Public safety equipment, homeless shelter on list
San Diego Flush with a projected budget surplus of $3.6 million, San Diego should spend at least some of that money on new police and fire equipment, keeping the winter homeless shelter open through June and financing a plan to remove cars from Balboa Park's Plaza de Panama, Mayor Bob Filner said Wednesday.
His spending recommendations were included in the city's midyear budget report for the current fiscal year that was presented Wednesday to the council's Budget Committee. Filner elaborated on them during a wide-ranging meeting with members of the media.
Unlike the previous Plaza de Panama plan that was recently shot down in court, Filner's proposal, at a cost of $500,000, would be far less than the $45 million price tag on the plan advocated by Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs.
Jacobs had proposed a bypass off the Cabrillo Bridge and an 800-space parking garage south of the Spreckels Organ Pavilion. He hoped to clear all cars and parking from the center of the park.
Filner is asking the City Council to approve a $500,000 plan that would remove parking spaces in the plaza, located outside the San Diego Museum of Art, but allow traffic to continue in some fashion. Handicapped and valet parking, he said, would have to be relocated.
The Cabrillo Bridge is scheduled to be closed to motorists during the first four months of next year as Caltrans makes modifications for earthquake safety. Pedestrians would continue to have access, and that change would provide an opportunity to measure the impact of banning cars from the Prado as Jacobs had in mind.
A few months later the centennial of the park's Panama-California Exposition will begin and much of the park's center will be turned over to pedestrians and special events.
"Because it's not a permanent thing, it can be an experiment," Filner said. "… If it doesn't work, you change it."
He said his ideas will be part of a plan he will present to both the City Council and surrounding neighbors in the next few weeks.
Among Filner's specific proposals for spending $3.6 million of the projected surplus are:
• $1.1 million for police equipment, including gas masks, helmets, shields, shotguns and body armor vests
• $500,000 for the Fire-Rescue Department to replace a lifeguard cliff rescue vehicle
• $400,000 for two downtown public restrooms in the East Village
• $300,000 to support the Balboa Park Centennial Celebration
• $300,000 to extend the emergency winter homeless shelter for three additional months.
Filner made no mention of the projected $40 million shortfall he says the city's $1.1 billion operating budget faces in the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Filner's predecessor, Jerry Sanders, had projected a surplus of $5 million for the next fiscal year. But shortly before he left office, the city's independent budget analyst said the city could face a deficit as high as $84 million.
An analysis by Filner's office pegged the deficit at about $40 million.
The surprise surplus in the current year stems in large part from surging property tax revenues, according to the Mayor's Office. The city is actually spending more than it had planned, but unanticipated revenues are even higher, resulting in the small surplus.

Whenever I have an opportunity to acquaint new people with our local history collection there are certain items and sets that I can't help but point out. One of these sets is Kalamazoo County Records of Soldiers & Sailors in the Great War. This is actually two sets of scrapbooks; a seven volume set for World War I and a 20 volume set for World War II. They were put together during the Wars to keep track of everyone from Kalamazoo County who served. Each page of the scrapbooks is a form with space for the person's name, address, personal and family information as well as their war record. Newspaper articles are often pasted to the backside containing further information about the service of the soldier or sailor. While not every form is completely filled out, valuable information can be obtained for each person remembered in these scrapbooks. As we get further and further from these monumental events in our nation's history it is comforting to know that the individuals from our area who took part will continue to be known and remembered through our collection.

Faith, Hope and Friendship—Glenn's Story
Glenn & Ron worked together for years each left to go different ways and Ron became a consultant to Glenn. Glenn eventually became a client. They went fishing together. They did normal things that "Guys" do—both married.
Ron's wife got cancer and through treatment, beat the dreaded disease. She eventually died accidentally, but this is Glenn's Story.Ron & Glenn continued fishing locally and even to Branson for various outings.
Years passed and Glenn eventually got cancer. Ron consulted with Glenn in business and retirement and became a trusted advisor and friend. Glenn remembered what Ron & his wife went through and trusted his advice even on cancer. What worked, what didn't, how to cope were concerns for Glenn.Glenn's cancer was going along pretty good then took a turn for the worse.He was undergoing Radiation, Chemotherapy and needed a final operation to clear everything.
Things kept getting worse. Glenn was admitted to the Hospital and kept getting worse. He was admitted to intensive care and nothing seemed to be working.Glenn, eventually seemed to lose Hope and "Gave Up". He was dieing. Family only admitted in the room, several Doctors told the family that he is not going to last too much longer. Glenn is a Christian and church officials came for a final visit—he is essence had his last rights.
What could I do? I had to visit. I had to express concern. I went out and bought a new Fishing Rod & Reel to take to Glenn in the Hospital. With Rod & Reel in hand, I came to the room—I was told family only—I said, I'd only take a moment.Glenn was in the bed with tubes all over his body, no color in his skin, and looked as if it were his final time in life.
His wife, son & daughter, a doctor were in the room when I entered. They all knew me and I said I'll only take a moment. I told Glenn My thoughts and prayers are with you and I brought this Rod & Reel to tell you to get better and to say when you're ready, I'll be ready to go. We've got a lot of fishing yet to do. I hung the Rod & Reel on his bed, told him my thoughts and prayers are with you, I really want you to get better---and I left.
Most everyone was stunned, but Glenn started to respond. He smiled, reached for the Rod & Reel. Over the next 2-3 days there was a remarkable improvement in Glenn. He had to explain to each Doctor, Nurse, and visitor what this was and what he was going to do with it. Within 7 days he was strong enough for the Operation. 3 weeks later he was released to go home. Glenn, his wife, son, & daughter, say that I saved his life. The hospital staff says that Glenn had a remarkable turnaround and couldn't explain how or what happened.
What I did was to give Glenn some Hope and something yet to do. It's not over yet.His faith was somewhat restored and this bit of friendship seemed to really help.It was miracle like---it just happened.
Glenn is healthy and living a good life in retirement. He works out and still goes fishing. He became very active in his church –helping people. Today, Glenn will tell you that he had a vision and it was all going to get better and for him not to worry.
We all have these stories to tell and we can learn from each other. The church helps us in times of need but it is up to us to help our friends, family and those in need.

The government has been challenged to seriously embark on the construction of an oil pipeline connecting Dar es Salaam port and up-country regions in order to reduce skyrocketing prices of imported petroleum oil products in the country.
An economist-cum-lecturer at Mzumbe University's School of Business, Dr. Honest Ngowi, made the suggestion here recently at a forum organized by Hakikazi Catalyst, an Arusha-based civil society organization.
The forum was meant to discuss key issues contributing to inflation and high cost of living in Tanzania.
According to him, it is too costly to rely on tankers to transport petroleum products from Dar es Salaam to up-country regions.
"To me a pipeline is the cheapest means of transport for oil than other means available in the country," Dr. Ngowi said.
He suggested the need to change the means of transport and embark on the construction of a pipeline as in the case of Zambia through the Tanzania and Zambia Pipeline (TANZAM), which is used to pump oil from Dar es Salaam port to Ndola in Zambia.
"Using tankers is what makes the prices of petroleum products high as lorry owners have to top up their profit, but if use a pipeline we'll be saving a lot and hence be able to reduce the price of the products," he said.
Citing an example, Dr. Ngowi said: "Transporting fuel from Dar to Mwanza using tankers makes the prices of the products very high, forcing the end-user to buy them at a higher price."
He said the final prices of oil products transported by lorries were influenced by a a number of factors including poor road infrastructure and owners having to top up prices to make a profit.
Improving the railway transport system would be another important step in pushing down the prices of goods in the country.
Tanzania relies on two railway systems - Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) and the central railway line, both of which are not fully utilized.
Six years ago, the government had a plan to invest in a Dar es Salaam-Mwanza-Kigoma oil pipeline project as well as a crude oil refinery with a capacity of 200,000 barrels a day, both worth USD 2.6bn (approx.3.02tr/-).
The project was given to a consortium of foreign companies led by Qatar-based Noor Oil and Industrial Technology (NOIT) Limited to construct the Dar es Salaam-Mwanza oil pipeline project, with an extension to Kigoma region, but since then nothing has been implemented.

I'm proud to say that we've announced Maya 2013 and all the other cool Autodesk Media and Entertainment products. If you like high level details, please refer to the 2013 Digital Entertainment Creation Software Portfolio announcement. I think the most exciting part of this announcement is that we now have the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite Ultimate edition available. The Ultimate edition provides Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage, MotionBuilder, Mudbox and SketchBook Designer in one package. To facilitate all these products being together, we've made the following improvements:
Before we get to the Maya 2013 details, I wanted to share a couple of videos of the cool things the other products in the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite Ultimate edition have added. First let's look at the HumanIK interop support in 3ds Max.
Next up is CrowdFX in Softimage which also has a 1 click workflow with Maya.
And SketchBook Pro Designer, if you haven't seen it, is pretty cool.
Maya 2013 introduces the start of something we're calling Open Data. Open Data is about working with and managing complex data with natural, high performance workflows. Based on some of the comments I've seen already, it's important to note that this is work that we see benefiting all Maya users - not just large studios. It can be some technically challenging stuff and we've tried to approach it in a way that small studios can get access to tools that, in the past, only big studios had access to by developing for themselves.
In the rendering realm, we see a lot of improvements to Viewport 2.0 and mental ray for Maya has been turned into a true plug-in. This update to mental ray makes it easier for the rendering developers at Autodesk and nVidia to talk to each other and improve mental ray in Maya. For other renderers, this improves the hooks that they have into Maya.
We've done a bunch of other things, most notably with Nucleus nHair and Animation - on to the details!
Node Editor: The Node Editor presents an editable schematic of the dependency graph, displaying nodes and the connections between their attributes. It allows you to view, modify and create new node connections.
Alembic Caching: The Alembic file format is an open-source format developed for exchanging complex 3D geometry data. Alembic files are highly portable and application-independent so they can be shared, processed, and played back by many content creation applications. Alembic caches provide several performance improvements, including accelerated scene loading of large scenes, faster playback of complex character animation, and real-time play back of geometry data with topology changes. Alembic files also let you share large scenes between various areas of a production pipeline without the large memory overhead of fully editable scene files.
GPU Cache Node: The GPU Cache node draws the contents of an Alembic file in a light-weight, non-editable form directly on the GPU. This allows you to create more complex scenes in Maya without taking a large performance hit.
Attribute Editor: Now you can customize the Attribute Editor window in several different ways.
Custom Attribute Editor templates: You can edit the way attributes are displayed in the Attribute Editor by creating XML-based template files for specific nodes and node types. A template can have one or more views associated with it. Each view describes a particular display layout and can be used to tailor the interface for different purposes.
Custom callbacks: You can use MEL or Python based callbacks to link an attribute to a control or a complex script. Using the <description language ="cb"> tag in your custom Attribute Editor template lets you specify a callback command and links your callback to an attribute.
Use node type filtering to improve Attribute Editor performance: When making a selection in Maya, having the Attribute Editor open may cause performance delays if too many nodes related to the selection are displayed as tabs. To avoid a slowdown, you can use node type filtering to customize which related nodes are displayed in the Attribute Editor.
Creating attributes using attribute patterns: You can create dynamic or extension attributes using attribute patterns. An attribute pattern is a description of the dynamic or extension attributes that can be added to any specific node, or node type. Using this feature, you no longer need to create each attribute using individual addAttr or addExtension commands.
Editing the file path in the file browser: You can now edit the file path in the Look in field of the file browser and use its auto completion functionality.
File referencing options in the Outliner: A new Reference Node display option in the Outliner makes it easier to locate and identify all the loaded and unloaded file references in your scene. You can access the option in the Outliner by selecting Display > Reference Nodes. The Reference Nodes display option is on by default.
Create and manage file references: New Reference menu items in the Outliner let you create and manage file references without opening the Reference Editor. In the Outliner, click a reference node or referenced object to access file referencing commands.
Allow Referenced Animation Curves to be Edited: You can now edit animation curves from referenced files. These changes are managed by the reference node like other reference edits. You can modify an animation curve, such as changing tangent types or editing keyframes, then export the updates as reference edits to an offline file.
Updated reference node Attribute Editor: An updated reference node Attribute Editor displays information about reference nodes, such as file path, namespace, and sharing details.
Operations on multiple references: Using the file referencing options in the Outliner, you can now perform referencing operations on multiple references including loading, unloading and reloading, importing, locking and unlocking.
Preview unloaded content: A new Preview unloaded content option lets you view the hierarchy of the unloaded references in your scene without loading the reference in the scene.
Archiving unloaded references: An option has been added to scene archiving that lets you include files associated with unloaded references in the scene archive.
Merge into selected namespace: A new Merge into selected namespace option lets you choose to merge referenced or imported object namespaces with a namespace that exists in the parent scene. When duplicate namespaces occur, the namespaces are merged and duplicate object names are
incrementally suffixed with a number. This new option lets you keep duplicate namespaces and avoids an accumulation of new namespaces each time your referenced or imported objects have the same name.
Live character streaming: The options in the new Live Connection window (> Edit > Live Connection or File > Send to MotionBuilder > Live Connection) are an extension of the Send to commands that were introduced in Maya 2012. Now you can send your HumanIK defined character to MotionBuilder and establish a live streaming connection. This new workflow lets you drive your skeleton or Custom rig with motion capture data, so you can previsualize your retargeting result before baking the final animation from MotionBuilder into your Maya scene.
Thanks to Christian Bloch at www.hdrlabs.com for the Tokyo Big Sight environment!
Improved import and export with ATOM file format: You can now share and reuse animation more efficiently using Maya's ATOM (Animation Transfer Object Model). The .atom file type and its associated import/export options let you save specific poses or animation sequences, then easily reload them onto other objects. ATOM options let you set precisely which animation to reuse and how you want to import and export it. After exporting, you can import animation based on the character hierarchy, name matching, or using a template file as a filter.
Trax Clip matching: When manipulating clips of animation in the Trax Editor, new clip matching tools let you define an offset object to better align the movements in your animation sequence.
More easily set relative or absolute clip offsets: Updated clip Offset settings are now included in the Create Clip Options (Animate > Create Clip > ) and in the Trax Editor context-sensitive menu, letting you more easily view and set whether channels have an absolute or relative offset from the previous clip.
Retime animation: In the Graph Editor, the Retime Tool lets you directly adjust the timing of key movements in your animations. This tool provides a new type of timing manipulator in the graph view, letting you shift key moments in time, or warp entire sequences to make them occur faster or slower. For animators working in a pipeline with multiple Autodesk applications, similar animation retiming tools are available.
Converting CAT to HumanIK: The new Send to commands in Maya and 3ds Max let you convert a CAT bipedal character into a Maya compatible HumanIK character. This direct connection lets you transfer your character structure, definition, and animation from 3ds Max into an FK representation on a HumanIK skeleton in Maya. Any changes or new animation that you create in Maya can be updated on your original CAT character, so you can continue to animate in the context of your 3ds Max scene.
Stepped Tangent preview mode: The new Stepped Tangent preview playback mode lets you temporarily set all keys to display with Stepped tangents, switching easily from Spline to Stepped and back. Play your animation in this mode to get a quick view of object positions as they hit each keyframe.
Keyframe and Tangent marking menu updates: The marking menus available for editing keyframes and tangents have been updated to allow manipulation of motion trails, keys, and tangents directly in the scene view.
Camera Sequencer improvements: You can now create an ubercam for camera shots that are keyed with weighted curves. In addition, sequences with gaps between camera shots are now handled correctly.
Improved baking options: New options in the Character ControlsBake menu let you bake animation to a HumanIK skeleton, Control rig, or Custom rig. The Bake menu updates dynamically to display options that reflect the current character's state.
Playblast updated: Maya now supports H.264 Quicktime output on Windows 64-bit. In addition, audio and multi-track audio are supported.
Unified Character Controls: The new Character Controls let you perform multiple character setup tasks in a single window. As you set up your character, the previously independent HumanIK tools appear as tabs in the consolidated Character Controls, simplifying the character set up process. The Skeleton, Definition, Controls, and Custom Rig tabs appear as you select options from the Start pane, Source menu, or Character Controls menu button.
Start pane: Begin the character setup process using the Start pane in the Character Controls window. Whether you are creating a new HumanIK skeleton from scratch, defining an existing skeleton, or adding a Control rig or Custom rig mapping to your character, this pane is designed to guide you through the setup process.
Source management: The new Source menu provides feedback about the type of source driving your character. The Source menu is available in the Character Controls window at all times, regardless of the HumanIK tool that is active.
Custom Rig Mapping: The new Custom Rig tool gives you a visual interface for mapping your non-HumanIK rigs. Designed to streamline the mapping and retargeting process, this tool lets you map and retarget bipedal HumanIK character animation to and from a Custom rigged character. You can define your rig using the familiar click-and-assign workflow. Other controls let you save and load mapping templates and adjust the offsets between a Custom rig and the character's skeleton joints.
Customizable character layout: You can now customize the character layout in the Character Controls to fit your character. The layouts for the Controls and Custom Rig tabs are available as user-editable XML files, located in the new CharacterControls directory. Editing these files lets you create custom layouts. For example, you can replace the background image or change the position, quantity, color, and size of cells.
Improved controls for roll bone behavior: Updated Roll properties for the HumanIK skeleton definition are now available in the Attribute Editor to give you improved control over roll bone behavior as you rotate character limbs. See Define roll bone behavior.
Stance pose on body parts: Now you can force a stance pose ( > Edit > Controls > Stance Pose) on selected body parts. This functionality is useful during pose-to-pose character animation when only specific body parts need to be reset to create a new pose.
Continuous rig align: When manipulating your character in Full Body or Body Part mode, the IK and FK effectors of your character's Control rig now appear synchronized. By default, the IK and FK solutions visually merge to show the final solving of the character's skeleton. This feature replaces the Align Rig After Time Change option.
Heat Map Skin Binding: In the Smooth Bind Options window, the Bind Method options now include a Heat Map method. This method uses a heat diffusion technique to distribute weights, and generally gives better default results than the existing Closest Hierarchy and Closest Distance binding methods. Heat Map binding sets initial weights based on each influence object inside the mesh acting as a heat source, emitting weight values onto the surrounding
mesh. Higher (hotter) weight values occur closest to the object, and dissipate to lower (cooler) values as you move away from the object.
Paint weights for nonlinear deformers: You can now paint weights for the Bend, Flare, Sine, Squash, Twist, and Wave deformers. Select the new Edit Deformer > Paint Nonlinear Weights Tool menu item to use a Maya Artisan brush and paint point weights on your deformed geometry.
Move Weights improvements: When moving weights (using the Move Weights button in the Paint Skin Weights Tool or Skin > Edit Smooth Skin > Move Weights To Influences), the first selected influence now acts as the source influence and all other selected influences act as targets. If an influence is locked in the Paint Skin Weights Tool, it will not receive weights when you move weights from neighboring influences.
Extrude tool improvements: The following improvements have been made to the extrude tool: Allows for more precision with the Thickness, Offset and Divisions values; Uses the same precision settings as the Channel Box. Select Edit > Settings > Change Precision to set; Sliders have been removed so you are no longer limited to a maximum or minimum value; Background color added for improved readability; Respects the use of Ctrl and Shift to adjust the speed of changing the values.
Sculpt Geometry Pinch Tool improvements: The new Brush strength slider lets you achieve more pronounced pinching while sculpting your NURBS and polygon surfaces. The Pinch brush algorithm has been improved to provide smoother results.
nHair: The nHair hair generation system has been added to the Nucleus dynamic simulation framework. As part of a Nucleus system, dynamic nHair curves can self-collide and interact with other Nucleus objects, including nParticle, nCloth, and passive collision objects. nHair has many advantages over the previous hair system including: Performance improvements especially for hair systems with a large number of follicles; Nucleus-based solving for collisions and self-collisions that provide better collision accuracy and control; nConstraints that let you create constraints between Nucleus object components; nCaching for saving and playing back hair simulations.
MayaBullet physics simulation: Maya now includes the MayaBullet physics simulation plug-in. Built from the Bullet physics library, the plugin lets you use the Bullet physics engine to create largescale, highly-realistic dynamic and kinematic simulations. MayaBullet simulations can include interacting soft body and rigid body objects, as well as constrained collision objects, all contained in a single dynamic system within Maya.
Fluid nCaching improvements: The Create Fluid Cache Options window now includes a One file per geometry option, which lets you can select multiple fluid objects in your scene and create individual fluid nCache files for each object.
nParticle: A new Post Cache Ramp Evaluation attribute lets you determine how ramp attribute data is evaluated. When on, the ramp output is re-evaluated using the cached input attribute rather than the cached data. This attribute is off by default.
Particle count heads-up display: A new Particle Count heads-up display option lets you display the total number of particles and the number of selected particles (including nParticles and classic particles).
New Viewport 2.0 features: Viewport 2.0 now supports animation and rigging features such as HumanIK, joints, motion paths, ghosting and playblast. Image plane support is also included as well as a new depth peeling transparency algorithm. In addition, support for several other shaders and tools, and polygons, NURBS and dynamics features have been added. Furthermore, Viewport 2.0 now includes widespread improvements in tumble performance of large scenes
and in animation performance with large or complicated scenes.
New render passes added: Two new multi-render passes have been added: UV pass and world position pass. A UV pass converts UV values to R/G values and creates a rasterized version of UV space. Using a UV pass, you can replace textures in 3D renderings as a post-process without the need to track new textures in place. A world position pass converts position (x,y,z) values to R,G,B values. Use the world position pass for relighting workflows in compositing.
Mandelbrot 2D and 3D texture: The new Mandelbrot node allows you to texture your model with the Mandelbrot set. You can create a 2D version of this node (Mandelbrot), a 3D version of this node (Mandelbrot 3D), or shade a fluidShape node using the built-in Mandelbrot texture. The Mandelbrot set is a set of mathematical points in the complex plane, the boundary of which is an interesting fractal shape. Through this node, you can select the Mandelbrot Set, the Julia set, the Mandelbox set and other hybrid evaluations. Using this node, you can add interesting effects to your Mandelbrot set fractal, such as circles, leaves, points, checker patterns, and Pickover stalks. Choose among different shading methods and customize the range of the color values used to represent your
Mandelbrot set points.
New substance textures and functionality: You can now automatically bake a substance texture to disk to render it with mental ray for Maya, IPR, or other 3rd party renderers. The following new substance textures have also been added: Clouds_2_Animated, Impact_01, Make_It_Tile, metal_plate_009, Plasma_Animated, Space_Ship, Sunshine, Water_Drips, Waves, Windscreen_Glass_01. The new Make_It_Tile substance texture allows you to easily and seamlessly tile a file texture.
New callbacks command added: The new callbacks command allows you to extend the Maya UI with your own components. Use this command to add your own callbacks to standard Maya hooks without the need to overwrite Maya MEL files. Currently, Maya hooks are provided for the Hypershade, the Create Render Node dialog, and Attribute Editor templates.
Free image planes: You can now create a free image plane. A free image plane is an image plane that is not attached to the camera; one that you can select and transform in your scene. Select Create > Free Image Plane to create one.
mental ray rendering support for GPU cached Alembic files: mental ray supports the rendering of GPU cached Alembic files, including baked diffuse
color information if the GPU cache was used to create the Alembic file.
New mental ray BSDF shaders: Built in BSDF (bidirectional scattering distribution function) shaders from NVIDIA mental images are now exposed in Maya. You can find them by selecting Window > Rendering Editors > Hypershade > mental ray > Materials. For more information about these shaders, please see the mental ray shader documentation.
mental ray version 3.10: Maya now uses mental ray version 3.10.
Module support for plug-ins: You can now easily create a distributable deployment of your plug-in. The site administrator can setup a plug-in as a folder on a network, along with a module description file. Each user's machine should point to the module description file through the MAYA_MODULE_PATH environment variable. This way, making changes to the plug-in is simple even across multiple Maya versions and platforms. Multiple versions of a plug-in are now supported, where the version used is determined by a combination of the current operating system, the version of Maya, and the language setting (locale). The details of the new module file syntax are outlined in the following section.
Send to 3ds Max: You can send various forms of data, including geometry, animation, materials, and textures, to 3ds Max. You must have matching versions of Maya 2013, 3ds Max 2013 and FBX 2013 to use this command.
Live Update Service: Check for updates including Service Packs and Hotfixes using the new Autodesk Maya Update Manager.
Improved search in the Maya Help: The Maya Help now includes an improved search that queries a wider variety of sources with greater efficiency than ever before. Matches from the Maya Help documentation and other websites, like the Autodesk YouTube channels and forums, are included in your search results. Each match includes an excerpt of text, the name of its source, and the date it was last updated, so you can quickly navigate your results. Note If you search with the locally installed Help, you do not get results from online sources.
Updated Navigation Buttons: Clicking the new Share button lets you send a link to the currently viewed topic. This button launches your default email application and places the link in the body of a new email message.
You can now select the QuickTime movie (.mov) file format as a Render output for your Composite projects.
Autodesk MatchMover now includes Python scripting support. Use MatchMover's Script Editor and Script Manager to create and load scripts that process input and output data as well as launch interface commands.

|Production Code
|Air date
|August 25, 2011
|Written By
|Dan Vebber
|Preceded by
|"All the Presidents' Heads"
|Followed by
Fry's sneezes reintroduce the common cold to the world of the future.
Because Fry has flashbacks of himself and his Dad going ice fishing in 1988, the Planet Express crew go ice fishing. They don't have much luck, and after a whole day of no bites, they go back to the headquarters with only a baby fish - and a common cold. Professor Farnsworth explains that the common cold had been extinct for more than 500 years. Soon after, a quantine shield is put on top of the Planet Express building, and everyone (except Bender) catches the cold. Although Bender is needed to help the others during their illness, he escapes with germs on his hands, caught from Zoidberg accidentally sneezing on him. He then congratulates the quarantine crew, shaking their hands, and giving them the germs. The quarantine crew soon catches the cold, and there is a new outbreak.
After 99% of the city gets the cold, a bigger quantine shield is put on the city, which is then lifted physically out of the ground. Using tractor beams, the island of Manhatten is carried towards the Sun, towed by the starship Nimbus. The professor says that developing a vaccine is possible, but it requires the unmutated 20th century cold virus which only Fry has. As Fry is attached to a machine, preparing to be sliced gruesomely into a thin paste (to obtain a sample of the virus), he has a flashback of a high school science contest that he had entered. One of the other children won and his entry (A common cold virus contained in Fry's pet hamster) was sent into space.
In the future, Fry remembers this and stops himself from being pureed. Fry recalls that the experiment was shot into space, and the crew will need to escape the spaced and plastic-wrapped island to find it. As they shoot at the quantine shield, and by extension the Nimbus, Zapp Brannigan predictably shoots back, creating a hole in the shield with a powerful explosion. The crew finds the experiment and the Professor is able to engineer a vaccine.
At the end of the episode Fry has a flashback, showing him and his father in the ice fishing shack after he gets pulled out of the ice by his father. Fry and his father talk, and during the conversation his father shows one of the first, if not the only, signs of love towards Fry in the series. Fry's father offers him a beer, which Fry accepts. Fry then takes a drink of the beer and gives it back to his father.

Son Gokū (孫悟空, Son Gokū), more commonly known as the Four-Tails (四尾, Yonbi), is a tailed beast sealed within Rōshi of Iwagakure. It was captured by Kisame Hoshigaki, then extracted and sealed by Akatsuki. Son was later resealed into a reincarnated Rōshi during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[3]
Son Gokū first came into being in the waning days of the Sage of the Six Paths, who used his Creation of All Things ability to separate the Ten-Tails' chakra from its body and divide it into nine separate constructs in order to ensure that it would never resurface after his death.[4][5] Some time after being created, the Sage sat down with all the young tailed beasts and told them that they would always be together even when separated, and that one day they would become one entity again with different names as well as forms than they did then when the time came for them to understand what true power is.[6]
Son Gokū eventually fell into the possession of Iwagakure and was sealed into Rōshi over forty years before the Fourth Shinobi World War,[7] who later left Iwagakure in a journey to gain a better understanding and control of the tailed beast.[8]
Son Gokū is a very prideful tailed beast, as it detests being called by the name "Four-Tails" and boasts about its lineage. It uses 'ore' (オレ) when referring to itself.[9]
It also hated humans, due to the fact that humans had enslaved it, and believes that apes are more intelligent than humans. However, when talking about the Sage of the Six Paths, it showed him great respect. It also seems to have taken a liking to Naruto Uzumaki, as it was moved by his actions for truly trying to save it from being controlled by Tobi and even gave him some of its chakra before being sealed away.
Son Gokū is a red-furred and green-skinned monkey, with a body-build of a gorilla. It has eyes with yellow irides and white pupils, spike-like protrusions along the length of its tails, elongated blunt fangs, and two long horns curving upwards on its forehead like a crown (both its fangs and horns are dark-tipped). In its mouth, Son has a big, round opening, from where it spits lava, and it doesn't seem to have a tongue. During the last remaining days of the Sage of the Six Paths, Son was much smaller and had smaller fangs.[6]
Son Gokū has the ability to simultaneously use the earth and fire natures, to spit lava from its mouth; something that hasn't been seen outside the realm of kekkei genkai. As its jinchūriki, Rōshi could borrow its ability to create and use lava. As a tailed beast, Son is able to create a Tailed Beast Ball. Son Gokū is very strong as it was able to lift and toss Gyūki.
Part II
Itachi Pursuit Arc
After an unseen and difficult battle with Kisame, Rōshi was defeated and captured by the Akatsuki member. Son was later extracted and sealed, leading to Rōshi's death.
Shinobi World War Arc
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tobi forced Rōshi to fully transform into Son Gokū and attack Killer B and Gyūki, managing to flip the latter over by its tentacles. Later, Son attempted to swallow Naruto. Naruto tried to free himself from between Son's jaws, but failed.
A chained-up Son asked Naruto, now inside the tailed beast, if he had come to steal its power. It lashed out when Naruto referred to it as the "Four-Tails", demanded that Naruto address it by its proper title. As their conversation continued, Son was shocked to discover Naruto to be an open, honest young man. After Son cursed humans for sealing the tailed beasts away and denying their existence, Naruto shared that he was once treated in a similar manner and that he hated to see someone like Tobi controlling the tailed beasts. After initially laughing at the prospect of Naruto, a jinchūriki, wanting to befriend his tailed beast, Son realised that Naruto's ambition was genuine and told him that there might be a way to stop its rampage if the chains that bound it were undone.
In parting, Son bumped fists with Naruto, now eager to know how to undo the chains. Son imparted that in the past he made it second-nature to never trust jinchūriki; it warned Naruto not to expect it to become his ally. Son proceeded to tell him the location of the chakra receiver embedded in its body. Naruto used shadow clones to force Son to vomit him up. A Naruto clone who stayed inside the tailed beast's mouth went into Sage Mode and push the receiver from the inside while he himself pulled it from the outside. Although Naruto succeeded, he quickly realised that Son was still bound. Son explained that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path still held its chakra and that Naruto had only freed it from Tobi's control. As Naruto argued with the beast over wanting to save it completely and not just free it from Tobi's control, Son in disbelief of the young man's character, offered some of its chakra to Naruto,[10] pleased that he genuinely tried to rescue it.[11] Son was then resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, leaving Rōshi's body behind.
In Fū's flashback of the time before Son was sealed, it was revealed that Rōshi attempted to make amends with Son, wondering whether or not they could have traversed a path more similar to Naruto and Kurama's. Son told Rōshi that if he wasn't so stubborn and hadn't forgotten its name all those years ago, it might have been possible. As the beast was resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, it parted on good terms with Rōshi, who told it that he had never forgotten its name, but rather was too proud to address him properly. He then wondered if calling the beast "Son" would be appropriate.
Video Games
Although Son Gokū itself is not playable, Rōshi takes on its form as his awakening in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.
- 'Son Gokū' (孫悟空) is a Japanese name for 'Sun Wukong', a legendary character from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. Kishimoto was mainly inspired to create Son based on the character with the same name from the manga series Dragon Ball. In addition, its design is based on Goku's Ōzaru form and his inherited Dragon Ball that has four stars in it.[12] Besides the name, Son is also based on several other references to Sun Wukong, which includes:
- The horns on its forehead are modelled after Sun Wukong's diadem.
- "Handsome Monkey King" (美猿王, Bien'ō) and "Great Sage Equalling Heaven" (斉天大聖, Seiten Taisei) are both titles that Sun Wukong bears.
- The Water Screen Cave (水簾洞, Suirendō) is the cave where Sun Wukong was born on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit (花果山, Kakazan).
- When Naruto met Son within Rōshi, it was sealed to a giant stone, which reflects the mountain under which Sun Wukong was sealed.
- A Dharma name (法号, hōgō) can be one of two things. It can be the name given to a newly ordained Buddhist monk or nun, or it can be the posthumous name given to deceased people according to the Buddhist faith.
- The fur on its chin and on the top of its back resemble Rōshi's beard and hairstyle.
- (Introducing itself to Naruto) "I am the Handsome Monkey King of the Water Screen Cave; the King of the Sage Monkeys, bestowed with the Dharma name of Son by the Sage of the Six Paths. I am Son Gokū, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven hoohoohooooo!!" ( 「オレは水簾洞の美猿王 六道仙人より孫の法号を与えられし仙猿の王。孫悟空斉天大聖だウキキィーーー!!」, "Ore wa Suirendō no Bien'ō, Rikudō Sennin yori Son no hōgō o ataerareshi Sen'en no Ō. Son Gokū Seiten Taisei da ukikī~~~!!")[9]

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - Missouri's attorney general has released the list of top ten complaints to the consumer protection hotline. Topping that list m, unwanted telemarketing calls to people on the no-call list. As 5 on Your Side's Mike Rush reports, it's a problem that makes Mary Lou Moeller think twice before picking up.
Mary Lou Moeller and her best friend Hannah Burchett spend a good part of their day sewing teddy bears and crafting beautiful quilts. But sometimes the joy of creating crafts gets cut short.
"Well, by the time I drop what I'm doing, I sometimes have to find my phone, I lay it down someplace, I go answer the phone, I get to the phone, it's Rachel from card member services," said Moeller.
Mary Lou signed up for Missouri's No-Call list as soon as it was offered.
"It really did stop the telemarketers' calls until just the last, I'd say possibly until the last two years," said Moeller.
She's constantly reporting the nuisance calls to the Missouri Attorney General's office, but the phone just keeps on ringing.
"You might get three or four in a week's time, sometimes they slow down for a little while, but then, in fact, you might get one every day," said Moeller. "Not only on my land line, but on my cell phone and that really irritates me, because they're burning up my cell phone minutes."
Joe Bindbeutel is Chief Counsel for the Missouri Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
"If you register on a No-Call list the Missouri law suggest that no tele-marketer should be invading your personal space, your personal time; your family time and that's what it's all about, pure and simple," said Bindbeutal.
Last year, Missouri residents filed nearly 40,000 no-call complaints.
With the help of that information, the Missouri Attorney General's Office obtained more than $1.4 million in judgments against telemarketers in 2012, that's up from just over $1 million the year before.
While fining violators is a step in the right direction, Bindbeutel admits new technologies makes prosecuting violators more difficult.
"We see what is called spoofing which is a computer program which can essentially disguise caller ID and in fact it can even give a caller a number which they might think is a hospital or a charitable organization, but usually it's a fake number and that hides the paper trail," said Bindbeutel.
In order to trail violators and put together a case, Bindbeutel and his team need your help.
"One thing we would implore our citizens to do is continue to complain. Even though it seems like these calls continue, it's very important for us to get those pieces to document those calls and put a case together," said Bindbeutel "One, two, three or four calls, it's very difficult to do something with, but when we get repeated calls that's when our investigation can really take root."
Mary Lou and Hannah have considered letting the phone ring.
"Except you stop and think, it could be somebody in the family that needs something, so you got to answer them," said Burchett.
But you can be sure, telemarketers may not catch them at their best.
You can register your home phone number and your cell phone number on the Missouri no-call list online or by calling 1-866-NO-CALL1 (866-662-2551).
If you are receiving unwanted calls from telemarketers, you can report them to the No Call Complaint Hotline at 1-866-BUZZ-OFF(866-289-9633).

The Dar es Salaam Maritime Institute (DMI) has been in the spot over dubious expenditures and disregard for financial regulations in the use of public funds.
Controller and Auditor General (CAG) Ludovick Utouh revealed this in his recently released audit report of public authorities and other bodies for the fiscal year 2010/11.
"The amount paid contrary to the financial regulations including those used in dubious expenditures and misappropriated funds should be returned to the DMI and be used as intended," read part of the report.
The report recommends that staff members implicated in the plundering of public funds should be punished and the DMI should ensure employment procedures put in place by the President's Office (Public Management Service) were adhered to and staff entitlements should be in line with DMI's scheme of services.
The CAG report revealed that 83.96m/- was paid as honorarium and other allowances without the approval of the DMI board of directors. Out of the amount, 51.8m/- was paid to the chairman of DMI Council as honorarium, fuel and monthly allowances, while 2.6m/- was paid as sitting allowances to accounts staff without attending any meeting.
The audit report also shows 10.4m/- was paid to DMI staff as allowances to a task force created to upgrade and harmonise DMI's syllabus in June, 2009 but those paid were not part of the team.
The DMI also disbursed 385m/- from the Ministry of Communication meant to settle creditor's claims. It said only 205.8m/- was paid to the creditor, while the remaining 17.3m/- was spent on recurrent expenditures contrary to requirements.
"A total of 12 officials were paid higher salaries contrary to their scales and without approval from the DMI council. The salary scale they used is approved for lecturers, thus causing a loss of 16m/- from July 2009 to January this year," it said.
It was also noted that the University of Leeds Metropolitan based in London donated 25 computers for the DMi's library and paid 3m/- to the clearing agent, M/S Mashade Limited, to meet port charges in December 7, 2007 but to date the computers had not been delivered.
It recommended to the DMI to trace the whereabouts of the computers and take disciplinary measures against the staff involved in stealing computer accessories.

Johnny Appleseed's Day on the 11th may be my lamest holiday choice yet! Not only is it specific to certain areas of the united states and generally reserved for history classrooms, it's even contested whether or not it should be celebrated now or at the end of September!
But, it's an excuse to do a 5 of 7+ and once again, there will be a TWIST.
To be a participant, just duel on 5 of the 7 days in a week (that's once per day on 5 days), starting Monday the 11th through the following Sunday. Make sure your duel goes over 10 turns. Do that, and you get POINT CARDS and a fixed prize. Complete 10 or more duels, and you get the extra prize!
Participation prize - The Forest of Hate
Duel 10 total times for an extra prize - Tree Giant
The twist - Guild Extra
Next week, during rankings, all members of the number one guild for the week will get 10 Point cards!

Music of Central Asia, the Aga Khan Music Initiative's panoramic 10-volume audio-visual survey of contemporary tradition-based music from Central Eurasia, has added volumes 7, 8, and 9 to the series. The new CD-DVD sets expand the scope of Music of Central Asia both geographically and conceptually – by encompassing different regions of Uzbekistan as well as India and by showcasing the Music Initiative's cross-cultural collaborations, featuring, among others, the Kronos Quartet, Alim Qasimov and Homayun Sakhi.
"The new CD-DVDs encompass key traditional music repertoires, but they also are about pursuing regional and global cross-cultural collaborations that lead to promising new artistic work," says Fairouz Nishanova, Director of the Music Initiative and co-producer of Music of Central Asia. "Preservation carries a tradition so far; to keep it alive – to revitalise it – music needs to explore other traditions even while it stays connected to its identity and heritage."
Volume 7, In the Shrine of the Heart: Popular Classics from Bukhara and Beyond, focuses on musical life in Uzbekistan and northern Tajikistan, where generations of Uzbek and Tajik singer-songwriters bequeathed a remarkable legacy of lyrical ballads, devotional songs, and instrumental pieces to the gifted master-musicians who perform on the CD. Rooted in the sophisticated urban song traditions of Bukhara, Samarkand, Tashkent, Qoqand, and Khiva, these popular classics come alive in superbly recorded new performances.
Volume 8, Rainbow: Kronos Quartet with Alim & Fargana Qasimov and Homayun Sakhi, is the first release to emerge from an ongoing collaboration between the Music Initiative and the San Francisco-based Kronos Quartet. In its mission to revitalise and assure the onward transmission of musical traditions in regions where they are endangered, the Music Initiative came to understand that cultivating creative processes which lead to artistic innovation and evolution is as important as conserving links to the past. Kronos's long experience in creating new music – oftentimes with artists from other cultures who didn't share a common musical lexicon of terms and concepts –offers a successful model of how to do such work.
The new works that premiere on Rainbow feature artists who have appeared on previous Music of Central Asia releases: Alim & Fargana Qasimov, and Homayun Sakhi. Sakhi's "Rangin Kaman" ("Rainbow" in Persian), a twenty-eight-minute composition for Afghan rubab, string quartet, and percussion, was created in response to a commission from the Aga Khan Music Initiative and the Columbia Foundation. The string quartet parts, which Sakhi composed on a Casio synthesizer, were arranged for Kronos by Stephen Prutsman, a long-time Kronos collaborator. The second part of Rainbow presents five Azerbaijani songs performed by Alim and Fargana Qasimov, Kronos Quartet, and the Qasimovs' own quartet of instrumentalists, who play tar, kamancha, balaban, and naghara. These songs come from the Qasimovs' large repertoire of traditional popular music, and were arranged first by Alim Qasimov and subsequently by American performer-composer-arranger Jacob Garchik, who created the string quartet parts.
Volume 9, In the Footsteps of Babur: Musical Encounters from the Lands of the Mughals, represents a modern-day encore of the remarkable artistic synthesis cultivated by the emperors who ruled the Mughal Dynasty, founded at the beginning of the 16th century by Babur. Inspired by visual images and literary descriptions of exuberant music-making in the Mughal courts, the Music Initiative brought together musicians from Afghanistan, India, and Tajikistan with the aim of merging their talents, traditions, and musical instruments to create new sounds. Featured artists are Indian santur virtuoso Rahul Sharma and Afghan rubab master Homayun Sakhi, accompanied by the talented young Afghan-American tabla player Salar Nader. On several tracks, Sakhi also performs with two leading young musicians from Tajikistan, Dushanbe-based dutar player Sirojiddin Juraev, and Badakhshani setar player Mukhtor Muboraqkadomov, both of whom have appeared on previous Music of Central Asia releases.
"The new CD-DVDs encompass key traditional music repertoires, but they also are about pursuing regional and global cross-cultural collaborations that lead to promising new artistic work," says Fairouz Nishanova, Director of the Music Initiative and co-producer of Music of Central Asia. "Preservation carries a tradition so far; to keep it alive – to revitalise it – music needs to explore other traditions even while it stays connected to its identity and heritage."
Music Initiative consultant Theodore Levin, the CD-DVD series' other co-producer, added: "The artists on these recordings are all in their own way innovators, and their musical curiosity and eagerness to share their artistry with diverse audiences places them firmly in a global and cosmopolitan artistic community at the same time that they remain connected to a sense of place and tradition."
Like preceding volumes of Music of Central Asia, each new release includes extensive liner notes and photos as well as a DVD with a documentary film that contextualizes the featured musicians in their own social and musical world. The DVDs also include an interactive musical instrument glossary and a map.
Music of Central Asia may be purchased through the Smithsonian Folkways website (http://www.folkways.si.edu ) or through major on-line music retailers.

[ADOBE DEVELOPER CONNECTION] [Serge Jespers - Developer Evangelist] Hi, my name is Serge and I work on Adobe's Developer Evangelism team. In this video, I want to talk to you about how easy it is to build applications using the Flex framework. Now, if you're brand new to the Flex framework, the Flex framework actually allows you to quickly build applications on top of the Flash platform, and Flash Builder is the tool that makes it very easy for you to build those types of applications. Now, the first time you open up Flash Builder, you'll actually see that there's a bunch of info on this start page. You have a ton of tutorials that you can go through, but there's also a link to an application called Tour de Flex. Now, at Tour de Flex, you can find a bunch of code samples that will just tell you how to use a specific component or talk to a specific web service or something like that, but let's just starting building a very simple application here. I'm going to create a new Flex project, like that, and it'll ask you where you want to run this application. Do you run it on the web using Flash Player or do you want to build a desktop application using Adobe AIR? Now, in this case, I just want to build a web app so I'll just leave it like that. I'll call this AdobeEvangelistWeb and then click Finish. Now, the first thing you probably want to do is go into design view and actually just quickly look at all the components that are available to you in the component library. So if we just quickly scroll through it and you see things like buttons, data grids, images, but also layout components that make it easy to quickly lay out a bunch of components into, for instance, a panel or something like that. And then also, navigational components like a button bar and a menu bar and tabs, and also charting components, which are a little bit more advanced than what we're going to use in this example. Now, what I want to do is actually load in an XML file and just display that in a data grid. A very simple application and that's actually what we want to do right now. So let me just quickly show you the XML file that we want to use. So this is on adobeevangelists.com; we actually have an XML file with all of the Evangelists that work for Adobe and what they do and where they are on the web, where there are on Twitter and things like that. So this information I want to load in and then do something with that later on so I'm going to need the URL for that XML file that I just copied here. Now, I do just quickly want to jump into code view because what I want to set up is actually an HTTP service. Now, with an HTTP service, you can load in data coming from the web. It can be just a text file or in this case, an XML file, so that's what we're going to use. So I'll set up a new HTTP service component and you actually do that in the declarations tag, so Flash Builder knows where this is, and I'll call this "myXML" and I'll define the URL to be the URL that we just copied from the browser, just like that. Now, let's just jump back into design view, and I'm actually going to use a little button here and like I said, I'm also going to use a data grid to display the data coming back from that XML file, and you see that in the design view you can just lay out your application like you want it. I'll call this button--I'll give that a different label. I'll just say "Get Data" or something like that. Now, in my source view, whenever I click on this button, I actually want to fire off the HTTP service call, so I'm going to create a little click handler and it's very easy to do that in Flash Builder 4.5. You just hit Enter, and then you can automatically generate a new click handler, just like that. And I'll give this a name as well; I'll call this GetData instead of just ButtonClick. And in here, I'm going to say myXML.send(). I just want to send off that HTTP service call and it's going to come back with data from that. Now, what I could do is on my HTTP service component, I could actually add a result handler, like that. So whenever a result comes back, this function will be firing off, but that's not what I'm going to do. I'm going to use a feature called Data Binding, and this is very powerful and very cool to use when you build applications like this. So what I'm going to do is in my data grid, I'm actually going to get rid of all this dummy data and the columns here because I'm just going to quickly say that the DataProvider for this data grid is going to be whatever comes back from that XML service call. So I'll say data provider is going to be myXML.lastResult so whatever comes back from the server, and then I'm going to say evangelists.evangelist and that actually refers to these notes in my XML file here and that should be enough. Let's see. I'm going to get rid of this requested row count as well because we just want to display all the data that comes back from this XML file. Now, if we launch this--and when we click on the button, it should hopefully--you never know; we work with code here-- so when we click on the Get Data button, it should get the XML file and then the data grid should show all the data that comes back, so let's do that, and there we go. We have the biography, the job title, location, name, and everything that was in that XML file is now ready to be used in the application. So hopefully that gives you a little bit of an idea on how easy it is to build the web application with Flash Builder and with the Flex framework. Check out the Adobe Developer Connection for more information and I'll see you next time. [Adobe Developer Connection: adobe.com/devnet] [ADOBE DEVELOPER CONNECTION]

Acarbose is used along with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Acarbose works by slowing the breakdown of starch (carbohydrates) from the food you eat into sugar, so that your blood sugar level does not rise as much after a meal.
Acarbose may be used with other medications (e.g., insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas such as glipizide) to control diabetes because they work in different ways.
Take this medication by mouth, usually 3 times a day at the start (with the first bites) of each main meal or as directed by your doctor.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, weight, and response to therapy. Your dose may be gradually increased to determine the most effective dose for you. The manufacturer recommends that you do not take more than 300 milligrams per day.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day.
For best results, continue to eat a proper diet, exercise regularly, and check your blood sugar regularly as directed by your doctor.

As we head into spring, we head into a season of hope and renewal. The grey, dark days of winter are fading. The greening of the grass and the budding of the trees bring the promise of new beginnings.
Spring also brings the promise of launching a successful season for professional baseball teams and the hope of winning a championship for professional golfers. Reflecting on these athletes' quest for success, we can identify at least two consistent themes:
It's common for a golfer to isolate himself on the range with a swing coach or a trusted advisor to hone his skills. Spring training for baseball involves teams gathering in relatively small communities in Florida and in Arizona to fine-tune their game.
So what can the rest of us learn from these individuals? The lessons are pretty clear. We need to focus on what is really important to us. We need to take time to recharge our batteries. And we need to have a trusted advisor, coach or confidant for guidance and direction as we head into the greatest competition — the game we call life.

Have struggled for 6 years with Mal de Barquement dedirsor. Now am having problems with GERD/hiatal hernia, stinging, burning feet. I have had MRS's, deen neurologists, and am now being sent to a rheumatologist. Also been to podiatrist .total of about 10 doctors. I feel that no one person is getting the total person and just take a piece of me. I would like to have someone diagnose just me. I guess I am looking for a House type experience when someone finally resolves what the problem is.
This analogy is similar to what I've experienced when doing tai chi, only on my own - without the trainer: I can focus or meditate on my breath, or on the slow, gentle movements and literally gather energy. Dr. Herbert Benson, of Harvard University, is famous for describing the Relaxation Response that occurs with mindful, contemplative practices like tai chi, qi gong, transcendental meditation, etc.
I've found significant stress relief and "recharged my batteries" whenever I take time out for mindful tai chi.
Withdrawing from day to day stresses could mean just accepting and not resisting them. If you completely accept what is, then the negativity and energy draining stress associated with wanting it to be different dissolves.
Loved the "game of life"...for me it works because it takes some "dead weight" emotional issues out of my mind! Thanks to another patient I met this week for sharing the expression "dead weight" friends that are not supportive for success of her disease. She said she certainly didn't need anymore weight, and not "dead weight"...we laughed, hugged, and smiled as we parted. There is nothing like support from other patients fighting disease with gusto!
Also, if one does not have a MD on your TEAM sharing HOPE and HEALING regardless of the odds or percentages FIRE the MD, and get another. We need to win this GAME!

(a) Policy and Purpose. It is the policy of the courts to facilitate access to court records as provided by Article I, Section 10 of the Washington State Constitution. Access to court records is not absolute and shall be consistent with reasonable expectations of personal privacy as provided by article 1, Section 7 of the Washington State Constitution and shall not unduly burden the business of the courts.
Court Records include any document, information, exhibit, or other thing that is maintained by a court in connection with a judicial proceeding and information in a case management system created or prepared by the court that is related to a judicial proceeding. Examples of court records are: an index, calendar, docket, order, decree, judgment or minute entry in a courtroom proceeding.
All court records are open to the public except as restricted by federal law, state law, court rule, court order, or case law.
Some court records the public cannot access:
Family law and guardianship cases have some additional restrictions. Some documents are considered restricted access documents and are not available to the public.
Complete Names of Children Required - The complete names of children shall be used in cases brought under statutes that are deemed confidential pursuant to state or federal statutes, including cases filed pursuant to Chapter 13.34 and Chapter 71.34 RCW. The complete names of children and other identifiers shall be included in the Confidential Information Form or similar document for cases filed under Title 26 or Title 13.
Orders Issued For Protection of a Child - If a child is a person protected by a criminal no contact order issued pursuant to 10.99 RCW, an anti-harassment order issued pursuant to 10.14 RCW, an order of protection issued pursuant to 26.50 RCW or a restraining order or order of protection issued pursuant to 26.09 RCW, 26.10 RCW, 26.26 RCW, RCW 26.52.020, or any other court order entered for the protection of the child, the child's full name and other identifiers shall be included on petitions and orders as necessary for entry of the order into the Judicial Information System (JIS) and/or the Washington Crime Information Center (WACIC).

If a pleading is filed without redaction, the opposing party or identified person may move the Court to order redaction. The court may award the prevailing party reasonable expenses, including attorney fees and court costs, incurred in making or opposing the motion.
(1) A dissemination contract and disclaimer approved by the JIS Committee for JIS records or a dissemination contract and disclaimer approved by the court clerk for local records must accompany all bulk distribution of court records.
(2) A request for bulk distribution of court records may be denied if providing the information will create an undue burden on court or court clerk operations because of the amount of equipment, materials, staff time, computer time or other resources required to satisfy the request.
(3)The use of court records, distributed in bulk form, for the purpose of commercial solicitation of individuals named in the court records is prohibited.
