WEST GREENWICH ŌĆō What do you call a guy who is a math whiz with three mastersŌĆÖ degrees; an organizer and program-creator lauded by the state department of education; a person determined to save at-risk students from falling through the cracks?
You call him the new superintendent of the Exeter-West Greenwich School District.
James Erinakes II, 43, who was named last week to succeed Dr. Thomas Geismar, who is retiring after six years, will officially take over on July 18 ŌĆō but heŌĆÖs already meeting with EWG personnel, shuttling between here and Coventry where heŌĆÖs winding up 22 years with that school district.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve spent my entire career in the Coventry School District,ŌĆØ says Jim, who was born in West Greenwich but moved with his family to Coventry when he was in junior high.
After graduating from La Salle Academy, he earned an undergraduate degree in education at URI, a masterŌĆÖs in special education from Providence College, a masterŌĆÖs in administration from Rhode Island College and a master of arts in teaching from PC.
ŌĆ£I decided to get three mastersŌĆÖ degrees instead of a doctorate,ŌĆØ Erinakes explains. At each juncture, he supported his majors with minor studies in math.
Starting his professional life in the Coventry system, he became a student teacher, climbing the ladder to the math faculty, department chairman, assistant principal and assistant superintendent.
ŌĆ£It was a big decision to leave,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£I never thought I would; IŌĆÖm a part of that community. The hardest thing is [leaving] the relationships that developed over that length of time. We had a good staff and faculty and we accomplished a lot together. That connection is hard to walk away from.ŌĆØ
Jim even met his wife, fellow teacher Kelly, at work; theyŌĆÖll celebrate their sixth anniversary next week. They have a 19-month-old son named Kaden James.
The possibilities offered at EWG were too good to ignore.
ŌĆ£I read what EWG was looking for and said, ŌĆÖIŌĆÖll take a chance,ŌĆÖŌĆØ he recalls. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a good opportunity and a good fit.ŌĆØ Erinakes was selected from a pool of 20 applicants after a nationwide search.
ErinakesŌĆÖ education could not have been more perfectly planned to prepare him for the superintendentŌĆÖs post.
He is coming to EWG at a time when schools across the state will be facing massive changes in evaluating teachers and support staff as well as greater expectations for students ŌĆō many of whom, a recent study determined, are ill-prepared for college.
ŌĆ£A lot of things are required of all Rhode Island schools in the Race to the Top,ŌĆØ says Erinakes. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs a lot of anxiety in the state. Implementing the programs will take up a lot of time.ŌĆØ
Faculty members shouldnŌĆÖt dread the changes, he says.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt view it as a way to weed people out. ThatŌĆÖs not what I look at. ThereŌĆÖs a lot of anxiety for teachers; supporting them is really a big piece.They need to be comfortable; support starts with the superintendent.
ŌĆ£Everyone is going through it ŌĆō central administration, support staff, principals, and teachers; all the way down.ŌĆØ
EWG will have a leg up on nearly everyone else when it comes time to implement the mandated changes: Erinakes has already designed a similar initiative known as Coventry CASe Study. The Comprehensive Assessment System for student achievement and teacher professional development was singled out by the Rhode Island Department of Education as a model program.
The important thing, he says, comes down to the timeless edict, ŌĆ£to ensure youŌĆÖre meeting the needs of students; that the classroom is working. I have a lot of experience in bringing together teams of educators, supporting schools already on board and bringing others up to speed.ŌĆØ
While acknowledging that his initial time as superintendent ŌĆ£will be a growth period, a learning curve; getting to know the community,ŌĆØ Erinakes believes he and other members of the administration are on the same page.
ŌĆ£We want to implement responsive intervention ŌĆō target at-risk kids, try to close gaps if kids are falling behind. I did a lot of that work in Coventry. In EWG weŌĆÖve been meeting to plan it. IŌĆÖm excited.ŌĆØ

I picked this up on my stylist's recommendation to help with my hair that was thinning from a combination of illness, stress, and hormones. I have not been able to use it enough to see if it will help, because it leaves a buildup on my hair when I use it, and makes my ends dry, brittle, and very puffy and frizzy (I paired with my usual conditioner). It also stripped my Wella Color Charm haircolor. I might keep it around just in case I wind up with a too-dark demi color job.

I used it a couple of times before along with the conditioner it came with. I used it a few times in combination with L'Oreal Ever Pure Volumizing Shampoo and conditioner
Umm, there have been certain occasions when i used it itself and it either didnt clean my hair well enough or it cleaned my hair too much and it dried out my scalp. Plus, it was really hard to get it out of the bottle. It had a sticky-ish texture to the formula and it didn't lather very well either.
I wouldn't recommend buying this although it has a really nice scent.

This shampoo just didn't do it for me. It is delicious-smelling and does a great job cleaning my hair, but so do many other cheaper products. This expensive ($13.00 for a very small bottle) shampoo claims that it will volumize your hair, but really doesn't do it. It's very hard to use because it does not lather well and is hard to squeeze out of the bottle. It also makes your hair very dry, so a conditioner follow-up is a must. It does the job of cleaning and making your hair smell fresh (without too many harmful chemicals) but is not worth the money or the effort. Look further.

I recently had to completely switch to natural products after having two surgeries. Reactions to medications made my skin SUPER sensitive and my hair unbelievable frail. Anything with chemicals causes horrible breakout and hair loss. I have lost SO much hair, so when I read the reviews on Jason biotin conditioner and the Jason Thin to Thick shampoo, I cried halleluja, and tracked it down!...and then just cried. Finding it was beyond diffcult... I finally happened upon it, no thanks to the Jason website, at an HEB (in TX). The Jason Thin to Thick shampoo made my head break out all over on little painful pimple like bumps... so I gave up on that fairly quickly & continued the conditioner for a bit, until I realized it was contributing to my hair feeling mushy and falling out in the shower. I switched to the new natural TIGI the day after my suspicion... and voila... no more mush.

I've tried many shampoos for thinning fine hair and this is the BEST. I've seen it sold in many places but have avoided it because I was distracted by other brands like Your Crown & Glory and Nioxin, but THIS IS THE BEST. I have fine curly hair which has some thinning issues in the past decade, more recently due to post-pregnancy since May 09. Since I started using this product about 3 wks ago, my hair is noticeably thicker, shinier and softer; I'm receiving compliments and my husband commented this morning "Your hair is beautiful and thicker." Unlike other shampoos for thinning hair which dry out your scalp and hair (ends too), this shampoo thickens and hydrates your hair. Amazing product, JASON you hit the nail on the head with this formula. TIP TO USERS: Definitely try using this shampoo with JASON Biotin Conditioner in the white bottle; this conditioner detangles your hair immediately upon application so combing through is gentle and easy on your strands.

Clearly, I would not buy this product again. It made the hair thinner and made hair fall out even more.

I've been using this product for a year. I don't feel like it stops any hair-loss, but it does add volume to my hair. Also, I have a really oily scalp and this shampoo keeps my hair from getting to oily throughout the rest of the day.
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

Same opinion as for the companion conditioner. Makes my fine hair fly away and dry. Does make it shiny though. I won't buy this again.

no effect on balding. I have had hair loss from stress and weight loss for about 4-5 months. I was expecting miracles because of the hype on the bottle. I was at least expecting it to clean my hair well and I thought that the "sulfate free" would be less irritating to my hand eczema. it's all bullshit. if anything my hair felt weaker and finer. it irritated my skin too.
for a shampoo that really does strengthen the hair shaft and reduce shedding in the shower, I highly recommend joico k-pak shampoo and conditioner (not the treatment). my hair has stopped shedding 50 strands when I wash it and instead I only lose about 10-20.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Other, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other

If your hair is over processed I would not recommend this. For me it is the best, most luxurious shampoo ever. Smells wonderful, tingles the skin a little bit and washes out nicely. The hair smells like herbs and mint and is shiny and soft. I would give it thousand lippies if I only could.

Lake County sheriff's officials have identified David Allen Ferrell, 29, of Clearlake as the man who was shot and killed Sunday in the aftermath of a fist fight earlier in the day.
Ferrell and two others were shot while standing outside of a home in a rural residential neighborhood. Ferrell died at the scene and the other victims were hospitalized.
The suspected shooter was Joshua Beavers, 24, of Clearlake, said Clearlake police Sgt. Nick Bennett.
Beavers and three other suspected accomplices went to the neighborhood together, said Clearlake police Sgt. Nick Bennett.
"They went down there to have a fist fight and they took a gun to a fist fight," Bennett said.
They were looking for a man who had been in a fight earlier in the day with one of the suspects. They didn't find him but while in the neighborhood Beavers fired a .22-caliber handgun and struck Ferrell in the head, killing him, Bennett said.
Returning to their vehicle Beavers then fired wildly, wounding the other two victims, Bennett said.
The four suspects remained in custody Wednesday. They were arraigned in Lake County court Tuesday afternoon.
Beaver was charged with 11 felonies, including murder, attempted murder and being an ex-felon with a handgun. Lake County Jail records listed his bail at $2.9 million.
Angel Esquivel, 50, Orlando Esquivel, 48, and Brenden Alicea, 26, all of Clearlake, were arraigned on felony conspiracy.

With all the issues facing the department over the last year, Welsh said the videos serve as an opportunity to inform airmen on the challenges ahead, but more importantly, to help them understand the logic behind certain decisions.
"This is about keeping you informed about what the Air Force's position is on certain issues and challenges," Welsh said. "We must do better at communicating these issues with our airmen. They need to ... understand the reasons decisions are being made."
In his first message, Welsh talks about one of the repercussions of sequestration -- becoming a smaller Air Force.
"How much smaller remains to be seen. It will be a balance between capability, capacity and readiness that we're going to be walking through the next 10 years," Welsh says in the video. "You just need to know that we're spending a lot of time and energy trying to figure out how to do this the right way."
In addition to Welsh's video messages, Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Cody meets with airmen for roundtables and other broadcast forums, and Welsh and Cody are both active on social media.
"Airmen have questions and concerns -- we need to be there to provide answers and address these concerns," Cody said.
The "Airman to Airman" videos will be distributed on www.af.mil, the Air Force Portal and various social media platforms.

Retailing giant Wal-Mart announced a new program that will offer consumers $4 prescriptions for generic drugs (you can see the full list here: WMT-druglist).
Several commentators have already pooh poohed this as a mere publicity stunt in an election year.
WalGreens and CVS and and other pharmacies have gotten shellacked on
the news — as well they should (Target was relatively unchanged, while
Rite Aid has been a disaster for too long to remember). Wal-Mart
crushed many of the inefficient or simply "less efficient" supermarkets
when they moved into food retailing — I would expect they could have a
similar impact here.
In addition to selling this as a retail loss leader, I wouldn't be suprised if Wal-Mart rolled out a targeted program for certain corporate health care providers — think either GM or Ford. It would be nice if someohow GM or Ford could lop off a few $100 from the cost of manufacturing each vehicle.
And given Wal-Mart's heft, this could very easily have a significant impact on the entire health care system in the United States.
The program will be launched tomorrow starting in 65 stores (Wal-Mart, Neighborhood Market and Sam's Club pharmacies) in
Tampa Bay, Florida; It will expand statewide area, and will be expanded to the entire state in January 2007, and expanded nationwide later in the year.
Key components (via WMT's press release) include:
• $4 pricing will be available to
all pharmacy customers with a doctor's prescription that can be filled via generic.
• This program will be available to the uninsured; Insurance will
be accepted.
• The program presently covers 291 generic medications from
many of the most common therapeutic categories.
• The medicines
represented are used to treat and manage conditions including allergies,
cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes; Some
antibiotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics and prescription vitamins are also
Fascinating stuff . . .
Wal-Mart Tests in Florida Its $4 Generic-Drug Plan

At least the drugs aren't made in China. Or are they? If they carry it off, it's a great plan, and bound to stimulate business for them.
India has a significant pharmaceutical production industry. I'm not sure though how many drugs sold here have been made there. The FDA even has an office there. So its not unthinkable that the pills are made in Asia.
puts pricing pressure on drugs and CPI
Hum, seems those other 2 pharmacy cos. receive over 90% of generic payments from med. plan reimbursments. so, they may not get as shillaced as the market thinks.
Good for Walmart… The pharma industry is ripping off Amercans for billions per year for expensive drugs like Vioxx which cost hundreds of times what just as effective safer alternatives cost.
Many HIV drugs that cost $10,000/year and up in the US have been reverse engineered by companies in India, Brazil and Thailand. These sell for as little as $1/day there.
Yes, I know, the US companies did the billions in research. But now, they are just adding additional meds for HIV that in many cases don't offer anything substantially new, and they NEVER reduce the prices on drugs they have been selling for several years now. Certainly long enough to recover the initial development costs and enjoy more than reasonable profits.
I would like to see Walmart use it's buying clout to get some of these high ticket drugs reduced in cost. Canada and other countries use their bulk buying power to achieve this result. Too bad the Medicare drug bill precludes the US Government from negotiating a discount. Gee…wonder how THAT happened….
The real losers will be Caremark and similar companies that mark up generics significantly (per WSTJ) because they are cheap relative to non-generics. Walmart is effectively giving away their rent.
Barry, you're off the mark. Tthis program caters to the cash business, which has limited relevance to Walgreen's, CVS, etc. Also, you're forgetting that the traditional pharmacies are largely successfuly because of convenience–it's all about getting the customer out of the store quickly. These people aren't going to suddently start shopping at Wal-Mart if they have to drive an extra hour on top of waiting in a longer line. This move is really all about Wal-Mart struggling in the pharamcy business, particularly as Part D has taken off.
Wal-Mart To Sell Bargain Generic Drugs
Responding to critics who call its health coverage plan inadequate, retail giant Wal-Mart announced
WSJ: "Generics made up about 56% of all prescriptions filled last year, but only 13% of drug spending."
I think it is self explanatory as to why it is a publicity stunt. We are talking about only 13% of drug spending.
In addition, it is not clear about what is covered under this $4 plan and how many pills included in it; some prescriptions may be only for 5 pills (antibiotics) and some for 90 pills (antidepressants).
From Reuters:
"The initiative could help jump-start Bentonville, Arkansas-based Wal-Mart's pharmacy business, revenue of which declined slightly in the most recent fiscal year."
From Bloomberg:
"Wal-Mart will consider cutting prices nationwide after it studies the results in Florida, the people said. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company is reducing prices on generic versions of 200 to 300 top prescription drugs. Some will cost as little as $4, compared with an average now of $25 to $30, said the people, who declined to be identified because the plan won't be made public until later today. "
"Some will cost as little as $4″??? Which ones??? How many pills???
I guess the prescription for 5 pills of an antibiotic will cost $4 but if you need 90 pills for your blood pressure you would have to pay $72 (90*4/5)
Geez! And people say I'm cynical –
Generics made up about 56% of all prescriptions filled last year — so how is this a bad thing for those who are price sensitive?
From MarketWatch:
"Target Corp Thursday evening said it is lowering prices on a number of generic drugs in the Tampa Bay area, effective immediately. The retailer said the move is consistent with its long-standing practice to be price competitive with Wal-Mart Stores Inc."
Here we go, the competition has already responded. The consumer will probably benefit from these price wars.
It is a election stunt and very limited. Sort alike that Drug prescription thing…………………..
What Senate seat is WMT running for?
Yes hurray WMT! Perhaps now they can offer health benefits to their workers ala SBUX. Let's be careful about praising these retail robber barons.
""Some will cost as little as $4″??? Which ones??? How many pills???
I guess the prescription for 5 pills of an antibiotic will cost $4 but if you need 90 pills for your blood pressure you would have to pay $72 (90*4/5)"
Actually, "Wal-Mart said in a statement the price "covers 291 generic medications that are commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, cold viruses and infection.""
So you would buy 3 30 days supplies and in my case the $12 for generics is one hell of a lot cheaper than Merck Medco charges me for 90 days of generics.
As for Indian drugs that are re engineered, I am not interested. They don't abide by the rule of law, so what makes you think safety laws are many more important to them? Who inspects the factories in a country where bribes rule the day?
Is WalMArt allowed to import any drugs?
I can't beleive any domestic firm is making $4 generics…
As a dentist I can order pharmaceuticals from my dental supply company. The retail markup is truly amazing. Ordering in lots of 100:
Amoxicillin 500 mg – 18 cents/pill
Diazepam 10 mg (Valium) – 13 cents/pill
Lisinopril 20 mg (for BP) – 30 cents/pill
So with Wal-Marts purchasing power, they're still making money at $4 for a months supply and getting Seniors to shop for more while they're there. . .
i think it is time the the average american people get a break. thanks walmart. if you do this you will have me as a customer for life. good job.
Total election scam. Scare tactics are old and BORING, think Gestalt.
Remember the CAFTA push? Intending to cut the central and south american trade "partners" from producing generics in order to increase revenues for pharma? What a last minute change of heart? Ask a senior "citizen" about their current prescription plan. Hell, my family is middle class and we can't afford health insurance, I'm ashamed to admit.
Walmart has publicly declared their intention to sell these generics at $4.00. If they decide to back out, it will have a great impact on their future profits as a whole(not just the pharmeceuticals). I could not qualify for medical insurance since I was 22 years old. I have been paying on the average of $600.00 per month on medications. Whether it be a political move or just plain old concern for well being of the public, Walmart will have my trust as long as they abide by their word.
I am a pharmacist and I applaud the walmart decision.
Greece has a national prescription plan which allows any item to cost $8-$10 per week for the most expensive items. This is essentially cost for many items. The great point for the wallmart plan is that the government social security money should not be paying for a 300% markup to drug manufacturers on the backs of our retired patients. Most pharmacists get paid a hourly wage and they don't care what the meds cost. The is a wonderful plan to help patients.
I have finally heard something good that wallmart has done for our social networking system.
Barron's Picks Up Wal-Mart Prescription Drug discussion
Our commentary Thursday on WalMart's thrust into the drugstore business (What Does Wal-Mart's Prescription Drug Plan Mean?) got a nice mention in Barron's today:WAL-MART DROPPED THE BOMB last week. It wasn't exactly a nuclear number, except if you happ…
Will be interesting to see how this impacts CVS and WAG. Service at these pharmacies is better than it is at WMT and I see CVS and WMT more aggressively informing patients about Part-D. Personally, I'd much rather go to a CVS or WAG than to WMT for a prescription. The question is, how this all affects CVS/WAG. Can they lower prices also? Might they actually bring in MORE customs if they follow WMT's lead? Or, is WMT going to slowly suck the life out of the prescript business these companies are built on – about 70% of revenues. I guess we wait for the next conf. call.
I don't know what all the brouhaha is about. Many people on low or fixed incomes and no health insurance will now have a chance to buy medicine they need and eat too. I remember when asthma inhailers were $15 or $20. Now they are $150.00. Ridiculous!
The drug industry runs ads for Nexium – go ahead and eat all the tacos you want, just take our pill first. They cost $150.00 a month – or $5 a day. Just leave off the hot sauce and you'll have 5 more dollars for tacos.
Since aids has been previously mentioned, what about herpes? Why would they cure it when they make billions treating it.
Our government is bought and paid for – they won't do anything for us. Anybody defending the pharmaceutical industry should be dragged out in the street and stoned. Okay already, just give 'em the finger!
In the pharmacy industry, usually the government has rules that say they have to get the best prices possible, ala you can't use coupons with medicare/medicaid rxs (read the fine print). I would guess that very soon all insurances and govt agencies will be knocking on Sam's door saying "if you can sell XXX for $4, I want the same price…or better". When that happens (and it will) the margin will be so thin I will hope that all my walmart stock is sold by then. In other words, short term good (publicity, sales), long term bad (margin, backlash if they have to discontinue, alter, etc.) Also note that no Plavix, Zocor, Pravachol or other what you would consider expensive generics are on the list.
For a discount on brand and generic drugs, take a look at the prescription plan at http://www.rxdrugcard.com. For only $4.50 a month membership fee you can get the discounted prices shown on their website. Check it out!
How would you like to get fifty to eighty miles to a gallon of gasoline ? it is possable and easy IF THE E P A would allow it
it is a simple process and cheap and can be out on any vehicle that uses gasoline presently we dump a lot of gasoline into the engine that it does not use so they added a catalitic converter to burn it nothing on the automobile is changed or removed you simply heat the gasoline turning it into a vapor Liguid gasoline will not explode so any raw gasoline that does not vaporize in the engine is wasted with a vaporizer there is no waste all milage isn't it wonderfull you should read the EPA letter and learn how they prevent its use sorry there isn't enough space or time here to include the letter E mail me if you like
This is all well and good. Our seniors need a break. But what about the donut hole (the gap). When a senior gets a named brand high dollar prescription, the donut hole is reached rapidly. What happens in that case. Is Wal-Mart going to offer a real plan D to include the named brand for 20 to 50 dollars in their plan. Are the generics going to go through the gap?Also is the plan going to require a premium? In my research, Humana is the only one around that offers a " no gap" in their complete plan D, but the premiums are very expensive.
I just started Part D and went with Humana. I chose the higher premium with no deductible – about $12/month. Not that expensive.
When is Washington going to get out of the drug companys pockets
Good job Wal-Mart, I can't wait til you have doctors in your stores. Great innovative ideas.
How do I know if my meds will be in the plan? It sounds like the wall-mart plan will be a better buy then the prescription drug part d plan the government is offering. Guess the US representives and Senators should lisen up and notice.
So you are finally coming to Wisconsin-Yippee-We olsters need not pay through the nose for drugs we cannot afford but need-Go wal-Mart go.
I do live in florida and about to lose my health insurance the end of this month for 1 year. I do have asthma and possibly lupus. What walmart has done for me is they have practically gave the medicine to me. Alot of my medicines I could not afford to buy, so then I would have to go without. Is this wise for a asthmatic to go without lifesaving meds? So this plan gets me the meds that I need to survive. I think what walmart has done is a wonderful thing. I don't have to worry about how I'm going to get the medicine anymore, I just go to walmart and that's something I can afford! :)
thanks i am one of those people without a job my age is 54 and i do not have insurance and trying to get on disability i have 3 bloodclots in my leg and high blood and sius problems and depression so thank you for a break can not get my med. i found out this is a way i can
I'm thinking walmart should also start a prescription plan for drugs not covered by this plan and charge a monthly premium so it would benefit everyone, the elderly and the poor. We all need these medicines, and I hate like anything that I'm so dependent on some of these drugs for the sake of my very own life. I have had asthma since birth…I'm 36 years old now, with severe asthma, and on many occasions my life has been spared by medicines. And I do think the epipen should be included on this list, since this is a lifesaving emergency medicine. And seconds make all the difference between life and death! This is something nobody with asthma/allergies should go without! And these shots cost $80.00 for two emergency shots, how many people on social security or the poor can afford that everytime they need more shots.
No one answered my unasked question:
WalMart is, as we all know, pure evil…
So, ultimately, what does this (crooked?) pharmaceutical lure mean for Americans in general? Walmart has already given us the abandoned parking lot, the non-union bagger, and the near extinction of the small business. What's next?
kristine….yes i suppose walmart would be pure evil to self loathing socialists who hate the free enterprise system.
non union?…that's a good thing.
how does the prescription plan help the general public?….by saving a lot of them a lot of money ..duh…[see testimonials from some folks on this page.]
extinction of the small business?…well cant argue there…the times do change and walmart has put some out of business just as walgreens/rite aid etc have closed up most of the mom and pop drug stores as has kroger killed a lot of little groceries as has lowes/home depot done to hardware stores etc etc…walmart just gets the worst name….all the while creating tens of thousands of jobs for people with little or few skills.
get your prescriptiions filled there and maybe you can afford some new birkenstocks kris.
Guess what this is going to do to the struggling independent pharmacist, what few are left, who's annual net profits average about 2% of sales?
Goodbye friendly pharmacist, quick service, home delivery, hometown folks you know and trust.
Hello 4 hour waits, long lines, no delivery, no charge account, no smiles, from employees worked to death.
A great change for America thanks to
a corporation champing at the bits
and hellbent on ruling this country by proxy.

I have a ScrollPane into which I have two JTables among them one Table is fixed and other varies based on data retrieved. So one table is set as RowHeader and other as viewport which contains data.
So, these are kept in JscrollPane and has some fixed dimension. These ScrollPanel are kept in JPanel. And finally the JPanel is kept in pane. Now when I resize that is increase the scollpane size is not increased and it remains same. Also when I minimise the size the scrollpane contents are grayed out and nothing is visible.
Here my problem is it the viewport sizes are not changed and in turn scrollpane size i guess. So I am getting the contents to be grayed out...
Didanybody got the such problem or throw light why is it coming. Thanks for help.
Please use html tags to format code blocks.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-- One local habitat for humanity is "Hammering for the Holidays" and they need your help. The Springfield chapter is hoping to move four families into four new homes by christmas.
For the past 23 years, Habitat Springfield has built more than 150 homes--providing shelter for more than 600 men, women and children in the Greene County area. As always they need volunteers to continue their mission.
Lately when you hear about volunteer house building projects, the focus turns to Joplin.
"We had volunteers from our organization out at Joplin," said Springfield Habitat of Humanity Director Linda Stewart.
But the need for affordable housing is still prevalent in the Queen City. "It will eventually be six homes. We've started four of them just since last summer," Stewart.
Out at Habitat for Humanity's Builder's Circle Project, volunteers are hard at work. "They're laughing all day long and having fun," said Construction Director Mark Murphy. "That's what we like to do is have fun."

Sri Sankara composed this famous hymn in Kashi. Shankara, it is said, was walking along a street one day, accompanied by his disciples. He heard the sound of grammatical rules being recited by an old scholar. Taking pity on the scholar, he went up to him and advised him not to waste his time on grammar at his age but to turn his mind to God in worship and adoration. The Hymn to Govinda was composed on this occasion. Besides the refrain of the song beginning with the words "Bhaja Govindam', Shankara is stated to have sung twelve verses; hence the hymn bears the title "Dvadasamanjarika-Stotra" (A hymn which is a bunch of twelve verse-blossoms). The fourteen disciples who were with the Master, then, are believed to have added one verse each. These fourteen verses are together called "Chaturdasa-manjarika-Stotra" (A hymn which is a bunch of fourteen verse-blossoms).

Behold there lies the man who sits warming up his body with the fire in front and the sun at the back; at night he curls up the body to keep out of the cold; he eats his beggar's food from the bowl of his hand and sleeps beneath the tree.

|Hemodynamic and autonomic correlates of postexercise hypotension in patients with mild hypertension.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11893607 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We investigated the interplay of neural and hemodynamic mechanisms in postexercise hypotension (PEH) in hypertension. In 15 middle-aged patients with mild essential hypertension, we evaluated blood pressure (BP), cardiac output (CO), total peripheral resistance (TPR), forearm (FVR) and calf vascular resistance (CVR), and autonomic function [by spectral analysis of R-R interval and BP variabilities and spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity (BRS)] before and after maximal exercise. Systolic and diastolic BP, TPR, and CVR were significantly reduced from baseline 60-90 min after exercise. CO, FVR, and HR were unchanged. The low-frequency (LF) component of BP variability increased significantly after exercise, whereas the LF component of R-R interval variability was unchanged. The overall change in BRS was not significant after exercise vs. baseline, although a significant, albeit small, BRS increase occurred in response to hypotensive stimuli. These findings indicate that in hypertensive patients, PEH is mediated mainly by a peripheral vasodilation, which may involve metabolic factors linked to postexercise hyperemia in the active limbs. The vasodilator effect appears to override a concomitant, reflex sympathetic activation selectively directed to the vasculature, possibly aimed to counter excessive BP decreases. The cardiac component of arterial baroreflex is reset during PEH, although the baroreflex mechanisms controlling heart period appear to retain the potential for greater opposition to hypotensive stimuli.

Solid Spin Lamps The Concept
The Solid Spin Lamp collection grew out of series of experiments that I made with everyday objects that can be found in everyone's household. These elements were shoes, reading glasses, books, mugs, jugs, forks, remotes, etc. I was fascinated with the shapes that could be created by simply spinning these objects. I took pictures and video with a slow shutter in order to capture these new shapes. These experiments resulted in fragile, ghost like shapes at different stages that were built up of layers.
I wasn't quite satisfied with the results and started to wonder how could I make the outlines more clear and the shapes more solid.
I was interested in strength, not fragility and therefore I decided to see what happened if I moved an object around its' own axis and then an axis of my own choice. I tested objects by themselves and also in groups where they were stacked on top of each other. This resulted in interesting solid revolutionary shapes with great outer detail. If the solids were to be cut open through the middle, the contour of the original object would be visible.
I was exited with the results because I realized that there are endless possibilities. I could make fruit bowls out of fruit, lamp covers out of light bulbs, a stool out of shoes and much more. After the shapes were created I looked for ones that best related to each other, but were made out of different elements (objects). I wanted them to speak the same visual language in order to get a small lamp collection. I modified the scale of each piece to create the perfect family.
The Keys, Shoes and Glasses lamps were born out of a game with spinning everyday objects.

Written By: Kimberly Ough
Here we are again at the time of year when we are all thinking about setting New Year's Resolutions. Probably about 90% of those resolutions are fitness/health related. We have all had good intentions at the beginning of the year when we set out to achieve our fitness goals, but they always seem to fade out after the first couple weeks.
Well in 2011, we are going to turn those "Resolutions" into RESULTS! Here are some tips to help you become successful in your journey. Let's do this together, you are not alone!
Set Realistic Goals:
Setting weekly or monthly goals will help you get to your BIG goal. For example; instead of saying you are going to lose 50 pounds this month – say you are going to lose 5 pounds; and over time, that will all add up. Small successes along the way help you to stick to your fitness goals.
Find an Accountability Partner/Work Out Buddy:
It helps to have a friend go with you on this journey to help support and motivate you when you need it. It also helps to be accountable to that person. So often we think it is okay to let ourselves down, but we are more likely to stick to it if we have to report to someone else, especially someone we greatly respect.
Choose Fitness Activities You Enjoy – i.e. Your "Soul-Mate" Workout:
You don't want exercise to feel like a chore so you need to find something you have FUN with and look forward to. If it is just another "chore" it will end up falling far on the list of priorities. Choose something fun which will help you stick with it! It can be anything – a group fitness class with your accountability partner, cross country skiing, hiking, swimming or weight training. Once you find something you have fun with it will end up becoming part of your lifestyle.
Make it Non-Negotiable:
Pick a time of day that is going to be easy for you to stick to. (When the kids are down for a nap, before they wake up in the morning, at a play date) Just like you keep your appointments, schedule the time you are going to commit to your workout.
Reward Yourself:

A 42-year-old man was robbed on Monday night on the 1700 block of Emerald Way, according to the Salinas Police Department.
The victim was walking home from the story when a male called out to him.
When he turned back he was struck in the face with metal knuckles and received a laceration over his eye, police said.
The suspect demanded money but when he didn't get any, he ripped a necklace off the victim's neck and fled.
The victim was able to get away, made it home and notified police.
A second suspect was standing nearby but did not participate in the robbery.
The first suspect is described as a man in his mid-30s.

Wasn't there already a 5v5 option for rbgs ( and even 15v15) at some point, but they scrapped it? Eitherway, we already got 5v5....in arenas.
And yes Dota is a proven map/format, but so is command and conquer and that wouldn't work here, would it?
That is, of course, assuming Blizzard don't add dota mechanics like gold and temporary items. That would be highly interesting.
Anyone remember ENFO from Warcraft 3? That would make a good scenario.
This BG is going to be flooded with the classes that can burst 1v1-2 and so many specs are going to get shafted by it.
This is going to be sooo fun, I can see it now... Might as well just start playing Frost Mage/Warrior, even after the nerfs they're still going to be ridiculous in this style of BG.

But, do we really need another government agency with extra-Congressional authority? An agency that wants the Federal Reserve, not Congress, to set its budget? An agency developed by the same woman (Warren) who oversaw the highly-criticized $700 billion financial industry bailout?
Warren defended her new agency to Michael Moore in an interview for the DVD version of his film, "Capitalism: A Love Story," saying: "You can't buy a toaster in America that has a 1-in-5 chance of exploding, but you can buy a mortgage that has a 1-in-5 chance of exploding, and they don't have to tell you about it."
Does Warren want financial companies to write contracts at a second-grade level because she assumes consumers are too dumb or lazy to read the fine print? She tells Time Magazine that consumers shopping for loans, "… drown in a sea of words that are theoretically disclosures, but they scream, 'Don't read me.'"
Mortgage brokers do not go to bed at night dreaming up confusing fine print clauses. Financial companies write lengthy contracts partly to comply with existing regulations and to protect themselves from consumer lawsuits. And Warren wants more bureaucracy?
Since Warren loves to throw out appliance analogies, I'll throw one back at her: Any legitimate appliance company in America provides its customers with a way to voice concerns and complaints. You can speak with a customer service representative in person or call a customer service line to negotiate a full or partial refund.
But, if you dislike policies from unelected government agencies like Warren's Rule Warehouse, you don't have a voice. Ironically, federal agencies fail to adequately protect consumers because they don't give consumers sufficient and reasonable say in their operation and direction.
When government agencies create rules without proper input from voters and Congress, the rules will likely be anti-capitalist policies that are extremely difficult to overturn.
When Congress acts, you do have a voice because you elect your congresspeople; you can email, Tweet, Facebook or call their offices to complain, and, you can vote them out of office.
This new agency could cost financial institutions devastating amounts of money to restructure and dub down their financial products so that your dog can understand them. These costs will be passed along to the consumer, not to the government. Competition in the private sector will motivate consumer finance companies to improve, not government growth.
Whether the President appoints Warren or not, her wild hand built this house of cards. It is time to reign in agency power under Congress' legitimate authority.

The state Senate's Retirement Committee apparently didn't like the governor's original proposal for reforming the state's pension plans. The committee has made substantial changes, and now Chairman Elbert Guillory says "we are asking more people to give us their ideas." Guillory says it's likely the retirement bills will be "polished and tweaked" even further when they reach to the Senate floor.
If the governor's retirement-reform package is receiving the benefit of input from the parties most affected by it, why wasn't the package of so-called education reforms given the same consideration? I'd submit that on the basis of long-term impact on Louisiana's future, improving the retirement system falls well short of the need to improve education.
Some of the issues addressed in the governor's education package are good ones, but others are so toxic that they invalidate any claim to true educational reform. In testimony a few weeks ago, I asked the Senate Education Committee for one year to allow a panel of parents, teachers, administrators, school board members, groups like PAR and CABL, to work with the Governor and the legislature to "polish and tweak" a little, too. But the train had already left the station.
As the Retirement Committee apparently realizes, negotiation and compromise always have a better chance of producing positive results than zealotry ever does. But when education was the issue, zealotry prevailed, virtually guaranteeing litigation and years of turmoil in the effort to educate our children.

A great loss to us all as charismatic former Hobart lord mayor Doone Kennedy dies after short illness
- From: Mercury
- August 31, 2014
HOBART is mourning the loss of its only female lord mayor, the popular and charismatic Doone Kennedy.
Mrs Kennedy died peacefully yesterday in the company of family and friends at the JW Whittle Ward after a short illness. She was 87.
Her son John Kennedy said his mother had embraced the city – and Hobart had returned the love.
"She dearly loved the place and really saw it as her duty to serve the city and its people," Mr Kennedy told the Sunday Tasmanian.
Mrs Kennedy was lord mayor from 1986 to 1996 and was as popular on the day she stepped down as at any time during her reign.
She will be remembered for her tireless commitment to beautifying Hobart and a several significant developments around the city, including the tree lights in Salamanca Place, the Town Hall's chandeliers and the funding for the Hobart Aquatic Centre.
She will also be remembered for her personal touch and Mr Kennedy said the family had received many messages from those whose lives she had touched.
"She was very much a loved person in the community, very much respected," he said.
"She achieved it all off her own bat. She was very much a people's person."
Lorna Doone Pleasance Brewer grew up on a sheep farm in New South Wales and left school
at 16 to work during World War II.
She was transferred to Hobart with the Bank of NSW as a 19-year-old in 1947, and married Hobart alderman John Kennedy, with whom she raised two children.
Mrs Kennedy was a board member or patron of numerous organisations when first elected to the council in 1982. By 1996, she was the longest-serving lord mayor in Australia and became an Officer of the order of Australia in 1994.
"I just remember her as a very loving mother," Mr Kennedy said.
The family wished to express its gratitude to staff at the Whittle Ward palliative care unit, Mr Kennedy said.
"We're very grateful to the staff at the Whittle Ward for making it as easy as possible the last three days," Mr Kennedy said.
"It's a great loss to us. She was dearly loved within and outside the family."

It was my pleasure to share Primary School with Doone, as we two were of the same age and had similar interests. Doone was always a bright and pleasant girl who made life in our lonely country setting all the more enjoyable. It came as a traumatic experience for me when my family moved from Mummell to St. Marys, in New South Wales just prior to the outbreak of World War II. Our ways separated then and it was not encouraging to know she had married an army officer.`

How do I handle a toddler who wants to be naked all the time?
My 20-month-old daughter insists on being totally naked. I've tried putting clothes on her that button, buckle, and even do up in the back. She can be totally undressed in less than a minute. Any suggestions?

My 2nd child is a son and he loves to be naked. We are trying to potty train him but he'll go right there on the floor, couch... At night he'll take off his diaper and sleep naked. When I check on him his bed is wet and of course we all know the drill. The jammies backwards works but now its to hot and I don't want to use safety pins at night.

My 2-year-old daughter LOVES to run around naked. And as long as I don't have any company over, if it's just my wife and I at home, I let her do it. I don't really see what the big deal is. The human body is nothing to be ashamed ofposted 05/11/2007 by Kelsi's Daddy
I have given up on this one...my three year old runs around naked no matter what. We've tried overalls, overalls backwards, pjs backwards, pj's backwards and inside out. He's a little Houdini. As I write this, in fact, he's completely nakey! My older son did the same...and even added "the nakey dance" to it as a bonus!posted 04/30/2007 by redheadnyu
My 2 year old boy... oh my.. if he takes his diaper and shorts off one more time ahhhh hahah. I finally found the pattern today.. as soon as he goes potty in his diaper.. off it comes..and he even puts his pants back on without the diaper. So I decided to start potty training today. His response to that was "Ewww yuck" haha And to top it off I just found out I am pregnant ahhhhhhhh lol The unique blessings of life :)posted 08/22/2006 by cloudspassby78
My 23 month old takes off pull-ups, overalls, onsies, footie pjs, and everything else. The problem with this isn't the nudity, it's the using the floor for a toilet. Also, getting him dressed to go anywhere is a giant battle. Any suggestions?posted 07/12/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Here is what I don't understand why does everyone have a problem with their children being naked? This is perfectly natural and if they aren't making a mess, then unless company is around, there is nothing wrong with it. If you force your child to wear clothes, especially if there is no threat to them physically(too cold), you may teach them that they're bodies are shameful. Relax, when they get older they start to become modest on their own and will cover up on their own.posted 03/26/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
Diapers are much more difficult for a young toddler to remove if they're covered by a pair of padded cloth underwear and perhaps even another layer of plastic diapers. Then cover it all with 1 piece coveralls without snaps on the pants, or pjs inside out at night.posted 02/04/2006 by Chantel K
Dora is so popular today and even with my just turned 2-year-old. We have a couple of videos, a couch, slippers, backpacks, toothbrushes etc. my daughter kept taking off her diaper and although we tried talking her out of it nicely, explaining only mommy and daddies can do it,she still did. we put her in time out after a few warnings and she took it off in timeout with poop and lets just say it was a mess. The next day it was a huge battle. Finally i warned her that if she did it again, I was going to take everything dora and put it in her closet for the rest of that day and all of tomorrow. Well, she did and I made her help me round it all up and if we forgot something, we added to the closet. She wasn't too upset at first but when it didn't come out, she was very upset. I reminded her several times a day about how to get it back, even if she wasn't asking about it. She got it back and hasn't done it since. Knock on wood.posted 11/22/2005 by sandoval24

Monitoring: Differences Between Rackspace Server Users and Non-Rackspace Server Users
Rackspace Cloud Monitoring can be used on Rackspace servers and non-Rackspace servers. When using a Rackspace server, you can be a managed or an unmanaged user. There are some differences between what you can do in any one of these circumstances. This page describes those differences.
Please Note: The Rackspace Managed Infrastructure Servers column (in the middle) overlaps at times with both the Rackspace Managed Operations Servers and Unmanaged Non-Rackspace Servers as the table indicates. There are no managed non-Rackspace servers.
|Rackspace Managed Operations Servers
|Rackspace Managed Infrastructure Servers
|Unmanaged Non-Rackspace Servers
Entities for Rackspace servers and databases are managed automatically, this means:
Entities for non-Rackspace servers and databases must be managed manually, this means:
The label for Rackspace Cloud Servers can only be changed on the Cloud Server directly. The change will be propagated to monitoring system quickly.
The instance name for Cloud Database cannot be changed.
|CAN delete monitoring entities or change the label for servers.
Have the default notification plan: npTechnicalContactsEmail and have an additional notification entry: npManaged
|Have the default notification plan, npTechnicalContactsEmail, only.
The agent only needs the agent token to authenticate with the monitoring server. This value is stored as monitoring_token in the agent configuration file.
The agent is able to identify the server it is installed on to the server.
The agent needs the agent token to authenticate with the monitoring server. This value is stored as monitoring_token in the agent configuration file.
In addition, the agent needs to know which entity it is installed on. This value is the agent_id associated with the entity on the monitoring server. This is also a field in the agent configuration file
If you are going to create an image out of a non-Rackspace server to be used to spin up more servers, you need to remove the agent_id field (before you generate the image) in the agent configuration file that is generated when you run agent setup. Otherwise, the agent will be associated with the same entity that the image was created from and the checks won't work properly.
Agent configuration file location:
Learn more about agent configuration with the Install the Cloud Monitoring Agent article.
By default, the monitoring agent is installed and turned ON and the monitoring is configured automatically. For details, see Managed accounts Hosting (rackspace.com/managed-hosting/).
By default, the monitoring agent must be manually installed. For details, see Manually Configure the Agent in the Cloud Monitoring Getting Started Guide.
|For Cloud Database customers, the monitoring agent is installed with monitoring configured automatically, by default. For details, see Cloud Database documentation (http://docs.rackspace.com/cdb/api/v1.0/cdb-devguide/content/Monitoring_Cloud_Databases-d1e4673.html).
You can access some monitoring features through the Control Panel and all the features through API. You can see more monitoring features, as well as metrics, through the Cloud Intelligence interface.

|OBJECTIVE: To determine perception and the attitude of non-psychiatric doctors about psychiatric problems working in a tertiary care hospital. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar. The questionnaires distributed were returned within one week duration. SUBJECT AND METHODS: All the doctors working in Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar for more than one year except house officers and those working in Paediatrics, Radiology and Administration Block were given anonymous questionnaires. RESULTS: Two hundred and ten doctors returned the questionnaires. One hundred and eighty-three (87 %) of respondents were male. Ninty-eight percent of doctors agreed that psychological factors were important in the cause and outcome of physical disorders but only 26.7 % agreed that management of emotional issues is medical responsibility. There was no statistically significant difference between physicians and surgeons in their attitude towards importance of psychological factors in the physical disorders. CONCLUSION: Doctors working in tertiary care hospital have adequate awareness about the psychological and emotional factors in medical and surgical patients. However, some barriers against the provision of bio-psychosocial care seem to be present.
