Should we have a 'bright line test' for misleading advertising?
Legally, misleading and deceptive advertising is based on a 'reasonable person' test. I consider on whether that is sensible on the Conversation.
In brief, including 'fine print' in advertising is a choice that a business makes. No-one forces a business to hide the true terms and conditions in fine print. Rather a business chooses to do so – presumably because this makes its advertising campaign more effective.
Maybe this is driven by consumer attention being 'caught' by a misleading headline.
Perhaps it is because the misleading advertisement misleads a group of people who then buy the product. These buyers may not satisfy the legal test of a "hypothetical ordinary or reasonable member of the class to whom the advertisements were directed". But they are still misled.
It is difficult to imagine a situation where a business 'mistakenly' misleads customers by fine print and this:
- Could not have been predicted in advance; and
- The risk could not have been avoided by the business redesigning the advertisement.
Moving to a stronger legal test for liability for misleading and deceptive advertising might make advertisements more boring. But it can also make markets work better.
3 Responses to "Should we have a 'bright line test' for misleading advertising?"
In my opinion, it is a question between a "mechanical" versus an "artistic" sense of the world.
Following a mechanical paradigm, it will make it boring but it potrays (hopefully) a better "true" and "fair" representation of the products / services.
One way of seeing this is that it will equate to a slower turnover of the products / services in the economy because now the population that ought to be "misled" would be less likely to enter the market (because they are not captured by the "gimmick"). This is a hypothesis that needs to be tested itself. Assumming this is supported, the markets work better because this prevents "deadweight loss".
So if you proceed to support this paradigm by implementing it to all sectors of the economy, you would also want to consider changing the interpretation of GDP growth because now the growth would be less in comparison to before the enactment, ceteris paribus. Fast growth (with deadweight loss) versus slow growth (with allocation efficiency)
Following an artistic paradigm, it means that the consumers have to look after themselves, for example by further education, checking the fine-print etc. No such thing as free lunch, right?
I would argue that If one is misled in this paradigm than it is to the false of the economic agent. The market does not need to bear the cost of economic agents lack of forethought. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything (with whatever "gimmick" that is). Tough line ….
However, in a case where the true terms and conditions are NOT even in the fine print, then it is a FALSE advertising that could serve as a misrepresentation / negligence conduct. Be caveat emptor.
What do you think?
I would think the people likely to buy the product would constitute "the class to whom the advertisements were directed".
Though if that class does not include that many "reasonable" people, one has to choose how to interpret the hypothetical.
One scenario to consider:: If you bring in a stricter test for misleading and deceptive advertising, will we see a greater shift to 'brand' advertising and a shift away from 'product' advertising in mediums where it is difficult to include all relevant disclaimers (mainly TV and radio)?
If this happens, is the market working better? Less people might be legally mislead, but there might also be fewer people actually informed about products.

Every student possesses a talent that can be discovered and cultivated as they grow, but rarely do students recognize this in elementary school. In the case of Stonehurst Hills Elementary School student Jaden Buckhalter, though, a true artist has already been realized.
Stonehurst Hills took notice of Jaden's talent, and his teachers and principal have him share his gift with the school community in a number of ways. From posters to bulletin boards to official school communications, Jaden has become the resident artist of Stonehurst Hills!
His teachers weren't the only ones to take notice, though. Through art, Jaden has inspired many students. A love of art may even be responsible for brining Jaden a new best friend!

I have a female black lab that is 1 1/2 yo and am having trouble with hand signals. She has been FF and CC but when I sit her on the whistle, she sits but then looks around as if she is trying to find the bird herself instead of relying on me to give her direction. I have done the T-drill thing and the baseball diamond, but occasionally she just doesn't want to look at me. Is this a confidence thing that has to be built between me and the dog or is it something else? What do you guys think?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

need recommendation for central air model - second floor 1450 SF
I'm suddenly in need of new central air replacing one of my two systems. Sorry for the layman talk. I live in Atlanta and we hover in the high 80s to low 90s for 3-4 months at least.
My HVAC guy is going to give me more details, but he say just go with a Lennox 13ACX - that's the bottom of the line. I didn't yet hear what he was planning to do for the inside part (coils part?). But the total job including install/equipment was $2100. That sounded like a great price.
I even said I might want something better than "low end". He said "nahh, it would be fine. Don't pay more when you don't need to."
I read about that unit, and it seems solid - but perhaps underpowered and only a 5 year warranty. Also seems to be "featureless" - but not sure what features I'd need beside on/off.
I'd love your thoughts on this system.
My previous system was a 2-ton (unknown sear, but it's 14 years old). He recommended the 2.5 ton.
My upstairs is 1440 square feet. Two of those rooms have vaulted ceilings. The upstairs is also very open to the first floor. A hall upstairs becomes a catwalk that splits the two-story foyer and great room. So I do feel as though the upstairs unit actually partially cools the first floor too.
My ideal "budget" is to spend as little as possible. Yet that's balanced by knowing I also want it to last and be trouble-free. The most important factor, of course, is that it cools the house. I've never been able to even get close to what the thermostat is set to. I set it to 70, it's 90 outside, and it only cools to about 78. Now as it's failing - it can barely cool to 85 when it's 90 outside.
Any recommendations on a model number/system?
for the money he quoted you and the fact that it is a five year warranty it sounds like just a outside unit. this would be dry from the manufacture and have to be charged in the field. It would use R-22 refrigerant. That refrigerant was phase out and can only be sold in new units as dry units.
To size the home if you feel 2 ton is not enough you need to do a load calculation. A lot more goes into one than square footage and area of the contry. Too big of a unit is worst than too small in many cases the main one being humidity removal. If you a/c is too big it does not run long enought when cooling to remove much humidity. In most cases a 2.5 ton would not work with out chaning the indoor unit and making changes to the ductwork.
Bottom end units are ... well ... bottom end. Granted a proper installation is the most important part of the matter, but a good installation of a higher end unit is better than a good installation of a lower end unit.
I'm not a big fan of current Lennox equipment, but then that's just me.
You are the best input in sizing the unit. If the current size has preformed well than you will not benifit from increase in size. If the system struggled to keep up most of the time during normal high temps than an increase may be needed. Like I said before an increase most time requires other work.

Work to Begin on 20th Ave NE Sidewalk
June 2, 2009
SEATTLE—A contractor working for the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) plans to begin construction on Monday, June 22, of pedestrian improvements on the eastern side of 20th Ave NE between NE 96th & NE 98th Streets. The new sidewalk fills in a missing gap in the sidewalk network and connects Sacajawea Elementary to the existing sidewalk on NE 98th Street.
The project funds come from the Neighborhood Street Fund, a community-based program that is administered by SDOT and funded by the Bridging the Gap transportation levy approved by Seattle voters.
Construction should take approximately six weeks depending on weather. On-street parking will be restricted in the construction area and the road will be open to local access only.
Any plants that are impacted by the construction of the sidewalk should be moved by adjacent property owners prior to June 22. If plants are not moved, the contractor will remove them for you and assume you do not want them.
In addition, SDOT's Safe Routes to School program will be building a sidewalk on the western side of 20th Ave NE between NE 95th & NE 96th Streets, adjacent to the entrance of Sacajawea Elementary. For more information about this project, please contact the project manager, Brian Dougherty, at (206) 684-5124 or via email at email@example.com. The construction of these to projects is being coordinated so as to minimize impacts to adjacent property owners.
For more information, please contact Thérèse Casper, (206) 684-8764, email@example.com or see the SDOT Web site at http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/btg_nsf_sacajawea.htm.
The Seattle Department of Transportation builds, maintains and operates Seattle's $12 billion transportation infrastructure. To further Mayor Nickels goal to get Seattle moving, the department manages short- and long-term investments in streets, bridges, pavement and trees, that better connect the city with the region.

Access to Bush site cut for 'security reasons'
Page Tools
US President George W. Bush's re-election campaign said on Wednesday it had cut its website off from access from certain foreign countries "for security reasons," but declined to elaborate.
"The measure was taken for security reasons," said campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel.
The Republican president's campaign said earlier it had received telephone calls about access failures.
Bush campaign aides would not offer any more details, but last week the site went down for about five hours after a denial of service attack.
When the web address www.georgewbush.com is typed from some countries, the following message appears: "You are not authorised to view this page. You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied."
AFP's bureau in Washington, whose internet access goes through Paris, was unable to see Bush's website.
The British website www.netcraft.com, which analyses internet traffic to detect fraud and count the most visited sites, said the Bush campaign website had been inaccessible from London, Sydney and Amsterdam since Monday, although Canada was apparently not affected.
The website was down and inaccessible for several hours on Tuesday in what campaign officials said could be the work of hackers.

The term "haploid" is descriptive of a nucleus, cell, or organism that has only a single set of unpaired chromosomes, i.e. half the number of chromosomes found in diploid cells. The number of chromosomes present is termed the haploid number.
All human cells except gametes are diploid, having 46 chromosomes. A gamete (ovum and sperm) is haploid, having 23 chromosomes.
Most fungi, protists, and algae are haploid, as are some insects and bryophytes, certain stages in the life cycle of plants, and the gametes (reproductive cells) of all organisms. Haploid cells are produced by meiosis. The fusion of two haploid cells restores the normal (diploid) number. See also alternation of generations.

Small forward LeBron James of the Miami Heat is held in many circles across the world as the best basketball on the planet and to some, he just might go down as the best all-around ball player of all-time. However, James finds himself in a similar situation that he was in four years, free agency. James took a lot of heat (no pun intended) from many fans for leaving his hometown team the Cleveland Cavaliers and taking his talents to south beach to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The question that is on everyone's mind is simple, will James leave Miami and take his talents elsewhere?
When James left Cleveland to come to Miami, many believed that it was a cheap way to win an NBA Championship. He was joining forces with arguably two others players that are at least in the top 15 of the NBA's best. You can still hear the loud, thunderous boos from the opposing teams fans in attendance. People burned James' jerseys for abandoning his team to go elsewhere. He opted to become a free agent a little over a week ago and teams are clamoring for his services.
The Phoenix Suns, Houston Rockets and a bevy of other teams are itching at the chance to get a meeting with James. Obviously he's learned his lesson on not making a move like the one he did with, "The Decision," and wait until the last minute to notify teams of what his intentions are. This decision will be more planned out and him and his team not making it a huge of a spectacle as his decision was four years ago. James, I'm sure, is leery of the backlash he might face if that stunt is pulled off again, or let alone, he leaves Miami. He has become much more mature of the years and has grown each year since he's come into the league.
Mouths are watering and eyes are glued to television sets in all houses once he decides where he will end up. If he leaves Miami to go to a team with even more star power, many will take away from any accolade he receives here on out and he will not be viewed as the one of the greats, because people will feel as though he needed help, even though it's a team sport. If he goes back to Cleveland, it will be a heartfelt story of James trying to finish what he started there a few years back. If he stays in Miami, it will be viewed as the dynasty continuing. So many layers and so many ways this can play out. It is always must-see when it comes to the Miami Heat.Tags: Basketball, LeBron James, Miami, Miami Heat, NBA

Back to the future
Registration is now open for SCALE 9X — register now by clicking on the winking penguin.
More times than not, Ken Starks — who pens the Blog of Helios — nails it, and his most recent item is quite possibly Exhibit A to that rule. In his latest submission, Ken responds adequately to a critic who "said that [the HeliOS Project] had wasted a computer on kids that were far too young to either appreciate the technology or use it efficiently."
Ken's blog takes the argument and slices and dices it in such a way that, if it were a Ronco product, you'd find it being advertised on late-night television.
But wait, there's more. I'll let Ken tell the story, from his blog. Ken writes:
"Skip Guenter and I do week-long computer labs during summer vacation. The kids range from 4th to 6th grade. When I first intro the class. I walk among the seated children and then I point to one of them and I say:
" 'You are going to be the first person to walk on Mars.'
"I point to another and state:
" 'You are going to discover an herbal compound that cures diabetes.'
"And to a third child I point and say:
" 'You are going to invent the nano technology that reverses blindness.'
"Then I make sure that they understand one thing. Unless they embrace and learn about the machines in front of them, none of that is likely to happen."
Amen to that, Ken.
Also, on the issue of age, there is my own experience. I started with GNU/Linux and FOSS very late — 48 to be exact, five years ago, and I've told that story here ad nauseum. However, thanks to the miracle of being my offspring (it's a miracle to me, anyway, that she's my girl), my daughter Mimi has grown up with FOSS for pretty much her entire life.
Her introduction to computers and their use, then, has always involved a high degree of FOSS exposure, and with this exposure comes a better understanding of how software works and a clearer knowledge of how software should be available to the public. It has been interesting to watch her grow along with the Free Software and Open Source philosophies; not to mention the snapshots along the way, like learning about how to install Debian at 8 under her Dad's watchful eye, or her enthusiasm today for GIMP and other programs that allow her to develop and expand her passion for drawing.
With her understanding of how the digital world works and inheriting her Dad's affinity for implementing Free Software and the Open Source paradigm, Mimi can usually be found with me at various Linux expos and shows. Not only this, she can also be found with her friends — Malakai and Saskia Wade — giving talks at expos like SCALE and the Utah Open Source Conference about "Girls in FOSS."
[As an aside: Mimi is now an Ubuntu user, in what her Fedora-using Dad hopes will be just a passing rebellious phase. Or not. But rather than rend my garment and wail skyward, "I have no daughter!" I would prefer to be proud of her beyond words for trying a variety of distros and settling on one that works for her. That's my girl.]
Back to the art, though: Mimi has developed an artesian depth of artistic talent, and my eternal gratitude goes to Bill Kendrick and the developers of Tux Paint for planting the seed of artistic abilities with that consistently outstanding program. Tux Paint and this household, digitally speaking, go way back, and Kendrick's and his team's efforts on all the software they write make a huge impact on the lives of those who use it.
This same "huge impact" can be claimed by a wide range of FOSS programs as well — substitute $FOSS_PROGRAM for "Tux Paint" and there are a wide variety of FOSS programs that have made their mark on the computer-using world, all for the better.
Which brings us back to Ken and Skip and the summer computer labs: One kid in that room may be the one who first steps on Mars. One may be the one who develops the technology to allow the blind to see. But also, they may not be the ones accomplishing those feats, and that's OK. At the very least — at the absolute least — kids learning about and using FOSS will grow up to be average adults with a better understanding of how hardware and software work and a clearer picture of how hardware and software should be made available to the public.

Making the grade
The Guide to Computer Training listed its Top 50 Open Source blogs on Tuesday, and included in the 50 — at number 20, no less (though I realized later that the list is in alphabetical order, so I didn't really finish way ahead of Slashdot) — is yours truly and this blog.
After I picked myself up off the floor, I have to say I am beyond honored. It's good to be in the company of these folks who regularly write about FOSS, GNU/Linux and Linux, especially Bruce Byfield, whose essays masquerading as blog posts appear thanks to Linux Magazine.
However, there are several blogs which stand head and shoulders above this one that deserve to be on that list which, for whatever reason, didn't make make the cut.
So if you're here from the Guide to Computer Training site, welcome, first of all; second, you need to add these five blogs — five which come immediately to mind, though there are many more — to the list that the previous site provides (as well as other blogs which readers are urged to add to the list in comments below):
Click, by Steven Rosenberg: This blog, which appears on the Los Angeles Daily News' site, is always chock full of information as Steven traverses the Free/Open Source landscape using both GNU/Linux and BSD. Most, if not all, of his Debian/Ubuntu adventures are very informative and I've learned something from all of his blogs, even when I've disagreed with him (which, to my knowledge, has only been once).
Shallow Thoughts by Akkana Peck: Don't be misled by the title — this is far and away the most educational blog over a wide variety of FOSS programs and issues that I have ever read. And it's not the blog so much as Akkana writes about — and links to — her tutorials in the blog. All her tutorials are absolute gems, and our Christmas cards last year were produced, in large part, thanks to her GIMP tutorial. Since I live just "over the hill" from the Silicon Valley, I get the bonus of hearing her speak when she addresses local LUGs. But if you can find talks she has done, like her presentation on "Make Your Old Laptop a Ferrari" she gave at the Southern California Linux Expo earlier this year, it's time well spent.
Blog of Helios by Ken Starks: To say that working with Ken is an honor would be a gross understatement. I met Ken when I gave him $10 toward putting Tux on the nose of an Indy car during the 2007 Indianapolis 500. Ken came to California during Lindependence in 2008, where we invited the entire town of Felton, California, to a church hall to see Linux and take home a Live CD or two. Now, Ken is giving underprivileged kids in the Austin, Texas, area a leg-up in providing Linux boxes to them through the HeliOS Project. Ken's blog points out the highs and lows of bringing FOSS to the world, and his down-home humor that's reminiscent of fellow Texan Jim Hightower — oooh, he's going to hate me for saying that — is always a plus.
Dissociated Press by Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier: Zonker's claim to fame, other than a nickname he picked up in college, is that he was the OpenSUSE Community Manager for the last couple of years. But what's probably more interesting — and thankfully more important to those of us promoting FOSS — is that Joe's talent and skill as a journalist precede, and thankfully now follows, his gig at OpenSUSE. He could be writing for any publication on any topic, but thankfully he's writing about FOSS.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols' Computerworld Blog: More times than not, Steven is first out of the gate with FOSS news and developments, which alone would make his blog a must read. What's more — and I mean this as a compliment — Steven's not afraid to "go off the reservation" and write about non-FOSS issues as well. Everything on the blog is written with an artesian depth of understanding that points to his wide experience, and I get the sense that he embraces, Mencken-like, being FOSS's resident curmudgeon. But I could be wrong . . . .
There are others that deserve to make the cut as well, and I'd urge you to add them to the comment list below.
And thanks, Guide to Computer Training — I will try to live up to your standards in being one of the Top 50.

OilProp is designed to assess the core thermophysical properties of oil and its derivatives necessary to solve transportation and processing tasks, with the minimum volume of input data. It is based on regularities and statistics generally known in the area. OilProp solves the following tasks: 1. Basic Calculation - calculation of thermophysical properties at the atmosphere pressure and the temperature 20 deg.C (68 deg. F).The calculation results are used for hydraulic analysis of pipelines as well as in design of equipment intended for storage, thermostating, transportation, mixing, spraying homogenization of oil and its derivatives. Density and / or fractional composition of the substance are used as input data (the calculation is more precise if fractional composition is given). The program calculates density (if not given), isobaric specific heat, thermal conductivity, kinematic viscosity, average saturated vapor pressure, surface tension, the Prandtl number, and pseudocritical temperature. 2. Additional Calculation - calculation of thermophysical properties of a substance in liquid and gas phases at given absolute pressure and temperature within the under-critical range. The calculation results are used for process modeling and design of equipment intended for processing of oil and its derivatives, for hydraulic and aerodynamic design of pipelines at steady and non-steady temperature, as well as to find out heat exchange process characteristics, etc. Additional input data, besides temperature and pressure, are density and/or fractional composition (calculation is more precise when fractional composition is given). The program calculates the percentage of liquid and gas phases, density, isobaric heat, thermal conductivity, vaporization enthalpy, kinematic viscosity, surface tension (for the liquid phase only), and the Prandtl number.

Administrators to the Victoria Embankment establishment, favoured by stars such as Lady Gaga and Lionel Richie, told 80 staff on Monday they had lost their jobs.
It opened in August 2008 - just before the collapse of Lehman Brothers - specialising in Asian food and featured an 18-foot high Buddha figure in the dining room. However, it has struggled to stem losses in the post-Lehmans austerity era of lower bonuses and less conspicuous consumption.
One industry source said: "Essentially it opened just as the downturn started, it was the victim of bad timing. Also they thought they would get more of a City crowd than they did." Furious staff spoke of how the administrators from accountants Baker Tilly moved in on Monday and told them they had half an hour to clear belongings before the premises were handed over to a security company.
At a meeting yesterday, employees learned they would not be paid for this month and would have to claim wages as unsecured creditors. Deputy general manager Ginger Zerbetto said there was also anger over the whereabouts of the staff tips pool or "tronc". He said: "We spoke to the administrator and we told him there was £46,000 in it and he said he didn't know anything about it."
Mr Zerbetto said the restaurant had been trading well with up to 1,000 people on a Saturday night. Buddha Bar is run as a franchise with branches in Paris, New York, Las Vegas, Sharm el Sheikh and Dubai.
Its backers include London property tycoon Simon Halabi, who was reported to be declared bankrupt in the High Court last month. One waitress said: "People are very angry. Many have got to pay the rent on Friday and they don't know where they are going to get the money from. The administrators said it could take up to a year to get any money back."
She said staff typically made between £600 and £800 a fortnight topped up from the tronc. No one from the administrators or Mr Halabi's office was available for comment.

Your pregnancy: 24 weeks
See how your baby is developing.
Your baby's lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree."
Your baby is working her facial muscles; she may be raising her eyebrows.
How your baby's growing
Your baby is growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at about 1 1/3 pounds. Since he's almost a foot long (about the length of an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
See what fraternal twins look like in the womb this week.
How your life's changing
In the past few weeks, the top of your uterus has risen above your belly button and is now about the size of a soccer ball. Most women have a glucose screening test (also called a glucose challenge test or GCT) between now and 28 weeks. This test checks for gestational diabetes, a pregnancy-related high-blood-sugar condition.
Untreated diabetes increases your risk of having a difficult vaginal delivery or needing a cesarean section because it causes your baby to grow too large, especially in his upper body. It also raises your baby's odds for other complications like low blood sugar right after birth. A positive result on your GCT doesn't mean you have gestational diabetes, but it does mean that you'll need to take the glucose tolerance test (GTT) to find out for sure.
Finally, if you don't already know how to spot the signs of preterm labor, now's the time to learn. Contact your doctor or midwife immediately if you notice any of the signs mentioned below.
Learn about: Preterm labor
More than 12 percent of babies in the United States are born prematurely (before 37 weeks). About a quarter of these births are intentional, meaning that the medical team decides to induce labor early or perform a c-section because of a serious medical condition such as severe or worsening preeclampsia or because the baby has stopped growing. The rest are known as spontaneous preterm births. You may end up having a spontaneous preterm birth if prior to 37 weeks you go into labor, your water breaks, or your cervix dilates with no contractions.
While there are some known risk factors for preterm labor, such as having certain genital tract infections, placental problems, or cervical insufficiency, in many cases no one knows what causes a woman to go into labor before term. So it's important for all pregnant women to learn the signs of premature labor and what to do if it happens to you.
What are the signs of preterm labor?
Call your midwife or doctor right away if you're having any of the following symptoms before 37 weeks:
- An increase in vaginal discharge
- A change in the type of discharge – if it becomes watery, mucus-like, or bloody (even if it's pink or just tinged with blood)
- Any vaginal bleeding or spotting
- Abdominal pain, menstrual-like cramping, or more than four contractions in one hour (even if they don't hurt)
- An increase in pressure in the pelvic area (a feeling that your baby is pushing down)
- Low back pain, especially if you didn't previously have back pain
These symptoms can be confusing because some of them, such as pelvic pressure or low back pain, occur during normal pregnancies too, and early contractions may just be harmless Braxton Hicks contractions. But it's always better to be safe than sorry, so call your midwife or doctor right away if you're experiencing anything unusual.
Will my baby be okay if he's born early?
The closer your baby is to full term at birth, the more likely he is to survive and the less likely he is to have health problems. Premature babies born between 34 and 37 weeks generally do fine, although they are still at higher risk for short- and long-term problems compared to babies born full term. On the other end of the continuum are babies who are extremely premature: These days, some babies born as early as 24 weeks (or even a bit earlier) may survive thanks to advances in neonatal care, but these extremely preterm infants require significant medical interventions and long stays in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and the survivors often have serious long-term problems.
Activity: Take care of some home improvement projects
Take stock of the things you'd like to fix around the house before your little one arrives. Then recruit someone like your partner, a handy friend or relative, or a hired handyman to help take care of them. (There are some tasks you should avoid, like refinishing or moving furniture.) Some things for the to-do list:
- Install or check smoke detectors, get a fire extinguisher for each floor of your house, and plan a fire escape route.
- Fix or remove any broken furniture or fixtures.
- Paint the nursery, hang curtain rods, and assemble new furniture.

Egypt's chief forensic doctor: Mubarak is well
Sponsored Links
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's chief forensic doctor has told a state-run newspaper that Hosni Mubarak has never suffered a stroke and that he is not in critical condition, contradicting earlier medical reports that the former president's health was deteriorating.
There have been conflicting reports about the health of the 84-year old Mubarak, who was sentenced in June to life in prison for failing to stop the killing of hundreds of protesters during last year's uprising.
Mubarak was abruptly transferred to a military hospital after three weeks in prison amid reports that his heart had stopped. The state news agency said at the time that Mubarak had suffered a stroke.
Ihsan Kameel Gorgy told the Al-Ahram daily Saturday that Mubarak, who is now back in prison, needs only medication to treat blood circulation problems.

All this to say that I dont have time to write a proper post or recap of our time in Canada. I did want to pop in and enter my I Heart Faces picture from this week, it's been a few weeks since I entered and I didn't want to miss out again!
Jayci has gotten to the age where she really enjoys playing with her toys, even all by herself. She plays pretend, feeds her dolls, gives her paci to her stuffed animals, builds towers meticulously, and colors for more than one minute at a time. I'm really enjoying this phase because it is so so fun to watch her play!

BRISTOL, R.I. – On February 1, proclamations were passed by Governor Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and Mayor James Diossa of Central Falls in respect to an anti-bullying campaign launched by five Roger Williams University public relations students. The monthlong campaign will address the issue of bullying and ways to address it for both the bullies and the victims.
The campaign has worked closely with students at Mt. Hope High School of Bristol and Central Falls High School of Central Falls preparing for events scheduled throughout the month. Aside from presentations at schools throughout the state, the team organized a ribbon ceremony at Central Falls High School on February 8, and a 2K Walk Away From Bullying on February 16.
At the ribbon ceremony, students hung ribbons on the front steps of Central Falls High School with messages personally written by CFHS students to their bullies. At the 2K Walk Away, mayor James Diossa joined community members as they walked away from bullying.
For more information regarding RWU PRSSA's February campaign against bullying throughout Rhode Island visit www.facebook.com/Remembermeri or contact Theresa Agonia at (401) 663-4252.

Written by Dave Dulberg, USC blog contributor
For redshirt junior running back Curtis McNeal, "Moody" is a nickname of the past.
In 2010, academic eligibility issues forced McNeal (six career carries for 33 yards as a Trojan) to sit for the entire season, putting a proverbial spotlight on whether or not he had the maturity and the mindset to survive at USC. Coupled with questions about his passion for the game and diminutive stature (5'7", 180 pounds), the local product seemed to be standing on the outside looking in when it came to the running back competition heading into this season.
But when No. 22 hit Howard Jones Field last week for the first night of practice, something was noticeably different. His smile was wider, his pass blocks were louder and his strides appeared more graceful than ever before.
"It [being away from the game] made me take things a little more seriously," McNeal said. "I've matured during my time away from football. I really missed it, and I am ready to get back to it."
His personal growth is commendable regardless of how far a leap he makes on the depth chart, but for McNeal merely getting back on the field isn't enough. Thus far, McNeal has shown flashes of the player that once was named the 2007 All-LA City Offensive MVP at nearby Venice HS, with several long runs that illustrate a young man who's not running from his past, but instead embracing the present.
"I am getting real comfortable playing football again," said McNeal. "This is Running Back University, and you are playing with the best of the best. I am just trying to stay on top and keep competing. If I can come back and somehow am named the starter, it would be one of the greatest accomplishments of my life."
Although the running back competition is a long ways away from being settled given the noteworthy performances of freshman Amir Carlisle, redshirt freshman D.J. Morgan and sophomore Dillon Baxter, the beaming grin Kennedy Polamalu (running backs coach) flashes when talking about McNeal's road to reclamation says it all.
"He has been outstanding for us, from an effort, toughness and balance standpoint," said Polamalu on McNeal's first week at camp. "Obviously with his size, he has shown us his tremendous leverage. More than anything, though, it's his football IQ that stands out."
The now academically eligible McNeal is getting good grades on and off the field, but Polamalu said it's the bonds McNeal has suddenly formed with teammates that truly echoes how far he's come.
"When I came here, I really didn't know him because he wasn't a back I recruited," said Polamalu. "He has had a tough home life, yet he hasn't made any excuses about it. But, I think he now knows that myself as well as his teammates are here for him. This team has sort of gravitated towards him and become his family."

Behavior Change after neutering
I'm considering having my 4yrs old GSD neutered. I've been reading several pros and cons concerning the removal.
Please share your dog's behavior change after the surgery. I love the drive my dog currently have and some reports say they lose the drive.
He's an inside dog and never goes out unsupervised.
Thanks for your insight
ours never lost drive
as old as yours is now the behaviors are set
he will not become a couch potato after the surgery :)
some people and some studies say they gain weight and i believe it does change their metabolism but the way to address that is keep him active and also adjust his food if necessary
i think pet overfeeding is a real thing in america anyway because the amt of dog food listed on the bag is way more than anything but a husky that runs all day and night might need!
Mine was neutered at 3 years old - we are coming up on a year post neuter. I was also worried like you. In my experience the only thing that changed was he marked less in our yard. His behavior was still the same - which for me was a relief because I did not want a change. He's also a little less of a A hole if another dog is walking down the street - not sure if that's my training or the surgery.
Now, he is not a Sch dog - so I cannot comment on drives. If he were - I would be more worried about drives and neutering.
Because he was older it took him longer to heal. I would say day 3 post surgery was the most challenging and uncomfortable for him. But he healed nicely.
Delgado has never lost drive, with age he's learned to cap it so it may seem that he's lower drive but he'll prove you wrong in a heartbeat if you show him a ball, food, or tell him it's time to work ;) He still has boundless energy when it comes to doing things he loves

The kit will be for sale soon. There is value in the hardware itself as the major components have been tested/replaced recently. Hopefully, I'll be able to recoup some of my costs from the diagnosis & supercharger removal. Let me know if you're interested.
PM me all the parts you need. I'd also post up a full parts list of what you need in this thread. I'm sure others can/will help out. I'll run down to the shop on monday and see whats laying around. If I have it, just pay the shipping.

Similar to one-dimensional arrays, you access the data in multi- dimensional arrays in much the same way you assign data to multi- dimensional arrays.
Accessing Data in a Two-Dimensional Array
Ready to create an array of stir-fry ingredients? Okay, here we go.
The array has been created and populated.Now, let's access the data.
This program prints all the elements of a two-dimensional array by going through them with a while loop. Here's the code: while (Count<=4) { document.write("
" + StirFry[Count][0] + ", which is/are " + StirFry [Count][1] + " in color.") Count++ } Access each of the elements in the two-dimensional array by a statement like StirFry[Count][0]. Count is the element of StirFry that's relevant, while 0 or 1 is the number of the needed element in the array that fills the Count space in StirFry. You may find it helpful to think of Array[n][p] references in terms of coordinates: The first number is the "down" coordinate, while the second coordinate is the "across" coordinate.

UPDATE 1-Chevron wins U.S. ruling blocking $8.6 bln Ecuador rainforest award
(Adds details from decision, background, case citation, byline)
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK Aug 8 (Reuters) - Chevron Corp persuaded a federal appeals court on Monday to block enforcement in the United States of an $8.65 billion Ecuadorean pollution judgment that it said, and which the court agreed, was obtained through bribery and fraud.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld a lower court ruling against the American lawyer Steven Donziger, who has spent more than two decades battling Chevron to hold it responsible for pollution in the Ecuadorean rain forest.
"Even innocent clients may not benefit from the fraud of their attorney," Circuit Judge Amalya Kearse wrote for a three-judge panel in a 127-page decision.
Monday's decision is unlikely to end the legal war against San Ramon, California-based Chevron, which has been waged in several countries and was documented in "Crude," a 2009 film.
"The decision hands well-heeled corporations a template for avoiding legal accountability anywhere in the world," Deepak Gupta, a lawyer for Donziger, said in a statement. "We will be exploring all available options for further review."
R. Hewitt Pate, Chevron's general counsel, said in a statement the decision "leaves no doubt that the Ecuadorean judgment against Chevron is the illegitimate and unenforceable product of misconduct."
Donziger and representatives of residents of Ecuador's Lago Agrio region have sought to force Chevron to pay for water and soil contamination caused from 1964 to 1992 by Texaco, which Chevron acquired in 2001. Continuación...

It happens every year The team scouts spend every waking minute evaluating talent, attending games, watching film and checking their lists twice, sort of like a football Santa Claus Then, the Combines roll around, coaches, scouting directors and general managers are out in full force with stopwatches in hand The three day "underwear workout" commences and those out of the scouting loop (coaches and GMs) become enamored with agility figures and march off en mass to pro days There, they continue their little "love fest" with a player's athletic ability, but along the way, seem to forget that victories are generated by production, by consistent performance and NOT how good a kid looks running 40 yards on the track
What all of this leads up to is a totally different draft board
than the ones the scouts have prepared The general manager is the
decision maker and all others are there to offer input Coaches have
their "guy" they want the GM to take, despite claims from their
scouting department that have spent the better part of the year
finding the "warts" not shown on the player's professional resume
With that in mind, here is a look at that one player at each position
who will either make a general manager look like a genius, or have
that guy on the unemployment line a year later
DA'QUAN BOWERS, University of Clemson Tigers, #93, 6:04 2-277
While many might be surprised to find Bowers as a member of this
squad, there are very strong concerns from NFL teams about the
condition of the defensive end's right knee after he underwent surgery
to repair his meniscus Some reports claim that Bowers will eventually
need microfracture surgery and several teams doubt that he will finish
out his rookie contract, citing fears of arthritis settling into the
knee area While the injury has certainly seen his draft stock drop,
Bowers has also brought up concerns that he might be a "one-year
wonder "
After registering just four sacks combined over his first two
seasons, some began to question whether the defensive end would ever
reach his potential Bowers silenced those critics in 2010,
terrorizing opposing backfields on his way to winning the Bronko
Nagurski and Ted Hendricks Awards
Bowers rededicated himself to football after losing two people
close to him in less than a year His mentor, former Clemson great
Gaines Adams, passed away in January of 2010 after going into cardiac
arrest Bowers' father, Dennis, died after suffering a seizure in the
summer before the season
Bowers entered his junior year with a newfound devotion to the
game He cleaned up his eating habits and managed to shed 20 pounds in
the offseason, regaining the quickness and athleticism that made him a
nightmare for opposing tackles The results were spectacular, as the
defensive end led the NCAA in sacks (1 19 spg) and placed second in
tackles for loss (2 00 tpg)
There are times that Bowers struggles to shed (see 2010 battle vs
Boston College's Anthony Castonzo and Rich Lapham and vs South Carolina's Hutch Eckerson), but will try to work across the block to
the ball When he is freed up, he shows good pursuit and effort to
make plays He relies more on leverage to play off blocks, but in
2010, he showed marked improvement in using his hands to guard his
legs vs the chop block
Bowers is a good tackler at the line, but will struggle more in
space He plays with a lot of effort and can pursue He has improved
his wrap-up tackling technique and makes every effort to arm tackle
When he gets free in the backfield, he does not miss much in getting
to and taking down the ball carrier
Overall, Bowers is a good athlete, who looks to be developing
physically, but there are still lingering questions about the
long-term condition of his right knee His production is just decent
against the run, but much better against the pass He still needs to
locate the ball better when working down the line, but when he gets
into the backfield, he can zero in on his target He has improved his
ability to sniff out the play, but struggles vs the larger blockers
in running situations due to inconsistency in recognizing blocking
Compares To: ERASMUS JAMES-ex Minnesota It seems like
Bowers is in the "same boat" as James was coming out of college –
fending off serious concerns about the health of his knee He had a
banner junior campaign, but some question if that was just a "one year
wonder " He looked lethargic during pro day agility tests and while he
might have been shaking off rust from his surgery, his 40-yard dash
time (4 95) would have ranked 21st among the 24 defensive ends that
attended the NFL Scouting Combine His overall workout was called
"sluggish" by some scouts and "average" by others, thus eliminating
him from consideration to being the draft's top pick He could do a
freefall and drop out of the top ten selections, if whispers coming
from NFL teams hold true
Nick Fairley, University of Auburn Tigers, #90, 6:04 1-298
No player in this draft carries the "boom or bust" tag more than
Fairley While he had a banner junior campaign, there are serious
concerns about his dedication and work ethic There have been reports
of tardiness to meetings, lack of work ethic, especially in the
training room, penchant for getting flagged for flagrant fouls and a
concern, like Bowers, that he might be a one-year wonder
When some "experts" compare him to Warren Sapp, it borders on the
ridiculous – Sapp performed on every snap and every game throughout
his Miami Hurricanes career and carried that over to a stellar NFL
career The only similarities between the two was a "liking" for dirty
play, as Fairley was constantly being called for late hits and there
were instances when he has speared ball carriers with his helmet,
banged into their lower legs purposely and pushed off downed players
to lift himself up in 2010 That attitude in training camp could lead
to retaliation by some agitated veteran
Still, Fairley earned consensus All-American recognition and was
named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Player of the year after
placing third in the NCAA in tackles for loss (1 71 tpg) and 12th in
sacks ( 82 spg) in 2010 The junior broke Auburn's single-season
record with 11 5 sacks for minus 74 yards It was nearly impossible to
keep the defensive tackle out of the backfield, as he posted an
impressive 24 0 tackles for losses totaling 106 yards and 21
quarterback hurries
Fairley had a profound impact on the Tigers' front four Before
his arrival, the Auburn run defense ranked 54th nationally, allowing
138 92 yards per game on the ground in 2008 He played in all 13 games
in 2009 but started just two contests while his team finished a lowly
78th vs the run (156 08 ypg) He started all 14 games of the 2010
season and emerged as a dominant presence along the Tigers' front
wall, leading a unit that boasted the NCAA's ninth-ranked rushing
defense, allowing just 109 07 yards per game
Compares To: Tommie Harris-ex Chicago Harris has
unquestioned talent, but he failed to put forth a consistent effort
and his lack of work ethic finally saw him wear out his welcome in
Chicago Fairley is in the same situation – a talent that could be on
the cusp of greatness, but his flippant attitude towards training,
dirty play and lack of great strength (more natural than weight room)
have teams feeling he might be too big of a risk with an early first
round draft pick
Martez Wilson, University of Illinois Fighting Illini, #2,
6:03 7-252
It's not like Wilson will be a total bust, it's just that he lacks
great field awareness and ball recognition skills, along with the
natural instincts you look for in a middle linebacker, a position
where your starter has to be the smartest player on the field Wilson
would be much better served playing outside in a 3-4 alignment, where
he can just zero in on the ball carrier, as he does not have a great
feel for shooting gaps or taking the loop around the corner as a pass
There are also concerns about his medical record and there were
off-field issues that have raised a few "red flags" around the league
Wilson was first suspended for the 2008 season finale vs Northwestern
for violating team rules Several weeks later, he was hospitalized and
underwent surgery for stab wounds suffered coming to the defense of a
friend and former Illinois teammate outside a bar in Champaign
Wilson returned to the field for the 2009 season opener vs
Missouri, but suffered a herniated disc in his neck that required
surgery, forcing him to sit out the rest of the schedule Biting at
the "bit" to return to the gridiron, the oft-reckless performer, both
on and off the field, used those troubling times to get what he
described as his "house in order " He would go on to earn All-Big Ten
Conference first-team honors in 2010, a season that saw him post 112
tackles (47 solos) with four sacks and 11 5 stops for loss
Compares To: CARLOS POLK-ex San Diego/Dallas Like Polk,
Wilson's pass-coverage deficiencies will leave him performing as a
two-down linebacker at the next level He gives good effort on the
field, but is best served in a 3-4 alignment where he would not have
to handle making calls, as he has just an adequate mental grasp for
those duties He plays much better in the box than when giving chase,
as he does a good job of keeping his shoulders square and exploding
through the holes There are just too many holes in his game (mental
aspect, pass coverage) for a team to get excited over him as a middle
linebacker, but he could prove to be an effective strongside inside
linebacker in the 3-4, or on the weak-side playing outside
Aldon Smith, University of Missouri Tigers, #85, 6:04 2-258
Before any NFL team dares to draft Smith and try to make him an
outside linebacker, there is a word of caution – contact Buffalo and
ask them for their opinion of that mistake made when drafting Aaron Maybin The junior has good muscle development, but needs further body
tone in his lower frame He has good arm length with muscular
definition, thick bubble, adequate hamstrings and thighs
Smith added over 15 pounds to his frame during the 2010 off-season
in order to compete better at defensive end, but outside of rush-end
duties, he may not be suited to play outside linebacker, as I doubt
that he can generate enough foot speed to be effective in long
pursuit To play linebacker, he has to show better alertness to plays
in front of him He is best when getting a clear lane off the edge,
but is slow to recognize blocking schemes and will bite on fakes and
play action
When he is able to locate the ball, Smith plays with good
instincts and awareness His problems arise when he has to work
in-line, as he spends a lot of time trying to disengage and loses
sight of the play When he finds the ball, there is no hesitation in
his moves to pursue the play
Compares To: AARON MAYBIN-Buffalo Maybin appears to be an
all-time bust, failing to show the pass-rushing skills he did during
his "fluke" junior season at Penn State Smith could use his right
fibula fracture in 2010 as an excuse for his drastic drop-off as a
pass rusher, but he's strictly a tweener – lacking strength to "man
up" vs offensive tackles as a defensive end and missing the foot
speed (4 82 in the 40-yard dash), along with great lateral agility
(7 25 three-cone drill and 4 59 20-yard shuttle) to string plays out
as an outside linebacker

I am ever grateful and humbled that I can even say that Jesus Christ is my Lord, my Saviour, and my Friend! I came to know the Lord 15 years ago after experiencing P.T.S.D. following an abortion. I'd coped fairly well with depression until the abortion; then I sank deeper into it for 2 years. By God's leading and grace I ended up at a pregnancy center and heard the gospel. I was born-again, then my mother and one of my sisters followed several years later. My sons did also, yet later walked away from the Lord. The past 10 years have been challenging with my sons' drug abuse
