Mamas, I need a safe place to vent. Please no flames.
I have three kids on the spectrum. XH was on the spectrum in hindsight. Didn't know it at the time. His moodiness, rigidity, and lack of proper empathy led to abusive behavior. I divorced him after 10 years after fighting desperately to save our marriage. I now have a diagnosis of Anxiety and PTSD. I did abuse recovery therapy and personal therapy but since my own children exhibit the same behaviors I am constantly "triggered" by their own ASD outbursts, especially as they reach the teen years and look and sound more like men. As one of my therapists said, "What you need to heal is time away from all those triggers, and you can't get away from it." No sh*t sherlock.
A little less than a year ago, my oldest, who was then 16, entered voluntary placement in state foster care so that he could enter a therapeutic foster home. This was based on years of violent outbursts that could not be controlled with any measure we tried at home, and we tried EVERYTHING. Inpatient treatment, day treatment, outpatient therapy, family therapy, in-home therapy, a special school, diet, and several different meds (starting at 4 yrs old) He has a complex diagnosis of Aspergers, ADHD, Mood Disorder NOS, and anxiety/depression. He is doing fairly well in foster care mainly due, I think, to having most of his home stresses removed (no other kids in the home, older couple who can focus 100% on him) and having lots of attention through specialized staff. We don't expect him to return home and are working toward independent living between 18-21. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make but I am at a place of peace about it now. I really had no other choice.
My 11 year old (the one I have a thread on here or maybe in Allergies) also has a dx of PDD-NOS, severe anxiety, and severe sensory issues. He is much like DS1 except that he doesn't lash out quite so much at others, more inwardly. Still, he does trantrum, yell, scream and throw things. He doesn't hit me (unlike DS1) but it still triggers me horribly to have that kind of emotional chaos around me all the time.
I feel like I am just going through the motions again, just like with my marriage, just like with DS1...I am doing everything I can possibly do to help him, but in the end it wont matter. He's a little stick of a guy right now but in a few years those tantrums are going to get scary and dangerous. We warned DS1 of that too but it didn't matter. That was what really made living with him impossible. By 16 he was over 6 ft and 250lbs. DH at 6'3" and 230 couldn't budge him. When he came at me that last time and threw a chair just feet from where our baby was sitting, I knew we'd reached our limit.
I haven't done as much with DS3, we've tried a few meds (which either didn't work or he had horrible reactions to), we've done some therapy (he hates it) and I have just applied all I learned with DS1 through all the "specialists" and book recs, etc. Its hard to commit myself to jumping through all the same hoops, knowing it didn't help DS1 (or at least didn't help him enough) and it cost us everything (DS1's two inpatient stays were the primary factor in us losing our house in 2010). I could go on and on about other things we've done, and yes DS3 is on a GFCF diet right now and we are home/unschooling to eliminate the school pressure that was what we thought was the biggest trigger...but here I am, in tears again this morning because I have had to listen to my child have a gigantic fit for the past 2 hours because we don't have cereal.
And I just feel hopeless right now. Like I will never, ever, ever be able to escape these violent, irrational men. Wanting to love them, but having a hard time not feeling like they are ruining my life. I have a wonderful DH who has stood by me for 6 years raising this boys and we have 2 little NT boys together but our daily life is so stressful, no matter how hard we try. There are times I wonder if it would be better to have separate homes so YDS1 and YDS2 can have some semblance of normalcy, but that is not fair to us! Our babies deserve BOTH their parents! I have so many other stresses that I need to save energy for - my allergies are out of control, I have had a bad cough for weeks and now baby has an awful gagging cough and I am worried we might have pertussis. Cereal?!? Seriously GET OVER IT!
I feel like I just need to totally disconnect from him and just not care so that I can survive my life. Drag his kicking screaming butt to school so I can get a break. Being a passionate, committed, loving and thoughtful parent are my values, but its killing me to care anymore because no matter how many time we think we've finally reached that place of understanding, we get plowed over once again with the entrenched behaviors that just wont go away no matter what we do.

oh hugs!!! i have no advice, but im sending good thoughts your way... hugs!!!!!!!!
I'm so sorry you're going through all this. A 2-hour fit about cereal? I totally get it. I have two boys on the spectrum. They're only 2 and 4 now and I know I haven't experienced nearly what you have, but I can see myself in your same shoes someday. A couple years ago, I could have never imagined any of the things you described. Heck, I probably would have thought bad parenting brings these things on. ASDs change everything though. You've been through a lot and you're stressed (not to state the obvious as the therapist did!).
I wish I knew what to say. I would imagine you already have mental health help in the family since you mentioned placements and therapy. So I'll just say that I'm sorry, and I hope you are able to find help. Even a little tiny bit of help. Somewhere. Maybe you can focus on having a better tomorrow. Then a better next week. Looking too far in the future might seem to depressing right now. But if you are able to get a smidge of help to make one day better, maybe eventually the future can be better, too.
The only practical question I have is about the meds for DS3. You said you've tried a few that didn't work or caused reactions. Is this something to pursue some more? I would imagine most people on this forum limit meds as much as possible, but you are certainly in a situation that justifies them. My 2-year-old has PDD-NOS and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (I adopted him, which I feel oddly compelled to mention everytime I mention FAS!) and he more angry and violent than I ever knew a little person could be. Meds have made all the difference. I don't know what the future will hold, but getting his meds right has taken me from a mother who was sick all last winter to a better mother who has some hope.
Hugs to you.

Earthmama4 You are not alone in this experience!
In hindsight I too realize that my ex DH has very similar (if not the same) dx as my son. I find myself saying, "I left his dad to escape this kind of abusive behavior but I am stuck with this kid". Luckily some things we (current DH and myself) have been doing seem to make DS not as out of control as ex DH was/is. DS is 12 and he is taller than me and outweighs me. I have on occasion thought about out of the home placement for DS. I have 5 children. So I totally understand how it feels unfair for them to have to be exposed to the older child's tantrums. We seem to be on a better track now and DH quit his job so that he can take DS to multiple therapies a day. It sounds like you made a good but painful choice for your 16 year old. Have you applied for Katie Beckett Medicaid for your other two spectrum kids that are still in your home? That could help with the medical expenses. Can you find a specialized school in your area that could handle DS3? It sounds like you need respite asap.
I am going to list my son's dx so that you know you aren't the only one with a super complex kid:
LD- reading and writing (dyslexic)
Adjustment disorder with mood and behavioral disturbances
Anxiety disorder
Central auditory processing disorder
Expressive / receptive language disorder
So Earthmama4 - I hear you! It is hard!

Thanks so much mamas! Sorry, I haven't been able to log on for two days since I posted...my computer was being glitchy! I so appreciate the words of support.
Regarding meds, well my running "joke" with DH is that one of us needs to be on meds, either DS or me. More true than funny. With DS we've tried the SSRI's which reduced his compulsive thoughts and phobias (he was terrified of vampires and ghosts and had violent images come to mind without warning), but it did nothing to reduce his social phobias or irritability and moodiness. We tried some acute anti-anxiety meds but it made him completely out of it, even at the lowest dose. I'd rather take the tantrums than a half-alive zombie child. And we tried ADHD meds, since we had success for a time in that leveling out DS1's behavior. We endured one dose. He was running around looking for a place to hide, like a chased wild animal, face red, heavy breathing, and nearly screaming when I tried to touch him. I was like giving a scared squirrel an expresso. Again, more true than funny. (DS1's doctor once said that mom's with ASD kids get a really weird warped sense of humor over time and I think she's right! You have to, to survive!)
As far as a special school, we had him in one and one of my worst regrets was changing that! They were all - DS1, DS2, and DS3 - in a public charter for kids with high functioning autism. Yet after 2 years DS3 still struggled with school anxiety. He missed 22 days of school in 5th grade and every single one was anxiety-related. He pleaded with me to homeschool him. I had a theory that taking the kids to the country would help them, just getting them away from the pressure of modern life. So we moved in September out of state from my family, up to where DH grew up. We were going to homestead and live a simple life. We had an opp to take over the family farm. Well long story short - it didn't work out. The property was so far gone as to be nearly unlivable. The kids were miserable and so was I! DH's job kept him gone long hours and we were so isolated out there. Great idea in theory, but in reality it bombed.
Right before the holidays we moved into a townhouse in the nearest city. We tried to get DS3 into a very small charter school but he only attended 3 days and then came down ill and refused to return the next week. We are considering returning to our other state if they can get back into the autism charter school. It wasn't perfect, it wasn't a cure-all, but it was probably the best we could ever find and a supportive community. I remember one time when I tried to get DS to school and he bolted and me and the behaviorist just took a walkie (to keep in contact with the office) and started following him like it was the most natural thing in the world. NO ONE looks at you weird in that school if you come in with your hair all disheveled and a kicking crying kid on your heels. They can send them right into the OT room to chill for a while. Thinking back to that now, we had no idea how good we had it. I have them re-entered for next years enrollment lottery, to be held on Feb 22. After that, we'll see...
Not sure I want to totally give up on unschooling tho. I have seen improvements in DS3's attitude once I let go of the idea of teaching him and just let him be. He's really enjoying some of it, yet on the other hand, he misses our old state, our extended family and even school. He had lots of friends there. He complains of loneliness a lot here. DS2 is a teenager and doesn't like to "play" and YDS is only 4 and mostly just annoys him, LOL. When we talk about his old school now, he remembers it fondly and wishes he could go back. Sometimes I think going back is good idea. DH is more skeptical. Sigh. FWIW we are struggling financially here and I have more opportunities for work in our old state, and child care is cheaper. If it turns out that I must go back to work, we'd have to go back. Maybe I should just let this simple life dream die and grab reality by the horns, I just don't know. We've learned that no matter what, things are going to be hard. Torturously hard. Its more a matter or which is less torturously hard. The subtle nuances of which form of hard is less tortuous. My gosh, I have become so cynical. Can you believe I was once an optimist? XH tried hard to get that out of me, but he wasn't quite successful, but raising these kids to adulthood just might do it!

Stephens County running back Kerry Major led the Indians to the Region 8-AAA title this year and hopes to propel the team past Peach County this Friday night in a Class AAA quarterfinal game.
File TOCCOA - Kerry Major likes proving people wrong.
It's why the Stephens County running back enjoyed winning the Region 8-AAA title this year. It's why he really enjoyed beating Cartersville in the second round of the playoffs. And it's why he'd thoroughly enjoy winning at Peach County in Friday's Class AAA quarterfinal.
''There were a lot of folks that doubted us from the beginning,'' Major said. ''We weren't supposed to be region champs, but we (are). Then we beat Cartersville, so everybody's ready to play and see if we can get this win and get to the Dome.''
The No. 8 Indians (10-2) will be the underdogs once more in the 8 p.m. game against No. 2 Peach County (11-1), which has won 10 straight behind the passing of A.J. Bryant, who has committed to Georgia, and ousted 2002 Class AAA state champ Screven County in the second round.
Major recognizes Bryant's talent, but since Major also doubles as a defensive back, he plans to make a statement against the Trojans' leader.
''They got talent and they got speed, and their quarterback's got a pretty good arm on him,'' Major said.
''Nobody's really come to hit him good, come hard at him, and that's what we're going to do.''
Major has developed into one of Northeast Georgia's premier double-threat offensive players. He's carried for 698 yards and nine touchdowns out of the Wing-T, but he's also caught 18 passes for 466 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Georgia commitment powers Peach County
Most of those, coach Charles Winslette said, are a direct result of defenses creeping up to play the run. When defensive backs start drawing closer to the line of scrimmage, the Indians can fake a run, draw a cornerback to the line of scrimmage and free Major down the sideline.
The passing offense worked well in the first round against Lovett, when the Indians threw the ball frequently in a 37-0 rout. And establishing the pass as a threat can only help Major's ability to break runs, quarterback Will Cox said.
''We were able to pass it a lot against Lovett,'' Cox said. ''I guess Cartersville was focusing on that, and we were able to run it against them. The line's been blocking good and we've been able to move the ball and pick up first downs. It seems like everything's been clicking.''
It was Major who was clicking against Cartersville. He scored on runs of 34 and 38 yards within the first 8:27 of the game to give Stephens County a 12-0 lead. He also intercepted a pass and returned it 31 yards to the 11 to set up a field goal for a 15-0 second-quarter lead.
In fact, it was Major's defensive ability that Peach County coach Rance Gillespie mentioned first when asked about the Indians' star. Gillespie said Major reminds him of Roger King, Peach County's multi-talented player.
''He's a great defensive back, too,'' Gillespie said. He's a kid that does a lot of things for them just like the King kid does for us. They're very similar, except Major is 6-foot, 190 (pounds). He's an outstanding player and certainly one that we'll have to do a good job on.''
If the Indians want to make their first appearance in the Georgia Dome, they'll have to slow Peach County quarterback A.J. Bryant and 1,600-yard rusher Tony Wright. Patience and discipline will be key against Bryant, Major said.
''He likes to scramble,'' Major said, ''and he'll stay scrambling, so we've got to stay with the receivers the whole time until he passes the line of scrimmage.''
The Indians will also have to contend with a defense led by the speedy King and anchored by nose guard Jeremy Crockett, who is 6-foot-4 and weighs at least 350 pounds.
His exact weight isn't known to the Peach County coaching staff because, Gillespie said, ''our scales only go up to 350.''
That's a formidable obstacle, but Major said the Indians are ready.
''Everybody knows that if we win this game we go to the Dome,'' he said. ''They know they've got to get everything done so we can get this win and go to the Dome. It's my senior year and we've never made it past the second round until now, so making it to the Dome would be great.''

Simulation of Aerosol and Water Vapor Transport with the GFDL Mars General Circulation Model.
R.J. Wilson (GFDL/NOAA), M.I. Richardson (UCLA), R.T. Clancy (SSI, Boulder), A.V. Rodin (IKI, Moscow)
Observations of the martian atmosphere reveal a strong annual modulation of atmospheric temperature that is evidently due to the pronounced seasonal asymmetry in solar radiation and the highly variable distribution of aerosol. The implied variations in thermal forcing are closely coupled to the character and vigor of the atmospheric general circulation through the raising and transport dust. The GFDL Mars GCM has been developed to investigate the interaction between thermal forcing and the atmospheric circulation, most notably the Hadley circulation and the thermal tides (Wilson and Hamilton, 1996). Using a prescribed aerosol source in the bottom atmospheric layer, the model self-consistently calculates aerosol transport and radiative heating. For example, with a sufficiently rapid injection of aerosol into the atmosphere, a realistic simulation of the 1977b global dust storm and associated winter polar warming may be obtained (Wilson, 1997). Sources and sinks of water vapor and condensate and their transport have also been incorporated in the GCM in order to explore arguments (Clancy et al. 1996) that the water vapor distribution may play a role in establishing and maintaining a relatively clear and cold atmosphere during the Northern hemisphere summer season. Simulations indicate that inclusion of possible radiative and sedimentation effects of water-ice-coated dust can have a significant interactive effect on the aerosol and temperature distribution in the martian tropical region. We will present results for a variety of dust source scenarios which illustrate the role of aerosol in the martian climate.

Why do we sleep anyway? That's 9 hours I could be playing video games, practicing my free-throw, or even studying—what a waste!
No way is sleep a waste! Sleep is an important a part of your health and energy—it ranks right up there with diet and exercise. Sleep gives you the energy to play video games and basketball, and to study. Even if you could study for 9 hours straight without getting tired, you'll remember what you studied more if you sleep after studying. While you sleep, your body stores memories. And not sleeping enough can make you clumsy—that's no good while you're on the court. While you sleep, your brain releases the hormones that control your growth. If you don't sleep enough, you may be tired, cranky, klutzy, and forgetful.
While scientists are a little baffled about why all this recharging can happen only when we sleep, they all agree that we do need to sleep.

The young entrepreneurs of 515 Inc. learned the ins and outs of the restaurant business from top-tier chefs in swanky eateries from Long Island to San Juan Islands. Paul Myers, his wife Carrie Blabac-Myers, and their business partner, Brae Bullard, are now ready to step out on their own here in Missoula.
That first step will be into a big pair of shoes; their new restaurant, 515, is set to replace Hip Strip mainstay The Bridge restaurant later this fall.
"The Bridge is closing at the end of the month, and we'll get into the space [and start renovating] Sept. 1," says Paul, who cooked for Shirley Juhl and Dave McEwen when they reopened their The Lily restaurant as The Bridge in 1994.
Juhl and McEwen have piloted The Bridge—in its various incarnations—through three decades in downtown Missoula, so they know as well as anyone what it takes to run a successful restaurant in the Garden City. Having worked with and known Myers for years, they expect their successors to do well.
"Paul is one of the best cooks in town," McEwen says. "The food will undoubtedly be outrageously good."
Juhl and McEwen will continue to run the Bridge pizza and takeout restaurant on the corner of Higgins Avenue and South Fourth Street, but will lease the Butterfly Building (where The Bridge and the Crystal Theatre are located) to 515 Inc.
Bullard says they plan to fully renovate the upstairs and downstairs dining rooms and create a fresh dining experience in the former Bridge space.
"It will be a brand-new business with a new look and a new menu," she says.
Patrons will be able to explore smaller plates and appetizers in the downstairs dining room, while entrées and fine wines by the bottle will be served upstairs. The Crystal Theatre will remain a venue for small performances and film screenings.
Juhl and McEwen say they're looking forward to scaling back on their workload, and eating at 515 when it opens this fall.
"It will make us feel good to see it change into something new and exciting for Missoula," Juhl says.

Review by Mark Dujsik
It is both two separate features and an experience unto itself, and if the movies within Grindhouse don't complement each other too well in terms of quality, that overall experience almost makes up for it. Recreating the no-holds-barred, cheaply constructed, no-budget thrills of a 1960s and '70s exploitation double feature, Grindhouse sandwiches together two movies from indie mavericks Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino with some crazy, fake trailers in the center, old school titling to start each feature, and editing tricks to give the whole affair a well-worn feel. It shouldn't come across as a competition, but there is a clear winner at the end of Grindhouse's three hour and ten minute running time. As accomplished a filmmaker as Tarantino is, he's left in the dust by Rodriguez, who has much more experience with this kind of material (his filmography almost reads like a series of potential exploitation double features). His entry, Planet Terror, is the sort of shoddily plotted excuse for madcap violence, gore, and carnage that should be expected, while Tarantino strangely tries for the high road, making the focus of his Death Proof its laborious dialogue scenes, which are at least fortunately topped with a nerve-wracking car chase.
Planet Terror gets to a right start, as a stripper named Cherry played by Rose McGowan does a little tease as the credits roll, only to have tears streaming down her face at the end. She quits, and two miles away at a military base, Abby (Naveen Andrews) and Lt. Muldoon (Bruce Willis) face off because of some kind of gas, which is released into the air, spreading a disease that turns people into boil-infested zombies. Cherry is reunited with her ex-lover Wray (Freddy Rodríguez) just in time for the two and a whole assortment of other characters, including anesthesiologist Dr. Dakota Black (Marley Shelton) and BBQ expert J.T. (Jeff Fahey), to fight the creatures and escape Texas with their lives. Death Proof similarly starts off in Texas—Austin, to be specific—where radio DJ Jungle Julia (Sydney Poitier) is on a girls' night out with her old friend Arlene (Vanessa Ferlito) and others. They meet the wrong end of Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), a former stunt driver who now uses his "death proof" car to kill young women he has been stalking. Later on, friends Abernathy (Rosario Dawson), Kim (Tracie Thomas), Zoe (Zoe Bell, playing herself), and Lee (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) are in Tennessee and have a similar encounter.
Rodriguez is a pro at this genre, and his film is so over-the-top, it teeters on satire. It's extreme, grotesque, and just a blast, really. You can see where he's going when one of the earlier images is of a jar of testicles, forcibly removed from Abby's victims and eventually sent rolling around on the ground. A subplot with Dr. Dakota and her husband (Josh Brolin) gives the movie its misogynist undertones (and hints at a lesbian love affair between Dakota and a woman in a halter who's good with cars played by Stacy Ferguson), and Cherry turns into the women's lib hero, complete with an automatic rifle/rocket launcher attached to the stump of her leg, which has been removed by the infected. Other undertones of chemical warfare and military involvement overseas come into play, but it's just backstory for the action. The backstory is so unnecessary in Rodriguez' mind that there's a hilarious gag involving a missing reel that happens at the climax of an appropriately hokey sex scene and bypasses key plot points. Suddenly, the survivors are together, the suspected Wray has become a leader, and a random gangster with an Uzi—unseen until now—appears in the background.
Rodriguez also puts in a lot of wear and tear on the film stock, and scratches and near-burns are prevalent (probably keeping the MPAA off his back by distorting some of the nastier images). Lots of cheesy, fake blood flies, boils fester, and body parts are severed, and Tarantino makes a cameo appearance as one of Muldoon's henchmen. Did I mention there are plenty of explosions, too? And there's a kid who doesn't heed his mother's advice about how not to use a gun, and a dog is plowed over by a truck. There's the appropriately credited "Crazy Babysitter Twins" (Electra Amelia and Electra Isabel Avellas), and a helicopter comes into play against the zombie infected that demands the necessity for the wipers. It's excess at its finest—a fun, promising start to the double feature, which has an intermission of sorts with a trio of fake trailers. We've already had one called "Machete," directed by Rodriguez and featuring Danny Trejo as the titular badass and Cheech Marin as his priest brother. The others are "Werewolf Women of the S.S.," directed by Rob Zombie (with a great cameo by Nicolas Cage), the hilarious "Don't," directed by Edgar Wright, and the generic horror spoof "Thanksgiving," directed by Eli Roth, who still doesn't have a clue.
Roth appears and sadly does not die (in spite of his T-shirt, which says "dead" on it) in Tarantino's offering. Perhaps in part it's because Death Proof has the curse of second billing, but Tarantino isn't as in on the joke as Rodriguez. His movie isn't so much a joke, though, and Tarantino's outing is far more subdued. If there is a joke, it's the casting of Zoe Bell, a professional stunt double, as herself, and the way the story forces her into an insane piece of stunt work during the movie's climax. In fact, the entire movie is buildup to that stunt, and if Planet Terror showed Rodriguez' excess with blood and gore, Death Proof displays Tarantino's excess with dialogue. What's usually the writer/director's strongpoint is here his undoing, as his characters talk about Hollywood affairs, fetishes, and the finer points of making out, but what it means to what starts off as a clever spin on a slasher movie (the killer uses his car) is unclear. Instead, the dialogue scenes are hollow and overly long, bringing the momentum to a near stop. Tarantino uses the missing reel gag as well, cutting out a lap dance (which I doubt would have lasted a full reel), but it could have been better served trimming the dialogue.
Death Proof and hence Grindhouse as a whole end on a high note with the final car chase and Bell's death-defying antics, but the dragging, plodding pace and creative misfire of Tarantino's movie is enough to put a big damper on the sum total of the Rodriguez/Tarantino double feature experiment.

Kentucky horsemen are losing patience with a new policy that requires regulatory veterinarians to administer furosemide (Salix, also commonly called Lasix) on race day after mistakes have led to horses being scratched on consecutive race days at Churchill Downs in November.
On Nov. 11 stewards scratched Booby Prize from the 10th race at Churchill after the 3-year-old gelding mistakenly was given two pre-race Salix shots instead of one. On Nov. 14, the same problem occurred with 4-year-old gelding Outofsiteoutofmind, again necessitating a scratch. Booby Prize is trained by Michael Laurer for Penny Laurer. Outofsiteoutofmind is trained by Phil Simms for Nelson McMakin.
Horsemen initially saw the rule change as an acceptable compromise but with Salix opponents continuing to pursue a race-day ban of the diuretic in graded and listed stakes in Kentucky, horsemen withdrew their support. They voiced that opposition to the Kentucky Legislature's Interim Joint Committee on Licensing and Occupations, which voted 19-1 last year against the reformed Salix administration policy. But Gov. Steve Beshear issued an executive order to override the panel's vote.
Maline noted that with horses being scratched because of mistakes by KHRC veterinarians, people are losing money. He said when a scratch occurs, a smaller field results in less handle for the track; and owners count on running on a given day.
"At the end of the day, the guy who is really out is the poor owner. You have a limited amount of opportunities to run in the fall," Maline said. "You're trying to get that last race in at Churchill, and you pay to ship in, and then you don't get to run."

Vodafone launches mass-market 3G mobile
Page Tools
After a four-year wait, billions of pounds spent on licences and numerous delays, Vodafone has finally rolled out mass-market third-generation (3G) mobile telephone services.
Vodafone live! with 3G, launched on Wednesday, will be available in 12 European countries and Japan. The range of 10 new 3G handsets will offer services including video calling, full track music download, 3D games and mobile television.
The phones will have faster download speeds and improved sound and image quality, with a two mega pixel camera and stereo speakers.
Handsets will be supplied by Sharp, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, NEC, Nokia and Samsung.
Vodafone said it was targeting over 10 million 3G customers by March 2006 across the group.
The introduction marks the full global launch of 3G services for Vodafone, whose previous limited 3G offerings have seen it lag behind some competitors.
Hutchison 3G was the first company to launch the new services in Europe in March 2003 but has had a chequered start.
In July, French operator Orange launched 3G data card services for laptop computers in Britain and plans to introduce the new handsets later this year, while British rival mmO2 hopes to launch 3G in the first quarter of 2005.
In Japan, where Vodafone is the third-largest mobile operator, the British group has been losing customers as it struggles to catch up with competitors NTT DoCoMo and KDDI Corp. in bringing in 3G services.
Vodafone spent billions of dollars on acquiring 3G licences across Europe and in Japan in 2000, but as it pushed the launch date of high-speed services further and further into the future, investors started to question whether it would ever recoup its massive investment.
At the height of the dotcom boom, the group spent roughly £17 million (€24 million) on acquiring 3G spectrum across Europe, and chief executive Arun Sarin told reporters that Vodafone had spent some seven billion pounds in Britain alone.
"We're confident that it's been a good investment," he said.
In an earlier statement Sarin described the launch as "the start of a new era in mobile communications".
The roll-out follows the successful launch of the Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G datacard and initial 3G consumer services across eight European markets.
Vodafone had announced in September that the new handsets would be available in shops in Europe and Japan in time for the crucial Christmas period.
The 3G services will be available in Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Britain.
In France, the Vodafone 3G services are being offered through SFR, in which Vodafone owns 43.9 percent, in partnership with main shareholder Vivendi Universal.
Vodafone's basic 3G package offers 500 voice minutes, 100 text messages and 50 video calling minutes, as well as unlimited film, news and sport video clips, for £40.00 (€58) per month. For £60 per month, subscribers can add on a further 500 minutes.
Songs cost £1.50 to download, almost twice the 79 British pence that Apple Computer's leading iTunes services charges.
In addition to the premium that Vodafone is charging, the initial uptake of the music service could be hobbled by the group's relatively small library. Vodafone will have just 3000 songs (from MTV, Warner Music and Sony BMG) on offer, compared to 700,000 for iTunes.

Posted on » 22 November 2012
WASHINGTON: US manufacturing grew in November at its quickest pace in five months, with a rise in domestic demand suggesting factories could provide a boost to economic growth in the fourth quarter.
Other data yesterday showed a drop in new claims for jobless benefits, although they remained elevated due to Superstorm Sandy, and only a marginal improvement in consumer sentiment.
Financial information firm Markit said its US "flash", or preliminary, manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index rose to 52.4 from a three-year low of 51 in October. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
Output in the factory sector and domestic new orders also grew at their fastest pace since June, while the pace of hiring in the factory sector was the swiftest in four months.
Some respondents said efforts to rebuild after Sandy may have accounted for some of the increased demand.
The data gives a positive signal for economic growth in the last three months of the year, although Sandy continues to make it more difficult to read the underlying health of the economy.
"Stripping out the short-term boost from Sandy, however, and output is probably flat," said Paul Dales, an economist with Capital Economics in London. "That's unlikely to change much when the global economy is set to remain weak," he said.
Separately, the Labour Department said initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 41,000 to a seasonally adjusted 410,000.
Despite the drop, the level of claims remained elevated due to Sandy, a sign of the substantial disruption to the labour market from the storm.

Guild proposes mediator for talks; NY Times management accepts
A day after Times negotiators walked out of talks and told the Guild they would come to the next bargaining session with their "final offer" on print and digital contracts, management agreed on Wednesday to a Guild suggestion to bring a well-known mediator into the bargaining process.
At a meeting earlier this afternoon, the Guild negotiating committee endorsed the idea, suggested by New York Newspaper Guild President Bill O'Meara, to propose to the company that arbitrator/mediator Martin Scheinman be brought in. Later in the day that proposal was accepted by The Times. Company negotiators also said that, in light of this agreement, they would hold off on making a final contract offer, which they had planned to present on Thursday morning.
The role of a mediator is different from that of an arbitrator. A mediator cannot force a settlement, but instead uses persuasion to try to bring the parties to agreement. A mediator generally does not come up with his own proposals, but rather tries to push the parties closer to their respective positions. Neither side is bound by the mediator's suggestions or proposals. And in the end, any tentative agreement that emerges from mediation will need the approval of the Guild bargaining committee and the ratification of a majority of Times Guild members before it becomes a contract.
As of late this afternoon, the Guild and The Times were coordinating schedules to begin the mediation process based on Scheinman's availability. Scheinman has been involved in recent mediations and arbitrations involving The Times, and his abilities are respected by both the Guild and the company. It is the belief of both sides that his involvement heightens the potential of reaching a fair and mutually acceptable agreement.

Most celebrities would agree that tabloid authors are out to make money, not report the truth. While some publications try to only present the facts, there are those who just want a good story and who manipulate words and rumors to make the story and tabloid sales better.
George Clooney recently called out the Daily Mail after they published an article about Clooney's fiancé and future mother-in-law. The article claimed to be accurate, but Clooney claims that every word was a lie.
"I would sit with my friends and we'd just go, 'So they just sat at a computer and just went, 'OK, this is what I'm gonna say today.''… You just laugh, and let it go. I'm used to it after all these years. But the thing that bothers me is how much the Daily Mail is now bleeding into American press and becoming a source for some pretty legitimate newspapers," Clooney said.
After Clooney's complaint, the Daily Mail removed the article from their website and posted a rebuttal saying,
"We accept Mr. Clooney's assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize to him, Miss Amal Alamuddin and her mother, Baria, for any distress caused."
Clooney however refused to accept the tabloid's apology and claimed that the author of the article knew it was untrue when it was written. He went on to say,
"Every day they write things that aren't true, but every once in a while they write something that is actually dangerous to your family," Clooney said. "And that's the one you pick."
Clooney said that he has been the victim of tabloid lies before but none as damaging or as frustrating as the one created by the Daily Mail. He plans to speak out more often against tabloids and false reports.
What do you think of Clooney's feelings about the article?

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Thursday July 25.
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), TripAdvisor (NASDAQ:TRIP), Priceline (NASDAQ:PCLN), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), Celgene (NASDAQ:CELG), Gilead (NASDAQ:GILD), Regeneron (NASDAQ:REGN), D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI), PulteGroup (NYSE:PHM), Restoration Hardware (NYSE:RH), Boeing (NYSE:BA), United Technologies (NYSE:UTX), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), US Airways (LCC), Under Armour (NYSE:UA), Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), Dunkin' Brands (NASDAQ:DNKN), Pan American Silver (NASDAQ:PAAS), O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:ORLY), AutoZone (NYSE:AZO)
The news of the day was Facebook's (FB) brilliant quarter, which has made it the new king of mobile, social and cloud. FB is the largest holding in Cramer's charitable trust, and he recommends owning the stock. Other internet stocks like TripAdvisor (TRIP), Priceline (PCLN), Netflix (NFLX) and Groupon (GRPN) rallied thanks to FB. Cramer would buy Google (GOOG) on its current decline, since it isn't as bad a stock as the street thinks it is. Salesforce.com (CRM) has been creeping back up, and Cramer would keep an eye on the stock. Biotechs have been resting after having seen tremendous gains so far in 2013. Celgene (CELG) is still cheap, even though it rallied $4, because it has pipeline full of great drugs. Gilead (GILD), however, has the best pipeline in the biotech sector. Regeneron (REGN) has some upside.
Housing has been hurting lately on higher mortgage rates. D.R. Horton (DHI) and PulteGroup (PHM) management said orders were disappointing. Cramer would buy Restoration Hardware (RH) rather than homebuilders right now.
Aerospace and industrials are also taking a breather, but should have upside later on. Boeing (BA) and United Technologies (UTX) are buys, and airlines like US Airways (LCC) and Delta (DAL) are performing well. Banks are pulling back too, but people should keep in mind that JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) does well in a higher interest rate environment. Under Armour (UA) reported a strong quarter, along with Starbucks (SBUX), which Cramer would buy even after its gains. Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) has declined, and Cramer likes that stock too.
Cramer took some calls:
Pan American Silver (PAAS) is not a buy. Cramer doesn't like silver.
O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY) has been consistent. Cramer prefers AutoZone (AZO).
CEO Interview: Tarek Sherif, Medidata Solutions (NASDAQ:MDSO)
Medidata Solutions (MDSO) is the Salesforce.com of biotechs. It manages clinical trials through cloud-based technology. New FDA regulations have forced drug companies to find more innovative and efficient ways to conduct trials, and MDSO's clients are the leaders in the industry. "We are re-defining the industry," said Tarek Sherif. Around 80-90% of MDSO's clients are repeat customers, so there is significant visibility for the company. "This is a privileged moment for our company," said Sherif. Cramer commented, "You are the only guy who knows what the FDA wants." The stock may look expensive, but Cramer is bullish.
Food For Thought: Ruby Tuesday (NYSE:RT), The Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ:CAKE), McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG), Panera Bread (NASDAQ:PNRA), Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ), Mondelez (NASDAQ:MDLZ), Pepsico (NYSE:PEP)
The results from restaurant stocks have been mixed. Cramer took a look at the top players in the space after their recent earnings.
Ruby Tuesday's (RT) and The Cheesecake Factory's (CAKE) results were disappointing, but Cramer would not take that as an indication of industry-wide slowness. McDonald's (MCD) reported lackluster same store sales domestically. Cramer thinks that this might be caused by the consumer's switch to healthier eating options, as shown by Chipotle Mexican Grill's (CMG) stellar results. With a 20% growth rate, Cramer thinks CMG is worth owning. Panera (PNRA), another healthy food company, reported a disappointing quarter, with earnings at 3 cents below estimates and same store sales lower than expected. Traffic was down, but customers were spending more per order. Cramer thinks the company can resolve the issue of how to improve efficiency in getting customers in and out of the restaurant more quickly.
Domino's Pizza (DPZ) reported higher than expected same store sales, but management said the industry had headwinds. Since DPZ is best-of-breed and has been taking market share, Cramer would buy it on a decline.
Dunkin' Brands reported lower revenues, and the stock declined slightly. Cramer thinks the stock is cheap. He would buy SBUX, even though it has rallied. Mondelez (MDLZ) is a company that should be taken over. Cramer prefers Pepsico (PEP) whose Frito Lay division should give MDLZ a run for its money in Europe.
CEO Interview: Nick Akins, American Electric Power (NYSE:AEP)
American Electric Power (AEP) is the biggest power transmission company in the U.S. The company missed earnings by one penny and reported flat revenues, but it reaffirmed its full year guidance. The stock declined slightly. Industrials and primary metals have been a challenge for the company. AEP is divided pretty evenly between commercial, residential and industrial sectors, but the latter segment has been a laggard. Concerning coal (the company uses both natural gas and coal), CEO Nick Akins is hopeful that the EPA will put out a "rational set of proposed rules," this time instead of making drastic regulations concerning cutting coal use. Cramer thinks AEP will pick up when its industrial segment sees an upside. Until then, it pays a generous yield.

What happens when you take a London cab driver and put him behind the wheel of a powerful stats engine? In the case of Paul Farrell, you get someone who beats the experts and wins the Bloomberg Fantasy Challenge.
Playing in his first fantasy baseball league, Farrell used Bloomberg's fantasy baseball tools to manage his team to a comfortable 13-point victory over Houston mom Martha Mitchell in the league that pitted six fantasy baseball experts against six randomly selected fans.
"About three years ago an American tourist left a baseball magazine in my cab and I started looking at the numbers and became interested, and then I started watching on TV on ESPN and I was hooked," Farrell said.
The experts staged quite a battle of their own for third place -- with BaseballHQ.com founder Ron Shandler finishing just ahead of me (73.5 to 71), with MLB Network analyst and former major leaguer Harold Reynolds coming in fifth (70.5).
Farrell, 43, who played under the name "Winnings Pitched," prided himself on listening to podcasts while driving his cab in London traffic. He dominated the pitching categories -- finishing in the top three in every stat -- behind the likes of Josh Johnson, CC Sabathia, David Price, Jered Weaver and Colby Lewis. His offense, led by Troy Tulowitzki, Evan Longoria and Shin-Soo Choo, finished second in both homers and RBI.
The self-proclaimed stat geek kept his foot on the accelerator all season long and was never seriously threatened in the race for the inaugural league title.
"I did my homework, made some educated guesses and away we went," he said. "I even put a wager on the Texas Rangers at 35-1 at the start of the year, so baseball has been very, very good to me."
Steve's been with USA TODAY in one form or another since 1993. He started at USATODAY.com in 1996, becoming the website's baseball editor in 1999, and has written the fantasy baseball column for Sports Weekly since 2006. Follow him on Twitter: @sgardnerUSAT.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/7/2009 (2923 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The pretensions and eccentricities of small-town entertainers have been brilliantly spoofed in movies like Waiting for Guffman and series like SCTV. This local effort to parody a cable-access TV show in a town with 132 residents feels extremely tired and strained by comparison.
Vanessa Macrae and Justin Deeley are experienced fringe performers with high energy and obvious talent. But there's nothing remotely original about Macrae's way-too-perky Dottie Spicer and her toupee-wearing, smarmy cousin and co-host, Rusty.
Great effort has gone into pre-taping a mock documentary and technically impressive faux clips from the cornball morning show, but they're shown on TV screens that are too small to be effective.
If you're a fan of the now-cancelled Air Farce and its sledgehammer style of parody, you might find something uproarious in a cooking segment featuring ice cream that's put in the oven, or in the duo's clueless movie reviews of ancient releases like Gandhi.
Otherwise, change channels quickly.
— Alison Mayes

You see them every morning on your local WXLP station. You've loved them separately, or maybe at the same time; Millersville is a small place.

WESTMINSTER An international school teacher described by the FBI as one of the most prolific pedophiles it has ever investigated served a brief jail sentence nearly 45 years ago for molesting children in Orange County, court records show.
But officials here released William Vahey after concluding that he was a "reliable and responsible young man" who needed help but didn't pose an immediate threat to the community, the records show.
Vahey is suspected of molesting more than 100 young boys around the globe in the four decades since that Orange County arrest, FBI Special Agent Shauna A. Dunlap said. Vahey killed himself in March as investigators closed in, following the chance discovery of a computer memory drive filled with images of children.
"The sheer numbers alone make it a horrific case not only because of the abuse to children but because of his position of trust," Dunlap said Tuesday. "We've been contacted by several hundred individuals from around the globe wishing either to reach out as potential victims or provide information in the ongoing investigation."
Vahey, 64 at the time of his death, was arrested in Westminster in August 1969 after police said he molested eight boys, ages 7 to 9, by engaging in inappropriate pinching at a school where he taught swimming. Vahey, 20 at the time, told authorities he had started touching boys without their consent at age 14.
In court testimony, at least five of the boys said Vahey touched them while helping them with kicking exercises or teaching them to float in the pool. Most of the boys testified that he touched them both on top of and underneath their swimsuits, but that he hadn't chased them, held them down or said anything to them while he did it.
Vahey pleaded guilty to a single charge of lewd and lascivious behavior. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and five years of probation that barred him from being near boys younger than 16 without supervision.
But officials at the time found that Vahey was not a "mentally disordered sex offender," according to a report from a probation officer in January 1970.
The report described Vahey as an "intelligent and sensitive, but socially immature and naïve young man" who was "repelled and humiliated" by his conduct. It predicted that his plans for a career in education had "probably been shattered by his conviction" and that Vahey "will probably require a great deal of reinforcing therapy to stabilize him," as well as treatment "aimed at modifying the sexual misbehavior."
Officials at the time noted that "individuals who sexually molest children do belong in an institution for treatment and/or the community's protection." But they said in the probation report that Vahey "would appear to be the exception to the rule on the basis of his age, the nature of the offense and the outpatient counseling program in which he has been participating."
Vahey, who was working as a teacher's aide in the Long Beach Unified School District at the time of his conviction, had not informed his employer about the charges he faced. Probation officials wrote that he told them that he had "decided to just wait and if they don't say anything, I won't."
Probation officials suggested that either Vahey or the probation department should be required to inform the district. But there is no indication in the court records that such a notification ever happened.
Vahey's conviction required him to register with California's sex offender registry for the remainder of his life. However, Vahey had not renewed his registration as a sex offender since 1970, according to the FBI.
When the registry was put online in 2004, Vahey wasn't listed because he no longer lived in California and was apparently residing in South Carolina, officials with the California Department of Justice said Tuesday,
The FBI is attempting to identify other potential victims through a secure, confidential questionnaire posted on its website, www.fbi.gov.

Creamed Corn Succotash with Cotija — The Weekenderby Marisa McClellan in In Season, Recipes, August 16th, 2013
The first 25 years of my life, I ate fresh corn just one way: It was shucked, boiled until tender and slathered with butter. And while that's a delicious way to handle the sweet corn of summer, I've learned during the last decade that there are many other ways to do it justice.
It was a batch of grilled corn that first opened my eyes to corn's flexibility. I was at a cookout and a friend set shucked and lightly oiled cobs on a hot barbecue and kept turning them until the kernels were speckled and golden. Topped with mayonnaise and a little grated cheese, it was transcendentally good.
Once the corn floodgates were open, it was a quick trip to corn salads, salsas and chowders. Really, the only thing I've not done with corn is make jelly from the corncobs (a traditional Southern preserve).
This summer, the corn has been particularly abundant, and we've been getting a dozen or more ears each week at our farm share pickup. I've done every one of my regular preparations, and still, there's more. Happily, I've recently discovered another recipe to add to my repertoire. It's Bobby Flay's Creamed Corn Succotash with Cotija, and I can't stop eating it.

Vanessa del Rio Review
Vanessa del Rio had a 12 year run in the XXX business doing porn videos. She retired from doing films in the mid 1980's, and now runs her own website apparently by herself from Brooklyn, NY.
She has a lot of content on the site of herself, exclusive stuff you can't get anywhere else. She has huge breasts and a big ole booty. If she got into the business when she was 18, she's around 45 now. Vanessa Del Rio is still featured in magazines like Juggs though, and is a postergirl for the term "voluptuous". The image resolution is medium I'd say, around 500x600, and the pictures are pretty good. The site features content from the 1970's to 2002 and beyond, so the quality of the pictures varies.
If you like her body, and you think she's sexy, maybe you should give Vanessa Del Rio a chance. She's got a lot of extras for people that are interested such as a diary, a place where she answers user questions, movies, stories, etc. She's quite creative with all the things she's offering here. $19.95 for a month of full access. For old fans of her films, this site should be checked out.

In the days following last week's election, pundits on both sides, including the respective campaign managers, cited the Obama campaign's ground game strategy as a huge reason the president did so well in critical battleground states.
The business end of that strategy was executed by a couple hundred enthusiastic volunteers in an El Dorado Hills call center who relentlessly badgered voters in swing states to get out and vote.
The result was a record turnout among the president's key demographics.
"Yea, it looks like we made a difference," said Joni Remer, the El Dorado Hills mom who famously stood up to the hate-spewing anti-gay "truth trucks" in 2005, was a veteran of the 2008 Obama campaign and wanted to extend her reach in 2012.
Remer and her friend Christine Berry became field generals in a get-out-the vote ground game that The Atlantic's Molly Ball described thusly in October: "Four years ago Barack Obama built the largest grassroots organization in the history of American politics. After the election, he never stopped building, and the current operation, six years in the making, makes 2008 look like 'amateur ball."
The Obama campaign's treasure trove of data was fed into a web-based Dashboard tool that allowed a massive, well-organized field operation, including Foothills Moving forward in El Dorado Hills, to put it to good use.
"The campaign provided the names and numbers, and we showed them what we could do," said Remer.
They did a lot. On Tuesday, calls to eastern swing states began at 6 a.m., with some volunteers working until the polls closed in Nevada at 7 p.m. All told, 67 volunteers logged time on Tuesday, placing an estimated 10,000 calls, according to office statistician Sue Escobar.
Remer boasted that Foothills Moving Forward was one of the most effective phone bank operations in Northern California, earning her and Berry a meet-and-greet with the president in San Francisco, and a spot in front for their key FMF lieutenants at his speech that evening.
Operating from the former Marble Valley School site on Windplay Drive in the El Dorado Hills Business Park ‒ the school moved to bigger digs in 2011 ‒ FMF signed up 340 volunteers, with up to 40 working the phones at any one time.
The campaign provided phone lists and real time call scripts tailored to specific call strategies. Volunteers used their own laptops and cell phones, and could work from the call center, a coffee shop or from home.
Others used the campaign's new predictive dialing system, which "esssentially guaranteed a conversation rather than just hoping that someone picks up the phone," said phone bank manager Sam Phelan on Tuesday night.
"It might take a normal person 20 calls to get that one conversation with a swing voter," he added. "This campaign made investments in technology and is working smarter than ever."
At 7:45 p.m. Tuesday night the banquet tables in the phone rooms were littered with cell phone chargers and empty coffee cups. A clutch of volunteers gathered in the common room to watch one after another battleground states they'd been calling fall Obama's way.
Ohio was still in play when Escobar reflected on the 3,600 calls they'd made to haggard Ohio Democrats that day. Many got on the last minute call list becuase the campaign had labeled as occasional voters.
The resulting 322 conversations were all gentle reminders to get out and vote, with street-level instructions on how to get to the local polling place.
The group came together in June and July in a grass roots effort to counter the big money being spent by conservative super PACs, said Escobar, who credited a quote from Margret Mead as her inspiration.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Besides Ohio, the callers targeted Nevada, Colorado, Virginia and Wisconsin in the days leading up to the election.
Shortly after 8 p.m., an excited volunteer burst into the phone room and exclaimed "21 votes left, put a fork in it."
The TV screen showed scenes of a growing celebration at Chicago's McCormick Place. The energy level at FMF grew accordingly.
It became increasingly clear that Mitt Romney would fail to overun the so-called "Midwest firewall."
When Ohio fell the energy level ratcheted even higher. Daniel Stephenson, known for having energy to burn, became a human pogo. His fists pumped so hard that his Asian Americans for Obama button threatened to vacate his Yes We Can T-shirt. .
CNN called the election for Obama a few minutes later. All the hard work and anticipation created an adrenalyn/endorphin cocktail that knocked the celebration into complete bedlam. The exhausted volunteers laughed, cried, hugged and screamed.
Robin Carter closed her eyes, looked to the ceiling and squealed "OH-BAH-MA," then gave Rehmer a bone-crushing hug.
Lynn Hadjian, mouth was agap in shock, looked like she'd just taken a couple hundred volts.
Each of the key FMF volunteers worked over a hundred hours, said Rehmer, who couldn't recall a single day off since opening the office.
One volunteer got her tire spiked. Signs were routinely stolen and verbal abuse was common in El Dorado Hills,
But none of that mattered on Tuesday night. While the world waited for Romney to write his concession speech, the smart phones came out and the social network celebration began in El Dorado Hills.
Team leader Jill Keith of Placerville sat down with a sigh and explained whyshe got involved in politics for the first time in her life at 55.
"I was terrified that our human rights, the stuff we worked so hard for, would be stripped away," she said. "Not just women, but minorities, gays, lesbians, you name it. I was very concerned about what it would mean to my daughter and granddaughter."
Like Escobar, Keith had a poem that she said inspired her to get involved, written after WWII by a pastor who initially supported the Nazis, but later renouced them, and ended up in a concentration camp.
Keith couldn't recall it all, but knew the first and last lines: "First they came for my neighbor, and I said nothing." It concludes "Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out."
Keith is an freelance graphic designer. She said she understands why some people won't speak out about their political beliefs, especially in the current divided ideological climate, and also understands that she could lose clients by airing her politics.
"But at this point I can't not stand up for what I believe in," she said. "Barak Obama gave me hope, but I have to stand up and do my part."
"Foothills Moving Forward will continue," she promised. "There's too much to do and we have great momentum … great volunteers."

Useful Idiots.Reply
Way to go guys! People really do make a difference in elections. Thanks for all your time. I got a chance to see the online tool through the Sierra Club dashboard application and it was pretty sweet. Motivated and excited people like you guys are infectious and I'm sure you helped voters realize they do matter. FORWARD!!!Reply
Useful idiots is a perfect adjective used to describe NoBama a republican.Reply
Well "useful" is the adjective in your example and "idiots" is the noun so I really don't understand the meaning of your incoherent comment.Reply
There is this new thing called Google. You can put in words and it tells you all about it. Try it with "Useful Idiots"Reply
Thanks for the clarification NoBama. Obviously Obama's useful idiots were way more efficient than Romney's. The democrats had a very nice tool that worked flawlessly on election day and directed the idiots to talk to the right people to win the election. The GOP tool "ORCA" crashed on election day and left the republican campaign workers literally looking like "useless idiots".Reply

We celebrate the people who are being reached and the growth of the Kingdom of God. We also intend to explore appropriate avenues of mission-ministry effectiveness and fruitfulness in the future.
Our vision for the future includes at least two strategic areas:
Strategic Partnerships
Embraced Priorities
Strategic Partnerships
involve the possibility of churches partnering with other churches. Ministers may partner with ministers and members with members. As an association of churches we will also partner with other ministries such as the Alabama Baptist Convention State Board of Missions, the North American Mission Board, the International Mission Board and other appropriate ministry endeavors.
Embracement of Priorities
will become essential. We will follow God's direction in seeking to do only what we can do. We trust God to impress upon our hears where we should prioritize our efforts. We will seek to do what we do with excellence for the Glory of God and the good of
His Kingdom.
We are seeking to saturate our mission-ministries in prayer. We are seeking God's desire, God's design and God's direction in all that we do.
Our desire is to magnify the Lord Jesus Christ. In order to do that, we will operate in unity and love which He clearly stated as His desire for us (John 13:34-35, 17:20-21). Ultimately, after all is said and done, the Pastors, Ministerial Staff Ministers, Members of Morgan Baptist Association Churches and Ministry Partners will exclaim in one refrain. . .

The Arab League seems to have had a testosterone rush. This was an organisation that used to be a byword for caution and hypocrisy. It was good for a stern statement on Israel, and little else. Yet, suddenly, here we have the League calling for regime change in Syria, followed by a peaceful transition to democracy. It is also taking its demands to the UN Security Council. So what is going on? Read more

Brisbane lord mayor
While Premier
The shock of a high-profile candidate who hasn't even been pre-selected for a seat taking the reins of the election campaign and presuming he will become premier if the LNP wins the election will eventually subside for most voters.
It has got up the nose of most political purists – those who rely on precedents on how things have been done in the past – but Queensland voters will soon adapt to the new reality.
Most voters don't take much notice of the hustle and bustle of state politics until the election campaign begins and then usually don't decide who to vote for until close to polling day.
Mr Newman's unprecedented challenge to become premier from outside Parliament will ensure he receives blanket media coverage of anything he says or does for the next 12 months – or until the next election is held.
He will be seen as equal to Ms Bligh in the television news coverage each night, even though he has yet to be endorsed as the LNP candidate for Ashgrove.
As far as the average punter is concerned, this contest will be between Mr Newman and Ms Bligh. They don't care about the practicalities.
There is the not insignificant hurdle of Mr Newman actually winning the inner-Brisbane seat, which is held by the popular Environment Minister
In his favour, he has a high profile and is respected for his "can do" attitude in building road infrastructure in Brisbane and his leadership during the January floods.
The LNP will also invest a lot of money in the seat while Mr Newman, who will quit City Hall once he is endorsed as the candidate, will begin his full-time campaign.
The challenge for Mr Newman is to convince the whole state, especially regional Queensland, that he would be a better premier than Ms Bligh, while at the same time doing enough in his chosen electorate to ensure he actually gets elected to Parliament.
Labor's trump card will be their unofficial campaign slogan: Who will be premier if the LNP wins the election but Mr Newman doesn't win his seat?
The campaign posters will already be at the printing press.
Ms Bligh and Labor will be tempted to capitalise on the uncertainty and head straight to the polls.
But they would be well advised to wait until the dust settles and see how the new political landscape works.
Having Nationals stalwart
Are they going to hold joint press conferences? Who will deliver their post-budget address? Who decides their policies, let alone sells them in Parliament?
Last month's opinion poll, which ended the leadership of the LNP's
Labor's primary vote has recovered from the political death zone of 28 per cent to 35 per cent – still well short of the 42.2 per cent it achieved at the 2009 election.
Labor would lose about 20 seats if those numbers were replicated at the ballot box. It also needs time to win over voters again.

FC - Quality tested
The H1.2F3 antibody has been reported to augment T cell activation. Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: in vitro T cell and NK cell activation1-3, immunohistochemistry4,5, and immunoprecipitation1.This antibody has been characterized in the literature as containing a lambda (λ) light chain.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.25 µg per million cells in 100 µl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

CD69 is a 60 kD type II membrane protein composed of a 27/33 kD disulfide-linked homodimer, also known as Very Early Activation Antigen (VEA), AIM, EA1, MLR3, and gp34/28. It is expressed on a subset of thymocytes and platelets. CD69 is rapidly induced on activated T and B cells, neutrophils, and NK cells. It is a C-type lectin, closely related to the NKR-P1 and Ly-49 NK cell activation molecules. CD69 is involved in the early events of cell activation and thymocyte positive selection.
