About Hal:
I was born in Kewanee, IL in 1950, which makes me over a half a century old. I am the son of a small town family physician. I moved to Omaha, NE for my advanced education. I came to Kansas City in 1975 to do my internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology at St. Luke's Hospital on the Country Club Plaza. I fell in love with the Kansas City area and have been living in Overland Park since 1979, when I started my OB/GYN practice. I have raised my children here and now have grandchildren living in the area.
My practice is limited to gynecology only. I have published articles on the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence and also on abnormal cervical cytology.
I enjoy offering opinions and thoughts and working through problems concerning women and their healthcare needs. I feel it is very important to make sure women take an active part in decision-making when it comes to health problems that they may encounter. My practice is very informal and I have a very low-key informal attitude towards healthcare. I feel that my "small-town son-of-a-family-doctor" roots have made me a very good listener and very attentive physician to the needs of women.
I love spending leisure time at the Lake of the Ozarks where all my family members return each summer for fun and festivities.
Dr. Hal Younglove has been awarded 2012 Best Doctors in Kansas City, as featured in "Kansas City Business Journal".

About Mark:
As a native of Kansas City, I graduated from Shawnee Mission South HS. After attending Tulane University in New Orleans for 2 years, I graduated from the University of Kansas, then the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. My residency in OB/GYN was completed while on active duty in the U.S. Army at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, HI. I then spent 3 years at the U.S. Army Hospital, Berlin, West Germany including a year as Chief of OB/GYN.
I have enjoyed delivering thousands of babies over the last 34 years and have an interest in high-risk obstetric patients. In addition, when it comes to gynecology, I particularly enjoy minimally-invasive (laparoscopic) surgery and am very interested in all aspects of menopausal therapy.
My wife, Kathy, and I have four grown children who have blessed us with four terrific grandchildren. I really enjoy traveling (especially cruising) as well as snow skiing, scuba diving and working out.

About Tim:
I was born in 1962 in Kansas City and have lived here all my life. After graduating from Barstow High School in 1981, I went directly into the six-year medical program at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. I subsequently did my residency from 1987 to 1991 in OB/GYN, also at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. I have been practicing with The Women's Healthcare Group since graduating from residency in 1991 as an OB/GYN. I currently serve as president of the group. I offer a broad range of treatment options for women, including gynecology and obstetrics, with a special interest in laparoscopic procedures, laprascopically assistanced vaginal hysterectomy and da Vinci robotically assisted surgery. I find this very rewarding.
Outside of my medical practice, I live happily in south Johnson County with my wife, Janice, who is a pediatrician, and our two daughters, Michelle and Melissa. I try to go snow skiing once a year, given the opportunity, and have foolishly taken up the sport of golf in the last several years. Most of all, I really enjoy my job and the fact that I get to help people every day.

About Kathleen:
I graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine in 1980 and completed my OB/GYN residency at Truman Medical Center. My special interest in medicine is adolescent gynecology and the correction of pelvic pain. I formerly served as president of the medical staff at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. I am active in the Medical Mission Foundation, which is located here in Kansas City. In addition, I have taught laparoscopically assisted surgery in Romania and Panama.
When I am not busy with my medical practice I like to spend time with my husband, Jerry, on our farm where we love to ride our horses and care for our animals.

About Margaret:
After graduating from the University of Kansas School of Medicine I completed my residency in OB/GYN at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. After residency, I entered into private practice in Madison. In 1995 I moved back to Kansas City; joining the faculty of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Kansas Medical Center. In 1997 I joined The Women's Healthcare Group. I have a special interest in perimenopausal and menopausal transitions as well as contemporary management of abnormal pap smears. I am a perpetual student who delights in expanding my knowledge and enjoys incorporating holistic practices with conventional medicine in both management of disease as well as wellness. In addition I am a certified yoga teacher. I also have a degree in Forestry and I am still an avid environmentalist & enjoy native plant gardening.

About Tony:
I was born in Manhattan, KS and received my undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. I obtained my degree in medicine at the University of Health Sciences in Kansas City, MO. I completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Wright State University School of Medicine in Dayton, OH, where I was appointed administrative chief my last year of residency.
I am a native of Kansas City and was delighted to return home following my residency. I am board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and have been practicing with The Women's Healthcare Group since 2003. I enjoy all aspects of women's healthcare with a special interest in advanced laparoscopy, gynecologic surgery and the treatment of urinary incontinence. I feel patients need to be active in the decision-making process of their care and enjoy educating my patients on all options across the spectrum of female issues.
I am married and have two children, and enjoy traveling and spending time with my family and friends.
Joined WHCG: 2004
About Kim:
I am a "born and raised" Kansas Citian. I spent part of my college and all of my medical school years in my father's original home, St. Louis, MO, and consider it my second home. However, I am delighted to be raising my family here. I have been in practice in Johnson County since 1987 and have been primarily associated with Overland Park Regional Medical Center and Shawnee Mission Medical Center; my two current hospital affiliations.
My practice includes office and surgical gynecology. My practice style emphasizes educating women regarding their health so they can fully participate in maintaining their health, both preventively and in coping with problems which arise. I feel patient involvement is essential to leading a long, healthy life.
My time outside of the office is filled with my children's activities including lacrosse and volleyball. We enjoy traveling, particularly to Sarasota, FL where my parents spent winters for many years.

About Courtney:
As a daughter of a gynecologist and the granddaughter of a small town family physician, I knew that someday I too would enter the field of medicine. During my college years I took all of the courses required to gain entry into medical school, but also divided my time among a variety of liberal arts classes, eventually earning my degree in women's studies. During medical school, I found that the area of women's health held the greatest interest for me and chose a residency in obstetrics and gynecology. I spent four years in Kansas City, MO learning as much as possible about women's health. After completing my residency training in June of 2005, I joined this practice and plan to stay in Overland Park for the remainder of my career.
I have three little boys, Connor, Sawyer and Tanner. When I am not working, you can find me hanging out with my boys, either playing at the park or playing cars. I am very family-oriented. I have a lot of family members in the area and enjoy spending time with them. In the few moments I have to myself each week, I enjoy reading books and scrap booking.
A large percentage of my practice right now is obstetrics, which I enjoy immensely. Having recently had three children myself, I feel a special bond with my pregnant patients and enjoy being a part of their growing families. I have a special interest in preconception counseling and educating women about the normal changes that occur with pregnancy. I also enjoy the field of adolescent gynecology, as it too allows me to educate women about their bodies. I have a fairly informal practice and try to encourage my patients to take an active part in their healthcare decision making.
Joined WHCG: 2007
Birthplace: Van Wert, OH
About Mike:
I was born and raised in the small town of Van Wert, OH. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Wittenberg University on a business scholarship. After working for nearly ten years in business, I experienced medicine from a very personal perspective - as a parent at my own child's bedside. This experience motivated me to pursue medicine as a career, and I feel it has made me a more caring physician.
I received my degree in medicine from Vanderbilt University in 1999 where I graduated first in my class, and was voted as the graduate that fellow classmates would most like to have as their own personal physician. I completed my residency at Wright State University, where I was co-administrative chief with Dr. Moulton, and received the John J. Halki Exemplary-Physician award.
After residency, I served in the Air Force as staff OB/GYN at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio. I also held a faculty teaching position at the Uniformed Health Sciences University School of Medicine, and was appointed by the Air Force Surgeon General to serve on a national healthcare committee. I am board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
I joined The Women's Health Care Group in 2007 after completing my Air Force commitment. My practice consists of general office and surgical gynecology, treatment of urinary incontinence, and obstetrics. There are more treatment options available today than ever before, and I enjoy working closely with my patients to explore all options. I am a good communicator, and it is important to me that patients understand their healthcare decisions.
Outside of work, I live in Leawood with my wife, Barbara, and my three children, Alex, Lindsey, and Ben. My personal time is largely spent with family activities and attending my children's multitude of sporting events. My wife is an avid runner, and we all love snow skiing. We love living in Kansas City and plan to stay here for the remainder of my career.

About Emily:
I grew up in Great Bend, KS and attended a private arts college in Winfield, KS where I met my husband, Brian. After graduating from the University Of Kansas School Of Medicine, we set out on our first big adventure, and farthest location from family. We moved to Temple, TX where we spent four years so I could complete my residency training at Scott and White Memorial Hospital. There I received a comprehensive gynecologic surgery experience, including advanced laparoscopy and vaginal surgery, and cared for high-risk obstetric patients. While in Texas our family grew from two, to three, with the addition of an almost 120 pound Italian mastiff, Niko, and more recently to four, with the birth of our beautiful daughter Lillian.
I am excited to return to Kansas and once again be near family and reconnect with friends in the Kansas City area. I love reading light hearted books that make me laugh out loud; Janet Evanovich is a riot. I love water skiing as well and can't wait to introduce Lillian to the lake and boating. Having been spoiled by 60 to 70 degree winter days in Texas, I'm sure I will be easily recognized in the winter on a "cold" 40 degree day bundled up in a down coat.
It is important to me that my patients participate in decision-making processes and feel comfortable enough with me to ask any questions. I look forward to forming long-lasting relationships with my patients.

About Kelly:
I am excited to be a part of the team at the Women's Healthcare Group. I joined the group in September 2012 after spending 3 years practicing in suburban Denver, CO. Kansas however has always been my home. I was born and raised in Shawnee. After graduating from Notre Dame de Sion high school I pursued my undergraduate degree in chemistry from Saint Louis University. I was fortunate enough to come back home to Kansas City to attend the University of Kansas Medical School. My residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology was completed at UMKC where I served as the Administrative Chief Resident. After 3 years in Colorado and 2 children we decided to move back home to be near family.
My career has allowed me to develop a comprehensive practice that includes a passion for adolescent care, general obstetrics, high risk pregnancies, and infertility treatments for pregnancy. I also do in office procedures such as ablations for heavy bleeding and Essure, a form of permanent sterilization. I welcome all new patients. I want to partner with patients and help them play an active role in their care and decisions during pregnancy and with gynecologic care.
When not at work you can find me at home spending time with my husband, a local High School teacher, and my two young kids. We are lucky to have a large extended family in the area and enjoy spending time with them. I am a "die-hard" KU basketball fan. My husband and I love to travel with our family and make it a point to return to the mountains of Colorado every chance we get to reconnect with the beautiful outdoors and fresh mountain air.

About Valery:
I completed my undergraduate degree in nursing at Truman State University and then went on to graduate from Vanderbilt University in 2004 with my master's as a certified nurse-midwife. I completed clinical training during my master's program at Vanderbilt University Family Practice in Fort Campbell, KY, and Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, HI. My various educational and work experiences have given me a wide variety of birthing knowledge.
I decided to become a nurse-midwife so that I could not only help women bring their children into the world but also because I enjoy learning about and teaching women about various health issues. Being a certified nurse-midwife provides me a unique opportunity to teach women about the normal and expected changes and experiences during pregnancy.
I was born in Kansas City but spent most of my life in St. Louis. I am enthusiastic about living in the Kansas City area once again. As I establish a practice with The Women's Healthcare Group, I hope to focus on the well-being and wellness of women throughout their lifespan. My role as a nurse-midwife is dedicated to helping moms develop healthy pregnancies, as well as to listen, advise, and provide education while supporting them and their families.
In my free time, I enjoy attending rock concerts with my musician husband, spending time with our friends and family, and when the mood strikes me, I also enjoy creating my own jewelry. My husband and I have a cat named Pumpkin and we recently added a new puppy to our family. He is a Cavapoo named Baxter who looks like a tiny Ewok from Star Wars. Most recently, in 2012, we added beautiful baby girl, Violet, to our family. She is the center of our world now and keeps us laughing and smiling daily.

Birthplace: Olathe, KS
About Sarah:
I am a native of Olathe, Kansas, but completed my bachelor's degree nursing program at the University of Iowa. I returned to the Kansas City area in 2000 and worked as a labor and delivery nurse for 10 years. I completed the master's of nurse-midwifery program at the University of Kansas in 2010. As I completed my education, I taught labor-and-delivery nursing as a clinical instructor. As a teacher and a student, I was lucky to get to know the providers and staff at The Women's Healthcare Group, and now I'm right where I dreamed to be.
I am a nurse-midwife because I believe in the power of women and in the magic of childbirth. I am here to support, educate and listen as we work together to make your pregnancy, birth and health care experiences exactly what you desire. I can't wait to meet you!
I live in Olathe with my husband, Adam, and three wonderful children, Annabelle, Amelia and Zachary. My family keeps me busy with their activities, which I enjoy immensely. As my children get older we hope to travel more. We love the mountains and the beach. When I'm not working or mothering, I love to read, cook, watch movies and eat sushi with my girlfriends.

Birthplace: Kansas
About Kristi:
I grew up in the "wild wild west" of Dodge City, Kansas. I received my undergraduate degree at the University of Kansas in 1997 and my Physician Assistant degree at Wichita State University in 2000. I have since worked in NM, CO, OK, and now am returning to my home state of Kansas where I plan to stay for the remainder of my career.
I love being a PA because of the opportunity to provide a broad range of medical services such as conducting exams, diagnosing and treating illnesses, ordering and interpreting tests, counseling patients on health issues, performing pre-natal care, prescribing medications, performing in office procedures and first assisting in obstetric and gynecologic surgeries. The thing I enjoy most about being a PA is the opportunity I have to help others achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I have a wonderful husband (my high school sweet heart), and we have an extremely fun and energetic daughter, Kiernee, born September 2008. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, scrapbooking, outdoor activities, tennis, bible studies, being a fitness instructor, and running my home business of making and selling jewelry.

About Michaela:
My journey to midwifery began in 2000 when I accepted a position at a local urban core hospital in labor and delivery as an RN. I spent 9 years there learning the medical and nursing side of birth. I found that women not only needed strong professionals at their side during birth but also throughout the pregnancy as well as before and after. I was drawn to the need for education and support. This lead me to seek a career as a midwife. I have been practicing in Kansas City, MO as a CNM since 2009. I especially enjoy spending time with patients providing education and a majority of my early practice focused on adolescent care and first time parents. I am so pleased to be joining The Women's Healthcare Group and this wonderful group of midwives and physicians.
Outside my professional aspirations, I have four beautiful children and a very supportive husband. We enjoy the outdoors as much as possible and have recently created a hobby out of camping. My school age kids are very involved in extracurricular activities and I love watching them participate in sporting events. They keep us very busy!
Office Hours: OP - M,T,F. Lawrence - TH.
Next to my own role as a wife and mother, walking alongside women during their journeys of pregnancy and childbirth is the deepest joy of my life. My own mother had four natural births and I grew up around the empowering assumption that women are powerful, strong, and capable of bringing life into the world no matter what their birth story looks like. After earning a BA in biblical studies and psychology at Taylor University, that early belief in birth came full story as I returned to school to pursue midwifery. During the years of 2007-2012, I earned my BSN from Research College of Nursing, my MSN from Frontier Nursing University, and also worked as a labor/delivery and postpartum nurse.
My first three years as a midwife were spent practicing at New Birth Company, a freestanding birth center in Overland Park, KS. Learning out-of-hospital birth helped to lay a foundation as I established what it means for me to best help support the laboring mother's needs. Joining Women's Health Care Group in August 2015 was a wonderful career transition. I am thrilled to have also broadened what I can offer my clients in the realm of gynecologic care since joining WHCG.
On the home front, I am blessed with a supportive husband, who always keeps me laughing. Together, we have a young daughter and son. We all stay busy with the kid's activities, house projects on the fixer-upper we live in, and spending time with family - we are lucky to have mostly all of our family in the KC area! Personally, I love to read, bake, be outdoors, play the violin, listen to music, be active at our church, organize things (Type A people, unite!), and watch movies.

I am really trying to understand the concepts of game update and draw. And frames per second.
A frame is like a picture yeah? So if I flip through many frames I can get something like an animation. I think the recommended is 60fps?
Right now, all I have is
while(!keypressed) { input draw clearsprite }
So anytime the loop is run input is required, then the changes - if any - are applied to the game objects, maybe they changed position screen. The backbuffer is cleared to reflect later change of positions or whatever.
But the thing is..what is the number of frames in this case? I haven't set any number..so I assume the number of frames is how fast the while loop can run depending on the computer?
If I was to introduce the concept of frames per second how would I do it? I can't find tutorials on this. I am using C++ thanks.
NB: Can you please make explanations simple. Think of it like explaining to a 2 year old .

"The stock market may have felt like a roller coaster for some, but over the long-term, it has been an engine of growth and this has certainly been true in the last four years as we've emerged from recession. There is a paradigm shift where you no longer just switch to fixed income ten years before retirement.

Sydnee pre qualified for the 40 inch plus club way before she even got down to her underwear. It was merely a formality because you would have to be a blind retard with his head up his ass to not notice she was way bigger than 40. She was so hot she even got Candy excited. Candy worked at the furniture store where we filmed the shoot and Sydnee knew right away she was a freak so before any of us knew it Candy joined in and also measured up with ass to spare. They both got reamed by the Hungarian ass vampire swinging a 10 inch cock. They loved every minute of it and Im pretty sure Candy found her true calling. From now on she will be fucking on mattresses for a living not selling them to lame ass squares with nothing better to do than to go bargain hunting for a bed.

'Space Jam 2′ Plot Leaked–With Photos!
It was announced yesterday that Space Jam 2 is actually happening, as news broke that Justin Lin signed on to co-write and direct the sequel to 1996's box office hit starring Michael Jordan. LeBron James, long-rumored to be involved in the project, is reportedly set to star.
There Is No Way 'Rent' Could Exist Today
If you were a theater kid growing up, you probably remember how your life changed after learning about a musical called Rent. You then wanted nothing more than to move to New York City, disown your parents for no real reason and live the life of a poor, starving artist in the East Village.
Cinco de Mayo Improv Rules
There is no other holiday quite like Cinco de Mayo– celebrated pretty much exclusively in the United States as an opportunity to educate students on Mexican culture, celebrate history and get wasted on tequila shots while wearing comically large sombreros. What you may not have known is that the training you've received in your improv classes (whether or not you're a Latino improviser) can help you navigate this holiday.
So, what's The Second City?
The Second City has been bringing the funny for over 50 years, but here's the short version.
We began as a small comedy theater, and have grown to become today's leading brand in improv-based sketch comedy. With a variety of theaters, training centers and full-time, touring ensembles, you can find us all over the world.
We've also taken improv off the stage, expanding our business to include collaborations with corporate clients, and television and film productions.
And we have more than a handful of successful Second City alum that we aren't too modest to mention, like Tina Fey, Chris Farley, Bill Murray, and Keegan-Michael Key.

Bike Rides
I don't think the value music adds to a bike ride can be overstated.
For this reason headphones or ear-buds have long been a staple for each ride, and if forgotten, it's worth turning back because it's likely I won't have gotten too far without noticing something's amiss. But earphones can be dangerous too, especially in traffic where you need your hearing.
External, portable speakers are safer than headphones because they interfere much less with your hearing. My neighbor Hank and I had our first experience using such a speaker on a bike ride over a decade ago when another friend brought a windup, AM/FM radio along on a summer evening ride, one of a thousand such we've taken since.
The only signal we could pick up clearly and also tolerate was an oldies station. To neutralize the monotony we revised the lyrics to familiar songs using our own silly, localized lines.
"I found my thrill…. ooonnn Skin-ner's Hill…"
Eventually we graduated to a better system that could accommodate CD's, and while still flawed with skips and other limitations, this was a big step up.
That system gave way to MP3s, which seemed to be everything we needed at the time, offering greater selection, options and stability on the fly.
Next was satellite radio, another gargantuous leap toward bicycling/music nirvana. Now we didn't have to pause to select music, pouring over and over through our staled playlists throughout the ride. Deep music tracks from all genres were suddenly available at the click of a finger, with virtually no interruption or maintenance.
That takes us up to last summer, when another giant leap was realized in cordless, Bluetooth speakers, offering remote operation of all sound control from your pocket via smart phone. The brand Hank and I found (Jam) was affordable and effective. For the first time we had more sound than we could even use. Until this year we never found a speaker that was capable of rocking louder than necessary, for those special occasions. Most brands were too weak, and the exceptions were usually adequate at best.
Then, we found STEREO, Blue Tooth speakers in October. It took us a while to figure out how to even use them. Finally on Halloween night, just after the porch lights went out and the trick-or-treaters moved in, Hank and I saddled up for the inaugural ride with the new stereo system. Each of us had a powerful speaker housed in the water bottle rack of our respective mountain bikes that were paired remotely to a phone. Just before launch I strapped a battery lit jack-o-lantern facing backwards on my bike and we switched our front bicycle lights to strobe mode, to further enhance the spirit.
A Metallica song happened to be cuing up in the Sirrus/XM studios just in time for the ride. Normally I'm not the least bit fond of heavy metal music, but "Enter Sandman" had a rare appeal on this damp, dark Halloween night.
"Turn it up!" Hank exclaimed as we rolled through the neighborhood.
What happened next was a bicycling/musical concerto like no other we've really ever had. The music was so sharp the stereo effect was mind warping, as we rolled blissfully down the block it felt like we were riding inside a pair of headphones.
James Hetfield's raspy, made for the occasion voice echoed off the rooftops up and down the avenue, as I increased the volume.
"Louder!" yelled Hank, smiling… heck, laughing, as I responded with everything the Blue Tooth's had, just this once.
The rebel rocker declared with gravely vocal conviction, and we were officially a nuisance, and I enjoyed Halloween again for the first time in years.

Homeland Security: falling apart before its even built. The bastard child of Bush's 'small government' ideology and Congress's desperate attempt to secure the nation is unsurprisingly falling apart for lack of support both in funds and from the executive branch. Isn't something worth doing and this important, worth doing well?
"Learn (America) that we can topple you along with the other big enemies"
"Learn (America) that we can topple you along with the other big enemies" Could the US be so easy to topple? We've been told that we're not fighting a traditional war anymore (ignoring possible actions on Iraq), but it seems like a relatively small catalyst like 9.11 could forever damage the principles of due process and judicial review. Ironically, the secret and undemocratic FISC secret court may provide hope with their criticisms of the Justice Dept's blatant abuse of power, but sadly AP lists what we've lost already. If there is a formula for toppling the US in this 'new way of war,' then it sounds like we're doing it ourselves by slowly embracing the oppression of the last failed superpower. Something to think about amongst the rah-rah patriotic cheerleading that will mark the anniversery of 9.11.

Monolithic system integration of optical components, photodetectors, and analog transimpedance CMOS amplifiers is presented. An advanced SWAMI LOCOS technique, based on a submicron CMOS process is applied. Different optical devices including waveguides, beam splitters, interferometers and mirrors have been integrated using this technique. The optical system consists of a SiON layer deposited on 2-μm oxide. The waveguides are made of structured SiO2 layers on top of the SiON layer. Leaky wave or butt coupled photodiodes and phototransistors are used as light detectors. The photocurrents are amplified by low-noise CMOS transimpedance amplifiers with high sensitivity. They were designed for a large dynamic range of photocurrents together with short recovery times and low noise. Their reliability and yield were optimized with new CAD tools

US: Johnson Controls and Saft finish battery joint venture
By Simon Warburton | 5 September 2011
Johnson Controls and Saft have reached an agreement to end their joint venture, Johnson Controls-Saft, formed in 2006 to develop and manufacture Li-ion vehicle batteries.
Under the terms of the agreement, Johnson Controls will acquire Saft's share of the company for US$145m in cash, with the deal including an up-front royalty payment by Johnson Controls to Saft in return for an expanded licence to Johnson Controls to use certain Saft Li-ion technology in all markets.
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory clearances, could close as early as this 30 September.
"We appreciate the relationship we have had with Saft and are pleased we have been able to resolve this matter in a mutually beneficial way," said Johnson Controls
power solutions president Alex Molinaroli.
The parties' agreement to end their relationship will also terminate all legal proceedings between the companies.
"I am very pleased to have reached a rapid positive resolution to this dispute which is in the interests of our customers, staff and shareholders," said Saft management board chairman John Searle.
"It also eliminates the cash and P&L burden of the joint venture on Saft. Saft management is now fully concentrated on pursuing opportunities for our Li-ion technologies in all the markets we choose."

Georgetown Penang Online
Georgetown is the capital of Penang state and is also one of Malaysia's largest cities with about 1 million inhabitants. The origins of the town can be traced back to late 1780s when Captain Francis Light, the then famous British trader was granted permission from Kedah Sultanate for the construction and development of the strong foundation, Fort Cornwallis.
The original blueprint of this commercial town suggested that it was located between Light Street, Beach Street, Malabar Street and also Pitt Street. These streets are more commonly known as Masjid Kapitan Keling Street and Chulia Street currently. Georgetown Municipal Council was incorporated in 1857 making it the first local authority outside of Singapore and also the first in Malaya back then.
In conjunction with Malaya's independence in 1957, the town was granted city status due to its continuous growth within the township. Perhaps, it is best known as a sightseeing destination and food paradise with its various historical buildings and numerous restaurants and hawker stalls serving mouth watery local delights.
Georgetown was voted as one of the best cities in Asia by the reputable magazine Asiaweek ranking 6th in 1998 and subsequently, 9th in 2000. Recently, a study-cum-research conducted by Conditions Abroad Limited (ECA Limited) shows that Georgetown ranked 10th as one of the preferred locations in Asia among the Europeans to work and live in. ECA Limited listed the city in the list after judging on several elements including the infrastructure, health services offered, housing, security, politics and also the surroundings.
UNESCO World Heritage Site
Last year, Georgetown was also named as UNESCO World Heritage Site for its numerous unique architectural and cultural townscape which is only available here in South East Asia. The city is considered UNESCO World Heritage Site due to the well-preserved colonial era shop-houses. The existence of these architectural gems was mainly due to the rent controls. However, following the repeal of the act in 2000, quite a number of pre-war buildings were torn down allowing the construction of new high rise buildings. Most of the residents in the city are Chinese.
. Things to do in Georgetown
The most popular thing to do when in Georgetown apart from visiting the historical and cultural sites is to eat. This is because Penang prides itself as one of the states in Malaysia with the best food and Georgetown, being nucleus of the state makes it more accessible. So if you are in Georgetown, you must try out their specialties around here. The best place to go is Gurney Drive which is where you will find most, if not all the food from Penang congregating.
In most cases, people who come here for food would surely try out the Penang Fried Kuey Teow, the Penang Curry Mee, the Penang Laksa, the Penang Prawn Mee and of course the Penang Rojak as well. While Gurney Drive has most of all the mentioned dishes, it might not be the best as they mainly cater to tourists. Lorong Swatow in Jalan Burma is New World Park foodcourt is where you can find a wide range of food as well. Otherwise, New Lane is where you can go at night where the food is known to be very good as well. Otherwise, just inform the taxi driver or Trishaw peddler and they will bring you to the best food around.
. Attractions in Georgetown
As a main tourist attraction in Malaysia, Georgetown has almost a complete list of places which you can go to ranging from seaside resorts, natural parks, religious houses of worship, cultural attractions and many others. If you are into history and like its architecture and stories then Fort Cornwallis would be a good place to start. You can also go to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, the Municipal Council of Pulau Pinang Hall, the Leong San Tong Khoo Kongsi and others.
On certain religious dates, the religious houses of worships will be filled with devotees and this is where tourists would like to experience how people practice their faiths. You can go to the Dharmmikarama Burmese Buddhist Temple, the Kapitan Keling Mosque, the St. George's Church or to Kek Lok Si which is a temple on a hill which one can view from the city itself. The steps leading up to the Kek Lok Si are filled with stalls and shops where you can buy souvenirs, goods and many other stuff for remembrance. A short drive away from Georgetown will bring you to Batu Feringghi which is where the seaside is. Here you will be able to enjoy the gushing waves and sea breeze while enjoying the nightlife of the city. There is also a night market here which sells imitation goods to souvenirs to clothing and such.

After a rough few weeks, Labour can be reasonably pleased with the manner in which it announced its tax policy last week. We now know that, under a Labour government, the top rate of income tax will increase from 33 cents to 36c. This is a smaller increase than was threatened in the last election, which should help it to reposition as a moderate party.
OPINION: Not that I think that raising taxes is the way to go, mind you. While the well-off can certainly afford to pay more, raising taxes in a free economy is often self-defeating. This is because doing so discourages investment and productivity.
This dynamic is not always obvious to those who are salaried professionals in the public sector or who work in very large firms where the risks of investment are not keenly felt.
That being the case, a real-life illustration of the principle may assist.
About 60 years ago, the broadcasting of fights increased the earning potential of top boxers. However, it was also an era of very high marginal tax rates. Taking these two factors together, a defending champion might make a lot of money from one fight in a tax year; but a second fight would see him net only a small amount of additional income.
That additional income had to be earned through sweat and bruises involved in preparing for and participating in a heavyweight boxing fight. Furthermore, each fight carried with it the very real chance of losing the title. So why bother agreeing to more than one bout a year? Not surprisingly, few did - and championship matches became very much an annual event.
Things changed after president John F Kennedy's income tax cuts were implemented, however. The year after the cuts went into effect, there were two title fights. The next year, there were five. Top boxers were clearly more willing to put their titles and bodies on the line when they knew they would be able to keep more of the reward.
In other words, higher taxes had operated as a drag on boxers' productivity. When they were cut, activity increased. That was to the benefit of everybody in the sport and the industries that serviced it.
This translates into the rest of the private sector economy. Those risking their own capital by investing it do so in expectation of a reward. We can't force them to do this, however, and reducing the reward means people will be less likely to undertake the risk. We all suffer when that happens.
So I can't get behind Labour's instinct to hike taxes. However, I can at least agree that the party managed the politics of the situation well.
You can judge this by looking at the reaction of those urging Labour to the Left. At the generally pro-David Cunliffe The Daily Blog, a clearly perturbed Chris Trotter wrote that the proposed tax hike was "risible" and lacking in "excitement and inspiration". He even went so far as to say that the "refusal to give effect to the confiscatory fiscal impulses of Labour's membership is emblematic of everything that has gone awry with Cunliffe's leadership".
I do not agree. I think it was a clever move by Labour.
Maybe Labour could get away with the higher taxes its base is braying for (Trotter's position). Maybe any increase in income tax is a bad move (mine). What is more important, however, is the narrative Labour lays down by choosing a middle path.
Last week, expectations were that Labour would pledge to reinstate the "envy" rate of 39c. After all, that is what it had promised in 2011 under the more moderate Phil Goff. Moreover, David Cunliffe had been positively gung-ho about punishing higher earners with taxes during the Labour leadership contest.
So when the proposed rate of 36c was announced, Labour was seen to have softened its stance. It appeared to be confirming it is a party committed to gradual change. This allows party leadership to counter the narrative that it is dominated and cowed by its activist base.
The fact that this causes anxiety in true believers like Trotter only serves that purpose further.
At the same time, Labour's opponents are forced to acknowledge that it has moderated its stance (however grudgingly). Those targeted by the tax will inescapably feel at least some relief because they probably expected worse. Both lose some of the high ground given that Labour has reduced its demands by 50 per cent.
But for all that spin, the Labour Party has retained its demand for significant tax increases. Now there is just the small matter of turning the election campaign around. This won't do that, but it can't hurt morale within Labour to see that some political competence survives in the party.

A quote attributed to Stalin says: "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." It is clear that voting systems represent a critical component of a democracy.
Although the consequences of a malfunctioning electronic voting system are not as readily apparent as those for air traffic control or nuclear power plant control systems, they are just as important, because the well-being of a society depends on them. While most critical systems are continuously scrutinized and evaluated for safety and correctness, electronic voting systems are not subject to the same level of scrutiny.
A number of recent studies have shown that most (if not all) of the electronic voting systems being used today are fatally flawed, and that their quality does not match the importance of the task that they are supposed to carry out.
In the Summer of 2007, the Security Group of UCSB participated in the Top-To-Bottom Review (TTBR) of the electronic voting systems used in California.
The Report
Our team focused on the security analysis of the Sequoia voting system. Our public report can be found here (a local copy can be found here). We found a number of major flaws that can be exploited to compromise the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the voting process. In particular, we developed a virus-like software that can spread across the voting system, modifying the firmware of the voting machines. The modified firmware is able to steal votes even in the presence of a Voter-Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT).
The Paper
We wrote a paper that describes our methodology and our findings: Are Your Votes Really Counted? Testing the Security of Real-world Electronic Voting Systems, D. Balzarotti, G. Banks, M. Cova, V. Felmetsger, R. Kemmerer, W. Robertson, F. Valeur, and G. Vigna, in Proceedings of the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis, Seattle, WA July 2008.[PDF]
The Movie
We also prepared a movie that shows how the virus-like attack would be carried out, and exemplifies the different scenarios that our malicious firmware would exploit. The video shows how one can use a simple USB key to infect the laptop used to prepare the cards that initialize the various voting devices. As a result, the cards are loaded with a malicious software component.
When a card is inserted in a voting terminal, the malicious software exploits a vulnerability in the terminal loading procedure and installs a modified firmware, effectively "brainwashing" the terminal. Later, when the terminal is used by the voters to cast their votes, the firmware uses a number of different techniques to modify the contents of the ballots being cast.
The movie also shows that the physical security measures being used to limit access to essential parts of the voting systems are ineffective.Part 1
In the end, voters will decide whether to continue voting on systems that over 50 scientific studies, comments and testimony have warned are not securable. That decision will be made by whether they participate in a system that leaves no rational basis for confidence. Or, elections will be decided by computer hackers.
Much thanks to John Gideon of VotersUnite.org for his Daily Voting News feed.
1 Election Data Services President Kimball Brace said touch screens would be used statewide this fall in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Nevada, Utah, Louisiana, Georgia and South Carolina, and in significant parts of or pockets of a dozen other states, according to an August 15, 2008 McClatchy article.

OKC Thunder: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook combine for 78 points in win over Timberwolves
— The Timberwolves had lost eight straight, nine of their last 10 and mathematically had been eliminated from playoff contention in the Western Conference.
— Minnesota players had missed 158 games due to injury so far this season, forcing the Timberwolves to use 14 different starting lineups. (Conversely, OKC players had missed 99 games due to injury, forcing just four different starting lineups.)
— The biggest bummer of all: Minnesota came in having lost 24 consecutive games in April. Its last victory came at Golden State on April 8 … 2009. The Wolves' most recent April victory at the Target Center was an overtime win over Milwaukee on April 16 … 2008.
All this negativity could have been transformed into an unforgettably positive experience if Minnesota had been able to beat the team with the best record in the Western Conference.
Instead, OKC (44-16) barely managed to survive, which almost always seems to be the way it performs against the pesky Timberwolves (25-36).
The Thunder hung on for a 110-105 victory before a sellout crowd of 19,552 at the Target Center, which kept alive yet another negative for Minnesota.
The Timberwolves have now lost 12 straight against OKC.
It took heroic performances from All-Stars Kevin Durant (43 points; seven rebounds) and Russell Westbrook (35 points; eight assists; two steals) for the Thunder to avoid what would have been an unacceptable loss to a team without three of its top five scorers because of injuries.
The last time OKC played the Timberwolves, power forward Kevin Love had a franchise-record 51 points in a 149-140 double-overtime loss at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Love (26.0 points per game; 13.3 rebounds per game) was out with a concussion Saturday.
Also out were starting guards Luke Ridnour (12.1 ppg; 4.8 assists) and Ricky Rubio (10.6 ppg; 8.2 assists).
All that missing ammo, yet Minnesota nearly gunned down the best in the West.
"You've got to give our guys a lot of credit," Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said afterward.
Hey, no argument from the Thunder locker room.
"They played well," OKC coach Scott Brooks said. "They shot the ball well (50 percent). They moved the ball and they really did a good job offensively. We didn't play well, but you give them credit. … They didn't back down with all their injuries." The biggest thorn in the Thunder's side on Saturday was the smallest guy on the court in point guard J.J. Barea, who is generously listed at 6-foot and is no stranger to OKC.
As a reserve with the world champion Dallas Mavericks last season, Barea averaged 11.4 points, shot 47.8 percent from the floor, 46.2 percent from 3-point range and 87.5 percent from the free-throw line against OKC in the Western Conference Finals — all in just 16.8 minutes per game.
In that March 23 double-overtime thriller at OKC, Barea had 25 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds, and did so with an injured hamstring.
Saturday's game started much the same as Barea scored 14 points in the first 13 minutes and had 17 points by halftime while shooting 7 for 10 from the field.
At halftime, Brooks pleaded for more defense.
"It actually did get better in the second half on Barea — on Barea only," Brooks said.
Reserves Michael Beasley (26 points; six rebounds) and Anthony Tolliver (22 points; 11 rebounds) kept the Wolves in the game, as did starting center Nikola Pekovic (14 points; 13 rebounds).
Barea hit a late 3-pointer to finish with 24 points and was 9 for 16 from the field.
OKC's two-headed monster of Durant and Westbrook was simply too overwhelming.
"We haven't had much success on those two guys," Adelman said. "We were going to come out and double him (Durant), and he drew fouls before we could even double him. If you make a mistake, he's going to make you pay."
After having to sit the final 8:24 of the third quarter because of foul trouble, Durant re-entered the game at the start of the fourth quarter and scored 20 points in the period, shooting 7 for 10 from the field and having a response seemingly every time the Timberwolves threatened to tie or take the lead.
"I was trying to play a little physical and I played a little bit too physical," Durant said. "My penalty was sitting on the bench, but I came out and tried to be aggressive at the start of the fourth (period) and tried to help my team win."
Durant finished 15 for 23 from the field and 4 for 6 from 3-point range.
"There's not much you can say," Pekovic said of Durant. "You have a hard time stopping him. We were really trying, but at some point you just can't."
With Durant on the bench, Westbrook picked up the slack and scored 16 in the third quarter, shooting 6 for 9 from the field and 2 for 2 from 3-point range. Westbrook finished 12 for 25 from the field and 9 for 10 from the free-throw line, which included two clutch conversions with 13.8 seconds left to give OKC a 114-110 lead.
"We tried everybody," Barea said of trying to defend Westbrook, who during one span was being guarded by the 6-foot-11 Randolph. "He's tough, especially when he's making the midrange and the 3-point shot."
The Thunder is off Sunday and plays the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday at 9:30 p.m. at Staples Center.

OREGON COUNTY -- It was announced last week that the 2004 Interior Appropriations Act has passed in the United States House of Representative. It contains a $500,000 provision requested by 8th District Congresswoman Jo Ann Emerson. Emerson has said the funds will be used to fight meth in the Mark Twain National Forest.
In the 8th Congressional District there are 1.5 million acres of the Mark Twain National Forest. Of all the counties in the district Oregon County boasts the most forest service land with 105,000 acres. Emerson said, "Unfortunately, with that honor (large amount of forest service land) comes the dubious distinction of having a forest that has been besieged like no other public land. In 2000 there were a record number of meth labs seized on public land, and nearly 70 percent of those labs were in the Mark Twain National Forest."
The congresswoman said that the Mark Twain National Forest has had more meth labs seized on it than any other national forest in the United States. "These funds will be used to crack down and rid our forest of this dangerous and deadly drug and the criminals who are cooking this poison," she said.
Several forests, including the Mark Twain, have become dumping sites for illegal drug makers who favor heavily wooded forest areas to make drugs because the terrain makes it tough for law enforcement to locate labs.
Officials with the forest service have said they will use the funds to hire additional officers to help eradicate meth from the Mark Twain and to fund cooperate efforts with local law enforcement.

text: Magazine article Online Finding Case Studies Online By Ojala, Marydee Read preview Article excerpt OK, fans, it's quiz show time. What do the following requests for information have in common? Focus please, if you will, on the type of information required rather than the technicalities of the search. * My company is beginning a Total Quality Management (TQM) project. We're probably not going to apply for the Baldrige Quality Award, but we do want to position ourselves as a "Baldrige-type" quality company. To do so, we need to adhere relatively strictly to the requirements of the Baldrige Award. I have been asked to gather information so that we can build a database to benchmark several of our business functions, starting with marketing. * I am writing my thesis on the critical success factors of small and medium-sized businesses. I want to investigate whether the size of the business makes a difference in how people view these success factors. I plan to develop a questionnaire, but first I need background information from the literature. I want to build a database of examples of perceived critical success factors ranked by the size of the company. * A renowned business book author came into our library yesterday. We buy all his books, and I was awe-struck that he thought we could help him. The new book he's researching will be on the role of strategic planning in large corporations, studied over time. He wants to build a database of companies that have had articles published about their strategic planning processes, then track the performance of these companies from the time the article was published to the present. * The president of my company is giving a speech to the local chamber of commerce. The topic is "Environmental Trends and How They Affect Our Industry." He wants some case studies so that he can cite specific (positive) instances. Unfortunately, he's not sure of exactly which points he wants illustrated with a case study. I think the best approach is to set up a database with the case studies I pull from online databases. He can pick and choose at will after I dump it to his computer. * Our MIS department wants to track the literature on client-server architecture to put into a database so that they can study technology trends over time. They think this will help them make better purchasing decisions both in terms of technological developments and of supplier reliability. They particularly want articles featuring specific companies and their experiences in installing client-servers. Yes, contestant number one, what is your answer? That they all involve general management-type concerns? That is true, but not specific enough. In fact, the client-server architecture question is likely to be answered from technical literature rather than general management literature. General management is not the most important common element of these requests. Contestant number two? You note that all five requests involve a database waiting in the wings to be built? Correct, but that is not the common informational element in these requests. For the database-building component of these requests, I refer you to Susanne Bjorner's OUTPUT OPTIONS column on page 38. And, finally, contestant number three? Your answer is that when all five requests are boiled down to the essentials, they are asking for case studies. That's it, fans, that's the correct answer. Case histories, benchmarking (a.k.a. "best of breed" or "best practices"), examples, or case studies--you could call this a sub-genre of management searching. After all, any Harvard Business School student gained that M.B.A. through the case study method. Other universities use the case study method as well. Corporate training programs frequently use Harvard's published case studies. In fact, many business school texts are nothing but case studies. Tom Peters seems to simply stitch case studies together to prove the points he makes in his best-selling books. According to the Library of Congress MARC file, there are almost 6,000 titles with either "case study" or "case studies" in the title, and 22,617 with "case studies" as a subject heading. … Related books and articles Books Journals Magazines Newspapers Encyclopedia Journalism for the 21st Century: Online Information, Electronic Databases, and the News By Tom Koch Praeger, 1991 Read preview Overview The Message Is the Medium: Online All the Time for Everyone By Tom Koch Praeger Publishers, 1996 Read preview Overview Health Information Systems: Design Issues and Analytic Applications By Elizabeth A.

Research Institution:
AbstractNitrates and associated contaminants in groundwater have increased greatly during the last fifty years as they have in the rest of the world. Nitrate poses a quantitative threat to United States groundwater that is greater than that of other contaminants with greater public attention. Nitrate has a high potential to migrate to groundwater and remain there because it is a stable, non-volatile, highly soluble compound that does not bind to soil. Between 1992 and 1999, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected water samples from 1,497 public and domestic wells from across the U.S. Nitrate, often combined with pesticides such as atrazine, metolachlor, and deethylatrazine, was present in 28 % of the samples and exceeded health criteria in about 13 % of the samples. The primary objective of the project is to demonstrate on a bench-scale that nitrate can be treated to below regulatory standards at an economical cost in actual field samples. Field samples are expected to contain considerable concentrations of salts (TDS) and naturally occurring and anthropogenic organic chemicals. Information from the bench-scale testing will be directed to allow valid engineering scale up evaluations. This will define whether the process can be economically and qualitatively competitive treatment process for nitrate-containing drinking waters.

Ok Lex has finally demoted me to janitor, Brainiac was completely obliterated by Superman…so I guess it's time to contact Cadmus and let them deal with Superman and Lex Luthor…I'm so out of this deal..Waller says she has the ultimate Doom weapon at her disposal..she call it project Doomsday…Finally Lex and Superman will pay…
DOOMSDAY was a project I started back in November of last year. I bought several collect and connect pieces from Validus and Arkillo to make the perfect base for him. I had to sculpt the middle fingers (Take that Lex!) for him since Validus only had 3 they are internally reinforced with a steel wire since my early tests shown that sculpt alone wasn't durable enough.
The protruding bones are sculpted on top of wires that were drilled onto the figures Shoulders, elbows, knees, etc so they were more durable and sturdy. Now the head is a HEAVILY modified Kalibak face. I only took a print of Kalibak's noggin and then sculpted the head, mouth teeth and chin, also adding the small bones.
The paint job is simple since the animated style doesn't not allow me for some realism (I would have loved to make an animated style doomsday with realistic paint and sculpt!!...Maybe…in the future…)but I inserted some 3 dimensional paint job on his hair and bones. Also, cartoon style muscle definition.
Now that I think about it..IT WAS A LOT OF WORK!!! God I really don't want to part with it…he looks so...purty!!!
This is the end of my partnership with Lex and my beef with Superman…now onto other characters from the JLU universe!!
"SUPERMAN! I'm here to kill you. Is this a bad time?…."

This is something that is always on my mind, and the two threads going about suicide made me think of it again.
Let's say you are a parent with a chronic mental illness. At what age do you begin to tell your children bits and pieces about what is wrong with you? What do you tell them? How do you make it age-appropriate, so as not to scare them or confuse them?
How do you help them so they will one day hopefully feel open to talking about their feelings if anything bothers them, and especially if they are feeling depressed or anxious or possibly needing help? How do you make them realize that it is okay to ask for help, and that it's okay to talk to you (the parent), a counselor at school, or name off some other trusted sources they could talk to if they don't want to talk to Mom & Dad.
How do you help them realize that mental illnesses are true, physical conditions, and not just "all in your head?"
And.....how do you accomplish all this, without making the child believe they have a mental illness, when they really don't?
