ACLU warns 84 Michigan cities and towns to change their local panhandling laws
Dozens of Michigan communities are getting letters from the American Civil Liberties Union warning them that their anti-panhandling laws may be unconstitutional.
Over the summer, a federal appeals court ruled Michigan's anti-panhandling law was unconstitutional.
The case decided by the U.S. Court of the Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati stemmed from the arrest of two Grand Rapids men in 2011 for begging. James Speet and Ernest Sims were represented by the ACLU.
The appellate opinion says the law "would chill a substantial amount of First Amendment-protected activity."
Dan Korobkin is with the ACLU. He says the old law was just unfair.
"You can stand on the sidewalk and collect money for charity. You can collect money for the Salvation Army or for your school's field trip," says Korobkin, "but if you are poor and you want to collect money for yourself that's what's illegal under these ordinances and the state law that's been declared unconstitutional.'
More than 80 Michigan cities and towns, like Lansing and Warren, still have local ordinances on the books based on the state panhandling law that was struck down. The ACLU says those local laws should be repealed.
Courts have upheld so-called aggressive begging ordinances to protect the public from harm.
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with making it illegal to harass people, to commit fraud, assault, trespassing…these things are already illegal," says Korobkin, "What's unconstitutional is to prohibit people from peacefully standing on the sidewalk and asking for spare change."

Daughters of the Witching Hill: Summary and book reviews of Daughters of the Witching Hill by Mary Sharratt
As a reader, I learned about the use of religion as a means of control over the people ... at times, it reminded me of the current times, when we are becoming less tolerant of others who are not exactly like us. I encourage all to read this enchanting story as it will have a lasting effect on you showing how the world has changed and then really not changed over the last several hundred years.

Only at one of SUNY's premier arts campuses would you find a fusion of talent like this! At SUNY Potsdam, home to the world-renowned Crane School of Music, the College performed a unique arts experiment to cap off the fall semester.
Bringing together the Crane Symphony Orchestra and Crane Chorus with SUNY Potsdam graduate student Elijah Foulks, also known as Knowle'ge ReignSupreme, who picked up the mic and began to rap as the musicians started improvising to back him up.
Check it out above.
"This collaboration shows just how chameleon-like hip hop can be," Foulks told the student newspaper, The Racquette. "Even this freestyle had jazz influences and classical influences that combined with my hip hop flow."
The impromptu performance took place on the Helen M. Hosmer Concert Hall stage in between back-to-back Candlelight Concerts on Dec. 4, 2011. The project was the brainchild of Director of Marketing Deborah Dudley, who wanted to showcase the arts diversity that makes Potsdam stand out. Videographer Doyle Dean captured the experience.

Ovechkin: Montreal 2009 was the best
In Russian, translation is below.
Pavel Lysenkov talks to Ovi after All Star game:
"It was a wonderful [hockey] celebration," gave his final verdict Alexander Ovechkin. "It was a good atmosphere. Only one thing though, they just gave me a very little ice time!"
Did you try to find out how much of ice time they actually gave you?
No, I felt like it was about 15 minutes. (Actually it was 16:02 - Ed.).
And how much you would like to have?
Not less than half an hour!
In one episode you threw the stick when Matt Duchene went on breakaway. Did you want to amuse people?
Well, yes. Besides I knew that in All Star games nobody ever had a penalty shot. I wanted to go down in the history.
And did you want to grab the penalty as well?
That was unnecessary. I was only planning to plaster someone on the boards, but failed.
With the score 4:0 in favor of the team Staal did you think that it was over?
That's exactly what I thought.
And why did you lose?
You've seen it all yourself.
It seemed that as soon as you've scored, you started to play more for your partners. In one of those moments you passed the puck to Staal though you were in a better position yourself.
You got it right. I wanted Staal to score. He was playing in his arena with his fans. I remember well when Ilya Kovalchuk played in the All Stars game in Atlanta, everybody tried to set him up too. But Ilya did not score and Staal scored twice.
This is your fourth All-Star event. Which one you liked the most?
Of course, Montreal 2009, no question about it. It was a great hockey atmosphere. A huge excitement around the event. There were five Russians there, Kovalev, Malkin, Kovalchuk, Markov and I. It was a fun time!
That's the real reason why Ovi liked it. The hottest chicks in N/A. :-)
Dadonov was given the assignment by Pathers to buy 30 jerseys for the whole team. What souvenirs are you taking away from Raleigh?
Greenie and I bought baseball caps, and I always did it before. And got few more jerseys.
Do you have a tradition to collect team's autographs on your jersey?
Yes, here's my jersey, signed by everyone. I'll hang it somewhere in my home museum or maybe somewhere else.
And the mitts?
Yes, look here, the entire team signed the autographs on them. Those are not for playing, those are spare gloves. I had my jersey signed by entire team after Quebec too. I sometimes give away those as souvenirs when significant events occur. And I'd say, "Here're gold mitts. Here is a golden helmet."
The Washington Capitals are getting into the most important finishing part of a season and you don't score much. You need to start to toughen up, to prepare yourself for the playoffs...
Well, let's toughen up (agreed Ovechkin).
There haven't been more controversial season in your career like this one.
Let's talk at the end of the year, if I delivered what was expected or not. If you're trying to say that this season I failed, I wouldn't agree. Washington is in the playoffs' zone, fighting for a place in the eight. The rest will be decided in the Stanley Cup run.
In a week St. Petersburg will host the KHL's All Stars event. Are you going to watch it?
It would not be possible. I am not going to wake up at night for the sake of it. I might watch highlights on the Internet.
Gary Bettman and Bill Daley were asked recently if the league will send the teams to Russia. They said that it was not decided yet. Can you lobby for this project?
I'll vote with two hands for it. For our fans, for my family, for my friends, it will be a terrific event. NHL clubs haven't been in Russia for a long time, and even more, they never opened their regular season there.
Bettman said that Siberia scares him, too far to fly.
The flight from Moscow to Omsk takes three hours. Why it does not scare anyone when we're flying from Washington to Los Angeles for six hours?
Carolina complained that SKA played against them too physical. Can you make your Washington club to play physical against the same Dynamo?
I will not promise anything. The most important thing is to go to Russia. And there we'll figure out how to play.

Many living organisms contain billions of cells that carry out diverse functions. In order for the cells to cooperate, cells need to be able to communicate with each other. Many of the genes that cells are capable of synthesizing are thought to be involved in cellular signaling (a.k.a. signal transduction).
There are two methods of cell signaling: 1. cells secrete chemical signals that can be transported to distant cells. 2. that will enable them to communicate with other cells through physical contact.
Chemical Signaling
Chemical signaling can be classified into three categories: local-chemical mediator, hormone, and neurotransmitter. In the local-chemical mediator model, the secreted chemical acts on the cells in the immediate environment. Hormones are used for communication with distant target cells. For example, cells can secret a chemical and rely on the blood system to deliver the signal to a distant cell. Finally, neurotransmitters are secreted by neurons to stimulate an adjoining cell. For example, a neuron might secrete acetylcholine to stimulate the movement of a muscle cell.
Diagram showing the three different forms of chemical signaling: local chemical mediator, neurotransmitter, and hormone.
Receptor-Mediated Signaling
Cells also depend on direct interactions between surface receptors to communicate. Oftentimes, when the two cells bind together with their receptors and ligands, the shape of the receptor is changed and can induce the phosphorylation of an ADP molecule. This can then initiate a cascade of events.
Receptor-mediated signaling is also observed in the immune system. For example, white blood cells (T-lymphocytes) will bind to foreign proteins on a cell's surface when a cell has been infected. This binding-induced signaling will initiate a immune response.
Much research have been focused on different modes of cellular signaling. A better understanding of the different chemical signals and their associated-pathways can provide insights to cures for cancer, AIDS, and many other prominent diseases.

Sky Sports has launched its coverage of Super League 2013 with a 'Hardest Sport In The World' promotion featuring Man Of Steel Sam Tomkins and Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins.
The promo, which premiers tonight, sees Rugby League fan Wiggins climbing winding roads on his bike as an unidentified hooded athlete runs through the surrounding forests up the mountain. Wigan player Tomkins then emerges onto the road as Wiggins rounds the final bend and the pair continue up the hill side by side.
Wiggins has previously spoken of his respect for Rugby League players on a Boots 'n' All special on Sky Sports:
"In the late 90s I moved up north to train closer to Manchester at the velodrome, met my wife - she's from Wigan - and the first thing her father did was take me to a Wigan match. From there really I fell in love with the game.
"The thing that struck me the most was just how hard and how physical it was. Everyone knows it is a physical game but I had only seen union up to that point, but league... just how fast it was, how athletic the players were.
"It was a proper sport to the point where you sit in the stands, you get to hear the tackles. From a sport like cycling we think it's dangerous at times with the crashes, but it was no comparison really and it was inspiring, sitting there watching."
The promo will air from 8.00pm tonight (Thursday January 24) on Sky Sports channels ahead of the first live Super League match of the season, Leeds v Hull FC on Friday February 1, Sky Sports 1 HD.

Sen. Brown and Elizabeth Warren tour Westport
Posted: 10/29/12 at 12:10 am Updated: 10/30/12 at 5:55 pm
Tags: Westport Hurricane Sandy Flooding
WESTPORT, Mass. (WHDH) -- On the south coast, flooding caused problems; because of the high tide and the storm surge, many communities were underwater.
In Westport, they've had floods, power outages and evacuations but it wasn't until sunrise that the full extent of the damage Sandy left behind could be seen.
Sandy's punishing winds and high seas hit coastal areas hard in Massachusetts, and Westport was no exception.
"We've seen it before. I don't think it's near as severe as perhaps '78 or the no-name storm. But it's still, for the people on the coast, it's still scary," said a Westport resident.
In Westport, roads that were visible disappeared underwater in minutes as high tide approached. Many people took the risk to drive through, others checked in on elderly neighbors without power.
"We live in a small community here. Everybody knows everybody and we try to watch out for each other."
Mandatory evacuation orders were handed out in Dartmouth but many people with property to protect opted to stay put.
"We will wait and see how high the water comes and we'll decide to go," said a resident whose home sits nears the water.
Further to the north downed power lines forced street closures in Winthrop but it was the crashing waves that had residents in awe.
While police warned residents to stay inside, some locals could not help but get an up-close look.
"I am a faithful person so I let it be done whatever is going to happen is going to happen."
Sen. Scott Brown toured the area on Tuesday morning.
"We're a little but lucky this time. I think the governor and his team did a great job," Sen. Brown said.
Sen. Brown's opponent Democrat Elizabeth Warren also toured the area.
"It's clear that this was a powerful storm and it reminds me again of how grateful we are to our first responders for all that they did. How grateful we are to our governor, to our reps. and senators who really got prepared and made sure that the damage wasn't worse than it was and that we didn't have people who were hurt," said Warren.
Senator Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren decided not to participate in their final debate Tuesday night due to Sandy, but were in talks of possibly rescheduling for later in the week.

Maybe, anyway. He has to resolve his legal issues, which include the video voyeurism case.
Huggins has grabbed a bunch of talented big guys this recruiting cycle. Holton and Macon (who had to go prep school for a year) should be ready from day one. Williams might need a little time to get acclimated, and Watkins probably will, even though I think he's underrated.
If Staten improves his game, the Mountaineers should be extremely tough, especially in 2014-15.

Austin had shoulder surgery. Expected to fully recover within 4-6 months.
McLemore investigation is being discussed elsewhere on the board.
KSU is getting out early on Fletcher McGee, a 6'3" SG from Florida (and QB). He's a sophomore, without a Rivals or Scout page, and is only #25 among Florida sophomores according to Florida Hoops.
But 247 has a page
Huggins blames himself for poor scouting of Big 12 opponents, complains about travel time, thinks Holton is the best JUCO player in the country (has company there), and says WVU will be better at rebounding. (WVU was the best in the conference at offensive rebounding % but just 6th in defensive rebounding %.)

Yes. And that is exactly why this change was needed, the 2.6 in the beginning of the version string had lost all meaning. 2.8 would not have worked for what is planned here (the idea is to make all parts of the version number active again, so there will be a 3.1 which wont be a special development version or anything like that).

That way you have a clear reason why you want to start the 4.x series - either because there is not much 3.0 left, or because the additions dwarf the original.
Here's an out-of-date graph that shows how total code size grew from 2.6.12 to 2.6.37 ... while code from each release was gradually nibbled away by later releases: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/aegl/codede...

But I wish Linus would have given some insight as to what the number 20 is too big for. My own mind has no trouble grasping 21 (or 321) releases of something.
To avoid that, Linus is just inventing a new numbering system rather than use the decimal system that people know so well. (I.e. he plans 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, ... 3.20, 4.0, 4.1, etc. whereas the decimal 3, 4, 5, ... 23, 24, 25 makes more sense to me).
Posted Jun 3, 2011 23:05 UTC (Fri) by elanthis (guest, #6227) [Link]
20 isn't "too big" for anything, it's just an arbitrary number in an arbitrary range chosen as a reason to increase another arbitrary number.
I'd have preferred the calendar-based numbering (like Ubuntu's) simply because then the numbers mean something logically to lay users and folks who want version numbers to imply _something_ without actually implying anything that Linus doesn't want the version number to do (that is, the 2012.04 release doesn't indicate some major new feature or change from the 2011.10 release, it's just the next version and it happens to be released in 2012 rather than 2011).
Posted Jun 4, 2011 2:26 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
Version numbers aren't decimal numbers. A lot of Americans especially tend to forget that, due to our use of the dot
Sorry, I didn't notice that opportunity for confusion. I didn't mean 3.21 is a decimal number because it has a decimal point in it. I meant 21 is a decimal number. Linus plans to use an x.y number scheme, with the y part resetting and the x part incrementing at arbitrary points instead of using decimal, where the cipher is a string of digits, each turning over at 10.
But those are Linus' word. The reason to increase the first number from 3 to 4 is that (approximately) 20 is "too big."

Interesting... Is this why dots became popular in software version numbers, I mean because they make numbers more or less look like fractions?

"1 000,25" is also quite common:
periods in release numbers
Posted Jun 8, 2011 1:58 UTC (Wed) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
I don't see how it can be anything else. Early software products had plain natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4. OS/360 got up to the 30s or 40s that way, with several releases a year. Later, the bureaucracy surrounding putting out a new release got so heavy that people wanted a way to improve Release 31 without actually putting out Release 32, so the natural thing was to make it fractional. It was probably a while before they had more than 9 of these subreleases, and then there was probably some dilemma about calling it 31.10, but I guess we got over that. And eventually, as people put more and more stuff into these cheap subreleases, the bureacracy grew up around those too, and so we added another fraction: 31.10.1 etc.
If they weren't thinking of fractions, it would have been more normal to call it "Release 31, Subrelease 10, Modification 1" and abbreviate it "31-10-1".

> It is too big for the human brain
That's... not relevant in any way. The number 20 is still one number, with two digits. If the discussion were over version 17456295702 or something else with a lot of digits to remember, *then* it would be relevant.
(PS. The idea in question is, of course, utter bollocks. For supporting evidence, see the 3 billion people who happily memorise lots of 11-digit telephone numbers, for example)
magic number 7
Posted Jun 8, 2011 15:44 UTC (Wed) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
I think you missed the point. Few of those people could repeat a random 11 digit number you say slowly back to you. The 7 limit is working memory -- where things stay in your brain before they are memorized. Also, many people could repeat back an 11 digit telephone number because it contains multi-digit chunks which are a single piece of information. For example, a North American area code is 3 digits, but in most cases, that would count 1 toward the limit.
Incidentally, as the Wikipedia article admits, current thinking is that the real number is less than the 7 +/- 2 from the 1950s research.
If there were some reason that people needed to think about some feature of all minor releases of a certain major release of the kernel at once, then 20 would be way too many. But I think marcH was just making a light-hearted comment about a number being intrinsically too big. It's pretty clear that the only thing 20 is too big for is some aesthetic feeling Linus has about normal looking release numbers.
Posted Jun 8, 2011 23:04 UTC (Wed) by neilbrown (subscriber, #359) [Link]
The difference between 38 and 39 is simply a lot smaller than the difference between 8 and 9 (is some cognitive sense which I believe psychologist can measure) and I have trouble remembering which of those two is 'next'.
It felt really good when 2.6.39 was done because then the "next" version would be 2.6.40, and the difference between 40 and 39 is MUCH bigger than the difference between 39 and 38. And then 2.6.42 wasn't far away and the difference between 42 and any other number is clearly very big too. So we were coming to a time when I would not be confused about version numbers for at least a year or so.
So it seemed like a strange time to change numberings, just when the up coming numbers would be so much easier to work with. But I definitely understand how numbers can be "too big" - it is when their differentiation becomes too small.

Blow to Cotswold restoration
"Our existing waterways must take priority" says Robin Evans and, while that is undoubtedly true, it hardly explains why BW is walking away from the Cotswolds scheme. BW has already re-directed the money earmarked for the rebuilding of Vale Royal lock to the Mon and Brec. A large number of other repair and maintenance works scheduled for this winter were also put on hold to save money. Why is BW pulling the plug on the Cotswold Canals at this stage? Could it be that the flattening of the housing market has reduced the expected income from BW's property interests?
This news is very alarming for all waterway restoration groups. But the cutting back of maintenance and repairs is alarming for existing waterway users. If another catastrophic failure should occur, where will BW find the money to sort it out? This all comes back to our main campaigning theme - the need for waterway funding to be put on a secure, predictable and adequate basis and not subject to the dubious fortunes of DEFRA.

The IWA have come out with a scathing attack on British Waterways' decision to back out of the Cotswolds project and while on one hand I share their concern, I must say that I think IWA have partially missed the point.
This is a decision that must have been very difficult to take but I can't see that BW had any other option. Would you spend your limited capital to build an extension on your house if the very fabric of the main building was in need of major repairs?
Of course, it is a great disappointment to those who have put so much work into the Cotswold project, but whatever BW put into that project would just be taking money away from maintaining the major part of the network. Sure, I know it is being spent on repairing the Mon & Brec which is also not part of the main system but that will save jobs & businesses that are already established. Don't forget too, that BW have a legal obligation to keep the cruising waterways open.
In short, this is just an extreme example of the fall out caused by Defra's short-sighted cuts. Coupled with the fact that BW have not been re-imbursed (by Defra or EA) for the £8-10 million emergency spend on floods last year, BW have obviously been left in an extraordinarily tight financial position that cannot sustain a standard maintenance programme let alone restoration projects (however worthy they may be for the long term future of our waterways).
Our campaign for the past 18 months has been emphasising that there was a risk that cuts like this would be forced upon BW. I can see why the IWA is criticising BW for poor consultation but surely the actual decision was inevitable? Wouldn't it be better not to just shoot the messenger, but also to wag your finger at the root of the problem, Defra or, I suspect, more accurately, the Treasury.
The great danger is that we now have had 18 months of below standard maintenance; remember the network is made up of 11,000 structures many of which are 200 years old. How many more breaches/collapses are waiting to happen?
If they do happen, will Government expect BW to close more restoration projects or will they listen and realise that they have to find an early solution to BW's funding crisis?
Methinks we need another massive letter writing campaign to MPs and local politicians. - 4 April 2008 01:00

This is a very sad day for canal enthusiasts. Whilst I see Will's point about prioritising available funds, I should defend the point of view expressed by the IWA. When any organisation joins a partnership, a commitment has been undertaken. Decisions have been taken on the basis of the current make-up of the partnership and when one of the promoters later pulls out, it threatens the whole viability of the partnership.
Where will it all end? Will BW abandon all dredging next? Close whole lengths of canals to save money?
What will happen to hire companies and canalside businesses that depend upon usage of the canal for their trade? There is a danger of a domino effect here. How long before someone starts looking at infilling of a canal as an economy measure?
Rationalising is all very well, but who decides where to draw the line? - 4 April 2008 01:01
originally posted 7th February
The IWA press release says BW had previously committed to fund £6 million but your link lists BW's input as only £1 million - a big difference.
BW's press release says only that they have invested £1.5 million to date, but not how much they are withdrawing.
Does anyone know which is right? It obviously makes a big difference; a shortfall of £1m might be made up from the other sources but £6m is most unlikely. - 4 April 2008 01:03

We stayed at Paradise Palms Resort for a two nights and were very satisfied with our stay. The rooms are really nice but to call it a resort is I think a bit misleading.. it is more like a country club with two swimming pools. It is probably great for families but for a romantic stay it was a little out of the way and you definitely need a car to go anywhere. There is not much to do at the hotel and it is a little far away to walk to the beach. Hotel staff were polite but it would be nice to have wifi in the rooms and not just a computer in the lobby.. although this is a problem everywhere in australia.

Tropical North Queensland's gateway, Cairns is 1 hour by boat from the world's largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef, and 100 km from the World Heritage Listed rainforests of Daintree and Cape Tribulation. Cairns, itself, offers plenty of dining options, Flecker Botanic Gardens, and stunning beaches – but swim within the anti-stinger enclosures. Nearby, world-class golf, white water rafting, diving, and snorkelling await.

"The real heart of Cairns"
I have stayed at Hides Hotel several times when visiting Cairns over the past decade. It is a grand old lady of pubs in the region, and many people may not realise what a dame she is. Sure, some of the facilities are a little basic. For the price though it is awesome value, and a great place to stay if you want to get to know the heart of Cairns. The […] free breakfast (cereal, toast, tea, coffee, juices, with recent additions of boiled eggs, noodles) on the historic balcony is a great way to start your day in the tropics. The location is actually the original cente point of Cairns CBD. Some may be put off by the older features in the heritage rooms, but I find these quaint links to Cairns when it was first settled. Underneath there is an Irish Pub, which does keep pumping some nights until 2am. So be prepared for the general hubub of night time revellers. At night you can sit on the balcony and meet other travellers. As I write in October 2013 there is a redevelopment happening, and the street below seating which used to be a magnet to loud and drunk people is being removed. This will change the whole street ambience and probably make Hides more appealing to some. But I love the pub as it is. Cheap, cheerful, old but historic and nothing plastic. Don't go there if you are a snob who wants total silence and all the modern conveniences. I lived in Cairns 25 years ago and Hides has always been the pub that everyone knew as 'the dear old centre of town'. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu

If you are looking for something no-frills and budget, this is a good option. We stayed at the heritage part of the hotel. It was a little old. Two of our pillows were torn, but the receptionist changed it for us. The bed was ok, comfy. The toilet was clean and spacious. Breakfast was great too. Better than expected. Had cup noodles,3 types of cereal, […] 3 types of toast, various jams and vegemite, two juices, coffee and a selection of tea., and boiled eggs. Receptionists were very helpful. Ask them to borrow hair dryers or bottle openers. Value for money - one of the cheapest in the area. Only thing to note is that the Cairns city centre is a little dodgy, but there are police patrolling the area. So depends on your comfort level. We could hear people arguing from our window.

The ratings my wife & I have given (above) are for the last 3 days after we moved room to the newer wing. We spent our first 3 nights in Heritage room #94 where the bathroom floor could have been cleaner, coffee/tea implements were missing, we had to ask for a kettle & TV to be fixed which were both promptly provided, no problem. Room opens to wide, […] common dining verandah - great but doubled-edged, coz the noise from street beyond kept us awake most nights eventhough we shut everything. Hotel staff & manager were great & we aim to stay here again but in the newer wing & still enjoy the heritage feel of the breakfast room & shared verandah. Central location of Hides is hard to beat coz just about everything Cairns city offers is not more than an easy stroll away.... One suggestion for management is make Wi-Fi internet free like how other venues are doing. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu

It was very disappointing and not suitable for my needs at all. The rooms where very basic and not very clean, I was upgraded to a superior room and was confronted with a […] dying cockroach as soon as I walked in to my room.

Certainly a great location. Centre of town and handy to all amenities and everything else you might require. Staff courteous and helpful. Good, but not flash, breakfast. Room was spacious and clean. I like the fact that the shower taps are outside the shower. Great idea!Aito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Good bargin"
Small clean room. No private bathroom, public bathroom with entire floor. 4 showers, 2 toilets. Breakfast is better than I thought, coffee, juice, cereal, boiled eggs, toast. A café breakfast will add another $15 per day. So the included breakfast is a good deal. The neighborhood is surrounded by backpacker hostels and bars, so there are many young […] people staying around the area getting drunk and staying up late. Though I thought the hotel was quite.

"Beware: You get what you pay for"
There are several things to be ware of and I wish I had know this from reading the other reviews: 1. Shared BATH: means that six to seven people will be sharing a bath, shower and bathroom facilities. it does not mean you have a bathroom between a connecting room. 2. the cheaper rooms are musty and they tried to convert this to a room. and it is bad 3. […] The HOTEL is NOISY..the entire night. not from the partiers,,,you CAN hear the traffic outside all night long and you can never sleep. 4.

Gold exchange traded funds have revolutionized gold investment around the world over the past decade.

There was no timetable laid out for the introduction of the ETFs. CSRC officials said they need to study throughily how to protect investor interests in the new products. But clearly this is something of a red letter day for gold.

Buy American Mention of the Week (4-27-13)
- Details
- Category: News
April 27, 2013 Welcome to Roger Simmermaker's "Buy American Mention of the Week" created specifically for consumer patriots who want to Buy American and contribute to a more-prosperous America.
Everyone has heard of outsourcing and offshoring, but not everyone realizes the negative economic consequences to the nation that results from the closing of domestic manufacturing plants and the shipping of those jobs overseas. Replacing American workers with foreign workers adds to our U.S. trade deficit, increases the unemployment rate, deprives our national treasury of tax revenue (workers in foreign countries don't pay taxes to America), and puts the formerly employed Americans in unemployment lines which works to further drain our national treasury.
Perhaps still fewer Americans realize that there are ways to combat the offshoring of our jobs to other countries, either by supporting patriotic organizations that have a proven track record of fighting the offshoring trend, by simply becoming more educated about American choices as consumers, or both.
By visiting www.reshorenow.org, you can learn about and lend your support to an organization that has helped keep jobs in America by showing companies contemplating offshoring American jobs the total cost of doing so and how it might not make monetary sense. How does www.reshorenow.org sway these companies to stay in the United States?

Buy American Mention of the Week - All-American food and beverage
There's a lot of talk these days about how America should not be dependent on foreign oil, but what about independence from other items like the food we eat and the beverages we drink? Isn't that just as important, if not more so because we want to ensure our food products are safe to consume? As we import more of our food products from other countries, we want to be confident that they are produced with the same level of safety as food in the United States, but this is not always the case. If we can find domestic sources for our food, then we have one less thing to worry about when it comes to our health.
Kentucky House overrides 'religious freedom' bill veto from Gov. Beshear

- Category: News
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Kentucky House Democrats voted Monday night to override a gubernatorial veto of controversial legislation known as the [Troglodyte] "religious freedom" bill.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, declined to give a final tally for the vote to override Gov. Steve Beshear's veto of House Bill 279. The vote was taken behind closed doors in the House Democratic caucus late Monday. It was not clear if the full House was going to vote on the bill later Monday.
It takes 51 votes to override a gubernatorial veto. House Bill 279 passed the Democratic-controlled House 82-7 earlier this session. Monday was the 29th day of the 30-day session.
Stumbo said the discussion was heated.

Hoplongjo having ACI on 13/1/09
December 17, 2008, 09:58:43 PM »
I had the first stage nearly 3 weeks ago and still sore from that - having second stage on 13/1/09.
Potted history: Scope left knee 2006 at local general hospital = 2cm mfc defect. Told to go away and come back in 20 years for knee replacement (was 40 then).
A back specialist had done the scope and made the 20 year decision. I refused to leave OS room until I was referred to knee specialist. He reluctantly agreed and referred me to Mr Skinner at RNOH and in the meantime recommended Synvisc.
Mr Skinner was happy that I was happy with the Synvisc results (he was relieved that someone found it worked
) and reviewed me 6 monthly until the right knee joined the party. I then had 2 courses of Synvisc over a year period in both knees.
The right knee then got worse and they decided to scope it just under 3 weeks ago following an MRI which just showed soft tissue swelling. I was expecting a 'sorry, but nothing we can do for you', but instead was told 'good news, you're suitable for a ACI - there's a 1.5cm mfc defect. We've taken the biopsy - come back in 6 weeks'.
So here I am wishing away the next 3 and a bit weeks so I can leave this stage of panic behind me. I am so pleased this site is here because I haven't been told anything more than I'll be in a knee brace for 6 weeks. I think I have read every ACI story from start to finish on here and am trying to focus on the positives.
If it's successful then I'll also be having the left knee done at some point in the future.

nope, just distracted. You can fix the title, although I'm a bit fuzzy on exactly how
Are you having any other procedures along with the ACI? It does make some difference in the rehab from what I've seen. At least you don't have to deal with the insurance companies for this.
Getting ready for the aftermath can help take up some of the next few weeks, stocking up on things to keep you occupied, etc. I really recommend a shower seat of some kind. It really helps when you can't bend your leg.
Just remember this is a marathon, not a sprint for recovery and sometimes it seems like you're not moving forward even when you are.
Good Luck

As far as I know it's just ACI - I wasn't told there was anything else involved. Here's hoping it will be one of the easier recoveries
I think I've more or less got everything I need now - shower seat and raised toilet seat amongst other things, not forgetting two children having a crash course in cooking! I've cooked for the freezer, got a number for a cleaning company and handing front door keys to all willing takers
I read somewhere on here that you have to judge how you're recovering in terms of weeks or months, not days, so I will have to remind myself of that frequenty I'm sure.
I'm hoping I've managed to change the title.....

Good luck with your surgery. The one thing that I learned is that as you recover it is best not to compare your progress to the progress of everyone else on the board. I too read every post op diary on this board regarding ACI and I often compared myself to everyone else. At times, it seemed that I was behind in my recovery and I would stress myself out thinking that my surgery was not going to be a success. In the long run, it turns out that my new cartilage turned out good, even if it seemed that I was always a step behind every one else in my rehab. It is a hard recovery, but the end results are worth it. Let us know how things turn out.

Well, I made it home yesterday and am now 4 days post-op. The good news is that I am PWB instead of NWB which I was told before the op. I didn't have to have a cast for 3 days either.
The hospital stay was good and not so good...the nurses were fantastic - really couldn't have been more helpful. I had been moved to a rehab ward post op because my bed was needed for a male patient. The trouble with that was that I was away from any other patients having had similar ops and I can't be certain, but I felt I had been overlooked by the doctors and physio. I should have been fitted with the brace on the day after the op but the doctor forgot to order it and physio didn't know I existed. The doctor, having been reminded by the nurses, filled out the form to order the brace, but didn't send it to the right department, so still no brace. Two doctors came round to see me on the Thursday morning (now 2 days post op) to ask me how I was feeling. I expressed my concern about not having seen a physio or brace and they got things moving. Physio came to fit the brace and left me rapidly telling me she wasn't part of my surgeon's team, so that was as much as she could do! I still hadn't been out of bed at this stage other than to use a commode. So there I lay for the best part of that day in the brace. At about 4pm that day 'my' physio arrived and told me the brace had been fitted incorrectly and they needed a new one
. Fortunately she managed to find the physio who fitted it and she managed to adjust it without the need to wait for another new one.
Now it gets better thankfully.....with the brace correctly fitted I was shown how to walk which opened up a whole new world for me. I could get to a toilet! (with assistance
) The following morning I tackled steps and then felt confident enough to go home.
I'm on that steep learning curve at the moment trying not to become too frustrated with myself, other people and everything else everywhere lol!! I've managed to have a shower today which has made a big difference to how I feel in myself.
I have to do 15 x heel slides and 15 static quads every 2 hours which I'm struggling with, but doing as much as I can but not yet brave enough to hang my leg over the arm of the chair yet. The doctor said I could do that, but the physio didn't mention it, so not worrying too much about that yet. I should be going to physio next Friday and the brace should be unlocked then.....onwards and upwards.......

Hi mate,
Glad to hear your on the mend, I have a couple of questions to ask if you dont mind.
How long did it take for you to see someone at the RNOH from your initial referal to them?
When you first saw someone at the RNOH how long approx was the appointment and did you have X RAYs/MRIs the same day
How long from that first appointment at the RNOH did it take to go under the knife for first stage
and lastly was your defect on the weight bearing part of your MFC? and did they say why you could PWB as oposedto NWB?
sorry so many questions, cheers

Thinking back, these would be approximate times/dates:
From initial referral from local hospital to RNOH - 3 months
Saw Mr Skinner at 1st appt for about 20 mins. I did feel rushed as he was running 1 1/2 hours behind...this is not uncommon
- take a good book. I had x-rays taken before seeing him. I was there for my left knee, not the one I've just had done.
Following appts are done by Registrars with x-rays each time to monitor how things are going. At the time my left knee joined in they arranged an MRI - took 1 week to get appt and 3 months for the results!! Because it only showed soft tissue swelling but not the reason for it I had a scope and was offered that within a week which I refused and requested it a month later which was accommodated. They said they have to offer the scope within 12 weeks.
After the scope I had to wait 6 weeks for the ACI. So, in total if you count from when the right knee became enough of a problem for me to want to do something about it, from start to finish it would have been about 5 months.
Hope that makes sense..I'm still on Tramadol
5 months.

Sorry, forgot to answer all the questions..
I'm assuming it must have been a NWB part of the MFC . When the docs come to see you....eventually... it's all very rushed and because there were issues to deal with about the brace and lack of physio I didn't think to ask that question. I think I was also just glad I could PWB. Add to that the Oromorph and the right questions are neither here nor there
I'm due back there in 6 weeks where I'll ask more.
What stage are you at?

I was refered tothem about a week ago, I was hoping to have the op just after summer as i have some commitments over that peroid which would be hard to do with the recovery thats involved with this op.
Thanks for answering the questions and keep us updated on your recovery.

Welcome to the other side- it always seems weird to me that some doctors don't do a CPM. Heel slides just don't seem to be the same, but it works apparently.
Good luck with the start of your rehab

Thank you Diana...tell you what though, the language is more fruity on 'the other side'
I don't think my kids knew I knew such words. I just got into bed and didn't do it quite right
I lost the support I was giving with my good leg and my bad one slipped down to the floor too fast.
I know they use CPMs at RNOH if you get into problems later during rehab but not as routine it seems.

The RCCO connects Medicaid clients to Medicaid providers and also helps Medicaid clients find community and social services in their area. The RCCO helps providers to communicate with Medicaid clients and with each other, so Medicaid clients receive coordinated care. A RCCO will also help Medicaid clients get the right care when they are returning home from the hospital or a nursing facility, by providing the support needed for a quick recovery. A RCCO helps with other care transitions too, like moving from children's health services to adult health services, or moving from a hospital to nursing care.

The prosecution in John Edwards' campaign finance trial put its star witness on the stand Monday. Edwards faces six felony charges of violating federal campaign finance law and faces a potential 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine if convicted on all charges. YNN's Ed Scannell reports.
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- The prosecution in John Edwards' campaign finance trial put its star witness on the stand on Monday. Prosecutor David Harbach questioned Andrew Young about his relationship with John Edwards, how he came to know him and eventually work for him. And before the end of the court day, Young testified that Edwards told him to follow up with Rachel Bunny Mellon about a potential $1 million donation and eventually arranged a meeting between Edwards and Mellon to discuss how she might help his presidential bid.
Edwards is charged with conspiring to violate federal campaign finance laws and with accepting and receiving more than $900,000 in illegal campaign donations from Mellon and Fred Baron, his then campaign finance manager, in 2007 and 2008.
During his opening statement, Harbach said the donations were meant to conceal Edwards' extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter to protect his candidacy.
Defense attorney Allison Van Laningham told jurors that neither Edwards nor his campaign committee received the donations - not a penny, she said.
Van Laningham said the money was personal, not political, and that Edwards' only motive was to conceal the affair to spare his ailing wife and his family humiliation.
