Donald Douglas referenced this story from the San José Mercury News, which had this as the money line:
"Of course, I want people to have health care," (Cindy) Vinson said. "I just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally."
A lot more at the link. The story references the winners and losers from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Yes, there are absolutely some winners, mainly people who had expensive insurance because they had chronic health problems, but there are many losers as well, people who had much more moderately priced insurance plans, who must now pay a lot more, because their insurance plans must now cover things that they didn't choose to have covered in the past, and because the insurance companies must now spread the costs of care for previously uninsurable people, whom they must now cover at no additional cost, over the mass of people who don't have such conditions.
One of the lessons liberal economists — a term which is almost an oxymoron — never seem to have learned is that nothing is free: for a person to receive something, someone must pay for it. Under the PP&ACA, the people who are getting things they didn't have before are having those things paid for by other people.

Bummer: D.C. Climate Will Hit Tipping Point In 2047
By William Teach October 10, 2013 – 11:03 am
Are you ready for yet another climate tipping point
(Washington Post) Locations around the globe will soon reach climatic tipping points, with some in tropical regions — home to most of the world's biodiversity — feeling the first impacts of unprecedented eras of elevated temperatures as soon as seven years from now, according to a study released Wednesday.
On average, locations worldwide will leave behind the climates that have existed from the middle of the 19th century through the beginning of the 21st century by 2047 if no progress is made in curbing emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases, said researchers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa who sought to project the timing of that event for 54,000 locations.
More at the link, but Mr Teach noted that we've heard these projections before, and they haven't exactly panned out.

Call The Waaaaambulance, Furloughed Federal Workers Are Bored
by Lonely Conservative • •
Somebody call a waaaaambulance! Some furloughed federal workers are bored during their paid vacation. One even "resorted" to cleaning out her own garage, the poor dear.
More at the link.
In every previous shutdown, the furloughed workers have received back pay for the days they were off. Perhaps the feds will simply count these days as the regular furlough days caused by that horrible, draconian, absolutely unlivable sequester we have somehow, miraculously, managed to survive . . . though just barely, I'm sure.

Healthcare.gov — The bad, the bad, and the ugly
Posted by Mandy Nagy Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 6:23pm
Remember, we had to pass the law to find out what was in it.
I've been covering the ongoing issues with the Obamacare website in the days since its glitch-filled launch, which you can read here, here and here. From day one, the Obama administration has spun the problems as a good thing, blaming all the site's technical misfires entirely on high traffic volume – demand that it claims was beyond its expectations.
As I've written in all of my posts on the subject, I've been highly skeptical of that claim and have provided numerous citations, as well as some of my own commentary, to support such skepticism. I ended one of those posts by writing, "While some media outlets have focused on the long wait times, very few are actually breaking down the glitches and testing the administration's claims that volume is solely to blame."
Well, that has certainly changed since I wrote it.

From Political Realities:
Liberalism vs. Conservatism – What Difference Does It Make?
By LD Jackson
There is a great divide in America. On one side, you have liberalism, voiced by a group of progressive Democrats that believe in greater government control of almost every aspect of our daily lives. On the other, there is conservatism. More and more, conservatism is being voiced by the people who lean more to the libertarian side of the political spectrum. Many of us want nothing more than to be simply left alone. We do not desire the government to be in our homes or in our lives and we see much of the federal government as an unneeded and unwanted intrusion into our personal lives. The differences between the two sides of this divide could be no greater. My question is this. To borrow the words from Hillary Clinton, what difference does it make, as long as we are all still Americans? My answer to that question may also be simple, but I would contend that it makes a great deal of difference in the direction America is going.
Liberalism vs. Conservatism: Stop and think about this for a moment. Have you ever seen a time when so many things you do are controlled by the federal government? I was talking to a gentleman yesterday about his car. He had a tire pressure monitor (TPMS) light on because the sensor itself was bad. He didn't want to spend the money to fix the problem and voiced this question. He wanted to know why the vehicles were required to have the TPMS systems. I informed him it was because of federal regulations and he wanted to know what business it was of the federal government if his car had the system or not. He went on to mention numerous items that the federal government requires, but in reality were none of their business.
The sentiment expressed by this gentleman is the same sentiment I see in action all across the area where I live and work. There is a battle going on that we may or may not be aware of. Most of us want nothing to do with the federal government. We desire to go back to the foundations laid down by the Founding Fathers. The federal government is supposed to be small and not so strong. They are supposed to be focused on national defense and other enumerated powers. Instead, we find them creeping into every aspect of our daily lives. We are told what safety systems our vehicles will have, what kind of light bulbs our houses will have, what kind of food we should eat, etc. This list could go on for a few paragraphs.
Those few more paragraphs can be found at the original. As for me, I found the illustration pretty profound, because it summarizes modern liberalism perfectly. Of course, it's all for our own good, don't you know?
Jeff Goldstein noted that one of the Framers anticipated the possibility of a government shutdown:
"James Madison Anticipates the Possibility of Government Shutdown–and Predicts that the House of Representatives Can and Should Prevail"
– Which is one reason why writers in Slate, Salon, the WaPo, the NYT, and elsewhere, have started pushing the meme that the "shutdown" is the "Constitution's fault." In fact, one writer blamed James Madison particularly, citing as a flaw what he here notes in Federalist 58:
The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but they alone can propose, the supplies requisite for the support of government. They, in a word, hold the purse that powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the people gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the government. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.
Much more at the link. But it seems that our 4th President, one much wiser than our 44th, was very much a supporter of the concept that Parliament had the power to stop the excesses of the King by denying him the revenues to act beyond their consent. It's a slightly different situation with the shutdown and the debt ceiling here, but the concept is the same.On the Victory Girls, Dejah Thoris writes about feminism.
Feminism's ultimate lie is that you have to be like man to be more like a woman. I fail to understand how this is even possible. I thought we were supposed to still be women? We have certainly made great strides in our liberation. We have control of our bodies (except Sandra Fluke, who needs the patriarchal, male dominated government to stay out of her uterus, but pay for her birth control), we hold political office (although that even leads me to believe that some women should have stayed home), we run corporations, we serve and lead in the military (but in order to be fair, evidently we are going to have to sign up for the draft and be subjected to serving in the Infantry).
But the most important thing we women do is teach our sons how to interact with the women in their lives, and what is expected of them by us. The next most important thing we do is teach the young women in our lives the importance of men in their own lives and how to expect to be treated by them.
But an ideology that hates and marginalizes men can't be reasonably expected to teach them about the importance and necessity of men, and an ideology that fails to recognize the inherent differences between men and women, despite the massive amount of evidence in this regard, is doomed to failure. In today's society, the constant marginalization of men has created a backlash, among both men and women about our roles.
More at the link.
Finally, Robert
Stacey Stacy McCain asks:
What happened to the Democrat Party? When and how did the psychological impulses of radical alienation seize control of a large segment of our society, infusing them with the anti-religious, anti-family, anti-capitalist, anti-American spirit that dominates the souls of Democrats today?
More at the link. But it wasn't so very long ago that we had a Democratic Party which represented the working man rather than the non-working welfare leech, that represented freedom and individual liberty and opposed communism, and which said that all men are created equal, and ought to be treated equally by their government, regardless of the color of their skin. It was a Democratic Party of which America could be proud. I don't know where that Democratic Party went, but it sure isn't around here anymore.
That's it for this week!

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Henry Cuellar is trying to provide stability to doctors and seniors.
According to recent press release from Cuellar's secretary, he co-sponsored H.R. 4015, which is the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act of 2014. This will replace the broken Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula with an improved payment system that rewards quality, efficiency and innovation.
While H.R. 4015 is a significant step forward in finding a permanent solution to this broken system and is legislation that Democrats and Republicans, as well as the House and the Senate, have been able to agree on, lawmakers are still struggling to find a way to pay for the legislation, which will cost $138.4 billion from 2014 to 2024, according to a Congressional Budget office estimate.
The repeal will cost $138.4 billion over 10 years and Rep. Cuellar calls on doctors to submit ideas on how to pay for it.

Despite the fact that very few make it off the drawing board to prototype stage, 'go anywhere' concept cars are an ever popular subject for budding auto designers and car lovers alike. And why not - they allow us to forget about the pesky practicalities of design and tiresome economics and imagine what could be. The latest to cross our desk - the Amphibious Hybrid concept vehicle - is a case of Bond meets the Transformers with its automatically adjusting tire design that morphs to ensure maximum grip on any given terrain including ice and water, where it becomes a kind of three wheel paddle boat. Read More
Kiwi entrepreneur Alan Gibbs, the man behind the Aquada amphibious sports car, has unveiled an SUV/4WD amphibious vehicle concept designed specifically to access remote and hostile terrain. The 5-seater 'Humdinga' concept vehicle is a full-time 4WD powered by a 350 BHP V8 engine, capable of 160 kmh on land and on water at 65 kmh. Although the new application utilises the same patented HSA technological platform as the Gibbs Aquada, it shares no common component parts or systems with its predecessor. The Gibbs Humdinga can comfortably transport 5 people complete with luggage/supplies almost anywhere on the earth. Read More

Diagnostic Delay in Musculoskeletal Tumors
A Few Words About Diagnostic Delay in Musculoskeletal Tumors
Delay in diagnosis of tumors remains a major source of concern for patients and physicians alike. Early on, the symptoms of these tumors mimic those of common sprains, strains, bumps and bruises. Tumors can be misdiagnosed, missed, or mistreated for weeks, months, and even years.
The causes of diagnostic delay are many. The early symptoms may be vague and misleading. Initial radiographs may be normal or the findings may be so subtle that they escape detection. Sometimes the caregiver takes a sketchy medical history or performs an incomplete physical examination, and as a result the whole course of treatment is set off in the wrong direction.
Lack of suspicion on the part of the caregiver, inappropriate reassurances that the symptoms are not worthy of real concern, and lack of adequate imaging studies are common reasons for delay. Sometimes there were "red flag" symptoms or findings that should have been heeded. At the core of the problem, many caregivers lack experience and training in these problems and therefore fail to consider a sarcoma in the differential diagnosis.
Delay in diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors and cancer is not something that necessarily happens to poor physicians performing low-quality care. It also happens to intelligent, well-trained, caring, compassionate physicians who become trapped by the many pitfalls that lie in the path to a correct diagnosis. Patients too can contribute to delay. Some individuals fail to seek out medical care in the face of a problem because of their fear of bad news, or because they may feel that nothing good can come of the treatment process.
Delay in diagnosis of cancer can happen to children as well as senior citizens, to men and to women, to persons with primary bone or soft tissue cancers as well as to persons who have a musculoskeletal manifestation of a cancer that started elsewhere in the body, such as the breast or the lung.
The important thing is to begin the correct treatment immediately once the real diagnosis is discovered. It is important to focus on the good that can be done in the present and in the future rather than the bad that has occurred in the past. A delay in diagnosis does not mean that the tumor cannot be fully treated and cured. Issues related to the delay can be worked out later once the treatment in on track.
Once the treatment is underway, it may be appropriate to go back and examine the course of events. The degree to which the delay may have contributed to the problems of treating the tumor can be assessed and quantified.
The author of this site has a great deal of experience in evaluating and managing diagnostic delay where it relates to tumors of the musculoskeletal system. Please contact the author if you require assistance with these issues.

The current issue of reducing gun violence in America has cleaved into two basic premises: that there is a problem of violence, and that there is a problem of technology. Both of these are rich areas of discussion, but in this post I'm going to focus on the role of violence in America.
One of the strangest parts of the Sandy Hook massacre was its growing familiarity. Details were new and horrific – reading the names of 20 tiny children brought President Obama close to tears, and many who saw his speech besides – but the lone gunman killing helpless targets en masse, not for specific reasons but rather out of spite, rage, entitlement or power seems to be a cultural pattern and already stories have followed that confirm that. Yet in looking to history it's hard to think anything has changed about humanity—the opening of Foucault's Discipline and Punish, for instance, famously describes a man being torn apart by horses. The notion that violence could be specific to the modern American landscape seems laughable to anyone who's dipped into the archives at all.
So can the enormous disparity of gun deaths be attributed directly to which deadly technologies are available to the consumer in the United States? Before going into this question too far, we have to consider why there would be such an interest in those technologies among a population to begin with, and while there are a number of potential arguments, one of them is certainly aesthetic. This returns us to the question of the American relationship to violence. The issue here is that danger, excitement, risk and power are symbolized by weapons, and associated with an ideal of freedom. In other words, violence of a certain kind is associated with the aesthetic of freedom.
Quentin Tarantino got a little upset the other day at being asked whether he thought the violence in his movies was socially destructive. His reaction is understandable given how often he has been asked to explain himself, although it's too bad he wasn't willing to have the discussion about Django Unchained in particular, as the movie is an interesting reflection on the American psyche. The line that sums it up is delivered during a tense moment: "He's just not as used to Americans," Django says, referring to his German friend's discomfort at a brutal scene. Given that Tarantino just made a movie that was explicit about German brutality it's clear this is not a simple claim that America is full of worse people than other parts of the world. But there is something worth thinking about in this quote.
In general, Tarantino's movies depict a hero within a corrupt world of some kind, and shows the complications of belonging to a moral subculture (accentuated by connecting the characters to the broad popular culture otherwise—like jewel thieves talking about Madonna or hit men discussing burgers). In Django Unchained, the corrupt world is America. Actually, it's a hybrid of two Americas, the antebellum South and the Wild West—and each of these plays an important role in the larger concept of America.
Both the South and the Wild West have been romanticized in American cultural history. Looked at from the perspective of the powerless, there is very little to find charming about the South, and in Django Unchained Tarantino puts on display torture methods and practices commonly brushed under the carpet in other depictions—things like neck irons, hot boxes, angry dogs and brandings.
The constant, oppressive violence of the South is systemic, and it can be seen as based on the acceptance of the economy that perpetuates it. Human usury is woven into the market and so into the culture, and post-hoc defenses are easily created and believed by those in charge. Slaves have the choice of seeking a relative level of comfort within the system or risking torture and death, and are labeled by their oppressors as naturally incapable of self-determination when they choose the more prudent if less admirable route. The system does not provide a method by which to change the system.
The Wild West, however, is a storybook form of America—the individual cowboy who can bring about justice on his own. The violence that occurs here is understood differently, as it is not the result of an oppressive system, but of an individual taking a stand. Tarantino divides the two types of violence clearly in the way that they're presented, and there is a gloss of fantasy over the actions of the cowboys. Nonetheless the complications peek through.
There is a scene in Django Unchained when the surviving plantation owners are returning from a funeral, thinking Django is on his way to a punitive fate, and we see them entering in their finery to a home whose walls are literally stained with blood. It's humorous somehow, and visually evocative, but it is also deeply tragic and metaphorically apt. Even if we root for Django to bring chaos to the lives of hateful masters, the impotence of this devastation is ultimately evident. The violence of the Wild West is optimistic whereas the Southern violence is repressive, and Tarantino's presentation of a cowboy as a counterpoint to a slave-master is perfectly intuitive. But revenge is not as simple as some (perhaps even the director, at times) imagine it to be: although the violence is cathartic and exciting, it still brings baggage with it, and the emotional weight of causing death and destruction doesn't result in a clean slate. The Wild West violence may be a positive when compared with the authoritarian, systemic violence it is reacting to, but in a larger sense it is hardly more than a further part of the structure, the other and more risky option initially provided (quietly enforce a corrupted system, or become a corrupted individual in response to it.) The movie is not just a revenge fantasy; it's an epic tragedy.
Freedom in its deeper sense comes with its own burdens. Sartre addressed this on an individual level through the idea of personal anguish, claiming that once you truly understand what it is to make a choice, you recognize the weight you bear. Victor Frankl put it in broader social terms, and suggested that a "Statue of Responsibility" should be built on America's West Coast to balance the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast. In Man's Search for Meaning he wrote "Freedom is but the negative aspect of the whole phenomenon whose positive aspect is responsibility. In fact, freedom is in danger of degenerating into mere arbitrariness unless it is lived in terms of responsibility."

I noticed on the July board that they have already picked GO's.
It seems kind of fast, and I was just wondering what the standard is as far as picking GO's. I asked one of the community mangers and they said it is up to the Group at large.
So what do you guys think? Should we all wait until there are more BFP's floating around? Or the end of the year? ...It's up to you guys because GO's are voted in...so what do ya think?

A chase from Vancouver into Portland for suspected robbers in a stolen car led to the arrest of two men at Northeast 148th Avenue and Halsey Street on Sunday morning.
Sgt. Scott Creager of the Vancouver Police Department said at 7:45 a.m. a robber wearing a bandanna held up the Subway at 1125 S.E. 163rd Ave. A press release said the suspect implied he had a gun and fled with money from the till and a bag of Sun Chips.
Seven minutes later, a robbery was reported at the Chevron station at 16406 S.E. 26th St. The cashier was able to get the make of the vehicle and a license plate number.
A Vancouver police officer saw the car and followed it westbound on Mill Plain Boulevard at 155th Avenue. The suspect drove southbound on Interstate 205 into Portland.
The Portland Police Bureau then joined the pursuit.
Officers chased the suspected vehicle until it left the road and was disabled at 148th and Halsey.
Portland police then arrested the suspects, Eric Robert Leonard, 27, of Ridgefield and Jerry Lee Venters, 21, of Vancouver. They were booked into the Multnomah County Jail.
Venters was arrested on suspicion of attempting to elude, criminal mischief, possession of a stolen vehicle, reckless driving, unlawful possession of a firearm, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and a first-degree robbery warrant from
Clark County. No bail was allowed.
Leonard was arrested on suspicion of a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen vehicle, unlawful possession of a firearm and a Clark County warrant for possession of a stolen vehicle. Bail also was not allowed.
KATU-TV reported that investigators discovered the car was stolen from a J.C. Penney parking lot. The owner of the vehicle, who was shopping, didn't know what had happened until police contacted her.

Runkachunks, your voicework is terrible.
nice robot name isn't that megaman voice is from sanity not included
So how do i start this off, first ill start by saying you do have some nice submission and some nice visuals all around and i really got a kick out of this whole piece, so nice effort there, And there was alot in this wich i really liked lol ok so these episodes are growing on me, they are pretty entertaining, but as i have said before they are kinda short and since you have alot of them maybe putting a bunch of them in one flash entry would sufice better, and allow for more quality, or even just making one big long one. but it was longer then normal so that was good, i did enjoy this it was amusinga nd entertaining, the "VOICES" were pretty solid, and the "ANIMATION" was pretty good, and i got some laughs from this, anyways nice job. Ok so with all that said, it was pretty impressive, and some things could be better or adjusted but mostly this was not a bad piece at all, and would like to see this excell to higher popularity then it already it is.
OK so i may have found a few more improvments that this submission could do with, just takes some more effort and you being open minded about some advice and ideas that i may pst up here soon, but atleast give them a good thought or two. This doesnt really need much to it it was pretty solid, i wouldnt mind seeing more differant characters and differant elements and so on.

Want to get
a big return on your home-improvement investment?
outside, not inside.
While studies show that you'll
only recoup 80 to 90 cents on every dollar you spend to upgrade your kitchen or
bath, professional landscape designers estimate that improvements to your lawn
and garden can boost your home's value by 7 percent to 15 percent. Those findings
have been confirmed by survey results from the Gallup Organization and the National
Gardening Association, or NGA.
and garden equity is all the rage these days as homeowners continue to invest
heavily in their property values. The NGA says U.S. homeowners spent a $36.8 billion
on their lawns and gardens in 2004, $11.4 billion of that on landscaping.
Dorcas Helfant, general managing partner of Coldwell Banker Professional
Realtors, in Virginia Beach, Va., and the first female president of the National
Association of Realtors, says her fellow baby boomers have a far different aesthetic
than their parents.
"Our parents were not as particular.
In the '50s, you had this era of bomb shelters and fear, and the homes we grew
up in had these high windows where you couldn't see in or out of them," she
says. "Today we don't live like that. We want broad, open expanses and windows
that look out on gardens and ponds. We're not willing to live as prisoners in
a house."
The boomers also are embracing the environmentalism
of their youth, according to Linda Engstrom, a landscape designer and owner of
Garden Aesthetics
in Portland, Ore.
"Some of the Chinese principles such
as feng shui are coming into play more. As designers, we encourage doing away
with your lawn in favor of more ecological plantings. Americans hate to give up
their lawns, but it really is something that is not earth-friendly at this point,"
she says.
Homeowners are finding, however, that creating interest
and harmony on the outside is far trickier than making upgrades to the inside.
The sheer variety of trees (evergreen and deciduous), flowering plants (annual
or perennial), and the walls, paths, benches, arbors and pergolas that landscapers
call "hardscape" can create a dizzying array of choices and potential
Yes, you can get some creative ideas from popular
HGTV shows such as "Curb Appeal" and "Landscaper's Challenge,"
but flash and dash from someone else's plan won't necessarily work to your home's
"There are a few people out there in the world
who have an intuitive sense of how things should be put together, and everyone
else doesn't," says Martin Maca, professor of landscape design at South Dakota
State University in Brookings. "If you barge ahead on your own, you can make
some horrendous mistakes and create some maintenance problems down the road that
could have been avoided if you'd hired a designer."
look at your home's landscaping with a designer's eye. There are trends out there
that may help you paint your garden masterpiece.
of style Wherever you live, proper landscaping can enhance both your
enjoyment of your home and its ultimate resale value. The first thing you probably
noticed about your home was its curb appeal. Even though your home's appearance
from the street is only part of creating the perfect outdoor environment, first
impressions are often lasting ones for buyers.

We are using Zend Framework and in version 2, php 5.2 will be the minimum requirement. We love CentOS and we'd like to keep using it, but PHP 5.1 just won't do anymore when developing web applications with Zend framework.
I found several links to solutions to upgrade with external repositories.
We'd like to see another solution with the use of an "official?" CentOS repository if any is available.
We only need to upgrade PHP, the rest of the CentOS setup is fine the way it is. For us, it's important however to keep the YUM cycle intact using the normal repositories.
So in short: is it even possible to upgrade only PHP by using an external repo or otherwise? While still upgrading all our other packages safely through normal yum usage?
Thanks for your help!

Protein Bars
Protein bar technology had remained relatively unchanged for years. Many protein bars proving to be a workout for your jaw as much as anything else. But this all changed once the TPW™ Development Team made it their mission to make Europe's first bar made from whey isolate. The Whey & Oat Crisp was born and broke all sales records in the protein bar sector. High in protein and a great source of low glycaemic index carbohydrates, thousands of cupboards all over the UK were stocked overnight on the day of the launch.
This then paved the way for the TPW™ Protein Bakery. A custom-built facility that allows us to dream up and manufacture a range of products that to date the industry could have only imagined. Protein Flapjack Luxe bars, Protein Grazers™ and Protein Nutties™ all followed and cemented our position at the very forefront of protein bar innovation and technology. Aptly named the "Willy Wonkas of Whey" on social media the TPW™ scientists say they are only just getting started.
Finally, we cannot stress the sheer potential and possibilities the TPW™ Protein Bakery represents. There is quite literally no limit to what we can, and will, produce. Therefore if you've ever had an idea for a protein bar, but found no sports nutrition brand was able to make it happen then think again. Take to social media and let us know. We love talking to customers about sports nutrition and protein bar possibilities is one of our favourite topics.

Currently commander of the Civil Relations Service of the AFP, Rosario was promoted to Major General.

Blockbuster movies are no longer the limit for DreamWorks Animation, which announced the creation of a publishing division named DreamWorks Press on Monday. The new press will publish digital and hardcopy books based on, and inspired by, the studio's intellectual property collection.
Emma Whittard, formerly with Disney, will head the new press. DWA's Shawn Dennis, head of franchising, will also be a key player in helping the new division find its footing.
"As we continue to grow our brand on a global level, DreamWorks Press will give fans a meaningful way to interact with us on a year-round basis," said Dennis. "Publishing is a crucial component of any successful franchise, and owning and developing this capability in-house will give us an unprecedented platform to expand the worlds of our most beloved characters as well as introduce families to new characters from within our library."
"Shrek," "Kung Fu Panda," and "Madagascar" are among DWA's most successful franchises and figure to play key roles in the new press's products.
The Perseus Books Group will serve as the division's sales and distribution arm.
DreamWorks Press will have products on the market in time for the 2014 holiday season.
Personal Take
In case nobody's noticed, today's book market is oversaturated with millions of releases per year.
This probably doesn't concern the average consumer, but for those who work in the industry, the addition of another high-profile press doesn't bode well for publishing houses that are trying to stay afloat.
DreamWorks Press is a stroke of genius that should instantly place it higher on the publishing ladder than most presses have worked decades to climb.
The creation of DreamWorks Press should come as no surprise; it's an untapped source of revenue that someone within the company was bound to figure out.
Why it took a major entertainment player like DWA so long to launch its own press to accommodate its massive entertainment franchises should be the lingering question.
While smaller publishers struggle to stay in business, most book consumers won't even notice if some of them fail and go out of business.
Besides, who pays attention to who published that page-turner you polished off last week? It's the author and products that drive sales, not the name of the press.
Instant product recognition is why DreamWorks Press should fare well in today's cutthroat book industry.

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is announcing a new process for making public Geographic Information Systems (GIS) files. NMFS is announcing in the Federal Register of Monday, May 5, 2014 that it is how it plans to make the files available through its Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO). The GIS system collects, keeps analyzes manages and presents all types of geographic data.
NMFS, an office of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, says that over the last decade, requests for the data and requests for geospacial information have steadily increased. So GARFO standardized it for areas it manages. The office uses the Federal Geographic Data Committee Standards to compile metadata.
It puts the files in an ESRI shapefile format, using straight lines to determine boundaries between regulatory areas. While the system uses coordinates, errors may occur in the boundary areas if endpoints are used. So NMFS developed a tool that uses a formula to minimize errors.
The data will be presented as zipped files. The take the form of ESRI shapefiles for each region. NMFS will make them public on its website as soon as they are available. Files will include the shapefile and metadata. Information will also be available via PDF.
NMFS will provide a reference map so enquirers can pinpoint the areas they are interested in. For questions, contact Geographic Information Specialist Dean Szumylo, (978) 281-9479, email@example.com.

While lawmakers are working on appropriations bills to fund the government next year, they seem to have lost interest in trying to meet the country's long-term fiscal challenges. But the newly updated Federal Budget Challenge gives citizens across the country a chance to succeed where Congress has thrown in the towel, letting them select policies to put the country on a fiscally sustainable path.
Two nonpartisan, nonprofit organizations -- Next 10 and The Concord Coalition -- created the Federal Budget Challenge in 2009. It lets players look out over the next 10 years and weigh some of the many different deficit-reduction options that are available to elected officials.
"Despite recent improvements in the near-term budget picture, fiscal policy remains on an unsustainable path," says Robert L. Bixby, Concord's executive director. "This generation has been presented with significant challenges that we must begin to solve. The Federal Budget Challenge allows us to examine areas such as health care costs, taxes, education programs and defense spending, and also lets more Americans join the conversation about the tough choices facing our country."
The new version includes the most up-to-date options as presented by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. For example, players can decide what to do about the caps on discretionary spending that were put in place by the Budget Control Act of 2011. They can allow the caps to continue, or remove them and allow discretionary spending to grow with inflation or the economy.
The online game prompts users to answer important questions about their priorities for America's future. For example:
How can we contain spending by federal health care programs while ensuring access to coverage and care?
Should additional tax revenue be used to reduce federal borrowing?
Should the federal government invest more in research and development?
How should we increase economic growth and job creation?
How should we secure Social Security and Medicare for future generations?
Should we increase or decrease national security funding in the years ahead?
As players consider such questions, the Federal Budget Challenge lets them see how their decisions might impact the deficit in the years ahead. Each option includes background information along with both supporting and opposing arguments.
In Washington, the chaotic federal budget process in recent years has often led to poor decision-making and unrealistic funding plans.
"Long-term, the federal deficit is projected to grow by an alarming $7.6 trillion over the next ten years," said F. Noel Perry, founder of Next 10. "These issues directly impact American voters, who are largely shut out of the budget process."
The exercise features interactive social networking tools and touch-screen capability. Users can take the Challenge as a group and send their results to friends.
The Challenge is based on the latest version of Principles and Priorities, The Concord Coalition's interactive exercise to help citizens across the country understand the difficult trade-offs and compromises necessary to build sound fiscal policy, including some hosted by members of Congress from both parties. The budget challenge platform was originally developed by Next 10.

SOUTHLAND BASE HOSPITAL, Invercargill, New Zealand
Architect: Jasmax Architects and McConnel Smith & Johnson Architects
Client: Southland District Health Board
Budget: NZD$75M (construction)
Opened: September 2004
The range of services provided by the Southland Hospital includes a 24-hour emergency department, acute medical and surgical, outpatient clinics, day procedures, comprehensive ancillary facilities including laboratory, medical imaging diagnostics, specialist neonatal, paediatric, maternity, rehabilitation, therapy (gymnasium, indoor pool) and audiology services.
The complexity and location of this project required very close and continuous liaison with the design team and builders to ensure the client's brief, timeline and quality were met, whilst introducing cost savings wherever possible.
Acoustical input covered all project phases. Some of the acoustic design features are:
- Design of building envelope to control noise from traffic, helicopters and mechanical plant.
- Treatment of Entry, reception and lift lobby to reduce reverberant build up of noise.
- Provision of carpet to non-clinical spaces and corridors to reduce impact noise and improve acoustics in these busy areas.
- Speech privacy and sound insulation design so that confidential communications and hospital activities can proceed without hindrance (i.e. consultation, theatres, interview, tutorial, maternity wards).
- Sound insulation design for control of noise from lifts, plantrooms and adjacent services spaces to assist with patient rest, sleep and recuperation.
- Design, detailing, construction review and commissioning of 4 'free field' audiology rooms located with the hospital.
The successful commissioning measurements along with the favourable comments received, are recognition that the acoustics of this new hospital have been a success.

HTC HD2 (Leo) made official by O2, sort of
It looks like the HTC HD2 is not an Android smartphone as previously rumored, since it's none other than the HTC Leo, of which we already know that it will come with Windows Mobile 6.5.
A leaked page from an O2 UK catalaog is suggesting that the carrier is really close to launching the HTC HD2 (it should happen in October) and that it's presenting it as having "the largest screen yet on a mobile" – the 4.3 inch WVGA display pretty much validates this statement.
As previously reported, the new smartphone will also feature a 5MP autofocus camera and a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
Of course, the HD2 / Leo is still not officially announced, so we don't know its exact release date or price at the moment.

I agree if the prosecution has the admissible evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, there may by little chance of getting out of a Texas Felony DWI without jail time, even if probation is granted. However, there may be issues an experienced DWI defense lawyer can help you with. The state may have trouble proving-up your prior DWI convictions. There may be other legal issues like the stop, search, and arrest. It is never a waste of money to invest in a qualified defense lawyer when facing any felony charges. Good luck.

This week President Barack Obama was spotlighted in a billboard advertisement for a brand of outerwear, Weatherproof. First Lady Michelle Obama was unwittingly included in an advertisement for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). In addition to the actual advertisements, the organizations are reaping the benefits of residual media coverage created by the controversies surrounding their unauthorized campaigns. Is it appropriate, or even legal, to publish advertisements including individuals without their permission? Are public figures fair game by virtue of their celebrity?
The use of one's image or likeness, celebrity or otherwise, is covered under the Right to Publicity law, a derivative of the Right to Privacy; individuals are guaranteed protection from application of their "likeness" (name or image) on a product or service without their explicit permission.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offers guidance on the use of endorsements in advertisements and by and large the directives are for the protection of the consumer. While the image of President Obama in a Weatherproof bomber does not conflict with these guidelines, because his permission to be used in publicity was not provided, it is unlawful.
But is it effective marketing?
Maybe. The number of media impressions gained by one bill board is certainly improved when the billboard becomes the subject of AP news. And while it is highly unlikely that Mrs. Obama will be suing PETA, celebrities have repeatedly sought and achieved financial retribution for the unauthorized suggestion of their endorsement.
Some examples:
Curtis Jackson, aka Rapper 50 Cent is currently suing WorldStarHipHop.com
Mario Andretti v. Borla Performance Industries, Inc. 2005
Bette Midler v. Ford Motor Co.1988
Dennis Hoffman v. Los Angeles Magazine 1997
Fellow Boston marketers - be warned; all of the above applies equally to impersonators as well.

I have been a union member for most of my adulthood. Management and the Big Business hate unions for obvious reasons. They cannot control, manipulate and mistreat unionized work force like they do with no-union. They have to pay unionized workers a fair pay and provide better working conditions. Those will obviously come out of their outrageous bonuses. This is why you see bullshit adds like the above.
Corporate Front Group Airs Misleading Anti-Union Ad During Super Bowl
While Super Bowl XLVI will be remembered for its dramatic ending, the issue of workers' rights and union representation also surrounded the National Football League's biggest game. A labor dispute nearly cost the NFL its 2011-12 season, and in the days before the game, Indiana passed an anti-union "right to work" law that led to union and Occupy protests at Indianapolis' Super Bowl festivities throughout the week.
But despite fears from sports columnists and right-wing blogs that the protesters would "ruin the Super Bowl," the only visible advocacy for some of the game's viewers came in the form of a misleading anti-union attack ad from a corporate front group. The Center on Union Facts, an organization that has run newspaper ads comparing unions to Kim Jong-il's authoritarian North Korean regime and endorsed other ads comparing unions to Nazis, produced and paid for the 40-second ad, which ran in the Washington DC television market just before halftime ended. Watch it:
The ad's claim that just 10 percent of current union members voted to form the union may be true, but it is incredibly misleading. Federal law mandates that more than 50 percent of a company's workforce must vote in favor of the formation of a union. Most current union members, however, join unions that were formed years before and know that the union exists when they take the job.
The ad's implication that the Employee Rights Act — a national right-to-work law — would put money in workers' pockets is also misleading. According to the Economic Policy Institute, right-to-work laws cost workers up to $1,500 a year and also lead to reduced pensions and health care coverage.
Super Bowl broadcasters have traditionally banned ads that advocate for political causes. Year after year, though, it seems that ban doesn't extend to misleading anti-union ads paid for by corporate front-groups that don't disclose their donors.

Report out on former captain of USS Cowpens
SAN DIEGO - A retired military official says hundreds of sailors were put at risk aboard the USS Cowpens after a new report shows that the commanding officer let subordinates take control of the ship.
Capt. Greg Gombert served as the commanding officer of the Cowpens, leading the crew on a recent seven-month deployment. 10News spoke with him in November during typhoon relief efforts in the Philippines.
"They'll bum rush the helicopter," he told 10News. "They mean well, but they're in survival mode."
The ship made headlines in December when it had a near miss with a Chinese amphibious ship.
Then just two months after the USS Cowpens returned to San Diego, Gombert was relieved of his duties.
A report by the Navy Times said Gombert became sick with flu-like symptoms and ultimately spent more and more time in his cabin. It said he skipped multiple briefings, even though the investigation obtained by the publication showed he exaggerated his medical condition.
The article said Gombert delegated responsibilities to unqualified officers, including Lt. Cmdr. Destiny Savage. Savage was "not fully qualified to be a permanent XO," according to the report.
The article goes on to say he may have engaged in a "questionable relationship" with her.
"I've never heard of anything like this before," said retired Rear Adm. Len Hering.
Hering said giving duties to unqualified personnel puts the entire ship at risk.
"I would say abnormal, abnormally strange that a commanding officer would relinquish the responsibility of safety and command to a subordinate, not command qualified," Hering said.
The investigation reported by the Navy Times showed there were a string of bad decisions on the Cowpens' deployment that started with Gombert.
"The commanding officer is the individual with the greatest amount of experience, and is ultimately responsible for the conduct and the safety of the ship," Hering said.
Team 10 reached out to the former commanding officer but has not yet heard back.

download link is broken.
I used your other old-school guide about a year ago and it worked great. is this the same repack? I know the old one did not have a .bat file in it. Also, the Download is broke >.<
Oh and Hamm the 5 disk set only takes you to v1.5.1, then the first retail patch takes you to v1.12.0. The next patch will take you all the way to v3.0. so you have to search Google for "wow patch 1.12.0 > 1.12.1"
Now the retail patch to 1.12.o take forever so you might want to go head and download that from another source also. 1.12.2 is basicly only for spanish servers so it's not needed.
Last edited by merciless187; 01-20-2009 at 03:22 AM.
It's pretty much the same this time, I just did a few updates for the repack as well.. But as you said, it's possible to download the patch on the internet.. Just search for WoW Patch 1.12.0-to-1.12.1 enXX (enGB/enUS), Shouldn't be a hard part (:
But if you need more help, then feel free to add my msn.

A coming home celebration and neighborhood march Saturday is planned for 93-year-old Pearlie McKenzie as she takes possession of her new Habitat for Humanity home.
The celebration begins at 8 a.m. at Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church on Duval Street. McKenzie has been a member of the congregation there for more than 50 years.
At approximately 9:15 a.m., the participants are expected to arrive at McKenzie's new two-bedroom, one-bath home at 156 Webb St. for dedication ceremonies.
Since October, McKenzie has been living in South Carolina with a younger sister.
Last fall, Habitat officials heard about the poor housing conditions in which McKenzie was living and of her bout with pneumonia the previous winter. Habitat offered to build her a new home on the land where the existing home stood.
The decision to have her home of more than 60 years torn down was a difficult one, she admits, especially since her late husband, Adam, had built it. But she finally agreed.
Prosperity Bank has financially sponsored the construction materials and sent teams of their employees to build the house. The volunteers participated in framing, roofing, vinyl siding installation, painting, landscaping and the final clean-up.
"Too often, we take for granted the safety and security provided by owning our home," suggests Eddie Creamer, CEO and president of Prosperity Bank. "However, for many in our community, home ownership is unachievable. If Prosperity Bank accomplishes nothing more than helping people own homes, than we will have been successful."

The behavioural, endocrine and leucocyte response of ...
|The behavioural, endocrine and leucocyte response of ewes to repeated removal of lambs before the age of natural weaning
|M. S. Cockram, P. Imlah, P. J. Goddard, G. D. Harkiss, N. K. Waran
|Applied Animal Behaviour Science
|Start page
|End page
|The effect of repeated lamb removal on the blood leukocyte population of ewes was examined and the behavioural and endocrine responses to the stressor quantified. 12 ewes which had given birth to twins, were placed in separate pens with their lambs. After 13 days, the lambs (14-19 days old) from one group of 6 ewes (treatment group) were removed from the pens and placed in a pen 11 m from the nearest ewe. After 3 h the lambs were moved back to their dam. The lambs then remained with their dam for 3 h before being removed for a second period of 3 h. This procedure was repeated for 23 days. A control group of 6 ewes remained with their lambs continuously for the 24-day experimental period. The removal of lambs produced behavioural changes in the ewes. These included: orientation towards the lamb, vocalization, raised head, erect ears, and decreased lying and sleeping behaviours. Although these changes were present over the 24-day experimental period, there were signs of habituation after 3 days of the treatment. The endocrine responses to lamb removal were less marked. Some ewes showed a plasma cortisol and β-endorphin response on Day 1 of lamb removal, but the mean responses were little different from the control group. There was no obvious plasma prolactin response to the treatment. On Day 10 of lamb removal, the blood concentration of neutrophils in the treatment ewes had increased and the proportion of CD2 lymphocytes and T19 lymphocytes had decreased compared with that of control ewes. There were no significant differences between the treatment and control ewes in either the delayed type hypersensitivity skin responses to dinitrofluorobenzene or the humoral antibody responses to ovalbumin. It is suggested that ewes may show behavioural responses to repeated lamb removal but this stressor had no significant effect on the endocrine and immune measurements studied.
