Im 16 and have phimosis I think. I live in USA but was born in Wales. My penis is pretty normal I think, it is around 6.5 inches and I am Uncut.. But my foreskin goes about an nch past my head of my penis, which I have never really seen. When it is soft,I can pull the skin back and almost see the tip of my head,but the skin that I pull back looks inda weird and bumpy. When it is hard,it is pretty much the same thing I can almost see the head and the skin is weird and bumpy. But sometimesI can see the top of my head and is is super sensetive. And I'm worried cause this girl I am going to date soon, has had sex with two guys prior, and I'm assuming they were cut. Will she find it weird to see an uncut kid, and one with phimosis. And how would getting a blow job and having sex feel like to me and her? And ive been doing the finger stretching for like 4-5 weeks now. I can post pictures if they would help.

Brasília (AFP) - Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi hit out at American referee Mark Geiger after his side lost 2-0 to France in the World Cup last 16 in Brasilia on Monday.
"The referee is a human being and is bound to make mistakes, but a lot of mistakes is questionable," Keshi told his post-match press conference at the Mane Garrincha National Stadium. "I'm not happy with the officiating."
Keshi was aggrieved that Emmanuel Emenike had a first-half goal ruled out for offside, although replays suggested the call was correct, and also felt France had been allowed to get away with over-zealous tackling.
Blaise Matuidi was only booked for an ugly challenge on Ogenyi Onazi that ended the Nigerian midfielder's game, while Olivier Giroud escaped punishment after appearing to catch John Mikel Obi with his elbow.
"If you look at the goal we scored, there was no infringement. On two occasions Onazi received very bad tackles and nothing was done about it. He is out now probably for weeks," Keshi added.
"This is the first time I've spoken about the referee in my life, because it wasn't good."
After a hard-fought game in Brasilia, France prevailed through a 79th-minute Paul Pogba header and an injury-time own goal by Joseph Yobo.
They will face either Germany or Algeria in the quarter-finals.
Pogba headed the ball into an empty net after Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama failed to claim a Mathieu Valbuena corner and Keshi admitted that it had been a costly error by the usually dependable Lille player.
"It's only him that knows the reason he parried the ball rather than punched the ball," Keshi said.
"I was a long way away from where has. It was his decision. What happened, happened, and it cost us big."
France coach Didier Deschamps said that victory was his side's reward for not losing heart.
"The game lasts 90 minutes," said the former Marseille coach.
"Nigeria played the game we expected, with lots of physical intensity, and we had to respond to that. We can always start better, but we finished well."
- Deschamps 'very proud' -
France's victory continues a journey that began when they fought back to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit in their qualifying play-off with Ukraine in November.
Asked if France's qualification for the last eight meant that their tournament could already be considered a success, Deschamps replied: "At least it's not a failure.
"We had objectives, which went up after each match -- reach the last 16, finish top (of the group). Today it was to reach the quarter-finals.
"From what we've been through, to be here among the last eight shows something. But we won't get carried away.
"I'm very proud of the players. But the adversity will increase. It's another step and we'll do everything to climb that."
Deschamps was reluctant to be drawn into a debate about the referee.
"There are situations in a match where the referee makes decisions," he said.
"When they go against you, it's easier to talk about them. But you have to accept it. Could certain things have been sanctioned more firmly? It depends on what side of the fence you are."
Deschamps also praised goal-scorer Pogba, whose place in the team had come under threat from Moussa Sissoko after some mixed displays in the group phase.
"He's young, and criticism is part of the life of a top-level footballer," Deschamps said of the 21-year-old Juventus midfielder.
"It can be hard, it can be unjust, but it will toughen him up. Tonight he proved he has great, great potential by being a bit more straightforward in his play. I had no doubts about his capacity to be up to this level."

The University of Nevada and Fresno State both accepted invitations to join the Mountain West Conference on Wednesday night. The schools announced their plans at concurrent press conferences.
The Mountain West extended the offers amid reports that Brigham Young is considering leaving the Mountain West to become an independent in football and play all other sports within the WAC. The school has not confirmed those reports, saying in a statement only that it is weighing all options.
Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson said BYU was still part of the conference and the school participated in several conference calls as the league was going through the process of adding Fresno State and Nevada.
Thompson said the decision to offer the invitations were more part of television revenues than the desire to influence BYU's decision about whether it would leave the league.
"We're simply looking at getting better and we got better tonight with Fresno State and Nevada joining our league," Thompson said in a conference call.
Plans for when Fresno State and Nevada would enter the Mountain West are uncertain. Both schools were hopeful of joining by the 2011 football season.
Nevada president Milt Glick was excited about the move.
"I think it's extraordinary," Glick said. "I think people have been waiting a long time for this day. ... It really is a game-changer for us. This is a momentous day for the University of Nevada."
Leaving the WAC will be costly for Nevada and Fresno State. According to the Las Vegas Sun, the league schools agreed a week ago to sign a five-year agreement that would force leaving members to pay a $5 million buyout.
Fresno State school president John Welty acknowledged signing the buyout and the $5 million figure of what's owed.
"We're going to have to work out the specifics and the amounts, and that's one of the things that has yet to be resolved," Welty said. "We are going to realize additional revenue. Over a period of time we will finance the buyout. At the same time, we will save some costs."
The Reno Gazette Journal reported that Nevada was the lone school that did not sign the agreement, citing to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. However, Glick didn't not clarify if the school signed the agreement.
Both Welty and Glick cited cost savings from travel and additional revenue from joining the Mountain West as ways the schools would manage the financial implications of the move.
Thompson also pledged assistance to the schools with regard to the exit and entrance fees required.
The additions alter the landscape for the Mountain West, which loses Utah to the Pac-10 next season in addition to the possible departure of BYU. Earlier this summer, Boise State announced plans to join the conference.
Should BYU leave, the additions of Fresno State and Nevada would grow the league to 10 teams. Nevada and Fresno State's moves would also hurt BYU's move to football independence and the WAC for other sports.
The WAC is now reduced to six schools - Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State and Utah State. Eight schools are required to be considered a football conference. As a result, it is possible that BYU could explore joining the West Coast Conference for all non-football sports.

Physical exercise has been demonstrated to be neuroprotective in both clinical and laboratory settings. However, the exact mechanism underlying this effect is unclear. Our study aimed to investigate whether pre-ischemic treadmill training could serve as a form of ischemic preconditioning in a rat model undergoing middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Thirty-six rats were divided into three groups: a sham control group, a non-exercise with operation group and an exercise with operation group. After treadmill training, ischemia was induced by occluding the MCA for 2 h, followed by reperfusion. Half of the rats in each group were sacrificed for mRNA detection of
Ischemic stroke causes devastating complications that result in a significant burden for the entire society [
Excessive release of glutamate after a stroke has been shown to lead to neuronal excitotoxicity and subsequent brain damage [
Animals were divided into a sham group, an exercise with operation group and a non-exercise with operation group. There were no significant differences observed in paO2 (partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood), paCO2 (partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery), or pH (hydrogen ion concentration) values between the sham, non-exercise with stroke and exercise with stroke groups before and after MCAO (
Extracts from the striatum of the treated rats and sham controls (from rats decapitated 80 min after occlusion) were subjected to quantitative real-time PCR analysis.
In regard to
Rats in the sham group, exercise with operation group and non-exercise with operation group, were evaluated 24 h after reperfusion. In the sham control group, none of the rats demonstrated neurological symptoms. In contrast, there was a significant difference in behavior scores between the exercise with operation and the non-exercise with operation groups (P < 0.05), as shown in
After behavioral evaluation, 18 rats were sacrificed to determine the infarct volume. None of the rats in the sham control group exhibited ischemic areas. In contrast, there was a significant difference in infarct volume between the exercise with operation and the non-exercise with operation groups (P < 0.05), as indicated in
The glutamatergic system plays a key role in normal cerebral function and regulates the activity of glutamate, the most abundant neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), as well as ionotropic NMDA, AMPA and KA (kainic acid) receptors and metabotropic G protein-coupled receptors [
According to previous studies, group I
Other studies examining ionotropic NMDA receptors have implicated these ion channels in the induction of ischemic tolerance both
Therefore, it seems that a drug that can influence NMDA-type glutamate receptors could be utilized to treat ischemic stroke. However, the development of NMDA receptor-specific drugs has been hindered by their serious side effects observed in clinical trials [
According to a previous study, both two-week and four-week pre-ischemic training could decrease the infarction volume and cerebral edema after MCAO [
In our previous study, we demonstrated that four weeks of treadmill training could down-regulate the excessive release of glutamate after ischemic stroke [
These experiments were performed according to the guidelines of the National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Thirty-six healthy male Sprague–Dawley rats (weighing 250–300 g) were provided by the Shanghai Laboratory Animal Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The rats were housed separately under a 12:12-h light/dark cycle with water and food available
Rats were randomly divided into three groups: a sham control group, an exercise with operation group and a non-exercise with operation group (12 rats in each group). The rats in the exercise group exercised at a speed of 6–9 m/min for 20 min per day to adapt to the running exercise. After that, the rats began formal training on an electric treadmill machine (DSPT-202 Type 5-Lane Treadmill; Litai Biotechnology Co., Ltd, China) over a period of four weeks. The formal training included a 25 m/min pace at a slope of 0° for 30 min/day, six days per week. The rats in the sham control group and non-exercise with operation group were housed freely in their cages for four weeks.
The protocol for our animal study was approved by the Animal Experimental Committee of Fudan, University at Shanghai, China. All rats were anesthetized intraperitoneally with chloral hydrate (10%) at a dose of 400 mg/kg. The body temperature was maintained by a heating pad. The rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was conducted according to the Zea
Half of the rats in each group were scored 24 h after reperfusion on a 5-point scale based on the report of Zea
After evaluation for behavioral scores, animals were anesthetized with chloral hydrate (10%). The whole brain was removed as quickly as possible and placed at −20 °C for 10 min. The brain tissue was divided into six 2-mm stions in a coronal plane. The first stion was positioned at the middle line between the anterior pole and the optic chiasm. Afterwards, stions were simultaneously immersed in a 2% TTC (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride) solution (37 °C) for 30 min, followed by a 4% paraformaldehyde buffer for fixation. After 24 h, all stions were photographed using a digital camera (DC240; Kodak, USA). Imaging software (Adobe Photoshop 7.0) was employed to evaluate the infarction volume (pink areas were normal and pale areas implied ischemia). The total infarction volume was calculated as the sum of the infarct areas from each stion. In order to minimize the error introduced by edema, we used an indirect method to calculate the infarct volumes [
Half of the rats in each group were sacrificed 80 min after occlusion, and their brains were rapidly removed. The striatum was isolated and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until the next step.
Stored tissue was homogenized with Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for extraction of total RNA in accordance with the manufacturer's protocol. Subsequently, a High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems) was used to complete the reverse transcription. Each tube contained a 20 μL reaction volume, which included 0.6 μg of total RNA (10 μL), 2 μL 10× RT buffer, 0.8 μL of 25× dNTP (100 mM), 2 μL 10× RT Random Primers and 50 units of MultiScribeTM Reverse Transcriptase. Tubes were heated for 10 min at 25 °C, 2 h at 37 °C and 5 s at 85 °C. The samples were stored at −20 °C until PCR amplification.
Gene-specific primers (sequences in
The reaction settings were as follows: 1 cycle at 50 °C (2 min), 1 cycle at 95 °C (10 min) and 40 cycles of 95 °C for 15 s and 60 °C for 1 min. Cycle threshold values were selected based on the linear range from log scaling and the baseline. The 20 μL reaction contained 2 μL of cDNA, 300 nM of each primer and 10 μL of SYBR® Green PCR Master Mix, which included AmpliTaq Gold DNA polymerase. Sequence Detector software (SDS version 1.6, Applied Biosystems) was used for detecting SYBR Green reporter dye fluorescence. The relative change in the mRNA expression of the NR2B and mGluR5 following MCAO was calculated by the following equation [
Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS for Windows, version 11.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL). Differences in relative mRNA expression among the groups were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA followed by a post-hoc Tamhane multiple comparison test to compare the three groups (

The Reeperbahn festival is the largest and most important festival for the music industry in Germany. It was founded in 2006 by Alexander Schulz who had been inspired by SXSW and decided he was going to set up a festival with no headliners.
It was a bumpy start, the first year they were expecting 50,000 visitors and got 8,000. Rather than give up they went back and reassessed the figures. Since then the festival has grown year on year has now branched out into arts and literature. 'Now people have started to believe in the brand, we're selling tickets before the line-up is announced' Alexander told us. This reputation for quality has turned the festival into a showcase event with music export offices around the globe sending their latest talents to perform. The diversification into other areas has allowed the festival to grow further but Alexander is keen to keep music at its heart, 'Everything at the festival is connected to music in someway, it crawls through everything we do' he told us.
Reeperbahn festival is on 20th – 22nd September, check it out here.

Attached is the latest edition of the New York Fed's Second District Highlights, entitled Earnings Inequality: New York-New Jersey Region.
Authors David Brauer, Beethika Khan, and Elizabeth Miranda examine the earnings gap between upper income workers and lower income workers in the New York-New Jersey region during the 1979-96 period.
The authors find that the region's inequality trends have largely followed the nation's. Among year-round, full-time workers--both men and women--earnings inequality has increased nearly 50 percent over the past two decades. This widening is due to divergent trends in earnings growth near the top and bottom of the earnings distribution: while workers near the top have consistently realized earnings gains, many workers near the bottom have incurred earnings losses, even during periods of economic growth.
The authors' research also shows that:
In the first half of the 1990s, the earnings gap grew at a faster rate in the region than in the nation, with the most rapid rise occurring in the New York City metropolitan area. This rise was partly due to the area's severe economic downturn of the early 1990s, which caused workers at the bottom end of the spectrum to experience disproportionately large earnings losses. At the same time, the earnings of workers at the top end increased steadily, mainly because of the strong performance of the high-paying financial services sector.
In the region, during the 1979-96 period, the real earnings of male workers at the 90th percentile climbed 26 percent (from $63,700 to $80,000), while those of female workers increased 37 percent (from $39,300 to $54,000). Earnings for male and female workers at the 10th percentile fell 21 percent (from $19,000 to $15,000) and 7 percent (from $13,200 to $12,300,) respectively.
The region's strong performance in recent years and its favorable job developments will likely boost earnings at both ends of the distribution. Continued strong growth near the top, however, could keep the gap from narrowing significantly.

Modernity and Christianity: Like Oil and Water? Part 2In my immediately preceding post, part 1 of this series, I mentioned that I view modernity as a "blik"—a fundamental perspective, a way of seeing the world "as," a world view. Of course, it is also a cultural "Zeitgeist," a "spirit of the age," a collection of socio-cultural habits shared by people and societies. I talked about how some Christians view Christianity and modernity as like oil and water—incapable of integration. That's true o … [Read more...]

First Monday Luncheon - Chicago
Please join Dean Michael Schill and University of Chicago Law School alumni at the annual First Monday Luncheon to discuss issues currently facing the United States Supreme Court.
"Sick and Tired?: The Supreme Court's New Old Federalism"
presented by Professor Alison LaCroix
Monday, October 1, 2012
The Standard Club
320 South Plymouth Court
Chicago, Illinois 60604
Buffet Luncheon: 12 noon
Program: 12:30 p.m.
From the scores of briefs to the extended oral arguments to the widely watched announcement of the Supreme Court's decision in June, the case of National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius – more commonly known as the healthcare case – has received unprecedented attention from the media, politicians, and the general public. In upholding most provisions of the legislation under Congress's taxing power but striking down a key section as beyond the scope of the spending power, the Court's decision has been viewed by commentators as, variously, a return to meaningful limits on Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce, a repudiation of the New Deal constitutional settlement, an affirmation of that settlement, and an act of judicial statesmanship by Chief Justice John Roberts. But just how significant of a change does the decision portend – in institutions, doctrine, and federalism itself? The talk will situate the healthcare decision in constitutional history, consider trends in the Court's federalism case law, and speculate about the future direction of the doctrine.
The luncheon cost is $25. Recent graduates from the classes of 2003-2012 receive a discounted rate of $15.

text: Thank you for taking time to read my thread. Here is the thing. I have a 90 535i with 234k on it. Just recently i got my alternator replaced and my starter less than a year ago as well as my battery. So i get out of my class today and get in my car and put the key in the ignition to start it up and nothing happens. All the electronic signs are good. Then i do it again and again and again and again and nothing happens. I then tap the gas pedal and turn the key and i hear the starter wanting to crank but nothing happens. Then i do it again and the car finally turns over. When i drive it down the road all of my vitial signs like electronic are good. I get home let it sit there and turn it off. Wait a couple of seconds and turn it on and it starts right up. So i turn it off and try it again and it doesnt want to start. Now i know this should not do it but what could it be cause the starter has not done this at all. It just started this the other day.

For Simmons, the opener represented both his first shutout and first complete game of the season. An All-American with a 16-1 mark during last years national championship run, Simmons has struggled to regain his 2002 form. On Friday, the junior tossed a four-hitter and fanned five to even his mark at 5-5.
"Simmons has been a big game pitcher for us," Augie Garrido said. "He has been very effective in the last two games. Coming into this game, he pitched tonight like he did in the Big 12s and has been throwing the ball well. With tonights game being his 10th start, he is still throwing at a high level."
The Horns scored six of their runs with two out and had six of their seven hits go for extra bases. Dustin Majewski, who entered the game with a team-leading .392 batting average, paced the offense with a home run and a double in three at bats to go along with three runs scored. Eric Sultemeier drove in two runs and scored two more behind a pair of hits while Joe Ferin extended his hitting streak to a team-best 18 games with his fourth home run of the season.
Texas quickly took the early lead in the bottom of the first when Sultemeier delivered his ninth homer of the year over the left center field wall to plate Majewski and to score all the runs the home team would need at 2-0. Two innings later, Majewski connected on a solo round-tripper with two away to put Texas up 3-0. Ferins solo shot, plus an unearned run, pushed the advantage to 5-0 in the bottom of the fourth.
Simmons retired nine in a row heading into the bottom of the fifth when Seth Johnston tripled home a pair of runs to complete the scoring at 7-0. Both squads put runners on base during the final four frames, but Simmons allowed only two hits during that span and then retired the side in the top of the ninth to close out the win.
Starting pitcher Kevin Miller took the loss for Bucknell after throwing seven innings and striking out three.
With an enrollment of 3,550, Bucknell (Lewisburg, PA) has fewer students than some UT English classes. The Bison advanced to their third-ever NCAA Regional by claiming the Patriot League tournament.

The behind-the-scenes work of a municipality's staff and administration is often overlooked when candidates offer themselves for office.
How new municipal politicians interact and work with the town's or city's workers, however, is a large part of getting the work done.
The Western Star decided to go straight to the managers, present and past, to get their thoughts on work with councils.
Staff, council rely on each other: Dolter
By Gary Kean
Star Staff Writer
CORNER BROOK Mike Dolter says the relationship between an elected municipal council and that city or town's hired staff is a symbiotic one.
Next month, the chief administrative officer for the City of Corner Brook will begin working with the fourth edition of city council since he was hired in 2005.
He said it is crucial that everyone understands the intricacies of the council-staff relationship.
"It's really important for council to support the staff in their efforts to get things done and bring ideas forward," said Dolter. "Equally, it's important for the staff to be prepared to work through and help support the vision of the council."
Realities, like fiscal responsibility, can step in-between a council's vision and the work staff can carry out. The role of the staff is to come up with the best information possible so that council can make the best decisions. Once those decisions are made, it is staff's duty to implement them.
"There may be some disagreements along the way but, once council says 'This is the way we want to go,' then we support that 100 per cent," said Dolter.
As CAO, it is Dolter's duty to ensure council's direction is carried out by the staff who answer to him. The burden gets shifted back to council when critical issues have to be decided on along the way.
Managers like Dolter are also conduits of change when it comes to identifying where and how municipal policies and guidelines can be improved.
In terms of continuity from one council to the next, Dolter said it is not his job to teach rookie council members how to be politicians. What often happens, he said, is the experienced councillors tend to mentor the greener ones.
What management does do is bring the new council up to date on what has been happening and what is expected of them in the council-staff relationship.
The staff is always available to answer any questions anyone on council may have on any given day during their term of office.
"We try to give them an answer as quickly as we can, depending on how complex the question is," said Dolter.
Managers must work within act, says Campbell
By Frank Gale
Star Staff Writer
STEPHENVILLE As the municipal election approaches, Mike Campbell, Stephenville town manager, said the key to a successful relationship between town staff and elected officials is respect and appreciation of their roles and the responsibility of the group as a whole.
"This has to come from within," Campbell said.
In terms of how he sees his role as a town manager between council and himself, he said his duties are outlined in the Municipalities Act and there is no discretion on them.
The manager is also responsible for the administration and implementation of council policy, also with no discretion, he said.
Campbell said that takes care of the regulatory material and beyond that the manager keeps the council up to date on the business activity within the town office, such as the town's financial position at any given time, the condition of the town's infrastructure, progress reports on approved capital purchases and infrastructure projects, identifying economic development opportunities and making recommendations to council on a wide range of issues.
"In a nutshell, town managers ensure the town office is administered in compliance with the Municipalities Act and council policy and we are accountable for the efficient operation of all town resources," he said.
Campbell said even though town councils change every four years, the continuity of services is accomplished by working within the framework of the Municipalities Act and by applying the policy of council consistently, and without discretion.
"This can be challenging at times, but it's where our authority lies," he said.
Trust important: former town manager
By Diane Crocker
Star Staff Writer
STEADY BROOK Rob Gosse says the role of a municipal council is to set policy and the role of staff is to manage the community according to that policy.
Gosse, the former manager of the Town of Steady Brook, said in the relationship between the two, it's important to separate policy from administration. Once the roles are clear then Gosse said each side has to put trust in the other to carry out their respective roles.
"It starts with trusting the experience that the staff and the management have," he said. "The people that are hired are hired because of their knowledge and expertise, and they learn that over time."
He said when it comes to the running of the community, whether it's the chief administrative officer of a city, town manager or department head, most decisions that are made are done for a reason.
"That's where the knowledge of the staff comes in," he said.
He also said it's important to look at the facts in making decisions; otherwise you'll run into problems.
"If you make decisions from the facts rather than from your opinion — or from what the resident wants or from what the individual councillor wants — usually you're going to make the right decision."
If the roles are not clearly defined and the trust is not there, then Gosse, who left the town amid some legal controversy after eight years last May, said this can lead to tension. Gosse said he's known a lot of administrators over the years, and stress is very common among them and part of the reason he left his role as town manager.
"A lot of tension and stress comes from councillors, not all, but some councillors not understanding their role," he said. "They come in and they want to micro-manage the staff and micro-manage the business."
Gosse said there needs to be an education process to foster a great working relationship and establish boundaries. Something he used to do with new councillors was set up orientation sessions to explain how things are done, what is expected, the legislation, finances and budgets.
"I think that has to be done in every community," he said. "They need to set up an orientation with the senior management and start off on the right foot."
It's all about communication, says Deer Lake town manager
By Paul Hutchings
Star Staff Writer
DEER LAKE Like with any job, the role of a town administrator is all about communication, says Maxine Hayden.
The current Deer Lake town manager has had to deal with several different councils and members of the public a lot in her 30-plus years with the Town of Deer Lake. She's been town manager since 2009, stepping up from the town clerk's position, and she says she's learned a thing or two about municipal politics.
"Communication between town workers and elected officials is key," she said.
"You have to know what staff should be doing and let employees do the job they were hired to do and carry out their day-to-day duties."
Hayden has seen some bad days. Things happen in western Newfoundland's unpredictable weather and in the dead of winter, when water lines either freeze or break and equipment breaks down, calls come in. Co-ordinating a response time properly and quickly is crucial.
"If someone has a flooded basement and it's filling up, five minutes can seem like an hour (to a homeowner)," she said.
"There are no after-hours here; it's something we're always thinking of."
With the municipal election coming up Sept. 24, Hayden said there may be some changes to council but fundamentally everything will remain the same.
That's because of the Municipalities Act that states the town budget has to be balanced, revenue still needs to be collected and regulations still need to be enforced.
At the end of the day, she said, her orders come from council, current term or future term.
"If there are regrets, I have to move forward," she said. "I answer to council. If they give me an order, whether I agree or not, it's what I have to do."

When President Obama announced his recess appointments last week, Republicans were not only outraged by the White House's move on political grounds, they also argued that the appointments were in conflict with the law. As the GOP sees it, so long as lawmakers maintained sham sessions, Congress wasn't technically in "recess," so recess appointments weren't an option.
Republicans demanded a legal analysis from the Office of Legal Counsel. As it turns out, the OLC had already examined the issue, though I rather doubt Republicans will like what the officials came up with. (The OLC advises the executive branch on whether an administration's efforts are legally permissible or not.)
In this case, Assistant Attorney General Virginia Seitz wrote a 23-page OLC opinion on the recess appointments, and as Adam Serwer explained, the office's attorneys were unmoved by the "pro-forma" charade.

santa maria nouvella came up three separate times yesterday, so i thought to myself i have to do a friday favorites post on it. actually, i'm surprised i haven't already because i've been wearing their cologne for 20 years, so yes, i guess i have a scent, and i've been told i always smell good!
my cologne of choice is their scent pot pourri. i love the scent so much i have little terracotta pots in my office filled with their dried pot pourri, it comes in a chic little round metal container. and speaking of chic, i love their little navy silk pot pourri sachets. i have them in all the cars, some people mistake them for snacks, but actually i think they just help spread my signature scent.
i can't believe the holiday are coming up, might want to add santa maria nouvella to your wish list or give as the perfect gift- spread my signature scent! and don't you just love the crest?!

Today I went to a pot-luck dinner held by one of the local tribes. Everyone loved my Cucumber and Orange Salad (the recipe for which appears at the end of the source for HTML::TreeBuilder); and I got to chow down on lots of local specialties, including wonderful nummy beach asparagus (which is a sea vegetable, not actual asparagus), and a few servings of cooked herring eggs on kelp, which has a neat al-dente texture.
Also, I actually saw ooligan oil in person for the first time. I thought it'd be like nam-plah, but instead it was like light gravy, except just a bit fishy smelling. I didn't feel compelled to try it tho.
Later, at home, I tried doing some interactive stuff with Flash, using the built-in quiz templates. Awful awful awful. Nightmarish.

This means more healthy school lunches for all kids, and that deserves a big thanks! - from 2 moms to all moms. Revolution Foods' ValuesRevolution Foods believes that healthy, fresh food service and responsible business practices go hand-in-hand. Revolution Foods is a company that creates positive social impact while minimizing environmental impact. The impact that Revolution Foods has on the communities it serves is based on their core company values: Access to healthy food creates change. Revolution Foods believes that children and families will make healthier choices if given access to better information and healthier, tasty, fresh food products. Better nutrition matters. Revolution Foods believes that healthy food choices are key drivers of wellness, education, and future productivity of our youth. Scale matters. Revolution Foods' goal is to impact as many students as possible. Dramatically improving access to healthier food options for students across the nation means engaging both major food suppliers and local farmers in their goals. Revolution Foods' Food PhilosophyRevolution Foods works hard to ensure that they are serving high quality, fresh and healthy food to their schools. To achieve this, Revolution Foods upholds strict food standards and openly disclose them to the communities they serve. Appealing and Delicious: Revolution Foods wants students to eat their food and to try new things. That's why they focus on making their meals tasty, fun and interactive. Variety: Revolution Foods thinks it's important to eat a variety of foods – a balance of lean protein, whole grains, healthy fats, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, and calcium/dairy. Natural and real: Natural to Revolution Foods means using real food, cooking with few ingredients, and making sure the ingredients they use are recognizable and not artificial. Home-style: Revolution Foods believes in eating foods that are close to their original state and avoiding unhealthily processed foods. Right-size, not super size: Revolution Foods offers age-appropriate portion sizes to support kids to maintain and grow into a healthy weight. Balance: Revolution Foods believes that to combat obesity, students should eat a balanced diet of fresh, whole foods that taste delicious and satisfy kids' hunger so they aren't forced to fill up with unhealthy snacks and junk food. Revolution Foods' Ingredient Standards (Never-Evers) NO rBST or hormones in milk. NO fried food. Revolution Foods does not even allow "flash-fried" products in their meals. NO high fructose corn syrup, ever. NO artificial trans fats, ever. NO artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. All ingredients meet Whole Foods Market's stringent quality standards. Revolution FoodsRevolution Foods began with a founding team who believed that all students should have access to healthy, fresh food on a daily basis. The co-founders of Revolution Foods (Kristin Richmond and Kirsten Tobey) met at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley and shared a vision of creating a social venture that would make this idea a daily reality for schools nationwide. It didn't hurt that they both loved great food as well! Having spent a large portion of their careers in education (including amongst the two of them teaching, building new schools, designing conservation programs, helping recruit outstanding teachers and more) they knew they needed to build Revolution Foods around the people that mattered most: the school communities they would serve. During the course of graduate school, Kristin Richmond and Kirsten Tobey interviewed teachers, students, families and school leaders from over 40 Bay Area schools. They built a key partnership with Whole Foods who believed in their mission of getting as much fresh, healthy food as they could to as many students as possible. Prior to launching, they also had the incredible fortune to meet their first hire, Executive Chef and partner extraordinaire, Amy Klein. Driven by their passion and supported by their families, friends and greater Bay Area community, Kristin Richmond and Kirsten Tobey launched Revolution Foods in the Summer of 2006. Every day since then has been rewarding, challenging and full of learning. Each time they talk to a Revolution Foods student who says, "hey, that brown rice is actually good" or "where does this cous cous come from?" they are reminded that the revolution has begun!

ABRAHAM meandered too much, and Jacob fell completely flat. Things started looking up with the epic Joseph, and now, with the brisk Moses under its belt, it would appear that 'The Bible Collection' has finally hit its stride.
And what a fast pace it is, too: Moses opens with a quick montage to show how this Hebrew came to grow up in the Egyptian palace and then it squeezes Exodus and Numbers into a mere three hours while skipping Leviticus and using just one or two chapters from Deuteronomy. (By way of comparison, it took seven hours for The Bible Collection's first three videos to cover 39 chapters of Genesis.)

Gallagher was pulled up on the stage at the Penthouse Club in Port Richmond, Pennsylvania to get the full-on bachelor treatment. Included in the festivities was a stripper pole, and when one of the girls "shimmied" down the rod and launched herself into Gallagher's lap, his bladder ruptured.

Penile Implant Surgery
Penile implant surgery is used in the treatment of impotence (erectile dysfunction). They can be very effective, but should be regarded as a treatment of last resort, to be used when other methods of treatment have failed.
This is because they have serious drawbacks and are irreversible. Once an implant has been put in, other methods of treatment will not work, even if the implant is removed.
There are two types of implant, the inflatable implant and the malleable (or semi-rigid implant).
Inflatable implants
The inflatable implant consists of two cylinders which are implanted inside the penis. They are connected to a reservoir which is implanted into the abdominal cavity just above the pubic bone and a pump which is implanted into the scrotum. All the parts are beneath the skin and are hidden from view, although the tubing which connects the pieces of the implant can sometimes be seen beneath the skin in the scrotum.
When the penis is flaccid (not erect) the cylinders are empty and the reservoir is full of fluid (sterile water or saline solution). If the pump is activated, fluid flows out the reservoir and into the cylinders, producing an artificial erection. When the erection is no longer required, a valve in the pump is activated and fluid flows back into the reservoir.
How is the pump activated and de-activated?
The pump is activated by squeezing it through the skin of the scrotum. The number of squeezes varies from patient to patient, but is often in the order of 10-20 times. To deactivate the pump, a small button on the pump is squeezed and the cylinders in the penis empty. Sometimes it is necessary to squeeze the penis directly at the same time, so some manual dexterity is needed to do this.
Malleable implants
Malleable implants are much simpler. They consist of two rods which are inserted into the penis. The rods are made of a special material which holds its position. The rods can be bent to make it easier to conceal them, and straightened when an erection is required.
The operation
The operation is performed under a general anaesthetic, and takes between 40 and 90 minutes. In most cases the only incision which is needed is a small cut at the base of the penis, where it joins the scrotum. Some patients having an inflatable implant will need a further incision in the groin to insert the reservoir, but this is not always necessary.
Patients having an inflatable implant normally have a catheter tube inserted after the operation, and a small drainage tube coming out the scrotum. These are removed the day after surgery and patients go home on that day or the day after. These tubes are not always necessary after a malleable implant and most patients can go home the day after surgery.
Which implant should I choose?
There is no doubt that inflatable implants give a better cosmetic result, particularly when the penis is flaccid (not erect). However, they are sometimes awkward to use and some patients find them very difficult. They are not advisable for anyone who does not have full use of his hands and is not motivated to learn to use the implant properly. The results which can be obtained with malleable implants are perfectly acceptable for most patients.
Are there any complications of the operation?
The biggest complication is infection, which occurs in about one in 20 cases. If the implant gets infected it has to be removed. Although it may be possible to insert another implant later this is not always possible, so if infection occurs it is a serious problem. Antibiotics are given routinely and sterile precautions are always taken, but never the less the infection risk remains.
Some bruising and swelling can be expected after surgery. This may take a couple of weeks to settle down. Pain can be a problem after the operation, and whilst it isn't usually a major problem, there can be an ache which lasts for a few weeks.
Inflatable prostheses can undergo mechanical failure. This is rare but occurs in about 1 in 100 cases every year, so there is a one in 10 chance of failure in the first ten years after the operation. Usually the pump fails or the connecting tubing leaks. If this happens the implant can usually be replaced.
Occasionally malleable prosthesis can erode through the skin of the penis. This is rare.
Limitations of the operation
It is important to remember that these devices are not perfect.
The erection you will achieve with a prosthesis will not be as good as a natural erection, but it should be good enough for sexual activity. Most men will be able to have a normal orgasm (climax) afterwards but some men find that it is not possible.
Many men say the penis is not as large as it was before surgery. The shaft of the penis is normally restored to its previous length, but the glans of the penis (the head) is not enlarged by the operation. Furthermore the glans is sometimes relatively floppy, something which occasionally has to be corrected by further surgery. Patients who have suffered from Peyronie's disease (bent penis) should bear in mind that the disease itself may have caused penile shortening, and all men should be aware that implants cannot be used to increase penile length in any way.
A rough guide to the eventual length of the penis after surgery is to hold the glans (head) of the penis tightly and stretch the penis as forcibly as possible. This "stretched penile length" is a reasonably accurate guide too the eventual length of the penis after surgery.
Malleable implants do not increase in length when they are inflated, only in girth (width).
The appearance when flaccid is perhaps the biggest problem with implants, particularly after a malleable implant
Should I have a penile prosthesis?
This is a very personal decision. Before you decide, make sure you have exhausted all other methods of treatment for your erectile problems, as once you have the operation there is no going back. Make sure you realise the limitations of these devices. If you have considered these things, and you want to me able to have sexual intercourse again, then there is no reason why you should not go ahead.

The locale of the present study was near the geographic center of the blue racer's range.
Every man in the outfit was hard ez nails and slim ez a blue racer.
For the subspecies of racer involved in my field study the widely used vernacular "blue racer" has been adopted in this report.
On several occasions I have been led to a blue racer by the distressed croaking of a frog that the snake had captured.
A thrill ran through her as she realized that this was the blue racer.
The blue racer depends mostly on speed to escape its enemies.
The "hoop snake" was quite as authentic to us as the blue racer, although no one had actually seen one.
Notes on the young of the blue racer, Coluber constrictor flaviventris.
The blue racer seems well adapted to hunt voles and probably preys on them extensively.

Fox 23 News - Fake Weed a growing, dangerous trend
It looks just like marijuana and it's being smoked by teens and young adults hoping to get the same kind of high. But, what users don't realize is just how dangerous this form of "fake weed" can be.
"Some of these compounds are two to 800 times as potent as the THC levels that you would find in Marijuana," says Assistant Special Agent in Charge James Burns, with the Albany District Office for the US Drug Enforcement Administration.
So potent that reported side effects include a jump in blood pressure and heart rate, hallucinations and tremors strong enough to land you in the emergency room. US poison centers have received 112 calls since last year, 59 since March 1st alone. Even more frightening, the synthetic substance is legal....sold in head shops and on the internet as potpourri, under names like K2 or Spice.
"This is not a pharmaceutical type of drug," Burns says. "You have no idea how its manufactured or what's being put into it."
Vendors also call the store, pitching the product to owner Ray Chiras. But he says you won't find it anywhere on his shelves.
"I'm very conscientious on what we carry," Chiras says. "The side effects are not good. So you're better off staying away from it."
K2 is already on the US Drug Enforcement Administration's list of drugs or chemicals of concern. The agency continues to review its chemical compounds to decide if and how it should be regulated.
In the meantime, Burns urges parents to sit down with their children to let them know just because its legal, doesn't mean its safe. Also, burns says keep your eyes open.
"If you see something that looks like Oregano or a plant like substance that the kid says is incense and it doesn't appear they've been burning it, have a talk with them," burns says. "Because it's very dangerous and harmful to their health."
Another step has been taken to ban K2. New York State Senator John Flanagan introduced legislation back in March. The bill would prohibit its sale across the state. Once brought to the floor it must be passed by both the Senate and the Assembly.

The following information provides guidance to health care providers attending to the medical needs of HIV-infected adults (including pregnant women) or children displaced from disaster areas who have not yet secured HIV care in the areas where they have relocated.
Management of antiretroviral therapy is complex and, if possible, should be done with the assistance of clinicians with experience in HIV care. Medical consultation may also be available at specific local or regional HIV clinics. After the initial assessment of a patient's immediate medical needs, if at all possible, the patient should be referred to the care of an HIV clinician in the area.

The raptor is also difficult and expensive to maintain and is exceedingly difficult to upgrade.
The raptor carries six AMRAAMs and two shorter range AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles inside its weapons bays.
There was no high tech foe in Iraq or Afghanistan, and over Libya, the raptor was not the right jet for the task.
The raptor, which was developed and built for $66.7 billion, has been a controversial warplane.
He was charged with two counts of possessing a raptor and two counts of possessing a protected species.
That means it could take several missile shots to kill an enemy fighter, even for an advanced stealth aircraft like the raptor.
The shell is polished and exceedingly fragile, a rare thing in the eggs of a raptor.
The wigeon realises his advantage and sticks to the shallow—the raptor ever trying to force him to the deep.
The braincase of the skull is crushed in three places as though by a raptor's beak.
White excreta of a large bird beside the carcass indicated predation by a raptor, probably a horned owl.
c.1600, "ravisher, abductor," from Latin raptor "a robber, plunderer, abductor, ravisher," agent noun from past participle stem of rapere "to seize" (see rapid). Ornithological use is from 1873 (1823 in Latin plural Raptores).
