CORPUS CHRISTI - Southside business owners met up with the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the street user fee today. At the meeting local business owners got a chance to tell the Chamber of Commerce exactly how this fee could effect them.
They say the fee could cause them to higher prices at their stores and pass the cost off to customers or just get rid of some jobs.
"We're strangled right now. So what's going to happen is... What you don't hear is that we get rid of people. Or we cut hours because that is what we control the easiest," said one local business owner.
But that's not even the worst scenario.
"You're going to see some businesses close. And it's going to be the small businesses," said another business owner.
"If we're paying an 80 to 90 dollar a month fee, than our business is out," said a different business owner.
That is exactly why the Chamber says they are stepping in.
"It makes me worry! I mean we have to protect the business community. That's the job of the Chamber of Commerce," said President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce Foster Edwards.
And after hearing how this fee could effect some businesses, one council member who attended the meeting was having second thoughts on the ordinance he voted in favor of.
" I supported it going forward. But I might pull my vote back if I don't feel that staff and the City Council has made any movement in going at least and addressing the concerns that the business community has. The small business community in particular," said Council member Rudy Garza.
Saying he couldn't handle it if a small business failed because of a decision he made.
"My conscience would hurt me... I mean would bother me if I put any small business out of business because they said hey, this is the straw that broke the camels back," said Garza.
The second reading of the ordinance will be in about six weeks. At that time Garza and and the business community hopes it will come with quite a few changes.

Comments about Fisher Space Pen Bullet Grip Space Pen with Stylus:
The latest in my 'collection' of Fisher Space Pens, this iteration may be my most favorite! Two features stand out for me. 1) the stylus end for use with the capacitive touch screens on phones and tablets 2) the rubberized grip on the writing end!
I carry this pen nearly everywhere I go. I have been using Fisher Space Pens of one style or another for nearly four decades. In the beginning, I used them while ski patrolling because the pens can write on wet paper and even in the extreme cold air of ski resorts. Now most of the outdoor use comes with geocaching and the challenges of wet paper logs, etc.
I even purchase the refills and place them in Parker Pens. The ability to write on almost anything, anywhere in any environment is always useful. These pens are always my first choice. Finally, they ALWAYS write on the thermal paper receipts. This particular model is the best compact pen I have had to date.

Photoemission spectromicroscopy: A new insight in the chemistry of SnO x films for gas sensors
We used the novel experimental technique of photoemission spectromicroscopy to investigate the active area of SnO x thin films for gas sensors,deposited by dc sputtering. First, we analyzed the degree of oxidation and the homogeneity of as‐deposited films in a high lateral resolution (30 μm) spectromicroscopy mode with an energy resolution of 0.4 eV. This led to a surprising discovery of a large amount of tin monoxide on the filmsurface. Then we studied the interaction of H2 and H2O with the surface of polycrystalline SnO2films used as sensitive layers in actual gas sensor devices. These results have been related to the resistivity changes of the corresponding devices: we found that such changes are primarily due to a reduction process in the film rather than to mere chemisorption.

In Reply to: Re: Hitler was not religious posted by a canadian on August 20, 2004 at 01:01:40:
Well you can excuse me Canadian, deadly weapons and how effectively they kill people seems to be the main topic around here. As for being an ass, you wrote this: "Why the hell should money be extorted from Americans to pay for some african dictator to get another Limo". Hardly commendable is it, and I don't think you really endorse that statement.
You're also responsible for this cringe making speech: "Well it's probably safe to say future generations will never read of you in a history book. Patriots will, however, read of Nathan Hale who's only regret was he had but one life to give for his country. His name will live on, unlike many others who lived solely for themselves." I can almost hear the bugle now. This tearful flag-waving congratulation makes me gag every time, as Liberty would say, you regard the state as too much of a legitimate entity. You're entitled to your sickly patriotism and plastic flags, finally coughing out U-S-A, Ing-Err-Land or Can-er-da, but it makes you look like a total ass.
At least you're not a muslim, a room full of grown men begging is really pathetic.

The Watergate scandal that brought down a president was not so much about the deed but about the lies by that administration and the attempt to cover it up. I see parallels to the Libyan attack, although no one was killed in the Watergate break-in.

During one such fuss today, I got an idea.
How many people on the spectrum must there be that feel like me?

Office of Governor Bob McDonnellPress Release
Governor McDonnell today congratulated Virginia wineries for their recognition at the 2012 San Francisco International Wine Competition. The competition is the largest international wine competition in America, with more than 4,500 wines from 26 U.S. States and 29 countries competing.
"Virginia wines continue to garner acclaim far and wide, which is just one reason why my administration is proud to promote them here in Virginia, across the country, and around the world," said Governor Bob McDonnell. "The latest recognition came when the awards for the prestigious San Francisco International Wine Competition, one of the most highly regarded wine competitions in the world, were announced earlier this month. Just as last year, a number of Virginia wines scored highly against more than 4500 other wines and were awarded double gold, gold, silver, and bronze medals. The First Lady and I congratulate all of our wineries and wine makers for their accomplishments and for helping raise the Virginia wine industry to higher levels."
"In particular, we want to recognize Luca Paschina and Barboursville Vineyards for winning 'Best of Show' for their 2007 Malvaxia Passito and Doug Flemer and his team at Ingleside Vineyards for winning 'Best of Varietal' for their 2007 Petite Verdot. Luca and Doug have been outstanding ambassadors for the Virginia wine industry for years, so it is incredibly gratifying to see their efforts so highly recognized by the discerning judges at the San Francisco International Wine Competition."
Virginia is home to more than 200 wineries statewide and is fifth in the nation for wine grape production. A recent economic impact study shows that Virginia's burgeoning wine industry contributes almost three-quarters of a billion dollars - or $747 million - annually to Virginia's economy. Virginia wineries and vineyards support 4,800 jobs that provide $156 million total in wages. 1.6 million visitors include a visit to a Virginia winery on a trip. Wine travel in Virginia has gained many recent accolades. Virginia was recently named one of the ten best wine travel destinations in the world for 2012 by Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
Barboursville Vineyards – Best of Show Dessert Wine
Ingleside Vineyards – Best Petit Verdot
Gray Ghost Vineyards
Keswick Vineyards
Michael Shaps
Narmada Winery
Paradise Springs of Clifton
Pollak Vineyards
Philip Carter Winery
Veramar Vineyard
Commenting on this impressive award, Al Schornberg, owner of Keswick Vineyards, said "In a competition featuring so many great wines, we are honored that a Virginia cabernet showed so well". This medal follows closely on the heels of several other awards received by the vineyard including double-gold and Best of Class two years in a row at the Indy International Wine Festival for their Viognier and a platinum award at the San Diego International Wine Competition for their 2007 Heritage Reserve. Winemaker Stephen Barnard said, "We have always felt that our 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon was very special, so we are thrilled that it won such a coveted medal in this prestigious competition. This win demonstrates that we here in Central Virginia, specifically at Keswick Vineyards, have the ability to produce world-class wines."
The San Francisco International Wine Competition is generally regarded as the most prestigious wine competition in the United States as it brings in wines from 26 different countries, including such noteworthy regions as Italy, France, Australia, and Napa Valley, California. In total, 4556 wines were submitted for judging. Of the thousands of wines entered, less than 5% were awarded a double gold. This double gold category is reserved for wines that receive a unanimous consensus as outstanding in a blind tasting procedure, making it a truly special award.

If you don't -- And yeah.
You so much.

Thank you very much of that warm welcome.
Our I think my friend.
Whose family has been so good to me over the years I think -- -- electric introduction.
I want to thank everyone here at Cleveland State University -- warm hospitality thing.
-- -- -- And especially want to thank president Berkman.
For helping me -- you very much present -- really appreciate -- I don't know I don't bodies -- where's -- what's -- opinion varies over an hour and none of the would be possible anonymous would lean years they would W extraordinary work of Bob -- in an answer for neighborhood enterprise stop thinking.
-- -- thanks for many.
We are here.
In partnership.
On behalf of the -- No matter who your parents are.
No matter where you come from.
You should have the opportunity in America to rise.
To a property.
You know -- whatever your god given talent and hard work in -- you do it.
And so many -- Our history has been a long struggle to bring opportunity into every life.
Our nation was founded on the -- to -- All men are created equal.
That we all equal right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
But of course.
Equality of opportunity hasn't always been a -- of -- in our country.
It's something we've had to constantly fight for.
It's a cars -- -- to this day.
Even though only barriers -- equality have fallen.
-- -- -- -- Too many children.
Especially African American children are sentiment mediocre schools and expected to perform with.
African American and Hispanic children make up only 38% of an overall billions.
But -- -- 69% of the student schools identified lowest performing.
That's unacceptable.
We will every child.
In -- in this country.
-- -- In the words of Abraham Lincoln we owe them an unfettered start and -- feared -- in the -- -- Upward mobility.
Central -- -- in America.
But right now.
Americans an upward mobility aren't working do we.
-- -- -- -- -- -- Because we believe that Americans are better off -- -- dynamics free enterprise economy.
That fosters economic growth and opportunity and upward mobility.
Instead of stagnant government directed economy.
But -- job creation in -- government dependency.
You know -- Went wrong in our country.
-- 40% of children born to parents in the low fifth.
-- -- never know anything better.
The question before today.
And it remains serious.
How do we get to vulnerability turned -- -- job.
So that no one is left out from the promise of America.
To answer that.
We have to take a hard look at the approach government has been taking for the last -- decades.
And ask ourselves whether it's working.
With a few exceptions.
Government's approach has been a lot of money -- centralized bureaucratic top down anti poverty programs.
The problem it's.
Starting in the nineteen.
This top down approach created and perpetuated.
A debilitating culture of -- he reckoned with families and community.
This was so obvious to everyone by the 1990s.
Every major welfare program was finally reformed.
The -- passed by a Republican congress and signed by a democratic president.
In -- of -- and hunger and poverty.
We all welfare enrollment dropped dramatically.
Millions of our fellow at the -- new -- of independent.
We saw a child poverty rate fall over twenty in four years.
And unemployment in the -- -- Fewer welfare are going out.
It meant more money they spend on child care so more -- can go to work and support themselves.
Welfare reform worked.
Because they encourage the best and it appealed to their desire to -- their own destiny innings in -- In -- major strides toward getting the government out of the business of fostering dependence.
Here's the problem.
Well for reform -- hasn't been applied.
With equal -- across the spectrum of our anti poverty programs.
In of these programs.
-- in recent years.
We're still trying to measure compassion.
By how much government spends.
Not by how many people we help keep from poverty.
Just last year.
Total federal in spending on means tested programs came in at more than one trillion dollars.
How much is that in practical terms.
For that a lot of money.
You could give every core American checked for 22000 dollars.
And yet.
We spend all that money attempting to fight poverty through government programs.
And what do we have to show for -- Today 46.
Million people are living in poverty.
That's -- in -- Americans.
It's the highest poverty rate in -- generation.
During the last four years.
The number of people living on food stamps has gone up by fifteen million.
Medicaid is reaching a breaking point.
One and forced American students.
Failed to attain high school diploma.
-- -- -- Half of our kids don't graduate.
-- It is war on poverty poverty -- We deserve better yet we deserve a clear choice for a brighter future.
So what is the alternative approach that Mitt Romney and -- are offering.
To hear him tell it we think everybody stay put themselves.
False argument.
Brought -- and sort of avoiding genuine debate.
The truth is.
Mitt Romney and I believe in true compassion in upward mobility.
And we are offering.
Based on real reform for lifting people out of poverty.
Look I'm a proud Republican.
Our party does a good job.
Of speaking at a part of the American dream.
-- -- -- taking what you're passionate about making a living.
But part of what makes America great.
Is that when Americans don't team.
We look out from one another through our communities.
My party has -- -- information our community stronger.
-- we don't always do a good job of laying out.
Number I mean I want to change that.
-- -- the importance of community from experience.
I come from a town.
That has been hit hardest hit a lot of guys I grew up with worked at the GM my hometown.
And they lost their jobs -- that plant closed.
But what happened next.
Same thing that happens in communities around the country every day.
Our Tom pulled together.
Our churches and charities and friends and neighbors were to hear from one another.
And textbooks.
They called it the night.
In my own expert.
I noticed the guy.
-- -- -- He not only understands the importance of community -- He's a guy.
Who with the -- of successful business.
Took it wanted to serve as a late pastor or church for fourteen years.
Counseling people -- Boston's inner city neighborhoods.
Specially when they lost the job.
-- man who -- easily have contented himself with getting donations to needy cause.
But everyone who know him well.
We'll -- Than it always given his -- and attention to those around him were hurting.
He's the type that we've all -- in -- in our own communities.
Here in Cleveland to an all around America.
Are compassionate people.
-- -- you can in this country about our fundamental obligation to society's most vulnerable.
Those obligations.
Are not what we are debating in.
The real debate is about whether they are met by private groups or by the government.
But voluntary action or -- -- -- and color of mainly from Washington.
The short of it.
Is that there -- to -- -- allowing government to act for the common good.
While leading private groups free -- do the work that only they can do.
There's a vast middle ground between the government in the individual.
Our families our neighborhoods the groups we join our place of worship.
This is where we lead our -- Where we live our -- They -- character.
We -- direction and they helped me self governing people.
In earlier.
We talk some of the people who define civil society and make it work.
Like Bob Woodson.
-- center for neighborhood enterprise -- community organizations to improve people's life.
And doctor Marvin Mitchell -- -- Machines.
Doctor Margaret Mitchell who's been ministering to people in the inner cities for decades.
The reverend Willie -- Whose new birth project has helped almost 200 offenders gain and maintain employment.
And -- And a but we.
Brian -- with the where's Brian.
When Bryant felt called to open a homeless shelter in -- -- He can just -- his time.
He and his wife moved their family.
A baby and two young -- into the shelter in lived there for seven.
-- -- -- -- Ryan and his volunteers didn't just provide hot meals -- clean clothes bill that would have been a lot of it is youth outreach center.
He didn't just -- to a place to come in from street.
In all of this.
-- himself.
Show people in need the right path.
He walked it with them.
-- a guy as a friend.
And others like -- -- They are -- And meet people who have encountered a few -- the presents greater than just one compassionate soul.
What's really at work here is your galore.
And there is no end to the good that he can inspire.
And a hood.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- Mitt Romney and I share your -- and we will seek your counsel.
We will remember your high fertility today in it will be returned.
The order of power of your example will inform our approach to public palace -- When the.
The question is how best to help low income families reach for opportunity.
We will not defer to the Washington knows the crowd.
We will talk to the real experts like the people who are right here in this country -- So what is government's duty.
It comes to the institution.
That was the site.
Secure their right.
Respect their purpose is preserved there freedom.
Nothing undermining the central and honorable work grew quite like -- -- government -- Take what happened this past January.
When the Department of Health and Human Services issued new rules requiring Catholic hospitals -- and universities to violate their deepest principles.
Never mind your own content they're basically told from now -- you're going to do you think the government's way.
This man isn't just a threat to religious charities.
It's a threat to all those who turn to -- in times of need.
In the name of strengthening -- net.
This -- and others will weaken it.
Here's the good.
When Mitt Romney's president they mandate will be gone.
And when that happens.
These groups will be able to do and continue the good work that they do.
It's not just the abuse of government that undermines civil society.
It's also the government.
Look at the road -- around.
With trillion dollar debt every year.
-- on this scale so destructive and -- anyway.
And one of them is that it crowds out civil cited by drawing resources away from private giving.
Even worse.
Is the prospect of a debt crisis.
Bushel -- we do something different soon.
When government -- findings collapse.
Society's most vulnerable are the first victim as we are seeing right now and -- troubled welfare in Europe.
Many here feel that they have nowhere to turn for help.
We never let that happen here in America.
Where government is entrusted with providing a -- that.
Mitt Romney and I have her own vision how to -- wrong.
Exhibition at least the -- -- pass.
In the past and proposes instead of build on those reforms that have worked.
For starters.
Iran Ryan administration.
Will clearly restored those parts of the welfare reform law that have been -- -- we can.
We will do this for the sake of millions of Americans who deserve to lead lives of dignity and freedom.
We'll also apply other -- From welfare reform.
For example.
Many solutions that worked in the 1990.
Came from my home state of Wisconsin and leaders such as former governor Tommy Thompson.
President -- in in congress recognized.
There would be a good idea to give states more power to Taylor -- -- unique needs of -- Mitt Romney and I wanna apply this idea to other anti poverty programs such as Medicaid and food stamps.
The federal government will continue to provide the resource.
But we would remove.
Endless federal mandate restrictions that -- data to make these programs -- affected.
The question.
Is best.
Is what is best for low income will finally.
Should reflect the -- make that call.
But strengthening.
Their programs is still not enough.
If we want to restore the promise of America.
Then we must reform our broken public schools.
-- for a lot of people but it doesn't work for everybody.
Specially for Madonna and -- seem to have their own -- lined up pretty nicely.
But when you think about the future of the young adult.
System failed.
Many -- a lot of -- and appointment.
And her country owes them better than that.
You know I recently spent time at corner -- school -- an independent school in Detroit but are urban retreat.
An amazing place.
You can feel culture of responsibility and even all around.
While I was there.
Yeah I got talking with -- tenth -- name like.
She's already reading economics book that I didn't even encounter until I was in college.
More importantly.
Her class are learning the values of discipline accountability respect service.
Love for one another.
When you set aside all the obstacles education reform -- were left with one obvious fact.
Every child in America should have kind opportunity.
Sending your child to a great school.
Should not be a privilege of the well -- you.
That is why -- -- and I believe that choice should be available to every parent to our country -- -- -- -- Education reform hurt.
And freedom freedom -- the team.
Strengthen the safety net.
And the quality of our education system are among the many issues this year were to needy Americans having direct.
But above all else.
Is the pressing need for job.
Right now.
23 million men and women.
Median family income on down.
The -- -- Whatever your political party.
This nation cannot afford four more years like the last four years we -- we -- -- -- This is a man who is uniquely qualified and ready to deliver this recovery why.
Because he understands how our economy work and what it takes to make it grow.
In like the best leaders he had a clear goal twelve million jobs over the next four year.
We can do this.
For -- to take -- bull departures from the current power.
-- In four years and now -- -- -- Need -- President Obama or Vice President Biden.
Has offered the American people an agenda per second term.
But we know what it would be.
Mitt Romney in Iowa -- American workers back in the business of producing American energy.
We won't add the job training bureaucracy.
Will get resource directly to the workers who he feels.
Will a new market to American products.
-- trade -- crack down on countries that she.
We won't bury our children our grandchildren in debt we will stop spending money we just don't have.
We'll have.
-- he won't raise that we will cut tax rate for small business and working families.
Tax -- up.
Many of those were living in poverty today.
We're in the middle class a few years.
We can help them regain the ground it lost.
With a focus on growth.
All across the American economy.
You don't.
Becoming a nominee for president.
I have thought more than once about another man who ran for -- job as a champion of growth and prosperity.
-- -- on.
-- -- -- -- -- -- One of the things his friends loved most about him like he's really big heart.
When Jack Kemp talked about opportunity in America.
He and an opportunity for every one.
When he spoke about -- or human progress for every one.
That is the kind of -- -- at any political party can used in any generation.
For many years.
Jack in his mind and heart of the problem of poverty.
Brushing aside a lot of the old assumptions and settled and it.
The same holds true for Mitt Romney.
Want to know.
How Mitt Romney will lead our nation.
And look at how he has led his -- Them -- a man with a charitable heart.
You do work in a -- Look.

Facts and Events
Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (12 April 155024 June 1604) was an English peer and courtier of the Elizabethan era. Although he had a reckless, unpredictable, and violent nature that precluded him from attaining any court or government responsibility and led to the ruination of his estate, Oxford was a patron of the arts and noted in his own time as a lyric poet and playwright, and since the 1920s he has been the most popular alternative candidate proposed for the authorship of Shakespeare's works. Oxford was the only son of John de Vere, 16th Earl of Oxford and Margery Golding. After the death of his father in 1562, he became a ward of Queen Elizabeth and received an excellent education in the household of her principal advisor, Sir William Cecil, with whose daughter he made an unfortunate marriage. Oxford was a champion jouster, travelled widely throughout Italy and France, and is recorded by Stow as having introduced various Italian fashions to the English court. He served briefly in the Northern Rebellion (1569–1570), and in 1585 he joined the Earl of Essex in Flanders during the Anglo-Spanish War and commanded a cavalry company, but he quit the field before seeing action. Oxford was an important courtier poet and was praised as a playwright, although none of his plays survive. He was noted for his literary and theatrical patronage, and between 1564 and 1599 some 33 works included dedications to him by authors including Arthur Golding, John Lyly, Robert Greene and Anthony Munday. From 1580 until two years before his death, Oxford was the patron of a company of players. In 1583 he bought the sublease of the first Blackfriars Theatre and gifted it to the poet-playwright Lyly, who operated it for a season under Oxford's patronage.

Inhibidores de quinasa dependiente de ciclina (Cdk)
Cell cycle progression is regulated by a series of sequential events that include the activation and subsequent inactivation of cyclin dependent kinases (Cdks) and cyclins. Cdks are a group of serine/threonine kinases that form active heterodimeric complexes by binding to their regulatory subunits, cyclins. Eleven members of the Cdk family are reported so far, and each member of the family has a specific function in cell-cycle. Several Cdks, mainly Cdk2, Cdk4, and Cdk6, work cooperatively to drive cells from G1 phase into S phase. Cdk4 and Cdk6 are involved in early G1 phase, whereas Cdk2 is required to complete G1 phase and initiate S phase. Both Cdk4 and Cdk6 form active complexes with the D type of cyclins (cyclins D1, D2, and D3). Cdk2 is sequentially activated by the E type of cyclins, cyclins E1 and E2, during G1/S transition stage. A-type cyclins, cyclin A1 and A2, play a role during S phase. Cdk2/ cyclin A complex appears during late S phase and plays a role in progression of DNA replication. The cyclins that are involved in regulating the passage of the cell from the G2 checkpoint into M phase are known as mitotic cyclins and they associate with mitotic Cdks. Similarly, cyclins that are involved in the passage of cells from the G1 checkpoint into S phase are called G1 cyclins. Once the Cdks have completed their role, they undergo a rapid programmed proteolysis via ubiquitin-mediated delivery to the proteasome complex.
It is important to note here that Cdk5, a serinethreonine kinase, originally cloned from HeLa cells, is not directly involved in cell cycle. It is primarily active in neuronal tissue. Cdk5, in conjunction with its neuron-specific activator p35 (Cdk5/p35), has been implicated in tau hyperphosphorylation. Cdk5/p35 is also involved in neuronal migration and differentiation during development of the nervous system.
The enzymatic activity of a Cdk is regulated at three levels: cyclin association, subunit phosphorylation, and association with Cdk inhibitors. When cyclins initially bind to Cdks, the resulting complex is inactive. The phosphorylation of Cdks by Cdk activating kinases leads to their activation. Two main categories of Cdk inhibitors are reported in cells. They are the INK and the WAF/Kip families. The members of the INK family, INK4A (p16), INK4B (p15), INK4C (p18), and INK4D (p19), bind to Cdk4 and Cdk6 and block their interaction with D type cyclins thereby inhibiting Cdk activity. The members of the WAF/Kip family, WAF1 (p21), Kip1 (p27), and Kip2 (p57), form heterotrimeric complexes with the G1/S Cdks. Their major action is reported to be the inhibition of the kinase activity of Cdk/cyclin E complex.
From a therapeutic standpoint, Cdks are considered promising targets in cancer chemotherapy. The most promising strategies involve designing inhibitors that either block Cdk activity or prevent their interaction with cyclins. Most of the currently available molecules target the ATP-binding site of these enzymes. Such an approach might create serious problems as catalytic residues are well conserved across eukaryotic protein kinases. However, compounds such as Flavopiridol, Olomoucine, and Butyrolactone-1 that exhibit greater specificity for Cdks have shown promise.

In just a few simple lines, Fermière à Montfaucon gives a picture of the French countryside in the 1960s: the last moments of a disappearing, changing world. The simplest documentary images are there to make us aware of the raison d'être of agriculture, harvesting the fruits of a cyclical and repetitive nature. As the seasons go by, Eric Rohmer films a farmer's wife, Monique Sendron, and under the director's watchful eye, she tells us of her life on the farm and her involvement in farmers' organisations. The softly spoken woman gives us a portrait of herself and her life where, in her words, "the danger here is closing in on yourself". —Festival Premier Plans d'Angers
The most subtle and traditional of the many luminaries launched to prominence as a member of the French New Wave, Eric Rohmer is also among the movement's most consistent and enduring talents. Basing his work upon antecedents in literature as much as those in the cinema, Rohmer made his name crafting talky, feather-light romantic comedies and chamber dramas distinguished by economical camerawork, a warmly ironic tone, an affection for youth, and a fascination with place and time. His intensely personal private life — according to legend, not even his own mother knew he was an internationally acclaimed, albeit pseudonymously named, filmmaker — has stood in direct contrast to the emotional openness of his movies, which, in intimate and illuminating detail, explore the limitless entanglements, disappointments, and possibilities facing contemporary relationships.
Born Jean-Marie Maurice Scherer on December 1, 1920, in Nancy, France, Rohmer later relocated to Paris, where he worked variously… read more

James Cole has enjoyed photography as a hobby for over 40 years and has gathered images from over 80 different countries. The advent of digital photography and the powerful softwares that have evolved in the past few years have allowed James to move from photographic hobbyist to digital artist.
James uses a process he calls 'Photage', which is the combination of two or more (often well beyond ten) elements from different original photographs, always from his own extensive library, to compose a final piece of art. The results fall into the contemporary, abstract, surreal, impressionist and modern styles of art. James presents his work in many formats – framed limited editions, museum wrapped limited editions (giclee), digital images, greeting cards and matted prints. He and his wife Susan partner to produce oil enhanced giclees as well.
James' work has been accepted into the AANC National Show and Exhibit two years running and he has won multiple awards in the digital art category.

isn't Knoxville one of the fattest places in America?? let me make it easy for all you lazy people out there... don't smoke, don't drink (or over do it), don't gorge yourself, work out 1 hour a day four days a week and listen to your doctor. simple now get off your arse and move.
the reason why people in Knoxville are fat is because you can't walk.
there are no side walks and if they wanted to build side walks, it would cost the state 350.00 dollars per foot. WBIR did a research on sidewalks and that was the number.
I believe that if Knoxville had more sidewalks on kingstone pike and chapman hwy and other main roads, people would walk more than drive.
we also need a bicycle lane from knoxville to pigeon forge.

The late Dr. F. Harold Wirth, longtime professor at the LSU Dental School, was known around campus for his jovial manner and trademark greeting, "How's your PMA?" That's Positive Mental Attitude. He developed a comprehensive approach to dentistry and living that centered on balancing the key areas of work, play, love and worship. He believed that trust, the priceless ingredient in any relationship, is the natural result of sincerely caring about the patient. From trust comes quality which leads to excellence, career satisfaction, compensation and contentment.
On the day of his death, he told an audience at LSUSD attending a continuing education class that "there will always be free enterprise private practice for the caring dentist who constantly seeks excellence for his patients through the exercise of great care, skill and judgment. For those of you who are concerned, do not worry because people will seek you out."

Family Matters: Parents Teach
Have you ever wondered how many parents see themselves as teachers? Well, it's true. First and foremost, whether they intend to or not, teaching is what parents do.
They teach their children how to love or hate; how to be in relationships or not; how to be good citizens or not; how to see the world; how to be focused or scattered; how to earn, spend and save; how to be honest or deceitful, appreciative or caring; how to feel about themselves and others. You get the picture, teaching is what they do.

InterfaceTypeAttribute Class
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Interface, Inherited=false)] [ComVisibleAttribute(true)] public sealed class InterfaceTypeAttribute : Attribute
/** @attribute AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Interface, Inherited=false) */ /** @attribute ComVisibleAttribute(true) */ public final class InterfaceTypeAttribute extends Attribute
AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Interface, Inherited=false) ComVisibleAttribute(true) public final class InterfaceTypeAttribute extends Attribute
Not applicable.
You can apply this attribute to interfaces.
By default, the Type Library Exporter (Tlbexp.exe) exposes a managed interface to COM as a dual interface, giving you the flexibility of late binding or the performance of early binding. The ComInterfaceType enumeration enables you to override the default behavior and specify late binding only or early binding only. For example, you can apply InterfaceType (ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch) to an interface to produce metadata to restrict callers to late binding only. Although interfaces that derive from the IDispatch interface are often dual, the InterfaceIsIDispatch enumeration member allows only late-bound calls to the interface methods. This attribute has no effect on the managed view of the interface. For additional information on how interfaces are exposed to COM, see Exported Type Conversion.
The Type Library Importer (Tlbimp.exe) also applies this attribute to imported, nondual interfaces; it applies the appropriate enumeration member to indicate that the interface is dispatch-only or IUnknown -only.
The following example shows how InterfaceTypeAttribute controls how the interface is exposed to COM.
using System.Runtime.InteropServices; //Interface is exposed to COM as dual. interface IMyInterface1 { //Insert code here. } //Interface is exposed to COM as IDispatch. [InterfaceTypeAttribute(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)] interface IMyInterface2 { //Insert code here. }
import System.Runtime.InteropServices.*; //Interface is exposed to COM as dual. interface IMyInterface1 { //Insert code here. } //IMyInterface1 //Interface is exposed to COM as IDispatch. /** @attribute InterfaceTypeAttribute(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch) */ interface IMyInterface2 { //Insert code here. } //IMyInterface2
import System.Runtime.InteropServices //Interface will be exposed to COM as dual. interface IMyInterface1{ // ... } //Interface will be exposed to COM as IDispatch. public InterfaceTypeAttribute(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch) interface IMyInterface2{ // ... }

The Human Element
As I'm sure everybody knows by now, Instant Replay is now a part of baseball. After the umpires managed to repeatedly find themselves unable to determine whether a ball went over the fence or not (really?), the outcry got loud enough that everyone (except the umpires) wanted to do something to make sure the calls get made correctly. So the umpires grudgingly obliged, and will now go through a ridiculously convoluted and mysterious process to review calls. I have a few problems with Instant Replay as it was implemented.
- The replay will not be shown at the stadium, meaning that the fans, players, and managers will be completely in the dark as to what the umpire may or may not have seen to overturn the call. If there's a questionable home run call and you're sitting around for a few minutes wondering what happened, does it fill you with confidence when the umpire appears from behind the curtain and says "Yes, it was a home run after all. Trust me. Oh yeah, game over, you lose." If you'd seen the video, there's at least the chance that you could be non-homerish and see that the call was right (or that the umpire is still wrong).
- Replay will be used only at the umpire's discretion. Managers cannot "challenge" plays (much to the amusing chagrin of Lou Piniella), they can only "request" a review, and the umpires are free to deny this request. Basically, if the umpires think they got the call right, it won't be reviewed — and the umpires always think they're right. Is anyone confident now?
- Questioning the decision of the umpire results in summary ejection. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this rule — arguing with the results of the review should result in ejection, because it's pointless and delays the game and they're obviously not going to review it again and re-reverse a call. But consider it in the context of the previous two bullets: The managers and players haven't seen the replays, so they don't know what happened; if questioning the umpires results in summary dismissal, then I'd expect it to happen often when a call goes against a manager and he doesn't know why. Secondly, the managers can't "demand" a review, they can only "request;" if they are too forceful, they can be ejected. This is going to be pretty farcical.
- The system relies on its enemies to carry out the plan competently and effectively; the umpires don't want replay, and it was forced on them. All they have to do to make it a "failure" is to do a bad job: refuse to review questionable calls, refuse to overturn calls that they thought were right on the field, offer no visibility into their decisions, eject players and managers for "arguing" about replay, et cetera. If the umpires don't buy into the system, there needs to be an authoritative person/committee above them to administer replays and override the dubious authority of the umpires.
When Ryan Howard beats out a grounder with two outs late in a tie game, scoring a run to take the lead — oh wait! The umpire incorrectly called him out so the runner doesn't score and the Phillies lose. This has clear and immediate implications on the playoffs in the NL East and Wildcard.
AJ Pierzynski stupidly runs from second to third on a grounder to short — after a brief rundown he turns his head, reaches out to slap a defender, and falls over as if he'd been tackled. The umpire calls "obstruction" and awards him third base. Men on first and third with one out is a whole lot different than a man on first with two out — the White Sox won two batters later, which has clear and immediate implications on the playoffs in the AL Central, East and Wildcard.
But the AJ Obstruction Scandal gets even more delicious. The umpire in question was Doug Eddings, who as a general rule does nothing but get calls wrong. (If he's umpiring, you can be sure that both teams are going to get screwed regularly; the guy just never seems to know what he's doing.) After the game, Eddings was shown a replay of the play, and he immediately thought he'd made a mistake:
Mike Port, MLB's vice president of umpiring, told the St. Petersburg Times on Thursday that it was "a missed call" and that in making the split-second decision, Eddings thought he saw runner A.J. Pierzynski "impeded more than he was" by Aybar, the Rays' third baseman.If only there was something we could do to get calls like that right, so the winners of games — and perhaps the teams in the playoffs — are decided by the play on the field rather than the umpires. Perhaps Instant Replay should apply to more than just boundary calls, but to questionable mistakes made by umpires?"Looking back at that occurrence, for the first and last time, it was a missed call," Port said. "And it was not because Doug Eddings, an umpire with 10 years' experience and 10 before that in the minor leagues, didn't know the application of the rule, but just that in the moment in applying the rule, he saw something he thought was more than it turned out to be."
Most of the commentary I've heard about this question goes back to "The Human Element." On Fox's "Crappy Hour Before the Game Starts" segment on Saturday afternoon, that irritating woman who sits next to Mark Grace said "I'm old fashioned, and I'm all about the Human Element. Why do we need replay at all?" What is the Human Element, and why do people think it's a good thing?
Umpires make the wrong call, unfairly benefiting one player or team over his opponent, and this is accepted because … ? Status quo? To err is human? Mistakes are acceptable? Since when is minimizing the importance of the players and their feats on the field in favor of decrees by masked bureaucrats an American Tradition?
Bud Selig insists that Instant Replay will never be more than boundary calls, adding that he hates technology and just got a computer last year. Congratulations, Bud, but you're supposed to be the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, a $7 billion company, not the Commissioner of The Association for Troglodytic Luddite Baseball Fans. Don't brag about the fact that you're trying to run the show while being unable to figure out your email program — especially when Eric Hosmer might lose his contract because the Commissioner's Office was communicating with the Pirates … and apparently are incapable of receiving two phone calls (or emails) at once. Selig doesn't need to pander to his base of technology-fearing old people — he should probably be trying to popularize the game among a younger demographic that is comfortable with technology and has plenty of disposable income. But I digress — I shouldn't let Bud Selig's deliberate and malicious incompetence distract me. This is about baseball. About the integrity of the game. And about the umpires ruining that integrity by consistently making the wrong call.
The calls should be right. Umpires have an increasingly difficult job — parks get bigger, smaller, more unique; players get bigger and faster, they hit and throw harder than ever. An umpire can't reasonably be expected to have 100% accuracy on a call determined by milliseconds and fractions of an inch — especially when he's looking at it from hundreds of feet away. If there were some technology that would aid the umpires in making correct calls such that the players determine who wins, how can that possibly be worse than allowing the umpires to stubbornly stick with what has "always worked?"
The Human Element. Stubbornness. Caring more about job security than competence. Why idolize this stupid behavior.
Fix Instant Replay: Make it separate from and above the umpires, and use it for everything.
The Human Element? The players are already human.
(Now someone please print this out so Bud Selig and the rest of The Association for Troglodytic Luddite Baseball Fans — more commonly known as Major League Baseball — can figure out how to "read" it.)

The "Human Element" argument is preposterous.
The PLAYERS are the human element of the game, not the umpires.
The officials' ONLY job is to get the calls right. It's difficult to comprehend this argument that NOT doing so should just be an accepted part of the game.

AMESBURY (AP) — A 63-year-old Amesbury woman has died of Eastern equine encephalitis.
The family of Charlene Manseau tells The Daily News of Newburyport that she died Saturday from what they called complications from the mosquito-borne disease.
Manseau, who had been treated for cancer in recent years, was hospitalized Sept. 10 at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston and was diagnosed with EEE during the course of her treatment. Her family says her cancer treatment and medication and the resulting weakened immune system may have been a factor in her death.
Manseau was a mother of four and grandmother of 12.
She is thought to be the second Massachusetts resident to die of the disease this year. State public health officials say a Westborough man in his 70s also died from EEE.
