The Strawberry Roan
Marty Robbins
Play with an alternating base
Intro: D
I was hangin' 'round town, just spendin' my time
Out of a job, not earnin' a dime
A feller steps up and he said, "I suppose
You're a bronc fighter from looks of your clothes."
"You figures me right, I'm a good one." I claim
"Do you happen to have any bad ones to tame?"
Said "He's got one, a bad one to buck
At throwin' good riders, he's had lots of luck."
I gets all het up and I ask what he pays
To ride this old nag for a couple of days
He offered me ten; I said, "I'm your man,
A bronc never lived that I couldn't span."
He said: "Get your saddle, I'll give you a chance"
In his buckboard we hopped and he drives to the ranch
I stayed 'til mornin' and right after chuck
I stepped out to see if this outlaw can buck.
Down in the horse corral standin' alone
Is an old Caballo, a Strawberry Roan
His legs are all spavined, he's got pigeon toes
Little pig eyes and a big Roman nose
Little pin ears that touched at the tip
A big 44 brand was on his left hip
U-necked and old, with a long, lower jaw
I could see with one eye, he's a regular outlaw.
I gets the blinds on 'im and it sure is a fright
Next comes the saddle and I screws it down tight
Then I steps on 'im and I raises the blinds
Get outta the way boys, he's gonna unwind
He sure is a frog-walker, he heaves a big sigh
He only lacks wings, for to be on the fly
He turns his old belly right up to the sun
He sure is a sun-fishin', son-of-a-gun.
He's about the worst bucker I've seen on the range
He'll turn on a Nickel and give you some change
He hits on all fours and goes up on high
Leaves me a spinnin' up there in the sky
I turns over twice and I comes back to earth
I lights in a cussin' the day of his birth
I know there are ponies that I cannot ride
There's some of them left, they haven't all died.
I'll bet all my money, the man ain't alive
That'll stay with Old Strawberry
When he makes his high dive.

|McAfee, Inc.
Stonesoft Corporation was a public company that developed and sold network security solutions based in Helsinki, Finland. It was publicly owned until 2013 when it was acquired by Intel's subsidiary McAfee.[4]
Stonesoft does business globally, with a regional headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, and sales offices throughout Europe, the Middle East, and China.
In July, 2013 McAfee, a part of Intel Security, completed a tender offer to acquire all Stonesoft products and technologies. Stonesoft became a part of the McAfee Network Security Business Unit. Stonesoft firewall products were renamed McAfee Next Generation Firewall.
Stonesoft started as a systems integrator in the Nordic regions of Europe. In 1994 it introduced StoneBeat, a technology for creating a high availability pair of firewalls in an active-passive configuration. In 1999, the company extended StoneBeat with a patented load balancing clustering technology,[5] launching StoneBeat FullCluster. It was one of the first technologies certified in Check Point's OPSEC program.[6]
In 2001, Stonesoft expanded its product set into the firewall/VPN space, becoming a direct competitor to Check Point. The StoneGate Firewall/VPN was launched on March 19, 2001. In January 2003, the company introduced the first virtual firewall/VPN solution, for IBM mainframes.[7]
In 2010, the company released information via CERT-FI[8] on Advanced Evasion technique (AETs) that met with skepticism in the community. Further AETs were released in 2011, and eventually verified by independent labs and researchers.[9][10][11]
In 2012 "Stonesoft" replaced the "StoneGate" product name. From now on, Stonesoft is used both as the company and product name.
Stonesoft Corporation's product sales for Q3 2012 were circa 5.6 million euros. The product sales grew by approximately 18%. The Q3 net sales were approximately 9.2–9.3 million euros, which equals a growth by14-16%. The growth was lower than expected.[12]
Its product portfolio includes firewall/VPN devices, IPS (intrusion detection and prevention systems), and SSL VPN systems,[13] each available as hardware appliances, software, and VMware-certified virtual appliances.[14]
Each of the components, as well as third-party devices, can be managed from the Stonesoft Management Center.[15] The product portfolio differentiates through unique clustering and load balancing technologies based on the company's older StoneBeat technology, originally developed for Check Point FireWall-1.
Stonesoft's current product portfolio can be divided into five major categories:[13]
- Stonesoft Firewall/VPN
- Stonesoft IDS/IPS
- Stonesoft SSL VPN
- Stonesoft Management Center (SMC)
- Stonesoft Virtualization Solutions
The Stonesoft Firewall/VPN has placed in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Network Firewalls for several years, and is currently placed in the niche quadrant.[16] Gartner notes that Stonesoft "serves a set of placements well – usually, high availability is key or when the leaders are otherwise not welcome".[16] The Stonesoft firewall/VPN is regarded for its "robust performance and feature set relative to company resources, and it has a loyal customer base".[16]
The Stonesoft IPS has also placed in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Network Intrusion Prevention, currently in the "visionaries" quadrant.[17] It is also certified by ICSA Labs Network Intrusion Prevention and Detection category, and is one of only four vendors in the consortium to achieve that certification.[18] Stonesoft has also received favorable reviews from NSS Labs for both the next generation firewall capability (2012) and the intrusion detection and prevention system.[19][20]
In 2008, the Helsinki Court of Appeal issued a decision in a case brought against Stonesoft and several members of its management team. The court "held that two members of the company's board of directors and a former CEO through gross negligence had failed to give a profit warning in due time".[21] The issue at hand was discrepancies between the profitability forecasted in the company's year 2000 interim reports and the actual state of the company at that time. The reports indicated the company was sound and profitable, yet "a profit warning should in fact have been issued".[21] The District Court of Helsinki had originally dismissed the claims in a decision on November 15, 2006.[22]
Advanced Evasion Techniques[edit]
In 2010 Stonesoft informed the public about a new evasion technique that can bypass security defences. Stonesoft defines the Advanced Evasion Techniques (AETs) as "virtually limitless in quantity and unrecognizable by conventional detection methods. They can work on all levels of the TCP/IP stack and work across many protocols or protocol combinations." [11]
According to Max Nyman, Stonesoft Corporation's Senior Marketing Manager, AETs can deliver malicious code without detection and without leaving trace.[23]
On July 23, 2012 Stonesoft released a free tool that enables organisations to test their network security.[24]

Oedipal themes in Gisu circumcision 1
How should an anthropologist use psychoanalysis? What can it add to our accounts? My starting position here is that it provides a hermeneutic which invites us to reinterrogate our data in order to both challenge and augment the interpretations already made on the basis of more standard forms of exegesis. In the Durkheimian tradition within which I have broadly worked, cultural values are taken to be relatively straightforwardly depicted in cultural symbolism. By contrast, psychoanalysis tells us that the symbolic process is complex, bedevilled by the forces of repression, whereby the manifest becomes a mask or, at best, a distorting mirror to psychic reality. If custom may be taken as symbolic in the psychoanalytic sense, speaking to unconscious fantasy and process, then it has the capacity to turn our accepted interpretative canons upside-down. In so doing, it does not, of course, invalidate the cultural interpretation. Devereux's postulate of 'complementarity' is useful here, though it is today less easy to see, as he did, that the coming together of the two perspectives will give a determinate understanding in either.
For many of us our first fieldwork proves the most formative experience of our lives and sets the agenda for much of what we do later. For me, it established a long-lasting source of intrigue with the topic of male circumcision. For the Gisu of Uganda, circumcision presents itself as a particularly severe ordeal which boys are required to undergo roughly between the ages of 17 and 25 in order to validate their claims to manhood. In previous writings, I have explored it from the point of view of what I called their 'vernacular psychology', how the Gisu see it as actually creating men, an identity forged in the ritual process (1982, 1989). In another paper (1986), I tried to trace the concordances of their view of this process with its transformational potential and western psychological theories, drawn largely from behaviourist psychology. In neither did I consider psychoanalysis. This is the challenge which I now take up and it is one which allows me to probe new areas, going beneath the overt level of culturally

ONS estimates close to 1.4 million on zero-hours contracts
A report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has estimated that there are 1.4 million UK workers employed on contracts that do not guarantee minimum hours. The ONS said that most of the contracts it identified were zero-hours, under which people are not guaranteed work from one week to the next. Previously, the ONS had estimated that were 582,935 workers employed on such contracts. This increased estimate is based on a survey of 5,000 employers. The new figure concurs with a recent estimate from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development that had estimated one million people, or 3.1 per cent of the workforce, were on such contracts.
According to the research, almost half of all firms in tourism, catering and food sectors use 'non-guaranteed-hours contracts', while around 13 per cent of UK firms use zero-hours contracts, including one in five health and social-work businesses. Workers under 25 years of age and those over 65 were more likely to be employed on a zero-hours basis. Two thirds of those counted worked part time. Female employees are thought to make up 55 per cent of the total with zero-hours contracts…

need suggestions for Glasgow, etc
We are planning on a trip to Glasgow in September. On the way or as a daytrip we want to see Ailsa Craig and we will also take the train for a daytrip to Edinburgh (we've been before and love it). I'd like suggestions for a place to stay in Glasgow or other tips. We will stay several days and when we can we like to do self catering - it makes it so easy to do laundry at night. We want to be near a good chip shop or other places to get a quick meal and very close to public transport. We need to be centrally located so that we don't spend to much time or energy just getting to and from our rooms. RS doesn't have much good to say about Glasgow or southern Scotland but Glasgow is said to have some great art and many gardens. We haven't decided yet if we will take the train, fly or motor from London to Glasgow. At some point we will rent a car and plan to spend a few days in some quieter town in either Scotland or England but haven't decided where and would like suggestions. We love great architecture, art and natural history museums, and good (but inexpensive)British cuisine, especially the cheese. We like browsing small shops but not so much the expensive stores.

Ahead of the game— Global
The sports writer has a tough job. Crafting a story that's more than mere results reporting takes toil – especially when sports players are often famously ineloquent. And then there are the deadlines.

There is no such thing as a bad person, just bad choices....
I started having issues around 20wks with this pg (nothing ever before), after I had him it got so bad that even a liquid diet didnt work, I still had attacks. I went to the ER got sent home after my attack since I was having it taken out the next week, went back in the next day and then they couldnt take it out because I ended up getting prancreatitis ... had to wait 3 days with no eating or drinking till they could finally take it out ...
Now I dont have any issues unless I eat too much sugar ... then I end up with the runs ... of course I would end up with that one side effect of not having a gallbladder ... LOL ... but hell I would take that ANY day over having another attack ...

A number of panel sessions received the highest ratings from conference attendees. "One panel featured million dollar producers sharing their sales and marketing secrets," Slome notes. "A second panel featured seven long term care insurance industry thought leaders who each had 20 or more years of experience in the industry and shared their outlook for future changes and growth."

First trimester pregnancy symptoms are always so varied among different women, both emotionally and physically thanks to different hormonal changes.
Even though your baby bump may not be visible to anybody else, it certainly makes a huge difference in your lifestyle in the early stages.
There are many common first trimester pregnancy symptoms and signs, that can fade away as the pregnancy progresses.
Here are the most common symptoms reported by women;
Morning Sickness
Morning sickness is one of the most commonly reported symptoms during a first trimester pregnancy, probably due to the fact that your body is going through so many hormonal changes.
It can actually last all day, and can be very bad for some women. To help improve things you should drink plenty of water, and avoid fatty foods.
It goes without saying that you'll want to avoid anything that makes you feel sick by simply thinking about it or smelling it!
You can also try candied ginger or ginger tablets to help you feel better. If you can't keep anything down, including liquids, then it's vital that you consult a doctor.
Mood Swings
Most women will find their emotions fluctuating when they're pregnant. This is a combination of factors, from changing hormones to the increased responsibility and financial pressures to come.
If you're anxious about something in particular, such as labor, then get informed and ask questions. If you're generally feeling low, then try sleeping longer, eating healthier foods, taking a walk or simply talking it through with your partner.
Tender Breasts
One of the earliest first trimester pregnancy symptoms, even before missing a period, can be a feeling of tenderness in the breasts. They're simply preparing to produce milk for your baby, but this can be quite uncomfortable for you. Try wearing a supportive bra to ease discomfort.
Increased Urination
As the uterus starts to press on your bladder you may find that you need to urinate more often. This could be inconvenient, or even make it difficult to sleep as you wake up to urinate during the night.
To help prevent this, drink less in the evenings and try to reduce your caffeine intake. Always go when you feel the need, however, as this will help prevent a urinary tract infection.
Other Symptoms
Pregnancy symptoms aren't limited to those listed above – far from it! Other common symptoms include heartburn, a sore back, difficulty sleeping and headaches.
Every woman is different and you may experience very few symptoms, or less well-known symptoms such as bleeding gums, carpal tunnel, leg cramps, varicose veins and hemorrhoids. It isn't easy being pregnant!
Regular Visits to Health Care Provider
When you first discover that you're pregnant, it's important to visit your health care provider. They will go through a number of areas with you to help assess your health and to work out whether any medication is required for the baby and if any nutrition changes are required in your daily diet.
They will also give you some tips on taking care of your health, and schedule regular appointments with you throughout the pregnancy. You should let them know of any medical conditions in your family history or if you're concerned about any of your first trimester pregnancy symptoms in general.
Pregnancy can be the most wonderful time of your life, so try to enjoy the time as much as possible. Take good care of your health by regular exercising and taking high nutrition food!

Tight in the back and access isn't great
There's plenty of space in the front of the Juke. But rear headroom is a bit tight, and six-footers will find their knees touch the seat in front when they sit behind a similar-sized driver.
Small rear door openings also hurt practicality; they can make it quite hard to climb into the Juke, let alone fit child seats.
You get a reasonable amount of in-car storage, but the boot isn't big enough to take a large suitcase unless you fold the rear seats flat.
Limited adjustment and suspension is overly firm
The Juke has supportive front seats that hold you tightly in place. However, its steering wheel doesn't adjust for reach, so some drivers will find that they have to stretch for the wheel or else sit closer to the pedals than they ideally would.
The suspension further undermines comfort, letting potholes thump through the car and those inside it. In fact, even on roads that look relatively smooth, you can be jiggled around in a way that's quite unpleasant.
The petrol engines are all quiet enough. But the diesel produces lots of clatter and vibration, even under gentle acceleration.
Dashboard layout
Simple controls; plastics feel quite cheap
A painted centre console that was apparently inspired by a motorbike fuel tank runs between the driver and front passenger, while some superficially spiffy trim decorates the dashboard. Unfortunately, this isn't so nice to the touch, feeling cheap and plasticky.
At least the controls are all clearly labelled and simple enough to use.
Easy to drive
Rear visibility is restricted
You sit high in the Juke, which gives you a good view of the road ahead. Unfortunately, the rear side windows are small, so there are big over-the-shoulder blind spots that make changing lanes trickier than it should be.
Deciding which engine to choose could also be simpler, because Nissan offers the Juke with four 1.6-litre petrol engines.
The cheapest of these, which is called the 1.6 92, is best avoided because it feels frustratingly weak. And while the 1.6 117 engine is easier to live with, you still have to work it quite hard just to keep up with traffic.
Only the two most expensive 1.6s cure this problem, and they're also the only versions of the Juke that are available with four-wheel drive.
A 1.5-litre diesel engine that offers adequate performance completes the line-up. However, if you want an automatic gearbox, you have to go for one of the petrols.
Fun to drive
Less lean than you'd expect. Shame the steering is numb
Take one look at the Juke's tall body and you'd probably expect it to topple over at the first corner you come to. But in reality it stays quite flat and composed.
Grip is more of an issue; the front tyres quickly start to slide if you turn at speed. And the steering doesn't give you much warning that you're approaching the limits.
Current owners aren't especially happy
The Juke didn't do particularly well in the 2013 JD Power customer satisfaction survey, finishing 77th out of 116 cars. It was well beaten by the rival Mini Countryman, which came 49th, let alone the second-placed Skoda Yeti.
Nissan does give you a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty that's comparable with the warranties on the Mini and Skoda. But Hyundai, Kia, Toyota and Vauxhall all offer superior cover.
Fuel economy
Diesel is particularly good
The diesel Juke averages over 70mpg in Government tests, whereas the most efficient petrol version manages only 47.1mpg.
It's easier to get close to the official figure in the diesel, too, simply because you don't have to work it so hard. Just bear in mind that the diesel is also a lot more expensive to buy, so you have to cover a lot of miles before it starts to save you money.
Attractively priced and running costs should be reasonable
The Juke is priced a little higher than conventional small hatchbacks, such as the Ford Fiesta and VW Polo, but it's one of the cheapest cars with 4x4 styling that you can buy.
Running costs are also reasonable, and while you won't get a huge discount, the Juke should still be worth a big chunk of its original value if you decide to sell it on after a couple of years.
Not as good as many rivals, but still earned a five-star crash rating
Every Juke comes with six airbags and a stability control system that helps you stay on the road in slippery conditions, and this helped it earn a five-star rating when it was crash tested by car safety specialists Euro NCAP.
The Juke scored particularly well for child occupant protection, although it should be noted that many rivals performed better in the adult occupant and pedestrian protection tests.
Standard spec
Every version gets the essentials
Even the cheapest version of the Juke, the Visia, comes with alloy wheels, air-conditioning, front and rear electric windows and a socket that lets you connect your iPod to the car's stereo. However, you have to upgrade to the Acenta model if you want a USB socket, which allows you to charge your iPod on the move and control it via the stereo controls.
The Acenta also brings cruise control, a leather steering wheel and a sophisticated climate control system that maintains a set temperature in the car instead of simply blowing out cold air. Then n-tec versions add satellite-navigation,a reversing camera and sportier looks inside and out.
The one version we definitely wouldn't bother with is the range-topping Tekna because it makes the Juke too expensive.

|1.6 117 Acenta 2WD, list price £15,095
|Options you should add
|Metallic paint (£500) and rear parking sensors (£365)

In response to severe June storms that caused widespread flooding, the state of Minnesota is asking the federal government to add 30 counties and two tribal governments to the eight that have already been declared federal disaster areas.
Gov. Mark Dayton's proposed list includes Ramsey, Dakota, Hennepin, and Scott counties, among more than two dozen others. The Red Lake Band of Chippewa and Prairie Island Indian Community are also named in the request.
The eight counties that have already been declared major disaster areas are Chippewa, Freeborn, Jackson, Murray, Nobles, Pipestone, Renville and Rock counties. FEMA, the federal emergency management agency, will fund 75 percent of approved costs for aid to disaster-damaged facilities such as roads, bridges, government buildings and utilities.
The state will cover the other 25 percent. All counties in the state can also apply to a hazard mitigation grant program to reduce long-term risks to people and property from natural hazards.

Skulls are everywhere on the street today. Here are a collection of Street Art pieces to mark The Day of the Dead, the commemoration of people who have passed is observed nation-wide in Mexico every year at this time. Although it is not a national holiday, the strictly religious and cultural observance is revered and, depending on the region, it varies in the ways in which the holiday is marked.
The cultural aspect of this holiday has inspired many artists, filmmakers and poets. Here we have selected images of Street Art culled from our library to mark the Dia de los Muertos, focusing on the most prominent symbol used to represent this holiday: "Las Calaveras" or skulls.

Mexico's "Dia de los Muertos" or "Day of the Dead" takes place every year on November 2 to coincide with the Catholic holiday of "El Dia de los Santos" or "All Saints Day". The Day of the Dead is not the Mexican equivalent of Halloween. The Day of the Dead in Mexico is a celebration of Death and it does not carry any of the connotations of fear, fantasy and gore that Halloween does.
This religious and cultural holiday can be traced back 3000 years. Before the conquest of what's now modern Mexico in the pre-Hispanic era, the indigenous cultures celebrated death, rebirth and their ancestors by displaying human skulls as memento mori.

82nd Training Wing Public Affairs
5/14/2012 -
SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas
-- The 82nd Training Wing continued its string of inspection successes with an overall "Excellent" rating in the 2012 Air Education and Training Command Compliance Inspection.
Three of the four groups and 11 of the 17 squadrons graded received individual "Excellent" ratings, as did the wing commander's programs and the emergency management exercise.
The 82nd Medical Group and its squadrons were not graded as units during the compliance inspection, as they begin a Health Services Inspection today; however, wing-wide medical programs including medical contingency response, disease containment, suicide prevention and aerospace physiology were graded and all received "Excellent" ratings.
Seven functions were graded "Outstanding" across the wing:
· The 82nd Training Wing Safety Office
· The 82nd Training Wing Anti-Terrorism Office
· The 82nd Training Wing Self Inspection Program
· The 82nd Training Wing Public Affairs Office
· The 82nd Training Group Training Assessment Office
· The 367th Training Support Squadron Interactive Multimedia Instruction Flight
· The 82nd Force Support Squadron Manpower and Personnel Flight
The wing also received an overall "Excellent" rating in the Logistics Compliance Assessment Program inspection conducted simultaneously, primarily in the 82nd Logistics Readiness Squadron and the 982nd Maintenance Squadron. The wing received the same grade in the 2011 LCAP inspection and also performed exceptionally in the 2011 Community College of the Air Force and 2nd Air Force Standardization and Evaluation assessments.
The 982nd Training Group Field Training Scheduling System Development Team earned "Professional Team" recognition from the AETC Inspector General for creating "a field training scheduling system to maximize training effectiveness, opportunities and visibility at 47 field training detachments worldwide."
Team members were:
· Capt. Kipp Williams
· Capt. Thomas Bihansky
· Master Sgt. Loren Cheney
· Master Sgt. Arnold Munroe Jr.
· Master Sgt. Gideon Shipman
· Master Sgt. Michael Smith
· Tech. Sgt. Christian Fernandes
· Tech. Sgt. Kevin Perusich
· Staff Sgt. Mitchell Baker
· Staff Sgt. Stephen Teekell
· Airman 1st Class Tray Woodfork
About 200 people from across the wing - 5 percent of the permanent party force - were also identified as professional performers. Five of those were singled out to be coined by the inspection team:
· Senior Airman Gilbert Campos, 82nd Force Support Squadron
· Tech. Sgt. Anna Mejia, 82nd Training Wing Inspector General Office
· Master Sgt. Tommy Sexton, 364th Training Squadron
· Capt. Matthew Ramage, 82nd Aerospace Medicine Squadron
· Scott Morrow, 365th Training Squadron

However, I have recently fallen in love with the two-wheeler all over again. I am now riding a Trek 4300 hardtail and loving every minute! I am here to learn more about serious cycling and hang out with other cycling psycos.

This was just a cake for a dinner party. It's carrot cake with pecan cream cheese icing (that's why there are brown pieces in the icing). I do a lot of henna, and like doing this flower, so I thought it would look cute on the cake. I love pink and green. It was a hit, and looked great on the table.

The NASA Sustainability Base, scheduled to occupy in April/May of 2011, is an interesting examination of sustainability. Designed to produce more energy than it uses, the NASA Sustainability Base meets LEED Platinum guidelines, integrates the latest NASA technology, and focuses on air quality, natural lighting, intelligent controls, and flexible building controls.
The Sustainability Base is a two story-building, approximately 50,000 square feet. and is located in Moffet Field, CA. The Base demands only 12% of the standard electrical power a conventional, code-compliant building would require, and a mere 10% of the potable water.
This energy efficiency is achieved through a geothermal system, high performance lighting, radiant cooling, intelligent building systems and on-site photovoltaic energy generation.
Not only will the Sustainability Base use very little energy, the installation of NASA Ames developed research on next-generation fuel cell utilizing landfill biogas, the building will generate 20% more energy than consumed annually.
The building is designed for approximately 200 people, and comes with a host of health benefits to reduce absenteeism and improve workplace efficiency.
Who are the firms that created this project?
NASA Ames Research Center – Owner
AECOM – Record Architects, Interior Design, Landscape, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire-Protection, Civil and Structural Engineering, as wells as Sustainable Materials Specifications.

Is expected by Sept.30th. We are waiting for the requirements in order to provide an interim analysis on our pivotal phase III trial for severe sepsis ( septic shock ). During his recent presentation in NY, our CEO, Dr.Paul Walker explained that he expects the interim analysis to be available by the end of Q1 2013. The FDA is allowing Spectral to "look earlier" at the results, why you ask ? Because more people are dying in this trial than expected. Is this a problem ? Apparently not, if you reached a grade 9 level of math and look at the numbers provided it's not too difficult to determine what's going on. Through the use of Spectral's EAA diagnostic, they are choosing the "sickest of the sick", and therefore those in the "standard of care group" (placebo) appear to be dying at a significant %, this would push the overall mortality rate higher than expected ( 35% vs. predicted 27.5%) The BILLION+ question is what percentage is each group responsible for ???? Initially the requirement was for 180 patients at "interim ananlysis", this number has now been pushed back to a second interim ananlysis scheduled for Q1 2014. At August 15th 2012 we had 62 patients officially enrolled in the trial, I would expect that the FDA will allow 100 as the number for the first interim analysis in Q1 2013. We are VERY close to significant activity or SIGNIFICANT FAILURE, given the activity, share price, and massive dilution to friendly hands at friendlier prices, I would be SHOCKED ( "septicly if you will" ) with a negative result.
Walker did a fantastic job of presenting the data to the handful of brokers in NY on the 10th. He was extrememly confident and the data he presented was very encouraging. Because our primary endpoint is 28 day mortality, deaths in the trial must be reported ( SAE's) This means that data flow from this trial is well above and beyond 99% of trials run. The fact that Birch Hill continues to pour money into this story, given their knowledge, and the supporting data is highly positive.
Bear in mind, it's still important for us to remain range bound while the .08 deal at Meddwell gets finalized. Yesterday activity at MWC was a telling tale of just how important it is to keep both companies right where they are.

In the MOD70 European Tour, Musandam-Oman Sail, skippered by Sidney Gavignet with his international crew became the third different team to win a City Race series in successive stops of the Tour when they triumphed in the sixth race in Cascais, Portugal.
Musandam-Oman Sail win Cascais City Race series - 2012 MOD70 European Tour
Musandam-Oman Sail won three of the six races sailed over three days, almost all in light breeze, which proved somewhat contrary to Cascais reputation for reliable strong winds. Smarting after losing second place to Foncia in the final half mile to the finish of the offshore stage from Dun Laoghaire at dawn in very light airs early on Wednesday morning, Gavignet and his crew realised then they had a small deficit in speed to Michel Desjoyeaux's crew. They made changes accordingly and, aligned to steady starting and some strong tactics from Jean Francois Cuzon, have remained very consistent, complementing their three wins with two thirds and a fifth to win ahead of Yann Guichard's Spindrift racing.
Musandam-Oman Sail collect 12 precious points in the chase for the MOD70 European Tour while second place for Spindrift racing ensures they increase their overall lead in the general classification.
From a race which was contested in only a very light and patchy SW'ly breeze that never topped more than 6kts and faded to almost nothing in areas, Yann Guichard's crew on Spindrift racing took the winning gun for Race 5 of the City Race series.
Musandam-Oman Sail wins Cascais City Race series - 2012 MOD70 European Tour
With Musandam-Oman Sail finishing fifth, Spindrift racing temporarily had the overall series lead by a single point. Although it was Sébastien Josse's team on Groupe Edmond de Rothschild who made the best start and lead to the first offset mark, on the upwind leg, they ran out of wind pressure in the middle right of the leg.
Spindrift racing and Foncia chose to stay closer to the Cascais shore where they found some localised acceleration of the wind and were able to round the top mark in first and second.
With the breeze fading and developing big holes, although the MOD70's moved with impressive efficiency in the light winds, Race Direction chose to halt the race after one round of the triangle course. This time the triangle course was upwind-downwind as opposed to the downwind-upwind format of yesterday and Friday.
It was in Race 6, the final inshore contest of Cascais, that cemented the overall Cascais City Race series for Musandam-Oman Sail, winning by two points ahead of Spindrift racing.
Three boats were called over the start line early, Foncia, Race for Water and Groupe Edmond de Rothschild.
MOD70 European Tour 2012 - Edmond de Rothschild Group
Musandam-Oman Sail emerged from with the lead and were able to stay ahead around the two lap course.
Race for Water restarted smartly and made a smart good recovery at the top end of the first windward leg. In the end they were able to push Musandam-Oman Sail hard at the finish line.
Results after six City Races
1- Musandam-Oman Sail (Sidney Gavignet) : 10+10+12+12+8+12 = 64 points
2- Spindrift racing (Yann Guichard) : 11+11+9+10+12+9 = 62 points
3- Groupe Edmond de Rothschild (Sébastien Josse) : 12+9+10+9+9+10 = 59 points
4- Race for Water (Stève Ravussin) : 9+12+8+8+10+11 = 58 points
5- Foncia (Michel Desjoyeaux) : 8+8+11+11+11+8 = 57 points

Sidney Gavignet, FRA skipper Musandam-Oman Sail (OMA): 'We are happy, we won three races from six which is pretty good. It is great, just great. What is good is that we just work on making progress and we did not need to make big progress, but to just keeping making progress step by step all the time wherever you start from and we started pretty low. We lost crew on the first race in Kiel. We broke the daggerboard in Dublin, so we were starting from quite low, and had some problems. But we kept working. We kept the positive spirit and little by little we get more cards to play the game with. What we learned here, if we had those two cards on the way in, we would have been second from Dublin. One is easy we could not pass the battens across in the light winds and the other is speed with the gennaker. So for sure we are making progress and growing in confidence and that affects the others who lose in confidence, we need to keep progressing.
We have a contract with ourselves, we said our goal was to finish mid fleet, so a podium, and it is start. The points for winning here are not much compared to winning offshore, but it's a step in the right direction. So we are kind of into our stride. We are better organised.
Jean Francois Cuzon is the tactician and does it all. I am just the helmsman. We are still not at 100% confidence and sometimes we are just looking at the others to see how to go fast. I think one thing we have done well is if you want the tactician-strategist to do the job well you have to leave them the space to do it well. For the Omani's I am sometimes a bit hard on them, over their shoulders, and that is not good because I am not doing my job so well. And I am putting pressure on them, So on the first day we regrouped a little, and each one is doing their job well. Now I let everyone do their job.'

I have a friend who is raving about the pessoa lunging system. I have never heard of it so I googled it. I was wondering what people can tell me about it. Its not a system I think I am experienced enough to handle so its not a purchase question. I know its used to get a horse in frame. I like that idea, but I thought that a horse who is balanced and carries itself in a frame was doing so as a result of the rider giving the appropriate cues. I am just wondering if I am lacking in my understanding of frame as it applies to horses. Is this system as complex as it looks? Do you have the issue of a horse ending up in a false frame? I guess I am wondering how you can train a horse to be in frame without a rider, when the instant you put a rider on you will alter how a horse uses its body. At the same time, its seems like a short cut. Teaching a horse to move in this position regardless of what the rider is doing. Am I completely not understanding the system (probably)?
I would love to get my gelding a little better muscled and traveling in a better frame; however, he is not a candidate for this system in my opinion. He has some very negative associations with lunging. He was trained to canter by being put on a lunge line and basically whipped until he took up a canter. As a result, for the first year that I had him I put him on a lunge line and he took off like a rocket, no walk, no trot just run as fast as you can. I have gradually gotten him to the point where he can lunge on voice commands as long as I don't have a lunge whip in my hands. I even show him that on a lunge line and he regresses. So, me not being familiar with this system can really see myself monkeying it up and causing a major wreck at worst and at best setting us back in our progress. Right now, my horse will carrying himself in a nice frame, when I am in the right position and giving the right cues. Which is not always as often as we would like. So, I will continue to have it be him and I working together to get him in a frame. I just saw this and wondered what people thought of it.

I like the idea of an all in one plugin to remove version no; so I've just tried this plugin on 2 sites.
However, I've not rated it yet because for both sites securi.net was still able to identify the major WP version as 3.7 from common.js.
Both sites use different themes; and I've even switched to the standard 2012 theme but Securi still identifies the version number.
Any thoughts/ideas?

10/27/15: Just returned in the wee hours of morning from an incredible writing workshop called "Better Books Marin." If the amazing advice from freelance editor Emma Dryden and agent Susan Hawk does not improve my writing by leaps and bounds, I don't know what will...maybe a literary trampoline?

8/4/15: Changes are afoot...and The Minnows Literary Group's next time travel anthology should be out by the end of the year.
5/19/15: Wanted to share some nice comments (ones written by strangers) from Goodreads and Amazon reviews for some of my stories in the anthologies put out by The Minnows Literary Group:
"Enjoyed this a lot, some great time travel stories!
Unfillable Void by Teresa Robeson was my favorite of the stories. The story of a woman who turns to time travel to get more time with her mother before she dies at the cost of her marriage to a good man. Very sad and touching at the same time."
"I also loved 'Occupational Hazard' by Teresa Robson, and all the stories in this collection were well written and kept me pleasurably entertained."
"These twelve tales use traditional fairy tales or fables as a jumping point and jump they do. Good becomes evil, medieval becomes modern, and Grimm becomes even Grimmer, as the tried and true wind up fried in a stew. I especially liked Teresa Robeson's spin on Cinderella, updated with a "bird's eye view" to make it more Cinder-relevant. Speaking of cinders, don't miss her edgy take on The Three Pigs, facing fire this time from a pyromaniac named Old Korowai, referencing the tree people of Papua, New Guinea."
4/16/15: Joanna Marple, a thoughtful and talented children's writer, interviewed me for her illustrator blog post today. There's a giveaway, too. Come check it out!
4/9/15: I've been preoccupied with working on a story and dummy for an illustrator workshop called Creating Your Best Dummy that will meet in June. It's really re-working a story I was already working on, but it's a 100% re-working, taking prose and turning it into a collection of poetry, so it's been a lot of work. Here's a sketch of an old spread of the prose story:
2/11/15: The 2015 Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators conference in NYC was a wonderful gathering! The keynote speaker, Kwame Alexander, is a marvelous human being in addition to being an amazing orator. All the other speakers were also very, very good. I'm so glad I attended and have returned rejuvenated and inspired to write and illustrate (which is actually code for "I'm going to slack off and recover from a crazy long week of networking and learning").
1/28/15: My short story, "The Power of Negative Thinking," won an Honorable Mention from the Writers of the Future Contest. Apparently, only about 1 in 200 entrants get an honorable mention, so that's not a bad achievement.
Also, we have sold over 7,000 copies of the Out Of Time anthology (see left sidebar)! This translates into a very nice sum of donations for Doctors Without Borders.
1/1/15: Centauri Station, the space travel anthology by the Minnows Literary Group is out! It sold 16 copies the first three days. That's a pretty good record. As usual, all profits go to Doctors Without Borders.
12/22/14: I'm entering the following creature for KidLit Creature Week (click on badge below my illustration to go to the site). It's an Aardragon, in case you were wondering. :)
12/1/14: The Minnows Literary Group's new ebook, Still Out of Time, is now published. As with other books by MLG, all profits will go to Doctors Without Borders.
11/26/14: Guess what? :)
10/25/14: November is nearly upon us, and you know what that means, right? Yup, it's the onslaught of acronyms: PiBoIdMo and NaNoWriMo.
10/7/14: I just signed up for the NYC Society of Children's Book Writer's and Illustrators' conference! So excited and nervous at the same time.
9/25/14: I've added a new tab called "The Library" (see above) where I will post my stories and poems, not available anywhere else, for your reading enjoyment.
8/29/14: Julie Hedlund, the creative genius behind the 12x12 Picture Book Challenge, posted a lovely interview of me and how I got my agent. :)
7/12/14: Paul Siluch, one of the members of my SF critique group, the Minnows Literary Group, got us a nice shout-out from the Writers of the Future organization!
5/14/14: I'm super excited to announce that I've signed with a literary agent, Ella Kennen of Corvisiero Literary Agency. For details, my friend and fellow critique group partner, Sylvia Liu, has a write-up about it: How I Got My Agent.
There's also an older, brief profile on me in KidLit411.
This past week was also my birthday. Look at the darling piece of art the super talented Julie Rowan-Zoch made for me!
4/10/14: Doctors Without Borders gave The Minnows Literary Group a Twitter shout-out!
4/4/14: Beth Stilborn, a sweet friend from the 12x12 Picture Book Writing Challenge group, gave The Minnows Literary Group's e-anthologies to benefit Doctors Without Borders a wonderful spotlight. Thank you, Beth!

1/6/14: Happy 2014! The year is starting out pretty nice for me.
For one, the Minnows Literary Group anthology on time travel, Out of Time, has sold over 3,500 copies, to people all over the world even, since it debuted in February of 2013. We are thrilled to be able to donate over $1,000 (100% of the profits) to Doctors Without Borders, and look forward to sending more money their way with the sales of our new anthology (In a Land Far Away).
For another, another of my awesome critique groups, the CATS, spearheaded by E. Kiely Kearns and Sylvia Liu, launched an incredible new resource, KidLit411.com which features me in the first illustrator profile!
And if that isn't enough to make a gal glow, the splendid poetess Catherine Johnson also did a portrait of me with a charming write-up!
So, yeah, 2014 is starting out great. I hope yours is too!
12/16/13: I'm super excited to announce that due to the extreme organizational skills of Russell James, horror author extraordinaire and the leader of the Minnows Literary Group, our anthology In A Land Far Away is now available as Kindle and paperback just in time for holiday gift giving!
As before, all profits go to Doctors Without Borders, so you can help the less fortunate while enjoying a smashing good read.

7/9/13: We are featured on the lovely and talented Rhonda Hopkins' Authors Give Back blog feature today!
6/30/13: I've just completed the awesome month-long course, Making Picture Book Magic. I not only learned a lot, but also have written a pretty decent story through the clearly defined steps outlined in the course. The lessons are broken up into easily digestible chunks, spanning 21 lessons (you get weekends off) and shares Susanna Hill's wealth of knowledge and insight through the lectures and the group page on Facebook. I highly recommend this class to anyone who has ever wanted to write picture books!
4/21/13: Just completed Mira Reisberg's informative "The Craft and Business of Writing Children's Picture Books" course via Picture Book Academy! It was a video-filled course covering a variety of topics on writing children's books and provides a good overview particularly for beginners.
This time, it was for Susanna Hill's "in Just- spring" contest. You can check out the story I wrote for the contest on my regular blog. And I get to have the lovely Laura Galvin, editor at KidsBooks, give me a critique on a couple of my picture book manuscripts...yay!! Many, many thanks to Susanna for the contest and Laura for the prize!

So sorry to hear :( Had the same thing happen in May and we were TTC since November. It was a hard thing for me to deal with. BUT now I am 6 weeks and all #'s are looking good and I feel good about this one. We waited for one normal cycle to pass and started up TTC again and to our luck we snagged an egg.I don't think you would need to wait very long to TTC.
Sorry to hear that you are going through this experience. I pray that you are granted the strength and courage that you need to cope with this situation. Lots of blessing to you.
EDD 3/13/2011 - first pregnacy.
I'm sorry to hear this as well. BELIEVE ME, i had an ectopic...saw the hearbeat on the monitor and everything. It took me a LONG time to get over and honestly I still haven't. But, I'm preggo now and so excited. You will know when you're ready. Bless you and take care.

works fine for me
Have not tried it yet, but it looks ok
It works, but I decided not to use it. I was concerned if I left it on, and it loosened while riding I'd have a flat tire. Taking it off after each use causes a loss of air as you remove it.
If you have aluminum wheels, saddle bags and disc brakes, this little beauty is a MUST HAVE.
Started looking for 90 degree valve connection extension about one month ago, no luck. Finally got smart & checked J&P cycles, lo & behold there right in front of my face, exactly what I wanted. Ordered & arrived days earlier than expected, at the best price & great quality. thanks-Butch
These are great for my 82 Gold Wing the valve is very hard to get to These 90 degree valves make it easy no more broking valves at the gas station from bending it over to far to get tire gauge on!

The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) announced today that Bonnie Polvinale, CMP, will serve as interim chief executive officer (CEO) until a permanent CEO is hired to lead the organization. In addition, the association has officially launched the search process for a new CEO with the hiring of an executive search firm and the appointment of a CEO Search Board Workgroup (CEOSWG).
Polvinale has served in various leadership roles at APTA over the past 34 years. She is currently APTA's vice president of member relations and is responsible for a 34-person division that encompasses the departments of member services, membership development, professional development, meeting services, and minority and women's initiatives. She will continue to serve in this capacity during her tenure as interim CEO. Polvinale's other leadership roles at APTA have included vice president of governance, components, and meetings, and director of conferences and meeting services. Polvinale will succeed APTA CEO John Barnes, who will be leaving the organization effective July 31.
"Bonnie's broad and deep understanding of the association and the profession will serve us well as we conduct the search for a new CEO," said APTA President Paul Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS.
In addition to her work with APTA, Polvinale is a member of the Professional Convention Management Association and has served on the Hilton Hotels Corporate Advisory Panel. She has also been very involved in community outreach through ALIVE! and other charitable organizations in the Alexandria, Virginia, area.
In conjunction with Polvinale's appointment, APTA also announced the hiring of executive search firm Isaacson, Miller, to lead the effort. In addition, a CEOSWG was appointed, comprising members of APTA's Executive Committee and members representing various constituencies of the association, including chapters, sections, new professionals, and those with long-term association experience.
Executive Committee members are:
Paul Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS
Sharon Dunn, PT, PhD, OCS
Laurie Hack, PT, DPT, MBA, PhD, FAPTA
Roger Herr, PT, MPA, COS-C
Elmer Platz, PT
Other members of the CEOSWG are:
Susan Appling, PT, DPT, PhD, OCS (TN)
Steve Anderson, PT, DPT (WA)
Daniel Dale, PT, DPT (GA)
David Emerick Sr, PTA, BBA (VA)
Colleen Kigin, PT, DPT, MS, MPA, FAPTA (MA)
Craig Moore, PT, MS (FL)
Hack and Dunn will co-chair the CEOSWG.
APTA's goal is to hold the first meeting of the CEOSWG by teleconference in mid-July, when members will begin developing the desired criteria for a new CEO. Advertising for the position will begin shortly after the first workgroup meeting, and candidate interviews will be held throughout the fall, with the goal of having a new CEO on board in early 2014.
This announcement and future updates concerning the CEO search will appear on the APTA Staff page of APTA.org.
The title "DPT" is now a protected designation for licensed physical therapists in Texas who have earned a doctoral degree in physical therapy.
On June 14, Texas Gov Rick Perry signed bill SB 1099, which amends the Texas physical therapy statute to add "DPT" as a protected title; the legislation also adds "MPT." Texas law already protects the licensure designations "PT" and "PTA," as well as the terms "physical therapy" and "physiotherapy," and titles "physical therapist" and "physical therapist assistant."
"Providing recognition and protection for the doctor of physical therapy degree is an important goal for APTA and its state chapters," said APTA President Paul A. Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS. "Term and title protection laws are key to ensuring public protection, as well as recognition for the PT profession. We applaud the Texas Chapter for advocating on this important legislation."
"In the past, Texas has not had any language in statute to protect clinical degrees pertaining specifically to physical therapy. We are excited to pass this legislation that protects the DPT and MPT, adding to the already protected professional designations," said TPTA's Government Affairs Committee Co-Chairs Michael Connors, PT, DPT, OCS, and Brant Capps, PT, DPT, MS.
In addition to advocating for SB 1099, the Texas Chapter was busy this year pushing for improved patient direct access in the Lone Star state. Thanks to the efforts of TPTA members, 2 direct access bills (House Bill 1039 and Senate Bill 402) were filed with a total of 4 legislative sponsors between them. HB 1039 made the crucial step of being passed out of the House Public Health Committee, but it did not get scheduled for a vote by the full Texas House of Representatives before a key deadline.
Among the conclusions of the June 2013 MACPAC report is that more research is needed on how nonphysician practitioners could improve access to care for Medicaid enrollees with disabilities.
The Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC) released its Report to the Congress on Medicaid and CHIP last week. The report, issued annually, includes a chapter on access to care for adults with disabilities. Based on large-scale population surveys, provider and stakeholder data, consumer interviews and other qualitative data, and state Medicaid program data, MACPAC reported that access to health care among Medicaid-only enrollees with disabilities is comparable to that of other insured persons with disabilities; that unmet need among Medicaid-only enrollees with disabilities is lower than that of individuals with disabilities covered by private insurance or Medicare only; and that preventive services are underused among Medicaid enrollees with disabilities, although findings vary by service.
In addition to the need for research on nonphysicians and access to care, MACPAC reported that other areas in need of further research are the impact of enabling services on access to care, disability competency and accessibility in Medicaid provider networks, and evaluation and best practices in risk-based managed care and in service delivery for enrollees with disabilities.
Also in the report are chapters on Medicaid and CHIP eligibility and coverage for maternity services, the newly implemented increase in Medicaid physician payment for primary care services, the availability of data on Medicaid and CHIP that can be used for oversight and program monitoring, ways to improve the effectiveness of program integrity efforts, and the interaction between Medicaid benefits and the health insurance exchanges.
