; proposed tax reform which threatens Municipal Bond tax exemption. With the right information we all can do our parts to shape how these issues play out for our field and communities – both on the national and local level. Mark A. Young, one of NRPA's PRORAGIS Ambassadors, shares how having the right information, especially powerful data, can give strength to our public park and recreation advocacy messages.
The opinions of NRPA blog contributors don't necessarily reflect the editorial position of National Recreation and Park Association as a whole.

Opposition not convinced on the change in alignment thrice
Multi media presentation by Government on ORR comes a cropper TDP, CPI (M), TRS and BJP MLAs stick to their stand on changes in alignmentThree private clubs, realtors benefit due to change, say parties
HYDERABAD: As promised in the Assembly, the Government made an elaborate multi media presentation on the controversial Outer Ring Road around Hyderabad on Friday but not good enough to convince the Opposition on the change in alignment thrice for the Shamirpet junction.
The Telugu Desam, CPI (M), TRS and BJP MLAs stuck to their stand that the alignment was changed from the one presented to the court to benefit three private clubs and realtors in the vicinity. From a straight road it became a curved additional detour after being changed for the third time, they alleged, disagreeing with ORR project director Piyush Kumar's contention.
Government Chief Whip Kiran Kumar Reddy and Mr. Kumar explained that the extent of land to be acquired had increased after the concept of junctions was built into the project in 2004. The alignment had to be changed to rectify a mistake in the revenue map and to save a water body and mosque. The three clubs remained unaffected all through these changes. Three Ministers, P. Sabita Indra Reddy, N. Raghuveera Reddy and J. Geeta Reddy, were present.
Like in the Assembly, the event turned out to be long and tedious and at times political. TDP legislator P. Keshav said the Government was coming up with convenient reasons ranging from the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board's objections, hillocks, valleys to invoking religious sentiments to justify what were essentially "politically motivated junctions and changes in alignment."
`MLAs benefited'
The alignment at Kollur was changed for the benefit of two ruling party MLAs, he alleged and not for saving a Lambada habitation.
When TRS MLA E. Rajender alleged that 64 acres of land was bought and registered near Shamirpet after the land acquisition notification was issued, Mr. Kumar said he would take appropriate action. CPI (M) floor leader Nomula Narasimhaiah said the changes were essentially to benefit influential people leaving in the lurch those with small land holdings.
BJP leader G. Kishen Reddy said if the ORR was merged with Rajiv Rahadari near Shamirpet, the cost would have come down drastically.
On the Shamshabad junction, Mr. Kumar said that no other point was suitable. All those losing houses here would be given 250 yards each. The alignment at Pedda Amberpet had to be changed as it was passing through an 80-metre hillock, reserve forest and a valley.

Aqueous suspensions containing 4.45 × 10−5 − 1.25 × 10−3 M ZnO particles exhibit a strong antibacterial activity against E. coli under the dark conditions. The dominant mechanisms of such antibacterial behaviour are found to be either or both of chemical interactions between hydrogen peroxide and membrane proteins, and chemical interactions between other unknown chemical species generated due to the presence of ZnO particles with the lipid bilayer. The effect of direct physical interactions between nanoparticles and biological cells are found to play a relatively small role under the conditions of this study.
This study was carried out in the University of Leeds as part of L. Zhang's PhD research.

2 Samuel 23:1–7, Daniel 7:9–10, 13–14; Revelation 1:4b–8; John 18:33–37
It is the Feast of Christ the King, the final Sunday of the church's liturgical year. All of today's passages reflect on kingships—those of David, God and Jesus. Although Christians in America are far removed from any direct experience of a king, these passages can teach us about our own political life.
Psalm 22:1–15
There is no denying that in today's world a culture of loneliness and isolation plagues individuals of every age, race and socioeconomic status. Although the church provides a sacred community that may help combat this loneliness, even the most devout believers have, at one time or another, questioned how or even if God is present in their suffering.
Our church's Deacon Care Manual includes a brief section titled "What Not to Say to Someone Who Is Grieving." It lists some grief responses that we've probably all used at some point:
"It's all part of God's plan."
"God will never give you more than you can handle."
"I know exactly how you feel."
Created by David Wolstencroft
Why did I spend three and a half days of my life watching all 87 episodes of a soapy spy serial? For Jesus, of course. Also because it's a provocative and relevant series.
If anything remains sacred in our culture, it's the family. Yet Jesus challenged the family's ultimacy.

Additional Location Information
Lezzeno, with its many villages, located on the shores of the Lake of Como and on the slopes of the mountains, is the first country that you meet going down from Bellagio to Como. From a tombstone of I-II century AD, walled in the bell tower of the church, we know that the area was already inhabited in Roman times. Of particular interest are the Church of SS. Quirico and Giuditta (sixteenth century), the Oratory of Our Lady of the Strain (fifteenth century).
In Lezzeno you can practise some sports like ski on the water, rowing and you can rent boat and take the ferry to visit all the lake of Como. Casa Anto is in a good position to visit all the beautiful places of the lake! To visit, by boat, the Grosgalli stones, suggestive cliffs on the lake. Lezzeno is also an important artisan center for the production of wire and wire mesh, and home to shipyards.
In Bellagio (10 minutes far from Casa Anto by car) there are a lot of shops, restaurant, pizzerie, an exclusive disco and beautiful villas to visit.

Haze Collects over Bangladesh
May 14, 2013
Haze concentrated over Bangladesh on January 20, 2009. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, pale gray haze forms an inverted triangle just south of the Himalaya. The haze stretches southward toward the Bay of Bengal along Bangladesh's eastern border. East of the haze, isolated red dots indicate agricultural fires or wildfires, but these probably contribute little to the haze. The haze more likely results from urban and industrial pollution in the region. Credit: NASA image courtesy MODIS Rapid Response, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Caption by Michon Scott.

Smithfield brands include Farmland, Eckrich, Gwaltney and Smithfield, among many others. A member of the inaugural class of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Petty is one of the most successful and respected drivers in the sport's history, with a record 200 career wins and seven Cup Championships.

Our countdown of the top metro areas ranked by the number of area Inc. 5000 companies begins in Texas. Though Houston has long been a hub of the energy industry, the area's top-ranking business, TechRadium (No. 38), is a government contractor that offers emergency alert and mass communication services.
The Philadelphia area puts Pennsylvania on the map for the first time in years. Though it's typically thought of as a manufacturing center, this year, the document management software company NextDocs, leads the region in growth at No. 52.
San Francisco surprises two years in a row. Despite being a renowned center for tech innovation, the Bay Area's top-ranking company this year is ad agency WDFA Marketing (No. 5). Last year's wild card was online equipment company Perfect Fitness.
The Dallas area makes a strong showing in the energy industry this year. It's home to our No. 1 company, Ambit Energy, which sells energy services throughout Texas, New York, and Illinois. The Dallas metro area this year pulled ahead of Houston after tying for ninth place last year.
Atlanta's reputation for being a hub for business services is underscored by companies such as Vendormate (No. 25), a company that helps corporate clients manage vendor relationships.
With so many esteemed colleges and universities in the area, Boston has made a name for itself as a center for innovative research and venture capital. This year, Carbonite, an online data backup service, is the area's top company at No. 9, followed by Gazelle (No. 24), a green business that allows users to sell or recycle their gadgets online.
Chicago's many high-value service businesses, including finance, medicine and logistics, are still going strong. Lake Forest's Coyote Logistics tops the area's list at No. 6.
The fastest-growing company this year based in the Los Angeles area is Lead Research Group, a Huntington Beach marketing firm that ranks No. 23.
The nation's capital is still fairing well, thanks to the area's strength in government contracting. For example, the region's top-ranking company is NetWitness (No. 21), a security software and hardware company based in Herndon, Virginia, that includes government agencies among its clients.
New York City pulls out a first-place finish this year thanks to the growth of a slew of high-ranking media and advertising companies. Digital Advertising in the New Jersey suburb of Metuchen led the way for the region, ranked at No. 14.

From the Publisher"Everyone who was fortunate enough to know Terry holds him in the highest regard, not only for his views and actions in the political arena, but also for his determination to uphold and strengthen the goodness of human kind. He was a man of tremendous honor, courage and strength. This tribute to Terry's integrity, innovation, and moral upstanding exemplifies the impact that he had, and will forever continue to have, on our society."—The Honorable James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor of North Carolina
"Terry Sanford could be aptly described as North Carolina's Renaissance governor. The links between our families span three generations and were marked by a shared vision for a better North Carolina. As his first biographers show, Terry's contributions to the state were substantial and vital and his legacy is enduring."—The Honorable Robert W. Scott, Governor of North Carolina (1969–1973)
"Terry Sanford was a creative and visionary leader who knew how to hammer dreams into results. Covington and Ellis brilliantly explain this remarkable man's ambition in Terry Sanford: Politics, Progress, and Outrageous Ambition.ˆ"—Charlie Rose
"Terry Sanford was the visionary, compassionate leader of our generation. He defined public service as the high calling of life and sought with all his might and succeeded in elevating the human spirit and sense of hope of thousands of disadvantaged fellow citizens. He will be remembered as our exemplary apostle of education and the constructive builder of a vibrant, progressive North Carolina. He gave his very best. He made a difference."—William Friday, President Emeritus of the University of North Carolina
"This eagerly awaited biography is a tribute to Terry Sanford's life of great purpose and shows the unique and courageous ways in which he dreamed fantastic dreams for North Carolina and made them come true."—Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans
"What truly distinguished Terry Sanford . . . was not just the number of posts he held, rather it was the unquenchable spirit that he brought to every one of them. In his soul he believed that people could shape their own futures, that men and women weren't just flotsam and jetsam floating on the tides of history but rather could choose their own destiny."—David Gergen, from the foreword

OMS students creating disturbances
The Oxford-Lafayette Public Library has recently seen its fair share of middle schoolers who walk down to the facility after school and cause disturbances with readers and staff. A police report was filed yesterday morning as the librarian believes some students started a fire on the steps of the library. (October 10, 2014, Page 1)
Charles J. Shields discusses Vonnegut
OXFORD TOWN – Author Charles J. Shields is making waves with fans of Kurt Vonnegut with his new biography, "And So it Goes: Kurt Vonnegut, A Life." The book is the first and only complete life-story of Kurt Vonnegut, one of the most influential, controversial, and popular novelists of the 20th century. Shields will be at the Lafayette and Oxford Public Library on Friday at noon to discuss the work.

This is sick.. The only Camry I'd ever buy
And Cali-Lifer was going around talking about his 400 HP Fusion...Smh
this car is cool.
The Range Rover Evoque in ultra-violet is what I would like to purchase right now. It's my dream vehicle!
The Evoque has a great platform for mods. Id like to see a 3in turboback exhaust,ecu reflash,intake and possibly different intercooler piping to really wake that 2.0 up. And the orange Range Rover looks like something id drive.
Orange is better than purple. But that's like saying a 150° burner burns less than a 200° burner - they still hurt!
the purple truck is hot
Love the purple Evoque. Not so fond of the lower grille on the GTS-X, though.
Looks really good, but I still wouldnt buy one. Id rather have an Icon Defender for the price.
I really the purple paint and the rims on the Evoque. Thumbs up!!
@tt123 But in the elemental spectrum of heat; purple is hotter than orange, scientifically. Burn!

Singapore residents scarred after botched plastic surgery in South Korea
S'pore residents end up needing corrective surgery or scarred for life after ops in Korea
Published on May 11, 2014 8:23 AM
When Denise paid $10,000 to a clinic in South Korea last September, she was hoping to say goodbye to drooping eyebags and come back to Singapore with more well-defined double eyelids.
"They all said Korea is very good for plastic surgery," she told The Sunday Times. "I wanted to look younger, to look more beautiful."
What she got instead were creases in her eyelids which made her eyes look asymmetrical. She received another surprise - the Korean doctor removed fat from her abdomen and transferred it to her forehead, without her permission.
She only found out after she felt pain around her abdomen when she woke up after surgery. Fat grafting is usually done to add fullness to sunken areas and give a more youthful appearance. But not in Denise's case.

Painful truth
"Sometimes, it's hard for us to solve the problem if we don't know what the doctor on the other side has done... And not everything can be fixed... (The women) come to us and we have to tell them the damage is permanent."
DR LESLIE KUEK, who has also noted more women seeking corrective surgery after their return from South Korea

New Gayborhood sports bar Boxers PHL has been open for a couple weeks, but owners are ready to make it official with a special grand-opening hoopla on Saturday.
New Gayborhood sports bar Boxers PHL has been open for a couple weeks, but owners are ready to make it official with a special grand-opening hoopla on Saturday.
The day has finally come, Boxers, the New York gay bar franchise with locations in Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen, will open its doors this afternoon in the Gayborhood.
Director of Marketing George Maestre tells me that the bar will open at 1330 Walnut Street at 4 p.m. today, but it's only a soft opening. "We are just opening the doors, and in a couple weeks we will have a grand-opening weekend."
More from a press release sent out this afternoon:
Apple CEO Tim Cook came out publicly in an essay published this morning in Businessweek. In the essay he writes:
For years, I've been open with many people about my sexual orientation. Plenty of colleagues at Apple know I'm gay, and it doesn't seem to make a difference in the way they treat me. Of course, I've had the good fortune to work at a company that loves creativity and innovation and knows it can only flourish when you embrace people's differences. Not everyone is so lucky.
While I have never denied my sexuality, I haven't publicly acknowledged it either, until now. So let me be clear: I'm proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.
The announcement came a few days after Cook publicly chastised him hometown state of Alabama for moving too slow on marriage equality.
To read his entire essay, go here.
Twenty-eight-year-old Chad Marshall Wilcox has been arrested and charged with robbery and first-degree murder of a Norristown man he met on Craigslist for sex.
Instinct reports that "Wilcox allegedly killed his victim, Manuel Hakimian, 36, on September 21 at Hakimian's home in Norristown, Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia suburb. Authorities believe Wilcox slit the victim's throat. … After allegedly killing Hakimian, Wilcox used Hakimian's bank and credit cards in at least five states. Wilcox also stole his car, which was spotted on September 24 by police in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Wilcox crashed the car and escaped on foot; police found a folding knife with blood on it along with receipts matching some of the purchases made with the stolen cards. Wilcox was ultimately arrested in Johnston County, North Carolina a few days later."
The Associated Press has more:
Every week, Philly gay gents share their local picks for Man Crush Monday. This week: the boy next door to beat all boys next door, Trevor Powell. When Trevor isn't studying at Temple, you can catch him slinging cocktails at Knock, or carrying a "Vote for Tom Wolf" sign around town as the local field director for Liberty PA.
Last Five Man Crush Mondays:
Every week I take a trip down memory lane in William Way Community Center's John J. Wilcox Jr. Archives, a veritable treasure trove of relics from gay Philadelphia's past. This week, archivist—and author of The Gayborhood Guru—Bob Skiba shares photos of Tommi Avicolli Mecca taken in the 1970s and 1980s. Skiba tells me that "Tommi was an early activist here, one of the founders of the Gay Community Center (which later became William Way) and the Archives, and a trans activist."
Every week, Philly gay gents share their local picks for Man Crush Monday. This week: Adam J. Williams (aka Adam JW), a multilingual Chinese food-enthusiast who spends his day working in public health outreach for a local nonprofit.
Last Five Man Crush Mondays:
Every week, Philly gay gents share their local picks for Man Crush Monday. This week: legendary Gayborhood DJ—and one of G Philly's monthly columnists—Carl Michaels.
Last Five Man Crush Mondays:
It is one of those moments that's leaving us shaking our heads: ESPN's coverage of Michael Sam, the first openly gay NFL player, has reverted to an utterly important topic: how he is taking his showers while in training camp. Read more »
This week we're focusing on the those who bring a little something extra to our Instagram feeds—that cock of the hip, a hand on the waist, maybe even a booty tooch—you know the ones. It's the Gayborhood's fiercest posers.

Re: nVidia driver + hibernate = no go?
It's been a while now, so update on the drivers and stability (please note that I'm now using ArchLinux only (X - 1.4.2)):
177.8x series: suspend works, hibernate beeps and waits couple of mins but works, X does stuck for a 30 secs when restarted
180.06: suspend completely broken (blank screen, nothing works - no ctrl+alt+bkspc, no ctrl+alt+del, no wireless or bluetooth lights), hibernate beeps and waits couple of mins but works, X does stuck for 30 secs when restarted
177 series + IPP=2 has nasty bug - desktop environment slows down a lot after some period of usage. Period is not measurable, it just happens. With IPP=0 everything is fine during all the week (didn't test for longer), so it seems IPP has a bug.
I can't test this with 180.06 as suspend is broken and I can't use the driver generally.

There are only one shared kitchen and one washroom for entire floor. Facilities in kitchen are enough but kitchen always has a wired smell though. We booked double room and one of the bed is too close to door and I always woke up whenever my roommate opened the door. Be aware to the room facing East, it is so bright even you close the curtain.

PhD in management
PhD in management is the highest academic degree awarded in the study of management science.[1][2] The degree was designed for those seeking academic research and teaching careers as faculty or professors in the study of management at business schools worldwide.[3]
The Ph.D. in Management Degree[edit]
Business doctoral programs[edit]
A PhD degree is a doctor of philosophy which can be obtained in many areas of study, while a PhD in management is specific to the study of research questions with potential relevance to the business world. Areas of specialization for the PhD in business often include, but are not limited to:
- Accounting
- Decision sciences (decision theory and decision analysis)
- Economics
- Entrepreneurship
- Ethics and legal studies
- Finance
- Health care management
- Leadership
- Marketing
- Organizational behavior
- Operations management / Operations research
- Management information systems / Information technology management
- Statistics
- Strategy
A PhD in management or business is often required for those interested in pursuing an academic career as a professor at a business school.[4][5] Business schools often require faculty to hold a Ph.D. and to engage in research.[6] Business school rankings are often heavily influenced by the proportion of faculty with Ph.D. degrees or doctorates.[7] Research is fundamental to the integrity of a graduate educational institution. Through research, professors gain the expertise required to teach advanced courses and to ensure that they remain current in his or her chosen field.
Brief history[edit]
In the 1950s and 1960s, leading business schools made a transition from vocational training to scientific research, rooted in social sciences, such as economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, systems engineering, and mathematics. Since then, Ph.D. programs in business prepare candidates to conduct scholarly research based on rigorous methods and applied to business. For example, such research might aim to develop new theory and empirical knowledge about business and management problems by combining methods from economics, psychology and mathematical decision theory. By combining methods from multiple social sciences, business research has developed its own subfields of research, published in business application oriented journals as well as in social sciences journals.[8]
Business research[edit]
Research with regard to the study of business encompasses a wide range of activities. There are many research methodologies or "tools" one must learn before being able to conduct research. A PhD program in business will teach one these various methods.[9][10][11]
Research methodologies[edit]
Common research methodologies used in studying business are: Modeling, Econometrics, Experiments, descriptive and Field Studies.
Program structure[edit]
Typically, the PhD in management takes 4–5 years to complete.[12] The structure is usually 2 years of intensive coursework (core courses and seminars) followed by a comprehensive examination.[13] The dissertation phase is typically 2–3 years.[13]
Funding and scholarships[edit]
Most PhD programs will offer accepted candidates a tuition waiver along with a stipend to cover living expenses.[14][15][16][17]
Becoming a professor of business means investing years of study before obtaining the desired degree, but academia offers many benefits, including: attractive salaries, the combination of varied activities in one career, intellectual stimulation as well as professional autonomy.[18] However, following through with a PhD degree can be challenging not only because of the academic rigour but also due to the pressure and stress that comes from conducting research and defending a dissertation. Moreover, once a person obtains a PhD, there is no guarantee that even with an offer from a business school, that the PhD student will go on to publish his or her research in a top journal, will be able to teach effectively, or will receive a tenured faculty position.
Still, for those who have the motivation, drive and stamina to be successful in this field, there are many benefits. The life of a business professor is markedly different from a corporate career. An academic has more time to explore his or her own interests, pursues research, and rarely has a 'nine to five' type of career. Being a professor is much like being an entrepreneur (bad link – ).[19] Success is based on the individual, and faculty are often their own bosses. Beyond being intellectually bright and able to conduct research, professors in business also need to be able to perform in the classroom. Teaching is a fundamental component of being a professor, though most faculty may only teach around 100 hours per year, the classroom setting can be challenging and often involve debate.[20]
Not everyone can be a professor, but for those that have the skills required, it provides an excellent standard of living, with salaries comparable to the corporate world.[19] Consulting, book publishing and speaking engagements can also further add to overall compensation.[19] Academic institutions are often less vulnerable than corporations to forces like global economic downturns. Academia offers much in the way of financial stability.[19]
PhD versus DBA[edit]
Prospective students interested in a career in industry (non-academic) should consider a DBA instead of a PhD in management, as PhD graduates are trained with an emphasis on research that helps to understand organizations, more than on actually leading organizations.[21]

Recently, a group of office-bearers of a residents' welfare association near Tiruppalai approached their MLA and Councillors for dumper bins and drinking water tanks for their area which had around 500 houses, including independent villas and apartments, situated on nine streets.
To their surprise, the office-bearers received a swift response from their councillor who informed them that the Corporation authorities had sanctioned four dumper bins and three water tanks (1,000 litre capacity) for their area. On the promised date, the bins and tanks arrived.
But the trouble started from that point. When one of the office-bearers wanted the dumper bins to be placed at select points, the residents, one after the other, raised objections.
As the news spread, no resident wanted the bins near his or her house.
The issue could not be resolved even after two days and the councillor offered to intervene. But some of the residents, who were opposed to the political party to which the councillor belonged, were against his intervention.
Some of the office-bearers even threatened to quit their honorary posts.
"If the conservancy workers fail to turn up to remove the dumper bins even on a single day, living in my home will be hell. My tenant on the first floor has already threatened to vacate," an irate resident told The Hindu.
R. Srinivasan, a retired professor living adjacent to the house, said, "I am a diabetic. My doctor has advised me to walk twice a day. At my age, I can't go to a faraway park or ground, so I walk only inside the colony. The streets are relatively clean and free from garbage. Presently, a man collects garbage and other waste from every home in a tricycle. Though he is not regular, this arrangement is fine for me. We don't need big bins," he said.
Many women expressed their reservation over the installation of drinking water tanks as well.
The residents said it would lead to water stagnation in front of their houses, resulting in mosquito breeding and the spread of water-borne diseases.
Though the Oomachikulam police say the residents orally complained against the councillor for not removing the dumper bins, an office-bearer, Balasubramanian, said the issue had been finally resolved. How? "We asked the councillor to take back the dumper bins and drinking water tanks," he said.
At a time when slogans such as "Keep your city clean; keep your city green" are seen everywhere, a closer look at a typical residential colony presents a different picture.

May 29, 2015
The clock is ticking for folks who still need to register to vote in the November 6th election.
Kentucky's voter registration deadline is Tuesday.
Officials we spoke with tell us a large amount of people have already registered.
Perry County Clerk Haven King says his office has received a record number of calls from voters regarding registration.
Officials say that in this election, many voters who were registered as democrats have switched to be registered as republicans.
They say the reason for this is the president's stance on important issues here in Eastern Kentucky like the coal industry.
Many folks blame the president's so called war on coal for recent layoffs.
But many agree the most important thing is not who you vote for--- it's that you get out and do it.
Tuesday is also the deadline to make a name or address change or to switch party affiliation.
County Clerks' Offices will accept voter registration cards until the close of business Tuesday.

SSRI Birth Defect Lawsuit Allegations Update: Scottish Health Official Warns of Danger of Some Antidepressants During Pregnancies
National health advisor says risk not taking because of higher rate of birth defects. Resource4thePeople's national network of attorneys continues to offer free consultations to provide possible legal options to families of children allegedly suffering birth defects after use of antidepressants during pregnancies.
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 31, 2013
Resource4thePeople announced today its latest update about the dangers of a class of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and lawsuits that have been filed alleging that the medications put women at risk of having babies with birth defects.
The latest news is a warning issued by Professor Stephen Pilling, adviser to Scotland's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), who warned that anti-depressants for mild to moderate depression is a risk not worth taking for pregnant woman.
Pilling's comments were outlined in a July 3, 2013 article* in Scotland's leading newspaper, the Daily Record and Sunday Mail, about birth defect risks involved with women taking SSRIs during the early part of their pregnancies.
The article said "One in seven Scots takes anti-depressants but now women are being warned against using them in early pregnancy amid claims that they increase the risk of a child being born with a heart defect."
Resource4thePeople notes that this heart defect is among several birth defect issues linked to SSRIs that were raised by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in a 2006 Public Health Advisory** that the agency later updated in 2011 that raise serious concerns about the effects on children born to mothers who used these medications during their pregnancies.
"This is the latest red flag raised about the allegations that taking SSRIs during pregnancy may cause mothers to give birth to children suffering birth defects that were initially raised by the FDA years ago," said Resource4thePeople.
"These concerns have caused our national team of lawyers to continue accepting claims from consumers who are alleging that their children may have suffered birth defects as a result of the use of these popular antidepressants."
Resource4thePeople is also informing consumers that free consultations over legal options to seek compensation will continue to be offered over allegations that SSRIs caused a wide variety of birth defects.
Among the claims being reviewed by Resource4thePeople attorneys are that women who used SSRIs to treat depression while pregnant were allegedly put at increased risk of giving birth to an infant suffering from alleged birth defects such as cleft palate, club foot, spina bifida and heart and abdominal defects.
Also being reviewed are claims involving the life-threatening lung condition known as persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).
SSRI anti-depressants are sold under various brand and generic drug names such as Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Lexapro, Celexa and Depakote and are described by The National Institute of Mental Health as the most popular antidepressants prescribed in the United States.***
The FDA warned in its 2011 update**** that it is unsure of whether the use of SSRIs during a pregnancy puts a mother at greater risk of giving birth to a child suffering PPHN..
One of the medications — Zoloft — is the subject of numerous lawsuits claiming that children born to mothers who took the SSRI during pregnancies suffered alleged birth defects that they have been consolidated before a single federal court judge.*****
The multidistrict litigation is being coordinated under the jurisdiction of U.S. District Court Judge Cynthia M. Rufe in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The multidistrict litigation – which involves consolidation of hundreds of cases from across the country, according to the court file – was designated because the cases involve similar allegations against common defendants.
The judge has scheduled bellwether trials in the litigation to begin in October of 2014, according to the court file.
Resource4thePeople also notes that that the court file in the litigation shows that there are now over 300 cases consolidated by the federal court system in the litigation.
Resource4thePeople also is announcing that as this litigation moves forward its nationwide team of attorneys will continue to review claims from consumers who are alleging their children may have suffered birth defects caused by the mother's use of Zoloft or other SSRIs.
"A common question we have been receiving from consumers involves the question of how their legal rights may be affected by the progress of this litigation," said Resource4thePeople.
"Every case is different but we are continuing to offer free consultations to consumers to help provide them the information they need to preserve all of their legal options over allegations involving the use of SSRIs."
These consultations can provide legal options about whether such families may be eligible to seek compensation for medical costs, pain and suffering and other expenses that may stem from these circumstances.
Resource4thePeople also is bringing to the attention of SSRI users new medical research data that raises concerns about whether the anti-depressants may also put patients at increased risk of suffering heart arrhythmia.
These concerns are detailed in published reports of a medical research study in the Jan. 29, 2013 British Medical Journal.******
According to the study, the SSRIs citalopram (brand name Celexa) and escitalopram (brand name Lexapro) "trigger a disturbance in QT interval (the duration of electrical activity of the heart muscle) heart rhythms."
The medical research report's lead study author Dr. Roy Perlis and his colleagues "confirmed through analysis a slight but significant QT prolongation with higher doses of citalopram," saying that "although some QT variation is normal, a longer interval can upset timing of the heartbeat and lead to dizziness, fainting, and depending on severity, sudden death."
The researchers also reported that citalopram, escitalopram, and amitriptyline were associated with prolongation of corrected QT interval, which is a marker of increased ventricular arrhythmia risk.

Reclaimed construction material
Installed at Brooklyn Art Lot in two-person exhibition with Abe McNally.
The London-based art critic Charles Darwent had this to say about the sculpture:
It would be easy to walk past Fritz Horstman's Gowanus Canal, it being made of discarded construction materials and locked behind a fence on a nondescript corner in Brooklyn. Even when you realise that it is sculpture, things do not necessarily get easier. Gowanus has an air of purpose: its forms are abstract, but the work itself clearly isn't. Nor do its materials feel poetically trashy in the way that, say, a Rauschenberg's might. The outer face of the sculpture's panels bear the legend "Plum Creek", this being the trade name of their constituent plywood. I suspect this suggestion of rural innocence made them attractive to Horstman, since Gowanus is actually a scaled-down mapping of the Gowanus Canal; among the most polluted bodies of water in the world, a few hundred metres from where his sculpture stands.
Which is to say that Gowanus is cryptic, and sets out to be. Look down into its namesake canal and you seem to see (or not see) the opacity of history – a story of bald capitalism and environmental rapine, summed up in the murkiness of the Gowanus's waters. Look into Horstman's sculpture and you find the average accretions of a Brooklyn street: a styrofoam cup, dead leaves, a wrapper that reads "Italy's Most Loved." Left to itself, Gowanus is turning into Gowanus, the historical processes making the one mimicking those that made the other.
But does this have a meaning? Gowanus may be a magnet for street rubbish, but it does not attract easy art history. A canal is a stretch of water between banks or, alternatively, banks with a stretch of water between them. For every thing that Horstman's sculpture seems to be, it is equally possibly the opposite of that thing. This, perhaps, is its cleverness and its point. You may suspect a political agenda in Gowanus, or an environmental one; you may see shades of Smithson or of Schwitters. Whether those things are in the work, it is not going to say: it is not about clarity, but the opposite. The inner faces of its panels have been splashed by their previous use on a construction site: hidden away, they look like early abstract expressionist paintings. They may even be beautiful. Or, of course, they may not.
Charles Darwent
24" x 20' x 8'
Installed at The Mount in Lenox, MA for the exhibition SculptureNow.
Yale's Peabody Museum asked me to make an installation for Earth Day 2013 on Beinecke Plaza. My solution was a 100+ foot-long model of the Quinnipiac River, made of plastic water bottles. There was a water truck on site filled with Quinnipiac River water and thousands of empty bottles. I filled bottles all day and placed them in the outline of the river. Visitors participated in the construction of the river, using either their own bottles or those provided.
I chiseled and dremeled specific rings from these sections of trees. The rings I removed represent periods of human history that may or may not have been registered in the tree's growth pattern.
These photographs were taken over the course of one year. An underwater camera was attached to the end of an eight-foot long stick, and then submerged in the same place in the same pond at the same time of day.
They are hung as a frieze, and printed to the appropriate size to fill their space -- usually 8 x 10.5" or 12 x 16". 180 pictures were taken, spanning September 2010 through September 2011.
These drawings were made by tracing each frame of videos shot of leaves falling, or by watching leaves and tracing their movements as they fall. Chris Boone wrote about them here.
Many of these illustrations were made for Short's Brewing Company in Bellaire, MI.

Virgin Atlantic, easyJet, British Airways and Ryanair join forces against APD
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Thursday, 17 November 2011 12:25PM
Virgin Atlantic, easyJet, British Airways and Ryanair have called on the Government to scrap Air Passenger Duty (APD), claiming it has a negative impact on the economy.
The chief executives of the four airlines – easyJet's Carolyn McCall, Ryanair's Michael O'Leary, Virgin Atlantic's Steve Ridgeway, and Willie Walsh of BA – have written an open letter to chancellor George Osborne calling for an independent report on the economic effects of the tax.
The letter says the tax makes a negative impact on the UK economy, outweighing any benefit from the revenue raised.
The letter states that passenger numbers in UK airports have fallen consecutively in the past three years to lower levels than recorded in 2004.
The UK currently has the highest aviation taxes in the world.
Current rates of APD are £12 per passenger for a short-haul flight and between £60 and £85 per person for a long-haul journey.
Passengers in the UK paid a total of £1.9bn in APD in 2009, which rose to £2.1bn in 2010/11 and is forecast to rise to £3.6bn in 2015, according to the airlines.
The airline heads are challenging Osborne to commission an independent report into the effects of APD on the UK economy.
The airlines claim that the situation of UK APD mirrors that of the Netherlands in 2008/9, when a similar tax was imposed.
The tax was designed to raise £300m a year, but was abandoned after 12 months after costing the Dutch economy more than £1bn.
The airline chiefs' letter states: "For hard-working families, APD is a tax too far for the privilege of taking a well-earned holiday. It is also a tax on tourism and a tax on business.
"Aviation doesn't just drive exports – it is a major exporter in its own right with our airlines earning nearly £11bn of foreign revenues every year. Tourism is one of the UK's most important earners and is worth £115bn to the UK economy.
"We take our responsibility to the environment very seriously and have taken steps to reduce our impact. We support emissions trading (ETS) in principle, but a combination of both APD and ETS when it is introduced is unsustainable."
Walsh attacked former transport minister Phillip Hammond at this year's ABTA travel conference, claiming: "(He) does not look at the impact APD is having on transport – he looks at the impact it is potentially having on the deficit."

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 19, 9:44 PM
Eliminating the vocational/professional divide is not a new idea. John Dewey proposed that all life is a vocation and then we choose specific vocations within that are of interest to us. Thomas Merton, a Trappist Monk, connected vocation and voice. What we do should give our lives voice. If it doesn't we are doing the wrong things, likely doing someone else's work which is labour in Arendtian terms.
Russell R. Roberts, Jr.'s curator insight, May 20, 1:36 AM
Here are some interesting and potentially very useful tools for your classroom. The "intersection of Education & Tech" is happening now. It's time to find out how you as a teacher can employ this high-tech tools in your school.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 19, 9:32 PM
Even adults learning something new need scaffolding. We might get there quicker, but we need a solid foundation.
Sandra Ciccarello's curator insight, May 20, 7:28 PM
Interesting, very useful to help challenge the students who think they can't change.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 19, 9:36 PM
We need to use digital tools in meaningful ways. Technology is about a conversation with and about our tools. Whitehead used the word genius to describe the way teachers care for the place, people, and tools they are in relationship with. Heidegger likened using tools to good and thoughtful craftsmanship.
Jess Johnson's curator insight, May 20, 3:00 AM
Good for the other side of the argument in the electronic educational debate. Informative.
Patricia Thomson's curator insight, May 21, 9:12 AM
Easy to use apps to help with classroom management.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, May 21, 9:09 PM
I read Don Idhe and Martin Heidegger. Both argue that the tools we use do amplify and reduce at the same time. Heidegger, in particular, argued technology is a way of conversing with our tools, including listening to them, that involves being a crafts person. Rather than technology being teaching, it is conversation which includes teaching and much more.
jane fullerton's curator insight, May 24, 10:02 AM
Great ideas for engaging students in broader engagement in social responsibility and personalized learning on the Web.
Alfio Gangemi's curator insight, May 24, 8:05 PM
This article talks about how educators roles have to evolve to meet the growing needs of a high paced digital society as well as Connectivism and how important it is in a modern day classroom to help students develop better understanding of distinct ideas using social capital and capabilities of digital networks.

A little story written by my grandmother in 1913 about speaking on a street corner on New Year's Eve in New York City followed a rant about being abused by hecklers in the Washington DC suffrage parade. Edna tacked on the New Year's Eve story in a column she wrote comparing the experiences of suffragists in New York parades versus that of Washington, DC. Grandmother Edna concluded: "New York men are the best in the United States." When Edna had finished her presentation about Votes for Women, the crowd yelled, "Happy New Year, Suffragette."

Hejduk happy to be training close to home
CARSON -- Sometimes it's difficult to figure out what has Frankie Hejduk more excited about being invited to United States men's soccer team training camp at the Home Depot Center.
Is it that he's being considered for his third consecutive World Cup team? Or is Hejduk just happy to be spending time in Southern California, having an opportunity to soak up the sun and catch some waves?
"That's totally me," said Hejduk, who has spent the past three seasons with Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew. "If we're out of practice by 12, I'm out in the water by 1 and back eating some tacos by about 7, and, you know, maybe sipping on a Pacifico at 8. Anytime I can get out in the water, that's what I'm looking to do."
If that comes off sounding like Hejduk isn't stressed about fighting for a spot on this World Cup roster, it should.
That's just how the Cardiff resident lives his life -- free of worries, or as Hejduk puts it, the "SoCal lifestyle." But don't mistake his easygoing attitude for apathy. He has been working hard to maintain his reputation as a hard worker and a fierce competitor, one who could help assure he cracks the 23-man roster that will represent the U.S. in the World Cup this summer in Germany.
"I'm known as one of the fitter guys on the team, and I take that very seriously," Hejduk said. "I attribute a lot of that to my surfing, which stems from living in San Diego and being around the beach my whole life."
Hejduk has been successful as a surfer, too. He qualified for the 1989 U. S. Amateur Surfing Team and helped the San Dieguito High surf team win a national title.
Hejduk has had much more success in soccer. He isn't a lock to make the World Cup team because Bruce Arena has a growing number of options at fullback. Hejduk's the only U.S. player to have competed in both the 1998 and 2002 World Cups and the 2000 and 2004 Olympics, so his experience in big-time international competition is invaluable. That would benefit this World Cup team, which likely will have many players in their early 20s.
"It's good to have an experienced guy here," Arena said. "If you look around, this is a fairly young group of players we got here. Anytime you've got guys with the kind of experience Frankie has is helpful."
It's good for training camp, but will Arena feel it is needed on the final World Cup roster? Staying true to who he is, Hejduk isn't dwelling on not being a shoe-in to make the squad.
"The only thing you can do is make it as hard for the coach as possible to not pick you for the team," Hejduk said. "That's my job as a professional. I don't look at it as I'm competing against anybody else. I see it as I'm competing against myself and pushing myself as hard as I can. I go out there everyday and give it my all."
