Isn't it amazing all we know about risk factors now that we have had the disease. I only remember one thing being a risk for cancer and that was the birth control pill. How many of us have taken that? How many other things have we taken or done to put ourselves at risk? LOTS the doctor is right being a woman is the greatest risk of them all.
Jul 11, 2002 - 5:46 pm
Amen, Tara!!!!!!! Vicki :)
Jul 14, 2002 - 1:19 pm
I agree! I would have had a lot of lifestyle changes had I known of the risks beforehand!! I took the pill for 14 years, and never had any kids, so that's a double-whammy! I used to be able to stow away quite a lot of beer years ago....wouldn't have done it! I don't think I would have had a baby just to prevent it, but I wouldn't have taken the pill that long. And, I would have paid more attention to my weight for years instead of just losing it now. Wow....I think maybe there whould be more emphasis on breast cancer in health classes in school....I know it would have changed me a lot to know ahead of time! Have a good day...Cyndi

Last week I posted about the history of the Drachma and Greece.
Thought it would be interesting to share the history of the Roman empire and its currency. The following is based on a speech by Joseph R. Peden given in 2009.
Scholars have devoted a great deal of energy to examining the problem of how the Roman Empire lasted so long? And did it decline, or was it simply transformed into something else?
Monetary policy always serves, even if it serves badly, the perceived needs of the rulers of the state. If it also happens to enhance the prosperity and progress of the masses of the people, that is a secondary benefit; but its first aim is to serve the needs of the rulers, not the ruled.
To look at the mentality of the Roman emperors, we can look just at the advice that the Emperor Septimius Severus gave to his two sons, Caracalla and Geta. This is supposed to be his final words to his heirs. He said, "live in harmony; enrich the troops; ignore everyone else."
Carcalla He took that so seriously to heart that his mother remonstrated with him and urged him to be more moderate and to restrain his increasing military expenditures and burdensome new taxes. He responded by saying there was no longer any revenue, just or unjust, to be found. But not to worry, "for as long as we have this," he insisted, pointing to his sword, "we shall not run short of money."
His sense of priorities was made more explicit when he remarked, "nobody should have any money but I, so that I may bestow it upon the soldiers." And he was as good as his word. He raised the pay of the soldiers by 50 percent, and to achieve this he doubled the inheritance taxes paid by Roman citizens.
He then went further by proceeding to debase the coinage. The basic coinage of the Roman Empire to this time -- we're speaking now about 211 AD -- was the silver denarius introduced by Augustus at about 95 percent silver at the end of the 1st century BC. The denarius continued for the better part of two centuries as the basic medium of exchange in the empire.
But the real crisis came after Caracalla, between 258 and 275, in a period of intense civil war and foreign invasions. The emperors simply abandoned, for all practical purposes, a silver coinage. By 268 there was only 0.5 percent silver in the denarius.
The next emperor who interfered with the coinage in a meaningful way was Constantine, the first Christian emperor of Rome. In the year 312, which is also the year he issued the Edict of Toleration for Christianity, Constantine issued a new gold piece, which he called by a new name, the solidus -- solid gold. This was struck at 72 to the pound, so it was in fact debased more than Diocletian's.
Now, one of the things that had happened in the course of this 3rd-century inflation was that the government found that when it paid its troops in token coinage, or even in debased silver coins, prices immediately rose. Every time the silver value of the denarius dropped, prices naturally rose.
The result was that the government, in order to try to protect its civil servants and its soldiers from the effects of inflation, began to demand payment of taxes in kind and in services rather than in coin. They wound up, in effect, repudiating their own issued coins, not accepting them for tax collection purposes.
What were the causes of this inflation? First of all, war. The soldiers' pay rose from 225 denarii during the time of Augustus to 300 denarii in the time of Domitian, about a hundred years later. A century after Domitian, in the time of Septimius, it had gone from 300 to 500 denarii; and in the time of Caracalla, about 10 years later, it had gone to 750 denarii. In other words, the cost of the army was also rising in terms of the coinage; so, as the coinage became more worthless, the cost of the army had to be increased.
The advance in the soldiers' pay in the rest of the 3rd century and into the 4th century is not known; we don't have figures. One reason is that the soldiers were increasingly paid in terms of requisitions of supplies and goods in kind. They were literally given food, clothing, shelter, and other commodities in lieu of pay. This applied also to the civil service.
Except in emergencies, which were usually related to war, the Roman government generally followed a policy of free trade and minimal restriction on the economic activities of its population. But now under the pressure of this need to pay the troops and under the pressure of inflation, the liberty of the people began to be seriously eroded -- and very rapidly.
So the government solved that problem by simply passing a law that any taxes that decurions[tax collectors] could not collect from others, they would have to pay out of their own pockets. That's known as the incentive method for the tax collector.
As you can well imagine, as the crises became greater and the economy was disrupted by civil conflicts and invasions and the effects of inflation, the decurions, strangely enough, no longer wanted to be decurions.
What we have here is a kind of nationalization of private enterprises, and this nationalization means that the people who use their money and their talent are now compelled to serve the state whether they like it or not.
When people tried to get out of this they were then, by law, compelled to remain in the occupation that they were in. In other words, you couldn't change your job or your business.
This was not sufficient because, after all, death is a relief from taxes. So the occupations were now made hereditary. When you died, your son had to take up your profession. If your father was a shoemaker, you had to be a shoemaker.
For years, the well-disciplined Roman army held the barbarians of Germany back. Then in the third century A. D. the Roman soldiers were pulled back from the Rhine-Danube frontier to fight civil war in Italy. This left the Roman border open to attack. Gradually Germanic hunters and herders from the north began to overtake Roman lands in Greece and Gaul (later France). Then in 476 A. D. the Germanic general Odacer or Odovacar overthrew the last of the Roman Emperors, Augustulus Romulus. From then on the western part of the Empire was ruled by Germanic chieftain. Roads and bridges were left in disrepair and fields left untilled. Pirates and bandits made travel unsafe. Cities could not be maintained without goods from the farms, trade and business began to disappear.
Now, perhaps we should try and find some lessons in this tale of the monetary policies of the late Roman Empire. The first lesson, I think, must be that if war is the health of the state, as Randolph Bourne said, it is poison to a stable and sound money. The Roman monetary crisis therefore was closely connected with the Roman military problem.
Another lesson is that problems become solvable when a ruler decides that something can be done and must be done.
In the light of the above lesson in history, its worth nothing that perhaps if European leaders can solve their identity crisis and come to a conclusion on their debt issues, their problems can become solvable as well. But then again, the following statements will tell you that they still have a long way to go:
"Spain is not Greece" - Elena Salgado, Spanish Finance Minister, February 2010
"Portugal is not Greece" - The Economist, April 2010
"Greece is not Ireland" - George Papaconstantinou, Greek Finance Minister, November 2010
"Spain is neither Ireland nor Portugal" - Elena Salgado, Spanish Finance Minister, Nov. 2010
"Ireland is not in 'Greek Territory'" - Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan, November 2010
"Neither Spain nor Portugal is Ireland" - Angel Gurria, Secretary-General OECD, Nov. 2010
"Italy is not Spain" - Ed Parker, Fitch MD, June 12, 2012
"Spain is not Uganda" - Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy, June 2012
"Uganda does not want to be Spain" - Ugandan foreign minister, June 13, 2012

My Nonprofit Reviews
Rose Jones
Review for Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Charitable Service Trust, Cold Spring, KY, USA
Although I believe in the worthiness of helping disabled American veterans, I was dismayed to find that a $100 donation to the DAV has resulted in years of junk mailings. All the calendars, return address labels, memo pads, Christmas cards, postage paid envelopes and the rest ,end up in my tras , as I don't need or want any of them. I think it's a very wasteful use of limited resources and I believe that my entire donation has been spent sending me trash. I think it's poor policy to reward donors with non stop pleas for more money. I never repeat donations to any organization which employees this method of fund raising.
More Feedback
Was your donation impactful?
How likely is it that you would recommend that a friend donate to this group?
How likely are you to donate to this group again?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
To express our grateful appreciation for your interest in and past support of DAV service programs for America's wounded veterans and their families, may I extend sincere thanks. In response to your comments, please note that the DAV Fundraising Department's Professional Fundraisers have tried and tested all of their solicitation mailings with the general public first, and as far as receiving contributions from these type mailings, DAV receives more donations by including the return postage stamps, calendars, memo pads, calendars, etc. If you would like us to remove your name from DAV's regular mailing list, just drop us a note and we will be happy to do so. Or, if you prefer, you may want to remain on the DAV's records and be solicited to receive a mailing only once a year. Just let us know your decision. Please note that the DAV's Charitable Service Trust does not participate in direct mail fundraising. Donors do not receive solicitations from this entity. Thank you again for your comments. V/R

"Saving Fish from Drowning"
by Amy Tan
G.P.Putnam's Sons, 474 pp., $26.95
From the beginning of her writing career, Amy Tan has investigated the perplexities of mother-daughter relationships and the complexities of cultural interfaces. She doesn't abandon these strands entirely in her latest novel, but weaves them into a wider net.
In "Saving Fish from Drowning," Tan's cast features a dozen hapless American tourists in Southeast Asia. The story of their ill-starred trip is narrated by the ghost of the woman who had organized the tour and was supposed to lead it. But Bibi Chen, a Bay Area philanthropist and Asian art expert, dies just days before the departure date. The tour-group members, many of whom were Bibi's friends, elect to honor her memory by going ahead with the trip.
In death, Bibi has acquired the ability to enter the minds of all the travelers. We get to know the innermost thoughts of the timid fellow who has been appointed as her replacement, the dog trainer with a hit TV show, the neophyte political activist, the art curator and her pre-teen daughter, the bamboo grower and his teenage son.

The author of "Saving Fish from Drowning" will read at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Microsoft Auditorium of the Seattle Central Library. Sponsored by the Washington Center for the Book and the Elliott Bay Book Co.
Free admission on first-come, first-served basis (206-624-6600 or www.elliottbaybook.com).
In pre-publication interviews for the book, Tan says she modeled her adventure on the classic "Canterbury Tales." You'll catch an unmistakable whiff of "Gilligan's Island," too — behind their expensive sunglasses and designer clothes, these folks are goofballs.
Each of the characters perceives things through a unique lens of experience. Their feelings and reactions are further interpreted by their spectral but certainly not circumspect narrator. Thus any one event can take on sharply different meanings.
While Bibi can insinuate herself even into dreams, she is unable to sway the group's mid-trip decision to meddle with her carefully designed itinerary. The travelers end up entering Myanmar, also known as Burma, at an unsanctioned checkpoint. Most of them are political naïfs, only vaguely aware that this country is run by a repressive military junta which goes by the acronym SLORC.
The impetuous change of plans puts the tourists in harm's way. Shortly after they ensconce themselves at a remote lakeside resort in the jungle, they are kidnapped by desperate Karen tribesmen. The Karen, long brutalized by SLORC, have clung to a tribal myth about a white savior who will restore their power. When they see the American teenager do card tricks — making things disappear into thin air — they believe he may be their long-awaited salvation.
But the notion of salvation is a tricky one. Can one be redeemed by doing charitable deeds, by finding love, by abnegating self? Even the title plays with this — it derives from a myth about a fisherman's semantical solution to enriching himself while purporting to engage in selfless activity. He pulls fish from the water to save them from drowning. When they die anyway, he may as well sell them!
Tan doesn't shirk from opining on the abysmal situation in Myanmar today. (The military renamed the country in 1990, after losing the election but taking over the government anyway.) But she does this mostly by presenting her characters' narrow perspectives on the subject — and then funneling them through Bibi, who may be omniscient but also is terribly quirky.
The result is an unorthodox overview — a study in absurdity. That doesn't make it any less grounded in cruel reality, but how will readers take it?
Tan is betting that by juggling magical realism, romantic comedy, mystery and political farce, her book will seduce readers into turning the pages and consciousness ultimately will be raised.
The gamble doesn't quite pay off. Tan has great intentions and loads of literary chutzpah, but the book's busyness and breadth tend to obscure its depth. Readers may drown in distractions.

CarPlay is Apple's Latest Attempt to Take Over Your Life
Now you never ever have to stop using your iPhone — that is if you're planning on buying a very expensive car in the next year or so.
Apple announced a new iPhone-to-automobile integration system called CarPlay on Monday, ahead of the Geneva auto show.
CarPlay syncs your iPhone with your car, letting you take phone calls, dictate text messages and emails and play music while driving. The new technology uses Siri to control native iPhone apps and a few third-party apps, including Spotify and iHeartRadio.
CarPlay won't work with the one app drivers probably need the most: Google Maps. Instead, CarPlay gives drivers access to turn-by-turn directions in the much-maligned and far less reliable Apple Maps.
CarPlay will be available in Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo cars starting this week. Thirteen other auto makers, including Ford, General Motors, Hyundai and Toyota, will integrate CarPlay, though Apple did not specify when. The system will only be available starting with new, 2014 models and will only work with the iPhone 5, 5C and 5S.
Apple first hinted at its plans to weasel iOS into people's cars at its developers conference in June. Last year, Apple made a similar partnership to integrate iOS into select Beetles with a built-in iPhone docking station.
Both Apple and Google want a bigger place in people's cars, starting with the software that runs vehicles' entertainment and navigation systems. Last month, Google announced plans to bring Android to four auto makers' vehicles.
Google has its own highly touted plan to develop self-driving cars.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Moses to the unfolding of God's plan of salvation. Arguably, Moses is the most significant Old Testament figure because of his unique role as mediator of the old covenant. In this sense, Moses is the only parallel to Jesus Christ who is the mediator of a new and better covenant.This book focuses on the redemptive-historical aspects of Moses' life and ministry as manifested in the books of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy

Health inquiry chief defends report
The head of the inquiry into the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust has insisted that his investigation did not exonerate individuals of blame for the "appalling" suffering of patients caught up in the scandal.
Robert Francis QC said the terms of his inquiry were to examine actions - or inactions - of organisations against a "background of the most appalling" care provided to large numbers of patients at Stafford Hospital.
He said effectively putting people on trial by making one of the inquiry terms of reference that of identifying individuals responsible would have resulted in a number of "unfortunate" results.
"You cannot try people without it being fair," he told MPs on the House of Commons Health Select Committee.
"I personally think that would have had a number of unfortunate results... the first would have been the duration and extent of the inquiry. Every single person involved would have instructed a lawyer, every single person would have to have been a core participant.
"I know some people have criticised the length of my inquiry but I would have been running this inquiry for years - the lessons would not have been learned but perhaps the most important point is that I don't think we would have found out as much as we did."
He added: "I do not believe that this report exonerates people at all, I do urge those who have not done so to read the accounts given of the history in the various chapters about the organisations, where I set out in detail what individuals have done and what they have not done, what letters they got and their reaction to these letters. Others may disagree but I personally believe that is the useful contribution a public inquiry can make in this situation."
Mr Francis's remarks come after relatives of patients called for NHS chief Sir David Nicholson and Royal College of Nursing chief executive Peter Carter to resign over the scandal.
Mr Francis said his job had been to find out from as many people as possible what had happened and to build up a picture of events at Stafford Hospital and then to draw lessons for the future.
"Clearly one of these lessons is that there is insufficient accountability in this system and it is for that reason that I make a number of recommendations in that regard," he said.

Transport dept, cops liable for negligence in Delhi gangrape
The brutal gangrape of the 23-year-old girl has so disturbed me (like it has everybody else) that every night sleep eludes me and my thoughts revolve around what the girl must have gone through and what kind of punishment will really meet the ends of justice in a case as horrendous as this. Pushpa Girimaji writes.india Updated: Dec 23, 2012 00:08 IST
The brutal gangrape of the 23-year-old girl has so disturbed me (like it has everybody else) that every night sleep eludes me and my thoughts revolve around what the girl must have gone through and what kind of punishment will really meet the ends of justice in a case as horrendous as this.
While the criminal justice system should hand over the most deterrent of punishment to the six perpetrators in the quickest of time, the family of the girl (and also her friend who was beaten up brutally) should also use the consumer justice system to hold the transport operator accountable and vicariously liable for what happened during that bus journey on the night of December 16.
The transport department of the Delhi government and the Delhi Police must also be made liable for their negligence.
The six arrested men may be the perpetrators of the crime, but the bus owner too is guilty of gross negligence in the way he ran his bus service, leading eventually to the horrific gang rape. If only he had done due diligence in hiring a driver for his bus (particularly when it was ferrying school children), he would not have chosen Ram Singh, who already had a criminal record, and the girl would have been saved from this ordeal.
Similarly, the transporter, through his employees, failed to follow the conditions governing the permit for contract carriage buses. If only he had ensured strict vigilance over his bus and the employees, they would not have embarked on an unscheduled, unchartered journey and picked up unauthorised passengers in violation of the permit conditions. Similarly, the use of tinted glasses for windows also emboldened the criminals and contributed to the crime.
Therefore, he has to be held accountable and made to pay a huge compensation to the victims for his lapses. So huge that it should send out a clear signal to all other transporters that such carelessness in respect of the transport services that they run will not be condoned.
This will further force transport operators to install CCTV cameras, Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and take all necessary measures to prevent any kind of criminal activities in buses.
Since the transport authorities as well as the police failed to ensure that the bus owner conformed to the licensing/ permit conditions and also the rules governing commercial vehicles under the Motor Vehicles Act, they also have to be held accountable and named along with the transporter as the opposite parties in the complaint.
Since the victim and her friend paid for that journey, they also come under the definition of 'consumers' of the transport service and acquire the right to sue the transport company for the physical and mental torture inflicted during the journey.
Any complaint, where the compensation sought is over R1 crore, is to be filed before the highest consumer court. Given the nature of this case, I am sure the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission will take it up immediately and deal with it with utmost sensitivity.
S.N.Gupta: Recently, during a train travel, I was manhandled and insulted by a group of students because I protested over their entry into reserved coaches. My complaint to the TTE too brought no results. Can I go to the consumer court on this issue?
Answer: You certainly can. In Union of India Vs Manoj H.Pathak, ( RP NO 609 of 1995, order dated 26-4-1996) where Pathak was attacked by ticketless travellers for resisting their entry into the reserved train compartment, the national commission held the railways liable for their failure to prevent the entry of unauthorised persons and ordered payment of compensation to him.

Gov. Pat Quinn on Thursday signed into law new legislation that requires inmates to serve at least 60 days before they become eligible for early-release.
His signing of the Public Safety Initiative Law comes after weeks of criticism of his administration's handling of a secret police change that freed some violent inmates early.
"I thank and congratulate the General Assembly for backing my recommendations and taking swift action to enact this important public safety initiative," the governor said Thursday. "This law will protect the public while preserving the integrity of the criminal justice system and the court's sentencing of offenders."
The law also requires IDOC to provide at least 14 days advance notice to the appropriate local prosecutors prior to releasing an inmate receiving meritorious good conduct credit.
Quinn suspended the original program last month after an Associated Press report indicated that some of those released were violent criminals who had served as few as 11 days. Some of them committed new crimes while they were out.
Dan Hynes, the democratic challenger in the upcoming primary election has continually hammered Quinn over the program.

Athens-Clarke police detectives began Wednesday sorting through a new list of potential suspects in last week's murder of an Atlanta Highway convenience store clerk after a sketch of one of the killers began to flush out tips about the crime.
"We've gotten several calls that said the sketch resembled a particular person," said Capt. Clarence Holeman, commanding officer of the Athens-Clarke police Centralized Criminal Investigations division.
"At this point, we're still in the fact-finding and fact-gathering stage, trying to filter all the names coming in and looking at their past histories," he said.
"Another thing we have to check is their physical stature," Holeman said. "It's more than just names. You just don't run out to someone and say, 'Hey, this looks like you.' "
KeJuan Chante Hall, 25, was stabbed to death while working the evening shift at Golden Pantry at the corner of Atlanta Highway and Timothy Road. Police believe that Hall was killed by a man and woman shortly before 11 p.m.
An eyewitness came face-to-face with the man when he tried to enter the store and the man turned him away, saying the 24-hour business was closed. That customer helped a Georgia Bureau of Investigation forensic artist make the sketch, which police made public Tuesday afternoon.
The witness described the suspect as a black man in his late 20s to mid-30s, with a "baby face," a slight goatee, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and about 180 pounds.
The witness also saw a woman in the store, but didn't get enough of a look at her to help the artist make a drawing, police said. She is heavyset, 5 feet to 5 feet 2 inches tall and about the same age as the man, according to police.
Police also are working with a second witness, a man who came into the store to use the bathroom and saw a man and woman pretending to be employees cleaning the store.
Nothing was stolen from the store, and investigators believe the killers had personal reasons for wanting Hall dead. They took the store's surveillance tape with them.
While looking for Hall's killers, police also are investigating the murder of Kenneth Omari Wray, a 30-year-old Athens-Clarke Transportation and Public Works Department employee who was gunned down about 8:30 p.m. Dec. 28 outside his house on Knottingham Drive.
Witnesses heard arguing, followed by as many as five gunshots, then a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt running away, police said.
As with Hall, police believe Wray knew his killer, but detectives have found nothing to link the victims.
Golden Pantry on Tuesday increased the total reward for information to $6,000, including $1,000 from police, and Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information concerning Wray's murder.
Detective Jeff Clark is the lead investigator in Wray's death, and Detective Chuck Ivey is the lead investigator in Hall's.
Both can be reached at (706) 613-3337.
Calls also can be made using Crime Stoppers' confidential tip line at (706) 613-3342.

I thought it was time to update my picture to reflect reality - Doug's picture of us just after he won the championship is still the one he uses to post (on the H&N board). There's a good bit of weight change - he lost 35 lbs and I gained about 5. He is winning the race - he was trying to get from 140 to 155 before I could get down from 165 to 155. He has 4 or so more to gain and I have 7 to lose.
I uploaded it and was going to say something, but it took a while to show up. The photo was from Doug's black tie event for work about a week ago - my daughters made me buy a new dress and my youngest did my make-up. Doug's tux is one we bought at a tag sale 30 years back - it was vintage then (20's?) and Doug just fit into it. Now it's loose.
I'll let you know who wins, but this is one contest I won't mind losing. We will still celebrate at whatever weight we both weigh when we cross over; after that, we'll be celebrating the gap as he gains and I (we hope) lose. Every day, another little victory. . .

It takes 2 years. But usually they don't delete them at exactly the 2yr mark it's usually the 25th month. So if you applied July 15, 2014 you can expect for it to be removed by the end of August 2016. Although sometimes you may have to call the credit bureaus to ask them to remove them. But if you want them gone before then you can ask the company whom placed the inquiry for a deletion letter. Some companies are good about doing so. There are also templates online of a letter you can send to the company certified to have it deleted. Sometimes it is easy other times the companies can be hard to work with.

Registered nurses in seven different Community Health System hospitals will take to the streets for a national day of action with strikes, pickets and other events Dec. 3.
Four different states will participate Tuesday including the Mountain State.
The nurses will protest repeated violations of federal law by the CHS-affiliated hospitals and the failure for executives to address widespread concerns about patient safety and cuts in patient services as well as the nurses' efforts to win economic workplace fairness.
The National Nurses Organizing Committee-West Virginia represents the registered nurses.
Nurses have also raised concerns about reductions of patient services including layoffs and unsafe maintenance problems that led to a sewage leak at the Bluefield Regional Medical center in Bluefield.
"Since the union election, RNs have made some improvements in staffing. However, there is a lot of work to be done, and CHS refuses to respect nurses and bargain with us," said Beverly Hubbard, an RN who works in the Cath Lab at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center. "We will be letting the community know about the patient care conditions at the hospital on Dec. 3. Please join us in our fight to improve patient care at GVMC."
Over the past five years, CHS reported over $1.5 billion in profits to the Securities and Exchange Commission. CHS Wayne Smith piled up $21.5 million in total compensation in 2011, according to the AFL-CIO Executive Pay Watch project.
The planned events include picketing from 4-6 p.m. at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Ronceverte and hosting a news conference at 4 p.m. at Bluefield Regional Medical Center.

This paper considers the kinematics of hyper-redundant (or "serpentine") robot locomotion over uneven solid terrain, and presents algorithms to implement a variety of "gaits". The analysis and algorithms are based on a continuous backbone curve model which captures the robot's macroscopic geometry. Two classes of gaits, based on stationary waves and traveling waves of mechanism deformation, are introduced for hyper-redundant robots of both constant and variable length. We also illustrate how the locomotion algorithms can be used to plan the manipulation of objects which are grasped in a tentacle-like manner. Several of these gaits and the manipulation algorithm have been implemented on a 30 degree-of-freedom hyper-redundant robot. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate and validate these concepts and our modeling assumptions.

text: Coston recalled a couple who owned a beagle named Branson who were devoted to the dog. "Both spoke in quiet, relaxed tones, seldom raising their voices," he wrote of the couple. "Neither was excitable beyond [a] quick and easy chuckle." Their dog Branson was their opposite. "We always had advance warning that he was coming, since Branson displayed another common beagle trait," Coston wrote. "As soon as the Kovacs put him in the car, he commenced to baying, a term that perfectly conveys the action... This mournful tune could be heard faintly at first, then more loudly, as the Kovacs' car neared the clinic. It reached an earsplitting crescendo as they eased into a parking space in front of the office. Listening to the racket, you expected to look out the window and find a pack of hunting dogs surrounding a treed raccoon. Instead, you just saw Branson in the backseat."

Kadagatan: A Curriculum on Filipino Culture & Marine Ecology
KADAGATAN incorporates Filipino culture and core values in teaching tropical marine ecology. Its aim is to engage students about environmental stewardship and to inspire them to take action in sustaining the wellbeing of their environment. This curriculum focuses on Filipinos and their intimate relationship with the sea, but the concepts covered in three modules are universal. Through standards and inquiry-based lessons and virtual activities, students will be taken on a journey into their past and place, beginning with the center most region of the Philippines, the Visayas. From there, students will explore the country's diverse and rich coastal communities and dive into the deep trenches of Philippine water, all within understanding the context and connections to our global environment.

In recent decades, the GOP has mastered getting their constituents to vote against their own economic interests. As Thomas Frank argued in What's the Matter with Kansas?, if you manage to yoke large-scale financial injustice to a boogity-boo "social issue," you'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Frequently used wedge issues in recent memory include abortion, immigration, and the shibboleth "family values," which more or less won the day in 2004.
Now, with gay marriage looking more and more like the defining civil-rights issue of our time, the right is naturally rushing to make a stand on the wrong side of history. (Right where they've been for all the defining civil-rights issues of the past century, incidentally.) An AP story quotes multiple conservative leaders in the wake of President Obama's recent refusal to defend DOMA, indicating that they expect the decision to "galvanize supporters of marriage" (that's straight marriage) in 2012. Family Research Council president Tony Perkins (above) told the AP,
"The president has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging Congress. It is incumbent upon the Republican leadership to respond by intervening to defend DOMA, or they will become complicit in the president's neglect of duty."
The story also quotes Brian Brown, head of the National Organization for Marriage:
"This raises the stakes and makes clear the executive branch is not willing to carry out its responsibility… I don't think by any stretch of the imagination the tables have turned on this issue. People in this country know what marriage is."
Is this going to work? Gay marriage was a wedge issue in 2004, but attitudes can change a lot in eight years. An August 2010 national poll conducted by CNN found that, for the first time, a majority of Americans supported a constitutional right to gay marriage; that positive trend, thank reason, seems likely to continue. This scheme might just blow up in the GOP's face.

Release Date: 2004 |
Great review.
I can't recall if I have ever heard of these guys, but I'm not really interested in them.
[QUOTE=Death to Pop-Punk]Pros:Technical - very technical.
CD makes an excellent frisbee.[/QUOTE]
:lol: Great work. You get a thumb.
:thumb:This Message Edited On 07.31.05
Great review.
Are they worse than DEP? If they are, i suggest you burn every copy of this band's work...
Frisbees are awesome. :P
Album Rating: 1.0 | Sound OffMuch, MUCH worse than DEP. I can respect DEP at times because they fuse their technicality with some degree of melody and constant train of thought. This is just shit on a disc.
Yeah, this disc is a frisbee, nothing more.
Album Rating: 3.0The way you describe how you're confused by this CD makes you seem like you "don't get it" instead of Psyopus not getting it. I feel that this CD is really fun and mindblowing. It's not as tasteful as other extreme bands in the grind/math metal genres but it's certainly not clusterfuck you make it out to be. Wait until SubtleDagger gets a load of this.
Album Rating: 3.5i agree with dfelon. this album is pretty good. i don't hear the songs as "random shredding" compilations or whatever.
they're insane live, too. i think you don't get it or like it, but you shouldn't disrespect their musicianship because of that.
Album Rating: 3.0Hey josh, like my avatar?
Miles Davis is an amazing trumpet player and he plays some amzingly technical stuff. Technicality doesn't require taste, Miles does it fine and everyone would "get it" and enjoy it. I have heard almost all the tracks (except The White Light and Anomaly) and all these guys are doing is hiding behind a guitarist who can shred, maybe if they added some melody to their song they could be technical and enjoyable but right now it is only random noise.This Message Edited On 07.31.05
Album Rating: 3.0Actually there are three guitarists who can shred.
For the record, every piece of music has melody. It's just not that apparent on the surface. If you listen to extreme stuff like this, you can't just assume that there's going to be some high pitched singer giving you the simple melody on top of a chord progression. There is more depth than that.
Album Rating: 3.0And also, anybody with a screen name that is related to Linkin Park probably isn't the best person to be able to dissect and understand a technical metal album. Sorry.
Melody is supposed to be simple and apparent that is what makes it the melody. Oh and for your information this screen name came after a trip to Germany almost 3 years before Linkin Park even announced Meteora. It is a name of a stone monument in Germany similar to stonehengeThis Message Edited On 07.31.05
Album Rating: 3.0Cool. So you reviewing Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water is an anomaly.
Melody is in no way meant to be simple or apparent. Some of the most beguiling, significant melodies are unique, confusing, subtle, or plain old difficult to hear. Maybe you need to listen to a band that's a little more sophisticated than 3 Doors Down to figure that out.
actually if you had some more musical background or studied you would now that the melody is the apparent theme or idea presented in a piece of music, which the rest of the piece is based off of and drawn from. And why not check my first review for a sophisticated band, of course they may be beyond you.This Message Edited On 07.31.05
Album Rating: 3.0I guess being a music major, a recorded artist, and a guitarist of ten years just doesn't cut it as musical background these days. Oh well. You just gave me a textbook definition of the word "melody." In the actual manifestation and true beauty of the idea, you are going to have to get a little more complex than what you read in a book. Furthermore, an apparent theme or idea can be hidden under mounds of shredding guitars. It doesn't have to be crapped onto the surface of a chord progression like I mentioned earlier.
Chords don't have to be in a progression either. And recorded as who/with who and if it is APPARENT how can it be hidden.This Message Edited On 07.31.05
This band is pretty good. I agree with DFelon and josh.
Album Rating: 1.0 | Sound OffJust to let you guys know, I have nothing against technicality. That was one thing I like about this band - they are very good musicians and their music takes a lot of talent. I just absolutely hate the music with a passion, no matter how technical it may be.
Album Rating: 5.0I love this band/album. One of my top 5's on both counts. Arp's sheer musical knowledge allows his shredding to sound random while actually being very refined. He just happens to break every rule about music ever. The songs I think are put together super well and the music is just so punishingly heavy. Brilliant song writers. This is a super progressive band I think. Not for the wanking reason (although they could there too) but because how many other bands can use so many leads and fills this way and still make music so heavy? The approach is really progressive and shows. And live.... live is amazing. I love this band.
Album Rating: 5.0I have to agree with Fast Fingers on this one. The album is simply amazing. I just have to listen to the extremely technical guitar licks along with the awesome arrangement and I am blown away. It is such a shame to see all these other people putting the band down without listening to them once. All you Coheed and Cambria listeners, this music is NOT FOR YOU...just go away.

TORONTO - Toronto was booed off the ice on Thursday night after a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia and one disgruntled fan even tossed a waffle at the team. Though they didnt find the incident particularly amusing, the Leafs were trying to keep their sense of humour after Saturdays morning skate.
(Francois) Beauchemin brought his stick for flipping waffles, forward Kris Versteeg joked when asked about the incident. But were not going to have waffles today.
Its just stupidity and it shouldnt even have happened during the game. You hate to see stuff get thrown on the ice. To (the fans) credit, yeah, it was a bad game and stuff got thrown. But you dont ever want to see anyone get hurt.
And The Winner Is
If you happened to catch the shootout between the Edmonton Oilers and Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday night, you would have been lucky enough to see the goal by rookie Jordan Eberle to open the round and the winner by newcomer Linas Omark. Eberle beat Lightning goalie Dan Ellis with a wrist shot after a series of nifty dekes, and Omark, making his NHL debut, fired a snapshot through Ellis legs after doing a spinarama at the blue line and then faking a slap shot.
Omark, hes a pretty crafty player, said Leafs rookie Nazem Kadri, who saw the highlight reel of the goal. I dont know how he had the guts to pull that off.
But Kadri, who demonstrated some nifty moves of his own in a shootout win over Boston last Saturday, said his favourite shootout moment had to be when Chicago captain Jonathan Toews scored three goals in Canadas semifinal shootout win over the USA in the 2007 world junior hockey championship.
I thought that was pretty amazing, Kadri said of Toews feat. At the time, I didnt even realize in international rules you could use the same guy over and over again. So, I always thought that was pretty cool.
It Would Be Classic
With this seasons edition of the Winter Classic just weeks away and the Big Chill at the Big House being played Saturday between Michigan State and the University of Michigan, injured defenceman Mike Komisarek wondered aloud what it would be like for the Maple Leafs and Canadiens to clash in an outdoor event.
I think an outdoor game would be great between the Canadiens and the Leafs. There would definitely be a lot of fan support, said Komisarek, who played for the Wolverines for two years. As a player, you watch them on TV the last couple of years and youd love to be a part of it. I think its great for the game, even better for the fans and its a win-win situation for everybody.
This years Classic is on Jan. 1 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh and pits Sidney Crosby and the Penguins against Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals. More than 100,000 people attended yesterdays U.S. university tilt.
Watch and Learn
In the province of Quebec, the Canadiens are king. But Leafs starter J-S Giguere never proudly donned the Habs jersey as a kid.
I never wore a Canadiens jersey growing up. I was a Quebec Nordiques fan, the Montreal native said. So, it wasnt too hard to get going against them.
But just because Giguere wasnt a fan of the Canadiens then doesnt mean the Leafs cant learn from them now.
They were a team that two or three years ago were struggling, just like we are. They turned it around pretty quick and look where they are now. I think theyre one of the better teams in the league. We can learn from how they play.

Russ - Lucy
Festival season is in full swing with the passing of Coachella, and that means everyone is breaking out their "Have you seen Molly?" t-shirts. But for Atlanta emcee/producer Russ, it's all about Lucy. In a new single that comes accompanied by a trippy visual directed by his label crew, DIEMON, Russ sings of a love for a girl that feels so familiar and gives him the cleanest, best kind of high that no other substance could possibly offer. At least I think it's about a girl. Behind the boards Russ adds some reverb to his vocals that act as a distorted instrument, creating a track perfect for mentally wandering around. Just as the staccato melody and drums are about to take you away into the sky, a Bullfrog-like bass brings you back to Earth. Lucy can be found on the versatile artist's outstanding new album, Brain Dead, which is available for free download and stream as of late March.

The information in this article applies to:
I have placed a dormer in my plan and would like to draw railings directly beneath its walls. How can I do this?
A classic example of a situation where railings must be placed under a dormer's walls is a two-story entry open all the way to the dormer's ceiling with railings around the open space on the 2nd floor.
In Chief Architect, any wall designated as "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom" can have a railing wall placed directly beneath it. The wing walls that make up automatic dormers have this option pre-selected, so you can place an auto dormer in your model, and then create railings directly beneath the dormer's side or wing walls.

Tracy Morgan Recovering After Sundance Collapse
Tracy Morgan is expected to return to the set of "30 Rock" Tuesday after collapsing during the Sundance Film Festival last weekend.
The comedian had just received an award from the Creative Coalition when he became ill. Morgan's publicist, Lewis Kay, said Monday that Morgan was suffering from exhaustion and that Park City, UT's 7,000 ft. altitude contributed to the comedian's collapse.
Morgan later tweeted that the high altitude "shook up this kid from Brooklyn," adding, "Superman ran into a little kryptonite."
