In its fall grant cycle, The Bakersfield Californian Foundation has awarded $144,954.45 to Kern County nonprofits focused on improving mental health and environmental education, as well as several involved in improving animal welfare and educational opportunities.
These organizations submitted proposals that "had a narrow focus and clear budget so the money could really make a difference," said Tracey Cowenhoven, foundation vice president.
"I'm very excited to hear that!" Independent Living Center of Kern County's resource development manager Christine Lollar said upon hearing Tuesday that the nonprofit had received grant money.
Lollar said one of the missions of the Independent Living Center is to provide cultural activities and awareness for people with disabilities. The grant funding will allow them to create a tactile art exhibit and hold art workshops for clients.
Lollar said people with disabilities sometimes tend to isolate themselves, but the workshops will allow them to express themselves and think about their creativity.
"Experiencing the freedom of choice can be given back through the experience of art," Lollar said.
Kim Albers, executive director of Flood Bakersfield Ministries, said the money the organization received will go toward funding incentive items for street outreach efforts. Basically, the incentive items -- snack bags, blankets, water bottles -- are used to get local homeless people into a conversation about getting long-term help and getting off the streets.
Albers said she was thrilled about receiving the grant.
Linda Hartman, executive director of the BARC Foundation, noted that many groups ask for money and said hers is privileged to have been selected. The money will support BARC programs, which have about 500 clients with various levels of disabilities.
BARC clients learn everything from how to run a cash register to working with tools and putting brochures together, Hartman said.
Here is the list of grant recipients and the amounts they received:
* American Lung Association, $15,000.
* Boys & Girls Clubs of Kern County, $7,500.
* California Living Museum, $16,800.
* Community Action Partnership of Kern, $8,276.
* Desert Area Resources & Training, $3,000.
* Flood Bakersfield Ministries, $5,000.
* Greater Bakersfield Green Expo, $2,500.
* Henrietta Weill Memorial Child Guidance Clinic, $10,676.45.
* Independent Living Center of Kern County, $3,702.
* Keep Bakersfield Beautiful, $4,000.
* Kern Economic Development Foundation, $25,000.
* Laze Memorial Soaring Foundation, $3,500.
* Legacy Behavioral Services, Inc., $10,000.
* Whiskers Paws Hooves and Claws Animal Advocacy, $20,000.

Well, I went to my OB for post-op recheck from my D & C yesterday. My doctor said everything looked good and my exam was within normal limits. He is still optimistic for me in getting pregnant again and having it be a successful pregnancy. His enthuziasum for me is contagious. I told him that DH and I had planned on trying again right away. My doc was very excited for me. I should be ovulating again in about a month. I hope what I've heard about fertility is true - that once you've been pregnant, it's not hard to get pregnant again. I would love to be pregnant again by the summer. DH's brother and sister from California will be visitng with their families in August, and I would love to be able to share part of my pregnancy experience with them.
Although DH and I have been through one hell of an emotional rollercoaster over the last several weeks, I am really excited about trying again and staying optimistic for a full-term pregnancy. Even when I think of it, it makes me smile. I know that I will be welcoming my new baby into the world before I know it, and I can't wait.

Social landlords urged to support deadly poison awareness week
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Health and also in Housing
British Gas repairs more than 100,000 boilers during big freeze
Social landlords are being urged to pledge their support for the forthcoming Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week - an event that tries to draw attention to the dangers of the UK's most common form of poisoning, CO.
Charity Carbon Monoxide Awareness wants as many housing associations as possible to make it their charity of the year for 2014/15.
The charity's founder, Lynne Griffiths, believes that deaths and injuries from the effects of CO poisoning are on the rise.
Lynne said: "I believe the requirements for the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, detailing the duties of landlords to provide an annual landlord's gas safety inspection record, ensure that any appliances belonging to them are serviced and maintained in accordance with the schedule set out in the manufacturer's installation and servicing document.
"I wonder how many landlords ensure any appliances belonging to them are serviced and maintained in accordance with the schedule set out in the manufacturer's installation and servicing document?"
Lynne and her family were unknowingly poisoned by CO over many years. Despite regular gas services, a partially-blocked flu had remained undetected in their home.
CO is the UK's most common form of poisoning. Official figures from the Department of Health show that every year in the UK 4,000 people are diagnosed with low-level poisoning, 200 are admitted to hospital and approximately 50 people are killed.
The poison is produced by the incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon fuel, such as coal, charcoal, wood, oil, petrol, diesel, gas and LPG.
Lynne said: "Most people still appear to believe that you either die from carbon monoxide poison or make a full recovery. This isn't true as most victims of carbon monoxide poisoning usually suffer from long-term health complications.
"My youngest son is due to mark his 18th Birthday this Sunday while still living with the consequences of being poisoned by carbon monoxide."

Spurs, who played 120 minutes in the Europa League on Thursday, were undone by Dimitar Berbatov's second-half goal - his first at White Hart Lane since leaving Spurs.
"It was nothing to do with the players," Villas-Boas said.
"The effort and commitment were there. Probably the organisation wasn't, and it is down to us to get to business and correct that."
Given that Tottenham now sit just four points ahead of Arsenal, who have one match in hand, Villas-Boas accepts comparisons will be drawn between his side's current dip in form and the one that took place under Harry Redknapp last season.
"You can't hide from what has happened in the past with Spurs," Villas-Boas said.
"You just have to make sure that we are able to fight against it. It has been difficult month for us.
"If we are able to find our form or confidence and win then we can end that cycle that Spurs normally have. We just have to work hard."
Villas-Boas confirmed that Aaron Lennon, who missed the game with hamstring and groin injuries, will not join up with England for their World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro.
The Portuguese said it was also unlikely that Michael Dawson, who had to be withdrawn at half-time due to a hamstring complaint, would feature for the Three Lions.

OAKLAND -- A new show at the Chabot Space and Science Center probes for the existence of life beyond Earth.
"We Are Aliens," a full-dome animated planetarium show, shares with viewers where in the universe scientists are searching for life and explores three places scientists are excited about: Mars, Europa and distant space.
At the beginning of "We Are Aliens," narrator Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley in the "Harry Potter" movie series) asks if human beings are alone in the universe.
"Right now, (human beings) are alone," Grint says.
But if scientists search for other forms of life, "what should they look for?" Grint asks. Life is everywhere on our planet. Scientists find life in our lakes, rivers, deep in the oceans and even clinging on in deserts. Where there's water, there seems to be life.
And a majority of life is made up of microbes, Grint tells viewers. Microbes can be found in the most extreme locations on earth. Microbes can be found in areas of extreme cold and in areas of extreme heat. Scientists have found microbes in temperatures hotter than those used to sterilize medical equipment. And microbes have been found as deep as four kilometers below the earth's crust. In all these places, microbes are found in water, sometimes the smallest droplet of water.
At one time, Mars may have been home to microbes. In one of the show's scenes, a rocket travels to Mars to deploy a robot in search of life. And though the scene is animated a NASA rover in March found a rock sample that indicates Mars "could have supported living microbes," according to a news release from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Sending robots is crucial to searching for life beyond Earth, Grint says.
Scientists are also excited about finding life on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. "Does this icy moon have the ingredients for life?" NASA asks on its website dedicated to Europa. Europa has a "surface ocean of salty water," the website says, "deep enough to cover the whole surface of the planet." The top of the ocean is frozen, but scientists suspect there may be life under the top, where the ocean is liquid.
WHAT: "We Are Aliens," an animated, full-dome planetarium show that investigates for the existence of life beyond Earth.
WHERE: Chabot Space and Science Center, 10000 Skyline Blvd., Oakland
WHEN: through Dec. 15
TICKETS: Included with general admission
INFORMATION: www.chabotspace.org or call 510-336-7373.

The need for treatment evidence for common mental disorders in developing countries
There is now a considerable body of epidemiological evidence from developing countries and multilateral agencies that so called common mental disorders are common and disabling (e.g. Murray & Lopez, 1996; Patel et al. 1998). The logical next step is to identify efficacious and cost-effective health services interventions that can tackle the all-important 'so-what' question that is posed by doctors and policy makers in developing countries when confronted with startling prevalence statistics. The rise of evidence-based medicine has highlighted the need for quality trials that can inform and guide clinical practice. This editorial poses the question of whether we need treatment evidence from developing countries. The key issue is whether we can assume that psychiatric treatment evidence can be applied from one culture, or region, to another. If, for example, this was possible, then clinical practice in developing countries could be fairly well informed by trials conducted in the West. However, there are several factors that limit the cross-cultural applicability of treatment research in psychiatry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Click on a question to see the answer.
A Positive Space program brings visibility and support to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans individuals. A Positive Space indicator (sticker) on an office door, workspace, or living space identifies the occupant as accepting and being supportive of these communities.
Participants in the program answer questions, provide assistance, suggest resources, and refer individuals to appropriate offices and services. Positive Space campaigns have been established at other universities (University of Toronto, University of Calgary, and York University).
Three groups sponsor the Queen's program: OPIRG Kingston, the Human Rights Office, and the Education on Queer Issues Project (EQUIP).
For many lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans students, staff, and faculty, university life provides an important opportunity to "come out." This can be a difficult and confusing time, especially if they do not have anyone to whom they can talk or do not know the groups and resources that are available.
Program participants can provide this information and support. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans students, staff, and faculty will benefit by working in an environment where they are made to feel welcome. By establishing the Positive Space Program, Queen's is making this campus a more inclusive and comfortable place for all community members.
All members of the Queen's community who appreciate sexual and gender diversity and wish to provide additional support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people are encouraged to become involved.
It is hoped that staff, faculty, teaching assistants, residents, administrators, graduate students, and student organizations will all consider participating.
Participation involves a two-step process: completion of the on-line application and attendance at an information session to become familiar with the program. If members of a shared workspace are interested in participating, at least one member is required to attend the information session.
At the end of the information session, those who feel comfortable endorsing the mission statement may register in the program and receive their sticker for posting. Participants are not expected to provide counselling but, rather, general support. It is also expected that they will be familiar with discrimination and harassment policies as well as relevant organizations.
If you are interested in participating in the program, please complete the questionnaire found on this Web site.
If you are interested in joining the organizing committee, or would simply like more information, please contact the Positive Space Committee by email at email@example.com. Contact information for individual committee members is available on this web site, or you can phone the Human Rights Office (533-6886).
It is true that every place on campus should be queer-positive and that we all have a responsibility to be welcoming and inclusive of all people under the Queen's Harassment/Discrimination Policy and Procedure. However, the reality is that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people at Queen's are subjected to insults, harassment, and physical assaults, and that they continue to be excluded from texts, curricula, and scholarship.
The majority of these students, staff, and faculty do not experience most classrooms, labs, offices, or residences as queer-positive. As a result, very few feel comfortable self-identifying at Queen's. It is hoped that Positive Space Program indicators will offer them places where they can feel confident that sexual and gender diversity is respected and even celebrated.
The presence of the stickers will also raise awareness of the range of differences that exists on campus and sensitize others to subtle and overt forms of heterosexism and transphobia. In time, we do expect Queen's to be a queer-positive campus.
No. The presence of a Positive Space sticker identifies a particular space as being queer-positive, but it does not mean that other spaces are not.
Not all queer-positive people will choose to participate in this program. Some may wish to show their support by displaying posters, flying rainbow flags, or posting other welcoming signs. Others may choose not to identify themselves as queer allies, for a variety of reasons, and the absence of a Positive Space sticker should not be assumed to reflect discriminatory attitudes about gender and sexual diversity.
Such a program would be desirable and useful. However, there is a pressing need to address sexual and gender diversity because of the relative invisibility of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans communities. Unlike many visible differences that lead to the harassment and discrimination of members of other groups, sexual and gender identity can be hidden. The high levels of heterosexism and transphobia in our society, and at Queen's, persuade most lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people to hide this aspect of themselves. Many faculty, students, and staff live in fear of being "found out" and do not pursue scholarship, friendships, or associations that may raise suspicions about their identities. Thus, the communities become invisible, giving the erroneous appearance of few lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people on campus, and the issues become invisible, with only the most courageous members and allies of these groups challenging these forms of discrimination.
The Positive Space Program expects that participants will have an understanding of the issues related to heterosexism and transphobia, an awareness of queer culture, and knowledge of relevant resources at Queen's and in Kingston. To this end, we require that participants attend a two-hour information session, and we offer ongoing meetings to ensure that resources and knowledge remain current. A significant commitment on the part of volunteers would be required to achieve that level of knowledge for all groups who are vulnerable to discrimination and harassment. Although this particular program focuses on sexual and gender diversity, research suggests that queer-friendly attitudes are correlated with support for other forms of diversity. It is hoped that all members of the community will find respect and support in queer-positive spaces.
There are no guarantees that all participants in the program will be completely queer-positive, however, the probability is high that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people will be respected and supported in designated spaces.
'We require participants to "apply" for the program, to attend a two-hour information session, and to attend ongoing educational meetings to update knowledge and resources.
The use and effectiveness of the program is monitored and feedback from program participants, as well as the larger Queen's community, is invited.
The logo consists of an inverted Rainbow Triangle against the Queen's "Q." The six-coloured rainbow is taken from the Rainbow Flag, a common symbol of queer pride and support. The triangle is a reminder of the pink and black triangles that were used to mark gay men and lesbians in Nazi concentration camps during WorId War II.
Our design was modelled on York University's positive space logo.
The impact of the program is monitored by program participants and the Positive Space Committee. Participants are asked to provide the committee with feedback on requests for information and comments generated by the presence of the stickers.
It is hoped (and expected) that this program will contribute to a reduction in the levels of transphobia and heterosexism across campus and will result in greater numbers of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people feeling comfortable self-identifying at Queen's. It is also hoped that the frequency of heterosexist and transphobic incidents will decrease. However, because these incidents are rarely reported, an increase in reporting may follow an increase in the comfort level of queers at Queen's.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Two Connecticut high school football players have been charged in sexual assault cases that, like a recent high-profile Ohio rape case, have led to online taunts directed at an accuser.
The two 18-year-old Torrington High School players, Edgar Gonzalez and Joan Toribio, were charged with felony second-degree sexual assault and other crimes in February in cases involving different 13-year-old girls. Toribio also was charged two weeks ago in another second-degree sexual assault case.
A state judge sealed details of the allegations from public view. Both teens have pleaded not guilty to all charges. The arrests were first reported by the Register Citizen newspaper.
At least one of the alleged victims in Torrington, about 30 miles west of Hartford, has been taunted on social media by dozens of upset classmates, the newspaper reported. Students have called a girl a "whore" and bashed her for "snitching" and "ruining" the players' lives.
State prosecutor Terri Sonnemann declined to comment on the sexual assault cases and on whether authorities are investigating the online taunts.
Gonzalez's lawyer, J. Patten Brown III, said he hasn't seen the state's evidence yet, but has been told the charges allege consensual, but statutorily illegal, sex. He said Gonzalez is not making any admissions about having relations with the girl and intends to fight the charges.
"Oftentimes people are arrested and when all the facts come out they're different than what people assumed," Brown said.
A message was left Wednesday for Toribio's attorney, Charles Brower.
In the Ohio case, Steubenville High School football team members Trent Mays and Ma'Lik Richmond were sentenced to at least a year in juvenile jail Sunday after being found guilty of using their hands to rape a drunken 16-year-old girl.
The Steubenville case bitterly divided the city and led to accusations of a cover-up to protect the athletes.
On Tuesday, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said the teen girl is being victimized by threats against her on Twitter and he demanded an end to such postings.
In Torrington, Gonzalez and Toribio have been suspended from school, said Ken Traub, chairman of the local Board of Education.

Drywall Repairs | Water Damaged Drywall | Mold Remediation | Water Damage Restoration
Drywall repairs are different for each project we do, and so the price will vary, depending on your needs.
Our drywall repairs services may include the following;
Re-taping, filling of nail holes, nail pops, pin holes, cracks, dents, dings, new corner bead, specific repairs, finding irregualrities,
removal of damaged drywall, replacing damaged sections of drywall, blow-out patches, screen patching, spackling, point-up,
water damaged drywall repairs, mold remediation, replacements, and complete wall floating with plaster or spackle.
Prior to applying finishes, the key to a successful paint job is in the preparation,
Yes, the Quality of paint does matter, and yes, the person applying the paint matters, but preparation is the most important
aspect of any Quality paint job.
If you paint walls with little or no preparation, you will have new paint over ugly walls.
Little do you realize...
Some of your walls and ceilings may be brightly lit, while other areas may not have good lighting at all. Some walls and ceilings
are newer, with fewer blemishes, while others are older, and have more problems.
Some projects need minimal drywall repairs, while others can become a major project.
Chances are, when you look at your walls and ceilings, you dont really notice many defects, but when you have a professional
apply the paints properly, and you fall in love with your walls,
...the irregularities seem to jump out at you.
Drywall repairs are necessary to acquire a beautiful finish.
Other than using Quality paint, and having a professional apply it, drywall repairs is what makes a Quality paint job.
Back to Drywall Menu
It is easier to price work for drywall repairs that a homeowner is aware of, and can show us.
Specific drywall repairs includes the amount of time it takes to do the specific repairs, and it includes only the specific
repairs you have instructed us to fix.
We are skilled at drywall repairs of all sorts.
Back to Drywall Menu
When was the last time you really looked at your walls?
There may be irregularities on your walls and ceilings that you (or we) can not see, and will only be seen after paint is
We can increase the odds of finding these blemishes, and irregularities, by using high intensity lighting.
This procedure is a level-up from being "specific"; it covers more repairs, and since it takes more time, it does cost more
... and yet, it is still not 100% perfect.
Finding and repairing drywall irregularities is not included unless agreed upon from the beginning, and in writing.
Back to Drywall Menu
Drywall point up is the process of spackling of drywall irregularities after the first or even second coat of paint is applied.
Point up is not included unless agreed upon from the beginning, and in writing.

If you need new drywall installed, we can do it!
Water damage, fire, accident, insurance, new construction.
New drywall installations include hanging the drywall, taping, corner beads, first coat spackle, second coat spackle, finish
coat spackle, and sanding.
Your new drywall installations will be ready to prime and paint.
We do new drywall installations in homes, offices, basements, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, walls and ceilings.

Look at this great example of how water can create bacteria ridden mold spores for you to breathe. - This is not a good thing!
The above damage didn't happen over-night. Behind the wall, the pipes were leaking, and had been leaking for a long
time - and nobody cared to take notice of WHY the bathroom always smelled like it did, until the walls starting turning black.
Let's start with worst case scenerio-
First off -
Water damaged drywall should be taken VERY seriously.
Water damaged drywall can harbor mold and harmfull bacteria, and especially if it is exposed to water for a while.
Water damaged drywall can happen when your basement is flooded (for whatever reason), or you have a constant water leak that
ends up puddling on the drywall, or being absorbed into the drywall.
You might be able to salvage some of it, and remove the bad sections and replace, or you might have to remove it all and start
When it comes to you and your family's health, replacing water damaged drywall is an easy choice.
We are water damaged drywall experts. We can assess your situation and advise you on our professional opinion.
We can remove
damaged, clean and disinfect, and install new.
...more on water damaged drywall
Back to Drywall Menu
Most often, water damage is unseen until the day you notice the brown streaks, or round marks on your ceiling.
Most of the time, these water marks are caused by your gutters not being cleaned out regularly (the gutters over fill and
water backs up into the house).
...Other times it's because a source of water, just above the "mark", has leaked (bathroom, kitchen, missing shingle, damaged
pipe etc..).
...or maybe a heavy thunderstorm with high winds blew water in, up under the eaves and gravity caused the running water to
follow the building structure.
If you see signs of water, find the cause right away and take care of it.
Back to Drywall Menu
Mold is found everywhere that you can find water, dampness, or moisture. The spores of mold are how mold travels and reproduces.
Many molds are harmless, and even benificial; we use them in certain foods such as cheese, yogurts, and even medical use,
however, there are many other molds that can cause headaches, respiratory problems, sinus congestion, asthma, skin rashes,
brain damage, and even death.
While mold can be found in a lot of wet, damp places, the spores from mold are found
[literally] everywhere. We breathe in mold spores all the time with other dust and pollen, from everywhere we go, but,
it's usually not enough to affect most humans and animals (although mold spores can become a serious health hazard when breathed
in large quantites).
When you have any type of water damage or water leak in your home, mold growth is a possibility, and once it's growing behind
your drywall with continuous moisture, you may be headed toward serious health problems.
Mold remediation is a procedure for removing mold and contaminants, with guidelines we follow to insure proper removal and
sanitation. We offer water damage restoration with no worries, and peace of mind that your mold problem is taken care of.

Must Be Nice: Diddy's Son Justin Now Owns A Maybach Limo Too
- By Bossip Staff Categories: Babies, Ballers, Celebrity Seeds
Diddy's son Justin recently celebrated his 17th birthday and marked the occasion with a more low key celebration compared to last year's appearance on MTV's "My Super Sweet Sixteen."
What wasn't low key however was his gift from the Bad Boy Records head who bought him yet another $300,000 plus Maybach; this time a limousine.
Diddy was criticized last year for buying such an expensive gift for the teen but obviously ignored critics and gave his son another luxury car estimated to cost over $396,000. (Continue Reading)

In the Oct. 19 Standard Democrat it shows George Simmons among the first 30 lots developed in the new Cotton Estates Subdivision. This man has the right idea. It's just that the prices are going to be outrageous on those kinds of homes. You let the people come in there and do this and you know you haven't got the industry on the north side in the new industrial park and places for people to work and make the money to buy these houses. That's what makes the city of Sikeston look so stupid. Mike Marshall, you're the mayor now. It's time for you to get on board here. Malone Avenue is supposed to be the dividing center of Sikeston and you should keep as much of Sikeston built on the south side as on the north. People come here from other areas and wonder where the main part of town is. I've never seen a town so scattered and broken up in all my life. That doesn't fare well for Sikeston. Get in gear and get some of the land developed on the north side of Sikeston too. You're on the right track. But you're going to have to get some housing below $75,000. You don't have the jobs for people to be able to afford to buy those kinds of homes. What's so hard to understand about that?
To the customer who complained about the extra ear piercings, nose piercings, whatever. I don't care what somebody looks like. As long as they're clean and are very friendly to me, I will be their customer.
The Standard Democrat is no longer reporting the news in Charleston like city council meetings and stuff. A lot is going on over here now with the council on requests for a game room and different things that would be of concern to citizens here in Charleston. Get back on the ball and start reporting the Charleston City Council meetings and the other good news and bad news in Charleston. I also see where there is a deadline for building demolition downtown. That's also a big issue. I would appreciate it if you would start reporting on the Charleston City Council again and what's going on in Charleston. I subscribe to your paper and would appreciate it if you would start printing it.
I was shopping at Lowe's a few days ago and two gentlemen in the Lawn and Garden Department were very helpful. They were polite and willing to help and answer any questions I had. Their names are Mike and Josh. If any management at Lowe's reads this, give these two gentlemen a pat on the back. I would recommend anyone to work with these two.
Someone lost a set of keys at Highway 60 & FF, near the DGA station. I have them. If you believe they are yours, call 667-5246 and identify them. There are a few things on the key ring that can be named to identify them.
There seems to be a baby contest every week in either Morehouse, Matthews or New Madrid. Why do you parents feel the need to parade your kids around in front of all of those other parents who are sure that their baby is prettier than yours? Take that money and buy those kids a toy, they will enjoy it a whole lot more.

We Wear the Mask
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
We Wear the Mask Theme of Society and Class
No matter where you are, there's no getting around issues of society and class. In Dunbar's "We Wear the Mask," society looks mighty cold and even a little dumb, when it comes to the realities the speaker refers to. And since the speaker is talking to a pretty big audience, we get the sense that he's not limiting this poem to any one society or class. Everyone gets served up a nice dish of poetic criticism. Yum.
Questions About Society and Class
- How is a mask symbolic of the ways in which society organizes people into class?
- How does the speaker's inclusion of the word "world" help to illuminate issues of society and class in Dunbar's poem?
- What do you think are some of the "subtleties" Dunbar's speaker alludes to in reference to society? Are they always "subtle"? Why do (or don't) you think so?
- What do you think is the endpoint of the "long mile" the speaker mentions in the third stanza? How does this mile reflect the ultimate goal that each class strives to achieve?
Chew on This
Dunbar's mask is not so much a question of race, but is rather more about the issues of how society is organized according to race. That's a pretty complex mask there. Spooky, too.
Nope. Wrong. Thanks for playing. Society and class have nothing to do with it; after all, Dunbar's speaker could always remove that "mask" by speaking honestly about the problems he sees around him.

My doctor is 99% sure I have relapsing remittent MS (I only got diagnosed 6 months ago, so this is why I say 99%-because they haven't been looking at it for very long). When I do my research and when other people find out I have MS and they research it, I keep hearing that it gets worse with age. I am 20-years-old, and I thought that because I caught it at such a young age and I am already on Copaxone and treating it, it would not get worse. Most things I keep reading, however, seem to say otherwise. Will my MS definitely progress and get worse as I get older?READ MORE
Hi Melis,
I just want to second everything Djax said. Wonderful advice and wisdom she has shared. You might be interested in following one of our writers, Amy, who was diagnosed at 20 just like you. She's now 41 (like me).
MS is a progressive disease and the goal of the drugs is to slow down that progression. Unfortunately, the drugs do not stop the disease. But then again, many people's MS progresses very, very slowly over time.
It's wonderful that your disease was caught so early and that you have started treatment from the very beginning. Long-term studies have shown that the outcomes are better with early treatment vs. delayed treatment.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to live your life!! Keep a sense of humor; report new symptoms to your doctor; rest when necessary; eat well and exercise; and talk with other folks who have MS when you need a sounding board.
If there is anything else we can do, please feel free to ask.
melis-your ms could get worse-then again maybe not---i was 23 when i first got ms-i'm 60 now and still walking and talking. i'm not going to tell you that it all has been easy but it all wasn't bad. i have very few exacerbations. and i do wobble when i walk sometimes, and sometimes have to use my cane if i'm walking very far. but i still have a full life. i can still do pretty much what i used to do-except dance-my balance is terible and i do fall but i've been doing that for so long i can do it gracefully and i can still pick myself up and laugh about it. ms is an individual disease. everybody has their own. just take it as it comes and goes. it's good that you are on copaxone. avonex has been working for me for the past 10 yrs. it's important to keep things from getting worse so that when the cure comes we'll still be in good shape. the best advice i can give you is to keep a sense of humor and learn to laugh at yourself. ms can make us do funny things.djax59READ MORE
Melis, djax59 has given a very good answer which applies to everybody with MS. Let me add few points from my own experience. Well. this is not to frighten you. I just want to keep you warned. I had my first brush with this disease at the age of 28. After two attacks in a span of 5 months I became fully normal and mu MRI after two years of first attack was reported as normal. Two more relapses came and gone without leaving any residua. Then 8 years after the first episode came the relapse that left me with ataxia, imbalance while walking, neurogenic bladder, erectile dysfunction. All this happened while I am on Avonex. I am still taking Avonex, though.
Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst.READ MORE

I'd go for grub. I'm not very experienced with installboot(8), but I
think grub should handle this without problem. I have done this myself

Tax Foundation
|Educating Taxpayers Since 1937
|Think tank
|1325 G Street NW, Suite 950
|Scott A. Hodge
The Tax Foundation is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank founded in 1937 that collects data and publishes research studies on US tax policies at both the federal and state levels. The Foundation's stated mission is to "educate taxpayers about sound tax policy and the size of the tax burden borne by Americans at all levels of government." The Tax Foundation is organized as 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit educational and research organization. It describes itself as a nonpartisan tax research group.[1] However, commentators have described it as pro-business and conservative.[2][3][4]
The organization is organized into three primary areas of research, carried out by the Foundation's Center for Federal Fiscal Policy, the Center for State Fiscal Policy[5] and the Center for Legal Reform.[6] The group is known for its annual reports such as "Facts & Figures: How Does Your State Compare"[7] which was first produced in 1941[8] and Tax Freedom Day for the United States, which it has produced since the early 1970s.
Goals and principles[edit]
Tax Foundation states that their research is guided by what they call the principles of sound tax policy: simplicity, transparency, neutrality, stability, no retroactivity, broad bases and low rates.[9]
Tax Foundation research is generally critical of tax increases,[10][11][12][13] high business taxes,[14] excise taxes,[15] tax preferences for the housing industry,[16] and use of the tax credits (which the Foundation views as "picking winners and losers").[17][18] The Foundation have spoken favorably of efforts to balance the federal budget with tax reform and significant spending cuts, such as the Bowles-Simpson plan,[19] the Ryan Plan,[20] and the Wyden-Coats plan.[21]
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (April 2015)
Since 2013, the Tax Foundation has offered guidance to same-sex married couples filing income taxes at the state level, where local laws recognizing same-sex marriage can vary considerably.[22][23]
The Tax Foundation was organized on December 5, 1937 in New York City by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., Chairman of the General Motors Corporation; Donaldson Brown, GM Financial Vice President; William S. Farish, President of Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (Exxon); and Lewis H. Brown, President of Johns-Manville Corporation, who later became the first Chairman of the Board of The Tax Foundation.[24] The stated goal of the organization was "to monitor the tax and spending policies of government agencies".[25] Its offices were located at 50 Rockefeller Plaza and later 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
The Tax Foundation's first project was a successful effort to stop a tax increase in Westchester County, New York, where they provided research and analysis (including an "Expenditure Survey" of state spending) to local activists.[25] By 1943, the Tax Foundation had helped set up taxpayers associations and expenditure councils in 35 states.[25]
During World War II, Tax Foundation research emphasized restraining government spending domestically to finance wartime expenditures. In 1948, the Tax Foundation opened an office in Washington, D.C., and in 1978 relocated there completely.[25] Its research and analysis has historically emphasized publicizing federal and state financial information, arguing against the use of tax systems for "social engineering," and urging "broad bases and low rates" tax reform.[1][25]
Beginning in 1990, the Tax Foundation "operate[d] as a separate unit" of Citizens for a Sound Economy.[26] By July 1991, the Tax Foundation was again operating as an independent 501(c)(3) organization.[27]
Beginning in 2009, The Tax Foundation's offices were located in the National Press Building in Washington, D.C.[28] In 2015, the Tax Foundation left the National Press Building.[29]

The Tax Foundation accepts grants from foundations, corporations, and individuals. It does not solicit or accept funds from government sources.[35] The Tax Foundation has earned a 3 out of 4 star financial rating and 4 out of 4 star accountability and transparency rating from Charity Navigator.[36]
The Tax Foundation has received funding from ExxonMobil[40] and from conservative political groups such as the Koch Family Foundations,[41] the Earhart Foundation,[42] and numerous others.[43]
The Tax Foundation's annual study that calculate Tax Freedom Days in the United States has been criticized by left-leaning think tanks, such as the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP)[44] and Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ),[45] citing repeated "methodological errors" and "reliance on early projections without hard data." CBPP has also criticized other reports by the Tax Foundation,[46][47][48] and in turn the Tax Foundation has responded or criticized CBPP reports.[49][50][51][52][53] The two groups have some areas of agreement, such as opposition to tax preferences for business pass-through income,[54] to many tax expenditures,[55] and to sales tax holidays.[56][57] The Tax Foundation and CBPP have also worked together on analysis of the marriage penalty in the US federal income tax.[58]
US economist Paul Krugman has characterised the Tax Foundation as "not a reliable source" while criticizing a report by the Tax Foundation comparing corporate tax rates in the United States to those in other countries.[59] Krugman has also accused the Tax Foundation of "deliberate fraud" in connection with a report it issued concerning the American Jobs Act.[60]

Got such a nice comment today. "Dan, CrossFit Woodbridge has changed every aspect of my life in such a positive manner" These never get old as this is exactly what we aim to do here. It's great to know that fitness has been the vehicle for change and that we have a place where people are comfortable in doing so. I think keeping this in mind, that CrossFit is something positive in our lives, not all consuming, not cut throat but always positive.

he was working on a table saw he cut the three middle fingers of his left hand.
This led to several more months of rehabilitation. After a year Ray
still couldn't play the banjo again because his fingers were still sore.
He found rubber finger tips to put over his fingers and found that this
would reduce the pain and allow him to start playing again.

it and make a CD. Ray gave a few copies to his friends and

KOLKATA: In a virtual rebellion against the UPA government, its largest ally Trinamool Congress on Friday threatened to pull out over the petrol price hike, as it sought an appointment with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh before taking "any vital decision".
"Our withdrawal of support may result in fall of the government. But since the Prime Minister is away, we want to discuss with him and have sought an appointment with him," Trinamool Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee told reporters at the state secretariat here.


text: So lets assume that the next Nu Trek movie is the last one with these actors and film makers. I see two options if the franchise is still profitable: 1) A fresh reboot from the beginning with new actors playing Kirk, Spock and McCoy. And yet another origin story of how they meet again. Or 2) Stay in this Abrams-verse and jump ahead 100 years to the TNG era. I think the chances are higher for the former, but just for fun, lets look at what a nuTNG would look like. Lets start with the ship. As the sets and special effects are the most important things in a "modern" Trek movie. The Enterprise D would look kind of what it looks like in the prime timeline, especially the Saucer Section. But the Engineering Hull would be warped and distorted as if seen with a fun house mirror. And the Warp Nacelles would be much bigger (about 3x larger) in proportion with the rest of the ship. The red Bussard Collectors would be blue, and there would be rocket thrusters at the back, with keeping in line with the NuEnterprise. And the whole ship would be about 2 miles long. The interior would be a mix of sterile white futuristic and modern day grimy industrial. The Bridge would look somewhat like it did on the TV show, only bigger with a lot of extra standing consoles all over the place, a shinny floor and white walls. Not that we'd ever get a good look at it with the amount of lens flares on the camera. The corridors would match the Bridge and would be long enough for the characters to run up and down them every time they need to get somewhere. Engineering would be filmed in an old car factory or warehouse. Next we have the characters. Jean Luc Picard: 20 something year old Starfleet cadet. He would start off young and reckless, as in this timeline he hadn't have gotten stabbed in his heart. Basically he would be like Chris Pines Kirk, only with a bald head. Why would he be bald if he was in his 20's? Well it's because everyone knows that Picard is the "bald captain" so in the nuTNG movie he would have to have a shaved head, like Shinzon. Will Riker: 20 something years old. Wait, how could Riker be in his 20's if Picard is also in his 20's? Because this is nuTrek it doesn't have to make sense anymore. If you can't take it, you goddamn Trekkie, crawl back into your parents basement where you belong. So Riker is 20 years old, also a Starfleet Cadet. Basically Chris Pine Kirk 2.0, except he has dark hair and a beard. But Riker didn't grow a beard until TNG's second season. But this Riker always had a beard because audiences know Riker is the First Officer with a beard, so nuRiker has a beard. Also the audience will need a scene where Picard gives Riker his nickname "Number One", but more on that later. Dianna Troi: 20 something year old Starfleet cadet, just like nuUhura gets moved up to top billing and increase in screen time. Rikers love intrest. She is half Batazoid, but instead of being merely empathic, she has full Professor Xavier style psychic powers, and able to control peoples minds. Because in the NuTrek Universe all the characters are supercharged versions of their former selves. Data: Already a pretty supercharged character, he is the most like the original. Except, he is far more robot looking in this time line. Similar looking to C3PO from Star Wars. Geordi La Forge: 20 something year old Starfleet cadet, Never becomes helmsman, instead becomes the nuEnterprise D's Chief Engineer. He is blind but sees with the help of a VISOR. His VISOR isn't a modified hairband but a complicate high-tech electronic device that looks like an Oculus Rift: http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/11/3867146/oculus-rift Beverly Crusher: 20 something year old Starfleet cadet/med student. Possible love interest for Picard. Mother of Wesley Crusher, wife of Jack Crusher. So an obvious Jean Luc/Beverly/Jack love triangle can develop. As we all know there's nothing like a good old fashioned love triangle to get good character development. Tasha Yar: 20 something year old Starfleet cadet. She becomes the nuEnterprise chief of security but gets killed about halfway through the movie. Worf: 20 something year old Starfleet cadet. He will be mainly used for comic relief. A cross between Chewbacca and NuScotty's alien sidekick from the last two movies. Every line he says in the movie is in Klingon, except there aren't any subtitles for what he says. All the other characters know what he is saying but the audience doesn't. He takes over as chief Tactical/Security after Yar is killed. Jack Crusher: 20 something year old Starfleet cadet. Picard's best friend. And one third of the Jean Luc/Beverly/Jack love triangle. He performs a noble sacrifice near the end of the movie helping to save the day and leaving Beverly a grieving widow for Picard to consol. Wesley Crusher: 8 year old son of Jack and Beverly Crusher. Super brilliant genius, he helps save the day at one point in the movie. Nurse Alyssa Ogawa: Briefly seen in one scene in sickbay, as Beverly Crusher gives her an order. Chief O'brien: Transporter operator, whose sole purpose in the film is to beam people up and down. Q: The Villain of the film. He is essentially an amalgamation of all the god like characters ever seen in Star Trek, but mostly Trelane. And now for the Plot, since Generations came out the plot is obviously the least important aspect for a Trek movie, so here goes: Picard is convinced to join Starfleet, for some reason, words like destiny and fate are used (words better suited to Star Wars than Star Trek). So Picard goes to Starfleet Academy and meets the rest of the characters, who are all conveniently in the same Academy Class together. Picard becomes friends with Jack Crusher. But Picard and Riker don't like each other at first. Picard and Riker see each other as competition, and since it's possible to go straight from Cadet to Captain of the Federation Flag Ship competition is fierce. At one point Riker tells Picard that he always comes in first place, so often in fact, that his friends call him "Number One". Picard however beats Riker and starts calling him "Number One" in a mocking manner. Until the end of the movie when they team up, and become friends, Picard then uses "Number One" as a form of affection. (The "Number One" origin scene will be similar to the "Bones" origin Scene from Star Trek 2009) So at some point most of the fleet (and all that it stands for) will be detonated, by Q, who for some reason is after revenge against humanity. So Picard and his class mates will have to team up and take command of the brand new Enterprise D. And engage in an epic chess game of life and death with a one man weapon of mass destruction, Q. With a ticking clock on a doomsday device about to destroy Earth. Tash Yar gets killed. The various crew members use their skills to do stuff. Jack Crusher does the noble sacrifice thing. Q has a Big Bad Space Ship (for some reason) that dwarfs the 2 mile long nuEnterprise D. Q's ship and the Enterprise fight. Picard and Q get in a climactic fist fight. Which Picard wins, and as Q is down and out Picard snaps his neck killing him. While Picard says something like: "Being a god must be hard work, you should take a break" then snap, he breaks his neck. Every one in the theatre will think it's "kewl", and afterwards will be talking about how much of a bad ass this version of Picard is. Q's ship explodes but O'brien beams Picard back. There is a brief epilogue, with the crew in their customary spots, each get a line of clichéd dialogue. Wesley Crusher, despite being only 8 years old is the ships Helmsman, for his reward for saving the ship. The Enterprise is ready to go off on its next adventure. Picard says his famous "Space the Final Frontier..." and Credits. The End I think this is a guaranteed hit right here, as long as it has a budget of about $200 million. And I can't wait to see it in the summer of 2019. Followed by two more sequels. One in 2022 when nuPicard and Crew fight the nuBorg. And another one in 2025 when nuPicard and Crew fight nuCardasians (with a possible nuDS9 spinoff hinted at). Each movie will simply be a variation of the same story, with the same action beats being done over and over again in each movie. What do you all think?

Mumps is a viral illness that is spread through the air by respiratory droplets or by direct contact with saliva droplets. Not everyone infected with mumps will have symptoms, but even those persons without symptoms can spread the virus. A person can transmit mumps from 3 days before to 4 days after the onset of symptoms.
Symptoms of mumps begin about 14 to 18 days after exposure. Up to 20% of infected persons will have no symptoms. About 30 to 40% will have extensive swelling of the parotid glands along the jaw line. Other symptoms include myalgia (muscle pain), malaise, headache, and low-grade fever. In addition, up to 50% of postpubertal males develop orchitis (inflammation of the testicles) and about 15% of infected persons develop meningitis (brain inflammation).
Treatment of mumps is based on relief of symptoms and treatment of complications. MMR vaccine and immune globulin given after exposure does not prevent development of symptoms.
Although in the past measles, mumps and rubella were available
as individual (single antigen) vaccines, the manufacturer is no longer
making these individual vaccines. Instead measles, mumps, and rubella
vaccines are given as combined MMR vaccine or as MMRV vaccine (combined
MMR vaccine and varicella vaccine).

effects. For more information about these possible side effects, go to
the varicella pages on the Vaccines section of this website.
