Gait Abnormality Rating Scale (GARS)[1] is a videotape-based analysis of 16 facets of human gait. It has been evaluated as a screening tool to identify patients at risk for injury from falls.[2] and has been used in remote gait evaluation.[3] A modified version was published in 1996.[4]
Scoring Edit
The scale comprises three categories:[5]
- five general facets
- four lower extremity facets
- seven trunk, head and upper extremity facets
Each item has a score range from 0 (good function) to 3 (poor function).[6]
The total GARS score is the sum of the 16 individual facets, and the total score represents a rank ordering of risk for falling, based on the number of gait abnormalities recognized and the severity of any gait abnormality identified.

Blizzard suing Glide Bot creator
It seems a Legal precedent is going to be set one way or the other concerning this behavior in MMORPG's.
Mr. Donnelly has admitted to selling more than 100,000 copies of Glide which sells for $25.00 US a copy.
Blizzard suing creator of the MMO Glider program
"Trust is good. Control is better."
Feliks Dzerzhinski, founder of the Soviet secret police
I hope so, I really look down on cheaters.
What does it do, actually ?
I only know Glide from the 3dfx chipset, but nothing else.
It makes it so your character fights mobs and loots them for money automatically, so you dont have to do anything. Used by gold farmers.
Thanks for the info.
So… ehh… anybody know where I can get some golds or socks?
:excited: I do I do!!:clap:
hehe, but seriously, If the game is that simple and monotomic as a bot can do it so well, isn't it a flaw of the game ?
Actually, it can't do anything but run around in circles and collect loot really. There are bots doing the same in pretty much every type of farm game, from Diablo to WoW.
That doesn't mean the bots will ever get you any nice equipment or any such thing, but it will get you loads of crap items that turns into a small fortune when everything is added up.
Isn't your equipment limited? if it can't run to sell those objects it would get full quite fast?
A lot of items stack so there is plenty of room for collecting in WoW.
If they just merely kill mobs and pick up the gold, they dont have any limitations, they could run that way forever without worrying about item space in backpacks, since money doesnt take backpack space.
So if you have 20 computers running bots all the time, you would get a lot of gold with minimal effort, over a couple weeks. And all you would have to do is casually monitor the bots…
Wow! That sounds like fun! Exactly what roleplaying is about! Casually Monitoring bots!
Ugh. MMORPG's are pure heresy. I'm going to leave this subforum
immediately because I'm starting to get rash all over my body.
You can do the same in all hack'n slash collect-loot-RPGs too (such as Diablo). :)
Totally deveats the reasons for buying and playing the game to me. I have played WoW and getting money to buy skills, equipement, whatever, goes hand in hand with getting the levels you need to use the stuff. It is part of the RP of the game.
Same here. I dont see any point in playing the game if I bought gold with money. Its more about the immersion of the game, not about how much gold I accumulate.

Watermelon straw flags are a cinch to make and the perfect little embellishment for cheery striped drinking straws. They're perfect to accent any drink at any celebration!
For our party in the park with family we sent out a watermelon invitations that we found at Pear Tree Greetings. Laid-back, full of bright colors and in the shape of one of our favorite summer desserts, the invitation became a big inspiration for our celebration's theme.
These straw flags drew directly from the watermelon slice graphic and were beyond easy to make. Try it for your summer party!
white, red, green scrapbook paper (you can use leftover scraps of paper for these little dandies)
circular paper punches--1 1/2 and 1 1/4 inch
black permanent marker
Follow these simple directions for cute and chic watermelon straw flags!
Step 1: Begin by punching circles from the green paper with the 1 1/2 inch punch, and red circles with the 1 1/4 inch punch.
Step 2: Then, glue the red circle on top of the green circle. Cut this layered circle in half and add some black watermelon seeds with a permanent marker.
Step 3: To create the flag, cut a piece of white paper into a 3/4 inch by 3 inch strip. Adhere the watermelon cut-out towards one of the ends of the flag.
Step 4: Finish by applying adhesive to the back side of the flag, fit around the straw, and press together to adhere.
You're watermelon straw flags are ready to be popped into any summer drink!

Treatment Approach
Continuing Care
Jolimar places a special emphasis on continuing care. All clients completing the program and maintaining the continuing care agreement will be entitled to all privileges relating to continuing care treatment on an individualized and predetermined scheduled basis.
The structured continuing care program meets weekly following discharge from Jolimar. These groups are counselor facilitated and provide intensive group counseling and educational sessions covering a variety of recovery related topics. A strong emphasis is placed on relapse prevention, returning to work and the family system. We refer to aftercare groups in Louisiana, Texas, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast . If you live outside these areas every effort will be made to find aftercare in your area.
Family Involvement
Family involvement is a key component of Jolimar's philosophy of recovery.
Clients entering Jolimar are encouraged to participate in an educational and therapeutic process. The focus of family program is to restore trust, and open communication among family members. Each participant examines their role in the family system to help resolve unhealthy conflict and to gain an awareness of the recovery process. The Family Program is designed to assist each family member in choosing an individual path of recovery.
The above described treatment approach is accomplished through the use of the following available resources:
A. An Assessment.
B. Multi-disciplinary team approach for individualized treatment planning.
C. Individual counseling sessions.
D. Group counseling and educational groups.
E. Family Program.
F. Continuing Care planning and follow-up. H. Resource referrals.
The treatment approach at Jolimar demonstrates the philosophy that an addictive disease is primary, progressive, chronic, incurable and if left untreated, can be fatal.
Our approach to recovery is based on a multi-disciplinary team focusing on the client's treatment goals. The staff consist of both recovering and non-recovering professionals, all of which are Licensed or Certified by the State of Mississippi.
We consider that a powerful and energetic effort to move the client towards the appropriate 12-step support group (i.e. AA/NA) is vital to continuing recovery. We teach and encourage alternative drug-free skills and methods to our clients. Treatment emphasis focuses on family of origin issues that are often associated with addictive disorders. While in treatment and following discharge, we believe in total abstinence from all mood-altering chemicals.
The program at Jolimar emphasizes that an important component to a successful recovery is involvement in a structured continuing care. Referrals for continuing care are individualized and provided for each client.

India set to join talks for largest trade blocSidhartha | TNN | Nov 9, 2012, 05.12 AM IST
NEW DELHI: India is set to join talks for creating the world's largest trade bloc, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership or RCEP, comprising Asean members and three manufacturing giants - China, Japan and South Korea - after a committee headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh endorsed the move.
The 16 members who will launch talks in Phnom Penh later this month account for over a quarter of the world economy. Last Friday's decision by the Trade & Economic Relations Committee (TERC) signals the government's intent to drive down import duties further in the coming years, a proposal that may not get too much support from the domestic industry, although it is being sold as an attempt to increase competitiveness of local players.
In return, the government is hoping to get a sweeter deal for Indian nurses, teachers and auditors who want to work in any of the 16 initial members of the proposed RCEP, which will also have Australia and New Zealand. Of course, this will come with the promise of allowing overseas companies easier access by giving them more flexibility in FDI rules.
The biggest concern, however, is the China factor as the Indian government has so far hesitated in entering into any sort of a trade arrangement with Beijing, fearing that the market would be flooded with cheap imports and make the trade deficit look even grimmer.
But TERC is learnt to have taken the view that it would be imprudent to ignore RCEP as India was taking a 'Look East' view of the world. Besides, it is seen as the trading region of the future, with trade expanding rapidly. The fear in government circles is that entering the bloc late would entail higher commitments, including a steeper reduction in import tariffs.
The industry, however, believes that the government needs to set its house in order before engaging in a negotiation like RCEP. "If we are looking to join these talks, it is very important that we accelerate our reform process and improve competitiveness and seriously look at seamless movement of goods and services within the country," Ficci president R V Kanoria said.
RCEP is seen as a counter to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which had Asean members such as Singapore and Malaysia apart from New Zealand as a founding member, but the agenda is now largely driven by the US, backed by Canada and Mexico. "It is important that we have our own proactive agenda so that we become a meaningful player," said Biswajit Dhar, director general of Research and Information Systems, a Delhi-based think tank.
Although India is keen on entering the RCEP talks, it is likely to pursue a defensive agenda in order to buy time for the local industry to become more competitive, sources familiar with the thinking in the government said.
Similarly, New Delhi is not in favour of including intellectual property rights as one of the issues given that it wants Trips, a multilateral agreement under WTO, as the guiding principle to ensure that access to cheap medicines are not stopped.
Industry, however, believes that it may be tough to slow down the talks, as the government intends to do, given the presence of at least 15 other countries. In any case, a deadline of 2015 is being proposed to clinch a deal.
But the government decision to join the talks, for which the "guiding principles and objectives" will be discussed by the leaders at the East Asia Summit this month, signals a significant shift from multilateralism to bilateralism, a strategy that India has been pursuing since the collapse of the WTO talks in Cancun in 2003.

A strange SIM problem with Gingerbread
- I have a very strange problem with my Thunderbolt that is connected to newer Gingerbread ROMs with Sense 3.0.
The thing happens is that the SIM card is not detected by the device in those ROMs (Gingeritis 3D Beta VII, Synergy and Liquid Gingersense 1.6. I have run them with the MR2, MR2.75 and the leaked MR3 radio and different combinations without any success. I have also updated the CWM to the modded 22.214.171.124 from 188.8.131.52 and completely wiped /system, /data and Dalvik cache between every flash.
When I flash an older Gingerbread like Gingeritis 1.2, the SIM card is detected again and contacts stored there show up. But immediately when a new Sense 3.0 ROM is flashed, it simply disappears which also removes the 4G connection of obvious reasons. The result of that is a complete loss of all data connection. It's possible to get 1X with the cover off (removal of the 4G antenna) but immediately when the cover is put back, all connection (including 1X and 3G) disappears.
All problems seems to be related to some kind of compatibility problem between the SIM card and the newer ROMs. My Thunderbolt is one of the first out there and it runs the first "Easy root" method that was released.
Beside this strange problem with the SIM card and the associated loss of data connection, it works perfect.
It would be interesting if there are any suggestions. I have double checked all MD5 checksums to be sure that all ROMs has been downloaded properly.
I am grateful for help with this issue. I would prefer to run the latest Sense 3.0 ROMs with working 4G.08-10-2011 02:49 PM
- I have now made some additional experiments including flashing the device without the SIM inserted. That removes all abilities to make calls, obviously.
When the SIM is reinserted, it found the network with a strong signal and calling works. I have now also noticed that saving contacts to the SIM works and the People app can show them properly. The only place where the problem shows up is under Wireless and Networks under the APN settings. When I enter that part, it says "no SIM found". Otherwise the card is obviously found by the device and calls are working. Data connection is not working though, it's only if I remove the battery cover that I can manage to get 1X working. So there seems to be something going on with the SIM in the 4G department.
My experimenting indicates that the SIM is working otherwise. When I tried other ROMs I have now noticed that the 4G is missing, it can't connect on 4G at all. The difference is that "SIM card not found" under APN settings is not shown.
Status for now with other words:
1. Phone calls works.
2. Saving and managing contacts to and on the SIM works.
3. APN settings presents the "no SIM card found" message. The APN itself shows up.
4. Data connection is not working with the battery cover on.
5. With the battery cover off, I receive 1X.
I have also tried to set it on CDMA (auto PRL) without any success when it comes to data connection with the battery cover on.08-10-2011 07:52 PM
- Have you flashed any radio's at all through HBOOT (placing the image PG05IMG.zip on the ROOT of your sd card and when the phone is off, hold down the volume down button and power button at the same time. this takes you into hboot, will then automatically recognize the radio and just follow the directions. Im just asking if you have ever done this before.... I just want a starting point to work from
also, you havent' ever tried the old dial 228 trick right? cuz that will def mess your phone up...08-10-2011 08:31 PM
- I have flashed the radios through Hboot according to the procedure you have described. The 228 trick has never been used. The only code I have entered is the *#*#7664*#*# in an attempt to restore connection through 3G atleast.
The interesting thing is the fact that the SIM card itself is recognized for phone book and calls. It's only the data connection that fails paired with the strange error message under APN settings (this applies to the Synergy ROM, latest nightly).
WiFi is working perfectly and I can make phone calls (have tried).
Edit: When I entered *#*#7664*#*# the problem was already started, I did that in a last resort attempt after finding it in a different thread on connection problems.
All radio flashing has been made through Hboot with PG05IMG.zips.08-10-2011 08:46 PM
- I had this same problem a couple weeks back where 4g just stopped working one day after i flashed a certain ROM. For me, 3g seemed to be fine as long as I had it set to cdma auto (PRL) only, otherwise when it was set on the cdma+lte/evdo auto the phone had problems keeping a connection. I tried everything from restoring to flashing different ROM's to flashing all the different radios with no luck. I'm no expert, so eventually i thought well let me see if the phone works properly if i unroot... it didn't. It still wouldn't connect to 4g.
Finally decided that I would take it into Verizon and see if they could help me out. Funny thing was, once I walked near this specific Verizon, phone connected to 4g. WTF rite? I mess around with the phone for a bit and it seems to work fine. I decide to test it out by leaving the parking lot and driving around for a bit around town. 4g drops and doesn't pick up anywhere I go. I decided to go back and complain to them and attempt to convince them that my 4g isn't working even though it was clearly working in their store and anywhere near them. I just told them it was a joke if I had to come to their store to use my 4g. Basicly i just complained long enough for them to give me a replacement.
Long story short, I'm not sure if its the SIM cards problem. I say this because i thought it could be something with the SIM card and asked them if we could try a new one in my old phone which they said no to and that it wouldn't do anything. When I received the replacement, I put my original SIM card in the new phone, booted it up and 4g connected right off the bat. It's been about a week now and 4g seems to be fine. I just rooted the other night but haven't gotten to any flashing yet. I'm quite happy with this replacement phone... everything seems to be working fine and it looks brand new. Hope this helps...08-11-2011 04:54 PM
- Huh... that's an odd story there mzm.
I was having serious radio issues mostly data dropouts after updating to chingy's radio 2.xx.xxxx and a lot of people on rootzwiki told me it was a dead SIM. So I took my baby into a VZW store, asked them to replace my SIM cards, and ever since my data connection has been rock solid.
But I am confused. You say you got a replacement phone, but used your old SIM, and it worked fine? Man I hope its not just my phone thats dead, and it really was the SIM. I hate these stupid SIM cards. I miss the old *22808-12-2011 10:46 PM
- my phone doesn't activate when I flash roms based off of the newest gingerbread leak. What I do when that happens is turn off the phone, pull battery and sim for 2 minutes and put it back in and voila, im all set to go. No need to reflash rom as it would just happen again.08-14-2011 12:25 AM

Feed the Piranhas in the Rainforests of Peru
Many people come to Peru to see its astounding and breathtaking rainforest which must be explored in order to get a feel of how Incas that came into the area in the twelfth century have explored it similar way. You can choose a more civilised way to explore the Amazonia rainforest which is by boat rather than on foot. Taking a boat ride down the Amazon River into the in-depth jungles is indeed an unforgettable experience. Along the way, you can see how locals perform their daily activities such as women washing their clothes in the river, men sitting near their huts which are picturesquely built on the banks of the river and the children running around. And this is all in the middle of the jungle! The next step is to arrive to Iquitos from where you can book tours to go deeper into the jungle. There are different options offered for all types of tourists – it can be the more budget options such as camping and treking or at the other end of the scale, a luxury boat with on board accommodation (Ceiba Tops) that has all the perks of well-developed civilisation.
When you are in the rainforest, you can experience fishing for famously blood-thirsty fish – piranhas. You will note that it is not the common fishing you would expect, but something rather unique. Your bait is raw meat that you throw into the murky water. Piranhas vigorously start biting and in a blink of an eye you should have one of those crazy creatures ready to be cooked for your own dinner. Alternatively, you can take a boat to spot special dolphins that are rare in colour and would surprise you with shades of pink. If you are more of an adventurous type, then try to explore Lake Titicaca that is part of the area of rainforest. It is positioned near the border with Bolivia and is indeed a never to be forgotten experience for those who love adventure. The lake area, apart from the view, offers great markets and local shops as well as cosy eateries.
Wherever you go in the rainforest, make sure you acclimatise and move relatively slowly with your journey. It is the Andes and it is very high in altitude which can cause severe headaches due to change in the pressure. Thus, take one step at a time and if you feel nauseated in the rainforest, try to rest for a day without rushing into another adventure. This can save you from trouble, considering that you do not want to fall over into the pond with piranhas or fall from the cliff.

The screenshots don't look too different from last year and I could have sworn they already had something about WR AI knowing where the sidelines were, etc. I hope that they actually make improvements and just don't forcefeed "small adjustments" down our throats with these blogs and actually make the changes to make the game better. UPDATE: http://www.virtualsportsnet.com/2010/03/26/madden-11-screenshot-of-phillip-rivers/ Screenshot of Phillip Rivers in Madden 11, the detail of his face-scan is amazing.

New Years Resolution: "Don't Turn Into A Bridezilla While Planning my Wedding"
Every year marks a new beginning, a new chance to set new goals and the great possibility of reaching them. When you get married, it is a new beginning to; it is the start of a new life, a new adventure. We want you to enter into this new adventure with a cool head, positive feelings, and minimal stressors. New year resolutions are often seen as a chance to shed off the bad parts of the previous year, but just like what happens before the new year doesn't magically disappear, what happens before your marriage doesn't magically disappear. Angry words, breakdowns, and frustrated fighting can leak into the relationships you have with your spouse, family members, in-laws, and friends after the wedding. Apologies can be made,and time can heal, but wouldn't be better if bridges weren't burnt in the first place? So, as you enter into this new year, and the stage of planning your wedding, make this resolution of not turning into a stressed out, easily angered, Bridezilla. Make it and then keep it by creating a plan and using resources designed to keep you stress-free and happy.
1. Start by reading up on the wedding planning process.
Reading articles like this, and the many others found here on WeddingAces and our Wedding Collectibles Blog is a great place to start because it will help you familiarize yourself with all the little details that goes into planning a wedding and start you off with creative ideas on how to get it done; giving you not only the what, but also a how. Once you start getting ideas and a more tangible grounding on what it is that goes into planning a wedding, then you can start your crazed planning journey.
2. Make your life easier by getting organized.
Some brides will use checklists to keep track of all of the things they need to do before their big day. Resources like WeddingWire's free planning tools are great for keeping yourself organized during the chaos of wedding planning.
Figure out your checklist based on the timeline you have to plan. Is your wedding date in a year? 6 months? 3 months? Don't know? Stop. Figure that out and then start planning. If you don't have an end point you can't figure out what pace your planning needs to go.
3. Use a checklist and wedding binder
Something else that is useful alongside a wedding checklist is creating a wedding binder. This will help you keep all of your information together in one place that is easy to take with you as you visit vendors and venues. Some people will keep everything online with the intention of easy access online. This could work to, but often it is easier to keep a clear mind and focus, when you don't have the temptation of any easy click to Facebook, Pinterest, and other social media time sucking websites. When creating a wedding binder create dividers to help organize the info in you binder. It is easiest to do it in categories like photographer, cake, reception, caterer, wedding dress, etc. The Well-Organized Woman (wow) has some great recommendation on how to categorize your binder. Whatever you do, just do whatever it is that keeps your thoughts organized and your mind sane.
4. Take a day off
Just like with work, school, cleaning the house, gardening, and doing pretty much anything, you will need to take a break. This is a great time to go with your fiance out on a romantic date, have a relaxing mother daughter day, or a girls day with your best friend, all with one rule: No wedding talk (Unless it is girlish giggles of being oh so excited).

The concept of an encyclopedic museum was born of the Enlightenment, a manifestation of society's growing belief that the spread of knowledge and the promotion of intellectual inquiry were crucial to human development and the future of a rational society. But in recent years, museums have been under attack, with critics arguing that they are little more than relics and promoters of imperialism. Could it be that the encyclopedic museum has outlived its usefulness? With "Museums Matter," James Cuno, president and director of the Art Institute of Chicago, replies with a resounding "No " He takes us on a brief tour of the modern museum, from the creation of the British Museum--the archetypal encyclopedic collection--to the present, when major museums host millions of visitors annually and play a major role in the cultural lives of their cities. Along the way, Cuno acknowledges the legitimate questions about the role of museums in nation-building and imperialism, but he argues strenuously that even a truly "national" museum like the Louvre can't help but open visitors' eyes and minds to the wide diversity of world cultures and the stunning art that is our common heritage. Engaging with thinkers such as Edward Said and Martha Nussbaum, and drawing on examples from the politics of India to the destruction of the Bramiyan Buddhas to the history of trade and travel, Cuno makes a case for the encyclopedic museum as a truly cosmopolitan institution, promoting tolerance, understanding, and a shared sense of history--values that are essential in our ever more globalized age. Powerful, passionate, and to the point, "Museums Matter" is the product of a lifetime of working in and thinking about museums; no museumgoer should miss it.

Elizabeth Day had a worth-reading portrait in the Guardian of Rachida Dati, the Former French Justice Minister and now member of the European parliament . Here is what I thought was the sugary excerpt:
There is part of me that wonders whether Dati will be offended to be asked about her appearance, but this turns out to be entirely wrong. She is only too happy to talk about her clothes. "For a long time, 'femininity' has been synonymous with 'triviality', but that is not the case at all," she says, her gold hoop earrings shaking slightly as she nods her head for emphasis. "Femininity is part of being a woman. It is part of my identity to preserve my femininity."
Later, Dati tells a story about having her photograph taken in the street earlier in the day "and when we looked at the picture there was a line of teenage girls behind me and all of them had their eyes down, looking at my shoes!" She laughs, her brown-black eyes lighting up with unexpected enthusiasm.
It is difficult to imagine a British female politician expressing the same unabashed candour about a love of fashion. When, two years ago, Dati attended a French state banquet in a slashed-to-the-thigh midnight blue evening gown, it prompted a period of rueful questioning in the UK press about why our own female MPs were so sartorially uninspired.
In Westminster the consensus appeared to be that in order to be taken seriously, it was best not to draw attention to the fact one was female. Dati does not approve: "I've always been like this, even when I was 15, 20, it was always important to me to be well-dressed. It's important for me to hold onto my femininity because it's authentic to me and, you know, I was asked not to. I was told by my predecessor [at the Ministry of Justice], Elisabeth Guigou, a very pretty woman, that it wouldn't be long until I gave up my high heels. Well, I never wanted to do that."
Something about that excerpt troubles me because I suspect that Dati can only even go there because she is "attractive" and that therefore she has the ability to use her femininity as political bling bling knowing full well the risks and the advantages especially when she is aware of the dangers of the perception that she was Sarkozy's Beurrette (Arab) and that she never deserved to be France's Justice minister. The point here is simple, but has to be carefully made because the context here is everything, which Elizabeth Day forgets to emphasize: Rachida Dati had no other choices but to be very feminine and to care about her physical appearance, her chic clothes, her jewelry, all of it when it became an acquis to those who mattered (King Sarkozy and his court) that she didn't have the substance to be a political figure. I'm Sarah Palining her, to the contrary, I argue that she reached the top also because she was a symbol and that, thus, she has to keep on being a symbol to remain visible, relevant, and attractive. It's unfair, but life is too often tough, brutish and bitchy for ambitious women. Dati is smart and is using all the tools that she has not to become disposable the most potent of which is her femininity. What bother me is she gets praised for being feminine because it is seen as proof of substance and of courage when it isn't, for that matter, it is also not a proof of frivolity, lack of sophistication, dumbness, or inculture. Nowadays, femininity is political bling bling, it is a little bit like the American flag that American politicians wear on their suits/clothes to wear their patriotism on their sleeves (Obama refused for a long time to do that until he decided that he would rather be president that a principled senator trying to educe American on the unimportance of symbols).

Last month Google released a Transparency Report highlighting the number of requests from governments for removal of content and for user information, and how Google responded to those requests. The report generated significant interest because of the great increase in censorship requests it received from democratic governments to remove political content. Dorothy Chou, Google's senior policy analyst, who is responsible for the report stated "It's alarming not only because free expression is at risk, but because some of these requests come from countries you might not suspect – Western democracies not typically associated with censorship." Ms. Chou also highlighted that the data in the report demonstrated: "There are consistent patterns to remove political speech and in many cases this doesn't actually fall under a specific law." I highly suggest watching Ms. Chou's Speech as she fully explains how the report is organized, and why transparency and an open internet are important.
The Transparency Report is divided into three sections: traffic of Google services around the world, removal requests from government agencies and copyright owners, and requests from government agencies and courts on users data. Google also installed interactive tools making the report much easier to navigate. I found the statistics highlighted by internet tech blogs to be especially interesting:
According to Techcrunch:
- Google received 187 content removal requests from U.S. government agencies, asking for the removal of 6,192 items across the company's product portfolio. To put this into perspective: in the first half of 2011, Google was only asked to remove 757 items in the U.S. and only received 92 removal requests. Google complied with 42% of these requests.
- Although Google rejects many requests, it complied with roughly 65 percent of all court orders and 47 percent of informal take-down requests.
- U.S. requests more than doubled since Google's last transparency report period.
Techspot reported:
- Google's received around 1,000 removal requests from at least 45 different countries between July and December 2011.
- Most of the requests came down to politics – for instance, when blogs or YouTube videos criticized government officials or agencies.
The increase in democratic government requests for censorship of information does not surprise me. Throughout history, those in power and special interests did what they must to protect those interests. This occurs in any country, government and power structure. Of course, it would continue on the internet in some form today. True, Americans cherish the Bill of Rights, are protected by the 1st Amendment's freedom of speech and the United States is a republic with a strong democratic tradition. However, censorship has occurred throughout American History and to this day. In fact, Reporters Without Borders ranked the United States 47th in the world in terms of their Press Freedom.
Rather, I agree with John Battelle, who in a recent blog post stated "Given the explosion of arguably illegal or simply embarrassing information available to Google's crawlers (cough, cough, Wikileaks), I'm rather surprised that worldwide government takedown requests haven't grown at an exponential rate." To him it is more interesting that as we shift our identities to the digital sphere, information is shifting from being entrusted to government agencies to corporations: "Prior to email, our private correspondence was secured by a government institution called the postal service. Today, we trust AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, or Gmail with our private utterances. When documents were analog, they were protected by government laws against unreasonable search and seizure. When they live in the cloud….the ground is shifting. I could go on, but I think you get my point."
I also agree with Mr. Battelle in applauding Google for releasing the transparency report. Google is a powerful company operating worldwide and is by no means required to release these reports. Therefore, thank you Google for taking the time to compile and make the information public, for believing that "more information means more choice, more freedom and ultimately more power for the individual" and Ms. Chou for encouraging additional companies to make their information available in the transparency report. In conclusion, given the results of the transparency report, I found Ms. Chou's closing remarks in her speech especially poignant:
"We need researchers to look at our data, to build on it and to find these trends and call it like it is. In countries that traditionally cherish free expression, the risk is not that free speech disappears over night, but rather it's that gradual erosion that we really need to watch out for. And without more transparency, we won't be able to realize what's going on until it's much too late."

The tosa was used in Japan in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and down to about twenty years ago.
"I will do my utmost to bring back a smile to her lips," said tosa.
tosa gave his orders to the leaders of the troops whom he left behind; then hastened on to Chozan, where his ships awaited him.
It was the palace of the Queen of tosa, who had been dead for several years.
"tosa is a zealous servant," said Hieyas, with a shade of irony.
She is the prisoner of the Prince of tosa; a messenger brought me the news yesterday.
In tosa the evil was so rampant that a society for its prevention has been in existence for many years.
tosa had drawn his sword; he struck it against Nagato's blade.
The street of the suburb which led from this gate was not unlike the one which now opens from the tosa gate.
But the tosa agitators did not neglect to make capital out of the embarrassment caused by the Satsuma rebellion.

Handbook Helps Women Understand Legal Rights In Vermont
02/09/12 12:50PM By Jane Lindholm, Ric Cengeri
| Download MP3
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy called on every state to form a commission to investigate discrimination and encourage opportunities for women. Today, Vermont remains one of just a few states whose Commission on Women has continued as part of the government.The Commission has just issued the 6th edition of "The Legal Rights of Women in Vermont." VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with Wendy Love, the commission's executive director, about how the handbook helps people understand their legal rights and responsibilities under state and federal law.

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast are the most costly cuts of the chicken, but are worth it for many habitancy because of the relative ease of prepping, cooking, and eating. Skinless chicken breast are also low in fat and high in protein. Care must be taken when cooking or the meat can come to be very dry in a short time.
Infrared Gas Grills
1. Make sure that the chicken has been rinsed fully before cooking, unless the chicken is soaking in a marinade. Pounding the chicken breast will make it uniform in thickness and easier to cook.
2. Pre-heat the grill on med-high to high and lay the chicken breast on the grill. A hotter temperature will cook faster and sear in the juice if grilled correctly.
3. Grill for approx. 4-5 minutes checking oftentimes to insure the chicken is not burning. The chicken is ready to turn when the bottom side has clear sear marks and the top still is pink.
4. Grill the chicken for someone else 4-5 minutes or until done cooking. Firmly touch the chicken at the thickest point to see if done. If overcooked the chicken will feel hard without any give. If undercooked it will feel a microscopic squishy. If cooked right it should have a microscopic spring back.
5. If you are unsure if the chicken is cooked adequate you can make a small cut into the thickest part of the chicken. If the town is still translucent then it needs more cook time. The chicken will continue cooking after it is taken off the grill. This is when most habitancy overcook, because they take off the chicken too late from the grill. Once it has cooked fully through it will start drying very fast. Most cooks will take off the chicken just before the town is cooked. Be just with this in that you do not leave the town raw.
6. take off from grill and serve. Now is a great time to add your popular sauce. You can apply the sauce while cooking to make a tasty glaze if you want.
Safe Internal Temperature: 165 degrees
* Chicken sticks very easy to a hot clean grill. To minimize sticking, lay the side of the chicken that had skin on the grill first. This will also insure much best sear marks. You can also lightly coat the outside of the chicken with oil or spray oil. Some habitancy even use oil on the grill bars before placing on the chicken.
* Grilling the chicken too long on one side before turning will dry the chicken. Signs of grilling too long on one side are the raw topside turns white and the edges curl up.How Long Do You Grill Boneless Chicken Breasts

Anyone going on a skiing holiday this winter is being urged to ensure they have comprehensive travel insurance and their European Health Insurance Cards to hand.Sainsbury's travel insurance found that medical expenses claimed on winter sports-related policies increased by 11 per cent between 2007 and 2008.It was also discovered that the average value of a claim from America and Canada was £2,991, which may emphasise the importance of travel insurance for those jetting off across the Atlantic.Sam Marrs, manager of Sainsbury's travel insurance, said: "You need travel insurance to pay for any private medical treatment or for example to be airlifted from the slopes or repatriated back home. An air ambulance alone can cost up to £20,000 in Europe and as much as £60,000 in the US and Canada."According to VisitBritain, many Britons may find it more affordable to go on holiday in the UK rather than abroad.Compare travel insurance quotes from lots of websites automatically with Quotezone!

I watched a bit of the Hornets' game on Wednesday night vs. the Thunder and was surprised that David West wasn't in the game in crunchtime. They played Songaila (who went 2 for 9) instead. From the boxscore, it looks like West didn't play the last 15 minutes of the game. Not sure what was going on there.
By the way, ESPN is still reporting the Amare-Iguodala trade as "hot" and current (Marc Stein in his Weekend Dime and the RumorCentral Twitter refer to it). Can they all be recycling the same old rumor??
Like Howard Eskin says; Just lose baby.
Wow, HD on league pass again. Two games in a row.
Pinckney and Zumoff doing their best to avoid criticizing Jordan in any way shape or form.
Alright, here are the confirmed starting lineups:
Jrue -- Collison
Willie -- Peterson
Iguodala -- Peja
Brand -- West
Dalembert -- Okafor
Seems like a good opportunity for Peterson to get healthy from three.
I don't even know what to say about the New Orleans alternate unis tonight.
Here we go.
I hope EB and Iggy stuff the stat sheets, and we lose. Every time i see EJ on the sideline before the game, i just shake my head. How does a guy so unqualified to be a head coach land that distinction THREE times? Maybe its his good looks? Or his undeniable charm?
I'm going with the orthodontics. They must be hypnotic in person.
Jrue breaks the seal with a nice drive to the hoop and finish.
Moving screen by Okafor. No need for a whistle.
Beautiful cut by Jrue, find by Iguodala, and the finish.
the find and laser pass was my favorite
We'll I'll be Andre!
(....still thinking......)
Man, that Iguodala guy sucks, they need to trade him.
Jrue looking aggressive early.
Willie started hot, shot himself right out of it :)
Sammy w/ 5 boards and 3 blocks, I think.
Hell, I was thinking EB shot him out of it...and himself too.
That Sixers kids camp commercial gets me every god damned time.
don't call child protective services now.
Dalembert is dominating this game so far.
5:52 PHI - A. Iguodala dunks the ball
5:55 PHI - A. Iguodala defensive rebound
damn its nice to see that again.
Just listened to Tim Legler, ESPN, on 975. He states the sixers should either blow it up and trade for McGrady or no way trade AI9/Dalembert for what, the same stuff. He thinks the players do not believe they can win.
Jrue looks like he is on a mission so far. Great to see! I assume he will be benched soon, however.
As I stated, Jrue benched.
Man, did Jrue just block that?
That's a three you don't mind. Brand kicks it out of the double for a set look.
brand's leading the team in assists whaattttt???
Now let's watch Collison dissect the defense since Jrue got the hook.
Notice, as soon as Jrue is benched, Collison starts scoring. I am sure he is glad for Eddie Jordan.
Two nice dishes so far for Willie. The first one EB couldn't handle though.
ugh. there goes jrue. see you in the second half.
if last game is an indication, he'll be back before then.
He played the entire second and third Qs last game, if memory serves. then was nowhere to be found when they really needed his D.
Ugh, Speights defending in the post is not a pretty sight.
Speights' defense looks even worse than usual.
Iguodala, the exact opposite.
Iguodala really needs to abuse Peja.
Brand is struggling from the line recently.
Up 2 after 1, 25-23.
I'm guessing it's a money thing, but Brand, Iguodala, and Dalembert are clearly not the problem with this team. Yet they're the ones involved in all the trade talks.
And Ivey's taking Jrue's minutes now. Outfuckingstanding.
Have I mentioned today how much I loathe Eddie Jordan?
I'm surprised we almost survived one Q without going that far.
Loathe him big time.
Nice finish by Thad, avoiding contact.
Posey for three on the other end.
Three fouls on Speights in 7 minutes. That one was just lazy.
this is fucking b.s.
Score it and one for Thad.
thad looks like a new man.
And he's out.
Dag, Thad's family members need to come to the home games too - if he's going to play this feverishly.
If there are any Jordan defenders left, can you explain to me what Jrue did wrong in his 8-minute run.
Come on man, he only got up 2 shots to Willies 7.
Even if Andre didn't go all the way to the hole there. I still liked that he power dribbled and went in a few feet before launching and sinking the jumper. If picky, I wish he would attack deeper, but...
I honestly think once he gets in to about 17 feet and in, he's pretty darn good. The closer the better though.
BTW, what is all this recent talk of 'cringing' when he shoots?
Jrue's coming back!
Yeah, was he at the scorer's table?
Why are they in this stupid zone w/ this personnel on the floor? This is probably their best defensive lineup.
This guy is such a fucking moron.
the best defensive lineup actually has willie green and lou williams in the backcourt and thad young as the 5
This had me in tears.
We have our best defensive unit in and come out in a fuckn zone.
And they're raining threes over it.
Zum: Sam is the sixers leading free throw shooter, 80+%.
That's good. And bad.
It would be bad if he was leading at like 75%
Man, that's bad. Dalembert? Leading in percentage? Sam?.......lol
Carney is working himself right into a seat on the bench in the second half.
Out of the zone now and we get a steal and a dunk on the other end in transition.
Jordan goes zone for no reason, and like the other team always does, the Hornets hit an open three. I wonder what percentage of the time that happens.
I think Carney should play in the 2nd Half. His coach probably doesn't.
I like this lineup alot.
cherish it. you are likely to never see it again :(
Rodney should have pulled the trigger there before the buzzer instead of passing it to Jrue.
Up by 9 at the half. Any chance they put the Hornets down early in the third?
Did anyone catch that savvy play by Jrue at the end there? He drove and kicked to get Carney a look where he hit one a few possessions earlier.
This kid has a great head on his shoulders. That's the point guard instincts we talk about.
"As a basketball player, I'm obsessed with stats. Points, rebound and assists." - Lou Williams.
I realize he didn't write the script, but come on.
He still thinks he's playing some damn AAU...
I mean, if he was more obsessed with learning the game and the finer nuances of it, but we don't want to ask the non-student to study, now do we?
On a totally unrelated question - does anyone here know how to use photoshop/illustrator or indesign to mock up a 3d rendering of a box of specific proportions for use in 'vanishing points' on photoshop cs3?
No, but I can make Eddie Jordan's head 5x larger than the rest of his body in photoshop.
Yeah, that i can do also - image masks are fun...
I can also put his head on someone elses body if you want me to
Doesn't help with my problem :)
11/7/5/1/1/1 for Iguodala in the first half.
Comeon. pump up that trade value, Iggy, pump it up. The better you play the more we'll get for you...
Brand should've shot that.
Sammy is possessed on the boards right now.
Sammy's just padding his rebounding numbers now :)
That was the old Moses trick I believe...
I'm sure AI9 wanted the assist though.
That was a bullshit call, took away a dunk from EB and an assist from Jrue.
Come on Jrue, after you cut him off, you can't let him ease away for the runner.
meaning, be just as good off-the-ball as you were on it.
What a terrible freakin call!
Taking away Jrue's assist.
What a drive by Jrue, and one. Really glad he didn't settle for the contested jumper with the SC running down.
that's what i wish andre would do more of. because really, Jrue isn't any quicker.
Driving isn't always about quickness, change of pace is more important.
and Andre possesses a respectful change of pace with his dribble too.
I was more meaning I want Andre to not settle so much, plus Andre has slower guys guarding him than Jrue. He should stay in attack mode.
I think there's a fine line between being aggressive and over-confident.. He gets a lot of assists from driving.
There is no overconfidence in applying pressure on a defense.
Just like that probe and lob to Sammy. Sweet.
I meant out of control. No excuse for that typo.
He looked like Derrick Rose in the playoffs last season contesting that three in the corner. While Willie stood in the lane and watched (it was Willie's man).
Andre had Peja committed, where he could have drew the foul. But he gave another pump and allowed him to recover and contest. He should have just drew the cheap foul.
Willie looks hurt. Why he brought the ball up when he was clearly hurt is anyone's guess.
Aaaand, see you tomorrow night, Jrue.
Wow, 5 turnovers for Brand. that's just ugly.
Threes. Ugh.
That was a bad decision by Iguodala to give the ball to Lou on that break. Didn't hurt them, but I don't want Lou making decisions in transition if it can be avoided.
Thad guarding West is a problem.
This must suck for Jrue. He matches up with his less talented college teammate who got to run the point last year simply because a. he was more suited to play the 2 and b. The other guy was a senior.
Now they are in the NBA where Jrue knows he is going to be used better than this guy. Although he knows he is a better player, he doesn't play that much and plays for a guy who tries to make his game what it isn't. This while the other guy has the keys to the car to do whatever he wants. Stinks.
Up six after three. That third quarter was a slow slide. Need to play some D in the fourth if they're going to hold on.
At least thad's first miss was a legit miss. Bricked 15-footer.
1 on 4 break. lou charges.
Come on Lou, learn to run the damn break properly.
Gotta think Jrue comes back in, right? Willie's hurt and no AI.
God Lou pisses me off. Carney was wide open.
No, he was wide the fuck open...
Why isn't jrue in????? It's really pissing me off royal ivey isn't the future of this team stop giving him legit minutes when you have jrue just sitting on the bench
Why isn't jrue in????? It's really pissing me off royal ivey isn't the future of this team stop giving him legit minutes when you have jrue just sitting on the bench
Lou complained to the press about his fourth quarter minutes. Therefore, Lou gets all the fourth quarter minutes now.
Lou's being showcased for a trade, I hope. Ohh, do I hope...
Ohh my god me too I want Lou off this team.
That should be ball game.
Thad Young, where have you been, or, is this you?
Maybe they'll push it to 25 and Jrue will get some garbage minutes at the end.
Saving Jrue for tomorrow night?
Must be.
I prefer the Lou showcase.
What a find by AI9.
Man, what a bounce pass by Andre.
Zum: ..that is indicative of the effort and hustle tonight."
Yeah Zum? Where's that been all year, tell me about it.
Talent overcoming coaching, three straight games.
Against really three sub-par teams.
He may be bad, I don't know. But effort of talent makes good coaching. It always has.
That's a catchy thing for shitty coaches to say as an excuse, or good coaches to say when they're being modest, but it's bullshit. Bad coaches exist, and we have a front row seat for probably the worst I've ever seen.
And I won't agree but maybe so.
But passioned effort, can mask bad coaching, when in the context of 'playing' the game. Meaning even John Wooden would lose if he got half-hearted effort the majority of the time.
Getting the effort is also part of coaching. A guy like John Wooden would get the effort out of his players. This group of players gave 100% effort to Mo Cheeks and Tony DiLeo, this guy is just a joker who cares more about being a dickhole than inspiring and leading his team.
We could go on and on, but you know yourself, whether bad or off-kilter or what, they never gave it a chance. Whether it was the offensive or defensive systems (before they abandoned it too late just b/c AI3 was signed, which is BS, abandoning a system not even implemented, for an added player after the season started), these guys didn't bring it early.
The calling-out to the press can be construed as arrogance, but how much effort can you coax out of grown men - spoiled, paid ones at that. I mean, whether they liked him, or liked what he said publicly, or liked what he said behind closed doors at practice, you don't just sacrifice the effort nightly.
Apparently the answer to that question is that Tony DiLeo and Mo Cheeks can coax a hell of a lot more out of these guys than Eddie Jordan.
And at this point half of them are probably playing hard in the hopes that they can get the hell away from this guy via trade.
Yeah their best player is out but then again we've lost more than once to teams without their best player
EB, nice job on West tonight for the most part.
You know, up 12 with 4 minutes to go is really a time to go with your defensive lineup. Put Sammy and Jrue in here and they wouldn't be able to score 12 the rest of the way, even if you don't score a point.
"The best defense is a good offense"- Anonymous
Lou's deal might be like Willie's in a few years if we can't get rid of him. I genuinely dislike watching him play basketball.
Nothing against the person, but genuine doesn't do me justice when it comes to the basketball player.
Eddie Jordan just doesn't fucking get it this is what happens when you play guards who can't defend for shit I absolutely hate this coach
And Willie is back in on a bum ankle instead of Jrue or Sam for that matter. Awesome.
I despise Eddie Jordan. I hope they lose. Substituting Willie instead of Jrue. First play, turnover after a wide open 3 for Collison.
Nice foul, Willie.
And another turnover.
Lou's Plus-9 tonight is one of the more misleading stats of the season.
Willie at the point for the defensive stop. Oh brother. Better than Lou, I guess.
Willie got veerrryy lucky collison missed that easy floater because he got blown by soo easily I hate our coach I can't stand watching these guards play anymore
Awesome defense by our guards. I am sick and tired of an incompentent coach. Sick.
That's right Jrue, Collison can play mediocre basketball for 40 minutes a game. You on the other hand can play solid ball for 17 minutes and that's all your getting.
Then another 3 by Collison. Jrue's probably foaming right now.
I am so sick and tired of watching other rookies get time to develop their game on the court. Sick.
If Jrue had the amount of time Lawson, Collison has had this year, he maybe an allstar. But we will never know.
so now he's telling Willie go come get the ball so he has a ready-made excuse why he didn't sub Green out. "he was shooting the free throws"
Here is what I find as the most mystifying part of Jordan's subsitutions/minutes:
Why does Sam play so little? His production per 36 recently must be amazing. 15 boards in 23 minutes tonight! Yet Jordan has him play around 25 minutes every game. Amazing. I know a lot of people have been on this but it really struck me tonight. Sam might have had 25 boards if he played as much as he should have.
Because he is going uptown!
Notice that we can only beat above .500 teams IF they have hurt top players???????
That sound you hear is ping pong balls bouncing away. At least Indy and WASH won.
At least it might prevent an awful trade.
Was it just me, or did the rotation actually make sense?
Carney with quality minutes - including some 2nd half run. Lou generally TRYING on defense (except where he gave up on that high screen late and basically let Collison tee up a 3). Iguodala in control of things out there. Sammy with 16 rips...ho-hum (admittedly against a donut front-line).
Not a good game for Brand to look like crap, now that there actually may be a chance to move him (natch). But if I'm Mark Cuban, and I want a shot to win a title before the lockout, I might actually do that deal - Iguodala could have that big of an impact on that team, and Brand can help them this year.
7 wins in their last 10 on the road. Damn. Even if there were a few cuppies on that list, that IS something.
I'm so confused.
How many minutes did Holiday have tonight?
I don't know - check the boxscore.
I'm not worried...if they blow this team up he'll get LOTS of minutes.
You said you liked the rotations
Jrue had under 20
Ivery had under 10
I never like rotations like that...even if Iverson is unavailable

Ratings for Dr. Sunita Kulshrestha
I have been a patient of GIVF for years..my latest IVF cycle was a bust. The nurses rotate so much - you wouldnt even know who to get in touch with. They attend to new patients properly. Old patiends are taken for granted especially those whose cycles failed. Dr. K left the practice..she was our primary..and no one had the decency to inform us even though we had emails flying back n forth with the nurses. Dr. K has misguided us on so many levels as well. She was an incompetent docror.
Dr. K was the worst doctor I have ever experienced in my life. Please, do yourself a favor and find another practice with competent doctors.
I have been a patient at GIVF for exactly a year & undergone 3 IUI's (In my 2ww currently). When I chose this clinic I had higher expectations as to the treatment I would be recieving. My nurse Lauren has actually been the most helpful person & always responds to my e-mails no matter when I send one. The rest of the staffing is a different story! My financial advisor Barbara Pastorious submitted my paperwork to the insurance company with me listed as being single b/c I'm in a lesbian marriage & when asked to correct it gave me a story about not being able to resubmit the same claim! Each Ultrasound & IUI has been with different staff members who struggle to read each others notes!I have what they call a POSSIBLY BLOCKED tube for which they cant give a definate answer which to me defeats the purpose of that painful HSG testing! I always feel my appointments are rushed and vital information & interaction isn't recieved! Currently searching for a new clinic just in case this cycle fails!
Don't waste your time at GIVF Fairfax. The place is run in an auto-mode without any proper approach to cycle evaluation. Dr. Lincoln is not competent and has no answers to any failed cycles or providing any new approach.. At times, the folks are aggresive in their response and don't want u to ask questions... Also, I think the place is too busy to provide you any detail and depth of your case and at the end say "it is upto your luck". I fail to digest that answer... given I was told my embryos were A+ .. Go figure.. good money making place..
I am seeing Dr.K since 2011 and she has been very kind, polite and helpful in every way. But unfortunately, I had one failed IVF cycle and lost my twin pregnancy early after a successful FET, I was shocked at the after-miscarriage treatment. Not checked for any infections, no diagnostic blood tests to why the misc happened. The staff is Ok, but the doctors protocol needs to be looked into.
I'm really surprised that the reviews here are so bad. I've recently started working with GIVF and they have been much easier to deal with than another local big name fertility practice I also 'interviewed' for the job of helping me conceive. The front desk staff, nurses, and doctors I've interacted with have all been kind and helpful so far, and seem to be knowledgeable. Also, my primary doctor and my OB both spoke highly of GIVF and Fx Cryobank, which made me feel good about my choice too. I'm just starting out, so if they can really help me conceive successfully remains to be seen, but so far I have nothing but positive observations about how things are run. My only suggestion would be to try to hire another female doctor, as they only have one right now, and plenty of women prefer to have a female doctor for such intimate procedures. I have seen Dr K. twice so far and she was wonderful.
GIVF is the worst! Every single person there is rude, unfriendly and unhelpful. Terrible experience! I am seeing a new doctor and he is a million times better
Dr. K is awful - absolutely terrible. After only 1 egg was retrieved from my donor, of "poor, poor quality", Dr. K refused to discuss our options. She was rude and refused to release records. I am still considering bringing a malpractice suit against GIVF and Dr. K. Consider other IVF facilities - this group and Dr. K in particular are just out to take your money.
I went through 3 IVF cycles under Dr. K's care. While all three were failures, I think very highly of Dr.K. I was amazed at how much preparation she put into her consults. I have a medical/scientific background and Dr K was very knowledgeable, never spoke down to me, and she was much more cutting edge in her approach than another well-respected RE in the DC metro area...she found ways to tweak my protocol after each successive failure. I liked GIVF much better than another, larger local center. It was much less factory-like, provided a much less stressful atmosphere, and operated very smoothly. I liked all of the other staff as well. Despite the fantastic response to Dr K's protocol, ultimately I was "shown the door." Clearly, that decision was not Dr. K's, but the CEOs and other partners. I did continue to pursue IVF and did get pregnant at another center :o) I credit Dr. K for helping to design a protocol that ultimately led to my success.

When the Jordan School District split goes live this summer, schools on the east side will have a richer property tax base to tap into than schools on the west side.
Seeking to remedy this imbalance, the Jordan School Board -- representing west side schools -- unanimously endorsed legislation Tuesday that would require the "equalization" of property tax revenue within a district before it splits.
Sponsored by West Jordan Republican Rep. Jim Bird, HB155 would not stop the split, but could complicate matters for the arbitration panel tasked with the divvying of Jordan's assets.
The measure also promises to prolong an already costly and contentious divorce with the new east side Canyons District.
Canyons School Board leaders Wednesday issued their own statement opposing HB155, which would result in a property tax shift to Jordan of $16.4 million in 2010 and another $17.3 million in 2011.
Losing that money, coupled with the threat of statewide budget cuts and the $3.2 million that Canyons District taxpayers are already paying as part of a county-wide plan to equalize school funding, could directly impact classrooms, said Canyons Board President Tracy Cowdell and Vice President Sherril Taylor in combined statement.
The Canyons board has put together a capital facilities plan, including seismic and fire safety upgrades, that will likely cost about $400 million. On top of that, East side residents are on the hook for 57 percent of a pre-existing $282 million Jordan school construction bond.
"We're worried children and programs will be hurt. We don't think anyone really wants that," the Canyons statement reads. "If the aim is to do what's best for all kids, we don't believe this bill does that."
Jordan officials contend, however, that Canyons is flush with revenue.
Now, and for the foreseeable future, the value of residential and commercial property is significantly higher in the Canyons district than in the remainder of Jordan.
As a result, Jordan will have 41 percent less funding per student than Canyons, say Jordan Board members. Also Jordan is growing, whereas Canyons enrollment is flat, potentially forcing the Jordan board to levy a property tax increase.
"We have a lot more children and a lot less money," explained Jordan board member J. Dale Christensen.
Jordan Board member Peggy Jo Kennet said HB155 not only benefits Jordan, but any other district contemplating a split. She hopes city officials in the district's boundaries of Herriman, Bluffdale, South Jordan, Riverton and West Jordan also endorse the bill.
East-side residents voted in 2007 to leave Jordan District and form their own district. The split becomes official in July.

Good morning Ravens fans! Here's my January Mock Draft video (2 rounds)
Good luck in the Super Bowl!
Good morning Ravens fans! Here's my January Mock Draft video (2 rounds)
Good luck in the Super Bowl!
Sorry, but A lot of teams would totally fuck up for the draft to work out like this
This bro went FULL RETARD.
Mathieu being our first round pick?
I really like Mathieu, but there is no way he is a first or second round pick...I can see some team taking a shot on him at the end of the third, but no way is that happening.
Em -
Uhh...dude, I've got nothing but respect for what you're trying to do...but Tyrann Mathieu with the Ravens' 1st round pick?
There is ZERO chance that happens. Zero. Zilch. Ngata.
Mathieu may end up on the Ravens...but as a 6th or 7th round pick. Or, a UDFA.
Reasons why Mathieu will likely go undrafted:
1. The guy hasn't played in over a year.
2. The guy was kicked off of LSU's team for multiple violations of team and school rules.
3. The guy went to rehab, came back from rehab, and got busted by the 5-0 on charges for possession with intent, IIRC.
And that isn't even touching the fact that he's 5'9" 175lbs and is basically a tweener. He's not really a corner, but he's not really a safety either.

This Land - A New Exit to Space Readies for Business | NYTimes.com
By Dan Barry, NYTimes.com, Posted 02/22/10
Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/22/us/22land.html
Barry digs into the local scene and discovers some background stories about SpacePort America that's emerging from the barren flats of New Mexico.
"This is not a secret government project, or some NASA reception hall for alien dignitaries. This is Spaceport America, a $198 million endeavor by the State of New Mexico to plumb the commercial potential of the suborbital heavens — a place once known only to astronauts, dreamers and the occasional chimp.
Space tourism. Scientific research. Satellite deliveries. All possible up there, where the stars glitter like spilled coins. Who knows? One day you might decide to skip another two-week vacation in the Wisconsin Dells for a two-hour trip into space. Fly Virgin Galactic. See the sights from as high as 80 miles up. Five minutes of weightlessness guaranteed. Just $200,000."

Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locationsall of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.

Book is ok, no blockbuster. Quite frankly I was disapointed after enjoying immensely Dan Brown's previous books. Just did not have the same "Wow" factor as his other books.Read More
This guy Dan Brown leaves a lot to wonder as to the imagination. I had to read when I was really perky and maybe bored, with a lot of time to just pass. I'm not sure if I will be reading many more books written by Dan Brown, I guess I'll have to wait to see what elseRead More
Great condition and it shipped very fast! The book is such a good read. I finished it already.Read More
Book was excellent condition; does not look like anyone has read it. Amazing low price. Speedy delivery.Read More
It's tough to followup a novel like Da Vinci Code, one of the biggest sellers ever, but Dan Brown has done a very good job with this one. These novels are really a story within a story--one a suspenseful piece of fiction, the other an historical education on the origins of Christianity and Masonic symbolism.How many Americans know about all the Masonic symbolism in the buildings of Washington and the Masonic connection of many of our Founding fathers? Probably as many as those who know about the Templar Knights and Mary Magdeline. That figure to the right of Jesus in Da Vinci's Last Supper sure does look like a woman to me--how did I miss that 20 years ago when I was in Milan and saw the painting (it was dark and I was a good distance away). I have to wonder what else we'll discover in Brown's next effort.Read More

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) recently filed a federal lawsuit against the Raleigh Transit Authority for refusing to run bus-wrap advertisements on its buses. The bus-wraps depict sows in gestation stalls. Printed at the top is this: "How would you like to spend the rest of your life in a space as small as a bus seat? It's what Big Pork wants for pigs, but together we can change that." A web address is provided as well.
What HSUS means by "Big Pork" is never described. However, the web address takes people to a page on the HSUS website, where they are provided the form letter and address to send an email to the National Pork Board. Underneath the area in which visitors provide their own contact information, is a message explaining how they will receive future solicitations from HSUS. It states: "After you take action, you'll receive updates by email on how you can help animals."
The complaint, filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina, alleges that the Raleigh Transit Authority violated HSUS' rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution by rejecting, on the basis of its message, artwork and text submitted for an advertisement. The complaint seeks a declaration that the Transit Authority's rejection of the HSUS ad is unconstitutional and further seeks to enjoin the Transit Authority from refusing to run the ad.

Q. I recently read some papers on the corrosion of concrete in sewer manholes. Apparently, this is not a problem of gasses floating around in the sewer, but an issue of anaerobic bacteria (Thiobacillus) living on the surface of the concrete, creating sulfuric acid, which corrodes the concrete.
The prevailing response has been to specify liners. However, there is an antimicrobial agent that does not allow Thiobacillus to live on (or in) the concrete. By eliminating the bacteria, you can eliminate the acid and the corrosion.
The other issue is the high sulfate content of sewage. This could be addressed by following Portland Cement Association's "Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures" requirements for concrete exposed to sulfate-containing solutions, (i.e. low water cement ratio, use of a pozzolan, higher compressive strengths, low alkali cements). By designing for a "moderate" sulfate environment and using an antibacterial agent as an admixture, you could eliminate the need for a liner.
What other issues should be addressed in this type of application?
A. Liners, coatings, and materials designed to form a barrier on a concrete surface have been popular choices for years in attempting to preserve the integrity of concrete structures. Unfortunately, water and vapor transmission still allows chemical reactions to take place on the surface or in the concrete matrix. In addition to reactions with alkali, calcium and lime, a lowered pH causes the loss of the passivating layer on steel, setting up an environment for corrosion.
Instead of modifying a portland cement product, some have suggested neutralizing the alkali by chemical reaction and forming a solid in the gel pore/capillary system which prevents water/vapor transmission and any further chemical reaction. Once you seal the concrete against water and vapor, you also shut out the bacteria.
One product that takes this approach is StableCrete, from a Florida company named Conselcor (www.conselcor.com). An application of this product also leaves a paintable surface, which does not allow alkali to come to the surface "burning" a coating off.
If you prefer modifying the concrete mix to sealing the concrete surface, you can consider using an antimicrobial admixture. One source of information on this approach is Conshield Technologies Inc. (www.conshield.com), which also sells such an admixture.
