DENTON (UNT), Texas -- This summer, University of North Texas undergraduate art students are teaming up to fill two huge blank canvases -- white walls in the Lightwell Gallery of the Art Building.
The 27 students in the new mural class offered through the UNT College of Visual Arts and Design are getting hands-on mural-making experience in the five-week course. They'll spend the next two weeks painting and sculpting to create two murals -- each stretching 37 feet long and 10 feet high. These real-life skills are expanding their expertise and preparing them for careers, students say.
"This is a skill set people want -- someone who can make murals and handle everything from the proposal to the budget," said Emily Brown, a senior from Houston majoring in painting and drawing.
What will the murals look like?
One mural will be a colorful painting with a tree showing the school as a place of growth, a footbridge illustrating students' journey to the future, swimming fish and half of a girl's face. The mural on the opposite wall will be entirely white with sculptural pieces -- made of wire mesh, starched cloth and spray installation foam -- coming out of the wall.
When can the public see the murals?
The students spent the first day of mural-making using blue chalk to build grids of one-foot squares on each mural. They'll spend the next two weeks painting and sculpting. An opening reception to show off the finished murals will be held at 5 p.m. July 5, and the finished murals will be on display July 5 until Aug. 4 (Saturday) in the Lightwell Gallery of the UNT Art Building.
What are students learning in the mural class?
Students are taught by Blayre Stiller and Giovanni Valderas, both of whom earned master of fine arts degrees in painting from UNT. Stiller and Valderas taught students about the history of muralism and invited professional Dallas muralists to talk to the students about the work. Students study the impact of murals in the community -- as well as how the community impacts art.
"It's like eye candy," Valderas said of murals. "But it brings attention to certain things and raises social awareness."

My current handlebars are uncomfortable for me. They're old straightforward road drops, with almost no flare. When I'm in the drops, I'm constantly bumping my forearms against the top flats, where the curve begins. I have another bike with randonneur bars, which are more comfortable, since the flared drops put my wrists outside the flats. But they're a good deal wider than I'd like, and the drops are too shallow.
Basically, I'm wondering if anyone knows of track-style drop bars, with drops that flare outwards more than usual. Ideally, even with the flare, they would be pretty narrow (my current bar is 39cm by my measurement, and I'd like a new one which is no wider - even narrower would be better.)
I've been considering the Soma Major Taylor 38cm bars (see here) but I'm not sure how they're measured. Handlebar width is usually measured center-to-center at the middle of the curves, as opposed to center-to-center at the bar ends, right? Since the Major Taylors flare out so much, would this make them much wider than 38cm at their widest (i.e. if you measured the distance between the bar ends)?
If anyone knows the answer to that question, or has any other handlebar recommendations for me, it would be appreciated.

"KK - start and end of Sabah Borneo adventures" Kota Kinabalu by dhannis
Kota Kinabalu Travel Guide: 1,113 reviews and 2,950 photos
KK is one of the places on the planet for marine life. The diving is varied and exciting. TARP is close. Mantanani and the other islands range from day trips to longer stays and of course the two gems are Layang layang and Sipadan. Personally I avoid Sipadan, The fish reefs and macro on Layang or Langkayan are just as good, fewer visitors and awesome underwater scenery.
The other place I love is the Aquarium in KK, called the Green Connection, the staff are a dedicated bunch of conservationists. Their hearts are all in the right places. I visit on every trip and I dive in the giatn coral reef tank every chance I get.
Borneo is famous for forests and I love tramping through the mud to see what is over the next ridge. Generally i walk less than 2km from the end of the road, there is so much to see but you gotta look closely. Rain Forests are about giant trees and minute insects. It is really hard to find the creatures in-between. Look closely and avoid the tourist destinations - 500 m away through the trees is generally far enough to find things that the plank-walking tourist never sees.
- Pros:Its all good
- Cons:long way by plane
- In a nutshell:Gateway to the heart of Borneo

Solid mouse, great button placement, not much for palm grip
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: It can go really fast or really slow, depending on how you set it. The widest speeds I've ever used with a mouse.
Cons: It's a little too wide for how I like to hold a mouse, but my hands are big so I can let this slide. I like the feel of the original Chameleon Green Razer Diamondback and this just doesn't match up. This more personal preference than anything else. If you like to palm grip your mouse, than this would be in the pro section.
Other Thoughts: If you want a lot of buttons and like a palm grip style, this is your mouse. It's not perfect, but then nothing ever really is.

"THEE Most Perfect Gaming Mouse, Peromance & Appearance"
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: It's really quite flashy. I was unsure at first about getting a white model because I'm sure, eventually it'll be too much to maintain it clean, but others online have complimented it's eye-catching look, mixed with the bright LED's, and I totally agree. I'll just have to be super diligent in maintenance. In terms with performance, it's very smooth, tons of buttons, and feels good to shape well in my hand (5'6", to picture its size). At the high resolution, my MMO's already gone better too, and twitch aiming is much more pin-point. I like the pinky rest as a button as well. The transition to switch from my old M510 to this has been non-existent...It works properly & precise the way a gaming mouse should, absolutely reliable. No worries here, good buy.
Cons: I got a tub of wet-ones on me for routine maintenance. Other than that, I really can't think of any cons to say right at this moment, but only time will tell if there will be issues.
Other Thoughts: _ Found out on the first day that maintenance likely will never be an issue; silly me already spilled OJ on it and just wiped it to a clean slate. It'll take some years til it no longer looks new.

Decent Mouse with Issues
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: Comfortable in my hand, multiple color options, keypad is great for games and general use.
Cons: Mouse cursor will randomly jump to the middle of the screen (I've only noticed this problem playing games)
Other Thoughts: While this is a very comfortable mouse, but this fatal flaw almost ruins it for me. If anyone knows why this happens please let me know because I will be happy to change my review.

Best mouse I've ever owned!
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: Very sturdy build, white stays remarkably clean somehow, spacing and layout on the 12 side buttons is great and easy to distinguish one button from another! The customizable led is pretty nice even though I keep it on one color, the software program that links with this is pretty simple and straight forward, it responds well on all situations I've thrown at it, the usb cable is plenty long enough and has a nice quality braiding over it. Lastly, even though this is labeled as an MMO mouse, I don't play those I'm into games like Witcher 3 and Call of Duty and the extra buttons right there by your thumb has improved my gaming significantly! In Black Ops 3 i keep my reload tied to the third mouse button up top, grenades tied to 1, slide tied to 2, melee tied to 3 on the side buttons then a few of my top guns assigned to the others so I anything I need is no more than an inch move of the thumb away!
Cons: Takes just a bit of use to get use to the buttons on the side, but not long enough to be an actual con, just couldn't think of anything else!
Other Thoughts: Get it! Don't play MMO? Doesn't matter, the 12 buttons on the side have improved every game I play!

An Excellent MMO Mouse
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: One of few white mice
Cons: Had a driver issue with one on a specific machine, and one had a slightly squishier feeling G-Shift, but nothing else, and nothing consistent
Other Thoughts: For me, this is pretty much the go-to MMO mouse, or really mouse in general. The buttons seem absurd before you use it, but if you're a gamer, you'll find plenty of uses for them, trust me.

logitech mmo mouse
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: This is a great mouse for guild wars, wow, tera, and many other mmos. The feel of the mouse is very smooth, the white texture looks great, doesn't have gaming gunk build up, the lighting for the mouse is amazing, having multiple profiles for games is awesome so you can have other macros for wow and tera, scroll wheel is amazing with the back and forth option, the g shift button makes it where you can have double the macros on the mouse.
Cons: This mouse haves LOGITECH software so it's pretty terrible software until you get use to it and figure your way around it. the mouse gets hot and can go to its on board memory which can mess up dpi setting. Having the mouse at 1000 response time isn't a good idea because it will delay itself so deal with 500. If you play csgo this mouse isn't that great but I like the macros and I can buy my m4a1 and armor in just two clicks with the macros. You will click the g shift button constantly when righting clicking in the beginning.

Great mouse, when it works...
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: Feels great, responsive, lots of buttons right where you need them, lights are cool.
Cons: The firmware is impossible to update and is full of bugs, The mouse is difficult to program, side buttons began falling off after light use, developed a software issue where the pointer would shoot to the top of the screen, developed a horrible double clicking issue, customer support was next to useless.
Other Thoughts: I really do want to like this mouse, but it has given me to many problems to recommend it.

Beware if you have more than one
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: The mouse has a lot of buttons, and if you like large mice it will fit your hand better than a Naga.
Cons: Beware customer service. If you have more than one mouse, they will not provide you with service and they will pretend that you are talking about the original mouse in every correspondence. Let me detail my experience.
Other Thoughts: The mouse is too heavy for my tastes and it's not adjustable, but I managed with it. If I hadn't had this terrible experience with Customer service, I wouldn't have bought a Naga last week. I'm transitioning back to Razer products because while they aren't the greatest build quality, at least they never got confused by someone who owned more than one of their products. I never had the runaround like I'm getting with Logitech.

810-002851 not 910-002871
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: I really like the way the mouse feels, looks, and performs. I think the software is great. If I set the software to use the profiles on the windows computer instead of stored on the mouse I don't get t the input lag other reviewers are talking about.
Cons: "This mouse is NOT model 910-002871, this is actually a nearly 4 year old 810-002851. The firmware on this model CAN NOT be updated to repair the sensor lag issue."
Other Thoughts: Probably gonna return it. Don't know who to be unhappy with.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you?
This review is from: Logitech G600MMO Gaming Mouse - White
Pros: The 12 buttons on the side of the mouse are easy to use once you get used to them. The curvature of the buttons, along with ridges on the two buttons in the center make it easy to find the button you're looking for. These buttons alone grant excellent control in MMO games.
Cons: none so far

Sentiment: Strong Buy
Maybe, maybe not. You have to realize that the game here is extraction of shares from weak holders. How would you do that? Frustrate the holders. How do you beat that? Realize that, and outsmart them at their own game. One thing for sure, I can wait longer, years with this position, if required, than ANY hedge fund. Most can't, which is what they bank on. Plus the obvious, the company has an incredible program unfolding, which the value, either to a suitor or investors will overwhelm any short or medium term games here over time, so that if you do not want to be bothered by the games, you understand that and just buy and hold, expecting the volatility. Once you realize that you laugh at the ups and down games. Remember, NOBODY, no matter how big can stop a takeover bid, especially if they are dumb enough to be short, and this is absolutely, regardless of what any of the doubters here say, a solid takeover candidate. Either from current partners, or others looking for future pipelines. Does anyone really doubt that a Roche, already a partner and now moving into Phase 3 trials on another major candidate besides CABO situation is not keeping a very close eye on this situation?? For only one example. There are others. Think any of these big Pharma guys do not need new drugs to take the place of their expiring and expired successes? Want to be short when either somebody takes a run at this, or news simply pushes the value far higher?
So if tomorrow brings an uptick, or down-tick, the question is, are you prepared to act on it. Do you have a plan. I do! LOL

Process Rehabilitation at HealthSouth
Standing with Print Solutions' two-color Shinohara press are (from left) Matt Roth, Danny Kirkland, Mark Tucker, Stacy Hux and Wendell Rotenberry.
Operator Michael Lopez checks the quality on a diversity calendar project being produced on the in-plant's HP Indigo 7600.

machine, has been advantageous for us," Kirkland observes. "Being able to go to 60˝ on the Rastek, as opposed to 42˝ on the Epsons, has been huge. One thing I'm most proud of is the parking lot signage and window graphics for new hospitals or hospitals undergoing a refresh.
"We just got back from a hospital in Ludlow, Mass., where we completely did all the parking lot signage, the windows in the therapy gyms, as well as pictures and some of the artwork inside of the hospital. Without that machine, we would not have had the ability to print on aluminum signs. It's been a new revenue source for us that will hopefully continue to grow."
The workload has been so lucrative, in fact, that Print Solutions will be adding an HP latex wide-format machine to help handle some of the banner jobs being done on the Rastek. Kirkland expects that machine to come online during the first quarter of 2014.
The HP machine isn't the only newcomer expected for 2014. Around mid year, Print Solutions will refresh its copier fleet, which is on lease and currently consists of five Konica Minoltas (three black-and-white) and a Canon color output device.
Print Promotions Group
One of the wild cards of the future for Print Solutions is its budding Print Promotions Group, which processes some 5,000 orders per month. Even the senior vice president whom Kirkland reports to sees adding a second and third shift as a tremendous growth opportunity for the in-plant, since the necessary equipment is already in place. An accounts receivable system has been acquired, and at some point in the not-too-distant future, Print Solutions will add a commercial salesperson.
"We still need to find out where our sweet spot is with the new business. But I do believe we're going in the right direction," Kirkland notes.
In the meantime, Print Solutions has no intention of taking its eyes off the HealthSouth ball. It has a rigorous promotional communications campaign scheduled for 2014, including a monthly email newsletter and a quarterly promotional product mailing that will pitch a given item to the marketing directors of the member hospitals. Kirkland's team will also generate a twice-a-year printed newsletter that not only talks about Print Solutions but also marketing and print-related products that can benefit the hospitals.
For a shop that was trekking down the path of extinction only a few short years ago, Print Solutions is now on the road to establishing a long-term value proposition. Along the way, Kirkland has benefitted from networking and educational opportunities such as the IPMA conference. Commiserating with other in-plant managers who are experiencing the same trials and tribulations is therapeutic as much as anything, and it's been a nice getaway for Kirkland, who brought his managers to the IPMA conference in 2013 for the first time.
"Because you tend to feel like you're isolated or unique…just being able to hear other people and understand you're not alone, and to get some other resources, that is invaluable to me," he remarks. "I saw a lot of positive growth from my managers experiencing the same thing. Luckily, we'll be able to budget for them to go next year."

GettyHow much pot will Coloradans consume once it becomes widely and legally available?
About 150,000 pounds a year, according to a new study by the Colorado Futures Center at Colorado State University. The study warns its estimate is probably conservative.
Put another way, that's roughly 672 million bong hits per year, which may generate as much as $130 million in tax revenue.

Didn't realize how big and hard this would be. My two dogs (60 & 80 lbs) were totally uninterested in it. Think they are used to softer, squeekier toys (which they rarely destroy). Gave this to a friend's dogs who love it.

(Updated - Closed) Starting the fha loan process![ Edited ]
09-30-2012 07:20 AM - edited 10-31-2012 05:22 PM
We closed today! Feels great!! Had to guess the keypad for the front door to get in because seller agent was a jerk. We changed the lock and put his stuff on the front porch for when he comes by. Oh boy wish I could be there lol.
Hello Everyone. Figured I would start a thread I can vent on for the next 30 days :-)
My DW and I got our pre qual last week at 3.625 FHA with 3.5% down. The house is just over 200k.
To our delight, the only house we were really looking at we were able to get our bid accepted and were now under contract offically last friday. I am depositing some gift money on monday because the official application will begin on tuesday. I am nervous about everything but I calculated our ratios and looks like we are at 24/36 and I believe FHA si 31/41 or about that.
This is our first home and we are very excited to get through the loan process. It is a little nerve racking so it is nice to be on this forum with some fellow people going through the same ordeal.

Trash bags full of cigarettes were found and two men are in jail, accused of transporting bootleg cigarettes.
It all happened after a deputy stopped a speeding car in Halifax County.
The stop was made this morning on Highway 158. A search of the vehicle found $1280 in cash sticking out from behind the glove compartment and the bootleg smokes in trash bags in the pickup truck's bed.
Robert Pule, who is from Ecuador, and Jacques Dupont of New York were both charged with possession and transportation of non tax paid cigarettes. The two are in the Halifax County jail on $100,000 bonds.

Roman Zozulya gave Dnipro the lead just after half-time, putting his side 2-0 up on aggregate with an away goal in their favour.
But a stunning comeback was to follow as Christian Eriksen scored a free-kick and, after Zozulya was then dismissed, a well-taken quick-fire double from Emmanuel Adebayor put us through to the next round, and a two-legged tie against Benfica.

Compare Brightness:
LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- East Carolina isn't shy about wanting a shot at crashing the BCS.
The Pirates beat big-name opponents and won its first conference
championship in more than three decades last season.
ECU returns an experienced group from last year's 9-5 squad, with quarterback Patrick Pinkney back to lead the offense after earning a sixth year from the NCAA. The Pirates also have a pair of all-Conference USA performers on defense in lineman C.J. Wilson and
safety Van Eskridge.
Coach Skip Holtz said his players have plenty of reason for optimism, but also says last year's success doesn't mean anything for this year's group once the regular season begins against Appalachian State on Sept. 5.

Sonatina In G, Op.100 for Violin and Piano was written in four movements. Intended for the composer's children, this delightful piece is a favourite of many young violinists. Perfect for any recital.
Dvorak wrote to his Berlin publisher in 1889 informing them of the composition of the Poetic Tone Pictures (Op. 85) and adding "You will like the compositions. Each piece has a title and is meant to describe something."

Conference Paper: Antibiotic Prescribing Adherence to Procalcitonin (PCT)-Generated Recommendations in Two Academic Medical Intensive Care Units (MICUs)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Background: Using serum PCT levels to help guide antibiotic duration in adult intensive care units reduced antibiotic use without adversely affecting survival or other outcomes in randomized controlled trials. We assessed the clinical utility of real-world PCT testing in two Chicago teaching hospital MICUs. Methods: Concurrent PCT testing and teaching/guideline interventions deployed in reverse sequence in the two MICUs were approved as quality improvement projects by both hospital IRBs, with waiver of patient consent. Recipients of systemic antibacterials were targeted for daily PCT testing only while in the MICU; results appeared in patients' electronic records; MICU physicians (MDs) used published interpretive criteria to integrate PCT results with clinical data in making antibiotic prescribing decisions. We assessed MD prescribing decision/PCT level adherence over all PCT levels and for the last PCT measurement for each episode of care. Results: PCT was measured 1240 times in 630 care episodes (median 2 tests/episode) for 540 patients over 10 months in MICU A. Over 5 months of ongoing testing in MICU B, PCT was measured 531 times during 131 episodes of care (median 3 tests/episode) for 121 patients. PCT results and patient-level trends generally mirrored infection severity and response to therapy. At hospital A, of 173 initially low PCT values, MDs stopped antibiotics 49 (28%) times; at hospital B, initial PCT values were not responded to. Adherence to PCT-generated recommendations for all PCT levels and for the last PCT levels is displayed in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Conclusion: The distribution of PCT values above and below the threshold for recommending antibiotic stopping was similar at our two academic MICUs, but MD adherence to these recommendations differed markedly, suggesting variable test acceptance. Only 20% of patients in the MICU with higher rates of adherence had PCT levels below the threshold to recommend stopping antibiotics. PCT testing after ICU discharge and improved MD education may be needed to take full advantage of PCT testing in this population.
Article: Implementation of an extended-infusion piperacillin-tazobactam program at an urban teaching hospital[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The development and implementation of an extended-infusion piperacillin-tazobactam program at an urban teaching hospital are described. A multidisciplinary team was formed to address the feasibility of converting from the standard 30-minute infusion to an extended infusion of piperacillin- tazobactam. Before hospitalwide implementation, feasibility studies were performed in a subset of patients to identify potential barriers to program implementation. On the day of hospitalwide conversion, the orderables for piperacillin-tazobactam were reprogrammed in the computerized prescriber-order-entry system to allow separate options for the 30-minute infusion (for pediatric patients) and the extended-infusion regimen. After selecting the orderable for the extended-infusion regimen, an electronic message appeared to remind prescribers of the rationale for this change and recommended indications for piperacillin-tazobactam. Program success was prospectively evaluated on 11 weekdays after hospitalwide conversion for all 96 adult inpatients receiving piperacillin-tazobactam. Of the 194 piperacillin-tazobactam doses observed, 90% were appropriate, with compliance increasing to 100% by the end of the observation period. There was near-complete cessation of the every-6-hour dosage interval and a marked increase in the every-8-hour and every-12-hour dosage intervals. The number of piperacillin-tazobactam doses per 1000 patient-days significantly decreased during the postimplementation period. During the postimplementation period, pharmacy expenditures related to piperacillin-tazobactam decreased by 18% and the total number of grams of piperacillin-tazobactam purchased decreased by 24%. A hospitalwide program for the administration of extended-infusion piperacillin-tazobactam was safely and successfully implemented using a multi-disciplinary approach in an urban teaching hospital.
Article: Incidence of propofol-related infusion syndrome in critically ill adults: A prospective, multicenter study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: While propofol is associated with an infusion syndrome (PRIS) that may cause death, the incidence of PRIS is unknown. Determining the incidence of PRIS and the frequency of PRIS-related clinical manifestations are key steps prior to the completion of any controlled studies investigating PRIS. This prospective, multicenter study sought to determine the incidence of PRIS and PRIS-related clinical manifestations in a large cohort of critically ill adults prescribed propofol. Critically ill adults from 11 academic medical centers administered an infusion of propofol for [>/=] 24 hours were monitored at baseline and then on a daily basis until propofol was discontinued for the presence of 11 different PRIS-associated clinical manifestations and risk factors derived from 83 published case reports of PRIS. Among 1017 patients [medical (35%), neurosurgical (25%)], PRIS (defined as metabolic acidosis plus cardiac dysfunction and [>/=] 1 of: rhabdomyolysis, hypertriglyceridemia or renal failure occurring after the start of propofol therapy) developed in 11 (1.1%) patients an average of 3 (1-6) [median (range)] days after the start of propofol. While most (91%) of the patients who developed PRIS were receiving a vasopressor (80% initiated after the start of propofol therapy), few received a propofol dose >83 mcg/kg/min (18%) or died (18%). Compared to the 1006 patients who did not develop PRIS, the APACHE II score (25 +/- 6 vs 20 +/- 7, P = 0.01) was greater in patients with PRIS but both the duration of propofol use (P = 0.43) and ICU length of stay (P = 0.82) were similar. Despite using a conservative definition for PRIS, and only considering new-onset PRIS clinical manifestations, the incidence of PRIS slightly exceeds 1%. Future controlled studies focusing on evaluating whether propofol manifests the derangements of critical illness more frequently than other sedatives will need to be large. These studies should also investigate the mechanism(s) and risk factors for PRIS.
Conference Paper: Continuation of High Dose Vancomycin (HDV) Despite Nephrotoxicity (Nftx)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Background: Studies have reported Nftx in 12-40% of patients (pts) receiving HDV (trough [Tr] ≥15 mg/L). The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical outcomes and rate of Nftx in patients receiving greater than 5 days of HDV. Methods: Clinical and laboratory data was collected in adult inpatients receiving supervised HDV for treatment of severe MRSA infections. Nftx was defined as increase in serum creatinine (SCr) of 0.5 mg/dL or 50% from baseline. Results: Thirty-five patients were included. The mean duration of vancomycin (V) therapy was 19.7 ± 11 (range 6-43) days. A total of 185 V concentrations (Cp) were measured with a mean of the average V Tr per patient being 18.7 ± 5 mg/L. Nftx developed in 10 (29%) pts (Table). Age, weight, ICU stay at initiation of HDV, comorbidities, exposure to other nephrotoxins, baseline SCr and V Tr were similar for pts with or without Nftx. Pts who developed Nftx achieved mean V Tr of 16.8 ± 5.4 mg/L before and 17.8 ± 5.2 mg/L after onset of Nftx. Seven pts who developed Nftx continued to receive HDV with close monitoring of V dose and Cp. At discharge, SCr returned to within 0.5mg/dL or 50% of baseline in 3 pts and was trending down in 6. No pts required hemodialysis. Pt Days to Nftx onset from V initiation Indication for HDV Baseline SCr (mg/dL) Peak SCr (mg/dL) SCr before discharge (mg/dL) Days on HDV after Nftx Outcome 1 3 Empiric, pneumonia 1.8 2.7 2.3 12 Completed HDV, discharged. SCr at follow-up was 1.7 mg/dL. 2 4 MRSA bacteremia, osteomyelitis, pneumonia 0.9 3.1 1.1 35 Transferred to nursing home for 7 more days of HDV. 3 6 MRSA bacteremia, osteomyelitis 0.8 1.4 1.3 37 Completed HDV, discharged. 4 7 Empiric, retroperitoneal abscess 1.5 2.2 1.5 0 Abscess grew VRE, V discontinued 5 13 MRSA tenosynovitis 0.4 0.7 0.6 10 MRSA MIC=2 mg/L, patient switched to daptomycin. 6 14 Empiric, osteomyelitis 0.9 1.5 1.2 29 Completed HDV, discharged home. 7 15 MRSA bacteremia 1 1.5 1.5 0 Stopped V treatment 2 days earlier. 8 17 MRSA bacteremia, endocarditis 0.5 1.8 1.4 26 Completed HDV, discharged home. 9 18 MRSA bacteremia, osteomyelitis, bursitis 0.7 1.5 1.2 0 Switched to Conclusions: Although Nftx occurred in 29% of HDV pts, discontinuation of HDV therapy is not always required and SCr may improve on continued therapy with careful monitoring.

Israel launches Gaza offensive
Top news: The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a vicious air assault on the Gaza Strip, hitting at least 20 targets on Wednesday and killing Ahmed al-Jabari, Hamas' top military commander. The assault, which was announced via Twitter, came after a surge in Palestinian rocket and mortar fire. "We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead," read one Tweet from the IDF. At least 80 more rockets and mortars were fired at Israel Wednesday following Jabari's death, and three Israelis were killed by rocketfire overnight.
The fighting continued unabated on Thursday, with the Gaza health ministry reporting that at least 13 Palestinians have been killed, five of them militants. In Cairo, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy condemned the attacks and warned that they could destabilize the region. Yesterday, Egypt withdrew its ambassador to Israel and called an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council in response to the Israeli offensive. Morsy's Muslim Brotherhood has called for Egypt to sever all diplomatic relations with the Jewish state and open its border with Gaza.

It doesn't take long for a new knitter or crocheter to learn about the importance of making a gauge swatch: one badly off-size project usually convinces even the most gung-ho non-swatcher. Learning to make and measure a gauge swatch properly is one of the most important steps on the road to a great finished project. I've noticed that most of the knitters and crocheters I know (including myself, I'm sorry to say) tend to skimp on the swatching, doing only enough to make sure they're getting approximate gauge and then plunging headlong into the project at hand.
By doing this, we're only short-changing ourselves. Not only can getting the proper gauge solve a number of problems, a gauge swatch can tell you much more than just whether you're getting the requisite number of stitches and rows per inch. Your gauge swatch is the most important place to start learning what your final project will look and feel like. This is particularly important if you've chosen to use a different yarn or even color than the one called for in the pattern.
You might find, for instance, that even though you are getting the correct number of stitches and rows per inch, the fabric you are creating is too stiff or too drapey for the project you're making. Or you might find that the stitch pattern you love just doesn't show up when worked in the navy yarn you've chosen to work with. Better to find out now than after you've crocheted half an afghan! Next time you find yourself tempted to skimp or skip the swatch, remind yourself that even though it might seem like a drag now, you'll be much happier in the end if you do a full, proper swatch.

If you are reading this blog, you probably knit or crochet. Do you remember when you learned? Do you remember who taught you? It's often a memory so indelible that you can picture details about that day from the way the room looked to what you were wearing. Many of us learned as children, in awe of this person who could teach us to create something from a simple ball of yarn. We may have put down our craft as we became busy with children or work and picked it up again as we awaited the birth of a child, found a new way to relieve stress or discovered a yarn that could not be resisted.
This lovely story tells of a woman whose most cherished gift was given to her by an aunt when she was seven years old. She remembers the day, the snack of tea and cookies that came with the gift and the color of the yarn.
This holiday season, consider giving this precious, lifelong gift to a child. It's a gift of your knowledge and your presence together with a few inexpensive supplies. It's a gift that connects you to the person you teach in a way that very few gifts can. It's a gift for the holidays that reminds us of what is really important.
We invite you to share your stories of the person who taught you to knit by commenting on this blog post.

At the Lion Brand Yarn Studio, we've been making scarves for the Partnership for the Homeless, an organization here in NYC, as well as collecting scarf & hat donations from local yarncrafters. We're having so much fun knitting and crocheting for charity in our window, we thought we'd share some of our patterns. Each one of us gets to make whatever we want. Sometimes we use the StitchFinder, and sometimes we make it up. In the next few weeks we'll share some of the staff's scarves.
As we said in our first post, each one of our window scarves is one ball of Vanna's Choice, but you can make a longer scarf by using two balls. The recommended needle size for this yarn is US9 and the hook size is J-10, but as always, adjust up or down depending on the feel if your own fabric and your tension. With all of the scarves, you would bind off when you have yarn about 4 times the width of the scarf left. Then just weave in the ends, and you have a great scarf!

This should be, and probably is, fairly simple but I just don't know where to start. I have a LARGE set of galleries on a domain (>4,000 images) but I've run out of server space. I have another domain with loads of spare space and I just want to transfer the whole NextGen folder structure over to the other domain and 'call' it from there. I can copy the folders over and delete the original, but I don't know how to reconfigure the existing site to summon the images from their new home!
E.g. current file is http://domain1.com/galleries/november/set2/hello.jpg and I want to change that to http://domain2.com/galleries/november/set2/hello.jpg. Should I just write some mySQL command to strip and replace the domain name? Or is there a better way?

Skip to comments.Anti-Government Militia Groups on the Rise, (Southern Poverty) Law Center Says
Posted on 08/12/2009 11:17:45 AM PDT by SolidWood
Depending on your perspective, the rise of private, anti-government militias represents either the very best of American patriotism or is an ominous sign of a violent future. Last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center released a report showing that the militia movement is returning to levels not seen since the 1990s, when a series of high-profile stand-offs with federal agents culminated in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people. According to the SPLC, the number of people who have joined what it terms "hate groups" has increased by 54 percent since the year 2000.
The SPLC identified 926 hate groups active in 2008, up more than 4 percent from the 888 groups in 2007 and far above the 602 groups documented in 2000. A list and interactive state-by-state map of these groups can be viewed here.
So why the rise in modern-day militia activity (be it termed "hateful" or not)?
"Barack Obama's election has inflamed racist extremists who see it as another sign that they are under siege by non-whites," said Mark Potok, editor of Intelligence Report, a quarterly investigative journal that monitors the radical right. "The idea of a black man in the White House, combined with the deepening economic crisis and continuing high levels of Latino immigration, has given white supremacists a real platform on which to recruit."
(Excerpt) Read more at politicsdaily.com ...
Yes, and they along with Obambi and company will say anything.
And, we've only got four months to solve global warming.
One wonders what these loons would do if they had only gone to school.
The SPLC is a hate group. It never criticizes union thuggery - ever.
Since the SLPC includes the Republican party, the Natural Law party, the Constitution party, and even some libertarian organizations in the definition of "hate groups", it looks like the dems may be in trouble.
"when a series of high-profile stand-offs with federal agents culminated in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City"
I hasten to remind America that Oklahoma city was not bombed by a militia group. It was bombed by Tim McVeigh and John Doe #2. I'm not saying it's not possible these fellas were ordered to do so by a shadow right-wing military cabal, but this sort of reporting is akin to stating as simple fact that Kennedy was killed by the International Communist Conspiracy.
What exactly are they doing for poverty in the south?
The Southern Poverty Law Center when first formed fought against the Klan (Byrd's alma martyr) thru civil tort. They'd sue and often win. But they have long since just become another mouthpiece for the DNC.
Probably perpetuating it.
Please publish contact information to allow patriotic Americans who love freedom and who hate tyranny and liberal fascism to contact and learn about the militias. There is a lot of slanderous smearing of the militias being pushed by the liberal fascist propaganda machine, and Americans need to learn the truth about militias, instead of the lies in the mainstream media.
I think they're an arm of the ADL. Purely political BS that peddles their crap for free to law enforcement.
i would say that but they do stretch or exaggerate the facts. In the 90's the would appear on shows like Inside Edition all the time. They are not a credible source. Things are improving not getting worse... but that is bad for their business.
Contributions are down, time to scare the folks into sending in some "mo muny."
They have made a nice living off of calling people racists over the years! Don't believe a damned thing they say though.
YA YA heard it before Morris! F-Off !
Yes, the SPLC is definitely a bigoted hate group. They automatically lump anyone concerned with our government and willing to consider taking up arms someday to oppose it, with racists. That is flat out illogical, to say nothing of offensive. One can recognize an evil, out of control government entirely independently of what one thinks about race, as if that was even relevant to the general issue of constitutional governance.
Satan, the left, the gay agenda, etc,
all are targeting the family for destruction.
It's no wonder that they've targeted "focus on the family".
If I recall militia have a decorated history.
General Andrew Jackson and his militia took on the British at New Orleans and kicked their butt. The War for Texas Independence was conducted chiefly by militia. The Battle of King's mountain in the Revolutionary Was was won entirely by a militia. Militias kept the American frontier safe. They served with distinction on both sides in War of Northern Aggression.
Lawyers sniffing for cash.
I saw the Spokesman for this Southern Poverty Law Center on TV today. Looking at him i think he has been the victim of a shotgun blast in the face that may or may not have affected his judgement. Tell me if I am imagining this.
The SPLC must be running low on funds. They need to create boogeymen to scare liberals again to send $$$.
A communist front group.
There's probably as much, if not more, evidence that islamofascists had their fingers in OKC. Google "Ramzi Yousef Oklahoma City" and you'll find plenty of interesting reading.
No, it is a fund raising group that pumps up the appearance of danger to get more donations. The numbers killed by racist groups and militia, including Tim McVeigh, pale in comparison to the number killed by minorities themselves.
I don't recall saying anything bad about the milita.
Jose Padilla (muslim) is a dead ringer for the "John Doe #2" police drawing from OKC.
Bring back the Constitutional form of government we had, with strict interpretation of the Constitution to mean today what it meant to those who wrote it over 200 years ago and we will get along just fine.
"Depending on your perspective, the rise of private, anti-government militias represents either the very best of American patriotism or is an ominous sign of a violent future." false dilemma
But they have long since just become another mouthpiece for the DNC.
Because the original target, the Klan, got reduced to insignificance. Not being satisfied with defeating a genuine hate group, the SPLC had to scramble to justify its further existence. So they invented, or labeled other groups as bogeymen. Much like the leeches in the civil rights movement. Mission accomplished, now what do we do? Perpetuate the problem, as predicted by Booker T Washington.
What have the SPLC's remarks been regarding Jeremiah Wright and his Black Liberation theology? (Rhetorical question)
The Southern Poverty Law Center must be hurting for donations and are trying to frighten their donors into giving them more largesse. Gotta continue to get those big salaries.
54% eh, that's a pretty exact number. Where are the membership lists to back up the claim and how come no one ever asks me to join?
Very interesting and enlightening. I am cynical about all these kinds of groups and their phoney "fights against discrimination" from the get-go, thanks for confirming my instincts in this case.
So, what do they all "hate" exactly?
Anti-government militia groups ...
Shouldn't that be "non-government militia" groups, which I'm sure scares them even more?
Post #29 from Harrius Magnus seems to outline the bottom line of these kinds of groups very well-money. No different from the shakedowns by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their ilk-strictly about the money. Justice is the last thing on their minds, it's all about extorting money or ginning up hatred against whites for money. They are quite cynical about it too. Fomenting racial discord all so they can make a quick buck, or a few millions.
I'm joining the militia!
Well, finally a ray of sunshine - it's about time!!!
The Sons of Liberty were a hate group according to the SPLC. If you disagree with the messiah it must be because he's black. I wonder if you disagree with Palin it's because she's a woman. Nah, that could be.
Yes, yes it is.
I prefer to call it the Southern Perjury & Lie Center.
The SPLC is a racist, radical leftist group. Naturally the MSM represents everything these kooks say as gospel, portraying any actual American who stands up for his Constitutional rights as the next Tim McVeigh! It's intimidation 101, but I'm not certain that the left will get by with it this time. Too many seniors are far too mad. And each of these people has a son or daughter unwilling to have Hussein pronounce a death sentence because mom and dad are "too old" to treat!
Thanks. I can see especially when they use a child as a plant and Sheila Jackson Lee uses a fake doctor at a meeting. Lee anc this fake doctor should be prosecuted.
Patriot militiamen are your best friends (make sure you have a semiautomatic rifle, ammo and a month of training).

SA Recommits to the Development of the Ocean and Wildlife Economies at World Parks Congress 2014
The Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs, Barbara Thomson, has recommitted South Africa to the development of the ocean and wildlife economies in South Africa.
"Our vision is to ensure socio-economic transformation and growth of the biodiversity economy, while ensuring the entrance of the landholders and previously disadvantaged communities into the mainstream economy to restore their pride and dignity," said Thomson at the closing plenary of the IUCN 6th World Parks Congress.
Heads of state, government officials, NGOs and members of civil society gathered at the Sydney Olympic Park from 12th to the 19th of November 2014 to discuss the vital role of protected areas in conserving nature while contributing to socio-economic development. The more than 6 000 delegates from 170 countries also discussed the value of protected areas in climate change resilience and conservation of iconic species.
The South Africa delegation to the World Parks Congress 2014 was led by the Minister of Environmental Affairs, Mrs Edna Molewa, and Ms Thomson. The South African representation included officials from the Department of Environmental Affairs who participated in discussions aligned to the Congress theme of 'Parks, people, planet: inspiring solutions'.
Delivering South Africa's pledge to the Sydney Congress, Thomson said "Our government's commitment in terms of Vision 2024 is to create at least 60 000 new sustainable jobs in the wildlife industry, ensure that 2 million hectares of new conservation land is acquired and restored and that more than a million poverty-stricken people are supported."
The Deputy Minister further promised "South Africa, through the Presidential lead project called Operation Phakisa, promises to triple our Ocean Protection over the next ten years through the creation of a network of Marine Protected Areas within our Exclusive Economic Zone. This will indeed unlock the economic potential of our oceans whilst increasing our ability to cope with, and adapt to, the impacts of climate change as a developing continent."
Speaking at the High Level Round Table Discussion on the 18th of November, where leaders discussed 'The Promise of Sydney' as the main outcome of the week-long Congress, Thomson said emphasis needs to be placed on youth empowerment and participation of communities in the park business. South Africa, she said, would also like the Promise to include:
• Exploring community equity options, entrepreneurship and private sector partnership.
• Unlocking the economic potential of community owned land.
• Unlocking the economic potential of oceans and coast.
• Partnering in combating wildlife crime.
• Building resilience for communities and ecosystems against climate change.
• Improving trans-boundary cooperation.
The High Level Round Table Discussion was hosted by IUCN President, Mr Zhang Xinsheng, attended by Commonwealth and African Ministers, as well as Mr Greg Hunt, the Minister of Environment of Australia, and the New South Wales Minister of Environment, Mr Rob Stokes. This session primarily discussed 'The Promise of Sydney' which is a joint vision for the decade and beyond on what is needed to achieve transformational change for parks, people and planet. 'The Promise of Sydney', which includes many of South Africa's proposals, has been published as the main outcome document of the Congress (http://worldparkscongress.org/about/promise_of_sydney_vision.html ).
'The Promise of Sydney', lauds the establishment of new marine protected areas, acknowledges the increasing role of indigenous peoples, community, and privately-conserved areas in reaching biodiversity conservation and societal goals, and the opportunities presented by new communication and other technologies to better understand and engage new constituencies, including young people. The Promise commends numerous improvements to corporate practice, and the many success stories and varied partnerships across sectors for nature conservation and sustainability.
Addressing the High Level Round Table Discussion, Thomson acknowledged the role played by the Southern African Development Community in conservation, particularly since the region's economy relied heavily on ecosystem goods and services derived from protected areas.
Thomson added that as a developing country it was imperative for South Africa to create jobs and provide economic opportunities that would uplift the lives of the majority of the people whilst conserving biodiversity. The World Parks Congress is held every 10 years. South Africa hosted the 5th Congress in Durban in 2003.
The Minister and Deputy Minister held a number of bilateral meetings and participated in the World Leaders' Dialogue series where issues such as building resilient parks, sustainable financing of protected areas, strengthening partnerships, the illegal wildlife trade and the value of protected areas to conservation and socio-economic development were discussed.
