CODEPINK Rallies at White House to Protest Bradley Manning's Treatment
On Monday afternoon, March 14, 2011, CODEPINK activists staged a rally in front of the White House to protest the continuing abusive treatment of the accused whistleblower Bradley Manning and also the resignation of P.J. Crowley from the State Department. Earlier in the day, the activists rallied at the State Department. To learn more, go to: BradleyManning.

that these clowns are on the side of abating the abuse directed at Manning.
While I agree with their espoused sentiments, their sideshow costumes make any reasonable person think twice about associating with them. And I'm betting that's the real point of their "protest". I wonder who actually owns them.

One of the best state parks in Ohio. Lots of waterfront sites for fishing , large lots , and fantastic views .
Date of Stay: March, 2009
We have spent a minimum of eight days in March and two weeks in August for the last three years at this campground. We would go more but it is over four hundred miles from our home.Having owned over six rvs and traveling the entire country , I feel qualified to tell you this place has been our top selection. Top of the line staff , ( ready and willing to provide the service beyond your expectations ) , large sites , large pool , great lakeviews , golf carts , dock with a variety of marine equipment , and management that makes a point of seeing every day if there is any thing they can do. You will never be dissapointed at this campground!
Date of Stay: April, 2008
This was the third time we stayed here , all for one week each.This is the best kept private park we have ever stayed in , with a staff that rates a 10.5 out of 10.If you get the opportunity this is one great campground you do not want to miss !

They're built of four layers of cold-molded Alaskan yellow cedar with a Sipo toe rail and cockpit coaming. The bottom is 3/4 inch and the sides 1/2 inch thick. The hull and deck are sheathed with fiberglass cloth wet out in epoxy for added abrasion resistance and painted with Awlgrip. They look like they came out of a fiberglass mold. The console and leaning post, which are non-structural parts, are made of Divinycell foam-cored fiberglass to reduce weight.
There are a number of intelligent touches - for example, a pair of high-capacity rectangular scuppers with conduits leading a few feet from the aft end of the cockpit to the transom. The deck has a sort of reverse camber, pitching down as you move inboard and away from the hull sides, with the center third of the deck flat. This lets an angler stand on the side of the boat, with the deck ending up level with the boat listing over to one side 3 or 4 degrees as the fish is played and brought aboard.
Personally, I'd have to try this design out myself to see if it's for me. Even on a deck with no crown I tend not to fall over, at least if it's not too close to cocktail hour.
Attention to detail shows all over, including the gunwales, where oversize holes are drilled, filled with epoxy, then redrilled into the hardened epoxy to attach the stainless steel rubrail. www.vandamboats.com

Many celebrities have gotten smacked down for failing to paying taxes. Wesley Snipes actually landed in prison for his $17 million unpaid tax bill, while Nicolas Cage owed a seven-figure amount to the IRS. A host of others, including Lindsay Lohan, Pamela Anderson, and Christina Ricci, have faced liens or tax bills for more modest -- yet still sizable -- sums.
The two main reasons for us ordinary folks getting stuck with a big tax bill are that your paycheck withholding needs changing or that you have outside income that comes without having taxes withheld. In either case, even if you can't afford to pay when the bill comes due, ignoring the problem will eventually land you in an even bigger heap of trouble. Instead, take advantage of IRS programs that let you make affordable installment payments over time.
Part of what put Wesley Snipes behind bars was his conviction on three counts of failing to file tax returns by their filing date. In part, he relied on a bogus theory that all income taxes are unconstitutional as justification for his actions.
But a much more common problem many people run into is that they can't afford to pay their tax bill right away. The mistake they often make is to assume that they shouldn't file a return at all if they can't pay. In reality, the penalties for not filing your taxes are much more severe than if you file but can't pay your taxes all at once. So even if you don't have the money to send with your return, go ahead and file. It'll save you a ton of money -- and possibly jail time -- in the long run.
AccountingWEB recently took a look at some of the great swag that celebrities received at the Academy Awards. With sponsors handing out goodies including everything from jewelry to exotic safaris, the gift packages added up to as much as $75,000 in value. But the recipients have to report it all as taxable income.
You may never be so lucky, but even more modest prizes often get reported to the IRS. If you get a Form 1099 reporting the value of something you received as a prize or award, not including it on your tax form could trigger a red flag at the IRS.
One allegation that Nicolas Cage raised regarding his tax problems was that his business manager mishandled his funds and caused big losses that destroyed his finances. Similarly, Martin Scorsese and Al Pacino both blamed convicted adviser Kenneth Starr for their tax woes. Starr went to prison for fraud and theft from clients.
Still, no matter where you go or how much you spend for tax preparation, you bear final responsibility for making sure your tax returns are accurate. Reputable accountants will reimburse you for any penalties and interest that result from mistakes they make, but don't count on them. Instead, make sure you understand the positions your tax pro takes so that you can defend them if a question arises.
As you look at the hijinks of your favorite celebrities, be sure not to make the same tax mistakes they made. With a little common sense and some planning, you can learn from celebrity mishaps the easy way.

PortraitMary Ann Smialek is a quality management consultant and has been a teacher at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. She is currently the editor of the American Society for Quality Education Division QED News.
PressestimmenThis is a highly valuable book for professional educators. Empowered teams have been shown to have a tremendous impact on performance in the private sector. The author shows how many of these same principles can be used to transform our views of education. This book contains not only a solid foundation, but is full of practical tips. -- Richard S. Wellins, author of Empowered Teams and senior vice president of programs and marketing at Development Dimensions International (DDI) Mary Ann Smialek's book is an important tool in education reform. There is a lot of talk about turning education into a profession in which teams work together to change organizational practice. Smialek's book provides a clear set of process suggestions for turning talk about teamwork into real, effective, productive collaboration. -- Alan Lesgold, Ph.D., dean of the University of Pittsburgh's School of Education As director of a doctoral program in educational leadership, I agree with two truths promoted by Mary Ann Smialek: you have what it takes to initiate teams in your organization and no one is going to do it for you. What is often needed, however, is the knowledge of how to do it. Smialek provides that in a succinct and interesting way-basing it in both research and practice. -- Dr. Helen C. Sobehart, director of the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program for Educational Leaders and the Leadership Institute, Dusquesne University

PortraitWilliam Outhwaite is Professor of Sociology at the University of Sussex. His recent publications include The Sociology of Politics (co-edited with Luke Martell, 1998) and The Blackwell Dictionary of Modern Social Thought (Blackwell 2002). He also acts as Associate Editor of the European Journal of Social Theory. Larry Ray is Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent. He has recently published Theorizing Classical Sociology (1999) and Key Contemporary Social Theorists (co-edited with Anthony Elliott, Blackwell 2002). He has done extensive work and research on the crisis and transformation of postcommunist societies.
Pressestimmen"A significant event in social theory's ongoing return to earth after its prolonged fit of factless abstractionalism, made all the more valuable by the authors' knowledge of, and respect for, the world's particularity. A genuinely thoughtful and thought provoking book." -- Anthony Woodiwiss, City University "[This] book is important. The theoretical challenges and chances for reinvigoration that postcommunism represents have undoubtedly been overlooked thus far. Outhwaite and Ray have provided a very suggestive redress." Australian Journal of Political Science "This book offers an insightful and refreshingly jargon-free examination of the major dilemmas faced by post-Communist polities in their search for constructing democratic communities ... Students of democracy, globalisation, civil society, nationalism and political ideologies will find this book extremely useful." Seer "No doubt ... the book deserves the attention that it is likely to attract." American Journal of Sociology "This book offers an insightful and refreshingly jargon-free examination of the major dilemmas faced by post-Communist polities in their search for constructing democratic communities. Students of democracy, globalization, civil society, nationalism and political ideologies will find this book extremely useful." Slavonic and East European Review "[Each chapter] offers a survey of a significant body of literature... In their literature surveys, Outhwaite and Ray provide clear and engaging overviews. The chapters are written for readers well versed in both classical and contemporary sociology. Each is valuable on its own as an informed essay on a major theme in social theory... There is much to appreciate in what Outhwaite and Ray have to say in this book, including both their respect for the stubbornness of reality in contradicting our ideas and their moral concern for the economic and political injustice that persists in the face of that reality."

Welcome to GEFRI
Oil Trading in the Gulf Crisis
Status: First draft
The IB literature has largely ignored international crises, and their effects on the aspects of the global economy on which we focus – trade, FDI, etc. This paper examines the Gulf Crisis of the early 1990s. The invasions of Kuwait by Iraqi forces, followed by the huge military build-up in the Gulf region, and eventual invasion of Kuwait and Iraq by Allied forces was associated with a tremendous spike in oil prices, and recession in OECD and oil-importing developing countries. But did it affect the fabric of international trade?
The paper focuses on trade patterns, especially intermediation and the role of international trade intermediaries ("trading companies"). Trading companies were the first MNEs, and remain important in many countries and markets, yet have received limited attention in the IB literature. This paper exploits a unique transactional database on oil trading before, during, and after the Gulf Crisis, utilizing the crisis as a natural experiment in order to shed light on the role of ITIs in trade.
Crises also provide an opportunity to examine path dependence. Did the end of the crisis and restoration of the status quo ante result in a return to pre-crisis patterns of trade? Or was the fabric of international business torn? Recent IB literature has discussed the role of institutions and path-dependence, but has not examined the phenomenon empirically.

Where will the future of our drinking water systems go? With a large part of the drinking water workforce poised to retire during the 21st century, will the youth of today be aware of the opportunities available to them and required by the public?
Also, many people, young and old, are interested in water-related issues such as rising water rates, water resources, water quality, sustainability, and water conservation. However, with today's busy schedules, concerns with terrorism and information overload, the water supply community is finding it more difficult to reach the general public through traditional avenues of news releases, bill stuffers, and the mainstream media.
To help meet the needs of this challenge, NEWWA has created a youth education program to reach future water system workers, future bill-paying customers, and current customers. One of the goals of NEWWA's Youth Education Committee is to assist water supply personnel who wish to participate in youth education in their own service area.
Educational materials are ready to members for borrowing or available for discounted purchase to help in recruiting new workers for the future, and to properly educate the drinking water consumers of tomorrow by partnering with local schools and youth leaders.
Resources include printed materials, videos and DVDs, and visual aids from the "Show-Offs Program." Many water systems that have initiated youth education programs have discovered many benefits, including:
NEWWA's Youth Education Committee offers many services to assist drinking water systems initiate or enhance their youth education program:

Date of Stay: May, 2011
We stayed here this past Memorial Day with our Granddaughter. There was always something for her to do. The pool is fantastic, the staff was very friendly. We have reservations for next Memorial Day already.
Date of Stay: June, 2010
We have camped here twice this year. It is the best view of the Amish farms you will find. This has become one of our favorite campgrounds. Not much to do at the campground if you bring kids, but there's plenty to do in the area. It's very clean and lots of peace and quiet. Just the sound of the occasional horse and buggy. The view is spectacular!!!! Can't wait to go back.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
A great place to camp. The pool area is fantastic. Lots to do and plenty of activities for the kids. We ride a motorcycle and there are lots of places to ride in the area. Going back in July 2010 with the granddaughter and go to Knoebels which is close by. Not sure where the other negative reviews came from but nothing negative during our stay.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
The only thing we were not happy about here was the space between our camper and the one next to us. If we were to have a campfire it would have been very close to the neighbor's camper. Other than that this was a great campground. Very clean, quick check in and check out. Very close to everything and they have a shuttle bus to take you to Hershey park.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
This is one of our favorite campgrounds. It sit on the Delaware river. It might be a little tight with a big trailer 40'. We had a 21' fifth wheel toy hauler and had no problems. We had site 15 which is a huge site and we parked 2 RV's on it. Site 44 is also another nice site.
Date of Stay: August, 2008
There are not many sites for an RV. Ours is 28' with no slideouts. I would say 30' would be the limit. We had site #26. The only other sites we would have considered are #28 and #20. You had to back 100' up a slight hill. If you are not good at maneuvering your camper this place is not for you. There are some inclines to haul up also. The privacy is great and the views on top of the mountain are awesome also. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
We camped here for bike weekend. The staff was fantastic, sites were level. Very well maintained campground. We are booked for next year. We were in site 206. It was the tightest site along the back. We requested the site unseen so no error by the staff. We are booked for 208 next year.
Date of Stay: June, 2008
Very nice campground. Friendly staff. We are going back in Oct. We had a pull through site 411. We also brought our Motorcycle.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
We drove through this camp ground. Lots of full time campers with some very old campers. The grounds were not kept up at all. Nice lake. Pot holes in the driveway area that you could lose a small car in. Talked to some locals and they said to stay away due to plenty of drugs and convicts.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
This has got to be one of the nicest campgrounds we have been in. The staff was very friendly. The sites were excellent. Paved roads plenty of room to maneuver our camper. Looking forward to going back.
Date of Stay: November, 2007
Very well maintained. We were there in November so it was very quiet. Looking forward to going back again this year.

When Will We Have IaaS Cloud Standards? Not Till 2015

Guest post from I&O Researcher Lauren E. Nelson
If you're sitting on the sidelines waiting for IaaS to become more standardized, stop it. You'll be waiting there till 2015, while everyone else is building fundamental skills and ramping up their cloud knowledge. So jump in the game already!
In Forrester's latest report, The State Of Infrastructure-As-A-Service Cloud Standards, we took a long look at the efforts in place today that drive cloud standardization and were not impressed. While there's lots of effort taking place, progress thus far is miniscule. But that shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone familiar with the standardization process since:
a. Standards are always in arrears of best practice maturity
b. Collaboration is often time consuming, delaying the creation and ratification process
But why 2015? Standards organizations are still exploring the market needs — which means that by the time they identify where to focus and actually develop a proposed standard it will be at least a year for now. From there it will be a long year of committee meetings to vet and vote on the standard itself and build momentum for its release. And if the standard makes it to release and there's enough market momentum behind that proposed standard, it will be another year or two before there's significant adoption where it actually becomes a market standard. The standards timeline is easily three to four years out.
And frankly, waiting for standards isn't a good enough excuse to not be leveraging cloud services. The values they deliver today are too compelling to wait, and nearly every cloud service is built upon the existing Internet and web services standards that already exist. While you may risk lock-in or may have to back out of some of your decisions when standards do form, you will have gained significant experience and business value that will make such efforts a minor annoyance by comparison.
Check out the full report to find out who the big players are in cloud standardization and what you specifically should be doing in the meantime. And if you're inspired to talk with your peers and Forrester analysts about this topic, leave a comment here or look to post on our I&O Community site.

Phases of evolution for standards
Comment from E.G. Nadhan on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 10:08
Lauren, Couldn' agree more with you. Standards go through a series of evolution phases with IaaS being somewhere between the Discovery and Experience phases as I mention in my post: http://bit.ly/xvsze0.

AKRON, Ohio – The University of Akron men's soccer team began its national championship defense with a convincing 3-1 victory over visiting Northwestern in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field Thursday night.
With the win, the Zips (14-3-4) advance to face No. 6-seeded SMU (13-6-1) on the road Sunday at 8 p.m. (ET)
Scott Caldwell, Aodhan Quinn and Darren Mattocks each found the net for UA, which is competing in its fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament. It was also a big night for Luke Holmes, who added a pair of assists.
"We're onto the round of 32," said UA head coach Caleb Porter. "Our goal in each of these tournament games is to win and move on, and that is what we did tonight. I thought it was a very efficient win. We battled as hard as we have battled all season long. I think that shows how hungry this team is and how confident we are in the tournament."
Akron dominated possession early, taking a 1-0 lead into halftime, and withstood a barrage of set-piece chances from Northwestern (11-5-5) in the second half before putting the game away. The Wildcats, who are champions of the Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles, scored their lone goal in the 63rd minute on a penalty kick.
UA's pressure resulted in a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute. Holmes made a nice run, splitting a pair of defenders before leaving the ball for Caldwell, who tucked his low liner from the top of the box just inside the left post.
The Wildcats nearly got the goal back in the 34th minute when Oliver Kupe got away from his mark and streaked down the left side of the field where he was one-on-one with UA goalkeper David Meves on the left flank. But Meves, who recorded a number of highlight-worthy stops, came up with a great save, diving to his left to turn Kupe away.
Holmes was involved in another scoring chance in the 39th minute. This time, he was on the receiving end of a Quinn cross and sent a one-time volley off the cross bar.
Akron maintained its pressure after the break and found a second goal in the 55th minute. Michael Balogun initiated the play with a great lob from midfield that bounced around in the box. After a brief scramble, Quinn collected the ball and buried it from 19 yards out.
NU cut the Akron lead in half when the Zips were called for a foul in the penalty area on a Wildcats' corner kick. But the goal was moot thanks to a beautiful combination play between Holmes and Mattocks in the 77th minute.
Mattocks received a final touch from Holmes in the near left flank and, from an seemingly impossible angle, punched the ball off the keeper's hands and the cross bar for his team-leading 19th goal of the season.
Zips Notebook: UA is making its 26th all-time appearance in the NCAA postseason ... Akron improved to 7-1-1 at home in the NCAA Tournament under Porter ... The Zips are 45-1-5 in their last 51 matches at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field.

CHICAGO, Wednesday—The campus at St. Olaf's College in Northfield, Minn. is a very beautiful setting. It is situated on high ground that rolls down over a wide area of fields and countryside.
The attacks on the United Nations have inspired no fear in this area so far as I can tell. I had one anonymous letter from Minneapolis, telling me that the U.N. was the product of Satan's work, but that was the only sign of hysteria I came across.
The senior class had brought me to the college and entertained me most thoughtfully. We had a late breakfast in the "Lion's Den," the place frequented by students and faculty for coffee and snacks.
After a brief rest in our comfortable rooms in one of the girls' dormitories, we went to lunch in the annex of the cafeteria. This was a fairly large gathering of faculty and students and newspaper people. Here I was welcomed again and because of the close tie between Norway and the Norwegian-Americans of this area, and the visit here of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Norway some time ago, I told them a little of our contacts with the Norwegian Royal family as I knew them from their Washington visit during World War II.
Then there was a press conference, and later the students conducted me around the campus, showing me their radio station, which carries about six hours a day of programs, their laboratory and the fine library. They are now building a new chapel. In the art building a group of three architects have been working on a new type of architecture for Lutheran churches.
I had a long and restful time during the afternoon and then an early dinner with a few of the seniors. At 8:15 I went into the gymnasium which, in spite of slippery roads, was practically filled. I talked again for an hour on the same subject of the U.N. and our responsibility and there followed a half-hour question period. Later we all went into another building for a reception which lasted until 11 p.m.
Early Tuesday morning we had breakfast in our dormitory and my old friend, Miss Adelaide Enright, drove us to St. Paul. The roads were a little less slippery so we had an uneventful ride and arrived in plenty of time for a 10:30 meeting with the board members of the Minnesota Association for the U.N. Mr. York E. Langton, president of the group, told me of their organizing activities and then introduced the members of the Board of Directors. It is a very large board, with many people from cooperating organizations serving on it.
This group is extremely active and I think they must have done a great deal of work, but they plan to try to organize more chapters and get more memberships during the coming year.
At the close of this meeting I had the pleasure of meeting two Democratic members of the state legislature and some of the other Democratic workers.
Then we had luncheon with Miss Enright and some of her friends before taking the train to Chicago.
The countryside we are now going through is snow-covered and everywhere you look bare trees show up against a gray sky. Only here and there do you see a few evergreen trees in patches through the woods. This is farm country and some of the farms look very prosperous. Part of the time we rode through rocky, hilly country, with few houses to be seen. I must confess that in winter it does look old and somewhat bleak up here.

Where I stayed
I got to the train station a few hours before the next train to Mysore and fought my way to the front of the queue with my little form (now I know the bureaucratic system to book a seat here!) to get my train reservation
Arriving at the station we all marched down the platform onto the tracks to cross over to the exit and I got a tuk tuk to a hotel recommended in my book. Dasaprakash is large basic hotel opening out onto the courtyard. I was given a cell like room with a hard single bed (all beds in India are rock-like), off-white walls with lots of dirty marks on them, a table and chair and a tiny bathroom area with a shower that drizzled hot water from 7-9am every morning. It was pretty standard and with a door that I could lock from the outside with my own padlock and lots of Indian families in surrounding rooms usually 3-4 to a room (Indian families travel or make pilgrimages in large extended family groups), it was quiet enough and set back from the busy street
My first stop, as I surveyed the usual chaotic streets, was to a fabric shop with reams and reams of every colour of sari you can imagine. Mysore is known for its silk production as well as sandalwood and incense, but my mission was to get a salwar kameez made from the cotton samples they had - these are usually ready for stitching by a tailor. I love the synthetic and silk salwars but as a sweaty Westnerner I knew from experience that I'd suffocate in one of these and cotton was the best route to go. I chose a green one with gold trimmings and the in-house tailor measured me up and I was told to come back the next morning to pick it up. This is one area where Indians do work with speed!
Hanging out in restaurants is not really an Indian thing, they just tend to eat and go even if it's a family meal in a restaurant. You also would never see a woman eating alone in a restaurant or even a snack place. As it was getting dark, I thought I'd find a place to eat with a family section, which is less intimidating and came across Indra Cafe's Paras which was heaving with locals and always a good sign of good, safe food. Upstairs in the family section, I ignored the stares and two Indian ladies beckoned me to sit opposite them as there was no table free
I met with Fabrice at 7am to take the bus to Chaumundi Hill which towers 1062m above Mysore with a Shiva temple at the top with a seven storey gopuram. There were lots of monkeys swinging on the electricity lines and steps preening themselves and each other or cuddled up in pairs asleep. There were already a lot of people up at the temple and as it was a special holiday, the children were all off school
Exhausted in the heat by the time we got to the bottom of the hill, we got a rickshaw back to town and had a south Indian thali at the restaurant at my hotel
In the afternoon, I went to the beautiful and vast Maharajah's Palace. The old one had burnt down in 1897 and this one was designed by an English architect with lots of stained glass, mirrors and mosaics much of it sourced from Europe. As I wandered around the palace, I came across a big group of girls and teachers from a college near Madurai in Tamil Nadu, they said hello and urged me to sit with them and then we spent half an hour doing group pictures which they begged me to send to them as having a picture with a Western lady was somewhat of a novelty. They were lovely and wanted me to go on the rest of their trip with them!
My next stop was the large Mysore market and I wandered along the rows of fruit, flower, vegetables and bangle stalls, past the vendors of coloured powders used in pujas and at Holi and the aluminium pots and cooking utensil section. I love markets and this one was especially vibrant.
I met Fabrice for dinner and we stopped en route by the palace which as luck would have it was all lit up for Shivaratri, which made my day as normally they only light it up on Sunday evening for an hour. It was magical
The drumming in the temples went on all night for Shivaratri and that along with a mozzie which decided to have a snack on my back, I got up in a ratty mood. I made up for this with a lovely breakfast of Pongal which is a mushy rice type thing with curry leaves and mustard seeds, spring onions and spices - along with Upma which is a similar thing made from wheat kind of couscous substance, these are my favourite Indian breakfast foods. With only two changes of clothes still, luckily it was so hot that my clothes had dried within a few hours overnight in the bathroom and I made an early start finding the bus to Srirangapatnam. This fort area is on an island in the Cauvery River and was home to Tipu Sultan and his father Hyder Ali, who ruled much of South India during 18th Century
Another hot bus ride back to Mysore and a few hours later I took a bus to Brindavan Gardens. The 45 minute drive nearly sent me over the edge, despite the freezing air-conditioned luxury bus, as with luxury you get speakers and with speakers you get ear-piercing Bollywood music. The gardens awash with numerous fountains and water features are set below the River Cauvery dam and used as a backdrop to many Bollywood movie musical numbers (ironically after my little bus ride). After a juice in a very posh but deserted hotel, I made a swift exit before they piped in film tunes to accompany the illuminated fountains at dusk. On the way back the bus stopped at an Infosys office in the middle of nowhere and suddenly everyone was talking English around me instead of the local language of Kannada.

Is there a rumor you've heard that you would like to track down? Is there something in the community that needs to get fixed? Mary Malahy explains some of the mysteries of life in the Tosa area.
What can be done about obstructing bush on 70th St.?
Issue: According to a reader, there is a large bush next to the stop sign at North 70th Street intersection that prevents her from being able to see what is coming down the sidewalk from the west. She said she has witnessed several near collisions between cyclists and drivers at this intersection and wants to know what can be done.
Status: Bill Porter, director of public works, said that residents who notice intersections with obstructed views can contact the Public Works Department at (414) 479-8933 or engineering at (414) 479-8927. He explained that if the obstruction is on public property, the city simply has it removed. But, if the obstruction is on private property it becomes a little more complicated. He explained that there are remedies but it is handled on a case-by-case basis, so the best thing to do is to contact the city with specific complaints.

I was told that I need small spaces to be made in order for invisalign to correct my crowding. Will this spacing be noticeable to people?
Will Spacing Added Before Invisalign for Overcrowding Be Noticeable?
Doctor Answers 1
Will Spacing Added Before Invisalign for Overcrowding Be Noticeable?
It is hard to say, if they will be noticeable or not. Defiantly ask. Also ask if they will be giving you a retainer to hold your teeth there while waiting for the trays. The reason is b/c once spaces are created where they weren't before teeth can drift and your first tray many not fit as well or as comfortably as if you had a retainer to hold you until your trays come.
All that said, what was recommended to you is not something I ever do. Not because it is wrong, it is just out of my comfort zone. It is an excepted and practice way to use Invisalign.

Re: January 2013 Suggestions
Re: January 2013 Suggestions
I know it's no longer January, so this can go for the Febuary Suggestions
Frist thing is that it'd be nice to see some change in the clothing style on PS Home. The style now is not that bad, but the styles are getting kinda old. PS Home should add things that look like IMVU's clothing, or things with more "SWAG"
Re: January 2013 Suggestions
I'd like to see a picture frame occupy a whole wall. Or perhaps, a personal space tha has a wall that can act as a picture frame.
Imagine putting up such a frame with a picture of a loved one. Or a picture we may have inserted of rooms of a real life house. Having that picture up could make a small space seem larger (and furnished).
Re: January 2013 Suggestions
I love these lights that I pictured above, but I'd really like to be able to "hang" or "mount" them from the ceiling, so they can shine their light downward toward the floor while they are rotating.
Re: January 2013 Suggestions
Here some idea's I would like to see in home. I know this is old but I would like to see Ice Breakers and the Echochrome arcade games be a purchase item. I get tired of getting pm's while playing a game. Another is more sitting options considering we only have two, not sure how many guys have. Also would like to see like a bowling alley personal space, it would be less lag and fun. Maybe a Secret Garden personal space. Just throwing some idea's out there lol.
Re: January 2013 Suggestions
hey... i have a suggestion... when the women avitars are standing in the casual mode.. they really need to have a foot tapping motion.. I can just see the women standing around tapping that right foot with their arms crossed... waitng.. and waiting.... and waiting...

Michigan's First Loss When Outshooting Opponent
For the first time in the 2001-02 season, U-M failed to win when finishing the game with a higher field goal percentage than its opponent. The Wolverines shot .479 (23-48) while Wisconsin shot .474 (27-57). Nine of Michigan's 10 wins have come when it has shot better from the field than the opponent.
Playing the D
Michigan tied a season high with six blocks. This was the fifth time this season that the Wolverines have recorded six blocks in a single game. The last time was in Michigan's home loss to Indiana on Feb. 17.
Get In the Game
Against Wisconsin on Wednesday night, 12 of Michigan's 13 players received playing time throughout the game. That is the most since Jan. 26 against Vermont when all 13 Wolverines saw court action.
Young Reaches Milestones
Chris Young, with two assists against Wisconsin, reached the 50-assist mark for his career. Also, by converting 3 of 6 from the free throw line, Young surpassed the free throws made plateau of 200 for his career with 201. He finished with 19 points, six rebounds and two assists.
Making His Mark
Chris Young moved into seventh place on Michigan's all-time blocks list when he recorded two blocks to give him 91 in his career. Young surpassed Maurice Taylor (1995-97), who had 90 career blocks for the Wolverines.
Blanchard Goes for 200
LaVell Blanchard reached the 200-point plateau in the Big Ten for the third consecutive season. Blanchard now has 206 Big Ten points this season. He finished the game with 14 points, four rebounds and one assist.
Sharing the Wealth

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- American pharmaceutical company Merck, Sharp & Dohme has agreed to pay roughly 950 million U.S. dollars to resolve criminal charges and civil claims related to its promotion and marketing of the painkiller Vioxx, the U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday.
Under the terms of its plea agreement with the U.S. government, Merck will plead guilty to a misdemeanor for its illegal promotional activity and will pay a 321.6-million-dollar criminal fine. It is also entering into a civil settlement agreement under which it will pay about 628.4 million dollars to resolve additional allegations regarding off-label marketing of Vioxx and false statements about the drug's cardiovascular safety.
It marks the latest big payout by a drug company to settle health-care fraud allegations. GlaxoSmithKline PLC recently reached an agreement in principle to pay 3 billion dollars to settle U.S. allegations of improper drug marketing. Pfizer Inc., Eli Lilly & Co. and AstraZeneca PLC also have reached costly settlements in recent years.
"As this plea agreement and civil settlement make clear, we will not hesitate to pursue those who skirt the proper drug approval process and make misleading statements about the safety and efficacy of their products," said Tony West, assistant attorney general for the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, in a statement.
Merck's criminal plea relates to misbranding of Vioxx by promoting the drug for treating rheumatoid arthritis, before that use was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Under the provisions of the U.S. Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, a company is required to specify the intended uses of a product in its new drug application to FDA. Once approved, the drug may not be marketed or promoted for so-called "off-label" uses -- any use not specified in an application and approved by FDA -- unless the company applies to the FDA for approval of the additional use.
The FDA approved Vioxx for three indications in May 1999, but did not approve its use against rheumatoid arthritis until April 2002. In the interim, for nearly three years, Merck promoted Vioxx for rheumatoid arthritis, conduct for which it was admonished in an FDA warning letter issued in September 2001.
However, Merck said Tuesday the settlement does not mean it admits liability or wrongdoing.
"We believe that Merck acted responsibly and in good faith in connection with the conduct at issue in these civil settlement agreements, including activities concerning the safety profile of Vioxx," said Merck General Counsel Bruce Kuhlik in a statement.

How we work
Our vision
Our vision is a world free of human rabies.
We envision a world in which everyone, regardless of race, creed, or financial means
- is aware of the risk of rabies
- is empowered to protect themselves and their community from rabies
- has access to accurate knowledge about the disease
- understands that teasing or provoking animals, especially dogs, can be dangerous as well as cruel
- has timely access to adequate treatment in the event of exposure to the virus;
dogs everywhere are
- well cared for and regularly vaccinated against rabies
- valued as a protective barrier against infection (rather than feared and despised as a potential source of it);
and, in which, infrastructures are in place to respond rapidly, effectively and humanely to
- outbreaks of rabies
- new strains of lyssavirus
- the potential consequences of these events.
Our mission
The mission of the Alliance is to prevent human deaths from rabies and relieve the burden of rabies in other animal populations, especially dogs.
This includes
- protecting people from the terror, poverty, suffering and death that rabies brings and end the injustice that sees this entirely preventable disease still kills over 55,000 people every year, 99% of them from the world's poorest communities
- promoting healthy relationships between people and dogs
- alleviating the burden of the disease in animals in general.
Our patron
We are grateful for the support of our patron, internationally renowned author, Alexander McCall Smith.
"If you want to help Africa, my recommendation is GARC. This is money that is very very well spent. Not only is it saving human life, it is improving animal welfare."

GFCI Panel Conduit Question
1 Attachment(s)
Quick question here. I'm getting ready to run conduit for a spa. I have a Cutler Hammer 60a spa disconnect panel already mounted and I plan to run 1 inch PVC conduit with four #6 THHN conductors inside. I need to use the large knockout in the bottom of the panel to accomodate the 1 inch conduit. Since the knockout is centered in the box, the conduit would exit the box but be an inch or so away from the foundation wall as it travels straight down underground (see attached photo). Is this acceptable or do I need to use some type of fitting to guide the conduit closer to the wall so that it could be clamped? If that is the case, what type of fitting could I use? Is there anything in the NEC that dictates whether the conduit must be secured as it emerges from the ground and enters a panel?
Thanks in advance!

The husband of Wanganui mayor Annette Main died suddenly on Tuesday.
John Blythe, 61, died unexpectedly at the couple's tourist retreat, The Flying Fox, which is about 30km from the city on the banks of the Whanganui River.
On Tuesday Wanganui District Council chief executive Kevin Ross expressed the council's deep sadness at the death of Mr Blythe.
"Our thoughts, sympathies and support are with mayor Annette and their family," Mr Ross said.
"The family is currently mayor Annette's priority and we respect their wish for privacy at this sad time."
Deputy mayor Rangi Wills is fulfilling mayoral duties in Ms Main's absence.
Meanwhile, Wanganui residents took to social media to express their condolences to the mayor and her family.
On Facebook, Jaci Tozer said: "Dear Annette, much love to you and your family.
John was awesome and will be so missed."
Lynne Davidson said: "Annette, we're sorry to hear of the passing of John. Our thoughts are with you at this time. Love to you and your family."
"Mega condolences to you and your family Annette from me and mine and the wider Wanganui community, mate! Stay strong my friend," said Lawrence Clarke.
Other people spoke of Mr Blythe as being "awesome" and admired the work he did at The Flying Fox.
He was responsible for much of the building that makes it such a unique tourist destination and posts to the company's website often included references to him.
One visitor said Mr Blythe was "one of the nicest people you could wish to meet".
Another said both he and Ms Main were great hosts and "passionately connected to the history and life of the river. John and Annette are the most hospitable and friendliest hosts I've ever encountered".
Mr Blythe's funeral will be held in the Forrest Lawn Chapel, Guyton St, Wanganui, at 1pm next Monday.

The Threat of DreamsMature
Hours later, Aylan found himself in much the same position he had the night before. He was in his own quarters now, but there were guards posted outside this door in stead of a lock and iron bars. He had finally washed himself and found some more suitable clothing, but it did little to lift his spirits. No matter how hard he scrubbed, he couldn't wash away the guilt he felt over his best friend's death. He had asked the guards if they knew anything about what had happened to Jonbryl during the battle or even to Kiana before the siege broke through. Whether they knew nothing or were instructed to keep silent, one thing was for certain; Aylan got no information of substance from them whatsoever.
As Aylan lay back on a considerably softer bed this night, his thoughts wandered to the past once again. He remembered Kiana as she once was, floating around in her favorite green silk dress, and laughing at all of his terrible jokes. She had been so beautiful. Aylan could lose himself in those deep blue eyes and soft blond hair, and he almost had on more than one occasion. His thoughts immediately went back to an evening he had spent with her just two months back, when they had attended a dance in the ballroom together. After a long night of dancing and flirting, they had snuck away to her maid's quarters; a place she assured him was safe from prying castle eyes and eventual rumors. They were betrothed anyway, she had reasoned, why not?
No, I'll not dwell on such thoughts. Aylan pried his mind away from the painful memory with some difficulty. He sat up and reached for the bottle of summer wine he had pilfered from the kitchen some time ago and kept hidden in his room. Aylan imbibed a good third of the bottle in one long draft. It was a pleasant wine, his favorite. Repriora was the name on the label, local wine aged just minutes from the castle. This particular bottle dated about twenty years back. I wonder how much I'll need to drink to sleep dreamlessly. I doubt I even have enough, he mused regretfully. So Aylan sat up in his bed for a while, drinking his summer wine and struggling with his memories bitterly.
Sleep came unexpectedly, and with it dreams. He was suddenly in the castle courtyard, circling Jonbryl in a practice duel. The sun was out and shining magnificently down on them, undeterred by a single cloud. The prince was in full armor, wearing his gold-tinted plate that his father had crafted for him on his last nameday. That's odd, Aylan thought. He's never worn his armor for a sparring session before. Aylan looked down at himself and noticed that he too was wearing full battle gear. His sword and board were real as well, and his blade was not dulled for practice. His green and brown tinted armor clinked lightly as he continued to circle his friend, dismayed. Weaving his sword in and out of his well rehearsed defense routine, he tightened his grip on his shield and braced for Jonbryl's inevitable attack.
The first attack came with the prince's shining golden sword crashing down on Aylan's shield, biting deep into the tree sigil and jolting his arm. Aylan countered quickly, forcing Jonbryl to turn his hefty two handed sword to parry.
"What the hell is going on, Jonbryl?" he grunted as they fought. "This is a little cutthroat for a spar!"
"What? Why would I spar with a traitor?" Jonbryl yelled back fiercely, rushing in to strike again. His dark blue eyes flashed with hate as he drew back his greatsword.
"It was not I who brought this injustice upon your family," Aylan danced deftly to the side as Jonbryl wildly cut at him again. He's not even planning defense into his attacks, Aylan thought. He's lost his mind. I could wear him down in five minutes this way.
"You wear that damned sigil on your shield don't you?" Jonbryl was already panting from exertion. "That is the very banner that flew over the army that sacked my city!"
Aylan could not answer that no more than he could explain how he had gotten into this fight in the first place. He just continued to evade Jonbryl's attacks, dodging what he could and blocking what he couldn't. Despite what he thought earlier, Jonbryl did not seem to be tiring. Maybe he isn't panting from exertion, only anger, Aylan thought.
Their battle raged on, Aylan still on the defensive. He did not want to kill Jonbryl, but he was quickly running out of options. His battered shield could not bear the brunt of many more of the prince's savage blows, and his energy would not last forever. Jonbryls was leaving openings with almost every attack, and Aylan would have to start capitalizing on them soon.
"Fight back, turncoat!" Jonbryl snarled wildly. His eyes shone madly, no longer their normal blue, but oddly black. Aylan could no longer even see the whites of his eyes. As he turned aside another attack from Jonbryl, he noticed the sky had begun to darken. So much for a beautiful day, he thought wryly.
"I don't know why you are doing this," Aylan pleaded. "We were friends!"
"In life, maybe," Jonbryl uttered cryptically. As if on cue, rain began to pour from the skies in torrents, turning the practice yard to a bubbling mud almost instantly. Aylan gave one last look at his friend, enjoying a momentarily lull in the fight as they both regarded each other. Jonbryl's gaze held nothing for Aylan but disdain, he noticed.
With a heavy heart, Aylan went on the attack.
For what seemed like hours, the two whirled about in a deadly dance as they had dozens of times before, but the stakes were never quite so high. Aylan had never seen the hate in Jonbryl's eyes as he did now, and it shook him to the core. Yet still he fought on, now striking back at every apparent opening in Jonbryl's offensive maneuvers. But Jonbryl always danced back with surprising speed or brought his sword back to deflect the blow at the last possible split second. Aylan could not believe it. Soon his sword arm refused to react as quickly as before, and his shield arm was completely numb.
The fight ended in a blink of an eye. Aylan brought his sword up to block another of Jonbryl's unyielding attacks too slow, and the prince's greatsword cut straight into Aylan's right shoulder. He cried out in surprise more than pain, as his shield arm had been beyond feeling for quite some time. Jonbryl quickly swept his sword back across and disarmed Aylan effortlessly. With a look of sheer hatred he planted a boot in his stunned opponent's chest, driving him to the ground.
Jonbryl knelt beside the helpless Aylan, his sword point resting just underneath his fallen foes ribcage menacingly. The rain ran down Jonbryl's golden armor and onto Aylan as it beat down on them unmercifully. The prince leaned forward, his face twisted in disgust. He spoke, his face only inches from Aylan's, with his grip still solidly on his ill-positioned sword.
"Why, why would you kill her?" Jonbryl whispered, his face betraying a hint of sadness through his horrifying visage. On his breath was the stink of death, Aylan noticed, and to his horror he saw something moving inside the prince's mouth besides his tongue. Maggots! What has he become?
"ANSWER ME!" Jonbryl screamed viciously, pushing his sword into Aylan's abdomen slowly. Her? Surely he can't think I would ever hurt Kiana….
"I would never, I loved-" Aylan croaked, wracked with pain and coughing up blood.
"LIAR!" The sword dove up under Aylan's ribcage and pierced his heart, and everything faded away. Jonbryl, the practice yard, and the angry sky all melted into nothingness.
Aylan awoke in his quarters, shaking and soaked in a cold sweat

Oblivion is the fourth part of The Elder Scrolls in which we have to save Tamriel from an invasion. Download the video of Oblivion and find out what's new
Free the Tamriel Empire from the demon invasion
One of the main reasons behind the success of the saga of role playing games The Elder Scrolls is its great action freedom, granting the player with full control on his/her actions and consequences. Oblivion, the fourth part, doesn't abandon the line of previous instalments as you can notice in this video.
New challenges to be faced
In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion the action also takes place in a fictional world with a medieval setting where fantastic and mythological creatures like trolls, minotaurs, ogres or goblins do as they please. This is an action RPG game in which the destiny of the Tamriel Empire, which is being invaded by the demons of Oblivion, depends on our actions. For this reason, we must close the gates of this world, returning the throne to its legitimate heir that was ostracized by the Mythic Dawn.
A great story highly improved by its stunning graphics
Download this video of Oblivion, observe its stunning graphics and get ready to enjoy this new instalment of The Elder Scrolls that will surely delight RPG fans and attract many users that aren't so keen on this genre.

Ames and Murashige head Symposium bill in April
April 20 and 21, 2012
- Directed by
- the Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP)
- Funded by
- a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, ASDP, and PCC
This workshop introduces participants to Chinese Philosophy and Art, focusing on how each affects Chinese identities and their transformations over time. The symposium (principal lectures given by Dr. Roger Ames, Asian Philosophy, University of Hawaii, and Dr. Stanley Murashige, School of the Art Institute of Chicago), is open to all interested faculty, students, and community members. In addition to the public events, two special sessions will support the core group of PCC faculty - "The China Cohort" - as they design courses and add modules to existing courses focused on China.
Schedule of Events
April 20, Friday -- Cascade TH 122
- 12:30-1:00pm
- Coffee and chatting
- 1:00-2:15
- First Curriculum Workshop with Cohort Members – Focus on CHN 260, Chinese Culture
- 2:15-2:30
- Coffee break
- 2:30-4:45
- Dr. Stanley Murashige lecture on Chinese Art
- (Open to the PCC and general community)
- Description of Murashige's lecture:
- How did Chinese painting respond to upheaval in the past? The central question for elite painters was what models should one emulate? And how should one adapt and transform these models? If China was understood to be constituted in the creative participation and contribution of its cultural elite, then how did one "practice" China? In this presentation, I'll look at how painting--the literati tradition in particular--responded to the 14th century Mongol occupation, and later, to the collapse of the Ming dynasty under the Manchu occupation. What happened under the Mongols was a quest for the most appropriate models of the past, models that would serve as the basis for an effective praxis that would enable the continuity of China. During the Ming-Qing transition, literati artists responded in similar ways, but in this later case, the literati masters of the Mongol period had become the chief models, and actual practice had become a conservative orthopraxy, one that a number of artists, often called "individualists," challenged. These challengers never wholly rejected the past, but instead favored different models, and through them, a return to the drama and narrative of nature's physical metamorphosis, an approach that they believed returned painting to its origins and to its fully creative participation with nature.
- 4:45-6:30
- Dinner on own
April 20, Friday evening -- Cascade TH 122
- 6:30 to 7:00
- Reception
- 7:00 to 7:30
- Welcome by Craig Kolins, Campus President, Extended Learning, and Introductory remarks by Dr. Peter Hershock
- 7:30 to 8:30
- Dr. Roger Ames speaks on "Confucian China in a Changing World Order"
- (Open to the PCC and general community)
- Description of Ames' lecture:
- A perfect storm is brewing: climate change, food and water shortages, environmental degradation, pandemics, energy shortage, terrorism, nuclear proliferation, gross income inequities, and so on. An effective response to this human exacerbated predicament requires a radical change in values, intentions, and practices. The rise of China has precipitated a sea change in the world economic and political order, but what about the prevailing cultural order long dominated by a powerful liberalism? Confucian philosophy is being actively promoted both domestically and internationally by a collaboration of academic and political forces. Question: What impact will Confucianism—a philosophy that begins from the primacy of rationality — have on world culture in the ensuing decades?
April 21, Saturday -- Cascade TH 122
- 8:30-9:00am
- Coffee
- 9:00-11:45
- Roger Ames speak on "Confucian Role Ethics: A Challenge to the Ideology of Individualism"
- (Open to the PCC and general community)
- Description of Ames' Second Lecture:
- In the introduction of Chinese philosophy and culture into the Western academy, we have tended to theorize and conceptualize this antique tradition by appeal to familiar categories. Confucian role ethics is an attempt to articulate a sui generis moral philosophy that allows this tradition to have its own voice. This holistic philosophy is grounded in the primacy of rationality, and is a challenge to a foundational liberal individualism that has defined persons as discrete, autonomous, rational, free, and often self-interested agents. Confucian role ethics begins from a relationally constituted conception of person, takes family roles and relations as the entry point for developing moral competence, invokes moral imagination and the growth in relations that it can inspire as the substance of human morality, and entails a human-centered, a-theistic religiousness that stands in sharp contrast to the Abrahamic religions.
- 11:45-1:00
- Lunch (You are welcome to join us by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com by April 17 and prepaying $11.45 for an Asian Salad, or you may bring your own lunch. Location is TH 112.)
- 1:00-3:00
- 2nd Curriculum Workshop – for cohort members
- 3:00-3:30
- Peter Hershock ends the session
This symposium is part of a three-year faculty and curriculum development initiative funded by a Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education and directed by the Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP). This includes six participating institutions of higher education – three universities, and three community colleges – of which PCC is one. The project mission is to establish and accelerate the integrated development of undergraduate Chinese language and culture. It focuses on the introduction and development of Chinese language courses while simultaneously building complementary humanities and social science curricula, including adding modules on China to other courses.

Viral Vaccines and CTL Response

Immune induction by successful vaccine formulations seems to involve stimulation of both humoral and cellular arms of immunity. Nevertheless, CD8+ CTLs are of critical relevance in the context of intracellular infection and tumor for many reasons. The task of exerting antipathogen activity by CD8+ T cells, which principally function to control and eradicate intracellular pathogens, is enabled by constitutive expression of MHC class-I molecules on all tissue types. CTL induction offers hope for vaccines against pathogens that are resistant to neutralizing activity. This review discusses the mechanism of immune induction by some successful vaccines and based on the accrued evidence suggests ideas for improved design of CTL-inducing vaccines.
