A Day of Thanks Giving
"Come ye thankful people, come!"
This is a line of lyric from a hymn I learned in childhood about joining together to celebrate the gathered harvest before winter begins. It always brings a smile to my face and a welling up of happy feelings. I love the Thanksgiving celebration.
In honor of this harvest holiday taking place this week in the United States, I want to tell you, how thankful I am for you, the readers of The Nurtured Entrepreneur. Without you, there would be no exchange of energy and that exchange feeds me whether it comes in comments or simply in thought.
To express my appreciation, I'd like to share the first glimpse of my book-in-progress about seasons and joy and gratitude. This is a page from the November-January section, the quarter of the year known as Samhain in the Celtic tradition.
I am grateful for a cup of tea snug in hand.
I am grateful for first dips into freezing temperatures.
I am grateful for the comfort of thick flannel sheets.
I am grateful for reminders to be lighthearted.
I am grateful to be here.
Early this month, an artist friend sent me a dear handmade card for Thanksgiving so I could enjoy it all the month long. It is a reminder of friendship, something no one should be without. My store of friends is rich indeed and in that way I am abundantly blessed. My mother was my role model for having friends, being a good friend, and enjoying friends. I would not be where I am in my business or life today were it not for good friends, tried and true. I am thankful for that gift every day of my life.
Happy Thanksgiving!

May your memories of things you are thankful for be warm and bright, may your blessings be sweet and many!

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Frequently Asked Questions About Bird Flu
In this article
Bird Flu's Worst-Case Scenario continued...
Even if it's a relatively mild new flu virus, it could spread rapidly across the globe. That's because most humans would have no immunity to the new kind of flu. During the 20th century, this happened three times.
But just because it happened before doesn't mean it will happen this time. While experts say it's inevitable that sooner or later we'll see another flu pandemic, it's by no means certain that the current bird flu virus will be the cause.
Even if a new human flu emerges, public health officials might be able to contain it. H5N1 is susceptible to the newer flu drugs. And a vaccine already has been created and stockpiled by the World Health Organization.
Is There a Bird Flu Vaccine?
Yes. On April 17, 2007, the FDA announced its approval of the first vaccine to prevent human infection with one strain of the bird flu. The vaccine has been purchased by the U.S. federal government to be distributed by public health officials if needed. This vaccine will not be made commercially available to the general public.
Other bird flu vaccines are being developed by other companies. And the World Health Organization has a stockpile of the vaccine, with plans to quickly produce more if needed.
When given along with immunity-boosting agents called adjuvants, experimental H5N1 vaccines offer good cross-protection against different H5N1 variants.
And several companies are working on universal flu vaccines and antivirals that would protect against all known strains of influenza.
Is There a Treatment for Bird Flu?
The flu drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu), zanamivir (Relenza), or peramivir (Rapivab) should work against bird flu, although more studies are needed. These drugs must be given soon after symptoms appear.
Unfortunately, H5N1 in humans can be a severe illness requiring hospitalization, isolation, and intensive care.

Men who treat women as helpless and charming playthings deserve women who treat men as delightful and generous bank accounts.
Contributed by: Zaady
Some people think they are generous because they give away free advice.
Always remember, no one can debase you but yourself. Slander, satire, falsehood, injustice-these can never rob you of your manhood. Men may lie about you, they may denounce you, they may cherish suspicions manifold, they may make your failings the target of their wit or cruelty. Never be alarmed; never swerve an inch from the line your judgment and conscience have marked out for you. They cannot, by all their efforts, take away your knowledge of yourself, the purity of your character, and the generosity of your nature. While these are left, you are unharmed.
I have but one system of ethics for men and for nations-to be grateful, to be faithful to all engagements and under all circumstances, to be open and generous, promoting in the long run even the interests of both.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
Lavishness is not generosity.
Thomas Fuller (1608 - 1661)
Be practical as well as generous in your ideals. Keep your eyes on the stars and keep your feet on the ground.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919)
In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present.
Tao Te Ching
I detest . . . anything over-cooked, over-herbed, over-sauced, over elaborate. Nothing can go very far wrong at table as long as there is honest bread, butter, olive oil, a generous spirit, lively appetites and attention to what we are eating.
Sybille Bedford
The real glory of meditation lies not in any method but in its continual living experience of presence, in its bliss, clarity, peace, and most important of all, complete absence of grasping. The diminishing of grasping in yourself is a sign that you are becoming freer of yourself. And the more you experience this freedom, the clearer the sign that the ego and the hopes and fears that keep it alive are dissolving, and the closer you will come to the infinitely generous "wisdom of egolessness." When you live in the wisdom home, you'll no longer find a barrier between "I" and "you," "this" and "that," "inside" and "outside;" you'll have come, finally, to your true home, the state of non-duality.
Sogyal Rinpoche

I love the acquaintance of young people, because, in the first place, I don't like to think myself growing old. In the next place, young acquaintances must last longest, if they do last; and then young men have more generous sentiments in every respect.

Incumbents Still Must Beware
Rhodes Cook is a veteran Washington political analyst who tracks national elections and voting trends and publishes a bimonthly political newsletter. Click here for Mr. Cook's full bio.
• Sens. Robert Bennett (R., Utah) and Arlen Specter (D., Pa..)
• Reps. Alan Mollohan (D., W.Va.) and Parker Griffith (R., Ala.)
• Gov. Jim Gibbons (R., Nev.)
Above is the complete list of congressional and gubernatorial casualties halfway through the 2010 primary season. For many political observers, a group that can be counted on one hand is not enough to sustain the year-long story line that anti-incumbent sentiment is at a fever pitch.
Critics have a point. Few incumbents have gone down to defeat thus far. The number of House casualties stands at two, exactly half the total of U.S. representatives that lost primaries in 2008. At the gubernatorial level, only one incumbent has been defeated so far, matching the number in the last midterm election in 2006 when Sarah Palin upended Gov. Frank Murkowski in the Republican gubernatorial primary in Alaska. Only at the Senate level is modern political history being made, with the two senators denied renomination in the first half of 2010 already representing the highest total since 1980.
But it is largely out of the limelight, in the murkier world of close calls and warning shots, that anti-incumbent sentiment has been evident. There, many more incumbents are having to break a sweat to win their party primaries than in recent election years.
Already, more than three dozen House members have been held to less than 75% of their party's primary vote. That is more sub-75% showings than in the
Breaking a Sweat
And it is not just Democratic House members who are having to break a sweat, but Republicans as well. The tally of representatives drawing less than 75% in their primary currently stands at 21 Republicans, 16 Democrats.
To many readers, 75% may seem a very generous threshold for measuring a significant primary challenge. And to be sure, many incumbents below this mark were easy winners. Yet for a governor or member of Congress to lose 25% or more of their party's primary vote is not a good sign in an era when parties rely on winning a virtually unanimous share of their base vote in November.
On the Republican side, some of the challenges to congressional members have come from "Tea Party" activists. In Texas, a primary opponent of GOP Rep. Ralph Hall even had the nickname "Tea." Although challengers often have been low on funds and name recognition, they still have been able to draw a protest vote of a size that catches the eye.
On the Democratic side, several incumbents who voted against passage of the president's health care bill in March have found themselves drawing the ire of party activists. In North Carolina, two "No" votes on health care, Reps. Larry Kissell and Heath Shuler, both pulled less than 65% of the Democratic primary vote this spring. In Pennsylvania, another "No" vote, Rep. Tim Holden, was held to 65% in his primary. None of the three drew any primary opposition in 2008.
Mr. Kissell is in his first term in Congress. Mr. Shuler is in his second. But most of the congressional members who have faced significant primary challenges this year are veterans, like Mr. Holden, who is in his ninth term in the House.
Vulnerable Veterans
The two senators who have been denied renomination so far this year – Republican Bennett and Democrat Specter – are in their 18th and 30th years, respectively, in the nation's upper chamber. One of the two House losers, Democrat Mollohan, is in his 28th year in Congress. Altogether, 10 of the House members who have drawn less than 75% in their primary have held their seat for at least 20 years – a group that includes seven Republicans and three Democrats.
As for Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln, who barely survived a runoff election this month in Arkansas, long congressional tenure (12 years in the Senate, four in the House) was at best a mixed blessing. She could boast of her chairmanship of the Senate Agriculture Committee, an asset in a state as rural as Arkansas. But her voting record was also expansive, capped by a controversial "No" vote on the Senate's passage of health care legislation in March.
What does all this mean for the fall? Good question. There is not always a direct correlation between what happens during the primary season, and what unfolds in November. But probably three things can be said at this point with some degree of certainty.
First, the anti-incumbent sentiment visible thus far this year has been bipartisan in nature. Not just Democrats, but Republicans as well, have felt the lash of their party's primary voters.
Second, long-time members of Congress in particular should be on guard. If there is one thing that could be worse this year than being an incumbent, it is a veteran incumbent.
Finally, while it is problematic how many incumbents will actually go down in November, the increase in the number of contested congressional primaries points to the possibility of a lot more close races than usual this fall. And when a contest is close, it becomes an open question how it might break at the end.

GIS 3DPosted Monday, 7 January, 2008 - 13:36 by hshutao in
OpenTK is, at its core, a C# binding to OpenGL. The question then is, is C# & OpenGL suitable for GIS development?
While I do not know of any such programs written in C#, I believe this is a valid combination as long as you are aware of the possible performance implications and how to overcome these. There are two things to keep in mind:
a) all OpenGL calls travel through a translation layer, which incurs a small overhead (currently about 20ns per OpenGL call), and
b) .Net is a garbage collected environment, and the garbage collector plays an important role in performance considerations.
Both of these hold, of course, true for almost all other OpenGL bindings, including ones written for Python, Java and C#. Performance considerations are a well covered topic (check for example Rico Mariani's blog), and in the future we will be adding relevant information to the OpenTK manual.
OpenTK's main advantage is that it allows you to write more elegant OpenGL code, minimizing the risk of mistakes. It also contains font, math and input handling utilities, making it suitable for rapid development. On the other hand, it is under heavy development and there will be breaking changes from version to version. Staying on the bleeding edge means taking more risk - you'll have to decide which is more important to you ;)
If you have an IRC client, you can visit the "#opentk" channel on "de.quakenet.org" (port 6669) where fellow developers meet.
Actually it might be a big advantage using C# in this case over unmanaged C++.
There is a topic in this forum regarding managed OpenGL resources (basically the garbage collector is used to clean up unused Textures) which should be a big advantage getting a project like yours bugfree, assuming that you're loading already 100s of Textures at startup and additionally load more Textures on-the-fly while the program is running.
Edit: If Fiddler includes the .dds loader in OpenTK 3.14, you could also use compressed DXT1 Textures, lowering the memory requirements and load times of your application. If you want to implement pan/zoom features, that should give a serious performance boost.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Docs Often Suggest Pricier Meds for Reflux: Study
By Robert Preidt
HealthDay Reporter
SATURDAY, May 3, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors often recommend brand-name drugs for acid reflux and chronic constipation instead of cheaper store brands, costing patients more money, a new study finds.
The survey included more than 800 gastroenterologists across the United States who were asked about their drug recommendations for patients with the two digestive conditions. The study was funded by generic drug maker Perrigo.
The study found that 63 percent of the doctors would recommend an over-the-counter (OTC) drug, rather than a prescription medicine, to treat acid reflux.
However, while three-quarters of the doctors felt that OTC brand-name and store-brand proton pump inhibitor drugs were equally effective, 54 percent of them recommended brand-name drugs to patients at least one-third of the time.
For chronic constipation, 95 percent of the gastroenterologists said they would suggest OTC treatments such as fiber supplements, osmotics and stool softeners. If those therapies failed, 70 percent of the doctors said they would still recommend an OTC treatment as a second option. Few said they would suggest a prescription drug.
"Despite feeling that name-brand and store-brand laxatives are equally effective, the majority of gastroenterologists surveyed continued to recommend name-brand laxatives and underestimate the cost savings associated with buying store brands," study author and gastroenterologist Dr. William Chey, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan Health System, said in a university news release.
Chey and his colleagues found that less than one-third of the doctors in the study knew that generic drugs could be more than 20 percent cheaper than brand-name medicines. Doctors who had been in practice 20 years or more were more likely to suggest generics than younger doctors.
The study was to be presented Saturday during the Digestive Diseases Week meeting in Chicago.

Special treatment for Bernie Tiede makes a mockery of justice system
I can't count the number of times I've read stories about death sentences for convicted criminals whose mental capacity was that of a third or fourth grader. Then there are stories of women being put to death for killing their abusive husbands. If we looked into the histories of most sex offenders, including those who killed their victims, I think we'd come up with volumes of evidence of how they themselves were sexually abused as children.
Yet those circumstances rarely afford such convicted killers the kind of special treatment that Bernie Tiede is receiving in Panola County. Tiede, a former mortician in Carthage, killed his 81-year-old companion, Marjorie Nugent and stuffed her body into a freezer. She was missing for month until the body was found in 1996. A jury heard the evidence and convicted Tiede. He received a life sentence.
The world would probably have moved on and allowed Tiede to rot in prison for what he did, were it not for filmmaker Richard Linklater, whose 2011 film "Bernie" offered a somewhat sympathetic portrayal of Tiede and the circumstances leading to Nugent's death. It was an excellent, entertaining, funny and baffling film.
But the fact that Tiede's story inspired Linklater doesn't mean Tiede should be excused or receive special treatment for what he did. A Panola County judge heard testimony that Tiede was sexually abused as a child, and that this played into his behavior when he killed the domineering, verbally abusive Nugent. The judge ordered Tiede released from prison and placed him in Linklater's custody.
Why is he getting such special treatment? Think of all the years that Michael Morton spent in prison fighting for his real, honest-to-goodness innocence without receiving a whit of special treatment. Or Betty Lou Beets, executed in 2000 for murdering her husband after claiming in court that she had been sexually abused as a child and abused by the husband she killed as well as her previous husbands.
There are extenuating circumstances in pretty much every murder case. A history of childhood sexual abuse does not constitute a get-out-of-jail-free card for any acts of violence that follow. Bernie Tiede was portrayed in the film as a really nice guy, and by most accounts of people who knew him in Carthage, he was in real life. But he killed someone.
I'm all for mercy. I'm all for common sense. I want judges to weigh extenuating circumstances when meting out punishment. But there are hundreds of other cases that deserved to be placed ahead of Tiede's if, all of a sudden, we're going to go back and retry the facts that preceded serious acts like the one he committed.

Storm surge flooding in Port St Mary's Lime Street is caused, residents agree, by the design of the boat park and an inadequate sea wall.
Speaking after a series of floods had hit the street – the latest of which was during high tide on Monday afternoon – resident Alan Grace said: 'Water came up the back for the third time in a week. Because we had sandbags this time, the damage was minimal. This time the properties either side of me were flooded.
'It's very concerning to me about the way the Department of Infrastructure (DoI) has reacted and not made any attempt to stop the way it's coming up the boat ramp. It comes up there and with the wind there is no chance ... they made a barrier but it did not hold, they need something more substantial.'
Mr Grace said the water is funnelled up the boat ramp and into the boat park, which falls away from the sea, so traps water and directs it down the adjacent road which runs behind Lime Street properties. Compounding the situation, he said, is inadequate drainage.
The sea reaches Mr Grace's back gate, but he took measures to protect his property.
'I have made steps and have built up the back wall,' he said.
'I'm not as concerned as other people who are flooded every single time,' he said.
He added: 'I'm 64, I was born in this house and have never known it to flood here before they built the boat park ... we (residents) are all of one mind. The ramp is the problem and the breaching of the sea wall.
'We need some sort of wall to stop it crashing over ... It's easily solvable.'
Mr Grace, who is a commissioner, said the local authority has raised the issue with the DoI.
'We are trying to get the department to do something about it.
'All you get is money is tight. I think we are at the bottom of the pile here.'

What's it like saying on a houseboat? The boat is in a protected part of the marina, but there is some occasional movement during the day when boats pass by. It is usually very calm during the night, although some guests find a bit of gentle swaying is relaxing and can lead to a very restful sleep.

The place was roomy,nice & clean.It was convenient to get around the city.However, the place was cold 51-55 degrees(inside) on lower floor so we couldnt hang out much on the boat.The circuit breakers kept tripping through the night downstairs,which shut off heaters .upstairs was better like 76degrees so sleeping was fine but no place to hang out or eat up there.We had coffee but left shortly after to find warm place to eat & tour the city.Water taxi very close by .After being out for the afternoon when we returned no power throughout the whole boat.The entire place was cold & dark,not fun anymore since it was 13 degrees outside .We called the management who responded quickly but no power is no power & no heat made stay impossible,13degrees would have taken forever to get boat even little bit warm.That is if he was even able to restore power from fried electrical cord.we packed our groceries we were planning to prepare for dinner on boat & headed back home . not fun weekend except when were in the city

The Taurus was amazing....
May 19, 2010
Staying on the Taurus was my favorite part about our trip to Boston. Stepping aboard the first night was so exciting... the houseboat was clean and cozy. There was everything that we needed to be comfortable during our stay. I loved waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck while overlooking the marina. It was a great experience for my little nephew who declared himself captain of the ship for the weekend. All in all, I am looking forward to one day renting one of Ryan's houseboats again.

Even with the bad weather we had during our visit, the houseboat was one of the highlights of our trip. Very clean, all the comforts of home, and lots of extras. Easy access and directions to all the places we wanted to go. Next time will know there is no need to pack hairdryer, shampoos, etc. It is all there!

Great stay at the sleepafloathouse boat in Charlestown Navy yard in Sept 09. The boat was clean, had a good TV/stereo system, enough space for a small family. It rocks a bit but its quite fun and you get used to it. Ryan was very helpful and the location is great. The Boston water taxis will drop you right at the boat! We'd certainly stay here again and recommend it to others.

What a great week-end! The houseboat accommodations were perfect...better than a hotel. The location was amazing! It was really fun watching all the ships come through the harbor accompanied by tugboats. The marina was quiet and other boaters were very friendly. Looking forward to another stay. And by the way...the bed was more comfortable than my own!!

What a way to experience Boston! Ryan, thank you so much for allowing my dog and I the chance to truly explore Boston like a local! The boats are beautiful, the bed was sooo comfortable (loved the memory foam!) After figuring out how to use the coffee maker, I loved making a different cup each time, and enjoying it up in the lounge chair on the roof deck. We will definitely be back, look forward to exploring your boats in the other cities.

Lawyer wants to delay trial in prison riot
Guard killed in 2012 riot in Adams County
An attorney has asked to delay the trial of an inmate accused of participating in a deadly prison riot last year in Mississippi.
One guard was killed and 20 people were injured in the May 20 riot at the privately run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, which holds illegal immigrants convicted of crimes in the U.S.
Marco Perez-Serrano has been identified as the first person to attack correction officer Catlin Carithers, who died.
Court records say Perez-Serrano, also known as Jesus Fernando Ochoa, hit him with a food tray.
Attorney, Joseph M. Hollomon, said in a court filing that he needs more time to prepare for trial, scheduled for June 3.
It took hours for authorities to control the riot, which grew to involve hundreds of inmates.

Office furniture maker Herman Miller Inc. is cutting costs in response to reduced demand that it blames on the slumping economy.
The Zeeland-based company says it will temporarily reduce hours and pay by 10 percent for most of its salaried U.S. employees by closing most of its facilities every other Friday beginning March 13.
Herman Miller also says in a written statement it will temporarily suspend its matching contribution to employee 401(k) plans beginning Monday.
The company says it plans to resume normal hours and reinstate the matching 401(k) contributions when business conditions permit.
Herman Miller says other companies are making similar moves to save money.

PEP Stands Firm On Spotless Offer
Spotless Group's attempt to squeeze an additional A$32 million out of Pacific Equity Partners hasn't quite worked.
The private equity group Tuesday released a statement saying it is yet to gather information that would justify a valuation above its revised offer of A$2.68 a share, noting that the management presentation which was also released on the Australian Securities Exchange clarified certain high level assumptions only.
Spotless' defense – led by Goldman Sachs and Clayton Utz – has placed a condition on due diligence only being granted if an offer of A$2.80 a share is laid on the table by PEP.
But PEP's affirmation of its offer — which at an implied price earnings multiple of 16.5 times represents a 61.5% premium to comparable companies, according to Capital IQ — means it is standing firm.
The private equity group — advised by Investec, Citi and Gilbert + Tobin — has reiterated to Spotless's chairman Peter Smedley that it can complete a focused due diligence process in four weeks, but is unable to progress its proposal without access to due diligence.
Could Spotless's management let down its guard? Faced with the risk of backlash from institutional shareholders who are supportive of the bid and have the power to requisition an extraordinary general meeting and replace board members, one might think they have no alternative.

Universities across the Big Ten are proving that a larger police force doesn't necessarily equal a safer campus community.
Budget issues, campus culture and student perceptions of police all affect the ability of officers to do their jobs. But University of Minnesota police Deputy Chief Chuck Miner said better training and outreach are improving the outlook for campus police.
The ratio of police to students falls beneath the national average at most Big Ten campuses. The University of Minnesota has the smallest officer-to-student ratio in the Big Ten — less than one officer to every 1,000 students — but it boasts the second-lowest crime rate in the conference.
Ohio State University recorded the lowest crime rate, with the second-smallest police force.
"It's sort of a catch-22," Ohio State University police Deputy Chief Richard Morman said. "If your crime rate is lower than the number of officers implies, then do you need more officers?"
Since crime rates are not always indicative of how many officers are needed, university police struggle to arrive at an appropriate number of officers, Morman said.
"It's hard because an adequate number of officers depend on what you are trying to accomplish," Morman said. "If you want to be proactive, there just aren't enough right now."
Budget obstacles
University budgets often limit the number of officers on campuses.
UMPD has budgeted for 54 officer positions, but only 50 of the positions are currently filled, according to University of Minnesota police Chief Greg Hestness.
Hestness said he has room to hire four more officers but hasn't done so to save money to cover operating costs like for equipment.
With 51 officers and one of the smallest student-to-police ratios in the conference, Pennsylvania State University police Chief Tyrone Parham said he experiences similar budget limitations.
"It's much easier to tell someone you need police than to actually get more," he said.
Parham and Hestness agreed that their departments could use more officers, but they recognize that budgets limit that possibility.
In order to staff special events like homecoming and football games around the University of Minnesota campus, Minneapolis police are called in to help, Miner said.
Some other universities, like the University of Wisconsin-Madison, use police officers to fill positions traditionally occupied by civilians, like dispatch and security, Miner said. They prefer to use officers so they have more police on hand in case of emergencies or large events.
UMPD uses civilians to fill such positions, Miner said.
"We view emergency management as more of a career-type position," Miner said. "It's a pretty specialized field."
But Morman said employing fewer officers doesn't always solve concerns. These officers are required to work longer shifts, meaning much of the budget goes to overtime pay.
"Even if you have a low number of officers, you still needed to cover all the shifts," he said. "So you sometimes have officers working 17 hours a day."
Few police, but low crime?
Campus police across the Big Ten agree that on-campus visibility is the greatest deterrent to crime, but with limited numbers of officers, they have been forced to come up with unique methods of enforcement.
"People want to see police out and about," Morman said. "They feel better; they feel safer."
Police said the nature of college campuses, where crime rates fluctuate around athletic events, homecoming and the academic calendar, makes policing these areas a unique challenge.
"Basic enforcement can be very challenging from time to time," Miner said, "especially when you have a situation where you get extremely busy certain times of the year."
In the past, departments relied heavily on patrols to address campus crime. But crime prevention strategies have since been prioritized.
"When I first started here in the '90s, we were very reactive with crime," Miner said. "Now, we've found ways to become more proactive and prevent it."
Miner said UMPD introduced the Coordinated Response Team, a new crime prevention unit, in 2011. The unit assesses trends in crime statistics and finds weaknesses in enforcement.
"They're really our behind-the-scenes unit," Miner said.
Alcohol offenses comprise the majority of campus crime across the board. The UW-Madison campus recorded the highest crime rate in the Big Ten in 2011, with more than 1,700 offenses, while Ohio State recorded just under 300.
Parham, of Penn State, said although it's hard to measure how much visibility deters crime, he's observed how people change when they see police.
"It's like when someone sees a state patrol car on the highway — they slow down," he said. "People straighten up when they see a police officer."
Michigan State University police Deputy Chief David Trexler said this visibility is vital on his campus. He said his officers often sit with students during meals at residence halls.
"We have a real connection with our students, and it's had a huge impact," he said.
'Real police'
The relationship between students and university police officers used to be contentious.
Now, Big Ten officials say student perceptions of university police have improved.
"We have the same training as any city officer," Miner said. "We've made it clear we are the real thing."
The shift in attitudes has been part of a cultural shift on campus, Miner said.
"In the '90s, it used to be a problem," he said. "But we've become much more professional with our image on campus."
Morman said Ohio State University police used to struggle with their self-image but not anymore.
"We had some officers who actually thought they weren't the real police," he said.
Northwestern University police Deputy Chief Dan McAleer said student respect is still an issue university police face, but the situation is improving.
Northwestern is home to the highest student-to-officer ratio in the Big Ten and is the only campus where the ratio exceeds the national average.
"We sometimes get the 'You're just here to be the no-fun police' response," he said. "I think that as we've become more visible, the student perception has changed."
Miner said the improved image of University police has made it easier for officers to do their jobs.
"Once in a while, you get people who say we're not real cops," he said. "But once they get arrested and spend a night in jail, they figure it out pretty quick."
Sharing ideas
Big Ten police departments are not on their own when it comes to solving problems.
This week, chiefs and deputy chiefs from departments across the Big Ten will travel to UW-Madison for an annual meeting.
Miner said the meetings are an opportunity for university police to share ideas and resources to improve enforcement and crime prevention.
Since some universities are further along than others in enforcement, Miner said communication between departments is critical.
"We all experience the same problems," he said, "so we all need to work together to solve them."

JUST £10m for Tevez for two years!!!
On a more general note I for one am reasonably happy with the Gunners pre season matches and its another season of players geling with others they are used to. With Bendtner coming into the fold already being an Arsenal player the additions have been good. Sagna looks good and allows Eboue to push up to midfield Clichy is my man of the pre season how good is he becoming! Walcott looks more confident Eduado looks eager and up for it. But it is the youngsters who are rally looking good , Diaby, Traore, Denilson etc all looking fantastic. I m really not too sure about bringing so many new faces together in one go I think it will backfire on Fergie bigtime but guess what I not that intrested in what other teams are doing just my own.
I have noticed an annoying infection we got rid of on this board coming back its proper name is thrush (annoying little c**t) I think you know who I mean. Come the Gunners!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I agree with u London!!! If u read the Daily Mail its talking about we are getting DIARRA fomr chelsea for 2million. He is a good player strong but i feel the middle of the park is sorted its the wings and defence that need cover. Fo wenger defence is sorted but i dont know therefore we need another winger not central player.
As for Rooonaldo_utd i asked him why he is always on here and he redirected the question back to me asking me why i am on here so there u go we r both wannabe ARSENAL FANS think he has watched TRANSFORMERS AS A KID.

One of Europe's most sophisticated cities, Zurich also offers plenty of outdoor attractions for visitors to its many fantastic hotels. Wander around the atmospheric old streets with their medieval architecture, and sample local brews in lively bars. Or stroll around world-class shopping districts like the Bahnhofstrasse, with many boutiques and jewelry retailers. There are stunning churches to visit, as well as beautiful green areas like the Lindenhof where views across the city can be found. And for active visitors, Zurich offers a huge range of sports to enjoy. Alpine ski resorts like Kloten are a short drive away, while during the summer, the lake around Zurich becomes a huge swimming bath and the mountains are accessible for breath-taking hiking. The countryside also contains some breathtaking attractions like the dramatic Rhine Falls, which can easily be reached from a hotel or apartment in the city.
Finding the perfect hotel in Zurich
With a long tradition of welcoming travellers, Zurich will surely offer a hotel to suit anyone's holiday needs, but it helps to have a bit of local knowledge. The Widder Hotel is a particular favourite, where an apartment can be had overlooking the city centre, and the service is prompt and friendly. For a slightly less luxurious option, the Hotel Oktogon is a reliable choice located just outside the city centre, and offering peace and quiet. But for a self-catering break, an apartment in the centre would be a great idea. The Academia Apartments, for example, are very reasonably priced and central, with fully equipped kitchens.
Whether you opt for a traditional hotel stay or a luxury apartment, Zurich is a great destination for sports lovers and anyone who enjoys exploring shops, restaurants and medieval architecture. The city is full of history, whether it is the Middle Ages which intrigues you, or the espionage of the Nineteenth Century. Grab a proper Swiss fondue, or a delicious chocolate variant, and see the gorgeous countryside surrounding the city, and enjoy it all the more with a hotel or apartment which fits your individual needs.

Olympic cyclist Davis Phinney has a new, free, exercise DVD for people with Parkinson's disease.
Boulderite Gary Sobol and his Parkinson's Boot Camp are featured on the national video. Sobol has Parkinson's, as does Phinney.
With the exercises, the former marathoner Sobol said he is back to hiking. He said he has seen firsthand how others with Parkinson's improve when doing his exercises. The disease's most common symptoms are movement related; it's a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that shows up most commonly in people age 50 and older.
These days, as many as 75 folks show up at the Boulder YMCA on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to do exercises with Sobol.
The Davis Phinney Foundation teamed up with a professor at the University of Alabama-Birmingham to make the video. Sobol is one of 13 folks living with Parkinson's around the United States who are featured in it.
Sobol was diagnosed with the disease in January 2012, after having symptoms for three years. In his 60s, Sobol got to the point where he needed help getting out of bed or into a car.
"The results have been the most rewarding thing I've done in my life," Sobol said. "I'm walking better, I'm standing up straight, I can walk in the yard, I can hike."
Sobol said the YMCA class is really positive. People cheer for others when they're able to do movements they haven't been able to do in a long time.
If you want to try the exercises, call the YMCA at 2850 Mapleton Ave., and get yourself there for a session: 303-442-2778. If you can't get to the gym, you can order the video at www.davisphinneyfoundation.org/dvd. Or call toll-free 855-346-7564. Read more at http://www.bcbr.com/article/20130927/EDITION01/130929928

Chickenpox usually can be diagnosed based on how the chickenpox rash looks. For a healthy child, describing the rash over the phone to a doctor (rather than visiting the office) may be all you need to do.
Anyone who is over age 12, or pregnant, or has a weak immune system needs to be checked by a doctor as soon as you suspect chickenpox. When given right away, treatment can help prevent serious complications. For more information, see When to Call a Doctor.
At the doctor's office, your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and will examine you. This usually gives your doctor enough information to find out if you have chickenpox.
Chickenpox during pregnancy
A woman who has had chickenpox early in her pregnancy may want to have her fetus checked for birth defects. This can be done with a fetal ultrasound during the second trimester.
Find out if you are immune
If you have never had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine, you have no immunity against the virus. This means that the virus can make you sick-you can get chickenpox.
If you need to make sure you're immune to the chickenpox virus, a viral test can tell you. It makes sense to get a viral test if you aren't sure you're immune and you:
- Plan to or can possibly become pregnant. Having chickenpox immunity prevents complications of chickenpox during pregnancy.
- Are more likely than normal to get severely ill from chickenpox or to have complications of chickenpox.
- Are required to prove chickenpox immunity for work or school.

Netflix Says It Will Raise New Customer Subscription Rates
Originally published on Tue April 22, 2014 7:11 am
Netflix, buoyed by its foray into original productions such as the political drama House of Cards, said Monday it has added 2.25 million new customers and plans to raise its new-subscriptions rate by $1 or $2 a month.
The video streaming service reported first quarter earnings of $53 million, or 86 cents a share. Its share price surged by 6 percent following the announcement of earnings that compared with $2.7 million in the same period a year ago.
Chief Executive Reed Hastings said Netflix had improved its selection of television shows and movies and, with higher revenue from the raising the price of new subscriptions, "we will be able to license much more content and deliver it in very high quality video," he said on a webcast, according to Reuters.
In a quarterly letter to shareholders, Netflix said it plans to impose "a one or two dollar increase, depending on the country, later this quarter for new members only."
In recent years, Netflix has ventured into producing original series to attract new subscriptions, with the acclaimed House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey, and Orange is the New Black among them.

Also really fond of this shot...like I said on "Target: Strike", the Duel's just made for a huge range of dynamic poses. It'd be criminal just to have it stand there in a display case; it has to be in action!
Nice build, very clean.
Really dynamic posing here, great job .
Pretty nice job on the model itself, but I gotta say, the perspective of this shot is what really sets it off. Very dynamic.
