Three of the most distressing symptoms of Asian influenza which may persist for weeks, with exacerbations, are nausea, intense sweating (especially of the head, neck, and shoulders), and a sensation of chilliness regardless of the room temperature, which is particularly noticeable on the outside of the thighs and calves.
The recent articles on influenza, and even "The Compleat Pediatrician,"1 emphasize the respiratory symptoms and signs but seldom mention the nausea, sweating, and chilliness—symptoms which are far more annoying to the patient and which were stressed in the descriptions of the English epidemics of 1485, 1506, 1517, 1528, and 1551, i.e., "Amidst painful oppression of the stomach, the whole body was suffused with a fetid perspiration...."

who do you guys think would win in a death match sasuke from naruto shipuden or Edwerd from full metal alchemist?
I would have to go with Ed. I really don't like Naruto that much, so I think Ed would win. Sasuke might have the sharingan, but it don't mean squat when he can't do alchemy...
i cant beleave this ed would die in a fight with sasuke edward is a humen who dose alkimy or however you spell it sasuke cane move in a flash of light and have the sword throo eds back and with the chidori and his sharengan one look in the eye and ed is done fore not counting all the jutsu he nose flat out sasuke would win
Sasuke is also human, just because he's a ninja doesn't make him superhuman. Ed has proven that he can be just as fast as any opponent, and the sharingan won't work on ed because sasuke doesn't know alchemy. Ed is also a really good fighter from all of his sparring with Al and his training.
ok yes sasukes sharingan would work on ed i no more about sasuke then prob iny body i dont mean to sound mean but you guys are wrong
Don't get mad, you asked the question and we all answered. Ed would win.
"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
It's ok, that's the only bad thing about forums like this, you don't really get the context of pitch and inflection.
i thank you miss understood me,i was agreeing with you.not the other way around.you are the one who was right.also i see your point on that matter with the contex of the pitch and inflection."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
They removed the post that I replied to. He was apologizing for sounding mad, but they removed the post for some reason....
whats going on???why do they do that,just for fun or some other reason??"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
I'm not sure. it wasn't like he was swearing at everyone or saying bad things, he was just apologizing for coming off the wrong way.I've replied to some of your posts, only to find they were removed, too. I've seen some of my posts disappear as well.
really,wow, well if you want i can tell you some ideas i have about this matter."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
yes, please do
i think it is them trying make it seem like he wasn't here...i havent heard from thim in...well ever since this post.thats my openion...i'm not to sure."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
once againe im vary sorry i seemd mad befor i really wasent i no we all have are apenyans <sorry bad speller> but yeah i do see y you guys did say ed would win i should wacth the show more i ges heheh but iny way im am sorry that i sounded mad i really wasent at all im just a huge fan of sasuke i ges dont no y heheh but i promis to be more open minded to your guys comment once again sorry i feal bad not to sound gay tho but yeah i do like your guys comments and hope you guys will steal reply to what i put on hear but yeah sorry for long speach heheh
to start a new one!! who do you guys think would win in a fight black suit spider man or iron man cant wate to see the movie buy the way heheh <of iron man>
the first rule of fighting is never under estamate your apponate...NEVER.thats in any fight.and ed might be short but he can fight."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
i say ed even though saske is badass in shippuden ed is better... "By night their is a †Lone Wolf†, By day their is †KinRyuu†..."
ed would defintly win
satsujin ken mumyo jinpu ryu mizuchi (With out light, Let the Divine Wind Flow)
yea man Ed wud win
Ed is a kick ass little guy. sasuke may be a ninja but ed has alchemy."All of human wisdom can be summed up in two words - wait and Hope."
hey don't call him little....he might be listening. I will devour their hearts and crap out their souls. They will all taste oblivion....which tastes just like red bull...which is disgusting. -O'malley (RvB)
ed allllllllllllllllllllll theeeeeeeeee wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! he rules."people do not need violence to solve there problems."
Yo,let me put this out there, but i didn't want to start a new thread. The Major vs. Batman - who would win?
wow, damn good match up. Cyborg vs Superhero. Upon meditating for a while on this question, I have to go with the Major.Not only can she take massive damage, she's super strong, she is just as good at hand to hand as Batman, and has the added ability of being able to shut off parts of herself ( like pain receptors) in order to keep going. That not withstanding, I still like Batman. It was a very hard decision to make.
the major kick's major ass...lol"people do not need violence to solve there problems."
what about terry mcginnis, from batman beyond? that suit is stronger and has upgraded equipment like wings and jets that allow him to fly. that might make it a more even match against the major. I will devour their hearts and crap out their souls. They will all taste oblivion....which tastes just like red bull...which is disgusting. -O'malley (RvB)
I'm going to say ED..................................
edward from fma "You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
"blood isnt enough...."
naruto shippuden
I think that Naruto would win.
EDWARD sowy
ed would win x]

Don't apologize Coryndon for taking me to task on the mediocre job
We're developing rapid prototypes, not commercial-on-the-shelf
products. MITRE is an R&D center; we can't legally produce COTS
products. In our case, 'final products' are working prototypes. There
was relevant text before the 'Java or JSP' line: "Ideally, this person
will also have experience in some, or all, of the following:"... I'll
massage the job description to make this clear.
Alder/Coryndon: Designers often have to make their ideas/prototypes
jump to life... or limp to life using html, CSS, javascript, etc. In
many R&D and academic settings (and elsewhere), the production pipeline
is not honed or absolute. Designers often fill roles of business
analyst, information architect, research scientist, visual designer,
marketing/branding proponent, scripter, interaction designer, etc. I'm
not asking for Design folks to forge JSPs and get into the nuts and
bolts of Java, but I expect them to understand the engineering process
(just as architects know the building/construction process). Design is
not a discipline. It's action, collaboration, and experience. It's not
expected for someone to be an expert in ID and CS, but they may know
the fundamentals of each... Note: We have 20 engineers who write
production-quality code.
Cindy: Mentioning a particular slant towards open source or java gives
potential candidates an idea of our engineering ethos, no more.
Thanks for the good comments.

Flu outbreak hits Erie nursing home
Previous versions of this story did not specify that the five people diagnosed with flu at Saint Mary's Home of Erie, 607 E. 26th St., all live in the facility's residential apartments.
Residents of an Erie nursing home are taking antiviral medicine every day in an effort to stop a flu outbreak.
Five confirmed influenza cases have been reportedin the residential apartments at Saint Mary's Home of Erie, 607 E. 26th St., said Dorothy Candib, M.D., Saint Mary's medical director.
"We have made the decision to give the antiviral medication Tamiflu to all the residents who can take it, about 75 people total," Candib said. "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends it preventively for nursing-home residents if flu has been found there."
Erie County, like much of the United States, is in the midst of a severe flu season. Flu is widespread across Pennsylvania, according to the CDC, and Erie County already has reported 396 cases through Thursday afternoon.
This year's flu strains seem to be targeting older people who are the most vulnerable to life-threatening complications, like pneumonia. About 18 percent of the county's flu victims are 65 or older and another 14 percent are between 50 and 64 years old.
"Flu is especially dangerous for nursing-home residents because they are often frail and don't have the reserves to fight it," said Candib, a geriatrician. "It can be very serious for them. It can cause death."
Tamiflu is not a flu vaccine. It is a prescribed medicine that can reduce the risk and severity of influenza, but it must be taken every day, Candib said.
"We are prescribing it once a day ... for two weeks or until seven days after the last flu case is reported here," Candib said.
Most Saint Mary's residents had a flu shot this fall, Candib said. Taking Tamiflu is also advised because the flu vaccine is not 100 percent effective, especially in older people.
No cases have been reported at Saint Mary's at Asbury Ridge, said its director of nursing.
The CDC does not recommend Tamiflu preventively for older people who live on their own, said Charlotte Berringer, R.N., of the Erie County Department of Health. Tamiflu is recommended for the general population once a person develops flu-like symptoms.
"Because people in a nursing home live in such a confined area, and they are such a vulnerable population, the CDC recommends Tamiflu preventively," Berringer said.
Flu vaccine remains available at many locations throughout Erie County, including physician offices, pharmacies, urgent-care centers and LifeWorks Erie, 406 Peach St.
Berringer recommended getting a flu shot as soon as possible because it takes two weeks for the body to develop resistance from the vaccine.

WASHINGTON — Hundreds of warmly dressed residents, families and children gathered on Main Street tonight to celebrate the annual "Hometown Holiday" festivities here.
While waiting for Santa Claus to arrive, families took horse and carriage rides up Main Street and met with life-sized characters, like the Gingerbread Man, Frosty the Snowman and the Grinch, from their favorite Christmas stories.
At 7 p.m., Santa arrived on a fire truck. The tree lighting followed shortly, as well as a Menorah lighting and a prayer.

HUNTSVILLE (AP) - Spared two months ago on the day when terrorist attacks disrupted the federal government, Jeffery Tucker was executed Wednesday night for fatally shooting a Hood County man more than 13 years ago.
"I'd like to tell the Humphreys family that I'm sorry," he said as he looked at Wilton Humphreys' widow, Peggy. "It was just a simple accident and if my death will give you any solace, I gladly give that to you."
He told his attorneys he knew they were upset him for stopping his appeals. "I know you wanted to continue my appeal, but you know my reasons," he said. "Have a happy heart knowing I leave this world in peace."
He then began reciting the Lord's Prayer as his eyes shut.
When Tucker finished the prayer, Humphreys' son, Jon Brad Humphreys, said "Amen" with him.
Humphreys' family comforted each other after Tucker's death.
Tucker took two deep breaths. His eyes, behind thick-rimmed black glasses, were shut. He made a slight gurgling sound as the drugs took effect. He died 11 minutes after the lethal injection began.
He was pronounced dead at 6:26 p.m.
Tucker was scheduled for lethal injection on Sept. 11, the same day government offices, including the federal courts, were shut in the immediate response to the attacks on New York and Washington, D.C.
Gov. Rick Perry gave Tucker a 30-day reprieve.

I'm walkin' on sunshine, oh-oh.~
Your favorite Karp Mod was here.
You brought up a good point.
However, out of the responses I've seen here on wiichat, they are more desparate, then actually needing the boost (e.g., to boost an alt, etc.)
For example, when you see people boosting on COD, what's your response?
First would usually be pissed off, because, look at all the videos of people stopping boosters.
People have been perma-banned because of boosting.
You're cheating the game.
I don't view leveling up as a chore, I see it as a challenge. It's only a chore if you make it into one.
If you want to get a grasp of a good majority of the weapons, play heroes.
Pick up dead 56ers weapons.
I understand it's a personal choice, and I completely respect that (in some sort of fashion), but I still view it as completely unnecessary (See: COD rant).
The sense of accomplishment is not *inherently* needed for a game, but it becomes a major factor of enjoyment.

PM me before adding any FCs
So two arguments on your part so far.
1) Cheating the game
2) Challenge, not chore.
On cheating the game - The game isn't being cheated at all. In fact, not boosting means that the game is cheating whoever bought it. I mean, think about it - a person pays money for a game, but the game withholds certain portions and tells you to "earn it". Isn't the game cheating you? (By this logic, I would advocate that everyone get boosted. Which would mean that everyone is on a relatively even playing field)
On challenge, not chore - Not much to say here, tbh. It's pretty much all up to one's own opinion.
On boosting in general - One major side-effect of boosting are people spamming high level, overpowered weapons (masty, proxy, etc). However, I don't believe that the spamming is caused by boosting, since a legit high level can also spam. Rather, I think that these OP items shouldn't have been in the game in the first place. Although I do agree that boosting has propagated this problem.
(Reminder: Devil's Advocate here :P)
Good song, btw.

Oi, y'all keep it clean.
This time...
Also, while I'm here, I s'pose I'll impart my thoughts on this... Again.
While I'm no personal advocate of boosting and I damn-well earn my levels and prestiges in multiplayer games, I certainly know where boosters come from. Some gamers do have lives and would prefer to not dump a month of their gaming time into a not-so-fun grind to unlock things. Others simply don't have fun with the daily grind (I damn-well don't... I wouldn't call level grinding a challenge either, since it only takes time to level up, not skill). Some games' progression and level-up systems are simply poorly designed; or at least, not designed with time in mind.
Whether you're boosting by abusing a meet-up with friends to get the best XP possible through certain steps, or you're hackin', boosting is hardly somethin' evil that only impatient, terribly unskilled scrubs partake in. Sure, they don't earn their stars the proper way, and they damn-well don't deserve the respect that a legit 56'er got. But on the other hand, if you've earned it legitimately, how 'bout you (rightfully) gloat about how your determination and skill got you to the place you did, rather than belittle those who didn't?
I'm 5th Prestige level 50 in Red Dead Redemption (the highest level). It doesn't take as long as becoming a 56 in Goldeneye, but you see almost NOONE at that level these days, and still quite few at even half that level. There's a reason; it ****in' SUCKS to get that high of a level. You have the play the game in a literal grind, doing nothing but repetitive and boring grinding methods if you intend to get there "fast" (about 96 hours gameplay total; and that's the best grinding method available. And note, grinding [playing with the goal of gettin' the best XP payout], not even boosting). Otherwise, doing nothing but playing the game as intended, it takes even more time than gettin' to 56 in Goldeneye.
I ****in' hated playing the game solely to level up. It's terrible. I get requests for hax to let them be 56 as well, and since I know how nasty it is to grind my way up, I don't shoo them away with insults. I just tell 'em I earned it legit, and never hear from them again. And if you can't find it in yourself to be nice to all the illegitimate losers, at least don't be a dick about it. There's a difference in being prideful, and being an asshole elitist. The former is admirable, while the latter isn't.
TL;DR: I don't approve of boosting, but I don't mind it either. Ain't like someone is hacking the game and destroying your score/trolling you/whatever.
... Wait a minute, no double posting! ._.
Well I just don't have the time to wait till 56 any more... a 4year old, a 2year old and a 1week old... kinda busy with all that, but I still wanna get there. Thats my view on it. Sure it will NOT be "legit" and it may piss off those FEW who got there "legit" but I will get there... just taking the short cut, not the scenic route.

I honestly don't feel like GE is cheating me. Well, now that you've put it in that light, I suppose it might. There ARE numerous things that Eurocom has done wrong w/ the game (map design in docks, for example).
I suppose it goes back to one's pride in saying they're legit, or not.
I'm still going to push the fact that the majority of boosters here are doing it for, what I believe, "no goody reasons".
What's the difference between say, someone that has gotten to lvl 40 legit, and then boosts a couple of levels compared to a level 10 boosting ALL (ALLthethings.jpg) the way to 56?
That's where I'm deriving the majority of my argument here.
Isn't the point of COD to level up? In it's most basic form?
In fact, a lot of games are based on the 'leveling' up concept.
I just honestly don't approve of boosting, simple as that.
Although, I'm afraid that I'll become a hypocrite of my word, so that's also a reason why I'm refraining from boosting as much as I can.

^ Last I checked, the most base objective of playing any game is to have fun, not level up. :P
And on the subject of CoD, I believe the second most important objective up from "having fun" is camping liek a leetle beech.
Ummm!!! Karp mod... are you highjacking this (clearing throat) GOLDENEYE THREAD with all this FISH (COD) BS?!?!?!?!?!?! LOL

Alright everybody, the last week has been kinda confusing for ZR, so listen up:
1) This clan is NOT disbanding. Any members who have left believing this are welcome back.
2) Since James (Insiidious) has joined another clan, leadership has been passed on. To me. Yay.
3) I've decided to keep this clan less uptight and more fun. Fun is good.
TL;DR- This clan is alive and I'm the new leader.

40 minutes from Nantes, a few kilometers from the Loire, Clisson is located in the heart of the vineyard of Nantes, at the junction of the Loire-Atlantique, Vendée and Anjou. Nourished by the earth Sevre and Maine, two rivers that give character to the Muscadet of the same name, the valley turns Clisson Italian and Breton when we think its heritage. The unique historic city where the tile and brick blend with slate and granite. Landscapes of vineyards, cellars wine villages with friendly ... Clisson the rhythm of the pleasures of the Muscadet vineyards dominated.
History: At the crossroads of three ancient provinces, Anjou, Poitou, Brittany, Clisson has a fascinating history that traces the time until about the 11th century. Very prosperous period of the Middle Ages and belonging to the Duchy of Brittany still mark many buildings. Famous people have lived in the imposing castle Clisson Olivier as the fifth or Constable Francis II, father of Anne of Brittany ... During the wars of Vendée, XVIIIth century, the valley suffered the brunt of the violence of the fighting. The arrival of three characters love Italy then constitutes the starting point for a renaissance: the brothers Frederick and Cacault Lemot introduce the Italian architecture in the reconstruction of the city.

Rush hour is just kicking into gear, and there's been a wreck on Cosgrove Avenue.
The 911 call comes into the county's Consolidated Dispatch Center and Stephanie Fox answers by the second ring.
"What is the nature of your emergency?" she asks.
Fox hears "traffic accident" and clicks a box on one of the seven computer screens in front of her. The system tells her the call is coming from Cosgrove and she has the cursor ready as she asks: "What is your exact location?"
She types "Azalea" in front of Cosgrove.
It's just a fender bender, but Fox goes through a long list of questions — Is anyone hurt? Are you in a safe location?
These questions appear on a screen, but Fox knows them by heart. And 30 seconds in, Fox tells the man — one of the drivers — help is on the way.
Actually, help was on the way the second she finished typing "Azalea."
That's when Fox sent the initial report to a dispatcher, who in turn radioed North Charleston police.
By the time the man learned this, a patrol car was rolling.
Cries for help
Charleston County's 911 center has been under fire since the news broke that one of its call-takers, Dezerea Shelton, is accused of failing to report 45 calls to dispatchers over an eight-month period.
She would answer and route dozens of calls in a day and then, once every couple of weeks, just wouldn't send one to dispatch. It's bizarre.
Shelton is facing charges of misconduct and obstruction of justice, and her colleagues have been left to take the fallout. And, frankly, these folks have enough on them without this.
Handling emergency calls is harder than the work most people do. For 12-hour shifts, dispatchers and call-takers sit in a dark room illuminated by dozens of computer and television screens and answer cries for help.
They don't have personal pictures on their desks, and they can't carry in their iPhone, iPad, or pretty much anything with an on-off switch.
Instead they watch screens that show emergency vehicles on call, two that monitor emergency radio frequencies, one that shows maps of the county, another that lists routed calls, one that shows calls in progress and the one in front of them, where they fill out forms on the calls they are taking.
And they take calls — sometimes more than 100 in a shift. They are the people who answer the most recognizable phone number in the world.
Sure, there are cranks. Some people actually just want to talk. And now and then people call asking for a phone number — because they couldn't find it anywhere else.
But quite often, the people who take 911 calls have to manage dangerous situations, knowing that if they do anything wrong, someone could get hurt, or die.
Jason Scott has been a 911 call-taker for two years, seven months and nine days now. In that time, he has calmed people in the middle of a home invasion, directed someone on how to give CPR to a dying man — and even delivered two babies by phone.
It's a stressful, often thankless job.
"This is not the kind of job you stick around for if you don't like it," Scott says.
And that's why everyone at the Consolidated Dispatch Center is having such a hard time understanding why Shelton allegedly did what she did.
A better system
Fox went through her 18 weeks of training with Shelton.
She says the entire incident has been disheartening. But they are a family, and they've pulled together. Their biggest regret is that more people don't understand what they do.
These folks are very much like police officers, firefighters or EMS personnel — doing important work for modest pay.
They now have the same problem as other emergency workers. One cop does something wrong, and the entire force is called into question. Apparently it's the same with 911.
These call-takers and dispatchers understand this. They are determined to watch each other, back each other up, and make sure it doesn't happen again. As a result of Shelton's actions, the county has taken steps to make the system better.
It's the proper response. But then, response is what these folks are all about.
That news should give people some comfort. But they should also feel confident that when they call 911, the folks at the dispatch center understand the stakes.
"There is no margin for error," Scott says.

By John A. Wott, Director Emeritus
Today it is difficult to find much open space when you walk about the Washington Park Arboretum. Often you have trouble seeing the sky. I have often heard visitors remark, "How I love the Arboretum, it never changes, only seasonally." Several years ago, I had a gentleman tell me that he drove through the Arboretum daily and it had not changed a bit in 25years. It is interesting how subtly plants go up and around us, without us realizing it – that is, until we need to prune or remove them. Plants, particularly conifers, in the Northwest can grow almost every day of the year, anytime the temperature is above 40 degrees F. No wonder we have such large conifers!
This is a picture taken July 16, 1948, soon after the Washington Park Arboretum officially began. It was taken from the lower part of East Interlaken Boulevard looking east across Lake Washington Boulevard. In the center is Rhododendron Glen. Look at the sparseness of trees and shrubs and you can actually see the "Glen" from East Interlaken Boulevard. You can also see the small meandering stream coming down the hillside and the small pond along Azalea Way.
Today the curatorial and maintenance staffs need to manage the growth of the plants, the collections and the native matrix (native trees that are not accessioned). It is a challenge to allow enough space for plants to grow to their intended size and shape. They make decisions on pruning and removal on a daily basis. The decisions they make enable us to enjoy the true beauty of each plant as well as the beauty of the panorama.

An afternoon conference co-sponsored by the Coalition for a Realistic Foreign Policy and Current History magazine, and hosted by Swarthmore College.
In recent months, scholars and policymakers have debated the perils and promise of an American Empire. Some argue that the United States has always been an empire, and that we are only now coming to terms with our imperial status. Others argue that the Founders opposed empire on moral and practical grounds, and that empire runs contrary to deeply-held American traditions and values. How do we characterize the conduct of U.S. foreign policy in the 21st century? If the United States is not an empire, what is it? If we cannot call our foreign policies "imperial," what are they? Speakers will consider these and other questions at this half-day conference.
Introduction by Conference Co-Chairs
Christopher Preble, Director of Foreign Policy Studies, Cato Institute
Bill Finan, Editor, Current History
1:00 pm - Keynote Address: "The American Imperium"
John Mearsheimer, R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science, Univ. of Chicago
2:00 pm - Panel 1: International Reactions to American Empire:
Balancing, Balking, Bandwagoning, and Bashing
Seyom Brown, Lawrence A. Wien Professor of International Cooperation, Brandeis University
Leon Hadar, Research Fellow in Foreign Policy Studies, The Cato Institute
Rajan Menon, Monroe J. Rathbone Professor of International Relations, Lehigh University
The international community has responded, and is likely to respond in the future, in a variety of different ways to the spread of the American Empire. The responses move beyond traditional balance-of-power action and reaction, whereby would be rivals form alliances to check American power. The panelists will discuss how America's imperial practices are responsible for new forms of international cooperation and the formation of ad hoc coalitions, not always easily recognizable by policymakers and analysts.
3:30 pm - Panel 2: The American Empire in Context: Past, Present, and Future
Stanley Kober, Research Fellow in Foreign Policy Studies, The Cato Institute
David Isenberg, Senior Analyst, British American Security Information Council
John Peterson, President, The Arlington Institute
The Bush administration's National Security Strategy pledges to "make the world not just safer, but better," but in the course of imposing our values by force, we compromise our long-standing tradition of not interfering in the affairs of others. The panelists will compare American policies with those of empires past, will consider the details of the U.S. troop presence throughout the globe, and will propose a new view of American Empire from the perspective of future generations.
The conference is free of charge, and is open to the public. Registration is not required. If you would like to learn more about the Coalition, visit www.realisticforeignpolicy.org.

About the �puppy lemon law�
Senate Bill 1639, or the �puppy lemon law,� was signed Aug. 17 by Gov. Pat Quinn at Wiggley Field, a dog park in Chicago.
The law affects only dog...
About the �puppy lemon law�
Senate Bill 1639, or the �puppy lemon law,� was signed Aug. 17 by Gov. Pat Quinn at Wiggley Field, a dog park in Chicago.
The law affects only dogs and cats that were purchased from pet stores. It provides that an owner can receive a full refund for the purchase price of a dog or cat if, after 21 days since the animal was purchased from the store, that animal has died from a disease that can be traced back to the time it was in the pet store.
If the dog or cat develops an illness or disease, symptoms of a disease, or signs of parasites including fleas and ticks within the 21-day period, the owner has multiple options. He or she can return the dog or cat to the pet store for a full refund, exchange the animal, or the store can pay the buyer up to the amount of the purchase price toward the animal�s medical bills.
The amount of time available for a remedy increases to one year if the dog or cat has a congenital or hereditary condition.
Pet stores are required to report any disease outbreaks to the state.
Illinois is the 22nd state to have a so-called �lemon law,� which provides recourse for people who go to pet shops to buy pets that they later find to have an illness.
Source: www.avma.org
When Scott Sumner went to purchase a new dog, he spotted a puppy that was running around and playing with all the other puppies.
That was two months ago. Since then, Leon the English bulldog has had pneumonia, ringworm and is now awaiting surgery to treat �cherry eye,� a condition commonly found in bulldogs where a mass protrudes from the dog�s eyelid.
�The things my dog has gone through no dog should have to go through,� said Sumner, of Naperville, who purchased Leon from a pet store in Chicago.
Like Sumner, pet owners usually can�t predict that a healthy-looking animal could have a serious, in some cases life-threatening, illness when they go to purchase it from a pet store.
A new Illinois law aims to offer more protection to would-be pet owners.
On Jan. 1, Senate Bill 1639, commonly referred to as the �puppy lemon law,� went into effect. The law states that if an animal dies within 21 days after it was purchased, the owner can either replace the animal or receive a full refund. It also provides that if a buyer notices his or her pet has an illness within 21 days of that pet�s purchase, the buyer has the option of returning that pet to the store for a full refund, or the pet store must pay up to the original purchase price of the animal toward medical costs.
In either case, the law says, a licensed veterinarian must state in writing that the animal has the illness the buyer says it has.
Dr. Clyde Dunphy, a veterinarian at Capitol Illini Veterinary Services in Springfield, said that because of pressure from people who disliked seeing puppies in pet shops, cats and dogs aren�t sold in Springfield-area pet stores. That type of pet shop is more common in Chicago and St. Louis.
But that doesn�t mean Dunphy, and other local vets, won�t examine store-bought cats and dogs.
He recommends buyers bring their pets in to see a vet within 48-72 hours after purchase.
�A lot of people don�t know what�s normal or abnormal with their pet,� Dunphy said. �A physical examination provides the opportunity to talk with the veterinarian about proper feeding and how to take care of the pet. The sooner that conversation takes place, the better.�
Additionally, an early visit to the veterinarian will help better determine where an illness actually came from, which becomes �more difficult after 19-20 days.�
With dogs, Dunphy said he would be looking for an upper respiratory condition or the fact that it is �not thriving,� meaning that the dog is not playful or not eating. In cats, Dunphy will look mostly for respiratory viruses. Indicators of a respiratory virus include �matting or crustiness of the eyes� and sneezing.
Page 2 of 2 - If Dunphy determined that an animal had an illness or disease, he would write a statement to the store that would include the illness, what the dog or cat was being treated with, and where the illness could have been contracted.
The new law doesn�t apply to breeders or shelters. But Deana Corbin, executive director of Springfield�s Animal Protective League, recognizes the possibility that this law could mean more animals in the shelter.
�I hope not, there are so many already,� she said. �For the pet stores that are responsible and doing the right thing, the hope is they�ll take the animals out and get them the medical care they need.�
Like Dunphy, however, Corbin believes this law could ensure there are healthier dogs and cats available at the pet shops.
�This law had the support of pet shop owners in Chicago,� Dunphy said. �I think when you have the people who are going to be affected most by it support it, that�s a good thing. This is just one more important reason for them to make sure they�re selling healthy pets to people.�

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) "Pick any word you want, trauma, devastated, loss beyond belief and beyond words," said Maureen Aissa of Binghamton.
She issued a public statement about the fire that killed a 17 year old son and destroyed the family's home at 20 Milford Street Thursday.
Jeffrey Aissa did not make it out of the home. He was one of 8 children Maureen adopted. She also has one biological daughter.
A statement issued to the media included the following quotes from the mother.
"We want to thank everyone for their thought, concern and generosity."
"Pick any word you want, trauma, devastated, loss beyond belief and beyond words. I can't even begin to grasp at anything that begins to describe the loss of a child. I could never replace my little Jeffery.
I haven't started thinking about what's next. I'd say it's day by day right now but it's more like minute by minute. My family always has been, is and continues to come first. I want to make sure they are taken care of."
"First off you need to know that the neighbors on our block have been there for a long time. They are always, every day wonderful. When this happened there they rushed out in a flash to help anyway they could.
There is a new neighbor on the street who rushed over to attempt to catch my daughter Arianna as she jumped from the roof of our house. Without his assistance who knows what would have happened. These are neighbors who in every way are wonderful. They are perfect and I thank them from the bottom of my heart for everything they did then and are doing now."
Calling Hours for the Aissa family are Sunday, March 20 at J.A. McCormack Sons Funeral Home from 2 p.m to 5 p.m..
It is located at 141 Main Street in Binghamton.
Funeral Services will take place Monday, March 21 at 10 a.m. at St Paul's Church, 15 Doubleday Street in Binghamton.

A carbon monoxide incident on Sunday in Columbia, Lancaster County, sent two children and an adult to the hospital.
The incident happened on the 300 block of North Second Street. Crews from UGI stopped the leak once firefighters pinpointed it.
"Upon our arrival here, we did some immediate metering, and found a significant gas and CO problem in one of the structures," said Columbia Fire Chief Scott Ryno.
UGI says the problem was the result of improper venting of the heater.

Emphatic agreement with something that's been texted to you. On old T9 phones, "zur" is what it would type instead of "yep,"; if you strongly agree with something, you forgo editing it and just leave it as "zur," indicating that your agreement is so categorical that you couldn't be bothered to delay your response by taking the time to edit "zur" to read "yep."

Deborah Thompson, Terri Miller and Principal John Jenkins at North Fork Elementary receive pedometers from the RESA?8 'Let's Move' grant.
Chosen schools must participate in 15 minutes of physical activity each day, in addition to physical education and recess. Price and Thompson, as the teacher leaders and grant recipients, will provide support and direction to the rest of their staff. Thompson will also work with Rod Cooper, health and PE teacher. The whole premise is that movement will improve student learning.
According to the latest educational research, movement is essential in the learning process. Every school in RESA 8 had the opportunity to apply for the grant. Schools had the option to request $500, an iPad 2 or a class set of pedometers.
Price was the second to receive an iPad 2. Price said, "I am very excited to get the program started and use my iPad for presentations to staff and students. Students can participate in physical activity by following along with demonstration programs downloaded to the iPad."
Thompson said she is very excited to get the program started and is going to use the pedometers in order to make students more aware of the importance of exercise and being physically fit.
"Teachers are always looking for innovative ways for students to be actively engaged in their learning," she said. Students can participate in physical activity by tracking the amount of steps they take during various activities.
Timothy Woodward, assistant principal of Pendleton Middle School, was very pleased.
"I will support Price in her endeavor to include more physical activity for students," he said.
Terri Miller, RESA 8 Regional School Wellness Specialist, presented the grant to Krystal and provided a brief staff development to the middle school teachers including ideas as to how to implement the program.
John M. Jenkins, principal of North Fork Elementary School, commented, "We think it is important for children to move throughout the day to improve mental abilities and well as physical abilities."
The grant is made available through the West Virginia Office of Healthy Schools and the RESA 8 Coordinated School-Public Health Program. To learn more about RESA 8's educational programs in Berkeley, Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, Mineral, Morgan and Pendleton counties, call 304-267-3595 or visit the website resa8.org.

A 65-year-old Hillsboro man is in serious condition after walking face-first into a MAX train Thursday afternoon.
According to Hillsboro Police Department reports, Juventino Avila-Lopez was running or walking quickly at about 3 p.m., crossing the eastbound tracks at 12th Avenue in Hillsboro.
Witnesses told police Avila-Lopez seemed focused on catching the westbound train, which was stopped at the Washington Street platform. Police believe he walked directly into the front right corner of the eastbound train, which was moving less than 5 mph as it pulled up to the platform to stop. The train operator didn't have time to react.
The impact sent Avila-Lopez onto the sidewalk, where he was treated by paramedics until being driven to Emanuel Medical Center in Portland.
He suffered serious facial injuries but is expected to survive, said HPD Lt. Mike Rouches.
Rouches said no citations are expected. MAX traffic was interrupted for about 40 minutes.

Effective: February 1, 2007
Revised: January 29, 2007
Review Date: January 2009
Responsible Party: Athletic Director
Performance affecting drugs undermine the integrity of athletic competition, which is grounded on the principal that athletic achievement is the result of individual and team ability, training and motivation. Tolerance of drug abuse by student athletes encourages others to use drugs to equalize the competition. Drug use may also pose a risk of injury or even long-term harm to self and others. Additionally, drug use by student athletes damages the institution in the eyes of the public. Given these causes for concern, the colleges and universities of the Frontier Conference have undertaken a serious review of their drug education and drug screening policies. The Frontier Conference is committed to deterring the use of drugs by college and university athletes.
Policy Statement
"Montana State University-Northern is dedicated to promoting and preserving the integrity of athletics. The use of illegal substances is not consistent with the goals of this university or this department and will not be tolerated."
Montana State University-Northern is resolved to support positive actions designed to assist student athletes striving to cope with escalating substance abuse problems in our society. However, we will not tolerate the use of illegal substances by our student athletes.
Therefore it is the policy of this University that the use of illegal substances during the athlete's competitive season is strictly prohibited. Use will be defined as:
- Drug related charges filed by any law enforcement agency.
- Possession of illegal substances or paraphernalia.
- Reliable knowledge of use or possession presented by any coach or trainer.
Any student/athlete found to be in violation of the above would be immediately suspended from athletic competition and practice for the remainder of the season. Discipline may be mitigated, at the discretion of the Athletic Director, based on circumstances and future compliance with the substance abuse policy. Compliance may include, but would not be limited to, mandatory drug testing at the expense of the student/athlete. Student/Athlete status may be fully restored following acquittal or dropped charges.
Policy for the illegal use of legal substances (i.e., use of prescription medications not prescribed specifically to the user) will be the same as the above.
All rules established by the NAIA regarding the use of Alcohol and Tobacco will be enforced. Students must follow all local, state and federal laws regarding the use of alcohol and tobacco. Discipline will include a minimum one game suspension unless, at the discretion of the Athletic Director, mitigating circumstances warrant reduction of said penalty.
This policy is meant to augment local, state and federal law and any existing policies required by this school, conference and the NAIA. Student/athletes are expected to know and follow all applicable law and policy. This policy represents a minimum required by the athletic department, it is not meant to limit standards that coaches may have within their respective programs.
Due Process Procedure
Student/athletes and/or their parents may contest any disciplinary action in the following order:
- Consultation with the athletic director.
- Review by a panel of two head coaches, not from the student/athlete's sport, and the faculty athletic representative. Panel may make recommendations to the athletic director regarding the extent of the disciplinary action.
- Final review by the Vice Chancellor in charge of student affairs.
At the discretion of the panel or Vice Chancellor, reviews may be limited to the documented facts of the case or may include interviews with the student/athlete and others wanting to offer testimony.

Web applications with Ruby and Rails
On the Right Track
Most web libraries make 90 percent of the job simple and the rest impossible. Rails,an open source framework programmed in Ruby,is flexible enough to succeed with that remaining 10 percent.
Web development is often characterized by quick and dirty hacks with a colorful mixture of program code and HTML. However, an effort is underway to bring a more formal structure to web programming. For example, Rails [1] uses Ruby to implement a classical Model View Controller (MVC) framework, something that the world of smalltalk has used for some time. The MVC framework abstracts the data processing in the model from the GUI-based manipulation code (controller) and the representation code (view), see Figure 1. This technique of abstracting the data from the data processing methods can be applied to anything from a database table to a workflow model for a largescale enterprise. The model is partly or completely visualized in the view. Controllers react to user input (among other things) to initiate status changes within the model.

Woolf Works
Royal Opera House
Prijs vanaf € 109.80
Royal Ballet resident choreographer Wayne McGregor creates his first full-evening ballet, inspired by the works of Virginia Woolf. Throughout her fiction, Woolf searched for forms that defied the false order of traditional narrative conventions and enabled her to depict reality as she perceived it.: heightened, startling and poignant – the experience of beings at once both physical body and uncontained essence. In this new full – length work, McGregor recreates the synaesthetic collision of form and substance at play in Woolf's novels, bringing to life her world of 'granite and rainbow'.

Mr. Jason O'Donnell has been elected to serve a one-year term to finish up for a resigned crook and he picks a fight with the governor.
Typical Hudson County politician, guess he now figures for life. Make a lot of noise, do nothing for 25 years, mooch off the public, then collect your golden parachute and retire if he doesn't get indicted before then.
He's supposed to be a civil servant, but it seems to me he's not at all civil and he sure didn't sound like a servant. Our state government is broken and we send a man to Trenton with a crane and a wrecking ball to help the governor make things better.
Hudson County politics are sickening. We can't seem to get ourselves out of the stranglehold of machine politics.
It looks like the people will have to start a Tea Party to get our government back. The hacks have controlled us long enough.
Remember, if you don't vote, don't complain.

I was woken up this morning by a call from my editor wondering if my family was being affected by the fires in San Diego County. They were fine when I spoke with my mom yesterday, but I just got off the phone with her, and my dad, sister and she were all on the road, in separate cars packed to the nines, heading for my grandfather's house on the coast.
I remember this happening four years ago, when all of Southern California was burning. But my childhood home was never really threatened then. It certainly is now, so I pray and wait for updates.
POWAY—- Many held out as long as they dared, but as the clock passed 8 p.m. Sunday, the numbers of fire refugees began to increase rapidly at an evacuation center set up in the gymnasium at Poway High School.
The families didn't stay long.
As the evening wore on, authorities said they were forced to move the evacuees to a hastily set-up center at Miramar High School because of poor air quality created by smoke and ash.
Before the move, however, a Red Cross representative said there were about 40 evacuated Ramona residents already registered, with more arriving steadily to wait out the wind-driven Witch Creek fire that was bearing down on their homes.
Charles Davis and his teenage daughter, Lorissa, arrived at about 7:45 p.m. after leaving their home in the hills north of Ramona at about 7 p.m.
"The velocity of the wind up there in the canyons and hills is just unbelievable. They came and told us we had to evacuate, so we put the dogs in the car and we left," Davis said.
He said he cleared brush as far away from his home as possible, but nervously added that, because half of his 4.7 acres is on land considered environmentally sensitive, he was not able to cut as big a buffer zone as he would have liked.
"In some places it's 40 or 50 feet from the house," he said. "We did everything we could to prepare. It's in God's hands now."

We'll take Freak Game Show Host Injuries for 500, Alex.
Jeopardy!'s Alex Trebek was the one facing questions this time when he was seen hobbling on crutches Wednesday at the National Geographic World Championship at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.
"It happened at 2:30 a.m., chasing a burglar down the hallway of my San Francisco hotel when my Achilles tendon ruptured and I then fell on carpet, bruising the other leg in process," Trebek, 70, explains to Patch.com. "Surgery on Friday."
Police confirmed to the San Francisco Chronicle that a hotel guest had in fact woke up early Wednesday to find somebody in the room, then gave chase. Police didn't identify the victim or the hotel, but said the victim was injured.
A 56-year-old woman was apprehended by hotel security and booked by police for investigation of burglary and receiving stolen property.
