Elizabeth Blackwell
(b. 1821, Bristol, England; d. 1910, Sussex, England)
In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. The English-born physician opened the field for other women while founding important medical institutions such as the New York Infirmary for Women and Children in 1857, and the National Health Society in 1871.
Born in England, Blackwell emigrated with her family to the United States in 1832, and lived in New York City. Privately tutored both in England and in America, she began her professional career as a teacher to aid her family economically after her father's death. At the time Blackwell decided on a medical career, there were no academically trained female physicians in the United States, making her acceptance to medical school unlikely. Admission to medical school also required previous experience, which as a schoolteacher, Blackwell did not have. Undeterred, she used her teaching skills to her advantage, moving to Asheville, North Carolina, to be a music teacher for the daughters of Dr. John Dickenson. There, Blackwell bolstered her medical résumé through his tutelage, and by observing his practice and using his medical library.
The admission of a female student into an American medical school was unprecedented. Some doctors Blackwell knew encouraged her to apply as a man, while others discouraged her altogether. She was rejected by almost all of nearly thirty schools to which she applied. She was accepted at Geneva Medical College in Geneva, New York where she began her studies in 1847. Despite being snubbed by the local community, referred to by the dean of faculty as an "inconvenience" to male students, and asked not to attend lectures on the male reproductive system, Blackwell persevered. She excelled in all of her studies, from anatomy to material medica, or the study of the origin, preparation, dosage, and administration of drugs. In January 1849, Blackwell graduated first in her class, after which the college closed its doors to women.
After medical school Blackwell faced additional difficulties. The dean never wrote the recommendation letters he once promised her. She was refused jobs in numerous hospitals; she had difficulty finding patients who would be treated by a female doctor and consequently she had trouble establishing her own practice. With the help of a cousin, in 1850, Blackwell began studying under Sir James Paget at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. She started a friendship with activists Baroness Anne Isabella Noel Byron (Lady Byron), and Barbara Leigh Smith, and also met Florence Nightingale, who was fighting for medial reform in England. Blackwell returned to the U.S. in 1851 to open a private practice with her sister Emily, who was studying to become a doctor in Chicago and facing opposition due to the controversy caused by Elizabeth's accomplishments.
Blackwell soon became an advocate and lecturer for the benefits of preventative medicine and physical hygiene. At the same time, she urged other women to pursue medical careers and pushed to make medical education available to more women. In order to address her biggest concerns—improving access to medical care and providing a place for women to work in the medical field—Blackwell founded the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children in 1857, which still exists as part of the New York University Downtown Hospital.
Although she preferred that women study alongside men in the same medical schools, Blackwell realized the obstacles to co-ed education. In 1868, she established the Woman's Medical College of the New York Infirmary and served as its professor of hygiene. In 1869, Blackwell returned to England, where she continued her medical advocacy. Leaving her sister to run the infirmary and college, Blackwell lived out the remainder of her life in England, continuing her work as a lecturer and advocate for medical causes. She published her autobiography, Pioneer Work in Opening the Medical Profession to Women, in 1895.
Elizabeth Blackwell at The Dinner Party
Elizabeth Blackwell's place setting is a metaphor for both her triumphs and her difficulties in the field of medicine. The plate is comprised of twisting, brightly colored forms that swirl toward a central "black well," a visual pun on the doctor's name. Like the new opportunities for women that arose out of Blackwell's efforts, the plate's curling color bands seem to be lifting off and growing out of their base.
The plate's bright palette is repeated through the rainbow colors of the runner, an abstract butterfly shape with scalloped edges resembling wings. The butterfly is a symbol repeatedly used in The Dinner Party to represent women's freedom. In this setting, it can be interpreted as a celebration of Blackwell's landmark achievements in medicine. The swirling motion depicted in the plate and runner also symbolizes the shift in thinking that allowed for more opportunities for women. The brilliant colors of the runner, however, are veiled in a thin gray chiffon, suggesting the difficulties Blackwell and other women pursuing careers in male-dominated fields still had to endure. The technique used to create the runner's form, reversed appliqué, or the cutting away of layers of fabric, is also a metaphor for the "obstacles faced by women wishing to break into various professions" (Chicago, The Dinner Party, 131).
The illuminated letter "E" on the front of the runner is embroidered as a stethoscope, a medical symbol referencing Elizabeth Blackwell as the first female doctor in the U.S.

Real Housewives of Atlanta star Apollo Nida is facing one of the biggest days of his life on July 8, when he will be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud. But as he prepares for a judge to change his life forever, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that he's doing it solo, since his wife Phaedra Parks jetted to Mexico on vacation!
Though Nida and Parks haven't been photographed in public together for 90 days, and have kept a low profile since his legal issues began earlier this year, he tells Radar exclusively, "We're cool. Everything's good."

He continued, "We're working to make it better."
But as he prepared for what may be his last July 4 holiday as a free man for many years, Nida revealed that his wife was miles away in Mexico.

"She's in Mexico for someone's birthday," he said. "Fantasia [Barrino]."
Indeed, Parks seemed to be without a care in the world — despite her husband's uncertain fate — as she posted happy snapshots from the trip:
Nida's good friend, and Kandi Burrus' husband, Todd Tucker, can be seen in some of the snaps as well.
Meanwhile, Nida was back in Atlanta planning for a special day with his son with Parks, Ayden.
"Every year I take Ayden to watch the fireworks over at Lenox Mall," he told Radar. "There's a hotel, and I like to get a suite to watch it outside and see it from the room, just chilling with the family."
Will Parks make it back in time for his July 8 sentencing? Stay tuned!

Local religious leaders hope a community gathering planned for Thursday in the heart of downtown LaGrange will help spark stronger ties between area residents and local law enforcement.
Organizer Jeffery Henderson, associate pastor of Grace Christian Center, said the idea for the vigil stems from current, violent anti-police protests seen in the wake of the shooting of a Ferguson, Missouri teen earlier this month.
"I saw something tragic," said Henderson. "But I felt like this was an opportunity to pull community leaders together and pray for peace — not just in Ferguson, but in LaGrange and across the nation and to prevent this from happening here."
Starting at 7 p.m. on Lafayette Square, Henderson will lead the public in group prayer, and residents will hear from elected government leaders and law enforcement officials.
Henderson said the vigil will follow suit with similar demonstrations that have sprung up around the nation following the death of African-American teenager Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri.
Brown was shot and killed Aug. 9 by Fegurson police officer Darren Wilson, who is white. Ferguson police have previously reported that Brown was fatally shot following a struggle with Wilson. Eyewitnesses, on the other hand, have said Brown was unarmed and was trying to surrender to police.
Since the teen's death, racial riots, anti-police protests and violent demonstrations have been rocking the small St. Louis suburb since Brown's death for the past 10 days.
LaGrange Mayor Jim Thronton said he plans to speak at Thursday's free event downtown and said he hopes it will continue to encourage locals and law enforcement to work together for a safe, civicly involved LaGrange.
"It's a chance for the police department to further build relationships with the community," said the mayor. "We're going to talk about what we can do, and continue to do, to prevent this from ever happening here."
LaGrange Public Safety Chief Lou Dekmar is also scheduled to attend the gathering. Dekmar said he will speak to attendees about his department's role in fostering safe communities while maintaining a professional, accountable police force.
"Our relationships are with the people we serve," Dekmar said. "And if there are ever concerns about law enforcement, then we have to have a process to review our conduct and be accountable to the people."

Public Gas Corporation S.A. Key Developments
Government is planning to start the privatization of Public Gas Corporation S.A. (DEPA) in 2014 to end in 2015, Simos Kedikoglou, spokesperson of government said. Open Joint Stock Company Gazprom (MICEX:GAZP) might bid in the tender again. The first tender ended in the summer 2013 and proved a failure. "All procedures for getting approvals and formalizing the acquisition of DEPA after the results of the tender are announced may take about a year. The company is already experiencing serious problems with non-payments by consumers, it is heading for restructuring to spin off DESFA, and the bidders were given no guarantees that public regulation of DEPA would not deteriorate. All this creates significant risks that affect the company's value, while the price of the deal is to be fixed now without taking all these factors into account," Kupriyanov said. Valentina Matviyenko, Chairperson of the Federation Council, upper house of Russian parliament, said, "If the terms being discussed are used as the basis for a new tender to privatize DEPA, Gazprom is ready to participate in it. Gazprom is interested in the DEPA privatization, but the terms proposed were unacceptable and the approval of new terms - the Greek government understood that the changes to be made were fair but ran out of time before they could be formalized."

The international tender to sell DEPA failed in June 2013, following Gazprom's refusal to submit a binding financial offer.
Greece plans to divest Public Gas Corporation S.A. (DEPA) in the first half of 2014, this could delay sale of Hellenic Petroleum SA (ATSE:ELPE); an official of the privatization agency said. No bids were revived for DEPA in June 2013. The offical stated: "The DEPA privatization will take place in the first half of 2014 and this delay is likely to push back the Hellenic Petroleum sale," said the official who requested anonymity. Since the DEPA sale failed ... we have asked ... to transfer €1 billion from our revenue targets to 2014." Privatization of Hellenic Petroleum, which owns 35% stake in DEPA, was planned for the last quarter of 2013.

File backup skipping files
Get the error that something is in use by another process. Most of the time it's an Office tilde file. Is there a way to ignore files that have a tilde in the filename?
Path not found error accessing c:\users\<user name>\ntuser.dat and c:\users\<user name>\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\usrclass.dat. The NTUSER.DAT file doesn't actually exist, at least not hours later when I actually go look for it. The other file is there though.

Do bear in mind that if you have specific exclusion list adding an exclusion to the all policies list will not use the exclusion - it must be in all exclude lists for the client
In general things like *~ etc will work but can slow a backup down as it will need to do a full scan of the system to find them all before a backup starts so could cause a timeout - be more specific when possible

Does anyone know the average cost of a flash based web ad, like those skyscraper ads with the flash animation. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance,
if you are looking to get these built you need to know a few things. If you are using this on your own site then more or less any flash savvy person can make you an ad and provide an SWF .
If you are wanting to get other sites to display your flash ads then the likelyhood is that you will need to have your ads served by an ad serving company such as EyeBlaster or TangoZebra (now called, Double Click)
So to answer your question, if you want it for your own site, then quite cheap, for instance i can build you one for around £250 depending on complexity etc, if you require it to go through other sites then i can build you one for around £250 BUT you have got to realise it will cost you more as you will need to pay the ad serving company, usually on a 'per click' basis and then you may have to pay the website itself for hosting your banner.
Some ad campaigns can run into thousands.
Hope this helped.
Depends strongly on the length and even more on the difficulty of the animation. Also If you want some kind of user interaction (I mean more than just clicking to visit your website, but something like an object that follows your mouse or even a videoplayer inside the ad) that will make the whole thing a lot more expensive.
Prices could easily range from $50 – $500 or more.
Personally I do only complex banners, it's more interesting for me (I hate doing animation), so I would say that price range may vary from 100EUR to 500EUR
I'm from Baltic States. Small country called Latvia. May be we will find few people who heard about it.
i charge a flat fee of 250 Euros / banner
but I've seen an interesting offering from BANNAZ .COM .

I heard someone the other day talking about how Miranda Kerr was finished, done, kaput. Out of Victoria's Secret, splitting up from Pirate boy, no longer relevant. Well, I boxed that medium to short-statured older woman square in the ear. What utter nonsense. Miranda Kerr will never be done. She's only just getting started. She's like a fine wine, in so much as the older she gets, the less likely I will be to find her joining me at my table at The Sizzler.
Just look at that fine body and booty on Miranda at the Jaguar pimping event out in Playa Vista. Talk about your sleek lines, high performance, and jaw-dropping handling. I'd like to handle her while my jaw dropped. Just ever so fine. Don't make me cuff you again, old woman. Miranda Kerr isn't going anywhere. Enjoy.

Critical Review by Thomas Gaughan
SOURCE: A review of Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie, in Booklist, Vol. 91, No. 3, October 1, 1994, p. 187.
In the following review, Gaughan asserts that although Thompson's Better Than Sex is not better than his Fear and Loathing books, it is worthy of attention.
At some point, people as diverse as John Wayne and the members of Aerosmith appeared to achieve a kind of wisdom when they began to parody themselves. There are hints in Better Than Sex that HST is winking—broadly—at us. Sure, he's still a vicious, twisted psychotic thug who can write that Richard Nixon was criminally insane from birth, but he also closes any number of preposterous gonzo screeds with the equally preposterous, "Take my word for it, Bubba. I was there." This is Thompson's take on Clinton's campaign and his first year in office—and its an outrage per page. Nobody escapes the good doctor's wrath: Bush is so guilty he makes Nixon look innocent; Clinton is a swine, but he's our swine; and Hillary is pilloried. Ross Perot, James Carville, Margaret Thatcher, James Baker III, Al Gore, and even Walter Cronkite also get savaged. Along the way, Thompson ruminates, occasionally quite shrewdly, nearly always hilariously, on politics, society, and of course, himself. Better Than Sex is not better than Thompson's great Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail or the gonzo bible Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Even so, a new book by Thompson is always an event.

Robert F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories
The conspiracy theories relating to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, a United States Senator and brother of assassinated President John F. Kennedy, relate to non-standard accounts of the assassination that took place shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, in Los Angeles, California. Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated during celebrations of his successful campaign in the Californian primary elections while seeking the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.
The perpetrator was a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant named Sirhan Sirhan, who remains incarcerated for this crime as of 2014[update]. Nonetheless, as with his brother's death, Robert Kennedy's assassination and the circumstances surrounding it have spawned a variety of conspiracy theories, particularly in relation to the existence of a supposed second gunman.[1] Such theories have also centered on the alleged presence of a girl wearing a polka dot dress claiming responsibility for the crime and the purported involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency. Many of these theories were examined during an investigation ordered by the United States Senate, and were judged to be erroneous by the Federal Bureau of Investigation who investigated on the Senate's behalf.
Second gunman[edit]
The location of Kennedy's wounds suggested that his assailant had stood behind him, but some witnesses said that Sirhan faced west as Kennedy moved through the pantry facing east.[2] This has led to the suggestion that a second gunman actually fired the fatal shot, a possibility supported by coroner Thomas Noguchi who stated that the fatal shot was behind Kennedy's right ear and had been fired at a distance of approximately one inch.[3] Other witnesses, though, said that as Sirhan approached, Kennedy was turning to his left shaking hands, facing north and so exposing his right side.[4] As recently as 2008, eyewitness John Pilger asserted his belief that there must have been a second gunman.[5] During a re-examination of the case in 1975, the Los Angeles Superior Court ordered expert examination of the possibility of a second gun having been used, and the conclusion of the experts was that there was little or no evidence to support this theory.[4]
In 2007, analysis of an audio recording [6] of the shooting made that night by freelance reporter Stanislaw Pruszynski appeared to indicate, according to forensic expert Philip van Praag, that at least thirteen shots were fired even though Sirhan's gun held only eight rounds.[2] Van Praag alleged that the recording also revealed at least two cases where the timing between shots was shorter than humanly possible. Van Praag also alleged that an analysis of the Pruszynski tape reveals the firing of more than eight shots was independently corroborated by forensic audio specialists Wes Dooley and Paul Pegas of Audio Engineering Associates in Pasadena, California, forensic audio and ballistics expert Eddy B. Brixen in Copenhagen, Denmark,[7] and audio specialist Phil Spencer Whitehead of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia.[8] Some other acoustic experts, through their own independent analysis, have stated that they believe no more than eight shots are recorded on the audio tape.[9]
On November 26, 2011, Sirhan's defense attorneys William F. Pepper and Laurie Dusek filed a 62 page brief in Los Angeles federal court which asserts that a bullet used as evidence to convict Sirhan was switched with another bullet at the crime scene. The brief claims that this was done because the bullet taken from Kennedy's neck did not match Sirhan's gun. Pepper and Dusek claim that the new evidence presented in their brief is sufficient to prove Sirhan innocent under the law.[10]
The security guard[edit]
Thane Eugene Cesar has been consistently cited as the most likely candidate for a second gunman in the RFK assassination.[11] Cesar had been employed by Ace Guard Service to protect Robert Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel. This was not his full-time job. During the day he worked as a maintenance plumber at the Lockheed Aircraft plant in Burbank, a job that required a security clearance from the Department of Defense. He worked there from 1966 until losing his job in 1971. Dan Moldea wrote that Cesar began working at Hughes in 1973, a job he held for seven years and a position Cesar said required the second highest clearance level at the plant.[12]
When interviewed, Cesar stated that he did draw a gun at the scene of the shooting but insisted the weapon was a Rohm .38, not a .22, the caliber of the bullets found in Kennedy. He also claimed that he got knocked down after the first shot and did not get the opportunity to fire his gun. The LAPD, which interviewed Cesar shortly after the shooting, did not regard Cesar as a suspect and did not ask to see his gun.[13]
Cesar stated that he did own a .22-caliber Harrington & Richardson pistol, and he showed it to LAPD sergeant P. E. O'Steen on June 24, 1968.[14] When the LAPD interviewed Cesar three years later, however, he claimed that he had sold the gun before the assassination to a man named Jim Yoder. William W. Turner tracked down Yoder in October 1972. Yoder still had the receipt for the H & R pistol, which was dated September 6, 1968, and bore Cesar's signature. Cesar therefore had sold the pistol to Yoder three months after Kennedy's assassination despite Cesar's claim in 1971 that he had sold the weapon months before the murder.[14] Author Dan Moldea wrote that Cesar submitted years later to a polygraph examination performed by Edward Gelb, former president and executive director of the American Polygraph Association. Moldea reported that Cesar denied any involvement in Kennedy's assassination and passed the test with flying colors.[15]
Manchurian candidate hypothesis[edit]
Another conspiracy theory relates to a Manchurian candidate hypothesis, that Sirhan was psychologically programmed by persons unknown to commit the murder, that he was not aware of his actions at the time, and that his mind was "wiped" in the aftermath by the conspirators so he would have no memory of the event nor of the persons who "programmed" him.[16] This theory was supported by psychologist and hypnosis expert Dr. Eduard Simson-Kallas after 35 hours of work with Sirhan in San Quentin prison in 1969 after his conviction which Sirhan claimed then, and to this day, to have no memory of the assassination or aftermath.[17]
The woman in the polka-dot dress[edit]
Kennedy campaign worker Sandy Serrano reported seeing a girl in a polka dot dress running from the scene with a man accompanying her, and claimed that the girl exclaimed, "We shot him! We shot him!". When asked to whom the girl was referring, Serrano reported that the girl said, "We shot Senator Kennedy!"[18][19] Another witness, Evan Freed, also saw the girl in the polka dot dress.[20] This report was connected by alternative theorists such as with another report of a girl wearing a polka dot dress who was supposedly seen with Sirhan at various times during the evening, including in the kitchen where the assassination took place.[21][22] Serrano stated that preceding her supposed encounter with the polka-dot dress girl, she heard a series of shots that sounded like a car backfiring.[18] However, following this claim, LAPD criminologist DeWayne Wolfer conducted tests to determine if Serrano could have heard the shots from her location. He found that there would have been a change in sound level of 1/2 decibel at Serrano's location resulting from a shot being fired in the kitchen of the hotel, and concluded that she could therefore not have heard the shots as she claimed.[23] Additionally, Kranz commented in his report that Serrano admitted to fabricating the story following further interviews with investigating officers and that he was unable to find evidence to corroborate any aspect of the original account.[23] However, in the documentary RFK Must Die, Serrano was adamant that what she saw and heard was true. Serrano stated that LAPD SGT Hank Hernandez bullied her into recanting her account; and audio of the 38-minute interview between Hernandez and Serrano furthered her assertion that she was bullied into withdrawing her account.
CIA involvement[edit]
In November 2006, the BBC's Newsnight program presented research by filmmaker Shane O'Sullivan alleging that several CIA officers were present on the night of the assassination.[24] Three men who appear in video and photographs from the night of the assassination were positively identified by former colleagues and associates as former senior CIA officers who had worked together in 1963 at JMWAVE, the CIA's main anti-Castro station based in Miami. They were JMWAVE Chief of Operations David Morales, Chief of Maritime Operations Gordon Campbell and Chief of Psychological Warfare Operations George Joannides.[24]
The program featured an interview with Morales's former attorney Robert Walton, who quoted him as having said, "I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard".[24] O'Sullivan reported that the CIA declined to comment on the officers in question. It was also alleged that Morales was known for his deep anger toward the Kennedys for what he saw as their betrayal during the Bay of Pigs Invasion.[25]
After further investigation, O'Sullivan produced the feature documentary, RFK Must Die. The film casts doubt on the earlier identifications and ultimately argues that the man previously identified as Gordon Campbell may, in fact, have been Michael D. Roman, a now-deceased Bulova Watch Company employee, who was at the Ambassador Hotel for a company convention.[26]

Biggest Pet Peeve in Tennis?
Mine would definitely be when my opponent hits a netcord winner and doesn't apologize. I know that 99% of the time, the apology isn't sincere but I just want to see the apology. Tennis is a gentleman's sport after all. Oh and if you celebrate a netcord winner, **** you.
I understand how sports work, all sports, I can take the netcord like a man. I don't you need you apologizing.
Why all the faux politeness???
You find yourself deep behind the baseline, chasing down a forehand that just manages to grab onto the last millimeter of the line. You stretch out as far as you can, barely managing to get your racquet on the ball.
You have successfully chased this fuzzy, yellow devil down and have it heading back toward your opponent. While anxiously awaiting your meek, defensive effort on the other side of the net, your shot grazes the net cord, hops about an inch into the air and drops limply on the other side of the net, out of the reach of the enemy.
YOU WIN THE POINT! However, you hold up the head of your racquet and apologize to the piece of garbage standing 78 feet away for the manner in which you managed to one-up your nemesis. WTF?!
You just came damn close to breaking your ankle chasing down a near nonreturnable shot. You not only manage to get it back, but you win the point. YOU WIN THE POINT!!! Why act like such a wimp? Would Mariano Rivera apologize for striking you out on a ball in the dirt? Would Warren Sapp apologize to your sorry rear end for sacking you, but only by holding onto your foot?
You busted your rear for this one. If you tried 1000 times in a row to hit the net cord in order to win a point, it would be unlikely that you'd be able to do it even once. So when the tennis gods are shining upon you, man-up and enjoy just your victory, will ya'?!
Without question its when you are captaining a team and someone loses and as an excuse they say that they lost because the opposing team wasn't good enough and how they clearly would have done better if they had played a higher line.
After the match when we retire to the clubhouse and my opponent doesn't bring a proper jacket or drinks his tea with his pinky sticking out.
How gauche.
Fortunately my edit time stamp is before your posting time stamp.
.......anyway, I'd say my biggest pet peeve are people that are "casual" about showing up on time. Especially for indoor court time.
An opponent who tells me how poorly they're playing on every changeover ... when they're beating me :mad:
my biggest pet peeve is players (of the same rating, or one rating higher) that think they are too good to play you in a casual match.
Net cords don't bother me. If someone hits with heavy topspin, their netcord winner isn't 100% luck as the spin often helps the ball climb over the net.
My pet peeve is people who say things like "I'm pretty sure that was out" or "that was out , wasn't it?"
If you aren't 100% sure ... then it was in !
I'm not bothered by apologizing or not after a net cord, but it is an annoying way to lose a point. ...however not so unpleasant of a way to win one :)
The thing about net cord winners though, no one is EVER trying to hit the net, so it IS an accidental winner. It's not like you should be feeling like you executed a great shot.
A peeve of mine is people who spit on the court. I played a guy on a hot dry day and picked up a ball wondering why it had a wet spot then I noticed the guy routinely spit on the court back behind the baseline.
People who continually call my out balls out.
People that play up in leagues.
I agree with those saying people showing up late. I don't like it even if the court is free. It's very disrespectful. If you're late when you're playing me you better have a d*mn good excuse.
Net cord winners do not bother me. In fact I would hit that shot every time if I could.
guys that refuse to say the score before each serve
guys that are receiving and say the score without giving me a chance to say it
guys that can't grasp the concept of holding one ball while I'm serving
The guy that walks two courts over to retrieve a ball while I'm standing on the baseline saying "I've got two...".

Shaheen Amendment Remains in Defense Bill, Ending Unjust Health Care Policy for Servicewomen
(Washington, D.C.) Today, a congressional conference committee completed its negotiations over the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013. The version agreed to by the committee includes an amendment introduced by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) to repeal the ban on health insurance coverage for abortion for military women and dependents who become pregnant as a result of rape or incest.
"The National Women's Law Center (NWLC) applauds Senator Shaheen for her tireless advocacy on behalf of the brave women of our Armed Services, who put their lives on the line for us every day," said NWLC Co-President Nancy Duff Campbell. "Thanks to her amendment, a long-standing and unfair policy is coming to an end."
"For too long, servicewomen and military dependents have been denied an important aspect of health care coverage," said NWLC Co-President Marcia D. Greenberger. "It was unconscionable that women who survived rape or incest were forced to pay out-of-pocket for an abortion. But with the inclusion of the Shaheen Amendment, they will have expanded access to the important health care they need. The Center is proud to stand with Senator Shaheen and American servicewomen everywhere."

Comply or Die – Trends in Modern Policing »
By Abigail Hall | Wednesday March 18, 2015 at 6:13 AM PDT | Comments Off on Comply or Die – Trends in Modern Policing
Every time a police officer is killed in the line of duty, it makes local, if not national headlines. Though always shocking, the number of law enforcement fatalities has remained fairly steady over the years. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 165 police officers were killed in the line of duty…

BOSTON, Mass. -- Jeffrey A. Bean, Regional Director for the Boston office of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) presented the Gardner Public High School with 30 computers including keyboards, monitors and printers on Friday, March 5.
"The used computers will be utilized for educational and teaching purposes in the Gardner Schools", said Jeffrey Bean. Although, the computers are no longer of service to the federal government, they are invaluable for teachers and students in this age of high technology.
The computers will help to establish a business and science computer lab which will be used by the students at Gardner High School.
The donation is made possible by a presidential executive order that permits a government-to-government transfer of property under the Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community initiative, added Bean.
"FEMA is pleased to be working in partnership with Mayor Charles Manca, Principal Walter J. Dubzinski and Bob Berlo from the Superintendent of School's office, FEMA finds making donations like this as a way to stretch taxpayers' dollars while putting the equipment to a good use, " said Bean.

Two 8 ohm woofers wired in parallel together actually is a 4 ohm load, if you wire them in series, you will make it a 16 ohm load. The same goes for 4 ohm woofers...wired in parallel will produce 2 ohms, wired in series will produce 8 ohms. This is a trick amp makers use to produce more power. If you put a lower ohm load on the amplifier, it will output more power because of less resistance. You just have to make sure you amplifier is rated for it or risk a chance of something frying.
That is some awesome info dude- thanks so much. For the longest time Ohms has actually had me confused. Okay, since you mentioned it, could I get some more info from ya'? Here goes:
This is my center speaker that I've been using for several years now-
That is actually a truck speaker box- with two speaker-wire terminals (one per-side). If you look close enough, you can actually see speaker wire coming out of either side. I have the speaker wire feeding into the center speaker output on my reciever. Since that box is rated at 300 watts/ 4-ohm load, and my reciever outputs 100 watts/8-ohm, I just assumed to never pump more than 75-watts to that speaker since it is recieving at 8-ohm signal. So far I've had zero issues, and there have been many times when I've had this system cranked way up, never any popping, gurgling or any other form of distortion or reason for concern. Was I wrong in my assumption? Is my amp actually going to be pumping out more to that speaker than the rest? No where in the manual does it say anything about my reciever being able to handle anything other than an 8-ohm signal- would that be to prevent confusion for noobs like me? My reciever is far from top of the line:
(currently the equalizer seen here is not in use)
As to the LXI's, I know I wont be getting much, but I'd just like to know what the "experts" here think I could get for them- at best, and at worst. I was figuring anywhere from $25-$50 per speaker. Does that seem too high? I couldn't fathom $50 for the pair being too steep, these are still awesome speakers for anybody that doesn't mind their size and limit of 100-watts power handling.

If you put a lower ohm load on the amplifier, it will output more power because of less resistance. You just have to make sure you amplifier is rated for it or risk a chance of something frying.
So... let me ask you:
The speakers that will be replacing my LXI's- right now it is just a 15" woofer per box, rated at 300 watts max, 150 watts RMS, 8-ohm load. What would happen if I wired (in a series) two 4-ohm car speakers (a tweeter and a full-range) to the 8-ohm woofer- would that make it 16 ohm all together (or would the 8-ohm woofer cancel it all out and make it 4-ohm again)? Thus meaning more resistance (if it would creat a 16-ohm load) causing the amp to work harder to pump out is rated wattage, correct? Could I device my own "Crossover", where the woofer gets its own signal, not being directly connected to the car speakers, but then having the two car speakers connected together in a series to form an 8-ohm load, and then running the two car speakers in parallel to the woofer? Would that work?
Okay, originally I got these speakers from Radio Shack... several years ago. Radio Shack no longer sells speakers like these. So that is why I need to find an alternate source for the two midranges and tweeters (one midrange and tweeter per box).
To clarify how my setup is currently-
I have the two LXI's I'm wanting to sell hooked up to the reciever I posted a pic of above, they are being used as my "front" speakers. That truck speaker is my "center" speaker, and then I have two 4-way tower speakers as my "surrounds" (If you want a picture of both of these tower speakers just let me know, currently I only have a pic of this one):
Those "5" (I put 5 in quotes cause my center speaker is actually two but I have it wired as 1) speakers are running through the 5.1ch surround sound reciever I posted the pic of above. For my subs, I'm using those the 15's I posted pics of earlier. I have two of those Fisher boxes, each having a single 15" woofer. I have both of those hooked up to this amp:
That amp is connected to the sub pre-out on my 5.1 channel reciever. I have the treble turned down, the bass up, and the loudness on. Unfortunately, that amp is no longer working- which considering that I've had it since I was about 14 (I'm 20 now), and would regularly have my music, games, and movies playing extremely loud- it was just a matter of time before it went.
It did 130 watts x2 @ 8-ohm. Since each 15" was rated at 150 watts RMS that seemed to be the perfect combination (that amp plus those speakers). Overall, this setup has worked unbelievably well. It will easily drown out the $600 sound system I have in the living room, even with all the doors between my bedroom and the living room closed.
No, I haven't had any neighbors complain yet- the neighbors to our left ocassionaly blares rock n roll, and the neighbor to our right is is a stock car racer.
So this neighborhood is accustomed to loud noises.
Anyhow, thanks again for all your input- I really do appreciate it.

Not a whole lot actually. The two Fisher speaker boxes I bought for only $20, and the two 15's I bought for like $80 about 4 years ago. The two 4-way towers I'm running as my surrounds were just given to me by a friend. I replaced the mid-ranges with some from Radio Shack (about $60 for the both of them), and then the 12" woofers I replaced with two from RadioShack (about $75 for both of them). Out of all my speakers, I love my two towers the most. Those things are relentless. They'll kick like a mule and keep begging for more. I'm not sure if the wattage rating on the speaker box refers to just the speaker's or crossover's maximal load- but so far I've pumped a continues 130watts to each one, not a single pop or hint of distortion.
My buddy was over and dared me to try it, I did, and even side by side yelling at each other we still couldn't here one another.
These things put out so much boom it rattled the cover for my bedroom light off (it was glass, and just screwed in), as well as rattling the vents in all the bedrooms loose.
I don't think I'll ever part with these tower speakers. I'd give up my computer before these beauties.
And it isn't for an HTPC per-se. I do have it hooked up for my computer, which is what I use for gaming, movies, music- everything. That is why you do not see a cassette deck or CD-changer- I have no need for either.
So, I guess that in a way it is for HTPC, sort of.

WEDNESDAY, July 2, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A combination of aerobic and resistance training may work better than either type of exercise alone in helping people with diabetes control their blood sugar, a new review finds.
Researchers analyzed data from 14 studies that included more than 900 people with type 2 diabetes. The studies looked at the role of aerobic or resistance training (workouts such as weightlifting) in boosting the health of diabetics.
Compared with either aerobic or resistance training alone, a regimen that combined both types of workouts was more effective in controlling blood sugar (glucose), blood fats, blood pressure and weight, the researchers said. The combination approach also helped more people reach higher levels of good cholesterol, according to the findings published July 2 in the journal Diabetologia.
The Austrian researchers added that there is evidence that supervised workouts are more effective than unsupervised training, but most people don't have access to the intense, supervised exercise routines used in the studies.
"Combined aerobic and resistance training can be recommended as part of a lifestyle program in the management of type 2 diabetes wherever possible," conclude the team led by Lukas Schwingshackl of the University of Vienna. They stressed, though, that more study is needed to confirm the findings.
One expert in the United States believes that exercise is always a good choice for people battling type 2 diabetes.
"Both aerobic and resistance activity are capable of reducing blood glucose," said Dr. Gerald Bernstein, director of the Diabetes Management Program at the Friedman Diabetes Institute, part of Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City.
However, different modes of exercise might have different effects, he added.
"Resistance training builds muscles and thereby increases glucose utilization through increased muscle mass," Bernstein explained, while "aerobic training burns glucose on the spot."
Bernstein stressed that, "most importantly, some type of exercise regularly performed makes a big difference in management of blood glucose and reduced risk for complications."

Columbus North beats Franklin Central 2-0 in boys soccer
September 5, 2014Columbus North High School
COLUMBUS, Ind. -- Junior Alan Rodriguez scored one goal and assisted on another Thursday evening (Sept. 4), lifting the Columbus North boys soccer team to a 2-0 victory over Franklin Central at Max Andress Field.
Senior Brayton Thornburg broke the ice for the Bull Dogs, who scored twice in a 33-second span in the first half to improve to 2-1-1 overall and 1-0 in their Conference Indiana East Division opener.
Thornburg's goal came with 18:07 left in the first half off an assist from Rodriguez. Not long later, with 17:34 left in the half, Rodriguez drove home a shot from about 18 yards with senior Jerrett Stark earning the assist.

It is useful to focus on four regions of the atmospheric boundary layer, each of which has a distinct mix of anthropogenic and natural VOC and NOx emissions:
• The urban-suburban atmosphere, which is the area most strongly affected by anthropogenic emissions
• The rural atmosphere, which is somewhat less affected by anthropogenic emissions and more affected by natural emissions than is the urban-suburban atmosphere
• The atmosphere over remote tropical forests, which is essentially free of anthropogenic VOC and NOx emissions and strongly affected by natural emissions
• The remote marine atmosphere, which is not only free of anthropogenic emissions, but also has relatively small biogenic sources of VOCs and NOx
Because we are most interested in the conditions that foster episodes of high concentrations of ozone, our discussion concentrates on observations made during the daylight hours of the summer months. In the sections below, we first briefly examine the typical concentrations of ozone in these four regions and then turn to the more complex issues of NOx and VOC concentrations and their variability.
Compared with those for NOx and VOCs, the data base of ozone observations is fairly extensive, especially for urban and suburban areas. At most rural surface sites, ozone concentrations have been found to vary over a diurnal cycle with a minimum in the early morning hours before dawn and a maximum in the late afternoon (Figure 8-1). This pattern is believed to result from daytime photochemical production or downward transport of ozone-rich air from above, combined with ozone loss by dry deposition and reaction with nitric oxide (NO) at night, when photochemical production ceases and vertical transport is inhibited by an inversion of the normal temperature profile. In locations near large sources of NO, the nighttime minimum in ozone can be quite pronounced because of the rapid reaction between ozone and NO. In fact, in many urban areas the NO source is strong enough to cause the complete nighttime disappearance of ozone. A somewhat different pattern has been observed at high-altitude sites (i.e., sites located 1 km or more above the local terrain). At these sites, ozone often exhibits a shallow maximum rather than a minimum at night (Figure 8-1b). This diurnal pattern is thought to

BANGALORE: Picture this. Two editors are locked in a fierce argument over the phonetically correct spelling for 'metre' in the Tamil script. While one editor insists 'meattar' is the correct transliteration, the other, who speaks Jaffna Tamil, insists that 'meeRRar' is the way to go. Tamil Wikipedia editors know exactly what this behind-the-pages war is about; as the Tamil Wikipedia has as many — if not more — serious contributors from Sri Lanka. Hence the point of conflict, as they say in wikispeak.
Like in the Bengali Wikipedia, where a good number of contributors are from Bangladesh, here too this online collaborative effort has transcended many barriers. As Wikipedia turns nine this week, its thriving Indian community looks forward to doing more than just weaving together a repository of freely accessible knowledge. It hopes that increasing wiki pages in Indian languages will, in turn, fuel the growth of vernacular content online.
A chicken and egg situation? Perhaps, concedes Balasundararaman, a wikieditor of five years. "Lack of online references [for citations or sources] in local languages is a major issue we face. But we hope that creating a better search experience will trigger demand for more resources." No less than 0.3 million of 7 million unique page views of Wikipedia from India (March 2009 comScore study) were traced to vernacular pages. Today, there are 52,470 Hindi wiki articles; over 44,265 articles in Telugu, over 20,000 each in Bengali and Tamil. In 2009, the Marathi, Hindi, Malayalam and Telugu wikis recorded over 100 per cent increase in page views.
As impressive as these numbers are, wikipedian Arun Ramarathnam from Bangalore points out that awareness is a major obstacle. "Most people don't know that Wikipedia, even Wiki News, exists in their local languages. Also, people are generally not computing literate in their mother tongues."
To rectify this, wikipedians have been organising offline extensions such as wiki meet-ups and outreach programmes 'wikiacademies' in schools and colleges. In Kerala, the pro-Free/Libre software government has made learning wiki editing a part of its IT@Schools programme.
The non-standardisation of data entry for Indian language fonts has been an issue. Lack of platform-independent fonts, inscript (a common keyboard layout for all languages), and good local search engines stand in the way of a better vernacular virtual experience.
"Even Mediawiki (the wikipedia software) had issues with linking wiki articles, for instance. These bugs had to be fixed, No localisation is smoother," observes Mr. Balasundararaman.
Tools such as Google's new Translator Toolkit, released last June, enables easy translation of documents/webpages in English to local languages. Transliteration tools are available in abundance.
So can a vibrant vernacular Wikipedia transform the language of the Web in India? Given the resounding success of this collective, and an army of Indian wiki foot soldiers to back it, it is indeed possible.

Hundreds of top brands, companies and media outlets trust us to give them the correct answers including:
When it comes to advertising online, what's the most important thing for your business? How much visibility do you achieve? How profitable is it? To achieve the success you want, you need to make sure you are targeting the right people on the right platform.
With over 700 million users, Facebook is the right platform for many businesses. It's popular, it's mainstream, it's where your customers go to socialise online; so why not be part of their social experience? Trust us, it works.
Consider traditional forms of advertising for a second; like television, radio and print. Well, companies using these platforms can only advertise to blanket audiences; there's no way of specifying who sees your adverts. However, the Internet has broken down many of these barriers.
For instance, with Facebook management, your adverts won't be shown willy-nilly. You can choose who sees them by age, gender, location, relationship status, and a whole host of other demographics. This makes Facebook one of the most highly targeted marketing channels.
The more targeted, the better the chance of success. Facebook advertising is direct and purposeful, but most of all, it's applicable to your audience. It's as to the point as an arrow shot by Robin Hood himself!
Whether you have existing campaigns set up, or are looking for an agency to help you get started with Facebook advertising, your advertising campaigns are in safe hands with Koozai.
Many businesses simply don't have the time or resources to manage their advertising campaigns, let alone make them successful. Well that's where we can help.
Our team of professional Social Media and PPC experts know exactly how to get the most out of any campaign, whatever your budget or requirements. We have the knowledge and the expertise to create, manage and optimise innovative campaigns exclusive to Facebook, allowing us to target the right people to promote your business.
Above anything else though, at Koozai we take a personal interest in seeing you succeed. It's what we pride ourselves on, and it's why we're different. Get more from Facebook advertising, choose Koozai.
We create cutting edge, award winning digital campaigns.

|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The field of medical image analysis has greatly influenced the practice of neuroscience. Many studies aim to find new disease related anatomical characteristics based on the analysis of Magnetic Resonance images (MRI). Image segmentation is usually a fundamental step, in which brain structures of interest are delineated from MRI. Neuroscientists then categorize segmentations of anatomical structures by attributes such as shape, size, or location. Besides medical images, biometric images such as facial images are gaining more and more attention from clinical research because certain biometric features are also related to neurological diseases. Similar to brain morphology analysis, facial features are collected for studies testing the hypothesis that the disease alters the facial shape. Despite the rapid development of image analysis technologies, most clinical practice still relies on laborious manual. The aim of this thesis is to develop a shape modeling framework for brain and facial image analysis, for the purpose of clinical practice. Specifically, it focuses on the following three problems: (1) brain structure segmentation from MRI, where several deformable model based segmentation methods are proposed; (2) quantitative analysis of brain morphology, where methods for directly comparing 3D shapes of brain structures are proposed, and clinical applications are demonstrated; (3) facial morphology analysis, where an automatic facial feature localization method is proposed, and applied to the shape analysis of the eyes.

Yeah, I'm mostly a PC gamer nowadays. And that's weird, because I'm gaming on a god damn Sony Vaio. That really shows you how wrong the people are who say "Don't want to spend $1000 on a gaming PC". Low settings on a PC these days still often look better than most games on a console. I'm even playing Planetside 2 on it. So yeah, I'm thinking I'm probably just a Nintendo-PC gamer these days (and yes, I will eventually get a proper gaming PC. It's not really a pressing matter at the moment, though. I can play most of what I want to play at the moment).
I never had a DS, so I've been going through that whole backlog as well as the few good 3DS games that have come out so far. Combined, it's quite a nice library. I have to say the DS Zeldas kind of suck, though. Or they suck by Zelda standards, at least.
360 is third because that was my main gaming platform for years, and I still have that library of games I'll replay. The PS3 is a strange one. I have a ton of unplayed games for it, but I just don't like turning on my PS3. I can expect my gaming on it to be delayed by (1) a firmware update, (2) having to install the game, and then (3) patching the game. And I'm reeeaaaally not fond of the controller too. But, yeah. I really have a ton of games that I need to get to for it.
The Wii is pretty much done. I've not turned it on since I finished Skyward Sword over a year ago, and the console itself has actually just been sitting in a drawer for most of that time. Whenever I want to replay something on it, I'll pull it out. But I've just had many other games to play.
I believe my 360 library is much larger than my PS3 library. However, lately I've been purchasing games for my PS3. My 360 sounds like a damn air conditioner. It's quite old at this point, and there's always this concern I'll buy a new game, only to power on to RRoD. There's no chance I'm going to buy a brand new 360 with this gen. drawing to a close. My PS3 is quiet, and more importantly, it's young. I didn't purchase it until FF XIII was released.

Five members of the local community were named to the search committee for a new director of Campbell County Schools.
A fatal West Knox County crash sent a Caryville woman to a hospital Saturday evening.
Three candidates remain in contention to fill the unexpired term of former Campbell County Road Superintendent Dennis Potter.
The LaFollette City Council fired two employees and rolled through the remainder of a stacked agenda Tuesday.
Dismissed were police officer Susan Sowder and firefighter Bo Byrge.
CARYVILLE—By this time next year, Caryville could be home to 150 new jobs -- and counting.
Jellico Community Hospital has formally struck a deal that will keep the facility open for at least 10 more years.
Campbell County residents are still recovering from some of the effects of the last two weeks of snowstorms with a two-count death toll, but more danger could be headed to the area.
A home was deemed a near total loss Friday morning after a fire erupted in the attic on an icy back lane off Long Hollow Road near LaFollette.
