This week, my colleagues and I at Thomson Reuters join our Girl Scout sisters at businesses and organizations throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin for Always a Girl Scout Week. During this week, employers will host events where Girl Scout alumnae are encouraged to wear green or bring a piece of Girl Scout memorabilia to work. We are celebrating our connections to the preeminent leadership development organization for women and preparing for the upcoming Girl Scouts centennial.
For nearly 100 years, Girls Scouts has inspired generations of girls who change the world. With more than 50 million Girl Scout alumnae, it's no surprise that the vast majority of America's most accomplished women, including 80 percent of women business owners, two-thirds of women in Congress and virtually every female astronaut who has flown in space, are Girl Scout alumnae.
I learned many of the important skills needed to be successful in life through Girl Scouts. Scouting teaches girls the confidence to take on any challenge they encounter. Girl Scouts reinforced in me the importance of taking responsibility for my own personal development; helped me understand my relationship with the community, and my responsibilities in the community as a citizen. My parents believed that their values would be reinforced through the Girl Scout experience—and they were right!
Today, the Girl Scout mission is more relevant than ever. According to the 2010 Status of Women and Girls report from the Humphrey Institute, girls experience threats to their physical and mental well being at significantly higher rates than boys.
Results from the Girl Scout Research Institute in 2008 show only one in five believes she has what it takes to lead, resulting in educational and life choices that limit opportunities for advancement. We can and must take proactive step to change this perception.
Today, girls lack access to out-of-school time enrichment activities that can help develop their skills, confidence and leadership potential – especially girls from underserved communities. I know there are other programs in our community that make a difference in the lives of your girls. I commend them, but I want to underscore that through participation in Girl Scouting girls gain the skills and capacity to succeed in life and they do make a positive difference in the world!
I participated in Girl Scouts through the Hallie Q. Brown Community Center in St. Paul. I continue to network with many of my former troop members and am still in contact with my troop leader. The benefits of the Girl Scout connection are life-long.
I've always hoped that every young girl or every young mother, or father, could hear about the Girl Scout program and understand how it could enrich the life of their daughters and young female relatives and friends. It would be wonderful if every community had people talking about the impact of Girl Scouts. Given all that we know about the challenges, peer pressure and perceptions that girls have about themselves it is imperative that more of us get off the sidelines and share all that we know about the Girl Scouting program. It can be a wonderful experience for girls, everywhere.
Today, I'm still a Girl Scout. The truth of the matter is that once you are a Girl Scout, you are always a Girl Scout. You may not wear the green sash every day, you might not go to a troop meeting, but the basic beliefs—giving back, sharing skills, improving your community, networking, mentoring and helping others in a joyful way—are something you carry with you every day
Once a Girl Scout, Always a Girl Scout. Join me in celebrating the Girl Scout legacy during Always a Girl Scout Week and inspire today's girls by showing them the leaders they can become.
Sharon Sayles Belton is a Girl Scout alumna and former mayor of Minneapolis. She is currently the Vice President of Community Relations and Government Affairs for Thomson Reuters legal business.

Invariably, the issue of weird weather comes up these days, especially with record temperatures set on a regular basis and extreme phenomenon rising to the top of headlines fairly often.
Global warming is the answer the experts almost always arrive at — melting ice caps at the hands of humans who didn't heed the warnings to reduce their carbon footprint.
And you almost can't help but entertain a little, "Uh oh, could they have been right?" thought when you step outside and realize it's sweltering in early spring with no rain in sight. Then it dawns on you that maybe it's time to hang our heads in shame because no matter how many times we pack our groceries in recycled cloth bags, it won't make ice in Antarctica.
Then again, maybe scientists have been too quick to judge, too quick to lay blame on humans.
Who else though, you might ask, could possibly raise the Earth's temperature but the all-powerful humanoid?
Yep, that's right, fuzzy, cottontail, long-eared bunny wabbits.
What better way to disguise nefarious world warming and ice cap melting than behind a set of velvety ears, long-lashed doe eyes and a cute button nose. And speaking of velvety ears, there's more to those funnels on top of their fuzzy noggins than meets the eye.
Sure, they act as silky accessories and even receive sounds, but what they really are is radiators.
Not only do those long ears radiate heat and direct it out through convection, they can move as much as 100 percent of a rabbit's body heat. The radiator even comes with a built in thermostat. When the rabbit's body temperature exceeds air temperature, the heat kicks on, according to a 1970's study of jackrabbit's ears conducted at the University of Wisconsin (interesting reading involving the amputated ears of Nevada road kill and wind tunnels for those who are so inclined.)
But there's the catch. Running at a healthy internal body temperature of up to 103, there aren't very many occasions when the rabbit radiator shuts off.
If they kept it all to themselves it probably wouldn't even be noticeable, but rabbits produce a good bit of heat — actually approximately 10 times the amount of body heat produced by an elephant.
Put a bunch of rabbits together, and the temperature of a room goes up.
Case in point, for years gardening enthusiasts have used them in place of man-made radiators, housing rabbits in greenhouses to keep the plants warm.
Of course pinning down the exact number of rabbits in the world would be near impossible, but in 2000, the USDA estimated 9.7 million domesticated rabbits in the U.S. alone, and since that's only one country, and doesn't even count wild rabbits, it's safe to assume there are a hare more in the world (couldn't resist.)
So, hypothetically, if there were, say, 1 billion on the planet, and they put out approximately 8 BTUs of heat (while at rest) as some estimate, that would account for 8 billion BTUs per hour. Now give them a couple years of exceptionally high reproduction cycles, and the greenhouse gets hotter.
Recent studies show they aren't handling the heat any better than the rest of us.
Actually, it seems they're faring worse, with at least five species identified by conservationists as being in dire straights if things don't change. From snowshoe hares that no longer turn from white to brown making them an easy target, to seaside rabbits that will lose their habitats and be wiped out if water levels rise even so much as nine-tenths of an inch, with the hotseat they're in, it makes it a little hard to blame global warming on the bunnies.
Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Ok, this might seem like a weird request, but I need an apartment that is not only pet friendly, but one that will accept me and my 5 cats. Yes, I said 5. And no, I will not give any of them up. I need a 2 bedroom or something bigger than a standard 1 bedroom so they have room to roam.

I can't do diagrams. Sorry!Originally Posted by Candy
I am assuming in all of this that the applied force moves the crate at a constant velocity. The problem can't be done otherwise!
a) The work done by a (constant) force is:
where the angle is the angle between the force and the displacement vectors (placed, as always, tail to tail.)
Now, there are two ways in which pushing or pulling will affect the result. First, it will technically change the angle in the work formula. For pulling we have theta = 30 degrees, for pushing we have theta = -30 degrees. (I'm making an assumption about the statement of the problem here. If you are pulling I'm assuming you are pulling upward, if you are pushing I'm assuming you are pushing downward. I would personally ask the professor about this assumption, but as I can't do that I have to choose something.) Since cos(-theta) = cos(theta) there is no difference in the work from this source.
Second it will change the normal force on the crate. Sketch a free body diagram for the crate. There will be four forces present: the weight, the normal force on the crate, the friction force, and the applied (push or pull) force. For reference purposes I am calling N the value of the normal force in the absence of the applied force.
Case 1. The applied force has an upward component so according to Newton's second law in the vertical direction, the normal force is less than N. Thus the friction force, which this the coefficient of friction times the normal force, is smaller than , so the applied force is smaller than...
Case 2. The applied force has a downward component so according to Newton's second law in the vertical direction, the normal force is more than N. Thus the friction force is larger than , so the applied force is greater than in Case 1.
Thus F will be larger in Case 2, and thus the work done will be greater in Case 2.
b) Pulling: Using the FBD we can see that (in the vertical direction) N = w - Fcos(theta). Thus the friction force f = (mu)(w - Fsin(theta)). Now, using Newton's second in the horizontal direction we get Fcos(theta) = f. (Recall that f is in the opposite direction to the horizontal component of F and that the acceleration of the crate is 0 if it is moving at constant velocity.) Finally w = mg Thus:
(I'll let you do the numbers on this.)
Pushing: We have the same situation except that now the normal force is N = w + Fcos(theta), since F now has a downward component. The rest is the same except for the change in sign on Fcos(theta). So we get
f = (mu)(w + Fsin(theta))
Fcos(theta) = f (as before)

Newcastle United can confirm that defender Ryan Taylor will be ruled out for several months after suffering a knee injury during Thursday's Europa League qualifier against Atromitos.
The 28-year-old landed awkwardly having hurdled a tackle in the early stages of the match and, being in clear pain, was immediately substituted.
Taylor underwent a scan on Friday afternoon, of which the results showed he has sustained a serious injury which will see him sidelined for months rather than weeks.
Everyone at Club wishes the popular player well in his recovery from the injury.

About me
Retired in 1994 at age 49 (do the math yourself). My main avocation is--or was, I'm uncertain about that--astrophotography. Please see http://www.primordial-light.com.
Poor skies in the Mid-Atlantic region made me turn to arthropod photography and other nature photography in early 2011. I've had fun with it and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to make a tiny contribution to EOL.

Spend an entire day: Adventure and family fun on Lookout Mountain
Lookout Mountain's trifecta of attractions heralds memories of an era that was championed by the family road trip, making it a perfect choice for our first full-day of adventures, anchored by our stay in Chattanooga. While Lookout Mountain's appeal may be universal, just ask the question as to which of the 3 attractions is the favorite, and the answers will be as divided as the loyalties from this area during the Civil War.
Rock City, Ruby Falls, or Incline Railway- discover your favorite!
Getting Started
The key to experiencing Lookout Mountain, in one day, is to start early. We opted to skip the big breakfast experience to save time. A quick stop en route, at Chattanooga Coffee Company, yielded the perfect balance of good java and a light breakfast. From bananas and yogurt to bagels and cinnamon buns, eating inside while watching them roast the coffee beans on-site is a starter attraction all to it's own.
Rock City
Turning left onto Mockingbird Lane, the stone cottages of the neighboring Chanticleer Inn welcome you down the next several hundred feet to the Rock City main entrance and parking area. To prove there is one on every corner, a stone covered Starbucks guards the entrance.
We no sooner secure a parking spot, and my mother's eyes start glistening with a sparkle of childhood innocence as she flashed back to the trip enjoyed with her parents and grandparents. Returning now with her daughter and grandson, it is a pilgrimage generations of families mirror that fulfills Rock City's mission to "Create Memories Worth Repeating." "See Rock City" has served as a place holder of memories in the minds of multiple generations.
"Yeah!!! Rock City!! Come on Grandpa; I can't wait to go through Fat Man's Squeeze with you!!" With that we are out of the car, through the turnstile, and having our family picture taken at the entrance.
Descending through the rock flanked passages, the stifling summer humidity gives over to a cool presence. Winding pathways become speckled with carefully groomed and labeled gardens, that began in the 1920's as Freida Carter set out to build the ultimate rock garden.
The Enchanted Trail winds through 14-acres of varying elevations and sights. From local flora and fauna to caves and amazing views, Rock City has activities to enchant the entire family.
Don't Miss Highlights
- Swing-A-Long Bridge- The alternate parallel route along the rock bridge allows for a perfect photo opportunity to catch a great picture of a loved one on the Swing-A-Long bridge, with an expansive view of the Chattanooga Valley in the background.
- Deer Park- Just past Fat Man's Squeeze you will find the observation deck to gaze upon the resident Fallow Deer. Keep an eye out for the rare white deer.
- Lover's Leap- Great views of the falls can be seen from the road leading up to Rock City, as well as off the Enchanted Trail leading up to Lover's Leap. Atop Lover's Leap is the famous "See 7 States" viewing area. On a clear day you can gaze over Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.
- Fat Man's Squeeze- A staircase leads down to this very narrow passage area, just past the Lover's Leap area. This narrow pass is only a short distance, but there is an alternate route should severe claustrophobia prevent your completion.
- Fairyland Caverns and Mother Goose Village-Scenes of childhood fairy tales dot the caverns leading to the expansive opening of Mother Goose Village. Black lights create a whimsical glow, bringing to life such favorites as "Little Miss Muffet" and "Hey, diddle, diddle".
- Shops and Restaurants- At the end of the trail be sure and sample the Wine Slushies for a an adult treat to beat the heat. The iconic "See Rock City" barns can be purchased in the gift shop. These bird houses, as well as bird and hummingbird feeders are some of the most popular souvenirs.
Tips and Tricks
- Due to the stone covered paths, leave the flip flops in the car and opt for tennis shoes and other more secured, closed-toe foot wear.
- If you have a wee one that is often in the stroller, then be sure to bring a back pack or sling style child carrier.
- There is a vending machine area just prior to the Swing-a-long bridge, as well as a concession area adjacent to Lover's Leap and the Cliff Terrace area.
- Don't forget the sunscreen! Although much of the park is within caves and shaded paths, the Lover's Leap area is open to the elements. The amazing view may keep you out in the open longer than you expect.
- This is the one attraction that four-legged, fury members of the family are allowed inside the park on a leash.
Located on S. Scenic Highway, conveniently located in between Rock City and Ruby Falls, what was once the town grocery store in the 1900's is now a southern-style cafe serving dishes that explode with flavors of fresh locally sourced ingredients. Don't miss their daily homemade soups, the Fried Green Tomato BLT, Mac N' Cheese, and my favorite- a glass of Prosecco served alongside Pimento Cheese.
Café on the Corner is a 'must eat' for any Lookout Mountain adventure.

- Issue date of VIS: February 2, 2012
- In 2009, about 38,000 people became infected with hepatitis B.
- Each year about 2,000 to 4,000 people die in the United States from cirrhosis or liver cancer caused by hepatitis B.
- Loss of appetite
- Tiredness
- Pain in muscles, joints, and stomach
- Diarrhea and vomiting
- Jaundice (yellow skin or eyes)
- Liver damage (cirrhosis)
- Liver cancer
- Death
- A baby whose mother is infected can be infected at birth
- Children, adolescents, and adults can become infected by:
- Contact with blood and body fluids through breaks in the skin such as bites, cuts, or sores
- Contact with objects that have blood or body fluids on them such as toothbrushes, razors, or monitoring and treatment devices for diabetes
- Having unprotected sex with an infected person
- Sharing needles when injecting drugs
- Being stuck with a used needle
- Babies normally get 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine:
- 1st Dose: Birth
- 2nd Dose: 1-2 months of age
- 3rd Dose: 6-18 months of age
- Anyone through 18 years of age who didn't get the vaccine when they were younger should also be vaccinated.
- All unvaccinated adults at risk for hepatitis B infection should be vaccinated. This includes:
- Sex partners of people infected with hepatitis B
- Men who have sex with men
- People who inject street drugs

What is hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is a serious infection that affects the liver. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus.
Hepatitis B can cause:
Acute (short-term) illness. This can lead to:
Acute illness, with symptoms, is more common among adults. Children who become infected usually do not have symptoms.
Chronic (long-term) infection. Some people go on to develop chronic hepatitis B infection. Most of them do not have symptoms, but the infection is still very serious, and can lead to:
Chronic infection is more common among infants and children than among adults. People who are chronically infected can spread hepatitis B virus to others, even if they don't look or feel sick. Up to 1.4 million people in the United States may have chronic hepatitis B infection.
Hepatitis B virus is easily spread through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. People can also be infected from contact with a contaminated object, where the virus can live for up to 7 days.
Hepatitis B vaccine: Why get vaccinated?
Hepatitis B vaccine can prevent hepatitis B, and the serious consequences of hepatitis B infection, including liver cancer and cirrhosis.
Hepatitis B vaccine may be given by itself or in the same shot with other vaccines.
Routine hepatitis B vaccination was recommended for some U.S. adults and children beginning in 1982, and for all children in 1991. Since 1990, new hepatitis B infections among children and adolescents have dropped by more than 95% and by 75% in other age groups.
Vaccination gives long-term protection from hepatitis B infection, possibly lifelong.
Who should get hepatitis B vaccine and when?
Children and adolescents
Some babies might get 4 doses, for example, if a combination vaccine containing hepatitis B is used. (This is a single shot containing several vaccines.) The extra dose is not harmful.
Adults getting hepatitis B vaccine should get 3 doses -- with the second dose given 4 weeks after the first and the third dose 5 months after the second. Your doctor can tell you about other dosing schedules that might be used in certain circumstances.
Who should not get hepatitis B vaccine?
Your doctor can give you more information about these precautions.
Note: You might be asked to wait 28 days before donating blood after getting hepatitis B vaccine. This is because the screening test could mistake vaccine in the bloodstream (which is not infectious) for hepatitis B infection.
What are the risks from hepatitis B vaccine?
Hepatitis B is a very safe vaccine. Most people do not have any problems with it.
The vaccine contains non-infectious material, and cannot cause hepatitis B infection.
Some mild problems have been reported:
Severe problems are extremely rare. Severe allergic reactions are believed to occur about once in 1.1 million doses.
A vaccine, like any medicine, could cause a serious reaction. But the risk of a vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small. More than 100 million people in the United States have been vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine.
What if there is a serious reaction?
What should I look for?
Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. These would start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.
What should I do?
VAERS is only for reporting reactions. They do not give medical advice.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines.
Persons who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the "VICP website":http://www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/index.html.

Does schiphol wants to be a city, more part of it or more like it? The airportcity is something different than a normal city, needs its own concept, but if we want to change Schiphol into a destination or a place to stay it should at first be more like a city.
Schiphol is a place where the infrastructure defines, the company organizes and the government institutionalizes the boundaries. These boundaries hold the possibility to play with the temptation to cross to the other side, the airside, and fly anywhere.
Instead of next to one should be exactly on the borderline. But in order to be able to cross, the borderline should still be apparent. Not completely open, but always in sight, making sure that there is something to cross.
The expansion of the existing terminal creates a strip that crosses the highway and connects the terminal to more landing lanes. The extension is not shaped like a big building, but as urban fabric. Three layers, a mix of programme, the distinction between land- and airside, infrastructure and outside spaces define its shape, like a list of simple ingredients.
The buildings true character reveals itself when used. In the present terminal there is a clear distinction between land- and airside. In the new terminal this division is not made within the terminal, but within every single function. Every piece has both an air and a landside where the border is defined by smaller elements. Instead of having a air and landside, the whole building becomes the grey zone in between.
The air- and the landside will be threads that are completely intertwined, but never really touch each other. Like a DNA string spiralling around each other. With such a feasible border, playing with its tempting nature become a humorous event. The other side is constantly in sight, audible or even tangible.

Where is the Diamonelle of old??
By loves to shop
from Burnaby, BC
I, too, have issues with today's diamonelle. In the days of Michael Vallitutti it was a great product. I regret not buying more pieces then. Today's pieces are mostly assembled in China, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is where the stone originates, too. The Swiss diamonelle that Michael used to bring in; the "real" pieces he would compare to diamonelle (and need a loop to differentiate the two) are the pieces I want back. Oh and by the way, bring back Lesley Young, too, while you are at it. Now these were two pros TSC couldn't have afforded to lose...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

from Wallaceburg, ON
Had ordered this for my hubby actually as a wedding band, but when it came in I was also disappointed like the other buyer who posted. Although hubby loved the look of the styling of this ring online, in person it was a let down, not great quality, poorly made and not shiny and realistic for a gold ring. the hollowed out back he said was very uncomfortable as well, so I sent it back for a refund. sorry TSC but yes we want GOLD in Diamonelle, but we want good quality gold as well or why bother making it?

How did this ring pass quality control?
By GMA Carol
from Edmonton, Alberta
This is the first time that I give such a low rating but honestly how could this ring be sent out when it has seven small dark red brown spots on the right side of the shank and these spots do not come off at all. Also, it looks like the gold at the bottom of ring is coming off and a silver color is peaking through. The gold looks more of a brassy color and it took me a mere five minutes to check the ring and decide to send it back. So disappointed.

To know Whit Stillman is to love 90′s cinema. In 1990, his Metropolitan announced a dazzling (and Oscar-nominated) wit, and 1994′s Barcelona showed a man of certain interests and great talent. But after 1998′s Last Days of Disco, Stillman disappeared from cinema – only to pop his head up when his work was reisssued by the Criterion Collection. Word would surface now and again about what he was working on, but there was no movement until recently. He finally made a new film – Violet Wister's Damsels in Distress - and Sony Pictures Classics will now be releasing it worldwide. The film stars Greta Gerwig and Adam Brody.
The big news in this is that he's got a real distributor behind him (check out their press release), which is one of the biggest obstacles in low budget art house filmmaking these days. And with Sony Pictures Classics behind him, the film will play theatrically. For a small indie film, that makes a world of difference in terms of exposure. Stillman had the good fortune to cast Greta Gerwig, who has been working within the Hollywood system – though she's curiously absent from much of the advertising materials for Arthur, she's still the romantic lead in that. She's also recently appeared in No Strings Attached and Greenberg.
Whit Stillman is an oddball, and perhaps his cinematic career has allowed him to not work for over a decade (perhaps he just does uncredited re-writes)- though the industry that once championed him no longer exists in the same way. His voice was specific but always rewarding, and he seemed to belong to the great new art house movement, along with people like Jim Jarmusch and Hal Hartley. They had a moment.
Are you excited for Damsels in Distress?

It feels like it's going to be quite a bit of time before we get good looks at the entirety of the "XX8 Days of Flight" series of Jordans. Sure, the shoes popped up across social media when they were first distributed, but it's probably going to be a while before all the separate pairs get their true due with a decent set of images. The Air Jordan VII among them gets that treatment here, as this set does a good job showing off the black and electric green sneakers. Continue reading to see them for yourself and tell us in the comments if you think this colorway would do well at retail.

Yea they are a must have
that leather dammit but what sucks is that production will not be made with that type or thickness of a leather. If you go to Nike Chicago and check out the jordan case, you'll see the same great quality.
I would've had a decent shot at these if I knew what to properly post and tag and blah blah lol, with my Miros. And I would've actually rocked these. Fresh pair and good quality
I don't say this about too many non-OG 7 colorways, but these are beautiful. I want. NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM
shoooooot..... would it do well in retail?? would it even make it to retail past everyone hookin everyone up and resellers
man i soooooo want these! i love 7s and oh man, if i can get these id cheerish them like they was my child. seriously i want these. i really really want these :(
My type of color and great quality material is reason to say of they went retail and i was able to cop, i waould call ducha a release double robocop
i like the green
Dat leather is premo... Would rather had da DOF 4s, 5s, 6s or 17s myself... But these are clean too... I would cop if they release
Would it do well in retail? Of course mainly because its a shoe that falls in-between 1-14 which are the most hyped of all the jordans and then they would probably slap on a $200-$250 price tag but that wouldn't stop some people either.
Just my 2 cents...
In other news the Doernbecher 3's are the next Doernbecher shoe to come back.

GPs condemn GMC's lack of leadership over revalidation
Authors: Helen Jaques
Publication date: 26 May 2012
GP leaders have slammed the General Medical Council for failing to spell out how GPs in need of remediation should be supported in the process of revalidation and for "opening the door" to local variation in appraisal.
But a GMC council member, Malcolm Lewis, told the conference of local medical committees this week that the lack of guidance on remediation shouldn't delay the introduction of revalidation.
"I know a concern about remediation is the patchy approach to delivery across the UK and across specialties," he said. "I think revalidation has brought attention to that issue, but don't let it stop revalidation, because otherwise it will never happen. I don't think we can wait for [remediation] to be in place to start revalidation: we have to get the ball rolling on this."
However, Andrew Green, a GP in Hull and a member of the BMA's General Practitioners Committee, accused the GMC of "shocking complacency" in not acknowledging remediation's integral role in revalidation.
"I'm sure I'm not the only GP here who has been shaken by the total lack of leadership the GMC has shown recently regarding its own plans for revalidation," he told the conference. "In our professional lives we all walk a tightrope where one slip, one moment of inattention, can lead to disaster. If the GMC are going to sit in the comfort of their offices shaking the rope under our feet, they have a clear and pressing duty to fix the safety net."
The introduction of "enhanced appraisal" by deaneries, strategic health authorities, primary care organisations and other NHS authorities in advance of revalidation also came under fire. Rachel Tinker, a GP from Derby and Derbyshire Local Medical Committee, told the conference how some primary care trusts are requiring GPs to bring extra information to their annual appraisal, such as audits and details of any serious untoward incidents.
Beth McCarron-Nash, a negotiator for the General Practitioners Committee, argued that it was completely unacceptable to have different levels of appraisal across the UK. "We have to have consistency for appraisal and standards of training for appraisers across England in particular, where this is a problem," she said. "This is a building block towards revalidation, and unless those blocks are equitable and fair then this process is not going to go ahead."
However, Lewis stated that what was included in appraisal was an issue for practices to sort out locally with their primary care trust or health board and was not an area in which the GMC should interfere.
Delegates passed a motion calling on the BMA, in partnership with the GMC, to develop a national system of appraisal that could be used as an alternative to local appraisal.
Delegates also discussed the potential for conflict of interest in revalidation should primary care commissioning managers also act as responsible officers. Such individuals would have a conflict between implementing commissioning policies and making revalidation recommendations, said Paddy Glackin, a representative for Camden Local Medical Committee, London.
GPs passed a motion insisting that the role of responsible officer be separated from any role that involves performance management of GPs.

Houston County bingo gambling machines ruled illegal, to be destroyedcomment (0)
October 24, 2013
After more than a year of court proceedings, gambling devices seized from Houston County's Center Stage have been deemed illegal.
They will be destroyed, and the money seized in the raid will be forfeited to the state's General Fund.
"The decision from Judge Conaway in Houston County Circuit Court marks a good day for the rule of law," said Attorney General Luther Strange.
"In a detailed analysis, the court held that machines masquerading as electronic bingo are in fact illegal slot machines," he said. "Bingo operators have tried to create confusion in the law but this ruling ends the nonsense.
"Only the traditional paper version of the game commonly known as bingo is authorized by the Houston County bingo amendment, and slot machines cannot be used to play bingo," Strange noted.
Houston County Presiding Circuit Judge Michael Conaway issued the final ruling Oct. 17.
It was the culmination of a joint law enforcement effort by the Alabama Department of Public Safety, Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes, District Attorney Doug Valeska and Strange.
Law enforcement officers seized 691 illegal slot machines and gambling devices and $288,668.62 in cash proceeds from the Center Stage casino in Houston County in July 2012.
The ruling came after prosecutors from Strange's office presented evidence in a three-day trial in Houston County.
In the ruling, the Court found the game being played did not meet the six mandatory characteristics of bingo set forth by the Alabama Supreme Court in the 2010 Cornerstone case.
This case requires that the human elements of the traditional game of bingo must be fully preserved in order for a game to potentially qualify as legal bingo.
Strange noted that "the fundamental legal principles which underlie today's ruling apply not only to Houston County but in all counties subject to local bingo amendments. Since taking office, I have said that I will resolve the debate over electronic bingo in the courts.
"Today another court has spoken and I hope this opinion will serve as a warning for those currently engaged in illegal gambling activities or contemplating operating slot machines in Houston County and throughout the state," he said.
"Until the Alabama Legislature acts to create an effective deterrent for large scale illegal gambling, individuals will continue to engage in illegal gambling activity and openly defy the law," Strange added.
"These individuals stand to make thousands of dollars in illegal gambling profits while risking only a slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanor charge," he said. "Law enforcement will continue to be forced to expend valuable resources to deal with this problem."
In related news, Etowah County District Attorney Jimmie Harp dismissed the charges of possession of a gambling device against Michelle Garbe in early July.
Garbe was charged with promoting gambling and with possession of a machine at Center Stage in Rainbow City, according to al.com.
In Macon County all qualified judges have recused themselves from hearing a case regarding the seizure of gambling machines from VictoryLand in February, al.com also reported.
And Greene County Circuit Judge Eddie Hardaway Jr. stepped aside from a Greenetrack case at the request of the attorney general.
According to al.com, state court officials will find replacement judges for the cases.

Really? 2 Chainz Brings Weed & Sizzurp To LAX Before Being Busted
Anyone would half a brain would know that intentionally bringing anything illegal to an airport…especially LAX…would end in an arrest. Well, that's exactly what 2 Chainz recently did!
Add that to the rapper's recent Bay Area armed robbery, and it doesn't seem coincidental that the 'I'm Different' one pulled this stunt just days after denying he was jacked.
Here's what is being reported:
According to law enforcement, 2 Chainz was on board an outbound flight waiting to take off when TSA officials discovered the drugs in his checked luggage. He was subsequently removed from the aircraft before it departed, and placed under arrest.
This is clearly a diversion tactic — so rappers don't clown the dude now known across the Bay Area as 'Few Chainz'. What are your thoughts?

Western New Mexico (10-16) at ENMU (6-19)
When: 6 p.m. today at Greyhound Arena
Radio: KSEL-AM 1450
Last time out: Both teams lost at home on Saturday, the Lady Mustangs to Colorado School of Mines 79-70 and the Zias to Tarleton State 89-64.
Last meeting: Nov. 22, 2005, ENMU defeated WNMU 87-52 at Greyhound Arena. The Zias are 3-2 against WNMU since the 1995-96 season and have won the last three matchups.
Of note: The game was originally scheduled for Nov. 25, but was postponed due to inclement weather. … Each team has one game left after tonight, both on Saturday. The Zias, who are trying to end a 10-game losing streak, host Lone Star Conference-leading West Texas A&M while the Lady Mustangs visit Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference rival New Mexico Highlands. … WNMU is 2-10 this season on the road. … Western, which hasn't had a winning record since 1996-97, went a combined 1-49 in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. Coach Rusty Kennedy took over last year and the Lady Mustangs finished 5-21, ending losing streaks of 35 games overall, 40 games in the RMAC, 38 games on the road and 33 RMAC games on the road. They've hit a rough patch of late, losing three in a row and six of their last seven. … WNMU defeated LSC member Angelo State 59-52 at home on Dec. 4, its first non-league win over a Division II opponent since 2008-09. … Leaders for the Lady Mustangs, all juniors, are 5-foot-5 G RaTanya Newsome (13.4 ppg, 125 assists, 49 steals), 5-10 G Ashley Mitchell (12.6 ppg, 39 percent 3-point FGs) and 6-1 junior F/C Stephanie Moore (11.1 ppg, 51 percent FGs). … One thing both teams have done well this year is shoot FTs — WNMU is at 74 percent for the season while the Zias come in at 72 percent.

Five Reasons Why a Customized Video is Right for Your Business
1. Improve your company's image in the marketplace. An inspired video production can make your small business look bigger and better.
2. Show how your company is an innovator or different from the competition.
3. Put an 18 wheeler on your potential client's desk. You can bring your factory with you on a sales call, to a trade show and show the technical reasons (possibly through a 3D animation) why a client should give you the contract.
4. Give a voice to your satisfied customers. Good quality customer testimonials on camera are priceless.
5. If you could have every potential customer come to your office and spend a week with you they would be more likely to hire you. Obviously that is not always possible but with a professional and creative video a potential customer can tour your facility, meet your employees, listen to satisfied customers and see your high ethical standards all in 5 minutes.
There is nothing that can do the things that a creative, informative and customized video can do, to help your business grow!

Amphetamines- Drug Facts:
Amphetamines are categorized as stimulants. The components were found in 1997 within two species of bushes in Texas. The bushes were known as the acacia bushes. Methamphetamine (Methedrine) is specifically referred to as amphetamines. Illegal Methamphetamine (Meth) is made from many common over the counter drugs (cold tablets), drain cleaner, brake fluid and liquid Anhydrous Ammonia (among other ingredients). Stimulants speed up the systems housed in the body. Some amphetamines are prescribed legally by physicians to treat ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) and ADD (attention deficit disorder). Amphetamines stimulate the Central Nervous System. Stimulates can look like power or pills. Amphetamines and their various salts easily dissolve in water. Other forms of the drug are clear in color and form chunky crystals (crystal meth). Methamphetamines can also take the form of brightly colored tablets. Amphetamines have many of the same effects as cocaine, however the body's reaction to this class of stimulates is slower, and the duration lasts longer.

Find great books for preschool, elementary, and middle school children and teens along with ideas of ways to teach with them in the classroom across the curriculum.
by Anno, Mitsumasa. (Putnam, 1982 ISBN 0399208968. Order Online.) Picture Book. 32 pages. Grades K+.
This book was reviewed by Carol Otis Hurst in Teaching K-8 Magazine.
Ten children live in one house and are about to move across the street to another house. One child at a time moves, taking something with him or her. We see the outside and inside of both houses and keep track. There are cutaway windows through which some children peek. Although the book is wordless, we find ourselves answering questions: Who's gone? How many are gone? All the combinations of ten are involved. Once through the book we can read it backwards for new questions with new answers.
As always in Anno's math picture books, there is a note to adults about other ways to develop the concepts touched upon in the book.

Advice columnist Mrs. Griggs subject of new biography
Her Milwaukee Journal column started as advice for the lovelorn, but Ione Quinby Griggs and her legion of letter writers soon ventured into other topics and dilemmas of 20th century life in the Midwest, especially among women.
A new book, "Dear Mrs. Griggs: Women Readers Pour Out Their Hearts from the Heartland," traces Griggs' career from brash "girl reporter" in Chicago, through personal tragedy, and then an astounding 51 years of answering readers' personal questions on the back page of the Journal's Green Sheet. »Read Full Article(10)

Kasich's State Budget Tour Stops In Batavia
By Jim Letizia & Associated Press & Ohio Public Radio • Jul 19, 2013
Ohio Governor John Kasich says he wants to get the top state income tax bracket under 5 percent. Kasich discussed his target Thursday at the Milacron plastics plant in Batavia.
The top income tax rate before the state budget took effect was 5.9 percent. That rate will fall to 5.3 percent by 2015. The budget cuts small business taxes and all income taxes by 10 percent by 2015. Kasich says he also plans to market the state and its new tax rates to businesses and tourists.
Kasich plans stops around the state this summer to discuss the budget.

On May 15, Scott's radiation oncologist reviewed the brain MRI that Scott had on May 11. Unfortunately, the MRI showed that the cancer has spread to his brain. He has lesions dispersed throughout his brain, with the largest one about 1.6 cm or about one half inch in diameter. They started the brain radiation on May 15, but at a higher intensity than the preventive radiation would have been. He is taking other medications. The treatments should help reduce the size of the lesions.
Scott will be going to Corpus Christi for the brain radiation daily through June 5. I wanted to provide an additional update, since I was so happy last week to report that doctors said Scott was in remission. We appreciate all of the help and prayers the Beeville and BISD community has given us. We could not get through this without friends like you. Thank you.

RocketSpace has fueled the success of more than 200 companies. Some delighting names are Uber, Leap Motion, Podio, DOMO, Zappos.com, Zaarly, Kabam, Kwarter Inc., Pocket Change and Beatport. Speakers, classes, mentoring, recruiting, financing, HR, community events, education, venture capital and more. Today, RocketSpace is home to more than 130 technology companies and a thriving Corporate Innovation Program. Collectively, RocketSpace members and alumni have raised more than $1.8 billion in funding.
CEO and founder of RocketSpace Duncan Logan started RocketSpace in 2011. Prior to that he owned a company called NationalBLS, a Buyer Listing Service that mirrored the MLS (Multi Listing Service) for residential real estate buyers, sellers and agents to use. However, it failed within its first two years. Like they say, failures are pillars of success- NationalBLS failed, but carved the way for the formation of RocketSpace.
Along with various mentorship programs and resources, RocketSpace also open channels for startups to access capital, talent and customers. There's a Corporate Innovation Program for the corporate brands. It helps foster relationships between technology startups and leading corporates that includes British Airways, Microsoft, Samsung, GM and many more. A new program has also been launched, called RocketU to introduce developer bootcamps that help entrepreneurs and technology professionals learn cutting-edge coding languages and techniques that will advance them in their careers. RocketU students receive professional career development, job placement support and access to RocketSpace's alumni network.
RocketSpace receives more than 30 applications per week. They dedicatedly choose the best seed-funded tech startup to be a part of this innovation campus. Global brands in Corporate Innovation Program look out for "what's next" in technology. RocketSpace gives unique insight on this question specifically.
Startups that are fueled by RocketSpace are provided with a research database of over 16,000 startups, access to startup demo days and option to work from RocketSpace Campus in San Francisco. For startups, the Corporate Innovation Program gives them the opportunity to partner with larger companies on various projects. For example, through the program, Kwarter Inc., a startup that builds gaming applications for use in conjunction with live television to increase user engagement, developed a relationship with Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev). Kwarter created a Bud Light football app for AB InBev to test, and it was such a success that AB InBev ended up running ads to promote the app during a dozen NFL games.
RocketSpace works towards connecting startups with the right people- the perfect angel investors, Venture Capitalists, and business leaders in the Silicon Valley. Early startups mostly do not have these connections, but through RocketSpace they can have the best connections for their startups.
Founder Duncan thought it won't be less than 10 years to build this perfect ecosystem for RocketSpace and in many areas, but it happened more faster than he had planned. Like any other business, RocketSpace too faced many challenges. For a one year old company, asking for 100,000 square feet and also asking a traditional real estate business to look at a new opportunity was no less than a challenge. Duncan bootstrapped himself so as to give more personal choices in defining the business model. For this reason he had to say 'no' to many opportunities, some of which were right decision in hindsight.
RocketSpace deliberately decided not to invest in the companies or insist on any equity. From day one, the focus has been on attracting the very best startups to build the ecosystem which is paying off. RocketSpace's Corporate Innovation Program is a real attraction to the startups housed in this innovation campus as is the ability to hang out with the students in the RocketU courses. It is a 10-week "try before you buy" process for the startups and a 10-week working interview for the students.
So, are you new to startup world, and need the right backing to start off? Apply to RocketSpace to get fueled up and take off!

Released Murderer: 'We Don't Regret What We Did'
Latest update: December 9th, 2013
See more examples of the PA's glorification of the released murderers.
The following are longer excerpts of the reports on official PA TV:
Released murderer Asrar Samrin: "The first question all Israeli media ask every released prisoner is: 'Do you regret what you did or not?' This is the question they always ask. Through the great PA TV, I say to the Israelis: There is no Palestinian who did something for the homeland and his nation who will regret it. We don't regret what we did and we will not regret what we did."
PA TV host: "Palestine deserves sacrifice."
Asrar Samrin: "Palestine deserves sacrifice."
[Official PA TV, Oct. 30, 2013]
Note: Asrar Samrin – Serving a life sentence for the murder of Israeli citizen Tzvi Klein (Dec. 3, 1991). He was released in October 2013 as one of 104 terrorists Israel agreed to release, which was the PA's precondition for renewing negotiations.
Released prisoner Muhammad Hilal: "The worst thing about Israeli prison is the torturous ride inside 'the Posta' (i.e., transport vehicle)… when a man is driven to court or to the hospital or on any ride outside the prison… We prisoners call this 'ride of torment,' not 'the Posta' and not 'the ride.' This is beyond imagination. No matter how much I talk about it it's hard to convey the suffering. The prisoners sit on a metal chair, made entirely of metal, there's nothing but metal inside it… "
PA TV host: "Describe a day in your life in prison. You served 10 years."
Released prisoner Muhammad Hilal: "In the morning we'd exercise from 7:00 until 8:00… Then the guys would get together in the prison yard and we'd chat, talk, eat, drink, joke and play, etc., throughout the day. At noon the guys would go to their rooms for roll-call. Noon roll-call is from 11:00 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Roll-call time is time for resting in the rooms. Each group has a routine inside the rooms: Nap time, reading time, study time. Some sleep, some read. At 1:30 or 12:30 p.m. they'd take us out to the yard again. We'd spend [time] with the guys walking, laughing, playing, joking, etc., until dark. Then back to the rooms. They'd lock us up until 6:00 a.m., roll-call time."
[Official PA TV, May 4, 2013]
PA TV reporter: "Let's talk about the [prison] visits – how you suffered… the difficulties you encountered during this long period of contacting [your brother] Osama. The permits and harassments to prisoners' families are well known when they want to visit [relatives in prison]. What happened to you?"
Brother of released murderer Osama Abu Hananeh: "Of course, visiting was very difficult… The methods of inspection, the prison management's behavior towards us. Of course all these things are hard. The visit was exhausting when we went through the [security] check. They would even pass our shoes through a machine."
PA TV reporter: "What difficulties did you encounter when you went to visit your sons? Were there any transportation problems in reaching the prisons?"
Mother of released murderer Ahmad Abd Al-Aziz Qadura: "No, by Allah, nothing. Thank Allah, we would visit them and go home."
[Official PA TV, Oct. 30, 2013]
Note: The guests on the show are relatives of Osama Abu Hananeh and Ahmad Abd Al-Aziz Qadura. Hananeh, Qadura and two others murdered Motti Biton and wounded his wife Molly near Jenin in October 1992. They were serving life time in prison, but were released in October 2013 as part of 104 terrorists Israel agreed to release, which was the PA's precondition for renewing negotiations.

Has the look of murderous druggy lunatic!!!!
The State of Israel must kill all the Arab terrorists, including those who are imprisoned, because the Arab terrorists are making war against Israel, so that they are war enemies, and it is written in the Torah, in Devarim (Deuteronomy) 20:10-18, that God commanded Israel to kill all the war enemies. The war enemies must be killed immediately, and not submitted to trial. The State of Israel must kill the Arab terrorists, instead of arresting them.
Is there any doubt as to why Jews and Christians are afraid to settle in Israel? Lunatics like this one are released so that they can kill again. Israel is run by insane politicians. My advice to all is to stay away from Israel. Do not settle there, nor live there.
Yet America still holds Polland in prison. He never murdered anyone or was a terrorist. Shame.
"The prisoners sit on a metal chair, made entirely of metal, there's nothing but metal inside it."
Future murderous terrorists should sit on a wooden oak chairs.
That's what electric chairs are made of. But make sure they're reconnected.
seems the prisoners had a better life than living in Gaza and earned higher pay.
The guy on top picture looks like a member of Arab Obama's family,
