Slate crunches the numbers on everyone's favorite Portland story from the past week:
The EPA doesn't appear to have a limit for urine in drinking water, but it does limit nitrates in drinking water to 10,000 ppb, and urine does contain a lot of nitrogen, so let's use that as a proxy.
How many times would that teenager have to pee in a Portland reservoir to produce a urine concentration approaching the EPA's limit for nitrates in drinking water? About 3,333 times.
But of course urine is 95 percent water. (If you're ever trapped in rubble after a natural disaster, go ahead and drink it.) Only about 2 percent of urine is nitrogen-rich urea. That means he'd have to urinate 166,666 times for the concentration of urea to approach that of the EPA's limit for nitrates in drinking water.
Since most animals, including idiot teenaged show-offs, take about 21 seconds to urinate, that means he'd have to urinate constantly for 3,500,000 seconds, or about 40 days. Hopefully, he'd have friends constantly supplying him with tasty Portland microbrews.
Excuse me, but I have to go …
We have snipers all around the stadium, just in case something were to happen. Like I said, do whatever it is you normally do. But approach the President, and we go for the kill shot. Are we clear?A secret service agent • Warning Mr. Met—the mascot of the New York Mets—not to get close to President Clinton during a 1997 baseball game in which Clinton spoke. AJ Mass, the man inside the suit at the time, wrote about this experience in a new book, because who wouldn't?
Portland administrators will flush 38 million gallons of water from Mt. Tabor Reservoir 5 after a 19-year-old man urinated in the city's drinking supply.
"Even though there is very minimal public health risk, the bottom line is that our commitment is to serve water that's clean, cold and constant," said Water Bureau administrator David Shaff. "That doesn't include pee. Not from people, at least."

This is a disingenuous position to take.
A choice between running content in a timely manner, and NOT running content in a timely manner is not really a choice — technically you are choosing between doing something and not doing something, but that's not the same qualitative choice as doing something with people you know and doing something with strangers.
The first instance- doing something in a limited amount of time vs. needing over an hour to an hour and a half just to find a group results in a game that is far more exclusionary than choosing simply choosing between friends and strangers.
While I agree that LFG/LFR is not soley responsible for the dissolution of community, it's not helping the issue. That being said, I also think those two things (LFG/LFR) are essential to the longevity of the game, especially as population dwindles due to age and a greater spread of MMO options.
As Nethie's non-statement says, they need to do both. I don't think they are right now though, nor do I see it as a particular priority for them — they tried with guild perks and darkmoon, but that doesn't seem to be sticking. Guild perks turned into a opportunistic nightmare, and Darkmoon gets old FAST.
Things that could help (in my opinion...which is just that, opinion, so take with grains of salt):
1) as others have said, the system could prioritize grouping with same-server folks
2) cross-realm guilds, this is kinda happening allready with off-game sites cropping up
3) lift the real-id requirement for crossrealm friends
4) lift the faction communication barrier. let real faction rivalry flourish on a given server

I told him that when I first heard about the movie, that I had this thought in my head that he Nathan was kidnapped at birth by who he thinks are his parents. After watching the trailers, TV spots, and clilps for Abduction, the thriller is actually much bigger than all of that. I asked Denzel Whitaker about his reaction to the story when he first read it.
When I asked what was next for him, the 21-year-old actor revealed that he has taken an interest in directing.
Despite his heavy involvement in this directorial endeavor, Denzel Whitaker said he doesn't want to act in his directorial debut, although he does have an actor in mind to star in Killing Familiar.
Abduction was released September 23rd, 2011 and stars Taylor Lautner, Lily Collins, Jason Isaacs, Maria Bello, Sigourney Weaver, Alfred Molina, Jake Andolina, Oriah Acima Andrews. The film is directed by John Singleton.

The bed was comfortable and that was the best thing about hotel I would have like to stay in holiday in or something for a cheap price. Maybe once there done it will be better but I would go back there. I was celebrating my birthday and that part was not that great. And they gave us 2 full size beds instead of a queen.

I was appalled at how the little things were overlooked even though the hotel was "being renovated". I stay at Sheraton's often and this hotel was sub-par. Only half the elevators worked, there was a trip hazard into the bathroom, the carpet was old, worn, and dirty, there was paint on the bathroom door, the hot water was painful, The mirror had a crack in it, lamp shades were damaged, the faux leather on the headboard was ripped, there were markings all over the wrinkled dust ruffles, and even though I am a SPG member I didn't get the same free wi-fi I get at any other Sheraton. I would never stay here again solely for their lack of attention to the little things that make a customers experience a good one. ...

This is a valid strategy and as you said, an insane undertaking.
The other option (what Blizz stated they were going to do with the new trees, but aren't quite there yet), is to have your core PvE/PvP talents in each tree, but create choke-points in the trees where you _get_ (not "have") to throw in a few floater points according to your personal style before moving onto the next tier.
The problem with this is most players see it as a penalty with statements like "having to choose something like improved health funnel just to get to tier 3 is annoying" being bandied about.
People have to remember that your spec's raid dps will be normalised based on all the +dps talents. If every talent tree had 31 solid +x% damage to y ability talents, every raider would take them and your tree's mastery/tuning knob would be adjusted to bring you in line with other classes damage output. If however, you have 25 +dps talents in each tree and six floater points (or Fabulous Opportunity Points™) you get to choose some extra bonuses WITHOUT penalising your dps.
The converse is true for PvPers, you choose your ~16 core survivability/control talents and can spend the extra 15 on damage increases to your more bursty abilities, without feeling penalised; because in an ideal world everyone is in the same boat - no one has 31 pure PvE or PvP talents to choose from.
It's not a nerf, it's an opportunity. We just need more floater points and more choices to spend them on.

Mild Punishment for Germany's Dumbest Bank RobberStrange News — By Dave on 2011/02/02 6:45 PM
A teenager dubbed "the dumbest bank robber in Germany" was sentenced to two years probation. The 19 year old from Mulfingen Germany, armed with a knife wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, robbed a bank in Röttingen where he made off with 2500 euros.
Initially his heist was successful, it wasn't until he became angered by inaccurate reports of the robbery by police and newspapers that he felt compelled to send them indignant e-mails with his corrections. While his correspondence might have served to clear up the public record of his robbery, they also led cops right to his doorstep.
After reading news stories about his heist, the 19 year old David. S., wrote to the police and two newspapers to mock them for getting his age, height, mode of escape and accent wrong. He sent the e-mails from email@example.com which translates to email@example.com. He was apprehended within a few hours of sending the e-mails.

"Standards of medical care in diabetes. V. Diabetes care." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
This guideline updates a previous version: Standards of medical care in diabetes. V. Diabetes care. Diabetes Care 2012 Jan;35(Suppl 1):S16-28.
For the current revision of this position statement, committee members systematically searched Medline for human studies related to each subsection and published since 1 January 2011.
Not stated
American Diabetes Association's Evidence Grading System for Clinical Practice Recommendations
Clear evidence from well-conducted, generalizable randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that are adequately powered, including:
Compelling nonexperimental evidence (i.e., "all or none" rule developed by the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford)
Supportive evidence from well-conducted RCTs that are adequately powered, including:
Supportive evidence from well-conducted cohort studies, including:
Supportive evidence from a well-conducted case-control study
Supportive evidence from poorly controlled or uncontrolled studies, including:
Conflicting evidence with the weight of evidence supporting the recommendation
Expert consensus or clinical experience
A grading system (see the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Evidence" field), developed by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and modeled after existing methods, was utilized to clarify and codify the evidence that forms the basis for the recommendations.
Recommendations (bulleted at the beginning of each subsection and also listed in the "Executive Summary: Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes 2013" [see the "Availability of Companion Documents" field]) were revised based on new evidence or, in some cases, to clarify the prior recommendation or match the strength of the wording to the strength of the evidence. A table linking the changes in recommendations to new evidence can be reviewed at http://professional.diabetes.org/CPR_Search.aspx .
Feedback from the larger clinical community was valuable for the 2013 revision of the standards.
Recommendations are assigned ratings of A, B, or C, depending on the quality of evidence (see the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Evidence" field). Expert opinion (E) is a separate category for recommendations in which there is as yet no evidence from clinical trials, in which clinical trials may be impractical, or in which there is conflicting evidence. Recommendations with an "A" rating are based on large, well-designed clinical trials or well-done meta-analyses. Generally, these recommendations have the best chance of improving outcomes when applied to the population to which they are appropriate. Recommendations with lower levels of evidence may be equally important but are not as well supported.
The standards of care were reviewed and approved by the Executive Committee of the American Diabetes Association's (ADA's) Board of Directors, which includes health care professionals, scientists, and lay people.
The evidence grading system for clinical practice recommendations (A–C, E) is defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
Initial Evaluation
A complete medical evaluation should be performed to classify the diabetes, detect the presence of diabetes complications, review previous treatment and risk factor control in patients with established diabetes, assist in formulating a management plan, and provide a basis for continuing care. Laboratory tests appropriate to the evaluation of each patient's medical condition should be performed. A focus on the components of comprehensive care (see Table 7 in the original guideline document) will assist the health care team to ensure optimal management of the patient with diabetes.
People with diabetes should receive medical care from a team that may include physicians, nurse practitioners, physician's assistants, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and mental health professionals with expertise and a special interest in diabetes. It is essential in this collaborative and integrated team approach that individuals with diabetes assume an active role in their care.
The management plan should be formulated as a collaborative therapeutic alliance among the patient and family, the physician, and other members of the health care team. A variety of strategies and techniques should be used to provide adequate education and development of problem-solving skills in the various aspects of diabetes management. Implementation of the management plan requires that the goals and treatment plan are individualized and take patient preferences into account. The management plan should recognize diabetes self-management education (DSME) and ongoing diabetes support as an integral component of care. In developing the plan, consideration should be given to the patient's age, school or work schedule and conditions, physical activity, eating patterns, social situation and cultural factors, and presence of complications of diabetes or other medical conditions.
Glycemic Control
Assessment of Glycemic Control
Two primary techniques are available for health providers and patients to assess the effectiveness of the management plan on glycemic control: patient self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) or interstitial glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C).
Glucose Monitoring
Glycemic Goals in Adults
Table. Summary of Glycemic Recommendations for Many Nonpregnant Adults with Diabetes
*Postprandial glucose measurements should be made 1 to 2 hours after the beginning of the meal, generally peak levels in patients with diabetes.
Glycemic Goals in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
Regarding goals for glycemic control for women with GDM, recommendations from the Fifth International Workshop-Conference on Gestational Diabetes are to target maternal capillary glucose concentrations of:
For women with pre-existing type 1 or type 2 diabetes who become pregnant, a recent consensus statement recommended the following as optimal glycemic goals, if they can be achieved without excessive hypoglycemia:
Pharmacologic and Overall Approaches to Treatment
Insulin Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes
Recommended therapy for type 1 diabetes consists of the following components: 1) use of MDI injections (three to four injections per day of basal and prandial insulin) or CSII therapy; 2) matching prandial insulin to carbohydrate intake, premeal blood glucose, and anticipated activity; and 3) for many patients (especially if hypoglycemia is a problem), use of insulin analogs. There are excellent reviews available that guide the initiation and management of insulin therapy to achieve desired glycemic goals.
Because of the increased frequency of other autoimmune diseases in type 1 diabetes, screening for thyroid dysfunction, vitamin B12 deficiency, or celiac disease should be considered based on signs and symptoms. Periodic screening in the absence of symptoms has been recommended, but the effectiveness and optimal frequency are unclear.
Pharmacological Therapy for Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes
For information about currently approved classes of medications for treating hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes, see the ADA-European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) position statement.
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)
General Recommendations
Energy Balance, Overweight, and Obesity
Primary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes
Management of Diabetes
Macronutrients in Diabetes Management
Other Nutrition Recommendations
Achieving nutrition-related goals requires a coordinated team effort that includes the active involvement of the person with prediabetes or diabetes. Because of the complexity of nutrition issues, it is recommended that a registered dietitian who is knowledgeable and skilled in implementing nutrition therapy into diabetes management and education be the team member who provides MNT.
Diabetes Self-management Education and Support
Physical Activity
Psychosocial Assessment and Care
When Treatment Goals Are Not Met
For a variety of reasons, some people with diabetes and their health care providers do not achieve the desired goals of treatment (see the table above). Rethinking the treatment regimen may require assessment of barriers including income, health literacy, diabetes distress, depression, and competing demands, including those related to family responsibilities and dynamics. Other strategies may include culturally appropriate and enhanced DSME and DSMS, co-management with a diabetes team, referral to a medical social worker for assistance with insurance coverage, or change in pharmacological therapy. Initiation of or increase in SMBG, utilization of CGM, frequent contact with the patient, or referral to a mental health professional or physician with special expertise in diabetes may be useful.
Intercurrent Illness
The stress of illness, trauma, and/or surgery frequently aggravates glycemic control and may precipitate diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or nonketotic hyperosmolar state, life-threatening conditions that require immediate medical care to prevent complications and death. Any condition leading to deterioration in glycemic control necessitates more frequent monitoring of blood glucose and (in ketosis-prone patients) urine or blood ketones. Marked hyperglycemia requires temporary adjustment of the treatment program and, if accompanied by ketosis, vomiting, or alteration in the level of consciousness, immediate interaction with the diabetes care team. The patient treated with noninsulin therapies or MNT alone may temporarily require insulin. Adequate fluid and caloric intake must be assured. Infection or dehydration is more likely to necessitate hospitalization of the person with diabetes than the person without diabetes.
The hospitalized patient should be treated by a physician with expertise in the management of diabetes. For further information on management of patients with hyperglycemia in the hospital, see the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) summary of the ADA position statement Standards of medical care in diabetes. IX. Diabetes care in specific settings. For further information on management of DKA or hyperglycemic nonketotic hyperosmolar state, refer to the ADA consensus statement on hyperglycemic crises.
Bariatric Surgery
None provided
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for most recommendations (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
A focus on the components of comprehensive care will assist the health care team to ensure optimal management of the patient with diabetes.
Although numerous interventions to improve adherence to the recommended standards have been implemented, a major barrier to optimal care is a delivery system that too often is fragmented, lacks clinical information capabilities, often duplicates services, and is poorly designed for the coordinated delivery of chronic care. The Chronic Care Model (CCM) has been shown in numerous studies to be an effective framework for improving the quality of diabetes care. The CCM includes six core elements for the provision of optimal care of patients with chronic disease: 1) delivery system design (moving from a reactive to a proactive care delivery system, where planned visits are coordinated through a team-based approach; 2) self-management support; 3) decision support (basing care on evidence-based, effective care guidelines); 4) clinical information systems (using registries that can provide patient-specific and population-based support to the care team); 5) community resources and policies (identifying or developing resources to support healthy lifestyles); and 6) health systems (to create a quality-oriented culture). Redefinition of the roles of the clinic staff and promoting self-management on the part of the patient are fundamental to the successful implementation of the CCM. Collaborative, multidisciplinary teams are best suited to provide such care for people with chronic conditions like diabetes and to facilitate patients' performance of appropriate self-management.
The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) maintains an online resource (www.betterdiabetescare.nih.gov ) to help health care professionals design and implement more effective health care delivery systems for those with diabetes.
Three specific objectives are outlined below.
Objective 1: Optimize Provider and Team Behavior
The care team should prioritize timely and appropriate intensification of lifestyle and/or pharmaceutical therapy of patients who have not achieved beneficial levels of blood pressure, lipid, or glucose control. Strategies such as explicit goal setting with patients; identifying and addressing language, numeracy, or cultural barriers to care; integrating evidence-based guidelines and clinical information tools into the process of care; and incorporating care management teams including nurses, pharmacists, and other providers have each been shown to optimize provider and team behavior and thereby catalyze reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C), blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
Objective 2: Support Patient Behavior Change
Successful diabetes care requires a systematic approach to supporting patients' behavior change efforts, including (a) healthy lifestyle changes (physical activity, healthy eating, nonuse of tobacco, weight management, effective coping); (b) disease self-management (medication taking and management, self-monitoring of glucose and blood pressure when clinically appropriate); and (c) prevention of diabetes complications (self-monitoring of foot health; active participation in screening for eye, foot, and renal complications; immunizations). High-quality diabetes self-management education (DSME) has been shown to improve patient self-management, satisfaction, and glucose control, as has delivery of ongoing diabetes self-management support (DSMS) so that gains achieved during DSME are sustained. National DSME standards call for an integrated approach that includes clinical content and skills and behavioral strategies (goal-setting, problem solving) and addresses emotional concerns in each needed curriculum content area.
Objective 3: Change the System of Care
The most successful practices have an institutional priority for providing high quality of care. Changes that have been shown to increase quality of diabetes care include basing care on evidence-based guidelines, expanding the role of teams and staff, redesigning the processes of care, implementing electronic health record tools, activating and educating patients, and identifying and/or developing and engaging community resources and public policy that support healthy lifestyles. Recent initiatives such as the Patient Centered Medical Home show promise to improve outcomes through coordinated primary care and offer new opportunities for team-based chronic disease care. Alterations in reimbursement that reward the provision of appropriate and high quality care rather than visit-based billing and that can accommodate the need to personalize care goals may provide additional incentives to improve diabetes care.
It is clear that optimal diabetes management requires an organized, systematic approach and involvement of a coordinated team of dedicated health care professionals working in an environment where patient-centered high-quality care is a priority.

AgustaWestland congratulated Acher Aviation for its 50,000th hoist operation
AgustaWestland (Booth No. 1629) congratulated South African operator Acher Aviation for achieving its 50,000th hoist operation on a single helicopter. The milestone occurred in January when an A109K2 light twin operated by Acher for harbor pilot shuttle duties made the lift using a Breeze Eastern HS-20200, 600-pound electric rescue hoist system. The aircraft also has an accumulated total flight time
of more almost 10,000 flight hours and has delivered and recovered– accident and injury-free–nearly 106,000 individuals from ships. Acher Aviation operates the A109K2, an AW109 Power and an AW109 Grand.

Win 7 x64
I'm having the same trouble, blue screen with the cursor and nothing else showing. Thing is, I loaded my recovery CDs and then it goes back to the blue screen and the cursor and then nothing happens and stays like that, the repair window never appears.
I'm half sure the problem could be fixed wit chkdsk /r but I can't get into the cmd prompt.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
See if you can get at them this way: Use Advanced Boot Options to select Repair Your Computer and get to the System Recovery Options. Then select the command prompt. Do the following:
chkdsk /r c:.etc until you get the message that the volume could not be opened for direct access. For any drives that do not give the message:
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems
run chkdsk again as above. In other words, if it says:
Windows has made corrections to the file system
after running the disk check, run the disk check again.
I realize you may only have one disk show up in Windows explorer, but you may have more than one disk through recovery options. This is because the system creates a hidden boot partition (which will be C: in recovery), you may have a recovery partition for your PC that is hidden (which will be D: in recovery), and you will have your primary Windows partition (which may be E: in recovery). A custom PC will likely have at least C: and D: to scan.
If that does not work, please start your own thread and provide the problem and the steps you have taken thus far to resolve it. You will get more help if you start your own thread rather than causing confusion in an old thread.

Song Lyrics have meanings but why are they not always so obvious? Carry on Wayward Son has been a mystery song full of awe that is considered a masterpiece by many but it's meaning still today is rather elusive.
Written when I was barely around in 1976 still today can be listened to from time to time on radio stations around the world. I never ran across it that I recall until I became an avid teenage rock fan of some sort in the mid 80′s.
I remember when I first listened to Kansas with this song in particular I fell in love with their music and style that was so different than anything else I heard, not necessarily better than my other favorites, but just uniquely different; and their lyrics were so poetic. I then wanted to know what they were saying and what they meant… but at the time I had to settle for catching up with their newer music and those for my other band favorites.
These are their Lyrics:
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming', I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Recently I sought out find the meaning, but ran across dead ends though managed to find a few hints. From what I understand, there was an 'official' explanation by Kansas on this in an interview sometime after the song was a hit.
They stated as it goes that it was about Vietnam and the war there as 76' was just a few years after it ended; yet, interpretations for the song continue to be a list long. The lyrics do seem confusing (meaning wise) if it was about Vietnam in some instances, as seductive as they are.
There are 2 important scenes in the Lyrics that are unmistakable… The Wayward son and the flight of Icarus, everything else is left for interpretation. Those 2 events drive the story line as well as do some motives.
To understand how this is used, we need to know some history.
Kansas was under a lot of pressure to make a hit for this album as everything else had fallen short. According to Wiki, Walsh who normally would write songs for Kansas was having writer's block and Kerry Livgren was taking over much of the songwriting for 'Leftoverture', their then fourth album.
This was a chance for Livgren to turn everything around. If he could overcome the pressure, there is a lot of strength that comes from within knowing your Lyrics may reach Millions of people… "If you just get it right". It was up to him to make the difference and he had all the support, marketing expertise from those around him including the Record Company with their producers and PR savvy.
We don't know what went on behind closed doors, but one conversation I imagine may have happened from their PR experts at the time is for them to try to write all-encompassing hit song/s… this is a big deal promotion-ally speaking. Now that is easier said than done, and back then they had to impress the radio stations that in turn got impressed by listeners wanting them to replay that new 'hit' from Kansas. But I believe they knew he could do it.
What I am getting at is that several or more of the explanations are in place here, not just 1; this song was meant to have double/triple meanings! This was done by design. Yes it was Kerry Livgren who made it happen, not the producers, he was a prolific and brilliant writer who could do it… Hotel California was done the same way – no one knows the meaning of it exactly, because there is more than one in my opinion but I haven't looked into it further… I do believe Eagle's lack of any full interpretation has helped it stay among the top songs of all time – but that's a separate story.
There are 3 different explanations I have seen that strike me as would be a genuine intent by Kerry Livgren. The Vietnam War perspective; the religious point of view; and a precarious teenage boy voyager-ism experience. Those together embraces a large portion of audiences that not 1 explanation could possibly do if all else was equal, and I believe that was the motive. This also helps solidify the branding of the hit and album- by cross branding in this way.
I believe Livgren masterfully combined all 3, and had enough experiences to do so. He did it seamlessly, and had to do it with great conviction.
As a rockstar, he may have experiences with LSD or other drugs, same as many Vietnam soldiers had.. maybe not common knowledge then but as a popular figure on some level he probably knew about some information on what and how things happened over there (Vietnam). He also had his own life and rise to stardom to gather from- you can say he was a Wayword son himself. He was very spiritual as well, though not a christian at the time written.
I believe that he did have a main storyline in his head as he wrote this, and it was about his own life and rise to stardom terminating in this song being the 'heaven' or where Kansas would actually 'Breakout'. He was predicting the popularity of the song itself or the album ("nothing equals the splendor" it would bring), and that's in fact what happened as the song lead them to fame.
It's important to understand that as he wrote this, he kept in mind to allow for at least the 3 interpretations above.
If you follow the Lyrics from beginning to end keeping in mind that it's about His life with the true possibilities of failure, including past failures (such as when Jefferson Airplane flopped for him)… while remembering to allow room for 'encompassing interpretations' on the song as this time they had to get it right; then you should find that the pieces fit well.
One way to look at it is the motive and how it ties with the song:
The main audience are 3:
The Vietnam Vet (and families); they are understood what they had gone thru by these lyrics.
Teenagers who try at stardom or other dreams only to fall short; they are consoled, and still encouraged, as they were the natural fans of rock then.
The religious populations and their youth especially; self-explanatory with 'Wayward son' better known as prodigal son in christian religion…
How does this main chorus 'not' fit any one of these groups?:
"Carry on my wayward son;
they'll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest,
don't you cry no more"
Questionably on some level it may not fit with the Vietnam vets but that is overshadowed by other strong correlations in the other lyrics and the admittance of Kansas- assuming an interview happened saying so as suggested out there. The motive of maximizing the audiences to sell the records needed really is the driving force here.
The Record Company and friends, along with the fear of failing and the thrill to succeed, drove Kerry Livgren to deliver this song. The meanings are at least 3 fold with Vietnam being it's public interpretation; but he did this using his own personal journey, including his feeling of the times and events of the day, as his main narrative to the storyline of this Masterpiece.

The Great Wall of China, the Empire State Building, the Taj Mahal ... three man-made wonders of the world.
And Britney's weave, y'all.
I dont understand why she cant afford a better weave or at least wear a wig until her hair grows to a length that she can style. Everyone knows what happened to her hair. Just put on a wig and let your hair grow out. It would have been at least to a boy cut length by now. Get rid of the weave!
When will everyone realize Brit has always been a hot mess?!
Interested in real fashion? myfashionevolution dot blogspot dot com
What a freak.
What's wrong with her ear? That's what I want to know.
Stick a fork in her - - she's done.
Does she own a mirror??
We've seen her weave, we've seen her private parts (many many times), we've seen her coming out of toilets, we've seen her so very much - TMZ can you understand this,
WE ARE SICK OF SEEING HER. Stop stalking and reporting on her please -it's too much information.
We are all bout sick of her and Lohans crap and Paris too, they all need rehab for a long long time. Get off her weave and her life, this gets her money. Ya'll are a MESS? go watch Financial news network
Okay, call me obsessive but I personally tend to grab a hand mirror and check the back of my do before I go out and I can pretty much guarantee no one is going to care how I look. I can also guarantee no one is going to snap my picture and show it to the world so my point being; ritney, sweetheart, you gotta invest in a mirror. 'kay? Also, the average growth rate of human hair is 1/2 inch a month so shouldn't he hair be grown out enough now to loose the weave? She should give her hair a break, well not a break, the weave will do that, I mean she should leave her hair alone for a while. Sorry Brit, you go out door looking like that, you know what's gonna happen...
I'd like to plasy Snakes and Ladders on her head.
Who ever does her hair should be SHOT. SHOT! This is a disgrace. Why doesn't the girl get herself to a stylist that does black girl weaves? Any African-American could have guided her on the right path. What on earth is going on between her ears?
Get the hell outta LA, girl! The town is driving you crazy. Like Phil Spector, Howard Hughes, Josef Stalin, Sybil with 16 personalities crazy!
Wow, I sure hope that's my record for typos per post.
glances over her shoulder for OCD or some other self appointed English professor who is sure to pounce any moment now...
Of course she needs to shave this mess off and start over again. African-American hair is made for weaves, the hair shaft is simply stronger. Britney is torturing herself and the rest of us that have to look at this mess. I can't imagine how agonizing it must be to get new weaves done every couple of days. Perhaps she would be more happier cutting herself.
Disgusting. Please put a warning sign on that weave.

These Oil Services Stocks Are Poised for Growth

Jefferies just came out with a report on their top oil services stocks. The firm stated that this sector will benefit from hydraulic fracking and increased U.S. drilling. What intrigued me the most about this list was the smaller names in the space. We're all familiar with Halliburton, Schlumberger, and National Oilwell Varco which were on Jefferies' list. But there were several names worth investigating that offer better more »

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is possibly the worst school ever. From bullying to the rude Front office people. This is a very unorganized school, who can't keep a teacher throughout the whole school year. No one ever returned my phone calls or messages about my daughter being bullied or not giving her breakfast because her teacher misplaced her card. Let's not talk about the teachers not being certified. WORST SCHOOL EVER.
Iam a parent of 4 kids that go to this school. Brookline has great teachers that are willing to really help out the students. I have really seen improvements in my kids grades and knowledge every year. Iam glad to say that my children go to this school because they really do their best to help their students.
Initially, I was reluctant about Brookline for personal reasons, however, the Faculty and Volunteers have indeed impressed my family and I. My grandchildren attend Brookline and I have seen a significant change in them. 1) their williness to learn, 2) a self confidence 3) their interest in reading and 4) their ability to demonstrate good communication. They enjoy particapating in as many activities offered, they have developed friendship, and learned how to be team players. On behalf of the Perry family thank you Brookline Faculty may you continue with your well appreciated efforts to make a difference. Rec Perry Grandmother

I have been seeing this doctor for many years and I have seen his practice go from excellent to poor mostly because of his staff. It is hateful from the time you walk in the door or they answer the phone whether it is the receptionist or the nurse. The doctor seems caring enough but doesn't really seem to know how to treat a problem anymore or care. There is never a follow up in between visits no matter how sick you are. The waiting time is out of hand being an hour or two. That was not the case when I first started seeing him. He has let this staff ruin his business. For my own health, I must find another doctor. I can no longer deal with this doctor and his staff.
I have been seeing this doctor for several years. He is kind with excellent bedside manners but need further medical training. He has you come back but doesn't follow up too well. Time is not managed well and waits are much too long.
this was a bad experience, involving an incredibly uncooperative staff. while the doctor seems caring, the staff does not. long waits, unanswered questioned, unaddressed issues, and constant struggles to obtain test results are the norm. an unaddressed hypertention issue became so severe that calling 911--after a previous heart attack that the practice was aware of--became a necessity. seek other options in order to avoid stress, rudeness, frustration, and interminable delays in all aspects of a patient's healthcare, despite the dr's concern for your wellfare and his pleasant demeanor. extremely disappointing experience.

Course No. DRG 360-460 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Christian Wulffen | Lane Cooper
This course will investigate the means by which various systems of drawing and representation function as methods of communication. How do historical, cultural and social contexts frame an artistÕs ability to send messages through their work? And, like in a game of telephone, in any system of communication it is inevitable that potential problems may occur- misunderstandings, errors, and falsehoods. Can these absorbed into the content of the work? Illusionistic, abstract, allegorical, diagrammatic, mathematical and idiosyncratic systems of drawing and representation will be investigated through this course, through studio practice, readings, critique and in-class discussion. Required of all Junior Drawing Majors.

What is Prayer?
Prayer is conversation with God. Even though He is the Creator of the universe, God wants to have a personal relationship with you. He knows everything about you ("Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered." – Luke 12:7), and he loves you unconditionally. He wants you to spend time with Him. Prayer is a way that you can talk directly to God and hear what He has to say to you.
First, we should pray because God tells us to do so. The Bible is full of references to this command:
• "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
• "Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving". (Col. 4:2)
• "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation." (Matthew 26:41)
• "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6)
Second, we need to pray because we love God and we want to spend time with Him. In prayer, we can learn more about God, what His Will for us is, and how we should be living our lives.
Third, we need to pray because we depend on Him for everything that we have and everything we need. Through prayer, we can praise Him for who He is, thank Him for all He does for us, and ask for help for the daily physical and spiritual needs of ours and our loved ones.
1. The Bible is God's Word. It is God's Will. When you pray God's Word, you are praying His Will. If you want your prayers to be effective, to "avail much," then you need to make sure that you are praying God's Will.
God wants to answer your prayers. However, that doesn't mean that He wants to give you everything you ask for. Jesus said:
This is not a license to ask for anything you want. Jesus did not say "Ask what you desire and it shall be done for you." He said, "… if my words abide in You, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." This means that if God's words abide in us, then we will be asking for the very things He wants for us. If we ask for those things, they will be done for us.
2. God's Word contains His promises to you, as well as His commands and instructions. He tells us in His Word promises like "I will never leave you or forsake you." (Deut. 31:6). By praying His Word, you claim God's promises and make them your own. You can remind yourself that He has promised you these things, and in faith declare them back to God. Thus, the verse "I will never leave you or forsake you." (Deut. 31:6) can become a prayer to God:
In his Word, God gives us commands and instructions for your life, such as: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30). By praying His Word, you can remind yourself of God's commands and instructions and ask for God's help in living according to His Will. The verse "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30) can become a prayer to God:
3. Praying His Word helps you to memorize Scripture, which is the most powerful way to resist temptation and avoid sin. "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You." (Psalm 119:11). When your prayers use God's Word, over time you will memorize key scriptures in the areas you are praying for. When God's Word is in your heart, you will be able to remember and use it to avoid sin when the circumstance arises.

Pretty Nails and Toesies: Golden Daisy
Backstory: I went to American Apparel in Santa Monica. I had to pee, and was on my way to the inconveniently located Starbucks across the street. LAME, AA, simply lame to not have a bathroom inside. The of course, I was walking towards the door when something shiny and colorful caught my eye.
Boom. After wanting every single color, I decided to settle for The Valley and Golden Flash, @ $6 a piece, I was satisfied. I'm an active person, and so of course I ended up breaking a nail when I returned to the Bay Area (Where my Giant's, 49er's, and Warriors fan's at?!). I decided it was time to have some very short nails, since I can NOT stand having one short nail. With that, I present to you ladies and gents, what I call Golden Daisy.
Golden metallic nailpolish, and a cute flower! Speaking of the flower, you notice my new nail art? As much as I'd love to to pretend that was all me, it's actually thanks to Kiss Nail Art. It's a must buy for ladies like myself who LOVE DIY nail art!
Okay, and the best part of this? It took me a grand total of 4 minutes, including the flower.
1. Paint all digits except the ring finger "Golden Flash", allow one coat to dry, then sweep on another.
2. Paint one layer of "The Valley" on your ring finger.
3. Choose which Kiss nail art stickers you want to use, and place them on your nail while your polish is still wet.
4. Wait for it to dry, and apply a clear coat on top.
And viola, Golden Daisy!
TA-DA, you have a cute new manicure, and you can say you did it yourself! Till next time my dolls!

Mr. S.K. Matlani is an entrepreneur based in Indore in the State of Madhya Pradesh in India. In 1985, Mr. Matlani quit his job as a clerk in a bank and started a small business of manufacturing plastic buttons and pipes. In 1986, he started manufacturing mosquito repellent mats after a visit to Malaysia where he saw the project and the technology involved. He fabricated a small machine in-house and his company began selling mosquito repellent mats based on his indigenous chemical formulation under the trademark JET. The total investment in the project was around Rs. 2.5 to Rs. 3 million (some USD 65,000).
JET proved to be successful in the market and was soon competing neck-to-neck with its main competitor. In 1995, one of Indias large industrial groups, M/s Godrej Sarah Lee Limited was looking at options for entering the mosquito repellent market. Godrej Sarah Lee, entered into negotiations with both Jet and its main competitor for buying their respective trademarks. That same year, Godrej struck a deal with Jet Home Care Products Ltd for buying the JET trademark for Rs. 300 million (some USD 6,500,000). The factories set up by Mr. Matlani as well as the other tangible assets of the company remained with Mr. Matlani and have since been abandoned. The acquisition by Godrej involved exclusively the trademark which had acquired a good reputation in the Indian market. Thus, against an original investment of Rs. 3 million, this SME earned windfall profits through the sale of its trademark. With his cash bounty and high spirits, Mr. Matlani has since started a new business of soyabean products and non-GMO products.
The morale of the story is that a sound IPR strategy and intelligent management of an IPR portfolio holds the potential to deliver a far greater value than all the traditional tangible assets a business may have. A trademark symbolizes the investments made by a company in delivering and marketing a quality product. In order to enter a new market such as the market for mosquito repellant mats, all that Godrej Sarah Lee required was a reputable trademark that met with the satisfaction of consumers. For an SME like Jet Home Care Products Ltd., its trademark proved to be its most valuable asset and selling it seemed an interesting option as the entrepreneur considered that the company was reaching the limits of its growth potential.

American snowboarder Jamie Anderson is a gold medalist. She's also an active user on social media, including the app Tinder – or at least was an active user.
So what is Tinder, you ask? Essentially it's a matchmaking application that facilitates communication between users. It's quite popular on college campuses and apparently also used heavily at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, this according to Anderson who hinted the app is getting quite the workout by fellow Olympians.
Per US Weekly:
"Tinder in the Olympic Village is next level," Anderson said. "It's all athletes! In the mountain village it's all athletes. It's hilarious. There are some cuties on there."
Anderson says she had to delete the app off her phone because it was too distracting and wasn't allowing her to focus on the games.
"There was a point where I had to be like OK, this is way too distracting," she said of using Tinder. "I deleted my account to focus on the Olympics."
Sounds like the 100,000 condoms the IOC brought in won't all be wasted.

December 25, 2006
Sylvester -- A Sylvester family is able to enjoy Christmas, just one week after all of their gifts were stolen from their home. After seeing the story that WALB aired Thursday December 21st, many south Georgians made generous donations to help the family out.
Engaged couple Greg Walker and Jocelyn Green discovered all their gifts were swiped from their Pine Street home about a week ago.
Like many other seven-year-olds on Christmas day Tamara Green is playing with all the new toys she received.
"This you gotta color and draw on and it's washable," said Tamara Green.
Tamara, her siblings and cousins were able to enjoy lots of toys for Christmas. Because others decided to give back after thieves stole gifts from her family's Sylvester home.
"People was helping us. They gave us a lot of presents and stuff," said Tamara Green.
Just one week before Christmas, the presents that the children were going to get were hidden in a bedroom before thieves struck. On Christmas, a doll house, clothes, bookbags, and other items were donated from people in the community.
From people like Melvin Bryant. He is like Santa Clause to the children because he brought all ten of them a new bike.
"I wanted to make sure that they had joy in their life today. On Christmas day isn't that right boo boo? There you go. See that right there is good enough for me," said Melvin Bryant.
Christmas was good enough for the children too. And for Jocelyn Green who thought she wouldn't be able to give her grandchildren the Christmas that she planned.
"Well it's a feeling I can't explain, but I'm happy, happier than I was before they took what they took because it's more. It's more than what they had and I want to thank everybody in the community and the surrounding counties for everything that they donated, which make my grandchildren have a lovely Christmas," said Jocelyn Green.
"I'd like to say thank you for all the stuff, and have a merry Christmas," said Tamara Green.
A message that all the children send to those who helped. Presents for the brothers, sisters and cousins of this family were stolen. But the goodwill of others rolled in just in the nick of time.

Bishop of Doncaster
Peter Burrows – Profile
Last Updated on Friday, 21 March 2014 13:46
Peter was born in Derby in 1955. After working at the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary and a short career in the Civil service he trained for the priesthood at Salisbury and Wells Theological College and was awarded a B. Th. in 1984.
After being ordained in 1983 he served a curacy in Baildon in the Diocese of Bradford before returning to the East Midlands as Rector of Broughton Astley in the Diocese of Leicester where he served for 8 years. He continued in the area as Team Rector of a larger group of parishes until 2000. For six years of this time (1994-2000) he was also Rural Dean of Guthlaxton. As a parish priest he was involved with a number of community and social enterprise initiatives.
Overlapping with his time as Team Rector he took a responsibility for all vocations, lay and ordained becoming the Director of Ordinands from 1997-2003 and Warden of Readers until 2005. He was also an Inspector of Theological Colleges, a member of St John's College Council, and the East Midlands Ministerial Training Scheme, Chair of the Vocations and Ministry Committee. During this time he was involved in producing a number of reports and training programmes. After leaving the parish in 2000 he took up a completely new role for the diocese as Parish Development Officer which involved parishes developing actions plans, setting up Ministry Leadership Teams and new patterns of local training. From 2003 he was in addition Director of Ministry. Between 1998 and 2005 he was an Honorary Canon of Leicester Cathedral.
It was from there that he was appointed as the Archdeacon of Leeds in 2005 In Leeds he has chaired the Diocesan Ministry and Training Development Group and worked as a member of the Board of Education and Council for Mission. He has further focused on finding funding and setting up three new Pioneer posts (the Business Community, new housing areas and the Night Time Economy) and a Fresh Expression in the city centre.
He has been a member of the General Synod of the Church of England in both Leicester and Ripon and Leeds dioceses and is a Bishops Adviser for Selection and Training.
Peter said that at the heart of his ministry has been a vision for proclaiming the gospel, a vision that includes the church itself being transformed and renewed as it reflects the image of God revealed in Jesus Christ. It includes the outworking of a theology where God meets us, connects with us and sends us out so that we can attract others to the saving love of Christ. This is the reason he has been so heavily committed to developing new models of ministry and patterns of church over the past few years and passionate about engaging with those parts of society the church has not normally connected with and in doing so speak the Gospel into new situations. This has included membership of the Institute of Directors.
Peter is married to Jane and they have two adult children, Adam, an Avionics Engineer in the RAF and Amie a Speech and Language Therapist. He lists amongst his interests all forms of Motor Sport but particularly Formula one, cooking Indian food and hospitality, playing the guitar (for own amusement only). He enjoys travel and has a particular interest and connections in Argentina and Sri Lanka

It's like clockwork.
Whenever my eldest has an orchestra or band concert, I get sick. Usually it's a migraine, but I get those so often it's hard for me to count that as "being sick." It's more like, "grinning and bearing it." So it's the SPECIAL kind of migraine -- the one that makes me see wavy lights and smell strawberries I get before these concerts.
Or the flu. I've had the flu at least twice for his concerts.
So while the other parents are oohing and aahing over their performances, I'm trying not to vomit into my purse again. Not exactly my favorite way to spend an evening.
But last week, my son had his Winter Orchestra concert and, I'm telling you, it was a Christmas Miracle because I was feeling FINE.
Perched in the balcony, seated there in the auditorium -- the very same one I used to play my own concerts in -- I had a perfect view of my son. My sweet, kind, handsome, almost-11-year-old son. On that stage, all of the quirks and differences that his autism brings were forgotten. He had his music.
And he, he is a musician.
As a baby, that child refused human touch. He preferred to sit in his crib and stare at his mobile, listening to the music from the box next to his bed, as he watched the world spin. It was only then that he was happy. I tried not to allow it to break my heart into more pieces than it should, but it did. It always did. I craved his touch in the same way he hated mine.
Car trips were a nightmare until I put on music. It was only then that he would calm down, the tears drying from his face, as he stared out the window, listening -- watching the world go by. As he got older, he learned by song. Anything you could put to a tune, he'd learn.
By the time he was 3, I started him on the violin. I knew then that music would be His Thing, the one thing he'd have to arm himself against a world that wouldn't always be kind. And it hasn't. But the music has.
When I saw my son there on the stage, bopping his hands and wiggling his arms as he waited for the conductor to begin, I smiled. I knew that he had found his place in the world. And that, well, that is priceless.
When the music began, his violin solo sung out wistfully into the auditorium, like tiny bubbles popping over our heads, and for a moment, my heart, it too soared.
Thank you, this was beautiful! I know that feeling your son has about music, it's why I still play too :) It's a beautiful thing, and I wish my mom had ever made it to a concert when I used to play publicly (which I did until my son was born) but even so, I would have understood if she hadn't because she was sick! But a great lesson for parents, you may not love what your child does, but be with them regardless and share their joy for that moment!
Thats so awesome, sounds like your son will go far with his music..... =)
I started playing violin at age 5. It is the one thing that has always been there for me no matter what . My husband and I help fund band instruments for kids who cant afford them in our town. Music is soooooo important.
