What version of w3m are you using? When I view the page with w3m version 0.5.2-2+b1 in Lenny I do not see the same behavior that you are describing. The first page displayed does have a large portion of the screen taken up by blank space but not the first six pages. I see that the left side has a 18 blank columns and the right side is hidden past column 80. My testing shows that a terminal 100 columns wide is required to avoid the need for horizontal scrolling. > Please use CSS for such stuff, as then your attempts to force a > particular layout on the end user will be ignored by text-based > browsers. It will also allow people using graphical browsers to "opt > out" by turning CSS off, or supplying their own CSS. I agree with you in principle enough that I felt compelled to vote with you for this request. Use of html tables isn't good for accessibility. I would like to it use stylesheets similar to the main www.debian.org page. But it would still take someone a non-zero amount of effort to actually do the work. Perhaps until this issue can be addressed you can obtain some relief within w3m by using the plain html link provided by DokuWiki (from the html head section). (Lynx is the only browser I know that displays the links from a document's head section.) http://www.backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?do=export_xhtml&id=start Or you might try using lynx which fails to render tables and therefore ironically succeeds better here. But I realize that doesn't solve the problem. Bob

The Strong Schools Strong Community Bond Committee, formed to help pass 3C, has just over two weeks until the big day. Some people have already voted, ballots went out in the mail this week.
Superintendent Scott Cooper reported the question and answer session at the Ponderosa was poorly attended, mostly because of the Bronco game, also Monday night, Cooper suggests.
We will just have to wait and see how this bond does on election night. This is exciting stuff!
The Dolores High School Football team is traveling to Centauri on Saturday, a long drive for the school districts and thanks to the Valley Inn Nursing Home in Mancos and Vista Grande Nursing Home in Cortez, the boys wont have to drive the whole way and play and drive home.
The nursing homes donated enough money to pay for hotel rooms for the boys Friday night. So they can drive up Friday, have a good nights sleep and play well rested and not road-weary.
As always, turn to 93.3 KKDC DCrow for radio coverage which begins Saturday at 12:45 p.m.
Mark Applequist reported that he and Sina are living in their home again, the front portion at least, after a fire destroyed the back wall of the home and did damage in portions of the attic. Remarkably, the fire did not spread inside the home and caused little damage to items inside the home. Mark said they are still working on repairs, but they are going well.
The leaves were beautiful in Dolores this week, dazzling shades of orange and yellow along the river. But they are dropping fast and wind has shown to be blowing much of the leaves off.
Recent reports of sales tax showed that Dolores is a bit up and Town Manager Ryan Mahoney hopes that Dolores wont fall too far below what was expected this year, despite having some slow months.

Lebanese industry minister announces 12-point recovery plan
Lebanon's minister of industry, George Frem, introduced a 12-point "rush" program, which he said was designed to lower production costs for industrialists and increase the competitiveness of locally made products.
Speaking to a press conference, Frem urged the government to abolish customs duties on all imports of raw materials, providing that they are not produced locally. The government currently imposes tariffs of 6 percent on imported finished goods that are used as raw materials.
At the same time Frem expressed his opposition to a proposal that import duties be cut on goods that also are manufactured in Lebanon. According to the government proposal. Certain tariffs will be reduced from 100 percent to 5 percent, reported the Daily Star.. "Any cuts in import duties should be gradually introduced over a five-year period to allow industrialists to build some muscle," he said.
At the press conference, Frem announced his intention to announce in 2001 a long-term program to generate 50,000 work places in the country. He also said he intends doubling exports to $1.4 billion, increasing the industrial sectors contribution to DDP to 20 percent, and to raise the growth of the industrial sector to 15 percent.
Other measures in Frem's 12-point plan include a reduction of social security payments for employers, a reduction in rates paid by industry for food and water, and a reduction in port and clearance duties. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

Ouya: A Poor Man's Xbox One/PS4 – Only Better
It's been around 7 months now since the Ouya first hit retail shelves around the world. Yes, you read that right. I'm writing an article about an Indy console that came out a full 7 months ago, rather than discussing the current war between the Playstation 4 and Xbox One that's only just begun. But I'm beyond sick of hearing about those two! Let's talk about something different for a change, ok? Please? I'm going to pretend you said yes to that…
Coming out after a much-anticipated release, the Ouya fell flat when the vast majority of game reviewers around the interwebs gave it mediocre scores at-best. However, as one of the few people to have owned and operated this small, downright cute console for the majority of its shelf-life, I feel that, at its current state, this reputation is grossly unjust, and it's for this reason that I am here to rectify it. So please, everyone, (especially you cheap gamers out there) remain standing at all times as I give you an updated review of the console the world overlooked.
The Ouya's look and shape are very similar to that of a rubix cube, in both size and shape. However, don't let that fool you, as this little console packs one heck of a punch.
Starting with its display, the Ouya comes locked and loaded with an impressive Nvidia Tegra 3 graphics card, capable of presenting graphics very similar to those of the Xbox 360 when the situation allows it. And that's not all! Standing on top of Nvidia's shoulders lurks a Quad-Core 1.7 GHZ processor, 1 gigabyte of RAM, and 8 gigabytes of hard drive space (while supporting external storage), all presented on the Android operating system with a sleek, yet simple interface.
Admittedly, the Ouya does suffer from having only 1 USB port, but considering USB hubs are available at your local Walmart for about $10 a piece (giving you an additional 4 USB slots), this doesn't prove to be too much of an issue. As for the controller, it's very similar in size and shape to your Xbox 360 model, while sporting a touchpad in the center. Yes, the Ouya had a touchpad before it was cool, Sony!
Many people, deservedly-so, want to know exactly what does and doesn't work on the Ouya, as far as system compatibility's concerned. This is a great question, and an easy one to answer. As far as hardware's concerned, literally, everything with a USB that I've connected to my system thus far has proven functional. Xbox 360 controllers, PS3 controllers, mouses, keyboards, flash drives, external hard drives, time traveling devices, everything. The one thing I haven't tried to hook up to my Ouya yet is a webcam; and I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work, either.
On a software level, anything and everything that's compatible with Android will work on this bad boy. You can even play touch-specific games. Simply plug your mouse into the USB slot and viola, A full-screened cell phone game!
Ouya-Specific Titles
The Ouya features many great, exclusive titles, with several more on the way. Shadowgun (pictured above), Soul Fjord, and the Amazing Frog being just a few that come to mind. Not only that, but every game on the Ouya is free to try, with many being free indefinitely. So, before you dish out any cash on a game that may not be your cup of tea, you can play a few levels, make sure that tea's brewed juuuuuuuuust right, help yourself to a second cup, and then, once your pallet has been satisfied to your heart's delight, start throwing out some of your hard-earned cash on a product you know you'll enjoy.
For those of you who love your (legal) emulation, you'll be amazed at what this cubic goddess has to offer. Providing you with all of the big name players, such as ZSNES and GBA.EMU, not to mention these amazing gems, the Ouya can literally emulate nearly every console from the Atari to the Playstation 1. Oh, and did I mention it can also emulate every handheld device up to the Nintendo DS? Yeah, you heard me.
Tired? Too bad. The Ouya is like that grandmother that practically holds a machete to your throat, daring you not to eat the cookies she seems to always have freshly baked; and, make no mistake about it, you're going to eat each and every baked goodness this console has to offer. Now, ahem, where was I?
Oh yes! The apps. The Ouya has a great selection of wonderful apps for your every-day use. My favorites include XBMC, an insanely good media player that connects to every channel you can think of for video streaming, including Youtube, VLC Player for Ouya, which can play every video format imaginable (unlike your 360, which can't even play a simple .mkv file!), Twitch, to make it easier for me to watch my friends feed when playing League of Legends, and a built-in web browser, for all of your internet needs. But this is just a piece of the pie, there are several, several more apps, not to mention every app that's available for Android-itself. Go ahead, wrap your mind around that appy goodness.
Are you sitting down? We've now come to the final feature of the Ouya. Its price tag. You've seen consoles in the past go for $200, $300, all the way up to $500 dollars. This amazing piece of art, get this, goes for $99 retail. I got mine for $65 on Ebay! How can you beat that (rhetorical question, it can't be beaten)?! So, for you gamers out there with smaller wallets, fear-not, for the folks at Ouya.tv are on your side!
The Ouya is a great, powerful, and insanely flexible system that, for its price should make it a staple in any serious gamer's collection. And while there are a few minor bugs, the Ouya team is constantly providing updates to make sure their system approaches nearer to optimization. Granted, when this console first came out, it was ridiculously rushed, and was practically a glorified Beta release, making each reviewer who reviewed the initial product justified in their analysis. The problem is that people are still using these dated reviews to determine whether or not they'll buy a console that, quite simply, is the absolute best deal going.

The gas mask panty is one of the winners of the Nobel prize this year. While ridiculous and hilarious at face value, it has far more going on below the, duh, uh, waistline. Ha ha. Ha? Not really. Give it some serious thought.
Lenaehey Odnarbhey, who lives in the South side of Chicago, got her start as a scientist in her basement, when she witnessed the devastating effects of mixing chlorine and ammonia in a toilette bowl. She noticed, among other things, that women were wearing panties that may have been lacy but were certainly not life-saving. She suffered horribly!
At the Nobel awards ceremony, Odnarbhey demonstrated her invention in the ladies room, to a rapidly moving, and growing reception line. She showed how this could have prevented her from breathing in chlorine gas as a child. (This explains her lack of mental prowess) She graciously gave pink gas masks (each of which can turn into two panties) to each man who entered the ladies room.
She demonstrated how quickly she could change from wearing the mask to wearing one of the two panties that she extracted from the filter compartment. The filter is simply wrapped in panties.
At one point, she got her legs crossed and chlorine gas escaped from her buttocks, but other than that, the masks worked well.

The school- and playdate-worlds of nut-allergy sufferers can be scary places. It's hard enough to avoid ever-popular peanut butter, but it's almost impossible to navigate around food products with trace elements of nuts. And to the many serious peanut allergy patients, exposure to even minute amounts of peanuts or the like, can set off life-threatening symptoms.
Until now, there has been no effective treatment to overcome the allergy. But a new study reported in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology shows promising signs for a cure. Scientists studied a group of 40 adolescents and adults with the food allergy. Half of the group was administered miniscule amounts of peanut powder under the tongue each day for the better part of a year (44 weeks). The others were given a placebo. Of those given the peanut powder, 14 out of 20 (70 percent), could tolerate at least 10 times as much peanut as they could at the start of the study. Only 3 out of 20 on the placebo could do the same.
The striking difference in peanut tolerance means that researchers are on the road to finding effective ways to treat food allergies. Scientists caution that folks shouldn't try this approach at home; the amounts given were too tiny for anyone at home to administer. But the researchers on the new study say that this idea of building up a tolerance to peanuts may apply to other food allergies.
Peanuts are common, and avoiding foods that contain them can be a challenge. According to the Mayo Clinic, the following foods often contain peanuts:
-Ground or mixed nuts.
-Baked goods, such as cookies and pastries.
-Ice cream and frozen desserts.
-Energy bars.
-Cereals and granola.
-Grain breads.
-Marzipan, a molding confection made of nuts, egg whites and sugar.
Less obvious foods may contain peanuts or peanut proteins. Some examples include:
-Salad dressings.
-Chocolate candies, nut butters (such as almond butter), and sunflower seeds.
Cultural foods including African, Chinese, Indonesian, Mexican, Thai and Vietnamese dishes.
-Foods sold in bakeries and ice-cream shops.
-Arachis oil, another name for peanut oil.
-Pet food.
The hope is that with future strides, young children (and their parents) may be able to move a bit more freely in their worlds without fear that trace exposures could set off life-threatening reactions. This IS good news.
Does your child suffer from allergies? Are they life-threatening? How do you deal?

Joshua Breakstone never actually lived in the Bay Area, but back in the 20th century, the jazz guitarist spent so much time here that he was practically part of the San Francisco scene.
It was another era, when musicians from out of town could play the region four or five times in a year without wearing out their welcome. He cemented his Bay Area ties when he signed to Contemporary, which was part of the family of labels run by Fantasy Records in Berkeley.
Breakstone had already recorded two albums for a small Canadian label when he arrived in the Bay Area in 1985 with the tape of a blazing hard-bop session featuring the prodigious baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams and piano great Kenny Barron. Possessing the requisite chutzpah, he proceeded to shop the project around between Palo Alto Records, Concord Jazz and Fantasy (a scenario that's practically unthinkable today for a little-known player at the start of his career).
With a recommendation from veteran deejay and producer Bob Porter, Breakstone got a meeting with Fantasy president Ralph Kaffel, who "listened to a couple tunes and said, 'I love it, I can sell it, I want it. It will all hinge on one thing,'" recalls Breakstone, 57, who makes his first Bay Area appearance in about a decade on June 12 with bassist Seward McCain and drummer Akira Tana at Lou's Village as part of San Jose Jazz's free Wednesday concert series.
That "one thing" was that Kaffel had to line up an agreement with JVC in Japan to take 20,000 copies of the album, a quantity that would inspire slack-jawed amazement from any indie jazz label honcho today. Within days he got the call from Kaffel that JVC was onboard, and he proceeded to record four acclaimed albums in four years.
"It really was a transitional era," Breakstone says. "My first record on Contemporary, 'Echoes,' was vinyl only. The next, 'Evening Star,' with trombonist Jimmy Knepper and pianist Tommy Flanagan, was on vinyl and CD, and the last, 'Nine By Three,' was only released on CD."
With his biting attack, rounded tone and beautifully sculpted lines, Breakstone is more than one of jazz's top-tier guitarists. He's also an esteemed educator who conducts workshops and master classes wherever he tours (like his Sunday afternoon clinic at the Jazzschool in Berkeley).
Growing up in the late 1960s, the New Jersey native had access to the musical riches of New York City. With one sister employed at the Fillmore East, he caught many top rock, blues and jazz artists and heard Miles Davis at the Village Vanguard. While interested in jazz, like the vast majority of his peers, he was more drawn to rock until he experienced a teenage epiphany listening to trumpeter Lee Morgan's classic 1964 Blue Note album "Search for the New Land."
He had a knack for finding the perfect mentors. Breakstone studied guitar technique with Sal Salvador, a prolific studio player and early master of bebop. When he was ready to polish his approach to improvisation, Breakstone found his way to a neighbor a few blocks away in Weehawken, N.J., pianist Barry Harris. Living in the house of famed jazz patron Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter, where Thelonious Monk spent his last decade, Harris had long been dedicated to passing on the musical wisdom he gleaned first hand from bebop pioneers Charlie "Bird" Parker and Bud Powell.
"As far as his approach, his touch, his sense of swing and compositions, I'd say Barry is the musician I've been most influenced by," Breakstone says. "His phrasing is so communicative in many ways. Like Bird, he has this very vocal aspect to his playing."
On his latest album, a masterly trio session on Capri with bassist Lisle Atkinson and drummer Eliot Zigmund, "No One New," Breakstone delivers a program focusing on sizzling originals and an exquisite version of Jimmy Rowles' classic ballad "The Peacocks." The guitarist's old-school musical virtues seem to be an ideal fit for the reboot of Lou's Village, the latest venue to sign on with San Jose Jazz for regular gigs designed to bring the music into the community.
The original restaurant served as an essential South Bay entertainment hub for decades after Lou Santoro opened the venue in 1946. The old spot closed in 2005 and reopened in the new Willow Glen Town Center last October under the auspices of Santoro's grandsons Tim and Tom Muller (who is a jazz pianist himself).
"Tom has played with Kris Strom and other artists we consistently present," says San Jose Jazz executive director Brendan Rawson. "This wouldn't happen without his passion. He designed the dining room in terms of acoustics, and presenting jazz was always part of his hope for the new incarnation of Lou's Village."

Stepping into usable web – the slider was presented at Experience Sharing event in January 2012. It was a small event with some smart IT professionals from Bangladesh. The event was fun and memorable. I took the chance of explaining what I feel about Usable Web, What a website should have? What steps we can follow to ensure usability and give rich experiences to the users?
I believe -
Website is not only a frame of images, links or texts anymore! A website should so usable not only for it's visitors but also for machines too!
Elements of a Usable Web
The slider was divided into six main sections.
- Concentrate on User Goal

- Design for accessibility
- Design for usability
- Design for Rich Experience
Semantics! Meaningful Markups
- Your markup should not be alien codes
- Readable for devices
- Meaningful
- Understandable
- Device and SE robot friendly
Reference: Dive Into HTML5 (http://diveintohtml5.info/semantics.html)
Speed it UP! Ensure Web Performance
- A single second delay can loose you thousand of $$$$

London's Burning!
The new Fireforce 2 Jet Funny Car
By Andy Marrs
The highlight of the recent Cannonball race at Santa Pod was Martin
Hill in his new Fireforce 2 Jet Funny Car. Martin set a new European
best of 6.265 and what we think is a new speed record of 252.77.
Martin's new car is a Chevy Lumina replica powered by a Pratt &
Whitney J-60 kicking out 5000 lbs. of thrust, doubling with reheat. I
spoke to him on Saturday and he said he was looking for a 6.2 to set the
record then his next target is a "5." Going by the fact that
he shut it off at 1000 feet, it obviously isn't too far away. He did say
he wanted to keep it on for a full 1/4 but admitted afterwards that he
"bottled it":)
The main worry we have now is the integrity of the control tower. As
you probably know, Santa Pod's tower actually sits across the track
behind the start line. For the second meeting in a row, Hill managed to
take a window out. We actually sit dead center in the tower [Andy runs
the TSI timing system –bp] with the track commentators next door,
directly above the right lane, Martin's favorite! Next time he runs, the
commentators will use radio mikes and be away from danger; however, we
have to stay to hold down the PC, monitors, etc., so it looks like he'll
run in the left lane and see if it's a bit safer for us. I personally
will be wearing a crash helmet and body armor as well as carrying a
spare pair of pants!

The Newsquest-owned Herald & Times Group has merged the picture desks of its three Glasgow-based newspapers into a single multimedia hub.
This move forms part of the publisher's plan to increase editorial collaboration across its titles, which will also see it launch a new single website for its Herald and Sunday Herald newspapers.
Picture desk staff from the Herald, Sunday Herald and Evening Times newspapers will this week start work in the new hub, overseeing all non-text content across print and the web.
In addition to the picture desk merger, a new combined website for the Herald and Sunday Herald newspapers will be launched later in the year. The former deputy editor of the Sunday Herald, David Milne, has been appointed online editor for the new site.
"The new desk will be the centre of all the company's pictures, and also its video and audio content," the Herald & Times Group managing editor, Tom Thomson, told MediaGuardian.co.uk.
"Part of the unit is an editing section so if the staff are taking video and audio we can make the best use of that. It's really to recognise the importance of multimedia and making use of it."
Thomson said that as part of the integration process Herald & Times Group photographic staff have been given training at Glasgow Caledonian University. The group intends to add to its 30-strong photographic team as the need for multimedia content increases, he added.
The new desk will be run by former Evening Times picture editor John Young, who was appointed group multimedia editor in April. The desk will also be responsible for the gathering and organisation of user-generated content submitted to the Herald Group's series of community websites.
Photographers will remain largely tied to individual publications until they adopt the new pooled work practices later in the month, producing audio, video and still images.
However, it is understood that some staff are unhappy as they feel they have not been fully consulted on the changes and timing of the move.
Despite merging the picture desk and the development of a new websites, Thomson added that the company had no plans to integrate news operations further.
"We will look at the multimedia desk, see how it goes and what lessons we can learn from that," he said.

Social interaction
It seems to me a HUGE part of social interaction is simply being able to superficially laugh along with the group. I - like virtually everyone - want to be loved and be part of the group, so I try to laugh along. When I'm not genuinely amused though (which is quite often), I have a smile that's downright painful. What do I do about it? Just having a neutral expression on my face, will result in me being regarded as humorless. That has happened in the past and being alone in a crowd.

What Should We Read?More Related Discussions
My school takes part in reading groups twice a year. Recently, we just finished a book called White Teacher Diverse Classroom. In order to keep up to date with the newest research and findings I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to the next great book my group will read this school year? I appreciate any ideas.
This post was created by a member of Edutopia's community. If you have your own #eduawesome tips, strategies, and ideas for improving education, share them with us.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. The text will relate to our student population and help give us ideas on how we can better understand and impact our students.
After reading your post, I went to a website to learn about Eric Jensen. I actually purchased two of his books. The one is called Student Success Secrets and the other one is titled Different Brains Different Learners: How to Reach the Hard to Reach. I think these two books along with the texts you mentioned will really lead to some good discussions in my reading group.
Do you take part in a reading group at your school or do you primarily read these on your own? I think it's great that you are committed to staying informed about the latest developments in our field.
I'm glad I could help and hope you and your fellow teachers enjoy and find these books useful in working with your students.
I am not involved in any reading groups either through work or outside of work, truthfully I wish I was. The first book I read by Eric Jensen was for a class I took years ago. I just find that by reading professional books related to topics that interest me or challenges I am currently facing in the classroom helps me stay motivated and passionate about teaching. I'm sure you can relate.
I am curious how reading groups in your school work. Who chooses the books to read? It sounds like such a great way to stay informed.
Books written by Ruby K Payne are incredible! She also has one out about poverty (A Framework for Understanding Poverty) and it was very informative and well written. We actually used it as a book study when I was teaching in Las Vegas.
Our school has also read A Framework for Understanding Poverty. I find Ruby Payne's book's on poverty amazing. She really helped me grasp poverty and how it can affect the whole student.
Thanks Brigitte and Jen, I will have to check that one out for myself.
If you are interested in a book for middle school teachers a great read is, "This We Believe: Successful Schools for Young Adolescents." It's an easy read by the National Middle School Association. My staff read this book and we had some wonderful conversations.
Im a huge Jonathan Kozol fan. I know some of his stuff is dated but I still find it insightful and inspirational. He makes my job look easy compared to what other teachers have to deal with on a daily basis. I love reading about the children in the poverty stricken areas and what is being done or not being done to benifit them in schools. He has a lot of Great reads.
Dear Jackie,
Our staff development teacher selects the books our school will read. They are usually about teaching students in diverse setting and teaching kids to accept the skin they are in. We have to select a book to read for the first two marking periods and then one for the spring. You are able to select a book from a group and those people form a reading group. It is up to your group to decide where and when to meet just as long as it is finished by December/January.
One of our book study groups did read the above book by Ruby Payne. They found it helpful and interesting as well. We have it in our staff library so it available for me to check out.
Thanks so much for the information about your reading groups!

Call the dentist. No sense in risking infection. Mouth wash that isn't a burning kind would be good too.
My 4 yr old had a filling done on her back lower tooth on Tuesday. Well, Tueday night she had a sore tongue. Understandable, she might have put it in the way. BUt Wednesday morning my husband did not take her to school because her lip was swollen and she had 2 small sores on that side of her inner lip, had her suck on a frozen washcloth. Today, she still has 2 small sores. They kind of look like blisters without the liquid. I get canker sores from the novacaine shot so I understand that but she does not have anything on her gum, just her lip and tongue, and one sore on the inner part of her cheek. I figure maybe she bit herself before the novacaine totally wore off. My husband says that today she had some stuff come out of her gum like puss but I cannot find anything so not sure about that. I have an appt coming up for myself so plan to ask the dentist. Just wndered if any of you have had this with your little ones. SHe still has a filling and crown to get on the other side and I am a little worried she will have this again. She says it hurts a lot and we have her use a cold wet cloth.
BTW, for the upper teeth, we did use gas but she would not relax enough to breathe it right and did not want it again this week. Her next appt is the 2nd Sat in April and not looking forward to it. Hopefully now she understands that she has to brush more (and daddy gets it too).
I talked to the dentist about her when I went in Sat. He said i could bring her in but she did most likely have a reaction to the latex cover that was used. Since she had no reaction the [previous time, what most likely happened is that her lips were dry and th elatex was able to rub directly on her lips. He suggested using a thin coat of vaseline next time as a barrier and of course mention it to the ped dentist when she goes in to have the next-and last--tooth fixed. Her lip was not swollen and it lookes like the sores are going away though she says her tongue still hurts a little bit when I try to touch it. And I still did not see any kind of puss or anything thing like that.
Call the dentist. No sense in risking infection. Mouth wash that isn't a burning kind would be good too.
When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I got the worst rash in my mouth and it turned out to be thrush.
I would call the dentist who treated her right away and let him know what's going on. All I had to do was describe the symptoms and I was given an oral antibiotic rinse and it was so comforting. I was miserable.
I know tomorrow is Saturday, but there should be someone on call.
If it does happen to be thrush, by Monday, your little one could be in real agony.
I wouldn't wait.
Best wishes.
Call the dentist about the possible puss. If it gets worse sunday there is less of a chance to fix it until monday and most emergency rooms don't have a dentist there or even one on call that is willing to do anything but say give the kid motrin I'll see them at my office tomorrow. Don't let the child suffer.
Possible latex allergy. Probably not a horrible one, but the points where the dentist pulled her mouth are what you are seeing. I have a mild allergy and have gotten that from time to time. I generally make my own magic mouthwash, which consists of benadryl, mylanta, and squirt of cepacol or other sore throat spray. Swish and swallow. It does help a lot. Or if you don't want to make your own, call and ask the dentist. Google it.

The IVA International Fund (Trades, Portfolio) Class A (NAV) ("the Fund") ended the quarter on June 30, 2014 with a return of 2.50% compared to the MSCI All Country World Index (ex-U.S.) ("Index") return of 5.03%. This brings our year-to-date return to 4.46% versus the Index return of 5.56% for the same period.
Global equity markets continued to move higher this period with the S&P 500 Index reaching a record high close in mid-June despite a still murky economic picture. Towards the end of the quarter, it was announced that U.S. GDP growth fell -2.9% in the first quarter of 2014 and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) warned in its annual report published in June that "buoyant financial markets are out of sync with the shaky global economic and geopolitical outlook."
Discovering new securities to buy remains difficult because we view equity markets as fully valued; however, we continue to search stock by stock. Over the quarter we found a few opportunities in equities, namely in South Korea, in consumer discretionary, and in technology, which brought our equity exposure up to 58.6% on June 30 from 54.4% on March 31. Since a few securities reached or are close to what we view as their intrinsic value, we trimmed or sold those, mostly in France. Our cash exposure totaled 26.2% at quarter-end, down from 29.3% last quarter. We remain comfortable with our cash position despite rising markets and we believe that to see the real return on our cash, one will have to see how we put it to work years from now. Only then can the true return on cash be fully understood and measured.
This quarter, our equities averaged a gain of 4.9% versus those in the Index gaining 5.0%1. Year-to-date our stocks have outperformed, up 9.1% versus the Index up 5.5%1. Stocks in Japan added the most to our return this quarter, 1.6%, by averaging a gain of 9.4% versus those in the Index up 6.7%. We benefited from good performance from a top 10 position as well as a few consumer discretionary stocks. In addition, our consumer discretionary stocks were the top performing sector this quarter and collectively contributed 0.8% to our return by averaging a gain of 5.0% versus those in the Index up 3.7%. The next top sector contributing to our return was health care, which averaged a gain of 9.6% and added 0.6% to our return, helped by solid performance from a Japanese stock. The Fund's holdings in Hong Kong also added about 0.3% to our return. A couple countries marginally detracted from our return this quarter. Together, Belgium, Finland, Germany, and Indonesia detracted almost -0.1% from our return. Also, our technology stocks underperformed those in the Index this period, averaging a return of -1.9% versus the Index up 5.9%, and detracted about -0.1% from our return. This was due in part to poor performance from a top 10 position. We took advantage of the stock price decline over the quarter and added to our position as we believe this is a quality service company with good management and excellent long term international growth opportunities that remains reasonably priced.
Over the quarter, especially in June, gold bullion performed well by averaging a return of 3.6% and adding 0.1% to our return. We remain comfortable with our gold allocation of 3.1% at quarter-end and believe it continues to serve as a good hedge against extreme outcomes (inflation or deflation).
We did not find any new opportunities in fixed income this period, therefore our corporate bond exposure totaled 6.1% and our sovereign bond exposure totaled 6.2% at period end. Collectively fixed income added 0.1% to our return this quarter.
Over the period our technology exposure rose to 7.7% from 5.8% on March 31. We added a new position in a technology company in South Korea (a top 10 position). We believe this company has a strong competitive position along with a low cost structure. Furthermore, the company has a substantial amount of cash and financial investments on the balance sheet, currently has a high return on equity, and trades at low multiples of our estimated normalized profits.
We increased our exposure to a few equities in India, China (through Hong Kong listed equities), and Hong Kong over the period that we believe are still trading at reasonable valuations. This brought our exposure to these three countries up to 7.2% at quarter-end from 5.8% on March 31. In Japan, equity markets are having a slower start to this year, following the Nikkei 225 Index rising over 50% (in Japanese yen) in 2013. We are pleased with our stock picking in Japan year-to-date as our stocks there averaged a gain of 12.2% versus those in the Index at 0.7%. We think this is mostly due to the types of
companies we own; small and mid-cap, local companies that are undiscovered or misunderstood, and exposed primarily to the local economy, not exports. Despite the strong equity market performance last year, we still think some companies remain reasonably priced in Japan and over the quarter we added to a few existing positions that we think are still attractively valued, bringing our Japanese equity exposure up to 18.3% from 16.4% last quarter. As of June 30, 2014 our currency hedges were: 69.6% Japanese yen, 45.5% euro, 29.3% South Korean won, and 20.7% Australian dollar, and collectively they detracted about -0.2% from our return this quarter.
Even though this investment environment (low interest rates, high corporate profit margins) might tempt some portfolio managers to change their investment thinking, at IVA, we continue to stay true to our discipline. Our primary focus is to preserve capital and attempt to deliver a solid absolute return, in excess of nominal GDP growth, by only investing in securities that we believe offer a sufficient margin of safety. We believe too many imbalances still exist in the global economy and there is a reason why interest rates around the world are so low today.

More Coverage
John Molchon isn't trying to keep a secret. It just appears that way.
When Molchon, a senior offensive lineman at Faith Lutheran, received a football scholarship offer in the spring from Fordham, he told only his coaches and parents. That was the first offer.
Early this month, the 6-foot-5, 265-pound tackle attended the elite camp at Boise State. He was so impressive, he left the camp with a scholarship offer — his eighth. He kept that quiet, too.
Rivals.com, which tracks recruiting for college football and basketball, doesn't list Molchon as having any scholarship offers. Also, it doesn't issue him a ranking.
That's because Molchon, unlike other recruits, isn't into self-promotion. Most recruits take to social media to document every step of the process, announcing when they've received an offer, taken a visit or committed.
He won't be able to stay under the radar for long.
"I don't like to tell a lot of people," said Molchon, who also has offers from the University of Buffalo, Colorado State, Kent State, UNLV, UNR and Montana State.
"It's very humbling. I want to get (the news) out the right way. I like to keep it personal between me, my coaches, family and close friends," he said.
Molchon isn't your typical prospect. And not because of his meek approach to the recruiting attention.
He played tight end as a freshman and was a blocking fullback as a sophomore. Last season, when first-year coach Vernon Fox arrived, Molchon asked to move back to tight end.
After giving him some reps in the passing game, Fox and line coach Nate Knight quickly realized Molchon's potential at tackle. All they had to do was convince him of the benefits of playing on the line.
Six months later, Molchon was awarded a state championship ring. When he presented the ring, Fox made sure to remind Molchon of a conversation they had when he was asked to switch positions.
"I figured he would be like any 16-year-old kid and pout about switching positions," Fox said. "But he smiled and said, 'Coach, I just want to win a ring. Whatever it takes.'"
Molchon blossomed into a force, becoming the Division I-A lineman of the year and helping Faith Lutheran win its final 12 games to capture the state title.
When college coaches stopped by to recruit at Faith Lutheran last season and this spring, they would seemingly always ask about the Crusaders' big lineman. He quickly became the most-recruited player in the program's 25-year history.
"It's obvious how athletic he is," Fox said. "He moves really well for a big guy. You look at him and can see his frame has the potential for growth."
Molchon never thought he'd be a college football player. He assumed his ticket to the next level would be in basketball, where he's been a regular in the post for the Faith Lutheran varsity team since his freshman year. He started playing football as an eighth-grader in the offseason because he wanted to have fun and stay in shape.
Turns out the recruiting trail has had its share of memories, especially at the camp on Boise State's unique field.
"It was awesome to get to play on the blue turf. I'm really blessed to have that experience," he said. "It was crazy stepping foot in that facility. I couldn't grasp it."
That's something others would have shared on social media, but it's just not Molchon's style.
"I've learned from my parents. They've instilled the humble approach," he said. "The people who need to know (about his recruiting) will find out the right way. I don't want (the schools recruiting him) to get the wrong message."
When it comes time for Molchon to make a college decision, he'll take the same approach. He'll consult parents and coaches, and consider the school's academics.
"I want him to enjoy his senior year and not get overwhelmed by this," Fox said. "He wishes he can turn off (recruiting) and just play his senior year. The reality, however, is the attention will pick up. The better he plays, the more exposure he'll get."

By Dr. Ken Broda-Bahm:
It has been an up and down week for the Obama administration in the Supreme Court. On Monday, the Justice Department scored a mixed result on Arizona's immigration law preserving the "papers please" policy that Arizona intends to apply to immigrants in that state, allowing police officers to demand proof of citizenship from those who are stopped. Then, this morning, the Court gave a substantial lift to the White House by preserving the individual mandate, a key provision in President Obama's healthcare reform legislation under Congress's taxation power. Commentators have already described the result as "a landmark decision that will impact the nation for decades" on the the signature domestic legislation of the Obama presidency.
The implications of the 193-page decision are still sorting themselves out, and others will write voluminously on the political ramifications, as well as the effects of the decision on the U.S. healthcare system. In keeping with the focus of Persuasive Litigator,however, my first thoughts tend toward the messages for litigators. In this case, I believe that there are some important lessons now, with more sure to emerge over time. Specifically, the takeaways from the verdict and the process relate not only to a political and social milieu that has a direct effect on how today's jurors see litigants, but also bear upon the more general question of how attorneys should learn from, build off, and even 'spin' the wins, the losses, and the mixed results.

WASHINGTON, May 5 (UPI) -- Capital Comment -- Daily news notes, political rumors and important events that shape politics and public policy in Washington and the world from United Press International.
Political Ed-ucation...
The speculation that high-powered Washington lobbyist Ed Gillespie is about to depart K Street for the chairman's office at the Republican National Committee is being dismissed as "conjecture" by some close to the issue. On Monday, Roll Call, a newspaper that covers events on Capitol Hill, ran with an item suggesting that Gillespie, a former Bush campaign aide, was in the process of being chosen a new chairman, replacing former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot, who the story said was headed to a high post in the president's as-yet unformed re-election committee. A source close to Gillespie says the speculation is "a typical Washington parlor game" and that if any changes are contemplated in the RNC's leadership, he is unaware of them.
"There are a lot of folks who think he would be a terrific chairman," the source says, "but until there's a vacancy then any discussion of who might replace Racicot is just idle chatter."
Is 50 the "Red" anniversary? ...
For two years as chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., led sensational inquiries into allegations of Communist subversion and espionage inside the United States government. Now, on the 50th anniversary of those hearings by the Wisconsin Republican, the heretofore-unpublished transcripts of the committee's executive sessions have been released.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, authorized the Senate Historical Office in January 2001 to begin preparing the documents for release. After the committee gavel passed in June 2001, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., approved publication of the records by the General Printing Office.
"These hearings are a part of our national past that we can neither afford to forget nor permit to recur," write Levin and Collins in the preface to the five-volume set.
"I am pleased that these historically important documents are finally being released to the public," Collins said. "Senator Margaret Chase Smith said 50 years ago, 'Those of us who shout the loudest about Americanism in making character assassinations are all too frequently those who, by our own words and acts, ignore some of the basic principles of Americanism.' The McCarthy transcripts will help ensure that we do not forget this important lesson, and that we remain vigilant in upholding the constitutional rights and democratic principles that are the strength of this nation."
Addicted to love...
Former U.S. Education Secretary and Drug Czar William Bennett is not, says wife Elayne, addicted to gambling, nor has he lost millions of dollars at casinos in Atlantic City, N.J., and Las Vegas. Stories began to circulate Friday that Bennett, the author of a number of best-selling books including The Book of Virtues, might have lost millions while gambling on video poker and slot machines. The Washington Monthly and Newsweek magazines, saying they had examined internal casino documents, reported the former Reagan and Bush 41 administration official received preferred customer status at four casinos and that he had amassed losses running into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
On Sunday Elayne Bennett told a USA Today reporter that her husband was "not addicted" to gambling. The Bennett family, she said, is "financially solvent" and that "all our bills are paid."
Future soft for wares...
The Information Technology Association of America, a leading trade group, says the technology sector will continue to experience a jobless recovery in 2003 unless there is a dramatic turnaround in the national economy.
A telephone survey conducted for ITAA of 400 hiring managers from IT and non-IT companies nationwide found demand for hiring IT workers has reached an historic low.
The 493,000 positions over the next 12 months that can expected to be filled is down from 1.6 million at the start of 2000 and less than one-half of the predicted 1.1 million positions needed at the start of 2002. Sixty-seven percent of those interviewed said they thought hiring demand would stay the same or decline over the next 12 months.
Companies are also moving more positions overseas, ITAA says, with 12 percent of IT companies and 3 percent of non-IT companies saying they have already opened up overseas operations. Large IT companies were most likely to say they've made this move -- 22 percent have already moved work offshore. Additionally, 15 percent of IT firms say they will, or are undecided about, moving jobs overseas in the next 12 months, while 4 percent of non-IT firms say the same.
The ITAA annual survey placed the size of the U.S. IT workforce at 10.3 million, with hiring and terminations amounting to less-than-one-percent growth during first quarter of 2003, with the IT workforce growing by 86,000.

This article is a guild information page for Samurai of Executus Europe.
The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft history or occurrences which are accurate for all realms. The characters and events listed are of an independent nature and applied for roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinions from a limited playerbase only. Guild pages must comply with the guild page policy.
Samurai is a horde guild on Executus EU. The guild was originally well-known for having members only from Greece, since its creation in July 2006 Vanilla. In 2010, and after a break for almost 10 months, the guild reformed in Executus EU with International Players and totally different scope on the game. What didnt changed at all, was our hunger to ... rape bosses...
Lykaios / Lefteris have worked since 2000 in 2 of the biggest Gaming Communities in Greece (Gamenet, Gamecity / Filecity) and then founded gamers.gr which was bought 2 years afterwards from Germanos Group of Companies where he was appointed as Content Manager in the new company. As he was already a player in various communities like Counterstrike, Unreal Tournament, Quake and Battlefield through the gaming communities he worked and the gaming servers he created, he decided to create a guild in the world of Warcraft. Prior to this, he managed to play since the beta of the game on the US Servers, as a Dwarf Paladin (yes we know, bliax!!) and progress the Vanilla WoW till Nefarian and BWL.
"That period was very valuable, as i learned what were the flaws of an international big guild and also managed to have an in depth view of the whole community from my various trips abroad to cover Gaming Events like E3 at Los Angeles, GDC at Germany, Tokyo Game Show at Japan or other countries as well like UK, Ireland, Italy, France, Cyprus, etc"
Samurai created as a solid Greek Guild, in a period where Greek Hardcore guilds were very few and a national guild was very difficult to succeed (ofc nowadays, with Paragon this is not an issue anymore and well done to the guys !!) At first we played on Genjuros Server, (or we may say Greekjuros) during Vanilla WoW, up to Zul'Gurub and little Molten Core. Burning Crusade was released and we started playing as all at Karazhan Instance and started building again a raiding team. After 8-9 months on Genjuros, we decided to leave the server as the lag was very high and there was a general shortage on specific classes.At Genjuros except the Vanilla clearance of ZG and some kills at MC we managed to finish Karazhan.
We arrived on Twilight's Hammer where it was the center of Greek Guilds at that time with 3 big guilds making good progress like Order of Guldan, Circle of Nerzhul and Angels of Wrath. We continued building our Greek Guild with players and we advanced through all the instances that existed at that time (detailed kills info can be found in our Kills Section) up to Black Temple (pre-nerfed everything ofcourse).
We killed Illidan as 3rd Greek Guild (after 1 hour of the second one, Con - AOW were already defeated in progress terms since SSC) and we continued to SWP where we managed to top the first place among Greek Guilds, after our 1st Greek Kill on Brutallus.
At that time also, we managed to be the first one (and sole one till now) Greek guild that got a sponsorship agreement with Hassler & Miller, a compumputers & Electronics company in the Balcans and also Cannibal, the biggest Font Creators in Greece. In the next months, we continued kill first in Greece bosses at Naxxramas (we were moved to Karazhan as the lag was again an enemy on TH), Obsidian Sanctum, Eye of Eternity and accomplished achievements that no other Greek Guild managed to do (and few International) like Immortal.
That period, while we were playing already for 3.5 years, we started an internal talk whether its good or not to continue play as hardcore we were playing at that time. (these 3.5 years passed with many months playing 7x7 and spend 10-12 hours per raid, numbers that except the Greek First position, gave us 250 ranking among guilds in World). After some thought, Lykaios decided to stop raiding and his decision was followed by the main Raid Leader and officer of the Guild Vagouras. Lykaios thought that was not the right move to let the guild continue without them, and stopped raiding all together, kept the guild as inactive and said everyone to find a new guild.
"After 3.5 years of hardcore gaming, i thought that enough was...enough. A lot of the players were not ... students anymore, my work needed at that time more hours to spend to it and ok Greek are not Finnish to play like them. I believe trully that Finland and Greece are very different countries, i will analyse this further and with more details in the next months maybe, in a blog. We had 2 options at that time, either keep the guild with other players + raid leaders and have the opportunity for me to play in the guild as long as i want whenever i want and therefore have my loots, my epics and whatever i need and the other option to stop raiding for some time at least. I thought that leaving our child -> the guild, in other people hands at that time, was not the right thing to do, so i decided the second option was more right, and stopped everything at April 2009"
Many raiders stopped the game entirely, others joined other high end guilds or created their own.
On February 2010, we were back :) Many people that played with us all these years agreed to join me on this rebirth (reform is a better word, as guild was re-formed in a new basel. Loot Council - instead of Zero Sum DKP we were using all these years and International members). Our goal is not to play as hardcore as we played in the past, time will tell though, as end game raiding is in our blood veins
"Join me in this new era of Samurai. We play the game as a guild too long, so we can manage the Loot Council and we have seen some of the biggest bosses till now in the game. Be part of a community that likes to kill bosses and slay alliance whenever they got the chance. Experience Samurai Raiding and see how it is to play in a solid raiding guild. In the next kill, i will be in our photo, showing the world our accomplishments. Where you will be mate? Next to us, side by side or just looking the photo? Choose your destiny"

Cardinal and Van Buren were among the teams competing for the Southeast Iowa Superconference title Thursday at Cardinal High School.
West Burlington Notre Dame won on both the girls' and the boys' sides of the action.
Cardinal took third in the boys' competition. Charlie Rachford won the 110-meter hurdles, and also finished second in the 200-meter dash with the time of 22.98.
Josh Ramos got second in the discus throw. Tyler Albert and Trevor Albert were able to earn second places at the meet as well.
"We are going into regionals understanding that it is maybe the toughest in the state," Cardinal coach Jerald Harter said. "[But] we have a few shots at qualifying for state."
Van Buren finished fourth overall with 76 points. The Warriors pulled out wins in the 4x800-meter dash and in the distance medley. The Comets took second in that race, finishing less than a second behind Van Buren.
Van Buren's Gavin Heald finished third in the high jump. Garrett Saunders earned third place in the 400-meter hurdles, while Vaughn Helling got fourth in the 100-meter dash with the time of 12.34.

text: February 13, 2014 SHARE CM Punk Chants Concerning WWE While there's a general feeling backstage in WWE that the CM Punk chants are already starting to fade out on their own, The Wrestling Observer is reporting there is still concern over the March 3 edition of RAW in Chicago. The possibility of a rowdy crowd in favor of their hometown superstar is much more probable, and it's not something WWE is ignoring. The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan are both scheduled to return on Feb. 24, one week prior to the Chicago show. However, there are talks of using one or both of them on the Chicago show as a counter method to the CM Punk chants. Neither stars have been advertised for the March 3 event as of yet. As mentioned, despite the Chicago event coming up, the overall feeling is that the Punk chants have become a non-factor. There was worry heading into the Los Angeles RAW on Monday that fans would hijack the Cena/Orton main event, so the idea was to use Bryan right before the match to sway the crowd from chanting. With very little to speak of happening in L.A., the CM Punk craze seems to have worn off, with the possible exception of Chicago. In related news, The Observer is also reporting that there are mostly mixed feelings regarding Punk's decision to leave. Virtually no one agrees with the way he left — walking out just before RAW started – there are some that believe he had valid concerns. It's also going around that Punk was believed to be popular, but that he wasn't a ticket seller and only on a few occasions did he move the needle in pay-per-view business.

Paddy sent these dueling headlines to me, along with the post headline. I am but the messenger of her witty observations:
Spring Housing Market Seeing Green Shoots
Study: Rising Sea Level Threatens Homes of 4 Million Americans
Global warming is a hoax. Pay no attention to those pesky warnings, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, droughts, hurricanes, heavy downpours, heatwaves, and Snowgeddons.
That last part was mine. 😉
