We've received several reports of ISA Server Standard Edition restart failures after installation of April's security updates.
<Update>ISA Server 2006 update releasedISA Server 2004 update released</Update>
The error message observed in this circumstance is: "Event ID 14109 (The ISA Server Standard Edition cannot run. Either the server is using more than 4 processors....)."
Notes: 1. this specific problem only affects ISA Server Standard Edition and only when it's running on a computer that has a total of more than 4 CPU cores.2. this issue does not affect Forefront TMG (MBE)
The problem occurs when you install the MS09-012 patch under very specific circumstances. The Windows Sustained Engineering team is producing a detailed explanation of this behavior for the MS09-012 bulletin articles and will post that as soon as it's ready.
In the meantime, you can employ the following workaround to put your ISA Server back in service:
1. log on to the computer using a local administrator account2. click the Start button, select Run3. in the Run dialog, enter cmd and click OK4. in the command window a. type attrib -a -s -r -h c:\boot.ini and hit Enter b. type notepad c:\boot.ini and hit Enter5. at the end of the line under [operating systems], enter /numprocs=4 Note: if you have multiple boot entries, you should add this entry to the end of the line that is used to boot the default OS instance where ISA Server runs6. save the boot.ini file7. in the command window, type attrib +a +s +r +h c:\boot.ini and hit Enter8. reboot your computer

We experienced a different problem with this patch.
After it was applied all PPTP VPN connection attempts failed with the following error reported in the log.

De afgelopen periode was nogal een periode van veranderingen. Zo was er de bijna overname van Sun door
News Security The Challenge of Information Security Management, Part 1
I just applied the last set of updates to my ISA 2006 server. Single CPU, hyperthreaded.
After applying the updates I could not get my VPN clients to connect, same as previous entries.
I then removed KB956572 and KB952004, rebooted and was then able to get my VPN clients to connect.
Since applying these updates RAS does not start automatically any more, so I am assuming there are other problems with some of the updates that were applied.
Error message WSAECONNREFUSED when trying to PPTP to ISA Sever. Same solution as SNORBERG.
After removing KB956572 and KB952004 RAS on ISA Server was listening again on port 1723.
We have had this same issue but for a different patch -from June 2013.
This fix worked but we have an 8 core HP server now running with 4 processors.
Hi All
Same issue as Rich above, but in July 2013 - Must be another update that caused it but not sure which. I had installed updates yesterday evening and after reboot no ISA. The mod above has got it back online but with only 4 cpu. would like to find a proper solution? Any ideas anyone?
I had the same problem with Latest updates. Did it happen to you on SBS 2003?
Got the same problem now with the latest patches. Not sure which of them.
Please try to find the fault...... We're running our server on half impulse.....
Just had the same issue tonight after installing updates today. Just reducing the cores, and rebooting
Update: Reducing the cores via the boot.ini file worked fine.
I then installed the hotfix 932370 as detailed in KB970450 and KB970454, reverted the boot.ini back to as it was (all cores) and rebooted - ISA starts this time and all 8 cores back again.
Still not sure which update actually did the deed, but at least it seems to resolve it for the time being.
I can probably list the ones it did update here later on, so that others can see if they did the same.
I just updated our SBS 2003 with ISA2004 (SP3) and have same problem. I printed out the updates applied prior to the reboot:

Neetu Chandran: From Bihar to Bollywood
31st Oct 2005 20.36 IST
By Nikhil Kumar
Neetu Chandran is playing the 'hot girl' in Priyadarshan's Diwali release Garam Masala .
It has been a "slogging" journey for Neetu from Bihar to the film industry in Mumbai. Three years ago, this spunky girl left her hometown and headed for Mumbai to make her own place in the showbiz industry.
A black belt in Taekwando, Neetu provided for her sustenance by doing several ads and some movies down south. And all this while, she had the support of her two friends and her brother, who came to Mumbai to give her company in a city that was alien to her.
Neetu's big break came with Priyadarshan's Garam Masala that pitches her opposite Akshay Kumar .
In the film, Neetu plays a hot girl. Among the other newcomers in the movie, Daisy Bopanna plays a cute babe, while Nargis plays a shy girl.
"I'm all about short skirts and long strides in Garam Masala," Neetu is quoted as saying.
Neetu also downplays the much-spoken-about spats with her co-star Daisy while shooting for the movie. She deems it natural for newcomers to be insecure about their respective parts in the movie. Neetu denies there are any negative vibes between any of the three girls.
As for Garam Masala, Neetu is thankful to the movie's producers, Venus, and director Priyadarshan .
She is also all praise for Akshay Kumar who, she says, helped her immensely during the shooting.
Garam Masala will hit the theatres on November 2, along with Priyadarshan's other movie Kyon Ki .

|Necrosis of lung epithelial cells during infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is preceded by cell permeation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11035739 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Mycobacterium tuberculosis establishes infection, progresses towards disease, and is transmitted from the alveolus of the lung. However, the role of the alveolar epithelium in any of these pathogenic processes of tuberculosis is unclear. In this study, lung epithelial cells (A549) were used as a model in which to examine cytotoxicity during infection with either virulent or avirulent mycobacteria in order to further establish the role of the lung epithelium during tuberculosis. Infection of A549 cells with M. tuberculosis strains Erdman and CDC1551 demonstrated significant cell monolayer clearing, whereas infection with either Mycobacterium bovis BCG or Mycobacterium smegmatis LR222 did not. Clearing of M. tuberculosis-infected A549 cells correlated to necrosis, not apoptosis. Treatment of M. tuberculosis-infected A549 cells with streptomycin, but not cycloheximide, demonstrated a significant reduction in the necrosis of A549 cell monolayers. This mycobacterium-induced A549 necrosis did not correlate to higher levels of intracellular or extracellular growth by the mycobacteria during infection. Staining of infected cells with propidium iodide demonstrated that M. tuberculosis induced increased permeation of A549 cell membranes within 24 h postinfection. Quantitation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release from infected cells further demonstrated that cell permeation was specific to M. tuberculosis infection and correlated to A549 cellular necrosis. Inactivated M. tuberculosis or its subcellular fractions did not result in A549 necrosis or LDH release. These studies demonstrate that lung epithelial cell cytotoxicity is specific to infection by virulent mycobacteria and is caused by cellular necrosis. This necrosis is not a direct correlate of mycobacterial growth or of the expression of host cell factors, but is preceded by permeation of the A549 cell membrane and requires infection with live bacilli.

I looked at Burn at the Stake and thought it could be made into a fun combo deck that could possibly be a competitive deck as well.
Lingering Souls Token generator to get blockers and get ready for Burn at the Stake. Also the flashback is a big bonus that cannot be turned up so easily.
Krenko's Command Also another generator and fuel. It cost only 2 but can cost 1 if Goblin Electormancer is on the field
Reforge the Soul, Desperate Ravings and Faithless Looting grabs me the cards I need to build my graveyard and also my hand to start the combo off.
Desperate Ravings A good card drawer and randomly puts a card in your hand to the grave. This is usually beneficial because everything is just going to get flashbacked! Unless it's a creature D:
Faithless Looting Draw 2, discard 2? I'll take it! Feeds your grave and makes you dig faster!
Battle Hymn Is your best friend in this deck. In gets you a lot of mana from your tokens and you can start a lot of fun stuff.
Past in Flames Gives everything flasback! More tokens! Battle Hymn flashback is just ridiculous.
Shattered Perception Allows me to discard my hand and draw some fresh new cards
Goblin Electromancer helps everything thing cost 1 less, which can make all of the token generating cards as well as card draw to be that much more effective.
Augur of Bolas Just allows me to dig for the cards I need and get my card drawing started. Also a blocker for aggro just incase if it comes to that.
Burn at the Stake is the card that will win you the game in one quick swipe.
If you have any ideas please comment them, and if you like the deck give it a +1!
Well, I had my first run with this deck in FNM and the results were better than I expected it to do.I went 3-1-1Results:
First Round:2-0 Against a BUG deck with Unexpected Results. First game he got a stable board but I managed to kill him with Burn At the State turn 4 for 21 points of damage. He got land screwed second game and I had him easily turn 3
Second Round:2-0 Against a Bant Control Deck. I was kind of scared of this match up due to the amount of counter spells in the deck. First game I managed to win because my opponent got flooded with lands. Second Game he had a stable board with Thragtusk, [Master Biomancer]] and a Restoration Angel. I wasn't to worried about it since I had more than enough tokens to pull enough damage off with Burn at the Stake I ran out his counter spells and played it safely and for 27 points of damage turn 6 or 7.
Third Round: 1-1 Against Esper Control. This I think was the hardest match up out of all the games I played. First game I managed to kill him turn 5 Burn at the Stake because he couldn't find a board wipe. Second game he controlled everything with Rest in Peace and killed be with Gideon, Champion of Justice. Third game was just stalling each other out and ending with a tie.
Fourth Round: 2-0 Against Bant Control. This match up didn't scare me as much because I knew what I was going against. First game I ran out his counter spells to play Burn at the Stake He countered a Battle Hymn because it was a surprise to him that I was playing that card, I thought that was funny. Second game no Rest in Peace and he regretted not putting it in the sideboard. I won again turn 4 with Stake.
Final Round: 1-2 Against RUG. This was an interesting match up, I wasn't scared of really anything in his deck because I could just smash him with stake damage. First game was pretty quick, turn 5 Stake for 21 points of damage won it. Second and Third game I did not draw a single card to go off on the combo, and I was getting pounded by beefed up creatures due to Master Biomancer
Overall I was really impressed by it. The deck was easy to run and just a really fun deck to use in general. The sheer amount of tokens that can be produced is just so fun. If anyone wants to try this out, you shall not be disappointed because you get the feeling of killing your opponent with Burn at the Stake

I like the deck gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks
February 21, 2013 5:50 p.m.
@felipe100pipe10 Thanks, and you're welcome! This deck kind of brings some cards that have probably been over looked in standard brought alive in this deck. It actually has done really good in tournament, better then I ever expected.

I think that you should put basic lands to make it a budget deck .What do you think?
February 23, 2013 10:50 a.m.
@felipe100pipe I could totally do that, allowing people who don't have much duel lands to play this deck. I'm taking out some of the duel lands, only the ones that cost quite a bit.

Really like this deck and think I'm going to try make something very similar.
Have you thought of including a few Boros Charm (either main board or sideboard) for protection against board wipes?
April 22, 2013 11:04 a.m.
@GabrielCross I did not think about that until now, I will definitely put it in sideboard, thanks!
April 22, 2013 11:45 a.m.
I like your deck. Seams fun to play. Chandra, the Firebrand seams good to play in it with the -2 ability.
April 26, 2013 2:50 p.m.
@jecder That does seem good to put in, I forgot that she could do that. I'll put her on the maybeboard and think about cards in main or sideboard I could move around. Most likely she'll be sideboard but I'll have to think about what cards to change up. Thanks for the suggestion!
April 27, 2013 7:49 p.m.
Wouldn't Gather the Townsfolk be > then Krenko's Command ?
April 29, 2013 8:29 a.m.
@Darsul True, Gather the Townsfolk is an awesome card, its fateful hour makes it even better. But due to the lands I have more red rather than white, Also Krenko's Command , which is red can be casted off mana from Battle Hymn , which only produces red mana. I benefit more from using Krenko's Command rather than Gather the Townsfolk
April 29, 2013 11:10 p.m.
So i played a very similar variant of your deck without a sideboard and went 4-1. i really love your deck. took 3rd out of 20
April 30, 2013 12:46 a.m.
@jecder Thanks! I really loved playing this deck a lot. You can just pull of so much fun stuff with this deck. That's awesome you placed 3rd out of so many people, the deck really does have some power to it

catcherinbaseball says... #13
Since I have never played with this deck, I don't know if this is correct, but I don't think you have enough creatures to make the combo work most of the time or to abuse Battle Hymn . As mentioned above, Gather the Townsfolk is a good choice. + 1.
May 10, 2013 3:30 p.m.
@catcherinbaseball It may seem like that, but I actually do have enough. Due to Krenko's Command and also Lingering Souls I can get quite a nit of creatures out there. Augur of Bolas allows me to find these such items. Past in Flames gives me the ability to flash everything back. Faithless Looting Desperate Ravings allows me to discard certain things and draws me into my combo pieces. So technically I do have enough creatures. And like I said Gather the Townsfolk is a really good card, I love it to death, but it doesn't feed off of Battle Hymn like Krenko's Command does.

Durban's plan to woo mediaComment on this story
Durban - The eThekwini Municipality is tired of the bad press it receives. Its executive council on Tuesday gave the municipality's communication unit the go-ahead to spend R163 000 for the mayor and city manager to meet the editors and journalists of media organisations in Durban and Johannesburg in an effort to "nurture a strong relationship".
Mayor James Nxumalo and city manager S'bu Sithole plan to visit journalists of 15 mainstream newspapers – including the Daily News – community newspapers and various radio and news television bureaus operating in Durban.
Their "secondary targets" include the journalists and editors of News24, Sunday Times, New Age, The Sun Group, Mail and Guardian, Business Day, ANN7 and ENCA in Johannesburg. A budget of R60 000 was approved for the Johannesburg visits. Most of the Johannesburg news organisations have offices in Durban.
A budget of R73 000 was requested to meet the reporters of the Durban bureaus of national newspapers, community newspapers and "KZN bloggers" at venues that include the ICC, Moses Mabhida Stadium and the Sky venue at the Maharani hotel.
No budget had been requested for meetings with the Independent group, which includes the Daily News, Mercury, Isolezwe and Sunday Tribune.
The request raised the ire of opposition councillors who sit on the executive committee.
The DA's caucus leader, Zwakele Mncwango, called the communications unit report and request for funding "unbelievable".
"The only way you are going to get the media to start talking good about the municipality is if you get a clean audit," Mncwango said. "You can't do it by going to meet the media and then expect them to write good things about you. The reason there are (negative) reports is because the communications department takes two days to respond to media requests," Mncwango said to heckles from ANC councillors who asked him how he knew that.
"It's because you feed them negative stories," ANC councillor Nondumiso Cele charged.
Mncwango said it would be better if the city's leadership did an "introspection" on how they dealt with the media before they spent money on meeting it.
"The media will write what they want and it does not matter if you meet them and you can't expect them to write only good stories," he said.
Responding, Nxumalo said he was surprised that Mncwango knew so much about the workings of the media, suggesting he was acting as its spokesman.
DA councillor Heinz De Boer, a former journalist, said that the city should consider the media's strict deadlines and try work around them if they were to improve relations.
"Love them or hate them they are going to write what they want," he said.
ANC councillor Fawzia Peer said the media needed to be transformed and "democratised".
"We can build 1 000 houses and you won't see anything (in the papers) but only the negative," she said.
Deputy city manager for governance, Sipho Cele, said it was wrong to think the intention of the meetings was to get the media to write good stories.
"It is about building and cementing relationships."
According to a report compiled by the city's head of communications, Tozi Mthethwa, media coverage of the municipality over the past year was positive. "Even with negative stories the voice of the municipality is always represented," the report said.
"This represents a departure from the previously non-responsive environment especially because the media was of the view that the municipality was not transparent about its affairs. This perception led to the increase in negative media coverage directed toward the municipality, especially the first quarter of the 2013/4 financial year."
According to the report, during the first quarter of the current financial year the mayor received mostly positive media coverage totalling 71.1 percent, focusing on municipal events, community engagements, marketing projects and campaigns.
"During the same period the mayor received 15.8 percent negative media coverage which focused on service delivery concerns and illegal sales of RDP houses," the report said.
"The negative media coverage increased to 20.9 percent mainly based on negative feedback from members of the public directed at the mayor and several protests due to complaints about the lack of services."
The report added that between March and May, the communications department had received about 119 media enquiries. Thirty-four were still pending, "owing to the fact that officials from certain departments are not forthcoming with information".

Son of Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan takes in first round of NFL draft from Dallas Cowboys war room
IRVING — Dallas Cowboys executives, scouts and coaches weren't the only people in the Cowboys' war room Thursday night for the first round of the NFL draft.
Cowboys executive vice president Charlotte Anderson Jones – Jerry Jones' daughter – said that Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan's son, Faisal, was in the team's draft room. Bandar bin Sultan, a member of the House of Saud, was Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005 and he's a good friend of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
Faisal wore a Cowboys pull-over and sat in the corner of the team's draft room throughout the first round. Most of the time, Faisal sat right behind Cowboys coach Jason Garrett in the room. At times, members of the Jones family talked to Faisal in the room during the first round of the draft.

Here's what just one employer says about his company's ongoing intern program,
"Our relationship with the Raj Soin College of Business has certainly been a win-win for us. The College provides the top-quality students with the foundation we are looking for in future employees," according to Jeff Jaworski of International Truck and Engine Corporation in Springfield.
Every business has both short and long-term projects that often cannot be completed with existing staff. Why not consider hiring a student intern or cooperative education student from the Raj Soin College of Business?
Companies interested in contributing to the development of tomorrow's business leaders while supplementing the skills of their full-time staff can contact the Raj Soin College of Business, firstname.lastname@example.com or (937) 775-2437 or our Director of Career Management, (937) 775-3497 or email@example.com.
Please provide
- A brief job description including desired qualifications and work schedule. Please also specify the pay range or whether the position is unpaid.
- Contact information
The College will work with Career Services to identify qualified students by posting the position online and through announcements targeted to students majoring in areas relevant to the position.
What are the differences between and internship and a cooperative education?
- Students earn academic credit for an internship. Students don't earn credit for their coop experience.
- Both work experiences are related to the student's course of study.
- Both involve faculty guidance and feedback from the student's manager.
- Both can be paid or unpaid.
- Internships require a specific learning contract and/or description of specific projects and a minimum number of hours
- For more detailed information, please visit the Career Services website.

ip_conntrackor conntrack-utils to track connections
- Alternative, cross-platform "pipe" traffic monitor
- Easily customizable: Written in Python
- Combination of conntrack+pipe monitors possible
- Open Framework: Create new monitoring methods
- Support for SLA parameter input (bandwidth allocation)
- Support for SLA violation notification to external services
- Fully documented source code and user manual
- New in version 1.1: Support for conntrack-tools as replacement of the old ip_conntrack module (recent kernels)
Released versions of bwmon can be downloaded here:
- Current release: bwmon-1.1.tar.gz (2012-11-03)

Break your two minutes of brushing time into 30 second segments. Do a wall sit during the first 30, rest during the second 30, wall-sit during the 3rd segment, and rest during the last. It makes sure you brush your teeth long enough, too!
and sit in a squatting position as you brush your teeth
Do wall squats while you brush your teeth - strong gums, strong bums!
While you are brushing your teeth twice a day, rather than stand at the sink doing nothing else, do wall sits! It is an easy way to get in a little leg strength training (great quad exercise) at the beginning and end of the day. No special equipment needed; just a toothbrush, a wall and a clock (or watch).

Weathering the storm
1 comment:
My husband was in Brazil. He is often in another country when we get hit with really bad storms. It is something I've come to accept and understand, even though I really don't like it. It is his job and just something he MUST do. He doesn't like it either. I would have much preferred him to be there with me through the storm, to deal with the leaking front window, etc. Like my oldest said, "I feel safer when daddy is here." Word.ReplyDelete
But here's the thing . . . from your post, I don't think the problem was that he was travelling during a storm. Obviously, that was the impetus. But it seems what was the worst part was that he did not validate your concerns or fears, and that's what really stung. I get that. Maybe he didn't understand HOW upset you were or how scared. I think guys are just dense about a lot of those kind of things. They aren't scared, so they don't get what the big deal is. I would suggest having a conversation about it, and letting him know that when you have concerns, you really need him to HEAR you. Maybe he just doesn't realize that he's not.
I'm sure it will be fine and you will work it out. I've been with my hubs 16 years. We have had some trust-shaking moments of surprise as well. I think everyone does and it's how you weather it that tells you if it's meant to be. I'm sure your's is. Good luck.

Who would've known
that that icy, star-lit night she'd
run home. Run home to
her beautiful home
now engorged in flames.
The fire twisted
and bounced
and thrashed;
it pulled the building to
pieces and ash and dust. It crashed to the ground.
And so the grim stun
ached and chilled at her torso
whilst rapid flames
just ate that house away.
And she could do nothing.
And she did nothing
but cry a stream of tears
and stare,
with the fire burning through
her beautiful home's structure.
Her shirt soaked cold
with cold tears and rain.
It poured overhead
and there was not a chance of setting
this fire to rest.
In the dark, silent night
the fire peered into her
throbbing heart.
Mocking her and her
sweet, sick pain.
With the light of the fire
steaming off her sizzling skin,
the fire went on
to twist and bounce and thrash
until it met it's end like everyone else.
She caught no breath,
and had no breath.
It was her and the fire
and nothing else.

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Maya Road was born in 2003. My sister and I were spending the weekend together, and we went shopping for all of the latest scrapbooking supplies. As we browsed the aisles, we were frustrated by how difficult it was to find unique scrapbooking products and how expensive products were. We started chatting about products we wanted to see, and we brainstormed how we could combine our business knowledge and design skills to produce the unique products for scrapbooking. Thus, Maya Road was formed.
At first, we made limited quantities of these products available to other scrapbooking enthusiasts on eBay and through our individual websites. After much soul-searching, we decided to launch Maya Road nationally with 38 unique products at HIA 2004. Since then we have added over 600 new products to our line including fun lines such as our chipboard collections, sheers, ribbons, fibers and much more!
Maya Road was founded on a belief in each person's creative ability and on the commitment to making high quality scrapbooking products available and affordable to everyone. We believe that scrapbooking and memory keeping should be an everyday event available to everyone.
We provide free ideas cards in stores, as well as free downloadable support information on our website. Our signature products are carried in over 1000 scrapbooking stores in the US, Australia, Canada, the UK and beyond.

That is the question, with a simple answer. Having a theme is always better. A single message makes for a stronger presentation and adds
sophistication to any event or celebration. IDville has the tools to make your next event memorable, or outfit your staff with an assortment of
everyday themed accessories to build employee morale.
Even though National Safety Month comes once a year in June, safety is a year long issue. Each year six million American workers suffer non-fatal
workplace injuries costing U.S. businesses more than $125 billion. Simple steps ward off potential hazards, but it's surprising how often these
precautions are ignored.
Meet On It - Don't wait for an incident to review standard safety procedures. Plan a meeting once a month as a refresher for all
employees, not just for those in a production capacity or who work with machinery. Plenty of risks exist in any environment. Add props,
skits or handouts to emphasize your points, and have prizes for impromptu quizzes on the information you covered. Hand out
Safety First themed badge reels and lanyards as a daily, wearable reminder that safety is important.
Post It - Knowledge is power. Make safety information readily available for all employees. Use an employee intranet site to get the
word out about safety issues.
Check It - Perform unscheduled safety checks. Make sure all equipment is working properly and all regular maintenance is performed.
Look for hazards in your hallways such as damaged flooring or carpet that can easily be tripped over, especially on a stairwell. Have
fully-stocked first-aid kits available and let employees know where they are. Designate a first responders team before incidents happen,
and make sure the team is properly trained for emergencies by knowing CPR or implementing an emergency plan.
Use lanyards with a breakaway feature in the event the lanyard gets hooked on something, or someone.
The lanyard quickly snaps in two to avoid injury. This feature is especially handy in schools, hospitals or manufacturing environments.
Monitor It - Employees function at a higher level when they feel safe and comfortable. Part of that security comes from knowing
that building access is not for everyone. Register your visitors and use an
IDville exclusive log-in system to not only identify,
but record all daily visitor activity.
Use your photo ID card system to design and print unique visitor badges
on demand, and use the software to generate activity reports.
Volunteers give their time and talents without compensation. It's important to recognize that gift as often as you can. The next time you
have an event where you'll need volunteers to direct traffic, greet guests or setup behind the scenes, use bold
volunteer lanyards
and badges to distinguish them.
You don't need a reason to recognize everyday. Employees who feel appreciated perform better and have fewer issues with absenteeism.
Give employees a daily reminder of their worth to your organization with a themed badge reel or
lanyard, so they can wear their badge with style. Let them know they make a difference or are a key
player in the department. Hand out badge holders with a
lapel pin display so employees can proudly show pins they receive for achievements and milestones.
Celebrating patriotism is not reserved for the Fourth of July or Memorial Day. Use
American flag badge reels and
at your company picnic to show your pride, or hand them out as a way to honor service men and women in your workplace.
Medical staff saves lives everyday. Everyday Hero,
You Save the Day and
Stethoscope Heart badge reels show how much we depend on doctors, nurses and EMTs to care for us when we can't do it for ourselves.
You theme, we all theme! IDville makes it simple to choose a theme for your next event or celebration. Or anytime you want to
recognize people who make a difference.

Investigators say he was late to work--a driver who died on a central Kentucky road this morning.
It happened just after 7:00 on Lemons Mill Rd. near Newtown Pike in Scott County.
Police say the driver lost control, and crashed into a tree.
The truck caught on fire, and police say someone who drove up on the the accident tried to help, but the flames got out of control.
"The subject inside seemed to be unresponsive at first," says Lt. Jeremy Day, with the Scott County Sheriff's Department.
The Scott County coroner says blunt force trauma to the head killed 33-year-old Bobby J. Gunter.
The 2000 blue Dodge Dakota pick-up truck was wrapped around a tree, the driver trapped inside.
Police say Lemons Mill road is narrow and can be dangerous.
"If you do make a mistake, the slightest mistake can send you off the road, and three feet into a tree."
The truck caught fire as well, and someone who drove up on the scene of the accident tried to help.
"The witness did have a fire extinguisher and attempted to extinguish the fire himself, but was unsuccessful," Day says.
Police say the road is a frequent cut-through for drivers between Lexington and Georgetown. With no shoulders, it gives no leeway for mistakes.
"it is a very dangerous, curvy, narrow road, and accidents on this road are unfortunately common."
While Lt. Day says unfortunately it is common to have accidents like this on Lemons Mill Road, he says it's uncommon for one of this degree to happen.
The Scott County coroner tells NEWSFIRST Gunter is from Georgetown and has a wife and four children.

Growing up I loved Katherine Paterson's Bridge to Terabithia, and I also enjoyed reading lots of the classic Russian fairytales, Virginia Woolf and Faulkner. As for what motivates me to keep writing, well, at this point I couldn't imagine ever stopping. Writing and books just mean too much to me.
Q. What can we expect from the next book in this trilogy?
Without giving too much away, in the next book Luce starts to learn to relate to other people in a much closer way than she has before. She starts to say what she really thinks and feels, and to stand up for herself. I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that she finds both love and a truly intimate friendship for the first time. The challenges she faces just keep getting bigger, and she has to get stronger to meet them!

Jared Diamond writes that there are five factors that cause societies to collapse; many are related to the environment and management of resources, but one – loss of friendly neighbors – is just as important.
For years I have been writing about the need to keep young people on Long Island. I have brainstormed with other young professionals on how we can get more of our peers to stay, heard from elected leaders on the alleged "brain drain" problem, and heard the plight of companies who can't find and keep talent on Long Island because many of the best have been smart enough to move from Long Island to a region where they can afford to live.
During that time, I assumed that older generations of Long Islanders shared this concern. I thought they understood that a rapidly changing population is completely unsustainable, and it meant that they would be picking up our tax tab while we move to greener pastures.
Not until this week did I realize I was wrong. At a public meeting of the Island Trees School District this week, I learned that a brutal and overwhelming majority seemed to not only support increases in taxes, but vehemently reject any proposal that could even potentially bring in young professionals and their children.
The district (like many other districts) has proposed a solution to the problem of paying to maintain empty buildings due to decreased enrollment – 50 percent that of 1963. They are proposing to move the library back to its former home in the middle school, and sell the current library building and another unused building to a developer to build senior housing. The message from the packed auditorium was clear: More families mean more children, which are a threat.
Not until this week did I even consider that I could be one of those people that leave Long Island. I've always been committed to staying here and buying a home here. My momentary reconsideration of leaving had nothing to do with the grown men who booed me while I spoke and told me to move out of town, but everything to do with the disgust and complete shock coming from learning that I was the only person in a room full of 500 people that were concerned with the long-term sustainability of our district, our budget, our taxes.
Now I can't say that definitively, as only 50 or so officially spoke, but judging from the dozens of others who expressed their opinions with disguised coughs, audible groans and even some not-so-discreet belligerent yelling, I would say a strong majority were not in my camp.
You're probably wondering what's so horrible about senior housing and a library relocation. A guerilla Q&A sheet placed at the welcome table spelled out their fears pretty clearly. The three main concerns echoed all night:
- That senior housing will cause increased traffic and an influx of crime. Any person who graduated from the district in the last 10 years knows that broken beer bottles, used syringes and drug baggies litter the fields of the unused schools – left behind mostly from underage kids.
- A middle school is no place to house a library, as the walkers will be forced to walk past the homeless and pedophiles that populate it. The library was housed there when I was a child and I don't recall ever meeting a homeless person when I went for Saturday morning book readings. I can't think of anything less terrifying for a community than a library. A strip club, a power plant, a halfway house I can understand, but a library?
- The biggest and I think most misguided concern is that the proposed 150 to 247 55+ condos will cause an increase in school-aged children. In addition to that, they are concerned that when senior citizens move into these condos, younger families could move into their homes when they sell and bring even more children into the district. The "True" Q&A sheet estimated that this would be 50 extra students and stated that this increase in students would increase annual education costs by $1 million dollars. The below summary on population and budget history of the district illustrate why this assumption is simply not the case.
In 1963, the Island Trees School district housed 5,852 students, administration offices, and a library in six buildings. In 2013, although the district had the same amount, or slightly more homes, the district shrunk by half, educating 2,490 students. Census demographics show a clear projected downward trend in age in our town, with a sharp dip in the 20-24 and 25-30 age brackets.
Despite the decrease in population, the budget has continued to rise. In 2008, the annual cost per student was $18,138. This year it is more than $23,000 per student. This is because the budget hinges heavily on things like maintenance, teacher salaries and pensions, utility bills, supplies, etc. Even if new students were to enter the district, it would be incorrect to say that it would cost taxpayers an additional $23,000 per student.
I originally went to the hearing with the goal of convincing the board and the community to allow the proposed development to be open for people of all ages – not just senior citizens. I learned quickly that was I was shooting for the moon, and that there was no chance the community would pass a referendum that allowed young professionals to move into their neighborhood. What I heard was a big "no" to consolidation and efficiency, "no" to affordable housing options to retain their graduates, and "yes" to hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted on unused properties while after-school programs, music and sports are cut.
I understand that more than anything else, the parents that are concerned about the safety of their children. They feared change. They felt betrayed. It's okay to be concerned and want to be told all of the facts. What is not okay is keeping a closed mind and forming your opinion based on outright lies and rumors.
I ask the school board of the Island Trees School District to slow down. Be more transparent. Look at all of the options and provide the community with the pros and cons of each, with facts to back them up.
I ask the parents of the district to calm down, and act in a public forum how they would like their children to act in a classroom. Understand the voting process. Learn the development process and know that nothing will happen overnight. And for the love of books – don't discriminate against young people who want to buy your houses one day.

WAKE FOREST WON. Even with an off-week to get healthy and prepare, the Seminoles were caught off guard on their road trip to Winston-Salem to face Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons rattled redshirt freshman quarterback Clint Trickett, who was making his second career start, and built a lead that could not be overcome even with the return of EJ Manuel. Trickett threw two interceptions and fumbled once before being replaced by Manuel, who saw his first action since injuring his shoulder against Oklahoma. Tanner Price picked apart the Florida State back seven, completing 21 of 35 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns. Most importantly, he threw no interceptions. Josh Harris also ran for 136 yards on 13 carries, with a highlight reel 57-yard scamper to set up Wake Forest's final touchdown.
HOW WAKE FOREST WON: Wake Forest's defense was relentless all afternoon. Whether the Florida State attack was led by Clint Trickett or EJ Manuel, the Demon Deacons were swarming to the ball and getting their hands in the air to force turnovers. Half of the four interceptions were a result of batted balls, and the awareness of the defense led to the momentum-swinging takeaways. Both teams were competitive statistically, but the turnover margin was the difference in this game and the reason Wake Forest found themselves victorious for the fourth game in a row.
WHEN WAKE FOREST WON: Florida State continued to push for four quarters, right up to the final touchdown with less than a minute remaining. But EJ Manuel's interception with 6:21 remaining as the Seminoles were driving down 11 brought FSU's turnover count for the game to "one too many to win."
WHAT WAKE FOREST WON: Belief that they can contend for an ACC title. The first two conference victories were against arguably inferior opponents, and did little to legitimize the Demon Deacons as contenders. But with three victories over Atlantic Division opponents and Florida State in the rearview, Wake Forest has put themselves in a position to contend with Clemson for a berth to the ACC Championship Game.
WHAT FLORIDA STATE LOST: Their third straight game. Their status as ACC title contenders. Possibly some self confidence. Saturday's meeting with Wake Forest was supposed to get the Seminoles back on track after dropping two straight. EJ Manuel appears ready to play again, but his return comes as the window of opportunity is closing. The Seminoles will now need to run the table and get some help if they want to return to the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte.
THAT WAS CRAZY: Wake Forest's first touchdown came on a 30-yard pass from wide receiver Michael Campanaro to Terence Davis. The trick play is just one of several options the Demon Deacons' offense presents when they run sweeps, reverses, and options. Campanaro has been productive when given the opportunity to throw, completing 3/3 passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns. His inflated passing efficiency is 616.8.

|Comparison of sputum induction using inhaled methacholine or hypertonic saline.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15691239 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVES: Hypertonic saline is recommended for the induction of sputum to assess airway inflammation. Methacholine is most commonly used to assess airway responsiveness. The aim of this study was to compare sputum induction by methacholine and hypertonic saline challenges, and the subsequent inflammatory cell differential counts. METHODOLOGY: Subjects (n = 56) underwent inhaled hypertonic saline (4.5% for < or = 15 min without bronchodilator pretreatment) and methacholine (maximum cumulative dose 4 micromol) challenges 1 week apart, in random order. Sputum was processed, and on cytospins stained with May-Grunwald-Giemsa, a total of 400 inflammatory plus squamous cells were counted to obtain a differential cell count. RESULTS: A satisfactory sputum sample was obtained from 29 subjects following hypertonic saline and also from 10 subjects following methacholine. For these 10 subjects, the mean percent macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, and lymphocytes were similar after methacholine (64%, 26%, 7% and 1%) or hypertonic saline (67%, 26%, 6% and 1%). The results were similar for squamous cells (42% and 45%) and when asthmatics and nonasthmatics were compared separately. CONCLUSIONS: Inhaled methacholine has a much lower yield of sputum induction compared with hypertonic saline. However, the differential sputum cell count is similar following both challenge agents.

Predictive value of IgE/IgG4 antibody ratio in children with egg allergy
Department of Pediatrics, Kansai Medical University, Fumizonocho 10-15, Moriguchi, Osaka, 570-8506, Japan
Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology 2012, 8:9 doi:10.1186/1710-1492-8-9Published: 7 June 2012
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of specific IgG4 antibodies to hen's egg white and determine their utility as a marker for the outcome of oral challenge test in children sensitized to hen's egg
The hen's egg oral food challenge test was performed in 105 sensitized children without atopic dermatitis, and the titers of egg white-specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) and immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies were measured. To set the cut-off values of IgG4, IgE, and the IgE/IgG4 ratio for predicting positive results in oral challenges, receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted and the area under the curves (AUC) were calculated.
Sixty-four of 105 oral challenges with whole eggs were assessed as positive. The AUC for IgE, IgG4, and IgE/IgG4 for the prediction of positive results were 0.609, 0.724, and 0.847, respectively. Thus, the IgE/IgG4 ratio generated significantly higher specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value (%), and negative predictive value (%) than the individual IgE and IgG4. The negative predictive value of the IgE/IgG4 ratio was 90% at a value of 1.
We have demonstrated that the egg white-specific serum IgE/IgG4 ratio is important for predicting reactivity to egg during food challenges.

|JDC Duncan,
You CAN get the Collector's Edition of "Gettysburg" as a box set, I have it on VHS-am not sure about on DVD. I found mine on ebay after pricing it in Gettysburg on a trip. It was around 49.99 in Gettysburgh and I got my set for 12.00 on ebay.
The set came with a video on the making of "Gettysburg", a book of Gettysburg art, pictures of Longstreet, Chamberlain, Buford and Lee, the CD sountrack to the movie and a .50 caliber bullet. Not too bad for 12 dollars.
Check ebay under "Gettysburg Box Set" that was the seach I found mine under.

Nearly 10 years have passed since Pete Rose last performed his trademark head-first slide in public, during a celebrity softball game in soon-to-be-imploded Cinergy Field.
Yet the debate over his 1989 banishment from baseball for gambling on the game just won't quit. It keeps barreling toward the plate with vintage, dust-stirring Hit King hustle.
Here in his hometown, the debate on his ban from baseball, and particularly from its Hall of Fame, remains especially high-impact. Cincinnati has an emotional stake in Rose's baseball future.
Today, as Rose nears his 70th birthday on Thursday - can Charlie Hustle really be turning 70? - Enquirer sportswriter John Erardi gives the question of the Hit King's reinstatement a new urgency: Should the way be cleared for Rose's reinstatement to baseball and/or election to the Baseball Hall of Fame while he is still living?
We made our position clear nearly two years ago, a few days after Hank Aaron, legendary slugger and one of baseball's most revered senior statesmen, declared that his friend Pete "belongs in" the Hall.
Our July 29, 2009 editorial said the time was right to make Rose at least eligible to be voted on for the honor, but not to allow him to again participate in the game itself - as, for example, a manager, coach, scout, owner or spokesman. His enshrinement would be accompanied by an asterisk, reminding fans that he broke baseball's core-value rules on gambling.
Thousands of Enquirer readers weighed in with their opinions that week, and the controversy drew national coverage.
Yet Major League Baseball haven't budged since then, though there have been hints of an effort to resolve the issue. Ironically, MLB has displayed a Pete Rose-like stubbornness, even while Rose himself has overcome his stubbornness to finally, though grudgingly, own up fully to his wrongdoing.
So it is an intriguing question Erardi poses to an array of historians and legal experts on Rose's milestone birthday: Should Baseball reconnect with Rose while he's living?
The question implies that someday in the future, Rose will be recognized. It implies that it's unrealistic to keep baseball's all-time hitting leader - with 4,256 hits, a number difficult to top - from the Hall forever. And perhaps it implies that Baseball simply doesn't want him to see that recognition arrive.
But closing the circle on Rose in his golden years would carry a sense of fair play - what baseball is supposed to be about.
After all, here's what actually happened in 1989, after the famous Dowd investigation into Rose's gambling activities: Then-Commissioner Bart Giamatti banned Rose from the game for life. From the game, not from possible consideration for the Hall.
That took place in 1991, when the late Giamatti's successors changed Hall of Fame rules to exclude from its yearly ballot anyone under suspension from the game - "anyone" being only Rose at the time. Previously, it had been left to the sportswriter/voters to determine a player's fitness for the Hall.
Along with justice, allowing a Hall vote would add perspective to Rose's misdeeds.
The Barry Bonds trial this past week, on charges that the home-run record holder lied about taking performance-enhancing drugs, reminds fans that the use of drugs in recent years has damaged the integrity and credibility of baseball's record books. Not so in the case of Rose's hitting achievements. There is not a trace of evidence that drugs or gambling affected Rose's performance as a player on the field. The gambling came later.
Rose earned his hitting records fairly. He should be recognized for them fairly.
We re-pete: Let Rose in.

An Abusive Mother is an abusive parent who uses their children to fill an emotional void of their own unmet emotional needs.
Our relationship with our mothers is probably the most important relationship than with any other human being.
After all, it is our mothers who carried us in the mirco universe of their uterus. They endured unimaginable pain during child birth, feed us at our demands and nurture us when we were sick.
So important is this relationship between mother and child in the formative years that it has a lifelong influence on who we become; by defining our personalities, influencing our behavior and self esteem.
If we are fortunate, and I would like to think that most of us are, this mother-child relationship is, at most time, an overwhelmingly positive one, right?
Um, well, not always.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case and sadly so many children and adults have had to endure growing up in a dysfunctional family and a painful childhood from being raised by an abusive parent.
The abuse from a mother can cause a child to develop chronic emotional and physical disorders into adulthood.
Children need emotional stability. They need to be nurtured, feel loved, secured and protected. Young children need positive approval from their parents; where as adolescents need to feel a sense of independence and a sense of control, as they make the transition from childhood to adulthood.
When mothers are abusive it tends to be emotional or psychological in nature rather than physical. Using words to inflict pain; pain more damaging that a slap, belt punch or fist. However, mothers are capable of inflicting other forms of emotional abuse such as physical and sexual child abuse.
The mother-daughter relationship can be difficult and stress to both parties at the best of time and is not always the wonderful relationship society perceives it to be.
Mothers who are abusive towards their daughter are generally more emotional in nature. The emotional abuse may involve verbal abuse or degrading their daughters with gestures or insults.
The abuse may be subtle, involving unconscious negative dialogue or simply ignoring and using silence as a weapon. Unfortunately, abusive mothers, in most cases, are simply channeling and transferring their own negative psychological issues unto their daughters.
On an emotional or psychological level, an abusive mother-daughter relationship is very damaging to the daughter as a child and as an adult causing great emotional pain with lasting consequences. Abused daughters may develop psychological disorders that may manifest as:

Police say it may have been connected to an anatomy class
POSTED: 10:25 p.m. HST, Oct 11, 2012
LAST UPDATED: 10:06 a.m. HST, Oct 12, 2012
Employees at a Keeaumoku Street storage facility discovered decomposing human remains about 5:40 p.m. Thursday in a freezer.
Police said the renter of the storage locker had defaulted on payment. Workers checked the locker due to the stench.
The Honolulu Medical Examiner's Office took the remains from the building, police said.
The renter had been the subject of a 2011 case in which body parts were found at a Sand Island business property he had been evicted from, according to police.
The man was reportedly teaching an anatomy class at the property.

Prada has always been a luxury label that I have enjoyed watching expand on its empire ever so cautiously. With the husband and wife team behind the helium tank, this incredible company has always peppered its cutting edge tailoring with modern essence to give its loyal followers exceptional collections year upon year.
Almost 100 years ago, Mario Prada and his brother commenced 'Prada' as a leather goods shop. From humble beginnings, Prada moved into a recognizable luxury goods operator, not from the hard work of its desired successor, being Mario's son, but his daughter Luisa who ran the business successfully for over 20 years. Her daughter, Miuccia joined the company in 1970 and now runs it with her husband Patrizio Bertelli. So you could say it was from the vision and passion from the ladies in the family, who mind you in the early 1900's were forbidden to running the business, that made Prada what it is today. Yet surprisingly, the male/female team that is running Prada now, are making the most difference, commercially and in its global appraise of design.
Prada's originality made it one of the most influential fashion houses, and the brand became a premium status symbol in the 1990s. The signature Prada look encompassed luxurious fabrics in mostly black, browns, grays, greens, and creams to create simple, yet provocative styles.
Men's ready-to-wear collections were launched in the mid-1990s. By 1994, sales were at US$210 million, with clothing sales accounting for 20% (expected to double in 1995). Prada won another award from the CFDA, in 1995 as a "designer of the year" 1996 witnessed the opening of the 18,000 ft² Prada boutique in Manhattan, New York, the largest in the chain at the time. By now the House of Prada operated in 40 locations worldwide, 20 of which were in Japan.
If you didn't know, Prada also owns Miu Miu, which was named after Miuccia's nickname. Miu Miu catered to younger consumers, such as celebrities.
Prada's menswear SS12 is again a successful play on Prada's classic tailoring, with colourful creative artworks sketched into the designs. For our MSP gents, take a look at the more masculine and blue hue items as the slacks, jackets and exceptional laptop accessories. With golf being the sport of choice for most international CEO's and MDs, Prada have successfully integrated their sporting goods into their line. To match the golf bag, clothing for golf, as well as brightly coloured studded brogues (wow!) are on sale now as the collection walks off the Paris runway.

Long Battle on FAA Bill Ends in Victory against Privatization - (11/21/2003)
CONTACT: Doug Church, 301.346.8245
WASHINGTON – The following statement was released this evening by National Air Traffic Controllers Association President John Carr on Senate passage of the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill:
"The American flying public can breathe a sigh of relief for now. Congress has declared that selling out air traffic control to the lowest bidder will not be tolerated. From day one this has been about safety and safety has finally won. Now it's up to all of us concerned about the safety of our skies to make sure that the Administration sticks to its promise not to privatize. Actions speak louder than words and rest assured that we will be watching.
"It's been a long, remarkable road since July. We thank the tens of thousands of people who called their members of Congress. As a result of this public outcry, the House took the extraordinary step of recommitting a conference report and the Senate failed to get the votes they needed to move it forward. As a matter of fact, a Republican-controlled Congress told the White House that privatization is unacceptable and something needed to be worked out. Congress knew that the flying public was not going to tolerate privatization."
"We've come a long way since that dark day in July when privatization seemed inevitable. We thank members, particularly Senators Lautenberg and Reid and Representatives Oberstar, Hoyer and DeFazio and the Republican members who stood strong under enormous pressure, and did what was right for the flying public. And for those who opposed efforts to ensure that the world's safest and most efficient air traffic control system is not sold to the lowest bidder, we can only hope that they have now seen that safety should never take a backseat to political ideology.
"A sigh of relief can be heard throughout our nation's skies. Now, we need to work together to make sure that promises made are promises kept. We'll be watching, and, in the words of Governor Schwarzenegger, 'We'll be back.'"
