Mental Health
Important mental health habits—including coping, resilience and good judgment—help adolescents to achieve overall wellbeing and set the stage for positive mental health in adulthood. Although mood swings are common during adolescence, approximately one in five adolescents has a diagnosable mental disorder, such as depression and/or anxiety disorders. Friends and family can watch for warning signs of mental disorders and urge young people to get help. Effective treatments exist and may involve a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Unfortunately, less than half of adolescents with psychiatric disorders received any kind of treatment in the last year. MORE »

Yorktown resident Dumisani Mlungwana's occupational therapist license was placed on indefinite probation recently stemming from incidents on Oct. 4-7, 2011.
Mlungwana, 47, had been employed at Aegis Therapies and contracted to provide occupational therapy at Golden Living Center in Muncie when he was a no call-no show at Golden Living on Oct. 4-6, according to the state's occupational therapy committee. On Oct. 7, he reported to Golden Living while intoxicated.
His speech was slurred and confused, he couldn't focus on work, he lacked motor coordination, he was belligerent and talkative, he had bloodshot eyes, and a breath test showed his blood alcohol level was 0.313 percent - or nearly four times the legal limit for driving - the committee reported. Mlungwana declined to take a blood test.
As a result of his no call-no shows and reporting to work drunk, he was fired by Aegis.
The terms of probation require Mlungwana to submit to a complete addictionology examination.
OTs treat patients with injuries, illnesses, or disabilities through the therapeutic use of everyday activities. They help these patients develop, recover, and improve the skills needed for daily living and working. Most OTs have a master's degree. The average entry-level salary for an OT is $60,000.

The northern escarpment of Mesa Verde to the south and the volcanic blisters of La Plata Mountains to the west dominate the views around sprawling Cortez. With its Days Inns, Dairy Queens, and Best Westerns, the town has a layout that seems to have been determined by neon-sign and aluminum-siding salesmen of the 1950s. Hidden among these eyesores, however, are fine galleries, shops showcasing Indian art, and a host of secondhand

Duminy injury scare for ProteasComment on this story
Brisbane, Australia – JP Duminy has taken some of the gloss off South Africa's brilliant opening day in the first Test against Australia with an injury scare after the end of Friday's play at the Gabba.
The lower order batsman Duminy was warming down by kicking a rugby ball around with teammates on the playing field, after the Proteas reached stumps at 255 for two, when he suffered a mishap.
Duminy, 28, a star of South Africa's historic 2-1 series victory in Australia four years ago, was carried off the ground by medical staff.
A team spokesperson said Duminy had been taken to hospital for scans on a left ankle.
Duminy could play an important role for the Proteas in the remainder of the first Test with his off-spin after leg-spinner Imran Tahir was left out of the team for the Gabba opener. – Sapa-AFP

What Do You Think About the Best Actor?
Like us on Facebook
No surprise here: the incomparable Daniel Day-Lewis won the award for Best Actor. He was among a distinguished group of actors that included George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Tommy Lee Jones, and Viggo Mortensen. What do you think about this win?

Daniel is always a different person in every role he plays. He's always awe-inspiring to watch. I say out of the five in the category this year he truly deserved it.

I still stand by my opinion that Viggo deserved this Oscar. I saw all the movies and still don't get how DDL over acting is consider award worthy. haha! Viggo was flat out brilliant.
robinesque 7 years
Of course, he won! He is an amazing actor. I can't see Clooney beating him ever.
yiddidea 7 years
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that in all honesty I thought the award belonged to Viggo for Eastern Promises. Daniel was very good in TWBB but Viggo really blew me away with his performance. But, it is impossible to compare the two roles so they are all winners really.

it would have bee GREAT for clooney to win but i think that we all knew that it wasn't going to happen. good for daniel though ...they all say that he makes one picture every 10 years and it's always up for nomination

after a short discussion on the mailing list, saved here so that it isn't forgotten (again, this is not urgent and I'm glad nonlinear restrictions have been enabled at all):
<Allin:> If you do that, please include a detailed design suggestion.
<Sven:> Well correct me if I'm wrong, but constructing the auxiliary restriction
function which returns a zero matrix under the null hypothesis is purely
algorithmic. So if you have a restriction as in the above example,
b[LRY]*b[IBO] - 2*b[IDE]*b[LRY] = 0
it directly translates into:
matrix h0 = b[1]*b[2]-2*b[3]*b[1]
(well the ordering of the coeffs needs to be taken into account of
course) and the rest is already implemented in gretl. And I think it's
completely ok to require that nonlinear restrictions should be given
with a zero on the right-hand side.
Sven S.
Perhaps some of this is covered by the function package "waldTest" by Oleh Komashko, but haven't really checked.

Verne Gagne Passes Away
News just broke out on WWE.com that legendary Minnesota wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer Verne Gagne is now dead. He passed away this evening at the age of 89, and I wish I had more details, but don't at this moment. RIP
9 Time World Champion and one of the most successful promoters of all time. The man who first trained Ric Flair and made Hulk Hogan a star, also broke in and trained Shawn Micheals, Scott Hall, worked extensively with The Road Warriors, Curt Henning, not too mention Nick Bockwinkle.
One of the star names from the golden era of pro wrestling.
AWA in its day, was a thriving territory before the mid 80s.... and as mentioned above its a who's who of wrestling who passed through the territory on the way to becoming bigger stars:
Hogan, Flair, Steamboat, Michaels, Hening, Hall, Martel, Ventura, Billy Graham, Santanna, Road Warriors, Iron Sheik, Heenan to name a few.
RIP Verne Gagne

Really sad to hear.
It will be interesting to see how WWE handle this, they put him the HOF for example but his later life was controversial and this raises some uncomfortable parallels and questions on how they handle it.
His career is almost faultless, AWA is a legendary promotion and for much of it Verne was on the nail in running it, it was only Hogan's era that really stymied it but without him a lot of the guys we grew up watching don't develop.
As a wrestler he was a top 3 of all time shooter, he knew what the hell he was doing and few ever disrespected Verne.
Sadly as he got older he got sick and it led to an unfortunate issue where as an 85 year old, without control of his faculties... he killed his nursing home roommate.
Why bring it up? Why is it important? Before anyone flames, think about it... it's VERY important.
Somebody else also killed someone with the brain of a senile 85 year old...
Verne never faced any charges and remained "in care", as would that other person had he lived... Verne also famously was the guy who offered Sheikybaby money to break Hogan's leg...so not the nicest guy in the world when pissed off... but it was a genuinely tragic situation, a guy who physically could still shoot but who didn't have control to know he wasn't in a shoot. It's hearbreaking that it happened, but it did, just as it did for Chris Benoit.
Rightly or wrongly, WWE is in a tough spot. They can't "demonise" Benoit and eulogise Gagne without courting a lot of controversy as basically, the same thing happened in both cases. A guy not in control for medical reasons killed (allegedly with wrestling moves), one a "legend" and one "future legend", the only difference is one was already in a home, the second would have been put in one or a psych ward for life. Neither would have seen prison and nor should they have.
So I think we get a brief video package (as he is a HOF'er) and that's it, never mentioned again. Not what Verne deserves, but likewise, Benoit also deserves better than he gets, but WWE markets to kids so... If Trips was worried about what people google about Chyna, what happens tonight when they look up Verne? Food for thought but so sad because it shouldn't matter when it comes to their careers... inevitably it will though, especially if WWE overdose on AWA/Verne tributes, which may be richly deserved... but so would Benoit's be for his career less 3 days.
RIP Verne, without you we never get Mr. Perfect, Road Warriors, The Model, The Rockers, HBK or Hogan...

It will receive a mention, some individual comments from wrestlers and announcers, but I'll be surprised if it gets 10 seconds of airtime on Raw or Smackdown. Gagne was a legendary wrestler and promoter from the 40s onward, but he also became the poster child of out of touch, intransigent authority: cronyism, nepotism, and a blind eye to the fact wrestling was moving away from smoky halls where people watched two 40 something guys sit in a headlock for 45 minutes to faster paced matches with colorful characters where the wrestling was secondary.
Like many promoters he didn't see the danger in McMahon's "expansion" into their territories and underestimated the rock style or Sat Morning cartoon style of marketing action figures, posters, etc that McMahon revolutionized in the industry. It's unfair to limit him to "smoky halls where people watched two 40 something guys sit in a headlock for 45 minutes".
Meanwhile, in terms of match quality, 1980s WWE was VERY SLOW, and VERY LIMITED, matches rarely displayed anything outside the most basic of power moves and relied heavily on headlocks, tests of strength, bear hugs, and other time killing spots to stretch time frames into the ten minute realm with such limited arsenals of holds & moves. More talented wrestlers in WWE were often held back in the ring so as not to overshadow Hogan and the growing collection of muscled up or overweight monster types who populated the roster.
You can argue that Match Quality during this time was much higher in the NWA but many NWA stars either started or spent significant time learning from and working for Gagne, including LOD & Flair.
Some of Hulk Hogans best matches were against Nick Bockwinkle in the AWA, comparable if not better than any of his work with Flair & Savage later which is often considered his best in ring product. Likewise, Curt Henning had two of his all time best matches in the AWA against Bockwinkle, and The Rockers were trained and learned the craft directly from Gagne.
It's fair to say that... the AWA however always had that "legit" air to it that the NWA and WWE didn't focus on, he didn't make Hogan his champ and kept it on Bockwinkel an inordinate amount of time when other talents could have done more for the company.
To me the biggest proof that Verne had "lost his way" was that almost to a man, his champions never actually made more than the WWF mid-card, yet guys he didn't put the belt on like Hogan, Slaughter, Vader and even Sheik could get to that level in New York or the NWA...
The only guy who he put the belt on and had that success elsewhere was Stan Hansen who never came back to the US full time.
A few chances taken on different talents and the whole history of the business changes...
Look back at the title history of the AWA title in the early 80s and it proves my point.
1980 - 46 year old Nick Bockwinkel held the title for 5 years before dropping it to the owner, Verne Gagne, who was 54 years old.
1982 - 39 year old Otto Wanz, also a promoter of a European wrestling promotion, beats 48 year old Bockwinkel and drops it back a little over a month later. This happened AFTER Gagne decides to not put the belt on Hogan, who had a decision reversed on him a few months earlier.
1984 - Jumbo Tsuruta finally wins over now 50 year old Bockwinkel. Other members of the roster at that time: Dick the Bruiser (55 years old), Crusher (58 years old), Baron Von Raschke (44 years old)...all these guys were considered top contenders at that point!
Even Rick Martel and Curt Hennig, two very talented guys, were reactions to the criticisms of the cronyism and overuse of Bockwinkel at the time, but in the meantime, lots of guys had already bailed on the AWA by this point. He finally gave the belt to 40 year old Jerry Lawler, but the promotion's demise was all but written on the wall by this point.
Gagne managed to alienate or lose many stars during the early and late 80s, so I have to stand by my assessment of his promotional ability. He wasn't alone, obviously, but he had more ammo available than most to have changed history had he not been so myopic.
I don't think it is fair to use the term myopic, that would imply that he never listened at all or only went for old guys or his friends... , indeed a lot of talents did rise through him. That Martel and Hennig could get that belt is something Vince Jr or Sr. would never have done or did do...
Of the era only really the NWA belt changed hands in what you'd call a "suitable way", with good length reigns but then a change to prevent staleness. Backlund had it for 7 years, then Sheik a month, then Hogan for 4 of the next 6 years... so Vince wasn't doing much better if that's being myopic.
The problem Verne had was two-fold, he spent far too much time trying to groom his own son to be something special, rather than focusing on other talent he had who he could have made big money with. The sheer number of guys who he trained in the 70's alone who went on elsewhere is staggering, yet Greg was still getting the good spots. He could have kept Flair... Jim Brunzell is a classic example of someone who could have done a lot with a good push for the AWA, especially with the title around the late 70's/early 80's, making them look younger, more exciting but Greg was getting that spot as the "top young guy" on nepotism... The Road Warriors are another classic case, they could have dominated and sold out for years given the right push... but he was happy to let them walk and that really was the think he never recovered from in terms of credibility... it's one thing letting Hogan go, then finding gold again in a tag team like the Warriors and letting them go, then with Hennig, Vader... he didn't learn or rather decided not to change.
Verne ultimately was one dimensional, not a terrible promoter by any stretch, but business and creatively wise he couldn't seem to grasp that not only the times were changing but that tastes of his own fans were. To not push either Hogan OR Ventura to the title is crazy looking back, Jesse was not "great" in the ring, but he'd have been a major draw for a face to knock down rather than the classic Bockwinkel/Stanley Blackburn reversal finish repeated ad-nausem as he got.
It's hard to be overly critical of the guy, he made enough in his life and did give a lot of guys their starts, but there really COULD have been 3 big nationals... and the whole outcome makes me glad Vince and Bruno fell out... could you imagine the WWF had it been in Bruno's preferred image, or Backlund's "only credible athletes" or if Fritz had managed to take WCCW truly national and ramming his kids down everyone's throat. Verne wasn't the only one guilty of it, but he's the one for whom it tanked his business the most.

Flair (who was no where near World Title level at this early stage of his career) told the story in his book about Verne insisting that if he left the AWA to work elsewhere Verne was entitled to a percentage of his income. After discussing the matter with Wahoo McDaniel, who was recruiting Flair to join the NWA, Flair decided he wouldn't give Verne the "commission" but would give him some money in return for training him and breaking him into the business. After becoming NWA Champ, Flair, now a big name featured weekly on TBS, would make appearances in his off time through out the year on AWA Cards to help draw for Verne, he wasn't required to but did it out of gratitude. That stopped around 1986 when Crockett started restricting Flair's non NWA appearances.
As for Bockwinkle, I think the belt kept coming back to him because he was a legit big name and loyal to the company .... plus he could get younger stars over, building for the future. The problem was stars like Martel & Henning left.
There is no doubt that Verne had "money issues" regarding pay but nonetheless he's a legend in the business and made many significant contributions and helped build some of the biggest stars of all time.

Annuals are plants that bloom one season.
Most annuals produce an abundance of flowers over the growing season.
Try planting one variety with a variation in color.
Then plant another variety with the same variation in color.
Nothing sparkles up a garden more than Butterflys and Humming birds
who love bright colors like red and orange and yellow.

After several days of deliberation, Washington quarterback Jake Locker (rib) was finally cleared to play Tuesday. Coach Rick Neuhesiel said he wasn't ever buying Locker sitting out.
"It's the biggest joke of all time," Neuheisel said. "The man's playing. It's just the way it is."
The Bruins have prepared accordingly for a spirited effort from Locker, who will be making his final start of his college career in front of the home crowd.
"We're talking about an extremely experienced and well-oiled machine," safety Tony Dye said. "He's worth all the hype. He's an amazing leader. He carries his team. You can see it in film."
UCLA also has seen, on film and in person, how Locker can keep plays alive with his legs. The Bruins have struggled against dual-threat quarterbacks this season (i.e. Oregon's Darron Thomas, Arizona's Matt Scott, Stanford's Andrew Luck).
"He can do it all," safety Rahim Moore said. "He probably can hit if you put him on defense. He's that type of athlete."

Personally, I don't waste my time with Toby's products....
I've tried several of them, and honestly they SUCK....
Sorry Toby, but the truth needs to be known sometimes....
My T.H.E. front fender busted like it was made of glass after about 6 rides.
Congrats to THE for making the most impossible name to search on Google.
You have to know that it stands for "Toby Henderson Enterprises" to find the website.
Rides: 06 Demo8 II, Yeti DJ
Pin it baby!
Don't google "the".
Had one of his front fenders for 4 years no issues. I did crack my THE rear fender, but to be fair I slid into a tree at 25km/h at -15C. Not ideal operating conditions for plastic.
The thicker fenders made of more fibrous plastic are probably more durable, but they are also heavier, for those who worry about such things.
Yeah it is impossible to find their website. Thanks everyone.
I am looking for a front downhill looking fender. Does anyone know where I can get one?
Guess what else I did? I have reflective tape on every 3rd or 4th spoke pair on my rims. I'll probably post a pic on the commuter sub-forum when I have a chance.Originally Posted by Raiyn

Then you'll like my next step. I've discovered reflective spray paint (made by Krylon and Rustoleum). It's a semi transparent paint that I plan on experimenting with it over the weekend on a section of painted steel to see how it looks. If it's successfull I'll be using it instead of some of the reflective tape currently on my commuter. I'll be trying single vs. multiple coats on prepared (wet sanded with 400 grit) and unprepared surfaces. If I'm really feeling cocky I'll even try my hand at masking out some small designs.Originally Posted by santiago
I'm doing this largely because it's obvious that reflective surfaces are a good thing, but having bright orange reflective tape all over the frame can look well DORKY.
Why not just run some neon on your down tube?

Te gusta huevos verdes y hamon? My wife thinks it's sexy when I speak Spanish to her...
So I've put the initial coats of Rustoleum's Reflective spray paint on my test piece tonight. So far I have 4 good coats on it and I'm starting to see a bit of reflectivity on the black painted steel used for the test. Of course I will need to wait for the paint to dry completely before I can have an accurate idea of how well it works.
Yes there's a couple reasons I chose a black surface for the test
- I wanted to see what the actual paint would do with no help from the background material
- My commuter is black and I wanted to go for more of a "stealth" look during the day with the benefits of a reflective surface at night.
If the results are unsatisfactory I'll test it on a lighter surface and if it's still not up to snuff Rustoleum has a nifty little satisfaction guarentee. If it comes to that I'll test the Krylon version
If you need stealth reflective tape, the eBay seller I bought my reflective tape from sells a black one. I bought the silve rone as it's rated as a higher reflector but I'm sure the black one would work fine:Originally Posted by Raiyn
First Class Jerk
Well the results were disappointing at best. The best way I could describe it is as being similar to the body glitter used by strippers. Yeah there's a bit of sparkle, but not the "stop sign" reflectivity I had hoped for and it's not such a turn on on a chunk of steelOriginally Posted by santiago
What I had hoped for was this sort of effect.
I'm sure there are paint products on the market that will accomplish this task, but I'm not dropping the coin for them.
I've known about the black reflective tape for about ten years now and I've got a source for it already. (Thanks for the link though ) The company I'm going through even has a perfect match for the blue on my girlfriend's bike.
It's a shame too I had planned on masking off some "strobe stripes" for fun on my fork. Now I get to play games with cutting the tape Oh well

a1 Anthropology, George Mason University
Despite official narratives of a relatively smooth transition, of the merging of "those things which belong together," German unification and the formation of a new German state has been an uneven project filled with friction and animosity. While the West German government celebrated the "victory" of unification, and stated that all East Germans wanted unification, one group of East Germans did not look forward to the dissolution of the GDR: members of the East German military, the Nationale Volksarmee (National People's Army, or NVA). Disbanded immediately upon unification, the overwhelming majority of NVA officers were left unemployed overnight, stripped of their status as officers and portrayed by the West Germans as the "losers" of the Cold War. For these men, unification was not a joyous, desired event; rather, it represented the end of their careers, security, status, and the state they had sworn to defend. As such, the "fall" into democracy for these men was from the start fraught with uncertainty, disappointment, anomie, and a profound sense of loss.

Julius Tennon is the man of Viola Davis' dreams! At the Cinema Society and Dior Beauty screening of "Beautiful Creatures" in New York on Feb. 11, the 47-year-old actress revealed how the actor and former college football player came into her life.
"I was the loneliest woman in the world, and someone said, 'You should just pray for a husband," Davis told the New York Post's Page Six of life as a single woman in the early 2000s. Taking her friend's advice, Davis added, "I said I wanted a big black man from the South who looked like a football player, who already had children, who maybe had been married before. Three and a half weeks later, I met my husband."
PHOTOS: Stars and their soul mates
The pair shared a scene on the television show "City of Angels." "He was the anesthesiologist, Dr. Holly, and I was Nurse Lannett," Davis told Us Weekly. "We were passing blood in a scene. He knew how lonely I was. I was out in L.A. and I hated it and he said, 'I'll show you around Los Angeles. I'll show you around the Santa Monica pier.'"
The couple will celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary on June 23. "We've been together thirteen years, and from the first day, it was magic," Davis gushed. Tennon certainly agrees, telling Us, "She's the sweetest woman. It's so great to see her be all of who she is. That's what I love about her."
PHOTOS: Viola Davis' style transformation
Tennon, who has two sons from previous relationships, also praised "The Help" star for being a "great mom" to their 2-year-old daughter, Genesis, whom they adopted in October 2011. "Sometimes she doesn't think she is, but she's wonderful," he gushed. "Nobody's perfect, and I raised two kids by myself before I met my wife. I was a single father with two children for 17 years, and my wife is doing an amazing job."
PHOTOS: Hollywood's most romantic couples, past and present
Motherhood is more fulfilling than Davis ever imagined. "Everything falls into place," the star told Us. "My whole purpose in life has changed now, and that's really hard for an actor. Before that it was about me. Now it's gone."

(IID approves an emergency proclamation)….And, they say the emergency continues.
The proclamation is for damages suffered in the Coachella Valley. On August 6th a microburst, with winds of up to 120 miles per hour. The winds took out 7 Imperial Irrigation District substations, 130 poles, the 92 kv K-line and the L line. Power was restored to almost all the residents on Sunday, but replacing the K-line and L-line could take longer. The lines are transmission lines. The District says the damages have cost $13.4 million, and that is number will be going up. The proclamation approved by the IID Directors will be taken to Riverside for their approval. Once that happens, it will go to the state for reimbursements. Energy Department manager Carl Stills said the emergency conditions continue in that area.

For more than two hours Saturday night, the Broncos displayed their football future while celebrating their football past.
On the field, in front of 20,782 fans at Invesco Field at Mile High, were first-round draft picks Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas, connecting on a 24-yard touchdown play, then celebrating with a mid-air chest bump.
Only an hour later, as players circled the stadium to sign autographs for fans, Floyd Little, the first great Bronco, appeared on the Jumbo- Tron as the team played Little's speech from Saturday's Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
"I think it's great for us to come down here and play in an atmosphere like this," coach Josh McDan- iels said. "I think the guys who hadn't done it before start to understand what Denver's all about and how much this city loves this football team, and we're all blessed to be able to coach and play for it."
This was a night, mostly, to showcase the offense.
Though Kyle Orton remains the clear No. 1 quarterback, McDaniels evenly divvied up the work among Orton, Brady Quinn and Tebow, allowing each quarterback the chance to show off for the largest crowd ever to watch a Broncos practice.
Orton's performance at Saturday's open practice could not have been more different from what it was at the open session at Invesco a year ago. Then, he threw multiple interceptions and was booed. Loudly.
Saturday, Orton was composed and confident, and many of his throws were impressive, including touchdown passes to Jabar Gaffney and Eddie Royal. But that should be no surprise to anyone who has watched the first week of camp and has seen Orton further distance himself from Quinn and Tebow.
"Kyle did some really good things tonight," McDaniels said.
Quinn tossed a TD pass to Thomas, and Tebow — receiving significantly more passing reps than he did earlier in the week — threw for one touchdown and ran for another in what McDaniels called "move-the- ball" drills. None of the quarterbacks threw an interception.
At Dove Valley practices, Tebow rarely gets the chance to take more than two plays in a row. Saturday, he was allowed to engineer an entire drive, at times getting to work with the team's top receivers and tight ends.
"To go out there and play in the stadium for the first time was really exciting, and to be able to have a drive and try to run the offense was fun," Tebow said.
All Things Broncos blog
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and minutiae on this blog devoted to the Denver Broncos.
Tebow figures to get plenty more live action Aug. 15 in the team's first preseason game at Cincinnati. Orton is not expected to play much beyond the first quarter.
"I feel good about the fact that they're progressing," McDaniels said of his trio of quarterbacks. "They're all at different stages of their development, but it is good that they can come out and have a practice that they can feel good about too."
Tebow, who looked more like a friar than a magazine cover model thanks to the haircut given to him Saturday afternoon by veteran players, was the most in-demand player in the postpractice autograph circuit. Two Broncos staff members, including the team's head of security, followed behind him as he deliberately and patiently met fans. Eventually, Tebow had to be escorted from the field, though a handful of other players remained with the fans until nearly 9 p.m.
"I loved being out there," Tebow said.

QB watch
Orton shines
Kyle Orton: Moved in the pocket well and hit a crossing route to Jabar Gaffney to go with a quality throw in traffic for a touchdown to Gaffney.
Brady Quinn: Long ball to Brandon Lloyd deep down the middle — a little underthrown, but still a big play.
Tim Tebow: Had nice rapport with rookie Demaryius Thomas during team drills.

So I think I got the Xenium Ice installed correctly. When I start it up, I get the Xenium menu. I want to load the EvolutionX dashboard, but I can't seem to load ANYTHING. I even upgraded the DVD drive to the Samsung SD-616T. I guess I'm not sure what to do from here. I can't load new bioses, can't load EvoX. I go into "recovery" and it always goes into HALT and the power LED around the eject button goes to Red. Am I supposed to upgrade the BIOS first before trying to load EvoX? If so, how? I've followed the tutorials and burnt a DVD+RW, CD+RW, & CDR. Nothing "boots" like it says it should in the tutorials. Please Help!

I haven't done either. I installed the chip. That is as far as I've gotten. I can't get any boot disk to work. I put the CD in and it just goes straight to the Xenium menu. So I try to hit "recovery" and then it "halts" with the RED LED. I've even tried switching the jumper back.
Posted 18 August 2004 - 01:49 PM
Uhh well thats cause xenium os doesnt boot anything cause that would make it an illegal bios. You must goto launch menu and add a bios as in flash a bios to it.
Posted 18 August 2004 - 02:04 PM
Why do people choose to do it the hard way. Xenium Ice HAS a built FTP server IN the OS. NO NEED to burn cds. GO to your network settings and set it up with your network then hit refresh network. THen FTP into your xbox. After you have DLED Evox build from "the usual places" go into its bios filder and take the evoxm7.bin copy it and rename it to bios.bin and put it into the E folder of your xbox. Then take all the evox files and folders and put them in the E drive of xbox. Now go on the OS screen and hit launch new item and select flash and go to the bios foler and hit EvoxM7.bin. Xbox will do funky things. Then Restart the xbox and hit launch menu then hit what ever you named the flash. THat easy. need anything else just PM me
Posted 18 August 2004 - 02:19 PM
Ok...still trying to flash the bios. I added the launch item for it and ran it, but almost immediately is says it to "Please insert CD". What CD do I put in there? I tried putting the CD I burnt with the bios (ozxBios Cromwell 2.12 Dev), and nthing happens.
Posted 18 August 2004 - 02:49 PM
You really need to read some of the tutorials, You need some "other" Bios files, get them from #xbins irc channel, The cromwell bios is legal and therefore pretty useless unless you want to boot to linux, and i would guess you dont

Williams continued their impressive build up to the new season with another positive day of trouble-free running on Friday in Bahrain.
Felipe Massa ended his first full day back in the FW36 since the opening day of the second test in fifth fastest, as he racked up more crucial mileage on the team's new car, adding 103 laps to the 128 laps completed on Thursday by his team-mate Valtteri Bottas.
"I think it was another important day for us," said Felipe Massa. "We are starting to understand the car a lot more.
"It was really my first full day driving, after only getting half a day last week, so I'm still looking forward to understanding more tomorrow and doing everything we can do to be as prepared as possible for the first race.
"I am happy with how we are working as a team and tomorrow will be another important day."
Williams' Chief Test & Support Engineer Rod Nelson added: "We ran a similar programme today as yesterday. Felipe started the morning doing some mechanical and aero tests, before going on to some longer runs in the afternoon. We then finished with some performance runs this evening looking at some new systems on the car.
"It was nice to have a relatively trouble-free day with Felipe as he hasn't had the best of winter testing up to now, so it's good to see him with a smile on his face.
"We are now looking forward to concentrating on pushing the car for more performance over the final two days."

By Justin BoronClayton County is moving forward with the issuance of additional bonds for a hotel even though it came close to defaulting on $26 million worth of bonds originally taken out for the Gateway Village development project. After reserve funds for bond payments dried up, the Board of Commissioners made an emergency decision recently to replenish the account with $892,000, so payments could be made on existing bonds, said Clark Stevens, the county chief of staff. The vote was the closest the county has come to defaulting on the project, he said. While the commission approved the measure, saving the county from damage to its bond rating, some commission members raised concerns about the project's oversight. Commissioner Charley Griswell and Commissioner Wole Ralph recused themselves from the special-called vote. Ralph said he did not want to vote on a measure that could potentially leave taxpayers to pay back bonds in a failed development. If the venture does not pan out, the county would have taken out almost $60 million in bonds with little alternative but to raise taxes. "This is a project that the chairman really is going to have to get involved in," Ralph said. Commissioner Virginia Gray, Commissioner Carl Rhodenizer, and County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell voted for the measure. Bell said the current commission inherited the circumstances from the previous administration, which had issued a series of bonds in 1999 to purchase the land for the Gateway Project. While development has moved forward with the construction of the state and federal archives, other real estate deals have gone awry. Most recently, the U.S Postal Service backed way from its intent to buy property for a post office location, delaying the development until 2006, Stevens said. If the purchase had occurred, the county would have had sufficient funds to make the bond payment. The future of the project hangs on the success of the planned hotel, which will be constructed with the still pending $28 million in bonds, said Emory Brock, the county director of economic development. The money generated from the hotel would be used to pay back the bonds, he said. Brock said the near-default was not a sign of the area's waning real estate market, calling it " a minor little bump in the road." The risk of the hotel venture had been discussed in 2003 when commissioners first raised concerns. Having taken out millions of dollars in bonds, commissioners worried the county would be out on a limb if the hotel did not run at a 65 percent capacity. But Brock, who has been a strong proponent of the project, said the hotel's failure was unlikely. The state and federal archives already have created a substantial amount of value in the area, he said. Brock also said Gateway's future fomented Wal-Mart's urge to expand its operation in Morrow by building a Supercenter. The hotel would exist in a unique market from any other hotel in the county, he said. Supported by conferences and tourism created by the archives and the expanding Clayton College & State University, Brock said the hotel would definitely succeed.

It is the all-too-common bifurcations like this within healthcare IT that make the rich coding provided by ICD-10 so important, not just for satisfying the demands of payers who want ever more billing detail, but to exchange anatomically precise clinical data between different types of hospitals in the same system.
Korzdorfer plans to deploy ICD-10 in both systems at the same time. The work starts with an extensive evaluation of the skill levels of staff in areas of pharmacology, physiology, anatomy, and basic terminology. The skill set ranges from coders with one or two years' experience to some who have coded for more than 30 years, she says.
The education component seems like the biggest piece of ICD-10 to me. Hospitals might have some staff who are familiar with the cardiovascular system, but need further help mastering the integumentary system. Korzdorfer says it will take this whole year to get staff the kind of supplemental education needed to prepare for ICD-10.
Like so many others I've spoken with, Korzdorfer says preparation is proceeding as if the original 2013 go-live with ICD-10 were still the case, rather than the 2014 date recently formalized by CMS. But that sound you hear is the feet still being dragged at too many provider institutions.

A woman who was visiting a liturgical service kept punctuating the pastor's sermon with "Praise the Lord!" Another woman finally turned around and said, "Excuse me, but we don't praise the Lord in the Lutheran church."
A man down the pew corrected her. "Yes we do; it's on page 19."
The conflict between form and freedom is not new, and we have both sides in our congregation. Some wish we would throw out the liturgy so we could be free to "move with the Spirit." Others are tired of innovations and want to return to the good ol' days when they knew what was happening and could follow the bulletin play by play.
Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? Yes! Order and ardor can be happily wed. Truth is canonized but not style. The issue is not structure or freedom, but Spirit. God has no preference for formless spiritualism or Spiritless formalism—he rejects both. Spontaneity offers no innate advantage over liturgy. Liberty is where the Spirit is, not where the preacher has thrown away his notes.
Protestants have traditionally been better workers than worshipers. Pastors may spend fifteen hours on sermon preparation and fifteen minutes throwing the service together.
God wants worshipers above anything else. Jesus told the Samaritan woman, "He seeketh such to worship him." Karl Barth wrote, "Christian worship is the most momentous, the most urgent, the most glorious action that can take place in human life." If we agree, then it must not be "the things we do before we get to the important stuff."
One glimpse into heaven reveals that it is of eternal significance. The whole Book of Leviticus was written to teach a nation how to worship, an acknowledgment that at the center of life is the worship of God.
Like other Christian ...
