I wanted something simple, something where I could use everything I already had. The only thing I had to pick up were some fresh sunflowers from the market.
I started with simple brown kraft paper instead of a table cloth, a staple in our house. I buy it by the roll at Uline. I already have our art supplies in mason jars labeled with cute diecut chalkboard labels from World Market. I pulled out the pencils and color pencils, grabbed a globe and some books from the kids' room. The cute Back to School bunting was a free download from Dimple Prints (link below). Apples from the fridge, and I quickly made up name tag flags in Illustartor (but you could just as easly use word). I used a black marker to draw little place mat, and wrote their grade next to their place setting.

Do you know of a formula or function that can calculate the real world height of a satellite image in degrees?
The image is from Google Static Maps and the image uses Mercator projection which makes calculating the height very difficult. I can successfully calculate the width but I don't know of a formula to calculate the height of the satellite image in degrees.
For the above image I know this information:
- Width= 400px
- Height= 400px
- Central mid point is: -32 Lat 151 Long
- Google's zoom value is 14
This is how I calculate the width which works:
// The reason I use 256 is because in google the whole earth fits inside 256 pixels
// when the zoom value is 0(zoom can be 0 > zoom < 25)
float meshWidthDeg = (imgWidth/256f)*(360f / Math.Pow(2f,zoom));

To the Editor:
We read with interest the article "Influence of gestational age, cesarean section, and type of feeding on fecal human α-defensins 2 and tumor necrosis factor-α" by Richter et al (1). Following this publication, we would like to report our longitudinal evaluation of human β-defensins 2 (hβD) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in stools of healthy preterm and term newborns, in relation to the method of delivery (cesarean section [CS] vs vaginal delivery [VD]), gestational age (GA), and type of feeding (breast-fed [BF], formula-fed [FF], breast- and formula-fed [BF and FF]).
We enrolled 39 preterm newborns (G1) (mean GA 31.2; mean birth weight 1870 g; 38 CS; 1 VD; 4 BF; 13 BF + FF; 22 FF) and 29 term newborns (G2) (mean GA 39.3; mean birth weight 3306 g; 12 CS; 17 VD; 23 BF; 2 BF + FF; 4 FF), and stool samples were collected on days 15, 30, and 60 in the G1 group and on days 3, 7, 15, and 30 in the G2 group. All of the samples were frozen at −20° until analysis. hβD and TNF-α were analyzed by commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (Immunodiagnostic, Bensheim, Germany; values: nanograms per milligram faeces). For statistical analysis, data were analyzed with the SAS package (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). Repeated measures analysis of variance was performed to evaluate the effect of time collection on TNF-α and hβD values in the 2 studied groups. Two-way analysis of variance models were used to evaluate the effect of delivery and feeding. A regression model was built to evaluate TNF-α and hβD values according to GA.
We found that mean TNF-α values did not vary during the period of stool collection both in preterm (P = 0.12) and in term newborns (P = 0.34), but TNF-α was higher in preterm a newborns (P < 0.001). TNF-α values also decrease with GA (P = 0.02). No differences were found related to both delivery (P = 0.11) and type of feeding (at 1 month) (P > 0.05).
Mean hβD values significantly differ both in G1 (increase from days 15–30 and then decrease until day 60; P < 0.0001) and in G2 (decrease from days 3–15 followed by stabilization until d30; P < 0.0001, as previously reported (2)). No significant differences in hβD values were found related to the method of delivery (P = 0.11) or type of feeding (after 1 month) (P > 0.05). Mean hβD values increased with GA, as reported by Richter et al (1).
We conclude that hβD and TNF-α are present in intestinal lumen in both preterm and term newborns. TNF-α was higher in preterm newborns and inversely related to GA. hβD increased from days 15 to 30 in preterm newborns and it is positively correlated to GA.
We have found different results compared with Richter et al (1), probably related to our longitudinal collection (days 3, 7, 15, 30, and 60) of stool samples. It could be interesting to understand whether higher TNF-α values and hβD increasing values in preterm newborns are the effect of the inflammatory condition of the gut or that of natural defense mechanisms.

Cyber Orientation 3 - Student Life
Hi, Members of the Class of 2017. This third cyber-orientation message focuses on our Student Life division. The links below will take you to sections of this website where you can learn more about all of the wonderful opportunities and resources available to you through Student Life at St. Lawrence.
Student Activities and Leadership is responsible for campus activities and organizations, including everything from entertainment to student government. You can find out more about the special leadership opportunities available for first-year students and how to get involved, both on and off-campus, in the "Opportunities" section of the NSG&F.
Want to know what is going on at SLU? Just go to SLUWire! You'll discover that within both academic and social circles of St. Lawrence, there is a lot that needs to be communicated. SLUWire is where you will find much of that information. SLUWire may be a little slow during the summer months, but as the school year begins, information on all the activities that make up student life circulate through SLUWire, so you'll want to, you'll need to, check it out regularly.
Diana B. Torrey '82 Health and Counseling Center offers both medical and counseling services to all students. You can find out more about the services available on the NSG&F, as well as additional health-related information, in the "Health & Counseling Services" section.
Additionally, our Sexual Assault Education ("Advocates") Program works to raise awareness and prevent acts of sexual violence. This program offers both resources for students and an opportunity to become involved on campus.
Our Safety and Security office is also here to provide a safe environment for St. Lawrence students. See additional information about safety and security on the NSG&F in the section on "Planning Ahead". Parking and transportation is also handled through this office, including shuttle vans and our vacation bus services.
The University Chaplain's Office assists students in building relationships among their intellectual, moral and religious/spiritual lives. As a team, the office seeks to provide an environment where students can explore various spiritual and religious traditions, discern or deepen their own spiritual path, or engage in conversation about important questions. We engage students, faculty, and staff in a broad based spiritual framework focusing on three primary goals: inviting inquiry, fostering wholeness, and teaching respect for all life.
The Career Services Office guides students through self-discovery, assists them in exploring their career options and developing their personal career plan, and teaches the professional skills necessary to attain their career goals. Of particular interest to first-year students are self-assessment appointments, resume workshops, the Shadow-a-Saint program, and internship opportunities.
SLU offers a variety of ways for you to become involved in your community: Community Based Learning (CBL), Internships, Volunteerism, etc. To learn more about CBL and how to "combine community engagement and service with course-based activities," you should explore the Center for Civic Engagement.
The mission of the Volunteer Services program is to create learning opportunities for students to develop, practice, and incorporate the principles of leadership and service. All programs are student-led, staff-supported, and deeply connected to the local community. There will be representatives from all the volunteer programs at the Student Activities Fair when you arrive to campus. Join us for an activity, and get to know your greater community!
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the liberal arts tradition, including St. Lawrence, is the fact that students live together on campus. Find out more about residential life at St. Lawrence by exploring "Your Living Arrangements" on the NSG&F, especially the Residence Life page. You can also visit the Residence Life website.
Students don't just live together at SLU; they eat together, too! And they eat well. We have excellent dining services at SLU, which some of you have already found out on your visits to campus. Find out more about the meal plan options available in the "Dining Options" section of the NSG&F.
And as you prepare to move to campus this August, you will find the "Planning Ahead" section of the NSG&F very useful. It includes information on what to pack, living "green" at SLU (including a link to our "green shopping list") and much more.
One last note: as part of the First-Year Cup Festival—the kick-off event for the First-Year Cup —your FYP will be competing in an Alma Mater contest. Get a jump on the competition and check out this link to the SLU alma mater and several other St. Lawrence songs.
And while you are planning ahead, don't forget to mark your calendar for Family Weekend, October 4-6, 2013. You may view the schedule for the weekend, but please check back often for updates as we will continue to add events. We understand that accommodations for that weekend can be challenging so we've compiled a list of local, private accommodations to assist you. We would also like to inform you that this fall the main highway through Canton will be under construction, so be sure to allow extra travel time for getting to campus and/or your accommodations. We will continue to update you as the dates get closer.
I hope you're continuing to enjoy your summer and looking forward to seeing you all on campus in only a few short weeks.

The OEM mats that a car comes with are thin,and really are a simple cover for the carpeting. We usually use a rubber mat to hold water, dirt etc, but they are not the best for appearence. The Lloyd mat are very rich looking and made a great looking interior even better. So far doing its job of capturing dirt and water. We are so impressed we are ordering for the wifes car.

They are nice and they fit well. I don't know what the holes in the bottom end are for? Maybe some models have mounting for the mats. I don't like UPS. I would prefer shipping via US MAIL! UPS had me wait all day for two days for the delivery. I was getting ready to stop payment but they came and I like the mats. I need bumper fillers for the same car, got any? And I am gonna order the front plate.

This information is to address questions most often asked regarding Sheriff's Sales, and explain general procedures regarding tax foreclosures. If there are specific procedural questions not addressed herein, we would be happy to address them upon further inquiry (other than requests for legal advice). For specific factual information regarding a case, please see the court file for that case at the Clerk's Office in the Courthouse.
Sheriff's Sales:
Sheriff's Sales for both private (i.e., lender) foreclosures and tax foreclosures are held on Fridays at 10:30 a.m. in the Licking County Courthouse, basement lobby, by advance scheduling of the Sheriff's Office. Parcels are bid competitively, beginning at an advertised minimum bid. These sales are advertised in The Advocate (Newark, Ohio). Such ads are typically run in the Thursday edition. As the ads run several times, a potential buyer who regularly reads the Thursday legal notices should see all applicable sales over time. Neither the Sheriff's Office nor the Treasurer's Office prepares or maintains a mailing list of all properties scheduled for sale. The information would change weekly and these offices cannot undertake such weekly mailings. The Sheriff's Office posts all scheduled sales individually on the bulletin board at the Licking County Justice Center. The Licking County Treasurer's Office posts a list of scheduled tax foreclosure sales only, as well as displaying this list on the county website at www.LCOUNTY.COM at the page for County Treasurer, Delinquent Tax Dept.
Finality of Sale:
For tax foreclosures, once property is sold at Sheriff's Sale, the sale does not become final until the Confirmation Entry is filed, usually approximately one month later. In other words, the property owner may still come in and redeem the property by paying the delinquent taxes, assessments and court costs. Once the Confirmation Entry is filed, the property owner's right of redemption is cut off. Please note, however, that a separate issue involves federal tax liens. A federal tax lien itself will be extinguished by the Confirmation Entry, but there is a separate right of redemption accorded to the Federal Government by statute, which entitles it to come in and claim real property any time within 120 days after the date of sale. If this should occur, the buyer's payment is returned, however, the Federal Government is not required to pay for any permanent improvements made to such property in the meantime. Once 120 days have passed, the statutory right expires. If there are federal tax liens, the published notice of sale should indicate this.
Terms of Sale:
For tax foreclosures, a minimum bid will be set, which is the amount of the delinquent taxes, assessments and court costs. The amount of the minimum bid must be paid the day of the sale by certified check or money order. (This check can be obtained immediately after the sale, by permission of the Sheriff's office, to alleviate the need to bring a check merely on the chance that property will be purchased.) If the property brings more than the minimum bid, the balance of the purchase price must be paid upon confirmation of sale. PLEASE NOTE that failure or refusal to pay for real property after purchase at sheriff's sale will subject the buyer to punishment for contempt of court.
For bank foreclosures, the terms of sale vary according to the bank, but should be included for review in the publication of sale.
Purchase by Mail:
No procedures currently exist for registration of buyers or submission of bids by mail. Interested parties must attend personally or by representative at the sale.
Possession of Property:
Property purchased at Sheriff's Sale does not truly belong to the buyer until confirmation of sale has been filed with the Court. Therefore, the buyer should NOT exercise any dominion or control over the property, such as demolition, construction, or harassment of tenants. Any such dominion or control is strictly at the buyer's risk.
Once the confirmation entry has been filed and the purchase price has been paid, the buyer will receive a Sheriff's Deed.
Condition of Title Following Sale:
Generally speaking, in accordance with applicable law, most liens are released when property is sold at tax foreclosure (with the exceptions of federal tax liens, and taxes and assessments levied but not yet due and payable). However, please note that the Licking County Treasurer makes no representations of title in specific situations, and is not a source of title information. If you wish to be certain as to the status of title, you are urged to conduct your own title search or consult your own attorney.
Pro-ration of Taxes:
By law, there is NO pro-ration of taxes on a property sold at sheriff's sale. This seems to be a pitfall for many an unwary buyer. The law requires taxes and assessments to be paid from the proceeds of sale that are "due and payable." Since taxes are paid one year in arrears in Ohio, the taxes for the year in which the property is purchased are not actually "due and payable" until after January 1 of the following year. Whereas in most private sales there is a pro-ration and a credit is given the buyer against the taxes to be paid by him the following year, this is not in accordance with the law governing sheriff's sales. The buyer gets no credit for the calendar year in which the purchase is made. Obviously, early in the year this is of little significance, but as the year progresses the significance becomes greater. Even if, for example, a buyer purchases a property in mid-October and the deed transfers in late December, the buyer WILL owe the real estate taxes and assessments for the entire calendar year in which he purchased the property, when those taxes are billed to him the following year. Please take this point into consideration when determining the amount to bid on the property if it is a concern.
Special Assessments:
Please note that properties sold at sheriff's sales are not sold "free and clear" of any ongoing or uncertified special assessments. For example, if the parcel is subject to a thirty-year ongoing sewer assessment, and there are twenty years remaining that have not become due and payable, the buyer WILL be responsible to pay those twenty years of assessments as they continue to come due, just as the buyer is responsible to pay real estate taxes when they come due. Also note that in some cases there may be special assessments not due at the time of sale simply because they have not yet been certified to the auditor by the applicable sewer and water district, but which may later be certified to the auditor in the ordinary course of the district's business after the sale occurs. Examples of this would be delinquent sewer and water monthly charges not paid by the previous landowner. By law, the auditor is without authority to refuse to certify such charges against the parcel; therefore, they will show up against the new owner as an unanticipated expense of ownership. It will be entirely up to the buyer to either pay these special assessments or work out any issues in this regard with the applicable sewer and water district. In order to minimize the impact of this potential issue, it is best for an interested buyer to inquire to the applicable sewer and water district, before bidding at a sale, as to whether there are unpaid monthly assessments being carried against the property.
No copy of the county or state statutes or rules regarding tax or private foreclosures is available for purchase through the Licking County Treasurer or Licking County Prosecutor.
Unsold Properties:
Licking County uses the forfeited land procedure in accordance with applicable law, for properties remaining unsold after tax foreclosure. The annual Auditor's Sale is generally held in early September. A few weeks before sale, properties will be listed on the county's website and advertised in the paper once a week for two weeks.
The information contained in this memorandum is not intended to constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. The Licking County Treasurer is not an attorney and cannot give legal advice. The Licking County Prosecutor is not permitted to give legal advice to the general public. The information contained in this memorandum is in general, procedural terms only, is not directed to any specific parcel(s) or situation(s), and any information contained herein may or may not be applicable in specific situations. If you have questions regarding a specific situation, you are urged to contact your own attorney. If you have questions seeking specific information about a specific case, please review the case file at the Clerk's Office in the courthouse.
This information has been prepared by the office of the Licking County Prosecutor in conjunction with the Licking County Treasurer. We hope this information will prove beneficial. A copy of this information, and the scheduled tax foreclosure sales, is available on the county's website at LCOUNTY.COM.
Delinquent Manufactured Homes
This information has been prepared by the office of the Licking County Prosecutor in conjunction with the Licking County Treasurer. We hope this information will prove beneficial. A copy of this information, and the scheduled tax foreclosure sales, is available on the county's website at LCOUNTY.COM.
The Licking County Treasurer monitors and forecloses upon delinquent manufactured homes in Licking County, especially those with delinquencies near the top of the list. Typically, a collection letter is first sent, giving the owner a chance to take action. If the letter is ignored, a foreclosure action is filed in court to enforce collection of the tax.
Many people seem unaware that all manufactured homes in Ohio are subject to the manufactured home tax, which is similar to real estate tax. This is NOT the sales tax that may be paid when the home is purchased. This is an annual tax paid to the county treasurer and is based upon the value of the home. The tax becomes a lien on the manufactured home on January 1 of each year, and is due from the person whose name appears on the title. If the owner does not pay the tax, the tax is a lien against the home itself, together with penalties and interest, until paid in full. By law, the Treasurer has a first priority lien, even ahead of the purchase-money lender, for this tax.
When a manufactured home is transferred, all delinquent taxes must be paid before the title can be transferred. Further, it is illegal to move a manufactured home from its current location without proof that the manufactured home taxes are paid current.
If you are a manufactured home owner who is delinquent in your manufactured home taxes, please be aware that you can be subject to action by the Licking County Treasurer to collect the tax by the forced sale of your home. The Treasurer's Office will make an effort to work with you, and will provide payment plan options to assist you in bringing the taxes current. If a foreclosure action is filed, you may stop the foreclosure action by paying the delinquency plus court costs. It is cheaper, however, to pay the taxes or enter into a payment plan with the Treasurer before the delinquency gets large enough to warrant the filing of a foreclosure.
If you wish to enter a payment plan or have questions about this procedure, please call the Licking County Treasurer's Office at (740) 670-5019. Please consult your own attorney for legal advice in regard to any specific situation.

Most advanced computer users know that you can't compare CPU speed by just comparing the clock speed, but that other factors are involved (only one of which is multicore, but that's easy to understand). However, this makes it hard to compare processors when all you known (from advertisements or comparison lists) is their clock speed.
Isn't there an absolute unit to indicate CPU speed? Is it flops?
- If there is, why isn't it used in consumer-friendly material and marketing?
- If there isn't, why not?

Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz today chaired the regular weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers, and expressed appreciation of the continued spontaneous patriotic feelings displayed by citizens in open meetings nationwide that reflect the strong solidarity between the people and the leadership against the deviant group and threats against the Kingdom's security and stability. The Crown Prince, praising the citizens' loyalty to their country and commending the courage of the security officers, reiterated Saudi Arabia's determination to confront terrorism.
On the Palestinian issue, the Cabinet deplored the continued silence of international organizations, especially those dealing with human rights, concerning Israel's inhuman treatment of Palestinian detainees, whose tragic situation he urged the international community to look into, and to hold Israel, as the occupying power, responsible for all its crimes against them, and bring those who perpetrated these crimes to justice, to be tried as war criminals. On Iraq, the Cabinet welcomed the peaceful solution reached in Najaf, and expressed the hope that this will be the beginning of stability and peace in that country.
Turning to domestic affairs, the Cabinet passed a number of resolutions, including authorization for the Minister of Islamic Affairs, Endowments, Call and Guidance or his deputy to discuss with the Moroccan side a draft memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs of the Kingdom of Morocco; approval of the draft agreement signed on July 22, 2003 with the European Commission concerning privileges and immunities for its officials in Riyadh; and approval of a memorandum of scientific and educational cooperation between the Kingdom's Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of the Republic of the Sudan which was signed in Khartoum on April 17, 2004.

Asking the best type of dehumidifier is kind of like asking the best model of hunting rifle. Everyone has their preferences, and everyone finds a certain style fits them best.
In the case of dehumidifiers, it's good to start by choosing either a desiccant or electric type.
If you don't have a lot of moisture problems, and if an electrical connection is not available or too difficult to access, then the desiccant option might be the right choice for you.
The Browning Sacc Dry Zone is a vented box of moisture-absorbing material, much like the little packets you find in foods or medicine, but on a much larger scale. This is also similar to the RV and closet packs you can find at retail stores, with one important exception—the Browning pack can be recharged in the oven. That means that should the pack ever absorb to its capacity, you can place it in a warm oven to dry and reactivate it. You can repeat this process indefinitely. No electricity, no fuss, no problem. The Dry Zone protects up to 37 cubic feet of space, about the volume of a standard 30-inch-wide safe. This product retails for $34.95
For an even more convenient desiccant solution, try the Eva-Dry E-333 dehumidifier. With this product, the desiccant crystals are enclosed in a plastic body, and recharging is achieved by plugging the unit into an outlet. Convenient color-changing bars indicate when the crystals are spent and in need of reactivation. The lifespan of this product is up to 10 years. The Eva-Dry is rated for 333 cubic feet, and is eco-friendly and non-toxic. Retail price $34.95
If you have more challenging moisture problems, or changes in temperature extremes that come from keeping your safe in a non-climate controlled area such as a shop or garage, think about investing in an electric dehumidifier. They are only a few dollars more than desiccant-type units, but provide more aggressive moisture control.
The Browning EverDry electric dehumidifier is an 18-inch-long bar that plugs into a standard outlet. Most safes have a hole in the back or side to allow for the cord, which detaches from the unit for installation. This unit should be used on safes 30 inches wide or larger to avoid touching the sides of the safe. The EverDry retails for $39.95
Another option in electric dehumidifiers is the Browning Flexible EverDry. This unit is flat and flexible, and can be bent around the corners and contents of your safe. Like the bar unit, the cord on the Flexible is removable to help with installation. This products retails for $49.95
Ultimately, the decision on the best gun safe dehumidifier is an individual choice, but these suggestions should give you some idea of what's on the market. These models are available at http://www.gunsafes.com/store/Search.aspx?SearchTerms=dehumidifiers

International poets Andrew Zawacki and Donna Stonecipher will read their poems at the Kennedy Chapel on the University of West Georgia campus on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. A book signing will follow the reading. The event is free and the community is invited to attend.
Both poets will visit creative writing classes throughout the day to speak with student writers about the creative process and publishing their work.
Aside from being a Rhodes and Fulbright Scholar, Zawacki has authored three poetry books, including "By Reasons of Breaking," which won the University of Georgia Contemporary Poetry Series Competition in 2001.
Other achievements include past fellowships from the Bogliasco Foundation in Italy, the Hawthornden Castle in Scotland and the Salzburg Seminar in Austria. He also co-edits Verse, an international poetry magazine, and teaches English and creative writing at UGA.
Stonecipher received a master of fine arts degree from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop, the first creative writing degree program in the U.S., and went on to write three books of poetry. Her first book, "The Reservoir," also won the UGA Contemporary Poetry Series Competition and her latest book of poems, "The Cosmopolitan," won the 2007 National Poetry Series.
Stonecipher's translations of French and German poetry have appeared in multiple journals as well as the New European Poets anthology. She currently lives in Athens and is earning a doctorate at UGA. She has a second home in Berlin.
The readings are the second installment of the Creative Writing program's 2008-09 UWG Reading Series. Both Stonecipher and Zawacki are poets of rich verbal textures and their shared interest in foreign places and tongues heavily impact their poetry, said Dr. Chad Davidson, associate professor of English and the Creative Writing Program coordinator.
"They are artists deeply invested in language's power to transform the world and our places in it," said Davidson. "Their poetries, in fiercely individual ways, seek to recapture some of that paradox and mystery within the language we use every day."
For more information, contact Davidson at email@example.com or call 678-839-4865.

Our website is current running on a intel Xeon 2.3GHz that is about 5 or 6 years old with 8GB.
The website is current getting around 2,000 visitor per day. Running on windows 2008 R2 Web edition. The database is hosted on another server.
For time to time the website gets very slow, when there a lot of members at the same time. So I would like to know what is the best way to improve the website speed.
So far here is what I did.
- All static files (images, css, video) are hosted on amazon S3 account.
- We are current running the websites on a 6mbps T1 (4 T1s bounded)
I was planing on getting an instance on Amazon EC2. My question is can I setup a load balance from my server in the office and the Amazon EC2 instance? Since Amazon lets you start and stop the instance when you need, so I was planing only on using it when the website gets really busy.

I remember my mom didn't talk to me until I was about 10 or so. Personally, I don't think I'd wait that long w/ my children. I have boys (ages 5 & 4), and they've already inquired about certain things. I think when they're old enough to better understand, I'll explain more. However, for now, I just answer their questions in simple terms w/out getting into too much detail. I feel it's important to use the proper terminology, though, even w/ young children, so they don't get confused or misinformed.
Kids learn faster than we think, and by the time they come with questions they will know the answers by themselves they would just want to see your reaction. I can't tell you how many times I was taken aback by a childs question. If the question is age appropiate I will answer it. If not I usually will answer something like "a clever child doesn't talk about everything he/she knows." Or " its not nice for a child to talk adult talk."
Good luck
i have 5 kids i just raise them open we dont always talk about it but we are open about it in our family ,you have to talk with them my youngest a 9 yr old girl has been told some things at public school but she has always come to me and asked i dont give more detail than needed i keep it plain and straight to the point i do not make up pet names for any parts i was told by her doctor to do all of the above and it has worked great for all my children my oldest 22 has even said he always knew he could tell me anything ,that always makes a parent feel great ,just be honest with kids they understand more than we give them credit for.

In this installment of Burning Questions, I talk with Ian Mortimer, bestselling author of The Time Traveler's Guide to Medieval England, a distinguished historian of medieval and early modern England, and a novelist writing under the name James Forrester. Ian has written elsewhere about the potential of historical fiction as a compelling and unique lens upon the past. Here we discuss in particular the role of imagination in historical writing, whether academic or fictional: the use of language "to create senses of drama, light and dark in the narrative," as he puts it, as well as fiction's heuristic power to explore the motivations and characters of historical actors.
As his diverse writings suggest (here is a great one on the art of creative non-fiction), Ian is devoted to demonstrating (not just asserting) how the two genres of historical fiction and academic history ultimately complement one another. As he points out, there are 3500 professional historians in the UK alone, many of them teaching history as a public enterprise, and the historical novelist has an equally important role to play in this broader reconstruction and reimagination of the past. The conversation concludes with a glimpse at Ian's current project, a short "ideas book" on the concept of historical change over the last millennium.
Not surprisingly, a fascinating conversation. As always, enjoy!

A sea of green
By Maureen Foley 04/12/2007
Always remember to follow the money. Especially when weighing the pros and cons of BHP Billiton's plan to build a floating liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal off the Oxnard (and Malibu) coastline. In the end, money doesn't lie. And it is money that is fueling this entire project. After all, why would an Australian company bother to spend so much money on plans to build a facility along a delicate coastal ecosystem thousands of miles away from its headquarters?
Answer: Money.
And why would various local chambers of commerce support a project that had so many clear environmental hazards associated with it? Why would the people whose health would be in jeopardy due to the LNG facility's pollution problems promote such a project?
Answer: Money.
Unfortunately, both the local chambers and BHP Billiton are only looking at the short-term financial gain of having such a project built nearby. In order to truly follow the money, take a look at some of the larger money-related questions surrounding the proposed facility.
Some studies indicate that the facility could generate large amounts of water, air (affecting people) and noise pollution (affecting migrating whales). What would be needed to mitigate the problems that arise due to the LNG plant's pollution?
Answer: Money.
There are also those who state that having a major natural gas processing facility locally presents a perfect target for terrorists. The site is like a large-scale bomb, just waiting off the coast to be detonated. What will it take to make sure that the plant is effectively protected from threats by intruders?
Answer: Money.
Finally, BHP Billiton has said that it will try to offset some of the water pollution problems by converting some of the ships that will be constantly stopping at the plant to natural gas engines (from diesel). But what will be necessary to convert those engines?
Answer: Money.
Making a large profit is no doubt driving BHP Billiton's holy grail quest to build this LNG facility. (And the hope to share in those profits is clearly why some local chambers feel compelled to support the project.) However, there are many costs related to the LNG project that are not being accounted for, such as the cost of pollution, the cost of safety and the cost of preserving coastal beauty. And what is the monetary value of those things?
Answer: Priceless.

OnLive's service will also be available for television sets through a purportedly low-priced �MicroConsole� a fraction the size of traditional consoles. It would be subscription-based, though there are not many details aside from that. They'll be launching the service this year, and apparently already have deals going with companies like EA, Take Two, Eidos and more.
They face a tremendous amount of obstacles to overcome, for sure. The Internet infrastructure worldwide certainly doesn�t yet seem capable of delivering what they expect it to and the fact that it will be a closed system will also set them back a bit � there's already a huge installed base of PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 gamers and more that play online. Still, the concept itself is interesting. What's your take, could such a system be effective?

Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver, resulting in liver cell damage and destruction. Alcoholic hepatitis is a complex problem and is a precursor to chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. If an individual develops alcoholic hepatitis and abstains from drinking, the inflammation is often reversible over time. However, if the individual has already developed cirrhosis, the liver disease can progress rapidly to liver failure.
The following are the most common symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of alcoholic hepatitis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for alcoholic hepatitis may include the following:
Specific treatment for alcoholic hepatitis will be determined by your physician based on:
The individual with alcoholic hepatitis may be admitted to the hospital or treated on an outpatient basis. Abstinence from alcohol is essential for reversing the hepatitis. This is a complex problem that may require an alcohol treatment program. There is no medication to cure alcoholic hepatitis; therefore, treatment involves reducing the symptoms and halting the progression of the disease.

AMHERST, Mass. - The IWLCA announced today the rosters for the annual North-South All-Star Game which will held on June 7 at Cabrini College in Radnor, Pa. UMass women's lacrosse seniors Tanner Guarino, Kelsey McGovern and Kelsey Sheridan were each selected to take part in the event.
Between the three NCAA Divisions (I, II and III), the IWLCA honored 132 student-athletes with selection to the All Star rosters. The Division I game will begin at 11:30 AM followed by the Division II (12:45 PM) and the Division III (2:00 PM) games.
The honor for the UMass trio comes on the heels of the group earning All-Region honors just two weeks ago. Sheridan was named to the All-Region First Team, while Guarino and McGovern were All-Region Second Team honorees.
Guarino leaves UMass as the all-time leader in games played at 82. She finished her career with 99 goals and 149 points along with 112 groundballs, 67 caused turnovers and 82 draw controls. In addition to her All-Region honors, Guarino was a three-time All-Atlantic 10 selection earning first team honors in 2013 and 2014 along with second team accolades in 2012.
McGovern joined Sheridan as a keystone of the UMass defense in addition to being the Minutewomen's primary draw taker. The native of Acton, Mass., finished her career with a UMass record 201 draw controls. That mark was highlighted by her setting the single-season program mark in 2013 with 110 draw controls. She played in 76 career games adding 59 caused turnovers, 76 groundballs, 10 goals and five assists to her resume. McGovern was also an All-Atlantic 10 First Team pick in 2013 and 2014 and named to the All-Academic Team in each of those seasons as well.
Sheridan anchored a defense which ranked second nationally in 2014 in goals allowed. On just three occasions did the Minutewomen surrender 10-or-more goals throughout the year. Sheridan led UMass in caused turnovers (27) and groundballs (46) while ranking among the team leaders in draw controls (46). The speedy and athletic senior was also key in UMass' transition play where the Minutewomen averaged nearly 85 percent on clearing opportunities, while holding the opposition to just 57 percent. The native of Chelmsford, Mass., was an Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team selection and also earned A-10 All-Academic honors in 2014.
This past season, UMass won its sixth consecutive Atlantic 10 championship title before falling to Loyola in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Minutewomen's 18 wins were the third most in program history. UMass made its eighth trip overall to the NCAA Tournament and the fourth in as many years.
The 2014 senior class made up of Guarino, McGovern, and Sheridan along with Melissa Carelli, Shannon Defliese, Katie Ferris, Courtney McGrath, and Sam Rush leave UMass as the all-time winningest senior class in program history. The class posted a 72-10 overall record through four years which was the second most wins among NCAA teams heading into the NCAA Tournament. The class also posted a perfect 38-0 record against Atlantic 10 teams which included four perfect regular-season slates and four runs through the Atlantic 10 Championship tournament.

Haemotrophic mycoplasmas (also known as haemoplasmas), small bacterias which parasite the surface of erythrocytes, have been described in several species. Recently, molecular methods were developed for the diagnosis of haemoplasma infection. The presented study describes the first detection and the investigation of prevalence of "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemolamae" in South American Camelids in Switzerland. A random sample of the latter population was tested for haemoplasma infections using real-time PCR. The infection was detected in 18.6% of the animals and was found both in indigenous and in imported camelids. Of the tested herds 39,1% harboured at least one animal positive for haemoplasmas in PCR. There was no difference in prevalence between male and female animals and llamas and alpacas, respectively. Furthermore, the prevalence of infection was not significantly different in diseased animals compared to healthy camelids. From the latter observation and the fact that the high prevalence was accompanied by an undetectable incidence, we concluded that the pathogenicity of "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemolamae" may be low.

Increase Driven by Liver Cancer Development in Baby Boomers
HCV is the most common blood-borne infection and cause of liver disease requiring transplantation in the U.S., chronically infecting more than one percent of Americans. Previous studies show that among patients living with chronic HCV, 10% to 20% will develop cirrhosis and up to 5% will progress to liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma; HCC). Further evidence implicates HCV as the primary risk factor for developing HCC in up to 47% of cases of patients with HCC.
The peak U.S. HCV prevalence of 4% occurred in those born in 1940 through 1965, who were 20 to 30 years of age during 1979 to 1989, when HCV infection risk was at its highest. As this population ages, Davis et al. project that between 2000 and 2030 cirrhosis in patients with HCV will increase two-fold, from 472,000 to 879,000. Moreover, Wise et al. suggests HCV-related deaths will increase in Americans 55 to 64 years of age by 2004.
"The dire projections in HCV complications spurred our investigation of age-specific trends in liver transplantation demand," said lead author Dr. Scott Biggins with the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, Colo. For the present study, researchers identified all adult liver transplant candidates who were registered with the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) between 1995 and 2010. Patients were then classified with the diagnosis of HCV, with or without HCC.
Results show there were 126,862 new candidates for first liver transplant registered with OPTN, with 41% of these having HCV. Candidates were categorized by birth year and found that the highest HCV frequency (in decreasing order) were those born in 1951-1955, 1956-1960, 1946-1950, and 1941-1945. These four birth groups represent 81% of all new liver transplant registrants with HCV.
Furthermore, findings indicate that between 2000 and 2010 there was a four-fold increase in new transplant candidates with HCV and HCC in the 1941 to 1960 birth cohorts. The authors anticipate an increase in the proportion of new registrants, 60 years and older, with HCV will have liver cancer.
"Over the coming decade the aging of those infected with HCV will challenge the transplant community to reconsider current treatment plans given the projected increase in liver transplantation demand, particularly from patients with HCV and liver cancer," concludes Dr. Biggins. "With the aging of the population of patients with HCV, many of these patients may not be healthy enough for transplantation and the number of liver transplants in patients with HCV may decrease."

Born in Pennsylvania, now living in Arizona, by way of Florida, I have always loved creating art in some form or another. I begin with an idea(or the idea finds me), and I create as I go along, not really knowing what the end result will be. But first there is the adventure of hunting for items at estate sales, thrift stores, and even in dumpsters (trash is simply a failure of imagination). In the 1990's I made original art teddy bears and later soft dolls (I love fiber of any kind). Now I'm creating art mostly relating to fantasy and steampunk, whether it is in the form of jewelry, wall art, standing assemblage, bears, dolls, or of things yet to come. I especially love recycling found or unwanted objects into art.

Reality TV star Jade Goody says she took crack cocaine from her addict mum and smoked it in front of her in an attempt to rid the drug from their lives.
But the dramatic gesture failed to cure Jackiey and made the former Big Brother contestant sick.
The mother-of-two reveals the incident in her autobiography Jade: Catch A Falling Star.
Goody, 27, has always condemned crack and heroin abuse after her father died of a suspected overdose at 42.
She said: "I decided to show (Jackiey) how nasty and heartbreaking it was to see a member of your family - your own flesh and blood - killing themselves in front of your very eyes.
"I'd foolishly thought that if she could see what it looked like - and if she thought that her own daughter was about to go to the same dark place she was - she would put a stop to it."
Goody, who was a 20-year-old dental student at the time, said she felt "dirty and disgusting" and was violently ill immediately after the incident.
She revealed it left her so upset that she banged her head against a wall in frustration.
"I pulled my hair out till my scalp was red raw and pinched my skin until it went purple."
Goody became embroiled in a race row after angry clashes with Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity Big Brother.
She now believes her past tendency towards rage stems from her parents' drug abuse.
The star, whose boyfriend Jack Tweed is currently in jail for assault, said the advert seeking contestants for Big Brother had thrown her a lifeline - a chance to escape drugs.
Her autobiography follows the revelation last month that she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer.

China Imports An Impressive 116.4 Tonnes Of Gold In July 2013
Gold Silver Worlds: China just released their latest gold import figures for the month of July. China imported through Hong Kong 116.4 tonnes of physical gold in July of 2013. That figure comes on top of the 517.92 tonnes of gold imports in the first 6 months of this year. In total, between January and July of this year, China imported a staggering 633.94 tonnes of physical gold. The country is indeed on its way to reach 1,000 tonnes of imports over the whole year, as forecasted by the World Gold Council in their Q2 gold demand report.
To put this figure into perspective: the largest gold fund available to Western investors (the GLD) today is backing it's paper with 919 tonnes of physical gold. GLD is by far the largest gold ETF. China on its own has imported 2/3d of that in the first 7 months of this year.
The chart below shows how July saw the second largest gold imports in a single month since the start of this bull market (and probably in history). There is a reason why we are spending so much attention on these figures.

In addition, Bloomberg noted that "Net imports, after deducting flows from China into Hong Kong, were 113 metric tons, from 101 tons a month earlier, according to calculations by Bloomberg. Mainland buyers purchased 129 tons in July, including scrap, compared with 113 tons in June, data from the Hong Kong government showed today."

Tulsa Utica Square P.F. Chang's included in dates, locations of security breach
P.F. Chang's China Bistro Ltd. alerted customers and the public Monday that a data breach involving customers' credit and debit cards affected 33 locations in the U.S. including Tulsa's Utica Square location.
On its website, the restaurant says customers' credit and debit cards may have been compromised between Feb. 21 and June 11, 2014 at the 1978 E. 21st Street location.
The company's investigation is ongoing.
P.F. Chang's said the problem has been contained, and it has been securely processing credit and debit card data since June 11, a day after the U.S. Secret Service flagged a possible security problem. It hasn't been determined whether any specific customer's data was stolen.
The breach was first disclosed in June, as the investigation began with third-party forensics experts and the Secret Service.
RELATED: What you should do if you're concerned your information was stolen
According to the company, data exposed and potentially stolen includes card numbers, cardholder names and expiration dates.
Some of the suspected breaches date back to October 19, 2013.
A list of affected locations, as well as suspected dates of the breaches and a statement from P.F. Chang's CEO Rick Federico, is available here.
As Target did with its infamous breach, P.F. Chang's is providing identity protection services for those who may have been affected.

No Pei Wei restaurants were affected by this security compromise.

« We haven't evolved as far as I thought. | Main
| Death of the suburbs? »
Here is the breakdown:
The commission voted against the move by a 4-3 margin.
Those opposed were: Mayor Rich Crotty, Fred Brummer, Mildred Fernandez and Linda Stewart.
Those in favor: Bill Segal, Tiffany Moore Russel and Teresa Jacobs.
Congratulations to the 4 who voted against the School Board's obnoxious try at destroying a community! I am very much disappointed in our own Teresa Jacobs for voting to let the school board have its way. Teresa is almost always right on target with her votes.

Baku preferred host of 2020 Olympics: poll
Baku leads by landslide among the six cities bidding to host the 2020 Olympic Games, a public opinion poll has found, according to Azerbaijan's Ministry of Youth and Sports.
Asked by GamesBids.com, an Olympic bid news and information website, which country they would like to host the tournament, 50.63 percent of respondents cited the Azerbaijani capital. With 10,252 votes, Baku surpassed Istanbul (16.29 percent), Tokyo (12.86 percent), Madrid (10.89 percent), Doha (5.61 percent), and Rome (3.72 percent).
GamesBids.com is one of the most influential websites providing information on preparations for the Olympic Games, the process of selecting their hosts and bidding cities, Konul Nurullayeva, the CEO of the Baku 2020 Bid Committee, said while commenting on the outcomes of the poll. Nurullayeva expressed confidence that these results would be taken into consideration by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) members during the selection of the city to host the 2020 Olympics.
The subscribers of the GamesBids.com website include 129 national Olympic committees, as well as international media outlets and IOC members.
According to a poll conducted in Azerbaijan in December 2011, 95 percent of the citizens support conduct of the 2020 Olympics in Baku. 93 percent of those polled said they believed this would boost the development of sports in the country. 30 percent said they would volunteer to help organize the tournament.
In April, the IOC executive committee will determine countries which will proceed to the next stage of the Olympics host's selection. The decision will be formally announced on May 20-25 in Quebec, Canada.
Following a two-stage selection, the IOC will announce the host city on September 7, 2013 in Buenos Aires.
Baku earlier submitted its bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, but the IOC selected the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro as the host.
