WASHINGTON-Russia should release political prisoner Mikhail Khodorkovsky and show a greater commitment to human rights and rule of law, Senators Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD) and Roger Wicker (R-MS) said on the Senate floor Monday, three days before the U.S. and Russian presidents are to meet.In a lengthy floor exchange, the senators recalled the story of Khodorkovky - now Russia's best known political prisoner. Khodorkovsky, who was recently referred to in the Moscow Times as Medvedev's Sakharov, owned Yukos oil company and had used his wealth to fund opposition political parties when in 2003 he was arrested and convicted on charges of tax evasion, the company broken up and handed over to Kremlin-controlled firms."It was a miscarriage of justice. It was wrong," said Senator Cardin, Chairman of the U.S. Helsinki Commission. "Clearly what was done here was a violation of Russia's commitments under the Helsinki Final Act. It was a violation of Russia's statements about allowing democracy and democratic institutions, and it was a violation of their commitment to allow a free market to develop within their own country. The real tragedy here is that this is an ongoing matter. I hope this week's meetings can focus attention on this case and Russia can start to correct this miscarriage of justice by releasing Mr. Khodorkovsky and his codefendant from prison.""Strengthening relations with Russia must not be at the expense of progress on other important issues," said Senator Wicker, a member of the Helsinki Commission. "The United States cannot publicly support rule of law and independent judiciary while turning a blind eye to what has happened to Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev. I urge the President and the Secretary to put this issue high on the agenda as we continue to engage with Russia and high on the agenda for President Medvedev's upcoming meeting here in Washington."

In response to shuperman's comment:
Financial suicide. 8 yrs. 7 million. Wow. 128 gms. 66-45 record. Wow just wow. You rask supporters better hope hes healthy for 8 yrs bc we are broke.
Enjoy no upgrades.
Look up winning percentages all time and tell me how many goalies have better numbers than Rask? Look at where his career numbers fit all time? Granted, he's played the equivalent of just over two years as a starter, but unlike a lot of guys with limited games played, you can't say Rask "got hot" like Steve Mason, and that his numbers are skewed or inconsistent. Whenever he's been in, he's been consistently a very good to elite level goalie. Take your head out of the oven.
I'm having flashbacks to all of the idiots who said the Bruins should have walked away from Tim Thomas the summer after he won a Vezina rather than give him a four year deal with a Cap hit of $5M. Some guy got out of the penalty box after, what, 36 months in maximum security for closing his hand on the puck? suggested they should have hung on to Craig Anderson instead. So they could "upgrade" elsewhere.
Thomas's deal represented almost 9% of the Cap that year and made him the second highest paid player on teh team behind Chara. If Chara was still making what he made in 2009, Rask would be teh second highest paid player on the team behind Chara. Rask's deal is 10.8% of an artificiallly set cap number for next year that everyone expects to rise dramatically for the following year - that's by Malkin is signing his stupid deal, that's how Anaheim is locking up Perry and Getzlaf. Within a year, this will be less than 9% of the Cap for a goalie who backstopped you to the Cup finals. He could easily have been a Vezina finalist. He's in his prime. You're buying 7 years of UFA bargaining potential.
One more thing for shupe's sake - goodbye upgrades? Where do you want these upgrades? Upgrade Krejci, Lucic, Marchand, Bergeron, Eriksson? Chara and Seidenberg? Because if you're talking about "upgrades" on the performance of those guys, I think you're talking about transforming the team in some very fundamental ways. And if it's not those guys, you're talking about buying better deck chairs rather than fortify the hull before you take an arctic cruise.
Lastly, for the Trade Subban! crowd. He has an 8 year contract. That doesn't mean he's in Boston for 7 years. It means we know what they'll be paying for him as long as he's in Boston.

Here is some WY goats.
Hey guys i just finished my app for WY fingers crossed but should be a done deal. I am gonna be headed to NM on a landowner tag this fall then to WY in late Sept and early Oct and possibly hit up MT but thinking of a mule deer hunt in MT instead. I have shot a couple of smaller bucks never shot a big one but i have the bug and love chasing these things and hope to drop a whopper this year.
So where are you guys heading this year?
How bout some pics to tied us all over for a while, these are my two bucks i have taken
Here is some WY goats.
I hunt 'em with the kids. Prolly do the same this year. I don't get too serious about trophy quality with speed goats, but I've killed a pile of them.
I love antelope hunting. Here in nv, you have to wait five years before applying again. I have killed 3 and build points in 7 states! It is a blast chasing the pronghorn and more social than a deer hunt.
Yeah it's a hoot, especially when you see literally 100's of them every day. We should draw our buck tags and then get 2 extra does apiece. Get to hunt with on of my boyhood pals from California this year!
Colorado Cowboy
Cowboy Action Shooter; Endowment Life Member-NRA
The Original Rocket Scientist-Retired
"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
In the past I was not too big into antelope. More recently I have become more fond of hunting them, my father and I have been inching our way closer and closer to BC book. Maybe this is the year.
I've got the itch for a good antelope hunt. My first year hunting them here in ND I screwed up bad on a great opportunity. The very next year they cancelled the season here, and it will likely remain cancelled for some time. I'm likely heading to Wyo for redemption this year. Can't wait.
This year is setting up to be a good season for me. I'm a lock to draw a good mule dear tag in Oregon. I'm a long shot to draw a antelope tag and elk tag in oregon. Witch means general season for elk. I have finally opened my eyes to Wyoming antelope oppurtunities. I'm going to by a Wyoming Antelope point and give it a shot in 2013. Thanks for all the posts. I'm gaining some knowledge from this forum.
I just finished up my Wy app also. Says 100% with the 4 points I have. Hope to draw 67. Took a dink in Nv 5 years ago with a bow and will only take a wall hanger for now on. Si I hope Wy will produce it for me this year. I also can start applying for Nv bucks again this year.

This Is Who Ruined The Wolverines Last 5 Minutes, According To The Writer
Screenwriter Scott Frank has opened about the ending to The Wolverine, insisting that 20th Century Foxs interference ruined the film. Frank, who penned the 2013 blockbuster that starred Hugh Jackman, believes that the concluding stages of Logans tale is hugely different in tone to the rest of the piece and, as a result, this massively ruined the blockbuster.

This Week In Home Entertainment: The Wolverine Claws Its Way Into Homes
The last time Logan/Wolverine got his own film, it wasnt well received. However, by finding a new tone and taking our protagonist to a new location, The Wolverine manages to be a serious but interesting tale, and a fine addition to the X-Men canon.

Watch: Wolverine Almost Wore The Classic Yellow And Blue Suit In James Mangold's Movie
Ive gone on record multiple times begging Hugh Jackman to one day wear one of Wolverines classic costumes from the Marvel comic books. Im not picky. Id take yellow and blue, or brown and maroon. Both are amazing, and both would help cement his portrayal of the character as the greatest love letter to X-Men fans cinema could provide.

The Wolverine 2 Bringing Back Hugh Jackman And James Mangold

The Wolverine Almost Featured The Return Of Rogue
While Famke Janssen wound up playing a fairly significant role in James Mangold's The Wolverine, coming back as Logan's love Jean Grey, apparently she almost wasn't the only character from the original X-Men trilogy in the movie other than the titular character.

Can The Wolverine Convince Other Superhero Movies To Think Small?
What set The Wolverine apart, and helped it earn significantly better reviews than the last standalone Wolverine effort, was that it was essentially a family drama dressed up as a superhero film. Logan travels to Japan and finds himself protecting Mariko, a woman targeted by the Yakuza because she's poised to inherit her grandfather's vast fortune. Every fight scene in the film is about protecting Mariko, or her sort-of sister Yukio. Every heroic decision Logan makes in the film is for the sake of someone he actually knows

The character Wolverine has racked up quite the list of movie appearances in the last thirteen years, from key roles in the X-Men movies and now two solo ventures.

The Wolverine's $21 Million Friday Box Office Is Weaker Than Expected
It will be an easy #1 for the weekend, given that it had pretty much zero wide release competition, and will still be among the year's 10 biggest openings so far, nestled between The Great Gatsby's surprise $50 million and World War Z's equally surprising $66 million.

The Wolverine Makes An Impressive $4 Million From Early Thursday Showings

The Wolverine Director James Mangold Says It Does Right By Women. Is He Right?
I weighed this against the comment that the films star Hugh Jackman made at the press event, calling women his characters Achilles heel. I realized that in The Wolverine women are shown to be as crucial to defining the titular character as his adamantium claws. But I battled with where they stood as being as full-blooded as Mangold claimed.

Watch The Wolverine Survive A Nuclear Blast
As has been illustrated many times throughout the entire X-Men franchise, Wolverine has been alive for a long, long time.

But what you may not have known is that the immortal mutant was down in Japan at the end of World War II, and believe it or not he can actually say that he's survived a nuclear blast. Need proof?

Hugh Jackman Suggests The Wolverine Could Be His Last Solo Movie As The Character
While Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was unquestionably the most popular character of the X-Men trilogy, his first solo effort as the character put a pretty serious dent in the franchise. The film was a decent success at the box office, but it was torn apart by critics and left a bad taste in audience's mouths that some suggest resulted in X-Men: First Class not performing as well in theaters as all of the other movies in the series.

Wolverine Slices His Way On To The Cover Of Entertainment Weekly
By the time James Mangold's The Wolverine will be released in July it will be the third superhero movie of the summer, having arrived after both Shane Black's Iron Man 3 and Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, but that in no way dulls our excitement to see the film.

The Wolverine Trailer Finally Puts The Silver Samurai Into Action
We've got one superhero movie out of the way this summer, with Iron Man 3 continuing to shatter box office records everywhere, and the next one is coming up very soon, with Man of Steel debuting June 14. The only superhero mystery that's really left is The Wolverine, which brings back Hugh Jackman as the adamantium-clawed berseker eager, retreating to Japan and haunted by losses from the past and a desire to part ways with his own immortality

What Will Be The Summer's Biggest Movie? We Place Our Bets
Iron Man 3 is an enormous hit right now, nearing $1 billion at the worldwide box office and ruling the American charts for the second weekend in a row. The Great Gatsby opened just last week and managed to stun nearly everybody by making $51 million. Summer movies are there to entertain us, sure, but they're really all about the money, and even more than we want to know the true identity of Star Trek's villain or what's really going on in Edgar Wright's The World's End

Another X-Man Rumored To Cameo In The Wolverine
Back when it was revealed (via a Vine video) that Famke Janssen would reprise her role of Jean Grey in James Mangolds upcoming The Wolverine, fans stopped trying to plot out which X-Men characters would cameo in the standalone Logan adventure. As far as they knew, the riddle had been solved. But has it?

Silver Samurai Poster Promotes The Wolverine With Art, Not Carnage
The image appeared courtesy of director James Mangolds Twitter page, tagged with the message, As we are beginning to offer glimpses of Silver Samurai, heres a new great one sheet image for #thewolverine. This Japanese watercolor-style portrait of the villain-turned-hero-turned-villain was almost definitely designed by the same guy who gave us a similar look at Wolverine himself last year.

The Wolverine CinemaCon Footage Features Leaping Ninjas And A Silver Samurai
Theres no denying that this still looks worlds more engaging than the mess that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but it lacks all cohesiveness and doesnt really clue anyone into the films storyline. They should have just showed a piece of a battle scene.

The Wolverine Japanese Trailer Thrills With New Footage, A Better Pace
Its not that the footage shown in this trailer is vastly different. But the pacing of the clip is slower, more deliberate, and it gives The Wolverine room to breathe, which reminds me that Mangold knows how to direct a picture and, hopefully, he pans out as being the right choice to helm the first great Wolverine movie.

Love these three big beautiful gay pornstar bubble butts. Don't you? Which of these muscular hunks has the best set of muscle cakes? The gym stud on the left , the buff hunk on the right, or the cream filling in the middle? Lucky ass white muscle boy. Haha!
Check out this muscle hunk's big muscular back and perfect muscle bubble buns. Seriously want to jump his bones as soon as he gets out of the shower. Slippery when wet… Oh yes!
Get a look at this big beautiful round muscle bubble butt! I'd pay to worship these glutes any day of the week. That's what makes muscle worship so enjoyable… as each muscle worship aficionado is willing and eager to devote much needed attention to their favorite muscular body parts. Whether you like to massage, lick, taste, or just watch… muscle worship is just as satisfying for the worshiper as it is for the bodybuilder being worshipped. Now, let me worship this muscle ass with my tongue…. hehehehe!

Driving the New Dodge Challenger Concept CarWritten by on September 11, 2006 It really is a "New Musclecar"
It was a phone call that I guarantee every Mopar guy from sea to shining sea wishes he would have gotten. I was asked if I would like to drive the new Challenger concept car. You heard me, not just take some pictures of it sitting in a parking lot, but actually get behind the wheel of this thing and drive it. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This was almost as good as getting a call saying that I had just won the lottery. Scott Brown, Chrysler's West Coast PR rep, was calling to let me know the Challenger concept car was coming to California, and that I was not only going to have a chance to photograph it, but also to actually sit in the driver seat and drive it. I've been thoroughly captivated by the look of the new Challenger concept car, and I recently had a chance to meet and interview the two principal designers, Michael Castiglione and Alan Barrington, but I never thought I would ever get a chance to get behind the wheel.
The location for the Challenger photo shoot and drive was the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC). This is where cops learn how to drive patrol cars and do the bad-guy-spinning-out-of-control PIT maneuver. EVOC is located 20 miles north of San Bernardino and includes an excellent high-speed track.
When I arrived at EVOC, I saw a group of people huddled around the brilliant orange car. There was no mistaking it; that had to be the Challenger concept that I was going to drive. I had to remember that I was driving the car in order to give you guys an insight into how the car handled, but all I could think was, let me mash the pedal, let me mash the pedal. I was soon to find out the guys at DCX weren't quite ready to let me do that. I made a beeline for the car, running over women and children in the process (not really). the closer I got, the better it looked. I hadn't been able to go to Detroit for its introduction, but I had seen all the photos. it is noticeably bigger than an original Challenger, but it's by no means oversized--let's say it's comfortably robust. The combination of the spectacular orange paint and raw carbon-fiber accents is breathtaking. in fact, the entire body is made of carbon fiber and executed perfectly, but don't expect the production vehicle to be built out of the same material. When you first see any car sitting in a parking lot, stance is everything, and the Challenger concept has it in spades. It's a very impressive vehicle when you finally get to see it in person.
I said a few quick hellos to the DaimlerChrysler staff, and then stood by the driver's door like a hound dog waiting for his dish to be filled. I was determined that no one would get between me and the car. When Scott Brown asked if I wanted to drive it, emotional containment was at the breaking point, and my head nodded like a bobblehead doll riding in an off-road vehicle.
As I was getting into the car, somebody asked if I could drive a stick. Of course I could, but even if I couldn't, I don't know if I would have said anything! The disappointment came when they warned me to keep the speed down because the car is fitted with a set of one-off show wheels that are a multipiece design and not what you would call Mopar Muscle stress test rated, therefore, no burnouts or high speed passes. As much as I wanted to see how far through the floorboard I could push the throttle pedal on the 425hp SRT8 Hemi and go through the gears, I knew this was a rare opportunity to drive one hell of a special car, and if I wanted to stay in the driver seat, I'd better follow the rules.
The Challenger concept's big doors gave me easy access to the supportive bucket seats, and the steering wheel is an excellent representation of the famous Mopar musclecar-era Tuff wheel and has an exceptional feel and location. I took advantage of the Challenger concept's power windows to lower all the windows, since this is a true hardtop. Then I sat there for a second drinking it all in: the legroom, the shifter location, the pedal position, and the instrument panel layout. Damn nice!
I reached forward to turn the key, and the powerful Hemi jumped to life. I reached down for the shifter and grasped the modern day Pistol Grip shifter--this shifter is not a '70s-era revolver grip, but a more modern Glock-style grip. I pushed it into first with a solid click and winged the throttle. Instantly, there was a throaty response out of the exhaust; it definitely sounds like a musclecar. As I forced myself to ease out the clutch and pull onto the track, a smile broke across my face as I realized I was actually driving the first new Dodge Challenger to be manufactured in over 30 years. This wasn't some throttled-down, solar-cell-powered "green" car, but a full-on, honkin', 425hp, 21st century, Hemi-powered musclecar. As I accelerated away and shifted into second, I could feel the power on tap. The shifts were short and smooth, and the feel of the modern Pistol Grip shifter is superior. I intentionally slowed down while in Third gear to see how the 425hp engine responded at a low rpm under a load. From an idle, it pulled strongly without a whimper or unfriendly chug. This engine in any of the current SRT8s is superb, but with six speeds of select your own gears, it's even better and a lot more fun.
As I was driving down the backstretch of the EVOC track, I glanced to the left to see a white Chevrolet pickup truck on the road outside that parallels the track. As I looked over, I could see a young guy hanging out of the passenger window with a big grin on his face and pumping his fist in the air as if he'd just scored the winning goal in a World Cup soccer match. He knew what he was looking at. I tried to be as cool as possible and casually waved back, but I felt like pumping my fist in the air too. I still can't wipe the silly grin off my face.
With its LX underpinnings, the Challenger concept has the solid road feel of an SRT8 Charger or Magnum. But it's more fun to drive with its six-speed manual transmission, and the exhaust has a definite rumble thanks to Flowmaster mufflers.
After what seemed like only a few laps around the track, I brought it back for the next lucky journalist to experience. as I forced myself to get out of the car, one thing came to mind--sweet, really sweet.
I kept asking the DaimlerChrysler executives whether or not Dodge plans to build the new Challenger, and I keep getting the reply that DaimlerChrysler does not talk about future production plans. But their recent record of taking a concept show car into production (e.g., Viper, PT Cruiser, Crossfire, and 300), gives me hope that they will, in fact, build another Challenger. And if it's anything close to the Challenger concept I just drove, put my name on the waiting list for a black one with a black interior.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Even though this is a modern musclecar, the Challenger concept has excellent road manners due to its solid LX platform. The wheels are a multipiece one-off design with 21x10-inch in the rear and 20x9-inch in the front. We're not sure if those sizes will remain on the production model, but, man, are they large.DaimlerChrysler's marketing team wanted to hear directly what automotive enthusiasts had to say about the new Challenger concept. While on the West Coast, they took it to three of Southern California's top cruise-ins: Bob's Big Boy in Toluca Lake, the Donut Derelicts in Huntington Beach, and the Crystal Cove in Newport Beach. At each location it drew a crowd like a fight in a schoolyard.The DCX staff on hand asked us to be gentle because this is the only concept prototype. if you ask us, gentle is a relative term.

I am trying to migrate from Openwebmail to Zimbra. I have tried a few scripts and found one that worked in testing. However, now that I have tested migrating all 250 users, I have since deleted the users who are not going live at the moment. During the initial testing, I was able to migrate 2 accounts successfully several times each time overwriting the folders with no duplicates. Now that I have migrated and deleted all 250 users I get duplicate, triplicate and sometimes sextuplicate of each e-mail being migrated. I am live with about 7 users now and some of them have even reported their contacts were duplicated as well. This all happened after I did the full migration and set the catchall.
My legacy server accepts all e-mails and there is a forward setup to go to an alias on the Zimbra server. Everything else has been working pretty good for the past 2 - 3 weeks. I can't migrate other users until I fix the duplicate etc entries. Could the catchall or the fact that I ran the migration test several times to work the bugs out be causing this issue? Perhaps I didn't delete the users correctly (i used the admin console to delete all of the users).
I used the owm2zcs script from Mail Migration - Zimbra :: Wiki
after creating all of the users from the passwd file.
Release 7.1.1_GA_3196.RHEL5_64_20110527011124 CentOS5_64 FOSS edition.
Not sure what information would be helpful since i am not getting any errors.

I can tell the truth now. I picked a novel for one of my book groups last month that I didn't think most people would like. Mind you, "liking" the book isn't a terribly high priority. We want to read and talk about books that have literary merit, are worthy of our time and effort and help us learn something about ourselves and our world.

Hi there
I have quite a few corrupted mboxgroups inside Zimbra´s MySQL and i´m following the procedure outlined HERE to try to recover them.
I did that in the past and it worked fine. Now i´m facing a problem with a Zimbra 7.1.4 installation, CentOS 5.7 64bits.
When running this step:
mysql zimbra < /tmp/mysql.sql/zimbra.sql
I´m getting this error:
ERROR 1071 (42000) at line 741: Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes
Line 741 says:

/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */;

If i change the "PRIMARY KEY" line to have only two fields for primary key, the statement works.
Any clues?

I am new to this site and to elk hunting. My father and I have gone the last 2 years. First we hunted Colorado. It was great spending time with my father in the mountains for 2 weeks, but we never even saw an elk. Last Fall we went to Pinedale Wyoming during the middle of October and again spent 2 weeks in the mountains. I was able to put a calf down on the last day, but that was all we saw.
Regardless, it was a trophy in my eyes and I was able to share that experience with my father who has taught me everything I know and love about the outdoors and conservation. We are going out again this fall and all my efforts are going towards helping my father put his first elk on the ground. I really love hunting the mountains out west, but the best part is spending that time with my father!!
I really look forward to meeting some of you and gaining more knowledge. We have always done DYI hunts.
Hope everyone has a safe year and remember to shoot often and shoot safe.

Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne have had their share of marriage problems, but now we're finding out just how bad it was! In Sharon Osbourne's new book, she's admitting that she discovered texts to drug dealers on Ozzy's phone that led her to find prescription drugs in their home. She writes: "I didn't feel anger, just an overwhelming sense of weariness. Here was my husband, sixty-bloody-four and still behaving like a teenage rock star. Ozzy had been clean seven years. It had taken so long to get there. So much heartache and pain. The saddest thing was telling the kids and our friends. But to keep it secret would have been worse." Sharon Osbourne also said that it wasn't until after a fight that included her selling his expensive sports cars that Ozzy Osbourne finally came clean about his secret drug abuse and asked for his wife's help. So glad that Sharon got him clean!

Kaley Cuoco is also breaking her silence on the comments that people are making about her getting engaged after just three months of dating Ryan Sweeting. Kaley Cuoco says she feels like she's known him her whole life, stating, "From day one I just knew immediately and it's been magic. We have all the same family friends. We grew up with the same people, we just never met. So I kind of feel that I've known him my whole life. I know that it seems a little crazy on paper, but it's what works for us." Can't help who you love!

|Burn wood safely to minimize impact
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
|Wednesday, 30 January 2013 13:06
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recently released tips for seasonal burning in fireplaces and wood stoves.
Local weather and topography contribute to temperature inversions that can trap pollutants close to the ground. Wood burning can make the problem worse, particularly if burning devices are poorly operated, not maintained or burning unseasoned firewood.
The department recommends following these tips to minimize the impact on health and air quality:
—Burn well-seasoned wood that has been stored properly and allowed to dry for several months. It will burn efficiently and produce little smoke.
—Never burn garbage, colored paper or chemically-treated wood.
—Burn small, hot fires, adding small amounts of wood as needed to keep the fire burning vigorously to reduce visible smoke and use fuel more efficiently.
—Clean and inspect stoves and fireplaces annually to prevent the buildup of creosote, a highly flammable and toxic substance responsible for most chimney fires.
Residents should never smell smoke in their homes, something that indicates the device is not operating safely or efficiently. Smoke contains many of the same pollutants as cigarettes and produces harmful carbon monoxide. Breathing wood smoke has been shown to increase cardiovascular problems, irritate lungs and eyes and trigger headaches.
For further info, contact the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Air Pollution Control Division at 303-692-3281.

LAKE CITY, Fla. - One man is dead after a police-involved shooting early Tuesday morning in Lake City.
The Lake City Police Department received a 911 call of disturbance around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.
As officers approached the door at a Windsong Apartment Complex apartment, Jeramey Sweeny, 30, came outside of the apartment with a handgun and pointed it at the officers, according to police.
Officers Brian Bruenger then drew his weapon and fired at Sweeny, killing him at the scene.
Both the state attorney's office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement responded to the scene and are assisting with the investigation.
Bruenger, Officer Garrett Register and Sgt. Larry Shallar were all placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure in these cases.
Bruenger is a five-year veteran of the Lake City Police Department, Register has been department for a year and a half, and Shallar is a veteran of 11 and a half years.

The PHA focused next on the development of a Position Statement, which is linked above, on Interdisciplinary Team Training in Geriatrics as an essential component of quality healthcare for older adults.
AACP joined five other national health professions associations and three private foundations to announce new competencies for interprofessional education in the health professions, as well as action strategies to implement them in institutions across the country. This press kit, which includes a fact sheet, speaker bios and examples of interprofessional education, was distributed to the media at a press conference held on May 10, 2011 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

I LOVE this scent!!! It's such a pleasant surprise. I personally love anything vanilla scented but there doesn't seem to be very many vanilla scents for men. Raw Vanilla is amazing! I wasn't too impressed with the top notes as they are somewhat generic men's fragrance scent; fresh and warm with barely a hint of vanilla. The magic only happens at the middle and base notes where the vanilla scent really comes through. The middle note of the fragrance has got a fresh, sweet smelling vanilla and this turns to a warmer, slightly woody vanilla scent at the base which is just perfect. The fragrance is not overly sweet or powdery smelling. It's just got the right mix of softness and masculinity to make it a great vanilla scent for men. It also last pretty long, ending off with just a light lingering touch after a long day. My only gripe is that it doesn't come with a spray. The bottle comes with a screw on cap which means you have just have to splash on the cologne. I prefer spraying my fragrances so this is easily solved be decanting it into a perfume atomiser. My shopping experience with FragranceX was great also. [...].Glad I found this site and Raw Vanilla! I highly recommend it! ;o)

I thought it was going to be more...vanilla. It's to faint of a scent to me. Almost as if I didn't know that it was vanilla, I wouldn't notice unless I was paying attention.
All in all it smells nice, just not the mouth watering vanilla explosion I was expecting.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama will salute volunteer efforts by former President George H.W. Bush on Monday and launch a task force to expand national service, a White House official said.
At a White House event, Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will honor the 5,000th "Daily Point of Light" award recognizing a volunteer or nonprofit service providing organization. Bush, who will attend, established the award in 1989 as part of his efforts to recognize and promote volunteer work and will be at the event.
The two presidents were last together at the dedication of the presidential library of Bush's son, former President George W. Bush, in April. Bush, 89, was confined to a wheelchair at that event.
The award is going to an Iowa couple, Floyd Hammer and Kathy Hamilton, who are the founders of a nonprofit that delivers free meals to children in the United States and around the world.
Former first lady Barbara Bush will also be attend the event. Afterward, the Bushes and the Obamas will have lunch together, a White House official said.
The meeting with the Bushes comes two weeks after the president participated at a event in Tanzania with former President George W. Bush.
Obama is expected to announce the creation of a new task force that will identify ways to enlist private sector support for national voluntary service, the White House official said.
In the past year, the government has created volunteer groups that work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency on disaster response and with the Education Department to improve school performance, the White House said.

Perhaps the most esteemed pediatrician of all time, Dr. Spock, recommended that children should be fed a vegetarian diet. Children do not have the stomach capacity, however, to thrive easily on a raw food diet. Vegan and vegetarian kids have been found to have higher IQs. Unfortunately, most doctors are not adequately educated about nutrition to be capable of giving worthy advice on it to parents. And parents have been found to overestimate the quality of their child's diet. One third of preschoolers are now constipated due to a lack of unrefined plant food consumption. Only 1 in 500 kids eats the equivalent of a single leaf of Romaine lettuce a day; the remaining 499 do not meet an even pitifully low goal for daily vegetable consumption. Apple juice is the number one source of fruit for toddlers in America, but nonorganic apple juice has been found to exceed fungal toxin safety levels. Children, infants, and fetuses are more susceptible to mercury poisoning from fish, and potential damage may include: microcephaly (brain shrinkage), delayed development, delayed cognition, and gross neurological disorders (see also here, here, here, here, here). Domoic acid, found extremely rarely in seafood, causes a certain type of amnesia and crosses the placenta, posing a substantial risk to infants and children. Processed meat, containing nitrites that can form carcinogenic nitrosamines, appears to increase the risk of childhood leukemia in children who eat it (see also here, here). A drug derived from periwinkle is used to treat childhood leukemia. Mothers who eat hot dogs during pregnancy appear to risk having children with brain tumors. Pregnant women who eat meat appear to have sons with decreased fertility. And toxoplasma parasites in meat can seriously adversely affect the developing brains of human fetuses. Kids born to moms who ate a lot of licorice when pregnant could suffer from diminished speech, visual, and memory skills. Ideally, infants under 3 months of age should only be fed breast milk and avoid eating foods such as beets. Breast-feeding mothers who took DHA supplements had children with better vision and higher IQs. Persistent organic pollutants are found at high levels in the breast milk of omnivores, as well as animal fat. But while they don't have to worry as much about persistent organic pollutants, nursing vegan mothers should take a vitamin B-12 supplement and get tested for a vitamin B-12 deficiency. Giving probiotics to kids reduces how often they get sick. Coconut oil emulsion shampoo is more effective for head lice treatment than the leading insecticide treatment. Soy can help prevent early onset puberty in girls, which increases the risk for breast cancer. Kids who eat animal-based protein and drink cow's milk begin puberty, on average, a year earlier (see also here). Other potential dangers to children include: school lunch meat treated with ammonia (otherwise known as pink slime), aluminum (found in cheese), arsenic (found in chicken), cell phone use (increases the odds of getting a brain tumor), artificial food colors (increases impulsivity, inattentiveness, and hyperactivity), pesticides such as DDT, placing children in shopping carts with raw meat, scented household products, Middle-Eastern teething powders, and lead sulfides burned to calm infants. During pregnancy as well as after birth, cutting down on meat consumption may reduce the risk of allergies in kids (see also here). Childhood asthma seems to be most influenced by meat intake and living with a smoker.

The first quarter saw the Bulldogs leap ahead early in the game, but the powerful Mason offense tied the game at 7-7 before leaping ahead 14-7 by the end of the first quarter.
Mason continued its onslaught in the second quarter increasing its score 28-7.
But the Bulldogs held in the third quarter to keep the score 28-7.
The final quarter saw Mason scoring once again on a 34-yard touchdown pass, edging the score against the Bulldogs 35-7. But the Bulldogs retaliated and finished the scoring with WEsley Guzman making the touchdown. The extra point failed, leaving the win to Mason, 35-13.

These surface winds are paired with opposite circulation aloft, like so:
Want to figure out wind, weather, and ocean current patterns for an arbitrary world?
I'm not a metrologist, nor do I even play one on TV. I do have an insatiable appetite for odd topics, especially geographically-related ones. The level of expertise I try for is enough to make a plausible fictional climate. And remember while I present this, that I'm mostly talking climate, not weather. Weather systems will override these average winds often. This tutorial should help you figure out believable winds across your own world map. Since he was asking about how to ensure a certain area really *would* be desert, I've started with Slipguard's planet Megalaos.
The general surface winds across an idealised globe, whose axis is vertical, and whose surface is uniform, would be something like this. (Non-idealized Megalaos used as a background).

These surface winds are paired with opposite circulation aloft, like so:
But our planet is tilted. Even our supposed planet-sized cue ball would only have winds like that on the fall and spring equinoxes. Those cells of circulation are driven by both rotation and sunshine. So in the northern hemisphere's summer, the pattern shifts north, until at northern midsummer it would look like so:
And in the northern winter the 'solar equator' is down at the Tropic of Capricorn. Here that's 23.5 degrees south latitude, since earth's axial tilt is 23.5 degrees. That's why I asked what Megalaos' tilt is. The more pronounced the tilt, the bigger the swing would be from summer to winter and back. Less tilt, somewhat more placid weather and climate both. Hmm - or maybe the term should be *even*, not necessarily calm. Midwinter like so:
Last edited by jbgibson; 09-19-2010 at 11:08 PM.
I'm assuming Megalaos' tilt is about like Earth's, for the sake of the argument. Ahhh, but neither Megalaos nor Earth have a uniform surface. Ocean and land soak up vastly different amounts of sunshine. Then there's ice.....
Our understanding of weather and climate is based thus far on ONE planet, so it's fair to figure for vastly differing surface conditions, the circulation would be different. I don't know how things would work on an ice world or a dried-up desert planet.
At any rate, what seems to happen is that in a given hemisphere's winter, there's a general high pressure concentrated over big land masses, at least those around the default high pressure peak of 30 degrees, shifted to follow this 'solar equator'. Smaller land masses, not so strong. In summer, things shift and the strongest highs wind up over ocean. In either case, if there's not much land under the belt of high pressure - what I labelled 'horse latitudes', then there are high pressure blobs over ocean. The pressure differences 'clump', so instead of a band of high, you get a string of ovoid regions of high. If you have a really big landmass the effect might be more pronounced - Earth's Eurasia, for instance. Megalaos' Boris continent isn't nearly as big as Eurasia.
High pressure, low pressure - who cares? Well, the pressure is relatively high or low based on what the air is doing. Look at the black-background globe above. See the air rising at the equator? Particularly if it's passed over ocean lately, that air is fairly wet, and rising, it cools. Cooling, it can hold less moisture, and it dumps a lot of it. There's a strong reason that equatorial areas tend to heavy rain. Coming back down, that's fairly dry air, hence the deserts on Earth that are around 30 degrees north and south. The other generally high pressure zone, with descending drier air, is at the poles. Antarctica may have kilometers of ice, but it's technically a desert.
OK, so straying even further into fantasy :-) ... in that I'm guessing even more, but it's all still plausible... we could figure Megalaos' seasonal highs and lows like so - winter first:
Last edited by jbgibson; 09-21-2010 at 01:08 PM.
Did I mention I stretched your map to show 1 1/3 diameters? Makes it easier for me to visualize this stuff if I'm not having to mentally wrap vectors left edge to right edge. I'm also assuming the north and south edges of your world map don't run all the way to the poles.
Since I don't want to presume to repost someone else's map, here's Paidixira and Megalaos. Well, except for the fact I am using a simplified Megalaos map as the base for the first part of this tut :-).... I have been referring to the continent map further down that thread for climate preferences - the one where The Cusp is mostly desert.
Now, given that these highs and lows space themselves out apart from one another, there's multiple arrangements that would be about as plausible. Knowing that you want the midwest of Paidixira to be dry, we'll say that's where the main continental high lurks. I'll go further in a minute, but like you can guess from the way the wind bands slant, northern hemisphere highs have an outflow that spirals clockwise. So a high over western Paidixira leaves that dry-ish air curving down across the SE of the continent too - I see you have a desert across The Cusp. We try to accomodate :-). Air crossing land doesn't add much moisture, so there's not a lot of rain there in the SE. Those crisp Times Roman highs and lows are in reality very blobby, and shift around. Maybe some of the winter half of the year there's two weak highs, one on either end of the continent.
In the (northern) summer, you might get an arrangement like so:
Last edited by jbgibson; 09-20-2010 at 01:36 AM.
The N hemisphere lows are counter-clockwise spiraling inflow. I can plausibly imagine a couple of weak lows bracketing Paidixira like shown, or one larger one more centered on it. In either case, the combination of clockwise outflow on a high and counterclockwise inflow on a low still conspire to drag wet air across those mountains to dry it out before it gets to the desired deserts. I'm thinking the pair get the SE dryer, so your depicted The Cusp desert is sensible.
I'm sitting here twisting imaginary airmasses with my hand above the screen. Son #3 is asking if I'm drawing doorknobs :-). It's time to do some more realistic wind than those idealized belts. Southern hemisphere highs and lows keep the same in vs out, only the spiraling is opposite-handed. Crossing the equator you can apparently get a shifting of 'handedness' of the curve to the winds, thanks to the coriolis force. Another rule of thumb I haven't mentioned is that equatorial belt labeled as the doldrums on the ideal globe is more of a trough than a string of pits, if you want to visualize pressure as height ("low", "high" - works for me). And the effective line of that 'solar equator' is called the intertropical convergence zone, and bends farther away from the real equator over land than it does over water. The 60-degree(-ish) low area can be a trough too, especially in a hemisphere's winter. Honest, I got all that stuff from climate and metrology books & sites... any wrongness is me, any rightness is luck, or somebody else's research.

Make some arrows. Hmm - The bigger ones will do for a crude set of vectors. I used smaller ones for a lot of detail on the Aurora Wind Maps (see far below), and it drove me nuts. You guys who can drop in a curve with arrowhead with a couple of clicks, please do so and make prettier pictures than this.
Done my clunky way, dupe a bunch of those - enough for each high and low. Or get one low about right and dupe THAT for the other lows.
By the way - I dunno if there's a convention for a software-agnostic tutorial. I'll note each time I have created a bunch of something I go back and collect all of those on a single layer.
I do the lows first, since the arrowheads are at known locations (next to the symbol):
Last edited by jbgibson; 09-19-2010 at 10:29 PM.
Now - inflow to the lows has to come from one high or another. Just start filling in the map with flow, remembering highs source clockwise (in the northern hemisphere. Whoops - that thought reminds me: I have already loused up the southern Lows - they spiral the other way. Siiiigh. I illustrate this to make the point it's easy to get carried away and do all alike... :
At least fixing handedness is a simple horizontal flip.

Baltimore Line Dancers Celebrate Creativity at Annual Dance Awards Ceremony
As Hollywood was gearing up for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards during the weekend of Jan. 24-26, nearly 1,000 Baltimore line dancers converged on the Marriott in Linthicum, for the 7th Annual UC Star Awards, dubbed "the Academy Awards of Line Dancers" by event founder Mike Womack.
"Folks from all the major cities, Puerto Rico and Ireland, are here to celebrate what we do all year," said Womack, who, along with his wife Trish Womack, helped form the Baltimore-based Union Crew (UC) Line Dancers in 2005.
Womack, of Baltimore, is the cousin of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer Bobby Womack.
Gloria Stevens, of Silver Spring, said participating in dance troupes has been a healthy lifestyle choice since she retired after a 30-year career as a special education administrator.
"It keeps your mind sharp, in addition to the obvious health benefits," she said.
Wilma Wright, 58, of Cerritos, Cal., flew in with her group, the J&J Soulful Steppers of Los Angeles.
"We wouldn't miss this for the world. It gives us a chance to reunite with our brothers and sisters of dance," said Wright, a Hamilton, Ohio, native and former classmate of the late music legend Roger Troutman of the Zapp band. "Really, it's like a family reunion, a love-fest for dancing. People are so friendly and warm."
LeMetia Butler, 29, joined fellow Houstonians, adding that their Texas-style flavor is uniquely welcomed at the convention.
"We all learn from each other," said the social services administrator. "That's the beauty of this event."
Though many dancers primarily dance to mixed versions of classic soul and 1990s R&B songs, younger participants chose hip hop beats from artists such as Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz and Drake, with the expletives removed.
A Gospelcise program by Cleveland resident Belinda Haywood focused on faith-based fitness. Haywood started her program in 1993 and was considered one of the most innovative choreographer/instructors at the convention.
Womack said his line dancers are anything but typical of the genre.
"We're aware of and respect the original L.A. and N.Y. hustles, the Bus Stop, Monarail, Electric Slide and country line dancing. Ours is slightly more technical, complicated and very challenging," said Womack, adding that The Madison (circa 1950s), is generally considered the original line dance.
Womack also credited the late Dave Bush, of Philadelphia, for being the Godfather of urban line dancers. Bush, who died last May, is also known as the creator of the recent dance craze, the Wobble.
Womack said he was inspired to honor line dancers after watching the Academy Awards, the BET Awards and the Grammys. The event honored dancers, choreographers and instructors.
"[I] realized that our line dancing should be considered as more than just a way for people to dance and party," he said. "Just like the awards shows on TV, we figured it was time to organize and award our people for their skills, talents and commitment."
