Diseases which are related due to vitamin D deficiency
Having a disease associated with low vitamin D increases the probability of another, especially if the disease reduces vitamin D
Vitamin D levels must be restored, even if there is no proof that the current disease will be treated by Vitamin D
Restoring vitamin D will prevent many subsequent diseases
There are many documented disease relationships on this page
Diseases listed in above graphic:
Prostate cancer, Breast cancer, Bladder cancer, Skin Cancer, Osteoporosis, Rickets, MS, Falls/fractures Diabetes, Influenza, Kidney, Depression, Chronic fatigue, Birth problems, SAD, Pancreas, Overweight, Heart disease, Lupus, Chronic Pain, ALS, TB, IBD, COPD, Colds, Cognitive Decline, Psorasis, Bone density/fractures
Comorbidity (medical term): presence of one or more additional disorders co-occurring with a primary disorder
Update: Strong association to other vitamin D deficiency diseases - 12 years in UK July 2013
Addison's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, chronic active hepatitis, celiac disease,
Crohn's disease, diabetes mellitus, pemphigoid, pernicious anemia, primary biliary cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis,

The mechanisms to lower the vitamin D level in the blood include:
- Reduce vitamin D intake
From the sun - too sick/frail/obese to get out in the sun, fear additional skin cancer
From the gut - colon surgery, bariatric surgery, IBD, Celiac Disease, Crohn's
- Consume vitamin D
- Short term - pregnancy, surgery, trauma
- Obesity - stores vitamin D in the fat, leaving less in the blood
- Smoking (not really a disease)
- Diseases - MS, Diabetes, HIV (also restricts conversion by Kidney damage)
- Some statins (not all)
- Conflict with vitamin D
- Reduce the conversion of vitamin D into the active form used in the blood
- Reduce the storage of vitamin D in the body
- Liver problems - including excess alcohol,
Most of these problems can be reduced by getting more vitamin D
The more the better - up to a limit
- Sunlight
- Sublingual, injection, bio-emulsified or other forms of vitamin D which do not require the gut
- Adding a lot more vitamin D than a healthy person would need
Some of the vitamin D deficiencies are short term
- Pregnancy (especially low vitamin D if have twins or if closely spaced pregnancies)
- Surgery or trauma
- Season - typically winter, but also extremely hot summers - if people can avoid intense heat with air conditioners

If we were at peak oil, wouldn't markets want to know?
This Guardian article saying that whistleblowers at the International Energy Agency are routinely deliberately putting out inflated figures for potential future oil production in order to avoid panicking the world market with the real figures is certainly interesting. And it'd be nice if oil production were hitting a wall, forcing radical increases in the price of fuel and thus pushing a transition to a non-carbon economy even without the need for cap-and-trade or massive carbon taxes. But the whole logic seems weird to me. Kevin Drum says there's no way to know what to think of it, and while it sounds sort of plausible:
Now the "peak oil" theory is gaining support at the heart of the global energy establishment. "The IEA in 2005 was predicting oil supplies could rise as high as 120m barrels a day by 2030 although it was forced to reduce this gradually to 116m and then 105m last year," said the IEA source, who was unwilling to be identified for fear of reprisals inside the industry. "The 120m figure always was nonsense but even today's number is much higher than can be justified and the IEA knows this.
"Many inside the organisation believe that maintaining oil supplies at even 90m to 95m barrels a day would be impossible but there are fears that panic could spread on the financial markets if the figures were brought down further. And the Americans fear the end of oil supremacy because it would threaten their power over access to oil resources," he added.
A second senior IEA source, who has now left but was also unwilling to give his name, said a key rule at the organisation was that it was "imperative not to anger the Americans" but the fact was that there was not as much oil in the world as had been admitted. "We have [already] entered the 'peak oil' zone. I think that the situation is really bad," he added.
…but would anyone really try to hide information like this from the markets? By what mechanism could an organization systematically raise its real estimates of future production by 20% or more without leaving all kinds of holes in the analysis? And isn't any attempt to conceal information like this merely postponing and exacerbating the real buying panic when the actual limits on production start to become transparently clear? Wouldn't you want pessimistic estimates like this out there as early as possible, 10 or 15 years in advance, so as to cushion the surprises later on? I think the theory has a problem of motive.

Unions support FairPoint strikeJuly 21,2014Unions support
FairPoint strike
MANCHESTER, N.H. Unions representing FairPoint Communications workers in northern New England say preliminary vote counts suggest an overwhelming majority of members support authorizing a strike.
Negotiations began in April on a contract that expires Aug. 2. Workers in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont recently held meetings to vote on whether to authorize a strike.
Voting has finished in Maine and Vermont, but has been extended in New Hampshire due to storm damage.
The vote does not mean the 2,000 workers will go on strike but gives leaders with the Communications Workers of America and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers the ability to call for one later.
The company says service to customers will continue if there is a strike.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

How to Reduce your Cell Phone Bill & Cell Phone Taxes
Well, we got a tip for one of you loyal readers of AskStudent. One of our readers who went to College in Oregon at Oregon State University transferred to University of Florida(UF). He changed his billing address and everything to reflect his new Florida address. So imagine his surprise when he received his cell phone bills. He had a T-Mobile 600 minute Nation wide long distance plan for $39/month. And after Oregon Cell phone tax of 7.75%, he paid a grand total of $42 for his cell phone bill while his roommate with a Florida Cell phone number, for the exact same plan paid $47.42 after Florida taxes of 21.60%, the second highest in the country. Which means our tipster, if he and his roomie kept the exact same plans would be saving around $260 by the time he is done with college. Now mind you, the $39 plan is the cheapest cell phone plan provided by T-Mobile. So the higher your cell phone bill, the more you will be saving.
So how to reduce your cell phone bill taxes?
Well, from the above example, most cell phone carries such as TMobile, At&T , Verizon and Sprint do not seem to base their taxes on the billing address of their customers but instead base it on the area code of their customers cell phone. So, if you want to lower your cell phone taxes, look up our cell phone taxes by state article and find a state with the lowest cell phone bill tax and call up your cell phone provider and do the needful.
Is this legal? Well, I am no lawyer and it might be illegal after all but some research later, the relevant Federal law is the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act, which went into effect in 2002. According to this act, cell phone users are supposed to pay taxes in their "area of primary usage". For our tipster, the area of his primary usage is presently Florida and not Oregon. However, it might not be illegal in his case because he wanted to keep his old cell phone number and did not want a new number in Florida. So, I think the ball is in cell phone providers hands who should be charging according to billing address and not the area code of their customers cell phone number.
As stated earlier, this might be illegal but I would suggest that you look up our Cell phone Taxes by State article and call up your carriers customer service and see if they go through with your plan of shifting to a state which charges lower cell phone bill taxes.If you liked this article, click here to buy me a beer!
Baltimore's not a state…
Just to point out it varies by carrier how they charge state taxes. Verizon charges you on the area code you use most, not the area code you yourself have. Even though I have a Nevada area code, I still get charged WI state taxes because I call and receive that area code the most.
We think it is a very interesting point. Yes you can have a lower cell phone bill taxes based on the sate that you live in. We see this every day when people come to our site to have their cell phone bill audited. The truth of the matter is that cell phone users are supposed to pay taxes based on their area of usage, but there are still a ton of mistakes made on cell phone billing regarding taxes. Make sure that you are paying the right taxes on your cell phone bill. It is not unusual for Carrier to miss bill the tax cost of your bill.
We really recommend that companies review this. At CellBills.com, we see a lot of companies miss billed for their corporate cellular cost. The miss billing of taxes is somewhat common. What we tell our customers at http://www.cellbills.com is to allow us to do the review for them. We let our Customers see their savings evaluation for free. One of the things we look at is tax cost.
Family Circle Magazine just recommended us to their readers this week for the best place to reduce cell phone cost fast so we know how to lower cell phone cost. The article you wrote is very interesting and definitely brings attention to an area that people should be monitoring on their cell phone bills, well done. Thanks for the heads up, and your readers should appreciate you bringing this to their attention. Most people and companies never think to question if their cell phone bills tax are correct.
Unless you're a data slut, you can always go prepaid and avoid the taxes entirely. No contract, either. I've been happy with T-mobile for years for prepaid.
I just moved in and for now, I'm keeping my Net10 phone as my primary phone for the time being – its just so much cheaper. Without having to worry about a landline for now, I can still enoy the savings Net10 gives me each month – more than $65+ a month over my old bill. The TMobile network is still solid and I have great reception in my apartment so no need to give it up yet. Not to mention, my Samsung slider, despite not having the best battery life, is still a very dependable phone and has survived being dropped during the move nearly 10 times. If a phone company can give me a deal like Net10, then I'm on it.
NO landline just a tracfone.. seemed the cheapest way to go and to have a cell phone on a trip is worth alot if you need assistance for an emergency.. cell phone is a necessity in some cases.. unless you never leave your home.
Really mad about the added taxes, used to be no taxes a few years ago now its like taxed more than booze and cigarettes.. thanks to our politicians and their infinite wisdom.
I wish the author would have discussed my situation. I live in Arizona and have a New York cell phone number. Sprint recently began charging me state and local taxes for both states. I believe this practice to be illegal and I am going to check further into FCC code.
When did Baltimore become a state?
Cell phone is not a necessity, it's a privilege. So, in Florida, you get high-taxed for things that you can live without, while in Oregon, you get jacked up for thing that you cannot live without (property taxes in Oregon are outrageous, and the idea to tax motorists by their mileage is pretty obnoxious..)
What is really interesting is that in so-called 'tax-hating' conservative Florida, the taxes are so much higher than in the 'Peoples Republic' of Oregon.
Remember this when Bill-O tries to tell you that the Republicans will lower YOUR taxes.
They're only interested in lowering THEIR OWN (White, Upper Income Bracket) taxes.
I agree that it is funny that Florida has one of the highest state cell phone taxes, but making the leap that is the Rep fault and not the Dem? My wife on FULL PMS can't make irrational leaps like you have! WOW?
You know, that tax increase could have passed when the Dems were in power or another thing to remember is NOT ALL Rep are conservative. Look at John McCain (very liberal to middle of the road politically speaking). The Conservative movement nor the Tea Party really have their own "Party", however they do side with the Republican Party because it would be their best chance of passing legislation that they favor just like the progressive movement, socialist & communist movements have taken over the democratic party in order to get legislation passed that favors their agenda. Those middle of the road candidates and voters might sometime down the road have to either choose a side or create their own party.
All-In-All: Taxes are way too high on everything!!!
While calling international the price was equal for cell and land line connections, now when prices are advertised it's rate is only on land lines and to call a cell phone the cost is about .25 cents
What's the point!!! Are you going to now contact your cell phone carrier and tell them that your are moving to one of the cheaper tax states to get the discount. Then you would have to trust some one down there to get your mail. If you dont have anyone in that state you would have to get a P.O. Box which is gonna cost you any way. Or you can have the post office forward your mail from the cheaper state to the state where you live. It's just too much of a hassle when you think about. To Mr. Nostradomas…That's the absolute dumest thing I've ever heard. Cell phones have saved lives!!! Think about your car stalling and your stuck somewhere and it's 0 below. What are you going to do walk to the nearest pay phone or flag a stranger down who might be a theif or serial killer. There a people putting feces, acid and God knows what orther chemicals on pay phones. Now a a days you can't find pay phones when you need them and when you do find one you're lucky if it works. Cell phones are so necessary and convienient. Imagine the people who died on 911, some were able to call their family members to tell them that they loved them before they died. My exboyfriend was the same way. He was extremely selfish, a user and not lawyal. I find that men who don't want cell phones have the same characteristics as my ex and are usually involved in some thing low down and dirty
What we really need to do is ditch the stupid cell phones any way… who needs them? I wouldn't have one if it wasn't bacause of my wife's nagging to get it…
That way we would show these morons who is boss…
this is really interesting but i bet its illegal so i wouldn't do this unless you are going to move to the area where u want ur cell area code to be in or at least know someone who lives there but over all its interesting to kno how cell phone companies charge taxes.

I have a Sony DAV-S880. I had the DVD playback issues a while back, and had it fixed at 100 pounds. Recently, the same problem has surfaced again - the disc would cycle between reading and a blank screen, eventually giving up with a 'Can't Play' message. I'm quite disappointed, as I was under the impression that Sony would have made a better player than this. Now I use it as a speaker set only.

A nebulizer turns your COPD medicine into a mist. It is easier to breathe the medicine into your lungs this way. If you use a nebulizer, your COPD medicines will come in liquid form.
With a nebulizer, you will sit with your machine and use a mouthpiece. Medicine goes into your lungs as you take slow, deep breaths for 10 to 15 minutes.
Many people with COPD do not need to use a nebulizer. Another way to get your medicine is with an inhaler, which is usually just as effective.
Nebulizers can deliver medicine with less effort than inhalers. You and your doctor can decide if a nebulizer is the best way to get the medicine you need. The choice of device may be based on whether you find a nebulizer easier to use and what type of medicine you take.
How to use a nebulizer
Most nebulizers use air compressors. Some use sound vibrations. These are called "ultrasonic nebulizers." They are quieter, but they cost more money.
Follow these steps to set up and use your nebulizer:
- Connect the hose to the air compressor.
- Fill the medicine cup with your prescription. To avoid spills, close the medicine cup tightly and always hold the mouthpiece straight up and down.
- Attach the other end of the hose to the mouthpiece and medicine cup.
- Turn on the nebulizer machine.
- Place the mouthpiece in your mouth. Keep your lips firm around the mouthpiece so that all of the medicine goes into your lungs.
- Breathe through your mouth until all the medicine is used. This usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. Some people use a nose clip to help them breathe only through their mouth.
- Turn off the machine when you are done.
Taking care of your nebulizer
You'll need to clean your nebulizer to prevent bacteria from growing in it, which can cause a lung infection. It takes some time to keep your nebulizer clean and working properly. Be sure to unplug the machine before cleaning.
After each use:
- Wash the medicine cup and mouthpiece with warm running water.
- Let them air dry on clean paper towels.
- Later, hook up the nebulizer and run air through the machine for 20 seconds to make sure all of the parts are dry.
- Take apart and store the machine in a covered area until the next use.
Once per day, you may add a mild dish soap to the cleaning routine above.
Once or twice each week:
- You may add a soaking step to the cleaning routine above.
- Soak the cup and mouthpiece in 1 part vinegar, 2 parts warm water solution.
You may clean the outside of your machine with a warm, damp cloth as necessary. Never wash the hose, or tubing.
You will also need to change the filter. The instructions that come with your nebulizer will tell you when you should change the filter.
Traveling with your nebulizer
Most nebulizers are small, so they are easy to transport. You may carry your nebulizer in your carry-on luggage when traveling by plane.
- Keep your nebulizer covered and packed in a safe place.
- Pack your medicines in a cool, dry place when traveling.
When to call your doctor
Call your doctor if you are having trouble using your nebulizer. You should also call if you experience any of the following while using your nebulizer:
- Anxiety
- Feeling that your heart is racing or pounding (palpitations)
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling very excited
These may be signs that you are getting too much medicine.

Willamette Week's 2013 Give!Guide was a huge success. Not only did Portland donors meet Willamette Week's $2.1 million goal, they put a $350K cherry on top of a sundae already chalked full of good will!
Oregonians didn't let the BTA miss out on the fun. Our donors helped us crush our fundraising goal and we raised over $46,000. PLUS, we won the Stumptown Challenge for most donors under 35 in the Community category. (Good on you, young hip bike lovin' people!)
We'd also like to give a big thank you to our match partner TeamEstrogen.com, as well as to everyone who donated over $50 to increase their impact.
We are excited to have ended 2013 with such a bang! Thanks again to everyone who donated. Your donations will help us educate more kids, hold an even better Bike Commute Challenge, and push even harder to keep Oregon as a top place to pedal all year long!

Kemper County officials are warning residents in the area to keep a record of their valuables, following a recent house burglary.
This comes after authorities there say Jodie Ferguson of Philadelphia is being charged with stealing almost $30,000 worth of items from a house where she worked.
"It's very important to keep any paperwork on anything of value," Sheriff James Moore says. "It's amazing sometimes that when people buy big screen tv's, computers and they don't put these serial numbers in a safe place because that's very, very vital in recovering your property."
In Ferguson's case, Sheriff moore says quick response from law enforcement led to the 18-year-old's arrest. He says all the stolen items have been recovered. Bond for Ferguson was set at $5,000.

Oklahoma State football: Tougher tests are ahead for Cowboys, like Saturday at Arizona
Cowboys co-defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer considered the game that was (or wasn't) Savannah State, then spun ahead to the quickly changing landscape that awaits, beginning with Saturday's trip to Arizona.
"This week, we're getting off the dirt and getting on the highway," Spencer said.
Are the Cowboys up to speed? Do we even know?
That's the unresolved reality that comes with facing overmatched and overwhelmed foes like Savannah State. There's no tangible measuring stick by which to gauge progress.
So here's what we learned — and didn't learn — from OSU's opener:
Wes Lunt
Learned: He was accurate, as advertised, completing all 11 passes he threw for OSU's first "perfect game" by a quarterback. He appeared calm and confident, too, not at all like some raw rookie.
To Be Determined: Lunt's accuracy was at least partially tied to a safe passing approach based largely on short to intermediate throws, with just one pass attempted downfield. How will he be when more variety is needed to move the chains? Lunt was never pressured or hurried Saturday, making it easy to remain calm. So his test under such scenarios is yet to come.
Wide Receivers
Learned: Much preseason curiosity centered on the search for replacement receivers. The buzz about OSU's promising youngsters seemed spot on, especially in the case of unheralded freshman Austin Hays, who led all receivers with eight catches and 77 yards, with a score. Each of the Cowboys' three TD passes were caught by first-year players, and six receivers overall posted their first career catch. Veteran Isaiah Anderson caught four quick passes for 63 yards before exiting early, confirming hopes about a breakout from him.
TBD: The Cowboys kept things simple, not getting too complicated with routes and assignments. So there's still much to be gleaned when the kids get stressed and stretched in the playbook. More of an issue is the ongoing saga of Tracy Moore, who sat — again — under suspension, casting more concern on whether he'll ever stray far from the doghouse.
Offensive Line
Learned: Even with three new starters and mass substitutions, the OSU front played crisp and clean, paving the way for the running game to romp and keeping the quarterbacks comfortable throughout. Evan Epstein, in his debut as a starter at center, never showed up — which is a good thing.
TBD: Well, it was supposed to be easy, with the Tigers' defensive front four averaging 6-foot-2, 250 pounds. "The competition is not what we're accustomed to," Mike Gundy said. "And we should have run the ball well."
Pace Of Play
Learned: Offensive tempo had been a hot August topic, with Lunt and the new receivers pressing to replicate the pace established by Brandon Weeden and Co. Looked pretty adjusted in the early going, with the offense zipping through plays and touchdown drives that lasted 1:30,: 15, 1:06,: 55 and 1:15 to start the game. Defensively, the Cowboys swarmed to the ball and closed quickly on open space. "I hope that holds true throughout the season," Gundy said.
TBD: The Tigers' defensive approach — little resistance — made it easy for Lunt to get the ball out quickly. How quick will the reads and adjustments come when the defensive looks become more complex?
Improved Defense
Learned: A shutout and a virtual stonewalling, even with a "bunch of Rudys" on the field much of the fourth quarter, well, that's impressive. No major busts. No receivers running free. It's what you'd have wanted to see in an opener against anyone.
TBD: Spencer said it: off the dirt and onto the highway. Arizona sped to 624 total yards, running and passing (although not scoring) at will, in its 24-17 overtime win over Toledo. So a truer test is coming Saturday.

Vt. hikers rescued from NH mountainOctober 09,2013Vt. hikers rescued
from NH mountain
GORHAM, N.H. Two Vermont hikers are safe after being rescued from a New Hampshire mountain after a storm.
The couple were on the summit of Mount Madison in the White Mountains on Monday afternoon when a severe storm soaked them and their gear.
Then a dense fog made it nearly impossible to see the trail. With temperatures dropping, they called 911 for help at about 7 p.m.
Rescuers hiked about four miles up the trail and found them shortly after 1 a.m.
Twenty-eight-year-old Raymond Barnard and 27-year-old Stephanie Watkins of Brownsville, Vt., were cold and wet but able to put on dry clothing and follow rescuers down.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said the pair had used sleeping bags and tent rain fly to protect themselves, which probably saved their lives.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight.

I thought this was pretty funny, if a bit short. just a few comments
1. the b*tches after everything in the credits was a lil unessecary, since we are watching yur animation.
2. @sm00125 dont down vote this cause you support the idiot stormcloaks, who will just be destroyed by the thalmor and imperial armies that will come north to retake skyrim. if you actually want to downvote, do it based on the quality of the comedy, animation, sound, etc.
3. same problem happened to me. i ended up trying to hang him up in my house in windhelm, but i couldnt take him inside :(
1. didn't think it would get more than 200 views, and it wasn't meant to be offensive anyways.
2. don't pay attention to them. They will end up like ulfric here in due time. The empire will reign supreme.
3. I should have tried that :/
Very well done. I do have some constructive criticism though. You have very strong artistic skill, especially with anime type characters. I think you need to work on your animations fluidity so it doesn't look as choppy. Also, the quality of the art varies throughout the animation. You go from very clean anime to a more toony and rough style often. I think you should work on maintaining the quality throughout the cartoon because a constantly changing style can lead people to believe you are "lazy" or just half assing the toon to get it posted. I really think you have great potential, you just need to take more time and focus on making very great quality toons :D.
animation was very nice. where'd you get the main music? i liked it.
it's great someone made a movie about this; i stuffed their bodies behind the throne so i didn't have to look at them anymore. ha!
= main music was from malukah, thanks
It's been a awhile since I've seen a new Skyrim parody.
In truth, this was kind of hilarious.
The best part was the music, where'd you get it?

La actividad principal en la asociación "23 de marzo" es la costura de edredones, sabanas y también la confección de camisas, ropa deportiva y otros, estas prendas las comercializan al Perú, las venden al por mayor. Ellas precisan capital para comprar materia prima en mayor cantidad de ésta manera aumentar su producción y generar mayores ganancias para el bien de sus familias.
Additional Information
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.

text: 000 FXUS63 KPAH 250722 AFDPAH Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Paducah KY 222 AM CDT WED MAY 25 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday night) Issued at 222 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Still wading through the myriad of differing model solutions to try to figure out convection initiation and potential movement of ongoing systems. Several rounds of convection can be expected for the remainder of the work week with west southwest flow continuing with shortwaves moving through, coupled with persistent warm, moist and unstable southerly low level flow. Several of the short term models are hinting at the current MCS over Kansas and convection over OK to eventually head in our direction (or maybe remnant outflow boundaries) by later this morning or this afternoon. We`ll see. To go ahead and trust any one model solution at this point would probably not be too smart given how all over the place their solutions have been. Keeping lower end POPs and maintaining a watchful eye and remaining vigilant for signs of incoming or developing batches of convection looks to be the way to go here at least in the short term. Most of the better upper level support for convection is going to pass us by to the north. So whatever passes overhead today that might aid in any local storm development will be rather weak, hence the smaller type POPs. With hardly any flow aloft, any storms may be slow movers, like yesterday and could produce some heavy rainfall/flooding issues. Looking at instability parameters and lapse rates...would think that any convection that could develop early today would be in our western counties. However, that changes during the afternoon, when the entire area is fairly primed. Dewpoints climb to near 70 this afternoon. There are some signs that tonight may be like last tonight was, fairly dry. But there are hints that another complex of storms might take aim on us again on late tonight and into Thursday. Models have just so much noise at times though, it is hard to really discern what is real. However, we will be watching the evolution and progress of an upper level low currently over southern CA. Chances for convection will continue Thursday night into Friday as the mid level flow backs as this upper low digs into the four corners region and eventually into the central Plains. Again, with no synoptic scale features to latch onto, precipitation chances will be dependent on small disturbances not resolved by models or outflow boundaries or MCV type circulations. So, unfortunately, those will plans this week will have to make sure they keep a close eye on the weather, as specific forecast details will not be nailed down too far out in time. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Tuesday) Issued at 222 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Above average confidence in the long term due to little change in the synoptic pattern through the period. Unsettled weather continues in the long term. With some exception, the surface and upper air patterns show very little change through the period. Synoptically, upper level low pressure remains over the southwest US putting our region in southwest flow aloft with a series of upper level disturbances ejecting from the low and passing across or just north and west of the mid Mississippi valley. In addition, surface high pressure over the southeast US will keep a southerly wind component in the lower levels producing a moisture rich environment (dewpoints in the low to mid 60s), thus increasing boundary level instability. The combination of moisture, instability, and the lift caused by the impulses of upper level energy will no doubt produce multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Although there is mention of precipitation over all or part of our CWA every period, probabilities for the most part will decrease each night due to lack of heating and lowered instability, especially Saturday night and Sunday night. High temperatures in the long term period will generally top out in the mid 80s with overnight lows bottoming out in the low to mid 60s. && .AVIATION... Issued at 222 AM CDT Wed May 25 2016 Little change to previous thinking. The TAFs are VFR and dry. South winds will prevail through the period, and a few gusts into the teens can be expected through the day. A large area of convection over central Kansas is forecast to approach our area by 18Z, so if it holds together, some precipitation and possibly TS will need to be added most likely to KCGI and KPAH for the afternoon. Confidence in the evolution of this system is too low to mention anything in the forecast at this time. && .PAH Watches/Warnings/Advisories... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. && $$

AT&T invested nearly $40 million in its wireless and wired networks in Amarillo between 2011 through 2013, driving a wide range of upgrades to enhance speed, reliability, coverage and performance for residents and business customers.
Advancing its Project Velocity IP, a three-year investment plan to expand and enhance its wireless and wired IP broadband networks, AT&T in 2013 made 59 network upgrades in the Amarillo area, including two new cell sites. Additionally, AT&T expanded the reach of its network delivering powerful fiber-optic connections to 800 business locations at 25 multi-tenant business buildings and business parks.
"Fast, reliable connectivity is essential to economic growth and opening endless windows of opportunity across Texas in areas such as education, health care and public safety," said Dave Nichols, AT&T Texas state President. "AT&T has been able to support job growth and confidently invest more than $6.55 billion in our network infrastructure all across Texas between 2011 and 2013."
Notable Amarillo network enhancements in 2013 included: long-term evolution service launched in Amarillo in September 2013; 17 LTE expansions; 16 LTE upgraded cell sites; and 21 3G upgraded cell sites.
"AT&T's investment of nearly $40 million in Amarillo from 2011 to 2013, combined with the launch of its super-fast 4G LTE network in our area last September, is bringing Amarillo residents access to the same opportunities as someone living in a much larger city. AT&T is certainly helping bridge the gap between urban and rural communities," said state Rep. Four Price, R-Amarillo. "This type of investment empowers us to stay connected to the resources we need to live our lives and participate in this global, interconnected, high-speed world."

George Cummins , crops field specialist
and Brenda Schmitt, Floyd County Extension Education Director
The Rockford Brick and Tile Co. (RBTC) operated a manufacturing site near Rockford from 1910 to 1977. The clay pits used for brick and tile manufacture were formed as an ancient seabed and are a premier site for Devonian era (400 million-year old) fossils. The site overlooks the Winnebago River Valley and is surrounded by steep ground that contained pockets of native prairie plants and rare species like the creeping juniper.
In the late 1980's, the dumpsite used by White Farm Equipment Company for their foundry waste was added to the top ten list of Superfund Cleanup sites. The Rockford clay pits were one of three potential sites considered as an alternative for disposal of these hazardous materials. Using REAP funds, the Floyd County Conservation Board purchased the 167 acre RBTC site to preserve it's unique qualities.
In 1991, Mary Foley, ISU Extension CRD Specialist, and George Cummins, Floyd County Agriculturist/Director, coordinated a Leadership Development Workshop Series in Rockford . Three workshop participants (Don Nelson, Roger Fullerton and Larry Hickok) with the assistance of Wayne Meyer, the county conservationist, developed a comprehensive master plan for a Fossil and Prairie Park . The plan included: construction of a multipurpose educational center; trails with handicap access, wetlands, camping and picnic facilities; establishment of a wetlands and water fowl observation facility; and additional land acquisition along the Winnebago River corridor which could be used for live animal exhibits. The estimated cost of the education center alone was $500,000. A question asked by one of the project evaluators was, Where are you going to get half a million dollars in Rockford ? The Leadership Development Workshops introduced a number of organizational development and networking skills and useful contacts for implementing initial action plans.
A Fossil and Prairie Center Foundation was formed. Land acquisitions to date have expanded the park from the original 167 acres to 402 acres. Sixty acres of native prairie have been established. Handicapped accessible trails have been built. A wetland and waterfowl observation blind have been constructed. The 7000 sq. ft. education center was opened in April, 2001 and includes an exhibit hall, a large meeting room, a resource library, offices, a scientific lab and a kitchenette. Exhibits in the education center include a Native Prairie Exhibit. a fossil exhibit, a saltwater aquarium with living corals and a new exhibit on Ag Drainage From Wetland to Farmland. The park has hosted several workshops. School groups and international visitors have been attracted to the Fossil and Prairie Park .

The ski area in southwest Colorado is looking at possible expansions into the San Juan National Forest; adding some lifts and on-mountain facilities; and upgrading some lifts.
It also is exploring using shuttles to bus visitors over Wolf Creek Pass to the ski area, rather than adding more parking.
Wolf Creek has water rights for snowmaking, and it sees itself fully using those rights in the next couple of decades.
Wolf Creek Ski Area President Davey Pitcher says those are just ideas. The ski area is having public information meetings March 6-8 to hear what the public thinks about those ideas.

Nothing says fall like pumpkin! These chewy breakfast cookies allow you to embrace the pumpkin baking tradition without a lot of sugar and fat. While nicknamed "breakfast cookies" because of their appearance, they are full of good-for-you ingredients. Unlike most recipes for breakfast baked goods, this one doesn't require flour, white sugar or eggs. Mashed bananas and pumpkin puree provide natural sweetness and allow the ingredients to bind together. Oats give them a chewy texture and, along with the ground flaxseed, are a great source of fiber.
While these cookies are a wonderful complement to a cup of tea or coffee on a lazy morning, they're also ideal for a healthy and convenient weekday breakfast. One batch makes 14 cookies, and a serving of one or two cookies will keep you full for quite a while. Open a can of pumpkin puree to make Pumpkin Oatmeal Pancakes over the weekend. Then, finish the can making these breakfast cookies. You'll have breakfast for the next week! No heating or utensils are necessary, so these cookies are great for an on-the-go breakfast. They're perfect for grabbing something easy for your morning commute. And because they look like cookie treats, kids will also like them for a quick and healthy breakfast before school.
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed until creamy (a food processor works best)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar (optional for a little extra sweetness)
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats, uncooked
- 3/4 cup flax seeds, ground (optional)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie trays with parchment paper. (Parchment paper is important to minimize sticking.)
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin, vanilla, spices and agave.
- Add the oats and ground flax seeds, stirring well. Allow mixture to sit for about 10 minutes to soften the oats.
- Stir in dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
- Drop dough on cookie sheets using a small ice cream scoop. Slightly flatten balls of dough to create circles ¼ - ½" thick.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cookies are golden and slightly firm. Cookies are chewy, so they will not get crispy edges.
- Makes approximately 14 cookies.
Ingredient note: While flaxseed doesn't affect the taste in these cookies, it has many health benefits. Flaxseed is often found in the health food section or nut aisle of local grocery stores. In Bensalem, PA, you can find bags of flaxseed at Giant on Street Road or ShopRite on Bristol Road. Buying flaxseed whole allows it to stay fresher longer, but it is recommended that you use it ground in your recipes. You will absorb more nutrients from ground flaxseed, and it will be more easily digested. Simply grind the flaxseed in a food processor, or better, in a coffee grinder. For more on the nutritional benefits of flaxseed, click here.

Mr. President,
On behalf of millions of gay and lesbian Americans, I write to denounce your decision to divide the American family by promoting an amendment that would insert discrimination into the United States Constitution. Your decision to use the grounds of the White Houseâ€â€?America's Houseâ€â€?to advance discrimination is an insult to millions of fair minded Americans from all walks of life.
Mr. President, gay and lesbian Americans pay taxes, contribute to community and family life across our great nation, and worship the same all-loving and compassionate God. Thousands of gay and lesbian Americans, under your command, serve proudly in our nation's military, fighting to win the war on terror and promoting liberty across the globe. Your effort to codify discrimination against our families, including men and women in uniform while the nation is at war, is offensive and unworthy of the office of the Presidency. Great Republican Presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Ronald Reagan have united Americans and appealed to our best hopes, not our worst fears.
–Patrick Guerriero, President of Log Cabin Republicans in an Open Letter to President Bush yesterday.

The world of telecommunications services in less developed countries (LDCs) underwent a profound transformation in the final years of the 1980s. The transfer of state-owned telecom companies to private owners and the opening of certain segments of the market to competition has radically altered the sector's traditional institutional and economic arrangements. Major changes first occurred in MDCs such as the United States and Britain, where the explosion and diversification of technological innovations, the merger of telecom and computers, and the demands of large corporate users--who sought more sophisticated and cheaper services to compete in an increasingly global and informatized economy--brought pressure for change.
In LDCs, demise of public utilities monopolies--such as telecom--are less tied to technological innovation or economic growth than to the fiscal crisis and economic decline suffered by most developing nations during the 1980s. Economic constraints and the increasingly crucial role of telecom for economic development led LDC governments to carry out sweeping state reforms, which included the privatization and liberalization of telecommunications services.
The medium- and long-term consequences of these reforms are of great importance for LDC development. Due to the multiplier effects of telecom across almost every economic activity, mistakes in the design of new telecom regimes are quickly felt throughout the productive system, affecting a country's ability to compete in the global economy.
In pursuit of fiscal health, renewed economic growth, and improved telecom services, countries have attempted to privatize SOTEs and liberalize key

Sorry for being a total idiot, this is my first proper hack here (minus a couple idiot blunders when I was twelve or so) but is there any way to insert the Pokemon into the wild as of right now? (Like, via a tool or something - I'm a bit too stupid to redo headers and such myself, if that's even what the term is) AdvanceMap has 412 of them, but is missing quite a good amount (obviously xD) which I assume is because that's how many there are normally. So, is there a patch or ini for AdvanceMap or anything?

Two of Forrester Groundswell Award Winners Use Lotus Connections

Forrester recently selected the winners of the Groundswell Awards and two of the winners are solutions powered by IBM's Social Software Platform: Lotus Connections. You may remember that I spoke about how CEMEX was nominated for a Forrester Groundswell Award? My colleague, Martha Mealy, mentioned it last week, but I wanted to highlight it here again.
CEMEX was selected as a winner of a Forrester Groundswell Award in the Collaboration category. The news also spread like fire on Monday as part of the Lotus Connections 3.0 launch.
CEMEX was faced with the challenge of a globally distributed workforce, multiple languages, and multiple timezones. In the video below you'll see Gilberto García, Director of Innovation at CEMEX, talk about how they started to look at their internal culture and ask the question: "How can we change the culture of our company?"
To become more agile, CEMEX created Project Shift, where not only they deployed an internal social network, but their social collaboration platform is now their intranet!"
I was pretty impressed by their adoption rate:
I also liked his last quote: "It can make a big company feel like a small company". That's definitely my feeling as I use Lotus Connections internally every day at a company with over 400,000 employees. And guess what? CEMEX's stock price has skyrocketed recently. Could this be related?
In the B2B Category for Supporting, Forrester named IBM the winner for its implementation of Lotus Connections over at developerWorks. My developerWorks has calculated an ROI of over $100 M in annual savings by leveraging the Lotus Connections platform as its core for supporting over 8 million users worldwide. The site currently receives 1 million visitors / month.

Update 4/26/2014: The promotion period has been extended to 6/14/2014.
First Niagara Bank has a nice checking account promotion in which you can earn up to $250. The account can be opened online, and I was told by the bank CSR that the promotion is available nationwide. Full details are listed at this First Niagara Bank promotions page. The offer is scheduled to run through 3/29/2014. Below is a summary of the requirements:

Minimum opening deposit is $50 for Choice and Pinnacle checking and $500 for PinnaclePlus. Pinnacle checking is an interest-bearing account.

There is no limitation on the amount by which Interest Rates may change. As of 2/1/14, Pinnacle and PinnaclePlus accounts earn an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 0.01% for all balances.

"The Teracotta Warriors, or Bin Ma Yong" Xian Shan Things to Do Tip by MylesD
Xian Shan Things to Do: 22 reviews and 33 photos
This is the reason why you should come to Xi'an. One of the most magnificient pieces of history ever found, the warriors and the Great Wall and the 2 most prized-possessions of Chinese history (in my opinion).
They are open 8:30-5:30. Contrary to what other people would say on virtual tourist, pictures *are* allowed there (I was there just 3 weeks ago), but don't use a flash, because that's pushing it :)
They are located 1-hour away from Xi'an. To get there, you need to go to the bus station, which is located opposite of the train station. Bus 310 can take you there, but forget I ever said that. You'll never get on. People claw, punch, kick and fight to get a seat on those buses (which come around almost every 10 minutes). The tickets are only 10 Yuan round-trip, so I guess that's why. However, the best bet is to hang around in the corner of that section and to look for other foreigners. Then, if you're 4 or 5 people, rent a taxi or a truck to bring you there. Those people will find you first, trust me, they're all over the place, and they'll spot you immediately..foreigners stick out like sore thumbs there. Don't settle for more than 40 Yuan round-trip, otherwise you're being cheated. 40's a good deal.
They might tell you that they have to stop in at some kind of store first, because those drivers get a small commission for bringing people there...but it's only for 5 minutes, so don't worry.
The entrance ticket is 90 Yuan...the price went up from 65 two years ago. The luggage check is another 10. They re-organized the entire entrance, so that the people who used to sell stuff and clog up the entire place were moved off to the side...so if you're interested in buying junk on the way out, you can't miss 'em.
