My Blood Lust Romance
Tears of Black - My Blood Lust Romance 1I watched the sun sinking behind the buildings as I trudged through the streets. The wind had started to pick up, but I had forgotten to pick up my jacket on the way out. I listened to the birds as they chirped to their young in the nests, and tasted a fog building. Yeah, that sounds weird, but fog has a particular way of making itself known.Tears of Black - My Blood Lust Romance 1 by Leanneisme

In 1906, a German doctor named Alzheimer noticed abnormal clumps and tangled bundles of fibers in the brain tissue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness. Today nearly 4 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and as our population ages that number is expected to rise dramatically. And there's still no cure or treatment to forestall onset of the disease.
The disease poses many challenges and can exact a huge toll on its victims and on the people who love and care for them, both emotionally and financially. Although many things about Alzheimer's remain a mystery, research is offering a better understanding of the disease, more accurate diagnoses, and more effective treatments.
Experts featured on NEW YORK VOICES HEALTH: ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE include:
- Robin Fenley, the director of the Alzheimer's and Long Term Care unit of the
New York City Department for the Aging
- Judi Grimaldi, an elder law attorney
- Jed Levine, executive vice president of the New York City chapter of the
Alzheimer's Association
- Steven Ferris, professor of psychiatry at
New York University School of Medicine
- Pat Tomasso, a clinical psychologist for nursing home patients.

Ford Performance Headers
Featured Headers Products
Ford exhaust headers amount to what are smaller versions of exhaust pipes working in coordination with one another. Each exhaust header directs gases away from its corresponding cylinder and enables exhaust regulation that doesn't result in the same back force that expends so much energy with traditional manifold setups. For those drivers who want a more efficient vehicle with less troublesome exhaust, a Ford aftermarket exhaust header will serve them well.

Chris Seelye, of Darby Montana, died Monday night after becoming ill on the fire line near Entiat.
Seelye was working as a timber faller on the Klone Fire and was treated by incident medical personnel and transported to a nearby hospital, where he died.
The Klone Fire is estimated to be about 656 acres and primarily burning timber that was severely impacted by disease and insects.
About a dozen tree fallers were called in to assist in efforts with the Wenatchee Complex Fire.
Tree fallers are called in to wildfire situations to professionally remove hazardous trees to allow firefighters to construct a fire line- or to eliminate a safety threat.

Inspired by '70s decor, DwellStudio's Farrah Dining Chair pairs a cantilever base with a lush rounded seat and concave back rest. The antique gold finish hails from applied gold leaf and, while the leather is rich, it's actually faux. Altogether, the 30lb piece feels substantial and luxe but distinct, lending personality to any room.
Portland, Oregon-based artist Colin Adrian works with colored glass and copper to create a suspended Third Eye ($90), a striking sun-catcher most effective when hung near a window. Beyond his third eye designs, Adrian also makes protective Hamsa hands and delicate bird feathers in different shades of stained glass.
Not just for model wannabes, the "Unsigned" T-shirt from Wilhelmina models and LA-based menswear brand Hiro Clark embraces the idea of beauty everywhere—and the empowerment behind confidence. It's an item for all, and crafted from 100% slub cotton jersey—a specialized cotton that's lightly twisted while being woven. Feel proud and comfortable in this ultra-soft, fun collaborative piece.
Create your trippiest artwork and set your inner artist free with Jared Hoffman's "The Stoner's Coloring Book." With 40+ original illustrations created by nine artists, the pages within are a wild ride; psychedelic and plenty of positive vibes. So find a comfy spot to sit, settle in with your favorite snacks, and enjoy this childhood activity that's just as fun now.
Dinner at the campsite can be meaningful as it is nourishing. Outdoor brand Patagonia's purposeful food line Provisions is offering meals that are surprisingly both delicious and good for you, while being sensitive to the environment and investing in conservation efforts. The lightly smoked wild sockeye salmon can be eaten straight from the pouch, or warmed up along with filling organic whole grain and vegetable Tsampa Soup. The sealed packs are shelf stable for one year, requiring no refrigeration—and you don't have to backpack to enjoy them. It's so flavorful, you'll have scraped the plate clean in the same time it takes to put in a Seamless order.
Made from geometric-shaped ash wood, these delightful lamps are painted in bright primary colors that add a splash of boldness to any room, without overwhelming it. A great option for those seeking decorative lighting but live in small spaces, the Junit Lamp delivers a soft glow that's gentle, ambient and calming thanks to its oversized but milky glass lightbulb.
At first glance, the Pilot Automatic watch designed by Australia's luxury timepiece brand Bausele captures attention for two reasons: a hyper-modern face and an off-center dial. In fact, both of these attributes are drawn from aviation pilot watches of old and the latter observation makes it an ideal driving watch. With one's hands at 10 and two on a steering wheel, the dial appears perfectly aligned. This 44mm piece, made in Switzerland, pairs a black matte ceramic case with a deep blue leather strap, furthering the distinct look. And as it's made in an edition of only 75, there aren't that many to go around.
Delving into renowned artist Kerby Rosanes' sketchbook—via his newly published "Sketchy Stories"—is akin to seeing behind the curtain. It's a reproduction of his Moleskin and is chock-full of positive mantras along with strange and sweet critters and characters—from martians to wolves and even a take on Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. Since it's all in black and white, it almost begs to be a coloring book—though we're unsure whether the artist would approve or not.
William N Copley (aka CPLY) passed away in 1996, but his thoughtful and provocative art remains relevant. Somewhere between Surrealism and American pop art, Copley's work is colorful, bold and full of allegory. This American flag pin (with the word "think" replacing the stars) is a timely reminder that's it's possible to be hopeful, thoughtful, respectful and still patriotic.
A well-ventilated helmet makes all the difference between enjoying vs cursing your summer commute and weekend bike rides. Specialized's new Airnet helmet has large vents to efficiently keep temperatures down, with comfortable merino wool pads that dry quickly. Both the streamlined design and mid-tier price hit a sweet spot between baseline and pro offerings. Available in men's and women's sizing (the latter has a Hairport to fit ponytails), this snug Airnet is equipped with a Multi-Directional Impact Protection System for even more protection.
Inspired by the style and spirit of the '70s, this stonewashed vintage-vibe T-shirt from Bliss and Mischief is very 420 friendly. With flocked lettering spelling out "Nature's Way of Saying High" on the front and a giant "Legalize Bliss" on the back, the message is clear. Made in the USA from 100% cotton, the T-shirt is slim-fitting—so keep that in mind when buying online.
Designed in Australia, this giant round beach towel is big enough for two. Measuring 60 inches in diameter, and boasting a cream and black design, it will be at home on the hot sand but will be just as useful when picnicking in a park or sunbathing by the pool. Complete with tasseled edges, it's a little bit posh, but if you spill a daiquiri it won't be the end of the world—made from 100% cotton, it should wash out.
This set of four 100% linen cotton napkins features different screen-printed color trim on each—and a message every hostess, host or guest would love to be called: Gracious, Skilled, Daring, or Charming. All of the letter-pressing is done by hand in Sideshow Press' South Carolina studio. At 5.5 x 8.5 inches, they're ideal for cocktails and are sure to punch up any party with a bit of class.
Nothing's off-limits for Tokyo-based Sublime Headwear: tie-dye beanies, felt baseball caps, made-in-Nepal cashmere pieces, brightly patterned bucket hats—they play with it all. Perfect for whatever warm weather region you're headed to, their rollable, foldable straw hat—made in collaboration with Ace Hotel New Orleans—can be tossed in a suitcase with no worries, leaving more room to bring back lots and lots of souvenirs.
This navy denim jacket, designed by artist Zakee Shariff, is beautifully embroidered with hands that touch and emit a healing rainbow; a visual declaration for coming together. The front sports equally colorful changing moon phases along the buttonholes. Made to order in the UK, it's full of positive vibes to get you off to a good start—and maybe those around you, as well.
For anyone looking to step up their iPhone image capturing, the new ExoLens attachment features a wide-angle professional ZEISS lens. It's the first (virtually distortion-free) aspherical lens developed by the brand solely for iPhone. With an infinite focal length, the lens is ideal for landscape and architectural photography—and the quality is stunning. Further, the bracket (which connects the lens to an iPhone) has been composed of precision-machined aluminum—making it lightweight—and features interior liners to protect the device.
Launching today on Kickstarter, Ippinka's Lift hook can hold more than just your bags and winter coats. Made to securely hold up your bike, Lift is super-strong (made to hold 50lbs) but still sleek enough to prevent a clunky, ugly wall mess. Made with the intention to declutter your home and life, the wood-and-steel hook can be attached to several different surfaces—so whether it's in your apartment entryway or your garage's concrete walls, it will stay up.

In giving, we receive. In volunteering for rescue, we are rescued. When we come together as a group to help homeless and death-row shar pei, we build community by working together for a cause that is greater than ourselves. As we set aside our personal differences and issues to serve these innocents in need, we grow spiritually and we increase in compassion, understanding, and kindness.
We give of our time to teach abused dogs to trust and in return they teach us about forgiveness and unconditional love. We work together as a team, and in so doing we learn to set boundaries with each other, which helps us to teach the dogs about boundaries. We learn to be at peace, instead of in pieces. We give of our free time and resources to save and improve lives, but we find that it is our lives that are saved and improved.
Chinese Shar Pei Network, Inc. has several volunteer opportunities in southern California (take pictures of dogs, foster, help with adoption events) and also an opportunity that can be done from anywhere (Transport Coordinator). To learn how you can become a volunteer, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you and Namaste.

"Bachelorette" star Andi Dorfman is getting closer to finding her new life partner, but she still has a couple of episodes to go before she gets a proposal on national television. Many people seem to be divided as to who they think is the right man for Andi, and Andi has supposedly been exploring her options behind closed doors. According to a new Celeb Dirty Laundry report published on July 7, "Bachelorette" star Andi Dorfman is rumored to have slept with two of the men on her overnight dates.
During the Fantasy Suite dates, Andi gets to spend time with the men behind closed doors and see what they can talk about when the cameras are not around. It was after her overnight date with Juan Pablo that she realized that she wanted to leave the show. She felt that she knew nothing about Juan Pablo, including his hobbies, his religion or his political views.
Even though Andi and the men are doing hometown dates tonight, Andi has a couple of overnight dates coming up next week in the Fantasy Suite dates. Andi supposedly slept with two guys on the show; Josh Murray and Nick Viall. People seem to be very split about who they want for Andi, as some see Josh to be too laid back, and some see Nick as being too fake and secretive.
Apparently, In Touch ran a story that she was pregnant and didn't know who the father was. That story seems to have been fake, but it does bring up some important points. Sources are saying that she did sleep with both men on the overnights. Perhaps she was torn about them and wanted to make sure that she was picking the right man for her.
Andi did use Twitter to clear up some of the rumors and joked about how absurd it was that she was pregnant. And while she could have said anything, she never denied having sex with both Josh and Nick. Maybe she didn't want to reveal who was left on the show.
What do you think of her hooking up with both men?

UMass Falls At Rhode Island Despite Timbilla's Double-Double
Feb. 19, 2013
KINGSTON, R.I. - In a contest that came down to the final minute of play, UMass women's basketball suffered a 45-42 setback at Rhode Island's Ryan Center on Tuesday afternoon. Forward Rashida Timbilla earned the sixth double-double of the freshman's career with 14 points on 6-for-6 shooting with a pair of free throws to go with 11 rebounds. Freshman guard Jasmine Harris also reached double-figures in scoring with 14 points on a trio of three-pointers and five foul shots. The contest had to be rescheduled from its original Sunday, Feb. 10 date due to severe winter weather in the Northeast.
With Rhode Island ahead by five points with 14 seconds remaining in the contest, Harris knocked down a pair of free throws to drop the deficit to 45-42 before the Minutewomen defense forced a five-second inbounding violation on URI to regain possession. After a timeout, Harris received the ball outside the arc and fired a contested three-pointer that bounced off the rim before falling wide to end the potential game-tying attempt.
UMass (3-22 overall, 1-9 Atlantic 10) worked to an 11-6 lead with 13:15 remaining on the strength of early offense from four Minutewomen. Timbilla notched the first Minutewomen points of the day on a layup at the 18:36 mark before Jasmine Watson knocked down a fastbreak basket to give UMass its first lead of the day, 4-2 with 17:56 to play.
Samantha Tabakman and Symone Bullard answered for Rhode Island before Timbilla notched another layup and senior guard Dee Montgomery followed with a three-pointer to put UMass ahead, 9-6 with 14:45 remaining. Harris pushed the lead to five, the largest for the Minutewomen, with a pair of free throws two trips into the offensive zone later.
Rhode Island (6-19, 1-9) fought back over the remainder of the half to secure a 24-18 advantage at the break. The Rams took the lead back with 11:05 to play on a Bullard layup, growing the margin as high as eight on a free throw by Brianna Thomas with 55 seconds to play in the stanza. Freshman guard Adriana Jordan answered with a jumper from the left wing with 26 seconds to play in the first to reach the halftime mark.
The Minutewomen hit three of their opening five attempts in the second stanza, with Timbilla reaching double-digits at 10 points on a 5-for-5 shooting day to pull UMass within 26-22 of the Rams at the 19:00 mark of play. The freshman from Ottawa, Ontario, moved to 6-for-6 from the floor on another layup 5:50 later, dropping the deficit to 29-26.
Timbilla followed with a pair of free throws after backing toward the basket and drawing a foul on Emilie Cloutier before Harris knocked down a three-pointer to tie it at 31-31 with 11:46 on the clock. Harris followed with another trey to give the Minutewomen their first lead since the opening half, draining an attempt from the left side with 9:14 to play to put UMass in front, 36-33.
Rhode Island answered back with a 7-0 run to pull in front, 40-36 before Harris sank the front end of a pair of foul shots to knock the deficit to three with 2:43 left. After Tayra Melendez hit a free throw to push the URI lead back to four, Harris responded with a trey to bring the Minutewomen within 41-40 with 2:11 remaining.
UMass and Rhode Island recorded matching points in the paint totals, with 20 for each team while scoring off of turnover favored the Rams, 9-6. Second chance points also went Rhode Island's way, 10-7 while the Minutewomen reserves outscored the Rams bench personnel, 21-9.
Rhode Island hit 16-of-55 field goal attempts (29.1 percent), while the UMass perimeter defense limited the Rams to an 0-for-5 day from behind the arc. Massachusetts finished 15-for-52 (28.3 percent) overall and 4-for-18 from three (22.2 percent). The Minutewomen finished 8-for-16 from the free throw line while Rhode Island was 13-of-25 at the charity stripe (52.0 percent).
Melendez led the Rams with 13 points while Emilie Cloutier added 11 rebounds.
The Minutewomen have a quick turnaround to complete their next contest, returning to Amherst, Mass., to host Charlotte (20-4, 9-1) at the Mullins Center on Wednesday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m.

Here's a question from an old examination paper:
Find all $(x,y)$ in $\mathbf{Z}^{2}$ where $y$ is odd and $y^2=x^3-4$.
Find all $(x,y)$ in $\mathbf{Z}^{2}$ with $y$ even and $y^2=x^3 -4$.
When $(x,y)$ in $\mathbf{Z}^{2}$ where $y=2Y$ is even and $y^2=x^3-4$, show that $x=2X$ with $X, Y$ odd and that $\gcd(Y+i,Y-i) = 1+i$.
An older student who has taken the exam already told us that we should look at $\mathbf{Z}[i]$ but I don't see where to go with this information. Help is greatly appreciated.

Do Different Health Insurance Plans in China Create Disparities in Health Care Utilization and Expenditures?
Hai Fang, Associate Professor, Department of Health Systems, Management, and Policy,University of Colorado Denver
RSVP required by 5PM February 22
China has recently reformed its health care system with the intent of providing universal coverage for basic health care to every Chinese citizen. Three separate health insurance plans have recently been launched to achieve this objective: the rural newly cooperative medical scheme, urban resident health insurance, and urban employee-based health insurance. Each plan differs substantially in terms of insurers, insured population, premiums, and benefits packages. Using data from the 2009 China Health and Nutrition Survey, Hai Fang will discuss a study that investigates whether and to what extend different health insurance plans have created disparities in health care utilization and expenditure.
Hai Fang is an assistant professor in the Department of Health Systems, Management, and Policy at the University of Colorado Denver, and a research associate in the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He earned his doctorate in economics and master of public health from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2006. Before joining the University of Colorado Denver, he taught at the University of California, Davis, and the University of Miami. His research interests include health economics, labor economics, and public health.

More than 30 years after the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, young people are again taking dangerous risks with their lives, according to a new report from the Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention.
Young gay and bisexual men, along with African Americans, are disproportionately affected by HIV, says a new report by the CDC. About 72% of new HIV infections in this age group occur in men who have sex with men, and 57% occur among African Americans.

Abby Boone hates the word blood. Unfortunately, it has become an all-too-common one in the Boone family's vocabulary since the 8-year-old was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a cancer of the white blood cells, in March.
It's a sweltering hot day in July, and Abby, along with her 6-yearold brother, Andy, are leaving their Suwanee home with their mom, Kim, in anticipation of long hours of doctor appointments and errands.
"Yes, our life is a juggle, but everyone's life is a juggle. Ours is just a different juggle than it was a year ago," Kim says. "It's our new normal."
The first stop today is a quick trip to Staples for school supplies. Despite their somewhat halted lives, the Boones must still plan ahead. Abby walks through the store, pointing out things she needs, while Kim checks her list.
At the next stop—a dermatologist appointment for Andy—Abby sits in the waiting room, playing games on her iPod. She is wearing bright pink, her favorite color. She talks about her favorite foods, her best friends. A typical 8-year-old with dreams and hopes, but the toughest part is yet to come.
Kim applies numbing cream to Abby's other arm, and the family again piles in the car. Throughout the morning, Kim has encouraged Abby to drink water. That will help the blood draw go more smoothly.
The kind lab techs at Abby's pediatrician's office are ready for her. They take a break from lunch just for her. Abby is scared. A past blood draw from her hand was painful, and she hasn't forgotten. Her mother soothes her. And then it's done.
The news is good. Abby's counts are high enough for her to begin her new treatment round at the Aflac Cancer Center. Kim highfives Abby, happy to be moving forward. The hard part is over— for today.
It's two days after their busy day of appointments, and Kim is up by 5 a.m. She, her husband, Jamey, and Abby are at the Aflac Cancer Center long before their 8 a.m. appointment. The nurse calls Abby and her parents back to check her vitals.
They move into another room. There they'll speak to the doctor and prepare Abby for treatment. Abby calls it the chit-chat room. While they're there, nurses, other staff members and even fellow patients stop by, saying hello and gathering the latest news.
Rachel Segneri, a Children's physical therapist, comes into the room. Abby is part of a research study that will show how certain exercises affect long-term outcomes. Abby stretches, then marches in place with her mom while her dad watches and encourages her.
Melinda Pauly, M.D., a fellow with the Aflac Cancer Center, comes in to give the Boones Abby's new treatment schedule. She also has good news.
"We have an official off-therapy date for you," she says. "You'll be done July 14, 2013."
Until then, for the next several months, Abby will visit the clinic every week and spend every other week in inpatient treatment. After that, she'll continue to visit the clinic every month. Her type of leukemia has a high cure rate, and Abby's prognosis is good.
Jamey, a senior vice president at Bank of America, is glad to be at a hospital where he knows his daughter is cared for and comfortable.
"You feel like you've gained a new family," he said. "You walk in and you know everyone here. The staff here is amazing. This is a love labor for them, and it really shows."
Abby is tired. Sleep in the hospital is interrupted sleep, but last night was especially challenging. She began her chemotherapy at 9:30 p.m. and rested in her room. Jamey stayed with her while
Kim went home to tuck Andy into bed.
The Boones try to help Andy understand what is going on with his sister and normalize his life as much as possible. Kim and Jamey both know that a lot of their energy goes to Abby, and they make sure to do special things with their son, too.
"We try to keep life at home as normal as we possibly can—for Abby and for Andy," Kim says.
Room 182 at the Hotel Aflac, as the Boones call it, is starting to look homey. Kim has brought food, blankets, crafts and other activities to make things easier for Abby—and for her and Jamey. Abby has decorated both her door and her window with flowers, writing the phrase, "Cancer can't bloom here—only flowers can."
"She is a fighter, and she is kicking cancer's butt," Kim says. "Everything we have to go through is just one more way to make sure we'll never have to do it again."

I have CrashPlan running on my MacBook Pro, and it went a little haywire. Essentially, it caused a fork bomb. Fortunately, I had an open Terminal window and was able to run this command:
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist
So the constant re-spawning has stopped. But, I still have over 900 java processes that aren't doing anything except pushing me up against my maximum process count. I would prefer not restarting my computer, as I have a lot of open code files, web pages, etc. Is there an easy way to force the system to reap these zombies? I would kill the parent process, but they're all started by launchd aka PID 1. At that point, it would be better to restart.
I have tried:
sudo kill -9 <PID>
sudo kill -9 java
sudo killall -9 java
Is there a way of killing the zombies once and for all without having to kill launchd to do it? Or will I have to restart in order to survive this zombie apocalypse?

Success Story: Michael – Insulin Levels & Weight
The Hauser Diet includes blood work that looks at what is going on inside of your body. To determine one's particular diet type, a person will have his blood pH tested and have a glucose tolerance test. In addition to the glucose tolerance test, it is important to measure the insulin levels. For Diet Typing, we measure the insulin levels at a fasting level and one hour after consuming a sugar drink. Many other labs will perform glucose tolerance tests without measuring any insulin levels. But we have seen that the insulin is an essential part of knowing what is going on in someone after consuming carbohydrates, or sugar. Why? Because insulin is the hormone that brings glucose (sugar) from the blood into the cells. Out-of-range insulin levels indicate that the body is not processing sugar the way it should be and can tell us if the cells are resisting the insulin.
A perfect example is a patient we recently saw, Michael, who came to see us with a number of goals in mind: to lose weight, increase his energy, relieve his irritable bowel syndrome and improve his mental health. His blood pH was acidic, indicating that he needed more protein. But his glucose tolerance test resembled that of a slow oxidizer. So at first look, Michael's tolerance of carbohydrates looked completely normal. However when his insulin results came in the next day, we saw that his body does not tolerate carbohydrates very well at all! His fasting insulin level was normal – right at 12 units. One hour after drinking the sugar drink, his insulin went into overdrive, his levels shot up to 119 units. We like to see the hour insulin levels around 40 units, he was three times that amount! In other words, a normal amount of insulin was not enough to get the sugar from the blood to the cells, his body had to work three times as hard as the average person to process the blood sugar. These levels indicate diabetes and put Michael at risk for heart disease.
Michael was placed on the Otter Diet in order to get a high protein, low carbohydrate diet ratio. Protein naturally breaks down slower than carbohydrate, so when a person has high blood sugars or high insulin levels, a high protein diet will work with the person's body to use food for energy, weight loss, and much more! So as you can see, a glucose tolerance test often does not provide enough information. Checking insulin levels is essential in determining the right diet for a person to follow.

|Cato Policy Analysis No. 82
|February 10, 1987
by Clint Bolick
Clint Bolick is an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Appellate Section. He is working on a book entitled Changing Course: Civil Rights at the Crossroads. The views expressed in this article are solely those of the author; they are not intended, and should not be construed, to reflect the views of the Department of Justice or any other federal agency.
Executive Summary
For the past two decades, those who would use the coercive power of the state to remold our society and redistribute its wealth have frequently invoked the civil rights laws to attain their ends, with considerable success. By distorting the principle of equal opportunity that inspired such laws, these social engineers have reallocated burdens and benefits on the basis of such immutable factors as race and gender, laying waste along the way to free-market processes and the vital freedoms they protect.
Much attention and energy has been directed--for good reason and with some progress--toward resisting such departures from the principle of equal opportunity as racial quotas and comparable worth. However, little note has been taken of the systematic effort in the courts to transform the federal law prohibiting arbitrary age discrimination into a mandate for preferential treatment for workers over 40. Yet, in terms of both the economy and individual freedom, there are very widespread ramifications of this unheralded transformation from equal opportunity to compulsory favoritism.
The stakes involved are substantial, as illustrated by the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee's rejection in April 1986 of Jeffrey I. Zuckerman, President Reagan's nominee for general counsel of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Although Zuckerman was vilified by much of the civil rights establishment for his antiquota views, it was his resistance to an overly expansive interpretation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)[1] that tipped the balance to produce a highly unusual rejection of a nominee for an executive position on solely ideological grounds.
Zuckerman's offense was his challenging the prevailing orthodoxy surrounding the ADEA and urging an interpretation consistent with the explicit intent and language of the law. For this offense, his commitment to enforcing the law was called into question. Indeed, no one challenged Zuckerman's qualifications. As Sen. Paul Simon (D-Ill.) conceded, "There is no question about your ability, . . . about your integrity. The question is commitment."[2]
The opposition was spearheaded by a potent coalition that, as expressed in a letter from Rep. Claude Pepper (D-Fla.), objected to the nomination "because of its possible detrimental effect on the continued vigorous enforcement of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act."[3] Among the organizations opposing Zuckerman because of his views on the ADEA were the American Association of Retired Persons, Gray Panthers, National Education Association, American Nurses' Association, Older Women's League, and Leadership Council of Aging Organizations, a 30-group coalition that condemned Zuckerman's unwillingness "to use all existing legal precedents" and a "hostility toward aggressive enforcement" of the ADEA.[4] Although some groups such as the Anti-Defamation League and the Cuban American National Foundation supported Zuckerman, Sen. Howard M. Metzenbaum (D-Ohio) could charge that "all the senior citizens groups" were opposed and that the nomination had elicited "more opposition than I recollect in connection with almost anybody who has been up for confirmation in a long time."[5] With Zuckerman's defeat, a potentially significant obstacle to the age lobby's political agenda was removed from the scene.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Minor flooding is expected to continue for several days at the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers.
The National Weather Service said Saturday that low-lying campgrounds and recreation areas, trails and parking areas are affected. It said the river is a little more than a foot above flood stage.
Although forecasters are awaiting a large amount of spring runoff from snow in the Rocky Mountains, the weather service said flows through Bonneville Dam are expected to be steady for several days.

Samsumg has just reached a new milestone, releasing the worlds first 20-nm NAND flash suited to embedded memory solutions and SD memory cards ranging from 4 to 64GB.
Along with the benefits of 20nm (cheaper to make and better densities), Samsung claim their new 20-nm class NAND flash memory is more reliable and around 30% faster than its 30-nm MLC chips that are found in existing 8GB and higher SD cards.
This should result in us seeing cheaper class 10 SD cards with read and write rates of 20Mbps/10Mbps for the market a little later this year.
For further details, check out Samsung's full announcement here.

College Hockey:Yale Rides Second Period Over Notre Dame
Bulldogs Win First Game In Chicago Area in Seven Years
ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Yale Bulldogs scored three unanswered goals in the second period and for the second night in a row rode the stellar goaltending of freshman Josh Gartner for a 3-1 win over Notre Dame in a game played at the Allstate Arena Saturday night.
The Irish "home" game at the suburban Chicago arena was the first collegiate hockey game played in Chicago since 1996 when the University of Illinois-Chicago dropped its program. Saturday's game was played in front of a crowd of 5,091 and was a homecoming for Notre Dame's five Illinois natives – seniors Michael Chin, Evan Nielsen and Tony Zasowski along with junior Brett Lebda and sophomore Joe Zurenko.
After a scoreless first period, Yale got on the board early in the second period when Joe Zappala beat Zasowski, making his first start since Nov. 30, with a wrister from the bottom of the left-wing circle that deflected off the crossbar and in at 3:10 for his sixth of the season.
Until that point the Irish had taken the play to Yale, but just like Friday night's first goal, it proved to be the undoing of the Irish.
"We don't handle the first goal against very well. We let down and that turns the momentum of the game," said Irish coach Dave Poulin.
Yale built the lead to 3-0 as the Bulldogs scored twice in a 51 second span. Mike Klema and Zappala combined on a two-on-one with Zappala sliding the puck to Klema who snapped it behind Zasowski at 8:29 for his second goal of the season and the eventual game winner.
Nick Deschenes followed up with his fifth of the season at 9:18 to cap the Bulldogs scoring and from there, Yale turned things over to Gartner who finished with 35 stops on the night, including 14 in the third period.
The Irish broke the rookie's shutout bid just 36 seconds into the third period. John Wroblewski stopped a Yale clearing attempt along the left wing boards. The senior left wing moved the puck back to Brett Lebda who fired from the left point. Rob Globke got his stick on the puck at the hashmarks and deflected the puck behind Gartner for his career-best 18th goal of the season, but that would be all the Irish would get.
For the night, the Irish outshot Yale, 36-34. Zasowski finished the night with 31 saves for the Irish.
"Our defense did a good job in front of me," said Zasowski, the Irish senior goaltender. "They kept the front cleared and gave me a good chance to see the shots. I thought they also did a good job of clearing the rebounds. It's just those short lapses that have hurt us."
The loss extends the Irish winless skid to five games (0-4-1) and sees Notre Dame fall two games under .500 (9-11-4) for the first time this season. Yale improves to 10-8-0 on the year.
Things don't get any easier for Notre Dame. The Irish play their final 12 games versus CCHA teams in the heat of the battle for home ice in the playoffs. Michigan State is next on the docket for Notre Dame as the Spartans visit the Joyce Center on Fri.-Sat., Jan. 24-25 for a pair of 7:05 games.

With Seattle's rout of Denver in the Super Bowl, the NFL offseason officially gets underway for all teams, including the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens have a lot of work to do, but at least they have filled out their coaching staff by hiring Gary Kubiak to be the new offensive coordinator and allowing him to bring along other position coaches.
The Ravens need to figure out how to manage their tricky salary cap situation, which likely starts with a decision on Terrell Suggs. It's expected that the Ravens try to work out an extension to lower his cap number, but if he balks, I doubt the team would hesitate to cut him.
Kubiak needs to get on the same page with the rest of his staff and John Harbaugh to start figuring out the offensive system going forward.
The team will also need to figure out where Kelechi Osemele and Ray Rice stand on recovering from their injuries as they will be two key players for the offense heading into 2014.
There is also the continuing preparation for the NFL Draft, which takes on even more significance this year with the Ravens having a few less picks but selecting higher than usual in each round. The team has some real needs on both sides of the ball that needed to be addressed, particularly on offense.
On another note, while Seattle's defensive performance in the Super Bowl was about as impressive as it gets, all of the comparisons to the '85 Bears and 2000 Ravens is a bit much.
Seattle has a very good defense, but it isn't as good as that Ravens defense, which set the record for fewest points allowed in a season. That defense also allowed just 23 points in four playoff games, with 7 of those coming on a kickoff return for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Green Our Chemical System
For years, the Breast Cancer Fund has documented the strong link between toxic chemicals and breast cancer. And it comes as no surprise that many other diseases—such as asthma, certain cancers, learning disabilities, autism, obesity and fertility problems—are not only on the rise, but have been linked to chemicals found in our daily lives.
That's why we're working to green our chemical system and decrease the risk of disease.
Reform the Toxic Substances Control Act
The Breast Cancer Fund has testified before the Senate and the House on the urgent need for chemicals policy reform so that we can make prevention of breast cancer a public health priorityLearn More

If you step into the Breakfast Room at Rienzi you might come across two guests of the house – Sir Francis and Lady Dashwood have been residing there for the past few months. Sir Francis and Lady Dashwood at West Wycomb Park, by Nathaniel Dance from 1776, is part of the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Collection, a collection of fine art on permanent display at the MFAH, and is on temporary loan to Rienzi.
We are lucky to host such a prominent couple at the museum. Sir Francis Dashwood, 2nd Baronet, was an infamous socialite in the days of "libertinism;" he was known for his extravagant parties and his practical jokes, and he was a devoted art enthusiast. He is most notorious for having founded the Hellfire Club, an exclusive circle of British gentlemen who met on the grounds of his estate and shared an interest in questionable activities. (The West Wycombe Caves where these meetings took place are now privately owned, but still available for visits.)
The couple is seated on the grounds of their estate, West Wycomb Park, in Buckinghamshire, England. Elegantly dressed for an afternoon outing, the Baronet is pictured alongside his wife who sits "tatting" lace in her lap, while a little black dog sits at their feet. Their storied home is shown in far the background, with one of many classical structures off to one side. Dashwood designed the home to be something of an 18th-century entertainment complex – complete with a "Temple of Music" and cascading man-made waterways. It was also where he displayed a lavish collection of art purchased while travelling abroad. The couple probably feel quite at home at Rienzi; the building itself, completed between 1740 and 1800, demonstrates both Palladian and Neoclassical architecture, and some interior design by Robert Adam. The estate was given to the National Trust of the UK in 1943 and remains in the care of the Dashwood family.
The painter of this endearing portrait is a similarly interesting character, and not surprisingly, a friend of the colorful Sir Francis. Nathaniel Dance was a successful history and portrait painter but gave up painting professionally upon inheriting a fortune in 1776, the year of this painting. He later married a rich widow, became a Baronet and a member of Parliament.

Can we tell you a secret? When we were kids, we collected snow globes. We had dozens of them (and may still have them, albeit packed away in the attic...mostly). We're kind of obsessed with all things globed, so the Mythical Mermaid Ring ($69) by HoKiou is right up our alley. The tiny mermaid sits daintily on her underwater rock, and though she may be more blonde than redheaded, we can't help but hum "Part of Your World" as we slip her onto our ring finger.
love the goble ring

The Clovis Wildcats will be running their hidden-back offense this year.
What is the hidden back offense? It's an offense where a very short running back runs behind a fairly large offensive line. The defense tries to find the running back, and before it can, that running back has gobbled up a lot of real estate.
It's unusual for the Clovis Wildcats to not make it to the state playoffs. It's highly unusual for them to not make the playoffs two straight years. That's what has happened to the Wildcats' vaunted program the past two seasons.
With only three returning starters coming back on each side of the ball, the Wildcats could be hard pressed to break the trend this season in their new-look district.
If they are to get in the playoffs, the Wildcats have a good man at quarterback to lead them, returning all-district senior quarterback Hank Baskett. Last year Baskett was deadly as a runner and worked hard on improving his passing game in the off-season.
The Wildcat defense must improve on last year's total of allowing three touchdowns per game. Noseguard John Jacobs and tackle Nathaniel Joy will have to be the foundation, and cornerback Robert Castillo will have to hold the secondary together.
Head coach: Eric Roanhaus, 23rd season, 209-72-5 at Clovis, 23rd overall season.
Nickname: Wildcats.
1999 Record: 6-5, 1-3 in District 4-4A.
Returning experience: 14 lettermen, including three offensive and three defensive starters.
Players to watch: Hank Baskett QB, Tyrone Phillips RB, Nathan Nutall, FB, Ishaun Pickney, TE, Scott Tweedy SS, Nathaniel Joy DT.
Promising newcomers: J.C.Pacheo SE, D.J.Jennings DT, Jason Zahnley, DE, Aaron Smith CB.
Basic offense: Multiple.
Basic defense: 50.
Playoff history: State championships: 1960, 1973, 1978, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1990, 1991, 1994.
Tyrone Phillips is very particular when it comes to his height. His coaches say he's 5-foot-3 or 5-foot-4, Phillips says he's 5-foot-6.
"Well, when I'm standing bare footed I'm 5-4, but when I put my shoes on, I'm 5-6," he said with a big smile creeping across his face.
No matter the height, the 145-pound senior jitterbug will be a vital cog in the Wildcats' offense. After a two-year hiatus from the playoffs, the Wildcats are hungry, and no one is hungrier than Phillips.
That's because last year Phillips had his season cut short by a knee injury midway through the season. Fortunately the injury didn't require surgery, but it ended his season.
In the first two games, Phillips played cornerback where he made 10 tackles and intercepted a pass. Then he was switched to the backfield where he and Milton Finch formed a formidable tandem. In the three games Phillips got to play, he gained 334 yards.
"I don't remember much about the play (that he got injured on). Then again, I'm not trying to remember it," he said." It felt like a stretch and a pop. I couldn't walk off the field. It was a scary feeling. I was wondering if I would ever play again."
He rehabilitated his knee in about four months, he said. Now the knee feels good.
Clovis assistant coach Darren Kelly praised Phillips' work habits.
"Tyrone Phillips has worked his butt off," said Kelly. "He'a a little kid, but he's very hard to knock off his feet. He bench-presses 285 pounds and does a really good job of being small. You can't find him behind the blockers. He doesn't have phenomenal breakaway speed, but he changes speed in a hurry. He's real quick. He's also our best cornerback."
Is there a chance he'll play both ways?
"I'll do whatever they want me to do," said Phillips. "If they need need me to play both ways, I'll play both ways. During football season I stay in real good shape. The main thing is I just want to win. We're real hungry this year and we've got some good senior leadership. I just want us to do well as a team."

I've never been a fan of the chopped-down smartphone variants, but would be totally lost without my WM6 pda. I use it to keep track of personal and work appts, contacts. The fact that it syncs with outlook for all this is invaluable for me. Winmobile 6 is ok, though not a huge step up from WM5, though it looks like MS is doing some major overhaulin for WM7.
WMDC(window mobile device center) on vista is great, a superior improvement over MS activesync(xp and earlier)
Might even be worth waiting for the WM7 generation phones negsun??
I have HTC touch, which I love the look and feel of. Whilst I manage ok for what I use it for, I recommend people get the dual core version, coz its quicker, and more effectively used as a mobile media device than the first gen version Ive got.
Easily the best site to keep track of all things WM and smartphone is

Enve has spent a lot of research and development time towards the improvement of the braking surface on their carbon rims. It stands to reason that an implicit part of their carbon braking system would also be the Enve Carbon Brake Pads.
With a goal of having a brake pad compound that will manage heat, minimize abrasion, and perform in wet conditions with Enve rims, the Carbon Brake Pads provide good enough performance to make you forget that you're not braking on a good old fashioned aluminum rim. And forget about any brake squealing; the interface between brake pad and rim will function so smoothly that you'll be able to slam on the brakes at a stoplight you thought you'd make and not have to worry about announcing your presence with the brake squealing like a pig.
Tested at length during the design process for the Smart Enve System wheelsets, the Enve Carbon Brake Pads will increase the longevity of the brake pad and the braking surface. Wet or dry, you can count on them to bring you to a stop without drama, and you'll have smooth modulation that will allow you to feather your brakes in the pack or 'round sweeping corners.
Note: This pair of pads is for one wheel. You'll need 2 pairs for your bike.

Do these have a pocket on the back side to accept a set screw? Can't tell from the picture.
they work
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I had a set of yellow pads and thought either something was wrong with my brakes or my Enve wheels - they just didn't stop all that well, and were too grabby when they did engage. Enter gray pads from the left - now my brakes work like they're supposed to, and should have been using the entire time.
Jason - not only are they the best performing pads for ENVE wheels, but they are also the only ones that keep the 5 year warranty intact.
A very excellent point to make note of!
must have
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
if your riding enve's just put them on. it will keep the rim from premature wear and they just work great, last a long time, that simple, put them on.
The Only Pad I'd Use on Enve Carbon Rims
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used Enve's pads for over a year now and wouldn't even consider going back to other OEM pads. They provide smoother deceleration, are more reliable, particulalrly in wet conditions and last longer than other brands. While the best I've tried, I find that the braking performance still does not match that of regular pads on an aluminum braking surface.

What's the next best thing to being a fly on the wall at the Second Vatican Council? For Melissa Wilde, Associate Professor of Sociology, it was being granted access to the Vatican Secret Archives. At work on her book Vatican II at the time, a study of the Council's passing of the biggest changes in the Church since the Reformation, it was essential Wilde examine not only the overall vote totals that had been released by the Vatican, but individual bishops' votes.
"I sent the Vatican archivist an email—no one had requested this information before. Luckily a non-cleric academic had replaced 'Bulldog,' the previous archivist who was known for his strict policies on access," Wilde laughs. "He sat me in a secure room with nothing but a pencil and opened the book to the elusive voting statistics—it was one of the most exciting moments in my research career."
Wilde, equipped with the data she gathered in Vatican City, spent the better part of two years building an electronic database. She then categorized the bishops' countries according to the prevalence and influence of Catholicism in them, and found four regions with very distinct votes: monopolistic countries such as Italy and Spain; formerly monopolistic countries in Latin America; countries with large Protestant populations like Germany, Netherlands, and the U.S.; and missionary countries in Africa and Asia.
"I sent the Vatican archivist an email—no one had requested this information before. Luckily a non-cleric academic had replaced 'Bulldog,' the previous archivist who was known for his strict policies on access. He sat me in a secure room with nothing but a pencil and opened the book to the elusive voting statistics—it was one of the most exciting moments in my research career." – Melissa Wilde
"The Second Vatican Council saw a decentralization of the Church because bishops from Europe and North America, who prioritized ecumenism (or bettering relations with Protestants), allied with those from Latin America, who prioritized economic justice and reaching the poor and unchurched. These same bishops also allied with missionary countries like Africa and Asia who supported ecumenical, justice and marketing-oriented reforms. As a result of these alliances, progressive reform dominated the council."
One of the most important reforms to pass, which Wilde discusses in Vatican II, was the Declaration of Religious Freedoms. The Declaration stated that all individuals had the right to choose their religion of worship, when previously Catholicism was seen as the only valid choice. Another such reform led to the easing of Catholic marriage annulments. Prior to the council, a Catholic divorcee was required to bring hard proof of marital transgression—refusal to procreate or deceptive practices, for example—to the annulment tribunal. Under reform, "love," specifically lack thereof, became an acceptable form of proof.
A recent American Sociological Review article entitled, "Religious Economy or Organizational Field? Predicting Bishops' Votes at the Second Vatican Council" examines two other Council votes that Wilde obtained that day in the Vatican Secret Archive: the vote on the Sources of Revelation from the first of the four council sessions and the first vote on the Blessed Virgin Mary from the second session.
One reform that didn't pass at the Council, and hasn't passed to this day, was birth-control liberalization. Wilde explains that this was likely a choice progressives made in order to avoid a hard sell in light of the other reforms they sought to pass, one they could make because Protestants were not altogether concerned about it at the time. Intrigued by her realization that birth control was not an issue of central importance to Protestant-Catholic relations in the 1960s, Professor Wilde began a broader examination of birth-control in the American religious field, one that took her even further back into history.
"The central question of my new research is, 'What series of events led to the American religious climate today, where sex and gender are the most divisive components?' The study of topics like birth-control liberalization, as well as other, newer rifts—abortion, for example—offers unique insight into the current religious landscape in America, and how different religious denominations use ideology to shape both secular and religious politics."
In a forthcoming paper, Wilde examines how beliefs in "race suicide" and the "social gospel" circa 1930 determined whether a religious group liberalized early on the issue of birth control. The Protestant Episcopal Church, for example, deemed itself progressive even though it sought the liberalization of birth-control as a means of limiting the birth-rate for "undesirables." This strategy was widely acknowledged in circulated literature.
"The birth rate among almost all Mainline Protestant denominations was either stagnant or diminishing. This phenomenon, referred to as 'race suicide,' saw the 'progressive' denominations using strategies that greatly differ from our definition of progressive today."
In addition to support for eugenics, Wilde also finds that in order for a group to openly pressure the government to liberalize on birth-control, they also needed to believe in the "social gospel"—an anti-poverty, community-focused movement that believed Jesus would only return for the second coming when poverty had been eradicated.
