Peaceful Autumn Symphony by FlorentCourtyWatch
©2011-2016 FlorentCourty
Spent some very calming moments in this old swamp. It was good to take a deep breathe of the fresh morning air. The birch trees had their beautiful autumn foliage, there was huge sunrays through the early morning mist, slowly moving through the swamp, and the thing which looks like smoke in the middle is the morning dew/frost which is melting in the sun.
All that resulted in a very peaceful moment, I definitely like these autumn mornings.

Thank you so much for sharing this photograph. What an excellent capture. The composition is superb and the lighting absolutely wonderful highlighting those autumal colours in a subtle and soft way but also highlighting that lovely foreground green of the fir tree. It does look like one of the most relaxing places a person could hope to be to ponder and simply forget ones troubles.

Absolutely love this product. When I want something a little sweet and chocolaty, this is what I go for...eat it straight out of the container with a teaspoon...yummmmmmmm!

Not as smooth and dark as it was 2 years ago
Posted by Reviewer1458513 on Oct 21, 2015
I believe they have changed the recipe. It used to be a lot smoother with heaps more dark chocolate flavour. Now very grainy and more of a light chocolate taste. Loved it spread in croisssants. I tried blending in extra cocoa powder, but it didn't really get there. 2 years ago 5 stars! Down to 2 stars now in these new batches.

Posted by gusseting on May 19, 2015
scoffed the whole thing. luckily, it's winter, so it was harder to get out of the jar (think solid coconut butter...), but really, really good. purchase with care. and moderation. or not. good thing this doesn't come in a large bucket to go face down in. the temptation is there.

I found with my dyslexic ADHD kid, she is doing wonderfully. She is now 9, but was diagnosed at 3. She had extreme ADHD and was actually getting to be a danger to herself. I feel blessed that I had a great medical team involved, and they speculate that soon, maybe next school year she can stop the meds. She attends a very progressive private school and thrives in the environment. At her school, there is a strict expectation for behavior and academics. One thing about ADHD, they have incredibly quick minds and are usually very intelligent, they need guidance and expectations, not excuses for behavior.
When they first start school, the first 6 months are challenging b/c they must establish a strict routine and adjust to doing homework the right way, not the quick way. It can definitely be done though.
If anyone has any questions, please message me, I would be glad to answer any questions I can.

A slow moving warm front moving north will become nearly stationary across northern North Carolina on Saturday as a cold front crawls our way from the west. Warm and moist air will flow into the area giving us more clouds and the threat for showers. In fact, the chance for showers will likely occur each day into the middle of next week. It will certainly be good news for the wildfire situation in Dare County where over 22,000 acres have burned by Thursday evening. The moisture will also be beneficial for many of the crops that have been recently planted. It is still too early to determine how much rain will fall over the 5 to 6 day period but most communities should see an inch or more before it ends. Longer-range models suggest that we may be heading into summer-like weather by the end of next week as the rain moves out.

Tank mates or not?
I want to know if these fish will get along? needle fish, Leaf fish, Black ghost knife, Golden dojo loach, angel fish, hatchet fish, graumis, and blue rams. Let me know if any of these wont get along.
Cloudy Tank
My tank gets cloudy 3 days after I do a water change and then stays cloudy. Like a whitish color what can i do?
Parameters are o nitrites 0 nitrates 0 hardness 0 chlorine 7.4 ph and 100 alkalinity
You asked much the same question in a thread started Dec 23, 2008, and the responses you got all said no.
Well I am just wondering bc my friend has all these fish together and they do perfectly fine and The petstore said they are all fine together too!
Aquarists have a responsibility to care for their fish, and I always research any fish I don't know and would never consider one that I suspected might be disruptive. Years ago I went through that, my fish got ick solely from the stress of having a shoal of rather small fish that simply hounded them continually. I had to get rid of the offenders, and things settled down again. No reason to treat our fish like that when we can avoid it.
i agree with byron, those fish aren't gonna be all that great together
I looked up every single one of these fish on more than one sight and I dont see any real problem as why they wouldnt be good together besides the hatchet fish they could be eatin but as far as it looks and as much as i read I think they would all be fine together. I have also called petco, petmarts, and a couple other stores were I live and they all said it should be fine. I realize the needle fish, leaf fish, and black ghost knife fish do need to feed on live foods like guppies, bloodworms, and brine shrimp.
IMHO I don't think this combo of fish should ever be housed together. I'd wouldn't even consider it, for the same reasons that Bryon outlines. I believe that eventually your friend is going to run into problems with this set up.

Training pokemon in Diamond
View Single Post

Ghost Trainer/Coordinator
Join Date: Sep 2012

I completed the Diamond version game a few years, and now for some reason I have almost every pokemon. Lots of them are low level since my goal at the time was to complete the poked and didn't bother training them. Now that I have all these pokemon, I've begun to train them so I can create different teams.
Would someone give me advice on how to train these pokemon semi-quickly, such as where the best place to train is for pokemon between levels 1-19? I'm also thinking about trading a few as well, but I have to go back and check to see which ones.
Thank you :D
Love the ghost pokemon! Or face their wrath...

Bug Squad
From Joomla! Documentation
Revision as of 12:02, 20 May 2010 by Dextercowley (Talk | contribs)
The Joomla! Bug Squad (JBS) is a team within the development work group. Their job is to identify and fix bugs in Joomla. This includes the following:
- Scan the Joomla! Bug Reporting Forum for reported issues and help community members with solving these issues.
- Maintaining the [Version 1.5 Bug Tracker] and [Version 1.6 Issue Tracker] .
- Fix reported bugs and resolve reported issues according to the Bug Tracking Process.
The Bug Squad is also supporting with testing and quality assurance when a new major or minor version is developed. Generally speaking the bug-squad is in the lead when a version switches from beta-stage to the stable-stage within the development cycle of Joomla!
The Bug Squad was created in December 2007. As of May 2010, JBS has been organised into the following teams:
- Tracker Team - monitors the forums and trackers
- Coding Team - creates patches for Confirmed Issues
- Testing Team - tests Pending issues
- Automated Testing Team - creates automated system and unit tests for tracker issues
- Migration / Upgrade Team - responsible for supporting migration and upgrading from the prior version to the current version.
These teams are not rigid, and JBS members can participate in whatever activities they wish. The purpose of the teams is to make it easier for JBS members to focus their efforts and learn the skills required to successfully contribute to the project.
Tracker Team
This team has the very important and difficult job of filtering all of the forum posts and bug reports and sorting out which ones are real bugs that are ready to be worked on. From the standpoint of the tracker, their job is to move issues from Open status to Confirmed status. Of course, many issues will also be put into other status codes, including Information Required, Needs Review, Duplicate, Not a Bug, and so on.
Before an issue is marked Confirmed, it needs to be reproduced and documented so that others can reproduce the problem.
Coding Team
The coding team works with Confirmed issues and creates patches to correct these issues. When a patch is completed, and when a test plan has been added that tells the testers how to test the patch, the issue is changed to Pending status.
Testing Team
This team tests Pending issues and, when tests are successful, documents this and moves the issue to Ready to Commit status. At this point, one of the JBS coordinators will commit the patch to the SVN.
Automated Testing Team
Automated testing is a key technology that we will incorporate into the workings of JBS. At the present, this is a somewhat specialized skill, so we will start by developing a separate team of people who are familiar with this and can help write automated tests and train other JBS members on automated testing. Our aim is to eventually make automated testing a routine part of fixing issues.
Migration / Upgrade Team
This team is responsible for coding and documenting the upgrade process for users migrating sites or extensions from one version to the next (for example, from version 1.5 to 1.6). They will be responsible for creating and fixing issues in this area of the code.

Rock Climbing Videos : Comments
Comments by dreday3000 (87)
You don't have to quit college to be a dirtbag, you just to make a few sacrifices and find the time. I went to college - a good one - and now i work in a law firm. Life is about choices. You have your whole life to be on the straight and arrow. I took two years between college and 'the real world'. Think about it. It was well worth it.
There are two cruxes, neither of which are hard, technical v6 climbing. The lower crux is probably the technical crux. A little tweaky, but not too bad. The upper crux is committing because its a long move to a smallish crimp with subtle footwork. And then you have to cross through to a decent, slightly slopy, pinch. Crossing through feels very exposed, but in truth its not THAT hard.
All in all I'd probably still give it a six. I worked it for two days. But then again, Jeff got 3rd go so....
Let me know if you try it. Be interested to hear what you think.
don't listen to the haters. Great vid. Seemed pretty clear to me that frechou wasn't soloing for the camera, but the love. And yeah, a couple of the angles weren't perfect, but the video wasn't just eye candy; it told a story/got its point across - which at the end of the day, is far more worthwhile. Hope to see more videos in this stlye...
You people don't know what you are talking about. That pillar was one of several in the area. We were putting gear behind those pillars. One day we show up a pillar had fallen all by its lonesome (you can see some of the debris in the background). After that, we reevaluated the rest of the pillars. This one had to go.
in re to baigot:
Look tough guy - cause you never been to the area - you don't know what you're talking about. The pillars are 50 feet above a sea chasm, when the pillar was jacked off, there wasn't anyone between that small strip of land and the sea chasm, so don't start projecting all that "what if" bullshit.
Its ironic you bring up the safety issue cause, as I said, jacking off the pillar was a safety issue. If one of us ripped off that pillar while climbing, it would have been gameover.
Its easy to fling mud when you're in freakin Argentina

Edmond Santa Fe's Gunnar Nixon excited to represent Team USA in Youth Olympic Games
EDMOND — There was no single reason why Edmond Santa Fe senior Gunnar Nixon started to participate in track and field.
He wasn't inspired by watching the Summer Olympics or anything like that. He was simply just looking to compete in another sport.
Little did he know it could lead to the opportunity that he has this month. Nixon will be representing Team USA in the high jump at the first Youth Olympic Games this month in Singapore.
"It's amazing. I'm really excited about it," Nixon said. "This has just been an incredible summer.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm going to get a chance to get to know kids from all over the world."
Nixon leaves Monday and will be in Singapore for three weeks. The actual competition dates for the Games are Aug. 14-26. His flight to New York is paid for by the U.S. Olympic Committee, while the International Olympic Committee is taking care of everything else.
Nixon's already spent time in Puerto Rico, Iowa and Kansas for meets this summer.
Nixon started competing in track and field in fifth grade, but it wasn't until eighth grade that things really started to click for him.
"In seventh grade, I won something like one race," Nixon said. "I spent the entire time after that working, just working nonstop."
Though Singapore is nowhere like he's ever been before, Nixon is well-traveled. Born in Weatherford, he's spent time in Ada, Blanchard and Tulsa before moving to Edmond after his freshman year.
It's in Edmond where he's found the coaches to take him to that next step. Head coach Carl Hawkins has helped Nixon and the rest of the Wolves immensely, but it's been LaMar Garrett who has catapulted Nixon to this spot.
Garrett, a Santa Fe and Kansas State graduate, has been the one helping Nixon learn everything there is to the long jump and high jump.
"I used to just run as fast as I could and then jumped," Nixon said. "He's really helped when it comes to technique and helping me understand why something is done."
Nixon made national news this year when he posted the second-highest decathlon score in high school history in April in California.
"He's such an inspiration," Santa Fe graduate Walter Henderson said. "He pushed me so much. You'd think you're working hard, but then you'd see Gunnar, and you'd know you could do more."
Henderson will attend Arkansas, and he credits Nixon for being a big reason that he is getting that opportunity.
Nixon isn't the lone Oklahoma being represented in the Youth Olympic Games. Edmond Memorial volleyball star Micha Hancock and Pawhuska's Sarah Tolson will also be participating. Tolson will be in the discus throw. Norman's Jessica Beed also qualified for weightlifting.

[W]ould the executive be independent of the judiciary, if he were subject to the commands of the latter, & to imprisonment for disobedience; if the several courts could bandy him from pillar to post, keep him constantly trudging from north to south & east to west, and withdraw him entirely from his constitutional duties?(1)
The image of a President "band[led] from pillar to post" by the courts has tremendous resonance for anyone concerned about the doctrine of separation of powers.(2) Thomas Jefferson's articulation of this concern in his letter to George Hay on June 20, 1807 reflects the inherent tension between the model of an accountable Chief Executive and the necessity of an independent Executive Branch.(3) It is a question that begs an answer with every scandal involving allegations of criminal acts by a President in office. During the Clinton crisis, the susceptibility of a sitting President to indictment and prosecution was only touched upon in the debates. The primary thrust of the constitutional debate focused on the meaning of "high crimes and misdemeanors," which was the subject of an unprecedented hearing of nineteen expert witnesses in the House of Representatives.(4) A prior hearing, however, was held in the Senate that specifically addressed the controversial question of the prosecution of a sitting American President.(5) This Article addresses the latter question raised by the Senate.(6)
As one of the academics testifying in both hearings,(7) I was struck by the common historical and theoretical issues in the debates over the impeachment and indictment of Presidents. The latter issue of indictment, however, was less immediate for the academic debate during the Clinton crisis, which largely turned on the scope of impeachable offenses. This left the Senate hearing as the only comprehensive discussion of this question despite the fact that it has been raised in prior administrations(8) and President Clinton continues to face the possibility of indictment.(9) The question of the indictment of an American President only heightens the concerns raised over the impeachment standards. Both the indictment and impeachment of a Chief Executive are seen as threats to a tripartite system designed for balanced authority between the branches. Academics who argued for a higher standard for impeachment often voiced equally strong objections to the concept of the prosecution of a sitting President.(10) This Article addresses the arguments advanced in the Senate hearing and in academic writings in opposition to the concept of the prosecution of a sitting President.(11) As stated in the Senate hearing, I believe that the indictment of a President is constitutionally permissible and, in some circumstances, essential to the preservation of core constitutional principles. The thrust of this Article, however, is to respond to the textual, historical, and functional arguments against such indictment authority. As will be shown, past textual and historical arguments in favor of Presidential immunity can be set aside upon closer scrutiny, thereby allowing for a more focused debate over the functionalist implications of Presidential prosecutions. The functionalist arguments against immunity have been made with obvious hypotheticals of murderous Presidents and compromised legislators.(12) It is the countervailing hypotheticals used by advocates of immunity, however, that have sustained much of this debate: the fear of hounded Presidents or abusive prosecutors and judges. This Article will explore the legal and practical basis of these hypotheticals as part of the critique of the functionalist rationale for immunity.
The question of indicting a sitting President is often raised as part of a scenario in which impeachment efforts fail and an indictment is pursued as an alternative (and less credible) form of punishment.(13) This creates the false impression that impeachment and indictment are variations on a common theme. …

The Colorado Supreme Court will become the battlefield Tuesday in a fight to ban cyanide heap leach gold mining and a counterattack to limit the role of counties in regulating the industry.
The state's highest court will hear a case pitting Summit County against the Colorado Mining Association, an industry group, whose efforts are backed by the state Mined Land Reclamation Board.
At issue is Summit County's ban on open-pit cyanide heap leach gold mining — in which a cyanide solution is used to separate gold from rock.
The ban was enacted in 2004 out of concern the mining technique posed a risk to county waters, said Gary Lindstrom, then a county commission.
Four other counties — Gunnison, Gilpin, Conejos and Costilla — also have bans on cyanide mining.
"The county is trying to ban a legal, regulated economic activity," said Stuart Sanderson, president of the mining association. "The state is the entity with the expertise and knowledge to regulate mining and protect the environment."
Energy industry fights bans
The Summit County lawsuit is just one of a string of cases in which counties are pushing to gain some control over mining and energy development, legal experts say.
In Delta County, for example, there was an effort to control coalbed methane wells, and Gunnison County issued a rule requiring local drilling permits.
La Plata and Las Animas counties also have adopted drilling rules.
"As mining and oil and gas development grow, there is a question of what role counties play," said Travis Stills, managing attorney with the Energy Minerals Law Center, a nonprofit environmental legal adviser.
Like Summit County, Gunnison County in 2006 had to go to court to fend off a lawsuit by the energy industry, supported by the state Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
"We were just looking for a seat at the table," said David Baumgarten, Gunnison County attorney.
An appeals court upheld the parts of Gunnison County's rules dealing with water quality, soil erosion, wildlife, vegetation and livestock, but it struck down portions on the setting financial and record- keeping requirements for companies.
The decision was appealed by the industry, but the Supreme Court let the lower court ruling stand.
In the Summit case, as in the Gunnison case, the core legal question is whether state laws and regulations pre-empt counties from taking action.
"There is a constant tension over the role of county and the role of the state," Baumgarten said.
In the appellate ruling that upheld key elements of the Summit County ban, the court said local rules did not conflict with the state's Mining Land Reclamation Act.
The court noted that the mining act even states that operators are subject to local zoning and land use.
"We see this as a zoning issue," said Josh Marks, an attorney representing Summit County. "We aren't trying to regulate mining, only establish land use."
A county like Summit at river headwaters might decide cyanide gold mining wasn't appropriate anywhere, Marks said, while a county with a mining history might designate areas for cyanide mining.
The state's only operating cyanide heap leach mine — the Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Co. — is in Teller County.
"The population, terrain and conditions vary from county to county, and those differences aren't in state rules," said Colin Henderson, head of the Alliance for Responsible Mining, which has been spearheading efforts to ban cyanide mining.
Fears grounded in 1993 disaster
Worries over cyanide mining go back to the 1993 Summitville Mine disaster that left a square mile of waste and contaminated the Alamosa River.
In that case, the federal government had to take emergency action at the bankrupt operation to prevent an earthen dam from releasing a pool of cyanide-laced water.
In its brief supporting the mining association, the Mined Land Reclamation Board argued that the legislature rejected the idea of a state cyanide mining ban because a ban is "extreme" and regulating mining is not a land-use decision.
"The state agencies have always been very protective of their power," said Stills, of the Energy Minerals Law Center. "But the state has to concede counties have a role."

Favorite part of the trip! I had been on this exact same tour three years ago when I first went to Paris and nothing has changed. Extremely beautiful! This tour is very affordable too and definitely worth the money/time!
lisa c USA
It was a great time going down the river and listening to the music and history! The bus ride was great too! It was comfortable and the tour guide was interesting. We loved it!!!
Beautiful tour and excellent tour guide. Timing was very off, but I think that was because we had to drive across town to get folks near the railroad station and then we missed our scheduled boat tour and had to wait.
The guide was very kind. It was a raining evening and the bus windshield was covered with moisture. She helped us wipe off several times. Very kind of her. The cruise and the ride were both wonderful. Very worthwhile.
Our party of eight loved this tour! This was our farewell to Paris tour - after seven days in the city we saw it all for the last time from the Seine. Our van driver was very accommodating and instead of a city tour by van, drove us to the Arc de Triumphe and waited while we climbed to the top. We saved this view for last as there is no better view of the Eiffel Tower at night than the one from the top of the Arch de Triumphe. Exceeded our expectations on all levels.
I was very trilled with this tour, also with the great support to this company at every place I toured; I'll do it again in my next trip.
Although I highly recommend this activity, I would say that the Seine cruise could probably be eliminated. It was OK, but with so many people on the boat, it was a bit distracting, and we didn't get the enjoyment out of this that we did out of the illuminations tour. We loved that part of the tour. It gave such a great overview of most of Paris, and was absolutely beautiful. Definitely recommended!
This really was a great way to see Paris at dusk.
Simply the best! Loved both the bus tour and the cruise. Paris is unbelievably beautiful at night. Had a great seat up top on the bus tour and found the commentary very informative. The cruise on the Seine was fabulous! This is a "must do" trip when you come to Paris.
This was a most enjoyable experience. Paris is at its best at night. Guide was excellent!
Katharine Trayer
We got to see many things in a decent amount of time. It was beautiful at night! Also, it was very fairly priced. Highly recommended.
The tour was great! We started off at the museum which had a lot of great stuff and included a 10 minute video about the invasion. After that we had a wonderful lunch provided with a little time left for those who wanted to check out the gift shop or look at any stuff we didn't get to see already. Then we headed for Pointe du Hoc which was amazing. To see the bombed out pillboxes and the craters still all over the place was such an experience. We then headed to Omaha beach and then on to one of the American cemeteries. We finished the day by a quick stop at both Juno and Gold beaches. At Gold Beach you can still see the barges and other vessels they sunk to make the artificial harbor. It was definitely a long day, but well worth it. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Paris not just those into history or WWII.
A must!
Very good tour. The city of lights looks stunning at night. The cruise leaves in close proximity to the Eiffel Tower which looks amazing all light up.
Good value for your money.
Lovely night cruise. We were treated to an iluminated Eiffel Tower with twinkling lights to boot! Highly recommended.
First time we took that tour. İt was enchanting. Paris illuminated is much different from Paris by day. It's a must ! The river cruise included in this this tour is a poem ! An ode to Paris ! Especially when wheather is good !
Excellent Guide. Will always use Viator for future travel
Very well organised tour from start to finish. It was a lovely way to see the sights of Paris and was well worth doing. The commentary was very good and seeing the sights of Paris in this way was the highlight of my visit.
This was a great introduction to Paris at night. Everything was wonderful.
Dianne S Australia
The River Cruise was really good it was nice watching paris light up from the River and the information on the boat was very informative, the Illumination Tour was good even though we had seen some of the stuff on the boat our driver was a lot of fun and put a different aspect on things. The highlight of this was The Arc de Truimph at night as we could not see this from the boat and all lit up it was beautiful. Would recommend especially for people on a tight time frame
Night tour in Paris, no food, just seeing the town with some great photo opportunities!! The Seine river was spectacular and a must see at night including the Eiffel tower. The rest of the tour was informative and once again breathtaking photo opportunities, truly the city of lights.
This was our first trip to Paris and we like small groups so we booked the small tour for 8 people. Of course, it's a bit more money than a larger tour but well worth it. The driver (tour guide) picks you up and drops you off at your hotel. If you are like me and don't like to find your way to the pick up point... this is a good tour to take! The tour guide spoke english very well and was very knowledgeable! I had my 18 year old with me and she even enjoyed it. She is a student photographer and she was able to get some really good photos of Paris at night. If you visit Paris, don't miss the Seine River Cruise especially at night when Paris is all lite up!
Well worth the value ..... from young to old we all thoroughly enjoyed!
it was a great experience!
We had to wait to much on line to get into the boat. It was raining, but everything ran smoothly.

Economics Update (October-December 1998)
Economics Update (October-December 1998)
Theory and Evidence Shed Light
On Nasdaq Controversy
id securities dealers collude to fix prices and widen bid-ask spreads? This question was the focus of a recent investigation of the National Association of Securities Dealers and the Nasdaq market by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice.
While academics have amassed substantial evidence relating to the Nasdaq scandal, they have not reached a consensus concerning whether dealers colluded. Lucy F. Ackert, a senior economist at the Atlanta Fed, and Bryan K. Church, an associate professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, explore the Nasdaq pricing controversy in light of economic theory and evidence of alleged collusion in an article in the Atlanta Fed's Economic Review (Third Quarter 1998).
Ackert and Church's article provides a framework for understanding the significance of the Nasdaq controversy. The authors examine the role securities markets play in promoting a stable economy and review the two organizational structures commonly adopted auction and dealer markets. They also consider the sources and economic consequences of divergence in spreads, elaborate on what constitutes collusive behavior, and summarize the case against Nasdaq.
Spreads may be large on Nasdaq, Ackert and Church find, because dealers had little incentive to compete using price and to narrow the spread. In addition, institutional features such as preferencing may limit competition for order flow, the effect of which is to produce spreads that are wider than those observed in a purely competitive setting.
By removing institutional obstacles, policymakers encouraged price competition. Ackert and Church note that if orders are exposed to the entire market, dealers have greater incentive to improve inside price quotes and may compete less on nonprice dimensions and offer fewer services to their clients.
Stern warnings and scrutiny from regulators and investigators are likely to dampen dealers' incentives to engage in collusive arrangements, whether explicit or implicit. Recent changes in the market, Ackert and Church conclude, should lead to narrower spreads and improved market efficiency.

Migraines & Headaches Health Center
Occipital Neuralgia
In this article
Occipital neuralgia is a neurological condition in which the occipital nerves -- the nerves that run from the top of the spinal cord at the base of the neck up through the scalp -- are inflamed or injured. Occipital neuralgia can be confused with a migraine, or other types of headache, because the symptoms can be similar. But occipital neuralgia is a distinct disorder that requires an accurate diagnosis to be treated properly.
Symptoms of Occipital Neuralgia
Occipital neuralgia can cause very intense pain that feels like a sharp, jabbing, electric shock in the back of the head and neck. Other symptoms of occipital neuralgia may include:
- Aching, burning, and throbbing pain that typically starts at the base of the head and radiates to the scalp
- Pain on one or both sides of the head
- Pain behind the eye
- Sensitivity to light
- Tender scalp
- Pain when moving the neck
Causes of Occipital Neuralgia
Occipital neuralgia is the result of compression or irritation of the occipital nerves due to injury, entrapment of the nerves, or inflammation. Many times, no cause is found.
There are many medical conditions that are associated with occipital neuralgia, including:
- Trauma to the back of the head
- Neck tension and/or tight neck muscles
- Osteoarthritis
- Tumors in the neck
- Cervical disc disease
- Infection
- Gout
- Diabetes
- Blood vessel inflammation
Diagnosing Occipital Neuralgia
If you think you may have occipital neuralgia, make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will ask questions about your medical history and any injuries you may have had, and perform a physical exam. He or she should press firmly around the back of your head where the occipital nerve resides to see if he can reproduce your pain. Your doctor may also give you an anesthetic nerve block to see if it relieves the pain. If it works, occipital neuralgia is likely the cause of the pain. If your doctor feels your case is not typical, he or she may order blood tests or an MRI scan.
For treatment to work, it is very important that you receive an accurate diagnosis. For example, if you have occipital neuralgia and are prescribed migraine medication, you may not get relief.

Commenting, Jeff Ventura, the Company's President and CEO, said, "Range had outstanding operational results for 2012. The Marcellus Shale play that Range discovered in 2004 became the largest producing field in the U.S. in 2012. Our million acre position in Pennsylvania provides for future growth with low reinvestment risk and strong rates of return. The Marcellus fueled our 29% increase in proved reserves while increasing our liquids reserves by 64%. Year-over-year production was up 36% while our liquids growth in the fourth quarter was 41% compared to the prior year quarter. Our cost structure per mcfe improved in each quarter of 2012. All-in finding and development costs continue to be under a dollar per mcfe with our three year average being $0.82 per mcfe and our three year reserve replacement averaging 815%. Consistent low finding costs are now visibly translating into lower DD&A rates in our financial statements, with $1.46 per mcfe in the fourth quarter. The lower rate will help drive future earnings. Our reserves per well in the Marcellus continue to improve as we gain additional production history and continue to optimize drilling and completion designs."Looking ahead, 2013 should be even better than 2012. We expect to grow production in the 20% to 25% range utilizing our existing low-cost, high rate of return inventory. Range's liquids production is expected to grow disproportionately greater than overall production in 2013 as we continue to focus the majority of our capital in our liquids-rich areas. With the continued ramp up in production volumes, we expect our cost structure to improve further as volumes grow faster than our absolute costs. Importantly, with our access to the growing global markets for NGLs through our innovative Mariner West and East projects we are increasing our price realizations and improving our profit margins. In addition to the Marcellus, our Horizontal Mississippian oil play is gaining substantial momentum and should add to our liquids production and reserves, while the Cline Shale, Wolfberry and Utica plays have exciting liquids potential. We are looking for 2013 to be a year of increasing production, reserves, cash flow and earnings which should translate into higher per share value for all Range shareholders."

The independent agency the7stars has taken a 25 per cent stake and will house the business in its new office on Dean Street, London.
The Village Communications will handle media activity for First Drinks products including Glenfiddich, Hendrick's Gin, Remy Martin and Cointreau. Initially, the agency will work alongside the creative agency Leagas Delaney to implement a global media strategy for the Glenfiddich label.
The Village Communications will offer strategic media planning to clients, as well as events and experiential activity. Following the win of its founding client, the agency will focus on pitches for clients in the luxury and retail sectors.

Two luminaries in the Jewish literary world are facing off against one another over an obscure tenure decision in Chicago. According to a report in The New York Times, Alan Dershowitz, a law professor at Harvard and defender of Israel who once defended O.J. Simpson, has taken it upon himself to get involved in the academic career of Norman Finkelstein, a political science professor at DePaul University. Normally tenure decisions are quiet affairs, known for confidentiality and discussions behind closed doors, but Finkelstein's has been anything but.
According to the Times, Dershowitz had been in touch with officials at DePaul regarding Finkelstein going back to 2005. He has apparently been partially responsible for holding up Finkelstein's tenure, but not without annoying some of those involved. The chair of Finkelstein's department, for instance, is quoted as saying, "Everyone has been offended by the degree of outside pressure which shows no respect for the integrity of our process and our institution."
To an outsider, the question might be why? In this case, it involves Finkelstein's writing on the Holocaust, a central concern for virtually all Jews as well as a pivotal issue in Jewish studies. One might think the murder of millions of innocent people would be something Jews could agree upon, but alas, the Holocaust, like virtually everything else, has become politicized in recent years with Finkelstein's book "The Holocaust Industry" asserting that some are trying to use those tragic events for personal and political reasons.
Virulent criticism
An old joke has it that any argument involving two Jews will have at least three points of view, but this has gone far beyond polite or even impolite disagreement. Both men have websites that feature virulent criticism of the other. On his, (normanfinkelstein.com) Finkelstein has described Dershowitz as "a raving maniac" among other things, while Dershowitz (alandershowitz.com) has responded with "The Ten Stupidest Thing Norman Finkelstein has Said" and "The Ten Cruelest Things Norman Finkelstein has said" (No. 1 - "Elie Wiesel is such a ridiculous character").
Entertaining as this slugfest might be, however, there is a larger issue here having to do with the place of the Holocaust and Holocaust studies in the intellectual Jewish world. In "The Holocaust Industry," Finkelstein, himself the son of Holocaust survivors, argued in part that American Jews and Israelis have used the Holocaust to extort money from Germany and oppress the Palestinians. In addition to criticizing Nobel Prize-winner Wiesel, Finkelstein also has disparaging things to say about Stephen Spielberg's film, "Schindler's List," itself based on the book of the same name.
Against this is Dershowitz's "The Case for Israel," written in the form of a legal brief in which Dershowitz asserts among other things that Palestinians have been engaged in a 75-year war "dedicated to genocidal aggression against civilians" and claims that at least one Palestinian leader was also a "Nazi war criminal."This is painting with a broad brush even if more sober arguments could be mounted on either side. Jews were living in Palestine long before the creation of the state of Israel in 1947, and it can certainly be argued that Israel would not exist were it not for the Holocaust and the resultant worldwide sympathy for the idea of a homeland for Jews. It was this, though not only this, that led to the partition of what had been a British protectorate before World War II and the ceaseless conflict that has marked the region ever since. This doesn't mean, however, that anyone who supports Israel or who writes on the subject is manipulating the public view of history.
Fray long-standing
Holocaust literature existed long before either Finkelstein or Dershowitz entered the fray. Survivors like Primo Levi ("Survival in Auschwitz") and Bruno Bettelheim contributed provocative theories of who survived in the camps and who did not. While Tadeusz Borowski ("This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen") and William Styron ("Sophie's Choice") provided fictional interpretations of this ghastly experience. Hannah Arendt ("Eichmann in Jerusalem") and Lucy Dawidowicz ("The War Against the Jews") provided historical and psychological contexts for events that had few, if any, precedents in modern history with Dawidowicz quoting Hitler's "Mein Kampf" to damning effect.
Terrence Des Pres' small masterpiece "The Survivor" was marked by its eloquent rebuttal of Bettelheim's theories of survival. Finally, Arthur Morse's "While Six Million Died" provided shameful evidence of the willingness of Americans, Jews and gentiles alike, to hide their heads in the sand while Hitler's minions went about their work. So-called Holocaust deniers are hard at work to convince some that Hitler has just been misunderstood, while others, like Daniel Goldhagen ("Hitler's Willing Executioners"), would have us believe that the genocide practiced upon the Jews was a result of general anti-Semitism among the German people rather than the expression of a psychotic's crusade.
Whichever side one chooses to take, one might hope that this somber subject would remain serious, rather than providing ammunition for either political debate or tenure wars. But given the personalities involved this seems like a futile wish.
DePaul won't announce its decision until June but regardless of the eventual outcome, it seems unlikely that it will result in voices being lowered as neither Finkelstein nor Dershowitz seems inclined to back off. In fact, judging from the scatological evidence on their websites, the conflict is getting hotter by the minute, which is unfortunate. Personal quarrels will occur, of course, in academia as well as anywhere else, but less bombastic personalities might be concerned about possible negative effects this ugly fight will have on the image of Jews and the Holocaust in the larger societies of America and the world.

The New York Attorney General's 2004 insurance investigation revealed compelling evidence pointing to the widespread practice of bid rigging and other improper transactions perpetrated by ACE, AIG, and Marsh, among others. ACE avoided a trial by paying a large settlement, agreeing to significantly change its business practices, and the company issued a formal apology to consumers who had been victimized.
Give Back the Money, Bankruptcy Trustee Tells ACE American
January 24, 2012 - The trustee in the bankruptcy of a scandalous Florida mortgage company has sued ACE American Insurance Co. to recover funds allegedly wired to the insurer prior to the mortgage company's insolvency.
Neil F. Luria, trustee to the Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Plan Trust, said in a petition filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Jacksonville, Fla., that he demanded ACE American return $172,157.73. However, the ACE USA Group unit reportedly has not re-paid the amount requested, leading to the suit.
Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp. was one of the nation's largest wholesale mortgage lenders when on Aug. 3, 2009, FBI agents raided its offices in Ocala, Fla., in connection with a probe of the firm's takeover of Colonial BancGroup. The company, based in Ocala, Fla., ceased operations and on Aug. 24, 2009, declared bankruptcy.
Luria's suit said that in the 90 days leading up to the bankruptcy petition, Bean wired three payments to ACE American. The precise nature of the business relationship was not described, but Luria said that ACE American is a creditor of Taylor, Bean. So he sued the insurer pursuant to laws that bar preferential transfers of funds to creditors in run-ups to bankruptcy filings.
Taylor, Bean was described by DSNews.com as "possibly one of the most notorious mortgage fraud schemes in U.S. history." The company's bankruptcy triggered the collapse of regional lender Colonial Bank and cost government loan guarantors billions of dollars, said the mortgage default servicing newsletter.
Lee Farkas, founder and chairman of Taylor, Bean, was sentenced in June to 30 years in prison after being found guilty of federal charges of conspiracy, bank and wire fraud.

McCrory's Dismissal of Liberal Arts
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 10:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 10:32 a.m.
If Governor McCrory had more respect for a Liberal Arts education, perhaps his language skills would be such that he could find more appropriate words to describe our University students than "butts in a seat." After all, our students are human beings, not objects. But I forget myself. McCrory does not value the humanities, does he?

Art Gallery History
On June 21, 2007, Thomas More College unveiled the naming of the new Art Gallery as the "Eva G. Farris Art Gallery." Over 150 friends attended the celebration, which was a surprise to the honoree as part of the annual Thomas More College Foundation Event. After the unveiling, friends dined in the Thomas More Library and had an opportunity to tour the Gallery where a student exhibit was on display.
"For some individuals, giving of their time and resources comes naturally. Eva Farris is one of these special individuals," said Sister Margaret Stallmeyer, former president of Thomas More College. "She not only gives financial support to numerous organizations, but she serves as a committed and passionate volunteer throughout the community."
A portrait of Eva Farris, painted by Thomas More graduate, Taylor Stephenson '07, hangs on the entry wall of the Gallery. Ms. Stephenson is one of two Thomas More art graduates whose work was selected in a national competition to be displayed at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati.
