100'x40' house
What should the oc spacing be for the trusses. I was thinking 24". Also what size sheeting on the roof 1/2" or 5/8". All opinions are appreciated.
Not enough info, depends on a number of things. I doubt you would have a 40' unsupported truss. But usually 24".
It is a 60x40 house with a attached 40x40 garage. And yes they will be supported with 2x6s. I was just wondering what spacing should use because it's a long building.
Whether you're going to use 1/2 or 5/8 sheathing - have them use "clips",
between the trusses.
If you can - plywood sheathing.
Space 24" on center and use 5/8" apa rated sheathing. Max span depends on pitch, member size, and loading. My alpine truss span table shows a 2x4 common truss with a 3/12 pitch can span 40' supporting a total load of 40 psf.
Above advice on the span it right. See your truss guy/gal. Trusses are usually 24" OC, but they don't have to be. 2x6 studs are likely OK, but it depends on your snow/wind loads and ceiling height. My trusses will be 2x4 and 2x6, 24" OC, span 42', with a 5:12 slope. I would never use less than 5/8" ply on the roof, and clips, as mentioned. I am not a fan of OSB anywhere; it you get a roof leak, it may well turn to "oatmeal" (quoted from Martin Holaday on greenbuildingadvisor.com). I would have said "sh**" but that is too rude for some forums. Make sure your foundation is skookum, too; that span could generate a significant load.

China bridles as dissident wins top EU rights prize
By David Brunnstrom
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Parliament, in a move that immediately drew a tart rebuke from Beijing, awarded its top human rights prize Thursday to a Chinese dissident who was jailed for subversion after testifying to the assembly last year.
Announcing the award of the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, European Parliament President Hans-Gert Poettering called Hu Jia "one of the real defenders of human rights in the People's Republic of China."
"By awarding the Sakharov Prize to Hu Jia, the European Parliament is sending out a signal of clear support to all those who defend human rights in China," Poettering told the EU assembly.
A spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry, Liu Jianchao, expressed strong dissatisfaction that such an award had gone to a "jailed criminal" even though China had made numerous representations on the issue.
Liu called the award a meddling in China's domestic affairs and a violation of international norms, but he also said it would not overshadow an Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) of 43 nations in Beijing that starts Friday.
"Relative to so many pressing international affairs, it's too trivial to dwell on," Liu said at a briefing on the two-day ASEM summit.
Starting with advocacy for rural AIDS sufferers, Hu emerged as one of China's most vocal advocates of democratic rights, religious freedom and of self-determination for Tibet, which was shaken by protests and a security crackdown earlier this year.
He was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison in China in April. Hu, 35, had already spent many months under house arrest with his wife and child. Continued...

Joseph Stilwell was the military attaché to China from 1935 to 1939, commander of United States forces, and allied chief of staff to Chiang Kai-shek from 1942 to 1944. His story unfolds against the background of China's history, from the revolution of 1911 to the turmoil of World War II, when China's Nationalist government faced attack from Japanese invaders and Communist insurgents.

"The most interesting and informative book on U.S.-China relations...a brilliant, lucid and authentic account." (The Nation)
"Barbara Tuchman's best book...so large in scope, so crammed with information, so clear in exposition, so assured in tone that one is tempted to say it is not a book but an education." (The New Yorker)
"A period that directly affected our world today"
I have always been interested in China and find Barbara Tuchman's books on historic moments excellent. This one did not disappoint. She painted a fair portrait of Stilwell. Clearly she liked him, but she did not cover up his flaws - particularly those that impacted his work in China. The most fascinating part of the story covers the WWII period, but the earlier time periods cast useful illumination on the events. Chiang Kai Shek does not come off very well, but the Americans, including Stilwell, did not truly understand him or the Chinese viewpoint with regard to many things. Mme. Chiang, whose Western outlook was better understood, was mostly responsible for the level of backing the Americans gave to the Kuomintang.
I found this book well worth the time. For those who are interested in how fairly recent history has shaped our modern world, this book is strongly recommended.
"Tuchman great, narrator Ward a delight"
Great historical story-telling.
The central character, Joe Stilwell
Any time he was speaking truth to power
God, send us more of such men
Barbara Tuchman is a gifted teller of history, as everyone familiar with her work knows. But the narrator, identified by Audible as Pam Ward, who I think narrated Tuchman's Guns of August, is a perfect reader. Too often, narrators' voices, habits of speech, lack of interest and over-acting make Audible's books hard to listen to. Ms. Ward combines clear interpretive reading with just enough acting. She
"Excellent Long-form Nonfiction."
Yes. But one has to be a real WWII history geek. This 600 page book was written foran earlier generation of readers who were in a culture of long-form reading. So actuallythe audible format is a lot better for the way we all are now. But it is especially betterfor those under 40.I had a special interest, as one who is doing research on a family member who servedon Stilwell's staff in China-Burma-India. The book cast a lot of light on the artifacts anddocuments I am going through. I could read articles in the CBI Roundup papers withsome knowledge of the who/what/where/whens.
Tuchman was a great writer from the old school of historians. I think that being awoman made her have a different viewpoint on the personalities. Military history ismostly written by men. Her views and opinions had that feminine insight. At thesame time she maintained a balanced tone, often stating the opinions and judgmentsof people with different perspectives.You also learn a lot about the Chinese history and worldview. In this regard the book is not "old" history, but is highly relevant to the China we deal with today.The book also gives you a good picture of life in the U.S. Army of the '20s and '30s.
Wherever Stilwell was POed about events, Tuchman and the narrator really give you a feel for the man, really bring him to life. Because of Tuchman's writing and the excellent narration of Pam Ward I felt like I got to know the man. He came to life through their
Good book for WWII enthusiasts. Not a quick read. Even in Audible format, get ready for a long involved journey.
"Superb Story and well narrated. Loved it!"
Of course, ole Vinegar Joe. How could he not be. This story brought the crusty old soldier right back to life.
Vinegar and Peanuts don't mix
"US in China in WW 2"
A stunning story of heroism, perseverance and the will to overcome all obstacles in the face of an ally not unable, but unwilling, to fight for itself. The story of Stilwell in China could easily be understood as the prototype for what happened in Viet Nam a decade later. It was impossible for me to come away from this book without a completely new understanding of Chiang Kai-shek and the role he played (or perhaps more accurately didn't play) in the Second World War. It gives a very positive view of Stilwell and the American effort, a positive view of many, many Chinese, but a very negative view of the active government in China during World War 2. And it serves as a dramatic counter-point to the allied victories in Europe and in the Pacific.
I recommend it, but it is not an easy book to read. The book is not new (it was originally published in 1971) but Barbary Tuchman did a great service with this book and it deserves to be read. The narrator does an excellent job but, as I said, it is not an easy book to read.
"If you really want details"
This over 20 hours of listening in 4 parts of the life and times of Joseph Stillwell. It chronicles his life from birth (1911) to death (1945). He first went to China in 1920 and spoke fluent Chinese. He was the military attache to China (1935-39) and commander of US forces and allied chief of staff to Chiang Kai-shek (CKS) in 1942-44. While he was commander of the forces in China he also had to deal with the British which a different agenda in Far East, CKS, the communists Chinese, the Japanese and another US General Chenault. All of these factions had their own agenda and made Stillwell's plans extremely difficult to carry out. In particular, Stilwell believed in taking over the Burma Road to allow for supply of goods into China. The British wanted resources elsewhere; Chenault wanted an exclusive air attack: CKS wanted U aid but did not want to commit Chinese troops and was more worried about the communists than the Japanese and Japanese were aggressively attacking China.
Stilwell is depicted as a person who had a great respect and admiration for the Chinese people but had no respect or trust for high ranking chinese officers who were more interested in kickbacks and maintaining their army rather than winning the war. Stilwell also butted heads with CKS over how Chinese troops should be utilitized.
The story also provides a good summary of the history of China from 1900 on. The story ends sadly. Stilwell does eventually open the Burma road, but air resources had improved to the point where the road was not necessary for supplies. Stilwell was eventually recalled back to the US when Roosevelt caved in to CKS request to have Stillwell removed. He returned to the US without fanfare or recognition for his efforts as the person who saw more battles than anyother in the Pacific.
If you are interested in the history of China ane beginnings of US - China diplomacy you find this book interesting.
"Excruciating but good"
B. Tuchman is such a good writer and presenter of Stilwell's good and bad parts and mostly the bad parts of the U.S. - China policy. My stomach began to twist whenever Stilwell had to deal with Chiang Kai Shek et al. It's no wonder Stillwell died of stomach/liver cancer soon after the war. The reason I read the book was that my father was in that theater of war, U.S. Army.
The narrator completely ruins this.
Just read the actual book or read some Tuchman before listening to this to give the author and historian her due respect.
Tuchman is great and her ability to paint historical figures as humans, while maintaining as unbiased a telling of the greater historical narrative underpinnings is unparalleled in my opinion. The story is great, if you're interested in this specific and aptly-titled subject - the problem is the narrator.
It's as though the narrator is reading a newspaper synopsis of "The Comical Joe Stilwell, the Whacky American Experience in China 1911-1945!" She totally does Tuchman's masterful writing and unique historical narration a disservice.
Tuchman possesses a *VERY* distinct "voice" as an author and as a historian that sets her apart from others. She won her early accolades for this, and reading her books will reveal precisely how I mean. She is a truly great author and historian for the vivacity with which she paints the events and characters - you feel as though you've met the type of person she's describing, like you've been in the awkward position she's relating, etc. etc. -- this narrator completely, and I mean *completely* misses the mark.
Tuchman speaks with a certain humor and light-heartedness about her subjects, but with a clever authority and intellectualism that the narrator seems to completely miss.
This is a history. None.
Did no one read the book before it was narrated?
"29 hours flew by, Tuchman at her best."
Barbara Tuchman is my favorite historian and I LOVE history. I trust her. You could read about CKS, Chenault, Mountbatten, Roosevelt, George Marshall.
Certainly his presience and his triumphs with common troops who were beaten and outnumbered yet he organized and trained them into effective fighting armies. Honest to a fault. No BS. Walked out of Burma--its a jungle and full of enemy troops. Contempt for formality, the British Army and old US Army hierarchies. His love of common, working people no matter where he found them. I'll never forget the potential of CKS' 60 Chinese divisions never used against the Japanese, ugh! Could they have made Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa unnecessary and beaten Japan without the Bomb? Probably is my conclusion.
All. Stilwell particularly
29 hours? Not possible.
"Still the best single book on US-China Relations as of late 2016"
If you are at all interested in US-China relations, US Foreign Policy in general, US executive decision-making, FDR politics, WWII history, etc and have not read this book, then do so now.
Barbara Tuchman is equally compelling as both writer and historian, adroitly switching between perspectives and levels of analysis with wit, insight, and clear organization.
Pam Ward is so good I feel I have to go back and degrade all other performances to three or four stars. This is the first audible book out of dozens I have listened to at normal speed instead of 1.5x or 2x. She expertly highlights Tuchman's dry humor and memorably enlivens Stillwell's character - both good and bad aspects.
One warning: I have the hard copy of this book and found it very useful to reference the maps of Burma and Stillwell's travels.

|Who is Edgar Allan Poe?
Edgar Allan Poe, Esq.
Poe, Edgar Allan (1809-1849), was an American poet, short-story writer, and literary critic. Poe's stormy personal life and his haunting poems and stories combined to make him one of the most famous figures in American literary history.
Poe's influence on literature has been immense. His short story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841) is considered the first modern detective story. His reviews of American novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne mark him as the first significant theorist of the modern short story. His poetry and his stories of terror are among the most influential in modern literature. Writers as diverse as the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson and Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky have used Poe's stories to launch their own fictional experiments. Poe celebrated pure forms of beauty and opposed the didactic (a tendency to instruct or moralize) in poetry. These attitudes laid a foundation for later literary movements, notably symbolism (see Symbolism).
Poe worked as an editor and contributor to magazines in several cities, including Richmond, Virginia; New York City; and Philadelphia. He unsuccessfully tried to found and edit his own magazine, which would have granted him financial security and artistic control in what he considered a hostile literary marketplace.
During his lifetime, Poe made many enemies through his challenge to moralistic limits on literature, his confrontation with the New England literary establishment, and his biting critical style. Some readers too easily identified Poe with the mentally disturbed narrators of his tales, a belief reinforced by Rufus Griswold, Poe's literary executor. Griswold wrote a malicious obituary (1849) and memoir (1850) of Poe that combined half-truths and outright falsehoods about Poe's personal habits and conduct. Griswold portrayed Poe as envious, conceited, arrogant, and bad-tempered. Griswold's portrait severely damaged Poe's reputation and delayed a serious consideration of the writer's place in American literature. But Poe's later rediscovery by the French poets Charles Baudelaire, Stephane Mallarme, and Paul Valery helped restore his reputation.
Poe's life. Poe was born on Jan. 19, 1809, in Boston. His parents were traveling actors. His father deserted the family. After his mother died in 1811, Poe became a ward of John Allan, a wealthy Richmond merchant. The Allan family lived in the United Kingdom from 1815 to 1820 before returning to Richmond. In 1826, Poe enrolled at the University of Virginia. There he acquired gambling debts that John Allan refused to pay. Eventually, Poe was forced to withdraw from the university.
Poe's relationship with Allan deteriorated, and the young man enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1827. During the same year, Poe's first book was published. Its title was Tamerlane and Other Poems, "By a Bostonian." While waiting for an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy, Poe published his second volume of poems, Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems (1829). Both collections show the influence of the English poet Lord Byron. In 1830, Poe entered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, where he excelled in the study of languages. But he was expelled in 1831 for neglecting his duties.
Poe's Poems (1831) contained two important poems, "To Helen" and "Israfel." He began to publish tales in the early 1830's while living with his aunt Maria Clemm and her daughter Virginia. Poe suffered financial difficulties, especially after being ignored in John Allan's will. He received help from American novelist John P. Kennedy in winning an editorial post with the Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond. In 1836, Poe married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. For the Messenger, Poe contributed reviews, original or revised poems and stories, and two installments of The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym.
Poe produced several of his finest tales in the late 1830's, including "Ligeia," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "William Wilson." These and other stories were incorporated into Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque (1839). In 1841, he became an editor of Graham's Magazine, to which he contributed "The Murders in the Rue Morgue."
Poe won greater recognition with "The Gold Bug" (1843), a prize-winning tale that appeared in Philadelphia's Dollar Newspaper. The poem "The Raven" (1845) made him famous. Two more collections, Tales and The Raven and Other Poems, appeared in 1845. Early in 1845, Poe antagonized many people with a scathing campaign against the popular American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for supposed plagiarisms. At a public appearance in Boston later that year, Poe admitted to being drunk, which further alienated the public.
Poe's later years were colored by economic hardship and ill health. Nevertheless, he published the story "The Cask of Amontillado" (1846), "The Philosophy of Composition" (1846), and part of his "Marginalia," a collection of critical notes written for various periodicals during the 1840's.
Virginia Poe died of tuberculosis in 1847, after five years of illness. Poe then sank into poor health, and his literary productivity declined. In the middle and late 1840's, he sought to support himself as a lecturer. His lecture on "The Universe" was expanded into Eureka: A Prose Poem (1848), which explores the mysteries of the universe.
In 1849, Poe became engaged to marry the widowed Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton, his boyhood sweetheart. On his way to bring Mrs. Clemm to the wedding, Poe stopped in Baltimore. On October 3, he was found semiconscious and delirious outside a tavern used as a polling place. The cause of his death four days later was listed as "congestion of the brain," though the precise circumstances of his death have never been fully explained.
Poetry and poetic theory. Poe began his career as a poet, and composed or revised poems throughout his career. A tone of amused distance can be detected even in poems that critics consider serious. However, these elements coexist with themes that are more typical of the romantic movement, such as dreams and nightmares (see Romanticism). Poe handled such material through images and tropes (figures of speech) designed to signify uncertain states of consciousness represented as lakes, seas, waves, and vapors.
Nearly all Poe's criticism on poetry was written for the magazines for which he worked. Although the pieces were published intermittently, they reflect a remarkably coherent, self-conscious view of poetry and of the creative process. Poe wrote "The Philosophy of Composition" to explain how he composed "The Raven." The essay opposes the romantic assumption that the poet works in a "fine frenzy" of pure inspiration. Instead, Poe wrote a carefully deliberate account of poetic creation. The essay analyzes the central role of "effect," the conscious choice of an emotional atmosphere that is more important than incident, character, and versification. Poe also offered his famous pronouncement that the death of a beautiful woman is the most poetical topic in the world. In "The Poetic Principle" (1850), Poe claimed that poetry works to achieve "an elevating excitement of the soul," an emotional state that could not be long sustained. He further declared that a "long poem" is a contradiction in terms.
Poe believed that a poem's emotional impact was enhanced by music or "sweet sound." He thus devoted considerable attention to techniques of versification, especially in his essay "The Rationale of Verse" (1848).
Poe's "Sonnet—To Science" (1829) subtly shows how beauty is destroyed by the coldness of the modern scientific intellect. "To Helen" (1831) is a brilliant example of precision and balance and perhaps Poe's classic poetic statement on the idealization of women.
Despite its theatrical effects and stylistic flaws, "The Raven" (1845) is Poe's best-known poem and one of the most famous works in American literature (see Raven, The). It treats his favorite theme, the death of a beautiful woman. This theme also appears in "The Sleeper" (1841) and "Ulalume" (1847). In all three poems, Poe chose elaborate musical and metrical effects, aspects of his verse that have been widely criticized and parodied. Poe sought an incantatory quality in his verse—that is, a hypnotic quality of rhythm.
Reflecting his interest in musical effects, Poe made no rigid distinction between music and poetry. "Eldorado" (1849), which originated as a song of the American West about the California gold rush, is an outstanding example. Poe went beyond the poem's topical nature. The theme is universalized, as a knight learns that the true Eldorado is a wealth beyond this world.
Fiction and theory of fiction. Poe's review of American novelist Robert Montgomery Bird's supernatural novel Sheppard Lee (1836) offers penetrating comments on fantasy literature. Poe distinguished genius from talent in his review of English novelist Charles Dickens's The Old Curiosity Shop (1841). Critiques of American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne's tales offer his most sustained views on prose fiction. Poe approached the tale as a painter or a landscape architect might deal with his or her craft. He discussed the importance of "design," the reconciliation of diverse elements into a "unity of effect or impression." Poe's review of Twice-Told Tales (1842) celebrates the short prose tale as much as Hawthorne's artistry. "Tale-Writing—Nathaniel Hawthorne" (1847), in contrast, criticizes Hawthorne's lack of originality and his strong liking for allegory (see Allegory). According to Poe, the "proper uses" of prose fiction are served only when allegory is suggestive—that is, when it ceases to "enforce a truth" and offers an unobtrusive "under-current" of meaning.
Much of Poe's early fiction was written for Tales of the Folio Club, a series of satires on the literary pretensions of his day that was never published as a separate volume. In these pieces, serious and satirical elements coexist. These stories, the most notable of which are "Metzengerstein" and "The Assignation," do not conform to his principle of "unity of effect." Rather, the tone is a combination of "half banter, half satire." Poe's only long work of fiction, the sea story The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym (1838), may have been begun in this style. But modern critics have uncovered suggestions of mythical, religious, and visionary meaning in the work's ending.
Poe's most famous fictional expression of the unity of effect is "The Fall of the House of Usher" (1839). The story is a portrait of a suffering artist isolated from the tides of life. Subtle psychological meanings can also be found in "Ligeia," "The Cask of Amontillado," and "William Wilson." In all three tales, bizarre and frightening details and events conceal Poe's subtle probing of the warfare he observed in the human soul.

MPs also called for a Commons inquiry into Labour's close relations with Arthur Andersen, the accountancy firm accused of shredding key documents about Enron's collapse.
The storm erupted after the man who headed Enron Europe between 1997 and 2000 said the company spent £36,000 on a series of Labour functions and gala dinners. Ralph Hodge said its donations helped open doors to Labour ministers, including former Trade Secretary Peter Mandelson.
One meeting with Mandelson, he said, happened shortly after the firm had sponsored a Labour gala dinner. The minister was accompanied by his special adviser and a department official. 'We had a good dialogue,' he said. Hodge believed Enron's chairman Ken Lay met Labour ministers on visits to Britain.
Cliff Baxter, the Enron director who committed suicide last week, also visited Britain when the firm was making its £ 1.5bn purchase of Wessex Water.
Hodge described how he helped to arrange to sponsor dinners at the 1998 and 1999 Labour Party conferences. The Prime Minister was guest of honour in 1998 and both dinners were attended by an impressive array of ministers. The company was trying to convince the Government to change its mind on the moratorium imposed on gas-fuelled power stations. The ban was eventually lifted in 1999.
Shadow Cabinet Office minister Tim Collins said: 'On the face of it, this constitutes a major cash-for-access scandal.'
Downing Street denies any impropriety, but Liberal Democrat Matthew Taylor stepped up the pressure by asking the Commons Public Administration committee to examine Labour's links with Arthur Andersen. The accountancy firm has faced accusations of malpractice and fraud after the shredding of the documents.
Andersen was banned from Government work 20 years ago by the Tories over its role in the De Lorean car scandal. It helped develop Labour's economic policies in opposition.
In America, Vice President Dick Cheney may be questioned by Congress over his secret meetings with Enron, which was President Bush's largest campaign contributor.
In another development, the Institute of Chartered Accountants is expected to hold an inquiry into former Tory Energy Minister Lord Wakeham's role as a non-executive director of Enron.

5 Seconds of Summer
5 Seconds of Summer
Album Review
If you've ever watched Shark Week on Discovery Channel, you may have heard the phrase apex predator. That's any animal like, say, a great white shark, at the top of the food chain. An animal that has no natural enemies, just lots of prey. An animal that biologists tell us is the best of its kind, a genetically perfect killing machine.
Listening to the debut release of 5 Seconds of Summer, I couldn't help but think of that phrase ... because these four guys from Australia represent, in many ways, a melding of the musical DNA of all their boy band progenitors into a predatory package engineered to devour pop radio. More so than any other group of this kind I can think of, 5 Seconds of Summer injects the genre's established formula (dreamy looking guys, hypnotic harmonies, hysteria-inducing love songs) with an adrenalized infusion of guitar-engulfed, arena-rock machismo—as if 'N Sync and Def Leppard had teamed up to do an album together.
The result? A 12-song collection of gang-vocal-filled, euphoria-inciting pop rock (for some teen girls, anyway) from the music world's latest wannabe apex predator.

We hear this romantic idyll in "Long Way Home": "I wanna get lost and drive forever with you." "Heartbreak Girl" finds a guy stuck in the dreaded "friend zone," wishing that his secret crush would wake up to the fact that he wants to be so much more.
Objectionable Content
The good-looking woman on "She Looks So Perfect" has shed most of her own clothes and is wearing some of her boyfriend's—including his underwear: "You look so perfect standing there/In my American Apparel underwear/ ... I've got your ripped skinny jeans lying on the floor." We also hear the album's lone profanity, "d--n," in this first of many songs suggesting that sex and love are completely interchangeable, not to mention unrelated to marriage or long-term commitment.
Next up, "Don't Stop," on which the 5 Second lads tell a girl what their endgame is: "I gotta let you know/That everybody wants to take you home tonight/But I'm gonna find a way to make you mine." " Good Girls" mocks parents who think their daughter is a conscientious scholar when in fact she's lying to them, sneaking out to see her beau and making out with him whenever possible. "Kiss Me Kiss Me" asks a young woman to do just that, adding suggestively, "Let's make tonight/The best night of our lives/ ... Take a breath, no rest 'til sunrise/Heartbeat so sweet, when your lips touch mine/We don't have to go home right now." All that serves as a toast of sorts to the band's vision of making the most of adolescence: "Here's to teenage memories."
On "18," we hear about a younger teen pining to be that age so he can get into a bar (Australia's legal drinking age is 18) and rendezvous with an older woman there. He's managed to get a fake ID, but he laments that his youth will likely prevent him from exploring his would-be partner's carnal secrets ("She's got a naughty tattoo/In a place that I want to get to/But my mom still drives me to school").
"Beside You" is written from the perspective of a musician on tour who longs to be at home in bed with his significant other, sans any reference to couple getting married. Cohabitation, then, is an assumed norm here. Likewise, sleeping together is the subject of "End Up Here," where the "here" in question is next to hot girl the morning after a surprise tryst ("You're telling me how you love that song/About living on a prayer/I'm pretty sure we're halfway there/And when I wake up next to you I wonder how/How did we end up here?"). Meanwhile, more references to sleeping together (and presumably sex, too), turn up on "Amnesia," where we hear someone wishing he could forget how great it felt to bed down with someone who's left him ("I wish that I could wake up with amnesia/And forget about the stupid little things/Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you").
On "Long Way Home," taking that route involves parking and more making out ("Hitting every stop light/Kissing at the stop signs, darling/Green Day's on the radio/And everything is alright/Now we're turning off the headlights, darling/We're just taking it slow/Taking the long way home"). Things take a Mrs. Robinson-esque turn on "Mrs All American" as someone (possibly a teen, given these guys' ages) is apparently having an affair with the married American woman who just moved in next door ("Not just a neighbor/Oh, hey there, I'll ring your bell/And I'll kiss you well/My lips are sealed/There's nobody that I would tell/Your secret's mine, close your eyes/And I'll make you melt/ ... Walk my way/Mrs. All American"). Elsewhere on the song we hear she's got a minivan ("That minivan that you drive really gets me going"), arguably suggesting she's a mother, too.
Summary Advisory
First things first: The four guys in 5 Seconds of Summer are young. Younger than Justin Bieber or the One Direction dudes, with whom they're frequently compared. Three of them, in fact, are only 18 at the time of this album's release, with the eldest of the bunch, Ashton Irwin, just having turned 20.
But that's not stopping these lads (three of whom met at a Christian school) from singing about some decidedly adult stuff. Like having an affair with a married neighbor, for instance.
See what I mean about the whole apex predator thing?
We also get loads of references to falling asleep with and waking up next to someone, suggesting that's just normal high school behavior. Throw in rebellious winking at "good girls" behaving much worse than their hoodwinked parents know, and the end result is a band (with a huge following of young fans) pushing a sexed-up worldview that's anything but truly romantic.

City councilors OK 600-home SE Bend project
Hear details of area street improvement plans
BEND, Ore. - With fewer than 1 percent vacancies in Bend, and the resulting rise in rents and home prices, affordable housing is a top priority for the city. In fact, they added efforts to address the issue to their list of top priorities at the end of Wednesday night's council meeting.
The next big project on a developer's drawing board is a 600-home subdivision on Brosterhous Road in southeast Bend, which won unanimous city council approval Wednesday night.
"The opponents of this project, I don't think are really opponents," Councilor Mark Capell said earlier Wednesday. "They just want to make sure that we build the infrastructure to support the project."
Critics have cited the current lack of infrastructure like sidewalks and bike lanes on stretches of Brosterhous Road.
"The city is aware of that, and some of that is going to be fixed by the developer," Capell said.
Development in the area is possible after the city expanded the sewer system.
A new elementary school is set to open in the fall of 2015 and is already under construction.
"This is the start of seeing a lot more development on the southeast side," Capell said.
Despite the punch in the housing market, city officials want to make sure to not get back into another housing bubble.
"What we don't want to do is go back into the unsustainable boom that we were in a number of years ago," said Capell.
The Old Farm District Neighborhood Association had voiced concerns about the infrastructure around the construction site, south of Reed market Road and north of Brosterhous Road.
Councilors were briefed by city Engineer Russ Grayson about the draft development agreement in the works to use SDCs (system development charges) for area road improvements beyond what the site itself requires.
They include adding bike lanes and sidewalks along Brosterhous, as well as extending Brentwood Avenue to American Lane.
In other action, councilors voted 5-0 (with Sally Russell abstaining) to spend up to $150,000 on more legal fees involving the court fight with foes of the city's $21 million water pipeline replacement project. Councilor Doug Knight, who opposed going forward with that plan in the past, cast a reluctant yes vote to not "strand" the city in its legal fight.
Councilors also unanimously approved the city's first stormwater master plan, at a 20-year cost of about $25 million -- far less pricey than the some $200 million the city estimated it would have to spend on the issue several years ago.

Topic Suggestion Description
View Topic Suggestion Disposition
Date submitted: September 20, 2012
- Briefly describe a specific question, or set of related questions, about a health care test or treatment that this program should consider.
- For patients with sickle cell anemia, what is the safe alternative to blood transfusion in management of anemia?
- Does your question include a comparison of different health care approaches? (If no, your topic will still be considered.)
- yes
- If yes, explain the specific technologies, devices, drugs, or interventions you would like to see compared:
- Herbal plants (Telfaria occidentalis and Solanum leaves)versus blood transfusion in management of anemia
- What patients or group(s) of patients does your question apply to? (Please include specific details such as age range, gender, coexisting diagnoses, and indications for therapy.)
- Sickle cell anemia patients , pregnant women who are anemic and other patients that suffer from diseases that may affect red blood cell count / leading to anemia.
- Are there subgroups of patients that your question might apply to? (For example, an ethnic group, stage or severity of a disease.)
- This question will apply to Africa- American patients, who are mainly affected by sickle cell disease (SCD)and other ethnic groups at risk of the different variant of SCD. Also pregnant women.
- Describe the health-related benefits you are interested in. (For example, improvements in patient symptoms or problems from treatment or diagnosis.)
- This therapy is widely used in sub-Saharan African especially in Nigeria as a home therapy in treatment of SCD crisis. This has often led to reduction in hospital stay and severity of symptoms as it boosts red blood cell count as well as tackle dehydration.
- Describe any health-related risks, side effects, or harms that you are concerned about.
- The health-related side effects that am concerned about borders on the hygienic preparation of the plant extract as it is given raw. Also there is the issue of side effect which may arise as a result of lack of information on appropriate dosage of administration.
Appropriateness for EHC Program
- Does your question include a health care drug, intervention, device, or technology available (or likely to be available) in the U.S.?
- unsure
- Which priority area(s) and population(s) does this topic apply to? (check all that apply)
- EHC Priority Conditions (updated in 2008)
- Pregnancy, including preterm birth
- AHRQ Priority Populations
- Low income groups
- Minority groups
- Women
- Individuals with special health care needs, including individuals with disabilities or who need chronic care or end-of-life health care
- Federal Health Care Program
- Describe why this topic is important.
- This topic is important because of the fact that it proposes the use of natural alternative for the treatment of anemia instead of transfusion which may be a veritable route for transfer of infectious diseases like hepatitis etc. It is also a very inexpensive alternative to transfusion.
- What specifically motivated you to ask this question? (For example, you are developing a clinical guideline, working with a policy with large uncertainty about the appropriate approach, costly intervention, new research you have read, items in the media you may have seen, a clinical practice dilemma you know of, etc.)
- I was motivated to ask this question through my personal experience in the use of extract of these leaves in boosting hemoglobin count faster and safer without transfusion during SCD crisis.
Also, the fact that most developing economy does not have a well planned health care insurance scheme which can help in lowering cost of management of anemia in patients motivated this question.
- Does your question represent uncertainty for clinicians and/or policy-makers? (For example, variations in clinical care, controversy in what constitutes appropriate clinical care, or a policy decision.)
- no
- If yes, please explain:
Potential Impact
- How will an answer to your research question be used or help inform decisions for you or your group?
- Answer to this research question will help anemic patients needing transfusion to make informed decisions on method of doing so, cheaply, safely and less risky.
- Describe the timeframe in which an answer to your question is needed.
- Answer to this question is needed urgently as a result of the reduced life expectancy of SCD patients due to low blood counts.
- Describe any health disparities, inequities, or impact on vulnerable populations your question applies to.
- It is a known fact that management of anemia especially in SCD is crucial to recovery during crisis. Thus this question will have a tremendous impact on these vulnerable group

As Monday's deadline looms, Pfizer's takeover bid for AstraZeneca looks dead in the water — at least for now.
Despite mounting pressure from shareholders — including BlackRock, which has reportedly urged it to return to negotiations — Astra's management appears unlikely to reverse its swift rejection of Pfizer's "final" £55-a-share offer.
Shares in AstraZeneca retreated 38p to 4236.75p — this means that they're now 587.5p lower than their record high just a week ago.
But the price is still above its pre-bid level, with many in the City hoping a deal could yet be done.
Rumours are swirling that hedge funds are buying into Astra in a bid to force the board to open discussions with Pfizer. A fresh bid could only be tabled in three months, but it would be better than nothing.
With the long weekend and half-term looming, many in the City took the opportunity to take some risk off the table. Mike McCudden at Interactive Investor said: "Investors are reluctant to throw caution to the wind ahead of the long weekend and with a headwind of geopolitical uncertainty."
Many of yesterday's biggest risers fell today, as traders found it hard to resist banking a bit of profit. United Utilities fell 8p to 849p, SABMiller lost 25p to 3346.75p, Smith & Nephew dropped 8.5p to 947.75p, Halfords tumbled 7p to 482.35p and Imagination Technologies was 4.5p lower at 216.5p.
With the first three listed on the benchmark, the FTSE 100 was dragged down 11.54 points at 6809.02. However, another Footsie stalwart, paper and packaging specialist Mondi, was in demand and climbed 30p to 1081p.
Polymetal International fell 14.6p to 496p on the FTSE 250 after a downgrade from UBS, which warned that yesterday's $618.5 million (£367 million) acquisition of the Kyzyl gold project in Kazakhstan has made it a riskier bet.
Blur Group tumbled to the bottom of AIM after revealing its pre-tax loss widened to $6.37 million last year, from $1.81 million in 2012. The firm, which lets businesses book service contracts online, also revealed it has tapped investors for £12 million through a placing at a 28.9% discount.
Blur has issued two revenue warnings in recent months, sending shares tumbling just over 80% since the middle of April. Blur lost 21.44p to 82.5p.
Mediterranean Oil & Gas jumped 1p to 6.62p after Rockhopper — up 0.25p at 94.62p — announced plans to buy the energy explorer for £29.3 million. Investors will bank a 15.6% premium on yesterday's close price.Reuse content

When it's sick of the beach, the restaurant, the funfair and the park, romance sometimes turns to the groves of Academe. And even, more specifically, to the archive, that dark, wooded, private place that only an elite few can enter.
Possession, directed by Neil LaBute and based on the best-selling novel by A.S. Byatt, turns academic research into a thrilling and sexy pursuit conducted by gorgeous and seemingly wealthy young people in fabulous locations such as sandstone libraries, attics, French nunneries and quaint B&Bs by the Cornish seaside.
The film should clearly be classed as a fantasy.
Possession is set in England, of course, the place where knowledge was invented. Now, this knowledge is preserved and possessed in historic buildings in London, Oxford and Cambridge, buildings lit by stained-glass windows and green reading lamps and featuring countless camera-friendly flagstones, porticos, cloisters and flocks of pigeons.
These locations make for great sets in Possession and other love stories that trade on the romance of the well-funded traditional sandstone European university, whether it be in Britain (Oxford University in Shadowlands), the United States (Princeton in A Beautiful Mind) or Australia (the University of Melbourne in Love and Other Catastrophes).
But as I watched the love affair unfold between Possession leads Gwyneth Paltrow (Dr Maud Bailey) and Aaron Eckhart (visiting American scholar Roland Michell), an affair that is supposed to mirror the hot antics of their research subjects, Victorian poets Christabel LaMotte (Jennifer Ehle) and Randolph Henry Ash (Jeremy Northam), my mind drifted off to the many cash-strapped Antipodean archives and university libraries I myself have worked in.
Charm and romance are not words I would associate with such places, peopled as they are by genealogists and military-history enthusiasts armed with pencils and rather loud voices so they can attract and hold the attention of the one archivist on duty, grilling them about gunpowder, 19th-century food preservation techniques and the history of the fire engine in country Victoria.
In these places, the fluoro light has replaced the Deco reading lamp and the desk tops are made from Formica rather than wood. The dress code is strict: brown jerseys, beards, reading glasses on chains and, for women, baggy shirts with loud patterns worn over comfy pants.
Money is always short, staff numbers have always been cut and certain key international journals are no longer available.
Given this experience, the only university I have recognised on film is the one presented in Facing the Music (2001), a documentary about the University of Sydney's music department, made by Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson.
The movie stars Anne Boyd as herself, a workaholic conservative composer and academic who is transformed into a fierce protester as she fights to protect her staff, students and curriculum from the impact of vicious budget cuts.
Sydney Uni may have its fair share of sandstone but Boyd and her handful of tired and unusual colleagues spend their time sitting on rickety chairs in ugly rooms debating which courses they will be able to keep.
It is a depressing vision, a world away from the luxurious and inflammatory paradise of the mind presented in a film like Possession.

We weren't the only ones to baulk at a name change which meant that, in some sense, Yves Saint Laurent was no longer. But credit where credit is due: Hedi Slimane has certainly breathed new life into the fashion house with his spring 2013 outing under the Saint Laurent label.
And while the fashion house's name change is actually a reversion to past days, one could also argue that the the lighter name heralds in a lighter overtone of the very same origins. Sure, you can highlight the 1970s fashion vibe, but who wasn't expecting it? Past seasons often avoided it, but there was a reason that there was more than one change at the top of the fashion house. And that light 1970s touch is precisely what was needed. Reimaginings of '70s fashions have been with us for some time, but they've often been clones as opposed to modern reworkings. There's little of that here. Instead Slimane has create a collection with the same strengths that made his work at Dior Homme so influential: it's full of ideas that seem familiar, yet wholly more modern and thus far more appealing.

Russia: The High Cost Of Easy Money
Credit Suisse First Boston should have spotted the red flags when Russian oil company Tatneft asked for a short-term loan last February. Oil prices were sinking fast. Tatneft was already saddled with $828 million in hard-currency debt, roughly equaling its 1997 export earnings. Worse, the company had admitted it was funneling loan money from foreign banks into the treasury of the Tatarstan regional government, which holds a controlling 32.4% stake in Tatneft. Even so, CSFB quickly approved a $220 million unsecured loan--one of many it offered Russian companies even as the country's finances deteriorated.
Now, Tatneft is buried under a pile of hard-currency debt and looking for a way out. After narrowly avoiding default in November on a $300 million Eurobond, the country's fourth-largest oil producer is deep in talks with CSFB and other creditors to restructure about $600 million in outstanding loans. Scores of other Russian companies are stuck in the same situation. Even if most creditors agree to restructuring, as seems likely, these companies will struggle for years making repayments on loans they should never have received.
BLIND EYE. The saga of Tatneft illuminates how Russian companies embarked on a disastrous borrowing spree--partly prodded by foreign bankers--in the months before the country's economic collapse. Fooled by a slight uptick in Russia's economy, foreign bankers bent their own rules on credit risk in the rush to forge client relationships in 1997. Many turned a blind eye as borrowers invested loan proceeds in risky Russian bonds or squandered the money on shaky investments. With easy money flooding in, Russian borrowers didn't worry about how to repay loans. "There was so much credit, the companies began to believe that they didn't need to behave well," says Stephen O'Sullivan, co-head of research at United Financial Group, a Moscow investment bank.
Indeed, the money kept coming even after Russia's stock and bond markets nosedived along with Asia's late last year. As weakening markets hampered their ability to raise capital, Russian companies increasingly turned to U.S., European, and Japanese banks. After boosting their foreign borrowing from $1.5 billion to more than $6.8 billion in 1997, the companies borrowed another $5.2 billion in the first eight months of this year, according to Loan Pricing Corp., a New York-based agency that tracks lending. Foreign bankers turned off the spigot in August after Russia devalued the ruble. But by then it was too late. "There's no chance of recovering our money," says a Western banker.
Only a year ago, Tatneft looked like one of Russia's most creditworthy companies. It had reliable hard-currency earnings, and it had brought in Price Waterhouse to bring its books up to U.S. accounting standards and U.S. consultants Miller & Lents Ltd. to audit its oil reserves. Profits in 1997 were $12.3 million on sales of $2.5 billion, up from 1996 when the company lost $290 million. Tatneft had been one of the first Russian companies to issue American depositary receipts, and its shares rose 242% in the first nine months of 1997, before slumping along with other Russian stocks.
EXPOSED LENDERS. Tatneft had started borrowing from the West in 1994, when Dresdner BaNk opened a $60 million line of credit secured by the companY's oil exports. The borrowing remained modest until 1997, when Tatneft took out $528 million in short-term loans from banks including Chase Manhattan Corp., Britain's West Merchant Bank, France's Societe Generale, and Germany's Berliner Bank and BHF-Bank. Tatneft says the loans were chiefly to finance equipment to boost the productivity of its wells. But the company was also handing over cash to the government of Tatarstan, a semiautonomous republic in Russia that runs its economy with a strong hand. Unable to raise money for a backlog of unpaid bills, Tatarstan made Tatneft its cash cow, taking at least $105 million from the company in 1997 and another $280 million so far this year, the company says.
Surprisingly, foreign lenders didn't seem overly concerned. When Chase Manhattan arranged two syndicated loans totalling more than $140 million in 1997, Tatneft in turn loaned more than half the proceeds to Tatarstan. Both loans were secured by Tatneft's export earnings, then about $800 million annually. Chase Manhattan says it wasn't told about the relending to Tatarstan and wouldn't have approved loans for that purpose. But Maxim Dyomin, financial adviser to Tatneft CEO Rinat Galeyev, says the company informed Chase Manhattan and other lenders, and they didn't object.
Industry analysts say Tatneft's re-lending was well known. A disgruntled officer at another Western bank that lent to Tatneft confirms that his bank knew about the practice before approving its loan, but says Tatneft didn't reveal the full extent of it until months later. "In retrospect, clearly we should not have lent to them," the banker says. "No amount of market share is worth that kind of risk." CSFB was one of the most exposed lenders because its loan was unsecured. The company declined to comment.
Tatneft has its own regrets. Since the August devaluation, the ruble cost of its hard-currency debts has more than doubled. The company's revenues are projected to fall at least 8% this year, to $2.3 billion, because of depressed oil prices. It also lost $65 million in Eurobond proceeds it had invested in Russian treasury bills before the government defaulted. "It was a mistake to borrow a huge amount of short-term debt. But we didn't know there would be such a change in the financial situation," Dyomin says.
Tatneft is still pumping oil, and it can use an estimated $571 million in hard-currency earnings this year to help pay off its debts. But the company is hurting. To raise cash to meet its $8.2 million monthly payroll, Tatneft now is issuing IOUs backed by crude-oil sTocks. On Oct. 29, the company missed a $13.5 million Eurobond coupon payment, but it scraped together the money before Nov. 20, when a default would have been triggered.
Foreign lenders were especially drawn to oil producers such as Tatneft because of their hard-currency earnings. But now, the oil companies are struggling to pay an estimated $1.1 billion in loan payments due by yearend, and bankers who once willingly rolled over their loans no longer want to do so. Russia's biggest oil company, Lukoil Holding, is one exception: It has not only kept up payments but is negotiating additional loans. Unlike Tatneft, Lukoil is not controlled by a localgovernment that could raid it for cash. And it is considered relatively transparent and well managed.
"USEFUL" EXPERIENCE. As Russia's indebted companies hunker down in talks with creditors, analysts are predicting Tatneft will win a restructuring deal that will pull it back from the brink. Analysts say that's because lenders don't want to trigger a default in which they'd have to battle other creditors to get paid. Financial adviser Dyomin promises if Tatneft secures such a deal, it will keep much tighter control of finances in the future. "In some ways, this experience may be useful for our company," he says.
But such promises will mean little as long as cash-strapped local authorities control the company. Foreign lenders may once have ignored what borrowers did with their money. They won't make the same mistake again. For those such as Tatneft, there may still be a long hard climb up the learning curve.

/// Don't Hold Your Breath on That Apple Hulu Deal
If you stop by a Subaru dealer and end up kicking the tires on a new Outback, are you in early talks to consider a bid on a new Outback? Well, sure. But if you drive off the lot in your old Civic and never come back, no one's going to be shocked. So yes, Apple has met with the bankers marketing Hulu, people familiar with the sales process tell me, confirming earlier reports by Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal . But I've yet to find anyone who thinks Apple is a serious candidate for the video site. Remember, as Kara Swisher wrote earlier this month: "'In preliminary talks' = 'hawking itself to one of a half dozen big moneybag tech companies who will visit with Hulu's bankers and management to see its presentation at Morgan Stanley's office in Century City in Los Angeles.'" And you may as well read the rest of the post , too, because not much has changed since then.

Southwestern Tortilla Salad
This Tex-Mex favorite comes together in minutes. You'll be surprised by how quick and easy it is to make your own refried beans—and how much better they taste than the ready-made variety.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 8 taco shells
- 5 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 cups drained and rinsed kidney beans (from one 19-ounce can)
- 1/3 cup tomato salsa
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons wine vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 head romaine lettuce, shredded
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 avocado, cut into thin slices
- 1/4 pound cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
- 1 roasted chicken, bones and skin removed, meat shredded (about 1 pound meat)
- 1/3 cup black olives, such as Kalamata, halved and pitted
How to make this recipe
Heat the oven to 350°. Put the taco shells on a baking sheet and bake them until crisp, about 8 minutes. Break each one in half.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Add the beans, salsa, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, mashing with a potato masher, for about 5 minutes.
In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, pepper, chili powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the remaining 4 1/2 tablespoons oil, whisking. Add the cilantro.
To serve, spread one side of the taco-shell halves with the refried beans and put four on each plate. Top with layers of the lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, chicken, and olives. Pour the dressing over the salads.
Suggested Pairing
The forceful flavor of cheddar cheese and the saltiness of the olives will go very nicely with a crisp and lively Sauvignon Blanc from California.

2nd place Jonathan Gaviao just misses becoming first player to win two Circuit Main Events in the same season
Shortly before Christian Pham took his seat in the Caesars Palace Las Vegas Circuit Main Event, he and his friends had a Chinese dinner that ended with a fortune cookie. That fortune cookie read, "All your dreams will come true." That cookie sure wasn't lying.
Just a few days ago, Christian Pham was home in St Paul, Minnesota with no intention of playing poker in Sin City. However, he got a call from a backer offering to put him into the Circuit event and fly him out to boot. On a single day's notice, Pham hopped a plane to Vegas with hope of making his poker dreams come true. Today, he did just that, winning the Circuit Main Event here in Las Vegas, earning $214,332, the Circuit ring, and a seat into the 2014 WSOP National Championship in Las Vegas.
To add even more to Pham's Cinderella story, consider that he won his way into the Main Event via a $200 satellite. While Pham has a track record of results in Minnesota, this was his first big Vegas event and he made the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity at just a fraction of the cost of the buy-in.
With his sponsors and friends cheering him on, Pham played his way through a field that included bracelet winners, Main Event final tablists, and some of the best pros on the Circuit.
The final table featured competition in the form of Chris Lindh, the 16th place finisher in last year's WSOP Main Event, ring winner Ben Keeline, and Jonathan Gaviao, who is just a month removed from his Main Event victory in the Harrah's Tunica Main Event.
Pham came into the final day of play as the shortest stack of 14 players and certainly one of the least experienced, but that didn't stop him from chipping up. He doubled thru Chris Lindh during the first hour of play and never looked back, knocking out opponents, picking off bluffs, and pulling off some bluffs of his own.
Even though it was Pham making waves, as the final table field thinned, all eyes focused on Gaviao, who was attempting to become the first player to win two Circuit Main Events in the same season. While Gaviao came up short of the second title, finishing in second place to Pham, he has put together one of the most impressive stretches of Main Event results we've seen on the Circuit in a couple of years. First, he took 14th in the Choctaw Main Event, then he won at Harrah's Tunica, and now he has a second place finish and another six-figure score to add to his career earnings.
It was quite a run for Gaviao, but today belonged to Pham, who played with panache at the table, acting quickly, keeping up the aggression, and throwing in a little theatricality for good measure. As he explained following his victory, he knew he was a good poker player based on his Minnesota results, but this was his chance to prove himself on a larger stage.
Pham did just that, defeating a stacked field of 697 entries in this year's event, and now he has a national stage at his disposal come May when he takes his seat in the 2014 WSOP National Championship in Atlantic City. When Pham learned he would be playing in front of the ESPN cameras for a gold bracelet and a chance at the lion's share of a seven-figure prize pool, it sounded too good to be real.
It is though. As the fortune cookie says, it is a poker player's dream come true.

A GSD in New Jersey gets summonned to Jury Duty
That's funny. I'm sure an interesting phone call for the owner to make to the court.
Careful - this dog will be able to cast a vote next. lol
That is pretty funny :)
My SD got his own credit card. He was offered one and I wanted to see if it REALLY could happen since there had been some news articles about it happening. Apparently, he had a great credit score and got issued a card in his name. He got quite good at shopping online. I, of course, paid for his purchases.
Love it. Im sure IV would make a great juror as long as the jury didn't get sequestere.
Cara I told Lucky about your dogs credit card arrangement . Lucky says he wants a credit cardso he ca order bully sticks and treats from Amazon
Gah! Thank goodness German Shepherds don't have thumbs. We would all be in serious trouble. lol
My vet addresses all the appointment reminders to Della [Mylastname]. The text typically reads something like: "Della, did you know that April is Heartworm awareness month?"
"Why, no maam. I was not aware of that. Let me drive myself right over, pay my own vet bill, then drive back and take the medicine you prescribed. Oh, wait, nevermind, I'm still a dog :)
LOL! That's what happens when you list the little buggers as dependents on your income taxes.
My SD went to jury duty too -- not his summons though -- mine. The lawyers actually released me and asked if the dog could stay on the jury -- I believe they were joking. The judge dismissed us both.
Yes, my dog ordered frequently from Amazon, Petsmart home delivery, and one of those mail order dog food places (I forget which one) but my food wasn't offered in my rural area at the time.
He's been gone nearly 2-1/2 years and when his card renewed this time I finally called in and cancelled it. Fortunately, his name is a somewhat gender nonspecific one and they would talk to me about the card.

Publication | Dr. Kamran KhodakhahNew Target For Dystonia Therapy—Dystonia—when someone's muscles contract uncontrollably—is the third most common movement disorder (after Parkinson's and essential tremor), affecting about 250,000 Americans. Research and treatment for the most common inherited form of dystonia, called DYT1, has focused mainly on the basal ganglia region of the brain. But new animal research by Einstein scientists implicates a different part of the brain—the cerebellum—as the site of the problem. The study, published in the February 15 online issue of eLife, was led by Kamran Khodakhah, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience and the Harold and Muriel Block Chair in Neuroscience. He and his colleagues made their discovery after generating the first mouse model of DYT1 to exhibit the overt symptoms of dystonia seen in patients. Previous research in Dr. Khodakhah's lab has shown that severing the link between the cerebellum and the basal ganglia might be an effective way to treat cerebellar-induced dystonias....more
