Kings regroup, ready for Game 5
Los Angeles faces New York Friday afternoon at 5 p.m. inside Staples Center with another chance to clinch the Stanley Cup -- this time on home ice.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The Kings may have had a difficult night in New York, but after losing Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, then spending almost 5 1/2 hours in the air and landing in L.A. at 3 a.m., most of the players were ready to get back on the ice.
And so they did.
A majority of the Kings suited up for an optional skate at the team's training facility early Thursday afternoon, perhaps wanting to forget their 2-1 loss to the Rangers the night before at Madison Square Garden. The defeat reduced their advantage to 3-1 in the best-of-seven series, but their resolve clearly was unshaken.
"No rest for the weary," Justin Williams said in the Kings dressing room. "We're back home. I just wish the game started today."
Game 5 will come soon enough. The Kings and Rangers face off Friday afternoon at 5 p.m. inside Staples Center, and although the chance to clinch the Cup will feel sweeter on their home ice, they would have preferred not to give their opponents any hope.
The Rangers stayed alive, in part because the puck stopped twice on the goal line in front of their net, the second time with 1 minute 11 seconds left in regulation.
But true to their nature, the Kings weren't lamenting their bad luck. They still have three chances to secure their second Stanley Cup in three seasons.
"Just win is what we have to do," Williams said. "I don't care where it is, I don't care what it is. Just win one more."
That will mean getting off to a better start, forcing the action and putting the Rangers on their heels. The Kings outshot the Rangers 15-1 in the third period and 41-19 for the game, but they couldn't overcome a 2-0 second-period deficit.
Still, they preferred not to call their inability to win the game frustrating.
"I don't think it's frustration," Mike Richards said. "You're hoping it comes, but I don't think it's frustrating. You have your chances, they had some chances. That's just the way it goes sometimes."
How close were Kings to carrying home Cup in Game 4? This close
Although Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said the Kings probably played their best game of the series in the loss, there were certainly areas that could be better.
"I don't like the way the goals were scored against us last night," coach Darryl Sutter said. "(The first) was basically right after a penalty, a penalty that we didn't have to take after winning a faceoff. The second one was obviously losing a battle at the net.
"You've got to score three goals to win. I've said that. I know some don't agree, but it's true."
No matter. The Kings' focus now is on winning one more. The sweep is gone, but hoisting the Cup on their home ice, in front of their fans, undoubtedly will feel satisfying.
"You always have to look at the end result, and where we're sitting right now is nice," Williams said. "We're sitting exactly where we need to be. But we need to elevate our game just as they did in Game 4 if we're going to have a chance to win (in) five."

I haven't released in 4 days, any explanations?

hello health section.
i figured this'll be the right place to ask.
the problem is, i haven't released (took a sh-t) in about 4 days and i'm beginning to worry.
the first thing to imply is, my diet.
i've been drinking 2-3 bottles of water everyday, which is normal. but all the water will just be pissed outta me.
i believe i eat regular.
i don't eat breakfast on the weekdays because there's no time, due to the fact that i go to school in the morning.but on weekends, i eat a decent breakfast, like eggs or waffles.
i usually go about the early morning (weekdays) with a growling stomach, then when it's school lunch time, i eat a pizza or chicken tender, with a candy bar after.. just for the energy.
when i go home, i eat whatever's available. sometimes, there's pastry on the table, waffles in the freezer, famous amos cookies in the closet... junk basically, but i don't eat them all.
for dinner, i'll have rice, beans, and meat all the time.. then i'll have another water bottle.
i just don't understand what my body is still doing with old food in my system.
the second day i realized i haven't released, i began eating apples a day... apples are a good source of dietary fiber, which'll help my digestive track, but that didn't seem to help at all. i'm still pissing out water.
i believe i need more fruits in my diet, instead of meat and junk food. but actually, i'm a child who can't obtain those resources because my parents buy the groceries, not me.
they barely rarely buy fruits and vegetables.
i try to help my digestive track by hyperventilating through my mouth so i can oxygenize my food, so they can flow. this method isn't working either.
before all this, the last time i released, i had diareah that made feces in all types of light brownish shapes..
uhh, and i'm constantly sitting down.
so is there anyone who can, give me feedback on this? i'm not getting the science behind my physical body.
my light body on the other hand is learning to dream.

let me tell you a little story about smooth move tea....
you go to your local grocery store, in the tea section, and look for a tea that is called smooth move
you go home that night boil 8 oz of water and place one of these tea bags in that water...drink it i recommend you do this at about 7 or 8 pm
go to bed
at around 3 or 4 am you will be awaken by this sensation, it will cause you to clinch your butt cheeks as hard as you can, get out of bed, and jagger step as fast as you can to the toilet, in the mean time you are breaking a though sweat...as soon as you sit you a.ss on that toilet seat...boom you got your smooth move
|class of - - #12
i included that i had about 2 apples a day, for 3 days. how come those apples didn't shake any of my intestines to digest this nonsense can anyone explain this?
i just bought some fiber-one granola bars. i did this before. have a fiber one diet . it took granolas and water to get my intestines going.
i never heard of smooth move tea. but i wonder if walmart has it. time ago, when i drank coffee, it served me as a bit of a laxative for me to release. now, it doesn't work for me much, i just p!ss golder urine
if you guys really think i eat too much crap... i'm just gonna open this bag of fiber in a bar see how that works.
i don't wanna bring death into the equation. i don't even want to call a doctor. they'll probably just give me pills and such, so no

Comments Thread For: San Antonio Holds Separate History For Chavez, Vazquez
By Jake Donovan - The show is titled Welcome To The Future, but you cant help but begin to reminisce about the past, give the combatants on the February 4 HBO show at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. puts his unbeaten record and perhaps his alphabet middleweight belt on the line against veteran contender Marco Antonio Rubio in the main event. The co-feature showcases Nonito Donaire Jrs debut in the 122 lb. division, looking to claim hardware in a fourth weight class when he faces Wilfredo Vazquez Jr in a vacant title fight.
Of the three juniors on the televised portion of the show, Donaire is the only one whose father wasnt a pro fighter. Its just as well as he is also the only one among them who has no real ties to the location, this being his first fight in Texas and in a new weight class.
For the Chavez and Vazquez families, far greater history exists.
Tuesdays press conference at the very venue that hosts next months show officially marked the second time in the span of less than three months that Chavez Jr (44-0-1, 31KO) touched down in Texas. The 25-year old Mexican is coming off of a fifth round knockout of Peter Manfredo Jr last November in Houston, where he had also made his U.S. debut early in his pro career. [Click Here To Read More]

About a week ago, a few of us from work drove over to Le Mans and I was reminded once again of the Europeans and in my humble opinion their better quality of driving. Last weekend however, while driving back to my parents, I had to tackle the M25 and Saturday appeared to be one of those days when the 'less blessed with driving ability' were out on the road. Thus, this blog posting is two fold
That's pretty much the view we have taken with Office Communication Server 2007, as discussed in the Psytechnics report. We don't assume QoS is in place and instead use some software trickery to make best use the bandwidth we have available. In an uncongested network we do as well as the competition, but if you add a bit of traffic to the network, we come out better than those that rely on QoS.

Aneurysmal disease is caused by a ballooning of the artery, often due to atherosclerosis or some other form of stress to the artery.1 In many cases, these types of structural changes take years to form, and often don't cause warning signs for many years, if at all. Depending on the etiology and size of the aneurysm, medical management may be possible, but surgical treatment is often necessary. For instance, aortic aneurysms less than 5 cm (2 in) are only monitored unless they become symptomatic.1 Before the advent of endovascular aneurysm techniques, the only repair option was an extensive, open surgical procedure. These were often long and risky to the patient due to the extent of the surgical wound, risk of infection, and possible large blood loss (see Open surgical repair of AAA).
In the 1990s, a new, less invasive technique employing interventional radiology evolved and allowed many aneurysms–especially those in the aorta–to be repaired through the use of stent grafts rather than open techniques.2 Although less invasive than open repair, endovascular aneurysm repair isn't without its own set of risks and complications. These can be procedural issues, such as malposition of the stent pieces, device defects, or development of an endoleak, which allows blood to continue to flow into the aneurysmal sac despite the repair.2
Although stent graft repair can be employed in many different aneurysmal areas, perioperative nurses are most likely to encounter aortic aneurysms, which can be abdominal, known as endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) or thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR). Thoracic aneurysms are usually much larger than abdominal aneurysms and, due to their location, require cardiac surgery standby should an open repair become necessary. Both of these procedures require special supplies, radiologic imaging equipment, and highly-trained staff in addition to the patient's proper preoperative workup. CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging, and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are all available diagnostic tests that can be used to measure the size of the aneurysm.1 An arteriogram may also be performed to evaluate circulation around the aneurysm to the extremities and other surrounding organs.1 The perioperative nurse should ensure the performed diagnostic test results are available intraoperatively and posted according to the surgeon's preference. The nurse should also verify all endovascular supplies, implants, and the company representative (if requested) are available prior to the start of the procedure (see An example of a basic supply list for EVAR and TEVAR procedures).
The preoperative patient interview is a vital function of the perioperative nurse. During this time, the completeness of any necessary paperwork, such as the history, physical, and surgical consent, should be reviewed. The patient's past medical and surgical history, as well as current medications and allergies, should also be carefully examined. Preexisting cardiac, respiratory, and renal problems should be identified during the preoperative interview. The perioperative nurse should alert other team members to any possible complications and ensure a cardiac clearance is available if requested. Any renal impairment can affect the patient's ability to excrete anesthetic medications and radiographic I.V. contrast media. A thorough review of all recent lab tests should also be performed, particularly coagulation studies and creatinine levels. Patients with vascular disease are usually on anticoagulant medications for thromboprophylaxis, which can adversely affect prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT), leading to excessive intraoperative bleeding. Normal PT is 10 to 14 seconds, and PTT is 32 to 45 seconds.2 Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine levels also need to be reviewed preoperatively, since high lab levels paired with the intraoperative use of I.V. contrast media can cause inadvertent renal damage. Normal BUN is 6 to 23 mg/dL, and normal creatinine levels are 0.6 to 1.5 mg/dL.2 Past abdominal surgeries that can cause scar tissue as well as the use of any closure devices from past interventional procedures should be assessed, since both of these can hinder vascular access to repair the aneurysm and endovascular stent device deployment. It's also helpful to review any prior orthopedic surgeries that may affect positioning and patient comfort, especially if the procedure will be done under monitored anesthesia care. The perioperative nurse should also confirm if a preoperative bowel preparation was performed, if prescribed, and if the patient has been N.P.O. The nurse should also verify which medications the patient took prior to surgery. The patient should have been instructed to continue any cardiac and respiratory medications as prescribed with the exception of anticoagulants and medications for diabetes, which are usually held for a specific amount of time determined by the surgeon. The perioperative nurse must alert the surgeon and anesthesia care provider if this hasn't occurred as planned.
In addition to the necessary preparation for the team, the preoperative interview is also a time to assess the patient's understanding of the procedure and educate and support the patient as needed. Be sure the patient is aware of the possibility of having to convert to an open procedure and that the patient is properly consented for that risk. In addition, remind the patient and family that the patient may be transferred to the ICU after surgery and may have several tubes in place, including an endotracheal tube and urinary drainage catheter. During this time, the ICU nurses will be frequently monitoring BP and pulses in the feet and groin. Letting the patient and family know what to expect will help alleviate any fear should these additional safety measures occur postoperatively.
Endovascular aneurysm procedures may occur in an OR, within an interventional radiology, or a catheterization lab suite. No matter where the procedure is scheduled, a radiolucent operating table—allowing vision from the patient's nipples to knees—is required for the surgeon to see the devices being deployed intraoperatively. Proper radiologic equipment, such as a C-arm, and ideally, an additional monitor, is also needed along with a high-pressure I.V. contrast medium injection system and possibly an IVUS. The basic room setup and procedure steps are similar among all endovascular procedures (see Endovascular procedure room setup). The perioperative nurse needs to keep proper totals of any I.V. contrast media injected, urine output, and estimated blood loss. The perioperative nurse will also need to keep accurate records of which stent graft devices are implanted into the patient, and properly complete the implant recording method used within the facility. Proper radiation safety and use of protective devices are also important concepts in any endovascular procedure and will be discussed in greater detail later.
The surgeon will palpate or employ the use of an external Doppler to locate the femoral artery on each side of the patient's groin. This artery is then accessed either through a mini groin dissection (see Groin dissection–open technique) or percutaneous technique using a needle stick. Once the vessel is visualized, a percutaneous needle is inserted into it, and a flexible guidewire is passed through the hollow bore of the needle into the vessel. This guidewire will be used to allow the surgeon to insert a sheath into the vessel once the percutaneous needle is removed. The size of the sheath chosen depends upon the size of the vessel and the size of the endovascular stent graft to be placed into the aneurysm. The initial sheaths are often smaller in diameter and used to introduce the stiffer guidewires that'll guide the stent graft devices into the vessel. Once the stiff wires have been placed, the flexible guidewires are removed, and the smaller sheaths are replaced with one that has a larger diameter and length. On occasion, based on surgeon preference, the device may be deployed bare (without the use of the larger sheaths). In this case, the stent devices are loaded onto the stiffer wires into the vessel itself. Once it's decided which side the main body of the graft will be deployed, an angiographic catheter will be inserted on the opposite side, so I.V. contrast media and IVUS can be used. Angiographic catheters come in many shapes and lengths to enhance the ease of insertion. Many also have radiolucent markings, so their exact position can be determined under the C-arm.
The stent graft is packaged into several pieces, each inside its own deployment device. The main body of the stent graft is deployed first under radiography followed by the iliac limb on the opposite side. Additional iliac extension pieces and an aortic cuff can be placed, so the device covers the length of the aneurysm (see Parts of a stent graft and Steps of stent graft deployment). Once all pieces have been placed and before the incisions are closed, an angiographic balloon catheter may be placed into the devices to ensure a proper fit. Another angiogram is taken to evaluate placement and look for one of the most common complications of endovascular repair: an endoleak.
An endoleak is a complication that allows blood to still flow into the aneurysmal sac.2 There are four types of endoleaks that are based upon where the leak is occurring. (See Classification of endoleaks.) Type V endoleaks are not actually leaks. They are different because the aneurysmal sac continues to enlarge even though there is no apparent leak (often referred to as endotension).3
Type I endoleaks are significant and account for approximately 10% of EVAR endoleaks.3 These leaks are usually treated as soon as they are discovered, often during initial implantation, since they don't usually resolve on their own. Angioplasty is often used as the first attempt to treat type I endoleaks.4 Treatment options can range from deployment of additional stent pieces (aortic cuffs and iliac limbs), embolization, or conversion to an open procedure if the endoleak isn't resolved, especially in a proximal type I leak with a large aneurysm.3 The use of bare metal balloon expandable stents over the affected area is also a treatment option.4 it's suggested by some authors that proper patient selection and endovascular stent device choices can help to avoid these types of endoleaks.3
Type II endoleaks are caused by "retrograde flow through collateral vessels into the perigraft space."3 These types of endoleaks may appear at implantation or may have a delayed appearance during one of the follow-up scans; they may also account for 10% to 25% of incidences.4 Treatment is required if the aneurysmal sac continues to enlarge or if the enlargement has persisted for longer than 6 months.3 Many of these endoleaks that do not cause sac expansion will resolve on their own.4 When intervention is chosen, employment of devices, such as embolization coils, synthetic fiber formed into a coil, occlusion plugs, and mesh/gel devices to the offending vessels to clot off the bleeding vessels, are the most common treatments. These coils can be placed as a single-vessel embolization or through a translumbar approach, where the patient is positioned prone, and the coils are placed into the aneurysmal sac and feeding vessels.4 These coils may be stainless steel or platinum, and each have associated risks and benefits. Stainless steel coils are beneficial, especially in later radiographic follow-up because they produce less artifact, but they are stiffer, whereas platinum coils form a tighter plug for the endoleak.4 Laparoscopic clipping and robotic ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) are also options.4
Type III endoleaks, also known as device failure, are similar to type I endoleaks, and as a result, require immediate treatment. These types of leaks are usually treated by adding additional stent graft pieces to compensate for the defect followed by additional angioplasty.4 Type IV isn't really a device failure but simply due to the nature of the device material itself. As endovascular stent grafts have continued to advance, these leaks are no longer common. When they occur, it's usually immediately after placement when the patient is anticoagulated for the procedure. As a result, when the anticoagulant medications have resolved and the patient's blood levels have returned to normal, these types of endoleaks usually resolve on their own.4 Type V (endotension) appears to be related to the graft's design, the transfer of vibrations from the pulsatile wall of the graft to the aneurysmal sac, and may be relieved by releasing pressure through the use of a spinal needle.3 In other situations, the stent grafts may need to be replaced, additional stent pieces may need to be placed for reinforcement, or the procedure may need to be converted to an open repair.4 Stent pieces are placed endoscopically under radiograph, usually C-arm. Each piece is packaged separately in a long, dilator-type device and threaded up a guidewire placed by the surgeon. The items are then uncoiled from the packaged device inside the patient. This is continued for each piece to be used. After positioning, an endoscopic balloon is usually used to expand the device in the patient and help it seal.
The advancing uses for fluoroscopy have greatly improved the treatment of patients. This is especially true in endovascular procedures. Unfortunately, it has risks and benefits. Anyone using radiation must understand its use and effects on the body, and ways to use it safely to prevent injury. These potential hazards can be acute (dermatitis) or more chronic (skin cancer or genetic damage that may lead to congenital effects to future offspring).
Radiation safety consists of three basic principles: time, distance, and shielding.2 The key concept of time is to limit exposure to the radiation. This is true for both the patient and staff. In reference to distance, OR staff need to stay as far away as possible from where the radiation is being emitted. Finally, the concept of shielding is twofold. In reference to patients, expose the necessary areas of the body that are needed on the radiographic equipment. Protective shields (lead aprons) must be used for both the patient and the OR staff. If the OR staff are within 24 inches, they should also wear a thyroid shield and lead eyewear.5,7 Leaded gloves are also available for the surgeon, since the surgeon's hands often need to be kept under the imaging device to control the angiographic supplies.
There are two main guidelines put forth by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regarding radiation exposure. One relates to the general industry, and the other is specific to healthcare: OSHA Technical Manual Hospital Investigation Health Hazards (Section IV Chapter 1).5 Their main recommendations include: wearing radiation badges that track exposure; use of barrier lead walls and lead plated glass in X-ray rooms; use of shielding devices (lead aprons and eyeglasses); designation of a specific person's responsibility for monitoring; and maintenance of radiographic equipment.5
Immediately after the surgery, the patient is usually transported to the postanesthesia care unit or directly to the surgical intensive care unit based on the surgeon and anesthesia care provider's preferences. In addition to standard postoperative monitoring, such as vital signs and pain measurement, the nurse recovering an endovascular patient needs to be observant for any bleeding or swelling from the operative sites. Distal pulses and temperature should also be monitored, since circulation to the areas below the intervention may be impeded by the implanted devices. Urine output should also be monitored closely due to the possible injury to renal vessels or reaction to the I.V. contrast media given intraoperatively. If the procedure was performed percutaneously, the patient will usually need to lie flat for 4 to 6 hours and may need a pressure device to help the puncture sites stabilize.2 Although it depends on the condition of each patient and surgeon preference, these patients are usually discharged within 1 to 2 days after the procedure. Patients should be instructed to call their physician immediately if they experience pain, swelling, or bleeding at the incision sites, cold or numbness of the lower extremities, unusual dizziness, chest pain, or back pain.6
After having EVAR or TEVAR, patients need lifelong radiographic surveillance to monitor graft placement, development of endoleaks, and enlargement of the aneurysm.4 Due to the possibility of delayed endoleaks weighted against the risk of prolonged radiation exposure, follow-up protocol is often adjusted to each individual patient and their adherence to continued lifelong scans. With that said, a CT scan, often triphasic computed tomography angiography (CTA),4 is usually performed within 24 hours after the procedure. Subsequent follow ups are every 3 months for the first year and may employ ultrasounds instead of CT scans. For instance, an ultrasound at 1 month post-op, CT scan at 3 months, ultrasound at 6 months, CT scan at 1 year, and then annually thereafter.6 Additional methods that can be used include magnetic resonance and duplex ultrasounds.4 Once an endoleak has been discovered (usually on CTA), the patient may be referred for digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for classification and then scheduled for the repair procedure.4
Recommended practices (RPs) and care plans are part of the perioperative nurse's daily practice. The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) has developed several RPs relevant to endovascular surgery, such as reducing radiologic exposure.7
Other important concepts include the AORN guidance statement: "Safe medication practices in perioperative settings across the life span" and "Recommended practices for maintaining a sterile field" are also important in all procedures, especially in endovascular surgery.7 This is due to the usage of medications, such as I.V. contrast media and heparin, which can have life-threatening consequences due to dosing errors, medication allergies, and contraindications based on the patient's medical history. Maintaining a proper sterile field is important in any procedure and especially during endovascular procedures, which utilize groin incisions with a large number of natural flora. The placement of permanent implants also increases the risks associated with surgical site infections, since these foreign bodies are difficult to remove if they become infected. A review of AORN's current Perioperative Standards and Recommended Practices is recommended to evaluate all the applicable documents relevant to these procedures.7
The related nursing diagnosis "risk of injury" and "risk of infection" are key diagnoses related to the RPs.2 The obvious desired outcome is to keep the patient free from injury, such as electrosurgical, radiological, positional causes, and infection related to the surgical procedure.2 Appropriate preoperative interview, intraoperative planning and surveillance, and surgical sterile technique can prevent many of these potential problems.2
The endovascular technique has been shown to be a beneficial medical advancement, especially in the treatment of aneurysms. Increases in education and technology are helping to make these procedures safer and more effective for patients. Many of the potential complications can be avoided with proper patient and device selection. The only major drawback for patients seems to be the continued need for lifelong follow-up and the risks involved with excessive radiologic exposure. As advances in treatments help to decrease the risks of endoleaks and other complications, hopefully, a time will come when they will no longer be an issue, and such stringent follow ups will not be required. Until then, multidisciplinary teamwork and patient adherence to the postoperative follow-up schedule are keys to a successful outcome in these complex cases.

I agree with most of the comments here. C/C++ are great to learn to use but they are fazing out in a lot of more common areas. They still have their place and will probably have their place for a very long time yet to come. Learning will make you a better programmer overall even in more modern languages. For games you really do not need C++ or C. There are lots of great technologies out there today that are beyond capable of keeping up. Heck even today much of the games you play are done with scripting languages and those languages hook into the C++ rendering engine on the backend.
The main reason I say C/C++ will be for around for a long time is mainly because of specific areas like kernel development as well as embedded micro controller development. Sure there are new languages coming out that are compiled to machine code like Google's Go. The big downfall of those types of languages is the lack of direct memory access through pointers and direct interfacing with assembly code. In the world of Kernels and embedded micro controller (think ARM Cortex M, PIC, AVR) you really need that otherwise you can't really do anything without extreme C interfacing hoops. Some of those chips are so tiny in memory you would be lucky to get a runtime driven language on them. These are extreme cases.
So in the end if you are learning your first language I would recommend it not be C++. I would rather see a new programmer on their first language use pure C, C#, Java, or Python. C is a very simple language to learn and will let you learn some really useful concepts this is still my all time favorite language. C#, Java, and Python are also relatively simple languages that rule out memory management and will allow you to focus on core algorithm concepts. Choose something you want to choose not what everyone forces you to choose and stick with it for a while before moving on. Every language you learn will teach you something new.

I ought to have let you choose, but if you'd chosen wrong I should have felt such a cur.
It is a fool's plan to teach a man to be a cur in peace, and think that he will be a lion in war.
There is no cur in the De Artigny strain, and I fight my own battles.
"You were always a cur and a traitor, Mark Shaw," cried Aylward.
The pedlar, who was by no means pleased with this outrage against his cur, now interfered.
In the village two people only, the cur and the garde champtre?
The Raven died because he asked too many questions an' was too cur'ous.
"It's cur'osity as is the mischief i' this world," said the drowsy-eyed countryman.
A cur dog, as a rule, can drive the largest wolf on the plains.
But you are learning, cur; you are learning by the pain of your fat carcase; is it not so, carrion?
early 13c., curre, earlier kurdogge used of both vicious dogs and cowardly dogs, probably from Old Norse kurra or Middle Low German korren both echoic, both meaning "to growl." Cf. Swedish dialectal kurre, Middle Dutch corre "house dog."

the fourth disc was mistakenly labeled as Star Trek TNG S1 D5 although the menu says Disc four. Inexcusable really. Was someone asleep at the authoring controls? Wow.
I was wondering if anyone else might notice that!
I certainly did! I had to rename the disc after copying it to my computer. I copied all the discs to my computer, and then individually de-muxed out the episodes. I do this because, honestly, the subtitles found on most blu-rays, including this particular set, are shit. A transparent background, to appease hearing people that don't want the subtitles to "get in the way". So, after de-muxing the episodes out, along with the .sup files, I OCR the .sup files to .srt files. This way, I can change the font, size of font, and lastly, add in a black opaque background so that the subtitles are ALWAYS readable regardless of the scene.
Try reading the blu-ray subtitles on a light background, or a background that has snow as a backdrop. Yeah, good luck with that.

In the name of economic reforms a series of harsh steps are taken by central government of India. Prominent among them is giving away the subsidies on fuel prices. Energy is nerve of economic development of every country and any change in that is affecting the social fabric of the country. Our government says that it is spending a huge amount to keep the prices of fuel low by means of subsidies thus it is not able to decrease the fiscal deficit. On other hand it is also increasing the government levies in all the sectors, it has included as many sectors in services also and filling its coffers. The spending is very low in the key areas like health and education. Whatever it is spending in the name of development mainly in infrastructure is going in the pockets of a few influential individuals and Corporates.
This is not a new finding or a new story, this has been expressed by all social activists as well as the educated class of this country many a times. Dr. Manmohan Singh, our very learned Prime Minister who gained a lot of popularity and appreciation in his last tenure as Finance minister of India During Narasimha Rao's term has failed miserably this time as a prime minister, being a well known economist he forgot his other duty, that is as a leader of this country. His concerns about economic meltdown the world over and slow growth rate is no doubt legitimate and understandable but at the same time he must also know that he is the Prime minister of this country and welfare of its citizen is his first priority. He cannot make the life of the citizens who especially those who are just surviving and struggling to get the two ends meet every day miserable by increasing the prices of essential commodities. It has already happened in electricity sector, instead of finding a solution of generating and distributing low cost electricity the government instead allowed greedy people to generate electricity and buying it on an exorbitant prices, the individuals are none other than the near and dear ones of these self centered politicians, if it is not them directly then they are in hand in glove with a few crook businessmen.
The time has come that our central as well as state leadership come out of their shell of economic reforms and try something new which is viable and progressive. Manmohan Singh cannot behave like an accountant whose main aim is to get more revenue to the company, instead he must lead from the front and behave like a statesman, a leader who keeps the interest of the people first, the one who is not very keen to receive applaud from world bank and other international forums, who always hail him for his tough decisions.

The Impact of Trade and Labor Market Regulations on Employment and Wages: Evidence from Developing Countries
This paper examines the effects of openness and labor market rigidity on labor market outcomes in the manufacturing sector using panel data from 48 developing countries. Results from reduced form equations for employment and wages suggest hat on average trade liberalization has had a weak impact on employment and wages. At the same time, however, the effects of trade liberalization is any given country are conditional on the nature of labor market regulations: trade liberalization is more likely to have a positive impact on employment and wages in countries with flexible labor markets and vice versa. Additionally, more regulated labor markets tend to have higher average wages but these appear to come at the expense of sector wide employment.

I was on a bus many years ago going through (and through, and through) L.A. during the winter, and it snowed! None of us on the bus could believe it, but there it was right outside the windows.... palm trees and snow. I mean a blizzard. Amazing. Now we're in Florida, and the A/C is kicking on this morning at 8AM. One Christmas in Hawaii, we had to come inside to finish our meal because it was so blazing hot outside. Three years ago in New Mexico, just 50 miles from the Mexican border, I rode my bike to get coffee at my hangout in 9 degree weather, w/ snow that had hardened into ice on the roads.
I'd rather be complaining about the heat than the cold, hence the Florida move. I mean, Florida summers can make you feel like you're gonna die, but Up North winters WILL kill you. I have a photo somewhere around here that shows our thermometer on the back porch w/ the needle at 9 degrees. I hope to never see something like that again as long as I live.

3D Flick Field Goal is unique, beautiful, and so challenging it's hard to put down. The question is, can you really Master it?
Pure passion, true intensity and visually stunning impact! With this game, you kick from different distances to the goal post under changing wind directions.

- Stunning 3D graphics!
VERY addicting game. Great graphics. How about adding some options? Time of day? Stadium appearance? Maybe add an animation of a kicker kicking the ball after the swipe? More than the same three sounds? Great, addicting, fun game. Just has so much untapped potential.
Good Too cartoonish. Update: Leaving this app for Field Goal Tournament which has superior graphics and different levels of play and day/night and thunderstorm displays (for free). It's been good times, but I'm moving on.
Surprisingly fun Not sure why but this game is hard to put down and a fantastic time killer
Great American Football If you download and play every other similar type game (free field goal) on Google Play you will see this game has the same features at a better quality. This app's footprint and permission requirements are also MUCH smaller than the majority of the competition. Try it, you can always dump it if you don't like it.
Good game Though it has its faults (which is to be expected), I am very Impressed with the way they've handled this game. The challenge is very realistic and is good, though I wish there were more game modes like in flick shoot. Overall very good game.
You can tell the person that created the game doesn't know much about foofball. Bet they don't have the rights to use the nfl logo in the game either.

text: national elk refuge Long Billed Curlew Mate Gets Satellite Transmitter, Too By Melodie Edwards • Jun 15, 2015 Eric Cole / USFWS North America's largest shorebird—the Long Billed Curlew--might not be a household name now, but a lot more is about to be discovered about its nesting and migration habits. New funding this year has allowed researchers to affix satellite transmitters on 7 new curlews in Western Wyoming. Researcher Jay Carlisle with the Intermountain Bird Observatory at Boise State University says last year they tracked a female named AJ that migrated to central Mexico, which is much farther than usual. Jackson Elk Herd Numbers Mixed By Jordan Giese • Mar 12, 2015 The Jackson elk herd is not wintering in locations that the Wyoming Game and Fish Department say can support such high numbers. While the overall population of 11,000 is healthy, several locations have more elk than they can support. The National Elk Refuge and the Snake River Corridor areas are both bursting at the seams with elk this winter. Game and Fish Spokesman Mark Gocke says two issues are to blame animals are migrating down from better range to the north and they have unusually high birth rates this year. He says hunting could help the problem. Elk At National Refuge Well Above Management Goals By Jordan Giese • Feb 19, 2015 The National Elk Refuge in Jackson has completed their annual classification count. For the second year in a row more than 8,000 wintering elk were counted, well over the refuge's 5,000 elk goal. That goal comes from the refuge's 15 year management plan which began in 2007. The plan outlines sustainable elk and bison populations for habitat conservation and disease management in the Jackson area. The refuge has been trying to reduce the animal's reliance on winter feeding at the refuge. National Elk Refuge Cautions Drivers By Jordan Giese • Nov 18, 2014 Large numbers of Elk have been seen migrating near Jackson and across major roadways last weekend. The National Elk Refuge is urging drivers around the Jackson area to be especially careful in the coming week as hundreds of elk make their way across the area. The refuge says a winter storm that brought colder temperatures and more than a foot of snow likely kicked off the migration. Elk mainly move at dawn and dusk which makes sighting them more difficult. Refuge spokesperson Lori Iverson says migrations, wintery conditions and drivers take a toll on animals in the area. Elk Mortality Up On Some Feedgrounds By Willow Belden • Apr 28, 2014 More elk than usual died this year on two wildlife feed grounds in western Wyoming. Mark Gocke with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department says about 160 animals died on the Camp Creek and Soda Lake feed grounds. Most were calves. The reason was a combination of disease and wolf predation. Gocke says they had a very wet spring this year, which made it easy for bacteria to spread. "It's probably just a combination of elk being weakened by the disease, and then a predator doing what predators do: they see a weak animal, and they will go in and take it," Gocke said. Report shows wildlife refuges benefit communities By Chelsea Biondolillo • Nov 11, 2013 Wiki Commons According to a new report released by US Fish and Wildlife Services, Wyoming's wildlife refuges may be providing quite a bit of economic benefit to the state. The report looked at nearly one hundred refuges across the country, including the Seedskadee and Cokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuges in Wyoming. The report shows that these refuges brought in nearly half a million dollars to the surrounding area in 2011. Elk refuge warns outdoorsmen about grizzly sightings By Rebecca Martinez • Aug 30, 2013 Wikimedia Commons The National Elk Refuge is advising visitors to be on the lookout for grizzlies. Winter hunting opens in the National Elk Refuge By Jordan Harper • Aug 2, 2013 This month, the National Elk Refuge will open its bison hunting season to control herd sizes.The bison hunting season will be divided into 12 hunting periods with a week separating each, to prevent the bison from learning which areas of the refuge to avoid. Jackson Boy Scouts to auction off elk antlers By Rebecca Martinez • May 17, 2013 Jackson District Boy Scouts will host their annual Elk Antler Auction during Elkfest in the Jackson Town Square this weekend. Each year, the Boy Scouts receive a special-use permit to collect shed antlers on the National Elk Refuge. They then tie the antlers into large bundles for customers to bid on by weight. One-quarter of the proceeds benefit the Boy Scouts, and the rest will go to the Elk Refuge to fund elk habitat projects. Elk Refuge spokeswoman Lori Iverson says many of the auction customers are artists. Elk Antler Auction benefits habitat at National Elk Refuge By Rebecca Martinez • May 10, 2013 If you're looking for big, stately elk antlers to hang on your wall, the National Elk Refuge in Jackson would be a great place to find them… except the public isn't allowed onto the elk habitat. Instead, the Refuge and the Jackson Boy Scouts are gathering and bundling antlers to sell at the annual Elk Antler Auction in Jackson next weekend to benefit elk habitat projects. Wyoming Public Radio's Rebecca Martinez spoke with the Refuge's Lori Iverson about it. Iverson says she understands why people want elk antlers, but protecting the wildlife is her first priority. Bison hunt to begin By Rebecca Martinez • Aug 14, 2012 The Wyoming Game and Fish Department received thousands of applications for bison hunting permits this year, and invited about 400 of those to hunt. Spokesman Mark Gocke says hunters will be helping to reduce the herd size of the largest land animal in North America. The ideal herd size is 500 bison, but there are currently 900. Gocke says the drought has driven the bison herd from its typical summer rangeland and onto the Elk Refuge seeking forage. The herd competes with elk and other animals for food.

Skipper Hildreth leads Lions charge
Follow England Lions on their tour of the West Indies - click here for updates, interviews and exclusive videos
Skipper James Hildreth struck a magnificent unbeaten century as England Lions dominated the opening day of their clash with Leeward Islands.
It was an excellent start to the Lions' West Indies Cricket Board regional championship campaign as they reached an impressive 320 for three at Warner Park, St Kitts.
That was mainly due to Hildreth, who epitomised a solid all-round effort with the bat by reaching 127 not out at stumps.
Leicestershire starlet James Taylor, unbeaten on 79, also looks well placed to reach three figures tomorrow as England's second-string look to push on.
After Hildreth won the toss and elected to bat, England made a solid start in the face of some early swing with Adam Lyth driving confidently.
But, at the other end, Jimmy Adams struggled to find his rhythm and was soon trapped leg before by Anthony Martin for five.
Ravi Bopara, batting at three, joined Lyth in the middle with the latter soon going on to post his half-century.
Any hopes he had of a more substantial innings were soon dashed, though, as the opener hit Tonito Willett to Omari Banks on 55.
Bopara was in a typically aggressive mood; he and Hildreth shared an entertaining 61-run stand as the Lions continued to play fluently.
But the Essex man was also guilty of falling when well set, dismissed by Gavin Tonge for 46.
Hildreth and Taylor took centre stage thereafter, mixing good running with the odd boundary throughout as their alliance reached 186 by the close.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'99.99% of antiques in the market are fake'
Steff Gaulter | 12 Sep 2012 14:12 GMT | Environment, Humanitarian crises, Weather, US & Canada, Bermuda
The strongest winds recorded from Leslie were 137 kph in Cape Pine, the southernmost point of the Avalon Peninsula. [AP]
Tropical Storm Leslie slammed into eastern Canada on Tuesday, leaving thousands without power.
Leslie made landfall in Fortune, Newfoundland, at approximately 1130 GMT (0830 local time).
In the region around the capital, St John's, the winds gusted up to 131 kph, ripping down trees and power lines.
As the rains poured, the waves offshore reached 10 metres high.
Flights were cancelled, tree branches blocked several roads and a number of roofs were blown off houses. Approximately 100,000 households in St John's and the Avalon Peninsula suffered power cuts.
Fortunately the system moved through the area fairly quickly, so the misery caused by the storm was short-lived. Leslie moved through Cape Bonavista and out to sea on Tuesday afternoon as a post-tropical storm.
Although it is rare for a tropical cyclone to hit Canada, Leslie is not the first to make landfall. Two years ago, Hurricane Igor hit Newfoundland as a category 1 storm.
Igor is the most destructive tropical cyclone to hit Newfoundland on record. It led to the death of one person and caused approximately $128 million worth of damage. There is relief that Leslie was not as strong or as damaging as Igor.
Leslie hit Newfoundland just two days after skirting past the island of Bermuda, giving torrential rain and strong winds, but there were no reports of any major damage or injuries.
As Leslie moved across Canada, a new storm, Tropical Storm Nadine, formed in the Atlantic.
Nadine is expected to move northwest over the next few days, strengthening, but steering clear of land.

Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " Extremely disappointing. Stayed in the 10 bed coed dorm - bunks were small, there were limited power outlets in room, and no in-room lockers. Upon arrival and departure my experience with the front desk staff was awful. Rude workers who did not seem to care much about the customers. Pretty average free breakfast of toast, cereals, juice and coffee. Overall was not pleased by my experience -- most certainly was not worth the cost. "
- 14 Nov 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Overall it was an okay stay. I stayed in an all girls dorm, and the bathrooms were not clean. There was hair everywhere for the entire time we were there. I decided to wash my clothes and the dryer shut off before I could start it, so I had to hang my clothes all over the dorm to let them dry. It was in a good location to the city overall though, and comfortable enough of a stay. "
- 06 Oct 2015 Mandy USA
- " The hostel is very well located, perfect if you intend to only spend the night in dublin and then go on with a journey across Ireland. It is only two steps away from one of the train stations of Dublin (where you can take the DART), and walking distance from the big bus station. Plus, the police office stands nearby too, which kind of add something to the feeling of security, cause the neighborhood might seem to be a bit freaky when you first see it (lots of low cost shops & gambling areas). "
- 03 Oct 2015 Soukaina Belgium
- " This place had the best breakfast that we encountered on our 10-day tour over Ireland! It was fantastic, the ground floor felt like a cafe where you could chat with whomever you wanted, and the setup was definitely very very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone staying in the area. "
- 17 Sep 2015 Melanie Canada
- " A very good and clean Hotel with a helply staff. If we will come again to Dublin we will certainly choose this location! "
- 10 Sep 2015 Sven Germany
- " I liked this hostel, it was comfortable and all of the staff were friendly, except one. Best security I have seen without carrying a handful of keys. Negative = Breakfast until 10...at 9:45 the juice disappears, 9:48 the cereals are taken away, 9:53 bread is taken. Breakfast until ten, or not? "
- 30 Aug 2015 Anonymous USA
- " Was very good, and would stay again, even though I personally prefer to have lockers in the room, however, having them set up as you do is fine and may be more secure. That said, internet was spectacular, which is an enormous positive in my book. Thanks "
- 21 Aug 2015 Anonymous USA
- " A big hostel, the facilities are good, but the staff is not that nice and we feel like in a factory... "
- 15 Aug 2015 Anonymous France
- " Very friendly staff, good service. Located next to the bus station, so perfect for late arrivals. "
- 02 Aug 2015 Martin Switzerland
- " Very competent staff and nice common rooms. Dorms clean and include bathroom for each room rather than for each floor. Basic security good and they offer lockers for those looking for a bit extra. Location is excellent -1 minute from Busaras where you can get a bus to either the airport or Dublin Port and maybe 5 from the river- all for average price. Would recommend for anyone visiting Dublin on a budget, or in general actually. "

George Korda: A Knox county budget without a Next Big Project in sight
A few months ago Metro Pulse asked a few Knox County residents, me among them, what priorities we might recommend to Tim Burchett, the new county mayor.
I opined that it would be useful to set aside any thoughts that might take root of a Next Big Project, an expensive legacy program or costly structure that often bewitches elected officials like sultry sirens singing to lusting sailors.
Here, in part, is what I proposed: "worry about the mundane, routine and necessary stuff first, particularly early in your administration. Focus on financial stability and strength. Prove that you are capable of managing thoughtfully, efficiently and economically. Use your first budget as the vehicle to make this statement."
I'm not saying Mayor Burchett read that item in Metro Pulse and took it to heart. Nevertheless, the budget he submitted on May 2 to County Commission isn't far off.
No property tax increase. An executive offices budget more than $2 million lower than last year. Giving some, but not everything, of what several departments wanted. Use of symbolism to set a tone. Reducing, even if slightly, the government workforce. And more, some of which he could perhaps have done without.
As the News Sentinel reported, "the proposed plan stands at $652.9 million - up $5.6 million from the current budget, but the increases are mostly reflected in school-system costs. Part of that includes state-mandated raises for teacher and certified personnel." (At some point it would seem in Tennessee county governments interest to suggest to the General Assembly that if it wants to mandate raises, it should provide the money).
Years ago, while serving in city government, I examined at length survey research that showed that of three taxes – income, sales and property – property taxes were easily the most despised. No property tax increase is the more cowbell moment.
Cutting community grants 37 percent, to $521,000, is a politically gutsy move, particularly with the warning that more reductions are coming in future years.
Organizations receiving county funding generally have boards of directors with some degree of influence and constituencies that are pretty certain that funding reductions should be visited on someone else. They may not scream publicly, but they'll be grumbling to each other, their family, friends and organization members.
Burchett knows this, but that's the territory one stakes out when one stakes out such territory.
A style over budget substance situation is the mayor's tendency to go a little far with his rhetoric. On one side that's "Good ol' Tim" saying things a percentage of Knox County voters will eat up.
The other side is to consider the old adage, "Never go after a king until you can kill him," figuratively speaking. That means don't throw darts from a distance. It doesn't do much damage but the human dartboard will not take kindly to being stuck.
For example, one of the mayor's symbolic acts involves cutting his $20,000 discretionary account and each county commissioner's similar $3,000 account. It's very little money in a more than $650 million budget. However, the mayor's language – saying the public's perception that it is a "slush fund" - may not be greeted warmly by Knox County schools and others who have benefited from this funding.
Plus, county commissioners probably don't agree that they've been handling a "slush fund." But if there are ruffled feelings, they'll probably stay hidden. It's always dicey to take business personally, at least in public.
A less accusatory approach might have been to say this: "I am hopeful you are willing to join me in reducing spending, even in seemingly small ways, to help avoid raising taxes on our citizens."
Additionally, the mayor was quoted in the News Sentinel's budget story as saying his biggest fear is that county commission might treat the county's emergency fund "like it's Christmas, and it's not." Prudence suggests that it would be better to wait until a commissioner raises the idea of using the emergency fund, then strike. Otherwise, it's hitting without provocation. The hitter may enjoy a moment of satisfaction, but it shouldn't be surprising if the person being hit doesn't much like it and at some point seeks…payback.
But again, those are style issues. Overall the budget does what Knox Countians, a lot of Tennesseans and many Americans are crying out for government to do: quit spending so much money. Find ways to save. Tighten government's belt. Don't grow government. Don't raise our taxes.
Such a proposal is on the table, without a hint of a Next Big Project. Now we'll see how it plays among the commissioners who will decide its fate and those it is designed to serve.
