1. Message from John Norquist on Climate
Sustainability and the role new urbanists can play in addressing climate change was a focus of a conversation I had with Geoff Anderson last week in Washington, D.C. I met with Anderson, now President of Smart Growth America (SGA), to discuss how CNU and SGA can work together to bring the built environment's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions to the forefront of our national dialogue. One immediate challenge is Senate Bill 2191, introduced by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Sen. John Warner (R-Va.). The bill's title, "America's Climate Security Act," is compelling, but its content needs work. Many of the projects within the bill are funded by its proposed cap and trade system on carbon dioxide. This system is projected to generate a lot of money, but instead of going to energy saving measures like, say, transit, the bill directs more funds to subsidize the oil, coal, and gas industries.
With more than half of greenhouse gas emissions coming from our buildings and transportation sectors, our nation needs to hear the expertise of new urbanists. As a member of this movement, we hope you will participate by contacting your legislators and calling for better funding for transit and land use planning. Watch CNU.org and additional emails for more details and a proposed letter you can send to your Senators to improve the bill. In the meantime, here are some links describing the bill from various perspectives:

2. At Austin Congress, New Urbanists Rally Around Responses to Climate Change, Housing Market Volatility
The Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) wrapped up one of its best attended annual Congresses ever last week in Austin, where work on solutions to climate change, household gasoline dependency, and troubled real estate markets kept nearly 1500 attendees engaged for three and a half days (and evenings). By the time the event concluded, the part played by walkable, mixed-use urban development in reducing carbon emissions and in providing long-term value amid volatile real estate markets had come into clearer focus, as did plans for CNU to coordinate and advance these solutions.
Additional Congress Notes
Video, audio, and slideshows from presentations are being added daily to our online Presentation Library as we continue to sort through materials from CNU XVI. Watch the website and your email box for more announcements about the CNU XVI archive.

3. CNU Releases New Report on Housing Affordability
CNU released the latest issue in the CNU Report series, Housing Affordability 2008, at CNU XVI in Austin earlier this month. The report advances a crucial dialogue at a time when the housing bubble and foreclosure crisis are reinforcing housing as an ongoing national problem.
Former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros' opening-night plenary address in Austin helped bring housing affordability and the innovative redevelopment strategies that he pioneered with new urbanists through the Hope VI program back to the forefront. The new publication re-examines the legacy of Hope VI — as well as the criticisms from the political right that led the Bush Administration to slash the program's funding. Like the CNU-initiated housing summit in 2005 that inspired it, the publication features prominent voices from across the political spectrum and across the world of New Urbanism: Cisneros, Ray Gindroz, Renee Glover, Dan Solomon, John Norquist, Emily Talen, Howard Husock, David Riemer, Shelley Poticha, Steve Mouzon, and Richard Green.
The report affirms the value of walkable traditional neighborhoods in accommodating a variety of affordable housing types and explores other policy solutions, many building on the lessons of Hope VI. Download the report, read it, and consider sharing it with those who are active on housing issues in your community.
4. New Jersey Joins CNU's Growing List of Chapters

7. Street Smart: Streetcars and Cities in the 21st Century, May 22 in LA
Imagine a public-private partnership that leverages tremendous value for property owners and local businesses, helps market new high-rise residential development, mixed-use and a "green" lifestyle, and helps achieve public goals like affordability, sustainability, parks, and high-quality public spaces. Streetcars can be the catalyst for these goals -- in downtowns and in urban and suburban neighborhoods.
The spectacular success of the Portland streetcar has revolutionized the way cities think about transit and development by stimulating $3.5 billion in investment in two new neighborhoods near Portland's downtown. The brand new Seattle streetcar is having similar success in South Lake Union -- where property owners put up half the cost of streetcar construction. San Francisco's F-Line streetcar has played an important role in the rebirth of the Embarcadero as a walkable, transit-oriented neighborhood since the freeway was taken down. And streetcars have promoted economic development and investment in walkable, higher-density, mixed-use neighborhoods in communities as diverse as Kenosha, Wis., Tampa, and Little Rock.
Streetcars are a boon for pedestrians and streetlife, link disparate places into "someplace," connect to regional transit systems and promote ridership, and create sustainable communities where it's possible to live without a car. Streetcars are cheaper than other rail transit (affordable even for small cities), fit easily into built environments, they're energy efficient, and they are strong and proven economic development engines for revitalizing neighborhoods.
Hear about the success of the most robust new streetcar systems at the last of four national workshops, hosted by the national nonprofit Reconnecting America and the Seaside Institute, the American Public Transportation Association, national Community Streetcar Coalition, PB, and other national and local sponsors. Speakers from around the country will talk about the political and funding strategies that are getting new streetcar systems built. The cost of the full-day workshop is $75, at the historic Los Angeles Theatre on Broadway in downtown.

Congress for the New Urbanism


text:
The Federal Government has said it is exploring the possibility of collaborating with India and Indonesia on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance mass literacy delivery among women, girls and the marginalised rural population.
The Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa'i, said this while speaking at the opening session of the ninth E-9 Ministerial Review in New Delhi, India, recently where she added that Nigeria was adopting an integrated approach to mass literacy.
According to a statement made available to THISDAY by the minister's media aide, Mr. Aliyu Othman, Nigeria and three other E- 9 countries have adopted clear cut strategies for the intervention.
"In the case of India, literacy programme focuses on rural women, Egypt adopted national campaign to fight illiteracy, Mexico focuses on learning needs of illiterate indigenous groups and in Nigeria, model centres were built mainly for girls as well as the development of primers in 22 minority languages," Rufa'i said.
She harped on the need for constant monitoring of the learning centres and delivery of materials to the centers to make the measures taken to be effective.
The minister also advocated for mass literacy models to be linked to employment generation and vocational skills acquisition at the centres.
Rufa'i urged E-9 countries to harness additional resources from development partners such as the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) of the United Nations, so that through such efforts the mission of mass literacy will be achieved.
Meanwhile the World Bank is discussing with stakeholders in the nation's education sector in a bid to establish centres of excellence in some universities in the country as part of its mandate on the continent.
The Managing Director of the Bank in Nigeria, Mr. Andreas Blom, said this at a consultative forum organised by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in Abuja recently.
According to a statement issued by the NUC, yesterday, Blom added that the bank wanted to learn from the universities, to develop the project design, and also to hear from the universities on how the project might benefit them.
The Executive Secretary of the NUC, Prof. Julius Okojie, advised that the CoEx must be relevant to the needs of the country, if their objectives were to be achieved.
Okojie added that the relevant human and materials resources must be provided to sustain the centre.

1 (16 ounce) package

1 (6 ounce) can
1 (6 ounce) can
small shrimp, drained
1/4 cup
chopped onion
green bell pepper, chopped
3/4 cup
chopped celery
1 pinch
garlic salt
4 tablespoons
Catalina salad dressing
1 1/2 tablespoons
sweet pickle relish
3 tablespoons
Excellent! I used fresh boiled/peeled shrimp and left out the tuna, and substituted a combination of rotini, penne, and gemelli pasta for the macaroni. I also left out the sweet relish because I didn't have any, and added some halved, grape tomatoes. The key is the Catalina dressing... compliments the taste of the shrimp. I cut back on the mayo, and marinated the shrimp in a red wine vinaigrette... I wanted more of a "shrimp cocktail" type flavor than creamy. Again, the Catalina was the key... very good.
I was hoping for a better tasting salad. I believe the catalina gave it a little to much sweetness, and I kept thinking that there was something missing, however I could never put my finger on it. My daughter suggested making it again but using only the shrimp, so I may try that and cutting down on the catalina, but if that doesn't work, I won't try it again.

After making only half the recipe, which I frequently do to see if I am going to like it, I determined it needed more dressing, I would say twice as much. That made it tastier. The dressing is similar in taste to a tangy thousand island. My husband really liked this and I did too. Macaroni really dilutes or absorbs a lot, so I would double the amount of dressing if you want more flavor. Someone mentioned canned shrimp tasting funny. I have read you should soak them in ice water, then drain well.
Very nice change of pace from the usual pasta salad! I thawed some frozen salad shrimp & used those instead of canned & I opened up my last jar of Texas Christmas Pickles (from this site)& gave them a chop & used that instead of the sweet pickle relish. The pickles are sweet & spicy & they worked perfectly. I also used fresh garlic instead of salt. Who knew that catalina dressing, mayo (I used lite) & sweet pickle relish would make such a tasty dressing for pasta?
Good, but I wish I had used fresh shrimp instead of the canned - I've never used them before, and I thought they tasted a bit strange. Really liked the Catalina salad dressing, though. I would make this again. Thanks, Holly!
This was a hit to all who tried it. I made it without the shrimp but it was still loved and I will doing this from now on when I need to make a salad!
A good, different kind of macaroni salad. It has sort of a thousand island taste with the dressing that you make. I did not add the shrimp as I don't care for it. This does have good flavor and I will make it again. Great salad to pack in lunches. Thanks Marbalet.
We really enjoyed this recipe. I used only tuna in mine, and also used extra dressing as suggested. Also I am a salt and pepper person so of course I had to add those too. It was a recipe I would make again.

Kim Bartholomew Receives ScrumMaster Certification
Agile development is a group of methodologies that work well for projects where the requirements are not completely known or understood at the beginning of the project. Scrum is an Agile method where project teams are self-organized and the team delivers usable software at the end of each cycle known as a sprint. A ScrumMaster is not a project manager, but a member of the team responsible for making sure the process followed is refined over time and any things that may hinder the team are resolved.
Kim Bartholomew completed a ScrumMaster workshop offered by the ASPE-SDLC Training in August. She then passed the exam to become a Certified ScrumMaster.
Dr. C. Paul Morrey, an assistant professor in the Information Systems and Technology Department, has recently had three papers accepted for publication. Working with fellow researchers at the Structural Analysis of Biomedical Ontologies Center (SABOC) several aspects of the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) were explored. The UMLS is an integration of most of the important electronic vocabularies used in medicine and biology and is curated by the US National Library of Medicine. These vocabularies are the foundation of such applications as electronic health records, natural language processing, and abstraction networks.

Damn unrelenting ache in my soul
My constant companion
Because of you,
I can't face being exposed beyond the shadows
New shreds are rent
From my battle-scarred heart
Old pain forced down deeper.
I am the walking wounded.
Linking up with
prompt: a literary apostrophe, in 33 words. Definition of a literary apostrophe: "A figure of speech in which some absent or nonexistent person or thing is addressed as if present and capable of understanding."
Author's Note: These words are written on behalf of another, in an attempt to accurately express how years of pain and anguish, and repeated validations of reasons to fear and not trust others can keep someone from the connection they desperately want. In time, I hope he has healed, and has found solace, respite, comfort, and security.

It's that time of year again...cold season! And if you are like me, you need to have a couple of really wonderful books set aside to get you through those sick days. One I always find soothing is The Princess Bride by William Goldman. Maybe it is because it is set up as a grandfather reading to his grandson when he is sick. Or maybe it is because the humor always cheers me up, or the fact I know love will win out in the end.
What are your comfort books? And what is it that keeps you coming back?

"The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings"- as Terry said, they're old friends now. That being said, it's also the one book/series I really wish I could read again for the first time.

POISONS released by dying astrocytes cells that normally nourish nerve cells and detoxify the braincould solve the mystery of AIDS dementia.
One in five people with AIDS eventually develops dementia. The mystery is that HIV does not appear to infect nerve cells. Until now, the leading theory has been that AIDS dementia is due to the virus infecting microglia, a type of immune cell found only in the brain, which can produce toxic biochemicals such as quinolinic acid.
But a research team from Flinders University in Bedford Park, South Australia, and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore recently discovered that HIV can also infect astrocytes, although it cannot multiply in them. The researchers wondered if this seemingly passive infection might still contribute to dementia.
They studied four brains from healthy people who had died in accidents, and 18 brains from people who had died from AIDS. The AIDS patients were divided ...

THE simmering border tension between Namibia and Botswana has intensified over the past weeks following the shooting of two Namibians by the Botswana Defence Force (BDF) for allegedly poaching in the Chobe National Park on July 17.
In order to prevent a diplomatic brawl and to save both countries from an international embarrassment, the two governments have decided to launch a joint investigation into the incident to allay fears that the shooting was a deliberate act of violence against the Namibian nationals.
Shooting incidents of this nature by the BDF are nothing new, and date back as far as October 1984 when Botswana soldiers fired on a South African Defence Force (SADF) unit in a boat in the southern channel at Kasikili Island. This incident precipitated the Kasikili-Sedudu dispute which landed in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague 12 years later.
Several shooting incidents involving the BDF have occurred since then, even after Namibia's independence, and poaching is blamed.
The last straw for the Namibian government was the killing of Richard Munguni Siyauya (36) and Bryana Nyambe Nyambe (age unknown), residents of Nakabolelwa village in the Ngoma area of the Caprivi Region, after they were allegedly found poaching in the Chobe National Park on July 17.
Nyambe was found to have a bullet wound to his head, and according to residents of the area this indicated that there was an intention to shoot to kill.
Botswana's High Commissioner to Namibia, Gobopang Duke Lefhoko, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on August 7 to explain the circumstances surrounding the shooting incident.
Lefhoko informed the ministry that the Botswana and Namibian police were jointly investigating the incident.
A postmortem of Nyambe was done in Windhoek, while Siyauya, whose body was found on the Botswana side of the border, was autopsied in that country.
According to Police Chief Sebastian Ndeitunga, a Namibian police officer was present at the postmortem held in Botswana but was not allowed to take photos of the body.
On Monday the Namibian team and their Botswana counterparts should have met again to continue with the investigation, but according to Ndeitunga the Botswana police went to Gaborone instead.
"I sense some reluctancy on the side of the Botswana police to cooperate with us in the investigation, which I do not like," Ndeitunga told The Namibian.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged the Botswana authorities to cooperate fully with the Namibian police as they carry out the joint investigation.
"The ministry underscored that while the two countries do not condone poaching, it is important that both sides exercise maximum restraint to avoid loss of lives and to ensure that the culprits are arrested and brought to justice," Foreign Affairs Ministry Permanent Secretary Veiccoh Nghiwete said in a press release.

Office of Public Affairs Info for Media
Release Date: July 9, 2010
Contact: Julie Henry, 919-707-5053
RALEIGH — During the height of summer and mosquito season, bats flying through the night sky are typically a welcome sight. But when bats venture indoors, it may be a different story. While the insect-eating mammals are very important to maintaining ecosystems worldwide, they also can transmit rabies and respiratory disease to humans. The North Carolina Division of Public Health suggests taking precautions to protect yourself and your family:
If you awaken to find a bat in your room, tent or cabin, do not release it. Instead, contact your local animal control to have it captured and tested for rabies.
Seek medical advice immediately. Bat bites can be difficult to detect and may not cause a person to wake from a sound sleep. If you have had any contact at all with a bat, even if you do not think you have been bitten, you must still talk with a physician. You may have been exposed to rabies.
If you know you have been bitten, thoroughly wash the wound with soap and water before seeing a doctor.
Never handle a bat with your bare hands. If you need to capture it before animal control arrives, follow safety guidelines as outlined in by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). See a video demonstration.
If bat or bird droppings have caused accumulations in an attic for example, care should be taken to avoid stirring up and breathing the dust. Fungal spores in the droppings may cause disease when inhaled by some people. More information from the CDC.
If you have bats roosting in an unoccupied portion of your home during the summer months, you may be advised to allow them to remain for a short time as long as the bats can be excluded from living areas. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) recommends that exclusion of bats from the entire structure (attics, crawl spaces, etc.) not be performed from May 1 through August 1 because breeding colonies may be present. Removing bats during this time may compound the risk to your health because dead pups unable to fly will remain in walls and attics and mother bats will try to create new entry points to reach them. Removal, or exclusion, may also be illegal if it results in the death of young bats, some of which may be federally protected under the Endangered Species Act.
To prevent bats from entering your home, examine your home carefully and seal openings in doors, windows, attics and chimneys that may allow bats access to your living spaces. You may also wish to consult with a trained and licensed Wildlife Damage Control Agent for assistance. A county-by-county listing is available.

BINDURA Nickel Corporation says it will require fresh capital injection of US$20 million in its second year after resuming operations. The firm has been under care and maintenance since 2008, after succumbing to volatile metal prices on global markets and crippling economic challenges in Zimbabwe.
BNC is set to resume production early next year after raising US$21 million through a rights issue.
The rights issue funding would be used to restart operations at Trojan Mine, which will require a staff complement of 990, down from the previous level of 2 016.
But fund-raising and the restart were premised on condition that BNC settles its liabilities with workers and creditors, concluded through the issue of US$11,5 million private placement of BNC shares.
"Additional funding of approximately US$20 million will be required in the second year after the rights issue and private placement. This will be secured through debt finance and the process has started.
"The directors are confident that there will be a successful outcome," said chairman Mr Kalaa Mpinga.
He said directors were confident that the rights offer proceeds would be sufficient to carry the nickel producer through the 12 months after the restart.
In anticipation of the restart programme, BNC undertook works aimed at overhauling key engineering and operational infrastructure, including pumping arrangements, ventilation fans and shaft guides.
These surface works also saw the re-engineering of the waste handling system together with the major overhaul of surface secondary and tertiary crushers.
Thus far the preparatory work for the restart of operations has included limited underground development, commissioning of LHD loaders, rigs, associated mining as well as key engineering services.
BNC said that the ore and waste hoisted to the surface has enabled successful hot commissioning of surface waste conveyors and ore crushing facilities.
Furthermore, after the rights issue and private placement, a programme to refurbish mills began, allowing for the restart of operations in the first quarter of next year when the first concentrate will be sold. The recapitalisation and preparatory work has not included its other nickel mine, Shangani, and its smelter and refinery plant.
But Africa's only integrated nickel mine has said nickel prices would remain under pressure in the near future due to excess stockpiles in Chinese ports and a number of nickel projects set to come on line this year.
BNC, which has not undertaken nickel production since going into care and maintenance in 2008, reported US$900 000 revenue and US$7,8 million after tax loss in the six months to September 30 2012.
The company said current liabilities decreased to US$25,2 million from US$39,4 million in the comparative period last year due to reduction in trade creditors and the reclassification of a US$8,5 million short-term debt into long term.

Just for the record, Kyoto Kid is not the only person to have stability problems with DS3A in 32 bit environments. Daz3D was aware of them, and there were countless posts in the old forums and promises to fix not just stability issues, but other features in DS3A that never worked properly, as well as to finish a complete manual for the customers. All of these were abandoned when Daz went to version 4, and everyone who complained was jumped on ande accused of Daz-Bashing, and met with constant replies like "I'm not having those problems, so it must be YOUR computer".
Nice to see it's continuing.
Ummm… they DID fix those problems. They just called it DS4.
Which, in turn, introduced a new set of problems.
Such is the nature of software.

I was introduced to this pencil after receiving a full-size one in my monthly box. I have never found an eyebrow liner that I liked as much. It goes on very natural and stays in place even with my very oily skin. I also love it that you never need to sharpen it. This is my second re-order.5
One of my biggest problems with pencil eyeliners is that most come off before the day is done. I have used so many, even ones that claimed to be the best. This is the only one that manages to stay on so far, all day long! And for that I love it.5

Dear A.A,
My boyfriend is an injecting drug user. I do not have much experience of addiction and drug addicts, and even though we've been together for over eighteen months I am still very confused over what is the truth. My boyfriend acts very open about his problem and tries to guide me on what is happening but I often feel like he's giving me disinformation so as it's easier for him to cover up his signs of use. One of the main things is injecting. He frequently pulls his shirt off and throws his arms in my face, telling me to inspect them as some kind of proof that he is not using. And it's true, I can't see any mark or sore or bruise on his arms, but the thing is I KNOW he has used! I CAN TELL by his eyes, his talk, even his eating habits! But his arms are clean and then he makes me feel all guilty for accusing him of using and even says that I'm 'paranoid' and that I've even put the idea of using in his head now. Please, where else can an addict inject (apart from the arms)? Is there any place someone can inject which leaves no trace? [Katerline]
A.A Says:
Hey Katerline, it seems your boyfriend is using some very common behavioural traits to try to play down his addiction. That's not any kind of criticism as I've done exactly the same myself and it's often necessary if the life is going to be even a little tranquil. I guess by you 'inspecting' his arms and wanting to inspect other parts of his body that he's not so much 'putting his arms in your face' as he is finally giving in to your relentless questions (maybe moods) concerning his drug use until he finally offers up his body for inspection so as he can get some peace (possibly you too). I don't think you're paranoid. If you know the signs and you're sure then you have to believe what your eyes tell you and not what someone tries to convince you of. Concerning injecting, addicts can inject anywhere there is a vein... no matter how small. Have a look over your own body and count all the places you spot veins – they are all potential shooting areas. Personally I've shot in just about every place you can get a needle: arms, hands, front of fingers, back of fingers, palm, chest, abdomen, legs, behind the knees, along the shin bone, the calf (both sides), the ankle, the forefoot, my toes, the inner underside of my foot, my forehead, shoulders, wrists... wherever there's a vein, there's a shot. One of the great myths of injecting is that it marks the body. Yes, it will if you continuously shoot in the same places (or with older addicts like me who find it hard getting any vein) but with new fresh veins there are often no marks left, and many times there's not even blood from the injection site. Needles are very very fine... ten times smaller than a sowing needle. With that in mind, you can imagine how tiny the pin prick is. However, some people scar very easy and terribly. I've never scarred much, and apart from a track mark running down the middle of both hands, you'd be hard pressed to find any tracks on my arms. So yes, there are many places one can inject and leave no obvious mark as to what it is.
For further info read this graphic and detailed account of the injecting process: The Pain of Painkilling

He can inject ANYWHERE he can hit a vein with a needle a few examples I have heard of between the toes, and tops of feet and also the veins below he pant line. and he doesn't have to be injecting! He could be smoking it too!! Best of luck with everything and full body search anywhere you see a vein on your body you know where to check! You can even google for a model image of the veins in the body. You'd be amazed to see where there are veins!Here's a link I hope will help ya: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Places_in_body_to_shoot_heroin ,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_saphenous_vein , http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/400481-How-do-you-shoot-between-toes , http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Places_in_body_to_shoot_heroin, and... http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/archive/index.php/t-524832.html .... well best of luck and I hope he isn't lying BUT tell him you're inspecting head to toes cause the groin muscle has become popular!
If you shoot up on your wrist area will it bruise?
Repeated use of an injection site will cause bruising and then scarring....even in the prick.
How do u shoot in ur wrist without it bursting?
Like, I just shot in my wrist an when I pulled back, I was in.. But when I pushed in, it bubbled up an effin hurt!! So I stopped an pulled back again to see wtf happened an I was still in the vein... So I'm really confused, did my vein just burst or did i go thru the vein?? Plz help so I know what to do to fix this!! <3
I shoot in my breasts. nobody ever checks there
has he evar tried to get a prescription for suboxone?
My gf was a heroin junkie for years until finally she got clean and went on a med new to the medical field called suboxone... very helpful
Are you people totally insane ? I have not read too much of this stuff because my young son is now dead at age 23. One more time I guess which was his last. 2 OD's Jan. - Feb. Dead by March. Pain and heartbreak for an older Mom like me...Not even describable
My boyfriend is a heroin user but he said he snort it and when he do his vines pop out. So my ? Is that a signs of shooting up.

27 year old man | Lithia Springs, GA, USA | Seeking women 18-27 within 150 miles of Carrollton, GA
I am kind, yet shy. I am creative. I like to...
I am kind, yet shy. I am creative. I like to build things. I'm a traditionalist. I consider myself as being a realist, but also as a loving, empathetic, and a affectionate man. I am an open-minded person. I have been told that I am a good listener. My political view is more so Libertarian. I am fervently Anti-Communist, and I have done extensive research on the subject, and I prefer that the woman I go out with is the same way, or at the VERY LEAST takes an interest in it. It would be nice if she could take an interest in social issues also. I am a Southern Gentleman. I have ideas of wanting to start multiple businesses. I like to do 'my own thing.' Nobody is prefect. I don't like girls that hold unrealistic standards. I HATE hypocrites. I place a heavy emphasis on how people treat me. I like to think that everyone follows the Golden Rule, and I hold others aka: strangers to this standard, but unfortunately not a lot of people do this nowadays. It use to be that honesty was a worthy virtue, now its based on how well you can bullshit and deceive others. I'm a pretty deep person if you haven't figured out by now. I like researching discoveries in archeology and ancient civilizations. I like mythology. I'm a rouge intellectual. The kind of girl that I want or need is that when ever she smiles-I cant help but to smile. Whenever she laughs-I cant help but laugh. Whenever she is excited-I just get excited! Basically, a woman that can brighten up my day. I think that's true love. When ever I see her I would want to be with her everyday. Sex can come and go, but it doesn't mean anything if you cant BE with somebody. Physical attractiveness is mostly instinctual, thus I believe in love at first sight. I'm a sucker for a woman that is overly affectionate, and I am not afraid of one that likes to be in control. I like a woman with a sexy voice. I'm partial to brunettes. Like redheads. I would love a girl who likes to experiment and that is open to try new things. Honesty is very important to me. I think the most striking feature about a woman is her voice, then comes her eyes and hair. My picture is pretty old, but I haven't changed that much..... I like all kinds of food. I LOVE Europe, Australia, Scotland and Antarctica for some reason. Given the current state of the country I sometimes think about leaving the U.S. and wanting to go live some where else haphazardly. I really hate what America has become, I am VERY old-school in my thinking and my principles when it comes to politics, and social issues, and I encounter almost nobody that is even similar to me. It seems to me that with every generation America gets worse, and I am just one man, trying to focus on being happy and not so much on "surviving." I will go to where the happiness is. I believe in ACTUAL kindness that's driven to a purpose that builds upon itself, and the product being more kindness. Its the type of kindness that makes you feel important and as a necessary or vital part of society. Its not the kindness that is just for kicks.... I BELIEVE in kindness, not the kind that puts you at ease in order to, "get along with others" because people really don't get along with each other, or for the reason to simply receive benefits for yourself. I guess you have to BELIEVE in kindness and not question it, in order to be selfless in giving it towards others. And I guess the people you are kind to also have to BELIEVE in it too, and not question it in order for "it" (being kind) to be worth it. There is no-doubt in being kind to others. I think the world is a very cruel and deceitful place, but I just try to keep on keepin' on, and at least try to mind my own business.

Kicking off the Detroit show's debuts was a local car they want to tackle the world's best. The Cadillac ATS, its maker earnestly believes, will finally get the Americans on level terms with the German big three premium makers. It's is a direct rival to the 3-series, C-class and A4, at least at home in the USA.
Though it's been a repeated failure in the UK, Cadillac is a serious player in the US, outselling BMW whenever the two field direct rivals. But Cadillac hasn't had a small saloon, and it knows that's an aching omission. It's where the majority of buyers come into a brand, and then go on to trade up through the range.
To show how much this car matters to Caddy, the ATS isn't just a cut down version of the bigger CTS. Even though the CTS is a perfectly decent mid-sizer, it would have sired an overweight small car. And don't imagine either that the ATS is a poshed-up version of the FWD Vauxhall Insignia, GM's global platform for cars this size.
Instead it rides on an all-new architecture, primarily rear-drive, though 4WD will be optional.
See more pictures of the new Cadillac ATS
The lead engine is a 2.0 turbo four that kicks out 270bhp, kicking sand in the face of even BMW's brand-new 245bhp 328i engine. Just to prove it's aimed at people who don't just waft down the freeway all day, Cadillac even specced a new six-speed manual box as an alternative to the auto that everyone in the US will surely buy, won't they?
There's magnetic-fluid adaptive dampers for the suspension. The body is full of fancy light materials, so the base weight undercuts the C-classes and 3-series of this world.
There are no real instruments and few buttons. It's all reconfigurable displays, and you do most of the switching by touching and sliding your finger on the tablet-style centre screen.
Cadillac spent an inordinate proportion of the launch ceremony gassing on about how many development laps it did at the Nurburgring. Translation: 'We've made actual BMW rival, honest, not just a car for bimbling around Florida retirement communities.'
They also kept on saying it was globally competitive, and that right-hand-drive and a diesel engine were in the plan. But on closer questioning, it turns out they mean they have arranged it so there's no technical reason they can't build RHD. They don't actually have any firm plans to get on and do so.
So to us Brits at least, it remains a transatlantic-holiday curio, rather than a serious addition to petrolhead middle-managers' company car lists. Your thoughts?

Pack Softball Rallies for 8-6 Win at Syracuse
April 6, 2014
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The NC State softball team rallied to score four runs in the top of the seventh to register an 8-6 comeback win against the Syracuse Orange in game one of a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon.
"I'm really proud of our team and the way they battled back," said head coach Shawn Rychcik. "We got down, but fought back to tie it up and take the lead. We were able to put four runs on the board in the top of the seventh after several good at-bats. I was real happy that we took care of business in the bottom of the inning to get the win."
Trailing 5-4 heading to its last at-bat of the game, the Wolfpack (22-10, 11-4 ACC) plated four runs in the seventh to take the lead, 8-5. Sophomore Hanna Sommer smashed the first pitch she saw in her at-bat over the fence in left center for a two-run homer, after freshman Molly Hutchison walked earlier in the frame.
Two batters later, senior Leah Jones hit her second home run of the game and fifth of the season on an 0-1 pitch to stretch the advantage to 7-5. After a couple singles, senior Chelsea Tate lined an RBI single through the left side to score Albertson.
"It was nice to get on the field and play," Jones said. "I was just trying to hit the ball hard to help the team and I got some pitches that I could handle and I hit them well."
Sophomore Lana Van Dyken ignited the Wolfpack offense in the top of the third with a leadoff double to deep center field. After Syracuse retired the next two hitters in order, senior Kirsty Grant deposited an RBI double to left center scoring Van Dyken from second as the Pack knotted the score at one.
State took a 3-1 lead in the top of the fourth after Jones smashed a two-run homer to left center, scoring Hayley Stowe from first base.
"Leah [Jones] had a great day at the plate," Rychcik added. "She swung the bat really well and just had a really solid day and we need that from our seniors."
Jones drove in her third run of the contest on a two out single to center field plating Hannah Yeager, who pinch ran for Molly Hutchison after she was hit-by-pitch, from second base.
Syracuse's Julie Wambold put her team on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second with a solo homer to center field. The Orange added four runs to its total in the bottom half of the fifth inning to take a 5-4 lead, thanks in large part to a double to deep center field by Nicole Lundstrom, scoring runners from second and third base.
Junior Emily Weiman (19-8) pitched all seven innings of the contest to earn the win, allowing six runs on eight hits and striking out eight. It was her 20th complete game of the year.
At the plate, Jones paced the squad with a 3-for-4 performance highlighted by two home runs and four runs batted in (RBI). Van Dyken was 2-for-3, while Albertson, Davis, Grant, Sommer and Tate each had one hit.

Drugs don't work in patients who don't take them – Dr. C. Everett Koop
Medication Reminder
Make sure not another dose is missed by comfortably relying on the friendly reminders that not only reminds you on multiple levels when it is time to take medication, but also notifies caregivers of all activities.
Pill Organizer
Organize pills easily by either using the easy-to-use pre-filled tray (by having either your caregiver or yourself fill up the correct medication) or by manually lifting the pill dispenser lid to refill. Ensuring the correct medications are placed in the respective compartment is a vital step in medication adherence.
The Real Drug Problem: Forgetting to Take Them – Wall Street Journal
Medication Management
Manage your medication as instructed by your pharmacist and as best fitted to ensure your health by following a consistent and flawless medication regimen. MedMinder's pill dispenser assists users in a routinely medication schedule, while providing the comfort to the user and his/her family members. Be independent again!
Weekly Pill Dispenser
Depending on how often you dose, MedMinder's medication dispenser can be set to accommodate from 1 to 4 weeks worth of medication. Maya can be used as a weekly pill dispenser as well as half or a full month pill dispenser.
Non-compliance is the "other drug problem" – The New York Times
Did you know?
In a recent poll of U.S. individuals 65 years old and older who use medications, researchers found that 51% take at least five different prescription drugs regularly, and one in four take between 10 and 19 pills each day. 57% of those polled admit that they forget to take their medications. Among those using five or more medications, 63% say they forget doses, compared to 51% among those who take fewer medicines.
Medication non-compliance, the failure to take drugs on time in the dosages prescribed, is as dangerous and costly as many illnesses. Despite the fact that medications can save or extend lives, the average patient fails to follow her/his pill prescription half the time. Studies have shown that non-compliance causes 125,000 deaths annually in the US, leads to up to 25% of hospital and nursing home admissions, and is becoming an international epidemic.
MedMinder Systems Inc. provides services that simplify medication management and improve medication adherence.
Our company's founders recognized that existing products — from plastic organizers to smart pill boxes — do not offer a comprehensive, effective solution for non-adherence. So we set out to create an easy-to-use, affordable system that offers:
- Patient reminders that are provided only if the medications are not taken on time (e.g. lights, beeps, phone alerts, emails, text messages)
- Remote monitoring
- Immediate notifications to caregivers
- Data collection (Rich reports of all activities)
- Two easy (re)filling options include manual & a pre-filled tray

Thank you and goodbye!
Following the devastating epidemic of 1996–1997 (more than 250,000 cases of disease and over 25,000 deaths), African leaders called for the development of a vaccine that would eliminate, once and for all, group A meningitis epidemics in Africa.
MenAfriVac® (Serum Institute of India Ltd.), a tailor-made vaccine for Africa, was developed and licensed in record time and introduced at large scale in meningitis-belt countries in 2010. Since then, more than 217 million people in 15 countries have received the vaccine.
''There is no point in having a vaccine if you cannot roll it out. This is a story for donors, who increasingly need to know that the money which is going into developing countries is actually having an impact, and this is a very good example of something which has a clear and measurable impact."
Helen Evans, interim chief executive officer, GAVI, Kyodo News, 7 December 2010.

Facebook claims trademark over 'book' in latest user agreement update
March 24, 2012 | 6:30 pm
By Chris Meadows
Did you know that Facebook is claiming a trademark over the word "book"? It has even revised its user agreement to add "book" to the list of trademarks users agree, by accessing the site, not to use without Facebook's written permission.
This springs from a series of trademark lawsuits or complaints that Facebook has been launching against various other sites that name themselves "(something)book", such as Teachbook, Lamebook, and Placebook. (Because, clearly, nothing else was ever called "(something)book" before Facebook.)
The funny thing is, "book" isn't actually even trademarked to Facebook in the US. (It's pending in Europe, but is opposed due to likelihood of confusion so may not go through.) Even if it was, of course, the trademark would only apply in a social media context—it wouldn't mean that Facebook could sue businesses for calling themselves "bookstores", for example. But it sure does sound silly, doesn't it?

A literary precedent for the blog: the feuilleton
I don't see how that could possibly be enforceable. Or legal.
this is why the world is falling apart, someone keeps trying to do stupid stuff, so FACEBOOK, whats the matter you don't get enough money as it is, and who is going to collect on something everyone already says you idiots………you do realize that you are no longer the only game in town, we all could stop using your stuff altogether…………..
You can't trademark a word in common usage.
Apple's Powerbook was around long before Facebook, and Apple has more lawyers than they do and loves lawsuits so they better watch who they threaten with lawsuits on this one.
As I uderstand it, Facebook, the computer program, was inspired by facebook, the physical objects, that had been in use for many years at an American university. (Was it Harvard?)
So perhaps the University in question could sue Facebook, the computer software company, for a couple of billon dollars for appropriating the basic concept and the name.

East Allen County Schools board voted unanimously Tuesday night to put its New Haven and Harding construction projects to a referendum vote on the May ballot.
Business Manager Kirby Stahly said the next steps will be to take the resolution to the Allen County Election Board and the Voter Registration Office to have a discussion about how to proceed.
Because of declining enrollment and years of unbalanced budgets, the district is undergoing a redesign process, including closing and consolidating schools. As part of its redesign, the district is creating five feeder systems in its five distinct communities.
Leo will stay the same, while construction projects are scheduled to create K-12 campuses at the current sites of Woodlan and Heritage junior-senior high schools.
These projects, both under $12 million, are currently in different stages of the remonstrance process, meaning the district and community members are gathering signatures to either move forward or defeat these projects.
The last day to turn in signatures for the Woodlan project remonstrance is Feb. 12.
Instead of allowing the New Haven and Harding area projects to enter the same remonstrance process, the board decided to put the question on the ballot as a referendum for a communitywide vote.
State law allows a referendum because of the project's larger price tag.
The almost $89 million project includes a renovated New Haven Intermediate School at the current site of Park Hill Learning Center, additions at New Haven High School to accommodate seventh- and eighth-graders and renovations at the former Harding High School to create East Allen University.
If the Woodlan, Heritage, New Haven and East Allen University projects move forward, a homeowner's taxes on a home with a $100,000 assessed value will increase $83 per year.

DETROIT (AP) -A Detroit-area university is defending the suspension of a 57-year-old student, saying his lustful writings about a teacher violated the school's policy against harassment and don't deserve First Amendment protection.
Read: Joseph Corlett's Hot for Teacher essay
Oakland University in Auburn Hills acknowledged that Joseph Corlett got good marks for earlier work with sexual themes. But he was booted in 2012 when Corlett turned to his attention to writing instructor Pamela Mitzelfeld, whom he compared to the sultry starlet Ginger from the 1960s TV series "Gilligan's Island."
Corlett's lawsuit in federal court in Detroit seeks more than $2 million for mental anguish and the embarrassment of being removed from Oakland.
"Corlett's case is not even a close one," the university said in a recent court filing, its first formal response since the lawsuit was filed in March.
"Serious educational concerns are clearly triggered when a student fails to recognize the monumental inappropriateness of directing a missive toward his instructor that describes her as 'stacked,' depicts her as the object of his sexual urges, compares her with an oversexed caricature from a television sitcom, and casts to the wind his worries over his wife's reaction to all of this," attorney Leonard Niehoff wrote.
Oakland University is asking U.S. District Judge Patrick Duggan to dismiss the case.
Corlett, who now lives in Sarasota, Florida, is a home builder who pursued a college degree because of the weak economy. He enrolled full-time in 2011 after earning an associate degree from a community college.
His troubles began when he submitted a journal in a writing class titled "Hot For Teacher," the name of a song by the rock band Van Halen. In his writings, he feared being distracted by his attraction for Mitzelfeld and said, "I'll never learn a thing." He wrote that another teacher who was pregnant was "hot, and not just from baking the bun in her oven."
In an interview earlier this year, Corlett said students in the English 380 class were told to write honestly and that no topic was off limits. His attorney has until Friday to file a response to the university's request that the lawsuit be dismissed.
Corlett's suspension requires him to undergo sensitivity counseling if he ever wants to return as a student.
