This article was reported by PennLive.com.
PennLive recently reported that state police charged a woman from Harrisburg, Pa., with aggravated assault and additional crimes after their investigation into allegations showed that she had lied to a 25-year-old man in June 2013 about her HIV status. The woman was arraigned on charges of aggravated assault, sexual assault, simple assault, and reckless endangerment and released on $25,000 bail pending further settlement of the charges. For several years, Pennsylvania has used its general criminal statutes to charge individuals who know they are infected with HIV/AIDS or other STDs and engage in sexual activity without disclosing their status.

A Springs therapist is accused of sexually assaulting two of his clients.
Darrell Wainright was arrested Tuesday.
According to police, Wainright began sexual relationships with two women in group counseling sessions that he oversaw. Police say the sexual incidents did not happen at the counseling facility.
In both cases, the women were adults and the sex was consensual; police say the problem is that Wainright was their therapist at the time of the alleged incidents, which is a class 4 felony.
Officers were alerted to the alleged incidents in April after a 43-year-old woman stepped forward and told police that she and Wainright had slept together twice. The woman told detectives that the relationship started out with Wainright flirting and making sexual comments about her after therapy sessions. It allegedly turned physical after a night of drinking at a local bar. A second woman from the therapy group was there, according to first woman's account.
Police say that the woman claimed that the second time she and Wainright had sex, a woman from their therapy group joined in. That woman later corroborated the account to police.
A detective with the CSPD Adult Sexual Assault Unit said Wainright confessed to the sexual encounters in an interview Tuesday. He was then arrested for sexual assault on a client by a psychotherapist. Wainright has since bonded out.
According to records, Wainright's license was issued in July 2013. In that time, he has not had any complaints or disciplinary actions against him.

The CF3B5 version has no problem for me, while the 3r1c version has error during installation of demo's.
The CF3B5 version has no problem for me, while the 3r1c version has error during installation of demo's.
ok all im having trouble with lemmings install. i have installed gripshift ans rub adub fine but cannot get lemmings to work. i have tryed to make a euro account and install lemmings also but i always get the your account cannt use this game. anyone have a idea what im doing wrong? if anyone has got the lemmings from euro store to work and then been able to use the activation code to activate it please help me by telling me your steps.
such as when you made a new user account what country did you use in the list or countrys maybe it has to be a specific country? i was going to just download the demo straight from the store but sony has removed it from the store but i do have the file saved on my pc.
when i use proxy program to install it downloads and installs fine and shows up in the xmb as lemmings not lemmings demo like th us version. but it will not run. any ideas?
From what I've read, you have to delete any other Lemmings content you may have installed previously (demos, etc.) before installing the Euro version.
network traffic will affect your speed so if there is any activity on your router itll slow you down. to be sure your downloading from your pc do this. make the demo you use to trigger the proxy program armord core its size is like 995 mb or something. then link that demo to your file using proxy and when you download the file itll show up on the screen as 690mb not 995 mb and youll know for sure that its comming from your pc.
XM202 im gonna try that today. i hope it works im getting tired of downloading this game and it not working. its not that good of a game and im ready to give up. LOL but it is free you know . LOL
is therea way to install these demos on 1.70?
which country did you use to ascess the uk store i forget which one i used but i was sure i was in the uk store the other day and lemmings starter pack was not there . i was trying to do it the way you explain but cannot find the lemmings starter pack. please tell me which region or country you chose to show the uk store with the starter pack and ill take it from there. thanks
I believe that the UK store did remove the starter pack completely off of their site. Luckily I had the starter pack before it it was removed. If you have the game via the links here, you can download the game to your pc first, use proxy and redirect the demo link for Armored core 4 to the lemmings starter pack on your PC's HDD. Do the same for the activation but using a different demo link to redirect the activation file from your PC's HDD. Be aware though, All of this has to be done while you are signed into your UK account. I've tried this method for Lemmings and Super Rub-a-Dub and both work in their full glory. Using FW 1.51 btw.
Desi man i have tried that 10 different times and different ways. no matter what i do so far using proxy i cannot get lemmings to work. so i was hoping to get it from teh store and see if it works. i do have the starter pack or at least i think i do but i dunno how to be sure. i bellive the file is like 228 megs or something like that. anyways i belive your right and lemmings is gone from the uk store but i have not had tile to look as ive been working alot. but will let you all know if its there and if not if i ever get it to work ill post how i did it. as of now all i get is your account is not autorised for this software error.
I had the same problem with the "account not authorized for this software", Then I realized I was doing this method using my US account. Then, I created a Euro account and tried it again, and it worked somehow using 2 different demos for the 2 files on the PC. Anyways I can't what else may be wrong on your end, but keep trying.
Mine downloads fully and then says an error occured during the install process, any ideas?

Federal investigators have found salmonella bacteria in feed and in barn and walkway areas at farms at the center of the nationwide outbreak, officials said.
The feed or feed ingredients could have become contaminated after they went through heat treatment that was sufficient to kill salmonella, officials from the Food and Drug Administration told reporters.
Produced at a mill at a Wright County Egg Co. facility, the feed was given to pullet chickens at both Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms, which between them recalled more than a half-billion eggs since the salmonella outbreak.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled Eggtocracy coverage to take a look at the greener side of life.
Sean Brock is the executive chef of the historic McCrady's Restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, where his modern farm-to-table cuisine most recently earned him the 2010 James Beard "Best Chef Southeast" award.
As a passionate champion for replenishing those varieties of crops at risk of dying out, Brock currently tends to one and one-half acres on Thornhill Farm in McClellanville, South Carolina, where he plants and grows a number of heirloom crops. As we explained earlier, "Heirloom seeds come from plants that have remained genetically unchanged and have been open-pollinated (by insects, birds, wind, etc.) for at least 50 - or some say 100 - years. This means no hybridizing with other varieties of plants."
He's on a mission to bring vanishing vegetables back to the table, and here to tell you why.

The neural caliper was a small device often used as part of the preparation for surgery. It was placed on the patient's forehead and, when activated, it caused the patient to lose consciousness.
In 2365, a neural caliper was used on Captain Jean-Luc Picard during surgery to have his artificial heart replaced on Starbase 515. (TNG: "Samaritan Snare")

Drawing is my life. It helps me express how I feel without words, and shows what I like and don't. It is very important to me. Though I know I am not the best artist out there - far from it, actually - I don't mind, nor care. This is my art, not others. I do compare my art to others, just because it kind of gives me a goal as to how good I want to be, and because I don't like getting a big ego over a good piece of art work I did. I prefer to remain level headed.
If not drawing, I love writing. I haven't really put any stories up, but that's because normally I don't think it is good enough to put up. I may one day, but I'm unsure.
It is one thing to say I need to approve on something. To say "Your proportions are slightly off, just making the waist not as long." or something like that, that is kind criticism. I don't mind it at all. It helps me improve on y art (and possibly stories if I ever put them on here). However, to say "Your drawing skills suck." is just rude and hurtful. I am not going to lie and say that I won't care, acting all tough and shit. Honestly, I do. It doesn't make me want to go sob in a corner and give up art. Never; I love drawing way to much to give it up on something rude jerk. It does still hurt though. Though, it mainly just annoys me. So by saying that, you are basically asking me to bitch at you and block you.
I will too.

Jack Welch and Suzy Welch in a Business Week article (Feb. 4, 2008) state that a CEO (and a prospective President of the US in this an election year in the US) need five basic leadership skills:
1. They need to be authentic and, hence, trusted;
2. That have to have vision and be able to communicate that;
3. They have to be able to hire great people and sometimes fire them too;
4. They need to be able to bounce back from a setback;
5. They need to be able to "see around corners"; to notice changes in their markets pretty much before anyone else does.
They also mention another requirement which I would put under the category of management rather than leadership:
6. They have to be able to execute.
These are pretty good guidelines. I would think that they also apply to entrepreneurs but I think entrepreneurs need a few more:
a. They need to be able to sell;
b. They need to be able to control costs;
c. They need to be able to make up their own rules as they go along;
d. They need to be creative in many of the things they do;
e. They have to bring a sense of urgency to each day;
f. They don't take 'no' for an answer;
g. They need to buck the system and be comfortable doing it;
h. They have to be self reliant;
i. They need to be able to deal with risk and uncertainty;
j. They have to be able to set and achive goals but be flexible enough to change their plan in an instant;
k. They need to be able to borrow best practices from wherever they find them;
l. They need to know when it is time to give up on a business and start something else;
m. They need to be able to work long hours and to be effective during that time;
n. They have to set priorities;
o. They have to see their whole business ecosystem as part of their TEAM;
p. They have to understand human psychology: the psyche of their employees, their clients, their suppliers and they have to be better poker players than they are chess players- they need to be sympatico;
q. They need to be humble, learn from their mistakes and never make the same mistake twice;
r. They never try to go back and revisit something that didn't work already once- they just move on;
s. They can cope with high levels of stress.
I am sure there are a ton more characteristics of successful entrepreneurs but this a pretty good list to start with. If you get 70 or higher on our ECQ Test, you probably have what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

Letters to the Editor for Jan. 28, 2011
Praying for healing
To the editor:
Since the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion in the United States, more than 50 million lives have been lost due to abortion. We pray and solicit prayers for those approximately 3,000 helpless people whose lives will be snatched from the womb each day, and we commit them to God's grace.
We also encourage prayer for those who have been involved in the taking of an unborn life — mothers, fathers, and those involved in performing the procedures. Pray for healing of emotional and physical scars, for God's grace and forgiveness, and for a change of attitude for those who support and are involved in abortion — from politicians to practitioners.
We confess that we are a sinful nation to allow such atrocities, often for the sake of convenience, and we pray that justice will soon reign for all, including the unborn.John and Susie Busch

Street work harder to pay for now
To the editor:
In response to the Baker City Herald editorial board on Jan. 24 regarding the neglect of 10th Street.
Two decades ago when Main Street was rebuilt the construction started at South Bridge and Elm and extended to Pocahontas Road.
It was paid for by "partnering" with the state and the adjoining property owners were responsible for the L.I.D. (Local Improvement District) in the amount, on our part, of $40.63 per lineal foot.
We also had to pay for the drives and aprons. On North 10th Street the grade was lowered, widened and curbed.
In 1984 we still had our mill and logging industry to support this expense.
The timber receipts also helped support the schools and roads.Alice Knapp

Arrange asparagus and torn smoked salmon on the bread.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese, ground pepper and olive oil (optional) over the pizza.
Cook in the oven until the cheese is melted which does not take long.
Garnish the pizza with some chopped spring onion/dill.
Sounds worth trying. But how much salmon is 100 grams? what kind of bread is Lebanese bread, that the recipe takes 2?California John | Posted the 23/04/2010, 00:56

liistless betta...
So, I moved one of my bettas into a new tank a week or so ago because he wasn't doing too well with the African Dwarf frogs he was with. Anyway, the water is clean and stays clean, the parameters are fine, the temp is near 78 all the time, he isn't bloated, he eats immediately when feed, but the rest of the time he just kind of lays on top of a plant until i turn his light on or tap on the glass, then he swims around for a bit and goes back to just laying around. Any ideas on what it could be since everything else is fine? My other three bettas are fine. He was more alive in his small 1/2 gal holding tank than in the 2.5 heated one he's in now! It's beginning to worry me.
Hmm. How long have you had him? How long has he been in this new tank? It sounds like he may have a bit of shock in this new tank, or he just wants to rest.
Are you running a filter? If so, what is it?
Can you describe what you have in your tank, decoration-wise?
i'd say i've had him 6 weeks, maybe longer....he's been in this tank for a week or so....maybe closer to two weeks....(the days run together for me anymore)
there's gravel, a silk plant, and i recently added a castle hidey hole decoration. there's not a filter. The tank came with a 2.5 gallon Whisper filter, which I actually use in my 10 gal tank and the betta in the 10 gal still runs from the 2.5 gal filter even on low, so I hadn't tried the filter in the actual 2.5 gal tanks, my other bettas are doing fine without it.
Should I maybe try out the filter in it for a few days?
Possibly. What are your exact water parameters?
Did the tank get a chance to cycle first?
Are you using test strips or liquid tests? You could have some water quality issues and be getting a false reading if you're using test strips.
Sorry it took a bit to get back...
The parameters are
pH -- 7.0
Ammonia -- 0
Nitrate -- 0
Nitrite -- 0
And liquid test kits.
I wasn't doing a fishless cylce, I had to get him out of a tank with the African Dwarf Frogs so I was cycling with fish like we did our other 3 aquariums and they've been fine.
The water also has a funny smell to it and a murky film on the top.
I got pretty worried a couple of days ago about the condition of the water, I had done 25-50% water changes a couple days in a row and it was still murky and had this horrible stench to it. So I took Escher out of the tank and put him in a holding tank. I had continued to do water tests and the parameters had been fine and didn't know what else to do so I today stared the tank over completely. Thoroughly rinsing everything in hot hot hot water until it didn't smell anymore. I didn't really know what else to do. I'd tried treating it with a couple of things and the water cleared up some but it still was murky on top and smelled horrible. So now I'm waiting. I've treated the water with API Stress Coat and Stress Zyme and added a couple pellets and I'm going to wait a few days to reintroduce Escher. He's doing a lot better in his holding tank than he was in the other tank. I hope it works out this time.
Odd, except for there being no ammonia at all it sounds like your tank would been cycling and that being what was bugging him. Let your tap water sit out for a could days and see what happens...it could be something in there.

Black & Decker unveils lightweight Li-Ion rechargeable tool line
The VPX system revolves around using a 7-volt stick battery that works with all the tools. Here's the lineup: two drills, flashlight ($20), cut-off saw ($60), screwdriver ($60), hand vacuum ($40), air inflator ($30), and a power source ($20) that converts battery power for small devices like cell-phone chargers, MP3 players, etc. These tools will be sold a la carte, meaning you don't have to pay for a battery with each tool purchase. However, a good starting point will be a kit (screwdriver, cut-off saw, one battery, charger) for $99.

I just had light bleeding, I'm worried!
The first day of my last period was April 28, I have taken three tests, two positives and one negative. Not been to the doc yet, going next week, but assumed two positives I was pregnant. If that was the case, I would be about 8 weeks. I had light bleeding just a minute ago and am not sure if I should be worried. It was very light and since it just happened I don't know if it is continuous. I'm concerned that those might have been false positives. I need feedback please, I'm freaking out!

They are correct positives...there aren't any false positives for pregnancy tests, They either detected the hormones or not. I have had a evaporation line but those are so faint you can hardly see...I'm sure your pregnant congrats!posted 06/20/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
sometimes you can spot while pregnant my aunt did with all 3 of her kids if you are having pain you should go see ur dr right away if not baby should be fine but u still need to get a check from a dr. if bleeding persists or is accompanied by cramps or any abdominal pain call your ob right away good luck! hope all goes wellposted 06/21/2013 by T P Bernard
I'm certain they are NOT false positives. I had light bleeding during my first trimester and my baby was born very healthy. Could be from implantation. Congratulations!!!posted 06/20/2013 by Sessi28

Scouts learn cold-weather skills while ice fishing
After weeks of being inside and itching to get out and have some fun, the scouts of Boy Scout Troop 139 in Waterman traveled to Shabbona Lake Jan. 18 for some fishing. This was no everyday fishing trip; the boys, pelted with snow and blasted by wind, were bundled in layers of clothing carefully planned to keep the below-freezing temperatures at bay.

Is it possible to Autowire an object in a Validation class? I keep getting null for the object that is supposed to be Autowired...
Are your Validation class an enabled Spring bean ??? If not, you always will get null for your object autowired. Make sure you have enabled your Validation class.
And do not forget enable The Annotation config bean post-processor (see <context:annotation-config /> element)
How to enable your Validation class as a managed Spring bean. Either
1° By using xml (As shown above)
2° By using annotation instead (Notice @Component just above class)
But to enable Spring annotated component scanning, you must enable a bean-post processor (notice <context:component-scan element)
Inside your Controller, just do it (Do not use new operator)
Choose one of the following strategies
Your web app structure should looks like
Your web.xml should looks like (NOTICE contextConfigLocation context-param and ContextLoaderListener)
Your <SPRING-SERVLET-NAME>-servlet.xml should looks like (Notice i am using Spring 2.5 - replace if you are using 3.0)
Trying to follow what you show above, I am still getting a null pointer:

No Digital Channel 9 Reception
Posted 19 January 2008 - 11:15 AM
L4074 - http://www.dse.com.a...duct/View/L4074
Thanks in advance!
Posted 19 January 2008 - 11:42 AM
I assume you have read my "Get the best reception" post at the start of this strand and read its links NSW and Indoor antennas.
If you are on the lower North Shore, too much signal can also be a problem.
Are you in an apartment block?
I have not tested the antenna you mention.
When you post next could you please mention the suburb you are in.
Posted 19 January 2008 - 11:55 AM
Yes I have read the best reception post & its links
I am in the inner west @ Five Dock
I'm not in an apartment block
Am I missing something in the other threads? Should I be scanning other freqencys? Does channel 9 broadcast on more than one frequency? Or am I right just sticking w/ scanning 191625 kHz?
Should I be looking @ getting an attenuator instead? I have NO experience w/ this sort of thing, so please bear with me
Thanks again!
Edited by alternativeqwerty, 19 January 2008 - 11:57 AM.
Posted 19 January 2008 - 12:22 PM
On the "Get the best reception" use the link to coverage area and see if you are in the coverage area for Kings Cross.
In either case you will probably need an external antenna.
Posted 19 January 2008 - 01:17 PM
7 uses VHF 6 @ 177.5 MHz
9 uses VHF 8 @ 191.625 MHz
10 uses VHF 11 @ 219.5 MHz
The only difference is that 7 & 10 broadcast from Atarmon, where as 9 brodcasts from Willougby
From my understanding (and I may be wrong) They broadcast analogue & digital on the same frequency? So why is it that I can get analogue 9 & not digital?
Thanks mate
Posted 19 January 2008 - 01:50 PM
I have just checked reception at Concord and Leichhardt and all channels are working fine.
The coverage maps are indicative only and there are numerous things that can affect signals, especially when using an indoor antenna, such as the building itself, other buildings, trees, anything between your antenna and the transmitters, or even objects that are not directly in the signal path, but which signals bounce off... even people and furniture in the room!
It's possible you have too much signal. In that case, attenuators are required.
You need to have accurate signal measurements taken with a digital field strength meter, so you know exactly what the problem is, then a solution can be recommended.
Digital TV channels are not on the same frequencies as the analogue channels. (not in the same areas, anyway) Perhaps you are confusing this with both SD and HD digital signals being on the same frequency?
Apart from Artarmon and Willougby, ABC, SBS and D44 transmit from Gore Hill.
As alanh suggested, you could try the Kings Cross translators.
ABC... UHF 30 Hor 543.625 MHz
7........ UHF 48 Hor 669.500 MHz
9........ UHF 33 Hor 564.500 MHz
TEN.... UHF 45 Hor 648.500 MHz
SBS.... UHF 34 Hor 571.500 MHz
Note: There is no translator an Kings Cross for D44
Posted 19 January 2008 - 03:54 PM
I've solved the problem - I got the L4074 - & now ALL digital channels - so I guess you can add that model antenna to the list...
Yeah I tried scanning for channel 33 @ 564.500 MHz & I got nothing, so I figured I'd give the antenna a go - thankfully It paid off - I might mount it outside tomorrow so I have a clear line of site w/ less interference from the things in this room.
Thanks again for you time
Posted 19 January 2008 - 04:06 PM
Which channels did you end up with... the main VHF channels, or the Kings Cross UHF translators?
Posted 19 January 2008 - 04:38 PM
there's your problem, you were fooled by Dick Smith Staff into getting that one, $2 Rabbit Ears tend to work better than these.
EDIT: ok, in this case it may have worked properly, but it usually doesn't work "as well" as $2 rabbit ears.
Posted 20 January 2008 - 01:31 PM
True it is pretty expensive, & yes I was getting good reception w/ the el cheapo rabbit ears, but no channel 9 was a real annoyance... I am thinking that maybe it is just b/c of the 6M quadshield cable I picked up that has allowed me to pick up channel 9 (I just tested it with the rabbit ears and it works). However, I can mount this antenna outside, which I will proberly do @ some point...
So yeah, it may be that the L4074 is a waste (Seems like it ) However, it works - so maybe its a better idea for people in my situation to just get the cable and move the rabbit ears around (if you don't mind the aesthetics )
Thanks all
Posted 02 February 2009 - 01:13 PM
Set the TV up yesterday, and it auto-tuned all channels except for Channel 9. The first time, it was missing both Ch7 and Ch9, but after re-tuning, Ch7 is fine now. Re-tuning still didn't get Ch9 again. I can get Ch9 on analogue but it's clearly snowy in picture. Only message on the TV is weak/no signal, which doesn't really help.
When I get home, I will try re-tuning manually to 191625 MHz but am pretty sure we tried the manual tuning to that default frequency last night with no success.
Anyone have a suggestion?
Posted 02 February 2009 - 06:01 PM
Indoor antennas in your situation are very poor.
You need a split of the outdoor antenna. It would be best to replace the antenna for one designed for digital ie one designed for channels 6 - 36, or band 3 & 4.
See the first post in this strand for more details.
Posted 08 February 2009 - 08:07 PM
Posted 09 February 2009 - 02:37 PM
Analog reception was not bad, but have had Fox cable on for past 15yrs and have not worried about free to air for some time, possibly antenna is to old?
Posted 09 February 2009 - 08:38 PM
The usual cause for this is corrosion in the antenna.
You would be better off buying a unipolar Band 3 & 4 antenna. See the link for brands etc in Get the Best Reception, Sydney and read the links.
Posted 09 February 2009 - 09:57 PM
I have a feeling this is the beginning of a long line of replacements for the cabling in my place?
Just saw a post about multi connections "F" type splitter, my splitter is of the old plastic cover type for coax cable connections.
So i think i might have to do some updating across the board. Ah well so much for a free weekend?
Thank you for the advice will keep in touch.
Posted 21 February 2009 - 12:01 AM
This site has two buildings, each with identical antennas. Ch9 has only disappeared on one of them. Retuning hasn't worked. Maybe it will just re-appear in a few weeks :-)
Posted 01 March 2009 - 10:31 PM
Posted 03 March 2009 - 06:32 AM
I wonder if it's the major building work at Hurstville [the old Containers Ltd redevelopment at Allawah/Hurstville for example] impacting suburbs south of there? I note a Penshurst issue also on this forum and we're south of Penshurst.
Posted 03 March 2009 - 06:34 AM
Posted 03 March 2009 - 04:08 PM
It sounds as if the new building is blocking your signal. If cranes are being used they will vary the signal as will some metals being lifted. After the cranes are gone, there will be no improvements.
You may perhaps have a clear view to the Elan Building in Kings Cross. If so you need a band 4+ Yagi antenna and perhaps a UHF masthead amplifier.
The best thing to do is to wait until the outside of the building is complete and then get an antenna installer to measure the signals for the error rates to select the best transmitter site option and appriate antenna.

1)- We live in a Hurstville, Sydney apartment with no roof antenna available. The unit is right on the road though, on ground level, so I dont think reception could be such a big problem?
2)- Using the L4016 from DSE we can scan every channel except any of those provided by Channel 9 (TCN).
3)- I have tried every conceivable antenna direction and height and adjustment of the amplifier/gain all to no avail!
I dont understand how to read the documents available on this site and I have no idea, so can I ask:
1)- How do I direct my antenna to the Channel 9 broadcast tower. Where is it? Which suburb?
2)- If Channel 9 isnt showing but the rest of the channels are, is it due to the fact, and I read this here somewhere, that the signal is actually too strong? If so, how do I 'dampen' the signal if even lowering the amplifier doesnt work?
3)- On my antenna is the big grey middle section for UHF and the two rabbit ears for VHF? Should I focus on one of those doing something special?
4)- What is the frequency of the Channel 9 channels (especially GO!)? Are they on UHF or VHF? I seem to have read that they are on both. Would manually tuning the channels in work? Do I tune in just one frequency or do I do one for each of the Channel 9 channels?
5)- Can anyone recommend an antenna in my situation?
I am so sorry for all the questions!

Free Kids' Haircuts Every SundayHeather Sokol
My girls were 2 of the 1.6 million kids to get free haircuts from JCPenney through their August back-to-school promotion. The stylists did a fabulous job, the girls enjoyed our day at the mall, and I loved that it only cost me a few dollars tip.
It looks like this can now be a regular, family tradition — JCPenney is bringing back free haircuts this November and has plans to make it permanent! Every Sunday, kids from kindergarten to 6th grade can get a free haircut from any JCPenney stylist.
You'll likely need an appointment, but I can see it being a fun day out on a lazy Sunday. Lunch, haircuts, holiday shopping, maybe? Plus, if this truly does become a permanent part of JCPenney's marketing strategy, it won't be difficult to reschedule your next Sunday appointment before you even leave the salon!

Sounds like labor is near. The jelly like stuff was most likely part, if not all, of your mucous plug falling out. When your body prepares itself right before labor it let's out hormones that cause diarrhea. And the pressure on your bum is probably the baby in position, ready to come out! Not sure about the constant pain though. Maybe try taking a bath to relax your muscles. Wouldn't hurt to call your ob, they may have some better input or suggestions.posted 11/16/2012 by Kmd52090

My old computer "died" despite many attempts to fix it. I have ordered a new Dell Inspiron, 64 bit, 8 GB ram that comes with Windows 8 installed. It should arrive tomorrow.
I have some complicated work projects going on that I have been working on in Windows 7 and I DO NOT have time to screw around with Windows 8 and all the issues I've read about.
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get rid of Windows 8 and re-install Windows 7. I just don't want to "mess up" my brand new computer
Thank you for your help
Nearly all programs that work with Windows 7 work with Windows 8, so there is a good chance that you "should" be able to continue nearly as normal. I can't promise you will like Windows 8, but I also believe much of the bad press is hype. Really the only things you need to remember is that with Windows 8, the Start button is not visible - it is still there - you just click in the corner to go to Start; and that the Start Menu is now full screen (called Start Screen). Everything previously found in the Start Menu is available from the Start Screen (plus newly added content tiles, such as pictures, videos, etc.), and there is a traditional "desktop" from which most applications still run and from which you will continue to do 90% of your work.
However, if you really need to go back to Windows 7, you can do that too. If you purchased the computer without Windows 8 Pro, then you will need to purchase Windows 7 (Retail license and disc) to install on your computer. If you purchased the PC with Windows 8 Pro, then you can downgrade to Windows 7 Pro by obtaining your own media and activating via Microsoft (not Dell) over the phone.
You will also need to track down drivers for installing Windows 7. Which model Inspiron (and model number) did you purchase?
I really appreciate your response. I got my new Dell i7, 64 bit, 8 mb ram computer today. I have spent the day screwing with it and let me tell you I am disgusted.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE this Windows 8. Microsoft is apparently BLIND to the fact that I use this computer to do WORK with!!!!! I do not give [ADMIN NOTE: Profanity removed per TOU] about social network active tiles etc. I also resent that I have to sign in to a stupid Microsoft network to boot up. They are trying to turn Microsoft into a "Apple like" company complete with a store etc. Only Apple works!!!
I am contacting Dell first thing in the morning and sending this computer back. Either they can reconfigure it with Windows 7 or they can keep it a
Do what makes you most comfortable - at this point Windows 7 is still an option on many new computers (although not all models offer Windows 7). In a year, it probably won't be available on a new computer. Windows 7, then, like now, will still be available to anyone to be installed on any system ... on their own.
Not everyone will adapt in one day, learning to undo 20 years of Start Menu habits. It took me a few hours to "get" it, and a day or two completely adjust. I do a LOT of work, of a LOT of different kinds, and other than a couple of hours when I first started, I have not missed a beat going to Windows 8. There also exists a program called Start8 that can return the familiar feel/behavior of Windows 7.
I don't even have Social Networking set up on my PC's - that's not a deal breaker. You DON'T have to sign in with a Microsoft account - you can skip that and create a "local" account (you just can't sync settings or obtain apps from the store unless you do). A Microsoft account can also be created using ANY email address - not just a Microsoft email account (live.com, msn.com, hotmail.com, outlook.com, etc.).
The "store" paradigm is not an "Apple" thing ... it has pretty much become an industry standard practice (Google, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. all have their own stores to better control the QUALITY and INTEGRITY of the apps available on their devices and the OS software on which they run) ... Microsoft's downside is that their store is so young - given time, they will have many quality apps just as the other providers do. Programs can be installed in Windows 8 just like in Windows 7 - "tiled" apps do not have to be used at all, if you don't want.
I wish you luck.
I recently received a new Dell Laptop Inspiron with Windows 8 and I can say I Hate Windows as much as the previous writer. I don't have a problem navigating the start up tiles, I have a problem finding my files after I have saved them. Example, I uploaded a file to USAJobs and changed it in Microsoft to reload it. It was not in recent docs or Microsoft. I never had this problem before getting the new computer.
It will usually ask you where you want to save files that you download from the Internet and modify ... and Microsoft Office apps, by default, in Windows V/7/8 will save in C:\Users\yourusername\Documents ... if it did not save it there, then check Word's settings to see where it has been set to save files.
You might check your IE cache files just in case you saved it there somehow:
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\somefolder
You can also search your PC for the filename and/or text inside the file, either from the Start Screen or from Windows Explorer.
Me three. Win8 is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I realize the masses are dumbing down but some of us would like to control our own computers, thank you. This "microsoft knows best" is complete and utter, arrogant.
Bad move by ms, bad move by dell.
I did get to talk to some nice guys in India however.
Very funny. The kept calling win8 removal a downgrade.
Apparently, Dell can't do anything to help me unless I buy another OS, then they will gladly help me install it, hurray!
very frustrating and very disappointing

Patient Comments: Group B Strep - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with group B strep.
Comment from: Gramma4566, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: October 22
I am still dealing with heart, lung, and pancreas damage 7 years after a strep B acquired during surgery with dirty hands/instruments. Aortic valve stenosis will require surgery for repair. I am still on insulin. Lung biopsy along with heart valve repair to treat inflamed scar tissue still there after 7 years. The gift that keeps on giving.
Comment from: Collp, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: June 01
I tested positive at 32 weeks for strep B, but when my son was born, we both were given high doses of antibiotics. Mine were intravenously given, his given in three doses within a 24 hour period. My son, we found out, 6 weeks later didn't have strep B. However, fast forward 5 years and my son now has autism and a mild intellectual disability. I don't understand, if I am a carrier why didn't I have this with my first son. I wonder if men can be carriers of strep B. It's so strange to have strep B with one child but not the other. Only difference I have seen was a metal clamp used while doing a Pap test. Also they tell us our babies' immune system needs to build up after birth but we are making them weaker by giving all these antibiotics! Too bad there isn't a way to test quicker after a baby is born to check to see who needs antibiotics or not. I wonder if there is a link between autism and antibiotics.
Comment from: lynnec, 35-44 Female (Caregiver) Published: May 04
After giving birth to my daughter she was taken from me at birth as she was not breathing, we didn't even know what sex she was as they ran to intensive care with her. Later that day she made a recovery and all was well. My daughter is now 7 years old and although she looks a normal healthy girl she has severe learning difficulties, she's almost 8 and she can't read, write or spell. We're now going through all sorts of tests to see how much damage has been done to brain due to the strep B. I would never have known about any of this as I didn't even know what strep B was until I started researching it recently. I wish all the children with strep B all the best and hope there isn't as much damage to their brains as there is to my daughter's.
Comment from: Gurlygirl, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: September 16
I have been having frequent urination, lower left back pain, lower abdominal spasms, and my bladder felt full all of the time. I went to several doctors in 2013 and they tested me for everything under the sun, to no avail. I went to another doctor three weeks ago and the test came back positive for group B strep. I had no clue what that was. She treated me with amoxicillin and then a week later it came back. Now I am on Augmentin for 10 days. I am hoping this goes away. I don't have any children, and I don't know how I could've gotten this bacteria or how it became active.

My experience with strep B is burning on the inside of my vagina as if someone has lit a match and placed it in my vagina. I have not had any success with antibiotics. The urologist I see is not concerned because she stated that the colonies were not significant enough to worry about.
Comment from: kelik, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: October 01
I thought I had a yeast infection so I called and my doctor, who gave me 3 days of Diflucan. I went in to see the doctor because my symptoms had improved but not gone away. They did a pap test and the only thing they found was group B strep. I don't understand how or why I have a group B infection in my vagina.

When I was 23 I gave birth to a full term baby boy in 1995. He was doing well so I went to rest since I was in labor for over 8 hours with him. About 2 hours later I was awakened by the nurse telling me that they had to get blood from me and that they were trying to get my son stabilized. The nurse told me that they were going to transport him to the children's hospital because they didn't have the equipment there to treat him. My obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) came in shortly after that and he did a culture on me. It came back that I had group B strep. They were able to get my son's blood pressure stabilized and they transported him. My OB/GYN released me so that I could be with my son. As my husband showed up to take me to the hospital where they had transported my son we got a call at the hospital where he was born at and the paramedic proceeded to tell me that my son had passed away in the middle of transport. After I did further research on the group B infection it turned out that I had it in 1989 also when I gave birth to my daughter. She is mentally and physically disabled. Some of her mental disorders are sight impairment, hearing impairment and her feet quit growing. She's 25 and only wears a size 3 shoe. She also has 18 chromosomal disorder and that's where the rest of her disabilities falls in. Then in 1997 my husband and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy again but this time the doctor would not let me go into natural labor, he scheduled me to be induced a week early so that way they could give me antibiotics before the labor really kicked in. We now have a very healthy 16 year old but I always sit and wonder if it only took 30 seconds to swab the inside of the uterus why didn't the doctors test for that a long time ago. I have two very special children one my baby girl and two my guardian angel who passed away at 7 hours and 56 minutes old. All I can say to any pregnant woman is please get tested for this disease.

The GC42 cassette cog is so big that when machining the first batch, the machinist thought he made a mistake! If being big is cool then the GC42 cassette cog is the coolest cog around. This cog is made with the precision and finish our customers have come to expect from WTC.
This cassette sprocket is for use only with SRAM brand 10spd X5, X7, and X9 cassettes. It is NOT compatible with any other brand or model of cassette. The shift points are properly timed to the tooth locations on the 36T SRAM cog for optimal shifting performance.
Use of this cassette sprocket requires removal of the 17T cog & spacer from your cassette.
A longer (25mm) "B-screw" on the rear derailleur isn't needed in most cases. If you do need a longer B-screw to get the correct amount of clearance, you can order them directly from WTC or go to your local hardware store and pick up an M4 x 25 socket head cap screw.
You may need a longer chain that what is presently on your bike. Make sure that when shifted to the 42T cog, there is still some amount of forward travel possible with the rear derailleur cage. This is especially important on bikes with rear suspension. We have tested with Shimano, KMC & SRAM chains – all function well.
Only compatible with:
Needed to lighten up a fatty. this was a great way to do it. The 42 gave me plenty of low end torque when converting from 2x to 1x
Works great. I've had no issues using this for a season. In sandy trails with varied conditions. This works great for a 1 x10 conversion.

I'm honored to be speaking at the NORD Breakthrough Summit on Rare Diseases and Orphan Products in October. Social media, as I continue to learn more every day, is an always changing, rapidly moving, fickle and funny world. Trends can get hot and can come and go overnight, and others go on and on (ALS). Our journey for the last year has been to advocate and fundraise for Sanfilippo Syndrome, with which my 4-year-old daughter Eliza was diagnosed. This rapidly degenerative, terminal disease has no treatment to slow it, and no cure..but a clinical trial is potentially only months away. We've been fortunate to have some ideas take off and be successful in the social media world, like the 3- minute viral video at www.SavingEliza.com, which raised over $1M in less than 3 months. At the NORD Summit, I will talk about how that came to be and lessons learned along the way.
I woke up this morning in a great mood. Something wonderful happened last night. Let's see, what was it? Oh yeah, that Jeopardy question. Ugh. Then there was the realization that the moment was over, for good. Done and gone. So fleeting fame can be. read more >
Over the last couple of weeks, our community of cystinosis families has been enriched by an exchange of "med-art" that began with a Facebook post by Clinton Moore, a dad of a child with cystinosis. He shaped the morning dose of pills that his son, Chandler, takes into a smiley face. He then posted it to make other families smile. read more >
When I was pregnant, I was told that my son would be born with holoprosencephaly – a very serious condition that most children don't survive. In fact, so few children survive that I really didn't know who to turn to for help. read more >
The rare community has made huge strides in the 30 years that have elapsed since the Orphan Drug Act was passed. There are more new treatments and there is more investment in research and more awareness of rare diseases than ever before. But what about diagnosis? Are we getting better at diagnosing rare diseases? read more >

(Colorado Springs-AP) -- The El Paso County district attorney's office is vowing to re-prosecute a man accused in a 1997 gang shooting.
Friday a judge declared a mistrial in the first-degree murder trial of Ernie Joseph Medina when jurors failed to reach a verdict after 28 hours of deliberation.
Medina was accused of killing 13-year-old Steven ``Gino'' Romero. Even though he didn't pull the trigger prosecutors say Medina helped plan the murder and hunt him down.
But jurors say they were troubled by the fact that Medina wasn't even in the car from which the teen was shot.

Majors John and Lani Chamness have received marching orders from The Salvation Army, and will be reporting in June to new positions as the Divisional Commanders of the Hawaii and Pacific Island Division of The Salvation Army.
The Chamnesses have been with The Salvation Army Kroc Center in Coeur d'Alene since its inception in 2006.
They helped lead the initial bid to bring a Kroc Center to Coeur d'Alene.
In a press release announcing the couple's upcoming departure, they were recognized for spearheading the planning and construction of the building. They have overseen fundraising, the planning of Kroc Church, the creation of the Advisory Board and more.
Together, the Chamnesses have been officers in The Salvation Army for 23 years, and have been assigned to many different locations including Kona, HI; the Marshall Islands; Seattle and Coeur d'Alene.
"Lani and I are excited for the opportunity to return to Hawaii and serve as Divisional Commanders. However, it is bittersweet—in the six years that we have lived in Coeur d'Alene, it has truly become our home," Chamness said, in the prepared statement. "We are sad to leave this wonderful community that worked hard to turn their dream of a community center into a reality that is 16,000 members strong."
Kroc Center Associate Officer Major Ben Markham will be stepping into the role of Kroc Center Executive Director. Major Ben and his wife, Major JoAnn Markham, have been officers of The Salvation Army for over 33 years and have been at The Kroc Center since March 2009.
Major Ben currently serves as The Kroc Center's Director of Operations and Business, and his wife serves as the Associate Director of Women's Ministry. Prior to their assignment at The Kroc Center, the Markhams served in Denver; Billings, Mont; Eugene, Ore.; Portland, Ore.; and Spokane.

The United States workforce, like the population in general, is becoming more ethnically diverse. "We are and always will be a nation of immigrants," President Obama stated recently in announcing his initiative on immigration reform. The Pew Research Center's Hispanic Trends Project estimates that immigrants will make up roughly 23% of adults of working age in 2050, up from 15% in 2005 (Passel & Cohn, 2008). It is also predicted that immigrants and their children will make up 83% of the growth in the working age population of the U.S. during this same time period (Congressional Budget Office, 2005). Immigration from Latin America to the U.S. has grown dramatically over the past 2 decades and will figure prominently in these numbers. Currently, about 18 million Latino immigrants live in the U.S. (Batalova & Terrazas, 2010).
Latino workers suffer significantly higher rates of workplace fatalities (5.0 per 100,000 workers) than all workers combined (4.0), non-Latino white workers (4.0) or non-Latino black workers (3.7) (Cierpich, Styles, Harrison, et al., 2008). Considered alone, Latino immigrants to the U.S. have a workplace fatality rate of 5.9 per 100,000 which is almost 50% higher than the rate for all workers (4.0). In 2013, two-thirds of work-related deaths among Latinos were among foreign-born individuals, up from slightly more than half in 1992. These data suggest that fatalities among immigrant workers may be the driving force behind the elevated rates of workplace injuries and illnesses among Latinos in the U.S.

Alleged serial bank robber nabbed by Roseville police
Area bank tellers may be breathing a sigh of relief this afternoon, after Roseville and Rocklin police officers teamed up to arrest Randy Wesley Penny — suspected of robbing two U.S. Bank branches last week.
Roseville police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said a break in the investigation came after detectives released surveillance photos of their suspect in the Jan. 22 robbery at the U.S. Bank inside the Safeway on Sunrise Avenue. As investigators worked to identify the man in the images, another robbery occurred at the U.S. Bank branch inside the Safeway on Woodcreeks Oaks Boulevard.
Gunther said detectives soon received a tip from "someone who had seen the surveillance photos and recognized the robber."
According to police, that tip helped identify Penny, a 31-year-old resident of Antelope, as the main suspect. Evidence also allegedly links Penny to two car thefts in the Sierra Gardens area of Roseville, as well as a car theft in Antelope.
Gunther said around 1:40 a.m. today a Rocklin police officer on patrol located and arrested Penny. The suspect was booked into the Placer County Jail on robbery and auto theft charges. His bail was set at $155,000.
Roseville police statistics released last week show that armed robberies, strong arm robberies and all forms of bank robberies nearly doubled from 2011 to 2012.

Presidents understand that most problems in foreign affairs take care of themselves. But some of the most important ones don't. The Iraq-Iran issue is, I think, one of those, and given the reduction of U.S. troops in 2011, this is the year decisions will have to be made.

Roseville woman is honored with Lengfeld golf trophy
Pat Keys of Roseville received the Pacific Women's Golf Association's Helen Lengfeld trophy, awarded annually for outstanding service.
Keys is a member of the Diamond Oaks Women's Golf Club in Roseville and the PWGA Rules Committee. She is a past president of the PWGA and served on the board in several roles, according to a news release. She also has worked with the USGA, NCGA, California Women's Championship, Sacramento County Golf, California Golf Association and The First Tee.
"Pat has gone above and beyond in her commitments to golf. She has been a wonderful teacher and mentor," Caroline O'Brien, executive director of the PWGA, said in an e-mail. "She leads by example to the juniors exemplifying courtesy, respect and integrity in all her actions."
O'Brien noted that Keys keeps a calm demeanor when enforcing a rule.
"She … can even add a little humor to a difficult situation," O'Brien said in the e-mail. "One player who was assessed a rules penalty said, '(Keys) was so sweet about it, I felt like I ought to thank her for the penalty.'"
Lengfeld organized the PWGA in 1947.
Alexander shoots, he scores
Oakmont High School graduate Cole Alexander, making his first start this season, scored one of five goals in the second half that lifted Missouri State (6-5-2, 3-0 Missouri Valley Conference) to a 5-1 victory over Missouri-Kansas City on Tuesday in Springfield, Mo.
Alexander's goal gave the Bears a 2-1 lead. The sophomore forward has two goals and one assist this season. He has appeared in 11 games for the Bears, who have won four matches in a row.

From: Rep. Luke Messer
Washington, D.C.
Received: April 26
For months, America has been mired in a debate about "sequestration." As almost everyone knows by now, the sequester calls for $85 billion in federal spending cuts from our nation's more than $3.6 trillion budget. $85 billion is unquestionably a lot of money, but it represents 2 percent of our total budget, or two pennies out of every dollar the federal government spends.
Last week, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) received a lot of publicity for its choice to implement sequestration cuts in a most high profile and painful way.
The anxiety started when the FAA began furloughing air traffic controllers across the country, claiming the choice was required in response to sequestration. This trouble followed an earlier announcement in March that the FAA would close 149 contract air traffic control towers, including the one operating at the Columbus Municipal Airport as part of its sequestration implementation plan.
Closing the contract air traffic control tower in Columbus is a very bad idea.
The airport plays an important role, not only to the local economy but to our national defense, providing around-the-clock access at no cost to the military. The airport's economic impact benefiting Columbus is an estimated
$650 million.
It boggles the mind that the FAA would have to resort to furloughing employees or closing contract air traffic control towers to implement this sort of budget reduction.
Over the past 10 years, the FAA's operating budget has increased by almost $3 billion, or about 30 percent, while the number of flights has dropped by 23 percent. Given these trends, the FAA should be able to live within the parameters of sequestration without jeopardizing public safety.
To remove any doubt, on April 26, the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan, common-sense law that provides the secretary of transportation with enhanced flexibility to prevent the closure of contract air traffic control towers and halt the furloughs of air traffic controllers.
The FAA should use this newly authorized flexibility to re-evaluate all of its spending priorities. Air traffic control towers and public safety personnel should be the last places targeted for further reductions, not the first.
My hope is the president will stop the political posturing and work with Congress to replace the indiscriminate manner of the cuts made under sequestration with a more targeted approach. There is no shortcut.
Washington can't tax its way out of this fiscal mess. The federal government must live within its means.
I reject the premise that we can't lower spending, even a little, without serious pain and suffering. That just doesn't make sense when the government spends more than a trillion dollars it doesn't have each year, running up a huge tab on our children and grandchildren. This debt is the real threat to our way of life.
I am willing to work with the president to make more intelligent spending cuts so we can begin reducing the deficit and paying down the debt.
I am not willing to ask taxpayers to give Washington more of their hard-earned money so it can be squandered while the government spends without restraint.
It is time to make decisions. It is time to set priorities.
It is time to control spending, sensibly.

No luck in the goldfish tank the anacharis was one big salad bar - so I threw some in the betta tank and it didn't grow there either (might be a lighting issue there) but now I have snails in the betta tank - none in the goldfish tank (but they might have eaten them).
Ugh! Back to the drawing board for my plants/fish....
how long did you wait for it to grow?
I have some in my 10 gallon, and it's growing rather slowly.
well its been about 2.5 weeks - and the stems turned to brown mush - that disintegrated and made a HUGE mess in my tank. There was NO green left at all...
try a banana plant with the goldfish.
otherwise, plastic plants or even better silk as the look more realistic.
I never had a live plant with the goldfish, only plastic since they were always uprooting them.
Goldfish being plant eaters, it would be best to try something like Java Fern. You attach it to rocks or wood (not in the substrate). I've never heard of any fish that will eat JF. And it does fine in room temperatures; I had it grow like mad in my amphibian vivarium (under the water) for years. Doesn't need much light either.
I agree about the JF, would try hornwort (ceratophyllum submersum, not demersum) and maybe anubias.

NuSkope's reputation as a reliable, fast and South Australian owned internet service provider combined with competitive pricing has seen the company grow rapidly.
NuSkope considers this acquisition as a valuable opportunity to strengthen and broaden our internet services. We understand that you rely on us in your daily life and in business and we aim to ensure that we continue to provide you with the same quality of service, and continue to improve that service.
While we migrate the Devoted System into NuSkope we will not be taking new orders for approximately two weeks (starting 13/Apr/16) We plan to have the migration completed shortly and release some existing new plans for new customers. Existing customers will have the choice to remain on their existing plan or swap over to a NuSkope plan.
The members area will be offline for a few days while we migrate to the NuSkope system

People are getting more serious about protecting personal data
The security industry is kidding itself if it thinks otherwise
THE UK INFORMATION COMMISSIONER says people are becoming increasingly serious about protecting their personal data online.
At the 2012 Information Security conference in London today, UK Information Commissioner Christopher Graham told The INQUIRER, "[The security industry] is kidding itself if it believes people aren't serious about protecting their personal data online."
The statement comes in light of the recent studies released by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which conducted a mystery shopping exercise. These studies, which illustrated how people are doing stupid things like giving away and selling hard drives with their personal data on them, found that people are becoming vulnerable to threats linked to data theft.
The ICO's survey also showed that, although people are likely to do silly things that expose their data, many are increasingly concerned about protecting their data online.
"Our latest track puts protecting people's personal information only a few notches lower in the list of the big concerns people have below preventing crime," Graham said.
"92 per cent are concerned or very concerned about preventing crime, where 89 per cent are concerned or very concerned in protecting people's personal information - and that's higher than concerns over unemployment, the NHS and Schools."
In regards to the companies who think this might not be the case, Graham said, "It's a wake-up call."
He added, "The types of companies that [understand people's concerns] will start respecting their customers. Companies who think 'well, we'll take our customers for suckers' will learn the hard way that that's never a good idea."
It might be that people simply need to make the connection between how they would ideally like to protect their personal information and actively doing something about it, that is, stop being stupid. µ
