Later on, I went to equip a CRM200 to the same character... guess what? No bleeden cryo grenades! Before anyone insults myintelligence and suggests a ridiculous comment like "have you checked your other crew" or "Have you checked the bank" - yes I have checked and yes I have checked, thanks.
They've gone within 24 hours and I havent done that mission for nothing. I've done that mission for the reward (strangely enough). I have a feeling that (like every issue ive ever reported within STO forums) I get absolutely nothing. Sorry but I'd like to be proven wrong. Not one of my questions have ever been responded to and I'm getting fed up. I'm only Human in real lfe believe it or not
Not sure if i understand your problem , but if you have any grenades left over you wont be able to claim the prize of them yet , but the reward should still be showing in your in progress section, that is where mine are till i use the ones i got, soon as i use them then i will claim the rewards for the mission and restock them then so in a way you could have access to as many as 40 of them

The Languedoc-Roussillon region
The house is situated in an area surrounded by the hills of the Corbiere that are part of the foothills to the Pyrenees. There are beautiful vineyards to walk in and steep rugged paths take you through the vineyards up into the hills. The terrain is rugged and dry. This is Cathar country, so the area is dotted with many famous Cathar castles, e.g. Queribus, Peyreperteuse, and Aguilar, to mention just a few.
It is hot and dry in the summer, but there are lots of places in local rivers specially designated to swim and cool off. If outdoor activities are your thing there is horse-riding quite close by where you can go for a day's trek into the hills should you fancy it. Bring your bike and go for fabulous rides on quiet country roads, but look out, they can be steep in places. On your trips check the local villages for an excellent lunch and rest before you set off again.
Visit Lezignan market on the Wednesday for fresh local produce, delicious cheeses and an amazing array of goods to purchase. It is colourful and very spanish in style, taste and colour. Lagrasse is another place to visit, the Abbey, fully functioning is a lovely restful place to visit, the newly refurbished cloister well worth seeing.
Then of course there is the sea, the beautiful mediterrannean - lovely sandy beaches, restaurants on the beach, showers to wash the sand off - delightful.
In the winter it can be cold, and it can be windy, but it is dry and sunny and never very cold for long. The autumn colours of the vineyards are just beautiful, and the walks still amazing. There are excellent ski slopes are about an hour and a half drive away.
The area is mostly famous for the Corbiere wines. Mostly red wine being produced, the Fitou wines are also produced here and the dessert wine known as Muscat. And recently some fine rose are being produced. So wine tasting adventures can be a great fun.
As I said before this is Cathar country, they were persecuted by Simon de Montford and basically massacred in the crusades. They sought safety in the castles of this region, namely Queribus, Peyrepeteuse, Puylaurens and others and they are well worth a visit. The plight of these people was made famous in many ways in the Kate Mosse book 'Labyrinthe'.
The village itself is very remote, more a hamlet than anything else. You won't be bothered by traffic noise, perhaps the odd tractor might disturb the peace, or the sound of the car horn as the van bringing the fresh bread to the village every morning lets you know it has arrived, and the croissants are lovely. Make sure you order some each day, for the next day or you could be disappointed.
The Spanish border is only a little over an hour away, and makes a great day out. More wine and great food.
I'm sorry there are no shops or cafes either in the village. The closest mini market is about a half-hour's drive away, and the closest large town, Lezignan, is about 50 minutes drive away. This is remote in the greatest sense of the word, but it is peaceful, and a real escape from the hurly-burly of life. But having said that, just very short drives away there are some great restaurants serving truly delicious meals and some gorgeous wines.

Rayne...beautiful! I liked your tip on the single crochet at the neckline. I will try that. I was thinking of I-cord to finish off the sleeves.
The varigated color almost looks as if it was done on purpose. Unique effect!
I'm still knitting round and round on the body. On April 24th I turn into a pumpkin I guess. My fear is that another KAL will happen and I'll dump this. I think I have 36 UFO's. I think I need a shrink.
I'm Done! Eliminated the Icord and single crocheted with a decorative closure. It does "bubble" a little in the back. If I were to knit it again, I would not increase as much on the back of the sweater. Makes sense as we have no "girls" on our backs.
Rayne, Beautiful knitting and color! Good for you on doing the keyhole - I left it out as I was worried that I would mess it up. Jeanie
Claire, It fits you perfectly! The knitting is excellent and you were clever to do the keyhole with crochet. Am very close to the end and hope to finish tomorrow. Jeanie
It's great seeing everyone's sweaters. It keeps me pushing to finish. I'm lagging a bit. I just got past the ruching. I also modified mine to a cardigan, so I'm not going to decrease the waist, but add a bit more of an a-line flare. Here's my progress.
What yarn are you using?
Here's what I did to make up for "the girls" (aka Big Boobs!): when it got to the point to set up for the sleeves, I moved them a bit to the "back" of the shirt, allowing for additional stitches in the front, as well as a slightly higher neckline in the back than in the front. Then, when it came time for the decreases, I did about 2/3 of the decreases as written, the others I only did on the front, to decrease it back to be equal to the number of stitches in the back.
When my daughter has some time, I'll try to get a picture of me in it. Size is somewhere close to the next-to-largest size. BTW, for those of you on ravelry, I'm NightowlKnitter, and I have a few more knitting notes on my project page.
What yarn are you using?
I'm using Dragonfly fibers Pixie in Titania. It's a super wash merino in a fingering gauge. The picture doesn't do the color justice.
I thought it looks like it might be fingering weight, which I think this pattern should have been designed for because of the ruching. What size needle did you use, and did you have to follow directions for a larger size in order to compensate for the finer yarn? I did not join this KA, but I do like the design a great deal. It's much too young for me (I'm nearly 80), but it would be perfect for one or more of my granddaughters.
I still ended up using size 6 needles, but the gauge ended up ok on the row count but about a quarter increase in the stitch count, so I'm following (loosely) the largest size to get the 42" size with a little ease for layering, I'm about a 40" bust. I replaced the 6 stitch increase for the full round with a ten stitch (gage difference) garter button band on both sides. I put one button at each garter section and I'm only going to have 4 buttons along the ruched section.
Also, I didn't bind off the sleeves, I knit them on separate shorter circular needles that I'll go back to when the body is complete to knit long sleeves.
TerrieR, Yours looks great! I love the subtle color. I finished mine and will try and figure out how to post a photo of the back and the front. This has been a fun KAL!
These "T's" all look so beautiful. Jeanie, yours fits perfectly! I may still be knitting on the 24th, but I am bound to finish by the weekend and will post a picture...should be amusing. Just not sure how this will turn out. Claire, your yarn is great. What yarn is that? A fun KAL. I can't wait to see what Kathleen comes up with next for the vote!
Chris, Thanks and good luck finishing! Jeanie
Thanks to all for all the wonderful photos.. This was my first knit-along and the experience has been great. I am looking forward to the next....

Spotlight Boxing's fourth big "ProSieben Fight Night" will take place September 7 at the Burg-Wächter Castello in Düsseldorf. In the first fight card under the new agreement, the wildly popular world champion "Killer Queen" Susi Kentikian (17-0, 13 KOs) will defend her WBA flyweight title against Shanee Martin (8-3. 4 KOs).
In the co-feature, heavyweight Sebastian Köber (9-0, 9 KOs) faces Edgar Da Silva (25-9, 19 KOs).
Other hot 'new generation' fighters on the card include WIBF super welterweight world champion Karolina Lukasik, super middleweight Dimitri Sartison and middleweight Gennady Golovkin -- all unbeaten, talented, young and hungry.
Lukasik (7-0) faces unbeaten GBU/WBC/WBA titleholder Jisselle "Magic" Salandy (14-0) in a unification clash, Sartison (20-0, 13 KOs) will face off with WBA #6 contender Gusmyl Perdomo (14-1, 8 KOs) for the WBA Latino belt and Golovkin (8-0, 8 KOs) who will be in for his toughest fight as a pro versus Olympian Geard Ajetovic (13-1-1, 6 KOs). Also seeing action will be female flyweight Rebekka Herrmann (9-1) and Spotlight newcomer Magdalena "The Beast" Dahlen at junior bantam. Opponents will be announced.
Three world champions in Düsseldorf: Regina Halmich, Ina Menzer and Julia Sahin
The Box Queen Regina Halmich will defend her WIBF world title, in her 55th pro fight, against US-American Wendy Rodriguez (18-3-3 (3)) who is listed within the top five of the rankings.
Halmich stated: "Wendy Rodriguez is a tough challenge for me. I will have a precise and accurate preparation for this important fight. Too bad that my injury gave me kind of a setback but everything is running on schedule right now. As to my retirement from boxing, I wouldn't like to say good-bye from boxing with a defeat. There won't be any further professional fights for me in Düsseldorf. However, the handkerchiefs should still remain in the bags. Right now it's bad to talk about the last fight or parting. Apart from that, Düsseldorf is a very good memory. One year ago, I defeated the Hungarian Milo clearly in same place. At the end of January, the Düsseldorf public again proved their enthusiasm for boxing when they pushed my stable colleague Julia Sahin to the world championship in a great fight."
Additional "woman power" on the card will be provided by WIBF featherweight champion Ina Menzer, who will defend her belt against the Mexican Jazmin Rivas (16-4-0 (7)). It will be her first appearance in Düsseldorf.
The unbeaten featherweight, who grew up in the nearby Mönchengladbach, is looking forward to her fight near her hometown. The 26 year old Ina Menzer said: Im excited about his and happy to fight in Düsseldorf as it is very close to my hometown and many of my friends can come and see me! It will be a tough challenge. She has a great record, especially her 7KOs make her very dangerous. It will be a tough but interesting fight.
Jr. flyweight champion Julia Sahin (18-0-0 (2)) will defend her WIBF belt at jr. flyweight in Düsseldorf fo the second time. She definately has very god memories on her last appearance there as she claimed the WIBF belt by beating the Russian title holder Anastasia Toktaulova in front of an amazing crowd. After her first successful title defence in Stuttgart two weeks ago against the American Hollie Dunaway, the 33 year old Julia Sahin is looking forward to her next fight. Her opponent will be announced in the next days.
The complete fightcard and additional information about this event will be announced within the next weeks.

Salman Khan" src="http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/salman_arbaz_katrina_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5"> Jodhpur, Aug 27 (IANS) The Rajasthan High Court Monday deferred the hearing of jailed Bollywood actor Salman's Khan's revision petition and bail plea till Wednesday.
Salman has already spent two nights at the central jail in Jodhpur. The celebrity prisoner, who was sentenced to five years in prison for hunting an endangered deer nine years ago in a village near here, surrendered himself to Rajasthan Police Saturday following an arrest warrant.
Salman has been convicted of poaching a chinkara deer at the Ghoda farm near Jodhpur on the night of Sep 28, 1998, while filming Sooraj Barjatya's blockbuster 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'.

My guess is it could be possible but may need a bit more "engineering" to make it work as the chamber holding the lamp is very much smaller than the Durst 138 housing.
Anyway there are rapid developments happening in LED lighting so you may be able to find a smaller unit with adequate lumens to replace your current globe. What wattage is the recommended globe for this unit? 75w, 150W, 250W?
See this, for example:
I believe it is 100W. I'll have to look at the owners manual....
Thanks for the link, that may work as well!

Strength, stamina, grit and a desire to raise funds for a worthy cause have a number of area firefighters racking up intense training for the 2012 Scott Firefighter Stairclimb March 11 in Seattle.
This climb is so popular, said Lance Groom, local climb co-captain with Phil Tonn, that registration was filled in 65 minutes. In contrast, last year the climb sold out in less than 10 hours, and that, too, was mondo fast.
Intrepid firefighters will tackle 788 feet of vertical elevation, scaling 1,311 steps, spanning 69 flights to the observation deck atop the Columbia Center, formerly Bank of America Tower. Situated downtown, it's the second-tallest building west of the Mississippi.
Fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is a critical part of being able to participate, according to the official website. Local firefighters want to raise $15,000 and so far have received more than $3,000 in donations. Donations to the local firefighters' effort may be made through stairclimb2012.com.
There is a $150 minimum entry per person and $1,000 early bird registration, with the departments competing to raise the most. "Everyone is pulling together," Lance said. Last year they raised $8,100.
In 2011, more than 1,500 firefighters from 281 different departments participated and brought in a record $930,000 for blood-cancer research and patient services.
Lance and other firefighters here are running up and down the Marcus Whitman Hotel & Conference Center enough times to scale 1,400 stairs in a workout. They're now pushing it to twice daily, said Lance, who will climb for his second year.
"The first year, you learn strategy. You have a 30-pound air tank, 20 pounds of gear and it's hot and heavy," he said. Of critical importance is regulating the air in the tank because when they reach the 40th floor they either need enough air remaining to make the 73rd floor or lose a minute or two to change air bottles, Lance said.
Those who reach the 40th floor without enough air are disqualified. Some, including Lance, want to make it on one bottle. There are officials spaced about every other floor to monitor competitors, Lance said.
"You're pumped and pretty jazzed," he added. "If you go too fast you can blow yourself out. You can see stars and get tunnel vision, so pace yourself. You need the excitement but must control it." Runners can get a little claustrophobic, too, but Lance said that feeling can be controlled as well.
"By the top, you're spent; you're done." People at the top help take climbers' gear off so they can cool down. Their vitals are checked before they're release to take the elevator back down.
It's one of toughest firefighter stair climbs in the world, he added.
Firefighters from here set to go the distance: seven from Walla Walla County Fire District 4, Phil Tonn, Lance Groom, Chief Rocky Eastman, Matt Schuster, Tania Nelson and Alma Gallardo, all returning climbers; and Hayden Linklater.
Tania is going for her second time this year. This fundraiser hits close to home for her, according to a release. Tania's 6-year-old son has bone marrow failure syndrome, which can lead to leukemia. He continues to undergo bone marrow biopsies yearly.
Walla Walla City Fire Department plans to send nine: Javin Berg, Raul Marroquin, Bryan McIntire, Shawn Ongers, Anthony Spada, Jason Strang and Eric Wood, returning climbers; and Fred Hector and Todd Stubblefield.
Cimmaron Perkins from Columbia County Fire District 3 will repeat the climb, as will Otis Garbe with Walla Walla County Fire District 6 in Touchet.
And 10 firefighters with Walla Walla County Fire District 5 in Burbank will make the ascent: Jeremy Garrett and Maria Noonan, repeating the climb; Mike Taylor, a Portland stairclimb veteran; and Bill Waters, Bonnie Waters, Justin Lessard, Mike Eutsey, Jeff Cleavenger, Travis Merk and Mike Morrison.
It's hard to resist images supplied by retired Whitman College librarian Joe Drazan, who has been going through old Walla Walla newspapers and other sources to collect not only photos but advertisements.
His compilations in several volumes are already for sale for $10 each at the Walla Walla Public Library, 238 E. Alder St., which benefits from the proceeds.
His latest collection is "Walla Walla 1920-1929," which has an illustrated history in 650 ads and 600 pictures.
Photos and ads are also viewable at his website, www.wallawalladrazanphotos.blogspot.com/
One such event touted in an ad and a news article took place in 1931 at the Edgewater outdoor dance pavilion.
That's when three men took on Billy, the 630-pound bear, in rounds of 10 minutes each. Joe found the ad and article in the June 1931 Bulletin newspaper.
"The guy brings his two bears to town and has them grapple with some of the locals. The followup news item is funny - too bad someone didn't have a camera," Joe said.
The ad promotes "wrestling tomorrow night at the Edgewater, 8:30 o'clock" (it was located behind what's now Marcy's Bar & Lounge, 35 S. Colville St., on Mill Creek).
Wrestler Robin Reed was to face Mervin Barackman in a best two falls out of three, in eight 10-minute rounds. Then, Barackman's Billy, the Bear, would face Leemon Broadhead of Pomeroy, Joe Kitterman of Dayton and Lee Smith of Pasco in three 10-minute rounds; and finally, Billy's 125-pound cub Andy would face 85-pound John Ruff in three 5-minute rounds.
Tickets were sold at Shep's and headquarters (thinking as it was a V.F.W.-sponsored event, it would be V.F.W. headquarters). Admission was $1.65 ringside; $1.10 general and all of 50 cents for ladies.
"Billy was ponderous. He also was a bit tired. But with the three middleweights who grappled with him, he did put on a novel bit of action. ... Brodhead had the most success in stirring Billy to action," the newspaper reported the following day.
Both bears had muzzles and the cub was gloved as protection. Plus the grapplers wore a leather jacket, "and got nicely hugged during the proceedings."
The event "drew more kids, that is the bears did, than have been together since the circus was here."
The only photo Joe could find of the Edgewater pavilion was taken during the April 1, 1931, flood.
The water is up under and over the Colville street bridge, and the Pavilion deck hangs over the creek.Etcetera appears in daily and Sunday editions. Annie Charnley Eveland can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or afternoons at 526-8313.

Bush avoids an all-out fight with his attorney general pick
Sen. Charles Schumer, the liberal Democrat from New York, raised the hackles and suspicions of Republican conservatives when he spoke warmly of Michael Mukasey, President Bush's choice to be U.S. attorney general, and said the former judge had the potential to be "a consensus nominee."
"Consensus" looked like the last thing the capital was going to get on this particular appointment. The White House's top candidate was said to be former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, a leading conservative and the top choice of the GOP's still scrappy right. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said he would do everything in his power to see that Olson was not confirmed.
It wasn't exactly a peace offering, but Bush did avoid a confrontation by picking Mukasey, 66, who retired last year as chief judge of the federal district for the New York City area, where he served for 18 years. Mukasey has a reputation as a law-and-order judge in the traditional conservative mode with a true conservative's concern for rights. He thwarted Bush administration efforts to block terror suspect Jose Padilla from meeting with his lawyers.
Mukasey, who presided over the 1993 World Trade Center bombing trial, is said to have substantial judicial expertise in national security issues, which he will need because the next attorney general will preside over a rewrite of the wiretapping laws.
His top priority will be staffing, and restoring the elan of, a Justice Department demoralized and tarnished by the tenure of Alberto Gonzales. The sooner a new attorney general tackles that critical chore, the better.
Senate Democrats ought to respond to the Mukasey appointment in something of the same spirit as Bush made it and confirm him thoroughly and expeditiously and not use his nomination, as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy has threatened to do, to force the administration to cough up documents the committee seeks. And they certainly should refrain from gloating that the president, in trying to avoid a fight, wisely picked someone that both conservative Republicans and Democrats can support.
Mukasey has not spent much time in Washington, meaning that he doesn't have many enemies in the capital, but also that the lawmakers don't know him. The senators will get acquainted with him during his hearings. And the enemies will come with the job.

Flip.to Lands Hospitality Maverick to Lead European Sales
October 31, 2013 5:12am
Orlando — October 31, 2013 — Flip.to, the brand advocate platform that helps hotels turn their guests into advocates, recently hired well-known hospitality sales executive, Alfredo Moreno de la Santa, to lead their European sales efforts.
Moreno de la Santa has extensive knowledge of the European market. In his prior role, he helped establish EZ Yield as one of the premier channel management platforms in Europe. He led the sales efforts in Southern Europe and was instrumental in expanding their customer base.
"The first time I saw Flip.to I was amazed at its simplicity. It uses the natural inclination of a hotels' customers to be social," said Moreno de la Santa. "Then, it takes that inclination and drives the family and friends of the guests back to the hotels website and drives bookings in a uniquely personal way. It is the first time I have seen a social product actually drive revenue."
Consumers generally trust the opinion of their friends, relatives and colleagues far more than traditional advertisements. Flip.to taps into that sentiment, transforming hotel guests into a huge, trusted marketing force. Each guest has well over 150 social connections on average, leading to brand advocates that have a long reach, make strong brand connections and in turn, generate a measurable uptick in booked room nights that Flip.to tracks.
"Alfredo brings a wealth of experience to the Flip.to global sales expansion plan", said Kristi White, Vice President, Global Sales Strategy for Flip.to, "His knowledge of the European marketplace will help us broaden our footprint. He has helped build brands in new markets in the past and we are excited that he is going to help us as we grow our brand."

ECC @ SubZERO Festival in San Jose
Thursday, 04 June 2009 06:20
After such a lovely trip south to San Mateo for the Maker Faire last weekend, how can we not sample what other treasures the south bay holds?
Set sail for SubZERO!
San Jose's SoFA district will host the SubZERO Festival, a "diy, artistically bent, hi/lo-techno-mashup" (ECC will handle the "hi" part, thank you). Over 100 artists will represent, including Author&Punisher (which we posted a video of) with whom we'll share the William Street stage. You are cordially invited to spin the booty-shaking Wheel Of Mashup and witness the head-turning VidiMasher 3000 for the first time in San Jose! And if all the attention we got at Maker Faire and elsewhere is any indication, it'll be the just the thing for The ECC to make a good first impression.
There's plenty more representing -- even other Wii-hacking artists like us -- so check the Street Guide and make a night of it!
WHAT: SubZERO Festival
WHEN: Friday, June 5, 2009 / ECC @ 8pm-9:30pm
WHERE: SoFA district in downtown San Jose, CA

T'is the season to be geeky
Fa-la-la-la-laaa la D I Y...
Yes it's that time of year again... spring is in the air... probably fired from some crazy spring-shooting canon. And that kind of thing would perfectly embody the aesthetic of Make Magazine's Maker Faire, a juggernaut of an annual event blazing a path somewhere between Burning Man and a really, really cool science fair. And this year the attendance will likely exceed both -- even Burning Man has never cracked 50,000, and Maker Faire is expecting 65,000+.
65,000+ geeks.
Geeks, nerds, mad scientists -- when you're one of them (and I am) those words are compliments. Make Magazine has unified that whole motley DIY crew under the flag of "makers", and the Maker Faire is your chance to watch them emerge from basements everywhere with new inventions, and in spite of the duct tape and zip ties holding it together, one of them might completely revolutionize the world of energy... or computing... or music, or light, or textiles, or... getting the point? The Faire is packed with a huge variety of the greatest, weirdest tinkerings from every hue of the smarty-pants spectrum.
And The ECC has been part of it from the beginning, the literal poster boy showing off our Thimbletron to thousands. Now we get the pleasure of debuting our VidiMasher 3000 before the geekerati, and if our fantastically fun shows from this year are any indication, this should be a show that should NOT be missed!
WHAT: The ECC's Wheel Of Mashup & VidiMasher 3000 at Make Magazine's Maker Faire
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, 30 & 31 May 2009 / ECC: 7pm Saturday on the West Stage
WHERE: San Mateo County Expo Center (i.e., Fairgrounds)
HOW MUCH: Day pass $25 / student etc. discounts available

Amsterdam benefit for DFM at OCCII
Tuesday, 05 May 2009 12:17
Coming up: a benefit show in Amsterdam for a very deserving radio station.

But we have connections: the deserving radio station is DFM Radio International, the Amsterdam-based internet radio station who broadcast the recent ubRadio Salon that ECC participated in, as well as DJ Marcelle's interview with The ECC (and you should listen to archives of both).
It's not easy to keep an internet radio station on the air without lowering the experience through advertising or charging the listeners (or even the DJs!), which some other stations do. Benefits like these are often the only source of income a station has. Thank you!
From the benefit info page:
DFM Radio Television International

Forest fires in Eastern Samar put out—report
More News from Julliane Love De Jesus
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines–Forest fires that scorched at least five towns for a week in Eastern Samar have finally been put out, a radio report said Tuesday.
More than 53 hectares of forest lands were gutted by the week-long wildfire, which broke out last Feb. 17 in Giporlos municipality.
Heavy rains brought about by the northeast monsoon, or amihan, in Eastern Samar on Saturday helped personnel of Bureau of Fire Protection and Philippine Air Force in completely extinguishing the blaze early Sunday.
Aside from Giporlos, the municipalities of Balangiga, Salcedo, Lawaan, Marabut, Quinapondan, General MacArthur, Basey and Guiuan were also affected by fire.
No residential areas were gutted by the blaze.
Last Friday, the BFP sought the help of the PAF to conduct an aerial spray to prevent the fire from spreading.
Eastern Samar is one of the towns devastated by Super Typhoon "Yolanda," which killed more than 5,500 in Leyte and Samar alone.
Aside from the hot and dry climate, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources said that trees and plants that have withered in Eastern Samar after Yolanda caused the burning of forest lands.
The BFP was investigating the cause of the wildfire.

Croup is a common respiratory illness often seen in children 6 months to 36 months of age. Croup causes distinctive symptoms, including hoarseness and a barking cough, a high-pitched sound (stridor) heard when breathing in, and trouble breathing as a result of swelling or obstruction in the windpipe (trachea).
Croup is usually caused by a virus that affects the throat and upper airways but not the lungs. It often recurs until a child is 5 to 6 years old.
You can usually manage croup symptoms at home by soothing your child and having your child breathe in moist air. Severe symptoms may require a visit to the doctor or emergency room where the child can be given medicines to reduce airway swelling. Oxygen may be needed until breathing improves.

text: In the second study, Christen Mirth, James W. Truman, and Lynn M. Riddiford address how developing flies sense that they have reached the proper size to initiate a new phase of development. Their new findings show that the prothoracic gland'the organ that releases ecdysone'itself acts as a size-sensing tissue. The researchers found that by manipulating the growth of specific cells within the gland, they were able to control the timing of metamorphosis and the body size of adult flies. They showed that artificial enlargement of the prothoracic gland appeared to cause an overestimation of the larval flies' overall body size, prompting the initiation of metamorphosis before the flies surpassed the minimal viable weight necessary to survive pupation. On the basis of their findings, the authors propose that under normal conditions, growth of prothoracic gland during development helps larval flies determine when a critical body weight has been reached and when metamorphosis should be initiated.

Protesters break through barrier round Egypt palace
Published on Dec 8, 2012 6:02 AM
CAIRO (AFP) - Protesters opposed to Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi broke through barbed wire barriers protecting his Cairo palace on Friday, but a cordon of soldiers prevented them from entering the main gate, AFP correspondents at the scene said.
A crowd of more than 10,000 protesters thronged the square in front of the palace, where army tanks were deployed. Some sprayed graffiti on the palace's perimeter wall, telling Mursi to "Go".
No violence was seen, but tensions were high after clashes at the same spot on Wednesday between pro- and anti-Mursi supporters left seven people dead and more than 600 injured.
Several tanks were stationed in the square and nearby, but made no movement against the protesters, some of whom clambered aboard to declare that the army was "hand in hand" with them.

As a father of six children, three of whom are between the 6 and 11 years old, I have extensive hands-on experience with helping my kids grow up "social" as our home is a virtual focus group. I continue to be stunned and amazed at how agile and adept even our youngest children are with technology.
Starting around age 3, my children interacted with sites like starfall.com, which provides a safe and interactive environment where kids learn can learn their ABC's, simple math and reading concepts. They soon graduated on to more robust sites that add in social functionality from Webkinz to Disney's Club Penguin to instant messaging what is on their iPod play list.
Their participation and the social actions they take are truly emblematic of their personalities, their key attributes and how they want to be perceived by their peers and the world.
Social media are also simultaneously transforming the way brands connect to audiences of all ages. There is a great need to engage in Web 2.0 and create a seamless and safe experience that's entertaining and participatory. Having consumers at the center of the digital universe requires a huge shift in the way marketing is executed. For brands, having a social presence has become table stakes.
Savvy marketers know they need to position themselves effectively as this generation gravitates and matures. By making their brands more social today and adding in social elements to their marketing mix that are safe, effective and age appropriate, they will build trust and mindshare.
Giving consumers the right tools will help build brand affinity and long-term loyalty. Social media provide rich environments for self-expression and engagement with peers for self-development. However, with all audiences and especially the youth, controls and moderation need to be implemented to protect the audience and the brand.
Online communities are great tools to help us educate our children. Webkinz is a good example of giving kids the power of self-expression while teaching them important life lessons. By purchasing an actual stuffed animal and bringing it home and adopting it online, kids learn responsibility and how to care and interact with their pet. Webkinz creates a powerful environment for self-expression from naming their pet and even decorating their own pet's room. They are given freedom to create their own online persona. They can also chat with friends in a safe environment with stringent controls over content messaging (pre-populated terms only) and no personal information allowed to be shared (like phone numbers).
As a parent, I know safety is paramount, and there are controls in place to help protect my kids, but as with any social media space, I know my kids need my time, guidance and supervision in this arena. Together, we can work on great learning as they work toward financial goals to care for their pet and as they socialize with their friends.
I started in social media a few years ago. The spark of inspiration was not only many market indicators, but there was one event in particular that solidified my instincts that marketing had becoming truly social: I witnessed by eldest daughter building her iPod play list.
Marketers need to take notice, engage consumers early on with social tools and start to position themselves for this next generation. Our children are trained at an early age to use and embrace emerging technologies. We need to keep it simple and easy-to-use but, above all, provide safeguarded environments to build trust for the child, parent and marketer.
And we need not forget about teaching our kids the power of real communication. Today's kids live isolated social lives punctuated by the glow of a text screen. We really are taking a step back in terms of communication with technology and it will be 10-20 years until the negative social ramafications make themselves known. But as a parent, it's very clear how little we actually communicate now than in the past and more importantly how little with communicate authentically. This will be a specialized field in the future.
As parents. most of us trust our small children but recognize the inherent dangers of the Net. KidZui is a great solution in that it allows kids 3-11 to engage in safe socialization and freely explore the best of the Internet keeping parents engaged with weekly reports.
Creating great content that inspires kids and allows marketers to reach them in ethical forms of engagement is a unique challenge.
GenY appears to now be dead... Hello, GenTD (Total-Digital?) Anyone age 6-11
This article and the comments ring true for my household. I'm excited about the future and to see how, as Gerard's calls them, the TD'ers evolve. Today I'm still ahead of my kids on technology, but I often wonder how long I will maintain my lead...
In addition to WebKinz, I've recently discovered my 7, 8 and 10 year olds using their Nintendo DS game systems to chat/draw amongst each other and their friends. They also play DS games with online environments. Even the aforementioned Club Penguin, has integrated their DS game with their online web community.
They are growing up social!

Sedalia City Councilmembers from Wards 1 and 4 are joining together to host a town hall meeting Wednesday at Katy Park Shelter No. 1.
All four councilmembers — Jo Lynn Turley and James Cunningham from Ward 1 and Tollie Rowe and Larry Stevenson from Ward 4 — will be in attendance to hear concerns from their constituents. In an effort to keep the event organized and to allow all the councilmembers to hear what each citizen has to say, there will be a PA system set up at the shelter. Citizens can step up to the microphone and speak on a topic for three minutes.
"We're going to let the public do the speaking," Stevenson said. "I'll open it up with a short welcome speech and then we'll open up to the public. We ask each and every person that has something to say to come to the microphone. (Councilmember) Bob Cross told me they had a bit of a problem at their town hall meeting, councilmembers were split up into different conversations. To prevent that we ask (citizens) to come up to the microphone."
Stevenson went on to say attendees are welcome to speak about more than one topic, but the councilmembers ask that everyone focuses on one topic at a time — citizens can speak for three minutes about a specific concern, others with that same concern will be allowed to speak, and then the same process will start over with a new topic.
Stevenson and his fellow councilmembers don't have a specific list of topics they'd like to cover. Rather, they will let citizens speak about what they feel is important. However, Stevenson said he had a few guesses as to which topics will be discussed.
"I think what has been in the paper (Friday) and on the radio, the ordinance on parking on Broadway, will be one of the hot topics. All four of us will have to answer questions pertaining to that," he said. "Inspections of rental property has been talked about in the community. It's a hot subject especially for people with a number of houses. Also this downtown inspection thing, just a combination of a lot of things. We're looking for a fairly large turnout. I think we're going to have some pretty open discussion."
Stevenson told the Democrat Friday afternoon he had already received three phone calls from citizens concerned about the proposed Broadway Boulevard parking ordinance, which the Citizens for a Clean Sedalia Committee voted to recommend to the city council during its meeting on Thursday.
This is the second town hall meeting hosted by various members of the Sedalia City Council, and councilmembers have said these meetings will continue to be hosted more frequently than they had been in the past.
"We need to stay in touch with our ward and the general public," Stevenson said. "I'm responsible for what goes on in the city. Ward 4 is my primary responsibility, but the whole city is our responsibility. It's good to get together and discuss what needs to happen in the fourth ward and the city."
The town hall meeting will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Katy Park Shelter No. 1, located on the corner of 24th Street and Grand Avenue. Seating and bottled water will be provided.

Terror Arrest Used As Fodder To Fund Real ID Act 212

from the excuses-excuses-excuses dept.
BeatTheChip writes "There's been a lot of buzz in recent days concerning the deadline to deliver on the federal Real ID Act. Congress is looking for corners to cut. One tactic is to attach emergency policy to the Real ID in order to sustain funding for its development by authoring members in Congress. In an effort to link the two, Rep. Lamar Smith and others asked DHS to increase enforcement of the Real ID Act over a terror suspect apprehended by lawful means."

Eastside Music Tour to feature 50-plus acts March 2
The Eastside is getting its own variation of Riverwest Fest, the three-year-old, two-day event that last December crowded more than 65 bands into multiple venues in the Riverwest neighborhood.

Reviews below, plus you can hear the songs for yourselves, but the Tyler track has some pretty nasty language, so best not to stream that one at work.

Hot Coffin thankful for its debut CD
Some advice for bands starting out: If you want to attract a crowd to your first show, offer free turkey.
"Our first show was at Riverwest Fest, and I lived around the block. So I made a turkey and invited a bunch of people over before and afterward," said Sean Williamson, vocalist for Hot Coffin. "I remember the year prior I had made a turkey for the first time, and there was something really rewarding about it." »Read Full Article
At the Marcus, sisters are doing it for themselves
Having transformed an awful nun's choir into disco-dancing divas, Deloris Van Cartier - a.k.a. Sister Mary Clarence, in the touring production of "Sister Act" now at the Marcus Center - has it out with the dour Mother Superior.
"People like going to the theater, but they don't like going to church, because it's a drag," Deloris reasons. Turning her wimpled boss toward the Marcus Center audience - doubling here as the Queen of Angels congregation - Deloris drives home her point by noting that the long-empty "church" is full. »Read Full Article
Is Lawrence Block giving his stamp-collecting hit man the last word?
If 'Hit Me' (Mulholland Books) turns out to be Lawrence Block's last work of fiction, as the 74-year-old mystery grandmaster suggested to the New York Daily News it might be, then it's a fine finale for a writer who never stopped growing, and who allowed some of his series characters the same privilege of changing.
I can't remember if I first found Block through his old fiction-writing column in Writer's Digest, or through one of his early Matthew Scudder or Bernie Rhodenbarr mysteries. But from the beginning I found his writing like pizza: good even in its ordinary manifestations, mind-blowing in its excellent ones. As a reader, I feel the same way about his late friend and occasional collaborator, Donald E. Westlake. As professional writers of popular fiction, they saw their job as keeping readers entertained enough to turn the page, and turn the pages we did. »Read Full Blog Post

SUFFOLK -- Suffolk Police launched an anonymous tip service Thursday to help prevent, reduce and solve crime.
TipSoft lets citizens anonymously submit crime-related tips through the Web, a text message or from any android or iPhone mobile device with the TipSubmit mobile app.
Chief of Police Thomas E. Bennett said, 'The Suffolk Police Department is excited about the addition of text tipping to our investigative tools. In today's world, every one operates via cell phones. This addition to our Crime Line capabilities will undoubtedly assist us in solving more crimes by obtaining tips from not only traditional methods such as phones and voicemails but through the use of non-traditional means such as email and text. The text tipping system will be easier and quicker while still providing a level of confidentiality for the tipster. We look forward to using this system.'
Tips can be submitted by visiting www.tipsubmit.com, or by texting the word 'CRIMES' (274637) with the keyword SPDVATIP.

You can pay almost anyone you receive a billing statement or invoice from for anywhere in the United States excluding government entities and court-ordered payments. We have information on most payees so all you need is your account number.

New 'Jurassic' Park movie targets 'Parks And Recreation' star Chris Pratt
Steven Spielberg returns as a producer with up-and-coming director Colin Trevorrow at the helmBuy Chris Pratt DVDs
from Amazon UK
Parks And Recreation's Chris Pratt is reportedly wanted for a starring role in Jurassic World, the fourth film in the Jurassic Park franchise.
However, TheWrap reports that talks between the actor and Universal Pictures and are "still in their very early stages" because Pratt would have to find a way to balance the film's shooting schedule with his Parks And Recreation commitments. Pratt's mooted role in the dinosaur sequel is said to be different from the one recently offered to Josh Brolin, who has apparently failed to make a deal with Universal.
Universal has recently given the film its official title, Jurassic World, and set a release date of June 12, 2015. It will arrive in cinemas nearly 14 years after the last instalment in the dinosaur franchise, 2001's Jurassic Park III.
Steven Spielberg will return as a producer and Colin Trevorrow is on board as director. The blockbuster sequel is a big step up for Trevorrow, whose only previous feature film is Safety Not Guaranteed, an indie comedy-drama made for just $750,000 (£500,000) that came out in December last year (2012).
As well as directing, Trevorrow co-wrote the latest draft of the screenplay with Derek Connolly, also his collaborator on Safety Not Guaranteed. "We don't want to create a new scoop here, but we definitely want to honour what came before us," Trevorrow said in an interview this July. "We are very aware of how much a certain generation especially cares about this movie and we talk about it all the time and really the conversation is: It's not about us, it's not about our careers, it's how do we make something that can stand with the first one."
Meanwhile, Pratt already has one high-profile film in the pipeline, Marvel's new ensemble superhero flick Guardians Of The Galaxy, which also stars Bradley Cooper, Glenn Close and John C Reilly and opens in cinemas on August 1, 2014.

Nursing Administration Training Programs and Courses
Those working in nursing administration are responsible for directing a health institution's nursing staff. Nursing administrators work in hospitals, medical centers, nursing homes or long-term care facilities. Completion of a graduate degree program and nursing experience will prepare individuals for a career in nursing administration.
Training Requirements and Recommendations
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a master's degree is essentially required for those who wish to become nursing administrators (www.bls.gov). Smaller medical centers or clinics, however, may accept a 4-year degree in nursing combined with experience in the field.
Those seeking to become nursing administrators can gain on-the-job experience by serving as a supervisory registered nurse before pursuing their master's degrees and beginning a career in nursing administration.
Formal Education
A degree from an accredited college or university is typically required for one to enter the field of nursing administration. Degree programs in nursing administration are offered at the graduate level. Those who wish to enter a master's degree program should hold at least a bachelor's degree in nursing and be working in the field.
Master's Degrees
A program resulting in a Master of Science in Nursing Administration is open to nurses who wish to advance to an administrative position. The curriculum for this type of master's degree program focuses on management, leadership, research and health care policy. Program coursework might include organizational theory, health care management, financial management, health care ethics, administrative decision-making and health care planning.
Some programs combine a Master of Science in Nursing with a Master of Business Administration (MBA). Required courses might include accounting, managerial accounting, business finance, financial management and marketing management. Other courses will address healthcare management, nursing management development, managerial economics, nursing operations and organizational theory.
Job Experience
Some employers prefer that candidates are licensed registered nurses (RNs) with 3-5 years' experience in the health care field. According to the BLS, registered nurses with supervisory experience and an advanced degree are best qualified to become nursing administrators. In some cases, experience in the same type of facility in which one is seeking to serve as a nursing administrator is preferred.
Licenses and Certifications
The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) offers the Nurse Executive, Advanced certification (www.nursecredentialing.org). One must meet certain educational requirements and complete 30 hours of nursing administration continuing education to qualify for this exam.
The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) offers two certifications for nursing administrators (www.aone.org). One can choose the Certified in Executive Nursing Practice (CENP) or the Certified Nurse Manager and Leader (CNML) credential. The latter credential is offered through the AONE's partnership with the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN), (www.aacn.org).
Workshops and Seminars
Seminars in nursing administration and management are offered as part of the curriculum in some master's degree programs. The ANCC and AONE provide workshops, seminars and other continuing education opportunities. Some organizations provide nursing management and nursing administration annual conferences. These conferences supply networking opportunities, advisory panels and breakout sessions.

Bears lead Dolphins 6-0 at halftime
MIAMI Robbie Gould kicked a pair of field goals and the Chicago Bears carried a 6-0 lead over the banged-up Miami Dolphins into halftime on Thursday night.
Gould connected from 46 yards in the first quarter and 24 yards in the second, helping the Bears get off to a nice start in their first trip to the Dolphins' stadium since losing Super Bowl 41 to Indianapolis. Chicago was looking to take a half-game lead over Green Bay in the NFC Central, plus move within a half-game of Atlanta for the NFC's best record.
Charles Tillman had an interception for the Bears, taking advantage of new Miami starting quarterback Tyler Thigpen.
Thigpen became Miami's 15th starting quarterback since Dan Marino's reign with the Dolphins ended, and his debut as a first-stringer was under, at best, what would be classified as difficult circumstances. He was 6 of 13 for 78 yards, and wasn't getting a whole lot of help from top receiver Brandon Marshall, either.
During one second-quarter possession, Marshall had two drops, a catch for 14 yards - and a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty for flipping the ball to Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, a former teammate with the Broncos.
In turn, Cutler threw the ball back to Miami a few minutes later. Cutler was intercepted by Benny Sapp with 1:41 left in the half, but the Dolphins not only didn't score after the takeaway, they came away with yet another injury concern.
Marshall left with a right hamstring injury on the first play of Miami's possession following Cutler's interception, twisting to the ground near midfield and immediately reaching for the back of his leg. The drive stalled shortly thereafter, and the Dolphins went into the break 0 for 6 in third-down chances.
Cutler was 10 of 16 for 90 yards, and the Bears held Miami to 93 yards of offense.
A short week of preparation couldn't have come at a worse time for Miami, which lost starter Chad Pennington for the season to a shoulder injury after just one throw in its win over Tennessee on Sunday, then lost starter-turned-backup Chad Henne to a left knee injury in the same game. The Dolphins signed Patrick Ramsey on Monday and listed Henne as the third, or emergency, quarterback for Thursday night.
So Thigpen made his 12th career start. He went 1-10 in the previous ones, all with Kansas City in 2008.
Nonetheless, Miami's injury woes continued. The Dolphins lost center Cory Procter to what was announced as a left knee injury with 8:59 left in the opening quarter. Procter went down without being touched, grabbing his lower leg, and remained on the turf for several minutes before being helped to the sideline.
Chicago came in with some health woes as well. A knee injury kept strong-side linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa sidelined for the 15th time since the start of the 2009 season, and Nick Roach started in his place.
Miami came in two games behind both the New York Jets and New England Patriots in the AFC East.

Baidu deploys Marvell's ARM-based server
Mar 11, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Marvell has announced the inclusion of its chipset in a commercial deployment of ARM-based servers at Baidu, Inc., a provider of web search services. Baidu is using the new ARM servers in its personal cloud storage application named 'Baidu Cloud'.
"Marvell is proud that both our passion to drive breakthrough technology and innovation and our vision to make an early investment in ARM more than a decade ago has led to this important milestone of becoming the first semiconductor company in the world to commercially launch an end-to-end SoC platform that supports a new era of server demands in the modern data center," said Ramesh Sivakolundu, vice president, Cloud Services and Infrastructure Business Unit, Marvell.
"Based on the ARM architecture and combined with our dedicated engineering, the Marvell server SoC is unique in its ability to deliver the low power consumption, high storage and computer density, fast implementation time and easy manageability that can help companies cost-effectively support a new era of cloud- and Web-based services. The Baidu implementation brings Marvell's vision for ARM architecture full circle, and Marvell's leadership and heritage as the only company to provide end-to-end ARM solutions that cover communications, storage, servers, compute and mobile was integral in making the Baidu deployment a reality." The ARM servers in the Baidu data center are powered by Marvell's complete platform solution of quad core ARM-based ARMADA XP SoC products, including the ARMADA XP CPU, Marvell's storage controller, and a 10Gb Ethernet switch. Marvell has customized the ARM servers specifically for Baidu's cloud storage requirements.
The Marvell platform is designed to increase the amount of storage for conventional 2U chassis up to 96 TB, and to lower the total cost of ownership by 25%, compared with previous x86-based server solutions.

The statement tees up forthcoming information the campaign will release concerning its fruitful delegate-attainment strategy still occurring at delegate-selection events such as state conventions ahead of the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
Below please find comments from Congressman Paul:
"As I reflect on our 2012 Presidential campaign, I am humbled by the supporters who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much. And I am so proud of what we have accomplished. We will not stop until we have restored what once made America the greatest country in human history.
"This campaign fought hard and won electoral success that the talking heads and pundits never thought possible. But, this campaign is also about more than just the 2012 election. It has been part of a quest I began 40 years ago and that so many have joined. It is about the campaign for Liberty, which has taken a tremendous leap forward in this election and will continue to grow stronger in the future until we finally win.
"Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future.
"Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have. I encourage all supporters of Liberty to make sure you get to the polls and make your voices heard, particularly in the local, state, and Congressional elections, where so many defenders of Freedom are fighting and need your support.
"I hope all supporters of Liberty will remain deeply involved – become delegates, win office, and take leadership positions. I will be right there with you. In the coming days, my campaign leadership will lay out to you our delegate strategy and what you can do to help, so please stay tuned.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul."
