Mary McAleese
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
President for Life Mary Patricia McAleese (born 27 June 1951) is the de facto "Leader" of the Republic of Ireland. She is tremendous in stature, standing 6 foot 11 inches in height and is reported to weigh around 19 stones (266 pounds), with fiery red hair and testicles like a racehorse. She is Ireland's second female "Leader" and the world's first woman to succeed another woman as an elected head of state.
Her North American name is Mayor Hairy Muck Alicia due to a misunderstanding which is common there, referred to as "deafness".
edit History
McAleese was originally named Jimmy "Justin" Tyme after being dropped down the chimney of her future family in Ardoyne, Belfast by a soon-to-retire stork which collapsed and suffered a stroke soon after. Her family was forced to leave the area by 11 angry midgets when the Troubles broke out. She was educated at St. Dominic's School for the Utterly Inebriated, the Queen's University of Belfast (from which she graduated in 1973 but later had the degree revoked due to an altercation with the Queen, see section below), and Trinity College Dublin. She was called to the Northern Ireland Bar in 1974 but was ordered to leave again as it was all a big joke.
During the same decade she acted as legal advisor to, and a founding member of, the Campaign for Homosexual Law Reform, but she left this position in 1979 when she had a sex change to become a woman. In 1976 she married Martin McAleese. He (Martin McAleese) was a member of the Catholic Church Epiglottis Delegation to the New Ireland Forum in 1984 and a member of the Catholic Church delegation to the Northern Ireland Commission on Contentious and Silly Parades in 1996.
McAleese trained within a secretive chapter of the Irish Catholic Church, the Catholic Organization for Complete Knowledge Fudging and Assimilation of Cultchie Eejits (COCKFACE) in isolation from friends and family for several years (just like Batman did with those Monk lads in the mountains in Batman Begins), and it is this intense training regime which allowed her to intimidate and rape her rivals in politics and to repel anyone who may try to challenge her.
McAleese was born in Belfast, becoming the first Irish "Leader" to come from Northern Ireland. Prior to becoming president she was a barrister, journalist, goat, academic and fig.
edit Presidency
McAleese rose to power in 1997 after a bloody coup which saw her predecessor gunned down in her night gown in the GPO. A massive death match occurred in Dublin's St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre the following morning, during which She slaughtered Fin nAg Whael's (clearly evil and mildly retarded or at least a little mentally hilarious) Enda Kenny by feeding him his own legs. Mary is one hell of a fuckin' fighter.
Mary rules Ireland with an iron fist, her shear physical dominance leaving her untouchable.
No longer a very popular figure in Ireland she is rarely seen in public but instead hides out in her castle much like her half-sister, Enya. The photo (right) shows one few modern photos of her on a sunny day in 2005, note the look of pure disgust on her face as some peasant children play too close to her demesne (she later ate all four children).
In July 2006, McAleese had an arranged audience with the Queen of England during this progressive meeting Mary invited The Queen to a threesome in Áras an Uachtaráin with the taoiseach at the time Bertie Aherne to help improve the relations between the nations, the Queen gracefully accepted the offer and the three of them retired to Áras an Uachtaráin for a night of intense sex followed by a press conference the next morning where the Queen would discuss her her first sexual encounter with "the paddy" . The international media waited outside Áras an Uachtaráin with baited breath all night to see how what the experience was like and to see did the Queen enjoy her first sexual encounter with Irish people. The Queen stumbled out the front door of Áras an Uachtaráin with a big sexy dirty smile on her wrinkly face and the look that she had been rode hard to announce to the world that she hadn't had a moments sleep and that she had cum five times that night a record for her and that Bertie Aherne cum tasted like "fine English duck" . Irish and British people everywhere rejoiced. Since the steamy night the two nations had put their differences aside for a little sexual healing and "the troubles" have stoped and relations between the two countries have never been better.

GeneralAssembly/6C: Statement by Legal Advisor Ambassador Ney on Protection of persons in the event of disasters
" Madam Chairwoman/Mr Chairman,
Germany welcomes and supports the sixth report of the Special Rapporteur on "Protection of persons in the event of disasters" and the encompassing draft articles 5 ter and 16. As previously, the Special Rapporteur again offers a well-structured and informative report. We especially welcome the elaborate assessment of practice by States and international organizations. We would also like to thank the drafting committee for its work and we welcome the two draft articles proposed.
Draft articles
We support the reference in draft article 16 to the duty of each state to reduce the risk of disasters by taking the necessary and appropriate measures. It is helpful to clarify that disaster risk reduction measures include the conduct of risk assessments, the collection and dissemination of risk and past loss information, and the installation and operation of early warning systems.
Concerning draft articles 14 and 15, in our view more scope should be given to the discretion of the states involved.
On the 6th Report
just a small, but important point:
Concerning the assessment of practice by States and international organizations included in the report, we want to point out that Article 222 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union refers primarily to the political obligation of the Union and its member states to provide solidarity in cases of a terrorist attack, natural or man-made disaster. In this light, the report's focus on the ordinary legislative procedure of the Union seems out of place.
General Remarks
The project at hand is now well advanced. Given the fact that collecting and analysing existing practice in order to elucidate lex lata is already an enormous challenge, it would be wise for the ILC to abstain from any attempt to develop new rules de lege ferenda.
For two reasons:
First, such an attempt would be highly controversial.
Second, we must be very clear: There is no legal obligation on third States or international organizations to provide the affected State with assistance. Nevertheless there is no doubt of the importance of voluntary assistance in case of natural or made-made disaster.
In general, in our view the final outcome of the project can only be a set of recommendations supporting domestic legislation to establish effective national systems of disaster prevention, preparedness and response rather than a proposal on a binding international instrument.
Madam Chairwoman/Mr Chairman,
Germany continues to follow this project with great interest.
Thank you!"

You can take ice cream, literally hard as a brick, and their ice cream scoop will cut right through it with barely any effort at all. The thing I love most about it, is their handle. When I used to use the ice cream scoops with liquid in the handle, they would only work on some ice creams and my hand would always slip on the metal.

Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Discussion Board → Members' Cafe → My personal case study & history of cholangiocarcinoma treatment
Thanks for your concern, be sure to say hi to your mom for me.
In the next few weeks, i will spend more time on FDA related issues.
God bless.
Dear Percy.
I just saw this thread this evening. Although I read the original entry previously, I re-read it from the beginning through to the most recent updates.
I apologize for bothering you with nonsense regarding the TCM/CAM topic while you are going through such a trying time. I might suppose you would say it is a distraction, but I want to apologize none the less. You post so many entries, I never noticed this thread. It is hard to keep up with you
A few points I would like to make:
- Yes, kind sir, you DO deserve such kind words. I cannot imagine where I would be without your diligence in researching this disease process. Learning the information you have shared makes me look far more intelligent than I really am! (I even wow'ed the nurses today at the office, giving credit to you even though they don't know who you are.)
- Indeed, you are an instrument of God, a fine tuned instrument at that. And for that I am deeply grateful.
Please take care of yourself. Although I haven't met you, I have a deep respect for you and the work you do that benefits this site. Although there are only three Cholangio patients in our oncology practice, I made copies of the brochure to be made available to anyone at the practice that would be interested...just in case. This site is a God send, and a wealth of information and support.
Take Care and Be Well, Renée
(Sorry to be so word-y!)
Hi, Renee,
There is no need to apologize . It is my desire to answer issues that I know and skip the others that I do not know or the issues are better served by other members of this board.
Thanks for your compliment, as you have already known, I am only an instrument of God ,whatever he wants me to do or not to do is in His hands. I sound ,but indeed I have no control over the matter, including my disease. I just follow His instructions.
God bless.
Thank you as always, Percy. Your account is fascinating and helps all of us navigating in our own little ships through these same shoals. I am so impressed at how well you advocate for yourself and how dispassionate you sound though I know it can be terrifying because I live it too. Thank you for all your postings, articles and helpful comments. You are a treasure.
Many thanks for that Percy.
Thanks Percy!!! seems like I will ask my wife do have more scan than what the Dr. ask her to do... the Dr. arranged her to do Pets every half year only, and blood test and marker every 3months from now on..
Hi, everyone,
If interested,I have just updated my medical history(the underlined sentences).
God bless.
Where is your medical history update? Is everything going ok with you?
Hi, everyone,
It is the first message under this topic. just in case here is the link.

God bless.
Hi Percy,
Many thanks indeed for updating your medical history. Hope you're managing to stay warm as well right now as no doubt things are getting rather chilly over your way!
Stay strong, and warm!
Hi, everyone,
I developed stomach pain,back muscle pain and therefore cannot sleep at night for more than a month after my last trip to Mayo clinics for RFA treatment.2/7/2014.
I do not think the RFA help either.I will have another appointment with Mayo in late April .
The recent PET scan shown disease progress and therefore the furure does not looks bright. I will have another PET in 4 weeks. I refuse GEM/cis or other IV chemotherapy or targeted treatment but I will accept the oral form of TKI.
Sorry not to inform all of you earlier.
All in all, I will choose quality of life over quantity of life,especially after last month's stomach pain,back muscle pain and sleepless nights;it is no fun at all.
I need hospice info, when can I start,what to expect,what kind of services that I can have? please inform.
Also info about setting up estate trust or anyone you can recommend for me ?
What else do I miss so far? please give your ideas. thanks
God bless all of you.
Oh Percy, it is so hard to write this to you! First of all if you tell your ONC he will set up an interview for you with Hospice who will come see you at your home. You can usually start anytime up to a year. To start with because of your discomfort you might want a hospital bed as they really are more comfortable. Also get a lambs sheet for under your back as it adds to the comfort. Then, as things move along you just add anything you want like a walker, wheel chair, commode and I even ordered Oxygen for T toward the end as it seemed to relax him. They will also order all your Meds.
As for an estate attorney, a lawyer I had referred me to one. You might ask some of the Doctors at the Hospital if they know of someone reputable and most of it can be taken care of by mail, at least I did. Or if you would be having a simple estate the office stores like Office Max have sets of them and then it just needs to be notarized.
I am glad this post is over as it is the hardest post I have ever done and for now that says it all. I wrote this pulling on your strength, Percy!
Oh, Percy, such a hard post to read. I am so sorry for what you are dealing with. I hate this disease! I understand your wanting quality of life as opposed to quantity of life.
I am sorry I cannot help with your questions. I just want you to know I'm sending lots of love, prayers and strength to you.
Percy....first and foremost I wish for the oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) to be effective. Not sure whether a treatment such as this this would qualify you for Hospice or whether palliative care would be more appropriate.
The rest pertains to everyone with an illness or not:
1. a living will - names someone to make decisions when you are not able to do so at end of life
2. health care power of attorney - names someone to make healthcare decisions when you are not able to do so.
The above legal instruments can be handled without legal counsel however; it should be notarized.
Given that you want to protect your assets you would want to consult with a Trust Attorney.
A trust is a legal arrangement in which you name someone or more than one person to manage the assets placed in the trust. Trusts can range from simple to complex depending on their purpose. Assets include real estate, cash, bonds, stocks, etc.
With a heavy heart,
Dear Percy,
This makes me so sad. I can't help you out as we didn't deal with any of this since Jim died so quickly. Everything went so fast we had no time to think of or worry about any of that. Never even had time to get hospice involved. I do agree with your choice of quality over quantity at this point.
Sounds like you have already gotten some good advice and I am sure there will be more forth coming.
You have been such a rock and wealth of information to all on this site and anything that we can do to help and support you, we are here for you, too.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and I wish you strength, comfort & peace.
Love & Hugs,
Hi Percy,
I am very sorry to hear this turn. Constant stomach and back pain sounds awful, and lack of sleep for a month must be terrible. I hope you find some relief soon. Being miserable for that amount of time changes your perspective.
Given all you have endured, I completely understand the decision to focus on quality of life. I have no experience with hospice, so I can't really help there. One thing I have given a lot of thought to is what would I want to do if Andrea fails the more standard treatment regimes. I am sure you have pondered this much more than I have, but I want to write it anyway in case it is even a little helpful. Here is my rough plan:
1. Add losartan to a previous working chemotherapy. Based on my understanding coagulation sometimes helps cancer cells develop a tolerance for chemo. As a blood pressure medicine, Losartan combats this tolerance. In the specific research I saw, Losartan + 5FU was much better than 5FU alone treating a pancreatic cell line.
http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2013/13100 … s3516.html
I am not sure if you would consider more Xeloda (and I can't tell if it went from working to not working for you). If Andrea were tolerating Xeloda, I would try and add Losartan since it seems to me it has upside with very little downside.
2. Immune response trials - I was encouraged by the lecture Dr. Ferrone gave at the stakeholders meeting. I did not realize that cholangio triggered a relatively strong immune response. This leads me to favor immune based trials if available. The NIH TIL trial is out due to age, but Dr. Ferrone mentioned MGH was soon to be opening a new trial based on their research. I have no idea how long "soon" is, but perhaps there is a way to find out if this is imminent or not? If so, that would be a trial I would strongly consider.
3. Genetic marker trial - You said you had TP53 and CDKN2A/B. Dr. Javle mentioned a couple of trials. Are there any trials that might target these mutations but maintain a good quality of life? Perhaps you could start and stop if you react badly?
I really hope you are able to treat your symptoms and feel better soon. Due to stomach pain, Andrea was only able to tolerate tiny amounts of food/liquid for 3 weeks during her IMRT radiation. With those types of symptoms nothing matters but feeling better.
All the best Percy,
I am so sorry to read this post from you and to hear what you are going through. Like the others, I too am reading this with a very heavy heart. I too so agree with what you are saying regarding quality of life over quantity and my dad chose that as well from the start.
Getting the pain under control is of the utmost importance I would argue and if that can be done then hopefully you will be able to get some sleep. From my dad's experiences I know it is so horrible not getting any sleep at nights at all. When he was in hospice care he had the hospital bed and that helped a lot, plus under that he had a water filled mattress that would move as he did and he said it gave him a lot of support and comfort. He would get pain shots in his chest when he wanted and that dealt with the pain that he would get very well. He was also getting his meds through a syringe driver and that helped a lot as well. They would change the meds over a 24 hour cycle and i know he benefited from that.
You know if I can help in any way what so ever I will. Thinking of you right now my friend.
Hi Percy,
I'm so sorry to read such a sad post. You, who do so much for all of us. I understand choosing quality over quantity of life. I am getting to that point and it's not an easy decision for me. I want to live but not like this.
You have been so helpful to us, getting us information to help us with our issues with this horrible disease.
I can only wish you the best and keep you in my prayers. You do so much for everyone. I hope the the oral TKI helps and gives you quality of life.
Best wishes and prayers to you.
Love, Peace & Prayers coming your way!
Dear Percy, I am so sad to read your post and how sick you have been. You give so much of yourself to all of us. I so wish that you can get some treatment soon.Don't worry about us, just get better! I will pray for you.Would a transplant be an option for you? We just got the letterthat my husband is listed on the tp lit. It really is his only option since his liver is just not working well enough. We have to try this it is his only chance and e feel good about it.
Hi, everyone,
Thanks for your concern
God bless.
I too am sorry to hear how painful this past month has been for you. I hope you find some relief. I applaud you for writing such a difficult post. The decisions you are facing are truly challenging. You have always found ways to guide others as they were going through their difficult periods. I know everyone you've touched would do all they can in your time of need.
I agree with the hospice information provided above and would add please make sure you are very comfortable with the hospice nurse. If not, request someone else. The nurse plays a huge role in your comfort.
Please know we are thinking of you and will be praying for you.
Best wishes,
Carl and Lynn
Dearest Percy,
I am so sad to read that you have been in pain and getting no sleep. I pray that God gives you some rest and relief from your pain. You are such a dedicated advocate for CC and your research and help is wonderful. Thank you for always answering my questions and taking the time to explain them in terms I can understand.
Sending continued prayers of healing and peace.
I just logged on and am sad to hear you have been suffering since your last RFA. Don't have anything to add about hospice or legal issues to what's been mentioned already. I just want you to know my heart is with you. I pray that you will find proper medications for pain relief so you can get some sleep. This seems like an important and immediate goal.
A huge hug,
Dear Percy,
I just wanted to say how sorry I am that this disease has progressed in this way for you. I admire your bravery and choosing quality of life. You have given so much of your vast knowledge and support to those in need here.
Dear Percy,
It is with deep sadness and a very heavy heart that I respond to your post. I am sitting here thinking about the many conversations we had at numerous ASCO and DDW conventions - one that really stands out in my mind is the long breakfast conversation at DDW a year and a half ago. I still make the soup you told me about - they are getting to know me very well at the Asian market.
I hope that you are able to get some relief for the pain and are then able to get some rest. You have been an inspiration to me and many others. Your dedication and support to so many is truly amazing. I will keep you in my prayers, my friend.
Sending healing thoughts and hugs from New Hampshire,

The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by offender reentry and recidivism reduction. "Reentry" is not a specific program, but rather an evidence- based process that starts when an offender is initially incarcerated and ends when the offender has been successfully reintegrated in his or her community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes the delivery of a variety of evidence-based program services for every program participant in both a pre- and post-release setting designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful. The Reentry Program for Adult Offenders with Co-Occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Health Disorders is designed to improve outcomes for adults with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders through the provision of appropriate evidence-based services and treatment during and after incarceration in prison or jail.

Airbus is looking at increasing planned production for the largest member of its A350 family to power its next important struggle with Boeing for a lucrative corner of the jet market, two people familiar with the matter said.
The plans came as Airbus inaugurated its assembly factory for the A350 in Toulouse, southwest France, last week, which is being developed at an estimated cost of $US15 billion.
The lightweight carbon-composite aircraft is Airbus's answer to two categories of Boeing long-haul jet: the 787 Dreamliner, which pioneered the large-scale of fuel-saving materials, and the more traditional metallic but still popular 365-seat 777.
The largest variant, the 350-seat A350-1000, will allow Airbus to compete directly with the twin-engined 777 "mini-jumbo". The duel is shaping as the next major aviation battle, with sales of up to 2000 jets at stake over the next 20 years.
Airbus blames a shortage of delivery slots for slow sales of the A350-1000, which has notched up 88 orders and seen several cancellations since launch, though its US rival claims Airbus was wrong to try to compete in two segments with one plane.
Raising production would free up more slots to be sold.
"Airbus is looking at ways of increasing A350-1000 production," a person familiar with the matter said.
It was not immediately clear whether this would be at the expense of production for the two smaller models of A350 or mean an increase in total production. There has been speculation the A350-800 could be scaled back to focus on larger models.
A spokeswoman for EADS subsidiary Airbus declined specific comment on production for the A350-1000, but said production for the overall series - officially known as the A350 XWB - was designed to accommodate changes in demand.
"The A350 XWB final assembly line is designed to be flexible and to be able to produce all three members of the A350 family (-800, -900, -1000)," the spokeswoman said by email.
"We are working on a ramp-up to 10 per month to be reached four years after the first A350 XWB delivery and are constantly and closely following market trends so that we anticipate and adapt our production to meet our customers' needs."
At first, Airbus will focus on production of the 314-seat A350-900, the best-selling of all three A350 models and one designed to compete head-to-head with the 787 Dreamliner.
Airbus says the A350 will take to the skies in the summer of 2013 and enter service in the second half of 2014, a year later than originally scheduled. Three different models of the aircraft will seat between 270 and 350 people.
The first A350-1000 is due in 2017 but it is sold out until late-decade.
The competing 787 Dreamliner went into service in Japan a year ago after complications with a ground-breaking production system and global supply chain delayed its first deliveries by three years.
Even before last week's inauguration, the 74,000-square metre Toulouse plant has been building the first A350 that will never fly but will be shaken apart in stress tests.
Full production will now begin in earnest ahead of next year's maiden flight, rising to 10 planes a month by late 2018.
Airbus is locked in a psychological battle with Boeing over the A350-1000, which was recently beefed up with a more powerful Rolls-Royce engine to improve payload and range.
Boeing produces seven 777s a month and plans to lift this to 8.3 after a record sales streak for the jet, which was extended by a $US4.5 billion Turkish Airlines order on Monday.
But even the 777's industry fans acknowledge the 1990s metal design will eventually face headwinds from the A350-1000's lighter design, and Boeing has been toying for months with a 777 revamp that includes less thirsty engines and new wings.
While Boeing is under pressure from top buyers such as Emirates to firm up its plans for the 777X, as the tentative new version is known, Airbus is under pressure to score quick sales of the A350-1000 to recoup lost momentum. It says the plane offers significant savings over the current 777.
After a flurry when the A350 was launched in 2007, sales of the 350-seat A350-1000 went quiet until Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific placed a new order for 10 and upgraded orders for 16 of the smaller A350-900 model in July.
Industry analysts say that as well as pushing new sales, Airbus is actively trying to persuade buyers of its smaller A350-900 to trade up in pursuit of more payload and range, and a further rejigging of the order backlog cannot be ruled out.
On Tuesday last week, French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault fought through fog and an air traffic control strike to fly to Toulouse, southwest France, to name the plant after "Father of Airbus" Roger Beteille, a pioneer of twin-engined long haul passenger jets.
Germany is withholding half of an estimated 1.2 billion euro A350 development loan to voice unease over jobs.
The United States has accused Europe of ignoring recent World Trade Organisation rulings by subsidising the aircraft through development loans, while Germany has withheld part of its share of the loans in a row with Airbus over jobs.

PRIME Minister Julia Gillard said Australia had worked closely with President Obama and his administration over the past four years, adding ''I look forward to continuing this friendship''.
The government is relieved at the status quo result as it heads into its own election year; a Romney presidency could have created new international uncertainty.
Ms Gillard said that US leadership ''remains vital to meeting global challenges: international financial stability and global economic growth, peace and security, and the impacts of our changing climate''. She said the two countries would work together on the United Nations Security Council in 2013-14 during Australia's term as a non-permanent member.
''Australia and the United States are unique partners,'' she said.
In a briefer congratulatory statement, Tony Abbott said: ''The United States is Australia's largest and most important ally and Australia can look forward to a continuation of the best possible relations.''
Foreign Minister Bob Carr predicted that in his second term Mr Obama would try to revive international talks on climate change and that he would "focus tightly" on Iran and non-proliferation.
He told ABC Radio that Mr Obama might also look to push for a "two-state solution" in the Middle East.
Senator Carr also expressed hope that the US would find a solution to the so-called "fiscal cliff" looming at the end of the year.
"[We've] got to hope that there are enough people on both sides of American politics to reach across the aisles of the Senate and the House of Representatives to do a deal ... to see that America can curb that deficit."
Senator Carr congratulated Mr Obama on his election victory as well as the American people for their participation in the vote.
"There's nothing like a drawn out, bruising, American election contest," he said. "It's the greatest show on earth and it's a celebration of democracy."
Coalition foreign affairs spokeswoman Julie Bishop also congratulated Mr Obama before pointing to challenges in Europe, tensions between China and Japan and the US's domestic economic woes as immediate concerns.
"There are still these challenges in the United States itself that must be addressed and that will be the first issue that the President will have to address to ensure that fiscal cliff is avoided," Ms Bishop told Sky News on Wednesday.
"It is the largest economy in the world. The United States, of course, is our third-largest trading partner and our number one military ally. So stability and prosperity in the United States is exceedingly important, not only for Australia but for the globe generally."
Former foreign minister Kevin Rudd said a key advantage of the Mr Obama's re-election was continuity.
"He knows us, we know him, he likes us and we like him," Mr Rudd told Fairfax Radio.
Mr Rudd said that given the importance of preserving peace in Asia, it was also important that he already knew the Chinese leadership.
"There is a real opportunity here to develop ... a new strategic roadmap for China-US relations for the next five years."
Mr Rudd added that Mr Obama's presidency would also be positive when it came to Iran.
"I think he's going to be a steady hand on the tiller when it comes to unfolding challenges in the Middle East," he said.

Chris Brown arrested for assaulting Rihanna
Chris Brown became this generation's Ike Turner Saturday night when he assaulted his girlfriend R&B singer Rihanna after both attended the 2009 Pre-Grammy Gala & Salute (above). Chris turned himself Sunday evening after the two canceled their Grammy appearances. Both were nominees. E! News reports:
A spokeswoman for Brown's label declined comment. Rihanna's publicist, Amanda Silverman, would only tell E! News that the 20-year-old "Disturbia" singer was involved in an unspecified traffic mishap. "Rihanna is well," the rep said. "Thank you for concern and support."
Per department policy, police declined to identify the alleged victim in the incident, which occurred about 12:30 a.m. in the Hancock Park area, apparently as the two were heading home from Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy bash, where they had been all smiles.
In a statement, police say Brown and his companion "became involved in an argument. After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated. The woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker."
By the time officers arrived on the scene, Brown had split.
As of this post, Chris Brown has already posted bail and been released, according to TMZ. He should spend this time kissing his career good-bye, but will probably do something retarded instead like dip his Playstation in gold. Because, clearly, Chris Brown is an idiot and a gigantic pussy. "I'm going to smack my insanely famous girlfriend right before the Grammys!" SMART.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/8/2014 (1108 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Mayoral candidate Brian Bowman wants to create a new tri-level government partnership to help co-ordinate long-term transportation planning.
The Winnipeg lawyer promised today to pool existing and new sources of road, transit and active-transportation funding in an effort to co-ordinate future construction.
Bowman said this cash would occupy a single fund but could not estimate its initial size. He said he would like the city, province and Ottawa to work together more closely on projects such as the Southwest Transitway, which he cited as suffering from delays due to political indecision.
Bowman reiterated his support for the completion of the Southwest Transitway as the project is currently planned. He promised to divulge more details about his transportation-planning platform on Thursday.
Bowman also promised to make the names of all new campaign donors public on Sept. 24 - and seek permission from existing donors to make their names public as well.
On Tuesday, fellow mayoral candidate Paula Havixbeck pledged to make her donors public by Oct. 15.
The City Clerk's Office publishes a list of all donors who contribute more than $250 to any candidate the year after an election.

Starlinger & Co. Ges.m.b.H. in Austria (U.S. office in Greenville, S.C.) has recently unveiled two new recycling systems: recoSTAR PET 330 for post-consumer PET recycling, and recoSTAR universal 165 for hard-to-grind, high-volume scrap.
The recoSTAR PET 330 relies on two 165-mm single-screw extruders mounted parallel on a common frame (see photo). Upstream and downstream equipment is sized so that only one predrying unit, filter, and pelletizer are needed for the two extruders, which helps to keep costs down. The line can reportedly produce more than 48 million lb/yr of bottle grade PET with virgin-like characteristics.
The first recoSTAR PET 330 was delivered early last year to Continuum Recycling in Hemswell, Lincolnshire, U.K., the joint venture company formed between Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) and British plastics recycler ECO Plastics. It has been running since May, producing RPET for use in CCE's PET packaging in Great Britain.
The recoSTAR universal 165 has been redesigned to handle all sorts of hard-to-process materials, such as clean in-house scrap, washed and dried post-consumer waste, lightweight film, and hard-to-grind molded parts. The unit offers a flexible modular design, operator and maintenance friendliness, efficient material preparation, feeding control for consistency and process stability, and consistently high pellet quality. Capacity is up to 22 million lb/yr.

nathanddrews - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkIndeed, given the level of hardware/software detail surveyed by Steam, they are in the best position to meet most users' needs. I removed GeForce Experience since it specifically targets 40-60fps as the acceptable range when modifying graphics settings. I had to go back and manually reconfigure all my games after installing it the first time, since I aim for 100-120fps on my CRT. GFE (or Steam or GEA) would win me over if it could conform the settings to automatically hit my desired frame rate. Reply
chizow - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkLooks like a way for AMD to revive it's recently dormant Gaming Evolved program while driving more people to use it's own version of GeForce Experience. I guess that is the downside of forcing people to use a 3rd party software (Raptr) that they don't really want to use, unlike GeForce Experience which is virtually seamless/unbiquitous in Nvidia driver packages.

Dalonely - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkSounds good but unintended consequences prevent me from participating. I presently have a GTX 560ti-448. I like to upgrade gpu's every 3rd generation. The reviews made the R280x my next video card. crypto-mining ended that when retailers bumped the card $100 plus. So now I've been looking at GTX770 cards. If I can get one closer to $300 rather than around $350. Will AMD sell me a R280x for the msrp price? Reply
kwrzesien - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkI'm looking to upgrade my GTX 460 1 GB to a GTX 770, and waited to see if the new AMD cards would maybe bring prices down. No luck - the card I'm watching has just gone from $345 to $375:

ShadowViper - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkWhat was failed to be mentioned in this article was the fact that the app used for the program is spyware. Also what was missed is there was a soft launch of the program back in December. Those that participated back in December have been lied to and defrauded. As many of us were about to have enough points to earn 60 dollar games, such as BF4, Thief and Titanfall, AMD/RAPTR removed those points to roughly 1/6 of people had. It has even gone as far as being stated that AMD was not involved. What is really sad is how many people of the gamer community take the blatant lies and thank them stating such things as "its better than nothing". Even right now the points rewarded are ambiguous and not even clearly defined. The whole program is a scam and its said how much coverage they are getting and non of the journalist are looking deeper into the program before reporting them in a positive light. Reply
SolMiester - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkYip, yet another Beta product from AMD..Nice reward for those that lost most of their point eh?...LMAO...AMD management yet again failing to get it right! Reply
hpglow - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkWait AMD isn't giving you free money? They actually want something in return? I don't install crap like that but it sounds to me like your crying over getting stuff for something you would do anyway...play games. I think you ar going to have trouble finding a shoulder to shed your self entitled tears on. Reply
SolMiester - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkWait, what?, you think he is crying because AMD put spyware on his system, while he generated points for prices only to have AMD remove most of his points?. Do you understand what a loyalty program is?.Well the poster does, and was then ripped off...This isnt about something for nothing at all....Its about AMD shitting over it consumers......again.... Reply
ShadowViper - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkSad thing is how many people think its crying over "free stuff.
Free is giving me something for nothing. They asked to use my system, my time, and effort in return for the points. After I had committed over 350hours they only honored 12. That's a scam, and they knew they were going to do so, committing fraud. They created the terms and conditions, I honored my end of the contract by performing, they however did not honor their end of the arrangement.
Is the announcement we received within the community.
They then committed fraud/lied to us here-

ShadowViper - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkSorry if this double posts, as I don't see the post anymore.
Most are missing the fact that this program was released to a limited few of us in December-
They then committed fraud/lied to us here-
and here:
Notice how the original launch is called a Soft Launch and clearly shows the offer made and what was needed to achieve the earnings and rewards.
They second two links they are trying to confuse people by now calling it a BETA, the raptr application was stated to be in a beta and still is in Beta, but the rewards program was not launched as a beta back in December again refer to the first link.
The second link even shows that they were aware of issues, and instead of stopping the program and making their adjustments they choose to allow the program to run longer having users spend up to 6 hours a day using their app with full intent of changing the terms to a huge advantage to themselves, fraud. This also happened 1 week before the store even opened denying us the chance to spend the points we earned in the original offer before they deducted us those points.
In many threads raptr employees tell the community that it was a beta and compare that to how MMO's run their beta's saying how they could of deleted all the points and we should be glad we kept some.
They also in that last link state that this was not AMD, yet the first link and everywhere on the web its listed as AMD's Program.
I don't know what's more upsetting that companies can treat their consumers this way, or that gamers take the lies and thank them replying "its better than nothing". Reply

ericore - Wednesday, February 19, 2014 - linkAMD is resource strained.
If AMD is able to gather a large data set from a large number of users, optimized games would be officially pooled from this rather than arbitrary or aristocratic means .
It's also a good marketing ploy for gamers (choose AMD, only AMD let's users choose which game they optimize). Reply
njdss4 - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkJust checked this out, and it seems like you earn points so slowly that it would take months, if not years, to earn anything noteworthy (like a video card). You'd have to be on the Raptr forums posting a LOT, playing games hours a day, using the optimization feature on everything, and even then you won't get much.
Combine that with how Raptr 'recalculates' points whenever they feel like it, taking away thousands of points from people for no reason other than they don't want to give out the prizes they promised, and you've got a recipe for wasted time, bitterness, and disappointment. Avoid. Reply
2GStyle - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkWhile they did recalculate points they also said that the rewards program was being changed. You could have used your points prior to get other things but not using them switched them over to the new program. I never understood why someone could complain about something listed as beta and a banner saying it was subject to change. I honestly think they are being generous since they didn't wipe the points system and they are offering bonus points currently to make up for the recent change. In the end you are still recieving "free" points and no one is forcing you to use the program. Reply
ShadowViper - Thursday, February 20, 2014 - linkActually couldn't use them prior since the store was never opened. They led us to believe that in dec (no mention there that they were going to take points away and also no mention there that it was a beta program) that what we earned we would be able to spend at the store when it opened.
Check page 2 of the comments all the information that they provided is listed there with the links I provided. Reply

HOUSTON - The discovery of 49 mutilated bodies has brought the bloody battle between two Mexican drug cartels back into the headlines.
It's a war that has shown it's ugly face here in Houston at times.
The mass grave on the highway leading into San Juan is just the latest swing in a gruesome fight after a fierce six-year war between law enforcement and the drug cartels.
The Zetas and the Sinaloa have been left battling over drug routes and territories near the United States border.
The 43 men and six women found dead at dawn on Sunday are just the latest victims in the most recent burst of violence.
In the last 30 days, in the city of Nuevo, the dismembered and mutilated bodies of 14 men were found stuffed in two abandoned vans. Another 23 people were found hanged.
Then Wednesday, 18 bodies were left dismembered near Guadalajara.
The arrests started on Friday. A group of seven people were taken into custody.
Police said one of them, a woman known as "La Tosca," confessed to 20 killings and told authorities she was paid up to $50 a day to commit the murders.
Also taken into custody, Juan Mercado -- along with four of his alleged gang members. Police said Mercado was preparing to kill a group of victims. He later told reporters he had randomly chosen the people and was planning on torturing and killing them before dumping their bodies.
Later that same day, suspected Zetas hit man Jesus Hernandez Rodriguez was arrested for kidnapping and killing four U.S. Marines in April.
Then came Sunday and the 49 bodies left on the San Juan highway. It is a highway that leads to city of Monterrey, which is just over a 100 miles from McAllen and 75 miles from Roma, Texas.
Since the first of the year, authorities said there has been an escalation in the violence.
About 47,000 people have been killed in the drug related violence since 2006.

Emmys 2012: Sizing Up the Best Comedy Actors' Race (ANALYSIS)
A.) A showdown among perennial favorites, hungry newcomers, and the worthy-but-previously ignored;
B.) A critique of modern corporate capitalism and masculine anxiety, as manifest in six satirical caricatures;
C.) An oddsmaker's toss-up; or
D.) All of the above.
We're going with last choice. We'd rather just look back at the generally stellar episodes these six funny guys submitted and laugh than crunch the numbers on their odds for victory. The Emmy voters seem equally fond of crowning newcomers as they do rewarding safe, old favorites (even after their shows have jumped the shark). Still, looking at each nominee, we'll offer a quick take on their prospects as they pan for Emmy gold.
Here's the scouting report in the Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series race.
Alec Baldwin: Baldwin won this prize twice early in 30 Rock's run, but since then he's been eclipsed by fellow contender Jim Parsons. The fact that 30 Rock is going off the air after next season could reinforce the show's growing air of irrelevance… or it could remind voters that they'll only have two more chances (now and next September) to give Baldwin the gold. The episode submitted on his behalf, "Live from Studio 6H," was an especially strong showcase of his talents, since he played not just Jack Donaghy but also five other characters — and he did it live, twice, in one night. Emmy chances: Moderate.
Don Cheadle: Cheadle's been nominated for several Emmys, all as a dramatic actor. His House of Lies turn marks his first recognition for his comic gifts. His submission, the series pilot ("Gods of Dangerous Financial Instruments"), was a fine introduction to his character, in all his extremes of behavior, but the premium cable series itself may be too weird, cynical, and off-putting for middle-of-the-road Emmy voters. Emmy chances: Poor.
Louis C.K.: The comic jack-of-all-trades has been nominated many times, mostly for his writing. He was also nominated in this category last year, and the depth of his performance has only increased since then. His "Duckling" episode of Louie, which was submitted to voters, depicted the comedian's patriotic visit to Afghanistan with a USO tour and was one of the most oddly moving hours of TV created last year. Paradoxically, C.K.'s many strengths on display (he also wrote, directed, produced, and edited the episode) may be his undoing. After all, he's also nominated this year for writing and directing; Emmy voters may decide to reward him in one of those categories instead. Besides, he'll almost certainly be back in this category next year. Emmy chances: Eh.
Jon Cryer: Cryer has been nominated for playing sad sack Alan Harper for seven years running, and he even won once. But that was always in the supporting category, as the lead role nomination for Two and a Half Men was reserved for Charlie Sheen. With Sheen notoriously out of the picture as of last season, Cryer got promoted, but that just means he faces even stiffer competition than before. His episode ("Frodo's Headshots"), shows Alan all but losing his mind. And while actors love to watch other actors playing mentally ill, Emmy voters from other branches may wonder what all the fuss is about, since the show has clearly lost a lot of its, um, sheen. Emmy chances: Doubtful.
Larry David: Like C.K., David has been nominated many times, mostly for his writing, though this year marks the fifth time he's been cited for playing Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm. David ought to get extra credit for his largely improvised performance, not to mention for the fact that his submission, "Palestinian Chicken," was a brilliant satire of intractable Middle East politics as well as one of the funniest Curb episodes ever. David loses some points for offensive content that may put off some voters, but otherwise, we'd say of his Emmy chances: Pretty, pretty, pret-tay good.
Jim Parsons: Parsons has won this award twice in a row. The Big Bang Theory star has now achieved a kind of Zen effortlessness in his performance as Sheldon — no mean feat when a character is so uptight that his world spins out of control when his regular barber is unavailable to trim his hair (as on the episode Parsons submitted, "The Werewolf Transformation.") The voters might be willing to recognize some new blood in this category, but given the show's continued popularity among viewers and critics alike, the award is his to lose. Emmy chances: Astronomical.

Female migrant workers form a group of super exploitable labor. Many women have families that are dependent upon their financial contributions. Their legal status and their gender combine to make them vulnerable. In a study conducted by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 1993, 90% of the female farm workers said that sexual harassment is a serious problem. Employers are able to use their legal status, lack of English skills, an unfamiliarity/ fear of the justice system to leverage sexual favors. If women refuse to submit to sexual advances they are forcibly raped. According to the Los Angeles Times, workers refer to work sites as "field of panties" because of the frequent occurrence of sexual assaults.
Olivia Tamayo was raped three times by her employer over the course of six years. Her status as victim/survivor is not unique to women working in the fields. What makes her unique is her 2005 victory in court. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, "Tamayo, of LeMoore, Calif., was the first migrant farmworker to prevail in a federal jury trial against her employer for sexual harassment. She first complained to her employer but received no protection. She then sued Harris Farms with the help of the EEOC, and in January 2005 a jury awarded her $1 million. The settlement was recently upheld by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
While there is reason to celebrate this victory against exploitation, there is still much work that needs to be done. Workers need to be able to feel free to report abuses without being subject to deportation. As long as their status as citizens hangs over their heads, women will be afraid to report incidents of rape, violence and threats to the authorities. Regulation of this industry needs to be increased, and a gender specific committee needs to be formulated to deal with issues specific to vulnerable female migrant workers.
Some women have resorted to wearing loose clothing in an attempt to hide their gender. No one should be subjected to rape to achieve subsistence for themselves and their loved ones. It is the dirty secret of the agriculture industry. Often we consume products without knowing their true cost. If we stop and think at all, it is usually about the economic exploitation that workers undergo so that we may consume at relatively cheap prices. What is never factored into the equation is the human cost. Tamayo represents one of many who has been violated. Agribusiness needs to be held accountable for the women that it has treated as prey. One rape, is one rape too many.

I'm trying to work out the best way to do this. I'll be dealing with UK telephone numbers which will all be stored in the format: 0xxxxxxx... so no country code.
On searching about this it seem the consensus is to store telephone numbers as strings but I can't help but think storing as a number may solve some problems while also speeding up searches and reducing storage size!?
The only thing I'll be doing is storing, searching and displaying those numbers.
One of the problems is spaces. For example 01234567890 could be entered as 01234 567890 or 01234 567 890. So I'd need to handles that when doing a search.
If I stored the numbers as an INT then I just need to handle the leading zero.
What do you think?
No expert here, but I'd probably just store them as a string, and strip the spaces (and parentheses/dashes/dots, at least for our numbers), storing just the characters. Figure out how you want to enforce the minimum and/or maximum string length to protect against someone entering the wrong number of digits. Not being that familiar with your phone number formatting, our equivalent would be if some entered less than seven digits (incomplete even for a local number), more than 10 (area code plus local number), or more than seven but less than ten (incomplete area code and/or some portion of the local number).
I believe your subsequent search queries would need to also strip the spaces, dashes, dots, etc. from the user-inputted string so that it would match the value stored in the table.
Alternately you could program things to where the value is stored as a formatted string, with spaces, etc. in the appropriate places...
store both the stripped number and the formatted number
as strings, of course
searching an index on a 10- or 15-char string is not going to be noticeably slower than searching on an integer index
Ok thanks. So why would storing as a number be a bad idea in this case?
Storing as a number doesn't allow for any leading zeros on the front of the phone number.
Using VARCHAR column ensures that it can accept several possibilities of phone number formats as well. Like those with:* Leading zeros* Spaces* Hyphens and braces* Even alphabets
However, you can always filter the user input if you strictly want to follow a format. Otherwise, you can respect the user input (by not saying your phone format is wrong, retype the correct one). Just assume user input is valid, unless it is filled by a spammer.
That's the thing, if I'm ONLY using numbers I won't have any of those issues except the leading zero which can be added for display purposes.
The problem would be that there is no way when a phone number is stored in a number field to tell whether or not it has a leading zero and how many leading zeros it should have - eg. the phone number 000 would be stored simply as zero and you'd have no way to tell that it is supposed to be three zeros.
All UK telephone numbers have one leading zero.
Better imv, to store the leading 0, regardless. So when you display it in your webpage, you can process the dropping of it, if you are to show +44, for example.
If there was no 0, then would you not have to hard code that process of adding/dropping the 0, in your script?
Yes baz, but that seems quite trivial and straight forward considering that whichever method I use I will have to manipulate the data for display and search purposes anyway.
no you wont
see post #3 -- store bofadem
r937, I'm not sure storing bofadem! is a good idea, because all of a sudden we have added an extra complexity to data integrity, where any insert and future updates will have to make sure that both fields are holding the correct value.
Also data will need to be manipulated either way because for example:
record_field = 0123456789formatted_field = 0123 456789search_field = 0123 456 789
The search_field will need to return a match, so there's no getting away from it.
seems you have three columns, not just the two that i suggested
You can deal with single column as well.format your searched numbers according to what way you save them in the database.Whle showing / printing, format the phone data according to second field. That is just for a display and not stored.
I think, only one field is enough to hold.
a telephone number is NOT a number - there is no meaning to the concept of adding, subtracting multiplying or dividing them. A phone number IS a string of characters, from the domain of characters, which just by coincidence all happen to be in the range 0123456789. But they are not numbers. So don't use a numerical field.
storing as a string gives you options on the way the data is entered that at the present moment you may not have thought about or think you don't need. for example we all split up phone numbers into groups such as 01324 897 465 because this makes reading them and remembering them easier. While at present you think that 01324897465 is easier, at some point in the future you or another user may choose to enter 01324-897-465 or use spaces, which will not be accepted. Your idea is universally considered wrong, so why choose something that everyone says is wrong.
Now the phone number example you have forgotten about:01324 897 465 ext 2305
think about that one as a number...
I would do it in 1 column - at least at the beginning. Either store the unformatted number (digits only) or formatted (digits + spaces and other extra characters) depending on your needs.
When using the latter approach use a function while searching that will strip out special characters. In the future, if the database grows large and you need to index the numbers for searches then use another column as r937 suggests. Or do it immediately if you want to be prepared for that already.
I have a similar situation in a client table but with tax id numbers - they are stored as entered by users (sometimes with dashes and/or spaces). The table now has 12000 rows and doing a search for the number using REPLACE functions is lightning fast - so I'm not even considering the need to add another column just to be able to use index. But it may depend on how much data you have in your rows - for example, if each row stores large amount of data in TEXT or BLOB columns then doing a full table scan over 12000 rows can be time-consuming. My client table has only 12 varchar and 2 numeric columns, and occupies 1.5MB so that is not an issue and I expect it won't be still for quite a long time.
If you read this wikipedia article on UK phone numbers you'll see that there is a variety of formats so your probably best of having two fields (or one field if it's just going to be UK numbers only) 1 field would be the 2 digit country code and the other would be a varchar field with any space and non-nuemric characters stripped out.
On the server-side language part using php as an example, you'd strip any non-numeric characters from the phone number and send that to the database after having first sanitized the number. The database would then be doing a simple comparison of strings.
Any formatting of the phone number could be done in php basically using a switch-break block.
I should have been a bit clearer in the example - the search_field is a user input field not a database field.
I agree, store one field and format it for storage and display purposes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio " Recruitment is underway throughout Ohio for volunteers and partner organizations for the Internal Revenue Service's free tax preparation programs. Volunteers must receive training and achieve certification over the next two months to be ready for the start of the 2013 tax filing season.
The IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs offer free tax help to seniors as well as to low-to-moderate income and disabled individuals. Partner organizations set up free tax preparation sites in local communities, where volunteers meet with and assist qualifying taxpayers. Some VITA or TCE sites may offer a "self-prepare" option for people to do their own taxes for free using web-based tax preparation software. Volunteers will be needed in all these sites during the upcoming filing season.
While volunteers are needed for tax preparation, help is also needed for a variety of other important roles. These include greeter/screener, interpreter, site administrator/coordinator and computer specialist or troubleshooter. Tax preparers, quality reviewers and tax coaches do need to complete specialized tax law training and certification in order to assist others with their tax returns. Training is free and the hours are flexible.
Details are available on the IRS website, www.IRS.gov, at key words Tax Volunteer. To volunteer with or host a community VITA/TCE site, email email@example.com.

Topic: Teddy'S PET Results
Just what I knew already...the tumor from last year is still shrinking but there is a new "spot" near his kidney. I have to make an appointment to see the RAD Man when I can go out again , so in about 3 weeks. He said it is very small and he would not do anything for a couple of months then do another scan to see if it in fact is growing. I am sure we will talk about more when we see him. Want to ask about a biopsy. I told him I just knew it and that I know this is the beginning of more tumors to come. He didn't answer me. Thanks Teddy for taking my mind off my up coming surgery. Even though I knew in my gut I am glad he is golfing right now so I can reconoiter and gather my troops inside me. For me the hardest part about this whole thing is telling him each time that it may be back. That is the hardest for me as I cannot show him I am worried and its hard as he knows I know too much about all this. OK In another hour I will be fine and we start our fight for him, I know mine will come out OK as I have to take care of T. Thank you all for all your thoughts and posts. We have a loving family and many friends, Teddy is just so loved by everyone, but nothing means more to me than all of you!
