What types of changes are going to be made?

The three biggies are Requiring a Clinic to have all Owners and employees go through complete back ground checks, including financial disclosures for a 10 year period .... Reducing the allowable number of narcotics a patient can get without going back to the doctor for refills...... and requiring urine testing of patients receiving assorted specified drugs to verify they are actually taking them in the amount prescribed and Not taking other drugs while taking prescribed drugs.
An example would be if you were prescribed Lorcets for chronic pain and they urine test and find none in your system then they have to revoke the script... Of if they find meth, cocaine, pot and lorcets again they have to revoke the script and notify authorities...

Kasper Law shows if you are getting Drugs from more then one doctor and it shows on all computers that set up with doctors and drug stores you have a problem that you need med and tests that show you are sick with a condition that the med are needed for you should not have a problem getting med if not then you don't need to be getting things thats what it all about that way the system can't be miss used

I thought they already did that stuff anyway. I know people who have been cut off their pain meds, due to faulty drug testing.
#8 Oct 1, 2012
true... in this town ..but there is honest people that have never abused drugs.... but because the addicts the docs stereo type everyone thats why it is a good law

I thought most doctors offices already drug tested every monthand quit giving refills on narcotics.I have an older realitive that was getting pain meds from her family doctor,and they told her they werent writing them anymore and she would have to go to the pain clinic.They said gov. beshear had passed a law that said only pain clinics can prescribe pain meds.I'm not sure if thats all true but thats what they told her.She doesnt abuse them but shes being put out twenty bucks a month in gas now just to go and sits there for over three hours.Its rediculious.
#13 Oct 8, 2012
No true words said as Doctors stero typing everyone as a drug abuser its politics and money who you know and who you blow as the old saying goes...it has got so now people dont get sick unless the Dr allows them to be .....I guess people will have to get hands full of mudd and straw and bite sticks and rub grease on there wounds...I hope how soon they make everyone in Amarica weare uniforms and live in the same Government houseing make being rich Illeagal a crime to have to much money in the bank and if you get to much money the Government automatically takes it away and if you hide it they put you in jail...and that would go for seantors and congrass and all heads of state , I wander who the One man will be that tells us all what we will do then?
#14 Oct 9, 2012
hace worked hard all my life like many im sure never been without insurance .now that im not able to work , cant get help. they say this the land of plenty and of the free. well what good does a country make all these claims. and yes i will get some oppinions about those that fight for me and everyone else , but those dont get help when they get home and give up soo much . this country is just vicious circle of the rich verses the poor .
#15 Oct 10, 2012
No one should have to go without health care,No matter how young or old, does it make sense if someone is in pain to say Ohh how sad I see you have cancer Is it hurting they say it does Umm well, and I see you have nerve pain in your spine must be sad, do you scream Out real Loud sometimes? what bad luck your having , Im glad Im in good health and not in pain , Oh my , it looks like your teeth is rotted all the way down to the gums do they hurt? they look horrable they would have to hurt as bad as they look , If a human can live a wealthy painless life and know that others is in almost living hells and say well , its not my problem I cant help it they just fell down and broke there leg I never shoved them down why should I care, when people can become that hard hearted and just care for self and me and mine , our soceity is about to crumble apart and all will be in pain and suffering in the dark moaning in misery before to long.
#16 Oct 10, 2012
They don't realize what they have done by coming up with this new law because they are forcing even more people that actually need pain medication to have to use all of their disability income and go out of the state to get it from a doctor there. And they are getting ready to see an explosion in the crime rate going off the scale. If they think it was bad before, man are they getting ready for a nightmare. They haven't seen anything yet, but wait and see how things are in 6 months from now. If they thought the jails were overcrowded before, they better get ready to start building them on just about every street corner. And people that are getting medications, you better start sleeping with a gun, and get ready for anything that you have of any value to be stolen, or attempted to be stolen. I pray to God that I am wrong, but I don't think I am.
#17 Oct 10, 2012
You know they have tried to replace the house of prayer and turn it in to a police station, and they have tried to make the Doctors Jesus Christ, and turn the Holy Ghost in to Kasper the all watching eye.....cause they dont know the Almighty God that sees all and his son Jesus Christ You ever hear of the anger of the Lord? Honey they been people die and suffer and this palce has lied from its pulpits for the love of Money they all are full of the pure evil and it shall come to pass God will Judge them for this...No Flag , No army, No Government, No Church , No Dr nothing will be abel to withstand the Lords Jedgements when they come on to wiked men that has abused the suffering and sick they still may be a small space of repentance for them if they would repent of there hateful ways and let God change there hearts I hate to see the Lod Judge them for what they have did to the sick and suffering.
#18 Oct 10, 2012
but now sometimes when people have pressed and pressed upon the weak and suffering without any mercy the Lord will move and bring them down the ones that has no sickness and has all the good of this life and thinks of there self as better and takes pleasure in others pains and turns there heads away and only sees the bad, The Lord is the Great equalizer of man he will put all on the same dirt floor naked standing hungry and barley alive clinging to life , Mr big Mr Im good better then them its not my problem You will find out what a problem that will come your way when the Lord God anger is against you for not having any mercy and saying you believe in Christ he want allow you to whore his sons name like that The Lord will show you wich side of the bread is butterd he will bring you down so low you will be a looking up at rats crawling over your face and say how did this ever happen to me I dont understand.
#19 Oct 10, 2012
I dont worship faith based, that is a antiChrist saying, it is a word used to remove the name of Jesus Christ and any words that is spoken to water down the name of the Lord is antiChrist , and faith based is a wicked saying to use....it allows for liers to cross from Church to Government for personal gain and Love of money...My Lords name is Jesus Christ...not faith based.
#20 Oct 10, 2012
God will not see the helpless suffer by the hands of mighty men and powers of this world without justice because he is Just God and full of mercy but also will judge the unrepted wiked for there sins against the poor and helpless ones that trust him for there help.

A Persona By Any Other Name...
Posted by Vidya Drego on July 23, 2009
[Posted by Vidya Drego]
There was an interesting article in the New York Times on July 16, 2009 titled Before Creating The Car, Ford Designs The Driver. I think the article highlights nicely how understanding users' behaviors, attitudes, and goals -- in the form of a person -- allows designers to design something (in this case a car) that meets those users' needs instead of their own. Although this article doesn't call them that, the tool Ford seems to be using is something Forrester has been writing about for some time. The concept, called personas, are behavioral archetypes created from ethnographic research used in the design of products (both online and offline) and services. While I applaud Ford designers for their use of this tool, there are a number of other companies that have used the tool successfully in their industry since they were introduced by Alan Cooper in 1999.
Forrester has reviewed a number of personas over the last ten years (we haven't seen Ford's personas) and unfortunately, many of them miss the mark. Common problems include creating archetypes that aren't believable or are overly stereotyped, lack of focus on key behaviors that enable design decisions, inconsistent behaviors, or using personas to justify business or design decisions. I'm currently updating our report on the Best And Worst Of Personas
based on the personas I reviewed from interactive agencies in interactive agencies' Web design capabilities Wave.
Do you use personas? Do you have thoughts and comments on this article or about the use of personas? We'd love to hear them!
re: A Persona By Any Other Name...
Comment from dan patterson (not verified) on Tue, 08/04/2009 - 15:50
We have been using personas for awhile at my company, long enough to remember when they were referred to as Target Audience Personas. But in this day of enlightened advertising when we are all more interested in engagement than manipulation, it's great to see them referred to simply as Personas. Hey, if it worked for KFC, why can't it work for us?Today, I believe the importance of personas is only growing due in large part to the semantic web. Historically, we looked at pretty typical consumer data points and conducted some primary research. Today, we need to understand a user's complete digital ecology so we can see how THEIR version of the web is formed based on the diverse sources of data they access daily. What social networks do they lurk on or contribute to? Is their virtual book club more influential than the advertisements they see during the evening news?How do we answer these questions? Ethnographic research is still the best way. But if that isn't possible, make sure you take advantage of the available listening tools to see where your customers are and what they are saying about your brand. Incorporating this data into your personas will increase their value as you make everyday marketing decisions.

Geranium Oil (Pelargonium crispum)
Geranium oil (Pelargonium graveolens)
Geranium belongs to the Geraniaceae plant family and originates from Egypt and South Africa. We use an Egyptian variety. It is usually cultivated in the Mediterranean.
The pale green oil is steam distilled from the whole plant (leaves, twigs and flowers) and it has a rich, green, rose-like aroma. The main constituents are geraniol and citronellol. It blends well with rose and is often compared to the rose family.
Geranium oil has a sweet, beautifully floral and slightly sharp fragrance.
Aromatherapists have used it widely for its antiseptic and astringent qualities and which is useful in skin products. The astringency of the oil (the ability to constrict tissues) can make geranium helpful for flushed skins with high color and it's also often recommended for oily, pale or sluggish skins.
It is thought to have a balancing effect on the nervous system, sebum production and circulation.
The finest type of geranium oil is geranium bourbon, cultivated on the Reunion Islands in the Indian Ocean. It has a rich, rosy aroma and is grown there because of the perfect climate conditions.
For its balancing effects on the skin, we use geranium oil in our Charity Pot body lotion, a beautiful cream for the hands and the body. And all the proceeds (excluding the taxes!) go into the Charity Pot fund, finding their way into many charitable causes around the world.
We use geranium oil in our Whoosh shower jelly for its fragrance and toning qualities.

Have you had your glass of beet juice today? Word on the street is that Olympic athletes have been drinking the elixir in hopes of a performance boost. So could it work for you, too?
Professor Andrew Jones, Ph.D., Head of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Exeter in England, has done considerable research on the effects of beetroot juice and athletic performance — and he's "not at all" surprised to hear that Olympic athletes are drinking the stuff. "Athletes have known about the possible performance benefits of nitrate — found in beetroot juice — for several years," he tells HealthySELF. "It's been a big story in sports nutrition."
If you're thinking, wait, aren't nitrates BAD?, we can explain. According to Jim White, registered dietician, spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, there is a difference between the nitrates in your beet juice and the nitrates in your hot dog. "Nitrates that are found in leafy greens are not harmful like the ones in processed foods," he explains.
White is also not surprised to hear that Olympians are drinking beetroot juice — but he's a little more skeptical. "People will try anything to win, even if there is only a scintilla of evidence supporting its use," he says. "Many of these races are decided by milliseconds, and if they garner the edge, then they can be at the top of the medal stand. Even if the results are psychological, it can provide the extra edge needed for the athlete to be victorious."
A study led by Jones, published last year in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, found that drinking beetroot juice enabled competitive-level cyclists to shave time off their long-distance rides; they were nearly 3 percent faster when they drank the juice than when they didn't. Jones and his team also found that the juiced bikers pedaled more powerfully.
Other studies have pointed to the benefits of drinking beetroot juice, which, by the way, is the same thing as "beet" juice — it's juice made out of the root of the beet plant ("It's a U.K. vs. U.S. thing," Jones explains). The New York Times reports that the drink is popular with British track and field athletes at the Olympics, like Mo Farah (gold medalist in this year's men's 10K race), as well as the U.S. team's marathon runners and many other athletes from a variety of countries in a variety of sports.
So how does it supposedly work? "The nitrate in beetroot juice allows more muscle power to be produced for the same effort, therefore reducing the time to cover a given distance," explains Jones. "The nitrate in the juice is converted to nitrite and nitric oxide in the body," he adds. This, he says, appears to improve muscle efficiency, i.e., reduce the energy cost of exercising at a particular work rate. "At the same time, blood flow to muscles may be increased," he says.
Jones adds that other foods, such as spinach and lettuce, also contain nitrate, but beetroots lend themselves well to juicing.
Want to give beet juice a whirl? Jones says you'd have to drink "around a pint a day" (that's about 16 ounces) to see the effects; however, he does say there are now concentrated beetroot juice "shots" available that contain the same amount of nitrate in a much smaller volume. Jones also says it's more likely that you'd see benefits by regularly drinking beetroot juice than just once in a while before a big game (or a trip to the gym).
Indeed, a study published last month in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism showed that drinking a single 140 ml dose of beetroot juice (which is a little under 5 ounces, and a little less than a third of a pint) just before an athletic event did NOT increase performance of the drinkers.
Nevertheless, Jones says the performance effects of beetroot juice might also be seen in non-athletes — for example, you might be better able to climb a flight of stairs without stopping. "Also, beetroot juice reduces resting blood pressure, so it should be good for improving cardiovascular health in everyone," he says.
White agrees that anyone from the professional athlete to the amateur gym-goer can benefit from eating beets and drinking beetroot juice; aside from the touted athletic benefits, beets are just plain good for you! "The beet is a low-calorie root vegetable that has many benefits," he says. Beets are high in potassium and niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and carotenoids, iron, manganese and magnesium. "They are chock-full of antioxidants, protect against heart disease and stroke, and they also fight against aging and lower cholesterol," White adds.

You aren't adding up all the micro-events together in order to determine a macro-model, but instead are starting with the macro-goals/endresults and working backwards.
Correct, though it *can* mean that the model doesn't do much to improve one's ability to either explain the phenomenon or predict future outcomes. Technically every model starts out by trying to be better than random chance as the threshold for "is it useful". So a model that can predict or explain better than a random guess can be considered a useful model (i.e. it can explain at least a nominal amount of variance in the observed outcomes). However it may not be more predictive than observing the event itself (i.e. watching the games) if it isn't a particularly strong model. It sounds like some of these advanced stats can be useful for understanding "what" makes a team successful or not (over time). The problem I see (on these boards at least) is when fans ignore observational evidence and focus solely on advanced stats to argue the merits of certain teams, players, etc. I don't believe any of these stats are predictive enough to replace actually watching games as a method of analyzing and predicting outcomes.

Block Island marina expansion remains in legal limboPosted on
Champlin's Marina expansion plans on Block Island's Great Salt Pond could wind up in Rhode Island Supreme Court following a judgment released this week by the state's Superior Court.
Judge Netti Vogel in February issued a 91-page ruling in favor of Champlin's Marina. However, those opposing the expansion – the town of New Shoreham, the Conservation Law Foundation and other environmental groups – objected to a final order offered by Champlin's, according to a report in the Providence Journal.
Vogel issued her own judgment Monday, saying that the Coastal Resources Management Council had "prejudiced" Champlin's substantial rights and that the marina's "constitutional rights were violated."
The ruling will allow the objectors to file papers calling on the state Supreme Court to review the case, the newspaper reports.
A related report in the Providence Journal states that the CRMC's leadership has been questioned and that its membership has become so decimated that it has been unable to vote on development issues for the last two months. Click here for the report.

Swarovski Steam Room Provides Luxury Relaxation
A Swiss spa resort adapts the sparkling lights of crystals to create a unique experience for guests.
The Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland is a luxury spa attraction located in the beautiful Swiss green mountains. In addition to the great views and world-class accommodations, the spa retreat also boasts Europe's first hot-spring indoor pool.
The main attraction at the spa, however, is the new Swarovski steam room which adds a touch of glamour to the traditional rooms with over 300 individual crystals adorning the walls. Colored lights create a soothing atmosphere as the crystals twinkle and reflect like diamonds.
After relaxing in the sparkling steam room, visitors can head over to the adjacent traditional Finnish Sauna and refreshing Ice Grotto. The luxury steam room is located in the resort's newly-refurbished To B. Wellbeing & Spa, a center providing a tranquil setting devoted to guest health. This Swarovski collaboration is said to provide similar inspiration to a resort in Canada.

Chicago toy fair showcases latest holiday products
By Karin Matz
CHICAGO (Reuters) - When Kathy O'Brien couldn't find the perfect dollhouse for her daughter Caitlin's 18-inch dolls last Christmas, the mother made one herself. The portable, fold-up house was an instant hit with Caitlin and her friends who came to play.
"Over the next month...every one of the girls left and said, 'Mom, can you ask Mrs. O'Brien where she bought that?' and I said, 'Well you know, maybe there's something here,'" O'Brien said.
Now, in time for the holiday shopping season, she is debuting the dollhouses at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair this weekend. O'Brien, an architect who sold her family's house in suburban Chicago to launch her new dollhouse business, hopes the exposure will translate to sales.
Organizers say this is the only toy show in the United States that is open to the public, and they're expecting more than 20,000 visitors looking to test new products and perhaps buy them ahead of the Black Friday hoopla next week.
The 150 exhibitors, a mix of large and small toy companies, will be competing in a market where consumers increasingly watch what they spend.
"There is a movement out there right now for families to buy more quality and less quantity," said Mary Couzin, president and founder of the event, now in its ninth year.
Holiday sales are critical for the more than $20-billion-a-year industry, with nearly 50 percent of annual toy sales generated in the fourth quarter. Sales from January through September of this year were down 2 percent from the same period last year, according to NPD, a market research company.
"There's not going to be just one toy this year that jumps out," said Reyne Rice, a toy trends expert. Continued...

The heather this year has displayed a vividness not seen for some time. We stopped to admire the colours at Wilverley Pit car park, a small area cut out of the New Forest gravels; it is beside the road from Brockenhurst to Burley, which looks like a grey ribbon separating two quite different terrains. A broad sweep of grassland lies to the north, while to the south the land undulates with large areas of heather interspersed with gorse breaks.
The surrounding slopes provide an ideal habitat for a range of plants that thrive on the meagre resources on offer. Autumnal fungi are beginning to appear. Many are the little brown jobs that are so difficult to identify in the field, though there are also many that look like black buttons sewn on to the turf. The largest in a colony of parasol mushrooms stands strong and tall, sheltered by bracken and brambles.
Just as we were about to leave, we spotted a speck of white on the bank. It was a solitary spike of autumn lady's-tresses. This species is the last of our wild orchids to flower. Its stems hold a spiral of tiny white flowers so tightly packed that they seem to be plaited, a feature reputed to inspire the plant's name. In the forest these flowering spikes are usually no more than 10cm tall and have to be searched for even in the short-cropped grass. Many arise without a trace of leaves, but we found one that shows something of the plant's remarkable life history.
This stem has a rosette of leaves immediately alongside it. The flowering stem is the final phase of last year's growth; the leaves are preparing for the flowers that may appear next season. They will survive the winter's grazing and then die away as the year develops. The space leading to the nectar in each flower is just large enough for the proboscis of the bees that pollinate them. As this is inserted, pollen is glued to it. Over the next 24 hours, the access expands, becoming large enough to accommodate the probing of a pollen-laden bee. When the proboscis touches the stigma, the pollen breaks away and fertilisation occurs.

Around the county in 30 days
A daily spring preview of every football program in Pinellas County
Northside Christian
Coach: Andre Dobson (third season, 9-12)
Last season: 8-3 (beat Carrollwood Day 47-10 in bowl game)
District: Independent
Key losses: RB/KR Chris Culbreth, WR/FS Will Scott, OL/DL Austin Sheldon, TE Andrew Speake
Who's back: TE Zach Fossen, RB/CB Lucio Ojeda, RB/LB Jeremy Smith, WR/DB Cody Swain, OL/DL Patrick Tomlin, WR/DB Brennan Whipple, QB Jimmy VanDeilen
What's new: Of the 24 players on varsity last season, 10 were seniors. That means the Mustangs have a lot of holes to fill. The biggest question this spring is who will replace Culbreth, who rushed for more than 1,600 yards last season and scored 20 touchdowns. The leading candidates are Smith and Ojeda. Northside also lost four of its starting offensive linemen. The lone holdover is Tomlin, who will be the anchor of a young group. The one constant on offense is VanDeilen, who returns after throwing for more than 1,000 yards and rushing for 600 more last season. Smith and Ojeda will catch plenty of balls out of the backfield. Other targets include Fossen, Swain and Whipple. The defense also will be young with Tomlin anchoring the line and Smith the leader among linebackers. Depth will be a concern with a little more than 20 kids for the spring, meaning many will have to go both ways.
Audible: "We lose Culbreth who gave us a spark in the backfield. But we'll still strive to be balanced on offense, even with VanDeilen returning." — Dobson
Did you know? Northside had one of the area's top offenses last season, averaging 29 points and more than 460 yards per game.
Spring game: Northside Christian at Skyway Park, 7:30 p.m. Saturday

Girl's Getaway: Spa + Shooting Range
MakenzieR on 10 Nov 2011 at 9:00am
Nothing says relaxing and rejuvenating girl's weekend like a medi-spa, right? Facials, massages, nails, maybe a little Botox or filler, then -- BANG -- off to the shooting range!...?
You read that right -- In Your Face brings us the tale of a Texas ranch offering a "Botox and Bullets Get Away" for you and 3-7 of your closest gal pals.
The promo for "Just for girls" weekends at the Dry Hollow Ranch near Junction, Texas says: "Now women can enjoy a pampered weekend of Gourmet-Tex food and drink, and a complete range of spa services, gently combined with handgun instruction."
It seems like an unusual pairing, but the same woman who will teach you how to handle a handgun is a registered nurse who co-operates the local medi-spa.
With this special, she'll bring the treatments right to the ranch.
So ladies, if you have a fantasy of looking smoking hot while packing heat in your hidden garter belt, Ranch Goddess Kathy can help you earn that Texas Conceal Carry Handgun license and beautify at the same time.
Personally, I think this would make an enthralling next "Night of Beauty" episode for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Chelsea fragility a concern for Di Matteo
Roberto Di Matteo says Chelsea must tighten up defensively after seeing his side revitalise their Champions League title defence with a last-ditch 3-2 win at home to Shakhtar Donetsk.
The hosts were seconds from an unhelpful draw that would have left them in third place in Group E, when substitute Victor Moses met Juan Mata's injury-time corner with a header that found the top corner.
Di Matteo admitted that the manner of victory had carried "an element of luck," and he castigated his players for twice letting the lead slip from their grasp.
"The fact we couldn't hold on to the lead twice worked against us. We need to work on closing out games," said the Italian, who has seen his team ship 14 goals in their last six games.
"You look at the goals. We've got a lot of players back, so it's not like we were outnumbered, but we certainly need to work on the automatisms of our defensive organisation."
In the absence of the injured Ashley Cole, Chelsea repeatedly found themselves exposed on their left flank, and with John Terry not match fit after his four-match domestic ban for racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, Di Matteo conceded that his side lacked a bit of know-how.
"We didn't have Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole wasn't available and JT (John Terry) didn't play," he said.
"There's a lot of Champions League experience that wasn't on the pitch and under normal circumstances, you'd want them to be there.
"But I thought the players who did play did well under enormous pressure, and they de-served credit for that."
Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu admitted the defeat was difficult to take.
He said: 'It is painful.
"Our goalkeeper made some incredible mistakes, and we made a big mistake with the third goal, because we knew it would be difficult with the Chelsea players, because they are tall and powerful.
"The referee also committed a mistake, because he said there were three minutes and not three minutes 30 seconds. There should not have been a corner, it would have been finished."

Andrea Polli
New York City based artist Andrea Polli, transforms global weather and air pollution data into mesmerizing video and sound installations. Streaming sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and ozone information from urban areas, as well as lightning, wave and wind data from the Pacific and Arctic Oceans are converted into sound and paired with computer and webcam visuals. The effect is immediate and haunting, a reminder of the countless invisibles our lives depend on.
Many of Polli's works rely on a process called "sonification", which directly translates raw data into hissing, buzzing, high-pitched sounds. She works with urban planners, atmospheric scientists and pollution experts to look at the relationships between humans and local and global climate change. "Airlight Taipei" (2006), for example, is a networked installation using real-time EPA air quality data from the city of Taipei, translated into sound and then passed through a projected real-time image taken from a highway traffic camera. "The result is an image that breaks up as air pollutants increase," creating "a rhythmic pulse that transforms throughout the day."
Other projects, such as "T2" (2006) provide "an artistic exploration of real time ocean activity using wave . .(Read more)

Glenn Greenwald on America's Two-Tiered Justice System
It may be no surprise that throughout American history, some of the nation's biggest scandals and crimes have been committed by the people at the top. It was President Richard Nixon who violated federal law when he tried to cover-up the break-in at the Democratic National Committee during the Watergate Scandal. Just a decade later, it was senior Reagan administration officials who secretly sold arms to Iran, and diverted the profits to anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua, during the Iran-Contra affair.
In both cases, while there were some convictions, nearly all parties were later pardoned — and very few people ever saw the inside of a courtroom, let alone the inside of a prison cells. These cases, where the punishment doesn't seem to fit the crime, are part of what Glenn Greenwald calls America's two-tiered justice system. That's the focus of his book, now out in paperback, "With Liberty and Justice for Some."

If anyone here is considering going to Tiremag in Concord, Ontario. Read this first.
I had my wheels powdercoated last year. They are a little brighter than the factory colour. I needed to get a puncture fixed and I was really really worried about somebody scratching my wheel. After researching here and there I decided to go with Tireworks.
BIG FVCKING MISTAKE. I told them 2 times, PLEASE be careful. My wheels are not a factory colour. If anything happens, all 4 will have to be re-done.
I go to pick up my wheel and here's what I see:
About 1/5th of the "lip" has been shaved. It's hard to see in the pictures because it's so bright but you can see the damage.
Of course they deny it happened there. One guy said it must have happened before I brought it in.
To make matters worse, I bought in 2 other wheels to get serviced. I asked that one of the tires be flipped when re-mounted. Even put a HUGE sticker on the tire saying "PLEASE FLIP INSIDE OUT". I get home and find out they flipped the other one.
So if you want to pay a bunch of monkeys to work on your wheels and mess up your wheels, go to Tiremag. Thankfully I bought the wheels there in the back of my van. If I had brought them there on my car I'm sure they would have forgotten to put lugnuts back on.

This past weekend I participated in the Tea House Studio's Holiday Fair! This was only my second time to do a craft fair where I was selling Hello Cupcake goods. If you remember, this is how my very first fair went.I learned a lot from my first fair and was able to put a lot of new ideas into motion.
I loved the way my new set up looked. Clean, consistent with the look and feel of Hello Cupcake items and much, much more professional than my last tabletop.I had a great time, met some amazing new friends and…..I sold lots of stuff!!!!!!! This fair also gave me some more confidence in my goods and I think next year I'm really going to set my sights high and go for one of the larger two day fairs like Renegade or Bizarre Bizarre.Then vs. now :)
I'll keep you posted. As always, thanks for all of your support as I continue on this journey in small business ownership. What an amazing ride!
PS: Do you recognize a bunch of my setup from our wedding!?!

Web site is very friendly to use. I found parts for my Volkswagen that I could not find otherwise. Communication was great and the shipping was prompt. I will use PartsGeek again.
I placed two sseperate orders on different days and both were waiting at home for me less than 24 hours after placing the order. And that was with their UPS ground shipping. I ordered trunk struts and the ones they shipped were original equipment parts from Mercedes Benz. The cabin filter I ordered was aftermarket but very good quality at less than half the cost that I was seeing elsewhere. I am very happy with Parts Geek and will use them again. I even recommended them to my boss who has also bought parts for his car which is the same model Mercedes as mine.

Research Interests
Many current and planned research projects rely on permeation of target analytes through polymer membranes. This process has been evaluated as a method for collecting environmental samples from air and water. Passive samplers for formaldehyde and ethylene oxide in air and a range of priority pollutants in water have been developed. At present, various classes of pesticides are being studying using this sampling approach. Beyond providing time weighted average samples; the approach also reduces or eliminates the need for toxic solvents. Protective barriers, such as gloves, represent another type of membrane where chemicals can be expected to permeate. Permeation characteristics of glove materials are being determined.
Development of improved glove materials is planned. These studies involve the development of models based on simple solubility tests. The goal is to create a simple approach for prediction of glove performance. Permeation also is being evaluated as a low cost GC/MS or LC/MS interface for select systems.
The method of Principal Component Analysis is being applied to a number of data sets. Research in this area falls into two general areas. There are several projects where the method is used to either identify or characterize complex chromatographic results obtained from samples such as whiskey, coffee, wine or other beverages. With these projects, the goals are to develop artificial intelligence systems that automatically identify contaminants, classify samples, or gain understanding about how the beverage was produced. The process also is being applied to three-dimensional data sets such as 2-D NMR and GC/MS. Using PCA it is possible to remove noise and artifacts from the data, dramatically improving signal to noise and data quality.
By using a mass spectrometer as a gas chromatographic detector, it is possible to employ stable isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen as tracers for evaluating a range of biological systems. Unlike studies involving radioactive labels, this approach not only provides information about the incorporation of a label - it yields specific location. Methods are currently being developed that determine enrichment levels and positional information for the majority of the amino acids and are being applied to bacterial and mammalian systems.

N hemispere binoc w compass not working in S?
Hi Bulleye,
Some principles of magnetism should be discussed to better understand what the vendor tried to explain.
The force of attraction magnetic field is greatest at the poles of the earth and least in the area between the two poles. The perfect place to be: Equator. The magnetic field is formed by lines of force flow from each of these poles, bending around and flow toward the opposite pole. Points of equal variation connected by an isogonic line, are plotted on Isogonic charts . In our navigation charts, we get only magnetic declination for the area. As we now, primarily correction for this, is the magnetic variation. In some places this variation is easterly; other places it is westerly.
The lines of force in the earth''s magnetic field pass through the center of the earth, exit at both magnetic poles, and bend around to re-enter at the opposite pole. Near the Equator, these lines become almost parallel to the surface of the earth. However, as they near the poles, they tilt toward the earth. In the immediate area of the magnetic poles they dip rather sharply into the earth. Since the poles of a compass tend to align themselves with the magnet lines of force, the magnet within the compass tends to tilt or dip toward the earth in the same manner as the lines of force.
Because the compass is suspended to swing freely, it tends to align with the earth''s magnetic lines of force. If you happen to be at North pole with a Southern calibrated compass, you''ll see that the card of the compass rose will almost point downwards. (And of course will get stuck, and will not longer free rotate as you change rumb.
This is known as the dip error: the compass card tends to align itself with the earth''s magnetic field. At or near the Equator this causes little or no problem, but as the ship nears either of the magnetic poles, the dip error (vertical dip in the needle) may become significant. In some areas, it may happen that the needle just dug itself into the bottom and wouldn''t read anything.
That is the main error for a compass in a ship. (In airplanes there are other errors in turning and acceleration, which I will skip discussing at this Honorable Sailing Forum)
How are these dip corrections managed by compass manufacturers: in compass for the Northern Hemisphere, a small counterweight is placed on the south seeking end of the compass needle, allowing the needle being parallel to the earth surface. In the Southern hemisphere the opposite applies and the counterweight is positioned on the north seeking end of the needle. That is the reason they only work in one hemisphere.
But, good compasses allow for this by allowing for a fairly large vertical play in the needle. But, the simple, flat compasses don''t work well in this situation because the tip of the needle hits the surface of the compass.
I recall one of the racing Cats racing The Race, changed compasses after entering Southern Hemisphere, since the needle plate got stucked.
Sorry so long, Regards
N hemispere binoc w compass not working in S?
I will admit to my ignorance here. At first, I was going to reply that there should be no difference. Before posting, I decided to do a google search (amazing what you can find) and discovered that YES there is a difference.
In general, it comes down to using counterweights on the needles in compasses to account for the force which pulls one end of the needle down (toward the earth''s center). The vertical forces are opposite in the hemispheres and so different balancing is used.
I did find, however, at least one manufacturer that makes a compass which is claimed to work fine in either hemisphere. Also note that most of the references did not speak to binoculars specifically, but apparently they are affected, too.
Thanks for postng that question; I learned something.
N hemispere binoc w compass not working in S?
i was in a binocular shop today & the salesperson warned me not to buy a pair of binoculars from the northern hemisphere(im in the southern hemisphere)ie, over the internet from the US or europe. he said the compasses required in the north or south hemisphere are different,he said a northern hemisphere binoculor with compass,that the compass would not work at all!
he said this after i told him i could buy over the internet at much cheaper prices than his.
i found the compass thing not working a little hard to believe.
was he right?, or was he just trying to make a sale?
any advice please

King's will be celebrating Go Global from Monday 29 October – an annual week hosted by Study Abroad & Internships promoting opportunities for students to spend time abroad as part of their degree and for staff to learn more about joint degree programmes and international partnerships. Go Global week celebrates the College's increasing global presence and level of engagement with international networks.
Study Abroad & Internships supports King's students in enhancing their global employability by offering a diverse range of options and destinations worldwide at King's strategic university partners and beyond. King's students can choose from over 150 partner institutions in 30 countries across five continents. Programme lengths range from single semesters to a whole year abroad – giving students the chance to really immerse themselves in a foreign culture.Professor Keith Hoggart, Vice-Principal (International), commented this week on how getting more students to study abroad is a core part of the College international strategy: 'This is vital for King's as an internationally-renowned university; it's vital for our students because all business has a global perspective these days, and it's vital for the UK's knowledge economy as the world becomes a more and more competitive marketplace.'
Tom Atterson, Academic Services Manager, Study Abroad & Internships, said: 'There are huge benefits to be reaped – from the broadening of academic horizons giving students a flipped perspective on their chosen subject of study, to the chance to deepen contact networks that spread across the world, to the increased independence and confidence living abroad for an extended period of time naturally brings.'Students can develop a huge range of skills: adaptability, greater independent thought, confidence in their own decision-making abilities, cultural sensitivity towards other people leading to an appreciation for alternate ways of behaving required outside of the UK. 'Studying abroad brings further advantages: it's an example of "added value", a term that recognises the fact that UK students want more from their degrees than ever before. Students will leave King's with not one but two transcripts, immediately making them stand out from the crowd when applying for jobs. It also offers genuine international experience whilst pursuing a UK-based degree, something again sought for by employers.'Throughout Go Global 2012 there will be sessions organised at the Strand and Guy's campuses on study abroad options, opportunities available at King's strategic partner universities and other external programmes such as Study India and Study China. Staff from King's Global Institutes will also be present to provide information about postgraduate opportunities specialising in contemporary Brazil, India and China, and International Marketing staff will be offering their expertise about the areas they regularly visit.One of the key events will be the launch of the Peer Advisors network of former Study Abroad students – to meet current students face to face and give them advice and feedback about their experiences.Sara Caterina O'Rourke, a recent King's History graduate currently undertaking an internship within Study Abroad & Internships, spent one semester in Melbourne at Monash University. She said: 'They say that Melbourne is one of the best cities to live in the entire world, and I have to say I absolutely agree. I feel my confidence has improved, my cultural awareness has been enriched and my excitement for life has been reinvigorated.'
Peer Advisor Hannah Mallinckrodt spent time in Brazil and Cuba as part of her degree. 'Although it sounds clichéd, I would say without a doubt that through a year spent away you are finally able to understand yourself and the world around you in a much more mature way,' she said. 'I wouldn't change a minute of it, not even the difficult bits!'
Another Peer Advisor, Meera Ved, spent a semester at National University of Singapore (NUS) as part of her Geography degree. NUS is one of the College's strategic partners and there are numerous opportunities for student exchanges and joint PhDs. 'It can be very satisfying as you really get to understand how the country functions and interacts with the rest of the world,' she said. 'Singaporeans in general are extremely forthcoming and genuinely interested in meeting and helping foreign visitors – I have been able to experience the best of both worlds through one degree!'
Go Global will also launch the Staff Mobility programme, offering the chance for overseas monitoring visits to partner universities to be conducted by current staff in order to both strengthen overseas relationships and develop staff skills, personally and professionally.The week will culminate in the Study Abroad Fair to be held on Friday 2 November at the Great Hall, Strand Campus, where many of King's partner institutions will be represented to meet students and provide them with information about study opportunities and experiences.For further information please contact: email@example.com For more information about Go Global 2012 and full programme details, visit the Go Global web page.

Teenage Dating: When is Your Teen Ready?
Parents of teenagers and those who have children quickly approaching the teenage years are generally concerned about how old the appropriate age is for their teens to begin dating. If you're looking for a straight to-the-point answer to this question, you aren't going to get one in this article. The reason is because teenage dating is a complex issue and the appropriate age for dating to begin varies from teen to teen. However, below you will find guidelines to help you determine whether or not your teenager is mature enough to begin the dating process.
Why Do They Want to Date? The first thing your teens need to be able to tell you is why they want to go out on dates. Some teens think that this is just something they are supposed to do because all of their friends are doing it. Others may think it's the only way to go out and have fun. However, these are not good reasons for wanting to go out on dates. The more acceptable and mature answer is because they have met someone they really like and would like to get to know better. Teenagers should have a genuine appreciation for the goal behind dating. Dating is actually the same thing as courting and should be viewed the same. Dating is designed to let two people get to know each other better so they can determine whether or not they are right for each other. While this may be a bit deep for your teen to grasp, they should be able to have a decent understanding of this concept when they begin dating – if they don't, then they probably aren't mature enough yet to begin dating. if you find that they are in fact ready to begin dating, be sure to also inform your teen about dating and abuse issues.
How Do They Handle Responsibility? Before you make the decision to let your teen date, you need to consider how well your teen handles his or her current responsibilities. For example, does he or she have a problem getting homework done, practicing for extracurricular activities, getting chores done at home, etc. All of this is important because if your teen isn't mature enough to handle all of these normal responsibilities, then more than likely, he or she isn't mature enough to add dating to the mix either.
How Is Their Decision Making? Another important aspect to consider in regards to teenage dating is how well your teen's decision making is. Is your teen independent and able to make mature decision in tough situations? For example, if all of your teen's friends get caught for cheating on an exam, was your teen able to withstand the peer pressure and say no or was your teen one of the ones caught cheating? If your teen isn't able to make the right decisions around his or her peers, then it will be even harder when they are dating and hormones come into play. So, keep this in mind too.
Do You Trust Your Teen? The final thing involved for parents making the teenage dating decision is whether or not you trust your teenager. Of course, your teen is just a teenager and will make mistakes here and there, but no one knows him or her better than you do. So, bottom line – do you trust your teen to make the right decisions when on a date? If you can't confidently say "yes" to this question then it's most likely because, deep down, you don't feel your teen is mature enough to begin dating. Before you allow your teen to date, you have to feel that they are mature enough for it – no matter how old they are.

City Will Attempt To Close Budget Gap with Hiring Freeze
Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Monday that the city is planning to implement a city-wide hiring freeze in an effort to close a more than $3 billion budget deficit for the coming fiscal year 2012, which begins July 1, 2011.
The mayor says the hiring freeze will last indefinitely, or until the Office of Management and Budget approves each agencies' savings program. City agencies will be required to submit a proposal for cutting expenses.
"The job for every one of our commissioners is to find ways to do more with less. Anybody can run an agency if your have unlimited funds. That's not the real world. The trick is, and the job is, and the responsibility is -- and I think we can do this -- to run these agencies with less money," Bloomberg says.
The mayor says there will be exceptions to the freeze, which could include positions immediately affecting public health and safety and positions that generate revenue.
The Police, Fire and the Department of Education have until October 8 to cut 2.7 percent of their current budgets and 5.4 percent for the following year and the Parks Department and the Administration for Children's Services need to identify 4 percent this year and 8 the next if they hope to avoid layoffs.
Agencies like the Department of Sanitation hire seasonally and say a freeze could impact services like winter snow removal.
The hiring freeze comes after the City Council and Mayor Bloomberg had already approved 1,100 layoffs and the loss of 4,200 more jobs in June.
The city currently employs about 300,000 workers.
This will be the ninth attempt to eliminate budget gaps in three years.

fake, doesn't show the capacity
if this is a screenshot of a customer service ticketing system, shouldnt they have every product listed in there? i count 21 (not 16) released versions of apple products on atts network:
iphone 2g - 4gb/8gb/16gb
iphone 3g - 8gb black/16gb black/16gb white
iphone 3gs - 8gb black/16gb black/16gb white/32gb black/32gb white
iphone 4 - 16gb black/16gb white/32gb black/32gb white
ipad - 16gb/32gb/64gb
ipad2 - 16gb/32gb/64gb
So the iPads don't get a colour distinction?
I call fake - which probably means it's genuine given my recent predictions...
We should see soon.
... thats why theres only iPhone 4s white and nothing more not even the memory or a different color but they have different memory and color for the iPhone 4..? even a bad photoshopped like me could manage to photo shop that anyway i don't need anymore rumors of iPhone 5 like this. i just want to know when and what.
On a side note, I like to wait till things actually happen to determine my reaction Usually people get hyped up all over nothing, or if it's truthful news they get all hyped up and are about to jump out of their pants waiting for it to be released.

Soldiers May Soon Sport High Tech Underwear Of The Future
The US Department of Defense is researching on making specialized underwear that can save the lives of soldiers.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) from the US Department of Defense is developing a prototype one-piece suit intended for soldier use. Known as 'Warrior Web,' this futuristic piece of underwear performs beyond that of regular boxers or briefs. According to sources, the proposed clothing can protect the soldier from injury, help the wearer sustain body energy, and even keep track of his vital signs. Warrior Web hopes to answer the call for efforts in improving soldier performance as well as preventing fatalities in the field.
As of October this year, DARPA is still conducting meetings before finalizing the project. The office is currently looking for researchers in advanced fields such as biomechanics, dynamics, materials technology, and others.

New Z4 to start at $54k
I was going to Autobid to look at there new renderings of the Z4, and thought I would translate the site through google and try to read it.
The number one thing that stood out to me was what they think it will cost!!!
They estimate that the car will take a HUGE,GIGANTIC jump in price and start at 43,000 Euro, or $54k. WOW!! That will surely outprice many people, including me. By the time options are put on the car it could be well over $60k.
That will make a base SLK and Boxster, even the Cayman cheaper.
I think it will be a huge mistake to start the car at a price any higher than 45k.
Does that include the German VAT of 19%? If it does, it makes it about 36000 Euros. At $1.27 per Euro, that would be 45,000....
Just sayin.....
Now I guess I will not be getting the new European built Z4. I was hoping I could get it on European Delivery trip.
The current 3.0si is 42,500 Euros in Germany, so if they're just releasing an equivalent model first, then there's almost no price change. Assuming anything at this point seems a bit premature. Now if the listed price is for a 2.0 petrol motor, then there really will be a large price increase.
Simply converting euro pricing to USD has never been an accurate way to estimate pricing. Using the same theory, the 39,400 euro base price of a 135i in Germany, where it has fewer standard options than the US version would convert to $49,000. I'd guess that given the folding hard top, and what appears to be a more complex interior, there will be a price increase, but odds are that it won't be as large as the above speculation.
Of course there is a lot of untapped potential between the $50k 335iC and the $85k 650iC...
$54k :thumbdwn:
Normally cars that are sold in Europe and the US don't directly translate according to money conversions.
Don't believe that number. BMWs will always be cheaper in the U.S., it's never a standard currency conversion.
U.S. is BMW's biggest market, and given the current economic situation, there's no way a Z4 starts higher than a 5 series.
