Victorian health authorities were yesterday forced to act for the second time in a week to contain a meningococcal disease outbreak as they confirmed a fourth high school student on the Bellarine Peninsula was showing symptoms.
Authorities said they were convinced the student had the disease.
Victoria's chief health officer, Dr Robert Hall, said officials were assessing whether 69 people who had been at two parties with the year 12 schoolgirl from Bellarine Secondary College should receive urgent antibiotic treatment.
The student, 18, was admitted to Geelong Hospital on Friday. She was in a stable condition and was responding well to treatment yesterday.
"The greatest risk with this disease occurs within the first 24 hours," Dr Hall said.
"We have a list of 69 people at two particular parties held in Ocean Grove on Thursday and Point Lonsdale on Saturday. Our team has been . . . contacting these people so that they can be assessed for their need for clearance antibiotics."
A high proportion of the group would be likely to need treatment, he said.
The student admitted to hospital on Friday is the fourth from Bellarine Secondary College to be treated for the disease.
Three year 9 students from the same college were admitted to hospital a week ago, two of whom have subsequently tested positive for an identical strain of meningococcal C. All three year 9 students have since been released from hospital.
Students at Bellarine Secondary College were the subject of an extensive vaccination program after the cases were discovered last week.
Dr Hall said there was no direct connection between the latest case and the other three.
Dr Hall, breaking the news yesterday of the latest case, said a specialist at Geelong Hospital had made his diagnosis after the teenager displayed symptoms of meningococcal disease.
"She had a high temperature, muscle aches and pains throughout the body and a rash was starting to evolve all over her body," he said. Laboratory tests are expected to confirm the hospital's diagnosis.
"This student (the latest case) was vaccinated about three days before she became ill, which unfortunately is too short a time for the vaccine to have started to work," Dr Hall said.
In January health officials began a two-year, free vaccination program for all Victorians aged one to five and 15 to 19, the age groups most at risk of contracting the disease.
Meanwhile, mystery remains as to why the rate of the potentially fatal type C strain is twice as high in the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula region than other parts of the state.
Experts have said there is nothing about the region that should be blamed for higher rates, pointing instead to demographics and the contagious nature of the disease that lives harmlessly in the throats of up to 20 per cent of the population.
The disease is most often found among toddlers (type B strain) and teenagers - two age groups where close proximity provides the opportunity for the disease to spread.
The head of the Barwon Health immunisation service, Stephen Graves, said the disease would be more prevalent where there were greater numbers of young people living in close proximity, such as university campuses, boarding schools and military establishments, all of which are found in the Geelong area.
The rate of the meningococcal C strain per 100,000 people in the Barwon area has been higher than any other in the state for the past three years. This year, it has been at least double that of all but two other regions identified by the Department of Human Services.
Overall, the disease was more common among the 0-5 and 15-25 age groups than others, Dr Graves said, and was more likely to emerge in late winter and early spring. Among adults, the occupation that records the most cases is that of school teacher.
The Barwon region is about halfway through its schedule to immunise all 15-year-old schoolchildren against the type C strain, the only type for which a vaccine is available.
Dr Hall said risk factors included living with a large number of people and smoking.
"If you're a smoker you're more likely to give it to somebody else," he said.

Lonzo Ball had another strong performance in the NBA Summer League, this time in another brand of footwear.
Ball's Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 94-83 in tournament play on Thursday. A night after a 36-point, eight-rebound, 11-assist performance, Ball had 16 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds against Cleveland.
Thursday's winners advanced to the quarterfinal round on Saturday with Portland playing San Antonio, Miami facing Memphis, Dallas against Boston and the Lakers meeting Brooklyn.
Ball created quite a sensation Wednesday when, instead of his own ZO2 shoes, which sell for $495 under his family's independent fashion line Big Baller Brand, he...

Style: 36677979 Colour:
Vegan leather moto jacket featuring a knit collar. Asymmetrical zipper closure with side zip pockets.
Free People
Such an amazing jacket at a great price (only £35 for my to the UK in the sale with the special 40% off sale items one weekend deal). I read comments about the fitting so I got one size up to my usual size (I'd usually be a 4 or 6 in American sizes so I ordered an 8) and this fits great how I would like it to be- slightly loose and comfortable. I will not be wearing it zipped up as I prefer the open look so it's not going to be an issue for me with D cup boobs (as someone else mentioned in a review). THANK YOU I love it
Where do I start...
Sad to say, but not all FP is made for us C/D ladies. I'm a 34D. If you think the zipped up version of this jacket looks a bit awkward on the model, imagine being larger chested than her (which probably applies to most of us). Upon arrival, this jacket was full of wrinkles, so it looked nothing like the pic. I'm not sure how long it would take to get the wrinkles out, but I didn't feel like waiting that long. The sleeve length was perfect on the 12, but the overall look both opened and zipped just wasn't flattering. The zipper itself doesn't begin until 1/4 of the way up the jacket to give that "v" look on the bottom which on me, makes the jacket look a bit more cropped, probably b/c my chest is strained a bit. And of course, from the side view, my chest pushes the jacket out a bit which again, not flattering. Back you go jacket! :/

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello. Im a 25 year old male. I have a pain in my lower left rib cage. Both my primary doc and chriopractor have diagnoised me with floating rib. The pain comes and goes and can sometimes be worse than other. I get the pain after i eat. Some important things to keep note of is that i had a colon and endo done in march, came back normal. Blood work done in march, came back normal. I had a CT scan on my entire abdomen on saturday...all came back normal. What could cause the pain after i eat?
Hello, welcome to the site! My name isXXXXX will try to assist you with your medical question and any medical information you seek.
I'm sorry to hear about this pain
Do you take any medication?
i take something for IBS
it starts with a "H"
hyspocean or something?
Okay, the pain in your stomach may be from IBS, or it may be from an ulcer
i didnt have an ulcer but i had my colonoscopy
this is happening in my rib
A colonoscopy cannot detect a gastric ulcer
It may be an ulcer, but it may also be due to IBS
just a question
im a very nervous person and was worried about some sort of cancer
thats why i had the CT
i thought something was wrong with my pancreas....did a little too much researching on the internet
Your pancreas is fine if the CT scan was normal
all my organs were fine
i know this is ridiculous, but a CT scan would definetely show something right?
Yes, it would
so this might just be from an ulcer?
i sometimes feel like nausea when i wake up
its only for 20 mins or so then goes away
why would that be?
It could be from IBS or an ulcer
thank you
You're quite welcome

I just came up with this, because I am trying to understand how in the hell did Madara survive that (fatal as it seems) hit. Hashirama is no noob, when he strikes like that with the intention to kill, he hits a vital spot.
So Hashirama couldn't have missed.
We know that Izanagi is out of the question because Madara managed to evolve two Rinnegan, thus he couldn't have sacrificed one to save his ass. The technique doesn't even work like that.
So Hashirama leaves and Madara remains there dead. By the way what kind of friend does that??
Someone said he tricked Hashirama with genjutsu. But what about the wound? He did get the wound and the wound is by a direct hit to a vital spot. So that doesn't work either.
So it seems we are just missing info here. Remember when Madara told Kabuto about the "secret" of his body? Was he really just referring to his Hashi boob? Or there is more?
Just throwing an idea, don't kill me :D

Man Killed on Loop 410 Access Road
A man died when he was run over by a car on the northwest side this morning, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Police say Bobby Joe Montanez, 28, had apparently been arguing with his girlfriend in a bar near Ingram and Loop 410.
Shortly after midnight, the couple got into their car and drove off, but the argument apparently continued inside the car.
When they had driven onto the access road of Loop 410, the man suddenly stopped the car, and got out and started to walk down the access road. Then, detectives say, he suddenly stepped out into traffic.
An oncoming vehicle slammed into him, killing him instantly. Police say the driver of the car stopped and said he didn't see the victim until it was too late, and no charges are expected.

Secretly we've been waiting for this one. Liam Gallagher parted with Oasis and started his new band Beady Eye. We were curious to know what he thinks of the new Radiohead album.
Talking to the Quietus he stated: "I'm well aware that our new album has been done before. It ain't nothing new but it's fucking great." On the The King Of Limbs however: "We just like what we do. I heard that fucking Radiohead record and I just go, 'What?!' I like to think that what we do, we do fucking well. Them writing a song about a fucking tree? Give me a fucking break! A thousand year old tree? Go fuck yourself! You'd have thought he'd have written a song about a modern tree or one that was planted last week. You know what I mean?"

How happy he would be if he could pass in the latter for Constantine, and in the former for Babeuf!
The Babeuf conspiracy was discovered by the council of 500 in Paris.
May 11, 1796, was fixed for seizing on the government, and Babeuf had prepared his Proclamation of the socialistic millennium.
The defect in principle of the Constitution was the origin of Babeuf's conspiracy.
Babeuf's character has perhaps been sufficiently indicated above.
Buonarotti, formerly Babeuf's accomplice, preached Communism.
Because I am "by nature" a man I have an equal right to the enjoyment of all goods, says Babeuf.
Babeuf is a speculator to Cartouche; Marat is an aristocrat to Schinderhannes.
The trial of Babeuf and the others, begun at Vendme on the 20th of February 1797, lasted two months.
Eulogies are here pronounced on Robespierre and on Babeuf himself; they demand the levy en masse and the disarming of "suspects."

I'm looking for friends and partners in crime... maybe dating if we click?
It would be great to have some of these things in common if we're likely to get along: pubs>clubs, gorging on good TV dramas, beer, overthinking everything all the time everywhere, daydreaming, couch-cuddling, sarcasm, architecture, nerdery, the worst jokes ever, quiet time, American politics as spectator sport (and Jon Stewart and Colbert), and cheese.
If you don't identify as a feminist, if you don't believe that Black Lives Matter, and if you think privilege doesn't exist, we will not get along.
I really like honest, genuine people. Creativity is a big winner in my books too, as is willingness to get into deep, meandering conversations.
I am fidgety, spoony, and surprisingly crunchy.
If you 'like' me, send a message, hey?
I'm really good at overthinking is what I'm saying here.
Apparently I'm pretty good at making dinner. And breakfast. In bed, if you're special.
TV, short list: Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen (guilty pleasure), MasterChef (ditto), Mad Men, Rome, House of Cards (both versions), Modern Family (one of the funniest, most adorably realistic sitcoms ever), Carnivale (so disappointed they didn't get to finish the full storyline), AbFab, Community (even though it is a shambling zombie corpse of what it once was). Slings and Arrows is one of the best TV shows ever, ever made.
I will eat pretty much anything. Not really into offal. You can be vegetarian, that's cool, but no judgement if I eat meat (and no judgement that you don't).
Movies, random sampling: Hunger Games, Pulp Fiction, LOTR, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, RED (and the second; I would watch Helen Mirren read the phonebook for two hours).
Music: mainly stuff that goes thump, mainly mid 90s-early 00s.
Where my life is going, where I want it to go, where it's been.
Intersectionality or GTFO
Just because I've looked at your profile and not messaged you doesn't mean I'm necessarily not interested; maybe I don't feel I fit your criteria or something.

NICK Bent's incoherent letter, Guardian, February 20, hardly merits reply. He states as a fact that the Lib Dems had a plan to co-opt a Tory to fill the vacancy on Appleton Parish Council. There was no such plan. Mr Bent has simply made this up and it is untrue.
We had not given any thought to co-option to fill the vacancy because we were certain that Labour would call an election. The aggressive behaviour of their candidate, who had just started attending parish council meetings as a member of the public, made that abundantly clear. A by-election rules out co-option.
So let's get the facts straight. Mr Bent called the by-election, which will cost Appleton Parish Council about £5,500, for purely political reasons. That is fair enough, but at least he could have the honesty to admit it.

LUBBOCK, Texas – A west Texas man pleaded guilty Thursday before U.S. District Judge Sam R. Cummings to one count each of producing and receiving child pornography.
This guilty plea was announced by U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas. This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the U.S. Marshals Service and the Brown County Sheriff's Office.
Jacob Aniceto Jose Villarreal, 29, of Brownwood, Texas, has been in custody since his arrest in June on a related federal criminal complaint. He faces a total maximum statutory penalty of not less than 15 years or more than 50 years in federal prison, a $500,000 fine and a lifetime of supervised release. Judge Cummings ordered a presentence investigation report with a sentencing date to be set after the report is completed.
On June 25, HSI special agents executed a federal search warrant at Villarreal's home and seized five computers, two telephones and three thumb drives.
According to documents filed in the case, Villarreal used his cell phone to create a video of a boy engaged in sexually explicit conduct. In addition, Villarreal admitted that he collected and traded images and videos of child pornography. Some of the child pornography was collected using peer-to-peer file-sharing software. Most of the images and videos depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct were received and sent via Villarreal's cell phone.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven M. Sucsy is in charge of the prosecution.
The investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide HSI initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders and child sex traffickers. HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-347-2423 or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, 1-800-843-5678.
HSI is a founding member and current chair of the Virtual Global Taskforce, an international alliance of law enforcement agencies and private industry sector partners working together to prevent and deter online child sexual abuse.

CALGARY (AP) Jarome Iginla came up big once again for the Calgary Flames.
Iginla scored two goals and the Flames held off the Anaheim Mighty Ducks 3-2 on Saturday night to take a 3-2 lead in the first-round Western Conference series.
"Everybody in our room, me included, was pumped for this game and knew the importance," said Iginla, who also scored twice in the overtime loss in Game 4 on Thursday night.
GAME REPORT: Flames 3, Mighty Ducks 2
Flames forward Matthew Lombardi says it was the kind of game they've come to expect from their captain.
"Again tonight he shows us the way and has another huge game for us," Lombardi said. "As a team we feed off him real well and the energy he brings. He's such a good leader."
Calgary won a fifth straight Game 5 in which the series was tied 2-2. The Flames split the first four games in each of their four playoff series in 2004, and won the fifth game each time.
Tony Amonte opened the scoring with a short-handed goal at 5:49 of the first period, and Iginla made it 2-0 with a power-play goal with 3:42 left in the period.
Daymond Langkow worked the puck back to Andrew Ference at the blue-line whose slapshot deflected off Iginla, then caromed off the skate of Ducks defenseman Joe DiPenta and past goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere.
"He's throwing the team on his back and kind of carrying the flag for us," Ference said of Iginla.
Iginla added his fifth goal of the series at 1:03 of the second period when he fended off Scott Niedermayer and redirected Langkow's centering pass behind Giguere.
"That was a goal scorer's goal, a one-time deflection," Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle said. "He's a dynamic player and you can't allow that time and space to him for those things to happen."
Anaheim's Andy McDonald spoiled Miikka Kiprusoff's bid for his sixth career playoff shutout, scoring a power-play goal at 8:19 of the third. Kiprusoff, who had five shutouts two years ago when he helped the Flames reach the Stanley Cup finals, poke-checked the puck into McDonald's skates and it deflected over the goalie and into the net.
The Mighty Ducks, coming off a 3-2 overtime victory at home Thursday night, pulled within one on Rob Niedermayer's power-play goal with 33 seconds left.
Kiprusoff finished with 26 saves.
Anaheim's Ilya Bryzgalov stopped all 19 shots he faced after replacing starter Giguere early in the second period. Giguere allowed three goals on eight shots.
"This is just a bump in the road," Giguere said. "In the playoffs you go through all kinds of emotions, all kinds of scenarios. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad, but at the end of the day, they're all good experiences and you'll learn from them and make you better."
On Amonte's opening goal, Lombardi took the puck inside his own blue line and raced up the ice on a 1-on-2 against rookies Francois Beauchemin and Ryan Getzlaf. After crossing the Anaheim blue line, Lombardi cut to his right and went wide on Getzlaf. As Beauchemin came across to help, Lombardi zipped a backhand pass through both of them to an uncovered Amonte in the slot.
"We made a poor read, I didn't think Getzlaf was beat but our defenseman went over and really overplayed it," Carlyle said. "They through the puck back in front of the net and it was basically a wide open net."
It was the second short-handed goal allowed in the series by the Ducks, who gave up 13 during the regular season.
Game 6 of the best-of-seven series is Monday night in Anaheim. If necessary, the teams will return to Calgary for Game 7 on Wednesday night.
Notes: Bryzgalov, who stopped 28 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss in Game 1, has a .959 save-percentage in the series. Giguere is at .845 after giving up 13 goals on 84 shots. ... Calgary improved to 10-1 all time in Game 5s that come with the series tied 2-2. Of the nine previous wins, the Flames went on to win the series seven times. ... Anaheim's lineup featured six rookies and 10 players appearing in their first NHL playoff series. ... Calgary made one lineup change at forward replacing Jamie Lundmark with Mike Leclerc. ... The team that has scored first has won all five games in the series. ... Since the Olympic break, Calgary has played 30 games in 61 days. Kiprusoff has started 28 of them.

text: Henry Jenkins and i co-authored an interview essay based on questions from the MIT News Office to address concerns related to the proposed American law entitled Deleting Online Predators Act (DOPA). We recognize that parents and legislators are concerned, but we do not believe that DOPA is the best approach and we fear that, if implemented, it will cause more harm than good. We conducted this interview in the hopes that it provides valuable information for parents, legislators and press who are interested in the issue. http://www.danah.org/papers/MySpaceDOPA.html I believe that this topic affects our research community as a whole. The proposed law affects most Internet communities, including chatrooms, mailing lists, photo sharing sites, gaming environments and social network sites. It is also a slippery slope legislative piece, working to give American legislators more control over who participates online, in what ways and where. Collectively, we have a lot of knowledge about this terrain and the positive aspects of digital culture. This needs to be surfaced publicly in order to combat the culture of fear. I know that most of you aren't obsessing about MySpace as much as i am, but i believe that what is happening with MySpace will affect many of us on this list. Finally, as researchers, we're often faced with how press cover this terrain and we're often asked to speak out as experts. For better or worse, i've become a press puppet on all things MySpace and i'm tired of seeing myself in print. I also believe that there are other voices that need to be heard, other relevant academic knowledge that needs to be elevated. I have to imagine that there are other academics who could join me in addressing the press and combatting the fears the public has over how people use technology. If you are interested in speaking to the press about these issues, please let me know. In particular, i'm especially looking for other researchers who have expertise in digital youth, online/offline sociability, online dating, risk assessment, reputation costs, gaming, blogging and anything else you might be seeing the press cover right now under the fear category. I know that public-facing academic engagement is controversial, but i'm definitely in the camp which says, "I am obliged to contribute. Silence is complicity" (Diane Bell, "Writing in the eye of a storm"). My hope is that others are interested in helping combat the fear-mongering with all of the knowledge that we have about this domain. danah - - - - - - - - - - d a n a h ( d o t ) o r g - - - - - - - - - - "taken out of context i must seem so strange" musings :: http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts

OCWEN Loan Servicing, LLC Ocwen Financial Corporations illegal practices, denied twice for home modification, ignored court requests, unrealistic fees, rediculous interest rates West Palm Beach Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have 2 times to get a loan modification once they claim they lost it, the second time they said I made too much money. What they quoted as my income was much more than I was making. They said I must have made errors in my documents and I would have to refile. I payed a lump sum to get caught up, but in the end I had to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I payed the attorney extra to help get a home modification. OCWEN would not respond to the attornies, they did not show up for court, and did not respond to the court when sent a letter by the court. OCWEN would not accept reduced payments that my attorney said to pay, so I had to come up with another lump sum; but OCWEN says I owe more and the fees are absolutely rediculous. To top it off my interest rate just went up from 6.5 to 9.5, and the letter stated it can go up every 6 months until it reaches 15.5%. This all started when my husband was layed off several times until he finally lost his job. I still work, but I worked a consistent 50-60 hours a week for 10 years; until my company pulled all overtime. I have tried my hardest to try to keep up to date and pay what I owe, but I awlays seem to owe them more. I also think it is illegal to not cash a check for 2-4 weeks after they receive it. I am at my wits end and do not know where to go for help.

"Top notch work, family owned and operated, who could ask for more! Highly recommend this auto body shop if you care about you vehicle."
"Simply the best. Always delivering real craftsmanship and high quality. I'm very picky and always very satisfied with their work and their honesty. Thanks Vanderpool's!"
"This place is simply the best! I have taken my vehicle here for years and they are always wonderful! Never had a problem or complaint, and they will give you a free estimate on work without any hassle. Simply the best family run collision center in the city. If you have never worked with them, I would recommend that you do. I have put A LOT of money into the body work on my race vehicle and I always use Vanderpool's. Thanks guys! Bringing the STi in again soon!"
"This family run business is the best, they are very friendly and just down to earth people. I will recommend them to everyone I know. They do outstanding work especially on classics and high end cars. Keep up the great work!"
"Matching silver paint on a car that has endured 12 years of Arizona sun is a challenge that would bring concerns to any car owner after a fender bender, but Vanderpool's did it, did it right and I am very pleased. I am very fussy about these kids of things and expect perfection. I got it at Vanderpool's and highly recommend them."
"I first started using Vanderpool's in 2005. They have painted both my daily driver after it was stolen & my show cars. I always deal with Jason, who is both extremely knowledgable and helpful. Not to mention he dealt with my insurance adjuster so I wouldn't have to. All my vehicles painted by Vanderpool's get tons of compliments. The paint is smooth & glossy and the color is always a perfect match. There are no bubbles, paint-runs or imperfections. At car shows I am often told my paintjob is the best one there.
I have also used Vanderpool's for many painted pieces in custom stereo projects. These projects have been shown in magazines such as "5.0 Mustang & Super Fords". I HIGHLY recommend this shop to everyone I know."
"I recently got in an accident that wasn't my fault and I needed a shop I could trust and did a quality outstanding job. That's why I brought it to Vanderpools they made my experience painless and my car looks amazing like nothing ever happened! It even looks better than before! If you want a fast or cheap shop this isn't the shop for you! They don't rush their quality repair or do a cheap job they go over and beyond for you . You don't want a cheap job or it wouldn't be done right! Thank You Wayne Vanderpool I'm so happy with my repair!!"
"I've had my BMW repaired here twice. Wayne is a very nice guy and knows what he is doing. They are also ok if you bring your own parts. Specialize in high-end imports and he always has some interesting cars lying around.
To the other reviewer who said the shop is "dirty and cluttered," this is not a BMW franchise dealer and don't expect it to be surgically pristine. Wayne and his employees have demonstrated to me their passion for cars by the quality of work they've performed on my bimmer; I'm a customer because I do share that passion and I quite like the character of the place."
"Unfortunately my Infiniti has been in two fender benders in a matter of 6 months, but FORTUNATELY both times I've taken it to Vanderpool's. They came highly recommended, as they are very professional and are known for their superb workmanship.
Wayne will make sure your vehicle is taken care of, and won't let your insurance try to cut costs. My first accident involved the driver side fender, bumper. head light & grill. The second was a hit & run, and involved my back quarter panel and bumper. Insurance wanted to use some adhesive to repair the back bumper, Wayne made sure they replaced it.
Vanderpool's Auto is absolutely one of the best body shops in town; with great customer service and fair pricing for quality work. Something you see less and less of with businesses these days. I had a friend who had his truck painted, and at the car wash his paint started to peel off. Unbelievable, I know!!!
I recommend Vanderpool's to anyone that wants their vehicle to be repaired to better than new!"
"My 2005 Honda C-RV received a light rear-ender from a young man who was in a bigger hurry than I, I guess. I found Vanderpools' on Yelp, and took it to them for repair. When I picked up the car three days later, I was astonished - it looked like new! There was not the slightest trace that it had ever been damaged, (and I know what to look for.) It's a family owned, local business, the workmanship was perfect, it was ready when promised, and the price was significantly lower than two other quotes i received. Don't even think about it - take your car to them when it needs body work. A."
"Excellent customer service. Expert workmanship. Recommended by the Tucson Chaparral Section of the Mercedes Benz Club of American."
"The best place to take your car or truck!!!! I took my truck here and I couldn't be happier!!!!"
"Great Auto Body place! Specializes in high end and sporty cars (but works on all of them) and really knows his stuff! A real car enthusiast working in the auto industry. Prices are a little higher then the auto "warehouses" but they treat you right and the job they did for me was top notch!"

Investigators have recovered "hundreds" of photos and videos of children as young as eight days old being raped by an illegal Wakefield day care worker, who photographed the horrific abuse over two years and memorialized it in a computer file labeled "Little 2," a prosecutor disclosed yesterday in court filings.
John Burbine, 49, a Level 1 sex offender, is also accused of repeatedly molesting multiple children from multiple families who entrusted him to care for their kids overnight.
"The defendant (Burbine) was brought into the homes of the parents of the victims to keep their children safe and violated them in every way possible," Middlesex Assistant District Attorney Katelyn K. Draper told a clerk-magistrate yesterday.

New Book: A Companion to the United States Constitution and Its Amendments
We've just received A Companion to the United States Constitution and Its Amendments, which provides explanations, historical background, and case citations to the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and subsequent Amendments.
For example, when discussing the sixth amendment, author John R. Vile points out that while the Sixth Amendment provides for a speedy and public trial, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to precisely define what speedy meant. After the case (Barker v. Wingo) Congress passed the Speedy Trial Act of 1974, providing for precise time frames for a "speedy trial" that the federal government must follow. If you're interested in the original text only, the appendix material includes the full text of the U.S. Constitution, Amendments, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation.
In addition to providing explanations for individual sections of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Amendments, Vile includes 50 leading U.S. Supreme Court cases interpreting the Constitution; a glossary; highlights of Constitutional history; and a list of U.S. Supreme Court justices.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Brain tumour is unlikely but a neurological cause can be there and a squint work-up is required by an ophthalmologist or an orthoptist to confirm that. Your son is more likely to have accomodative esotropia or acquired esotropia which are not present since birth.
Children who have been farsighted and have not had glasses, or children who were responsive to glasses but later developed an additional eye-crossing, are the most commonly affected with acquired esotropia. Children with acquired eye-crossing require prompt evaluation and treatment to correct the deviation and to restore binocular vision.
In accomodative esotropia, young children can often overcome farsightedness by focusing their eyes to adjust to the condition, but the effort required for this focusing causes the eyes to cross. Eyeglasses can reduce the focusing effort and sometimes straighten the eyes. You need to see a squint surgeon to confirm the diagnosis. Thanks.
Please, click the ACCEPT BUTTON so that I can get my dues. BONUS and a POSITIVE FEEDBACK will be appreciated.

ergh I dont want Pierce at all.
he had a meltdown to rival ron in the 1st round when his team was in a very good position, which concievably could have cost his team a series. sure he is a talented scorer, reasonable defender and rebounder but I dont like his attitude. he wants to be the primary scorer but seems to get very down on his team when things aren't going his way. no way in hell do we trade ron for him. ron tears him apart one on one, atleast when ron melts down in the playoffs its the ecf and its a lil bit justified.
i could see memphis offering multiple players for him. i think pierce/gasol could be a very potent combo.

BET Suspends Producer After Blue Ivy Joke [VIDEO]
BET suspended a producer today after writing an offensive joke for yesterday's 106 & Park. In what's being called "a last minute addition to the script," one of the show's producers wrote a joke regarding Blue Ivy's hair at the MTV Video Music Awards. The joke was written for Chris Brown's girlfriend and 106 & Park host, Karreuche Tran, who then told the joke on the air, and is now receiving death threats from angry fans.
BET's president of music programming and specials, Stephen Hill, publicly apologized on Twitter. "Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child," he tweeted.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello- Thank you for asking the question. I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families & am happy to reply.
I am happy to help you with this.
It takes courage to change and to make choices that inspire you inner desires are those that you should always follow.
For many years, I have told people with similar questions that " It is too easy to stay" meaning that the comforts of what is know sometimes prevent us from moving in a direction.
i dont get you. Things are lot easier said than done. i am really really confused or perhaps dont have the courage to do what i desire.
Follow your passion, regardless of the end, you will gain great strength and insight and declare yourself in a way that is new and natural.
Barriers are common to change- it is the resistance to change that you must confront. When complete- the order will reveal itself
You define you = and your destiny- no one else-
part of the problem i am asking is this. the world is in turmoil and there are lots of unemployment etc, why do i want to give up what i have to go into things unknown. it may turn out good or worse, i may end up in a worse position financially
embrace this challenge and you will enrich your life.
what is it that you wish to do.?
All change has risk-
Risk and change go hand in hand-------what is more important..........to be tied at the dock or out in the open ocean sailing your own ship?
You dont understand. what right do i have to want to do this at a late age of 46. When i wanted to do this earlier, i did not have the finance. now i dont have as much financial responsibility and want this to improve myself and to knwo more about myself.
I have always been teaching business communication. I intend to take up courses in voice and performance in Vancouver and US to be a competent speaker and a creative storyteller.
Fantastic- follow your dream-------------
despite my age and the unknown.
We only have one life- the unknown is all we have anyway? Right?>
We are often locked in the comfortable know when in reality-----------nothing is truly known.. Tomorrow could be the last chance we have.
one should follow a dream despite the given uncertainties
You have just given the definition of a dream.............follow it-.
IF it was not present in your conscience mind--------it would not be real or viable. To dismiss is to dismiss your true self.
would you still recommend if i am not financially secure in doing the courses i intend.
Do you know what a tombstone is?
a simplistic structure that states that a person has come to rest in life or at least his mortal remains.
Have you ever seen one that says-----------"Gee, I wish I had spent another day at the office making money"
no i have not. nt yet anyway
That is my point- your focus is heartfelt and nothing that has to do with making money should take its place of such a DREAM.
The dream or talent wins every time. HAPPINESS!
it is better to have a dream and to have pursued it and then not. my friends and family think i am committing suicide of all sorts. i should just shut the dam mind and live with what i have.
Money and financial security has nothing to do with inner happiness........
I agree with you. It is your life -----------------not theirs.
Let them make their choices.
To live their lives as they wish- not as they wish you to live.
Honestly, is it suicide to want to do something different at a ripe age of 46. i would have to start all over again and compete with the very young and hale and hearty
46- 47- 48- 49-
you will continue to wonder if you should have tried.
If you have been successful making money once- you can do it again- Take a year and give it a try.
If you succeed- you will be forever happy. If not, you can always make money.
Dear Bill, i have been thinking of this for a decade. Please tell me something to hammer the thought that i should not let caution in the wind stop me. I should just pursue what i want in this life.
That is not what brings inner joy|
i do not want to be thinking that i should have done this in another decade. i want to do it now. i know that i will succeed and i know i will try very try to do what must be done
Mantra: "PURSUE WHAT I WANT IN LIFE"
It comes from you as it is you.
Keep repeating the Mantra that came from within you............don't wait to follow a dream- embrace it now- for it yours now and forever more.
Pursue it now.....That is all we have...........the gift of the present.
I wish you peace and the fulfillment of your dreams............Chase it now..................and do not look back.
Your future is ahead of you.........the past is gone.
Kindest regards,
i sitll dont know if i could be making a wrong move in leaving a secure job.
Then you are not ready----------give yourself permission- it can only come from you.
A secure job----------hmmmmmmmmmmm??????? what does that really mean-------------think about that- and how happy you are with such security..............
I wish you th ebest,
I appreciate your positive rating and wish you the very best.............

So there is a commercial advantage NVIDIA gained by keeping the details of their drivers private.
No announcement yet.
Nouveau vs. NVIDIA Linux vs. NVIDIA Windows 8.1

Not that I want to downplay the radeon drivers or their developers, they are doing good work and the driver is good, but we don't know how good nouveau would be if they would get proper support from Nvidia.

Originally posted by Vim_User View PostSo on the latest generations of Nvidia hardware the closed source Nvidia driver is in many cases faster on Linux than on Windows. A great point for Linux gaming and Nvidia, but it already shows that the often sub-par performance of AMD's closed drivers is not caused by Linux, but by the driver itself.
My two conclusions on that:
- Nvidia, give the nouveau developers more information, so that they can work out the issues with their drivers
- AMD, get the developers of your closed drivers the whip, so that they come up with an equally performant driver
I couldn't really see the difference between how fglrx was comparing to windows and what nvidia's driver was doing.
Both were mostly even in a lot of tests, and way behind in a lot of others. Maybe you give nvidia a slight edge, by 1 or 2 percent, but that's basically meaningless.
A far cry from what everyone always says about how great Nvidia's driver perform compared to windows and AMD.
On the other hand, it's virtually impossible to gain anything meaningful from the "benchmarks" michael is doing, so maybe on real tests NVidia would pull ahead. I just haven't seen it from what Michael is posting.
For examples, here are two representative tests.
Here, both the linux drivers are essentially even with their windows counterparts. AMD is about 1% slower on linux, while NVidia is about 1% faster. Which means it's essentially dead even and a wash. No victory by anyone.
Here, both the linux drivers are way behind their windows counterparts, and both lose equally badly.
I just don't see how you can look at these tests (the ones above are representative of all the ones Michael did) and see a big huge nvidia or linux victory. Unless you're simply trolling.Last edited by smitty3268; 11-01-2013, 12:08 AM.

He seems to see Phoronix more as a way to show off PTS than to actually benchmark what we'd all like to see.
Hence, no problem.

Universal Orlando will drop health insurance coverage for part-time workers starting in 2014, when a new insurance rule will go into effect under Obamacare, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Universal currently offers part-time employees low-premium coverage with limited benefits that are capped below the level allowed by Obamacare.
The plan costs about $18 a week for coverage that will pay up to $5,000 per year in hospital stays, according to the Sentinel. About 500 part-time Universal employees are currently covered under the plan.
"We care about our team members and we want them to have best, most-affordable medical benefits we can provide," Universal spokesman Tom Schroder said Tuesday, according to the Sentinel. "This particular issue affects about 3 percent of our 17,000 team members, and we're going to continue to work toward a solution."
Universal is not the only company to drop part-time insurance because of Obamacare. Darden Restaurants, also based in Orlando, will reportedly drop its part-time coverage in 2014 as well.
And Dunkin' Brands is lobbying for the definition of "full-time" workers to be changed from 30 hours to 40 hours, consistent with state and federal laws. The move would significantly reduce the number of employees it would have to cover, though Dunkin' told Boston Business Journal that is not the reason for its request.

Area residents consider solar power
By Craig Moorhead
, Government/Sports Writer
Monday, April 29, 2013 3:29 AM
Brian Lavelle holds a "solar pathfinder" which is used to discover if a location gets enough sunlight to produce adequate energy.
Bob Dahse explains site selection considerations for solar energy during a special program on Saturday, April 13, in Houston County's Black Hammer Township.
"You've got to put your panel where the sun is," presenter Bob Dahse told a group of local residents investigating solar energy. "It's especially important to get good sunshine in the middle of the day."
According to Dahse and co-presenter Larisa Walk, if you can do that, just about anything is possible.
Dahse and Walk of rural Winona have generated their own solar electricity for approximately 30 years. On Saturday, April 13, they gave a free "solar workshop" at the home of Brian and Ruth Lavelle in Houston County's Black Hammer Township. The session was actually a follow-up to an initial meeting held last winter at the Houston Nature Center.
Solar panels produce direct current, with a typical installation combining the output of a number of panels, which are in turn made up of individual cells. The cells are actually diodes, Dahse said. The power is routed to a charge controller, which sends it on to a battery bank. Once that is charged up, the system can be put to work. Power inverters can change the output coming from the batteries to alternating current.
"Personally, I'm planning to build a ground-mounted 3 kW system," Brian explained beforehand. "It will be a battery stored stand-alone system. We'll run small loads on our closed system; even as we continue to maintain our Tri-County Electric account. The ultimate goal here is to build to a big enough size to cut the ties with Tri County."
For those who want to live off-grid, energy efficient 12-volt appliances are available for the camper/trucker marketplace, Lavelle noted. That's a simple way for 12-volt users to find just about anything they need. If you feel the need for AC power, inverters will convert electricity from the DC battery, but not without a loss of energy.
Dahse advocated mounting solar panels on ground racks, since maintaining roof mounted equipment is often a challenge. Users need to clear snow and collected leaves from their panels, since that severely limits power production. Surprisingly, photovoltaic cells produce power "quite well" on cloudy days, he added.
"Right now solar panels are more affordable than they've ever been," Lavelle said.
Dahse recommended buying from established photovoltaic (PV) suppliers, many of whom offer 30-year warranties on single and multi-crystal PV panels.
"There are people I know that have panels that were installed in the '80s that are still running fine," he said.
With over 200 suppliers making solar panels, there are a huge number to choose from. Dahse said one way of sorting through all the offerings is to look for manufacturers who have been in the business for a number of years.
"It makes sense to buy from a company that's been around for a while," he stated. "The tried and true stuff is so cheap right now; it really doesn't make sense to experiment a lot."
"Machinists used to say that the lathe was the only thing that can re-make itself . . . Now we have PV manufacturers using their own panels to power up their factories."
Walk said that with an unlimited bank account, a large enough PV system can be designed to power just about anything. For practical purposes, however, solar users should take the time to decide how much power they really need.
"I usually tell people to do an 'electrical Sabbath,'" she said. "Pick a day, a week, or better yet, a month. Unplug everything, shut off the breakers to the house, and re-evaluate your life. What is it I really need? Do I really need all this stuff? Or, do I really just need that light in the kitchen and to be able to cook? Do I need that big of a TV? Step back and evaluate everything, saying, 'These are the things I really want power for."
You may need to shed that electric dryer and the old freezer that runs all the time, Lavelle added.
Dahse added, "We had a 12-inch black and white TV in the old days that used twice as much power (50 watts) as our 24-inch LED television does now."
Walk agreed, "Sometimes it makes sense to replace something like a television rather than power it with solar. Look over the appliances that are on the market now. Some are much more efficient."
Once a person knows what their needs are, a system can be designed around them. That's when the question of siting crops up. As Dahse said at the beginning of his talk, getting unobstructed sunlight is the key. Another consideration is locating where it's easy to keep the panels clean and, in certain installations, make summer/winter changes to the angle of the array. Finally, make sure your site is acceptable from an aesthetic viewpoint.
"You don't want to be looking into the backs of ground mounted solar panels when you look out your front window..." he said. "But your installation doesn't have to be something that's ugly or obtrusive."
Dahse produced a small tool called a "solar pathfinder" that can quickly evaluate the amount of solar radiation that a given site will provide. The unit contains a compass to align its north-south axis. After leveling, a user peers at a grid work that shows the sun angles at different times of year. The simple look has another ingenious aspect. The glass dome that covers it reflects obstructions such as nearby trees or hillsides over the grid, making it easy to determine exactly how many hours of sunlight are available, and the path of the sun through the sky over the site.
"I'll help anyone in my neighborhood run a pathfinder," Lavelle said. "We're not doing this to make money. I may not be able to do too much to help others, but at least I can lend some moral support."
As far as solar power, "It's not so much of a money saving thing as it is a way to protect the environment," he added. "I want to live with a small footprint and when you look at all the schemes and dreams, photovoltaic has the best amount of energy returned for energy invested."
Lavelle continued, "You may need to somewhat dial down your living in terms of electrical use to accommodate it, but it's as cheap as it's ever been... If you think you're going to live for 15 to 20 years, you're never going to buy into cheaper power."
Dahse and Walk are offering the workshops free of charge with no other motivation than helping others find out how they can make a difference, Lavelle stated.
"The biggest motivation for me is being threatened by all the sand mining pipe dreams that we have going on," he added. "I fully understand that we're not going to drill our way out of our energy problems. And if you don't want to have a sand mine right next to you, this is what you need to do."
"Japan is pushing for more solar power to eliminate their reliance on nuclear power plants," Dahse said. "Germany has been making a major effort as well... One day, last year, a third of the country was working on solar power. That's taking into account that Germany is a heavily industrialized country."

text: The Jerusalem Prayer Team with Dr. Michael D. Evans exists to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem." We pray for peace in Jerusalem because the Scriptures tell us to in Psalm 122:6. Also, the Great Commission proclaims that we would be a witness unto Him in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. Praying for peace and protection for those who are experiencing the same type of terror that was experienced in America on September 11, 2001 is a practical way to be a witness to our world. The Jerusalem Prayer Team was inspired from the 100-year long prayer meeting for the restoration of Israel held in the Ten Boom family home in Haarlem, Holland. To see their incredible story of love, courage and sacrifice for God's chosen people - sheltering and saving over 800 Jews in the Hiding Place during WWII from Nazi death camps, visit tenboom.com. Their prayer meeting continued until the day they were betrayed to the Nazis. But their prayers continue to rise up to heaven worldwide through the Jerusalem Prayer Team.

School District Kicks Off Fundraiser to Replace Burned Playgrounds
SACRAMENTO -- After an arsonist damaged two playgrounds at local area schools the district is kicking off a fundraiser today to get those playgrounds restored. The arsons were part of a three school melee of fire in the month of July. The suspected fire-starter is now under arrest, but the damage is done. Playground equipment at Caroline Wenzel and John Sloat Elementary schools need replacing. And the district needs $50,000 to pay their insurance deductable.
Gabe Ross, with the district says that all of the money has to come from the general fund. Much has been made of budget issues in the past few years, so every dollar that goes to rebuilding the playgrounds has to come from somewhere else -- another program or service.
The district held their fundraiser kick off at Wenzel on Tuesday morning to raise the money through their non-profit education foundation. Sacramento City Councilman Steve Cohn kicked off the drive with a $1,000 donation.

Stimulus Package Solutions
Innovation, capital allocation, investment in future technologies, education, labour for all, institutional progress, banking
Basic reasons of the Economic World Crisis 2009 ... 2011++
Relative market saturation in industrialized countries.
Significant parts of the world are unable to win the battle against poverty: Political instability and/or lack of school education and/or lack of institutional infrastructure.
Significant capital generation by raw materials, especially petrol, since approx. 1975, in countries without productive investment opportunities..
Permissive regulations for financial markets, casino style, neutralizing this capital flow by absorbing it: Mostly transformation into consumption-type pseudo- investment and into long-term losses, e.g. by investing it into subprime loans for housing in the US.
Huge annual spending deficit in the US, not any more to absorb by this permanent transformation.
The growing US spending deficit is due to a unique historical situation: The US fulfills worldwide mostly respected empire functions without being financed by empire partners for these functions, and without wanting colonies. - Reminder: The Russian empire function had collapsed in 1990 after having subsidized for decades in a similar manner the empire function. (Russias financial exchange balance with its "colonies" had turned into deficit since approximately 1965).
Europe: High unemployment rates of persons excluded permanently from labour, due to "welfare state" politics during 4 decades. Due to this, there is significant accumulation of public debt, since 2009 close to the risk of bankruptcy for same European nations.
This list shows: The economic crisis 2008...2011++ is not just some further temporary recession. It is the point where the economic system of many nations and of the world will have to change significantly. Remedies like rapid superficial stimulus packages can only hide for a small additional time the need for basic changes.
This is no free idea service for money makers in public organizations
The following specification is sufficient to enable some understanding of the required steps.
It is intentionally left without sufficient details for application.
If more information is wanted, a payment suggestion should be send to: ok @ vox7.com
List of recommended economic stimulus politics.
In wealthy countries,
market saturation is the underlying problem. This historical crisis type typically ends by significant technological advances, creating new needs and new markets. This move requires to stop subsidy distribution by bureaucrates and by their usual "amigo" distribution concept. Totally different subsidy distribution concepts are required, to make sure that innovators get the money, instead of "amigos". - More information on request: ok @ vox7.com
In many wealthy countries,
welfare politics have generated a significant percentage of persons excluded permanently from the access to labour. This can only end within months by some kind of a national contract between government and entrepreneurs. This is the "Vox Concept" - more information on request: ok @ vox7.com
The financial system should not be protected but should shrink. Traditional industries like car manufacturers should get aid to shrink, not taxpayers' aid to maintain their current production volume.
Countries with insufficient living standard level:
Wealth is normally the result of a combination of the following: Political stability with some kind of citizen participation, a coherent legal system, experienced and controlled institutions, good educational level of the masses, at least 10 % with higher professional education, high freedom level, health service and a retirement scheme for the masses. In all countries below the world average wealth level, at least several of these condition are not fulfilled. In very poor countries, mostly all of these conditions are not fulfilled. The best economic stimulus package for less wealthy countries is fast progress towards a modern institutional level. This is typically not a financial problem. - More information on request: ok @ vox7.com

LONDON (Reuters) - The Independent Police Complaints Commission said on Friday it would meet the chief constable of Kent to discuss his force's handling of an environmental protest at a power station.
Lawyers for Camp for Climate Action say policing of a protest at Kingsnorth near Ashford in Kent last October was "unlawful, repressive and disproportionate."
They said police had used sleep deprivation and psychological tactics against the environmentalists, including playing loud recordings of Richard Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries" and the Clash hit "I Fought the Law and the Law Won."
The camp was held to protest at plans by German energy company E.ON to replace its existing 1,940 megawatt coal-fired-plant at the site with what it says will be cleaner coal units.
"No Climate Camp protester has ever been convicted of any violent offence," the lawyers said in a dossier launched by the Liberal Democrats.
"Yet the Climate Camp continues to experience disproportionate and repressive policing, and seems to be being targeted by the police as single-issue domestic extremism."
The Liberal Democrats called for a public inquiry into the police tactics.
"What happened at the Climate Camp was deeply disturbing and part of what seems to be a disturbing national trend," said the party's justice spokesman, David Howarth.
Kent Chief Constable Michael Fuller said he had voluntarily referred the dossier to the IPCC.
"This document makes a number of allegations. Kent Police's policy has always been to be open and transparent in everything we do and this will be no different," he said
"If we find officers have failed to meet the very high standards we expect, then we will act."
The IPCC said it was waiting for further information and would meet Fuller next week.
