The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Uptimed
Conspiracy of the Undead
Who has the longest uptime? Linux systems used to win hands down when it comes to maximum uptime without rebooting. Today, uptime statistics help admins with monitoring tasks and discovering tricky bugs.
The times when I showed off servers with 1,000 days of uptime to make my colleagues from the Windows team jealous are long gone. If I get caught with a Methuselah like this today, I can expect to answer embarrassing questions about whether I am afraid of kernel updates. (The answer to this is: Yes! I use some fairly exotic RAID controllers now because I shot myself in the foot when I updated to 2.6.27 – ouch!)
Security freaks tell scary stories about the exploits they guess will work on systems that nobody has bothered booting for a year or so. Bragging can't be the only reason why so many admins use Uptimed [1], a daemon that logs a system's uptime over an extended period of time. It makes sense for devices that are not otherwise accessible for monitoring, for reasons of location or security – you get to know exactly when the power supply last failed, or a hardware component died on you.
You can use the /etc/uptimed.conf configuration file to control Uptimed's behavior. The entry
tells the tool to restrict the list of saved uptimes to 20 readable entries.
lets me tell the daemon not to start writing entries until the computer has achieved at least 12 hours of uptime. This makes sense to suppress the intermezzi between two successive reboots, as would be the case if you need to repair or rebuild and try out a new kernel module (you guessed it, my RAID controllers…). You can also define milestones in the configuration file, and have the software notify you by mail when the server reaches one.
The Uptimed package includes the Uprecords client, which exhibits the acquired data in a nicely formatted list on the console. To keep things readable, I restricted the uprecords -s -m3 output to the last three entries. There is a reason I choose my video disk recorder for this – it freezes from time to time, and I wanted Uptimed to help me discover some method to the madness of these crashes. Unfortunately, there wasn't one: I guess the hardware is broken, just as I suspected.

Washington, D.C. – September 1, 2010 Antiochia USA LLC, a Maryland-based natural bath and body products company, announces the availability of its new Eco Wrap towel collection at Washington D.C. Green Festival, October 23-24.
"We took the towel used in the traditional Turkish Bath and made it an essential piece of our product line. We called it "Eco Wrap". This lightweight alternative for thicker terry-cloth towels is in fact a part of a long cultural tradition." says, Berna Rodman, Owner of Antiochia.
Eco Wrap leaves a smaller carbon print on the planet as it washes easily and dries quickly; using less energy and less detergent than traditional terry towels.
It is very absorbent yet Eco Wrap will take only as much space as a t-shirt in your wash load.
Lighweight and elegant, it can be used as as a towel or wrap, an after shower cover‐up, or a pareo, cover over a swimsuit.
You can use it anywhere: bath, fitness, beaches, pools, saunas, spas, trips.
Eco Wrap will save space in your suitcase and in your gymbag.
Each piece is woven at traditional hand looms. They are machine washable and can be tumble dried. Antiochia gladly customizes the sizes upon request. The standard sizes include bath towel (30 x 70 in) and hand towel (20 x 39 in).
"Thanks for these amazing towels! I needed something light-weight and that would roll into a small space to pack into my Navy kit. I recently spent 2 months on a U.S. Navy vessel where space is limited and getting towels to dry out between using is nearly impossible under normal conditions." says Will, a Navy officer.
"I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVE my Turkish bath towel. It absorbs water just like a giant bath towel but doesn't feel heavy and wet – and it doesn't take up much room in the washer!! I love that I can just towel off and wrap it around like a sarong and wear it. I can't tell you how many times I've tried something new and been disappointed – not this time! Thank you. " says Eli Burnham, a loyal customer, living in Silver Spring, MD.

Very nice desk. The instructions were ok, but I've seen better Sometimes the illustrations showed angles that weren't really clear. In particular, the pieces were not labeled and ALL hardware was simply mixed together in a bag. I didn't have too much trouble though because the pieces were sort of distinctive, but I can image that a novice furniture assembler would have trouble. It would have been nice to have a large sheet of paper that could have been used as a template to really see the layout of the desk on the wall. Especially since I was planning to install a multimedia cable channel behind the desk. It was hard to determine its best location. Also, assembly called for hanging across 3 studs. That's fine if your studs are the typical 16 inch separation, but our room has studs 23 inches apart so getting 3 was not feasible. Hardware should have included ancors for cases like mine. Also, wish there was a small area for cable runs INSIDE the shelves. Overall though I am pleased with the desk.
Went together easily. Front corner of the top on the desk was damaged in shipping. When I called customer service, they were very helpful and shipped a new top out to me. That piece arrived in good condition.
Solid product w/simple & functional design. Looks great. Carpener assembled and affixed it, so I don't know if assembly is suitable for layperson.
Bought 2 of them for my kids rooms. Good design, look very nice and modern. But they have a horrible smell that won't go away after 1 month. The high emission of fumes/odor is a NO for me. I definitely don't recommend this product.
I needed a desk for my craft room but did not want one that would take up too much space. This wall hung unit fit the bill perfectly. It was easy to hang, the price was right, and it looks perfect in its new space.
this would have cost a lot more to get a carpenter to build so good value and great idea
Very nice product. I very happy with it! It was just what I was looking for!

First version is out now! Below are some teaser images of where things are right now. I just love comics as it reminds me of being a little kid reading them at the breakfast table. I used the classic "Peanuts" for these images.
Also note that some features have not made it into the initial release (viewing similar comics, advanced sharing, basic settings, etc); been so busy lately with other things in life. A later release will add those things. The app will support all comics and editorial cartoons from comics.com (around 154 different toons in total!) except for Dilbert. Dilbert for whatever reason is the only comic that has a special site for comics.com. I'll work on adding support for it later.

"If you are planning a consultation, you must first ensure that control of the process stays in corporate and government hands. Minimal public notice, short time frames, distant or expensive venues, and hired guns (process consultants) are all techniques that have been used successfully. It is also important to restrict citizen participation to the smallest number you can get away with. This may or may not include whatever segment of the public poses the greatest threat to the policy or development being proposed."
The Cancer Epidemic as a Social Event
cancer.pdf (application/pdf Object)
"Critics of the war on cancer argue that it has largely been a failure. The widespread belief that
we are making progress against cancer is an illusion. The vaunted increases in five year survival
rates are misleading according to the critics because they now count things that are not
cancer and because they are able to diagnose real cancer at an earlier stage, people appear to
survive longer."
"We can win the war against cancer. The best available research is necessary, but not sufficient,
for our victory. Cancer research is designed and undertaken, and the results published and acted
upon, in a deeply political context. The social, political and economic changes necessary to win
the war against cancer will require more than research alone. It will also require collective action,
the uniting of movements that have operated for the most part independently."
Social Watch Canada2008 - Centre for Policy Alternatives: "Rights, budgets and building alternatives"

"The Government of Canada, as a signatory to several key UN treaties, including the Covenant on Economic
Social and Cultural Rights and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against
Women (CEDAW), has committed to ensure that Canada respects its human rights commitments
to all its citizens. These rights include but are not exclusive to access to justice, affordable housing,
access to education and employment as well as the appropriate provisions to ensure women's equality
and implement "appropriate measures" to fulfill Canada's obligations under CEDAW.
Canadian federal budgets from the last decade have ignored these obligations and have, indeed,
made things worse for women and vulnerable populations. While Canada does hold limited open
pre-budget consultations with non-governmental organizations and claims to do a high level of gender
budgeting, the focus of federal governments have moved away from sustained social and strategic
investments towards an aggressive tax cut agenda."

Canada's aging population will not create a crisis in health

Cancer Surgery in Ontario, Chapter 7, Surgery for Ovarian Cancer.pdf (application/pdf Object)
Key Findings:
• Nearly three quarters (73 percent) of women
diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2003/04 received
surgery within a year of diagnosis.
• Almost all procedures (96 percent) were done in an
inpatient hospital setting.
• Some Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs)
appeared to serve as referral centres for women with
ovarian cancer. For example, 223 surgical procedures
for the disease were done in facilities located in the
Toronto Central LHIN during the study period.
However, only 56 of these (25 percent) were for
patients who resided in the Toronto Central LHIN at
the time they were diagnosed.
• The most common surgical procedure performed
on women with ovarian cancer was unilateral or
bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (USO/BSO) with
omentectomy; this was undergone by 58 percent
of women in the study cohort. Other procedures
included USO/BSO alone (27 percent) and USO/BSO
with pelvic or para-aortic lymph node excision
(8.1 percent). (blogger's comment: not standard of care)
• While gynecologic oncologists comprised just 6.5
percent of surgeons who performed surgery for
ovarian cancer in Ontario during the study period,
these sub-specialists did 49 percent of all procedures.
• Six out of 10 surgeries for ovarian cancer (60 percent)
were done in academic (teaching) hospitals.

Oral Sodium Phosphate (OSP) Products for Bowel Cleansing Information
FDA has become aware of reports of acute phosphate nephropathy, a type of acute kidney injury, associated with the use of oral sodium phosphate products (OSP) for bowel cleansing prior to colonoscopy or other procedures. These products include the prescription products, Visicol and OsmoPrep, and OSPs available over-the-counter without a prescription as laxatives (e.g., Fleet Phospho-soda). In some cases when used for bowel cleansing, these serious adverse events have occurred in patients without identifiable factors that would put them at risk for developing acute kidney injury. We cannot rule out, however, that some of these patients were dehydrated prior to ingestion of OSPs or they did not drink sufficient fluids after ingesting OSP.

One of every 35 patients with CRC has LS, and each has at least three relatives with LS; all of whom can benefit from increased cancer surveillance. For screening, IHC is almost equally sensitive as MSI, but IHC is more readily available and helps to direct gene testing. Limiting tumor analysis to patients who fulfill Bethesda criteria would fail to identify 28% (or one in four) cases of LS.

people living with cancer and their families......Naturally, people do not always fit neatly into one of these

cancer—and the clinicians who serve them must resist being
constrained within arbitrary silos of services....." cont'd

Uptake of clinical genetic testing for ovarian cancer in Ontario: A population-based study
Kelly A. Metcalfea, b, , , Isabel Fanc, John McLaughlinc, Harvey A. Rischd, Barry Rosene, Joan Murphye, Linda Bradleyc, Susan Armele, Ping Sunb and Steven A. Narodb aLawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada bWomen's College Research Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada cMount Sinai Research Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada dDepartment of Epidemiology and Public Health, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA eDepartment of Gynecology, University Health Network, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Received 7 August 2008.
Approximately 13% of ovarian cancers in Canada are attributable to a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2. In 2001, genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 became freely available to all women in Ontario with a diagnosis of invasive ovarian cancer. It is unknown what proportion of women with ovarian cancer receive genetic testing as a result of this recommendation.
Patients in Ontario who had been diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer from 2002 to 2004 were identified using the Ontario Cancer Registry. Information was collected on demographic and risk factors, including information on previous testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2. Women were asked to provide a blood sample for genetic testing or to provide a genetic test result if clinical testing had been done. Genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations was conducted on all blood samples.
Of the 416 women, 80 women (19%) had undergone previous clinical genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2. Of these 80 women, 30% had a positive genetic test result, compared to 5% of 336 women who had not had clinical genetic testing (p <>
Genetic testing is available in Ontario to all women with invasive ovarian cancer. However, only a small proportion of women are being referred for testing. This study suggests that increased public awareness directed at physicians and at women with cancer may expand the use of genetic testing.

PLoS Medicine - Ovarian Carcinoma Subtypes Are Different Diseases: Implications for Biomarker Studies
Although it has long been appreciated that ovarian carcinoma subtypes (serous, clear cell, endometrioid, and mucinous) are associated with different natural histories, most ovarian carcinoma biomarker studies and current treatment protocols for women with this disease are not subtype specific. With the emergence of high-throughput molecular techniques, distinct pathogenetic pathways have been identified in these subtypes. We examined variation in biomarker expression rates between subtypes, and how this influences correlations between biomarker expression and stage at diagnosis or prognosis.

Does Age Really Matter? Recall of Information Presented to Newly Referred Patients With Cancer -- Jansen et al. 26 (33): 5450 -- Journal of Clinical Oncology
"Conclusion: Recall is not simply a function of patient age. Age only predicts recall when controlling for amount of information presented. Both prognosis and information about prognosis are better predictors of recall than age. These results provide important insights into intervention strategies to improve information recall in patients with cancer"

Ovarian cancer detection and treatment: current situation and future prospects - abstract
Ovarian cancer detection and treatment: current si...[Anticancer Res. 2008 Sep-Oct] - PubMed Result: "Ovarian cancer detection and treatment: current situation and future prospects.

Between 70 and 75% of ovarian carcinomas are not discovered until they have reached an advanced stage III or later. Efforts should therefore be concentrated on earlier diagnosis. Ovarian cancer is not an entirely silent disease. Today, it is known that there are key symptoms which, depending on their frequency and intensity, can serve as warning signs to clinicians and patients. Mass screening for ovarian cancer is not currently possible because of a lack of specific markers for use in biological and imaging techniques, although new markers are now being developed. Screening every six or twelve months with the CA 125 blood test plus a transvaginal ultrasound is restricted to women at risk. Certain teams have proposed preventive bilateral adnexectomy for such women. The ovary is a complex organ subjected to a hormonal environment and affected by immune system dysfunctions. There now appears to be consensus on the influence of hormones in ovarian cancer, namely the beneficial role of pregnancy, breast feeding and in particular oral contraception, as well as the deleterious role of hormone replacement therapy(HRT).
However, the two main arguments put forward, incessant ovulation and exposure to gonadotropins, do not explain all the epidemiological data. It is through a better understanding of the etiology of ovarian cancer that new therapies can be developed. The theory of cancer immune surveillance, whereby lymphocytes have a sentinel role of recognizing and constantly suppressing malignant cells, provided a starting point for research into antitumoral immunotherapy. The first trials of vaccination by direct injection of tumor antigens or "loaded" dendritic cells today offer considerable hope for patients.

Cancer Surgery in Ontario, Chapter 7, Surgery for Ovarian Cancer.pdf (application/pdf Object)
More research is needed to better
understand why the use of cancer
staging procedures—such as
omentectomy and lymph node
excision—varied among women in
the study cohort who underwent
surgery for ovarian cancer.
Plans for expanding surgical services
related to the treatment of ovarian
cancer in Ontario should factor in the
existing referral patterns among Local
Health Integration Networks (LHINs).
There are relatively few gynecologic
oncologists in Ontario; these subspecialists
provide care to a large
number of women with ovarian cancer.
Further evaluation is required—both
in terms of the role of gynecologic
oncologists in treating women with
ovarian cancer, and also whether the
supply of these specialists will be
sufficient to meet future demand.
• While the incidence of ovarian cancer among Ontario women increased with age in 2003/04, the probability of surgical treatment decreased. About three-quarters (73 percent) of women in the Overall Ovarian Cancer Cohort underwent a surgical procedure related to the diagnosis and treatment of their disease.
• There was no clear relationship between women's socioeconomic status and whether they had surgery for ovarian cancer. However, those living in regions with the lowest neighbourhood income were less likely than all others to have ovarian cancer-related surgery. (duh?)
• Rates of ovarian cancer-related surgery ranged across Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) of patient residence—from a low of 58 percent among women living in the North West LHIN to a high of 88 percent among those residing in the Erie St. Clair LHIN.
Lymph node excision was done in just eight percent of women with ovarian cancer
During the study period, gynecologic oncologists comprised about seven percent of all physicians performing ovarian cancer
surgery in Ontario. Yet these sub-specialists performed nearly half (49) percent of all the surgeries among women in the
Ovarian Cancer Surgery Cohort.
Obstetrician/gynecologists performed 40 percent of surgeries on women in this study cohort; the remaining 12 percent of
procedures were done by physicians with other specialties.
Gynecologic oncologists were more likely than obstetrician/gynecologists to perform omentectomy (70 percent vs. 44 percent respectively) and lymph node excision (13 percent vs. six percent

Numyth Aether Titanium Toothpick Video Review
Posted: November 30th, 2011 | Author: kayakinchris | Filed under: Gear, Going Gear, Outdoors, Preparations | Tags: numyth, titanium, toothpick | No Comments »Another high end product from our own Numyth brand, we present to you the Aether Titanium Toothpick. Not just for picking out the parts of food in between your teeth, the Aether was made from titanium alloy, which is great for any kind of medical use thanks to titanium's natural resistance to oxidation from water or other fluids. The toothpick comes in a titanium case with two separate caps. The purpose for the dual cap is that the tootpick can be exposed by either a minimal amount at the tip (one of the ends of the tootpick is threaded which allows it to remain attached to the cap), or can be removed entirely. The casing for the Aether is fitted with a stainless steel split ring, making it easy to attach to a keychain or zipper if needed be.

EAP for Employers
Employee Assistance Program – for Employers
Why offer the Employee Assistance Program (EAP)?
Everyone faces problems from time to time. Sometimes, the problems become overwhelming and dramatically affect our lives, including work. Offering the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to your employees shows you genuinely care for their well-being. Employees who can deal with their problems are more productive in their work and personal lives.
To learn more about how your organization can benefit from an EAP program, call (920) 720-1090.
The Impact of Stress
- Stress costs employers $200 billion per year in the United States.
- The majority of industrial accidents result from stress.
- Stress causes between 75 to 90 percent of doctor visits.
- Personal problems, rather than technical factors, cause most employee terminations.
How the EAP Helps Your Workers
The EAP staff members are highly-trained, licensed mental health professionals with expertise in evaluation, early intervention and counseling.
Areas in which the EAP can help are:
- relationship issues
- divorce and separation
- financial and legal concerns
- alcohol and drug problems
- work concerns
- depression and anxiety
- parenting issues
- gambling problems
- other on-site classes and programs
The EAP is completely confidential.
How the EAP Helps Businesses
For every dollar invested in EAP, businesses avoid a $5 to $7 loss. EAP can help reduce sick leave by 37 percent.

Oh, the common fallicy of the "Social Security" arguement. First of all, Social Security could ONLY be a government money handout if the payee had not already paid INTO the program. The fact that Social Security monies deposited are not quite equal to what will be withdrawn is a testiment to the government's poor planning and managment of the program. A program which is FORCED upon all employees in the United States. (I dare you, refuse to pay SS AND Medicare taxes, see what happens.) Next on your list, subsidized loans: these are not "hand-outs" since the contract demands that the amounts be repaid in full with interest. This is a commerical arrangement, where the borrower is a customer who pays for what they get. So how is that a hand out? Hmmm? And then for homeowners insurance: again, this is a commercial arrangement, where the value of the item is paid for by the buyer. The government has done a poor job of managing this program as well. But again, for people who PAY FOR or BUY the coverage it is not a handout.
So let's look at the real handouts: Food Stamps (get food for free, I just have to be "poor" or jobless), Housing Assistance (free rent or lower rent because I'm poor or jobless), medicaid (free or very low cost medical care because I'm "poor" or jobless), free lunch (free food because I'm "poor"), EBT cards (free money to spend on WHATEVERY I want because I'm "poor" or "jobless"). How about corporate subsidies (free $) for large corporations because they "mismanage" their business but are too big to fail? How about the money the government pays farmers NOT to grow crops (free $).
I also love it how you immediately call someone who disagrees with the hand-outs an Anti-American. Man, oh, man, you call names (showing your hatred and bias), and hope that people will cower at your eloquence. Instead, you showed that you really don't understand the difference between commerce/business (pay for what you get) and a Hand-out (free stuff you did nothing to deserve).
Yikes! I feel so sorry for you. . . . .
Romney and Ryan wanted to end medicare and Social security was next on their chopping block. Oh and BTW that 47 percent of so called moochers by Romney were those on social security. How's that redgirl?

A reasonable number of contemporary portraits of Leicester still exist, and he was particularly interested in his own image. He is shown here in a brilliant red suit wearing the badge of the Order of the Garter. It is possible that this picture was originally a full-length portrait which has been cut down. Some of the artist's preparatory drawing, particularly in the face, has become visible on the surface of the painting over time.

GOP has to stop its foolish use of rerun candidates, the candidates whose lingering power is stronger than their political principles. McCain and Romney were both primary challengers to GWB in 2000. McCain resurfaced in 2008 with no clear reasons for running other than that he was a POW and Obama wasn´t. Romney tried again in 2008 and succeeded in 2012. But why? Like McCain, he offered remarkable personal decency, but little in the way of a truly conservative philosophy. Neither man was prepared for the incredibly negative attacks of Obama nor able to clearly explain why they were running. Nice guys without clear political beliefs do finish last.

I think that Mr. McCarthy has a valid point. I don´t think they were able to steal 11 million votes. The two parties are very much alike and like it the way it is. It cannot be changed from the top down. There is no difference between the two parties as the article pointed out and as did many poster here did during the primary. Tea Party, build from the base up, build from local elections up, gain the majority and the power. We can´t topple them we need to divide and conquer to replace them.

It is pure hokum that Romney didn´t run as a conservative (or isn´t one), didn´t run against Obamacare, didn´t raise Benghazi as an issue - he did all of those things. As I posted on another thread yesterday, I believe there was a strong but silent undercurrent of anti-Mormon bigotry at play here. Not among conservatives (but where were they on Election Day?), but among others who didn´t want to vote for Obama but did because they couldn´t vote for a Mormon. Click Here if you Like this Comment
If Romney lost because he wasn´t sufficientl;y conservative (which I don´t believe for a minute) then how do you explain the losses of "purer" conservatives such as Mia Love (her state went for Romney), Akin, Mandel, Mourdock, and (apparently) West? Granted Akin and Mourdock--and to some extent, Mandel--are blockheads, but shouldn´t the purity of their conservatism have overcome that, if it´s truly what the majority wants? I feel bad about Love; she never put a foot wrong, as far as I can see. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Well, McCarthy doesn´t have a lot of new facts here, we still need another couple of weeks to tell us exactly what happened.A lot of voters of BOTH sides probably stayed home in big blue states like California and New York. Have to focus separately on the battlegrounds. Click Here if you Like this Comment
The Republican Party needs to face a few facts. Evangelicals, Ronulans, libertarians, and bigots of all stripes are not going to vote for them... neither are many litmus-test conservatives. Evangelicals, in particular, believe we are in the end times and will not lift a finger to postpone them. Republicans need to move on from all these voters and re-build its message as best it can... not easy to do with all the forces arrayed against it. Darkness has fallen and, honestly, I don´t know if we´ll ever see a constitutional America again. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Excellent analysis. Kudos to Mr. McCarthy. Prior to the election, I discussed and argued the election choices with a number of men. These men were not ideological liberals, nor were they staunch social conservatives or evangelicals. However, they were overwhelmingly cynical. They were convinced that the politicians, both Democrat and Republican, were all crooks and traveling down the same road.I voted for Romney, as did my entire family.However, I have never been greatly enthused because, I´ve realized for man years that Romney was not a reformer. There was no credible candidate, including Romney, who beat the drum and shouted from the rooftops that he would do something about the corruption.That is why I was so disappointed that Sarah did not run. I wanted to see Obama nailed for his crony ventures and paybacks by someone with a history as a reformer. That´s the only thing that could have excited me, and perhaps even the cynics I spoke with.

Who stayed home? My county turned out 90% of the registered voters. And we voted 4 to 1 for Romney. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Andy McCarthy pens a lucid truth and the paranoids are out in force w/their lame excuses; voter fraud, anti-Mormon bigoty, treason etc. Principled conservatives warned in vain about Dudley-Do-Right from day one but we were told to buzz off. The majority of voters understood in their souls that Obama was out of his depth but they related to him because of who he was w/his troubled upbringing and all. As for Willard, they also understood that fine breeding, good manners and proper schooling are the hallmarks of the pretentious rich and had nothing to do w/them. Perhaps most critically, when it came to policy, voters grasped that Willard was for anything, everything and nothing, all in the same sentence; Romneycare being Exhibit A. Yet despite the stone cold fact that Willard was a modish lefty in the Rockefeller mold, w/o any core; the DC establishment insisted he was the Man. Hey they don´t call the GOP the stupid party for nothing. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I admire and respect Andrew McCarthy immensely. But.... I am firmly and thoroughly convinced there was massive fraud perpetrated against Romney and Republicans. It´s only a matter of time, with the proper persistence of the right people, before it´s known. I pray it´s not too late by that time as it may already be too late.But I DON´T want to hear these excuses and ´´oh well´s´´. We´ve been had. Our side DID turn out....the polls were NOT wrong.

I think it was partly racism against the somewhat blonde blue-eyed white couple.

It is indeed shocking that so many who voted the last time did not this time. It does not follow, however, that they stayed home because they thought they had no choice between the two candidates. Here are a couple of other possibilities: The population may have increased but many are still too young to vote. It may be that the WWII generation is dying off or is too infirm to vote and that the voting population has decreased. Some people just couldn´t bring themselves to vote for a Mormon--and I´m sorry to say that this is true of some, not all,evangelicals. There was no enthusiasm for either side this year--unlike in 2008 when both Obama and Palin brought out the crowds. Candidate likeability makes a difference. Click Here if you Like this Comment
There were reports & even photos the day of the election about voter intemidation for 0bama at the polling places & the actual security of the vote, yet after the count, we have read nothing from any investigations, much less any inquiries by the Congress, regarding any accountability.

Well, if this election is going to be looked at by who´s voters stayed home, then Mitt Romney won by 7,000 votes. GOP had 3k less than last time, but the Dem side had 10K less. I feel slightly better, thanks McCarthy. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Isn´t it obvious that the reason Romney was all of the above? Voter fraud, voters who stayed home, and the reason mentioned above in these replies. Click Here if you Like this Comment
I encourage everyone to follow the ZeroHedge link to the blog post "It doesn´t matter" The point there is that we are already over the fiscal cliff some time ago - not in a few weeks time. Romney thought he could be president by running against a total disaster of a president. I don´t doubt that vote fraud plays a part but the point of this article is that Romney was also painting a rose coloured view of the present situation and the solution. Now we must rely on the cry baby as our leader! The problem will get worse before it gets better, Obama will do as he pleases, and we are already sliding down the cliff..

Please pardon me for a second post. Andy McCarthy´s pal Mark Levin was warning in the primaries that Romney´s brutal methods against his rivals would leave a bad taste in a lot of GOP making it hard to generate real unity. We can´t count too much on the Obama disaster for GOP unity! Also, do you notice we know how to pick a candidate after we pick ourselves. McCain and Romney both picked good VP candidates to make the overall ticket more popular. The best candidate cannot make it to the top of the ticket - their only hope is for 8 years later!

Diabetes: Coping with nail fungus
By Nancy Klobassa Davidson, R.N., and Peggy Moreland, R.N.
19 comments posted
I have a friend who's so embarrassed about her nail fungus that no one is allowed to see her feet. Her feet are always covered with socks, slippers, shoes or water shoes (if she's at the beach or pool).
Nail fungal infections affect about 12 percent of people living in the United States, and toenail fungus is common in people who have diabetes. Toenail fungus has an inherited tendency and commonly runs in families. Besides being cosmetically unattractive, nail fungal infections can cause nail deformity, pain or discomfort while wearing shoes and odor. And it can lead to more serious foot complications if a secondary infection develops.
If treatment is prescribed, it's important to know that due to the thickness of toenail beds topical medications aren't absorbed easily. You must be persistent with topical medications, applying them daily for up to one year, and even this may not be effective in clearing up the infection.
Oral antifungal drugs can be effective, but they may cause side effects ranging from skin rashes to liver failure. And they aren't recommended for those with liver disease, heart failure or who are taking certain medications.
Recurrent infections are possible if feet are exposed to warm and moist conditions. Remember, keep nails trimmed, free of snags, clean and dry.
How do others deal with toenail fungus?
Have a great week.

Two men were taken into custody after three homes and three vehicles were struck by gunfire Sunday morning in the east Calgary communities of Abbeydale and Marlborough Park.
At least one of the homes and one of the vehicles were occupied at the time, but no one was injured.
"It appears almost that the shooting itself was indiscriminate and random," said duty inspector Darrell Hesse.
Officers were called to an intersection Abbeydale Drive N.E., just off of Memorial Drive N.E. before 11 a.m. after receiving reports that a car had been shot at, Hesse said.
The driver of the car told police a gold coloured Jeep Grand Cherokee had been following him before hearing the sound of a gunshot.
As the Jeep fled the scene, the driver of the car pulled over to inspect his vehicle and discovered what appeared to be a single bullet hole in the trunk, Hesse said.
While police were holding the scene, two of the officers witnessed a minor crash nearby on Abbercove Way N.E. and saw that one of the vehicles involved in the collision matched the description of the gold Jeep.
The two occupants of the Jeep were taken into custody.
Soon after, police started receiving multiple calls of bullet holes discovered in two other vehicles and three homes in Abbeydale and Marlborough Park, Hesse said.
Hesse said it was important to deploy as many resources as possible due to the random nature of the incident, though he assured that there is no risk to the public.
Steven Kiss, who lives near the intersection where the car had been followed and shot, said he didn't think anything of it when he heard a loud "thump" sound.
"It could have been a car backfiring," Kiss said. "It didn't occur to me that it was something not normal."
By mid-afternoon some of the scenes had been collapsed and affected vehicles towed.
It's not known if the shootings are all related and the motive is unknown, Hesse said.
Police are still investigating and it's not known yet when charges will be laid.
