January 31st, 2012by letmedie
I'm 34 and have been suffering from depression for at least 17 years and ADHD since I was a child. My mother didn't like how I reacted to Ritalin as a child so the ADHD was left untreated until I was prescribed Adderall about 5 years ago. The difference in output and energy was night and day but the depression continued to lurk under the covers despite having tried many medications over the years (Effexor, Prozac, Paxil, Welbutrin, and finally Citilopram). I racked up enormous student loans over the years and other debts that I realize are attributed to Bipolar manic phases. A major life change triggered a classic case manic episode that lasted three months. During those months I racked up even more debt, moved from the east coast to west, and burned just about every friendship bridge left. Deep personal reflection over the last 4 months helped me realize that I've been Bipolar for years and explains why I'm always depressed and sometimes ridiculously irritable/irate. Manic highs don't have to feel good/elated.  The "big one" that occurred from June to August of last year had some uncharacteristic euphoric highs for me but classic signs like pressured speech, no need for sleep, grandiose delusions, and reckless impulse decision making prevailed. The high fell of a cliff to a perilous low valley of deep depression complete with omnipresent suicide ideation that hasn't let up one bit over the last 6 months. I officially decided to commit suicide last October and almost hung myself in November but stories of failed attempts on the web scare the crap out of me, as does the pain factor and image of my elongated bruised neck post mortem. I don't want my parents or sister to have to see that. Research has led me to favor the helium hood method. Several hundred suicides are successful each year and although there are plenty of stories that describe failed attempts (especially on this site), I have yet to find any accounts where attempts gone bad have resulted in traumatic brain injury. Has anyone on here found such portrayals? I bought one small 4.5 cu Balloon Time helium tank and plan to buy three more. I'm thinking of connecting two by a T-Junction and running it into an oven bag secured by rubber bands around my neck. Another tube connecting the remaining  two T-Junctioned tanks will run into a mask. I will exhale, put on the mast and bag and turn on all 4 tanks by opening each one just a little. Then I stop holding my breath and inhale when the bag is filled. A slow trickle from 4 tanks simultaneously should provide enough helium to displace any other gases long enough to do the deed. I hope it works. Every waking hour is torture and I know it can only get worse. I need to end this pain before I don't have the means to do it peacefully. I'd be surprised if I last another month. The link below is my inspiration.

3 Reasons for Marriage
Being happy has very little to do with the reason God created marriage. Marriage can be very unhappy, and still fulfill its reason for being.
"What? Marriage isn't supposed to make me happy?"
No. Not really. Shocking thought, I know! Why else would anyone ever get married?
A happy marriage is a wonderful byproduct, and will often result when marriage is doing its intended purpose. But happiness is much too shallow a reason to go through the difficult learning curve marriage presents, or to stick around "in sickness and in health, 'til death do us part." If we think marriage is designed primarily to make us happy, the first time we're unhappy we will feel we have made a mistake, or decide we have a reason to leave. And that's just not the case.
Here are some of those deeper reasons for marriage:
- Reflect God's unconditional love and intimacy. No human being knows you better than your spouse, and yet they love you anyway! (Doesn't that surprise you sometimes?) That is a small measure of the care, closeness, understanding, and security God offers in His relationship with us.
- Be sandpaper. Ouch! You can't get that close to anyone without revealing your rough edges. Rubbing against each other, learning to give and accept forgiveness, and making the necessary adjustments helps shape our character. That's a good thing.
- Accomplish something bigger. There's something bigger God wants to accomplish through your union together. Do you know what it is? Beyond the purpose He has for each of you individually, there is something He wants to do with your marriage together. It may be something specific in ministry, but don't limit Him there. He may use your marriage to extend His reach into areas where He is not known. Ask Him to show you what He wants to do with you together.
I pray your marriage is a happy one. But regardless of how happy you feel in your marriage right now, look beyond your happiness and see God's purpose for this thing we call marriage. Understanding that will help you through some of the rocky times all marriages face, and bring a deeper measure of fulfillment over time.
Your turn: What do you see as the purpose of your marriage? How have you come to understand that? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

The department seeks to make students more aware of the physical world around them and of its development through time. The subject includes a study of the materials of which the Earth is made; of the physical processes which have formed the Earth, especially near the surface; of the history of the Earth and its organisms; and of the various techniques necessary to investigate Earth processes and history.
Each introductory course is designed to cover a broad group of topics from a different perspective. Students may elect any of the 100-level courses. Geology applies many scientific disciplines to investigate problems of the Earth. Fieldwork is an essential part of geologic training and is part of many classes and of most independent research projects.
Major Requirements
Thirteen courses are required for the major: Geology 101, 102 or 103, 202, 203, 204 and 205; two courses each in two of the following: chemistry, mathematics, physics; Geology 403; and either two advanced geology courses or one advanced geology course and an additional upper-level course in chemistry, computer science, mathematics or physics.
Additional courses in the allied sciences are strongly recommended and are required by most graduate schools. A student who wishes to follow a career in geology should plan to attend a summer field course, usually following the completion of the 200-level courses.
All geology majors undertake a research project (Geology 403) in the senior year. Most students complete a one-semester project in the fall semester; a two-semester project may be undertaken with approval of the department.
Honors are awarded to students who have outstanding academic records in geology and allied fields, and whose research is judged by the faculty of the department to be of the highest quality.
Minor Requirements
A minor in geology consists of Geology 101, 102 or 103 and any four of the following: Geology 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206 or 236.
Concentration in Environmental Studies
The Environmental Studies Concentration allows students to explore the interactions between the geosphere, biosphere and human societies. The concentration, offered jointly by the Departments of Anthropology, Biology, Geology and Growth and Structure of Cities, takes the form of concentrations in each of these departments.
The Environmental Concentration in Geology consists of the five core courses required of all environmental studies concentrators — Biology 103, 220, Anthropology 101, Geology 103, and the senior seminar in environmental studies — as well as 11 courses specific to the Environmental Concentration in Geology: Chemistry 101 or 103, 104, Mathematics 101, 102, Geology 101, 202, 205, 302 or 312, 403, one additional 300-level course in Geology or Biology, and one additional course in Anthropology. Students are encouraged to take additional environmentally-oriented courses in the social sciences and the humanities, such as Economics 105, 213, 214 and 234, Growth and Structure of Cities 185 and Political Science 222.
Concentration in Geochemistry
The Geochemistry Concentration encourages students majoring in Geology or Chemistry to design a course of study that emphasizes Earth chemistry. In geology this concentration includes at least: Geology 101, 103, 201, 202, 205, one of 301 or 302 or 305; and Chemistry 101 or 103, 104 and 231. Additional Chemistry courses may include 211 or 222. Other courses that complement this concentration are calculus, computer programming and computer modeling.

Ministry Putting up 200m Br Data Repository
Country storing electronic data abroad for
large sums in foreign currency
The Ministry of Mines (MoM) is constructing a 200 million Br digital
national data repository (NDR) on a 18,000sqm plot
to store data collected by different international
oil companies during exploration.
The NDR is located on the compound of the ministry's branch on Asmara
Since the cost of exploration for petroleum is expensive for the
government, oil companies conduct exploration on
different sedimentary basins using risk capital. The
government has signed protocol agreements with the
companies and the data is collected from the
companies after their exploration.
The existing data, which was collected by different oil companies since
1934, is estimated to be worth 600 million dollars.
It comprises magnetic tapes, rock samples, systemic
data, and well logs taken from deep holes.
A tender for the construction of the building was floated twice; the
second one earlier this year was awarded to
Tekleberhan Ambaye Construction Plc for around 90
million Br, according to Mekonnen Negusie, senior
economist of petroleum licensing at MoM.
The construction must be finalised within seven months, according to
the contract signed in March 2011, and construction
has started.
A total of three international consultants participated in drawing up
the architectural, structural, electrical, and
mechanical designs of the building last year. These
are Petroleum India International, Fugro Data
Solutions and its local contractor Afri Consulting
Architects & Engineers and RPS Energy Ltd.
Following the financial and technical evaluations, the contract was
awarded to Fugro Data Solutions, a United Kingdom
(UK) based company that was founded in the
Netherlands in 1962.
To date, the data has been stored haphazardly in offices with moderate
air conditioning, according to Mekonnen. The present
location where the database is stored does not have
gas suppression to enable petroleum samples to be
stored in the same building, he claimed.
Since the country does not have a standardised data management system,
electronic system data is stored in foreign
countries, which costs the country large sums in
foreign currency.
The NDR is expected to preserve the data by managing the identity,
integrity, and quality of the archives. It would
also secure data as the system has scanning
facilities which would helps to retrieve the data if
the building was damaged.
"Organised data and information of high quality attract investors in
the sector as they would be interested in easily
accessible information about previous explorations,"
Mekonnen said.
Many local and international companies have engaged in oil exploration,
including Afar Exploration, Africa Oil, South West
Energy Ltd, and Petronas Carigali.
Petronas Carigali has abandoned its oil exploration activities after
spending around 350 million dollars during seven
years of operation. The company tried to transfer
all of its exploration activities to South West
Energy, but the deal was not accepted by MoM and the
blocks were returned to the government.
"They spend huge amounts of foreign currency during
exploration whether they are successful or not, and
the data is used as input for companies new to the
country," Mekonnen said.

Docket Management
Docket: 02N-0273 - Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins Prohibited in Ruminant Feed
Comment Number: EC -34
Accepted - Volume 2

The Humane Society of the United States
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
February 4, 2003 Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305) Food and Drug Administration 5630 Fishers Ln, Room 1061 Rockville, MD 20852 Docket No. 02N-0273, "Substances Prohibited from Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins Prohibited in Ruminant Feed" On behalf of The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) I would like to take this opportunity to submit comments regarding the rule on "Substances Prohibited from Use in Animal Food or Feed; Animal Proteins Prohibited in Ruminant Feed". We would like to commend the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for its proactive and preventative measures to keep bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) out of the United States. In light of the devastating impact the introduction and spread of BSE would have, we support changes in the BSE feed regulation that would exclude brain and spinal cord from rendered animal products and prohibit recycled poultry bedding from being fed to cattle. As a short term measure it is important to exclude brain and spinal cord from rendered animal products. An animal infected with BSE will have high concentration of the BSE agent in these tissues and the World Health Organization has recommended that countries exclude these tissues from any animal or human food chain.1 As well, because the dose needed to infect cattle is very small it is thought cross-contamination of feeds has played a continuing role in transmission of the disease in European countries. This has led to a feed ban involving all major food animal species in some of these countries.2 In the longer term we believe that there should be a complete phasing out of the feeding of mammalian protein based feed to animals, as it is risky in terms of disease transmission. BSE belongs to a class of spongiform encephalopathies that are found in a number of other animals. One of the commonly held theories is that BSE originated when the agent that causes scrapie jumped the species barrier, through contaminated feed, to infect cattle.1 Furthermore, other diseases can result from high risk feed with animal proteins in it like foot and mouth. The feeding of poultry manure is also risky –as well as unnatural and offensive- and should be prohibited. It is a practice that would meet with widespread public revulsion and little acceptance. Recycled poultry litter will undoubtedly contain spilt feed and the amount would be difficult to quantify. If this feed contains meat and bone meal (MBM) from ruminants it could lead to BSE infection if fed to ruminants. Furthermore, the WHO concluded that digestive contents and faecal material from livestock or poultry being fed with MBM (which maybe contaminated with BSE) should not be used as a feed ingredient. Experiments with mice that were infected with scrapie showed that a detectable amount of infectivity passes through the gut.2 Furthermore, there are other risks associated with feeding poultry manure because it contains pathogens, drugs and their metabolites, and minerals and heavy metals.3 MBM and poultry manure are primarily used because they are a cheap source of protein. While we do understand and sympathize in particular with small family farms that find themselves under increasing financial strain a price should not be put on the safety of our food supply. It is disturbing that in an attempt to maintain a competitive advantage over other producers, industry will feed manure and animal protein to animals despite the risks. If the FDA bans these practices it will put all farmers on equal footing. In conclusion, there are too many uncontrollable variables to sanction the continuation of the practice of feeding animal materials to animals and poultry manure to ruminants. We hope that the FDA will continue its proactive and preventative work and make these changes. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Tamiko J. Thomas, M.Sc.

Windows Media Center Edition is lots of fun to use--it's difficult to resist an interface that ties together so many pleasant diversions. Pausing and recording live TV
We did experience a few disappointments with the OS, however. Inexplicable tinkering with submenus has made some of the applications harder to use. For example, you now have to leave Radio and drill down two menus under Settings to delete a preset station, a simple chore that you should be able to perform on the Radio screen. In My TV, you can no longer see the Record and Guide menu choices conveniently alongside a live window.
Media Center Edition needs additional fine-tuning, including a forward button for times when you hit the back arrow once too often. In addition, Media Center's refusal to notify you when TV listings have finished downloading from the Internet is annoying, and applications occasionally trip over one another. For instance, CDs stop playing when you attempt to configure a network connection.
Should you make the leap to a Media Center PC, firing your DVD player, stereo receiver, and TiVo and putting all your entertainment eggs in one basket? These are PCs, after all. Will you be upset when a hard drive malfunction or system crash results in the loss of a month's worth of recorded Law & Order episodes? Will you be able to concentrate on The Shawshank Redemption while conscious that an unsaved spreadsheet lies waiting on the screen underneath? You can't upgrade your TV as you can a PC, but you don't have to protect it against viruses, either.
If you're a trailblazer or if you own an old stereo and TV and have yet to buy a TiVo box, one of these PCs could be an adventure worth embarking on. Just don't forget that you'll want a broadband connection and, ideally, a home network to realize its media-sharing potential.
Several Shapes and Sizes
Home entertainment PCs come in a variety of forms. Six of the nine systems we reviewed for this roundup are designed to look like electronics components rather than like desktop systems. Alienware's DHS 5, CyberPower's Media Center PC Limited Edition, and IBuyPower's Media-XP are handsome black boxes. ZT Group's Cisnet Media Center PC X6534 is a large brushed-chrome unit that's somewhere between a component and a desktop in size. Meanwhile, the Shuttle Computer XPC G5 8300MC and the Sys Technology MediaMax take a different tack, resembling large shoe boxes. None approaches the sleekness of a new DVD player, but any of these units will look right at home in your living room. And only the hum of their system fans will give them away.
Traditional Towers
We also took a look at three units with traditional PC designs: the Gateway 820GM, a tower; and the HP Media Center PC M1050y and Medion M3Director 5100, both minitowers. D
All of the units we saw are powerful PCs equipped with fast Pentium 4 or Athlon processors, at least 512MB of memory, large hard drives, high-end graphics cards, multiformat DVD burners, memory card readers, and all the usual ports. These Media Center PCs earn their entertainment stripes by coming preinstalled with Windows Media Center Edition 2005 and a built-in TV/FM radio tuner card. They have tons of audio and video ports--many have not only VGA and FireWire but also S/PDIF, S-Video, DVI, composite, and component video--to connect the latest equipment, from your camcorder to a plasma TV. Finally, to direct the action, each system comes with a remote control and an infrared receiver, usually a small USB unit. The latter includes infrared blaster cables that you affix to your cable box so you can change stations through the Media Center interface.
You shouldn't have a problem setting up the hardware for any of these entertainment PCs; the task isn't any more difficult than installing a VCR. The biggest hassle we encountered involved mapping the Media Center remotes to our Comcast satellite-TV box, a long and tedious process. Only two of the systems, the Alienware DHS 5 and the HP Media Center PC M1050y, had manuals that fully document how to set up the system, including how to integrate the PC into an existing TV-VCR-satellite arrangement. Clearly, most vendors expect buyers to be savvy PC users who can work with the software, rather than consumers who merely want a PC-based entertainment box.
We saw a range in performance scores. The HP Media Center PC M1050y, which came equipped with a 3.8-GHz Pentium 4 570 processor, was the top performer, earning a WorldBench 5 score of 96. Medion's M3Director 5100--which had the slowest CPU, a 3-GHz Pentium 4 530--got a mark of 80, about 17 percent less.
We noticed a clear difference in how the PCs handled radio tuning. Only the Sys Technology MediaMax's seek time was as fast as a traditional stereo's. The CyberPower and ZT Group PCs were almost as snappy, but the rest were excruciatingly slow, often taking up to 20 seconds to find the next station. Typing in a station and saving it as a preset worked much better.
Speaking of entertainment options, we also checked out a Media Center laptop from Toshiba and a gaming system from Compaq.

Emma Watson Nude?
The Daily Mail reports that Harry Potter film series starlet Emma Watson, 18, says that she would go nude for the right film role.
Yikes! The public grew up with you! You're the smart, sensible girl at Hogwart's! Keep your school uniform on!
But Emma is, undeniably, growing up.
Gaze upon the young Ms. Watson looking lovely at the premiere of The Tale of Despereaux at Hollywood's Arclight theater on Sunday night. The animated fable is that much sweeter for employing Emma's dulcet tones.
When a British Sunday magazine asked Emma if she'd lose her top for art, she responded in the positive.
"Yes. For [director] Bernardo Bertolucci. It … depends. I'm not getting my kit off any time soon, but it is part of my job. I'm at a strange age. I'm not a woman yet, but I'm not a girl anymore," she says
Isn't that a Britney Spears song?
Bertolucci, 68, is the auteur behind such highbrow fare as Stealing Beauty, The Sheltering Sky and The Last Emperor.
So at least Watson's nudity would be artful and not just going Bra and Braless for a Farrelly Brothers flick.

I am a 57 year old retired professor and celiac living in Fairbanks, Alaska. The transition to GF cooking was made easier for me because I have always cooked from scratch, whether starting from Alaskan salmon and moose, or fresh vegetables. Living with celiac disease still means good conversation over good food.

For a celiac traveler from the United States, New Zealand is a pleasure. Gluten awareness is widespread, there are GF food options virtually everywhere you go, and product labeling for allergens and gluten is typical. Because New Zealand is English-speaking, there is no problem communicating GF needs. And, of course, it's summer there when it's winter here and it's beautiful.

Student Spotlight: Azeam Anjum
Azeam Anjum
Major: Engineering
Azeam Anjum developed an interest in science during high school, where he also enjoyed math and computer programming.
"I liked to relate physics concepts to my interests, such as the application of electromagnetic induction and how it works in an electric guitar," he said.
After College of DuPage offered him a scholarship, Anjum researched the school and decided to apply. He's never doubted the decision. For example, in 2010, Anjum was one of two science students from College of DuPage to land summer internships at Fermilab. Anjum participated in a project with a re-accelerator that involved inductive output tubes, or IOTs, which TV stations once used to broadcast analog signals.
"I worked with technicians, engineers and physicists who were designing cooling systems for the IOTs in a test facility," Anjum said. "I learned so much from the people I worked with – Maurice Ball on this project, Kevin Duel on the second project, and my supervisor Frankie Kelly."
In addition to gaining an internship at Fermilab, Anjum was the rare student who also landed an internship at Argonne National Laboratory. After his internship ended, he worked at Argonne an additional two years as a co-operative technical research assistant and then as a research assistant.
Anjum earned his associate's degree from COD and transferred to the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he was awarded the UIC Steven M. Pasquerelli Academic Merit Scholarship and the INPO National Academy of Nuclear Training Merit Scholarship, which was based on his performance as an engineering intern at the Exelon Nuclear Power Plant. During his last two semesters, he worked at the UIC Computational Multiphase Transport Laboratory, where he researched CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics).
After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Illinois at Chicago and its Honors College with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, he received UIC's Faydor Litvin Graduate Award and earned his master's in Energy Engineering. He then passed his professional engineering exam.
Anjum now works as a fossil power technologies engineer at Sargent & Lundy, LLC, in downtown Chicago. Currently, he is part of a team designing a new generation plant in Kazakhstan. The plant will both generate power for the nation as well as provide heat and heated water to a local village.
He is thankful for his time at College of DuPage and how well it started his collegiate career. He returns to COD annually to speak at its Explore Engineering Night.
"COD has great opportunities," Anjum said. "All of the science classes transfer, and I could take upper-level courses. To study thermodynamics at a two-year college is impressive."

NEW YORK (Sep. 23)
Dmitri Shchiglik, 53, has been found guilty of "parasitism" and "malicious evasion of payment for support or maintenance" of his first wife and sentenced to one year in a labor camp, it was reported by the National Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ). Shchiglik, who has been applying for an exit visa since 1973, was sentenced to one year on the charge of parasitism and six months on the charge of non-support, but is serving the two sentences concurrently.
The NCSJ said that his lawyer was unsuccessful in proving that Shchiglik, who was employed as a maritime engineer for 36 years, was living off the salary he had earned working for the Hydro Meteorological Service.
As to the second charge, Shchiglik's former spouse claimed that he had pressured her to sign a contract releasing him of all monetary obligations and responsibilities. This claim came six years after their divorce and despite a statement she signed in his emigration file that she did not object to his desire to emigrate and that all alimony and child support payments have been made in full.
Shchiglik was arrested July 16 and detained in prison while Soviet authorities investigates his case. He left his job in April to protest against being denied permission to emigrate and not receiving notification about his last visa application in 1979.

Defensive lineman JonRyheem Peoples is candid about why he sought and received a release from BYU: head coach Bronco Mendenhall set goals, and he wasn't able to meet them.
Peoples hails from Rigby, Idaho, where he was ranked as the No. 4 in-state prospect by Scout.com.
He redshirted in 2013, coming to BYU at 360 pounds after having been billed around 300 in high school.
Peoples told The Tribune by phone Wednesday night that Mendenhall and he came to an agreement: He had to trim down to 310 with 25 percent body fat, and he had to maintain a B average. If he didn't, he wouldn't have a scholarship in fall 2014. Peoples said he's currently 332 with 30 percent body fat, and he's just shy of the GPA mark, so Mendenhall pulled his financial aid.

Pool Tile Cleaning: How To Best Remove Calcium Buildup
There's nothing better than a refreshing swimming pool on a hot day. Pools are a wonderful addition to almost any home. Especially in nice, warm places like Southern California, there's nothing like a pool to cool off, relax, and just have a great time. Unfortunately, if you have a pool with glass or porcelain tile, you're probably also quite familiar with one of the less pleasant parts of owning a pool, and that's pool tile cleaning. Somehow, no matter how well you maintain your pool, no matter how clean you keep it, and no matter what chemicals or additives you use, over time there'll be unsightly calcium build-up around the waterline, and also all over the spillway if you have a Jacuzzi.
The science behind blasting is that you shoot something at the calcium that is harder than the calcium, but softer than the porcelain tile. Glass does the job. Glass beads, however, would damage glass tiles, so glass pool tile cleaning uses soda blasting instead. So selecting the proper bead type is crucial, and a good professional service will check the tile and select the proper bead. The second important thing is pressure. Too much pressure, and the tile can get damaged. Too little pressure and calcium residue will be left behind. Professional services will use big truck-mounted compressors for the necessary high airflow at just the right pressure.
How does a service do the blasting, and what happens to the beads? The methods vary depending on the type of pool and tile. Porcelain tile is by far the most common, and in those pools, there's no need to completely drain the water; you simply lower the water level a few inches below the tile. The bead blasting then safely removes the calcium buildup. But what happens with the glass bead used for blasting? That settles at the bottom of the pool from where it is quickly vacuumed out after the cleaning.
Ugly calcium buildup is inevitable in most pools (the calcium leaches from the pool plaster and then builds up on the tile). You can try to remove it manually, but between the time it takes and the risk of hurting yourself and the tile, this is one area where getting a professional service to do it makes much more sense.

The man is alleged to have taken pictures of sites such as the Supreme Court and the Nigerian National Petroleum Tower.
Nigeria has strict rules on photography and the police are sensitive about public buildings being photographed.
There has been no comment on the arrest from the Iranian embassy.
Investigations going on
National police spokesman, Chris Olakpe, said the man was arrested last week on suspicion of spying on the nation.
Both said the man was being interrogated.
The Nigerian security agencies are trying to establish whether there is a link between the Iranian and militant Islamic groups or "Talebans" in Yobe and Borno states, northeast of the country.
Ms Oyo said: "Investigations are going on and the government will continue to ensure that we are not drawn into unnecessary chaos of any kind."

Most sessions with the doctor begin with a debriefing of health history and a neurological and orthopedic exam. From there, Dr. Santoro may treat pain with a chiropractic adjustment via the hands-on "cracking" technique or with a more technological method using infrared lasers or magic. In addition, resident acupuncturist Dr. Tong uses hair-thin needles to open energy channels and relieve a range of symptoms, incorporating cupping and massage as he goes. Clinic staffers also prescribe specific herbal supplements to help heal from the inside out, and will even walk patients through diet and nutrition specifics in pursuit of weight loss or overall wellness.
Aside from boosting wellness, Optimum Health Chiropractic also stimulates relaxation with six types of massage—from Swedish to hot stone—and detoxifying footbaths. They swaddle clients in slimming creams to tighten skin, and use chocolate-scented body scrubs to smooth dry patches and attract feral sundaes during ice-cream-hunting season. They even maintain a menu of traditional spa services, including waxing, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and facials augmented by optional pumpkin peels.

HONG KONG — If you're a reporter covering China, you quickly learn that there are a few big red buttons that you aren't supposed to push. Three of them start with "T" — Tibet, Taiwan, and Tiananmen. Another one, slightly smaller, says "Falun Gong." And then, hidden way down below, there's a tiny, glowing button that you absolutely, certainly, must not press. That one says "Wealth of Chinese Officials' Families."
On Thursday, The New York Times pressed it again.
In an impressively detailed story, the Times reported that a firm run by the daughter of China's beloved ex-premier, Wen Jiabao, had been paid $1.8 million to help JP Morgan drum up business in China. The article included a front-page photo of Wen's daughter — who worked under the assumed name Lily Chang.
This comes just over a year after the paper disclosed that Wen Jiabao's family had amassed a fortune worth at least $2.7 billion, thanks in part to their patriarch's clout.
Since then, Beijing has been trying to quietly punish the Times. After the article ran, the company's website was blocked, and applications for visas "mysteriously" stalled in the labyrinthine bowels of Chinese bureaucracy. Several of the company's reporters have been stuck in limbo, waiting in Hong Kong for permits to come through.
You can be sure that things are about to get tougher in China for the Gray Lady. Already, on Friday, the new Chinese-language website of T Magazine, a non-political lifestyle publication, was blocked.
It comes in a period of unusual tension between Western news organizations and China. Last week, Reuters reporter Paul Mooney, a veteran China journalist, was told that he had been refused a visa — the first time this had happened during his 18-year career. Bloomberg has been unable to get visas, too, and its website has been blocked for over a year, since it published a report on the wealth of Xi Jinping's family.
Following the latest Times report, on Friday the Chinese websites of the Wall Street Journal and Reuters were blocked. The South China Morning Post, an independent newspaper in Hong Kong, said on Friday that its site had also been inaccessible in China for the past two weeks.
Even before the Wen Jiabao report, Beijing's attitude seemed to be hardening. A leaked internal Communist Party document from April listed "Western media" as one of seven threats against which the Party must be vigilant.
"The ultimate goal of advocating Western views of media is to hawk the principle of abstract and absolute freedom of press, oppose the Party's leadership in the media, and gouge an opening through which to infiltrate our ideology," it said.

text: The Scottish band Idlewild staged a brief U.S. hype invasion in early 2001, following a familiar wave of fawning overseas press with the heavily promoted release of 100 Broken Windows. Seemingly dozens of acts follow a similar path every year, to the point where it's hard to separate the greats from the likes of Gay Dad, but it's a shame that Idlewild couldn't find the ubiquitous radio airplay it deserved. A brief, buzzy, ridiculously ingratiating collection of alternate-universe MTV sensations, 100 Broken Windows dispenses hard-charging guitar-rock (with the occasional swooning ballad for texture) to great effect, so it's nice to see the group get another chance to attract a massive audience in America. Unfortunately, The Remote Part is merely good-but-not-great, though it does feature a few nicely driven rockers ("You Held The World In Your Arms," "Stay The Same"), alongside a plentiful assortment of ballads and forgettable mid-tempo also-rans like "Century After Century." Roddy Woomble remains an engaging frontman throughout, but his delivery tends to be less idiosyncratic, and therefore less compelling, than in the past. At its best–on the swooning "American English" and the breathlessly catchy "Out Of Routine"–The Remote Part nicely duplicates its predecessor's heady rush, but too much of it is merely passable. Of course, a passable Idlewild record with scattered highlights and no outright duds is still worth hearing: After all, there are worse sins than skating under a bar you've set almost impossibly high.

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court ruled Tuesday that the head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland is not immune from being sued by an Augusta man who alleges he was molested as a boy after the diocese assigned a priest it knew had sexually abused children in the past to a parish in the state capital.
In a 5-2 ruling, the court affirmed that under current law charitable groups such as churches, museums and sports organizations are immune from claims for negligent actions, but it said they are not immune from intentional ones.
The impact of the court's ruling will be felt by every nonprofit organization in the state, a dissenting justice predicted.
The state's high court sent back to Kennebec County Superior Court the question of whether the bishop of the diocese knew that the Fr. Raymond Melville had a history of sexually abusing minors when in 1985 he was assigned to St. Mary Catholic Church and School in Augusta.
"Applying charitable immunity in claims involving intentional torts" — that is, wrongful acts — "would set Maine so far outside the mainstream that it would put this state in a class by itself," he wrote. "We do not believe it advisable to expand so profoundly a doctrine that has generally been acknowledged as bankrupt" by courts in other states.

text: Project Description The project started as a re-roofing project. The existing roof of the historic Maricopa County Security Center Building had deteriorated under an ill-considered addition of turf after being made into an accessible space with a 1958 penthouse addition. Wanting to enhance the usability of the space and provide much needed urban shade, we proposed an elevated deck that engaged the historic structure strategically, adorning the roof with a contemporary counterpoint to the building's Renaissance Revivalist style. Utilizing modular and prefabricated building techniques, a steel frame was erected to span the existing roof deck and tie into the existing structural columns. Structural steel planks span the elevated frame to define the platform, and glass rails optimize views. To create shade and expedite construction, a series of standard aluminum tubes in a variety of standard colors were arranged vertically and horizontally around the south and west platform edges. The mottled effect of the randomly distributed four colors brings depth to the enclosing surfaces. Whether from the glass rail or integrated bench, the penthouse deck offers clear views of the immediate downtown and distant mountains. The platform's ample size maximizes flexibility, enabling the space to host a variety of gatherings.

Unnecessary. Inferring it's existence based on one person referenced being a Democrat. The Democratic Party, itself, was never mentioned in canon. — Morder (talk) 00:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Discussion Edit
Comment. A page like Democrat would be ok, as it is referenced in canon, though that redirects to the page in question, so was there already a page for that that was deleted? - Archduk3:talk 00:49, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

"You shall have breakfast instantly," said Bellingham, touching an annunciator, and awakening a distant electric titter somewhere.
Far away was the night nurse's desk, with its lamp, its annunciator, its pile of records.
It will be understood that, in practice, the bell is mounted on or at the annunciator, andp.
Each berth has a bell-rope communicating with a patented machine called the "annunciator."
"Enter," said a pleasant baritone voice from the annunciator.
Take out two or three screws and the annunciator opens, revealing a series of electro-magnets like the one shown in Fig. 35.
The buzzing of the annunciator, a man's voice aroused Ulick from his reverie.
The other end of this cable enters the elevator car and runs to the annunciator.
The clock had struck the three-quarters when they heard the annunciator tinkle followed by the opening of the front door.
Her horsy face, under a curling net, looked out of the annunciator plate.

FC Dallas announced Thursday that defender George John underwent successful surgery to repair his right knee this morning at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Southlake, Texas.
Dr. Michael Nguyen performed an osteoplasty of the medial femur to repair the knee, which has sidelined John throughout the 2014 season. Recovery from the procedure will keep the veteran center back out for the remainder of the season and he will be placed on the season-ending injury list, the club said in a release.
Earlier Thursday, the club announced that midfielder Hendry Thomas was also placed on the season-ending injury list, adding to a season of frequent injuries for the Texas team. Head coach Oscar Pareja told MLSsoccer.com on Wednesday that the club was lining up a move in response to the injury-hit season.
John, 27, was selected by Dallas in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft (14th overall), and has made 119 appearances for the team in league play, with six goals to his name.

MILWAUKEE, Wisc (Feb. 2)
The president of a two million-member Protestant denomination warned here today that the Arab-Israel conflict in the Middle East must not be permitted to injure relations between Jews and Christians in the United States "no matter to which side our sympathies may be directed." The Rev. Ben M. Herbster, of New York City, speaking at the ninth annual assembly of the United Church of Christ, said, "We must understand and sympathize with the earnest concern of men for their co-religionists whose welfare and lives are threatened by violence and the possibilities of renewed warfare."
Dr. Herbster also expressed regret at the growing charges and counter-charges between Jews and Negroes. "I am troubled by irresponsible charges that Jews are limiting the freedom and opportunity of black men, and the angry retorts that the great majority of black men are anti-Semitic." Dr. Herbster said. He noted that Jews have been "in the forefront of the fight for equality" and said he did not believe any large numbers of blacks "think of Jews other than as neighbors and friends."

Cases and Materials on Insurance Law, 6th (American Casebook)
The Sixth Edition of Insurance Law is characterized by extensive updates that permeate the book. While adhering to the same format, each chapter incorporates recent developments that affect substantive insurance law. Some highlights include the following: The addition of text discussing the recent decision Golden Gate Restaurant Association v. City & County of San Francisco, in which the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals upheld San Francisco's "play or pay" ordinance, which requires employers with employees covered by the ordinance to make "required health care expenditures to or on their behalf." The case has potentially far-reaching implications for ERISA preemption jurisprudence. Material on the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. Addition of the 2009 California Supreme Court's decision Delgado v. Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club of Southern California which has the potential to significantly affect the scope of an insurer's duty to defend. Coverage of New York's 2008 amendment to Insurance Law Section 3420 which provides for a nuanced approach to the conventional notice-prejudice rule commonly used in most other states. More material on various aspects of the tripartite relationship. Throughout the new edition, the addition of cases is done in the context of the same format. Where cases are deleted, the substantive points are generally preserved in notes following cases.
