Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen, has been on trial at Guantanamo Bay prison, durng which time his lawyer, Lt. Cmdr. Bill Kuebler, has encountered numerous problems trying to put up a defense. The latest episode deals with a box of evidence he gave Omar in March to help him prepare for the trial. Kahdr was not allowd to keep the material in his cell but was able to ask the guards to bring the box to him so he coul read the documents. When he asked for the material yesterday, the guards brought him an empty box. A spokesperson for the Guanatanamo's Joint task Force said there would be no comment about this incident.
Omar Khadr was fifteen when orignally captured and placed in Guanatanmo prison and is now one of 15 detainees charged with war crimes. At the upcoming hearing, his lawyers will ask Army Col. Peter Brownback, the military judge, to order return of the material.
Under the Bush administration conception of law and order, the prosecution can do the ordering and the defense must do the complying. Where in American law is a lawyer's evidence placed in the hands of the prosecution and later denied him?

Vancouver venues on track; ice makers wary of rain
By Nicole Mordant
VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Vancouver showcased its nearly completed Winter Olympic venues on Tuesday as officials turned their attention to the thorny issue of how to maintain competition ice in this perennially wet and humid city.
With the start of the Games less than a month away, Olympic ice makers are just starting the painstaking process of creating ice surfaces of the required texture and thickness at the city's Olympic speed skating and curling rinks.
Through past experience, Olympic "ice meisters" have a better handle on how to deal with problems like heat from television lights.
But the Pacific Coast city's traditionally soggy climate presents new hurdles, said Neil Houston, ice maker at the Vancouver Olympic Center, the venue for the curling tournaments.
The rink is the biggest Olympic curling venue yet, with seating for some 5,600 people -- a possible threat to the perfect competition ice as the throngs of bodies warm up the building
If it's raining, the water brought in on peoples' clothes will evaporate inside the building, possibly causing the ice to frost over if the rink's surface gets damp.
"The major challenge is that we haven't had 6,000 people and pouring rain," Houston told more than 100 foreign and local reporters on a tour of the curling venue, set in a leafy Vancouver suburb.
Frost on the ice could slow down speed skaters, said Mark Messer, ice maker at the Richmond Olympic Oval, which will host all the speed skating events. Continued...

The East Baton Rouge Parish Library Board has unanimously agreed to hire site consultant Leotta-Evers Consulting, LLC. to help it find a location for the long-awaited south branch library.
Owner Victor Leotta said his firm will run site evaluations and submit a report with multiple options back to the board within 10 to 15 business days.
"Ultimately, we want to make sure that the library will be as effective as possible," he said.
Discussions on an estimated $6 million new branch for the growing south Baton Rouge area have waged for at least six years. After talks fell through on two different sites last year, the board restarted the process of evaluating potential locations. In December, board members decided to hire a consulting firm to assist with the process.
Leo LLC was picked Thursday out of four businesses that had submitted proposals. The firm will be paid $15,000 for the work.
Board members expressed some concern over spending money to hire an outside firm, but eventually agreed that the contract would be worth the expense if it meant moving the process forward.
"I don't want to waste money - even a penny - or appear to waste money - even a penny, but this is such a small, small part of the $6 million budget," board member Chip Boyles said.

As the country's healthcare system continues to move away from a fee-for-service structure, retail-based clinics are taking on added significance for the operators of these facilities and their patients.
A new and radically different concept for frontline health care emerged last year when Walmart unveiled its first Walmart Care Clinics in Texas, Georgia and South Carolina. If things go according to plan, patients and health plan payers across the United States can look forward to a cheaper and more affordable alternative to the family doctor for nearly all their primary care needs.
A new poll finds that while most healthcare executives support value-based reimbursement, few would abandon fee-for-service entirely.
NACDS leadership was on hand as the White House introduced the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network.
In a meeting with nearly two dozen leaders representing consumers, insurers, providers and business leaders, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell on Jan. 26 announced measurable goals and a timeline to move the Medicare program, and the healthcare system at large, toward paying providers based on the quality of care they give patients.
Several of the nation's largest healthcare systems and payers on Tuesday announced a powerful new private-sector alliance dedicated to accelerating the transformation of the U.S. healthcare system to value-based business and clinical models.
Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell announced goals and a timeline to move the Medicare program toward paying providers based on the quality of care they give patients.
Partner up or risk being left behind. That's the choice facing more and more pharmacy groups grappling with accountable care, outcomes-based reimbursement and risk-sharing collaborative health networks.
CMS issued a proposed 428-page rule change earlier this week that would offer health systems more flexibility regarding the agency's accountable care program, PwC's Health Research Institute noted Friday.
Selecting a doctor can be a frustrating process filled with too many unknowns, especially in today's evolving landscape.
The latest version of a software package made by McKesson for payers allows for innovative payment strategies while supporting detection of waste, fraud and abuse, the company said.
With new payment models beginning to change the way hospitals and health providers are reimbursed for their services, health plan payers scrambling to control unsustainable medical costs and health information technology linking up the patient care silos, a more integrated and patient-centric care model is emerging out of the chaos of a health system in transformation.
New, holistic models for integrated, patient-centered care are emerging from the fog of health reform almost as fast as you can say "accountable care organization." But pharmacy and retail clinic operators aren't waiting for ACOs to fully ripen.

Hi everyone! I've been a long term member but not a frequent poster.
My son is a young 1st grader (summer birthday). He says he hates school, he'd rather be at home, school is "boring" and "stupid" and "too hard". Several times he has had a full anxiety attack and full refusal to attend school. The principal has been able to talk him out of it and he has gone on to class and had a normal day, but during these episodes he is sobbing, begging, it is very hard. We haven't figured out yet what is triggering these episodes-he usually has some specific complaints, but minor issues (ie the teacher was "mad" at him because she looked at him weird). We are seeing a counsellor and it seems that his anxiety stems from having to leave home rather than anything going on at school.
He has good friends and is well-liked by other kids and the teachers/principal. He is super sensitive to any kind of correction and reports "getting in trouble" a lot, when the teacher perhaps gave him a warning such as "Sit in your seat". The teacher has only reported that he occasionally needs a reminder to stay on task, never has had any major behavior issues.
At home he is a perfectionist and will often want to quit a task saying it is "too hard" when in fact he just doesn't want to do it or is frustrated that it isn't quite right. He has little desire to do school work, but when I get him in the right mind frame he breezes through it all very quickly. He is reading books such as "Runaway Ralph", the Junie B series, the Magic Treehouse series for fun, which are all at reading level M-O, yet at school the teacher identified him as level D (on A-Z reading scale, Z being highest level). The tasks he is breezing through at home she feels are challenging for him since that is what he says/how he acts at school. His grades are all "grade level" but I know he is capable of more.
I don't want to push him, I keep thinking this will maybe improve as he gets older and finds his own interests, and learns better how to deal with the anxiety and perfectionistic tendencies. I am also afraid of him falling into the habit of underperforming and getting more and more bored.
Anyone else dealing with this? I was the kid who loved school and was disappointed at breaks, so this is unfamiliar ground for me. Any suggestions on getting him more interested and motivated would be appreciated.
I would consider a psychological educational assessment so you can establish for the school what his abilities are and if there is something about how he learns that is interfering with his ability to function in school.
What is a Psycho-Educational Assessment?
My ds had similar behavior in 1st grade (plus other things related to ADHD and Aspergers). Early in K his teacher thought his reading comprehension was below grade level (which we knew wasn't true), and discovered that he wasn't paying attention during testing because he was 1) distracted by what was on the walls, 2) bored by the story, and 3) insulted by the easy/obvious testing questions; so from then on she was aware that more effort was required to keep ds on track. His ADHD diagnosis (and OT eval) helped his 1st grade teacher be aware of what was going on, then we had a psychological educational assessment done along with a behavioral assessment mid-year.
When ds gets very anxious he can freeze up and be completely non-communicative. His teacher last year was very good at talking him out of it and he went from "freezing" for several minutes to half a minute or less by the end of the year. He might freeze for a number of reasons; he thinks he's right and no one agrees, he doesn't want to do it, he thinks it's too hard or too much work (once he froze for over 20 minutes because he thought going to lunch would mean missing the class Valentine's Day party), he may have missed the directions and didn't know what to do, or the task requires abstract thinking and he has more of a literal mind.
You can request your school do an evaluation, but I would also do one privately if you can (it's faster and they work for you).
If you decide to request the school do an evaluation, you need to "start the clock" in your letter of request; the school has 60 days from the date they received parental consent for evaluation to do the evaluation; your written request should note that this letter is the consent for evaluation. (And, if you did not do it in writing, it never happened!).
Eligibility for Special Education Services: Articles ... - Wrightslaw
Is a Child with Passing Grades Eligible for Special Ed under IDEA
Gifted and Learning Disabled: Twice Exceptional Students
I can relate to some of what you write about your son. My son is also a perfectionist and does NOT take criticism or scolding easily. I wrote something in the gifted forum about this also (which is different than your experience; the WAY my son was acting, one would have thought he was failing--however he was in the top 3 out of 100 kids in his second grade class, and his teacher thought the world of him, he never got in trouble, etc). However he went from loving school K-1 to hating going by 2nd. He also started showing symptoms of anxiety (no anxiety attacks though), depression, unhappiness, stress, etc. He too thought the teacher hated him, that work was too hard, he even came to us crying on 3 separate occaisions saying he never wanted to grow up, because we taught him he was going to school so that when he grew up he could be a smart adult and get a good job, and since he hated school, he never wanted to grow up, etc.
First, I agree with the pp that you should have him evaluated. In lieu of that, I can offer our thoughts towards their perfectionist tendencies. Is your son a first born, or only? We joke that being the first born we were able to create a little bubble for him, and that he didn't get to experience frustrations (and not doing something right the very first time) b/c we were always able to step in and make things successful for him. Our second and third children, however, take frustrations much more easily, since we had other children when they came along, we weren't able to be as 1:1 with them.
Were his K teacher(s) having the same experience as this 1st grade teacher is? If not, I also wonder just how much his teachers personality towards him is causing this. One of my sons teachers was a much more direct, in-your-face person. Now, *I* am not that way as a mom, I take a more gentle approach, but I do NOT think badly of that teacher (or other moms for that matter) for having that type of personality. Its just different ways of talking to people. But from a 6 yr old standpoint, that may take some getting used to, and he may be interpreting as the teacher doesn't like him, and he's shutting down. My son had this experience also, and it took me observing a full day in the classroom to see how the teacher talked to all the kids including my son for me to understand he was taking how she approached him a little too seriously.
Finally, we did end up switching my son's school, and he is much better for it, even if the curriculum is easier, he's actually getting so much opportunity to do things to his interest, and in that way I've already seen him choose harder approaches, so I do feel like he's being challenged enough. But you have just started figuring all this out so I would never suggest you jump and do that; however just my opinion, I'd take full-on anxiety attacks seriously, which it sounds like you are doing. I would view anxiety attacks as the sign that he's not able to deal with this on his own.

text: There's a local guy who has been making Mainers laugh late night for a year now. We went behind the scenes of Maine's only local late night talk show. It's not New York City, but for Danny Cashman, it's just as good – maybe even a little bit better. " We were all a little nervous when we started, but thankfully, so far, it's gone pretty well," said Cashman. He's the host of The Nite Show with Danny Cashman. " We came into this hoping that people would latch on to it, hoping people would like a local flavor of late night television," described Cashman. Every Saturday night his show airs across the state. It's taped at the Next Generation Theater in Brewer and it's no amateur hour. " We have six cameras, we have a house band, we have an audience full of people, we have guests, we have an announcer, " said Cashman .Students and staff from the New England School of Communication help out." They are dedicated, they are smart, they are driven. They learn quickly and they do it right," said Cashman. To mark the show's one year anniversary, radio hosts Mike and Mike from Kiss 94.5 stopped by to have a little fun with their old friend. " It doesn't surprise me that the show's been on for a full year, what surprises me is that there's been no arrests," said Mike Elliott with a smile. For Cashman, the show is a dream come true. He's a Maine boy who caught the entertaining bug years ago. He says there's nothing better than putting a smile on someone's face. " It's like hitting a golf ball on the sweet spot. If ya drive it 400 yards, you know you drove it 400 yards. I've never driven a golf ball 400 yards," said Cashman. Golf aside, he is driving his show to success. " I think it's incredibly difficult to put a show like this together at the level of quality that Danny has managed to do. We congratulate Dan Cashman and we're very proud to be his friend," said Elliott. While Mike and Mike are great guests, if Cashman could have anyone to share the stage with he says it's an easy choice. " If there was a dream guest that's kind of a pipe dream, it would be David Letterman," said Cashman. Letterman hasn't taken him up on the offer yet, but he has gotten kind of close to his idol. " A friend of David Letterman's old director was here and she gave us advice that the director of Letterman's show passed on the her, so that was kinda good," said Cashman. Cashman plans to grow the show and hopes to continue making Mainers laugh on the small screen for a very long time. You can catch The Nite Show with Danny Cashman every Saturday night at 11:30 on TV 5. It also airs Saturday night at 10 on WPXT in Portland. For more information on the show click here.

PSPad is a universal freeware editor. There is no complex install process; the program is ready to work immediately, without requiring customization. It supports many file types and languages, with syntax highlighting. There are macros, clip files and templates to automate repetitive activities. An integrated HEX Editor, Project support, FTP Client, Macro Recorder, File Search/Replace, Code Explorer, code page conversion, are just some of the many possibilities that PSPad can offer you.
Reviewing 220.127.116.1100 (Mar 3, 2015)
I can declare that PSPad installer from the 4.5.9 version (March 1ts 2015), downloaded from PSPad pages links doesn't contain any bundled software.
PSPad and installers are signed with code signing certificate, issued by COMODO.
Reviewing 126.96.36.1990 Beta (Sep 4, 2014)
Sorry ROY, but you lie.
There is NO SILENT install in case you use as source of your installer PSPad page. If you download PSPad from any software server, they wrap PSpad installer into they own downloader. In this case I can't be responsible of it.
Reviewing 22.214.171.1240 (Jan 24, 2014)
The new installer includes KNOWN MALWARE (specifically Conduit) that SILENTLY INSTALLS even if you choose "No" to the install options. I tracked this on a firewall with content filtering that blocks known malware purveyors. You will get a popup that says the installer is unable to download content and an option to continue. If you continue, the editor itself installs.
This app and author should be blacklisted until the malware is removed from the install.
ONE star for knowingly infecting users with malware.
Reviewing 18.104.22.1680 (Feb 22, 2013)
From author's page you can update/upgrade to - PSPad editor 4.5.8 (2453).
Slow development.
Reviewing 126.96.36.1997 Beta (Jun 7, 2012)
This is still an excellent editor, but unfortunately it doesn't come anywhere near Notepad++. My main problem is that it is STILL designed as a coder's editor with monospaced font capability only. I write code in Notepad++ using Verdana 9. If you need monospaced fonts to line stuff up, fine, allow that as an option - don't force it on your users. Still, 5 stars for being free and having lots of features.

The Latest Trends in Men's Hairstyles
Super short man's hair style. High and Tight, Fade, Spike, Clipper Cut and Crew Cut are just a few of the names given to the short male hair cut. Medium length, textured men's hair style. Today's styles for men have a lot of texture and the same is true for medium-length styles (about 3 to 4 inches). To achieve this style pomade usually works best. Work product through dry hair and finger into place.
Long man's hair style. Perhaps the most recognizable example that I can give of this men's hair style is Ashton Kutcher. Long, textured and disheveled, this man hair cut is gaining widespread popularity. Again, this man's hair cut requires a lot of texture and works best with pomade.

Shel Silverstein (1930-1999) was one of the great storytellers of his time. He told stories about unusual people in unusual predicaments. There was A Boy Named Sue, about a kid who finds out late in life that his name is a blessing as well as a curse. In The Mermaid, a fisherman falls for the mythical creature only to find that there are limitations on loving a woman whose bottom half is a fish.
He also told the story of Sylvia's Mother, which is really about the lovelorn fellow who falls hard for Sylvia and finds out from her mother that she is going off to Mexico and getting married without him.
He also told the story of Sylvia's Mother, which is really about the lovelorn fellow who falls hard for Sylvia and finds out from her mother that she is going off to Mexico and getting married without him.
Silverstein's words and pictures appeared in Playboy, in several children's books (including Where The Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree), and in songs. "Sylvia's Mother" was recorded by Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, who would later make the cover of Rolling Stone thanks to another Silverstein song, "The Cover Of 'Rolling Stone'." Released in 1971, Sylvia's Mother was a trans-Atlantic hit, making #5 in America and #2 in the UK.
Dr. Hook singer/guitarist Dennis Locorriere (the one without the eye patch) wrings out the sadness of the song:
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy, too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's tryin' to start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy so why don't you leave her alone
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes
Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show were known for their ribald stage shows and humorous Silverstein interpretations like "Roland The Roadie And Gertrude The Groupie," but this song is a true heartbreaker, not unlike like Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix."
Says Locorriere: "A surprising number of people thought it was a parody but I always saw it as a truly heartbreaking story and I did my best to portray the anxiety and sadness that I knew that poor guy in the phone booth would be feeling."
Silverstein admitted that there was a real Sylvia, and he did indeed call her mother to learn the shocking truth. He even thought of pulling a Mrs. Robinson and disrupting the wedding, but he came to his senses when thinking about Sylvia's last words to him: "Shel, don't spoil it." She would never become Mrs. Sylvia Silverstein.
Silverstein's nephew is the author Mitch Myers, who wrote a book about his uncle called Silverstein Around the World. When I spoke with Mitch, he knew it was a true story, but wasn't sure if Sylvia was her real name (Shel also used the name in one of his famous poems: Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out). Said Myers, "We're talking about a time before cell phones, and you could conceivably be at a payphone and only have so many quarters in your pocket, and so many minutes to get through, and if somebody's mom answered the phone, you're not getting through unless she loves you. I mean, it seemed quite believable. I can remember as a young man hearing that song on the radio and saying, 'That sounds like something Shel would write.' And then learning that it indeed was."
It wasn't until 2002 that the real Sylvia - and her mother - were revealed. It was the Dutch television producer Arjan Vlakveld who found them and directed a short film about their story that aired on a public TV show in the Netherlands called The Top2000 a gogo. Arjan told us how he did it: "The search for Sylvia was a big coincidence. I was having a glass of wine in the garden of my brother. He had guests and there was an American woman who after I explained what kind of things I produced, told me the story about Sylvia and her mother, who she knew. It was an old story because it was about her mother working at a high school with 'Sylvia's mother.' She was already old at the time of her story. She didn't know if it was true, but the woman had claimed once that she was the mother in the song. I only had a few names to go on and ended up in a telephone conversation with Sylvia Pandolfi, who at that time was a museum director in Mexico City ('down Galveston way' in the song meant in real life that she was getting married to a Mexican and moving there). So I asked her the question: Are you by any chance the Sylvia in the song 'Sylvia's Mother?' She was very surprised because nobody knew, it was a personal and family story, she never told anyone. I filmed the interview with her mother in Homewood, Illinois. The same house where she had the telephone call with Shel Silverstein, probably even the same telephone number. She was 95 years old at that time."
Thanks to Arjan, we hear the story from Sylvia's perspective. "He was doing a lot of drawing and I was working and going to school," she said. "So we would call each other up and he would come around, usually in the evening after I was through working or studying. The only thing we did was walk around, talk, laugh, and have a good time. But there was this kind of continual communication between us. You remember how you are when you were young? It's this delicious thing."
That communication was documented in letters Shel wrote to Sylvia while he was traveling in Europe and Asia. Said Sylvia, "He'd call me up, we'd fight, and he'd stop writing. Then we'd start over again. This went on until about '58. Every once in a while he said, 'You have to come. Just buy a ticket.' I said, 'I'm not going to come.' Why didn't I want to go to France or Italy or wherever he wanted me to go and join him? I was working. I had to pay off my student loan. I was trying to finish school. I didn't have money for the ticket either."
While Silverstein played the hopeless romantic, Sylvia remained pragmatic and focused on her career - until she fell in love with another guy and left the country with him. Silverstein faced the crushing reality that his was an unrequited love. "I'm packing and going off to get married," Sylvia said of that tumultuous day. "My parents are screaming at me because they don't want me to get married in Mexico - they're practically throwing me out of the house. All these things were going on, it was a horribly tense situation. If he called, I may have said something to him, but I wasn't thinking too much about it, and it might have even had the effect of, 'Shit, why did he have to call today?'"
In the song, Sylvia's mother is "Mrs. Avery," which scans much better than "Pandolfi" and protects the anonymity.
Please Mrs. Avery, I just gotta talk to her, I'll only keep her a while
Please Mrs. Avery, I just wanna tell her goodbye
Here's how Sylvia's mother remembers that day: "Sylvia was getting ready to go to Mexico to get married, he called that afternoon to talk to her. She told him that she was going to get married, and that they'd always be friends - in other words their affair was over. But then the day after she got married he called me again, and was very upset. I tried to tell him, 'Well, this is over now and she's gone.' In the song it indicates that I was rather brusque. I don't think I really was, but maybe it came through that way to him."
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurryin' she's catchin' the nine o'clock train
Sylvia's mother says take your umbrella cause Sylvie, it's startin' to rain
And Sylvia's mother says thank you for callin' and sir won't you call back again
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes

I never thought Dennis Locorriere's vocal was parody, in fact over 40 years later when I listen to it I STILL think he is going to break down and cry and not finish the song!Bill from Us
Pragmatic women are such a downer. You shoulda bought the ticket.Gary from Galveston Way
I always loved "Sylvia's Mother". But another one of my favorites of his/their music was "Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball"!! What fun lyrics!Beautyanddabeast from Flagstaff, Az
I use to get picked on so much about this song. I even had a boss that would follow me in the restaurant I worked at and sing it to me..It is very interesting to finally to be able to read about the real "Sylvia" behind this song. I can actually say now that I like this song now knowing the meaning behind it..Sylvia from Illinois
I'm a karaoke host and I sing this song frequently. When I discovered it in my library, I wanted to sing it so bad that I did it for my warm-up at my next show. The bartender's girlfriend came in a few hours later and ended up walking up to me and asking if I do requests. I told her that if I had any clue of the song I'd give it a shot. She said it's an unusual song, I responded that I specialize in unusual. Then she said it was an old Dr Hook song and I knew immediately it was gonna be Sylvia's Mother. Needless to say, it became a permenant part of my rotation that night.Beaux from Kanas City, Mo
Great info. great find...Kenny Decker
Silverstein also penned a 4th top 10 US hit, "The Unicorn" by the Irish Rovers.Jeff from Nesconset, Ny
You guys sure know how to find 'em. Another outstanding article and interview.Jim from North Billerica, Ma
Don't forget the "Giraffe and a Half"! LOVED Shel Silverstein. Loved Dr. Hook. Love this article. Well done.Shawnasee more comments

Royal County Down, in the seaside town of Newcastle in Northern Ireland, is arguably the British Isles' finest links golf course. Its history, dating to the 19th century, mixes with dramatic dunes in the shadows of the Mourne Mountains, making it tough to beat. Royal County Down is considered one of the most difficult courses anywhere, and is the host of the 2007 Walker Cup.
The course was originally established in 1888 as the railway came to Newcastle and is still labeled as an Old Tom Morris design. However, massive rerouting and rebuilding through the 1920s led to a course that's been largely unchanged for several decades. One big difference is the brand-new 16th hole, built just a few years back.
You'll run into large amounts of gorse here. An interesting footnote is gorse wasn't even a part of the course until the 1920s, when rabbits were removed from the links. They had a habit of eating roots, so dunes were sandy and bare. Rabbit holes of course caused problems, and now the gorse has an overwhelming effect.
The course will close from the end of August through mid-September to accommodate the Walker Cup. Until then, you'll encounter a golf course as difficult as its ever been, with super-slick greens, thick rough and a jammed tee sheet.

|Move the tug in straight lines away from the dog or don't move it at all. Going side to side is what gets you in trouble. Don't move tugs perpendicular to the dog or they learn to "lead" and if they guess wrong your hand pays the price.
I kinda figured it was something I was doing wrong which is why I would stop playing with her for a bit. The time out is more for me than for her.
I'll be more aware of hand placement and what I'm doing with the tug. The target idea is also good. Thanks for your input!

Delgado's 2 and he adores his new jute tug, he's never been so focused and enthralled with other tugs before this one. When he's excited and in drive he can get chewy trying to find the "perfect" spot to latch on to, if he starts doing that I simply give a verbal negative marker "Ah!" and the tug goes dead. He knows where I want him to target and it's a large enough tug he's got plenty of room for his teeth, it only took a few times before he clued in.
I also found using a ball on a rope helped with targeting, anytime he grabbed anything but the ball square on he got the negative verbal marker and toy went dead. Now even when he's jumping and having fun playing he knows to nail the ball and nothing else, I'm reiterating to him that the same rules apply to the new tug and it is working pretty fast
I agree w bailliff, just try to be aware of where you're putting the toy and how you're holding it. If I'm encouraging a dog to bite something, it's not really their fault if my hand gets in the way on accident. I understand it's frustrating, our first dog could take your hand off by accident while playing, and if it got too rough or I wasn't able to pay close enough attention, we redirected to another game.
This is what I've always done, but I'm curious to hear other takes on it! I just assumed my dog didn't know my hand was there and figured if I did anything it'd just confuse them.

|If it happened because you're hooking the tug stop hooking the tug. Make a clear target for the dog. If she's regripping because you let too much tension off the tug stop letting the tension off. This could also cause her to typewrite toward your hand. I wouldn't react at all. Chances are it was something you did that caused it.
Reaction when pup accidentally* bites
Veda just bit my hand pretty hard while we were playing tug. It's happened before but I know it's an accident. She just tries to get ahold of more rope on her end.
The thing is though, she's 7 months old today and her adult teeth are all finishing up coming in and she gets a real strong hold of things when we're playing tug. Needless to say, it hurts!! She broke a little skin but no blood or anything.
So my question is, how should I react towards this? When it's happened in the past, I yell ow or something (again, it hurts) and stop playing with her for a little while just so I can cool my temper. Is this a suitable way to respond? Is there anything I can do to stop this aside from be more careful?

E36 obd1 obd2 conversion
I have a 93 325is with a s50 block and m50 head i need a obd2 conversion for my wiring harness does anyone have any information on obd1 to obd2 swap sensors,computers diagrams etc. please help
what?? iirc the part numbers for the heads are the same....
and i thought s50 *was* obd1....why do you need to go obd2 on a 93??
i'd get the right tune for the s50 and then should be just plug-n-play, no??:dunno:
there's a thread about 'how bmw's are like legos'. think it's in one of the stickies...
but i am sure more will chime in on this subject....
Also curious as to why you need to go obd2. Generally making an m/s52 obd1 to use in an obd1 car is common and its a painful process for a first timer. But going the other direction, why??
I don't know why you'd ever want to waste your time refitting a car from OBD1 to OBD2.
OP, your car was OBD1 from the factory, and has an OBD1 engine installed. Why do you want to switch to OBD2?
because its turboed already it was a hack job so im trying to fix it hence obd2
How do I know what my e36 is?
for clarity, anything designated a 96 model year (can have a x/95 production date....) is an obd2 compliant vehicle.
it should also state this on the emissions placard under the hood where the engine displacement and emissions information is posted.
and i agree with karl. if it was hacked, it's best to simply put it back together un-hacked and keep it obd1.

The Office for National Statistics said Welsh rates rose from 2.1% in 2002 to 2.7% in 2003. That compares with 2% in the UK as a whole.
Carmarthenshire had the highest, with almost 7%, and Powys just behind.
Other parts of Wales, including Flintshire, Newport, and Conwy had much lower home birth rates, with fewer than 2%.
The National Childbirth Trust's head of policy research, Mary Newburn, said more women might choose to give birth at home if better NHS support services were provided.
"Compared to the picture across the UK, the rising home birth rate in Wales is very positive, demonstrating that change is possible," she said.
"However, in some areas there is still much to be done to reach the welcome 10% home birth target set by the Welsh assembly.
"Many NHS trusts are still not providing a home birth service as a priority, or providing women with the kind of balanced information they need in order to be able to make an informed choice about where to have their baby.
"This is short-sighted as women who plan a home birth use fewer NHS resources as their births are usually very straightforward, not involving epidural anaesthesia, an operating theatre or special care for their baby afterwards."
The NCT has campaigned for more flexible, midwife-led maternity services. The services on offer, it argues, should be based around the needs of women and the option of home birth or access to a community birthing centre should be offered to all women with "straightforward" pregnancies.
Supporters of home births claim they are as safe as hospital births for healthy women considered as having low-risk pregnancies.
They say women enjoy greater privacy and more control over their birth, giving them a positive start to parenting.

Hi folks,
I'm hoping someone has some input on this problem I'm having.
So I waited too long to buy the 5 and still be able to update to 6.1.2. Best Buy had some in stock so I got one, running 6.0.1, still jailbreakable right, no problem there.
But...the backup of my 4S running 6.1.2 won't restore fully to the 5. There are no error messages during the restore process. Except the SMS/iMessages do not get restored. None of them. I've used iExplorer to check the backups and all message threads are in the backup. Initially it would not boot up after the restore completed, the apple logo should appear for about 10 seconds and then the phone would shut off. The only way I could get it to boot up was by putting it DFU mode then taking it out of DFU mode. I fixed that by uninstalling BiteSMS from the 4S and creating a new backup. Now, it restores and boots up just fine, but Messages still aren't being restored.
I've googled the issue but the only solution I've run across is restoring from iCloud which I can't do because of the older software. I haven't yet jailbroken the 5, the 4S has been jailbroken since the day I got it last year.
Anyone have any suggestions? If I can't get it all restored, then it will be going back and the 4S will have to hold me over until the next hardware refresh.
Oh, and I've tried a couple of recovery software solutions but one only supports SMS, and the other doesn't have the ability to restore to the iPhone itself. Both have been able to find and display the backup contents just fine.
Thanks a lot iPeeps.

Flip isn't exactly my favorite player either (nor my favorite coach for that matter), but Joe D did bring him in based on how he saw him playing over the past couple of years. And that earns him some leeway. As for Delfino, I do agree that he is strongest right now (and maybe forever) at defense, rebounding, moving the ball, etc. and not at scoring. However, that he was been put into the game in crunch time the last couple because the coaching staff trusts him to play strong defense and not make mistakes with the ball seems like some real progress.

As the 2001 college football season gets close to kicking off, you may want to take a break from reading all of the season preview magazines and spend some quality time getting lost in the past.
I have spent parts of this summer enjoying Heart Stoppers and Hail Marys, a book that focuses on 100 of the greatest college football finishes from 1970-1999.
This collection of fantastic finishes was assembled by Ted Mandell, a faculty member in the Department of Film, Television, and Theatre at Notre Dame. Mandell excels at recounting the events in a manner that allows you to feel as though you were there, putting you on the edge of your seat for the game-ending heroics.
Boston College pulled off the improbable upset of Miami on November 23, 1984. If you are thinking you do not need to hear that story again, you will be as surprised as I was at how brilliantly Mandell gives the story newfound life and leaves you feeling as though you just witnessed it live among the shocked throng at the Orange Bowl.
Another game I vividly remembered witnessing through news accounts at the time it occurred, was Nebraskas game-saving touchdown reception by Matt Davison who caught a deflected pass off of the foot of Shawn Wiggins for a did-you-see-that touchdown that broke Missouris hearts in 1996.
The more I read, the more open I became to reading the accounts for the first time of a game played between Principia and Illinois College in 1985. I can only imagine being present for the battle between these Division 3 teams that ended their gridiron tussle with three lead changes and 20 points - all in the last 28 seconds.
That's amazing, I said my to myself. Then I read about another game I had no knowledge of, and became stunned all over again.
If you are like me, everytime your favorite team takes the field you imagine the scenarios of a bizarre finish that somehow provides your team with a scintillating victory - and you hope and pray that the same type of unlikely scenario does not bring you to your knees in disastrous defeat. This book takes you there - again and again.
Luckily for me there are still several stories that I have not yet read. I am looking forward to opening the pages and randomly flipping to a new episode of Heartstoppers and Hail Marys tonight. And who knows? I may even insert the companion CD that comes with the book, and listen to the actual radio account of the miraculous moments.
The book was published by Diamond Communications of South Bend, Indiana and includes a forward written by Doug Flutie.

Written by Alok // December 6, 2011 // Critical Digest, Law & The Judiciary // 4 Comments
1. The Hindu carries a review of Andhyarujina's fascinating book on the Basic Structure Doctrine. It praises the author's efforts to bring to light the murky and somewhat morally ambiguous manner in which the Kesavananda case was decided but also points out the many silences about the merits of the case itself and its borrowing of Seervai's critique in The Inside Story I made a somewhat similar argument as regards the book and its gaps, but focussing also on critiquing the argument against the Basic Structure in this piece.
2. Dahlia Lithwick takes aim at two controversial provisions of the National Defence Authorization Act as approved by the United States Senate that effectively allows indefinite detention of anyone in the US in military custody. A Presidential veto is likely but the "War on Terror" is once again taking the US down a dark and dangerous road. Read: "Military Police State". Also, Shiv's piece echoing some of Lithwick's concerns on "us" and "them" and the language of terror is here.
3. The very conception of a lawyer in India is impossible without him or her wearing a gown and bands. Yet, the UK Supreme Court is doing away with the mandatory requirement of gowns and the wigs for lawyers appearing before it. In contrast, the Bombay High Court, after a recent incident, now requires litigants also to dress "soberly" and "modestly". Dhananjaya Mahaptra explores this in "Dress code for litigants? Bombay high court believes so" Personally, I can't see why the Supreme Court or the High Courts cannot do away with the Black Gown and Black coat requirement during summer months though some High Courts don't require gowns during the summer months.
4. The Internet is ablaze with outrage over the entertainment industry promoted "Stop Online Piracy Act" or SOPA that threatens to cut off large chunks of the internet in the interests of stopping "piracy". Naturally, the best take-down of the legislation has been done by supreme satirist Stephen Colbert (that's pronounced Coal-bear for the uninitiated) in this video.
5….and finally, Parliament does not have the sole prerogative on law making or heated debate descending into name calling and wild personal allegations – apparently senior counsel of the Supreme Court are just as capable of the latter. For a vivid eyewitness account of Ram Jethmalani, Indira Jaising and Gopal Subramanium engaging in verbal duel (or is it a truel?) during a hearing, read "SC Brickbats"

Health-care reform, known either as Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act, is big news this week.
Congress can't pass a federal budget, with health-care reform on the firing line, and the impasse shut down most of the federal government while Republicans and Democrats point fingers at each other.
While Congress stoked political games, on Oct. 1 federal and state health care marketplace exchanges still opened to allow millions of Americans to buy insurance, in many cases with federal subsidies. About 2.8 million Americans tried. As they opened accounts online, the computer system crashed, causing delays or error messages for hundreds of thousands.
In the ruckus you might be wondering what you should be doing about insurance.
The answer depends very much on your individual circumstances, said Mike Sanders, president of Heritage Companies and Jeff Williams, a benefits consultant with Heritage and a Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce board member. They agreed to give The Journal a few tips on the basics of what individuals should know.
The law mandates that everyone have health insurance by Jan. 1, 2014. Don't and you'll pay a penalty later.
"There are many people who mistakenly believe that because Obamacare passed, they're automatically covered, but they're not," Williams said.
If you have coverage through work, your parents, Medicaid or Medicare, you're good. There's no reason to rush to buy, however, because people have until Dec. 15 to enroll if they want coverage that begins on Jan. 1.
"Relax. Be patient and talk to someone who knows what they're talking about and fact check," Sanders said.
Ask a certified enrollment counselor (many insurance brokers have the certification) to help you.
The official federal website for information or to buy subsidized insurance is www.healthcare.gov, where people can buy a variety of plans.
Another good source of factual information is the non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation, Sanders said.
Its website is www.kff.org.
Other good sources of information are www.blukc.com the website of BlueCross and Blue Shield of Kansas City and www.coventryhealthcare.com, or by telephone call 1-800-318-2596.
They've warned to be careful because there are also scam websites, however.
They said that to buy insurance through the federal exchange you must complete a three-step procedure:
• create an account
• apply for the subsidy.
• third select your plan and pay for the insurance
Sanders and Williams warn consumers that income guidelines for the subsidies can be confusing. It's called a modified adjusted gross income.
Williams said that when buying insurance through the federal site, consumers need to be accurate when filling out the application for subsidies.
For example, if a sales person underestimates their income, after the government cross checks records, it might money back for the subsidywhen that person files a tax return, Williams said.
"Uncle Sam will come calling back for the subsidy you took," Williams said. "That's not going to be fun for anyone."
Sanders also gave an instance of a client whose husband died and in settling his estate had a capital gain.
Her regular income was low enough that she qualifies for a subsidy, but when counting the capital gain she thought she was ineligible for the subsidy. However, that capital-gain income isn't included in modified adjusted gross income, so in fact she is eligible for the subsidy.
So be sure to understand the rules for calculating the income, or find advice from someone like a certified public accountant who does, they said.
Williams said it is also good idea to be sure to have your financial information on hand when going online, such as last year's tax return, a payroll stub and employers tax I.D. number.
Basically, a single person making $11,500 a year is eligible for a full subsidy for a basic plan. However, a large number of people who make less than $11,500 won't qualify for any subsidy.
The federal law included money to expand Medicaid coverage for them, but many states, including Missouri, chose not to broaden its coverage for poor people who are low-income but still above the current Medicaid guidelines.
"That gap was unintended, the federal government expected the states would choose to expand Medicaid," Sanders said.
Williams and Sanders said healthcare reform is clearly a boon to some who have pre-existing conditions. People who were previously uninsured, like hemophiliacs, now can buy insurance and can't be turned down.
Other people will see disadvantages or advantages.
For example, young men buying on an individual plan will see higher premiums while young women will see their premiums drop, because gender no longer is used in calculating premiums, Sanders said.
There are twists and turns for the subsidies, which are based on family size, income, and whether a person is eligible for coverage at work.
Willams and Sanders emphasize going to professionals or the websites to learn about how all this affects your situation before making decisions.
Remember the Obama administration and Congress are tinkering or even hammering the law as it rolls out over the next few years, so a person is wise to stay informed.
Now the fight is whether to delay the mandate forcing individuals to buy insurance.
"Things are fluid and constantly in a changing state," Sanders said.

Our New Vending Machines
I was so excited when we got an email saying that they would be yanking our old vending machines and putting in new ones. I started dreaming of all the new goodies that would now be available to me. Yesterday after we got off the air I walked into our break room and saw from a distance that the new machine had arrived! I ran over to it like a kid running to the tree on Christmas morning. And I am sorry to say that I am a bit disappointed. I am thrilled to see that they went with healthy options in our new machine. But with that being said I don't really ever see myself buying anything out of this machine. This machine looks like the pantry in my house. The work vending machine was meant to be my secret junk food spot. Oh well, I guess no more candy bars for me at 4am. :(

This Week's Book Extract: from Creativist Compendium
Letting Go An extract from Creativist Compendium Conscious Creation is not about working relentlessly hard to meet goals. Though effort is needed, it's not the conventional effort of striving, stress, or strain, and intentional rest is very much part of the process. This extract from Inspiration Medi- tation, introduces the concept of such intentional rest. Creative rest is not time off from the creative process: it is the creative process. Every productive writer and artist talks about how the best ideas, the ones with most depth, resonance and coherence, surface during downtime.

This is a program you NEED, presumably so you are free to work and provide for your family. Are you prepared for the repercussions if you decide to take this head on? If they pull the plug on her attendance? I understand standing up for your rights...but occasionally self preservation should play a part in your decision; especially if you are not the only one effected by the road you take. Only you can make the call here. Just my .02.
