The Google Super Tuesday Map Mashup
Google has created the Super Tuesday Google Map, a mega mashup for the 24 primary state elections taking place today. Google has linked up with Twitter and Twittervision to display live messages from voters sounding off about their experiences voting or whatever Super Tuesday thoughts they may have! Sit back and watch the map for a few minutes to get the pulse for how the entire nation is feeling today! The Super Tuesday Map also features videos and stories from special election versions of both YouTube and Google News and detailed results (to the county level) will also be displayed as they start to come in throughout the evening. The Super Tuesday YouTube site that is also plotting videos to a Google Map! This is the best place to go to get into the action and the experience the buildup to the final decision later tonight!

The Effect of Cohabitation on Marital Dissolution
The number of couples who cohabitate before marriage has drastically risen in the past forty years and it continues to rise. This review of literature focuses on the effect that cohabitation has on marital dissolution. Twenty-eight articles on the topic of cohabitation and marital dissolution, published between 1980 and 2008, are examined. Countries studied include the United States, Canada, Australia, as well as a number of European countries. Overall, the studies found a positive correlation between couples who cohabitate before marriage and subsequent marital dissolution. Throughout the research, the selectivity theory was more heavily supported than the causation theory. It must be noted that when looking at the more recent studies, there is generally a negative correlation between cohabitation and marital dissolution when distinct, important factors are accounted for.

Phillies fans definitely can't expect Chase Utley to be the savior when he returns, but right now Michael Martinez is getting most of the playing time at second base. You have to think Utley is going to be a major upgrade, even if he's not the player he once was.
Rick Christ talked about what a great family man Webb Simpson seems like. Not surprisingly, Simpson recently announced that he will skip the British Open to be with his wife for the birth of their second child.
Shane Victorino definitely doesn't look like himself this year and a few days off should do him some good. His contract situation has to be a major reason for his struggles.
It's always great to hear about someone's triumph over cigarettes, especially when it's told in a non-preachy way like this.

What a crazy ending. Never expected the game to end on an error by a good-fielding first baseman like Todd Helton.

NEW YORK Despite signs that the economy is improving, big store chains don't expect Americans to have much holiday shopping cheer unless they see bold, red signs offering huge discounts. As a result, shoppers likely will see big sales events earlier and more often than in previous holiday seasons.
It's a problem that retailers know all too well. Since the recession began in late 2007, stores have had to offer financially-strapped Americans ever bigger price cuts just to get them into stores. But those discounts eat away at profits. So far, Wal-Mart, Target and Kohl's are among more than two dozen major chains that have lowered their profit outlooks for either the quarter or the year.

Endometrial Carcinoma: Main Page | Staging | Overview | Early Stage | Locally Advanced Stage | UPSC | Clear Cell | Brachytherapy | Recurrence | Randomized | GOG Trials
Leiomyosarcoma: Main Page
Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
- LMS account for ~25% of uterine sarcomas, which account for ~4% of uterine malignancies
- Presentation typically with vaginal bleeding, pelvic mass, and pain
- PET/CT useful based on anecdotal evidence
- Staging: based on endometrial CA; cervical LMS is considered Stage II
- Outcome prediction
- Mayo clinic risk assessment index (age, size, stage, grade)
- Prognostic index developed for soft tissue sarcomas does not apply to LMS (PMID 10717626)
- Surgery main treatment modality
- TAH standard component
- Lymph node dissection has not improved survival, but provides prognostic information
- Oophorectomy may not be necessary in premenopausal women, if ovaries are grossly normal
- Outcomes:
- Stage I-II LMS may be cured (15-year OS 40-50%)
- Stage III-IV LMS have very poor prognosis (5-year OS 15-30%)
- Adjuvant RT is controversial; Mayo data suggest significantly improved LC, but no impact on DFS or OS. Phase III EORTC trial in Stage I-II showed no impact on loco-regional control, PFS or OS for leiomyosarcoma (but LRR benefit for carcinosarcoma)
- Adjuvant chemotherapy is also controversial; doxorubicin-based regimens appear the most active, but have not resulted in significant survival benefit
Localized LMS[edit]
- EORTC 55874 (1987-2000) -- observation vs. pelvic RT
- Randomized. 224 patients with high grade uterine sarcoma (leiomyosarcoma 46%, carcinosarcoma 41%, endometrial stromal sarcoma 13%), Stage I-II, treated with TAH/BSO + washings (75%), nodal sampling optional (25%). Arm 1) observation vs. Arm 2) pelvic RT 50.4/28 Field: top border L4/L5, lower border lower margin of obturator foramina, posterior border S2/S3
- 2008 PMID 18378136 -- "Phase III randomised study to evaluate the role of adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy in the treatment of uterine sarcomas stages I and II: An European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Gynaecological Cancer Group Study (protocol 55874)." (Reed NS, Eur J Cancer. 2008 Mar 28 [Epub ahead of print])
- Outcome: LRR only observation 18% vs. RT 3%, LRR at any time 40% vs. 21% (SS); no impact on PFS or OS
- By subset: No benefit for LMS, improved local control for CS
- Conclusion: Pelvic RT improves local control but not PFS or OS for carcinosarcoma, there is no benefit in leiomyosarcoma

- DFS: LMS 5-years 40%, 15-years 40%; Mullerian 5-years 65%, 15-years 61%. Failures mostly distant
- Toxicity: 3 SBO, 1 sigmoid colon obstruction
- Conclusion: adjuvant pelvic RT efficacious; frequent peritoneal failures suggest role for abdominal RT; better systemic therapy needed

- Case-control. 18 patients with chemo followed by RT vs. 16 patients RT alone vs. 2 patient no therapy
- Conclusion: Adjuvant chemo followed by RT is feasible; PIII trial ongoing in France
Advanced LMS[edit]
- No good chemotherapy regimens available; minimal impact on survival
- Doxorubicin-based combinations appear the most active, and are typically used as first line
- Minnesota experience with RT not particularly successful
- Search continues ...

- Retrospective. 27 patients. Most treated with multimodality therapy (surgery, chemotherapy, and/or RT)
- Sugery: if no visible disease post-op, better OS (SS)
- Adjuvant therapy: after optimal cytoreduction, no decrease in rate of recurrence
- Adjuvant chemo: minimally effective, with 80% progression of disease
- Conclusion: Deadly disease. Aggressive surgical cytoreduction should be the goal
- Mayo, 2003 (1976-1999) PMID 12798712 -- "Retrospective review of 208 patients with leiomyosarcoma of the uterus: prognostic indicators, surgical management, and adjuvant therapy." (Giuntoli RL 2nd, Gynecol Oncol. 2003 Jun;89(3):460-9.)
- Retrospective. 208 patients with LMS. Median F/U 7.7 years

warped cue
I bought one of their one piece Slinger cues. It was only 9 bucks plus shipping. Do not ever buy one!!! A 10.00 Walmart cue is much better! The shaft was rough & nothing could smooth it..600-1000 & 1500 grit sandpaper would not make it smooth. In fact it seemed to raise the grain on the Burmese maple shaft!!! I called them & in a nutshell the owner basically said..you buy a cheap cue & thats what you get! He did say send it in at your expense & we will credit you 9 bucks. I also told him the tip had a bad ping. He said, the cue is a an import & what did you expect? I said it does not reflect this on your website. And he went on about what do you expect from a 9 buck cue? I fired back, at least Walmart quaility! I am done with Schmelke smuck cues. What an eye opener this was!

FOR RELEASE: October 15, 2008 CONTACT: Stan Wellborn, RFF Director of Public Affairs, 202-328-5026
WASHINGTON – Building on a 50-year legacy in energy research, Resources for the Future is undertaking a multi-faceted initiative to assess future U.S. energy policy options.
The three-year project, Towards a New National Energy Policy: Assessing the Options, will be carried out in collaboration with a new organization, the Tulsa-based National Energy Policy Institute (NEPI). The George Kaiser Family Foundation has granted funds to NEPI to underwrite the project.
"America's dependence on imported oil and other fossil fuels is a serious threat to our national security and a significant contributor to global climate change," said entrepreneur and philanthropist George Kaiser in describing his vision of the new work. "The time is ripe for an analysis of energy policy options ranked simply by the cost of reducing barrels of imported oil and tons of greenhouse gas emitted. This will give our decision makers the tools to lead us toward real energy security."
In announcing the project, RFF President Phil Sharp noted, "Over the next decade, the nation's policy planners must have reliable methods to judge the feasibility of a wide variety of energy policy options. RFF's distinguished history in providing nonpartisan analysis in energy and climate policy equips us well to take on this essential work."
The research, to be formally launched in the fall of 2008, will be managed by a team of project leaders, including RFF Senior Fellows Alan Krupnick, Margaret Walls, and Ian Parry, as well as Tony Knowles, former governor of Alaska and now president of NEPI. Contributors to the project will be drawn from the RFF staff and outside experts, and the work will culminate with publication of a book in 2011. Interim products will include white papers and the results of individual expert research projects in particular areas of energy policy.
Knowles says RFF was chosen for the project because of its longstanding contributions to energy policy formulation and its demonstrated ability to inject its research findings into the policy process. "For many years, there has been a need to define consistent metrics in the energy debate to ensure clarity, focus, and understanding. RFF has shown that it has the analytical capability and policy know-how needed to deliver reliable results."
Policy areas to be studied during the first phase of the project include:
Work will also begin on strategies for domestic hydrocarbon options including access to federal onshore and offshore lands, building natural gas pipelines, unconventional fossil fuel resources, and biofuels.
"In addition to signing up experts, we are creating a series of background papers, such as on energy security and a review of models, including our choice of the EIA's National Energy Modeling System, to serve as the analytical basis for the project," says Krupnick. "In the second phase of this project, we will complete our comprehensive policy analyses, including the identification of promising combinations of policies."

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Joe ThompsonSpecial to American Forces Press Service
FORWARD OPERATING BASE DELTA, Iraq, April 17, 2009 The 772nd Military Police Company and an Iraqi police advisor team are starting a new approach to police training in Iraq's Wasit province that will provide a sustainable training system for when coalition forces leave the country.
"Our overall goal is to start a program in Wasit that can be a model for the rest of the country," said Army Staff Sgt. Elton Dean, headquarters squad leader, 772nd MP Company. "What we want to do is give the minister of interior a reason to institute a program like this in order to make the entire country of Iraq better, not just the province of Wasit."
The new training approach involves a mobile training team that will travel to outlying and local police stations and focus on the train-the-trainer program for each station.
"With the time frame that we're looking at, it's real important right now that we start looking at a way that we can start making them more self-reliant and continue their training and be able to have the fundamentals down," said Dean, of Douglas, Mass. "When we are gone, they can continue to train and be able to police themselves and not have to look around for answers."
The training will focus on everything from community policing, ethics, basic law enforcement procedures, crime scene protection, crime scene processing and leadership courses to any identified training that the local police stations may need. The training structure was built around assessments from Maj. Gen. Raad, Wasit's provincial director of police.
It also will establish different training for the officers, noncommissioned officers and regular Iraqi police officers.
""One of the things we have been looking at is how can you, as a leader, keep accountability of your Iraqi police officers and keep the standards enforced if you don't actually understand what they are," Dean explained. "This new training approach will address that problem."
The training approach is sustainable, Dean said, not only because the Iraqi police will be trained under the train-the-trainer program, but also because each police station and the police headquarters will have training officers to track the progress of the training across the province. And the 772nd MP Company is well-suited for the mission, he added.
"What's good about the 772 being here is that it is a National Guard company, where we do have a lot of civilian police officers and we bring a lot of civilian policing experience to the table," Dean said. "This helps the Iraqi police get away from the military mindset, because the military and the police are two different functions. We're able to bring enough of that civilian experience so that we can mentor them on a level that they should be mentored at."
The Iraqi police advisors are scheduled to begin the new training program in the next few weeks, as soon as the provincial director of police indentifies the initial set of instructors to be trained, Dean said.
(Army Sgt. 1st Class Joe Thompson serves with the 41st Fires Brigade.)

* Politicians disavow violence but still call for marches
* Nearly 60 people killed since Jan 25
* Opponents accuse Mursi of consolidating power
* Brotherhood says opposition trying to undo election outcome (Updates with wounded, presidency statement, details)
By Yasmine Saleh and Seham Eloraby
CAIRO/PORT SAID, Egypt, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Dozens of Egyptian protesters were wounded on Friday when youths hurling petrol bombs at President Mohamed Mursi's palace clashed with riot police, as thousands took to the streets to demand the overthrow of the Islamist leader.
Youths threw petrol bombs and shot fireworks at the outer wall of Mursi's Cairo presidential compound as night fell, and police responded by firing water cannon and tear gas.
The head of Egypt's ambulance service said 54 people had been wounded across the country, mostly in Cairo, although there were no reports of deaths by evening.
The renewed demonstrations brought an end to a few days of calm after the deadliest week of Mursi's seven months in power. Protests marking the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak have killed nearly 60 people since Jan. 25, prompting the head of the army to warn this week that the state was on the verge of collapse.
With multi-coloured fireworks bouncing off their shields and bursting among them, helmeted and baton-wielding riot police chased protesters at the palace and set their tents ablaze. Petrol bombs briefly set fire to a building inside the compound.
The head of the Republican Guard, which protects the palace, condemned what he described as attempts to climb the compound walls and storm a gate. In a statement to the state news agency, he urged protesters to keep their demonstration peaceful.
Earlier, men dressed in mourning black marched through the Suez Canal city of Port Said, scene of the worst bloodshed of the past nine days, chanting and shaking their fists.
"There is no God but God and Mohamed Mursi is the enemy of God," they chanted. Brandishing portraits of those killed in recent days, they shouted: "We will die like they did, to get justice!"
There were also scuffles earlier near Cairo's central Tahrir Square, where police fired teargas at stone-throwing youths. In Alexandria, protesters blocked roads, staged a sit-in on the railway and tried to break into the TV and radio building.
The protesters accuse Mursi of betraying the spirit of the revolution by concentrating too much power in his own hands and those of his Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood accuses the opposition of trying to overthrow the first democratically elected leader in Egypt's 5,000-year history.
Mohamed Ahmed, 26, protesting at the presidential palace, said: "I am here because I want my rights, the ones the revolution called for and which were never achieved."
For the Port Said marchers, Friday was also the first anniversary of a soccer stadium riot that killed 70 people last year. Death sentences handed down on Saturday against 21 Port Said men over the riots helped fuel the past week's violence there, which saw dozens shot dead in clashes with police.
Friday's marches took place despite an intervention by Ahmed al-Tayyeb, head of the 1,000-year-old al-Azhar university and mosque, who hauled in politicians for crisis talks on Thursday where they signed a charter disavowing violence. Mursi's foes said the pact did not require them to call off demonstrations.
"We brought down the Mubarak regime with a peaceful revolution and are determined to realise the same goals in the same way, regardless of the sacrifices or the barbaric oppression," tweeted Mohamed ElBaradei, a former head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog who has become a secularist leader.
The main opposition National Salvation Front denied it was to blame for the unrest. Mursi's office said it would "hold the political forces that may have participated in incitement fully politically responsible, pending results of investigation."
Tahrir Square has become a graffiti-scarred monument to Egypt's perpetual turmoil, strewn with barbed wire and burnt-out cars. Vendors sold flag bracelets, pharaonic statues, sunflower seeds, water and fruit while the protesters gathered.
A man with a microphone shouted to the crowd, calling for Mursi to be put on trial. "We came here to get rid of Mursi," said furniture dealer Mohammed al-Nourashi, 57.
The rise of an elected Islamist after nearly 60 years of rule by secular military men in the most populous Arab state is the most important change achieved by two years of Arab revolts.
But seven months since his narrow election victory over an ex-Air Force commander, Mursi has failed to unite Egyptians and protests have made the country seem all but ungovernable. The turmoil has worsened an economic crisis, forcing Cairo to drain its currency reserves to prop up its pound.
Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie, on his Facebook page, blamed the unrest on "regional and international forces which aim for instability and to stir up problems and ignite strife to damage Egypt ... to thwart the democratic transition".
Brotherhood followers have clashed with demonstrators in the past, especially at the presidential palace which they regard as a symbol of his legitimacy. But the group has kept its men off the streets during the latest violence.
It is far from clear that opposition politicians could call off the street demonstrations, even if they wanted to.
"You have groups who clearly just want a confrontation with the state - straightforward anarchy; you've got people who supported the original ideals of the revolution and feel those ideals have been betrayed," said a diplomat. "And then you have elements of the old regime who have it in their interests to foster insecurity and instability. It is an unhealthy alliance."
Many Egyptians are fed up.
"We are exhausted. This protests thing is a political game whose price the people are paying. I hate them all - liberals and Brotherhood," said Abdel Halim Adel, 60, near the presidential palace.

Deputies: Dad in bar left 6-year-old in car
A 35-year-old Monroe man has been booked with child desertion after deputies say he allegedly left a 6-year-old child in vehicle while he was in a bar.
Ouachita Parish deputies say Labarraon Shecoby Spivey was at the Suga Shack, when an officer arrived to investigate a call about a child sitting in the passenger seat of a parked car early Sunday morning. Several attempts were made to locate the owner of the vehicle, with announcements being made over the bar's speaker system.
After approximately 30 minutes, deputies say Spivey, who is the father of the child, came out of the bar.
The News-Star reports ( http://tnsne.ws/14Iyifs) Spivey posted a $7,500 bond and was released.
It was unclear whether he has an attorney.

Ride Share
Independence Pass will be open!
Colorado Department of Transportation announcement
Flying into Aspen/Pitkin County airport (ASE)
The easiest way to get to Aspen is to book a flight directly into Aspen/Pitkin County airport. Aspen is a compact town, and the Aspen Meadows resort runs a free shuttle for its guests, so if you fly all the way to Aspen, you shouldn't need a car at all. You can fly to Aspen through Salt Lake City on Delta or through Denver on United. Update: Frontier Airlines is now flying into Aspen five times daily with a 70 passenger Q-400 airplane.
Flights directly into Aspen fill up quickly so we recommend you book early.
Flying into Eagle (EGE) or Denver (DEN)
Some people decide to fly to one of the two larger regional airports and travel about 1.5-4 hours on the road. The scenery in the area is beautiful, and the drive is very pleasant. You may find this alternative to be more economical.
Ground Transportation
Participants flying into Denver or Eagle Colorado will want to arrange further transportation in order to reach Aspen. The most common options are detailed below.
Shuttle: Colorado Mountain Express (CME)
|1-800-525-6363. (Advance reservations essential. Use this number for both Aspen and Eagle reservations)
CME runs shuttle bus service from both Denver and Eagle airports to Aspen. Each van holds 8-10 people. We recommend that you make reservations with CME directly, and that you do so as soon as you have your flight information.
Denver Airport to Aspen and Return
|Airport Pick Up:
|Ground Transportation Center, lower level.
|$118/person, tax included, one way
Scheduled departures at 12:30 noon and 3:30 pm. Flights should arrive by 11 am and 2 pm respectively. If there is sufficient demand to warrant adding additional departures, they will be happy to add more service.
Eagle Airport to Aspen and Return
|Airport Pick Up:
|Outside main door to terminal.
|$57/person, tax included, one way
Departures are flight-specific. Please have your flight information complete before you call CME for shuttle transportation from the Eagle Airport.
Driving From Denver
In past years Independence Pass has not been open in time for the conference, so drivers had to take the 222 mile (and approximately 4 hour) route through Glenwood Springs. However for 2012 the Colorado Department of Transportation has opened the pass in time for our conference allowing drivers to take the 185 mile summer route. Your destination is Aspen Meadows Resort, 845 Meadows Rd., Aspen CO 81611.
Driving From Eagle
Participants driving from Eagle can follow the last part of the same route used to reach Aspen from Denver. The trip takes approximately 1 hour 40 minutes.
We advise against trying to avoid Glenwood Springs by taking Route 6 from Eagle. It's a dirt road for part of the way, and if there's bad weather, the dirt turns to clay or worse.

Can Sustainable Values Bridge the Conservative-Progressive Divide?
Posted By dpacheco On December 26, 2009 @ 1:24 pm In Business & Economy | No Comments
Sustainability makes strange bedfellows. In this case, a small Jewish-leaning business and a fundamentalist Christian megachurch.
In his latest article for TriplePundit, Martin Melaver [1], author of Living Above the Store: Building a Business That Creates Value, Inspires Change, and Restores Land and Community and CEO of the socially responsible business Melaver, Inc., talks about a strange partnership his company recently entered into. At first glance, the two organizations couldn't be less alike. Dig deeper, though, and you'll see that responsible stewardship of this big ol' mudball we all share crosses faith, party, and ideological borders.
One of our clients is a fundamentalist Church with a mega-congregation. My own company is a small family business with strong leftist Jewish values. You wouldn't think we'd have much to talk about except the weather and SEC football. The differences could not be greater.
The K-12 school that is a part of the Church has a sign on its football stadium that reads "With God's help we will crush the enemy." In my own lexicon, I don't think I've ever used the word "warrior" outside the context of a yoga position. The Church finishes all of its meetings with a prayer. Our own company meetings are much more riotous by comparison. The Church evangelizes on television every Sunday. We try to do our talking through various sustainable practices that take years before they come to fruition.
There are some things we are never going to agree on, some other things I can't even imagine having a conversation about. And yet despite many cultural differences, our two entities are slowly discovering some compelling common ground.
This particular Church is interested in creating a continuum of care for its congregants, a cradle-to-grave development that most of us would recognize in one way or another as good ol' mixed-use, mixed-income community development. And, as trustees of church coffers, they are interested in energy-saving strategies and water-conservation technologies that reduce costs for its constituents – thus making them similarly invested in being good stewards of our natural capital. In short, a conservative Church finds itself breaking bread with a progressive business on a sustainable real estate venture.

Step 1: Gather the materials
Step 2: Scribble resistance
Step 3: Add the paper clips
Step 4: Measure the resistor
Beware (mild): Don't let your fingers touch the leads when you are measuring the resistance. Your human contact to the leads with body resistance will distort the meter reading.
Beware (medium): Don't let the paper clips touch. If the paper clips touch there is an electrical 'short' as there is no resistance and your circuit might get damaged.
BEWARE (HIGH): This is LOW VOLTAGE SOLUTION - - do NOT use this in high voltage circuits.
The results of this DIY resistor vary enormously - - you did it yourself!
"No problem, I just need a pencil, a piece of paper and two paper clips."

No. 753,311. ,PATENTED MAR. 1, 1904.
TM: NDRRIS PETERS no.v ncrragjruu, WASHINGTOR, n. a
UNITED STATES Patented March 1, 1904.
ATTILIO PUSTERLA, or NEw'YoRK, N. Y.
PLEASU IRE-WATERWAY- SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 753,311, dated March 1, 1904.
Application filed June 9,1903. $eria1No.160,721. (No modal.)
To a, whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, ATTILIO PUSTERLA, a subject of the King of Italy, and a resident of New York, in the borough of Manhattan and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pleasure-Waterways; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to waterways, and more particularly to water carousels, and has for its object a simple structure and operating mechanism hereinafter to be particularly described and claimed.
Referring to the drawings, in which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a cross-section, partly in elevation. plan, and Fig. 3 is a perspective, showing one of the boats.
The structure comprises an artificial lake,
consisting of a circular basin 5, made of cement, concrete, or other suitable material, having a front platform 22, and at thecenter of the basin is mounted a stirring-wheel 6, carrying a bevel-gear 7 driven by pinion 8 of an electric or other motor 9, said motor also having a pinion 10 gearing with one, 11, on a centrifugal pump 12. This pump draws water from the basin 5 to supply a decorative fountain, cascade, or similar device 13, located above the housing or casing 14 of the operating machinery above mentioned. This housing or casing is supported on posts 15.
Concentric with the outer wall of the basin is a partition-wall 16, extending nearly around the basin. This partition-wall may extend entirely to the bottom of the basin or may extend only below the surface, as the dimensions of the structure require or admit. At one end of this structure is a gate 17, hinged at 18 and operated by the handle 19, said gate fitting close to the wall of the basin when open or, if desired, may fit into a suitable recess in the side of the basin constructed to accommodate it. The free end of the gate abuts against the stop 20 on theend of the par- Fig. 2 is a tition-wall 16, and if it is so desired any suitable catch or spring-lock may be used to hold it in any position.
When the structure is of small diameter, it is preferably, though not absolutely necessary, 5 5 that the partition-wall 16 extend to the bottom of the basin 5, thereby maintaining a dead-water space 21 between the partition-wall and the side of the basin. When the structure is relatively large in diameter, this partition-wall need not extend entirely to the bottom of the basin.
The operation is as follows: The electric or other motor 9 drives the pinion 8, which in turn drives the bevel-gear 7, secured to the shaft of the stirring-wheel 6. This sets the water in motion and gives theentire body of water a circular movement or rotation, excepting, ofcourse, that portion of the water in the dead space 21. This will carry boats floating on the surface of the water also in a circular direction, the speed of said boats being greater near the center than at the circumference, owing to the drag of the comparatively large body of water being stirred. When it is desirable for passengers to leave the structure, the gate 17 is opened, and the boats ride into the dead-water space 21, the boats after entering being still propelled by reason of movingwater entering through the o gate. The gate is allowed to remain open until the boats reach the landing or platform 22 at the front of the structure, when it is then closed. Here the boats are held by attendants, or if the water be entirely dead then 8 5 an attendant pulls the boats to the landing.
The boats are provided, as shown in Fig. 3, with side rollers 24% to prevent too great friction against the sides of the basin or of the partition 16 and have pivoted to each 'side a 9 paddle 25, having two blades 26, constructed in such a manner that when the handle is pulled toward the passenger the blades move forward and close together, while when the handle is moved outward or from the passenger the 9 5 blades open and have a propelling action on the boat. These paddles enable passengers to guide the boats in the basin and according to their position to and from the center increase and decrease their speed, thereby permitting I00 two or more boats to race during their course around the basin. y
The entire structure is surrounded with scenic effects, and the entrance to orthe exit from the dead-water space, or both, may be constructed to represent tunnels, cai'ons, or other scenery, as the owner may select.
Having thus described my said invention, what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination with a substantially cirv cular body of water, of means to circularly move or rotate the body of water and boats carried by the water, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a substantially circular body of water,of means to circularly move or rotate the body of water anda deadwater space, substantially as described.
3. The combination with a substantially circular body of water, of means to circularly move or rotate the body of water, a dead-water space, means to connect the dead-Water space with the main moving body of water and boats carried by the water, substantially as described.
4. The combination with a substantially circular body of water, of means to circularly move or rotate the body of water, a body of substantially dead water in the basin connected at one end to the main body of water and means at the other end to admit moving water to the body of dead water, substantially as described.
5. The combination with a substantially circular basin and a body of water therein, of means to circularly move or rotate the body of water, an arcuate partition concentric with the basin to inclose substantially dead water

Whether you or a loved one has a wound as a result of surgery, an injury or burn, diabetes, pressure ulcer problems or poor circulation, the wound requires special care. Proper wound care is critical to preventing infections and other serious complications. The Visiting Nurse Service of New York can provide the right care for your wound at home and help you better understand the healing process so you can recover as quickly as possible.
Simply put, a wound is an opening or cut in the skin. Normally, healthy skin that is intact acts as a barrier that helps prevent germs or foreign material from entering your body. When there's a break in the skin because of a wound, however, you become vulnerable to infection in the wound itself, as well as inside your body. How quickly a wound heals depends on several factors, including the size and depth of the wound, what caused it, how well you take care of it, your age, and the general state of your health.
Depending on the nature of the wound, your doctor will suggest the best ways to keep it clean and well dressed and may prescribe medications to ease the pain or prevent infection. VNSNY can help you follow your treatment plan so you can heal properly and without complications.
Our professional nursing staff includes a dedicated team of Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses (WOCN's) with expertise in the treatment of patients with wounds, ostomies (surgically created openings) and incontinence management issues.
Our nurses can help you follow your doctor's recommendations and recover from a wound at home. Our services include:

Economic Report 2011
Energy Policy, Security of Supply and the Low Carbon Economy
The change of government in Britain which occurred in May 2010 has not in any way detracted from the importance of energy policy and the national (and international) efforts to move towards a low carbon economy, even if in the international arena little, if any, progress has been made. If anything, the coalition government has not simply inherited its predecessor's policies, but it has built upon them with a series of new initiatives and measures relating to reforming the electricity market and supporting the price of carbon. With the Budget of March 2011, the Treasury published its final proposals for underpinning the price of carbon and, in July, DECC published "Planning our Electric Future: a White Paper for secure, affordable and low carbon electricity", containing reforms of the electricity market and related energy policy matters.
Currently, oil and gas comprise 75% of the country's primary energy supplies and this is forecast to decline only slowly during the next 20 years (e.g. to about 70% in 2020). In 2010, production from the UKCS accounted for some 90% of oil and 60% of gas demand by volume, i.e. after netting imports and exports. While UKCS production will continue to decline slowly (it peaked in 1999 for oil and 2000 for gas), with the right investment climate we would expect that it could still satisfy about 60% of our oil and gas demand in 2020 and that production should continue into the 2040s. Therefore, we believe that the UKCS has the potential to sustain its major contribution to the future security of Britain's energy supplies. The tax measures announced in the Budget 2011 cast some doubt on the extent of this role, although the industry is currently working with Government on mitigating measures.

This is something that Communists and Hussein can tout as an economic recovery. If it fails, just blame Bush, Republicans, or someone else.
Spot on.
In my neighborhood, all property values INCREASED $1,000 for no rhyme or reason. If the home was previously assessed at 100K, it was re-assessed at 101K. If it was 160k, it is now 161K.
Problem is that 6 properties sold for 41-58K in the last 2 years (all bank owned) and there was one sale from one family member to another for 102k (fraudulent?).
Now CMSD and the Port want to raise property tax rates, but the Commies at Cuyahoga County don't want to re-asses our properties to True Market Value.
I feel bad for middle class Shaker Folks. Buy a 40K bank owned home there and pay $8,000 a year in property taxes.
Thank you. I was aware of that. Scary that Romney's money backers of 2012 were mostly Hussein's of 2008.
Either way it's a lose/lose situation.
Did you mean Regress? Or was that DEPRESS?
How about Ruhm-ney's top contributors being Wall Street Bankers?
How is not reading the fine print unfair and deceptive?
I thought it was spelled Obamney? or was it Robama?
Either way, it doesn't matter. Both candidates are virtually the same.
I will be voting for Gary Johnson.
60 mil is a drop in the bucket for "academic institutions" like Pedo State.
With that being said, I do think that the Pedo State Athletic Department should have taken the hit and not the rest of Pedo U.
The reduction in scholarships hurts Pedo State and so does the ban from bowl games.
I think we need more govt surveillance cameras in the mean streets of Cleveland.
This is of course for our safety and security!!!
We should also have predator drone planes flying over the skies so we can feel "safe and secure" knowing that CPD is there for us!!
Time for Urban Meyer to get on the telephone with a few of these players at PSU.
Never hurts to have more solid O-Line/D-Line
I'm sure Mandel will debate Sleazy Sherrod Brown.
Too suggest Mandel is a "liar" when nothing has been setting is typical and reckless in the Commie playbook.
Heck we're more than 3 months out from the election.
I'm going to enjoy my weekends in September and October working on things around the house and hitting up some of the other great places in the Cleveland Area.
I'm sick and tired of Randy Lerner putting a crappy team out on the field year-after-year-after-year. Funny thing is people have nothing to do around here but watch their pathetic Browns lose. Sad that folks even pay to watch them lose every year.
Cleveland's offense has been putrid for years and is no fun to watch. I might show up for a game if they're .500. Guess I'll need to show up week 1.
Optimistic Prediction: 4-12
Realistic Prediction: 2-14.
Pessimistic Prediction: 0-16
Fuzzy Math?
Gaining 18,400 jobs = Losing 12,000 employed workers at the same time.
I think it's time to have the TSA run security checkpoints at all local malls and movie theaters for our safety.
And the crickets keep chirping....
Rates could go to 0%. There are not enough people to buy. Only thing the banks can do is rent out their properties or sit on them to avoid loses and tank the housing market.
Cleveland (Cleveland schools) Cleveland Municipal S.D is currently $965 a year for a fraudulently assessed property of 100K by county crooks.
They're asking for a $459 a year increase on fraudulently assessed property of 100K by county crooks.
Ladies and Gentlemen!! The CMSD AND FRANK JACKSON WANT TO RAISE THEIR RATES 48% AND STICK IT TO THE HOMEOWNERS!!!
CMSD is out of their minds.
But since there are so many welfare recipients in the City that own nothing, I see this passing.
Basically they're asking for a $459 a year increase ($38.30 a month) on a $100,000 home. That's insane.
Nothing will sell in Cleveland at that point except maybe a few bank owned homes in nice neighborhoods.
I like your thinking, but most sheeple wouldn't know what to do.
Some sheeple would probably just sit in their house while it's burning to wait for the Fire Department to show up. Ahhhh inhale that smoke while you're at it!!!
Oh, crazy thought, but why not have a Volunteer Fire Department? Oh wait, we couldn't do that. It would hurt the Union Thugs.
That's because they don't have to mark their assets to market.
So BofA just holds 90% of their REO inventory (that bought out Countrywide) and doesn't have to take a loss those crappy assets they bought.
Let's all believe and trust Tax-Cheat Tim Geithner now. Obey.

Video:How to Prepare for a New Babysitterwith Kathy Moore
You can ease the stress of a new babysitter with a little bit of planning. Find out what information you should give the sitter and how to prepare your children for the new visitor.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Prepare for a New BabysitterHi, I'm Kathy Moore for About.com Parenting. Utilizing baby sitters is a vital part of any healthy family. With a little bit of planning, introducing a visitor into your home and routine can be simple.
This program offers advice on how to prepare your home for a new babysitter.
Make a List of Important Names and NumbersFirst, create a list of important names and numbers that any babysitter would need to know. This should include your homes address and driving directions, the children's physicians, and maybe any other relatives or neighbors who could be helpful.
And, of course, do not forget to note where you will be and your cell phone number.
Outline Your Child's Normal RoutineNext, make an outline of your normal routine. This is especially important for children under the age of 2 who cannot communicate as well as the older ones.
Knowing when the kids normally play, nap, have a snack, and more is key to keeping them content and comforted with this new visitor.
Review the Rules of the HouseIt is also wise to list any important house rules--such as no jumping on the couch or no eating the living room--to make sure the kids do not take advantage of an unknowing sitter.
Review the list with the sitter when she arrives, and leave it for her to refer to after you leave.
Also, ensure the house is clean and orderly. No one wants to enter a house with piles of dirty laundry or dishes.
Set Out All Necessary ItemsMake finding necessary items easy by setting them out. For example, if I know we will not be returning until after the kids are in bed, I lay out their pajamas on the bathroom counter so there will not be any question about what should be worn.
Prepare any meals needed, or at least set out the items needed for the meal to save the babysitter time.
Predetermine portions of snacks and label with a small note to create a conversation for your children and the sitter while you are gone.
Prepare Your Child for the BabysitterAnd lastly, prepare your kids for the new visitor. Explain to them what will happen while you are gone and what is expected.
If possible, you could also make sure you allow time to transition between your care and that of the sitter's, especially if the babysitter is new.
That way, the children have an opportunity to see your interaction with her and can get comfortable and engaged with the sitter.
Time away from your kids is not only important to your relationship, but also the entire family. Planning ahead and preparing your house will make the transition simple for you, your kids and the babysitter.
Thanks for watching. To find out more visit us on the Web at parenting.about.com.

Hey there Aimee. I went to Albertsons and I just wanted to tell you about a few of your deals where the coupon did not work.
The first was the Arrowhead Spring Water. the man coupon is specific on ounces and quantity/size the do not match the 16.9 oz bottles that is on sale at the store.
Also the man sugar coupons are for bags 2 lbs or more. the 1 lb bags are on sale here.
Other than those everything else went smoothly. Thanks for everything you do.

Product description
They say one out of every hundred people is a psychopath. You probably passed one on the street today. These are people who have no empathy, who are manipulative, deceitful, charming, seductive, and delusional. "The Psychopath Test" is the "New York Times" bestselling exploration of their world and the madness industry. When Jon Ronson is drawn into an elaborate hoax played on some of the world s top scientists, his investigation leads him, unexpectedly, to psychopaths. He meets an influential psychologist who is convinced that many important business leaders and politicians are in fact high-flying, high-functioning psychopaths, and teaches Ronson how to spot them. Armed with these new abilities, Ronson meets a patient inside an asylum for the criminally insane who insists that he s sane, a mere run-of-the-mill troubled youth, not a psychopath a claim that might be only manipulation, and a sign of his psychopathy. He spends time with a death-squad leader institutionalized for mortgage fraud, and with a legendary CEO who took joy in shutting down factories and firing people. He delves into the fascinating history of psychopathy diagnosis and treatments, from LSD-fueled days-long naked therapy sessions in prisons to attempts to understand serial killers. Along the way, Ronson discovers that relatively ordinary people are, more and more, defined by their most insane edges. "The Psychopath Test" is a fascinating adventure through the minds of madness."

Customer reviews
By Erica Lovell 27 Jun 2014
Thoroughly entertaining, insightful, and disturbing.
I bought this when researching for work. I was swamped in heavy, depressing books about psychopathy, sociopathy, murder, violent crime and so on. I needed some light in the dark, this book is it!
Though very funny and VERY witty, the gravity of the subject is never betrayed. Ronson is thorough, respectful, self-aware and frank.
Beautiful synthesis of humour and information.
Read it.
Review quote
"Because of Ronson's relentless self-deprecation and goofy, British humor, it's easy to tag along without fully realizing the rigor of his reporting, which is itself frenzied with compulsive questioning and obsessive research." -- "The Boston Globe" "A rollicking, page-turner of a book... no ordinary piece of investigative journalism... Ronson's storytelling skills are strong enough to enliven even the necessary reflections that would be one yawn after another if entrusted to a lesser writer." -- "San Francisco Chronicle" ..".A book that manages to be as cheerily kooky as it is well-researched." -- "Los Angeles Times" "Engagingly irreverent..." -- "New York Times " "[A] fascinating and humane book..." -- "Washington Post Book World" ..".Both terrifying and hilarious." -- "O, The Oprah Magazine"
