President Truman today disclosed the view that repeal of the poll tax, must be left up the states. His pronouncement—one of the most controversial issues ever tackled by congress—came unexpectedly at a new s conference he held for Chicago high school journalists. The question was raised by a nervous, shy little girl, whose query escaped most of the reporters regularly assigned to cover the president. Mr. Truman, a proponent of federal repeal of the tax levied in a number of southern states as a prerequisite for voting, while a member of the senate, has on several occasions pointed to his senate record, when asked about his attitude. "Do you see any immediate solutions of the poll tax in the south?" came the question. No, he did not, the president replied. That is a matter they will have to work out for themselves. There are a number of southern states, the president went on, that have repealed the poll tax. He expressed hope they all will eventually. He added that it also was a blatter for education. Saturday that a' car driven by McDonald overturned IO miles southeast of the panhandle community. Failed to Make Turn He said it failed to make a turn on U. S. 281, hit an embankment, plunged 50 feet and overturned three times. It was the first Cimarron county traffic fatality in 31 months. Relatives here said that McDonald had on Friday received a card notifying him to report for armed service and that Walker, after leaving the service recently, was to have returned to it soon. Funeral arrangements for the two youths will be announced later. McDonald attended L a x t o n grade school and Fitzhugh high school. Had Visited Brother He and Walker had been visiting a brother, Ray McDonald, at Keyes. Also surviving are the parents, a sister, Wynona McDonald, and two other brothers, Omega and Sampson McDonald. Walker grew up in Ada, attending the Ada schools and going from school into the army. His parents had lived years ago in the Byrds Mill neighborhood. In addition to his parents, he leaves five sisters, Tnelma and Jo Ann Walker of Lindsay, Margie Walker of Roff, Mrs. Bessie Johnson of California and Mrs. Virgie Wilson of Ada; brothers, Jack of Stonewall, William F. Walker, Joe Bob, Holly and Johnny Walker of California. Those Who Dump Trash on Roads Face Prosecution The county commissioners are declaring war on the dumping of trash on county roads ana highways. They say any one caught dumping trash on a road right of way will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and no exceptions will be made. The commissioners ask the cooperation of the entire public to help them clear up one of the worst menaces they have encountered. If you see any one dumping trash, be certain to get the car or truck license and re port it to the county commission ers or the sheriff's office. Dumpers will be prosecuted for damaging public property and endangering the health of the public. If you have any evidence against .those who have already put the trash on the roads or in the road ditches, you are asked to report it, and the guilty persons will be prosecuted. ♦ BROKEN ARROW, Okla., April 6.—(A*)—A seven-point cotton production program will be presented to farmers of Wagoner and Tulsa counties at a community hall meeting Tuesday night.

Sotting Up off Buildings Trucked ffrom Wichita To Bagio This Week It shouldn't be too long before more veterans and their families at East Central will have a place to live because portions of buildings that are to be constructed have arrived from Wichita, Kas. The first truck load of portions of the buildings arrived at the East Central campus Friday afternoon and the driver of the truck said that two additional loads were to arrive Saturday afternoon. No other trucks are scheduled to arrive here before Tuesday, when three more should arrive, after which erection of the buildings can start. The first truck load of panels lacked two of being a half of one of the buildings; but four truck loads of various equipment is required to erect a complete building. To the disgust of the fellow in charge of construction at East Central, he is going to receive enough coal burning furnaces to heat all of the buildings; says that he will have no use for that type of heating equipment as the buildings when completed will have natural gas heating facilities. The buildings are being torn down at a location where government employees had lived while working for an airplane construction company at Wichita. Furnishings for the buildings will be provided by the college; the buildings being transported here were not furnished before they were tom down.

WEATHER V I OKLAHOMA — Partly cloudy through Monday except scattered showers likely extreme north Sunday and in east Sunday night and Monday morning; continued mild Sunday, somewhat cooler Monday and in northwest Sunday night. WASHINGTON, April 6.—(JP)* —Contending "delay itself is a process of decay," President Truman today sought swifter congressional action on his recommendation for unification of the armed forces. He used an Army Day address at Chicago to put across anew the idea he first outlined to congress Dec. 19. Unification, as well as temporary extension of the draft act and universal military training are necessary, he said, if this country is to maintain its strength and leadership. Taking cognizance of the fears of both the army and the navy that one might be subordinated to the other in event of a merger, the president said: No Loss Of Identity "Unification does not mean subordination of any branch of the service. It does not mean a loss of identity. It means just what the word says—unification. "It means a concentration and cohesion of our best military thought and our best military resources, geared to maximum efficiency. It means using our experience in World War II for the peace of the world." Mr. Truman has called for a new department of national defense, headed by a single cabinet member,' with a civilian secretary and several civilian assistant secretaries. The three coordinated branches of the service — army, navy and air—each would be under an assistant secretary, with an over-all chief of staff and military commanders for each of the branches. Navy Opposed The proposal has been a point of bitter argument between the navy on one hand and the army and the army air forces on the other. Congress has held extensive hearings on the merger idea, and mulled over the proposal at length. Three days ago members of the senate military committee visited the White House to show the president a new draft of unification legislation. Chairman Elbert Thomas (D.-Utah) of the committee told newsmen he hoped the bill would be ready for senate consideration Be Open Soon lost Main Job Complatad, Raving Crews Prepare Far Second Project Two blocks of new paving on East Main between Hope and Mississippi should be ready for travel about April 25 as the paving was completed Thursday. H. S. Moore, contractor, said that about three weeks is required for new paving to mature before it is ready for traffic. The alley between the Aldridge hotel and Criswell Funeral Home may be the next strip of paving to be laid as men have been working there for several days preparing for pouring concrete. The contractor hoped that the alleys in the downtown section of town would be ready for paving so that he could move his equipment there from the east Main location. New gas lines are being laid in some instance while some new telephone lines are being laid. There are several additional paving projects that have been approved. One is at Washington school; another is on Francis from the alley on Fourteenth south to Sixteenth.

S. Highway 64 today. State Troopers E. B. Lynn and Otto Rauseh, said Ewell Rhine, 26, farmer of Redlands, Okla., was killed in the crash. He was riding in a car driven by William Troy Black, 22, Redlands. Black suffered cuts on the face. Ray Underwood, 57, also a passenger in Black's car suffered a serious head injury. Another passenger, John Anderson, 44, suffered face cuts. Both are residents of Redlands.

An informant who saw two truckloads of ingots dumped into the bay last July to conceal them from occupation forces said that Japanese army officers supervising the job had estimated there was 30,000,000,000 yen ($2,000,000,000) worth of gold, silver and platinum in the lot. .................. <t While this estimate seemed j - IT* ll I-I *or e reported, Carnival Trio Held In lases Involving Indecent Exposure Back Up That Stand Tails Huge Chicago Throng America Must Remain Strong To Preserve Peace, Protect Weak ffrom Coercion, Asks Drafft Extension; Proclaims New 'Universal' Policy CHICAGO, April 6.—(AP)—President Truman, proclaiming a new "universal" foreign policy designed to oppose aggression the world over, called today for strong military forces to back it up.

Murray School at Tish (Continued on Page IO Column I) OKLAHOMA CITY, April 6 — (ZP)—Col. Clive Murray, state director of selective service, today was elected to his former position as president of Murray state school of agriculture by the board of regents for agricultural colleges. The $325,000 in bonds for housing at Oklahoma A. and M. college were sold by the board of regents to R. J. Edwards, Inc., to bear 2.14 per cent interest. P. E. Harrill, chairman of the board, said the funds would be used to convert naval installations into apartments and housing units for faculty members and war veterans attending the college to relieve a shortage. per the Capel! Brothers Carnival that has been showing north of Ada during the past week were arrested Friday night by Ray Goodwin, Jim Rogers and Ed Dyson, members of the sheriff's force. Jene George and Carol Landers were charged by the officers with indecent exposure. Sam George was accused of procuring indecent exposure of the two women. The two women were alleged to have exposed their persons in a public place "wilfully and lewdly" and in so doing to cause many persons to be offended an annoyed, their acts of exposure being offensive to decency. They were arraigned Saturday before Percy Armstrong, justice of the peace, and entered pleas of not guilty. Later in the day they made bond of $750 each and were released. One of the officers said that early in the week, after protests had been made to them of the reported act, the show people had been warned that they would be permitted to continue only if they remained clothed. Complaints Filed On Four Saturday Range ffrom Assault and Battery to Public Drunkenness Several charges were filed by county authorities Saturday in justice courts. Among the cases were: Ottie Roberts, charged with assault and battery in using his hands and fists to inflict bodily hurt and injury on E. M. Carr; filed in justice court of Franklin Bourland. Underwood, charged with larceny of domestic animals in theft of a buckskin horse, bridle and saddle from J. A. Christian; in justice court of J. H. Byrd, Stonewall. Dan Hays and Joel Daney, public drunkenness, about a half mile south of the city limits of Ada; filed in justice court of Percy Armstrong. the actual val ut' of the ingots remained to be determined as occupation authorities disclosed the sensational find. Lt. E. V. Nielsen of Stamford, Conn., an officer in the 32nd military government, located the hidden hoard and himself brought up the first ingot—a 75-pound hunk of platinum. Dumped Off Wharf Nielsen was led by an informant to the spot where the ingots were dumped off a wharf at a former Japanese maritime school on the Tokyo waterfront. "I stripped and went down into about six feet of water," Nielsen said "and there, in three or four feet of mud, I could feel two areas—each about 20 feet square —which seemed to be paved with these blocks. "They are so locked together in the mud that we could not get any more up today, but we will resume operations Monday with diving suits and modern equipment." More For Reparations Fund The dock area meanwhile has been taken over by armed guards of the 1st cavalry division who are keeping a close watch until recovery is completed. Officers estimated it would By WILLIAM F. ARBOGAST WSAHINGTON, April 6.—(JP) —For the first time since its original enactment in 1940, the draft law is likely to become a red-hot political issue in this year's congressional elections. That became apparent today as the house military committee indicated a determination to throw into the lap of the new congress the entire matter of peacetime extension of the selective service act. The act expires on May 15 of this year. Should congress go along with the committee, many members believe, the proposition of whether to keep the law on the books through 1947 will be one of the first demanding a decision from the 80th congress when it convenes in January. And because of intense public interest, they believe, the voters will demand that candidates for election to the 80th congress take a stand in their campaign. Current indications are the house committee next Tuesday will urge congress to do one of two things: Keep the law on the books until next February 15, with a ban I against practically all new indue- nitltm lions but a requirement for continued registration of draft eligibles. Or extend the law as it now stands, probably until March, 1947, but with a limit of 18 months on the service of any inductee. Meanwhile President Truman said that he is opposed to a pending congressional program to extend the draft for only nine months. He told a news conference in Chicago that he considered it necessary to call men for another year so that men who have been overseas an undue length of time can be brought home. a Mr. Truman called for passage of legislation extending the selective service act another year, armed forces unification and universal training, which have stout opposition in congress, anti then, departing from his prepared text, declared: No Matter For Politics "Nobody should play politics with the national safety." He did not elaborate. The president was cheered when he concluded his talk and interrupted by applause on other occasions, once when he paid tribute to Franklin D. Roosevelt, his predecessor. Mr. Truman reserved for tho United States the right to project itself into any situation where outside rivalries might endanger the security of any nation and endanger the peace of all. In the strongest language he has ever used as Franklin D. Roosevelt's successor as democracy's spokesman, the gray-hair-ed Missourian told thousands in Chicago's Soldier Field: "We cannot one day proclaim out intention to prevent unjust aggression and oppression in the world and the next day call for immediate scrapping of our military might. Sees Fifth Infantry March He saw some of that might earlier when 14,000 troops of the famous Fifth (Red Diamond) infantry passed by a Michigan avenue reviewing stand in which he stood with Gov.

I tweaked mine to shut off a lot of the standard features.
Update it, that's what I did on Wednesday.
Go to the control panel and find the 'Device Manager' then click on 'Display adapters' and once there you should be fine, although you must run it as an administrator.
Have you tried it then?
I find Vista insulting. It exerts this big brother control freakery and makes it hard for me to actually do anything useful.I was reconfiguring the networking on a laptop for someone the other day and the number of mouse clicks and "are you sures?" made the experience wholly unenjoyable.

I apologize for the writing quality. I tend to like to present data. My analysis and commentary tends to be minimal, stating the obvious and letting the reader speculate as to what exactly the data means. Insiders can often explain patterns better than outsiders and for the Harry Potter fandom, I'm definitely an outsider.
A friend of mine has been busy pulling data off FanFiction.Net this past week. He found some rather interesting things:
- 8,566 Twilight stories on FanFiction.Net with no recorded reviews, 117,578 stories with at least 1 review. 93% of all twilight fics get reviewed at least once.
- Master of the Universe has28,690 reviews on FanFiction.Net takes gold for most reviewed Twilight story on site.
- 19 Twilight stories on FanFiction.Net have 10,000+ reviews.
- Chunin Exam Day, a Naruto fanfic on FanFiction.Net, has over 10,000 reviews: 72 chapters, updated 4 days ago, 313k words and 10311 reviews http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3929411/Chunin_Exam_Day/1/ . It is the top Naruto story.
- The top 3 fandoms by stories on FanFiction.Net: Harry Potter [book] (437,590), Naruto [anime] (221,117), and Twilight [book] (126,590).
After he got that data, he turned to look at Harry Potter. 1.2% of the total stories are missing so there is a certain margin of error to consider. That said, the average Harry Potter story on FanFiction.Net has 31.8 reviews. The top ten most reviewed stories have review totals way below that of their Twilight counterparts, which has its top stories with 10,000+ reviews. Harry Potter's top stories in contrast have only one story with 10,000 plus reviews. The top nine fall in the range of 6,200 and 9,300 reviews. These stories are:

These stories are not short and were often written over the course of several years. The average story on this list has 74.8 chapters. Some of that is a bit skewed as one story has 251 chapters. If that data point is removed, the average length is 55.2 chapters. To put this into a different context, the average story is 289,902 words with the shortest one clocking in at a measly 174,735 words and the longest one at 396,525 words.
These stories were generally not started recently. The earliest was published in 2003, one published in 2004, three published in 2005, one in 2006, two in 2007 and two in 2008. Half of these stories are complete and three of the incomplete stories look like they are still being actively worked on.
Gen stories look like they have a slight edge in getting large numbers of reviews with four of the stories on this list falling into this category. Of the remaining six, three are het (2 Harry/Ginny, 1 Snape/Hermione) and three are slash (1 Harry/Draco, 2 Snape/Harry). If you're looking to repeat this formula to launch yourself to a huge number of reviews, this may not be a helpful variable to focus on.
The authors of these stories tend to not be very prolific in writing other stories, with the average total number of stories by authors on this list at fifteen. If you remove the author who wrote 57 stories, the average comes down to ten. Some of the authors who have very few stories often follow up with missing scenes and rewrites of their work. These tend to have substantially fewer chapters, and a smaller word count. As these seem like important variables towards getting high review counts, that probably hurts their ability to get as many reviews on their other works. A small number of stories though probably keeps their audience focused on their main work, giving them reason to keep tuning in: The reader knows what they like and they likely won't be turned off by discovering other works by the author that diverge from their primary interest.
Beyond the data regarding the most reviewed Harry Potter stories on FanFiction.Net, story and review data was obtained and made into the pretty chart below. The total number reviews for a month is based on the date the story was published, not the date that the review was left. So our Harry Potter story that was published in December 2004 with 11,000 reviews that was last updated in September 2009? All those reviews are counted for December 2004.There are certain peaks and troughs. Some of this can probably be explained by the sheer volume of stories leading to additional reviews. As people lose interest, less stories are written and fewer reviews are given. Stories posted in 2009 are likely to not have multiple chapters for them to get huge numbers of reviews yet. Or, quite possibly, interest in reviewing new one shot Harry Potter stories has totally evaporated.
Edited to add: The following chart shows the total Harry Potter stories on FanFiction.Net. There are some big jumps but no really big ones.

A clearly drunk man ambled slowly out of the door, supporting his fellow who was gurgling some misshapen song or other, and veered dangerously towards the prince, swaying precariously on his feet. Arthur dodged smartly out the way. The man leered at him before sluggishly merging with the sea of people and vanishing.
Pulling a disgusted face, Arthur turned back to the tavern. Wondering if someone in there might be able to help him, he stepped through the doors.
He was immediately hit by an intoxicating stench of alcohol and smoke. Dozens of men sat all around the grimy tables, either smoking from long pipes or taking sips of ale from the flagons in their hands that left them with a thin line of foam on their lip.
Not wishing to mix with them unless necessary, Arthur cautiously picked his way through the throng towards the bar.
There was no one behind the counter, and after a minute or so of nobody appearing, Arthur became frustrated and rapped his knuckles hard on the wood. Suddenly, a wrinkly head leapt up.
"Ah," he said as he produced a pipe from the inside of his jacket, popped it in his mouth and lit it before beginning to puff away. "I'm George, young sir. What's your poison?"
"I wasn't planning on staying," Arthur said, watching as a man sitting on one of the seats by the bar toppled over after having belched loudly. "I was just wondering if anyone could tell me about a ship that was here a while ago."
"Go on," George said, resuming his smoking, sticking the pipe into his mouth and causing more billowing clouds of grey fog to fill the air.
Coughing and spluttering, Arthur waved the mist away. After a great deal of flapping, he could actually see the bartended again and, trying his best to ignore the toxic fumes from the pipe, he continued.
"My friend was press-ganged and taken away to work on a ship called The Emrys," Arthur had to shout now because a small row had erupted in the back of the tavern. "Do you know where it was headed?"
"Pardon?" the bartended seemed not to have heard and leaned his ear towards Arthur.
"The Emrys," the prince repeated, "where was it heading?"
"What was that? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" George put a hand to his ear and squinted his eyes, trying to listen.
"DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE EMRYS?" Arthur yelled into his ear, feeling his temper kindled.
"Ah, yes, The Emrys," the man said, sucking thoughtfully on his pipe. "Beautiful ship t'was. You know what I heard?" he leant forward again and beckoned Arthur towards him, as if about to divulge in a great secret. "I heard they were press-ganging again to get members for the crew."
"Yes, yes!" Arthur began to grow hopeful. "My friend was taken. Where did the ship go?"
The man was clearly trying to recall a long and forgotten memory as he finally removed that awful pipe from his mouth and tapped it on his chin. Arthur bit his lip and waited impatiently, rocking slightly on his heels.
"THE MOUNTAINS OF BERWYN!" George suddenly yelled, scaring Arthur to death.
"The mountains of Berwyn," the bartended repeated. "Its where the Emrys was heading."
"Are you sure?" excitement began to rise in Arthur's heart.
"Absolutely," the man looked quite pleased with himself.
"Where is it?" Arthur asked, leaning his head in on a hand as George vanished under the counter again and reappeared, holding a map.
"These are the mountains, right here," he said, spreading the map out for Arthur to see. "Odd place though, if you ask me. Legend has it, that there's a great deal of magic surrounding that place. And I wouldn't argue with it if I were you," he shuddered. "Really odd place, that."
Wondering why the ship would be heading there, Arthur turned the map around and looked at it carefully for a moment. If it was indeed a magical place, then Merlin could be in danger…
What if he didn't get there in time? What if he was too late? What if Merlin died some unnatural death? What if –?
"So, you want a drink or what?" George dragged him away from his frantic thoughts while rubbing a mug with a grimy rag.]
Arthur stared at him with wild, terrified eyes before realizing he had only asked if he wanted a drink, and quickly calmed himself down.
"I…err…no," he muttered, feeling flustered. "Can I have this?" he gestured at the map.
The man nodded so Arthur folded it up again and stuffed it into his jacket. Deciding it was time to leave (and especially now yet another drunkard was staggering his way), Arthur quickly beat a hasty retreat and soon found himself out side the stifling pub one again.
He was going to have to hire a ship if he was to pursue The Emrys, so he joined the bustling crowd again, and muscled his way to the centre where he was driven along like a twig in a vast stream. After some time, he was brought to a boat hiring shop, but all that was outside it were rowing boats. Arthur had no intentions of braving the sea in one of them, so he moved on. But it seemed that either no one had the type of ship he wanted or if they did, wouldn't lend him their services, so he was left rather forlorn by the edge of the crowd, sitting amongst a few barrels.
What good was he, the prince wondered, if he couldn't even hire a boat? Merlin was depending on him for rescue; he was trusting in the prince to find him. Arthur couldn't let him down, yet there he was, almost ready to give up hope. He felt useless and utterly wretched just sitting there, staring at the passers by of which there were many.
Too busy wallowing in self-pity and concern for his friend, Arthur didn't notice the parrot land on a crate behind him and begin to preen its scarlet feathers.
The prince fell of his barrel in surprise.
"Oh, sorry, sir," a young, sandy haired boy apologized, popping out from nowhere and grabbing his parrot. "Wait…" he peered closer at Arthur, "aren't you that prince?"
With a jolt, Arthur recognized the boy as Kaelan – one of the party of three who had taken on board himself and Merlin after they had resurfaced from the ancient temple all those weeks ago.
"Hey, Mum, Dad! Its Arthur!" Kaelan yelled over his shoulder.
John and Matilda, both as big and round as ever, pushed their way through the crowd. Matilda was swinging a basket full of chickens and John was covered in every type of hat imaginable. Arthur decided not to ask why.
"Aah," John cried, leaping towards the prince and pumping his arm up and down, the hats shaking violently, "how are you? What are you doing in these parts?"
Arthur nursed his throbbing hand as John finally released it. Before he went on to explain, he had to take a deep breath. He wasn't sure why. Maybe it was mentioning his friend, the friend he may never see again.
"You remember Merlin?" he asked quietly. Everyone nodded his or her heads, all grinning and oblivious. "He was…he was kidnapped by press-gangers. I'm going to find him."
The grins slid off everyone's faces. Even Goldrush the parrot let out a gloomy squeak.
"I'm so sorry to hear that…" Matilda came forward and, being the gentle soul she was, wrapped an arm around Arthur's shoulder. "Where was he taken?"
"The Emrys. It's taking him to the mountains of Berwyn," Arthur informed her, feeling slightly shy. "I'm trying to hire a ship, but no one will take me…"
"Well," John said thoughtfully, "you can always come with us. We've just come in for supplies and we'll be off tomorrow. Why don't you tag along?"
"Really?" Arthur looked up with both hope and surprise.
"Yeah, why not?" John said, having to grab a hat as the wind blew it off. "We were just heading back now. You coming?"
"Yes! Yes! Uhh…I mean, thank you," Arthur said, grabbing his rucksack and beginning to follow the three as they set off down the street.The prince could barely believe his luck!

Faeritayl -- Stealing Other's Skills. Brilliant!
Hahahaha! He fell for it--literally! That was the last time they let their magic carpet go exploring on its own, Faeritayls was sure. Though he'd hated wrestling the dumb thing, it'd proven its worth.
"Good evening, Prince Ali. Gladdened to see me?"
He rubbed his mop-top and gave a look somewhere between skepticism and dread.
"That's it? You...you don't have any comebacks?"
"Faeritayl!" he hissed in realization.
Faeritayl frowned and then grabbed him by the back of his prince outfit, "Real original. Didn't that genie teach you anything about clever quips?"
"Where are you taking me?" Aladdin demanded, struggling as he was dragged towards a door.
"Now why would I tell you that?" he smirked, "Unlike all the other boneheads I worked with, I'm not the type to blurt out my whole brilliant plan to my victims. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't a better motivational speech."
Faeritayl opened the door and Aladdin cried out as he was tossed inside just like the others. The evil sorcerer slamemd it shut and then turned to place his hands on his lower back and stretch. It popped in several places and he gave a heavy sigh of satisfaction. Being an evil villian could be such a chore sometimes.
He left the room and tromped up the stone steps past all the other rooms and to the topmost one. Only then did he start pacing.
Now what? His plan had been absolutely, positively brilliant up until bringing them to the castle. That hadn't taken as long as he thought so...now what?
The rambunctious outburst of jeers and squabblings from below brought his train of thought to a devastating crash. Gah! One couldn't even hear themselves think around this place. Stomping towards the other door he yanked it open and hollared with all the authority he could muster down the staircase, "BE QUIET YOU FOOLS!!"
The minions immediatly stopped their violent arguments and went back to simply eating their grub. With a sneer, Faeritayl slammed the door shut to illustrate his point and resumed his pacing.
He needed some more efficient workers. Sure those...whatever-they-were were loyal little fellows, more than willing to do anything you asked them so long as you scared the wrinkles out of their snouts beforehand. No wonder Maleficent had asked permission to use them. Permission which he'd granted. She was, afterall, 'The Mistress of All Evil'--you'd think she'd get somewhere
he almost wished they were a little rebellious. At least then they'd use their own brains instead of clinging to the nerve-ends of his. But Ursula's eels were destroyed (plus they had given him a heavy dosage of the heebie-jeebies), Jafar's lamp was lost somewhere in his closet which he was too lazy to go clean out, the mirror held to no specific loyalty, Rapunzel's old hair now smelled of noxious gas, and he didn't have any evil stepsisters or hunky hotheads on his side anymore. All he had was a lousy dungeon full of straping young, homesick boys...
Wait! That was it!
Faeritayl broke from his pacing and hurried towards his dusty shelves of books. Fingering them until he came to one about brainwashing, he tore it open and searched its pages hungrily.
At this pace he had a while before the princessess came to the feeble rescue so until then, he'd turn these pretty boys' skills on his side; make them pay for the damage they caused him like peasant boys who had trampled a pumpking patch.

We've all made the assumptions about a person based on whether they own a cat or a dog. But do these stereotypes have any basis in real life?
The folks at Hunch.com set out to answer that question by polling nearly 200,000 pet owners on whether they have a cat or a dog and then crossing that information with general lifestyle question the respondents also answered.
Read on for the results of the survey.
The word is out amongst stray pets: Miranda Lambert's house is the place to be. The singer welcomed yet another stray over the weekend. This soft white kitty just showed up at the home of Lambert and husband Blake Shelton and brightened the 'Baggage Claim' singer's day.
Taylor Swift's new cat, Meredith, is living the good life. At only a few weeks old, her cuddly pet has been pictured catnapping through private jet rides, romping around green rooms and purring in hotel suite beds without so much as one No. 1 single or even an award nomination under her tiny belt. Yeah, that little feline has it pretty good.
What's cuter than a cat named Jumbo Pillow eating pumpkin strips while dressed in a pumpkin costume? Honestly, nothing. But if you don't believe us, feel free to take a look for yourself.
It's a classic stare-down: cat stares at dog, dog stares at cat and viewer stares at screen wondering what the heck is taking them so long. Come on fellas! Out of your respective corners and let's get this fight going.
Cat versus dog. Who you got?

Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA
INTRODUCTION:The diagnosis of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease is especially difficult in patients with underlying chronic lung diseases. Mycobacterium szulgai is a rare cause of NTM lung disease. We present a patient with essentially untreated M. szulgai infection for at least nine years resulting in severe cavitary lung disease.
CASE PRESENTATION:The patient is a 58 year old man with COPD referred in January 2006 with cavitary lung disease, chronic intermittent fevers, night sweats, and a productive cough. He had lost 25 pounds unintentionally over the last 18 months. The patient recalled taking five drug therapy for tuberculosis many years ago but had discontinued therapy after two weeks. He had rare and erratic medical follow-up and received no other treatment. A PPD skin test in September 2005 was negative. A chest radiograph revealed extensive, predominantly left sided cavitary lung disease. An older film from 2001 was obtained and revealed only a solitary moderate sized cavitary lesion in the left lung apex. Expectorated sputum was smear positive for AFB and he was started on four drug anti-tuberculous therapy. Subsequently, his previous records were obtained revealing growth of M. szulgai from sputum in 1997. The organism was sensitive to ethambutol, rifampin, clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin, and high doses of INH, cycloserine and streptomycin. Based on MICs, he was placed on clarithromycin (500 mg BID) and ethambutol (1200 mg daily). The AFB cultures eventually grew 4+ M. szulgai at two weeks. After three months of treatment, he reported complete resolution of his systemic symptoms and had regained 25 pounds. Follow up chest radiographs demonstrated clearing of the parenchymal infiltrates, but with persistent volume loss and cavitary lesions. Repeat AFB cultures after three months of treatment were negative. He continues on two drug therapy with plans to complete a year of therapy after his cultures have turned negative.
DISCUSSIONS:Mycobacterium szulgai is a very rare pathogen with only about 36 cases of pulmonary disease reported in humans. It represents <0.5% of all NTM isolates and is primarily a pulmonary pathogen, although isolated from other sites. The typical patient is a middle aged man with risk factors including smoking, alcohol and COPD (1). It is usually associated with disease, and therefore requires therapy whenever isolated and should not be considered a contaminant or colonizer. This case represents the longest known period of essentially untreated M. szulgai infection (1997-2006) and highlights the indolent yet progressive nature of this infection. The optimum treatment regimen for M. szulgai is not established. Historically, it is known to respond well to anti-tuberculous treatment, in three and four drug combinations, with some reporting success with two drugs. Fluoroquinolones and macrolides also have reported efficacy. Our patient has had a good clinical, radiologic and microbiologic response with a two drug regimen of clarithromycin and ethambutol. Brown and colleagues found clarithromycin to have MICs of 0.5 μg/ml against 100% of M. szulgai (2).
CONCLUSION:M. szulgai lung infection can have an indolent yet progressive course. Its isolation is uniformly associated with disease and therefore requires treatment. Clarithromycin seems particularly effective and should be considered as part of the treatment regimen for M. szulgai lung disease.

KINGS COLLEGE LONDON -New project to identify how online rumours affect our health
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 21 February 2014 Release date- 20022014 - In the digital age, rumours - both true and false - spread fast, often with far reaching consequences.
Online reviews of drugs, access to advice or diagnostic information have changed the relationship between patients and their doctors.
In order to map how rumours spread through social media translate into patient behaviour, researchers at King's College London are part of a newEU project called PHEME.
The three year project is an international collaboration led by the University of Sheffield. The project will first involve building a system to automatically verify online rumours as they spread around the globe.
It will classify online rumours into four categories: speculation, controversy, misinformation (something untrue spread unwittingly) and disinformation (something untrue spread with malicious intent). It will also automatically categorise rumours to assess their authority, such as news outlets, journalists, experts, eye witnesses, members of the public or automated 'bots'. By looking at users' history and background, it will help spot where Twitter accounts have been created purely to spread false information.
Researchers at King's College London will then use the system to understand how online rumours and other social media occurences make their way into the clinical setting, by comparing data from the system to electronic medical records.
The work at King's will be led by Professor Robert Stewart and Dr Anna Kolliakou from the Institute of Psychiatry.
Professor Stewart says: 'Public health professionals have started to undertake social media surveillance for various purposes, for example real-time tracking of flu epidemics or examining attitudes towards vaccination. In this context, truthfulness, rumours and spam become a major challenge. Given the volume of content and the speed at which it spreads, there is a strong need for automated algorithms to detect rumours, to help public health researchers pull together information from online platforms.' The researchers will investigate topics including: Legal highs & drugs: The temporal relationship between the emergence of new licit and illicit drugs in social media and their appearance in clinical records.
Patient care: The impact of mental-health concerns and rumours, such as those relating to medication, on clinical presentations and prescribing practices Teenage self-harm: The impact of self-harm and suicide occurrences in social media and mental health in adolescents and young adults.
The ability to spot social media occurrences as they appear could provide alerts to health services of issues that may be raised by patients. Additionally, timely national media interventions could also be implemented to ensure that online information is as accurate and well-informed as possible. It is acknowledged that online material might contain useful new information which requires further investigation - for example, early indications of medication side-effects that would otherwise be missed.
Dr Kolliakou adds: 'Increasing access to information online and the rise of social media have at the same time empowered patients with information about their conditions and available treatments, but also exposed them to more false information. PHEME will provide clinicians and public health practitioners with much needed 'rumour intelligence'' The case studies carried out at King's will use anonymised electronic medical records from the Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system at the National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR BRC) for Mental Health at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and King's College London.
The work at King's is one of two PHEME evaluations in real-world domains. The system will also be tested for digital journalism by the online arm of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation, swissinfo.ch.
The project is a collaboration between the University of Sheffield, King's College London, the Universities of Warwick, Saarland (Germany) and MODUL University Vienne (Austria), as well as four companies, ATOS (Spain), iHub (Kenya), Ontext and swissinfo.ch (c) 2014 Electronic News Publishing -

Reflection Thailand
So the time has come, now we have to leave, It's been 90 days already, real hard to believe. We explored so very much and felt so very free, Busy Bangkok and elephants in Kanchanaburi. Naughty little monkeys running havoc around the town, Posing with sleeping tigers that didn't make a sound. Amazingly wonderful waterfalls we climbed to to the top, New Years in Chiang Mai where the party never stops. The lady boys and locals who were all really very sweet, All the delicious ...
Successful visa run!
Yay! I successfully got my Thai visa and will be back in Chiang Mai tomorrow morning! I walked around Vientiane a bit. I got a ride from a random Korean ahjumma I met at a Korean supermarket where I was asking for directions. She said tuk tuks in Vientiane are really overpriced, and the sidewalks aren't well developed around the city. She said she's amazed by tourists who walk around in the heat with little shades to go around! It was so nice ...
American Geography and Thai Silk
... we knew we had to take advantage of this shopping opportunity. Along with a myriad of gifts, Scott bought an awesome Thai silk shirt.
When we got home that night at 7:30pm, we were greeted by our youngest brother running up to us, yelling, "Good morning!" We taught him to say, "good morning," to us every morning, but I guess that he generalized it to just the normal greeting to say to us. We all had ...
Fever boat
Ok, so the boat journey wasn't quite what we were expecting. Apart from waking up with a temperature of 101.3 degrees and having to brave travelling none-the-less, so as to not miss the opportunity to sail*, the "slow boat" was remarkably fast and considerably smaller that the canal-like barges we were expecting. In actual fact, we were crammed onto two low benches running the length of the narrow boat; and for the next four hours interchanged between a state ...
Watt shall we look at?
... isn't just spiritual, but also communal. Four and a bunch of friends from school set up a stove and cook up fried chicken, some of it goes in plastic baggies to give the monks and the rest is given to the others that have come to pray and be blessed at the temple. Others do the same and there is a variety of soy milk, iced drinks, rice, meat and other brekkie delights to nosh on.
