The recall is over, and I suggest everybody eat a piece of chocolate.
Except for dogs, who can't tolerate the confection.
Halloween is nigh, so the availability of chocolate ought to be at its highest level since Mother's Day.You could even procure a sample for free, if you've no compunction about pilfering your kids' pile.
The nice thing about chocolate — well, one of the nice things — is that you need to be awfully committed to anger to stay mad while a morsel is melting in its velvety way inside your mouth.
I recommend milk chocolate because, though it's not so healthful as the varieties with a higher cocoa content, its flavor is sweeter.
And we've tasted more bitterness around here these past 4fi months than is good even for stout stomachs.
There's no reason for the unpleasant sensations to persist, though, no reason we can't cleanse our collective palate.
This is business.
The business of making sure that in our small city the water flows and the sewer pipes drain and the police officers and firefighters rush to us when we need their help.
All of which continued to happen during the campaign and which will, I'm confident in predicting, continue now that the votes have been counted.
Sure the recall turned personal. Recalls inevitably are personal — the goal, after all, is to kick elected officials out of office.
Yet today the same seven councilors we chose to represent us still do.
Their job is precisely what it was before the recall.
They need to hire a city manager.
They need to ensure that the city keeps the cop cars and the fire trucks rolling, and the pipes clear of obstructions, and the streets passable even during blizzards.
Councilors don't need to like each other to complete these tasks.
But I believe they are obliged to respect their constituents while they're going about their business.
I don't mean to imply that the only effective city councils are those which always vote unanimously.
I'm not bothered by 4-3 votes, so long as members of both the majority and the minority can explain coherently why they voted as they did.
I don't think that even the recall was incoherent, once you boiled off the ludicrous and baseless accusations and distilled the matter to its essence.
Councilors Dennis Dorrah, Beverly Calder, Aletha Bonebrake and Clair Button concluded that Steve Brocato no longer deserved the job of city manager.
Councilors Sam Bass, Milo Pope and Andrew Bryan disagreed; and further, they decided that their colleagues' judgment was so faulty that Calder and Dorrah, who were eligible to be recalled, should be removed from office.
Settling the matter, as is proper and legal, was left to voters. They decided to keep Dorrah and Calder.
Yet the Council's clash over the Brocato case does not preclude councilors from agreeing about who should replace him.
It shouldn't, at any rate.
Councilors will regain a healthy share of the citizenry's confidence, it seems to me, if they can forge a consensus in their selection of a city manager.
I'm not so naive as to expect councilors will quickly forgive the grievances that festered all summer, and which remain fresh.
But I don't think it's naive at all to demand that these seven people, who rarely spend more than a handful of hours per month in the same room, suspend their animosity for those relatively brief periods.
An occasional honest dispute among lawmakers can be a reviving tonic, I think, so long as the opposing sides express their views with logic and respect.
But the absence of moderation, whether in public debate or the consumption of chocolate, is apt to leave many complaining of a stomachache.
Compared to a toilet, even a device as apparently innocuous as a curling iron seems as menacing as a puff adder.
A commode carries not a single volt of electric current.
And since it's connected to only the cold water supply, burns are unlikely.
Yet the retiring nature of the toilet has failed to deter the purveyors of battery-powered warning devices.
The mail recently brought to my desk the inelegantly named "LeakAlertor."
This product, which is about the size of a car key fob, is supposed to — and here I'm quoting from the package — "detect leaks that you cannot see or hear."
The device, also according to the package, "electronically monitors your toilet."
Which sounds like it ought to be illegal, or at least immoral.
The LeakAlertor's real purpose, of course, is benign as well as beneficial: It tells you, by means of visual as well as audible alarms, when your toilet's leaking, and thus wasting water.
My first thought upon seeing the device, though, was not to tout its green credentials. Instead I recalled an especially inglorious episode from my childhood, a period not lacking in personal embarrassment.
It was the similarity between the names of the products that jarred loose my memory.
Mine was called the "Wee Alert, and its purpose was distressingly similar to that of the "LeakAlertor."
It was also, so far as I can tell, the nearest Sears, Roebuck & Co. ever came to peddling the sort of medieval torture device that medieval torturers would have built if they had had access to cheap electricity.
My parents bought the thing, and in retrospect I concede that they had ample reason for the purchase.
I had a problem with wetting my bed.
Actually I didn't have a problem at all — I was quite adept, apparently, at soiling sheets while sleeping.
Anyway, my parents figured I was too old to persist with such nasty habits.
I suppose they were right — I was 15 at the time.
I mean 5. Five. Half of 10.
The Wee Alert was designed on the fiendishly clever principle that a child, if jolted out of REM sleep often enough, will rein in his undisciplined urinary tract. Reverse Pavlov, you might say.
But it's how the Wee Alert works that's truly sinister.
When moisture touches the Wee Alert (it's basically an electric blanket that warns rather than warms), the sheet vibrates and triggers an alarm.
In other words I was subjected to shock treatment.
My parents even now, years after the relevant statute of limitations expired, insist that they employed the Wee Alert on just a few nights.
My recollection of the events is sufficiently hazy that I can't dispute their account.
But still I wonder.
Especially on those nights when I awaken suddenly, my bladder heavy and my skin tingling.

St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - One of two men charged in last summer's ambush attack that injured a young boy and a man, has been placed on five years probation after pleading guilty to the charge last month.
34 year old Eric Whitehead of north St. Louis admitted guilt to an unlawful possession of a firearm crime in connection to the June 15th incident in the 4400 block of Lexington Avenue.
Police arrested Whitehead and another man, 19 year old Jimmy Brown, after an argument that took place between a woman and her boyfriend. After the diputed ended, the woman got into a car and the boyfriend, along with Whitehead and Brown began following.
Gunfire erupted moments later, with a ten year old boy playing outside being shot in the stomach. A 24 year old man was also shot in the attack.
Whitehead was assessed a 15 year suspended prison term in exchange for the probation order by Judge Mark Neill.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Brown is scheduled to be in court later this week for a motions hearing. Brown is facing two counts each of first degree assault and armed criminal action and is scheduled for trial in January.

Born in Brooklyn on June 30, 1966, Michael Gerard Tyson is an all-time boxing great who, in his prime, struck fear in the heart of any opponent he squared off against. He compiled an impressive record of 50 wins, five losses and one disqualification for biting off an opponent's ear over the course of an incomparable career in which he became the first undisputed heavyweight champ to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF title belts simultaneously. Iron Mike has weathered a host of woes and controversies outside the ring ranging from allegations of spousal abuse to a rape conviction to the death of his four-year-old daughter, Exodus, to declaring bankruptcy after frittering away over $300 million in prizefight purses. Today, he is a very happily-married man, with a couple of children, Milan and Morocco, by his third wife, Kiki. Tyson (MT) is currently nearing the end of a 36-city tour of the country in "Undisputed Truth," a one-man Broadway show directed by Spike Lee and written by Tyson's wife. Continue Reading →

It is an incontrovertible fact that the overall performance of the Tanzanian contingent to the All Africa Games has been nothing much to write home about.
However, late last week before the games ended, this saddening picture of mediocrity changed for the better when the national women's netball team impressively claimed the silver medal at the All Africa Games in Maputo, Mozambique.
What clearly stands out from our heroines' Maputo adventure is that out of eight tough matches, they only lost two games, which is a remarkable achievement that will certainly gladden the hearts of the wananchi.
Affectionately dubbed the 'Taifa Queens,' the team has salvaged a bit of our badly dented national sporting pride as we had not yet won a medal in any other sport before their glorious success.
In light of this feel-good story for local netball, it is hoped that would-be sponsors will now feel greatly inclined to channel vast funds into the sport in a bid to hasten its development in the country.
Indeed, the success of Taifa Queens ought to clearly show sponsors that lending enormous financial backing to football at the expense of other sports comes at a high price that we should not be willing to pay.
Moreover, as our team has demonstrated such sublime skills, one hopes that the authorities will soon sign the services of a top-notch foreign coach to improve our prospects of future success on the global stage.
Furthermore, it would perhaps be a good idea as well for the Tanzania Netball Association (Chaneta) to organise more friendly matches against quality opposition in an effort to further expose our national team to international netball.
But all these lofty plans can wait: for now let us savour the thrilling success of Taifa Queens.
They are certainly queens of netball in my book and they have restored some pride to a wounded sporting nation.

AG029: Ready, Willing, and Sableye
this wiki
Get ready for one of the most weirdest things you've ever seen. For the first time on TV you get to learn how to eat sandwiches with a spoon. That's what happened when Ash's Corphish minced all the sandwiches Brock made.
Later on Team Rocket discovers an abandoned gold mine and dig in, But Ash has a different plan in mind: Courage Training. Can Ash and co. brave this mine in order to be well prepared for his rematch with Brawly?
Brock is making sandwiches and calms the Pokémon down since he'll make them any second. Ash's Corphish then helps Brock by cutting the salad. However, he mistakes the sandwiches to be salad, so he cuts them too. The gang has no other choices but to eat the food - with a spoon. Corphish, however, does not feel bad about it - he thinks he helped.
Team Rocket stops and James looks to his map - they are near a gold mine, but it has been empty for many years. Jessie and Meowth have their own plans and when they mention promotion in Team Rocket, even James is convinced. They spot a trolley and ride it further into the mine. They encounter some two glowing eyes and it begins to smile at them. James stops the trolley, pushing Meowth from the trolley and leaving him alone with the ghost. Meowth, being frightened, runs away, but stumbles and knocks himself.
Jessie and James are out of the mine and they have to go back in to save Mewoth. When they hear the gang approaching, they run off. May asks Max if this is the gold mine, to which Max confirms. Ash is going to train his courage in the mine, but others resist. Ash whispers the plan how to scare Corphish, to make him more obedient. James thinks they should warn them about the ghost, but Jessie plans to steal Pikachu by scaring them.
Max and May are going to dress up as ghosts to scare Corphish. Meanwhile, Meowth awakens and recognizes the ghost to be a Sableye. Sableye gives Meowth food, but when he bites, he realizes it is a stone. Sableye says that the room they are in is the Control Room from where the mine can be observed. Meowth spots May and Max, so Sableye proposes to scare them. Meowth agrees, thinking how he will get some gold so he can get the promotion before Jessie and James.
Ash sends Corphish and will test his courage. Corphish thinks Ash is just joking, but they hear some sounds, so Corphish gets upset. May and Max disguise as ghosts, making Corphish more and more scared. Corphish is very scared, so he attacks the ghost, revealing May and Max to be underneath. Corphish is mad, so he tackles the trolley where Max and May have fallen into, drifting deeper into the tunnels.
May and Max have stopped, but two glowing eyes appear before them. They are scared, but Max identifies that to be a Sableye. May and Max are angry, so May sends Torchic to use Ember. Sableye dodges and licks Torchic, so May calls it back. Meowth appears as well, pressing a button to capture May and Max. At the entrance, Ash explains to Brock how the test went, but wonders where May and Max are, so they need to get in to rescue.
Sableye and Meowth spot ash and Brock, so they go to scare them. Max knows that Meowth is using Sableye to trick it. A trolley is moving, to which Ash thinks it are May and Max inside. However, they find it empty, but Sableye licks Ash's neck without him knowing. They hear something and the Sableye licks Brock's neck as well, frightening him. Mewoth attacks Corphish and disappears, making Corphish to mistake Ash attacked him.
Corphish attacks Ash and Pikachu, making everyone confused. May brings Torchic to free them, but Torchic has not recovered from the previous battle. However, Toachic manages to use Ember, freeing Max and May. Pikachu attacks Corphish, making the battle intense. However, Meowth throws a net to them, capturing them. Sableye appears as well, so Brock and Ash wonder why Meowth and Sableye are together. May and Max appear, warning Sableye not to trust Meowth.
Sableye is confused, not knowing whom to trust - Meowth or May. Jessie and James arrive, praising Meowth for the work. Meowth betrays Sableye and goes with Team Rocket on the trolley. Ash brings Taillow and it pecks Jessie. Jessie throws a bomb, speeding themselves up and destroying the place. Sableye, however, guides them out of the place.
Team Rocket made it out in time, but Mewoth has some second thoughts about tricking Sableye. The gang arrives - Sableye lead them out of the mine. Sableye is very angry for its place is destroyed. Sableye scatches the rope, freeing Pikachu and Corphish. Corphish uses Crabhammer and Pikachu Iron Tail to knock Team Rocket out. Sableye then sends them blasting away. Pikachu and Corphish thank Sableye for rescuing them and the gang waves goodbye as Sableye goes away.
While in trolley, Max's lips weren't moving when he spoke to May.
- Meowth did not recite the end of the motto in thisepisode.

With today's navigation technology such as handheld compasses and global positioning systems (GPS) getting lost is much harder than it used to be, but it still does happen. Don't wait until you're lost to use your compass or GPS. Before you head out for a hunt, take a bearing of where you plan to hunt, to help find your way back if necessary. If you are not familiar with a compass, we have provided an easy and simple explanation of the parts and how to use it. Let's look at the parts of this kind of compass:
It is clear and has a ruler for measuring inches on one side.
A mark on the compass base for accurate reading of the bearing or direction to an object.
The bezel can be rotated and features degree markings on it from 0 through 360 degrees. The degree markers are usually in two-degree increments.
An arrow that is used to point in the direction of your travel.
Used in conjunction with a viewed object or topographical map to determine bearing to an object or place.
The needle pivots in a 360-degree circle and points to magnetic north. It is usually colored red, to indicate the north end of the needle, and white to indicate the south end of the needle. However on certain compasses the south end of the needle is colored black.

Luigi returns for more ghostbusting action on the Nintendo 3DS in Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon.
- Luigi's Solo 3D Debut
- Different Ghosts
- Money, Money, Money!
- 3D Delights
Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon marks Luigi's first solo outing on the Nintendo 3DS in the sequel to the 2002 smash hit GameCube title that saw Luigi step out of Mario's shadow and into the limelight.
With his knees knocking and teeth chattering, Luigi must shoulder his Poltergust and step foot into multiple mansions to take down the paranormal nasties lurking in draws, closets and curtains.
You'll find a variety of ghosts inhabit the different mansions meaning each mansion will offer new challenges. As you confront these pesky poltergheists you'll need to learn the different ways to stun them, from simply shining the light in their eyes to setting your torch to strobe, so that you can stun them before sucking them up with the Poltergust!
Like the Game Cube classic, Luigi's Mansion 2's mansions are jammed with hidden loot just waiting to be found, be it crisp notes, dazzling diamonds and even Gold bars. Check everything using the sucking power of the Poltergust, hoover the draws, curtains and even the wallpaper to discover the missing money and treasure chests.
Thanks to the power of the Nintendo 3DS, Luigi's Mansion 2 is brought to life in new and exciting ways as the ghost pop in the background and foreground, in ways that the GameCube original couldn't.
Become the other plumber and give Luigi the courage to tackle the ghouls and ghosts of a new set of mansions in Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon exclusively on Nintendo 3DS.

The Federal Aviation Administration says it will try to resume normal schedules for air traffic controllers as soon as possible.
It had been assigning unpaid days off for its 15,000 controllers as part of $85 billion in across-the-board budget cuts that Congress failed to avert.
But public anger over a week of flight delays prompted lawmakers to quickly pass legislation giving the FAA the authority to withdraw the furloughs by moving funds between accounts. The measure approved by the House today will allow the FAA to transfer funds for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Republicans accused the Obama administration of using the furloughs to score political points.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says Republicans were up in arms about flight delays but not about the sequester's impact on children in the Head Start program or seniors who depend on Meals on Wheels.

A KIND of SMUDGY CARBON COPY of 2010's RAZZIE® "WINNING" VALENTINE'S DAY, NEW YEAR'S EVE BOASTS an "ALL STAR CAST" of NO LESS THAN 18 "NAMES" -- ANY or EACH of WHOM COULD HAVE PROVEN to BE IRRESISTABLE as RAZZIE® BAIT.
FOREMOST AMONG the LIKELY TARGETS IS LAST YEAR'S WORST ACTOR "WINNER" (PARTIALLY for VALENTINE'S DAY) ASHTON KUTCHER. WE'VE ALSO GOT FORMER WORST ACTRESS RAZZIE® "WINNERS" HALLE BERRY and SARAH JESSICA PARKER, AS WELL AS PRIOR RAZZIE® NOMINEES JESSICA BIEL and ROBERT deNIRO, and PREVIOUS RAZZIE® "ALMOST NOMINEES" ZAC EFRON and KATHERINE HEIGL PLUS POSSIBLE RAZZIE® "FIRST-TIMERS" JOSH DUHAMEL, JON BON JOVI and GLEE'S LEA MICHELE.
WITH THAT MANY "LEADING ROLES," YOU MIGHT FIGURE the 117-MINUTE EVE WOULD BE A HOPELESS JUMBLE of HALF-DEVELOPED/HALF-ASSED LOVE STORIES...AND APPARENTLY, YOU'D BE RIGHT -- with a LOWLY 6% POSITIVE R.T. RATING, NEW YEAR'S WAS LAST YEAR's MOST STAR-STUFFED, FAR-from-ROMANTIC "ROMANTIC COMEDY."
ITs MAKERS THOUGHT IT'D PROBABLY MAKE LOTS BUX (VALENTINE'S CERTAINLY DID) BUT, AS FAR TOO MANY 2011 RELEASES HAVE ALREADY PROVEN, BIG BOX OFFICE and ACTUAL QUALITY (LET ALONE "WATCH-ABILITY") NO LONGER GO HAND-in-HAND in MODERN HOLLYWOOD...
WHICH LEAVES US SIGHING -- and NOT in a ROMANTIC WAY!
...HERE's the LINK to EXPRESS YER THOUGHTS (ROMANTIC, PEDANTIC and OTHERWISE) in OUR FORUM DISCUSSION of THIS FILM...

Part 1:
Middle Class Series: The Failure of Supply-Side Economics
Three Decades of Empirical Economic Data Shows That Supply-Side Economics Doesnt Work
When President Bill Clinton, pictured here addressing the nation in 1993, raised taxes that same year did the economy suffer a slowdown, as was predicted by those who believe in supply-side economics? The data says no.
Adherents of the economic theory known as supply-side economics contend that by cutting taxes on the rich we will unleash an avalanche of new investment that will spur economic growth, and boost job creation, leading to economic improvements for everyone. For most of the past 30 years this idea has dominated the economic debate, resulting in two sustained eras of tax cuts aimed at the wealthy, separated by a brief respite in the 1990s.
Now, as our economy struggles to emerge from the deepest recession in generationsand as we argue over what to do with the expiring Bush-era tax cutsit is more important than ever to understand one simple fact: When put to the test in the real world, supply-side policies did not deliver as promised. In fact, by every important measure, our nations economic performance after the tax increases of 1993 significantly outpaced that of the periods following the tax cuts of the early 1980s and the early 2000s.
Supply-side economics starts from the generally accepted economic insight that tax policy can influence private-sector decisions by changing the incentives to work and invest. But supply-side acolytes take this relatively mundane observation to an extreme conclusion. They argue that lowering taxes for people, especially for those who have a lot of money to invest, will always lead to better economic results, and furthermore, that lower taxes is the single most critical intervention the government can undertake to stimulate growth.
This assertionthat lower taxes for the rich will lead to improved economic resultsis testable. Of course, pure natural experiments in economics are few and far between, but over the last 30 years the United States alternated between economic policies that were heavily influenced by supply-side ideas, then were not, then were again. This variation allows us to compare economic performance in the various eras. If proponents of supply-side theory are correct, then the supply-side eras should outperform the non-supply side era. But thats not what happened.
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed a large tax cut package into law, which lowered the top income tax rate by 20 percentage points and cut taxes for the rich and for corporations. The next several years saw numerous additional tax legislations passed, much of which represented retreats from supply-side ideology. Nevertheless, this supply-side era continued into the 1990s. In 1993, President Bill Clinton signed a major tax increase into law. That legislation raised the top marginal income tax rate paid by the wealthy, and also extended Medicare taxes to higher income individuals. And despite the capital gains tax cut of 1997, the 1990s represented an eight-year respite from supply-side policies.
Those policies returned in force in 2001 with the enactment of tax cuts by President George W. Bush. To this day, we are still living, by and large, with the tax code from the Bush erawith the only differences being further tax cuts signed by President Barack Obama.
In order to evaluate whether supply-side policies really delivered on their promise, we looked at the economic performance of the three eras, all beginning at equivalent points in the business cycle. Since the 1993 tax increases were passed 10 quarters into an economic expansion, we compared performance for all three eras starting 10 quarters into their respective expansions, and then going forward five years from that point, orin the case of the 2000suntil the expansion ended in December of 2007.
We compared performance during these equivalent years along seven key economic measures. Here are the facts.
Investment growth was weaker under supply-side policies
The critical link in supply-side theorys chain is business investment. Proponents argue that lower taxes on the rich will spur more investment, and since investment is a key ingredient to growth, that will boost the overall economy. But investment growth during both supply-side eras lagged far behind that of the 1990s when taxes were higher. (see Figure 1)
Productivity growth was weaker under supply-side policies
A second key ingredient in the supply-side recipe is increasing worker productivity. The theory says that more business investment will result in innovations that allow each worker to produce more, thus growing the pie for everyone. But as with investment growth, productivity growth under supply-side policies fails to impress when compared to the higher tax era. (see Figure 2)
Overall economic growth was weaker under supply-side policies
With their lackluster investment and productivity growth, its not surprising that overall economic growth during the supply-side eras also lagged behind the higher-tax era. The expansion following the Bush tax cuts was especially weak. (see Figure 3)
Employment growth was weaker under supply-side policies
Because the higher-tax period experienced faster growth, it also enjoyed a booming job market. Employment growth after the 1993 tax increases outpaced that of both the 1980s supply-side period and the 2000s supply-side period. Again, the most recent supply-side period was especially bad for employment growth, averaging just 1.5 percent increases a year. (see Figure 4)
Income growth for middle-class households was lackluster under supply-side policies
Supply-side theory posits that when the tax burden on the rich is reduced, it will eventually help everyone. And conversely, if you raise taxes on the rich, then everyone will end up paying the price. Of course, if that were the case, we should have seen robust income growth for middle-class families under supply-side policies and stagnation under the higher-tax regime. But we saw just the opposite. After the tax increases, income for the median household grew at nearly twice the rate as it did under the supply-side tax policies. (see Figure 5)
Hourly earnings were flat or declined under supply-side policies
One of the ways that lower taxes on the rich is supposed to end up helping the middle class is by resulting in higher hourly earnings. Why? Because if investment leads to boosted productivity, then that boosted productivity should be reflected in wages. Is that what happened? No. We didnt get the investment boost, or the productivity boost, and we certainly didnt get the wage boost in either supply-side era. In fact, hourly earnings (after accounting for inflation) fell during the 1980s, and were flat during the one in the 2000s. But during the 1990s, after the tax hikes, real hourly wages grew by about 1 percent a year. (see Figure 6)

Super Bowl Advertisers Go After "Second Screens"
Call it the "second-screen" Super Bowl. About two-thirds of smartphone and tablet owners use their gadgets to do things like text or post on Twitter while watching TV, according to research firm Nielsen. So, for Sunday's game, companies from Coke to Chevy are trying to reach fans on all the "second screens" they have.

Do eye floaters go away?
Most eye floaters decrease in size and darkness with time. Some of this is due to actual absorption of the floater through the natural processes within the eye. Eye floaters may also shift in position within the eye, resulting in less of a shadow effect. In addition, the human brain tends to adapt to and often become used to the presence of eye floaters, ignoring them in a manner similar to the way a person only notices the feeling of shoes on their feet when they think about it. Eye floaters eventually tend to become less bothersome, both through reduction in density and size and the above described process of neuro-adaptation. Anxiety about the symptom of floaters can make the floaters more noticeable.
What is the treatment for eye floaters?
There are no safe and proven methods to cure the symptom of eye floaters caused by vitreous syneresis or posterior vitreous detachment. Most will fade over time and become less annoying or noticeable. Learning relaxation techniques may hasten the neurologic adaptation to persistent eye floaters.
Can eye floaters be removed with medication?
Although certain herbs, vitamins, home remedies and iodine-containing products have been touted as effective in decreasing eye floaters, none of these have been proven effective in clinical trials. In the unusual cases in which the eye floaters are due to white blood cells in the vitreous from inflammation or infection, appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics will reduce the number of white blood cells. There are no oral or eyedrop medications of value for the reduction of the common type of eye floaters. Abnormal eye floaters due to bleeding in the vitreous from diabetic retinopathy or a retinal tear will decrease as the blood is absorbed. However, the cause of the bleeding must be addressed to prevent additional bleeding or retinal detachment.
Can eye floaters be removed with surgery?
Breaking up of eye floaters by the use of a YAG laser has been advocated by some ophthalmologists, but there is no evidence that this is both safe and effective. The use of a laser also poses significant risks to the vision in what is otherwise a healthy eye. The vitreous itself can also be surgically removed by a procedure called vitrectomy. This involves multiple incisions into the eye and is used in situations in which there is a large amount of non-clearing blood or inflammatory debris within the eye. Vitrectomy for the treatment of the common type of eye floaters due to vitreous syneresis or posterior vitreous detachment carries with it a significant risk of cataract formation or retinal detachment. In the past few years, use of smaller caliber instrumentation for vitrectomy and the performance of partial vitrectomy for vitreous floaters has reduced, but not eliminated those risks.
Can eye floaters be prevented?
There is no known way to prevent normal eye floaters. Eye floaters as a result of injuries can be avoided by wearing safety glasses when working with power tools or protective eyewear when participating in certain sports. The incidence of eye floaters from vitreous hemorrhage in diabetic retinopathy can be reduced by improved control of hyperglycemia.
What is the prognosis for eye floaters?
The prognosis for normal eye floaters is good. Well over 90% of people with floaters are not bothered by their presence.

Occupations* chapter.
I'm feeling frisky.
Halloween isn't just for kids and women. Men, you better dress up too!
You have a school girl fantasy? That's nice, but us girls have a fire fighter fantasy. If you want me to dress up like your sexy nurse, you better be ready return the favor as my sexy surgeon.
Here is a list of hot costumes that you can wear on Halloween… and save em for later in the bedroom as well. It's a Win/Win!
Doctor! Doctor! Give me the news! I've got a bad case of lovin' you! – Robert Palmer. Yes, the Doctor costume. Whether you sport the lab coat, the scrubs or the OB-GYN badge… the ladies will come. We can't help but want to live out our McDreamy fantasy. You can't go wrong here.
Ohhhhhh Fireman! Strong and sexy and running into a burning building to save the family kitty. You can't help but love a fireman. They don't give you speeding tickets, they save your life. These are the good guys. Put this costume on though and you might just be starting fires rather then putting them out.
I don't know if this is a real occupation, but I'm going to go with it. It's part cowboy, part outlaw/law dude. Either way, I'm digging it. Any type of cowboy is good for me. This is hot. Wear it. For me. Tell me I've been a bad bad cowgirl.
Up until recently, I would say stay far away from cop costumes. However, I had a man play this act very, very, right with me. I was a bad inmate… but he was a very bad cop. It worked. I recommend it. Either way it will be fun to see people look at you twice on Halloween, unsure of weather you are the real deal or not. Play it up and have fun.
There's a silent respect for pilots, unlike the forced respect you get from cops. I always had a sweet spot for pilots. Also, after many women watched the recent Bachelor, it may just be the ideal time to whip our your wings. See who wants to join your mile high club.
These are some fun, classic, sexy occupational costumes for men. I've got plenty more where this came from. Check out FrightCatalog.com because if these costumes don't do it for you, we've got a million other ones that will!
Happy Haunting!

Halloween Props
The effort put into a haunted house can make or break parties. Costume and makeup can only go so far. A truly frightful party needs decor to set the mood. A few pumpkins and some cobweb isn't going to do it. Without the right assortment of Halloween Props and Decorations your guests and trick-or-treaters will be left feeling unsatisfied and bored - the total opposite of what October 31st is all about. When you are the haunted host, the impression you make should be nightmarish at best.
To optimize the look and feel of your party, think about it from a guests' point-of-view. The first thing they see is the outside of your house, so that is where you need to initially focus your creative efforts. If you have a lawn, turn it into a festering pit of zombies attempting to break free from the earth, or a nest of spiders with human body parts caught in the web. You want people driving by to see it and say, "That house is spooky."
Next, you need to provide your guests with that special "Wow!" moment when they enter your house. Fear is all about creating an environment where individuals feel like they are no longer living among the living, but it takes a special combination of lighting effects, wall props, music, and home décor to fully captivate your partying ghouls. You want your guests' hands to drop off your doorknob the moment their eyes fill with the luscious sights of your spooky Halloween props.
Now that your guests are in your house, you need to keep the thrill going. If you have a garage, turn it into a 'body shop,' and decorate your car with bloody handprints. The kitchen and the bathroom are also a great place to cause a fright. The environment should intrigue some and disturb others, creating an effect where people find it almost impossible not to comment on something in your ghoulish house.
When it comes down to it, there are no actual rules for regulating a room's vibe or spookiness. You are the sole creator, the one who decides what does and does not make the horror cut. Guests can sense when someone had fun with the decorating process – they feel it from the moment they step into the room. As long as you had a blast, your creative energy will carry over into your guests, who will appreciate the time and effort that went into creating their party environment. It's that simple.

Updated Nov. 9 with information from Green Bay and Superior dioceses.
Pope Benedict XVI has made an "unprecedented request" to Catholics by asking that Catholic Bishops throughout the world, and all parishes and religious communities observe a "Vigil for All Nascent Human Life" on Saturday, November 27, the vigil of the first Sunday of Advent. Pope Benedict XVI will observe the vigil at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and has asked all Diocesan Bishops and the faithful to join him.
The following vigils will be held in the Wisconsin area. We urge everyone to attend if at all possible:
– Archdiocese of Milwaukee: Archbishop Listecki will preside at Evening Prayer, Rosary and Benediction on Saturday, November 27, at 5 p.m. hosted by St. Anthony Church, Ninth & Mitchell, Milwaukee. Sacred music will be led by Lee Erickson, choir master St. Anthony Congregation and Director of the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus. For more information and a flyer, click here.
– Diocese of Madison: With joyful hope, Bishop Robert Morlino invites the faithful of the Diocese of Madison to observe this Vigil with him, in communion with the Holy Father, at St. Patrick's Church of the Cathedral Parish on November 27, at 7 p.m., so we may together join our fasting and prayers with those around the world, "as a cry of all Humanity, rising up to God the Father, Giver of all good things, in order that every human life be respected, protected and loved."
– Diocese of Green Bay: In response to the Holy Father's request, Bishop David Ricken will celebrate the Vigil for Life and First Vespers of Advent at the St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in Green Bay on November 27 at 6 p.m. The Vigil will consist of Evening Prayer and the Rosary and will conclude with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
– Diocese of Superior: Bishop Peter Christensen will celebrate 5 p.m. Mass on November 27 at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Superior. Mass will be followed by solemn exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, recitation of the Joyful mysteries of the Rosary and Benediction. For more information, click here.
We cannot emphasize enough the significance of the Pope's request. Life is under attack all around the world, and only through prayer will hearts be softened and lives spared. Please attend!
We will post information from the Diocese of La Crosse when we receive it.

Topic: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Fact Sheet: Pregnancy and Irritable Bowel Syndrome183
By: Margaret M. Heitkemper, RN, PhD
Does pregnancy exacerbate gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in women with functional bowel disorders, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) specifically? This question is relevant for a number of reasons. First, women of reproductive age represent a significant portion of patients with IBS. Second, there is evidence that reproductive cycling (i.e., menstrual cycle) influences symptom reports and bowel transit. This suggests that ovarian hormones, which are elevated in pregnancy, may contribute to GI symptoms. Third, little is known about effective treatment strategies for pregnant women with IBS. This report is intended to address what is known about the potential role of pregnancy in the symptoms of IBS.Topics: Gender, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

Fact Sheet: Hypnotherapy for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders186
Unfortunately, the word "hypnosis" often conjures up a whole variety of frequently quite negative connotations even within the medical profession. Many equate the phenomenon with the mind being taken over by the hypnotist and with loss of control by the recipient, which needless to say, is completely erroneous. As a consequence of this, the whole subject is surrounded by a cloud of mystery, which regrettably is often encouraged by those who practice the technique.

Fact Sheet: Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Unrecognized Severity194
Unfortunately, irritable bowel is still regarded by both the medical profession and the unaffected population at large, as more of a nuisance than anything particularly serious. In addition, it is frequently dismissed as a purely psychological condition that should not be taken too seriously, especially as it is not life threatening. As a result of this rather negative perception, patients often feel stigmatized, trivialized, and isolated.

Fact Sheet: Is it IBS or Something Else?195
Physicians can usually identify irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) from patients' symptoms. Many patients additionally require only routine blood tests and a colon evaluation, and some require no tests at all to secure the diagnosis. However, some patients worry that they could have another cause for their symptoms, especially when symptoms are severe and chronic, or they know other people who they think had similar symptoms but a different disorder. Occasionally, another medical problem mimics IBS symptoms. This discussion focuses on how IBS is diagnosed and distinguished from other disorders. Reviewed and updated 2009.

(Updated 1/7/14 at 10:33 p.m.)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It could cost up to $400,000, but the school board says it's worth it. Tuesday night the Duval County Public School Board voted to change the name of Forrest High School to Westside High School in what could be a costly switch.
The vote ended the debate that has been going on for decades, quietly. There wasn't even a discussion at the school board meeting on the name change that's dominated the conversation for the past year.
With a simple vote, Nathan B. Forrest High School became Westside High.
"It has been a controversy for many years, and I know that. So I'm not going to grieve over a name change," said Lynn Coarely.
The school's namesake has been at the center of a very public debate for the past year. A Change.Org petition with over 160,000 signatures calls Nathan B. Forrest a slave trader and KKK member.
Opponents of the change say Jacksonville is trying to wipe out the city's history.
"The alumni, we're over it. It's going to be changed. And most of the people feel the current student body doesn't deserve the name," said Joan Cooper.
Superintendent Nikkoli Vitti said students favored naming the school Westside High 2-to-1, and the board voted unanimously to change it.
Cooper said more than the name could be changing in the school district. "Come election time, it should be interesting."
The School Board says they will try to solicit private donations to pay for the name change, which will take effect in July of 2014.

In a deer drive, a party of hunters splits into two groups. One group lines up along the edge of the game cover - they're called the posters, and they don't move from their assigned positions. The other group are the drivers. They position themselves on the opposite side of the game cover and walk toward the posters. While walking through the cover, the drivers flush out game animals to the posters. If the drivers move slowly, the animals will also move slowly out of the cover. Usually drivers do not shoot at the animal.
This technique is quite effective for cover that is not too thick. Each of the posters must clearly identify the animal they want to target before shouldering their firearm. The posters have to be careful and know their zone of fire. It's important to wear a blaze orange hat and vest and know where the other posters are located. Always check local laws before you hunt.

Char of Grand Junction, CO - April, 22 2011:
This is an excellent boot if you are willing to pay the money fot it. It is very comfortable and offers a lot of support. It will last a long time. It's great for rocky and aggressive terrain.Mike of Eagle Point, OR - March, 16 2012:
These boots are the most comfortable ones I've ever had right out of the box. They are nearly perfect, no heel slippage and room for my toes. They will increase my ability to hike deeper into the wilderness on my Elk hunts.Chad of Issaquah, DC - November, 19 2012:
LOVE these boots! Purchased for hunting in the Cascade mountains and San Juan Islands. The fit and support these boots provide are tremendous! Feet have stayed dry and the boots provide ample warmth. As long as they hold up for many seasons to come, I will really be impressed!Bob of Bluffdale, UT - September, 30 2013:
I really enjoy these boots. They come highly recommended by some personal friends that have used them extensively. I am still breaking them in by wearing to work a couple days a week. The only issue I am concerned with is that i am told the soles are soft to give better traction on rocks but tend to wear out rather soon.John of Mesa, AZ - January, 20 2011:
My favorite boot... I have hunted and backpacked in this boot all over Arizona and the Ashley Wilderness of Utah. It offers amazing ankle support and foot protection without being cumbersome and clunky. The K talon sole bites into all types of terrain so slipping is not really an issue that I have had even on snow covered rocks. The insert that comes with the boot is also amazing this is the only boot I have owned in which I have left the factory insert in the boot. The boots have been through a lot in the year that I have owned them and they still look brand new. They're more expensive than other brands however at the end of a long hike or hunt I don't mind since I know my feet will not be stone bruised or blistered since the boot offers such great support and protection. I highly recomend this boot to anyone who hunts out West. On a side note they fit true to size.

- Abstract
- How to teach the Renaissance in the light of postmodern theory? Clearly there is more at stake than simply co-opting postmodern concepts, or framing 'the Renaissance' in terms of the formation of modernity and its fragmentation in the postmodern situation. The textuality of history, the historicity of reading, the anxiety of influence, the unpopularity of canonical literature, the contexture of subject positions---all inform an approach to such an endeavour. New historicism, cultural poetics, materialist feminism, women's history, provide ideologies, conceptual frameworks. What of the mode of discourse?

Working with Git
From PostgreSQL wiki
This page collects various wisdom on working with the PostgreSQL Git repository. There are also Other Git Repositories you might work with.
First off, I'd suggest printing out a copy of the Working with CVS wiki page, and not read it. Burn it, it's a great symbolic gesture.
Getting Started
A simple way to get started might look like this:
git clone git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git cd postgresql git checkout -b my-cool-feature $EDITOR git commit -a git diff master my-cool-feature | filterdiff --format=context > ../my-cool-feature.patch
Note that
git checkout -b my-cool-feature creates a new branch and checks it out at the same time. Typically, you would develop each feature in a separate branch.
See the documentation and tutorials at http://git.or.cz/ for a more detailed Git introduction. For a more detailed lesson, check out http://progit.org and maybe get a hardcopy to help support the site.
You may wish to put the following in your .git/info/exclude GitExclude
PostgreSQL developers have traditionally preferred context diffs (
diff -c) over unified diffs (
diff -u). At least some major committers who you will probably have to run your patch by heavily prefer context diffs. Bizarrely, Git doesn't easily produce context diffs. So there is some need for fiddling around, either using the
filterdiff utility as above (from the patchutils distribution) or using the method described in Context diffs with Git below.
Keeping your master branch local synchronized
First, add the origin as a remote. You only need to do this once:
git remote add origin git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
Next, fetch from your public git repository:
git fetch origin master
Merge any new patches from your public repository:
git merge FETCH_HEAD
Merge in any changes from the main branch:
git fetch origin master git merge FETCH_HEAD
Now check that it still compiles, passes regression, etc. Make sure you've invoked ./configure, and then:
make check make maintainer-clean
Assuming all that's good, do a dry run.
git push --dry-run origin master
If that's happy, push it out to your public repository.
git push origin master
If not, fix any merge failures, do an other dry run, and push.
Tracking Other Branches
Lets say you're happy tracking master, but you'd really like to track any one of the other potential branches at git.postgresql.org
git remote add <super-fun-branch> git://git.postgresql.org/super-fun-branch.git git fetch super-fun-branch git checkout super-fun-branch #this will stage your remote branch for a local checkout git checkout -b super-fun-branch-name #the name can be wahtever you choose
Now you have a local branch within your local git repo tracking a different branches history. Most importantly, you can now push to that repo if you have to without making an explicit clone to track the history. It's pretty much impossible to not share some common history with the master branch.
Using Back Branches
Since the git repository contains branches for each of the major versions of PostgreSQL, it's easy to work on the latest code from an older version instead of the current one. Here's how you might list the possibilities and checkout an older version:
git branch -r git checkout -b REL8_3_STABLE origin/REL8_3_STABLE
Note that if you've already checked out and used a later version, you might need to clean up some of the files left behind by it. It's suggested to run:
make maintainer-clean
To get rid of as many of those as possible. You might need to delete some files left behind after that anyway before git will allow you to do the checkout (src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.y can be a problem with the specific example above).
Testing a patch
This is a typical setup to review a patch text file, as typically sent by e-mail:
git checkout -b feature-to-review git apply --reject --whitespace=fix feature.patch
If the patch fails to apply, there will be file.rej files left behind showing the part that didn't apply. If your directory tree is clean of build information, you can easily find these later using:
git status
Context diffs with Git
Copy git-external-diff into libexec/git-core/ of your git installation and configure git to use that wrapper with:
git config [--global] diff.external git-external-diff
--global makes the configuration global for your user - otherwise it is just configured for the current repository.
For every command which displays diffs in some way you can use the parameter "--[no-]-ext-diff" to enable respectively disable using the external diff command.
For the git diff command --ext-diff is enabled by default - for any other command like git log -p or git format-patch it is not!
This method should work on all platforms supported by git.
If you don't want to configure the external wrapper permanently or you want to overwrite it you can also git like:
export GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=git-external-diff git diff --[no-]ext-diff
Options to diff
When using the above wrapper you can override the options for diff by specifying the environment variable DIFF_OPTS - it defaults to -pcd. Also, postgres uses 4 column tab spacing (see also [1]).
export DIFF_OPTS=-pcd export LESS=-x4
Publishing Your Work
If you develop a feature over a longer period of time, you want to allow for intermediate review. The traditional approach to that has been emailing huge patches around. The more advanced approach that we want to try (see also Peter Eisentraut's blog entry) is that you push your Git branches to a private area on
git.postgresql.org, where others can pull your work, operate on it using the familiar Git tools, and perhaps even send you improvements as Git-formatted patches. See the git.postgresql.org site for instructions on how to sign up, and how to use the repository. You may need to eventually create a patch via e-mail as part of officially Submitting a Patch.
Removing a Branch
Once your feature has been committed to the PostgreSQL CVS, you can usually remove your local feature branch. This works as follows:
# switch to a different branch git checkout master git branch -D my-cool-feature
Working with the users/foo/postgres.git
One option while requesting a project at git.postgresql.org is to have a clone of the main postgresql repository.
That is very nice feature, but how do you sync the upstream code?!
One method is to create a git clone in your own repository and add a new remote to handle the syncing :
# clone your repos git clone ssh://firstname.lastname@example.com/users/foo/postgres.git my_postgres
# add a new remote git remote add pgmaster git://git.postgresql.org/git/postgresql.git
# track some old versions git checkout -b REL8_3_STABLE origin/REL8_3_STABLE git checkout -b REL8_4_STABLE origin/REL8_4_STABLE
# change the remote of master and our old versions tracked git config branch.REL8_3_STABLE.remote pgmaster git config branch.REL8_4_STABLE.remote pgmaster git config branch.master.remote pgmaster
# pull from postgres official git for each branch # and finally push to origin git checkout master git pull git push origin git checkout REL8_3_STABLE git pull git push origin git checkout REL8_4_STABLE git pull git push origin
This way, PostgreSQL is easy to sync for each branch. Pulling from the official and pushing to your own repository.
Create your own branch and work as usual. Users who have a local clone of the postgresql.git can add your branch in their repository and happily merge, just as you do.
Using the Web Interface
Try the web interface at http://git.postgresql.org/. It offers browsing, "blame" functionality, snapshots, and other advanced features, and it is much faster than CVSweb. Even if you don't care for Git or version control systems, you will probably enjoy the web interface.
RSS Feeds
The Git service provides RSS feeds that report about commits to the repositories. Some people may find this to be an alternative to subscribing to the pgsql-committers mailing list. The URL for the RSS feed from the PostgreSQL repository is http://git.postgresql.org/?p=postgresql.git;a=rss. Other options are available; they can be found via the home page of the web interface.
PostgreSQL Style
The PostgreSQL source uses 4-character tabs, making the output from
git diff look odd. You can fix that by putting this into your.
git/config file:
[core] pager = less -x4

Comments On Jul 31, 2011:When I was a younger man and raced regularly, I always wore Answer products. However after being away from riding for over 15 years and coming back, I bought Answer products again (pants, jersey, chest protection). My complaint is with the chest protector, specifically the buckles. They are flimsy and break readily. They are grossly under-engineered and failed in just over a year's worth of riding. I haven't gotten any help from Answer on this, in fact they haven't bothered to reply to my E-mail inquiry. Too bad such a nice product is hampered by "cheesy" buckles. I'll be buying a different brand... probably Fox, you know what you're getting with them!

Neo-Classicist John William Waterhouse (1849 – 1917) created lavish works imbued with lifelike details and an otherworldly, haunting sensuality. Born in Italy and raised in Britain, Waterhouse merged Victorian narrative with romantic Pre-Raphaelite fantasy in his work, drawing inspiration from Greek myths, Shakespeare, Arthurian legends, Homer, Tennyson and Keats. A member of the Royal Academy, Waterhouse often painted dramatic scenes emphasizing powerful or tragic women. He created more than 200 paintings, and was one of the few artists to attain fame and fortune in his lifetime.
