I went out and bought myself a 35mm f/1.8 AF-S Nikkor lens yesterday. This lens has a much larger aperture than the lens I was using before. For those that don't use cameras that means that this lens takes in a significantly larger amount of light. The simplicity of the lens also results in a much crisper image.
I took this in Dundas Square.

Did you check and make sure the database connection information is correct? I believe the addon uses mythtv as the password, this maynot jive with the password set in mythtv, I know on mine it was different.
Also what version of mythtv are you using? I installed xbmc inside of a mythbuntu 12.04.
RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - KeithLM - 2012-05-21
I believe I left the password to the default, all that's an interesting question. Of course the myth frontend I put on my windows box connected right away, so I assume that used the default password. I'll try changing it tonight just to see what happens.
Here's the versions for everything myth on my backend:

I get the feeling I'm getting these RECORDING_LIST_CHANGE UPDATE messages also after start-up while there is no obvious change in the recording list. It might well be that MythTV is incorrectly sending these messages.
How do you commit/push commits you've made on the master branch also to the Eden-pvr (and/or visa verse)?

Thanks. In terms of ultimately getting the cmyth into the upstream project, is the plan to first get your branch merged into opdenkamp/xbmc, and then cmyth will be "carried along" into upstream when opdenkamp/xbmc is merged, or were you going to wait until opdenkamp/xbmc was merged upstream, and then submit your pull request directly to upstream xbmc?
RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - KeithLM - 2012-05-21
I've decided to try this on my main XBMC machine to see if I can have any luck with it. Unfortunately I can't build because of some dependency issue. I don't have curl.h. I've run into some issue installing the following:
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
I've tried installing librtmp-dev but it conflicts with something else. It's just a long chain where I got some version of something that conflicts with another version that I need. Any thoughts on how I can get around this?

Not sure if anyone else is seeing this, and they're too big to actually view, but my xbmc.log file is reaching about 50gb is 24 hours, then filling all space on my /home partition and dying with this version. I tried turning off loglevel in advanced settings (to -1) but it didn't seem to help.

Myth 0.25 support is now available with this plugin, and it should be a simple matter of getting and building tsp's source and if you use the Eden-pvr branch you will get a brand new MythTV enabled Eden version. Should work with your current settings. Lots of helpful links in the first post of this thread, take a look there and let us know how it works out for you.
RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - mastix - 2012-05-22
Hi dodoadoodoo,
I've checked out the code from the git repo and switched to the Eden-PVR branch.
[email protected]:/usr/src/xbmc# git branch
I ran the bootstrap and the configure command:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-vaapi --enable-libbluray --enable-libcec
Everything went through smoothely...
BUT, when I execute the make command:
make -j2
It crashes with this error message... and I have no idea why this is happening...
[email protected]:/usr/src/xbmc# make -j2
Does anyone of you have a clue?
RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - bilbonvidia - 2012-05-22
I just do "sudo make" no -j2 whats that for?

It allows make to run parallel jobs. 2 in this case. Can at times cause issues with compiling. Try it without.
RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - tsp42 - 2012-05-22
KeithLM/opteron123: The new version should produce a more useful log. Could you pastebin a new log from the new version?
InoD: I use "git checkout Eden-pvr; git cherry-pick master~0" to apply the lastest commit from the master branch to the Eden-pvr branch
fiveisalive: I will push it to opdenkamp's repo. Most likely to the new addon repo. Although the API changes will have to go into the xbmc pvr repo.
rdoac: The huge log file is probably caused by the"Include more debug information in the log" being enabled. If not could you report back what is causing the log file to be so big.
bilbonvidia: The channel changing bug should be fixed now.
RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - bas.t - 2012-05-22
EDIT: This is not needed anymore. I think commit 91bfc4eaed took care of this.
I have got a pm asking me how I upgraded my boost environment on Debian Squeeze, refering to this post
Since anybody might get stuck at this point, I am posting directives to upgrade libboost* on Debian Squeeze.
First open synaptic and purge all libboost* packages. Mind you, you should keep the ones that want to remove packages, as they are installed as a dependency.
Exception on this rule:
You can (and should) remove libboost* packages that only want to remove other libboost* packages
Next do:
rm -rf /usr/include/boost ## just in case...
Compiling takes some time, just be patient.
RE: New MythTV add-on using libcmyth - KeithLM - 2012-05-22
mastix, I posted a reply earlier, but I don't see it, so I'm not sure what happened. Anyways what you are showing there is a compile error, for some reason a variable or function can't be found by the compiler. To me, and perhaps I'm mistaken about this, there appears to be something odd about your configuration because you are running make in /usr/src/xbmc but your source is in /home/mastix/xbmc. I would run all your commands in /home/mastix/xbmc and see if that helps.
tsp42, I just did a git pull and see a number of changes for cmyth. When I get home I'll give it a try and see what happens.
Has anybody that's updated from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 been able to compile this code? I'm still having trouble with libcurl4. I'm doing most of this on my nettop box running 11.10, and I'd like to try it on the machine that is running myth, but that system is running 12.04 and configure won't complete at this point.

I have built it on Mythbuntu 12.04. I believe there is an entry somewhere in this thread that discribes the fix for curl. It may have been as simple as going to synaptic and pulling down libcurl-dev, sorry the exact details have faded from my memory, too much bourbon

McMorris Rodgers Statement: Hearing on Developments in State Workers' Compensation Systems
WASHINGTON, D.C. | November 17, 2010
Today nearly every American worker is covered by a system of workers' compensation. Disability benefits are available in the event of an illness or injury that occurs on the job to help replace lost wages and cover the cost of medical care when an individual is unable to return to work. For many workers and their families, workers' compensation is a critical lifeline during a very difficult time.
Workers are considered disabled if they are unable to work or are only able to work at a limited earnings level as the result of an injury or illness. It may sound like a simple concept, but as any worker can tell you, the reality of workers' compensation is anything but simple. With an economy as diverse as ours, it is no surprise that there are varying definitions and degrees of disabilities with their own sets of rules and levels of compensation applied in different ways depending upon the industry and workplace.
For example, a software engineer and a construction worker with the same injury face different challenges in performing their jobs. An engineer with a broken ankle may be fit to return to work, while the construction worker may spend months away from the job site.
The complexity of workers' compensation is why in most cases states and the federal government rely upon the expertise of the American Medical Association. Since 1958, the AMA has provided medical professionals and policymakers with a guide to evaluate and quantify impairment. The AMA guide is an important part of the process to ensure injured workers get the assistance they need and taxpayer resources are spent appropriately.
The AMA's guidance is periodically updated to ensure workers' compensation systems reflect the latest advances in medicine, science, and technology. Perhaps a particular injury or illness that rendered an individual disabled twenty years ago can be overcome today thanks to a new medical device or therapy. I look forward to hearing the testimony of Mr. Uehlein who will address the AMA's most recent guides.
Another issue we will look at today is the interaction between workers' compensation and the Social Security Disability Insurance program, and whether a decrease in demand for one program leads to an increase in demand for the other. Again, while not squarely in this committee's jurisdiction, the information should help provide members with a clearer picture of the disability assistance available to workers.
Today, we are discussing a complex issue that has the potential to affect millions of workers at some point in their careers. We all want to see workers get the care and assistance they and their families need in the unfortunate event that an illness or injury occurs. State and local authorities, working closely with knowledgeable professionals in the medical community, are responsible for operating these systems and we appreciate this opportunity to learn more about their efforts on behalf of our nation's workers.

bunch of watery discharge came out!
April 13th, 2011
10 days have passed after my period and I have a lot of clear watery discharge, sometimes with light blood. Last month I had also noticed light blood in discharge after my period, but it is the first time when my discharge is clear, watery and very abundant. I'm very wary so please tell me what would be the reason for that.
I mention that my menstrual cycle is usually normal (28 days) and it lasts 5-6 days.

Welcome to ehealthforum
Clear watery discharge from vagina is a normal phenemonon and part of self cleansing mechanism of the body.It can vary in amount during different phases of the cycle and increases during ovulation,pregnancy,stress etc.
If the discharge is associated with any odour,changes in colour and consistency then it is indicative of infection like fungal or bacterial infection.Spotting after periods can be due to birth control pill intake,pregnancy,hormonal imbalances etc.
If you notice any symptoms indicative of infection kindly visit a Gynaecologist for evaluation.
Take Care!

STAFF and volunteers at a Chester-le-Street charity store are urging people to donate furniture to help raise vital funds to help sick animals.
PDSA supporters with settees, three piece suites, desks, chairs and large electrical items should contact the shop to arrange a free collection.
For health and safety reasons, the store can only accept furniture that has the fire-warning label relating to the 1988 regulations.
Loading article content
A PDSA spokesman said: "If you've recently redecorated, had a clear out or moved house and have unwanted furniture taking up your valuable space, then why not donate your items to PDSA?
"Wardrobes and bookcases, as well as small items such as dressers, tables and chairs, are very popular with our customers who are looking to furnish their homes at bargain prices.
"All donations will help us raise valuable funds to care for the sick and injured pets of local people in need."
The store is on Front Street and raises funds to provide PDSA-funded veterinary treatment in the local area.
Donations can also be taken to the shop from Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 5pm.

I am moving to New York City from Oman to start an acting career. I am a devout Muslim, and I was wondering what forums and opportunities there are for Muslims in the New York theater. Are there Muslim-themed theaters, or theaters looking for Muslim actors to do Muslim plays? Are there theaters that require daily Muslim prayer? I would really appreciate your insight, as I hope my transition to the New York theater scene will be an easy one.
—Muhammad bin Busy, Oman
Dear Muhammad Bin Busy:
America's reputation as a melting pot—a place where a vast variety of cultures intermingle—holds true as ever. And nowhere is it truer than here in New York City, where so many of our ancestors first landed. Here they encountered (among other things) the new challenge of maintaining their native identities, customs, and faiths in this very different, multicultural landscape. Some who'd spent their entire lives dwelling only among their own people suddenly found themselves adjusting to having an Italian landlord, an Irish schoolteacher, a Jewish grocer, Greek neighbors, and so on. Today that balancing act continues, and I think most would say it works reasonably well here. New York offers exclusive group-specific opportunities, surrounded by a society that, by the very way it functions, compels us to "melt" together. (Especially in the summer.)
All of that is to say, though you will find fellow Muslim actors and some Muslim-themed plays, my research on your question indicates that Muslim-only theater companies are rare.
Born in Kuwait and raised by a Muslim father and a Christian mother, actor and playwright Sevan Greene has been living and working in New York City for four years. "While I am not aware of any theater or theater group that is solely focused on Muslim actors," Greene says, "there is a healthy Middle Eastern theater community in which some of the actors are Muslim. The focus is on our shared cultural heritage instead of a religious one, as we have different faiths within the community. There is a solid community base to become a part of as you wend your way through the industry."
If finding a professional, strictly Muslim theater company whose regimen includes the required daily prayer is important to you, you may need to rethink your move. It's "really hard, because if you're really a devout Muslim, then you wouldn't do any theater work unless it's connected to a mosque," says New York actor-comedian Rasha Zamamiri. "There are many opportunities for this overseas, in the Middle East, but unfortunately, I don't know of any in New York. I would maybe try to get in touch with Arabic mosques in Astoria [in Queens] or Bay Ridge [in Brooklyn] and see if they do that. It's not going to be anything big, though, like it is in the Middle East. It's probably going to be in the same realm as your local church doing the story of Jesus' birth during Christmas."
On the other hand, if you can accept this apparent separation of church and stage, it seems you'll find a welcoming community of professional theater folk whose roots are in your part of the world. I was fortunate enough to connect with Arian Moayed, the Iranian-born actor who received a Tony Award nomination for best featured actor in a play in 2011 for his performance in "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" and just finished playing Edgar in "King Lear" at the Public Theater. Moayed offers some good places to start connecting:
"There are definitely some Middle Eastern companies in New York City, and definitely some Middle Eastern actors/creators/directors that are here as well. The most prominent two organizations in New York City are Noor Theatre and the Arab-American Comedy Festival—wonderful creators, actors, comics, and writers who create work supporting and developing the stories of the Middle East. The goals are not necessarily political but mostly about expanding the stories of the Middle East—stories ranging from immigration to Islam, comedy to drama…. And the influence has gone from Off-Off-Broadway to Off-Broadway and recently Broadway." He adds, "Manhattan Theatre Club, the Public Theater, and many other theaters offer many opportunities for Middle Eastern stories." Still, Moayed agrees, "As far as the religious aspect of the question, I haven't heard or know of a specifically Muslim theater company and/or an organization with prayer services."
Noor Theatre was founded by three New York theater makers: Lameece Issaq, Maha Chehlaoui, and Nancy Vitale. I shared your letter with them via the company's website and got this lovely response:
Hi, Michael.
Thanks very much for your email. Happy to give you an answer:
Noor Theatre is dedicated to supporting, presenting, and developing the work of artists of Middle Eastern descent. We aim to create work that transcends cultural boundaries and speaks to all people. We are presently a company-in-residence at New York Theatre Workshop, where we will be co-producing a play called "Food and Fadwa" in May of 2012.
We are always thrilled to meet new artists and would be very happy to meet this actor from Oman. While ours is not an organization that is specific to any religion, we deeply respect the diversity within the Middle Eastern community and are proud to support a growing pool of talented artists from different faiths and cultural backgrounds.
Please do have him check out our website—www.noortheatre.org—and sign up for our monthly newsletter to learn more about our work and upcoming events.
Many thanks and warm regards,
Lameece Issaq, co-founder and artistic director, Noor Theatre
See that? You already have a contact (via this Russian-Italian columnist). Not that anything is easy here; assuredly, it takes time to get a career up and running. Moayed took a proactive approach. "When I moved to New York City," he says, "I immediately started my own company, Waterwell (www.waterwell.org), to tell new stories, ideas, and forms for the American theater." He encourages you to follow his example: "The New York theater scene has many opportunities to make brown theater. But my advice to you…is to create your own work and opportunities.
There is nothing more valuable than creating work that means something to you and that you have created. The creation and devising process is tougher, but ultimately more rewarding." And when you come across fellow Middle Eastern actors, says Moayed, introduce yourself: "Meet us after shows and talk to us.

Mining application submitted on U of M land
ROSEMOUNT, Minn. -- Dakota Aggregates has submitted an application for a large-scale mining permit on University of Minnesota property.
In 2011, the University of Minnesota Board of Regents chose Dakota Aggregate to mine and run related operations on approximately 1,722 acres on the western edge of its UMore Park property in Dakota County. Underneath the UMore property lies an estimated 170 million tons of sand and gravel.
The mining will provide income for the creation of a planned residential community that could bring 20,000 to 30,000 people to the area. The sustainable community will integrate environmental, socio-cultural and economic opportunities with a specific focus on innovations in renewable energy, education and lifelong learning, health and wellness, the natural environment and regional economic development.
The company hopes to start mining in 2013.
The Rosemount planning commission has scheduled two public hearings as part of the permitting process.
The planning commission will make a recommendation to the city council.
The city isn't the only regulating body Dakota Aggregates will need to get the go ahead from. Dakota County and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency also must approve the plans.

Carbon Dioxide Laser
A carbon dioxide laser uses carbon dioxide gas as the active substance in a highly focused beam of light to cut or destroy tissue during surgery. Laser light cleans (sterilizes) and seals as it cuts tissue, which reduces bleeding and pain and shortens the healing time.
Lasers are used for many different types of surgery, including dental surgery, eye surgery, surgery on the female reproductive organs, hemorrhoid surgery, and plastic surgery.
The word "laser" is an acronym of "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation."

The outbreak of war in Europe in September 1939 posed a serious challenge to U.S. neutrality. On the one hand, Americans' sympathies lay overwhelmingly with Great Britain and its allies; on the other hand, public sentiment overwhelmingly favored staying out of the war. Through a study of contemporary documents, students learn about the difficult choices faced by the Roosevelt administration during the first fifteen months of World War II, culminating in the decision to provide direct military aid to Great Britain.
After learning that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor, thus ensuring that the United States would enter World War II, Prime Minister Winston Churchill breathed a sigh of relief. "Hitler's fate was sealed," he would later recall. "Mussolini's fate was sealed. As for the Japanese, they would be ground to powder. All the rest was merely the proper application of overwhelming force."
Churchill's sentiment was easy to understand. In terms of raw materials and industrial capacity the United States alone was far superior to Germany, Italy, and Japan combined. Now that America had joined Great Britain and the Soviet Union in the fight against the Axis, victory seemed assured.
Yet it was neither raw materials nor industrial capacity alone that was able to overcome the Axis Powers. No doubt the Allies had tremendous advantages in terms of technology and productive capacity, but ultimately World War II was won by members of the armed forces—real, flesh-and-blood men (and sometimes women) who risked death and dismemberment in the name of freedom. They fought everywhere from the steppes of Russia to the jungles of Southeast Asia, from the icy waters of the North Atlantic to the sun-drenched deserts of North Africa. And after nearly four long years they achieved victory.
In this unit, students will examine the role that the United States played in bringing about this victory. They will learn about the strategies that were developed, and how they played out in reality. They will become familiar with the two major theaters of the war—Pacific and European—and how developments in one affected the course of the fighting in the other. Finally, they will learn how the various military campaigns—on land and sea, and in the air—all contributed to the war's successful conclusion.

In the years after World War I Americans quickly reached the conclusion that their country's participation in that war had been a disastrous mistake, one which should never be repeated again. During the 1920s and 1930s, therefore, they pursued a number of strategies aimed at preventing war.
America on the Sidelines: The United States and World Affairs, 1931–1941
A comprehensive student interactive giving the user a full scope of America's political and diplomatic responses to world events between the two world wars.
At first the major players in this effort were American peace societies, many of which were part of larger international movements. Their agenda called for large-scale disarmament and an international treaty to abolish war. Their efforts bore fruit, as 1922 saw the signing of a major agreement among the great powers to reduce their numbers of battleships. Six years later most of the world's nations signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact, in which the signatories pledged never again to go to war with one another.
However, events in the early- to mid-1930s led many Americans to believe that such agreements were insufficient. After all, they did not deter Japan from occupying Manchuria in 1931, nor four years later did they stop the German government from authorizing a huge new arms buildup, or Italy from invading Ethiopia. The U.S. Congress responded by passing the Neutrality Acts, a series of laws banning arms sales and loans to countries at war, in the hope that this would remove any potential reason that the United States might have for entering a European conflict.
When in 1939 war did break out between Germany on the one hand, and Britain and France on the other, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dutifully invoked the Neutrality Acts. However, he believed that this was a fundamentally different war from World War I. Germany, he believed (and most Americans agreed with him) was in this case a clear aggressor. Roosevelt therefore sought to provide assistance for the Allies, while still keeping the United States out of the war. He began by asking Congress to amend the neutrality laws to allow arms sales to the Allies. Later on, after German forces overran France, the president asked Congress for a massive program of direct military aid to Great Britain—an initiative that Roosevelt dubbed "Lend-Lease." In both cases the legislature agreed to FDR's proposals, but only after intense debate.
The question of how involved the United States should become in the European war deeply divided the country. On the one hand, Roosevelt and the so-called "internationalists" claimed that a program of aid to Great Britain and other countries fighting against Germany would make actual U.S. participation in the war unnecessary. On the other side stood those who were called "isolationists," who believed that the president's policies were making it increasingly likely that the country would end up in another disastrous foreign war. This debate was still raging when Japanese aircraft attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. At this point it was clear that, like it or not, the United States would be a full participant in the Second World War.

America on the Sidelines: The United States and World Affairs, 1931–1941
A comprehensive student interactive giving the user a full scope of America's political and diplomatic responses to world events between the two world wars.
Although most Americans were shocked by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the outbreak of war between the two countries came as no surprise to most observers of international affairs. Indeed, the war could be seen as the culmination of tensions between the two countries that can be traced back to 1915, when Japan issued its so-called "Twenty-One Demands" on China. These demands, presented as an ultimatum to the Chinese government, would have amounted to giving Japan a privileged status in certain parts of the country. This was in direct conflict with the stated policy of the United States toward China—the famous "Open Door," in which all countries were to respect Chinese sovereignty and enjoy equal access to Chinese trade.
Exacerbating the situation were the economic problems of Japan in the late 1920s, made worse by the Great Depression which swept the industrialized world in the early 1930s. As an island country with few natural resources, Japan was dependent on international trade, which was disrupted by the economic crisis. Moreover, Japan was overpopulated, but other countries—most importantly the United States—closed the door to Japanese emigrants. Increasingly Japan's military leaders became convinced that only through domination of China could they solve their country's problems. Japan's excess population could be settled in the largely undeveloped Chinese province of Manchuria, while Japanese industry could be revitalized through control of China's import market.
Therefore the 1930s saw a steadily increasing campaign of Japanese aggression in China, beginning with the invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and culminating in the outbreak of full-scale war between the two powers in 1937. Each instance of aggression resulted in denunciations from the United States, but the administrations of the time—that of Herbert Hoover until 1933, and of Franklin D. Roosevelt thereafter-understood that there was no will on the part of the American public to fight a war in East Asia. Therefore U.S. policy by the late 1930s consisted of nothing more than a refusal to recognize Japanese conquests, limited economic sanctions against Japan, and equally limited military and economic assistance for China.
Nevertheless, the Japanese bitterly resented even these halfway measures, and when their war against China bogged down in 1939 they blamed outside interference for the stubborn refusal of the Chinese to submit to their terms. They sought a way to prevent foreign aid from reaching China, and to replace the foreign resources that they could no longer acquire due to American economic sanctions.
In Germany's lightning victories of April–June 1940 Tokyo believed it had found the answer to both problems. In Southeast Asia and the South Pacific lay a number of territories controlled by France, the Netherlands, and Great Britain, which none of those countries appeared capable of defending. If they were to fall into Japanese hands Tokyo's strategic dilemma, it seemed, could be solved. After concluding an alliance with Germany in July 1940, Japan pressured the French government into allowing Japanese troops to occupy the northern part of French Indochina. In the following year Japanese forces occupied the entire country.
The U.S. government met this latest series of aggressive moves with a steadily escalating campaign of economic sanctions, so that by late summer of 1941 Japan was no longer able to purchase any materials from the United States. This was a tremendous blow for many reasons, but particularly because Japan was almost completely dependent upon U.S. imports for its supply of oil. Without oil, of course, Tokyo would have to abandon its war against China—a humiliation that no Japanese leader would accept.
The result was a frenzy of diplomatic maneuvering between Japan and the United States throughout the second half of 1941. However, Tokyo knew that time was running out; if the United States failed to drop its trade sanctions Japan would run out of oil within months. Therefore Japan's leaders made a fateful decision-if no settlement could be reached with Washington by the end of November there would be war. Moreover, the Japanese naval command concluded that this war must begin with the most devastating attack possible against the United States—an air strike, using carrier-based planes, against the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. The result, of course, would be a four-year conflict that, in the end, would prove disastrous for Japan.
In this four-lesson curriculum unit, students begin by exploring through contemporary documents the rise of animosity between the United States and Japan beginning in World War I and continuing over the next two decades . They consider next through primary source documents and an interactive timeline the overall principles which underlay both Japanese and American foreign policy in the mid- to late-1930. Students turn then to examine through primary documents and maps why Japan embarked on its policy of aggression against China, also considering the U.S. response to this new policy, and how it contributed to war between the United States and Japan. Finally they are asked to put themselves in the shoes of U.S. and Japanese diplomats in the final months of 1941, desperately trying to reach a settlement that will avoid war. Through the use of primary documents and an interactive map and timeline, they will consider whether there was any reasonable chance of preventing the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific.

Darley-owned colt Epaulette got his autumn off to a flyer when second in the TJ Smith and with no Black Caviar he gets a chance to go one better in the Group 1 2013 All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on Saturday.
The three-year-old is a consistent performer and has proven himself in the top grade.
It's not simply a "turn up and win" scenario as the son of Commands will have to defeat an all-star pair in All Too Hard and More Joyous.
But jockey Kerrin McEvoy isn't conceding defeat and expects his mount to stand up on Saturday.
"Obviously you've got to have confidence he will run well given his last run," McEvoy said.
So will Epaulette upset the big two? Or will they be too strong for their lower profile rival? Keep reading for stats that matter as well as the pros and cons about Epaulette's All Aged Stakes chances.
- Barrier: 6
- Jockey: Kerrin McEvoy
- Trainer: Peter Snowden
- Owners: Sheikh Mohammed
- Age: 3YO

Why Epaulette Can Win the 2013 All Aged Stakes
- Was outstanding first-up when second to Black Caviar in the TJ Smith
- Should improve from the first-up run
- Unbeaten at the distance, including in a Group 1 Golden Rose
- Has one start at the track for a runner-up finish
- Will benefit from strong pace up front
Why Epaulette Can't Win the 2013 All Aged Stakes
- Takes on two horses who are far more proven in the top grade
- Yet to beat the older horses
- Was beaten 2 1/2 lengths by All Too Hard in last year's Caulfield Guineas

The increasing uncertainty about the debt crisis is putting financial markets under pressure. The Amsterdam stock exchange opened almost two points lower this morning. However analysts had expected poorer results. The MidKap Index of Dutch medium-sized companies fell 1.8 percent following a decision to suspend financial help for Greece until a referendum on the euro has been held. Other European stock exchanges also opened much lower.
Financial markets will probably remain jumpy until the beginning of December when the referendum is due to be held, according to stock exchange trader Rob Koenders of Harmony Vermogensbeheerder, as the poll could result in a no-vote.
Investors will be watching what happens at the G20 summit held in France on Thursday and Friday. They will also keep an eye on the European Central Bank's decision on interest rates, while processing a series of company results for the third quarter at the same time.
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou surprised European leaders earlier this week by announcing a referendum to muster support for the stringent austerity measures following mass protests at a national holiday parade.
After a crisis meeting with Greek Prime Minister on Wednesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced that Greece would not be receiving the next instalment of 8 billion euros in financial aid until the referendum had been held.
In the Far East, the main stock exchanges showed losses on Thursday. In Tokyo, the stock exchange was closed due to a national holiday. Meanwhile on the other side of the ocean, Wall Street ended with profits on Wednesday after a promising employment figures lifted the mood.
European stock exchanges also ended in high spirits on Wednesday. In Amsterdam the AEX-closed 0.7 percent higher at 298.21points. The MidKap index ended unchanged at 466.65 points. In London, Paris and Frankfurt stock exchanges closed 2.3 percent higher.
The value of the euro was just as high before the European stock exchanges opened at 1.3687 dollars as at the end of Wednesday.

Ghostface ft. Raheem DeVaughn - Baby
When word first got out that Ghostface Killah was planning to release an R&B album, fan reactions were mixed—many doubted the rapper could fine-tune his sung vocals enough to carry a full set. As further details emerged, however, it became clear that The Wizard of Poetry would still be a rap album—Ghostface will simply be spitting over slower beats than usual, and will be joined by some of the biggest names in today's R&B game. For an idea of the LP's style, take a listen to potential single Baby, which finds the one-time playboy settled down with one woman and preparing for a new addition to the family—whether they end up with a boy or a girl, they know the newborn will inherit its parents' best qualities. A few might criticize Raheem DeVaughn's use of Auto-Tune ( "He doesn't need it!"), but the singer's smooth, studio-enhanced vocals sound right at home over Rashad's mellow boardwork. If Baby is any indication, The Wizard of Poetry (set to drop September 29th) will prove once and for all that Ghostface can venture out, try new things, and make grown-man music without "selling out".

Grain trader Emerald Group says it's selling wheat months earlier than usual, because a lower Australian dollar has made the commodity more competitive.
The dollar has dropped to around 90 US cents and Brian Dalitz from Emerald says it's led to one of the busiest July selling periods since deregulation.
"It definitely is keeping Australian grain competitive, so we are seeing more business this time of year," Mr Dalitz said.
"Definitely as far as consistency in Australian pricing, I think the marketing program smoothed out over a longer period is definitely beneficial to competitive pricing."
The National Australia Bank says the recent dive in the Australian dollar has been the difference between grain farmers making some profit or none at all.
The bank's Tim Glass says farmers would have been in trouble if the dollar hadn't come down.
"If we hadn't seen this Aussie dollar fall, and farmers had to sell their wheat for this year under $250 a tonne, there are many farmers where that compresses their margins to break-even or a very small margin that doesn't cover yield risk," Mr Glass said.
"So it's really been the difference between making some profit and having a very skinny year, at this stage of the game."

Police say they have identified human remains found in a wooded area near a golf course north of Toronto.
York Regional Police say the remains found Sunday near the Uplands Golf and Country Club in Vaughan are those of Robert Hagans, 76, of Toronto.
Hagans was reported missing in July 2011.
Police say the investigation and processing of the scene continues but there's no evidence to suggest foul play.
Investigators began scouring the area around the golf course earlier this week after someone walking through the area found a human skull.

Alastair M. Robinson wrote:The easiest way is probably going to be to create an input profile for each image, using the IT8 chart contained within (as per Argyll's instructions for scanner profiling), and then transform between them - or create a devicelink from them. Or were you hoping to accomplish this using a single non-devicelink profile?
Pascal de Bruijn wrote:
I was hoping that indeed...
You always need one device link profile or two device profiles to transform an image from one device space to another.
(I don't want to get lost in details of abstract profiles. You could use them to apply image corrections without changing the device space. Abstract profiles are intended to change the look, not the colorspace of an image, but I assume that's not what you had in mind.)
A device link profile can transform directly from RGB 1 to RGB 2, while the transformation chain with device profiles looks like:
RGB 1 --[Profile 1]--> PCS --[Profile 2]--> RGB 2Even though the image will actually never be transformed to the PCS (Profile connection space), the CMS needs the PCS to "translate" between the device spaces.
In argyll you need device profiles for RGB 1 and RGB 2 in either case. You can use them directly to transform TIFF images using cctiff or you can link them to a device link profile beforehand using collink. Device link profiles offer advantages in terms of gamut mapping and precision.
A descriptive analogy might be translations between different languages: when you what translate e.g. from Spanish to Russian, you need either a Spanish-Russian dictionary (= device link profile) or two dictionary with a common "connection" language, e.g. Spanish-English and English-Russian.
It's evident that the Spanish-Russian dictionary will give you better (less ambiguous, more precise) translations, but less flexibility than separate dictionaries with a common connection language (=device profiles): Your Spanish-Russian dictionary is useless for translating Spanish to Italian, but the Spanish-English dictionary can still be combined with a English-Italian dictionary to translate Spanish to Italian.
See <http://argyllcms.com/doc/Scenarios.html#PS1> for creating input device (i.e. scanner or camera) profiles, <http://argyllcms.com/doc/Scenarios.html#LP1> for creating device links and <http://argyllcms.com/doc/Scenarios.html#TR1> for using cctiff.
A devicelink profile seems a rather crappy way of accomplishing this... but at this point, I'm happy with anything that just works... Are there any caveats in creating a device link profile?
As Gerhard mentioned, the profile will only work as intended if the camera generates the images in a _deterministic_ way.
Moreover, not every image processing software can handle device link profiles (e.g. Photoshop does not support device link profiles up to CS3 and device link support in CS4 is half-baked and very limited).
When everything works as expected, your image 1 looks the same as image 2 when you assign profile 1 to image 1 and profile 2 to image 2 (even though the RGB values of the images are different). When you transform image 1 from device space 1 to device space 2, it will still look the same (when you assing profile 2 to the result), but the RGB values of the transformed image 1 are now the same as the RGB values of image 2. Is this what you had in mind?

The Labor Department says the ground delivery unit of FedEx Corp. has agreed to pay $3 million to settle hiring discrimination charges in Texas and 14 other states.
The federal settlement covers wages and back interest to more than 21,000 job applicants who were rejected.
The case involves a seven-year investigation into hiring practices at FedEx Ground Package System Inc. and FedEx SmartPost Inc.
FedEx has agreed to offer jobs to about 1,700 of the affected workers as openings become available.
The Labor Department says the allegations involved discrimination on the basis of race, sex and national origin, as well as record-keeping violations.
A FedEx spokeswoman says the company admits no wrongdoing and settled to avoid costly litigation.

Manchester: The father of an Indian student who went missing on New Year's eve from a nightclub in Manchester appealed to the governments in the UK, India and people to come forward and help him find his son.
19-year-old Souvik Pal from Bangalore, a student of Manchester Metropolitan University, was asked to leave a nightclub - The Warehouse Project - where he was partying with his friends.
He was last seen on CCTV leaving the club at Old Trafford at about 11 pm on December 31. His friends reported his absence to the police who in turn contacted his father.
Souvik's father Satanu Pal, who flew in Manchester from Bangalore, has decided to stay in Manchester to assist the police with their investigations.
He told NDTV, "Hopefully my son is alive. And if he is alive there are two possibilities. One is that he is hiding or he is forced by someone else."
Mr Pal said that his wife and he were worried about their son and recalled the last conversation he had with him on New Year's eve. "As parents we ask him if he was having good food and taking care of his health. He was excited he was going a party."
The police are trying to reconstruct what exactly happened that night.
Detective Chief Inspector Colin Larkin said, "He was asked to leave the premises by a door supervisor. He indicated that he wanted to go to the ladies toilet and the door staff said he can't. He was asked to leave the premises."
It is not clear if this was a misunderstanding. After this incident, he was last seen outside the nightclub.
Souvik's father is hoping for help from the Indian High commission in the UK. He said, "I am looking for more (help) obviously. I am looking for more help from everybody. The kind of support they have given, I do not know whether they have some more capacity to support at this moment. But the greatest support I can get is from Greater Manchester Police - because they are the direct agency who can search my son. Government can only request them to expedite it. That is my understanding."
A massive hunt launched by the Manchester police in the canals and rivers has so far not yielded any clues.

After dominating most of the first half, Adelaide were finally rewarded in the 58th minute when Jeronimo Neumann scored the match winner to keep the Reds in the top two.
|By STEVE BARRETT
Adelaide United consolidated their top-two standing on the A-League ladder with a workmanlike 1-0 victory over Melbourne Heart at Hindmarsh Stadium on Saturday.
Star striker Jeronimo Neumann slotted a goal for the Reds in the 58th minute - his fifth this season - to deny first-year Heart coach John Aloisi in his home state.
It was a just result for Adelaide, which bossed the majority of the first half but were unable to capitalise early as the visitors held their nerve under pressure.
Some friendly fire three minutes in following a head collision between team-mates Michael Marrone and Simon Colosimo saw the Heart down to nine men momentarily as the pair went off for treatment.
Otherwise, the opening salvos were largely uneventful, despite play being predominantly on the Reds' terms.
Cassio pushed a good-looking shot over the crossbar in the 22nd minute to set the home side into motion.
From close range a minute later, Argentine duo Marcelo Carrusca and Neumann were denied by some desperate scrambling from veteran Melbourne stopper Clint Bolton.
With Dario Vidosic directing traffic with aplomb, Cassio playing superbly, Iain Fyfe dangerous and Portuguese Fabio Ferreira winning his right wing, United were looking sharp.
Meanwhile, the impressive Richard Garcia pushed high repeatedly and showed his class, while skipper Matt Thompson and Jason Hoffman were doing their best to hold Heart's midfield together.
Thompson gave Melbourne their best first-half chance, breaking to the left in the 35th minute, but his miscue was comfortably mopped up by Adelaide custodian Eugene Galekovic.
Three minutes later, the Reds missed a golden opportunity to break the deadlock.
After a Colosimo defensive error, Jeronimo, who had been relatively quiet, had a shot which Bolton just got his outstretched right hand to.
In the 45th minute, Jeronimo pulled the trigger again, driving a fierce ball just wide before Evan Kostopoulos, in time added on, unleashed a shot from the flank which whizzed past Bolton's right post.
The signs were better for the visitors early in the second half with Garcia twice cutting inside the box and getting behind Adelaide's defence, but despite his efforts the deadlock remained.
United weathered the brief Heart storm and resumed control with Jeronimo working his way into the contest.
The home side were finally rewarded for their all-round ascendancy when they took the lead in the 58th minute courtesy of an uncharacteristic defensive blunder from seasoned central defender Colosimo.
The former Socceroo coughed up an errant kick which was won by Vidosic. The ball then fell to the feet of hungry Jeronimo, whose shot from outside the box took a deflection off Patrick Gerhardt and left Bolton flat-footed.
Adelaide could smell blood and continued to hold sway.
Vidosic, Kostopoulos and Fyfe all went close, ensuring the Heart defenders earned their keep.
In contrast Melbourne did not have any answers in attack and will need to revert back to the drawing board following last Friday's 4-1 massacre of Brisbane Roar.

United Way of Hastings promotes pancakes, literacy and 'Heroes'
Enjoy some pancakes, listen to one of Hastings' firefighters read a book, and learn about the newest United Way of Hastings campaign initiative when the annual United Way literacy event is held from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 9, at the Green Mill Restaurant, 909 Vermillion St.
The newest campaign initiative is a locally-produced "Hastings Heroes" calendar. People in the Hastings community were selected to participate and be the monthly "Heroes." Some are well-known, some are not.
The idea for the calendar came from several discussions with individuals involved with the United Way of Hastings.
"We wanted to support the United Way of Hastings annual fundraising campaign by offering a fun way to collaborate with many individuals in the community as well as highlight people who make a difference in other's lives," said United Way Executive Director Tara Donohue Weiss. "Local photographers and everyday people who give back each day were asked to be fun and be creative. All photographers and heroes donated their time and creativity to the calendar.
"Once people understood the humor we wanted to invoke, all in good taste, everyone was on board to get involved," said Weiss.
The heroes range from high profile elected officials to community protectors to the "unsung" heroes that many people may not recognize.
"We thought having a little friendly competition such as choosing a favorite month would be a great way to involve more people," said Weiss. "Photographers quickly responded at the opportunity to showcase their talents. Those who participated are Mac McGoon, Dan Rother, Victoria's V Gallery, Hoffbeck Photography, Gunnar Cook and Denny Beck."
They have photographed people in humorous poses with props and have used Hastings landmarks when possible.
The calendars are being printed at Graphic Design in Hastings. They are $20 each and will have their premier showing Oct. 9 at the pancake breakfast. All proceeds will go into the United Way of Hastings' general fund. Residents can vote online for their favorite month and the winning month will be announced Dec. 17.
One of the books in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, a literacy program the United Way has supported for a number of years, was sent to the United Way office earlier this year. The board decided the book, "Firefighters to the Rescue," would be the one read at the Oct. 9 literacy events in observance of both Fire Prevention Week and Month. They asked Hastings firefighters to be part of the reading group.
The breakfast is $6, free for children younger than 3. The firefighters will bring a truck to the event, too.
The United Way of Hastings began its annual campaign at the Sept. 3 football game. The campaign runs through December. Funds raised during the year through workplace payroll deductions and individual donations are then allocated to various agencies in the Hastings area.
More information about the United Way of Hastings is available at www.unitedwayof hastings.org.

It's payback time, and current Tuaran MP Wilfred Bumburing must face up to Upko secretary-general Wilfred Madius Tangau's desire to contest his old seat.
KOTA KINABALU: Tuaran MP Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing, the man at the centre of a tug-of-war between the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition and the opposition, has again denied he plans to leave his party ahead of the 13th general election.
But he did hint that that several others will "jump ship" when the election is called.
Bumburing, who is United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (Upko) deputy president, said for now, speculation that nine MPs and assemblymen are ditching the ruling coalition was baseless.
The former Sabah deputy chief minister also said it was not true that he was on his way out because it was unlikely he would be given a chance to defend his seat.
"Many people think I am leaving BN but this is not true. I will make a formal announcement should I finally decide to say good-bye to BN," he said.
Bumburing said this political speculation could had been the result of him having joined the Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah-led NGO Angkatan Amanah Merdeka (Amanah).
He had also been seen with opposition leaders during the many Pesta Kaamatan (Harvest Festival) celebrations organised and hosted by opposition parties in May.
Bumburing, a former assemblyman for Tamparuli, has also been vocal in calling on the government to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) on the massive number of illegal immigrants in Sabah being issued with MyKads.
In the 2008 election, Bumburing was fielded instead of then incumbent Wilfred Madius Tangau, the Upko secretary-general.
Tangau was miffed that he had been overlooked in the distribution of seats to BN component party candidates.
Tangau, a 'hurt' man
Bumburing polled 17,645 votes to retain the seat for BN with a 6,622 majority against his nearest rival Ansari Abdullah of PKR, who garnered 11,023 votes. Independent candidate, Ajin Hazin Gagah, lost his deposit when he only managed 879 votes.
Upko president Bernard Dompok, when asked recently of his deputy's imminent departure from the party, said that the question should be directed to Bumburing.
"Those questioning Bumburing's position in the party should get the answer from him. You should ask him personally because you would not believe what I say," Dompok said.
Meanwhile, although Tangau has not been openly lobbying to be fielded in Tuaran, he has been on a tour of his former parliamentary constituency over the last few months.
When he was sidelined and not fielded to defend Tuaran in the last election, he told FMT that it hurt "just like one's fiancée being taken or eventually wedded by the best man".
Tangau, it is learnt, wants to contest the seat this time around to honour a pact he made with Bumburing in the 2008 election.
The deal was that Bumburing would stand for one term as MP and Tangau would be given the seat in the 13th general election.
Whether Bumburing or Tangau is fielded by BN, the opposition PKR will likely be fielding Ansari again or another former Tuaran MP Kalakau Unto

2013 Spring Preview: New Life Academy softball team Eagles look to make history this spring
A year ago, the New Life Academy softball team celebrated a seventh straight trip to the state tournament, beating Minneapolis Washburn 5-3 for the Section 4A championship. This year, New Life is looking to make it eight in a row, which would tie Winona Cotter for the most consecutive state tournament appearances in state history.
Making history is nothing new to the New Life Academy softball program. The Eagles already rewrote the record books, winning four consecutive state championship titles between 2008 and 2011. Last year, in its quest for a fifth-straight state championship, the team finished in fourth place in the state.
"Each year, the bar gets raised higher for the NLA softball program, but over the years, we've built a really strong program and have systems in place to build the program up to a level where we can advance to state and hopefully, win another state tournament," said Mick Ramey, who is in his sixth year as the team's head coach.
Ramey contributes part of the program's success to their team chemistry, consistent hitting and timely hits in key situations.
"We've had so may close games, and that consistency and timely hitting won us those games," he said. "I've been successful because I'm surrounded by great people, parents and captains, and that makes delegating the work load a whole lot easier."
Last year was supposed to be a rebuilding year for New Life Academy. But, despite fielding a roster with no seniors and starting nine players at new positions, the Eagles brought home hardware from the state tournament for a sixth straight year.
In last year's state tournament, after beating Section 6A champion Sebeka 2-1 in the opening round, New Life Academy (17-9) was edged 2-0 by No. 1-ranked Cherry in the state semifinals. Cherry, which NLA beat in the state championship game in 2011, finished the year undefeated and as 2012 Class A state champions. After the emotional loss to Cherry, New Life suffered a letdown in the third-place game, falling to New Ulm Cathedral 9-2.
This year, New Life will be led by sophomore pitcher, Val Hohol, who went 13-6 last season and held a batting average of .475 to go along with a team-high 19 RBI. Other key players for the Eagles include Amanda Heidmann, Chloe Westlund and Malorie Giere. Heidmann led the team in batting in 2012, hitting .481 and total bases with 37, to go along with 17 RBI. Westlund hit .455 with a team-best 13 steals and a team-high 29 runs scored and Giere hit .434 with 30 total bases and a team-best nine doubles.
According to Ramey, their biggest challenge is their youth.
"This year, we only have one senior on the team, Nicole Johnson," said Ramey. "Although our team is young, some of our captains have been on varsity since seventh and eighth grade, so they do bring leadership along with their youth."
Ramey believes to maximize every girl's performance, you have to make them all feel good about themselves and their role on the team.
"If you accomplish that, everything else falls into place," he said.

Volunteers fix up old gym with no tax dollars; county now wants it back
An old basketball gym brings a community together. A county government decision threatens to tear it apart.
"What was your fear?" FOX 5 I-Team reporter Randy Travis asked beloved basketball coach Carlos Adams.
"Losing it and not really having a place to go. Giving it back up to somebody or some people that didn't want to have anything to do with it."
Adams manages the old Buffington Elementary gymnasium in Cherokee County. First graders on up get first-hand coaching from a former pro who played overseas. A man they like to call the gentle giant.
"He's a pillar to this community," said parent and former Buffington student Jason McKinney. "And I couldn't say nothing but good things about him."
In 2010, the community rallied around Adams and this old gym. It was falling apart, Cherokee County leaders deciding to close it down rather than spend more than $200,000 in repairs.
Dylan Bergman was one of Adams players. He had an idea.
"Did you ever ask them for any tax money?" Randy said to Dylan.
"No. All our own money."
"And your own sweat," Randy pointed out.
"Own sweat."
For his senior high school project, Dylan convinced Cherokee County to let the community fix up the Buffington gym.
It took six months of often nasty work, with rats and spiders hiding in dark and scary places. Coach Adams was there every step of the way.
"One time it was scary underneath the gym cause we didn't know what was under there," remembered Adams.
"You scared? A big guy like you?"
"Oh yes. Yes. Yes."
Scared or not... they did it. And the gym reopened to a proud community.
Cherokee County agreed to let Adams lease the refurbished gym for one dollar a year as long as he paid the utilities.
Four years later, the program has thrived, with 275 kids showing up now, paying mainly for basketball, drawn to the personal touch of their coach.
"The first thing he says, I love you kids. And you're my kids when you step out on this court," said McKinney, one of Adams' biggest supporters.
But last month, Adams' parents and players were the ones comforting him.
Someone else approached the county asking to operate Buffington. The contract was suddenly up for bid. And no one from Cherokee County bothered to give Adams a heads-up until it was almost too late.
"He said you're not going to believe what happened. I couldn't," remembered McKinney. "It really caught me off... we weren't expecting nothing like that."
"I instill in them don't quit. Don't give up," Adams said. "And I found myself in that same situation. Should I give up and walk away from it? No."
It all just seemed so... curious. So FOX 5 I-Team reporter Randy Travis emailed Cherokee County manager Jerry Cooper to ask why. The very next day Carlos got a call from the county.
His bid, the one he nearly didn't have a chance to submit, had won after all. The Cherokee County commission will vote on the new deal next month.
The FOX 5 I-Team was there when Adams delivered the good news to his players.
"Let's say now that I can breathe a sigh of relief and you all can too as well, because it looks like we're going to be staying here for a while."
Applause echoed through the rafters of an old... but not forgotten... community gym.

When physician determines medication is in order, she or he will probably prescribe it for all members with the household. Elephantiasis, referred to as Podoconiosis, can also occur without parasitic infestations. Western medicine prescribes chemical pesticide treatments to deal with lice, intestinal parasites and scabies. Infection is frequent among children under 12 years of age.
These pets are innocent, because pinworms could only live within the guts of primates, not within the digestive tracts of cats and dogs. Booster vaccinations is going to be carried out such cases without delay inside the injections this also helps to improve the immunity level with the dog against such diseases in a remarkable degree. Other tests that may be helpful include chest x-rays, blood tests, abdominal x-rays or ultrasound, CT in the abdomen, liver function tests, or a thoracic ultrasound and CT scan.
Closantel Sodium can be a compound that assists in controlling a number of endoparasites and ectoparasites with the normal therapeutic dose. Men are affected with Hydocaele, the fluid-filled enlargement with the sacs across the testes and scrotum, however, as previously stated, Elephantiasis can also affect the legs, arms, vulva, and breasts. Herbal intestinal parasite treatments including wormwood, garlic or goldenseal might be used instead of harmful chemicals. The biggest symptom of an LF infection is swelling.
Pain relievers will likely be prescribed to alleviate muscle pain caused with the presence of the larvae. However, Albendazole could be used in some patients who may show the following infections, such as: Tapeworms taeniasis, Trichostrongyliasis, Capillariasis, Cutaneous larva migrans, Whipworms trichuriasis, Common roundworms ascariasis, Hookworms ancylostomiasis and necatoriasis, Pinworms enterobiasis or oxyuriasis, Strongyloidiasis etc. Do you ever wonder in case you have parasites living within your body.
Whipworm is one of the most common human parasites. Dogs are just like babies in the sense that they usually stick everything in their mouths. Be advised though that freezing bear meat won't insure the death of the trichinella larvae.

Nancy Loome, executive director of the education advocacy group The Parents Campaign, says she has set the record straight about a claim by the Center for Public Policy that dozens of Mississippi high schools have become "dropout factories."
Many of the schools named in the report were erroneously identified as having excessive dropout rates, Loom said in an email to Parents Campaign members and supporters.
"Some of the rates listed were off by almost 20 percentage points," Loome wrote.
"I spoke with the director of the center, and he acknowledged that the information was incorrect. It has been removed from the center's website."
Loome said the author of the report used a "very crude methodology" that simply took ninth grade enrollment in the high school in one year and divided it by the number of graduates four years later.
"This methodology fails to account for students who transfer to another school, special education students who complete their coursework but don't get a regular diploma, students who are retained and graduate in five years, or high growth districts that have added a high school and moved students from one school to another," she said.
"This sort of sloppy methodology skews the results in both directions, falsely accusing some good schools of having a dropout problem and failing to identify some that really do."

It's simply amazing how many doggie treat recipes you can find in cyberspace. Not only dog treat recipes but real dog food recipes too. Seems there are many dog owners out there that don't trust the national brand dog food. We will be experimenting with some of the doggie treat recipes from time to time and will post the outcome on this blog. We'll use the "Paw Rating System" to rate the recipes, one to four paws, with four paws being the best. Here's the first recipe we'll be trying.
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup quick cook oatmeal
- 2 tablspn Flax Seed
- 1 & 1/4 cups of warm water
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- Pre-heat oven to 350
- In a large bowl, mix the oatmeal, flour and flax seed
- Add the peanut butter and stir in the water
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Little by little, add in more flour until the mixture is no longer sticky. Roll out the dough until it's about 1/4″ thick. If you have them, you can use the bone shaped cookie cutters or cut the treats into pig ear shaped tri-angles or even squares. It's your choice. Your dog doesn't care. Bake for twenty minutes @ 350, turn the oven off and leave the treats in the oven to cool. This makes the treats extra crunchy.
OK. I made the first batch of homemade doggie treats on Tuesday evening, October 12th, 2009. The recipe is really quite simply and went together quickly. From start to finish, the whole process took less than one hour and only dirtied one large bowl and one spoon. I was able to get 40+ treats from the recipe and I cut them for large dogs. We do not own any cookie cutters so I resorted to cutting the treats in a triangle shape (pig ear). You could probably get close to twice that many if you cut them in a size for small dogs. Anyway, the taste test went very well.
When I bit into one, I found it to be rather bland. It was crunchy and had an up-front peanut butter taste and smell. Max the Beagle liked the treats but they really didn't trip his trigger the way they did Angel the Dobe. She went absolutely bonkers over the peanut butter treats. I think I may be able to teach the old girl some new tricks using the peanut butter treats as a reward. She likes them that much. So now I'm going to make sure my neighbors, friends and family get to try these treats on their pooches. By the way, I have named the treats "ANGEL CRACKERS" (Peanut Butter Doggie Treats).

President Obama's Economy Sets New Deficit Record
President Obama has set another spending record. For the fifth straight fiscal year, the annual federal deficit will top $1 trillion.
Obama is spending at a break neck pace. The deficit reached $1 trillion one day before the end of the fiscal year's third quarter that ended June 30.
At the current rate of spending, the deficit for the current fiscal year that ends September 30 will hit $1.3 trillion, higher than the deficit last year.
Before fiscal year 2008, the annual federal deficit had never exceeded $1 trillion. In fiscal year 2007, the deficit reached $500 billion. Then the real spending binge began.
The whole tab for runaway spending is staggering. At the close of fiscal year 2008, the total federal debt stood at $9 billion. Today it stands at nearly $16 trillion, a whopping $7 trillion increase.
A look at the U.S. debt clock (www.USDebtClock.org) tells another story. The Gross Domestic Product of the United States, the annual output of the entire U.S. economy, is about $15 trillion. The cumulative national debt is fast approaching $16 trillion. Only serious deficit reduction on an annual basis will chip away at the total debt. Yet the spending continues with no end in sight.
Down the road, the story gets worse. The entire bill for unfunded liabilities for federal entitlement programs, including Medicare, Social Security and Prescription Drugs, has reached $119.8 trillion. When will it end?
