FCC Statement on Lifeline Abuse and Fraud
Over the past 25 years, Lifeline has helped tens of millions of low-income Americans afford basic phone service, keeping them connected to jobs, family, and opportunities. However, as the program evolved in 2005 to include increasingly popular and useful low-cost wireless service offerings, its rules to protect against waste, fraud and abuse failed to keep pace. Any kind of waste in this important program is unacceptable. That's why the FCC has completely overhauled Lifeline. Earlier this year, the FCC adopted comprehensive reform projected to save $2 billion over three years. Changes and initiatives include:
- Establishing a rule limiting Lifeline subscriptions to one per household
- Reviewing over 7 million subscriber records and identifying over 700,000 duplicates since last year.
- Will be reviewing subscriber records for duplicates in Georgia later this year
- Developing a national subscriber database to prevent future duplicate subscriptions, to be available in early 2013
- Requiring new subscribers to document their eligibility for the program and provide a valid residential address at sign up. Carriers and states must inquire whether the subscriber's address is permanent or temporary and must collect a billing address if different from the subscriber's residential address.
- Any Lifeline subscriber who provides false or fraudulent information to receive Lifeline benefits is punishable by law.
- Establishment of uniform, nationwide, verifiable eligibility standards to eliminate enrollment of ineligible subscribers
- Requiring subscribers to recertify eligibility annually
- Requiring many carriers – mostly wireless resellers detailing how they will comply with new rules. Until their compliance plans are approved, these companies will receive no Lifeline support in new markets
- Eliminating unnecessary subsidies for initial connections, known as LinkUp.
- Ongoing investigations into potential Lifeline fraud by the FCC's Enforcement Bureau
We will not allow a few bad actors to destroy a program that has provided a lifeline to emergency 911 calling, family, and jobs for so many low-income Americans.
ATLANTA -- A federal program that gives free phones to poor Georgians is being abused and the government is cracking down. An 11Alive viewer was concerned about fraud and sent the Waste Watchers team an e-mail about it.
A doctor who works in a medical office in Atlanta said someone wanted to use his address to have a free federal cell phones delivered, in order to bypass the rules. He said the person even bragged about getting five free cell phones when people are only allowed to have one. The tipster wants to know what's being done about it.
"There are about a dozen providers that the Commission has approved to offer this service in Georgia" said Georgia Public Service Commission spokesman Bill Edge.
Wireless phone providers like Nexus, T-Mobile and Assurance/Virgin Mobile offer low-income people free phones, 250 free minutes and 250 free text messages.
You're paying for it on your phone bill. It's called the Universal Service Charge.
Last year, the Federal Communications Commission paid $1.75 billion to telecommunication companies to provide landline and cell service to poor families. It's called the Lifeline Program. An estimated 1.8 million Georgians are eligible.
The subsidy is only supposed to cover one landline or cell phone per household, but the FCC has discovered widespread abuse and is now cracking down.
"They've instituted some new requirements aimed at reducing the fraud and abuse," Edge said.
The requirements include scouring subscriber rolls to eliminate duplicate subscribers and eliminating unnecessary connection fees that were lining telecommunication companies' pockets.
In a recent statement, the FCC says it's on track to save $200 million this year by cracking down on abuse and eliminating duplicate and unused accounts that make cell companies richer.
Georgia's Public Service Commission regulates the providers to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to do.
"If a person doesn't use his service for 60 days, they have to drop those subscribers from the service," Edge said.
If you see fraud and abuse and know someone who's getting more than one free cell phone, tell us about. You can send us an email to email@example.com. You should also report it to the FCC. The number is 1-888-225-5322.

Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Jarred DuBois scored 18 points as the
Utah Runnin' Utes posted a 76-55 win over the Boise State Broncos in non-
conference action at the Huntsman Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Runnin' Utes (6-2) were Jason Washburn
and Jordan Loveridge with 13 and 11 points, respectively, as the squad won for
the second time in as many games.
The Broncos (6-2) were paced by Derrick Marks with 18 points, followed by
Mikey Thompson with 16 points on a mere 5-of-15 shooting from the floor off
the bench as the team had a three-game win streak snapped.
Utah shot a staggering 15-of-20 from the floor in the first half, including 5-
of-8 beyond the arc, as the hosts moved out to a 41-25 lead at the break.
In the second half the Utes again had the hot hand with 60 percent accuracy
from the field in order to wrap up the 21-point win rather easily.
Utah turned the ball over 17 times and captured just three offensive rebounds,
but still won the battle of the boards by a 31-18 margin.
The Utes also used this outing to honor former head coach Rick Majerus who
passed away over the weekend. Majerus, who most recently coached the Saint
Louis Billikens before taking leave due to a heart condition, led the Utes
from 1989-2004, taking them to the NCAA championship game in 1998.

Store Profile
- Location: San Francisco, CA
- Specialty: Unique housewares, home and personal accessories from around the globe.
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range
- Website: whistlesf.com
Store History
- Founded: 2013
- Founded by: Katie Gaertner
- Headquarters: San Francisco, CA
After much travel to many areas around the globe to attend gift/trade shows, I came to realize that many of my favorite shops' buyers all travel to the same shows and more and more I was seeing many of the same product lines in every shop I frequented. For many people, frequent travel or travel in general is not an option, and why not bring them the wonderful products and designs I saw during my travels that they would not otherwise find or see? I also noticed that American boutiques do not have the play and generous use of color that shops in other countries do. Tying these factors together, I curated a mix of fun and unique products (ceramics, jewelry, scarves, candles, home and personal accessories and gifts) that are not found at any other shops. By networking with friends who travel, contacting artisans and designers I had met over my years of traveling, and leveraging recommendations of both friends and business acquaintances, I was able to put together an assortment that is really fresh - and much different than what you see everywhere else.
The old adage say that "good things come in small packages." In the case of Sunset District newcomer Whistle, those words are an apt description of the shop itself. With goods handpicked from around the world, shop owner Katie puts her experience gained from years of working behind the scenes for retail giants to work on a much smaller, more personal scale.
Name: Whistle
Launch date: Feb 2013
Inspiration for opening: I created Whistle to showcase unique finds from around the globe. Drawing on my experience as a veteran buyer and merchandiser for several of the Bay Area's premier retail establishments, I wanted Whistle's assortment to reflect some of the best in design and handcrafted products from around the world. The shop is an infusion of color and whimsy, containing home and lifestyle products you're not likely to encounter anywhere else.
Merchandise source: Indie designers, artisans and artisan groups from around the globe.
Best selling item: Shopping List Magnet Set from Harrington and Squires in UK.
Your favorite item: Segno Colore Pitcher from P.O.T in Italy.

When you have panic attacks, you have to deal with a lot of things. There are a lot of physical sensations – hyperventilation, chest constriction, dizziness. There are also heightened emotions like inexplicable fear and worries.
There are several panic attack treatments available. Most people usually start with the general and simplest ones. Learn the natural technique to stop panic attacks.. This includes basic things like making fundamentally sound lifestyle-changes. Eating nutritious and well-balanced meals may be a good way to start. Making sure that you exercise regularly is another important step. Relaxation techniques like yoga, Pilates, and meditation help you tone your body, increase your flexibility AND relax your mind and calm your spirit – which is very important to keeping panic-attacks at bay.
There are also medical treatments available. Some come in the form of drugs the likes of benzodiazepines and antidepressants. These are prescribed drugs, only to be used if your physician thinks that they may do you good. They are best taken in combination with some other measures to treat panic.
Many professionals who deal with anxiety disorders say that drugs help only up to a certain degree. And they carry with them the risk of adverse side effects. Advancements in the field of psychological and psychiatric research have resulted in therapies which focus on getting at the root of the problem. Cognitive-behavioural therapy and exposure-therapy are some of the therapies that are conducted under the supervision of people trained in this profession.
Cognitive-behavioural therapy, by and large, is considered one of the more valuable techniques to deal with problems like panic attacks and agoraphobia. The technique is rooted on understanding the specific thinking-patterns and behaviours associated with the attacks.
The reason for this approach is to show the cause of your panic in its true colors. Panic attacks are usually caused by over-blown perceptions. A patient fails to see a problem the way it truly is. He usually assigns more difficult angles to what is, in reality, a simple matter. His emotions tend to get the best of him. Cognitive/behavioural therapy helps you assess a problematic situation as it truly is and divests it of any additional unrealistic terrifying perceptions.
Another panic attack treatment is called exposure therapy. Here, you are made to feel and confront the physical feelings involved in a panic attack and teaches you ways to cope with the feelings. For example, you will be made to hyper-ventilate, to refrain from breathing as long as you can, or to move your head from side-to-side. These physical movements are the very movements you usually go through when you are in a panic. You are made to feel the exact same feelings that usually accompany a real panic attack. The only difference is that you know that this is a make-believe situation. You know that you are feeling these sensations while in a safe and controlled setting. As you go through the physical sensations, you will slowly get used to the sensations and find them not that scary at all. This will equip you with the ability to cope or manage the sensations the next time you go through a real panic attack.
A psychologist, psychiatrist, or counsellor, will usually try to get to the bottom of your condition, before discussing with you what panic attacks treatment is best-suited for your situation. You have to discover what it is exactly that is causing your anxieties or panic. This will put you in a position of strength and understanding, better-able to resolve whatever problem has to be addressed. This will provide direction to your efforts to gain control of your tendency to give in to panic at the slightest, or even in the absence of, provocation.

The pancreas is an important structure in your abdomen that makes enzymes. One type of enzyme helps aid in food digestion. Another type helps regulate sugar levels in the blood.
This is surgery to remove the pancreas. In this procedure, all or part of the pancreas can be removed. In some cases, other nearby structures may also be removed, such as:
This procedure is most often done to treat
pancreatic cancer.
If you are planning to have a pancreatectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, such as:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
The pancreas produces many necessary digestive enzymes and helps regulate blood sugar. When part of the pancreas is removed, long-term complications may result, such as:
Discuss these risks with your doctor before surgery.
You may need to have
radiation therapy
to reduce the size of a tumor before surgery.
Leading up to the procedure, your doctor may do the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
You should arrange for a ride to and from the hospital.
General anesthesia
will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV.
The doctor will make an incision in the abdomen. The affected part of the pancreas, as well as other affected areas, will be removed. The doctor will close the incision with stitches or staples.
Tubes may be placed that come out of the abdomen. A tube will drain fluid from the surgery site. Another tube may run from the intestines and out of the abdomen to give you nutrition.
If only a part of the pancreas needs to be removed, your doctor may do the surgery laparoscopically. Small incisions will be made and a camera will be inserted. This will help the doctor see inside the abdomen to remove the affected part of the pancreas.
You will be taken to the recovery room. While you are there, your breathing tube may be removed.
The surgery can take 4-8 hours, depending on what part or how much of the pancreas is removed.
Pain or soreness during recovery will be managed with pain medicine.
You may need to stay in the hospital from five days to three weeks. This depends on the extent of your surgery. If you have any problems, you will need to stay longer.
At the hospital, the staff will:
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

We took our classic brownie recipe and made it over. We reduced the fat by replacing the whole eggs with egg whites, decreased the amount of nuts and used a combination of applesauce and oil to replace the butter. These changes will save you 40 calories and 5g of fat, including 3g of saturated fat, per serving.
Prepare using 6 egg whites.
Use a fine-mesh strainer to sift 1 to 2 tsp. powdered sugar over the cooled brownies.
Since this sweet treat is made with better-for-you ingredients and has 160 calories per serving, it can fit into a healthful eating plan.

I read some of the reviews before trying this recipe, and decided to make it following the recipe instead of substituting a sweetened chocolate. All I can say is I ended up throwing them out. They were really bland. Also, I used 6 egg whites for a "fudgier brownie" and they turned out cake-like. Dry, bland brownies aren't my thing, so I won't be making this recipe again.

Coliseum plans move forward
(Page 2 of 4)
In a press release, Mangano said that public-private partnerships are essential to rejuvenating Nassau's economy. "The RFP we will offer the real estate community reflects that this administration believes that business needs to be engaged in as many county public–private partnerships as appropriate if we expect to create new jobs, generate new investment and rebuild our tax base so that we can take the burden of government off the individual homeowner," Mangano said. "It is crucial that we let the private sector do what it does best while letting government provide the essential services where it has demonstrated core competence."
A smaller Coliseum
Mangano revealed his plan for a scaled-down arena during his State of the County address on March 13. "Through a public-private partnership, my vision includes a downsized, privately funded arena that continues sports and family entertainment while also freeing up excess parking acreage so that a Rockefeller Center-type destination can be built," he said.
The plan, Mangano added, calls for Nassau County to share in a percentage of gross revenue to be used to pay down "years of accumulated assessment debt."
Bidders have 30 days to file responses to the county, and Mangano said that a selection would be made sometime in April.
According to Brian Nevin, a spokesman for Mangano, the selected developer will lease the Coliseum and necessary parking areas from the county, and will complete all of the renovations of the arena. The county will continue to own the 77-acre site, and intends to lease only the portions necessary for the operation of the Coliseum.
Nevin went on to say that the developer would be responsible for booking as many events as possible. He added that while acquiring a professional sports team is not required by the RFP, "any proposal that includes such a team will be looked upon favorably.
"Having a professional major or minor league team as an anchor tenant committing to play its home games at the arena," Nevin continued, "provides a definitive set of arena events on which the county and selected proposer can rely."

text: In the past twenty-four months, thousands of families in Greater Kansas City have been evicted from their homes and apartments. Some got caught up in the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Others fell behind in their mortgage or rent payments after suddenly losing a job. But what has happened to them since? Where did they go?

OK, don't ask me how (lack of attention, I suppose), but I deleted some email from my yahoo account that I desperately want back. Unfortunately, by the time I realized it today, I found it gone from yahoo's trash. I've never archived the email using Zimbra's functions. And I don't know how Zimbra handles the syncing.
So, basically, the question is this: is there any way I can load Zimbra and recover the email from that account? I did read the doc about the offline symbol but how much time do I have after starting Zimbra to turn online into offline? (wouldn't it be better to ask me before zimbra starts activating?)
OH, most important: can you tell me where Zimbra stores the email for offline reading, so I can backup those directories before I run Zimbra and possibly screw things up for good?

Tallahassee, Florida - Florida school districts will press state lawmakers for an increase in school security funding in the upcoming legislative session as a result of the Newtown tragedy.
The massacre has already prompted security changes in many Florida schools and you can expect more in the coming year as the issue of school security heads to the Legislature.
Florida is spending about $17 billion on K-12 education this year. About $70 million is set aside for school security measures. That cash mainly pays for school resource officers in middle and high schools.
Now there's a push to place more police officers in elementary schools. Hillsborough County is one of several districts across the state working with local law enforcement to put armed officers in grade schools right now.
The Florida School Boards Association will push for an increase in funding for school security in the upcoming legislative session. Executive Director Wayne Blanton says the expanded security measures would cost more than $100 million.
"Some of the districts have put uniformed officers already in elementary schools and that costs a lot of money. But the safety of our students is the number one priority of our public schools and we're going to do everything we can to make sure our schools are even safer than they are now. I will tell you, it's going to be expensive. It would be in excess of $100 million."
Blanton says that money would pay for more school resource officers and building improvements. Infrastructure upgrades might include new locks for classrooms. Blanton says teachers in some Florida schools are unable to lock their classrooms from the inside, which he says makes no sense in a situation similar to Newtown.
"We're looking at how schools are constructed and looking at some other safety features. Some of the teachers have told us they cannot lock their doors from the inside. Maybe that's something we need to look at. Maybe we need a different type of glass. Maybe we need panic buttons in classrooms. There are a lot of things that we can do right now that cost very little to help our safety measures out there in our public schools."
Several school districts are considering asking voters to approve sales tax hikes to pay for school security improvements. Blanton downplays that idea, saying districts should first work to get the Legislature to increase funding for the Safe Schools program.
Blanton also opposes the idea of allowing teachers to carry guns at school to defend themselves and students.
"Teachers serve as role models and one of our concerns is if the role model is walking around with a weapon, what is to say that impressionable young people will not say, 'Well, I can do it too,' whether it be at school or out in the community and we're not going to support that."
Blanton says the School Boards Association has already started working with districts on improving crisis training for teachers and administrators.
As for the legislative session starting in March, he's optimistic state lawmakers will have the political will to direct more funding toward school security following one of the worst school shootings in the nation's history.

ATLANTA -- Ever try to rip off a single paper towel and get the entire roll instead?
The Perfect Tear Paper Towel Holder by Kamenstein claims it has patented technology that lets you pull and tear a towel with just one hand and they guarantee no unraveling.
Renee Dunn is one of the stylists at Carter Barnes Hair Artisans at Phipps Plaza in Buckhead. She knows a thing or two about function and style. She shies away from the "latest, greatest" products she sees on TV and in the stores.
"I've wasted plenty of money doing that," she said.
So we asked Renee to give us her unvarnished opinion of the Perfect Tear paper towel holder.
"I think it looks nice," she said. "I would put it in my kitchen."
But our number one question - does it do what it says?
Renee had a lot of trouble at first figuring out how tear off a paper towel with one hand.
"Oh, it didn't work," she said.
But Renee kept trying. Maybe it's one of those things that you just need to get the knack of.
The weighted base is supposed to keep the unit in place but it kept sliding around for Renee.
"Yeah, I don't like it," she said.
Then she switched up her approach, unwinding the towel around the roll and pulling. Then it seemed to work well for her and it wasn't unraveling as the ad promised.
The Perfect Tear holder sells for about $20 at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It comes in a stand-up and hanging model.
Renee seemed to warm up to it.
"It's better when you do it like this," she said.
Renee admits there are a lot of times it would be nice to tear off a towel with just one hand.
"I can just use one hand to tear one paper towel with this hand that's dirty with chicken in the kitchen or hair color in the salon," she said. "I can just grab at will and go. So that's good."
By the time she finished off the roll of towels, Renee had a new appreciation for the stainless steel holder.
"For the Perfect Tear Paper Towel Holder," she said, "I give it thumbs up."

Photos: Royals unveil uniform updates for 2012 season
The Royals today announced updates to the club's alternate home and primary road uniforms for the 2012 season. In addition to the changes described below, every version of the uniform jerseys will feature the 2012 All-Star Game patch on the right sleeve. The updated uniforms were unveiled today at an event at Kauffman Stadium featuring hitting coach Kevin Seitzer and 2011 All-Star pitcher Aaron Crow.
Changes to the alternate home "powder blue" uniforms:
· Jersey will feature a new bolder powder blue color that better represents the original powder blue color of our historic past.
· "Royals" script on the front of the jersey has been changed to white with blue outline and the number on the front of the jersey is now blue with white outline.
· Standard Royals blue KC cap will be worn with the new alternate jersey.
Changes to the primary road grey uniforms:
· Grey color fabric has been changed to a deeper looking blue/grey tonal quality that will enhance the other colors featured in the uniform.
· The "Kansas City" script has been retooled to a more stylized font that now is in the same family as our traditional "Royals" script font.
· The piping on both the jersey and pants is now a dual blue and white color scheme.
The Royals Majestic Team Store located at Gate C of Kauffman Stadium has announced special holiday hours allowing fans the opportunity to pick up those perfect Royals gifts for friends and family, including the brand-new powder blue and road jerseys. The store will be open on Friday, November 25 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and then again on Saturday, November 26 during the KU-MU football game from noon to 5 p.m. In addition, the store will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from December 19-23 with the exception of December 20 when the store will close at 6 p.m.

Good work on work on bringing back to solid blue cap to go with the powder blue jersey. I would recommend looking into making the powder blue jersey (with gray pants) the permanent road uniform. I think it would bring the organization more recognition and and awareness in other markets of the Royals brand. Plus I think they would look pretty good.
Good work on bringing back THE solid blue cap…
The uniforms are neat but i want to see a winning team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked the alternate cap, they need to bring back the alternate black uniforms as an additional option
Pingback: The Forward Defensive » New kit design
Glad they went back to the all blue caps. Never did care for the two tone caps. I also liked the old dark blue home alternate tops that featured the KC on the upper left chest area. Perhaps they could include those as they looked good with the two tone blue & white piping on the sleeves as well. Now put a contending team in these jerseys!
Please consider putting the logo that includes the crown on the caps. They would look so sharp!
I love the powder blue unis. The light blue hat was also great. I wish my team the Braves would go back to this look, very colorful.
Bule is the best of all……keep it………..:)

As anti-aging technology has improved, more trustworthy eye products have become available on the market. Despite this, there are still many eye creams, gels, and serums that do not effectively improve skin texture and tone. Remede Eye Products rely on cutting-edge science to improve the sensitive skin that surrounds your eyes. Because this area of skin is so thin, it can cause you to look aged or tired with minimal environmental damage, stress, or lack of sleep. Remede Eye Products use botanical ingredients and current scientific research to improve your skin's firmness, smoothness, and tone.
The skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of your face. Because of this, traditional moisturizers are not formulated to deal the specific needs of this area of skin. Remede Eye Products target the specific needs of this delicate skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles that result from sun damage, fatigue, stress, and other environmental factors. The skin around your eyes can be the most telling in terms of age, but a carefully selected eye product can combat signs of aging. Remede Eye Products give you the tools that you need to keep your eyes looking young and bright.
Along with your smile, your eyes are the first things on your face that people hone in on. Because the skin around your eyes is very thin and delicate, it more easily shows the effects of fatigue, sun damage, signs of aging, and other environmental issues. Fortunately, there are products designed to specifically target the needs of the sensitive skin around your eyes. Remede Eye Products offer specialized tools to keep your complexion looking radiant, smooth, and youthful.
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes might be indicative of years of laughter, smiles, and time spent in the sunshine, but many people will still prefer to maintain a smooth and youthful look. Remede Wrinkle Therapy Eye Baume works to lift and firm the skin around your eyes, diminishing the depth of wrinkles. Natural ingredients like jasmine wax work to fill the lines on your face, leading to a smoother and more even appearance. Powerful moisturizing ingredients help to rejuvenate this delicate area of skin. By restoring collagen and elastin over time, Remede Wrinkle Therapy Eye Baume keeps your eyes looking lively and young.
To keep the skin around your eyes looking smooth and energized, it is important for eye care products to both hydrate and firm your skin.

Inappropriate behavior from Superintendent Brooks, and his social media "expert" but that's okay?

text: I have gone through the majority of threads on here and not found an answer yet so thought would ask. Has anyone found a way to configure AMaViS to train DSPAM from SA results ? It's great that it will learn from the SPAM/HAM accounts but our SA Bayes has been running for a few years now and it would be nice to leverage that to help DSPAM along. The only thing I have found is to use a custom hook like described in Re: dspam auto-learn with amavisd-new 2.8.0

Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Authorities deduced from hours of interviews with an Alaska serial killer that he took lives for pleasure and that he may have killed close to a dozen people.
Israel Keyes confessed to killing eight people before he committed suicide last weekend in an Anchorage jail. But FBI and Anchorage Police Department investigators said Friday they think he may have had up to three additional victims.
FBI Special Agent Jolene Goeden acknowledges authorities don't know for sure because Keyes took that information with him when he killed himself Sunday.
Three of the eight people Keyes confessed to killing have been identified, but he provided few details about the other five.
Goeden and Anchorage Police officer Jeff Bell conducted up to 40 hours of interviews with Keyes after his March arrest in Texas. Goeden says the interviews revealed Keyes enjoyed killing and got a "rush" from it.

HOUSTON, Texas (USA Today) - Former president George H.W. Bush has been in a Houston hospital for a week with a persistent cough, though aides said it is not life-threatening and that he is expected to be released in the next few days.
Bush, who served as president from 1989 to 1993, has been in and out of Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center for the last few weeks, his office said in a statement. He is being treated for complications from bronchitis.
Bush, 88, is in stable condition, his office said.
"We have kept this quiet out of respect for him," Bush chief of staff Jean Becker told the Houston Chronicle. Becker said there were some earlier concerns that the cough would turn into pneumonia, but it has not.
Amy Myunderse, the physician in charge of his care, told the Chronicle that Bush's condition was never considered life-threatening. "Anytime someone the president's age has bronchitis, there's concern about possible pneumonia," Myunderse said. "But Mr. Bush's condition never progressed to that level."
Bush suffers a form of Parkinson's disease that has forced him to use a wheelchair or motorized scooter.
Bush, a Republican, was the 41st president. He led the nation during the first Gulf War against Iraq and Saddam Hussein. The Berlin Wall also fell and the Soviet Union dissolved under his watch.
Bush lives in Houston with his wife, Barbara. He is the father of George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, who visted him at the hospital, and Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida.

Charlotte Russe Flower Statement Necklace
The outfit actually seemed to look ok when I checked the mirror this morning, but unfortunately these pictures are telling me otherwise. Not only is the length a bit long, but I think the jeans are a bit big altogether. What do you guys think? I'm thinking at the very least I'll need to get these jeans hemmed, but maybe I should also zap them in the dryer? Part of me actually enjoys the fact that they're a little looser actually... maybe I can cuff them for a boyfriend jean look? Agh, help me decide! ^_^

Therapist Thumb Version 2 (Blue)
"Holey" Therapist's Thumb is light weight so it's easier to use and the "hole" gives you additional hold options. Same performance as the original, but with more benefits. It still performs the great work of our original model, but with added benefits! Measure from the first crease in the wrist to the top of middle finger. 6.5"+ use large; <6.5" use small.
I really like this tool. It fits so perfectly in my hand and really a great Thumb saver. I would buy this product again. I give it a safe thumbs Up!!!!
I bought this product here several weeks ago and have used it time after time on my clients with little result.
i will say that it is difficult to shop for a tool online. you dont truly know what you are going to get until it is in your hands.
I started out with the Hand-L tool that i loved - but unfortunately after dropping it ONCE it completely shattered - so i thought that going for something that wasnt stone, i would get more longevity out of the tool. (even though things that arent ribbed are too slippery when applying creme).
i bought the large size tool (in green - not that it matters much) and the tool has proven to be too short. the grip of it leaves the pinky left with little to grip. the mechanics that you have to use to get a good grip on the tool hurts the wrist. the tool itself is so small that when gripping the tool and using the thumb press your index finger actually drags on the body and doesnt give a proper pressure gauge that you need when using a tool...
needless to say - hand-L is a better tool, but if you ever drop it, say bye bye. i havent found a tool yet that beats hand-L as far as what it can do.
great tool!
I actually got to meet the inventor & learn different techniques from her. I found it very easy to use & love it. Most clients can't tell I'm using a tool & I'm able to use as much if not more pressure without straining my hand or wrist.
This is awesome to use for self massage between clients especially if your hands hurt - you dont have to worry about hurting one thumb while trying to fix the other hand. A few clients who need dt work really enjoy it, but its a good idea to practice before bringing it into a treatment room. I think I've used this more on my hands and back than on other clients, but it works great!!

4 Sacramento men busted in Redding marijuana stop | Crime
REDDING, CA - A tip led Redding police to the discovery of 300 pounds of packaged pot in the vehicles of four Sacramento-area men traveling from Trinity County to the Capital City Sunday night.
Redding police Cpt. Jon Poleski said officers pulled over a U-Haul pick-up truck and a white Nissan Altima in town limits just before 7:30 p.m. A K-9 officer alerted human officers to the U-Haul and a search of the pick-up truck uncovered the marijuana, he said.
Taken into custody was the driver of the U-Haul, Chue Chang, 43, of Sacramento.
Officers searched the Nissan and found packaging material, vacuum-sealing equipment and a hand-held radio identical to one found in Chang's pick-up, Poletski said.
The three men in the Nissan: driver Lor Somboon, 18, of Sacramento; Yang Chue Her, 34, of Elk Grove and Brian Lor, 33, of Sacramento, and Chang were arrested and booked into Shasta County Jail on suspicion of marijuana sales, transportation and conspiracy to distribute charges.

As everyone knows, shaving can be a delicate business. Some skin types are easily irritated by the process, or so prone to drying that the condition is exacerbated with razor and cream. Some products do little to soothe reddened, inflamed, or flaky skin, nor much to address the bumps and re-growing hairs that can follow in the wake of shaving. But the Whish Women's Shave line provides a host of treatments that make shaving more comfortable, more effective, and more rejuvenating than ever before.
Whether you need a fragrantly scented aftershave, a solution to post-shaving redness and bumps, a protective shaving lotion for sensitive skin, or a brush for lathering up the perfect cream, Whish Women's Shave products are there for you. Made with the same care and focus on natural botanicals as other Whish skin-care offerings, these items will become an essential and cherished part of your routine. Along with providing excellent service, many of the gels and lotions come in a variety of fragrances—featuring the special restorative powers of pomegranate, almond, and other botanical oils—so your shaving procedure will be a lusciously aromatic one.
Don't settle for irritating, messy, or ineffective shaving products. Embrace the Whish approach to nourishing, protecting, and massaging your skin during this delicate process.
With Whish Flawless Bump Fighter, you've got a fine-tuned, gentle treatment for shaving bumps and ingrown hairs, perfect for smoothing out your skin and even weakening follicles to prevent future growth. Clinical tests have shown that, in addition to reducing and preventing ingrown hairs, this easy-to-use gel helps diminish irritation, inflammation, and redness associated with shaving, as well as enhancing the general appearance of skin. Hypoallergenic and alcohol-free, Whish Flawless Bump Fighter has a crisp, cucumber-like aroma you'll love. And unlike other bump-fighting products involving pads, cotton balls, and liquids, our gel is applied in the ideal amount with an airless pump; simply massage it in with your fingertips to the target area.
The Whish Shave Savour Hair Inhibiting Gel comes in a variety of fragrances, but all of them showcase the same soothing, healing, and restorative aftershave formula. Quick to dry and non-greasy, this gel attends to the little scrapes and nicks inevitable with shaving with aloe, sage leaf, lemon extract, and other natural antiseptics. Other botanicals improve softness and suppleness. Meanwhile, these aftershaves help slow the re-growth of hairs. Choose your favorite aromatic botanical oil. Whish Pomegranate Shave Savour Hair Inhibiting Gel has the sweet, fruity scent of juicy pomegranates. Whish Almond Shave Savour Hair Inhibiting Gel offers the warm and nutty aroma of almond oil. The Whish Lemongrass Shave Savour Hair Inhibiting Gel has a crisp and clean scent that will leave your skin feeling refreshed.
Take your shaving to the next level with Whish shaving creams. Whish Almond Shave Crave Shaving Cream Pump is very hydrating and gives you a more comfortable shave with long lasting moisture. The Whish Pomegranate Shave Crave Shaving Cream Pump will bathe your skin in the fruity aroma of pomegranate. For those who love the scent of lavender from the country side, there is Whish Lavender Shave Crave Shaving Cream Pump. Finally, for a crisp and clean scent, you can choose the Whish Lemongrass Shave Crave Shaving Cream Pump. All these blend nourishing botanical oils with glycerin soap for a protective, salving, and thoroughly moisturizing lather perfect for even the driest, rawest skin.

great idea
Since I should have the gamer-printshop ecommerce site up this week, I thought that a way to celebrate its reopening, I'd sponsor a prize contest.
In the past map challenges have been focused on maps for Virtual Tabletop, which is great as more and more users are playing with VT apps. However, my area of expertise is digital printing.
How about a contest (venue up to CL's or other Challenge Ideas) where the final map is intended for print at 300 dpi at 24" x 36".
Whoever wins the challenge, I will print and ship at my expense the winning map to the winner. If that means Torq wins, I'll ship his entry at 24 x 36 to South Africa - at my cost.
Just an idea, thoughts?

Something witty and pithy
Great idea, but I have to admit that my laptop with its puny 2Gb of RAM will die if I try to generate a 7200 by 10800 pixel map! Maybe this is just the world's way of telling me to accept the inevitable and get a better computer...
Great Idea! And very supportive Game Printer.
I'm in Guelph Ontario - near Toronto. I'm curious about postage to my place - not like I'm planning to win or anything . More like I'd like to support your business.
Assuming something comes of this, anything we should do about size for the upload\download of these things? How bout a smaller view and a larger link (perhaps off site)? People could post WIP views but save site space for their final work?

That was my first thought as well. I know when I did my Sept Challenge at only 3000x3000 (150 ppi I think) towards the end, I was having 2 GB spikes and had to close out GIMP every hour or so or it would just stop responding. Even then, doing most filter actions took 30-60 seconds to completed, and this is a a Core 2Duo with 4 GB Ram(I really need to look into getting 2 8GB sticks). I can just imagine my compute going up in smoke trying to an image large enough to make for a nice printed battle map.
Not saying it's a bad idea.. but I expect the number of entries to be smallish due to the machine requirements.

Well I'll go with a full review for everyone through the end of this hunting season but ended up going with both. In all the reviews I read you really just need both. My initial concern was the guide pants were going to be too heavy. Not anymore. The pants are a very small step above the attack pants. Probably just perfect for the late fall.
Kuiu has really nailed down their product for arguably the best hunting clothing line. My continual frustration is their lack of service on carrying inventory. Its a shame they couldn't just nail it 100%.
Anyways. Full review coming late fall.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to download an attachment from either desktop or web clients for zimbra. There's nothing active on the attachment line except that the delete link and something tells me the deleting an attachment before downloading is not the right way to go. I'm using Thunderbird now just to download an attachment.
Calendar is driving me insane. I need bidirectional synchronization like so many other people. I have come across lots of solutions that don't work and the simple one of using the URL given by Google to the ICS file is a simple one-way read. I have 3 to 5 calendars active at any time. I have a personal calendar (on Google), one calendar for each client, and I managed the the aggregate of all those calendars on the desktop and my phone.
I could move everything to zimbra if I could control the aggregate presentation. For example, every client gets the aggregate view of my calendars. But they only see their own calendar events, they do not see anybody else's events. They only see busy free.in thinking about this a little bit, I think I would want to mirror my calendars up on Google just because it makes it so much easier to deal with my phone. Google automatically synchronizes between phone and Google calendar.
Is this possible or impossible?

WHEELING - Focus was the name of the game for Weirton Madonna on Tuesday afternoon as the Blue Dons needed to keep their attention on Bishop Donahue in the West Virginia Class A Region One, Section One volleyball semifinals before looking ahead to a possible huge matchup in today's finals.
That is exactly what Coach Jennifer Ewusiak's squad did, quickly taking the first two games before finally finishing off the feisty Bishops in the fourth.
Nicolette Sellitti and Monica Bragg controlled the net, combining for 31 kills and 28 attacks while Dylan Fenske did her part with 40 assists and a couple of impressive service runs as Madonna captured a four-set, 25-17, 25-16, 22-25, 25-15 victory against Bishop Donahue to advance to the sectional championship game at Wheeling Central's East Wheeling gym.

With the victory, the Blue Dons upped their record to a sparkling 28-3 heading into this afternoon's finals against another power, Magnolia, at 5 p.m. back in East Wheeling.
The Blue Eagles did their part by dispatching of the homestanding Maroon Knights later Tuesday.
''It is real nice to be moving on, but I think we were a little off (Tuesday)," Ewusiak said. "There are still a few things we need to work on, but we played well and hopefully we will just get better as the tournament goes on."
Madonna was in control early in the opening, leading by as many as four points, before Coach Don Chamberlain's Bishops (11-17) came to life and eventually took a 12-9 lead. However, Madonna was not going to go away easy and the Dons quickly rallied to reclaim the lead at 13-12 and never trailed again before gaining a 25-17 victory.
Game 2 was a little different in that Madonna led wire-to-wire, jumping to an early 5-1 advantage before the pesky Bishops pulled to within two points on three separate occasions, the last at 10-8, before the Blue Dons again pulled away late to set up a possible deciding game with a 25-16 victory.
But Chamberlain's girls were not ready to go away just yet, and after the teams battled back and forth early on, with four ties and a pair of lead changes, Donahue began assuming control. The biggest lead came at six, 21-15, but Madonna continued to battle and pulled to within 23-22 late before the game went to point and senior Katie Scott's recorded the final service tally for a 25-22 score.
It looked like the Dons were going to run away and hide in what turned out to be the final game of the match, jumping out quick and rolling to a 15-3 upper hand on seven Sellitti service points. But with the score 19-7, Beth Wolfe ran off seven of her own as all of a sudden the Marshall Countians were within 19-13, the closest they got the rest of the game.
''Bishop Donahue battled, but we worked hard the entire match and I am very proud of how the girls played," Ewusiak said. "And I will continue to be proud of them no matter how far we go, which if we play up to our potential could be far."
Chamberlain, meanwhile, was happy with how hard his girls battled as well, even in defeat.
"They are very tall and good up front and that hurts us," he said. "But they are such a good team and that shows with their record. Our girls battled back and got a victory in that third game, but we just didn't execute when we needed to in the others.
"We fell way behind in that fourth game, but again, we started coming back, it was just too little, too late."

Qhick Tip: Getting Ready For Christmas
Posted in: Clutter Hack Links,How I de-cluttered,Resources,Uncategorized,Videos, Podcasts
When I wanted to write about Christmas this week, I wondered if it was too early.Then I saw two Christmas posts on a couple of my favorite "intentional living" blogs and I felt like I was in good company. So… onwards and upwards.
When you think about Christmas, what are the aspects that overwhelm you and stress you out?
For me, it's not knowing what's happening.
I'm a girl who loves a plan and I like to know who's hosting the lunch and what I have to bring.
I also like to have clear in my mind what we're doing about gifts and cards.
Here's a quick list I made just to get my high-level thinking going:
1. Who will we send Christmas cards to? Do I have enough or do I have to buy some more? (A Holiday Card Keeper is the perfect place to organize them!)
2. Who are we buying gifts for? What is our budget per person/ family?
3. What are we doing for Christmas lunch?
4. How much decorating are we doing?
5. Which activities do we want to participate in?
6. What caused us too much stress last year that we want to let go of? (too many socials, too much spending, etc.)
Does this list help you?
I suggest you print out these 6 questions and take 5 – 10 minutes over a cup of tea to answer them honestly.
Your answers may not look like those of other people but if you embrace YOUR vision, you'll be a lot happier.
Personally I found that reading too many decorating blogs around this time made me feel inadequate as I'm very minimalistic.
That's one thing I'm going to let go of

Hi, all. This is Andy Hartzell, writer and lead designer for episode two of "The Devil's Playhouse." As you can see from my pitiful post history, I haven't properly acquired the forum habit yet. But I promise to visit regularly for at least the next month or two.
So let's see...what can I tell you about the upcoming installment? You know it's called "The Tomb of Sammun-Mak", and you've guessed that it involves the mysterious objects that were revealed in the final moments of "The Penal Zone". I can tell you that it's going to be a big episode and a twisty one, a tale that ranges widely in time and space. Like episode 1, this one throws a few new ingredients into the Telltale stew, but the flavor of this one is a bit different. Less oregano, more...cumin. And clove.
There, is that enigmatic enough? Please feel free to post any questions or speculations you may have, and I promise to respond promptly with cryptic non-answers.

This week, with our 37th Jörðgarð (TM) Map of the Week, we begin looking at the last of the eight dark draug settlements in the ruins of the fallen Æsir Empire, the ruins of Garndi's Crossing. During the great wars, Mýsing, the baron of Garndi's Crossing, went over to the Darkness and allied with the high draug Martröð, who made of Mýsing one of the nine dark draugs. (A dark draug is similar to an OGL 3.5 lich.) As a result, Mýsing sacrificed his free will and bound it to that of the greater Darkness and Martröð. The high draug fell, but Mýsing still is a slave of the Darkness. He has no desire to turn from evil, but he hopes to regain his free will.
Although Garndi's Crossings no longer exists, Mýsing still claims to rule it, and he still insists that his followers address him with his noble title, baron. That following is a collection of lesser draugs who survived the wars and who remained bound to his will now as they were before Martröð's fall and of evil Slovánski humans who have joined in the baron's new crusade to shed his shackles of Dark domination.
All draugs are to a certain extent insane. Transfiguration into an undead robs a human soul of some of its sanity and makes of it a chaotic creature. Mýsing appears to be more insane than any of the other eight dark draugs, and that manifests itself nowhere so much is in his theory of the nature of life. He has come to believe that the spark of life is the spark of lightning. Thunderstorms occur, according to Mýsing's teachings, as a natural process that continually renews the energy of life within the jörð.
Thus, like Dr. Frankenstein in the book of the same name by 19th Century author Mary Shelley, Mýsing is convinced that he can use lightning to infuse life into a body that no longer is alive. His theory also is that - once he has this technique perfected - he can apply lightning to himself, to restore him from undeath to life. Then, he believes, he will be able to reclaim his own free will, because he no longer will be a draug. After that, he intends to have his followers make a god of him.
Key to the Map of Garndi's Crossing:
(Unnumbered) Orc Tents. Several smaller tents are scattered throughout the area. Off duty orcs sleep there.
1. Orc Command Tent. The leaders of the 25 or so orcs who have guard duty in Garndi's Crossing are in this tent.
2. Orc Armory. The orcs have their weapon cache here. Two orc warriors always are on guard here.
3. Orc Supply Tent. The orcs keep their supplies here.
4. Orc Mess Tent. The orcs' dining area.
5. Draug Quarters. The red draugs and dark rider draugs have their quarters in this windowless wooden structure.
6. Red Draugs' Tower. The four red draugs have their laboratories here.
7. Mýsing's Tower. The dark draug dwells and conducts his experiments here.
8. Temple of the Rising Darkness (Gagnauga Uppganga Dimma). This is the central temple of Mýsing's new Rising Darkness religion. This also is the area where new clerics and priests are trained.
9. Monastery. Most of the clerics dwell here, along with student clerics and priests.
You can get this map in two versions:
1. The original Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 map in FMP format, fully editable, from our Jörðgarð web page (33 MB). This version includes a 14-page PDF pamphlet that tells you how to use the map in FM8.
2. As a JPG flat map of 1360 x 1020 pixels (1.1 MB), above.
Both versions are released for personal and commercial use under the Open Game License Version 1.0a, which you can read on the Jörðgarð web site.

Knee arthrodesis is a procedure that fuses the thigh bone to the lower leg bone at the knee. The joined bones may be secured with plates and screws. This method of support is called internal fixation. It provides support while the bones fuse together.
Your knee will no longer be able to bend after this surgery.
Knee arthrodesis may only be done if all other repair methods are not appropriate or have failed. It may be done:
Arthrodesis may reduce pain and improve overall function. However, it will prevent bending at the knee and will cause a limp.
Your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of problems include:
Make sure you talk to your doctor about these risks before your procedure.
Your doctor may do the following before your procedure:
Before surgery, you will need to:
You may need to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure. Medications that may need to be stopped may include:
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
General anesthesia
will be used. You will be asleep during the surgery.
An incision will be made over the knee. The ends of the thigh bone and top of the lower leg bone will be removed. This will remove all of the knee joint structures. The ends of the bones will be joined together. Metal plates will be screwed into the joined bones.
The incision will be closed. A bandage may be placed over the incision.
About two hours
Anesthesia will block pain during the procedure. You will have pain after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help manage pain.
The usual length of stay is about three to four days. It is possible that you may have to stay longer if complications arise. You may also go to a rehabilitation hospital to help you recover.
Right after the procedure, you may be given medication such as:
Physical therapy often starts within 24 hours after your surgery. During this time you may need devices to help you walk.
You will be able to leave when you are able to get around and do basic daily care activities on your own.
When you return home, take these steps:
Follow your doctor or physical therapist's exercise program.
Be sure to follow all of your doctor's instructions.
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Denton, TX (Sports Network) - Will Neighbor scored 11 points, pulled down six
rebounds and nabbed four steals to lead the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans to a
62-57 victory over the North Texas Mean Green, in a Sun Belt Conference tilt
at The Super Pit.
For the Trojans (14-9, 8-4 Sun Belt), Josh Hagins and James White each also
finished with 11 points.
Jordan Williams led the Mean Green (8-14, 3-8), with a game-high 22 points,
while Roger Franklin posted a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds and
Tony Mitchell chipped in 13 points.
Both teams struggled from the field to begin the game, with each shooting an
identical 36.7 percent. The Trojans were able to knock down 5-of-8 from
beyond the 3-point arc and that allowed them to take a 32-25 lead into
intermission. The Mean Green shot 2-of-5 from 3-point distance in the first
After halftime, the Mean Green continued to have problems shooting the ball,
making just 31.8 percent of its field goal tries. The Trojans shot 47.6
percent from the field in the second half, but missed all but one of their
five 3-point attempts. The Mean Green were able to keep the game close by
outscoring the Trojans, 16-9, from the free-throw line, though it did miss
eight free-throw shots in the second half. After trailing by seven early in
the second, the Trojans ran off nine straight points to take a two-point lead,
37-35, midway through the period. UALR responded with an 8-0 run of its own
to retake the lead for good, letting North Texas got no closer than four the
rest of the way, as the Trojans extended their winning streak to three games.
The teams were an even 20-20 on points in the paint. The Mean Green had a
37-31 rebounding edge in the game.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.-- Captain Munnerlyn knows NFL cornerbacks need to have a short memory -- and thick skin.
So when the undersized Munnerlyn hears the criticism suggesting someone else should be starting for the Carolina Panthers at the No. 2 cornerback spot, he doesn't get angry.
He just works that much harder.
He says "there's a lot of people out there who're like, `We need another corner,"' but "it doesn't bother me at all."
The 5-foot-8 Munnerlyn started 14 games for Carolina last season but had no interceptions.
He was targeted 60 times according to STATS and allowed a completed pass 65 percent of the time -- by far the most on the team.
Coach Ron Rivera believes Munnerlyn is capable of starting, but made it clear the No. 2 cornerback spot is open to competition.
