BeschreibungAn understanding of mechanisms underlying seizure disorders depends critically on the insights provided by model systems. In particular with the development of cellular, molecular, and genetic investigative tools, there has been an explosion of basic epilepsy research. Models of Seizures and Epilepsy brings together, for the first time in 30 years, an overview of the most widely-used models of seizures and epilepsy. Chapters cover a broad range of experimental approaches (from in vitro to whole animal preparations), a variety of epileptiform phenomenology (including burst discharges and seizures), and suggestions for model characterization and validation, such as electrographic, morphologic, pharmacologic, and behavioral features. Experts in the field provide not only technical reviews of these models but also conceptual critiques - commenting on the strengths and limitations of these models, their relationship to clinical phenomenology, and their value in developing a better understanding and treatments. Models of Seizures and Epilepsy is a valuable, practical reference for investigators who are searching for the most appropriate laboratory models for addressing key questions in the field. It also provides an important background for physicians, fellows, and students, offering insight into the potential for advances in epilepsy research.
The first comprehensive description of animal models of epilepsy since the early 1970s
Comprehensive analysis of "What the models model" to guide the selection of each model, and what specific questions it will answer
Elegant examples of the use of novel technologies that can be applied in experimental epilepsy research
World expertopinions on the clinical relevance of each model
PortraitDr. Mosh is a professor of neurology, neuroscience, and pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He is the Director of Child Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology and the recipient of a Martin A. and Emily L. Fisher fellowship in Neurology and Pediatrics at Albert Einstein. Dr. Mosh received his M.D. from the National University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece in 1972. He trained in pediatrics at the University of Maryland and in neurology at Albert Einstein. Since 1979, his research has focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying age-related differences in epilepsy in humans and in animal models. During the last ten years, his interest has turned to elucidating the subcortical circuitry involved in the control of seizures as a function of age and the consequences of seizures on the developing brain.
Pressestimmen"This book is an invaluable resource for those interested in the details of epilepsy. It will be an excellent resource for all neurologists and neurosurgeons involved in research or clinical treatment for the disease." --NEUROSURGERY QUATERLY (Mar-May 2006) "5 Stars - This is a superb and current compendium of selected models of epilepsy and their utility in investigating the various mechanisms and manifestations of epilepsy. ...This book should be on the shelf as a resource for all investigators of the mechanisms of epilepsy whether they utilize cells, slices, mice, humans, or machines. It fills an important void in the review literature that has not been comprehensively addressed for some time." --Gregory Kent Bergery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, in DOODY'S (May 2006)

Eric B & Rakim
4th & Broadway
Paid In Full Deluxe 3LP
↳ limited edition reissue featuring b-sides, remixes and dub versions
If you don't have this, you need it. If you don't know this, you are ten years old and we forgive you. Just in case you forgot, "Chinese Arithmetic" is one of the dopest old-school DJ songs (but supposedly Eric B didn't do the cuts?). Eric B looks funny on the cover holding all of $60, but you gotta love the Dapper Dan Gucci suits and super dookie rope chains. Along with the original album, this 3 LP version features numerous remixes and dub versions that were released around the time Paid In Full dropped. If you're not familiar, head straight for Cold Cut's "Seven Minutes Of Music" remix of the title track. It's a legendary remix, commissioned by the label, that apparently was not well received by Rakim. In the end it got them more attention overseas and still stands out today. Paid In Full is one of those hip hop classics that sparked a million imitators and cemented Eric B. & Rakim's legacy as pioneers of the genre. This edition is a must have for any hip hop head. Limited edition 3LP pressing. Recommended.

More than two years ago, Westpac – a bank in New Zealand – rolled out its "Cash Tank" feature for mobile bankers. Suddenly, customers could view key information like account balances without needing to log in (needless to say, it was and is opt-in-only). This new mobile banking feature immediately made a splash and was hailed as a small-but-impressive innovation. Other banks – such as Société Générale in France and Bank of the West in the US – offer similar pre-login information features.
This led folks like me to wonder: How might digital teams at banks take pre-login information further or make it even better?
Great digital strategy is often about pushing the limits – and not just in big ways. So Citi's recent update to its smartphone apps is noteworthy for the bank's decision to push the idea of pre-login information even further with Citi Mobile Snapshot. Citi customers who bank via their mobile phones can view not only balances but recent transactions without the hassle of logging in.
We spoke with Andres Wolberg-Stok, Global Head of Emerging Platforms and Services who shared with us a diagram that demonstrates the evolution of its mobile banking effort before and after Citi Mobile Snapshot (see below).

Over the past year, we've told banks that some of them would become custodians. We've told insurers that many of them would be forced to specialise. We've told wealth management firms that many would shrink. We've done this to show them how digital disruption could savage retail financial services, just as it has done with the music and publishing industries.
But we don't want to be just the bearers of bad news: We want to help you deal with new players like peer-to-peer lending platforms and even Google entering retail financial services. And to be fair, it's not all bad news. There are plenty of companies out there using digital innovation to meet their customers' financial needs in new and better ways. Take for example BBVA which has brought its customers the virtual assistant Lola, video banking, and the crowdfunding platform called Suma. And BBVA hasn't stopped here. The Bank is currently running the sixth edition of its Open Talent competition for start-ups most likely to affect financial services.

Quick launcher for the desktop
Desktop icons are not the only way to launch programs; in fact, a kicker that is not hidden by a muddle of windows is often preferable. Tablaunch is a flexible and attractive program launcher for the Linux desktop.
The kickers that come with the major desktop environments are full-fledged universal tools that offer a variety of features, including pag ers, menus, and clocks. This was too much of a good thing for developer D. Lam; as a user who preferred a simple window manager, he did not fancy the idea of cluttering his machine with the KDE or Gnome libraries. While shopping around for an alternative, D. Lam dis covered YeahLaunch, the launcher belonging to the YeahWM [1] window manager. This is a kicker that is easy on resources, and it automatically hides in the background when you don't need it. The only drawback, from D. Lam's point of view, was YeahLaunch's very plain appearance. This prompted him to fire up his editor and develop a new kicker based on YeahLaunch, which he dubbed Tablaunch [2]. Although Tab launch is still easy on memory, the new kicker has vastly improved optics, add ing options such as a zoom feature that activates when users hover the mouse over an icon. But if you prefer a more staid approach, Tablaunch is still an interesting option. If asked to do so, Tab launch will give you simple pushbuttons rather than icons, and that should keep even the strictest of purists happy.

Zoolander 2 Parent Review
The best fate anyone could wish for this production is that it will be cast off as fast as last year's fashion faux pas.
Movie Review
The original Zoolander released just days after the fall of the World Trade Center in New York City. Poking fun of the fashion industry, it didn't do well at the box office. Yet, like a bottle of Kool-Aid turning into reasonably fine wine, the film has garnered a cult following and an appreciation for some of its witty lines—both likely reasons why Ben Stiller felt it was a good idea to create a sequel fifteen years later. Frankly, he should have walked away from the original and been grateful for his unexpected win instead of directing and starring in what is possibly the greatest waste of filmmaking money and cameo faces the industry has seen in some time.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
The movie begins with Derek Zoolander (Stiller), the idiot fashion model, recovering from a personal loss linked to the plot of the first movie that's far too ridiculous to detail. (If you haven't seen that one and still insist on watching Number 2, you may want to do your homework first.) Fifteen years older, the has-been decides to revive his career after a strange plea, à la Star Wars, is delivered to him. Fortuitously, the same holograph message is also sent to his old buddy Hansel (Owen Wilson).
Finding a reason to get these two buffoons back on the runway isn't easy, so Stiller's three screenwriters cooked up a conspiracy theory involving an Interpol agent named Valentina, played by Penelope Cruz. A former swimsuit model who was never taken seriously in the industry because her breasts were too big (cue Stiller's and Wilson's admiring stare), she's convinced the pair of failed fashionistas are the key to finding a serial killer who has murdered some of the world's most famous pop stars. (The opening minutes of the film feature Justin Bieber being gunned down.)
The way-too-long sequence showing Bieber's body being riddled with dozens of bullets is the high-water mark for depicted violence in this movie, although there is discussion about human sacrifice too and some images implying a heart has been pulled out of a living body. Of course, there is lots of other madcap mayhem that's so nonsensical it makes the Three Stooges look like Harvard boys. Meanwhile sexual discussion pervades this script that depends on crudities and innuendo to generate humor. Orgies, bisexuality, intersexuality and bestiality are only a few topics joked about. A variety of moderate and mild profanities, including a sexual expletive and a finger gesture, are included as well.
Perhaps the real conspiracy in Zoolander 2 is how Stiller sacrificed the script in favor of finding a moment to parade all of his famous friends (Sting, Susan Sarandon, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Marc Jacobs to name a few). Fragments of story are thrown on the screen in a manner that seems far more intent on increasing the ratio of cameos per minute than driving the plot toward a plausible conclusion. The few positive messages for young audiences—like not judging the career potential of a swimsuit model by her chest size, or discriminating against fat people—are lost in the tediousness of the rest of the tripe. The best fate anyone could wish for this production is that it will be cast off as fast as last year's fashion faux pas.Directed by Ben Stiller. Starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, Penélope Cruz. Running time: 102 minutes. Theatrical release February 12, 2016. Updated May 26, 2016

This movie features many celebrity cameos. How many did you recognize? Why do you think famous people would agree to appear in a movie? How does the movie's content reflect on their image?
The film also includes many product placements—scenes where brand named merchandise is shown. Why are deals made between manufactures and moviemakers? How is this inclusion similar to the celebrity cameos?
Several of the characters shown here are going through an identify crisis. How do issues like body image, abandonment, and lack of father figures tie into their problems? Where could you turn if you were also asking the question, "Who am I?"

Skip to comments.Q3 GDP estimate rises to 2.7% on govt spending
Posted on 11/29/2012 10:23:58 AM PST by SeekAndFind
When I wrote about the advance estimate from the Commerce Department on Q3 GDP hitting 2.0%, some commenters warned that the report --- which came out just before the election --- would be sharply revised after it. They were right, although the revision went in the opposite direction they suspected. The revised Q3 GDP number jumped upward to 2.7%, the best quarter of the year, although still substantially a stagnation number, especially when one sees the source of the growth:
Real gross domestic product --- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States --- increased at an annual rate of 2.7 percent in the third quarter of 2012 (that is, from the second quarter to the third quarter), according to the "second' estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 1.3 percent.
The GDP estimate released today is based on more complete source data than were available for the "advance" estimate issued last month. In the advance estimate, the increase in real GDP was 2.0 percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).
The increase in real GDP in the third quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), private inventory investment, federal government spending, residential fixed investment, and exports that were partly offset by negative contributions from nonresidential fixed investment and state and local government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased slightly.
Actually, though, the numbers aren't quite that good internally. Growth in consumer spending was only 1.4%, although durable goods spending rose 8.7%. Exports of goods and services only went up 1.1%. Real final sales of domestic product — the actual growth in end-user spending, as opposed to inventory growth — went up just 1.9%.
So what did go up? Government spending, emphasis mine:
Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 9.5 percent in the third quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent in the second. National defense increased 12.9 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent. Nondefense increased 3.0 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.4 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment decreased 0.4 percent, compared with a decrease of 1.0 percent.
Even Reuters couldn't muster up much enthusiasm for these numbers:
Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.7 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said on Thursday, as faster inventory accumulation and export growth offset weak consumer spending and the first drop in business investment in more than a year.
While the growth pace was much quicker than the 2.0 percent rate the government estimated last month and the best since the fourth quarter of 2011, it was hardly a sign of strength in the economy given the boost from restocking and weaker consumer spending.
That will likely be lost in the fourth quarter and inventories may be a drag on growth, which is already being weighed down by fears of austerity, known as the fiscal cliff.
In other economic news, the rate of new jobless claims returned to its 18-month level as the effects of Hurricane Sandy dissipated:
In the week ending November 24, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 393,000, a decrease of 23,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 416,000. The 4-week moving average was 405,250, an increase of 7,500 from the previous week's revised average of 397,750.
The advance seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate was 2.6 percent for the week ending November 17, unchanged from the prior week's unrevised rate. The advance number for seasonally adjusted insured unemployment during the week ending November 17 was 3,287,000, a decrease of 70,000 from the preceding week's revised level of 3,357,000. The 4-week moving average was 3,296,250, an increase of 6,250 from the preceding week's revised average of 3,290,000.
The data table at the end shows the major decreases in state numbers from the previous reporting week, which is dominated by Sandy states — except for California, whose decrease in new claims goes unexplained. Basically, the two reports indicate that the stagnation status quo continues.
The inflation numbers are reported both with and without 'food and energy'. Can't they report GDP ex- gov't expenditures to make the real state of the economy clearer?
Or that would only happen if Romney won the election?
government spending should not be part of GDP calculations, because it is a net negative on the economy.
Adding government spending to GDP is like including the withholding taxes as take home pay.
It's like taking out cash advances on your credit cards and then saying "I had a good week this week"
It is also reported out in an irresponsible way. Reporting straight percentages is highly misleading. If GDP rises.7% but the population grew by 2%, then really the economy only grew by.7%. A more honest reporting would be GDP per capita.
Which reminds me once again why the Austrian School rejects measuring economies out of hand. All you need to know is that a free economy will grow, a managed one will stagnate.
Does anyone have the debt/gdp figures for Q3 2012?
As in the debt increased by $2.63 for $1 gdp (Q2 2012?)
Personal consumption expenditures grew at measly rate and the KC Fed Index fell to its lowest level since July 2009.
GDP per capita is more honest than raw GDP given that it takes into account population growth but it is most defiantly still subject to the changes in the value of the dollar(IE inflation).
In other-words the GDP per capita would go up if the value of the dollar went down and the economy when nowhere as fast.
A simple GDP per captia analyzes would produce a chart like this:
Which is technically true in terms of U.S. dollars but a dollar in 1960 is worth $7.49 in 2011.
So a 1960 GDP per captia of around 15k is actually 112k in today's dollars. Yes we really have lost that much wealth. Just think a man uses to be able to support a family on a signal income where as now it takes two. We work a lot harder for a lot less than our parents & grandparents did. The only mitigating factor is our technology has made effecency so great that we need a lot less.
bump. People really should pay attention to our real GDP per cap in-terms of inflation.
The costs of liberalism have been astronomical. Because of inflation people have no idea how much they have lost.

Well supposedly this: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/gdp-per-capita
is adjusted by inflation.

It was bad enough that during the housing boom people thought that an increased appraisal on an existing house represented an increase in real wealth but now it seems everyone is going nuts. Not only is government spending counted as Gross Domestic PRODUCTION when it is only grossly counterproductive waste of resources in most cases but I just got an e-mail from some investment guru describing all the "wealth" that is going to result from aging baby boomers demand for more health care! I also read that John Kenneth Galbraith recommends that people retire early to boost the economy! I'm supposedly retired but working two part time jobs, I guess I should quit both jobs and try to get sick and go in the hospital to do my part in saving America.

A tycoon who donated more than £300,000 to the Tories is expected to be made a lord by David Cameron on Friday.
Ranbir Singh Suri, the founder of Oceanic Jewellers and worth an estimated £40million, is one of 20 new Conservative peers due to be announced by No10.
He has given the Tories nearly £130,000 since 2006 and £183,000 through Oceanic, according to the Electoral Commission.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "Any appointments would be made in the usual way and are subject to independent vetting and scrutiny by the House of Lords Appointment Commission."
But if confirmed, Mr Suri's elevation will open the PM up to fresh allegations he is rewarding party donors with honours.
The Tory peer list is also set to include Apprentice star Karren Brady, ex M&S chief Sir Stuart Rose and hedge fund boss Sir Michael Farmer, who has given almost £6million to the party.
Nick Clegg is due to name about six Lib Dem peers while Labour's Ed Miliband will get just three.
Mr Cameron and his deputy have created 60 Tory and 34 Lib Dem lords while in power, meaning there are 319 Coalition members against Labour's 220.
The new recruits would extend the majority further and make it even harder for a future Labour government to pass laws.
Ex-Commons speaker Baroness Betty Boothroyd has accused the Prime Minister of filling the upper house with "lobby fodder".

Dentists in Memphis
Memphis dentists have broadened their practices to go far beyond the standard teeth cleaning or cavity filling. Many dentists now perform cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening, a procedure that has exploded in popularity as patients have sought those Colgate smiles seen only in ads. Memphis dentists are also on the cutting edge of dental technology with new teeth straightening processes that no longer require braces or metal wiring.

USD/JPY: inside the cloud
Tatyana Norkina, an analyst at FBS
The strength checking of the resistance level of 119.30 / 40 went pretty well. The upper limit, supported by horizontal Kijun-sen, withstood the onslaught of the bulls. The last had to surrender, being a result of the currency pair depreciation to lower limit support of the four-cloud 118.50.
Uncertain situation remains unchanged. Oscillators are neutral. Ichimoku indicator lines also directed flat.
If Senkou Span B is not be able to keep a pair at current levels, then we will expect the transition of trading in the negative zone and the depreciation of the currency rate to 117.90 or 117.50. Otherwise, the consolidation will be continued within the cloud further.
Technical levels: Support - 118.50; resistance - 118.80.
Trading recommendations:
1. Buy - 119.00; SL - 118.70; TP1 - 120.40; TP2 - 120.90.
2. Sell - 118.80; SL - 119.00; TP1 - 117.90; TP2 - 117.50

The location of the CNN-hosted debate drew attention to the problems plaguing states like Arizona, which is still suffering from the effects of the foreclosure crisis and dealing with enforcing illegal immigration.
Tom Morrissey, the Chairman of the Arizona GOP, and Robert Schostak, the Chairman of the Michigan GOP, asses how the candidates performed in their last debate and review the favorites among Republicans in their states.

I don't believe for a SECOND that this guy was in SF. He was only in the Army 2 years. The guys I knew in the SF (some of our medics) I know had more than 2 years just in training AFTER making it 'in.' Probably some story he told the chicks...and it just got passed around. I've met plenty of guys at work who claim to be vets, etc. The first thing I ask them is "What was your MOS?" If they can't answer that, they're liars. Then I ask them to bring in a copy of their DD219. Yeah, I know it's a DD214, but do they?

Olivier Blanchard is a French-born, American-based Brand Management and Digital Marketing consultant, the author of two best-selling books, and an acclaimed keynote speaker. As head of Marketing Innovation and Business Strategy at OABC, he draws from his years of experience in strategic Marketing and Business Management roles across a range of B2B, B2C and B2G industries, to help companies and their partners develop successful digital strategies, properly deploy social business capabilities across their organizations, and align their programs to business goals and objectives.
Though based in the US, his geographic range extends beyond North America to Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. Olivier is the author of the best-selling #1 social business desk reference for digital managers and business executives: Social Media ROI: Managing and Measuring Social Media Efforts In Your Organization (Que/Pearson). Olivier is also a sought-after subject-matter expert and corporate trainer.
Olivier has worked with companies large and small. Among them: Microsoft, IBM, IIR (Middle East); ADMA (Australia); iab, Sanoma Media, WDM Belgium, i-SCOOP, EDC London (Europe); InterLat Group (Latin America), CEGN, the Fondation de Gaspé Beaubien (Canada), PRSA, Jive Software, MIMA, Raytheon, the Federal Reserve System, the CDC, the University of North Carolina, Clemson University, Loyola University, Ford Canada, Design Centers International, Adobe, Verizon, Hincapie Sportswear, Americas Mart, K2 Sports, Tickr, Raytheon, Corante, Smartbrief, Lexis Nexis, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Dassault Systemes and General Mills.
* * *
Corporate background: Olivier has spent two decades working in product innovation, marketing management, business development and brand management. His extensive experience working with both B2B and B2C companies, managing projects and campaigns from both sides of the client-agency dynamic, and his understanding of international markets, have contributed to his unique breadth of operational expertise.
Education: Olivier holds an International Baccalaureate degree from the International School of Brussels and a BA in Political Science from Furman University. He is equally fluent (one might say "native") in both English and French.
Military Service: Olivier is a decorated veteran of the Fusiliers Marins (French Navy Marines), with whom he served as an officer before embarking on his business career.
The Novels: Olivier's first novel "The Peacemakers" was released in March of 2014, with sequels scheduled for 2015 and 2016. The skinny: Jules Verne style sci-fi set during WW1. (You can find out more about it here.)
Business Writing: In addition to Social Media ROI (and its upcoming follow-ups), Olivier has been blogging for years. His blog (formerly The BrandBuilder Blog) now lives here… although it has gone through a few long-overdue changes. You can check out the complete feed here or choose between one of three categories: Business, Lifestyle, and Writing. Happy reading.
Personal Life: Olivier is an accomplished photographer, triathlete and cyclist. (His Instagram account serves as a daily reminder of the latter.) While he works on assignment all over the world, home base for the last 20 years has been Greenville, SC (mild winters, great cycling and not a bad place to live, apparently).

CAT Deeley looks every inch the blushing bride as she poses on the red carpet
in a long white dress.
The newlywed TV presenter wore a flowing ivory gown as she stepped out to the
WGSN Global Fashion Awards last night.
Cat teamed her tiered feather-skirted design with a slim-cut blazer and wore
her long blonde locks straight and loose as she grinned. Her only jewellery
was the chunky ring glistening on her finger.
She donned the Charlie Brear silk ivory 1930s dress to host the fashion bash
at London's swanky Savoy Hotel.
The event recognises individuals and organisiations who globally push fashion
boundaries, with winning categories including ethical practice, visual
merchandising and marketing.
wed her best friend of ten years Patrick Kielty in September after a
ten-month romance, giving their friends and family just a few days notice
and jetting them out to Rome for the lavish ceremony.
The couple first met in 2002 when filming BBC1 talent show Fame Academy.

-- The CLIMAX Candy Suite BETA --
CLIMAX. The pinnacle of achievement. The top of its game. True Hackers everywhere have known that you find the most power available at your fingertips in a pure, uncluttered command line interface. The most fun a True Hacker will have on a computer is found in issuing direct commands to the machine, and having it listen.
Unfortunately, most software released today can neither be said to be uncluttered, nor can it rightly be called fun.
So we write our own. Countless little scripts and utilities that do something useful. Or not useful. (Not every command line utility has to have a purpose; there are many that we write simply to amuse ourselves when things get dull).
The problem is that, with all the attention given to commercial, GUI-based solutions, the CLI is often overlooked as a source of productivity and entertainment.
That has SO got to change.
The CLIMAX Frameworks bring the CLI back to its proper place as the first and most convenient tool we reach for every day, encouraging coders to easily develop for the CLI when writing a new tool.
And then there's Candy.. Candy isn't good for a main meal, but is nice in little bits here and there. Some of the programs in the Candy Suite are really useful though! (Check out the included program called gcode for an example). Together in this suite of software you will find productivity and entertainment married into a seriously lighthearted set of tools and frameworks.
You sort of get twins when you download The CLIMAX Candy Suite:
- The CLIMAX Frameworks, enabling you to quickly author new CLI tools in your favorite language.
- The Candy Suite, making the CLI more safe, more efficient, and more fun!
I hope that you will deeply enjoy CLIMAX, and mind you don't eat all the candy at once!
Both the SVN repo and the downloads page have the latest BETA release available, currently including only programs from the Candy Suite. I am working on the CLIMAX Frameworks further before posting them, so just enjoy the Candy Suite for now. ;]
The first framework I'll be finishing is for writing CLI programs in PHP.
If you are writing a CLI utility in PHP5, you have to handle arguments and stuff by hand, right? Include and extend the PHP CLIMAX Framework, which handles things such as reading in command-line arguments, echoing ascii-art chrome, etc. Basic tasks such as database read/write, apache management, and XBOS management are also included. I'm just wrapping up development on the PHP5 version. Look for that, and initial progress on the C version, coming soon.
new ( For a preview of all the languages for which there will be a framework, peek at the empty folders inside /trunk/climax/ )
With Climax, you will be able to quickly develop command-line utilities, database utilities, web server utilities, and OS-level utilities without having to start from scratch every time!

They weren't tears of pain because John was tougher than that, as tough as they come. Just over a month earlier, the doctors had first told him that he had stomach cancer and needed immediate chemotherapy but he'd simply replied: "You'll have to wait until after I've played this weekend."
Played what? "A rugby league international against France," said John. The medics had thought he was barmy but, sure enough, two days later this 38-year-old second-row warrior had been out there in a brutal game, ploughing into tackles despite the searing pain and making everyone fear for him every time he took a hit.
"His blood count was down 80 per cent and the doctors and specialists were there saying, 'How did he do it?'," recalled George. "I don't know how either but John's got this remarkable motivational mind, pride and strength. Sheer will saw him through."
Five weeks on, after the lymphoma the size of a tennis ball had burst in his stomach, that indomitable will was being tested again as the surgeon told him the worst. "I'm going to have to operate," he said. "You can't because I've got to play in the World Cup qualifiers," protested John.
"Mr Elias, if we don't cut out your stomach now, you'll be dead in two days," came the response. This time, there could be no arguments but John's tears came not because he feared for his life but because he knew he would now never be able to fulfil the unlikely dream which had consumed him - to lead out Lebanon as their captain in the rugby league World Cup.
Lebanese-born but an Australian citizen ever since he and George were taken to Sydney by their mother as kids following the death of their father, John had been a bad boy in his time - "a loveable rogue" as George put it.
A rugged, larger-than-life player in Sydney's hard-bitten first-grade scene, his off-field exploits derailed his career as he fell into bad company, got convicted of firearms and drugs offences and even served time in prison.
But he'd changed, grown up and directed that indomitable will into becoming the figurehead of one of sport's most romantic adventures. Fact: nobody plays rugby league in Lebanon. Yet, among the 300,000-strong working-class Lebanese community in Sydney, the game had become a passion for first and second-generation immigrants and the Elias brothers had been instrumental in creating the Cedars, a team of proud Australians who had just as much pride in their Lebanese roots.
Whenever they've played this past three years, George, the chief executive of Lebanon rugby league, reckoned the din created by their fanatical support, bedecked in red, white and green, made Sydney stadiums seem like Wembley. John had once led the team out onto the pitch atop a camel. Soon, even Beirut got to hear about them.
With the Australian ambassador there acting as a go-between, the Lebanese government agreed to George's plans to see if the Cedars could be the first team ever to represent the country at a World Cup in any sport, even though, in truth, nobody in a country troubled by more pressing concerns knew a thing about the game.
The great news? Lebanon's Aussies did make it through the qualifiers and, this Sunday at Gloucester, John Elias, cancer in remission more than a year after his operation, will indeed launch the Cedars' historic quest against New Zealand - not as their captain, of course, but as coach.
"It will mean everything to me, to all of us," said John. "We're trying to put Lebanon on the map, to give something back to the country which shaped us all. Lebanon is a beautiful country which has known war for too long but we know how sport can do wonders for a war-torn nation.
"TV will show the games there and after the Cup, we'll go to Beirut and are determined to arrive having earned respectability and honour for them." Lebanon's World Cup grant will go towards developing the sport there and it is John's ambition to coach the team in a game in Beirut next year.
This World Cup has been criticised for playing fast and loose with eligibility rules so that we will, for instance, see a Scottish squad including 12 Aussies - Bravehearts with Boomerangs, so the joke goes. Yet nobody questions the roots and heart of Elias's team. Christians and Muslims pack down together, and players - like star man Hazem El-Masri, "El Magic", to his huge Sydney fan club - speak Arabic and live with the daily concerns about relatives living on the fringe of the growing crisis in the Middle East.
They are all inspired by playing for their country but, though John is too modest to admit it, they are just as inspired by him. After his operation, doctors ruled he was too unwell to travel to France to watch their World Cup qualifying games, but, of course, he ignored them. "The players saw him ill and having to inject himself with needles every day, thinking 'the man's cheated death to be with us. We're going to do it for him'," said George.
That's why John had defied the cancer to play that previous match against France. "There was a madness there, but I was trying to show the young kids in the team how much playing for Lebanon meant to me," said John. "It wasn't just for me, but for my mother and father too."
With such a colourful team and leader, though, nothing was destined to be straightforward about their World Cup adventure. In America last year, before thrashing the US - appropriately enough at Disney World - to complete the qualification fairytale, some of their players got involved in a fight at an airport cab rank and John was deported due to an old firearms conviction.
Even this week, on arrival in Britain, controversy surrounded the team. Key player Darren Maroon had failed a drugs test for ephedrine contained in a supplement drink, though he has now been cleared to play after officials accepted it was an innocent mistake.
Yet through all the dramas, Elias never stopped believing the team would make Lebanon proud. "There were moments when I didn't think I was going to survive to see it," he said. "I wouldn't wish this cancer on my worst enemy and it's changed me. I'm probably not as selfish any more, and though I'm no holy boy, I say a few prayers now."
Those who think his team don't have a prayer of getting through a World Cup group which contains New Zealand and Wales should perhaps beware. "David did beat Goliath," said George. "And anything's possible when you've got pride and when you take your lead from a man who has shown how to defeat all the odds."

text: Well, for anyone who ever watched TV in the 70s and 80s, that's the way almost every show looked on the air in syndication. 16mm prints, whose color faded over time. It was only starting around the mid-80s that syndicators began going back to the original elements and remastering and color correcting shows. That is, syndicators that cared about their back catalogue. Fox was really the only company that didn't do it. Which shows that they sucked even back then. But it had to be shows that the syndicators deemed to have some kind of sale value and unfortunately, not too many Fox shows besides Batman fall into that category.


text: "Old habits die hard." Hey guys, I'm Erica, 16. I don't like to associate with a lot of people, I get annoyed easily. So don't even bother trying to start a conversation with me unless you can use somewhat decent grammar, spelling & punctuation. I believe I'm open-minded and willing to try new things. However, I'm also judgemental of a lot of stuff. Not people, stuff. I like to read a lot of books, but J.k Rowling is my favourite author, followed by Emily Rodda, John green and Suzanne Collins. Harry Potter is by far the best series I have ever read. Roald Dahl and Dr Suess are good authors as well. I'm very opinionated and that's the main reason I keep to my self. I like to attempt to give people a chance, but fail because I become irritated and annoyed. I like writing fantasy, Marauder era fan fiction, teenager struggles, zombie apocalypses and war. I don't know what else to say. So Bye.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was born in Ulm, Germany in a DP camp Jan, 1950, parents took a ship to USA (New York) Oct,
1950. In 1956 or 57 they became citizens in Kalamazoo, MI (Kalamazoo County) I have a social
security card and served in the US Army from 1968-1971. I was planning an Alaska Cruise and I
have no proof of citizenship. Thanks in Advance
Yes, there is a very good chance that you automatically became a US citizen on the day that both, or the latter of the two, of your parents naturalized.
Military service makes no difference, nor does possessing a SS card.
You should file a FOIA for your parent's and your immigration file.
Then, possibly file an N-600.
Unfortunately, this probably won't all be done before your cruise. But, if you don't get off the ship in Canada, and go from and return to a US port, you might be OK.
Meet with an immigration lawyer to see if things can be done quickly ... you might even be able to go directly for a US passport .... still filing the 3 FOIA forms, of course.

This link may give you additional information: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=26d805a25c4c4210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=ce613e4d77d73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD
You need to get this straightened out before you take your cruise. It may be that you "derived" US citizenship when your parents naturalized. If not, you should be apply for naturalization based on your military service.

Military service alone does not establish citizenship.
There have been, and continue to be many foreign nationals who serve in the military, at least for an initial enlistment.

As my colleague have pointed out, you may very well be a citizen. If you know the date that your parents naturalized, you can put in a quick call to an attorney and they may be able to give you an answer.
If you are a citizen, you may obtain a Certificate of Citizenship. An attorney can help you with that or you may try to do it on your own (please keep in mind that if it is denied for any reason, you cannot simply refile this form, unlike many other immigration forms).
If you are not a citizen, an attorney can discuss a few different paths to citizenship that may be available to you and you can decide whether to pursue those avenues on your own or with the help of an attorney.
Unfortunately, all of these options are highly fact specific and you will want to discuss them with someone one-on-one.
Good luck to you!Ask a similar question
Although I do not practice immigration law, I believe the fact that your parents became citizens and you were a minor at the time, you are a US citizen. If you were not born at the time they entered the country, and you were born here (before they became citizens), you are a naturalized US citizen.

Thanks, will it be a problem that I now have H1B visa from a different company? There is not only a gap but also I worked for another company in US during that gap.
No, it is not a problem.
One small question as well please, I left the job in Jan 2012 and entered US in July 2012 , Can this be an issue?

Ratings for Dr. Joshua A. Weidman
I switched to this doctor on the recommendation of a co-worker. I've been to the office three times, I think. Each time I've had to wait for a very long time to see him. And, each time, I am told there was an "emergency". While I understand that happens, I just don't believe it. I think it's something they just say. I arrange my schedule and make it my business to arrive early for my appointments. Tonight, after waiting 45 minutes, I left and I will not be back. The staff also seems bothered when you ask how much longer you will have to wait. We all have busy lives.
I would be dead if it weren't for the general surgeon at valley hospital,Dr weidman thought he was being overdramatic when I needed to be opened up immediately,I lost three liters of blood and the baby because it was coronial ectopic and he never saw it even after the ultrasound tech showed him,I would be dead because of his stupidity!
I love Dr. Weidman! He happily took me into his care 9 months pregnant after an issue with my ex-OBGYN. He has since delivered my two youngest daughters via C-section with no issues. He and Valley staff took excellent care of us. I was very fortunate! Just FYI - there is sometimes a bit of a wait to see him at the office, but it's worth it.
Horrible first impression experience!! First visit for a consult...waited over an hour (with my one year old) and still was not seen. Many people taken ahead. I was told "the doctor is very busy..." . Then why did they schedule a consultation at that time? Finally walked out. Big waste of time. If that's the first impression, would hate to see the prenatal /childbirth experience.
I have been seen by Dr. Weidman with my third pregnancy which was a scheduled C-section. My other 2 pregnancies were handled by the doctors in the NYC and I didn't want to travel this far any more from NJ for this pregnancy. Dr. Weidman and all his office staff are really great, friendly and caring. The office is very clean and well managed. The questions are addressed timely, the secure phone system with test results/messages is working out great. Dr. Weidman performed my 3rd C-section which was a very difficult case due to the amount of the scar tissue left over from my previous 2 C-sections. This 3rd section, however, was by far the easiest one for me in terms of recovery and pain levels. I was able to get up and get moving in less than 24 hrs after the C-section and never had to take narcotics for pain. I am really grateful to Dr. Weidman for his diligence, skill and professionalism. The office staff are all really caring and pay attention to details. I would highly recommend Dr. Weidman and his practice to future mothers!
I switched OB-GYNs and became a patient of Dr. Weidman's over three years ago, when I was pregnant with my first child. Now, after 2 successful pregnancies and 2 healthy babies, switching to Dr. Weidman was truly one of the best decisions I ever made concerning my health, and my babies' health! He is an outstanding dr. with an amazing staff. Truly a perfect combination! I was pregnant with my fist child at 38 and 2nd child at 40 (advanced maternal age / high risk). Moreover, toward the end of my second pregnancy, I suffered from cholestasis (a somewhat unique condition which can potentially cause an increase in fetal distress and stillbirth). Dr. Weidman successfully diagnosed, monitored (following up with his staff concerning my blood results and next steps even while he was out of the country!) and treated my condition. My husband and I are truly grateful for Dr. Weidman and his staff, and still talk about his outstanding care. Overall, Dr. Weidman is extremely professional and very knowledgeable. He listens to concerns and answers all questions. He effectively explains any and all medical conditions. He spends an appropriate amount of time with me, and gives individual, personal attention to my treatment and care. He returns calls personally if need be, and monitors any medical conditions closely. He is caring and completely committed to the well being of patients. I have a 100% level of trust in his decisions. And, having reviewed his credentials, it's easy to see why (he graduated high school AND college early, was Valedictorian of his college class, is board certified and the recipient of numerous awards, including "Patient Choice" and "Compassionate Dr" awards - I totally get this!). He is the best dr. I have treated with and I absolutely recommend him- you truly are missing out if you don't go to him. And by the way, his staff is equally as amazing- friendly, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I am very happy I trusted the positive reviews I read when choosing Dr. Weidman and his office!
couldn't ask for any better doctor. he delivered my son via repeat c section, follows up with my overall health, very humble, he is really there to be at your service he is truly a blessing. never made me feel awkward. With his staff, you couldn't complaint, acknowledges you & makes sure your needs are met. You are missing out if you don't go to him.
I can't even begin to explain the excellent care you will receive under Dr Weidman's care. He is a phenominal doctor with an amazing staff. The care you get from him and the entire staff is something i've never seen before. They truly do care and want what is best!
I am a new patient, and already I can tell the difference in quality from my last ob/gyn. Dr Weidman has great communication skills, he made me feel comfortable, and had good sense of humor. I am so happy I trusted the other reviews!
I came to dr. Weidman for my first exam after being assaulted. I was very nervous and uncomfortable, but he reassured me that everything would be okay. He sat down with me beforehand and explained the procedure and showed me what tools he'd be using. During the exam I had some trouble and became upset and anxious. He immediately stopped and gave me time to recompose myself. His nurse held my hand and we talked while he finished the exam. He spent adequate time with me and listened to my concerns. In no way was I rushed or made to feel any pressure by the doctor or his staff. He really is a nice guy and a compassionate doctor. I wish all doctors would take the time to learn about, care about and listen to their patients as well as Dr. Weidman. I strongly recommend him.

anxiety. mood swings. therapy.
birth control. STDs. menstruation.
Do these words make you feel uncomfortable? They shouldn't.
In modern America, there's a stigma around topics such as mental and sexual health. And frankly, that's ridiculous. As human beings, these are things we all deal with. We tell people when we get the flu without even thinking about it – why should we feel any differently when talking about anxiety? Or sex?
there's an app for that.
The road to completely removing stigma will be long. We've taken the first step with our app, Just Health.
Students can answer questions about their health – all aspects of it. And clinicians can gain meaningful insight to help students be their healthiest self.

stigmas are dangerous.
Every day, people with mental disorders go untreated. People feel sad, or abnormal, or angry – but they don't do anything about it.
People don't get checked for STDs. Or they don't talk to their partners about birth control or sexual boundaries.
The fear of judgement is powerful, and it is dangerous. We're all humans. We all have issues. Let's stop judging and start supporting.

Harrison Township
Harrison Township man arrested after exposing himself to undercover officers
By Julie Snyder
Posted February 14, 2014
MACOMB COUNTY — A 42-year-old Harrison Township man is facing multiple charges after he reportedly exposed himself to investigators during an undercover sting.
Macomb County Sherriff's Department Lt. John Michalke said the incident took place at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 12 when undercover officers from the Macomb Area Computer Enforcement Team met Charles Vandewinkle in an undisclosed location.
"It was a pre-arranged meeting in the parking lot of a business in Macomb County," said Michalke.
Michalke was unable to give specifics of the meeting location or background details of the meeting, only to say the meeting was made through the Internet. He said providing too much information about this particular investigation could jeopardize similar ongoing investigations.
It was at the pre-arranged meeting location where undercover officers allegedly observed Vandewinkle exposing his genitals and performing a sexual act upon himself, according to a report.
Vandewinkle was immediately arrested and transported to the Macomb County Jail. He was arraigned on Feb. 13 in 41-B District Court in Clinton Township on a charge of aggravated indecent exposure, a two-year felony; using a computer to commit a crime, a two-four-year felony; and possession of analogues, a two-year felony.
Vandewinkle was given a $10,000 personal bond and has since been released. His preliminary examination will be held Feb. 26. Court officials say Vandewinkle has yet to obtain a defense attorney.

For recently-retired tight end Tony Gonzalez, the clock has struck midnight on his chances of making the Super Bowl.
Gonzalez finished second in a recent ESPN.com survey of 320 NFL players who were asked, "Which player would you most like to see play in his first Super Bowl?" Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson edged out Gonzalez for the top spot.
While the Super Bowl drought for Peterson drags on, the Bills are now at 20 years without an appearance in the championship game, last playing in Super Bowl XXVIII in January 1994.
For players like Fred Jackson and Kyle Williams, who have both spent their entire careers with the Bills, they would be the natural choices for this survey.
Of the 320 players asked, however, none answered with Jackson or Williams.

Vijay Continues To Wear Stanford Logo
By Kickntrue on 2/23/09
Vijay Singh continues to wear the Stanford Financial logo on his shirt and bag despite all of the problems the company is having.
Stanford sponsored an event on the PGA Tour GÇô the Stanford-St Jude Championship, which was due to be played in Memphis, Tennessee, in June. He sponsored the LPGA's season finale, the Stanford Financial Tour Championship. He also sponsored a number of high- profile players, among them Morgan Pressel, one of the most promising young Americans in the women's game, and Camilo Villegas, currently being touted as a potential challenger to Tiger Woods.It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out for the rest of 2009 and beyond after Sir Allen Stanford has come under intense scrutiny and charges from the SEC for fraud.

Was late picking up the kids, went to start the car (e46 330i) and the battery was flat (kids keep switching on the rear lights when getting out of the car ).
Anyway in my haste I connected the jump leads up wrong , went to start the car and there was no display on the dash went back to the doner vehicle and the battery was smoking.
Connected things up correctly & got the car started, seems to be running ok but am I liable to have done any damage?
It was a decent set of leads with a yellow plug and socket connection in the middle which apparently provides surge protection, hoping this may have saved the car from any damge

Not Easy To Know - Poem by Gajanan Mishra
Not easy to know
Who loves whom
And for what purpose.
No easy to know
Who is what
And for how long.
Disregard not
To anybody
It is a mistake
You are going to commit.
Know that
perishables are also
Not inferior
Remember, mortals
Are not dying
Only change of forms
Are there.
Nothing and
Nobody is earth-bound
All are going to
Touch the sky
Know it
And be in the group of
The wise.
The criteria of being wise
Is in truth
Knowing is not important
But telling truth
Living in truth in entirety
Is rare no doubt
But not difficult.
O my dear, If you practice it
Hurdles would go on their
Own way and you will definitely
Reach at truth
Reaching at truth
Is the purpose of life
Love life and see
Truth is at your door step.

IRVING, Texas -- So what if 16-year-old Jordan Spieth wins the HP Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday?
The notion may have seemed far-fetched before the tournament began. But with Spieth sitting six strokes off the lead and tied for seventh at 6-under at the TPC Four Seasons Resort & Club, anything is possible.
A win would mean that Spieth would earn a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour. But a player can't become a member of the tour until he's 18. Spieth turns 18 in July 2011. He would then have 60 days to decide whether to accept or decline the two-year exemption. If he accepts, he would exempt for the rest of the 2011 season and all of 2012.
Would Spieth consider turning pro instead of heading to the University of Texas?
"It is hard because you realize that you can compete out here and make a lot of money out here," Spieth said.
If the leaderboard stayed the same Sunday, Spieth would end up tied for seventh and could have earned around $180,000.
"I stick by where I am right now and I think that I need to learn and grow as a person and learn to control distractions and that kind of stuff better, and I think college is the place to do that," Spieth said.
But even without turning pro, a victory Sunday would mean more PGA Tour events for Spieth this season. He would gain entrance into next week's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, the Memorial Tournament, the AT&T National, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, the 2011 SBS Championship, the 2011 Arnold Palmer Invitational, the 2011 Masters and the 2011 Players Championship. He could play in all of those events as an amateur.
Spieth has already made history. He's the sixth-youngest player to make the cut in a PGA Tour event. And he's the first amateur to record three consecutive rounds in the 60s since Danny Lee did it four straight rounds and tied for 20th in the 2008 Wyndham Championship. The last amateur to win a PGA Tour event was Phil Mickelson at the 1991 Northern Telecom Open. Chris Wood was the last amateur to finish in the top 10. He did so at the 2008 British Open (tied for fifth).
Shawn Spieth, Jordan's father, said that if his son were to win, his family and a few friends would discuss things and try to help Jordan make a decision about his future.
"I can't tell you what he might do," Shawn Spieth said. "It's very, very unlikely that he would turn professional, though. I'm 99 percent sure he'd go to college. I know he wants to go to Texas. We'd just have to figure that out if it happened.
"There are a lot of good players out here, and it's different when you're a high school golfer having a good week and you're trying to make cuts every week and make a living."
Of course, more sponsors' exemption invitations are likely on the way for Spieth no matter what he does Sunday. He's already committed to the St. Jude Classic in Memphis and as a non-member, he gets a maximum of 12 sponsor exemptions.
"There aren't any new invitations as far as I know, but I haven't checked the mailbox," Shawn Spieth said.
They are probably on the way.
If Spieth falls short of winning the tournament, he could post the best score ever by an amateur in the Nelson. Six amateurs have finished in the top 20 in the event, with Frank Stranahan and Earl Stewart Jr. as the best of the bunch, both tying for fourth in 1946.

Online Marketing For The Restoration Contractor
Category : Restoration Marketing
Having an online reputation is becoming increasingly necessary for professional contractors to remain competitive in the area. Users that Google for local professionals will have a long list of local contractors to choose from. HVAC contractors, plumbers, restoration contractors, accountants, personal trainers and other types of independent contractors are focusing on their online presence.
Search engine optimization is an essential strategy to keep your professional profile at the top of Google or Bing. There are online SEO experts that will make improvements to your website, Linkedin or social media profiles to boost your ranking. Hiring a SEO expert that specializes in "restoration contractor SEO" would be ideal.
If you are a plumber in Miami, then you will want to rank high for queries like "plumbers in Miami." You may also search for specific services of your business and target key phrases like "root removal in sewer line Miami."
Pay per click advertising is another way to advertise your services. Google Adwords is the top platform on the Internet to implement your ads on to other websites or even Youtube videos. It would be best to target websites that are related to your profession and to geographically filter users that are close to your area. Paying Adwords to pin your website at the top of certain search queries is an option to easily target users. You may also want to hire CPC campaign management companies that will target websites more efficiently.
Advertising on online classifieds is a cheap method of advertising for independent restoration contractors. Posting advertisements on Craigslist, OLX or Kijiji are typically free of charge for most sections. It is advisable to pay for their premium services so you can pin your advertisement to the top of the page.
Keeping up with your social media pages is absolutely vital. Posting special promotions on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram is a smart way to bring in new customers. Creating video content Youtube and Periscope is another trending option. Hiring a social media manager is advisable if your social media pages are lacking quality.
