MILPITAS, Calif. (PRWEB) July 16, 2013
Dialogic Inc. (OTCQB:DLGC), the Network Fuel™ company, today announced its deployment by value-added telecom operator Lleida.net to revitalize the company's SMS connectivity to other operators. Dialogic helped the Spain-based SMS communications pioneer boost texting quality and achieve visibility into network performance, resulting in new business deals, higher subscriber satisfaction rates and significant reductions in operational expenses.
Lleida.net's mission was to broaden its ability to connect with carriers. To achieve that, the company chose the Dialogic® DSI SS7G41 Signaling Server for SMS and the ability to transition to Diameter signaling for future LTE deployments. After deployment, Lleida.net experienced improved connection efficiency between other carriers and gained greater visibility into service performance. Dialogic also played a critical role in providing Lleida.net with training services to expand its expertise with SS7. Within three months of deploying the Dialogic signaling server, Lleida.net closed nearly 200 operator peering agreements.
"Dialogic helped us reach more destinations, close more peering agreements and improve the quality of services we deliver to customers," said Sisco Sapena, CEO of Lleida.net. "Dialogic's technology experts increased our knowledge to maximize the benefits of our SS7 interconnections. The comprehensive capabilities of the Dialogic solution along with the training and post-sales support allowed us to rapidly deploy without expanding our operations

Comment: Re:Ad free...until they reach critical mass (Score 1) 225 225
Premium cable TV you mean? Cable was originally mostly rebroadcasts of transmissions that already had ads in it for people that couldn't get a signal.
Most media companies dream of having everyone paying a monthly fee instead of relying on ads. You have to constantly seek out people to sell ad space to and you're always at the mercy of the price of ads and seasonal changes. The usual issue is that people are totally unwilling to pay anywhere near what advertisers will pay to show them ads. Youtube's per-person income is low enough that some people will probably happily pay.

Originally written on Bush League Chronicle | Last updated 11/12/12
Who says you need good hands to be an elite receiver in the National Football League? Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace definitely disproved this logic on Monday when he hauled in a 7-yard touchdown pass between his legs during Pittsburgh's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The slippery rain no doubt had something to do with the miraculous catch, but so did luck. All in all, it's still worth six points and that's all that matters to Ben Roethlisberger and the host Steelers.Via Gifulmination.

School Notes:
- Darrow School: Hands-on Education for More Than 80 Years
- Darrow School, an independent, co-ed, boarding and day school in New Lebanon, NY, offers a comprehensive college-preparatory curriculum with a range of courses in writing and literature, history, languages, mathematics, sciences, and the arts.
- Strong critical thinking and writing skills are emphasized in all subject areas. Students learn within an atmosphere that supports the pursuit of intellectual curiosity, individual creativity, and the joy of learning.
- The School has been recognized as a pioneer in the field of "hands-on learning," and Darrow teachers use real-world topics and a dynamic approach to capture the imagination and make the subject matter come alive.
- The beautiful mountainside campus is located on the site of the historic Mt. Lebanon Shaker Village, and Darrow continues to embrace the Shaker legacy of sustainability and stewardship.
- An important feature of the academic program is its focus on environmental, social, and economic resources, and students discover the value of finding balance within one's self, the community, and global society. The National Association of Independent Schools recognized the excellence of the School's Sustainability Program in February 2005 with a Leading Edge Honoree Award for curriculum innovation.
- Darrow's small classes, averaging nine students, afford everyone the chance to participate. Because Darrow is a small boarding school, with a 4-to-1 student-teacher ratio, there is an opportunity for strong connections between students and teachers. Teachers get to know students well, and expectations are high. They spur students to do their best in classes, athletics, and co-curricular activities.
- The substantive nature and climate of Darrow School offer students a setting where their abilities can prosper, and the School's distinctive educational philosophy is suited to all learning styles. At Darrow, students reach their full potential as motivated, thriving, college-bound learners with a greater understanding of themselves and the world.
- To learn more about Darrow School, contact Betsy Strickler, Director of Admission, at 518-794-6006 or visit www.darrowschool.org.

There are many grades of chemicals that are not obvious to someone not familiar with chemistry. I list a few below.
1. Cosmetic grade - usable on human skin, can contain lots of things that do not affect humans such as halides. Not good for photography.
2. USP (US Pharmacopia) which is a grade which excludes chemicals harmful to human metabolism or otherwise untoward effects.
3. Practical - usable in most practical applications.
4. Photographic - usable with no impurities that affect photographic processing or emulsion making.
5. Analytical - so pure that nothing interferes with use in analytical procedures.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Each has an ISO standard so that individual companies or chemical compositions can be ISO certified.
Any person not a chemist would be oblivious to this all.
In photography there are 3 situations from my POV.
1. Do not care and having fun.
2. Economy and maybe don't care.
3. Highest quality.
Determining your position in these two matrices is essential to getting what YOU want in your pictures. I have said "Use what works for you" but after more than 30 years in the business, I find that variability in the end result increases from 3 > 1 in the above matrix and that photograde and higher is best. Sorry! I've done the tests. It is a 'fact' to me.
So, having a person suggest something to me says to me that he had better be an expert in the entire system and should have quantitative results. This is generally not the case. It is expressed as an 'opinion' by a self proclaimed 'expert' and I am, as I have said before, becoming less and less tolerant of these self proclaimed experts.
So sorry to interject this into what has been a 'fun' thread, but it is now on the verge of diverting good people from fact.

Storahtelling has tapped former Birthright NEXT executive Isaac Shalev to become its next executive director.
Isaac Shalev, who helped launched Birthright NEXT and served as COO to the official follow-up program for Birthright Israel, will assume his new post on Feb. 15.
Shalev succeeds Amichai Lau-Lavie, who founded Storahtelling some 13 years ago. The organization pioneered taking the narratives and traditions of Old World Jewish liturgy and adapting them into modern performance art and storytelling.
Storahtelling informs and transforms the ways modern Jews relate to their cultural legacy, ritual celebrations and spiritual heritage, using what it calls "The Maven Method," which integrates Judaism's oldest teaching tools with contemporary stagecraft and educational techniques. The organization has satellite programs in Colorado, California and Israel.
Lau-Lavie will continue working with Storahtelling as founding director, focusing solely on overseeing the organization's work training Mavens around the world.
"For everything there is a season," Lau-Lavie said in a statement announcing the hire of Shalev. "Building Storahtelling from the ground up has been a tremendous adventure. With so many talented people now on board, we are ready for bigger and better. I am proud of what we've achieved and am excited about our next chapter."

The Truth About Cast Iron Pans: 7 Myths That Need To Go Away
I'm glad to see someone standing up for the durability of cast iron. In college I went out and bought my first and only cast iron pan (and I say that not because it was bad but because I have never needed to buy another). I can definitely say that I have not always treated it well: I have always used metal utensils, used it over campfires when camping, used it on the grill, accidentally left it outside for a week, etc. After my initial seasoning, I have only needed to go through the process again once, and that was when my roommate left it soaking in the sink for two days.
To those who want to know the difference between the enameled and regular cast iron, I own and regularly use both kinds (from the basic Lodge brand on up to Le Creuset) and my regular cast iron is far and away a better non-stick surface. The enameled is great for giving things a super crisp crust that wont stick to the enamel and I am more likely to use one of those when the final dish will be baked, but there is no way you are frying an egg or anything else in there without a solid slick of oil to keep it from sticking.

Delivering Drugs to the Poor: Will the TRIPS Amendment Help?
Dutfield, Graham, American Journal of Law & Medicine
Many of the diseases and health conditions that account for a large part of the disease burden in low- and middle-income countries are far less common in high-income countries. These burdens are primarily associated with infectious diseases, reproductive health, and childhood illnesses. Just eight diseases and conditions account for 29 percent of all deaths in low- and middle-income countries: TB, HIV/AIDS, diarrheal diseases, vaccine-preventable diseases of childhood, malaria, respiratory infections, maternal conditions, and neonatal deaths.
Approximately 17.6 million people in low- and middle-income countries die each year from communicable diseases and maternal and neonatal conditions. Both the occurrence of and the death rates from such diseases and conditions are far lower in all high-income countries.1
Millions of people in developing countries die of diseases for which treatments exist that can relieve suffering and save, or at least prolong, people's lives. High-profile pandemics like HIV/ AIDS understandably attract considerable attention. Millions of people have died of this terrible disease 2.6 million in 2003 and 2.8 million in 2005, of which Sub-Saharan Africa contributed 1.9 million and 2.0 million respectively.2 As the above quote makes clear, there are a whole host of diseases that have particularly devastating impacts on the poor.
The obvious reason why treatment access is such a problem is poverty. People do not have the money to buy the drugs, and governments, even those that are not corrupt or otherwise woefully dysfunctional, lack the resources and infrastructure to get them to those who need them but cannot afford them. The pharmaceutical industry certainly prefers to blame poverty and poor governance, and rejects arguments that patent rights allow them to set high prices that keep life saving drugs out of the reach of the poor.3 Up to a point, the industry is right. But to suggest this is a sufficient explanation is to be disingenuous.
High drug prices are not of course the only factor limiting patients' access to them. Access even to very cheap drugs tends to be inadequate too. Poor people often live far away from clinics and hospitals. Also, many countries are short of medical practitioners trained to prescribe drugs to patients in the appropriate combinations and dosages. Nonetheless, high prices obviously have a profound impact on the ability of cash-strapped governments and other healthcare providing organizations to deliver drugs to the poor. National pharmaceutical markets are often highly regulated, and companies are not always free to set prices entirely as they wish. Yet companies holding patent monopolies are in a strong bargaining position for as long as they can keep out the generic competition, which potentially could drive prices downwards towards the marginal cost of making the drug in question.
Patents for inventions have their origins in Renaissance Italy. The Republic of Venice passed a patent law in 1474 whose underlying purpose was to attract "engineers" with the incentive of a 10-year monopoly right to their "invention[s]."4 The moral interest of inventors and the wider societal benefits were treated as complementary. Thus, in preventing others from building them and taking the inventor's honor away, it was believed that "more men would then apply their genius, would discover, and would build devices of great utility to our commonwealth."5 It is important to note that the public interest was also upheld by a provision allowing for government use.6
Patents are supposed to benefit society through (i) the widest possible availability of new and useful goods, services and technical information that derive from inventive activity, and (ii) the highest possible level of economic activity based on the production, circulation and further development of such goods, services and information. …

In case Texas Rangers fans forget how different their lineup is going to look when the 2013 season begins, the team's 2013 calendar is here to serve as a reminder. As you know, Texas has parted ways with several stars this offseason including Josh Hamilton, Mike Napoli and Michael Young. However, the calendar you see above was already printed before any of those transactions went down. As the one gentleman said, the calendar can now be viewed as a collector's item. Hamilton has signed a massive deal with the Angels, Napoli is heading to Boston — if they can ever work out the wording in his contract — and Young has been traded to the Phillies. Despite that, the trio still makes up Mr. May, Mr. August and Mr. September. If there are any Rangers fans out there who are unwilling to fully let go of last year's studs and want to see their faces during the 2013 season, you now have the perfect gift idea.

The menu at this tiny wine bar doesn't change much. That's not a bad thing when it comes to such small plates as creamy-sweet chicken-liver bruschetta and oiled tomatoes with chèvre—little gems that have been on the menu since day one. But a recent dinner's fried calamari and rock shrimp spent too little time in the fryer and a plate of avocado bruschetta was too sparsely seasoned. Other than that, our chief complaint is the inevitable wait for a table.

It's so funny -- there has not yet been any reason to truly believe that Google is about to come out with a phone that would compete against Apple's iPhone. In fact, it seems unlikely that Google would enter into a cut-throat hardware business so far removed from its culture and expertise. (Though stranger things have been known to happen. There is a Disney phone, after all.)
Anyway, early this morning, an Indian newspaper, Business Standard, published an anonymous-source story saying that Google is two weeks away from a "worldwide launch" of a Google Phone. Faster than you could search for pics of Cameron Diaz in a bikini (not that we ever have), media outlets around the globe picked up or elaborated on the story, including TechCrunch.
However, the Business2.com blog does a nice job debunking the whole thing as a ridiculous rumor.
The truth? Perhaps somewhere in between...

Children who have
juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are first treated
with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that
often provide relief and reduce inflammation. NSAIDs are considered the
first-line treatment for JIA. Second-line drug therapy—known interchangeably as
disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and as slow-acting antirheumatic
drugs (SAARDs)—for JIA may be recommended when a child continues to have joint
pain, swelling, or both despite rest, exercise, use of NSAIDs, and physical
DMARDs/SAARDs include methotrexate, azathioprine,
cyclosporine, etanercept, and sulfasalazine.
DMARDs/SAARDs have
several characteristics in common.
Although these medicines are often called
"disease-modifying," it has been hard to prove that they truly prevent
long-term joint damage. But they often relieve pain and swelling.

Rewind: Editors at the 9:30 Club
Rewind brings you the lowdown on what happened the night before. Tuesday evening, Editors brought their show to the 9:30 Club.
Smith's voice is often negatively compared to that of Paul Banks, lead singer of fellow indie rock band Interpol. But while it evokes Banks's trademark somber timbre, as you watch Editors perform live, you realize the band is more a slightly moodier Snow Patrol or Coldplay than a toothless Interpol. This likeness extended to the crowd gathered at the 9:30 Club—an assortment of young people clad in polos and khakis as well as more mature Top 40 listeners.
To the band's credit, the show's energy level never dwindled. Slower tunes such as "Weight of the World" and the encore "Smokers Outside of Hospital Doors" were either followed or preceded by spitfires like "Munich" and "An End Has a Start"—performed, sadly, without the kooky rainbow-colored-panties-wearing dancers from the video. The show's lighting, with shifts from deep hues to incessant flashing, also kept the momentum going. And with only a couple of thank-yous uttered by Smith between songs, the show was short and sweet and … nearly forgettable.
What with the lack of audience interaction and zero spontaneity, all pressure was on the band's sound, which fell far from unique. Feeling more calculated than heartfelt, most of the tracks performed kept the audience tapping along, but few seemed to linger afterward.
On the band's record, Smith may sing about ends having starts but as last night's show proved, Editors should focus less on the finish line and more on jump-starting their musical career with a style all their own.

On Saturday Gloria celebrated her 14th birthday
MAPUTO, Mozambique, 28 March 2011 – On Wednesday 16 March, a young girl lay peacefully at rest as relatives, neighbors and friends tearfully filed by her open casket. As they approached the girl's heartbroken and grieving mother, who sat sobbing and with her head bowed at the far end of a room overflowing with people, they kissed her on the cheeks and offered her their heartfelt condolences. Most were crying themselves. The girl's older brother was not, but his pain and anger were palpable.
The previous Saturday, Gloria had turned 14 years old. The mother had given her daughter Mt 200 (US$12) to buy herself a birthday gift, and she had bought a new pair of sandals. She was childishly excited about her shiny new sandals. Unfortunately, she never got to wear them, but the empty sandals are still there, a potent and painful symbol of the void in a mother's heart.
On Sunday afternoon, Gloria's mother had gone to visit a neighbor whose relative had died, but her daughter didn't want to come, preferring instead to stay at home. She had always liked to be at home and did not socialize a whole lot. When the mother came back a couple of hours later, she found the house in a mess, as after a struggle, and Gloria was nowhere to be found. Her body was discovered the next day in a vacant house nearby. She had been sexually assaulted and murdered. Not more than a brief mention was made of her case in the country's largest newspapers. She was inconspicuous when she was alive and not much attention was paid to her death.
"It hurts badly to think about it," says Madalena, the girl's mother, who raised Gloria and her brother on her own. Madalena can no longer sleep in her own house, both because of what happened there and because she doesn't feel safe anymore.
"We don't know who did this, and they are still out there," the mother said quietly, with both frustration and fear in her voice. One suspect, a 35-year old man with two children of his own, has been apprehended by the police, but his role in what transpired is not clear.
"Gloria was raped and killed in her own home, in a place where she felt safe. Her fate is a powerful reminder of how vulnerable children are to sexual abuse and violence," says Marie-Consolée Mukangendo, Communication for Development Specialist at UNICEF Mozambique.
Violence and sexual abuse against children in Mozambique is widespread, but remains hidden and often unrecognized. Perceived as taboo, the topic is seldom discussed or reported. Official statistics remain limited and probably do not capture the true scale of the problem. Often, the abused children and their families do not speak up, particularly when the crime has been committed by someone they know. Research shows that children are generally abused by people they know and trust and that they almost always suffer physical and psychological consequences of the abuse.
The case of Gloria underscores the need to enforce the laws, punish the criminals and create an environment where sexual abuse is rejected by society. It calls for a change in social norms that makes violence against children unacceptable and an environment where it is socially acceptable for the victim to speak up.
Under the leadership of the Ministry of Education, other Ministries, civil society and faith-based organizations, UNICEF is supporting the development of a zero tolerance campaign against sexual abuse and violence. Leading Mozambican personalities and child rights advocates Mingas, Stewart Sukuma, Joaquim Chissano and Luisa Diogo will be spearheading the campaign, which asks people to open their eyes to the sexual abuse that is happening around them, in their own house, in their neighborhood, in communities or at school, and to reject it forcefully and unequivocally.
"The motto of the campaign – 'não da para aceitar' or 'don't accept it' – emphasizes that we all have to play a part in preventing sexual abuse and violence against children. We all have a responsibility to open our eyes and reject it when we see it," says Mukangendo.
Many police stations have 'gabinetes de atendimento' or special rooms where victims of sexual abuse can be taken care of in a safe place. The task of fighting sexual abuse and violence cannot be left to the police alone, however, but must involve communities, families and individuals. Children, especially girls and their caregivers, must be empowered to break the culture of silence and report sexual abuse to the police.
"Any person who is a victim of sexual abuse or knows of such abuse should report it to the police, and the police must prioritize such cases," concludes Marie-Consolée Mukangendo.

THE earliest known case of Down's syndrome has been found.
While Down's syndrome is a well-known cause of intellectual disability, there are few cases in the archaeological record.
A child's skeleton from a 5th-century necropolis in France has all the signs, says Maïté Rivollat of the University of Bordeaux in France. The child had a short, broad skull and thin cranial bones (International Journal of Paleopathology, doi.org/tdz). The child was buried like everyone else, which, Rivollat says, hints there was no stigma around the condition.
John Starbuck of Indiana University in Indianapolis agrees with the Down's diagnosis, but says it is hard to extrapolate cultural values from remains.

The War Within
By Jon Lee Anderson
A few weeks ago, in a rebel headquarters near Aleppo, an officer in the Free Syrian Army showed me a map of an offensive. Traced out on paper in pen and ink, it delineated districts in the city, identifying each by a letter, which allowed the rebels to monitor their expanding turf. The officer pointed to districts C and B, and said, "Those are liberated." Pointing to A, he said, "Half an hour ago, we reached the middle of the city, near the Citadel"—the medieval fortress that looms on a hill. I asked about district D, an area deeper in the city. "It's still not in the hands of the F.S.A.," he said matter-of-factly. Another chart showed where rebel groups had established themselves. "This lets us know how many are where," he said, "and helps us to decide how much food and medicine and other supplies to send." He smiled at the evidence of conquest and said, "It's a good system."

Jim Jarmusch Wants You to See These Monodramas!
And Jim Jarmusch has co-signed the event by declaring himself way into both composer Morton Feldman, as well as his librettist—the one and only Samuel Beckett. The Beckett-love doesn't surprise me, but Jarmusch's being a fan of Feldman—particularly the six-hour-long String Quartet No. 2—wasn't immediately intuitive until I remembered: oh yeah, the director of Down By Law likes himself some deliberate pacing also.
Many of Feldman's works are far too, uh, long, to come across well in a single YouTube video (or to be ideally experienced by clicking through 5 or 6 YouTubes to get the full performance). But the "Durations" miniatures are nice. Here's one:
And this page offers more background than does Jarmusch's video, with regard to the working method employed by two weirdo geniuses who barely knew one other.
Last week, John Zorn told us that his monodramatic one-act is set to feature "70 people on stage, wild costumes, people flying thru the air, pyrotechnics, animations of [Antonin] Artaud drawings, and the AMAZING voice of Finnish soprano, Anu Komsi." So yeah, I'll be going to this performance multiple times. Come along!

UPDATE: U.S. 60 in Union County reopens after semi accident
Authorities report that U.S. 60 in Union County has reopened at the scene of a semi accident that occurred earlier today.
Cleanup work continues along the shoulder of the highway, and motorists are asked to use caution in the area while crews are still on the scene.
A semi accident on U.S. 60 roughly one mile from Kentucky 56 in Union County has shut down one lane of U.S. 60.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the semi overturned, spilling a load of rubber and 150 gallons of diesel. Officials said U.S. 60 is down to one lane until the truck is removed. The diesel is in a ditch that has been bermed with sand, said Keith Todd, public information officer for the cabinet.
Motorists should avoid the area, if possible, Todd said.

Alex Counts is the President and CEO of Grameen Foundation.
I didn't know what to expect when my plane approached Port au Prince, Haiti, a little more than one week ago. Like many people around the world, I had been working hard to help Fonkoze, Haiti's largest microfinance institution, since it was devastated by the January 12 earthquake. I acted in my capacities as President of Grameen Foundation, which has a long-standing relationship with Fonkoze, and as the volunteer Chairman of Fonkoze USA.
Some of the reports I'd received from Fonkoze after the earthquake were depressing: food and fuel shortages, growing death tolls of Fonkoze staff and clients, homes and businesses destroyed, survivors enduring maddeningly slow recovery from injuries (their progress often stunted due to intensive work against doctor's orders). Others reports were inspirational: the U.S. military's heroic, James Bond-esque effort in the dead of night to transport $2 million in cash from the US to Fonkoze's 40 branches via helicopters (so that clients could withdraw savings and remittances), the successful pilot of a "mobile branch in a van," and, above all, the tower of strength that Anne Hastings and her team displayed to me and millions of others once communications were restored and a plan for recovery could be developed and shared.
With your generous support, our first priority was to provide small grants for transitional housing for Fonkoze staff that had lost their homes. Without such support, it was understandably difficult for Fonkoze's staff (many of whom were left homeless) to focus on the work at hand. Grameen Foundation's Regional CEO Alberto Solano led our efforts to finalize how your dollars can make the greatest impact on Haiti's rebuilding process. Although your quick response to our call to help Haiti was gratifying, I know one thing for sure: we have more good ideas than we have funds available to implement them.

Just got a call from the doc and the results came back from my pap smear and abnormal cells showed up. This means that I have HPV. I wasn't super shocked by this bc actually most of the population has it, they just don't know bc it doesn't show symptoms or signs. But they said we will schedule a colposcopy soon which is where they just go in and look at my cervix but they don't do any biopsies until after I have the baby. I'm just extremely nervous about all of this. HPV can turn into cervical cancer and I guess that's what scares me. Or maybe it's this colposcopy or biopsies that scare me. And definitely being pregnant with all this is terrifying. Anyone else had to go through this? Does anyone know how to calm me down about this??
Pretty scared now.

She said on the phone at first that it was abnormal cells and then I asked so does this mean it could be hpv or it is? And she said that it was. She explained about the colposcopy and stuff but I have a check up appointment tomorrow anyways so I told her I would just talk to them tomorrow. I'm on a military post so we don't get one specific doctor, it's whoever is in the office on that day so maybe the doc tomorrow can explain it more or better
Posted 12/03/2012
I had one come back abnormal last year. They did a biopsy and everything was fine. All have been norml since then. She just sees me for a pap every 6 months as opposed to a year. As for the colposcopy, it caused some mild cramping and spotting but didn't last long. I'm sure you will be fine!

I came back positive for HPV when they did a pap when I first found out I was pregnant.
They said they can't do anything about it until after I have the baby

Posted 12/03/2012
I had abnormal cells about 5 years ago and so they said "probably just HPV" and did a colpo. Came back abnormal but not cancer...precancer they said. Then I had another and it was normal. I've never had another abnormal one since and my new dr said that was bull that having one abnormal reading meant you have HPV. Also, I was about 20 and now my dr won't do a pap smear until after 21 because the younger you are the more likely for you to have false abnormal readings and then never have them again.
Posted 12/03/2012
yes and the colpo hurt bad...I would NEVER agree to one during pregnancy.,,I had horrible cramps all day and into the next.
Posted 12/03/2012
They did two of them on my friend during her pregnancy. I was like wtf can that even be safe?!

The state's dangerously bloated pension system was the subject of discussion today on Comment Please by Univest. State Senator Bob Mensch says, over the last five years the state pension system is in a 50-billion dollar deficit
"If the markets don't begin to behave extraordinarily, not average or normal, but extraordinarily good, the markets themselves can never make up this difference."
Mensch says, just about every state has the same problem. He says, lawmakers must make it a major priority when the next legislative session begins. Mensch characterized the pension problem as the "gorilla in the room." One that every elected person in the State Legislature should recognize.
A vote on an ordinance to protect members of the gay, lesbian and transgender communities could come in Montgomery County sometime near the fall season. Commissioner Chairman, Josh Shapiro says a work group is trying to determine if Montco can adopt such an ordinance.
"We've exploring that legal question and we hope to be able to have a public presentation on this sometime early in the fall. We will take the results of that and determine what action is necessary."
It seems likely the non discrimination ordinance would be passed with or without the support of minority Commissioner, Bruce Castor.
Should the U.S. and its allies take out Syria's ability to use chemical weapons. Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Bob Casey believes President Obama has the power to make a move without consent from Federal lawmakers.
"I believe the War Powers Act allows the President to take military action, especially when you consider that chemical weapons are being used against the Syrian people."
Casey says, he's disappointed that the British Parliament voted against taking action over the Syria issue
President Obama continues to seek out support for a resolution that would allow the United States to carry out a military attack on Syria chemical weapons stockpile. Congressman Jim Gerlach says, right now, he would cast a "no" vote to attack Syria, based on the information that's available.
"The Resolution only says, you're only going to be allowed over 90 days, perhaps some missiles to make a strike to send a message. But what happens if it gets out of hand and Americans are put in danger, is this really worth it if you're only purpose, as the President has stated is simply send some sort of message without taking Ashad out or without otherwise dealing with his military forces."
Gerlach says, based on the information he would vote "no" because the situation is not directly impacting Americans. He adds, if information was discovered that militant groups with unfavorable views of the U-S were to obtain some of Ashad's chemical weapons, he would lean toward military action. Congressman Gerlach was a guest on WNPV's AM-Edition Thursday morning with Darryl Berger.

Re: my screen of my mac book pro often goes completely black, when i work with final cut pro, and then all stops and I have to restart the computer and often lose data; what is the cause? in response to Toonfromnajac
You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Quick report on the Red Sox workout
FORT MYERS, Fla. A few quick Red Sox notes:
The Red Sox split up their position positions today, using two fields to accommodate all the early arrivals.
The vaunted Red Sox equipment truck pulled in last night and was unloaded this morning. You can't imagine the excitement.
Team execs Mike Hazen and Jared Porter have arrived along with advance scout Steve Langone.
Infield coach Brian Butterfield has school back in session. He's been working before and after practice with Xander Bogaerts and Will Middlebrooks.
Bogaerts missed a month of camp last year because of the WBC. He will benefit greatly from being around Butterfield all spring. Bogaerts took some grounders at third base last week but he's been exclusively at shortstop since.
Back later with more.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 4/17/13
Brandon Nimmo has gotten off to one of the hottest starts in the minor leagues this season. After another three hit performance on Tuesday, he woke up on Wednesday morning as the leading hitter in the South Atlantic league with a .447. Nimmo has officially positioned himself to be the No. 2 prospect in the Mets organization once Zack Wheeler and Travis d'Arnaud are promoted to the big leagues. Noah Syndergaard still has the keys to the No. 1 spot on the Mets' prospect list, but Nimmo is making a push. Many fans thought Nimmo was a bust after 2012. They would look at his numbers and scoff at them. However, Nimmo spent 2012 adjusting to professional baseball. He grew up in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where his high school didn't even have a baseball team. He grew up playing American Legion ball, and established himself as one of the top high school prospects in the nation moving into the 2011 draft. The thing with high school players is, they only face a good pitcher once per week…maybe. Somet...

Video: Glenn Robinson III soars for nasty alley-oop
Glenn Robinson III in the open floor is a wonderful thing to watch. It's even better when he's in the open floor and one of his Michigan teammates lobs an alley-oop his way. That was the case in Tuesday night's 80-67 win vs. Penn State, and Robinson III didn't disappoint at all on the transition alley-oop. Watch the highlight and another one of his dunks in this post.

I guess I'm just a fat kid in a t-shirt in my parents' basement. Except I don't really like Cheetos. And bloggers do real journalism. And, most importantly, public figures, like a drunk Jerry Jones talking trash about the Cowboys former GM and besmirching the good name of Tim Tebow, have always been fair game.
P.S. Journalism has certainly declined, but, Dale Hansen, you're a local TV sports anchor. So, please don't get so self-righteous on us.
