Democrat Rob Zerban, a former small business owner and former Kenosha County Supervisor who ran against Ryan in 2012 for the 1st Congressional District seat, is expected to announce over Saturday that he is forming an exploratory committee in advance of another run.
The announcement rally will begin at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct., 26, at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside in Kenosha.
Tickets are free and can be requested by calling 262-657-7400 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Also last week, Amar Kaleka, 35, the son of the Brookfield Sikh temple president slain in the 2012 shooting, announced he also would for form an exploratory congressional committee. He plans to announce his run as a Democrat next month.
Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District includes Walworth, Racine and Kenosha counties, as well as the eastern half of Rock County, including Janesville. The city of Beloit is in the 2nd Congressional District.
Kaleka's father, Satwant Singh Kaleka, was a founder of the temple when, on Aug. 5, 2012, a white supremacist walked into the temple and opened fire, killing Kaleka and five others before taking his own life.
Kaleka told reporters he wants to bring accountability and transparency back to Washington. He blamed the government shutdown on Ryan, the House Budget Committee chairman. Kaleka said citizens are tired of career politicians who care more about staying in power than serving the people.
Zerban would face Kaleka in a primary if the both officially get into the race.
Al Benninghoff, Zerban's committee coordinator, said that his announcement comes on the heels of new polling from Public Policy Polling showing Ryan within the margin of error against a generic democratic challenger (Ryan at 48 percent and a generic Democrat 46 percent).
In 2012, Zerban held Ryan under 55 percent despite being outspent three to one in what was the sixth most expensive Congressional race in the county in 2012.
Bennington also noted that Zerban defeated Ryan in his home county, his hometown of Janesville and also his home voting ward by a margin of two to one.
Despite redistricting, the seat remains within the top 15 percent of races that are considered competitive if the Democrats are to retake the House in 2014.
Ryan has spent recent weeks in Washington, working on a way to break the impasse over raising the debt ceiling.
The government went into a partial shutdown Oct. 1, after House Republicans declined to take up a continuing resolution to fund the government unless Congress implemented a one-year delay in the Affordable Care Act.
The government closure came on the same day that the health insurance marketplaces came online.
The debate then moved to raising the debt ceiling after the U.S. Treasury reached it's statutory limit for borrowing in the middle of last week.
Ryan had been conspicuously off the political radar during early negotiations until Oct. 9, when he published an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal arguing that the debt ceiling negotiations were an opportunity to tackle spending on entitlements.
In his piece, he didn't mention the Affordable Care Act, and Republicans moved away from the issue as a rallying point as negotiations continued into the week.
A primary would be held Aug. 12, 2014 with the general election Nov. 4, 2014.

Local woman training own service dog
LAFAYETTE TOWNSHIP — Nancy Welch was at her lowest point, and doctors had not come up with enough answers as to why she was suffering from non-epileptic seizures or how to proceed medically.
But a chance encounter with a four-legged passerby while lying in a hospital bed changed Welch's outlook, and eventually her life.
Read the current edition here: http://www.server-jbmultimedia.net/CSI-WalworthCountySunday
"I was in the hospital and feeling quite hopeless," Welch recalled. "I always have been an animal lover, and I heard that a therapy dog was coming through. I thought, with a name like Trixie, that it would be a Chihuahua or something small like that. But I wanted to see this dog. She turned out to be a Bernese mountain dog … it was a happy moment for me."
Welch sometimes suffers from extreme anxiety disorder.
"It's difficult for me to be in certain social situations (agoraphobia), and that's why this cause is so important to me," Welch said.
That cause is called Paws for Unseen Disabilities, an organization she created to help herself, and with more time and donations, she wants to provide the financial resources so others in the same or similar circumstances can buy service/therapy dogs.
To that end, Welch purchased Cooper, a lovable Bernese who is 12 weeks old today (Oct. 20).
She and her new best friend will head to Independence, Mo., for their first training session Oct. 29 with Susan Bass of Canine Specialties Training. Welch said she anticipates making monthly trips south, at least at the beginning, during a process that could take 18 to 24 months.
"I wanted to take the most affordable way, and I'm lucky because my sister-in-law lives 20 minutes from the facility, but I want to have an active role in the training process, and Susan has come highly recommended and has an unbelievable background."
Welch understands there are no guarantees. However, she is optimistic and has faith that Cooper is the answer for her, and that others in need could benefit.

Q. Todd Dickinson, outgoing executive director of the AIPLA
Todd Dickinson is stepping down as executive director of the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA).
Articulate, respected and well versed on the intricacies of patent law, it is unclear what he may be doing in the future.
But a statement announcing his resignation said in part that, "Dickinson … looks forward to continued engagement in the intellectual property community."
He was once mentioned as a possible nominee to return as director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). But President Barack Obama chose to appoint David Kappos for the opening.
Another option being discussed by Washington insiders is that Dickinson could be appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. There is an opening after Randall Ray Rader stepped down.
GCs and AGs join hands to tackle patent litigation
Intellectual prosperity: Growing, monetizing and protecting intellectual property
Will U.S. patent reform take place this spring or continue to be delayed?
It was President Bill Clinton who first appointed Dickinson as the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and director of the USPTO. He was in that post between 1999 and 2001. Then, he worked at Howrey Simon Arnold & White, where he was co-chair of its intellectual property practice group. General Electric recruited him to become vice president and chief intellectual property counsel. In 2008, Dickinson was named executive director of the AIPLA.
A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, he worked as an attorney then was counsel to Chevron Corporation, and later was chief counsel for Intellectual Property and Technology at Sun Company.
While at AIPLA, he represented the interests of the patent legal community before Congress and submitted briefs before America's top courts in key intellectual property cases.
His opinions were sought after in the crafting of patent reform laws in Congress, too. For instance, he told InsideCounsel that the delays in coming up with a patent reform bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee were "caused by the challenges of getting it right." He cited fee shifting as one of the key challenges that faced the Senate process.
"It has been a great honor for me to serve as Executive Director of AIPLA," Dickinson said in a statement released by the organization. "I am very proud of what we've accomplished over the past six years, and I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with many talented board members, volunteers and staff."
"We want to thank Todd for his dedicated service and wish him well in his future endeavors. His contributions to AIPLA have been significant, and we will miss him," Wayne Sobon, president of AIPLA said.
Meghan Donohoe, AIPLA's chief operating officer will run the group's day-to-day operations. Vincent E. Garlock, deputy executive director, will manage AIPLA's external advocacy and communications. The board will search for a new executive director.
The AIPLA is a national bar association involved with patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, and unfair competition law.

Money raised for shot dog's veterinary bills
MILTON—Jolene Schulz is an animal lover.
So it broke her heart when she heard the story of a Janesville family's veterinary bills after the family's dog Koda was injured in a July 27 shooting.
The Milton woman decided to take action.
"I felt it was my job as a human being to help," Schulz said.
She initially met with the dog's owner, Maria Ochs, to give her an application for the Badger Animal Fund, which provides assistance for animals in crisis that otherwise would not receive care. After realizing those dollars wouldn't be enough to cover Koda's vet expenses, Schulz started an online fundraiser Aug. 10 and created a Facebook page to keep donors and prospective givers up-to-date on Koda's progress.�
The $3,000 needed to pay for Koda's leg surgery was raised in about 60 days.
"It was overwhelming to see people giving so generously," Schulz said.
Donations from people who had no connection to the situation ranged from $20 to $250 each. The biggest donation of $611.20 came from Friends of Noah's 2012 Christmas Jar--a fund for people with exceptional need, said Lois Corwin, founder of the organization.
Friends of Noah is an all-volunteer Wisconsin dog, cat and rabbit rescue organization.
Koda's Cause was half way through its campaign, and donations were dwindling when it received the Christmas Jar money.
The donation "definitely was a big part of fulfilling the $3,000 amount we were looking for," Schulz said.
Schulz said people were compelled to give because they realized that what happened to Koda and Och's other dog, Pepper, who did not survive the shooting, could have happened to any animal owner.
The Janesville man who shot the dogs in 1400 block of Sharon Street acted in self-defense and should not face criminal charges, District Attorney David O'Leary later decided.
Koda's Cause became a labor of love for Schulz, who nursed Koda through recovery for three weeks while the dogs' owners found a new place to live.
"She became part of our family, and is like my goddog," said Schulz, who also is a Friends of Noah volunteer and opens her doors as a foster home for the organization.
Corwin said Koda would not have been able to walk on her front right fractured leg without the surgery.
"She couldn't bear any weight on that leg for the first week, started to slowly heal and had a limp for the first couple of months. Now, she's walking on all four paws and is a happy, healthy dog, even through she still has some limited activity," Schulz said.
"She can't run, she's not suppose to do stairs because that bone is still not completely healed back together," she said.
Koda was treated for her five bullet wounds the day she was shot and those were already starting to heal by the time she had her leg surgery, Schulz said
"When you're part of something like this--people coming together as a community to help this animal and family they did not know," Schulz said, "it restores your faith in humanity."

organs shape
How is the shape of organs controled(liver, kindey,bone,..)? Are there any maps of gens or any book on that topic? Is there known, which factors are invold in that process?
It's controlled by turning genes on and off, which causes certain cells to grow and differentiate, and triggers apoptosis ("programmed cell death") in others.
I found this. It's pretty dense, but I think it answers your question:
"The effect of insulin pathway activity on growth is largely autonomous to cells and multicellular regions, called compartments. Specific reduction of dAkt" (Drosophila Akt protein kinase) "function, an essential component of the insulin signaling pathway, in either the anterior or the posterior compartment of the wing imaginal disc results in a severe reduction of the respective compartment. ... Recently, a novel signaling complex that restricts organ size by controlling both proliferation arrest and apoptosis has been discovered (Ryoo and Steller 2003). Mutations in either hippo, salvador, or warts result in a failure of cell cycle exit and in a protection from cell death, thus leading to massively overgrown organs. How an organ knows when it has reached its final size, however, is still mysterious and thus challenging."
That was more so about size of organs; this goes into patterns of growth:
"An attractive hypothesis put forward based on a previous model of regeneration postulates that the individual cells of an organ primordium measure the concentration gradients of specific signaling molecules, such as Dpp in the Drosophila wing disc and Shh in the vertebrate limb bud (Day and Lawrence 2000). In immature small primordia, the gradients are steep and cells continue to grow and divide. Since the source of the gradient stays approximately constant, its concentration gradient flattens as the tissue grows. When the difference in the morphogen concentration sensed by the two ends of the cells along the axis of the gradient falls below a certain threshold, the cells stop growing."

Your Views: Kinnaman's liberal views amount to rabid distortions
I didn't expect agreement with Ted Kinnaman's Oct. 26 column; neither did I expect disappointment. Given his age, experience and position, one expects a thoughtful presentation with honest illustrations supporting his reasons without a rabid foaming of distortions.
Only five of his approximately 35 assertions are true or mostly true.
1) The Republican Party taking orders from the "anarchist" tea party. Anarchists? Really? Mr. Kinnaman, what laws did the tea party disobey? Can you name one? Our president arbitrarily refuses to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, existing immigration laws, federal marijuana laws, parts of the Affordable Health Care Act, and is end running Congress and other laws with regulatory agencies, not to mention: Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS abuse of conservatives, and other scandals and violations. Obama is the anarchist.
2) "They cannot accept this because Obama is not only a Democrat but a black Democrat." Mr. Kinnaman, how low can you go? Republicans cannot accept the AHCA because of its reprehensible aspects. Obama's race or party isn't a factor affecting opposition, nor respect, or lack of it.
3) "(Republicans) taken over by a tiny group whose hatred of government is so extreme." The tea party loves "good" government as our Founding Fathers intended. They want to "revive" not "revise" our Constitution as progressives desire. With your views, would you have been among the many Americans who, desiring security over freedom, opposed our departure from England? Do you desire a United Soviet Socialist States of America?

Congress is debating the biggest rewrite of U.S. partnership rules in 60 years, which may lead to higher taxes for real estate and finance businesses or prompt them to restructure operations to avoid new costs.
The more dramatic of two options from Dave Camp, the top Republican tax writer in Congress, would remove some of the flexibility that has made partnerships attractive legal structures for real estate investors and hedge funds. He also offered an alternative with lesser changes to simplify some rules and leave the core of the current system in place.
The broader proposal surprised tax law specialists, who hadn't anticipated a major policy shift for the 3.2 million U.S. partnerships. The plan may alter existing arrangements by making it more difficult to allocate income and property among partners without triggering tax consequences. Lawyers said they have spent the past week scouring Representative Camp's draft bill, especially his new second option.
"Option 2 is radical," said Blake Rubin, global vice chair of the U.S. and international tax practice at McDermott Will & Emery in Washington. "It would be the most significant changes to the partnership tax rules since their enactment in 1954."
Real estate investors and hedge fund managers may restructure partnerships to achieve the economic results they get in the current system, perhaps by creating contractual arrangements to replicate what the tax law would prevent.
When he released the proposal, Camp said he was seeking to simplify the tax system and make the U.S. tax code more fair. The proposal would change the rules governing what are known as pass-through entities -- businesses such as partnerships that don't pay taxes at the corporate level and instead pass their income through to their owners' individual tax returns.
Camp's proposal is a "significant step in the right direction," said Victor Fleischer, a partnership tax law professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder who has criticized tax maneuvers by private equity funds and other pass-through entities.
"Pass-through entities have, increasingly, been used to facilitate aggressive tax gamesmanship," Fleischer said in an e-mail. "Taxing pass-throughs should be about taxing all income once and only once, not shifting income around to avoid paying any tax at all."
Camp, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, released the draft as part of a plan to overhaul the U.S. tax code. The proposals affecting partnerships are the third in a series of drafts that would make structural changes to long-standing features of the tax code.
The first two drafts, if turned into law, would be the most significant rewrite of international tax rules since 1962 and the most fundamental rethinking of taxation of financial products since the modern income tax began in 1913.
Camp, a Michigan Republican, hasn't unveiled the rest of his plan, which he wants to advance through his committee this year. He has asked industry groups and others affected by the potential changes to offer comments.
"It's potentially a very positive step forward, and it's potentially a very negative step forward depending on how this section would fit in the larger tax reform mosaic of provisions dealing with real estate," said Jeff DeBoer, president and chief executive officer at the Real Estate Roundtable. The Washington group's board of directors includes executives of Dune Real Estate Partners LP and Hutensky Capital Partners.
Partnerships and other pass-through entities have become a popular way to organize businesses in the past 30 years because of tax-rate reductions for individuals, a double tax on corporate profits and interaction with state legal structures.
Such pass-through entities accounted for 38 percent of business receipts in 2007, up from 14 percent in 1980, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Some large businesses are organized as partnerships, including global accounting firms such as Ernst & Young LLP.
In 2010, 48 percent of partnerships were in the real estate, rental and leasing industries, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Finance and insurance partnerships reported 48 percent of net income.
The draft proposal on pass-through entities presented two options, an incremental set of changes known as Option 1 that have been discussed for several years and the more significant changes called Option 2.
The idea behind the broader shift would be to consolidate the rules governing S corporations and partnerships, both types of pass-through entities.
The S corporation rules are relatively inflexible, compared with partnership tax law. The law limits the number of shareholders, requires a single class of stock and restricts non-U.S. ownership.
The proposal would effectively remove some of those restrictions on S corporations and impose some new limits on partnerships.
Simplification would be welcome, though the proposal leans too far toward pushing people into an S corporation structure that growing businesses don't often use, said James Brown, a partner at Willkie, Farr & Gallagher LLP in New York.
"The proposal would make partnerships look too much like S corps, with their disadvantages," he said.
The changes could alter longstanding economic arrangements that were created to mesh with the current partnership rules. The transition to a new system, which isn't addressed in Camp's draft, will be important, particularly if the new rules affect existing partnerships, DeBoer said.
"I think the transition rules are going to be absolutely impossible," said Andrea Whiteway, chair of the partnership tax practice at McDermott Will & Emery. "It will be absolutely crazy, and I also think it will be crazy for S corps."
Among the dozens of changes outlined in the draft, tax practitioners are focusing on two areas in which the proposal would limit partnerships' flexibility: special allocation and distribution of appreciated property.
Under current tax law, partnerships can split tax benefits and income among partners in myriad ways. For example, in many real estate partnerships, depreciation deductions can be given only to some partners who want to use those breaks to offset other income.
Such special allocations reflect the different economic circumstances of multiple properties inside a single partnership and the varying contributions and levels of risk to individual partners, said Karen Burke, a tax law professor at the University of San Diego.
"While they can be abused, they do have an economic reason," she said, suggesting that taxpayers could split apart partnerships and use contracts to replicate what the tax changes might prevent. "If you got rid of special allocations, people would have to recreate them in other ways."
The proposal would limit special allocations only to net ordinary income and losses, net capital income and losses, and tax credits.
On distributions, current rules say that it's not a taxable event if a partnership distributes property that has appreciated in value to one of the partners. Taxes are generally triggered only upon sale of the property.
The new rule, mimicking the S corporation structure, says that the distribution is a taxable event to the partnership, which would then flow through to all of the partners.
The rules leave a number of issues unaddressed, including the tax treatment of private equity managers' carried interest, the law governing real estate investment trusts and potential changes to publicly traded partnerships such as Enterprise Products Partners LP.
Some of the changes being considered are so dramatic that they might have made sense in the abstract, if the tax code were being rewritten from scratch, Rubin said.
"It would be nice," he said, "but it might be so painful getting there that it's just not worth the" effort.

Brain evolution last 40,000 years

Brain evolution last 40,000 years
Have our brains evolved much since we started becoming civilizated? If a child from 40,000 BCE was teleported to 2011 and raised by 2011 parents would their experience be the same as other children born in 2011? How about if we teleported a child from ancient Rome?
Can anyone point me to reading material on human brain evolution over the last 40,000 years?
Likely very little change. We ran up against an upper limit for brain developement when it wouldn't fit out of a female pelvis that still enabled efficient locomotion. Childbirth remains one of the most dangerous things you can do. Only in the last several dacades has this limit been lifted and then only for the rich. Not enough time to shift the genepool noticably.
This area is rife with highly speculative theories. A grain of salt is highly recommended.
Re: Brain evolution last 40,000 years
I think there would only be a slight change in the size of a brain case but the brain the same would be very similar in its way of thought processes and involuntary commands, like the basics drive to reproduce, survival etc.
Things only started happening (for the better some say) when we as a species branched off from Chimpanzees, in my opinion mankind has evolved to quickly mentally but physically we cannot keep up you onlyy have to look at modern society to see the evidence there.
I hate to sound negative but i think we as a species are pretty much doomed i would say in another 1000 years or so we will cease to exist as a species and it will be the species itself (as in us) that will be responsible for that destruction, that's if Mother earth can ride out another 1000 yrs of abuse dished out by mankind, that i highly doubt.
Modern man fails to live as a social unit, mankind has made life far to complex and our bodies and minds simply cannot keep up the evidence is everywhere you look, we have moved away from very tight social units that were the key to our survival as early Hominids, in this day and age it is no longer required.
My theory is if you were to "teleport" as you say an individual from 40.000 yrs back in time to the present day that individual simply wouldn't cope I don't think it would adapt to well, but if you were to pluck one from the present day and drop him/ her back 40.000 yrs I think modern man being highly adaptable would do ok as the hardwired drive for survival would soon kick in very quickly in its new environment.
It's interesting to think like how you are thinking "greatteamwork" I do it all the time its good fun, but here's one for ya this is something i think about quite regularly actually.
.......... How do you think Modern man would go if the entire world suddenly had a complete social and economic collapse? it is now a dog eat dog sort of environment and those that have accumulated massive wealth means absolutely nothing at all, individuals of High social status were nobodies, of course the outcome of the survival of the individual would be up to the individual's genetic background this would be a very important factor.
The girly armed pigeon chested weakling with the big bank account would be doomed, the fat sweaty parasites of the world like Australian mining magnate Clive Palmer would die within 10 to 15 minutes as it would be totally useless and incapable of catching and killing its prey as a means of survival, of course the elderly, the sick, and the weak would die off very quickly, Australian Politicians would be completely doomed because they would no longer get their weekly pay rises as money now is good for nothing but kindling for a campfire.
Murder is now no longer against the law, there is chaos everywhere you turn, how do you think you as an individual would go? what race would rain supreme? the Caucasoid, mongoloid, negroid? what body types would have the advantage? ectomorphic, mesomorphic, endomorphic etc as all these genetic attributes have to be taken into consideration of course.
I really don't want to sound like some sort of nutcase member of a doomsday cult or anything but lets be realistic the above mentioned could easily happen probably not in our lifetime but it can and has happened in the past whats to say it couldn't happen again?
So ........... how do you honestly think you would go? I know with my level of fitness, survival skills i have accumulated over my lifetime and my mesomorphic build i should do ok, what about you?
Usually i do not entertain the feeding of the Trolls but I really cannot help myself when it comes to misinformed creationist peanuts like yourself.
What a completely and utterly ridiculous statement "the earth is only 6000 years of age" a statement like that only strengthens my belief you are indeed a troll with the IQ of a house brick and probably the personality to match.
"if you spent as much time being smart as you do being a moron" this makes me a smart moron right? oxymoron.
I think deep down you are embarrassed that creationists (like yourself) have been proven completely wrong with modern Science although we are never going to hear them words "i was wrong" come from an individual such as yourself are we?
If you took the time to read and keep up to speed there is a little commonly used process used to date organic material called carbon dating it is not 100% accurate but does however give a ballpark figure when it comes to roughly dating an object and i can assure you some items have been carbon dated well beyond 6000 yrs trust me.
I am probably going to be banned by what i will address in this post and that is that taboo subject of religion, if that is the case then so be it feel free to ban me as this forum is only 1 of at least 30 odd forums i am joined up with covering a broad spectrum of interests and if i am to be banned for speaking my mind and MY beliefs then go ahead.
Now ..... darwinsmom you are obviously an American by the way you spell Mum as in Mom, you are male and around (going by your post) between 22-30 yo i worked that out by your abbreviations and mannerisms , you work for minimum wage flippin burgers as you Americans put it, if you are older then this then i am afraid you have real problems and i suggest you address them directly and seek some sort of counseling.
Bring me the evidence darwinsmom where Science proves the earth is only 6000 yo and i do not accept pseudoscience or any "christian" associated guff, i want the facts, cold hard Scientific facts that are only produced by modern Science.
Just a thought .... maybe you have picked this thread being a Christian and you are actually on the brink of becoming a turncoat against your own religion and you are infact in here to actually learn the "facts" about evolution? you have awoken to the fact that their actually IS NOT a higher form of life that created this wonderful world we live in but a series of complex processes.
Also darwinsmom lets not forget DNA another embarrassing blow to creationism you cant honestly sit there and tell me that when a forensic investigator retrieves DNA evidence from the scene of a homicide and that DNA is processed and he or she is in the DNA database they are then cross referenced and they nail an individual out of literally tens of millions of people that DNA is a flawed Scientific process? just a lucky Guess eh?
What about the dating and very obvious structural characteristics of early hominid skulls its obvious to even the laymen that the similarity between skulls recovered by Anthropologists that those skulls are obviously from our early ancestors depending on how far back you wish to go in evolution surly even a sub-intellect like you can see that?
I will touch very quickly on Molecular Biology now wasen't that a cruel blow to Christianity the invention of the SEM (scanning electron microscope) i guess all them wonderful organisms seen on the monitor are all a figment of ones imagination right? anyway im not going to go right into it as i see it as unproductive with a person like yourself you know what i am getting at.
Now ...... religion, how about you bring ME Christian evidence that god actually exists? and i don't mean a picture of him burnt into a piece of toast on Ebay because i simply won't accept it
I would say you were spoon fed a steady diet of religion right throughout your childhood so you really cant help it, people such as yourself i actually feel sorry for as you were robbed of the privilege of being able to think for yourself, you really need to get out more and start thinking outside the box.
Do a bit of research and have a look at the Ancient Egyptians book of the dead and bear in mind that this civilization is roughly 4000 yrs old, anyway have a look at the "book of the dead" this was all put down by the Egyptian scribes it's an interesting read although the Egyptians worshiped many many deities i still see them as the most intelligent civilization man has ever seen.
Getting back to the "book of the dead" have a good look at it and see if you can notice the similarity between some of the texts in there and compare that with the ten commandments then look at the time frame of when the "book of the dead" was scribed then look at when the Bible was written who copied who?
I think there is about 12 books by memory plagiarism is all it is and in some cases it is nearly copied word for word not that I am saying everything in the bible is a pack of lies only the writing is, the pictures are real
Getting back to evolution again just briefly as I have a lot to do tonight, we all know (well the educated public do) that evolution is a long and winded process but even someone like you darwinsmommy can see examples of evolution if you are observant enough even the most simplest of things as in the aging process that's a real simple process you yourself can witness that my friend is evolution.
Having said that do yourself a favor and grab a copy of Charles Darwin "The origin of the species" also one of his other books "The voyage of the Beagle 1839" Charles Darwin really was a brilliant man that paved the way really to what we know as modern Biology today the subject you obviously know zip about.
I suggest darwinsmommy you remove yourself from the fiction section and get with the cold hard undeniable facts and that is I hate to tell you there is no God he was invented by someone who is afraid of the dark.
I must add before I go that I mean no disrespect whatsoever to those that actually are believers as that is your choice just the same as it is my choice to believe in the wonderful world of Science, and you darwinsmommy DO NOT come back until you have redeemed yourself ya peanut
God bless.

Army Aviation Hall of Fame 2012 Induction - Nashville, TN
Lieutenant General John Mark Curran
Lieutenant General Mark Curran distinguished himself and Army Aviation by exceptionally meritorious service to the United States Army, through over 33 years of service as a gifted leader and warrior.
Commanding at all levels, he served as an instructor pilot and branch chief of the Aero Scout Branch, and played a key staff role in the formulation of the Aviation Branch and its inaugural officer basic and advanced courses. While commanding 3rd Bn., 101st Avn. Regt., 101st Abn. Div. during Operation Desert Shield and Storm, the battalion attacked and assisted in the capture of two Iraqi infantry battalions. He later served in leadership positions for Operation Joint Endeavor in Hungary and Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Operation Joint Guard and Task Force Eagle in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
His leadership and experience were recognized by the Army leadership in his selection as the first Deputy Commanding General-Futures for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Ft. Monroe, Virginia, and director of the Army Capabilities Integration Center. He was responsible for bringing concepts and requirements together into meaningful warfighting strategies for the future of the Army. He oversaw the transformation of the Army's combat formations into the modular, joint enabled, full spectrum force. These new formations performed superbly during combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, validating the design work he empowered.
He also served as the Army Aviation Branch Chief, and commander of the U.S. Army Aviation Center and School at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. Under his leadership, a dynamic new program was initiated, Flight School XXI, which resulted in aviators graduating flight school with more proficiency in flying tasks and trained to a higher standard. This was the first effort to modernize flight school since the Vietnam War. His vision and vast aviation experience enabled the transformation of Army Aviation during a time of war.
Throughout his work in changing the Army and Army Aviation, he maintained a focus on Aviation Soldiers and their families. These changes are his legacy. His leadership and drive for excellence have been documented by numerous awards, decorations, and badges that he earned throughout his distinguished career. His contributions to Army Aviation and its future will shape Army Aviation dominance for decades to come.

Today, the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) released the results of its "2014 AFP Risk Survey," sponsored by Oliver Wyman. The survey of 554 AFP members revealed that although organizations expect the global business environment to remain challenging this year, finance executives are now more focused on internal issues than on the macroeconomic climate.
The external environment continues to cause concern: Forty-five percent of respondents said their company is exposed to more earnings uncertainty today than it experienced three years ago, and only 16 percent said they're now operating with less uncertainty than in 2010. The causes vary. Just over a quarter of respondents (26 percent) cited financial factors such as credit, liquidity, interest rate, and currency risks as the primary driver of their earnings uncertainty. Almost as many (23 percent) cited business/operational risks (e.g., supply-chain disruptions, litigation, IT), and another quarter selected external factors such as regulatory and country risks. Only 19 percent reported that macroeconomic factors, such as GDP growth and inflation, are the key driver of their earnings uncertainty.
To manage their financials amid these uncertainties, companies need to accurately forecast their myriad risks—but that's easier said than done. For 35 percent of the companies represented in the AFP survey, forecasting risks is more difficult today than it was three years ago; risk forecasts are easier today for only 23 percent of respondents. Almost a third of finance executives said that capturing relevant data from external sources causes forecasting challenges, but many more said it's challenging to capture relevant data from within the company. (See Figure 1.)
For some companies, the problems start with a siloed approach to financial planning and analysis (FP&A). Less than half of survey respondents (48 percent) said their FP&A team employs risk analysis on a regular basis; 29 percent said FP&A staff use risk analysis occasionally. The vast majority of FP&A teams that use risk analysis undertake scenario planning (69 percent of all respondents), sensitivity analysis (64 percent), and net present value (NPV—61 percent). Lower proportions use other analytical methods such as risk-adjusted cost of capital, value at risk (VaR), and Monte Carlo simulations (see Figure 2). More than a third of respondents think their strategic planning activities would benefit from more risk-adjusted analysis.
Only one in five (21 percent) reported a high degree of collaboration between their FP&A and risk management teams, while slightly more than half (53 percent) reported a moderate level of collaboration. Sixty-one percent of these respondents said that improving coordination between the FP&A and risk management functions leads to better forecasting because it improves the quality of finance and risk inputs from business units companywide. Fifty-seven percent said bringing the functions together improves the consistency of business and market assumptions, and for 56 percent it improves the consistency of data used for risk and FP&A analysis.
Perhaps that's why almost two-thirds of organizations have responded to current and emerging business risks by increasing their focus on risk culture and risk awareness. Other responses include growing the company's product lines (58 percent of respondents), expanding geographically (48 percent), increasing capital expenditures (46 percent), hiring external resources (44 percent), and accelerating merger and acquisition (M&A) activity. (See Figure 3.)

FeatureC++ is a C++ language extension that supports Feature-Oriented Programming (FOP). FOP studies feature modularity in program families. The idea of FOP is to build software by composing features. Features are basic building blocks that satisfy intuitive user-formulated requirements on the software system. Features refine other features incrementally. This step-wise refinement leads to a layered stack of features. Mixin Layers are one appropriate technique for implementing features.
The GNU Modula-2 compiler is one of a number of front end languages to GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection). As such, it has been designed to coexist with other GCC languages. For example, it can be used in mixed language projects and it can catch C++ exceptions and throw exceptions which can be caught by C++. Users can also exploit conditional compilation and full gcc backend optimization and architecture coverage. GNU Modula-2 can produce position independent code and can easily produce shared libraries from modules. The compiler provides a swig interface file generator option, which allows scripting languages such as Python to import modules written in Modula-2 and also catch exceptions thrown by Modula-2. The compiler translates PIM2, PIM3, PIM4, and ISO dialects of Modula-2.
Gcmc is a front-end language for generating G-code, SVG, and DXF for CNC mills, lathes, laser cutters, and other numerically controlled machines employing G-code, SVG, or DXF. The language is a context-free grammar created to overcome the archaic format of G-code programming, but can be used more generally for many targets. Gcmc aims to be more readable and understandable than G-code and enable programmatic designing. Gcmc makes extensive use of vector mathematics to support the 3D nature of CNC machining. It handles units as millimeters, mils (inch), degrees, and radians and performs automatic conversions where necessary.
The Go Programming Language (Go) is an expressive, concise, clean, and efficient language with concurrency mechanisms that make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines. Its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.
HGL is a compiler/interpreter suite for developing images. It features its own simple but powerful language, Lua integration, output in various formats as well as runtime input handled by plugins, and easy integration into various environments like Web servers or graphical applications. The input is taken from a source file, which has to be compiled for quick and frequent access by the interpreter. An interpreter then runs the compiled files, takes input from custom plugins (if neccessary), and outputs its result via custom plugins.
JCGO (pronounced as "j-c-go") translates (converts) programs written in Java into platform-independent C code that can be compiled (by third-party tools) into highly-optimized native code for the target platform. JCGO is a powerful solution that enables your desktop, server-side, embedded, mobile, and wireless Java applications to take full advantage of the underlying hardware. In addition, JCGO makes your programs, when compiled to native code, as hard to reverse engineer as if they were written in C/C++. The JCGO translator uses some optimization algorithms that allow, together with optimizations performed by a C compiler, the resulting executable code to reach better performance compared with the traditional Java implementations (based on the Just-In-Time technology). The produced executable does not contain nor require a Java Virtual Machine to execute, so its resource requirements are smaller than that required by a typical Java VM. This also simplifies the process of deployment and distribution of an application.
Java Grinder takes Java byte-code from a class file and compiles it into an assembly code text file that can be assembled and run on microcontrollers and CPUs including MSP430, dsPIC, 6502 (Commodore 64), 68000, ARM, and MIPS. A Java API is provided for dealing with SPI, GPIO, Commodore 64 hardware, and more.

Janesville School Board to consider rules for foreign students
JANESVILLE—As Janesville high schools get ready to receive dozens of foreign students, the schools will need rules.
How many students will be allowed? What about participation in sports and other activities?
The competition to be valedictorian is not an issue, because the students will be coming as juniors and seniors and won't be able to accumulate enough rank points for that in two years, said Kim Ehrhardt,�director of curriculum, at a school board committee meeting last month.
But a foreign student would be able to bump the first chair in the orchestra, get cast as a lead in the school musical or be a starter on a sports team, Superintendent Karen Schulte said at the same meeting.
The school board will consider approving a set of rules for foreign students when it meets Tuesday.
The rules cover the traditional foreign-exchange students, who arrive with J-1 visas issued by the State Department. They also cover students with F-1 visas, who are required to pay tuition.
The proposal would change a rule for foreign exchange students, who previously were limited to four per high school, although the board often allowed more.
The proposal would require the director of administrative and human services determine the number of foreign-exchange students.
The school board has not yet set tuition, but it is scheduled to discuss the matter in closed session Tuesday.
While all the F-1 students would pay their own tuition, Schulte said last month that at some point, the district hopes to arrange for scholarships for foreign students who can't afford it.
The proposal, revised from an earlier version, would limit the number of tuition-paying students to 1.5 percent of the district's enrollment, or about 150.
An earlier suggestion was 10 percent of the high school population, or more than 300.
More rules from the proposal:
—�Foreign students would not be eligible for scholarships awarded through the district.
—�Students would be required to understand enough English to allow them to function at school. District officials would make that determination, with the help of tests.
—�Priority for placement would be given to organizations that have established strategic alliances with the district and organizations "with a long-standing commitment for placing students in their country."
—�"No F-1 student may be admitted unless and until an adult resident of the district with parental authority over the student has been established to the satisfaction of the district. The adult supervisor must be financially and otherwise responsible."
The rules do not directly address living arrangements, but Schulte has said students could live with host families or in dormitories. The district has discussed dormitory arrangements with UW-Rock County and with a Chinese businessman who has said he will create a dormitory in a wing of a hotel in South Beloit, Ill.
—�Foreign students would not enjoy privileges that are not accorded to other district students.
—�A regular diploma would be issued if the student completes the requirements. If not, the student could be given an "honorary diploma."
—�The district could arrange with schools in the home countries for the students to receive diplomas both from Janesville and from a home-country school.
—�Students from other Wisconsin school districts applying to attend Janesville high schools through the open-enrollment program would have priority over the foreign students.
One Chinese student is said to be getting ready to join the district in January. More could join her next fall.

The disgraced businessman who is being forced out of ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers after making racist comments is perhaps the last name one would expect the moderator of a panel on diversity to invoke. But Mike Evers of Evers Legal did just that during the panel "Beyond Diversity: Creating Your Department's Culture" at the 14th annual SuperConference.
He mentioned Sterling because the businessman's comments "remind us that work is left to be done to create a true culture of inclusion," and that active steps need to be taken in order to create that culture. The panelists agreed, and shared the best practices used to achieve this goal in their legal departments.
Maria Green, senior vice president, general counsel and secretary at Illinoi Tool Works (ITW) notes that, for ITW, it's not about the process. She cited the business case for diversity, noting that metrics have shown that, when public companies have female board members, the companies tend to perform better. It comes down to diversity of thought, which comes from diversity of backgrounds. Businesses do better, she notes, when they bring people into the equation from different backgrounds.
Martin Montes, manager and assistant general counsel at Exelon noted that, of the 110 lawyers employed by the energy company, 20 percent are attorneys of color and 30 percent are female. The legal department's approach uses "3 A's": awareness, action and assessment. Exelon sets baselines with firms, determining the number of female and minority attorneys, tracking that number from year to year, creating a scorecard for each firm. Furthermore, Exelon wants a diverse group of attorneys working on Exleon matters, and uses its billing system to ensure this. He spoke about the importance of pipelines that do this, noting that Exelon's dedication to diversity comes from the top, as its CEO and head of HR crated programs to increase diversity company-wide.
David L. Rawlinson II, vice president, deputy general counsel & corporate secretary at W.W. Grainger, Inc. mentioned that his department is considering the new meaning of the word diversity, redefining what it means across different areas, thinking of the next steps beyond affirmative action, considering new vectors such as gender diversity, sexual orientation and more. He also noted that Grainger is working to diversify across the board, even going so far as to identify diverse suppliers.

Now what are the chances of them dying almost a year apart and right down the street from each other? Duane was a genius..I didn't know that was him at the end of "Layla".
Now what are the chances of them dying almost a year apart and right down the street from each other? Duane was a genius..I didn't know that was him at the end of "Layla".
I didn't know that either! I gotta listen to it now! Their deaths were weird huh?
I can't recall the circumstances surrounding Duane Allmans death.....anybody wanna help out here ??
What fresh hell is this ? ~ Dorothy Parker
Duane was killed when, while riding his Harley, hit the back of a truck and and skidded quite a way. He died a few hours later of internal injuries.
duane and eric were both somewhat put out by layla and assorted love songs languishing in the charts as they thought they had done real good.
From The Tombstone Tourist - Musicians (first edition):
At the end of October the band took a rare break from touring and recording, and returned to Macon, Georgia. After stopping by the band's "Big House" to offer birthday wishes to Berry's wife, Duane took off on his motorcycle. As Duane traveled west on Hillcrest, a pipe truck driven by Charles Wertz entered the intersection of Hillcrest and Bartlett. To avoid a collision, Duane laid his bike down and skidded 90 feet across the intersection's center line. Hearing the crash, Wertz walked over to the unconscious rider and turned off the still racing engine of the motorcycle. The impact tore the helmet from his head and caused severe liver, chest, and head injuries. Although revived twice, Howard Duane Allman died three hours later, in what is now Middle Georgia Hospital, one month shy of his twenty-fifth birthday.
The following Monday over 300 people attended services in Macon's Memorial Chapel. With Duane's guitar case placed in front of the flower-adorned casket, the band took their places, and Gregg sang out the old blues classic The Sky is Crying. Making it clear that the band's tribute lay in the music, they continued with Stormy Monday, In Memory of Elizabeth Reed, and Statesboro Blues.
The ABB immediately went back on the road, later adding Chuck Leavell on keyboards. Berry also began pulling out of the grief which enveloped him following Duane's death. Taking an active role in the recording of the Brothers and Sisters album, Barry was becoming the unofficial leader and visionary of the band. Creatively, the band was at their peak.
On a Saturday afternoon, almost one year later to the day and three blocks from Duane's accident, Berry failed to make the curve on Napier Avenue near Inverness Street, striking the left side of a city bus. Bleeding and visibly shaken, he refused medical treatment. An hour later friends carried him back to the same hospital. He died moments later of head injuries and internal bleeding.
Due to legal and financial disputes, Duane's remains were still in cold storage, awaiting final instructions from family members. It wasn't until after Berry's death that they were buried side-by-side, with matching tombstones, in the Civil War section of an historic Macon cemetery. With a guitar etched in marble, Duane Allman's tomb reads:
Duane Allman
Nov. 20, 1946
Oct. 29, 1971
I love being alive and I will be the best man
I possibly can. I will take love wherever
I find it and offer it to everyone who will
take it...seek knowledge from those wiser
and teach those who wish to learn from me.
Buried on the right with a matching bass etched into the stone, Berry Oakley's monument reads:
Our Brother B.O.
Raymond Berry Oakley, III
Born in Chicago: Apr. 4, 1948
Set free: Nov. 11, 1972
"Help thy brothers boat across
and, lo! Thine own has reached the shore!"
These guys were the greatest. Their mom's house was directly behind my grandmothers house. We use to sit outside in the summer and listen to them play. For years it was thought that Duane hit a truck carrying peaches, which the Album "Eat A Peach" came from.
They will forever be missed!!
The cemetary they are in is so peaceful and pretty...I especially like the spot where they are. That's down in my neck of the woods, y'all.
No conspiracies here, but still great musicians that "burned out instead of fading away" - wondering if there were any fans out there besides me. The Allman Brothers site Hittin the Note is good, but full of waaayyy too old groupies that really don't know much except that they were cute and rebelious - these were deep guys with deep wells of talent, anyone agree? I am particularly transfixed with the fact that they both died on motorcycles, within blocks of each other in the same city less than 2 years apart..... live on Sweet Melissa....., walking the paths of Rose Hill, A
FYI: Duane Allman's only child is named Galadrielle from Lord of the Rings. I can listen to Live at Fillmore East for hours andhear things I never heard before. If you listen close enough (and loud enough) you can hear him addressing the audience - my favorite is: "here's an old Elmore James tune we'd like to play, called I Must've Did Somebody Wrong - I wonder who...." this was incidentally around the same time he remarked in a radio interview - "I got rid of my old lady, my kid - no old ladies, no kids - just guitars" (I never said he was a super sweet guy), just a genious, taken too soon, but aren't they all.....

Also, there is an Allman Brothers museum in the house that is known as the Big House - ever been there, Darienne?
I keep remembering things - the album "Eat a Peach" was named after a quote Duane gave in a radio interview shortly before his death - he was asked how he was helping the revolution he said: "there is no revolution, only evolution, so every time I am in Georgia the first thing I do is eat a peach for peace", Gregg always thought he was talking about the female variety - you know (to quote Ronnie VanZant) "I love those Georgia Peaches......"

And god don't get me started on the ABB society members who hang at the grave. Jesus they give you major stink eye as if you're not a member of their secret society when in fact they give unemployeed Deadheads a good name. But I digress.
Yes it is worth the trip down to Macon for TBH, the graves, and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. The museum is as good if not better than the Marley house in Kingston. Another good side trip is to Athens, GA home of the B52s, REM, and others. Great college town.
Who are the ABB Society?
Seriously, I understand getting sick about certain factions of the ABB society - they care n.o.t.h.i.ng... about the music, the talent, the tragedy of losing brothers and friends - wanna really get sick - go here:
and if you will click on the pictures, at the bottom are posts and comments from freaks that are infatuated with Gregg and his.. uhhh, to put it nicely (and coming from a family with more than one brother over 50 that truely was a "hippie -stoner- rocker" that saw the Brothers more than once in concert) I can't say anything nice, and to borrow a quote - : " if you don't have anyting nice to say, come sit next to me".... all I can say is eeewwww, Gregg would only laugh and I don't even want to know how amused Duane would be.... just look and you will see what I mean... I cannot say anymore without being unnecessarily mean, which is not the way I was raised - to love real southern rock and roll and to bask in the peace it brings me - ahhh the simplicity of it all
this is an example of what I mean - is the "warm in here" comment needed or just gross?
Real ABB fans must reads and road trips:
Skydog: by Randy Poe with forward by Billy Gibbons (yes, that Billy Gibbons)
Midnight Riders: The Story of the Allman Brothers Band, By Scott Freeman
The Wanee Festival and Bonnaroo
Neither of the latter are hard to find and you can find tickets at www.hittintheweb.com to the Beacon Theater concerts of the ABB most of the time featuring Gregg, Dickey, Butch and Jai, not to mention Warren Hayes of Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks (the reincarnation of DA, in my opinion, and the nephew of Butch Trucks) and Derek's wife Susan Tedeschi, if you are ever going to spend money on any concert and trust me, you could travel 300 miles, and gas and expenses plus the tickets wouldn't cost you as much as 2 tickets to a modernized version of a Rolling Stones "show" these days - it would be the best money you would spend all year. I know this thread is suppossed to be about dead musicians, but I think it is a tribute to Duane and Berry that there be many a pilgrimage to see what they "hath borne to us": a siliquoy to Southern Rock in it's most pure form...

Hey uwish, just a quick correction - Dickey Betts was thrown out of the band years ago. And while Hayes kicks ass, I won't see them after what they did to Betts.
I know what you are thinking and I understand, I thought the same thing - which is why I checked it out when Dickey was ousted. Yes, Betts was fired, and there is alot to be said about what a butthead Gregg Allman can be - but he does appear with them occasionally and only at the festivals I mentioned and at an Atlanta's Peidmont Park gig that also featured The Dave Matthews Band. I try hard not to repeat things I have not made sure are true, and while I will admit I am wrong when I am, go to www.hittintheweb.com for verification of what I said from Gregg himself. When the band was just starting out and moved from Jacksonville to Macon at the behest of Phil Waldon (also RIP) whose Capricorn Records was headquartered there, they used to play free concerts in 1969 in the park to find an audience. While there may be disagreements, there is also a brotherhood that is sadly tied together by tragedy and death, a suspended animation type of thing - check it out, I think you will agree. I have met Warren Hayes and he is an all around pretty sound fellow and I don't think he would be doing what he is doing if he did not know and understand the situation. Dickey has no hard feelings and is still doing his thing the way he wants to. He is pretty hard headed too, so without Duane around to remind them that their "religion", their music, was about brotherhood and peace (ie: referee) it is only natural (and expected by all that know them) that Gregg and Dickey would eventually part ways.

I wish (hence the name uwish yes, I can laugh at myself!!) I had seen all that already, I am not old enough - barely - to have seen all I wish I could have. My older brother has a weak heart and is from the SC area, he talks often of going to the hills of Macon and the Rose Hill area, where he was lucky enough to be raised and just slip away. While I know that sounds sad, death is what this group is about, right? I will be in the area this summer and will take your advice, and go to TBH and Athens.
I have such wonderful memories of Duane, Greg, and the great Mr. Betts.
A wonderful spring evening, under a oak tree in Macon. The three of them sitting in their relatives back yard, playing without all the electrical stuff. Just guitars, and voices.
If you have the money, stay at least one night upstairs in the main house of the 1842 Guest House - it is haunted! It is also right next door to the old ABB house that they first occupied.
And when I mean haunted, I mean your doors open, your faucets turn on by themselves, and your wallet and keys get moved. Scared me at first but I got used to it.
Is that the house where Linda and Berry lived above Butch Trucks? Who do you think haunts it? I will definetly check it out, do you know if I can make reservations now, or if it is a drop in and get lucky kind of thing? They are also opening up the Lizzie Borden house as a Bed & Breakfast. You can stay in the room she "gave her father 40 whacks" in for extra $$ - I'm not sure about that one, might check it out though.

(hopefully, this empties the duplicate thread I accidently posted whenI origianally logged on.)
This is not that far from me (Augusta, GA), and I happen to be going to Macon to our corporate office tomorrow so I think I'll nose around a little bit, maybe see if I can take some pics at the grave.
I had a friend tell me that taking pictures of a grave is morbid, but I snapped like hell when we were at Forest Lawn and Hollywood forever....I'm not sure why but I don't find it morbid or disrespectful....maybe I am just sick, which might be why I'm here??? Anyways, if I do get some shots, will share with anyone who's interested.
I didn't make it down for that trip, but will be going again pretty soon...if you'll PM and REMIND ME so I don't forget, I'll be glad to let you (or anyone else who wants them--just PM me) know when I have pics!!
It's a cool place they are buried at. Macon sure had some great musical talent spring from there....
high times,many years ago,had a map showing where psilociben[sp?but you know what i mean] and there was an island around macon.
Never heard about the museum. Thanks
I may look calm. But in my head, I've killed you three times.
They just reran the Intervention "Chuckie" on A&E the other night. Chuckie is the son of Chuck Negron and Julia Densmore (who were both addicted when he was born and thus, he was born heroin addicted). In between Densmore and Negron, Juila had Berry Oakley Jr. and he is a big participant in the episode. He looks just like his father.
Anyone know anything about Julia Densmore? There's not much out there.
Scott: it is time to do a Duane/Berry post on the page. I would be interested to see your spin on the while thing. Also, with your super human like ability to track people down, somebody needs to find Dixie. She would have the most interesting perspective on the last few months of DA's life. You can contact Kirk and Kristen West at The Big House website and Randy Poe is the best. You can also contact him via www.allmanbrothers.com through the forum pages. I have his personal email address, but I am not sure I can give it out to the general public, I will give it to you though, as I am sure Randy would take all the help he can get squashing innuendo and rumors spread by people who "know", because they read the Enquirer. You can contact me if you are ever interested. Thanks.. uwish
I guess the 1999 Rolling Stone article linked on the Berry Oakley myspace was incorrect?
and bassist Berry Oakley, Jr., 26, who was born after the death of his father, the Allmans' bass player, in another motorcycle accident a year later.

Here is a link to the book and quote: ("don't shoot the messenger, for I meant no harm")http://www.amazon.com/gp/sitbv3/read...rqmlp7IWARhtw=
I could never see what Cher saw in Greg. I loved ABB music but they sure are not anything to look at. I didn't know it was motorcycles that they both died on..thanks for the grat post.

First of all, call your carrier and ask nicely, if your contract has expired, they'll hopefully unlock your phone for you.
If you tell your carrier you'll be travelling and wish to use
a SIM card from another country to save on roaming fees, they may also unlock your phone for you.
If you're on pay monthly, you need to have had your contract for six months before you can unlock a device. If you're on pay as you go or SIM only, you can unlock your phone as soon as you get it, as long as it's locked to EE, Orange or T-Mobile.
You can also unlock screen code and sim-card of Huawei MediaPad mobile phone. But you need to do first unlock code for it's operating system.
If the unlocking code is not working for Huawei MediaPad, you need to enter your phone IMEI number to the box to get new one.
All codes are generated by us.

Walker: New sources of revenue need to pay for I-90/39, other projects
JANESVILLE—Gov. Scott Walker acknowledged Tuesday that a funding shortfall could delay the expansion of Interstate 90/39, but he's confidant his next budget will include new ways to pay for road improvements and keep the project on schedule.
Two weeks ago, Department of Transportation Secretary Mark Gottlieb said the state faces a transportation budget shortfall of between $600 million and $700 million for the next biennium, which runs July 1, 2015, to June 30, 2017.
Gottlieb said it's "very plausible" that the expansion of Interstate 90/39 in Rock and Dane counties would be delayed if funding isn't shored up in the state's next budget.
Walker acknowledged the possibility Tuesday during a break at a meeting of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.'s board of directors at Grainger in Janesville.
The governor said the $950 million project is still a top priority.
"From an infrastructure standpoint, particularly so," Walker said. "When we think about manufacturing—particularly in this corridor but all across the state—a good piece of that is proximity to things like an Interstate system and proximity to a system that's wide enough to handle the capacity needs.
"Whether it's for tourism, whether it's for manufacturing or whether it's for agriculture, there are a lot of elements that tie into that."
The state's Transportation Projects Commission approved the I-90/39 project in 2010. Construction is scheduled to start in 2015 and end in 2019.
The project would expand the Interstate from four to six lanes from the Illinois state line to Madison and from four to eight lanes through Janesville.
As of February, the state had spent more than $41 million on the project, with about 78 percent for design work. In 2015, 2016 and 2017—part of which would be funded by the state's next budget—the state plans to spend $443 million on I-90/39.
The state also gets money from the federal government that it spreads among state projects. The federal funding bill, however, expires at the end of September, and the likelihood of a reauthorization bill is uncertain.
The state's main source of transportation revenue—gas taxes—has been declining as vehicles become more fuel-efficient and people drive less.
Walker said new revenue ideas likely will be part of his next budget, but they will be balanced by tax cuts.
He wasn't specific on what new revenue streams would be proposed to avoid delays to the I-90/39 project and others.
"For us in the next budget, part of what Secretary Gottlieb is working on is reaching out to stakeholders and working with others across the country as to what sort of options there are because, in the long term, we can't sustain almost exclusively on the gas tax," said Walker, who faces re-election this fall.
"Right now, we're one of the few states that has vehicle registration fees and the gas tax, and whether we have to shift to a sales tax or a hybrid or something in that regard, we'd probably do that in this next budget as part of overall tax reform where income and property taxes go down."
Last year, Walker established a commission to review major highway projects and report back to the Legislature by January 2016 on projects appropriate for removal from the list.
In a lengthy report, the commission recommended a variety of ways to raise revenue, including a gas tax hike, charging drivers at registration based on how much they drove the previous year, increasing registration fees for larger vehicles and boosting driver's license fees.
Walker said his administration will look at a variety of new revenue sources.
Fees based on miles driven will not likely be one of them, he said.
"The challenge with that … is that it's just a lot more cumbersome for the average tax payer," Walker said. "I get why logically they thought it made sense: It says if you use it, you pay for it.
"There's gotta be an alternative way of doing it that doesn't require people to prove how many miles they've driven in some sort of audit."
Walker said Gottlieb and his department are traversing the state for a series of town hall meetings to gather information about the future of transportation in Wisconsin.
Part of that is a discussion about funding.
"We're looking at different ways of funding transportation in the future, and that would be part of an overall tax reform so that for the everyday taxpayer, their overall burden at worst would be the same and ideally would go down a little bit," Walker said.
"What it would do is change how we fund transportation because long term—with more and more vehicles getting better gas mileage—doing it on a gas tax per gallon really isn't sustainable."

Would you drive without a license?
Perhaps you read the story in Wednesday's Gazette. Gannett Wisconsin Media reported that, last year, more than 74,000 people were convicted in Wisconsin of driving with suspended licenses and 14,000 were convicted of driving with revoked licenses.
That's almost 90,000 people. If that's the number of those convicted, imagine how many are really out there that you're at risk of running into.
I know a guy who once did this when he was young and immature. He'd been busted for drunken driving, but that didn't stop him from getting behind the wheel. He gambled that no law officer would again pull him over before he got his license back, and as far as I know, he won that bet.
A town of Menasha police spokesman told Gannett reporter Andy Thompson that people are only caught for driving without licenses if they're involved in crashes or commit traffic violations. Licenses are suspended for various reasons, including failure to pay fines, drunken-driving convictions and driving with canceled insurance.
Driving with a suspended license isn't a criminal offense but could cost you $124. Driving after license revocation—more likely with habitual offenders—can lead to jail time and fines up to $2,500.
I'm sure some people with suspended or revoked licenses keep driving because they have no other reasonable way to reach work and provide for their families. The number of arrests and apparent prevalence of this habit, however, should alarm those with good driving records.
What do you think? Should legislators beef up state laws to make people think twice about taking these risks?

PySite is not a CMS in the traditional sense. Rather, you manage the contents of a Web site via a file manager interface, which gives you access to all settings (pages, styles, plugins, etc.). Compose your pages with Jinja templates, and edit your code comfortably with syntax highlighting in the ACE editor. You may write your stylesheets in Sass and let the integrated compiler write CSS files. PySite also contains a facility to manage virtual mailboxes, in case you maintain your own SMTP and IMAP server, e.g. with Postfix and Dovecot.
Template Data Interface (TDI, /ʹtedɪ/) is a markup templating system written in Python with (optional but recommended) speedup code written in C. Unlike most templating systems, TDI does not invent its own language to provide functionality. Instead, you simply mark the nodes you want to manipulate within the template document. The template is parsed, and the marked nodes are presented to your Python code, where they can be modified in any way you want.
ogEditor is a Web-based WYSIWYG HTML editor with a built-in file manager. It features a Tag Selector which lets you view and edit a tag's attributes and internal styles while working in the Design view of an HTML page. Tag Selector displays the entire chain of tags which apply to the current selection or to the cursor position. When any of the tags is selected, its corresponding element will be highlighted in the Design view, and the selected element's attributes and internal styles are also displayed and can be edited in the Property editor window.
