So I'm going to be joining. My girlfriend is proud of me but naturally she's sad that I'll be gone for so long. Which is totally understood. I would be sad if she was gone for a long time too. Anything I can do to make it easier on her before and while I'm at basic?

Re: Girlfriend
Either 1) Break up with her or 2) Tell her that FMCITYSLICKER has been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan for over 30 months (and counting) and due to many schools and exercises that I have been to since January 2004, add about another 16 months. So I have not seen my family for approximately 4 years+or- in the nearly 9 years that has passed.
She will then take a chill pill and will be happy that it is only basic training.Last edited by Chief Kemosabe; August 7th, 2012, 08:49 AM.
Re: Girlfriend
Well I don't plan on breaking up with her haha. I told her just now, that it's only basic training and AIT and that I wont be gone forever. I told her I'll be writing her as much as possible while I'm gone as well. Seemed to cheer her up a lot. I think it was the part about writing her while I'm gone
I give her props, my last girlfriend didn't want me joining whatsoever. This one, she's actually proud that I'm doing this. Awww shucks

But seriously...I don't know how old you are or how serious this relationship is. It sounds like it hasn't been going on too long since you said your ex did not wan you to join and you are joining now. If it is not a serious relationship, then just being honest, it will be difficult to make it through this time. More for her then for you since you have nothing but time and her to think about, where as she has life happening while you are gone. I'm only saying this to give a realistic view of things, too many young soldiers leave for basic after just starting a new relationship, only to receive a "dear john" letter a month later about how "its just not working" for the one at home. That is not to say it can't work out, just that the odds are against you when it's not a serious relationship.
Re: Girlfriend
Im kinda in the same boat, that is if my wavier ever goes through. But it sounds like you care about her cause your asking, other wise im sure you'd just forget about her if she was a random. I would say just make sure you really trust her cause you will be gone a while, if shes been a good girlfriend she should hopefully be loyal. Also make sure your fine with not seeing her, don't want it to be wrapped around your head all of basic. Basically i would expect the worst just in case.

Lady Gaga feels persecuted
Pop singer Lady Gaga has admitted she feels persecuted by people who believe they get entertained by poking fun at her.
The 27-year-old recently tweeted a quote by late King of Pop Michael Jackson: "The bigger the star, the bigger the target", reports femalefirst.co.uk.
When she was asked if she felt persecuted, she said: "Yeah, for sure I do. Yes! I certainly feel that at this time it's almost as if people are surprised they haven't already destroyed me."
"It gives them a sense of pleasure when they believe that they've destroyed me or taken me down. It's almost entertainment for people to poke fun at Lady Gaga," she added, The Guardian reported.
The "Poker face" singer also insists that the success of a particular number is not of particular concern for her.
"People focus less on the music and focus more on how the music's doing; how it's faring from a number's perspective, from a financial perspective," Gaga said.
"If you think I give a damn about money then you don't know me as an artist at all. I think that once you've had a few Number Ones in your career that you've kind of proven yourself and I don't feel the need to prove anything anymore.
"Detractors have no idea what I put into this, they have no idea the work that I've put behind my performances and what I do. In fact, people have no idea what it really took for me to get here. It doesn't bother me, it's just an interesting observation of where we are as a society," she added.

A Wonderful Resource for LGBTQ Survivors from WCSAP
There are a lot of myths and misconceptions surrounding sexual violence in the LGBTQ community. The fact is, the LGBTQ population faces the same forms of sexual violence that the rest of the population does. What's more, sexual violence is often used as a hate crimes tactic to target the LGBTQ population. These communities also have a harder time reporting sexual violence due to increased barriers like homophobia and the fear of being outed. This is especially true of female identified same sex partners, who are often times not believed when reporting due to the common myth that women cannot be perpetrators of sexual violence.
Here are some helpful stats about sexual violence in the LGBTQ population. I found these statistics on RAINN's Website (www.RAINN.org) and from the wonderful publication that I describe below:
- Six percent of all anti-LGBT hate crimes are incidents of sexual assault or forcible rape.
- More than half of gay men and lesbians report at least one incident of sexual coercion by a same-sex partner.
- It is often thought that the larger, "butcher" partner will be the assailant in a same-sex assault; however, size or gender identity does not determine who the abusive partner is.
- Bisexual, transgendered, lesbian, and gay people experience violence within their intimate relationships at about the same rates as heterosexuals (Waldner-Haugrud, 1997; AVP, 1992)
- 30% of lesbians report having experienced sexual assault or rape by another woman (not necessarily an intimate partner) (Renzetti, 1992)
- 15% of men living with a male intimate partner report being raped, assaulted or stalked by a male cohabitant (CDC, 1999)
- LGBT individuals may experience abuse during their childhood. They may be abused by parents or others who are intolerant of homosexuality. They may be targeted for sexual abuse by adults that recognize their "difference."
- Over 11% of gay and lesbian youth report being physical attacked by family members (Hetrick-Martin Institute, 1988)
- 42% of homeless youth, many of whom have run away from home to escape violence, self-identify as gay/lesbian. (Victim Services, 1991) LGBT persons face additional challenges in healing from childhood sexual assault, due to myths that childhood sexual assault may have "caused" them to be gay.
- A study of gay, lesbian and bisexual adults showed that 41% reported being a victim of a hate crime after the age of 16. (Herek, 1999) Sexual violence is more common among LGBT hate crimes, assailants may use rape to "punish" victims for what they view as their sexual transgressions.
Because of the particular barriers that the LGBTQ community faces when reporting or talking about their assault, the transition to survivorhood can be even more difficult. It is important that as a community we recognize this difficulty and provide education and resources for LGBTQ survivors and allies to help the healing process. While conducting research for some PAVE educational materials I stumbled upon this wonderful resource, Setting The Stage: Strategies for Supporting LGBTIQ survivors. that was published by the Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs that does just that! I encourage you as an individual, advocate, counselor, friend, survivor, social service agency, etc to read through this wonderful publication.
You can download a PDF of the WCSAP's Setting The Stage: Strategies for Supporting LGBTIQ Survivors by clicking here. Please use this resources to support hte LGBTQ survivors in your life!

Who knew there were so many rare cat breeds?
Our team has been hard at work for the last month tracking down rare cats. Let me tell ya.. this has not been an easy task. Some are so rare their are only 2 in the United States. Before getting the request to locate these breeds, we had NO idea how many new cat breeds have been created in the last 10 yrs. Have you ever heard of a Cheetoh? How about an Australian Mist? A Bambino?
Maybe I will get lucky and find a breed that does not cause me to have an asthma attack. Ohh ya BTW I am HIGHLY allergic to cats. Maybe that is why I have not kept up with all the breeds. I knew most of them when I was a kid. But since I could not become obsessed with them due to my allergies I stopped paying much attention to them after the age of 12.
I had the opportunity a couple of months ago to attend my very first cat show. It have to say I quite enjoyed it for the 1/2 hr I was able to be there. If you ever get the chance to attend one go. The people showing the cats are very, very nice as well as helpful. I of course am there primarily to scout cats to appear on Animal Planet's CATS 101. We are currently filming the third season. While attending it became clear to me that there certainly are enough breeds to keep us busy for many, many years. So if you LOVE the show let us know. Oh and of course let Animal Planet know too. If you have a minute please write a comment below and tell us what cat breeds you would like to see profiled.

The stretch to the Olympics is on, and so the controversy
surrounding those who made the teams can begin. Fans of the Ottawa Senators and
New York Islanders were upset at the omission of Bobby Ryan and Kyle Okposo
respectively from team US; Flyers fans were angry that Claude Giroux was left
off the Canadian team, as were the Lightning at their own GM deciding to leave
Martin St. Louis at home. Being left off the team has lit a fire under these
players, as most of them have responded by going on goal scoring tears since
the rosters were announced. The Rangers though have seen a similar spark
ignited under their own Rick Nash.
Nash wasn't a shoe in to make Team Canada because of his
mediocre start to the year. He wasn't scoring, and wasn't even much of an
offensive threat. His experience in international play and Olympic history have
helped earn him a spot on the team. In the nine games since being named to the
team however, he has scored five goals. To put that number in perspective, Nash
only had eight goals in the first 26 games of the season. That is a huge
difference. Maybe being chosen to represent his country while players like St.
Louis and Giroux, and his good buddy Joe Thornton were left off the roster,
gave him a confidence boost. Or made him decide that if guys like this were
left off the roster while he made it that maybe it was time for him to start
playing hockey and prove he belonged on the team. Who knows. What I do know is
that Nash is finally playing the kind of hockey the Ranger fans have hoped he
could play.
When Rick Nash plays his best, the team is better. Not only
have Nash's stats improved since being named to the team, but the entire team's
has too. The team is 6-2-1 over this same period of time. I refuse to chalk
this up to coincidence, especially since in 4 of those games they scored 4
goals or more, something the team's anemic offense hasn't been able to do much
this season. He's been skating better; creating plays, and is shooting with more
accuracy and confidence. In short, he's starting to look more like the Rick
Nash the Rangers traded for, not the one who had been playing for the team
through the first half of the season. He still has a ways to go to before I'll
say that he's "back", but he's starting to move in the right direction.
The team needs him to play like this and to keep up his play.
He is the only true top line player on this team, despite the great recent play
of Mats Zuccarello and Chris Krieder. Players like Zuccs and Krieder are there
for secondary support to Nash, not the other way around. If the three of them
all keep on rolling, the Rangers have more offensive firepower and therefore
have more of a chance of being able to keep winning. The indirect result of
Nash's play improving is that it will make opposing team's shut down players
have to split who they're focusing on; they won't be able to focus on Nash
while also focusing on Zuccarello and Krieder, especially since all three don't
play on a line together. In past years, secondary scoring was something the
team lacked. This season they've been getting a lot of secondary scoring but
not as much primary scoring. If Nash keeps his play up, the team will have both
for the first time in a long time.
Bottom line is that the Rangers are clearly a better team
when Rick Nash is on his game than they are when he's not. And as they gear up
for the second half of the season in a very tight conference, and an even
tighter division, there isn't a better time for Nash to start playing his game.
As fans we can only help that this continues down the line and doesn't drop off,
as the team very much needs him to consistently produce offensively.

It is a pretty amazing acheivement, for a stadium to last that long under any circumstances, so it's definitely worth celebrating and I thought it would be cool to share some of the interesting stories and facts about the lyric little bandbox.
So here's a few of the obvious ones:

|Senior Tabby Cummins hits a jumper as the Lady Dinos defeat Judge Memorial in the first round of their play off game.
Flush off their victory down in Emery County, the Lady Dinos were not going to let their momentum slip away. Coach Bruce Bean was nervous about his team as they went into the first round of the playoffs.
Carbon had earned the home court advantage and it proved to be worth it in a 45-38 win over Judge Memorial on Friday.
Judge took control of the ball at the tip-off, but was unable to convert it into any points.
Tabby Cummins took the ball down court and hit the only three point shot that Carbon made for the night. That shot seemed to energize the squad and they hustled their way to an eight point lead at the end of the first quarter.
The Dinos' defense was smothering as they held Judge to only six points.
Both teams' defense continued to play hard in the second quarter of play as the scoring slowed down. The Lady Dinos still had a six point lead going into the break.
Since all the marbles were on the table and the loser would be done for the season, play was physical and intense. Judge stayed in the game by hitting at the line. Both teams racked up the fouls as the contact continued.
Carbon regained the eight-point edge as the third period of play wrapped up. The fourth quarter was anybody's game as Judge pounded back in the game.
The Dinos got cold and the lead slipped to three points late in the game. Judge had their full-court press going and Carbon was unable to move the ball onto their side of the court.
In the final minutes, Tabby Cummins found a wide open Danielle Martino for an easy layup. A couple of freethrows gave Carbon the breathing space they needed.
A freshman, Julia Potts, came off the bench to lead in scoring with 14 points.
Both teams ran into foul trouble at the end of the game. Three players from each team, a total of six, ended up out of the game before its conclusion.
The Lady Dinos, now 13-9, travels to Ogden's Dee Events Center for their next matchup. They meet with Canyon View High School (21-1) on Thursday with a 4:10 p.m. tipoff.

Kidney and Urologic Diseases
There are many organizations who provide support for patients and medical professionals. View the full list of Kidney and Urologic Disease Organizations. (PDF, 345 KB)
Renal artery stenosis is the narrowing of one or both renal arteries. "Renal" means "kidney" and "stenosis" means "narrowing." The renal arteries are blood vessels that carry blood to the kidneys from the aorta—the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to arteries throughout the body.
RVH is high blood pressure caused by RAS. Blood pressure is written with two numbers separated by a slash, 120/80, and is said as "120 over 80." The top number is called the systolic pressure and represents the pressure as the heart beats and pushes blood through the blood vessels. The bottom number is called the diastolic pressure and represents the pressure as blood vessels relax between heartbeats. A person's blood pressure is considered normal if it stays at or below 120/80. High blood pressure is a systolic pressure of 140 or above or a diastolic pressure of 90 or above.1
1James PA, Oparil S, Carter BL, et al. 2014 evidence-based guideline for the management of high blood pressure in adults—report from the panel members appointed to the Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8). The Journal of the American Medical Association. Published online December 18, 2013.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the two kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs.
About 90 percent of RAS is caused by atherosclerosis—clogging, narrowing, and hardening of the renal arteries.2 In these cases, RAS develops when plaque—a sticky substance made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other material found in the blood—builds up on the inner wall of one or both renal arteries. Plaque buildup is what makes the artery wall hard and narrow.
Most other cases of RAS are caused by fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD)—the abnormal development or growth of cells on the renal artery walls—which can cause blood vessels to narrow. Rarely, RAS is caused by other conditions.
In most cases of RAS, plaque builds up on the inner wall of one or both renal arteries.
2Plouin PF, Bax L. Diagnosis and treatment of renal artery stenosis. Nature Reviews Nephrology. 2010;6:151–159.
People at risk for artherosclerosis are also at risk for RAS. Risk factors for RAS caused by artherosclerosis include
The risk factors for RAS caused by FMD are unknown, but FMD is most common in women and people 25 to 50 years of age.3 FMD can affect more than one person in a family, indicating that it may be caused by an inherited gene.
3NINDS fibromuscular dysplasia information page. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke website. www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/fibromuscular_dysplasia/fibromuscular_dysplasia.htm. Updated June 23, 2011. Accessed April 11, 2012.
In many cases, RAS has no symptoms until it becomes severe.
The signs of RAS are usually either high blood pressure or decreased kidney function, or both, but RAS is often overlooked as a cause of high blood pressure. RAS should be considered as a cause of high blood pressure in people who
Symptoms of a significant decrease in kidney function include
People with RAS are at increased risk for complications resulting from loss of kidney function or atherosclerosis occurring in other blood vessels, such as
RAS can lead to kidney failure, described as end-stage renal disease when treated with blood-filtering treatments called dialysis or a kidney transplant, though this is uncommon in people who receive ongoing treatment for RAS.
A health care provider can diagnose RAS by listening to the abdomen with a stethoscope and performing imaging tests. When blood flows through a narrow artery, it sometimes makes a whooshing sound, called a bruit. The health care provider may place a stethoscope on the front or the side of the abdomen to listen for this sound. The absence of this sound, however, does not exclude the possibility of RAS.
In some cases, RAS is found when a person has a test for another reason. For example, a health care provider may find RAS during a coronary angiogram for diagnosis of heart problems. A coronary angiogram is a procedure that uses a special dye, called contrast medium, and x rays to see how blood flows through the heart.
The following imaging tests are used to diagnose RAS:
Treatment for RAS includes lifestyle changes, medications, and surgery and aims to
RAS that has not led to RVH or caused a significant blockage of the artery may not need treatment. RAS that needs to be treated, also called critical RAS, is defined by the American Heart Association as a reduction by more than 60 percent in the diameter of the renal artery.1 However, health care providers are not exactly sure what degree of blockage will cause significant problems.
The first step in treating RAS is making lifestyle changes that promote healthy blood vessels throughout the body, including the renal arteries. The best ways to keep plaque from building up in the arteries are to exercise, maintain a healthy body weight, and choose healthy foods. People who smoke should quit to help protect their kidneys and other internal organs.
People with RVH may need to take medications that—when taken as prescribed by their health care provider—lower blood pressure and can also significantly slow the progression of kidney disease. Two types of blood pressure-lowering medications, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), have proven effective in slowing the progression of kidney disease. Many people require two or more medications to control their blood pressure. In addition to an ACE inhibitor or an ARB, a diuretic—a medication that helps the kidneys remove fluid from the blood—may be prescribed. Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and other blood pressure medications may also be needed. Some people with RAS cannot take an ACE inhibitor or ARB due to the effects on the kidneys. People with RAS who are prescribed an ACE inhibitor or ARB should have their kidney function checked within a few weeks of starting the medication.
A cholesterol-lowering medication to prevent plaque from building up in the arteries and a blood-thinner, such as aspirin, to help the blood flow more easily through the arteries may also be prescribed.
Although surgery has been used in the past for treatment of RAS due to atherosclerosis, recent studies have not shown improved outcomes with surgery compared with medication. However, surgery may be recommended for people with RAS caused by FMD or RAS that does not improve with medication. Different types of surgery for RAS include the following. The procedures are performed in a hospital by a vascular surgeon—a doctor who specializes in repairing blood vessels. Anesthesia is needed.
Limiting intake of fats, cholesterol, sodium, and sugar can help prevent atherosclerosis, which can lead to RAS. Most sodium in the diet comes from salt. A healthy diet that prevents people from becoming overweight or obese can also help prevent atherosclerosis. People with RAS that has caused decreased kidney function should limit their intake of protein, cholesterol, sodium, and potassium to slow the progression of kidney failure. For more information about nutrition for CKD, see Nutrition for Early Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults and Nutrition for Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults. People should talk with their health care provider about what diet is right for them.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports research into many kinds of kidney disease, including RAS. Researchers supported by the NIDDK have completed a study exploring ways to improve the diagnosis of this disease using new MRA techniques that provide more information about blood flow to the kidneys and how well the kidneys are functioning. The study results will point the way to more effective treatments for RAS and healthy kidneys. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Evaluating Kidney Function study was funded under National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trial number NCT00006173.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute is also funding a clinical study comparing the efficacy of medication alone and medication with angioplasty and stenting for treatment of RAS. More information about the Benefits of Medical Therapy Plus Stenting for Renal Artherosclerotic Lesions (CORAL) study, funded under NIH clinical trial number NCT00081731, can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00081731.
Clinical trials are research studies involving people. Clinical trials look at safe and effective new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. Researchers also use clinical trials to look at other aspects of care, such as improving the quality of life for people with chronic illnesses.

St. Lawrence County Legislator Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, was chosen at a Democratic caucus Thursday for nomination to become the chairman of the Board of Legislators in 2013.
Mr. Putney is in his third year on the board.
Democrats nominated Legislator Donald A. Peck, R-Gouverneur, for vice chairman.
Mr. Peck changed his party registration from Republican to Democrat in November but it does not become effective until after the general election in 2013. Mr. Peck is in his seventh year on the board after serving for a number of years as Gouverneur supervisor.
With Mr. Pecks switch, Democrats have a 9-6 majority. Legislators will choose a chairman and vice chairman at their organizational meeting Wednesday.

commercial property for rent or lease in Hazelwood (MO), Industrial Space For Lease.
Hazelwood (MO) commercial real estate for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Hazelwood industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Hazelwood warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Some Hazelwood commercial businesses may be more productive and efficient if they have adequate office area. In some areas the monthly lease on such Hazelwood areas can very often make up a substantial amount of a small company's budget. Sometimes its feasible to share facilities like conference rooms with other Hazelwood tenants, to reduce costs. Consider different options before taking out a long-term lease on a large workplace when the possibility may exist that your Hazelwood business could outgrow the areas quickly. Consider short-term rentals for companies that are growing and in transition.
While leasing may be short term, less risky, and less expensive than purchasing Hazelwood commercial real estate, signing a lease is still a binding and legal document. Seek legal advice before beginning your search for real estate, an experienced attorney in Hazelwood real estate law can help you to avoid signing a contract that may be signing you up for un-necessary expenses and liability that could potential harm business. If you lack time to scout and negotiate contract terms, a broker in Hazelwood may be a worthy asset to use.
Your long term Hazelwood business plan and real estate commitment should be aligned as most real estate leases and investments are long in duration. Business leaders need to anticipate future growth and requirements of the Hazelwood business to be positioned for the best and worst possible scenarios. Define the space you need and make sure the area can be designed to incorporate all your requirements. Will the layout satisfy Hazelwood employee expectations and will any possible employee relocation, or commute, to a new venue be achieved to everyones satisfaction. Consider proximity to Hazelwood facilities and amenities such as shopping, health care, childcare, etc.

POTSDAM Scores of irate property owners packed the town hall Tuesday to protest the reassessment notifications they received over the weekend.
Residential property assessment values are set to go up an average of 13 percent in the first town-wide reevaluation in five years, according to town Assessor James P. Snyder, but most of those at Tuesdays Town Council meeting complained of much higher hikes.
The crowd of about 100 was noisy as the meeting began. Some called for the resignation of Mr. Snyder, to scattered applause.
The town board listened to public comments in silence for the most part, answering the occasional question. By the end of the night, however, the board agreed to increase the appointment hours for property owners to meet with Mr. Snyder.
The first recourse for those unhappy with their assessment is to schedule an informal 15-minute meeting with Mr. Snyder. Residents were informed that these meetings would take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 15 through 19 and 22 through 26. This drew criticism from some, who said they could not get away from their jobs during work hours.
The board agreed to expand those hours to include evenings and weekends. The expanded schedule will be made available soon.
Most of those who stood up to complain argued that the assessments are too high to fairly reflect the economic reality. The value of a property is supposed to be determined by the amount it could be sold for, but many argued that this is not the case in Potsdam.
The amount of the assessment had no relation, to my mind, to market value, said Milner Grimsled, who saw the assessed value of his property jump from $96,000 to $120,000.
If anyone wants to buy my home for $120,000, meet me afterwards, cut me a check, he said.
Mr. Snyder said he knows he is not infallible, but said he is confident in his assessments and in the knowledge that any mistakes will be corrected soon. The majority of assessments, he said, accurately reflect property value despite the complaints.
A lot of people didnt mention what they are trying to sell their property for, he said.
Assessed value is not directly related to taxes. The value is set by the assessor alone, regardless of the budgetary needs of any municipality. A rising assessment does not necessarily mean higher taxes, depending on the spending set by municipalities.
However, many at the meeting feared that the town, county and school districts would take advantage of the reassessment by increasing spending, to take the bigger tax base into account.
I dont know how retired people can live and have a home in this area with taxes going up the way they are, said Walter Theobald.
Those whose assessment went up by well over the average have the most cause for concern, since they will be responsible for a larger portion of the overall tax levy.
Many said the current situation echoed the last reassessment, in 2008, which was equally unpopular. The assessor at that time was Kim G. Bisonette, who resigned in 2011.
They say the grass is always greener on the other side, said Tracey Haggett-Sloan, president of the Town of Potsdam Taxpayers Association. Kims starting to look pretty good right now.
Dont make the same mistakes you made four or five years ago, Potsdam resident John Burke told the town board.
Mr. Snyder said he understands peoples concerns, but he does not worry too much about the threats to his job.
Unemployment in St. Lawrence County is 12 percent right now. Im fortunate enough to have a job nobody else wants, and I dont think thats changed after tonight, he joked.
Potsdam residents will not see the effect of the reassessment on their tax bill until Septembers school district tax is due.
The tentative tax roll will be filed on May 1. Mr. Snyder can continue to make changes to the roll as needed until May 28, when unsatisfied property owners can go before the Board of Assessment Review for formal grievance hearings. The roll will be finalized on July 1.

This week web giant Google, telecom firm T-Mobile and electronics manufacturer HTC unveiled the first mobile phone to use the new 'Android' platform. The device, named the G1, has features that put it head to head against Apple's popular iPhone, including a touch screen and extensive integration with online applications. Unlike the iPhone, however, the platform is open for use by multiple phone developers. Android was initially backed by Google, and later by the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of 34 different companies.
The T-Mobile G1 phone is planned to be available in late October. We'll talk about the phone, what it can do, and why some developers and gadget enthusiasts are interested in the Android platform.

17 U.S. Code § 113 - Scope of exclusive rights in pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the exclusive right to reproduce a copyrighted pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work in copies under section 106 includes the right to reproduce the work in or on any kind of article, whether useful or otherwise.
(b) This title does not afford, to the owner of copyright in a work that portrays a useful article as such, any greater or lesser rights with respect to the making, distribution, or display of the useful article so portrayed than those afforded to such works under the law, whether title 17 or the common law or statutes of a State, in effect on December 31, 1977, as held applicable and construed by a court in an action brought under this title.
(c) In the case of a work lawfully reproduced in useful articles that have been offered for sale or other distribution to the public, copyright does not include any right to prevent the making, distribution, or display of pictures or photographs of such articles in connection with advertisements or commentaries related to the distribution or display of such articles, or in connection with news reports.
(1) In a case in which—
(A) a work of visual art has been incorporated in or made part of a building in such a way that removing the work from the building will cause the destruction, distortion, mutilation, or other modification of the work as described in section 106A (a)(3), and
(B) the author consented to the installation of the work in the building either before the effective date set forth in section 610(a) of the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, or in a written instrument executed on or after such effective date that is signed by the owner of the building and the author and that specifies that installation of the work may subject the work to destruction, distortion, mutilation, or other modification, by reason of its removal,
(2) If the owner of a building wishes to remove a work of visual art which is a part of such building and which can be removed from the building without the destruction, distortion, mutilation, or other modification of the work as described in section 106A (a)(3), the author's rights under paragraphs (2) and (3) of section 106A (a) shall apply unless—
(A) the owner has made a diligent, good faith attempt without success to notify the author of the owner's intended action affecting the work of visual art, or
(B) the owner did provide such notice in writing and the person so notified failed, within 90 days after receiving such notice, either to remove the work or to pay for its removal.
For purposes of subparagraph (A), an owner shall be presumed to have made a diligent, good faith attempt to send notice if the owner sent such notice by registered mail to the author at the most recent address of the author that was recorded with the Register of Copyrights pursuant to paragraph (3). If the work is removed at the expense of the author, title to that copy of the work shall be deemed to be in the author.
(3) The Register of Copyrights shall establish a system of records whereby any author of a work of visual art that has been incorporated in or made part of a building, may record his or her identity and address with the Copyright Office. The Register shall also establish procedures under which any such author may update the information so recorded, and procedures under which owners of buildings may record with the Copyright Office evidence of their efforts to comply with this subsection.
Source(Pub. L. 94–553, title I, § 101,Oct. 19, 1976, 90 Stat. 2560; Pub. L. 101–650, title VI, § 604,Dec. 1, 1990, 104 Stat. 5130.)
Historical and Revision Notes
house report no. 94–1476
Section 113 deals with the extent of copyright protection in "works of applied art." The section takes as its starting point the Supreme Court's decision in Mazer v. Stein, 347 U.S. 201 (1954) [74 S.Ct. 460, 98 L.Ed. 630, rehearing denied 74 S.Ct. 637, 347 U.S. 949, 98 L.Ed. 1096], and the first sentence of subsection (a) restates the basic principle established by that decision. The rule of Mazer, as affirmed by the bill, is that copyright in a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work will not be affected if the work is employed as the design of a useful article, and will afford protection to the copyright owner against the unauthorized reproduction of his work in useful as well as nonuseful articles. The terms "pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works" and "useful article" are defined in section 101, and these definitions are discussed above in connection with section 102.
The broad language of section 106(1) and ofsubsection (a) ofsection 113 raises questions as to the extent of copyright protection for a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work that portrays, depicts, or represents an image of a useful article in such a way that the utilitarian nature of the article can be seen. To take the example usually cited, would copyright in a drawing or model of an automobile give the artist the exclusive right to make automobiles of the same design?
The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights stated, on the basis of judicial precedent, that "copyright in a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, portraying a useful article as such, does not extend to the manufacture of the useful article itself," and recommended specifically that "the distinctions drawn in this area by existing court decisions" not be altered by the statute. The Register's Supplementary Report, at page 48, cited a number of these decisions, and explained the insuperable difficulty of finding "any statutory formulation that would express the distinction satisfactorily." Section 113 (b) reflects the Register's conclusion that "the real need is to make clear that there is no intention to change the present law with respect to the scope of protection in a work portraying a useful article as such."
Section 113 (c) provides that it would not be an infringement of copyright, where a copyright work has been lawfully published as the design of useful articles, to make, distribute or display pictures of the articles in advertising, in feature stories about the articles, or in the news reports.
In conformity with its deletion from the bill of Title II, relating to the protection of ornamental designs of useful articles, the Committee has deleted subsections (b), (c), and (d) ofsection 113 of S. 22 as adopted by the Senate, since they are no longer relevant.

what a fantastic product, I use it to ease the pain in my back and knee for Osteo Arthritis, as well as my fingers. I am almost pain free, day and night. Have been using it on my clients as well. I can highly recommend this product...
I purchased this in the small bottle about 2 weeks ago and hadn't taken the time out to use it on a client yet, but I had a specific request for lavender last night and pulled this out to use. The glide was PERFECT and the smell was absolutely intoxicating. I wish everyone would go for the aromatherapy oils, just so I could smell them all day at work. I will be ordering this again, and their other scents as well since the glide was so amazing. Thank you!
THis product is amazing. It smells wonderful of lavender and i rarely use much per client. a handful or two max. ITs very potent and the aroma just melts every client and makes them feel sleepy and relaxed. I have two clients who have asked me if they could purchase this product for everyday use.My male and female clients absolutely rave about this product. the skin absorbs it very well and they leave it on all day to enhance the feeling of goodness and relaxation!

We want Rapportive to be the best way to understand and connect with your contacts. We also want lots of people to use Rapportive. As we advance on both fronts, something else is happening as a result: Rapportive is becoming an important place to cultivate your brand.
When people email you, they'll see your Rapportive profile. What do you want them to see?
We want you to be in control. To see and edit your Rapportive profile, just click "my profile" at the bottom of any Rapportive sidebar. Here you can change what people see when they email you.
This approach has worked well so far, but it doesn't cover all cases. For example, many people have more than one email address (I personally use four). If you have multiple addresses, editing your profile like this would change what is shown for your Gmail address, but would not change what is shown for your other addresses. Today, this changes.
You can now edit the profiles for all your email addresses. Click "Claim your email addresses" in the Rapportive menu at the top of Gmail, and follow the instructions. (If the option doesn't appear, please reload your Gmail tab.)
After you've claimed an email address, you can edit its profile whenever it shows in Rapportive: just hover over the parts you want to change.

SF State Garden of Remembrance Honors Nisei Students
Garden of Remembrance at San Francisco State
University honors SFSU students interned during WWII.
October 1, 2009
By Clara Potes-Fellow
The Garden of Remembrance at San Francisco State University honors the 19 students of Japanese ancestry who were removed from their classes under U.S. military and government orders and forced to live in camps during World War II. It was dedicated in 2002, four years after SF State recognized the students as honored alumni at the University's annual commencement.
To honor the students, SFSU created the Gardens of Remembrance -- a quiet courtyard with ten large boulders that represent the internment camps and a waterfall that represents energy renewal and the return to home.
The gardens are the focus of special attention now that the CSU is granting special honorary degrees to all Japanese American students enrolled at CSU campuses during the year 1941-1942 who were unable to complete their college degree as a result of their relocation in internment camps.
The gardens were designed by Japanese American artist Ruth Asawa, who was a camp internee herself. A plaque provides historical information about the Japanese American relocation and honors in perpetuity those students forced to leave the SFSU campus.
