If you get migraines you know how laughable it is to hear them described as "headaches."

People have been trying to tame the migraine beast for thousands of years. Some early healers bored holes into their patients' skulls, the Greeks inhaled the smoke of burning coffee ... Read More

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- There are new developments in the criminal cases against two Northern California women whose young daughters were suffocated in separate incidents.
Tiffany Lopez of Oakland was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison Tuesday for the 2010 slaying of her toddler, 2-year-old Kamilah Russell. The sentence was part of a pea deal with prosecutors reached when the 22-year-old Lopez pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
She told investigators she put her hand over the girl's nose and mouth because she was frustrated with Kamilah's crying.
In Santa Cruz on Tuesday, an October trial date was set for Veva Virgil, a 41-year-old woman who has pleaded not guilty by reason for insanity in the 2008 smothering death of her daughter, 3-year-old Isabella Martinez.
Virgil was arrested after she went to a hospital and reported she had sent her baby to heaven.

This is a discussion on Concealed S&W 500 4" within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by puncho Anyone carry a S&W 500 in a 4" barrel? I'm thinking about getting one as my primary carry gun. I hope ...
The S&W 500 may make a good backup to have if you're hunting grizzly's with your 458 rifle, but a poor choice for ccw.

At 56 OZ unloaded in the 4" barrel version...it's pretty heavy firearm.
And then...what is the weight loaded?
The cartridges are quite heavy and the other thing to consider is that the cylinder is a full 2" wide.
If stopping power is all you are worried about, than a 500 should have you covered. But I think ever one here has demonstrated that its just not a practical choice.
Don't believe what you hear and only half of what you see!

If you can shoot it and are willing to carry it, I say go for it brother.
Here in Oklahoma we are restricted to.45 cal. or smaller.
Have you ever shot one before? I shot a non-ported full size BFR and was worried about dropping it between shots. The recoil wasn't going to knock me down but it torques the muzzle back fast and hard. My first shot was in the 9 ring at 25 yards. My follow up, which took a good 6-10 seconds since it was single action, completely missed the paper since I was worried I would drop my friends gun after almost doing it on the first shot.
Hey man, I have thought about toting a .50 Desert Eagle if I ever get one.
IF you can shoot it well,
IF you can conceal it well,
IF you can carry it well,
THEN why not carry it?
[QUOTE=natticarry;1255170]Have you ever shot one before? I shot a non-ported full size BFR and was worried about dropping it between shots.QUOTE]
No I have not shot one, however I'm a husky guy that can handle the recoil. I plan on getting a ported one for the recoil and to reduce the muzzle flash at night time. Can someone give me a ball park percentage change in the recoil compared to a S&W 642 with .38+P ammo?
Keep it concealed so those bears won't know you are packing.
Don't frisk me, I am the weapon.

Puncho, let me tell you about my experience. I decided to carry a 4" S&W 500 and had a OWB holster made for it by Black Hills Leather. I open carried it for about a week and my back started to hurt. I was only able to practice with it using reloads because factory ammo is beyond belief cost wise.
The recoil is severe, about twice a 454 Casull. The barrel doesn't rise that much though, thanks to the ported barrel. Follow up shots are slow. As others have pointed out, the danger is significant to anyone within 100 yards, even if you hit the BG. I came to my senses, sold the gun, holster, ammo, etc. and am now carrying a S&W 3913 with Remington Golden Sabers. My back feels a lot better,
I can afford to shoot again and my wrist has healed.
These guns are nice conversation pieces and fun to shoot at junked cars with, but are impractical for CC.

Puncho says: "No I have not shot one, however I'm a husky guy that can handle the recoil. I plan on getting a ported one for the recoil and to reduce the muzzle flash at night time. Can someone give me a ball park percentage change in the recoil compared to a S&W 642 with .38+P ammo?"
Take the difference between a .22 short vs a .44 magnum, multiply by 3, and hang on.
Can't use a gun bigger than a .45 in Oklahoma as a CCW anyway...
"...bad decisions that turn out well often make heroes."
Gary D. Mitchell, A Sniper's Journey: The Truth About the Man and the Rifle, P. 103, NAL Caliber books, 2006, 1st Ed.
It's not just the size of the bullet that matters as has been said.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you should carry the largest caliber handgun you can 1. COMFORTABLY Carry, 2. Shoot WELL.
You've already mentioned that it is a bit heavy, which indicates that it won't be comfortable for long term carry.
As far as shooting WELL, that means multiple shots in quick succession. As was also previously mentioned, You can't count on only one shot doing the job, and if you need to fire a second shot, but it's going to take a bit to bring the gun back on target, it may be too late.
"When seconds count, the police are only minutes away." * "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight."
Probably not enough gun. I'm thinking maybe a .416 Rigby in a TC Contender.
Each of us has a natural right, from God, to defend his person, his liberty, and his property.

BioFocus and Almac have inked an agreement that will allow BioFocus to offer its customers compound screening and profiling services using Almac's Flexyte™ fluorescence lifetime (FLT) assays. The firm has launched an FLT screening and profiling service using the Flexyte platform, for targets including proteases, phosphatases, and kinases. It says the Flexyte platform can be exploited for applications including fragment-based screens and kinetic profiling.
"Being able to incorporate FLT in our service offering enables BioFocus to provide clients with an approach to screening and profiling that will unlock significant potential within their drug discovery efforts," comments Kate Hilyard, vp biological sciences.
Almac claims the Flexyte approach harnesses fluorescence lifetime technology that negates the need for radioactivity and antibodies, to enable robust and reliable assays that can be miniaturized and multiplexed.

and organisers say it is a sign the series could be a
A subcommittee of the club has decided to host six events
over two months. One organiser, Corrie Mullin, said the first
surpassed expectations as 50 competitors had signed up within
half an hour.
The course, the QBP's Ants Trail, was only revealed on the
morning so riders would not have any competitive advantage,
Mr Mullin said.
Five more competition days until March 10 will be held across

It's quite common to see an American speaking Chinese CPA act as CFO for more than one China small-cap. That said, these companies are slowly going away from hiring someone that is also the CFO for another publically traded company. Not a big deal other than perception.

We offer classes for children between the ages of 5 and 16 years old whether they're doing it for fun, competing, or somewhere in between.
Runs on: Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays
See website for details.
My son has been going for 2 years and loves it. He enjoys the fun atmosphere and the games. It is run by Marc who makes the sessions fun and keeps the discipline at the same time. The only thing I am not so keen on is the use of loud music during the session so it may not suit more sensitive children. My son is very rough and tumble with loads of energy so it suits him very well! You can have a free trial lesson. They do a lot of gradings which cost about £20 per time and you have to pay for membership of Judo Scotland so there are some extra costs. You can start any time in the term as you pay per 3 months from when you start. There are only 2 weeks off in the summer, Christmas and Easter

Thailand Family Holiday , July 2016
Melanie Morrison
I would recommend the Thailand family holiday to any family. It is a richly diverse 12 day adventure: from feeding the elephants near Chiang Mai to the ancient temples of Ayuthaya; from beachside pools in Hua Hin to a unique home stay experience in a stunning hills of north Thailand; from colourful night markets and scrumptious food to strolling along the historic Bridge over the River Kwai. I can not speak highly enough of our tour leader, Nok, who was kind, well-organised, patient and a lot of fun. Just go with the flow and be mesmerised.

Highly recommend the Family holiday - a great format to show your kids the world in a safe and interesting way - as well as an opportunity for making new friends from around the world.

text: That is rather interesting. The SecureCountVisits page does not check for isSessionExpired() as does the CountVisits page. It appears that when a session expires, the strategy is to call Application.handleInvalidSession() which basically removes the _SID_ reference so the browser will stop requesting an invalid session, and marks request._sessionExpired. It does not however, delete the session object. The sesion object remains attatched to the transaction for the remainder of the transaction processing by the servlet. It is up to the servlet to check the request.isSessionExpired() and take appropriate action of notifying the user that their session has expired at this point. The SecureCountVisits page does not check for the isSessionExpired() and therefore uses the session even when it is expired. However since handleInvalidSession() has already run, the cookie identifying the session has been removed (or will be removed when the response is flushed.) Therefore on the next invocation of the page there is no cookie identifying a session so you are prompted with the login page. Probably what should happen, is that the SecureCountVisits example should be updated to include a check for isSessionExpired() and then display an expired sesion page. -Stuart- Chris Backas wrote: > Hello all, > I've been having an interesting problem with dynamic session timeouts > and the SecurePage skeleton provided by the examples.

When Willie Nelson invites you onto his bus, you don't hesitate to say yes! In this fun chat, the country legend talks to Country Weekly about his new album, Let's Face the Music and Dance [1], his love of Irving Berlin and why music is one big melting pot. Plus, he even shares a (clean) joke.
[2]To get more from Willie, pick up the June 24 issue of Country Weekly [2], on stands now!
Country's legendary outlaw sits for a CW Q&A.
Getting the green light to step on to Willie Nelson's bus, parked outside Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, is like being granted an audience with a king. It's an undeniable honor, not that Willie, despite being country royalty, exudes any sort of ruler aura—though there is a pervasive pungent scent. Instead, he is a most gracious host, giving his blessing for Country Weekly to film the interview (go to countryweekly.com to check it out) and maintaining near constant eye contact as he answers questions prior to his performance at the We're All for the Hall benefit concert last April. Here is Willie, holding court about his new album, Let's Face the Music and Dance, the genius of Irving Berlin and his addiction—to golf.
Congratulations on the new album, Let's Face the Music and Dance.
WILLIE NELSON: Thank you. You've heard it, huh?
I have. It reminds me a lot of your albums Stardust and Teatro.
Stardust is in there, yeah.
Do you think that's a fair assessment?
Very fair. I think you're right. I hear a little more Stardust than Teatro, but I know what you're talking about.
Why the Irving Berlin song as the title track?
I could have done a whole album of his songs. There are so many. "Face the Music and Dance" is one of the classics. He wrote "White Christmas," "Easter Parade," "God Bless America," "Alexander's Ragtime Band"…. It'd be really easy to do an Irving Berlin album.
Maybe one day?
Yeah. I'm thinking about it. I got sister Bobbie working on it.
You only included one of your own songs, "Is the Better Part Over," from 1989's A Horse Called Music, on the album. Why?
That's one of those songs that I did so many years ago, and I love the song, so I just keep doing it every 30 years or so. [Laughs] But I did a lot of the same type of music. Sister Bobbie and I would just sit in the studio with the band and we'd just kind of play what we felt like playing. We didn't have a set list. I went in the studio and we started out on one, which led me to think about another one. We'd get a couple of Django [Reinhardt] songs in there.
I knew you'd include your guitar-playing hero.
He's the guy. He's the guy.
We were just standing outside your dressing room and it had a sign that indicated Kris Kristofferson and Billy Joe Shaver were in there with you.
That's cool. That's great. Sorry I didn't get to the dressing room. [Laughs]
But you have the best one on wheels.
This is pretty cool, yeah.
You played a show on your 80th birthday, in Florida. Did you ever give any thought to taking the night off?
No, why? Why retire? Why quit doing something you like? We enjoy playing, and I hope I can play on every birthday.
Looking back, are there three milestones that stand out from those 80 years?
It'd be hard to pick three.
What's the most recent?
I think this album, Face the Music. I'm really proud of the album, because it features me and the band and that's the way we sound every night, so I'm always glad when we can reproduce on the stage what we did in the studio. And that's not always easy to do. We did [last year's] Heroes with Buddy Cannon's Nashville guys, who are incredible musicians, but it'd be impossible to reproduce that on the shows. But with this album and the band, we do it every night.
You recorded with the Beach Boys one time.
Yes, "The Warmth of the Sun."
How on earth did that come about?
I don't know. Somebody asked me if I'd love to, and I said, "Yeah, come on." It was one of those deals.
Did you watch the Masters this year?
Yes, I did. Yes, I did.
Did you enjoy it?
I did. I felt it was a fantastic playoff and I'm a Tiger [Woods] fan, so I wanted him to [go] all the way, but he'll be back.
What's your favorite course to play?
I have a course right outside of Austin and it's got a lot of rocks [laughs] and a lot of deer. If you can play golf there, you can play anywhere I'd say. But I enjoy it; it's home.
As you cross 80, will you still continue touring?
I intend to. As long as the folks show up. And if it's still fun, we'll do it.
Do you marvel at the age difference in your crowds?
I've been marveling at that a long time. [Laughs] You see people young and old, but I remember seeing that when I was very young. I'd see a lot of older folks in there.
Your shows are the ultimate melting pot.
I think music does that. I was just smart enough to know that. Music brings people together.
You're famous for your jokes. Can you indulge us?
Let me see if I can think of a clean one [laughs]… A guy come out of an antique store carrying a big grandfather clock and he stumbled and hit a drunk and fell down. The guy jumped up and said, "Man, why don't you watch where you're going?" And the drunk said, "Why don't you wear a wristwatch like everybody else!"
Willie Nelson may be known for his support of a certain green plant, but that's not the only kind of farming he champions. Since 1985, Willie has been spearheading the regular Farm Aid concerts, which benefit the American family farmer. This year's concert will be held in September in Saratoga, N.Y. Check farmaid.org for more info, including the all-star lineup. But as in year's past, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews will all be participating, along with singer-songwriter Jack Johnson.
From rock's Willy Wonka, Jack White, to the iconic Neil Young, Willie Nelson can sure count some cool friends. And many of them came together in April in Nashville for a special episode of CMT Crossroads. The concert, taped at Jack White's quirky Third Man Records studio and record shop, was held in honor of the Red Headed Stranger's 80th birthday and featured performances from Willie alone and with his pals, including Ashley Monroe, Jamey Johnson, Norah Jones, and Sheryl Crow, who had the honor of singing "Crazy" with Willie. But it was the one-of-a-kind Neil Young who stole the show, singing his poignant ballad "Long May You Run" directly to Willie, who, may, just may, have teared up. See for yourself when CMT Crossraods airs June 23 at 9 p.m. ET on CMT.

- The components you create using C++/CX as shown in this video are fully native components. There is no managed aspect to them.
- The fact that underlying technology is COM (not pInvoke btw) is irrelevant. The whole point is that the developer doesn't need to care about that. He can write regular C++ language and libraries constructs (with some new additions off course) and he gets language interop for free
- What's wrong with calling an app that uses both JavaScript and C++, a hybrid app? Who said that the word "hybrid" is reserved for native+managed interop?
Btw, the project that I used in this video can now be downloaded here:
Great video STL.
Btw, you might find this useful:
@ZeroInfinite: And the best part is that Windows 8 lets you create apps with both HTML and XAML. You can pick whichever suits your taste and requirements best.
@Glen:OK let me try to answer some of those questions to the best of my knowledge. I work on the team that provides developer tools for building applications. As such, I will stick to answering questions about that area. For questions about platform capabilities and competitive offerings, I would urge you to post your questions on Ch9 videos related to those topics. There are several from the //BUILD conference.
Now to your questions (those I can answer):
> Can you create NEW C++/CX UI Controls?
For apps written using HTML/JS you cannot, but for apps using XAML for the UI, you can.
> Can you write a game in the browser?
Once again, the browser doesn't come into the pictire in the traditional sense. If your question is whether you can create apps that are games using HTML/JS, yes you can.
Thank you
Raman Sharma, Visual C++
@Glen:Some of those statements make sense, some don't and some are unrelated. Please feel free to write to me at email@example.com and we can discuss these firther (maybe setup a conf-call). Maybe you can then post your understanding here
@Glen:You can create whatever HTML control you want to. Just that C++ cannot be used to draw to the screen for such controls, since there is no interface that lets native code do that for HTML/JS apps.
About your second question: All Metro style apps run in their own sandbox and are thus safe to the extent that is afforded by the sandbox. This sandbox prevents unauthorized access to system resources. This means your C++/CX code can execute whatever calls it is allowed to by the Metro style SDK. If your app package (containing all your app contents like HTML, JS, C++/CX DLLs etc.) passes App-Store validation, then it is safe to run on any machine. In this sense these apps are more secure than ActiveX controls since there never was any validation that ActiveX is doing the right thing.
For Metro style apps on the other hand, we have three levels of validations: at build time, at package upload time and at runtime.
@Glen:Let me explain what I meant. You can create HTML controls that are backed by C++/CX components for data-binding. You can also create HTML/JS apps in which almost all the important processing happens in your engine written using C++/CX. What you cannot do however is the following: creating an HTML app with a special DOM element whose rendering is entirely controlled by C++ using DirectX calls. Does that make sense?
@slinger: That's correct. This talk was recorded here in Redmond and not in the //BUILD conference. What would you like to see more of? Samples, Examples, Tutorials?

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Top Five Month continues (check here to see an archive of all the top five lists featured so far) with a look at the top five slayers in comic books!
Demonslayer, an Avatar book (nee Image Comics) just barely edges out Spawn: Godslayer for the #5 spot, mostly because my pal, Blond, did some of his earliest professional coloring work on this series.
Otherwise…well, not much to say about this one, so moving on!!
5. Spider-Slayers
Thanks to Craig for reminding me of this one that I forgot!!
The Spider-Slayers have plagued Spider-Man for YEARS! Dr. Spencer Smythe first made these pesky robots, and later on, J. Jonah Jameson commissioned Dr. Marla Madison to make some, too – and instead, he and Madison fell in love and married!
4. Skull the Slayer
Skull the Slayer was an interesting little book, particularly the timing of the book. Obviously, Mike Grell had his Warlord idea set in his head for quite a long time before he actually debuted the character in late 1975, but interestingly enough, Skull the Slayer came out in his own title a few months BEFORE Warlord debuted, and the stories are pretty similar.
Skull was actually Jim Scully, a Vietnam vet who was a POW for a few years, and when he came back to the US, his life was in shambles – his parents were dead, his wife had divorced him, his brother was a junkie – things were bad. Things got worse when his brother came at Jim with a knife. Jim easily blocked the attack, but his brother then accidentally fell on the knife and died! Fearing that he would be blamed for the crime, Jim took off and was arrested in Bermuda.
On the way back home, however, the plane went through some sort of time warp in the Bermuda Triangle and crashed. Jim and a few survivors of the plane crash found themselves on a lost world of dinosaurs and other stuff like that from all sorts of different time periods (including the future).
Early on, Jim found a belt that gave him tremendous strength. He used that belt to defend his friends and fight the good fight as Skull the Slayer!
Marv Wolfman wrote the first issue, but a series of writers did the book during its short run.
Years later, Mark Gruenwald brought him back as a member of a group of supernatural heroes under Doctor Druid's command (the belt now turned Scully translucent, so he went by the name Blazing Skull).
He was eventually cured of the clear skin (other people usually have it the other way around – they take cures TO clear their skin), and years later, Fabian Nicieza used him as a character in his Hawkeye series.
3. Devil-Slayer
Eric Simon Payne was also a Vietnam veteran like Scully, only he had a lot more problems than Scully!
He got caught up in a demonic cult, and they gave him a demonic shadow cloak as well as the ability to see demons. He then become a Devil-Slayer, although he was a really weird guy.
He went through some major issues over the years (working with the Defenders, mostly).
He recently popped up as a member of the 50 States Initiative.
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Buffy is quite lucky that Buffy Season 8 came out, because if it were not for that comic, she would be stuck at #3, because Devil-Slayer was a pretty darn cool (if bizarre) character, and up until Buffy Season 8, the comics version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer sorta paled compared to the TV series (as you would imagine).
Luckily, Buffy Season 8 DID happen, and Joss Whedon (and company) has been doing some nice work with the series, pushing Ms. Summers up the list to #2!
But who is #1?!?
1. Starslayer
Mike Grell's story of an ancient Celtic warrior brought to the future to fight the bad guys (and later, actually slaying a star, which set off a whole new era of the book, where he was set against an actual Celtic Goddess!!) was pretty sweet.
And after Grell finished the first series for Pacific, it went to First Comics, where John Ostrander had a good run on it, as well.
Starslayer had back-ups, and in those back-ups, it introduced a mind-boggingly THREE awesome series! Groo, The Rocketeer AND Grimjack!! Pretty sweet, no?
Jon Sable, Freelance is better than Starslayer, so I perfectly understand why Grell has chosen the former to do modern work on, but damned if it wouldn't be awesome to see him do some new Starslayer comics!
One last tidbit of info – Starslayer was going to be published by DC, but it was a victim of the DC Implosion, so Grell took it to Pacific a few years later.
Okay, just one more piece of info – Starslayer? That's what Starlin wanted to call Dreadstar!! Cool, huh?
Okay, that's the list! Agree? Disagree? Let me know!
I suppose Slaymaster doesn't count.
He'd be in there at #5.
He would be there if not for his recent New Exiles appearances.
Wow, I loved Skull the Slayer. Good call.
But how on earth can you have Buffy but not Blade the Vampire-Slayer?
I'm going with Blade as a Vampire HUNTER. He's never had a series titled Blade the Vampire Slayer, and the dude has had a LOT of series!!
Harrumph. I'll buy that, but he was still introduced as a slayer. I wonder if that was the first use of the term "vampire slayer," actually.
Good question.
I will look it up!
EDITED TO ADD: Never mind – too hard! Someone else should do it, please!
Skull the Slayer's Ghost Rider-y appearance as the Blazing Skull occured in the pages of Quasar. Had ot put that in there.
Dude, how did Spider-Slayers miss the list?
Good call, Craig!
Devil Slayer is back? Did they retcon the bit where he lost his cape in MCP? Or does he still have the goofy magic staff?
I believe the only proper answer to "who is #1?!?" is, "You are Number Six."
What about the Slayers?
Amazing #25 also featured the first appearance of Spider-Man's new "spooge webbing".
Buttler: you owe me a keyboard. Bwaaa!
Spencer Smythe's son, Alistair, also made some Spider-Slayers, most notably turning himself into one after he was crippled in a fight with Spider-Man.
I didn't think I everI would see the phrase "most notably" used about Alistair Smythe!
Even though it's not a comic I was still hoping that the band Slayer would take the top spot on sheer metal-ness alone.
Is this new Devil Slayer the same as the old Devil Slayer? http://www.tfaw.com/Comics/Pre-Orders/Profile/Dead-Of-Night-Devil-Slayer-1-%28of-4%29___327040

Church members showed up at the First Baptist Church in Campbellton Friday morning to find they had no air conditioning. It wasn't broken...it was stolen.
Thieves gutted two of the church's units Thursday night. Danny Taylor was shocked.
"It used to be churches were left open," he said. "People would come in and worship whenever they want to."
Taylor estimates the damage at several thousand dollars. He believes the thieves were after the parts and the copper wiring.
"It's just an easy way for somebody to make a few dollars instead of having to work for it."
Jackson County sheriff officials are investigating a string of similar crimes at several businesses.
"We see this type of activity occur usually when the price of precious metals goes up," said Sheriff Lou Roberts. "The price of copper is extremely high right now. So people are using this to convert it into cash. They're taking it to the recycler."
Roberts believes this week's crimes are related.
"Oh very likely. I think they're very likely connected. I think there is maybe a group maybe that's working a certain part of the county."
Investigators are collecting evidence from each of the crime scenes hoping it will lead to the people responsible.
If you have any information about these thefts, call the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.

1 Playing statistics correct to the end of 1953.
Fred Payne (born 4 February 1927) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Payne experienced victory in the first 14 senior games that he played, but being part of a strong Essendon squad also meant it was difficult to command regular selection and he missed out on playing in their 1949 and 1950 premiership teams.[2] He played as both a follower and forward during his career.
Originally from Ardmona, he made 16 appearances for Essendon in 1951.[2] Payne missed both the semi final and preliminary final with a thigh injury, but was named on the bench for the 1951 VFL Grand Final.[3] He would end up starting the game in the forward pocket, after Essendon player John Gill had to withdraw.
In 1954 he joined Hawthorn, where he played in the seconds. Having been unable to make it into the seniors, Payne crossed to Bendigo Football League club Kyneton later in the year.
He continued playing across the state for the rest of the decade and throughout the 1960s, with stints at Sunbury, Murchison, Shepparton and Ardmona.[4]

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- If Gov. Jerry Brown wins re-election in November, he will be given an unprecedented opportunity to overhaul the California Supreme Court.
Voters in 1987 rejected Brown's first makeover when they removed Chief Justice Rose Bird and two other of his appointees from the high court because of their refusal to enforce the death penalty and consistently liberal rulings.
Three decades later, Brown could be presented another chance to shape the court. Justice Marvin Baxter, a reliably conservative member of the court, announced last week that he will retire in January, which would give Brown his third vacancy to fill if re-elected.
Brown has already appointed law professor Goodwin Liu to the court. Another vacancy remains to be filled since Justice Joyce Kennard retired in April.

Cactus-riddled cat adopted by Sun City woman
It didn't take long for the 1-year-old orange and white tabby to find his forever family.
Less than two hours after being placed on the adoption floor at the Arizona Humane Society's Sunnyslope Center, Prickly Pete met his new owner, Jean Mann from Sun City.
About a week ago, an emergency medical technician with the Arizona Humane Society responded to a call about a cat stuck to a cactus. Bretta Nelson, public relations manager, said when the EMT arrived, the car had freed itself, but then got stuck in a fence.
"He was put under anesthesia and for the next two hours about four vet techs took spine after spine after spine out of him," she said. "He's doing remarkable."
Nelson said nearly 90 cats are available for adoption.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- A Clarke County jury has acquitted a 21-year-old man of all charges stemming from a home invasion robbery last year in which one of the victims was sexually assaulted.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports that Shamar Refeal Johnson of Athens was found not guilty Wednesday of an armed robbery at an apartment on Aug. 8, 2011.
Johnson was initially charged with 29 counts that included armed robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, kidnapping, aggravated sexual battery and other felonies.
Johnson's co-defendants entered guilty pleas August 27 in connection to the home invasion. A judge sentenced Tracy Brown to 12 years in prison and 58 years of probation; Eric Brown received 10 years in prison and 35 years of probation; and Corbin Marrs got 10 years in prison and 55 years of probation.

In his book The Bible Cure for Asthma (Siloam) Don Colbert, M.D., says that some food additives might trigger an asthma attack. Read labels carefully and avoid the following:
If you think food sensitivities may be worsening your asthmatic condition, Colbert recommends asking your doctor to perform a blood test called the ALCAT to determine your food sensitivities and allergies.
Colbert also says that many medications, even some asthma medications, may include sulfites. He recommends checking the label on your inhaler. If it contains sulfites, it may actually be making you worse instead of better. Talk to your doctor if you feel a change may be needed.

Thanks to Off the Wall, Crack & Shine and Katsu for the video.
Graffiti represents an extremely young global underground subculture, it's the root of modern guerilla marketing and the core inspiration behind street art. This episode of "Crack and Shine" highlights Katsu, a graffiti vandal active in NYC. Katsu's campaign is unique within the graffiti world because while most vandals influence with traditional street tagging and murals, Katsu uses deeper conceptual strategies to promote the movement.

Since embarking on a mission 15 years ago to know everything about software development, the only thing that has grown significantly is the list of things I still don't know yet.
Currently I don't know everything about microcontrollers and the .net micro framework.
I've recently decided to go freelance. If you're in need of a software developer and want to know more:
- Read my CV.
- Take a look at my GitHub projects.

Review: Peter Barrickman at the Green Gallery
A stone is placed on the end of a garden hose. A pattern of water blossoms forth from under it. Another stone's surface would produce different fluid forms in the water. Peter Barrickman used this analogy to describe his move from 631 Center St, which tragically burned along with many other artists' spaces in July, to his new studio. His creativity is the water issuing from the hose, the rock his new digs. His artwork is different. The painter Peter Barrickman is changed.
Deluge is also an appropriate description of my meeting with the artist himself. We were joined by Mary Louise and artist Santiago Cucullu to talk about his recent show at the Green Gallery East, called "Guesthouse". For an hour we dug into references, ideas and reflections. Barrickman has a fierce intellect and an artist's eye. Everything is magnified. His thoughts on, well, anything are apt, deep and weird. »Read Full Blog Post

Quoting GBguy88:
Oh we're not off topic it's the weather....and it's not like there's a hurricane about to come ashore.
Coldest I've seen was -28F here in Homer, which is really quite moderate because I've grown up in a warm PDO period. Frankly, we could be about to see the worst winter here in Alaska in over 30 years this winter, with the PDO going as cold as it is right now. It's going to be dang brutal, and with my college up in Fairbanks, I'll be guaranteed to see -50F and below on several nights. The next couple decades will restore our reputation as the most dangerous place to live in North America, similar to the weather Alaska was known for from the late 1940s through the mid-1970s when the PDO was last cold.

Organization does great job for city

To The Editor: The opening sentence of Downtown Hendersonville Inc.'s mission statement speaks volumes about what this organization is about: "To manage, enhance and promote the development of Historic Downtown Hendersonville."
DHI's list of accomplishments is impressive. Not a month goes by without Downtown Hendersonville Inc. hosting or sponsoring an event that does exactly what their mission statement says. What an amazing accomplishment that is and the responsibility of all event planning falls on the shoulders of the organization's executive director.
To even consider the idea of not having an executive director is ridiculous. I wonder how the mayor and City Council would get along without their city manager? It is to the credit of DHI's executive director that so much is accomplished.
The full funding of Downtown Hendersonville Inc.'s budget request is the responsible action necessary from City Council.

National ICE Raids Net Two Yakima Arrests
The Department of Homeland Security says a nationwide sweep last week picked up 2,059 convicted criminals.
The Department of Homeland Security says a nationwide sweep last week picked up 2,059 convicted criminals.
Today was our first ice day. Many of us had to scrape the ice off our windows while balancing on our iced-over driveway, street or where ever you happen to park your car in the cold. Since my car is parked out in the open, it was blanketed with the kind of ice that you really have to put some effort into it. If you're all out of deicer or just plain don't have any (or it literally got so cold that the deicer you left in your car froze over - it's happened to me), here's what you can do.
People near lake Mille Lacs in Minnesota this weekend witnessed sopmething you might assume only to see in a sci-fi movie. Massive amounts of ice creeped up on land, moving too fast for some; and damaging homes...
This dude decided to sled on a frozen lake. Nothing wrong with that. Sounds kind of fun if you ask me. The only problem was the weight of him on his sled caused him to break through the ice. When others come to his rescue, others started falling in as well.
Here's the dilemma: You notice that a particularly icy stretch of a public stairway is taking down just about every other pedestrian who tries to traverse it.
Do you, A), post a sign warning said pedestrians of the impending danger? Or, B), find a good vantage point and record all of the slipping and sliding?
Based on the video below, one pedestrian obviously selected "B."
It's been a tough winter so far, with the raging blizzard and global deep-freeze, and all. But the human race perseveres! How? By building cool snow and ice sculptures worldwide...

Ramblings of an Emergency Physician in Texas
Well put!
After a recent presentation on social physicians, someone asked why there were so many emergency medicine physicians on blogs and social media? Good question. From content to conversation, ER docs are heavily represented in public spaces. And it's as much about passion and participation as raw numbers on any given platform.
What is it about emergency medicine physicians that has lead them to flex their muscles and reach out beyond the confines of their emergency centers?
Yrs. Trly. gets a mention.
Some of the country's best doctors have the worst patient satisfaction scores. Here's why.Part of being a doctor is learning to suppress your feelings. You get good at being what people need you to be. But it slowly transforms you into something you couldn't have foreseen—a sort of Stepford doctor—pleasing everyone with your perfect smile and agreeable demeanor, hoping that your patient satisfaction survey will be favorable, no matter the cost.
Press Ganey is one of the top providers of patient satisfaction surveys, according to the Forbes article, Why Rating Your Doctor Is Bad For Your Health.The government has bet big on these surveys, as a recent article in Forbesnotes. Armed with the idea that "patient is always right," Washington figured that more customer satisfaction data "will improve quality of care and reduce costs."
That turns out to have been a bad bet.
Read the whole thing, but it's what your doctors, especially the hospital based ones, have been saying since day 1.
It's on. Three shots, three hits, 40 yards.
Air rifle is a TalonSS made by AirForce AirGuns right here in Fort Worth, Texas!
They were filled with water only, I'm not a barbarian.
I have a question.
The fledgling Google Glass is slowly working its way into the mainstream, and one place that people should get used to seeing the device is in hospitals.
Several medical institutions have already been testing the computer-enabled eyeglasses to see if the devices enhance doctors' work. But the School of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine, is taking it one step further by issuing Google Glass to its students.
Irvine will be the first medical school to fully incorporate Glass into its four-year curriculum. Its first- and second-year students will use the device in their anatomy and clinical skills courses, while third- and fourth-year students will wear Glass during their hospital rotations.
via Google Glass handed out to medical students at UC Irvine – CNET.
Will the students be tested with the same Glass they were allowed to use while studying? I have concerns this would be a four year training session for Glass, not actually learning so they could go without it. (As opposed to their smartphones, I realize).+
Drive safely while collecting that information!
Even after more than 25 years of the Don't mess with Texas® campaign, litterbugs still roam the roadways, tossing trash from their car windows and letting litter fly out of their truck beds. We're talking about cigarette butts, fast food wrappers, and the like. They're small, but they're still trash.
Your tax dollars in action. Threats against satirical bloggers.
The blog Addiction Myth is devoted to a very out-of-the-mainstream proposition about medicine: that the entire concept of drug and alcohol addiction is a scam perpetrated by law enforcement, rehab groups, and the entertainment industry. By contrast, the United States Department of Health and Human Services is devoted to mainstream medical and scientific propositions1 It is perhaps inevitable that these two worldviews would conflict one day.But it was not inevitable that HHS's Office of General Counsel would bumptiously threaten Addiction Myth over obviously satirical posts. That, given minimal good sense, could have been avoided.

FORT WORTH — A man being treated for a self-inflicted gunshot wound Monday morning was arrested and will be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, an official said.
Fort Worth police did not release the man's name, but spokeswoman Sharron Neal said that he was brought to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth by a woman he was trying to abduct when he accidentally shot himself in the arm.

You don't say.
Market share and prices tend to climb among hospitals that employ doctors but not for hospitals with looser contracts with independent physicians, according to newly published research. The findings, the authors say, suggest that integration itself does not produce the savings that many health system executives and policymakers promise from closer coordination between hospitals and doctors.
Hospital prices, according to the study, increased 2% to 3% each time physician-employing hospitals' market share increased by one standard-deviation. The results were drawn from an analysis of roughly 2 million hospital bills submitted to private insurers between 2001 and 2007. Overall spending on services at the hospitals that employed physicians grew, while the utilization of services at those hospitals didn't change.

Many thanks to Steve in the comments on the last post for alerting me to this movement:
It's time all clinical trial results are reported.
Patients, researchers, pharmacists, doctors and regulators everywhere will benefit from publication of clinical trial results. Wherever you are in the world please sign the petition:
Thousands of clinical trials have not reported their results; some have not even been registered.
Information on what was done and what was found in these trials could be lost forever to doctors and researchers, leading to bad treatment decisions, missed opportunities for good medicine, and trials being repeated.
All trials past and present should be registered, and the full methods and the results reported.
We call on governments, regulators and research bodies to implement measures to achieve this.
via All Trials | All Trials Registered. All Results Reported.
I signed the petition, and hope others will as well.
Realistically, this will require either a mindboggling scandal (even worse than the ones we know about) leading to group self-regulation, or more likely, intrusive and poorly thought out legislation.
I know what I'd bet on.
Hint: Roche stinks, and the Cochrane Collaboration has done all of us a huge favor. Time to stop prescribing Tamiflu.
What the Tamiflu saga tells us about drug trials and big pharmaWe now know the government's Tamiflu stockpile wouldn't have done us much good in the event of a flu epidemic. But the secrecy surrounding clinical trials means there's a lot we don't know about other medicines we take

12 years ago I was in Midland, Texas. At the urging of my still good friend Rick I started a blog that's been continuous since then. Not terribly interesting or well maintained, but it has staying power.
It has survived a series of moves to Fort Worth, the new job (also going on 12 years), children graduating college, grad schools (one mine), two grandkids, about 10 cars (family wide), my getting older and maybe a touch wiser, some professional advancement, two marriages (kids)(My kids marrying others, weirdos), a tractor, about a zillion in home improvement, a about that many ER shifts.
It's been a pleasure to share a tiny slice of it with you. The days of a lot of blog followers are over (not writing regularly will do that), but I appreciate most of the comments and everyone who reads this missive.
Please click through and read the whole thing. Something I hadn't considered.
This is a Navy blog but I just can't pass on the following Air Force item especially since it indirectly impacts Marine and Navy CAS.
DoD Buzz website quotes Air Force Gen. Mark Welsh as saying that scrapping the A-10 will save $4.2B over five years (1). This apparently is the Air Force's justification for letting the A-10 go. Of course, the real justification is preserving the Air Force's buy of F-35's. Be that as it may …
Let's check that cost savings number out, shall we?
Behold, the right hand drive Cadillac Escalade!

Hi CodingForums,
I'm new to this advanced form of website making, but have some basic html & css knowledge. I have a problem, which I cannot seem to find a solution or How-To anywhere so I hope you guys can help me out.
I'm making 2 websites, where the first one is supposed to have a button, which when activated sends information to the second website, so the second website knows it's activated. From that information, the second website should light a box which indicates that the button from that specific account (logged in on the first site) has pressed the button. Also that light box has to be able to be turned off again.
All I have right now is the basic set up of the two websites and a basic button on the first site.
Hope it's not too complicated but I'm really lost in this. If it's in the wrong section of the forums, please let me know and I'll create in again in the right section.
Thanks in advance
