Box Score / Highlights
Star of the Game – Eric Young – .185 (WPA)
by Sean Powell
Everyone is speculating about who will leave the rotation once Matt Garza returns (throwing aside suggestions of a six-man rotation for now). Although one bad start won't decide things, it's not looking good for Carlos Villanueva. Scott Feldman and Travis Wood have been destroying hitters lately, and Villanueva has regressed back toward the mean in the last few starts (with a "leap" back tonight). His peripheral stats suggested that a correction was coming, so it shouldn't be a big surprise. Villanueva has successful experience in the swing role, and it was a role he was signed to fill in the first place.
There have been arguments made that Edwin Jackson should be the pitcher sent to the bullpen – at least until trades are made. The argument is that Jackson is not a trade candidate this season (since he signed to a four-year deal), and it would be better to let Villanueva stay in the rotation to build maximum value before the trade deadline. While that argument makes some sense, I just don't see Villanueva sustaining his early-season success (although it's a small sample size, his performances of late support this) – and he will have more value if he's effective out of the pen as the long man/sixth starter than he will if he is scuffling in a rotation role. Also, Jackson's peripheral stats suggest that he has pitched better than his "baseball card" stats suggest: coming into tonight, Jackson had a 3.50 FIP vs. a 3.91 FIP for Villanueva (Villanueva's FIP rose to 4.28 tonight).
The Cubs offense continued their struggles against left-handed starters as they made Jeff Francis look like Travis Wood. Despite struggling all year (especially against righties), Francis kept the Cubs hitters off-balance all night. The only run against Francis came on a Darwin Barney golf-shot homerun (yes, you read that correctly). Darwin may be creeping out of his slump with a three-hit night that also included an RBI double in the ninth.
[Random thought: I always remembered Francis as having a beard. Maybe I'm thinking of Jeff Reardon.]
On another note, it was interesting to see David DeJesus get the start in the leadoff spot against a lefty. He's had a good year at the plate only playing against righties. Sveum's experiment of having Starlin Castro lead-off against lefties seems to have been short lived.
The Rockies tried to give us back the game in the eighth, with a couple of mental-lapse errors, and we had the obligatory fake rally in the ninth, but the deficit was just too large.

is no bigger
than your thumb!
Thumbelina is content to spend her days rowing in a boat made from a tulip petal and sleeping in a cradle made from a polished walnut shell. Then one horrible night a toad kidnaps her, and she is tossed from one wretched adventure to another.
Will Thumbelina be forced to marry the toad's son or spend her days deep underground with a rich mole? Only her steadfast kindness and bravery and the help of some loyal friends will lead Thumbelina to true love.
Two-time Caldecott Honor artist Brian Pinkney's adaptation of the classic tale vividly captures the dramatic journey and quiet strength of Hans Christian Andersen's tiny heroine.

Marc Paxton - JeremyRoddick
Models: Marc Paxton and Jeremy RoddickThis year I offered myself a special gift for Christmas. I've been asked for a while now to do a scene with a couple of dildos. So my wish list to Santa and yours are now a reality. And for the occasion, I've asked to my friend Marc Paxton, who is starting in the porn industry, to help me unwrap my Christmas gits. The scene starts with both of us dipping our...french fries in ketchup. And it ends with a huge dildo up into Marc's ass. I will let you see what really happens by yourself!

Thermal and Photochemical Decomposition of Gaseous Aluminum Trimethyl14(1946); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724057View Description Hide Description
The thermal decomposition of gaseous aluminum trimethyl, in the absence of hydrogen, is nearly 94 percent homogeneous and of kinetic order three‐halves over the pressure range 10 to 85 mm measured at room temperature. The reaction products consist largely of methane and to a lesser extent ethane, ethylene, and hydrogen and a solid deposit on the walls of the reaction vessel. A reaction mechanism involving methyl radicals is proposed. The apparent energy of activation, calculated on this basis, is found to be 45 kcal., in agreement with the experimentally determined figure. The high ratio of methane produced to alkyl decomposed suggests that aluminum trimethyl in the vapor state at room temperatures must consist at least of tetrameric molecular complexes. In the presence of hydrogen, both the decomposition rate and the energy of activation are reduced as compared to the decomposition of the pure alkyl, a puzzling effect for which no satisfactory explanation can at present be offered. Photochemically, the presence of hydrogen seems to have little effect on the over‐all decomposition but enhances the relative amount of methane slightly. In this, aluminum trimethyl appears to differ from mercury dimethyl which is known to decompose faster thermally and photochemically in the presence of hydrogen than in its absence.
Motions of Molecules in Condensed Systems: I. Selection Rules, Relative Intensities, and Orientation Effects for Raman and Infra‐Red Spectra14(1946); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724065View Description Hide Description
A method is described that permits deduction of selection rules for Raman and infra‐red spectra of crystals from a knowledge of just the space group designation and the population of the unit cell. When implemented by an appendix to this article showing, in a convenient arrangement, the distribution of point symmetries within space groups the method can be applied by a user familiar with point group manipulation but having no special knowledge of space groups. There are no selection rules operating in the liquid state. Some tentative qualitative conclusions are drawn concerning the relative intensities of certain kinds of components appearing in spectra of condensed systems. Sharpened selection rules are expected, and have been observed by others, to operate for single crystals containing non‐rotating molecules when these are given special orientations in the light path. These special orientations and the appropriate selection rules can be predicted from information mentioned above along with inspection of the external form of a crystal. All procedures have a desirable advantage of simplicity over prior ones directed toward the same ends.
Kinetics of OH Radicals as Determined by Their Absorption Spectrum VI. Attempt to Trace OH Radicals in the Thermal Hydrogen‐Oxygen Reaction14(1946); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724055View Description Hide Description
The steady thermal reaction of hydrogen and oxygen at a pressure of 60 cm and a temperature in the region of 550° C was searched by absorptionspectrum technique for free OH radicals. None were detected, although the apparatus would have been sensitive to an OH radical pressure of 4×10−4 mm. This negative result indicates that the OH radicals have a very short lifetime in the reacting mixture.
Electric Circuit Models for the Vibration Spectrum of Polyatomic Molecules14(1946); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724056View Description Hide Description
Electrical circuits are developed to determine the normal frequencies and normal modes of vibration of polyatomic molecules having arbitrary configurations. The networks for each molecule are set up without equations from physical considerations alone and may be solved by an a.c. network analyzer, by numerical methods, or by digital (punch card, etc.) calculating machines. The networks also allow the establishment of the resultant secular equations of the molecule by simple inspection. The potential function considered is either a general quadratic form of the displacements, or it may correspond to the customary ``valence‐force'' system employing stretching, bending, and twisting of the valence bonds and valence angles. A companion paper contains network analyzer tests on the CO2, OCS, and ethyl alcohol molecules by the ``valence‐force'' model. Both the normal frequencies and normal modes of vibration check satisfactorily with known results within the accuracy of the instruments.
Network Analyzer Tests of Equivalent Circuits of Vibrating Polyatomic Molecules14(1946); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724058View Description Hide Description
To illustrate the use of the equivalent circuits derived in the companion paper for vibrating polyatomic molecules, this paper describes network‐analyzer tests of circuits for three successively more complicated molecules. The first is the symmetrical linear CO2 molecule; the second is the unsymmetrical linear OCS molecule; and the third is the unsymmetrical nonlinear CH3CH2OH molecule. In each case, starting from given constants of the molecular structure, the normal frequencies and modes are measured by means of the equivalent circuit. It is shown that for these cases the analyzer measurements agree satisfactorily with the known normal‐frequency characteristics.
The Asymmetric Rotor III. Punched‐Card Methods of Constructing Band Spectra14(1946); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1724059View Description Hide Description
The stochastic method of analysis of band spectra of asymmetric rotors involves the calculation of line strengths and positions for successive estimates of six molecular constants, until the calculated intensities at all wave‐lengths agree satisfactorily with the observed. This paper shows that these extensive calculations, as based on tables previously published, are well adapted to standard punched‐card equipment. In addition to the above calculations, it is possible to construct the appearance of the rotational structure for various values of slit width. The procedure is carried through for H2S with some approximate constants. Very satisfactory representations of observed spectra are obtained for completely resolved spectra, as in the photographic region; for slit width 1 and 2 cm−1, as in the near infra‐red; for slit width 10 cm−1, as in poorly resolved infra‐red spectra.

In each column, Mission: Messaging discusses topics designed to encourage you to re-examine your thinking about IBM® WebSphere® MQ, its role in your environment, and why you should pay attention to it on a regular basis.
The messaging animal kingdom
There comes a time in every project when, in hindsight, certain decisions seem painfully obvious. For many an SOA project, this is the sudden realization that not all messages are created equal. To illustrate, imagine a Web application in which a high volume of lightweight user inquiry interactions are converted to WebSphere MQ messages. These small and non-persistent messages are then sent to a backend system which generates replies that are sent back to the user, typically within a second or two. Think of these messages as the mice. Now, imagine a second application where users upload large, multi-megabyte files composed of many update transactions. These are converted to very large, persistent WebSphere MQ messages which are transmitted to the backend system for processing. These messages are the elephants.
Adding elephants to a network where mice are already running free predictably results in lots of trampled mice. What often catches people by surprise, though, is that the opposite is also true: adding the mice to a system tuned for elephants results in lots of frightened elephants. This can seem counter-intuitive when the problem is perceived as one of simple linear scalability. Just add CPU, disk, and memory until the system can handle the elephants and all the problems go away, right? After all, the reasoning goes, if we have the horsepower to move elephants around, mere mice should pose no challenge. The reality of course is that tuning the network to simultaneously handle these drastically different classes of data is extremely difficult, if not impossible.
I like to describe this as the "mice and elephants problem" because the issues are instantly recognizable in these terms. But there are many other species of message out there, too:
- Depending on the business requirements, messages may or may not require encryption (porcupines and opossums).
- The business value of a message might be long-lived or it may vanish in seconds (tortoises and hares).
- Some messages have value only in the context of a coordinated transaction while others stand alone (dolphins and sharks).
Nobody expects to go to the zoo and find all of the animals housed in the same enclosure, or even the same type of enclosure. The notion that mice and elephants and dolphins and sharks should be housed separately is intuitive. But when building a messaging network, there is a tendency to reduce the requirements down to some volume of messages where âmessageâ is an abstract atomic chunk of data and âvolumeâ is simply an integer quantity of messages during some time period. While this is certainly useful information, it does not come close to describing all of the actual business requirements that a messaging network needs to support.
Designing habitats for your messages
Several of my clients have run into trouble because they designed their messaging network to scale up using identical components. The only answer they considered for a performance issue was to add more horsepower or more nodes and distribute traffic equally across them. As new applications were implemented, each with unique and often conflicting requirements, it became increasingly difficult to tune the network to handle all the different types of traffic, and this eventually led to outages. At some point, I was brought in to assist with the system tuning. It is always a big red flag for me when I show up on site and find mice, elephants, opossums, porcupines, dolphins, and sharks all running around in the same space. Tuning is not the answer to this problem.
The zoo provides classes of service by tailoring habitats to the species of animal they are to contain. Often, different animals with similar needs can share an area. The gazelles and wildebeests get along quite nicely. Other animals are fundamentally incompatible and do not share any resources. Aquatic animals get tanks, land animals get enclosures of some kind. Providing classes of service on the messaging network is not much different. You cannot build a monolithic messaging network and expect it to handle every type of message you throw at it, but you can build dedicated routes or nodes within the network that are tuned to accommodate a variety of differing needs.
The key then is to gain an understanding of which resources are shared between message flows, where the conflicts arise, and then segregate the traffic at the appropriate level. There are many different criteria with which you might distinguish classes of service on a messaging network. Some of the more common ones include:
- Business value time to live: Some messages lose their business value if they are not processed within a short period of time. Others may be delayed hours or days with no loss of value. In general, messages with a short-lived business value are segregated to higher throughput hardware, while messages with a long-lived business value can be routed to slower, and probably cheaper, hardware.
- Volume: Some interfaces pass a very high volume of messages per second, per hour, per day, and so on. Beyond a certain threshold, the sheer volume of messages could push an interface into a separate class of service.
- Size: The key here is not the absolute size but rather the difference in relative sizes between message types. Tuning for consistently large or consistently small messages is not difficult, but tuning for extreme variability is.
- Privacy and integrity: When the messaging network or volume of message data is large, encrypting all traffic can be prohibitively expensive. If the portion of traffic that requires encryption is relatively small, carving out a separate class of service for it might be appropriate.
- Persistence: Throughput differs dramatically in both queues and channels depending on whether messages are persistent.
Letâs look at a specific example.
Solving the mice and elephants problem requires, at a minimum, that the different types of messages pass through different channels and transmit queues. Depending on the volume of messages and the capacity of the server, it might be necessary to take additional steps and either create a separate queue manager or separate the message streams onto different servers. The optimum solution will be different in each shop. The trade-off here is that as you reduce the number of shared resources, the complexity, license cost, and administrative overhead can increase. The business case is that these costs are usually much less than the cost of throwing money at the problem until you have enough horsepower to meet the service level requirements.
Table 1. Shared resources by topology
|Queueing topology
|Clustered queue manager
|Overlapping clusters
|Point-to-point channels
|Multiple queue managers on one node
|Queue managers on multiple nodes
Table 1 shows that applications on a clustered queue manager share many resources. The rows are different topologies for WebSphere MQ and the columns are different resources that WebSphere MQ consumes. Letâs consider each topology:
- Clustered queue manager: Applications on a clustered queue manager share many resources. This is the classic example of mixing all types of animals into a single enclosure.
- Overlapping clusters: You can split up traffic onto different channels by adding an overlapping cluster. This provides the opportunity to differentiate based on channel tuning. For example, you can send string data in one channel with conversion enabled and send binary data down another. Perhaps one path uses encryption and another uses plain text. When the multiple paths are cluster channels, you can tune them differently, but they all still share the same transmit queue. If this is a problem, as it is with mice and elephants, you need to provide more isolation.
- Point-to-point channels: Creating dedicated point-to-point channels is another way to establish a separate route through the network, and one which provides dedicated transmission queues. Now you have the ability to tune sets of channels and associated transmission queues, tailoring each to the types of message you expect. Creating an exclusively point-to-point network loses the benefits of clustering, so the usual implementation is a hybrid where the cluster handles most traffic and a limited number of point-to-point channels are created to provide a differentiated class of service.
- Multiple queue managers on one node: In some cases, completely separate queue managers are required. This gives you the ability to tune almost everything at the queue manager level to a specific type of traffic, which can be very helpful when, for example, there are specific requirements for maximum handles, maximum outstanding units of work, log file sizes, broker parameters, or any other queue manager global settings. If your mice and elephants both employ persistent messages, they will have conflicting requirements as to log file tuning, which might lead you to a solution where separate queue managers are required. I usually advise not putting more than two or three queue managers on a server, though, because after that the operating system tunables start to be impacted.
- Queue managers on separate nodes: The ultimate option is to split the traffic between queue managers on different physical servers, where each is tuned for a different type of message. It is common to use this pattern to segregate bulk, long-lived traffic from high-throughput traffic with short lifetimes. In this case, more expensive high capacity hardware is used for the fast traffic while the bulk traffic is handled by commodity hardware with large disk partitions.
It is worth mentioning that classes of service add a third dimension to what was a two-dimensional network. This adds complexity, which means it also adds cost. If the solution requires additional queue managers, it might result in additional instances of other software components in the stack up to and including additional servers. All of these new components should be considered in the contingency plan as well. The business case here is to build out classes of service only when doing so is cheaper than simply throwing horsepower at the problem.
Living with your implementation
If your messaging network is small, you might be wondering how to anticipate which classes of service you will need a year from now. Or, if you have an established network, you might already be struggling with these issues and wondering how to retrofit your network to accommodate classes of service. In either case, the key is to design in the flexibility to easily implement classes of service. It might seem counter-intuitive, but adherence to strict standards improves flexibility by improving interoperability and reducing dependencies in the network.
Here are some common best practices that apply to this discussion and are worth repeating as recommendations:
- Keep it simple. When there are two configurations that provide the same functionality, the simpler one is preferred. Add complexity only when it addresses some business requirement that is not solved in a simpler configuration. For example, overlapping clusters to solve namespace issues is almost never a good idea, but doing so to provide an encrypted network path may be the right solution.
- Standardize on nodes and node separators in queue names. Since the dot character is significant to the Object Authority Manager, it is usually the preferred separator. Nodes in object names are generally constructed left-to-right and generic-to-specific.
- Name queues for the services they represent. In SOA terms, this is an "intention revealing" name. In accordance with SOA principles, the name of the object reveals what it does, not how the function is implemented. Do not include physical attributes, such as the queue manager name, the sending application name (this is an old point-to-point practice), or the type of queue. Do include the version of the service in the queue name so that new service versions can be deployed independent of service consumers.
- Reserve space in object names for a class-of-service qualifier. You do not necessarily need to use it right now, but as long as you set aside a couple of characters for it you can add it later.
- Include the cluster name in the CLUSRCVR channel name. The well-known example is
<cluster>.<qmgr>, which results in a dedicated CLUSRCVR for each cluster. This makes administration of the clusters much easier and more reliable when clusters overlap, but it does restrict cluster and queue manager name lengths.
- Know your data. Have instrumentation on the messaging network to capture run time traffic statistics and reconcile the actual numbers back to the estimates the development team provided prior to implementation. You cannot adequately manage the network based only on message counts. You need to know sizes, persistence, priority, and frequency distribution, plus have the ability to correlate message affiliations within the data stream, such as matching requests to replies. Unless the actual traffic is reconciled back to the estimates, the quality of the estimates never improves. Worse, if you do not know message latencies, then you have no warning when you are approaching a threshold and are about to exceed your SLA.
- Continuing education is important! It would be impossible to condense a description of all the interactions and settings in the queues and queue manager down to an article or two. There is no shortcut to knowing the messaging products at a deep level and applying that skill to your specific environment. As much as Iâd like to sell you services, your enterprise will benefit by growing the expertise in-house.
You will be able to recognize this problem when you see that two different message streams impose conflicting requirements on some system tuning value. For example, the occasional elephant interrupts your flow of mice for several seconds and you cannot tune channel batch sizes to accommodate both message types. At that point, the naming and other standards mentioned above will position you to easily add MQ channels, queues, or clusters into your existing network. The instrumentation mentioned will help you decide when and where to move message streams onto dedicated resources. And finally, education will enable you to perform the necessary analysis and design, and ultimately achieve a successful implementation.

MATTHEW Barton, who has over 20 years experience in the auction business, will hold his first sale under his own banner on November 25 in West Kensington.
The venue, 25 Blythe Road, W14, is the same premises used by Thomas Del Mar to sell antique arms, armour and militaria and Charles Miller for specialist marine and scientific instrument sales.
Barton's career has involved many years at Sotheby's – he was head of their valuations department at the Olympia saleroom – but has also included time with a Nairobi-based auction business and, recently, as a member of the Lyon & Turnbull South team.
Matthew Barton Ltd will be London's only specialist auction house dedicated to the sale of silver, works of art and objects of vertu.
Sales, slated for November and May, will feature a cross-section of material including objects that fall below the minimum lot values now operated by the larger auction houses. Entries can be accepted up to September 23.

Skip to comments.Court Taking Up Abortion Notification (Supreme Court Takes Abortion Case)
Posted on 05/23/2005 8:50:09 AM PDT by Asphalt
click here to read article
If the USSC says that a minor can get an abortion without parental notification, all Hell's gonna break loose.
God help us all if they fark this up.
Totally amazing minors can't get a tooth extracted but can legally get an unwanted human being extracted without parental permission.
Oh, that makes it different. If the child has a serious health problem, by NO means should one inform her parents about it.
(now where was that link to the article about "sarcasm"?)
Isn't the real issue here rape or incest? Is that what 'health problems' is a euphemism for?
Let's see. This court has held one under 18 cannot get the death penalty for anything because of his or her youth. I wonder if age will matter in this case. Should be interesting. If Rehnquist steps down before this one is heard, look for the Mother of All Appointment Battles...
In the main, parents are protectors of their children. Often girls (and I use the term advisedly, but we are talking about minor females here) are brought in for abortions by their adult boyfriends. This is often a part of the continuing pattern of subjugation and manipulation of young girls by older men. It would seem to me that a requirment of parental notification would get the parents, who are naturally protective of their children, involved in a matter where their protection is sorely needed.
Of course there need to be protections and judicial over-ride in cases where the parents are themselves abusive or, worse yet, have fathered the child through incest. But, generally speaking and absent abuse, it is better when parents are involved in the decisions of their children.
I don't see how proponents of abortion can fail to see this point.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Abortion will never be banned in cases where the woman has health problems or "her life is in danger."
Therefore, "if I have this baby I will go into major depression."
"If I have this baby I will kill myself." Just say those magic words and no matter what the restrictions are they will have to perform the abortion.
I agree with you, for me it goes back to the old Hank Williams song.
"Mind your own business and you wont be mindin mine."
How about if parents take some responsability to teach their kids about birth control....
No, "health" is a euphemism for "Pregnancy is a drag, and having a baby would interfere with my social life (education, career, vacation), and I didn't even like the guy."
Hell should have broken loose in 1973, but it didn't. When the courts figured they could get away with murder of babies they knew there was no limits.
Frankly I do not think they would have taken the risk if they did not know the Nixon administration, yes NIXON was not going to do more than make a public but token objection (just for show) and the Congress would not impeach. Sorry folks but I just don't see them doing it without some assurances there.
You sir or madam, are a freakin' idiot.
Yes, that's because a girl under 18 is called just that: a girl. But of course, that's only when the issue is something other than abortion. As the honest, objective AP article above states:
"The New Hampshire law required that a parent or guardian be notified if an abortion was to be done on a woman under 18."
Nice catch. Subtle in their deception, aren't they...
Good point ... and if the judge agrees, he's facilitating the continuing abuse of a minor.
What an idiotic argument. If my daughter's health is in jeopardy, I certainly want to know about it!
The court had the luxury of knowing that Nixon wasn't going to be doing ANYTHING in 1973 that would anger the court or Congress.
Impecable timing for the SC to decide to take up this issue.... in light of the current near-nuke discussion taking place in the Senate. Nothing in politics happens by coincidence.... :)
OK, I'll get my son to impregnate your daughter and then I'll advise the both of them to kill the baby in utero (say...in the third tri-mester)....just remember it's none of your business because abortion is legal.
You say in the main so I guess well disagree about when a person reaches adulthood.
Legally of course you need to be 21 to drink and 18 to vote.
However Id say that adulthood is when you can hurtle down the road in a big truck. They better be adult enough to handle that.
If the parents were so protective of their children in the first place maybe they should have bought them some protection and encouraged its use.
Im not so much a proponent of abortion as a proponent of someone making a choice. Theyll have to live with that choice. There is a difference between the two.
You think it's crazy now, wait until Rehnquist retires in the middle of all this. And if something were to happen with either Stevens or O'Conner you can expect the senate to come to a standstill.
Under 18...somebody's pregnant? Get the District Attorney on the case....that's a possible case of statutory rape..(depending on the state ((some are 16)). Time to start prosecuting for statutory rape. If the boy is 16 or under...prosecute the girl as well.
Yep.... they have taken this case at this time on purpose. Paging SNOW, WARNER, SPECTER, MCCAIN.....
I think abortion should be a choice left to that individual.
But, as many conservatives have told me, the problem with my thinking is that it can be "too much freedom."
Re#27 Absolutely, along with labels and lies. "Conservative" and "Right Wing" activist groups vs. "Public Interest", "Nonpartisan" and "Consumer Advocacy" groups. There is not enough time in the day to keep up with it all...
In this case it should be left to the kids parents.
For many the real problem with abortion starts when the government using our tax dollars decides to start paying for abortions. Then it is no longer an individuals choice. When tax dollars are spent it is rightfully so that tax payers have part of the decision process.
I don't know if that's true in the majority of cases, though I'm not a sociologist. I also agree that threats of violence don't necessarily happen in the majority of cases either. But I'd bet what does happen in a large percentage of cases is that the "boyfriend" (if you can really call him that) puts tremendous pressure on the girl however he can. And thanks to these laws taking away the parental influence, his influence is the only one she has.
I guess well have to agree to disagree. If you can manage a car on our highways when you are 16 then to me you can manage your own body, but see above, Im all about too much freedom according to some.
Free to murder, that is admirable. Short and fits on a bumper sticker. This isn't about freedom and you know it.
This is the battle the left has been waging by proxy for 20+ years. If they can get the USSC to rule that a minor doesn't need consent to have an abortion, then the slippery slope begins for all actions towards minors - statutory rape charges will be null and void because of it as well.
Either you forgot your sarcasm tags or you aren't a parent.
I'm all for choice!
Let the baby, with her unique DNA, decide whether or not she wishes to be aborted.
sure It is. Abortion is about the favorite liberal freedom of all. It is the freedom to be completely irresponsible.
The right time to choose is when the panties are still in place.
Care to weigh in on Sun Hudson?
Looks to me like your the one advocating murder.
Youd be someone who said a stillborn child was alive I guess then.
Before you start throwing flames you might want to do some research on just how many kids starve to death every year.
But its oh so much easier to blame the libertarian, isnt it?
The parents are liable for all medical and psychiatric care that the girl will need afterward. They'll also be responsible to get her to a doctor once they realize how much she's bleeding (perhaps to death). You'd better believe it IS their business.
How do you know that?
Have you any idea how many women cannot have children after they've had abortions because their bodies are damaged beyond repair?
Abortion is just what the term implies: it is an aborting of the natural order of things. After conception, gestation and birth are to follow. If the body cannot sustain the pregnancy due to physical abnormalities, it will eject the fetus on its own (miscarriage).
That's a curious position. Contracts are legal, but minors can't enter into them. When I go away from home, leaving my minor child in the care of his older siblings who are legal adults, I need to leave legal release authorizing his older siblings to seek medical care, otherwise, except for life-threatening circumstances, physicians are forbidden to treat him under existing laws.
The argument for the invalidation of anti-abortion laws was based on some notion (speciouly drawn from the Constitution by a kind of mystical 'reasoning') that the state ought not intrude on the privacy of citizens to enforce uniform judgements about such matters as when life begins. Giving the judgment of those matters to parents in the case of minors is in accord with a great deal of statutory and case law, and (unfortunately) contrary to the howls from the left would not really do anything to 'overturn' Roe.

Vatican bans scantily clad tourists
- From: NewsCore
- July 28, 2010
TOURISTS in skimpy summer clothing are being told to cover up before entering Vatican City.
The ban had previously applied only to St. Peter's Basilica but guards manning the official entry point into the tiny, walled state begun pulling visitors aside for sporting "inappropriate" attire.
The new decree, particularly targeting those in shorts and shoulder-revealing shirts, sent several tourists trudging off to local stores to buy shawls, scarves and pairs of trousers, Italian news agency ANSA reports.
Immodest clothing has been specifically barred from St. Peter's for decades and Vatican officials are seemingly sick of visitors flouting the dress-code.
However, locals just nipping inside the Vatican City walls to use its pharmacy, post office and store were particularity bewildered by the clothing crackdown.
Most are accustomed to treating the Vatican like any other part of Rome.

Like it or lump it, the Vatican is a City State with it's own sovereignty. If you're headed there, you have to be prepared to play by their rules if you want to gain entry... same as you do if you want to enter any other country. Being perfectly honest, if you're a tourist, you want to see the Vatican and St Peter's and you're smart, you'd want to knock over it over on the same day anyway... although I also think that the enforcement of certain "rules" they have in their are pretty inconsistent at times - photography in the Sistene Chapel being a good example, the Staff will only pull up people they think will understand English while anyone else takes happy snaps to their hearts' desire

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Rookie Kenny Clark is poised to take the next step in his young career with the Green Bay Packers.
If defensive tackle Letroy Guion can't play on Sunday against Detroit because of a knee injury, Clark should be in line for much more playing time in the home opener at Lambeau Field.
This could be a momentous weekend for the 20-year-old Clark, the Packers' first-round draft pick from UCLA.
"He definitely made a big jump from Week 1 to Week 2, and he has to take another step this week," coach Mike McCarthy said.
Clark filled in admirably after Guion got hurt in last week's 17-14 loss to Minnesota. Guion and fellow defensive lineman Mike Daniels have spearheaded the Packers' strong start against the run, holding opponents to a league-best 1.63 yards per carry.
Last week, Minnesota's Adrian Peterson was held to 19 yards on 12 carries before leaving the game with a knee injury .
Clark had two tackles and played in 66 percent of the defensive snaps, up from 12 percent the previous week against Jacksonville.
Clark was slowed in training camp by a hamstring injury. Against Jacksonville, the rookie said he was "filling into the game too much," or not really getting adjusted.
"I just needed to just come out and go," Clark said this week. "I felt pretty good out there when I played Minnesota, and as the pace started going on, I felt more comfortable out there."
He has a pretty good mentor lining up alongside of Daniels, a bulldozer of a lineman who is playing the best football of his five-year NFL career. Daniels consistently wins matchups in the trenches.
"I've liked our aggressiveness with the guys up front. … It's not been sit and read, they've been attacking," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said Thursday. "It comes down to lining up and whipping your man a lot of times."
It's not just against the run, either.
Daniels has one of the Packers' six sacks this season. The pass rush has been strong, and the front seven, especially has played well.
"Being able to stop the run the way that we have definitely opens up the pass rush much more," Daniels said.
"You can see by our productivity that the run game is definitely complementing the pass rush very well."
Defensive depth will be tested, though, on Sunday.
Besides Guion, hybrid lineman-linebacker Datone Jones hasn't practiced so far this week because of a knee injury.
Another lineman, Mike Pennel, is halfway through a four-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.
To help fill depth, the Packers activated defensive tackle Brian Price from the practice squad on Thursday. But expect Clark to get the first chance to line up next to Daniels if Guion can't play.
"You see signs of what Kenny can do. And so, those young guys have to grow up in a hurry because we need them," Capers said.
The Packers' best pass rusher, LB Clay Matthews, missed practice again because of ankle and hamstring injuries suffered in the Vikings game. S Morgan Burnett (hamstring) also sat out on Thursday. … Starting CB Sam Shields (concussion) remains out. … OL T.J. Lang was added to the injury report on Thursday with a hip injury.
"He's got some testing to do or something. He'll be fine," offensive line coach James Campen said.
S Chris Banjo and LB Jayrone Elliott, each with hamstring injuries, were full participants in practice for a second straight day. The special teams standouts missed the season's first two games.

Hi Kyla
You need to follow the proper steps to get out of debt. I suggest you start with our Budgeting/Money Management tutorials.
Track your spending
Write up a budget - include what you can afford for debt payoff. Here is a great online budget calculator (and it lets you print it out) to try here
Try to follow the budget, but adjust when needed.
Check out other options to get out of debt to see if they are a fit for your situation, like bankruptcy, debt settlement/negotiation, credit counseling, or a consolidation loan.

Posted by: Niki (Benton Harbor, MO, USA)
What's the best way to lower credit card debt without paying insane interest charges?
Hi Niki,
Consider one of the quick methods if they fit your situation. These would be bankruptcy, credit counseling or debt negotiation. Bankruptcy eliminates qualified debt. Credit Counseling and Debt Negotiation both negotiate with creditors to reduce interest rates, late fees, and in the case of Debt Negotiation/Settlement, they even negotiate to reduce principal.

Can we sell the car and put the money towards the loan? Is that how it works?

How can I control impulsive spending?
Hi Mercy,
You need to work on the envelope system of budgeting. Once you set envelopes for your monthly expenses, you can set one envelope to be for your impulsive spending.
Set your mind to NOT spend impulsively from other envelopes and to NOT use credit cards (leave those at home!). With family/friends providing emotional support, you can do it!

There are many preventative screenings you can and should be making, but how often should you schedule them and just what ones do you need to be doing? Dr. Keri discusses the major appointments and the tests you need to make each year, how many times to see the doctors and why it is so important.
Once a Month Breast self-exam: Check your girls for unusual lumps or bumps monthly so you can stay on top of any changes. The best time to do it is a few days after your period ends.
Skin self-exam: The Skin Cancer Foundation strongly recommends that you check out your body once a month for any new or unusual spots or marks. Just remember your ABCDEs: asymmetry, border irregularity, uneven color, diameter bigger than 6 mm, and evolving shape and size.
Every Six Months Dental check-up: Make sure to hit up the dentist's chair twice a year for cleanings and other preventative maintenance, but you should only get dental X-rays on an as needed basis to prevent unnecessary exposure to radiation, according to the American Dental Association's recommendations.
Once a Year Full physical exam: This annual check-up should include a height and weight check, a blood pressure screening, a clinical breast exam, and any blood tests your doctor deems necessary. These may include tests for blood sugar, blood count, hormone levels, and other crucial markers.
Pap smear: If you've had three consecutive normal pap smears, are in a mutually monogamous relationship, and have no other risk factors, you could technically go three years between screenings. However, most doctors still suggest women see their gynecologist once a year and get a pap smear while they're there. Your pap tests for any changes or abnormalities in the cells in your cervix, which is a way to screen for cervical cancer,. For women 21-29, any mild irregularities in the pap test will prompt an HPV test to check for the high-risk strains of the HPV virus. Other than that, you probably won't get an HPV test until you're 30. (See below for more info on HPV testing)
Pelvic exam: Even if you aren't getting an annual pap smear, it's important to visit your OB/GYN annually for a routine pelvic exam, where she'll feel around for your uterus and ovaries. This is a way to check for fibroids, cysts or any pain or swelling that might indicate an infection.
HIV tests: Get tested annually at your doctor's office or a health clinic. The most accurate screening is a still a blood test, though you may get a mouth swab in some cases.
Other STD tests: It's recommended that sexually active women get tested for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea annually until age 25. These can be run off your pap or with a separate swab of your cervix. After age 25, it's still recommended that you get tested regularly for the range of STDs—including hepatitis b and c, syphilis, and the lesser-known trichomoniasis—based on your own risk factors, which you should discuss with your doctor. Of course, it's also a smart idea to get tested before you have a new sexual partner or if you have any usual symptoms.
Eye exams: The American Optometric Association recommends eye exams at least once every two years, though annual exams are suggested for anyone with current vision problems (if you wear glasses or contacts, that includes you).
Every Other Year Skin cancer screening: Skin cancer is a huge issue for women in their twenties, so see your dermatologist before your biennial appointment if you notice any suspicious marks.
Slightly Less Often HPV test: At age 30, women should start getting an HPV test with their pap every five years. Luckily, it's relatively quick and painless since the test uses the same cervical swab as your pap. Prior to age 30, you should not be getting tested regularly for HPV unless you have an abnormal pap, since strains of the disease are so common in younger woman and they typically go away on their own,.
Cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood count: Your doctor will want to check these at least once in your twenties and once in your thirties, though some physicians give a guideline of testing them once every five years.
Thyroid test: Starting at age 35, it's recommended that you check your thyroid levels via a blood test and have them re-tested ever five years after that,.
Down the Road* Colonoscopy: This test should come right around your 50th birthday, unless your family history warrants an earlier screening,. If you have a first-degree relative with colon cancer, it's recommended that you start your screening 10 years before their age at diagnosis.
Diabetes screening: Routine diabetes screenings (which involve a blood sugar test) start at age 50 and should be done once every three years,
Mammograms: At 40, you'll want to start scheduling annual mammograms, though your doctor may recommended screening earlier if you have a family history.
*For women in their 20s and 30s
Only As Needed Don't be shocked if your doctor orders a blood test outside of these general guidelines, since many health checks are done on an as-needed basis. Things like your hormone levels, blood sugar, vitamin D levels, and iron deficiencies can all be seen in a blood test and may be ordered if you come in with certain symptoms.

2006 Pontiac Torrent Overview
Since Pontiac is GM's performance division, with an emphasis on sportiness and driving excitement, it's surprising that it took so long for them to release an SUV. The 2006 Pontiac Torrent is just that, a compact SUV based on a car platform, offering all the convenient storage and heft of an SUV, with the lighter weight and handling of a car.
The 2006 Torrent debuts in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive formats. Both are powered by a 3.4-liter, 185-hp V6 and 5-speed automatic and come equipped with a sports-tuned suspension. Sitting on 16-inch tires, the Torrent is similar to the Chevy Equinox, with just a few exterior Pontiac stylistic touches to differentiate the two. Being a compact SUV, it only offers two rows of seats for five passengers. The second row can move forward or back to adjust for legroom or cargo space. The seats also fold down, along with the front passenger seat, allowing you to fit skis or oversized pieces of wood.
ABS brakes, dual front airbags, air conditioning, remote entry, fog lights, power windows, and power outlets in the tailgate are all standard in the 2006 Torrent. Packages add a moonroof, power seats, leather upholstery, and OnStar. A Cargo Storage package adds in-floor and in-wheel compartments, tie-downs, a shelf, and a pull-out table.
Owners of the 2007 Torrent love its roominess and comfortable seats. Acceleration is responsive and the overall driving experience fun and peppy. Handling is easy and smooth. Drawbacks include poor gas mileage, several blind spots, poor location of cupholders, and a cheap-looking interior.

What Should I Tell My Healthcare Provider Before Taking CIALIS? fast or irregular heartbeat viagra mechanism of action Assignee(s): Bayer Intellectual Property GmbH chills
Naturally, Cialis is far not the only ED medication that doesn't work that well when combined with alcohol. In fact, some men who tried both Cialis and Viagra say that the good old blue pills turn into a real nightmare when popped together with some liquor. Okay, you can get the Willy up but you just can't make it go down. In addition to that, you get heartburn, terribly low pressure and the overall feeling of malaise. It's far not as bad with Cialis, they say. Thus, if you've got a night of drinking (and, hopefully, boinking) ahead of you, we'd say you should rather go with Cialis – but still try to avoid drinking too much. levitra stories Part 4 of 6: Side Effects

Winchester disk driveAnother term for hard disk drive. The term Winchester comes from an early type of disk drive developed by IBM that had 30MB of fixed storage and 30MB of removable storage; so its inventors called it a Winchester in honor of its 30/30 rifle. Although modern disk drives are faster and hold more data, the basic technology is the same, so Winchester has become synonymous with hard.

Color Doppler viagra duration time can be used to make the same diagnosis. • Splenic vein thrombosis is detected by lack of normal enhancement in the expected region of the splenic vein on MDCT and is present in up to 35% of cases of chronic pancreatitis. MDCT is probably best for identifying pseudoaneurysms, which present as densely enhancing structures, usually in close proximity to a pseudocyst.
ULTRASOunD, COMPuTED TOMOgRAPHY, MAgnETIc RESOnAncE IMAGING • Pseudoaneurysms, resulting from enzymatic breakdown of the arterial wall, most commonly involve the splenic artery, followed by the gastroduodenal and pancreaticoduodenal arteries. Which is successful in at least 75% of cases, angiography can be performed for embolization. Thrombosis of the portal and superior mesenteric veins, although less common, is also well imaged by both modalities.
Rupture of the pseudoaneurysm can occur in up to 6% of cases resulting in massive hemorrhage usually into a pseudocyst but can occur into the retroperitoneum, peritoneal cavity, pancreatic duct, or bowel, resulting in a GI bleed. US with color Doppler can be just as sensitive in detecting pseudoaneurysms and their complications, provided that there is no overlying bowel gas.

In obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), results are inconsistent regarding the behavioral effects of oral versus intravenous viagra duration time administration of mCPP (Charney et al., 1986. Transnosological Approach As stated earlier with regard to CSF 6-HIAA, it is possible to isolate a cluster of symptoms that cuts across the boundaries of different DSM Axis I and Axis II diagnostic criteria.

The implication of such findings for designers viagra duration time of human-machine systems are direct. A similar pattern of effects obtained in later experiments in which subjects performed the task by manipulating 5-D blocks, rather than computer icons, as long as the model, workspace, and resource pool were close enough (within 19° of visual angle) together for subjects to scan between them using eye movements and short head movements. Results changed, however, when the model and workspace were separated by a greater distance , such that large head movements were viagra duration time necessary to scan between them. In these cases, subjects relied more heavily on visual working memory, gathering and remembering a greater amount of information with each look at the model and therefore reducing the need for long-distance, high-effort gaze shifts between the model and the workspace.
Rather than attempting to remember the model as a whole, or to simultaneously remember both the color and location of the next block to be placed, subjects tended to fixate the model once before selecting each block from the resource pool, to gaze at the resource pool in order to pick up a block, then to look at the model again before placing the selected block.
