This weekend I revisted an old illustration. The original drawing was done for a friends wedding invite & although everyone involved was very happy, the image never sat comfortably within the Belle & Boo range. I have been going back to it, on and off for months now & getting frustrated, but then this weekend, within a couple of hours it seemed to come together. Funny how that happens isn't it, one of the many weird & wonderful mysteries of being an artist!
Now available here & here to buy.
So Kate & I sat down yesterday and went through our diaries and realised with utter shock that there is only 4 weeks left until the Royal Post's last recommended date for International Christmas shipping. So, we have decided to start the festivities early & between now and the 10th Dec there will be LOTS of exciting Special Offers.

Thats a choice of 33 designs
*Limited edition prints are not included.
*Only one free print per transaction
*Discount offer is only redeemable at www.belleandboo.etsy.com

Federal Direct Student Loan Program
As a part of the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, Loyola University Chicago is now a participant in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Student Loan (Direct Loan) Program.
Direct Loans are low-interest loans for students to help finance the cost of education at the post-secondary level. Under the Direct Loan Program, students will work with the Financial Aid Office to obtain Federal Direct Stafford Loans and Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans from the U.S. Department of Education, rather than from private banks and credit unions. Direct Loans are recommended over private loans due to their fixed interest rates and repayment flexibility.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
Every law student is eligible for $20,500 in Federal Direct Stafford Loan, as long as they have not previously defaulted on a Federal Loan.
The fixed interest rate for Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans disbursed after July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 is 5.84%. The fixed interest rate for Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans disbursed after July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 is 5.31%. The unsubsidized loan is eligible for payment deferment while the student is enrolled at least half-time. Students borrowing the Federal Direct Stafford Loan will have more repayment plan choices, and additional loan forgiveness options.
Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan
The fixed interest rate for Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 is 6.8%. The fixed interest rate for Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 is 6.31%. The loan is available to students enrolled at least half-time. Borrowers must not have an adverse credit history. Repayment of principal and interest begins within 60 days of the last day of enrollment.
We strongly recommend obtaining a copy of your credit report now to determine if it contains errors or to see if you have any problematic accounts. This could seriously impact your ability to qualify for this loan.
Federal Work Study
Law students may qualify for positions in law school offices, library, as faculty research assistants, and with specified public agencies through a program subsidized by federal funding. Please note law students are not auto-packaged with a Federal Work Study allowance. Students interested must first secure a position, determine hours per week and hourly pay, and submit an appeal form to the University Financial Aid office. An approved appeal will reduce your eligibility for the Graduate PLUS loan if you have borrowed up to your cost of attendance.
More information on Federal Work Study.
Loan deferments for enrolling students
As an enrolled law student, you may be eligible to defer the repayment of educational loans you received for your prior studies. Loyola University submits enrollment data to the National Student Loan Clearinghouse to process deferments requiring academic certification. For some loans, you may be required to submit a deferment form. The Law Registrar's Office at Loyola University Chicago certifies student enrollment status and processes deferment forms as early as the first week of classes.

Harness Helps Disabled Kids Walk With Parent
A new harness is helping children with physical disabilities get a new view of the world. The special device attaches the children to adults and helps them walk in tandem. (May 8)
TheendIsNear: We don't need it to be any easier to start a business. That's already ridiculously easy. People have no problem at all getting loans, starting a business, then watching it fail and still having to pay the loan back. The only people that win in this world where it's too easy to start a new business are the lenders, who are already the 1% of our country. What we need is to make it easier for these new businesses to succeed. The only way to do that is to stop the corporate giants from buying out any small business that shows even the slightest bit of competition to them. I don't even think most people that start a business these days, wants to actually keep it. I think their ultimate plan is to become successful enough for one of the giants to want to buy them then sit back and live like kings. That's the American dream. Come up with an idea then sell it. I can see the appeal here, don't get me wrong.... but there's just no room for a successful middle class in a country that runs like this. It's great that she says she wants to help the middle class but let's face it, when's the last time a candidate didn't say that??? Until she starts talking about how she's going to start controlling the corporations and making new laws for them to be held to, i just can't jump on board with her. Not to mention she's completely bought out by these very same corporations.

Urgent: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Fiscal Cliff
Per Pergram-Capitol Hill
I wish I had something original to say. But there is literally nothing new to report.
The plans for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to return to DC are sketchy at best, let alone the entire House. Senior House GOP aides continually punt to the Senate, saying the responsibility rests on the shoulders of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). But Reid doesn't have a bill…and the reason he doesn't have a bill…is because he knows he can't get clearance to run the 60 vote cloture traps twice. And he knows that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) won't grant him unanimous consent nor help him get to 60.
One of the basic laws in physics is that an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
So, if our "object" was in motion, hurtling toward the fiscal cliff on November 8, accelerating by Thanksgiving, picking up steam throughout December and then making the jump to Warp 5 by Christmas….well, our object is really in motion now.
There is no obvious way out of this now (save perhaps a wormhole, since we've devolved into quantum theory here).
So no plans for the House to come at all at this point.
Senate meets tomorrow to deal with FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance) and a final debate and vote on an emergency spending bill for Hurricane Sandy…and that might be it.
Keep in mind that the House has not touched the Sandy bill…and at this point, has no plans to do so. Conservatives don't like the size of the bill, what's in it…and are outraged there are no offsets to cover the cost.
And just because the Senate passes the bill…means nothing for the victims. Keep in mind that a Senate-passed bill can not hold over to the next Congress which, by the Constitution, must start on January 3.
So, for Sandy, they'd have to start all over again.

Pat Villafranca never liked her nose growing up.
"I never really had good airways, and I always had a hump right between the eyes," said Pat Villafranca.
In her twenties, she went to a doctor to have that hump fixed, but he left Pat with a face she didn't recognize.
"The tip of my nose is gone. There's nothing supporting that skin, and now my nose droops," she said.
Over the years, several doctors told her they couldn't fix her droopy nose. Then, she met Doctor Russell Kridel.
"Patients who had previous surgery on their nose or who had significant trauma to their nose shouldn't give up hope," said Russell Kridel, M.D., Facial Plastic Surgeon UT Health Science Center at Houston Houston, TX.
Doctor Kridel gives patients reason to get excited with this: Donor rib cartilage. It's irradiated first to virtually eliminate rejection risk and to keep the cartilage from warping.
"If we take rib cartilage, it's straight, and we can get a very nice contour on the bridge of the nose."
Kridel's study shows using donor cartilage instead of a patient's own cartilage reduces cost, pain, surgery time and recovery. The before and after pictures tell the story.
"Since we wrote this paper, there's been a huge demand for it. The tissue banks have been unable to keep up with the demand because it's so easy to use."
As an FBI agent, Pat does on camera interviews for big cases.
"I probably would have never volunteered for this job if I felt that I didn't like the way I looked. I feel like I have my old nose back."
For more information on other series produced by Ivanhoe Broadcast News contact John Cherry at (407) 691-1500, email@example.com.
BACKGROUND: Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is often referred to as "nose reshaping" or a "nose job." This procedure can improve the appearance and proportion of a person's nose, while enhancing facial harmony. Surgery of the nose can also correct impaired breathing that is sometimes caused by structural abnormalities in the nose. Rhinoplasty can change the nose size, the nose width, the nose profile, the nasal tip, the nostrils that are large, and the nasal asymmetry. Patients who are candidates for this procedure must be physically healthy, nonsmokers, and be at least 13 years of age or older.
(SOURCE: www.plasticsurgery.org)
GRAFTING MATERIAL: Septal cartilage is generally the preferred grafting material for rhinoplasty, but in some patients, there is inadequate tissue, especially for revision procedures. Other approaches have included harvesting the patient's own ear cartilage, but the size and shape of the cartilage may limit its suitability.
(SOURCE: www.medicalnewstoday.com)
DONATED RIB CARTILAGE: Now, some doctors are using irradiated rib cartilage as part of the rhinoplasty procedure. Homografts using rib cartilage salvaged from previously healthy donors such as lethal trauma victims may offer advantages. The salvaged tissue is screened for diseases and exposed to 30,000 to 50,000 Gy of gamma radiation to remove antigenicity. It is stored in saline in tissue banks. The donor cartilage has a long shelf life. It's good for five years from the time it's harvested.
RESULTS: Russell Kridel, M.D., a facial plastic surgeon from UT Health Science Center at Houston, conducted a study and found that using donor cartilage instead of a patient's own cartilage reduces cost, pain, surgery time and recovery. He says there is ongoing research to explore the possibility of using artificial cartilage in plastic surgery procedures like rhinoplasty.
Cindy Romeo
Patient Coordinator for Dr. Kridel
(800) 621-7531
Russell Kridel, M.D., a facial plastic surgeon at UT Health Science Center at Houston discusses a new way to rebuild noses.
So tell me, what are some of the reasons people need to have or want to have their noses surgically altered or reconstructed?
RK: Some reasons are cosmetic. Some of us are born with a short nose or a low bridge on the nose and want to have it augmented. In our study we looked at patients who had previous surgery or injury to their nose and we had to rebuild their noses.
And how normally would, let's say before we get into the irradiated rib cartilage, how in the past, normally would a nose be rebuilt?
RK: If a nose is missing some parts, often after trauma or after surgery, there may be a dip in the bridge of the nose or the cartilage that makes up the tip is deficient. In the past we would take cartilage from the ear or sometimes from the structure between the nostrils called the septum and use that as graft material.
Ok is there any other? Pat, the patient, happened to mention taking it from the collar bone, is that ever done?
RK: No, collarbone you wouldn't normally use.
Ok, ok.
RK: Normally we don't use bone for the nose except in some very severe conditions, because bone requires a lot of blood supply. Cartilage is normally what we use for the nose to rebuild it.
What are the negatives with using ear cartilage from the person's own ear or the septum?
RK: We like to use those first if we can, but sometimes people have already had previous surgeries and those grafts have already been utilized, there's nothing left to graft elsewhere. You look at the nose, it's straight, your ear is curved, so sometimes the ear is not a good graft material because of its shape and structure.
Oh, ok so if you needed a large piece of cartilage or a larger amount, maybe the ear might not be.
RK: Might not be enough, plus if you have to sew it together make it long enough, you can see irregularities. Where if we take a rib cartilage, it's a straight piece and we can get a very nice contour on the bridge of the nose.
So that's why it's rib, I wondered that, So that's why because it's straight. Interesting. Ok, so when you reconstruct the nose why is the extra cartilage needed, why can't you rebuild, cartilage is necessary for a good structured nose right?
RK: Right, the nose has to breathe, not only look good, but breathe and to breathe it has to have an open airway, So you need structure, you need architecture there to hold the nose open, and you also need structure there to look good but in a nice contour. Soft grafts wouldn't work; the nose would be very floppy.
Ok, ok got it. So explain the rib cartilage procedure.
RK: For years people were using the patient's own rib. They would make an incision in the rib cage and take that piece of rib and they would use that in the nose, but the problem is that, that hurts. Sometimes there are scars and there are some possible complications using someone's own rib cartilage. Plus, as an individual gets older the cartilage in their ribs calcifies or gets hard and so we thought of an alternative to use donor cartilage from a tissue bank instead from people unfortunately who are usually in an accident, who passed away at an early age before there was any calcification in their ribs. This saves an individual from having to have another incision on their chest, which is especially important in ladies who don't want a scar, and it saves time in the operating room.
And how do you ensure that there won't be any rejection?
RK: Cartilage is very inert, and all of the individual patients who are donors are screened for multiple diseases and problems and also the cartilage is irradiated, and it doesn't mean it glows in the dark, it just means that it's made inert, totally inert, so rejection is not a problem.
How important is that, the irradiation part?
RK: We found that it decreases warping because the rib expands when you breathe and so it has a little curve to it, but the actual irradiation may decrease any attempt for it to want to warp. So it stays straight in most cases.
So, it's not necessarily, I thought the irradiation was to prevent any rejection, is it also helpful in that arena?
RK: Yes
Oh it is, ok.
RK: Helpful in both ways.
Ok, does that virtually eliminate the chance of rejection with irradiation or is there still some risk?
RK: Cartilage in these cases is not rejected.
I think that is something people hear, oh it's from a donor, you automatically think that there's a risk of rejection, so people might even just tune it out, let's say they are watching the story, I want to make sure that that's clear, So there's not a high risk in the first place and the irradiation lowers it even more?
RK: That's correct.
Ok, so I'll have you explain that a little bit to me.
RK: Cartilage is one of those tissue structures that we have that's almost never rejected and cartilage has been used from one person to another for many, many years. With the irradiation it even decreases the chance of rejection even further and additionally we found the irradiation helps decrease the possibility of the graft warping or bending.
And when you compare this donor rib cartilage to let's say cartilage from the ear or cartilage from the septum what are the results?
RK: Well we were fascinated to see that the rate of complications using donor rib cartilage that's been irradiated was no more than using the patient's own ear or septum cartilage or their own rib cartilage. In fact, in certain instances they were even less.
When you say complications, what kind of complications?
RK: Well we have a complication rate of less than 4% from over 1000 grafts, 370 patients, and what we're talking about with complication is one would be infection, one would be resorption where the body is eating away at the graft over time, and the other one was warping.
From the surgeons point of view is it easier for you to use a donors rib that to say take a piece of the person's own ear cartilage, is it an easier procedure, quicker procedure or better looking procedure?
RK: Well for most of the defects we took care of in the nose, we needed a long straight piece of cartilage and the ear was really not an adequate donor site for us
So, you needed a, really rib was the best option, it was really just whether it was coming from themselves or a donor.
RK: The other possibility would have been septal cartilage, because the septum, that wall between the two nostrils, does have a lot of cartilage that's straight, but often these cases didn't have any septal cartilage left. We could have used septal cartilage if we had enough, but in some of these cases we needed a long piece of cartilage, a strong piece of cartilage, and so it was either the patient's own rib or a donor rib.
Once the cartilage is in there, how do you attach it?
RK: We carve the cartilage to make it exactly the shape that we want and then we place over some of the existing structures and sew it into place with multiple sutures.
Ok. They are totally permanent, there's not a risk of it coming apart?
RK: The sutures that we use do absorb over time, but by the time the sutures absorb the body has formed fibrosis around it and will keep the graft exactly where we placed it.
Perfect. Ok, great. So is this something that is readily available? It's approved and available?
RK: Since we wrote this paper there's been a huge demand for it; the tissue banks have been unable to keep up with the demand because it's so easy to use and because our studies have showed it is safe. So we would like all the tissue banks around the country to harvest more rib cartilage for us because I get calls from doctors all the time saying "where do I get some? I want some" and there's a back log at the tissue banks.
Ok, So it's fine to do this, someone watching this across the country wouldn't necessarily have to come here, they could try to find someone in their area who could do it.
RK: Yes, there are tissue banks all over the country that process rib cartilage and we'd like it to be irradiated, we don't like it to be treated with chemicals, we don't want it to be frozen, and it should be fresh cartilage that is irradiated in a bottle of saline.
So, when you say fresh, how long does it last, how long do you have to get it from the person who's expired to the patient?
RK: Well that usually happens very quickly because often these individuals donate other organs at the same time.
What's the benefit to the patient?
RK: Well the benefit to the patient is less time in the operating room, not another incision to take their own rib. When you take someone's rib there's a potential for a pneumothorax or punctured lung, because remember the ribs protect the lungs and So if you're harvesting it, that's a potential complication. You can get infection at the site, you could get pain, or you could get a scar. So it's decreasing patient morbidity or discomfort and decreasing time in the operating room; time in the operating room is money and the cost for that extra time to harvest rib cartilage graft from the patient.
How extensive is the procedure, how long does a typical procedure take?
RK: You can't give a time, because every nose is individual and what damage has been done to it will be different in each patient. Some of these cases can take 4 or 5 hours, some might take just 1 or 2.
So, it's not a 15 hour, you said you carved it before, do you use previous pictures of the patient or how do you do it?
RK: One of the things that we do now is called computer imaging where we take a picture of the patient prior to surgery and then we put it on a computer screen and then we morph it or change it to try and show a goal for the surgery and then we actually show that picture to the patient and see if they like it. If they do, then we go to surgery with that new picture and have the nurse hold the picture next to the patient as I'm operating, and I try to come as close to it as I can.
Wow, so how do you think you do?
RK: Well you'll have to ask the patients but we have some pretty happy ones.
And you touched on this a little bit but it's permanent, it should be permanent.
RK: Well that's why I mention the small possibility of resorption or of it decreasing in size, but we have patients with up to a 24 year follow up with almost no resorption, a marjority with no resorption, and just a very few with some resorption, so this has not been an issue. For many years it was thought that this cartilage would resorb, but it doesn't seem to do so in the nose to the same extent that it would in other parts of the body. So the longevity is really quite good. Now if you compare that to the patient's own cartilage that you take from the ear that can resorb also. So actually, our resorption rates were no different than using the patient's own cartilage.
Is the use of artificial cartilage on the horizon?
RK: There are a lot of studies growing cartilage in the lab right now. There are many, many different centers doing research and lab studies now, and that certainly is the hope for the future. If we could grow cartilage and mold it and shape it the way we would like to have it, it would be tremendous. But we're're not there yet.
But it would have to be cartilage that you grow, it can't be any other artificial material?
RK: Well remember we want structure here, structure and strength and cartilage has structure and strength and that's a normal structure that's in the nose.
Ok, so you want to keep as close to original as possible.
RK: Yes.
I think I asked you everything I wanted to ask you, is there anything you want to add?
RK: I would say in general that the patients who had previous surgery on their nose or who had significant trauma to their nose should not give up hope. I think that using this grafting material is a bright spot for these individuals and they should really consult with a facial plastic surgeon to see if maybe they can be helped.

Marisa Russo and How Forensic Healing began
The media refer to Marisa as the 'Sherlock Holmes of Healing'. She has a mind that never stops questioning, digging for answers and solutions. Marisa thrives on solving the most challenging health conditions and life circumstances. After working with thousands of clients over the years, Marisa knows the mind set, the healing processes and techniques that really work to help people heal.
"Since working with Marisa, I have released some enormous psychological and physical blocks that have allowed me to heal from my past hurts and experiences." – Annalisa Kerrigan, International Opera Singer
But it wasn't always this way for Marisa…
I was emotionally, physically and sexually abused as a child. I grew up feeling worthless and alone. A raft of addictions masked my pain. I was totally dysfunctional. My body and emotions were riddled with so much suffering that life seemed futile and death a welcoming option.
For many years I traveled the globe, desperate to overcome and escape the chronic pain, fatigue, addictions and illnesses that resulted from years of abuse. The unrelenting pain led me to seek alternative therapy only because traditional doctors said I would have to live with the pain for the rest of my life – an extreme prophecy that I wasn't about to accept!" (Read more of Marisa's story here).
Marisa tried many different therapies
After many requests from clients to learn her methods, in 2011 Marisa combined all of alternative healing techniques into the Forensic Healing home-based and live training courses
More than healing techniques… We are on a mission to free women
Although Forensic Healing techniques are changing the lives of women, men, children and animals, our workshops focus on teaching women. We see the key to progressing our world is through freeing women first – the influence upon children, future generations and men will follow.
Our vision is to heal the deep wounds of women, break-through the suppression and negative archetypes that have kept women bound. We assist women to reclaim their creativity, power and self-worth to realise their greatness. Renew your gifts as a woman with our freeing women activation
More about Marisa Russo
An international award-winning teacher, author, speaker and healer, for twenty-five years Marisa has been changing lives. With her Forensic Healing approach, she is known as the "Sherlock Holmes" of healing.
Marisa speaks from personal experience, both as a victim and a healer. It takes extraordinary qualities to overcome childhood abuse, addictions and chronic illnesses. She has these qualities, and she teaches women to activate their own.
It's a cliché that every therapist or healer has from an early age felt spiritually guided, or sensed they had a special gift to share. This wasn't how Marisa's story began. She was born in Melbourne, Australia. Her father was the last of nine Italian immigrant children and her mother was born from Irish descent. She grew up in an average neighbourhood, and on the surface it seemed like an average life.
But only on the surface. Marisa remembers bits and pieces of her childhood: The glint of brass from the buckle of her father's army belt just before he beat her in fits of rage and anger. The fear and disgust at the sight of him, the man who sexually and emotionally abused her. The sound he used to make as he chewed on a toothpick and sucked air between his teeth with a slow, purposeful stare that made her hate the ground he walked on.
Marisa felt poison running through her veins from all the abuse and negativity. Like many victims, she learned to "shut down" or disconnect from her feelings to survive the ongoing abuse. She felt numb from the pain and tried to escape her father's intent to ensure she grew up thinking she had no purpose and was worthless. She felt he wanted to dominate, control, and suck the life out of her childlike innocence.
Her defiance cost her more abuse, which left her spending years wanting to escape the hell that was raging inside her body—and even longing to die. She felt alone, shameful, and disconnected, living a robotic life, trying to fill an insatiable void inside her.
After a childhood of extreme physical and emotional pain, she suffered three whiplash injuries in her twenties. Marisa then developed self-destructive and addictive behaviours, falling for every addictive substance under the sun.
One day she attended an Anthony Robbins seminar in Brisbane, Australia. She was experiencing acute pain as she struggled to participate in the five-day workshop. Her sister's boyfriend suggested she visit his kinesiologist who was described as being "weird and different." After the first treatment, she felt energy reconnect parts of her that had been blocked for decades. She knew in that moment she had begun to find answers to years of struggle.
During the following years, Marisa devoted her time to research, studies and treatments, which included one particularly powerful healing treatment that changed her life forever. Following the treatment, she sensed energy surging throughout her body and cells. It was a process where her body was finally strong enough to release the childhood abuse and reconnect her to her spirit. It uncovered her gift of feeling and knowing "truth." From that moment, her body physically responds to energy, even people's thoughts.
Marisa now has the ability to connect with the intangible "energy field" and make sense of it. Over time, Marisa has attuned her abilities. With years of experience working with energy, this gift has developed and assists her to "read" the energy of a client's body—regardless of their gender, age, or culture—with great accuracy to get to the bottom of people's problems. It's the logical, investigative style along with magnifying her intuition and reading of the body that allows her to relate to the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges her client's experience.
"I know what it's like to want to take your own life," says Marisa. "There are women out there who are struggling with deep wounds, and it's my mission to help them heal."
Part of her mission is to heal and reconnect women to their innate abilities. She travels the world to offer personal transformation to women, and release trauma, abuse, and low self-worth through practical self-healing processes and a practitioner therapy system called Forensic Healing.

That excludes all "b" dirs. It's safer to exclude "/a/b/" (anchored and
fully specified). The simple rule is to exclude the names that rsync
outputs via -v.

> # rsync -avn --relative --exclude a/ /tmp/source/./a/? /tmp/destination
That's because 'a' is an implied directory in the longer path that you
told rsync to transfer. Implied directories can't be excluded, but
their attributes can be omitted via --no-implied-dirs. If you don't
want it in the transfer, don't specify it (and if you're using wild-
cards, specify them in such as way as to avoid matching the dir you
don't want).

Olympic Sailing champion dies in training accident
Simpson won an Olympic gold in the Star class at the games in Beijing and silver in London last year.
London: Britain's 2008 Olympic sailing champion Andrew Simpson was killed when his yacht capsized during a training session in the United States, his team said Friday.
"The entire Artemis Racing team is devastated by what happened," CEO Paul Cayard said.
Simpson, who won an Olympic gold in the Star class at the games in Beijing and silver in London last year, was one of the 11-man crew aboard Artemis Racing's AC72 catamaran when it capsized during training on San Francisco Bay.
According to British media reports, the 36-year-old man was trapped underwater for about 10 minutes. He died despite attempts to revive him, both afloat and subsequently ashore.
Another crew member was injured, but his condition is not life-threatening. The rest of the team was unharmed.
The team was preparing for this summer's America's Cup when the accident happened.

SYCAMORE, Ill. (AP) -- Authorities say the daughter of Northern Illinois University's police chief has been charged with drug possession.
The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/AlayjJ) that Jessica Grady and a 38-year-old DeKalb man were arrested last week.
She was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. Her bond was set at $50,000.
NIU officials confirmed that Grady is the daughter of police chief Donald Grady. They did not have further comment.
A message left for the police chief wasn't immediately returned Sunday. A home number listed for Jessica Grady had been disconnected.
Reginald Turner was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver.

Pinewood-Los Altos Hills girls basketball coach Doc Scheppler has never had a Panthers team play a game at Oak Grove-San Jose.
"Is that in south San Jose?" Scheppler asked. "I don't even know where it is."
Until late fall, Scheppler didn't know the Central Coast Section had created an Open Division, which pits the top eight girls and boys basketball teams in an elite bracket. Lo and behold, the Panthers (20-6) were invited to participate as the No. 7 seed.
That's the good news. The bad news? Pinewood's opponent is No. 2 Mitty-San Jose (21-6), ranked No. 18 in the state by Cal-Hi Sports. The Panthers and Monarchs tip things off tonight at Oak Grove at 8.
"This isn't as good a team as Mitty normally has, but we aren't as good as we have been in previous years," Scheppler said. "Mitty is a bunch of good ball players who surround Kelli Hayes, who is very solid. They are well coached and run a disciplined system. Mitty isn't going to come out and mail it in. They're going to play hard."
The Monarchs use an ever-changing defense, which can rattle a young team like the Panthers. Sophomore point guard Marissa Hing will have her toughest assignment of the year for Pinewood.
"We can't come out and be in awe because we're playing Mitty," Scheppler said. "This is a challenge that will make us better in the next two weeks. If we can handle the ball and make our shots, we'll be OK."
At Santa Teresa-San Jose, No. 4 Eastside Prep-East Palo Alto (21-6) and No. 5 St. Francis-Mountain View (19-7) face each other tonight in an Open Division girls hoop quarterfinal at 8 p.m. The game is a rematch of a game played at Eastside Prep during the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament in December. The Panthers won 42-39 in overtime on a buzzer 3-pointer by Chacitty Cunningham. Jennifer Lucian had 19 points for the Lancers in defeat.
"I have a lot of respect for St. Francis and their coach, Brian Harrigan," Eastside Prep coach Donovan Blythe said. "I'm a Harrigan fan. We'll come to play. This game will only make us better. We have a goal of winning a state title."
Serra-San Mateo (23-4) is the No. 2 seed in the boys' Open Division. The Padres take on No. 7 El Camino-South San Francisco (22-5) tonight at Santa Clara at 5:30. The Padres, who have a deep bench, have one of the best players on the Peninsula in forward Henry Caruso. The Colts counter with slick point guard Elija White and 6-foot-4 forward Michael Smith, who is a tough guard outside the arc.
No. 5 Palo Alto (23-1) battles No. 4 Riordan-San Francisco (17-9) at Piedmont Hills-San Jose at 8 p.m. The Vikings are led by high-scoring forward Aubrey Dawkins.
Each team in the Open Division is guaranteed a minimum of two games.

During last beta i only messed around in PVE. Tried all classes and all races in some different combinations and i'm a little disappointed about the combat =/
Melee weapons just feel.. weak, except the hammers. i would like some more weight in the weapons, some of the animations look like my character is just trying to swat flies away. And maybe different sounds? Some of the skill sounds just reflect the type of skill and not the weapon and there is only one sound for the auto attack which does get old pretty fast.
And the controls.. I really miss a "mouse look toggle", holding down the right mouse ALL the time just strains my hand. So just add a toggle and let us bind "Show the cursor" to ALT. As a melee class i can never target something with left mouse since i'm moving around and so are the mobs/players. And i would like to have the cursor appear automatically for AOE skills and other "Ground targeting" skills.
And let us bind the left mouse to auto attack and the mouse wheel to whatever we want.
And i would like to have a cross-hair for targeting instead of having to hit TAB or "Skill-key" all the time.
This game is SO good and i love ALL the new ideas. This game is the next evolutionary step in MMOs, no doubts about that. I just feel that some combat stuff are lagging behind.
Since i didn't get on WvW (maybe some error on the EU server?) i don't know anything about the PVP, but this video seems to have some good points:

Poonam Pandey calls Taslima Nasreen, 'a bitch'!
Poonam tweeted, "I don't have an 'attitude problem', I have an attitude that you have a problem with. So, yeah BITCH, it's actually your problem...(sic)." Oops, so did Poonam refer Nasreen as a 'bitch'? If so, we wonder what Taslima has to say about this.
Poonam's such harsh remarks would definitely not go well with Nasreen who earlier tweeted, "Poonam Pandey got naked but not satisfied. She wanna do dirtiest things none did before.Wants to get f****d in public!(sic)." We wish luck to both Nasreen and Poonam for their ongoing war.

"You are free to prefer keyboard movement but saying that mouse movement is worse because it's old is incredibly stupid. Keyboards were used in PCs before mouse even existed and so there were games without mouse support. Mouse is actually the newer and more advanced play style with ability to move and target more precisely.heldunder wrote:I would LOVE to play this game. it looks amazing. but i cant play it if it's click movement. this isn't the late 90's any more advanced play styles exist, and for a game to be successful they need to tweak it to better suit a large audience. people simply will not touch this game if the controls stay borked the way they are.
This doesn't mean mouse movement is better in one game or another and your post doesn't say anything about why keyboard would be better. A lot of people like mouse movement better than keyboard, just as you like the opposite.
"That is horribly wrong. D2 fans, that will like the game and it's controls, may be big enough audience to cater alone. There will also be a lot of players from more modern games like LoL, HoN, DoTA2 (and LoL is currently the most played game in the world) that have similar mouse movement and millions of players. There will also be RTS fans like SC2 players and vast majority of them will prefer mouse movements. This is tweaked for big audience and it's very probable that you are in minority here.think about it, what % of people who you expect to BUY the game are hardcore players who are actually concerned with how an old ARPG was played? maybe 2-4% you need to apeal to the rest of potential gamers as well.
If you want to argue that keyboard is better, please use actual arguments, not rants that "it's more advanced", which is bullshit. Or that more players would like keyboard, which isn't reasonable at all.
"This may be a bit of a concern. In SC2 you can use mouse to move back while clicking button to hold or stop to attack while moving most efficiently. However, without auto-attacks it's not that big advantage. This may be an effective strategy at low level where players don't have too good mouse control and a smartly done character that kites can easily kill a certain other character. It should quickly backfire with lack of precise movement since you can only move in 8 directions on keyboard.anubite wrote:The main issue I find now is that people who use your script in PVP might be at a significant advantage, with more rapid/precise mobility. Able to move and target a player simultaneously. I'm not against implementing WSAD movement, but it shouldn't exist as a third party application. That's basically cheating.
However, without animation canceling you can't move back and attack faster than the other player is attacking a few times and then moving. Even without this players with good precision in mouse movement should be able move and target better than the ones with keyboard. With lack of animation canceling most other players will not have problem too.
To OP: good work, very interesting. I would never have thought of clicking near character for keyboard movement :P I don't see the need to implement this in game client but if you have fun playing like this, it's great!

How to build an arched stone bridge
It's on Route 9 near Hillsborough, N.H. There are several of these dry-laid stone arch bridges in this part of New Hampshire, most built between 1835 and the 1850s. These bridges rival the stone arched aqueducts built by the Romans. Some of these stone arches have survived for nearly 2,000 years.

What do I need?
Note Prices can change without notice!!!
Frame painting.
Our recommendation is to sand blast or key it with sandpaper
and use the Marine Clean and Metal Ready and then apply two
coats of the Blackcote for a good glossy black finish. We
don't feel you need to use the POR-15 (RPP) first, as in
most cases bikes don't have a major rust problem.

Problem solving.
Q. My Por-15 has bubbled.
A. POR-15 lets off carbon dioxide as it cures. If
coating is too thick or the second coat applied too soon it
will bubble. Wait for it to harden and sand back and apply
another coat.
Q. POR-15 doesn't seem to have adhered properly to
the surface.
A. It hasn't been keyed (sandpaper) properly or Metal
Ready wasn't used, or both.
Q. My top coat seems to be frying on the Tie Coat.
A. The Tie-Coat hasn't cured, probably because it was
put on too thickly and if this is the case it can take weeks
to cure up. With both Acid 8 (cures quicker) and Tie-Coat
they should be just a little more than a dust coat.
Q. I have rust bubbles coming through.
A. The metal wasn't dry prior to painting or only one
coat was applied.
Q. I've left the POR-15 (RPP) for more than 24 hrs,
can I recoat it?
A. The optimum time for re coating POR-15 is 3-5
hours. The adhesion starts to fall off after that. Any time
after 24 hrs we recommend you lightly sand the gloss off it
and the re coat.

Just sit right back: May sweeps, when television networks trot out their finales for seasons and series, begins April 29, and will include the last episode of ABC's "Lost," May 23, about the survivors of a plane crash marooned on an island.
Spoiler alert: The series will end with the revelation that the entire six seasons were just a bad collective dream of the cast of "Gilligan's Island."
2 old 2 text: A new survey by the Pew Research Center finds that three-quarters of teens own cell phones, and 88 percent of those use them to send and receive text messages, which can be a source of conflict between kids and their parents and teachers.
Most teens said it wasn't that they enjoy texting that much, but it offers the advantage of being a form of communication that is perplexing to adults and unlikely to be taken over like Facebook was.
Don't know much about history: On this day in 1901, New York Gov. Benjamin Barker Odell Jr. signed a law that set the speed limit on highways at 15 mph.
The speed limit was followed a year later by a law prohibiting drivers from sending telegrams while behind the wheel: Darling wife stop will be home in 15 minutes stop what's for dinner stop.

Alcaraz-Segura, D; Paruelo, JM; Epstein, HE; Cabello, J (2013). Environmental and Human Controls of Ecosystem Functional Diversity in Temperate South America. REMOTE SENSING, 5(1), 127-154.
AbstractThe regional controls of biodiversity patterns have been traditionally evaluated using structural and compositional components at the species level, but evaluation of the functional component at the ecosystem level is still scarce. During the last decades, the role of ecosystem functioning in management and conservation has increased. Our aim was to use satellite-derived Ecosystem Functional Types (EFTs, patches of the land-surface with similar carbon gain dynamics) to characterize the regional patterns of ecosystem functional diversity and to evaluate the environmental and human controls that determine EFT richness across natural and human-modified systems in temperate South America. The EFT identification was based on three descriptors of carbon gain dynamics derived from seasonal curves of the MODIS Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI): annual mean (surrogate of primary production), seasonal coefficient of variation (indicator of seasonality) and date of maximum EVI (descriptor of phenology). As observed for species richness in the southern hemisphere, water availability, not energy, emerged as the main climatic driver of EFT richness in natural areas of temperate South America. In anthropogenic areas, the role of both water and energy decreased and increasing human intervention increased richness at low levels of human influence, but decreased richness at high levels of human influence.

In the political economy of energy, World War II was a significant watershed: it accelerated the transition from dependence on coal to petroleum and natural gas. At the same time, mobilization provided an unprecedented experience in the management of energy markets by a forced partnership of business and government. In this 1985 book, Vietor covers American policy from 1945 to 1980. For readers convinced that big business contrived the energy crisis of the 1970s, this story will be disappointing, but enlightening. For those committed to theories of regulatory capture or public interest reform it should be frustrating. More than a history of government policy making, this book provides us with an innovative and insightful approach to the study of business-government relations in modern America. For managers, bureaucrats, and anyone interested in seeing a more effective national industrial policy, this history should put the relationship of business and government in a critical new perspective.

APC Baby Dedication
The baby dedication service is a public declaration before God and the Church family, that every child is a gift from God, and that the husband and wife seek God's blessings, guidance, help, and wisdom for the child's upbringing. The parents recognize that with His help they will do their best to set a Biblical example for the child. God places great value on the life of the child. "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him" (Psalms 127:3). This reminds us that children are not only from the Lord but they are a reward from Him. During our service we incorporate these themes by celebrating the birth of your child, praying for your child and praying for you as parents. The baby dedication service is as much a dedication of the husband and wife as parents, as it is for the baby being dedicated.
Babies can be dedicated at any of our three weekend services, which a maximum of three dedications per service.

The authors attempt to formalize some properties which any reasonable control-flow complexity measure must satisfy. Since large programs are often built by sequencing and nesting of simpler constructs, the authors explore how control-flow complexity measures behave under such compositions. They analyze five existing control flow complexity measures-cyclomatic number, total adjusted complexity, scope ratio, MEBOW, and NPATH. The analysis reveals the strengths and weaknesses of these control flow complexity measures.

The IETF's Open Pluggable Edge Services (OPES) working group focuses on rule-based, in-line transformation services of data flows between Internet endpoints, such as Web servers and Web clients. The group has developed an architectural framework to authorize, invoke, and trace such application-level services. The framework follows a one-party consent model, which requires that at least one of the application-layer endpoints explicitly authorize each service. OPES services must also be reversible by request of the application endpoints.

Commenting on recent reports that Syria transferred Scud missiles to Shiite group, White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs says US relayed its concerns to Damascus, warns move could undermine regional stability
Yitzhak Benhorin Published: 04.14.10, 22:41 / Israel News
WASHINGTON - Hezbollah's missiles are managing to pose a threat far beyond Lebanon. White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs on Wednesday confirmed that Washington has expressed its "deep concern" to high-ranking officials in Damascus and Beirut, following reports that Syria has delivered Scud missiles to the Shiite organization.
Gibbs said the US is deeply concerned over suspicions of the transfer of sophisticated weapons. He said that Washington has relayed its concerns to the relevant bodies and believes measures should be taken to remove any threat, as this could undermine stability in the region.
"We are obviously increasingly concerned about the sophisticated weaponry that are - that is allegedly being transferred. We have expressed our concerns to those governments and believe that steps should be taken to reduce - to reduce any risk and any danger of anything from happening," he said.
Shortly afterwards, State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley addressed the issue and told reporters that if the reports prove to be true, this would put Lebanon at significant risk.
"If such an action has been taken, and we continue to analyze this issue ... clearly it potentially puts Lebanon at significant risk," Crowley said.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday quoted US administration officials as saying that the tension between Israel and Syria following reports of arms deliveries would not prevent the US from restoring its envoy to Damascus, and only strengthens the need to do so.
According to the report, American officials who have been updated on the intelligence collected in the matter confirmed that Israel and the US believe Syria is behind the transfer of weapons, which were manufactured using either North Korean or Russian technology.
In an interview with the paper, Hezbollah sources denied the claims and said this was an Israeli attempt to divert the world's attention from the construction in east Jerusalem and the settlements.
A spokesperson from the Syrian embassy in Washington said Israel was making such claims in order to cover up for its military strengthening.

We are interested in understanding the crucial steps that lead to faithful chromosome segregation during meiosis. Meiosis is a specialized cell division that results in the formation of gametes (as sperm and eggs). Unlike mitosis, which concludes in the formation of identical daughters to the progenitor cell, meiosis results in the reduction of the number of chromosomes by half. Therefore, the meiotic division sets the stage for the mixing and matching of genetic information to create novel genetic combinations during sexual reproduction. Errors in the meiotic divisions may result in the formation of aneuploid gametes (gametes with an extra or missing chromosome). Understanding the origin of aneuploidy is crucial since it is the leading known cause for miscarriages and the leading genetic cause for developmental disabilities and mental retardation.
Accurate chromosome segregation during the first meiotic division relies on maintaining the attachments between each pair of homologous chromosomes prior to the onset of the first meiotic division. This attachment is mediated via sister chromatid cohesion and crossover formation. The formation of the synaptonemal complex (SC) is a crucial event unfolding during meiotic prophase I (Figure 1), which allows the stable association of homologous chromosomes and is required for the formation of all obligatory crossover events. It is well established that defects in SC formation lead to aneuploidy, pointing to the central role the SC plays in chromosome segregation.
Given that meiosis is a conserved and fundamental process, it is surprising that many of its features remain poorly understood. Among these are the mechanisms of SC assembly and disassembly. In our lab we investigate these topics, as well as other aspects of meiotic prophase I through the study of C. elegans, an ideal genetic model system. Meiotic prophase nuclei are the majority of nuclei composing the germline of the worm (Figure 2a). These nuclei are arranged in temporal-spatial pattern (Figure 2b), therefore SC morphogenesis can be studied by high resolution microscopy of C. elegans gonads (Figure 2b-e). Through genetic screens for SC morphogenesis defects, we identify and characterize novel proteins essential for SC function. A pilot screen has already resulted in the identification of several meiotic mutants. One of these mutants exhibits high levels of embryonic lethality, associated with severe defects in SC disassembly. Studies of this unique SC morphogenesis defect will allow us to understand how SC disassembly is regulated and the crucial role it plays in proper chromosome segregation. In addition, through a suppressor/enhancer screen of this mutant, we will identify novel genes affecting chromosome segregation via the regulation of SC disassembly. Altogether our studies will lead to a better understanding of the events leading to accurate chromosome segregation, which is essential for improving human health as well as understanding the fundamental biological process of meiosis.
