Behind the billions are jobs: $2.4 billion in annual economic impact, 16,000 wage earners — that's the Chickasaw Nation's impact on the Oklahoma economy, a study says.
Oklahoma gains more than gaming from Chickasaw Nation, study shows
Behind the jobs? Growing diversity.
More than gaming is fueling Chickasaw growth, according to the study, "Estimating the Oklahoma Economic Impact of the Chickasaw Nation," by the Steven C. Agee Economic Research and Policy Institute at Oklahoma City University.
Gaming did account for 91.5 percent of Chickasaw Nation business revenue of $1.39 billion last year — from 17 gaming centers led by Riverwind Casino in Norman and WinStar World Casino in Thackerville.
But the tribe, based in Ada, also had interests in banking, health care and other professional services, led by Chickasaw Banc Holding Co., which operates Bank2 in Oklahoma City, and Chickasaw Nation Industries, which provides services for state, federal and private clients. Chickasaw businesses also include manufacturing, tourism and energy.
Further, the tribe's direct payroll came to $318 million — $525 million counting spinoff jobs — and the Chickasaw Nation paid $119 million for goods and services from Oklahoma. Chickasaw Nation government spending came to $129 million in 2011, the study found.
Significant findings
The study's findings "are nothing short of impressive, and they show that the Chickasaw Nation's economic activities and enterprises strongly bolster the state economy," said Kyle Dean, associate director and research economist at the OCU Meinders School of Business.
"Through its diversified enterprises, the study underscores that the Chickasaw Nation has become an integral part of Oklahoma's overall economy and is now among the top employers and purchasers of goods and services in the state."
Many tribal interests
Oklahoma Commerce Secretary Dave Lopez said the study drew together the Chickasaw Nation's diverse enterprises in a way that is hard to ignore. He spoke of the tribe as a single employer with numerous subsidiaries.
"For us, it puts a face on an employer that sometimes gets overlooked," Lopez said, pointing out that the tribe and its business combined comprise one of the state's largest employers, with more than 10,000 direct employees working for enterprises that support another 6,000.
Those 10,000-plus Chickasaw Nation employees work in more than 60 different businesses, noted Bill Lance, CEO of the Chickasaw Nation's Division of Commerce.
"We are focused on growing our existing businesses and investing in new ventures with strong revenue and growth potential," Lance said, mentioning investment in a high-tech medical device with a California company and expansion at Bedre, the Chickasaw-owned chocolate factory in Pauls Valley.

This was surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much. Very easy and a great side dish.flag if inappropriate
THIS WAS EASY TO MAKE N MY FAMILY LOVED IT.flag if inappropriate
Made this dish just last night to go with the Parmesean Chicken from the same issue. We enjoyed it - I will cut down on the lemon zest just a bit next time. What a refreshing combination of flavors.flag if inappropriate
This recipe is very similar to Spaghetti Limoncello(Gourmet 11/97)which is delicious. That recipe also includes anchovies, a nice addition, and less olive oil. The dish is easy and delicious, and makes a great side dish for Chilean sea bass. Highly recommended.flag if inappropriate
Since my wife is allergic to wheat products I decided to use spaghetti squash in lieu of the pasta. It turned out great! Microwaved a small spaghetti squash and cut the remaining ingredients by half. Was sensational with the Chicken w/ tomatoes and olives. Also condusive to preparing ahead of time and reheating right before serving. I'll do it again.flag if inappropriate

FFT or Fast Fourier Transform is the easiest way to distinguish the frequencies of multiple signals. The FFT method using Microsoft Excel can be effectively used to solve differential equations as well as for compressing audio, video and image files. The Data Analysis pack included in the Excel program can be used to create graphs demonstrating the frequencies of a signal. You can contact Microsoft help team for your clarifications regarding the Data Analysis. You have to enable this tool first as it is disabled by default.
Instructions to calculate FFT using Microsoft Excel:
- First thing you need to perform is, enable the Data Analysis pack on your Microsoft Excel program. Select the Office button and then click on Options. Select Add-In from the list and mark Analysis ToolPack and hit Go button. Perform the same procedure in the next window as well.
- Create a new spreadsheet file in Excel. Set the Column A with Time title and column B with Data, FFT frequency, FFT complex and FFT magnitude.
- Now you need to enter the details of your sample signal into your data field and the sampling rate used.
- You can determine the time at which each data point was selected in the time column by diving the time with the data points.
- Now navigate to the Data tab and choose Data Analysis. Now you should select Fourier Analysis from the list of options and press Ok to continue. Use the information in the data column as the input range and FFT complex as the Output column.
- Now set the column F data from column A. With the equation "=(S/2)/ (N/2)", create a new cell where S is the sampling rate and N is the number of samples.
- Navigate to the first cell of the FTT Frequency column and enter the equation "=F2*SG$4," which will drag the equation to halfway.
- Now use the FTT Frequency column as the x-axis and FTT Magnitude column as the y-axis, to plot the graph for your input signal. This graph can be used to display the frequency peaks.
We hope you are clear with the instructions. Contact Microsoft help support team if the above method of calculating Fast Fourier transform didn't work out for you. Thank you for visiting and have a good day!Google+

Meet Ned
Ned in a hallway
Say hello to Ned, a new face here at Carilion Clinic Children's Hospital. A kid at heart, Ned loves meeting kids and parents and guiding them through their stay to help them know what to expect when they visit our hospital.
In addition to using his wheels, Ned can get around by plugging in and jumping from one machine to another, traveling through the hospital's vast electrical system to go from floor to floor, room to room faster than any doctor! Being so plugged in, he knows what's going on with each patient, and he has a great way of explaining treatments in a kid–friendly way that anyone can understand.
Ned is good friends with all of the high–tech machines in the hospital, from large X–ray machines to small handheld devices, so he can explain to kids what these devices do and how they work. Those clunking noises the MRI makes? Just ask Ned, he can tell you all about it.
You'll be seeing more and more of Ned as he makes his way throughout the Children's Hospital, our local offices, and even events throughout the Valley. So make sure to say hello — he'll be happy to see you.

Just a quick note…the European gives G.R. gradually warming high temps. with the coldest day on Sunday. It's a slow climb, but the Euro. has our next 50 on March 29 (which would be an average high) and then 58 on Sunday the 30th. Too far out to make be certain, but the averages go up at the fastest rate between now and the end of April and the additional sunshine will eventually show Old Man Winter the door.

SimEvents Entity Animation in 3D
23 May 2011
The demo uses one possible implementation of hooking up a SimEvents model with 3D animation using Simulink 3D Animation.
A simple model of an entity generation is created in SimEvents. This entity generation is sampled in time to establish synchronism between the 3D objects created dynamically inside the Simulink 3D Animation environment and the SimEvents model.
The attribute functions are used to randomly select the color of the balls thereby modeling two dimensional randomized events in the system (entity generation and their color in time)
The 3D spheres that are created on the "fly" uses the PROTO definitions of similar objects contained in the "vrmarkers.wrl" file that ships with Simulink 3D Animation.

NIGERIA and other ECOWAS member states on Sunday announced a decision to send their war plan against Mali Islamists to the United Nations.
At the centre of the war plan is putting on stand-by 3,300 soldiers to help recapture northern Mali.
The troops will mostly come from Nigeria, Niger, and Burkina Faso, but other West African countries and two or three non-African states may also contribute forces, Ivorien President Alassane Quattara reportedly told journalists on Sunday after leaders of the ECOWAS countries met in Abuja.
Ouattara, who is the current chairman of ECOWAS, said there was no longer ambiguity concerning the force deployment as decisions have been reached on the logistics.
He said the troops could be deployed as soon as UN approved the plan which he said was drawn up by experts in Bamako, Mali's capital city.
Reuters reports quoted a Malian army sources as saying that the plan covers a period of six months with a phase meant to train the soldiers and establish bases in Mali's South, and to be followed by combat operations in the northern region of the country.
The UN Security Council had given the African leaders 45 days from October 12 to draw up plan for military intervention to save northern Mali from Islamists.
The leaders reached the decision after validating the harmonised concept of operations for the Africa- led International
The ECOWAS leaders also considered recommendations made by the Mediation and Security Council, which was made up of Ministers of Foreign Affairs as well as their Defence counterparts.
President of the ECOWAS Commission, Kadre Ouedraogo, read the communiqué by all the leaders who attended the meeting soon after the meeting ended.
He said, "Authority reiterates that dialogue remains the preferred option in the resolution of the political crisis in Mali.
"However, regarding the security situation, recourse to force may be indispensable in order to dismantle terrorist and transnational criminal networks that pose a threat to international peace and security.
"Summit reiterates its instruction to the Commission to maintain the stand-by force in a high state of readiness for immediate deployment, and urges Member states to concretise their commitments to provide military and logistic contributions to the ECOWAS military efforts.
"Authority decides to adopt the harmonised concept of operations for the deployment of the African-led international force in Mali and requests the Peace and Security Council of the African Union to endorse the concept and ensure its transmission, together with the Strategic Concept, to the United Nations Secretary General within the deadline stipulated in Resolution 2071.
"It urges the UN Security Council to examine the concept with a view to authorizing the deployment of the international military force in Mali in conformity with chapter VII of the UN Chapter."
The leaders reiterated an earlier decision to bar the interim president, prime minister and other members of the Transitional Government from participating in next Presidential elections in Mali and Guinea Bissau.
President Goodluck Jonathan in his welcome address said that the deployment must be done to avert costly consequences on the sub-region in particular and the African continent in general.
He said, "Guinea Bissau and Mali need our help to stabilise and recover lost grounds. The long suffering peoples of Guinea Bissau and Mali will be looking up to us to end their nightmares and open the door of security and prosperity to them. We must not fail them.
"On our part, Nigeria will continue to play her role in close collaboration with other member states and indeed the AU and other members of the international community, until peace and democracy are restored in these countries.
"As leaders of our various countries, we cannot turn a blind eye to potentially destabilising situations in our sub-region. What has been happening in Guinea Bissau and Mali these past several months go against our collective vision of a peaceful, stable and economically prosperous region."
Representative of the UN Secretary General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, at the Summit, Mr. Said Djinnit, said the UN was fully committed to supporting ECOWAS and the AU towards achieving peace and security in Mali.
While urging that the fragile political dispensation in Mali be addressed and transitional process strengthened, Jonathan also asked for full exploration of all avenues for dialogue and negotiation with Malian rebels to prevent the force deployment and its implications.
He called on Malian authorities to urgently set-up the negotiation committee proposed by President Traore on July 29, 2012 to engage in negotiation with the armed and rebel groups in the North of Mali.
He said, "As we move forward, it is important to anticipate without delay some of the challenges ahead in setting up the force, including in terms of force generation, further planning, budgeting and resource mobilisation and finalisation of command and control arrangements to ensure effectiveness of the proposed deployment."
"The key aspects of the protection of human rights and humanitarian access should also be kept in mind in the context of the finalisation of the CONOPS."
The Representative of the African Union to the Summit, Mr. Pierre Buyoya, who is the High Representative of the AU for Mali and the Sahel, said that AU was committed to fighting the menace in Mali since the situation posed a danger to the continent and the international community.
While reacting to the development, National Publicity Secretary of the Congress for Progressive Change called on the Federal Government to tread with caution.
He said, "In the apartheid era, Nigeria had Africa as the centre piece of its foreign policy. Quite rightly so. But times have changed.
"The South Africa that we strove hard and long to free from the shackles of apartheid rule has grown to be a regional power economically, politically and militarily. South Africa's brand of democracy has inherent conferment of sovereignty on the people.
"In Nigeria, sovereignty lies in the hands of those that control the security forces. Nigeria is still grappling with the essence of nationhood. It is time to change our foreign policy thrust to Nigeria-centred.
"Nigerian military is over-stretched because of the festering self-inflicted wounds of the indiscretion of our political leadership. Military operations, as strategic ad hoc reinforcement of the police, are currently in more than 33 states."

Kabanda picked for 2014 World Cup refs
RWANDA'S Fifa/Caf assistant referee Felicien Kabanda has been picked among referees and assistants for the 2014 World Cup by the Fifa Referees Committee meeting in Zurich on Tuesday.
Kabanda has been out nursing a hamstring injury sustained in November, a feat which saw him miss taking charge of the second leg of the African Champions League final between hosts and holders Al Ahly of Egypt and South Africa's Orlando Pirates; Fifa World cup play-off match between hosts Nigeria and Ethiopia and Fifa Club World Cup finals that kicks off in December in Morocco.
However, following his quick recovery, the 42-year old has been picked in the trio of Gambian referee Bakary Papa and another assistant referee from Cameroon Evarist Menkounde.
The Fifa Referees Committee announced the list which comprises 25 referee trios and eight support duos representing 43 different countries for the Mundial.
"The referees selected for the World Cup in Brazil have been chosen based especially on their personality and their quality in football understanding by being able to read the game and the teams' tactical approaches towards each game," stated Fifa.
Nine African officials made it in the referees section with four others making it to the support category.
Europe provides nine of the 25 officiating teams, South America has five, Asia four, Africa and the Concacaf region three each and Oceania one.
The youngest referee chosen is 33-year-old Wilmar Roldan of Colombia, and the oldest is 43-year-old Noumandiez Doue of Ivory Coast.
"FIFA has implemented a comprehensive program to ensure that the referees for its flagship competition are in peak condition," the governing body said in a statement.
A referee and his assistants can still be dropped from duty if they fail a fitness test before the June 12 kickoff.
The selected referees and assistant referees will be followed and monitored regularly during this period, and FIFA is ready to give them all the support they need so that they can prepare for this important World Cup in the best possible manner.
Just as it did for the 32 participating teams, the road to the 2014 FIFA World Cup began for an initial group of 52 trios of referees from all over the world in September 2011 when FIFA took the important decision to create a refereeing project.
One of the key objectives was match control and consequently to prepare this group of prospective referees for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
The referees selected for the World Cup in Brazil have been chosen based especially on their personality and their quality in football understanding by being able to read the game and the teams' tactical approaches towards each game.
The Full African list:
Referee Doue Noumandiez Desire [Cote d'Ivoire], Assistant 1 Yeo Songuifolo [Cote d'Ivoire], Assistant 2 Birumushahu Jean Claude [Burundi]
Referee Gassama Bakary Papa [Gambia], Assistant 1 Menkouande Evarist [Cameroon], Assistant 2 Kabanda Felicien [Rwanda]
Referee Haimoudi Djamel [Algeria], Assistant 1 Achik Redouane [Morocco], Assistant 2 Etchiali Abdelhak [Algeria]
Referee Alioum Neant [Cameroon], Assistant 1 Camara Djibril [Senegal], Referee Bennett Daniel Frazer [South Africa], Assistant 1 Range Marwa [Kenya]

I've gotten quite a kick the last couple of days out of many people gleefully regurgitating the stat that no team that has started 0-4 (or, of course 0-5) has ever gone on to win the World Series. While that's an interesting statistical quirk, that's exactly what it is. Yankee fans are having an especially good time yukking it up over the fact that their hated rivals, the Red Sox, preseason favorites in pretty much everyone's book, have yet to win a game. While it's not really a good thing to lose five games in a row, ultimately, during the regular season, it doesn't matter when those five losses occur. Just for fun, let's look at some recent World Series champions, and whether or not they lost five in a row at some point during the season.
Working backwards, let's start with the 2010 Giants. A quick look at their season results shows that they lost five in a row from May 19 through May 23, and expanding by two games on either side of that skid, they lost seven of nine. Later in the season, from June 26 through July 2, they lost a whopping seven in a row, and again expanding by two games on either side, lost nine of eleven (going back one game earlier, they lost as well, so that's ten of twelve). Granted they clinched their playoff berth on the last day of the season, so perhaps that explains some of it. Let's go back a little further.
The 2009 Yankees won 103 games, and won the AL East by a comfortable 8 games. From May 2 through May 7, the Yankees lost five in a row, and expanding by the next four games, lost seven of nine. They would go on to lose four of five and then five of six (separate groups of games) before the end of June. Let's keep going.
The 2008 Phillies lost six in a row from June 17 through June 24, and lost two of the three games on either side of that. They would also lose four in a row in the first week of July, four in a row (and five of six) in mid August, before losing just eight the rest of the season. Are we noticing a pattern here?
The 2007 Red Sox actually didn't lose five in a row at any point, though they did lose four in a row from June 3 through June 6, which was the tail end of a stretch where they lost six of seven. They would also lose six of eight, and four of five twice before the end of July. They would again lose four in a row in August, and again in September. Just so we have a nice sample of five teams, let's go back one more season.
The 2006 Cardinals made it all the way to June 20 before losing more than four games in a row (although they did lose four in a row in early May). Starting on June 20, they would lose a whopping eight in a row, followed by losing two of the next three. Starting on July 27, they would again lose eight in a row. On September 20, the Cardinals had a healthy seven game lead in the NL Central. By September 26, that lead was a scant 1.5 games, as they lost seven in a row.
I'm not trying to say that protracted losing streaks are in any way a good thing. I'm merely trying to show that over the course of 162 games, they do happen, even to the best teams (yes, I realize that Cardinals teams won only 83 games, but this whole thing started about winning the World Series, remember?). Today is only April 7, and the Red Sox have 157 games left, the majority of which are against teams in their division, which is currently led by Baltimore and Toronto, two teams nobody picked to do anything this year. The first five games of a season are no more predictive than any random five game sample throughout the season, they just stand out more. So let's put the shovels away, and not bury them just yet.

NEW YORK - A scientific study released information saying working out a little less may benefit you more.
Published in Exercise and Science in Sports & Medicine, the research suggests taking a more leisurely approach to scheduling workouts may be more beneficial than hitting the gym daily.
The University of Alabama researched focused on sedentary women between age 60 and 74. They divided them into three groups: One worked out two times a week, one worked out four times a week and the last one worked out six times a week.

Porchetta & Co.
Porchetta & Co. is a carnivore's dream. On a cold wintery day, venturing here is akin to walking into a bacon-scented sauna. The tiny restaurant welcomes its patrons with steamy windows, a rustic decor and piping hot meat.
The menu is as diminutive as the venue's five-person capacity: pork on a bun or pork in a plate, plus a handful of side dishes. But the simplicity is misleading - meticulously prepared, Porchetta's fares are far from typical.
For good measure, we choose to sample each main dish - the Porchetta Plate with baked romano beans as the selected side ($8.95) and the Porchetta Sandwich ($5,.95) topped with an order of braised rapini ($0.75).
As our meat is dished out, we inquire about its preparation. We are told the process begins with pork selected from Beretta Organic Farms, which is then marinated for 24 hours. The butterflied pork shoulders are then wrapped in salty prosciutto and covered in pork belly; the fleshy creation is then roasted, slow cooked, and served.
We manage to claim two vintage metal stools and set our plates down on a reclaimed wood table. In front of us is an array of mustards and hot sauce, which we excitedly dig into. As we begin to eat, I overhear the server telling a customer that one's first Porchetta experience is better if the meat is eaten "straight up," no toppings. Too late for us.
The Porchetta Plate consists of a stack of meat and a considerable portion of baked beans. The meat is incredibly rich, each sliver lined with salty, buttery fat. The beans are hearty, slightly sweet and generously meaty.
The Porchetta sandwich is simply described as "perfect," with hunks of glistening meat between fresh sourdough bread from the nearby Caldense bakery. The braised rapini gives it a bitter but tasty kick.
As we eat, throngs of people flow in and out, grabbing lunch to go. Despite the cold and the constantly open door, the heat emanating from the kitchen keeps the restaurant warm and cozy.
For "dessert," we try a small portion of the split pea and ham hock soup ($3.95). It is thick and flavourful and undoubtedly a perfect (and perfectly Canadian) option for the cold weather. However, our meat-induced coma has kicked in and we are unable to finish.
Porchetta and Co. is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Great photos though. Vegetarians are terribly unserious people.
So... condescension fail?
My 62 year old mother can figure out conundrums such as this. So should any other non-senile person.
thanks for your help curmudgeons.
You'd think traditionally slow cooked pork would be a definite win, but not today.
Daily Sandwich rating: 2.5/5. Maybe I missed out by avoiding the toppings, but I wanted to see what all the fuss is about. Apparently not much.
I'd try it again but if it doesn't take me to Porcine heaven, we've got to break up.
The portions seem a little skimpy but you can order a larger portion for a few more bucks (totally worth it).
F-you Porchetta & Co.

Guns and children
Shooting sports teach discipline
In my home we have a great respect for firearms and their appropriate uses. We participate in local 4H and Boy Scout programs that have shooting sports available. As a rule in our home we have spoken with our boys about the guns. They have shot them and have cleaned them. One of my boys feels uncomfortable with guns and that is ok us. We do not make him participate in our family shoots but he does have family training around the guns. I think it has been helpful for our boys to know (who are now 11 & 13) that we want to know from them if they ever see a gun out when it shouldn't be like at school, playground, or even at a friends home. We never show off our guns or casually play with them and only get them out when we are shooting. Each member of the family has completed a hunter safety course. Too often children are exposed to guns in a fictitious way mostly in video games. First person shooter games give the player no accountability one the trigger is pulled. Games are played with no though of what is beyond the target or even what the target actually is. It has been my experience that shooting sports with actual and appropriate firearms teach kids accountability for their firearm actions. I feel terrible for the victims associated with shootings. Anyone can pull a trigger and point a gun but not everyone understands the responsibility and accountability associated with it.

PENDLETON - The exhibit "Remnant," a collaboration between artists Nell Warren and Greg Misarti, is on view now at Pendleton Center for the Arts, 214 N. Main St.
The installation-based exhibit is comprised of assembled antiques repurposed into painting presses and machines.
The artists collected old laundry presses, mangles and book presses that both create the artwork and are part of the creation.
The resulting collection is reminiscent of a bizarre studio where the artist has stepped out for a moment, and viewers are able to poke into the inner workings of the process.
The exhibit will run through March 31 and admission to the gallery is free. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday noon to 4 p.m. More information can be found on the Art Center's website, pendletonarts.org or by calling 541-278-9201.

David Mach's Polaris.
David Mach uses found, mass-produced objects to create public art. In this early sculpture called Polaris, exhibited in London in 1983, David used 6000 car tires arranged in the shape of a Polaris submarine.
David's art was intended to protest against nuclear arms race. Someone disagreed, and tried to burn it down. Unfortunately, the man got caught in the flames and burnt to death.

While some people might have hoped for the hottest new toy or latest gadget this holiday season, some people are just hoping stay warm through the cold winter nights.
So Iroquois Middle School eighth-grader Valerie Brooks led an effort to collect sleeping bags from students and faculty members at her school in Niskayuna. On Christmas Eve, she dropped off the 10 donated items with her mother, Helen, to the Salvation Army in Schenectady.
Through a volunteer program at the school, Brooks spent Community Day at the local Salvation Army. Locations are selected for the day by school officials and students get to choose where they want to spend their time. Brooks liked the Salvation Army so much that she continued to volunteer there once a month since September.
I learned to be grateful for what you have because not everyone has it, she said. "Not everyone has a home, not everyone has a nice room, not everyone has a sleeping bag."
Helen Brooks went with her daughter to the Salvation Army, and she said when Social Services Director Mary Rainey thanked the students for volunteering, she also discussed what the Salvation Army provides to the needy. When Helen asked Rainey what she needed, the response was sleeping bags.
"She said she could only give them blankets and that wasn't really effective," Helen said.
Valerie said she wanted to embrace the Christmas spirit and help out those in need.
"That is what Christmas is about helping people out and giving back," she said. "You can see how grateful people are for just the little things like sleeping bags."
Valerie said Rainey talked about how homeless people have only coats and nothing else on which to sleep. Rainey even told a story about an old homeless man who was sleeping under a bridge and someone stole his sleeping bag.

We'll start by rebutting the widespread lies: Personal donations have not been outlawed. The new NGO law marks an attempt to stop European nations from meddling at the core of the Israeli dispute. No other nation has so many other countries meddling in its affairs, taking sides in a prolonged conflict.
According to several expert analysts, some 100 million euros flow to NGOs in Israel annually. That money goes to left-wing, pro-Palestinian organizations operating under the guise of "human rights groups," which effectively means everyone but Jews. Using this money, they tarnish Israel, hammering home the lies of "apartheid," "war crimes," and "racist" and "anti-democratic" laws while trying to force our soldiers and elected officials to stand trial. Even Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, who is against the law, did not go to certain countries fearing she would be sued for "war crimes."
The culprit responsible for funding the propaganda machine whose goal is to break the Jewish, democratic Israel down into a multi-national state is Europe. That very Europe, which has become helpless in the face of the Muslim occupation of its streets, is interfering with Israeli sovereignty over its internecine dispute, siding with Israeli policy's opponents and indirectly supporting those who call for boycotts and those who lend legitimacy to acts of terror against us. That's what this new law is about, not personal donations.
What if Israel had become involved in other ethnic-nationalistic conflicts? What would the British have said if Israel had given money to Scottish separatists struggling to secede from Britain? Would the Brits have stayed mum?
On the one hand, the new law has been emasculated. Most leftist organizations will continue to get massive European funding. Because the issue is Israeli sovereignty, the law cannot just be supported by factions on the Right. Left-wing, moderate Zionist parties also have an interest in stopping foreign countries from interfering and trying to delegitimize Israel.
More than legislation, we should focus on international activities against European countries, speaking openly against the gall and absurdity inherent in jeopardizing our sovereignty and interfering in the conflict in favor of one side, which represents a new kind of European neocolonialism. Only Israel is treated with such unique norms, especially by Europe. Meddling in our affairs impinges on our democratic values and does nothing to advance peace. Why do the Palestinians even try? The Europeans are helping lay the pressure on Israel, mudslinging and supporting boycott movements.
When all is said and done, instead of responding through legislation, we should broaden the purview of conservative Zionist organizations. That would be a substantive answer to the organizations trying to rip us apart.

The definition of chronic alcohol abuse is a prolonged period of recurrent, heavy alcohol use. Alcohol is one of the most widely used and abused drugs. Alcohol is readily available at so many stores that people go to everyday. Since alcohol is legal in the United States many people don't understand the seriousness of alcohol abuse.
One of the main problems with alcohol is that it is so socially acceptable that many people don't realize when it is becoming a problem and as a result people begin to chronically abuse alcohol. It has been proven that alcohol in moderation has some medical benefits including lowering the risk of heart disease. The key word there is in moderation and many people don't do it in moderation. Many people abuse alcohol for long periods of time.
Right now alcohol is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States and is responsible for approximately 85,000 deaths annually, about half from injury and half from disease. Alcohol impairs your judgment, which is why half is from injury and half is from disease. The continuing abuse of alcohol is very common and it has become a serious problem.
Causes For Alcohol Abuse
Generally one will turn to alcohol use as a solution to a problem. The problems vary depending on the individual but alcohol seems like a solution for this.
Some will turn to alcohol at first to give them that false sense of confidence. They want to go out and enjoy themselves with their friends. They may be the quiet type, but when they have a few drinks it gives them "liquid courage" to be the life of the party. Everyone wants to be the life of the party. They may love the feeling of fitting in. Loneliness plays a big factor in continuing to abuse alcohol. As humans we just want to be part of something and we may start to believe we are only part of it when drinking.
All these are core problems that alcohol can act as a solution for as well as things like loss, divorce, dealing with the pain of the death etc.
Effects of Chronic Alcohol Abuse
The more one uses alcohol the more addicted they will be come and the more problems will result because of the use. The effects of chronic alcohol abuse affect all of the main vital organs. Chronic alcohol abuse affects the nervous system in a few different ways. The chronic abuse of alcohol causes sleep disturbances, so sleep quality is diminished.
One may feel some numbness and tingling in their arms or legs. Also, they may begin to lose some of their memory and it affects new learning as well. Over time alcohol weakens the immune system significantly. People who are chronic abusers of alcohol are much more at risk for infections and other diseases.
Chronic alcohol abuse also affects the gastrointestinal system causing acid from the stomach to flow back into the esophagus, burning those tissues, and causing severe pain and bleeding. It even affects the heart. Long term abuse of alcohol can result in irregular heartbeats and even blood clots forming in the hearts chambers. Alcohol essentially beats down the whole body over time. It can be a very slow and painful death. Long term abuse can result in liver diseases such as cirrhosis or even liver cancer. As we can see there is a lot of harm done to the body with chronic alcohol abuse.
Solutions Through The Drug Narconon Program
Anyone with a chronic alcohol abuse problem needs help whether it's through NA or the drug Narconon program. Long term, residential treatment is the key to overcoming the problem.
For more information on the Narconon drug program contact us today.

Javapolis: Day 4: Real Time Java
During the keynote of this morning, Someone of Sun (I am sorry, but I don't remember who) speaked about Java and Real Time Application.
Java and Real Time Application ? Not possible, I though. You can't garantee Real Time when you use applications based upon JVM having a Garbage Collector that can suspend your thread at any moment, and for somes time (it may be short, but always too long for Real Time Application).
But, aside the guy, everyone could see a strange machine. Because I have'nt find a photo of that machine, let me try to describe it.
On the table, we could see 2 pc (Sun Solaris machines, and between those two pc, you had I/O Cards.
Each one of those PC were linked to those I/O Cards. Those I/O Cards were connected to something that could move along a rail. That think was in fact a pendule.
But a really strange pendule, because in place of go down, the pendule was up. In fact, the Java application always looked at the angle of the pendule and, when necesary, move the machine left or right along the rail to do some correction and be sure that pendule is always vertical, but in up position. That's the reason why someone called his demo the viagra demo.
When the guy pushed the stick, automatically, the machine moved along the rail to correct the angle, and let the stick well vertically.
He explained that only one PC was controlling the machine. And started the second machine as Backup. When backup machine was launched, he stopped the application that was running on the first machine. And the stick were always well vertically. The second PC take the relay.
Then, he restarts the application on the first PC. At that moment, that application become the backup. And he unplug the cable of the second PC, that was at that moment the master controller of the I/O Card. And the stick continues to be vertically.
Also, I forget to say that other applications were running in the same Virtual Machine on each one of those two PC. And those applications somethimes freezed due to the carbage collector.
I hope that I someone will post a photo somewhere on the web, and that I will be able to add a link here.
And the java application continues to keep the stick vertically during all the time of the next keynote. So, if people are not yet convinced that RT Application can run under the JVM, personally, I am now convinced.
Want to share your experience with RT Java Application ?
Update: Someone take a photo of the machine and publish it on Javapolis. Look at the

Even your fingers barely have to do the walking anymore. Companies that put the world at your fingertips are only too happy to assist today's phone-crazy consumer.
Franchises are particularly drawn to the dial-a-product market. Dial-a-Tile, in Oakhurst, N.J., recently began selling franchises to those interested in peddling ceramic tiles -- "a billion-dollar market with no industry leaders," says founder Robert Ballack. Dial-a-Designated-Driver, in Peninsula, Ohio, provides personal chauffeurs who drive customers' cars for an average of $15 a ride. Home Services Alliance, in Marietta, Ga., has launched 20 home-improvement-and-repair-referral networks within the past nine months.
Several new electronic classifieds also cater to phone-o-philes. Vehicle Information Network (VIN), launched late last year in Westlake, Calif., will fax car shoppers at no charge a qualified list of used cars and trucks through its 800-CAR-SEARCH service. VIN charges individuals a onetime fee of $14.95 to list a car or truck (until it sells), and dealers $795 a month for an unlimited number of listings. Cofounder Mark Brenner projects the company will earn 1993 revenues in excess of $41 million.
Rent Line, in Reseda, Calif., enables customers to look for an apartment armed with nothing more than a touch-tone phone. The 24-hour-a-day service is free for callers; to list a vacancy costs $149 a month. Cofounders John Melideo and Jerry Feldman are taking the whole premise one step further and planning a "community-care line," which will help coordinate the services and funding efforts of community service organizations, shelters, and food banks nationwide.

I bought these mats for a 1965 Impala SS. The look, quality, feel, and embroidered logo were fantastic...just as I would expect from Lloyd Mats. However...whereas I would have preferred them to fit in the floorboard impressions only...they actually fit all the way from console to kick panel covering all carpet in the floorboards. This makes them very functional, but not pleasing to the eye.

A recent ruling by the Maryland Court of Appeals has declared pit bulls and pit mixes inherently dangerous and has left animal advocates and pit bull supporters worried about the future ramifications of the decision for pit bulls and their owners.
The ruling came as a result of an attack on 10-year-old Dominic Solesky in 2007, whose family sued the dog owners landlord, Dorothy M. Tracey in Tracey v. Solesky. The Circuit court threw the case out with the opinion that there was no evidence to prove Tracey had been negligent, but the Court of Appeals overturned the decision.
Judge Clayton Greene Jr., disagreed with the ruling and wrote that "There is no evidence to support the proposition that pit bulls or pit bull mixed-breeds are inherently dangerous" in a dissenting opinion, adding that "It appears that the media has demonized pit bulls as gruesome fighting dogs and has not revealed the long history of pit bulls as family dogs with passive behaviors."
Before this ruling all dogs had to bite once before being declared dangerous and victims of an attack who wanted to file a lawsuit had to prove that the dog's owner or landlord knew the dog had a history of being dangerous. Now, anyone who wants to sue will only need to prove that owners and landlords knew the dog was a pit bull or a pit mix and they will be financially responsible for injuries.
The decision has left many understandably upset. Owners worry that they'll be out a place to live, or that it will be impossible to move thanks to the potential for discrimination and rescues and shelters are concerned about people abandoning and relinquishing more dogs that they won't be able to adopt out because of liability they will now come with, which will lead to killing more innocent dogs, while yet others argue against the plain stupidity of targeting a specific breed and they are speaking out.
"This will not make a community safer," said Pauline Houliaras, president of B-More Dog, which was formed to fight anti-pit bull legislation, who noted that you can't identify a breed based on its appearance alone. You can take the test yourself and try to pick the right one here and here.
The group is now collecting pictures of families with their pit bulls to show legislators that these dogs are "cherished members of the family and shouldn't be discriminated against." On Sunday, there will even be a "Pit Bulls on Parade" event in Baltimore, which will feature both pit bulls and their families and pit bulls who are looking for their forever homes.
Advocates also lobbied Governor Martin O'Malley to introduce legislation that would overturn the decision during last weeks General Assembly session last week with no luck. However, according to Maryland Votes for Animals, Speaker Busch and Senate President Mike Miller were both interested in putting legislation on the agenda for the possible 2nd Special Session that could occur in July, but a spokesperson for the governor said it would not appear on that agenda.
Please sign and share the petition asking Governor Martin O'Malley to stop unfair discrimination and instead focus on promoting humane animal care, tougher laws for animal abusers and education for the public on how to avoid dog bites.

We have the same issue in utah. This discrimination of different types of dogs goes on everywhere. It needs to stop!!!! But will it? I have two pit-bulls one a mix. They were both picked up from the side of busy roads before they were hit; they were both little puppies. One is a mix with boxer. They both are the biggest, cuddly babies you would ever want to meet. And both think they are still lap dogs; I keep trying to explain to the one that is about 110 or 20 pounds that he is a little heavy to be I my lap but I'm sure you know what he thinks about that. They bring great joy. When I look into their faces I'm just glad that they were picked you by us instead of the people that promote dog fighting in this state!! Not much but at least it was two.
Lack of info makes people afraid of pit bulls.
@Jane K: As a vet, I am saddened that you would support such discrimination. It is incredibly disheartening to hear these disturbing myths perpetuated by those who should be defending all creatures. What about GSD, Rotts, pit mixes, mastiffs...? What about the 250+ dogs listed throughout the country on various 'dangerous dog' lists, including Goldens and Labs? When in doubt, dogs can be temperment tested. Don't perpetuate myths. Before we know it, the only dog allowed by the state will be poodles with their teeth removed.
@Maribeth H: I understand your concerns, but please understand, that ANY breed of dog can be made to be vicious. The media tends to sensationalize pit bull attacks because they often are the victims of evil owners who use them for fighting and mistreat them. Many of former fighting dogs have been rehabilitated into therapy dogs (See Michael Vick's former dogs). No dog should be judged by breed, but by deed. All too often, dogs that "look" like 'dangerous' breeds end up the victims of BSL, as in the case of Lennox in Belfast, who was not a pit. Gentle family dogs have been ripped from their homes and put down all due to BSL. It is discrimination at its worst. If you check legislation on BSL around the country, 250+ breeds are listed as 'dangerous' in some places, including Goldens and Labs!! Be careful what you allow, they may come for your beloved family dog next!
this is beyond stupid the dogs are not inherently dangerous what a prejudicial point of view maryland is full of bigots!!! the dogs are not the problem the humans are!!!!
this is beyond stupid the dogs are not inherently dangerous what a prejudicial point of view maryland is full of bigots!!! the dogs are not the problem the humans are!!!!
Any dog has the capability of harming, not just pit bulls. Breed specific legislation is faulty. I partially agree with what the vet said, it is not just the owners at fault, some dogs are genetically predisposed to be bad. Dogs have instincts and those primal instincts can be brought out by the smell of blood, going into pack mode or a hormone imbalance and no amount of training can cure instincts. Some of the worst attacks on humans I have seen were from small dogs.
I'm of two minds about this. While it shouldn't be right to paint with one brush all pit bulls, I am troubled by the attacks of pit bulls that we hear about every year, and not just by pit bulls who have been trained to be aggressive, but by family pets who never showed any negative behavior at all. I have volunteered at a humane society where all staff members claimed that if they were to get another dog it would be a pit bull and that these dogs are sweet and loving. While I don't believe that they are all aggressive, neither do I believe that they are all sweet and loving. That's the problem. How are we going to know which individual pit bull is aggressive or sweet and loving? After one bite? But that bite might be around the neck of a baby.
Pit bulls are not mean. People make them mean. People are mean because people make people mean, how about getting rid of them? instead of the dogs?

Fighting to Win
The Romney-Ryan ticket welcomes a battle over entitlements.
Aug 27, 2012, Vol. 17, No. 46 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
Waukesha, Wisc.
Paul Ryan
But Mitt Romney did pick Paul Ryan as his running mate. And the new Romney-Ryan ticket is, in fact, choosing to fight on Medicare reform. "Usually Republicans are talking about a lot of other things, but Medicare's one of those that's very important to talk about," said Romney at a fundraiser Thursday in Greer, South Carolina. "We want this debate," said Ryan, in an appearance the night before at his alma mater, Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. "We need this debate. And we will win this debate."
It's early, but so far Ryan is right. Republicans, for the moment anyway, are winning the debate about Medicare reform.
One thing is clear: The campaign today is not the campaign it was before Paul Ryan was chosen. The 2012 presidential election will not be a narrow referendum on President Obama and the economy. Instead, it'll be a bigger debate—about the short-term economy, to be sure, but also about the future of the country and about presidential leadership.
The Romney case is a simple one: On the economy, President Obama led and failed. On foreign policy, he led from behind (some might say "followed"). And on deficits, debt, and entitlement reform, he didn't lead at all.
After Romney won the Wisconsin primary on April 3, effectively winning the Republican nomination, his campaign focused on the unemployment rate and the near-term economy, making the case that "Obama Isn't Working." When Gallup started its daily presidential tracking poll on April 15, Romney was leading Obama 47-45 percent. On August 10, the day before Romney formally announced Paul Ryan as his running mate, the race was tied, 46-46 percent. The RealClearPolitics average over that same timeframe had Obama growing his lead slightly, from 46.8-44.2 percent (+2.6 points) on April 15 to 48.3-44.1 percent (+4.2 points) on August 11. In the 10 polls taken by media organizations over the month before Ryan was picked, Romney was up in just 1, and in others he was behind by as much as 10 points. The day before Ryan was announced, NBC's First Read declared: "It's not even a race—Obama's ahead."
On its own, that's not surprising; leads in presidential races come and go. But what made it remarkable, and worrisome for the Romney campaign, was that Obama grew his lead as the country's already poor economic condition deteriorated further. Over those four months, Americans saw disastrous unemployment reports—with average jobs gains of less than 100,000 per month—and virtually every discussion of the economy included the possibility that the United States would slip back into recession. Whatever the appeal of running safe, of running as the default alternative to an ineffective president, it plainly wasn't working.
If the change in course was clear the moment the world learned that Paul Ryan would be Romney's running mate, it was dramatically underscored at a homecoming rally here in Ryan's native Wisconsin the following day.
The event itself was just what the Romney campaign hoped it would be—a raucous affair that energized both the crowd and the candidates. An emotional Paul Ryan spoke warmly of his upbringing in Janesville and implored the audience to work hard to defeat President Obama. The crowd was filled with the kind of giddy excitement that results in awkward hugs and high-fiving with strangers. Romney, in what was perhaps the best speech of his campaign, told the audience why he'd chosen Ryan and touched on the themes of the big campaign to come.
But the crowd in Waukesha was oblivious to the real news, which
The brief email included an excerpt from an interview that Romney and Ryan had given to 60 Minutes. Said Ryan:

After successfully beating his third or fourth anxiety attach of the morning, Jon Gruden removed the brown paper sack from his face into long enough to tell Tennessee he was both physically and emotionally incapable of leading the SEC's flagship football program back to glory.
Jon Gruden's fear of returning to the sideline was paralyzing…so much so that he found himself unable to commit to the University of Tennessee. Many people would argue that one should not fear failure but embrace it because eventually, it will lead to a beautiful success.
Not Jon Gruden.
He succumbed to his fear of coaching college football. Stay up in the booth Jon, we don't need a coach that would perfect the "deer in the headlights" stare then meltdown when facing Alabama's Nick Saban.
What does Jon Gruden do when he feels like a failure at coaching? He probably kicks himself in the jimmy- which would be great right now if he could physically do that. Gruden is now wallowing in ineptitude, comforting himself with something warm and creamy (ice cream? Mac and cheese?) – After all, will a few more calories really make a difference now?
Those who can, do. Those who can't, work for ESPN on Monday Night Football. Thanks for the procrastination and I hope your anxiety attacks eventually subside (next week).

City having communication problems?
Washington mayor, council members at odds over several issues
The city of Washington is seemingly having a communication problem that is pitting the mayor and members of council against each other.
The communication issue came to a head at councils meeting Thursday night over two specific issues one dealing with the promotion of police Officer Kirk Stinner, the other involving the citys information technology and computers systems coordinator, Lynn Galluze.
Councilman Joe Manning and Terry Faust voted against promoting Stinner to lieutenant, but not because they questioned his ability or expertise. Instead, the councilmen believed they should have been apprised of the promotion prior to the council meeting.
I do not question his ability, but there has been no discussion on this recommendation, said Manning, prior to councils vote.
Mayor Brenda Davis responded to the councilmens concerns by explaining that for the past 25 years, the Fraternal Order of Police promotion board has met and made promotion recommendations.
The promotion board would meet and then come to the chief and mayor to follow through, she stated. Mr. Manning is just playing politics.
Davis said that she believes Manning wanted to promote another officer on the force. She also accused Manning of playing with the good old boys club.
Manning denied all of Davis accusations and said he just felt he should have known about the move prior to being called to vote on it. I dont even know what she means by that, he said.
The position of lieutenant became open with the retirement of veteran officer John Yancosek.
Meanwhile, Davis is blaming poor communication by Galluze for the decision to revise her job description. The action was again opposed by Manning and Faust.
Late last year, before the new administration took over, council approved a new two-year contract with Galluze at a cost of $182,000. Galluzes salary, which does not include benefits, consists of a base of about $72,000 for her technology work. Another $20,000 is for her other assignments, including grant writing.
Under the new job description, Galluze will no longer be responsible for grants. All grant writing will now be handled by the citys other contractor, Rich Cleveland, the mayor explained.
Its a communications problem, Davis said. Shes choosing not to inform all of council and the mayor about what shes working on.
Galluze responded, I dont believe there is a communications problem. Ive always been open to answering anyones questions.
Manning, who is the councilman who oversees Galluzes work, said he doesnt understand Davis comments.
Theres no communications problems with Galluze, he said. She does a great job and has been doing a great job for the city for more than 30 years, Manning added.
