BOGALUSA, La. -- A long-time City of Bogalusa employee was arrested by the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office for sexual offenses against a child under the age of ten, according to Sheriff Randy Seal.
Bobby Harris, 41, was charged three offenses after several items of physical evidence were collected during an investigation, as well as Harris making admissions about the sexual abuse after he was arrested, according to Seal.
An investigation was launched after the Washington Parish Crisis Center notified authorities about reported sexual abuses of a child, according to Seal, although facts about the allegations against Harris are being withheld for the protection of the victim and the victim's family.
Harris was placed in the Washington Parish Jail Tuesday and no bond has been set..

Bryce Harper 2 run walkoff shot!
This post is BABIP-lucky.
Harper HR in bottom of 9th.
Bryce Harper with the shot heard 'round the Capitol. Yes.
Heads of state that ride and wrangle. That look at your face from more than one angle. Can cut you from their bloated budgets. Like sharpened knives through Chicken McNuggets.

And it was good.

Pirates better be trading for some fresh bullpen arms. I don't think Grilli is going to be the only one with an injury.
I watched the 8th and the 9th. The Pirates just Do. Not. Give. Up.
But thanks, Harper & the Nats! Needed that.
Rounding third and heading for home...
Cards leading Phils 3-0 in the third with men still on base.
Cards have really been unbelievable so far this year. Phils announcers are extremely impressed.
The young guys that have stabilized their Bullpen have been unbelievable. I mean seriously when they need a Double Play they throw in Siegrist and he gets them in 1-2 pitches.
They are obviously enjoying the spoils from their rich farm system.... on some nights their 1-9 are products from their farm system...... and they still win without the likes of Beltran and Holliday in their lineup. Woah indeed.

Seattle Genetics says data from ADC programs to be presented at ASCO
Seattle Genetics (SGEN) announced that data from multiple proprietary and collaborator antibody-drug conjugate programs will be highlighted in more than 10 sessions at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2015 Annual Meeting being held May 29 to June 2, 2015 in Chicago, IL. Presentations will feature data from several corporate and investigator-sponsored trials with ADCETRIS, including additional analyses from the phase 3 AETHERA clinical trial and updated data in frontline diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In addition, the company's ADC collaborators, including Genentech (RHHBY), AbbVie (ABBV), Genmab and Agensys, will report data from clinical programs using Seattle Genetics' ADC technology. Seattle Genetics will also present preclinical data from its novel SEA-CD40 immuno-oncology candidate currently being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial. Seattle Genetics is evaluating its ADC technology broadly through ADCETRIS, proprietary pipeline and collaborator programs. The company is leading the field in developing ADCs, a technology designed to harness the targeting ability of antibodies to deliver cell-killing agents directly to cancer cells. In addition, Seattle Genetics is building on expertise in empowered, targeted approaches for the treatment of cancer in advancing its proprietary sugar-engineered antibody technology, a novel technology designed to increase the potency of monoclonal antibodies through glycoengineering which may lead to an improved antitumor immune response.
Xenon Pharmaceuticals sees IND for phase 1 trial of XEN801 in mid-2015
Xenon Pharmaceuticals (XENE) announced that Dr. Simon Pimstone, Xenon's President and CEO, will present a business update, including progress toward milestones, at the Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, June 2. Xenon's partner Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA) is conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b clinical trial for TV-45070 in osteoarthritis. Results from the trial are now expected late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter of 2015. Xenon's partner Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (RHHBY), is currently conducting a Phase 1 clinical trial for GDC-0276, which is expected to complete patient enrollment in the second half of 2015. Xenon expects to file an investigational new drug equivalent application to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of XEN801, a stearoyl Co-A desaturase or SCD1 inhibitor for treatment of acne, in mid-2015. If supported by positive data from the Phase 1 trial, Xenon plans to initiate a proof-of-concept Phase 2 clinical trial in the second half of 2015. Xenon expects to file an investigational new drug application for Xenon's Nav1.6 sodium channel inhibitor for Dravet Syndrome in 2016.

Halozyme and Ventana enter into global agreement to develop companion diagnostic
Halozyme (HALO) and Ventana Medical Systems, a member of the Roche (RHHBY), announced a global agreement to collaborate on the development of, and for Ventana to ultimately commercialize, a companion diagnostic assay for use with Halozyme's investigational new drug, PEGPH20. The Ventana assay will be used to identify high levels of hyaluronan. HA is a glycosaminoglycan that can accumulate around cancer cells. Halozyme has announced plans for rollout of a global phase 3 clinical study in 2016 targeting metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with high HA levels using its PEGPH20 in combination with ABRAXANE and gemcitabine. Under the agreement, Ventana will develop an in vitro diagnostic, under design control, using Halozyme's proprietary HA binding protein, with the intent of submitting it for regulatory approval in the United States, Europe and other countries. The financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Cruisin' in the fast lane, all life long.
No idea where I have been,
Here and there but don't know when.
Where did I go wrong,
Marching to this crazy song.
A paper bag, a pint of gin,
Cruisin' in the fast lane.
Not sure where I belong,
But there I, with sheepish grin,
Blinded by the spin I'm in,
Swingin' within the throng,
Cruisin' in the fast lane...

Officials investigate deadly Texas gas explosion
CLEBURNE, Texas A natural gas explosion in northern Texas killed one member of a crew installing utility poles, and authorities Tuesday were trying to determine if the gas line had been marked before digging started.
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration was among numerous agencies at the scene after a utility crew struck a gas line Monday afternoon, sending a massive fireball into the air. The National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday that it is sending an investigator from its Office of Railroad, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Investigations to the scene.
The lone utility worker missing after the blast was found dead Monday night, once searchers could safely walk through the entire charred area. Authorities had hoped the missing man had left the scene on his own, like some of his colleagues who drove themselves to hospitals.
Brian Fine, Hood County's emergency management coordinator, said the worker's body was found some distance from the blast site. The man's name has not been released.
The worker had been riding a truck drilling holes for utility poles when the line suddenly exploded, and other workers lost sight of him in the intense smoke, said Roger Harmon, Johnson County's top elected official.
Near the blast site in rural Johnson County about 50 miles southwest of Dallas, officials later found the truck upside down and saw that the 2,000-pound drilling component had been ripped off the vehicle and hurled 250 feet away, said Cleburne Fire Chief Clint Ishmael.
At least seven of the other 13 workers who had been working at the site went to hospitals. Gary Marks, CEO of Glen Rose Medical Center, said five people were treated and released Monday, and one remained hospitalized in stable condition Tuesday. One patient was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth on Monday. Whitney Jodry, a spokeswoman for that hospital, said Tuesday that she didn't know whether that person was still being treated there.
Laura Harlin, a resident of nearby Granbury, said around the time of the blast she heard a "huge rumbling" that initially sounded like thunder and then like a tornado because it lasted so long.
"For about 10 minutes, it was so loud that it was like there was an 18-wheeler rumbling in your driveway," she said.
The explosion caused confusion among officials in its immediate aftermath, with one city official initially saying three people had been killed.
Heat from the blast forced firefighters to stay about a half-mile away until the gas flow was shut off.
A control room at Houston-based Enterprise Products Partners LP, which owns the gas line, immediately identified a break in the line near Cleburne, said company spokesman Rick Rainey. The 36-inch line was equipped with valves that automatically shut down gas to that section of pipe, and the fire was out about two hours after the explosion.
The pipeline carries gas from West Texas across the state to utilities, distribution companies and commercial users in the eastern part of the state. Rainey said the company would work with customers to avoid any disruption to their service from the fire.

Scott Morrison Inspired Cradlecomments (6) December 4th, 2013 in Reader's Gallery
This is my Scott Morrison Inspired Cradle. The cradle is built from Walnut. The top rail is bent lamination and the bottom (platform) of the cradle is made from 12/4 material. The platform joins the top rail via vertical slats. There are 20 vertical slats, each unique depending on the location of the slat. The slats join the top rail and bottom platform by handmade doweled joinery for reinforcement of the joints. I have 265 hours in the build and I purchased a total of 120 BF of 8/4 and 12/4 walnut. This cradle was built for our second grandchild, which arrived in July of 2013. There is a tremendous amount of hand sculpting in the build of this cradle.
Scott does not sell plans to his cradle, but he was extremely helpful in answering questions concerning the build.
Thanks Scott for the inspiration and assistance.

I am building a similar cradle for my first granddaughter. This is really challenging. You did a great job. What did you use for the pivot joint between the basket and the legs.
Thanks for helping

The cradle stand started with 80 grit after the rasp work and moved up through the grits as with the basket.

Food Network, book take on weight in chef whites
Obviously not all chefs struggle with obesity and serious health threats like diabetes, but most do think about weight and how to hold back the extra pounds.
Allison Adato, a senior editor and former food beat writer for People magazine, is out in April with a book, "Smart Chefs Stay Slim," offering insights and tips from three dozen of the biggest names in the industry.
"Paula Deen's revelation may mark a turning point for some viewers and diners," Adato said. "My hope is that this moment creates a broader awareness that the way a person eats does have an impact on his or her health. Fortunately, there are a lot of chefs who have already thought about how to balance a healthy lifestyle with enjoying wonderful food."
Surrounded by rich, decadent food and their need to earn a living from it, Adato's chefs stay fit by keeping hyper-aware of every calorie. Some balance out their food excesses over a few days, indulging one day, but "eating clean" the next. They know the difference between tasting the food they prepare without gorging on it, and exactly how much dessert to enjoy.
As a pastry chef, Mignano said his problem wasn't so much the chocolate he was surrounded by. It was the junk food he'd slam down before and after work.
Ally Vitella, 41, a New York City caterer, discovered she had Type 2 diabetes at the first health check-in for "Fat Chef." At 5-9, she weighed 345 pounds and was forced to sit guiltily by as her husband and mother-in-law lugged catering ovens and other equipment up and down the stairs of their Manhattan clients.
After a job, "You're kind of a scavenger. I was eating hors d'oeuvres for lunch and dinner. I would scoop up half a tray of food and eat it. We were ordering pizza and Chinese food at home because we were exhausted all the time," she said. "We cook things you're supposed to eat once in a while, but I was eating them every day."
Vitella, who lives in North Caldwell, N.J., dropped from a size 28 to a size 16 during the show, losing nearly 60 pounds. Her goal weight is 190, but the important thing, she said, is she can play again with her 7-year-old son and 9-year-old daughter.
"I've learn that tasting means tasting, not tasting the same dish five times," Vitella said.
Escalation of Type 2 disease in the U.S. has been closely tied to obesity. Roughly 23 million Americans are believed to have the most common Type 2 diabetes; patients' bodies either do not produce enough insulin or do not use it efficiently, allowing excess sugar, or glucose, to accumulate in the blood.
Deen, who's made a lucrative living as a TV chef by going over the top with butter, cream and sugar, faced a torrent of criticism when she disclosed her diabetes diagnosis and her contract to lend her face and recipes to "Diabetes in New Light," a project of the drugmaker Novo Nordisk. The campaign's website includes detailed information about Victoza, the drug Deen has taken for nearly five months.
Smith calls Deen's endorsement deal "a mistake, ill advised" but said her personal health and her style of cooking "are her own business." He said he dropped the weight and redefined his lifestyle for himself, but also to show the public that it CAN be done.
"At this moment, chefs in America, particularly those fortunate enough to be embraced by the public as celebrities, have enormous influence," he wrote in the foreword to Adato's book. "I've tried to use mine responsibly."

Few authors have understood the tender intricacies of relationships better than the incomparable Belva Plain. In "Heartwood, " her final novel, she comes full circle with the themes she took up in her very first work, "Evergreen, " bringing us an unforgettable story of family and friendship, love and marriage, the challenges of life and the true secret of happiness.
Though Iris Stern considers herself a modern woman, with a successful career and a happy marriage, she still holds steadfast to her old-fashioned sensibilities. However, she often finds those sensibilities challenged by her children and the choices they have made. For Iris's daughter, Laura, a fresh start in New York City may be the last chance to save her troubled marriage, but as Laura copes with an impending separation and its effect on Iris's young granddaughter, Iris herself must come to grips with a long-held family secret. An emotional parting of another kind looms most prominently on Iris's horizon--as neither her beloved husband nor her marriage is immune to the ravages of time. But like the inmost rings of a tree that abide through the generations, Iris will be as strong as heartwood.

PREP WRESTLING: Poway captures 25th consecutive section title
POWAY — Nothing in the world can be certain except death, taxes and the Poway High wrestling team capturing the CIF section championship.
Poway hosted the CIF San Diego Section Division I championships Saturday, and the Titans cruised to the team title, easily outdistancing runner-up Vista by a score of 359.5 to 178.5.
With their resounding victory Saturday, the Titans captured their 25th consecutive section championship and their 30th section title in the last 31 years.
Poway grapplers Colt Doyle (113), Josh Miranda (120), Ralphy Tovar (126), Victor Lopez (132), Jesse Taylor (138), Steve Cervantes (160), Connor King (170), Richard Durr (220) and Kelly Simmons (heavyweight) all finished first in their respective weight classes, giving the Titans' nine champions total. The Titans also boasted four wrestlers with runner-up finishes.
In front of the partisan home crowd, the biggest cheer came when Cervantes stunned No. 1-seed Jesse Whalen-Orona of Carlsbad, edging him 5-3 in an overtime decision.
Whalen-Orona, the No. 11-ranked wrestler in his weight class in the state, had previously beaten Cervantes in their only meeting (2011) and held a 3-1 advantage with less than a minute remaining in their Saturday championship bout. However, Cervantes was able to even the score at 3-3 with a late takedown and added another takedown in overtime to capture the 160-championship.
"He was the No. 1 guy in the county," said Cervantes, the junior transfer from Eastlake. "I couldn't let my support down so I went for it. There's no turning back. I almost screwed up at the end, actually I did, but I recovered as quick as I can. It came down to the end. He was beating me up in the beginning. I just waited for him to wear down a little bit and he did."
In a one-sided affair, Durr quickly pinned Granite Hills' Conner Blackwell in 1:49 to claim the 220-pound championship.
"Richard has come a long ways in his four years," said Poway head coach Wayne Branstetter of the senior. "To see how far he has come since the ninth grade, it's been a real joy to watch. He is ranked in the top four in the state of California and he's going on to wrestle in college. Wrestling has definitely had an impact on his life, turned him around."
Only a freshman, Tovar easily dispatched Vista's Mike Armstrong with a 9-0 major decision in the 126-pound championship match.
Tovar has already supplanted himself among the state's top wrestlers in his weight class, as he is currently ranked 13th by Clinch Gear.
"For the first two or three months, I was underneath Victor Lopez at 132," said Tovar. "I had to figure out, it was either stay here and be B team, or try and drop (weight) and challenge to make A team. I ended up dropping the weight. I never cut weight before. I did it and it worked out. Our team is stronger now."
Other individual champions from Saturday included Rancho Buena Vista's Undre Hobson (145) and Anthony Ball (152), Augie DeSantis (182) of Escondido and Chance Eskam (195) of Carlsbad.

The University of Chicago 3T MR Imaging Research Center houses a research-dedicated high field Magnetic Resonance System (3T-MRI). The facility has the necessary equipment for functional MRI (fMRI), structural MRI as well as devices for presenting visual and auditory stimuli to people undergoing fMRI scans and recording their behavioral responses.
Associated with the imaging center is an excellent group of researchers working to develop magnetic resonance imaging methods and apply them to brain mapping in relation to neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, and social sciences.
Scanner upgrade
The scanner at BRIC will undergo an upgrade. This project is scheduled to start on March 7, 2015, and will take about two months, maybe a little less. This does not mean a new scanner, but it is a serious hardware/electronic and software upgrade. The primary components of this upgrade are:
- A new split (TX) transmitter with slice-by-slice optimization of excitation pulses to significantly improve uniformity of excitation.
- Addition of Philips 'D-stream' technology based on integration of signal-to-noise ratio.
- Improved detectors including a 32 channel head coil, and specialized coils for body imaging including dedicated breast and prostate coils.
- Integrated MRI-guided HIFU.
- Improved monitoring hardware and software for fMRI experiments.
- Improved pulse sequences and data analysis software for fMRI, susceptibility-weighted imaging, and arterial spin labeling, and fat-water imaging.

Though statistics show a growth of 16 percent in last ten years, there is actual reduction population of the state thanks to measures taken by the government. Decadal population growth rate in the state has reduced by 6.74 percentage points during 2001-11 as against 3.8 per cent points at national level, the highest reduction in population growth rate in Maharashtra so far, according to the Economic Survey of Maharashtra 2013–14.
Maharashtra is showing signs of a controlled population growth with negligible improvement in sex ratio. The sex ratio in 2001 was 922, which rose to 929 in 2011. The national figure of sex ratio is 943. While the figure for Konkan sits in the bottom at 894, Nagpur is on top of the table at 964.
As per 2011 census, state's population was 11.24 crore, of which, 48.2 per cent comprised women. The good show on this front can be attributed to factors like near-stagnant birth rate, infant mortality rate and death rate over the years
According to the survey, the state has a disabled population of 30 lakh. There are 4.94 crore people engaged in economic activities of whom 4.38 crore were mainstream workers, and the rest marginal workers.
The data shows a rise in crimes against against women and children – 17,800 cases were registered in 12-13, an increase of nearly 600 cases over the previous year. There were 1839 rape cases registered in 2012, which was 1701 in 2011. Offences such as molestation, sexual harassment and domestic violence too have gone up. While offences committed against children have shown an overall decline, rape and abduction of kids have gone up, says the survey.

I have been renting homes in Chilmark for over 25 years and have local references.
I'm an artist who has painted the Vineyard for almost 40 years.
Betty Martin purchased this farmhouse in 1976
This home is close to all three beaches, and major conveniences, like the Chilmark Store, community center and a 5 minute drive to Menemsha with fish markets, take out and restaurants.
This home has the best of both worlds surrounded by large trees and overlooking an oak woodland but not way down a dirt road ! It is up the street from Hariph's Creek Bridge, a great spot to watch a sunset.
This home surprised us and gave us the best of both feeling in the woods but yet close to everything without a long dirt road. We really relaxed in the hot tub and jacuzzi, and will certainly be back to do it again. The sound of the ocean at Squibnocket as we sat in the tub at night was a special experience. The ocean was amazing too. Thanks so much for a great stay, we are recharged !
Just spent a very relax vacation in this country style house that gave us a family home feel outside of our home. The house is surround by green trees with beautiful wood logs inside. It has big kitchen with a lot of utensils and big diner room table can fit 8 people comfortable. The TV room has two sofa that my kids loves to spend overnight there.
The house is not far (15 min) from Menemsha beach and Aquinnah on the Cliffs that are the good spot for sunset.
Betty is very helpful. We had a problem on the TV remote control and I sent her an mail and she came to fix it right away. She also gave us suggestion to buy grocery on the way from ferry that save us time to going out again. There is a close by small general store but has limit stuffs.
A family of 5, we stayed for 2 weeks in August and had a great experience. The house is clean and well maintained, and an excellent location- very quiet at the property while being less than a 1/4 mile from the main road. An easy ride to the 2 best beaches on Martha's Vineyard: Lucy Vincent and Squibnocket, the house is less than 10 minutes from either beach. Also conveniently located about 1/2 mile away is the iconic Chilmark Store, where you are guaranteed to make frequent visits for quick meals and snacks.
Other highlights:
-Nearby Middle Road and South Road in Chilmark are great for running and biking.
-Very close to Menemsha, for great sunsets and fried clams at "The Bite".
-Kayaking at Quitsa ocean pond.
-A 15 minute drive to Aquinnah. See the light house, dramatic cliffs, views of the Elizabeth Islands, and spend time at Moshup's Trail Beach.
-Take advantage of the Chilmark Public library for beach book selections, movie rentals, and a cool break from the Summer heat.
As vacationers to Martha's Vineyard for 25 years, we highly recommend this property (as long as it's not during the weeks we want to stay there...). You will have plenty of time to visit the other interesting towns on the island for shopping and other fun activities, then come back to the serenity of Chilmark.
The location and ambiance are wonderful.
This is a home with space, amenities, and lovely touches that reflect the owners warm personality.
A fully equipped kitchen for the gourmet chef, with spices, sea salt, all the cookware one could imagine. Delightful plates and serving dishes complete the dinner experience.
The dining room table sat ten ( we had visitors from Edgartown) with room for more!
The hot tub outside, along with the hammock, left us relaxed and refreshed.
Just down the road from Chilmark Chocolates ... what more could one ask!
Surprise ... a couple of air conditioners! Plus plenty of fans to keep everyone comfortable.
Plenty of nooks and super comfy couches to read, relax, watch TV, or just chat.
Would we come back...in a heart beat!
Thank you for a wonderful Up Island escape to this little slice of heaven on the Vineyard.
Bravo et merci!
This home is close to both of Chilmark's coveted beaches, Menemshah Pond and Chilmark Center which has a General Store with take out, Fine Dinning and Community center 1/2 mile away. It's also a very short drive to Menemsha Fishing Village with it's quaint harbor, fish markets with fresh fish and multiple places selling take out to bring to the beach for sunset !

Did you UC them, or are you still pregnant?
Check out the video Psalm and Zoya if you can...fabulous!!
That is an old dvd that used to be available but the mother stopped selling it for privacy, I think. So may be hard to find. Probably your best bet would be something like a birth center resource library or similar.
There was a gal that UCed twins end of 2010 or early 2011 on this board. Think she posted her story. Remember her username started with an A. LOL
What I remember is all went very well and she was happy she did it. She had 911 called on her by her mom, but the paramedics arrived and assessed that the babies were both healthy and fine and left.

Not the same at all, but I did have a very happy homebirth with our di-di twins. It wasn't the smoothest birth in the world, but my biggest issues came from being a first-timer. With di-di twins I think you'll find it's just a normal birth followed by another. Have you UC'ed before?
My girls were both head down, which actually caused a small problem. It seemed like the chin of one babe was getting in the way of the shoulder of the other, and our "Baby A" couldn't descend. Moving around didn't help, but having an assistant hold one babe up on the outside seemed to. I was on a birthing stool. Once the shoulder got clear, Baby A was born without a problem. An hour rest and then Baby B came smoothly.
Best wishes!
Yep, I had my twins unassisted. Mono/di twins. They're now 2 years old, and my firstborn is sitting in my lap. It was a very wonderful first birth experience. I had my third baby unassisted, too. If you're interested, I have a birth story for the twins and a video of my third. :)
I am very interested in that Almi!!
I have not UC'd before. I almost did with my last one. I had it all planned but chickened out at transition and hubby was all too willing to go to the hospital at that point. He freaks at delivery even in a hospital.
All the research I've been doing frightens me with all the hands-on and interventions that insist on at the hospital just because they are twins. All the "just in case" scenarios... It's ridiculous!!

Yeah that is the problem I have found with multiple birth in hospitals as well. They are even worse than with singletons, so many things they do for absolutely no genuine reason. Most hospital for example, seem to make multiples spend a mandatory 24 hour in the nursery for 'observation' even if there is not a single thing wrong with them during delivery or following. Makes me so angry, all their protocols.
I've only attended two twin births (as a doula) and neither of them required "observation" because they were twins.
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
Maybe it's only for triplets then I thought it was all multiples, but maybe I only took the information relevant to me...My bad
It probably actually depends on the hospital you are delivering at, and a number of other circumstances.
Had I birthed in the hospital I was going to for prenatal care, I was told that my first baby would be clamped and cut immediately and taken away from me until I delivered the second. Since she was only 4 lbs, 2 oz. at birth, they probably would have went ahead and put her in the NICU while they were at it.
Here's my birth video, there is a link to the twins' birth story in the description. :)
Yay, Thanks Almi- off to watch now :)

|Couples who are trying to conceive a baby and pregnant women should avoid this hormone.
Just found this message and I think I have real-life experience with melatonin inhibiting ovulation. I took melatonin for a week last month because I wasn't sleeping at night. I knew it might affect ovulation, but I hoped that taking it for only one week and after my last O, maybe it wouldn't affect my next O. Well, I skipped O'ing this month (I just started anovulatory bleeding), something that rarely ever happens. So I think the melatonin *did* affect my ovulation. :
I'm going to the store to get more Benadryl because I think that's the safest thing for me to take at this time so I can get some sleep. (I take one near bedtime and it helps me fall and stay asleep.) Major insomnia here. I'm also going to change some bedtime routines and try to read a book or meditate near bedtime.
Huh. The only thing I've ever heard about melatonin is that your brain CANNOT naturally release it unless you are sleeping in pitch dark. So dark that if you put your hand up in front of your face you shouldn't be able to see it. This is how we sleep after we found this out. HUbby has gotten really good at blocking out the bedroom windows.
I don't know if that info will help anyone on this thread, but I just learned about it not too long ago.

An applicant who received a partial stipend in the previous year may apply for a stipend this year for the amount of the difference between this year's stipend amount and the amount of the partial stipend the student has already received.
4. A student with a full OLSPIF stipend of $4000 may not receive any other stipend or form of financial support. If a stipend recipient receives a second stipend (e.g. an Oregon State Bar Public Honors fellowship or the like), the student must return the OLSPIF stipend in full.
C. Requirements for stipend consideration/Eligibility Criteria
1. You must be a full-time first or second year J.D. student in good standing at the University of Oregon School of Law.
2. You must have a sponsor letter offering legal work from a sponsoring organization. Once you receive the letter, your name must be redacted from nine of the ten copies you submit with your application. Feel free to share the following requirements with your sponsor organization to assist them in preparing the necessary materials for your application:
- a. An offer of employment, which may be contingent upon receipt of a stipend;
- b. A statement of the maximum amount of money, if any, that the organization can pay you for your work;
- c. A general statement of the goals of the organization and a brief description of its work; ]
- d. A description of your job, including responsibilities, hours, and the amount of supervision you will receive by an attorney.
3. You must write a personal statement, no longer than three pages (single space, Times New Roman, 12 point font), explaining why you and your sponsoring organization should receive an OLSPIF stipend. Your name cannot appear on nine of the ten copies of your personal statement. You may want to include the following:
- a. The goals of your sponsoring organization;
- b. How your work would help achieve those goals;
- c. How your work would benefit specific groups of people or the public good in general;
- d. Your specific duties and how your work will provide you with a good legal learning experience;
- e. How your work will further your own career goals, especially as those goals relate to the public interest;
- f. A description of your commitment to public interest law and/or to the particular area in which you will work, and
- g. Any other information that would be helpful to the Selection Committee in making its decision.
4. You must have contributed ten hours toward OLSPIF fundraising during that school year. Five of these hours must be earned by volunteering with OLSPIF, and the remaining five hours may be earned by volunteering with the Public Interest Public Service (PIPS) student group or through performing five hours of pro bono work through the Pro Bono Program. This requirement must be filled prior to applying for the grant. (Please see attached Fundraising Contribution Sheet.)
Please note: The OLSPIF Stipend Application process is a competitive selection process; meeting basic eligibility criteria does not guarantee that a student will receive a stipend!
D. Job requirements
1. Your job for the summer must be in the public interest. OLSPIF's definition of "public interest" is broad. Your Personal Statement will define for the Selection Committee how and why your job is public interest work. Narrowing the focus of your project will help the Committee better understand your prospective summer experience. If you need help finding a sponsor for the summer, contact the Career Services Office or Alternative and Public Interest Careers Associate Director.
2. To receive a full stipend, you must work full-time (approximately 400 hours over the course of the summer). Partial stipends are available for part-time work (approximately 200 hours over the course of the summer). If you do not complete approximately 400 hours you must reimburse OLSPIF pro rata (absent severe illness, injury, or other emergency).
3. The organization for which you work must be unable to pay you more than $200 per week for your work. Any salary paid by the organization will be deducted from the stipend amount and will be considered a partial stipend.
4. The organization for which the student will work must be not-for-profit, government funded, or a government agency. Because government agencies generally have more funding, they will receive more scrutiny by the Selection Committee; be sure to make clear why the particular agency lacks funds and how your contribution to the agency will promote the public interest.
5. Your project must involve legal work. OLSPIF seeks to provide you with a valuable learning experience in addition to helping the community. Your work MUST be supervised by an attorney. Note that lobbying, organizing, and political campaign work are excluded from eligibility for an OLSPIF stipend. You may work for an organization involved in these activities, but you may not participate in those activities as part of your summer work for which you are receiving an OLSPIF stipend.
E. Post-stipend expectations for Stipend Recipients: Please read carefully!
1. Upon finishing your summer public interest law work, you must write a statement about your experience. We will use the statements to inform other students about the kinds of public interest law work available and to show those who donated to OLSPIF how their donation was used. Additionally, if your stipend comes from funds provided by the UO Law School Alumni Board, we may ask you to write a thank you letter, with a description of your summer work experience, to the Board.
2. You may be asked to give a short oral presentation of your work experience at a future OLSPIF meeting or event. These presentations are critical to maintaining the history and momentum of the OLSPIF organization.
3. You may be asked to participate in a video production for future auctions or for the OLSPIF webpage to demonstrate the benefits of OLSPIF's fundraising.
4. While you are still a student at University of Orefon School of Law, you are expected to attend future OLSPIF auctions as a volunteer and/ or as an ambassador for OLSPIF.
5. OLSPIF seeks to form long-term relationships with its stipend recipients for the benefit of current and future students. As an attorney, OLSPIF may ask for your continued support in the form of attending events and speaking on behalf of OLSPIF, and where possible, contributing financially to OLSPIF as you are able.
F. The selection process
1. The selection process is anonymous. All materials, with the exception of the "Cover Sheet" and the "Fundraising Contribution Record," must be submitted to the Selection Committee without names. To the extent that you know members of the Selection Committee please avoid discussing the stipend application process with them.
2. The OLSPIF Community Board selects stipend recipient. The Community Board members include local lawyers and judges.
3. Stipends shall be awarded on the basis of the following:
A. The applicant's ability to make an impact with his/her target population/cause or organization;
B. The merits of the proposed project;
C. The organization's monetary needs;
D. The project's benefit to the student's legal education and career goals;
E. The applicant's prior commitment to public service as demonstrated by jobs, internships, public service student group involvement, and pro bono work;
F. Commitment to OLSPIF's mission as indicated through service to OLSPIF in excess of 10 hours.
The Community Board may give added weight to:
A. Projects for organizations that directly serve vulnerable/disadvantaged populations such as the poor, elderly, children, domestic violence survivors, migrant farmworkers or the like;
B. Projects that serve communities in the Pacific Northwest.
The grants shall not be awarded based upon academic achievement or financial need. Grant applicants must include any other sources of funding they have received for the project. A grant applicant may request a full grant or a partial grant for a specified amount. An applicant who receives a full grant is no longer eligible to apply for another OSLPIF grant. An applicant who receives a partial grant in one year may apply for another grant in the amount of the difference between a full stipend for that year and the amount of the partial grant the applicant previously received. Requests for full and partial stipends should be treated equally.
4. Stipend recipients will be announced by as soon as possible. All applicants will be notified by email.
5. All applicants will be notified of any changes to the important dates in the selection process.

Moravian Condominiums Unit 205
Is it time to be a seller??
Aka- 10 Rittenhouse Condos. Located on the north side of Rittenhouse Square, Ten Rittenhouse Condos offer a great location, high end finishes and fabulous amenities.
Ten Rittenhouse condos are located in the 19103 section of Center City Philadelphia and demand generally outweighs supply at 130 S. 18th St (Ten Rittenhouse) Condominiums.
My two cents on one of the most desirable condo buildings in the City of Philadelphia- The Residences at The Ritz Carlton at 1414 S. Penn Sq. across from city hall.
Located in the 19102 zip condo of Center City, The Ritz Carlton condos offer a variety of sizes and price ranges. One of the hottest selling condo buildings in town...and for good reason.
The Murano is located within the 19103 zip code and demand has proven to be strong over time for condos at the Murano in Philadelphia.
Waterfront Square and Ten Rittenhouse Square are holding their own in the Philadelphia Condominium market in terms of sales this fall 2012!
Mark talks about the ups and downs of pricing policies, such as "fixed pricing models" that have been seen in some Philadelphia Condos...two examples are Locust Point at 25th and Locust and Hawthorne Loft Condos at 712 S. 12th St.
A lot of folks think there needs to be fighting and drama to be a winner when it comes to a Philadelphia Real Estate transaction. This isn't necessarily the case. Generally speaking, condo buyers always want to pay less and sellers think they deserve more, but when it is all said and done, there is usually no reason for drama when purchasing a Philly condo!
Every Philadelphia condominium agreement of sale comes with a home inspection contingency. Every home inspection reveals some sort of defect...be it a double tap, water stain, burner that doesn't ignite, etc...most Philadelphia condos for sale are used and have been lived in. There is no such thing as perfection.
There is an interesting phenomenon in Philadelphia real estate called "REO's" aka Relo's" aka "corporate owned" properties. In the 1980's I specialized in Real Estate Owned Philadelphia condos. This is bank inventory that can be acquired in a number of ways. REO's are a close cousin to foreclosures.
Located in the Old City/Society Hill section of Center City Philadelphia, these condos are new(er) construction condo that were built around 2005. One unit per floor with a huge two story luxury penthouse!

Intel Demos Wireless "Resonant" Recharging 184
from the really-strikes-a-chord dept.
As everyone's credit cards were erased during the demo.
They did expect users with paper currency and PMs would be more open to purchase.
At an event held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, the researchers showed off a pair of iPod speakers connected to a 30-centimeter-wide copper coil that received power from a similar, but larger, copper coil about a meter away.
I'm having a little trouble here with the concept. Instead of small white box plugged into the wall we have these freaking huge copper wires running in circles everywhere. Just doesn't jibe with the trendy iPod image.
Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things?
I get a real charge out of it.
Just paint the copper wires white.
I saw a documentary called Iron Man where this was done.
Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things?
that would wipe out every credit card in the neighborhood, not to mention HDD's and CRT's
"the type of radiation shared between the two coils is nonradiative,"
Wow, they invented non-radiative radiation!
Wait a second...
Programmers used to batch environments may find it hard to live without giant listings; we would find it hard to use them. -- D.M. Ritchie

Rules and Regulations X-Runner competitive timed heats.
Start Times - Winter Warrior is organised in groups of 300 runners every thirty minutes, see below for your race start times. Please aim to arrive at least one hour before your race. Race packs including t-shirt and race number will be available at registration on the day.
This event is now SOLD OUT if you would like to be put onto the reserve list please contact us here
New for 2015 – Winter Warrior in detail
We are really excited about 2015, there are a lot of new things on the horizon, new venue, new obstacles, new registration system, changes in competitor timing, vip hospitality and of course the all new and wondrous Winter Warrior!
There appears to be a real buzz about the new winter event, what can you tell us about the Winter Warrior?
We are really busy getting geared up for this one as its only a few weeks away. The event is brand new and we are really excited to be working with Donington Park, they have been extremely cooperative and supportive and seem equally excited to have our Xrunners on the course and are totally up for all the crazy stuff we want to do. The feature obstacle will be a massive new slide called the "Cresta Run" the slide will send you skidding around one hundred meters down the main straight on the race track.
We will be shifting around ten tonnes of earth to create the 'Mud Mile' and utilising over 2500 tyres and crash barriers to build obstacles on the race track itself. The race track is being completely resurfaced next year in preparation for the return of MOTOGP so this has allowed us to utilise the circuit and the official track start and finish lines which will give the runners a real sense of the race track experience. The feeling you get when you run round the circuit is quite amazing, the sheer size and scale of the place is extremely thrilling.
Will you still be creating your signature obstacle 'Water Slides'?
Yes, whatever the weather we plan to include at least two slides, however instead of soaking or submerging people, we have redesigned the slides to use a minimal amount of water and are currently experimenting with foam for that added winter feeling. We don't want hyperthermic runners, our events are all about fun and Winter Warrior will be no different. The main slide will be located close to the end of the course so you can enjoy it before the finish line and then get straight into the heated changing rooms and heated hospitality area to defrost. We should also mention that none of our obstacles are compulsory so if anyone (*excluding elite runners) wants to miss an obstacle out for any reason then you simply request to be directed safely around.
Also NEW for Winter Warrior is the 'Climbing Zone' this will be a large structure, six aisles wide, 30 meters long, 3 meters high and 8 meters wide, constructed mainly from timber. Agility will be essential! The whole concept was inspired by one of my favourite climbing spots in the Peaks and will include a traverse wall, balance zone and a mantle shelf, balance with core and upper body strength are a must for this one.
What happens if it snows, are you concerned about the weather?
No, we are not concerned about the weather, in fact it would be great if there is snow or ice on the ground, there is nothing better than going for a run on a crisp winters day. It's probably going to be cold but we've chosen Donington for a reason and that is because the venue can handle the event whatever the weather. Parking and access is always a major concern at large outdoor events, however this venue has plenty of hard standing parking with excellent road access so unless the government issue a travel warning advisory then we are going ahead regardless of snow, ice and any other weather elements.
Will there be a lot of running on hard tarmac?
No, this will be kept to a minimum, you will run on the start and finish lines and across the track but almost all of the course will be grass, mud and gravel. We will also be using quite a few gravel traps which are actually around three meters deep, this presents and interesting entry for our risk assessment as its unknown what will happen after 4000 runners have been through deep soft gravel, expect it to be hard going, similar to running on the beach?
Xrunner is famous for fun, Winter Warrior sounds really tough?
The date of this event certainly lends a new element of challenge to Xrunner however we can assure you that there will still be plenty of squeal appeal on the course. It will be cold but you will be running so you should stay warm whilst on the course and we are not planning to submerge you or soak you completely. It's what happens after the finish line that will matter most so we're taking this very seriously as we still want to send everyone home with a smile on their face – not frozen on obviously!
You mentioned VIP Hospitality, what will this involve?
Once across the finish line, we will direct you into the pit lane where we are providing ample heated indoor changing rooms. There is the free option of a cold water shower to quickly rinse off the worst of the mud before putting your winter woollies back on or you can upgrade to VIP hot shower and luxuriate under warm water, these are £10 per person and must be booked in advance as places are limited.
Once you're clean and dry we will direct you into the heated indoor hospitality suite which we have hired as a vast heated comfort station. You will collect your goodie bag then go through and join your team mates or spectator friends and enjoy the party atmosphere whilst getting your hands on a well deserved hot drink and food. Donington is a world class venue with first rate facilities and we are maximising everything we can to make this event enjoyable and keep everyone as comfortable as possible.
Are there any other new obstacles planned for next year, any info you can give us?
Yes, we are planning to add some really awesome new challenges in 2015 and will be investing heavily in this area of the business next year. The competition is hotting up in the obstacle racing world and to stay as one of the key players we are planning to up our game significantly.
Our newest obstacle from last lear the 'Human Cannonball' was almost a year in development. We designed the idea, then we built the concept, then we tested it, we added tunnels, tested further, then added water, tested further and we didn't release it until we were happy it would make people smile, which it did. It was fantastic to watch and listen to grown adults giggling like children. This obstacle idea has been developed further for the Winter Warrior, and will be the feature obstacle a massive slide with maximum squeal appeal, the "Cresta Run"
2015 will see the constant introduction of new obstacles throughout the year, the new 'Climbing Zone' will feature at all events and we are working on other new developments at the moment. Water is a constant theme at most of our events and we are working on some fantastic new water based obstacles, the first of which will be launched at the Wild Run in April in preparation for the full scale water based assault course at Water Wipeout in June 2015. So all in all we are very exited about next years obstacles as there are some dramatic and ambitious plans in the pipe line.
Next year we will also be setting three different difficulty levels or routes on some of the bigger obstacle, allowing runners to choose the blue, red or black route depending on ability. For example on the "Climbing Zone" there are effectively six traverse walls, six climbing boxes and six balance beams, so we cant set two lanes as moderate difficulty, two as severe and two as extreme, these will be coded blue, red, black respectively The black being the hardest will have a crux move requiring considerable skill to negotiate, competitors will be allowed three attempts before being allowed by. The black run will be compulsory for elite competitive runners competing for the glory but the majority will be able choose the route best suited to them, tough it up or take the chicken run!
You mentioned the change of competitors timing, what's the thinking behind this?
It's not really been fully our decision, we take feedback very seriously and welcome every comment, it's how we strive to give a better experience! The majority of our runners feel that timing is not important to them and would prefer investment in new obstacles, it's the challenge and the entire experience that most people love and more than 70% of our runners are running as a team, not an individual for an individual time or winning place. We know that we have a number of runners who are more competitive and still want the best time possible, so we have decided to keep the first wave as elite heats with timing for those who still want this part of the experience. The rest of the heats are non-competitive and we feel this will work well as the fun runners and the serious runners have a very different experience on the course and are essentially at odds with each other if on the course at the same time. Run for fun or run for a time, you still have the choice!
So how does the new registration system work, how does it benefit your customers?
We are continuing to use the same provider as they are the best in the market but the new system is effectively an upgrade so comes with new functions and more user friendly interface. There are quite a few improvements, mainly the self editing abilities and the team functions. Up until a designated time before race day, runners can access their own registrations and make amendments to their profile which include updating their contact details, emergency contact person, wave times or even substitute themselves for another runner should they need to pass on their ticket for any reason.
The team function is really useful, a designated team captain can register and then set up a team on their registration. They can then decide if the team is to be 'open' or 'private'. Teams that are 'open' are great for larger groups, charitable groups, corporate groups etc… as it means that the team is open and accessible to anyone that wants to join. The 'private' teams mean that you have to be invited to join by the team captain, this works well for most people as they only invite (by email) the people they want on their team. There is a 10% discount for 'private' teams that recruit ten or more runners. Once all members are fully registered, let us know and we will refund the team captain with the discount amount.
You can also pre-pay for your team members to ensure everyone gets a space. You can register yourself then add on as many pre-paid places as you like, then invite people to come and join your team.
There is also an express registration option for registering on a smart phone, you can just pay to reserve your space then access your profile to input your details at a later date from another device. It's really simple to use with tonnes of useful features and so far, our runners are getting on really well with the whole system!
Sounds like Xrunner is Extremely busy for the 2015 season, any more plans for Xpansion?
The obstacle racing and mud running community is the fastest growing event in the sports industry and Xrunner plans to expand with demand. 2015 will see a steady growth with the existing events, however we are aware that if we want Xtreme expansion we need to go nationwide so this year we are on the hunt for two new locations. We are looking into a venue in the south and a venue further north so watch this space as we plan to start dominating the obstacle racing scene nationwide!
*Elite Runners – Competitors must complete the full 10k race distance (two laps) and must complete every obstacle. Competitors are responsible for their own navigation, the course will be well marked, if you go the wrong way or miss an obstacle you will be disqualified from the competitive heat.
Winter Warrior main event page here
Winter Warrior Hospitality - Heated changing rooms, showers and heated hospitality suite, could this be the future of obstacle racing.
Showers / Washing Facilities – There are heated changing rooms and a heated hospitality suite for all competitors, these will have cold shower heads so you can rinse off the worst of the mud.
HOT showers are available at £10 each, these must be booked before the race, if you would like to reserve a hot shower please click below.
These individual shower units have there own shower cubical, they will be accessed through heated changing rooms. Limited availability, please book early to avoid disappointment.

ARLINGTON A $400,000 North Arlington home that used to be owned by former Texas Rangers slugger Juan Gonzalez is now the home of a man who claims he legally snagged it for $16.
David Cooper says he simply filed an affidavit for adverse possession when he found the residence was empty.
It's the latest in a string of such cases exposed by News 8, and one of at least 60 such cases filed recently with the Tarrant County Clerk.
This house was abandoned, Cooper asserted. It was abandoned.
He said the property was trashed, inside and out. In fact, the homeowners' association has been trying to identify the legal owner, who disappeared and let the property fall into disrepair.
The HOA president said the property is not in foreclosure, and neighbors seemed to know little about the former residents.
Cooper has been fixing it up. But Tarrant County District Attorney Joe Shannon said that doesn't give Cooper the right to file a claim and move in.
It's kind of a scam that's been going all around, Shannon said, adding that squatters could be committing several crimes.
We want to send the word that we're serious about doing something about this, Shannon said.
Last month, Minister Tony Brown was charged with burglary after he used adverse possession to claim his Arlington neighbor's house while she was out of town. The owner said he also stole her television sets.
Brown founded Believers in Faith International Ministries. Officials said another of his enterprises, American Vet Services, paid for the utilities at a vacant Mansfield house commandeered by another man through adverse possession.
David Cooper said he doesn't care what the district attorney says he said he's just following the law.
It's no fraudulent claim. It's been a law since the 1800s, Cooper said.
Adverse possession is a long-recognized law, but the district attorney says it doesn't protect what squatters are doing.
On Monday, Shannon told the Tarrant County Clerk to stop accepting adverse possession claims.
Ironically, the Dallas County Clerk's office said it just received clearance from the DA last month to start accepting them.
It's not over yet.

moreIn this engaging, accessible memoir, Charles Hartman shows how computer programming has helped him probe poetry's aesthetic possibilities. He discusses the nature of poetry itself and his experiences with primitive computer-generated poetry programs and -- illustrated with sample computer-produced verses -- traces the development of more advanced hardware and software.
The central question about this cyber-partnership, Hartman says, "isn't exactly whether a poet or a computer writes the poem, but what kinds of collaboration might be interesting." He examines the effects of randomness, arbitrariness, and contingency on poetic composition, concluding that "the tidy dance among poet and text and reader creates a game of hesitation. In this game, a properly programmed computer has a chance to slip in some interesting moves." less

Good morning;
Your sporting goods store may well have something that will fit your needs. Look for a bag for short skis or snowboards. There was one that used two molded plastic parts that telescoped one into the other for fitting different length skis or snowboards, and it was very durable and protective. There is a larger one that works with golf clubs. The baggage handlers are accustomed to working with this kind of bag. I also put antennas in mine for luggage transport.
