Lowndes Co, GA / Madison Co, FL - Narrow lanes, out dated structure, and susceptible to flood waters. These are not characteristics you want to hear before driving over any bridge. And that's why a local bridge is being replaced.
The 72 year old "Withlacoochee River Bridge" joins Lowndes County, Georgia with Madison County, Florida. The new bridge is already taking shape just beside it.
"Traffic over time just causes vibrations in bridges and structures on any bridge or any road way and they just gradually deteriorate over time. And they need to be repaired but eventually every bridge just needs to be replaced," said Corey Hull, Lowndes Transportation Planner.
It's hard to imagine this bridge being swallowed by flood water, but that's exactly what officials say happened in 2009 when the Withlacoochee River swelled up to record levels.
But the new $5.4 million bridge will be taller, wider and longer. And it'll feel a lot less claustrophobic.
"Narrow bridges like that one that were constructed many decades ago do cause some tight situations when they have large semi's passing on it. The new bridge will address that by having wider lanes, wider shoulders, things like that," Hull said.
The bridge is a joint project between the Georgia and Florida Departments of Transportation. The current bridge will stay in place until the new one opens next august.

01-29-04 - A secretary for the Carter County Commissioners Office has admitted to using county money to purchase personal items.
It came to the attention of the commissioners Friday when a collection agency called about an outstanding bill. An account with Orscheln Lawn and Garden had been opened with the county by secretary Michelle Ray.
The Sheriffs Office then started an investigation in which they found another account also set up at Lowes in Ardmore. The sheriff says Bray has admitted to embezzling the money - which totals $4,000. Charges have not yet been filed against Ray, but she was fired from her position with the county.
The Carter County District Attorneys office will announce tomorrow if charges will be filed.

COROLLA, N.C (AP) -- A North Carolina beach is closed to swimmers because debris from Hurricane Irene has created a hazard. Corolla beach was closed Wednesday.
Currituck County Emergency Management spokesman Randall Edwards said Thursday that officials are waiting for the high tide to recede to determine whether the water at Corolla was safe.
Edwards says Corolla's beach was closed after lifeguards saw trash, wood planks and tree branches floating in the water and worried they could hit a swimmer. He says it's to be expected that debris swept to sea by a big storm will wash back to shore again.
Dare County officials have said most of their beaches are open.

Can a woman blow the shofar?
Blowing the shofar on Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) is a mitzvah (a commandment.) Women are not obligated in time-bound positive mitzvot, because of their overriding family responsibilities. However, it is certainly meritorious for a woman to hear the sounds of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. A woman who hears the shofar being blown every year on Rosh Hashanah is considered to have taken a vow to do so, and should continue hearing it every year. There are some authorities who teach that Jewish women as a whole have accepted this commandment upon themselves.
Can a woman blow the shofar? She can certainly blow it for herself. Since her level of obligation in the mitzvah is different than that of a man, she cannot blow for a man. There are various rabbinical opinions on whether a woman can blow for other women.
This is all concerning the blowing of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. A woman can definitely blow the shofar on other occasions during the year.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Rochel Chein
Stillwater, MN
Are women obligated?
Some opinions (by valid poskim) say that since this is a time bound mitzvah, women are not obligated. So they may blow for themselves, but not for others.
Other (perfectly valid) opinions say that women have, as a class, opted to become obligated, and therefore all women are obligated and may blow for themselves and others.
Other opinions say that each woman who opts to hear the shofar on three times that a man is obligated to hear it has now taken the obligation individually, and may blow for herself, and others with the same status.
Who is right? We each depend on how our rabbi/posek rules.
Who called Judaism an organized religion?
w. bloomfield, mi/usa
Since the shofar should only be blown on Rosh Hashanah in order to fulfill the mitzvah, a woman (and a man as well) should not blow for people who are not planning on fulfilling the mitzvah at this time.
Is it not a mitzvot to blow the shofar in itself?
If we use this logic, then a woman should be able to blow the shofar if it did not interfere with other obligations and it was not for the purpose of allowing others to hear the shofar only (if they heard it a second time blown by a man it would be permissable) then this is OK?
Is the answer...there is no answer? Perhaps the person who asked did not want to partake in an outright violation of the law and it was not just for curiosity.
Boulder, USA
Or blow the shofar in the company of others as long as it was not for the purpose of the others to fufill the mitzvot of hearing the shofar?
Boulder, CO
Premise 1: if A then B.
Premise 2: A
Conclusion: Therefore, B
That is a valid argument form known a "modus ponens."
The fallacy here is to negate the antecedent ("A") and conclude that the consequent (B") must therefore also be negated (posing "not A" as the second premise and "not B" as the conclusion). That's invalid because it doesn't have to be true.
The same is true here. Prohibition does not follow from lack of positive obligation. IPerhaps there are other premises that yield the prohibition, but they are absent from the response provided to the initial question.
What are these other premises?

Mr. Positivity
Newt Gingrich complains that big money and negative ads are crushing him in Iowa. He has a point.
ATLANTIC, Iowa – Newt Gingrich invents analogies almost as often as he writes books. On this leg of his Jobs and Growth bus tour, he was comparing Barack Obama's economic policies to an avian breakfast treat.
"It's as though we've tried to make hard boiled eggs by putting them in the freezer," he told a packed, eager room at Tish's Restaurant, a classy joint in Council Bluffs. (Try the fried cauliflower.) "Now, you can get a hard egg by putting it in the freezer long enough, but it's not what you want. I think Obama is in relation to jobs as putting an egg in the freezer is to getting a hard-boiled egg."
It's a nice analogy. But you could just as easily apply it to Newt 2012, and the weirdly positive campaign he's now running. One month ago, the candidate cited the polls showing him up in Iowa, up everywhere except New Hampshire, and told ABC News he was "going to be the nominee."
"I don't object if people want to attack me," he told Jake Tapper. "That's their right."
Now he's trailing, in Iowa and nationally. We know why. He's been bludgeoned by negative TV ads and negative mail. According to the obscure-until-yesterday Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group, 45 percent of all TV ads in Iowa have been anti-Gingrich.
Nobody doubts this figure, least of all Gingrich. On Friday and Saturday, stumping in central and western Iowa, he spoke often about the negative campaign against him. Here in Atlantic, he used the "45 percent" number, telling us he "read it in USA Today." At other events, he opted to scold Mitt Romney and anyone who would let a "super PAC," with mysterious and unlimited funds, tear a man down. Gingrich says he will not run attack ads, despite the challenges he's facing. Let all those other guys make their hard boiled eggs with heat, because he's going to the freezer.
"I propose a simple test, to determine whether or not something is a negative ad," he said in Council Bluffs. "Candidates ought to make grandchildren watch the ads they're running. If they're not proud of those ads, they shouldn't run them."
Whenever Gingrich said this, his crowds—all of them large, if not Romney-huge—cheered as though the candidate had announced some miracle cure for tuberculosis. It was unfair, what was happening to their candidate. It was sleazy.
"I just hate it, and there's so much of it," sighed Sarah Hoffman, after Gingrich spoke at a restaurant in Shenandoah, Iowa. "Anytime they do anything negative, I just turn it off."
"I think there ought to be a review panel, or something like that," said Kelly King, waiting for a chance to shake Gingrich's hand in Council Bluffs. "You shouldn't be allowed to run these things that are totally negative and wrong."
There are a couple of problems with these complaints. One: Negative ads are part of any campaign, and rightly so, because candidates don't dish ugly (and sometimes revealing) information about themselves. Two: Conservatives derided campaign finance reform in the 1990s, and cheered the Citizens United decision that paved the way for this year's ad onslaught. For them to complain about campaign spending and secret money funding attacks just isn't … consistent.

What do we need before we have our first baby?
We have a VERY limited budget and even more limited space, this is our first baby, and have next to nothing for the baby. We will not be having a shower or recieve many gifts as we live so far away from family. I am wondering what are the must haves for bringing home the baby. We will be moving to a larger space and close to family a month after the baby is born. We just need the Must haves. Any ideas?

I would recommend getting a pack and play. The Graco Newborn Napper is about $150 and has so many uses. I will be using it as a bassinet and crib. Aslo maybe a carseat that can be used for a long time, mine can be used form infant-toddler and then turnds into just a booster. I would look at some yardsales, you can find lots of great baby stuff for cheap if you take the time to look around. A walker isn't neccessary, niether is a changing table. My baby never liked her swing but all babies are different. I would definitley reccomend breastfeeding if your on a tight budget, formula is very expensive and you go through it like crazy! You don't need anything like wipe warmers, bottle warmers, etc all of that stuff is stuff you get cause you think it will be useful but for me I never used any of it. I used my bouncy seat a lot, and while a Bumbo isn't necessary I loved mine and used it a lot. I would get a space saver high chair eventually, they won't use it until about 6 months.posted 03/12/2011 by m_bree9
1st let me say CONGRATS on the lil one.. But you will defiantly need pampers & wipes, a crib or basinet so the baby can have somewhere to sleep. The baby will also need a carseat(they won't let you leave the hospital w/o one) also if you dont drive you might want to get a stroller, bottles nd formula(if your not breastfeeding) Now the best part....BABY CLOTHES =)) I hope my answer helped you.. And since your on a low budget try stores like walmart & target.. GOOD LUCK!!posted 03/12/2011 by NADIA37
Thank you all, this is very helpful! Awesome to also know what I don't need... there just seems to be so much and I just didn't know what are the musts and then what look cool but doesn't really help as much as one might think :) Thanks again friends.posted 03/14/2011 by Richelle Parlin
If you are on a tight budget I would recommend checking out FreeCycle and CraigsList for baby gear and clothing lots. Just do not buy a used carseat since most carseats expire after 6 years and you won't know the carseats history (I.e. if it was in an accident, etc) which could affect the seats integrity. You can also check out local baby consignment shops. Good Luck.posted 03/13/2011 by sugar&spiceX3

Five thoughts on the floundering Flyers
Things are not going well for the Flyers in 2013. But why? Here are five thoughts that begin to answer the question ...
1. Where's the fight?
The Flyers haven't won a single game this season when trailing after the first period. Just think about that for a second: The Flyers are 0-12 when their opponent takes a lead in the opening stanza. What gives? The team appears to have no fighting instinct. Take Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers, for instance. After falling behind 1-0 in the first period, the Flyers seemed to stop skating, allowing the Rangers to beat them to loose pucks and best them in battles. Instead of turning up their desperation level, they've disintegrated after falling behind.
2. Everything's wrong!
On Facebook last night, I asked my friends what they think the Flyers' biggest problem is. I got 173 responses (173! I'm really not that popular!), and they ranged from pointing blame at the coach to calling out goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov and everything in between. One friend even suggested the biggest problem is that the team refuses to admit they just don't have a chance this year. And you know what? Almost all of the responses I received were right. There are a lot of problems with the Flyers now; their issues don't lie in one single area. And that's why they're in 14th place in the Eastern Conference right now.
3. (Not) gone streakin'
The Flyers have only won back-to-back games four times this season. They haven't won three games in a row yet – and there's only 16 games left to play. It's fun to play with numbers, sure, to try and figure out how they might get away with just barely making the playoffs, but there's no way they'll even get close if they can't put a handful of consecutive wins together.
4. How much is Jagr missed?
Ever since it became evident that the Flyers were not going to have a good season, many have suggested that a big reason why is the absence of Jaromir Jagr. Claude Giroux seems to seriously miss him. So does Scott Hartnell. But I think it might go even deeper than that – Jagr has 25 points in 31 games for the Dallas Stars, and certainly the Flyers could use that offensive production. It seems to me, though, that they also miss him off the ice, where he was a huge influence on Giroux, Hartnell, Jakub Voracek and, well, everybody else.
5. Win … or else
The Flyers find themselves in the midst of a critical five-game homestand. They already lost Game 1 to the Rangers. Kimmo Timonen says he and his teammates believe they must win all four games that remain, if they hope to have any chance of playing beyond April. He's right, but the four games that remain (Islanders, Bruins, Capitals, Canadiens) won't come easily.
By all means, please share your floundering Flyers thoughts in the comments!

I read about this site in a book that I'm currently reading. I thought I'd check it out for myself. I think the content of your site is terrible. You think that you give teens all the information that they need so they can make informed decisions about their sex life. What bologna. The only decision that teens need to make is to not have sex until they are married. Certainly we all need to be informed about our physical health, our bodies, and how to have a healthy sexual relationship. But what about talking to teens about abstinence?
I've looked all over the internet: so far nothing has given me a straight answer. I don't have money for a pregnancy test and I don't have time to go to a doctor. About two weeks after my last period I had sex with my boyfriend and used a condom. Afterwards he told me that he thought some semen had come out the bottom. What is the possibility of me being pregnant and is abortion the only option? I can't have my parents find out but I can't be pregnant.
When this press release from the American Life League passed by my desk this evening, I couldn't even wave my usual fist, sigh my usual sigh, or give a good barbaric yawp. Screeds like this often leave me in that space, bizarrely feeling like I've been somehow redeposited in time to the McCarthy Era, but this one was a real doozy: I feel like someone dosed my dinner.

When I was a teenager, having sex wasn't really part of my rebellion.
Having GOOD sex was.
Now, I know that I'm kind of not supposed to even say this stuff out loud, especially within earshot of anyone under 18...or 21 or 29 or whatever this week's proper age for sexual activity issued forth from our oh-so-moral government is per being an unrepentant tramp. Don't suppose age matters here: it's pretty clear there's not any age or station at which it's acceptable per the Bushies to be a woman who enjoys sex on her own terms and happily has plenty of it.
I know that admissions like that sometimes have the effect of diminishing my credibility in the eyes of some as a young adult sex educator. As I understand it, if you had really great sex as a teen (or a grown woman, or a lesbian or a gay man or anyone not over 50, heterosexual and married), and worse still, lots of it, you somehow lose (or never had) the ability to think critically and soundly, to have any sort of objectivity whatsoeveRead more...

WASHINGTON (May 14, 2011) – Today, Ciera Turner received a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Physical Therapy from the College of Pharmacy, Nursing & Allied Health Sciences and was awarded the competitive Reginald F. Lewis Scholar Prize. The $10,000 prize is awarded to the undergraduate student whose cumulative grade point average demonstrates the highest increase between the sophomore and senior years.
A native of Alabama, Turner arrived at Howard University in the spring of 2008. Since then, she has had an extraordinarily busy life, balancing her academic pursuits with her involvement in volunteer and extracurricular activities, such as the University band and working in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Her commitment to the educational growth of young ladies led her to become a volunteer mentor and tutor at Young Ladies of Tomorrow, a non-profit organization in the District of Columbia.
Turner intends to continue her academic pursuits by attending Medical School with the goal of becoming a physician.
In 1990, the Reginald F. Lewis Foundation, Inc. established the Howard University Reginald F. Lewis Fund to support various student and faculty enrichment academic activities. A cornerstone of the innovative initiative is the Reginald F. Lewis Scholar Prize. The University President bestows the award during the Commencement exercise to a graduating senior, selected from the University's undergraduate population, whose record reflects the highest degree of academic progress.

About This Episode
FrameMaker 11's powerful book feature can also be used to do something quite simple. In this case, visual document display housekeeping. When several authors are working with various chapters in a book, it is not uncommon for each author to save their chapter with different view options. For instance, one author may leave rulers, grids and text symbols displayed, while another author has turned off all options, including the display of graphics. This can be disconcerting for whomever does final edits on the book level. Watch this very brief video to see how easy it is to select all book content and set view options to be the same for all chapters or documents.

Author: Mudede, Charles
Date published: April 13, 2011

Journal code: STRR
The ghost appears on the photographer's balcony. She is dressed in a flowing white gown; he is wearing pajamas. It is the middle of the night. Earlier that evening, he took photos of the ghost's corpse (arms crossed, eyes closed, smile on the face), which rests at her family's mansion. She, Angelica (Pilar López de Ayala), is a member of an old and wealthy Portuguese family; he, Isaac (Ricardo Trêpa), is a sensitive and artistic Sephardic Jew.
From the balcony, the two fly up and over the town, the hills, the river. This is the land of their supernatural love. This is also the beginning and the end of their love affair. The moment they return to his room, she vanishes and he begins to lose his mind. The ghost has put a spell on him.
In one scene, three worldly types (a professor and two engineers) sit in a dining room talking about antimatter and how it interacts with ordinary matter. They also talk about the terrible state of the Portuguese economy. Money and matter, the stuff that makes the human world go around and around. The photographer is also in the dining room, but he is not paying any attention to the talk about the global economic crash and the new particle accelerator in Switzerland. Isaac's whole mind has become filled with just one word: Angelica.
The director of this simple, lucid, elegantly paced ghost story, Manoel de Oliveira, was born in 1908, made is his first film before Hitler took power, and made 10 features in his 90s. Despite being so old, and next to death at every moment, his latest film has the kind of lightness you'd expect from a director who has lots of time to kill. Northwest Film Forum, April 15-21.

Local self-assessment leads to resilienceUNISDR's Local Government Self-Assessment Tool (LGSAT) is an effective tool to assess a city's institutional capacity to build resilience, a new report has found. The study said the LGSAT opened up dialogue and enabled the establishment of baseline data for the Ten Essentials of UNISDR's Making Cities Resilient Campaign "that can be used to track progress as the cities continue to build disaster and climate resilience". The report, titled 'Assessing City Resilience: Lessons from using the UNISDR Local Government Self-Assessment Tool in Thailand and Vietnam', said the LGSAT enabled local discussions to take place within an internationally-applied framework of common issues. The study looked at four cities – Hue and Lao Cai, in Vietnam, and Udon Thani and Hat Yai, in Thailand – and identified gaps between policy and practice, and between planning and implementation.

Bieber puts spotlight on disaster zone schoolsPop idol Justin Bieber paid a surprise visit to the San Jose Elementary School in Tacloban this week. He stayed about 30 minutes, hugged the kids, sang a few songs, signed some autographs and landed on the front pages of all the Philippine newspapers. If nothing else, his visit brought a spotlight to bear on the precarious lives of thousands of children with no school to go to for the last four weeks. Over 600 schools were destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan. Despite a government instruction for classes to re-open on December 2, many, such as the Anibong Elementary School overlooking the ship-strewn shoreline of the neighbourhoods known as barangays 68 and 70, remain packed with evacuees.

Re-location, re-location, re-location…The ground floor patients including those in intensive care had a narrow escape. Indeed, as the tidal surge broke through the hospital's perimeter wall security guards had to come and rescue the director of Leyte Island's largest public hospital, the Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC), as he struggled waist deep in water in his hospital residence overlooking the sea. Dr. Cirilo R. Galindez who is now on secondment from Luzon as acting hospital director, describes the frenetic activity following the slow realization that the hospital was about to be inundated by sea-water as a result of Typhoon Haiyan in the early dawn hours of November 8. "In about twenty minutes they had to move all the patients from the ground floor to the second floor including those in the intensive care unit. The staff did a superb job and there were no casualties among the patients," he said.

The announcement comes with recognition by the city authorities that there were several barriers to compliance with evacuation procedures despite many sweeps through the most exposed neighbourhoods – or Barangays as they are known in the Philippines – by teams of local volunteers and officials led by the Barangay captains. Three days before Typhoon Haiyan struck, a meeting was called by the City Mayor, Alfred Romualdez, of all 138 Barangay Captains to be briefed on the coming storm and they were all instructed to order their constituents to evacuate. The meeting was reportedly attended by about 75% of all Barangay captains.

SKIATOOK, Okla. (AP) - Tulsa County authorities say petitions
seeking an investigation of spending by the Skiatook School
District had enough signatures to require a judge to convene a

The Tulsa County Election Board on Friday verified that the
petitions turned in by district patron Jason Willingham had far
more than the 5,000 signatures of registered voters required by law
to call a grand jury.
Court records filed by Election Board Secretary Patricia Brown
Bryant said that, of 7,700 signatures submitted on 445 pages of
petitions, 6,404 signatures were deemed valid.

Major changes are in store for Georgia's HOPE Scholarship in an effort to save the state money, but it could come at the cost of some students forgoing their grant money sooner than they planned.
Delash Huewitt is one of dozens of students at Southwest Georgia Technical College to receive notice of ineligibility of HOPE grant money.
"It frustrates me because there are a lot of young men and women out here pursuing careers. I think they should have that right to be able to get that money. It's out there for us," says Huewitt.
Gov. Perdue signed a HOPE reform bill Monday after the prediction that in the near future HOPE recipients will far outweigh the lottery sales that fund it.
One of the changes puts a cap at 95 quarter hours for technical school students. Credit hours from last summer and up to this year will include in the 95 quarter hours limit. This is expected to affect up to 100,000 technical school students in Georgia.
Maxwell Rayburn, a financial aid advisor, says, "We don't have access to other funds to help them with, so I really don't know what affect it will have but it will be a major affect."
"Some students are affected greatly by that and then they're booted out of school or not able to come back," adds Huewitt.
Huewitt has depended on the scholarship for books and fees for the past two and a half years, and now that it's been taken from her she says hard times may lie ahead, but it won't stop her from pursuing her educational hopes and dreams.
Perdue's reform plan is expected to save the state almost $2.2 million during the 2005 fiscal year budget.

Toothache is a painful condition which can cause a lot of discomfort. You could try taking ibuprofen to
help ease the pain and inflammation but there are also plenty of natural solutions that can provide some
Natural Pain Relief for Toothache
It is surprising how effective some of the following tried and tested methods for toothache can be. Toothache
will not go away until you have been to the dentist and got the cause of the pain sorted out but these methods can
provide you with relief in the meantime.
Cold Treatments
Cooling treatments can help to reduce the pain and swelling of toothache and gum inflammation. You can use
some ice wrapped in a tea towel (or a cool pack) and press it to the side of your face with the toothache.
Don't place anything very cold directly against your face as this can cause skin damage, (always wrap first) and
don't use cold treatments for more than 20 minutes at a time. You could also try sucking an ice cube, but
avoid placing anything cold against the actually tooth as this can cause even more pain.
Clove Oil
Clove oil is an age old remedy for toothache and should be dabbed directly onto the affected tooth. Cloves have
natural anti-bacterial properties and can help to fight infection and swelling. Cloves also help to numb the
area and reduce pain. If you do not have clove oil then you could try sucking a whole clove or mixing a
little ground clove with olive oil before dabbing onto the tooth.
Garlic and Onion
Garlic and onion are known for their anti-bacterial properties and can help to reduce the infection and
swelling. You can pound a little raw garlic or onion into a paste and then place over the tooth. Hold
the paste in place for a few minutes and then rinse out your mouth. It doesn't matter if you swallow any of
the paste but raw garlic and onion can taste very strong. Repeat this until the pain is eased.
Salt water RinseSalt water has many healing properties and can
help to draw infection out of the tooth and gums and numb pain. Pour some freshly boiled water into a cup and
then dissolve a teaspoon of sea salt. Leave the salt water to cool until just warm to the touch. Use
this to rinse out your mouth every ten minutes or so and then spit out. Don't swallow salt water as this can
upset the balance of minerals in your system. Once the water has gone cold refresh with a new batch of warm
salt water.
Head massage can help relieve the tension brought on by tooth ache and can help to increase blood flow to the area
to aid healing. If you feel pain on the right side you could try rubbing your right hand or earlobe and left
hand/earlobe for left side pain. These are important pressure points on your body and can help to stimulate natural
pain relief.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- The dangerous and growing problem of an adult disease in kids.
Because of our nation's obesity epidemic, more children and teens are being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. This form of diabetes has been more commonly seen in adults, however in the last couple of decades the number of kids with type 2 diabetes has skyrocketed.
Fran Cogen, MD, Director of the Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes Program at Children's National Medical Center says, "With the advent of fast food, less exercise in association with familial origins especially in ethnic minorities, its come to the forefront and we have to take notice."
On Monday, the American Academy of Pediatrics published standard recommendations to assist physicans in caring for children and teens with type 2 diabetes.
Among the recommendations, beginning insulin treatment right at diagnosis in all children. Even if it is not clear if they have type 1 or type 2. They also say Metformin should be used as a first-line therapy, and mandatory lifestyle change programs involving nutrition and exercise are key. Testing blood sugars at least 3 or 4 times a day is a standard that members of the AAP would like to be implemented.
Dr. Cogen says, "What they've done is standardized (the guidelines) and they based it on evidence based literature and opinons from experts. As such many of us who practice diabetes management in academic institutions pretty much do these guidelines already."
11 percent of the children in the diabetes management program at Children' National Medical Center have type 2 diabetes and the number is increasing every year.
With type 2 diabetes, the body cannot use the insulin that it produces. This is due to the intake of a high amount of sugar, the insulin becomes desensitized to the sugar and does not remove it from the bloodstream.

Reviews for Sword of Vermilion
So many memories.Stimpack | July 23, 2012 | See all Stimpack's reviews »
Sword of Vermilion was a game that holds a very special place in my heart. I was quite young when I first ventured forth into this world, but it left me with memories that would last a lifetime. It's in keeping with the old J-RPG/Phantasy Star games of its time, but with refreshing real-time combat mechanics and a satisfying sense of progression that will leave you wanting more. If you've enjoyed either Phantasy Star or games like Star Ocean, you should really check this out. Fancy yourself a gaming aficionado? Don't let this one pass you by! It's a purchase that you're certain to not regret.

I remember playing this game a long time ago. It is pretty outdated now but we shouldn't be too harsh. There are better games than this in the same genre (both indie and pro) but if you are fan of retro gaming, it may be worth trying.
Archaic...Muzicjohn | April 7, 2011 | See all Muzicjohn's reviews »
Unfortunately this game is really hard to play now. This is very old RPG and its mechanics are unacceptable today. Maybe years ago someone could play Swords of Vermilion with pleasure, but it's quite impossible now. Only for fans with sentiment to this game, if you didn't play it before - belive me, you don't want to play it now.

Our goal is to provide private and effective counseling sessions to help individuals overcome a wide range of personal or relational issues. We offer one-on-one counseling, as well as a variety of group counseling programs that change each semester.
The center also provides various on- campus education programs that cover mental health and encourage student and faculty wellness.
A safe and secure place
We know the essence of an effective therapeutic relationship is based on safeguarding a client's privacy. That's why to the extent permitted by law and our ethical code, the Counseling Center maintains confidentiality of all that is communicated between you and your provider. Your written permission is required before any information about, including acknowledgment of your contact with the center, is released to anyone.
Parents, professors, friends and others do not have access to information discussed in your session, unless you authorize us (both verbally and in writing) to release such information. Certain extremely infrequent situations call for exception: life and death situations, child or elder abuse and those situations mandated by law.
What to expect on your first visit
If you have never been to a counseling session, the prospect of setting your first appointment may be intimidating or overwhelming. It's completely normal to feel that way. Rest assured our first priority is to make you feel relaxed, comfortable and welcomed. For your first appointment:
- We ask you to arrive 15 minutes early to fill out some paperwork.
- You will meet with your counselor, who will take the time to get to know you and understand what brings you into counseling. Remember, there is no issue to small or too big to prevent you from seeking counseling. Your counselor will explore ways in which he or she may be able to help.
- Toward the end of the initial meeting, you and your counselor will determine the best next course of action.

Keyword research isn't just for search marketing. It's also a highly effective method for social media marketing. Whether your target audience is on YouTube or Twitter, your social media marketing efforts should start with determining which keywords they're using. That way you can match your message to their interests.
With that, I've put together The Experts' Guide to Keyword Research for Social Media. In this comprehensive guide, I give detailed instructions on how (and why) to conduct keyword research for social media, and I break it down with tips and techniques for research keywords on four of the most popular social media platforms: Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Facebook. Enjoy!
READ: The Experts' Guide to Keyword Research for Social Media
Keyword Research and Keyword Implementation for Social Media
Research is one thing, implementation is another.
Ken, I used your techniques about Twitter keyword research and learned a few things. But implementation of that knowledge is elusive. Perhaps it's just because I'm not that much into social media (but I do use Twitter).
Using Hashtags.org for the phrase "organic cotton" for Twitter I learned all of these #hashtags: #baby, #sleep, #organic, #cotton, #ecofashion, #fashion, #ecofabulous, #eco, #sexy, #fitted, #teeshirts, and #Fairtrade. How will I utilize this knowledge to spread the word regarding my "organic cotton" products or services?
I could follow the hundreds/thousands of people on Twitter who use organic cotton related hashtags. I could engage follow, DM them, converse, and hopefully sell to them down the road. This seems very labor intensive. If someone's paying me to do it, I'd do it. If I'm selling an organic cotton mattress for example, I might look for another Twitter technique.
Perhaps I could just use #hashtags relating to organic cotton to do tweets selling organic cotton products. I've never read anything on the success rate of that technique on Twitter. I suspect the conversion rate is low.
Most likely, I would use the organic cotton #hashtags in tweets referring people to my blog articles with titles like:
1) Organic cotton products are better for kids because...
2) What the heck is organic cotton anyway?
3) Do people sleep better on organic cotton mattresses?
If people want to read blogs on organic cotton at my mythical website, perhaps they'll make a purchase of some type.
Like I said Ken, thanks to you I now have better social media keyword tools. But I still need advice on implementing keyword research knowledge for social media profits.
Hopefully our social media friends will visit this blog article and give us their advice now that I have tweeted about your article using the tags #social and #media.
Hey, Richard.
I think you know a lot more than you lead on. ;)
You say, "Perhaps I could just use #hashtags relating to organic cotton to do tweets selling organic cotton products."
That's precisely how you could implement keyword research on Twitter. Find people who use your target keywords or hashtags, follow them, engage and interact with them, promote your products. And while Twitter conversion rates may not be as strong as other channels (although it varies on a case by case basis), there are additional benefits to consider, including brand awareness, site traffic, ranking signals, social networking and relationship building. In any case, like I say in article, marketers who ignore Twitter do so at their own peril.
Thanks for this insight on the Keywords role in the social media..as we all know that social media is the best way to make your presence online and getting direct contact with your customers.
Thanks for the information. I am using this information to help my consulting customers who don't know a keyword from a link. Thanks again.
Social media marketing is most important of the site. you can also Find people who use your target keywords or hashtags

SEC Tournament: Day 4 Quotes

Nashville, Tenn.

Day 4 Quotes
No. 2 Texas A&M 4, No. 3 Kentucky 1
Texas A&M Head Coach Steve Denton
On the match:
"Doubles was huge. We were down at the break in number one doubles, and for us to be able to come back there, our guys played very well at the end of the doubles to get that doubles point. That proved to be really important for us. Then we knew it was going to be a huge battle in singles. I felt like our guys wanted it today a lot. They competed their butts off, and as a result, we were able to scrape through, get a couple matches under our belt, and keep the momentum on our side."
On advancing to the championship:
"We've graduated a little bit, so I'm pleased with our progress. You know, there's still a lot of tennis to be played. Tomorrow either team is obviously going to be a huge test for us. I'm pleased with where our guys are right now. I feel like the biggest prize is the NCAA tournament. All these matches are great preparation for it. Having to play three hard matches in consecutive days, I think it's good for all these teams here. That's why the SEC does so well in the tournament because we play so many tough matches against so many good teams. It kind of prepares us for what we're going to have to face at the end of the season."
Kentucky Head Coach Cedric Kauffmann
On the match:
"I'm disappointed with the outcome of this match. I thought the doubles point was important, but not a killer. We had the lead, but they are both good teams and the match on one could have gone either way. We talked in the locker room about playing all six singles matches and after a rough start the first five to 10 minutes, we played better. We were not able to close out the first set on four and six and not able to come back at three, but we had our chances. I'm also disappointed at myself. I should have had them more ready to play and do something special. There was no difference in talent, and Texas A&M wanted it more than we did, and that's my fault."
No. 4 Florida 4, No. 8 Vanderbilt 2
Florida Head Coach Bryan Shelton
On the match:
"I think today's match started just like the one against Vanderbilt a week ago: we got up one point in doubles and today we played well on all three courts in doubles. We put ourselves in a position to win all three and we were able to close it out very effectively. Then, singles started and our freshmen really came up big. Maxx and Elliott both reversed matches where they lost last week and dominated their opponents today. We got the 3-0 lead, but it was far from over as Vanderbilt had leads at Nos. 1 and 2 singles."
On senior Mike Alford
"I'm really proud of Mike. Once again, he came through for us. I really can't tell you how many times in his career that he's been the guy the ends up finishing those clutch matches. I think we can all learn something from him because when the challenge is the greatest, that seems to be when he thrives. I'm happy for him. I'm happy that he was able to step up and finish it out and give us a chance to win a championship."
Vanderbilt Head Coach Ian Duvenhage
On the match:
"I told the guys I was proud of them. We got edged here by a team that played a little better than we did, and we also put ourselves in the hole a little bit with the doubles point. It's asking a lot to beat a team of their caliber twice in a row by winning four singles matches. I was proud of our guys, I thought we competed like crazy and it was close there at the end. We just came up a little short."
Looking forward:
"I think, in spite of today's loss, we're peaking at the right time and we're really looking forward to the postseason. We won two really good matches this tournament, and we beat Florida a week ago, so I think we're getting ready to fire on all cylinders once the NCAA Tournament comes around."

TORONTO (AP) -- Tim Connolly scored his second goal of the game at 44 seconds of overtime to lift the Toronto Maple Leafs to a 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.
The Leafs center went to the goal and had an empty net to shoot at when Joffrey Lupul's shot dribbled past Cam Ward.
Ward, who made 36 saves, broke his stick on a goal post in frustration after the winning goal.
James Reimer finished with 17 saves for the Maple Leafs. It was his first victory since returning to the lineup following six weeks of concussion-like symptoms.
Alex Ponikarovsky scored for the Hurricanes.

Monkey Pod Games Offers Fun, Educational Gifts for Children Ages 3-6
During the summer vacation, many parents are busy lining up events and activities to ensure their children have a fun, structured and hopefully educational break from school. Along with the usual camps, lessons, play-dates and family vacations, some parents are choosing an array of educational toys and activities to keep their kids active and intellectually engaged throughout the dog days of July and August, and are finding surprisingly positive results. With the availability of many old-fashioned games and puzzles, kids are acquiring important skills for intellectual development, keeping mentally "fit" in the context of having fun, and occupying their time in a well-structured manner.
MonkeyPodGames.com has noticed the trend: sales of wooden puzzles and brain teaser games have increased in preparation for the summer. Although the classic games, puzzles, and wooden brain teasers haven't changed over the years, they are perhaps more relevant today for teaching kids important lessons such as self-regulation and perseverance, as well as mathematical and visual-spatial reasoning. While mathematics is certainly not what kids generally think of as summer fun, the skills are acquired almost subconsciously and in the context of play and enjoyment. Thus, the puzzles and games function as fun educational tools, and make the perfect summer gift for young children.
For children ages 3-6, MonkeyPodGames has a section called Kids Learning Puzzles that includes simple puzzles, wooden blocks and elementary games. Consistent with folk knowledge that is now being confirmed by research from educators and child psychologists, these types of toys tend to inspire creative and imaginative play in children. A recent National Public Radio segment reported a study extolling the merits of loosely structured playtime in positively influencing children's development. Compared with conventional computer games often presented to young children, the toys featured on Monkey Pod Games' Kids Learning Puzzles section offer much more freedom, not just of movement and touch, but also for constructing a world around play.
Items such as the high quality manufactured "Geometric Stacker," which calls for shapes to be stacked randomly or in groups of similar geometry, allow a child, according to one parent commenting on the website, to progress on his own from random ordering to shape appropriate grouping. The "Zoo Puzzle," a work of art in its own right, allows simple hands-on exploration of strategic placement. "Child Sudoku" is a simplified and nicely crafted wooden version of the popular brain game that requires experimentation with numbers and provides a changeable interface which parents can use to set up a variety of different puzzles. Since children's learning is often reinforced through touch, these games are beneficial because they invite a child to experiment tangibly while building a vocabulary of shapes, geometry, numbers and positions.
Monkey Pod Games hopes that their assortment of classic games and fine handcrafted wooden brainteasers will positively influence the development and education of young children in a meaningful way. As summer heats up, wooden puzzles and brain teasers are the perfect way for kids to pass the time. Children are delighted by the fun and distracting games, and parents can be rest assured that their child is improving his or her originality, creativity and strategic thinking in the process.

I've set up a durable topic with the default (persistent) delivery mode on one machine that is publishing a simple text message every 5 seconds. I created a durable subscriber that consumes messages published to the above topic on another machine. I am using broker to broker communication between the two machines.
I start up the two programs on either machine and see the messages coming through to the subscriber. If I then pull the network cable to disconnect the network between the two machines, wait for a minute and then plug it back in, my subscriber doesn't receive the messages any more. I can see from the output that the publisher is still publishing them (Temporary topics, non-durable queues all continue to sync up in our production environment, it is only the durable topics that don't work after network reconnect)
If I were to tweak a setting on the publisher's broker (that was introduced only in 5.5.0), suppressDuplicateTopicSubscriptions=false, then the topics work correctly after network reconnect. But this may have other unintended consequences and I was hoping to get a better idea of:
- is this a known issue ? if so, then are there any specific challenges that have caused it not to be fixed?
- are other people out there using durable topics and subscribers without a failover option that have run into this problem? What have they done to work around?
Here is how my subscriber and publisher are set up:
Topic Publisher (Machine 1)
publisherConnection = connFactory.createConnection();
publisherConnection.setClientID( "ProducerCliID" );
session = publisherConnection.createSession( true, -1 );
Destination producerTopic = session.createTopic( TEST_TOPIC_NAME );
producer = session.createProducer( (Topic)producerTopic );
// On a timer, keep sending this out every 5 seconds
String text = "HELLO " + count++;
TextMessage msg = session.createTextMessage( text );
System.out.println( "Sending TextMessage = " + msg.getText() );
producer.send( msg );
Subscriber ( Machine 2):
Connection clientConnection = connFactory.createConnection();
Session session = clientConnection.createSession( false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE );
Destination topic = session.createTopic( topicName );
MessageConsumer subscriber = session.createDurableSubscriber( (Topic)topic, "subName" );
TestMessageListener msgListener = new TestMessageListener( 1000 );
subscriber.setMessageListener( msgListener );
// TestMessageListener's onMessage method simply outputs the message:
public void onMessage(Message message)
if ( message instanceof TextMessage )
I can provide the jars for you to run the program if need be.

Turns off the built in keep alive functionality and the default TCP keepalive is usually two hours so you'd need to tune the OS to rely on that. Why not just turn on the standard inactivity monitoring instead of trying to reinvent the wheel?
I'm seeing the exact same behavior when using a javax.jms.MessageConsumer.
Whenever I'm powering off or unplugging the master broker machine,The slave broker will take over the master role but the consumers will not reconnect to the new master broker.
There are no logged errors or other type of messages on the consumer side. The consumer behaves like it is still connected to the previous master instance and it is waiting for the messages to arrive in the queue.
I was thinking of implementing a thread on my consumer side which will query the JMS connection from time to time, hopefully this way the fail-over mechanism will kick in. Although I'm not convinced that this is the right approach.
The broker URL I'm using is:
The ActiveMQ version I'm using is 5.8.0
The client side libraries were 5.4.2, 5.7.0 and 5.8.0
There is a test case that simulates a very flaky network by randomly closing the socket locally. It uses a tcpfaulty://.. transport.
see: org.apache.activemq.usecases.MulticastDiscoveryOnFaultyNetworkTest
Maybe you can use some variant of that to reproduce in a unit test.
When the network cable is unpluged, there is a delay in getting socket feedback that depends on the tcp stack settings for timeouts and retries. So from a java app perspective, connections that are half closed can appear valid for some period. Whatever the case, the broker should be able to deal with it though, and once the tcp stack reports the real state of the network, things should come back to normal.
Thanks Gary. I can confirm my results are as Andreas Calvo previously stated. The situation occurs when you pull the network plug (or do a reboot on the hosting operating system). The problem does not occur when you stop and restart the activemq broker.Although as Andreas, I have not tried this against 5.8.0. I noticed there is a fix in 5.8.0 regarding durable subs, but specifically to offline deletions. I intend to run tests against this version before re-opening this bug.
Gary Tully,
Thanks for the quick reply.
However, although when I made the test it failed (and now it doesn't), I don't think it captures truly the situation.
Using a proxy can throw the Inactivity Monitor (even if it's paused or closed), but it does not capture an abrupt stop of the broker or it's connections.
While doing more tests in the lab, throwing a socket disconnect error (that means, unplugging the network cable) seems to, as Noel Ady expressed, leave the durable subscribers in a zombie state: they seem to exists and receive packages, but aren't able to dequeue anything.
This fails as of ActiveMQ 5.7, haven't tested yet on 5.8.
If there is any way to cause a socket disconnect error programmatically, it may give us a hint.
I may note that, while using ActiveMQ the results are really bad, using fuse-09-16 seems to give better results.
peek at the test case that works on trunk: https://github.com/apache/activemq/blob/trunk/activemq-unit-tests/src/test/java/org/apache/activemq/usecases/DurableSubscriberWithNetworkDisconnectTest.java
note how it is configured.
To demonstrate a bug, please make some changes to that test case or add some additional scenarios and then reopen this issue if it breaks.
We have been experiencing this same issue on 5.7.0. When AMQ server is rebooted all clients reconnect as expected. However durable subscribers show as active but the consumer is not pulling new messages. You can see on the subscribers page, messages are being en-queued to the durable sub but not being de-queued. It has caused some expensive mistakes recently. Havng read through the above , I am still unclear on what the best workaround is or if a fix is in progress?
As Andreas Calvo pointed in post:
this problem is already present in activemq 5.6, it's not fixed, I don't understand why it's closed, I'm affected too, exactly the same situation Andreas is experiencing.
Andreas?, is it fixed for you?.
To discard a bad implementation of the process, I've reproduced the problem using the examples provided in the stable release.
I've had to modify the java code for both the ConsumerTool and ProducerTool to add a string property with the sender string.
I am reusing the producerClientId parameter to set the sender name.
The file example.tar.gz contains the example directory from ActiveMQ-5.6 stable release with the modified files.
The instructions.txt contains a detailed description of the process used.
New test with 3 combinations for the maxReconnectAttemps (0,1 and -1).
It fails 13 out of 24.
Using 5.7-SNAPSHOT.

Tried you new test case against the latest trunk SNAPSHOT and it passes. There's been a couple recent fixes since 5.6.0 for issues that could affect durable consumers so you may want to try out a 5.7-SNAPSHOT.
Use Case updated to stable ActiveMQ 5.6.
Notice how the timeout parameter in the failover transport protocol has changed and now is using -1 instead of 0
We're still having the same issue.
It has become critical since it affects the brokers in a newtork of brokers when one of them is "pulled out" of the network and reconnected back after the inactivity timeout.
We'll try to update our test case with the latest stable release of 5.6 and report back.
A small snippet of the output after the client is being reconnected (removed broker pluged into the network):
jvm 1 | INFO | brokerA Shutting down
jvm 1 | WARN | Could not start network bridge between: vm://brokerA?async=false&network=true and: ssl://10.4.0.164:61616 due to: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out
jvm 1 | INFO | Establishing network connection from vm://brokerA?async=false&network=true to ssl://10.4.0.164:61616
jvm 1 | INFO | Network connection between vm://brokerA#42 and ssl://10.4.0.164/10.4.0.164:61616(brokerB) has been established.
Notice how it is identified as connected it is not show as a durable subscriber in the topic.
resolving pending additional unit test that shows that there still is a problem.
@Andreas, so where do we stand?
Do you have a variant of the test that shows the problem you are seeing that I can play with? Ie: a variant of the current test (DurableSubscriberWithNetworkDisconnectTest) from trunk that will fail? Please attach it to this jira if you do.
As of Friday, 16 December, i'm no longer working at NWEA.
If you need assistance with Web-based MAP messaging, please contact Scott Dietrich (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Aaron Zoller (email@example.com).
Kind regards,

Kind regards,
We are still trying to figure out this issue.
Using the latest SNAPSHOT for 5.6 doesn't solve it.
Our main concern is that using a NoB with static connections (and creating the responder from the central broker with duplex from the embedded broker) seems to throw an error.
However, using failover does not throw an error, but does not work either.
PS: NoB architecture is hub-and-spoke using embedded brokers
broker 1 (embedded) < - > central broker < - > broker 2 (embedded)
Thinking more on this, the failover: protocol on a client is relevant here in that the networkConsumerId on a consumer advisory will be the same in the failover case, and different in the not failover case. this is distinct from the subscriberName:clientId pair. It may be that the networkConsumerId needs to be composed of the subscriberName:clientId for durable subs to properly implement duplicate subscription suppression.
yes, durable subs must be unique based on their connection id and subscriber name. A duplicate will be suppressed. Validated with a variation on the duplicate suppression test.
Am going to ensure that setSuppressDuplicateTopicSubscriptions ignores duplicate subs, such that it does not get in the way of normal durable sub reconnect, where the networked durable sub is offline pending a reconnect.
We're concerned about the cyclic topology with a network of brokers.
If a durable topic subscription is requested more than once on the same broker, will ignore it?
the problem is the default value for setSuppressDuplicateTopicSubscriptions.
In the test, add
That option was added for cyclic network topologies, where there are more than one route to a broker. But it should ignore durable subscriptions as they are already unique based on their subscription id.
we found out that it is able to recover while performing a socket.pause() but not with a socket.close() (which, by the way, is the closest behavior that we expect)
surefire report
We set up a bunch of options, such as failover over static, dynamic only, maxInactivity on wireFormat, and so on.
It should work always, but some are failing.
Moreover, it also performs a close or pause on the socket to simulate the network drop.
Andreas, thanks for the unit test. It has 32 tests in it (with all the variations), is that expected? I am giving it a run to see what it produces.
(initial) JUnit case
i also have this problem on AMQ 5.3.0 (in production), and in our AMQ 5.4.2 test environment (both on 32-bit RedHat Enterprise Linux, v.5.5).
We have a store & forward network of brokers, much like the back-office/retail store example in ActiveMQ in Action. i use a duplexed networkConnector on the subscribers, with durable topic subscriptions. Queues and topics are defined as <dynamicallyIncludedDestinations> in the <networkConnector> configuration.
After a disconnect, i can see the brokers reconnecting in both the publisher's and subscribers' logs. Also, the AMQ web console on the publisher continues to show the durable ssubscriptions as on-line. But topic messages published during/after the outage aren't picked up unless i restart the subscriber broker.
Furthermore, queue messages do flow successfully between the two brokers after the reconnect.
i've added "keepAlive=true" and "useExponentialBackoff=false" to the URIs for my openwire and ssl transportConnectors, but neither setting has made any difference in the problem behavior.
Our current work-around is to monitor the message counts on publisher's and subscriber's topics, send an alert to our sysadmin team when they get out of synch, and manually restart the subscriber.
It's a relief to know that i'm not the only one...
same problem here.
Tried with 5.4.2, 5.5.0, 5.6.0-SNAPSHOT and still having the same issue.
I've set up an environment with two brokers, and the producer and consumer provided in the example directory using durable topics.
After being disconnected for more than 1m, brokers are able to reconnect but consumer seems to be in an offline state which don't pending messages.
However, upon restarting the consumer, it'd get all pending messages.
Is there some kind of timeout between the consumer and the broker?

Attack victim unhappy with prosecutors
STERLING – Benjamin Brainerd, a muscular former football player, admits he got into his share of fights years ago. The 28-year-old says he did so because people harassed him for being gay. Earlier this year, a father and son attacked Brainerd in a home in Sterling. Authorities charged the pair with aggravated battery and hate crimes, both felonies. It's rare someone is charged with hate crimes. In the past 6 years, no other local case involving such an offense could be found in Sauk Valley Media's archives.
