Click here to scope out July with Temple Micah!
Posted in Micah eMailbox | No Comments »
by Elaine Lee, Membership & Communications Director
"Choosing Love and Family at a B'nei Mitzvah" describes the occasion of Casey and Rebecca Zickerman becoming bar and bat mitzvah, respectively. The dual ceremony in honor of brother and sister at Temple Micah is recalled in a June 22 viewpoint on IFF Network Blog by their cousin, Ed Case of Newton, MA, founder of InterfaithFamily, who participated at this interfaith celebration here a few months ago. "I've been to a lot of bar and bat mitzvahs in my life," he blogged about the Temple Micah service, "but I've never been so deeply moved as I was on a recent Shabbat."
He especially appreciated the rabbi's inclusive approach allowing non-Jews to participate in various Jewish rituals.
InterfaithFamily, according to its mission, "empowers people in interfaith relationships — individuals, couples, families and their children — to engage in Jewish life and make Jewish choices, and encourages Jewish communities to welcome them." For resources, contacts or more info, check the organization's website.
Mazel tov from everyone at Temple Micah to Nancy Sharp, the Zickerman twins' mom, whose memoir, "Both Sides Now," recently won the Colorado Book Award for Creative Nonfiction. It's an annual award presented by the Colorado Humanities and Center for Books.
MANY THANKS FROM TEMPLE MICAH (for donations received last month)…

by Kane Aldinger, Team Micah Softball Captain
The self-chosen, self-anointed "Motley Jews" of Temple Micah are .500 after seven games and making history with every swing of the bat this year. The Bet Division of The Denver Jewish Softball League has become quite competitive and we are in the mix. But we couldn't do it without our loyal fans and our new fans. With winning in our diet, our fan base has grown and we even have a team doctor. Michelle Mang has mended a few scrapes and bruises this year. Why? Maybe all the middle-aged men, sliding and diving, are trying to match the play of our two young hot shots, Jacob Sorokin and Josh Bogen, who keep making highlight plays every week.
"It's really fun watching the Micah Motley Jews play softball. They definitely have the Micah ruach/spirit!" says Dena Sorokin, Jacob's mom, who snapped photos of the team with a few bleacher buddies.
Long story short, we are having a good season and a great time. Games are between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon almost every Sunday into early August at Kennedy Ballfields on South Kenton Street. It's just off the Cherry Creek Bike Trail, so come on out and enjoy some great American past-time while mingling with the rest of the Denver Jewish community.

Yiddish Proverb – Fun fartrikenteh baimer kumen kain paires nit arois. (No fruit falls from withered trees.) Based on the annual meeting we had on Sunday, June 14, it is clear to me that Temple Micah is NOT a withered tree and we continue to bear many beautiful and tasty fruits. As treasurer and now president of the Temple Micah Board of Trustees, I'm proud to serve the temple and its members during our continued growth and prosperity. We are firmly ensconced in our new home at Park Hill United Methodist Church and continue to serve a membership of more than 200 families, including over 400 individuals.
We have consecrated a new covenant with Rabbi Adam Morris that extends his tenure with Temple Micah through June 2025. We have extended our lease with Park Hill United Methodist through June of 2022. We have successfully established an endowment at Rose Community Foundation which will allow us to plan for the future. We are a tree with a firm foundation and have every opportunity to spread our branches and grow and bear many fruits.
As the newly installed President of the Board of Trustees, I am excited to be a part of Temple Micah leadership at this exciting time. We have several new board members who are going to bring enthusiasm and excitement as well as new perspectives and ideas. We recognize that our temple make-up is changing. And we need to better understand the needs, values and expectations of our members, so that we can develop programs that appeal and bring value. We are paving the way to better understand and engage our membership through the reshaping of professional staff and the installation of software that enables data collection and functionality to gain insight into our membership. We will be sharing more about this in the coming months.
I look forward to blogging on a monthly basis: about the state of Temple Micah, my thoughts on its activities and goings on, maybe a little about my perspective on current events, temple life and Judaism, among other things. I'd love to hear from you about how we can better serve you and the membership. Please feel free to reach me through Temple Micah, 303-388-4239.

Each year Temple Micah applauds new graduates among members' families, commends student accomplishments and encourages their continued thinking. Furthermore, may they live passionately ever after, while eking out a living. Despite imminent practical challenges such as getting a job, this year's graduation ceremonies implored over and over: Do what you love and love what you do. Grads want to believe that this path can lead out of Egypt (parents' homes) to the American Dream (a separate entrance) or even to the Promised Land (a different address). My son spoke on stage at his campus with a charge to all present to get out of the robes, get up and go forth, because the world needs you and it's time to find your place.
"In preparing for this speech," he said, "I went through and listened to some recent commencement speeches that included Colbert, Ellen DeGeneres, JFK, and Steve Jobs. I loved the inspiring feelings and confidence that these speakers instilled in me and could picture myself sitting in the audience with each graduating class. In the words of Ellen: Usually when you're wearing a robe at 10 o'clock in the morning it means you've given up. Now, you might be thinking that has happened to me before. And I'm here to tell you it will happen again. But Graduation isn't an excuse to wear a robe for the rest of your life. It's never too late to remove the robe, get out there, and continue to share your gifts with the world."
Mazel tov, Micah grads of 2015!

Temple Micah congregants and others interested are invited to the Opening Reception for this display of Natalie Kutner's artistic work from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Friday, June 19 at The Art Gallery, Fulginiti Pavilion for Bioethics and Humanities, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, 13080 E. 19th Ave., Aurora. Natalie was a member of the Temple Micah family [and Fred's wife] until her death in April 2014. In her 50s after a career in Medical Social Work, she returned to school to earn a Master in Art (Sculpture) degree, then a Master in Fine Arts degree in order to realize her life-long dream of becoming a full-time artist. The show reflects her musings about domesticity, motherhood, being a woman and how we treat children.

The news of President Obama's new Twitter feed was not much of a news flash to me (Didn't he already have one?). The news of the rapid response of the racists to President Obabama's new Twitter feed made me sad, angry and dispirited. I know that we are probably speaking of such a small percentage of people who actually would post such nasty, mean-spirited and hateful things. In our day and age, it does not take many people to stir it up. We live in a world in which the more outrageous or extreme voices get attention — and, usually, the extremity of those voices is inversely proportional to the amount of people with those views and perspectives.
I want to be counted — along with what I suspect are the plurality of voices — who are outraged that any person — yet less the President of our county — is treated in such a manner. I want to be counted and have the world hear — MOST of us do not feel this way.
I have the same reaction when I pay attention to other ways that racism and prejudice rear their ugly heads in our world. Last summer it was in Ferguson, MO. Just recently, it was in Baltimore. I believe that most people in our world want safety, security and opportunity for everyone — regardless of race or socioeconomic status. It seems that we do not have an effective way to say so. I feel strongly about these very fundamental justice issues, but I do not know quite what to do with my convictions.
Can we get our voices heard? Can we be counted?
In our weekly Torah portion, Bemidbar, our spiritual ancestors are, quite literally, being counted as they begin their trek through the wilderness to the Promised Land. In an interesting use of language the command to 'take the count' by God, translates literally to "'Raise the heads' of all of the people of Israel.'" Rabbi Abraham Twerski suggests that this 'counting' is more than a simple act of logistics, but an act of empowerment:
"The Divine words were therefore carefully chosen to avoid misrepresentation of the symbolism of the desert: 'Elevate the heads of the entire congregation.' Every individual should know that he or she is capable of being elevated, of achieving the greatest heights."
When we raise our heads (and probably our hearts and our souls, too) — it is then we are counted. When we raise our heads, we remember that we can elevate ourselves and the world around us to heights we envision.
Perhaps we can start being counted in this way in regard to these issues in our own backyard — which for our Micah community is Park Hill. Park Hill is a very diverse community — and in many ways it is a microcosm of our larger society. I know we live all over the Denver Metro Area. I realize, too, that our reach to the Oval Office or to Ferguson or to Baltimore is limited at best. By being a part of Temple Micah we are all deeply connected to a neighborhood where we can be counted. When we stand and be counted anywhere, we are taking the steps toward everyone being counted, everywhere. Come let's begin being counted together….

Click here for your June overview of Temple Micah!
Congratulations are in order! Temple Micah's ongoing bevy of b'nai mitzvah services, replete with tossed candy, allows us all to marvel at students' sweet steps from childhood into Jewish adulthood. As adolescent congregants grow beyond these coming-of-age rites into other life-stages, the Micah community still cares about its offspring, wonders what becomes of them and gets to find out each spring — in graduation blurbs. Micah members, now's the time to share those "Grad of 2015" reports! If someone in your family soon will complete high school, college, university or other higher education, e-mail me by Friday, May 15 to put your grad-of-the-year in next month's Micah spotlight.
Please include the student's first and last names, school, diploma or degree and major, honors, chief activities, plans and so on – whatever you and your graduating person are willing to share publicly and would appreciate appearing in the temple blog. If I may help, I'd be delighted to hear from you at 303-388-4239 x1.
MANY THANKS FROM TEMPLE MICAH (for donations received last month)…

A year will come, a year will go, but what we learn will stay forever. Thank you to all of our amazing teachers who have planned lessons that have inspired our students not only to come each Sunday, but to think, explore and love their connection to Judaism and the Hebrew language. It is with great pleasure to list just some of our highlights from the Temple Micah Religious School and Mishpacha! program during this previous year and to provide a preview of the new 2015-2016 term:
News from 2014-2015 School Year
Bayachad family participants explored the concept of Veahavta Lereacha Kamocha — Love your neighbor as yourself — through interactive activities that parents and students participated together in within their respective classrooms.
Hebrew classes were abuzz with prayers, blessings, Shalom, basketball, games, 3D Hebrew letters and even a Llama, all in Hebrew.
Our K-1st grade students created flowers in honor of International Women's Day.
On a brisk, rainy morning during Sukkot, students traveled to our sukkah to decorate, learn, shake the lulav, eat harvest bread and sing songs.
4th Grade journeyed from Mitzrayim (Egypt) to the Promised Land experiencing the labor of a long walk, grumbling stomachs, fears of being without a leader and ability to make it on their own. Through a simulation that began at Blessed Sacrament School, they traveled to our Temple Micah Mikdash (Chapel) and back around to Blessed Sacrament. Students participated in a memorable enactment of our own Jewish journey.
Students sang with Rick Recht on a beautiful (non-snowy) Saturday night.
Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students teamed up with Kavod on the Road to learn about the mitzvah of mishloach manot – giving gifts of food on Purim. They worked with our Micah community to deliver those gifts to Micah members around the entire city of Denver.
5th/6th grades not only began to put together their own books related to the theme of "Love your neighbor as yourself," but, along with their families, learned about Sephardi Passover customs, tried different Sephardi foods and worked to create social justice seder plates.
Our Bar/Bat Mitzvah 7th graders worked diligently to present their first mock Torah service for the parents and one another in preparation for their big day of each leading an actual service.
Adults continue to learn Hebrew through song, prayer and laughter.
News for 2015-2016
Family Retreat growing: Religious School families will be invited to the Mishpacha! Family Retreat.
Sunday morning Shmear and Shmooze: Parents are welcome to stay after morning assembly to eat and chat with other parents.
Stay for Adult Learning: From 10:30-11:30 a.m. Bethany and Rabbi Adam Morris will be teaching a variety of adult learning classes. All classes, dates and topics will be posted at the beginning of the school year so you can choose from one or all to attend.
Joint PJ Library-Micah program: PJ Library provides a wonderful gift each month to every registered family in Denver who has a child between the age of 0-8. In the mailbox, families received a Jewish book for FREE to read and enjoy. Temple Micah will co-partner with PJ Library to provide another experience with Jewish books.
Sunday musical sessions led by local musicians: We are privileged to have so many local Jewish musical artists in our city. This is the year to let them shine at Temple Micah.

I don't know who you have as a creditor but tell them you want to cancel immediately and have it stopped right away. Majority of complaints are the consumers can't get rid of the charges falsely made. The creditor should go on the consumers side because of the practice that MRA does.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Parallel and Distributed Processing and Applications

Framework for Enabling Highly Available Distributed Applications for Utility Computing

The move towards IT outsourcing is the first step towards an environment where compute infrastructure is treated as a service. In utility computing this IT service has to honor Service Level Agreements (SLA) in order to meet the desired Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. Such an environment requires reliable services in order to maximize the utilization of the resources and to decrease the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Such reliability cannot come at the cost of resource duplication, since it increases the TCO of the data center and hence the cost per compute unit. We, in this paper, look into aspects of projecting impact of hardware failures on the SLAs and techniques required to take proactive recovery steps in case of a predicted failure. By maintaining health vectors of all hardware and system resources, we predict the failure probability of resources based on observed hardware errors/failure events, at runtime. This inturn influences an availability aware middleware to take proactive action (even before the application is affected in case the system and the application have low recoverability).
The proposed framework has been prototyped on a system running HP-UX. Our offline analysis of the prediction system on hardware error logs indicate no more than 10% false positives. This work to the best of our knowledge is the first of its kind to perform an end-to-end analysis of the impact of a hardware fault on application SLAs, in a live system.

As March arrives, so does the time for hockey tryouts. Even the word may send shivers up your spine.
How will my child perform? How will he/she be evaluated? Will he/she make the team?
This can be a stressful time, but this article will hopefully shed some light on the selection process for all our ABYHA travel teams.
The first thing to know is that ABYHA does not cut anyone. Every child that participates in the tryout will be placed on a team for the Fall.
Our tryout process is designed to place similarly skilled players together in order to provide an environment most conducive to improvement and fun.
The placement process happens over the course of the roughly 3 month period from March to Memorial Day. Everyone that has been through the process before is familiar with the on ice evaluations the program holds each March. In these sessions, an independent organization is asked to come and score the players over 2 sessions. In the Skills session, all the players complete a set of drills that are scored by the evaluators. Skaters are evaluated on skating ability and puck handling. In the 3x3 or 4x4 session, small area games are set up to evaluate true hockey game skills. Players are evaluated on competitiveness, creativity, vision and hockey IQ.
What is not as commonly known is that these sessions are only one part of the placement process. If your child played in the ABYHA program this or any recent season, they were evaluated by their coach during the March time frame. Each coach is asked to score each player on 18 attributes, and rank the players on the team. This is done by the head coach as well as all assistant coaches.
At this point, we have a mountain of data on each player in the system. Some of this data is generated by someone who never saw your child before. Some of this data is generated by coaches that spent 7 months with your child. The data comes from many angles, and is very thorough. At this point we have an online application that crunches all this data for us, and ranks every skater in each division. This list is reviewed with a first pass by ABYHA to make sure there are no obvious errors. ABYHA has done this process for many years, and what we find is that this first pass is amazingly accurate.
Based on the number of players in each division, the list is divided to make as many teams as makes sense for the number of skaters. We call this Version 1.
Version 1, including the tryout raw data, is shared with the current year Head Coaches. There is detailed discussion at this meeting about the Version 1 list. Any disagreements are voiced, discussed, and finally decided. This becomes Version 2.
Version 2, not including raw tryout data, is shared at a general coaches meeting, with all the current coaches. We now have many more points of view, so any discrepancy missed so far is generally found. More discussion takes place, and if need be, changes are made. We are now at version 3 of the team list, and we consider this final. This is the list that is announced around Memorial Day.
It is important to note that coaches for next year's teams have not been selected at this point. Only after the final Version 3 placement list is complete do discussions begin on who will be the coach.
As a parent on the outside of this process, there are a few tips to be shared.
If your child, who played in ABYHA this year, has an "off" night at tryouts, it will have very little effect on placement. As mentioned, there are coaches who spent 7 months with your child, and their opinion will be heard.
The same is true of missing tryouts, but this is not an excuse to skip, nor is it a reason for any player to "mail it in" at tryouts. We are looking to see the best from every skater, and this is their chance to shine and show us what they have. Determination and attitude play a big part in this game, and a bad attitude at tryouts will be noticed.
Once team placements are announced, please remember that this process is not about making the best, super, winning team. This process is about putting your child in the best position for them to improve, and most importantly, have fun. A child placed inappropriately will not be happy, and will not improve as he/she should. We strive to create a love of the game, where your child can't wait to get to the rink.
Remember, the team placements have been reviewed by no less than a dozen people, most of whom have played this game for many years, and at a high level. Your child was not missed or passed over.
If your child is a "bubble" player, meaning they are right on the line between 2 teams, consider the difference. If your child is in the bottom half in terms of skill for a team, he/she will touch the puck less, be less involved in the play, and struggle with confidence. "Playing up" does not produce better players. If your child is in the top half of skill on the team, they will be more involved in the play, touch the puck more, and gain confidence. Confidence is critical to this game at every level. If you rob your child of that early, it is very difficult to regain.
We look forward to another successful season in 2016-17.

Skip to comments.Kerry Supporters Tear Up Bush-Cheney Sign, Make Little Girl Cry
Posted on 09/16/2004 4:14:16 PM PDT by rintense
Check out the photo from yahoo. Only Kerry Supporters would do something so low.
Ok, check out your classic Kerry voters. Guy on the left is a dork that thinks a backwards baseball hat is the ultimate in cool. Woman with hat and open mouth has to wear her coat draped around her waist to mask her fat ass. Person behind her doesn't know if he/she is a man or a woman so is looking for that in between look. Little blonde kid on far right is in training to be a Democrat and learning the first rule of Democratic politics "if they are smaller than you, punch them."
I note the only Republican in the bunch is also the only one with a tie on.
They're putting that photo on the front page of the Washington Post?
I found it at #64 of #210 in the photo listings.
Well, that stinks. That's the "work" of RAT operatives, not adolescent vandals. Probably no difference these days.
It would be difficult... I have kin in that painter's union local, but I'm not sure I'll want to broach the subject.
IUPAT = Al Qaeda on the docks.
wow i guess i got the last laugh :) i ended up with post 1000 :) hehe :^D
IUPAT members crow, "It was a Bush bashin' day, and we're proud of it!"
Congrats rintense! That image would have died a quick death in Yahoo (after a frantic call from the Kerry cabal)if you hadn't brought it here. Another win for the good "guys".
I just got finished Emailing it to 50 friends. Most are people who have large lists of email addresses they send to daily.
The New Media is once again putting its mark on the political process.
That's a cell phone, or similar device with a display.
After seein' the pictures with little Sophie and what the RATS are capable of, I wonder what hell is goin on in this picture here...(Pay attention on the face of the guy in the background)
I would hope to get a plate number also, they claim that when the camera starts filming it can be set to send an email alert and the images can be viewed from any computer on the net.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to demand that your union, both at the local and national level, issue a very publicly apology to the family of the little girl shown in the Yahoo news photo ( http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040916/480/wvrs10309162250 ). This apology should appear in papers in every city in West Virginia, as well as any metropolitan area with 200,000 or more population. Also, the apology should announce that the union member pictured in the photograph wearing the backward hat has been kicked out of the union and removed from his job. This vile, disgusting act by a member proudly wearing your logo should turn your stomach the way it does any decent American. Failure to apologize publicly and nationwide will do nothing but further reinforce the widespread perception that all unions, most especially yours, are populated by brainless thugs who gets their jollies by assaulting little girls. We've come to expect this sort of behavior from you folks, sir. Only you can now attempt to change that image. Will you? Or will you tacitly admit that you enjoyed seeing this sick bastard assault a child and smirk afterward? Your move, sir.
I'll be waiting impatiently for your statement.
I've been anti-union a long while. This just reinforces that opinion.
he has the shifty eyes thing going on
Don't congrats me, seriously. Thank the bloggers and fellow freepers for spreading the word. Let's just hope some good comes of this for the little girl.
"Well something needs to be done! Just let some Kerry Sh*thead try that on me, I`ll bust his head open!"
Can I be "All"???? :-)
Relax my friend...things are OK. Y'all are ok in my book!!! And everyone else's.
Now, what I want, is for someone to identify the punk.
Rintense; Mountaineer;
Rintense, thanks for posting this. I am copying a response to Mountaineer because I do not know how to send the post to all the WV people who are Freepers. We are a crucial state for electoral votes and I am hoping Mountaineer will get the word out.
I am mortified to be from this area and to have the story reported nationally. Traditionally WV is 2:1 dims. Although the event occurred in Wayne County, I am just next door in Cabell. Mr. Parlock is an honorable person whom I have not met, but who has run for office on several occasions. He always makes great sense. Look at his class, wearing a nice shirt and tie, versus the others in the picture as an example of his 'opposition'.
A three-year need not to be subjected to idiotic behavior. Hopefully, the story will get out, and the area will finally begin to move toward PRESIDENT BUSH and others with similar values who also stand for class-act behavior. Maybe we will then reduce the 2:1 margin.
I contacted the NBC affiliate tonight after the 11:00 PM news, plus the lead anchor (whom I know,and who is a most honorable person),to express objections that the story did not 'run' on the 11:00 PM local news, despite the fact that it is already being reported nationally, and that it occurred locally. In fact, it was completely ignored in their newscast although they continue to be quite proud of the attention WV is receiving from the candidates. Nearly daily for several weeks now.
If I receive a response, I will get it out to all.
Dang RATS! They will get theirs!
You are correct. It's good that the image is going out to the masses as an accurate reflection of the kind of people supporting Kerry/Edwards. That's the beneficial outcome here.
Maybe he can't tell the difference. Someone probably handed it to him and told him to hold it. They said there'd be free beer later.
We should find out who that guy is and send him some emails saying we don't agree with his actions. (Hope this one doesn't get deleted like my last one) I know that some liberal websites are posting pictures and a name of some guy they say kicked some woman at the RNC while she was demonstrating.
Off the front page, eh.
Maybe I didn't look far enough down, I didn't go past the front page..
Such desperation on the rats part! This should be on a poster at every rally!
Just a single posting on FR about a Kerry rally in inner-city Pittsburgh. Probably true though.
Very sparse crowd, little noise. AFter a while, as Kerry is droning on, the Freeper reporting hears somebody say "Is he done yet? You promised me a hot og. Can we go now?"
Character is what you do when no one was watching. This guy probably thought no one was watching.
Entirely true, but I guess I figured we all knew this guy has no character.
I hope someone makes his life very miserable. What a jerk to do that. I wish he would be arrested. Unfortunately Union Thugs can do just about anything and get away with it. I hate Democrats. So glad I left those jerks a long time ago. Oooh, this burns me.
I'm sure they're all having a great big laugh about it over on the DUmmies site.
If the positions were reversed (a conservative ripping up a kid's Kerry/Edwards sign) it would be on the front page of every newspaper and be story #1. I'm dang sure we FReepers would be ripping the jerk for doing something like this--unlike the Dem bullies who applaud this kind of garbage.
Heh heh :)
Geeze, how embarrassing to be so stupid. If I was a Democrat, I would be humiliated to even keep myself alive. They can't really believe that. Good God.
</font size>Three-year-old Sophia Parlock cries while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, after having their Bush-Cheney sign torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004, at the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, W.Va. Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards (news - web sites) made a brief stop at the airport as he concluded his two-day bus tour to locations in West Virginia and Ohio.
Compassionate CONSERVATIVE
There is only one choice.
Make it count.
If you enlarge the image, it appears that he is holding a cell phone, not a piece of the sign.
(viewing movie requires Flash Player 7, available HERE)
It's gone, good notice. Thankyou for picking up on that.
These type thugs are typical of Kerry's Koolaid freeloader voters.
It is always truly amazing to me what FReepers can find out about people, (and find their phone numbers!)
Yep, I see that. His smug, grinning face is what gets me though. I'd still like to know who tore up the sign.
BWAAAHAHAHAAA!!! That's a keeper!
Was Dan Rather at the sleight of hands meeting?
Or just the usual MSM reps?
Is this a don't ask/don't tell situation, or do inquiring minds want to know why you have all these links to powerful pepper solutions????:)
Listen up everyone the rats or vote bombing the pic to keep it off the front page!
Don't let them go to the link in this thread for YAHOO and vote!
Give it a 5 everyone please!

When addressing the life of the creative person in Hollywood—--a writer, actor, director, etc.---I often stress the wisdom in taking the "long view" regarding one's career. In other words, to remember that the up's and down's will smooth out over the years, and that a consistent, long-term commitment to artistic growth and the development of craft is what provides the ultimate satisfaction. However, in another recent column, I also suggested that real creativity only occurs in the here-and-now.
I want to explore this seeming paradox, particularly in light of a therapy session I had recently with a screenwriter patient. She was about a third of the way through a new spec screenplay, one which represented a huge leap in terms of scope and content, and she was in the throes of powerful feelings of doubt and confusion. Would all the elements of plot, character and theme come together successfully? Did she have the talent, stamina and craft to keep at it, when the end was so many months away? What if the whole thing collapsed, half-finished, a painful and fruitless waste of months of work?

Obama Orders Federal Agencies to Set 2020 Emissions Goals
Federal agencies were given 90 days to set goals for reducing emissions by 2020. President Obama is letting each agency set its own target, and the military is immune from the mandate, reports the Associated Press.
Agencies have until June of 2010 to set targets for reducing emissions from employee travel and commutes.
Obama said this is an opportunity for government agencies to set the pace as Congress lags on adopting national emissions targets.
"As the largest consumer of energy in the U.S. economy, the federal government can and should lead by example when it comes to creating innovative ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," Obama said in a statement.
The federal government owns more than 500,000 buildings and operates more than 600,000 vehicles. It also purchases more than $500 billion a year in goods and services.
The Oct. 5 executive order expands upon a Bush-era mandate to cut petroleum and water use, and reduce waste.
Specifically, the executive order calls for the following:
- 30 percent reduction in vehicle fleet petroleum use by 2020;
- 26 percent improvement in water efficiency by 2020;
- 50 percent recycling and waste diversion by 2015;
- 95 percent of all applicable contracts will meet sustainability requirements;
- Implementation of a 2030 net-zero-energy building requirement;
- Implementation of the stormwater provisions of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, section 438; and
- Development of guidance for sustainable Federal building locations in alignment with the Livability Principles put forward by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Reader Comments
2020…really? Why not 2013? Why not 2010? A 10 year goal seems pretty slow to me, not sure about your thoughts. Delay tactics, let's not DO anything…let's set GOALS! Instead, why not provide the solution and envoke penalties for failing to meet annual objectives.

Philippe Karsenty gave the following statement regarding his victory (thanks to Brian of London):

From the original Reuters article:
The French public sector station has stood behind the correspondent and cameraman who made the report on Sept. 30, 2000.
France 2 may stand behind their reporters, but they refuse to release the full unedited tape that would either vindicate or condemn those reporters, and therefore the station itself. We are left to ponder why that might be. Hopefully France 2 will follow through on their threat to appeal this to the French Supreme Court (la Cour de cassation), and this case will get even more attention.
Israel, or at least an informal Israeli commission who were allowed to examine the publicly available evidence, has taken back their apology, and said that the evidence was the "Palestinian" gunfire killed Al-Dura, not Israeli. But we have seen no evidence that Al-Dura died, period. There is no blood, no wounds, no scenes of him being shot, on any of the video yet released. There is only the demonstrably false claims of the "Palestinian" French 2 "reporter", Talal Abu Rahma.

SANTA CLARA -- The hit that knocked 49ers tight end Vernon Davis out of Sunday's game with a concussion drew three penalty flags. But it did not draw a fine from the NFL office.
The NFL did not fine Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor, a league spokesman said. In essence, the NFL exonerated Chancellor of any wrongdoing. Chancellor was penalized for a personal foul on that play in which he broke up a pass intended for Davis in the first quarter.
In fact, 49ers right tackle Anthony Davis was the only player in the game to be fined. He was docked $10,000 for "unnecessary roughness for striking an opponent late," a league spokesman said.
Davis was penalized and fined for a personal foul against Seattle rookie cornerback Jeremy Lane late in the game. Davis, who outweighs the defender by more than 130 pounds, knocked Lane down and hit him again while he was still on the ground after a run play that went the other direction.
The league did not fine Seahawks players on two plays in which 49ers players were injured.
Three separate officials threw flags immediately after Chancellor's hit on Davis, who ran a wheel route down the right sideline. Davis had his hands on Colin Kaepernick's pass, but Chancellor's big hit dislodged the ball.
Referee Bill Vinovich announced the infraction as a "hit on a defenseless receiver." Chancellor's shoulder appeared to strike Davis' chest area, causing Davis' head to snap backward.
Davis sustained a concussion and did not return to action. He received clearance from an independent neurologist and 49ers team physician Dr. Dan Garza to return to physical activity.
He resumed non-contact practice on Thursday, and must perform contact simulation to gain final clearance to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals at Candlestick Park in the regular-season finale.
Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill was also not fined for his low hit on 49ers receiver Mario Manningham while teammate Jeremy Lane had Manningham wrapped up. Hill went in near knee level on Manningham, who sustained season-ending torn knee ligaments and fumbled on the play.

Erie men face trial in state office burglary, credit card theft
Two Erie men who police said confessed to breaking into a pair of state offices and stealing computers and other items in April are heading to trial in the case.

Winicki, 21, waived his scheduled preliminary hearing Thursday on charges of burglary, theft, receiving stolen property, criminal mischief and criminal conspiracy in the April 17 break-in at Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and Department of Labor and Industry offices at 448 W. 11th St.
Winicki also waived his preliminary hearing on charges of access device fraud and conspiracy in an incident in April in which police said he tried to use credit cards that were stolen from a woman's purse in a Gannon University building.
Winicki's alleged accomplice in both crimes, Dupree N. Odom, 20, was held for trial on the same charges in the burglary case, and on charges that include conspiracy, theft and trespass in the credit card case after hearings before Erie 3rd Ward District Judge Tom Carney on Thursday.
Winicki and Odom, both of the 200 block of West Ninth Street, remain in the Erie County Prison on $60,000 bond.
Police accuse Winicki and Odom of breaking into the West 11th Street office building through a window and stealing three laptop computers, a cell phone and other items while rummaging through the offices. Investigators said they linked the pair to the crime through a fingerprint on the window frame.

LFC_Armchair_Supporter LFC_Armchair_Supporter Aug 3, 2007 03:45 Flag
Have u ever considered that Heinze never was gonna be coming to LFC, it might've been mind games to ruffle Ferguson's feathers lol.. If so it's excellent timing and it wouldn't surprise me that Rafa has someone else in mind all along and never was gonna buy Heinze lol...
Very true - can't imagine him playing for us away at Old Trafford though!!
But then again Juve are open to letting Chiellini go - so aren't we better off going for him instead??
Then again there are a few rumours saying that we might go for Leighton Baines - dont know much about him to know if that is good or not??
- 1 Reply to B2a
Chiellini is a much better buy than Heinze, younger, faster and above all plenty of time to aclimatise to the EPL considering the fact that we have two spare left backs and one spare defender (excluding youth, reserves). He can also play centre half too.
Go for Chiellini now Rafa. Man City almost got him, now its our turn to tie him up to a lengthy contract.

It s time to spread the word! Driven by the resilience and stories of ordinary people. Continue the ongoing communication with government agencies to regulate corrupt businesses practices to protect all students university education .
Creating a better change for everyone in the world allowing them the freedom to have a voice in seeking justice. There are people working overseas to make sure South American countries like Brazil don't get scammed by for-profit colleges like DeVry. Our people are working to make sure they protect their vested interest of education rights by imposing strict regulations and guidelines on these uncontrolled, corrupt businesses like DeVry.
DeVry is well known for their Diploma Mills Degrees of Deception. Don't be fooled by their marketing tactics.Ask yourself why most of their schools enroll students from low income families who receive free scholarships and state grants, military and government aid. You wont find any elite alumni at DeVry. After having to comply with new education policies, DeVry share profits plunged 90 percent. Ask yourself this question---- Are you willing to risk your entire future and college education to dishonest for-profit businesses like DeVry who cannot guarantee their graduates any better than the minimum- wage service industry? Its your life. Think twice before enrolling at DeVry.
There are currently at least half a million students in the US enrolled in for-profit universities/institutions like DeVry. These students are all taking on substantial debt. Some studies & stastics project student loans amount to nearly a trillion dollars. This is more than the entire credit-card debt of the US. Over 90% of such debt is held by students enrolled in for-profit colleges like DeVry. This is another major economic disaster waiting to happen. DeVry and other for-profit institutions are stealing our steadfast university education from students while government without fail continues to hand them federal aid and grant money incl GI federal student aid. The student leaves with a worthless paper-mill degree & substantial loans they will never be able to repay. Ask yourself why DeVry caters mostly to high number of low-income, inner-city students. The answer you might realize is the Free Federal Aid DeVry receives without ever being accountable for the sub-standard university education they deliver. They have expanded into South America in areas like Brazil- low income inner city students who get education aid from their govt.

Currently (version 3.1.7) EBD will generate this html for the download form (approximately):

It would be really good to be able to specify other WPDM fields to put into the text. i.e. version numbers or tags.
WPDM has "Custom Output Formats", so a relatively simple way to achieve this would be allow the EBD short-code accept a format name|id such that it can look up the format, then there is probably a function defined in WPDM that will do the required formatting.
If I get some time I will try to implement this myself and send a patch.

bumex vs lasix
0 Does anyone know what the difference between bumex and lasix is?0Mar 5, '10 by RNforLongTime, BSNBumex and lasix are both loop-diuretics. I've seen patients with kidney failure that don't respond to lasix respond nicely to bumex. The kidney docs in my area seem to like bumex better. We run bumex gtts a lot.1Mar 5, '10 by iluvnoodles, BSNI thought diuretics are contraindicated in kidney insufficiency. In school, the teachers said, if your patients aren't peeing, than don't give them diuretics. In my research it kept on showing that it's used to treat kidney disease. So I guess I'm a bit confused...0Mar 5, '10 by netglowOP, there's a lot of reasons. I find that if I am needing an explanation, I can go back to my physiology stuff.

It was explained that Bumex was given when high doses of Furosemide were not working.0Mar 5, '10 by manncerLoop diuretics are given to decrease fluid overload with malfunctioning kidneys and to prevent hyperkalemia.

In school, the teachers said, if your patients aren't peeing, than don't give them diuretics. In my research it kept on showing that it's used to treat kidney disease. So I guess I'm a bit confused...
You aren't using diuretics to treat the kidney disease, you're using it to compensate for the renal insufficiency. Case in point, dealing with heart failure and renal insufficiency, the kidney's can't cause enough diuresis on their own, you give them diuretics to treat the heart failure. You need to get that fluid off in an acute flare-up and need to keep it off in chronic management. So you increase the renal sufficiency by adding the diuretic.
You need to look at the overall process you're dealing with. You're not going to just deal with one system here, you're dealing with the whole body. So you're going to monitor kidney function (in the example cited) to deal with the heart failure. The kidney's are only going to let you diurese to a point....then you run the risk of kidney failure. This is definitely an area where clinician skill comes into play. You know your patients, you know how far you can push things. Make sense?Last edit by highlandlass1592 on Mar 6, '10 : Reason: spelling

Medford officials say Robert Dudley is barking up the wrong tree in his efforts to open a doggy day care center near other businesses.
"It's discouraging," said 46-year-old Dudley, a Medford resident. "I've spent about five months looking into the feasibility of doing this, just waiting to get to this point of the city saying yes or no."
City planning officials recommend a day care center for dogs be treated like a kennel, which is required to have a 200-foot setback from other businesses — practically impossible in most commercial centers.
A dog kennel or a baby crying hit a decibel level of 110 — higher than a stereo at maximum volume but still less than a jet engine, according to a city study. From a distance of 200 feet, the decibel level drops to 64, about twice as noisy as light traffic.
The council will study the issue at a study session at noon, Thursday in the Medford Room of City Hall, 411 W. Eighth St.

Is there a way to balance wheels at home without a computer baalancer? I have seen at harbor freight kits designed for motorcycle tires, bubble balancers and the like. I have heard bubble balancers are not acurate.
Does anyone have any idea on "good" redneck ways to do this? I dont live near a shop. (Amish country).
I have also heard of people putting some sort of rubber toy pellets inside a tire. Supposedly as the tire spins these pellets locate themselves at the appropriate places centrifically to balance the tire. I assume this is similar to the liquid tire balancer you can purchase for large trucks.
I appreciate any advice.

-Does anyone have any idea on "good" redneck ways to do this? I dont live near a shop. (Amish country). -I appreciate any advice.
I balanced my truck tires to run smoothly without functioning shock absorbers with a home-made balance. It consisted of an aluminum disk with a step turned to a close fit in the wheel's center hole, and a tapped hole through the center. The balancing mechanism is an upright post of sharpened music wire mounted in a small ball bearing and a bolt that screws into the disk, with a conical recess in the threaded end that rests on the point of the post.
Its sensitivity depends on how high the point is above the tire's center of gravity. Turning in the bolt raises the tire until the balance is very delicate, a quarter ounce or less tilts the tire considerably. It could be set so sensitive that it didn't need a bubble. I compared the tire to the horizon.
On those wheels at least, if the heavy spots were high on one side and low on the other the tire would wobble when spun slowly even though it had been in static balance.
*If you don't see why, hang a wrench from a thread slightly off center so it hangs freely at an angle, then spin it and watch centrifugal force level it. The wrench ends simulate a tire that's heavy in different places on opposite sides.
You can decrease the effect of a too-heavy weight by using a pair of them, one on either side of the light spot. Their apparent weight decreases as you move them both further apart. When they are directly opposite each other they don't affect the balance at all.
Then I noticed that the shock mount had broken loose at the top where it was normally hidden.
The balancer is spinning on the desk beside me now, minus the tire. I've adjusted it to be slightly unstable, CG barely above the balance point, so it tips sideways just before it stops turning.
The problem with this design is rapid point wear. I had to resharpen the point for each tire.

Static friction would be much higher, though it wouldn't increase as fast. Right after sharpening it was sensitive to the weight of the valve cap.
The music wire point has degraded to a half-round ~0.015" in diameter and needs to be resharpened. I can't tell the shape of the recess. If the truck wheel wasn't so heavy I'd use a ball point pen tip.

It isn't a hand-tool project. I've been arranging the parts and thinking how to take a useful photograph but only a cross-section drawing that shows the suspension point relative to the center of gravity would really help. The important parts are hidden when it's assembled and anyway it's a custom fit to a certain old aluminum Ford wheel, and wouldn't work for rims with a different offset.
I learned how to do a redneck wheel alignment at the racetrack, but never saw then balance tires without a machine.

The question illustrates why the demographic trend is for the country to become more urbanized. Hicks who want to live far from civilization pay a price in lack of amenities and inferior services. Besides redneck wheel balancing, you probably also could methods for DIY hillbilly root canal and - of course! - colon cancer screening, but the results will be typically bad.
The services are only "inferior" if you haven't learned the alternatives. I have friends who lived for years without mains electricity or running water. I loaned them a generator but they didn't use it much. They were neat and well-dressed when they went out and if you met them you'd never know.

"Self-reliance" doesn't mean doing everything for yourself. There are gains from exchange, both among nations and among individuals.
Years ago, a colleague criticized me for not doing my own car repairs. To him, it was just unarguably a mark of virtue to fix his own car, and he regarded those who didn't as morally deficient - "sinners", in a way. I asked him, "Do you do your own dry cleaning, too?" He didn't have an answer.
My only point in my original reply in the thread is that if you're going to live in the sticks, you are forced to choose between doing a lot of things for yourself that others conveniently and relatively cheaply hire out to have done, or to travel long distances to get done. I think trying to figure out how to balance your own wheels is just absurd.
Five trips to two tire shops hadn't cured speed-dependent steering wheel shake.
BTW I learned to do my own spot-free drycleaning as a field sevice tech. Working in unfamiliar places with only carry-on luggage can be more difficult and uncertain than backpacking in the mountains. And in Flint MI, more hazardous.

If you read my post you'd see I had a broken upper shock absorber mount. It wasn't visible without sticking my head way into the wheelwell. Being disconnected it failed to absorb the minor vibration of slight imbalance as it should have and let the suspension resonate at around 30 and 60MPH.
Don't be so defensive. I haven't attacked your choice to buy services rather than learn skills. As a downtown apartment dweller I couldn't do much either.

I do an informal "make-or-buy" analysis for all kinds of service and repair tasks, much as any firm might do (a "make-or-buy" flag is a standard field on a parts master in any ERP computer package.) What I've found is that over time, and as manufactured goods become simultaneously (and somewhat paradoxically) both more complex and cheaper, the option to do it myself becomes less and less economically sensible. Either the the repair shouldn't be done at all - the total cost of it exceeds the cost of replacement - or it requires an ever-increasing amount of sophisticated tools and technical expertise.
This is not a new phenomenon, but the pace of it is accelerating. My grandfather, a fairly mechanically adept farmer in downstate Illinois when the Great Depression started, never did accommodate himself to the throwaway culture that had emerged and begun to take over by the time he died in 1969.
email@example.com says...
If it's speed dependent it probably isn't balance. More likely to be some slop in one of the linkages in the steering or suspension. Balance will give vibration at any speed, but more rapid at higher speed.
One local tire shop does a complimentary suspension diagnosis whenever you buy a set of tires. They dont' do repairs, they just do a diagnosis, and if they find an alignment problem or worn parts they give you a list of things that need fixing, which you can then take to a repair shop to get fixed.
On Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:03:57 -0400, "Jim Wilkins"
Brake drums and rotors have been known to be out of balance, too. Did either of those shops balance the front wheels -on- the vehicle? I'm guessing that the front suspension, tie rods, drag link, idler bushings, and wheel bearings were tested and were tight & proper.
Because of your fluids? (If not, what did I miss?)

The month of November has passed and the NBA season is still in its beginnings. We can start to see which teams are going to be in contention and in the lottery. We also, can see which rookies are living up to their draft position, and which were overlooked on the night of the draft. Here is a list of the best rookies in the Eastern and Western Conferences for the month of November.
Eastern Conference
Guard: Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls, First overall selection
This may or may not have been a surprise to a lot of people. There was a lot speculation that Rose should not have been the first pick, but has proven those doubters wrong. It is too early to project what type of career he is going to have, but barring injuries, he is playing like an all-star caliber player.
19 pts, four rebs, and six assts per game in November are very LeBron esque, and his 49% FG and 85% FT percentages are higher than LeBron has ever put up. We will see if he can keep this up.
Guard: D.J. Augustin, Charlotte Bobcats, Ninth overall selection
Augustin was my favorite player in college hoops last year because of his pure speed and play making abilities. He was able to dominate against lesser competition at Texas, and it seems like he is having a nice transition to the pro game.
To be honest I thought he was going to struggle against the better talent in the NBA, but he proved me wrong. Starting in just a quarter of his teams games, Augustin has averaged 13 pts and 4.5 assts per game in November are very impressive numbers. If he keeps this up, we may be comparing him and Rose to Deron Williams and Chris Paul in a couple of years; or not.
Forward: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Milwaukee Bucks, 37th overall selection
The only non-top ten pick on the list, making him also the only second rounder as well. As I mentioned in my Rookie Watch List, Mbah a Moute is playing like a man possessed. I love the energy and passion this guy plays with. Mbah a Moute is leading all Eastern Conference Rookies in rebounding in November with 7.6 per game, which is even more impressive when you know it comes from a guy who is only 6'8".
Forward: Michael Beasley, Miami Heat, Second overall selection
While Beasley has not been as dominant as he was at Kansas State last year, he is still good enough to make this list. Beasley has put up 15 pts and five rebs in the month of November, which are nice numbers for a rookie, but Beasley has way more talent than those numbers show. We will have to see if he can adjust to the pro game better in the upcoming months.
Center: Brook Lopez, New Jersey Nets, 10th overall selection
10 pts, seven rebs, and 1.5 blocks for November will get you on this list, but if JaVale McGee continues to progress like he has, you will be seeing him in this spot for the month of December. McGee is starting to get some serious minutes, and when I watched him play last night, he looked very comfortable in the Wizards system.
I don't know if I can say the same about Lopez, but if progresses positively in the next couple months he may solidify his spot as the best rookie center in the east.
Honorable Mention: JaVale McGee, Mario Chalmers
Western Conference
Guard: OJ Mayo, Memphis Grizzlies, Third overall selection
It seemed like OJ Mayo struggled a little bit at USC last year, but that was all for nothing. Mayo has been the most impressive rookie thus far into the NBA season. He has dropped 23 pts, 4.5 reb, two asst, one steal, and a game in the month of November. Those were the exact numbers that were expected out of him when he was a high school phenom, and with that whole college experience behind him, he can now flourish.
Guard: Rudy Fernandez, Portland Trailblazers, 24th overall (2007)
Oh Rudy, where have you been my whole life? Well, I suppose I can change that to where have you been since Steve Kerr retired? Fernandez is an assassin from behind the three pt line, and his 97 percentage from the FT line in November shows that he is the real deal shooting. Who needs defense when you have a perfect stroke like Rudy?
Guard: Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder, Fourth Overall
Westbrook is only added to this list because he is way better than any forward that the Western conference has to offer. Westbrook put up the most assists and third most points per game in the month of November when compared to other West rookies. Plus, he is doing this all on one of the worst teams in the league, and maybe league history.
Forward: Jason Thompson, Sacramento Kings, 12th overall
The best rookie forward in November in the West by a decent margin. The next guy is Kevin Love, and I just can't make myself put Love on this list over a guy like Thompson, Westbrook, or even Anthony Morrow. Thompson has played well in November putting up 10 pts and six reb per game, which are not dominant, but still, somehow, better than any other rookie forward in the West.
Center: Marc Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies, 48th overall selection (2007 draft)
Gasol straight up has outplayed Greg Oden to get this spot as the best rookie center in the Western conference. Oden has put up .5 more reb, and one more block per game in November, but he has less points and is shooting lower percentages from the stripe and field. Gasol has just out preformed Oden, but I suspect once Oden gets his sea legs under him he should be fine.
Honorable Mention: Anthony Morrow, George Hill, Kevin Love, Greg Oden
Overall, in a match-up between the two starting lineups, I would probably go with the East, but the West has a little more depth after the top five, which means in a best of seven series I would maybe give an edge to the West.
Just remember that it's barely the start of December, and everything can change in a month's time.
