Anthem for Doomed Youth
by Wilfred Owen
Anthem for Doomed Youth Warfare Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? (1)
Cattle? Shmoop can think of a few more flattering things to call fallen soldiers. You might be expecting something like "die as heroes." But in an Owen poem, there are no heroes, just senseless death. Yep, he was a real uplifting guy.
Quote #2
Only the monstrous anger of the guns. (2)
That one word "monstrous" does a lot, don't you think? It ensures that we understand that the awfulness of war isn't something natural or manageable. It's crazy and unbelievable and just plain horrible. The guns are a sort of monster, brought to life at the expense of the soldiers who must use them and die by them.
Quote #3
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons. (3-4)
Only the sound of rifles can speak the soldiers' prayers. Which seems to be a way of saying that the soldiers have no voice, no way to express themselves but through shooting. As bleak as that sounds, that's their duty, after all, as soldiers. No wonder they're compared to cattle in the first line. These soldiers don't seem to be able to think for or express themselves.

Federal Taxes
"Nothing is certain but death and taxes." And that truth has been aggravating us for a long time; versions of that sardonic quote seem to have been coined by both Daniel Defoe and Benjamin Franklin back in the 1700s. And in the centuries since, we've probably made more progress toward defeating death, really; taxes are as certain as ever.
Why do we have taxes at all? Well, we need to pay the people who govern us. The tax power is probably the most fundamental power of government... and government certainly does use it. Somebody has to pay for everything the government does. And somebody is us.
Taxes come in a bunch of flavors. Most of them aren't really too tasty, to be honest, but there certainly is a wide selection.
You pay taxes to our city, county, state, and federal governments. You look like a fool when you curse the president for your high property taxes, and you lose all of your tax-whining credibility if you write to your congressperson about the sales tax. Property taxes are generally imposed by local governments—county and city, and in many places state, too. There is no federal property tax, though. Sales taxes are generally imposed by state governments. So before you join a tax-protest movement, make sure you know that you're protesting the right government for the right tax.
The good folks out in Washington, DC are responsible for overseeing federal taxes. The US government collects personal and corporate income taxes, as well as excise, estate, and trade taxes. It also collects payroll taxes to fund certain specified programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Individual income taxes make up the lion's share of federal government revenue—about 47%. Corporate taxes produce about 12% of the government's income. Customs Duties and Excise taxes generate about 3% apiece. And estate taxes yield 1% percent. Payroll tax represents 35% of all federal government revenue (source).
Why It Matters Today
Just look at your paycheck, my friend!
After you put in your hours on the job, you'll be excited to get paid, to enjoy the fruits of your labor. But if you take a gander at your paycheck, you'll notice that a whole bunch of other folks with funny acronyms have eaten up slices of your fruit.
Who's FICA? What's OASDI? And why are they taking a cut of your cash, above and beyond the income taxes already taken out by the federal and (probably) state governments? It all adds up; your take-home pay is going to be way lower than you think it probably should be... there's no avoiding that. But if you know what you're paying for, you'll be able to think long and hard about whether the government programs you're funding are worth it. And if you think they're not... vote accordingly.
Sometimes, a Song Says it Better: Sunny Afternoon, by The Kinks
The tax man "takes all his dough."

Holzwurm (Woodworm) works on the idea of hungry little worms munching their way around, sometimes trying their tiny teeth on objects that are less than palatable. This is a trick-taking game, where you try to gather cards of a like suit and sequence in order to gain points. However, there are positive and negative points which much be kept track of and tallied for the score. A set number of cards are dealt, and this is as many as the player will have the entire game--no trading, discarding or dealing, every card must be used!
There are several colors of suits, with cards ranging in value from 10 to -13. Six cards are dealt face-up onto the table, and a certain number of cards are then dealt to the players according to haw many players there are. Players take turns laying down one card each, building the cards that are face up into tricks. Positive-value cards are stacked to the right, negative to the left. The value of the card laid down must always be one more than the number of cards (not the value) in a stack. The object is to build a trick that is of positive value, and take it before someone else does, while avoiding having to take a trick that is worth a negative number. There are wild cards which can be laid on any color, but never two wild cards in a row. When you want to claim a trick, just put down a card whose value is equal to or less than the number of piles in the stack! The player with the most points when all cards have been played wins!
The gameplay can be fairly quick if you are fast with numbers, but is never actually slow unless someone is overthinking: I'm terrible with numbers, but I kept up with the rest of my group-it was the girl who is an overanalyzer who got the egg-timer treatment! The pictures on the cards are very entertaining, and the game is short and sweet, perfect for waiting for dinner at a restaurant or before bedtime with the kids.
My only real complaint is that never drawing new cards and having to use all of the cards dealt can be a bad combo; sometimes it is impossible to do. A good variant is replenishing your hand and playing through the whole deck--it makes the game go past 20 minutes, but can be a more satisfying experience. 3 stars doesn't mean it's bad, it's just not perfect. Not every game needs to be. I don't regret buying it at all, and think all in all it's a good lightweight snack in between main courses of Tikal or El Grande. Did I mention the illustrations are really cute?
After two abortive attempts to getting started with this, I've now got it. Part of the reason for the confusion is that there are concepts introduced into this card game that are non-standard. Tricks are not taken from a single round of cards and multiple tricks are in play at once. Each player receives a wad of cards, made up of 5 suits. The object is to convert your hand into as many net positive points as possible. Even numbered cards are positive while odd numbered cards are negative.
Players choose whether to launch new trick or add to an existing one. Each colour can only be started once, except grey which can only be added to existing tricks. A trick is concluded when the number on the card played is not higher than the total number of cards already part of the trick.
For example, a trick of yellow cards has already got -11, -5, +4. The total cards played so far is three, so playing a +2, -1 or -3 will conclude the trick. At this stage, the player takes these into their hand, as well as one of the six cards that act as a bonus (or penalty) to your score. Playing a card with a 4 or higher will allow the trick to continue. The game ends when the sixth card (always a -13) is taken or a player runs out of cards. Each player's score is the net total of the negative and positive points in their hand, except if you had no cards when the score is 30.
Having got the game basics out of the way, I'm not sure how I feel about this game. You're trying to take tricks that score positive points, but as tricks get larger a higher number is required to avoid winning a trick. And generally you do need to avoid taking tricks although the ability to start a new trick in a colour that has just been taken means you can dump the large minus cards you have just acquired. As the bonus cards are used up, the game gets closer to finishing, so capturing a trick becomes more dangerous because you have less chance to dump a high minus card. The limit on only having one trick started for each colour also means that you need to plan when to get a trick and when to avoid taking a trick.
Finally, the score of 30 seems to be a pretty good score and is awarded to the person who gets rid of all of their cards, so I think this can act as a guide as to whether you have got a good hand. With continued play, I expect that players would tend to play quite carefully, but the game is not so good (or serious) as to be worthy of serious study. In our group, the frequency of new game arrivals means that this game will be consigned to only an occasional outing. Nice try, but not good enough to be inspirational.

LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) -- President Barack Obama says he's confident that "tensions" between the United States and Russia can be worked out.
Following a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Obama says the two leaders agreed on the need to build on areas where they have had success "even though there are areas of disagreement."
Obama has been seeking Russia's help in resolving the urgent crisis in Syria. Obama says the U.S. and Russia agree that a political process needs to be created in Syria in order to "prevent civil war."
Putin says he and Obama found "many commonalities" on Syria.

Eva Mendes set to launch her own fashion line

Actress Eva Mendes is launching her own sub-brand through New York & Company Inc, whom she has also signed up to be an ambassador for.

Considerable bitterness was displayed at the meeting of the city council Tuesday night between members of the Siskiyou Heights and Capital Hill districts, in a discussion of equitable water rates. The council produced Bill Ulrich to champion its cause, Mr. Ulrich adroitly arguing "why should outsiders enjoy something I am paying for, and cannot enjoy myself?" Fifty residents of the hill districts were in attendance, led by Attorney George W. Cherry.
The surprise of the exciting session came when Colonel Sargent warned the suburbanites that their policy of writing letters to the newspapers expressing their views in opposition to the council would react to their harm. He also read a twenty-minute article bewailing the fact that he had been called a "bell wether" by the Mail Tribune, and alleging "slander," "libel," "infamy" and "misrepresentation," and defending his stand regarding the use of city streets.
The net result of two hours' debate and hot words was that the council referred the matter to a committee of the whole to report at the next meeting of the council. Petitions praying that the city adjust the rates, as a means of furthering the development of the surrounding territory were filed with the council.
Aside from the two hours spent on the water question little business was transacted by the council. F.H. Cowles, the fire authority, exacted a promise from the council that they would pass a new fire ordinance by the opening of the next term of school.
An ordinance regulating the storage of hay in over five-ton lots will be passed at the next meeting of the council, according to the present plans.
The Holland hotel was granted a liquor license, Sargent voting no on this proposition, upon the grounds that it is not customary to issue licenses for saloons in hotels when the hotel is closed. It was explained that the saloon owner had paid his rent a long time in advance and did not know the hotel was going to close down. O.M. Selsby was granted a saloon license for six months.

2011 Weather Will be a Game Changer for All of Us
Depending upon which region of the country you live in, you have most likely experienced extremes in weather conditions as we head into the fall of 2011. No doubt, people in the South, primarily through Texas, Oklahoma, Southern Kansas, Southern Colorado and Missouri, are suffering through some of the worst drought conditions in their lifetimes.
Regions farther north started the spring with high snowpack and wet conditions that led to flooding in the northern and eastern regions, which in turn led to slow pasture growth and grass development.
As we all recognize, this will have a major impact on cattle operations throughout the plains states in terms of cattle health, performance, feed costs, and the availability of feed through a big section of the country.
All this comes at a time when the nation's cowherd continues to decline, causing a shrinking feeder cattle supply. Extreme drought through the southern third of the country has increased beef cow slaughter by 18 percent over a year ago. Heading into the latter part of the year, one can assume 2011 will be counted as another year of liquidation for the beef industry. The supply side of the market will remain friendly over the next several years given the fact the total U.S. cattle inventory is at level that hasn't been seen since the 1950s.
What are the implications for Limousin breeders given the record high prices for cattle and the continual liquidation of the cowherd? No doubt, production costs are already high given the high cost of fuel, feed and utilities. Operating costs will not get any cheaper given equipment cost and repairs and added labor expenses. Yet, given all of these factors, one must weigh the cost of replacement females when involved in a seedstock operation and the value they have in terms of the established genetics the Limousin breed has improved upon the last several years.
For individuals suffering through extreme drought conditions and experiencing high roughage and forage costs, the decision to maintain their herd will be tough. Some producers in the South that are already devastated by drought conditions flat-out do not have any roughage available unless they can afford to freight hay and other roughage sources in to maintain their herd. Hopefully these folks will get a much needed change in weather conditions to get some relief, but most likely it will be too late for this crop season.
As always in the cattle business, one area's misfortune represents an opportunity for another segment's gain. For those operations that can find a way to maintain their herd through extreme weather conditions, demand for bulls and replacement females will most likely increase, driving prices higher due to the tight supply of cattle over the next 12 months. Hopefully, Limousin breeders through the southern part of the U.S. can find a way to maintain their herds and the established genetics that they have built upon.
Despite declining cattle numbers, beef production levels have held up due to large cow and heifer slaughter levels over the last few years, along with increasing slaughter weights. Once weather moderates and conditions return to normal, higher prices will be the economic signal for the cow-calf producer to stop liquidating and start expanding. When this occurs, commercial cow-calf operations will need a quality supply of sires and replacement cattle from seedstock operators.
Limousin cattle have tremendous advantages with new marketing opportunities available to the industry that we have discussed in previous articles, (natural programs, NHTC, etc.). We need to encourage breeders in the Limousin business to hang on and maintain their cow base if at all possible through these tough conditions. There is a bright future for our cattle and the people involved in the business. The cattle market will most likely remain strong over the next several years, yet it will be required to do so for most cattle operations given the rising cost of production whether it is continued high feed costs or fixed costs of production.
Southern states like Texas and Oklahoma represent a large share of the nation's cow herd. In fact, Texas is home to nearly 16 percent of the total cow herd in the U.S.! Hopefully, current weather conditions won't persist for our good neighbors to the south. Given the present situation, you can bet beef cow inventories won't have an opportunity to expand for another year or two.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, yet it sure hurts to look for it given the conditions people are currently battling in the south. In the meantime the rest of us will continue to pray for rain and relief to our friends being affected by conditions out of their control.

Not too long ago I had a discussion with some guys about watches. The topic was whether cell phones would ever replace the watch and on this issue there tended to be two camps. The first one believes that using a cell phone for telling time and foregoing a watch altogether makes perfect sense and is just a natural evolution in timekeeping. Watches are, to them, old fashioned things that multifunction cell phones and PDAs far outperform.
The other camp believes the first side is just plain clueless. A watch, particularly a well-crafted, mechanical watch, possesses an intangible and emotional power that a cell phone, with all its bells and whistles, can never match. To these people, a watch is far more than a timekeeper; it is a combination of art, science, and horological functionality which together create something more significant than a mere tool.
I firmly fall into the latter group. The things you carry and use every day should have not only purpose, but meaning as well. Watches are one of the few ways in which men can display style in same the way that women utilize jewelry. Apart from cufflinks, we really don't have many options to throw a little flair into our daily routine. As men have increased their focus on style, elegance, quality, and a need to differentiate themselves from others, watches have evolved as well. From the pedestrian Timex to extravagant Breuget, quartz to chronometer, watches have become the men's accessory linchpin. Your watch says a great deal about what you value.
Though there are many types of watches, one particular category has shown marked growth. In one of those interesting juxtapositions, mechanical and automatic watches – which demand almost daily manual involvement – have increased in popularity just as automated technology has taken over much of our lives. With hundreds of moving parts and complex "complications," you might think these anachronistic items would have fallen by the wayside, victims of progress. Not so; in fact the exact opposite has occurred. Whether as objects of status or a collector's fascination, watches are a man's best friend.
As with many aficionados, I prefer mechanical and automatic watches. They possess a sense of permanence and endurance not found in mass-produced commodity timepieces. They have individual character and personality and are truly heirlooms. Just as one would cherish a hand-written letter over the anonymousness of an e-mail printout; I find a priceless value in my grandfather's temperamental wrist watch. It is a tangible reminder of previous generations.
Newer watches are definitely trending larger in size. High end and mid-range watches are also adding complications (complex mechanical functions) like calendars that can account for leap years, exotic timing, and multiple chronographic features. More complications mean a higher price. Last year, Vacheron Constantine succeeded in creating a $1 million watch that contained the most complications ever. That doesn't mean you don't have real world options. Name brands and precious metals add to the cost and finding a smaller manufacturer who uses quality components and materials without the glitz can help in the area of price.
With so many options and price points, there are many watches from which to choose. Even some brands of mechanical watches are more affordable tan you might think. Of course, if you really want to impress people, it's not hard to spend the equivalent of a new Range Rover on a Franck Mueller, A. Longe Sohn, or Patek Philipe.
Personally, I suggest you take some time and look around; find watches that you like, that you are drawn to. Look for sporty technical models for casual wear and more elegant watches that work with a suit or fit better in an office environment. Learn about the brands to which you are attracted, their history, what makes them special. Be honest with yourself about what you can actually afford, but whatever you choose look at your choice as an investment.

The right mission oak lighting can add drama and elegance to your rooms. Different mission oak lamps lighting effects contribute to create that atmosphere. General or ambient mica or stained glass lighting begins to set the mood; whether turned up bright or dimmed down low. The even glow from mica shaded lamps or a mission chandelier sets the tone. The mission oak light through a pleated shade is exactly this type of warm rich light. Ambient mission oak lighting often works along with task lighting; a arts and crafts lamp pulled up next to a reading chair or next to a bed provides the direct beam of light that is task light. This is the light that lets you read or work in a dimly lit room. But it is also the contrast between general mission oak light and the sharper pools of task light that lend mystery and drama to an interior. The most romantic light is accent lighting in our world that means mica lamp shades. The gleam of candles through mica hurricanes, the glow of votives in stained glass scattered through the room across the dining table or along the mantel. Tappers aloft above a dining table, bathe the china & crystal in a soft glow, nothing is more atmospheric than mission oak light. Often all three types of light are used together a dark entrance hall glows with candles and barley a glimmer from a mission chandelier the hall gives way to the brighter sparkle from silk shades and crystal from the room beyond.

Columbus -- The Republican leaders of the Ohio House and Senate voiced support for Gov. John Kasich's plan to leverage funding for road and bridge projects from the Ohio Turnpike.
"I think it's very innovative," said outgoing Senate President Tom Niehaus, from New Richmond.
"It allows the people in northern Ohio that depend on that turnpike for their economic vitality and their livelihood to continue to benefit from it," Niehaus said.
Statehouse Democrats, meanwhile, voiced their objection to the proposal, calling it a hostile takeover and a shell game.
"This is a partisan plan to raid assets of the turnpike for political gain," said Rep. John Carney, a Democrat from Columbus.
" It's clear that this is a political ploy designed to create a re-election year slush fund so that he may go around the state and hand out things to folks who are in need," Carney continued.
Kasich unveiled the plan during stops in Toledo, Cleveland and Youngstown, capping months of speculation and a multi-million-dollar study on the pros and cons of different options.
The 241-mile route is Ohio's lone toll road, accommodating more than 50 million vehicles annually.
Kasich's plan would maintain state ownership of the turnpike, meaning no lease or sale to a private entity. The state would borrow about $1.5 billion, via bonding against tolls, and hope to leverage another $1.5 billion in local and federal funding for use in construction projects.
More than 90 percent of new bond money would go to roadwork in the northern third of the state.
"This plan just makes sense as we continue Ohio's economic resurgence, grow jobs and make our state prosperous once again," Kasich said in a statement.
Statehouse Democrats were blunt in their initial analysis.
Rep. Kathleen Clyde, a Democrat from Kent whose district includes two turnpike exits, said the plan could "threaten not only the turnpike's quality but also result in layoffs, increased drive times and less reliability."
She added, "also jobs along the turnpike from service plazas to local communities could be threatened if we change the road from the current formula that works so well for northern Ohio."

By SSgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr., 25th CAB Public AffairsDecember 2, 2010
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii (Dec. 2, 2010) -- There are a few topics which have generated great concern for the Army's leadership: suicide, taumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder.
Gen. Peter W. Chiarelli, vice chief of staff of the Army, visited the Tropic Lightning Division and hosted a working lunch, at Schofield Barracks, Nov. 16, with Soldiers from across the division, including 14 Soldiers from the 25th Combat Aviation Brigade, to discuss some of the issues he deals with on a regular basis: TBI, PTSD and suicide.
"I'm interested in all kinds of behavioral health issues. What I'm trying to do is get rid of the stigma associated with [these afflictions]," said Chiarelli. "As the vice chief of staff, I usually see the back end of these problems [in the form of] suicides."
The vice chief spoke about alarming trends occurring across the Army, most notably, the issue of suicide.
"[Suicide] is the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States; 32,000 people commit suicide a year. Another 150,000 [people] attempt to commit suicide. We had 160 suicides in the United States Army last year out of 32,000 in the country."
Soldiers such as Staff Sgt. Melissa Roberts, Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, 2nd Squadron, 6th Cavalry Regiment, 25th CAB, inquired about the use of civilian studies to help prevent suicide in the Army.
"We are doing a $50-million study right now with this organization called the National Institution of Health. Suicide is really weird because there has never been a big study done, so this is the very first one to ever look at it. Suicide suffers from the same stigmas as all the [behavioral health issues] do. People don't like it because it's a mental health issue, so they don't want to talk about it. So our study will be the very first one to ever look at this."
Other Soldiers such as Staff Sgt. Moises Cobian, B Company, 209th Aviation Support Battalion, 25th CAB, talked about useful programs such as the Married Army Couples Program.
"I'm dual military, so during all three of my deployments I've been with my spouse. That has helped a lot and I feel like I haven't really been deployed yet [in a family sense]. So I have to say that [the Married Army Couples Program] is a good program."
Chiarelli discussed at length his goal of eliminating the stigma associated with seeking help for behavioral health issues.
"My goal is to get rid of the stigma so that if people feel like they're having a problem they go and seek help. I'm not just worried about folks that commit suicide. I'm concerned about a whole bunch of folks in the Army that are hurt and haven't got the help they need. They're struggling with [PTSD], which is a no-kidding, real-life injury. It's not someone with a head case. It's when the frontal cortex of your brain is not working right and it doesn't regulate your Limbic System and you have chemical damage that occurs in the body."
Following lunch with the vice chief, CAB Soldiers reflected on his willingness to discuss tough issues and get feedback from Soldiers.
"I really liked that he touched on behavioral health. It is a really important topic. Soldiers are thinking about and actually committing suicide, and that's something we've really got to continue to take a close look at. It's good that he took his time to give us an opportunity to give some feedback so that we can improve our programs."
Roberts added: "I appreciate [his visit] as an NCO, but for the junior Soldiers, I think they appreciate it even more. I think they realize that even though they are young enlisted Soldiers, they still have the decision-making capabilities to shape the future of the Army."
She was also impressed with his response to her question on suicide.
"I wasn't anticipating such a robust answer. The statistics that he provided helped me understand that he is really concerned about the suicide issue."
As Chiarelli concluded his discussion with the group of Soldiers, he implored the young leaders to encourage an environment of understanding when dealing with behavioral health issues.
"If you're in a leadership environment where people don't believe it now or don't look upon it the same as any other kind of injury, I hope that you all [develop] into leaders that will create the kind of environment in your units where people can get the help that they need. And you allow them to get the help."
Soldiers seeking treatment for TBI or PTSD can receive help through Military OneSource, www.militaryonesource.com, or considering suicide can start by contacting their unit leadership or chaplain.

Proper is actually a word you can use all by itself, you can just expostulate "Proper!" and it means something similar to "Wicked!" or "Excellent!" or "Cool!". It is an exclamative word. If something totally cool or awesome happens you just say "Proper!" and it means the same as "Awesome!" or "Cool!", but it is much newer and fresher and better and longer-lasting than those words. Its literal definition is "Perfect". Say this if you want to not only be with it, but way, way ahead of it. Proper.

Union OKs RJF contract
Week-long strike at Oak Grove plant ends
December 31, 2012
Some employees at RJF International Corporation's plant in Oak Grove headed back to work Sunday evening, ending a strike that began Dec....
Ohioans for Workplace Freedom, investigate whose money is behind this movement, it is about labor wage suppression, but heck lets make Ohio a right to work state, and then like most southern right to work states, when the Buckeye state sends a dollar to Washington, it will get more than a dollar back. wonder how that affects debts and deficits, HMMMM?

Realization: less Union representation, less taxpayers in the middle class, less parents sending their union fed and raised children into the world with a spirit of independence, less of them going to college and hoping for a better future. Less working poor depending upon government assisstance for thier basic food staples and healthcare. Less senoirs depending mainly on Social Security, which they paid for by the way, and more on their pensions, and savings bny making enough income to save a few bucks. So you see anti-union, less dependent upon big government folks. The top.01 to 1%, are relying on you to keep supporting their lifestyle, with your tax dollars subsidizing, the poor, and those not making enough to keep them above poverty levels. All the while the concentration of wealth keeps only coming to them. They have 1 word for you and those like you....SUCKERS!!!!

And also the great benefits that have talked about! They were not that great! But what we had is what we were fighting for! And all you workers "lacing up your boots and filling your lunch boxes to go to work for a company like RJF " plan on doing it for 1/2 the hourly rate! Higher insurance premiums! No job security! And no seniority ! I bet the line at the microtel for interviews will not be as long as you expect!

Obamaland 2013-Many businesses plan to bring on more part-time workers next year, trim the hours of full-time employees or curtail hiring because of the new health care law, human resource firms say. The so-called employer mandate to offer health coverage doesn't take effect until Jan. 1, 2014. But to determine whether employees work enough hours on average to receive benefits, employers must track their schedules for three to 12 months prior to 2014 — meaning many are restructuring payrolls now or will do so early next year. "It will have a negative impact on job creation" in 2013, says Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics.
Obama then said on the Sunday talk shows that one his main objectives in his next 4 years is imigration reform.

|The Number of Sides of a Parallelogram
|Lie algebras, free group, Magnus group, lower central series, Lyndon basis
|We define parallelograms of base a and b in a group. They appear as minimal relators in a presentation of a subgroup with generators a and b. In a Lie group they are realized as closed polygonal lines, with sides being orbits of left-invariant vector fields. We estimate the number of sides of parallelograms in a free nilpotent group and point out a relation to the rank of rational series.

If your child needs a heart transplant, you're probably feeling lots of emotions all at once. Fortunately, heart transplants in children offer many kids the chance to live a healthy life once they recover from surgery. Our Nemours pediatric cardiology experts are here to help if your family's facing a pediatric heart transplant — providing comprehensive, compassionate care every step of the way.
Most children with heart disease can be successfully treated with medicine, surgery, and/or non-surgical procedures. But for some children with end-stage heart disease, pediatric heart transplantation may be the answer. A heart transplant is an operation that replaces a diseased heart with a healthy heart from another person.
Heart transplants in children are only recommended for those who would not be able to live without having their heart replaced. Illnesses that can affect the heart in this way include complex congenital (from birth) heart defects and cardiomyopathy (when the heart muscle is inflamed and doesn't work as well as it should).
Heart transplants can offer children the chance to live healthy lives once they recover from surgery. At Nemours, if your child needs a heart transplant, we focus on your child's quality of life before, during, and after a pediatric heart transplant. Of course, we want your child to come through a transplant with flying colors. But at Nemours, we aren't just concerned about helping your child live — we're concerned about quality of life, how your child feels and functions over the long-term. Our goal — our hope — is that your child will enjoy continued improvement and progress that opens the doors for a long lifetime of possibilities.

If your child needs a heart transplant, you can find one of the country's finest pediatric heart transplant centers right in your own backyard — at the Nemours Cardiac Center, located within the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Del, (ranked among the nation's best in pediatric cardiology and pediatric heart surgery by U.S. News & World Report).
At the Nemours Cardiac Center, our pediatric heart transplant surgeons perform heart transplants in infants, children, and adolescents in our very own pediatric cardiology operating room, used exclusively for pediatric heart surgery. Our pediatric heart transplant program performed the first heart transplant in the state of Delaware. Now, families come from throughout our region, across the country, and around the world for our renowned pediatric cardiology care.
We take our role as the guardians of your child's heart very seriously. So we've filled our pediatric heart transplant team with the very best the profession has to offer. The Nemours Cardiac Center is staffed with a highly skilled team of professionals that includes:
- pediatric cardiologists (children's heart doctors)
- pediatric cardiothoracic surgeons (who specialize in operating on children's hearts and chests)
- pediatric cardiac nurses
- pediatric anesthesiologists (who work exclusively in our Cardiac Center)
And our pediatric heart transplant team consists of lots of parts that make a highly-skilled whole. To make each transplant successful, our family of experts will help both you and your child at every stage of your pediatric heart transplant journey. Offering comprehensive transplant care before, during, and after the surgery, our specialists from cardiology and cardiac surgery lead a team of:
- advanced practice nurses: registered nurses (RNs) who've received advanced training beyond nursing school (a college degree and a master's degree in nursing at a minimum)
- physician assistants (PAs): who, under the supervision of a trained doctor, examine patients, diagnose and treat simple illnesses, order tests and interpret results, provide preventative health care counseling, assist in surgery, and write prescriptions
- social workers: who's involved with your family from the pre-transplant evaluation through transplantation and post-transplant care, providing emotional support and helping you prepare for each step of the process
- physical therapists and occupational therapists: who encourage specific activities as well as movement to make sure your child is physically strong before leaving the hospital
- child life specialists: child development professionals specially trained to work with kids who are sick and receiving treatment in a hospital setting
- clergy: who can offer spiritual and emotional support
- teachers, teachers' aides, and volunteers: who can help to educate children at their bedside and in our on-site school
- dietitians/nutritionists: who offer advice and meal plans for kids with specific nutritional needs
- pharmacists: who make sure the medications we dispense for your child are safe, effective, and delivered in a timely manner, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day
Children who need a heart transplant may need the care of other specialists, too. Whomever your child needs to see at any point during your family's transplant journey, at the Nemours Cardiac Center we work together to pool our knowledge, skills, expertise, and experience. We function as a group – communicating and collaborating at every step to make the most informed decisions for your child and give children with even the most complicated conditions absolutely optimal care.
And we'll do our best to make the pediatric heart transplantation process as easy as we can for you. If you need to see multiple specialists, we'll try to schedule them for you on a single day, at one location. We'll also see to details such as medically assisted transport, insurance, and financial arrangements. And we'll keep your primary care physician or pediatrician fully up-to-date.
And every member of your child's Nemours care team (your child's primary care pediatrician, advance practice nurse, and specialists) will have access to your child's medical information, with just the click of a button. Our award-winning electronic medical record makes it easy for everyone to always stay on the same page about your child's care – at the same time.
When your child becomes a patient at Nemours, you'll also have the option of registering for MyNemours, a free, confidential health care management tool that gives you safe, secure electronic access to portions of your child's medical records. You'll be able to see:
- lab test and imaging results
- immunization records
- upcoming appointments
- articles from Nemours' KidsHealth specific to your child's conditions, tests, and treatments
All patient information in MyNemours is protected by various state and federal privacy laws and regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
The Nemours Cardiac Center has an active Mechanical Circulatory Support Program that provides Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (or ECMO) — a system that temporarily acts as a patient's heart and lungs. We also offer Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) — mechanical pumps that take over the work of the damaged chamber (ventricle) of the heart. This includes the Berlin Heart (a pump device that comes in various sizes to accommodate children).
These assistive devices are used for patients who require "artificial" heart support while waiting for a heart transplant or for their own heart problems to improve.
Our Cardiac Center has its very own pediatric anesthesiologists with the experience and skills required to provide specialized anesthesia for children undergoing heart transplantation. Our anesthesiologists provide anesthesia or deep sedation for heart surgery, cardiac catheterization, and other tests that may be painful or uncomfortable for your child.
Some of the medication we administer is intended to be given before a procedure to produce a relaxed feeling so your child won't feel so scared or worried. Soon after reaching the location where the procedures are performed, your child will then get further sedation or general anesthesia, which makes for an anxiety- and pain-free experience during the procedure. In the operating room, we give modern anesthetic medications that provide a safe and smooth transition to control pain after the procedure. When it's appropriate, we use epidural medications (given as an injection in the lower back) to ease pain after chest surgery.
After surgery, your child will spend time in our cardiac intensive care unit (CICU), where we'll closely and continuously watch your child and give medication for pain and sedation. Our doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and other health professionals are equipped with sophisticated technology to monitor your child and adjust treatment on a moment-to-moment basis. And our CICU rooms have full beds so that you can be there, day and night, when your child needs you the most.
After a pediatric heart transplant, children still need to take medications (called "immunosuppressants" or "anti-rejection medications) for the rest of their lives to maintain their best possible health and ensure that their bodies don't reject the new organ.
We'll do whatever it takes to help your child recuperate — and get back home — faster. Your child may get various types of therapy each day throughout the transplant process. This therapy begins as soon after the transplant as possible and includes physical, occupational, and child life therapy.
When it's time to take your child home, we'll go over everything you need to know about after-care — including home care, school, financial and insurance issues, transportation, medications, as well as signs and symptoms of infection and organ rejection.
Your child also will continue therapy as an outpatient (once sent home from the hospital). We also follow all of our patients very closely post-transplant, both as inpatients in the hospital and as outpatients (either through same-day visits to the hospital or at one of our other Nemours clinics).
Although our team may know your child's heart, you know your child best. That's why we strive to always offer "family-centered care." That means we want you to be an active participant in the decision making — and we want to make sure you understand exactly what's going on at all times.
It means we'll take the time to explain the diagnosis and treatment in understandable terms, present all of the options, invite your family's input for creating the right treatment plan for your child, encourage you to stay by your child's side as much as possible, and make sure your questions are answered and your fears and concerns are addressed.
Throughout your family's heart transplant journey, know that at Nemours Cardiac Center we do whatever it takes to give your child the very best, most compassionate care possible. We'll be there to help your child and your family every step of the way.

How Stable Is Your 401(k)'s Stable-Value Fund?
Journal reporter Eleanor Laise writes:
Many stable-value funds are showing some strain amid the market upheaval. Here's what investors in these popular 401(k)-plan investments, which are designed to provide capital preservation and smooth returns, should watch for:
-Lower returns.
Stable-value funds, which are available only in tax-deferred savings plans, typically hold a broadly diversified bond portfolio and use bank and insurance-company contracts to help guard against market swings. They lived up to their name amid last year's chaos: The average stable-value fund returned nearly 5% in 2008, according to Hueler Cos., which tracks the industry.
But now, stable-value investors should brace for lower returns, industry experts say.
Many forces are weighing down "crediting rates"–which are essentially the yield investors get in these funds. One factor is more-conservative investments: Many stable-value managers are building up hefty cash positions. That's partly because banks and insurance companies are shying away from offering the "wrap" contracts that help keep stable-value funds stable, and managers are keeping assets not covered by those contracts in conservative investments.
Managers are also hoarding cash because they fear a stock-market rebound could cause investors to quickly yank money from their funds. At the same time, wrap providers wary of bond-market mayhem are pushing some managers to invest more conservatively.
Higher fees for wrap contracts are also pushing down returns. Many managers say they've seen these fees roughly double in the past few months, a cost that's ultimately borne by investors.
-Market-to-Book-Value Ratios.
The relatively steady value at which investors trade in and out of a stable-value fund is the "book" value, which is smoothed out by the bank or insurance-company contracts. But investors also need to be aware of the fund's "market" value, which reflects the actual value of the fund's bond holdings.
Lately, many stable-value funds' market values have dipped well below their book value, which could cause problems if there are mass investor withdrawals or if financial firms grow reluctant to provide wraps for the portfolio. Some funds are aggressively reducing crediting rates to help close the gap between market and book values.
Stable-value funds are supposed to disclose the market-to-book value ratio, a key measure of the funds' health, in financial reports at least annually, according to the Stable Value Investment Association. Retirement-plan participants should call their benefits office to get updates on this data, stable-value experts say.
Investors shouldn't be concerned about a small gap between market and book value, experts say, but funds with larger differentials may deserve further scrutiny. The average stable-value fund had a market value that was 95% of book value at the end of 2008, according to Hueler, down from 99% a year earlier.

Kim Kardashian has been a stylist for years. The girl has experience. So why would she be going to a 16 year old for fashion help?
On this week's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim just couldn't stop talking about Kylie Jenner's exceptional fashion sense. So much so, in fact, that Khloé Kardashian Odom and Kourtney Kardashian started to worry about their sister's judgement!
"She literally Tumblr-stalks Kylie," said Khloé. Sure enough, during a meeting for the DASH line, Kim kept wondering what Kylie would think or wear.
Kylie, for her part, was unimpressed. "Kim acts like my Tumblr is Vogue Magazine," she said. "I'm over it."
But she clearly wasn't "over" Kim's closet: Kim caught Kylie dressed up in one of her old outfits at a movie premiere! If there's one thing we've learned from this many seasons of KUWTK, it's this: Don't take things from Kim's closet without her permission!
Kim confronted Kylie about the thread theft, but Kylie brushed it off...so Kim went through Kylie's closet with her and took back everything Kylie had borrowed! That might solve the problem for now, but if Kylie is anything like Kourtney, this will probably happen again...
Meanwhile, the Kardashian sisters were still using Scott Disick's vocal talents to have him prank-call Kris Jenner pretending to be family friend Todd Kraines. The novelty had worn off on Scott, though, so the girls had to come up with another plan.
And that they did: They invited the real Todd Kraines over so he could show up at the gate and buzz in. Kris, thinking it was the prank caller, freaked out and wouldn't even let a pregnant Kim answer the door!
Was Kris' reaction worth the months of keeping this prank a secret? You bet it was.
Kris had another houseguest this week, but this one she expected. Bruce Jenner's mother, Esther, was living alone in Idaho after losing her husband Frank. So Bruce decided it would be good to have her over for a little visit.
The problem was, Kris and Esther never really got along all that well; but Bruce put his foot down and insisted on the visit, so the plan went through.
It went well, too! Esther and Kris patched things up and had a lovely time. "If I'm that sassy at 87, I'm going to be very happy," said Kris of Esther's attitude. She's right: Esther was delightful!
Catch another all-new episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians next Sunday at 9/8c, only on E!

Paedophile clown's children banA convicted paedophile who worked as a clown in Blackpool has been banned from having any contact with children.Ronald Blackmore - who was also known as Bozo and Ronnie the Clown - was convicted of sexually molesting an 11- year-old girl in 2002.He was sentenced to 18 months in jail, but was asking children into his home within a week of his release.He did not turn up at Blackpool Magistrates on Tuesday but was put on a Sexual Offences Prevention Order.
I think this is horrible and I require that we immediately remove all of our Bozos. I have already done so, since I have no intent of endorsing child molestation. - Oh, Mrs Nigger-Baiter's exploded.- Good thing, too.- She was my best friend.- Oh, mother, don't be so sentimental. Things explode every day.- Yes, I suppose so. Anyway, I didn't really like her that much.
I think i'll bozo you right now!After that i'll just sit back and stay tuned fir child molesting news from Sweden. Happy hunting Emil!"Whatever problems I have, Cobra will always be my cure"
In reply to:Ronald Blackmore - who was also known as Bozo and Ronnie the Clown
Ronald Blackmore - who was also known as Bozo and Ronnie the Clown
Sounds like split personalities to me. Surely he could just say Bozo did it and they'd let Ronnie go free.

WARWICK — Beginning May 1, Leo Kaytes Ford employees start to give back to the Warwick community through 35 Acts of Kindness in celebration of their 35th anniversary. On May 4, the dealership and employees will be hosting the first Electric Road Rally in Warwick.
The monthlong celebration will kick off May 1 with the dealership offering 35-cent oil changes to customers who bring canned good donations for the local food bank. Additional acts of kindness include Leo Kaytes staff members volunteering at a local animal shelter, free car washes when customers bring a donation to the local animal shelter, donations to local sports organization and the staff volunteering for Meals on Wheels.
"Leo Kaytes Ford is excited to celebrate 35 years of business with our local community," said Leo Kaytes, president. "Throughout our 35 years in business we have been committed to giving back to the community of Warwick. We look forward to celebrating throughout the month of May. Our marquee event, the Electric Road Rally, will highlight Ford's commitment to going further and offering consumer a fuel line up of fuel efficient vehicles."
Leo Kaytes will host its first Electric Road Rally May 4 starting at 10 a.m. Eight teams of four take off from Leo Kaytes Ford and make their way through the Town of Warwick in the all-new 2013 Ford Fusion Energi and the 2013 C-MAX Energi. They will stop at green locations along the way and have to answer green questions and collect eco-friendly products. The winner will be determined by the number of clues completed and the amount of battery power left in their vehicle.

High School – Grades 9-12
There is nothing quite like the experience of Waldorf High School. Students begin to view themselves as the adults that they seek to become. The curriculum, presented by teachers who have devoted themselves to and mastered particular subjects and skills, is one that challenges, excites, and engages young men and women.
Preparing for college and adventures beyond Hawthorne Valley, students explore the world around them – no longer as passive observers but as individuals poised to make a difference.
The academic focal point of a Waldorf High School is the Main Lesson, an hour and forty five minute concentrated lesson at the beginning of each school day. Each Main Lesson block presents one of the "core subjects" (English, Mathematics, History, or Natural Sciences) for a period of three to four weeks. In the following section, the High School curriculum is outlined with brief course descriptions written by the teacher of each block. Each grade is introduced by a brief perspective on how the underlying thematic continuity of the curriculum responds to and supports the changing consciousness and increasing independence of the adolescent.
In addition to the Main Lesson, each student attends between 15 and 20, 45-minute academic skills classes per week, covering Foreign Languages, additional English and Mathematics study, and enrichment classes. Course descriptions of these skills classes follow the Main Lesson descriptions. While the Language and Math courses are continuous throughout the year, selected skills classes in the Humanities may last for a term before changing focus.
Each student also takes four, one-hour classes per week in the Fine and Practical Arts. These blocks occur in a six- to eight-week rhythm and are also briefly characterized in the outline that follows.
Each High School student participates in a one week Practicum each year, subsequently listed. All High School students take part in Chorus work, which meets two 45 minute periods per week. There are major dramatic and musical productions that include the whole class in both Tenth and Twelfth Grade.
Extracurricular programs are offered in instrumental music and girls' and boys' basketball, volleyball, and cross-country, and soccer. Other activities include the Social Action Committee, the School Yearbook, a Photography Club, and the Drama Club. Hawthorne Valley School also provides a foreign exchange program, which has placed our students in Waldorf schools in many other countries, including Germany, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, France, Spain, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, Columbia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, and South Africa.
Evaluation System
Students receive comprehensive, narrative reports for each class. The teachers also issue a letter grade that goes on the students' official transcript. Four times a year, High School students and their parents receive a written course description and student narrative evaluation for each course taken. When a student applies to college, the High School guidance department sends each college an official transcript.

I feel so judged because I am thin. I weigh 116 right now and think I look really damn good. Even when I am not pregnant, I look good. I'm thin but I still have a nice shape and nice curves. They may not be huge curves, but they are curves and I take pride in keeping my body in shape. But there are always those women who feel the need to talk badly about thin women saying thigs like real women are the women with curves. Real women are the women with meat on their bones. Calling names like stick figures and whatever else. Like, really? Is that really neccesary? Complaining that clothes now a days are made for anorexic girls and they don't take into consideration that there are heavier women out there. If anything, I think it's the exact opposite. Every womens section I've looked through has sizes all the way through 4X but yet I can't find a single shirt that fits me because even the small doesn't fit the way I want it to and more often than not, XS doesn't come in the womens section. I don't think I am any less of a woman because I don't have an extra 50 pounds on me. I don't think I'm any less of a woman because my boobs aren't DD's or my hips don't stick out as far as you think they should. UGH!
Skinny/Thin Moms
I'm a big girl and I'm proud. I weigh 178 and I look freakin' awesome. I have a cute baby bump and big ole' butt. God blessed me with some amazing Curves and to say I hate them would be like slapping him in the face.
I do believe complaining about how thin you are will make girls my size or bigger annoyed. Everyone woman is beautiful in their own way. Fat or not. Pregnant or not.

What I really loathe is when it comes up how "gross" and "sick" I look when I am thin. If I said that to an overweight person, I would be being cruel. But because I'm overly thin, it's totally okay.

Mommy to a beautiful little miracle born on January 9th, 2012 after battling 21 weeks of pre-term labor
Follow My Journey With PPD here:
You know someone posted the other day about how they express love to their child, and she said that each day she tells her child I love your eyes, ears, toes, arms, hands, and so on and so on. And the reason she said she did that was so her child would have a high self esteem.
If people have an issue with being obese or skinny it falls back to the self esteem. And that's why I say, if aren't happy with who you are then you need to do what you can to change it.
