WARREN - Attorneys for the three men accused in a lawsuit of conspiring to ruin a restaurant in downtown Warren say the allegations are ''preposterous,'' and they intend to aggressively defend against the claims.
''It's a stupid and silly lawsuit,'' said attorney Martin F. White, who represents Bob Cregar.
Ken Haidaris, owner of The Sunrise Inn, claims the men conspired against his restaurant.
''Those allegations, I can't come up with a better word than preposterous,'' said attorney Gil Blair, whose client is Joe Sankey Jr., another defendant in the lawsuit filed in March.
The most serious of the allegations in the complaint filed by attorney Richard Goodman are claims made under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and Ohio's Corrupt Practices Act. They allege that Cregar, Sankey and LaShawn Ziegler engaged in a pattern of activity to wreck the Sunrise Inn and cost it a large amount of money.
It also claims that money from the Sunset Lounge - managed by Ziegler's company, Dream Team Promotions, in a building Sankey owns across the street from Sunrise Inn - was redirected to Cregar's bail bonding business and other businesses he owns.
The lawsuit asks for as much as $3.7 million in damages and to dissolve businesses owned by Cregar, Dream Team Promotions and Blue Magoo's Ventures LLC, which is Sankey's company that did business at the former Sunset Lounge, 480 E. Market St.
The lawsuit also seeks permanent revocation of Blue Magoo's liquor license.
Goodman said he believes the lawsuit is founded in fact based on the information he gathered, but declined further comment.
''We don't engage in litigating cases in the media, we litigate cases in the court of law,'' Goodman said.
White, who in a recent interview also used the word ''preposterous'' several times to describe the lawsuit, said the allegations against Cregar are untrue, and that his client has no business interest in the Sunset Lounge and ''derived no financial benefit'' from the now-closed bar.
''They might as well add a count that they are interfering with radio waves coming from Martians,'' White said. ''It's preposterous.''
White explained the relationship between Cregar, Sankey and Ziegler as follows:
White said Cregar's lease with Ziegler for 156 Elm was signed in July 2011, before the Sunset Lounge existed, and the terms changed to a land contract in February.
White said Cregar is trying to distance himself from Ziegler. White said Cregar chose not to sever ties with Ziegler immediately because ''the guy (Ziegler) makes his payments, so he (Cregar) holds a mortgage on LaShawn Ziegler property by virtue of the land contract.''
Ziegler listed 156 Elm as the headquarters for Dream Team Promotions, which documents show was part of the Sunset Lounge operation in Sankey's building. The Elm Road house was also the scene of what was described as a major gun battle in the street in November in which a known drug dealer was shot to death and another man wounded.
Court records show White has answered the Sunrise Inn complaint. Blair said he would soon do the same for Sankey.
''The important thing we are talking about is that establishment was opened and running as Sunset Lounge for about a six- to eight-month period of time. I don't know of any damages suffered by the plaintiff. In fact, I'm pretty certain there were on the other side,'' Blair said. ''I think it's a bunch of smoke, mirrors and speculation.''
Sarah Kovoor, who represents Ziegler, also said the lawsuit against him is ''preposterous'' and ''silly,'' and she is going to proceed with trying to have Ziegler removed from the suit. Kovoor also called the damages being sought ''ludicrous.''

Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd.'s plans to build a facility in Northeast Philadelphia now appear uncertain, as the drugmaker goes through tumultuous change at the top of its global organization.
In September, the world's leading producer of generic medicine organized a groundbreaking ceremony to herald planned construction of a $300 million, 1.1 million-square-foot distribution/warehouse/computer data complex on the site of the former Budd Co. plant along Red Lion Road in the city's Bustleton section. The facility was to bring together 200 jobs from other Pennsylvania locations and create 200 more jobs within three years.
"Not only are we celebrating the commencement of the new building, but starting today, Teva will be an official member of the city of Philadelphia," Teva Americas chief executive officer and president Bill Marth said at the Sept. 27 event, adding that the project and the search for a location had been in the works for several years. The property, a former Superfund site purchased by Teva, had remained zoned for industrial use.

AUSTIN - A bill that would tax the sale of fireworks to help insure rural volunteer fire departments is under consideration by the House Committee on Agriculture and Livestock.
House Bill 3667 by state Rep. Robert Cook, D-Eagle Lake, would use the revenue from a 2 percent sales tax on fireworks to create and fund a rural volunteer fire department insurance program. The plan would help volunteer fire departments pay for workers' compensation, accidental death and disability insurance. It would administered by the Texas Fire Service.
Volunteer fire departments are mostly funded by chili cook-offs and bake sales, so many communities can't afford to pay the high insurance rates to cover the volunteers, Cook said.
Volunteer fire departments also suffer from low retention rates, he said, because the volunteers don't want to put the livelihood of their families on the line.
"I want a tax increase as much as the next person, but I do realize we are here to provide a service - and taxes and fees are a necessary evil. So, instead of a broad-based tax, we looked for a revenue stream that would take some of the burden off them (rural communities) and put it on - I guess you could call it - a sin tax," he said. "As Carl Isett said, `I tried to tax the 4th of July'."
Isett filed the bill during the 1999 legislative session, Cook said.
Bobbie Young, associate director of the Texas Fire Service, said the program will protect landowners because if an uninsured volunteer is injured, the only way the volunteer may be able to cover the medical expenses is to sue the landowner.
Young said he believes a tax on fireworks is appropriate because it doesn't tax the community as a whole, just the activity of setting off fireworks, which can be a fire hazard.
"Fireworks are not used and not sold in the incorporated city limits of Texas. Anything that is going to be shot in Texas is going to be shot in rural Texas," he said. "Volunteers have to make runs on those kinds of things on a regular basis, and so we think it's an appropriate time to put some money back into the volunteer fire department service."
Chester Davis, Texas Pyrotechnic Association, testified that the fireworks industry supports the bill and anything that would bring additional funding sources to the volunteers.
"We think this is a great way to bring them some revenue and we're ready to go with it," he said.

For a while there m4s were breaking extractors regularly, but I believe they have helped fix this by beefing up the relevant parts/changing spring rates/etc. Just keep in mind that a good m4 is not just an m16 that has been cut down. They re-engineered parts because of what they are talking about there.

Wait a second... I thought the M4 was flawless. Now I hear it has problems?
I'm so confused.

All carbine length gas systems, not just the M4, will run at higher pressures. This may or may not affect functioning in a particular carbine depending on all kinds of factors.
There are any number of gadgets designed to reduce the cyclic rate or gas pressure in a carbine length gas system. Most of them are unneccessary in your normal 16" semi-auto carbine, though a heavy-duty extractor spring or O-ring extractor insert can provide some cheap insurance.
Problems with the carbine length gas systems are more apparent in full-auto or suppressed guns (or guns with both) than they are in semi-auto 16" guns.
Zak Smith

I believe the 14.5" M4 barrel is long enough to use a mid-length gas system, which would fix any gas pressure issues.

Skip to comments.Boy vaccinated with Girls version of Gardasil...total pancreatic failure. Questions...
RARELY post anything...this is a total vanity, but, I would like some input. We have a customer who has a 14 year old son that got the WRONG Gardasil shot last fall. The clinic where he got the shot notified them 3 months after the fact that he got the FEMALE version, instead of the MALE version, along with 15 other boys (they wanted his parents to bring him back in for the male version...and they refused, I think, luckily). Just in the last month, this kid has had total pancreatic failure, and now must take insulin shots, and monitor his blood sugar before EVERY meal, for the REST of his life. I can't help but think this is related to the Gardasil. I've done some googling, but can't really find anything out there. Does anyone out there in Freeper-land have any experience in this, and can clue me in? I just feel horrible for our customer and his kid, and as soon as I heard the words 'Gardasil' and 'mistake', red flags went up BIGTIME!! Thanks FREEPERS!
You're correct in that the FDA hasn't approved Cervarix for boys, but that will most likely happen soon. I can't imagine that it would be called "the girl's vaccine" by any medical professional and I'm fairly certain that the result wouldn't be an immediate re-vaccination with Gardasil.
I did not disagree with your comment. I was quoting from the Merck literature (also on their website) as to one of the reasons for using Gardasil for men.
You obviously believe Merck's data. Fine. Since most of the clinical trials were run on women and not men I guess you have a slightly tougher row to hoe.
Perhaps you should dig deeper and not pretend to know everything
My son's pediatrician calls it juvenile diabetes and type 1.
They use both. In fact she specializes in kids with diabetes.
GARDASIL is a vaccine indicated in girls and women 9 through 26 years of age for the prevention of the following diseases caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types included in the vaccine:
Cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancer caused by HPV types 16
and 18
Genital warts (condyloma acuminata) caused by HPV types 6 and
And the following precancerous or dysplastic lesions caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18:
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2/3 and Cervical
adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)
Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1
Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) grade 2 and grade 3
Vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VaIN) grade 2 and grade 3
Anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) grades 1, 2, and 3
GARDASIL is indicated in boys and men 9 through 26 years of age for the prevention of the following diseases caused by HPV types included in the vaccine:
Anal cancer caused by HPV types 16 and 18
Genital warts (condyloma acuminata) caused by HPV types 6 and 11
And the following precancerous or dysplastic lesions caused by HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18:
Anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) grades 1, 2, and 3. (1)"
That is the direct quote from the Merck circular that addresses the uses and limitations of Gardasil.
If your son'd doc is a pediatrician she is most definitely NOT an endocrinologist those are the specialists in the area. Yes I agree some docs do still use the term but it is not accurate and fell out of favor long ago whih is why you hear the terms Type 1 and insulin dependent.
But I think we strain mightily at a gnat's eyelash.
Those with diabetes who need to take insulin shots to balance their sugars have challenges but they can lead full and wonderful lives.
"Has anyone out there heard or experienced someone who has received the shots, then contracted type 1 diabetes? My 14 year old daughter had two of the shots done, then two months later, she was diagnosed with diabetes. She was healthy, active through her school with sports. She had reported to me that another girl, healthy, active, in her school had just came down with diabetes as well, after receiving all three shots."

My blood went cold
posted by Marcia Turnquist on 5 Apr 2012 at 8:58 am
"My daughter developed type 1 diabetes AND antibodies against her thyroid in the months after receiving her last Gardasil vaccination. I have always suspected Gardasil as we have NO HISTORY of either of these diseases on EITHER side of the family. When I read at the end of this article that Merck (the maker of Gardasil) financed the study, my blood went cold."
Lindsey on September 15, 2010 at 4:47 pm
"I received the shot in December of 2008 at the insistance of my family doctor. I was well outside the recomended age range at 29, but allowed myself to be badgered into it. By Febuary of 2009 I had developed full blown Type 1 diabetes. I had just had a full physical in November that included blood work and thus knew I was not diabetic or even pre-diabetic before the shot. Our family had never had a case of diabetes on either side. My heart goes out to everyone whose lives have been destroyed by Merck."
I'm not 'perpatrating' anything. I asked a simple question of freepers based on info received from my customer about what happened to his son. How is that 'perpatrating' a lie? I know NOTHING about Gardasil, and knew I'd get good answers (pro and con) from Freepers.
What, you didn't get the Merk approved Rick Perry memo?
I don't think there is anything wrong with that term.
You are the one who stated that doctors no longer use that term, I just disagreed.
I stated it because it is inaccurate and truly is NOT used by the specialists in the field. The fact that you can cite one peditircian is really not the same as saying all the docsw use it -—which is of course what you did
Diagnosed type 1 at 39. While my wife may call me juvenile, my doctor didn't. Although, he did tell me that type 1 is what was commonly referred to as juvenile diabetes, just to educate me that there was no difference. I would have possibly thought that juvenile diabetes was a subset of type 1. From what I see, doctors are trying to get away from the juvenile diabetes label because, as I am proof, it isn't always accurate. Although, since the vast majority of cases occur during childhood, I am sure that the term is still used.
You are correct. The term is still used by some but most docs and specialists in the field use the other terms (Type 1 or insulin dependent).
You explained it perfectly and if your wife calls you juvenile I am sure it is always a term of endearment ;)
You stated that is no longer used by doctors.
It is, by my son's dr. and other specialists he has gone to. They usually use both terms. Type 1 or juvenile.
You really don't know what you are talking about. That is why I called you out. Yes, some may no longer use that term but lots do.

Pedro Alvarez homered twice to break out of a 5-for-34 slump, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 10-2 on Saturday night.
Alvarez hit a three-run shot in the fourth inning and a solo drive in the fifth against starter Wily Peralta (15-8). Russell Martin also connected for a three-run homer off the right-hander, who held the Pirates hitless for 3 2-3 innings but quickly fell apart and exited after five.
Pittsburgh starter Edinson Volquez (11-7) pitched out of trouble almost every inning to improve to 3-0 in five August starts. The right-hander allowed 11 hits and two walks in 5 2-3 innings, but Milwaukee only managed two runs off him.
Each team had 12 hits, but Pittsburgh took advantage of its chances while Milwaukee squandered its opportunities.

Americans sign Zigomanis to AHL deal
The Rochester Americans announced today that the team has signed forwards Mike Zigomanis and Frederick Roy and defenseman Alex Lepkowski to American Hockey League contracts.
Zigomanis recorded seven goals and 28 assists for 35 points in 64 AHL games last season with the Toronto Marlies, before adding nine points (2g, 7a) in nine Calder Cup Playoff games. He also won the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award as the AHL's Man of the Year for his efforts in the Toronto community.
A veteran of 13 pro seasons, Zigomanis set career highs with 42 assists and 61 points with the Marlies in 2011-12.
In 524 regular-season AHL games, Zigomanis has registered 143 goals and 270 assists for 413 points, and he has totaled 13 goals and 26 assists for 39 points in 49 career Calder Cup Playoff games. The Toronto native has also skated in 197 NHL games, notching 21 goals and 19 assists, and was a member of Pittsburgh's Stanley Cup championship team in 2009.
Roy, 22, played in 64 games with the Amerks last season, recording eight goals and two assists for 10 points in his first season of professional hockey.
In 2011-12, Roy registered 92 points (27g, 65a) in 64 games with the Quebec Remparts (QMJHL), tying for fourth in the league in scoring.
A Montreal native, Roy is the son of former Calder Cup champion and Hockey Hall of Famer Patrick Roy.
Lepkowski, 20, appeared in 60 games with the Barrie Colts (OHL) last season where he collected nine assists and 78 penalty minutes.
The 6-foot-4, 214-pound native of West Seneca, N.Y., played in 203 career OHL games with Barrie and Saginaw, recording 27 points (8g, 19a) and 238 penalty minutes. He was originally selected by Buffalo in the fifth round of the 2011 NHL Draft.

Drew Barrymore is wrapping up her summer of love with the Apple computer commercials' "Mac Guy," Justin Long.
The He's Just Not that Into You costars seemed really into one another over Labor Day in Vegas, where the two were "all over each other, making out the entire time," a witness at Jet Nightclub tells PEOPLE.
First spotted together at Chateau Marmont on Aug. 28, Barrymore, 32, and Long, 29, brought their holiday weekend to a close back in Los Angeles at a trendy sushi restaurant with friends.
According to a Barrymore pal, "the relationship is very new."
So new, in fact, the actress dallied with Scrubs star Zach Braff in June and rekindled old flame Spike Jonze in August.
At the end of August, a pal of the actress told PEOPLE, "Drew is crazy about [Jonze]. She's definitely feeling long-term about it. They're really great together."
Reps for both Barrymore and Long had no comment.

Overall, Denver-based PDC plans to spend $647 million in Weld, and in a play in the Utica area of southern Ohio.

The company plans to start the year off with four drilling rigs in the Wattenberg, with a fifth to be added in the second quarter of the year. The budget for the field includes starting 115 horizontal wells, targeting the Niobrara and Codell formations. The company also plans to re-initiate its vertical well refrac program, the release stated.
The company plans to put about $162 million into the Utica Play in southeast Ohio, drilling 18 wells. A second rig will be deployed in the second half of the year, and the company plans to spend about $30 million to acquire more acreage.

The Toledo Museum of Art is inviting area residents to stop by and take part in Slow Art Day on April 12.
Nearly 200 venues in North America, Europe and Australia are expected to participate in this year's international observance, which encourages people to take their time looking at works of art, then gather to discuss what they saw with others.
TMA Docent Program Manager Paula Brown-Gray, who coordinates the day's activities locally, describes slow looking as "total and full engagement with the works."
The Museum has selected six works to feature on Slow Art Day. Participants can view the objects anytime between 10 a.m. and noon on Saturday, April 12. Enough time should be allowed to spend at least 10 minutes observing each work. Those attending can bring lunch or purchase a meal from the Museum Café to eat while discussing the works of art with others in the Green Room starting at noon.
Featured works of art include La penna di hu by Frank Stella; Homeless Child by Yinka Shonibare; The Mediterranean, or Latin Thought by Aristide Maillot; London Visitors by James Jacques Joseph Tissot; Blind Man's Buff by Jean-Honoré Fragonard and The Architect's Dream by Thomas Cole.
Slow Art Day is free but advance registration is required before checking in at Herrick Lobby during the viewing period. To register, visit http://bit.ly/SlowArtDayatTMA.
Slow Art Day is part of TMA's ongoing efforts to teach visual literacy, which is the ability to construct meaning from what you see.
Admission to the Museum is free. Parking is free for members and $5 for nonmembers.

text: Hello There. I have embedded Perl inside C framework. The Perl interface that I created is very simple: calls the new function and an init function in the beginning, calls a request function multiple times, and calls terminate function and DESTROY in the end. The C framework is multithreaded, and currently I just lock access to Perl so just one thread can access the Perl object at any time. But now I want to give the user the ability to make his extension multithreaded, and I need ideas on how to do it. Should I externally clone the interpreter with the user object inside? Or should I create multiple interpreters and load the user's module each time? (not a good idea, IMO) What do you think? What would you expect? Shmuel.

There is no prospective randomized study with long-term follow-up to guide the surgeon when treating patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer, and unless a tumor marker with predictive value is discovered, this conundrum will not be settled in the near future. In the absence of a definitive study, I believe that the most logical approach to this tumor is to use risk factor analysis models such as AMES1 or the classifications proposed by Shah et al2 and Shaha et al.3 It is very clear that well-differentiated thyroid cancer can act very differently depending on a patient's risk-factor classification. Low-risk patients tend to do very well regardless of the extent of thyroidectomy, and high-risk patients tend to do poorly even with aggressive treatment. Although papillary thyroid cancer is frequently multifocal, the significance of microscopic disease in the contralateral lobe is questionable. The patient presented in the clinical challenge falls into the low-risk category, and I would favor performing only a thyroid lobectomy under most circumstances. This decision goes hand in hand with the decision not to perform adjuvant radioactive iodine treatment.

Spain's governing Popular Party said Thursday that its financial arrangements are managed "in accord with legality and complying with tax obligations," responding to a press report about an alleged secret ledger.
Published in Thursday's edition of Madrid daily El Pais, the handwritten document attributed to former PP treasurers Alvaro Lapuerta and Luis Barcenas covers the period 1990-2009.
The entries detail contributions to the PP from businesses and payments to PP leaders, including current Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
The PP issued a statement denying the existence of any secret ledgers and stressing that the party's accounts have been submitted for inspection by the relevant authorities.
Barcenas, in a statement sent to Efe, said no undeclared payments were made during his years as PP treasurer.
Besides Rajoy, recipients of the payments listed on the ostensible secret ledger included current party Secretary-General Maria Dolores de Cospedal, El Pais said.
When contacted by the newspaper for comment, all of the individuals and firms named in the article denied having made or received any undeclared payments.
The PP's National Executive Committee will hold an extraordinary meeting this weekend to consider additional responses to the allegations, sources inside the party told Efe Thursday.
The controversy emerged last week when authorities in Switzerland told a Spanish judge probing a kickbacks-for-contracts scandal known as the "Gürtel case" that Barcenas had deposited some 22 million euros (roughly $29.3 million) in Swiss bank accounts.
After initially ordering an internal review of PP finances, Rajoy on Monday commissioned an examination by independent external auditors. EFE

< A staggered Senate? | Main | Conferring chambers >
Voting overseas is getting easier
Posted at 1:59 PM on April 8, 2008 by Michael Marchio (3 Comments)
It was a day for voting about voting on the House floor yesterday.
HF1259, carried by Rep. Jeremy Kalin (DFL-Lindstrom) would make it easier for Americans overseas to vote, and was approved by a 129-0 vote yesterday in the first half of the House session.
According to Rep. Kalin, 80 percent of all votes cast through the overseas voting system are not counted in time for the election. In the 2006 election in Minnesota, he said, only 3,000 of the 64,000 ballots in Minnesota were received in time.
"Every citizen should be guaranteed that their vote gets counted, and this bill comes much closer to making sure that this guarantee becomes a reality," Rep. Kalin said.
So who would it apply to? Employees of missionaries, students, Peace Corps workers, employees of multinational corporations, and members of the military, who account for half the Minnesotans voting overseas.
Current law requires that ballots be mailed to those stationed overseas, and then mailed back, and the military asks for at least 45 days turnaround time. This doesn't leave a lot of room for error, and under this bill, people overseas would be able to request ballot information electronically, speeding up the process. It would also make the military identification card and ID number a valid form of identification.
The Pentagon requested a couple of other provisions, including allowing soldiers to email their ballots, but Rep. Kalin said they chose not to include them to make the bill more acceptable, and voting more secure.
Two provisions were taken out of the Senate version of the bill to make it less controversial. One would have established the right to vote by citizens who have never been to the United States to gain residence.
You'll recall earlier this year, some raised questions on whether Sen. John McCain is technically an American citizen because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone to a military family stationed overseas. Rep. Kalin said that federal legislation on this is in the works and would apply to Minnesota residents if it passes.
Another would have established emergency procedures for the Secretary of State to get ballots to soldiers if there is a sudden deployment. Neither of these was included in the House version of the bill that was approved.
A second voting bill, SF1298, sponsored by Rep. Bill Hilty (DFL- Finlayson), taken up when the House reconvened later that night, made it so that when a person changes their address with the U.S. Postal Service, the information would be sent to the Secretary of State's office for updating too. Other than technical changes, it would also prohibit people from receiving payment for collecting voter registration applications.
It would also add cell phone bills to current proofs of residence, including gas, electricity, telephone, cable, water bills and rent statements.
An amendment offered by Rep. Tom Emmer, would require photo IDs to vote to prevent fraud, but it was not adopted on a vote of 59-70. Check out the VoteTracker here. Another, offered by Rep. Laura Brod, would have required people who conduct voter registration to be trained and certified by the Secretary of State's office. It was voted down, 48-82.
UPDATE: I talked to Rep. Kalin this morning, and he clarified a couple of points. 80 percent of all military members who requested ballots - not every soldier - failed to be counted, and exactly 2,695 of the 64,000 eligible Minnesota voters overseas, including members of the military, and Peace Corps and all the other groups I listed above, had their votes counted. He pointed out that this bill was proposed at the suggestion of the Pentagon in order to improve these pretty ghastly figures on the effectiveness of the overseas voting program.

Thank you, Rep. Kalin, for taking action so that the votes of Minnesota residents 'Over There' will be counted here.
Posted by Nancy | April 8, 2008 9:28 PM
This is a definite step in the right direction. It is repulsive that people voting 'absentee' don't have assurance that their vote will be counted. There is no reason why the Sec. State can't print the ballots on October 1 - afterall, we already know by then who is going to be on the ballot, and then mail them out then. A lead time of 45 days? Why not 60? 70? *As soon as possible* would be an even better time-frame.
One ought to be able to request an absentee ballot for any damn reason they want. "I'm too lazy to go to my polling place" is fine with me. "I'm in a nursing home and can't go to the voting place"; "I'm going to be at a professional conference in Denver that day". There are countless reasons why a person might not be able to make it - personal or professional.
This is the most holy and sacred obligation we, as citizens, have. We should do everything feasible to make sure everyone can exercise that obligation to Vote.
Posted by Elizabeth T. | April 8, 2008 9:56 PM
Thanks for the comments Nancy and Elizabeth. I wholeheartedly agree that making sure our voting system works, which these numbers suggest it clearly is not, at least for some Americans, is among the most important things the Legislature can do. In light of the hearings going on at Capitol Hill about the war in Iraq right now, it makes this legislation all the more important, because it sounds like we're going to have a lot of servicemen and women overseas for this November. Everyone deserves to have their vote counted, but its hard to imagine anyone who deserves it more than soldiers stationed overseas.

For those looking to begin a new business initiative in China, the following actions are intended to aid your market entry plan.
Make an Initial Trip: Consider making an initial trip to visit China and get a feel for the business environment.
Having a sense of the similarities and differences in the way business is conducted can help you determine the best way to approach your operations.
After this initial visit, you will have met people in your industry and have a general understanding of how your line of business is conducted. You may also learn potential key players, partners or professional service providers you will need to work with, especially in the initial stages of entry.
Conduct Market Research: Before diving too far into the process of entering China, take some time to conduct initial market research. This research should include verifying the legality of your product or service in the Chinese market, as well as the market demand for it.
It is also important to determine the current demand for the product and to what degree this is being met by the current competition. Understanding the strategy of your competitors will help you focus on pursuing a unique approach to the market.
Decide on a Legal Structure: Have you determined how you will be establish your business in China? Different legal structures come with different start-up procedures, tax policies, and limitations on the types of business transactions that can be performed.
Options include establishing as a Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise (WOFE), Representative Office, signing a Joint Venture (JV) with a Chinese firm, or engaging a consulting or trading company are all options.
Determine the Regulatory Process: If only one piece of advice can be given about the regulatory procedure in China, it is to begin early. Knowing what certifications you will need to obtain for your products is an important first step in this process.
Once you have identified the regulations which apply to your specific product, begin the regulatory procedures to obtain the time consuming certifications needed; the earlier you begin, the earlier you will be able to profit from your efforts. To accomplish this task, it is a good idea to find a reliable agent to work on your behalf.
Gather Information from the Market: In China, little information regarding potential and upcoming projects is publicized in media outlets or on the internet and it is instead passed between people. Having a local presence and a strong network of contacts in China is essential for gaining access to this kind of information.
Prepare to Invest: As with starting any new business, upfront costs should be expected. To run a successful business in China, recognize that you will need to spend a significant amount of time and money to establish your operations.
However, although the initial investment can be significant, the rapid expansion of the Chinese market means that great rewards are possible for companies that make the necessary financial and time commitment when entering the Chinese market.
Keep in mind, the rewards may take longer to see than you would anticipate, so be prepared for a longer period of work before the harvest.

An Economic Theory of Self-Control
Hersh Shefrin
Santa Clara University - Leavey School of Business
Richard H. Thaler
University of Chicago - Booth School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
October 1977
NBER Working Paper No. w0208
Although many economists, most notably Strotz, have discussed dynamic inconsistency and precommitment, none have dealt directly with the essence of the problem: self-control. This paper attempts to fill that gap by modeling man as an organization. The Strotz model is recast to include the control features missing in his formulation. The organizational analogy permits us to draw on the theory of agency. We thus relate the individual's control problems with those that exist in agency relationships.

I get most of my yarns from Yarn Paradise, they are based in Turkey but their shipping is really fast. If you are in the US I've heard that Lion Brand Fun Fur is good. UK King Cole or Sirdar. Put it this way if the ball band says its 50grams and there is 90 meters or less then that's the thicker of the eyelash yarns, the one for this project. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I use Yarn Paradise, its a store based in Turkey but they ship around the world. I've heard that Lion Brand Fun Fur is similar.
The sweater on the bear is gorgeous. I must try that. Is that pattern also in your store?
This sweater is a free download for Huggable Bear. If you look in my store you will see it on a white bear and the sweater is pink. Just add it to your cart and check out, you will not be charged :D
Too cute
Thank you :D
How do I get the pattern? mlamair@yahoo
This pattern is available on my page here on Craftsy :)

Kevin Cuneo: Erie man falls victim to scam
A good friend in Erie who's 82 years old said he foolishly sent $3,800 to a scam artist last week who called him and said my friend's grandson was being held in jail in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. His grandson, who lives in Pittsburgh, hadn't even left Pennsylvania, but the people who called, posing as government officials, were so convincing that my friend went to the bank, withdrew the money and sent it to Haiti for his grandson's bail. He said it was amazing how much information the scam artists had about his family. Now it turns out that he isn't the only person in the region who's fallen victim to the ruse. It's such a well-known con, in fact, that the State Department has issued an alert for Americans to be on the alert for the "grandparent scam." ... Herman Cain, a GOP presidential candidate in 2012, has taken over for the retiring radio host Neil Boortz. The show airs weekdays at 10 a.m. on WJET radio. Also, Jay Mohr's show is on Fox Sports Radio on the Fan 1330 weekdays from noon to 3 p.m. Mohr, a veteran actor, played a despicable sports agent in the film "Jerry Maguire." ... When Pete Alex went to see his granddaughter, Tash Brigham, play for Harbor Creek High School's girls basketball team last week, he was surprised to learn that two of Tash's teammates are the granddaughters of Pat and Len Tomczak. Alex played on the same basketball team in the old City League with the Tomczak brothers nearly 60 years ago. Brigham, incidentally, was also an all-state soccer goalie for the Huskies. ... An Erie native who calls herself "Alaska" is a contestant on the reality TV show "RuPaul's Drag Race." Alaska's boyfriend competed on the show last season and won. Unfortunately, I don't know Alaska's real name. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported that she's a Pitt graduate.
Lavery Brewing Co., one of the small beermakers that's sprung up in Erie, is gaining quite a reputation for the quality of its products. Husband and wife Jason and Nicole Lavery founded the company in 2009, and Jason Lynch came on board in 2010. The 10-barrel production brewery is located at 128 W. 12th St. ... Local fans of Pat Monahan and Train must be disappointed that Erie is not on the list of cities where the band will perform this year. Train references keep popping up in films and on TV shows, such as "Saturday Night Live." ... The recent sale of Glenwood School reminded me of the joy the students there took in the clever displays of pink flamingos at the nearby South Central Fire Station. Firefighter Joe Butoryak came up with the idea of staging various flamingo antics on the front lawn, and the rest of the firefighters joined in the fun. Chet Tucholski, who put in 26 years at the firehouse, mentioned that he recently had a pink flamingo tattooed on his chest. ... Dr. Diane Trister and Patrick Leary, D.O., Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine sports medicine director, will accompany a team of biologic injection specialists on a mission this month to southeastern Mexico. More than 1,000 Mexicans will benefit from prolotherapy injections to ligaments surrounding arthritic joints. ... Noted yoga instructors Sean and Karen Conley, who have worked with Pittsburgh Steelers players, will teach classes Friday at Jill Murphey's YogaErie in the Colony Plaza. Sean Conley was a placekicker for Pitt and briefly in the NFL. ... I see that Sharon Stone, 54, has ended her relationship with 27-year-old model Martin Mica. Stone is the mother of three young sons, Roan, 12, Laird, 7, and Quinn, 6.

In 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy ruled the news. The price of a first-class stamp was 4 cents. Kodak debuted its instamatic camera. "Beverly Hillbillies" was No.1 on television.
It was also the year that Sheraton Maui Resort opened on Kaanapali Beach near Pu'u Keka'a or Black Rock, offering room rates for $15; and when the first Mainland commercial flight to Maui brought movie stars such as Bing Crosby and sports greats like Sam Snead to the island aboard a United Airlines Mark IV DC-8 jet.
From 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 11, the resort will be Celebrating 50 Classic Years at Sheraton Maui with a big blast from the island past.
Article Photos
Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa's Executive Chef Greg Gaspar takes a moment to pose in front of an associate's 1964 Bonneville, one of dozens of classic cars that will rev up the oceanfront lawn on Sunday, Aug. 11 for the event, Celebrating 50 Classic Years at Sheraton Maui. The four-course menu costs only $19.63, and it includes tax and gratuity.

Yes, a special four-course vintage meal will be offered at $19.63 per person, and it includes tax and gratuity.
"Maui Classic Cruisers will display '60s cars, Tori Richards will do a fashion show, and Leo Kani will perform," says Alexis Eaton, the resort's public relations manager. "His dad, Danny Kapoi Jr., performed in the Discovery Room back in the day. It's now the presidential, or Ali'i suite."
The party will be set up on the oceanfront lawn with sunset and island views.
"You can see all of the classic cars, talk to the owners, the band will be playing onstage, and I'll prepare the various courses," says Greg Gaspar, executive chef, who worked there in the early '80s as a fledgling young culinarian.
Begin with chilled fresh papaya wrapped in prosciutto, cherry tomatoes stuffed with Maine bay shrimp, spicy-ahi-poke won tons, and tako poke mixed with Maui onion and Kamuela tomatoes.
The next course is Waipoli greens with grilled Big Island hearts of palm, drizzled in passion fruit vinaigrette.
"We'll offer two proteins for the entree," says Gaspar. "We're honoring the classics, but adding a modern twist."
Sink your teeth into the Hawaii Rancher's grilled rib-eye steak with Ali'i mushrooms; and savor the Tahitian pepper-spiced pan-roasted Pacific salmon.
Dessert will be Fuji-apple fruit tarts with melted Vermont cheddar cheese, Hawaiian sweet-bread pudding with chocolate sauce, and assorted anniversary petit fours set out on each table.
As you enjoy the family-style meal, watch the cliff-diving ceremony that's been around for decades at the resort that underwent a $160 million renovation.
"It's really a throwback evening. We want everyone to celebrate our rich history here at the resort."
In addition to the feast, there will be a cash bar with fun drinks such as the signature Makana, packed with Okolehau Rum from Haleakala Distillers and other liqueurs. It's a take on the Bali Hai.
There will also be a full cash bar with mai tais, beer, wine and anything your retro heart desires.
"The entire Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa 'ohana is enthused about celebrating our golden anniversary," says Tetsuji Yamazaki, general manager. "Come and celebrate the legend!"
Seating is limited. Anniversary room rates are available. For tickets, call reservations at (808) 921-4600.

Discussion paper presented at a meeting, "Family Planning New Worlds organized by

I thank Dr. Laurie Zabin for presenting alternative frameworks to analyze adolescent
sexuality and drawing away from the usual perspective that casts the adolescent as the
problem, spurred by his (and increasingly, her) raging hormones. Her paper shows how
important it is to problematize the way societies interpret the sexualities of young people,
and to seek new ways of understanding these sexualities in the context of history and
I wanted to elaborate on Dr. Zabin's points, using examples from Asia (mainly the
Philippines) to talk about the dilemmas and pitfalls that come with social conservatism,
often expressed through an invocation of a mythical past when adolescents were asexual,
obedient, compliant. In doing so, I want to show that conservatism is not limited to the
moralizing of religious fundamentalists; in fact, the more dangerous forms of social
conservatism are the ones we carry unconsciously, part of all too pervasive social
ideologies that we pick up through our families and educational institutions.
Specifically, I wanted to talk about "PMS , a term which I first heard from Filipino
demographers. It was a term which initially puzzled me since I came in from work on
reproductive health and thought of PMS as premenstrual syndrome. As things turned out,
PMS was "premarital sex , said with much dread and loathing almost as if they were
Tomorrow, in fact, there will be a press conference back home where the latest figures

For many, it still is, even as the mill gets ready to re-open next week. For one of those laid-off workers, the upcoming holidays are just a reminder of that uncertainty. This year, December 25th has taken on a new meaning for Allen Brown. It's the day he'll receive his final severance-pay-check from the former Clearwater Paper sawmill in Lewiston. "So, Merry Christmas," Brown says. "I'll be trying to live on unemployment and raise three kids and myself."

The risk of developing active tuberculosis associated with a different size of induration to purified protein derivative (PPD) has not been prospectively assessed among individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The quantification of this risk is important to more appropriately identify candidates for preventive therapy for tuberculosis.
A prospective, multicenter, cohort study on tuberculosis in HIV-infected patients was conducted in 23 infectious disease units in public hospitals in Italy. Two thousand six hundred ninety-five HIV-infected patients were enrolled in the study. Of these, 1054 patients who were nonanergic at the time of entry were included in the present analysis. The median duration of follow-up was 102 weeks. The main outcome measure was a diagnosis of active tuberculosis confirmed by the isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in culture.
Among the 252 patients with PPD reactivity, patients with an induration to PPD of 2 to 4 mm had a median CD4+ lymphocyte count of 0.34X109/L (interquartile [IQ] range, 0.14X 109-0.56X 109), those with a response of 5 to 9mm had a median count of 0.38X109/L(IQrange, 0.24X109-0.56X 109), and those with a response of 10 mm or higher had a median count of 0.37X 109/L (IQ range, 0.23X 109-0.52X109) (P=.38). Compared with the 802 nonanergic PPD-negative patients, hazard ratios of tuberculosis were 2.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.2-18.3) among the 55 patients with a response to PPD of 2 to 4 mm, 5.7 (95% CI, 1.6-19.8) among the 128 patients with a response to PPD of 5 to 9 mm, and 23.1 (95% CI, 7.8-68.6) among the 69 patients with a response to PPD of 10 mm or higher.
Among nonanergic HIV-infected patients, the degree of response to tuberculin does not appear to reflect the degree of immunosuppression and is strongly correlated with the subsequent incidence of tuberculosis. To identify HIV-infected patients who are at an increased risk of tuberculosis and may benefit from preventive therapy, a response to PPD of 5 mm appears to be an appropriate cutoff point.Arch Intern Med. 1997;157:797-800

Session 53 - The X Clusters: Cooling Flows.
Display session, Thursday, January 08
Exhibit Hall,
We present results from a ROSAT HRI study of 15 intermediate redshift (z=0.2-0.3) Abell clusters. We have performed a detailed morphological analysis to search for and quantify substructure in the clusters. About 85% of the sample shows significant evidence of substructure in the form of centroid shift or obvious X-ray clumps. We also measure the larger scale substructure by comparing the cluster emission to a circular model using Poisson statistics. We examine the clusters for the presence of cooling flows and determine the physical properties of the ICM by deprojecting the HRI data. Twelve of the clusters have central cooling times less than the age of the system in agreement with the fractions determined from X-ray selected samples. This research was supported by the NASA Long-Term Space Astrophysics grant NAGW-3152.

North Dakota 2008
I am a 1980 graduate of Appalachian State University. Soon after I began teaching in the fall of 1979, I was hooked on helping others learn. During the past 29 years, I have taught a variety of science and related subjects in North Carolina, Tennessee, and North Dakota. Currently, I am teaching at Tappen School, enrolment 79 K-12, in Tappen North Dakota where I teach all of the science classes and health classes for grades 7 – 12. We promote individual research within my science classes and have had students qualify to attend the International Science and Engineering Fair each of the last six years.
All of the sciences interest me, but especially chemistry and meteorology. My wife, six children and I reside on a small farm near Medina North Dakota. Our two oldest children, ages 16 and 18, along with my wife and I work with the local emergency services allowing real life application and learning experience in the science fields ranging from fire behavior and weather spotting to emergency medicine.
We all need to help children find the joy in research and to seek the knowledge needed for future generations.
