Hi All,
(I did a search and found only a few old threads on spring mite treatments.)
My situation: I bought 4 nucs last spring. These are the first hives I have had in 30 years. The hives are in my backyard here in Denver, and sit in full sun all day. My hives struggled all season, didn't build much comb, populations didn't grow much, didn't produce much honey, and went into winter with about 3-4 deep frames of bees each and minimal stores. I did not not harvest any honey from any of the hives.
I occasionally checked for mites during the season using a sticky board. I did see mites, but not at a level that would be considered to be an extreme threat to the hive. I treated with each hive with Apiguard according to the directions in the fall, and saw increased mite drops, but not what I would call huge numbers of dead mites. In other words, my hives do have mites, but not in debilitating out-of-control numbers.
I put each hive to bed for the winter wrapped in a Bee Cozy and with the Mountain Camp method of winter feeding/moisture absorption. At this point in the winter (the first day of February), I have lost one hive. There is good activity on the remaining three hives on warm days to make me think that they will probably make it to spring.
So far, we have had a dry winter with lower-than-average snowpack in the mountains. Since snowpack forms a large percentage of our water during spring/summer/fall, I believe we are unfortunately likely to endure another drought year, which means my already weak hives will probably struggle again this year to build comb, to build up population, and to collect much honey.
At this point under these circumstances, I am not expecting to harvest any honey this year, I just want my hives to build up to a healthy population and collect enough honey to get through the next winter without any feeding.
Considering how weak my hives are plus the expected drought conditions, I think it is especially critical that I get my hives off to the best start possible this spring. I already plan to start feeding pollen substitute and sugar syrup as soon as appropriate. To get the best possible start this season, I am wondering if a spring treatment for mites might be good to knock down whatever mite numbers I might have at the beginning of the bee (and mite) population spring build-up. My thinking is if I can reduce the mite population at the beginning of spring, the bees will benefit from fewer mites all season long. Sort'a like getting ahead of the curve on mite numbers.
Are spring mite treatments ever advised? Are there any spring mite treatment that have generally given good results? Any other suggestions on how to help my struggling hives.

Clerk and Recorder's Office adjusts policies to help Black Forest Fire victims
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder's Office is temporarily changing some policies for those who have lost or had to evacuate their home. "We are waiving fees for those who lost vital documents in the fire. If you're worried about replacing your home, you shouldn't have to worry about paying fees to replace documents like your marriage license and vehicle titles," Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams said in a news release.
Victims of the Black Forest Fire will find the following changes in the Clerk and Recorder's Office:
Recording Department
- No fees will be charged for replacement of copies of marriage licenses, deeds, or any other applicable documents for fire victims. This change will be in effect through Aug. 31, 2013.
Motor Vehicle
- No fees will be charged for replacement copies of driver's licenses, vehicle registration, titles, duplicate tags, or any other applicable documents for fire victims. This change will be in effect through Aug. 31, 2013.
- If a vehicle's registration lapsed in May, the "grace period" for avoiding the late fee will extend from June 30 to July 15. This change will be in effect for all those in any evacuation zone, regardless of whether their home was damaged or destroyed.
- If a vehicle registration fee was paid between May 12 and June 12 and the vehicle was destroyed by the fire, the owner can get a full refund of their vehicle registration fee through July 15, 2013.
- If a vehicle was destroyed by the fire but was registered before May 12, the owner may get the amount paid for their registration credited towards the registration fees of a replacement vehicle.
Clerk to the Board/Liquor Licenses
- Liquor-licensed businesses affected by the fire can call 719-520-6430 for information.
Those who experienced a home loss should expect a letter from the Elections Department regarding their voter registration options in advance of the November 2013 Coordinated Election.
Fire victims can call 719-520-7322 if they have any questions or concerns they need to relay to the Clerk and Recorder's Office.

The way I see it is Williams is the fourth football coach and/or head football coach at Redemptorist High School since May 2012. Coach Vice left with the Principal Sanders, Athletic Director, basketball, volleyball, baseball coaches, Alumni Director and every other teacher but a handful that stayed under new headmaster Menard and Dr Mel Verges. Coach LaBorde and Coach Roane both were hired and left within the next six months. Redemptorist Schools of Baton Rouge received 143 voucher students for 2012-2013 school year, estimated about a million dollars of voucher state gravy train money. Even with this large number of voucher students enrolled with Redemptorist for the first time, the enrollment in November 2012 was listed as 228 students total, causing Redemptorist to be reclassified down to a1-A school, even though they chose to opt up to play 2A the next two school years. The future of Redemptorist High school has a hard task ahead of them under the leadership of Menard/Verges and will be almost impossible since the state voucher program was deemed unconstitutional last month for future voucher students / money under the current funding program. If the Catholic Diocese School Diocese Office under Melanie Verges supported the voucher program whole heartedly, why is it that Catholic High has zero voucher students, St Joseph's Academy has zero voucher students, and St Michaels High only has 1 or 2 voucher children maximum? I don't believe, and neither do the other 50 plus families that removed their children from RHS this school year after the last administration left, that good strategic planning has occurred on the part of Menard/Verges. Having said all this, I sincerely wish both the new football coach and new principal the best of luck, and pray that they can bring Redemptorist back to where it was under Principals Fabre and Sanders.

I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
Don't get me wrong - I really do believe MLK was a great man. He believed in the same rights for every one and believed people should be judged by the content of their character, just like most of us. He would also be spinning in his grave if he saw the attitudes of some of the young blacks today. I believe MLK was more like Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams deep inside. With that said - yesterday I heard a guy ask, Why does anyone need an AR 15. The other guy answered. Why did Rosa Parks need to sit in the front of the bus??? Because it is a constitutional right! One of the best answers I've ever heard!
Im going to the range
Sprat and sprat1 are one and the same.
Yes I agree that he would not like what he would see today. I think he made a big difference in the way we look at each other, and how we could have gotten along better.
But all his work seems to have been in vain because of the new "Racial Equalizers" you know , Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, and on and on... And of course the "Great Divider", Barack Obama. I wish he could come back and kick ass on these jackasses.

Read this article, you might find that you really didn't know how Martin Luther King Jr really felt about guns and gun ownership.
Adam Winkler.
Professor of Law, UCLA
Posted: January 18, 2011 08:25 AM
MLK and His Guns
One issue on everyone's mind this Martin Luther King Jr. day was gun control. King's calls for resolving our differences through peaceful nonviolence are especially poignant after Jared Loughner gunned down six people and wounded several others in Tucson. Amid the clamor for new gun laws, its appropriate to remember King's complicated history with guns.
Most people think King would be the last person to own a gun. Yet in the mid-1950s, as the civil rights movement heated up, King kept firearms for self-protection. In fact, he even applied for a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
A recipient of constant death threats, King had armed supporters take turns guarding his home and family. He had good reason to fear that the Klan in Alabama was targeting him for assassination.
William Worthy, a journalist who covered the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, reported that once, during a visit to King's parsonage, he went to sit down on an armchair in the living room and, to his surprise, almost sat on a loaded gun. Glenn Smiley, an adviser to King, described King's home as "an arsenal."
As I found researching my new book, Gunfight, in 1956, after King's house was bombed, King applied for a concealed carry permit in Alabama. The local police had discretion to determine who was a suitable person to carry firearms. King, a clergyman whose life was threatened daily, surely met the requirements of the law, but he was rejected nevertheless. At the time, the police used any wiggle room in the law to discriminate against African Americans.
Ironically, the concealed carry permit law in Alabama was promoted by the National Rifle Association thirty years earlier. Today, the gun rights hardliners fight to eliminate permits for concealed carry, as Arizona has done.
Eventually, King gave up any hope of armed self-defense and embraced nonviolence more completely. Others in the civil rights movement, however, embraced the gun.
One of the most indelible images of the 1960s is a photograph from Life magazine of Malcolm X looking out a window with a long M-1 carbine in his hands, the rifle pointed up to the sky. For blacks unhappy with the progress achieved by King's marches, the gun became a symbol of the "by any means necessary" philosophy.
The Black Panthers took Malcolm X's approach to the extreme, openly carrying guns as they patrolled for police abuses on the streets of Oakland. They even made guns part of their official uniform, along with the black beret and leather jacket. Every member learned about Marxism and firearms safety.
California passed a law to disarm the Panthers and then Congress, after King was assassinated by James Early Ray, passed the Gun Control Act of 1968 -- the first major federal gun control since the 1930s. These laws fueled the rise of the modern gun rights movement, which self-consciously borrowed tactics from the civil rights movement.
One lesson the gun advocates took was from the early King and his more aggressive followers: If the police can't (or won't) to protect you, a gun may be your last line of defense. Inspired by that idea, the gun lobby has grown so strong that even after the Tucson mass murder there is almost no likelihood of new gun laws being passed.
Whether a broader acceptance of the King's later pacifism would have made us safer than choosing guns, we will never know.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
Thanks for the info, Fyred up

|Re: Re: st: RE: New command in SSC: -checkfor2-
|Tue, 20 Sep 2005 10:31:48 -0400
Nick I think that will be useful (:-)). Thanks. Amadou. n j cox <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: firstname.lastname@example.com Sent by: cc: owner-statalist@hsphsun2. Subject: Re: Re: st: RE: New command in SSC: -checkfor2- harvard.edu 09/20/2005 10:20 AM Please respond to statalist -isvar- just does one of the three things that -checkfor2- does. That alone is sufficient grounds for what I said in my previous posting. It seems from your explanation of the background here that -isvar- may have some use beyond this thread. I will write a help file and send it to Kit Baum for posting on SSC when I can. Nick email@example.com >>> Amadou Diallo Well, for a long time, checkfor and its latter version checkfor2 have done a good job in achieving what I want and that was the most important for me. As long as they were doing the job, I did not find the time, nor the courage I must add, to refine them. I am working with DHS data for some months actually. The problem is that, despite the comparability of the datasets, sometimes a program which loops across datasets will crash, when a variable exists in one set and not in the other. So checkfor2 "sweeps" the data first, and them use the "available" variables to perform other tasks. But, and this is big BUT, checkfor2 is not well written enough. I guess I'll learn by doing over time. For the moment, I demand a little indulgence. Obviously, checkfor2 is not esthetical enough as other stata programs. I hope the program will improve enough to meet stata minimum standards. I am working on it. Jean-Benoit has sent me privately some thoughts about improvements and I want to aknowledge that and thank him. I will make the necessary changes and resubmit. Out of curiosity, why isvar is not a replacement for checkfor2? It is doing exactly the same thing and is cleaner. Here you can see the touch of great programmers. Remember, the first purpose of checkfor2 is to separate existing and non-existing variables. I vote for it and will be more incline in the future to use it after some minimum modifications, in place of checkfor2. Again, I want to thank you all to allow me to learn with you. Nick Cox There is no clash here. Let's back track: Amadou Diallo wants to be able to type a list of (possible) variable names and be told which are real variable names and which aren't. If Amadou were to try, for example, . sysuse auto . d mpg disp frog toad newt darwin einstein newton price Then -describe- just chokes on the first non-variable name, in this case "frog". -describe- won't tell Amadou that "toad newt darwin einstein newton" are also non-variable names. Same is true for e.g. -ds-. In my own view this is a feature, as I have never wanted what Amadou wants here, but the issue is how to write a program to deliver on that. Now in designing a program to get round this, Amadou faces what looks like Catch-22. syntax varlist is out of the question, because those non-variable names will never get past border control. At the first such, it's all up. So any program starting with -syntax varlist- will not work, insofar as the bad names other than the first just will not be displayed. Amadou worked that out, and chose syntax anything But it looks at first sight as if thereby the programmer is giving up on nice features that many users exploit all the time with varlists, such as wildcards and hyphenated lists. But with -syntax anything- you can have, well, anything as input. You just have to arrange to process it according to your precise desires. So that -anything- can be, or can include a varlist, or several varlists interspersed with other stuff: it's just that -syntax- won't treat it as such. Enough of the arm-waving. This code sketch shows one solution to that desire. I loop over the input with -foreach-, much faster than a -while- and -mac shift-. *! NJC 1.0.0 19 Sept 2005 program isvar, rclass version 8 syntax anything foreach v of local anything { capture unab V : `v' if _rc == 0 local varlist `varlist' `V' else local badlist `badlist' `v' } di if "`varlist'" != "" { local n : word count `varlist' local what = plural(`n', "variable") di as txt "{p}`what': `varlist'{p_end}" return local varlist "`varlist'" } if "`badlist'" != "" { local n : word count `badlist' local what = plural(`n', "not variable") di as txt "{p}`what': `badlist'{p_end}" return local badlist "`badlist'" } end This isn't a substitute for -checkfor2-. -checkfor2- bundles three things together, a check for good and bad variable names, a report on number of missings and summary statistics for any good variable names, so the last two things aren't touched. I couldn't find a -checkfor-, not that that matters. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

American elections researcher discusses findings at Binghamton University Forum
John McNulty, assistant professor of Political Science at Binghamton University, will discuss "Topics in Political Science Research on American Elections" on Wednesday, September 24, at the Binghamton University Forum to be held at the Binghamton Club located at 83 Front Street in downtown Binghamton.
McNulty, who teaches courses on political psychology, voting behavior and other issues dealing with voter turnout, will share his findings on American elections. McNulty will address how voters respond when election officials make it more or less convenient to get to the polls and will ask the question, are American citizens willing to make the extra effort to vote?
"The outcome of a high-turnout election is perceived as having greater legitimacy than one with low turnout because the voters are presumed to be more representative of the entire population," McNulty said.
McNulty received his Ph.D. from the University of California and has been published in the American Political Science Review, Perspectives on Politics, American Politics Quarterly, and The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. In 2004 McNulty was awarded the American Political Science Association's Political Methodology section's Harold F. Gosnell Prize for best paper presented in political methodology.
The breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. and McNulty's discussion will commence promptly at 8:00 a.m.
The Binghamton University Forum, previously the Harpur Forum, serves business, professional and community leaders by bringing nationally known authorities to speak at functions throughout the year.

Unexpectedly, AP hammers Obama administration on jobless report
posted at 12:55 pm on January 8, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
For a while, the Associated Press seemed determined to make "unexpected" and its variants the most overused term in economic reporting. Today, they give their readers an unexpected shock by dropping the forced sense of optimism normally used in giving bad economic news in their analysis of today's jobless report. Instead, Christopher Rugaber reports the obvious — that the loss of 85,000 more jobs is nothing but bad news, and that the 10.0% figure hides the rot underneath:
Lack of confidence in the economic recovery led employers to shed a more-than-expected 85,000 net jobs in December even as the unemployment rate held at 10 percent. The rate would have been higher if more people had been looking for work instead of leaving the labor force because they can't find jobs.
The sharp drop in the work force — 661,000 fewer people — showed that more of the jobless are giving up. Once people stop looking for jobs, they're no longer counted among the unemployed.
When discouraged workers and part-time workers who would prefer full-time jobs are included, the so-called "underemployment" rate in December rose to 17.3 percent, from 17.2 percent in November. That's just below a revised figure of 17.4 percent in October, the highest on records dating from 1994.
Despite the sunny spin coming from the White House, the situation got worse as the year wore on:
The participation rate in the labor force — the portion of adults either working or looking for work — fell in December to 64.6 percent, the lowest since August 1985.
The drop was particularly steep in the second half of last year. That suggested that people were becoming discouraged about their job prospects even as layoffs slowed. The reason is that job openings remain far too few.
And Rugaber supplies some historical context as well:
Friday's report caps a disastrous year for U.S. workers. Employers cut 4.2 million jobs in 2009. And the unemployment rate averaged 9.3 percent. That compares with an average of 5.8 percent in 2008 and 4.6 percent in 2007. Nearly 15.3 million people are unemployed, an increase of 3.9 million during 2009.
The reaction today from the White House suggests that they know the spin won't hold. In the earlier report, Reuters finally admitted that the rise of temp workers may not be a leading indicator of recovery, but a shift in approach by employers spooked by ObamaCare and heavier taxes and energy costs. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis also suggested that companies may be sitting on the sidelines looking for more incentives to hire — a signal that the administration has been giving for months.
Unemployment has not gotten better; it has gotten worse, and the statistics have hidden the real decline in 2009. Until now, only a few media outlets bothered to highlight the problem. The AP has finally made it clear — and that will mean a lot more attention in 2010 to the failed Porkulus legislation and the fumbled economic strategies of the Obama administration. (via Geoff A)
Update: Inn0cent Bystanders is known for producing the amended Romer charts on unemployment rates each month, but this chart is more on point. It shows the decline of jobs and the steep rate that hasn't changed at all this year:
There was a slight incline in March and another in November, but the trend is otherwise a straight line downward all year. This underscores the AP point made today.

I was excited to get this product. I used my bread machine to make the bread but it had a strong metallic taste. At first I thought my bread machine was getting old, but then all the next breads I made in the bread maker didn't have this problem. I have often used Red Mill products with no problem so perhaps I just had a bad batch I don't know, but I was disappointed.

The entry-level HTC Desire 200 gets leaked ahead of its official launch. Read on for more information on the Desire 200.
A new leak has made us aware that apart from the HTC Desire 600, One Mini and One Max, the company is also working on an entry-level Android Smartphone. Dubbed the Desire 200, this cute 3.5-inch phone packs both similar hardware and design compared to the HTC Desire C.
HTC Desire 200 leaked specifications:
- 1 GHz Single-Core CPU
- 512 MB Of RAM
- 3.5-inch HVGA (480 x 320) Display
- 4 GB Internal Storage
- Micro SD Card Slot
- 1400 mAh Battery
- HTC Beats Audio
While the leaked handset was running on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, it is highly likely that the final phone comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. However, this will go completely against the company's older statements saying that phones with 512 MB RAM won't be updated beyond Android 4.0 ICS. Let's hope that the company decided against sticking to their words.
No further word on pricing or availability as of yet.

PRESS RELEASE – GRAND FORKS, ND – October 29, 2013
The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has awarded LEED Silver certification to the Byron L. Dorgan Terminal at the Grand Forks International Airport. Designed by JLG Architects, it is one of only five international airport terminals in the United States to achieve LEED certification, and one of the first in the Midwest. As such, the Grand Forks Byron L. Dorgan Terminal will become a featured case study on the Department of Energy's website.
Even more impressively, the building is out-performing its own projections. Designed to lower energy use by 14.2% compared to other relative buildings, energy was actually reduced by 15.7%, or $14,000 a year. This was primarily made possible through the installation of a geothermal system – the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective system for temperature control – which was installed under the parking lot and uses the Earth's constant temperatures to heat and cool. Inside, a Building Management System monitors and adjusts space temperatures, and the ground floor lobby uses floor heat to keep the space warm from the ground up.
Water use at the Terminal was decreased by 43.1%, or 83,061 gallons a year, which is the equivalent of the usage by 213 homes a day for a family of four. The sinks save a gallon of water per minute, urinals save just under one gallon per minute, and the lavatories save two gallons per minute. Additionally, the landscaping includes native and adaptive plantings that rely on standard rainfall and require no permanent irrigation.
Additionally, studies have shown that superior air quality and comfortable thermal conditions can have a 41% improvement on health and a 15% increase on productivity. At the Terminal, humidity is controlled by two dedicated outdoor air systems that deliver fresh air, and temperatures are regulated to stay between 68-72 degrees for all seasons via automated controls in ten zones.
This is not the first honor bestowed upon the Terminal; it received a 2012 Merit Award for design excellence from the American Institute of Architects North Dakota Chapter.

When Bryce Harris was tossed into the fire against Oakland, he fulfilled the one Saints motto that transcends seasons and coaching changes.
He was the next man up. And he didn't blink.
Days later, the reviews of Harris' first-ever NFL snaps were positive.
"I felt like he did a very good job," Brees said. "He was very calm and comfortable, a lot more so than I felt like typically a young guy getting his first action would have been."
"I think that he has picked our stuff up extremely well," Evans said. "We have a lot of nuances in our technique and he's really on top of that stuff. He has been really on top of that stuff, has a really good grasp of the offense."
This former seventh-round draft pick has successfully held down the starting right tackle position since the retirement of Jon Stinchcomb in 2011. In 2012, the former Northwestern standout contributed to a front line that only surrendered 26 sacks, tied for the third fewest in the league, while also helping the offense finish ranked second in the NFL in net yards per game (410.9) and third in scoring (28.8 points per game). After serving as a capable reserve at both tackle positions, as a blocking tight end and on special teams for his first five seasons, Strief has been able to use his tremendous size and strength to his advantage as the starter on right side. He's played in 94 career games with 30 starts, and is expected to anchor the right side of the offensive line again in 2013. Strief is also one of the Saints' most community-minded players, involving himself in numerous charitable and educational programs and events.
Delano Roger Williams (November 9, 1945–November 30, 1984) was an American football offensive guard in the National Football League. He was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the third round of the 1967 NFL Draft. He played college football at Florida State.
Williams is a member of Florida State's All-Time Team.
Williams died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease).
De la Puente was signed to the Saints practice squad on October 15, 2010 and spent the rest of the season there. In 2011, Saints starting center Jonathan Goodwin left to join the San Francisco 49ers, and the Saints signed longtime Chicago Bears star Olin Kreutz to replace him. De la Puente filled in effectively when Kreutz was injured early in the season, then found himself as the starter when Kreutz unexpectedly decided to retire in mid-season.

Later, head out to the pool or the beach for some sunning and swimming before hopping on Jet Skis at Ride A Wave with your gift certificate.
You and your lovely assistant can spend some time offstage with a visit to the nearby city center or the upscale boutiques at Royal Palm Place—a spot so luxurious, you'd think it an illusion.

The largest prospective trial ever examining the anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx as a chemoprevention agent found that the risk of developing a cardiovascular "event" –– heart attacks and/or strokes –– was almost double in patients who received the drug, compared to patients who took the placebo, according to a study out Feb. 15 online in The New England Journal of Medicine.
The risk was first discovered and reported last September by the study's safety monitoring board and led to the shutdown of the colon cancer chemoprevention trial and subsequent withdrawal of the drug from the U.S. market.
The trial, known as APPROVe (Adenomatous Polyp Prevention on Vioxx), was the longest test yet of Vioxx as a chemoprevention agent, and was designed to determine whether the drug could prevent the re-growth of precancerous colon polyps in people who had already had polyps removed. The prospective chemoprevention study randomized 2,586 participants from 108 centers in 29 countries to receive either 25 mgs. of Vioxx daily or a placebo drug for three years, 2001-2004. The trial was stopped September 30, 2004 –– approximately two months before its planned completion.
According to Robert S. Bresalier, M.D., of The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and lead author of The New England Journal of Medicine study, 46 of the 1287 patients randomized to take Vioxx daily had confirmed cardiovascular events over a three year period –– mostly heart attacks or strokes. In the 1,299 patients given a placebo drug, there were 26 events. Each group, however, had the same number of deaths and not all were related to heart attacks or strokes.
"The overall number of cardiovascular events is small, but, nevertheless, the difference between the groups is significant," says Bresalier, who is professor and chair of the Department of Gastrointestinal Medicine and Nutrition at M. D. Anderson and a member of the study's steering committee.
This study examined data on the 2,586 patients enrolled in the trial, all of whom had a history of adenomatous colon polyps. The most notable trend, according to Bresalier, was that patients did not begin to experience cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks or strokes until after 18 months of treatment. "In the first 18 months, the risks for the two treatments were similar," Bresalier says.
Other cardiac problems, such as hypertension-related events, pulmonary edema and congestive heart failure-related events were much more prevalent in the Vioxx-treated group compared to the placebo group and presented earlier. The data on these cases, however, is less firm, Bresalier notes, because, unlike heart attacks or strokes, these problems were not "adjudicated," or validated by a separate committee. This was not a cardiovascular trial, reminds Bresalier, so while investigators reported all events, only the most serious were fully examined.
"Because patient benefit is the most important criteria for any study, it was appropriate to stop the trial," Bresalier says. "We don't know why Vioxx increased this risk, but we now have an opportunity to study whether subpopulations of patients are more susceptible than others."
"I think it's unfortunate that we've perhaps lost a class of drugs which potentially has very important roles in a variety of diseases ¯ arthritis, cancer prevention, cancer treatment, treatment of Alzheimer's disease, treatment of precancerous lesions, not only in the colon but in the esophagus and many other organs," says Bresalier. "What we don't know is, if the cardiovascular results seen in Vioxx represents a class effect of COX-2 inhibitors or if this is an individual effect to this drug. I don't think we can tell this from this one trial or from the trials that are out there at the moment. That's going to be the real question."
The investigators examined the use of cardio-protective aspirin among patients and found that it did not skew findings on the overall risk of Vioxx treatment.
The study was funded by Merck Research Laboratories, which manufactures Vioxx. Bresalier reports receiving a consulting fee as a member of the APPROVe trial steering committee.

Codemasters signs "Overlord" from Triumph Studios, coming summer 2007 for Xbox 360 and PC
Next-generation gaming in a twisted fantasy world where players have the choice to be evil… or really evil!
New York (May 2, 2006) – Codemasters has signed Overlord, an original next-generation title from developer Triumph Studios, whose pedigree includes the award-winning strategy series Age of Wonders.
Overlord is a groundbreaking action adventure set in a twisted fantasy world. Scheduled for a summer 2007 release, Overlord will launch exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and PC.
Taking control of a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the long-dead evil Overlord, the player emerges near death from the ruins of the old Overlord's Dark Tower. Only the player's actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it's all up to how bad they want to be in order to succeed… evil or really evil! With a dark sense of humor, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy stories and characters.
Overlord introduces a unique game play innovation – the Minions, an army of impish creatures that will use their unique skills to fetch, fight and die for their new Overlord. Throughout the game players will actively control a horde of these gremlin-like creatures that will follow every bidding no matter how whimsical or life threatening it may be.
"Overlord offers a wealth of freedom and allows players to experience classic fantasy like never before," said Lennart Sas, director at Triumph Studios. "Working with the minions, players can loot and pillage their way through the game's world or maybe resist the temptations of evil. In Overlord, player choices truly shape the world."
"Overlord comes loaded with innovative and compelling game mechanics wrapped in a scenario that plays out with plenty of dark humor," said Barry Jafrato, Senior VP of Brand for Codemasters. "We're delighted to be working with Triumph on the title, bringing something fresh and original to next-generation gamers."
With more details on this unique game coming over the course of its development, Codemasters will publish Overlord for Xbox 360 and PC in summer 2007.


text: I woke up this morning with ESPN still on my tv...at the bottom the cold hard finality hit me yet again. "Cowboys eliminated with loss. Redskins can still get wild card with loss by Bears and Vikings." Which is very unlikely so I expect by 8 PM it will be 100 percent elimination for the Skins, too. Regardless of what happens with the Redskins and Cowboys in about 10.5 hours, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here for the good solid football discussion over the last few weeks. When I first joined this place, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had some doubts some would be willing to engage in civil discussion/debate with a R hedskins fan. In many ways I feel the teams and fanbases have more in common now than in the past - with the Mara BS and being long-suffering. Both franchises have been very scrappy in fighting back to save their respective seasons. I'd always been of the impression when I was growing up that Cowboys fans were bandwagon fans...yet when I asked people about their first memories...some went all the way back to the beginnings of this franchise. I didn't expect to see such breadth and variation there. I was impressed. People have even given me good advice in other areas of the board about some things outside the scope of football. So thanks again - I've really enjoyed this place. I realize that if the Redskins win tonight, that I should out of respect give it some time before posting again here. In the past, or even with Cowboys fans I see in person, there would ordinarily be some gloating. If the Cowboys win, they deserve the playoffs and the division....no excuses, no *****ing about refs, common opponents, none of that. Here's to a good hard-fought game today by both teams. The rivalry is back - and I hope there are many more years of these types of games between the 2 teams over the next 10 years or so.

Just wanted to ask a couple quick questions about Hawaii. Has anyone heard if the "CCD" has bee confirmed, I mean are they having the same problems?
One of the symtoms of CCD is that colonies in the same yard will not rob dead ones or equipment that has had suspected CCD, do you think this is because of contamination or a symptom of the sick bees.
My bees seem to rob them heavily after the equipment has sat for about two weeks, but within that two weeks, in my case, the bees also looked like they were making a strong come back.
My personal feeling, at present, is that it is an auto immune type of disease, most likely brought from another country. I say this because of the speed that it traveled and how much loss there was across the board. Every beekeeper did something different with very similar results. In my case it really seemed to cooralate to mite load. I had a yard of 50 colonies, that didn't get the last dose of OA. I lost 48 out of 50. Other yards were averaging about 50% loss. The nucs I had made at the end of the summer were my best bees at the end of January.
Guess we'll see.....or maybe not. We will just tell our kids when it happens again in 50 years ...." I remember back in ought 7, ......the great die off it was called......or was it CCD........now what did CCD stand for again?.....can't remember, oh well turn on MattLock"

Charter School Prepares Students to Lead in the High-Tech World
What do you do with an old Navy training center? How about turning it into a school--a charter school that embraces technology and how it applies to the world of work? So began the Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High Charter School.
"High Tech High" (HTH) was founded in 2000 by a group of business leaders and educators. The newly designed former Naval Training Center in San Diego houses the small, but diverse, learning community that is supported by industry leaders, who provide funding and time to mentor students. The school's curriculum focuses on math, science, and engineering, with an emphasis on three principles:
- personalizing learning;
- making adult-world connections; and
- working toward a common intellectual mission.
One technology application that students develop is the Digital Portfolio. The portfolio uses the Internet to showcase the student's best work when applying for internships and jobs or to apply to colleges. One portfolio from the class of 2004 has a display of a History Day project on the mass production of automobiles with a slide presentation using graphics, animation, and other design elements to enhance the historical content. The school uses an online tutorial to help students plan and launch their portfolios.
High Tech High also makes connections among core subject matter disciplines. For example, as part of studying the history of World Wars I and II, students build a human-powered submarine. To do the project they are required to become scuba certified and must study nuclear chemistry and marine biology. In addition to visiting war memorials in the San Diego area, they conduct research in marine ecology in Mexico.
Student achievement data show that High Tech High students are performing above average. According to 2003 Adequate Yearly Progress data, 85.7 percent of all students at the school scored proficient or above in English language arts, and 79.2 percent were proficient or above in mathematics. SAT I scores in 2002-03 were above the county and district averages, and 132 points above the statewide average.
The innovations at High Tech High are catching on around the country. In 2002 the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation founded a network of high schools based on the High Tech High model. In addition, the California Department of Education passed legislation to establish the High Tech High School Grant Program for school districts or charter schools to establish similar high schools. The high school's program and facility design will influence the design of 14 new schools to be built in San Diego over the next 10 years.

I would buy this for my 3 year old son but I just can't bring myself to have him wearing a shirt that says herpes on it.
But then again when he says "brain freeze" it sounds like "herpes" so when we eat ice cream he always yells "I've got herpes!"

Re: Pithed Lemon
You do realize that pithing is a slaughtering technique in which the brain of the animal is scrambled with a tool inserted through the hole in the skull created by captive bolt stunning. When just looking at the deff of the lemon pith the shirt is funny, but when you looked at the definition of pithed its kinda creepy.

It's not an issue of whether you like or support this design, just that all designs be treated equally. I'm disappointed that Woot gave in to popular forum pressure and opted for appeasement.
Here's why I think this shirt was rejected, and why it was the right call. Based on past rejections it easily qualifies for the "similar shirts exist" rule, the similar shirts being at other sites and possibly at this one. The issue isn't that similar characters exist, it's the entire design that is too similar. Visually this is a rabbit standing next to bones with some text, which covers most of those Monty Python shirts. The concept is that the rabbit is carnivorous, which is in those other shirts as well. So what is in this design that isn't in the others, conceptually or visually? The words on the slogan are different. Given woot's feelings on slogans, I don't think that's enough. If it were then the following week you could feasibly resubmit another carnivorous rabbit next to bones and have it say "tastes like chicken" and the following week something else. I don't think adding or altering a slogan is enough on it's own to distinguish a design from others. Fable proved that you could use virtually the same character in a slightly modified situation and get it past rejection. I think if this had just that one additional element or concept (that wasn't a different slogan) it wouldn't have been rejected. I could see this getting resubbed with an alteration that adds to the concept and makes it unique in some way. I completely get what you're saying about this artist being under extra scrutiny, but on this particular shirt I think woot made the right call. Fortunately for fans of Ramy he has a great entry still fogged right now.

Yup, I knew that. Having a cow's head instead of a lemon: THAT would have been creepy.

Ramby may be in the fog often, but he doesn't win as often as people believe.
So let me get this straight. You readily admit Ramy's shirts get printed more often than 75% of the other top contenders on this website that you can name, EVEN though he's submitting much less often lately, and you're complaining... why?

Because he is submitting less often. He is submitting less often due to people hating on him and Woot's added rules that appear to be directed strait at him. He wins with bunnies, we get the no bunnies rule, he wins with a video game, we get no video games rule. The fact is that Woot gives off the appearance of hating their best seller, and that is sad, and just plain piss poor business sense.
i hope this wins!! i actually want this shirt!!!

I also have a tokidoki item with the pepper and it's not exactly the same. This is a good representation of the only tokidoki pepper I've ever seen. Note the horns, face, and orientation. I suspect there's only so much you can do with a flamin' hot chili pepper as a concept...
All in all, I think this is the best of the three versions.

No, no, no, it's not marching at breakneck speed. It's moved a few inches, once per session (or every few sessions) with your consent and direction, coupled with real therapy. Do a little research on phobia desensitization therapy to learn more. I have a close friend who went through it and it took about 17 months, I think. Her sister did the same thing in about 6 weeks. Everyone's different and there's no schedule to follow.

It still is a very close similarity. Personally it doesn't matter in the end. Your angler design isn't going to win in this regard. Try using some line variation and cleaning up your style. Then you'll actually have a chance.
Thanks for the love ya'll. Here's hoping for an EC or HM.

Linear Tech Slumps: FYQ1 EPS Misses, Q2 View Light
Shares of chip maker Linear Tech (LLTC) are down $1.21, or 3%, at $38.34, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue that topped analysts' expectations slightly, and earnings per share that missed consensus. The company sees revenue below consensus as well for the current quarter.
Revenue in the three months ended in September rose 2%, year over year, to $340.4 million, yielding EPS of 45 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $339 million and 46 cents.
CEO Lothar Maier observed that the company benefitted from sales of chips into the auto and industrial markets, with auto making up 19% of bookings, an historical high, he said.
Lothar warned both seasonal factors, and the U.S. government shutdown, may weigh on this quarter's results:
Our fiscal second quarter has been challenging over the past three years partially due to the December quarter being a historically slow quarter for the automotive and industrial end-markets. Our book to bill ratio for the first quarter was slightly positive, however, bookings normally weaken the last month of the December quarter due to the holiday period. In addition, business in the United States may be impacted by the current budgeting stalemate at the Federal Government level. Accordingly, we are forecasting revenue for our second quarter to be flat to down 4% from the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
That projection equates to revenue in a range of $327 million to $340 million, which is below the consensus for $343 million.

Discussion in 'Chevy Silverado Forum (GMC Sierra)' started by JKeshler23, Oct 6, 2012.
Does anyone know a way to wire up your Backup Camera to always be on when your truck is running?
simply put no I dont,
but if I had to guess, maybe it could be done similar to wiring a nav system to always think the ebrake is on so you can actually use it while driving. With my wifes I hooked it to a toggle switch and grounded it so that if say I had to show it working like it was supposed to I could flip the switch off and it would function properly (can only input address with ebrake up etc). I would think if instead of it being connected to the reverse wiring (with a nav it connects to the reverse light and gets powered that way), connect it to a powered switch and just filp it on making it think its in reverse.
When I wired my back up camera in, the instructions said to tie the camera power wire into back up light circuit (I used the wire for this purpose that was in the trailer wire harness). Unless your camera is wired significantly differently from mine, it seems like it should be as easy as finding a different, always on source for the camera power. Again, it seems like the trailer wire harness could have an accessory wire that is always on.
The "E" pin should have the 12v power.
However, this is hot all of the time, it needs a relay to switch it when the ignition is on.
The red wire may not be connected to any thing, look under the hood near the fuse box. If you find it loose, there is a post near the fuses that it will connect to.
Separate names with a comma.

|County Detention Facilities
2002 Annual Report
first | previous | 1 of 14 | next
subject index
Florida County Detention Facilities' Average Inmate PopulationInmate Profile Summary
This County Detention Facilities Summary provides an annual profile of Florida's detention facility inmate populations. Monthly Average Daily Population (ADP) figures include male, female, adult and juvenile inmates.
Table 1 illustrates county jail populations over an eight-year period (1995 - 2002). The 2002 population figures are arranged into felony, misdemeanor and "other" subcategories in Table 1A. "Other" includes the number of parole violators, state inmates, undocumented aliens, holdings for other jurisdictions and individuals detained under the Baker (mental health) and Myers (alcoholism) Acts. Within both felony and misdemeanor subcategories, the number of inmates sentenced, held for trial or sentencing, and those detained or sentenced for violation of probation are listed. Table 2 features the average 2002 populations at county jails and average incarceration rates by county. Table 3 lists average 2002 populations by facility. Table 4 shows the average 2002 felony pretrial population by facility and month. Table 5 shows the average 2002 misdemeanor pretrial population by facility and month.
The charts that follow illustrate eight year trends in county jail facilitiesMiscellaneous Information
Non-Reporting Facilities
Due to varying circumstances, several facilities did not report at various times during the year and therefore, are not included in the statewide totals. These need to be taken into consideration when referring to the numbers presented in this report. Both Holmes County and Sumter County have been omitted from the entire report. Sumter County phoned in an ADP on a monthly basis which averages out to 152.3 for the year. The following is a list of facilities, by month, which did not turn in a report during 2002. The number in parenthesis next to the month indicates the number of facilities that did not report in that month.JANUARY *(5)
*Please note the following months have relatively large facilities that did not report. The exclusion of these facilities in the statewide totals has a significant impact. Therefore, for these months, the statewide totals are not true representations of the jail activity in Florida.DC Rated Capacity Information
In reports prior to July 1997, information was listed regarding the Department of Correction's (DC's) rated capacity of each county detention facility. However, as of July 1, 1997 the Department of Corrections was no longer legislatively required to establish and monitor this information.Questions pertaining to the statistics in this report or about the mailing list or report submission should be directed to Stacey Anderson with the Florida Department of Corrections' (DC's) Bureau of Research and Data Analysis at (850) 410-4488.

Check Out MPL's "Into the Fire" Documentary
- Written by Dave Walsh
The MPL's first show is fast-approaching and just as promised, their documentary series, Into the Fire" has made what appears to be a limited time debut. It is done in the style of HBO's 24/7 series or UFC's Primetime series and features Kevin Ross, Baxter Humby and others. Sadly they have opted to not allow for embedding or really ease of sharing for this video, so head over to Vimeo to check it out. Check it out here.
MPL makes their debut in Long Beach, California on this Friday. For more information visit their website.
