Arrested: William J. Roberts, 45, Boise
Charges: Aggravated Battery (F)
Boise Police received a report of a battery that had taken place at the dog park on Roosevelt near Latah earlier last night, March 19th, at approximately 9:00 p.m. The victim, who reported the incident from a local hospital, tells police he went to the park to meet the suspect, who is well known to him. The two men became involved in a confrontation, over an ongoing personal dispute and according to the victim, at one point the suspect produced a knife and stabbed the victim. The victim was transported to a local hospital with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. Detectives located the suspect later that evening and, after a detailed investigation, he was transported to the Ada County Jail and booked on the above listed charges.
Warrant Arrested: Amanda R. Sheets, 27, Emmett
Warrant Charges: Sexual Battery of a Minor Child 16 or 17 Years of Age (F)
The suspect was taken into custody on an outstanding felony warrant for Sexual Battery of a Minor Child 16 or 17 Years of Age yesterday.
The arrest warrant stems from an ongoing investigation into an incident that took place at a West Boise home on January 9th of last year. Evidence indicates the suspect was involved in the illegal sexual acts with the victim, who is known to her, on that date. The incident was reported to police by a third party on March 9th of this year and a detailed investigation followed. That investigative information was forwarded to the Ada County Prosecuting Attorney's Office and resulted in the felony warrant. Further inquiries into this case should be directed to the Ada County prosecuting Attorney's Office.
The victim (and/or family) in this case is receiving support assistance through the Boise Police Department Victim Services Unit. To learn more about Victim Services log onto www.boisepolice.org and click on Crime Victim Services.

Harper's Latest Hoax: His Campaign Promise Over Wait Time Guarantees
Andrew Coyne in the National Post does a piece today (Harper Has Learned Well) that reinforces the point of this Blog post. It is worth a read.
Stephen Harper claims he has delivered on another of his campaign promises, this time over health care wait times. The triumphalism he presented with this "announcement" is pure George Bush in content and context and especially in his contempt for the truth.
Dubya, you will remember, donned a flak jacket, flew in a jet, landed on an aircraft carrier as a poser for the photo op in front of a banner declaring "Mission Accomplished." Yes the world was lied to yet again in his declaration of victory in Iraq. One can't help but ask just how many months - and deaths ago - was it that the world celebrated that glorious day for our security and peace of mind. We have to ask ourselves just how the Iraqi people have enjoyed, or should we say endured, their "freedom" and their "democracy"?
Steve's wait time guarantee delivery triumphalism was more bathos but his claims of political victory was just as hypocritical as Dubya's Mission Accomplished declaration. Wait times "guarantees" yes sir – promise made – promise kept, well kinda, sorta, maybe. For sure under in certain circumstances, perhaps in three years and in limited and modest dimensions, admittedly to varying degrees and in different ways in the different provinces but it is ideal, we think.
The provinces will always seem to take the money in the same old extortion model originally fashioned and perfected by the old-style Liberals. This is Harper using the same old same old way of the feds buying their way into provincial jurisdiction. This is after all Canada's "New" Government you have come to know. They are the "quasi-Conservative" and "Liberal emulator" government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Yup it is the "fiscally conservative" and the "jurisdictional purist" Stephen Harper who is doing the extortion trickery this time.
His approach on this policy trickery reaffirms his admiration with the George Bush precise media message planning and the transparency of his political power plays. As for the provinces it seems we can always count on them to trade jurisdictional purity when cash comes to shove. You can all expect Harper to be out of cash by the 2010 due date, just in time for his wait time policy outcomes to be evaluated and the provinces will have to account to citizens on this Harper policy.
The provinces are going to wear the political fall out from the lack of real performance for any effective wait time guarantee outcomes. Harper will have moved on, in one way or another. If he is still PM expect the second shoe to drop and he will say that his government, unlike the former Liberal government, respects the provincial jurisdiction in health care and expects them to deal with their own problems on wait time guarantees. That is the way this federal encroachment has always worked in the past and why would Harper be any different now?
It is always the same game when the feds agree to pay for new health care initiatives. At the beginning they buy provincial inclusion and engagement and they always pull out when the going gets tough or they have changed policy direction to some other flavour of the month.
It always ends up the same way, just like the old Peanuts cartoon. Remember the one where the Feds play Lucy holding the football and the Provinces play Charlie Brown. Chuck always who knows she will pull the ball away just as he goes to kick it but he continues to take the sucker bait every time.
Rest assured these fresh federal funds are not the answer to wait times and will do more harm than good to the over all system. Every MSM editorial and commentator I have read have called this ploy for just what it is – political hypocrisy and election posturing.
Given his dismal record on keeping campaign promises and his bullying style of playing power politics, I wonder why anyone who is politically engaged, and not a card carrying CPC party member, actually believes or believes in Stephen Harper anymore. This video captures the essence of Harper's duplicity.

The Liberals promised to fix health care back in 1992. Now THAT is classic Dubya!!!ReplyDelete
Yes and the Martin government put in $41B just over a year ago too...remember calling it a "fix for a generation."ReplyDelete
They were still interfering in provincial jurisdiction.
How is that anything to do with Dubya - classic or otherwise...please explain!
- sheilabee1:40 am
what a great video. Do you think the Libs could use something like this? I'm not sure but would you say this was an attack ad or a negative ad? Whatever, it is absolutely bang on. It really shows who he is...but, do we really know who he is. A poll not too long ago was asked this question, and it became clear that the population did not really know who Harper is or really what he stands for. If you learned about him when he was Pres. of the National Citizens Coalition then he was certainly different now where he puports to be a middle of the guy p.m. So your heading is dead on.ReplyDelete
- eric3:34 pm
The way you write your post illustrates the "old-style" federalism - where it is conceded that the LPC can intrude into provincial jurisdiction at will. Quebec, Alberta, and now seemingly Ontario have all rejected that approach in favour of open federalism. Dion, the hardcore straight-arm federalist, better get with the times or risk alienating many Cdns.ReplyDelete
Unfortunatley for the LPC, health care is no longer one of their strong points. Martin slashed health care funding to a point where you're so-called cash injection (so-called because this was 'announced' right before the LPC fell) did not fix all the damage that the LPC had done.
eric - you have to reframe your thinking about me. I have not yet found a federal party since the Joe Clark Progressive Conservatives who I thought respected jurisdiction. And that was what was then in the BNA Act was still around.ReplyDelete
I like Dion the man and politician but not the old-style Liberal track record. Especially in the Chretien times and though the one-offs deals Martin made with provinces which in many cases was ill concieved pandering...Harper has learned well from those two former Liberal PMs.
You have to accept that I "concede" nothing to the Cons as being acceptable to govern because of their emulation of those past Liberal mistakes.
Harper's mimicing of a rejected "old-style" Liberal governance model does not make him acceptable.
In fact Canadians voted for a minority Harper government to see if he would be different - he is not. That is not only unacceptable - it is perhaps a betrayal given how duplicitous he has been with his policy directions of late.
We need another hero - Harper is not it. Layton is not it. Dion and May are not yet defined enough to know if they fit the bill or not.
BTW - what is "open federalism" and how is it different from aysmetical federalism? And how comfy is the Cons election campaign war room? You working out of there now?
Wouldn't that money be better spent on pre-electon attack ads on Dion since Harper really really does not want an election now?
Or are we to take that pronouncment with the same grains of salt we need to view his other campaign delivery "claims" over wait time guarantees and child care promises...just to name two of his hoaxes.

An exciting new reality lies beneath the recent shock-and-awe offseason campaign unleashed by the now glitz-and-glamour Toronto Blue Jays. This reality is that the AL East has become a banyan of dynamic starting pitching unlike any other MLB division.
Collectively, rotations in the AL East are ripe with a healthy mixture of youth, ironclad talent and battle-tested experience. The same also boasts a nice combo of crafty aces, dominant fireballers and left and right-handed workhorses.
Consequently, more than any time in recent history the AL East is truly an intriguing force. This division is driven by tangible statistics and intangible traits that make it nearly impossible to predict what team will be crowned AL East champion in 2013.
Perhaps the most enigmatic rotation in the AL East is the Baltimore Orioles. Fresh from a 93-69 record (and first postseason berth in 15 years) in 2012, Baltimore looks to concrete a rotation that can be described as a patchwork of unproven journeymen.
This slideshow reveals how the Orioles' rotation stacks up against the rest of the teams in the AL East.
Note: Analysis of rotations includes a look at collective talent, depth, experience and flexibility. Analysis also incorporates stability and skill at the catcher position (because a great catcher can help transform a rotation).

what is confusing me is that any closed interval is homeomorphic to [0,1]. So, even we have disjoint closed intervals, they are homeomorphically same.
Please guide me
Dear all; I am wondering if we can glue two closed intervals to form a circle wrapped twice. I mean if we have tow disjoint closed intervals [0,1] and join the end point of the first interval to the start point of the second, and joining the end point of the second to the start point of the first, what we will get? I am confusing. I think that we can get a circle or may be an embedding of circle wrapped twice ? Suppose this construction is in R^3, then is it embedding of a circle or a circle wrapped twice? What do you think? Please help me and any guidance or comment is highly appreciated Best Regards;

I'm looking at a 2007 Harley Electra Glide Ultra Classic as a replacement for the Honda VTX 1300 I totaled but it's been 1985 since I owned an Electra Glide and I know things have changed a little. What are the things I should look out for on a used Harely these days? The one I had before was new so I was starting with a clean slate. Any "gottchas" to look out for? There is a lot of electronics on them now and I know my 85 liked to go through stattors a lot. Is that still a weak spot? I did have a lot of lights on that thing though.

I don't believe you can't so why bother with x86? I am no expert but i am sure if Intel are starting from scratch and making a whole new type of chip then surely there is a better arch. than the 20 year old x86. You only need to look at the mobile market and how much better ARM and MIPS chips are than Intel's chips trying adapt x86 where its not meant to be.
Its time Intel started thinking outside the box instead of just trying to throw hundreds of x86 at the problem try coming up with something new, something revolutionary. If its good enough people will learn how to code for it.

Have you ever gone through the bin of used clothes and found the most perfect outfit only to discover a stain? Have you ever pulled your kid's favorite shirt out of the dryer to see that it still looks dirty? I just recently found ninety percent of my toddler's clothes covered in stains. Her clothes looked like she had been playing in them for days straight even though they'd just come out of the dryer. Talk about frustrated!
With my secret stain removing solution, all of that frustration will disappear, especially since you won't need to spend huge amounts of money on stain removers or use loads of chemicals to get your clothes clean. I've discovered the most effective stain removing solution made from just a couple common ingredients: baking soda & dish soap.
Brand name baking soda costs less than $3.00 for an 8 oz box. You can get dish soap for under $2.00 per bottle. For a total of less than $5.00 you can remove 99% of stains for at least four full loads of laundry. The steps are simple:
- Fill a bucket or storage tub with cool water and add 1/4 cup of baking soda to the water.
- Dip clothes into the baking soda water.
- Using a small amount of dish soap, lightly scrub the stain, collar, and/or cuffs of clothes.
- Soak clothes in the baking soda water over night. If you have a very stubborn stain repeat steps 1-5 and allow to soak for multiple days. Baking soda will not hurt your clothes.
- Drain water from tub/bucket, squeeze out most of the water and throw your clothes in the washer. Wash as normal.
- Before throwing clothes into the dryer check for stains. If you have remaining stains, soak and wash again.
I used this method for a full load of toddler clothes that included white and pink shirts full of stains. I had to repeat the method with two items of clothing. After the second round everything was clean without a single spot. All of the clothes had been washed and dried numerous times to set in those stains and it still worked! So before you throw out your child's clothes due to stains, give this simple stain remover a try!

People often ask me why I am a bodybuilder or why I feel so compelled me to lift weights and always strive to be greater. Well, I do not know if I can answer this question honestly, all I can say is why some people choose to run or play tennis or golf? For me, my sport or hobby is weight training, but I try not to people who have pushed my sport to others.
Because if you really do not like something, you do not like to stay too long. One thing I can say is about bodybuilding, I think it's the best way to get fit and feel better. By formatting I lose fat and building muscle, the end result is a completely redesigned body speaks. Look at it this way, if in the next six months you will be added solid ten pounds of body weight for the frame and dropped a few pant sizes you think you look? Chances are very different from what you want to look like half a year ago, you would be leaner, stronger and healthier I would bet to start.
This is the perfect reason to build, but there are many more reasons. For example, if you happened to your sport or tennis, you think, with stronger shoulders might help your game? I'd bet yes. Or do you think could improve your work life if you were in great shape. One can not underestimate the fact that other confidence comes as well in form really. Of course, many people assume that they end up looking like the guy on the cover of bodybuilding magazines, when in truth, the guys have much better genetics than the rest of us. Rest assured, the vast majority of people undergoing weight training will not look like this. But as already stated, adding 10 pounds attached to the frame with a good drop in body fat is your body and mind into someone you never thought you could ever be transformed.

What would you do without Twitter? Without the immediate reminisces of thousands of fans who confirmed that they too remember watching Junior Seau play football? Ah, Twitter. It's exasperating at times, but it keeps me in tune with the world of MMA. Who is sponsoring whom? What fights does Joe Silva have lined up for us? What random scavenger hunts has Dana White set up today?
Keeping up with Twitter is a daunting task. It's easy to miss things—and that's why I'll be here every evening, breaking down the day's best and most important tweets.
Today, a fighter pays close attention to the rankings, reporters crack jokes and Josh Koscheck goes on the offensive.

West Tennessee Solar Farm Project Haywood County, Tennessee
On May 12, 2009, the State of Tennessee filed an application with DOE to use some of its SEP funds appropriated under the ARRA to establish the Volunteer State Solar Initiative. This environmental assessment (EA) was prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), which requires federal agencies to evaluate the potential impacts of their proposed actions.

Daly City Votes to Continue Subsidizing Residential Parking Permits
Daly City's City Council shot down a proposal last month to charge $40 a year for residential parking permits near the city's BART station. The permits, which give resident car owners privileged access to on-street parking, are currently free.
The proposed fee, which amounts to 11 cents per day, elicited raucous opposition from public commenters at the council meeting. The fee would have applied only to a household's third and fourth parking permits, leaving the first two permits free. The maximum number of permits each household could receive would be capped at four vehicles, up from the current three.
"The proposed fee would encourage driveway and off-street parking; reduce traffic congestion; create a safer pedestrian environment in the affected neighborhoods; recover the costs for processing parking permits and a small portion of the cost for parking permits enforcement," wrote Daly City Director of Finance and Administrative Services Lawrence Chiu.
The argument to stop subsidizing parking quite so much didn't get very far. City Council Member Judith Christensen called the proposal "outrageous."
"That would be 1,039 people who will be paying $40 for something that for 20 years was free," she noted, pointing to the city's data on how many households are now parking a third or fourth vehicle in the street.
"I'm absolutely opposed to the raising of parking permit fees… we should disapprove any fee whatsoever," said Council Member David Canepa.

Okay, so you've done the training, tapered, and you are ready to race. Or are you? Race day nutrition is so important yet only given a fleeting thought by so many athletes. What you ingest pre, during and post race not only has a profound impact on your race performance, but also your ability to recover from the effort. But it's so common to see athletes arise on the morning of a race and either eat nothing, eat too few calories, eat too close to race start, eat too much fiber, or other similar mistakes that can effect your race outcome. Then during the race, many people lack a fluid/calorie intake plan and either fall short of or overdo their hydration/energy requirements. Similarly, once the race is over most of us just hang around or hop into the car and drive home without reloading. This article will offer advice on fueling your body for a peak performance, and accelerating your recovery from the effort.
The PRE RACE meal is a necessity for racing at any distances. Your liver glycogen levels are slightly depleted during sleep and you'll need to top up this tank, as you will your blood sugar levels. Consume this meal at 2-4 hours before race start. Spread this out over 2 hours if possible, and consume the bulk of the calories and/or more solid food closer to 4 hours and more liquid calories closer to 2 hours. It's a wide range and you should see just how hungry you are – you don't want to stuff yourself. Any solid food should be easily digestible. The number of calories you need to consume will depend largely on your body weight and your ability to "stomach" them. As a guide, for a range in body weight of 50-80 kgs, an athlete should be looking at taking in 400-1200 calories. The calories should be broken down as 65-70% carbohydrate, 15-20% protein and 10-15% fat. For an intake of 600 calories, this would mean approximately 97-105 grams of Carbs, 22-30 grams of Protein and 15-22 grams of Fat. The carbohydrates should be complex. You don't want too much fibre, either, unless you are planning a pit stop or 5 on the run course. Some people do best on solid food, whilst others can only stomach liquid calories such as a liquid meal replacement . Personally, we mix up a combination of glucose polymers, protein powder and flaxseed oil and advise our athletes to test this out for themselves. However, one thing IS certain – you have to find out BEFORE race day what works for YOU – liquids, solids, or a combination of the two. Practice different combinations of calories before some of your longer workouts and see how they sit with you.
Nutrition DURING a race should not vary drastically from nutrition during training. In general, you will be racing at higher intensities than during training and burning up more carbohydrate and will therefore need to take in more calories and fluids. There will have more fuel and fluid available (aid stations) than during training sessions, so take advantage of it. You'll need around 750-1750ml of fluid per hour depending on weight, sweat rates and temperature/humidity. In most triathlon events (even the longest ones) the primary energy source is carbohydrate. In longer events take in about 250-500 calories per hour. We prefer using all liquid calories and possibly some squeezies during the run as opposed to energy bars or solid foods. But everyone is different, and you should experiment during training to find out what works the best for you.
In general, smaller athletes 55 kg or less need about 250-350 calories per hour while larger athletes 80 kg or more may need up to 500 calories per hour. The longer the event the more you will use both fat and protein for fuel along with the carbs so you will benefit from including them in your race nutrition. Faster athletes can often get by on carbs only, but if you are on the course for 5 hours or more then you should consider taking in more than just carbohydrate on the bike. Liquid meals or sports bars with protein and a little fat (probably in the form of medium chain triglycerides) could work well in this case. I would aim for around 10-15% of your calories from protein, or 6-18 grams per hour.
Swim – no calories (no kidding!). Not even the lake or ocean water! During the first hour of exercise, irrespective of the quantity of carbohydrate consumed, only about 20 grams of carbohydrates are oxidised by the working muscles.
Bike – drink only water or diluted energy drink for the first 15-20 minutes. After that try to take in consistently up to 250-500 calories per hour (again, depending on body size and personal requirements) from a combination of energy drink, gels or energy bars.
Run – if you can carry a bottle from the transition area with sports drink that would be good. You are shooting for up to but probably slightly less calories per hour than on the bike. If you are not sure about the drink and it's strength/mix on the course then you will probably want to carry your calories in squeezies or a gel flask, and dilute it with water. The other option is 2-3 cups of energy drink every 10-15 minutes (a cup could be anywhere from 30-60 calories).
One of the areas that appears to cause the most problems during a race is HOW MANY CALORIES SHOULD YOU PUT IN YOUR BOTTLES? The optimal range for calorie concentration is between 5-10% with 7% being ideal for most athletes and under most conditions. A 7% concentration is about 200 calories per 700ml. In very warm or hot weather it is best to lean towards the lower side of the range and during cooler temperatures lean toward the higher side of the range. You need to consider everything you will be consuming during the race – energy drinks, bars, gels, Big Mac's, whatever……. The overall calorie to fluid ratio should bring you to within this concentration range. In other words, the more calories you consume, the more fluid you will need to go with it – otherwise water will need to be taken from your working muscles to attempt to digest and absorb it all – a sure fire recipe for cramps. If you plan on consuming gels and bars then you may want to consider going light on the amount of calories in your bottles. Also keep in mind the recommended total amount of fluid that can be reasonably consumed per hour(750-1750m)l.
Now the race is done, and you kicked some serious freckle. First thing to do is kick back and hook into a brewskie or three, right? WRONG! Put the beer on hold (for now). The first hour after a long race (and training session for that matter) is THE most important time to replace fluid, carbohydrate and protein. The body is in serious need of rehydration and repair at this time so give it what it needs to speed recovery. First, drink around 500-750ml of water. Then you want to consume a RECOVERY BOTTLE that you will have prepared pre race. You want a mix of carbohydrate (60-75g), protein powder (25-35g) and essential fatty acids/flax oil (14g – 1 tablespoon). Depending on the event it could be appropriate to follow up an hour later with another 70-100 grams of carbohydrate. Then, go eat some REAL food. Continue to drink plenty of water over the next 12 hours. We can't emphasise this enough when it comes to day to day recovery from hard training.
Are we sick of eating/drinking yet? Yes, it can be a chore but if you really want optimum performance then it's worth the effort.

Korean researchers at Seoul National University have created a special kind of dog that…glows in the dark. Tegon, a female beagle, was genetically modified so she can glow in the dark, which is a pretty odd trait to go for in a dog.
Tegon took four years and approximately $3 million dollars to be made. What benefit a glow-in-the-dark pup will bring the world, I truly do not know but hey, they now exist.

More commonly found in shallow tidal areas with muddy bottoms and brackish waters, tolerating a wide range of salinities (virtually fresh to fully saline or hypersaline). Found only in spring and summer in the tidal portion of the Ochlockonee River, Florida. Feed mostly on Mysis and copepods, also small fishes, gastropods and isopods. Breed off North Carolina from late April to mid-July, perhaps through to August. Used to some extent to make anchovy paste (Ref. 189).

Acupuncture for Depression
One of the basic principles of science-based medicine is that a single study rarely tells us much about any complex topic. Reliable conclusions are derived from an assessment of basic science (i.e prior probability or plausibility) and a pattern of effects across multiple clinical trials. However the mainstream media generally report each study as if it is a breakthrough or the definitive answer to the question at hand. If the many e-mails I receive asking me about such studies are representative, the general public takes a similar approach, perhaps due in part to the media coverage.
I generally do not plan to report on each study that comes out as that would be an endless and ultimately pointless exercise. But occasionally focusing on a specific study is educational, especially if that study is garnering a significant amount of media attention. And so I turn my attention this week to a recent study looking at acupuncture in major depression during pregnancy. The study concludes:
The short acupuncture protocol demonstrated symptom reduction and a response rate comparable to those observed in standard depression treatments of similar length and could be a viable treatment option for depression during pregnancy.

It may not be late – only a little past 630 pm but my body is starting to get tired and I am getting sleepy. I am starting to doze in and out here in the recliner with Bing above me on the back of the chair dozing himself. I have played my games such as Farkle, Bejeweled Blitz, and checking things out online via Facebook. I was falling in and out of sleep playing Bejeweled Blitz so I am going to say good night and God bless now and return some time tomorrow and watch a little more TV before going to bed for the night. I am not going to have any company tonight. CSE could not even make up her mind about what time she was going to visit and help me and Bing out so I decided to good night to her after telling her it going to be too late for her to come down at 730 pm tonight. Too tired and Monday through Thursday I am always up by 8 am so I can have my morning shower. I was not in the mood to argue with CSE tonight whatsoever about her coming to visit and I do wish I never texted her about 2 hrs ago. I am once again not too happy with her all over again. She needs to start getting help for her mental, physical, and emotional problems she is dealing with and denying. She is very sick!

Have A Good Day
I have to leave for work within the next 1/2 hr so I thought I would come back and write a quick thought. I hope everyone has a good day and when I return, later this afternoon, I will do my best at writing more thought before I had to bed. I ended up falling in and out of sleep last night before 10 pm so my world went to bed early for the most part. Anyway I have had a good morning so far and now my morning is almost over. I have had my shower, got dressed and presentable for the day, my shower gal D put my hair up in a high ponytail for the day so I can stay a little cooler and have my long hair out of my face for work today. Sometimes my hair gets in the way of my eyes and face to the point it annoys me but I am growing my hair long for Locks of Love. It is long yes, but not quite long enough yet to give it away for Locks of Love.
Remembering A Promise To A Dear Family Friend
EW passed away September 22, 2008 and several weeks before she passed away after a short battle of cancer that had come back after being cancer free for a while – not sure how long she was cancer free at the moment. We were talking one day and my hair below my ears and almost to my shoulders at the time, I had told EW that I was going to grow my hair to give it away to Locks of Love after she had told me that her cancer had returned and there was nothing the doctor could do and she had a short time to live. At that point I promised her I would give my hair to Locks of Love. Today, being September 7, 2011, three years later, my hair is not long enough but almost there, and I have not broken my promise to my dear and close family friend EW and will continue with my promise to the day it gets cut short again for Locks of Love. I am so looking forward to the day when it comes and the idea of having my hair cut for Locks of Love still makes me feel real good inside.
Missing EW
The anniversary of EW's death is not that terribly far away now but it is coming as the days pass. There does not go a day that I think of EW. I think of her everyday today and have been doing more so lately because it is September 2011. Even though the 22nd is 15 1/2 days away yet, the 22nd is coming rather quick in my way of thinking. With the idea of working now – being a working gal now after almost 11 years, I do have to admit that I am busy more than I was before I had a job. My last job was working at Data Shop doing data entry for the company. I loved the job but my emotional health got in the way after a couple of years and I decided to go on to school for a while. It just does not seem that time is passing by so quickly these days.
I've Got To Run
It is almost time for me to go to work so I am going to say good bye for now and come back later sometime after I get back home – if I am not tired and do retire to bed early. I am just about ready to go now and my world is complete at the moment. I hope everyone has a good afternoon and God bless. Good bye for now but not forever!
Now I Believe I Am Back On Track, LOL
I am not totally sure at this point but I do believe I am back on track on what day it is and now with Monday and Tuesday gone, and the three day weekend behind me, I can move on through the rest of the week working whatever days I will be working, enjoying my time reading and writing, snuggling, cuddling, and loving my Bing Crosby kitty, and enjoying my life that God gave me. Today I have to go into work but I do not have to leave until 1130 am this morning in order to be there by 1230 pm this afternoon. No early day for me today. Yesterday I stapled packets together – applications and DVR applications together and filled out my application for work and filled out a DVR packet for JD who is one of my bosses. After that, I did my best at downloading a program on the computer that I am going to be using for work but it did not seem to work so I did not get the program downloaded as I had hoped for my boss BV. Yes, I have two bosses. My bosses are partners in the business I am working for – IDC Creations. After that, I filled out a time card sheet for JD and got my hours printed to put in a file – a file that has yet to have my name, lol. I was having trouble finding my file and I was beginning to wonder if JD had my file made yet, lol. I ended up putting my printed out time sheet and two time cards on her desk for her to take care of it later in the day after I left. I worked from 1030 am and had lunch at 1130 to 12 noon, and worked yet for another 1/2 hour before leaving for the day. I worked for an 1 1/2 today. Today was a very good day all day long – for the most part anyway.
More later…

Purpose: To study prognostic spectral domain optical coherence tomography parameters in diabetic cystoid macular edema after anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study included 49 eyes with the new onset diabetic cystoid macular edema that had to have a macular spectral domain optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography at presentation. The baseline optical coherence tomography scans were analyzed for variables indicative of the extent of retinal involvement by the cystoid change and its location about the center. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed comparing the optical coherence tomography findings between the two groups of eyes: the "No improvement" and the "Improvement" groups, based on at least two Snellen lines improvement after treatment.
Results: There were 30 and 19 eyes in the No improvement and Improvement groups, respectively. In the univariate analysis, the baseline optical coherence tomography parameters associated with visual improvement included the photoreceptor inner segments thickness centrally (P = 0.009) and within the central 1-mm subfield (P < 0.0001), and the presence of bridging retinal processes centrally (P = 0.004). Multivariate analysis showed both presence and central location of bridging retinal processes within the central 1-mm subfield to be significantly associated with visual improvement (P = 0.041 and 0.005, respectively), with an odds ratio of 13.4 (95% confidence interval, 1.336–636.18; P = 0.010) for their central location.
Conclusion: In diabetic cystoid macular edema, visual improvement after anti–vascular endothelial growth factor therapy is more likely to occur in eyes with residual central retinal processes on baseline macular spectral domain optical coherence tomography. This finding may be helpful in patient counseling, case selection, and clinical trial planning.

Obama: "Best is yet to come" for the United States

Accompanied on stage at the massive McCormick Place convention center in Chicago by his wife and their two daughters, Obama said after defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney that the "task of perfecting our union moves forward."
"Whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you. I have learned from you and you have made me a better president," Obama said in the wee hours of Wednesday, pledging to return to the White House "more determined and more inspired than ever."
Obama, who fulfilled a campaign promise to end the combat mission in Iraq during his first term, said the challenges that still await him include reducing the deficit, overhauling the tax code and finding a comprehensive solution to the nation's troubled immigration system.
He also congratulated Romney on his campaign and said he hoped to sit down with the former Massachusetts governor to discuss how the two parties can work together to "move this country forward."
Obama won nearly all the key battleground states in Tuesday's balloting, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia and all-important Ohio.
Death toll in major Guatemala earthquake stands at 39
The death toll in the magnitude-7.4 earthquake that struck Guatemala now stands at 39 and local authorities said that it could go higher.
Arnoldo Rivera, the governor of the northwestern province of San Marcos, told local media earlier in the day that "officially ... there are 29 fatalities and 155 people injured," but 10 more fatalities were later added to that total as emergency crews searched the rubble of collapsed buildings in the province.
At least 135 homes in that region were destroyed, he said.
Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina said earlier at a press conference at the headquarters of the Conred emergency management agency that around 100 people were listed as missing in San Marcos.
Puerto Ricans support U.S. statehood for first time
For the first time in their history, a majority of Puerto Ricans expressed support for U.S. statehood in a non-binding referendum on the future of the island's relationship with Washington.
The result of the plebiscite, held on Tuesday to coincide with the general election, breaks decades of local support for the island's current commonwealth status.
Just over 61 percent of voters favored seeking to make Puerto Rico the 51st state, while 33.31 percent supported an enhanced commonwealth arrangement and just 5.53 percent were in favor of full independence.
Statehood would require the approval of the U.S. Congress.
Puerto Rico changes course, elects Garcia Padilla as governor
Puerto Ricans decided to shift course by electing Alejandro Garcia Padilla of the pro-commonwealth Popular Democratic Party, or PPD, as their new governor.
Delays by the State Elections Commission of Puerto Rico in announcing the results of the voting meant that Garcia Padilla did not celebrate his victory until the wee hours of Wednesday, while Gov. Luis Fortuño of the pro-statehood New Progressive Party, or PNP, did not concede until late Wednesday morning.
With 96.35 percent of the votes counted, 47.85 percent of the ballots were cast for the PPD standard-bearer, compared to 47.04 percent for Fortuño.
Arizona Hispanic community still stuck with Arpaio
The immigrant community in the Phoenix area is preparing to live another four years with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who over the past few years has intensified his fight against undocumented migrants.
Arpaio, 80, was reelected Tuesday to a sixth consecutive term with 53 percent of the votes.
The controversial Republican sheriff received another mandate despite several pending federal lawsuits accusing his office of engaging in racial profiling against Hispanics.
EU expects Spanish economy to stay in recession until 2014
The European Commission said it expects Spain's economy to contract by 1.4 percent both this year and next before rebounding in 2014 with growth of 0.8 percent.
The commission's latest forecast is more pessimistic than the one it issued in May, when it predicted Spain's gross domestic product would decline by 0.3 percent in 2013.
Its figures are largely in line with the latest forecast by the International Monetary Fund, which said it expects Spain's economy to shrink by 1.5 percent in 2012 and 1.3 percent in 2013.
The commission said Spain will remain in recession well into 2013 due to a deteriorating labor market, deficit-cutting measures and difficult credit conditions.
5 Gunned down in Brazilian metropolis
Five people were killed and three others wounded overnight in separate shootings in Brazil's largest city and its suburbs, authorities said.
The incidents came just hours after the Sao Paulo state government and Brazilian federal officials announced the implementation of a joint plan to confront a recent upsurge in violence here.
Two young men were fatally shot late Tuesday in the crime-ridden Sao Paulo city neighborhood of Itaquera, a source in the municipal Public Safety Office told Efe, while shootings in nearby areas left a youth dead and a police officer wounded.
The other two fatalities were reported on Sao Paulo's north side and in suburban Guarulhos, respectively.
4 Hurt in shootout between police and Indians in Brazil
Four people were wounded in a gunfight between Brazilian federal police and Munduruku Indians in a remote Amazonian village, authorities said.
The clash took place in a hamlet outside the town of Alta Floresta, 775 kilometers (481 miles) north of Cuiaba, capital of Mato Grosso state.
The police involved in the incident were part of a multistate operation targeting illegal gold mining.
The officers came under attack with bullets and arrows as they were destroying equipment allegedly used in illegal mining, a police spokesman told Efe.
Two Munduruku and two cops were hurt in the ensuing battle.

Paul Attanasio is a well-decorated and much-credentialed writer and producer responsible for movies like "Donnie Brasco" and "Quiz Show." John Attanasio, his son, is a s***head… allegedly. In the video, this kid identifies himself as John Attanasio and says that his car is worth $1,000,000. It's a nice car for a 16-year-old, but clearly he's exaggerating a li'l bit.
This video is making the internet rounds kinda hard, but let's hope that dad can take some time off of making movies and put some sense into this boy's head.

DVD Camcorder with 42x Optical Zoom and Advanced O.I.S.
Details http://shop.panasonic.com/support-only/VDR-D50.html
DVD Camcorder with 42x Optical Zoom, Advanced Optical Image Stabilization, Color Viewfinder, One-Touch Navigation and Built-In SD Card Slot, Records to 8cm DVD and SD Card
|Advanced O.I.S. Reduces Camera Shake, Even at 42x Zoom
The VDR-D50's 42x optical zoom lens has the power you need to take dramatic closeups or get remarkable shots of even distant subjects. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge effect on picture quality. That's where Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) comes in, suppressing the effects of hand shake as you shoot. The system uses gyrosensors to detect hand shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate. This all happens a remarkable 4,000 times per second. And because the system is optical, no image quality is lost. Thanks to Advanced O.I.S., the images you capture look incredibly clear, sharp and blur-free even at high zoom levels.
Easy to Shoot, Easy to View, Easy to Enjoy
For quick and easy operation, this DVD camcorder automatically finds a blank section on the disc when you start shooting. And with multi-format recording1, you can choose whichever type of disc works best with your DVD player or recorder. When you finish shooting, just take the disc from the camcorder and slip it right into your DVD player or recorder. There's no need to connect any cables and you can start viewing your memories right away2.
Edit Your Videos
You can either insert the DVD disc right into your PC or use the included USB cable to connect the camcorder to your PC and transfer the motion-image data that way3. Then with the included VideoCam Suite 1.0 software, you can easily put scenes in a different order and delete the ones you don't want. When you're finished with your video production, you can resave the edited version onto an SD memory card or a DVD disc.

VDR-D50 is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great camcorder I use to work as a camra man for a local TV station filming sporting events. I recently purchased The VDR D50 and find it to be a great camra for the price. The Optic Image Stabilization is very nice. Almost as fluid as a floating studio rig. The D50 of course dose not have all the bells and whistles of a $2000 and up cam. Panasonic still managed to put in some nice features. The soft skin feature gives good edge smoothing without loss of picture quality. The Backlight feature is good. I would have liked to have an infrared night vision capability but I'm not complaining.
Date published: 2009-02-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Does not work with Vista 64 bit The camera works great. It is easy to use and takes great videos and stills. What I am extremely dissatisfied with is the fact it does not work with Windows Vista 64 bit and nowhere does it state that fact.

Katy Perry's Cupcake Trampoline Sells For Thousands At Auction
Katy Perry's cupcake trampoline has helped swell the funds of the Japanese relief effort after it sold for thousands at an online auction.
Bosses at record company EMI raided their storage vaults and asked all artists to donate items for the 10-day eBay.com sale, which ended on Thursday.
French electronic duo Daft Punk offered up their black Ferrari used in the film Electroma, and the sports car went under the hammer for $40,960, while Perry's colorful cupcake trampoline prop - currently in use as a setpiece on her California Dreams tour - fetched $4,966.
But the winning bidder for the pop star's trampoline faces a wait for the odd item - it won't be available until after Perry completes her tour in January, 2012.
Other big items sold on Thursday included a limited edition Beatles Sting-Ray bicycle, which featured animation from Yellow Submarine. That sold for $3,280. And one Dean Martin fan paid $1,473 for the chance to record a duet with Dino at the legendary Capitol Studios.
Signed guitars donated by Norah Jones and Willie Nelson, and David Bowie and Duran Duran memorabilia also went under the hammer.
All proceeds from the online auction will benefit earthquake/tsunami relief charities in Japan.

Most employees are eligible for FEGLI coverage. FEGLI provides group term life insurance. As such, it does not build up any cash value or paid-up value. It consists of Basic life insurance coverage and three options. In most cases, if you are a new Federal employee, you are automatically covered by Basic life insurance and your payroll office deducts premiums from your paycheck unless you waive the coverage. In addition to the Basic, there are three forms of Optional insurance you can elect. You must have Basic insurance in order to elect any of the options. Unlike Basic, enrollment in Optional insurance is not automatic -- you must take action to elect the options.
The cost of Basic insurance is shared between you and the Government. You pay 2/3 of the total cost and the Government pays 1/3. Your age does not affect the cost of Basic insurance. You pay the full cost of Optional insurance, and the cost depends on your age. The Office of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance (OFEGLI), which is a private entity that has a contract with the Federal Government, processes and pays claims under the FEGLI Program.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Hal Sutton looked at the bright side Monday. His best performance in the Masters came in 1983, right after he won The Players Championship.
He arrived at Augusta National one week after beating Tiger Woods on the TPC at Sawgrass, his confidence as high as ever and his game in the best shape it has ever been.
The downside?
No one has ever won The Players Championship and the Masters in the same year. That's double trouble for Sutton, who hasn't even made the cut at Augusta since 1985.
"I'm expecting more out of myself this week than I have ever performed - but that's not a lot," Sutton said with a laugh. "I'm expecting to play well. My game is at a level I can expect that out of myself."
Next comes the difficult part - proving it.
Sutton blames his problems on being too aggressive. Early in his career, he played with such reckless abandon that he often wound up on the wrong side of the hole, and Augusta can be the most unforgiving course in the world.
"In my early years, my short game wasn't up to the standard it needed to be to perform well here," he said. "The last few years, my short was better but I attacked the pins too hard. I need to be more patient with my irons."
Sutton can understand why no one has even added a green jacket so shortly after winning The Players Championship, a grinding week on a difficult course.
He returned home to Louisiana and found 33 messages on his answering machine. He also found himself out of gas.
"It does take a lot out of you, especially leading it wire to wire, and going a fifth day on top of it," he said. "I don't mind telling you I was tired last week and did very little practicing. Plus, it was raining the whole time, so that gave me a built-in excuse.
"That doesn't mean I can't win here." While Woods figures to be the star attraction when the Masters begins Thursday, don't be surprised to see a threesome that might grab the nostalgic gallery at Augusta: Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus.
They were called the "Big Three," trading major championships like heavyweights in the ring. At least one of them won a major championship from 1958 to 1968, and they combined to win eight out of nine Masters from 1958 to 1966.
For the second year in a row, the Masters will be played in threesomes instead of the traditional twosomes to take better advantage of daylight.
Defending champion Jose Maria Olazabal will play with U.S. Amateur champion David Gossett, along with a third player.
Also, tee times will be switched so that each player goes off in the morning and afternoon in the first two rounds. Until last year, tee times depended on the leading scores after the first day. Gabriel Hjertstedt might have hit the longest drive in PGA Tour history last week during the BellSouth Classic. Sort of.
During the third round, Hjertstedt's drive on No. 10 strayed to the right. After a couple of minutes searching for it, a spectator said he thought the ball landed in the back of a maintenance cart that was collecting trash.
"I said, `Where's the cart?' He said it took off," Hjertstedt recalled while having lunch Monday in the Augusta National clubhouse.
He asked a television crew to track down the cart, which was found about a mile away. Sure enough, his ball was in the back. Hjertstedt took a drop, hit his approach and made par. Butch Harmon, the coach for Woods the past seven years, finally got a chance to play Augusta National. And it proved why he's a better teacher than a player.
"These greens are way too fast for me," said Harmon, who failed to break 80.
Claude Harmon, his father, won the 1948 Masters by five strokes.
The son also played the PGA Tour and was the first winner of the B.C. Open. But that was before it was an official tour event, in a time where winning didn't guarantee a trip to the Masters. Mark Calcavecchia once used his wife as a caddie. George Archer had his daughter on the bag. Ken Green hired his sister.
British Amateur champion Graeme Storm is about to top them all. His caddie will be his mother.
Jane Storm has been carrying the bag for about five years, and when he qualified for the Masters by winning at Royal Count Down last year, thoughts turned to Augusta.
"It just happened, really," Storm said. "She would drive me to the golf tournaments and then stay around and caddie for me."
Mrs. Storm went to the caddie shack on Sunday and tried on three white jump suits before they trimmed six inches off the legs and arms to make it fit. The last three Masters champions previously played as an amateur. Only Tiger Woods made the cut, a tie for 41st in 1995 when he was 19. ... Fred Couples, who withdrew from the BellSouth Classic because of a sore back, will try to extend his consecutive cuts in the Masters to 16. ... The Masters has not gone to a playoff in 10 years. ... Sergio Garcia, who parted way with Fanny Sunesson two weeks ago, has hired Glenn Murray as his caddie. Murray previously worked for Retief Goosen.

Sweet Sue Terry
"Sweet" Sue Terry began her professional playing career at the age of sixteen, playing for church performances and musical theater. She began playing Jazz gigs while attending the Hartt School, a well-known music conservatory in Hartford. Though she was accepted as a Classical clarinetist, her secret agenda was to study with the late Jazz legend Jackie McLean, which she did for five years. The Hartt School elected her Alumna of the Year in 2001.
Sue first heard Jazz music as a child growing up in Connecticut, where her father had an extensive record collection and she listened to WRVR FM non-stop.
As a teenager studying with legendary pianist and educator John Mehegan, Sue mentioned she would like to write a big band arrangement for her high school Jazz Ensemble. Mehegan bet her an ice cream cone that she couldn't do it. She won.
Since then, Sweet Sue has played and recorded with a variety of notable Jazz artists including Dr. Billy Taylor, Clark Terry, Charli Persip, Clifford Jordan, Melba Liston, Hilton Ruiz, Howard Johnson, Tim Price, Walter Bishop, Jr., Jaki Byard and Derwyn Holder. She has also performed with Jazz VIPs like Art Blakey, Carmen McRae, Jon Faddis, Lew Tabackin, Wynton Marsalis, Lew Soloff and Ray Barretto.
She's been a Jazz soloist with the National Symphony, the Brooklyn Philharmonic and the New York Pops, and has performed worldwide at venues such as The Montreux Jazz Festival, Nice Jazz Festival, Pori Jazz Festival, Northsea Jazz Festival, the Blue Note in Tokyo, Japan, Quasimodo in Berlin, Germany, Marian's Jazzclub in Bern, Switzerland, and Spice of Life in London, UK. In the States she has been a frequent performer at venues such as The Kennedy Center in Wash. D.C. and Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York..
Her discography currently contains over forty commercially released CDs. She's the author of several music instruction books, and has received a number of grants and awards for her songwriting. Catch her regular column in the quarterly Jazz Improv Magazine.
Sue's other passion is for the martial arts---she's a longtime practitioner of Taiji Quan and Qi Gong.
