Judith Bronte
For the past seventeen years, Sarah Fall has been writing romantic fiction under the pen name of Judith Bronte, and has a growing international readership that keep coming back for her latest stories. She's written eight novels, and is currently working on her ninth.
Her literary inspirations include Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, both of whom have been strong influences in her writing, and taught her to infuse passion and dialogue into each love story.
Sarah lives in Southern California (USA), and has worked as a website designer and graphic artist, before transitioning into a full-time inspirational romance writer. The model she uses for a healthy marriage in her writing, came from observing her parents' strong relationship. Their example of marital unity and close friendship are elements that continually slip into her stories in one form or another.
She developed a love for the written word through her father. As a child, Sarah remembers watching him endlessly read, and after that wonderful world was opened to her, authors such as Laura Ingalls Wilder and L. M. Montgomery would keep her turning those pages and eagerly wondering what came next. When she became older, authors like Jane Austen taught her about the power of conversation in a novel, while Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" taught her to infuse passion into her words. Sarah loves a romance that is sweet and passionate, and works to capture that in her own stories.
Possessing an active imagination, writing is a way for Sarah to wrestle all that creative energy into something productive. She started writing love stories in 1998, and with her mom's coaxing, Sarah brought her offering to the Internet. Over a million words later, the stories are still building a global readership, the website is still growing, and the writing is still pushing her imagination on a consistent basis. Sarah considers herself a storyteller first, and a writer second, and strives to create characters that come to life on the page. Romance novels combine the romantic drama Sarah loves so much in a novel, with the opportunity to tell a compelling story that won't let her readers go until the very last page.
Love stories have long been Sarah's passion. She loves to capture the dynamics of a romantic relationship, and the challenge of bringing two people together from different backgrounds and finding a way to make that relationship work. Her style often follows the characters even after they marry, so readers get to see how their relationship works after the I-do's. There's always lots of dialogue, and Sarah loves to bring the drama home to the reader, through the characters, themselves.

City Council hears citizen concerns [Durant Daily Democrat, Okla. :: ]
(Durant Daily Democrat (OK) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) July 10--City Council began its July meeting in a brand new way. This month marks the first time council openly heard comments from the public on non-agenda items.
Two citizens spoke to council before the agenda items were addressed. Oden Grube asked the council about how they will be replacing the cemetery board since all members had resigned.
Mayor Jerry Tomlinson said that the council had not yet appointed a new board but is looking into a new structure for the board as well as appointing members.
Betty Colclazier questioned the leasing of the old country club. City Manager Jim Dunegan addressed her concerns saying that the building is leased on a year to year basis in order to keep the building in good condition.
He also said the activities and uses of the building are restricted to protect the property.
City Council addressed more citizen concerns during the public hearing portion of the meeting. A zoning change will soon allow for a convenience store to be located on the corner of University Avenue and 49th Avenue in Durant.
Some residents in the area were present to speak against the zoning change. Residents such as Betty Colclazier said they do not want a convenience store in their backyards.
"I want to keep it just the way it is. It is residential and it's our home," said Colclazier. She said she understands progress in Durant but does not want it in her backyard.
Concerns about the store's placement included increased traffic and noise and increased water drainage.
Citizens were informed that the store would be responsible for making sure there is no increase in water drainage but the other concerns were not addressed.
The rezoning of the property was approved. Mayor Tomlinson said this decision was partially because there was just as much if not more citizens in favor of the store.
In other business, it was announced that work is scheduled to begin on the water tower at the Southeastern Oklahoma State University campus this week.
The council also gave out its quarterly service awards. Five city employees received awards for their time with the city.
Miles Gooding of Emergency Management and 911 dispatcher Sheila Salas received five-year service wards.
Both received a certificate, lapel pin and a $50 check. Marie Goolsby from the information technology department received a 10-year service award.
She was given a certificate, lapel pin and $100 check for her services. Jerry Yandell from Community Development and Phillip Hightower from the water treatment plant both received their 15-year service awards.
Both men were given certificate, lapel pin and $150 check. Mayor Tomlinson and City Manager Jim Dunegan expressed their appreciation for the recipients' hard work.

Imagine yourself as a small dog. Your owner just came home and you are afraid. First, you run to the safest place you can find to hide your bruised body. But there is no use; they have already found you. It's all over now. This is what many animals deal with daily. Some animals have had to deal with this their whole life. As a sixth grade student, I would like to advocate for animal rights and for the end to animal abuse.
Animal abuse is hurtful not only to animals, but humans, too. It may hurt both humans and animals physically and emotionally. Frequently, animals are objects for human entertainment. There is also controversy with animal testing on human-use products. Episodes of animals isolated to chains and beaten may often get overlooked.
Many people strongly hate the abuse of animals and are disturbed by it. Many people, including me, believe animals should be free. We shouldn't be able to keep animals if we don't treat them right. We should treat animals the way we want to be treated. If humans have the right to be free, then animals do, too.

On Sunday, March 15, local boys Luke & Matty Erhard, Chris Moore, George Clark, John Scaccia, Tommy Laible, and Brian Ostrander won the Tier II Squirt State Hockey Championship competing with the Greater New York Stars at Niagara University. The Stars competed against some of the state's most talented youth hockey players. Behind the goaltending of Matty (Roy) & Luke (Pooky) Erhard, (1.60 goals against average) and defensive play of Tommy Laible & John Scaccia, the team was able to record two of the tournament's overall four shutouts. George Clark, Chris Moore, Brian Ostrander, John Scaccia and Tommy Laible were responsible for 11 of the teams 16 goals throughout the tournament. People from the region and across the border left the arena stunned as the boys from the beach left with the championship trophy and banner. The boys' overall record for the year was 56 wins, 7 losses, 6 ties and 3 tournament championships.

Give Conway a chance in November
To the editor:
I'm taking this opportunity to thank the many kind people who have opened doors for us during this campaign for the Nov. 2 general election.
Now I'd like to ask a question: If computers, Facebook, YouTube and Topix could be weighed on the left hand, and experience, common sense, honesty and integrity could be weighed on the right, which hand would get your vote?
The right hand will get my vote every time. I consider [judge-executive candidate] John Wayne Conway to be that right hand.

While we talked, I discovered that Maralyn loves watching shows on Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. She also loves to sing and wants to be a singer when grows up so she can buy a house with chandeliers and get her mother a maid.
Will someone please quit winding the clock? Time is moving way too fast. It's almost October, though you couldn't much tell it by the weather we're having now.
I brought out the Old Farmer's Almanac to see what was forecast for October. On the plus side, it calls for 2.5 inches of rain. Rain showers, mixed with warm and sunny days, make up most of the month. One exciting note for the 21st through the 29th is snow showers. Kind of hard to imagine that right now.

Using object trees in data stores
Hi All,
I have been using Ext JS on-and-off for quite a while now (the on and off depends on whether I am doing front-end work at the start-up I work at or not). Occasionally I face a situation where I want to make use of actual objects in my data stores instead of just flat objects (or maps). I can't imagine this is an isolated case as I assume other people are doing exactly what I am - trying to get data from my server side model into my Ext JS application which lives in the view of my application. The most common case for applications such as these is to store the data for the application's model in a Relation DB which have one-to-many and many-to-many relationships as we all know.
Server side MVC frameworks provide an object orientated solution to this through the use of Object Relation Mapping. This means we can navigate an object tree that directly represents the underlying data present in the RDB. I am beginning to wonder why Ext JS doesn't do something similar. Ext JS is really pushing the boundaries of what we consider part of the traditional view to the point where it can almost be considered as a MVC framework in itself. As such, I think improvement needs to be made in the movement of data between client and server.
What I would like to see in future versions of Ext JS (and I mention this because I see a major overhaul of Ext.data is in the 4.0 roadmap) is the ability to pull entire segments of our model object tree from the server into the client. That means doing away with the current design of Records with a flat list of fields belonging to a Store. I realise this is a major change from how things are done presently but I think it could have a real big impact on how we design our Ext JS based view components of our web applications going forward.
Let me give you a quick example. Let's say I have the following simple model - a Dog which can have many Toys. Lets say I want to present a Grid to my users that displays a list of Dog records. Currently I would probably create a GridPanel with a backing store to parse some JSON/XML from the server. If I wanted to show a list of toys in that grid (maybe truncated with a QuikTip to show the full list) I would need to pre-process my data server side to return some custom JSON/XML to return to the store. If I then wanted to edit that Dog row in the grid, including its toys, I would then need to pop a window (or something similar) which presented the user with an edit form while also hitting the server again to get the data for my dog record (the list of toys in particular because all the grid has is a flat string representation of toys - I needed to return a flat list of properties not a rich object which would maintain the relationships of my model). Take simple relationships like this and repeat them through-out your model and you have to repeat this process over and over.
If we could import entire portions of the of the model object tree directly into the client side data store, with the example above, we would only have to hit the server once. Not only this, but we might be able to create a generic layer in our server side ORM code that will be able to fulfil requests for data by our view without us needing to code every instance of it (no more generating 1 dimensional JSON/XML representations of our models over and over). With all the advances with Ext JS Grids and UI controls, you might even be able to imagine a scenario where I edit the Dog (including toys) directly in the grid itself. You could even imagine a full version Ext JS client application (IE a border layout full window app) that transparently fetches data from the server when needed in the background using the built-in server side ORM - all that is needed is a definition of the data much like it is server side.
There are some obvious criticisms I can think of at the top of my head:
- The view should not be directly accessing data from the model - I think this is a little old school. The traditional server-side MVC was conceived when our views were basic and AJAX was not very wide spread at all. Librarys like Ext JS have redefined what a view is and what it can do. We need to move forward with it and I think version 4.0 sounds like a great place.
- Giving the client side direct access to an ORM style data fetching API is a security flaw - I agree - giving blind access is definitely not a good idea. We need to find a happy medium. I really believe that the web is moving towards a RESTful model where all the server does is provide us with the data and operations or processing of that data. Rich clients like what is possible with Ext JS take care of the rest. Even if I am incorrect, REST gives a great example of how to implement a client accessible data API which very much depends on user permissions.
- I might be right, maybe some applications are moving this way, but not all are. Most make use of Ext JS to enrich their applications but don't base write their entire client using it - Also true. Ext JS should still be able to support the old way (or maybe an updated version of the old way), but even applications like these would be able to take advantage of the new way.
A version of Ext JS that really embraced data like a server side MVC framework does would be particularly useful for someone like me who is working on an application that uses a full window Ext JS border layout and communicates with it's server via REST. As things currently stand, we have to almost completely re-write the current Ext.data solution and plug in our own.
Interested to hear thoughts.

Interesting post and topic!
Did you already see this blog post on some of the Model goodness available in Sencha Touch and (hopefully) coming to Ext4?
Some of what you describe is even possible today, I think. Records in a Store created with JsonReader have a property called json, which contains the original JSON source object sent by the server. So your server can return JSON objects with nested objects or arrays in them and the record.json propery will give you access to it (for example in custom renderers). So you are not really limited to flat records when using a store.
17 Nov 2010 2:02 PM #3
Thanks for your reply Luc and thanks for pointing me to that blog post. I have been keeping up with the sencha touch news but not been following it closely as I haven't quite made it to the mobile space yet.
The blog post looks like it is a very promising start to a solution of the problem I was talking about. It is a little releaving too see this blog post as it means I'm not the only person thinking along this line. I still see a couple of areas that I think could be improved:
- The configuration of our client side model should have an option to be automatically configured by the server. Anyone that uses a modern server side MVC framework will already have all the information relating to their model stored on there server. In my case, it is in the form of objects as I use Django mostly. A one off call to the server early on would mean we can automatically configure our client side model using a pre-defined JSON or XML response format.
- The implementation documented in the blog post, as far as I can tell, still uses old style Stores at its heart which means flat objects like we currently have. I would really just prefer access to the model object I can navigate instead of a it being wrapped in a store. This issue is easy to solve on server side MVC frameworks because they aren't asynchronous, but will require a little more thought to implement properly in Ext JS.
If these things were implemented, I think this new data model would probably address all issues from my first post. It would definitely simplify writing Ext JS code for myself greatly.

Ext JS 4 shares Sencha Touch's new data package, including associations between models. These use a very server side-like MVC style - see http://www.slideshare.net/edspencer/...4-architecture for a hint at what is coming with a few code samples.
We will incorporate the ability to configure client-side models via metadata.Ext JS Senior Software Architect

Only a couple of miles away from Husky Stadium, football coach Tyrone Willingham found the new lead man of his next recruiting class.
Willingham, whose uncertain future had some worried about recruiting, received a commitment Thursday from Garfield High School defensive tackle Deandre Coleman, considered by many to be the top senior in the state.
Coleman had previously indicated that he would wait to commit until after the season and take all of his official visits, but he decided this week he would rather have his commitment out of the way before the football season began. High-school practice begins Wednesday.
"I talked it over with my family, and I felt it was the best place for me," Coleman said. "I like coach Willingham. I have a good relationship with the coaches. I feel I have a good chance to play early. This is the right place for me."

Coleman, who grew up near the UW and wanted to stay close to his family, was not held back by Willingham's uncertain job status.
"He's a good coach, and I like him," Coleman said. "I feel he should be here."
After winning over a highly-rated recruiting class in 2008, Willingham was the last coach in the Pac-10 to receive a commitment this summer. His first didn't come until July 23, when California quarterback Keith Price committed. Three more commitments have come since, but none of those recruits come close to Coleman's level nationally.
"He's really the one national-level recruit (from Washington), the guy who could play for just any top-20 program," said Greg Biggins, a Pac-10 recruiting analyst for ESPN.com. "He's the one must-have recruit you need to get."
Scout.com ranks Coleman, 6-4, 285 pounds, as the 13th-best defensive tackle in the country, and he chose the Huskies instead of offers from defending national champion LSU, Oregon and California.
This marks the second consecutive year Willingham has successfully recruited the top-rated player in the state; he signed Lakes' blue-chip tight end, Kavario Middleton, last year.
"If you can keep that top player in the state every year, that's a great place to start," Biggins said.

Blogger Patrick Malone writes:
"The Award for Most Fear-Mongering Health Care Statement of the Year … goes to Skip Lockwood, head of a prostate cancer advocacy group called Zero. When the US Preventive Services Task Force recommended against routine screening of men with the PSA blood test, Lockwood said the PSTF's advice "condemns tens of thousands of men to die this year and every year going forward…" … But don't try to confuse the advocates with scientific facts. They'd rather play on emotions."
Lockwood is Zero's CEO. The group's COO, Jamie Bearse, recently wrote on my blog about the chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society:
"Otis Brawley has killed more men by giving them an excuse to not be tested."
Welcome to the management team of ZERO – The Project to End Prostate Cancer.
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address. We will also end any thread of repetitive comments. We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it. Please see more on our comments policy.
Gary, I had thought that the award should go to M. Bachmann for her HPV vaccination causes 'mental retardation.' Clearly, she is edged out by Mr. Zero. However, the times require due consideration to the forces of nonsense. We should defer the award until New Year's day.
Hi Gary –
It's me again. You're best friend. I wanted to share with you the research on PSA testing so the people who stumble upon your blog would know the truth. Further, it's sad that you have sided with number-crunchers instead of doctors that the idea of prostate cancer testing causes more harm than good.
First the USPSTF misgivings:
– The Decision is based on the PLCO trial which has concluded to have extremely tainted evidence where men in the control group WERE tested for prostate cancer. USPSTF ignored the NCI's recommendation following the discovery of the tainted results but plowed ahead to make recommendation.
– Not one urologist or oncologist sat on the group making the recommendation. If you're constructing policy to the nation, you should absolutely get the opinion of people who work in the field. It's like making fishing laws without consulting a marine biologist.
Onto the Research:
AUA data
-The PSA test and advances in treatment have led to a 40 percent reduction in prostate cancer deaths since the mid-1990s, and 90 percent* of all prostate cancers are now discovered before they spread outside the gland. The survival rate is nearly 100 percent* when prostate cancer is detected early, while the tumor is still localized and hasnt spread. (*American Urological Association)
Annuls of Oncology
-A study published online in Sept. 2011 in the Annals of Oncology showed mortality from prostate cancer in the U.S. dropped an estimated 23 to 38 percent, depending on the age group examined, in the years 2002 through 2006, as compared to 1985-1989 — just before the PSA test was widely adopted.
Goteborg Study
-The results of the Göteborg Randomized Population-based Prostate Cancer Screening Trial, released in July 2010, showed a 44 percent decline in prostate cancer deaths as a result of PSA testing. In this Swedish study, partially funded by the National Cancer Institute, an analysis of some 20,000 men was conducted during a 14-year period.
-As a result of the Göteborg study, the National Cancer Institute in July 2010 acknowledged the signification amount of contamination in the PLCO study because of men in the trial who had already undergone screening with a PSA test, which a number of researchers have said may preclude the (PLCO) trial from ever demonstrating a cancer-specific survival improvement."
European Randomized Study (worlds largest randomized screening trial on prostate cancer)
-The European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) which began in the 1992, involved more than 182,000 men (ages 50 to 74) in seven European countries who were followed over a 17-year period.
-Four different analyses of the ERSPC data, based on an average 9 year follow-up review, show the following results due to PSA testing:
-37% decline in prostate cancer deaths. By utilizing a control group of men from Northern Ireland, where PSA screening is infrequent, this research shows a 37 percent reduction in prostate cancer deaths when compared to men who were PSA tested as part of the ERSPC study. (European Journal of Cancer, Oct. 2009)
-31% decline in prostate cancer deaths. This ERSPC analysis, which scrubs out data contamination issues and concentrates only on men who were actually PSA tested, shows a 31 percent reduction in prostate cancer deaths. (European Urology, July 2009)
– 27% decline in prostate cancer deaths. Another ERSPC analysis, also removing contaminated data, shows a 27 percent reduction in the prostate cancer death rate. (Reviews in Urology, Summer 2009)
-20% decline in prostate cancer deaths. Preliminary ERSPC findings in early 2009 noted that PSA testing produced a 20 percent reduction in prostate cancer deaths. (New England Journal of Medicine, March 2009)
I challenge you, Gary. I challenge you to produce a poll that shows more urologists and oncologists agreeing with the USPSTF than agreeing with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network – the real group that sets the standard in cancer testing. Further, please – I implore you – to write a blog about my comments here as they will shed a light on which one of us is bending science to fit philosophy.
Finally, the cost of health care is out of control and the struggle is on to reduce the burden. The prostate recommendation, like the commission's equally bogus notion in 2009 to do fewer mammograms, is a failure of putting dollars in front lives. Americans trust doctors to their health, not the government.
We certainly need a better test and diagnosis methods for patients at risk for many diseases. And the fight continues to achieve that. Meanwhile, at the risk of practicing medicine without a license – which you often do, I would recommend men get tested, know the score and grade then make smart decisions on their treatment.
Best Regards,
Jamie Bearse
You wrote that it's sad that you have sided with number-crunchers instead of doctors that the idea of prostate cancer testing causes more harm than good. Are you, yourself, blind to the number of evidence-based doctors – yes, doctors – who have pointed out how screening can cause more harm than good?
It is becoming a tired old argument that has no merit when you write:
Not one urologist or oncologist sat on the group making the recommendation. If you're constructing policy to the nation, you should absolutely get the opinion of people who work in the field. It's like making fishing laws without consulting a marine biologist.
Cute, but without argumentative merit.
Give me an evidence-based primary care physician with no subspecialty conflict of interest when it comes to making recommendations for primary care medicine. That is, after all, what the USPSTF is charged with.
Since when does it require a subspecialty in urology in order to evaluate evidence? Who knows? With a little training, you might be better able to evaluate evidence yourself.
So your challenge to me to produce a poll that shows more urologists and oncologists agreeing with the USPSTF than agreeing with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network is a non-starter with me.
I dont happen to believe that prostate cancer screening recommendations should be determined by polls. You can do your own poll and do whatever you want with it.
Finally, you make one more egregious error when you claim that I am practicing medicine without a license. In fact, if youd done your homework, you would have seen that part of my stated policy on my blog is this:
We don't give medical advice so we won't respond to questions asking for it.
How much more explicit than that can I be?
Meantime, you are the one who gives health care advice when you write that you recommend men get tested.
In 2009, the Association of Health Care Journalists had it's annual conference in Seattle. Journalists were invited to tour some of the robotic surgery labs at U of W. There, we met surgeons who were practitioners of prostate surgery using the DaVinci robot. Even they admitted that the patient outcome data for using the robots was equivocal, at best. They also noted that Medicare reimbursement for robotic surgery was considerably higher than for 'traditional' prostatectomies.
Jamie, you note that health care costs are 'out of control' but the data point to the fact that testing, such as PSA testing, is one of the drivers of those rising costs, with questionable benefit.
Taking this little slice of the prostate cancer debate, PSA testing annually costs hundreds of millions a year, paid in large part by Medicare. Treating all of those false positives and folks who can't bear carrying the 'cancer diagnosis' with them and who chose treatment over watchful waiting costs hundreds of millions a year. "Advanced" treatments, such as DaVinci cost, on average $10K-$15K more per patient, and the large majority of patients now choose robotic surgery, totaling hundreds of millions a year.
You can't tell me 1) that urologists don't have a financial interest in maintaining the status quo of testing and treating (and getting reimbursed for every test and procedure and office visit) and 2) that in this case, "prevention" is cheaper when there are so many false positives as a result of testing.
Personally, I'm glad there are no urologists on the USPSTF PSA committee. That seems to make sense. I'd trust them more to put data before dollars than folks who are making bank off of all that testing and treatment.
The goal behind the USPSTF is to determine better outcomes, when it comes with less cost attached, so much the better.

AGUA CALIENTE: Grand Palms Buffet to offer Canadian favorites
Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa is getting into the Canadian spirit.
The Grand Palms Buffet at the casino will be offering a number of Canadian culinary favorites through Friday, Jan. 31.
What can you expect? How about some Molson Canadian beer? The 8 oz beers are offered for both lunch and dinner. Other specialites include cider & maple glazed duck and beavertails.
What are beavertails? Not actual beaver tails. It's a classic dessert that is essentially a fried dough that happens to look like a beaver tail.
The buffet also has a number of other specials included in the promotion.
The Grand Palms buffet lunch is from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily and is $14.99 (cheaper with rewards cards). Dinner starts around 4 p.m. and runs $19.99-$23.99 depending on the day of the week.

Are we comparing the stock price now with the price in the same quarter in 2012? If that's the case, $30 would be the reference for you.

Ohio Exit Polls - Clinton Gets the Gang Back Together
Voting is staying open late in Ohio due to some nasty weather, but the networks have their exit polls out. Clinton is putting her old coalition (that Obama was meticulously dismantling) back together.
Whites were 75% of the vote — they went 61-38 for Clinton over Obama.
Blacks were 19% of the vote — they went 89-11 for Obama over Clinton.
Voters 44 and under went for Obama. Voters 45 and older went for Clinton.
Men were just 41% of the vote — they went 52-47 for Obama.
Women were 59% of the vote — they went 54-45 for Clinton.
Clinton won voters making under $50,000 a year. Obama just barely won voter making over $50,000 a year. Clinton's 50/50 voters are back!
Self-identified Democrats were two-thirds of the vote. They went 53-46 for Clinton. Self-identified Republicans and independents were one-third of the vote. They went roughly 55-45 for Obama.
Clinton won economic voters (the majority) and health care voters (roughly 20%), while Obama won Iraq War voters (also roughly 20%).
I think it's safe to say that Clinton has arrested Obama's momentum in Ohio. Looking at these numbers, I would guess Clinton takes the state by a small margin. Clinton has her base back together: women, older voters, low-income voters, and core Democrats.

A vest is a sleeveless piece of clothing that's usually worn over a shirt. Your dad might love to wear his favorite striped sweater vest to parties, which is less embarrassing than when he wears the orange furry one.
There are different kinds of vests, including sweater vests, puffy winter vests, and tailored suit vests, usually worn underneath a formal jacket. Some vests have buttons, and others have zippers or snaps. Some are even bullet proof! When vest is a verb, it means to grant or bestow: "The Queen vests control of the zoos to the Royal Zookeeper." Both meanings of vest come from the same root word, the Latin vestire, "to clothe."
Definitions of vest
n a man's sleeveless garment worn underneath a coat
- Synonyms:
- waistcoat

a vest capable of resisting the impact of a bullet

1990 ford ranger, 2.9l, V6, starts and runs rough, however after 20 minutes rpms go way down, backfires, and will only go 10 to 15 miles per hour. Happens every time. Then if you leave truck off for a few hours will do same; start rough and run until next 20 minutes of running, when power really reduces again. Changed plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, fuel filter; same problem continues?

text: I have a steel Schwinn PDG Series, I've upgraded the fork to a 700c Carbon fiber fork, and I have built a set of 700c wheels, but the problem is the geometry of the rear triangle has plenty of room near the bottom bracket, yet almost no room near the stay bridge. My question is how much work would it be for a frame builder to cut out the stay and move it up about a 1/2 an inch? Also by doing so how much risk is involved in the process? Is this a recommended practice?

» Arena Pharmaceuticals' Management Presents at Credit Suisse 2012 Healthcare Conference (Transcript)
John Orwin
Thank you very much and welcome. It's a great pleasure to be here this afternoon and to provide an update on Affymax and the launch of our products OMONTYS. I should point out that we will be making forward-looking statements and our results may vary from projections that we may make and I would recommend that you look to our latest 10-Q on file for a complete discussion of our risk factors.
So this is actually the safety information of OMONTYS which comes along with actually having an approved product. So it's actually better to have than not to have I suppose. OMONTYS was approved back in late March for the treatment chronic kidney disease in adult patients who are on dialysis in order to correct their anemia and as you'll see, the label is very similar as are the warning for OMONTYS as exists for other ESAs including Aranesp. Here is a shot of the product itself. It represents the first one's monthly ESA available in the United States. The market for ESA and dialysis has been primarily Epogen which is a 13 times a month product and again approved for treatment of anemia and this chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis.
So, first one once monthly product launch in the second quarter. We compete in a large market. it's a little greater than $2 billion net in the US and we believed and I think it's been affirmed in the marketplace that there was a strong desire to have therapeutic alternative to Epogen and Aranesp to the existing ESAs particularly in the dialysis setting which had up until we launched earlier this year than for all intents and purposes a monopoly market for over two decades. So we're about four months into the launch and we're happy to report on some terrific progress that we've made. Fresenius which is the largest dialysis provider in the US has undertaken a fairly large scale conversion. They've converted over 10,000 patients at this point and we have a supply agreement in place with them and we'll be working toward a long term supply agreement. We announced last week on our earnings call that we signed two additional medium sized dialysis organizations or MDOs bringing the total to four out of the existing six, so roughly two things of the available business on the MOD side.
And then we've also achieve a meaningful penetration into the smaller and independent dialysis organizations as well which among them make up about 15% or $300 million of the total market.
As I'll describe in a bit, we have a very strong strategic alliance with Takeda Pharmaceuticals who have responsibility for OMONTYS ex-US and with whom we have collaboration and a profit split inside the United States. We also reported $100 million in cash and investments at the end of the third quarter.
So to begin with, OMONTYS is a differentiated product. It does bind to and stimulate the erythropoietin receptors in the way that conventional cell derived ESA such as Epogen do. But is a synthetic peptide based ESA. So non-cell derived. And in fact has no shared structural homology with either endogenous erythropoietin or the recombinant ESAs.
Safety and efficacy were demonstrated in a very large Phase III program in dialysis and particular two large randomized mutually supportive controlled trials. The evaluation was done for efficacy on the basis of non-inferiority looking at hemoglobin stability and control and each of those studies was independently powered for efficacy and met its primary and secondary endpoints.
Safety was evaluated on the basis of a blinded independently and judicated (ph) comprehensive cardiovascular safety analysis and were really the first product in this category to have done that evaluation and the safety analysis was a pool analysis across the two studies in dialysis as well as two studies in pre-dialysis again, meeting the primary and secondary endpoints for safety in this large analysis which included over 2,500 patients.
So as mentioned before, we're approved for chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis but it's important to point out that the label we were granted includes both maintenance patients, patients who can be switched from EPO as well as so called incident patients or patients who are new to dialysis. Its counter-indicated and uncontrolled hypertensive patients and patients with serious allergic reactions as is the case for other ESAs. As mentioned before, the pox warnings were all very similar.
The package insert also includes a conversion table, there is a nonlinear dose conversion from EPO to Amicus, but it's actually very straight forward using the table that's included in the package insert. And that information allows you to correct dose either patients who are new to dialysis or patients who providers might be switching from Epogen. And then the product is also stable at room temperature for up to 30 days when its unused which actually is quite helpful to the dialysis centers themselves, the competitor products needing to be keep refrigerated.

"Chiangsean" Chiang Saen by pattayaraj
Chiang Saen Travel Guide: 25 reviews and 98 photos
60 kms in the North East of Chiang Rai Province.
A fortified city on the Mekong river. It was once an important city controling trade with Yunnan,Southern China . Founded in 1328 AD by a grandson of King Mang Rai .Rose during the Lanna period, governed by princes from the royal family of Chiang Mai . And came under Burmese rule in 1558. In 1804 , King Rama I prevented city from invaders by burnt the city and abandoned for many years
The old city situated on the West bank of Mae Khong River .
The city surrounded by moat built from brick in the shape of rectangle and parallels to the Mae Khong River. On 3 side of moat, there?re 5 city gates and fortifications in a curve plan called Yang Teong gate ( N ) / Nong Mud gate,Chiang Saen gate , Tap Man gate ( W ) / Dinkor gate ( S ) .
Inside and outside the city , there?re so many buddhist temples ,most ?re ruins. The important temple (Wat) ?re Wat Chedi Luang ,Wat Pa Sak (outside ,near the Chiang Sean gate) ,Wat Pra That Chomkitti (outside on the North West ,on Jomkitti mountain). The art and architectural style of all ancient temples shows a unique style of Chiang Sean art in Lanna period.

Freshman John La Rusch has been named the Sports Imports/AVCA Division I-II Men's National Player of the Week.
Feb. 21, 2012
LONG BEACH - Freshman opposite John La Rusch has been named the Sports Imports/AVCA Men's Division I-II National Player of the Week the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced Tuesday.
La Rusch led Long Beach State to a 3-2 (25-16, 25-18, 20-25, 25-27, 15-9) upset win over then No. 1 UCLA with a career-high 21 kills. He also finished with a .325 hitting percentage, five digs and two blocks.
La Rusch, who was making just his second start of his young career, was LBSU's go-to hitter all match and he didn't disappoint in the clutch as he had three consecutive kills late in the decisive fifth set to put Long Beach State up, 13-7. He then went on to notch his 21st kill to give the 49ers match point at 14-8.
La Rusch's performance earned him the start three days later against then No. 15 UC Santa Barbara, where he totaled eight kills, three digs and three blocks in two sets played in the four-set victory.
On the weekend, the Long Beach native was tops on the team in kills (29), kills per set (4.14), points (31.5) and points per set (4.50).
This is the 23rd time a Long Beach State men's volleyball player has been named a Sports Imports/AVCA Player of the Week, and is the first for La Rusch. Josh Riley was the last 49er to garner the award for the week of April 25, 2011.
No. 9 Long Beach State is back in action this weekend when it heads to fourth-ranked UC Irvine (Feb. 24) and UC San Diego (Feb. 25).

I appreciate the art and graphics portrayed in these screenshots. The graphics aren't too flashy and nice, so I know plenty of people will be able to run this game, and they also are not ugly. I tend to dislike top of the line graphics because they detract from the rest of the game. The graphics are right above average.
The artwork of everything looks nice, because it has a realistic look and feel to them. I am glad that the Devs with Darkfall sent in some new screenshots and I look forward with anticipation for the completion of this game.

This review is from: Seagate Momentus Thin ST250LT003 250GB 5400 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive
Pros: Low price, 5.9 on the WEI for a lower speed drive. I like the 16MB cache, that's more than your standard drive in this size, usually they come with 8MB. 250GB is a decent sized replacement for a laptop that people don't download things onto, runs windows 7 beautifully. Booted up and installed no issues. Still running now.
Cons: 250GB is not good for people who like to download everything in the world. I always get a bit worried when ordering parts online, especially things that might be subject to G-forces before they get here like HDDs, but this one came in just fine. I was a bit worried it might come in an envelope but it came in a box. Other than that, no problems yet!
Other Thoughts: OEM drive means no cables/software comes with the drive, so make sure you have all the stuff you need. Would order again for replacement in laptop units, but consider going solid state at this point in laptops. I don't understand why manufacturers keep putting platter drives in laptops, of all the parts that can fail from a bump while on, the HDD is the most susceptible. People don't realize how fragile the drive is when it's on, and you would be surprised how many times I see a dead drive in a laptop because they didn't realize it could be damaged from not dropping it. Other than that, very satisfied with this purchase! THANKS NEWEGG!

Oklahoma state Capitol briefs for Jan. 12
2 Powerball winners sought in state
The Oklahoma Lottery Commission is looking for the state's two newest millionaires. Lottery officials say two separate Powerball tickets from this week's drawing correctly matched all five white-ball numbers for a $1 million prize. One of the tickets, bought in Ravia, added the Power Play option to multiply the prize to $2 million. The ticket was bought at an E-Z Mart at the intersection of State Highways 1 and 22. The other $1 million ticket was bought at a Murphy USA station in Owasso. Wednesday night's winning numbers were 11, 13, 20, 27 and 59. The Powerball number was 26. Winners have 180 days to claim their prizes at lottery headquarters in Oklahoma City.
Death penalty stands in slaying
The state's top criminal appellate court Friday upheld the death sentence for a former firefighter who was convicted of the 2003 fatal shooting of an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper. Ricky Ray Malone, 38, was sentenced to death for the Dec. 26, 2003, killing of trooper Nikky Green, but the sentence was overturned in 2007 by the state Court of Criminal Appeals. A Comanche County judge in 2010 resentenced Malone to death after a new punishment hearing. Green found Malone on a Cotton County road in a car with a mobile methamphetamine lab, and the two struggled before Malone killed Green with the trooper's gun, authorities said. The Court said Malone's sentence to be "factually substantiated and appropriate."
Bill will target state plane use
A legislator said Friday he will file a measure to prohibit any statewide elected officials, other than the governor and lieutenant governor, from using state airplanes. Sen. Harry Coates, R-Seminole, said there is no reason for state elected officials or agency directors to charter state aircraft. None of the elected officials the past couple of years have used them, except for Insurance Commissioner John Doak, Coates said. Doak, a Republican, has used the aircraft to travel across Oklahoma to survey storm damage, as well as to attend speaking engagements and various meetings. Coates said Doak is wasting taxpayers' money.
Flags lowered for disabled advocate
American and Oklahoma flags on state property are being flown at half-staff until 8 a.m. Monday in honor of Steve Stokes, the longtime director of the state Office of Disability Concerns who died this week. Gov. Mary Fallin ordered the flags lowered to honor Stokes, who she said "worked tirelessly to promote the interests of all individuals with disabilities." Stokes had served as head of the state agency since 1989. His funeral is set for 11 a.m. Saturday at the Stufflebean-Coffey Funeral Home in Pauls Valley.

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - May 30, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa The Cedar Baplds Gazette: Thurs., May 30. 1974 Highway U9 Relocation Plans Again Delayed By Tom Fruehling AMES Approval of plans for relocation of Iowa highway 149 near the Amana colonies was delayed again Wednesday fay the Iowa highway commission and, based on a gloomy finan- cial report the commission re- ceived, the future of any new road construction is in doubt. The commission discussed the factors involved in building a new two-lane road near what is now county road W21 (L road) from interstate 80 to U.S. high- way 6. Among the problems faced are the reluctance of Iowa county to take possession of the present highway 149 once the new road is complete; the ar- guments against the project from affected land owners; and disagreement among the com- missioners as to need of the proposed road. Crippling Budget A new wrinkle, which came up when programming and scheduling Engineer G. W. An- derson reported to the commis- sion, is that inflation and other factors are severely crippling the highway budget. Anderson pointed out estimat- ed construction costs for the fis- cal year 1975, beginning July i. will be up 41 percent from the present period. "For the proposed 1975 proj- e c t s re-figured at today's Anderson said, "the cost will be S3 percent more than has been programmed." He added that new road proj- ects may have to be shelved, just as about million in 1974 programs have been de- layed until next year. "We may just have to forget about new he said. The 149 relocation could fall into this category. Two weeks ago the highway commission was set to go ahead with plans for the four-mile stretch of road, but put off ac- tion due to requests by oppo- nents for time to present ar- guments. No Intention Since then, to the surprise of at least two commission members, it was found Iowa county had no intention of tak- ing present highway 149 in its current condition. Commission Chairman Robert Rigler said he had been under impression the county had already agreed to do so, but learned this was a previously- broken agreement based on the construction of a freeway. In a letter sent to the conimis- fion, Iowa County Engineer Xord Sorcnson spelled out the conditions under which the county would accept highway 149. Spend Million One alternative called for the state to spend at least mil- lion to upgrade country road W21. This was rejected out of hand bv the commissioners since primary road funds can not legally be spent for county road improvements. The second alternative in- cludes upgrading 149 and other Iowa county road to primary standards, at a cost to the state of nearly million. Included in this improvement would be the addition of six-foot shoulders on 149 leveling some 13 substandard vertical drops, construction of a new intersec- tion at U.S. highway 6, repaint- ing of a bridge across the Iowa river on highway 411 and resur- facing the stub from highway 149 to Conroy. Unreasonable Commission Vice-chairman Stephen Garst said that, in view of the fact that the stale had al- ready spent rcpaving 149, the county's request was unreasonable. Director of Highways Joseph Coupal added that has already been programmed to improve the intersection of highways 149 and 6. State Committed Garst said that "I think should tell the county that we'll spend about to widen [he shoulders on 149 so that it's a safe road. They can pay for the other things. If the super- visors don't want that, they'll just have to live with a road that is substandard." Commission Chairman Robert Rigler commented he really wasn't in favor of expending any fuiuls for the present 149, since the slate "was committed to building the new 149." Commission members David Shalt and Jules Basker voiced doubts as to whether there was a need for the planned road, since they foil the acquisition of farm land might not be justified due to the expected traffic flow on the proposed road. With so much left in the air, the commission decided to delay action until arguments from op- ponents of the proposed route may be studied; new traffic flow figures of the area are available; upgrading construc- tion cosls are obtained, and re- sponse from the Iowa countv supervisors is made. Youths Named by Ray To Aid in Mapping Cave DBS MOKES (AP) Gov. Robert Ray has selected nine Iowa Scouts and Camp Fire Girls to serve as members of an Iowa geological survey team that will map the Cold Water Cave this summer. Ray is chairman of the Iowa geological board. The mapping team will make a detailed survey of that posi- tion of Cold Water Cave under- lying the Kenneth Flatland property in Winneshiek county. For the last two years, the geological survey has been con- ducting .experiments to deter- mine whether the state should acquire and develop the cave as a recreational site. The Scouts will assist in the mapping program for a month. They are: Richard Bishop, Coral ville; Kathy Thye, Cowrie; Leanne Clark, Fort Dodge; James Skogg, Iowa City; Kenneth Huck, Waverly; Mark Brown, Des Moines; Mike Bolts, Mar- shalltown; Lori Ferguson, Co- ralville, and Ann Dolan, Iowa Citv. Lighting at Intersections A Safety Factor: Study AMES In a survey which Director of Highways Joseph Coupal termed "the first of its kind to my knowledge the the Iowa high- way commission found light- ing at primary road intersec- tions reduces accidents. The report, presented to highway commissioners Wednesday, was ordered in November following lighting cutbacks due to the so-called -energy crisis. An accident comparison was made for 51 selected intersec- tions in the state for the three years prior to their being illu- minated and for three years after. It was found that the ac- cident rate, during hours of darkness, declined 52 percent after lights were installed. Chief Planning Engineer R. L. Kassel said the study was made using only those in- tersections, about 20 percent of the state's total, at which all conditions except lighting were the same for the sis- year period. Kassel added that further study will be made in light of the lower speed limit and re- duced, but not complete, elim- ination of individual intersec- tion lighting. Commission Chairman Rob- ert Rigler said the report con- v i n c e d him "intersection lighting promotes safety" and indicated he would be in favor of an expansion of the pro- gram throughout the state. Court Appearance TOLEDO Susan Irene Palmer, 21, Belle Plaine, charged with drunk driving, ap- peared before Magistrate J. E. Arends Tuesday, waived prelim- inary hearing and was bound to Tama county district court. She was released on her personal recognizance. She was arrested Monday by a state trooper a half mile west of Belle Plaine on highway 212 after her car hit a rural mailbox and went off the road into a ditch, the trooper said. I Fryer Attorney HI, Sentencing Delayed ROCK RAPIDS (AP) The sentencing of Allen Fryer in the slaying of four Iowa teen-agers has been indefinitely postponed because of the illness of his at- torney. Fryer, Sioux Falls, S. D., was to have been sentenced Thurs- day in the shotgun slaying last Nov. 17 of the four youths in Gitchie Manitou state park in extreme northwest Iowa. He was convicted by a Lyon county district court jury May 20 of first degree murder. One of Fryer's brothers. David, 24, has pled guilty to the slayings and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Another brother, James. 21, has been extradited to Iowa from South Dakota after a legal battle and is awaiting trial. 10 YEARS AGO Secretary of .State Rush arrived in Thai- land for talks on Laos, South Vietnam and other Southeast Asia trouble soots.

Machines in Primary DBS MOINES (API Voters in ten Iowa counties will use voting machines for the first time when they go to the polls for Tuesday's pri- mary elections. This brings the number of counties using voting ma- chines to 69, representing 90 percent of the state's popula- tion. Of the 30 counties which will continue to vote by paper bal- lot, 15 are among the 21 coun- ties in the southern two tiers of Iowa counties. Cash Outlay Secretary of State Melvin Synhorst said the reason so many southern counties have not purchased voting ma- chines may be .a lack of money in the county fund. "Land values are generally higher north of Syn- horst said. ''There is that ini- tial cash outlay for the ma- chines." Synhorst said he does not know if counties could save money in the long run by going to voting machine, but "there is the advantage in speed of tabulation." The first voting machines in Iowa were purchased by Franklin county in 1908. Purchases Slowed Polk and Shelby counties got on the bandwagon and purchased voting machines in 1911. By 1921, when Pocahon- tas county purchased the au- tomatic tabulators, 20 counties had stopped using paper bal- lots. But then purchases of the voting machines slowed, with only another eight counties abandoning the paper ballot over the next 34 years, includ- ing a ten-year dry spell from 1945 to 1955 when no county went to voting machines. The remaining 41 counties which abandoned the paper ballot have done so since 1955 when Poweshiek and Dallas counties broke the ice. "There has been a big in- crease in voting machine sales in recent Syn- horst said. "It wasn't many years ago when we talked in terms of 65 percent of Iowa voters using machines now we are ap- proaching 100 Syn- horst said. Since the 1972 general elec- tion, voting machines have been purchased by Washing- t o n Winneshiek, Mitchell, Warren, Guthrie, Cherokee, Monona, Plymouth, Sioux and Mills counties. All voting machines now in use in Iowa were made by the same company the Automatic Voting Machine Co.. Synhorst said.

Bald Point State Park
Welcome to Bald Point State Park
Some of the most picturesque scenic areas along north Florida's Gulf Coast are found within the park which supports 4,065 upland acres. Located on Alligator Point, where Ochlockonee Bay meets Apalachee Bay, Bald Point offers a multitude of land and water activities. Coastal marshes, pine flatwoods, and oak thickets foster a diversity of biological communities that make the park a popular destination for birding and wildlife viewing. Each fall, bald eagles and other migrating raptors, along with monarch butterflies, are commonly seen heading south for the winter. Bald Point offers access to two Apalachee Bay beaches for swimming, sunbathing, fishing, canoeing, kayaking and windsurfing. Facilities include a fishing dock and picnic pavilions.
