NeuroVive Pharmaceutical and to-BBB have each received about €500,000 from Europe's Eureka Eurostars™ initiative to further support ongoing joint development of a treatment for stroke and other acute neurological conditions. The companies have been working together since October 2010 to combine NeuroVive's cyclosporin A candidate with to-BBB's G-technology® platform for delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier.
Swedish firm NeuroVive Pharma is focused developing cyclosporine-based mitochondrial-protecting candidates for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries, reperfusion injury in myocardial infarction, stroke, and other acute injuries. The firm's pipeline is headed by cyclophilin-D-inhibiting cyclosporin-based drugs that protect nerve and heart cells following tramautic brain injury.
The Phase III development-stage candidate NeuroSTAT® is a lipid emulsion formulation of cyclosporin-A designed to strengthen mitochondrial membranes by inhibiting cyclophilin-D. CicloMulsion® is the cardioprotective version of NeuroSTAT, which is in Phase III development to protect against repurfusion injury in myocardial infarction.
Earlier this month NeuroVive and U.K. CRO Selcia inked a research collaboration agreement to develop new drugs specifically targeting mitochondrial physiology and pathophysiology for indications that could potentially span stroke, heart attack, obesity, and cancer.
To-BBB's core G-Technology is based on the development of liposomes coated with glutathione-conjugated PEG for delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier. The firm says it has generated proof-of-concept data in animals demonstrating that the encapsulation technology can deliver peptides and small molecules for the treatment of brain cancer, pain, and viral encephalitis. Lead in-house candidate 2B3-101 comprises glutathione pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride for the treatment of brain cancers. In June the firm received regulatory go-ahead in the Netherlands to start a Phase I/IIa clinical trial evaluating 2B3-101 in 40 patients with brain metastases.

Rule loops in OPA rules
By Matthew Bickham-Oracle on Jul 25, 2014
Rob Bradford | OPA Rules Consultant (Europe)
As any experienced rule author will know, OPA automatically runs through a series of logic checks each time a policy model is built. One of these checks is for self-referential rules, or to put it another way rules that are proven by themselves – the logical loop check. In rare situations, usually when writing complex rules involving time based reasoning or multiple entity instances, it may be necessary to implement a controlled logic looping situation.
First introduced in OPA version 10.2, rule loops allow you to overcome the problem of rules which loop back to different instances in the same entity by defining a rule as an allowable loop, allowing the rules to validate past the logical loop check.
Loops using entity instances
The following fictitious example shows an example of a 'valid' rules loop using different entity instances. The source material states:"a person can be a UK passport holder if they meet the qualifying criteria, or if any of their parents are eligible for a UK passport."
The rules highlighted in the red boxes below cause a logical loop upon build, however in this case the logic is correct.
To implement a rule loop in OPM, first highlight the rule. Then use the Rule Properties Editor (ALT + P) in the Word toolbar, and tick the Rule Loop checkbox:
The policy model now passes validation, and is logically sound. In the following interview, Tom has been identified as Sarah's parent. Tom has been in the UK for 30 years with no criminal record, therefore qualifies. Even though Sarah does not qualify on her own accord due to the length of time spent in the UK, the fact that she has a qualifying parent means she also qualifies.
The decision report within Oracle Web Determinations shows that Sarah qualifies on the basis of her parent, Tom:
You may have realised that the way these rules have been written, even if Tom was not suitable, he may himself have a parent who qualifies - which would make Tom, and therefore Sarah eligible. Following this sequence through, it would mean anyone with a qualifying ancestor would automatically be eligible themselves.
In this example we can assume this is the intended behaviour - but it is essential to consider where the loop could, and should end. This is sometimes referred to as identifying the exit condition.
Loops using temporal reasoning
Loops can also relate to an attribute's value at different points in time, rather than different entity instances. Consider the following logic:
"An applicant will be treated as qualifying for the benefit continuously if they have been out of the country for less than 7 days, and at the time they left the country, they qualified for the benefit"
Again, we are looking at a different instance (this time on the temporal timeline) of the attribute, but OPA will identify 'the applicant qualifies for the benefit' as a loop. Specifying the attribute as a rule loop, using the method shown above can allow the rules author to overcome this.
Consider the following worked example:
- John's benefit period runs from 1 Jan to 31 Jan 2014 (all dates inclusive). He satisfied the income criteria to qualify for the benefit throughout the month, apart from one period between 18 Jan and 20 Jan, where his income was too high.
- John was out of the country from 6 Jan to 16 Jan - a total of 11 days. As he continued to meet the income criteria, and qualified for the benefit the day before he left, he was entitled continuously for the first 7 days of his absence.
- On 13 Jan, John had been out the country for more than 7 days, so became ineligible.
- When John returned to the country on 16 Jan, he became eligible again - until 18 Jan when he did not satisfy the income criteria.
- On 19 Jan, John left the country again until 23 Jan. Although the absence was less than 7 days, and he met the income criteria from 20 Jan, he was ineligible throughout the entire absence because he was not eligible the day before he left.
- When he returned to the UK on 23 Jan, he became eligible again. In total, he was eligible for the benefit for 23 days out of the 31 day period.
Final points
- Careful consideration should be given before implementing rule loops, as incorrect use can result in rules that can never be proven. If you are not sure, ask an OCS consultant.
- The logical loop check is there for a reason! You should only use this feature if you are sure there is an exit condition. If the loop is not controlled, then the OPA rules engine will keep going around and around until it eventually stops with an error.
- It is very important that the rules are tested thoroughly to avoid any unexpected behaviour.
- If the loop encompasses multiple rules, each individual rule must be configured separately.

President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats have done what Republicans only dream about. They've beaten the Democratic Party's "brand" to a pulp.
Everywhere we look, there's trouble and Democrats in the bushes.
The national debt staggers the imagination. Thank you, Democrats. The economy is on life-support. Thank you, Democrats. The administration's foreign policy is schizophrenic. Thank you, Democrats.
And then we have the scandals. Diplomats murdered in Benghazi. The Internal Revenue Service politicized. The National Security Agency spying on everybody. The press muzzled by threats from the Justice Department. Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you, Democrats.
The most recent Democratic offense is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It threatens the health and well-being of all Americans, including Democrats.
Come and relish the irony. Many who rushed to sign up for Obamacare and got caught in the mess are Democratic voters who supported the program and the president. Little wonder, then, that Democratic officeholders are now back-peddling and scrambling to defend the indefensible. Their hides are on the line.
But hold on. Up ahead is Hillary Clinton and 2016. Obama has told us that she does "extraordinary" things, so maybe she can move into the White House and restore confidence in the Democratic Party.
Camille Paglia, a Democrat and intellectual who calls 'em like she sees 'em, has her doubts.
"It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton is our party's best chance. She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train.
"And what exactly has she ever accomplished - beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband? She's certainly busy, busy and ever on the move - with the tunnel-vision workaholism of someone trying to blot out uncomfortable private thoughts.
"I for one think it was a very big deal that our ambassador was murdered in Benghazi. In saying 'I take responsibility' for it as secretary of state, Hillary should have resigned immediately."
Jeffrey T. Brown, an attorney and political observer writing for the American Thinker, stirs the pot.
"For as long as Hillary Clinton has been on the national scene, she has left a path of destruction and wreckage in her wake that is both impressive and terrible to behold. She is a testament to the extent of damage that can be done by one person determined to conquer everything before her in the quest for unlimited power and self-gratification."
So why would Democrats push Hillary for president? Because she and her supporters (including philandering husband) have painted the party into a corner, that's why.
Just for chuckles, let's say Democrats turn their back on Hillary and run with somebody else - maybe Vice President Joe "Opps" Biden, or maybe Rahm Emanuel, a political heavyweight and mayor of the Murder Capital of the Nation. Hizzoner isn't particularly well-liked in Chicago, so he could be looking for work in 2016.
Fast-forward to Nov. 1, 2016. It's Somebody-Other-Than-Hillary versus a GOP nominee who presumably can walk while chewing gum. The outcome: The Republican wins.
Why? Simple. Many liberals stayed home. They believed with all their hearts that 2016 would be the year of the woman (Hillary), and when they were snubbed by the party, they snubbed back.
Putting Hillary at the top of the ticket wouldn't be much better, either.
Fast-forward to Nov. 1, 2016. Hillary and her supporters (including philandering husband) are abubble with confidence, and the mainstream media tell us she's a shoo-in for the presidency. But she loses.
Why? Simple. Many liberals, especially liberal men, stayed home. They knew Hillary is profoundly unqualified, ethically challenged, and stunningly abrasive, and they just couldn't hold their noses long enough or tight enough to vote for her.
So Hillary Clinton is not the future of the Democratic Party, and the only way the party will survive 2014 and 2016 is if establishment Republicans continue savaging their conservative brethren and jumping every time a liberal shouts "Boo!"

ROCHESTER – An all-star cast graduated from last year's Orchard Park state championship football team, and its wide receiver is playing quarterback this year.
But the Quakers are still big, still strong, still smart and they're going back to the Dome.
Senior Mitch Wilson scored four touchdowns during a 178-yard evening and the Quaker defense came up big time and time again as OP beat Christian Brothers Academy of Syracuse, 26-14, Saturday to earn a second straight trip to the Class AA state championship game.
"The entire year, every single practice, Coach [Gene] Tundo says if we want to win states, we've got to do this, we've got to do that," said Wilson. "He says, 'You've got to practice hard if you want to go to states. We can do it, I know we can.' "
Orchard Park will defend its Class AA championship at Syracuse University's Carrier Dome at 6 p.m. next Saturday. It will be the third trip in program history for OP, which also won a state title in 2008. The Quakers (10-1) will face New Rochelle (10-1) of Section I (Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties) in the final.
New Rochelle defeated Shaker, 28-21, in Saturday night's East Semifinal in Kingston. Shaker, the champion of Section II (Albany area), entered the game as the top-ranked team in the state Class AA poll.
"It's an amazing feeling," said Tundo, who's in his 19th season coaching. "Our kids played awesome. They played their hearts out the whole game. … This accomplishment might be one of the best by any team I've ever coached in 30 years. I've coached a lot of teams. To get back to this point is incredible. I'm amazed by what they've done."
Last year's OP team graduated five All-Western New York first-teamers after a 13-0 season. Ben Holmes moved from receiver to quarterback, and the 5-foot-11, 175-pound senior showed off his elusive scrambling moves throughout the game.
Holmes ran for 175 yards on 13 carries in a game Orchard Park kept control of due to its running game and its defense. Holmes only threw four times (completing two for 14 yards with one interception) as OP ran for 407 yards to CBA's 17. The 5-9, 180-pound Wilson did his damage on 27 carries, and several times his short touchdown runs were set up by long runs by Holmes.
"All of that, it's all because of the line," Wilson said of OP's ground game. "I don't think Ben or I could have ran as far as we did if they didn't make the huge holes. All the credit goes to them."
CBA, which passed for 274 of its 291 yards, displayed its quick-strike ability with 1:37 left in the third quarter when junior J.J. Zazzara hit junior Deshawn Salter behind the defense in what became a 75-yard scoring play that drew the Brothers to within 20-14.
CBA appeared to be back in the game when a fumbled OP snap gave the Brothers the ball at the OP 36 in the final minute of the third quarter. However, Austin Goltz got the ball back for the Quakers with an interception on the very next play.
After the teams exchanged punts, OP went 65 yards in five plays to make it 26-14 with 7:29 left. Wilson had a 29-yard run during the drive, which he finished off with a 14-yarder to the left side in which he dove to break the plane at the goal line.
"We were making dumb mistakes [on offense]," said Wilson. "Ben and I talked to each other, we said we need to score, we need to do it right now. Our defense was making great plays, they gave us momentum and eventually we just drove it in."
The defense, as it did for much of the evening, kept CBA from making it a game when senior Connor Eddy (seven tackles) intercepted a pass into the end zone with 2:45 left on fourth-and-goal play. Senior Jett Modkins also had an interception and five tackles.
"They've been scoring 40 points a game. To do what we did says a lot about our defense," Tundo said.

His methods of doing so are very questionable and I disagree with them but this documentary is redeemed in the end because Vikram tells his followers the truth. Vikram dresses up as an Indian Guru and cultivates a cult following. He does not reveal to his followers that he is a fake until after he leaves town. In the end both Vikram and his followers learn that happiness comes from within. The library has one copy of this on dvd.

The articles were written by Abdallah Aal Malhi. The December 8 piece was entitled "Israel, the Governess of Terrorism, Rewards Terrorists by Appointing Them to Top Posts in the Jewish State." The article published on December 9, was entitled "The Jewish Organizations are Implementing Their Strategic Hellish Plan to Take Over The World."
Excerpts from the articles follow:
"It is carried out by the principle of 'divide and rule.' The Jewish zealots fear, and fight any racial non-Jewish coalition. In the Western countries, the Jews fight all the organizations attempting to safeguard European interests and tradition. In the non-European countries, the Jews constantly act to fracture and weaken the coalitions and the homogeneity of the main racial groups."
"In America, for example, the Jews did not act merely to weaken the homogeneity and the coalition of European-Americans, but also fought other coalitions, such as the black national movement, the Nation of Islam, and other movements. All these African-American organizations wanted was to preserve the traditions that they had lost in the multicultural society - but the Jews, due to their well-known sense of superiority, did not want anyone besides themselves to preserve their traditions and collective interests. Therefore, they always try to make other societies feel guilty, even about their pride in their culture. They present this interest and sense of pride in the culture of those non-Jewish organizations as a racist tendency."
"The Jews also act to weaken loyalties and other coalitions by using an expression that has been made familiar by the Jewish media to describe these organizations: anti-Semitism. This charge serves two goals. First, it reinforces the [Jewish] connections across the world, thus obtaining support for the State of Israel. Second, this expression incites anyone not Jewish to collective hatred of the Jews, thus preventing the Jews from assimilating into other peoples."
"Let us take an example of the hypocrisy of the zealous Jews [regarding] intermarriage between the Jewish race and other races. During President George W. Bush's election campaign, Bush found himself subject to great media criticism because he gave a lecture at the Bob Jones [University], which is opposed to the principle of intermarriage. The contradiction is that every Jewish synagogue in America and every leading Jewish organization in America fights Jewish intermarriage. What is strange is that the media has never addressed this well-known fact, and never mentioned this duplicity at all - in a society that one assumes enjoys freedom of speech such as American society."
"When we realize that the American media is controlled by the Jews, we are no longer surprised. Presenting this obvious fact does not suit Jewish interests, and damages the Jews' relations and interests with the American people. For this reason, it is concealed, as are the daily Jewish crimes against the Palestinians."
"On the other hand, we now find books and films, most of them written and produced by zealous Jewish hands, condemning any racial movement that is not Jewish. At the same time, only a very few books have dared to write against Jewish racism. Since the big publishing houses are at the mercy of the Jews, only a few of these are published - and if they are published, their distribution is extremely small... If these Jewish zealots were credible, they should have written about the Jewish racism they know so well."
"After discussing the global Jewish agenda and the well-known Jewish policy of divide and rule, let us conclude this limited study about Jewish racism and their sense of superiority with another tactic of the Jews, one no less important than what we have already mentioned. This is the policy of silencing those opposed to and critical of the Jews and their racism."
"The arrogance and tyranny of the Jews, who manage to hide it from the Western public, has reached such proportions that anyone who talks about them, their hegemony, and their racism knows that he will pay a high price. In America, for example, anyone who dares to talk about this in public has his good name smeared in the media, and declares bankruptcy if he works in commerce. If he is an official, he loses his job. When anyone dares to state a fact that does not please the Jews or does not suit their interests, the Jews' methods of silencing him range from threats to physical harm, in addition to damaging his capital and transferring him to the rolls of the unemployed if he is an official or a businessman. If he is a politician, he is completely done for, and is flung aside. This task is being carried out by the Jewish media, the Jewish lobby, and the Jewish defense team, which always accuses its adversaries of intolerance towards other ethnic, religious, and racial groups."
"If only it would end with accusations against their [the Jews'] critics. But the situation is worse than that. The Jewish zealots, with their great monetary, media, and political influence, can have them imprisoned. The Jewish zealots have already managed to jail many of their critics in many European countries - perhaps because they are incapable, at the moment, of assassinating anyone who criticizes them and exposes their racism in the countries of the West. But they are capable of silencing him in other ways. Anyone who desires to present the words of the racist Jewish leaders as testimony finds himself in prison - this is due to their influence. The Jews do not leave out any charge they can fabricate so as to leave anyone who has dared to speak the truth behind prison bars for many long years."
"What we say is happening [in reality] is hundreds of those who deviated from the outline laid out by the Jews, and who dared to go beyond the red lines drawn for them, find themselves behind bars. These red lines are none other than saying and exposing the truth - something in which the Jews are not interested. [In the prisons] there are hundreds of people who spoke of the Holocaust and exposed the truth about falsified Jewish propaganda."
"In conclusion, the reader is likely to wonder about the extent of the Jews' control... So as to prove our words, we will not address Jewish control of the media in Western countries, primarily in the U.S.... but we will give an example of the Jews' infiltration and control of the top positions in the American administration. This control aroused astonishment in the days of the Clinton administration... Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, FBI chief George Tenet, Defense Secretary William Cohen, Clinton's national security advisor Sandy Berger - all Jews. Through this infiltration of the various American administrations, and through controlling the media and money, the Jews impose their agenda on the other peoples, and the Jewish sense of superiority, whose aim is to recruit the peoples and their resources for the good of Jewish interests and their racist state Israel, remain unchanged."

It's wrong to reward officers for arrests
Is the arrest bounty back? Recently, in a front-page story in The Buffalo News, it was reported that the U.S. Border Patrol has a little-known program that rewards officers with "incentives and rewards" for arrests, including cash and gift cards. This policy "casts doubt over the fairness of each arrest," stated Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. I support wholeheartedly a strong policing policy of our borders, but was surprised and disappointed to hear of this policy and believe it is wrong.
Believe it or not, Western New York had a similar policy in force many years ago. Jack London, arguably America's greatest author, was arrested for vagrancy while visiting Niagara Falls in June of 1894. This arrest resulted in his incarceration in the Erie County Penitentiary for 30 days. The officer who collared London profited with a monetary bounty bonus for the arrest. Apparently the officer who arrested him was working on commission. Perhaps the arrest bounty is making a 21st century comeback of sorts.

We have been talking a lot lately about gear. I did a couple podcasts on gear and have received lots of great feedback and comments on what is peoples backpacks and what they prefer to use when out on the trail. Yesterday I took some time and listened to my good buddy Shawn's latest podcast. He talked about "gearing up" his new Troop. He suggested a few things that him and I have talked about at length regarding outfitting a Scout Troop in the "Backpacking style". I am finding that many more Troops are going to this style of camping… weather they actually hit the trail or not.. the "Backpacking style" or "light weight" camping offers many more options for both the Scouts and leaders of a Troop. Without sacrificing any comfort, nutrition, or skills. The lighter weight style requires the Scouts to have a few more skills and requires the leaders to do a lot more teaching up front. But once routines are established camping is more enjoyable for the Scouts and the leaders.
Backpacking gear
One thought on "Backpacking gear"
I was surprised when we joined our Troop at how much influence the Troop Trailer has on everything we do. Makes life easy, but it also makes it easy to be lazy.That said…We live a long way from traditional hiking trails and few of our Scouts own packs. And when I went to look for a backpack for my Scout, it was no easy task to find something he could grow into for less than $200. that's alot of popcorn!I hope to get there eventually, but we need to invest in boots and good rain gear first.-johnS

Mosquitoes that have tested positive for West Nile Virus have been found north of Genoa in Carson Valley, according to the Douglas County Mosquito Abatement District.
"We are taking action tonight with a ground adulticiding attack followed by an aerial adulticiding application," District Manager Krista Jenkins said Wednesday. "We strongly advise people to wear long sleeve shirts and pants in the early morning and evening hours and to use an insect repellent with Deet. We will continue to monitor the area. Trapping for mosquitoes will occur after the adulticide applications and sent into the state for testing."
The sample was the first to test positive for West Nile Virus in Northern Nevada this year, according to the Nevada Department of Agriculture's Animal Disease and Food Safety Laboratory.
Clark County has already reported human cases of West Nile Virus.
More than 700 samples from statewide surveillance have been submitted to the laboratory at the Department's Sparks office since May.
"All horse owners should update their animal's West Nile Virus vaccination," said Dr. Annette Rink, acting state veterinarian and supervisor of the Animal Disease and Food Safety Laboratory.
Four effective vaccines exist for horses, but vaccine development for humans is still under way with currently no available product in sight. The potentially serious disease first appeared in Nevada in 2004, affecting people horses and relatives of the magpie. It flares up in summer and continues into the fall. Residents are asked to drain standing water to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.

Berkeley County officials announced Thursday that Steven Cotter will head up the countys EMS operations.
The appointment comes on the heels of a two-month search for a new department director. Cotters expected start date is July 21.
Emergency Medical Services Director Bob Mixter served in the position for 10 years, and submitted his resignation effective immediately March 18.
Cotter is the former head of Emergency Medical Services at Piedmont Hospital in Rock Hill. He has also directed EMS operations for Sedgwick County, Kansas, and Laurens County, and was a shift commander in Greenville County.
In his previous position, he redesigned deployment processes to help increase coverage and reduce response times. Although we have one of the best EMS programs in the state, we are excited about the ideas he will bring to help the department run more efficiently and provide expanded services to our citizens, county Supervisor Dan Davis said.
The county released these highlights of Cotters performance outcomes:
Reducing labor operating costs by redesigning the departments ambulance scheduling processes.
Redesigning the ambulance deployment process resulting in:
- an aggregate increase in ambulance coverage capability from 79 to 95 percent of peak call demand
- a reduction in the amount of deployed ambulance unit hours by 3370 hours resulting in a $236,000 decrease in ambulance deployment costs
- and, a reduction in county wide average response times of two minutes and 14 seconds (2012).
Reducing annual employee turnover rates from 38 percent in 2010 to 8 percent in 2013.
Reducing work related injuries by 52 percent through 2012.
Increasing return of circulation for cardiac arrest patients from 9 to 33 percent and survival to discharge from 2 to 14 percent (2012).
Under Cotters leadership, the Emergency Medical Services department at Piedmont Medical Center was named a 2014 Nicholas Rosecrans award recipient by JEMS Magazine, which recognized their Safe Kids program designed to reduce injuries in children. In Spring 2013, Piedmont Medical Center named Cotter, Leader of the Quarter.

TUNIS, 28 November 2012 – Some 700 participants, including Government delegations and representatives of international organizations and the private sector, are attending an international conference on productive work for youth in Tunisia and the rest of the Middle East and North Africa region.
The two-day event, which opened in Tunis today, is organized by the European Union and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). It will help develop and expand enterprises within Tunisia's labour-intensive sectors, while focusing on young university graduates with an entrepreneurial spirit from less-developed regions of the country.
Conference participants will also formulate recommendations for the leaders of Tunisia and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa region concerning the implementation of reforms that could boost productive and sustainable employment.
"Since 2009, UNIDO has been actively involved in the area of enterprise creation and development in Tunisia and the MENA region, and lately has intensified its efforts to support the recent national democratic process by mobilizing more funding for technical cooperation directed to stimulate private sector growth, competitiveness and job creation," said Director-General Yumkella.
"Countries in the region seek development based on shared prosperity and equitable participation in society. I firmly believe that productive employment must be a cornerstone of such a vision."
The event is attended by, among others, Hamadi Jebali, the Prime Minister of Tunisia; Antonio Tajani, Vice-President of the European Commission; and Kandeh K. Yumkella, Director-General of UNIDO.
In addition to the plenary sessions, the conference will include over 20 parallel events for young entrepreneurs, including interactive workshops organized by partner institutions of the conference. Young entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to receive training, and interact with members of Parliament and potential investors.
To give young people a voice and facilitate online discussions on the challenges and best solutions for youth employment, an interactive web platform has been set up (www.dep.tn and www.dep-youth.org).
The event is part of the Business and Technology Convention organized by Tunisia's Agency for the Promotion of Industry and Innovation (APII).

quote GiveUpDoesn't hurt to try.. right?It will not change anything so give up already.
quote TomBLuckily, since I created the petition, I can delete fake and duplicate signaturesI also think it should be sent when we hit 1.000 entries (we are getting close to 800 atm) and we shouldn't wait till we have 2.000 because this will most likely never happen seeing the slow increase of numbers. I also stopped entering fake entries because as soon as I posted about it here asking for others to do the same, board hyprocits had nothing better to do than to post it numerous times on the signature list that the petition is a fake because you can sign several times. Very well done, whoever you are. I hope you feel good having called out Justice lol and I am sure you never do the slightest cheating in your own Life.

Give credit to the Republicans who have had the courage to embarrass their party and lose recent elections by sticking to the true pro-life position.
Losing candidates like Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock and others have made clear that it is not OK to terminate pregnancies, even in the cases of rape or incest. Their position is based on the belief that life begins with a fertilized egg that must be allowed to develop into a baby. If this is a fact with no gray areas, there should be no exceptions. The circumstances under which that egg was fertilized should be irrelevant.
Making exceptions devalues the humanity of that fertilized egg and makes offensive moral judgments about the woman: (Was she "legitimately" raped? Did she say "no" firmly enough? Did she really have sex with her father or is she lying?) Those who are open to "exceptions" of any kind are saying some babies are worth saving, and others are not, based on political expediency. That, from my perspective, is evil.
As Victoria Toensing mentions in a recent column ("Pro-choice Republicans have a place in the party," Washington Post, 11/29/2012), More than a few "pro-life" Republicans admit they take this political tactic, and some pro-lifers develop quite different positions when the situation applies to themselves, or their sisters, daughters or girlfriends. When pro-life people remain so even-faced with an election loss, or worse, a devastating situation in their own families, I admire them their devotion to hardfast principle, while disagreeing that this is an issue for anyone but those involved in and most affected by the situation.
I hate abortion. I also hate the idea of government (or any bureaucratic institution) dictating reproductive decisions for individuals. Legal or not, abortion has always been (and will always be) the desperate solution for women in a desperate situation. Will it remain safe and legal? Who's responsible to pay for it? Does anyone but the woman have an interest in if and at what point in the pregnancy, she can make this decision? How can we lower the incidence of abortion without government interference in private decisions? These are the only questions that should concern us.
Regardless of political party, the majority in this country recognize it is a complex issue that varies from case to case. They recognize that nations should not dictate these decisions: if a government can tell you that you can't have an abortion, a government can tell you that you must have an abortion. We don't want to live under China's one-child policy, nor do we want to be told that our birthrate is so low young women had better start having more babies and lots of them ("U.S. birthrate plummets to lowest level since 1920," Washington Post 11/29/2012).
I fear that in some post-apocalyptic, dystopian future, such things could become matters of national interest and security, but in this point in time, conservatives and liberals alike could look at this issue from the perspective of our historical tradition to value freedom for sentient individuals to create their own destinies.

Capital projects proposals to be reviewed
April 4, 2013
The city administration has proposed financing that would pay for $15 million in city building projects, but City Council's leadership is making clear all proposed projects will be reviewed......
The Hall guy is right. The devils in the details, and lumping things together makes it easier for teh little guy to hide.
What the heck does "close to what we're paying now" mean? How hard is it to tell what the new loan payment would be afer refinance? There are mortgage calculators on Google.

"[Paparazzi] don't follow me around," the SNL star, 34, told George Lopez on his TBS show Lopez Tonight Tuesday. "[But] they sometimes follow around the girl that I'm dating."
For whatever reason, Sudeikis has managed to appear beside Jones in several photos recently, prompting speculation about their relationship.
So, are they dating?
"I don't want to get into it," Sudeikis said upon being asked by Lopez if he had "seen [Jones] naked and everything."
"I'm kidding," he quickly added. "I do want to get into it! I do, and I have!"
Sudeikis, who costars in the new movie Going the Distance with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long, recently got divorced from his wife of six years, 30 Rock writer Kay Cannon. He was also briefly linked to Jennifer Aniston earlier this summer.
Jones, 32, who hosted SNL last November, has been previously linked to Entourage Emmy winner Jeremy Piven and The Pianist Oscar winner Adrien Brody.

ROCKFORD — License and registration, please. Are you in possession of a firearm?
That's how traffic stops soon could sound as police officers around the state encounter something new as they patrol Illinois cities and counties: Legally armed residents.
Now that concealed carry is legal in Illinois, officers must learn a new way to interact safely with armed subjects, said Deputy Director Larry Smith of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, headquartered in Springfield.
"We're training recruits and in-service officers through our mobile training units and at all six of our academies," Smith said.
The two- to four-hour training session includes a review of the Concealed Carry Act and incorporates the use of DVDs that depict officers in various scenarios interacting with a potentially armed person, such as a motorist during a traffic stop.
Winnebago County Sheriff Dick Meyers said all but a handful of the department's 125 deputies had completed the training session.
"We're trying to teach them how to interact without letting their guard down," Meyers said.
Deputies in recent weeks have learned how to keep themselves safe without infringing on a licensed gun owner's right to carry a firearm.
"If you have a weapon on you and you are carrying a concealed carry license and we stop you, you are not required under the statute to say, 'I have a CCL, and I'm carrying a weapon,'" Meyers said. "But you are required if an officer asks, 'Do you have a CCL and are you carrying?' Then they are required to answer truthfully.
"So one of the things we teach our people under the new law is always remember, you are going to have to ask. And that shouldn't be a problem knowing we have the right to ask, and people have an obligation under the statute to be truthful."
Before an officer even approaches your driver's side window, Meyers said, the officer will have run your vehicle's license plate number through a law enforcement database to learn to whom the vehicle is registered, whether the registered owner's license is valid and whether the owner has a concealed carry license.
The sheriff said motorists should not be alarmed if an officer tells you to keep your hands visible and on top of the steering wheel during the stop.
Rockford Police Lt. Pat Hoey and Loves Park Police Chief Rodney Scott said their departments still are crafting policies and procedures regarding the concealed carry law, and officers have yet to receive training.

Here's what it looks like on mine:
My son (and technical contact) has also blacked out his half-dozen sites.
All of the Free Software Foundation sites (eg. fsf.org, gnu.org, etc.) are also blacked out, as is one of my son's favorite niche news sites, osnews.com.
Not a very big site, but my personal site at www.paulscott.za.net
I blacked it out this morning and received around 50 emails from concerned readers about what my ISP had done. I had to explain to them that it was regarding PIPA/SOPA and eventually changed the blackout page to reflect that. In some ways, it was too effective!

Craigslist has a splash page too. Here's what I wrote to my reps via Wikipedia's convenient links to their contact pages:
Please reject PIPA (Senate 968) & SOPA (HR 3261). This poorly written legislation can severely cripple one of America's most innovative and profitable industries. Funding for new development will promptly dry up, courts will be overwhelmed, and even my dear old parents' simple needs will be constrained.
The intended benefits to our entertainment industry are a mirage. Intellectual property piracy will still flourish internationally, and domestic access will not be dramatically reduced for even the moderately skilled internet user.
Since sixth grade at Pinehurst Middle School in 1982, I have been blessed with our state's best education, including access to computer and internet technology. I have both contributed to and benefited from this particularly American innovation and entrepreneurship.
Please don't put up roadblocks to my livelihood in North Carolina. Refuse to support SOPA and PIPA as they currently stand. This legislation needs to be severely reworked if it's to achieve any positive result without severe consequences.

text: TRUCKEE, Calif. - With plenty of early snow this winter more than 90 Glenshire Elementary School second graders enjoyed a day in the adjoining meadow to culminate their Winter Survival Lessons. On Jan. 30, parents volunteered to spend the day teaching students essential snow country survival skills. The children traveled to six stations to scout for suitable shelter spots, build snow caves, and practice creating signals for would-be rescuers. The students practiced skills learned in the classroom and extended the lessons with writing and art projects.

This is an excerpt from my new book, Organizational Psychology for Managers
One of the most important things you can do as a team is periodically celebrating progress. It is always more motivating to look at how far you�ve come rather than how far you have yet to go. Indeed, it�s more motivating to say, �we�re half done,� than to say, �There�s still half left to do.� The two statements may be mathematically equivalent, and IBM�s Watson, the Jeopardy playing computer, would probably find them identical. If you happen to be employing Watson, then it may not matter what you say. However, if you happen to be employing people, it matters.
In jujitsu practice, the students who always focus on how far off the black belt is tend to not finish the journey. Those who focus on how far they�ve come are the ones who keep coming back.
You don�t need to highlight individuals every time you do this; in fact, you shouldn�t. The goal is not to make anyone feel bad for not getting as much done as someone else; rather, it�s simply about sharing success. Feeling that the team is making progress helps boost everyone�s morale, increases team cohesion, and helps build trust.
Depending on your organizational culture, you can occasionally highlight individual accomplishments in much the way that some sports teams will highlight most valuable players. It�s important, though, to pay close attention to how people work and what they expect. At Atari, a new CEO tried to transform the highly collaborative, team-based culture into a more individual, competitive culture. He focused heavily on �engineer of the week,� and other such awards. However, engineers at Atari viewed game development as a collaborative process, where everyone worked together to produce a quality product. The focus on individual performance shattered the team structure, turning high performance teams back into struggling level one groups. Atari never recovered.
When you celebrate team successes, you build relationships, strengthen competence, and provide the trust necessary for greater levels of autonomy. Success builds on success just as failure feeds on failure. What you focus on is what you get.

The FAOSTAT Emissions Land Use database provides country-level estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions based on FAOSTAT activity data using Tier 1 computations, following 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National GHG Inventories. Technical details of specific activity data used and relevant computational steps employed, including the mapping between IPCC and FAOSTAT land use categories, are given in the Methodology and Quality Information section of the metadata for each of the sectors in the domain.
Changes in carbon stocks and ecosystem function linked to anthropogenic activities such as land-use change and land management determine emissions and removals of GHG that are reported by countries for the IPCC categories for forestry and other land uses. In general, activities that increase terrestrial carbon stocks over time lead to removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, while activities that decrease total carbon stocks lead to CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
The current database includes CO2 emissions by sources and removals by sinks from forest land, cropland and grassland, as well as emissions of non-CO2 from fires of biomass and organic soils.
Results from the FAOSTAT Emissions Land Use database contribute to IPCC WGIII Fifth Assessment Report, extending trend analysis of activity data and GHG emissions to the present time, with annual automatic updates in following years.
The FAOSTAT Emissions database provides support to FAO member countries along four key dimensions of use:
DISCLAIMER: The FAOSTAT Emissions data are estimated by FAO and do not coincide with GHG data reported by member countries to UNFCCC. The database is intended primarily as a service to help member countries assess and report their emissions, as well as a useful international benchmark. The FAOSTAT Emissions data are disseminated publicly to facilitate continuous feedback from member countries.

"As a German, it's part of my history whether I want it or not," Muller said.
Last summer, he and nearly two dozen other German volunteers arrived in Israel for a year of service through a group called Ot Hakapara, Hebrew for "Sign of Atonement," working at libraries, nursing homes and community centers around the country.
Beginning at sundown Sunday, they will join Israelis in commemorating the country's annual Holocaust Remembrance Day, attending the official ceremony at Yad Vashem — Israel's Holocaust memorial and museum — and speaking with Jewish students about the Nazis' crimes during World War II.
For Muller, his time in Israel has brought him powerful experiences. At the nursing home where he volunteers, he said, one 90-year-old woman ignored him for weeks, until one day she struck up a conversation with him — in German.
She said she hadn't spoken German to anybody in 60 years. She just stopped speaking it after the Shoah," Muller said, using the Hebrew word for the Holocaust.
Ot Hakapara was founded in 1958 by German Protestants who believed they had not done enough to stop the Holocaust, Katharina Vonmuster, the group's executive director, told The Associated Press. Each year, the group sends around 180 volunteers to help the needy around the world, she said. Two dozen of those come to Israel.
"As an East German I feel a special responsibility, because East Germany did almost nothing during its 40 years of existence" to recognize the Holocaust, Vonmuster said. While democratic West Germany accepted responsibility for the crimes of the Nazi regime and paid reparations, the Communist East refused to accept any blame for the events of the war.
Another volunteer, Rebecca Goermann, is volunteering at a children's library in the northern city of Haifa. When she arrived, Goermann said, she expected to face some hostility from Israelis because of her nationality.
In the end, though, the 19-year-old said she hadn't met any negative reactions. She was surprised, though, by the black humor of Israelis she heard joking about the Holocaust.
"They prefer to laugh about it," Goermann said. "We always say, 'No, we can't laugh about this topic.'"
Holocaust remembrance day lasts from sundown Sunday to sundown Monday. Every year bars, clubs and other entertainment venues close and Holocaust programming fills the airwaves. Air-raid sirens sound throughout the country for two minutes, marking a nationwide moment of silence for the six million Jews killed by the Nazis. Traffic comes to a halt, even on busy highways.
Foreign diplomats traditionally attend the remembrance ceremony at Yad Vashem. But on Thursday, the Vatican's ambassador to Israel, Monsignor Antonio Franco, said he would not attend this year because he objects to a Yad Vashem display that criticizes the wartime pope, Pius Xll, for remaining silent during the Nazi genocide.
The Vatican says Pius Xll engaged in discreet diplomacy to save thousands of Jews.
While the country officially pays respect to the Holocaust's victims, some survivors' groups have criticized the Israeli government for not providing sufficient aid to the nearly 250,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel. According to one prominent group, the Foundation for the Benefit of Holocaust Victims in Israel, as many as 30 percent of Israeli survivors face economic difficulties.
Many problems rooted in the Holocaust have surfaced only now that the survivors are elderly, said Dubby Arbel, the foundation's director.
Survivors often have psychological problems caused by trauma they underwent in their youth, Arbel said, and malnutrition at that time manifests itself now in a much higher rate of disease for elderly survivors than for the population at large. While elderly people generally rely on extended family for help, he said, many survivors are alone, having lost their relatives in the Holocaust.
Thirty survivors pass away every day, Arbel said, and "if we don't help them now, within five to seven years we won't have many people left to help."

The conference's Offensive Player of the Year is Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein. The Defensive Player of the Year went to K-State linebacker Arthur Brown.

WVU's record-setting quarterback Geno Smith was named to the Big 12's second all-conference team. Smith completed 350 of 490 passes for 4,004 yards and 40 touchdowns.

It's nice to see a new business in Belington. LeLynn's Lullabies, owned by Tina McCumbers, is located on Crim Avenue and specializes in baby items. We wish you the best!
Philippi Basketball starts their first games today at the City Gym. Come out and support our youth. I was there one night for practice and was impressed to see the older teenage boys take the time to show the younger teenagers the ins and outs of the game.
I was able to drive past the Barbour County Fairgrounds this week to get a look at the new playground equipment. It won't be open until April, but consists of two separate playground sets and looks very nice. Almost makes me wish I was a kid again. This was funded through a federal grant.
Nestorville Church is having their Christmas musical, "Memories of Christmas", on Sunday. Presentation starts at 5 p.m., followed by a meal at 6 p.m. in the fellowship hall.

Christmas is a magical time to spend with family and remember those things that are important. It's easy to get caught up in all the preparations and end up forgetting about the real reason of the season.
While you are taking time for everything else, make sure you also take the time to sit back and remember the true meaning of Christmas.
If you have any Barbour County news that you would like to see in the Inter-Mountain, give me a call at 823-2539. Thank you for all the nice comments.

Minka Kelly
We first fell in love with Minka Kelly when she was shaking her pompons with Panther pride as head cheerleader Lyla Garrity on the epically underrated series Friday Night Lights. Kelly's character has since graduated, but unfortunately her career has not. With all the tools of a leading lady (charisma, sex appeal and acting chops), Kelly has been stuck in Hollywood's version of purgatory: a string of roles on mediocre shows and an inability to transition to the big screen alongside A-listers.
Her last role, Eve French on the TV remake of Charlie's Angels, got her back in the limelight, but, as of late, it's her personal life that's been making headlines. Minka Kelly made a sex tape, which is now tied to the highest bidder. Do any of you have a few million dollars we could borrow?
Her last role, Eve French on the TV remake of Charlie's Angels, got her back in the limelight, but, as of late, it's her personal life that's been making headlines. Minka Kelly made a sex tape, which is now tied to the highest bidder. Do any of you have a few million dollars we could borrow?
AppealThere's no denying that Minka Kelly is sexy. From her days as quarterback-kissing Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights, to her brief appearance as a light at the end of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's tunnel in the indie smash (500) Days of Summer, Kelly has been igniting school boy crushes in men of all ages (go on, ask your dad). But much like her character in FNL, Kelly only goes for star athletes, in this case Derek Jeter, who began dating in 2008, although the couple called it quits in 2011. She's now tied to Wilmer Valderrama.
SuccessMinka Kelly's career got off to a promising start when she landed a lead role in Peter Berg's small screen adaptation of his big screen hit Friday Night Lights. The aspiring nurse and struggling actress suddenly found herself part of a young, talented, smoldering ensemble on a critically acclaimed show that no one watched.
After she left the show, Kelly's career never picked up the steam that many had predicted, and save for parts in films like The Kingdom, (500) Days of Summer and the TV series Parenthood and Charlie's Angels, Kelly was almost as well known for being Derek Jeter's girlfriend as she was for her acting career. Then, like an angel sent from heaven, Esquire magazine decided to name Kelly its "Sexiest Woman Alive" providing the actress with a flurry of press and name recognition along the way. With past cover girls that include Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and Kate Beckinsale, as well as her first big-screen leading role in the thriller The Roommate, Minka Kelly's road to superstardom just got a bit shorter.
Minka Kelly BiographyAs Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights, Minka Kelly was a picture of perfection: head cheerleader, dating the high school quarterback, born again Christian, and eventual college student. It was hard to believe that Kelly's own upbringing didn't somehow mirror her coming of age on the show. Well, not quite.
Kelly was born out of wedlock; her mother was an exotic dancer in Vegas and her father a sometime guitarist for Aerosmith. Kelly was raised by her mother in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and her childhood was, in her own words, "pretty rough" (Stinka Smelly rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?). But with the support of her mother -- with whom she was close -- Kelly graduated high school and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in show business.
minka kelly says no to a career in modelingDuring a model casting, Minka Kelly was approached by a former Playmate, who offered to manage the young ingenue. The plan was to have Kelly work as a receptionist at a plastic surgeon's office until she earned herself a pair of fake breasts, making her a shoo-in for Playboy's Playmate of the Year honors. The only problem was that Kelly liked the way she looked, and canceled the surgery days before it was scheduled. Instead, she decided to pursue a career in nursing, and save for a few small roles on some bargain-bin television shows, Kelly seemed destined for a life of changing diapers and bedsheets.
minka kelly stars on friday night lightsIn an industry that fetishizes youth, a 26-year-old Minka Kelly was already over-the-hill when she was cast as head cheerleader Lyla Garrity in NBC's football drama Friday Night Lights, especially since she was charged with the task of playing a high school student. But play her she did, with as much conviction, poise and heart as some of Hollywood's most seasoned actresses. Even The New York Times called the young actress' performance "heartbreaking."
When Kelly left the show after four seasons, she had all the momentum of most young actresses coming off hit shows, except that she was already pushing 30, and the offers weren't coming in. Bit parts opposite Jamie Foxx in The Kingdom and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in (500) Days of Summer proved that Kelly was equipped with the tools to command the big screen, but the offers just weren't coming.

Police identify victim in fatal Union Township crash (updated 5:40 p.m.)
UNION CITY -- State police said snowy conditions were reported at the time of a two-vehicle crash in Union Township that killed a woman this afternoon.
The accident happened at about 12:10 p.m. on Route 8 just north of the Crawford County line and involved a car and a propane tanker-truck, according to reports at the scene.
State police at Corry identified the victim as Rebecca R. Seelinger, 18, of Bloomfield Township.
Police said Seelinger was driving a 2000 Ford Focus north on Route 8 when her vehicle crossed the centerline and crashed head-on into a Mack propane truck, which was southbound.
The Focus came to a stop in the Route 8 northbound lane, police said.
After the impact, the propane truck rolled onto its right side and came to a stop in the southbound lane.
The driver of the propane truck, Anthony J. Kunick, 52, of Spartansburg Township, was uninjured, police said.
Seelinger was pronounced dead at the scene by Erie County Deputy Coroner Korac Timon. Seelinger died from multiple blunt-force trauma injuries, Timon said.
The accident occurred as the National Weather Service in Cleveland extended into Friday a lake effect snow advisory it issued this morning.
Snow continues to fall on areas of the Erie region that got hit with a wet, heavy snow this morning. Snowfall totals reported to the National Weather Service in Cleveland this morning included 4 inches in Meadville, 2 inches in Corry and Springboro, 1.5 inches in Amity Township and traces in Girard and at the Erie International Airport.
The snow toppled some trees in Crawford County and sent scores of vehicles off roadways in Ashtabula County this morning.
The lake effect snow advisory for inland Erie County and all of Crawford County is set to expire at noon on Friday. Forecasters are calling for 1 to 2 inches of new snow this afternoon and another 2 to 4 inches overnight.

A Gardnerville family is mourning the loss a 4-year-old boy who died Sunday afternoon after being hit by a runaway U-Haul truck in a relative's driveway near Spring Valley.
Four-year-old Mason Geist was transported from the scene of the 3:45 p.m. accident to Carson Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
"He was a kick in the pants. He loved Batman," relative Chad Lathrop said. "It's an awful situation. The kid was his life."
Lathrop was referring to Gardnerville Ranchos resident and stone and tile contractor Robert Geist, who, along with Mason, was helping Lathrop move out of their residence at 980 Cavelti Road.
Lathrop said Robert was backing up the truck to his house, which is on an incline, when he put the vehicle in park and jumped out to check the clearance. Mason was still in the cab of the vehicle when Robert exited, leaving the driver-side door open, Lathrop said. He described a terrible scene as the truck started rolling down the driveway.
"Robert didn't want Mason outside when they were backing up," Lathrop said. "He jumped out for a second, and all of a sudden the U-Haul took off."
Lathrop said they all were chasing the truck down the hill, trying to reach Mason.
"The U-Haul hit a bump," he said, referring to the moment Mason fell out of the vehicle. "My son tried grabbing him, but at that time the wheel ran him over."
The U-Haul's automatic transmission gearshift was defective and should not have engaged without pressure on the brake, Lathrop said.
"Mason must have bumped the gearshift. It took off," he said. "But he was so little, there was no way he could have hit the brake."
Lathrop said the gearshift had been touchy to begin with.
"We turned it on, just hit the lever and it goes," he said. "A police detective called and said they were coming to impound the vehicle and examine it for mechanical issues."
U-Haul of East Sacramento President Aaron Anderson said the company is cooperating with the investigation.
"First and foremost, U-Haul expresses our heartfelt condolences to the Geist Family," Anderson said in an e-mail to The Record-Courier. "U-Haul is cooperating fully with those investigating this tragedy."
In a news release issued Monday by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Undersheriff Paul Howell said an the investigation is ongoing.
"They were helping us," Lathrop said of the move. "Robert is feeling so bad. He feels he needs to be punished. But he didn't do anything wrong. It should have never gone into gear like that. It was a horrible accident, but it wasn't neglect on Robert's part. That kid was his life."
Donations may be made to the Mason Allen Geist account at El Dorado Savings Bank. Carson City's branch is at 3788 U.S. 395.
