DAILYKENN.com -- All local authorities have to take their own responsibility for housing migrants, according to Sweden's Minister for Home affairs.
What's worse, asylum seekers who fail to qualify will be allowed to stay in Sweden for years before they will be expelled.
Worse yet is the failed asylum seekers will receive financial aid from Sweden's taxpayers.
The announcement leaves the impression that the government in Sweden is intentionally attempting to attract Islamic insurgents and plans to keep those who should be deported indefinitely.
It appears to be akin to the USA's amnesty program: Once an illegal alien steps foot on our soil, they are virtually guaranteed de facto citizenship.
I call it global Marxism and its objective is to alleviate the economic disparity that exists between Western nations and third-world countries.
The economic disparity is the effect of an intelligence disparity. Inhabitants of Third-world countries typically have average IQs ranging from 70 in some sub-Saharan African regions to about 85 in many Muslim nations. In the aggregate they simply can't compete with Western nations.
The solution — from a global Marxism perspective — is to colonize Western nations with low-IQ Third-worlders, thereby dampening the intelligence disparity and ultimately the economic disparity.
The outcome will be a decrease in the quality of life for all humanity as the Western-culture infrastructure is weakened.
Marxists care little about quality of life. They are solely concerned about equality of life; themselves, of course, excepted.
Officials in Sweden say they plan to deport 80,000 recently arrived asylum seekers.
Anastasia Levchenko — Failed asylum seekers facing deportation from Sweden will stay in special facilities and receive financial aid for several years before being expelled to the countries of origin, press secretary to Sweden's Minister for Home affairs Anders Ygeman told Sputnik Thursday.
On Wednesday, Anders Ygeman revealed Sweden's plans to expel up to 80,000 failed asylum seekers. He mentioned that deporting migrants would take several years, and charter aircrafts would be used for these purposes. — sputniknews.com

Haste Makes Waste
Rated 3 / 5 stars
If you're going to take a game like Toss the Turtle and make it a little more kid-friendly, can I suggest getting rid of the rapid clicking? Without the blood and "abuse" for a toss game I'm guessing you're targeting a preteen or younger audience and I'm not sure how capable they are when firing away on the mouse. Speaking of which, I had difficulties landing on an ostrich and clicking furiously only to trigger one of my rockets. Also, I don't know how rare the airplane was suppose to be but I upgraded everything to their max and only ran into two during the entire game. I decided on 3 stars for the in-game issues I mentioned before plus sometimes I'd be flying through the air and the turtle would just randomly slow down and it wouldn't allow me to click on my rockets or even land on a rabbit (despite them being right under me) so it felt almost as if I just went too far and the game decided my turtle needed to stop right then and there. All that said, I do like toss games and I did waste a good chunk of time playing to max out all the items. It did have a fun element to it and has potential. I guess my only real suggestions would be to next time avoid making a toss game that looks too much like another, (eg did it HAVE to be a turtle?) separate rocket abilities from regular screen clicking, and fix up how often purchases appear in-game.
Jack Tube
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
While it was simple and relatively easy to complete, I did struggle because it required some very specific pixel clicking that got frustrating after a while. Other than that, I enjoyed it.
Kingdom of Liars 1
Rated 4 / 5 stars
It was enjoyable but my biggest complaint was that it was a little too linear and too easy. The art was great and the music was nice but it was noticeably repetitive. Overall, it was a fun and simple way to pass the time. I look forward to seeing the story progress.

It's not long ago that station wagons of this vintage were among the furthest things from what could be considered a desirable car. Yet here we are, smack between Gen X'ers who want to relive their high school days and Baby Boomers who want to capture that nostalgic feeling of hauling the family on vacation. Whatever it is, there's definitely renewed interest in vehicles like this 1988 Buick LeSabre Estate Wagon here on eBay and showing just 28,919 miles.
In some ways, it's not surprising that this LeSabre is already approaching a $10,000 bid with just over a day left in the auction. There are common threads between most of the more popular enthusiast cars, which are: easy to work on; cheap / easy to find parts for; enables you to enjoy something you haven't previously (i.e., load up the back with four friends AND your new couch); and stirs up good vibes from passengers and passers-by alike. At least that's my formula, and it works well for vehicles like this LeSabre.
You are never too far from a woodgrain finish of some kind in an estate wagon like this Buick. The low mileage seems to be a big reason as to why the fake wood both inside the car and out still looks as good as it does, along with the rest of the interior. Blue cloth is used liberally throughout but still appears to be in great condition. The seller emphasizes that the overall cosmetic condition is indicative of a low mileage car, and I don't have any reason to doubt him; however, a test drive will reveal whether the suspension and transmission components are operating as well as the seller lets on.
Wow – practically acres of space in back, and the front bench still makes it possible for three people to ride up front. Utility and comfort! And what you don't see is the rear-facing third row that rises up out of the cargo bay. When you look at the ferrying and carrying capacity of this LeSabre, it's no wonder they were a namesake for many years for family travel. For someone looking for an emerging classic that still offers plenty of practicality, a vintage wagon in many forms will work – but make sure it has woodgrain trim and whitewall tires.

Yeshua is transliterated Hebrew in English. "Jesus" is English, which in itself is ultimately etymologically derived from a transliteration of "Yeshua" into the Greek Iesous. In any case, it's irrelevant, because a name is no more "correct" in one language than in another; that is to say, calling Jesus by that name is no different than calling him Yeshua or Iesous- they are all just linguistic tags attached to a concept. Languages have their rules and forms, so to claim that the Hebrew form is the "official name" is a little half-baked. Juan and John, Pedro and Peter, James and Iago; these names all mean the same thing; neither is "more correct". "Jesus" is the proper and (certainly) the near-universal English name-form. So then we would say additionally, "Jesus" would be the proper usage.

I'm Learning...
Sunday, January 06, 2013
I had an "aha!" moment this week. I actually stopped myself in the middle of a binge before it got out of hand.
I was alone in the house and bored, and I got hungry. I went into the kitchen and started grazing... then I realized I was eating too much and starting to binge. I was trying to talk myself out of eating more, but when I continued to eat, I started feeling guilty, and that made me want to just give up, give in, and keep eating until I was stuffed. I told myself that I could "just start over tomorrow" after I was finished eating everything in the house.
For some reason, I paused, and thought "It is only Jan 3, I haven't tried very hard, and I can't just keep doing this to myself over and over. This stops now."
At that point I decided to get on SparkPeople and entered what I had eaten in my food tracker to asses the damage. I really hadn't eaten all that much. If later i ate a small dinner, I would still be within my calorie goal range. By dinner time, I wasn't even hungry and I had a mug of warm milk and at the end of the day, I was actually a little under my calorie goal.
So I learned a few things:
1. If I am hungry, eat a small meal. Sit down and eat, don't eat at the fridge, and don't feel guilty.
2. If I am alone, hungry and bored...that is my "Danger Zone" and I am likely to binge. Keep busy and don't get too hungry.
3. It's never too late to pause and take inventory during a binge.
4. If I'm not hungry at dinnertime, it's OK to skip dinner.
So I turned a potential binge around! Wow! I am proud of myself!

A short documentary on "love-shy" men. Love-Shy men believe they are afflicted with a condition that prevents them from interacting with women. They ultimately fail to have relationships with women, and often die virgins. "Involuntary Celibates" are men who approach women all the time, but are always rejected. These men congregate on an online forum called Love-Shy.com. In the film, they meet up "IRL" - in real life along with the female filmmaker and "pretty boy" sound guy.

25 Random Things About Me: (Yes, Stolen from Facebook)
2. I lived in Paris for a year. I was very proud of the fact that some French people thought I was French after about 6 months. I am afraid that when I go back I'm going to sound like an idiot again. I think I'm going back for a visit in May! Yay!!!
3. My favorite food in the world is dill pickles.
4. I have had carpal tunnel release surgery on both my wrists. It worked, but my 10-hour/day playing schedule was never resumed.
5. In 7th grade, I was clocked at reading over 1,000 words/minute. I also got in trouble during read-aloud time in 2nd grade because I was 5 pages ahead of the class. I cried. (I really love to read.)
6. I started blogging when we lived in Paris. I have readers all over the world. Sometimes I freak out about that--family and friends kind of have to read me, but why are those people coming back? (So, why are you? Hmmm????)
7. I am allergic to cinnamon. And a whole bunch of other crap. Mostly organic aldehydes, according to Jeff, but also random stuff and things that I've encountered a lot, like Cherry Chapstick and gold. It's getting worse. I had a reaction to eyeliner a few weeks ago. I panicked. Me without eyeliner? That's a polar bear in a snowstorm. (Luckily, it has since died down.)
8. According to the neurologist, I have chronic low seratonin. This results in migraines and insomnia. I hate it. I have an arsenal of knock-out drugs, pain killers and triptans in my medicine cabinet because of it. Yoga helps, too.
9. I am not afraid of spiders. I really have no problem with them at all. (They are not allowed in my house, however. Jeff is all Buddhisty and takes them outside. I squish them.)
10. When I was in 3rd grade, I did that tongue on the pole thing in Kindred, North Dakota in the winter. I realized how stupid it was when I was stuck, and just ripped it off and dealt with the pain. I didn't tell my mom or my teacher. (I was scared of Mrs. Graf. I think I still am.)
11. I hate raw celery.
12. My daughter's middle name is Amelia. Jeff thinks it's after Amelia Aerhardt, but really I meant Amelia Bedelia when I brought it up.
13. This is my lucky number!
14. My mom died when I was 24. She was an amazing woman and an incredible mother. She was also an alcoholic. I miss her every day.
15. I have never once in my life smoked anything. Honest to Pete. (I've eaten a smoked chicken. It gave me the runs.)
16. I love Spaghetti-O's with meatballs. I realize they are gross. I have even eaten them at room temperature, straight out of the can. (It was summer and it was too hot to eat hot food.) My roommate at the time said, "They smell like vomit, but they taste really good." I thought that was a perfect summation.
17. My favorite meal is a rare steak topped with blue cheese, some sort of green veggie and a glass (or 2) of red wine. Follow with cheesecake or crème brulée and I might just melt.
18. I have a sick obsession with cleaning my ears with a Qtip. Drew Braunberger once described it as an "eargasm". I keep trying to stop, but I can't.
19. I am the Clearance Queen. I love to get a bargain, and will wait to buy something if I can estimate that "it will go down more", even if I ultimately lose it. It's kind of like a gambling addiction. I love Target, TJMaxx, Ross, Casual Corner (RIP), JCPenney's, and Kohl's. They have the best markdowns.
20. I want to be one of those people who looks like a rock star, but I just don't. I'm more Princess Grace than Grace Slick. I'm trying to deal with that. The whole Mad Men fashion thing is good for me because fussy 60's styles flatter me much more than deconstructed grungy things.
21. I brush my teeth too hard. My dentist yells at me for it.
22. I say both r's in February. I also use "whom" regularly, and get irritated when people use the wrong your/you're, their/there/they're, to/too/two, its/it's or put the apostrophe in plurals. I also dislike semicolons, but overuse double dashes. I'm working on this.
23. I used to think I was really fat. Then I had a baby. Now I think my body is AMAZING--look what it did!!! When I see photos that used to make me cringe, now I wonder what I was seeing. It's unbelievable what your mind can do to change your perception.
24. I have worked as a server and eventually a bartender at the Palace Sports Bar, the Ramada Inn, The Blue Moose Bar and Grill and Benvenuto's Italian Grill. I really enjoyed it, and I was good at it. I liked being with the people, moving around, making people happy, and making drinks. My Margaritas and Bloody Marys were highly praised. I don't like Bloody Marys.
25. My 4th fingers curve weirdly inward. I always have a hole between them and my middle fingers, no matter how hard I try to push them together. Kristen Kettler said it came from playing the clarinet too much, but I think my mom's hands were like that, too. Mine are just worse.

Re #6: Your blog is funny and honest and sweet but not overly precious and your recipes are good. I'm also an early 30s stay at homer with a young (3 yo) child and I cannot eat enough dill pickles (just accidentally bought reduced sodium ones - yuck!). It's just fun to get a peek into someone else's everyday. I should comment more often, I would love to, and feel a little creepy reading without commenting, but I am usually at the computer 5 minutes at a time so I end up just reading and thinking about commenting but not doing it. So there you go! Lauren

Thank you!!! I so love feedback, especially the good kind. :D Reduced sodium pickles? YUCK. What's the point?
Thanks for the sweet comment. I always appreciate them, and especially when a lurker delurks!!! ;)

Wrestling to Feature at the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games ({{commentsTotal}})
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted over the weekend to reinstate wrestling as an Olympic field following a decision in February to drop it from a list of core sports in the 2020 summer games.
Wrestling defeated baseball/softball and squash to win the last available spot, although wrestling would have been featured at the 2016 games in Rio in any case.
Wrestling received 49 votes out of 95, with baseball/softball gathering 24 and squash 22 votes.
The question has a great impact on Estonia, which has since 1920 picked up eleven medals in wrestling, including a silver medal won by Heiki Nabi, 28, at the 2012 London Olympics. A number of Estonian wrestlers competing as part of Soviet delegations between 1948 and 1988 also won medals.
The IOC also selected Tokyo to be the host of the 2020 summer games. The event was last held in the Japanese capital in 1964, where Estonians won two medals; Rein Aun came second in the decathlon event and Jaak Lipso was part of the Soviet basketball team that won silver.

Trump extends private-sector health care program for vets
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump has signed a bill extending a program that lets some veterans seek medical care in the private sector.
The extension will give Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin time to develop a more comprehensive plan to allow veterans to more easily go outside the VA health system for care. The new law allows the VA to operate its Choice program until its funding runs out, expected early next year.
Trump says veterans have "not been taken care of properly" and the bill will extend and improve the program so they can see any doctor they choose.
The Choice program was put in place after a 2014 scandal over long wait times for vets at the VA medical center in Phoenix.
Sen. John McCain released the following statement on President Trump's signing of the new bill:
"I am gratified that President Trump today signed into law legislation that eliminates the sunset date on the Veterans Choice Program and ensures veterans continue to have access to timely and convenient health care in their communities. In the wake of the terrible scandal in care at the Phoenix VA and VA hospitals around the country, we made a promise that our veterans would never again be forced to face unacceptable wait-times for appointments, or drive unreasonable distances, to get the care they need. This legislation ensures we keep that promise as we continue the hard work of fully reforming the VA and enhancing health care for all veterans.
"Since Congress passed legislation creating the Veterans Choice Program, more than a million veterans have made seven million appointments with hundreds of thousands of health care providers in their own communities using the Choice Card. This represents millions of appointments that would have otherwise lagged in the VA's scheduling system for everything from routine check-ups and diagnostic tests to life saving heart and cancer treatment.
"As we mark the three year anniversary this month of the scandal in care at the VA, the enactment of the Veterans Choice Program Improvement Act sends an important message that we will not send our veterans back to the status quo of unending wait-times for appointments and substandard care. We have a long way to go to fully reform veterans' health care, but today's legislation is an important first step in that effort."
The program was to have expired in August.

It focuses on the priorities of older caregivers and people with learning disabilities to give numerous suggestions for increasing control people have over their affairs and links these to central legislation and entitlement issues. The book will be invaluable to professionals and academics who work with families tackling pressing future care decisions.

text: No matter how careful I am, every time I plug in or plug out the usb cable (to charge the Desire or connect it to a PC) I get a bad feeling that the little "tooth" inside the microusb port on the Desire will break, as it is only 1mm thick. Ofc, this is not the issue with the Desire specifically - but with every device with such a port. Anyone else has this fear? Am I being paranoid? My dad has a Tattoo and it has a miniusb port that looks like it can survive a nuclear holocaust.

We recently paid a visit to Hobbiton Movie Set. Hobbiton, which attracts the Lord of the Rings fanatics and movie buffs from around the world, is located on a scenic private farm near Matamata in the Waikato region of the North Island.It's an easy stop to include in a campervan itinerary where you're travelling from Auckland to Rotorua or vice versa. The attraction features a two-hour guided tour of the movie set as seen in the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movie trilogies. Afterwards, you can enjoy a drink and snack at the Shire's Rest Cafe before continuing on your campervan rental holiday. There's also a souvenir store with some great Lord of the Rings and Hobbit mementoes to take home.
Of course, Hobbiton isn't the only New Zealand destination with a Lord of the Rings flavour. New Zealand landscapes were truly brought into the international spotlight thanks to the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. If you're a film buff, you'll be captivated by the scenery and attractions around New Zealand, many of which you'll recognise from the movies. Here are some other ways to include Lord of the Rings highlights in your New Zealand campervan rental holiday. Combine them all into one trip, and you have a Lord of the Rings-themed itinerary which you can easily fit into a three-week campervan tour of New Zealand.
The volcanic cones of the central North Island featured as Mt Doom and Mordor in the Lord of the Rings movies. Take a scenic flight over Tongariro National Park (New Zealand's oldest National Park and a World Heritage Site) to view truly dramatic landscapes. You'll get great views of the live craters of Mt Tongariro, Mt Ngauruhoe and Mt Ruapehu, as well as the spectacular Emerald Lakes, the Blue Lake and the Tama Lakes.
The Weta Cave in Miramar, Wellington, gives visitors exclusive insight into the creativity and imagination that goes into crafting the art of Weta, the genius behind the characters and props from some of the world's best-loved movies. See props and displays in the museum, find information about the artists who created them and learn the stories of how they were brought to life.
And good news - entry to the Weta Cave is free!
Flat Earth offers specialised tours of Wellington based around The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. You'll see where the hobbits raced to the ferry and hid from the Nazgul, through the elf kingdom of Rivendell and beside the Fords of Isen. Highlights include Lothlorien, the outskirts of the Shire, the Gardens of Isengard, the River Anduin, and the sites of Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith. The tour also includes a visit to the Weta in Miramar.
Jens Hansen, Gold & Silversmith, Nelson
Jens Hansen was Creator of the One Ring for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Visitors have the opporunity to try on some of the 40 different rings that were used in the movies, including Galadriel's ring, Gandalf's ring and the true One Ring.
Nomad Safaris - Safari of the Scenes, Queenstown
Nomad Safaris operate two different Lord of the Rings tours of the Queenstown region, which featured prominently in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Safari of the Scenes - Wakatipu (Tour A) combines film locations from the LOTR trilogy with a true 4WD tour. The Safari of the Scenes - Glenorchy (Tour B) is a sightseeing trip through the valleys beyond Glenorchy encompassing some key Lord of the Rings Scenes. For a truly memorable experience, both Safaris of the Scenes can be done in one day.

Frankenstein Serial/Monsters
A Monstrous collection including 58 Stories and about 30 Hours of content
Featuring the complete FRANKENSTEIN SERIAL
This very scary collection includes multiple versions of classic tales of Frankenstein, Dracula (featuring a restored version of Orson Welles' version), werewolves, mummies, and lots of other monsters, including a restored version of the radio adaptation of KING KONG which kinda misses the mark, but other stories such as "Three Skeleton Key," "The Golem," and "Spider" really score and give a good scare. The entire 13 chapter FRANKENSTEIN radio serial, which has a strong script, somewhat influenced by 19th century stage versions of the story as well as the novel, is included on this audio DVD, sounding better than it does elsewhere as it has been restored to remove hum and improve clarity. A rare H. P. Lovecraft radio adaptation, "The Dunwich Horror" is also included in this collection. (Note: One track, "The Werewolf," is included even though sound quality is very rough even after restoration. For some reason I still find it intriguing, you can hear bits and pieces of scary dialogue which make you want to listen even closer. Anyway I didn't want to leave it out so there it is.)

Splashtop Remote
The ipad has the potential to be a true game changer in the classroom and Splashtop Remote might just be one of the keys to making that happen. When you can control your teacher computer through an ipad do you need an interactive white board anymore?
In Math class you can hand the ipad to a student and ask them to show the class how to solve a problem - just as you would have done on the interactive white board.
Phy. Ed. teachers can use this in an gym setting that is not well suited to an interactive white board.
A preschool teacher can use it to have a students demonstrate letter writing techniques and a high school teacher can use it to give students the power to show a class presentation.

Dirt 3
So who is playing it? I broke down and bought the digital download from GFWL, although I'm still looking for a DVD copy.
I've had some of the problems discussed at the Dirt 3 forums. To begin with the graphics weren't quite right with the strange looking sun and text, both fixed with the latest ATI drivers (as opposed to the Asus I had been running). Also can't get the offline profile to work. Making do with the online profile for now. I also now can't get the fast forward to work off the keyboard in the replay although it had earlier worked. Had the problem with the wheel settings not sticking too; the latter is fixed by using first the wheel start button before pressing keyboard buttons to navigate the menus. Anyone experience these problems and in particular resolved the offline profile problem?
I wasn't at first impressed with the graphics, but the updated ATI driver appears to have brought out the best in them; before everything appeared bland and now there are greater contrasts in color and things look more realistic. Subtle, but it's there.
I'm not far into the game but some have complained of the races being short. I'd agree that some of the early races seem short, but then I thought some in Dirt 2 were long enough to become tedious. You just can't please everyone all the time. I'll suspend judgment on gameplay until I've completed more of the game.

I'm playing Dirt 3 and I think it's really good. But I'm playing mine on my PS3.

Going to pick it up tomorrow.
|My System Specs

Being a big fan of Dirt 2 I was looking forward to Dirt 3. Its not bad at all. Runs very well on high/max settings here DX11 1920x1080. Controls are good and seem improved over Dirt 2. I do have 2 gripes with the game so far however(both graphical). First, I was hoping for a little higher quality cockpits this time around but again the textures appear low quality. Maybe i'm spoiled with NFS Shift 1/2 and their very high quality detailed cockpits but I dunno... expected a little better. Also in cockpit view the vibration of the camera is a little hard on the eyes after a bit. Overall though its a good game and worth a purchase if not now at least when it hits the budget bin.

I'm getting a bit annoyed with the millions of issues that people are having with the game, I am having a few really bad issues myself, firstly is the constant stuttering, of which i've took the liberty of recording on my iPad and uploaded to youtube:
and secondly is the appcrash of ntdll.dll, this also freezes my system on Vista and has done it once on 7, 7 is a fresh install as well. Getting really annoyed with these problems...
|My System Specs
|28 May 2011
Just noticed MrNeeds that you are running the same kind of system specs as myself. Same Q6600 @ 3GHz and a GTX 260 card. I'm not getting any stuttering at all within game so i was wondering are you overclocking that GTX 260? And if so have you tried it back on default values to see if that helps?
|My System Specs
|28 May 2011
it's only my processor that's overclocked, all the other hardware is stock clocking.
|My System Specs
|28 May 2011
Wow, that stuttering is awful. I've had a few lower frame rate issues in a few places on the PS3 version...but nothing like that when you are all by yourself.
|My System Specs
|28 May 2011
It seems to be rather random spots as well, I did a 6 lap race and it only happened them 2 times, but in different spots, I think it might be the rapture software with my headset and realtek drivers loaded at the same time...
|My System Specs
|28 May 2011
That is bad stuttering you have there. It may be something particular to your software/hardware config though. I believe that's LA you're in and I'm not that far yet (not alot of time to play as I'd like). So far Dirt 3 runs very smooth but I'll have to see when I get to the same race you've posted in the video to make any comparison. I had some stuttering in the same races others complained about in Dirt 2 (LA also) but it was only in those races and nowhere else; there I believe it was just in the game code.
I like this game the more I play it. Looking forward to taking most of a day soon to do just that.

Two immunologically distinct PAIs, PAI-1 and PAI-2, exist in the maternal circulation during pregnancy. SDS-PAGE with zymography showed pregnancy plasma contained 40kDa PAI-1, 75kDa α2-antiplasmin and two novel bands of PAI-2 at 130kDa and 75kDa. The size and intensity of the bands of PAI-1 and PAI-2 increased during pregnancy. Non-denaturing PAGE with zymography was developed for semiquantitative analysis of PAI-2. PAI-2 migrated as fast and slow bands on non-denaturing PAGE, which corresponded to 75kDa and 130kDa PAI-2 detected after SDS-PAGE. Fast PAI-2, the major form, was detected between nine weeks and six days postpartum. During pregnancy the bands of fast and slow PAI-2 increased in size and intensity to a maximum at 30-35 weeks. An ELISA, specific for PAI-2 antigen, was developed which used a rabbit antibody raised against human placental PAI-2. With a detection limit of 1.8 ng/ml, this ELISA was used to quantify PAI-2 in plasma and body fluids. Plasma PAI-1 and PAI-2 increased to maximum concentrations of 112.5 ± 28.9 ng/ml and 197.3 ± 56.9 ng/ml respectively during the third trimester and decreased slightly before delivery. After delivery PAI-1 decreased rapidly, while PAI-2 persisted longer in the maternal circulation. The postpartum half-lives of PAI-1 and PAI-2 were determined as 30 minutes and 24 hours respectively. Plasma from pre-eclamptic subjects showed elevated PAI-1 and decreased PAI-2. Plasma from pregnant subjects with DIC also showed increased PAI-1 and decreased PAI-2. PAI-2 was not detected in plasma during molar pregnancy. Amniotic fluid contained PAI-1 and fast PAI-2. Amniotic fluid PAI-1 doubled between 16 weeks and term, while PAI-2 decreased slightly. Term amniotic fluid PAI-1 was 8-fold higher than PAI-2. PAI-2 was also detected in ovarian cyst fluid, plasma from subjects with pancreatitis, septicaemia and leukaemia showing that PAI-2 is not a pregnancy-specific protein.

On Valentine's Day Lane County Hearings Official Gary Darnielle ruled that Greg Demers and the McDougal Bros.' Lost Creek Rock Products can go ahead and mine Parvin Butte, despite possible negative effects on the rural community that surrounds the butte.
It's not every day that a majority of Eugene's City Council, Stephen Colbert, Oregon Country Fair and Occupy Eugene have a cause in common. But the far-reaching, unpopular Supreme Court decision on Citizens United has given those concerned about the future of democracy a reason to come together.
Last week the council voted 6-1 to call for a resolution supporting an amendment to the Constitution that would clarify that corporations aren't people. This week democracy activists are holding People United: More than a March, at 11 am Feb. 25 at the Free Speech Plaza.
Eugene's Gay/Straight Alliance student leaders will be special guests at a meeting that will discuss equal rights for the gay, lesbian and transgender community in Oregon — and the students are excited about the chance to gain insight from statewide activists.
While the fight rages on against the massive Keystone XL pipeline that would bring tar sands oil from Canada through the U.S. to processing facilities, small groups in the Northwest and the Rockies celebrate a victory in their fight against the machinery that feeds the controversial tar sands.
Hooking up is a pretty basic human need. For some the only criterion for "getting primal" is a warm body and a heartbeat. For others it gets a little bit stickier.
Anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski said that the primal human needs are food, sex and shelter. But for some, food choices have an effect on their love lives, and we don't mean that whole garlic breath makes for bad kissing problem.
• What's up with the R-G's beef with Commissioner Pete Sorenson? The daily is filling its pages with unrelenting spin trying to sway the public into thinking Lane County's green and liberal commissioner is somehow both a political mastermind and utterly incompetent. To read the Feb. 18 R-G article about the Democratic Party of Lane County (DPLC) endorsements, you would think Sorenson engineered the whole event just to get a nod from the Dems. And you'd think the reporter who wrote it actually showed up to the event he was writing about. Apparently not.
• Ben Cannon, education advisor to Gov. Kitzhaber, will speak on "Public Education: Oregon's Commitment To Learning and Equal Opportunity" at City Club of Eugene, 11:50 am Friday, Feb. 24, at the Hilton, lobby level.

"Ellen passed away." Even over the phone I could tell my friend was fighting tears. Just the day before, I attended the 10th annual meeting of Lane Independent Living Alliance (LILA). We talked fondly about Ellen Bombero and her role in its tumultuous beginnings.

In Iraq
For those who fiend for the authenticity of Portland's indie-art aesthetic, the idiosyncrasy of the power duo and the elegance of a classical stringed instrument, Talkdemonic is your Homeric lotus fruit, your Coleridgean Xanadu — with Lisa Molinaro on viola and Kevin O'Connor on drums, loops and laptop (and the occasional avant-banjo thrown in), Talkdemonic comes to Eugene as a complete package.
Dan Jones is the bed-headed poet laureate of Eugene. More of a verbal fix-it man than a lyricist, Jones finds beauty in the ordinary while coaxing poetry from things most writers leave in the garage.
You're at your first Keller Williams show, not quite knowing what to expect. The stage is littered with guitars, a drum pad, speakers, synths. A regular-looking guy takes the stage and the crowd perks up.
There's a rich supply of folk music out there, and it's a vein that Opa Groupa isn't afraid to tap. The band has formed its own brand of rhythmic, danceable world music.
With the success of the UO women's Ultimate Frisbee team, Fugue, which won the President's Day Invitational this past weekend in California, it's no wonder the sport is enjoying such popularity in Eugene.
"I wanted to do something more with my life … I wanted something that would connect with my heart," Paul Nicholson says, explaining how a corporate man from New Zealand came to be executive director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
Since when does a ambiguous county law supersede the First Amendment? The hearings officer at the county has made his decision on the mining of Parvin Butte. I think that everyone in the Dexter/Lost Valley area is shocked!
I am a straight 24-year-old female who has known my fiancé since freshman year of college. He has a fetish where he likes to watch women use the bathroom. I knew this, having seen some of his porn early on, and I accepted it. We all have kinks. But while peeing in front of someone isn't that big of a deal, shitting in front of someone is hard.
The end of the world has been depicted — repeatedly — in movies before. But 2011 wasn't a time for grand heroics, for world saving and self-sacrifice. Instead, we got existential angst. Maybe that sounds a little grim, and sometimes it was.
Eugene can be a contradictory place. Some find numerous opportunities here, seeing Eugene as a community full of music, culture, good food and outdoor adventure. Others characterize the city more prosaically, as a nice place to live, but maybe a little … lacking in diversions.
Count cartoonist Michael Allred in the former category. "Growing up in Roseburg, Eugene was always the exciting place to go," he says. Allred, creator of the independent critical-darling comic book Madman, moved on to college in Utah (where he met his wife, comic-book colorist Laura Allred) and eventually lived for a time in Eugene. He later relocated to various points all around the country, and even to Europe. But Eugene always held a special place in his heart.
Every year producers and distributors of biofuel cross their fingers and wonder whether an extension of a federal subsidy of biofuels will pass, and this year they drew the short straw.
The Federal Excise Tax Credit (FET) on biofuels expired in January. The FET was created in the late 1990s to incentivize the use of biofuels — it provided a wholesale level subsidy on biofuels. Without this funding, the biofuel industry, including the biofuel industry in Oregon, is scrambling to maintain stable prices for its products.
As Lane County crosses its fingers in hope that Congress will renew federal county funding before massive budget cuts hit county services from the jail to animal control, sparks flew at the Feb. 8 commissioner meeting over proposals to make both real and "symbolic" budget cuts.
Back in 2008 Beyond Toxics (then Oregon Toxics Alliance) did research on the dangers of using toxic pesticides on school grounds. The organization tracked issues such as how many schools had to be evacuated and how many kids were sent home sick from toxic exposures. As a result in 2009 the Oregon Legislature passed a bill that ensures Oregon private and public schools K-12 as well as community colleges must first look to nonchemical means of controlling pests. This new policy starts in July, but schools and government agencies are getting ready for the transition now.
The shores of Triangle Lake are surrounded by clearcuts that have been sprayed with toxic pesticides. On Saturday, Feb. 11, almost 100 people came out to the rural community to speak out against this chemical trespass, according to pesticide rally participant Day Owen of the Pitchfork Rebellion.
Nothing says love like a good protest. Conveniently enough the most recent State Land Board (SLB) meeting took place on Valentine's Day and more than 60 protesters showed up in Salem with cards and cakes to let the SLB know that the Cascadia Forest Defenders and other conservationists want state forests to be better mananged.

'FLEURY 1916' was inspired by the Battle of Verdun. Fleury was a key location in the of Verdun. These are 75mm resin figures and I believe were produced by JDM MIniatures which is now out of business. This commissioned vignette was built and painted by Dave Youngquist and is part of the MichToy Collection. It features a French Poliu* and Officer in action during the the battle. Be sure to check out more of our Great War articles featured here on News from The Front.
|Fleury today
Fleury-devant-Douaumont (Fleury) had 422 inhabitants on the eve of the Great War. It was located on the heights of the Douaumont hill, some 8km northeast of Verdun. The villagers led a peaceful existence until the late 19th century, when they found themselves at the center of a line of defense forts (Douaumont, Souville, Vaux and Froideterre) built after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71. Their lives change forever during the Battle of Verdun, the German offensive of 1916. Shelling started on the morning of February the 21st 1916 amidst falling snow. An order was given that the village should be evacuated, and the villagers left in great haste, boarding carts and leading their livestock to Bras-sur-Meuse. An observer a few days later noted that the urgency of the evacuation had ben such that food had been left half eaten on some of the tables in the houses.
On 24th of February, the capture of Fort Douaumont presaged the destruction of the village of Fleury. By May, all that remained were ruins. The incessant bombardment and the capture of the Fort de Vaux by the Germans on June 7, 1916 pushed Fleury in the front line. On June 23, the Germans captured the village, then La Poudrière, an advance post located farther down the slope, on July 11. The French re-seized the position on June 24, but lost it shortly after. Fleury had become a key location in the Battle of Verdun. It was alternately occupied 16 times by the French and the Germans between June 23 and August 18, 1916, when the soldiers of the French Colonial Troops from Morocco re-captured it for good. By then Fleury was a vast field of ruins, which served as starting point for the French offensives that led to the re-capture of the forts of Douaumont and Vaux.
|Fleury in 1916
|The white posts mark where the village streets once ran
|Poilus in a trench at Verdun 1916
The word carries the sense of the infantryman's typically rustic, agricultural background. Beards and bushy moustaches were often worn. The poilu was particularly known for his love of pinard, his ration of cheap wine. The image of the dogged, bearded French soldier was widely used in propaganda and war memorials. The stereotype of the Poilu was of bravery and endurance, but not always of unquestioning obedience. At the disastrous Chemin des Dames offensive of 1917 under General Robert Nivelle, they were said to have gone into no man's land making baa'ing noises—a collective bit of gallows humor signaling the idea that they were being sent as lambs to the slaughter. Outstanding for its mixture of horror and heroism, this spectacle proved a sobering one. As the news of it spread, the French high command soon found itself coping with a widespread mutiny. A minor revolution was averted only with the promise of an end to the costly offensive.
The last surviving poilu from World War I was Lazare Ponticelli who died on 12 March 2008, aged 110.

The Voice of Corporate Finance
The Macquarie Asian Alpha Fund seeks to offer pure alpha by exploiting inefficiencies present in the listed equity markets of Asia. The team aims to achieve this in a relatively low risk manner and to produce a tight, positively biased reward profile.
The fund was launched in 2005 and implements a non-systematic quantitative equity market neutral strategy. Since its inception, the fund has achieved an annualised return of 9.9% with daily volatility of 4.6, giving a reward to risk ratio of 2.2. Assets under management are approximately $2b and the fund is currently closed at full capacity. Figures are as at 31 December 2014.
The investment process is quantitative in nature with investment decisions being ultimately discretionary. A proprietary platform that makes use of graphics assists in the practical implementation of the process. The strategy is underpinned by quantitative screening, company analysis, active trading and prudent risk management.
Quantitative screening techniques are used to identify baskets of potential investment opportunities. Each screen aims to systematically identify opportunities where stocks are believed to deviate from fair value due to human behavioural biases and include thresholds combining factors measuring value, quality, momentum and analyst sentiment.
After the screening process, stocks are assessed by the portfolio management team. The additional analysis takes into consideration current market conditions, subtleties in the interpretation of quantitative information and other relevant information that may not have been captured in quantitative data. Part of this review process may rely upon non-systematic inputs provided by the PM team, which capitalises on its skill set and experience researching and trading Asian equities.
The portfolio construction process combines the investment opportunities identified in the screening and company analysis stages of the investment process in a risk-controlled framework which considers market, country, sector, currency and company-specific risks. The aim is to create a risk-controlled portfolio.

EXTENDED TO JANUARY 31st!
Dear Book Lover,
A little over a year ago, Kate Messner took up the #WeNeedDiverseBooks cause and spurred the handselling phenomenon that was The Great Greene Challenge.
This winter, the We Need Diverse Books team hopes to catapult another title into the spotlight with its #DrumItUp for Drum Dream Girl campaign, highlighting the latest book by Margarita Engle, the first Latin@ Newbery Honor winner. Drum Dream Girl: How One Girl's Courage Changed Music, illustrated by Pura Belpré Award-winning artist Rafael López, is a beautiful, poetic narrative of a young girl's bravery to pursue her dreams in the face of naysayers.
Inspired by the childhood of world-famous Chinese-African-Cuban musician Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, Drum Dream Girl is not only a vibrant tribute to the musical arts, but also a noteworthy contribution to the gender equality movement.
Engle's descriptive yet rhythmic text takes readers into the heart of a young girl with a burning passion for music. Paired with López's colorful surrealistic art style, the book allows readers to feel her passion while imagining the musical milieu of 1930s Cuba. Its central message says not to be limited by your gender, to persevere against all the norms, to have the courage to dream big and to have the determination to make that dream a reality. Simply put, Drum Dream Girl is bold, bright, daring and simply fantastic.
This picture book is a true celebration of what it means to follow your dreams. Drum Dream Girl by Margarita Engle and Rafael López isn't just a "don't miss" kind of book. It's a book that all readers, booksellers, and authors will find to be a valuable addition to their collection. Read this book, buy this book, gift this book, talk about this book, and we think you'll agree that this diverse book is one of the most distinguished picture books of this year.
The We Need Diverse BooksTM team invites booksellers and readers of all ages to join us as we celebrate this inspiring story. From November 28 to January 31st, bookstores will be drumming up interest in the book by striving to sell as many copies as possible. On Indies First Day (Small Business Saturday, November 28), members and supporters of the We Need Diverse Books movement will be appearing in bookstores across the country to handsell this title to patrons as they browse, and a social media effort centered around the hashtag #DrumItUp will commence the following week. At the end of the selling period, the top selling bookstore, as determined on a sliding scale, will receive a prize package including a WNDB Bookseller of the Year trophy and a large high quality giclee print signed by Rafael López.
Don't worry, teachers and librarians, we haven't left you out! If you want to participate, sign up using the form below. Take a photo of the display and email it to firstname.lastname@example.com (along with your name, job title, institution and location) to be entered into a lottery to win your own signed print! Please keep us apprised on your circulation numbers and patron/student feedback!
More importantly, young readers across the country will have received a gorgeous, inspiring book about the power of music and overcoming odds. Please join us!

How do I promote #DrumItUp in my store/library/classroom?
You can download the above high-resolution picture to your computer and use it in your promotional materials online or in print flyers in your store. The WNDB website and social media accounts will list and promote your bookstore as a participant in the challenge. Local supporters will come in and help you promote and handsell the book whenever they can! You can reach out to authors, librarians, and other supporters in your community, and they will also be reaching out to you.
What are some talking points I can use when promoting Drum Dream Girl?
Some of the book's appeal factors include:
- Music
- Mixed ethnic and racial heritage
- Feminism
- Following your dreams
- Cuba
- Island setting
- NOT just for girls
Some popular picture books, recent and classic, that are good comparisons:
- Little Melba and Her Big Trombone by Katheryn Russell Brown and Frank Morrison
- Harlem's Little Blackbird by Renée Watson and Christian Robinson
- Who Says Women Can't Be Doctors? by Tanya Lee Stone and Marjorie Priceman
- The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch
- Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman and Caroline Binch
- Me…Jane by Patrick McDonnell
- A Train for Jane by Norma Klein
This seems like a lot of work when I'm already in the holiday season rush.
When you're stressed about helping yet another customer find the perfect book, isn't it great to have something in your back pocket already? And for those shoppers in a rush, sometimes they'd rather have one great suggestion than have to comb through a bunch of books when they're not sure what to buy. Plus, this keeps things fun for your staff! Maybe you can even have a smaller competition in-store to see who sells the most copies.
Also, each participating bookstore will get promotion through We Need Diverse Books social media channels.
This is also a great chance to familiarize yourself with a diverse book title and to learn more about why diverse books are so important, especially for young readers. Want to know more about the effects of being marginalized in literature and how it affects kids' academic success, love (or lack thereof) of reading, and self-esteem? Visit diversebooks.org/faq.
Okay, you're starting to convince me. What's the prize for selling the most books?
Bookstores: We'll send you a package of prizes, including a beautiful print signed by Rafael López that you can hang in your store, a certificate from WNDB, and a host of other goodies. Libraries/schools: the lottery winner will receive a signed print and a certificate of thanks from WNDB.
I'm not a bookseller, teacher, OR librarian. What can I do to help?
Tweet, Facebook, blog, and email widely! Encourage the use of the #DrumItUp hashtag, and tag your friends, local librarians and teachers, authors, and local indie bookstores to get everyone onboard. If you've read the book, leave a review on Amazon, GoodReads, or LibraryThing. And don't forget – walk into your nearest bookstore and buy a copy – it makes a great gift for yourself or for someone you love!
What authors will be handselling on Indies First day?
The number increases every day, but so far:
Ellen Oh – Politics and Prose, Washington, DC
Alex Gino – Mrs. Dalloway's, Berkeley, CA
Miranda Paul – The Reader's Loft Bookstore, Green Bay, WI
I.W. Gregorio – Chester County Book Company, West Chester, PA
Elisa Sussman – Skylight Books, Los Angeles, CA
and many more… Keep checking here as we list participants!
I'm definitely in. How do I sign up?
Visit diversebooks.org/drumitup
I have one more question…
Just email weneeddiversebooks @ yahoo . com!

What To Prepare
Best Actor and Best Actress Nominees – Music:
For the adjudication process and for performance at the 2018 Ben Vereen Awards San Diego competition, all Best Actor/Best Actress Nominees will be asked to prepare an edited 2 1/2 minute version of a song from their nominated performance and an edited 2 1/2 minute contrasting piece not from their nominated performance. Utilizing Dropbox, we will ask you to submit electronic copies of the sheet music with the selected cuts in advance so that the Ben Vereen Awards Musical Director/Accompanist can become familiar with the music.
Best Actor and Best Actress Nominees – Clothes:
No costumes, sets or props are allowed at the competition. Contestants are required to provide two different performance outfits at the competition.
The first is a "dress blacks" outfit, with long sleeve black shirts, black slacks and black dress shoes for the boys. For the girls, the look is a "little black dress" with a modest skirt length and black dress shoes with a modest heel. You will be taught opening and closing numbers with music and choreography that will be performed in your dress blacks, so you need to be able to move in them.
The second required outfit is a "Red Carpet" look. For the boys, this means a nice dress suit or tux. For the girls this is a chance to show off your very best formal dress. Prom dresses are acceptable if they are elegant and not too revealing. You will be performing your solo pieces in your Red Carpet look.
Best Musical Nominees:
A minimum of three schools nominated for Best Musical will be asked to perform one large production number from their show during the San Diego Competition. As with the Best Actor and Best Actress Nominees, the nominations for Best Musical are based on the numerical scores from the onsite adjudications by the local San Diego judges. During the San Diego Competition it will be the panel of VIP judges who will choose the winner of the Best Musical Award based on the live presentations that evening. The selected musical number should capture the character and spirit of the production and should include a large number of ensemble members. There will be a maximum performance time of five minutes. The selected musical production number must be approved in advance by the Ben Vereen Awards Production Team.
Best Musical Nominees must provide their own piano accompanist. Preferably, this will be someone who has worked on the production and is very familiar with show. Bands, orchestras and pre-recorded tracks are not allowed. Schools may not make special lighting, scenic or sound requests. Best Musical Nominee presentations must be done without sets, costumes or props. A uniform look of show t-shirts, black pants, and black shoes is suggested. Dressing rooms will not be provided.
All Best Musical Nominee cast members will be required to attend a dress/tech rehearsal earlier in the day on the day of performance. The exact times/rehearsal schedules TBD. The Teacher/Director and the Accompanist are expected to be at both the dress/tech rehearsal and the performance. Best Musical Nominee cast members will be able to sit in the audience until it is time for their performance.
The winner of the Best Musical Award will receive a trophy for display at the school and a check for $1,000. The Teacher/Director of the winning production will be invited on stage to receive these honors. Please note, the Best Musical Nominees will only perform at the San Diego Competition.

Being anon is perfectly fine. Just do that if you want. But you may desire to make a name for yourself in the Boxxysphere. Here are some things you can do:
- Get a youtube account and use it to subscribe to Catie's 2 main channels: anewhopeee and boxxybabee. Set it up to email you when there is a new video out.
- Join the forum at http://forum.catiewayne.com. That was the first thing I did after creating this site. Pick a username that won't tell people your real life identity which you can use on all the Boxxy related sites.
- Start posting on the forum.
- Lurk http://chan.catiewayne.com for a while, learn what not to do by watching others get banned.
- You can post to the chan anonymously but that will not get you known. (Personally, I post there anonymously more often than I identify myself using my tripcode.)
- Make up a tripcode based on your forum username. That is a username then a # sign then a password. Use the same name as on the forum so people recognize your name. The # becomes a ! and the password scrambles. "me#password" will become "me!8wUTr7ecJ2" Post using that tripcode. Use 2 # symbols to make it more secure.
- Get a Twitter account. Add @CatieWayne and other sphere members. For the most part, if my twitter account doubledaveee is following them, they are part of the sphere.
- On Fridays Catie uploads new videos to youtube and alternates every other Friday between posting to the chan and the forum. The combination of participating there, on twitter, and IRC are among the best ways to become known.
- Same with other social media sites like facebook and Google Plus. Add sphere friends.
- Don't use accounts that some sphere members can use to contact people you know in real life. Why? Read about the hacking then doxxing and stalking that happened to Catie in 2009 and you will see why it isn't a good idea to let your internet friends know your real identity. Although this isn't nearly as important anymore. It is up to you how secure you wish to be.
- Get in the Boxxy related Tinychat rooms and IRC channel.
- Make some type of fan art to get attention for yourself. When Catie comes back around (Every Friday, alternating between using the forum and chan to interact with fans, plus on Twitter), maybe she will have heard of you by then or others can vouch for you.
- ???

Historically, teachers have been allowed an "above the line" deduction (with an annual cap of $250) for various school supplies. However, starting in 2016, in addition to allowing teachers a deduction for school supplies, the PATH Act allows teachers an "above‐the‐line" deduction (with an annual cap of $250) for amounts paid for certain professional development courses. Such courses must be related 1) To the curriculum in which the teacher provides instruction, or 2) To the students for whom the teacher provides instruction.
Before this change, a teacher's unreimbursed expenses for professional development were classified as miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to the 2% threshold which, many times, caused the teacher to get little or no tax benefit from the expenditure. Starting in 2016, teachers should be aware of this change and retain documentation of unreimbursed costs they incur for professional development courses. Also, the $250 cap on this deduction is indexed for inflation starting in 2016. However, for 2016, the cap remains at $250 even after considering inflation.
The deduction likely applies also for the purchase of college credit associated with the professional development. You should consult your tax consultant for details and verification.

JJ and Jeff Meyer
Hunted the lake yesterday and again this morning. Limits of mallards both days along with two bonus wigeon today. We didn't see as many mallards today as yesterday but we had a better wind direction today.
Today we worked a couple of nice bunches of 75 to 100. Jeff Meyer was having trouble with his 12 gauge this morning. The trigger would not reset after firing the first shot. He was so frustrated that he walked back to the truck to get his 20 gauge. (Tom Harpstreith is smiling) He was concerned that he didn't have enough firepower.
His first shot at 20 yards was merely a tactic to allow the birds to get to 50 yards. The strategy worked perfectly as he crumpled a drake. So much for not enough firepower.
The next flock was our bunch of 100. The majority of the birds were on Jeff's side of the pit. The lead birds were at 15 yards and 10 feet off the water. Jeff's first shot stoned a drake. Jeff's second shot bagged another drake. His third shot dropped two drakes! That's right, three shots four drakes. Knapp you got nothing on the Meyer. Jeff shoots almost as well as Todd Norsten.
We are heading back to the river tomorrow. Will let you know how we do.
