I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Beth, and I am currently 28w2d pregnant. Baby Keira was diagnosed with ventriculomegaly at 21w, which progressed to severe hydrocephalus a few weeks later. As of last Wednesday, her vents measured 22 and 26 mm; three weeks prior they were 20 and 21 mm. Her head has consistently measured two weeks ahead despite the increase in ventricle size. She also has a eventration (elevation) in her diaphragm, and a couple of questionable brain issues besides the hyrdo, but nothing was noted on the last u/s.
Right now, my doctors 'goal' is a c-section between 12/29 and 1/2 (my 36th week), unless things go downhill before then. Any stories regarding congenital hydro and what happens after delivery would be greatly appreciated. I'm just worried that at the rate that her vents are increasing, that she might need to come even earlier than planned. The only thing that the doctor has mentioned so far regarding going earlier than 36w is head size, but how big would her vents have to need an even earlier delivery???

Facts of the Crime:
Sentenced to death in Alameda County on January 20, 1995 for the October 20, 1987 murder of Jerry Lee Harris, who owned several businesses in the East Bay area. Prosecutors said Bonilla, who owned 40 percent of a Pleasanton night club controlled by Harris, quarreled with the victim over the club's operations and over Bonilla's bid for an interest in other businesses. Harris disappeared in October 1987, a rock hound found his body at a remote Nevada located two months later. His car was later located at the Sacramento airport.

The Taste for Taboo
At the level of mass information, we readily grant ourselves permission to look at such images. Terrible scenes of massacres, bombings, and the like are displayed almost daily. (rotten dot com provides constant updates on such atrocities.) To the degree that we regard them as goads to compassion and involvement (as in Bosnia or the Middle East), showing them is a purported moral good. But it is easy to take this idea of death imagery as important evidence and to expand it into an excuse that legitimizes the sort of voyeurism we have just seen in the Diana case.
That is just what has happened with a number of shocking images involving famous and beloved persons. The view of Robert Kennedy lying in a pool of his own blood has been reproduced regularly for almost 30 years with minimal objection or concern about his family's feelings. It is regarded as a valid news image, but what does it really tell us?
Worse, autopsy photographs of John F. Kennedy have been published in many books, including some that have been best sellers. (If you really want to see the so-called "death stare," click.) The conceit, of course, is that careful scrutiny of these images may reveal something important about JFK's assassination. For that matter, the dreadful Frame 313 of the Zapruder film with its cranial explosion may be one of the most-reproduced images in recent decades.
There is by now a whole gallery of such images, many of them reproduced to illustrate conspiracy narratives. Internet sites featuring Diana pictures frequently link to Diana conspiracy sites. For some, Diana's pictures are also "evidence" of a deeper plot. Even a Marilyn Monroe autopsy picture has been published under the same guise. (Those willing to confront a startlingly changed Marilyn can click.) People find the excuse they need to see a photo. Even the wrong excuse.
It's easy to interpret this as popular depravity, but the matter is not so simple. Autopsy pictures, common enough on the Internet, are not a popular genre; nor are the death photos of just any famous people. Crime-scene photos of Nicole Brown Simpson, notorious as her death was, caused little stir. The death images that have received the greatest attention have something important in common: All of them are of people who have been subject to popular hagiography, people who are the public's most beloved figures. The biggest-selling American tabloid of all time was the National Enquirer issue that published pictures of a dead Elvis. Now we have Diana.
The emotional relationship between grief and photography dates to the very birth of the camera in the Victorian period. Americans of the last century surrounded themselves with photographs of dead family members posed in their coffins, a practice so widespread as to be an important source of income for photographers. Such photos--compiled in Michael Lesy's Wisconsin Death Trip and elsewhere--now appear macabre. (If you want to see one, click.) But we are looking at them with detachment, the emotionally "cool" state that Americans developed after World War I.
American Victorians weren't cool: They subscribed to a veritable cult of grief. "No home ever reaches its highest blessedness and sweetness of love and its richest fullness of joy till sorrow enters its life in some way," wrote one minister quite typically in an 1882 family advice manual.
Their attitude applied to beloved public figures as well as to family members--which is precisely why death photographs of Abraham Lincoln were forbidden in the wake of his murder. Secretary of State Edwin Stanton, apparently concerned that a trade in such images would develop, refused to allow any to be taken. Given the intensity of the Lincoln hysteria, Stanton surely was right.
The proof is that, over the years, several Lincoln "death portraits" surfaced after all. They are, of course, all spurious. One can see four of them in Twenty Days, by Dorothy Meserve Kunhardt and Philip B. Kunhardt Jr. (You can see an enlargement of the two images below by clicking.) These images have various origins, and it is unclear whether they were posed, misrepresented, or innocently misidentified. But the result is the same in any event: At some point, they were accepted as authentic by people who esteemed the dead president, and they were treasured as such.
People find the value they seek in an image. Even the wrong image. That may be a pseudo-Diana in the notorious Internet picture, but there's nothing new about such spurious images and nothing false about the emotions that have led so many people to look at them.

Eyewitness Statement:
The objects separated. Then one went west of the other, as it manoeuvred it changed shape to become body-shaped with projections like arms and legs".
Flight Leiutennant A.M. Wood. - RAF Boulmer,Northumberland.
UFO also correlated on multiple radar and witnessed by two RAF personnel
UK M.O.D. Declassified Report.
THE X-Files came to RAF Boulmer as strange flying objects were spotted hovering over the North Sea by a fighter pilot at the base.
In a case that would intrigue TVs Mulder and Scully, bright objects were spotted by RAF staff in 1977. They changed shape as they watched. So sensitive was the sighting that all records of it were hidden from public gaze and have only just been released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOI).
It was stored in the Ministry of Defences possible extra-terrestrial contact department, known only by the code name SF4. It is one of many sightings listed by the Government where credible witnesses, such as military staff, policemen and airline pilots, have reported UFOs. The drama started in July 1977, when Flight Lieutenant AM Wood reported seeing the objects, saying the nearest was luminous, round and four to five times the size of a Whirlwind helicopter.
The two possible UFOs were seen hovering at a height of around 5,000 feet and were three miles out to sea.His report is backed by those of Corporal Torrington and Sergeant Graham, who say the objects parted, with one going west and changing shape as it went.
The objects, with one then looking body shaped, were watched by the three men for one hour and 40 minutes.A radar station at the base also picked up the objects in the same position before they vanished.Checks were made to RAF West Drayton to see if it had spotted them. Flt Lt Wood is described as reliable and sober in the report, which adds that radar staff at RAF Staxton Wold also picked up the strange objects.
The RAF Boulmer report was deemed so sensitive that instead of being released to the public 25 years later as normal a further three-year ban was imposed.It is only because of the FOI Act, which came into force on January 1, that the case was reviewed and the details declassified.
Radar Confirmation
In his detailed report to MoD, Flt Lt Wood says the objects were close to the shore and stationary, at a height estimated between 4-5,000 feet. They appeared to move apart and then together as they slowly climbed into the clear sky. No imagination was required to distinguish the shape, he wrote. Westerly object [was] conical with apex at top. Object seemed to rotate and change shape to become arrowhead in shape. The easterly object was indistinct. He said the UFO closest to the base was round, luminous, [and] 4 to 5 times larger than a Whirlwind helicopter.
Flt Lt Woods story was supported by Cpl Torrington and Sgt Graham who were on duty at a picket post outside Boulmers underground operations room. They said the westerly UFO moved and changed shape to become body shaped with projections like arms and legs. All were described as reliable and sober in a MoD report. The descriptions, and more significantly, the fact these UFOs were visible for one hour forty minutes make me suspect they may have been bright stars or planets. But in his report Flt Lt Wood says that shortly after disappearing visually, two unidentified contacts were detected on the base radars at a range of between 20 and 30 miles out to sea. These slowly moved northeast as they climbed, then parted, one climbing to 9,000 feet estimated and moving east, the other holding 5-6,000 ft.
While the UFOs were being tracked, he contacted the controller at RAF Patrington, an early warning station on the East Coast. He confirmed the two unidentified blips were visible on the radar picture there, which was relayed directly to RAF West Drayton in Middlesex. But oddly, the Senior Reporting Officer at headquarters was less forthcoming when asked if he could see the UFOs.

I hear a great deal of talk on this topic for infants, but so much on toddlers (13-18 mo). My husband and I (and his mother ) had a huge debate on the topic and I'd like to hear from the "experts."
Do you think picking up your toddler when he cries will spoil him/her?
If so, where did you first hear this? From your parents, grandparents, etc.?

We live in UK in the hills in very rural Devon: two miles of our commute is farm roads, the other thirteen are gritted main road or urban and even in winter, are kept clear. Problem is, our top two miles are very unclear: they can be muddy, snowed-up and as water leaches from the fields on either side, we get a lot of glass ice.
Normally I ride road slicks. That's fine even in winter as long as the roads are gritted, fast and efficient and fun. I have mud-type offroad tyres for the MTB and 'cross tyres for the fixie, which are fine on frosty mud but still spin uselessly on glass ice.
I'm thinking about studs. But I'm told that they're not suited for tarmac, and I've got thirteen miles of tarmac to do with just that two-mile stretch of evil. Would studs be smart or dumb?

Jewish congregation joins celebration honoring British commander
April 29, 2010
FORT BELVOIR, Va. - The Fort Belvoir Jewish Congregation was one of several co-sponsors for a ceremony Sunday marking the life and contributions of the late Maj. Gen. Orde Charles Wingate - a British Army officer and creator of special military units in Palestine during the 1930s and World War II.
Wingate died in a plane crash with several Americans while on a mission in Burma on March 24, 1944. He is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, one of only a few non-Americans to be laid to rest on the hallowed grounds, along with eight others who perished in the crash.
Sponsored annually by the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A. Department of Washington, D.C., this year's ceremony featured several special guests, including Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S.
Speaking in both Hebrew and English, Oren told the audience gathered inside the Women's National Military Memorial that Wingate was a highly religious man who became a supporter of Zionism. He also said it was Wingate's dream to lead the Jewish Army to independence.
"He saw it as his Christian duty to help the Jewish community in Palestine form a Jewish state. He trained members of the Haganah, which eventually became the Israel Defense Forces in 1948," Oren said. "Maj. Gen. Wingate is a revered figure known around the world. In Jerusalem, there are main squares and villages named after him. Israel's National Center of Physical Education and Sport, as well as a major children's orphanage, also bear his name. His legacy and what he stood for will carry on forever."
Oren was followed by Nicholas Kittrie, a professor of criminal law at Washington, D.C.'s American University. As a young man, Kittrie studied Wingate while attending school in Palestine. His dreams of meeting the man face-to-face also came true when he served with the British officer in Burma just before he died.
"I found him to be very intriguing. Not only was Wingate a great hero to British and Jewish people, but a deeply religious man," Kittrie said. "He carried a small, leather copy of the Bible wherever he went. Not many people know this, but he's also a distant cousin of Lawrence of Arabia. His death was a loss to the entire world."
Among all his accomplishments, Kittrie said Wingate is most heralded for his creation of the Chindits, a group of airborne-deep penetration troops trained to work behind enemy lines in the Far East campaigns against the Japanese during World War II.
To this day, Kittrie said many of the present counter-intelligence operations related to guerilla warfare were first initiated by Wingate. As a tribute to the man he refers to as his "personal icon," Kittrie named his oldest son, Orde, in his memory.
Though brief, retired British general John Alison also had a personal connection with Wingate. Now 98, Alison was Wingate's pilot in Burma and flew him on almost all his missions. All - except the very last one.
"I received orders telling me that I was going back to England. If not for that, I most likely would have been on that plane. We never found out what brought them down," Alison said with his voice cracking. "My knowledge of Wingate is somewhat limited because I only knew him for two months. Though, I knew he was a man who inspired others to follow him."
Alison said Wingate was also a man of eccentricities. For example, he said Wingate would wear an alarm clock around his wrist and have a raw onion on a string around his neck. While the British commander deserves the praise and recognition he receives today, Alison jokes that Wingate's personality was far more popular with American and Israeli soldiers than it was with British soldiers.
However, he agreed with Kittrie that his death was a loss felt by many countries around the globe.
"A cold chill went over my body when I heard the news of the plane crash," Alison said. "That was the day the British lost our champion. And the day the world lost a great man."
Representatives of different faiths also participated in the ceremony and offered prayers, including Rabbi Marvin Bash of the Pentagon and Chaplain (Col.) Kenneth Sampson of Belvoir's Army Materiel Command.

I'm a specialist Equine Photographer with a genuine love of working with horses. Based in West Sussex, I do, of course, take commissions from all over the UK.
Equine photography is my passion; I create beautiful timeless portraits of your horse in an original way using many years of photographic skill learnt on unforgiving film emulsions, long before the invention of digital photography and Photoshop. My horse portrait images have been compared to old paintings with their majesty and formal poses whilst still retaining the personality of the Equus Genus.
My early fascination with light and its interaction with subjects has led me down a path of using controlled daylight and crafted studio lighting techniques to achieve images that are powerful yet calming and that convey the grace and humility provided to us by our horses. My equine studio images can be seen here, these are all shot on location with my fully portable studio.
"Beauty and drama with powerful serenity"
Horse photography is a specialist art form, requiring inexhaustible patience and dedication to understanding the equine form. This is reflected by there being only a handful of equine photographers in the UK, specialising solely in this difficult field.
As a horse owner and having owned horses myself for many years, I'm consequently very comfortable in their presence and I feel that this natural harmony is conveyed in my style of photography.
If you like, you can read a little bit more about me here.
I also cover many Polo matches throughout the UK season, I'm the official photographer for the King Power Polo Team, you can see a selection of my Polo work on my other website HERE.
So, if you'd like to book me for a photo shoot or just to have a chat about your ideas, I'll always be pleased to hear from you. You can contact me either using the form, email or phone. Contact Me
I look forward to hearing from you.
Equine Photographer specialising in Equine portraits and Polo photography in Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Hampshire.

Eng. 16, No. 4, 1041-1047 (2006). Summary: As a special case of generalized synchronization, chaos anti-synchronization can be characterized by the vanishing of the sum of relevant variables. In this paper, based on Lyapunov stability theorem for ordinary differential equations, several sufficient conditions for guaranteeing the existence of anti-synchronization in a class of coupled identical chaotic systems via linear feedback or adaptive linear feedback methods are derived. Chua's circuit is presented as an example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach by computer simulations.

Educating Journalists
By maintaining close relations between journalism and liberal
arts, the [journalism] faculty hopes that the students will not
only come to see how much the exercise of their technique
depends on content but will habitually employ their human-
istic knowledge in their journalistic exercises.
-- Professor David P. Host ( 1966)
Journalism has been taught at a number of colleges and universities for about 100 years. Willard G. Bleyer began teaching a journalism course at the University of Wisconsin in 1905, and his scholarly interests later greatly influenced the field. The country's first separate School of Journalism, with newspaperman Walter Williams as dean, began in 1908 at the University of Missouri. The Pulitzer School of Journalism at Columbia University, backed with a $2 million gift from the New York World publisher, enrolled its first class in 1912.
There was a widespread belief that the nation's newspapers could be improved and elevated if the journalists were better educated as well as more ethical and public-spirited. Some impetus for journalism education certainly came from public revulsion toward the sensationalism and excesses of yellow journalism, which was so prominent at the time.
The growth of journalism education has been steady and at times explosive, especially since broadening its curriculum to include radio and television, advertising, PR, plus communication theory and processes. As such, the field has paralleled and mirrored the growth of mass communication in general.
In 1995, total enrollment in education for journalism and mass communication stabilized at 141,167 students in programs at 427 colleges and universities ( Kosicki & Becker, 1996).

Guess who's coming to dinner? Not these rats if you use our rodent-proof storage tips.
We all want peaceful coexistence with mice.
We also want them to stay outdoors, not in our pantries and garages. Two good reasons for that:
1. We want our seeds left just the way we stored them—not gnawed on.
2. Mice, cute as they can look, are also vectors for some pretty nasty diseases like Hantavirus and bubonic plague (plague isn't just in Monty Python skits, it's still around). Rats aren't widely considered cute (unless you had pet rats in your childhood) so it's easier to think of them—and all wild rodents, including squirrels and chipmunks—as potential disease vectors. Squirrels in the Los Angeles area were recently identified as bubonic plague vectors.
In our new video Tricia shows how she keeps mice and rats from getting into her house or stripping the produce from her garden.
One of the first strategies in Integrated Pest Management is prevention.
For prevention you can use mechanical barriers, or the stinky ready-to-spray Ro-pel, to turn rodents away. Spray Ro-pel on the wood of your raised beds as a rodent deterrent.
Rodents have strong teeth but metal and glass mechanical barriers typically stop them. Store your seed packs securely in metal seed tins.
There's a sad story here at Peaceful Valley about a family that stored seed packs in a basket in the garage for many years with no trouble—and then one winter the mice devastated the seed collection. What had happened? The family cat had died and was no longer standing guard over the basket.
For storage with greater capacity use our Le Parfait glass jars with rubber gaskets.
Tricia gives more details on storing seeds (and suggests a refrigerator as the ultimate storage container) in another video of ours.
Compost heaps can attract rodents too.
A compost pile is not meant to be a neighborhood gathering spot for rodents. Foil rodents by composting in our ventilated 10 gallon Locking Galvanized Steel Can. Turn the compost in a closed container often with an aerator or fork to maximize oxygen as the wastes break down.
For more information about rodent control, see our range of products from barriers to fatal solutions. How far you want to go in controlling rodents is up to you.

My rodent control happens to be my two organic cats!
Wendy Silberbauer Says:
Sep 7th, 2013 at 11:23 pm
We have field mice, voles & pocket gophers. The dogs & chickens catch some, but not enough. We have an acre, and in some areas, the ground sinks under our feet if it gets wet due to the number of intersecting tunnels.

Karen, Yes, the natural predator solution can work very well! Glad your cats are organic

Stephanie Brown Says:
Dec 20th, 2013 at 9:57 am
Patti, the fastest way to move out the mouse is to cut off their food supply, and seal up any entry points they might be using to get into the house.
Fran Ransley Says:
Nov 5th, 2014 at 7:07 pm
I have a problem similar to Wendy's. The mice do not get in the house, nor do I ever see them out in the open where owls and snakes (in the warm months) can get them. The problem is in the chicken houses, hay barn and garage where the predators can't get in. The old cat that was a good hunter died last year. My dogs liked her, but they have run off the neighbors' cats when they try to hunt around the property. I could place the Agrid cholicalciferol (sp?) bait inside the chicken coops in large wire cages where the mice would be able to reach it but the chickens (and the dogs) can't. Is it possible to buy it in smaller amounts than the 4# bucket?
Suzanne at Peaceful Valley Says:
Nov 7th, 2014 at 12:40 pm
We do not sell the Agrid in smaller amounts. Have you considered traps? We sell these awesome traps, the Jawz, for mice and large rats or voles. Here in our nursery we have terrible vole problem (they are like mice on steroids). We have used these traps and have successfully gotten rid of our problem. You don't have to use poison and the traps don't need bait and are easy to set. Check our website, I have posted a picture of our successful catch.
A new cat also seems in order too!

RI Supreme Court Presides Over Championship Round of the Clark Moot Court Competition
One of the highlights of fall semesters at RWU Law is the annual visit of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. The Court comes to campus to preside over the final round of our flagship internal Moot Court Competition, named after a deeply respected member of our faculty, the late Esther Clark. The case involved a sweeping youth curfew in a hypothetical town, which was challenged on the grounds that it violated both substantive due process (the right to travel) and the equal protection clause (unduly burdening a suspect class—minors).
Immigration Law Clinic Notches First Victory in a Liberian Asylum Case
Our fledgling Immigration Law Clinic has hit the ground running, winning the freedom of a 27-year old Liberian college student who suffered the horrors of the Liberian civil wars, who came to the U.S. as a refugee, then became a permanent resident. The Department of Homeland Security sought to deport him because of two offenses in RI for which he received no jail time (a receipt of stolen property and assault). He had spent 10 months in jail before the RWUSOL Immigration Clinic got involved in his case.
In addition to the opportunity to network at the 6th Annual Legal Career Options Day sponsored by the Office of Career Services, check out publications in the Law Library's Career Collection for tips on improving your networking skills. The Career Collection is located adjacent to the Library Print Center. The publications can be checked out for three weeks. Some publications are:

Well, I'm guilty of it too. I figure there's no better way to get starting that
Grads Get High Marks on RI Bar Exam
The results from the July bar exam in our home state have come in, and the news is very good. RWU grads beat the pass rate of all takers (RWU grads:83%; all takers:82%) and tied the rate for first-time takers (85%). Especially impressive is the rate racked up by the folks who graduated in May: 87%!

USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAT), ("USAT"), a leader of wireless, cashless payment and M2M telemetry solutions for small-ticket, self-serve retailing industries, today highlighted customer, Peninsula Vending Services ("Peninsula"), a full-service micro-market, office coffee and vending operator located in Hampton Roads, Virginia, for its use of USAT's cashless payment and telemetry capabilities to better serve customers during this year's challenging winter season. In addition, Peninsula has indicated that it is targeting cashless adoption for 100 percent of its locations by April, 2014.
Jason Banwart, President of Peninsula, stated that USAT's cashless ePort® and ePort Connect® service have been transformational for his business.
"Cashless payment and telemetry each provide benefits and together, provide an even stronger business experience for Peninsula and our customers," stated Banwart. "For example, the web-based remote monitoring and sales reporting offered as part of ePort Connect and USAT's seamless integration with vending management system provider, VendSys, for more detailed logistical information, recently helped us serve a number of customers--healthcare, manufacturing and educational facilities--that were impacted by the wave of snow and ice storms in our area. Daily reports on our machines via email allowed our team to stay in motion; and, by studying sales activity, we were able to flag issues, prioritize and react to ensure that these customers were well-stocked. I can't imagine operating in a world where a business didn't have this type of valuable information.
"Beyond the clear benefits of telemetry, we have always viewed cashless through the eyes of the consumer. A large number of our customers don't carry cash like they did in the past," continued Banwart. "Cashless ensures that we're addressing this important set of consumers. And, the added convenience factor drives consumer satisfaction, which for Peninsula, has been an enormous factor in retaining accounts and winning new business. We value our relationship with USAT and look forward to growing with them as Peninsula expands its business in Hampton Roads, Greater Richmond and surrounding areas."
Stephen P. Herbert, USAT's chairman and chief executive officer, added, "Peninsula's commitment to cashless and its smart use of the USAT ePort Connect platform is a wonderful example of what we believe is an expanding segment of our customer base, small to medium size businesses, that is becoming increasingly aware of cashless payment and its many benefits. In our view, customers like Peninsula are ahead of the adoption curve and we welcome their leadership and vision as USAT continues to drive adoption in the self-serve retail market."
For more information about USAT cashless payment and telemetry offerings, contact USAT sales at 1-800-633-0340.

In 2006, Martin Fowler posted his now famous essay on Continuous Integration. Looking back, what seemed revolutionary, radical or just plain crazy is now common, pedestrian and "just what you do." I love it. Back then, building and releasing software was a real pain. Integration was something you did at the end, after code complete, and we didn't know how long it would take. Some people may recall how we, as an industry, spent a massive amount of time integrating code from one team with another...

In 2013, we were solidly in the monolithic application era. I had noticed that a growing amount of effort was going into deploying and configuring applications. As applications had grown in complexity and interdependency over the years, the effort to install and configure them was becoming significant. But the road did not end with a ...

Digital means customer preferences and behavior are driving enterprise technology decisions to be sure, but let's not forget our employees. After all, when we say customer, we mean customer writ large, including partners, supply chain participants, and yes, those salaried denizens whose daily labor forms the cornerstone of the enterprise. While your customers bask in the warm rays of your digital efforts, are your employees toiling away in the dark recesses of your enterprise, pecking data into...

Call it DevOps or not, if you are concerned about releasing more code faster and at a higher quality, the resulting software delivery chain and process will look and smell like DevOps. But for existing development teams, no matter what the velocity objective is, getting from here to there is not something that can be done without a plan. Moving your release cadence from months to weeks is not just about learning Agile practices and getting some automation tools. It involves people, tooling and ...

The notion of customer journeys, of course, are central to the digital marketer's playbook. Clearly, enterprises should focus their digital efforts on such journeys, as they represent customer interactions over time. But making customer journeys the centerpiece of the enterprise architecture, however, leaves more questions than answers. The challenge arises when EAs consider the context of the customer journey in the overall architecture as well as the architectural elements that make up each...

Much of the discussion around cloud DevOps focuses on the speed with which companies need to get new code into production. This focus is important – because in an increasingly digital marketplace, new code enables new value propositions. New code is also often essential for maintaining competitive parity with market innovators. But new code doesn't just have to deliver the functionality the business requires. It also has to behave well because the behavior of code in the cloud affects performan...

ALBANY, Ga. (AP) -- Two Darton State College wrestlers remain hospitalized in Albany and a third has been discharged after school officials say they experienced heat illness during practices this week.
WALB-TV in Albany reports (http://bit.ly/17FMQIF ) wrestling practices have been canceled for the rest of the week. One wrestler was taken to the hospital Tuesday after collapsing during a five-mile team run. Two other wrestlers were hospitalized Wednesday.
WALKB-TV says one those wrestlers remains hospitalized in critical condition.
Darton State Athletic Director Mike Keifer tells WALB-TV that the "health and safety of our student athletes is a priority" and the school has protocols in place for dealing with heat illness.
WALB-TV says Darton State College President Peter Sireno visited Friday with the two wrestlers who remain in the hospital and their families.

Guess what? Hold the back pages! Arsenal want an attacking midfielder!
Despite having enough of them to offer one to most of the clubs in The Premier League, latest reports suggest that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is keen on yet another.
The Daily Mail reports that Arsenal are tracking an £8m rated wunderkind:
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is tracking Wolfsburg prodigy Maximilian Arnold.
The Gunners have developed their scouting network in Germany and have spotted the attacking midfielder. Arsenal already have five German players in their first team.
Arnold, 19, is under contract until 2015, but has a buy-out clause of around £8million.
The kid looks quality – he's scored 8 goals in just 19 senior appearances for the club and has also represented Germany at every youth level.
The idea that Arsenal want to buy yet another attacking midfielder doesn't, of course, preclude the purchase of players for other positions. But it seems glaringly obvious that it's other areas of the team which need much more urgent attention.
If we were pulling the strings at Arsenal we would be prioritising
– a match winner of a striker who can make the difference in the tightest of games.
– a brute of a centre back as wide as he is tall – someone like Micah Richards (if available).
– a rugged midfielder in the Yaya Toure mould. Easier said than done but this should at least be the idea.
Arsenal fans, do you need more creative midfielders or should the summer be the time to strengthen the spine?

eh, well my pov on this was... dA is full of intermediate and beginner tuts, one just literally needs to use search option >_< as for something utter mindblowing, just few strips o_O
oh so everyone comes to dA after they've reached a certain level? Well that would be news to me. (You do realize that that makes you sound quite arrogant, don't you?)
If you already know about those techniques, maybe check out the older installments of the series. I try to mix things up. Or maybe actually read the tutorials (not just the abstracts), often they include some tips and tricks that are not obvious at first glance.

Last night was my friend from hs's wedding. We got invited pretty late so we kinda guessed on a lot of things. We guessed right, their website said it was a black and white wedding. So everyone at the wedding was to wear black or white and the grooms wore grey (black and white combined) such a cool idea! Especially from a photography standpoint. There would be no weird colors popping out in photos. Turned out I was the only person from hs he invited so we didn't really know anyone. We ended up sitting with a family of 8 at the reception lol Super fun and awkward. Nonetheless super honor they had us come. I don't think I have ever cried at a wedding. But my friend Josh is such a precious person. I am so happy he found somone as amazing as he is. Their ceremony was so beautiful, both their sets of parents walked them down the isle. I am so happy for both of them to have such supportive families in their lives. I was watching his mom and dad, they were just beeming all night with such happiness about the wedding. When I had hardly any friends in high school, he was one of the only ones. We were both heavy and unpopular. Me way more than him, Josh has always had a personality that no one could resist He lost a lot of weight a few years before I did. He does crossfit 5 days a week now. He looks so good!
Day 113: Tim and Josh's Wedding. Josh is on the right.
Going a bit backwards in my photos
Day 112: Saying goodbye to work after 3 years, Friday was my actual official last day. It was kinda of a relief. I feel so angry all the time at that job. No one ever pulling the same amount of weight. Dealing with coworkers who are watching tv, texting, or on facebook the whole time at work. I guess I like structure too much and coworkers who care. Goodbye Twinkie (twinkie never watched tv, texted or was on facebook, he was a good coworker)
Day 111: Another recipe from my book. Curried Cauliflower & Chickpea Soup, with Cranberry Chutney and cilantro. Served with Baguette, I forgot to buy naan bread.
Other things that happened since my last blog. I went on my 3rd ride of silence this week. So touching as usual. Besides the drunk college kids yelling from apartment windows, too stupid to shut up. We ride down main street and it ends around campus escorted by cops. It's like a 2 mile ride all done in silence to honor those injured or killed in bike accidents each year.

Tim and Josh look so handsome and so happy. I hope they always will stay that way. It is so hard to live an alternative lifestyle in our redneck society. Thank goodness things are changing. It gives me hope. It's young people like you and Josh who have helped advanced the cause - where people who love each other can live together and be happy and accepted.
Twinkie was cute. It's a shame you couldn't take him with you. I look at his face and it says, "SAVE ME!" LOL.
My son gets so negative sometimes. I showed him your page today and your pictures. He was really impressed. You look amazing!!
