This is a blog to chronicle this portion of the life of Staff Sgt. Jason Ross, my son, as he mends, after an I.E.D. explosion, on March 7, 2011, while serving his country in Afghanistan.
Sunday, May 20, 2012
May 20, 2012
The rest of the day was spent doing some laundry and lazing around the house. I did walk over to the mail box and pick up the Saturday mail, but other than that not much went on. Jason has appointments tomorrow, and more importantly, the girls BOTH start at their day care on the naval base. This will be the first time since we've been in San Diego, that they have both been enrolled in a regular day care program. The drop in center was good, and the folks there got to know the girls, so they will be missed. However, I do believe this will be better for the both of them, as well as us.
Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers - we're working to make things better all the time and God is guiding us along the way.

Wow, what wonderful news about the wounds looking better!! That is a true blessing. It's been a long road with that!! I'm happy to hear about the girls getting to get to school together :-) It will be much easier to get around to all the appointments and such and being able to rest a bit yourself. I've seen nothing but miracles along this journey and I don't see why there can't be another. Have a wonderful evening and a great day tomorrow.ReplyDelete
All our best,

So glad the wounds are looking better!ReplyDelete
Continuing to pray!
Psalms 130:1-2, 5-7 Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications (5-7) I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

We don't know one another but we're very proud of you. Thank you so much for your sacrifice & service to our country. Always in our hearts, thoughts & prayers. God bless. ♥ReplyDelete

Should You Cancel Your Gym Membership?
There are many reasons to love your gym. It can add structure to workouts, it can provide needed motivation, classes can beat cardio machine boredom, and watching other people workout can be very inspiring. But, at the same time, a gym membership isn't always the most cost-effective solution for getting fit, and going isn't for everyone.
Are you wasting your money? Here's how to tell if you really don't need that membership:
Celebrate great health! LIKE us on Facebook!
[ione_facebook_like_box url_segment=blackdoctor.org height="260″]
1. You'd rather be outdoors. The thought of being cooped up indoors has you dreading — and then skipping — your workout, but you continue to hold onto that gym membership "just in case." Some people find gym workouts boring, so if you're one of them, start getting creative outdoors. Even if you're not a runner, you can still have an effective workout outside; find an open space where you can do your circuit workout, invest in a bike, or grab your yoga mat and seek out an inspiring place to stretch.

Does the GeForce GTX 465 reveal Nvidia's plans for Fermi?
Posted on 18th May 2010 at 17:20 by Clive Webster with 39 comments
Firstly, 465 doesn't fit the naming of the two current Fermi cards, the GeForce GTX 470 and GeForce GTX 480, which use even numbers rather than 5s.
The use of a 5 has typically meant something significant in Nvidia's history – a die-shrink with resultant clock bump (in the case of the GeForce GTX 275, for example, which all know is derived from the second revision of the GeForce GTX 260, which should have been called a GTX 270).
At other points in the history of GeForce, the addition of a 5 to the name has meant something as dramatic as a second GPU on the card, as with the GeForce GTX 295. With this background, is 465 really going to be the name Nvidia goes for?
Maybe not. Or maybe they are, and actually, the GeForce GTX 465 isn't going to be just a cut-back GTX 480, but something a bit more special? The specs in the rumour stories don't reveal much that would indicate either way.
If the GTX 465 is made on the same 40nm process as the GTX 470 and GTX 480, then calling it a GTX 465 would represent a significant statement by Nvidia, not least because it leaves little room for a future clock bump or die shrink (what would they call that, GTX 467.5?)
We could infer from this that Fermi will never move from its 40nm manufacturing process, or at least that Nvidia thinks this highly unlikely at the moment. Mind you, this inference only holds if we believe that the Nvidia branding department isn't insane and won't call different products by the same name – as we all know, that's hardly a certainty.
Either way, the next Fermi - whether it's GeForce GTX 465 or something different - will be an intriguing product. As we know, Nvidia's got a lot of work to do in terms of reconciling cost, heat, power and performance with the Fermi GPU, and getting the mid-range part right is crucial. What do you think? Thoughts below please!

Stocks opened lower, but quickly reversed to make narrow gains Wednesday as investors took in a broad array of economic news.
The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and the Dow Jones industrial average all erased early losses and rose 0.1%. Volume was narrowly mixed, a fraction lower on the Nasdaq and up 5% on the NYSE.
The stock market today opened to healthy employment news, with ADP reporting private-sector employers added an above-forecast 215,000 jobs in November. Mortgage applications dived for a fifth straight week, however, the Mortgage Banker's Association said, sending activity to its lowest level in 15 months.
New-home sales data were mixed, down in September and up in October as the Commerce Department catches up due to weeks lost during the federal shutdown. September sales slipped 7% (from an upwardly revised 379,000 sales in August) to an annualized rate of 354,000 homes sold. October sales rebounded sharply, to a pace of 444,000, up 25% over September's action. Economists had forecast a rate of 420,000 sales in September and 425,000 in October.
The service sector missed expectations in November, sending the Institute for Supply Management's service index to 53.9 vs. a 55.4 showing in October. Analysts had projected an increased to 55.5.
Also on the economic calendar this afternoon, the Federal Reserve is expected to release its December beige book report at 2 p.m. EST.
Refinery stocks were being hit as oil prices held near $97 a barrel, up 5% this week and at their highest level since the start of November. Valero (VLO) dropped 3%. Tesoro (TSO) and Marathon Petroleum (MPC) sank more than 4% each. Marathon and Valero fell in heavy trade.
First Solar (FSLR) bucked up 3%. The Tempe, Ariz.-based maker of solar electrical components and systems continues to consolidate gently.
Among leaders, a third of the IBD 50 list opened to early gains Wednesday. Jazz Pharmaceuticals (JAZZ) stepped out to an early lead, up more than 2%. The Ireland-based drugmaker has been taking a breather just below its Oct. 25 high after a four-week sprint left it extended above a rebound from the 10-week moving average.
About 10% of IBD 50 stocks dipped 1%, including Ulta Beauty (ULTA), Portfolio Recovery Associates (PRAA) and WuXi AppTec (WX).

Emily Murgatroyd | July 30, 2008
By Emily Murgatroyd • Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - 17:42
Over the next 5 years oil companies will receive $33 billion in taxpayer funded giveaways.
According to the report set to be released tomorrow morning by the Friends of the Earth, (pdf) the $33 billion in taxpayer dollars will come to Big Oil through tax loopholes, royalty rollbacks and research and development subsidies.
"This is a tremendous sum for taxpayers to be doling out to the oil and gas industry," said Friends of the Earth's Erich Pica, who authored the analysis. "The corporate fat cats at these big oil companies are already earning record profits-they don't need our tax dollars too. There are far smarter places to use this money, including bringing down energy costs by investing in the clean power sources of the future, such as wind and solar."
Friends of the Earth's analysis found that over the next five years oil companies stand to gain at least $23.2 billion from tax loopholes, $3.8 billion in royalty rollbacks, $1.6 billion in direct subsidies for research and development, and $4.3 billion through accounting gimmicks.
The analysis found that tax giveaways have increased dramatically since the passage of a Republican-drafted energy bill in 2005.
Who are the real crooks
Who are the real crooks though, how much money will the government be making off the taxes placed on oil in the next 5 years.
Kevin Grandia replied on Permalink
Not much
The US government collects about $7 billion a year from the oil and gas sector - roughly 12%. To put it in perspective, the Alberta government in Canada collected $13 billion in royalties in 2005-06 at a royalty rate between 20 and 40% - that's a single province in Canada collecting more in royalties than all of the US.
Here's the US data on royalties for 2007:
Here's the Canadian data (pdf):
ExxonMobil's profits were $10.9 billion for the first three months of this year alone.

Is there a problem with that amount Kevin? As a percentage of revenues, Exxon's profits are average.
John replied on Permalink
But no need to subsidize
Their profits may be average, but the point is that there is no need to continue to subsidize their R&D. Let them fund it themselves like any other company.
Ray replied on Permalink
John, I assume you would be
John, I assume you would be willing to apply that policy to wind and solar too?
Nick Berning replied on Permalink
I hope not. Wind and solar
I hope not. Wind and solar are far more desirable forms of energy than oil, because they don't result in the emission of heat-trapping gases that cause global warming.
There's a public good served when we invest our tax dollars in clean technologies. It's just a waste of money to throw billions of tax dollars at Big Oil, especially when it's experiencing record profits.
John replied on Permalink
Yes, if...
Yes, if Wind and Solar were making a couple billion a quarter. Maybe even if they made only a single billion. :-)
Again, and not trying to pick on the "big oil" here but if they make that much, they don't need subsidies. Subsidies are encouraging the market to move in a direction when the market can't support itself. Anything more is a giveaway.

I have installed Fedora 9 on my wife's old laptop and we have a Netgear WG111v2 USB wireless adapter for it. However I am aware of the issues getting it to work. This has led me in the direction of NDISWRAPPER but unfortunately I cannot get this to install and anything else I try and install after Googling the problem doesnt seem to work. The error I am getting is the common : Code: [[email protected] A bit of research has led me onto several fixes, some mentioning installed kernel-devel-..... files but nothing seems to succeed and I'm halted by an error no matter what I do. In case it matters, a uname -r provides this info, if its relevant... 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 Any help would be most appreciated as at this point I'm wondering if its easier to just buy a USB-RJ45 adapter...... Many Thanks Paul.

I thought the adult gummy's were ok but I think the serving size is crazy! I received a sample packet with 2 gummy's and then as I was reading the packet it says 2 is only 1/3 of the recommended serving size and then says serving size is 6. That just seems like it would be so expensive if you had to eat 6 everyday to get your recommend dose of vitamins.1

Your Health: Are you at risk for type 2 diabetes?
Published November 7th, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- It's the fastest-growing disease in America. According to public health officials, diabetes was listed as a contributing factor in over 200,000 deaths in 2007.
The outlook isn't improving. If current trends continue, one in three Americans will develop diabetes in their lifetime.
With millions of new cases every year, diabetes can seem overwhelming whether you're looking at the big picture, or facing the disease yourself.
But there is also hope for a change, something one North Central Florida man took to heart, and says he's now thriving despite his diagnosis.
"One morning, I got up to go to the bathroom, it was about 4 a.m. and it was like I couldn't see," Gainesville resident David Bridges says.
It was a wake up call for Bridges who soon found himself facing a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes, sometimes known as "adult-onset" diabetes. The disease prevents the body from producing insulin, the hormone needed to convert some types of food (namely sugar and starches) into useable energy for the body. It can lead to a range of serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, blindness, and kidney disease.
More than 90% of diagnosed diabetes cases are Type 2, while it's unkown exactly what causes the disease, diet and exercise have been shown to play a large role.
It's information Bridges took to heart and, with the help of diabetic counselors at North Florida Regional Medical Center, began educating himself on what changes would make the most impact.
"[There are] lifestyle changes, activity, medication changes, nutritional changes," NFRMC Diabetes Center Program Coordinator Theresa Davis says.
He improved his diet and began exercising, starting at just 20 or 30 minutes a day, and working up to hours of cycling around Gainesville.
"You can still do the things you like to do. You can still eat your favorite foods, but you just have to do it in moderation," Bridges says, "You just need to dial it down a notch."
After 6 months his blood work was shocking - because of his progress.
"My blood glucose went from 425 to 96 and the A1C went from 15 to 6.0," he says.
In addition to losing weight, his diabetes is now well under control.
His story is one of encouragement in a country with more than 79 million people in a prediabetic state. It's a term refering to people who are at an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes because of elevated normal blood gluecose levels.
"It's a very manageable disease, and very controllable and preventable with some of the right habits," Davis says.
Bridges says those new habits gave him his health back, and a new lease on life.
"I call it a sensible lifestyle, its not a diet, its just you're living a sensible lifestyle," he says.
To find out if you could be at risk for type 2 diabetes, take this risk test from the American Diabetes Association, and talk with your doctor about changes you can make to decrease your risk.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Tennessee Department of Transportation wants to alert the public of significant outages to the TDOT SmartWay camera system in the Memphis area due to flooding along the Mississippi River. Approximately 30 cameras on Interstates 40 and 55 are off-line at this time, with outages possibly lasting as long as three weeks.
The Mississippi River flooding is currently threatening the main center that feeds power to the cameras on I-40 and I-55 from West Memphis, Arkansas to the Mississippi River Bridge in Memphis. The power center has been shut down in an effort to salvage transformers, and electronic hardware is being removed from cameras in the path of the flood.
A separate network communications center on I-40 near the Wolf River is also in danger of flooding, placing a number of other TDOT SmartWay cameras in jeopardy. TDOT personnel are monitoring water levels in this area three times per day and may be forced to disable more cameras along the I-40 corridor in the coming days.
During these outages, motorists can access up to date travel information by visiting www.tn.gov/tdot/tdotsmartway or dialing 5-1-1 from any land line or cell phone. Travelers can also follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/TN511 for statewide travel information or www.twitter.com/Memphis511 for traffic information in the Memphis area. Also, for smart phone users, TDOT has a new mobile site that provides simple and easy access to TDOT's SmartWay cameras, message boards, accident information, and construction information. Go to: http://m.tdot.tn.gov/SmartWay/
Motorists are reminded to use all motorist information tools responsibly. Drivers should refrain from texting, tweeting or using a mobile phone while operating a vehicle. TDOT advises drivers to "Know before you go!" by checking traffic conditions before leaving for their destination.

Ripoff Report
King Linen11027 Jasmine Street Fontana, California USA
King Linen Huge rip-off. I bought a set of sheets. After I washed them, they shrank and would not fit the bed. Fontana California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I pruchased a set of Blue Cotton 450 thread count sheets for a king size bed, supposedly 100% cotton. I washed them in cold water as instructed and when I put them on the bed, the fitted sheet would not go on the mattress and when I tried to pull it down, a hole tore in it. When I called the customer service department, I was told that I would have to email a picture of the hole and then I looked on the web site and saw that because I had washed them, I would not be able to return them. This is a terrible rip off.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama expressed hope Wednesday that a referendum on the future of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula can be halted, as he met with the new leader of the former Soviet republic.
Sitting side by side in the Oval Office with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Obama said he hoped last-ditch diplomatic efforts might lead to a "rethinking" of Sunday's Russian-backed referendum. If the vote does occur, Obama said, "We will not recognize any referendum that goes forward."
Obama and Yatsenyuk met as the Senate began considering a package of both possible new sanctions on Russia and economic aid to Ukraine. The bill stops short of going after Russian banks or energy companies as some legislators proposed, but it would give Secretary of State John Kerry more leeway as he readies for diplomatic talks with his Russian counterpart in Europe on Friday.
Yatsenyuk, a 39-year-old pro-Western official, took control in late February after Ukraine's pro-Russian president fled after three months of political protests. With Ukraine now caught in a diplomatic battle between East and West, Yatsenyuk said Russia must recognize that his country can have ties with both.
"Ukraine is and will be part of the Western world," Yatsenyuk said, speaking in fluent English.

Airtricity, Ireland's fastest-growing energy provider, teamed up with Fleetwood, Ireland's largest indigenous paint company, to inject some colour into the Doctor Quarters of Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin.
16 staff members from Airtricity painted a Doctor's rest area in the hospital using materials supplied by Fleetwood. The area, which is used by Doctors to rest in-between shifts, has always been on the bottom of the to-do list and the Hospital was delighted when the opportunity arose to freshen it up.
Since April, Airtricity staff have been involved with over 2,000 hours of Volunteering as a part of their Community at Heart initiative. The aim of Airtricity's Community at Heart initiative is to provide a helping hand to the challenges faced by local communities and neighbourhoods around Ireland.
Pictured here are Airtricity painting volunteers with Steven McQuillan, Marketing Manager Fleetwood.

The call for a 09 is becoming stronger and two cars isn't in the works, so I thought I'd give it a go here first instead of trading it in
It's a 2004 WRX wagon, 5 speed, Aspen White w/ just shy of 64k on the odometer
I've put a lot of tender loving care into these vehicle, every modification was purposely thought out. I tried to strike a balance between a daily driven grocery getter and weekend fun car. This is NOT a died in the wool track car, nor a dedicated autox car, but still no slouch at either A wonderful canyon/mtn. carver to be sure!
Suspension- at the core of the suspension are Koni dampers in wagon housings, topped w/ STi Tarmac springs, RCE lowering camber plates up front and Group N tops in the rear. Ride height is a perfect 30mm drop f/r. Read my ongoing review of this setup here: Tarmac springs on wagon - NASIOC
Sway bars are WL 27-29mm front w/ WL 22mm adj rear. Poltec spherical sway links at both ends. The lateral links are full aluminum, wagon specific w/ Grp N bushings pressed in w/ Poltec aluminum "boxes" for the sway links. Trailing links have Group N bushings front/rear. Group N bushings as well on the front control arms. STi titanium front strut bar, STI wagon specific rear strut bar w/ custom quick releases. Lower STi arm brace. WL steering rack bushings.
I'll be selling the car w/ oe 17x7 2006 WRX wheels and oe RE92's (w/ like new tread). Wheels and tires are kind of a personal thing, so the new owner can figure out what's appropriate for his needs.
Brakes- are FHI four pots w/ two piece DBA 5000 rotors, rears FHI two pots w/ DBA 4000 rotors, Ferodo DS2500 pads front and rear, Goodridge lines w/ Motul fluid. Calipers were recently rebuilt. Have several spare sets of pads- including DS3000's, spare rebuild kits f/r as well.
Drivetrain-Grp N mounts including pitch stop, engine mounts, tranny mount and rear diff, STi short shifter, Prodrive rear diff cover
Engine- pretty modest here: ScoobySport semi-divorced downpipe, STi uppipe, P&P exhaust manifolds Jet Hot coated, Prodrive muffler, Samco turbo inlet, Samco MAF, Samco intercooler hoses, Samco radiator hoses, STi panel filter (have a Prodrive intake that I haven't installed yet), EcuTek tuned
the power is very usable and w/ the oe turbo/intercooler, it comes on very quickly
Aero- I've fitted all the STi under aero bits- tranny cover, side cover and the rear diffuser (bolted on w/ the aid of the Cusco brace), STi aero guards
Interior- I have two 45mm Omori gauges- boost and EGT in oe rubber housings, both w/ matching red needles and green back lit like the stock gauges- this is a very "oe looking" setup, Prodrive floor mats, Prodrive shift knob, Schroth quick fit harness that snaps in/out in less then 30 seconds
the car exterior is in very good shape, as is the interior- this car is very (very) well maintained- my scheduled maintenance is very far ahead of Subaru's maintenance- probably not necessary, but it makes me feel better
I've probably rambled on enough :lol:, I'm looking for $15,000 for this very well sorted WRX wagon.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The University of Michigan men's basketball team fell to the University of San Francisco 55-47 on Saturday (Dec. 29) in the first game of the Pete Newell Challenge at The Arena in Oakland. Freshman California native Dommanic Ingerson (Santa Barbara, Calif./Santa Barbara HS) led the Wolverines with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, while sophomore Bernard Robinson Jr. (Washington D.C./New Hampton Prep [N.H.]) added 13 and junior LaVell Blanchard (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS) had 12.
Hondre Brewer controlled the tap for San Francisco but the Dons were unable to capitalize on the early possession as Robinson Jr. caused a held ball with a tenacious defensive effort of Brewer's shot. Robinson Jr. got the Wolverines on the board as he connected on a jumper from the left wing to make the score 2-0.
The Dons then went on a long 7-0 run as John Cox hit five straight points. The drought ended when Chris Young (Plymouth, Mich./Catholic Central HS) blocked his eighth shot of the season and passed the ball ahead to sophomore Avery Queen (Moreno Valley, Calif./Redemption Christian [N.Y.]), who found Ingerson for a three-pointer to cut the lead to two, 7-5. Fellow freshman Chuck Bailey (Detroit, Mich./Martin Luther King HS) made it five straight Wolverine points when he converted a put-back layup to make the score 7-7.
The Wolverines took their first lead in 10:45 minutes as Queen made the score 9-8 with 7:13 on the clock, but the Dons tied the game once again when LyRyan Russell hit a free throw to push the score to 9-9.
The Dons became the first team in double digits as Cox drove the lane to for a layup to make the score 11-9 with 5:41 remaining in the half. Blanchard cut the lead to one when he spilt a pair of free throws to make the score 11-10.
The Dons then went on a 5-0 mini-run as Cox hit a three-pointer and Brewer sank a pair of free throws. However, Michigan was able to bounce back as Queen found a breaking Ingerson, who sank his second three-pointer of the game to make the score 16-13 USF.
Tayo Akinsete's three-point play on the next possession put Dons back up six at 19-13 at 3:58. Following a USF turnover, Ingerson connected on his third triple of the game, drawing U-M within three, 19-16. However, San Francisco countered quickly as the Dons pushed the ball up court for a Mike Chambers three-pointer to make the score 22-16. The half ended on a fast-break Ingerson layup which cut USF's lead to 23-18. The Wolverines received their final eight points from Ingerson, who finished the half with 11 of Michigan's 18 points.
Cox opened the second-half scoring as he connected on a jumper for the Dons, putting them ahead 25-18. Robinson Jr. pushed the ball up court on the ensuing possession and drew a foul as he drove the lane. He hit both free throws, bringing the Maize and Blue back within five at 25-20. The two teams continued to trade baskets until USF was able to take a 34-27 lead on a Brewer layup.
Ingerson made it a five-point game when he floated a shot off the backboard to push the score to 34-29. Robinson Jr. cut the lead to three at 34-31, as he rebounded a Leon Jones (Battle Creek, Mich./Winchendon Prep [Mass.]) miss and hit a reverse layup. The Wolverines extended their scoring run following a scrappy defensive effort that gave the Maize and Blue the ball. Queen took the inbound pass and looked up court where Blanchard had eluded his man on a back-door cut. Queen sent a high pass over the defense, Blanchard caught it in mid-air and slammed home the alley-oop, cutting the Don lead to one, 34-33.
The Dons responded by going on a 10-3 run highlighted by a three-point play from Russell and three free throws to extend their lead to 44-36.
Michigan then went on a run of its own. Queen hit a baseline jumper and Robinson Jr. put in an uncontested layup. Young recorded his second block of the game, which led to a pair of Blanchard free throws as the Wolverines pulled to within two points, 44-42.
Coming out of a media timeout, the Dons went up by four as Brewer dunked home an alley-oop, pushing the score to 46-42. Following three free throws by Blanchard and a put-back by USF's Tucker, Blanchard brought the Wolverines within one off a jumper at 1:10 to make the score 48-47.
Tucker answered for the Dons and he connected on a three-point play to increase their lead to four. With the clock running down the Wolverines were forced to foul. San Francisco added four free throws in the waning seconds of the game en route to the 55-47 win.
The Wolverines (4-5) will return to action Wednesday (Jan. 2) as the Maize and Blue travels to State College, Pa., to open Big Ten Conference play with an 8 p.m. matchup with Penn State University.

Rob Bradford is joined by Red Sox leadoff hitter Brock Holt, who since being inserted into the top spot in the batting order has been among the best leadoff men in baseball. Heading into Tuesday night, no other leadoff hitter has had more hits (77) since May 23, with Holt having played every inning of every game during that stretch.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
It's nice secret. Not -- things that interest. So I wish my chest. And just sit there and it's okay. Episode of this and to be who would wind you know. -- Welcome to another addition of Brad those shows sponsored -- always my goals distinctive clothing you know publicly deterrent. Through the finest institutions you'll find on this planet. Today's guest is Brock hole lead off hitter for the Boston Red Sox. And -- re talk with Brock -- about leading off for the Boston Red Sox nobody has done it better. In the entire major leagues since poll started this position for the Red Sox back on May 23. You talking about heading into Tuesday night 480. Innings. That 53 games as the lead off hitter for the reds as nobody is more nets 77 total heads. At the top of the order for Brock -- this is the guy who's done it throughout his life. Throughout his career but just get a chance to do right now and made them all important -- something the Red Sox desperately needed when Jacoby Ellsbury laughter. So here's it is podcast solely talking about. What it takes to be a lead off hitter. Brought -- they were Brock Colts. Lead off hitter. The Boston Red Sox. Just a few at bats away from qualifying. For Major League Baseball status for batting average champs so obviously that's right around the corner -- placements on that profitable. Think he had seen him. Throw it went four. And then -- and. So what I wanna -- feel about this -- leading off and your experiences leading off obviously you as leadoff hitter for this team has been hugely valuable. Arm I it's gonna go back to win the first time you served as a leadoff hitter whether it could have been a Little League could have been high school one was the first time. Com. I am sure I did summons and you know while younger than Lee but. You know coming up thought really ever done one -- did in high school. For four years. -- college. I'm inundated it and smiling so some them through the you know I used to and comfortable. In that position. So a lot of times players adjusted there hitting styles to where there in the order some some guys try not to. Leadoff hitter having done it before when they get when you put into this spot. Did you look at it any differently than being in any other -- -- -- or suggest I'm just gonna keep approaching the way it. Yeah it was it was pretty much keep sane approach. You know on you know don't try to do more than I'm -- from -- you know at the plate on distract. Trying to get innings of positioning it in and look for good pitcher out of play and put it it's going on and you know whenever they told me that -- can hit the off. Tom you know and knew that I wasn't gonna change you know who was and had been in the -- you know 789 hole in the bottom of the order but. You know it's going to be the same same hitter. You know up with a with a leadoff spot just first at bat. You know this is more for the team you wanna see some pitches but you know I'm an awesome awesome ready to hit. You know look for good pitch to hit. So it's just you know after that I mean after you first about -- pretty much just another another guy and not in the lineup so you know my job it's that. You know get a good pitch to hit and and try to get on base anyway -- that they got on the -- in. In the bottom line is you get to be up. More than anybody else -- this as a baseball player that's honestly wanted to. Yeah I mean it's fun yet but it's fun you know. -- like -- six at bats last night so you know you don't you know and get sick at bats two off -- -- because guys bond between the baton. Just fortunate to get them in -- but. Yeah I mean that you in the office is something I'll always done and you know it's a spot that -- comfortable and -- you know it's it's working so far. Who was when you release and you used was leadoff hitter early on your career early on -- wife who was the guy who is a guy that you tried to emulate. -- I know when I'm young. Jerry Remy -- brutally tough hitter -- -- days as I wanna drag bunt like he was -- guys that you looked -- today as the guy -- I I emulated a lot of different guys who knows -- to come and it was always my favorite player at the time. -- -- -- will Clark at one point so liked him. Or number 291 year because I like rusty Greer. Com. Yet you know I I switched all the time. -- Griffey junior in obviously. Every kid my age did. But you guys just trying to not fair player Tom I never like -- it blew in on him leadoff zone -- -- this. Whoever -- not fair player it's time it's it's kind of -- did try to be like joy you were rangers' Derek yeah how big range guy and that's buss mentioned will Clark and rusty Greer. And the reason -- like restaurants so much sees he's -- He's ballplayer you know monument that went to a he Rodgers for regain that he threw and -- -- made a couple time plays and out of the -- -- -- games so he can't he can't climb to top money list that point. Now it's like will Clark like Rafael Palmeiro like. He's -- good analyst with the old Rangers. It was the so who was a leadoff -- -- teams can remember. I'm. Married there. So while so for some reason once -- Gary pettis -- tackled it. These are with the win you obviously when you're leaving -- you're you're. When you're young and -- like I can get on base but more importantly I can appeal likely he Anderson -- steal bases and and -- was in here was there a time. In your career where you said OK I think I can be at the equivalent of fifty stolen base I can -- can be. -- legitimate stolen base at a popular. You know -- -- little lie and didn't think things like that you know applause. Lines you know I didn't think. On the bike helmet they. Drive me you know listen thinking like that -- is going out playing baseball. But I don't think there's there's not. You instill faith and it's. You know and Stallone too many. -- -- my career something that you know I'm like you know the team better Q were. He is that. In and Watson. They -- -- that are what was your sense of adrenaline when John told you -- be the leader Erica. And I don't I don't know I mean nothing to lose you know. We're in Tampa and you know he said hey you know -- -- the off and it's something. You know. -- you know I'd been in the bottom of the order something that Ellis excited about obviously it's some house used. So he knows. You know is good news. -- wins a loose. You know there's any changes in -- -- Notes in -- for the games to close that. It was a pitcher's pitch -- different. On. I haven't noticed big change. On last night you know everything in. In. It. It. You know. It's just in my approach regardless it. Pitched me. Still her the truth for -- Trip ribeiro. Question was the cool thing about being leadoff hitter for the Boston Red Sox. There's a lot of cool things. When you eat -- or free anybody be pretty cool but you know being on this team this is pretty special. And last you know we had driven them. Big -- twice and went to his home on a boat this homers so he I think most people say that's pretty cool. And you -- at home anyway you get -- -- up music before anybody else so first. Time yet first -- at music so says that that starting pitcher that they've. The and you you argue that the -- here mile walk that he's. More more than most most guys a lot of pressure you know averages song and a yes on stigma Wellemeyer takes country the -- thanks.

Cryocooler performance and reliability are continually improving. Consequently, they are more and more frequently implemented by physicists in their laboratory experiments or for commercial and space applications. The five types of cryocoolers most commonly used to provide cryogenic temperatures for various applications are the Joule-Thomson, Brayton, Stirling, Gifford-McMahon, and pulse tube cryocoolers. Many advances in all types have occurred in the past twenty years that have allowed all of them to be used for a wide variety of applications. The present state of the art and on going developments of these cryocoolers is reviewed in this paper. In the past five years new research on these cryocoolers offers the potential to significantly improve them and make them suitable for even more applications. The general trend of this new cryocooler research is also presented.

Tim Wakefield is 'very proud' of what's he's done this year
|07.07.11 at 12:01 am ET
It doesn't seem that long ago in the middle of spring training in Fort Myers when the career of Tim Wakefield appeared very close to – if not at – the end.
Here was a 44-year-old knuckleballer looking for a roster spot in a rotation that included Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, Jon Lester, Daisuke Matsuzaka and John Lackey. The bullpen had been restocked and reloaded with names like Bobby Jenks, Dan Wheeler and Matt Albers to go with Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon.
Where could Wakefield possibly fit in?
Well, Matsuzaka has had Tommy John surgery. Buchholz is out with a bad back until at least after the All-Star break and Lester joined Buchholz on the 15-day DL Wednesday with a strain of his left side. Not only is Wakefield wanted. He is needed – desperately – and on Wednesday night, just three weeks shy of his 45th birthday, he gave the Red Sox seven innings and led them to a 6-4 win over the Blue Jays.
"Very satisfying," Wakefield said. "I knew I had to go deep in the game today, even though we had some back-up with Atch getting called up today but the bullpen's been taxed pretty heavily the last couple of days. It's something as a starting pitcher you take a lot of pride in, to get deep in the game and try to preserve those guys for the next series.
"I take a lot of pride because it was my job coming into this year. I'm getting an opportunity to help us win in whatever capacity that might be this year. I'm very proud of the job I've done so far."
Now, Wakefield – by improving to 5-3 in 11 starts – is just two wins shy of 200, which would make him just the 108th pitcher in history to reach the milestone. He also now has 184 wins since joining the Red Sox back in the Mo Vaughn–Jose Canseco–Kevin Kennedy era in 1995.
"I'll worry about that when the time comes but I have to see where I fall after the break and go from there," he said.
Wakefield has always had confidence in his abilities, even when things aren't going well. Take the first three innings Wednesday. Three runs on six hits and he was on the ropes. Then, just three hits over four shutout innings the rest of the way.
"The results were obviously better," Wakefield said of his last four innings. "I felt like I had good stuff in the first couple of innings but a couple of hits and they scored three runs but after that I was able to settle down and make some adjustments."
The key? Talking things over with his catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia after each inning.
"Just maybe changing more speeds and trying get the ball down a little more," Wakefield said. "Sometimes that's hard to do. The balls they did hit, I asked Salty between innings, they were good knuckleballs. They were just up a little bit. Just try to get the ball down.
"I gave up a single run in the first and was able to get through the second. In the third, we go ahead, 2-1, and I give up two runs there in the third. But, after that, I was able to settle down and hold them at bay for the next four innings."
"He's definitely a guy that deserves to be in the rotation," Saltalamacchia said. "He's proven that every time he's gone out. He's going to be big."
If Wakefield has proved anything in his 17 years with the Red Sox, it's he'll be ready, willing and able when called upon. And once again, the Red Sox will be doing that for the next several weeks.
"I feel fine, physically," he said. "I've been working my tail off between starts and feel like where I was two years ago. Last year I felt fine, too. I'll just take them when I can get them."
"It was dirty tonight," said Salty, who was charged with three passed balls on the night, as Wakefield fanned a season-high seven batters. "He was probably the best I've seen so far. He was able to throw some curveballs in there as well and struck some guys out."

Machin, Stephen and McNally, Sandra (2012) The evaluation of English education policies. National Institute Economic Review, 219 (1). R15-R25. ISSN 0027-9501
Educational inequalities are evident even before children start school. Those connected to disadvantage widen out as children progress through the education system and into the labour market. We document various forms of educational inequality. We then review available evidence for England about the impact of school-level policies on achievement and their potential for reducing the socio-economic gap. We discuss evaluation evidence under four main themes: school resources; market incentives; school autonomy; and pedagogical approaches.

In a short interview in The New Yorker this past September, American photographer Lynsey Addario, who has covered the Middle East and South Asia for over a decade, talks about her experience photographing Muslim women:"The more I photographed Muslim women, the more I was able to metaphorically strip away the burqas and hijabs, and start chipping away at the profound misconceptions that existed in other parts of the world about these women and their culture." The language used here has bec … [Read more...]
Films by Afghan Women Tell Real Stories of Struggle, Patience, and Hope
Women in Afghanistan tend to be depicted as enigmatic objects that defy human comprehension. Media sensationalism and selective reporting bear some of the blame. But thanks to projects like an Afghanistan-based Community Supported Film workshop that trained men and women on how to tell the stories on film, Afghan women are now also using media to represent themselves.The project, named The Fruit of Our Labor produced ten short films that feature different aspects of Afghans' daily lives. … [Read more...]

"The annuities business has some huge downstream risk if you're promising people 6,7 percent guaranteed returns and the markets right now are giving you less than 1 on fixed income," Welsh says. "They may have looked at the long-term profitability and said, 'We have a bill that's going to come due when these baby boomers all retire and start to annuitize these products.'"
A lot of these insurance firms had their doubts when they bought broker/dealers to begin with, said Fusion's Palaveev. But margins have fallen and many are afraid of the massive liabilities that have caused problems for other firms, such as SecuritiesAmerica. They might as well get out of the business while they can get a high price and still have no huge liabilities, he said.

Nail Technician SalaryA perfect pedicure is an art form, performed by a trained nail technician who has been educated in assisting clients, whether they're in need of an elegant everyday look or an exceptional event-of-a lifetime appearance.
Qualified nail technicians are much sought after. In today's fast-paced world, many beauty-conscious individuals don't have the time or patience to do their own nails and few women would turn down a day at the spa. These days, recent fluctuations in the economy have resulted in many people choosing a day at the spa over the usual two-week vacation.
In recent years, nail care has blossomed into an industry all its own. Cosmetologists may still receive training in nail care, but pedicures and manicures are not just "bonus services" offered by your hairdressers anymore. With specialized services like extensions, airbrushing, sculpting and marbleizing free edges, aspiring nail technicians must attend an accredited nail tech school before they can be considered for the licensure exam.
Don't worry about what the job market will look like when you finish nail tech school. According to the NACCAS 2007 Job Demand Survey, nearly 75 percent of salons with vacant positions could not find qualified applicants to fill them. This bodes well for aspiring nail technicians. Enroll in nail tech school, take the licensure exam, and get on your way to receiving the nail technician salary you desire!
Nail Technicians Work Hard for the Money
Nail tech students will receive vital training in business, marketing and communication skills, essential tools for advancing your nail tech career. A nail technician's salary very much depends on clients who are so pleased with the services that they return again and again, and even spread the word within their social networks. For this reason, it's very important to make connections on a personal level with your clients, in addition to providing smudge-free high-quality "manis and pedis."
According to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of nail technicians will increase by 28 percent between 2006 and 2016, a higher than the average rate of increase for all occupations, which is great news for aspiring nail technicians entering the workforce.
What does a nail technician salary look like? Annual earnings may range from $12,000 to $32,000, depending on the time you put in and what you charge for services. Most nail technicians work about 35 hours a week, and the menu of services ranges in cost from about $17 (basic manicure) to $75 (spa pedicure with foot soak, reflexology massage, and paraffin wax).
The nail care industry needs you. Get on your way to acquiring that nail technician salary by enrolling in nail tech school and get your license today!

MADRID, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- Three Spanish clubs in different situations in the Spanish BBVA Primera Liga play their respective group matches in the Europa League on Thursday night.
While Atletico Madrid hope to carry their domestic form into Europe, both Athletic Club Bilbao and Levante will hope a change of competition can lead to a change in their fortunes.
Reigning Europa League champions, Atletico Madrid, are at home to Viktoria Plzen and aiming for their 10th consecutive European win in the Vicente Calderon Stadium.
Coach Diego Simeone may make subtle changes to a side that is currently unbeaten in Spain and which could go top of the BBVA Primera Liga should results go their way over the weekend.
Radomal Falcao will return after injury, while Cata Diaz will move into the heart of the Atletico defense for a game in which the Spanish side are clear favorites.
Athletic Bilbao, who were last season's beaten finalists, travel to Prague in much different conditions. A poor start to the season sees Marcelo Bielsa's side third from bottom of the league table and this week's highlights have focused on Bielsa's discussion with striker Fernando Llorente, who he expelled from a training session on Monday.
Llorente has been included in the Athletic squad, as has Ander Herrera, who has needed less than a month to recover from a pelvic operation.
Levante meanwhile suffered a 4-0 defeat to Osasuna on Sunday, becoming the first side to lose to Osasuna all season. Coach Juan Ignacio knows the limitations of his squad for playing in two major competitions and appears to have concluded that maintaining status in Spain is more important.
Levante travel to play Hannover without midfielders, Jose Barkero, Papa Diop, defender David Navarro and striker Juanlu, preferring to reserve them for Sunday's city derby at home to Valencia.

Bonnie Says: Sarah Palin – Your Daughter Bristol & Her Fiancee Levi Johnston are a Modern Day Romeo and Juliet!
Sarah Palin: Do not roll your eyes. Think about it: You and Todd as the Palin parents have been battling and belittling the Johnston family virtually since you found out that your daughter was pregnant at the age of 17.
Yes, you made a good show of welcoming Levi into your family when you had to make the shocking announcement that your daughter was not able to live up to your chastity standards, and you were running for vice president. You spent some of your $150,000 wardrobe allowance on dressing Levi up for the campaign trail. But once you lost the election and were back to living day to day life in the governer's mansion. You clearly were not happy to be associated with the son of an accused and now convicted drug dealer, who is currently serving three years in an Alaska jail for possession with intent to deliver the painkiller OxyContin.
In a modern day version of the Montagues and Capulets, the mudslinging and more began.
After the birth of baby Tripp, now 18 months, both Levi's mother Sherry and sister Mercede appeared on the Tyra Banks Show complaining that they were only allowed to see the baby once a month and claimed their relationship with the Palins was a "nightmare."
The Palins swiped back in a public statement that, "We're dissapointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distorting of their relationship."
Not surprisingly for teen lovers, as in Romeo and Juliet, Levi and Bristolwere split apart and went their separate ways: Levi into the arms of Playgirl where he posed nude, and Vanity Fair where he accused Sarah of trying to keep Bristol's pregnancy quiet by trying to "adopt" their baby and "pretend it was her own." He claimed Sarah and Todd didn't sleep together and planned to divorce, and that Sarah neglected her younger daughters, Willow, now age 13 and Piper, now age 9, leaving Bristol in charge of helping them with their homework while Levi cooked for them.
Nasty stuff, but at least he didn't haul off and kill any of her cousins like misguided Romeo did.
Well, well. True love CANNOT be destroyed and true lovers CAN'T be kept apart. Romeo and Juliet may have had to resort to mutual suicide to stay together. But luckily Bristol, now 19, and Levi, now 20, have only had to sneak around her condo in Anchorage since they got back together romantically about three months ago.
Watch Bonnie talk about the lovebirds!
Apparently, Levi realized he missed Bristol, loved her, and re-asked Bristol to marry him and presented her with a ring. They pair have been living together, say their neighbors, according to RadarOnline, and like the Capulets, Sarah and Todd Palin were the last to learn.
"They have been on high alert in case Sarah stops by to see Tripp," a neighbor told Radar. "As soon as they hear her car, Levi escapes out the back door and waits for a text from Bristol to tell him the coast is clear."
Not only that, Sarah and Todd only found out about their daughter's engagement when she and Levi appeared July 14, on the cover of Us Weekly announcing it.
A little dysfunctional or what? So is Bristol afraid of her mom, angry at her for splitting her and Levi up, or making a statement that she IS her OWN woman? What's up with that?
"She's doing what she wants to do and she doesn't like to answer to her mom," says Atoosa Rubenstein, the former editor in chief of Seventeen magazine. "Bristol will stand next to her mother and smile, then stab her in the back!"
Well, if Sarah and Todd want to NOT be the last to know when Bristol and Levi finally tie the knot, they better do better than their icy statement today: "We pray that, as a couple, Bristol and Levi's relationship matures …"
Jeez, they better take a hard-learned lesson from the Capulets and let their Romeo and Juliet live happily ever after!

10 Curiously Strong Ways To Declutter Your Car
For years my car has looked like a cross between a mobile dorm room and a pile of trash. Between piles of books, papers, pizza boxes, and random things that belong in a garbage disposal my car was becoming a less and less friendly place to be.
One day I developed a system for keeping the car tidy, smelling fresh, and a pleasure to drive in. I even took steps to turn it into a university on wheels when I developed a system to eliminate a 48 hour commute.
Why curiously strong? Because at the root of my system is the trusty altoid box… you know, the curiously strong mints.
Decluttering Your Car
- Box The Change. Coins come from everywhere, and for a long time I tended to horde in my car, in a not so organized fashion. At one point, when I reached the end of my altoid box, I started to put all my coins in it. This allows me to have coins easily accessible for tolls, parking, and other necessities.
- Just One Bag. I keep 1 empty bag in my car. I just leave it on my side inside the door. All garbage, water bottles, etc. go into this bag. At the end of my driving day I take it right out, so that my car is clean and ready for the next day. Leaving trash in the car will saturate it with foul odors.
- Organization Crate. I'm still a student, so I have binders and text books with me all the time. I now keep a plastic crate in my trunk, where I keep a couple of books, an umbrella, a sweater, some water bottles, and a first aid kit. The crate keeps everything from falling all over the place, making clutter, and getting destroyed.
- Bare Necessities. If you're an avid driver you will notice that certain things come handy when you're on the road. Some kleenex tissues, water bottles, mints, and writing utensils just to name a few. Most of these little things can be kept out of sight in the globe compartment.
- Music and Audio. I generally keep most of my audio tucked away digitally on my iPod. However, when I borrow from the library I get CDs. For the few CDs that I own, I keep them in a CD case, so they are organized, and not getting scratched up.
- Fresh Smells. I like it when my car is an appealing, even delicious, taste to it. I love when people complement my car on being clean and smelling good. For this I either keep a bottle of one of my colognes, or a little bottle of air freshner. If you use principle 2, and throw away your trash, you shouldn't have to worry about odors.
- Bi-weekly Scrub. Whether you do it by hand, or take it to the car wash, your car would really appreciate a good cleaning. I don't put wax or anything on my car, just a regular wash, and an interior vacuuming. I think it's 5-7 bucks well spent. If you're lucky the cash in your curiously strong box could potentially pay for this cleaning!
- Keep It Covered. Especially if you are leaving your car outside for extended periods of time, it is a good idea to put a cover on it. This helps to prevent weather and sun damage, which can wreak havoc on your paint, and will keep your car looking shiny and new.
- Wipe It Off. The car surfaces tend to accumulate lots of dust. A good solution I have found is to use auto-wipes. They work a bit better than just paper towel with water, because the shine lasts longer and it also tends to protect against sun damage. You can get them practically anywhere.
- No Food Rule. This one is a must. In the past when I've been busy rushing around I would grab something to eat while I'm driving. This has always resulted in crumbs and food smelling up the car. The worst is a spill on the seats. Those may get stuck there permanently.
What are your tips for keeping your car clean?

UTEP Looks to Bounce Back at SMU
Feb. 29, 2008
UTEP (16-10, 7-6 C-USA) shoots for a second straight Conference USA road win on Saturday at SMU (8-18, 2-11 C-USA). The Miners won at Marshall, 79-76, on Feb. 20 to snap an 11-game road losing skid in league play.
UTEP hasn't won two C-USA road games in a row since February 2006, when it put together back-to-back triumphs at Tulsa and Southern Miss. The Miners are 6-15 in Conference USA road games since joining the league for the 2005-06 season, including 2-12 over the last two years. UTEP, however, is 2-0 when playing at SMU as a member of C-USA, and hasn't lost to the Mustangs in Dallas since Jan. 30, 2003.
SMU and Marshall are the only teams UTEP hasn't lost to since joining C-USA. The Miners are 5-0 versus the Mustangs and 3-0 versus the Thundering Herd.
SMU has lost five straight games and 13 of its last 15. The Mustangs are 7-9 at home this season, including 2-4 in league action with wins over UCF (69-67 in overtime) on Jan. 26 and Rice (68-53) on Feb. 9. SMU dropped an 82-54 decision at East Carolina on Wednesday.
UTEP is coming off an 88-81 setback to UAB at the Don Haskins Center on Wednesday, its first loss in seven C-USA home games. The Miners are 3-8 on the road, including 1-5 within the league. UTEP beat SMU in El Paso, 79-66, in the league opener for both teams on Jan. 9.
"We know SMU is going to play zone," UTEP coach Tony Barbee said. "We have to be prepared and patient, like we were the first time we played against them."
Freshman forward Papa Dia had 16 points and six rebounds in SMU's 82-54 loss at East Carolina on Wednesday. The Mustangs shot 32.1 percent in the first half in falling behind 47-22, and trailed by as many as 33 points in the second half.
Dia is averaging 10.0 points and a team-leading 6.7 rebounds this season. Senior guard Jon Killen is averaging 12.4 ppg, and junior center Bamba Fall is averaging 11.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg and 2.2 bpg. Killen is second in C-USA in assists (4.9 apg) and Fall is third in blocked shots.
The Ponies are 10th in the league in scoring defense (70.9 ppg) and 11th in scoring offense (63.5 ppg).
UTEP leads the series 17-13 and has beaten SMU nine straight times. The Mustangs have enjoyed a 7-5 advantage in games played in Dallas, although the Miners have won the last four matchups between the schools at Moody Coliseum.
UTEP and SMU are meeting twice in league play for the ninth season in a row, although this marks just the third time during that stretch that the first meeting was in El Paso (the other occurrences were during the 2000-01 and 2003-04 seasons).

I had a saline deflation L breast replaced 1.10.12, approx. 2 weeks after deflation. During the surgery the capsule came out with the deflated implant. A new saline implant was put in. I am 25 days postop & the swelling has gone down some but not to what it was before surgery. Will it continue to go down? I have not seen my surgeon since surgery(he went out of town)only his nurse. Worried because L breast is bigger than R. R was replaced too but no capsule removed.
Swelling After Deflated Implant Replacement and Capsulectomy, When Will It Go Down For Good?
Doctor Answers 3
Healing after breast revision and capsulectomy
healing after breast revision and capsulectomy:
- see other posts on healing after BA
- this will take several weeks to heal and possible 3 months or so for final results
- seromas can occur and add to swelling
- your doctor will check this when they see you
Breast Swelling after Second Augmentation
You certainly can have swelling remaining at this point in your recovery. Remember versus your first augmentation you had a more involved operation by having the capsule removed in addition to have the implant replaced. Give the area time and make sure you keep your appointments with your PS when he/she returns to town.
Dr. ES
Post op swelling
It can take up to 6 months for swelling to resolve. This is an even slower process due to the revision surgery. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.

Amoo Hadji: Man who hasn't bathed in 60 years [See Photos]
An 80-year-old Iranian man, Amoo Hadji, has not taken bath for 60 years! His skin is scaly, you can barely see his eyes and he smells to high heaven. The reason for it is as simple as that: he has just refused to take a bath for sixty years.
The (allegedly) 80 year-old man leads a fairly primitive life, with his most prized possession being a steel pipe... that he smokes animal dung with. Living in the village of Dezhgah (city of Farashband in Fars province of Iran), he seems to blend in with his surroundings.

Wounded veteran receives Purple Heart nearly 10 years later
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Almost 10 years after he was injured by an improvised explosive device, an Iraqi veteran finally received a Purple Heart.
Cory Klumb enlisted in the Montana Army National Guard 10 years after he was discharged from active duty in the Army. Several years later, he was deployed to Iraq.
On April 13th 2004, Klumb's convoy was traveling back from Baghdad National Airport when they were hit with an IED.
"When the incident initially happened, I got put in for the award and it got denied because I didn't require treatment by a physician," explains Klumb.
But Klumb developed hearing loss and when he saw Senator Jon Tester on the news awarding another soldier in his unit with a Purple Heart...
"I wrote them a letter and told them, either get me the award or get it off my 214 so it wouldn't become an issue," says Klumb.
214's are military service records.
Now, Klumb is accepting one of the highest honors given by the military.
"I'm grateful for the award," Klumb says.
Senator Jon Tester tells us close to 60 veterans or their families have contacted his office saying they earned an award but never received one. To date, Tester has awarded 550 medals to 57 veterans.
"That kind of stuff shouldn't happen but it does and we just try to set the record straight," says Senator Tester.
Tester tells us the military does a pretty good job in ensuring folks get what they earned but he says it does happen with some regularity and even one that slips through the cracks is one too many.
"Even if it's late, at least we're making the recognition, making sure the folks are honored appropriately for their sacrifice and their service," says Tester.
And for that, Klumb says he's grateful.
"I thank the senator and his office for his help in getting me this," says Klumb.
Vietnam veteran James Howe knows what it's like to be in combat. He tells us he came out to honor a fellow veteran.
"A lot of people just say, 'well, the war is over, forget about it.' But these gentlemen are going to have to be putting up with their injuries all through their life and to receive a Purple Heart is a great honor," says Howe.
Howe tells us he thinks the military should keep better records of those soldiers who were injured and encourages other veterans who think they've earned an award to come forward for recognition.
"There's a lot of people out there who deserve medals that have never gotten them," explains Howe.
But in Klumb's case, Howe says, "I think it's good for him, people see what he's done for this country."

Behold, America! | Part 4
Derrick Cartwright, Ph.D.
Director of University Galleries and Professor of Practice, Art History at the University of San Diego
Proliferating Participation: American Art Displays in Eras of Crisis
Contemporary American museum culture is fraught with challenges. In the face of weakening public support, institutions today claim that they seek audience engagement as a key to maintaining relevance and achieving sustainability. This talk explores the ways that "participation" has often been held up as a virtue by American art exhibitions past and present. From Robert Henri's 1915 exhibition of Modern American Painting at the Panama California Exposition to ambitious projects, like Behold, America!, the stakes of encouraging new participatory practices have at once evolved and grown more urgent across the United States.

There will be small differences due to the algorithms' implementations
as you already noted.
Stata 10 may not have the full list of covariance matrices that HLM has
and it won't run Penalized Quasi-Likelihood Generalized Linear models
(no real loss). However, HLM does have the nifty "higher order Laplace"
for some GLMs which hasn't been implemented elsewhere.
HLM has sandwich estimators for multilevel models which Stata 10 doesn't
seem to do.
I'm not sure what of the various DF calculation methods Stata uses to
compute DF in multilevel models. SAS MIXED documentation has five I
believe (Satterthwaite, containment, Kenward/Roger, between/within,
residual). I believe HLM uses between/within, i.e., simply counts how
many vars and observations appear at different levels. Stata does
something else but I'm not sure what exactly, Satterthwaite I suppose
but I've never cared enough to find out.
Maybe Bobby Gutierrez can chime in and provide a definitive answer. :)
