The sun has been shining steadily and the temps have been unbelievably warm here in southwest Montana. I spent the first week back home climbing in the Gallatin canyon, rallying up local bike trails and having pints with friends I had not seen all summer.
It wasn't too long before we began to scheme on some new route potential in the southern Beartooths. We had been eyeing this spectacular crack system that was defended by a ominous 15-foot roof and it now seemed like the time
to go piece it together. We left the Gallatin Valley in the "Blue Streak", a 1986 foggy-blue Subaru with a white stripe down its center. Off at a top speed of 65mph we meandered through many a two-lane roads finally arriving at our lengthy dirt access road. This little Suby shines best on the dirt and we quickly navigated with controlled sideway slides to our destination.
The first day we checked out the line making sure it would go, and decided it would need a few bolts to piece the cracks together.
On day two, we began our ascent armed with a double set of cams, may nuts, one 60-meter lead line, a 60-meter tag line and a bolt kit. The first pitch was a slightly dirty 5.10+ that ended in a bat guano filled slot. Pitch 2 got us in to the goods: a 5.11+ flared gaping mouth of a crack that traversed over 20 feet.
Pitch 3, a 5.12-, followed incipient cracks on thin gear for 50 feet to the base of the roof, which we named the route after – "The Traditional Bitch Slap" or TBS, due to the way we felt after pulling through it.
Pitch 4, a 5.11+, started off just above the lip of the roof, right into a tough stem corner. The climbing was sustained stemming with a powerful lay back crux.
Back on the ground, we enjoyed a tasty frothy beverage and loaded back into the Blue Streak. Pressing play on the tape deck and dropping the transmission to four low, we established the Blue Streak's theme song that weekend, and those fine cuban-rooted-rhythms blared through its one speaker as we climbed up the steep hill to once again to access the two lane roads that would lead us home through a gauntlet of ungulates.

How the postcode on your address can affect your opportunities and what it means for children like Kurt
"We may be poor but we can make it through the world," Kurt says intently.
"What's that mean, Kurt?"
"Well," he explains, "it means you die when you're supposed to die. Not like really poor people who die of hunger."
What is unusual is that Kurt is only seven. Although not that unusual; there are plenty of other bright, sassy kids on the Rowner estate in Gosport, Hampshire. Turn the camera on and you are asked by an older kid, "So are you here to do the anti-social behaviour film? That's the one they usually do round here."
In fact we are here to film what the government has called "postcode poverty" - the syndrome that may condemn kids like Kurt to a life of under-achievement, just because of where they are born. And it is not just the government - listen to Conservative leadership candidate David Davies, you'll hear a similar refrain.
Where you live affects how healthy you are, your school grades, your income - and, though I have never seen figures to prove it, probably your self-esteem.
The malign influences of growing up in the wrong neighbourhood can persist, recent work has suggested. A study published by National Statistics this autumn showed that "Social class of parents has a strong influence on children thirty years later."
And the Sutton Trust earlier this year suggested that Britain has recently been a less socially mobile country than most other Western nations they studied.
Of course there may be something circular in the notion of postcode poverty - happy shiny and successful people may well choose to live in the same areas, a kind of neighbourhood "assortative mating".
But what the figures do suggest is that your postcode is a significant determinant of your life chances. And whereas adults may sometimes be able to cut and run, for kids there is clearly no chance of doing so. Hence our decision to make a film based around a seven year old.
But stop there for a moment. People have been seriously disadvantaged in Britain because of where they live for, surely, forever. So can the goal of ending postcode poverty ever be realistic, let alone on this extraordinary and perhaps Quixotic timescale?
The government has - contrary to some headlines - slowed the rise of income inequality right down. Despite the overpayment shambles, tax credits have helped many low earners like Kurt's family. The minimum wage has helped some families too. Child poverty has been reduced, though the outlook is more uncertain than the record so far.
But being born under the wrong road sign is a different and perhaps even more intractable problem.
Bruce Katz of the Brookings Institute points out (after studying British postcode poverty) that the solutions may bring significant problems of their own. Giving individual kids more opportunity may just mean the brightest leave the neighbourhood, depriving it of their energy and talents.
While pumping money into more local schemes does not necessarily address the market issues that help cause poverty in the first place. And knocking whole neighbourhoods down could merely create a diaspora of the poor - or move violent "problem families" into unwelcoming or even hostile communities.
Still Kurt's family are not violent, are hardworking, and Kurt's dad has stopped his old drug habit. There are many people on their estate in Rowner trying their best to make the existing community work. And all this is happening in prosperous Hampshire, with the particularly attractive village of Alverstoke right next door - only a postcode away. A solution must be possible - because kids like Kurt can do more than just make it through the world.
If they do not, we will all be poorer.
Panorama's "What Future For Kurt?" is broadcast on Sunday 23 October 2005 at 22:15BST on BBC One and online at bbc.co.uk/panorama where it will also be available on demand following transmission.

I've had my surgery three weeks ago. I'm going to see my doctor tomorrow. However, I have been on real self and read and got informed about many things. Couldn't find a question like mine with pictures. I've had full tt, fat graft to buttocks, liposuction of the abdomen, flanks, sides, and back. I've researched my doctor and he had great reviews. I'm still pleased with him but I don't want to bother him by calling him all the time. I appreciate your help.
Is This Skin Necrosis? Also, my Belly Button is Red and Warm Around It. Is That Normal? (photo)
Doctor Answers 7
S This Skin Necrosis? Also, my Belly Button is Red and Warm Around It. Is That Normal?
We appreciate you posting here on REALSELF. But you paid a surgeon for your care. You have a minor issue that needs attention. DO NOT be afraid to "bother" your chosen surgeon! CALL NOW!!!
Questions after tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
If you have questions you should immediately contact your surgeon. You have a relationship and had surgery and that is the person best able to respond appropriately. Having said that, your pictures show a normal result for three weeks out.
Post operative care after an abdominoplasty
If you have questions about your healing progress then your plastic surgeon is your resource. I do not see anything on your photos that would be a cause for alarm. It looks like you have some drainage around the umbilicus as well as swelling of the lower incision. Continue to follow your plastic surgeon's recommendations for post operative care.

Too early to make a call on skin necrosis.
Occasionally in abdominoplasty can result in loss of small pieces of skin and subcutaneous fat because the blood supply issues. The photograph is not shown of evidence to make a pronouncement about absolute soft tissue loss.
Learn more: http://www.zubowicz.com/subpag,21-atlanta-abdominoplast.htm
Skin necrosis 3 weeks post-op after multiple procedures
If you are pleased with your surgeon, and he has committed to operating on you, it seems like a good relationship has been established, and therefore, you should NEVER feel badly about calling him with questions, especially if things aren't going exactly as you or he expected. From the standpoint of your healing and your pictures, there is nothing here that will substitute for an exam by your surgeon, but it appears as though you have some slight healing issues with some impending small area of skin loss and some swelling of your belly button. These could represent minor healing delays, or they could be an indicator of something requiring more aggressive management like an infection requiring antibiotics. The best advice that you can get is to keep your appointment tomorrow, and clarify with your surgeon that he would like you to call his office with questions about your healing. I think that sort of comes with the territory.
Concerns after Tummy Tuck?
Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource for accurate information, but there is no evidence, based on your photographs, of any type of tissue necrosis. The redness/warmth around the umbilicus is concerning but again best addressed by your plastic surgeon who is in the best position to rule out infection.
Best wishes; hopefully you will be very pleased with the long-term outcome of the procedure performed.

Is This Skin Necrosis?
This is not skin necrosis. It looks like you may be have a reaction to some to the sutures, and this can be addressed at your visit to your surgeon. All the best.

Oprah's private plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Santa Barbara Monday, after a collision with a bird cracked the windshield
"This is not a totally unusual thing. We see these things pretty frequently." So Santa Barbara Fire Department spokesman John Ahlman said commenting on the after Christmas incident happened to talk show queen Oprah Winfrey. Monday Dec 26th, the private jet of the star was forced to return to a Santa Barbara, California airport after colliding with a bird.
After spending Christmas in her 42-acre seaside estate in nearby Montecito, Oprah and her longtime beau, Stedman Graham, boarded her Gulfstream jet to fly to the east coast. Unfortunately, shortly after taking off, a bird struck the windscreen, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing at 12:30pm local time. Luckily the two persons are okay.


text: NEW HAMPSHIRE PARTNERS IN FLIGHT DRAFT MASTER PLAN Prepared by New Hampshire Partners in Flight Working Group John J. Kanter, Co-coordinator, NH Partners in Flight Carol R. Foss, Co-coordinator, NH Partners in Flight Dr. Arthur C. Borror Meade Cadot Richard Cook Chris Costello Diane De Luca Dr. Richard Holmes Dr. Peter Hunt John Lanier Roger Lawrence Chris Martin Dr. Jay Pittochelli Robert A. Quinn Judy Silverberg Ellen Snyder Rebecca Suomala Mariko Yamasaki October 1, 1995 Send correspondence to: John J. Kanter NH Fish & Game Department 2 Hazen Drive Concord, NH 03301 Introduction Birds comprise approximately half of New Hampshire's vertebrate diversity, and are important components of virtually every significant habitat in the state. Bird populations are highly dynamic in space and time, and are influenced by a wide range of environmental factors, an increasing number of which are anthropogenic. Ensuring that native bird species maintain resilient populations in an increasingly human-dominated landscape requires the coordination of all parties with pertinent authority and/or expertise. Problem statement Apparent declines in some songbird populations, particularly some neotropical migrants, highlight the need for understanding impacts of human activities on native bird populations. Several agencies, organizations, and institutions within the state independently have devoted considerable effort to bird research, monitoring, management, and conservation focused on particular taxonomic groups or particular geographic areas. A stable, long-term, cohesive strategy is essential for effective conservation of native birds through the coordinated actions of existing agencies, organizations, and institutions. Mission Statement New Hampshire Partners in Flight (NHPIF) is a partnership of public and private agencies, organizations, and institutions committed to conservation of native birds and their habitats. This partnership works through inventory, monitoring, research, management, and education, both within the state and in cooperation with adjacent states, regional partnerships and national coalitions, using existing and additional resources to address common goals. High Priority Species The NHPIF generated the following list of high priority species based on consideration of the following: NH state list of threatened and endangered species, Rosenberg and Wells (1995), analysis of state BBS trends, Species Prioritization Project of CBO, data from the NH Breeding Bird Atlas, and recent data submitted to NH Bird Records. This list encompasses landbirds only. Although we are currently focussing on neotropical migrants, we decided to generate a comprehensive list of species in need of special conservation effort in the state. The list is separated into migrant and resident categories with migrants including all species appearing on any reference list of neotropical migrants and a few short distance migrants. The NHPIF action plan emphasizes the migrant list. Conservation efforts may address residents at a later date. High Priority Species Migrants Osprey Bald Eagle Northern Harrier Cooper's Hawk Peregrine Falcon Upland Sandpiper Common Nighthawk Whip-poor-will Chimney Swift Least Flycatcher Purple Martin Bank Swallow Cliff Swallow Barn Swallow Sedge Wren Marsh Wren Veery Gray-cheeked (Bicknell's) Thrush Wood Thrush Brown Thrasher Golden-winged Warbler Chestnut-sided Warbler Blackburnian Warbler American Redstart Canada Warbler Scarlet Tanager Rufous-sided Towhee Field Sparrow Vesper Sparrow Grasshopper Sparrow Eastern Meadowlark Rusty Blackbird Residents Spruce Grouse Three-toed Woodpecker Former Breeders in NH Golden Eagle Loggerhead Shrike Henslow's Sparrow Species to Watch Migrants Sharp-shinned Hawk Merlin * Yellow-billed Cuckoo Northern Flicker Olive-sided Flycatcher Cerulean Warbler * Song Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Residents Long-eared Owl Gray Jay * peripheral species Notes: Yellow-billed Cuckoo shows BBS declines regionally but it is irregular in NH and we lacked NH data. Song Sparrow shows BBS declines regionally but is not listed as a neotropical migrant and we lack NH data. White-throated Sparrow shows BBS regional declines. Ecoregions The NHPIF elected to adopt the U.S. Forest Service biophysical descriptions for New Hampshire, using the subsections of that classification system as ecoregions, as follows (see Figure 1): A. Connecticut Lakes B. Mahoosuc C. White Mountains D. Sebago-Ossipee E. New Hampshire Upland F. Vermont Upland G. Northern Connecticut River H. Southern New England Coastal Plain I. New England Coastal Lowland Ranking of High Priority Species by Physiographic Region To facilitate efficiency of effort, we ranked the importance of each physiographic region to each species of concern. Ranking categories were based on best available knowledge of current and historical distributions and abundances of pertinent species. Ranking categories for high priority species by physiographic region (see Figure 2.) 0 No evidence of current or historical population Opportunity for management essentially nonexistent 1 Historically present but currently sparse or absent Restoration would involve major reintroduction effort Possible opportunities to protect suitable habitat in anticipation of natural recolonization 2 Peripheral area for current population in New Hampshire, more common elsewhere in state Limited opportunity for effective management 3 Current population sparsely scattered Management opportunities diffuse 4 Current population widespread Opportunity to reverse negative trends 5 Concentration area for current population Opportunity to protect important habitat and best opportunities to build from current population 6 Sole area of current population, protection essential to maintain species in state Only opportunity to build from current population General Habitat Associations of High Priority Species Breeding Season Forest High elevation spruce-fir - Bicknell's Thrush Mature coniferous or mixed forest - Blackburnian Warbler Moist low to mid-elevation forest - Veery Mid-to late successional forest - Cooper's Hawk Scarlet Tanager Mixed age forest with large standing hollow trees - Chimney Swift Mid-successional hardwoods - Least Flycatcher Wood Thrush American Redstart Dense hardwood or mixed understory - Canada Warbler Shrublands - Brown Thrasher Rufous-sided Towhee Blue-winged/Golden-winged warblers Field Sparrow Barren ground - Common Nighthawk Mosaic of dry woods and open areas - Whip-poor-will Early successional hardwoods - Chestnut-sided Warbler Cliffs - Peregrine Falcon Grassland Extensive open fields - Eastern Meadowlark Upland Sandpiper Extensive dry, weedy fields - Grasshopper Sparrow Edges of dry, patchy fields - Vesper Sparrow Extensive grassland/scrub complex - Northern Harrier Open lands with structures for nesting - Barn Swallow Open water/wetlands Large water bodies with large nest trees nearby - Osprey Bald Eagle Open areas near water - Purple Martin Gravel banks near water - Bank Swallow Boreal forest ponds and wetlands - Rusty Blackbird Cattail marshes - Marsh Wren Wet meadows with dense sedges and grasses - Sedge Wren Open areas with shallow water and structures - Cliff Swallow Urban Flat-roofed buildings - Common Nighthawk Chimneys - Chimney Swift Migration [This section is still under development] Habitat Categories There are four broad habitat categories associated with many of the species on New Hampshire's priority list. 1. Species Declines Explained by Land Use Changes The rarity and decline of several species are easily associated with changes in land use. There are many examples of species' responses to the changes that followed European settlement. The species on NH's priority list that fall into this category include the following: Grassland - all species Shrubland - Brown Thrasher Rufous-sided Towhees Forest - Chestnut-sided Warbler Whip-poor-will Open water - Purple Martin 2. Species Rarity explained by historic pesticide use or low historic density Species in this category were historically rare and provide classic examples of susceptibility of large predators to human perturbations. Intensive monitoring and management will likely always be required to ensure that populations of these species are represented in New Hampshire. Open Water/Wetlands- Bald Eagle Osprey Forest - Peregrine Falcon Cooper's Hawk (may also be effected by land-use changes) 3. Declining Species that have a significant portion of their distribution in New Hampshire (see Wells and Rosenberg, CBO, and BBS data) Research conducted by Holmes, et al. at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest provides some explanations for declines in American Redstarts and Least Flycatchers. More intensive research on the other species (* see separate Bicknell's Thrush discussion below) and greater geographic coverage of these species will be required to develop conservation strategies. Forest- Bicknell's Thrush * Veery Blackburnian Warbler Scarlet Tanager American Redstart Least Flycatcher Wood Thrush * Bicknell's Thrush is unique among these species because of its recent recognition as a separate species and its relatively limited distribution in the Northeast. A significant portion of its range exists in the White Mountain National Forest. These areas are largely removed from active forest management, but are subjected to intense recreational use. Potential impacts from recreational use should be evaluated as part of the development of any conservation strategy. Pollution, climate change, and other large scale environmental problems have the potential to effect the availability of Bicknell's Thrush habitat. Research on the influence of these factors should be reviewed and related to their potential impacts on Bicknell's Thrush habitat. 4. Declining species associated with unique features Urban - Chimney Swift Common Nighthawk Unique Nesting Features - Bank Swallow Cliff Swallow Barn Swallow Education can influence decisions effecting these environments. An increase in monitoring is needed to establish baseline data and target appropriate educational avenues. The association of Chimney Swifts to older growth forest stands should be evaluated. Priority Habitats and Associated Threats [This section is still under development] Priority Habitat List Grassland Shrubland Water/Wetland Riparian/Shoreland High/Low Elevation Spruce/Fir Older-aged Forest Large Forest Tracts Coastal Marsh and Shoreline The threats to these priority habitats need to be outlined as well as their variation in different geographic regions. Associated with the threats to habitat are three basic influences on the ability of New Hampshire to sustain native bird populations. 1. Fragmentation of Natural Vegetation Vogelman analyzed the density of people in New Hampshire to demonstrate habitat fragmentation. Not surprisingly, fragmentation is most widespread in the southern portion of the state where Boston continues to creep further north (Growth Projections). Physiographic regions most heavily influenced by fragmentation include E, H, I. Additional areas around population centers in other regions are also subjected to these problems. 2. Demand for Forest Products 3. The Human Factor Some factors result in direct increases in bird mortality, others have a negative or positive effect on habitat for selected species. Negative impacts Waste Disposal Domestic Pets Positive impacts Agricultural habitat management DRAFT ACTION PLAN Inventory and Monitoring Continue on-going efforts Conduct annual BBS on established routes Monitor breeding Peregrine population Osprey population Bald Eagle population Northern Harrier population Upland Sandpiper population Monitor bird populations in high elevation spruce-fir forests Monitor forest bird populations in White Mountain National Forest and Nash Stream Forest Monitor bird populations at Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge Maintain current list of NH neotropical migrant birds as a part of the Wildlife Information Network of the Granite State (WINGS) Maintain a volunteer reporting program for bird species, particularly through NH Bird Records New initiatives Conduct long-term productivity studies in forest, shrubland, and grassland habitats Implement monitoring program for wetland bird species Implement monitoring program for crepuscular species Inventory shrubland birds, focussing on utility corridors and remaining natural habitat Implement monitoring program for grassland birds, based on results of current grassland bird inventory; inventory grassland & agricultural habitat Conduct inventory for bank-nesting birds in major river corridors; design and implement monitoring program Determine status and species' use of lowland spruce-fir Implement monitoring program on state and other protected lands within each ecoregion Utilize new technologies to update old growth forest inventory; monitor breeding bird populations in selected stands & compare with mature hardwood stands Establish a pilot project to identify important migration stop over locations using banding stations Facilitate communication between data collectors (ex.

TRANSITIONGETTING the new administration up and running quickly is one of the most important tasks facing the president-elect. The Democrats have a reputation for being particularly bad at transitions, with the early administrations of presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter being remembered for their chaotic awfulness.
Unlike the Westminster system, where the transition to a functioning new government takes a few days, during which the prime minister names his cabinet and the old ministers move out, the US transition is far more complicated because the entire presidential staff leaves as well as all the departmental heads and large portions of the upper echelons of the public service, who are political appointments some 3400 jobs in all.
Even though there is much to be done, the 77-day transition period seems unspeakably long in times like these, when there is an economic crisis and wars on two fronts. It used to be four months, and was shortened by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who saw first-hand the dangers of a lengthy transition during the Great Depression.
Parallels are already being drawn between the circumstances that Roosevelt faced and those that will confront Obama.
President George Bush has made it clear that he wants the transfer to be smooth. On Thursday he gathered the White House staff on the lawn to reinforce his message that they should assist the incoming administration.
"We face economic challenges that will not pause to let a new president settle in. This will also be America's first wartime presidential transition in four decades," Bush told his staff.
He and the first lady will meet Obama and his wife, Michelle, at the White House on Monday.
In an effort to avoid the mistakes of the Clinton years, the Obama campaign has had a detailed transition program in place for some weeks.
Although John Podesta, a former chief of staff to Bill Clinton, was only announced as head of the transition effort this week, he has been working with dozens of individuals divided into working groups for several weeks.
He will now take up residence in a nondescript office building in Washington DC and begin the business of building a government.
Obama has also confirmed that the tough-minded Illinois congressman and former Clinton White House adviser, Rahm Emanuel, will be his chief of staff.
FDR was famous for the flurry of activity he undertook in his first 100 days, and there are signs that Obama wants to emulate his efforts.
But there is also a strong tradition in America of one president at a time, something Obama himself acknowledged on the campaign trail.
The question is: in these extraordinary times, should the president-elect be involved in matters of state earlier than January 20, the handover date?
There are clear political risks for Obama in being seen to be participating in decisions taken by the Bush Administration in the next six weeks, because he inevitably will be seen to have been party to them, even if he is merely an observer.
G20THE immediate question is what to do about the G20 meeting in Washington next Friday and Saturday.
Before the election, the Bush White House was adamant that the president-elect would not attend, even though, no doubt, all other 19 participants would prefer that he did.
But in recent days the Administration seems to be having second thoughts and it seems likely that some of Obama's economic advisers will attend as observers. And if he has settled on the person, perhaps the new Treasury secretary.
More likely Obama will meet informally with G20 leaders, but even this could be risky. For example, Chinese President Hu Jintao has indicated he wants a meeting with Obama on the fringes of G20 and that he wants to talk about Taiwan. Other nations will have equally delicate issues they want to raise and without the benefit of full briefings Obama could do little more than listen.
Obama's presence, even on the fringes of the meeting, would also inevitably undermine what is likely to be President Bush's last excursion onto the world stage.
ECONOMIC STIMULUS NOW OR LATER?THE other immediate political issue vexing Democratic congressional leaders, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, is whether to have a lame-duck session of Congress in November.
This might be driven by the outcomes of G20 and whether any immediate legislative measures are required.
It might also depend on whether Congress and the Administration can agree on the shape of a second stimulus package for the US economy. If not it is almost certain to be Obama's first legislative act, as he told CNN before the election last week. Before the election, congressional leaders talked of having a second stimulus package to pump between $US150 billion ($A223 billion) and $200 billion into the economy. They favoured spending it on government infrastructure projects that were well advanced in their planning but lacking funding, and in boosting unemployment benefits.
Bush might support something more modest.
"The big question is, should the Democrats risk a Bush veto in a lame-duck session or should they wait for Obama to take office in January to get a more effective recovery package," asked Jared Bernstein, a senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute and an Obama adviser.
Obama seems to share some of the same priorities as Congress he has talked about a stimulus that is channelled into infrastructure-spending and to the unemployed, but he has also promised a tax cut of $US1000 to every family earning less than $US200,000, to be paid as a rebate.
"We don't know yet what's going to happen in January," Obama said last week.
"None of this can be accomplished if we continue to see a potential meltdown in the banking system and financial system. So that's priority No. 1 making sure the plumbing works.
"I think we're going to need a second stimulus. Part of my commitment is to make sure that the stimulus includes a tax cut for 95% of working Americans. It may be the first bill I introduce."
FORECLOSURESHARD on the heels of the stimulus package will be the question of what to do about homeowners facing foreclosure.
Bush announced one package of measures this year, but the relief measure the right to have the mortgage renegotiated into a more conventional loan is available only to a very limited class of subprime mortgage-holders who have not yet become delinquent on their loans.
Obama has backed an idea pushed by Democrats during debate over the $US700 billion bail-out package to change the bankruptcy laws so that judges could intervene and reset the terms of mortgages as part of a bankruptcy plan.
The move has, not surprisingly, been strenuously resisted by the mortgage industry, which would carry the cost, and by Republicans who argue that it will add to the cost of all mortgages by pushing up rates. But with a solid majority in Congress and close to 60 in the Senate (the number needed to close debate and bring a measure up for a vote), the proposal has a much greater chance of being accepted.
THE CAR INDUSTRYIF THE car industry doesn't reach crisis point before January 20, Obama is likely to find himself dealing with very serious problems there and the possibility of major job losses.
Sales of new cars are at their lowest level for 15 years and all three American car makers General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are expected to announce at the weekend multibillion-dollar losses, raising the real prospect of bankruptcy.
So far Bush has refused the big three access to funds from the $US700 billion Wall Street rescue fund, but conditions in the industry are becoming dire.
Obama supported the move by Congress to give the car makers $US25 billion to retool so they can produce fuel-efficient cars, but the car makers want more to improve their solvency, arguing that part of their operations are in financing, and so likewise squeezed by the credit crunch.
"This is really a severe, severe recession for the US auto industry and something we cannot sustain," Michael di Giovanni, GM's chief market analyst, told The New York Times this week.
But the proposal for GM to merge with Chrysler is not popular among Democrats because of the likely massive job losses that would follow in already struggling areas such as Detroit and Indiana, so coming up with a sensible longer-term solution for the auto industry may prove very difficult and potentially expensive.
CLIMATE CHANGEOBAMA has made moving towards energy independence his No. 2 priority, but it could effectively morph into part of the stimulus plan.
He has promised to spend $US150 billion over 10 years on subsidies to help stimulate the development of wind, solar and biodiesel, to build a grid that will enable the energy to reach population centres and to create green jobs.
"We have to seize this moment, because it's not just an energy independence issue; it's also a national security issue, and it's a jobs issue. We can create 5 million new green energy jobs," he said last week.
The other area where he will be under pressure to act quickly is on committing America to full participation in the current round of international talks about a post-Kyoto framework for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Time is running short and while no one thinks it will be possible for the US to fully implement a carbon trading scheme before the end of 2009 when the UN hopes that nations will sign a new climate change treaty in Copenhagen they hope the new president can indicate America's in-principle agreement.
FOREIGN RELATIONSTHE war in Afghanistan is likely to be the top priority in the short term, with US casualties up sharply over summer. The newly minted president will need to use all his powers of persuasion with NATO nations and other allies such as Australia, if he wants to secure more troops.
Obama has said in the past that he would send at least two additional combat brigades to Afghanistan and would seek greater contributions with fewer restrictions from NATO allies.
He will also have to tread carefully with the Government of Pakistan, which was not happy with his campaign promises to take unilateral action if there was sound intelligence on the location of al-Qaeda leaders in the tribal areas along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
But the bigger risk for Obama will be the unexpected. As vice-president-elect Joe Biden warned unhelpfully during the campaign, it is likely that Obama will be tested in the first six months by one of America's enemies or its less friendly allies.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev wasted no time in needling the president-elect, delivering a fiery speech on Wednesday threatening to put short-range missiles on Russia's western border if America proceeded with its plans for a missile defence system in Eastern Europe.
HEALTH CARELAST Friday when talking to CNN, Obama listed reform of health care as his third priority after the economy and energy security. But dealing with this complex and difficult area is going to take time.
He has promised to put universal health care in place to cover the 47 million Americans who do not have any insurance by the end of his first term.
But designing a system and getting Congress to pass it even a like-minded Democratic congress will be a monumental task.
The costs of the system are also likely to loom large as the US federal budget plunges deeper into deficit.
Obama promised to pay for it by winding back on spending on the Iraq War, which is currently running at about $US10 billion a month. But he has also promised not to act hastily and to consult with the generals on the ground, which means that his 16-month timetable for withdrawal might prove to be somewhat flexible.
Obama promised to use the development of the new health-care system as a showpiece for the new politics of Washington that he talked about during the election campaign.
At one stage he suggested that the deliberations on the health plan might be broadcast on cable television network C-SPAN so they were more accessible to the public, rather than being the sole province of the Washington lobbyists who were the target of much of his scorn during the election campaign.
It will be fascinating to see what his tough-minded chief of staff, Emanuel, and his chief adviser, David Axelrod, who steered his political image through the campaign, advise about such openness in the legislative process, so often compared to sausage-making.
As the election results showed on Wednesday, America is hungry for both the advancement in race relations that Obama's success represents and a new economic and social direction.
While America is not as constrained by matters such as the size of its deficit as smaller nations such as Australia might be, nonetheless the sour economic times will be a big distraction.
Obama's best hope is to tackle the economic crisis up-front and hope that the second, third and fourth years of his presidency offer better times for bold policies. But as FDR showed, bad times can also be good for bold policies. The US got much of the safety-net regulations in its financial system, such as guarantees on deposits and companies such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, during the 1930s.
In the same way, Obama may be able to harness the concerns about jobs and the economy to change the way Americans view their responsibilities to the environment and to each other.

Pictures of homeless people flashed across a screen in the middle of a dark room.
The black-and-white photos depicted men, women and children sleeping on the street or begging on sidewalks. The video ended with a call to the audience to donate clothes, food and money to local homeless shelters.
The video's creators aren't from a big advertising agency or nonprofit organization; they are students in 11th-grade English classes at Harker Heights High School.
"There are a lot of issues out there that may not get very much attention, and this project let us highlight some of those," said Logan Tackett, one of the creators of the homelessness video.
Logan is one of 80 junior students in Advanced Placement English classes who created public service announcement videos as part of a three-week class project.
Their teacher, Danielle Fritz, said the project, which is in its first year, is the culmination of a curriculum unit on persuasion. "The students learned how to use words, sound and visuals to appeal to their audience, and to get them to take action," she said.
Fritz's students worked alone or in groups to write, shoot and edit more than 20 public service announcements for the project. They were allowed to choose their topics, which ranged from homelessness and cyber-bullying to hunger and the dangers of texting and driving.
Tackett said having a say in selecting the topic motivated him and his partner, Steven Murphey II, to put more thought into their video on the homeless. The two not only shot the video but wrote and performed their own musical score for it.
Bianca Brown and four other students created a PSA encouraging people to support fine arts classes in schools, a subject close to her heart.
"We were concerned because they cut associate band directors at middle schools, and we were all in the band program and knew them personally," said Brown. "I think we put a lot of work into (the video) because it was something we were all very passionate about.
The students aren't stopping at just turning in their projects for a grade. Fritz said her classes will choose the top three videos, then vote on which one they liked the best. Then the students will create an action plan and a project to raise awareness and address the issue featured in the winning video.
"They wanted to take it farther than just the (PSAs)," said Fritz. "They are a very self-motivated group."
The students formed an English language club last month, which will help organize other service projects throughout the year.
"We need to learn how to use our voice, because we are the ones who are going to be in charge in the future," said Brown. "We need to learn how make changes in our world now so we are prepared."

There's something so calm and soothing about infant clothes. But adult diaper lovers will be a little hot under the collar with all the diaper sex to drool over on this blog. Most gals do more than just throw on a diaper, which can be a wonderfully tantalizing thing. Check out innocent-looking chicks in diapers, sucking on soothers and playing in their adult-sized cribs and more. They love pretending to be naive little cuties as they crawl around on all fours dressed in bonnets and diapers. Some of these adorable honeys even engage in hot hardcore action with guys and gals.
Continue reading Diaper Girls
I caught a rerun of CSI the other night and the plot revolved around the murder of a man who enjoyed both dressing and acting like a baby. Just a few days before that, I had a talk with a girl who revealed that she once dated a guy who had a diaper fetish. It really seems like diaper enthusiasts are becoming more and more common and as such, an increasing number of websites are popping up on the Internet in an attempt to keep up with the demand. We have a few listed under the "Diaper" category of our website and in this blog we'll take a look at them.

Limited range of motion
Limited range of motion is a term meaning that a joint or body part cannot move through its normal range of motion.
Motion may be limited because ofa problem within the joint, swelling of tissue around the joint,stiffness of the muscles, orpain.
A sudden loss of range of motion may be due to:
- Dislocation of a joint
- Fracture of an elbow or other joint
- Septic or infected joint (hip is most common in children)
- Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (in boys 4 to 10 years old)
- Nursemaid's elbow, an injury to the elbow joint (in young children)
Loss of motion may occur if you damage to the bones within a joint. This may happen if you have:
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Broken a joint bone in the past
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
Brain, nerve, or muscle disorderscan damage the nerves, tendons and muscles, and cause loss of motion. Some include:
- Cerebral palsy
- Congenital torticollis
- Muscular dystrophy
- Stroke or brain injury
Home Care
Your doctor or nurse may suggest exercises to increase muscle strength and flexibility.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Make an appointment with your doctor or nurse if you have difficulty moving or extending a joint.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Thedoctor or nurse will examine youand ask you about your medical history and symptoms.
You may need joint x-rays and spine x-rays. Laboratory tests may be done.
Physical therapy may be recommended.

I don't see any value in guaranteeing that a handle event's handler function is called in tail position, except in the case that there aren't other handle events in there. And, I think it makes it harder to abstract to disallow this. I can't think of any examples, tho. It might be fun to see if drscheme still works with that restriction.

The Amber
Nothing says classic like a rich brown tall riding boot, so we endeavored to make the ideal version. The Amber is at once elegant and effortless. Pair with a perfectly worn pair of indigo jeans and a cropped blazer, or go 70's chic with a short dress for that legs-go-on-forever look. A full side zip enclosure makes them easy to get in and out of, but with the comfort of a PORON® cushioned insole and a flexible, almost weightless XL EXTRALIGHT® outsole, you may never want to take them off. Elastic panels ensure a flexible, non-restrictive fit around the calf. Soft Nappa leather lining.

Freshmeat Made a Mistake Publishing This
This guy has obviously no knowledge of the database software industry, the database consulting industry, or the vertical markets involved in the aforementioned (like, say, the financial or insurance industries which partially fuel the market). In addition, this person is obviously not a very experienced writer.
First of all, the article, overall, lacks any kind of focus. There's a thing writers call 'revisions'. We write our first drafts like the above article: 'stream of consciousness'. It makes sense while we're writing it, and then we walk away from it for 20 minutes, come back to it, and it makes, of course, no more sense than a Slashdot comment. We go back through, cut out the extraneous crap, tweak here and there, add some order to the content.... rinse, repeat....
Second, there are glaring issues with the subject matter. Do you want to talk about databases in any particular context? If so, it's rare that you'll find Oracle and Access in the same article. If you want to talk about MySQL and the OSS community, there's a reason it was embraced in spite of the features Postgres came to the table with. Namely, a lot of people didn't need those features, and therefore didn't want the overhead or added administrative hassle/learning curve associated with them. MySQL is very compact, has a small footprint, is very fast, and if you don't need triggers/stored procedures, is fine for just about anything. If you don't believe me, send email to Yahoo and ask them how their financial site is doing. It runs on MySQL.
If you do need enterprise features, there are many other options you miss, and many insinuations you make that make it obvious that you're highly influenced by industry rags, slashdot and other things unrelated to actual experience in the field. Have you ever heard of Sybase? Did you know that MS SQL was sold to MS? Do you know that it was sold to them by Sybase, and that it's essentially version 4 of Sybase's version 12.5 product?
Do you know how the market breaks down in terms of Oracle vs. Sybase? The long and short of it is that Oracle grew to Sybase's size by feeding on the dot com boom. They never took any significant market share from Sybase in their core sectors, because Sybase has more history in enterprise scenarios, has more history running on the Sun, IBM and HP platforms, and has never been shown to be slower than Oracle in any test that I'm aware of. In addition, Sybase ASE 12.5 is available for Linux. So is DB2 (that's an IBM product). DB2 is an insane product. I would go into their query optimizer, but I don't suppose you know what that is.
Here's the deal. Screwdrivers are tools, but you don't use a flathead to do a phillipshead's job. Just the same, You don't grab Oracle or Postgres when MySQL does the job. If you grow out of MySQL (the fewest features, but one of the smallest footprints and by far the easiest to get up and running 'today'), there are plenty of other alternatives out there to turn to without going to MS SQL (one of the least scalable and feature filled - and one of the slowest databases out there).
That's all I have to say about this. If I could nail down the intended audience or the intended direction of the article, I might say more.
A tool for securing DNS communications between a client and a DNS resolver.
A polyhedral extraction tool (PET).

Maldivian officials said the idea to hold the attention-grabbing underwater cabinet meeting came from President Mohamed Nasheed when he was asked by an activist group to support its "environmental day" action on October 24.
"The 350.org group asked if the Maldives can hold an underwater banner supporting environmental day," an official from the president's office said.
"The president thought for a while and then came up with the idea to have an underwater cabinet meeting." (via Maldives cabinet rehearses underwater meeting).
Its been done before
From the early 1950's to the late eighties, the Western world created hysteria regarding 'population explosion' in India and China. Enormous pressures were brought onto the Chinese and Indian Governments to 'control' their populations.
The West succeeded in China - and failed in India, thanks to the healthy disrespect that desi Indians had for 'phoren' ideas. This entire theory on population explosion was based on wrong ethical, economic and political bases. Above all, it was based on a fear that China and India could raise an army bigger than the entire population of the West put together. Much like the climate control campaign, the population explosion campaign was sustained over the years - and called for great 'foresight' from the West.
The Maldives trojan
Propping up Maldives as 'fifth' column was similarly done over the last more than 20 years. Based on excellent PR and media management skills, the Maldives was the Trojan horse that India was blind-sided on.
350.org is rather well armed on the PR front - with a specific agency for South Asia itself. Maldives is now tied up with a the 'Vulnerable 14' to actively create pressure on (especially) China and India.
If it was not such a delicious fraud, I could have even admired this operation.

Inspectors who visited the prison in August also found the race relations policy out of date.
They said there was no ethnic monitoring and no confidential complaints system.
Inmates felt safe
However, the jail was recognised for its good reception procedures and induction programme.
The inspectors also praised Wellingborough for being a safe prison, where 80% of inmates said they never felt unsafe and 75% said they were treated with respect by staff.
Ms Owers said: "Managers (of the prison) have two main tasks: to improve the quantity, quality and allocation of work and education and to put in place an active race relations policy."
"I am encouraged by the fact that opportunities for prisoners to engage in work or education have increased following the recruitment of three workshop instructors."
He also said that action was being taken to improve the prison's race relations policy.

''Storm from the Past'' hits actress Hanan Shawqi
Egyptian actress Hanan Shawqi is geering up for the shooting of her new TV series "Asifa Min Al Madi" (Storm from the Past), infront of actors Kamal Abu Raya, Tareq Dusuki, Shaima', as well as others.
The UAE daily, Al Bayan reported on Saturday that the young actress will start shooting the scenes in the few coming days in Cairo. In the series, Shawqi plays the role of a young woman, who fights against all people trying to ruin her marriage to her husband due to his bad past.
Earlier last month, the star confirmed news circulating about a joint project with Hollywood actress Demi Moor. Shawqi confirmed that she would be leaving for the United States upon an agreement she would conclude with a production company to star in an American movie. "The production company has nominated me and I accepted after reading the scenario," said Shawqi, adding that it's a great opportunity for every Arab artist to have.
The movie, which name was not revealed, depicts the story of two twin sisters one living in Cairo and the other in the US. The sisters face so many problems but successfully overcome all the obstacles. – Albawaba.com

Before you accuse me of unfairly pointing fingers…let me cop to one of my most painful self-reflections.
I'm a terrible slacktivist.
I regularly "join" campaigns by posting on my blog, liking on Facebook, retweeting on Twitter and more. Raising money for a good cause? I'll retweet. Want people to know about a terrible disease that is sweeping through a third world country? I'll like your status update.
Slacktivism (sometimes slactivism or slackervism) is a term formed out of the words slacker and activism. The word is usually considered a pejorative term that describes "feel-good" measures, in support of an issue or social cause, that have little or no practical effect other than to make the person doing it feel satisfaction. The acts tend to require minimal personal effort from the slacktivist. The underlying assumption being promoted by the term is that these low cost efforts substitute for more substantive actions rather than supplementing them, although this assumption has not been borne out by research. [1]
Slacktivist activities include signing Internet petitions,[2] joining a community organization without contributing to the organization's efforts, copying and pasting of Social Networkstatuses or messages or altering one's personal data or avatar on social network services. (source: Wikipedia)
I mean well, I really do. I'm so inspired by people that donate their time and money to worthy causes, and I always start by thinking that *this* will be the time I do my research, contribute and make a difference.
Then life gets in the way. And while I'd love to say I'm motivated to help every great cause around, some are more personal than others. Those get my limited resources — a small donation; a few hours of volunteer work. Everything else gets a cursory atta-boy through social media.
The most recent example is "Kony 2012," the viral campaign run by Invisible Children to end an African warlord's reign of terror. He's a terrible, terrible man. There's no argument against the desire for his capture or killing. Men, women and children are living through hell, and the campaign certainly raised awareness about his atrocities.
Why do I know so much about the campaign? Because of status updates from friends, urging everyone to watch the 30-minute documentary that Invisible Children produced. Because it made "Access Hollywood" and the covers of newspapers and magazines. But I have not watched the full video — just highlights — and I have not, and probably will not, contribute money.
It's not just because there are questions about the organization behind the video (there are), or because I'm not sure how much of a difference I can make (I'm not). There's no specific reason that I have not been driven to follow up on all of the attention that this video is getting.
I know that my likes and retweets help raise awareness and pass on the message, and there's a small victory in that. But it feels hollow — as in, how can I expect my friends and followers to take action on something if the best I can do is a 3-second action in social media?
If this feels like a brain dump, it's because it is. I'm not alone in Generation Slacktivist:
- Social Media, Slacktivism and Kony 2012 (via Forbes)
- Invisible Children Respond to 'Slacktivism' Complaints (via Yahoo!)
- Why Slacktivism is Underrated (via Mashable)
So, tell me what you think — is slacktivism an OK thing, because it helps spread the message to people that can and will act? Or is it a sign that our generation needs to get off our butts and do more than tweet?


text: |P3、 P4 polyphase pulse compression codes, which were derived from linear-frequency modulation pulse compression waveforms and brought out by Lewis B.L. in early 1980s, are a kind of common pulse compression codes. Compared to linear-frequency modulation signals, they have low range-time-sidelobes without weighting in receiver; Compared to biphase signals, they have large Doppler tolerance. Additionally, these codes have low cross-correlation、 ease of implementation, compatibility with digital implementation and compatibility with bandpass limited receivers. So these codes are valued very much all the time. But, their utilization have been limited because of their complex compression procedure compared to biphase codes. These years, with the rapid development of digital technology and integrated circuit technology especially the implementation of DDS technology and Very Large Digital Signal Processor, it is possible to create and deal with these codes.This essay did some research in P3、 P4 polyphase's properties and their realization technologies, discussed their spectrum、 ambiguity functions, Doppler tolerance and other properties thoroughly and systematically, and also researched their realization based on DDS, including performance evaluation board. In real utilization, we need more lower sidelodes to detect small targets beside large targets, because large targets' sidelobe will submerge small targets. So it is very valuable to reduce the peak sidelobes. This thesis discussed three Weighting methodsto reduce the peak sidelobes-Classic Amplitude Weighting、 Post Compression 2-SampleAverager and Iterative Least Squares Techniques. Many computer simulation results and conclusions are given out. These conclusions provide a basis for their implementation.

CostCo construction clipping along
With just 99 days until its scheduled opening, work on Rochester's new CostCo mega store is rolling along at a good pace these days.
CostCo has an opening date of Nov. 16 listed on on its website for the new Med City location.
Get enough of a vantage point, you can see that quite a bit of of work on the 150,000-square-foot store plus a satellite gas station was done this week.
Remember, this is at the corner of 19th Street Northwest and West Circle Drive.
Kwik Trip is also working on its new location by CostCo. The 108-acre West Circle Drive development is actually owned by Kwik Trip.
When I wrote about Rooster's Barn and Grill opening on the hill just across the road, some readers commented that the former Leo's Pizza Palace/Catch-22/Bob's Smokestack Ribs location does not seem to a good spot for a business.
I think it is worth pointing out that when those businesses tried to make a run in the spot, they did not overlook CostCo and the businesses that cluster around it.
I think the history of that area is about to change… in about 99 days.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
Thank you for contacting Just Answer. I am sorry that you are having difficulty with your 18 month old. Some of this could be due to her age. There are a lot of changes that happen in the first couple years of life and often when a child is on the verge of a developmental milestone (perhaps a surge in vocabulary) they tend to regress and/or have behavioral issues and/or exhibit more separation anxiety. If she has not exhibited these behaviors before now (and if there are no other major changes in your life such as new job, moving, etc), then it is likely that this phase will pass. But, I will give you some ways to help you all get through it. If you don't already do this, try and give her one-on-one time each day - a special 15 minutes a day where you play with her and let her lead the play. If you are interested I have a handout I can attach that gives specific play techniques to help you connect with your daughter as well as teach her skills such as language. Since she seems to love the word no (very normal at this age!), I would try and avoid it yourself when disciplining. Save no only for times where there is a safety issue and the other times use other types of discipline: redirection, framing the command positively (walk, instead of no running). I also have a handout about discipline techniques that I can attach if you are interested. As far as the separation anxiety - it should get better, but in the meantime, tell her where you are going and that you will be right back (don't ever sneak away - it's easier in the moment, but increases the anxiety in the long term). As far as the middle of the night, I would try and be consistent in your response. Mommy can change your diaper or you can stay in your crib. If she says no and hits you, either sit in her room while she cries or leave the room (because she is having separation anxiety it might be better to stay in the room) remind her that you are here and if she calms down you will change her diaper. I also would consider holding off on transitioning her to a bed if you can at least until she seems a bit more settled. Also, in terms of the hitting, remind her that there is no hitting and to be gentle. Show her how to be gentle by taking her hand and gently touching yourself where she hit you. It takes some time, but with consistent teaching she will learn. You are dealing with a lot right now so hang in there. If you are satisfied with my answer, I would appreciate a positive rating. And, please ask follow up questions/clarifications, I know there is a lot going on for you. And, let me know if you are interested in those handouts. Best, Kerrie
Are you still online?
If so, I would be happy to "chat" with you further about your question
I would definitely be interested in the handouts. Thank you so much!
Great. I will attach them in just a minute
Here are the handouts. I actually am attaching three. One is on discipline techniques, one is on play techniques and the final one is on temperament. Please feel free to ask any questions about them. They are handouts I have created myself - my clients tell me they are helpful so I hope you find them useful.
I am having a little trouble attaching them. Please give me another minute.
