Objective. The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and abuse potential of different formulations of oxycodone.
Design. The participants completed an 8-day, placebo-controlled trial with four phases: naloxone challenge, double-blind drug discrimination, double-blind abuse liability, and discontinuation.
Subjects. Nineteen healthy, male, recreational drug abusers participated in this study.
Interventions. The participants were administered different doses and formulations of oxycodone (40 mg immediate release [IR], 40 mg controlled release [CR], crushed 40 mg CR, and 80 mg CR) to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters and ratings of drug liking and high.
Outcome Measures. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined over a 12-hour dosing interval. The primary pharmacodynamic endpoints were two questions from the Drug Effects Questionnaire ("Do you like the drug?" and "How high are you now?").
Results. Maximal plasma concentrations and area under the curve determinations were similar for 40 mg IR, crushed 40 mg CR, and 80 mg CR, which were all greater than 40 mg CR. For drug liking and high, the maximal effect and area under the effect curve were similar for the three formulations, which were all greater than 40 mg CR. The dose required to produce comparable reports of drug liking and high was approximately twofold greater for the CR vs IR formulation. When the 40 mg CR tablet was crushed, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile was similar to the 40 mg IR formulation. Adverse events were consistent with opioid administration.
Conclusions. Intact, orally administered oxycodone CR produced less drug liking and high than IR oxycodone, and required approximately twofold greater doses to produce subjective effects comparable to IR oxycodone.

CPU: Intel Core i7-950
Intel's Core i7-950 was priced only $10 higher than its i7-930, yet it carries a rated speed of 3.06 GHz compared to the cheaper processor's 2.80 GHz. That sounds like a high-value upgrade to us!
Read Customer Reviews of Intel's Core i7-950
The base multiplier for the i7-950 jumps up to 23x (compared to the i7-930's 21x multiplier), opening up a few more options when it comes to overclocking. And speaking of overclocking, the process of speed-binning—where a manufacturer determines which CPU runs best at higher speeds—means that we're more likely to get a "good" overclock from this higher-rated part.
DRAM: Mushkin Essentials 998586
The best overclocking-value memory we've tested over the past two years have all used Micron's D9KPT chips, but we've also found that these particular chips work slightly better without heat spreaders. That lead us to use Crucial's bare modules (at least until the company raised its prices to the point where competing brands were far cheaper). So, imagine our surprise when we found this at Newegg:
Yes, Newegg was carrying the same Micron D9KPT chips, on the same Micron circuit boards, under a different brand, at a 40% lower price. Epic win, right? We placed our order pronto, and a few days later this is what we received:
Read Customer Reviews of Mushkin's 6 GB DDR3-1333 Kit
The part number on the chips corresponds to Hynix commodity-grade memory, parts that are so ordinary that the manufacturer didn't even bother to put its brand on them. This is certain to put a crimp in our overclocking plans.
Not only are these far lower-grade than the parts we expected from Mushkin, but they're organized completely differently, with twice the density. That means a module from the current part number 998586 set can't even be mixed in multichannel mode with a module from the previous 998586 set, even though both carry the same part number. We realize that both versions of this model number are only guaranteed to be stable at the same 1.50 V, DDR3-1333 and lowly 9-9-9-24 timings, but shouldn't cross-compatibility for modules of the same part number also be guaranteed? For shame Mushkin, for shame…

Looking forward to Day 4!

And yet it's still in the SBM?

0damian86 , 16 December 2010 03:08Normally those marathon pcs do not get my atraction, spending 2000 dollars in a machine with only 6gb of ram? there are better prices out there,you can make this machine more powerfull. not a long time ago THW had an article showing info about swapfile explaining that 8 gb or RAM makes a very stable machine.im just saying...

The Westonbirt Project
Making a big difference to everybody who comes to the arboretum, the project will mean a better visit and a better understanding of the heritage and importance of this world class tree collection.
The construction elements of Phase One are now complete and, with continued Heritage Lottery Funding, our Community Team are now working with a variety of groups to develop a range of activities to engage young people and adults at risk of exclusion.
The new Biffa Award Welcome Building to improve visitor facilities has been built. It includes the Christopher Mitchell Information Centre which is packed full of fun and useful information about the arboretum. Do come in and have a play!
Thanks to the new car park, cars are no longer parking on the Grade I registered landscape and this is now being restored to the downland landscape it was always intended to be.
Fundraising for Phase Two of the project is now complete. Work has begun on the STIHL Treetop Walkway and the Wolfson Tree Management Centre, which will give visitors an exciting new perspective on trees and allow us to better care for the arboretum's important collection.

text: This colourful, versatile root vegetable has been a staple on dinner tables and restaurant menus for some time. We adore this vegetable and here's why: They're super healthy. Beets contain folate, manganese and potassium, which are essential for good health. They are also contain betalain, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is what gives beets their unmistakeable red colour. They're inexpensive and easy to find. You can usually find locally grown loose or bunched beets in most supermarkets. As an added bonus, they don't cost an arm and a leg, so you can easily add them into your weekly rotation of vegetables without damaging your budget. They're versatile. I love to keep blanched or roasted beets on hand to throw in salads, soups or dips; sliced up in sandwiches or even for pureeing in my morning smoothie. If you're looking to try something totally different, check out my recipe for beet risotto here. Tip: When buying beets, look for firm, tight bulbs. Refrigerate in your crisper for up to two weeks.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Each week, Sarah McLevish's mother meets with her daughter's doctors, nurses, caseworkers and therapists to review her progress and talk about when she can come home.
McLevish is in a semiconscious state. She opens her eyes and can turn them toward sounds, such as when someone says her name. But she's not fully aware of what's happening around her, said her mother, Bobbi Hubbard, on the morning her daughter should have been starting her junior year at Franklin Community High School.
"Everything she does is more of a reflex," Hubbard said.
McLevish, 16, nearly drowned in June, when she was swept over the dam in the Big Blue River in Edinburgh. Four other Franklin teens, Jason Moran, Michael Chadbourne, Mark Nally and Trent Crabb, followed her over the dam trying to save her. Moran, Chadbourne and McLevish were all pulled under the water by the current at the base of the dam.
Moran never resurfaced and was found days later. When McLevish and Chadbourne were pulled out of the water they weren't breathing and didn't have pulses. People nearby performed CPR on the teens, but Chadbourne died four days later.
Hubbard constantly thinks about and is thankful for the boys who kept her daughter alive.
"All along, these boys have always been my heroes. Because without them, I wouldn't have Sarah," Hubbard said.
McLevish has been slowly recovering after initially fighting for her life in the days after the accident.
She spent a month at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis where doctors diagnosed her with an anoxic brain injury, which is when the brain is injured because of a lack of oxygen, Hubbard said. She's been at Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health since July 7.
McLevish has a potential date when she could be released from the hospital, but her condition also could change quickly.
Hubbard, McLevish's sister Katie and stepfather George Hubbard Jr. have to rally each day for McLevish and themselves. Hubbard has an easier time dealing with the stress of her daughter's ongoing recovery when she's working with McLevish or has a task to complete. But when she's by herself with nothing to do, the stress can be overwhelming, she said.
Five days a week, McLevish has six to seven hours of physical, occupational and speech therapy, and a half-day of therapy on Saturdays, Hubbard said.
The goal is to help her regain awareness of what's happening around her and to enable her body to continue healing. It could take up to two years before McLevish's mother and doctors know how much she'll recover.
"Everybody's ultimate goal — us, the medical team, the school — is to get things as close to normal as we can," Hubbard said.
McLevish is now in a rehabilitation unit at Riley, and each day her physical and occupational therapists work with her limbs to keep them moving, while a speech therapist uses foods with different tastes and textures to encourage McLevish to swallow.
"They're really working hard with her, to try to stimulate her senses to try to get her to wake up fully," Hubbard said.
The doctors and therapists are also trying to get McLevish to breathe on her own.
At Methodist Hospital, McLevish spent part of her time on a ventilator that was breathing for her, and she now has a tracheostomy tube that bypasses her trachea and ensures her airway stays open. McLevish's doctors have started closing the tube for a few hours at a time so that McLevish can breathe normally and build lung stamina, Hubbard said.
Hubbard is modifying her home so that her daughter can get around in a wheelchair. She knows that the family will have to change the way they live life, but it's important that McLevish can still spend time outside and that she can return to school when the time is right.
"We're not really going to change the things that we do, as far as what we've always done," she said.
Hubbard has been on leave from her job as a skilled assembler at Allison Transmission since McLevish was injured, and people in and around Franklin have been working since the tragedy to help support her family.
Nearly $60,000 has been raised in the Franklin Family Fund, which was set up to help the Moran and Chadbourne families pay for funeral expenses and to help McLevish's family cover medical costs. So far $30,000 has been spent for the three families.
Hubbard is extremely grateful for everyone's support.
"It's pretty amazing," she said. "It's not anything that you could ever imagine happening."

Welcome welcome to my little corner office on the internet! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Suechan! Duh! I used to live in the not-so-famous town of North Reading, Massachusetts - (Class of '94 - marching band geek. Go Hornets!), but some of you may also know me from Marist College (class of '98! - AV and band Geek. Go Red Foxes!) in Poughkeepsie, New York. Maybe you met me online, at a convention, or in Jury Duty (I have served on 2 juries in 2 states). Then again, some of you may not know me at all....yet! Even if you don't know me at all, feel free to look through my drawings, my photos, and my other links! We may even have something in common!
Welcome Spring!
I hope you're all enjoying the light returning at the end of the day and earlier in the morning!
I'm turning 40 years old in June. And in September, celebrating 20 years since I began dating the love of my life.
My dad will be retiring this year too, which is just awesome!
Conventions, Ren Faires, pen pals, recipes, books.... so much to look forward to and so much to take in! Drop me a line anytime and I'd be more than happy to chat ^_^
And for the fun of it, here's a button of Random Links!
Most charity donations happen over the Holiday season from Thanksgiving through New Years, but help is needed all year round. Please click on the spinning globe to see how you can help.
links I feel like holding on to:
Nobody can do everything, but everybody can do something. For example, if every New Yorker (and there are over 8 million of them) gave $1.00 to 5 charities, all 5 charities would receive over $8,000,000! And each person would only be out $5.00 which can't get you much more than a Happy Meal or a medium gourmet coffee. And that doesn't even include the rest of the state of NY or any other part of the country giving anything (BTW, there are over 305 MILLION people in this country). If we all give a little, it adds up to a lot.

UIJEONGBU, South Korea, Sept. 30 (Yonhap) -- A major international "slow food" festival will open in South Korea this week, featuring hundreds of eco-friendly local foods from around the world, organizers said Monday.
The 2013 AsiO Gusto is set to open in Namyangju, east of Seoul, Tuesday with the participation of more than 40 Asian and Oceanian nations, they said. "AsiO" is a portmanteau of Asia and Oceania, and "gusto" means "taste" in Italian.
"Slow food" movement is purportedly the answer to the prevalent fast-food culture represented by McDonald's. The "slow food" campaign started in Italy in the 1980s and now has some 100,000 members in more than 160 countries around the world, according to the festival's website.
On Monday, organizers continued to prepare for the event with most of the participating delegations scheduled to arrive during the day.
"Of the three major international slow food events, Italy's Salone del Gusto and France's Euro Gusto are akin to exhibitions," said Lee Hyeong-ju, the festival's director, "while AsiO Gusto is more like a festival, so it will be more enjoyable."
The three main pavilions -- differentiated by theme and country -- will feature nearly 1,200 foods from 76 countries that face extinction, as well as traditional foods from 30 countries in Asia and Oceania, according to organizers.
Visitors will also be able to taste various foods and drinks from 22 nations at booths lining a 40-meter-long "world food street," they said.
The festival is scheduled to run for six days under the theme, "Slow-Food, Changing the World Through Taste." Its program includes an official opening ceremony and international conferences and workshops.
The conferences and workshops will kick off on Oct. 2 and run for three days, during which nearly 90 experts from 20 countries will discuss the latest trends and studies on slow foods around the world.
The festival will also feature music, dance, cooking contests and various exhibitions and interactive events, the organizers said.
It is expected to draw some 300,000 visitors, they added.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (November 4, 2010) –
The number of volunteers signed up to walk in the Great VISIT FLORIDA Beach Walk on Saturday topped 2,600 by noon Thursday (Nov. 4), making this event quite likely the largest of its kind ever. Volunteers were still registering through Volunteer Florida Thursday for the Saturday morning event, and beach businesses in Florida's 34 beach counties were still coming on board to support the volunteers and the project.
The statewide Beach Walk and Photo Fest will show the world that Florida's 825 miles of beaches are as gorgeous as ever, in photos uploaded to the Internet by volunteers who will walk, paddle, surf or boat to shoot photos of all Sunshine State beaches, and upload the images in real time to an online gallery for all the world to see.
The volunteers in this grassroots project in support of Florida tourism include realtors walking with their dogs on pet-friendly beaches in Duval County, sand sculptors in Sarasota County, K-8 students in Escambia and Broward counties, kayakers at the Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival in southwest Florida, surfers at the Tommy Tant Memorial Surf Classic in Flagler County, local firefighters in Martin County, women in tourism in Pinellas County, officers wives at Mayport Naval Station, and wildlife conservationists around the state.
People can register as Beach Walkers today (Thursday, Nov. 4) until 5 p.m. at Great VISIT FLORIDA Beach Walk online. Afterward, prospective volunteers should visit the Beach Walk website and contact their County Hosts. They can also sign up at Beach Walk hubs on Saturday.

Here's George Clooney's hot Italian girlfriend taking it off for the German Edition of FHM (December issue), only two months after she posed naked for FHM France. We hear her next bout of "clothes give me hives" will be for FHM Zimbabwe.
And if you thought her strategically revealed ass tattoo "Love is Pain" makes George Clooney an even luckier SOB because by spanking her he shows her just how much he loves her, think again. She's an Italian with a temperament so this probably involves her holding a taser gun and a naked George strapped in a chair without a bottom…which probably means this one will tame him into marrying her after all.
Meanwhile, the Italian Media are going crazy reporting that the two have already decided on a wedding date before Christmas and that they might be doing it in Mexico. But you must forgive them because they must have mistook the "friendship" ring that George gave Elisabetta (which means, we're friends with a ton of benefits) for an actual, semi-binding, engagement ring (which means i'm ready to become an alcoholic like Brad Pitt).
Here's the pictures of Elisabetta from her French FHM photo shoot.

The man who botched the response to the 2008 snowstorm is behind another traffic mess in West Seattle and a union petition. Why is he still at the Department of Transportation?
The stated mission of the Seattle Department of Transportation is "to deliver a safe and reliable transportation system that enhances Seattle's environment and economic vitality."
If that's true, then why is Paul E. Jackson Jr. still working there?
That name shouldn't just ring a bell but set off sirens for anyone who has driven in this city.
Jackson is the one who led (a term I use loosely) the city's response (again, loosely) to the December 2008 snowstorms.

That no-salt fiasco came after a yearlong human-resources investigation into Jackson's management of the department's street-maintenance division. The probe cost taxpayers $515,000, and $150,000 more for consultants hired to tell the department how to improve.
Jackson was demoted, but stayed in management.
His name came up again earlier this month, after a broken traffic light at a major West Seattle intersection stayed that way for 11 hours.
The night shift for the electricians who could have repaired the light had been eliminated and replaced with an on-call, overtime roster. That's fine, except only three people were signed up for overtime, and none of them was available that night.
So, for 11 hours, 35th Avenue Southwest and Fauntleroy Way Southwest went from a lighted intersection to a four-way stop. By the morning rush-hour, there was a 1-mile backup.
We're straying from mission here. A 1-mile backup is not what I would call "reliable," and making so many people rush down side streets and late for work can't be safe, or helping the city's "economic vitality."
And yet, Jackson remains a manager, despite the backup, and the fact that 14 of the city's 21 signal electricians have submitted a petition to the department's chief, complaining about the workplace he's created.
The petition said in part, "His management style of leading through fear and intimidation is unfair, counterproductive and completely unnecessary."
That, too, is going to cost us: Each employee who signed the petition will be pulled off the job and paid for the time spent airing their complaints about Jackson — complaints the city has known about for years.
There are other costs, though, that really can't be measured: Low morale, or a worker's decision not to go the extra mile because doing so would make Jackson — hired as a maintenance laborer in 1998 — look good.
SDOT spokesman Rick Sheridan sent me a list of improvements Jackson completed under the city's "Bridging the Gap" initiative: the re-marking of 306 crosswalks; the installation of 4,700 regulatory street signs; and the replacement of 1,155 street signs and 1,916 feet of guardrail.
"What you see in terms of results is a manager who is delivering as requested," Sheridan said.
Further, Sheridan said, Jackson requested a transfer to his old position after the snowstorm mess. (Not true: Former SDOT head Grace Crunican told the City Council's transportation committee in July 2009 that she demoted him herself.)
"He has paid the price for the 2008 snowstorm," Sheridan said.
Actually, taxpayers paid the price. And that's the key point that I think the city is missing by keeping Jackson on the payroll. This one employee has already cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars, and now key employees in another major division are petitioning his management style.
What does it take to get rid of someone like that?
"I understand what you're saying," Sheridan told me, but "[Jackson] has been working hard for city residents." He said he was afraid people were being unfair.
How about being fair to the employees on the street? To the taxpayers paying this guy's salary and expecting to get from one place to the other without a worry or a wait?
There has been some movement at the SDOT.
Thursday, the head of the city's traffic-management division, Charles Bookman, announced his resignation. Bookman, 64, said he is leaving to care for his father. I wish him well.
But I also wish that, before Bookman leaves, and before someone like Jackson starts circling his office and salary scale, Mayor Mike McGinn takes a close look at what's going on at SDOT, and sees what should be obvious:
Traffic management is Government 101. If you can't get that right and with the right people, then we're all stuck — not just in traffic, but with a hefty bill.

IRVING, Texas – After scoring on a one-yard touchdown run in overtime to lift East Carolina to a 33-27 come-from-behind victory over rival N.C. State, junior quarterback Dominique Davis was named the Conference USA Offensive Player-of-the-Week according to an announcement by league officials Monday. It is Davis' second weekly league award as he was selected Sept. 6 following the Pirates opening game victory versus Tulsa.
Saturday, Davis completed his first 14 pass attempts against the Wolfpack on his way to a 376-yard, two-passing touchdown performance. He also set career highs in completions (37) and attempts (54) while ripping off a personal-best 22-yard rush in the first quarter. The 376 aerial yards were the eighth-highest in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium history.
During the opening quarter, Davis accounted for 139 of the team's 165 yards and two scores. The Lakeland, Fla., native is currently ranked second in the NCAA in points responsible for per game (20.0) as well as completions per game (28.8). He has completed 30 or more passes three times in the last four games, and 25 or more five times.
With the two touchdown passes Saturday, Davis is on pace for a single-season, school-record 32 aerial scores with 16 in his first six games. The current record is 28, set by Jeff Blake in 1991.
Conference USA also honored Memphis senior linebacker Jamon Hughes as the defensive player-of-the-week and Rice junior punter Kyle Martens as the special teams player-of-the-week.
In addition to the honor from the league, Davis was also selected as the Rivals.com Conference USA Player-of-the-Week.
The Pirates return to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium Saturday, Oct. 23, for a 4:15 p.m. Homecoming matchup with league foe Marshall. The contest is slated for regional broadcast on Comcast Sports South and will be televised locally on WITN.

Hi, I go to Prenatal yoga Tuesdays and Thursday at Gunner's on Foster. The class is from 1000 to 1100. Its really nice and relaxing. I'm a complete newbie to yoga and decided to try it now I dont miss a class. Come on and try tomorrow!!!
Kelsey and AJ Married August 14 2010

With another one on the way!!!
April- Marine Wife, Mommy, RN-
i would LOVE to try this but i have a 4 yrs old girl and shes a good kid. I wonder if its okay to bring her w/ me. If she has her Ipad then shes good atleast she doesnt get bored.
I went for the first time on Thursday and enjoyed. I would love to see some ladies I "know" there. The classes are Tuesday and Thursday 10-11 at Gunners on Foster. I've ok it with my boss but I don't think I'll always be able to make both days.
Do any of the ladies bring kids to the class? I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter who would probably like doing the yoga with me, but not sure if its allowed.
So did anyone other than me attends class on Foster this morning. OT There was a lady there who found out she was having twins during her 20 week anatomy scan. None of her US or doppler had indicated anything other than a singleton pregnancy prior. Scary stuff.

In a June 8 2001 article by Sandra Sobiera of the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON - In a White House victory celebration, President Bush put his signature to the nation's first across-the-board tax cut in a generation on Thursday and promised American families rebate checks in time to help with September school bills.
Taxpayers should generally expect to receive tax refund checks based on the last two digits of their Social Security numbers, according to the IRS. Married couples filing jointly, the first Social Security number on the return will be used.
He proclaimed the $1.35 trillion tax cut, most of which takes effect slowly over the next decade, the first achievement for a ``new tone in Washington.''
Such broad tax relief has happened just twice since World War II - President Kennedy's tax cuts in the 1960s and President Reagan's in the 1980s - Bush told a packed White House audience of near-giddy Republicans and some Democrats.
``And now it's happening for the third time,'' Bush said. ``And it's about time.''
Rebate checks, most between $300 and $600 will be mailed beginning July 20 to every American who paid taxes this year. Eventually, income tax rates will drop, the child credit will double and the estate tax, which Bush calls ``the death tax,'' will die.
``Most families can look forward to a $600 tax rebate before they have to pay the September back-to-school bills. And in the years ahead, taxpayers can look forward to steadily declining income tax rates,'' Bush said.
Democratic opponents complained that the WEALTHIEST 1 PERCENT of taxpayers WILL REAP MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE NEW LAWS BENEFITS ``For tens of millions of Americans, the check is not in the mail,
Wasn't all of that supposed to stimulate the economy? Those upper 1 percenters were supposedly the "job creators" right? Why did everything go to hell at the end of Bush's term then? The economy went into the toilet and millions of jobs with it. Hey CONS, explain that one....YOUR THEORY IS A LIE and a LOSER for the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Now stop obstructing and DO SOMETHING. You way didn't work, obviously.
Bush's 1.35 TRILLION vote buying GIFTS barely worked for buying the second election for him and obviously destroyed our economy by the end of his second term. The GOP CONS just scream and yell and whine that they had nothing to do with the economy collapsing even though it happened on THEIR dime !!!! It's hilarious how they think if they blame President Obama for it, somehow history will be rewritten and President Obama took office 6 months before he got elected? LOL. Fools. No one is buying all the lies anymore and YES Bush let us get attacked when he ignored the warning ONE MONTH prior. Somehow you CONS and your CON JOB CREATOR ROVE exhalted Bush after the attacks and many bought it, and then the GOP CON Corporate Megaphone put that lie on the news loops and idiots bought it. How sad. No one buys it anymore, you've been out numbered and out maneuvered. Be gone, you have no power here.
Well said, NJ Danny!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Danny, if you think that the housing and financial crisis were all created in the years of the Bush presidency you are delusional. There are a number of events, such as financial reform and expanded housing objectives that helped to cause this. 20 plus years in the making.
Also, Obama is going into his second term soon. Your boy owns the economy, owns foreign policy he owns the past four years.
How many times must you be told that the Bush tax cuts did not cause the recession. It was caused by the financial collapse. The financial collapse was the result of the housing bubble and risk leverage. Get a new tune Danny Boy, you're all wet on this one.
Theres... and Dan...
Yes, that along with systematic financial deregs by Repubs. since Ron Reagan. Bring back the SEC Rules of 1933-34 and 1943-44 - the years before 1981 when SEC had teeth. Bring back Glass - Steagall. Bring back the Uptickl Rule for short sales - repealed by GWB in July, 2007! Now everyonbe thinks he's an expert on options hedgies, straddles, shorts just by reading off the ocmputer or listening to CNBC and Cramer! It's gambling. If you wish to gamble, go to a casino where you see results in real time.
GW said - I heard it - during his administration,"I am going tot be the home owner president. Everyone will own a home!" How nuts is that? Bush = completely irresponsible guy born of privelege who over and over again put his "silver foot in his mouth" as former governor of Texas Ann Richards said. Fundamental fact: Money has value in time. Interest due comounds every second every day for the past 11 years! This recession goes back to Bush's 8 years - 2 unpaid for wars and reckless spending, defense - military spending - paying back his lobbyists. Simple arithmetic! Now the Repubs. wish to continue Bush's madness. Hey, it's time to pay the piper. Pres. Obama - Please, Mr. President, no more nice guy! Let them come forth with their ideas. Of course, they have none. None noted. They're still the same ole same ole obstructionists as they said on the first day on Pres. Obama's inauguration. "We will make sure he is a one term president!" He won by a greater margin ever for a 2nd term than GW did on his 2nd term.
GW's mantra 2004 was that he kept us safe! Not! He lied re: Kerry;s service by the swiftboating guys. Those guys were paid and planted by GW's campaign. He did not keep me safe on 9/11/01!. Obama by contrast won by a much greater margin than GW did in 2004 - fair and square. The people have spoken. Mitt lost. Face it. i have never seen such poor losers than this year. I have voted since 1960 .
Obama will serve a 2nd term as our president. Let's support our country - our president.
Respectfully =
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Greenspan said the bush tax cut would hurt the economy in 2001 but the administration shut him up. I would say he knew what he was talking about.
Bush tax cuts contributed greatly in turning a Clinton budget surplus into a Bush budget deficit, specially after Bush started very expensive unfunded wars without increasing taxes to fund these unfunded wars, but continued tax-cuts-for-the-rich while expensive wars were raging.
According to economics professor Ravi Batra, tax-cuts-for-the-rich increases money for the rich to do speculations, which produces bubbles, which will eventually burst, resulting in economic collapse. We saw this happened exactly as predicted by professor Batra. He also said that excessive deregulation (which together with tax-cuts-for-the-rich form the so call Trickle-Down economic principle, practice by Bush and other rich conservative Republicans) enable the rich to take speculation (started by tax-cuts-to-the-rich) to the extreme, causing giant sized bubbles, and resulting giant sized financial system collapse like the 2008 Great Recession, and like the 1929 Great Depression. Yes, Bush did not started the financial destructions, his previous conservatives and unbridled free marketeers started the road to financial collapse. But, Bush was the "last feather" that broke the financial camel's back. Read the books by professor Batra to get a detail explanation of how Trickle-Down economics causes depressions and great recessions.
But, in addition, now there is "central planning" by the super rich 1 percent to hire lobbyists to controlled the government. Some of the lobbyists appear to have dealing and ties to foreign countries. The super rich, and big corporations "hide" money in foreign banks. The conservatives favor outsourcing. Many super rich trying to control government inherited their wealth, so that they can be crazy while being super rich. Even some self made very smart super rich become somewhat crazy as they grow older. Now we have central planning by the crazed super rich people. There is no question, that most of the super rich are crazed with greed. Money is their god.
Over the past few weeks, many Americans have felt anxiety about their finances and their future. I understand their worry and their frustration.
We've seen triple-digit swings in the stock market. Major financial institutions have teetered on the edge of collapse, and some have failed. As uncertainty has grown, many banks have restricted lending, credit markets have frozen, and families and businesses have found it harder to borrow money.
LOL, gee Georgie boy, I guess that "fuzzy math" you laid out with those tax cuts in '01 didn't quite pan out huh???? What a loser, and this is the same thing the CONS want to keep doing? CONS, you can shout it over and over but the AMERICAN people "got it", and VOTED to get all of that crap done and over with. Move aside, you LOST.

-Gary vs Paul: this would be an epic battle for sure. I'd sure love to see Blastoise vs Torterra or the battle between their Electivires
-Misty vs Iris: the Cerulean Gym Leader vs Souryuu Gym Leader, plus their personalities are alike.
-Gary vs Shooti: Shooti is more like Gary than Paul, so that might be interesting.
-Lance vs Cynthia: those two are my favorite champs. It would be great if they battled (Grachomp vs Dragonite)

Rijkard leaves Galatasaray
He is now available and I think he would be a better replacement for Woy.....Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I like Riijkaard and his attacking style, however, it would have been hard for Rafa to stop Xavi, Henry, Ronaldihno and co from playing attacking football so I dont know how much credit should have been his.
Maybe at another time he may have suited but I think we need a guy with big balls right now. Not Big Sam but you get my point!

The new COO is an avid LFC fan. He was in Istanbul and has been a LFC fan for 20 years. Surely he must be familiar with some of these names. By the way, the new LFC COO is 'Joe Januszewski, the Boston Red Sox executive who persuaded John W Henry to buy the club, has been appointed chief operating officer - replacing Christian Purslow after he stepped down as managing director on Wednesday. 'Januszewski, who has been a Liverpool fan for 20 years and was at the team's European Cup victory in Istanbul five years ago, advised Henry to watch the situation at Liverpool, which pricked the multi-millionaire's interest in Anfield.

Not sure who would be the right choice for the job at the moment. We really are in a mess on the pitch. I've never seen us defend so bad. Even with Rafas zonal marking we still did an ok job over all.
But Roy was NEVER the right choice for us whatever he did for Fulham. He should have stayed there imho.

Rijkard is not the man for liverpool, he's not the next mourinho in the making, although at present not sure who would be the right man to take over the job, my suggestion about hiring Lippi was shot down here as if it was against the law to mention his name..
Not 100% sure about Rijkaard, not really done anything of note since 2006 and that takes into account having arguably the best team in the world during that period between 06 and 08 at Barca (and indeed before that period).
Recently had his contract terminated too so not sure what his problem is.
Its been theorised on Adi's board that he probably relied on Henk Ten Cate (who left at the end of the 06 season) as his assistant (as Rafa probably did with Paco).
I still want Bilic (Croatia manager), altough he hasn't won anything with Croatia I think his footballing ethic is sound and his team operates above their collective ability. With the right team, he'll go far.
BTW - answering you original statement, not many managers could be worse than Roy right now. There seems to be a consensus (rumour) that he has 3 games left to pull things around (Napoli (A), Blackburn (H) and Bolton (A) - Not exactly a walk in the park).

Not All Pregos Come in the Same Package
I always thought that when a woman became pregnant, she grew a big round belly (and bigger boobs), and that's it. I thought every woman was the same, but that was until I started going to my weekly Prenatal Yoga class, and before I started getting comments about my own pregnant body. I didn't realize that pregnancy affects women differently, making big bellies, small bellies, flat bellies, round bellies, as well as maybe the not-so-desirable expanding tush, legs, arms, and swollen face and feet. We all grow our babies differently, and at first it made me self-conscious. I mean how could it not when people constantly were saying to me, "Wow, you're huge. Are you sure there aren't twins in there?!" Now I can see with this side-by-side photo of me and a good friend, both at the 30-week mark. We look very different, and I feel the unique way our bodies change and grow should be celebrated. Because you know what? We're growing a baby, and it's truly amazing that our bodies can do that.
So this is just a little reminder to all you mommies-to-be that have gotten not-so-sweet comments or are self-conscious about the way your body is changing. You are a unique individual who is growing an equally unique little one, and however pregnancy is affecting your body, it should be embraced.

The shop didn't have an oil filter for my 2005 CRV. I had one in the car. Had I known that, I would have donated it to the job. I retired from the auto parts business so I know how the jobber/shop system works. Having said that, the filter for any 2005 Honda product or any Honda product is a popular number, especially in Portland, Or where the Honda car is everywhere. Also, the technician commented that the ATF was "starting to get dark". The AT had been flushed less than 30K miles back (yes, I know about the drain and fill on Hondas). I have since checked and rechecked the ATF myself on several occasions and I consistently get the standard clear pinkish color on the stick. The ATF comment actually bothered me more than the filter. The car was done on time, the employees were pleasant and professional and they honored my coupon. I usually have my work done at the Honda dealer.by Cindy – Verified Customer February 09, 2015

No turn is a 'wrong turn' in Buenos Aires
From India to the 'End of the World'
After a nice hot breakfast at the hotel, we made a pit stop at a nearby bank to get some Pesos. We had to make a brief mental calculation to comprehend its value in our local currency (Indian Rupees). All stocked-up, we ventured onward to roam the streets of Buenos Aires. The neighborhood of Palermo Woods was a short walk away. Armed with a map in hand with 'hot spots' marked out helpfully by our hotel staff, we began to stroll along the tree-lined streets of the barrio (neighborhood). We were most intrigued by the exotic species of Palms that adorned the streets.
We visited the Japones Jardin which had immaculate landscaping, Japanese plants and delicate Azaleas. This was a place where we could experience nothing but serenity and inner peace. What a delightful start to a sunny morning! As we walked toward the Malba Museum, we watched the chic passer-bys with their equally chic dogs. We walked through some doggy parks and saw several dog walkers who seemed to be part of a trend prevalent in this barrio. We spent a good hour admiring the fascinating displays of some famous Argentinean artists and photographers in this modern art museum.
A short taxi ride away we walked along the cobbled pathways of the Palermo Viejo area. This residential barrio exuded a very bohemian vibe. The funky and colorful facades of the small boutique stores and restaurants intrigued our fascination. We then "caffeinated" at Marks Deli (they do a delectable 'caramel latte' which is a "can't miss!). A place very popular with the locals and the ex-pats, and with a 'hip' clientele, the area reminded us of our local Mumbai suburb, Bandra, which tends to attract youngsters and is now home to a large ex-pat community.
It was a nice, lazy morning and we stumbled upon Plaza Serrano, a circle where locals exhibited their handicrafts and creations in tiny make-shift booths. There were innumerable bars and resto-bars around the plazas perimeter. With a smirk on both our faces, we gave each other a nod as we thought to ourselves, "that's where we're heading tonight!"
"Post-card" Perfect
We hailed a taxi and visited the much anticipated Caminito Street in the La Boca district – a historical area now conserved as a tourist attraction and also where the Tango originated. With a camera in hand I was "on a roll" - trying very hard to capture both the multi- color graffiti laden façades, boldly painted on lines of corrugated tin houses. The colorful 'doorways' particularly caught my attention, each of them being distinctively diverse and way more striking than any post card image. We felt as though we were walking on the sets of a vintage romantic Latin Classic. This was a city bursting with passion and a pulse. You could feel your feet tapping to the tunes of the Tango in the back drop, no matter where you were. We sauntered along the cafes where locals performed this dance with poise and grace. The traditional bevy of street artists kept us entertained throughout. From human statues painted in bronze, to the popular Maradona look alike. Women were dressed like prostitutes waiting to be photographed for a couple of pesos. And finally, Tango dancers who actually lift you off your feet and 'dip you' for a quick photograph. Such exhilaration could only be experienced in Buenos Aires! Not to mention the sight of an old Brazilian Lady dying to get her lips on a handsome lad which was hysterical!
Mistaken to be of Brazilian descent, we felt charmed by the flirtatious calls of the 'porteno'. You could feel the joie de vivre in the air as a live Brazilian band in colorful attire walked the streets. What were once the homes of immigrants has today been refurbished into art galleries. The day's flea market was wrapping up and we just about managed to get a glimpse of some of the artistic displays of the locals. This was a city that provided a platform to nurture the creative talents of its people. It was truly an afternoon that had left us enchanted by the city.
It was the taxi driver who drove us to Puerto Madero, whose consideration and niceness, left a mark on us. We were charmed by the people of this city - their amiability and warmth. On hearing my incessant coughs due to a lingering allergic congestion, the porteno handed me a brochure to a medicine that would make my cough go away 'mañana', (tomorrow). He pointed to a near by pharmacy and continued to converse in Spanish. With my 'poquito' (tiny) comprehension of the language, I tried to make sense of the conversation. All along, my heart was touched by the porteno's thoughtful gesture.
Puerto Madero, comprising revamped docks on the river, was an upcoming barrio. We admired the modernistic structure of the "Women's Bridge" as we strolled and enjoyed our evening. My sister Nanita felt this reminiscent of the Canary Wharf neighborhood in London, where she had lived for a couple of years. This city had a very European charm to it but unlike most European cities, it was much easier on the wallet. We sauntered along the waterfront where there were the famous grill houses also called 'parrillas' known for their Argentinean beef. This upscale barrio housed two 19th century ships which are today floating museums. As fatigue set in, we headed back to Las Canitas. At Las Cholas, a gourmet hideaway, we enjoyed some vegetarian 'empanadas' with 'chimichurri sauce - a local delight!

Squabbling Egyptian Labor Party Meets to Choose Leaders
BY Mohammad Baali
Albawaba.com - Cairo
The executive committee of the Egyptian opposition Labor Party has chosen Mahfouz Azzam to be party deputy head and Talat Remaih, the current party secretary general, as editor-in-chief of the party newspaper Al Shaab.
The selections were made at the committee's meeting on Friday evening.
The executive committee meeting was not attended by the party head, Ibrahim Shukri, whose differences with the party's secretary general, Magdi Hussein, recently came to the fore.
The rift has become particularly evident ever since Shukri's unilateral announcement of the selection of Hamed Zaidan as Al Shaab editor-in-chief in place of Hussein, who held the post until Friday evening.
The executive committee is reportedly dominated by the Islamist-oriented group led by Magdi Hussein, which includes Azzam and Remaih.
Shukri has been trying to reach a deal with the Egyptian government to exclude the Islamist group from the party leadership in exchange for the cancellation of the year-old ban on the party.
The party was banned upon a decision from the party affairs committee at the Shura Council, which is dominated by members of the ruling National Democratic Party.
The decision followed a campaign launched by Al Shaab newspaper against the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, after the ministry reprinted the novel Walima Li Aa'shab Al Bahr (A Banquet of Seaweed) by the Syrian writer Haider Haider.
The government move sparked violent demonstrations at Al Azhar University, during which the students shouted slogans accusing the government of sponsoring and spreading atheism. Hundreds of students, citizens and policemen were injured in the clashes – Albawaba.com

Monday, August 6, 2007, a tunnel collapsed in one of central Utah's
coal mines, trapping six miners. The miners were about three miles from
the mine's entrance and 1,500 feet underground when the cave-in occurred.
Coal mining is a dangerous business, but it has also produced
great rewards. The United States is home to the most known coal reserves
of any other nation, and this has made coal the nation's primary source
of energy. Burning coal generates about half of the country's electricity.
Coal was also a major factor in catapulting the nation into the Industrial
Age. However, over the years miners have often suffered injury—and
even death—from the many hours of hard labor and dangerous working
Mining is much safer today than it used to be. The recent
Utah mine collapse is certainly a tragedy, but such incidences are much
less common than in previous centuries, thanks to government regulation
and public pressure.
Another danger related to coal is that it is a non-renewable
energy source—a fossil fuel. When it burns, it releases energy
and also pollution. New technologies, called "clean coal,"
hold promise that some of this pollution going into our environment
may be reduced. Opponents note possible problems with these clean coal
technologies, with many saying coal needs to be dumped altogether.
This week's lesson will take you into the depths of the
earth's surface so that you can better understand what coal is. Then,
you will journey back in time to tour coal mining's history.
understand why people are driven to mine coal, it is
important to know what coal is. To do that, visit the
U.S. Department of Energy site on Fossil Energy.
Begin your exploration of coal with the
study guide's first chapter, Introduction
to Coal. Read all of the text, explaining coal
in the United States and the four different types of
mined coal.
On a map of the U.S. with state boundaries, create a legend
using a different color to denote each type of coal. Draw an image of
a small flame next to the type that produces the least amount of energy.
Draw a larger flame next to the type that produces the most amount of
energy. Fill in the other two sizes that fall in between.
As you read the text, do your best to color in parts of
the map, as appropriate. The descriptions are not necessarily exact
locations, but they will give you an idea of where the different types
are generally found. Some types may overlap.
Next, take a look at How
Coal is Formed. What exactly is coal made
from? Why do different types of coal exist? Why does
some coal contain sulfur, and why does that cause
problems when it is burned? How many feet of prehistoric
plant debris are compressed in one foot of coal?
that you know how coal was formed, you have some idea of why burning
it emits pollution. Knowing what coal contains helps scientists understand
how to make it cleaner when it burns.
Explore this idea in greater depth by learning how scientists
are Cleaning
Up Coal. Read through the first page, and then continue reading
the other pages in this section. As you read, think about how the majority
of today's 30- to 40-year-old coal-burning energy plants have polluted
the environment. How will new clean coal technologies change the way
these plants burn coal, and how will they affect the output of pollution?
What are the two ways that sulfur can exist in coal? Why
is one type easier to clean out of coal than the other type? What exactly
is a scrubber? How does staged combustion help clean out NOx made by
burning coal? Describe the differences between using a pressurized fluidized
bed boiler and the process of gasifying coal. What waste products are
leftover that will still need to be disposed of?
Make two lists of the pros and cons of mining and burning
coal, both past and present. Compare the lists. Which items have changed
between past and present? Which have stayed the same? If clean coal
technologies get implemented, how will it affect your present-day list
of pros and cons?

Brief History of Coal Use in the United States.
Make a list of some uses of coal. Draw a diagram of how
you think a steam train might work, focusing on the
flow of energy from the engine's primary energy source
(coal) to moving the train forward on the tracks.

Page that features A
Pictorial Walk Through the 20th Century: Little Miners. This
tour will show you how children, usually ages eight through 14, worked
our nation's coal mines until the federal government worked to enforce
child labor laws and the need for birth certificates. It also illustrates
how coal was mined, transported and cleaned.
