On Tap Today: Remembering Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters
Howlin' Wolf died in 1976, Muddy Waters in 1983, but there are musicians still around today who played with the blues legends, who are keeping their music alive today. Musicians like Jody Williams, a guitarist who played with Wolf, and Bob Margolin, Waters' guitarist for seven years, and Grammy winner James Cotton, who played with both Wolf and Waters.
Those three musicians, as well as the Fabulous Thunderbirds and multi-instrumentalist Tinsley Ellis, come together for a special Wolf and Waters tribute show, "Blues at the Crossroads II." The show begins at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater.

The iconoclastic David Mamet is thinking a lot about both hot-button topics in "Race," his provocative play exploring the dynamic between three lawyers — two black and one white — as they wrestle with their latest case, involving a rich, older white man accused of raping a young black woman. »Read Full Article

The opposite of a hard-on; when a penis is not erect and its size is unpredictable.

Can you define these popular missing words?
A flacid (limp) penis. Antonym: hard-on. A soft-on is generally produced by a woman with absolutely no sexual appeal.
Rosie O'Donnel gives me a real soft-on.

From Schwenksville
Posts: 33
Got to the stream around 10:30 and there were 6 other cars already at the bridge below the hatchery. I went further down stream where there were no people and started catching on about the 5th cast. Just like the other guys have been saying, there are a lot of fish. I caught at least 20 and missed even more. Everyone I saw was catching fish. The largest rainbow I got was around 18" and all the others were at least 10". Eggs were working best for me with a BH prince and baetis each catching a few. I've never seen more cress bugs in my life. Thousands and thousands of them everywhere.
If you need a day full of constant action, fish the Tully below the limestone springs hatchery.

A wheel sweetheart
I was at an amusement park in line for the ferris wheel. When it was going to start, my crush sat in the same seat with me. I pointed out to him that there were plenty of seats open but he said, "I'd rather sit next to you even if every single seat was open." And then he kissed me! We have been dating for five months now!

Onimusha Warlords (Playstation 2)
As spoken by Babe Ruth in the Sandlot, "Heroes get remembered but legends never die," this segment of milk w/ ice is devoted to revisiting games of old that ought to take special remembrance for their challenge, uniqueness, and (questionable) current playability. Yes, all these titles are in my VG (video game) pantheon but notoriety can share a controller port with notoriousness.
Omnimusha Warlords was a Capcom release for the Playstation 2 in January 2001 (to possibly the driest console launch since the Jaguar). Ironically and luckily the PS2 would eventually be known as the 2nd greatest console since the Super Nintendo (as voted by slew of gaming nerds including myself). The opening (above) served as a pitch perfect period piece pretense for the title (that's five Ps). Oh, how the Japanese favor re-visiting their own history. Now as main-character and all around goody two sandals, Hidemitsu Samanosuke Akechi, your charge is set. How does it fare?
Coming off the era of Playstation 1 Resident Evil titles (or as I prefer, BioHazard), it's no surprise the challenge holds up remarkably well. Yes, the character tank controls add to the difficulty but I prefer to think that they are more at home in this title. How? Simple: the combat. The samurai art of swordsmanship (ken-jujitsu) requires a structured balance where movement is restricted only by the need to strike your sword. In the game, there is a sort of fluidity that resonates off your actions that almost makes combat more strategic. This is apparent when faced by various enemy types requiring various approaches coupled with managing your magic meter per sword. Granted, the controls make exploration utterly horrendous but by no means does it prevent enjoyment.
Besides the blatant exploration structure copy from Biohazard, the experience was completely it's own. The main setting of the game, Inabayama Castle, was surprisingly atmospheric in its allure of post-battle death, mystery of its demonic intruders, and directed musical selections to give you the right amount of scares or exhilaration. This is what becomes the pinnacle of originality: the setting is the most interest character. As you explore, you wonder what awaits in the floors above, you read found scrolls about the ended lost battle, you dread enemy encounters because you're just not strong enough yet. Essentially, it was setting versus man and it demanded your attentiveness.
Current Playability
Comparatively to modern tastes, the controls may appear archaic and some elements ostensibly monotonous (upgrading a sword's magic orbs doesn't do anything but you must in order to enter certain doors!). The game is still playable. One encompassing reason is b/c the experience doesn't borrow staples from it's other genre leaders (aforementioned Resident Evil or Silent Hill or, gulp, Parasite Eve). The game is unapologetically Japanese in tone with unsettling moods beckoning you to explore BUT that allows you to fight back intelligently or bluntly. It also shares one of the finest secret weapons in a game; one you earn with skill. Oh, and the mis-matched lip synching was funny in 2001 and still is.
Omnimusha Warlords was the evolution of the survival horror genre that introduced a new console generation. In many ways it relies on conventions of its predecessors but also strikes forward by offering something fresh in aesthetic, game play, and writing (betcha didn't think you were learning a piece of Nippon history, did you?). Today, it's charm and likability remain in tact ten fold. I just cross my legs for a HD remake on all four titles.

Stephen Kiernan's debut novel satisfies thrilling 'Curiosity'
Published in 1818, Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" imagined the possibility of science re-animating dead matter, and the themes in her masterpiece have been as enduring as the Hollywood images of a block-headed, neck-bolted monster. What are the moral responsibilities of our scientific capabilities? Just because we can, should we?
Like Shelley's novel, Stephen P. Kiernan's intriguing debut, "The Curiosity," begins in the Arctic, where scientist Kate Philo leads an expedition to find the perfect "hard-ice" from which to re-animate single-cell life forms. The funding for the expedition comes from Erastus Carthage, a monomaniacal media-savvy genius who appoints Daniel Dixon, a lecherous mediocre journalist, to document the project. »Read Full Article

Woodland Pattern's poets laureate series ends with Antler
Woodland Pattern Book Center's Milwaukee Poets Laureate Series wraps up May 17 with a joint reading by Antler and Howard Nelson.
Antler, Milwaukee's poet laureate in 2002-'03, is an inheritor and continuer of the Allen Ginsberg tradition of ecologically and politically charged poetry. His long poem "Factory," based on his experiences working in a can factory, was published in 1980 by City Lights in the same pocket book series as Ginsberg's "Howl" and brought him to wide attention. His collections "Last Words" (1986) and "The Selected Poems" (2000) are good samplers of his straightforward approach and wide interests. »Read Full Article

Trainer Greg Geier is making plans for his pair of talented Jim Tafel homebred 3-year-olds, Fordubai and Street Spice, both of whom were being considered for the Preakness in recent weeks.
Fordubai, second in the Illinois Derby, might have gone to the Triple Crown's second leg had he not developed a cough that forced Geier to skip a scheduled workout two weekends ago. But Fordubai worked an easy five-eighths last weekend and is on track, Geier said, to start on turf in the Arlington Classic on May 25.
Street Spice, who is working in blinkers after an erratic fifth in the Illinois Derby, is being pointed to the Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs, Geier said.
Fordubai seems like a great horse. I wanted him to try to Preakness but the Arlington Classic will probably be a better fit for him

Like others who share his heritage, Ralf Wiedemann agonizes over what for German Americans is the pressing question of the day:
Whom to root for during Thursday's critical World Cup game between the United States and Germany?
The winner advances, the loser could be out, and a tie benefits both.
That set of circumstances, enhanced by the unusual connections between the teams - beginning with the Americans' German coach - provokes a sense of anxious ambiguity among fans who would surely cheer for one team if they weren't cheering for the other.
Wiedemann, 46, is a lawyer at Montgomery McCracken in Center City - and honorary German consul for Southeastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
Fit: Runs very small
I was excited to receive this leotard and even ordered a size up from my usual small (I'm 5'4 and 108lbs) with a medium. However, I was very disappointed by how small this runs, the medium felt tight on me and the material felt cheap!
Age: 22 to 29
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
Fit: True to size
I have had my leotard for 5 months and it still looks new! Its one of my most comfortable leotards and i love wearing to class.
Bought this leotard for my 15 year old daughter. She normally would wear an AS or AM leotard so we ordered an AM. The leo is so small on her that we have to send it back. Beautiful design, so she is very disappointed.
I am a ballroom dancer and for competitions we need brightly colored, elegant leotards. This leotard lives up to those standards. The color, fabric and lace of this leotard are just a beautiful -- if not MORE -- as it appears in the pictures. It is a little smaller than anticipated, but fits very well. The zipper seems sturdy and durable, as well as well-made. It is completely stunning and definitely worth the buy -- would recommend to anyone.
Age: 15-18
Both of my 13-year-old daughters have this leotard and love it. One has classic black, and one has the purple, which is a very pretty, rich color. It does run small, so they ordered a medium and it fits well. It hasn't been through many washings yet, but so far, so good.
Age: 40-49
This leotard is so beautiful. I got so many compliments. It is really flattering, makes you look amazing, and at the same time its really comfortable.
I LOVE this leotard! I get so many compliments, its easy to take on and off, and its flattering for my tall slender body type. I did order my leo a little to small which might be why I have some quality issues. When I put the leo on, its almost as if I have to wiggle in, in fear of a seam about to pop. Nothing has happened yet, I have no whole, but sometimes when stretching its like the material wont stretch with me. The back lase is beautiful and hasn't snagged. I have worn this leo many times and I'd say its durable except a few strings running out here and there. Its definitely a bargain for the price, and worth getting maybe a size bigger even if you have growing room!
Other than the fact that this leotard runs SUPER small, I have no complaints. It's a flattering leotard and the zipper is functional.
The thing is, I'm 5'4", 32-24-33, girth 56", and I had to get a size medium. MEDIUM. By the sizing chart, I'm a size petite. After seeing the reviews, I decided to buy both a small and medium and try my luck. The leotard dug awkwardly into my crotch (for lack of better words) and when I zipped it up, my shoulders felt like they were being pulled downwards. The medium fit a lot better.
My entire class is wearing this leotard for our recital piece. When they came in, no one was able to fit into their correct size! I ordered a size Medium since I normally wear a small or medium in most leotards. However I had to return my Medium so that I could get a large! The large fits perfectly everywhere except for underneath the arms, which is baggy. I will need to have someone take it in. Other than the funky sizing, the leotard is gorgeous, with an elegant high cut leg.
When this arrived (late) it was way too small. In most leotards I'm medium so I selected that size. It was too small to even really move so I returned and haven't gotten a refund, conformation email, or anything. Just make sure you have the right size.
I wanted to break out of my black safety zone so I ordered this leo in purple. I found the fit to be troublesome. I am 5'8" and a size 12, so I ordered an XL. When I first tried it on, I thought it was a great fit! With tights, though, It cut into my back in a very unattractive way. Also, the girth is quite short; when I cambre back things got very uncomfortable. Port a bras forward and the zipper buckled uncomfortably. Life is too short to be tugging and pulling at my leotard! I will try it again with different tights and see if that changes anything.
Age: 30-39
Nice material, excellent support, nice lines, makes me seem slimmer
Age: 19-21
I have worn this leotard exactly once and the lace already has a hole in it! I am so disappointed as its a beautiful leo but I took it it off after class to hand wash in the sink( I wanted to be careful due to the lace) but it was too late already torn!
I saw this leotard and knew that I had to have it! It is absolutely stunning and the material is high quality. The only problem is that the girth this leotard runs small. I am 5'8 and 125 pounds, so I usually order a medium or large in leotards. At first, I ordered this leotard in a medium, but when I got it, the leotard fit width-wise, but the girth was WAY to short for me. I had to return the medium and re-order the leotard in a large, which thankfully worked out much better. So if you're on the tall side (even if you're slender), I would advise ordering a size up so the girth will fit properly
Again Bal Togs makes a lovely leotard. The cut is nice, fits well but without even wearing it in a class, I noticed a hole. I will be returning this but wish I didn't have to.
My daughter needed a lacy leotard for a YAGP piece she is working on. We ordered this one, since her first choice was back ordered. This leotard is gorgeous! The higher cut leg lines and the cut and fit of the back really accentuate the figure. The zipper, high neckline, and seam detail in front are modest and stylish. Will order in more colors!
This leotard is stunning but runs horrible small. I normally wear leotards in size Large, which is what I ordered. This leotard felt like a small. I'm going to have to return it because they don't make any bigger sizes. It's a shame because I was so excited for this one.
I gave 3 stars because it's gorgeous and looks well made but I will never be able to wear it unless they make them bigger.
This is such a good leotard! I love everything about it. The jazz cut leg line makes u look slimmer and so do the princess seams! I like how the zipper actually works and I was worried the "turtle neck" would be weird cuz I hate turtle neck shirts but actually it looks like I still have a neck! The lace is beautiful and great quality!!! This is a well built leo and very supportive if you know what I mean..... it's everything you want in a leo!

We saw these flowers often when we biked in Finland, but didn't know their name. Now we get it.
Hi Jeff, that violet flower is Epilobium angustifolium (Fireweed in English, Maitohorsma in Finnish). I don´t know the name of the yellow one. This photo was taken on the island of Harakka very close to the center of Helsinki.
Very nice photo !!!
Like 1 !!!
Friendly greeting , Rosi
Thanks once again, Rosi. This photo is quite an old one but still one of my favourites.

Dr. Barad is one the kindest, and very caring doctor's I have met! I will definitely refer him to friends and family!
An exceptional doctor. Knows what he's talking about. Knows what he's doing. Gives his patients a sense of confidence. Courteous, approachable. Wish he would give his patients more time (instead of a mere 5 minutes!) to talk about their concern, but then I guess time is money for him. As a surgeon, he does great work. One could not have asked for a more skilful doctor. Regarding making appojntments, if you already have one, don't try to change it. Because your next appointment would be at least 6 weeks or more later. The clerk is totally unsympathethic to your explanation, nor would she consider trying to fit you in earlier even when you tell her you're in pain.
Very knowledgeable. I loved his bedside manner, made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I would recommend him to others even though he is a "Raider fan." All in all a positive experience all the way around.
Dr. Barad did my surgery on my shoulder and till this point I feel great. No complains. Thank you Dr. Barad
The time Dr. Barad put into getting to know me and things about me made me much more comfortable and confident that he would do the job with care. I've talked to so many surgeons who treat patients like paychecks. Dr. Barad very clearly does not. From a medical standpoint, he made sure that he asked all the questions necessary to perform the surgery to my needs as an athlete. I'm one month out from surgery and making great process. My shoulder is feeling stable and my range of motion is improving every day without pain or tension. Everything feels how it should.
Been with Dr Barad for almost 6 yrs, I would trust my life to him. I trust in his decisions,

Off-the-grid films were among summer of 2013's best
Did fan culture kill the summer movie blockbuster?
Many of the summer's films were sci-fi-centric, and most of them looked the same. Perhaps the sheer number of them guaranteed that not all would do well at the box office. »Read Full Article
Sally Struthers brings experience, humor to 'Hello, Dolly!'
If the cheerful and idealistic Gloria Stivic had stayed with us during the decades since "All in the Family," what would the intervening years have made of her?
Having won two Emmys playing Meathead's wife, Sally Struthers is back with the answer: The increasingly confident Gloria would have become matchmaker Dolly Levi, rendered sharper and more pragmatic by life's knocks but still every bit as warm and loving, and even more of a stitch. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee Symphony makes most of cathedral setting in concert
The phrase "working the room" clearly means different things to people.
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and associate music director Francesco Lecce-Chong moved their proverbial tent to the Cathedral of St. John on Friday evening and worked the room beautifully with a program of Pärt, Bach and Bruckner that was perfectly tailored to the acoustics and ambience of the space. »Read Full Article
Skaggs, Hornsby pair piano with frenetic fiddlin' around
From the carefully placed microphones to the stringed instruments in the hands of Ricky Skaggs and the six members of Kentucky Thunder, the stage of the Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino was clearly set Friday for an evening of bluegrass music.
Had that been the bill, it would have been a fine show of prodigious talent playing the music Skaggs has been mastering since his youth. But there in the middle of the stage was an unusual addition to bluegrass tradition: a grand piano and its own experimental master, Bruce Hornsby. »Read Full Article

Baseball was a reality for Fort Wayne on Monday. After the opening series was snowed our, the Wizards sent Nathan Culp to the hill to take care of business. Boy did he. In 25 degrees weather, Culp tossed six perfect innings – perfect, no hit, no walk baseball – before being removed. Through six frames he had tossed just 47 pitches – using mostly his fastball and never throwing more than ten pitches in an inning. Culp induced ten ground ball outs and four fly outs (only one was hit into the outfield), whiffing four of the minimum he faced in registering the win. The left-hander pitched in seven games for the Wizards last year, going 4-2 with a 4.09 ERA. Three times he went five-plus innings without allowing an earned run.
"Everyone knows when that stuff is going on," Culp said after the game. "You don't do anything different whether you have a perfect game or otherwise. You still try and get that guy out. Whatever happens, happens. Everyone knows what is going on."
The perfect game was broken up with one out in the ninth inning off closer R.J. Rodriguez. He surrendered a single to Justin Fuller and would allow one more base hit before closing the door. Grant Varnell and Rolando Valdez were perfect in the seventh and eighth inning, respectively.
The vote of confidence paid off early for Kyler Burke. The outfielder matched his homer total from the year before with a solo homer to leadoff the fifth inning, putting the Wizards on the board for the first time this year. He had gone 37 games without a homer dating back to last year. Burke singled in his next at bat, as a diving outfielder could not come up with the acrobatic catch, ending his night with a 2-for-4 performance and accounting for the lone run of the game. Burke hit .209 over 45 games for the AZL Padres last year, striking out 56 times and drawing 26 walks.
Tom King went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in his first Midwest League game. The second baseman had just three steals last year for the Eugene Emeralds. While he hit .231 last year, King did manage to collect 18 multi-hit games and reached base three or more times in a game on eight occasions. Both his hits came off left-handed pitching; King his .286 off lefties a year ago and .210 off righties.
Portland won 5-1 over Sacramento (A's)
Justin Germano allowed one run over five innings, giving up five hits while striking out six to pick up the win. The right-hander, claimed off waivers from Philadelphia this spring, threw 81 pitches with 53 strikes. Germano went 10-6 with a 3.48 ERA with two different teams in the Triple-A International League last year. He also went 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA over two appearances with the Cincinnati Reds. Germano entered the year with a career mark of 69-51 with a 3.69 ERA in the minors.
Oscar Robles went 3-for-4 on Monday with a double, triple, run scored and an RBI to give him six hits in 16 at bats in the early going. Robles made things interesting in camp during the spring, losing out on his roster spot to Paul McAnulty in the end. But he was a worthy adversary because of his .292 average, going 14-for-46 with seven RBIs and seven runs scored, and his stellar defense.
Royce Ring struck out two and walked one in an inning of work to give him six K's in three innings to begin the year. The left-hander allowed four runs on 10 hits over 7.1 innings during spring after being acquired from the New York Mets in an off-season deal. Ring has a career mark of 16-9 with a 3.06 ERA as a minor leaguer and has a 0-2 record with a 3.47 ERA over 26 major league appearances.
San Antonio won 6-2 over Wichita (Royals)
Josh Geer allowed one run on six hits over 5.2 frames to earn the victory. He did not walk a batter and struck out six but did plunk two hitters. The right-hander allowed one run or less in five of his 15 California League outings last season and threw shutout ball in five of his 11 Midwest League starts, including a stretch of 22 scoreless in June. Geer hit eight batters all of last season.
Chase Headley collected four hits in five trips to the dish, doubling and scoring a run. He has hits in four of his five games this year and has been on base in each. His last four-hit game came on May 20 last season while playing for Lake Elsinore – the only other time he has accomplished the feat in his minor league career. The third baseman had one hit in six at bats in Spring Training.
Sean Kazmar went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI, extending his hitting streak to five games to open his Double-A career. The second baseman went 9-for-15 in big league camp – a .600 average. He actually accomplished a rare feat, posting an on base percentage less than his average at .579 thanks to several sacrifice flies. Kazmar also clubbed two homers and knocked in eight runs.
Lake Elsinore lost 11-10 to Lancaster (Red Sox)
It wasn't a good day to be a pitcher in the California League. By the end of the top half of the first, every single Storm player except Chad Huffman had reached base safely – and he batted twice. Huffman would get sweet redemption with a two-run homer in the fifth inning. Every member of the Storm would notch a hit and Mike Baxter was the only player not to score a run – he got caught stealing preceding a David Freese homer. Unfortunately, ten runs and 16 hits were not enough for the Storm.
Matt Antonelli led off the game with a homer and continued the assault by going 3-for-5 with four RBIs and two runs scored, matching his hit total over the first four games of the year. The second baseman had five three-hit games last season for the Eugene Emeralds but set a new career-high with his four RBIs. He had not driven in more than two in any contest and his six RBIs early in the year are more than he had in August last year.
Wade LeBlanc, on a strict pitch count that limited him to less than the 75 that the rest of the staff had, lasted 3-plus, giving up five runs, four earned, on five hits and two walks in a no-decision. The left-hander went 5-1 with a 3.02 ERA over 14 appearances, including 10 starts, over two different leagues. He did not allow five runs in any game last year and allowed four earned runs just once.
Brandon Higelin took the loss, giving up three hits and an intentional walk in the bottom of the ninth inning. After pitching a scoreless inning to open the year, the left-hander has surrendered two runs on five hits in the last inning and a third. Higelin allowed runs in just 14 of his 53 outings last year and only three times did he allow runs in successive outings.

"The definition of being a modern person is to examine yourself, to reflect on yourself and to be a self-knowledgeable person."
"I think we're all dealt a card in life, and I used to think that I was dealt a very difficult one. Then I came to realize that it has made my life richer and that it has been a great foil for my work. Without really being conscious of it when doing my work, I've always tried to understand the meaning of war, how it has affected my life, and what it means to live through times of turbulence like that. A lot of those questions fuel my work."

Thanks for sharing that, seems like what he's saying has to deal with a superior design of the whatever software component he was talking about. It's not uncommon to hear claims that X is doing B faster than Y with A, without making an architectural comparison between A and B, when B is fresh and designed from scratch, while A is old and been around for years. Such kind of comparison don't make sense, and it's not always attributes of X or Y, but of A and B.

TypeC is cylindrical, it feels flimsy and imprecise to attach, Apple's iPhone 6 connector is more usable and user friendly as a port
would be nice if you could run only the sensitive parts in a sandbox, but that not be necessary, you could obfuscate and protect your sensible memory space
pretty sure anti virus software doesn't do this, but would be cool when analysing malware, to kick off a VM, run the malware there, and analyze the results it has on the VM, you can start as many VM as you need

That would have been fantastic. At least include an ATSC tuner (we just use the antenna at our house).
I got myself a PS4 personally because I liked the software and hardware better than what's on XBOX ONE, right now there are not many titles that would specifically make me to want one console over the other, I will probably get an XBOX ONE for Christmas to play the Master Chief collection on. If there is a specific title(s) you want, you should go with the console that has them, if the titles are the same, go with the console that is more attractive to you, for me it was the PS4.
I'm also wondering if there is a issue with the projectors as well, for all we know it could be a horrible design flaw in the playback system

Interesting. I wonder if that was just because the technology is so new and we aren't good at it, yet, or if this is a limit that we can't get past. 99.9999% of what you see presented in popular fiction would be creepy or cringeworthy if people actually did or looked like that in real life. Maybe 48p is in the creepy valley and we need to go higher to get to actual realism.

Uh, I think there will be a lot more collateral damage after the lawyers are done with them.
You do realize that this accident was three years ago....and the news broadcast is one year old...
Probably immune from any legal action: no assets, minimum insurance.
People who do things like this do not deserve to live.
Because MADD doesn't give a damn about dangerous driving. It's about the fundraising and the no-alcohol meme.
I knew the broadcast was a year old, but I did not know when the crash had taken place. (I don't use the word "accident" for this kind of thing). Just because it's from a year ago doesn't mean it's not worth posting.

Virus that turns tigers into man-eaters is spreading
By Pratul Sharma - NEW DELHI
Published: 30th June 2013 08:30 AM
Last Updated: 30th June 2013 08:30 AM
Tigers are going to the dogs. An incurable pathogen named canine distemper virus, (CDV) is spreading fast from dogs to tigers, making them fearless and in the process possibly turning them into man-eaters. The most dangerous consequence of this is that the tiger population could be wiped out by the virus.
The National Tiger Conservation Authority (previously called Project Tiger) has issued an advisory to all tiger range states asking them to look out for abnormal behaviour among big cats. The advisory noted the serious symptoms of CDV. "It is incurable, causing high fever, watery eyes, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhoea progressing to seizures, paralysis and death. Tigers have also been observed to display strange behaviour, with disorientation, inability to hunt, besides loss of fear."
The brain damage caused by CDV results in fatalities among tigers. However, equally disturbing are the consequences to humans. As CDV-infected tigers become fearless, they could venture into villages and towns posing a danger to humans.
As shrinking habitats are forcing tigers to venture out to look for prey, cattle and stray dogs around national parks become the first victims. As many of the strays may carry CDV, it could spread to big cats, experts warn.
Wildlife wardens have been asked to take precautionary measures. "Vaccination of stray cattle, cats and dogs around the tiger reserves should be done on a regular basis. Periodic checking of water quality in tiger reserves (pre and post-monsoon) along with their chemical analysis should be undertaken," S P Yadav, Deputy Inspector General NTCA, noted. The NTCA advisory cautions wildlife authorities in different states to take notice of the dangerous phenomenon. It has asked wildlife wardens to keep an eye on wild animals showing abnormal behaviour. "Tissues of dead animals (brain tissue) should be collected for pathological analysis. Facilities of deep freezes storing samples should be set up and the record of each should be maintained."
CDV is making conservators study the phenomenon. A UK-based conservation organisation, Wildlife Vets International (WVI), involved in saving tigers in the Sunderbans — spread between Bangladesh and West Bengal — wants to test whether CDV is causing healthy tigers attack humans and walk unperturbed into villages because they have lost all fear.

Pasadena area voters will weigh in on two local races on Tuesday, June 5, in addition to the two statewide ballot propositions, congressional races and the California presidential primary.
Five candidates are running for the 41st District Assembly seat representing Altadena, Pasadena, South Pasadena, Sierra Madre and foothills cities all the way to Upland. Anthony Portantino (D-La Canada Flintridge), the assemblyman currently representing the 41st district, will be forced out of office by term limits at the end of 2012.
Running to represent the redrawn district are South Pasadena Mayor Michael Cacciotti (D), Pasadena attorney and businessman Ed Colton (R), Pasadena City Councilman Chris Holden (D), Claremont businesswoman and conservative activist Donna Lowe (R) and Pasadena businesswoman Victoria Rusnak (D).
Voters in the Pasadena Unified School District, which includes Pasadena, Altadena and Sierra Madre, will also decide the fate of Measure A, which would change the way voters elect members of the Pasadena Board of Education. Currently, the seven members of the Pasadena Board of Education are elected to at large positions. Under Measure A, the school district would be divided into seven geographic sub-districts, each electing their own member of the board.
San Marino is part of the 49th Assembly District, where two candidates are running to replace termed-out Assemblyman Mike Eng. They are Matthew Lin (R), a former San Marino City Councilman, and Montebello school board member Ed Chau (D).
Under new election rules in California, the top two vote-getters in the primary compete again in the November election, so Chau and Lin are guaranteed to face off again.

Family law-marriage and union
Great part of family law is made around laws that govern marriage, union and domestic partnership.
When we talk about marriage we are in fact talking about civil marriage, while many of us don't know a lot about religious marriage. Civil marriage is done in from of law, and it becomes legal status of both parties that have wed. On the other hand religious marriage is a liturgical rite or any other process that brings two people together in from of the other believers and their god. Some religions have different rules in who can marry who, and civil government has no influence and doesn't want to apply influence in changing that.
Every couple must join in social marriage or their status would not change in the eyes of the law. On the other hand religious marriage may or may not happen, it doesn't change any rights the couple has with social marriage. It is their choice whether they will marry in front of a god. In USA a priest of any major religion has rights to marry two people in both social and religious union, while in Europe it isn't the case.
Domestic partnership represents two people, no matter the gender, who are living together, but they refuse or they can't get married. They support each other like any other couple and they live together, only difference between them and married couples is on the paper and in the lack of laws the couples have. That means that they have no rights or protection that social marriage offers to both people.
This is just an outline of one part of family law. There is a lot to be said about family law and marriage rights and you can contact moved here for more information.
Family law-adoption and surrogacy
For those couples who are unable to have kids there are two ways out of it, adoption and surrogacy.
A portion of couples will pick surrogacy as their option, because they want their child to have blood of at least of its parents. Surrogacy is preferred option for couples that want their own child, but one of the would be parents is unable to have children. Many parents will choose surrogacy because they want top care of their child, and clear and known medical history of at least one parent.
Choosing surrogacy as an option means that you will have three major steps in the process of having a child. First step is to find an agency which would help you locate surrogate partner that fits to the desires of the future parents. One of the best agency is over here agency. Second step includes strict medical and psychological testing of the surrogate parent in order to turn away all inadequate surrogates who would bring a possibility of some kind of disease to the child. Third step is medical step in which the artificial insemination is done. Law is strict in the case of surrogate parents, and this process may cost over 100 000 dollars.
Apart from all check of your home, where safety of it is checked along with estimation of whether it is child friendly, you will be checked as well. For example, if were criminal in past then your chances of adoption are very small. If that criminal past had any connection with crimes done to children then you will have no chance of becoming a parent through adoption.
Many adoptions are adoptions of children that are several years old, but there are adoptions in which parents take baby at childbirth. In open adoption cases parents will take the child from its biological parent but they will stay in contact with her. In those cases parents will more than often meet future biological mother and evaluate her from their standpoint as well.
Family law-Parental child abduction
Once a court divorce happens the child or any number of them are given into the care of the parent who is deemed as better parent for the children. But in some cases other parent will disagree with court order and without any other options he or she will kidnap that child and take it away from its legal custodian.
This act is clearly against the child law which is a part of family law. In this case don't hesitate to contact we thought about this. Several things are assumed once that happens, and most important of them is that the parent abductor has full control of the child, and there is no law to stop them doing whatever they want. Another things is that abductor has no interest in the child apart of it being a leverage in his plan.
Due to number of parental child abductions the researchers came with profiles of likely abductors which can help police in their search of the child:
– Parents that have made threats of abductions and those that have already abducted their children are prime suspects in these cases
– As well as parents who were suspected of child abuse in past
– All people that became paranoid or delusional after they lost their children after divorce or those that have shown that kind of state in past
– Sociopathic parents
– Parents that have divorced due to strong ties to another country, they will abduct the child and try to smuggle it to that country
– And parents that lost their faith in legal system and they have shown that.
Greatest impact of parental child abduction is felt by the child itself. The child will suffer some deleterious effects from the abduction including depression and loneliness, anger and helplessness and an array of other effects all depending on the child and general reasons for abduction and treatment that child gets by the abducting parent.

Last time, I gave you the last piece of writing before I underwent the knife once again. This time getting my ankle replaced, I spoke about all the old fears and concerns surfacing anew. Well, the surgery has been postponed, much to my chagrin. Postponed not because of any valid, medical reason, but because of medical politics, a subject that I have spoken on before.
Here's how it went. I was preparing for surgery, both mentally and physically, and a week ago Wednesday I spent the entire day at the hospital undergoing pre-surgical testing. I was told that the pre-testing was mainly a formality, and the blood tests and x-rays were routine. Since I had done that type of screening before, I knew what to expect — no surprises. I knew no matter how early I showed up, it was going to take the majority of the day to complete. I settled in for the long haul, and made sure I took out a second mortgage to pay for the hospital parking garage.
After four hours worth of testing and visiting several different physicians, I only had one meeting left – the anesthesiologist. This was a new one on me, as meeting with an anesthesiologist was only necessary in certain cases. Well, I was that special case this time around.
You all know that last September/November I had a heart attack following a shoulder replacement surgery. Well, I also returned to the hospital a month and a half later to have an additional stent inserted. The official date for that last stent insertion was November 18, 2011.
Unbeknownst to me, the Heart association has set guidelines about surgery after a stent is installed, and the guideline says to wait one year after to perform any elective surgery. Now, there is a reason I put the word guideline in italics – it's because the year waiting period is exactly that – a guide-line. The year waiting period isn't written in stone and when there are extenuating circumstances, surgery can be performed safely before the one-year mark. To support this, my cardiologist has provided studies that show that once a stent-receiving patient hits the six-month mark, there is no discernable difference in waiting a full year before surgery. In other words, once six months has passed, surgery can take place as safely as if the patient waited ten years. Oh, and just in case any of you were wondering if my cardiologist is some quack, know that he is a Harvard Medical educated doctor who is under the tutelage of one of the most respected cardiologists in the world.
Because of this guideline, it was necessary for me to meet with an anesthesiologist to get approval for the surgery. So, after waiting two hours for her to show up, I finally got my meeting with this doctor. Now, keep in mind, going into this meeting, I had the approval of no less than five separate doctors for this surgery to take place. The head orthopedic surgeon of the hospital, my rheumatologist of 20 years, my ivy-league educated cardiologist, the hospital's own general physician who's job it was to clear patients for surgery, and my pain management doctor.
As soon as the meeting began, I should have known the surgery wasn't going to happen. From the get-go, this doctor tried to pick apart every aspect of my M.I. event (myocardial infarction – a.k.a. heart attack). In fact, when she first glanced at my file she said "wow." So, the meeting went on like that, with this doctor questioning everything from the manufacturer of my defibrillator device to the opinion of my cardiologist. She even called the mentor/partner of my heart doctor who, after reviewing my file, said that the surgery should be no problem. It was as if she was trying to find an excuse to cancel the surgery but was being stopped at every turn.
So, the meeting eventually concluded, and since the anesthesiologist couldn't find any valid reason to postpone the procedure, the surgery was scheduled for five days later. Despite all of my instincts telling me that this woman did not want to touch me with a ten-foot pole, I drove home and began the final preparation for the surgery.
Those of you have never had major surgery may not know this, but in addition to preparing physically and logistically for a procedure and hospital stay, there is also a distinct set of mental preparations that one must go through before going under the knife. Think about it, if you were going into the hospital for a serious procedure that could, even if the chances were small, potentially kill you, how do you think that would affect your mental state? If you said greatly, you guessed correctly. You have to prepare yourself for the worst outcome of all, and that's the result where you don't end up coming out of that operating room alive. Sure, the chances are slim, but it's a possibility, and you can't simply ignore it. Or, at least, I can't. Some people might be able to go into surgery without considering all the risks but that's not me. In addition, you have to prepare yourself for the eventuality that once the surgeon gets in there, he or she may not be able to do everything that was promised. For instance, my anklebone not be in the right shape to support a joint replacement, so they will have to fuse the joint only, or leave half the surgery for a later date. As much as a doctor prepares and takes x-rays and CT-scans, there is always an element of the unknown. Getting your head into the right frame of mind takes time and practice. This mental preparation is what I spent the next two days doing. That is, until I got the call on Friday, two days after the pre-surgical testing.
As I was eating lunch, the phone rang. The caller ID said the name of the hospital, and I thought it was simply the surgical scheduler calling to inform me of the arrival time for the coming Monday. When I picked up and heard the voice of my general doctor, the one who does the per-surgical exams, I immediately knew what had happened. When you have been doing this as long as I have, you begin to be able to tell when something isn't going exactly right, and this entire surgery stunk to high heaven ever since the meeting with the anesthesiologist.
Of course, I was informed that the anesthesiologist had decided she wouldn't do the surgery until exactly a year after the stent. She had apparently consulted with other doctors, and decided it was the best course of action. Immediately I asked whom it was she had consulted with, since all five of my other doctors were on board with the surgery happening. I then asked who was going to pay for my gas to come back to the hospital for new pre-testing, and who was going to pay my second set of co-pays. It wasn't as if the anesthesiologist had just heard about this surgery, she had the file for months. Of course, he had no answers for me at all, beyond to say there was nothing he could do.
In the end, it turned out that the doctor simply wanted to cover her butt in case something happened and I filed a lawsuit. It didn't make a difference that I promised to sign a waiver, and that I wasn't even going to be under general anesthesia. It didn't matter that I was in severe pain, and that my ankle was causing my hips and other joints to be thrown out of place. The Hippocratic oath "first, do no harm" obviously was not at the top of the priority list any longer. The one doctor who didn't know me at all got to make the final decision about my surgery. Medical politics at it's finest.

All I can say is that I feel your pain, and hopefully, most of your doctors will be like most of mine – p
utting the patient first at all costs.
