When Laura-Ashley took a trip to El Salvador with the RWU chapter of FIMRC (Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children), she had no idea what to expect. Maybe some office organization and interacting with the local community, she thought. So when the group arrived and began conducting prenatal exams, physicals on newborns and giving out flu vaccines, the junior biology and chemistry major was blown away.
"Everyone loved us because they knew we were there to help. They were so, so nice."
Laura-Ashley was also the president of the pre-med club, a member of both the chemistry club and the TriBeta Honor Society , and involved in student/faculty research, which, she says was invaluable to her educational experience at RWU. "The techniques I learned in the lab were invaluable in my classes. Often, my professors asked me to help my classmates because they knew I had experience with the different tools."
"Keep an open mind. On campus you may change groups, majors, even friends."

I heard John Banks on the radio this morning offering financial advice to the recently-embarrassed Labour leader, David Shearer.
Banks, spewing righteous vitriol over Shearer's long-lost US bank account (and why not), opined that even if there was nothing outright dodgy about the arrangement it was poor financial management on the part of the Labour leader.
Banks speculated that Shearer was paying 5.5 per cent (or thereabouts) on his NZ mortgage and earning a possible 1.5 per cent in New York on the $50,000 or so stashed there.
With such an interest rate differential Shearer, if he had any financial nous, should repatriate the US dollars to ease the mortgage pain, he suggested.
To do anything else is crazy, right?
So that's poor financial management, the announcer said, and for all I know the entire audience nodded in agreement.
But what about the currency, I wanted to shout.
As everyone, including the IMF, knows, the New Zealand dollar is over-valued. And if the NZ dollar is 15 per cent more expensive than it should be (as the man from the IMF said it was), why should Shearer buy one cent of such an over-priced commodity?
Perhaps keeping the $50,000 in the US is a smart currency hedge, waiting for the moment when the Kiwi crashes to its intrinsic value (whatever that is). Maybe when a Labour/Green coalition comes to power...
Of course, this is mere speculation. I have no idea whether Shearer (and/or his financial adviser) considered currency trends in deliberations about what to do with his 'secret' US cash stash.
But they should've.
This is general comment only. I have not taken account of Shearer's broader financial circumstances. I am not an authorised financial adviser.
And neither is John Banks.

Don't get scared of the building itself, it is old and looks a bit weird, but the flat has everyrhing you need and is nicely renovated.
Contact wirh the host was also perfect!
We had a good stay here. The only problem was that when we arrived the apartment had not been fully prepared (there were no sheets, toilet paper, or towels), but that was fixed within a couple hours. Other than that it was very good. We would stay here again.
Spacious flat, well equipped in good location close to city center, quite easy to go everywhere from there by public transport. Nice and helpful Tennant.
The appartment on Baross Utca is perfect located. The flat is in old but very nice a visit in house. The rooms are very big. You have everything that you need included. The location is good. We could reach everywhere on foot. If you want you can catch a tram, bus or metro. All the comunication stops are close to the appartment. The owner is very nice and helpfull. I reccomend it for visit in beautiful Budapest.
The apartment was great. Very basic but good value for the price. Great location, easy to get to in and around central by walking or to reach public transport. The bedroom furthest to the living room was pretty noisy at night. Would recommended.

RSV Season Continues
While the flu epidemic seems to be making the most news these days, I'm actually seeing RSV (respiratory synctial virus) causing some serious illness among my patients.
After another long day in the office with tons of wheezing and coughing and tow babies sent to the intensive care unit, I decided to take a look at the national RSV statistics. Guess what, most of the country is still in the throes of RSV season (Florida is lucky as their rates are on the decline). So I know that most of my pediatric colleagues across the country are dealing with RSV (respiratory synctial virus) and we are still several weeks away from declining viral rates and the end of the RSV season.
I am seeing many parents who are fearful of RSV because their child's day care or school have sent home notices letting them know that there are cases of RSV. I am still confused by the need to send out notices which may only scare parents.
At this time of year, RSV is virtually everywhere. RSV is a virus that occurs every fall, winter and often into early spring. It causes cold symptoms for most of us, and most of the population (both child and adult) can never name the virus that caused their terrible runny nose and cough.
By the time a child is 2 years old the majority of them (upwards of 90%) have had at least one RSV infection. Again, most parents never need to know the name of the virus that is causing their child to have that terrible cough and runny nose. It is just another bad cold!
But, with that being said there are children, especially those under the age of 2 who will have more problems with RSV. In some cases, especially in young infants, the virus will cause not only a runny nose, congestion and coughing, but wheezing as well, and in a few, respiratory distress. It is in those cases that we name that tune and test to confirm that the baby has RSV.
Our office does not routinely test every child with a cough, runny nose or even all of the kids that are wheezing to see if they have RSV. (If we did we would be testing almost every child!) We only do the test on the sickest children that end up needing to be hospitalized. The real reason behind the testing is to confirm our suspicions and to follow the epidemiology of the disease during RSV season.
The treatment of the symptoms does not really change based upon the confirmation of RSV. Other respiratory viruses such as rhinovirus and metapneumovirus are also lurking out there this winter wrecking havoc with coughs, colds and wheezing as well.
So once again, don't worry about naming the virus or rush to the doctor because your next door neighbor's child or a friend in day care has been diagnosed with RSV. Rather, pay attention to your child's symptoms and how they are breathing and handling the virus. RSV is still around will hopefully move out of the country in the next 6 weeks. But guess what, it will surely return next year too. Keep covering those coughs and washing hands!

SQL Injection into an INSERT statement.
I'm having trouble making SQL injection work with an INSERT statement and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The PHP code for the SQL request looks like this:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO txtcomment (id,comment) VALUES ('" . $_POST['id'] . "','" . $_POST['comment']. "')")
Whenever I try to insert into the comment field, it doesn't seem to work. If I attempt to insert into the ID field, it gives me the error "ERROR: Data truncated for column "id" at row 1". It does that even if I just add a ' to the id parameter. If I put a character other than a number into the ID field, I get the error "ERROR: Out of range value adjusted for column "id" at row 1".
When I attempt in the comment field, my whole query goes into the database, special characters and all. There doesn't seem to be any escaping done in the PHP code, so I can't tell why I can't get it to work.
Any obvious mistakes I'm making?

Excerpt: "Until Sunday, the last time anybody had heard fromRex Ryanabout something more significant than his distaste for the Baltimore Orioles was a month ago in a lavish ballroom at the leagues annual meeting. With the recovery from one season almost over and the stress of the next one months away, coaches are usually at their most relaxed and expansive at those gatherings.
There was a diminished quality to Ryan that morning, though, as he acknowledged being humbled by a six-victory season, being haunted by a Super Bowl prediction that he made a football lifetime ago, being stung by the parade of free agents who left this spring. Asked about a potential trade of cornerback Darrelle Revis, Ryan said that he had his own opinion of things, but that he would keep it to himself, a concession to his new place in the hierarchy so out of character that Buck Showalter must laugh.
Ryan did summon one moment of throwback bluster while discussing how he felt about being judged for a season that would be played with a roster not wholly of his choosing, perhaps without the player on whom his defense had hinged." Read more...

Oregon Judicial Department
Many of our documents are in Portable Document Format (PDF) and require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader Software.
Throughout history, people have had disputes and have needed some means to settle their disputes. As civil societies develop, they need an orderly system of conflict resolution.
One system that developed in "western" cultures is the "law court" or court of law. In England, those early law courts developed a "body of law" called the common law, which defined both the rights of the people and the government and the duties people owe each other and their government. There was no legislature yet to adopt statutes.
English settlers brought this common law with them to the American Colonies, where it developed into the American common law. Over time, state and federal constitutions and statutes have superseded much American common law. Courts continue to look to the common law for guidance if no statute defines the rights and duties in a particular case.
As in other states, courts in Oregon are both rooted in this common law tradition and governed by a state constitution and statutes that supersede the common law. Oregon's statutes are organized by subject matter in a set of books called Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS).
As in other states, Oregon law has two broad branches: civil law and criminal law, each with origins in the common law and each now governed primarily by statute.
Because Oregon does not have laws that define every private right, courts rely on the "court-made" law called "common law" to resolve some disputes.
Modern criminal law is almost all statutory. Criminal cases require courts to decide whether and how certain criminal laws apply and whether those laws as applied violate the state or federal constitution.
The legislature can change the common law by enacting a statute, so long as the governor does not veto the new law. The courts must follow that law so long as it does not conflict with the state or federal constitution. However, if no statute "governs" the issue in a particular case, the court may look to the common law rules for guidance.
When an appellate court must interpret statutory or common law in order to decide a case, the court's decision becomes "precedent" for deciding future cases with similar issues.
Although courts usually "follow precedent," courts may modify the earlier common law rules in some circumstances.
The legislature enacts other statutes that affect courts as well. The legislature determines the budget for the state courts and defines the amounts they charge for filing fees and other court fees. The legislature also defines how state courts collect fines and distribute the money collected.
Courts in Oregon
Within its borders, Oregon has four types of courts in the judicial branch:
Oregon also has a number of administrative boards that function like courts in areas governed by administrative agency rules as well as statutes. Examples include the Land Use Board of Appeals and the Workers' Compensation Board. These boards are not in the judicial branch; they are agencies in the executive branch of government (you will find more information on the executive branch at http://www.oregon.gov). Although these boards are not courts, they do have legal authority to hear certain disputes and make decisions about the parties' legal rights in those disputes. Parties may appeal from those decisions to the state appellate courts.
Municipal, county, and justice courts are "local" courts outside the state-funded court system. Their jurisdiction is limited to violations, lesser crimes, and some other less serious cases. The Oregon Judicial Department, which is the state court system, has no administrative control over those local courts. Here are links to information in the Oregon Bluebook on
Oregon State Courts
Oregon state courts include the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Tax Court, and 36 circuit courts in 27 judicial districts. These state courts are part of the Oregon Judicial Department. Here is a chart on the Oregon Judicial Department's Court Jurisdiction Structure.
The Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court is the administrative head and chief executive officer of the Oregon Judicial Department. The Chief Justice supervises the state court system, makes rules and issues orders to carry out the duties of the office, appoints the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals and the presiding judges of the state trial courts, adopts rules that establish procedures for all state courts, and supervises the statewide fiscal plan and budget for all state courts.
The State Court Administrator is the Judicial Department's chief operating officer and assists the Chief Justice in administering and supervising the state courts through the various divisions of the Office of the State Court Administrator. Each division has a page on this site that lists the division's major responsibilities and contact information. Here is a graphic organization chart (PDF) showing the divisions but not the division responsibilities or contact information.
State court judges must be United States citizens, Oregon residents for at least three years, and lawyers admitted to practice in Oregon. They serve six-year terms and run for nonpartisan election. When a state court judge retires, resigns, or dies before completing a term, the Governor may appoint another qualified person to the position. To keep that position, the appointed person must run for election for a full six-year term at the next general election.
Oregon State Trial Courts
Oregon has two types of state trial courts:
Up until January 1998, Oregon had a third state trial court called the district court, which had limited jurisdiction over smaller civil cases and lesser crimes. On January 15, 1998, the district courts merged into the circuit courts.
Circuit judges are elected within the judicial district in which they serve. The Tax Court judge is elected in a statewide election.
The Supreme Court may appoint any elected judge or eligible person to serve as judge pro tempore, or temporary judge, of the Oregon Tax Court or any circuit court. To be eligible, a person must be a resident of Oregon and have been a member in good standing of the Oregon State Bar for least three years before the appointment. Judges pro tempore stretch the Judicial Department's limited resources and cover cases where the regular judge is unavailable (for example, is ill) or may have a conflict of interest and must avoid participating in the case.
Circuit Courts
Each of Oregon's 36 counties has a circuit court. In most counties, the court has its offices in the county courthouse. In a few counties, the court has offices and courtrooms in more than one location.
The state is divided into 27 judicial districts, each of which has one or more counties. State law determines the number of judges elected in each district, generally based on population and volume of cases. Because some Oregon counties have relatively small populations and caseloads, the legislature has combined them into multicounty judicial districts.
As of January 2007, Oregon has 173 circuit judge positions.
In each judicial district, the Chief Justice appoints a presiding judge. The presiding judge has general administrative authority and supervision over the district to apportion the workload, make rules, and issue administrative orders. Each district also has a professional trial court administrator to help the presiding judge manage the court's operations and local budget. Several multicounty districts have a trial court administrator for each county.
The circuit court is Oregon's trial court of general jurisdiction. This means it hears cases regardless of the subject matter, amount of money involved, or the severity of the crime alleged. The circuit court is a "court of record," which means that an official court reporter or special audio or video recording system records every word of most cases except small claims and noncriminal offenses such as violations. The "record" is used in any appeal. Most appeals are "on the record," which means that the appellate court does not hold a new trial but relies on the record and on oral and written arguments to decide whether the trial court's decision was proper.
Among other powers, the circuit court has the power in civil cases to
In criminal cases, the circuit court:
Decisions appealed from circuit court go directly to the Court of Appeals, except for cases where the circuit court sentenced a defendant to death. Those death penalty appeals go directly to the Supreme Court.
Oregon Tax Court
In 1961, the legislature created the Tax Court to encourage uniform application of tax laws statewide. The Tax Court is a special court that has exclusive, statewide jurisdiction to hear only cases that involve Oregon's tax laws, including income taxes, corporate excise taxes, property taxes, timber taxes, cigarette taxes, local budget laws, and property tax limitations. The court is located in Salem and hears most cases there. There are no jury trials, and appeals go directly to the Supreme Court. The Tax Court has one judge.
The Oregon Tax Court has two divisions—a Regular Division and the Magistrate Division.
Magistrate Division
The Tax Court judge appoints a presiding magistrate and other magistrates to hear cases in the Magistrate Division. The Magistrate Division tries or mediates all tax appeals, unless the Tax Court judge assigns the case to the Regular Division. A party may appeal from a magistrate's decision to the judge of the Tax Court, except in cases filed as small claims. Decisions in small claims procedures are final and not appealable. Appeals from Regular Division decisions go directly to the Supreme Court.
Hearings in the Magistrate Division are often informal proceedings. The rules of evidence may not apply, and the proceedings are not "reported" or recorded. Hearings may be by telephone or in person and are held around the state. A taxpayer may be represented by a lawyer, public accountant, real estate broker, or appraiser.
The Oregon Tax Court's opinions are published in the Oregon Tax Reports, cited as "OTR."
Oregon Appellate Courts
Oregon has two state appellate courts:
Judges on each appellate court are elected to six-year terms in nonpartisan, statewide elections. They must be citizens of the United States and members of the Oregon State Bar. Each court has its offices in Salem and usually hears cases in the courtroom in the Supreme Court Building. Each court travels several times a year to law schools, universities, and high schools where the court hears oral arguments and meets with students to discuss the court's work.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals are responsible for the administration of all internal functions of their respective courts.
The State Court Administrator manages the general administrative functions of both courts through the Appellate Court Records Section. The Appellate Court Records Section processes all documents filed in cases on appeal, schedules oral arguments on those cases, distributes opinions, issues appellate judgments, and handles requests for case information.
The Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure (ORAP) govern the appeal process in both appellate courts. The Oregon Appellate Court Style Manual provides guidelines for style and citation of authorities in appellate briefs. Both documents are available from the Publications Section.
The timely filing of a notice of appeal in the appellate court transfers jurisdiction from the lower court to the appellate court. With a few exceptions, the appellate court then has sole authority to act on all motions, issue show-cause orders, set briefing schedules, strike briefs, set time of oral argument, and decide the case. The appellate court may dismiss a case at any time during the appellate process if the person who filed the appeal (appellant) fails to pursue the appeal or fails to comply with statutory requirements or the ORAP. The appellate court may also dismiss a case on appellant's motion or the respondent's motion for good cause. Here is a chart on Appeals in Oregon Courts.
Oregon Court of Appeals
The Court of Appeals, created in 1969, is the first level of appeal following trial. The court has jurisdiction to
The Court of Appeals has thirteen elected judges. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court appoints the Chief Judge from among the thirteen elected judges on the Court of Appeals.
When the Court of Appeals has a vacancy or otherwise needs another judge to help (for example, to substitute for a judge who is ill or has a conflict of interest), the Supreme Court may appoint a Supreme Court judge, a circuit judge, or a Tax Court judge to serve as judge pro tempore, or temporary judge, of the Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals has one of the heaviest caseloads of any state intermediate appellate court. To manage the heavy caseload, the court divides the judges into four panels or departments of three judges each to hear appeals. The Chief Judge is not a member of any one panel and may substitute for a member of any panel who is not available or has a conflict of interest.
Each month, the Chief Judge assigns a group of cases to each panel. For each case, the panel evaluates the trial record and the parties' written briefs and oral arguments that describe and analyze claims that the trial court erred. In some cases, the panel will agree to affirm the trial court without writing a formal opinion. In other cases, one member of the panel drafts an opinion that explains the result and the panel's reasoning. A panel member who disagrees may draft a dissenting opinion. The panel reviews the draft opinion(s) in conference with the Chief Judge before deciding whether to adopt or revise the decision and draft opinion.
Once a panel adopts an opinion, it circulates the draft opinion to all judges on the court for comment. In some cases, the full court considers the case in a "full court conference."
From the Court of Appeals, a party may petition the Supreme Court to review the case, as discussed below.
Oregon Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the Oregon judicial branch. The court has seven elected justices. They choose one of their own to serve a six-year term as Chief Justice. The only court that may reverse or modify a decision of the Oregon Supreme Court is the United States Supreme Court.
When the Supreme Court has a vacancy or otherwise needs another judge to help (for example, to substitute for a judge who is ill or has a conflict of interest), it may appoint a qualified retired member of the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals judge, a circuit judge, or a Tax Court judge to serve as judge pro tempore, or temporary judge.
The Supreme Court has "discretionary review" of cases from the Court of Appeals. A party who is dissatisfied with the Court of Appeals' decision may petition the Supreme Court to review that decision. The Supreme Court can choose to accept or deny the petition.
In some cases, the Supreme Court has "direct review," which means that the case goes directly to the Supreme Court without first being considered by the Court of Appeals.
The Supreme Court has jurisdiction over the following matters.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The tool on the cover of Flash Hacks is a spotlight. The modern spotlight descends from an invention at the beginning of the nineteenth century by British army officer Thomas Drummond. Drummond produced "limelight" by burning a cylinder of calcium oxide (lime) in an oxyhydrogen flame. As the lime was oxidized by the flame, it produced a brilliant light that could be directed into a beam by a glass lens. Although its original use was to make survey stations more visible at night, limelight quickly became a part of stage lighting; its first appearances were in the Paris opera houses, and it was used widely throughout Europe and the United States until the 1890s.The etymology of the expression "in the limelight"--being at the center of attention--comes from this beam of light, which was used to direct the audience's attention to an important person or event on stage.As technology improved, limelight became less popular as a means to light theatres because it produced intense heat, started fires, emitted a noxious gas-like odor, and cast a greenish tint. Its brief successor was the carbon arc lamp, which was quickly replaced in the 1920s by the newer and safer incandescent spotlight that used a modern 1000-watt lamp. Of course, that lamp was possible because Thomas Edison continued to make advances in electrical technology that led, in 1911, to the introduction of the "concentrated filament" lamp designed for use in a lens hood. Thus, the modern spotlight was born. Marlowe Shaeffer was the production editor and proofreader for Flash Hacks. Norma Emory was the copyeditor. Reg Aubry and Darren Kelly provided quality control.

Not too detailed, but good!

Comments about oreilly Flash Hacks:
The book has a lot of interesting tricks, some of them are very easy and others have a lot of complex and advanced actionScript. It's very balanced in this way.It is very detailed when it comes to follow the steps operating the program features, It seems to be explained for newbies. And this fact leads to a great contradiction, even though It explains every step of the "practical" way (for example, "To import an image go to Archive> import> import to Library" ), It never explains the codes in this way. You have a complex actionScript line and the book only tells you what it does, but It never teaches you how to use It, how to construct it, what the actionScript elements are for, etc etc etc.If you want to think over the code to learn how to write and create your own material you need another book because It won't teach you how to understand actionScript. Maybe that's not the purpouse of this book, but I found annoying that It explains the short cuts that are easy to find anywere and It doesn't do the same with the coding part, and I think that's a big shame. I don't know what you want to achieve, but I don't want to copy/paste another people's code that when nothing works you can't fix cause you don't really understand half of it, I need to know about sintaxis, about what setInterval (); is used for and why it's being used in the example in particularly. If you don't want that, buy It because the book is good.

Great Book for a number of reasons...
By kcnewmedia
Flash Hacks from O'Reilly is a great book that every Flash Designer or Developer should have in their library. The "get-to-the-point" style of the Hacks series is also very useful when you have a deadline fast approaching. There are 100 "hacks" in this book that, for the most part, are projects that can be used in your everyday Flash development.First the bad news:BWhile this book is full of great project that touch the surface of most problems, I found that the book could have used more in-depth examples. I also wanted a full chapter on Flash Components, which was not really covered at all. Flash is now the goto format for Rich Internet Applications because of the player market penetration, and with the need to regularly utilize components, it would have been nice to seem more information on the subject.Now for the good news:I choose this book mainly for the Sound and Browser Integration chapters, but I was pleasantly suprised to find more than a handful of topics that helped me develop better applications. I especially liked the chapter on Optimization along with the Color Effects chapter. Both of these chapters provided tid-bits of information that were directly related to a few projects I was working on.Conclusion:While there is room for improvement, I would highly recommend this book, or the next version that I assume will be coming out shortly. For the begining and intermediate Flash Developer, the hacks in this book will help you build better user experiences for your clients.Book Rating: 8.5 / 10
Flash Hacks - wealth of information
By Elliot Geno
If you are like me and have a good solid base in the understanding of Flash actionscript. You often find yourself looking for books that go above and beyond basic training manuals.This book is a refreshing look at what you can do with Flash and how to integate it with other forms of media. It opens your mind to new possibilities and gets your creative juices flowing. Best of all it reads like a novel - which is important, because sometimes training manuals can be a bit oppressive.Very impressive!Thank you Sham Bhangal! By the way, please make a Flash Hacks II. PLEASE!
Excellent resource!
By Anonymous
Sham Bhangal is undoutedly the most generous writer in the web development/design realm. I've been reading his books for awhile, but his Flash Hacks rises to the top. His style is irreverent, yet immensely helpful, and his code is rock-solid. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!
Highly reccomended!
By EYEeffex Media
Flash Hacks was a very pleasant surprise. I have been aware of Sham's work for quite some time now, and purchased this book on impulse at the local book store. I was not dissapointed! It is full of excellent tips- most of which I have never seen anywhere else!! Kudos to Sham, and a guarantee that his future books will be rated as "must gets"!

In a world in which 71 journalists were killed on the job last year, the expulsion of one ink-stained wretch by Russia may seem a small matter. But the sustained effort of Vladimir Putin's Kremlin to control what is written, said or thought about the regime is a revealing moment in a broad struggle for power in a rapidly changing world.
What would Marlise Munoz have made of all of this?
It's called the Garden State and in earlier days was known for the many vegetable farms in its rural central and southern counties. But New Jersey's reputation beyond its borders more often casts it now as a rough-edged place where the natives "tawk" funny and say they come from "Joisey," (except, of course, around Princeton).
In any complex system, from the human body to the automobile, one malfunctioning part can strain the entire mechanism. The same is true of our out-of-alignment government.
A dysfunctional Congress corrodes the rest of the constitutional architecture. It imposes a burden on other branches to pick up the policymaking slack, and threatens to shift excessive authority outside the legislature.
Even with no real scandal and only one demonstrable policy blunder, the health-care rollout, President Barack Obama had a miserable 2013 as his public standing plummeted. History suggests it is tough for a second- term president to rebound. Here are five ways Obama could defy those odds.

Susan Stamper Brown, FloydReports.com
During a recent speech at the American Constitution Society (ACS), United States Attorney General Eric Holder lauded our American civilian court system as "our most effective terror-fighting weapon." Holder's address, along with his whole attorney general career, reflects a flawed ideology that believes wrapping enemy combatants in the American flag will somehow steer them towards full disclosure.
We are fooling ourselves to believe our enemies aren't smart enough to use habeas corpus against us — which the Constitution does not extend to non-citizens held outside U.S. boundaries. While the good cop routine might work on some of the more impressionable, the determined fanatics will take advantage of the situation. Sometimes you need a "Jack Bauer" to intervene to make these people sweat.
Holder's implied moral high ground originates from the assumption that captured enemy combatants will be mistreated – unless they are blanketed by the security of our Constitution. Holder fails to recognize that our military is bound by the same Constitution, as well as the Geneva Convention.
The last time I checked, those who strayed away from their obligations to constitutional rule of law were duly convicted of crimes. Their actions, along with those of Attorney General Holder, do nothing but undermine the efforts of so many charged with keeping the rest of us safe from the criminals they imprison.
A lack of confidence in the military tribunal system seems to pervade the Justice Department under Holder as service members assigned to Guantanamo Bay do their duty honorably and faithfully, every day.
Case in point is the recent indictment of….

The Sk8-Hi Slim is part of a new line that re-imagines Vans skate shoe classics, and slims down the profile for a more feminine look.

Having worn nothing but Vans since 1982, I was very excited to finally discover these (I last bought a pair of Vans hi-tops in 1985, which I still have). In spite of the fact that they are being marketed as a re-imagined, more feminine design, I immediately ordered a pair. But now upon closer inspection, I'm not at all satisfied with these. I could easily live with the fact that the "re-imagined" ankle support is almost an inch lower than the originals (also equating to one less shoestring hole), and I could easily replace the spaghetti shoestrings, but the micro waffle tread is an absolute deal breaker. I'm extremely disappointed that Vans simply refuses to acknowledge and offer one of their most legendary classic shoes in its correct form, except when releasing special editions like the Bones Brigade or Haro versions. It's obvious they want to push the second generation Sk8-hi, with its wider leather for ollies, because they are undoubtedly more durable for skating. But aesthetically speaking, the current iteration of the Sk8-hi looks heavy and chunky, cutting off the most defining aspect of the "jazz stripe." Why Vans can't offer the "slim" version as the original classic (with the correct waffle tread, ankle height, and shoestrings) and the beefier Sk8-hi as the re-designed classic that it is for skating is beyond me. I can't imagine there would ever be an instance where a girl would balk at buying a pair of "slim" hi-tops because they have traditional waffle tread soles, but I know plenty of guys besides myself that would absolutely balk at buying a pair because they have micro waffle tread soles. This makes zero marketing sense to me, and I work in marketing. Make this legendary shoe design in its true original form, which the Sk8-hi slim really only misses by the waffle tread, and I'll buy multiple pairs at a time. But until then, they're going back and I'm not buying another pair.

love supporting Vans because they support their athletes better than most. getting back to my roots, stoked to support Vans. only complaint about the entire process and product is that they could really offer better arch support. having only had them a few weeks, otherwise so far so good. thx Vans!

I had been debating on getting this pair of shoes for months. I finally decided to get them, and I couldn't be happier. I wear them with everything! I would definitely recommend them. I'll probably end up getting another pair in a few months!

Myers. I agree with gmen0820 that Wilson and Brown are handcuffs, but I have Wilson as Brown's handcuff. I think Brown will give you the high yards per carry and he will get the goal line carries. They will split carries overall. In the end I would stay away from our running game.
In general I stay away from Giants as I am prone to make emotional decisions based on fan bias rather than cold logic. JPP is a good pick up at DE. If you can get Cruz he's worth his weight in the 2nd - 3rd round. Nicks is a high risk pick because of his injuries.
You want a dark horse. Eli at QB.

Paperwork piles up in local sheriff's office
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - There's a problem in Sullivan County that may never go away because it is always getting worse.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office says they receive an average of 1,803 pieces of process a month. That includes court summons, arrest warrants, demands for child support and alimony, among others.
Through August, the total number of process received for 2013 is a staggering 14,419.
The deputies in Sullivan County are doing all they can to keep up with the growing stack of paperwork. "We have seven officers that are assigned full-time to work on that load. We are going to fall behind, but we are doing the best we can with the resources we have available," said Lt. Kyle Carter.
Thanks to men like Deputy Terry Robinson, who spends his shift knocking on doors serving papers, the SCSO manages to not get swamped, but deputies face some unique challenges. "A lot of time we've got to track them down," said Robinson.
Many warrants and other process do not show a current address for the person named. News 5 even saw a warrant that listed the address as "the streets of Kingsport."
But even with vague addresses and people who don't want to be found, the SCSO clears on average 67 percent of process that comes in a month.
The only way to get 100 percent is with addition. "The only way you're going to resolve it is to throw manpower hours at it," said Carter.
We checked with the Bristol, Virginia police department and found out they have the same problem as Sullivan County, but deal with fewer numbers, about 300 warrants and other papers at any one time.
"It's a manpower thing in the end, because there's not enough people to dedicate to this," said Sergeant Steve Crawford.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of any of those people, call the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office at 423-279-7500

You can, however, check out this replacement pack that I've also used, from WoWInterface - MiirGUI Texture Pack. It's pretty slick as well, and currently IS updated for Cataclysm.
does anyone know a working replacement for drdamge? It doesn't need to have all the features, just basic dps/dpm and hps/hpm.
Its a great addon and its a shame it isn't updated for MoP
I'm trying to find a nameplate addon which shows the exact amount of health both you and your target have. Right now, I am using ElvUI and it's very...minimal when it comes to showing this. I don't know why it irks me but it just doesn't seem right to have such squished in figures...
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Does anyone know why Prat will not include RealID/BattleTag names for auto-complete? It's very annoying and I can't seem to find anything on Google on how to fix it.
With Prat off I can autocomplete BattleTag/RealID names fine.
Heya there,
I didn't mod my interface for quite some time now, at least not like I used to and need a little information.
Is there an alternative mod to the old kg_panels one for graphics?
Already worked on some graphics I'd like to use as kind of borders,
kg_panels would be the only mod to my knowledge being capable of using graphics like that.

Hi all wondering if someone could help me, I am looking to add some nodes for places of interest in gathermate2treasuredata..lua i know it works by code like
[721] =
[2860243000] = 506,
[3380232000] = 506,
[2860245000] = 509,
Where as its cords in the [ ] but the = 506 ? and [721] how do i know what that is and such ? if i wanted to add my own what do i need to know apart from the cords i already have.
Thanks any help would be great.
Looking for an addon that checks all our cooking mats in our bags and tells us which ones we can make into bundles (providing we have enough mats).
I'm looking for an addon very much like the one called ExtraCD (since this one doesnt work anymore) - an addon showing internal cooldowns so i can use my own cooldowns accordingly. (I use forte xorcist, but i rather not again.. i kind of hate it)
Hello guys! do anyone of you know what kind of raidframe addon this guys is using? im not allowed to post links or anything, so i can only tell you that the video im talking about is "Odyssey vs Gara'Jal the Spiritbinder 10 man" on warcraftmovies.
i've been using grid for many years now, but i like how that one works, maybe it is grid with some kind of changes, i dunno, but it would be awesome if anyone can tell me.
Was using a bag addon a while back, it organized everything into one window like bagnon but it had functions like sorting items by rarity.
I'm not convinced this is a standalone addon however, I think I may have been part of a UI pack I used once (I've used almost every one of the more popular ones, so I couldn't narrow it down if I tried).
I don't think i'm going crazy.
If you spend your entire life getting senpai to notice you, you'll never notice anyone else.
I am looking for an addon that enhances the capabilities of the quest tracker, in such a way that I am able to toggle the tracking of quests on/off by zone by interacting with the zone header in the quest log. Some sort of automation to this based on zone change would be handy too. I'm primarily interested in the first function however, and was able to find some outdated/v0.1 type addons but none that I found were functioning. Any suggestions for this type of addon? If not, I might just make it myself. Thanks for your time.

Newton FaulknerView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Sam Newton Battenberg Faulkner was born in Surrey on the 11th of January 1985 and attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, studying the guitar and graduating at the age of 17. He played bass guitar in a Green Day cover band and, before going solo under the fuller name of Newton Battenburg Faulkner, he formed the funk-rock band Half a Guy with Matt Buchanan, Dave Elvy, and Nicola Crawshaw. The band released a live self-titled EP with no success and, rather than play angry metal music in church halls like everyone else, they decided to attempt uplifting happy sounds -- but playing guitar, singing, writing the songs, and arranging the gigs eventually took its toll and led to him making a break on his own. His first solo gigs were at the London Troubadour club and led to a publishing deal for his original songs with Peermusic UK and appearances at the South by Southwest music festival. Faulkner secured a recording deal with BMG Records and released a second EP, U.F.O., featuring solo material, and he appeared to have found his niche with the rise of such recording artists as Jack Johnson, James Morrison, and Paolo Nutini. He appeared twice at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2007, both on the acoustic stage on the Friday and on the Left Field stage on Sunday. Faulkner's debut album, Hand Built by Robots, was released in July 2007 and, after entering the charts at number three, climbed to the top during September. Second release Rebuilt by Humans arrived in 2009 and follows Faulkner's laid back, acoustic sound that gained him many plaudits and a solid fanbase. It was three years until he released his third record Write it On Your Skin in 2012 which became his second UK number one. Moving away from the theme of his previous two full-length releases, he wrote this album to be played live, with a positive, upbeat feel. Faulkner worked with many contributors on this release, including BBC Fame Academy winner David Sneddon and production partner James Bauer-Mein who make up The Nexus (Lana Del Rey, Matt Cardle, Hurts) and bass guitarist Sam Farrar (Phantom Planet). ~ Sharon Mawer

Reviews of this property
Our family (2 adults. And 3 kids) we spent 5 nights in the apartment that is walking distance from the center of La Maddalena. Via email and SMS we thesame with Lia. She did it quickly and accurately. Our review about the apartment: Pros:-clean-parking easily accessible on foot for the door center Cons:-hard mattresses (old?) Vide room is warm because it is difficult to ventilate is-there is a small indoor balcony that offers no possibility of there with more than two people to sit, especially if you feel you are all a great apartment that is better suited for our maxximaal for 3 days (transit). clotheshorse it there Regards, Guido Bastiaans
Met ons gezin (2 volw. en 3 kids) hebben we 5 nachten doorgebracht in het appartement dat op loopafstand van het centrum van la maddalena ligt.
Via mail en sms hebben we gecommuniceert met Lia. Dat deed zij zij snel en accuraat. Onze beoordeling over het appartement is:
-parkeren voor de deur
-centrum makkelijk bereikbaar te voet
-harde matrassen (oud?)
-vide kamer is warm doordat het moeilijk te ventileren is
-er is een klein inpandig balkon die geen mogelijkheid biedt om er met meer dan 2 mensen te zitten, zeker waneer je het wasrek er hebt staan
Al met al een prima appartement die voor ons beter geschikt is voor maxximaal 3
dagen (doorreis).
Guido Bastiaans
Everything was fine: easy contact with Lia, a nice flat and a fantastic island.
We had great holidays!
The features of the correspond exactly to the description. We stayed 3 nights and we were very pleased. Lia has always been very friendly and helpful (advice on restaurants, ferries, etc..), Even if we have not met personally we were able to coordinate by email and phone and everything went perfectly. Absolutely recommendable.
Le caratteristiche dell'appartamento corrispondono esattamente alla descrizione. Siamo stati 3 notti e ci siamo trovati molto bene. Lia è sempre stata molto gentile e disponibile (consigli su ristoranti, traghetti, etc.); anche se non ci siamo incontrati personalmente siamo riusciti a coordinarci per email e telefono ed è andato tutto perfettamente. Assolutamente raccomandabile.
Die Wohnung ist schön kühl und bietet viel Platz. Lia und auch die Bewohner des Hauses waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Nicht weit weg ist ein sehr guter Bäcker, der später auch Pizza und andere Gerichte anbietet. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit auf La Maddalena - auch ohne Auto und nur mit dem Bus :)
Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a great time in Rome, the location of the apartment is really amazing. The apartment is not big, but fully equipped. If you don't mind climbing some stairs we would recommend. We would definitely stay here again.
The studio is located in a very central, but nevertheless very calm intersection street. Most of Rome's attractions are reachable by foot, many of them just around the corner. The apartment is quite small, but clean and modern equipped. View from the Roof is really amazing. Restaurants and food stores nearby.
Lia is very kind, reliable, helpful, reachable and answering at very short notice. Communication with her - even if is is just via email, phone or text - is very easy and agreeable.
To put it into a nutshell: tutto a posto!
Perfect location and great communication with Lia. The apartment is not suitable for all. It is at the fifth floor and quite a few stairs need to be taken and apartment is the size of a large hotelroom. All that you need is there and it is clean. As I mentioned before, the location can hardly be any better.
The studio is so cozy and charmant! And it has everything for your needs there, even an espressomaker :) From the beginning we felt like home, the view over to the Pantheon is so beautiful in the evening. The location from the studio is perfect, you can go everywhere by foot. And when we had problems Lia was always there to help. Thank you Lia! :) We sure come back.
We liked our stay in this studio very much.The studio is small (we were with 3 persons),but it has all we needed. Also it was clean and it has a great location(view). Although we couldn't speak to Lia personally, she gave us a lot of usefull information and if we had a question she responded immediatly.
If you have no problem climbing the stairs to the 5th floor (our legs are much stronger now), we can highly recommend this appartment!

Last Day in Peru
Trip Start Mar 08, 2005
19Trip End Mar 29, 2005
The flight was a hell of a lot better than any bus ride we took. Of course, my Peruvian travel is cursed and the only two kids on the plane were sitting directly behind me. For those of you who don't know this, I'm not a big fan of children. Particularly those who have the audacity to do things like talk and make noise. These kids did that with a nice, high-pitched, nasally whine. And the little girl behind me kept kicking my seat. So I turned and stared at the mother with a vicious look until she whispered to the children that their lives may be in danger. I did a mental measurement to see if either of them would fit in an overhead compartment. I decided to just try to ignore them.
So we landed in Lima and tried to figure out what to do with our 14 hour layover. Our flight didn't leave until 2:00 tuesday morning. We didn't want to have to hit the ATM again just to take a cab into the city. But Peru has a departure tax of $30 we didn't know about so we had to take out money anyway. So Bev and I decided to head over to Miraflores, which is that posh part of Lima we hung out in for my birthday. We spent the day sitting on the beach, having a drink in a restaurant that had a cover charge, and walking the city streets. Then we had an awesome dinner at a place overlooking the ocean. Bev's treat. It was a great way to spend our final day in Peru. Much better than sitting around the airport.
We made it back to the airport and checked into our flight at 9:30 or so. This was it. Nothing had gone wrong and we were going to make our flight back to the states. With all our earlier transportation woes I wasn't entirely sure things would work out. But, we're charmed people, and everything was fine. We were all set to head back to Texas.

an act or acts that defines one as a douchebag for life can be described as doucherific. If there are three acts, it can be said to be a doucherific trifecta. Phrase coined by writer Pete Kotz.
Ballenger was charged with battery and sexual battery. He apparently didn't learn from the beatdown, since he was further charged with assaulting an officer, threatening an officer, and threatening an officer's family, a doucherific trifecta.

Knowing how much work your group can accomplish—and how much it takes to complete that work—is critical to your success as a manager. Johanna Rothman explains how to ascertain your team's potential and how to use that information to define and manage your project portfolio so it doesn't manage you.
I meet many managers in the course of my work, and they all share a common complaint: They have too much work to do. I ask how they know there's too much work to do, and they look at me as if I've sprouted another head or two. "My staff and I are spread too thin—that's how I know," they answer.
I ask if more people would help. "Of course," they answer. While they look at me as if I'm an idiot, I ask the question that too few managers can answer right then and there, "How many more people would you need, and for how long?"
I have sympathy for those of you trying to work in organizations with too few people and too many projects. So, I recommend you develop an answer to the "how many people" question. Once you have the answer to that question, you can then deal with the trade-off question with your managers, "If I take on this new project, which work would you like me to stop?"
Define the Universe of Work
I develop and manage a project portfolio by first defining all the work (the "universe of work"), organizing the work by seeing when each person starts and stops each project or piece of the project, and by listing the unstaffed work. It's not easy to define all the work, so I make sure I include these activities when defining the work:
- Project work (work toward a specific project with an end date)
- Periodic work (such as monthly reports or yearly budgets)
- In-process ad hoc work (work you are doing as the result of crises or other surprises)
- Ongoing work (support for the operation of an organization or department)
- Management work
Organizing the work this way ensures all your project work is included in the Universe of Work—plus all the work you or your staff performs to maintain the lab, support a product, negotiate with another department, or to budget. When I discuss this with managers who are in charge of five to six people, it's not uncommon for them to list more than thirty activities. If you're in a larger group, you may have more than thirty separate activities.
Take time to define your Universe of Work. I normally set aside one half-hour to write everything down. Once I have a first draft, I put my list away for a day. Afterward, I revisit it to see if I want to add anything. But don't feel as if you need to complete your Universe of Work list with just one review; it's easy to forget the periodic work or intermittent ad hoc work. If you're so busy you don't have time to think, you may want to take a little time every day to review your list and add to it.
Organize the Work
Once you know what all the work is, you can make a plan of how you and your team will complete the work. I like to use a whiteboard or flipcharts for this, especially if I have more than a few people in my group. The top row of the paper lists your timetable, which begins with next week followed by consecutive weeks (January 1, January 8, January 15, and so on). Write the names of the people down the left most column. For each week, write down what each person is working on.
If you have many long projects, write the names of the months across the top of the page. Block out the projects, with their start and end dates down the page. Then take a one-month snapshot and fill in the blanks by person. Now you have a list of what everyone is working on—and when—for the next month. And I'll bet there's more work from your Universe of Work list. List that work on the "unstaffed" list.

The Red-bellied Black Snake, Pseudechis porphyiacus, is a shiny blue-black snake, usually with pink colouring on the lower rows of scales. It has 17 rows of mid-body scales, a divided anal scale and 40–65 subcaudal scales, with single anterior and divided posterior scales. It is a large snake: adults can reach over 2 m.

It is widespread in eastern Victoria; north of the Dividing Range it is often associated with water courses. It is also relatively common in Melbourne's east and has been recorded around Bacchus Marsh, Park Orchards, Bayswater, along the Plenty River in the South Morang area and around the Merri Creek in the Campbellfield to Somerton area.
This snake is active both day and night, and its diet consists primarily of frogs. Females can produce in excess of 16 live young.
Although the venom is not as potent as that of other venomous land snakes, this species is still dangerous. If bitten on a limb, apply a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb and seek medical advice immediately. If bitten elsewhere, apply continuous direct pressure to the bite site. Do not wash the wound, as the venom on the skin can be used to identify the appropriate antivenom.

Hi Michelle,
The Curator of Herpetology would need to see an image of the specimen to be able to undertake an identification. The snake you saw might have been a juvenile and so an image is needed to be confident in providing a species name. If you have an image please feel free to send it to email@example.com Alternately this link is to the Museum's Bioinformatics website and has images of all snake species found inVictoria.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
