Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My husband was the victim of aggravated battery and we are concerned about having our medical bills payed for. He underwent surgery for a broken jaw and now has his jaw wired shut for 3 weeks. The doctor also removed one of his wisdom teeth. We pressed charges, and are awaiting the arrest of this individual. Will we need to sue civilly or go to small claims court?
Contact the victim assistant in the District Attorney's Office for the county the warrant has been issued in. In Georgia we have a Victim's Compensation program in Georgia that may help you (see the link below). Also the prosecutor can seek restitution for any outstanding medical bills as part of any sentence the offender receives. I hope this helps.Ask a similar question
I agree, contact the victims advocates office, usually in the prosecutors office. You should be able to submit bills thru their office to the probation department and court, and have the court order, as part of sentencing.Ask a similar question
In addition to what my colleagues have said, your husband will likely be consulted by the district attorney's office in regard to any particular outcomes they propose for this criminal case against the defendant. During that time, you should make sure that the district attorney is aware of the financial damage that was done to you and your family in addition to the physical and medical damage that was done to your husband. Best of luck with this terrible and troubling situation.
The answer rendered here in no way constitutes the creation of an attorney-client relationship between the question asker and the attorney answering the question. In order for such a relationship to be created, we will have meetings together and will sign a retainer document.Ask a similar question

LAS CRUCES An unidentified El Paso man has been hospitalized after jumping out of the car his brother was driving Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 10, near the Anthony Port of Entry.
New Mexico Motor Transportation Police Lt. Janine Trujillo said the car was traveling westbound, probably close to the 75 mile-per-hour speed limit, when the man opened the passenger door and rolled out of the car. His brother, who was visiting from out of state, had tried to grab the man, hoping to keep him in the car.
Trujillo said the two were not fighting when the man leapt.
The man, whom Trujillo estimated was about 40, was airlifted to an El Paso hospital.
Shortly after 2 p.m., the New Mexico Department of Transportation announced all three westbound driving lanes would be closed due to an incident. The lanes reopened before 3 p.m., according to a report from the scene.
The car was driving in the center lane when the man jumped out. He rolled and came to rest in another driving lane but was not hit by traffic.
"He was lucky," Trujillo said.
The New Mexico Motor Transportation Police operates the port.

I see a lot of web hosts out there. I currently like vodahost. I have also used network sollutions. The issue I have now is. Who is better? I see domain names for 1.00, I also see them for 20.00. Vodahost gives you unlimited databases but doesn't have 24/7 phone support like network sollutions. Should your choice be on price or what you get? 24/7 phone support is really good, but unlimited databases is also really good. Lets not forget media temple, but they seem expensive. Why go with them?
hosting is like anything else – you get what you pay for.
Try Hostdime – been with them for about 8 yrs – also with Mediatemplae but can't say it's worth the extra over hostdime.
Unlimited databases doesn't normally break or make a deal – if you are a reseller or something like that it normally is that way anyways.
Search these forums for many previous posts discussing hosting – there are plenty.
I've been really happy lately with dreamhost, they had some problems but it was long time ago
(mt) /thread
Have to say dream host is awesome, one click installs and always helpful! As well as they always seem to have support for stuff im messing around with.
it's post2host (coming soon with paid host) but it has everything you could need, free. great community (i know).
Have to say dream host is awesome, one click installs and always helpful! As well as they always seem to have support for stuff im messing around with.
DreamHost is awesome you're right… I love them but I have curiosity about (mt)
I always throw in my recommendation for ServInt.net (who I host with) but they're a much more expensive host than Dreamhost (you get what you pay for). Lately, I've been hearing a lot of good about MT as well though.
As far as domain names go, I would not buy a domain with the same company I host with. I buy and manage all my domains through namecheap.com and it's better than any other service I've used.
When you choose a web host, your choice should be based on your needs and your budget. Check out http://www.webhostingtalk.com for host reviews, etc. You can post in the forums and get lots of help too.
I vote MediaTemple. They've been fantastic for me.

Gay Bishop: Religion Is Killing Teens
Gene Robinson, the gay bishop of the New Hampshire diocese in the Episcopal Church, writes in The Huffington Post that antigay religious leaders are responsible for bullied gay teens taking their lives.
Members of HRC's Religion Council Remind Teens that 'It Gets Better'
As part of the incredible support from all over the community during the crisis of teen suicides, the Bishop Gene Robinson and the Reverend Susan Russell loaned their voices to Dan Savage's It Gets Better Project, a resource of videos reaching out to teens across the nation to let them know firsthand that they are cared for and that there can be love and happiness in their future.
Robinson and Russell are both part of HRC's Religion Council, an advisory group of religious leaders that embodies the rich diversity of our faith communities in terms of theology, race, gender, geography and sexual orientation.
"God wants you to live in the light of God's love and that light will take away all of this darkness," said the Rt. Rev. Robinson in his video speaking to teens. "God loves you beyond your wildest imagination and only wants the best for you. Its get better, I promise. It gets so much better."
Harris County prosecutors want to know what led to the suicide of gay 13-year-old Asher Brown
This just in from The Associated Press:
HOUSTON — Prosecutors said Friday they will look into what led to the suicide of a 13-year-old Houston boy whose parents say was relentlessly bullied at his middle school for two years because of his religion and sexual orientation.
Asher Brown's parents, who claim school officials ignored their pleas for help, said they hope "justice will be served" by the investigation by the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
"Once they find out what's been hidden, we would want the people responsible to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law," said Brown's stepfather, David Truong.

Anti-gay bullying drives Houston teen to suicide; parents say school officials ignored complaints
A 13-year-old in Houston committed suicide last week in response to anti-gay bullying at school, The Houston Chronicle reports.
The parents of eighth-grader Asher Brown say he was "bullied to death" after officials at Hamilton Middle School ignored their complaints:
Brown, his family said, was "bullied to death" — picked on for his small size, his religion and because he did not wear designer clothes and shoes. Kids also accused him of being gay, some of them performing mock gay acts on him in his physical education class, his mother and stepfather said.
The 13-year-old's parents said they had complained about the bullying to Hamilton Middle School officials during the past 18 months, but claimed their concerns fell on deaf ears.
David and Amy Truong said they made several visits to the school to complain about the harassment, and Amy Truong said she made numerous phone calls to the school that were never returned.
Asher Brown shot himself with his stepfather's 9mm Beretta last Thursday. The Chronicle says Asher had come out as gay to his stepfather on the morning of his death. But KRIV-TV Channel 26 reports that Asher came out to his parents over the summer.
Unlike many states, Texas has no law that prohibits bullying and harassment on the basis of sexual orientation.
Reflecting on HRC's Religion & Faith Summer Institute
Historians will cite a few transformational gatherings as defining the shape and future of any given justice movement. The Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 was such a gathering for women's suffrage and we believe that HRC's Summer Institute for Religious and Theological Study will create its own lasting impact on the future of religious studies.
Under the searing heat of a Nashville summer in the last week of July, the Summer Institute brought together 14 graduate students from seminaries and universities around the country engaged in LGBTQ scholarship. These students were taught and mentored by some of the most renowned scholars and religious opinion leaders in the country. Along with their instructors and mentors, they bonded over the nexus of theology, religion and queer identities; they navigated collectively the pitfalls of an often harsh and unwelcoming profession; they even tackled media training; and through it all they came away envisioning a new framework for LGBTQ religious scholarship.
Theirs is a vision that begins with the premise that LGBTQ studies cannot succeed if it does not embrace the diversity of all of us in the LGBTQ and allied communities. As one of the instructors, Dr. Rebecca Alpert points out in her powerful forthcoming essay for Religious Dispatches, these students created "a coalition on the axes of race and sexuality" that was nothing short of extraordinary. The students, predominantly women and people of color, theorized the relationship between race and sexuality in ways that will have lasting influence on our understanding of LGBTQ studies and religion. Our work in the Religion and Faith program was transformed by this gathering and we know our movement will be as well. We could not be more proud of this gathering.

Cross Points series wraps up with panel on religion and the LGBT community
"We've come to the last discussion for our Cross Points summer education series," Latisha McDaniel said.
Equality March Texas presents a panel discussion on being religious (or non-religious) and being LGBT on Thursday, July 29.
The Rev. Deneen Robinson of Living Faith Covenant Church will serve as moderator. Other panelists will be Renee Gros-Reis and David Taffet (oh, that's me!)
The church has been a home that many gays cannot imagine life without, while some gays have left the institution with bitterness at the people (if not the deity). This discussion will be about the work being done in religious institutions to change the conversation from one-sided hate speech to mutual understanding to welcoming. We'll also discuss the work being done in affirming congregations. Finally, we'll look at ways in which those who aren't into church can help make sure gay religious people and their spaces are respected.
The panel begins at 7 p.m. at Resource Center Dallas.
Poll: Opposition to gay marriage drops
A new Gallup poll released today indicates that opposition to same-sex marriage continues to decline.
The poll surveyed 1,029 adults from May 3 to May 6, and found that 53 percent of Americans oppose gay marriage, and 44 percent support it.
According to RTT News, 53 percent ties Gallup's all-time low from 2007 for those opposing gay marriage. The opposition is also down 4 percent from 2009, when a poll indicated 57 percent opposed gay marriage, and 40 percent supported it.
The new poll also indicates that more Democrats than Republicans support gay marriage (big surprise there, huh?), and — believe it or not — "religion played a major role in Americans' view on gay marriage." I know, you are all floored by that revelation.
Breaking it down, RTT News reported: "Among Americans where religion is very important, 70 percent were opposed to gay marriage. Among those where it is only fairly important, 37 percent were opposed. Finally, among those where religion is not important at all, only 27 percent were opposed."
Tell me what you think …
What constitutes "hate speech"?
A large number of religious leaders opposed the recently-enacted Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Law because they said it would make it a criminal offense for them to preach in their churches that homosexuality is a sin. But is that hate speech, or a reasonable expression of religious beliefs?
I don't think the new law encroaches on anyone's ability to preach that kind of sermon. I don't think it's hate speech, although I know plenty of people disagree with me on that. Many, many people do believe that homosexuality is a sin, and surely they have the right to express that belief.
But if a preacher stands in his or her pulpit on a Sunday morning and tells the congregation that God says homosexuals should be put to death and then encourages the members of that congregation to carry out God's word — is that hate speech? Is that constitutionally protected?
Would your opinion of whether or not someone expressing their religious views constituted "hate speech" change if the person were an Imam in an Islamic extremist sect saying that the Koran teaches that the U.S. is "the great Satan" and that Allah decrees Americans should be killed, and then encouraging his followers to stage attacks to carry out Allah's decree?
Where do we draw the line? Do we draw a line at all? Should people be able to say whatever they want just because they believe a religious text tells them to? How do we decide what is "valid" religious text? Is the Bible more valid than the Koran or the Book of Mormon or the teachings of Buddha?
Tell me what you think.

Flood-stricken Harris Primary Academy Kenley will remain shut next week.
The school has been closed since February 7 amid severe flooding in Godstone Road, which has been shut for more than two weeks.
Croydon Council and Sutton and East Surrey Water have been using the academy's playing fields to hold water pumped away from the Godstone Road water treatment centre during an ongoing battle to prevent it flooding.
Harris Kenley pupils will be bussed to a primary school in Selhurst for classes next week.
The council has written to children's parents to explain why the school would remain closed after the end of the half-term break this week.
Paul Greenhalgh, director of children, families and learning, said: "Water levels in the water table in this area have not dropped significantly, and with the forecast of of further rain this week to continue with an emergency plan for the school in the period after half term."
He added: "All those involved in making these arrangements have done a great job so far so we hope you will continue to give them your full support: these are highly unusual circumstances for which we all need to do a little extra to manage the situation well."
Water has been pumped away from the treatment works onto the academy's playing fields
From Wednesday next week, free buses will carry pupils in all the academy's years except year 6 to classes at the Crescent Primary School in Selhurst.
Previously, alternative provision had been offered to the academy's year 3, 4 and 5 pupils at Woodcote Primary School and Woodcote High School.
Younger children had been given activities to do through the academy's website.
Harris Primary Academy Purley will continue to host year 6 classes.
Kate Magliocco, Harris Primary Academy Kenley's headteacher, told parents: "The situation with our site and the continuing bad weather is highly unusual but from Wednesday next week we will begin our new temporary routine at the Crescent School."

The lightly suspended roof covers an outdoor classroom, park offices and public restrooms, while also providing electricity for the facility with the help of solar photovoltaic panels. The classroom and trailhead serve as a place to learn about ecology and urban agriculture and sustainable technologies, such as the large rainwater cisterns used to store rainwater for irrigation. The pavilion and trailhead connect the park to the Salado Creek Greenway and the larger greenway system of San Antonio.

Khamenei's Dilemma
- 2009 Jun 16
Final words of a good analysis piece in today's New York Times entitled In Iran, an Iron Cleric, Now Blinking:
"Everyone speaking of Ayatollah Khamenei tends to use the word 'cautious,' a man who never gambles. But he now faces a nearly impossible choice. If he lets the demonstrations swell, it could well change the system of clerical rule. If he uses violence to stamp them out, the myth of a popular mandate for the Islamic revolution will die."

Is this expected behavior? So after a successful bindresvport(), the connect() is failing with errno EADDRINUSE or EADDRNOTAVAIL and you are hitting the goto? tryport is being decremented just before the goto so the loop should exit after a maximum of 512 times (though I'm not sure how it would loop at all with bindresvport().) If you aren't seeing the decrement, it is probably just compiler optimization. Rebuilding with -O0 might help there. You can also change the initial value of tryport to something like 515 to see if the loop exits after 3 times so it is quicker to watch. Assuming bindresvport() and connect() succeed on their first try, it is expected that tryport is never used. It is only used on OSes that don't have bindresvport().

Cards' Wainwright's returns to mound 13 months after surgery
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) – Adam Wainwright couldn't help but flash a big grin. He had plenty of reason to be happy.
Starting for the first time in over a year, Wainwright pitched two scoreless innings for the St. Louis Cardinals in a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday.
"Usually, I am real serious before a game," said Wainwright, who won 19 and 20 games in he two seasons before having elbow ligament replacement surgery last February. "Once I get kind of locked in, usually I don't have much emotion to show for guys saying, 'Let's go,' or anything like that.
"Today, when they said … on the mound today, pitcher Adam Wainwright, the crowd kind of applauded, I was out there cheering in the outfield for sure."
Wainwright struck out two and walked one in his first outing since Sept. 24, 2010.
"I haven't accomplished anything yet, but there's a sense that my rehab process is coming to an end," Wainwright said. "I'm a normal pitcher again."
Wainwright's return for the Cardinals was balanced with some potentially troubling news: ace Chris Carpenter left Friday's practice session with a sore neck. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said Carpenter as day to day.
Jason Marquis made his second start for Minnesota since coming over as a free agent in the offseason. The right-hander yielded one run on three hits and three walks over three innings, an
improvement on his four-run, three-hit debut against the Red Sox on Monday.
"It's spring training; you're allowed that time and the leeway to get beat around a little bit once in a while to figure it out," Marquis said. "I feel like I'm moving in the right direction."
For Wainwright, Friday was a huge step in the right direction. His only blemish was a walk in the second inning.
"He's competing," Matheny said. "You could tell from just the second he took the mound, just the look in his eyes and watching his demeanor, and there was nothing getting in the way of him competing. You know, these guys, this is what they do, and when you take it away from them, the opportunity to do it again brings out a little extra."
Wainwright was forced to watch last season from the sidelines as his team made a surprise run to the World Series championship.
"It's more frustrating now looking back than it was going through that," Wainwright said. "Realizing that I missed a World Series-winning team, to be able to play in it. I consider myself a competitor, so I want to be there more now than then."
Lance Berkman backed Wainwright by going 2 for 2 with a walk. Rafael Furcal added a solo home run.
Wilkin Ramirez had two hits for the Twins, who cut the deficit to one run in the ninth inning and loaded the bases but Rene Tosoni grounded out to end the threat.

Cyber-criminals could gain control of Apple iPhones simply by sending a text message, according to a renowned computer specialist who has discovered a flaw in the device.
Charlie Miller, an expert with Independent Security Evaluators, has demonstrated how a hacker could take over an iPhone simply by sending the owner a string of text messages seemingly containing a single square character. In fact, these messages contain code for an executable file that could embed itself in the device's memory.
Unless the iPhone is switched off immediately on receipt of these messages, the hacker would be able to assume control of some of the iPhone's key functions, including dialling numbers, surfing the web and sending texts. They could even gain control of the camera and microphone on the device. That could enable hackers to access sensitive personal data, or commit identity fraud.
"Someone could pretty quickly take over every iPhone in the world," warned Mr Miller. "It's scary."
The hack was revealed at a cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. Full details of exactly how the vulnerability can be exploited have not yet been released, in order to give Apple time to patch the flaw. Mr Miller said he informed Apple of the problem a month ago, but as yet, no software fix has been forthcoming.
However, security specialists said that the chance of a full-scale hack-attack against Apple iPhones using this method was unlikely. Eric Everson, an expert with MyMobiSafe, said it would take around 512 text messages to launch the attack, and if any messages were deleted before the sequence was complete, the threat would be neutralised.

Center for Sepsis Control and Care (CSCC)
The Center for Sepsis Control & Care (CSCC) is one of eight Integrated Research and Treatment Centers funded by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, BMBF). The CSCC is an institution at the Jena University Hospital (JUH) and addresses sepsis research covering all aspects of the disease and its sequelae. Topics include risk assessment, prevention, and acute care as well as long-term sequelae and rehabilitation.
The CSCC strives to
- reduce the burden of sepsis by improving diagnostics and treatment
- develop attractive career prospects in clinical research, and
- establish an optimal environment for excellent
- clinical research.
Every 3rd heartbeat someone dies of sepsis. In the developing world, sepsis accounts for 60-80% of lost lives in childhood. Those who survive, adults and children, often struggle with life. We support the goal to reduce sepsis incidence by 20% by 2020.

My favorite type of horror movies are ones involving ghosts and hauntings. I think I like them because my mind easily fills in the inferred gaps.
I expected my thirst for spooks to be quenched by An American Haunting, and to that end, it doesn't disappoint. The story is a period piece set after the American Revolution based on the novel The Bell Witch: An American Haunting, sandwiched between two short bits of a modern day mother and daughter. After her daughter has a nightmare, the mother reads a letter that accompanied a doll her daughter had found in the attic.
The letter is penned by schoolteacher Richard Powell (James D'Arcy) and tells the tale of the Bell family after they were cursed by a supposed witch.The hauntings are pretty standard: windows and doors opening on their own, covers being pulled off the bed, mysterious whispers and winds. They quickly escalate into physical attacks on the oldest Bell daughter, Betsy (Rachel Hurd-Wood). Although typical, the hauntings still managed to put me on the edge of my seat.
At least at first. Preaching to the entity seemed to do nothing, making it seem like no where was safe; I really liked that. But the haunting formula was repeated so many times during the course of the movie, it seemed to become monotonous.
The "ghost" of the movie was referred to as "the entity" because it's not clear whether they are dealing with a ghost, demon, curse, or all of the above. It manifested itself as a wolf, a little girl in a bonnet, and an inferred doppelgänger-type spirit. There's also the doll with a broken face, which didn't seem to fit in either. Well before the end, I was wishing they would pick an archetype and stick with it.
One thing that really ruins the mood of a haunting to me is laughter, especially when it's unintentional. There were several cheesy bits that really pulled me out of the movie. Early on, the supposed witch, Kathe Batts (Gaye Brown) says to John Bell (Donald Sutherland), "You, and your precious daughter too!" My mind automatically replaced it with, "and your little dog too!". With lines like that, and the literal, "We're almost out of the woods," I was often disappointed in the dialog. There's even a less-than-thrilling carriage wreck.
There was an obvious but not discussed attraction between the teacher and Betsy that gave the story a layer of depth that I liked. That is, until the possible relationship was actually discussed in disappointingly polite terms between him and her mother, Lucy Bell (Sissy Spacek).
I was the most disappointed in the ending though. The whole story was so cliche that the twist ending felt like a cop out. Although it was meant to explain the events of the movie, it didn't fit in whatsoever, and left me more confused.
All in all, An American Haunting had elements that should have made it a good ghost story, but by the end, I wasn't even questioning the bumps and thuds coming from my empty second floor.

While troops in WWI and WWII were never issued olive drab green 1911's, this Springfield Armory OD Green 1911 looks authentic in that color. The OD green finished is parkerized, meaning that it's going to be much more durable than anodized or oxide finishes.
This 1911 is fitted almost exactly like the G.I. issue pistols of decades ago. It has military-style sights, with a low, thin rear notch sight and a rounded front sight blade. It has a spur hammer, although the tip of the hammer is serrated, where the original G.I. models were smooth on top. The serrated hammer top makes accidentally letting the hammer slip less likely, so it's a good trade-off.
The grip safety is flat, just like the old G.I. models. The trigger is flat, too, and has a pull weight of 5-6 pounds.
The slide serrations are vertical, just like those on the old G.I. models, rather than the angled serrations found on most modern 1911's.
The U.S.-stamped reddish wood grip panels complement the olive drab green finish nicely.
In addition to being great replicas of the old G.I. 1911 pistols, the Springfield Armory G.I. pistols are technologically superior. The olive drab green model uses a forged steel slide and receiver that have tolerances much tighter than pistols from decades ago. The pistols are more dependable. What's more, they come with Springfield Armory's lifetime warranty.
Model number: PW9609LP
Every Springfield Armory 1911 pistol is equipped with a trigger locking device. A key inserted into a hole in the rear grip strap positively locks the trigger, making it impossible for a child to accidentally discharge the gun. This system gives you a choice as to whether or not you need to lock your gun. Unlike trigger locks on other brands of guns, the keyhole is small, so that it doesn't ruin the looks of the gun.

RENTON, Wash. -- With music blaring, the energy from the practice field is nearly as loud as the tunes. Pete Carroll has always been a high-octane guy who warmly welcomes all competition, and the Seattle Seahawks have assumed the form of their fourth-year coach.
Veterans who should be secure fear being cut. Rookies know they have a chance to start. In the gorgeous setting around the Virginia Mason Athletic Center, everything is placid -- except for the action on the field. Seattle is ready for Act 2 after playing a breakout role in 2012.
Here are five things I learned during my day in Renton:
1) The decision to start Russell Wilson has left its mark: The Seahawks' 2012 campaign began with a stunning move, as Carroll announced that Wilson -- and not free-agent signee Matt Flynn -- would be his starting quarterback. For most of us who hadn't watched the competition day in and day out, it was beyond explanation. "The fact that you guys didn't see it (made it a surprise)," Carroll told me. "The conventional wisdom was you'd never do that. But he's that good. And we could tell. He still has to go out and do it and prove it." Yes, he is that good. Wilson clearly established himself as one of the pillars of the franchise's future last season, guiding the Seahawks to an 11-5 mark and falling just short of the NFC Championship Game. Looking back on the move, Carroll said, "The bad thing would've been to not name Russell, because he was the guy. He won the job." Who cares that he was an unproven rookie? He earned it. A year later, this mentality is not lost on players. They know this: Everyone's job is simultaneously in jeopardy and attainable. One secure veteran recently went to his position coach and innocently asked if he's on the roster bubble. Meanwhile, 25-year-old corner Walter Thurmond knows he has a chance at the nickel job, despite the Seahawks signing 14-year veteran Antoine Winfield in free agency. The message is loud and clear: The depth chart is completely fluid. This is the way Carroll has always done it, but the Wilson decision really hammered home his unwavering devotion to open competition. "There comes a time when you have opportunities to really demonstrate that," Carroll said. "That was one of the best ones." The result is a stronger team with players who know they have to perform on a daily basis.
2) OK, so what's next for the Seahawks' sophomore signal-caller? One common misconception is that the Seahawks' offense is read-option based. Not true. Yes, they run some read option, but it's not the majority of their playbook. In fact, Wilson considers himself a quarterback who happens to run, not a running quarterback. This came up during my talk with creative offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. I openly wondered about what kind of adjustments Wilson will need to make, as teams gear up to stop him by diagnosing 2012 game film. Bevell seemed to move past last year to ... whatever this year's version is. "We're always looking for the next thing, the thing that can help us get better," Bevell told me. "(Read-option plays) were a small part of what we did. It wasn't a huge part of the offense. We have so many other things that we can do, that we feel like are strengths for us. It's not something that we hang our hat on. We hang our hat on running the ball, and we still have the ability to do that." Not what you're looking to hear as an opposing defensive coordinator.
3) Losing Percy Harvin stings, but Seattle can withstand it: In considering the question of how much the Seahawks "lost" when Harvin went down with a hip injury, think about this: They went on an offensive rampage in the back half of last season and won six of their final seven games (including the playoffs) without him. With Golden Tate having a strong camp and capable of playing inside, Sidney Rice back in the fold after a trip to Switzerland for a non-surgical treatment on his knee and a slew of other options at receiver (Early Doucet, Doug Baldwin, Stephen Williams), the cupboard isn't bare. "It's a loss in terms of the potential," Bevell said, "but it happened early. It wasn't like we had this whole new piece that we had to replace that has been in there a long time. We're just going as we have been." Seattle hopes Harvin can return for the stretch run, with a Dec. 2 game against the New Orleans Saints as a possible target. By the time surgery was recommended by Dr. Bryan Kelly in New York, Seattle's team doctors were behind the move, too. Everyone just wants the receiver to be healthy and productive, which they think he will be in time. Until then, the offense will simply look like last year's edition -- not the worst thing.
4) Pass rushers are waiting ... for now: The first thing I noticed upon entering the practice facility? Three key pass rushers sitting out. Cliff Avril, Chris Clemons and Bruce Irvin were all reduced to watching the action, just like the throngs of fans on the hill. "If pass rushers or corners are watching, that does not fire you up," bright new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn quipped. Both Carroll and Quinn insinuated it was a short-term problem, though. Carroll said Avril (foot) should be back next week. The head coach also praised Clemons' rehab from a torn ACL: "Whether he makes it back for the opener, I don't know. He's going to be close, anyway. That means we get him soon after." In the meantime, though, much to Quinn's delight, other players have emerged. This, you see, is the defensive boss' favorite facet of camp: "What I love about preseason is, every year it's like, 'Where did that dude come from?' " This year, two rookies have caught Quinn's eye: outside linebacker John Lotulelei from UNLV and pass rusher Benson Mayowa from Idaho. I looked quizzically as he mentioned the names, seeing as both players went undrafted in April. "You haven't heard of these guys," Quinn said, "But you will. These dudes are going for it." Of course, when you have one of the NFL's nastiest secondaries in the "Legion of Boom," getting to the quarterback becomes an easier pursuit.
5) High expectations suit this club: The Seahawks are no longer under the radar. They aren't anybody's darlings or a cool pick to splash into the playoffs. They are, simply, a very good team expected to be very good. Their world has changed. What I wanted to know from Carroll, who spends considerable energy managing his team's emotions, is how the Seahawks are handling the public's view of them. How do you prepare for such an onslaught of hype? "By, along the way, first thing picturing it was going to be like this," Carroll said. "That was in our message from the day we got here. So that when it comes, it's not a surprise. And as the attention increases and the conversation develops, you have to handle it in normal fashion and treat it like you've been there before." It's a savvy approach, one based in knowing the team will eventually succeed. Carroll's goal is to talk about it, address it, get used to it, so it'll feel normal. The division will be tough, maybe the NFL's toughest. They are OK with that. And if the Seahawks hit it big this year, the players won't be surprised, because they've been expecting it. "This conversation's been going for four years," Carroll said. "And you got to embrace it."

Robert Turbin practicing for the first time in camp. Max Unger also back. #Seahawks
Pete Carroll said James Carpenter (foot) is "still a couple weeks away from being back on the field." #Seahawks
On Avril & Miller, Pete Carroll both might still be two weeks away. Getting them back for third preseason game "not necessarily" a priority.
Christine Michael sat out with back spasms. Pete Carroll said he might be out "a little while." #Seahawks.
Carroll said LB Bruce Irvin and DT Tony McDaniel are close to returning from groin strains. Could be back later this week.
Hopefully Michael will be back soon, and Carp doesn't mysteriously end up out for the year.

950 KJR or 710 ESPN are the two big sports stations. It should most likely be on 950 KJR.

A chance, albeit quite small considering Jackson knows the offense, played well in the preseason game, and this roster is too talented to keep 3 QBs.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
All Product Details
More than 174 million Americans are gamers, and the average young person in the United States will spend ten thousand hours gaming by the age of twenty-one. According to world-renowned game designer Jane McGonigal, the reason for this mass exodus to virtual worlds is that videogames are increasingly fulfilling genuine human needs. In this groundbreaking exploration of the power and future of gaming, McGonigal reveals how we can use the lessons of game design to fix what is wrong with the real world.
Drawing on positive psychology, cognitive science, and sociology, Reality Is Broken uncovers how game designers have hit on core truths about what makes us happy and utilized these discoveriesto astonishing effect in virtual environments. Videogames consistently provide the exhilarating rewards, stimulating challenges, and epic victories that are so often lacking in the real world. But why, McGonigal asks, should we use the power of games for escapist entertainment alone? Her research suggests that gamers are expert problem solvers and collaborators because they regularly cooperate with other players to overcome daunting virtual challenges, and she helped pioneer a fast-growing genre of games that aims to turn gameplay to socially positive ends.
In Reality Is Broken, she reveals how these new alternate reality games are already improving the quality of our daily lives, fighting social problems such as depression and obesity, and addressing vital twenty-first-century challenges-and she forecasts the thrilling possibilities that lie ahead. She introduces us to games like World Without Oil, a simulation designed to brainstorm-and therefore avert- the challenges of a worldwide oil shortage, and Evoke, a game commissioned by the World Bank Institute that sends players on missions to address issues from poverty to climate change.
McGonigal persuasively argues that those who continue to dismiss games will be at a major disadvantage in the coming years. Gamers, on the other hand, will be able to leverage the collaborative and motivational power of games in their own lives, communities, and businesses. Written for gamers and nongamers alike, Reality Is Broken shows us that the future will belong to those who can understand, design, and play games.
A visionary game designer reveals how we can harness the power of games to boost global happiness.
With 174 million gamers in the United States alone, we now live in a world where every generation will be a gamer generation. But why, Jane McGonigal asks, should games be used for escapist entertainment alone? In this groundbreaking book, she shows how we can leverage the power of games to fix what is wrong with the real world-from social problems like depression and obesity to global issues like poverty and climate change-and introduces us to cutting-edge games that are already changing the business, education, and nonprofit worlds. Written for gamers and non-gamers alike, Reality Is Broken shows that the future will belong to those who can understand, design, and play games.

Mises Daily Articles
Il libertarismo arriva in Italia — Revolution Comes to Italy
[Sandro Scoppa of the Vincenzo Scoppa Foundation reports that the Italian municipality of Soverato will name an important street after Ludwig von Mises. More than thirty years ago, Ralph Raico announced some of the early signs of the libertarian movement in Italy. This article was originally published as "Il libertarismo arriva in Italia — Revolution Comes to Italy" in Libertarian Review (May 1978), p. 28.]
The Revolution Was, said Garret Garrett, meaning that the irreversible state-socialist transformation of America had already occurred. The Revolution Will Be, some of my optimistic libertarian friends tell me, meaning that libertarianism is truly the idea whose time has come. One tends to be a little skeptical — on the political level, at least, things seem mostly to be going the other way. But perhaps those optimistic friends are on to something. There is, after all, the surprisingly favorable response that libertarianism encounters from people in all walks of life; there is the person one increasingly comes across who gives every evidence that this idea has changed his or her life.
In mid-March I received in the mail a copy of a new magazine. It was entitled Claustrofobia1 and was well made; I leafed through it. What immediately caught my eye were some very familiar faces: Murray Rothbard, Ed Crane at the 1977 Libertarian Party National Convention in San Francisco, Dave Bergland, John Hospers, Nathaniel Branden, Tibor Machan, Mary Louise Hanson (the secretary of the national party), others. Names leapt up at me from the text: Rothbard, Ayn Rand, Roy Childs, Thomas Szasz, Robert Heinlein. Then I noticed that the text was in Italian. What is this?
Claustrofobia is a monthly magazine published in Rome by Riccardo La Conca and some friends. The issue I had in my hands was of February 1978, Year 1, Number 1. A 32-page, professional-looking job, it contained an editorial, "The Fever of Liberty," which explained the name of the magazine. The name derives — it's obvious when you think about it — from the state of mind a libertarian must experience living in a society such as Italy, where intellectual life is dominated by priests, Communists, and a few timid liberals.
There were other articles by La Conca, and translations of Sharon Presley's essay on feminism and of Libertarian Party position papers — by Murray Rothbard on inflation and Dave Nolan on "Pot, Helmets, and Vitamins." The latter, from what I could make out (I had edited the originals), were quite good — either La Conca or someone else out there has a professional translator's knowledge of English.
From Reason, there was Rollins's "Lucifer's Lexicon" and Hylkema's comic strip, rendered into Italian. There were the classifieds ("Signorina libertaria attraente, simpatico"), an ad for a punk-rock disco in Rome, and a house ad urging the reader to "Support free trade … Smuggle!" On the back cover was a notice for a libertarian radio station broadcasting at 88 megahertz FM in Rome.
La Conca's lead article, "Who are the Libertarians?" proved to be intelligent and displayed a truly astonishing knowledge of libertarian ideas and of the American libertarian movement. Among the works cited are Karl Hess's article "The Death of Politics," Franz Oppenheimer's The State, Rand's Atlas Shrugged, Rothbard's For a New Liberty and Power and Market, Hospers's Libertarianism, Roy Childs's "An Open Letter to Ayn Rand," Albert Jay Nock's Our Enemy the State.
La Conca points out that part of Rothbard's achievement is that, to the antistatist philosophy of 19th-century thinkers like Spooner and Tucker, he has "united a scientific approach in economic questions … incorporating … the doctrines of the Austrian school of economics of Hayek and von Mises."
La Conca goes on to discuss with some sophistication the differences between Szasz and Branden on psychology. A number of Szasz's works, it turns out, have been translated into Italian, including The Manufacture of Madness and Ceremonial Chemistry, La Conca's exposition of Szasz's principal ideas is necessarily brief, but reveals an easy familiarity. The author is familiar even with libertarian-oriented science fiction, mentioning, besides Heinlein, Eric Frank Russell and Poul Anderson. He even knows Ira Levin's novel This Perfect Day. Who is this?
A photo accompanies another essay by La Conca, "Conceiving the Inconceivable," which I have translated here. It shows him to be young, intense, handsome. The essay itself is well-reasoned, with a particular bent toward philosophy. There is a really moving part, when La Conca tells of what the discovery of the American libertarian movement meant to him:
In our country, a libertarian is a Martian, a one-hundred-percent foreigner. His break with his surroundings is so total that he lives always on the borders of psychic disintegration. I myself have experienced this lacerating experience, in conceiving the inconceivable. What removed me from this situation, in part, was the casual reading of an article on the Libertarian Party of the United States in an Italian magazine. The article was critical and ironical, but for me reading it constituted a great event. It was like the discovery of a piece of terra firma, of a kind of ideological homeland for a philosophically displaced person. After reading that article, I knew that I was not alone. I knew I had companions in the faith, even if they were across the ocean. I knew that my madness — If that's what it was — was shared by others.
Yes, something out of a novel, but sometimes, at least, nature does imitate art. So, across the ocean — hello, friend.

MANAMA returned to the summit of Bahrain basketball last night after an agonising six-year absence.
Arguably the most successful team in the game nationally, the boys in blue were yesterday crowned champions of this year's Zain Bahrain Basketball League.
They clinched their crown after defeating arch-rivals Muharraq 67-64 in a tightly contested, see-saw affair at a jam-packed Zain Basketball Arena in Um Al Hassam. The result closed out the best-of-five championship series 3-1, and it secured Manama's capture of a superb league-and-cup double this season.
Manama, coached by Tony Vujanic of Serbia, claimed the 17th league title overall and first since 2006. It was a fitting ending to their storybook run, as they dethroned the defending champions in a gruelling and massively exciting match-up.
"We are all very happy," Manama's Senegalese professional and former NBA player Pape Sow told the GDN after the game.
"The team has been waiting six seasons to get to this point, and to finally be here after fighting so hard to achieve our goal is very rewarding."
Manama court general Mohammed Hussain added: "It's great to be the league champions again after so long. We have won the cup a few times these past years, but getting the league title is always extra special.
"We thank all our supporters and everyone who loves Manama basketball for helping inspire us to fulfill our dreams."
Mohammed Hassan poured in a game-high 24 points while Hussain added 21 as they spearheaded Manama to the victory.
Hassan, who was a Muharraq star before moving to Manama, torched his old team by scoring the go-ahead basket that gave his side a 66-64 lead with only a half-minute remaining.
Muharraq's Ahmed Al Derazi then missed a game-tying attempt on the other end, and Hussain grabbed the rebound and was fouled with just 10.6 seconds to go.
Hussain made one of two free-throws, but Muharraq did not call a timeout after the missed second shot, and veteran big man Ahmed Malallah was forced to rush the ball down the length of the court and take a desperation three-pointer from well beyond the arc with the hopes of forcing overtime. His shot was well off, however, and even though Muharraq regained possession with 0.1 seconds remaining, it was too little too late and the result was already decided.
Sow added 13 points for Manama, while Ahmed Abdulaziz had five and Hassan Nairouz four. Manama were able to take down last year's champions despite missing the services of inspirational frontcourt tandem Mohammed Qurban and Ahmed Al Mutawa for the entire finals.
Muharraq's naturalised Bahraini big man CJ Giles scored 22 points to lead his team in yesterday's loss. Al Derazi finished with 18, while Bader Abdulla Malabes contributed 15 points and Malallah six.
"We knew from the start that we were going to win the league and the cup this year," Sow said. "It was all about our team believing in ourselves and fighting through the obstacles.
"Thank God we were able to do it and this victory is for our fans, who have supported us from day one."
Manama Club chairman Zuhair Kazerooni and team captain Mahmood Ghuloom received the league trophy from Bahrain Basketball Association president Adel Al Asoomi during last night's awarding ceremony. Bahrain Olympic Committee acting general secretary Abdulrahman Askar was also on hand, along with Zain Bahrain public relations specialist Ghazi Radhi and other officials.
Manama led 16-14 at the end of the first quarter after Abdulaziz scored with a driving lay-up. Malabes then made a fine fade-away jumper that helped Muharraq take a 26-24 lead into the locker rooms after a low-scoring first half.
Six straight points from Giles then put Muharraq ahead 36-30 in the third, and Muharraq later took a 48-44 lead into the final canto.
Malallah's second triple of the game then made it 51-44 for Muharraq with around seven minutes remaining, but then American head coach Charlie Parker chose to rest Giles momentarily as he had four fouls.
Manama then roared back with a 10-0 run capped by a Hassan three-pointer with Giles on the bench.
But while Muharraq would answer, it was clear that Manama had regained the momentum and their players came up biggest in the end.
Two Al Derazi free-throws tied the game for the last time at 64-all with 48.9 seconds remaining. That paved the way for the late heroics from Manama's Hassan and Hussain.

Châteauguay, January 20, 2014 – Claude Haineault, President of the Conseil intermunicipal de transport du Sud-Ouest and Mayor of Beauharnois, issued a press release today announcing major improvements to both weekday and weekend public transit services in Beauharnois, Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and Léry, starting on February 2.
The main improvements include the addition of eight daily weekday departures, i.e., five from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield to Angrignon metro, four of which will leave from Collège de Valleyfield. There will also be three new departures from Angrignon to Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. Two new express buses will also be added, one in the morning to downtown and the other back to Salaberry-de-Valleyfield in the afternoon.
For Mr. Haineault, "these improvements are part of our commitment to offer public transit users an improved service that better meets their needs, while ensuring sound budget management."
The following Monday-Friday additions will ease travel for CITSO users:
- Morning rush hour: Addition of five new buses leaving from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
- Afternoon rush hour: Addition of three new buses leaving from Angrignon metro.
- Morning and afternoon rush hours: Addition of an express bus from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield to downtown in the morning, and the opposite in the afternoon, saving passengers 30 minutes of travel time.
Weekend public transit users will be happy to learn that CITSO is adding two new buses on both Saturdays and Sundays: an additional 3:25 p.m. bus to Angrignon metro, and a 4:40 p.m. bus to Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
"All of these improvements will mean users will have more than 21 weekday buses to Angrignon to choose from, compared to the current 16, and 21 buses back to the south shore from downtown, compared to 18 now. For weekend users, the buses to Angrignon will increase from 12 to 13, and the number of buses departing Angrignon from 13 to 14," declared Mr. Haineault.
CITSO is demonstrating sound management by increasing the number of departures, making available routes more efficient, and abolishing the least travelled ones.
In fact, the Route 1 bus from Beauharnois to downtown Montréal had an average of only two passengers at 5:20 a.m. and five passengers at 6 a.m. The 3:35 p.m. return bus had an average of only six passengers, the 4:35 p.m. bus just five passengers, and the 5:20 p.m. bus only one rider.
"Given the current portrait of public finances and the desire to provide better service to more users, these measures seemed both logical and necessary," concluded Mr. Haineault, who also pointed out that Route 1 riders will be able to transfer to Route 28 every five minutes during rush hour.
For the new proposed schedules, visit the CITSO website at http://citso.org/en/route-listings-schedule/

Disappointed, stressed and hungry - after our stay!
Tried to eat at the restaurant at 8.30pm but told it was closed for a private party (we were not told this at check-in).
Ordered room service which was a colossal nightmare from start to finish - overcharged but they said we were using an out-of-date hotel menu (it was the only one in our room!!) Food went cold trying to get this rectified so in the end we didn't pay - but for the stress we went through and number of staff we had to speak to (who were also very hard to get hold of) it just wasn't worth. No apology the next morning nor much interest in how our stay was. Nearly didn't get a parking space - we were not told it was first-come, first serve and you were not allowed to pre-book. Room ok but a few broken items - felt more like a Travelodge than previous stays at other Hilton hotels. Not a patch on where we stayed last year and will be returning to that hotel next year - definitely avoid the Hilton. Birmingham has so many lovely hotel that the Hilton should not get complacent and it needs to step up it's game.

I have the CP working just fine with a small test redirect page. I don't
use any authentication so all my users have to do is click the button that
they accept the terms. However, when I add all the content to my redirect
page (about one full page of text with minor formatting) the redirect always
I worked through this little by little and the only thing I found that makes
any sense is that the page has too much text in it. If I hack it down to a
single small paragraph then it works fine but as soon as I get past that
"magic" number it fails. This problem exists on both IE7 and Firefox so I
don't believe it's a browser issue.
I'm running 1.3b4. Does anybody have any idea what might be causing this?
It's going to be a real problem for me if I can't get this working.
