I think it's pretty easy to spot a dedicated member to the site and a member who has "meh% activity."
My rules would be:
1.) Ownership of at least one Halo game on any platform.2.) Must be a CHU member for 6 months.3.) All new applicants are voted on by the members.4.) Must not spam, flame, etc.5.) Must blame Global Warming on Drugs eating too many burritos.6.) Must have 1000+ posts.
I like Zeth's proposals best. Maybe we should make a poll when all suggestions are in.
I agree however i think there should be exceptions to the halo thing. People such as shibby and pisces should still be aloud in. In other words if they are a good enough member then the halo rule should be omitted.
omg i b3t n0one haz maad a l33t ass cus70m g4im l13k d1s b4...i am s0 ****1ng 0rigi0nal.
7) Must accept the fact that 42 is ****ING AWESOME and resides in the SUPER-MEGA-WINNER locker, and is technically superior to any and all recruits.8) Must not be part of any other clan/association related to any Halo game.9) Must be well-spoken - make valid points in discussions, have some sense of humour etc.
Other than that, that's pretty much it.

Camille Wright Thompson, a 58-year-old Olympic swimmer, swims at Louisiana Athletic Club on Tuesday. The Pollock native won the silver medal in the women's 4x100 medley relay at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, placed fourth in the 100-meter butterfly and competed in the 200-meter butterfly.

The pool at the Louisiana Athletic Club in Pineville had a famous visitor last week when former Olympic swimmer Camille Wright Thompson popped in for her morning workout.
Her speed in the pool made it obvious that she wasn't your average 58-year-old swimmer.
Thompson, who won a silver medal with the U.S. medley relay team in the 1976 Olympics, was visiting her mother, Bobbie Wright, in Dry Prong for the week. ...

I'm moving to the midwest for college in the fall, where it'll be very cold during the winter, so I've looked into buying a Tesla Tumbler for when I walk to my classes in the morning, like the total college student that I will be. I went to my city's Tesla store, but they didn't have any (still bought the water bottle, very cool). I looked into purchasing online, but they're out of stock!
Does anyone know if the online store restocks? I'd absolutely love to have one and show off the label side to everyone I walk by.
"Hey dude, watcha drinking there?"
"Oh this?" twist bottle to label side "It's a TESLA tumbler. They're pretty cool."
"That didn't answer my question."
I wonder how much Tesla is making just on Tesla gear? Tumbler sold out. Coffee mug sold out. Water bottle sold out. License plate frame sold out. Even the tire tread wallet is sold out. Apparently they need to stock more.
I could get a high-quality Tesla logo cap made for me here in Maine in a variety of colors by the folks who make caps, fender covers, blankets, pillow covers, shirts, etc. for Hinckley Yachts and Morris Yachts, two of the finest boat builders in the country. They can only make very small quantities. Unfortunately Tesla will not permit them to use the logo, even for this limited and personal use. Sad, especially since the caps in the Tesla Store only come in a small number of colors and are mostly sold out. Boo!!
I hope they restock at least before November, if I have to wait a quarter I will.
Seriously, I'm mean the holidays are just around corner guys! How are my friends and relatives to do their shopping for me if everything is out of stock?
I wonder if you call another store....if they have it......maybe they'll ship it to you?
Just a thought....
Jackie :-)
Elon mentioned this in an interview, or the shareholder meeting, or another one of the announcements, that their merchandise branch is "doing rather well, actually." He said it with a slight chuckle, If memory serves.
Well, great! :) I'm sure plenty of non S owners have bought a t shirt or hat, if nothing else, just to feel closer to the Tesla Model S.
Speaking of which, remember to wear your Tesla gear anytime there's a big announcement, or for Q2 results. Like watching the big game.
@ppape I'll send an email to the store thing and see if I can do that, thanks!
I swear some of the stores I shop at discontinue products that sell out too fast because it's too much trouble restocking them. I wonder if TM follow the same policy with its merchandise.

Friday's U-B had two letters to the editor full of erroneous accusations. Everett Maroon and Beth Call did not do their homework before spouting off the Democratic line!
If you want to catch a Democrat in a lie, check the Internet and you will find them on a video where the story they are telling today can be disproved by their own words or on occasion the media will do their job and report some news accurately, rare as that is. President Obama is easy, if his lips are moving he is surely lying and the Democrats and low-information voters will believe.
If Maroon and Call had told the facts, the House and U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers passed legislation that funded all of the government except for Obamacare. The Senate and Majority Leader Harry Reid, along with Obama, blocked all of this. Call also states that Republicans are circumventing the law passed by Reid, Pelosi and Obama. Thank God, as it is a terrible law that has already been shown it will add trillions to the national debt.
The country is already floating in national debt that has been heaped on your kids, grandkids, etc., and their lives will be overshadowed by this monstrous debt.
And talking about circumventing the laws, Obama is the king at this game, with massive numbers of executive orders circumventing Congress. They need to go back and check how Congress and McMorris Rodgers approved legislation to fund FEMA (247 to 164 votes) because of the tropical storm Karen. They also funded 800,000 government employees to get them back pay for the lost time.
This covers lots of solidly Democratic voters. So, let me ask, who's taking care of you? They also passed legislation to fund the military pay and signed by Obama. People should thank the Republicans and McMorris Rodgers.
Former President George W. Bush and the Republicans have been bashed by the Democrats with lies that have been told so many times the low-information voter and the Democratic voters believe them.
For example, Bush got us into the Iraq War, the financial collapse that Obama inherited, Bush destroyed the Clinton surpluses and the national debt is his fault. These are all fabrications that are easy to dispel, but not in 400 words. Look it up for yourself, if you really want to know and can handle the truth.
Stop drinking the Democrat's Kool-Aid!

May 11, 2011
Blinn College has selected the firm of Gold Hill Associates of Asheville, N.C. to assist in the search for the next Blinn College President. Established solely as a community college presidential search firm in 1990, Gold Hill has successfully completed nearly 100 presidential searches across the country. The firm's background in Texas includes service by its executives in the chancellorship of the Alamo District, along with 15 presidential searches for the top executive at Lone Star College, Tyler Junior College, Galveston College, Austin Community College and several others.
Gold Hill will assist the college throughout the search process, including recruiting qualified candidates, assisting with the initial screening process of applicants, checking references and honing the list of finalists to be interviewed on campus.
Blinn College Board of Trustees Chairman Atwood Kenjura said Hill's exclusive work with community colleges and their proven background with Texas community colleges played a key role in the selection.
"Gold Hill fit exactly what we were looking for in a search firm," said Kenjura. "Their expertise is wholly dedicated to the unique characteristics of community colleges, which is a definite plus. In addition, the firm has a respected track record of learning everything about a college, including its distinctive culture, and then helping to find the individual to fit within that organization and lead it forward."
Along with hiring a search firm, Kenjura also appointed a Presidential Search Advisory Committee to work with Hill to help develop the profile of characteristics sought in the new president, review the applications, narrow the field to a group of recommended finalists and interview the final candidates. Blinn trustees, faculty, staff and community and business leaders from within the college district comprise the committee members.
Blinn College Presidential Search Advisory Committee:
"We are fortunate to have so many quality representatives from throughout the college district and the local communities we serve dedicating themselves to this important job search," Kenjura said. "It's a truly historic moment in our 128-year history, a time of real optimism and opportunity. We're excited about beginning the next era for Blinn College."
In the next few weeks, Blinn's representative from Gold Hill will spend several days visiting the Blinn campuses to meet with the members of the search committee, trustees, administration, students, faculty and staff to gain their perspectives on the type of leader they believe to be the best fit for Blinn College.

Amateur filmMeaning and practice c. 1927−77
Heather Norris Nicholson
Series: Studies in Popular Culture
Subject Area: Film and Media
BIC Category: Social & cultural history
Published: October 2012
234 x 156 mm
272 pages
Publisher: Manchester University Press
Amateur film: Meaning and practice 1927–77 plunges readers into the world of home movies making and reveals that behind popular perceptions of clichéd family scenes shakily shot at home or by the sea, there is much more to discover. Exploring who, how, where, when and why amateur enthusiasts made and shared their films provides fascinating insights into an often misunderstood aspect of national visual history. This study of how non-professional filmmakers responded to the new possibilities of moving image places decades of cine use into a history of changing visual technologies that span from Edwardian visual toys to mobile phones. Using northern cine club records, interviews and amateur films, the author reveals how film-making practices ranged from family footage to highly crafted edited productions about local life and distant places made by enthusiasts who sought to 'educate, inspire and entertain' armchair audiences during the early decades of British television.
Preface and acknowledgements
1. Making space for a neglected visual history
2.The amateur club scene
3.The rise of a hobby press
4. Family life as fact and fiction
5. Local lives and communities
6. Gazing at other people working.
7. An indispensable travel accessory
8. Socially engaged filmmaking
9. Moving pictures, moving on
Nicholson's work over the last two decades as a social and cultural historian has been at the forefront of this reexamination of amateur cinema culture. This monograph represents a significant step towards understanding the specific historical nuances of amateur film practice and culture in the UK.
The monograph is based on a multitude of sources, which are expertly synthesized. Bringing together regional film archive collections, interview material and specialist hobby literature, Nicholson succeeds in reclaiming the amateur movement's place within cultural memory and history. "The number of sources consulted is impressive and potentially opens up various avenues of research as the films cited gradually become publicly accessible via archive websites. Overall, Heather Norris Nicholson's Amateur Film presents an impressively wide ranging history of reginal filmmaking, highlighting the range of interests and concerns that found expression within the amateur cine sector over a number of decades."
(Ryan Shand, The Moving Image, 2014) …until now there has been no systematic critical study of the emergence and development of amateur film practice in Britain. This book represents a valuable contribution to redressing this situation.

Things to Do in the Hamptons in the Winter
When you think of the Hamptons, the first thing to come to mind might be golden beaches, summery boutiques, and outdoor dining, but the truth is there is plenty to do here all year long. If you want to enjoy the Hamptons without all the crazy traffic of the summer, it's time to check out this destination during the winter. Located on the south fork of Long Island, the Hamptons is a short drive away from New York City. With a list of things to do in the Hamptons in the winter, you won't have a dull moment during your trip - unless you want one that is.
Romance in the HamptonsOne reason people escape to the Hamptons in the winter is for peace and quiet. Many of the best winter activities are ones that lead to romance. Spending a day at the spa, or the Wolffer Estate Winery in Sagaponack, with your significant other makes for an incredibly relaxing day. From couples massages to facials, pampering spa treatments are one way to spend your winter time in the Hamptons.
Of all the things to do in the Hamptons in the winter, some of the best ones are right at home in your Hamptons winter rental. Choose a rental with a fireplace and spend a cozy night by the fire while it snows outside. From bubble baths to breakfast for two, a cozy home in the Hamptons will provide peace and quiet. Beyond your rental, the Hamptons are home to many award-winning restaurants. Enjoy long, lingering meals by some very talented chefs during your trip.
Not all things to do in the Hamptons in the winter are for couples. If you're planning a family getaway, you will also have a long list of activities to choose from. Despite the cold temperatures, kids will want to get outside and take advantage of all that fluffy, white snow. One of the most popular winter activities for kids in the Hamptons is sledding.
Family Activities in the Hamptons
Just like in the summer, your vacation rental will provide the entertainment. After building snowmen outside, kids will love to come inside and make s'mores on the fire. Away from the house, one great spot for entertaining the kids is the Buckskill Winter Club where you will find an open-air ice skating rink that is open seven days a week. Another fun destination is the Children's Museum of the East End , where kids can join in on programs all year long, and Sag Harbor's Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum.
Just like in the summer, the Hamptons are all about simple pleasures. Bring along plenty of books and movies and enjoy getting away from the bustle of everyday life. Treat the kids to an afternoon movie and popcorn. For a little daytrip, treat the kids to a visit to Atlantic Marine World in Riverhead where they will encounter sharks, fish, stingrays, and more.
Simple Pleasures
If you never have time to cook at home, why not stock the kitchen and prepare a feast with the kids? If you're looking to get away from the kitchen, indulge in the local restaurant scene. Be sure to check out the monthly listings, as more and more arts festivals, film events, and foodie festivals are taking place outside of the summer season.
One final simple pleasure is a stop at Fudge Company . This Southampton chocolate spot offers more than 13 types of fudge, which is an ideal snack at any time of the year. Travelers that want to experience a more serene side of the Hamptons will skip the summer and visit during the winter season.

Maurice Sendak to release new book, "Bumble-Ardy"Juxtapoz // Saturday, April 02, 2011
Maurice Sendak is back! One of the greatest children's authors is set to release his first book in 30 years, a book he authored and illustrated titled, "Bumble-Ardy." If that sounds familar, it's because it is based on a character Sendak developed in 1971 for Sesame Street, a short that Jim Henson produced. More information after the jump . . .

Ting to support unlocked Sprint iPhone 5 next week, sources say
updated 04:19 pm EST, Tue February 25, 2014
Age of device likely overriding concern
Sprint-based MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) Ting will start supporting unlocked iPhone 5 units on its network by next week, sources say. The carrier's iPhone support has so far been limited to the iPhone 4 and 4S; iPhone 5 support has allegedly been held up by Sprint, which often avoids allowing phones on MVNOs until they're a generation or more behind. Because the iPhone 5s and 5c have been available for several months already, the iPhone 5 has reportedly been given the go-ahead.
Unlike most carriers, Ting charges on a mainly usage-based system, meaning that base costs can run as little as $3 a month. The catch is that subscribers only have access to a limited range of new and used phones, and the bring-your-own-device option is restricted to unlocked Sprint hardware.

Thanks again to New Idea for spreading the Polish Christmas love across Australia!
Firstly, a few tip on how to survive the stresses of the Christmas kitchen:
It pays to prepare – do as much as you can the night before, and leave yourself enough time to get dressed and do your hair. Being the hostest with the mostest is just as important as the food and decorations! Quality, not quantity – avoid a booze fest and buy quality, rather than quantity of alcohol.

|Use of hospital-based acute care among patients recently discharged from the hospital.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23340638 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|IMPORTANCE: Current efforts to improve health care focus on hospital readmission rates as a marker of quality and on the effectiveness of transitions in care during the period after acute care is received. Emergency department (ED) visits are also a marker of hospital-based acute care following discharge but little is known about ED use during this period.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the degree to which ED visits and hospital readmissions contribute to overall use of acute care services within 30 days of discharge from acute care hospitals, to describe the reasons patients return for ED visits, and to describe these patterns among Medicare beneficiaries and those not covered by Medicare insurance.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Prospective study of patients aged 18 years or older (mean age: 53.4 years) who were discharged between July 1, 2008, and September 31, 2009, from acute care hospitals in 3 large, geographically diverse states (California, Florida, and Nebraska) with data recorded in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project state inpatient and ED databases.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The 3 primary outcomes during the 30-day period after hospital discharge were ED visits not resulting in admission (treat-and-release encounters), hospital readmissions from any source, and a combined measure of ED visits and hospital readmissions termed hospital-based acute care.
RESULTS: The final cohort included 5,032,254 index hospitalizations among 4,028,555 unique patients. In the 30 days following discharge, 17.9% (95% CI, 17.9%-18.0%) of hospitalizations resulted in at least 1 acute care encounter. Of these 1,233,402 postdischarge acute care encounters, ED visits comprised 39.8% (95% CI, 39.7%-39.9%). For every 1000 discharges, there were 97.5 (95% CI, 97.2-97.8) ED treat-and-release visits and 147.6 (95% CI, 147.3-147.9) hospital readmissions in the 30 days following discharge. The number of ED treat-and-release visits ranged from a low of 22.4 (95% CI, 4.6-65.4) encounters per 1000 discharges for breast malignancy to a high of 282.5 (95% CI, 209.7-372.4) encounters per 1000 discharges for uncomplicated benign prostatic hypertrophy. Among the highest volume discharges, the most common reason patients returned to the ED was always related to their index hospitalization.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: After discharge from acute care hospitals in 3 states, ED visits within 30 days were common among adults and accounted for 39.8% of postdischarge hospital-based acute care visits. Improving care transitions should focus not only on decreasing readmissions but also on ED visits.

I am writing to say how much I appreciated reading the article concerning Kim Goff and her son. We would love to express our gratitude to her as she fights for the services that her son, and every child on the spectrum, needs. We have two children on the higher end of the spectrum, one living in the Hanover area, and understand how difficult it is to get others to understand how these children grow and develop. We would sincerely hope you would share this email with Ms. Goff and let her know she is not alone in her fight and she can reach out to us for support whenever needed, even if it's just to speak to someone else who understands what she is going through.
Thank you again for an insightful article into a delicate subject.

Japanese Robot Art: Nice to Look At, and Don't Forget the Inspiration!
Japanese Robot Art – It's Good, Man!
Illustration, product packaging, statues & sculpture, and even some transhumanist pin-ups; for decades Japan's been pounding out the robot art like nobody's business. Last week's robotics piece examined the artistic legacy influence of giant Japanese robots on the upcoming film Pacific Rim, but this week it's just cool robot art for the sake of looking at cool robot art.
Some readers might just see the shiny, and that's cool – some might find a new robo-wallpaper or screensaver, and that's fun – or, as happens more than one might suspect, the exploration and enjoyment of sci-fi imagery and entertainment can result in actual factual inspiration.
Art Can Make Science, The -Fi Drives the Sci-
A guy named Martin Cooper, inspired by the communicators from the original Star Trek series (60s), went on to lead the Motorola team that invented the first mobile phone (70s). The Panasonic/ActiveLink exoskeletal Power Loader & Power Loader Light look a whole lot like the safety-yellow power loader from Aliens. The 1959 novel Starship Troopers has been cited as a major inspiration for those working on real-life badass robot suits. Sikorsky's helicopters & Lake's early submarines were heavily inspired by Jules Verne. It goes on.
Art & The Contemporary Robotics Revolution
The social and economic significance of the ongoing explosion in practical robotics shows a lot of parallels to the communications boom and media upheaval centered around the rise of the internet – in all likelihood, it's not going to slow down. At all. And one has to wonder how many Gen-X roboticists fell in love with their field as children playing, watching, reading the Transformers, Voltron, Gundam, Star Wars, etc. Certainly went that way with at least one dorky keyboard pounder, as well.
Whatever the result, humans need art – and those of use with deep-seated robo-geekery proclivities, we need robot art. And so, enjoy the four forms below, and see the links at the bottom if you need a little more enjoyment, something that'll look cool on your laptop or phone, and if the imagery below inspires you to invent, kindly link here when you go public, yeah?!
Form #1 – Illustration Because Illustration:
Doesn't have to be a whole lot of practicality to robot art, just looking good is good enough. The main image above and the first work below is that of Toshiaki Takayama, who goes all kinds of robo-cyborgy on humans and dragons and other imaginary stuff:
Another great illustration is this Gundam going all robo-rage on… something, via Concept Robots, artist unfindable:
Form #2 – Transformers Box Art:
Now, this is also illustration, but for marketing and product packaging, of course. These images, perhaps modern vintage, were included on the 80s Transformers packaging. With plastic & metal toy in hand, these were the mind's landscape.
In Japan it was this:
And across the Pacific:
Form #3 – Statues & Sculpture:
The most well-known and pun-intended visible robot statue is the life-size, 1:1-scale Gundam that pun-intended pops up from time to time around Tokyo. Ironically, this is Gundam Suit is, well, Mobile. The attention to detail is fantastic:
And just how big is the 1:1-scale Gundam? Could ask this dude:
Form #4 – Japanese Robot Art for Big Boys & Girls (CAUTION – the link below will deliver some NSFW):
For those who'd like a little more, ummm… nudity and sexuality in their robot art, a good place to begin is the work of nasty robot airbrush wizard Hajime Sorayama. His iconic and widely recognizable work was transhuman before transhumanism was cool, but his name isn't exactly household. Below is a pretty mild sample, but if you're like, you know, into that sorta thing, jump through the link down there – but not at work or in front of grandma:
Thanks for viewing – if you've got a favorite Japanese or otherwise nationalitied artist who represents with the robot art, let us and other readers know down below.

text: Amy and Gilbert have been together for several years, but Amy has not said "yes" until now. There is an old proverb that says, if you love something let it go: if it comes back it's yours but if it doesn't it never was yours. Amy waited patiently until she was certain that Gilbert was ready for a commitment of this magnitude. The day finally came when Gilbert was ready to give up many distractions to his life and focus on family and especially on Amy. They were married at Tennessee Gardens in a beautiful ceremony performed by a family member. They looked happy, contented and completely in love! Here are a few images from the day.

Overall, federal and state agencies have received $27.5 million to restore conditions for fish, birds, sensitive habitats, wildlife and recreational use of the Delaware River areas impacted in 2004 by an oil spill from the vessel Athos I. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware collectively have received the funds from the OSLTF for nine restoration projects.
"These funds will enhance a number of excellent restoration projects throughout the area affected by the spill," said Pat Montanio, Director of NOAA's Office of Habitat Programs. "From wetland enhancements to dam removals to shoreline improvements, these projects are designed to compensate the public for the loss of nature's benefits following the spill."
The PFBC's portion of the payment will be used to remove three dams and a remnant bridge pier from Darby Creek, a tributary of the Delaware River in southeastern Pennsylvania, followed by restoration of nearby riparian – or bank – areas.
"Despite extraordinary work by state and federal agencies in the clean-up of the Athos 1 spill, the recovery of damages caused by oil spills is an important part of restoring our natural resources to a pre-spill condition," said PFBC Executive Director John Arway. "Although no amount of money can fully compensate for the losses, this payment provides important funding for restoration projects that will benefit the aquatic resources of the Delaware River basin."
The objective of the Darby Creek project is to improve stream health by restoring degraded habitat and associated plant and animal communities, according to Scott Carney, Chief of the PFBC Division of Habitat Management. The project also will decrease localized flooding during high water events.
"The Commission and various partners have already successfully removed about 15 dams in this general area and have documented resulting improvements to in-stream and riparian habitat conditions," said Carney. "We expect to see similar results when we remove these three dams."
The dams which are scheduled to be removed include a partially breached dam in Darby Borough, Hoffman Dam and a dam in Kent Park, all of which are in Delaware County. The engineering designs for the removals and associated improvements have been completed and state and federal permits have been obtained. Work is expected to begin this winter and be completed by early summer. American Rivers, a national river advocacy organization, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection are partnering with the PFBC to advance this important project.
On Nov. 26, 2004, the Athos I, a large cargo vessel, struck a submerged anchor while preparing to dock in Paulsboro, N.J. The anchor punctured the hull, spilling nearly 265,000 gallons of crude oil into the Delaware River, which impacted more than 280 miles of shoreline, affecting habitats, aquatic life, birds and other wildlife, as well as hindering recreational use of the river.
Under the federal Oil Pollution Act, states and designated federal agencies are trustees that evaluate the damage to and loss of natural resources from an oil spill and restore the habitat and resources to pre-existing conditions. The owners of the Athos I exceeded oil spill liability limits established under the Act, so the trustees submitted a claim to the U.S. Coast Guard National Pollution Funds Center.
"We are very pleased that the Delaware River ecosystem damaged during the oil spill now has the resources for us to work with our partners to implement numerous restoration projects," said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Acting Director Rowan Gould. "Our goal is restore habitat for local fish and wildlife so future generations can enjoy the natural beauty of the Delaware River."
"This payment benefits the fish, birds and other wildlife of the Delaware River by restoring the marshes, shorelines, oyster reefs and other habitats wildlife depend upon," said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Northeast Regional Director Marvin Moriarty.
"These projects will benefit coastal communities and economies by providing green jobs during construction and creating new opportunities to enjoy the river and its wildlife," said David Kennedy, Acting Assistant Administrator for NOAA's National Ocean Service. "This funding also underscores the effectiveness of the Oil Pollution Act, and what state and federal partners can accomplish when they work closely together."
The projects will include:
The mission of the Fish and Boat Commission is to protect, conserve, and enhance the Commonwealth's aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities. For more information about fishing and boating in Pennsylvania, please visit our website at www.fishandboat.com.

The Perfect Candidates are Ready, Willing, and Able for Employers to Find Them Onlineby Rebecca Levinson
Searching for the perfect candidate is a difficult task when there are plenty of prospects on the market. The problem with multiple opportunities is in separating the wheat from the chafe. Today, because of the increase in the unemployment ranks, Job seekers apply for a variety of positions even if the skill set they currently have is off the mark from the description listed in an employment ad. The tight market has made job seekers think about future employment in a more open minded manner. The old confines and constraints that a position would normally hold in a fast paced employment market (i.e. travel, salary, benefits) have become secondary to job seekers. Job seekers who have been out of work for awhile or who have immediate financial constraints are willing to forgo their desires for the immediate need of employment today.
How does an employer sift through applications to find their "glass slippered" candidate? Here are the top three ways to find the employee that fits your employment ad.
1. Circulate
Get back to networking at its most fundamental level. Networking among peers for recommendations is still a top notch way to find qualified prospects for the employment ad you're looking to fill. Don't stop with immediate business associates who you come into physical contact with daily or even once in a while. Network online using business social networking sites. LinkedIn allows you to connect with employees, employers and contractors in a social atmosphere. Join groups that cater to your specialties and interests and you will soon be networking with like-minded business professionals. Use the keyword search tool to find contractors and job seekers in the network and peruse their business profiles and recommendations. Post questions to other business owners on how they found top candidates online and put their recommendations to use.
Extend your reach even further by purchasing a premium account so that you can reach out to recruiters and send direct "inmails" (emails) with the normal free account restraints.
2. Permeate
All of a company's online advertising efforts need to filter through every branch of opportunity. Spread your roots and extend the reach of your employment ad by using simple syndication. The best syndication is the "set it and forget it", low maintenance approach. Create a branded employment ad with a detailed description of your job specifications and requirements. Go for the gusto. You need to be succinct and to the point without cutting away too quickly from the details. Include your expectations and some of your wish list too. This will help to filter out the meat and potato prospects from the garnish on your application plate.
Choose a cost effective solution that will syndicate your employment ad and do the heavy lifting for you. Job seekers aren't just on Monster.com or HotJobs, they are reaching out across niches, job boards and social networks across the Web 2.0 space. Online advertising companies who continuously ad new websites to their syndication list will provide you with the reach you need for your employment ad.
3. Infiltrate
Who you know is important. Getting to know the connections of who you know is just as important. Take some time to create a well with a link to your company and clear contact information. Invite people you know to connect with you on Twitter and advertise your Twitter account on your website and employment opportunities page. Seek out potential candidates by using a simple search function of twitter or a more advanced search application created for twitter.
Talk about your company- its perks, its searches, its qualities, its products, its likes, its and dislikes by microblogging online. By using a platform like Twitter to microblog and in 140 characters or less, you can build a branding history behind your company. Who you know will connect you with people whom you might like to know. Associate with these people and they can connect you with even more people.
Suddenly who you know becomes an expansive and endless opportunity for you to find candidates who are ready, willing and able for employers to find them online

How oh How I would love to have my fingers, my mouth and my cock replace your beautiful classy fingers. Those pussy lips and your beautiful clit deserve years of kissing, licking and sucking. As for your tight ass I would get crazy if I could taste it and penetrate it with my tongue, fingers and cock.

I suppose I have to accept the insanity that some glassy-eyed Republicans are considering voting for Barack Obama, but I don't have to like it.
Whether or not this is an example of the liberal media trying to create rather than report news, The New York Times is reporting that small enclaves of Republicans are meeting around the country to discuss their support for Obama. Let's call them "support groups."
One such support group in Indiana is calling its attendees "whispering Republicans." Fittingly, these renegades, as the Times called them, met over iced tea and brownies, as if to signify the sweetness of their move toward the other party's "unity" candidate. At the meeting, they "took turns explaining why they liked Mr. Obama and recalling the strange stares from other Republicans."
Why would they call disapproving stares "strange"? I'd say they were perfectly normal, considering Obama's far-left plans for America.
One member of the Indiana kumbaya group reported: "It was sort of like a group therapy session. We all wanted to make sure we weren't a little crazy."
Yes, definitely a support group. But no, they aren't crazy -- just staggeringly incoherent, naive and nauseatingly gullible concerning Obama's utopian promises.
Indeed, one thing attracting these 12-step groups to Obama is his "emphatic message that he is not a partisan politician." And how do we know he's not a partisan politician?
Is it that he's running as an Independent, perhaps? No, that's not it. Is it that he and his handlers aren't savagely attacking John McCain every chance they get? No, that's obviously not it, either.
The answer is that he is a liberal and he says he's not partisan. He says he loves all other nations and believes we should listen closely to them and not go off half-cocked like the evil imperial power that we are and "occupy" other nations.
Forget that these are clearly partisan themes. It doesn't count when you're a liberal. If you say you'll bring people together, why, you must be taken at your word because liberalism is synonymous with good will, peace, harmony, nirvana, hope and change.
What happens when about half the nation becomes repulsed by Obama's efforts to socialize medicine, use the tax code to redistribute wealth even more radically, retreat and surrender in Iraq despite the turning of the tide in that war and the consequences that would flow, negotiate with terrorists, and inject even more life into social liberalism?

text: More on Feelings, Opinions, Judgments, and Hypotheses Posted on Jun 04, 2014 Originally published Nov. 30, 2008 I thought this essay deserved resurrection because of recent discussions on Facebook about opinions. Someone asserted that all opinions are in fact equal. Below, I argue just the opposite. What this Facebook poster calls "opinions" I call "feelings" as in "I don't like rock music in church," "Apple pie tastes better than pecan." Feelings are personal, everyone has them, and they are equally valid. That's why rhetoricians caution about arguing about matters of taste—there's no way to "prove" what tastes best, which color is a favorite, and so on. Though all feelings may be created equal, all opinions/judgments/hypotheses are not. Incidentally, my "hypothesis" at the end turned out to be terribly wrong, sorry to say. If only. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hardly a day slips by without my hearing or reading "That's just my opinion," as if to say don't bother to examine my statements closely, since they're just idle chatter. It's almost an apology. But what about this: "Obama has been worshipped by the media." Chatter, or a serious point? Or "Only an idiot would support Sarah Palin as a serious candidate for the presidency." Or "Democrats will turn America into a socialist country." Since we're now blanketed by similar statements from bloggers and bloviators, opinionizing deserves special attention. Not all opinions are created equal, nor are they endowed by their creators with facts, logic, and the pursuit of effectiveness. Whole classes of opinions are designed to provoke a quick gut-level response from either conservatives or liberals. These are called "polemics," and the vast majority of current "opinions" fall into this category. Those three assertions with which I began are polemics, and when offered in a public forum, generate plenty of responses, meaning still more polemics. It's a form of entertainment, and the anonymity of blogged responses to columns or news stories encourages bloggers to create veritable towers of babble. None dare call them enlightening. Except for a precious thoughtful few, they're verbal pornography, designed more for arousal than for understanding. Another class of statements, however, is based on facts, examples, and logic. Such assertions deserve analysis, followed by agreement or refutation. These I would call judgments, and I respect them. Instead of the polemic "Obama has been worshipped by the media," one might assert, "Obama's ideas on the environment are similar to editorial positions of several mainstream newspapers." That's a statement that can be supported or refuted, and doesn't create an immediate visceral response. It's potentially fact-based, and therefore worth far more than two cents. The columnists I read most often write more about judgments rather than polemics: Thomas Friedman, David Brooks, Leonard Pitts, and Kathleen Parker come to mind. But not Ann Coulter or Sean Hannity, who polemicize for profit and not much fun. Another class of statements deserves serious attention, more so than either polemics or opinions and judgments. These are the conclusions that derive from research based on extended readings of historical events, laboratory experiments, direct observation and experience, or some combination. Here is where knowledge of our world and its workings gets created and shared, and which we ignore at our peril. I call them "hypotheses" for want of a better term. Understanding hypotheses takes a good deal of energy and time, and they aren't found in the rants that pass for commentary on cable news channels or blogs. Nor does it come from right-wing pulpits, where faith-based assertions can overwhelm common sense and logic. Though faith and religion deserve study in schools, they don't belong in political decisions or in science classrooms. That's a judgment, by the way, not a polemic. Some hypotheses can be highly controversial, and have become the subject of extended debates among specialists and laypeople alike: "The World Trade Center Building collapsed from a controlled demolition, not just from jetliners flown by terrorists." And "JFK was shot both from behind and in front, so Lee Harvey Oswald could not have acted alone." Citizens need to take time to study the logic, facts, and sources behind such hypotheses and decide where the truth lies. Some opinions and hypotheses, to be blunt, are just plain wrong, and deserve oblivion. Incidentally, in my opinion, both of those conspiracy hypotheses are wrong, based on cherry-picked or faulty evidence. My advice, then: ignore polemics unless you find them entertaining. They're mostly just distractions. Judgments and hypotheses, however, are the stuff of adult conversations and deserve attention, even analysis. Feelings are merely personal tastes made as assertions. Judgments and valid hypotheses can make all the difference when understood and applied. Here's a judgment that I hope will prove to be a valid hypothesis: The current economic crisis will force Democrats and Republicans to put their country ahead of their political parties and cooperate on a range of solutions. [June 4, 2014] And what a shame I was wrong—the country is still divided, still ruled by polemics, and therefore still stalled, thanks to a perfect storm of misguided politicians, angry Fox-news viewers, stoked by virulent polemicists, and a visceral hatred of President Obama among right-wing fringe elements.

Oct 6, 2012. The Courier published this piece on Sunday, January 28, 2007. Dem and GOP candidates were just beginning to campaign. Somehow, I predicted that Obama would win over Hillary for the Democratic nomination, and McCain would beat out Romney for the GOP nomination. And that Obama would beat McCain for the election! Have to say, ahem, this was pretty accurate. Of course, Sarah Palin was an obscure governor at the time, so the prediction is even more remarkable, if not downright bizarre. Have to say, I do predict here and now that Obama will win the election over Romney, simply because Romney is the weaker candidate on all fronts. Here's that 5 3/4-year-old column: 1-28-07 Howard Dean did it. So did Ed Muskie. Michael Dukakis did too, and just a few days ago, Hillary. I mean, they all looked terribly un-presidential for a camera. The President of the United States needs to project dignity, gravitas, a seriousness of purpose that help his or her fellow citizens believe they're competent, if not always inspiring. So when Howard Dean screamed like a goosed cheerleader, and Senator Muskie broke down over a newspaper story questioning his wife's sobriety and propriety, and Governor Dukakis peeped his helmeted head out of a tank he was driving, looking like a whack-em doll, their political fortunes were spent. Hillary, however, gained by getting publicly verklempft because she seemed real at last. Normally a policy wonk, in New Hampshire after her loss in Iowa she seemed genuinely movable, more human than politician. I guess a future president needs to look human occasionally, especially when they usually seem robotically controlled. Still, in our age of instant imagery, a general rule remains: Look like a president, act like a president, and someday you might become a president. However, not necessarily a good president. Warren G. Harding remains the model president-image. He looked perfect for the part: Tall, handsome to a fault, a commanding physical presence. Yet he made a terrible president. He did virtually nothing for just over two years, then died of a heart attack. Even he believed he deserved oblivion, saying "I am not fit for this office and never should have been there." Actually, that level of honesty almost redeems him. Which brings me to our current crop of candidates. Some in fact do look and act more presidential than others. In order of looking the part, from most to least: McCain first: his long and hard experience shows in every line and knowing look. Romney, with the hint of gray and good looks that make him almost shockingly photogenic. Edwards, who manages to look permanently concerned. Giuliani, whose impish smile comes a bit too readily, but seems at least potentially wise. Huckabee, who looks for all the world like Richard Nixon's brother, right down to the shifty eyes. If he weren't beating the Bible so robustly, he probably wouldn't have made a ripple. Last and least: Hillary and Barack. We've never had a woman or a Black president, so both have to run our national image of a president being a tall white male. So they're both breaking ground in the presidential image department, and more power to them. Now I'm going to go out on a limb and predict not only the candidates, but also the outcome. Save this column, and I'll send a genuine quarter --$.25-- to anyone who sends it to me after the conventions or the election if I'm wrong on either. (Only one quarter per family, please.) The GOP will collectively decide that they have confidence in McCain's presidential appearance and nominate him, despite his advanced age and moderate stance on a number of social issues. The Democrats will opt for making history, damn the imagery baggage and nominate Obama. Hillary will go down fighting, but she will definitely go down. So come next November, we will be choosing between the old candidate who looks presidential, John McCain, and the young candidate who looks like no other candidate in our history. And we will choose Obama. President Barack Obama. Why? Three reasons: 1. George W. Bush the man. He did look presidential at times, though he never did speak or think much like a real president. And look what a complete mess he's made. Anybody and anything associated with him will get short shrift from voters. McCain strike one. 2. George W. Bush and Iraq. Unless we're making undeniable progress there, we're going to want to quit and spend our foreign policy billions where they might actually do some good. Guess which candidate supports Bush's policies most. McCain strike two. 3. George W. Bush and issues: The economy, health care, immigration, and social security. All problematic and getting worse. All unsolved. All crying for solutions that the old guard hasn't been able to find. McCain strike three. And he's out. And that's my two-bits worth. Go comment!

The Radiologists and staff at Pikeville Medical Center provide the highest quality diagnostic and interventional services in a caring and efficient manner. The Diagnostic Imaging Department has been a crucial service at PMC for more than seven decades.
Our board certified Radiologists are experts who consult with specialists in other departments to provide care to every patient every day. Radiologists work with state-of-the-art equipment, skilled technologists and nurses, to perform tests and interpret results in the imaging and treatment of disease affecting patients of all ages.
Of importance to many physicians, the turn-around time for the PMC Diagnostic Imaging Department has been tremendously reduced.�With�new digital imaging technologies such as Digital X-rays and the PACS Image Archiving System, turn-around times�have been�greatly reduced, and, in many cases, almost totally eliminated.
Our latest developments in radiology include:
In addition, there are multiple locations operated by Pikeville Medical Center which offer radiological services. The Diagnostic Center (click for a map) offers patients X-ray, bone density and a dedicated PET scanner.
MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) uses radio waves and a strong magnetic
field rather than x-rays to provide clear and detailed pictures of
internal organs and tissues. MRI has been used to study almost every
joint in the body including the knee, shoulders, spine, hips, wrists,
and hands because it gives such clear pictures of soft tissue
structures near and around bones. MRI is widely used to diagnose
sports-related injuries, as well as work-related disorders caused by
repeated strain, vibration, or forceful impact. PMC features the Espree 1.5T MRI and the Verio 3.0T MRI which
provides claustrophobic and larger patients with more room than ever!
CT (computed tomography), sometimes called CAT scan uses special x-ray equipment to obtain many images from different angles, and then join them together to show a cross-section of body tissues and organs. It can show bone, soft tissues, and blood vessels in the same images.
Pikeville Medical Center now has a brand new Toshiba Aquilion One 320 slice scanner and will be installing a second one in the coming months.� We also recently installed a large bore Toshiba Aquillion scanner in our Oncology department. We also have 2 64 slice scanners.
Bone Density Scans
Bone density scans are used to detect osteoporosis (a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue) before a fracture occurs, and to monitor changes in bone density in response to treatment. Osteoporosis is often called the �silent disease� because bone loss occurs without symptoms. People may not know they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a fracture or a vertebra to collapse.
Fluoroscopy is a technique for obtaining live X-ray images of a patient. The Radiologist uses a switch to control an X-Ray beam that is transmitted through the patient. The Radiologist can watch the images live on a TV monitor. Fluoroscopy is often used to observe the digestive tract.
Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear medicine uses safe, painless, and cost-effective techniques both to image the body and treat disease. Nuclear medicine imaging is unique in that it documents organ function and structure. Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive materials or radiopharmaceuticals to diagnose and treat disease. The amount of radiation from a nuclear medicine procedure is comparable to that received during a diagnostic x-ray.
PET (Positron Emission Tomography) Scan is rapidly becoming a major diagnostic imaging tool used predominantly in determining the presence and severity of cancers, neurological conditions, and cardiovascular disease. PET images demonstrate the chemistry or organs and other issues such as tumors. It is currently the most effective way to check for cancer recurrences. We are currently evaluating a new PET CT for the Diagnostic Center.
Ultrasound Imaging
Ultrasound imaging is a method of seeing inside the human body through the use of high-frequency sound waves. The sound waves are recorded and displayed as a real-time visual image. No radiation is involved in ultrasound imaging. Ultrasound is a useful way of examining many of the body�s internal organs, including the heart, liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, and is also widely used to view the fetus. PMC has the GE Logiq E9 Ultrasound which offers extraordinary image quality and advanced diagnostic capabilities.
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation just like visible light. They can be emitted by specially designed machines which create photons (individual X-ray particles) with high energies which can pass through the body and be detected by film. Structures that are dense (such as bone) will block most of the photons, and will appear white on developed film. Structures containing air will be black on film, and muscle, fat, and fluid will appear as shades of gray.
Digital X-rays
Pikeville Medical Center now features�a Digital X-ray system and PACS (Picture Archiving System). Digital X-rays will have a major speed advantage over traditional film X-ray images. Digital X-Rays can be transferred to almost anywhere within seconds. Not hours.� With the PACS systems, physicians miles away can see diagnostic images mere seconds after the patient has been scanned.

Murdoch's WSJ Changes Creates Opening for NYT, FT
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On April 24, 2008 @ 10:00 am In Corporate Management,Financial Press,M&A | Comments Disabled
Is Rupert Murdoch's altering of the Wall Street Journal creating an opening for his competitors?
That was one of the topics we discussed at Tuesday evening's NYU lecture [1] on media, business, and blogging. This morning, we are going to briefly explore that.
In the past, I have offered up advice to various media. I have offered solicited advice to the WSJ about their blogs [2], and unsolicited advice about their subscription model [3]. I have also consulted for several magazines in the financial space — a time wasting and frustrating experience.
[4]Today, I am going to offer some free advice to competitors of the WSJ, the New York Times, and to a lesser degree, the FT. In particular, I want to look at how the changes at the Journal may be potentially creating a strategic opening for the Times. Free advice is worth what it costs, so take from it what you may.
When Murdoch took over Dow Jones, he had some very specific plans in mind for the crown jewels of the company, the Wall Street Journal. Murdoch recognizes that the WSJ dominates the space for business and financial reporting. Just imagine what we could do with that platform, went the thinking, if we could only extend that reach and influence beyond financial news. In short, become more like the NYT.
In my opinion, this is a deeply misguided and risky undertaking, driven more by ego than profit motive.
Allow me to explain.
The WSJ is, at present, a must read news source for the financial industry. At our NYU lecture [1], it was noted that nearly half of WSJ 2 million subscriptions are expensed — meaning, the subs are a tool for the employee paid for by the office. NYT subs, by comparison, are expensed in the single digit percentages.
Its easy to understand why: The Journal has traditionally been a pure business paper, covering corporate activity, Wall Street, venture capital, business travel, investment banking, commodities, fixed income, currencies, corporate earnings, economic matters, SEC issues, etc. There was a smattering of related non business coverage easily justified by the advertising it brought in, along with a few odd stories that broke up the otherwise wall to wall business coverage.
Murdoch's changes are both ambitious and perplexing: He is seeking to shift the Journal's coverage to include much more politics, more elections, more general government activity. The Journal itself reported the move to "put short articles on the front page or the
fronts of sections that would not continue on inside pages." The fear that paper might shift rightward in its news coverage has proven to be unfounded (so far); instead, it is the topics and subjects covered that is what is shifting. Coverage of Financial news is losing out to Mr. Murdochs true love: Politics.
In other words, Murdoch is "De-Financializing" the paper. The coverage looks to becoming less business and money oriented, and more of a general interest paper — kinda like what the Washington Post and the New York Times already do.
In trying to extend the WSJ's reach, Murdoch has left open its flank. That creates the opportunity for shrewd operators to expand their Business news. Hence, the opportunity for would be Journal's competitors, and in particular, the NYT, to go after the Journal's audience. The business goal would be to capture a significant percentage of the Journal's expensed subscriptions.
How? First, I would beef up the business pages. Hire additional staff, especially the reporters at the WSJ itself. Second, raid the most popular WSJ blogs. They have some terrific coverage there, and that would carry over well to the NYT.com site. Even if unsuccessful in the hires, it makes the operation of the WSJ more costly — a technique not unfamiliar to Murdoch. Expand the business video coverage, using embeddable flash. Lastly, take the very successful Dealbook [5] model — close integration of the blog, newspaper columns, and email list — and clone it to other related business issues: Marketbeat, RealTime Economics, etc.
When a great General extends his army in reaching to conquer far flung lands, a flank gets open. It creates strategic opportunities for competitors. How, and when they take advantage of the opportunity is up to them…
UPDATE: April 24, 2008 1:14pm
I totally agree the the FT is a viable competitor also; indeed, the
opportunity is there — the "flank" is exposed — but I don't know if
the NYT has the capability to respond in an aggressive manner. (I'll add FT to the title)
Once the WSJ jumps from CNBC to Fox Business, it will be a race between NYT and FT to see who else slips into that slot.

Merial introduces LONGRANGE dewormer
Merial has released LONGRANGE (eprinomectin), an extended-release injectable cattle dewormer that provides cattle producers season-long persistent parasite control for 100 to 150 days in a single dose, dependent on parasite species.
The parasite protection LONGRANGE provides lasts long enough to break the parasite life cycle and reduce parasite burdens on the pasture. It takes about 100 days of continuous parasite control to break the parasite life cycle and begin to reduce the parasite burden on the pasture. The resulting benefit of breaking the parasite life cycle is better-performing cattle throughout the grazing season and pastures with lower parasite loads.
"LONGRANGE gives cattle producers a new way to think about parasite control," says Joe Dedrickson, DVM, Ph.D., director of Merial field veterinary services. "Instead of treating cattle up to three to four times during the grazing season, which is what would be required from conventional dewormers, LONGRANGE gives cattle producers the option of a single treatment that will last all season. This means less labor for producers and less cattle stress and shrink."
THERAPHASE Technology
The season-long persistent parasite control of LONGRANGE is possible because of unique THERAPHASE Technology. THERAPHASE Technology releases the active ingredient in LONGRANGE for an extended period after injection (at least 100 days).
"THERAPHASE Technology creates one initial therapeutic peak of LONGRANGE quickly following the injection," explains Dr. Dedrickson. "Beginning about 70 days after the injection, the THERAPHASE Technology releases a second burst of eprinomectin, the active ingredient in LONGRANGE. This creates a second peak of LONGRANGE and is what helps provide producers season-long control."
LONGRANGE offers excellent efficacy against economically important parasites and hard-to-kill parasites.
"The short amount of time LONGRANGE stays at sub-therapeutic levels, helps ensure the product does not select for resistance any more than products currently on the market," explains Dr. Dedrickson.
Impact of Parasite Control Practices
Of all the animal health practices used for increasing production, treating beef cows for parasites gives the greatest economic return of up to $201 per head.6 This includes improved reproduction and earlier calving, leading to earlier weight gain in calves.
Studies have shown cattle treated with LONGRANGE gain more weight than control cattle. At seven study sites, weight gain was measured before treatment and at study day 120. Across the sites, cattle treated with LONGRANGE gained more weight than control cattle. At six of the seven study sites, the difference in weight gain was statistically significant.
Prescribing Practices
LONGRANGE has all the benefits of a complicated and expensive strategic parasite control program in a single spring dose of 1 mL/110 lbs. of body weight.
When given at the recommended dose volume, LONGRANGE is effective in the treatment and control of the following internal and external parasites of cattle:

Ask Well: The Laxative Effect of Prunes
December 1, 2015,
Some authors of a 1990s study worry that it oversold the long-term benefits of medication, discouraging important therapy.
The tactics used by pharmaceutical companies to drive up diagnosis and sales of their drugs were brazen, often misleading and sometimes deceitful.
Diagnoses have soared as makers of the drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have found success with a two-decade marketing campaign.
How educational policy and the D.S.M. helped to make a disorder go viral.
A new study says a genetic defect may play a role in causing hyperactive behavior, suggesting that at least in some cases, hyperactivity can have a neurobiological root.
Federal health officials said the increase was fresh evidence of the unexpected consequences that can result from the wide use of medicines for conditions like attention deficit disorder.
The finding that hyperactive children who take stimulant medication do not have lower risk over all for later substance abuse contradicts a longstanding and influential message.
A lawsuit filed by the parents of a Harvard student who killed himself says that their son was misdiagnosed with A.D.H.D. and that the diagnostic procedure did not meet medical standards.
Misuse of attention deficit drugs has become a problem on campuses, and colleges are reconsidering how — and even if — their student health offices should try to diagnose A.D.H.D.
Is the rise in reported cases of A.D.H.D. in school-age children accurate, and are the potent drugs to treat it being overused?

Oscillation Throttle by Oliver VernonJuxtapoz // Friday, 15 Oct 2010
Oliver Vernon has been working on a series titled Oscillation Throttle. Unifying the seeming polarities that comprise much of the artists work and encapsulating the paintings on canvas into a coherent statement expressing form and formless, this series examines themes within Vernon's works from the years 2007 to the present.
Working with acrylics and gouache for many of these works on canvas, Vernon reverts to his roots while exploring the multitudes of patterns and layers to create yet another cosmological and architectural system of worlds, living and breathing and in constant flux with one other.
With each work teeming with its own unique essence and expresses itself through a visual language that is dynamic, yet consistent in its approach, a holistic worldview emerges. Meditations on the swirling energies and currents which continually surround us are prominent themes in Vernon's works, and the interplay between those energies and the form based world through which they journey comprise the aesthetic and conceptual qualities on which the works presented are based.
Oscillation Throttle will be on view from October 15 to November 13, 2010 at Meta Gallery.
Opening reception will be on Friday October 15 from 7-10pm. Artist in attendance.

Justin Marshall's motions for a new first-degree murder trial and a suspension of his conviction have been denied.
Judge Sean McPartland issued the ruling Thursday, meaning Marshall will go forward with sentencing Friday. Marshall, 22, faces an automatic life sentence for the Oct. 8, 2009, shooting death of 64-year-old John Versypt at the Broadway Condominiums
Marshall was found guilty in February of gunning down Versypt, of Cordova, Ill., in a stairway at the Broadway Condominiums. Police and prosecutors said it was a robbery gone awry.
Rather than finding Marshall guilty of pulling the trigger, jurors said he was guilty of aiding and abetting or joint criminal conduct, which means he was present for the murder. The punishment for first-degree murder aiding and abetting is equal to the punishment for first-degree murder.
But at a hearing earlier this week, Marshall's attorney Thomas Gaul argued that jurors should not have had the option to find his client guilty of aiding and abetting. Gaul said the state failed to prove Marshall acted with anyone.
Johnson County Attorney Janet Lyness disagreed and said the evidence supports a conviction.
