MDR3 Deficiency
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report MDR3 Deficiency is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
MDR3 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that predominantly affects the liver. The disorder represents a spectrum of diseases that can range from mild to severe. The main symptom is interruption or suppression of the flow of bile from the liver (cholestasis). In addition, affected individuals may be prone to forming gallstones. Cholestasis in MDR3 deficiency occurs due to defects within the liver (intrahepatic) rather than within the bile ducts outside the liver (extrahepatic). Cholestasis can cause yellowing of the skin mucous membranes and whites of the eyes (jaundice), failure to thrive, growth deficiency, easy bleeding, rickets and persistent itchiness. Symptoms may be present in the neonatal period rather than at birth (congenital) or, in mild cases, may not appear until middle age when the disorder manifests as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, gallstone disease, or jaundice and scarring of the liver (cirrhosis). MDR3 deficiency is caused by mutations of the ABCB4 gene and is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
The terminology used to describe MDR3 deficiency can be confusing. The term can be applied to several disorders including progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) type 3, benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) type 3, low phospholipid associated cholelithiasis (LPAC) syndrome, adult biliary fibrosis or cirrhosis, and certain cases of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), of drug induced cholestasis (DIC) and of transient neonatal cholestasis (TNC). These disorders are all caused by mutations of the ABCB4 gene and resulting deficiency of MDR3.

|Phillips County hog wins Tri-State Royal
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
County Fair success continued for sixth grader Austin Vieselmeyer when he entered his Grand Champion Market Hog from the Phillips County Fair in the Tri-State Royal in Goodland, Kan. Saturday, Aug. 8.
About 25 county fair champion pigs from Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska were judged in one class, with Vieselmeyer's cross-bred hog named "Girly" winning top honors.
The effort earned Vieselmeyer a big belt buckle with blue flames.
Vieselmeyer plans to keep Girly. She will be a breeding gilt to raise show pigs for Austin and his brother Alex, a third grader.
The Vieselmeyer brothers and their parents, Brent and Tina, appreciate the change in county rules this year to give youth the opportunity to exhibit at the Tri-State Royal and to represent this county.
Appreciation was noted for the commissioners, junior livestock committee and fair board for implementing the rule change.
Grand Champion pigs, breeding beef, market beef, goats and sheep can be entered in the Royal, and showman winners may also participate in the Tri-State event.
The Tri-State Royal is not a new arena for Brent Vieselmeyer, as he judged sheep, pigs and cattle there a number of years ago when he was a judging coach/grad student at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.
The Royal is held at the end of the Sherman County Fair in Goodland, and offers the chance for kids to see a nice variety of quality animals.
HHS sophomore Mariah Struckmeyer joined the Vieselmeyer family in their trip to the Royal, taking the opportunity to experience another level of judging. She showed cattle at the county fair, and wanted to see what the Vieselmeyers had been talking about when describing the Royal.
Austin had an extensive success story from this year's Phillips County Fair. Not only did he show the Grand Champion (GC) pig for the second straight year, he also had the GC breeding beef for the third straight year and the GC market beef, having earned Reserve GC for the previous two years.
Austin entered his GC heifer "True" and his GC steer "Ears" in the Tri-State Royal.
About 20 steers were judged in two classes, and Ears made the top-three cut in his class, but was not in the top-three overall. Thirteen heifers were judged in one class, and the top three were cited.
Ears and True will both be taken to the State Fair this year, according to Austin. He looks forward to that event later this month.
Alex Vieselmeyer took one of his state fair pigs, Little Red, to the Tri-State Royal. Entered in the Old Pro Class for all species, the event was open to all ages. Judging was on the animal only, not showmanship.
Hoping to encourage youth to look at opportunities available to them, the Vieselmeyers welcome any chance to talk more about the Tri-State Royal and other judging competitions.

Davies Takes the Mound
Kyle Davies was officially recalled from Omaha Saturday and makes his first start of the season for the club tonight facing Cleveland's C.C. Sabathia (3-6, 4.74 ERA).
To make room for Davies on the roster, we designated catcher Brayan Pena for assignment. Pena was a waiver claim Friday from the Atlanta Braves. We now have 10 days to place him on waivers, trade him or release him.
Back to Davies…the right-hander posted a 6-2 mark with a 2.06 ERA (Pacific Coast League-leading) in 10 starts for the O-Royals. He allowed just 13 earned runs in 56.2 innings pitched, giving up 47 hits, walking 20 and striking out 37. In his most recent start for the Triple-A team, he allowed just one run on five hits in seven innings to lead Omaha to a 4-1 victory over Round Rock on Monday. Omaha was 8-2 in his 10 starts.

APA Smoker Dont's
1. In a year that I was not on the search committee, I endured roughly 40 minutes of being spoken to by a job candidate about how if she were to get the job, she'd be willing to serve on my dissertation committee, because the person in my department who worked in my area (viz., me!) was "too narrow."
2. In that same year, a candidate walked away from me, as I was mid-sentence in responding to a question he asked, when one of my colleagues (on the search committee) finally arrived to the table.
3. I once saw a near fist-fight erupt among two candidates over who was "next in line" to sit in the chair next to where the department chair was seated.
49 comments:
May I ask whether showing up at the interviewing department's table really is expected in the normative sense of 'expected'? I hate that shit, it's for the birds, and it seemed so fucking unreasonable to have to show up in a crowded, loud place just to kiss somebody's ass that I blew it off. Do people really count it against someone that he/she didn't show up for that? You've really got to be kidding me.
- December 7, 2009 at 12:01 AM
A story from last year: I showed up to a suite interview last year with my luggage. The interview seemed to go well, and at the end they asked if I was going to be at the smoker. I explained that while I wish I could be there, I had a minor emergency back home that I had just found out about so I was leaving on a train immediately after the interview. They said no problem and that they understood.
I wasn't given an on-campus interview. Our placement director was friends with the most junior member of the search committee. It seems that the chair of the committee didn't think I was serious about the position because I wasn't attending the smoker. Seriously. This place was kind of f-ed up anyway, but take that for what it's worth.
- December 7, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Anyway, leaving aside the cases in which candidates show up drunk and make fools of themselves,
Oh, c'mon; those are the ones I wanted to hear about. Surely, you have at least one interesting eye-witness account. Tease.
Also, I too am willing to serve on your dissertation committee to compensate for the narrowness of that guy in your department.
- December 7, 2009 at 5:40 AM
APA smoker don'ts? How about, don't go?
- December 7, 2009 at 7:21 AM
I've never been to a table to rub the elbows and kiss the butt. Last year was my first and only interview at the Eastern. The school I interviewed with didn't have a table, but I was told that some members of the department might be at the smoker floating around. I saw them and they saw me, but I couldn't get any of them to talk to me. Not a good sign. Went to my grad department's table to see some old profs and friends. They were busy chatting up candidates. Relatively well known prof. who used to work there but left for a better place dropped by, but was shunned by all former colleagues. To save face, he had to strike up a conversation with me. Success! First time the guy hadn't run from me like a leper in years. After he left and the candidates left, remaining former profs all noted how desperate he must have been to have to lower himself to talk to a former grad student for a full five minutes. Agreed. That was the highlight of the Eastern. I'm sure this year will be different as there will be more of us who have no reason to stay sober at the smoker. Can't wait.
Oh, and on the second night I was told that I didn't make the cut to the campus interview stage. I was top twelve when I went and nothing in any of the interviews changed the ranking and only the top five or six make it to campus. It's hard to justify the significant debt racked up on credit cards to one interview with a department in short driving distance from where you live, but I guess that you have to do.
- December 7, 2009 at 8:33 AM
I used to take a perverse pleasure in not getting any APA interviews b/c it meant I could get drunk with impunity at the smoker.
- December 7, 2009 at 11:58 AM
Can anyone defend use of the smoker for any job search purposes? Not just in a 'I can defend anything, let me show you' but in a 'I really think it is a good idea to carry job search inquiry further at the smoker'?
- December 7, 2009 at 1:35 PM
I speak for many when I request that we don't engage in any kind of serious discussion about the merits of the smoker. We demand SMOKER STORIES!!! There is too much high potential for high jinx!
- December 7, 2009 at 2:19 PM
Several of the students on the market one year (at a Leiter top 15 school) didn't have many APA interviews. As a result, our Schmooz-meister placement chair decided to arrange some "impromptu interviews" at the Smoker. These consisted of conversations with a very drunk member of the faculty of a school that was hiring for 4 VAP jobs that year. Of course, the department in question had already decided not to interview the students in question for any of these positions. And it wasn't even clear that their drunken representative was on the hiring committee. Lucky thing I didn't refrain from my own drunkenness for this "interview."
- December 7, 2009 at 4:35 PM
"I used to take a perverse pleasure in not getting any APA interviews b/c it meant I could get drunk with impunity at the smoker."
My friend PA, I share your passion.
- December 8, 2009 at 12:41 AM
I hail from another area of academia (not Philosophy, but we do share the APA acronym - hint), and I cannot believe that this "smoker" business occurs! It seems totally unfair, and borderline illegal to expect people to travel to a conference for an "informal interview" that is actually mandatory. I'm glad we don't do this!
- December 8, 2009 at 1:00 AM
Here is a suggestion and I am curious to hear what people think:
don't go.
Honestly--is it /really/ true that a school who otherwise is thrilled about a candidate will change their mind if said candidate is not at the smoker?
I doubt it.
- December 8, 2009 at 2:23 PM
I seem to remember that the beer at the smoker was moderately cheaper than at the fancy hotel bar at the hotel in Philly. The schools I interviewed at told me that they wouldn't be at the smoker - so I went for cheaper beer, because after my interviews that day I wanted to get lit and maybe run into someone I went to undergrad with. I actually had a fun time of it because I walked around, knowing nary a soul, trying to convince everyone I could that what they *really* needed was a medievalist (my specialization). I had lots of fun doing this, because I was be ironic and all, sort of making fun of the whole thing. It's a horrorshow for those who feel compelled to go to this or their flyout is on the line. In the end I found a pretty interesting group of philosophers to go out drinking with, and we all closed down a cheaper place. All in all, about the best smoker experience I could have hoped for.
- December 8, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Is a "near fist fight" one of those squealing fits where all close their eyes and swing their hands wildly near each other without actually hitting? Because that's what I'm picturing.
- December 9, 2009 at 11:07 AM
When are we going to have a snarky and mostly anonymous thread about the philosophy survey results?
- December 9, 2009 at 6:17 PM
A couple of years ago, I was on a search committee and the person we hired got the offer because of his behavior at the smoker. Had he not attended, he wouldn't have gotten the job. Of course, that's just one person's story. But I really think people shouldn't get the impression that going to the smoker really doesn't matter at all.
- December 9, 2009 at 9:18 PM
9:18 --
So, how exactly did he behave? Was it his gift at carrying on a conversation in a noisy and crowded ballroom that convinced you he would be the perfect phenomenologist, or philosopher of religion, or historian of early analytic, or what-have-you, for your department? What did he do at the smoker that he couldn't have done at the interview?
- December 9, 2009 at 10:59 PM
Notice the male pronouns in 9:18's comment. Aren't we kidding ourselves in acting as if the smoker is not a seriously problematic aspect of philosophy's gender problem? Such informal "networking" through which the real (men's) business is done is textbook structural sexism, and I'm amazed that an academic discipline that prides itself on seeing through appearances could tolerate such a thing for long.
- December 10, 2009 at 1:29 AM
Anon 9:18,
I'm sure most of us aren't under the impression that the smoker doesn't matter at all. Most of us are under the impression that (1) it usually hurts more than helps and (2) that is SHOULDN'T matter at all either way.
- December 10, 2009 at 7:45 AM
If you are implying that women are somehow at a disadvantage when informally 'networking,' then your views on 'structural sexism' seem pretty superficial.
- December 10, 2009 at 10:15 AM
Are you serious? You can't be serious. It's people like you who not only make me want to leave academia, but also make me want to send my kids to a good trade school instead of college.
Do you really want to know why philosophy has a "gender problem"? Go talk to most female undergraduates in philosophy. Most of them have absolutely zero interest in going to graduate school. You know why? Here's a hint, it's not because they see the field as sexist or some other ridiculous reason.
Most women are very practical. Why the hell would they spend all of this time getting a PhD when the end result of receiving that PhD is a really tough time getting any sort of job, and, even if they get one, it doesn't pay that well and is Nowheresville USA.
Look at our discipline. The vast majority of academics are complete and total slackers (and they enter this field knowing that they can be slackers). Get a job, work hard for 6-10 years and get tenure, then do little of value until the school has to wheel you out (literally). (Blah blah blah there are people who have tenure that are still working hard. Fine. They're the significant minority.) These sort of practices are not tolerated in any other industry. Wonder why every year people outside of academia say, "Well, there's a lot of old people who need to retire in academia...so they'll be lots of jobs soon." They've been saying that for the last 25 years. Old academics never retire. I've been in 3 departments where at least 3 or 4 members of each department should have retired at least 10 years before I got there. If they were working for a company, law firm, etc., their asses would have been thrown out on the street.
Why would any intelligent woman enter this field? She knows that her hard work can net her significantly more money elsewhere. More money provides greater security when it comes to her own life and the lives of those in her family. "Well, maybe she really likes philosophy but doesn't want to do it because everyone in philosophy is so sexist!!!" Come on. The sexism in academia pales in comparison to other fields (e.g. law) that have no problems attracting women in droves. Most women fail to see the practical value of doing philosophy past a certain point (probably because there is none...but this is for a different rant), and so they stop doing it.
Oh, and if you're thinking I'm making all of this crap up, I'm not. I've been a part of 3 departments where we conducted _significant_ surveys of our undergraduates on this very subject. It was not one of those BS surveys that pop up on Leiter's page where you're just surveying a bunch of like-minded academics. Over a couple of years, we surveyed over 1000 undergraduates in introductory philosophy courses (philosophy wasn't required) and then resurveyed those who continued in philosophy and those who changed majors (asking why they changed, and asking those who continued whether they were interested in going to graduate school and, if not, why not).
The results of these surveys were published internally in each case, but there was no interest in publishing the results externally. Why? Because either (1) many philosophers already know why there is a gender imbalance [the reasons stated above] or (2) those who think that this gender imbalance in philosophy is due to inherent sexism would either (a) refuse to believe the results, (b) think we somehow skewed/messed up the survey, (c) think that we were probably sexists in the department and so we'd get results that reflected these sexist tendencies. Perhaps this data should be published for non-philosophers? Please, no one outside of philosophy cares.
I usually don't post and I am sorry for the rant, but it's tiring to hear the same sort of garbage from people who have never even bothered to ask undergraduate females why they don't go to graduate school in philosophy.

A few of these comments (Anon Dec 7 12:28 and Anon Dec 9 9:18) have just served to remind me that academic hiring is a clusterf--k and there is no point in trying to figure out what you should or shouldn't do. From various quarters, I have received piles of contradictory advice on every conceivable aspect of the job search process: Yes, send stuff the ad didn't request; it shows you're interested. No, don't send stuff the ad didn't request; it shows you don't value their time. Do tons of research on what the people interviewing you do; it shows that you aren't self-involved. Don't bother doing that; they want to talk about you, not themselves. Approach people who interviewed you at the smoker; they expect this and want to talk to you. Leave them alone at the smoker; they want to catch up with their grad school friends and get drunk. Etc. etc. etc. The bottom line is that no one knows what the hell anyone else expects from candidates; they only know what they personally and their department expects from candidates.
So can we not talk about whether you should go to the smoker or not (because the answer is clearly "Yes, it's crucial, except that no, it's pointless") and get back to funny stories about people punching each other? Please?

Quite apart from how 'practical' we women folk are, perhaps someone should protest the claim that people in our discipline are all slackers (with the counter-argument preemptive admission that some few of us are not)?
I really wonder if this sort of belief is the result of graduate work? In other words, if this is how grad students see their own professors' lives and attitudes?
- December 11, 2009 at 3:34 PM
Actually, it seems like it's how us professors not only view many of their colleagues, but how we also view ourselves. Many of us appreciate our free time and so we'd never want to work the hours of someone in the corporate world. The trade off is less pay. However, should we be expected to work 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, 300+ days a year? I don't think so... especially since we're not getting paid to work that much. Our we slackers? Maybe. Are we justified in this slacking? Probably so.
- December 11, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Looking around, I think many of my colleagues work far more than 9/5/300+ schedules. They value their flexibility -- they don't always start at 9 in the morning and end at 5 in the evening -- but they're far more likely to work late in the evening, on weekends, and so on. As a matter of policy I try to work 9-5 hours (to keep time for my family), and these colleagues seem to do a lot more than I am able to.
- December 12, 2009 at 1:59 AM
As one of my colleagues likes to say: faculty members have a lot of freedom...freedom to work all the time.
Yes, there are slackers -- as there are in any profession -- but most faculty members seem to work relentlessly -- on weekends, holidays, evenings, early mornings, long days, summers. The luxury is that we have the freedom to do much of that at home and on schedules of our own making.

Back to the OP:
I hope it is not a widely held view that candidates are supposed to/expected to show at the smoker or that they are expected to go around schmoozing.
When I was in grad school, the idea was that this was a social event and that people from programs doing interviews were willing to spend a bit of informal time with candidates who wanted to stop by.
- December 14, 2009 at 6:22 PM
And does this mean that those of us who are both (a) female and (b) philosophers are 'impractical'?
And if you are practical and a philosopher, you are male.
Logic is so useful!

That's a neat trick, 7:10. In fact, by 2:12's reasoning, the principle of explosion would allow you to infer from "you are practical and a philosopher," not just that you are male, but also that you are a sheep, or General Motors, or an honest politician. Logic and magic don't rhyme for nothing.
- December 14, 2009 at 7:20 PM
Re. 6:22: job candidates are expected to show up at the smoker in case anyone who interviewed them wants to seek them out; but there's no need to seek out those who interviewed you (and it's rarely advisable)

Uhoh. But, I have children! And I'm sure I am too old for a sex-change.
I guess this means I get to be utterly impractical from now on. WHEE.

When I had just finished my PhD and was on the job market myself, I still spent a lot of time at the smoker hanging out with folks from the school I'd dissertated at (I'll just call it School X) since I was going on as a candidate from School X. But my nametag said School Y because I had a part-time position at a smaller (and far less prestigious) school.
School X was hiring two searches that year ---
Anyway, everyone from School X went out for dinner and I left early b/c my newborn daughter was fussy and so I went with my wife to put her down. Then I went down to the smoker arriving their before the other folks who were still at dinner.
So I was for a while the only person holding down School X's table. During that time a couple of the candidates approached and were perfectly friendly assuming (correctly and obviously) that I was a grad or recent post-grad affiliated with School X. One candidate came by, and before introducing himself, GRABBED MY NAME TAG ON MY SHIRT, scrutinized it and said, "Now why are you here at School X's table?"
I wanted to say, "Uh to tell everyone you just interviewed with that you're a total douche-bag."
- December 28, 2009 at 12:51 PM
That's a great smoker story. Here's mine, though it goes back a way. As I was threading my way through the scrum of beer-guzzling humanity, trying to schmooze with my old graduate friends, a faculty member from a school where I'd interviewed earlier that same day buttonholed me. Clearly blitzed, he informed me that my interview had been a smash success and that I would be receiving a campus interview. As this was shaping up to be my only flyback that year, at a good school, I was ecstatic. You see where this is going. After the window for getting a campus interview had closed, I called the chair of the hiring committee, who told me that the faculty member wasn[t even 'technically on the hiring committee' and was a notorious loose cannon. There had never been any intention of a flyback.
As a veteran of multiple hiring committees myself, I try my best to avoid the smoker, which is horrible. It's OK to catch up with old friends and network. For the candidate, it's nightmarish and Hobbesian. If a good candidate doesn't show up, not only do I not hold it against him/her, but if anything I grant the person a modicum of nerve and common sense.
- December 28, 2009 at 2:01 PM
One possible reason to attend the smoker: to find out how well your interview went. Over several rounds on the job market, I've been able to predict whether I'd get a fly-out with 100% accuracy based on how pleased the interviewers looked to see me. (Although see Anon 2:01's anecdote!)
- December 28, 2009 at 2:45 PM
About Sexism and Smokers:
When there are an equal amount of women interviewing/schmoozing at smokers, then women won't be at a disadvantage. Women TEND not to feel as comfortable in these settings, for obvious reasons. And SOME of the ones that are comfortable are for sad or bad reasons (they don't mind being hit on by old nerds that feel entitled to a little casual sexism now and then because they're not nearly as bad as the jocks that pooped on them in high school OR they're the sort of woman that don't mind exploiting sex for professionalism advantages).
By the way, I move everyone drop that one guy's point about women being more practical. Sure, it's a bad argument, but that doesn't mean that women aren't disadvantaged here, and I suggest it's more important to discuss that than repeatedly beat up a poorly thought out tangential comment someone made (I mean, I'm sure we can boost our philosophical self-esteem some other way today, right?).
- December 28, 2009 at 3:55 PM
Anon 3:55 adds:
Just to clarify: I meant to say women won't be at a disadvantage when there are an equal amount of women FACULTY doing the interviewing and so forth.
- December 28, 2009 at 3:59 PM
Forgive a silly European philosopher, but what is a `smoker'? Judging from the above comments it sounds like a lot of fun. For some. And probably serves as an effective filter to screen off candidates. Just like the bubonic plague.
- December 28, 2009 at 5:47 PM
As a woman on the job market for the first time, with interviews both today and tomorrow, let me point out that the discussion of women in this thread has been painful, disheartening, and depressing.
Seriously, if this is the best that we, as philosophers, can muster in an anonymous forum, there's something wrong. I shouldn't have to see ridiculous screeds about the (apparently) immutable traits of the feminine kind on a blog like this -- it hurts, it sucks, and it's beneath us as professionals.

There's an awful lot of strongly worded, table pounding pronouncement in the above. Some of it is right, some generalizing from the worst case to the universal, some completely silly. Neve rmind.
As someone who has been involved in both placement and hiring for 20 years - placement every year, hiring about a third of them - here's my take on the original question and a few issues that came up above.
The smoker is useless for schmoozing. No one changes their view of someone they either didn't interview, or who they thought did a bad job, on the basis of your coming to the table. No one expects this either. This talk of departments wanting you to "kiss ass" is utter nonsense. I have never met a single person who liked having someone come talk to kiss ass, etc. We are generally catching up with old students, old friends, etc. and would prefer to do that to an awkward conversation with someone we don't know.
What is useful in terms of committee-candidate interaction is further conversation with people who are serious candidates, but about whom we have questions. Interviews are short. There are often unanswered questions - about whether your interests really fit department goals, about aspects of your research, about whether you can go further in talking about your work than you did in the interview, in some cases about what we can do to interest you in the job. That is why we - I'm just speaking for my department, but I think this is pretty generally true - might ask you to come by. And real things are learned from such conversations. So of course you should go if asked - and I can't see anything illegal, inappropriate or sexist about that in itself. (Of course it could be any of those depending on how it is done.)
The other useful thing at the smoker is getting a chance to catch up with friends and colleagues now scattered around the world. (cf why just coming to "kiss ass" is not welcome.) Sometimes this involves candidates. Even if a department doesn't hire someone, some memebers of that department might want to know the person as a colleague, to know about their work in the future, etc.
So overall, my advise is - don't sit down unless invited. Fine to say hi, but fine not to. If invited, go. There is probably a reason. But be aware of cues that it is time to leave.

A few years ago, when my husband was on the job market, I went to the APA with him. He interviewed at several schools. Since I'm no philo, I have to find ways to amuse myself at the smoker. So...I went up to one of the tables (for a school he interviewed with) and told them how much I enjoyed their interview. Priceless...the looks on their face, as they frantically tried to recall my interview. I did let them in on the joke, and then sat and talked to them a bit. One ended up asking me what kind of philo I *do*. Hilarious, that throwing out terms like Justified True Beliefs with No Defeaters and Causal Connections duped them! Big Fun.

Will My House Plans include Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC Details?
The home plans published by The House Plan Shop are considered stock plans or pre-drawn blueprints designed to meet the national building codes in place at the time each was created. They do not necessarily meet any state, county or municipal building codes. Furthermore, pre-drawn house plans do not include extensive information regarding HVAC, electrical and plumbing details.
Information about the HVAC will be determined locally. The HVAC system will depend on the climate, types of unit(s) you use, and the size of your home/amount of finished living space to be heated and cooled. Necessary ductwork will be determined by the type of heating and cooling system selected and local building codes. Discuss and review all HVAC information with your local HVAC professional or your contractor.
While some stock home plans include a simple electrical plan indicating the suggested locations of outlets, switches and fixtures, it will be up to your builder or local electrician to install all electrical elements according to local electrical code. Take time to review the electrical information and details with your builder or electrician before construction begins.
Finally, plumbing fixtures are included in stock house plans. However, the blueprints will not reflect a plumbing schematic. The sewer system and flow of water lines are site specific and must be determined by local professionals. Talk with your plumber or contractor to discuss plumbing details.

More Hot Rods At The Grand National Roadster Show- More To See At The GNRSWritten by on June 1, 2009 Suede Opinion & Drive-in Cruisin'
It's funny how times and attitudes change. Take the "traditional" section of our hobby for instance, be it rods or customs. It wasn't that long ago that they were shunned at mainstream shows. I talk from firsthand experience as my own trad '29 A-V8 roadster received many unfavorable comments in the mid to late '80s until it was painted. But in recent years we've seen a shift in attitudes and it's good to see a promoter like John Buck making space for, and encouraging participation by this segment. Of course you could say these mainly younger builders somewhat hold the key to the future of the hobby too!
Under the capable organizational skills of Alex and Celeste from the Shifters CC, the Suede Palace at the GNRS has grown in both numbers and stature over the past couple of years, with a healthy showing of not just suede cars, but very nicely finished painted and detailed traditional rods and customs, with nary a "shock value" rat rod in sight. Okay, so a couple may have slipped in under the radar in the outside display, which comprised around 100 cars on the Saturday despite the inclement weather, but inside the Suede Palace the showing was very respectable across the board, from original old roadsters to kustoms and gassers, all vying for one of the unique trophies hand-made by some of the participating clubs.
On Saturday and Sunday the courtyard and areas between the buildings were filled with hot rods and customs that braved the cloudy skies and the bit of rain that came with them. We were surprised at the large number that showed up Saturday morning despite the less than rosy weather when they rolled in. Lots of hardcore rodders that don't mind driving their cars-just the kind of people we like to hang out with.

Richard Freng received an R&C Drive-In award on Sunday for his cool '39 Tudor. The missing hood allows access to a tri-carbed full house Flattie.Michael Chavez was one of the few owners who brought his car out for both days of the Drive-In show. His very cool '65 Riviera sported a red 'flake roof and tastefully accented and 'striped black paint, all rolling on Supremes and narrow whitewalls. We selected the Riv for one of our R&C Drive-In awards.The Beatniks were represented by Jack Rudy's '52 Chevy sedan, sparkling in its recent fogged metalflake paint, applied by Brad Masterson. Retaining much of its trim but with mild body mods such as peaked headlights and shaved handles, it's dropped but not chopped.Mike Woodley's shoebox is now a hardtop and uses an S10 clip and rear axle, small-block Chevy and airbags all round. The transplanted Merc grille surround is filled with an abbreviated Riviera front bumper.The towing brackets on the front axle of Tony Miller's '24 turtledeck T are a neat touch, along with the aluminum hood and belly pan looking way better in their natural finish than painted.Tracy Ledford brought his '31 coupe down from Merced. The coupe runs a six pack-fed 392 Chrysler Hemi backed by a Torqflite and '58 Ford rearend. Reversed '50 Merc steels keep the '32 frame off the floor.With "KAOS Special II" lettered on one side, and the steering exiting the cowl on the other, Mark Nimmo's '29 coupe was a great looking hot rod. The three twos on an early intake and rams horn exhausts set the period for the Chevy motor, continued throughout the car.Johnnie Walker took Best of Show honors in the Suede Palace for his '32 five window. Rolling on kidney bean Halibrands, the blisters set amongst the louvers on the custom hood sides are both unique and necessary to clear the 331ci Chrysler Hemi's rare Parker valve covers. For a closer look you can check out the feature on our web site in the Featured Cars section about 16 pages back.
If you'd suggested a mix of suede and gloss paint a few years back, you'd have received some odd looks, and as for mixing suede with 'flake...? But it works, as evidenced on this chopped 'n' dropped '50 Chevy.Art Moore from nearby Upland knows how to draw a crowd of traditional rod aficionados! I probably had to wait longer to snap his coupe than any other, even indoors, but a tri-carbed banger motor will have 'em gawping for a while.Russell McBurney's '55 Buick Century looked all the better for keeping its trademark side trim, despite extensive shaving elsewhere, and took a club pick too. White rolls and pleats mark this satin-finished mild kustom as finished.Keith Griffin's '27 employed some interesting ideas, such as a bell crank in the steering system to reverse the wrong-way steering box mounted high in the cowl, along with a con-rod for a Pitman arm, and what looked like motorcycle mufflers in the four-into-two headers.With no name on the window sticker and no-one around it, we know very little about this chopped shoebox other than what we, and you, can see, but it sits right and looks great, especially the slanted B-pillars. Unusually for a California car, it even retains cut down windshield wipers!Jeff Thielman's '29 A roadster was channeled way down over a stock Model A frame with a stock height windshield. A tri-power-equipped small-block Ford sits behind the sectioned Deuce grille shell.Cisco Farias braved the rain and drove his small-block Chevy powered custom `51 Mercury to the show on Saturday. The candy paint really popped with the sun eventually came out.The '40 Mercury coupe makes a great kustom, given its increased length over the same-year Ford. Chop the top and add Matranga-style side window frames, and while you'll draw comparisons with that icon, it's a timeless style.As well as the Willys, Bill Fowler also entered his Blair's Speed Shop '55 150. Blair's installed the tube axle in the '60s. With vintage decals and a mix of skinny Cragar five-spokes and chromed steelies wrapped in pie crust slicks in the radiused rear fenders, it's pretty similar to how it looked when racing from 1966 to 1972, minus the lettering.

As well as guarding so many entry ways of the finest chateaux..
For example at Chateau Haut-Brion...
Now here's a funny thing...
Where I live, in Astoria, NY
(just 9 minutes from Bloomingdales on the N train
and the most multi-culti town in the USA)
there is a profusion of stone LIONS!
38th street is particularly littered with these stone lions!
Only between Broadway and 34th Avenue,
in case you should go looking for a pride or two...
This has set me thinking...
Have some Bordeauxoise winemakers moved to Astoria? ? ?
Will we soon see some vineyards springing up on my turf?
Did I mention that Bordeaux is also inundated with stone sphinxes?
The French sphinx has a coiffed head and the bust of a young woman.
Often she is wearing ear drops and pearls
and her body is naturalistically rendered as a recumbent lion.
Chateau Margaux has an impressive pair guarding their stairway entry.
Chateaux de Malle makes a lovely Sauturnes, well protected by
a brace of sphinx.
We could definitely use a few sphinxes on 31st Avenue :)

Global Warming Art:About
From Global Warming Art
Global Warming Art is the result of a dream that the public and educators should have easy access to the same data and results that have framed the scientific discussion of global warming and climate change.
This site was founded by Robert A. Rohde as an extension of his hobby for playing with climate data and sharing his understanding by contributing content to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia under the pseudonym Dragons flight. In many ways, Wikipedia is an excellent venue for such work as anyone may contribute to building the encyclopedic knowledge of the world. However, the format of an encyclopedia can also be fairly constraining and the open community can sometimes lend itself to pointless arguments with people who are more interesting in pushing an agenda than taking an honest look at scientific information.
So in mid 2006, this site was created to allow the science of climate change to be presented in a different and more peaceful format. Like Wikipedia, this site strives to present the science of climate in a well-documented and politically neutral way. Most of this site's content, at least in the beginning, will be devoted to data. It is the goal of this site to present all such data in a way that is consistent with prevailing scientific wisdom and to note and acknowledge any significant disputes that may exist within the scientific community. It is not our goal to prove or disprove global warming, but merely to document what much of the scientific community believes and give some indication for why they believe it.
This site is committed to the ideals of free content and licenses all original text under the GFDL. Individual image licenses vary, but the majority are free for educational and non-profit uses. However, one of the other advantages of creating a separate website is that it allows us to expand into areas of content not suitable for Wikipedia. While many images that are freely licensed, we also include some images, such as photographs of glaciers, which may only be available with the limited permission of the author. By clicking on any image, you may view its description page and learn about it's copyright status. This is especially important for commercial republishers as many of the images may have conditions or licensing fees required for commercial use.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) - A judge has sentenced a former Prince George's County police officer to 30 days of home detention for beating a University of Maryland student during a rowdy celebration following a Terrapin basketball victory over Duke.
The judge sentenced James Harrison on Friday to a year in jail on the assault conviction, then suspended all but 30 days and ordered Harrison to serve those through home detention.
Harrison was one of two officers charged with assaulting John McKenna. The 2010 incident was captured on video by another student. The other officer was acquitted in October. Harrison, who served as a policeman for more than 20 years, is no longer on the force.
Harrison's lawyer says he'll file a motion asking the judge to remove Harrison's conviction from his record.

And I'll admit I'd be lying if I said I've never eaten cookie dough or brownie batter. "One spoonful for me, one for the cookie sheet. One for me, one for..." You get the picture.
I'd better put a disclaimer in here. Eat cookie dough and brownie batter at your own risk. The raw ingredients can make you very, very sick.
Lucky for us, some genius out there has found a way for us to get our fill of this delicious treat without endangering our lives!
This chocolate chip cookie dough dip comes from Jenny at plannerperfectmeals.com, and the brownie batter dip is from Nikki at chef-in-training.com.
Of course you can grab a spoon and dig in, or you can dip in your favorite graham crackers, pretzel sticks, vanilla wafers or animal crackers.

please excuse but i am completely new to Zimbra and zimlets. I only want to ensure that a special requierement is feasable with zimlets. I am not familar with the power and diversity of zimlets. So please be indulge.
Is it possible to develop a zimlet that takes an outgoing email before sending and rebuild it completely (e.g. add/remove/modify body and attachments, etc.) and send it in this new format to the recipients? Is it possible that such a zimlet also runs identical in the zimbra desktop?

The 2003 Young Alumni Achievement Award went to Jennifer Mercer, a 1997 graduate of BHSU, who recently earned a Ph.D. in earth sciences with a focus in organic geochemistry from Dartmouth and spent six weeks conducting post-doctorate research in Antarctica.
Mercer, who is originally from Spearfish, returned to her alma mater to accept the award. She feels that her education at BHSU has been an integral part of her success and encourages students to explore their options and make the most of their experiences while in college.
"Seven years ago I attended this banquet as a student," she said. "At that time I didn't think I would ever be back here getting an award but my experiences have made that possible."

WASHINGTON,D.C. (WUSA) - If watching the footage of Sandy's wrath feels like a punch in the gut, it was for me too. Two friends, Diane Schutz and Allegra Dweck, and I collected money and supplies and handed them out in Staten Island Sunday, November 11th.
But this story isn't about us, it's about survival, perseverance and the inextinguishable spirit of those who lived through hell, and one who didn't.
85-year-old WWII veteran Jimmy Rossi lived in a 1-story bungalow in the Ocean Breeze section. His niece Arlene Hague says he was found dead, days later, behind his home."The surge took him out. He was a tough cookie, he was a tough man..I don't think he thought that, nobody thought this was gonna happen and he didn't I guess he figured he was here his whole life, and as my cousin said at his wake, he determined how he was going to go out."
Hague, her daughter and just about every family member who lives on the island lost their homes. The only warm place they'd seen in two weeks was the funeral home for Rossi's wake.
Anthony Gatti lived in an apartment in his parent's home in the Ocean Breeze neighborhood. When Sandy struck, water rose quickly. Anthony's dad texted him, asking him to check on his brother three miles away. Gatti started driving towards his brother's home, and the roads were already flooding. In a matter of minutes, one foot of water turned into three, and the car was floating. Anthony escaped. The water was chest-high. In moments, it was up to his neck.
He swam to his brother's home, trying desperately to find him. He tried the door. It was locked. He called his brother's cell. It went straight to voicemail. He started screaming his brother's name. He noticed lights flickering near his brother's car and dove off the back deck into the water to find his brother trapped inside his car. The car was full of water, save for an inch of air at the top. Anthony tried repeatedly to open the car door, but it wouldn't budge. Finally, after several tries, he managed to open it, grab his brother and pull him up to the deck, the whole time fearing they would be electrocuted by nearby downed power lines.
The two brothers spent a terrifying night and morning in the house, dodging danger and moving debris, waiting out the treacherous storm. At 6 am, Anthony sent his father a text, that read in part, "Love you dad so, so much and you know I would never compromise my baby bro's life. I will always protect him. It looks like the water is receding, but the house is so unstable, that's all I am worried about. I'm really scared, Dad, but our survival instincts kick in and you know me, I can make it."
The two brothers were rescued the next day by police boat. They survived. So did their parents. But, their homes didn't. Gatti lost everything he owned. He's now living in a tent, sourced by Three Ladies Helping Staten Island, on what used to be the home's front lawn.
Allegra Dweck, one of Three Ladies, keeps in touch with Gatti almost daily. Below are excerpts of some of Gatti's communications.
Friday, November 16
"Thanks for helping to keep hope alive and your encouraging words. It's still hard to comprehend, I guess because I am a New Yorker and we are really not used to our own being so kind and showing this kind of support. What I mean is that you don't even know me or my family, you do now , but before all this you didn't even know us from Adam, but yet you and your friends have personally reached out and took your time and energy to help to make our lives a little easier and more comfortable."
Wednesday, November 14
"I sometimes wonder if the man upstairs purposely directs our lives to restore character, maybe faith, or our hearts. There are so many people that were affected by this storm, and me and my family are just a few, but you guys walked into our lives and offered help that none of us are really used to. We have all Been very self-sufficient and we prided ourselves on our independence and integrity - as a family and as an individual. Then, we get hit with Mother Nature and a complete 180-degree life change occurs in a matter of minutes. I have really tried to hold it together, for my mom primarily, because my dad, I think, is still in the denial stage, but being a rock for another leaves myself completely vulnerable and over the last 24 hours, I have been feeling like I am falling apart at the seams.
"It's the ones such as yourself as your friends that have allowed me to keep hope alive. Like when I am shoveling sand from my driveway, it feels as if I am doing something but not getting anywhere. I don't know if I am making any sense but I guess I am trying to just express myself, and I do appreciate you reading and encouraging me. You have no idea how that helps. Or maybe you do. Another case in point is FEMA. I applied for assistance because I rented from my parents and lost literally everything I owned along with them. FEMA denied me rental assistance for their own reasons. That does not make any sense to me. How is a person supposed to pick themselves up and try to start over if the government will refuse to help.
"I do not know of any private organizations or individuals that may offer financial help at the time of need for someone like myself. I know of a few that will take an application that can take weeks if not longer to help, but that is just too long a wait. If you know of any one that can help in that area with living expenses, please let me know because it is so needed, at least for myself at this time. My parents will be afforded assistance for their needs but they refuse to provide me with any, I believe, because we share the same address. I gave them all the information as far as my living arrangements and my rental agreement with them, I just do not get it. I feel like a man on the corner holding out a can about now, well not literally, but it's just that I never once in my adult life had to ask for help like this. You guys have been a godsend and I do really appreciate your love and support."
Wednesday, November 14
"I really do appreciate the offer to find us a place to stay but the reality is that we are going to need to stay in the property to protect whatever we have left. There has been a lot of homes being looted and people taking anything that is not nailed down. We pretty much lost over 95 percent of what we had, give or take, but whatever we were able to save is under tarps. It's all we have left of our memories from 32 years in our home, and it would be pretty sad to see someone just help themselves. I have had so much time to think and reflect on my life almost 45 years and I think about all I have done, 8 yrs in the army, learning my trade as an electrician, the places I have been, third-world countries with so much sadness and poverty, I helped as much as I could wherever I could and however I could, but I never once gave thought to me being on that same side.
It is a very humbling experience. "
Saturday, November 17
"Today my dad and I, along with 25 soldiers, were able to get our garage roof off from the neighbor's yard, and whatever contents floated over there as well. We will be here all day, as well as tomorrow together. And then I will be flying solo again because dad has to go back to work. But I am sure I can find some people who will help me from time to time getting the rest of the stuff to the curb. I can't believe how nice the weather has been to us lately. It's nice not to freeze during the day, while trying to get some stuff done. I really can't wait for you to meet my dad. I told him all about you and your friends and how you have been my rock since I have met you."
Sunday, November 18
"I am actually starting to see some results as far as cleaning up the place. I can actually see the driveway now. I'm just clearing away a spot where I can place the tent and whatever supplies I have gathered. I sometimes, well most of the time, get really choked up like when I go to a funeral and I just look around me in disbelief, then I get a reality check and start doing whatever it was I was doing."
We collected money and handed out $4000 in cash and supplies. If you would like to donate, please visit www.facebook.com/ThreeLadiesHelpingStatenIsland

NAU assistant coach Jeff Lewis dies
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Northern Arizona assistant coach Jeff Lewis, a former Lumberjacks quarterback who played for Denver and Carolina in the NFL, died Saturday. He was 39.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (WUSA) -- Some young friends participating in their annual post-Thanksgiving campout had their event ruined by weapon-wielding robbers say Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office authorities.
At approximately 2:00 a.m. deputies responded to the 10300 block of Campbell Drive for a report of a robbery. Ten people had been camping about half a mile into the woods off of Campbell Drive, an area is known to the neighborhood and commonly used for camping.
The victims, who were between 16 years old and 21 years old, told police they were sitting around a campfire when they saw five people approach with weapons. The robbers demanded wallets, cash and cell phones.
The victims say some of them were punched or kicked but no one required medical treatment.
The robbers fled with cash, say authorities.
Detectives are trying to identify the identities of the robbers. If you have information, then please call the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office at 540.582.7115 or Crime Solvers at 1-800-928-5822 or 1-540-582-5822.

Having a glimpse into someone else's life, a life you probably you never wanted, will lead to excessive smiling in the mirror every morning. Smiles are good for the soul!
Let's be honest, your bully has probably had their fair share of bullying at this put in the game. You'll be surprised how much they want to apologize for what they once did.
I don't know about your experience, but Facebook has showed me that those who bullied me settled. I'm not judging, but in my experience, my bullies already had three kids under their belt (literally) by the time they were in their mid-20's.
I did not. And these were the people who were going to be "models" and "rockstars."

Having a glimpse into someone else's life, a life you probably you never wanted, will lead to excessive smiling in the mirror every morning. Smiles are good for the soul!
If you can look yourself in the mirror, knowing that the path you chose was right for YOU, then you can sleep at night... like a puppy who knows they'll be fed upon wake up.
Where do bullies go, on average? Um, nowhere. Look at their life and your life. Who pursued what they wanted and who didn't? Who collapsed under mediocrity? Not you. Why? Because "freaks" rarely do.
This may seem on par with making amends, but it's not. Forgiveness is an entirely differently world.
As an adult, you realize that bullies were bullies for a deeper reason than the words and actions they cast upon you. It was actually less about you and more about them. You'll see this in the longrun.
Whether it was a family issue or something that stemmed from an internal insecurity on their part, your adult brain will understand the reason for it all: it was not about you.
Dude. Thumbs up! (Yes, gratuitous photo of my lipstick.) Life IS NOT A COMPETITION, but if it was... who won? Oh, I don't know... YOU? Like I said, nerds, dorks, freaks and outcasts always step up to the plate. I think that might be part goal and part bullying.
Take it from a someone who was bullied: We succeed in the long run. I more than promise this... MORE THAN.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Al Jefferson scored 21 points, Gordon Haywood added 15 in his first game as a reserve this season, and the Utah Jazz kept the Washington Wizards winless with an 83-76 victory on Saturday night.
The Jazz committed 19 turnovers but pulled away in the fourth quarter while closing a four-game road trip with a sloppy performance - and got away with it because they were playing the Wizards. Washington became only the second team in NBA history to start 0-8 in back-to-back seasons.
Jordan Crawford scored 20 points for the Wizards.

ANNAPOLIS (WUSA9) -- Smart Meter opponents in Maryland took their fight to the state capital on Thursday.
They're asking lawmakers in Annapolis to pass a bill that would prevent power companies from installing these new meters at their homes.
Nearly 30 people testified before the Economic Matters Committee in support of the Smart Meter Opt Out Bill, which is sponsored by republican Delegate Glen Glass.
"This bill is about freedom of choice," said Glass. "Citizens of Maryland should not have to pay to receive something that they don't want."
Smart meter opponents have two key areas of concern: public health and privacy.
They're worried that the wireless radiation that these meters emit is bad for their health. They're also worried that these real-time,wireless readings of their electricity usage could be shared with the wrong people.
If approved, House Bill 1039 would do two things:
A. It would allow Pepco and BG&E customers to keep opting-out of the smart meter program at no cost.
B. It would fine those companies if they release any of the data that it collects to third party advertisers.
At Thursday's hearing, representatives from Pepco and BG&E said that those privacy concerns are unfounded, that smart meters reduce costs for both the companies and their customers, and that the meters are safe. But when one of the committee members asked those same representatives about the number of studies that have been done at the federal level to test the safety of smart meters, Michael Butts from BG&E said this:
"To the extent of my knowledge, there is no study specific to a smart meter from the federal government. I will say that smart meters are a relatively new phenomenon and that might be one reason that that's the case."
