Xi Jinping takes over reins in China
Xi Jinping took the helm Thursday of a new, trimmed down Communist Party leadership that insiders said was shaped less by the daunting economic and political challenges facing China over the next decade than by bitter personal and factional rivalries within a secretive Party elite, TV reports from Beijing said .
In a surprise move, Xi replaced outgoing Party chief Hu Jintao as head of the powerful Central Military Commission, which controls the armed forces, making Hu the first Communist Chinese leader to cede all formal powers without bloodshed, purges or political unrest. But the new leadership lineup did not include the two figures with the strongest track record on political reform, dimming prospects that a new generation of rulers is committed to tackling vested interests within its own ranks.
Xi, smiling and waving, led a new Politburo Standing Committee—trimmed as expected from nine to seven members—onto a crimson dais in the vast Great Hall of the People in Beijing in a ceremony shown live on state television on Thursday morning.
"Hello everybody. We've made you all wait," Xi said as he began his first speech as China's new leader, appearing about 45 minutes later than expected. "Our Party faces many severe challenges, and there are also many pressing problems within the Party that need to be resolved, particularly corruption, being divorced from the people, going through formalities and bureaucratism caused by some Party officials," he said later in the speech. "We must make every effort to solve these problems. The whole Party must stay on full alert."
Following Xi onto the dais in second place was Li Keqiang who is widely expected to take over from Wen Jiabao as premier and chief steward of the world's second largest economy at a parliament meeting next year.
In third place was Zhang Dejiang, the former vice premier and Party chief of the southwestern city of Chongqing, suggesting that he will become the new head of the rubber-stamp parliament, the National People's Congress, when it holds its annual meeting in March.
Xi Jinping was named head of the Communist Party and Li Keqiang is expected to become the premier. As the WSJ's Li Yuan and Brian Spegele discuss, it is who was left off the list that says the most about China's next government.
But in the fierce contest for the remaining seats on the Standing Committee, some figures linked to Hu and . Wen appeared to have been edged out by protégés of Jiang Zemin, the former Party chief who retired in 2002 but remains a powerful political force.
Jiang's tenure was marked by bold economic reforms, but little progress toward a more transparent and representative political system. Among those who didn't make the new leadership were the two figures in the Party elite most closely associated with political reform - Li Yuanchaothe head of the Party's Organization Department, and Wang Yangthe Party chief of Guangdong province.
The following is the list of chairman, vice chairmen and members of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC):
Chairman: Xi Jinping
Vice Chairmen: Fan Changlong, Xu Qiliang
Members: Chang Wanquan, Fang Fenghui, Zhang Yang, Zhao Keshi, Zhang Youxia, Wu Shengli, Ma Xiaotian, Wei Fenghe
The decision was made at the first plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee on Thursday

The ballistic material is great. The covers could be a little more snug but overall they fit well. I'm sure my seats are a little sof and worn with 260k+ on the truck. Some of the stitching of the Velcro tabs on the head rests looked a little rushed but so far they feel like they will last. They even included 3 different pairs of head rest covers for different styles to choose, not sure if that was intentional or not but it's great to have options. I would buy these again.

AbstractTranscendental numbers play an important role in many areas of science. This paper contains a short survey on transcendental numbers and some relations among them. New inequalities for transcendental numbers are stated in Section 2 and proved in Section 4. Also, in relationship with these topics, we study the exponential function axioms related to the Yang-Baxter equation.

Moby-Dick Chapter 27: Knights and Squires Summary
- Yes, this chapter has the same title as Chapter 26, if you were wondering about that. It has different content, though, so you do have to read it.
- Ishmael (or possibly Melville or an unnamed narrator) describes the second mate, Stubb, who is basically the ultimate laid-back chill guy.
- Stubb is from Cape Cod, and he's a cheerful, "happy-go-lucky" (27.1) individual who never seems to worry about anything. Even in dangerous, stressful situations Stubb remains calm and relaxed and likes to hum little tunes.
- Ishmael suggests that Stubb is able to be so mellow all the time because he smokes so much—the first thing he does in the morning, before he even gets dressed, is to put his pipe in his mouth, and before he goes to bed he smokes a whole row of pipes. (And yes, he's smoking tobacco.)
- All this tobacco smoke seems to ward off anxiety for him... although we don't recommend it as a general strategy.
- Next up is the third mate, Flask, who is from Martha's Vineyard. Flask is Stubb's opposite; instead of being mellow, he's aggro.
- Flask seems to have a serious grudge against whales and doesn't have any sense of them being beautiful or awesome or dangerous.
- Flask's nickname is "King-Post" because he's like the timber brace of a ship that's called by that name.
- Ishmael explains that, if they do find a whale, each of these three mates, Starbuck, Stubb, and Flask, will be in charge of a boat, sort of like being the captain of a military company.
- Each mate has a harpooneer to assist him. So, the mates are sort of like knights, and the harpooneers like squires. (That's why the title of the chapter is ...oh, you get it.)
- Starbuck's harpooneer is Queequeg, whom we know already.
- Stubb's harpooneer is Tashtego. Tashtego is a pureblooded Native American from Martha's Vineyard, and Ishmael sees him as having inherited a warrior and a hunter's spirit. Instead of taking that prowess and hunting beasts on land, though, Tashtego pursues whales. Hmm, stereotype much?
- Flask's harpooneer is Daggoo, an African tribesman who chose to join a whaling ship that landed on the coast of his native country when he was young. Daggoo isn't very acculturated; he's only been in Africa, Nantucket, and different whaling ports, so he retains most of his tribal customs. He's tall and proud and makes Flask look "like a chess-man beside him" (27.9).
- The rest of the crew of the Pequod, Ishmael (or perhaps Melville) tells us, is equally diverse.
- In whaling, just as in the military and in construction crews, only about half the workers are white Americans. (These are the numbers the text gives, but we'd have to check our history to know if they're accurate.)
- Most of the Pequod's crew are South Sea Islanders like Queequeg.
- Ishmael or Melville hints that most of these crewmembers aren't going to return from this voyage— "Black Little Pip" never did. (This is the first we've heard of Pip, but apparently he has a tragic end. So don't get too attached.)

House Passes Bill Requiring Obama to Speed Up Oil Leasing
The Republican-led U.S. House passed legislation that would give the Obama administration deadlines to sell offshore oil leases, a bid to limit a surge in oil prices and cut the nation's dependence on imported fuel.
The bill sponsored by House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Doc Hastings, a Washington Republican, would give the Interior Department four months to auction central Gulf of Mexico leases and a year for leases off the Virginia coast. The vote was 266-149, with 33 Democrats joining Republicans.
The measure is a part of the House Republican plan to boost U.S. offshore oil output 76 percent by 2027 and coincides with a 37 percent jump in gasoline prices in the past 12 months. The Senate hasn't considered a similar bill. President Barack Obama dropped plans to allow exploration off the Atlantic coast after a BP Plc well blew out last year, causing the worst U.S. offshore oil spill.
"The pain being felt today has been exacerbated by the actions of this administration, who for the past two years have repeatedly blocked, hindered and raised the cost to access to our American energy resources," Hastings said during a debate today in Washington. The bill "is necessary to hold our feet to the fire, and to ensure that these lease sales move forward."
Representative Rush Holt, a New Jersey Democrat and member of Hastings' committee, called the Republican bills "amnesia acts" because they ignored lessons from the spill, which spewed 4.9 million barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
Administration Opposition
The Obama administration said it opposed the Republicans' bills, because they would undercut safety reforms put in place after the spill.
"The Republicans are debating more drilling without more safety," said Representative Edward Markey of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on the resources panel.
The measure is the first of three that Republicans are pushing to increase offshore production to 3 million barrels a day in 2027 from 1.7 million barrels a day in 2010. Measures that may be debated next week require the Interior Department to make decisions on permit applications within 60 days and establish a domestic oil and natural gas production goal.
Frances Beinecke, president of the New York-based Natural Resources Defense Council, said it was "misleading and wrong" to suggest the Republican plan will lower gas prices.
"More drilling only means more profits for the oil industry," Beinecke, a member of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, said in a statement.
Petroleum Reserve
Lawmakers debated whether Obama should release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Markey told reporters today oil prices fell 33 percent in 1991 when President George H.W Bush released oil from the reserve and 19 percent when President Bill Clinton released crude in 2000.
House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said high gas prices didn't warrant a release.
"The same Democrats who voted to close down American energy production now want to look for a way out of their problem," he said. "It's there for an emergency," Boehner said of the reserve.

I want to make a Top 10 list and at the end of one post you click a button to go to #9, then a button for #8 on that post, and so on and so fourth.
Problem is if I just make new posts then ALL posts are displayed on homepage and on "Recent Posts." I want all the post to be considered part of one post.

Dealing with the developing situation in the eurozone

Alex Henderson and Graham Robinson discuss some of the financing issues that many companies will face, especially as they approach the year end.
But tax isn't the only issue they'll need to deal with. By looking at their current commercial structures and contractual arrangements we've been helping clients see where the risks lie and how they can manage these.
Penny Bruce explains to Alex Henderson how risks can be managed by looking at current commercial structures and contractual agreements.
Proactively identifying tax and legal issues helps to address risks (and associated costs), and can lead to opportunities to support a positive commercial strategy which will see the business through and beyond the current crisis.

How does a 24-inch water pipeline get installed when the project's 2009 environmental impact statement called for an 18-inch water pipeline? (Times Herald-Record article April 9). I would have thought that someone from the state DEC or the New York City agency involved in this matter would have verified that the pipe size was in compliance with the agreement.
Knowing the importance of this project, someone from Woodbury or Harriman should also have been present as soon as the first pipe appeared on site. I hope someone in our
county government leads an investigation to see who approved of this change. But I doubt this will ever happen.

It should not come as a surprise to the vast majority of the Town of Monroe residents who are not presently represented by the Monroe Town Board's Supervisor Harley Doles that board member Dan Burke attended the Monroe Village Board meeting last week.
His sole purpose was to have Emily Convers removed from the village Planning Board as an alternate member. Convers is chairman of the Monroe United Party and a resident of the Village of Monroe and, it should be added, received nearly 100 percent of the November election vote, excluding those of Kiryas Joel voters.
It must have been a shock to Burke to find the Monroe village meeting absent of armed security guards, a public allowed to speak their thoughts, an agenda not set by the board only but including the residents, and a board interested in serving the whole community above its self-interest and party affiliation, not just serving one voting bloc of the community.
We would hope he was given a reward for his misguided efforts from Doles for his blind support of a Town Board with its own agenda.

(Port Angeles) -- Union workers at Nippon Paper in Port Angeles are back on the job today.
About 130 of them, walked off the job last week after Nippon imposed a best, final offer on a contract.
The two sides had been negotiating for nearly two years.
Union leaders agreed to return to their jobs Friday after workers walked picket lines for two days.
The union and Nippon are still expected to sit down with a federal mediator in the next week or so.
The union filed an unfair labor practices complaint against the company.
The mill employs about 200 people in Port Angeles.

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall hosted a reception in support of survivors of rape and sexual abuse at Clarence House yesterday (Feb 5).
She organised the reception in order to bring together political figures, rape support groups and rape survivors. Guests at the event included Home Secretary Theresa May and Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer.
Since 2009 the Duchess has visited nine Rape Crisis and Sexual Assault Referral Centres in the UK, meeting a number of victims of rape and sexual abuse.
Their stories left her with a strong desire to raise awareness about rape and help those affected.
In an impassioned speech to guests yesterday she said: 'Over the past few years, I have seen for myself some of the remarkable work being undertaken by representatives of rape crisis organisations, the National Health Service and the police across the country.
'During my visits to some of these centres I have been so impressed by the professionalism and commitment of the individuals who provide a lifeline to the women, the children and the men, who have been left shamed and traumatised and made to feel so worthless through no fault of their own.
'Perhaps, from this small beginning, we will be able to build a future where society will simply not tolerate rape and sexual abuse any longer.'
Survivor Mia James chatted to The Duchess for several minutes following her speech. She said: 'I just thanked her for her support.
'We need somebody high profile to raise awareness for the common man, because our juries are made up of each and every one of us - and each and every one of us has misconceptions about rape, misconceptions about the causes of rape.
'It's a case of wanting to get the message out as to what it's all about, and I'm really happy we've got The Duchess doing that.'
Mr Starmer said 'hard work' was needed to increase the confidence of victims to help encourage them to report rape, adding that the Duchess's contribution was 'really positive.'
'It's fantastic that she's shown such a level of commitment to this important area,' he said.
'Bringing these people together is a very significant step. We're working together more than we were - but we need to continue to do so.'
A spokesperson from Clarence House confirmed that today's meeting was the first time such a wide range of representatives from various UK groups had met to focus solely on issues surrounding rape and sexual abuse.
Currently the Duchess is implementing a pilot scheme where victims of rape and sexual abuse who have undergone a forensic examination will receive a washbag full of toiletries so they can have a shower. This two-year pilot will run at the Haven Centres in London and if successful will be rolled out across the country.

STUTTGART, Germany -- Temperatures were well-below freezing on Dec. 3, but that didn't keep families in U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart from coming to Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation's annual Winterfest event, held from 4-9 p.m. next to Husky Field on Patch Barracks.
Perhaps it was because several community youngsters took the stage to sing or dance, including the Patch Elementary School Chorus, PES German Immersion Class (with partner school SchAfAPnbuch Schule), Child, Youth and School Services Schools of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration and Skills dance classes and several Boy Scout and Cub Scout packs. Or, it could have been because the children were begging to go on the "Buckin' Rudolph," carousel or toboggan ride.
To help community members stay warm, local organizations set up fest booths to sell bratwurst, hot chocolate, GlAfA1/4hwein, cookies and other goodies. Those who stayed until 6 p.m. were rewarded by a visit from Santa Claus himself, who arrived in traditional Winterfest style in a fire truck and participated in lighting the trees with help from U.S. Africa Command Commander Gen. William E. "Kip" Ward and Garrison Commander Col. Carl D. Bird.
Santa also took pictures with children at the Patch Multi-Crafts center.

Microsoft's Surface ain't dead yet — but it could certainly be doing better.
In its earnings report today, Microsoft revealed that Surface sales have jumped 50 percent since last year, reaching nearly $500 million. But, that pales in comparison to the Surface performance in the previous quarter, when Surface sales rang in $893 million.
Most companies selling consumer electronics typically see a huge bump in sales during the holiday season, so the Surface's quarterly decline isn't too surprising. But at this point, I'd expect an even bigger year-over-year jump for the tablet.
Last year's Surface lineup didn't sell very well because the Surface RT simply wasn't very good. The Surface 2 and Surface 2 Pro, on the other hand, are both solid productivity tablets.
Many people expect Microsoft to round out its Surface lineup next month with a smaller Surface Mini, which leaked early via an Amazon listing.

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]========
In addition to pitch and shellac I also use thermoplastic for some
things.. it is sold as jett-sett or other trade names and holds work
quite stable. It is great if the piece is rectangular or long and
the work- say a border or repetitive pattern is to be raised as the
jett-sett forms to the piece and the flexible and not-as flexible
types both have enough give so as not to shatter when raising your
design (If you are copying a pattern to raise it also works
adequately for a rigid mould) I have a couple of chunky leather
circles about 2 inches thick and 6 inches in diameter that are great
for repousse - mine came off of old window weights, and I have a
square one I removed from a mallet. they work quite well as is. I
have attached fine silver and gold sheet to the circular one by
creating a rim of setters cement (a combination of flake shellac,
plaster and wax- much like the green sealing wax blocks that can be
found at jewelers suppliers, stationers and hardware stores) all
around the edge. It bonds enough to hold anything in place for work-
then if too large an area to hold smaller discs it will come off in
a ring by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes and removing
with a sharp rap on the bench edge-I can then remelt it and pour it
where i need it to hold any smaller disc as opposed to covering the
entire top with cement which is an option but I use a pitch bowl for
that very reason as sometimes I like the give of the leather when
doing finer work than, for instance, a bunch of peined depressions
like grapes or all over hammering before pressing a piece of
holloware. As for lead- I have a few cakes of it around, but they are
best for casting anthill sculptures (each one is unique-though the
killing of the ants is a karmicly questionable practise) as opposed
to using it in jewelry making !! Pitch or setters cement is far safer
to use for raising/repousse. If using lead to make a mould for
customised stakes, hammers, tools, etc, I melt and pour it
outdoors..If you do use it for operations in the shop wrapping and
storing the cakes in glove or kid leather is best..it is dangerous
stuff left over from earlier times when we did not know what we know
today about how easily it is absorbed through the skin..rer

text: I saw a shawl pattern that is called a reader's shawl. It looks slightly shaped over the shoulders and the ends are knit and folded up to form pockets. The only pattern I have been able to find so far is 40's or 50's (from the look of the model) and knit in Bulky yarn. I would like to make one from a much softer yarn, probably slightly heavier than sport but not the #5 Bulky the pattern I found calls for.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Pulstar Pulse Plugs from Enerpulse Inc. are designed to replace traditional spark plugs and provide quick throttle response for V-twin cruiser owners.
The company reports that the Pulse Plugs are not like conventional spark plugs in that electrical energy that supplies the spark is stored in a built-in capacitor. According to Enerpulse this helps improve combustion efficiency and help boost power.
The be1it size fits a number of applications including the Honda Gold Wing and VTX 1800s; BMW bikes ranging from 800CC to 1200CC; and Harley-Davidson models with a displacement between 1200CC and 1340CC; and Star Motorcycles' V-Star line. The he1it size is ideal for American Iron Horse, BMW, Honda, Harley Davidson (twin cam), and more than 640 motorcycle applications.
These plugs are part of Enerpulse's Powersport line of Pulstar Pulse Plugs and work well with many powersport applications including ATVs and snowmobiles.

Please make it descriptive, graphic, and if anything burnt or

Include an approximate timeline of when things happened and when it was all working again (if ever).
This somewhat relates to the earlier post A SAN is a single point-of-failure, too. Somehow people get into scenarios where highly virtualised environments with SANs get things like replication and everything, but it all runs on the same hardware and SAN backend. So if this admittedly very nice hardware fails (and it will!), the degree of "we're stuffed" is particularly high. …

Narcissism, Psychopathy and Evil
|Posted by Dr. Dorothy McCoy on October 30, 2013 at 2:55 PM
Narcissism, Psychopathy, and Evil
DELANY DEAN, JD, PhD
KC Mindfulness
Introduction: During both my professional careers (criminal law and psychology), two areas of particular interest to me have been psychopathy and narcissism. Psychopathy is generally viewed as a particularly virulent form of narcissism, in which the person is not only very much focused on herself, or himself, but also highly manipulative, sometimes sadistic, and very much into control and power. One prominent characteristic of psychopathy is the presence of what is usually called a "glib, superficial charm." These people are usually able, at least in the short term, to win over others very easily. They would generally be described as "very attractive" people (on the surface). Sometimes a person who merits the designation "psychopath" goes into a path of criminal activity (many, but not all, serial killers are psychopaths, and criminals known as "con artists" are often psychopaths); other times, the psychopath will be engaged in a legitimate career (politics, academia, corporate leadership). The key is not the type of activity the person engages in, but the degree of control s/he exercises over others.
Underneath the superficial charm, the narcissist/psychopath always has a "me-first" mentality. If you work with such a person, you may begin to see signs that s/he thinks that everything is about her; and, crucially, it will become clear that control/power is a major part of her game plan. However, this can be well concealed beneath a veneer of friendliness and concern for others; it may not become clearly evident until s/he receives what is known as a "narcissistic injury." A person who is truly narcissistic will respond with extreme anger if s/he receives a challenge to her ego (an ego that is both fragile, and strongly defended). This response may look like an overblown rage fit, following a minor slight; or it may take the form of a cold vindictiveness, administered by acts of retaliation. These responses can be very shocking, even frightening, to the person who unwittingly triggered or evoked the narcissistic injury (by getting in the way of the narcissist's plans, for example, or by displaying a lack of full approval and appreciation for the narcissist's brilliant ideas).
A good non-technical book about this phenomenon is: The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout [the term "sociopath" is closely related to the term "psychopath"].
Some good web resources about the phenomenon known as "narcissistic rage" are in my "del.icio.us" links (click over in the side column on this blog, where it says "And, Check Out…"). One of them is from the "Dr. Sanity" website.
Recently, Nature magazine published a great article [pdf] on the neuroscience of psychopaths, as investigated by an ingenious study being run by a group of Dutch researchers. Psychopaths are rare individuals who display what is sometimes called "malignant narcissism," a capacity to use any situation for their own gain, with total disregard for the inconvenience or even suffering that their behavior might cause to others. At their worst, they may also be sadistic. Although it is sometimes said that they lack impulse control, the opposite may be true: many of these guys (most psychopaths are male) are very methodical. Here are excerpts from the article:
"Although there is a higher number of psychopaths among violent criminals, a psychopath is not necessarily someone who is violent.
"The term describes someone who is considered to lack empathy or conscience, is superficially charming, manipulative, has 'shallow affect' (doesn't have a big emotional range) and has poor impulse control. More recently, psychopathy has become synonymous with the use of the PCL-R, the diagnostic tool also known as the Hare Psychopathy Checklist after it's creator and psychopathy researcher Robert Hare.
"The Dutch team… are working with psychopaths who are in prison for presumably quite serious crimes, precisely because they lack empathy. They are comparing the brain activation between psychopaths and non-psychopaths when they view material that communicates emotions and normally evokes an empathy-driven reaction. By looking at which brain areas are less active in the presumably empathy-less psychopaths, they hope to find out the crucial empathy-related brain circuits.
"There are more details about the study in the article, but one bit is particularly interesting, wherein one of the participants, from a high security prison, comments on the study. He says that, when he entered the prison five years ago, 'borderline personality' was the fashionable term, and his designated pigeonhole. Later, he was diagnosed as a psychopath; about this switch, he says: 'The psychopathy label is more damaging — it prompts everyone to see you as a potential serial killer, which I could never be.' But [this prisoner] also wears his PCL-R score as a badge of honour: 'I think my high psychopath score is a talent, not a sickness — I can make good strong decisions, and it's good to have some distance with people.'
"Interestingly, [these points] have also been made in the psychological literature. Ian Pitchford proposed in a 2001 article that psychopathy could be an evolutionary advantage for a minority of individuals, as it allows them act violently or antisocially without any emotional cost to themselves. Furthermore, discussion in both the psychological and legal literature has focused on whether labelling someone a 'psychopath' is unjustly stigmatising.
One article even goes as far as to suggest that 'psychopathy' is just a modern term we've invented to replace the world 'evil'." See the pdf of Nature article 'Scanning Psychopaths'.

"Interesting stories" are at the center of The Bylines' art-pop repertoire and its debut, self-titled album released earlier this year.
The Portland-based project is fronted by vocalist Marianna Thielsen and pianist Reece Marshburn, who tour as a duo but play with a seven-piece band at home.
The Bylines, formerly called Marianna and the Baby Vamps, changed its name in January as it began playing less Motown and retro pop and more originals.
Their new album illustrates the band's story-driven music, which Thielsen describes as "pop but with more sophistication and jazz harmonies thrown in."
Marshburn, who majored in jazz studies at Western Washington University, and Thielsen, who majored in musical theater at the University of Northern Colorado, collaborate on the lyrics and arrangements.
The pair will perform a free show at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15, at Liquid Assets, 96 N. Main St., Ashland.
Call 541-482-9463 or see www.thebylines.com.

My fingers and hands become tingly,stinging pain.Wet,burning feeling across butt. I cannot sweep a floor,stand to do dishes walk through a store, nothing seems to stop the pain except sitting, but thats when my fingers go tingly and sting beyond belief. I have large breasts, been in car accident with whiplash,diagnosed with Scoliosis when I was younger, and am over weight..Is there any one specific diagnosis that causes all these symptoms or a combination? I want to cry just to stand and its causing severe depression for me. Is there help out there and whom do I go to ?READ MORE
I'm sorry about all your troubles. You really should be able to get a specific diagnosis that states exactly where your doctors believe your problems start. With that medical information you can hopefully get second opinions on the right treatment regime for you. (Apparently the one you're on isn't working). If you have complex problems its important to find an integrative pain clinic that uses multiple approaches to pain from behavioral (meditation/mindfulness) to drugs to physical approaches. (Pain.com has a program you can use to search for clinics)
It's important as well to address the almost inevitable burdens of depression and sadness over your limitations since those can substantially add to your illness burden. John Kabat Zinn has written a book called "Full Catastrophe Living" that addresses living with pain and many other books are available.
Finding the best way to deal with chronic pain often takes years. Good luck on your search.

Goodbye, hello
One of the most famous love triangles in the annals of celebrity history is that of rockstars George Harrison and Eric Clapton and the woman they were both married to at some point in their lives: British model Pattie Boyd, who inspired both musicians to write a few of their best songs (Something by Harrison and Layla and Wonderful Tonight by Clapton). Boyd, who was first married to Harrison, married Clapton in 1979. Not only did Harrison play at their wedding party (in what became a famous almost-reunion of the Beatles;John Lennon didn't attend), the two men remained friends too, jokingly calling each other husbands-in-law.
While that kind of camaraderie may be too much to hope for, it is not unusual to hear of couples who have managed to put the hurt and resentment behind them and stay on cordial terms. They may not be spending weekends together in Thailand, but some exes do enjoy the occasional cup of coffee together, go shopping for the kids or even give relationship advice to the ex.
Anita Gracias, a Bangalore-based counselor with the Sahai helpline, recalls one such couple: "The ex-wife was initially bitter and refused to talk to her ex-husband or his new wife, whom he had left her for, but she slowly reconciled to the fact that her daughter needed her father. Also, and I know this sounds terrible, her ex-husband left his second wife too and married a third time. By that time she had accepted him, warts and all, and was actually friendly with him and his third wife. " In fact, says Gracias, she stood by the couple when her ex was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
A crisis often brings an estranged couple together. For 36-year-old Shahana Roychowdhury, her father's illness and subsequent death, during which her exhusband rallied around, providing emotional and logistical support and taking care of their seven-yearold daughter, proved to be the point at which she let go of resentments and accepted her ex-husband as part of their lives. "I wouldn't say we are great friends now or that I've completely forgiven him for cheating on me, but we are calmer in each other's company today and can actually have a conversation about things other than our personal lives... about books, films, music, " says Rowchowdhury.
Typically, the years immediately following a divorce are fraught with tension, says Gracias. But as the two aggrieved parties get some emotional distance, they tend to become objective about the problems in the marriage and are more likely to accept responsibility for their own mistakes. Ashok Rangarajan, 37, who has been separated from his wife for almost four years though their formal divorce is yet to come through, feels time and distance have definitely helped in mellowing his wife's anger towards him. This has allowed the two to share a better relationship today - as least as far as their 10-year-old son is concerned. "It took time for us to get here. Initially my wife had taken a restraining order against me and I wasn't even allowed to meet my son, " says Rangarajan. "I believe the fact that I stayed strong and firm while remaining fair and fighting clean helped. I willingly shared the money from selling joint assets and walked away from many fights, and I think this made my wife realise that while I was no pushover, I wasn't an outright villain either. "
Rangarajan is a deeply religious person who believes in the power of rituals - his wife and he recently came together to mark their son's upanayanam or thread ceremony despite potential awkwardness - and says he often wishes there was a ritual for divorce, a sanctified process that would signify an ending and bring closure.

Best Uses
They don't last long, payed full price and a year later one of them has a hole in the toe already. They are nice for driving. But if you do much walking in them they won't last long. They still look like new, was going to have a cobbler look at them to see if he thought he could do anything with them and if the expense would be worth it.
I just purchased these shoes at FULL PRICE!!! 'Now they are on sale?!
If you have wide feet, don't order these.
Best Uses
I bought the Driving Mocs for my husband for his Birthday, he loves them.
Best Uses
I bought these because they're good looking brown shoes (perfect for casual wear in the office where black dress shoes aren't required every day) and they slip on and off, which is important with how much I travel. There's not much to them, so they pack easily when I don't need them and finally, they're great for driving! With shoes that have a heel, my feet end up falling asleep on those long drives and being so lightweight, you can accurately feel the pedals without having to buy (and be seen wearing) more expensive shoes like Piloti's.

A full night's rest can end those I'm-too-sore gripes that make you skip Spin class. "Sleep is the most important part of physical recovery," says Peter Walters, Ph.D., professor of applied health science at Wheaton College, who has studied sleep patterns in athletes. One reason: While you snooze, your body releases 80 percent of its total production of human growth hormone, the fuel created in your brain's pituitary gland that repairs and strengthens muscles. Fewer aches mean you'll enjoy exercise more and want to do it more often.
Colette De Barros
If you're sleep-deprived, a 30-minute power nap in the afternoon can help you sprint faster during a subsequent workout, researchers at Liverpool John Moores University say. (Woo-hoo, higher calorie burn!) For optimal results, shake off any siesta grogginess by leaving a one-hour window between waking and exercising, the study's authors recommend.
Clocking two extra hours a night for six weeks helped basketball players up their shooting percentage by 9 percent, the Stanford Sleep Disorders Clinic and Research Laboratory reports. "No time!" you say? Even 30 minutes more each night may improve skills during activities that take focus and determination, scientists say. That translates to better performance, in a boot camp class or at the office.
Stephanie Rausser
Try a P.M. workout. If you're done two hours before bed, it may not disturb your sleep, a Finnish study suggests.
Tom Rafalovich
The rule of thumb is to get seven to nine hours a night, Walters says, but the exact tally varies from person to person. Find yours: Choose a regular time to hit the sheets, and sleep as long as you can each night. (Begin on a weekend. At first, you'll probably doze longer to make up for the missed hours.) Repeat until you're consistently logging the same amount of sleep; that's your slumber requirement! Notch it nightly to get your better-body benefits.

More than 100 people attended the Ninth annual Heritage Gala held Saturday evening at the historic Roane County Courthouse in Kingston.
All funds raised from the event go back into restoration of the 157-year-old building, which is one of only seven antebellum courthouses still standing in Tennessee.
This year's gala is the first to be held in the recently refurbished upstairs courtroom.
"We had planned to last year, but the elevator failed inspection," said Darleen Trent of the Roane County Heritage Commission.
A longtime Roane State employee, Roane State alumni and Harriman resident will be recommended as the next Roane State Community College president.
Chris Whaley, currently vice president of student learning and chief academic officer at Roane State, will be recommended by Chancellor John Morgan to the full Tennessee Board of Regents and ask them to approve him in a special telephonic meeting on Monday, Oct. 1, at 3 p.m.
Officials with Roane County Schools expect a surplus when the $32 million building program is finished.
"It looks like we're going to have in excess of $1 million remaining," Director of Schools Gary Aytes said at last week's Board of Education meeting.
"Any items that have been purchased, but not paid, we've accounted for, we think," added Lee Maines, who was hired to oversee the $32 million program for the school system. "We feel pretty good about our numbers."
It wasn't a bolt of lighting, but it was just as dangerous and had the same effect.
Rockwood native Wesley Strader was employed as a high-wire lineman for Tennessee Valley Authority when he was nearly electrocuted during an accident at work.
That's when he made the decision to do something different with his life.
"I had nightmares about it," said Strader, 40, now living in Spring City.
Life hasn't been easy for Harriman attorney Donice Butler in recent years.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer, underwent a double mastectomy and had months of chemotherapy.
County records show that she owes money because of unpaid taxes.
Her ability to practice law is also in jeopardy.
The state board that oversees the conduct of attorneys has received multiple complaints about Butler.
Bill Thompson has never been one to mince words on Rockwood's financial affairs — and a gathering of city officials last week was no exception.
"Yay!" he proclaimed enthusiastically during the first meeting of the city's new finance committee. "This looks a whole lot better than it's looked before."
The number that had the Rockwood City Council member cheering was $185,711.83 — the Aug. 31 ending balance in the city's general fund.
Alan Schneider, the owner of Bayside Marina, continues to find himself in legal trouble. His latest arrest happened last Thursday in Kingston.
According to the arrest report, Schneider struck a car on Gallaher Road.
"He then continued southbound on Gallaher Road in the turn lane, passing vehicles in a reckless manner," the report said. "He traveled onto I-40 westbound and exited at the 352 and was finally stopped on Kingwood Street by Sgt. Jamie Melton."
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam stopped in Oliver Springs Tuesday afternoon bearing gifts — including two grants for improvements to the small city's water system and two parks.
"We're here actually presenting a total of $960,000 in funds to different entities throughout Anderson County. We are proud to do that," Haslam said.
Oliver Springs, which straddles Roane, Anderson and Morgan counties, received a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant for its water system.
The grant requires a match by the city of $37,700 in local funds.
A new way of fiberglass fabrication may not just save money but help the environment too.
Daycab Co. hosted a three-day class on the latest technology in fabrication of fiberglass parts for a variety of industries from motorcycle and boats to its own, which is replacing sleeper cabs on trucks with daycabs fabricated in their Roane County Industrial Park facilities.
The process includes using the shape of a mold for a part to make a silicon bag.
Interest in Roane County's parks and recreation job is high. County Executive Ron Woody said his office received more than 30 applications for the director's position.
The deadline to submit applications was Sept. 14.
"We could end up interviewing 10 or 15 of these folks," Woody said.
Former director Tony Brown went to work for the road department, which created the opening.
Brown was making $41,863, but $15,000 of that was for serving as the county's litter grant coordinator.

Q: I am presently in escrow for a home that has five bathrooms and a pool. There are three water heaters. The home has been inspected by a thorough inspector, and I was present during most of the inspection. There is a problem with one of the water heaters, and the inspector pointed out the problems in the report. My concern is the three water heaters. The pressure seems low when I test the bathtubs. I would like to know whether a tankless water heater would help me conserve and save money?
A: A tankless whole-house water heater, one with a high British Thermal Unit rating and high flow rate will, in the long run, save you 20 percent to 50 percent over the costs of a standard water heater. In addition, a tankless water heater will have a longer useful life expectancy compared with storage heaters. You can either install one high-flow, tankless water heater for the whole house or install individual, on-demand heaters for high-use appliances, such as the dishwasher or washing machine.
When shopping for tankless water heaters, look for:
1) Venting requirements. Check with local code officials on how and where the unit can be vented. A standard water heater is typically vented through a B-vent metal pipe. You probably will have to upgrade to a category-III, stainless-steel venting system.
2) Gas supply or electrical supply. The gas pipes you now have may not be adequate for the newer units. Electrical requirements may demand the wiring you now have be replaced or upgraded. All of these factors add to the costs of installation, but I still prefer the tankless water heaters, and I am sure the energy savings will offset the additional costs in a just a few years.
A buyer's guide for tankless water heaters can be found at www.tanklesswaterheaterguide.com. Also consider adding a booster pump to the home's main water-supply pipe if the flow rate is low.

I was over the moon, and crying with laughter. It couldn't have happened to a better man. He's just a cowardly thug, who goes round trying to injure players, and look what he did to Tevez. Could you imagine him doing that to Keane or Cantona? I don't think so!
Obviously at the actual moment it was a case of "yes", I dont see how you can be a united fan and not be relieved. But I dont see how you could be so relaxed as to be rolling on the floor laughing either unless you are neutral or in need of psychiatric help.
After the initial explosion of joy, lasting several minutes, my earliest thoughts were for terry though. Unless he wins the european cup (lets just forget about ever winning the world cup) he will never get over it.
Since then, and especially since that nauseating letter, I've decided he's a bit of a big girls blouse. I refer again to Gareth Southgate's inversion of Shankly's famous quote.

All this media hype about Terry missing a penalty and how brave he was to come back to captain england is in my opinion a load of nonsense.Grown dont miss a penalty and then lie on the ground crying,what sort of leadership is that showing.Personally i think the two pressure penalties were the fifth united pen taken by nani who knew if he missed it was all over for his team and the last one taken by Anelka but i suppose in hindsight the one taken by the Chelsea player who took their 6th one was also a pressure penalty.

Victor, grow up you sexist pig.
Ian, I don't tell you how to say things and blah blah blah. In fact, half the time I ignore whatever you post on there because I don't have the time for such nonsense.
So grow up and allow me to have my say and leave it at that. If you think I'm a traitor then say it. I don't care.
It was more relief and an increase in belief that the CL trophy was heading back to Old Trafford again.
When Ronaldo missed I thought Chelsea had it, but heart felt thanks to Terry for missing the vital penatly.
I do not see why anyone should feel sorry for him.
A Yahoo! User Jun 2, 2008 20:10 Flag
When John Terry fluffed the penalty I must admit I fell on the floor and pissed myself - also it was one of the funniest moments when the TV cameras zoomed in on him to see the floods of tears. Hhahahaha. Priceless!
I for one hope he never gets over it. He will need some sort of counciling for a long long time.

Post subject: Honest opinions
Do you think its weird to give an English child a japanese name? I have no japanese heritage but I have fallen in love with a name just from the wsy it looks but its japanese and sounds very unusual lol but I just think it's so pretty. I picked avas name thinking it was unusual but it became very popular. I cant see this being used by everyone but is it also unfair for one child (my first) to have a common name (that's german) and have another with a very very unusual name thats Japanese..? I feel like im taking a risk if I do it.. xx
Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2013 7:10 pm
Post subject:
I agree with nutty I think if its an obvious japanese name I think it would be a bit odd but obviously there are no rules when it comes to choosing a name and its completely your choice but I would think long & hard for your child with a very different name when she is growing up, especially with things like bullying. Kids can be so cruel.
Im intrigued with what name u are thinking???!!!!! Can u divulge anymore??!!!! Xx
Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2013 8:13 pm
Post subject:
Its Ayame. I just love the way it looks and I love the meaning. It means japanese iris which is a very symbolic flower. As for unusual names mine is Ailsa and ive never met another but I was never bullied but thats defo crossed my mind as youre right some kids can be nasty.
I just find all the English/normal names to be either too dull, too old fasioned or too popular. Plus im too fussy.
I picked ava thinking it was rare and im gutted there is an ava in her playgroup. I assume that with this name nobody else will have it. Although its very unusual I think its pretty. Where as with my name, its ugly and unusual. The meaning of my name is rubbish too lol but I dont mind it too much just hate being asked if im polish upon meeting strangers.. or midwuves calling me alison or aleshia but thats just irritating rather than offensive xx
Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2013 8:59 pm
Post subject:
The only thing I'd say is how is it pronounced, can you type how its pronounced, ie is it I-ame, is it Amy? Only reason I ask is you don't want it to sound too similar too Ava.
The other thing to remember is if its very unusal, noone will know how to spell it, and I can assure you, that its VERY VERY annoying having to spell out your name every time someone asks you for it, and I have a pretty common name, but both my forename and surname can be spelt in a multitude of ways and everyone asks how to spell both halves, even when I get married my married name also is going to cause issues
Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2013 9:06 pm
Post subject:
Yeh my name is ailsa so I get the whole 'how do you spell that' or I get called Alison, alishia etc because people cant seem to read
Ayame is pronounced ah-ya-may/mee.. so could be shortened to may or mimi. The only other name I like is aimee, or amellie (french for Emily) lol really want to keep the 'a' theme as we are all a's xx
Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2013 9:25 pm
Post subject:
I love Amelie but I was worried about how people would pronounce it. I also really liked Ava for Shannah but now it's become so popular that I'm glad I didn't (no offence). I don't think that name sounds too crazy at all but I do think it sounds a bit like... when somebody tries to take a normal name and changes the spelling to make it different? That would be the part that puts me off. I think if I had another girl I would choose Amelie.
Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2013 9:27 pm
Post subject:
I think for me its important she has a unique name. Its what I wanted for ava. I dont want my girls to go to schook with other girls with the same name. Although I used to hate having a weird name I love it now as its a great conversation starter. Ive never been bullied or anything the onky annoying thing is when I have to keep spelking it and re pronounced it for people xx

No offence taken.. I agree its far too common now. Thays why I like the name ayame because I know it wont trend pkus its meaning is beautiful. It basically means a flower (the japanese iris) that represents wisdom, courage, trust and valor. Just so powerful.
Im so fussy ive seen names I really like but the meanings are too boring and dont have much history. Reading the history of the meaning of ayame makes me feel quite proud to name her that. I didnt realise it earlier but my ohs unckes name is japanese and so is his cousins
I honestly never found choosing avas name so difficult lol xx

Ahhh thank you so much. I think im going to go with it. It will take getting used to as its so unusual but I want something a little different. I know if I called her something to keep others happy I would regret it and feel forced into calling my baby something I didnt have my heart set on. The way I see it is its the first name me and oh both like (and the first name I love) so thats all that matters. There will be people that love it and people that hate it. My friend called her baby story and I think thats more unusual.. if she can get away with it then surely I can xx

My actual name is Angharad and, living in the midlands, rather than Wales I have had years of it being mis spelt, pronounced badly, I got a fair amount of grief at school and I now don't really use it, other than with immediate family. We're the same - I don't want a common name but I would never want my child to have the experience I did. There's a lot to be said for a name that is recognisable but still not common. It's worth bearing in mind - I'm very aware that this baby had to deal with this name for the rest of their life and individual and unique is good. But my experience of it wasn't great ( I'm not scarred for life - I just got fed up of spelling it and correcting people's pronunciation) and it changed how I viewed naming my babies. If you like it, go for it!

1 Sep, 2005: The race calendar for the A1 Grand Prix races (or World Cup of Motorsports, if you prefer) has been confirmed. The first ever world cup of motor sports will have 24 races, over 12 weekends. This
is the only motorsports event in which countries will face each other in similarly-speced race cars. So, unlike in F1, A1 GP promises to offer a truer test of driver skills. 24 countries have agreed to participate in the races, and testing of the A1 GP cars are in full swing. Which means that almost 80 % of the world's population will be represented in the new motorsport - World Cup of Motor Sports.
A1 Grand Prix Founder, President and Chairman Sheikh Maktoum said: 'I am delighted to confirm the race calendar for the first-ever World Cup of Motorsport. We have spoken to A1 Teams, national governments and most importantly our fans to produce a schedule that promises to deliver exciting, high-speed racing across every habitable continent. A1 Grand Prix is about making motorsport accessible, with affordable tickets to popular locations. To have up to 25 A1 race cars, each proudly presenting their national sponsors, competing at circuits in both developed and developing markets, will be a remarkable spectacle for both new and traditional race fans.'
The first ever A GP race will be at Brands Hatch, Great Britain on 25 September 2005.
Our local F1 hero, Narain Karthikeyan, has been slightly dismissive about A1 GP. We put it down to his current state of insecurity in F1 - of course, when you are in F1, it looks like the best thing that can possibly happen - and if you are not great with your words, you may end up looking like a snob. So we can, perhaps, forgive him. After all, his job is to race, not to make politically correct statements to the media.
The Indian drivers for A1 GP will Armaan Ibrahim and Karun Chandok.

The MKZ is supposed to be the car the reboots the floundering Lincoln brand. It is designed to target luxury buyers who may not be interested in the normal establishment. The biggest competition to the MKZ is likely Ford's own Fusion vehicle. They share a similar architecture, as well as similar engines, drivetrains, and

Election Watch: Hashimoto Blasts Noda Cabinet on Nuke Restarts
The hottest politician in Japan these days — and one of the biggest threats to Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda — is Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto. As Mr. Noda appears to be moving closer to trying to restart idled nuclear reactors, Mr. Hashimoto is becoming more vocal in opposition. That could complicate Mr. Noda's nuclear policy, and possibly frame the next general election.

- Japan's Coal Imports Rise, Raising Carbon Emissions
- Fukushima Watch: Remote-Controlled Boat Gives Glimpse of Damaged Reactor Building
- Fukushima Watch: Japan Nuclear Facility Cited for Security Failures
- Fukushima Watch: Who Wrote the New Anti-Nuke Novel?
With most top politicians in Nagatacho dancing around the delicate question of whether to endorse restarting nuclear energy, Mr. Hashimoto openly opposes the idea — and has increasingly tied it to a broader criticism of the Noda administration.
"The government is ignoring due process for reactor restarts," he told reporters Thursday. "This government cannot last long."
He also called for more detailed debate on safety guidelines. "If all the government does is rubber-stamp the guidelines hastily crafted by NISA, they must be incapable of running the country at all," he added, referring to the Nuclear Industrial Safety Agency, the main nuclear regulator.
That's just Mr. Hashimoto's latest effort to link himself with the country's increasingly large antinuclear constituency, while he ramps up formation of a new political party, schooling candidates who can contest the next parliamentary elections. In a late March poll conducted by the Nikkei daily, 55% of those surveyed said they opposed restarting nuclear power plants — even after the government's new stress tests — compared with just 32% supporting restarts.
Many antinuclear activists, in turn, see Mr. Hashimoto as a potentially convenient ally, a rallying point for various antinuclear movements, as neither of the two main parties—Mr. Noda's ruling Democratic Party of Japan nor the Liberal Democratic Party—are strongly committed to abolishing nuclear power. Activists are aware that they have to go beyond rallies to winning elections to bring about change.
Under Mr. Hashimoto, Osaka City and Osaka prefecture jointly set up an energy strategy council in February with the goal of crafting a new economic growth model based on alternative energy. The council is examining power demand/supply projections in western Japan for this summer, whether reactors need to be restarted, and the potential for renewable energy to fill the gap.
On April 1, the council decided that the city should file a motion at a June shareholders meeting of Kansai Electric Power Co. calling on the company to exit from nuclear power. Kansai Electric runs the two reactors in Oi, Fukui Prefecture that are the first test cases for whether reactors should be allow to resume operation.
The city of Osaka is the largest shareholder in Kansai Electric, with a stake of 9%. It is calling for other cities — Kobe with 3%, Kyoto with 0.5% — to join in the motion.
Mr. Hashimoto appears to be doing all that while mindful of the possibility of imminent elections. No vote actually needs to be held until next year. But politicians have been preparing for the prospect that Mr. Noda may choose to call an election — or be forced to do so — as soon as this summer, if parliament fails to pass his sales tax hike. While most lawmakers expect such a contest to be fought over the tax issue, Mr. Hashimoto may try to turn it into a referendum on nuclear energy instead.

Location: Crop Diseases, Pests and Genetics
2010 Annual Report
This funding and research contributes to development and evaluation of grape seedling populations and advanced selections with the goal of improving table and raisin grape germplasm with resistance to PD. The project is also developing new molecular markers based on a family from a complex background of PD resistance.
PD-resistant table and raisin grape varieties are needed to overcome increased incidence of PD as a result of the introduction of glassy-winged sharpshooter. Fruit quality of resistant varieties needs to be equivalent to varieties currently grown to be commercially acceptable. Progress in making additional backcross generations to combine high quality table and raisin grapes with PD resistance is continuing. An example of increased fruit quality is this year's selection of five raisin grapes made from BC3 V. arizonica x V. vinifera families which were propagated into production trials. An additional fifteen BC2 V. arizonica x V. vinifera raisin selections were propagated into production trials. Thirty-nine seedless x seedless crosses to develop additional BC3 and BC4 V. arizonica x V. vinifera families were made. The crosses required 69,884 emasculations. Powdery mildew resistance was combined with PD resistance in 18 additional crosses of 40,122 emasculations. Molecular markers were used to detect Pierce's Disease resistant individuals at the young seedling stage in test tubes for one BC2, nine BC3 and 19 BC4 families from crosses made in 2009. A total of 392 of 910 seedlings were rated resistant and planted in the field. Greenhouse screening for Pierce's Disease resistance was continued to verify that plants with PD resistance markers are indeed resistant.

I did not feel silly walking around downtown San Jose on Wednesday in a pair of Nordstrom pumps. After all, I was in good company as one of several hundred men taking part in the YWCA of Silicon Valley's Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event.
This was the seventh year I've walked to support the YWCA's Rape Crisis Center, so my apologies if you've read this before. But it's a message worth repeating: Nearly all sexual violence is perpetrated by men, and they're the ones who could stop it before it happens.
The marchers included elected officials, members of the media and public safety officers. There were high-profile guys: San Jose Fire Chief Willie MacDonald was wearing strappy, black platform heels. Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen was outfitted in tasteful red pumps that nonetheless crushed his toes. There also were corporate teams from companies like Kaiser Permanente and Marvell.
But I was most encouraged by the large number of young guys in the procession, which started and finished at Plaza de Cesar Chavez. San Jose State athletes, fraternity members and men and women who belong to its criminal justice society were among the walkers.
It's those guys -- not 40-year-old fathers of two -- who are more likely to face a situation where they can stop a sexual assault.
