My LO was just diagnosed with DDH on Tuesday at 4 1/2 months. Two ultasounds were done, one at 7 weeks and one at 4 months and we were told not to worry. We then saw a pediatric orthopedic specialist on Tuesday and he wants to do surgery on Nov. 18 followed by spica cast. Both ultrasounds showed alpha angles in the 60s but this Dr. took an x-ray and recommended surgery instead of a brace. Is this normal? I am now looking for a second opinion. If anyone has used Dr.'s in FL, AL, or GA and are pleased with them please reply to this post. A little bedside manner would be nice. The Dr. we saw was horrible! THANK YOU!

Hi there! Sorry that you're having to deal with this. I would strongly suggest that you get a second opinion. Our DD was diagnosed at birth and at 6days old was put in a Pavlik Harness. I was terrified but our Ortho was great! He answered all my questions; and believe me I was full of them. He was understanding and very willing to work with us and allowed us to be a huge part of our DD treatment planning, which was so important for me. 1/2 way through treatment we moved and the communication between both offices was flawless! I strongly recommend him and hope he's not too far for you to travel to.

We have had a wonderful experience with our ortho. Dr. Mazur at Nemours children's hospital in Jacksonville, FL. When my daughter was first placed in her harness at 3 months, she ended up with a pulled groin (not enough relaxin hormone in her body). When I suspected something was wrong, he had me come in first thing in the morning and in the meantime had me remove the harness. He did a thorough exam and walked me through his thought process on what may have happened. He told me to give it a few days of LOTS of TLC and we scheduled another appt 3 days out in the event she was still miserable. Her groin healed and I ended up not needing the appointment. I have had two lengthy conversations with his assistant, Samantha. She is so knowledgable and helpful and has answered every question I've had so far. We are 2.5 weeks in, and we have our first follow up next week. I can't recommend Dr. Mazur enough.

Shoot, Move and Communicate: Wolverines conduct advanced rifle marksmanship training
April 18, 2013
1st Lt. Jason A. Sexton
1st Squadron, 89th Cavalry Regiment
FORWARD OPERATING BASE SHARANA, Afghanistan (April 15, 2013) --U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to 1st Squadron, 89th Cavalry Regiment, Task Force "Wolverines," 2/10 Security Forces Assistance Brigade, Forward Operating Base Sharana, Afghanistan, took part in an advanced rifle marksmanship range at FOB Sharana April 10-13.
Paul Middlemore, a U.S. Law Enforcement Professional attached to TF "Wolverines," had Soldier's functional weapons skills in mind when he designed the range. The range configuration enabled Soldiers to test their skills at engaging both stationary and moving targets simultaneously, increasing their ability to effectively engage the enemy.
"The object is to have the Soldier change location after each target, while reloading and communicating as they would in actual combat," said Middlemore. "When they get comfortable I activate a moving target in addition to the stationary ones."
Different levels of cover forced Soldiers to change between the prone, kneeling and standing positions, simulating how Soldiers might move during enemy contact.
The course took several hours to set up but only seven minutes to complete, in the views of the Soldiers who executed the range, it was a long seven minutes.
Each shooter had a spotter that doubled as a lane safety. The spotters had an additional responsibility to evaluate the shooters form, foot placement, trigger squeeze and how well they took cover while changing magazines.
"The most difficult part of the course was keeping your wits about you while you are becoming winded from moving to different areas of cover and concealment on-top-of calling out commands," said U.S. Army Sgt. Andrew Thomas, an intelligence analyst assigned to Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, TF "Wolverines."
Thomas' performance met with the training objective; effectively engaging targets while maneuvering through the course. Thomas, who has prior deployment experience said this course would be good for all Soldiers.
"Every Soldier needs to go through the training and keep their skills sharp because you never know what will happen in combat," said Thomas. The level and amount of training involved with this particular range is better than most of what he has seen throughout his time in the military.
The belief that training merely leads up to deployment is a misconstrued notion. Basic Soldier skills such as marksmanship are always needed because you do not know when you will be called upon to use them. Conducting realistic and relevant training, such as this range, is important to all Soldiers both while deployed and at home stations.

What Was the Boston Tea Party? by Kathleen Krull
Welcome back and welcome to our new students – Thomas and Shally! Fourth grade is off to a great start. All the children are enthusiastic and eager to tackle the year. I am looking forward to a very productive year. Our class motto is "ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST." I will encourage them to put forth their best efforts in everything they do.
Here are a few things you should know about grade 4.
There is no morning recess in 4th grade, however, I do give the children a 10-15 minute snack break to stretch, walk around, socialize and use the bathroom. Please pack a nutritious snack for their mid-morning break. We have lunch recess at 11:15 and lunch at 11:35. Gym class is on Tuesday, music is on Wednesday, library and art are on Thursday.
Thank you for taking the time to fill out the survey that will help me get to know your child and for covering all their hardcover books.
We will study all the regions of the United States beginning with the Southwest. Study skills are incorporated into all content areas all year.
All children are expected to have a grade level appropriate chapter book in their desks at all times for independent reading. They are welcome to use my classroom library books.
I am also looking forward to an exciting year of discovering and experimenting this year in science. We will start the year with a solar system unit.
I would like to encourage anyone who could enhance our curriculum to feel free to share their expertise, experience/knowledge with the class.
I feel that good communication between parent and teacher will enhance your child's experience at school. I will do my best to communicate both positive and negative feedback as I feel appropriate, and I hope you will do the same. Fourth graders have school planners. They should be going home every night. Please check their assignments with them. There is a place for parent/teacher communication at the bottom of each page (comments). Please contact me to address any questions or concerns that might arise. You can contact me via your child's planner, a note, by leaving a message at school, or e-mail.

U.S.-Mexico Border Conflict
in U.S. Popular Culture:
Recodifications of the Revolution
and the Porfiriato
Hollywood's Mexico consists of the U.S.-Mexican border as a specific region and the rest
of Mexico as an undifferentiated mass.
— Carlos E. Cortés1
The Mexican Revolution of 1910–1920 was concomitant with the rise of certain forms of visual mass media in the United States, such as feature-length films, newsreels, and picture postcards. Within such media coverage of the Revolution, images of the border figured prominently. Many key battles were fought on the Mexican sides of border twin cities, because they were strategically valuable points of entry for arms from the United States as well as collection sites for customs duties.2 The images of the U.S.-Mexico border of this era mark the emergence of an allegorical way of seeing the region that, I will argue, continues to be invoked to this day. According to this allegorical model, the border is a synecdoche of the nations it divides. That is, developments on the border are perceived to be symptomatic of the overall status of U.S.-Mexico relations, and the importance of border events is presented from the point of view of national actors rather than local inhabitants. This process of marking the border as an internationally strategic site also involved representing it as a militarized zone, rather than merely as a haven for individual deviants, as it had been portrayed in the Western genre.
Turning to this transitional period in Mexican history is also useful for periodizing the historical transformations of border images. In this chapter, I will consider the argument voiced by some Mexican intellectuals that the last three decades represent a "return of the Porfiriato," that is, the three-decade-long dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, which was toppled by the Mexican Revolution of 1910–1920. The comparison of the two historical periods implies that the futuristic "new border" of the post-1965

Alabama State University has been given the speech code rating Red. A red light university has at least one policy that both clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech. Read more here.
Red Light Policies
Discrimination & Harassment Policy
Speech Code Category: Harassment Policies
Last updated: January 4, 2016
The University prohibits the discrimination and harassment of individuals based upon any protected basis: race, national origin, religion, age (40 and over), marital status, disability, sex, and sexual orientation. The University will not tolerate any form of harassment or any offensive conduct that has the effect of severely interfering with an employee's work performance or a student's school performance or creating an intimidating or hostile work environment.
Harassment is behavior (visual, physical or verbal) that has the effect of humiliating, intimidating or coercing another. It is behavior that causes discomfort, embarrassment or emotional distress. It is unwelcome behavior that is persistent and/or pervasive and has the intent or effect of interfering with another's work performance or creating a hostile environment.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when such conduct is directed toward an individual because of his or her gender and has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment or unreasonably interfering with another's work performance.
Generally, a single sexual joke, offensive epithet, or request for a date does not constitute sexual harassment; however, being subjected to such jokes, epithets, or requests repeatedly may constitute sexual harassment. Examples of sexual harassment include but are not limited to:
- Physical – Engaging in sexually suggestive physical contact or touching another employee in a way that is unwelcome, such as pinching, patting, or grabbing.
- Verbal – Derogatory comments, slurs, or other offensive words or comments made on the basis of gender whether made in general or whether directed to an individual or to a group of people regardless of whether the behavior was intended to harass. Telling jokes of a sexual nature; making sexually oriented comments on a person's appearance, sexual rumors, code words, and stories.
- Visual- Posted material, e-mails or material placed in or on University equipment or on one's own personal property or body (including clothing and tattoos) in the workplace, which is offensive on the basis of gender. In determining whether alleged sexually harassing conduct warrants corrective action, all relevant circumstances, including the context in which the conduct occurred, will be considered. Facts will be judged on the basis of what is reasonable to persons of ordinary sensitivity and not on the particular sensitivity or reaction of an individual.
Discriminatory Hostile Environment: Unwanted or persistent verbal or physical conduct made on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, disability, marital status, gender, or age (40 and over) which creates a hostile or intimidating work environment or which unreasonably interferes with an individual's job performance and/or opportunities constitutes discriminatory hostile environment harassment.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Offensive language
- Racial or ethnic slurs
- Demeaning or derogatory comments made on the basis of race, religion, creed, color, national origin, disability, marital status, gender, age, or disability
Hostile conduct can occur whether made in general, directed to an individual, or to a group of people regardless of whether the behavior was intended to harass.
Policy Regarding Abuse of Computers and Network Systems
Speech Code Category: Internet Usage Policies
Last updated: January 4, 2016
Policy violations fall into four categories that involve the use of electronic communications to:
Harass, threaten, or otherwise cause harm to specific individuals, for example, sending an individual repeated and unwanted (harassing) e-mail or using e-mail to threaten or stalk someone.
Download or post to University computers, or transport across University networks, material that is illegal, proprietary, in violation of University contracts, or otherwise is damaging to the institution, for example, launching a computer virus, distributing pornography via the web, or posting a University site-licensed program to a public bulletin board; Other examples include information dealing with cults or the occult, hacking, hate speech, nudism and naturalism, peer to peer file sharing, adult pornography, sexual orientation, and weapons.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Mi Vida Cafe
by Julie R
Review: I FINALLY got around to trying this wonderful cafe. I loved it. The atmosphere is charming. It has several tables inside, as well as a nice counter to sit at. There is also outside seating. Next door there is a beautiful garden, so it's nice to sit outside and see all the pretty plants. Nice ambiance both inside and outside. We ordered the Twin Tacos and a special written on the board, Nori Rolls. The Nori Rolls were SO flavorful. When they came, they were on the plate arranged like a little work of art. They were beautiful to look at (see my photo). I really enjoyed them. The Twin Tacos were delicious too; a tad spicy. Not real spicy, but I don't like spice at all and they had a bit of a bite to them. They were delicious too. Both items were small. You can watch the chef prepare the food if you sit at the counter - it's fun to watch; he takes a lot of pride in his creations. The service was excellent. The other guy working behind the counter kept asking if we needed anything explained, and was quick to tell us all the specials of the day - he was so nice and friendly. Later on, the owner came in and she is equally as nice. She goes from table to table talking to the patrons. The inside was super clean and had some nice character with all the eclectic furniture. It was a busy day (Sunday), but the service was still very quick. I enjoyed my lunch here, and will definitely be back. I came away feeling as if I had given my body a treat that was good for it!! If I had to whine about one thing, it would be the high prices. I found the food to be on the pricey side. Our items were very small, and were each $10. Some of the specials on the board were as high as $14. I truly believe you get what you pay for, so it's not something that will prevent me from returning - however, I do take prices into consideration when I am choosing where I eat. But, I still loved it.

I am facing an issue with rake. When I give rake, rake fails with the following error:
/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/oci8.rb:228 - ORA-28002: the password will expire within 5 days
The problem here is that OCILogon will give a status as OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO which i believe is not handled in evn.c
So when I dug up into the code, I found that evn.c did indeed have check only for OCI_SUCCESS But then, I changed the code to something like this in the function oci8_logon present in env.c of ruby:
rv = OCILogon(envh->hp, envh->errhp, &svchp,
u.ptr, u.len, p.ptr, p.len, d.ptr, d.len);
if (rv != OCI_SUCCESS && rv != OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO) {
oci8_raise(envh->errhp, rv, NULL);
Still I am facing the same issue. I verified the return value (rv) it is coming as 1 which from oci.h, I verified to be OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO
Any idea what I need to do next?
PS: I don't want to go and change the password expiry behavior on the oracle side by changing the Profile to which the account is associated. I need a workaround at ruby level.

Salinger, the Swamis, and the Secrets
New letters shed light on J.D. Salinger's spiritual life—and reinforce the need for his estate to come clean about what, if any, works remain locked in the vault.
I'm standing outside an imposing four-story graystone townhouse. Located on a leafy, blossoming block of East 94th Street in Manhattan, it's the headquarters and worship center of the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Society, the spiritual home to J.D. Salinger during his mystifying Silent Years. The home to his late guru, Swami Nikhilananda, a name I'm sure you know but one I only just learned from reading some Salinger letters recently donated to the Morgan Library by the swamis from the Center here.
Not those letters—the ones that got the most media attention recently—a cache of charmingly flirtatious missives Salinger wrote to a young woman in Toronto in the early '40s, when he was just getting his stories published, before he shipped out for infantry combat in Europe. They got most of the attention for their gossipy content (inside stuff about The New Yorker!).
No, I'm speaking of the other cache of newly acquired letters at the Morgan, which the Times didn't even mention: the deeply serious, spiritually oriented letters Salinger wrote to the swamis here, donated to the library just a month before the flirty ones. They didn't make as much of a splash, but to my mind they go to the heart of the matter, the heart of Salinger's mind. They testify to the state of Salinger's soul in his Silent Years: the half-century or so following the explosive mid-'50s success of The Catcher in the Rye, when he retreated from the world, secreted himself on a hidden hilltop cottage above a tiny New Hampshire town, stopped responding to an ever more demanding and feverish fanhood and press. Retreated aesthetically into an ever more hermetic fictional universe that diminished to the dimensions of an Upper West Side apartment inhabited by a super-precocious family named Glass whose increasingly narrowed focus was on the oldest of seven children, the mystical windbag and spiritual suicide, Seymour. Increasingly incoherent fictions clogged with a smorgasbord of half-digested chunks of Eastern mysticism. Culminating in his Finnegans Wake, the last story he published while alive, "Hapworth 6, 1924," a story that appeared in The New Yorker in 1965 and was followed by 45 years of not publishing. Though apparently still writing but denying to the world whatever it was he'd written.
Could he have realized he had painted himself into a corner with his incessant, increasingly verbose, even frantic attempts to badger us into believing in the seer-like wisdom of Seymour Glass? The struggle to anoint Seymour as Holy Man incarnate seemed to reach a peak of ludicrous fervor in that final "Hapworth" story, which consisted, in the main, of a 25,000-word "letter from camp" purportedly written by 7-year-old Seymour, parading an impossible erudition and supposedly giving us the full flavor of his prodigious wisdom and spiritual prodigality.
That was what was so tantalizing about all the rumors about the never-seen ghost manuscripts Salinger supposedly produced in the Silent Years, when he was said to be working steadily. In an email, his most recent biographer, Kenneth Slawenski, told me he believes Salinger completed, or nearly completed, at least two novels. Letters and memoirs have depicted Salinger adhering to a dawn-'til-dusk writing schedule all those years with the typewritten pages said to be piled up in a vault somewhere.
Tantalizing because they raise the question: Was Salinger struggling for 45 years to paint himself out of that corner, to extricate himself from Seymour worship? Or was he painting himself further and further in, trying to make Seymour live up to his impossible billing?
Were the ghost manuscripts straight out of The Shining: "All work and no play makes Seymour a dull boy"? (Could Seymour possibly be more dull than he already is?) I'd been tracking the question of the ghost manuscripts—do they exist, will they ever see the light of day—for some time. And recent developments put me back on the case, this time with a new approach. A direct appeal, like the one I used with the Nabokov estate.
My renewed interest began with an email request from the writer Thomas Beller who, in the course of completing his biography of Salinger had come upon my most recent Slate story on Salinger and asked me for the URL of a now-defunct Hungarian website that had once hosted some of Salinger's early uncollected stories, which I got to read before the site was taken down. Salinger had long sought to disappear what he considered his imperfect early work. (I still had the Hungarian URL, now 404-ed.) Beller and I discussed the question of whether one of those stories "Go See Eddie"—no longer available—might have portended a road not taken in Salinger's fiction.
A more sexy direction, perhaps, as suggested by Renata Adler in a memoir in which she recounted Salinger telling her that he stopped writing for The New Yorker because he wanted to write more about sex and he believed William Shawn was too puritanical to countenance it in his pages. (I believe Adler's story; anyway, I like the idea of Salinger writing about sex—as long as it's not Seymour sex).
And then there were the reports of a forthcoming Salinger documentary (and associated book), which promised new "revelations." And finally, I learned about—and read—the overlooked Morgan Library Swami letters, which led me here, to the sidewalk outside the Ramakrishna Center. And left me with a dilemma: Would I be, in effect, spying on Salinger's departed soul by entering into his swami's domain for the worship service about to begin?
I had learned to be careful with the wishes of departed literary eminences. My initial purpose in going to the Morgan, where I encountered the swami letters, was to seek to do for the Salinger estate what I had done for the Vladimir Nabokov estate. Slate readers might recall the series of stories I wrote to persuade the late writer's son Dmitri to cease his three decades of dithering and finally make a decision as to whether he would burn his father's last incomplete draft of a novel (The Original of Laura) as his father had instructed him—or publish it. (By the time Dmitri went ahead and published it and thanked me in the acknowledgements for the campaign I'd waged, I had decided it was a mistake; he should have burned it.)

Mpemba - 12 oz bagMpemba's coffee is simply impressive. From the cooperative's inception a few years ago to it's repeated recognition for quality, it may be best to let the coffee from this small cooperative in northern Burundi speak for itself. Notes of bright green apple and stone fruit give way to a light floral note that is crisp and complex.

Masira – 12 oz Bag
Recognizing Uganda's incredible potential for quality, we worked with our partners at the Chema washing station to create some unique coffees. This lot was specially selected from the highest farms in the region and processed using underwater fermentation—in place of their usual dry-fermentation method—to create a momentous coffee with bright notes of black cherry and cola with a creamy body.

Luis Huayhua – 12 oz bagSingle-Farmer Lot
Luis Huayhua of Nueva Llusta, Bolivia, continues to be a model farmer—producing some of the best coffees in the Cenaproc cooperative.

Los Rosales - 12 oz BagWith a climate influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, the region of Nariño, Colombia, is a special place that is known for great coffees. It is there—in particular the towns of Buesaco and Tablón de Gómez—that the Cafés Especiales cooperative members focus on selections of their Caturra variety for this stunning lot with notes of black cherry, plum, and milk chocolate.

La Golondrina – 12 oz bag
The Orgánica cooperative in the region of Cauca, Colombia, has been creating coffee for our La Golondrina offering since 2007. Over the years, they have shown they are one of the strongest organizations we work with—and it's no wonder they have one of the best organic coffees in the country. Look for layered flavors of milk chocolate, cherry, and nut.

Kabeywa Natural Sundried – 12 oz Bag
Grown on the northwestern slopes of Mount Elgon in Uganda, this natural sundried coffee is the result of trial experiments and our collaboration with the Chema washing station.

Jarama – 12 oz bag
In the western district of Nyamasheke, Rwanda—only a few kilometers from the beautiful Lake Kivu—Jarama is an exciting new farm. Planted in 2012 and 2013, this 18-hectare farm, and the organization that manage it, are already receiving awards for their quality. Look for notes of raisin, brown sugar, and clementine.

Idido – 12 oz bag
The Idido cooperative is located just east of the small, bustling town of Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Its members—situated throughout seven communities in the area—are growing some of the highest-altitude coffee in the region. We work closely with this organic cooperative year after year to select their best coffees, which are known for their sweet and delicate floral, melon, and citrus notes.

Finca El Puente – 12 oz bag
We met Moisés Herrera and Marysabel Caballero—the couple that runs Finca El Puente—in 2005. Since then, they have become like family and inspire us every year. From experimental coffee varieties and growing techniques to unique ways of processing, they push the boundaries of quality. This mostly Catuai-variety lot is lush with notes of Concord grape accented by a brown-sugar sweetness that finishes with a crisp, toasted nut character.
Learn more$17.25
Decaf Las Redes de Cenfrocafe – 12 oz bag
The term Las Redes is Spanish for "the networks," and each group of farmers the Cenfrocafe Cooperative works with in Northern Peru has a different network name based on the micro-regions their coffees come from. This particular lot is a blend of a few micro-regions that we decaffeinated with an organic water process—leaving intact buttery notes of cocoa powder, walnut, and plum.

I need a unique fighting style for my character

Absol's main unique quality is critical hits: the ability Super Luck and a plethora of high-crit-rate moves. It's an all-or-nothing sort of Pokémon: powerful in attacking and moderately fast, but able to be laid out, in most cases, in a single hit. That and its uncanny ability to predict disaster are its defining traits, and so far your characters' fighting styles seem to be based on their species' defining traits.
So what does that mean for your character? I'd say her style would be based around luck and mild clairvoyance. Chance glimpses mid-combat of the opponent's next move in her minds' eye would allow her to evade attacks with near-supernatural grace and ease; her actual attacks might not be so effective, but by making effective use of her prediction abilities, perhaps she could gain the breathing space necessary to perform some kind of 'critical hit', which for the purposes of this proposal I'm thinking would be some form of charged attack with far greater power than a normal one. (This also chimes nicely with Razor Wind - which is, by the way, one of the most inexplicable Pokémon moves of all time.) Alternatively, thinking about Absol's array of priority moves, she might utilise her clairvoyance to predict where the opponent will be and strike at its weak point before it can even move (which would also fit well with the idea of critical hits).
I don't know if any of that was helpful - or if it even made sense - but I think that's what I'd do, anyway.
Good luck with your story!

Canada's Dollar Rallies as Crude Oil Touches Three-Month High
Canada's dollar rose against all of its 16 most-traded counterparts as crude oil, the nation's largest export, touched the highest level in three months.
The currency extended its gain versus the U.S. dollar on buoyed demand for higher-yielding assets as North American stocks advanced after the European Central Bank Executive Board member Juergen Stark said in Switzerland that the euro region's debt crisis will be under control in two years.
"The Canadian dollar is still something that people like in terms of the fundamental backdrop," Brian Kim, a currency strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc's RBS Securities unit in Stamford, Connecticut, said in a phone interview. "Europe has been the larger focus. The commodity story has definitely been driving it as well."
Canada's currency appreciated 0.6 percent to C$1.0126 per U.S. dollar at 5 p.m. in Toronto. One Canadian dollar buys 98.76 U.S. cents. The loonie, as the currency is known, fell 2.7 percent last week in its first five-day decline since September. Among major counterparts today, it had its biggest gain versus the Swiss franc, rising 2.4 percent to 88.95 centimes.
Futures on crude oil gained 1.6 percent to $95.96 a barrel in New York trading and touched $96.11, the highest level since Aug. 1. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index increased 0.6 percent. The S&P/TSX Composite Index gained 0.4 percent.
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said he'll step down to make way for a coalition government and secure outside financing to avoid a collapse of the nation's economy.
Italian Prospects
The news agency Ansa said Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi denied a report by Giuliano Ferrara, his former spokesman and editor of the newspaper Il Foglio, who wrote today that the premier would step down "within hours." Berlusconi will likely resign next week in return for support in a vote on austerity and economic-growth measures, Ferrara said in a phone interview after his initial report.
Two-year bonds dropped, with yields up two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 0.95 percent after falling last week 16 basis points in the first decrease since the five days ended Sept. 23.
The yields ended the week at 0.93 percent, down from this year's high of 1.96 percent on Feb. 15. The spread between yields on two-year Canada government bonds and Treasuries of the same maturity was little changed at 72 basis points.
Canadian Auction
Canada will sell C$3.5 billion ($3.5 billion) of 1 percent bonds due in February 2014 on Nov. 9, according to the Bank of Canada's website. The previous auction of two-year bonds on Oct. 19 produced an average yield of 1.097 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.38, compared with a five-auction average of 2.47, Bank of Canada figures show.
Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty may say he won't be able to fulfill his plan to balance the budget within three years in an update of the government's fiscal plan to be released as early as tomorrow.
Flaherty may update his projections at a luncheon speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, according to two people familiar with the plan who spoke on condition they not be identified because the event has not yet been announced.
The loonie has dropped 4.4 percent this year in the worst performance among 10 developed-nation currencies, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Currency Indexes. The greenback is down 2.4 percent.

Each September during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, ChiliHeads and guests of the casual dining favorite participate in an annual fundraising campaign to support the lifesaving work of St. Jude. During the Create-A-Pepper campaign, Chiliheads will raise donations by selling Create-A-Pepper coloring sheets, St. Jude/Chili's Sunglasses, and Create-A-Pepper T- Shirts. Guest can also make donations directly on the tabletop Ziosk device.
This year, Chili's partnered with American country music group, Lady Antebellum, to raise awareness for St. Jude and encourage guests to "lend a voice in the fight against childhood cancer."
The Create-A-Pepper campaign grew out of a local effort that began in 2002 when seven Memphis-area Chili's raised $14,000 with nothing more than crayons and pepper coloring sheets. In 2003, the promotion expanded to include five Southeastern states; the regional effort raised $50,000. In 2004, Chili's and St. Jude took the local program and expanded it into a national partnership. In addition to the coloring sheets, Chili's decided to donate an incredible 100 percent of net profits on the last Monday of September. The goal of the first national campaign in 2004 was to raise $2 million; Chili's raised more than $2.5 million. In 2006, Chili's announced plans to raise $50 million over a 10-year period, the largest single partner donation in the history of the hospital. In honor of the partnership, a state-of-the-art-building was named the Chili's Care Center. Completed in November 2007, the center houses the bone marrow transplant inpatient floor, the Department of Radiological Sciences, inpatient activity areas and research laboratories. The center provides St. Jude kids with more sophisticated diagnostic imaging technologies and more precise radiation therapy.
With each passing year, ChiliHeads and guests are more committed to St. Jude. This campaign has become an annual tradition uniting communities nationwide and in Puerto Rico and Canada, making Chili's the destination for families and friends to gather and enjoy great food while helping St. Jude. To date, Chili's has raised more than $54 million for St. Jude.
This year, Chili's is extending their partnership with St. Jude beyond the month of September by taking part in the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign and a Super Bowl Give Back event.
Information for Residents of Alberta
American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities, Inc. (ALSAC) is the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other deadly diseases. And families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food- because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Chili's restaurants in Alberta are partnering with ALSAC to raise funds and awareness for St. Jude. From August 24 - September 14, customers at Chili's restaurants will be able to make a donation to St. Jude for the opportunity to design their own chili pepper. On September 14th, Chili's will conduct an additional campaign in which it donates all of its profits for that day to St. Jude.
Because both campaigns are pin-up style campaigns that Chili's creates and manages, ALSAC has incurred less than $100 in costs related to these campaigns. ALSAC hopes to raise about $15,000 total from both campaigns.
ALSAC is incorporated in Illinois, USA and has its headquarters at 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105, USA. For more information about ALSAC and St. Jude, please call Donor Services at (800) 294-7686.

Very nice and different take on the Pokemon Finneon! I especially adore the simple variations in this design and the hint of luminosity coming off its pink stripes. The line weight is also well rendered, giving this Finneon good form. Great work!

Why do people always put a "~" at the end of their sentence nowadays? What does it even mean?
"~" originally had the meaning of talking on a 'singerish' or more melodic tone
Nowadays it just became more popular and gives a more 'happy' connotation to the sentence, just like normal smileys
Nowadays it just became more popular and gives a more 'happy' connotation to the sentence, just like normal smileys

Man denies shooting chargeSeptember 17,2013Man denies
shooting charge
BRATTLEBORO A 24-year-old Brattleboro man pleaded innocent Monday to charges that he fired a weapon at another Brattleboro man Sunday night.
Reginald Derisne was arrested by Brattleboro police shortly after the incident at Moore Court, a housing development in downtown Brattleboro. No one was hurt in the incident.
Derisne was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a weapon, reckless endangerment, and driving while under the influence, as well as giving false information to a police officer, and several counts of violating conditions of release from an earlier domestic violence case.
According to court records, Judge Katherine Hayes ordered Derisne held for lack of $75,000 bail, and he was also ordered not to have any contact with his alleged victim.MORE IN This Just In

Europe, in the early months of 1914, seemed to be at peace. Sir Winston Churchill, writing in the 1920s, recalled that 'the spring and summer of 1914 were marked in Europe by an exceptional tranquility'. Anglo-German relations, after years of tense naval rivalry, seemed to be improving as the two powers negotiated amicably about the possible future disposition of the Portuguese colonial empire in Africa. French bitterness towards Germany, centred on the lost provinces' of Alsace and Lorraine, appeared to be abating. Austria-Hungary and Russia had refused to allow their Balkan 'clients' to draw them into war in 1912 and 1913.
But this picture of reduced tensions and of increasing stability amongst Europe's great powers was illusory. It masked great underlying problems and increasing pessimism on the part of many European leaders about developments which they believed were undermining their countries' position and great power status. Since 1900, Europe had been wracked by a series of crises, each of which had brought her great powers closer to war. These crises were provoked by a number of serious issues which were causing mounting friction amongst the powers and which, by 1914, in the opinion of many European statesmen, were becoming insoluble by means other than resort to war.

Perfect open and distinguishable multivalued maps
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: It is shown that perfect open multivalued maps preserve -analytic sets (which include compact zero sets) as well as other objects of descriptive set theory. The concept of ``distinguishability", introduced by Frolík, is applied to multivalued maps, yielding a new class of such maps with similar preservation properties.
That the projection of a compact zero set is a zero set is one corollary, and another is a generalized diagonal metrization theorem.

Logistics chief tours Charleston's prepositioned stock
May 4, 2010
Story Highlights
- The Army's deputy chief of staff for logistics visited with personnel supporting ASC's Prepositioned Stock Program.
CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The Army's deputy chief of staff for logistics got some face time with personnel supporting the Army Sustainment Command's Prepositioned Stock Program located at Charleston, S.C., and walked away confident of mission operations.
"I could not be more comfortable with operations here at Charleston, knowing you and your team are on duty," Lt. Gen. Mitchell H. Stevenson told Bob O'Brien, general manager, Army Strategic Logistics Activity Charleston (ASLAC), during a late-March visit.
Stevenson's mission was to review operations that the ASLAC provides in support of the Army Prepositioned Stocks (APS-3) Program at Charleston. The site is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility that provides maintenance services for all afloat prepositioned stocks except ammunition.
The Army's other afloat prepositioned operations are located at Diego Garcia in the India Ocean, and Korea and Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
Stevenson's visit also included learning about the MRAP (mine-resistant ambush protected)/MATV (MRAP all-terrain vehicle) integration support services that the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) provides to the Army at its site located at the Naval Weapons Station, Charleston.
Upon arrival at the Charleston AFB, Stevenson was greeted by Col. Kenneth Dyer, commander, 406th Army Field Support Brigade; Col. Martha Meeker, commander, 628th Air Wing; and O'Brien.
After a series of briefings on critical support missions that ASLAC performs, Stevenson toured the USNS Watson, which was at the pier loading APS-3 equipment and supplies.
The Watson has since deployed to its area of operation in the Pacific Ocean. It is the first ship to be loaded and deployed in support of the Army's 2015 Strategy.
This strategy, in part, positions equipment afloat for land-based, modular heavy brigade combat teams and for modular infantry brigade combat teams at strategic locations worldwide.
The strategy will give combatant commanders responsive capabilities to a range of activities, while reducing lift requirements in the early phases of military operations, according to ASC brochures.
Stevenson was also briefed on the operational enhancements that the ASC and ASLAC have implemented to decrease force stand-up timelines, enhance combat support and improve APS-3 readiness.
Hands-on demonstrations of enhancements such as a deployed TMDE (test, measurement and diagnostic equipment) calibration laboratory, use of refrigerated containers to store MREs (meals, ready to eat), use of stackable storage frames to facilitate storage, force hand-off of secondary loaded supplies, specialty containers to support deployment, maintenance of ancillary weapons, and new corrosion control procedures to protect equipment in long-term humidity-controlled storage on the ship.
The trip concluded with a tour of the Navy's SPAWAR Systems Center Atlantic where the Stevenson received mission briefings and a walking tour of the services SPAWAR provides to the Army for integration of networking and communications capabilities for MRAP and MATV vehicles.

It seems like wherever you are along the I-5 corridor between British Columbia and Oregon, good beer is near. There are nearly 150 breweries in
It seems like wherever you are along the I-5 corridor between British Columbia and Oregon, good beer is near. There are nearly 150 breweries in Washington alone. While many Pacific Northwest beers can be found on tap at a number of pubs and restaurants in the region, some beers are sold almost exclusively from the brewery, making a brewery road trip all the more important.
Lisa Morrison's Craft Beers of the Pacific Northwest is a beer lover's guide to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Morrison introduces you to off-the-beaten path breweries like Skookum Brewery in Arlington and Terminal Gravity Brewery in Enterprise Oregon, in addition to the stalwarts of Pacific Northwest craft beers like Deschutes Brewery, Pike Brewing, and Pyramid Brewing.
The introduction of the book includes a "Beer 101" section, a great overview of the brewing process. There is also information about the key factors in making great beer, beer styles, and a helpful glossary. The book is divided into three parts for each state/province. Each section includes a number of cities as well as maps for various neighborhoods, so you can take along this book for a walking tour that hits several breweries or pubs.
Morrison offers her favorites for each city or neighborhood in don't-miss lists of brews to look out for at each brewery. She also includes interesting facts and insider tips throughout the book. I was excited to read that Brouwer's Café replaces tap lines when they need to be cleaned to insure no off flavors alter the taste of the beer. Sidebars in each chapter introduce readers to some of the region's beer pioneers, beer festivals, and brewing techniques, like steam beer and dry-hopping.
Lisa M. Morrison will be in Seattle to promote Craft Beers of the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday, May 17th at The Pike Brewing Company from 5-8 p.m. Her visit coincides with American Craft Beer Week (which incidentally overlaps with Seattle Beer Week).
Check back tomorrow for Part II of this week's Cooking the Books and tips on local breweries to visit.

NASCAR action this weekend at All American Speedway
By: Staff Report
This Saturday night, July 18, The All American Speedway in Roseville plays host to NASCAR Championship Week No. 12. All four of the premiere divisions will be in action competing for extremely valuable points as the second half of the season rolls on. With seven weeks remaining, we begin to see who the serious contenders will be. Cameron Park's Jason Romero (No. 8) is the top dog in the Late Model Division. Fresh off two wins in one night last week, he'll be back this week as the man to beat. Romero is 11th in the country and No. 2 in the state. So far this season, all he's done is turn in six wins, 11 top fives, and 15 top 10s. Romero's lead is 59 points over Granite Bay's John Moore (No. 27), 75 over Galt's Juan Pitta (No. 16), 80 over Sacramento's Jonathan Mawhinney (No. 17), and 94 over Orangevale's Gary Glenn (No. 50). This Saturday night, the Late Models will compete in the Toyota TRD 100. A much different strategy is used in a 100 Lap race than Twin 44's or 50's. Patience is a virtue in the first 50. After that, all bets are off and the heat is on. In the Street Stock Division, you couldn't ask for a more interesting battle. Your leader in the points chase is Sacramento's Kevin Owens (No. 21). Just 12 points back is his brother Mickey Owens (No. 08). Mickey is the defending '08 AAS Street Stock Champ. Loomis' Christopher Lambert (No. 50) has his eyes on the prize as well. However, a DNF last week has him in a tie for third in the points with Orangevale's Casey Cavender, just 27 points back. Roseville's Jarred Beddow (No. 50) leads all competitors in points in the Modified Division. Beddow turned in a fourth place finish last week and gave up a few points to Lincoln's Nick Lyons (No. 43) his nearest competitor (-27). Hayward's 16-year-old rookie Jessica Brunelli (No. 3) is third, 64 points back. In the Bomber Division, Citrus Heights' Adam Chapman (No. 01) has been getting it done. He has strung together two wins in a row and leads all drivers in points. Roseville's Richard Perez (No. 50) is 11 back in second. Perez had a DQ earlier this season for a weight location infraction. After an appeal, officials granted him a last place finish in that night's racing results and he was awarded two points. Roseville's Mike and Dana Kelly (No. 04), who led the points chase for many weeks, are now third but still within striking distance, 14 points off the lead. Gates will open at 4 p.m. with qualifying shortly thereafter. Racing begins at 6 p.m. Don't miss a minute of this exciting action. Adults ages 16-59 - $13 Seniors (60 or better) - $7 Juniors (6-15) -.$7 Children (under 6) - Free Family Pass - $35.00 (Includes 2 Adults & 3 Juniors) For more info call 786-2025 or visit www.allamericanspeedway.com

On article Richard Franiec creates accessory grip for Sony RX100 (116 comments in total)
In reply to:
Mike C: There was a post about a less expensive grip when the RX100 was announced. It provides another option for those too frugal (for whatever reason) to consider the Franiiec grip. They appear to be very good and come in four types. If I purchase an RX100, I'll purchase the Franeic grip.
This topic puts a whole new spin on the term "Get a grip on it". :-)
I have one of the other grips (Flipbac) on mine right now. The problem for me is that although it is providing a better grip, it is very close to the lens (it has to be mounted on the flat front) and my finger is forced to the botom portion of the grip only. I'll certainly give this new one a try.

Sirius Black I
Revision as of 17:39, April 5, 2013 by Seth Cooper (Talk | contribs)

Sirius Black I (1845 - 1853) was a pure-blood wizard, possibly the eldest son of Cygnus Black and Ella Max, and the elder brother of Phineas Nigellus, Elladora and Isla. Sirius died when he was only eight years old, for unknown reasons.[1]
Sirius is a name of the brightest star in the night sky. In the Black family there were also Sirius Black II (a nephew of Sirius I, son of Phineas Nigellus) and Sirius III, Walburga's and Orion's son. If Cygnus was his father, Arcturus Black I was his uncle.
Behind the scenes
- Sirius was maybe a son of Cygnus Black I and his wife Ella Max, but if this is true, that means Cygnus was 16 years old when he had Sirius. This is possibly a mathematical mistake. If Cygnus was his father, Arcturus Black I was his uncle. His aunt may have been Misapinoa Blishwick (née Black).
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) (Appears on Black family tapestry)
