|The antiadrenergic effects of hypermagnesemia: an experimental study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1823214 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The circulatory effects of norepinephrine (4 micrograms/kg), isoproterenol (10 micrograms/kg) and phenylephrine (20 micrograms/kg) were determined in anesthetized dogs with normal plasma magnesium and with induced hypermagnesemia. Norepinephrine caused a 24% increase in heart rate and a 103% increase in the systemic vascular resistance index in normomagnesemic dogs, while with hypermagnesemia the variations were of 13% and 1%, respectively. Isoproterenol increased heart rate by 48% and 18% in dogs with normo- and hypermagnesemia, respectively. Phenylephrine increased the systemic vascular resistance index (74%) only in the normomagnesemic state. The effects of all the drugs were significantly different (P less than 0.01), without and with the simultaneous administration of magnesium sulfate (plasma magnesium, 1.3 +/- 0.2 mEq/l and 6.8 +/- 1.1 mEq/l, respectively). We conclude that acute induced hypermagnesemia antagonizes the circulatory effects of adrenergic stimulation, a fact that may explain its antiarrhythmic and hemodynamic effects during acute myocardial ischemia.

In the end, Bruce Pearl did what must of us expected him to do with his new life: take a job in the marketing community.
Wait ... what? Yep, according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel, Pearl has passed on coaching at the D-League level or taking a job in television, opting instead to join H.T. Hackney Co.'s marketing team. It's a shocking move for Pearl, considering how he has grown to adore the spotlight. I have to commend him for this move, which is certainly not a high-profile gig, even if it will raise eyebrows for a day.
Pearl, who is serving a three-year show-cause that was handed down by the NCAA last week, will start Sept. 1 for the company, which is based in Knoxville and is in the "wholesale grocery" business. Pearl's path has become one of the more unpredictable ones in college basketball, considering where he was just over a year ago.
Board room meetings just got a lot more fun.
Here's more from the News-Sentinel:
So Pearl's going to stay away from basketball -- for the foreseeable future -- in the interest of humility, a change of pace and an intriguing job opportunity he probably never thought he'd have.
H.T. Hackney, which has its corporate offices in downtown Knoxville and a regional distribution center in Roane County, is led by Chairman and CEO Bill Sansom, who formerly sat on UT's board of trustees and also is a TVA director. Sansom said Pearl, who was a marketing and economics major at the Boston College School of Management, brings freshness, enthusiasm and a strategic vision to the company.
"H.T. Hackney is a great company that has been doing things right for a long time," Sansom said in a statement. "I've known Bruce Pearl for years — his leadership, competitiveness and understanding of marketing is a great fit for our organization."
Pearl ... said the decision came down to a handful of important factors.
"I worked for 33 years — my entire coaching career — to get to a place like Knoxville," the former coach said in a statement. "This is where my family lives, this is home. We have made life-long friends here and we are very blessed to have this opportunity. ... It took a company like H.T. Hackney with a leader like Bill Sansom to attract me. As a coach, I know the importance of being a team player. It is my goal to assist our sales and marketing staff to better serve our customers, vendors and to grow our business."

Back to the swapped babies topic and there is yet more news. It looks both sets of parents will trade kids before Christmas after all but one of the couple (the burd, more than likely) is pregnant again.
Funnily enough, they have decided to have their baby in another hospital, despite promises of VIP treatment from the original clinic.
Next round: The Telegraph
And hopefully that will now be the end of it and they all live happily ever after.
We stay in places and countries most people can only dream about, so while on the road we tell you what it's like. If we're not travelling for a while, we live like locals, observe our surroundings and check out the news. We also take the piss- A LOT...

Bridesmaids DVD 2010
The delightful Kristen Wiig, who's shone in dozens of supporting roles and on Saturday Night Live, hits a bull's-eye with her first lead role in Bridesmaids. Annie (Wiig) isn't doing so well; her bakery failed and she keeps sleeping with a good-looking louse (Jon Hamm, Mad Men), but she's always had her best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph, Away We Go) to buoy her up… until Lillian gets engaged. Annie becomes maid of honor, but another friend of Lillian's--the rich and lovely Helen (Rose Byrne, Get Him to the Greek)--wants to take over that position. Misadventures with bad Brazilian food, dress fittings, an unfortunate flight to Vegas, and a sympathetic traffic cop (Chris O'Dowd from British TV comedy The IT Crowd) follow, with increasingly hilarious results. Bridesmaids successfully balances raunchy comedy and character portrait. The embarrassing and socially catastrophic stuff, which in too many movies balloons into absurdity, is here kept in check just enough to allow Annie and the other characters to be multidimensional people--without the movie losing its comic capacity for cringe. (Actress Melissa McCarthy, of Mike & Molly, works miracles with a character than in most hands would be pure cartoon.) Wiig's enormous appeal keeps Annie sympathetic, even as she becomes more and more of a train wreck. Bridesmaids is both smart and dumb, raunchy and earnest, and altogether enjoyable. --Bret Fetzer

The Wachau is located in Lower Austria on the river banks of the Danube river. The area is approximately 30 kilometers long.
The Wachau is very famous for its vineyards and the beautiful scenery. The climate is a bit milder than in the other parts of Lower Austria, because of the pannonian climate influence. This is why there are lots of vineyards, apricot trees and even almond trees. The winemakers of this region offer their homemade wine at the so-called Heurigen, which are wine-taverns where cold food and local wine is offered. To sign that their Heurigen is open the wine-makers put a small wheel made of straw in front of their house. Tourism is very popular in the Wachau and a trip by boat on the Danube River is an experience you won't forget.
The cultural landscape of the Danube Valley between Melk and Krems is recognized as a part of world cultural heritage.

There was no penetration, says HammComment on this story
The 40-year-old actor - who is best known for playing Don Draper in 1960s advertising drama 'Mad Men' - took on several different jobs as he struggled to land acting work, with his stint as a set designer on adult movies among the most memorable.
He explained: "Essentially, I had to move furniture around sweaty, naked people. It wasn't a great job but the money was useful. I had to get by - I wanted to be an actor.
"Let me just stress there was no penetration - it was soft-core porn."
Jon - who also worked as a bartender, writer and teacher - considered quitting acting following a "bleak" period where he was rejected for many roles and was dropped by his agent.
He recalled to The Sun newspaper: "It was bleak - that was part of a three-year period where I was solely rejected.
I had given myself 'til my 30th birthday. I moved out to LA when I was 25 and I figured if I can't make it in five years of trying, then it's time to pack up."
While the 'Bridesmaids' actor has been inundated with work offers since landing his role in 'Mad Men', he is careful about what he accepts to avoid being typecast.
He said: "I made a conscious decision not to do things that take place in the 1960s.
"I got sent every script Hollywood wanted to make about that era. So I consciously chose things like 'Bridesmaids' that are different, and I think those choices have been well-received.
"But if you are going to be pigeon-holed, then a handsome womaniser is not the worst thing to be." - Bang Showbiz

KUKA Systems Becomes Number 1 Automotive Systems Supplier in North America
KUKA Systems GmbH Posted 08/14/2013
Acquisition of Utica Companies' plant engineering business
"This acquisition follows our strategy being Number 1 or 2 in our respective markets. It not only adds new customers, but will enable us to continue our profitable growth in North America and in Asia", says Dr. Till Reuter, CEO of KUKA AG, the holding company that owns KUKA Systems Group.
KUKA Systems is an innovator in production line automation, flexible manufacturing concepts, robotic cells for specific assembly processes, including new welding technologies for joining steel to steel or metals with different thermal coefficients like steel and alloys of aluminum.
"With this acquisition KUKA Systems is leveraging its technologies," says Lawrence A. Drake, President and CEO of KUKA Systems Group. "Moreover, our customers will benefit from an expanded manufacturing footprint, talent pool and knowledge base with greater economies of scale. It also stresses our leadership in welding and other joining technologies. We are excited to welcome Utica employees joining KUKA."
Both companies' core market is automotive assembly although KUKA Systems has diversified successfully into building production lines and platforms for aerospace, energy and other industries.
The Utica acquisition primarily covers automobile assembly-related assets in southeastern Michigan. KUKA Systems will absorb Utica's body structure business that builds car body assembly lines and subsystems – as well as products like laser welding heads, net form and pierce systems for high accuracy in joining body sections, standard press room automation for metal stamping and hang-on technologies for installing doors, hoods and other parts on assembly lines.
About 300 Utica employees have joined the over 1300-member KUKA Systems team in southeastern Michigan. No jobs will be eliminated since KUKA Systems has a considerable order backlog, said Drake, adding: "A major benefit of the transaction is that it secures a highly skilled and experienced workforce for us in Michigan at a time when those skills are becoming harder to find because of shrinkage in the local industrial base."
About KUKA Systems:
KUKA Systems North America LLC, a Michigan-based company, is part of KUKA Systems Group, a leading global supplier of flexible manufacturing systems for the automotive, aerospace, railway, energy and other industries in which highly automated processes and other assembly line concepts are required. A workforce of over 3,900 around the world works on ideas and solutions for automated production, and develops innovative products for virtually all tasks in the industrial processing of metallic and non-metallic materials. The company's growing portfolio of products and services is marketed by subsidiaries and sales offices in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Last year was one of the most successful ever for KUKA Systems, with worldwide order intake of €1.115 billion (US$1.45 billion), an increase of 21.7% over 2011.

I fled the house as soon as I found out. My rich red cloak flew behind me, along with the tangle of ebony waves. The sky was crying, its teardrops sealed my hair and clothes to my pale as paper skin. Where was I going?
Somnolent, but determined, I carried on running deeper and deeper into the misty wood. I wrestled with my anger and anxiety of these past few days, forcing them to the back of my head. It was like trying to climb an escalating skyscraper without using your hands- it was impossible.
I began to feel the disturbance of the environment consequently, finding it harder and harder to disguise my apprehension. "Keep going", I told myself.
The aroma smelt musky and confined. I could taste my desiccated mouth. I could feel the grief and distress of the area more and more. I felt trees cackling at me, like witches, watching my every move. I heard supportive voices in my head, only to be surpassed by a horrible, disconcerting voice.
A crash and a pop made me jump although, they were only fireworks. The smallest sounds made my heart skip a beat.
Running. Just running.
Suddenly, I find myself falling. Falling into a fathomless pit of nothing. I tried to grasp the 'Nothing', extending my arms as much as I could. I saw black. It was so black I was convinced I had my eyes closed. I could see nothing, hear nothing, smell nothing but, in that nothing, I could feel something.
What was that something?
I landed. Blood trickled from the graze on my leg, seeping through and onto my skin. Sweat raced down my back. Panic stricken, I looked around. Silence.
And then I saw it.

If you have further questions about dual enrollment please feel free to call the Registration Office at 796.8400 or toll free at 1.888.522.7344.
You can also visit our Frequently Asked Questions about Dual Enrollment for more information.
High School Dual Enrollment
Jackson College wants to provide an opportunity for motivated students to enrich their high school education by taking college classes while still in high school through the Postsecondary Option Act.
All high school students wishing to attend JC need to complete a high school dual enrollment form with the aid of their high school counselor, principal, and parent/guardian. The dual enrollment form must be completed in full before you come to JC to register for classes.
JC welcomes any high school student with the motivation to excel to attend classes at the college. We hope that the experience will help you to reach our goals for success.
Postsecondary Option Act
Your high school can provide the following information about the Postsecondary Option Act:
- Who is eligible
- What courses to take and what colleges you can attend to take classes
- Who pays for tuition, fees, books and transportation
- The need to enroll in those courses which best fit the students goals
- The consequences of failing or not completing a college course
- Effect on student's ability to graduate from high school
- Responsibilities of eligible students and their parent/guardian
Please be aware of the following information about dual enrollment:
- All students still in high school need to have a completed dual enrollment form to attend classes even if the high school is not funding the classes or accepting the academic credit.
- You and your high school must decide prior to registration, who is responsible for payment and what type of academic credit you wish to receive.
- The signature of your high school principal on the form is needed to satisfy the requirement of high school approval for attendance and indicate that you have received information as required by the Postsecondary Option Act as well as information regarding payment.
- While enrolled at JC you are subject to all college policies governing students while attending classes.
- Forms not completed in full with authorizing signatures will not be processed. You will not receive credit for classes you attend without the proper authorization.
- JC will only release your schedule and grade information to your high school if the high school assumes responsibility for payment; otherwise you must request in writing that your records be released to the high school.
- Your high school may not meet the entire financial obligation incurred by being dual enrolled. It is the responsibility of you and your parent/guardian to meet the balance owed for college tuition and fees. Contact should be made with your high school to determine what balances you and your parent/guardian may incur.

It turns out that Kansans want lower taxes and less government spending. Who would have guessed?
Last week, KPI released a poll done by SurveyUSA which showed that when presented with the facts Kansans want to send less of their money to Topeka and think the state should undertake some belt tightening. Incidentally, they think the same about local and county governments as well.

Chancellor Russell Perkins
Metro attorneys argued in a legal filing Monday that a Davidson County Chancery Court judge shouldnt review the third-party records The Tennessean is seeking in a Vanderbilt rape case before he rules on the newspapers right to see them.
Metro asked Judge Russell Perkins to move the review, which is scheduled for Thursday, to sometime after he rules on his jurisdiction over the matter. The citys lawyers argued that Perkins doesnt have jurisdiction over the discovery and inspection of a matter pending in criminal court.
If this is correct, there will be no need for the Court to review the investigative file, Metros motion says. Delaying the review will also safeguard against the possibility that the investigative file, or any part thereof, becomes part of the Chancery Courts record on appeal.
Perkins told attorneys last week that he wanted to inspect the records at District Attorney Torry Johnsons office.
The Tennessean and other news organizations sued Metro last month over its refusal to release records from the rape investigation that led to charges against four former Vanderbilt football players. Those include text messages between players and coaches.
The lawsuit says documents created by nongovernmental entities are not exempted from the Tennessee Public Records Act.

This school has some very talented and dedicated teachers particularly in the early grades. But these teachers are stymied by a curriculum that values rote learning over creativity and critical thinking. Math social studies and writing instruction are particularly poor. The teachers are also hampered by weak leadership from the principal who has no long-term vision for academic excellence. The school caters fairly well to average students. But if your child doesn't fit the narrow boxes in any way--because they're gifted because they're experiencing challenges even because they're a little quirky--then White Oaks is a bad place for them and finding supporting caring adults will be tough.

|I agree.. its just plain evil ... but its somthing that we should use to rally behind.
Historical landmarks such as the Hiram Jenkins House not only deserve to be preserved they have earned the right to be preserved.
The house may be gone but what happed there will never be erased. It is up to us as Historians, History buffs & Preservationest to pass on not only what happened there during the war .. but what happened there in the last few days..
And although the battle to save the house was lost we must continue the fight for preservation. Not only for ourselves or our children but for all generations to come.

Just go to one of the Apple authorized shops and avoid the smaller shops in MBK or any other malls. Mostly they are not fakes but imported Iphones from Hongkong.
I bought an IPhone 5 a year ago at Emporium Mall. There is a Power Buy which has a good stock. That time the Iphone 4 was sold out and the new 5 hardly available. The Power Buy was the only shop which had it on stock.

Drew Pearson: Terence Newman is the only player in the Cowboys secondary worth keeping
Former Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson joined the Ben and Skin radio show Monday and discussed which Cowboys player are on the bubble of making the team's roster next season.
Wide receiver Roy Williams, guard Leonard Davis, tight end Martellus Bennett, tackle Marc Colombo and running back Marion Barber were among the offensive players Pearson mentioned.
Williams received the majority of focus from the former wide receiver, who said: "He still has way too many drops. I think Roy can improve if they change up his routes. He keeps running the same routes over and over. And if I can see that, you can see that, you think those defensive backs can't see that? He's either going up the sideline on a fly or a quick slant. And that's it. If he'd run some different routes, even a slant and go might work, I think that would improve Roy.
"But I didn't know what his contract situation was or how much he would cost the Cowboys if they did let him go, but a $12 million hit against that cap? You got to keep him."
When Pearson discussed the defensive side of the ball he mentioned that Terence Newman would be the only player in the secondary that he would definitely keep.
"At this point, I think everyone else is expendable," he said. "And the reason is because Newman is experienced there. And when he's healthy he's pretty good. When I look at some of these other cornerbacks in the league, even the ones that made the Pro Bowl, they're not that much better than him."
Pearson also believes the safeties played poorly and that they need to be more aggressive going forward.
"Our safety run support is terrible," he said. "Our safety support on deep passes is terrible. We had more big plays hit on us this year than any other year of the Dallas Cowboys.
"A lot of that had to do with the safety not covering up, not being deep."
Pearson views Newman as a player that could make a successful move to free safety in the future, using his experience to quarterback the defensive unit.

Rancho Santa Margarita's Council Member Thompson's Suspended Contract
By CotoBlogzz 03-11-2010
Rancho Santa Margarita – CA. The Menifee City Council has suspended Finance Director Gary Thompson's contract and will hire an auditor to probe the city's internal financial controls. The audit is supposed to focus on the city's supplier management process and controls. Mr. Thompson is an incumbent Rancho Santa Margarita council member seeking reelection
the case of Laguna
Woods Village, residents for months, if not years,
have been calling on every city, county, state and
federal agency that may listen, about conducting a
forensic audit. So far, not dice.
To be sure, this is not to say there is any wrong doing in the case of Mr. Thompson and one data point not a trend makes. Serendipitously; however, we recently asked Mr. Thompson a question related to the City of Ranch Santa Margarita supplier management practices, summarized as follows: As a public servant, how can you assure the taxpayer, in the absence of state audits, that the $8.5 million/year spent by RSM on public safety is being spent the way the taxpayer intends it to be? Mr. Thompson did not respond to any of our questions.
no compelling evidence of any wrongdoing.
according to the RSM's website, Mr Thompson is "self-employed
as a municipal government financial consultant
providing local government municipal service
consulting to several local government agencies. Gary
specializes in fiscal studies for local government
agencies, including fee studies, consolidation
studies, municipal service reviews, and incorporation
and annexation studies, and provides municipal staff
augmentation services. "
In this capacity, Mr. Thompson has
worked on cityhood issues, not unlike the one
currently facing Coto de Caza residents, including
drafting studies that laid the financial groundwork
for Menifee and Wildomar becoming cities and he is now
putting together the fiscal analysis that will
determine whether Jurupa Valley can financially
sustain cityhood.
to Coto de Caza, the local governance has for years
worked to annex the community to Rancho Santa
Margarita, despite overwhelming opposition from Coto
residents. The Coto's
president went as far as to announce that then
supervisor Bates had
approved $30,000 for a study-
in essence
sales collateral to convince Coto residents
that annexation was the logical choice.
When we checked with the county, Supervisor
Bates' office denied the funds were promised.
Now, the local Coto governance with the support
of Local Agency
Formation Commission (LAFCO) is using resident's
funds has been working on such sales collateral.
LAFCO decides municipal boundary issues in all
58 California counties, including spheres of influence
and annexation issues.
is no secret that we have been sounding the alarm
about California's
Triple Threat:
1) Organized
labor in the public sector 2)
Parasitic bureaucracies and 3)
type of lobbying is bad enough, but at least, the
extent of their contribution is a matter of public
record. However, there are the tax-payer
funded unregistered lobbyist such as California
Law Revision Commission (CLRC) and or LAFCO.
The first one regularly promotes the interests
of lobbyists ahead of residents, not unlike the ones
in Coto de Caza, while LAFCO tries to dissolve common
interest development (CID) communities, such as Coto
de Caza.
does this have to do with Mr. Thompson, you may ask?
We are asking the same questions.
So far, we
have asked
Mr. Thompson to comment on two different cities with
supplier management issues – he is involved in both.
We also asked him about his role with LAFCO and
the Coto de Caza's local governance drive to annex
Coto. The
latter has the appearances of a conflict of interest.
also asked Orange County LAFCO's Executive Director
Joyce Crosthwaite and Coto de Caza President Xochitl
Yocham to comment on Mr. Thompon's involvement with
annexation. We
did not get a response from anyone by the established

Consider the following transformation on a string. Given as an input a number of rows and a string, write that string in a zigzag back and forth across the rows. For example, given input
Please convert me to a customized zigzag printing format
with three rows, we would write the string in a zigzag like this:
P s n t o s i z a i n r
l a e o v r m t a u t m z d i z g r n i g o m t
e c e e c o e g p t f a
(please dont edit this print out, this is required output, it is not a real zigzag, it is a customized zigzag)
Finally, we concatenate the contests of each row together to get the resulting string
I have a sketch of an algorithm for this problem that I've written out in pseudocode here:
it is asking about the relationship between {index} and {output row and col}
down = false;
up = false;
char[][] output;
there are three cases here:
case 1:
index % 4 == 0, it is the beginning of a down printing
r = 0;
output[r][c] = in.charAt(index);
down = true; up = false;
case 2:
index%4 != 0 && down = true;
r = index % 4;
output[r][c] = in.charAt(index);
if( r == 2){ up = true; down = false; c++;} // when come to the last row of a down formatting
case 3:
index%4 != 0 && up == true;
r = 4- index%4;
output[r][c] = in.charAt(index);
For a general solution, i can replace 4 as
While I think this works, I'm not too happy with it. Does anyone have a clearer or faster algorithm for solving this problem?

Key Areas of Interest: Tephrostratigraphy, Geoarchaeology, Potential Mars analogues
Teaching Areas: Mineralogy
Research Interests: I use the composition of volcanic ash to correlate between archaeological sites in East Africa. Individual volcanic eruptions produce and deposit volcanic ash layers of distinct compositions that can often be uniquely identified over broad areas. Where these ashes are preserved between stratigraphic layers of archaeological interest, we can create stratigraphic frameworks for important evolutionary and cultural changes throughout a region.
I am also interested in Mars geology, and finding terrestrial analogues for the minerals, sediments, and geochemistry of the Martian surface. Much of the Martian surface, as documented by the MER Spirit and Opportunity rovers and recent and current orbiters, likely consists of altered volcanic material. These deposits are also enriched in sulfate minerals, likely the products of dirty evaporites during a wetter episode of Mars' past or possibly sulfur-rich volcanic fumaroles. I am interested in studying places on Earth where sulfate minerals are formed during the alteration of volcanic materials, under both volcanic and aqueous conditions.

Talkin' Shop in the Back Room with Fistful of Mercy
Published: 2010/10/19 by Tim Donnelly
The back rooms of record stores are sacred and vanquishing. They are not hallowed because they are on the edge of extinction and for anyone who has done time in a record store will tell you, it is where the real fun takes place, where the real conservations between connoisseurs are held, it is an exclusive club for lovers, fanatics and geeks.
In the back of a Jersey strip mall store named Vintage Vinyl, is a spot where the songs and the intellectual and societal debates live on through the fading band stickers and posters that adorn the cluttered walls.
It is where the members of Fistful of Mercy, Joseph Arthur, Dhani Harrison, Ben Harper and I form a circle, and like thousands of times before, we speak in the air of record store clerks of a time gone by about the how three solo artists formed a group, not because of money but for art's sake. more»

The other candidates are in alphabetical order: Steve Barton, Ken Buck, Cleve Tidwell and Tom Wiens. Norton's campaign is spending $18,400 to run the commercial 28 times on the networks of 9NEWS.
QUOTE: Our country's off track. Our government's out of control.
TRUTH: This is an opinion.
QUOTE: And Senator Bennet's giving the President everything he wants. I'm Jane Norton and I'm doing something about it.
TRUTH: Bennet's campaign manager Craig Hughes wrote an e-mail to 9NEWS where he gave examples of where the senator and the president disagree. He cited a Congressional Quarterly Today article from Aug. 8, 2009 which detailed Bennet's proposed budgetary regulations were tougher than the president's. He cited two votes against an increase to the legislative branch appropriations bill which was supported by the administration (Roll Call Vote 214 from 6/25/09 and Roll Call Vote 217 from 7/6/2009). Finally, he cited Bennet's belief in the re-importation of prescription drugs which the administration did not want. (Washington Post, 12/15/09)
QUOTE: In Colorado, she cut government spending.
TRUTH: This isn't true and here's why.
The reality of how Colorado's government is set up is that the only individual who can literally "cut government spending" is the governor and the only way the state's chief executive can do that is through a gubernatorial veto or through line-item veto power. Spending overall is determined by state lawmakers at the state legislature. They are the ones who approve budgets, according to Colorado State University Political Science Professor John Straayer, who has written the definitive book on Colorado's state government, "The Colorado General Assembly." (University Press, 1990, 2000)
Now, the process can and often does start with department heads. Norton is referring to the time when she ran the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) from 1999-2003. The department's budget is comprised of three separate pools of money (General Fund, Cash Funds, and Federal Funds) that lead to a total dollar amount.
The General Fund is full of state income and sales taxes and funds programs that "benefit a majority of state citizens," according to the Legislature's Budget in Brief document. (Source: http://www.state.co.us/gov_dir/leg_dir/jbc/FY08-09BIB.pdf, page 1). According to budget figures provided by the state, from when she took over to when she left CDPHE, Norton's general fund budget decreased 47.40 percent. (Source: http://www.state.co.us/gov_dir/leg_dir/jbc/apphist.pdf). It went from $23,762,669 in fiscal year (FY) 1999-2000 to $12,500,105 in FY 2003-2004.) These are the figures Norton is using to defend her statement that "she cut government spending."
Norton's critics however say that is only part of the story as the other parts of her department's budget, the Cash Funds and the Federal Funds, went up dramatically over that same period. State budget figures show CDPHE's Cash Funds went from $56,013,323 in FY 1999-2000 to $86,023,467 in FY 2003-2004. CDPHE's Federal Funds went from $147,103,845 in FY 1999-2000 to $159,729,485 in FY 2003-2004. (Source: http://www.state.co.us/gov_dir/leg_dir/jbc/apphist.pdf).
Cash funds are set up to "receive earmarked revenues, such as fees and fines," according to the Legislature's Budget in Brief document. Norton says when she ran the department, she could not control how many nurses, for example, sought and paid for a license in a given year. She says she could not control how many companies paid fines for environmental violations. She asserts her role as the head of the department was like a general manager of a baseball team who can control payroll, but cannot control what Major League Baseball sends to her team in things like television revenue.
Her critics, including both her Republican primary rival Tom Wiens and the online grassroots organization, ProgressNow, say she is using fuzzy math.
"Norton's budget at the Dept. of Health actually grew while she was the director," wrote Bobby Clark, the executive director of ProgressNow Colorado, in an e-mail to 9NEWS. "Her general fund money may have gone down some, but that was only a small part of her budget. And, in any case, her "spending" did not go down even if some of her funding did. She's being disingenuous at the least about whether she was shrinking her government department -- the DSCC (Democratic Senate Campaign Committee) and Tom Wiens both aren't buying it since they're using the same figures."
QUOTE: Eliminated waste.
TRUTH: This is ambiguous.
Norton's campaign cites as evidence of this her role as the chair of the Fitzsimons State Veterans Nursing Home Accountability Committee. She was Colorado's lieutenant governor when she was appointed to the position by Gov. Bill Owens (R-Colorado) to ensure "patient safety and financial viability" at the facility. (Source: http://www.cde.state.co.us/artemis/gov3_10/gov5122r252005internet.pdf)
Her campaign spokesman, Nate Strauch, said in an e-mail to 9NEWS that "an example of eliminating waste is making Fitzsimons share resources with the CU Medical Center."
However, that was a recommendation from the committee that members believed needed legislative action but there's no evidence anyone acted upon it or that it "eliminated waste." Norton's campaign did not provide further examples by press time.
QUOTE: De-funded Planned Parenthood.
TRUTH: This is true.
As the head of CDPHE, Norton "first tried and then succeeded in cutting off a $381,956 state grant to Planned Parenthood for low-income women's health services." (Source: Rocky Mountain News, Nov. 23, 2002, Patricia Calhoun column in Westword, Nov. 7, 2002). Norton "attributed the action to strict compliance with a state constitutional mandate - passed by citizen initiative in 1984 and later reaffirmed in a second statewide vote - that prohibits any direct or indirect use of state money to subsidize abortions."

Writer: Texas will blow out West Virginia
College football expert Phil Steele, in a column for ESPN.com, makes the bold prediction that the Longhorns will beat West Virginia soundly in Saturday's game.
"There is no question that Smith and the Mountaineers' offense have put up gaudy numbers to date," Steele writes, "but the team's huge struggles on defense and the lack of a consistent run game will doom them on the road this week against the Texas Longhorns."
Steele cites how most of West Virginia's success has come against inferior defensive opponents. Steele says the Mountaineers, without a good defense, compare to Baylor of last season — a potent offensive team with a slim chance at going all the way.
"David Ash … will pick apart a West Virginia secondary that is allowing 353 passing yards to date," Steele writes."

Many cruising sailors are never interested in racing, why bother I just want to leisurely cruise around the lake with no destination in mind. When I go racing it is so stressful and not fun at all. I only go out if the weather is right. If I cruise I will only go when I have great conditions.
Dalton Long distance race on Lake Simcoe at Lagoon city Yacht club
All of those arguments are valid; I am a sailor that prefers cruising to racing most days. It is great to come out of the harbour and let the wind decide where we are going today. Unfurl the sails set and forget for the next few hours, sit back and relax.
But someday you decide to go out there to explore and find new places across the ocean or down south or even just to a new lake. This is where the problems can start and turn a nice sail into an epic adventure. Sometimes when exploring new area's we tend not to pay attention to wind and the waves as we are too busy looking at the new sights around us. Then, suddenly the wind picks up and the weather starts looking ominous, and we need to do something fairly soon. This is where some cruising sailors may start to get stressed which in turn tends to make us not use all of our brain cells. We then make a minor error in judgment that leads to more until we could be very frightened because we have not experienced this before.
Start of race on Lake Simcoe
When we are involved in even low level club racing as crew or in our own boat we have many safe learning opportunities. Club racing involves a group of people that you know mostly doing it for the fun. You will not be out of site of most of the boats; there will be a committee boat close by.
Most racing will not be stopped unless conditions could cause a real problem. This will give you an environment to learn how to handle your boat in less than ideal conditions. It will also teach you the best way to get from point A to B when the wind and waves are not going your way. When you have had some experience in bad weather it will assist you in making better choices when you do not have a choice.
Club racing and LSIS are also great to meet other sailors who have been there and done that. I find some great ideas for my boat, talk to people that have cruised where I want to go and generally have a great time with like mined people.
Now what could be better than that?

PILOT ROCK, Ore. - Mac-Hi's Nick Watts had four RBIs and a home run in game one and pitchers Randy Romero and Patrick Sheets combined for a no-hitter in game two to sweep the Pilot Rock Rockets here Saturday afternoon, 6-4 and 7-1.
The Rockets pitcher in game one was Randy Copeland and he threw well, according to Mac-Hi coach Craig Angell.
"He had a lot of speed on his pitches and good breaking balls," Angell said. "It just took him awhile to settle down and we scored early on him. So that was good."
Watts had a two RBI single early and a two-run homer late.
"(Watts) has been coming up big for us this year," Angell said. "Getting base hits and big hits for us."
In game two, Romero pitched the first six innings, striking out 10 and walking three. Sheets came on in the last inning to pick up the save and keep the no-no intact.
"Romero could have finished the last inning," Angell said. "His pitch count was getting up there, though, and it was a cold day. So we decided to take him out. While Romero was pitching, he did very well to hit his spots and use his changeup - it was fabulous. Sheets came in with his good curveball and finished them off."
In game two, Jake Knight had three hits to fuel the Pioneer offense. Ryley Croghan and Jody Paez had two hits apiece.
The wins improves Mac-Hi's record to 6-1 on the season as they head into a league match-up with Baker 1 p.m. Saturday at home.
"The GOL is going to be especially tough this season," Angell said. "The other three teams in other league may be ranked in top ten to begin the season. But we are playing good ball, hitting, are down on the errors and we have guys who are throwing the ball well."
First game
Mac-Hi 300 010 2 - 6 7 0
Pilot Rock 100 120 0 - 4 6 3
Croghan, Knight (5) and McCoy, Croghan (6). Copeland, Norquist (6) and Waite.
Hits - Mac-Hi: Goode 2, Watts 2, Salazar, Romero, Cuellar. Pilot Rock: Copeland 2, Cutler, Norquist, Lazinka, Bowie.
HR - Mac-Hi: Watts. Pilot Rock: Bowie, Copeland.
Second game
Mac-Hi 100 010 5 - 7 8 3
Pilot Rock 000 001 0 - 1 0 0
Hits - Mac-Hi: Knight 3, Croghan 2, Ortiz, Paez 2. Pilot Rock: none.
HR - none.
Romero, Sheets (7) and Croghan. Leasy, Bowie (6), Knight (7) and Waite.

Coetzee gutted after Stormers lossComment on this story
Johannesburg – Stormers coach Allister Coetzee said he was gutted for his players after their dramatic one-point defeat by the Canterbury Crusaders on Saturday.
Having looked set to defy the odds and the weight of history, the men from Cape Town went down 13-14 to the multiple Super Rugby-winning franchise.
The score was deadlocked at 3-3 at half-time, but the Stormers were leading 13-3 shortly before the 70 minute mark.
However, a late Crusaders try, followed by a penalty goal in the 76th minute, saw the hosts take the lead and hold out for their first victory of 2014.
Speaking from Christchurch in the early hours of Sunday morning (local time), Coetzee told www.iamastormer.com: "I'm gutted for the guys – the effort they put in – they deserved the victory.
"The game was there for the taking but it just slipped away from us in those final 12 minutes. In the end, some of our own errors cost us again, we left two tries out there for instance, but after an effort like that you cannot help but feel for the guys."
One player who will be hurting more than most is experienced flanker Schalk Burger, who delivered an all-action display in his first Super Rugby appearance in New Zealand since 2011.
"I was happy with all the players, but Schalk, in particular, had a strong performance," said Coetzee.
"He will be hurting more than most, but it's up to us to get up emotionally for our next game Ä against the defending champion Chiefs just six days away."
The result aside, Coetzee was happy with all aspects of the Stormers' game, but he singled out the character shown by all the players who took to the field in Christchurch.
"I've said it before, but this team has immense character," said Coetzee.
"I thought the guys were unbelievable in all departments out there in what was an unbelievable performance, but their character stood out the most."
As far as injuries are concerned, Coetzee will be sweating over the well-being of three key men, hooker Scarra Ntubeni (calf muscle), prop Pat Cilliers (rib cartilage) and fullback Jaco Taute (AC Joint).
"It's hard to say right now, we will know more on Monday about Scarra, Pat and Jaco.
"Scarra is the biggest concern at this stage – his calf muscle could be torn. Jaco, like with Siya Kolisi's AC Joint, could take a week or two.
"So he is 50-50 at this stage for the Chiefs match." – Sapa

text: Police Round Up 5 in Zanzibar Acid Attack British teens return home to London for treatment By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted Aug 9, 2013 2:51 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (24) (Newser) – Police in Zanzibar have rounded up five men for questioning after a pair of British girls were burned in an acid attack and flown back to London, the Telegraph reports. One of the five men is probably a shopkeeper who argued with Katie Gee and Kirstie Trup, both 18, before the attack, but authorities have divulged little else. Meanwhile, a senior Muslim imam in Zanzibar accuses the extremist group Uamsho of perpetrating the attack. "Of course this attack on the tourists was Uamsho," he said of the Muslim organization, which wants Zanzibar to break away from the mainland. But a police commissioner said only that Uamsho is among "many avenues of investigation." Good news for the Katie and Kirstie: Not only are they back home in London, but a medical orderly who saw them in Tanzania says the attack could have been worse. "It has not penetrated deep tissue," he said. "It would have been painful but they'll likely make a full recovery." The two teenagers injured in the Zanzibar acid attack.

Was Frances Bean Cobain offered the role of Bella Swan?
And did she make this face?
Frances Bean Cobain's mother Courtney Love told Howard Stern recently that Frances was offered the role of Bella Swan in the Twilight franchise before Kristen Stewart when a casting director saw the girl's photo in a magazine and sent her a a script. Reportedly Frances told Courtney, "That's a sexist Mormon piece of shit," but I wouldn't put it past Mama-C to paraphrase.
Coincidentally, Francis Bean Cobain recently posted this awesome Spotify playlist everyone's obsessed with:
And she's also in that twitter feud with that Kardashian. Is she dropping an album or something?

In 2009 Apple launched a "There's an app for that" campaign to help sell iProducts by showing consumers all the cool apps that can be used on Apple devices. Other than being memorable, it appears the commercials could be called effective too, as The NPD Group confirms that app downloads on Apple devices have continued to grow in the years since. Yet alongside this proliferation, one product continues, year after year, to outsell apps: music.
According to NPD's new iTunes User Report 2011: "Despite steady growth in app downloads on Apple devices, music remains the primary activity for the average iTunes user." Specifically, 54 percent of iTunes users uploaded music to an iPod or listened to music on iTunes, while 28 percent downloaded a free app and 16 percent paid for an app. Interestingly, among those who purchased any kind of content through iTunes, 75 percent bought music, 39 percent purchased apps and 19 percent paid for video.
Or put another way: nearly twice as many iTunes users paid for music than paid for apps this year. And nearly quadruple as many iTunes users paid for music than paid for video.
While there is a lot of data out there and one survey cannot tell the whole story, this report adds to the accumulating evidence that music is just as – if not more – popular than it's ever been. As we noted last month, and last winter and prior to that: music's appeal is as high as ever and music remains an economic catalyst for many other industries.
Case in point: Want to access music on the go? There's an app for that on nearly every computer, tablet, smartphone and mobile device on the market today. Apple's is called iTunes and one in four Americans on the Internet use it today.
Liz Kennedy
Director, Communications, RIAA
We learned today that Representative Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) has joined the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet. We wanted to take a moment to congratulate Rep. Johnson on his appointment. The Judiciary IP subcommittee is lucky to have him. We know him to be a steady, thoughtful and fair legislator.
As numerous studies have shown, intellectual property is a unique growth driver for this country, employing more than 5.6 million U.S. workers and contributing more than $889 billion to the U.S. GDP. We look forward to working with Rep. Johnson and other members of Congress on helping protect the American jobs and creative innovation that helps drive so much of our economy.
Michele Ballantyne, Senior Vice President, Public Policy and Industry Relations, Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
Please see today's news release from California Senator Alex Padilla (D-Pacoima) about legislation signed into law Sunday by Governor Jerry Brown. According to the Senator's office, this new measure "will help reduce music and movie piracy by allowing inspections and verification to ensure that large-scale disc replicating plants are complying with California anti-piracy laws." Additional summary details are included in the Senator's news release.
Here is a comment from Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Chairman and CEO Cary Sherman:
"With the enactment of this law, California has undertaken a momentous and historic step toward defending jobs and protecting one of the state's preeminent cultural treasures. We're deeply grateful for the work of Senator Padilla, who appreciated the particularly devastating aspect of this form of music piracy and worked skillfully to move his common-sense proposal toward passage. We also appreciate the fact that Governor Brown recognized the scope of this particular problem and signed the measure into law."

About Christopher Wilson
Christopher J. Wilson Dip Eco (Cork), FZS is the great nephew of Dr Edward A. Wilson, who died with Captain Scott and his party on their return from the South Pole in 1912. He is widely travelled, having spent time on all the continents of the world and has completed eight full seasons in Antarctica having first travelled to that Continent in 1999 on the Antarctic Circumnavigation. Born in the UK, he was educated in both UK and Africa, was a London policeman for 16 years and moved to Ireland in 1981. He completed a Field Ecology Diploma at University College Cork in the mid 1990s. Currently he is self employed as an Environmental Consultant based in County Wexford, Ireland specialising in field survey work (particularly birds).
A highly respected ornithologist with over thirty-five years of bird ringing experience, in Ireland, UK and Australia, he includes in his scientific accolades the organisation of staff and volunteers in numerous ornithological surveys of national and international importance. Before taking early retirement in 2007, Christopher worked for the National Parks and Wildlife Service, for 16 years, serving as warden of Ireland's premier wildfowl reserve, 'Wexford Wildfowl Reserve'. In 2000, Christopher spent a year working for the Wildlife Service in South Australia where his expertise in Goose Management, Bird Ringing (including Cannon Netting experience) Bird and Butterfly Survey work were useful attributes to the job he was involved in. Christopher currently has his only weekly newspaper column and a regular slot on local radio. He regularly contributes to a wide number of wildlife magazines, makes radio and television programs and featured in a half-hour television wildlife documentary on his work as a wildlife warden. He has two web pages, the firstwww.snowysheathbill.com relates to his Antarctic wildlife work and the second www.wildside.ierelates to local news, views, comment, opinion and wildlife sightings in his home County, Co. Wexford.
He is an accomplished photographer contributing to numerous wildlife books. His own publications include: 'High Skies – Low Lands, An Anthology of The Wexford Slobs and Harbour' (1996); 'Wildfile – A Guide to Irish Wildlife' (1997); 'Wildlife Quiz and Amazing Facts Book' (1999) – with a second edition (2002); 'Edward Wilson's Nature Notebooks' – published in November 2004;'The Lepidoptera of County Wexford' (2009) and 'Edward Wilson's Antarctic Notebooks' (2011). Christopher lectures extensively on birds and wildlife and is the current chair of the Wexford Naturalists' Field Club. He states that his personal motto of "Birds are my Passion, Wildlife my Nature" actively describes his interest, love and passion for our environment and its biodiversity.
To find out more about the author you can visit him at:
The Interview
Did something specific happen to prompt you to write this book?
The answer to this is very simple though also actually complicated – I was born into the family of one of the greatest of the Antarctic Heroic Age Explorers – Edward Wilson of the Antarctic. That he was a man that was also an outstanding and leading scientist of his time, and superb watercolour artist adds to an incredible story. That he died with Captain Scott on their return journey from the South Pole in 1912 adds to the fascination. Edward Wilson never reached his 40th birthday and yet he contributed so much to our art and science legacy that influences us ALL today. He was a man of incredible talent, 'very private', yet a rock of strength, an incredible character, hugely self-sacrificing, unassuming, down to earth, having a deep moral code, profoundly honest and deeply religious. A reputation as a mediator and peacemaker; came to care little for originality and greatly for TRUTH, whether scientific, artistic, spiritual or physical – he really was a man above normal men. One can try, but never will reach the goals that he achieved. My brother David and I had to do both Notebooks to just 'try' and show what an astonishing person this Edward Wilson of the Antarctic really was.
What cause are you most passionate about and why?
Without doubt my many Natural History projects – I believe in many monitoring population projects, and the sharing of information for all to appreciate what we have in this world of ours. For example one of my current drives is to try and convince the Irish Government to sign The Antarctic Treaty – how is it that Ireland is the only Country in the World that was involved in the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration and yet has not signed this very important Treaty designed to help to preserve and protect the Antarctic for peaceful non-military purposes and encourages scientific cooperation. I have instigated projects in South Australia, where I was involved in the National Parks – these I love to keep in contact with, I write a weekly newspaper column about local, national and international natural history issues – again all because of my love of our natural history. My own personal motto actively describes what I am about: Birds are my passion, wildlife my nature.
What are you currently working on?
I have quite a few projects 'on the go'. Working with geese on the North Slob, Wexford; studying butterflies with continual monitoring work; organizing cetacean monthly surveys across the Irish Sea; organizing an Odonata Survey through my County in Wexford, Ireland; Chair of the Wexford Naturalists' Field Club – we are in the middle of organizing a Children's Art Competition; Working on a 25 part Radio Series – Wexford's Wild Heritage (this spans a year and is producing a book on Co. Wexford's Wildlife at the end of the series – due next year); Lecturing on my Great Uncle, Edward Wilson – this in Ireland, UK – Scilly Isles in 2013 and New Zealand 2013. My lecture skills (Great Uncle and Wildlife related matters) are in constant demand and apart from Schools, interested Groups and various corporate after dinner wildlife lectures I do enjoy the Cruise Ship contracts – I find this an enjoyable way of meeting, sharing and passing on wildlife experiences that I have had the privilege of being involved in around the globe.
If you could go back and change one day, what would it be?
I would 'not' change one day as I would not be 'me' if any part of my life was changed. I am made up of the positives and negatives of my life and they have given me the experience that I have. So to change a day would make a mockery of my life….. yes I have made mistakes, yes there are lots of things I could change, but that is with hindsight and if I did change any part of any day, week, month or year of my past life I would not be me and I could not share what I love and believe in.
What is your favorite past-time?
Sharing, through the median of lecturing, radio and the written word my love of our natural world particularly Antarctica, Ireland, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Falklands, New Zealand and South America. I am always more than delighted to share, through the power of pictures and words some of the delights of our natural world. To be out there, in so many environments, enjoying our wild birds, animals, butterflies, and dragonflies – particular interests of mine – and enjoying the sounds as well as their beauty can only be fully enjoyed through seeing the 'enjoyment in others' if I have painted the picture properly.
Is there anything else you would like to share with us?
I love to share my considerable experiences in birds and natural history and really enjoy lecturing. Subjects include Bird Ecology, Seabirds, Bird Ringing/Banding, Penguins, Butterflies, Dragonflies and the Fauna and Flora of many places around the world. Much of my experiences have been gained from working in the field as an ornithologist and survey organizer in Ireland, UK, Australia and in the Cruise Ship industry lecturing in Antarctica about natural history and also my Great-Uncle Edward Wilson of the Antarctic.
About Edward Wilson's Antarctic Notebook
We are enraptured by the images captured by the camera lens for the BBC's Frozen Planet. But when the nation's imagination was first seized by polar exploration a century ago, Robert Falcon Scott's team heading for the South Pole in 1911 had no means of recording colour images other than the skills of the chief of the scientific staff on the expedition, the self-taught artist Edward Wilson.
Wilson, who had also travelled with Scott on his earlier Antarctic expedition in 1901-04, was a gifted depictor of landscape and wildlife, and his images combine accuracy with humanity and humour, ensuring a record of the voyages that not only provides invaluable research material, but also a fascinating insight into the personalities involved and the challenges they faced.
To coincide with the centenary of Scott's final expedition, Wilson's great-nephews, David and Christopher Wilson, have brought together images and texts from the great southern expeditions in Edward Wilson's Antarctic Notebooks (Reardon Publishing). Their ancestor died with his colleagues, but his legacy is the work that conveys, with timeless power, the challenges and rewards of polar exploration. Edward's combination of record and interpretation is the epitome of expedition artwork.
