The final nail in the mercury-autism hypothesis?
Two and a half years ago, very early in the history of this blog, I wrote one of my usual logorrheic (although I prefer the word "comprehensive") posts entitled Mercury in vaccines as a cause of autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs): A failed hypothesis. In that post, I characterized the scientifically discredited notion that the mercury in the thimerosal preservative that used to be in several childhood vaccines was the cause of the "autism epidemic" as "one of the most pernicious medical myths of recent years." And so it is. I like to characterize the notion that thimerosal-containing vaccines (TCVs) cause autism as the American version of the British myth, popularized by Andrew Wakefield and a sensationalistic British press, that the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autism and "autistic enterocolitis."
Both notions were based on confusing correlation with causation, aided and abetted by some truly bad science, and both notions have been painfully difficult to dislodge. Indeed, in the case of Wakefield, only now that Wakefield was stripped of his license to practice in the U.K. by its General Medical Council, leading to The Lancet finally doing what it should have done six years ago and retracting Wakefield's 1998 study that sparked the MMR frenzy in the U.K. and arguably kickstarted the modern anti-vaccine movement, do I sense that journalists are finally "getting" that science does not support the idea that the MMR vaccine causes autism. Andrew Wakefield may be trying to fight back with his book Callous Disregard after his disgrace was complete, basking in the glow of admiration of die-hard anti-vaccine groups, but, for now, at least, Wakefield and his MMR fear mongering are yesterday's news, and that's a very good thing indeed–at least for as long as it lasts.
Perhaps it is the fall of Andy Wakefield that has led to an apparent resurgence of the concept that mercury in TCVs somehow causes autism, after having faded into the background after the CDC and AAP recommended that thimerosal be removed from all childhood vaccines in 1999 and the last TCV having expired towards the end of 2001. After all, if the hypothesis that TCVs cause autism had been correct, we should have expected to see a marked decrease in the incidence of autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) within about 5 years of 2002, given that the vast majority of cases of ASDs are diagnosed between the ages of 2 and 5. We have not, and, even though its adherents have kept moving the goalposts back regarding the date that we should start to see a leveling off and drop in the incidence of ASDs, starting with 2005, then 2007, and now, apparently, 2011 (which is only less than four months away, by the way), even Jenny McCarthy's anti-vaccine organization originally founded by J.B. Handley and his wife, namely Generation Rescue, began demphasizing mercury in 2007, after having stated flatly on its website that autism is a "misdiagnosis for mercury poisoning" for so long. Since then, "too many, too soon" has been the favored propaganda talking point.
Of course, not every crank is ready to abandon the myth that TCVs cause autism. Indeed, tomorrow two mercury militia "heavy hitters" and bloggers for the anti-vaccine propaganda blog Age of Autism, Mark Blaxill and Dan Olmsted, will be releasing a book entitled Age of Autism: Mercury, Medicine, and a Manmade Epidemic. In anticipation, four weeks ago I actually e-mailed the publicist to send me a review copy of Age of Autism. I have yet to receive the book. I wonder why. Be that as it may, it amuses me that the official release of the release of the not-so-dynamic duo of the mercury militia's book actually will one day after a study that is arguably the last nail in the coffin of the very dead hypothesis that TCVs cause autism was released. Either the great pharma conspiracy is far more conniving and effective than even J.B. Handley thinks, or Blaxill and Olmsted's luck is just that bad. As I anticipate the conspiracy mongering posts about this bad timing aside, let's just take a look at this last coffin nail, which is a study by Price et al that was released today in the journal Pediatrics entitled Prenatal and Infant Exposure to Thimerosal From Vaccines and Immunoglobulins and Risk of Autism.

While reading the copy source in MoveImage was always to be preceded,
Since it was found that a simple design which is reset for each block line
In line drawing, it did not assume an illegal drawing area (xmin> xmax)
A phenomenon in which the image is distorted to be due to the fact that the sprite is two dots at a time processing
It was to reproduce.

Comments: 0
FB Alpha or FBA as it is commonly known is an emulator of arcade games, that is, it takes the program code, graphics data, etc., from an original arcade game and emulates the hardware to make the game run in it's original form. As far as the game is concerned it is running in it's original cabinet.
FB Alpha is an open-source project and it is programmed by a group of people known as the FBA Team. Over the years this has comprised of myself, Jan_Klaassen, KEV, LoopMaster, Mike Haggar, Hyper Yagami and Ayeye. FB Alpha is based on the original FinalBurn by Dave.

text: oo now this is an interesting comparison, i have been really surprised with deng's slow start, as said above hes playin uptempo with a future superstar in d-rose, nd im jst as surprised by chandler's fast start. at this moment, contracts aside, i would take chandler especially seeing how he gets better and better. i also like chandler's improving jump shot which i believe can elevate him from a 15 pt guy rite now to a 20-22 pt guy in the future. I also think chandler's rebounding is pretty good for a guy his size (his rebounding stats are obviously going to be helped now that hes one of bigger players on da team). In my mind neither of these guys will become superstars, but i believe chandler has the brighter future ahead of him

Simply Lovely
By JS
from Toronto
I bought this product for when I travel and to eliminate about 7 bottles/jars. It goes on silky and absorbs quickly with no greasy feeling at all. I have eczema around my eyes and it does not irritate it at all and actually feels soothing. It is very convenient to use and I find it effective on my skin.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Mereadesso All-In-One Moisturizer
By Lady Sunshine
I have used the All_in_one Moisturizer for 3 weeks now, and although my porse on my nose got smaller, I don't see any difference in my skin. I still need to use my regular Serum, regular Eye cream and regular Day and Night cream, all bought from the TSC and great products. And yes, every skin is different, so I am happy for the people that love this product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
( 7 of 7 customers found this review helpful)
By Jenny
from Barrie
I can appreciate the other reviews on this moisturizer because it is very good. However, if you have dry or mature face, it is not hydrating enough. I had to keep using my serums underneath to keep hydrated. So because of the price point, I could not continue to use it. Also, because the package did not come from TSC there was some confusion as to how and who to return it too!
By Newbie
from Vancouver, BC
This has to be the best moisturizer I have ever used! The fine (and not so fine) lines around my eyes are gone! And so are the large pores. This product is amazing and convenient. One bottle for eyes, face and neck - this is great.Really hope that TSC will bring this skin care line as a ShowStopper soon. . .Great product - thank you!
By shopper
from Saskatchewan
This really is the best skin creme I have ever used!My skin has been blemish free and radiant since I started using this. My pores have diminished and my skin has a glow about it. I never want to be without this! It is well worth the money!

Love this product
By Cheryl
I love the way this moisturizer smells, and how wonderful my skin looks. I don't have anymore problems with my skin breaking out with blemishes. Even with me having sensitive eyes, I have no problems with this product. I just wish the bottle was clear so that I could see how much I had left so that I could re-order before running out completely.

A Woman of a certain age
By A Woman of a certain age...
from Ontario
This all in one moisturiser is simply the best. At first I globbed on way too much, which made my skin rather sticky and tacky to the touch. A friend of mine told me not to use so much, and I actually listened to her!! Lucky it has a nice light fresh fragrance (not heavy like alot of other moisturisers) or else I would have smelt like an air freshener walking into the room when at first I used way too much. So, at first 3 pumps, then 2 pumps, now only 1 pump!! It moisturises my face and neck to perfection. I have also noticed that my rosacea on my cheeks has diminished!! I ain't no spring chicken any more so really appreciate the all in one approach. No fuss. No Muss. Perfect.
The PERFECT Product!
By Javril
I've used this product for five years and it is still my favourite. It's everything you need in one bottle. It's a night and day cream, face, neck and eye treatment. It truly is the perfect product.
Mèreadesso All-In-One Moisturizer
By Stacey
from Montreal
Love this product, I can't go a day without it! It leaves my skin fresh and healthy looking, even in the dead of winter. If you have really dry skin and need a one-stop remedy, the Mèreadesso all-in-one moisturizer is the best way to go. It completely changed the look and feel of my face and has been a life-saver!
By FitnessGirl
from Montreal, Quebec
This moisturizer leaves my skin feeling silky smooth every time I use it. One of my favourite features would have to be that it primes my skin before applying make up. I love the matte finish and even tone I have before touching it up with cover up, foundation or powder. I am in my late twenties so giving my skin as much moisture as possible to maintain its elasticity for as long as possible is one of my primary concerns. This Mereadesso product minimizes fine lines while replenishing my skin from its dull dry appearance during the winter months - definitely worth a try! I would highly recommend this moisturizer to any woman of any age :)

Koufax found wondering in the parking lot
Getting to the stadium early for batting practice you meet a lot of fans. Last night on Sandy Koufax bobblehead night, after the 7th inning stretch we noticed Michael who we usually see during BP, was standing behind us. He was asking "Who did I miss during BP? We told him "Maury Wills was signing" He has gotten Maury Wills autograph before. We also told him Sandy Koufax did not appear to be at the stadium that night. He then started telling us why he was late. Here is his story:
"I got to the stadium early today (8/7) because it was not just a bobble head game, but the Sandy Koufax bobble head game. The most popular bobble head, right up there with the upcoming Vin Scully bobble head.
I was able to park on Stadium Way in front of the Barlow Hospital, and around 4:40pm, walked over to wait with the other fans at the Elysian Park entrance, where we would be let in at 5:10pm.
I saw three boys petting and playing with a young kitten who was just laying on the sidewalk just inside the Dodger Stadium parking gate. I asked if it was their kitten and they said no, they had just found it there. One of the boys was able to pick the kitten up and it seemed pretty tame. I picked the kitten up, and it appeared to be a boy and about eight weeks old. I went to the front of the line with the kitten and told the security guard about it. I said I wanted to take the kitten home, but wondered if someone at Dodger Stadium could keep it somewhere until the end of the game. The security officer said probably not, and pointed me to the main parking hut, where the security guards let people into the stadium. I told them my story, and they said they couldn't help, but did offer me some water for the kitten.
My options seemed to be to have security call animal services and pick up the kitten, or leave the kitten in my car until the game was over some five or six hours later.
Neither opinion seemed reasonable, as I didn't want the kitten taken to the pound, nor did I want to leave it in a car for hours when it was about 90 degrees out. I also didn't think leaving the kitten where it was found was very safe, as it was next to the 10 lanes of traffic where people drive in and out of Dodger Stadium.
While my daughter Dianna kept the kitten company in the car, I went to the Barlow Hospital but they couldn't help either. I called the Dodger Fan Assistance line and they also could not help me.
I ended up calling my wife Donna, and she drove from Sherman Oaks, while I drove to back to Griffith Park, so we could meet half way at the zoo parking lot, and I passed the kitten over to her so she could take him home.
We ended up making it back to the game and getting our bobble heads, but missed batting practice and the chance to get autographs. A small price to pay for saving a life. The kitten is doing fine. We're going to call him "Koufax."
Meet Koufax
Thanks Michael for sharing the story and the pictures of your kitty Koufax. Thank you for giving little Koufax a home.
8 Comments
I love this Emma! Thanks for sharing!
me too! When Michael was telling me and showing us the picture of kitty Koufax, I asked him if I could share.
OMG what a lovely story. And what a perfect name for the kitten…Koufax!
Yes Rosie. Yes, that is a perfect name for the kitty. I was looking for a picture of Michael but could not find it.
Nice to see how far out of his way Michael went to make sure the kitten was taken care of. Good man! I'm really glad he was there for Koufax (bobblehead and kitten) Too bad Sandy wasn't at the game, even to just take a bow. I know Greg and the other Dodger fans would have LOVED that
Yes, we are all glad that Michael was there and that he and his wife welcomed kitty Koufax into their home. Yes, too bad Sandy was not there. Maybe he was but none of us saw him.
Received email from Alex who sits in the TD . He said " I read the story about El Gato Koufax,, my cell wont let me respond. "saw the cat at 3:30 when it climbed from under the fence and almost got run over. It was meowing loudly as it appeared malnourishded & needed attention. I was happy to read about the happy ending"
Sir good job indeed. I am sure you and your family will be blessed having your new addition to your home.
I found a homeless kitten and she is now six years old. Six years of friendship and added joy.

We have been trying to get my DS to try some solids now that he is 7mo. We've tried all the usual suspects i.e. cereals, banana, avocado etc. Nothing will go in his mouth-he refuses a spoon. But he nurses constantly, has been pulling all nighters and seems hungry for more.
The other night my DH roasted a chicken and while eating it my DS was franticly trying to get at it. I put a teeny bit of white meat in his mouth and he he was even more frantic to have more. He just gummed it right up without so much as a little cough. No choking.
What does this mean? He is EBF and I am a sahm. He's my 3rd child and the other two did the traditional puree thing just fine.
Is it time for me to try a new approach with this one?

Your legal education is a major investment and you are urged to begin financial planning as you begin the admissions process. The Washington College of Law financial aid program is designed to assist you in filling the gap between your resources and educational costs. The law school, the university and a variety of federal and private lenders all offer resources which can be utilized to meet expenses. For most students the major portion of law school costs are met through loan programs. Loans are available through the Federal Stafford Loan and Graduate Plus Programs and through banks and other lenders.
Aid offered by the Washington College of Law is awarded on the basis of need. While assistance is available through our grant program, it is expected that you and your family will make a reasonable effort to contribute to your expenses from your own resources. Further, grant applicants are expected to exhaust all available resources including the maximum available under the Stafford Loan Program as a condition of grant consideration.

It's probably not a secret that sports fans can be insane.
Like seriously, where else do you see grown men painting their faces, acting like complete hooligans and even crying over something that they have absolutely no impact on?
But just because sports are an integral part of our personalities, doesn't mean we can get away with everything as a fan.
While it's completely cool to be superstitious and passionate, there are just some things no fan should ever do—and these are them.

And why shouldn't he be? He's a director and supporter of Hunslet, I don't know about you but I'd do anything necessary to keep my club afloat and competing. Just give it a rest man, you must have written nigh on 200 posts regarding dual-reg and it doesn't concern you or your club one bit. Go for a walk or something.
It would have been better for him not to have written anything than to include other clubs the way he has.

Brian Scott Finishes 14th at Chicagoland Speedway
Brian Scott and the No. 2 Shore Lodge team traveled to Chciagoland Speedway for the NASCAR Nationwide Series' 27th race of the 2013 season with added confidence after a strong finish at Richmond International Raceway last weekend. Scott started the 300-mile affair from the 19th
position, battled a tight condition for the majority of the event and earned a 14th-place finish. The 25-year-old competitor moved inside the top-15 during the early laps using the momentum from the top groove, but reported to crew chief Phil Gould he was extremely tight through the corners. The first caution flag was displayed on lap 23, allowing Scott to bring his Shore Lodge Chevrolet to the attention of his pit crew for two tires, fuel and a chassis adjustment. The Boise, Idaho-native restarted second on the ensuing restart after taking two tires. While the field set in for a lengthy green-flag run, Scott reported the adjustments helped the handling of his Chevrolet, but he was still too tight. Gould called the Richard Childress Racing driver to pit road under green-flag conditions for four tires, fuel and another chassis adjustment. Once pit stops cycled through, Scott was shown in the 19th
position. Through the next several laps he battled for track position climbing as high as 12th, but made contact with the outside wall during a late-race restart and suffered right-side damage. The damage caused his Chevrolet to become even tighter and he ultimately crossed the finish line in the 14th spot.
Start - 19 Finish - 14 Laps Led - 0 Points - 7th
BRIAN SCOTT QUOTE: "We were just too tight all weekend. From the time we unloaded our Shore Lodge Camaro through the whole race we battled the tight-handling issue, which was really different from our first visit to Chicagoland Speedway earlier this season. I'm proud of the guys on pit road, they were solid all day long. We'll evaluate and learn from this race and move on to Kentucky Speedway next week."
Austin Dillon Earns Top-Five Finish in No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet
Austin Dillon drove Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet to a fourth-place finish in the Dollar General 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday afternoon, after starting the 200-lap race from the second position. Dillon reported to crew chief Danny Stockman the black No. 3 Chevrolet was tight in the middle of the corners during the initial run, prompting the team to make a chassis adjustment during the first round of pit stops under caution on lap 26. The Welcome, N.C. driver restarted in the sixth spot on lap 28, but struggled with a loose-handling condition on exit of the corners during the ensuing run, prompting an additional adjustment during a lap-84, green-flag pit stop. Running solidly in the top five for a majority of the 300-mile race, Dillon was scored in the fourth position for a restart on lap 171 and took the opportunity to make a three-wide pass to claim the second position. Several late-race restarts ensued in which he battled side-by-side with fellow championship point contender Sam Hornish Jr. for the second position. Dillon prevailed and maintained the second position before developing a tight-handling condition and dropping to fourth for the race's finish.
Start - 2 Finish - 4 Laps Led - 0 Points - 2nd
AUSTIN DILLON QUOTE: "The No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet was just a little bit tight during the final run, which caused us to drop a few spots. It was fun racing side-by-side with the No. 12 car towards the end of the race. Sam Hornish, Jr. is a great competitor and this championship is going to come down to who is going to make a mistake. If he ends up making one, we will be there."
Kevin Harvick Collects Top-10 Finish in Nationwide Race
Kevin Harvick and the No. 33 Rheem/MenardsChevrolet team battled handling issues during the Dollar General 300 on Saturday afternoon and finished ninth at Chicagoland Speedway. Starting from the 13th position, the two-time NASCAR Nationwide Series champion maneuvered his way into the top 10 within the first 10 laps of the 200-lap affair, while battling a Chevrolet that was tight in and loose off of the turns. The Ernie Cope-led pit crew made adjustments to the car during scheduled four-tire pit stops on laps 25, 82 and 109 in an effort to alleviate the handling issue. Harvick was running in the fifth position when he alerted the team the handling of the neon yellow machine had transitioned from loose to tight during the final laps of the event, leaving him to settle for a ninth-place result.
Start - 13 Finish - 9 Laps Led - 0 Owner Points - 11th
KEVIN HARVICK QUOTE: "This wasn't the most fun race for our team today. We had a solid run, but struggled all day to find the right handling we needed to get the Rheem/Menards Chevrolet up front."

"We know that in everything God works for good with those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose."
The miracle working power of God becomes obvious, not in His intervention between us and our sufferings, though some of us can bear witness to such apparent divine interventions in our lives, but in the amazing way in which "God works for good with those who love Him…." We can all testify how some of the terrible things that have happened to us became events or instruments which truly did work for good, drawing us closer to God or serving to accomplish His purposes in and through us. Paul believed that God was with him and would work through him whatever the circumstances that pressed in upon him, and he tells us to "give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
Of this we can be sure: God is with us whatever happens on our daily course through this life. Not only that, but He is able and ready to work out His purposes in and through even the tragic events of our lives. When we hurt, God hurts; such is His love for us, even if He does not intervene to shield us from tragedies. He promises to stay close to us, to help us to cope, and to use our suffering as well as our joys to accomplish His purpose in and through our lives.

• Chief Justice Commission

• Current reserves were at $4.5 million. All expenses were in line with the budget. This year's expected losses were $105,000, which was less than projected.
Informational Reports
Legislative Update
• CBA Lobbyist Michael Valdez recapped the recently concluded legislative session.
• Updates on legislation in which the CBA was involved:
— CBA-sponsored legislation: Probate Code Omnibus bill (SB 13-70); Benefit Corporations (HB 13-1138); UCC Article 9—Secured Transactions (HB 13-1284); and Filing of Deeds of Trust (HB 13-1307). Valdez also reported that all of the Judicial Branch priorities were funded.
— Legal Services for Domestic Violence Victims: Strong support from the Access to Justice Commission helped increase the budget line item for the Family Violence Justice Fund (legal services) to $1,170,000. This was a $512,000 increase in the general fund appropriation over the current appropriation.
— Initiatives that impact the judiciary: Currently there were no initiatives filed that would impact the judiciary. Valdez stated that the November ballot could only have TABOR issues and the CBA did not expect a ballot issue for 2013. He and staff would be watching for possible initiatives with a negative impact on the judiciary for the 2014 election cycle.
— Valdez reminded the BOG that the August issue of The Colorado Lawyer would contain the annual summary of legislation of interest to practitioners. He also told the BOG that he was available to present a one-hour CLE legislative update for the local bars.
Colorado Mentoring Program
• John Baker, Executive Director of the Colorado Mentoring Program, reported that he believed that the Colorado legal community would survive the change in the profession as outlined by Arizona attorney Mark Lassiter. Baker would be traveling to all twenty-two judicial districts to evaluate their existing mentoring programs. His office would act as a resource for those that have programs and will assist developing mentoring programs for those that didn't have one.
Court Reports
• Colorado Supreme Court
— Chief Justice Bender showed a "Rule of Law" video—now on display at the new Judicial Learning Center—that highlights the importance of the U.S. justice system. Additionally, ten new employees were hired to help with pro se clients. He praised John Baker's new position as Executive Director of CAMP and the Colorado Lawyers for Colorado Veterans program. He also congratulated Mark Fogg and Chuck Turner for their leadership and work with the Chief Justice's Commission. He highlighted the visit by Colorado Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor for the Ralph L. Carr Judicial Center dedication.
• Colorado Court of Appeals
— Judge Alan Loeb reported that the court currently has twenty-two judges. He highlighted the public outreach program the courts were participating in. He also noted that court of appeals judges had been visiting all of the judicial districts in Colorado and meeting with the judges, magistrates, and administrators to observe how the system operated around the state. Judges also were meeting with legislators and their staff at the Capitol in Denver, so that the judges and lawmakers understand what each branch does. He praised the Supreme Court Librarian and staff for the work they had done with the new library.
Law School Reports
• University of Denver Sturm College of Law (DU Law)
— Senior Associate Dean Fred Cheever reported that across the country, applications to law schools were down, but DU Law had not experienced a decrease. He stated their bar passage rate was at 90%. Fall students would experience a five-day session, which is different from the current one, and would have a low student–teacher ratio in the first year. The law school would offer twenty-four credit hours in experiential learning. He noted that in the last three years, DU Law has moved up sixteen spots in three years in the US News rankings, and that employment figures were at 90% for the 2012 class. He thanked the legal community for its support of the school and volunteerism.
• University of Colorado Law School (CU Law)
— Dean Weiser congratulated Justice Bender for receiving the top honor at CU Law's Annual Alumni Dinner and announced that the Mike Bender Engagement Fund had been established. He also thanked Mark Fogg for his leadership at the CBA. CU Law's graduation ceremony included a theme of humility and service as attorneys. Weiser highlighted the Colorado Action Plan and provided handouts on the program. He noted that CU Law had not raised tuition and was committed not to do so in the foreseeable future. CU Law was focused on giving scholarships to those who become lawyers in under-represented areas. CU Law has statistics on its website that looked at jobs graduating students take after law school. CU Law's Natural Resources Law Center recently was renamed the Getches–Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and Environment in honor of Dean Getches and Charles Wilkinson.

how to wean when you're pumping exclusively?
can anyone give me advice on how to wean when pumping exclusively? i have a 21 month old and want to wean due to pregnancy b/c i've been having some spotting. i have always had a mega supply and it has recently decreased some since the PG. but, i am still pumping about 36 - 40 ounces a day - i pump 3 times a day - about 16 ounces in the morning, 10 ounces in the afternoon, and 12 ounces in the evening before bed. it takes me 30 - 60 minutes to pump each session.
can anyone recommend how i might begin the weaning process? obviously i would like to wean ASAP due to pregnancy, but i know common sense says that could bring problems with engorgement and infections, etc. so any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks so much!

Even though there has been an upswing in recent months, the economy of the nation as a whole is still troubled, and many of us struggle to make ends meet. Tens of thousands are unemployed, while others work more than one job in order to put food on the table. With winter on the horizon, heating bills loom, along with a need to clothe the kids and stoke the fire, while juggling the bills. While many of these issues hit home, life in the Upper Delaware Valley continues to inspire, and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to lend my support to good causes for others less fortunate than myself.
As I travel the countryside, one word constantly comes to mind: community. After college, I struck out on my own, determined to make my mark on the world, seeking fame and fortune and giving little thought to others, believing that the ills of the world were someone else's problem and that (no matter what I heard) one person could not actually make a difference. I found a tiny bit of fame along the way, and what little fortune I accumulated slipped through my fingers as quickly as it came. Depressed and dejected, I reexamined my priorities, packed it in and made my way back home, where the heart is.
Almost immediately, I was humbled by the outpouring of community spirit that abounds here in the region. Observing neighbors helping neighbors, with a generosity of spirit that I had never witnessed before, it wasn't long before I felt the need to be an active member, and sought ways that I could participate. Since money is often scarce, volunteerism seemed like a good idea, and (being less selfish than in my youth,) I decided to donate what I could—time. September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and last year I chose to join the fight by standing in solidarity with the kids and shave my head during the local St. Baldrick's "Line of Hope/Conga against Cancer across America" that Eldred's Lou Monteleone organizes every fall. Monteleone toils all year long to help others and his yearly events (www.stbaldricks.org/conga) raise thousands of dollars to help eradicate childhood cancer in our lifetime. The expression "bald is beautiful" comes to mind, but I allowed my (still selfish) vanity to prevail this year and sponsored others, seeking a way to contribute and still keep my hair. Although the Line of Hope has already taken place, it's never too late to make a contribution, and one can contact Lou at 845/557-3321. Every dime helps.

Re: Clint on Duck Dynasty
Sure the show is staged a little bit.....ok, a LOT, but the emotions are real, and ol' Phil sure has a ton of wisdom that should be taught to many knuckleheads of this generation, and to the next generation!

The Loch Ness Monster smiles for the camera -- sort of, Ellis Island closes, actor William Holden passes away, and Madonna releases "Like a Virgin," all on this day.
1933: Hugh Gray takes the first known purported photos of the Loch Ness Monster. Walking along the loch after church, Gray took several pictures of a creature that rose up from the lake, but only one of them showed up after they were developed. The image appeared to show a creature with a long tail and thick body at the surface of the loch. The image is blurred, suggesting the animal was splashing.

December 26, 2012 —
In 2006, my husband William C. Morris (known as Chris) fired a rifle at a police officer in Narrowsburg, NY.
Our lives changed forever. Chris was sentenced to 10 years in prison and has served six.
In 1999, my husband was diagnosed with late-stage Lyme Disease, which entered his brain and nervous system causing high fevers and many other symptoms. He was prescribed vast amounts of medications—high doses of antibiotics, anti depressants, malaria medicine and pain medication.
In 2003, we sold our home in Titusville, NJ where we had lived for 15 years. The plan was to open a bed and breakfast and yoga center, where I would run the business and Chris would help when he was able. We decided to move to Sullivan County where my grandparents owned a farm house.
Shortly after moving to Narrowsburg my husband started showing an interest in guns. My family and friends noticed a dramatic change in Chris's personality, and one day, I came home to find Chris in bed with a loaded shot gun facing up toward his head. I told him I was going to make him a cup of tea and I immediately called 911. Chris was put in the county jail for 10 days without hospitalization. Prior to this incident, I pleaded with a local shop owner not to sell my husband guns, but I was ignored. I was in contact with his doctors asking what was wrong, as he was showing signs of depression and bi-polar symptoms. I also went to the courts, where it was documented that my husband was sick. One judge told me to lock up the guns and only give him the key with my knowledge. This seemed very farfetched and Chris did not agree with this idea.
After the incident with the shotgun, my husband was given back his guns. Outrageous! It was about a week later that Chris fired at a police officer. Thank God, no one was hurt. He also claimed there were explosive devices surrounding our property. Apparently he had a psychotic split.
We were a married couple living a very successful life. Chris was a vice president at Credit Suisse First Boston with no prior criminal record.
There were so many warning signs and I made it a point to reach out to doctors and the court system to no avail. Apparently no one heard me.
It is with great sadness that I see many other shootings of innocent people in our country and now the shooting of our children in an elementary school.
There is a major breakdown of our system.
This is not the only story of my husband and guns. In the '80s, my husband was a victim of gun violence. A gunman forced his way into my husband's home in Brooklyn Heights where he lived with his family. The gunman threatened to shoot Chris's mother and when he defended her, he was shot three times with a .38. He almost lost his life; his recovery took three months.
On December 12, I called Mayor Bloomberg's office in New York City and spoke with a Robert Feldstein. I told him my story and he told me that he had been working for the past 72 hours with the outpouring of concern, sadness and outrage. He stated he was sorry for what happened and this gave him even more reason to continue the work he is doing.
With a heavy heart,
Jane Morris

We are looking for solution of the following problem: We have two applications – one which use MS SQL 2008 R2 to store data, second which use PostgreSQL 9.0 to store data. We need to link those database servers for reporting purposes via Linked Servers in MS SQL.
We have full access for MS SQL database without any limitations or needs for use special libraries, but have restricted access for PostgreSQL database because developer of the second application use libpq library especially developed for this application (we have this library, and have all connection parametres).
Homepage of the PGNP says: "It implements most of the OLEDB interfaces and uses libpq to access a PostgreSQL database.". We tryed "PGNP OLEDB Provider v1.4 for PostgreSQL, Server Edition." (Trial version at the moment) and looks like that Linked Servers with PGNP provider should be perfect for this purpose – but copying libpq.dll into installation directory of PGNP doesn't work. We have following error:
"OLE DB provider "PGNP" for linked server "MYSERVER" returned message "FATAL: password authentication failed for user "myuser""
When we use this libpq.dll with other software connecting to PostgreSQL 9.0 database (eq. pgAdmin III) it just works when we put library into it's executing folder.
Can You tell me how can We import libpq.dll into PGNP installation ?
