So I have been living with my mom for the past 6 months and I don't have a prob living here cause I love my mom and my step dad is really cool. we all get a long and whatever but the one thing that I don't realy like living here is that I can't smoke weed here,like not even out side or my mom will call the cops on me and that crazy bitch almost did one day lol. and the fucked up thing was that she didn't even catch me smokin she just read about it. So I tell my sister about it and she was like "I think that (not usein his real name) bobby has some let me ask him" my thought was *thank you god for my sisters loud ass to find this guy,man I hope that he isn't a ass whkole caue I would have a drug dealer in the family... unless he stops smokin(I look at the guy).... I have a new dealer for life lol* so now I am outside smokin like there is no tomorrow....

On a diffrent note from my last blog i have some good news. I have offically started to grow marijuana. My setup in about 5 foot tall 1 foot and 1/2 wide and about a foot back. I have some cfls above my plants, a space heater (for ventalation) set to just fan (so its not hot). And i couldnt find any better reflective material on my budget so as for now im using aluminium foil. In the future i intend to invest in a better grow box, better ventalation, better reflective material, a carbon filter (for smell), and just everything better. But if you read my last blog you could put two and two together and figure out im doing this by myself with no help. So if you could help me out by giving me some advice as to what i can do to get bigger and better buds out of my harvest. Please and thank you.
Just thinking.

Sitting here in my room i began to think about my life and ive come to realize that i have ZERO friends left since i got kicked out of high school. Except for one friend who has been there for 4 years but now i only see him maybe once a month. Lifes hard. If i had any choice i would have stayed in school and graduated instead of doing it the boring ass way on the computer and not having friends. I got a phone so i could try to stay in touch with my friends but on a good day my brother may text me and i might get a call from my mom. I feel like all my friends have forgotton about me. The guy who was always there for you, always down to chill and do what ever, the guy who always made you laugh and forget why you were upset in the first place. Now that im the one who needs somebody turn to look for someone to talk to..but to no avail. Still alone, still sad, still here....

Finding someone who may just be ...

What you want them to be! I have been looking for someone to spend my time with for a while now ... The issue I was having is I am extreemly picky and can't date someone who isn't 420 friendly. So, I would go on dates and wasn't having a connection with anyone! Until recently ... I've known this guy for years, almost ten! We've never talked or hung out. We were in two completely different social groups in high school so of course we didn't really talk or make an effort to contact eachother. Now recently ... I was looking for some greens and just couldn't get ahold of any of my people, (like come on most annoying thing ever!), so I go on facebook. I start messaging people who I know that blaze ... And one of our mutual friends told me to him him up. So I did ... He got me some buds and that's when I noticed he was kind of cute. So we've been hanging out pretty much every day. Sharing bowls and cuddling after smoking. We'll see where it goes, but I am just super happy I found a 420 friendly super rad dude!
Now to let you all in on a funny story! We went out for ice cream ... Super baked like a bakers dozen. I have an issue with thinking before I talk. So as I was taking a bit of my ice cream I shivered because I was getting cold and I simply said, " Wouldn't it be amazing if ice cream was still cold, but made you warm? Like why does ice cream have to make you cold it should make you warm but still be yummy." ... He laughed at me ...BUT ... He didn't think it was too dumb of me to say. LOL ...
Have a great day all!

As a new stoner, everything is pretty exciting to me.
Well, in all tecnicality, I'm not a new new stoner, but I've just recently been able to get my first piece and bought my first stash. So far, my favorite is God's Gift, but I haven't been able to find that shit anywhere.
I hope that in time I can meet some new people and connect into the stoner community like I've wanted.
Maybe I'll be able to do that once the government gets it's head out of it's ass. ^-^

Our intellectual property transactional lawyers regularly advise clients worldwide on novel and complex technology-based transactions including technology joint ventures and strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions, licenses, and outsourcing transactions involving software.
Our securities litigators have acted as lead trial counsel in a number of the biggest securities class actions and SEC enforcement matters of the current era, including representation of leading Bay Area and national companies such as Amazon.com, Hewlett Packard Company, Levi Strauss & Co., Merrill Lynch, Openwave Systems. Inc., PricewaterhouseCoopers and The Williams Companies, Inc. For many years, Northern California has led the nation in the number of securities class action suits filed each year, and our Bay Area partners are on the "short list" of lawyers who routinely are sought out to represent public companies and their directors and officers in these cases. In addition to defending federal court class actions, our Bay Area partners also handle high stakes takeover litigation, derivative suits, and regulatory investigations, including a number of recent matters involving stock option backdating that have been in the headlines over the last two years. Several of our partners have been recognized in state and national publications as leading lawyers in their field. We regularly are called upon to serve as amicus counsel for some of the nation's leading industry organizations and to speak out on securities-related and law reform topics in national conferences and publications. Our Bay Area securities litigation practice is complemented by the Firm's Business Crimes and Crisis Management groups, with whom we work closely in major matters.
We also have one of the premier labor and employment and executive compensation and benefits practices in Northern California. Our employment lawyers represent national and international companies in a range of matters including traditional labor cases arising under the National Labor Relations Act and litigation involving discrimination, wage/hour, wrongful discharge, trade secrets, and ERISA matters including state and federal class action cases.
Our compensation and benefits practice addresses an array of legal issues in the areas of equity compensation, executive and director compensation, retirement and deferred compensation plans, and health, welfare and fringe benefit plans. The clients of our labor and employment and executive compensation and benefits lawyers come from a wide range of industries including computer hardware and software, transportation, life sciences and medical devices, entertainment, finance, banking and private equity, maritime and aerospace and defense.
The Palo Alto office is committed to community service and pro bono work. Our lawyers are encouraged to form relationships in the local and global communities through pro bono legal work and other community service activities. We work closely with several non-profit organizations in the Bay Area to provide legal aid to those who require assistance. Several lawyers from the Palo Alto office were recipients in December 2006 of the Daily Journal's First Annual Pro Bono Achievement Award for their extensive work on behalf of students of the West Contra Costa County Unified School District and their parents successfully challenging the disciplinary practices of the District.
For more information, please contact Russell C. Hansen, the Partner-in-Charge of the Palo Alto office, at (650) 849-5383

I am trying to do a HIL simulation with APM1, MissionPlanner-1.1.87 and FlightGear-1.9.1.
The MissionPlanner is able to receive the data sent by FlightGear. But FlightGear is not able to read the data sent by MissionPlanner. Message on the FlightGear terminal reads "Error Reading Data".
I followed the instructions for FlightGear HIL http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/FlightGear
What is the data protocol & version sent by APM mission planner to FlightGear. Is it possible to change the sending protocol/data format?
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Mahesh M.
Can you post some screenshots of your settings in APM and flightgear?
i know for my gains on the full size plane i use roll and pitch gains of about 4.
nav roll gain of about 1
throttle cruise at about 60 %
and airspeed cruse at 35 m/s
this makes the big planes respond fairly well.
Thank you Richard, Michael
Problem Solved !!!
I noticed that in the long list of "Error Reading Data" on the FlightGear's terminal window there was a message of longer length occasionally scrolling by. I could read it after i took a screenshot to post online. The message read "generic protocol: binary mode input is not yet implemented".
I was using FlightGear version 1.9.1 which I use for SITL. I upgraded to FlightGear-2.0. Now FlightGear is able to read the data from APM Mission Planner correctly.
The setup also works with FlightGear-2.4 and FlightGear-2.6
Thanks for the help!

Southeast Sunbelt Region Uses Sustainable Design to Bring Building Back to Life
February 28, 2013
It's Back to the Future for George C. Young Federal Building...
Just 8 short years ago, George C. Young Federal Building and Courthouse was on life support. Built in 1975, by 2007 it appeared that its best days were far behind it. Many of its long time tenants including the U.S. District Court and other federal agencies had left for greener pastures in the newly constructed building on the opposite side of the courtyard.
It may have been down but it was definitely not out.
The talented project team at Region 4 put together their own version of "Extreme Makeover – GSA edition" and brought the building back to life
With funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the 183,000 square foot, six story building underwent what some refer to as a "gut rehab". Contractors totally demolish all the interior finishes and walls…and while it may look as good as new …it's actually even better.
Embracing the best in sustainable design and construction, the project team replaced every window, introduced an advanced mechanical and electrical system, incorporated a water collection system for the flushing of toilets and for make-up water for the cooling towers and replaced the roof with an Inverted Roof Membrane Assembly (IRMA) system that protects the membrane with the new roof insulation. Further advances include sophisticated ice making & storage technology for a new supplemental chiller plant, a solar hot water system, and day lighting for interior spaces to reducing the need for artificial electrical lighting. Additional insulation in the exterior walls and in the IRMA roof system, along with more efficient equipment will reduce energy usage by the building by over 40%.
The building is projected to receive a LEED-Gold or better rating from the US Green Building Council. Through this project, an unused federal building has been transformed into an environmentally sustainable and efficient workplace … for decades to come.

A listed Victorian building, this hotel has kept the old English charm beautifully intact while offering guests comfortable rooms and efficient Italian service. It's located in a surprisingly tranquil spot but it's also perfect for exploring London with Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey on its doorstep and St James's Park tube just a stone's throw away for longer trips. |

A bit pricey especially the restaurant where the food should have been better. The staff were extremely courteous and well trained. Rooms very well appointed and comfortable. Decor amazing and public areas very well thought out. | ||
Sydney from Lancaster, United Kingdom would recommend this hotel to a friend |
I would say that for its services, the hotel was rather expensive, considering similar standards in other important European capital cities (Berlin, Paris, Vienna, i.e.). | ||

On the Road to Forever

Post a comment
I tend to rejoice when the silent majority champions a spokesperson no matter where they might show up. A humbly excited 20-year-plus 1-day young man won the Daytona 5oo this year. Trevor Bayne, a total unknown to the NASCAR Cup winners circle, won in his second start at the top level of American auto racing.
In the winners circle, on live national and world-wide television, he immediately gave God the glory, then his sponsors and then his car owners and crew. I have to admit, not a very unusual thing toc happen, until I heard further interviews and more background stories about this young man. I have since discovered that his total lifestyle is truly rooted in a deep sincere devotion to his faith in God. In one interview Trevor was asked what he liked to do in his spare time. I can't quote him,
but Trevor let it be known he was a devoted person of faith and enjoyed have
Bible studies with some other young drivers, and he named a few, because it
helped keep them grounded in the truth while surrounded in fame.
On Feb. 23 AP Sports Writer, Chris Jenkins, wrote: "After Trevor Bayne
shocked the NASCAR world by winning the Daytona 500, his celebration was
decidedly PG-rated. He rode a skateboard and shot some hoops with his
buddies. In a quiet moment he wrote himself a note. According to Bayne's
father, Rocky, it said, "How do I stay grounded in my faith, when I am so
high on winning this race?"
Bayne's note might have been personal, but the religious sentiment it contained is something Bayne is driven to share. Since rocketing to the spotlight with his big 20-year-old Bayne has made it clear that he intends to use success in racing
as a platform to talk about his faith. Recently, Bayne sat down with his
father and business advisers to figure out his long term goals. While
winning was on the list, it wasn't at the top. "I told them that the goal
was not to be the best race car driver or the most marketable or most
popular", Bayne said. "It is none of those things. It is to build a platform
and let God use us on the platform that He is building - which might require
me to become the best race car driver or be the most marketable or most
popular or whatever it is. I just want to stand on the platform that He is
putting under me."
Post-race, Darrell Waltrip commented, he wanted to speak with Trevor about
the race during the parade lap before the green flag but had to wait for the
radio to open up. Trevor was leading his crew in prayer over the radio just
before the start. Darrell said, "Kid's; are you looking for a roll model?
Check this boy out. He's pretty cool."
[Romans 12: 1-2] "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to
test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will."
I can't avoid the old cliché, "A breathe of fresh air", when I witness a
lifestyle like that of Trevor Bayne and other young top professionals who
are building a reputation on the will of God, being model Christians. Will
this race car driver have fun and suffer set-backs? You bet he will. Will he
ever amount to anything other than the winner of the Daytona 500? Who knows?
During an interview Trevor said, "Now that I look back over the past few
months of preparation I can see God already knew I won." We are all racing
down the road to forever looking for the prize at the end. When standing on
the platforms of accomplishment of life are we boasting of self or giving
the glory to God and his will?

BOSTON—If droughts, floods and wildfires are the criminal, climate change is the accomplice.
This is how the population must begin regarding global warming, experts said at a session at the annual American Academy for the Advancement of Science meeting here. Although extreme weather events, from the creeping drought that scorched last year's corn crop to Superstorm Sandy, are worrisome, automatically and simplistically tying them to the scientific phenomenon of climate change could be misleading.
Last year's drought in Texas, for example, could not be specifically tied to climate change, said John Nielsen-Gammon, the Lone Star State's climatologist. Over the past century there has been an increase in rainfall -- not a tendency toward dryness -- over most of Texas by about 10 percent.
"Changing climate has not contributed to the lack of rainfall over the long term, as of yet," he said. Last year's drought, much like the famed Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s and another significant drought in the 1950s, is tied to rising sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean -- the weather event known as la Niña.
"Until we see a long-term decrease in rainfall in Texas, it will be hard to say that climate change has caused a decrease," Nielsen-Gammon said.
Temperatures have risen in Texas, meaning the increased rainfall is being evaporated at a more rapid rate, he added. But for the drought, which continues to seize more than half of the lower 48 states, heat was a drought accelerant but not the main cause.
All weather seems suspicious
The strong link to past events divorces the drought from climate. As climate scientists strive to educate the public, not tying a weather event to climate change is proving to be just as difficult as showcasing droughts and hurricanes as examples.
"All weather seems suspicious now," said Andrew Freedman, a senior science writer with Climate Central. The Thailand floods of 2011 are another example of a weather event with a tangential tie to climate. The devastation was more of a cause of poor management than anything else. The blizzard that hit the Northeast earlier this month was, despite dropping a tremendous amount of precipitation in 24 hours, nothing more than a strong nor'easter, according to Freedman.
"We see that, it looked like a nor'easter on satellite, it talked like a nor'easter," he said. "A lot of the climate discussion I thought was off-base."
La Niña and its weather brother, El Niño, are atmospheric events triggered by changes in surface sea level temperatures. The current drought was characterized by cold sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean, said Richard Seager, a research professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University.
Sea surface temperature has a strong control on precipitation and soil moisture, said Seager, who compared the 2011 and 2012 droughts to the 20th century's other major droughts across the central United States.
Extending normal drought patterns
By using tree ring records to study ancient climates, David Stahle, a professor of geosciences at the University of Arkansas, found patterns between the recent droughts and the Great Pueblo Drought of the 13th century in the region across Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona.
"What's worrisome is that the escalation of temperature may cause these kinds of normal-occurring drought patterns to be more intense and prolonged," he said.
Poor soil management during the Dust Bowl is another factor to consider. The overtilling and poor nurturing of soils led to massive dust clouds and exacerbated the drought in the 1930s. Dust creates an energy sink by absorbing solar radiation, Seager said. Today, advances in agriculture have greatly controlled that problem.

Sorry, this is the only bad review I have ever submitted. I bought 3 of these shirts in different colors but they are all badly designed in the collar/shoulder area. The shirts bunch up in the back of the neck. I was not happy with the shirts, but it is almost easier to keep them then to bother sending them back.

I highly recommend this shirt. I love it. It is breathable but not so much where it could make you cold. Great shirt!

CANAL FULTON, Ohio — A Roman Catholic priest accused of sexual misconduct with a minor has resigned as a parish pastor and was put on administrative leave in northeastern Ohio.
The Catholic Diocese of Youngstown said the Rev. John Warner denied the allegation involving a minor more than 30 years ago at Youngstown's St. Edward parish.
Bishop George Murry said in a statement on Sunday that Warner resigned as pastor of Sts. Philip and James Parish in Canal Fulton and was placed on leave after a lay board's investigation concluded that the allegation is credible.
Warner may not publicly celebrate sacraments, wear clerical clothing or present himself as a priest in good standing.
Warner's telephone number was not available.
The parish administrator in Canal Fulton said he had not received any calls from parishioners.

Are some squad commands not available in the demo? It works like a tutorial early on unlocking new features as you go so I hope there's more in the retail.
it's almost as if there's more you're able to direct the squad to do, I presume there is at least an option to direct your team mates to move to a certain point etc?
This old post about difficulty settings suggests there's more....

A science fiction author, science fiction inventor, futurist, who received multiple independent reviews of his work, famous for his unique classic mind-bending beyond space and time, alien artifact, and exploration themed science fiction, who did his first mind-boggling science fiction classic From Beyond Space And Time in 1998, who likes and writes 21st century potential blockbusters, headline action thrillers, amazing movie-style science fiction, horror, and treasure adventures, with explorations, alien artifacts (alien artifacts from beyond space and time), alien creatures/life forms/entities, alternative universes, voyages beyond universe, cosmic exploration, situations descending beyond all parallel circumstances, desolate haunted places, discoveries of entities (entities beyond the universe), magical beings, matter transference, and mind-bending discoveries.
He started by writing considerably and professionally for 11 years, including doing articles and short stories, and, after collecting and cherishing major outstanding classics, and movies, throughout his life, he wrote novels. Thus after writing From Beyond Space and Time he soon wrote The Black Hole Experiments, which he later conclusively shortened and included the 2nd half of From Beyond Space and Time (which he had been going to make into a novel but had written it as the 2nd half of From Beyond Space and Time, as it had a greater potential in the novel and as a short story), and followed them up with his 3rd novel The Haunting of Grovnor Castle.

Hello everyone! What an amazing day! This is a very exciting day as we sit at the cusp of a brand new year! A new year! What an amazing time to revisit your goals and dreams, and update your plans and actions! The only issue I have with how some people treat, "new years resolutions", is how superficial and short term and extreme these plans can be. For example, resolving to become debt free, or get into shape, find your soul mate, or run your first triathlon…it's not going to happen over night, there needs to be a plan of action, and it usually requires an entire mind and a shift in your habits. An entire lifestyle change may be necessary for some of these goals to become accomplished…and thats a great thing, but you're going to need to be prepared to put in some work, maybe some hard work and persistence in order to get closer to or achieve your goals. January 1st will come and go, but if you truly want to accomplish your goals, this will only be the first day of a lifetime of self improvement, development, challenges and success!
About 3 months back I wrote a post regarding goal setting, I would like to share with you again, a very effective approach to goal setting, and "new years resolution" setting if you will. Thank you so much for your time, and from the bottom of my heart I wish you the best in the new year! 2011 is going to be an amazing year for all of us! I personally am resolving to blog more frequently, and begin to post audio podcasts as well as the written blogs. What are your new years resolutions, and what do you do to bring in the new year?
"Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born."
~Dale E. Turner
1. Set A Specific Date:
Goals are just dreams with timelines right? : ) So give yourself a date to complete your goals by so that there is a sense of urgency to complete them. It also allows you a checkpoint to see if your set goals are actually important to you or not. At that point, you can re-evaluate, revamp and continue setting newer and bigger goals, to create a journey in life that is fun, exciting and continuously self improving!
2. One Goal Per Goal:
One thing I frequently found myself doing when writing out goals, was writing multiple goals in one. So for example;
- My goal is to read 4 books this month and to buy one book too.
This goal is relatively clear about my intentions, but when the goal deadline arrives, and you only read 2 books that month, but bought 5 books…you kind of achieved the goal and kind of didn't. To make it even more clear for yourself, write one decisive goal per goal. There's no limit to your goals, so write them separately;
- My goal is to read 4 books this month
- My goal is to buy a new book this month
It feels better to be able to cross 2 goals off the list as successfully completed, instead of just crossing off a goal because it didn't really work out exactly so.
3. Phrase The Goal To Be Yes Or No:
When you write out your goals, be decisive with one goal per goal, but also, be careful of how you word it. Ensure that all of your goals are written so that when the deadline comes, you can answer it yes or no. Be precise with what you want. If you wrote down, "I want to get healthier" as a goal, can you answer that yes or no when the end date has been reached? Not really. Instead, write something like, "I want to be able to run 10k in 40 minutes by Sept 20th", or "I want to weigh 180 lbs by Oct 1st". These are goals that, when the end date arrives, can be answered yes or no. It increases your focus and clarity when you have an actual, tangible or logically imaginable goal. Clarity is huge in everything you do, click here to read a recent post I wrote on the power of clarity. (Ignore the new website info at the bottom of the post…this is the new website )
4. Write In The Positive Tense:
It's always a good practice in life to stay positive, about everything you do. I'm not suggesting that negative events don't happen, but you can usually find something good and positive to take out of any situation. The same goes for your goals. When you write your goals down, try to write them in the positive tense and use, the terms that you want to see, not what you don't want to see. For example, a negative tense goal could look like this;
- I want to be debt free in a year…or
- I want to lose 15 lbs in 2 months…or
- I don't want to read less than 2 books this month
When you include the terms that don't necessarily encompass the meaning or result of what you truly want, you may not be sending clear signals about what you really want, so try to avoid using them in your goal writing. Instead of using the words; debt, lose or don't want, just reword them slightly;
- I want to have $10,000 in savings by Jan. 1st 2011
- I want to weigh a healthy 180 lbs by Oct 3rd 2010
- I want to read 2 books by Oct. 1st
These 3 goals mean very similar things when compared to their negative version, but just by stating the positive terms which you actually want more of, you're putting your focus on these words and meanings. This will actually attract more of those same positive feelings and terms you're aiming towards, back into your life, which will in turn, assist you in completing your goals.
5. Set Varied Levels To Each Goal:
In order to easily achieve every goal you set, as well as push yourself beyond what you even thought you were capable of, try setting different levels of completion for each goal. I like to set 3 levels which I call, minimum, goal, and extreme. For example:
My goal is increasing my income so I would write;
Minimum – I want to earn $3000 in the month of September 2010 (this should be an easily attainable level for what you are used to achieving, regardless of the amount, the minimum should be relatively easy for you to attain)
Goal – I want to earn $5000 in the month of September 2010 (this should be a bigger challenge, one that you believe you could reach, would be very impressed if you reached it, and believe you can strive towards it)
Extreme – I want to earn $10,000 in the month of September 2010 (this should be a dream level goal, something that if you achieved it, you would be absolutely astonished and blown away by your awesomeness!)
That way, you're still feeling the gratification of successfully completing a goal, and you're still challenging yourself to push harder and achieve more than you ever thought possible. This works for any type of goals too, be creative!
6. Share Your Goals With Your Peers:
One way to increase the odds of successfully completing the goals you set, is to tell your friends and family your goals. Hold yourself accountable to these peers, update them on your progress, ask for guidance if you're struggling, and then celebrate your successes with them once they're completed! This alone can make a huge difference in goal completion, as for some strange reason, it can be easier to be dishonest with yourself, than with others. Also, if your friend or family is working on a goal, offer yourself to be an accountability partner! I'm sure they'd appreciate the support on their journey of self improvement!
7. Set Rewards
Based on the size of your goals, there should be a relative sized reward waiting for you at the finish line! There is no better way to reinforce positive and timely action in completing your goals, than a nice juicy prize for completion. Now I know its easy to get carried away with this so have some fun, don't overdo it. Just let yourself relish in the successful completion of a goal you set. For example;
- You reached your goal weight – $100 to buy a new snazzy outfit.
- You earned your financial "extreme" level goal – book a trip for you and your best friend to Las Vegas.
- You completed that huge personal project that you chose to do in your spare time – Go out for a nice dinner at your favourite restaurant, and a go to a movie.
All of these tips can help you to achieve your goals, but the most important process behind your goal setting (besides the necessity of action), from which everything in todays world started from, a dream. Dream big dreams, set big goals! If you want to be someone, have something, go somewhere or do something that you would never think possible for you in this lifetime….even better : ) !! Please let me know what your goals and dreams are. If you need an accountability partner, let me know too! Thanks for letting me share my passion with you! I wish you the best of luck with all your goals, and in your amazing journeys towards them!

Posted 3:57 PM 8/7/2012 : RAW: Jan. 8 shooting survivors speak outside courthouse
TUCSON - After representatives for the prosecuttion and Rep. Ron Barber spoke, several victims gave brief statements regarding the plea hearing for Jared Loughner, the accused January 8 shooter.
Jim Tucker spoke briefly, followed by Suzi Hileman, who thanked prosecutors, the Justice Department, the FBI, the Pima County Attorney's Office, the first responders, and the doctors at UMC for saving her life.
"Today's events make me very proud to be an American," she continued. "This is the system doing its best. it's not a perfect solution. the perfect solution is one we can't have. what we want is not available to us. this is the best that can be expected. Can't bring Christina back, but that shouldn't stop people from mentoring and particcpating and encouraing young people to get inolved, stay involved, and to recognize this is a wonderful place we live. This is a wonderful community."
"Since that time, it's been an 18-month journey by all of us who were affcted by that day," said the next survivor to speak, former Giffods staffer Pam Simon. "And it's not only those that were wounded and the family of those that were killed, it's the greater community. I've had the experience throughout this year and a half of seeing the hurt, and the pain, and the anguish that happened to the entire community. And I can only hope that as today's decision brings a resolution to me personally, that it will also bring some closure for all of those who are hurting in our community, and all of those who care so very much about Congresswoman Giffords."
Simon went on to say that today, the nation should began a "common-sense discussion on who should bear arms."
"We can all agree that the seriously mentally-ill, and those with criminal records, should not be holding a gun."
She announced that a group will be at tonight's City Council meeting to present a resolution to Councilmember Karen Ulich.

BARRE The Cabot teenager accused of repeatedly raping a young boy and a dog has been released from jail so he can live with his father in Hardwick.
Jay D. Deasy, 17, was in Washington County family court Thursday for a bail review hearing. He was being held on $80,000 bail, but Judge Thomas Devine decided Deasy could be released into the custody of his parents as long as he stays away from the boy and is under constant supervision of his parents, who were in the courtroom.
Deasy is accused of raping a 9-year-old boy 10 to 15 times over the past two years. The Vermont State Police affidavit also said Deasy admitted to repeatedly raping a female dog.
At the hearing, Deasys public defender, Maggie Vincent, said he has been diagnosed with an emotional delay where he functions more like a 12- or 13-year-old.
Because of Deasys age, he is applying for youthful offender status, which would spare him from the potential life sentence he currently faces.MORE IN This Just InNEW YORK A federal appeals court in Manhattan said Tuesday that the legality of a tax on...

(on contract negotiations) "It's real simple. We didn't agree on a number and I didn't really care to discuss it any further once it got to that point. Bottom line is I'm not the guy going up into their offices and negotiating with them every day anyways. It was really never a concern of mine and never really thought about it. Even in the offseason, when you think about it a little bit, they are really all good thoughts. It's a good problem to have and to be talking about."
(on Jim Caldwell) "Jim has been great. He and I have pretty similar personalities and it's just good going to that room and kind of bounce ideas off of each other and communicate the way we have. I think that's what leads to playing well on Sundays, is having that communication between you and him and having that communication trickle down through the offense."
(on the Ravens being known as defensive team) "You don't get to this point without having a good football team and that's in all three phases. This team has had such a great defense for many years, such big faces on that side of the ball. That's what we're known for. Us guys on the other side, we don't have any problem with that. We know that in order to win football games we have to go out there and do our job. We're kind of humble guys on our side of the ball and don't really care what people say about how we won it. We just need to go out there and do our job and I think that's what has made us successful."
(on attending a pre-draft academy before he was drafted) "It's one of those things that are kind of a necessity these days. When you go to the combine you need to make sure you impress as many people as you can. It was a good opportunity to go out there and get good work in and hang out with a bunch of guys that are going through a similar process as you were. It definitely prepares you for that type of a situation in terms of the interviews and just all types of the physical things you have to do in order to prepare for that day."
(on seeing people wearing his jersey) "Five years in and it's still a little weird to see that. I don't know if you ever get used to it but it's definitely a good thing. It means that we're still playing and people are excited about what we're doing in Baltimore. I don't really know any other football communities besides really Baltimore and Philadelphia, because I grew up around there. Philadelphia is very passionate about their sports and Baltimore is unbelievable. I think if you spend any time around those people, football, it's everything there. It was pretty cool just to see that and see people wearing everybody's jerseys. Before we came here, we had a little sendoff out in the city and the amount of people that turned up just to support us was unreal."
(on how his calm demeanor benefits him as a quarterback) "I have no idea. It's just who I am. It helps. In those situations you have to just rely on who you are and think about the basics. I don't really know if your demeanor off the field impacts that but it may. I think the biggest thing that you need in order to be successful in this situation is just think about the basics. So I don't know if it's the demeanor or just not trying to do too much in those kinds of situations

Dean & DeLuca Wins Readers' Choice Award for Best Online Gourmet Food
Filed under: Dining
Dean & DeLuca is the winner of the Readers' Choice Award for Best Online Gourmet Food.
Though it's now one of America's finest online grocers -- offering a wide array of food, wine and even kitchenware --- the New York-based company got its start well before the information superhighway received its first coat of pavement.
In the 1970's, Joel Dean and Giorgio DeLuca traipsed around the world in search of artisan-produced foods that pleased their customers as well as themselves. They wanted products that fired their imaginations, challenged their tastes and turned dinner into a creative exercise.
When the partners opened the original Dean & DeLuca in Soho in September 1977, the neighborhood wasn't the hopelessly chic shopping enclave it is today; rather, it was an authentically gritty corner of the Big Apple. As such, founding partner, Jack Ceglic, designed the first store to evoke a turn-of-the-century food department. Beneath the whir of ceiling fans, high shelves brimmed with rare artisan foodstuffs from flavored salts to cured meats.
Joel and Giorgio continued to expand their operation, adding another New York shop with four times the space of the original in 1988. Boutiques throughout the city followed, as did locations in Charlotte, Kansas City and Washington, D.C. Demand for the grocer's goods even spawned a store in Tokyo.
Dean & DeLuca's wide array of gourmet offerings range from black truffle barbecue sauce, cilantro lime butter and tapas to Asian inspired delicacies such as green tea truffles, purple sweet potato vinegar and organic sushi rice. It also has an impressive selection of meats, seafood, pates, ready-to-serve appetizers, artisanal cheeses and sweets. In search of a Mediterranean sea salt? How about a Himalayan salt harvested from the beds of ancient seas? Look no further than Dean & DeLuca. The company has also launched a new wine division with knowledgeable staff who can recommend the best food and wine pairings for any event.
Today, website makes the grocer's trademark meats, fish, cheeses, herbs and spices available to those who aren't lucky enough to have a store nearby. Dean & DeLuca also markets its private label products to other retailers and wholesalers throughout the world.

Enforce congestion toll collection and create integration linkages between pricing system and motor vehicle registries to process violations.
Experience from road pricing programs in Europe and Asia
Czech Republic; England; Germany; Singapore; Sweden
Background (Show)
Lesson Learned
Congestion pricing programs face political, institutional, and public acceptance challenges and concerns everywhere in the world. Over a 12-day period, from December 7 to 18, 2009, a multidisciplinary scan team from the United States interacted with the experts in Europe and Asia to develop an understanding of factors that contributed to the successful implementation of road pricing. Based on their international experience, the scan team offered the following lessons learned on addressing the operations and enforcement issues of road pricing programs.
- Enforce an effective system of congestion toll collection. Enforcement is key to ensuring a financially viable and fair system. Video enforcement is an essential element in every site visited. Enforcement has played a large role in public acceptability by ensuring fairness because those paying for use of the road want to know that others are paying as well. Many pricing programs do not consider enforcement penalties as a revenue tool (i.e., fines and fees need not be higher than administrative costs), but do view enforcement as a critical element of ensuring that base road charges are collected without substantial leakage. All of the sites studied, except Stockholm, treat violations as administrative fees, not as criminal acts.
- Create integration linkages between pricing system and motor vehicle registries. Violation enforcement systems require effective system integration and linkages with motor vehicle registries. Typically, enforcement is managed through video capture of license plate images and an ANPR (automated number plate recognition) system. Back office processing centers use license plate information to identify the vehicle owner and collect payment.
London and Stockholm: In systems that rely on video systems and ANPR as the means of charging for road use, the enforcement process is an exception-based business process to pursue those who have not paid after some period of time. This process leverages one set of roadside equipment for dual functionality (i.e., primary collection and enforcement). This is the case in London and Stockholm.
Czech Republic, Germany, and Singapore: In systems that rely on on-board units (OBUs), such as transponders or GPS (global positioning system), for toll collection, the video enforcement process is a stand-alone subsystem that requires roadside video equipment for enforcement and systems integration to ensure violation transactions and electronic toll transactions are uniquely identified and properly distinguished. The systems in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Singapore rely on separate violations enforcement subsystems. All these systems supplement the automated violations enforcement systems with mobile and roadside enforcement efforts for periodic spot enforcement.
The use of ANPR enforcement requires an effective working relationship with motor vehicle registries for accurate information of vehicle owners from license plate data. Systems that include pricing for significant populations of foreign-registered vehicles (e.g., Germany and the Czech Republic) have a more complex set of relationships to establish and maintain in a cost-effective manner.

A miniature diagnostic device with the mechanical properties of skin was developed by engineers at the University of Illinois. It can be mounted directly to the wrist or anywhere on the human body for EMG and other measurements.
The circuit almost becomes part of the skin as it bends, wrinkles, and stretches.
The patch can be applied to the forehead for EEG and other measurements as well.
The disposable patch peels off easily.
The electronic device incorporates sensors, diagnostics, and communications into an ultra-thin and flexible patch.
The device mimics the mechanical properties of skin.
The circuitry's filaments are serpentine-shaped, allowing the device to be squeezed.
The device can even be bent, stretched, and scrunched.
t can also be placed over a temporary tattoo for at least partial concealment.
