Golden Rules for Pet-Lovers
Check first, and if your visitors are hesitant about animals or confess to an allergy to cat hair, don't inflict your animals upon them. Insouciantly exclaiming "she really likes you" as your visitor flinches from the insistent kneading of a sharp-clawed cat, simply won't do.
If you have house guests, keep pets out of their bedrooms, unless enthusiastically requested to do otherwise.
You may love your mutt, applaud its rambunctious barking and tolerate its messier excrescences, but you are making a big mistake if you assume the rest of the world feels the same.
When you are out with your dog, keep it under control. Be aware that small children (quite reasonably) and some adults are actually very frightened of dogs. So make sure that - if there is any risk of an upsetting encounter - you keep your dog on the leash.
Be aware that large, robust dog that loves to jump up, put its paws on shoulders, and slobber enthusiastically in people's faces may cause consternation, especially amongst young children, who are liable to be knocked off their feet.
It's no good muttering inanities like "he's just being friendly" or "he doesn't mean any harm" when you're dealing with a hysterically terrified child. Think carefully before exposing your dog to a small child and vice versa - if there's any risk of fear or injury shut the dog away.
Dog mess is an intolerable nuisance, especially in the middle of pavements and paths. If you have any respect at all for your fellow human beings, you will always carry plastic bags and remove it.
You may feel foolish and humiliated as you humbly clean up after your imperious, careless pet. But you have freely chosen to be a dog-owner, and that means accepting full responsibility for everything your dog does.
Watch your dog's restaurant etiquette. You may not mind him putting his paws on the table and licking the gravy from your empty plate, but many people will find this unhygienic and intrusive and will be looking at your dog's antics with a very jaundiced eye.
Only take your dog to a restaurant (or even a pub garden) if he will lie quietly under the table, drink discreetly from a dedicated dog bowl and not upset fellow diners. As a pet-owner you will inevitably become accustomed to the anti-social behaviour of your pets. You will be blissfully oblivious to the relentlessly squeaking hamster-wheel, the pungent smell of freshly-opened cat food, the dawn barking ritual, or the dog and cat hairs that strew your cushions and stick, glue-like, to your guest's clothes.
But you really must think carefully about all these manifestations before inviting people to your home. You cannot simply assume that your friends and relations will share your tolerance and - within reason - you should do your best to accommodate their reservations (e.g. open the cat food when the guests are out of the room, vacuum your sofa before the guests arrive, oil the hamster-wheel etc. etc.).
Don't anthropomorphise your pets in public: you may think of them as furry near-humans, but cloying 'conversations', complete with baby voices and saccharine endearments, will embarrass your visitors.

With the start of the 2014 season just a few days away, the Oregon Women's Soccer team is ready to continue improving in head coach Kat Mertz's second season.
"Last year, we didn't get the results that we wanted to on the field, as far as the win-loss column," said Mertz, "but we accomplished a lot off the field. We changed the culture and set foundations for our future success. We really put in play how we want Duck Soccer to be known – a hardworking team, a team that doesn't give up."
Oregon finished 12th in the Pac-12 last season with a 2-8-1 conference record. In conference play, the Ducks earned a 1-0 contest over Arizona on Oct. 13, 2013 before defeating then-No. 12 California on Oct. 28.
Mertz is joined by assistant coaches Christie Welsh, in her second season, and newcomer Manny Martins. In the offseason, Kelsey Foo, Ryann Davie and Abby Steele were chosen as captains.
Since the end of last season, the Ducks have continually taken steps in rebuilding. In the spring season, the team went 3-0-1 and outscored opponents 11-2. Three of the games were shutouts for UO. Additionally, the Ducks welcome 12 newcomers to the program this year.
"This fall – we're excited about it," said Mertz. "We lost just about two returning players. We have 12 newcomers, so we have some depth. We're really just going to piggyback off our spring. We scored a lot of goals in the spring and we didn't give too many up. We'll just try to continue with that success."
The Ducks begin the season Wednesday in an exhibition against Trinity Western at 5 p.m. at Papé Field.
Oregon will try and build off the scoring prowess it found in the spring with a number of returning players from last season.
"We found our scoring in the spring," said Mertz. "We need to finish more than we did last year, and I think our group of forwards is up to the challenge.
Junior Kristin Parr tied for the team's lead in goals (3) last year for the second straight season and will be the center of the Ducks' attack this year. Senior Bri Pugh started all 18 games and recorded six points (2G, 2A) last season, and will look to set up teammates from the flank. In the offseason, Pugh was called up for two U.S. U-23 Women's National Team training camps.
Junior Brooke Strawn returns after suffering an injury last season and will use her height to win balls for the Ducks. Senior Shanelle Simien played in 19 matches last season and brings a high soccer IQ to the front line.
Freshman Zoe Higgins is the only newcomer to the forward core. Higgins trained with the Ducks in the spring, using the time to sharpen her skills for the collegiate level.
The Ducks will compete without sophomore ShayLee Miner, who led Oregon in points (7) last season. Miner, who played in all 19 games last season, suffered a knee injury in the spring. Junior Kira Wagoner will join the Ducks late after having surgery in the spring.
Mertz likes to run plays through the midfield and will take advantage of having a deep set of players who are able to take control both offensively and defensively.
"Last year we really wanted to get the ball going through the midfield," said Mertz. "We're looking forward to seeing the team's hard work pay off this season, especially since we have more depth."
Seniors Ryann Davie and Lilly Archer will center the unit after developing chemistry in the spring. Davie started in 11 games last season while recording five points, and will assist the defense. Archer made 12 starts last season and will transition the ball to the offense.
Senior Kiyomi Cook, who started all 19 matches last season, will provide an offensive spark for the midfield. Cook recorded two assists last season while logging the second-most minutes of all field players (1,594). Junior Mia Gunter played in 16 matches last season, while junior Kira Wagoner played in 18 games last season, and both juniors bring experience and leadership to the field.
Sophomore transfer Marlo Sweatman brings international experience to the Ducks as a member of the Jamaican National team. In her rookie season with Florida State, Sweatman appeared in six matches as the Seminoles reached the Women's College Cup finals.
Junior Maryn Beutler, who started all 19 matches last season, will not be available immediately for the Ducks after having surgery in the spring.
Freshmen Abby Morrow, Miranda Schulz and Brooke Tasker are also in the mix for playing time this season.
The defense will look to move on after graduating senior starters and captains Achijah Berry and Gabbie Lindeman. Despite the loss, the Ducks still carry a base of defenders looking to continue last season's success, when the team recorded five shutouts.
Senior Riley Smith started in 18 matches last season and will look to continue her relentless attitude on the flank. Fellow senior Reilley Moore will see time at center back or out wide after starting all 16 matches she appeared in last year. Moore ranked seventh on the team last year in points (7), which was the most for a defender.
Senior Allie Rodriguez stepped up in the spring while challenging for a starting role on the flank.
Redshirt junior Kelsey Foo and redshirt freshman Caitlyn Wong will return to the field at center back after missing last season with injuries. Sophomore Ashlee Schulz played the most minutes of any freshman last year (876) with seven starts and will use her technical skills on either the flank or at center back.
Five freshmen will compete for playing time in the fall. Madison Wiegand-Brown and Abby King both bring speed and the ability to set pace to the defense. Jordan Fleming is a natural left-sided player and helps start the attack. Kerri Cook worked with the Ducks in the spring, giving her a leg up on adjusting to the college level. Michelle Rockey could see time at center back as a natural leader who can set pace.
Senior Abby Steele returns for her final season with Oregon after being the backbone of the defense for the past three years. Steele holds the lowest all-time goals against average (1.19) in Oregon history and is also second in career shutouts (13). The Santa Rosa, Calif., native has started 51 of 57 matches she's appeared with a career .792 save percentage.
Even though Steele is a lock for the starting spot, the competition for her backup is fierce. Sophomore Lauren Holden, junior transfer Katie McCormick and freshman Halla Hinriksdóttir are all competing for the slot.
"You want a natural, healthy, competitive goalkeeping group so they can push each other in training," said Mertz. "It'll be nice to see how Abby responds. She hasn't really been challenged in the past."
Holden played 45 minutes last season, allowing one goal and making three saves. McCormick comes to the Ducks from North Dakota State. In two seasons with the Bison, McCormick played in five matches with one start and held a 2-2 record.
Hinriksdóttir provides international experience to the Ducks as a product of the Icelandic Youth Women's National Team. Hinriksdóttir has started in each of Iceland's UEFA Women's U19 matches for the past two years. She also played for semipro club Breiðablik.
After the team's exhibition against Trinity Western, the 2014 season takes off at the Wisconsin Tournament from Aug. 22-24. Oregon returns to Eugene to take on Saint Mary's and Loyola Marymount on Aug. 29 and 31, respectively.
The following weekend, the Ducks play host to Eastern Michigan and Cal State Fullerton in the Oregon State Tournament. On Sept. 12, Oregon travels north to Portland to take on in-state rival Portland State. The team travels to BYU on Sept. 18 for the final nonconference game of the fall.
Washington travels to Eugene on Sept. 25 for the beginning of the Pac-12 slate. The Ducks then fly to the Grand Canyon State to face Arizona State on Oct. 3 and Arizona on Oct. 5.
Oregon hosts Utah on Oct. 10 and Colorado on Oct. 12, and makes a quick trip to Washington State on Oct. 19.
The Ducks take on USC and defending National Champion UCLA on Oct. 24 and 26, respectively, in Eugene. In its final road trip of the year, Oregon travels to Stanford and California on Oct. 30 and Nov. 2.
Oregon State makes its way to Eugene for the Ducks' season finale in the Civil War match on Nov. 7.

Yes, it's a fave in the cadder house.
I know Click completed LBP1 and has 2, and maggot_bag also spends an inordinate amount of time creating levels and playing with the creation tools.
I've finished the story levels of both, and have a few o the download packs.
My kids love playing it too.

I haven't picked up LBP2 yet, but the first one is a blast. It's one of the few games that the wife and I can play together with my friend and his wife (in various locations, of course) all at the same time. Set up the PS3 headsets in desktop mode, add alcohol, and let good natured trash talking commence. Uproariously good fun.
A word of warning though... too much alcohol and the levels with spinning grab-wheels -- not a good combo.
If at any time I'm online and you want company, (on this or anything else I have) just let me know and I'll be happy to join you (that goes for anyone else too)!
Many thanks to Greybear, who completed in a few days what I could not in a year!

FWIW, I think LBP2 is more fun than LBP1, my kids (and I) really enjoyed the sackbot levels.
By the same token, it didn't take nearly as long to complete the LBP2 story missions as it did LBP1, so perhaps it's a little easier?

Many of us don't take the time to bring what we love to do into the everyday conversations we have at home, at work or in social settings. Getting our friends and family to try shooting and hunting is the most important first step in bringing shooting and hunting back into the mainstream of American culture. Only be increasing the value of shooting and hunting to all Americans can we ensure the future of shooting, hunting and conservation."

Can A Lawyer Help Me Foreclose Or Short Sale My Home
People being foreclosed upon or needing to short sell their home are usually in complicated, unfamiliar and stressful situations. A real estate attorney's familiarity with a state's specific rules of foreclosure and short sales can help people make the best decisions along the way, help create a strategy, and aid in reaching the best outcome possible for each specific situation.
How can a Foreclosure Attorney Help Me?
If you are facing foreclosure, a foreclosure attorney can help you in many ways. They will look at your legal documents, like the terms and conditions of your home's purchase agreement, and explain them to you in a way you can understand; then, they can help you understand any alternatives to foreclosure that may exist. Once you have decided which path to take, your attorney can talk to your lender's legal department for you, answering any questions you have about the process, negotiating with your lender to modify your mortgage, and even defending or delaying your foreclosure in court if necessary. Your attorney can even help you set up a deed in lieu of foreclosure and/or help you file for bankruptcy if it comes down to that step.
There is no law or regulation that states you must have an attorney assist you through the foreclosure or short sale process, but there certainly are significant advantages to hiring an attorney.
What About in a Short Sale?
It is important to recognize that real estate agents, those who would actually list the home and negotiate the short sale, are very different from real estate lawyers, experts who give legal advice in the area of real estate. While there are very few situations where a homeowner would need a lawyer during the actual short sale, it would be very beneficial to consult one before taking short sale actions, to understand the bank's rights as well as homeowner's rights, and to help explain the legal ramifications of a short sale.
Real estate and real estate financing are very complicated fields. The homeowner is often left with no one on their side, and a lawyer could be just the person to help out and fight for a homeowner's rights during a very difficult time.

About the Center
The DSC is dedicated to the development and implementation of strategies that advance policy and practice to improve quality, eliminate racial and ethnic disparities, and achieve equity in health care in a time of rapid transformation.
Specifically we are working to:
Our goal is to move beyond research to action—by developing and disseminating models for improving quality and identifying and addressing racial and ethnic disparities in health care nationally, regionally, and locally. Through our work, we hope to move all healthcare stakeholders one step forward – and closer towards achieving equity in healthcare.
Composed of a multidisciplinary group of health policy experts, health services researchers and physicians, the DSC is housed within the MGH Mongan Institute for Health Policy and is affiliated with MGH and Harvard Medical School's Department of Medicine.
The creation of The Disparities Solutions Center follows and builds upon a commitment by MGH to eliminate health care disparities. MGH first established a system-wide Committee on Racial and Ethnic Disparities in 2003 to focus internal attention on the challenge of disparities, improve the collection of race/ethnicity data, and implement quality improvement programs to reduce disparities. The Center has been established in response to the national and local calls to action to address disparities in health care.

Current Initiatives
Center for Healthy Communities
The College of Health and Human Services at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (CHHS UNCW), in partnership with regional public health leadership and staff, has established the Southeastern North Carolina Regional Health Collaborative (SENCRHC) to improve individual and population/community health in southeastern North Carolina through regional programs and interventions. While the CHHS UNCW has agreed to serve as the initial organizing structure of the SENCRHC, the Center for Healthy Communities (CHC) has emerged to provide critical backbone functions that provide the guidance, coordination and communication required to maintain an effective collaborative. The Center's goal is to actively coordinate and facilitate the work of the collaborative. Critical to the success of this collaborative is the ongoing coordination, communication and measurement of impact. The Center will provide these functions. Additionally, the CHC will provide the ongoing support for the following activities:
- organizing and facilitating Collaborative meetings,
- providing shared measurement systems models,
- developing and implementing data collection and storage systems to track the coordinated activities, collective impact and regional return on investment of the Collaborative,
- engaging undergraduate and graduate students within the CHHS UNCW in applied learning experiences within each county – CHHS UNCW has a history of placing students in learning "laboratories" in these counties and, with this effort those student placements will be more coordinated and consistently provided,
- providing program technical assistance and outcome and process evaluation services to counties,
- exploring research opportunities and sourcing associated personnel,
- producing reports supporting the Collaborative's work,
- providing professional development and continuing education programming to the workforce within the Collaborative,
- providing the fiscal management of the Collaborative and related regional activities,
- facilitating the development, implementation and evaluation of an effective communication plan, and
- seeking additional funding opportunities to develop a shared funding pool to support creative local efforts and more fully develop and sustain the Collaborative through grant writing and advancement work.
The iMap aims to be a comprehensive, user-friendly resource to help community partnerships select and implement evidence-based interventions to improve priority population health conditions. Existing evidence-based resources fall short of meeting the needs of practitioners because they are focused on assessing the evidence base rather than providing resources for selecting and implementing interventions. The iMap addresses this gap.
The site is currently being pilot tested by SENCRHC along with 9 community partnerships across North Carolina with the intent to use the iMap to help achieve their Healthy NC 2020 objectives related to tobacco use and physical activity and nutrition. SENCRHC has decided to use the iMap to help select and implement an evidence-based program that focuses on physical activity and nutrition in our region.
The Affordable Care Act: Education & Enrollment
SEAHEC is working with the Collaborative's partner organizations to host a series of community education and enrollment sessions on the Affordable Care Act.

The 29th Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards took place on March 1, 2014, at the beach in Santa Monica, Calif. Here is what these Spirit Award winners said backstage in the Spirit Awards press room.
Best Documentary
What was the hardest thing about making "20 Feet From Stardom"?
Morgan Neville (director/producer): The hardest thing about putting this film together was, hands down, cutting stuff out, because it was all so interesting. Everybody I met, I wanted to make a documentary about. I had to keep reminding myself that I wasn't making a 12-hour documentary. I wasn't writing a book. I was trying to make a feature film.
Every moment of it, I just loved falling into this world. And what I realized early on when I started meeting these ladies was that they were a family, and they invited me into their family with open arms. And I know I'm going to be in their family for the rest of our lives, so I love it.
Can you talk about your editors for this movie and how they helped you make those editing decisions?
Neville: Yeah, they did. Doug [Blush], Kevin [Klauber] and Jason [Zeldes]. They're here today. They won the ACE Award for best editing, and they deserved it, because they did an incredible job. But I was just talking to Claudia [Lennear]: "It might have been my vision, but it was your story." And I thank them for their stories.
To the singers, what was it like to have your story told in this documentary?
Darlene Love (co-star): When we started doing this, my story is a long and great story to me, but when I saw it on screen, I got very emotional. Our director captured us talking, and he put the whole thing together. I always say he dug really deep, and then he found things in us, and then he put it on screen. It's amazing.
Judith Hill (co-star): I feel deeply honored to be a part of this. What strikes me about this whole thing is that it's so much bigger than all of us. Our story is symbolic for everyone who's had a dream and struggled. It's been so powerful to see how everyone is connected, whether you're a singer or what ever you do, that dream and that whole Cinderella story, it's awesome.
Judith Hill was a contestant on "The Voice" in 2013, the same year that "20 Feet From Stardom" was released. Do you think that exposure helped the movie?
Neville: It was one of these weird things was we finished the film, and then Judith went on "The Voice," not really knowing what was going to happen to our film. So it was just a weird set of circumstances. It turned out to be great, because a lot of people understood just how good she was and how good backup singers are.
And my personal take, whether or not Judith agrees, she didn't make it 'til the end ["The Voice" finals] because people said (and I saw this over and over and over), "She's a professional. She's a backup singer. She shouldn't be on a show like this. She has it made."
And the whole time we filmed this film, Judith was living at her parents' house, in her childhood bedroom, trying to raise money so she could do record showcases and pay for her band. And I think people assume so much about backup singers, that they're on stage next to a rock star; therefore, they live a rock star's life. And that could not be further from the truth. I'm just happy we're the antidote to that "quick fix" thing we have in our society: If you're on stage, you're a star.
How surprised were you that you were selected for "20 Feet From Stardom"?
Hill: Shocked.
Claudia Lennear (co-star): It was a complete surprise for me. You know, sometimes Hollywood is very fickle. We all know that. You can be huge one day and not-so-huge the next day.
But when I was called to be a part of this project (and I'm sure the other ladies as well), immediately for me it was, "Yes! Yes!" Because no one seemed to have the courage to deal with this topic.
We did form the fabric of pop-music culture. It's so wonderful that finally, things are put into perspective. It was a very positive experience. And I'm sure for all of us.

Is there any doubt about the fact that humans dominate the earth?
When we reach to the skies, we rule them.
Remember the expression, "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
Man against fish, we stand little chance against the great white shark or Moby Dick.
But humans have the advantage of being able to get out of the water and organize hunts by boat or helicopter, more than leveling the playing field.
On land, tiger beats unarmed man, but rifle trumps tiger. Brain power wins over brawn.
Whether you like the idea or not, humankind has risen to the top of the food chain.
The question is, how did we get there?
Was it really just a combination of gene pool isolation, time, and a lot of sexual reproduction to kill boredom?
How did man become a hairless ape so ridiculously advanced when compared to his hairy brother? It's kind of funny to think that the Bible offers a hint Darwin could have been right about the origin of species.
Remember the story of Esau and Jacob?
One kid was really hairy while the other was almost hairless.
Does this mean that Esau exhibited Neanderthal or Australopithecus traits, or could he have merely been suffering from a case of hypertrichosis?
How can we ever figure out an answer to that question?
Recently I engaged a very intelligent friend – a scientist from Down Under – on the topic of natural selection in regard to the formation of a new species of animal.
Zoe made clear that her true field of expertise is literally rocket science. Her specialty is studying evolution as applied to computational chemistry.
She is not an evolutionary biologist. Perhaps one out there is willing to join our conversation to offer any corrections of misperceptions that are necessary.
However, she is willing to offer this writer her highly informed opinion in lieu of one from an expert in that particular field until a voice of authority decides to cooperate.
In the course of our conversation, Zoe agreed with my assertion that sexual reproduction and time, are the only known mechanisms to explain how natural selection might extend beyond known biological barriers to form a new species, clade, or whatever current term you prefer.
Allegedly only by descent over time, we separated from the apes.
Going back farther, we separated from bears, lions, and tigers.
Still farther back in time, we are supposedly related to crabs, whales, and sharks.
Finally, if you go back far enough, we find ourselves very distant cousins (through descent via sexual reproduction, remember?) to bananas, oak trees, and algae.
In other words, we are all pond scum.
Am I the only person on the planet having a hard time believing this speculation?
There seems to be a number of problems with this philosophy.
First, there are known biological limitations regarding the offspring that result from mating.
Animals tend to breed with members of their species.
Mating with another species almost always produces sterile hybrids like mules, wholphins and zedonks.
Otherwise, we would be able to naturally observe the emergence of zedonk, wholphin, or mule species.
But we do not.
Therefore, the organization of a new species must be accomplished by gene flow, isolation, fitness and other factors within members of the same existing species.
Over lots of time, of course.
Unquestionably, these factors easily explain variations within a species – like polar bears, grizzly bears, and their fertile "hybrid" first cousins, the polizzly bear.
Or the Larus gulls. Or Darwin's finches.
Only by claiming polar bear and grizzly bear are different species can one claim observable speciation has occurred.
However, descent by natural selection does not explain the existence of both Larus gulls and Darwin's finches from some common ancestry.
You can claim that gulls and finches are closely related by DNA, but you cannot say with any certainty that we know for sure how that relationship developed solely via the means of natural selection and sexual reproduction.
Indeed, the "modern" laws of biological reproduction seem to starkly contradict the idea that animals of two different species would share a common ancestor.
And these modern rules of biology are rather strictly enforced. Humans breed to produce new humans, and apes breed and produce new apes.
And ne'er the twain shall meet.
Another significant issue with the biology is the problem of incest.
For the sake of argument, let's say humans really are hairless apes. Some regular primates migrated to very hot parts of the continent away from their relatives.
They were isolated by mountains or water from remixing in with their kin. Then over generations, gene swapping, survival of the fittest, etc. meant that s-l-o-w-l-y, so that you could never tell the difference between parent and child, these apes gradually lost their hair, began to walk upright, learn to develop speech, and then to communicate on how best to make weapons to dispatch their less fortunate, more brutish cousins from the face of the planet.
So far, so good?
Please note that I have not yet proclaimed the theory completely unbelievable – I only find it considerably less plausible than my alternate theory developed as a result of trying to figure out how the "scientific" one supposedly works.
But I mentioned incest.
To gain "purity" of mutation in this isolated colony, there must be a significant amount of inbreeding between closely related animals in order to protect a specific trait. We have learned this through animal breeding.
If you want all the characteristics of a purebred German Shepherd Dog, you need a purebred mother and father.
But if you want a healthier German Shepherd Dog, the purebred parents must not be closely related. The Bible may tell us that incest is morally wrong, but the rule (according to genetics) inflicts a physical price on its practitioners.
Coincidentally, many breeders suggest that if they stop the practice of artificial selection, the canine species will devolve to a generic, mostly black mutt.
And who is managing all of this in the wild?
Incest within small, confined populations is only one challenge to the theory of speciation to create a species.
Genetics expert Dr. Barry Starr of Stanford University wrote the informative article found at this link which describes how two parents without red hair could have a red-haired child.
Or two parents with brown eyes could have a blue-eyed child.
There is even a report of a very rare case where two black parents had a baby with blond hair and blue eyes.
So, it isn't out of the question that two hairy primates could have hairless (or less hairy) offspring, but what are the odds of survival for that offspring? Or that trait being preserved?
There is a problem of dominant versus recessive genes.
"Hairy" ape would obviously be the norm or expected result over "hairless" ape.
Humans became the dominant species, and hairlessness is the dominant trait of this new species.
Question: if we are descended from and remain primates, how and when did hairiness switch from being a dominant to a recessive trait?
Due to concerns about excessive article length, I shall only mention that the problem of having enough time for this to happen is greatly exacerbated by what our paleontologist friends have told us about mass extinctions indicated by the fossil record.
As a result, we need new hypotheses like panspermia and punctuated equilibrium in order to reconcile the problem between the time needed for evolution to occur in spite of periodic mass extinctions.
Also, the inconsistency in the rate of change in animal form is another most maddening problem.
Neither the coelacanth nor crocodile have allegedly evolved to any significant degree in over 300 million years.
The duck native to Georgia allegedly has not evolved from modern form in over 50 million years.
Why does some basic morphology of some species become fixed while others continue to have dramatic mutatations for millions of years afterward?

Suburbanites enjoy better labor market outcomes
December 11, 1998
Regardless of age, sex, race, or ethnicity, people living in central cities are less likely to be in the labor force and more likely to be unemployed than those living in the suburbs.
[Chart data—TXT]
In 1997, 69.9 percent of persons living in the suburbs participated in the labor force, compared with 64.6 percent of persons living in central cities. The unemployment rate of suburbanites was 4.0 percent, compared with 7.3 percent for city dwellers.
The differences in labor-market outcomes for city dwellers and suburbanites are particularly striking among black workers. Among blacks living in central cities, 60.2 percent were in the labor force in 1997 and 12.5 percent of those in the labor force were unemployed. This compared with a 73.3 percent and 7.6 percent, respectively, among blacks living in the suburbs.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey. Additional information is available from "Issues in Labor Statistics: Labor-market Outcomes for City Dwellers and Suburbanites".
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Suburbanites enjoy better labor market outcomes on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/1998/dec/wk2/art05.htm (visited June 24, 2016).

I seem to have lost the router password to my wndr3700 and I need to add a new portforward to my already large list, thing is, I know I can do a factory reset, but that will also lose all of my portfowards and other settings. Is there some way of resetting just the password, or saving the settings so that I can restore them after the reset?
The official Netgear answer is :
If you have ever taken a backup of your router's configuration, you can use it to recover the password using the Nirsoft RouterPassView :
More than likely not possible (at least, easily) since the router doesn't have a way of connecting that wouldn't require you to authenticate. Without physically taking the devices non-volatile storage out and reading it, I don't think this is possible.
I know it's repeated a lot, but it's essential -- keep good, regular backups of both your data and hardware settings for devices with complex setups.

This time two years ago we launched our first ever Design Showcase, with the intention of giving a bunch of independent designers a really good soapbox from which to pitch their work. For the lucky finalists, we also wanted to give them even more exposure and see if we could help to boost their careers to a whole new level. Guess what? It worked. In the past 24 months, our winners have had tremendous runs, getting picked up by major newspapers and magazines and watching their businesses skyrocket. So, it's time to do it again.

"Broadway State of Mind"
I recently saw the Broadway show "Jerusalem" at The Music Box theatre, and was blown away by Mark Rylance's seismic performance as its main character, Johnny 'Rooster' Byron. The show is loosely based on William Blake's 1804 hymn "Jerusalem"; a celebration of English pastoral living at a time when much of the country was consumed by the Industrial Revolution. But for me, Mark's performance is what the play was all about.
"A three-hour epic, "Jerusalem" begins with a fairy singing the lovely poem set to music by Sir Hubert Parry, which is shattered by rock music blaring from the speakers atop Rooster's home. From there we're off on a harrowing but frequently hilarious ride, staged with compulsive energy by Ian Rickson in a setting by Ultz that combines nature in bloom and humanity in wreckage, lit with dappling realism by Mimi Jordan Sherin. We know it will not end well. It's to Butterworth's credit that we are left so conflicted by this meeting with a force of nature, in the best play of the season."–from the Bloomberg.com review of "Jerusalem".
I also had the chance to see the show "Born Yesterday", a show I wasn't too excited about before accepting the invite to attend. Before the show began, I reluctantly asked the man sitting next to me if he knew about the actress Nina Arianda, who plays the lead, Billy Dawn. He said he saw her in 'Venus in Furs' and that she will be a big star. After seeing her in 'Born Yesterday' — wow! — she is incredible! Nina inhabits the character, and I agree that she'll make it big.
"With her luscious pout and sweep of peroxide curls Ms. Arianda banishes Holliday's pop-eyed, chirpy naïveté to evoke the surly molls of 1930s gangster flicks. Her Billie Dawn, streetwise and complacent in her illiteracy, is like a cross between Jean Harlow at her tough-blondest and the pop singer Cyndi Lauper, with her Queens-bred rasp."– on Nina Arianda, from the New York Times review of "Born Yesterday".
I went to the last performance of "High" to see Kathleen Turner. Seeing Ms. Turner as a reformed alcoholic nun was familiar enough; but looking at Evan Jonigkeit naked — for me, that was the high point of the play! I think that says it all.
"And when it is channeled through Ms. Turner's sandpapery basso, sarcasm has a ferocious comic bite that makes the early innings of Mr. Lombardo's improbable drama about faith, recovery and redemption crackle with lively humor. Biting into Sister Jamie's mordant verbal assaults on a recalcitrant drug addict, all but smacking her lips like a gourmet savoring al dente pasta, Ms. Turner makes a feast of largely unexceptional dialogue."-from the New York Times review
Last Thursday was the first time I saw the legendary Joey Arias's cabaret performance at Town Hall. An Italian friend introduced us about a year ago, and she went on about his artistry. He is mesmerizing — not just as a jazz singer in drag — but as a musician and performer whose intensity transcends and crosses overall boundaries and limitations. Joey, you have another fan! I loved him!
"A fixture of New York City's vibrant downtown performance scene for 30-plus years, Joey Arias is a bona fide NYC icon. From his early days at Fiorrucci and performing with his close friend Klaus Nomi, Arias has been an enigmatic figure. From outrageous performances at Club 57, Jackie 60 and Squeezebox to the now-legendary nights at Bar d'O where he held court with Raven-O and Sherry Vine, Arias distinguished himself with scandalous wit, sleek style and an extraordinary voice evocative of Lady Day yet uniquely his own. This debut at the famed venue will surely be an unforgettable evening of music, humor and a little bit of scandal – just what audiences have come to expect from the unique experience of an Arias' performance."–from Best Gay New York's review of Joey's show
The photographer Katy Grannan's work is appearing at Salon 94. I love Katy's previous work, and her new exhibit doesn't disappoint. But take a happy pill before you go — this show is raw, filled with people ravaged physically, emotionally and psychologically; their dreams left unfulfilled. But it's an important show, so go see it. This exhibit brings it home.
"Salon 94 is pleased to present The Happy Ever After, a two-part solo exhibition of new work by Katy Grannan. The Believers, Grannan's first video work, features women whom Grannan has photographed and filmed for several years. Her subjects are street performers, celebrity impersonators, and mercurial pretenders who occupy the dreamscape of the American West: Hollywood, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. [...] Boulevard is a collection of color photographs made while Grannan roamed the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco between 2008 and 2010. Grannan's subjects are most often people whom others pass by without notice, anonymous yet extraordinary individuals who are transformed by photography's peculiar magic. The series is her version of street photography, a kind of public theater enacted on the sidewalks of West Hollywood and San Francisco. [...] Together, The Believers and Boulevard present new Western mythologies inhabited by people who celebrate delusion as a means of self-preservation, contradiction as truth, and glitter and sweat as residue of optimism and perseverance."–from Salon 94′s press release
Kara Walker's "Fall Frum Grace" at the Lehmann Maupin Gallery on Chrystie Street is poignant and violent — and hits you in your gut. I watched it twice.
"Fall Frum Grace, Miss Pipi's Blue Tale is a shadow puppet narrative, which follows the travails of the heroine, Miss Pipi, intercut with shadow puppet "abstracts" of a surreal and violent nature. The subtext of the video is the mythology surrounding white Southern womanhood, historically cited time and time again as an entity to be protected from sexuality, in particular from the presumed hyper-sexuality of black men. Although fiction, this was the excuse for the murder of countless black men and boys in Jim Crow America. Miss Pipi's Blue Tale is meant to be as deeply contradictory a visual tale as the Blues is in music. Delta Blues often merges broad comedy with despair, sensuality with loss and do-it-yourself urgency with structured improvisation."–from Lehmann Mauphin's press release
Next stop was the Hendershot Gallery to see "Keep Out You Thieving Bastards". The concept was interesting, though the show was uneven. I liked Alec Soth, and Chris Larson's series "Deep North".
"Keep Out You Thieving Bastards, an exhibition inspired by a Minnesota artist and gallery owner during our interminable Minnesota-style winter, brings together a whole range of artists who were born, bred, or spent significant time in the heartland [...]. Their works and media expose a connection to Minnesota's sadly beautiful landscape, the underbelly of "Minnesota Nice" , life in the margins, coming of age with punk music, and reflections on what many have come to believe to be the most abnormally normal place on Earth."–from Hendershot Gallery's press release.

29 Unique Gardening Blogs
From Dean Dowd on June 11, 2008 in Landscaping
There are so many good gardening blogs out there, written by people with sincere passion and respect for the endeavor, a strong, inspiring outlook, and genuinely helpful advice. That said, this list is by NO means comprehensive. Nevertheless, if youre an experienced gardener but an inexperienced blogger, or an inexperienced gardener and experienced blogger, or another variation thereof, this list is a good place to start networking with like-minded folks or simply to get some ripe ideas for your own blooming plot. A good way to expand your reading from here? Pick your favorites and check out who THEYRE reading. Because gardens obtain their personalities based on where theyre located, the same usually goes for the blogs dedicated to them. Many garden blogs distinguish themselves by region and get clumped together in the same manner. Ive attempted to group the ones below according to a unique perspective or approach to the topic of gardening.
Green gardening
Seems like gardening and green would go hand in hand, but unfortunately, this just isnt the case. Landscapes, like every part of the home, can be designed for a gentler footprint. The Sustainable Gardening Blog is still about how to garden, but Gardening Coach Susan Harris approaches it in a way that contributes positively to the health of people and the environment. Andrea Bellamys Heavy Petal is also about organic gardening, but from an urban perspective. The Canada-based activist and garden writer posts about guerrilla gardening, for instance, and cultivating neglected, orphaned land. Blooms and Bees reminds readers to do things like keep a little water out for birds and bees during hot summer months in drought-infested regions. The Garden Wise Guy really is wise, helping to make sustainable landscapes a feasible reality, while actual local farmers are out there doing their thing and writing about it on blogs such as CSA Days. One Straw, however, about backyard farming, is written by a corporate worker who sees local food production as the paradigm for change.
For gardens of every kind
Just because you dont have a sprawling backyard doesnt mean you dont love plants! For apartment, condo, or loft dwellers with a green thumb, the Balcony Garden may be the blog for you. Sue Swift dedicates a container plant to each day, experimenting with balcony kitchen gardens and other such goodies from her Milan, Italy perch. The Home Garden is inspiration to all of you who treasure and tinker with your residential landscape, while Wild Floras Wild Gardening helps keep us mindful of birds, bugs, bees, and other critters trying to get along. We cant forget that plants grow just as well indoors as they do out, and the Indoor Gardener will doubtless have advice for you in this arena.
There are lots of garden blogs that revolve around a specific plant type, such as Arboreality on trees, Aloe Garden Wilderness on, you guessed it, aloe cultivation, and Cactus Blog on cacti and succulents. And like I said above, regions are key to garden types, from desert gardening highlighted on Water When Dry to Cold Climate Gardening, featuring hardy plants that grow in one New York garden. To find a blog based in your region, check out Sustainable Gardens blog roll, organized by location.
Gardeners growing food
We all know that buying food locally makes more sense on multiple levels, from supporting community farmers to getting better food that doesnt need to be shipped via a fossil fuel-run vehicle. And you cant get more local than your own backyard! In My Kitchen Garden blogger Farmgirl Susan knows this. My Tiny Plot based in England is also about vegetable gardening and cooking your delicious homegrown veggies. Kitchen Gardeners International is dedicated to gardening and growing, for foodies.
Interesting gardeners
They arent hard to find. Most people who appreciate a little dirt and know how to make it productive and why are well worth having a conversation with. What would you ask the Plant Hunter, for instance? He travels the world for a living, in search of rare plants. Then he writes about it in his blog and elsewhere. Gardening and Yardening is posted by a couple, one the gardener, the other the yardener, both who have columns about their respective specialty. Not every gardener out there is an expert, though, and it can be refreshing to relate to someone like the self-proclaimed novice gardener of Adventures in My Urban Garden. Perhaps the best thing about these blogs is theyre written by regular people, many with regular jobs, but who take the time to make gardening and writing about it a lifestyle because it matters. Take Robin of Bumblebee Blog, for instance, or Gardening While Intoxicateds Elizabeth Licata. If youre looking for gardening news, theres a resource that reposts garden articles from great sites around the web. Its called Garden Voices.
Staff picks
Then again, dont take my word for it! Here are more favorite gardening and landscaping blogs nominated by members of the CalFinder staff:
The Royal Horticultural Societys My Garden
Bare Bones Gardening
Kate smudges in earth, paint and life
Garden Guides
Whew! Thanks for hanging in there with a long post. I hope it was a helpful starting point. If you dont see your absolute favorite blog on the list, please send in a comment!

When shopping for vitamin/mineral supplements, beware of what you can find inside. According to a news article from CBS Detroit on August 22, 2014, four Meijer supermarkets in Kalamzoo County, Michigan, found bottles of Mega Red Ultra Strength Omega-3 Krill Oil filled with anything but the vitamin itself. Four stores sold bottles that contained chocolate chips, cat food, nuts, and some with dangerous prescription drugs. Inside some bottles were prescription medications including Coumadin that is an anticoagulant, Sotalol used for cardiac problems, and 800 mg tablets of Ibuprofen, an anti-inflammatory medication.
According to the police department the suspect obtained and returned bottles to the shelves -- some in their regular labeled bottles, others were non-labeled prescription bottles, and a few were painted black. These were placed back on the shelves where the Krill Oil used to be. So, far the tainted bottles were found in four Meijer stores, but detectives are asking store owners that sell vitamins to check their supplies as well. The suspect has been identfied but no formal charges have been made.
Consumers always need to be on the alert when they purchase over-the-counter products to make sure the contents inside is the real thing. Anything that looks suspicious should be returned and brought to the attention of a manager.
So far, this incident has been contained to a few stores in Kalamazoo County, but this problem with tampering of products has been an issue nationwide in the past. Consumers need to beware-- are you really getting what you came in to buy?

Before we present the Awards just a few comments on other issues:
This Government not only has the highest paid and most useless Ministers in Australia's history, it is losing so badly it has to use censorship and softening up measures to improve it's voter profile with the very idiots, dinosaurs, and nut jobs it has been attacking. Well changing laws to give you access to our Facebook account etc won't stop us, and calling us names only shows how pathetic you have become.
Larry Pickerings website has been taken down for the umpteenth time because you don't like his stories and don't appreciate his captions. I must admit I enjoy the cartoons by Pickering, although I can see at times they go a little bit too far, trouble is Ms Gillard a LOT of the time YOU go to far also, yet we can't get you suspended otherwise Australia would be a better place.
I regard this as an extremely sexist attack on Mt Pickering by your cronies Ms Gillard.
I have done some research with Private organisations that deal with Government often and a comment that stands out and I have found most interesting is since 2008 the Federal Government is no longer as transparent as it used to be and much harder to deal with as a result. The people attending meetings can't tell me any thing about the meeting as you have them sign a convoluted secrecy agreement. THIS is still the peoples Parliament Ms Gillard and we insist this practice stops, we are entitled to know what you talk about and not just from your releases.
On top of this I still have a 'wasp in the bonnet' in regard to the horrendous pay rises you gave yourselves, and if Ms Gillard can't remember I will remind her, it is the ones where you now get paid for dictating to the people of Australia.
Therefore I have great pleasure in Presenting the:
TEA Awards
"Total liar award" goes to our PM Julia Gillard who now earns gets $495,000
"The world's best bookkeeper (given for BOTH sets of books)"award is with Wayne Swan getting $390,627 as the Deputy Prime Minister. If you were a Treasurer, you would have received = $352,517
"The best plagiarised speech award" goes to the Leader of the House Albanese who gets $333,462 pa.
"The never mind the cost, look at the classic old shed we built award for the BER" goes to Leader of The Government in the Senate Chris Evans who only gets $352,517pa
Cabinet Ministers all receive $328,698
"The worst Cost Blow out award" must go to the hard lurking Stephen Conroy for the white elephant they call the NBN,

MetroPCS intros new Huawei Premia 4G (M931) affordable Android smartphone
MetroPCS has expanded its line-up of cheap 4G LTE handsets with the addition of a new device made by Huawei. Called Premia 4G (model number M931), the handset sadly runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich – but at least you have to pay only $149.99 to get it (no contract required).
The Premia 4G features a 4 inch display with 800 x 480 pixels and Corning Gorilla Glass, Wi-Fi, DLNA, GPS, Bluetooth, Rhapsody Music Unlimited (costs $5 per month), 1.3MP front-facing camera, 5MP rear camera with LED flash and 720p video recording, dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and MicroSD card support.
The new handset is available starting today in MetroPCS stores, as well as online here.
The Premia 4G is MetroPCS' second LTE-capable Huawei smartphone, after the Activa 4G that was launched last summer (this is no longer available for purchase).
At the moment, MetroPCS is selling a total of 11 LTE smartphones – including the high-end Samsung Galaxy S III, which is the most expensive of them, costing $499.99.

Three Things: Miami Dolphins could regret cutting Yeremiah Bell
Three Things to consider on this sports Tuesday:
Thing 1: Cutting a team leader like Yeremiah Bell is a highly questionable decision, one the Miami Dolphins could come to regret should new defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle's unit fail to match the success of the one predecessor Mike Nolan ran.
True, Bell recently turned 34 and his coverage skills had started to slip in recent years, but the co-captain and career-long Dolphin could always be counted on to get the young secondary lined up properly. Bell's emotional fire was a huge factor in those defensive huddles, especially with the game on the line, and his work ethic and preparation were great examples for the rest of the league's sixth-ranked scoring defense.
Bell, whose release will create $4.35 million in salary cap room, also led the team in tackles the past four seasons (averaging 110 per season) and ranks as the franchise leader in sacks by a defensive back.
Talented young Reshad Jones will probably move over from free safety to take Bell's spot, a move we all saw coming at some point. Just not this soon.
Thing 2: David Garrard, meanwhile, is an interesting addition as competition for Matt Moore.
Garrard, if healthy, would seem to have the accuracy and footwork to run the West Coast offense. But after sitting out last season following surgery to repair a bulging disc in his back, that health issue is a big question.
It's not Garrard's fault, but after tempting the fan base with Peyton Manning, Matt Flynn and Alex Smith, the sense of letdown cannot be ignored.
Thing 3: Speaking of temptations, my blog poll on whether the Dolphins should trade for Tim Tebow continues, and the results are remarkably balanced.
With 2,635 votes counted, the anti-Tebow contingent holds a five-vote lead (1,306 to 1,301) over the pro-Tebow group.
The strong-yes crowd (34.2 percent) is only slightly ahead of the "Are you crazy?" crowd (33.1 percent), while the more restrained yes (15.2) and no (16.4) groups are fairly in line as well.
Bottom line, there is great division among Dolfans over whether to take a flier on a third-year quarterback who has gone 9-7 as an NFL starter. That includes one more playoff victory than any Dolphins quarterback has produced in the past 11 seasons, and even that came in the sixth and final loss of Jim Mora's historically bad playoff coaching career (0-6).
How long ago was that? Manning was still looking for his first playoff win after three years as an NFL quarterback.

Hey, good to see you 336A!
I didn't shoot the loads for accuracy but the 158 grain and 200 grain bullets were all striking swinging disc target I had set up at 25 yards. I was using the center 5 1/2-inch disc as an aiming reference and shooting from a rest.
I'm sure that some of the lighter bullets went beneath the disc but they weren't far off. I could aim at the bottom of the iron stem holding the disc and strike the disc with the lightweights.
I have to be careful with my ancient chronograph and its components. Having an aiming point avoids bullet damage from a low shot. Oehler hasn't built the Model 12 in years and replacement parts are sure to be non-existent. I ordered extra "sky screens" once after I shot one screen with a .22 short of all things and a friend, who had borrowed the chronograph, shot one with a .45 ACP. I still have 3 screens. When they are gone that's all for the chronograph and I'd have to get another.
The 200 grain .38 Special load will flip a disc over twice on my target stand. Only one other experimental load using 158 grain bullets and a heavy charge of powder will cause the discs to flip twice. Regular +P 158 grain ammunition will cause the discs to flip once.
The only 9mm load that will cause the discs to flip completely over one time is the 147 grain Ranger (old Black Talon) load. All other 9mm loads will only start the discs to swinging. This really doesn't prove anything regarding relative effectiveness of handgun cartridges but is interesting.
The .45 ACP will cause the discs to pinwheel merrily.

Principal Investigator: Rachel Rosen, MD, MPH
Department: Gastroenterology
Protocol Status: Open for recruitment
Trial Description: Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) or "heart burn" can cause inflammation to the esophagus (food pipe) as well as the airway (trachea and larynx) and can be responsible for asthma, cough or noisy breathy (stridor) in many patients with respiratory disease. Very little is known about the differences in reflux patterns between children with different respiratory diseases. We are conducting a study to examine the relationship between nonacid reflux and respiratory disease in children, specifically how common and severe GER is in children with respiratory disease and furthermore to see if there is a relationship between the amount of reflux and the severity of respiratory disease over time, with the ultimate goal of discovering how we can better treat these conditions. For this study we ask for permission to (1) anonymously review the results of the studies that the patient is undergoing as part of their clinical evaluation, (2) to give patients a short questionnaire on reflux symptoms and (3) to analyze a small sample of the patient's saliva collected during the bronchoscopy for signs of reflux damage.
Study Procedures: During the procedure gastric fluid and bronch fluid are collected and a throat swab is performed. This is to analyze for markers of reflux damage as well as to compare the different flora from these regions. If a patient is having a laryngoscopy then a video of the patient's airway is taken to check for reflux damage. If a patient is undergoing a pH-MII then these results are reviewed and the patient may be offered a simultaneous cough catheter that allows the association between cough and reflux events. Furthermore, the patient and/or parent is asked to fill out questionnaires. A parking voucher is distributed for participation in this study.
Recruitment Info: Children between the ages of 1 and 18 years with no prior surgery on their gastrointestinal tract who have had recurrent cough, stridor, or wheezing. Furthermore, these patients are eligible if their otolaryngologist, gastroenterologist or pulmonologist suspects that they may have reflux-related respiratory disease and they have already arranged for them to have an exam of the airway (laryngoscopy and/or bronchoscopy) and a gastrointestinal evaluation which includes an exam of the esophagus (endoscopy) and possibly an impedance-pH probe.

|I Was Arrested and Have to Go to Court
Last updated: September 2015
If you have been arrested and have to go to court because of the arrest, you have a criminal case. Below is helpful information about the criminal process.
There are a few ways to get assistance with your case:
Public Defenders are lawyers who are employed by the government to provide free legal representation for clients who cannot afford a lawyer. You can only get a public defender if you are the defendant in a criminal case; free lawyers are not provided by the government in civil cases.
For more information, see Frequently Asked Questions on Public Defenders.
To be "charged" with a crime is to be formally accused of a crime. Once you have been charged, you will have court dates to attend. Being charged does not mean that you have been convicted, or that you will be convicted, although a conviction is one possible outcome of a criminal case.
A criminal case can have many different results, for example:
The first thing that will happen after you are arrested and accused of a crime is that your bond will be set. Sometimes the bond is set by a judge at a court hearing. This is called bond court. For some crimes, the bond amount is already decided and you can be released from the police station and given a court date by a police officer.
If you can pay the bond amount, or are given a non-cash bond (such as an I-Bond), you will be set free on bond until your next court date. If you cannot pay the bond amount, or if bond is denied, you will be held in the county jail until the next court date.
The next court date is usually the Preliminary Hearing, where the judge will determine if there is enough evidence against you to have a trial.
Instead of a Preliminary Hearing, sometimes a Grand Jury hearing is held. A Grand Jury is a group of people, just like a trial jury. They decide whether to issue an indictment (formal charge) against you. A Grand Jury proceeding is secret, meaning neither you nor your lawyer is allowed to be in the courtroom while it is taking place. You will find out afterwards if a trial will take place.
Under Illinois law, either a Preliminary Hearing or a Grand Jury generally must take place within 30 days of your arrest, if you are being held at a county jail, or 60 days if you are out on bond. The only exceptions are when a defendant creates the delay or there are issues involving the defendant's competency.
Following either of these hearings is an arraignment, where the charges against you will be read out loud and you will have the opportunity to "plead", or officially state that you are either guilty or not guilty. The judge will also ask if you can afford an attorney if one is not with you in court. A Public Defender may be appointed if you qualify. The State's Attorney may also give your attorney discovery (such as police reports) at the arraignment. Your lawyer is there to help you in your criminal case, but it is your decision whether you plead guilty or not guilty.
Finally, if you have decided to plead not guilty and go to trial, your trial will begin. You can decide whether you want a jury trial or a trial only before a judge. During the trial, both sides will have the opportunity to subpoena witnesses to testify and present evidence to the judge or the jury. You will also have the opportunity to testify on your own behalf. You do not have to testify. Your attorney will advise you what the best choice is in your particular situation. However, in the end this is your decision as well.
Yes. This is called a plea bargain. Your attorney will speak to the state's attorney and the judge about getting a favorable disposition of your case without trial. The decision to accept a plea offer is entirely up to you.
You have a right to counsel of your choice. You can hire any attorney you like and you can change that attorney by replacing him/her with another attorney with the judge's permission.
NOTE: The right to choose or change your attorney does not extend to a free or appointed attorney. For example, you may not pick or choose the Public Defender you want.
A defendant has a right to fair and impartial trial. You have a right to change or substitute a judge if you think you will not get a fair trial or that the judge is prejudiced against you. Within 10 days of a case being assigned to a judge, you may change that judge with no questions asked or reasons given. After 10 days, you must give a reason for the change.
A warrant may be issued for your arrest if you missed your court date or appearance. If you miss your first court date, immediately contact the Public Defender's Office in your county and ask for assistance. If you have missed any court date after your first court date, you should contact your private lawyer or public defender right away.
Court dates are very important. The only reason you should miss court is because of an emergency. If you know in advance that you cannot make court on a certain date, contact your public defender or private lawyer. If you do not have a private attorney and a public defender has not been appointed yet, immediately contact the Public Defender's Office in your county and ask for help.
Bond is the amount of money you pay to guarantee that you will show up to court for your case. It serves as a sort of deposit that allows you to carry on with your life (with some restrictions) until your case is heard by a judge.
Specific requirements must be met if you are given bond:
In certain cases, you may be required to:
The court can also require that you do additional things. If you violate your bond by breaking any of these rules, you will be returned to jail.
Bond court is the court hearing where a judge decides on your bail amount. In Illinois, anyone accused of a felony goes to bond court. People who are accused of some misdemeanors or who have other issues, such as an outstanding warrant, are also sent to bond court.
For most crimes, there is no pre-set bond amount. Judges can consider many factors when deciding on this amount including:
An "I-Bond", short for "Individual Bond," is a personal recognizance bond. This means that you are released when you sign a statement saying you will come to court, without paying any actual money.
Yes, bond can be reconsidered. However, as with the original determination of bond, a judge must set the new bond amount.
If you obey all of the conditions of your bond, the full amount will be given back to you when your case is done. Contact your county clerk to find out the local process for refunding your bond money. However, "D-bonds" require you to pay 10% of the bail amount set by the judge to get out of jail and be "out on bond". So if the bail is $1,000, you must pay $100 to the court clerk.
A subpoena is an order, signed by a judge, that requires you to come to court on a specific date.
If you receive a subpoena to come to court, you must come to court.

2002 Toyota 4Runner body kits are exterior accessories that can be installed to upgrade and revitalize a outward look.

Some custom 2002 Toyota 4Runner body kits products include replacements for several components, air dams and side add ons. These are the places of a vehicle that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but they aren't the only pieces that can be easily replaced. Other aftermarket exterior parts can be used to upgrade a car's appearance, so 2002 Toyota 4Runner body kits can often be tailored to a driver's specific requirement. For an upgraded look that replaces the poor appearance came from years of driving, a cool body kits can serve you well.

What if you went to the doctor thinking you had a hernia… only to find out that you were pregnant and having contractions?
According to MLive, on February 8 Michigan woman Linda Ackley went to the hospital because of bloating in her abdomen, only to discover she was having a baby!
At first, doctors assumed Ackley had three to four weeks to go, but after performing a second ultrasound, it was confirmed that she was full term. The hospital immediately scheduled a C-section and delivered a healthy 10-pound, 1-ounce baby girl, Kimberly Kay Ackley.
You may be wondering how this is even possible – we were, too.
Linda and Mike Ackley, married 24 years, previously were unable to conceive and were having sex without protection.
But back in February 2011, 44-year-old Linda was diagnosed with flesh-eating bacteria in her abdomen and had to be put into a medically-induced coma. Luckily, she did not need any of her limbs amputated (as most people do in these cases); instead, she only had some of her infected stomach muscles removed.
Linda explained to the Jackson Citizen Patriot that she thought the strange feeling in her belly was simply contracting muscles and nerves due to her surgery. Likewise, Linda always had irregular periods, so she didn't think anything of it, and she apparently didn't gain any significant weight from carrying little Kimberly Kay.
"I was happy and shocked at the same time, and scared," Mike Ackley said. "I wish someone would have taken a picture of my face. Some people have nine months to prepare. I had (15) hours."

Festivus Film Festival is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting high-quality indie films to an awesome Denver audience. Beginning in 2007 as a response to an independent film vacuum in Denver. The humble, yet promising Festivus Film Festival 2008 was a first attempt to fill that vacuum. After rave reviews they decided they were onto something. After being named one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the US by Moviemaker Magazine, the 2011 fest was the biggest yet. 2012 will mark the 5-year anniversary of the festival.
Festivus began working with msgdsgn at the conceptual phase. None of us were sure where the festival would go, but we were all excited to be working on the inaugural year. I created the logo and initial website and the projects continued to grow each year. I have been involved with Festivus all five years and create programs, flyers, posters, banners, advertisements, billboards and more. If you live in the Denver area, you don't want to miss this festival. It's a great chance to see some amazing independent filmmaking that likely will not be able to see anywhere else.
