Joey's End Of The World Survival Guide! « Read Less
I hear growing talks about the "end of the world" the deeper into December we go, but just so everyone knows… I didn't expect the Mayans to create a calendar that lasts forever, I am impressed it went on this long however, that does that mean that you need to prepare for the end of the world on December 21st 2012. What you do need to prepare for is the zombie apocalypse... I had a nice long talk with my best of pals Dave Briggs (drummer, bff, salt to my pepper, coolest cat I know and most importantly a zombie expert). Here are the necessities for the beginning of a zombie apocalypse, granted it is a little subjective due to one's location, how big his/her party is, what type of zombies are spreading and so on buuuuut these "items" can help you out in most situations. At the end of this gallery we added some movies that will help you out with some ideas and give you an idea of different zombies! What are your plans for survival!?

64-bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise
Today is the RTM for Windows Server 2012 R2!
As noted in my earlier post about the availability dates for the 2012 R2 wave, we are counting the days until our partners and customers can start using these products. Today I am proud to announce a big milestone: Windows Server 2012 R2 has been released to manufacturing!
This means that we are handing the software over to our hardware partners for them to complete their final system validations; this is the final step before putting the next generation of Windows Server in your hands.
While every release milestone provides ample reason to celebrate (and trust me, theres going to be a party here in Redmond), we are all particularly excited this time around because weve delivered so much in such a short amount of time. The amazing new features in this release cover virtualization, storage, networking, management, access, information protection, and much more.
By any measure, this is a lot more than just one years worth of innovation since the release of Windows Server 2012!
As many readers have noticed, this release is being handled a bit differently than in years past. With previous releases, shortly after the RTM Microsoft provided access to software through our MSDN and TechNet subscriptions. Because this release was built and delivered at a much faster pace than past products, and because we want to ensure that you get the very highest quality product, we made the decision to complete the final validation phases prior to distributing the release. It is enormously important to all of us here that you have the best possible experience using R2 to build your private and hybrid cloud infrastructure.
We are all incredibly proud of this release and, on behalf of the Windows Server engineering team, we are honored to share this release with you. The opportunity to deliver such a wide range of powerful, interoperable R2 products is a powerful example of the Common Engineering Criteria that Ive written about before.
Also of note: The next update to Windows Intune will be available at the time of GA, and we are also on track to deliver System Center 2012 R2.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the preview process we could not have done it without you!
I cant wait to share even more on October 18! In the meantime, keep an eye on this blog and Twitter for updates.

Hi! It's me, again. This time, I do hope I'm will not bore you to death. Here's my situation:
I was assigned the ignominious task of migrating a Server, from Windows SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials. I'm not so sure if the migration was that successful since I had to import all the users from the old Server. So far, with some issues that are still haunting me, the Server seems to be "working", I've a couple of inquiries but I'll start with just one (for now).
The old Server had a couple of File Folders (shared) that were mapped. It had Bubbles (not real name) Folder as Networked Drive "O", Balloons Folder as Networked Drive "P" and the Users (this one is real) Folder as Networked Drive "M". Since I didn't set up that old Server and I've no prior experience setting up Servers, I'm quite lost in what I'm doing. Since the people working in that office were quite comfortable seen those Folders as Networked Drives, I want to do the same with the new equipment but don't know how. I want the users to see those new Mapped Networked Drives so when they turn on their PC (Clients), those Mapped Drives will be shown when the open My Computer. I tried to map them inside the new Server, since they are already Shared but no one saw them. So I mapped them individually on each Client, which I'm sure is not the right way.
So the question is, how do I map those Folders so everyone can see them on their clients? I'm not sure if this is done through the Group Policy Object or if there's an easier way to do it.
Was my post tiresome? LOL
Thank you for your patience.

Language policy is a perfect example of the socialist-calculation problem. Governments necessarily adopt nonoptimal language policies. They are incentivized to violate the rights of minority-language speakers and support fewer languages rather than more. FULL ARTICLE by Danny Hieber
Language and the Socialist-Calculation Problem
{ 34 comments }
- September 7, 2010 at 9:18 am
An absolutely fantastic article. It's also nice to see austrian analysis applied to something other than monetary policy for a change.
- September 7, 2010 at 9:39 am
As someone who lives in Asia, where the fever of learning English for the purpose of engaging in the globalized economy is at a pitch, I greatly appreciate this article. I have pondered this question — about the state's involvement in languages — only a little, but have recurrently been troubled by the problem.
Fantastic article.
- September 7, 2010 at 6:34 pm
I've recently heard rumors that Japan is thinking about simplifying the kanji, or going to Romaji (Roman alphabet) altogether, to make the language easier to learn and thus make it easier to attract "guest workers" to prop up the social system. Any truth in this?
- September 7, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Not sure, honestly, as I live on the mainland. But it wouldn't surprise me. There's been a big push for side-by-side Romanized transliteration and the native languages of the major Asian economies (usually Korea, China, and Japan) in all public transportation. How far this extends, especially in public schools, I'm not sure.
- September 7, 2010 at 9:18 pm
That would certainly be counterproductive, ISTM. It's much easier to learn Japanese using kanji, or even kana, than romaji.
- September 7, 2010 at 10:24 am
Languages within a country are best left to private choice. However, that does not require a government to accommodate many languages. For example, at a traffic alteration, the police should not be obligated to communicate with any of a hundred possible languages. Nor should schools, at public expense, have to accommodate many languages.
- September 7, 2010 at 10:35 am
When a Government makes a decision about the number of languages to accommodate they distort the "language market." Public schools only teaching in English is but just one example. The solution is to get rid of the state itself.
- September 7, 2010 at 11:48 am
So is your view that until we get rid of the state our schools should accommodate many languages?
- September 7, 2010 at 11:50 am
No, we should get rid of the state schools. They'll then determine which language(s) to use.
- September 7, 2010 at 5:27 pm
So are you saying that until you get rid of the schools that we leave things as they are, or change them till then?
- September 7, 2010 at 5:57 pm
I think he's saying that you cannot "know" until you remove the distortion. That's the whole socialist calculation debate in a nutshell.
You try for an optimal solution under government mandate, but you have no way of knowing what is right. Your guess is as good a theirs.
The profit and loss system lets you "know" what is optimal (or at the very least hits you with a loss every time you get it wrong).
The solution of eliminating the state is his suggestion to add an objective measure. Instead of randomly guessing in the dark (which the state is already doing anyway)
- September 8, 2010 at 9:25 am
North nailed it perfectly. The state school CANNOT provide the right number of languages because it simply is unable to know what the right amount is. The solution IS to get rid of the state school, not to find ways to fix a system that cannot be mended.
- September 7, 2010 at 11:07 am
You've just assumed the police are a valid function of government. Especially the traffic variety, which aren't in place for safety but as a method to extract resources from the public for State use.
- September 7, 2010 at 11:52 am
There has not been such an assumption, but rather the need to address what exists. Are you saying that if a doctor is treating an ailment, he ought instead address how it should not have occurred?
- September 7, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Any good doctor should address preventive measures, to keep the ailment from happening again. Or, read about it yourself…..
- September 7, 2010 at 5:29 pm
Dave, there is no question about the need for prevention, but do you believe that you responded to the question as to whether or not the doctor should treat the ailment as well?
- September 7, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Your doctor example assumes the patient continues the self inflict damage. It's valid to some extent but think of a heroin addict to really flesh out this argument (not that this invalidates your argument, it just add a concrete perspective).
As far as I know doctors typically advise patients to avoid copious amount of street drugs such as heroin. If a patient continues the general advice is to, at the very least, refrain from sharing needles (the two behaviours have been known to correlate, and positivist doctors find the advice relevant and helpful).
The doctor's advice is not to continue using street drugs and use up public dollars for treatment, their advice is to stop causing the damage in the first place. To relate this to the school discussion, look at why no one knows the optimal language mix and then eliminate the cause.
You are asking them to assume the cause will never be eliminated, in the case of the school system. In the doctor example I gave, not all doctors will treat a patient who continues to self inflict damage like that to their body. Some will, and they'll offer advice on clean needle use until the patient is ready to kick the habit. But others will refuse to treat (refer the patient elsewhere) so they are not enabling the patient's bad health choices.
Some economists refuse to give advice when individuals or groups of individuals refuse to treat the cause of their problems. If a group of people are addicted to bad economic policy (printing money like bandits for example), the advice is to stop the bad behaviour.
"Assuming" the poor behaviour will not end and asking whether or not, for example, tarot cards are superior to econometric modeling is as irrelevant to some economists as asking some doctors if clean needles are superior to dirty needles.
The commenters here have reiterated the core problem, as far as they can evaluate it. If you're hooked on the cause, perhaps come back to them once you've kicked the habit and they'll have advice you want to hear. Or seek treatment that will let you stick to your addiction until you are ready to quit, but this line of questioning requires different phrasing.
- September 8, 2010 at 9:27 am
Doctors only provide advice. My doctor can't fine me and throw me in prison for refusing to take a prescription medication or deciding against a surgery. Police provide orders. Two different beasts entirely.
- September 7, 2010 at 11:34 am
Most states can't even respect their "official" language. They keep trying to redefine what things like property, contract, freedom, and rule of law mean. IMHO, their efforts to destroy their "official" languages are as relentless as their effort to destroy the non official ones.
- September 7, 2010 at 11:40 am
Very true. Whatever it is that lawyers speak clearly isn't English.
- September 7, 2010 at 11:52 am
Lawyers, politicians, spokespeople, media reps, bureaucrats, etc…. seem to have vested interest in conveying feelings without communicating fact, without addressing ideas.
- September 7, 2010 at 8:07 pm
Great article! It is great to see praxeology applied to good other than those typically treated in economics (as someone else has already commented).
- September 8, 2010 at 12:13 am
… Governments necessarily adopt nonoptimal language policies. They are incentivized to violate the rights of minority language speakers and support fewer languages rather than more … the state is not highly incentivized to recognize minority languages. Running a multilingual government is a logistical nightmare (just ask India), and multilingualism is a direct affront to the ideas of national identity and standard education …
While many governments have throughout history run roughshod over minority languages, right now the trend in western social welfare states is the opposite. Linguistic minorities are sought out using the census data and entire fiefdoms of political pork and patronage are created using these minorities as the anchor. It's a new twist on the aboriginal reservation system – invented in Canada and perfected in South Africa. This is a good, old, tried and trusted strategy to maximize parasitical revenue at the expense of the host population. Your grandfather knew it as Divide et impera.
Here is an example. First they made speaking French a requirement for getting a Canadian federal government job, then for many provincial government jobs outside of Quebec, then for municipal jobs. Then they started erecting ornamental gates at the entrance to Chinatown. Now I see that a street with mostly plain old houses, auto garages and a couple of restaurants has a huge "Welcome to Little Italy" sign erected by the municipality (with matching funds provided by the province and feds). Probably the Sikhs, Tamils, Koreans and Portugese are filling out the forms to get their gates too (and a huge check for their political patronage headquarters – errr, community center).
There was an absolute sh*tstorm recently over whether the Canadian federal government should fine, imprison and (ultimately) shoot anyone who declined to fill in a census form. Why? Because it is difficult to find reasons to expand the Welfare Empire, unless one can find and elevate aggrieved minorities with sufficient precision (sufficient to determine which political jurisdictions will get to control the pork and patronage). You might think that the sh*tstorm represents some kind of misstep by government, but the opposite is true. The more controversial the government intervention, the more polarizing, and the more anger and strife which can be exploited by politicians to get votes and power. That's the real reason behind the multilingual problems in India mentioned above. They kill some (languages and people) and elevate others, because that's how they get paid.
- September 8, 2010 at 8:05 am
Good insight!
Do you have any references handy for further reading on the reserve structure in Canada? I'm actually doing some research on that part of Canadian history (annexation and treaties), so any additional references are always come in useful.
Of interest to your summary above, Canada actually made a strong push to rid Western Canada of French before giving that land "provincial status". Shortly after confederation they annexed much if not all of Rupert's land, an unconstitutional move which surprised me so quickly after creating the the thing, and immediately started trying to bump the French speaking population off in favour of British transplants.
- September 8, 2010 at 9:00 am
I don't have any of what you would call solid references for the link between Apartheid and the Canadian reservation system. However it is frequently claimed that officials from South Africa visited Canada to study their system in order to help design their own system of homelands. For example. Possibly somewhere in the vast literature on Apartheid there is some scholarship which either proves or debunks this point. I have never formally studied the Canadian reservation system itself, probably because the public school system avoids this subject like the plague. Even the most fanatical statist cannot defend this disastrous mistake, yet the system just keeps going and going. In a way, aboriginal reservations are like a predecessor and a proving ground for the welfare state as a whole. What they do to Indians in one decade (imposing "free" health care and schools, endless welfare checks, suppressing private property rights, etc.) is what they will do to the entire population in the next decade.
It's true that Canada has in the past suppressed linguistic minorities. In my own parents' lifetimes the Ontario provincial school system tried to suppress the teaching in French to the thousands of unilingual French students then living in eastern Ontario. Perhaps the official treatment of languages tends to have two phases – (1) during the expansionary, empire-building phase such as the annexation of Rupert's Land or the building up of a small provincial ministry into a vast bureaucracy, the tendency is to suppress languages in the name of imposing fear and obedience; (2) once absolute control is achieved, minority "rights" are suddenly rediscovered and the minorities are thereafter indulged for the purposes of expanding the bureaucracy. Phase (2) is actually a kind of invasion of the majority population's pocketbooks, because of course by "protecting minority rights" what the government really means is stealing money from the majority, subtracting a huge cut for the government and then using what's left to create a noisy, grasping lobby group which will fight like wildcats to keep the racket going.
- September 8, 2010 at 9:42 am
Thanks for the link!
And your thoughts are the two phases have merits, and are certainly worth considering as I study historic examples further. I haven't looked into stages like this in much detail but Hoppe mentions something relatively consistent to what you mention in his Theory of Socialism and Capitalism. He talks about Democratic Socialism's redistribution technique of offering "equality of opportunity". This fits in line with the second stage you mention where the formerly oppressed suddenly become a special interest group.
What I don't yet understand is whether the Canadian example is a progression from feudalism to democratic socialism or if it better illustrates a simple evolution of democratic socialism (or if it illustrates both).
Certainly gives me much to think about. Thanks!
- September 8, 2010 at 12:26 am
BTW, like everything governments do, any attempt to preserve minority languages actually backfires and helps to kill it. French speaking students in Canada are taught what is now a very archaic, stilted form of French. This form of French is frozen because the teachers and government nannies are terrified of "Anglicisms", meaning not just English loan-words, but any kind of phrase or grammatical construction which smells like an Anglo-Saxon invader. When you freeze a language you strangle it, and that is exactly what is happening. Every day I hear French speaking kids on the street who after struggling with obscure French grammar and vocabulary all day at school (even the public school teachers struggle to remember their French rules), immediately lapse into a happy creole of jumbled up English and French. The bureaucrats can feel their power and their big, fat paychecks slipping away every time they hear a kid say, "Je ne care pas." It's why they're going over the census with a microscope looking for more victims, I mean, beneficiaries of official government recognition and "protection". The host dies, the parasite moves on.

It is a great read. Actually, I'm surprised that you didn't include it in your bibliography. You should definitely check it out.
- September 8, 2010 at 3:03 pm
anyone read that article? About the failure of planning?
- September 8, 2010 at 4:44 pm
Man, can I just NOTgo along with this one!
Language is not a good, nor or a service. It is not traded, exchaged nor produced. Applying any kind of demand/supply, or economic principle to it is just way too much of a stretch – IMHO.
"Non-optimal" "language policies" are… what, exactly? I didn't know the USA HAD a "language policy" other than "We have to prioritize Spanish", maybe.
How about languages will be born and die based on their utility or popularity? Without intervention by any government?
in South Africa, it's ironic that the ANC government took steps to "preserve" the Afrikaans tongue, formerly maligned as the "language of the oppressor". Why did they bother? Why waste taxpayer wealth on a questionable quest? If it survives, it survives. How much will really be "lost", other than what our romantic notions suggest?
A true Austrian approach would be to let the free market reign. Let people choose to use a language, ….or not.
Governmen's only obligation is to communicate it's laws clearly, in the language of its tradition – a single language makes perfect sense and is efficient. In SA, in a mindnumbingly assinine move to "appease" or "include" as many (minority) groups as possible – and likely in the perceived socialist tradition of "uBuntu" – all laws published are done so in 14 languages – a wastefull example if ever there was one!
"…nationalization of the language industry"? Phew… there's a LANGUAGE industry?? Come on: there just isn't. This just sounds like another basis to malign "American" – using sound philosophy twisted to suit your purpose, whatever that is.
Excellent article?? I don't see it. The more we differentiate – especially by language, the more the "American Melting Pot" fails. I don't get it at all, apparently, …but I'll sell you my foreign accent for an American Eagle if you're interested!

The science of economics is not restricted to goods or services, I thought Ludwig von Mises made that clear in his book. Economics is the science of human action, particularly human action in a world of scarcity. Language is produced by human beings, i.e. human action and therefore can be explained using sound economics. If you don't buy this, try reading Deirdre McCloskey's books Bourgeois Virtue and Dignity. You have a restricted and incorrect view of the scope of economics. This article was, in my opinion, a great.
The use of "language industry" is a fine metaphor. Just as there is a religion industry, musical industry, etc. Whatever humans create can be described as an industry, but with language there isn't a business or government that creates it (france being the exception). Instead we all create language.
Your arguments for a single language is totalitarian. Efficiency? Is that how you measure what is moral and immoral? A collectivist would be in complete agreement with your perspective. Sure if a country has a "traditional language" then it will probably use it–makes sense. But if it aquires new lands with different language speakers, then what? The US took over much land with non-english speaking peoples, sometimes violently, should we also force them to speak our language?
The author isn't anti-american. Quite the opposite he probably believes in the principles of the early republic, where it wasn't unusual for generations of ethnic groups to stick together–though learning english for practical purposes. And your "melting pot" hopes, i.e. assimiliation, are largely created by nationalist papist-hating progressives. The idea that a multitude of languages could exist in a single country is anathema to their nationalist dreams. Before public education and policies that coerced assimilation, private catholic schools educated in german (and english), there were towns where everyone spoke a particular dialect of italian as their first language for multiple generations (even 4th and 5th generations), etc. Much of the "melting" was socially engineered by nationalists who couldn't stand the notion that there were americans who identified as ethnically italian, german, etc. I don't care if the "american melting pot fails," it would probably just mean that an American would be anyone who believed in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and self-government–not by some progressive imposed American nationalism (if being American means being a nationalist, I am not an American–even if I consider myself a patriot). Being ethnically Latvian, only speaking Latvian, and disassociating myself from non-Latvians, but an also being an American wouldn't be a contradiction. Do you consider the Amish Americans? Their first language is a German dialect, english is simply known for practicality.
In my self-governing home, english would be my children's second language, the culture would be that of my ethnicity, and the American state would never be a false idol. But I would have no problem calling them Americans, because they would know better than most "Americans" the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and heroes (like Kosciuszko) of our Revolution.

We're now looking at his eating habits, which may be the most difficult thing for him to change.
"Sweets, desserts, and chocolate chip cookies," said Andy's wife, Julie. "Anything that he can grab quick that's like a sweet fix."
Without a doubt, Andy Huffmyer definitely has a sweet tooth.
Anything baked and sugary is his weakness, and could be his downfall while training for the triathlon.
Julie has been helping Andy get on the right track. She's slacked off in baking all those sweet treats and together, they've been making healthier, more nutritious meals.
"We're trying to eat more vegetables and more salads," said Julie.
Something else Andy is improving on, portion size.
"Sometimes just going back to a very simple, small serving of a food will help you save calories," said Dietician Rita Smith.
"He's been very careful with his portion size and how much he's eating and only eating 1 serving of something and maybe using a smaller plate actually to eat it on, " said Julie.
Andy has actually been doing really well. Since he started the routine about a month ago, he's lost 10 pounds.

Good question. Here's what the experts say:
Some consider it important:
Here's what Maria Cristina Garcia, who is a Cuban-American, and is an expert on Cuban issues at Cornell University, said in an interview with The Washington Post:
"There's a sense that they're the true migrants, the true exiles, the ones who really feel a sense of betrayal," Garcia said. "They tend to look at the people who came before (the Castro victory) as economic migrants." Sometimes, she said, "they are viewed with suspicion."
The New York Times wrote: But some Cuban-Americans wonder how Senator Rubio could have gotten the year of his parents' arrival here so wrong. The date, they said, is integral to every exile story.
"Every Cuban-American knows when their parents arrived and the circumstances under which they arrived," said George Gonzalez, a Cuban-American political science professor at the University of Miami. "That's part of the Cuban exile experience, the political and psychological trauma of it. So the idea that he was murky on those does not cut ice."
And while some Cubans do not draw a distinction between those who fled Cuba after Castro took power and those who left before that date, others do. "To my father and grandparents, if you came before the revolution, it puts you in a different category," Dr. Gonzalez said.
Some don't:
Here's what Andy S. Gomez, a Cuban-American Democrat and senior fellow at the University of Miami's Institute for Cuban & Cuban-American Studies, told The Miami Herald:
"I have spent my career studying the Cuban exile community and can say with authority that no distinction is made within the exile community between those who arrived in the years leading up to the revolution, and those who came after," Gomez said in a written statement. "They all share the painful heritage of not being able to return home. It's no wonder The Washington Post made this claim without a single bit of proof to back it up. Because it doesn't exist."

The Vikings Dynamic DuoPosted by on October 29, 2009 – 6:59 am
Since Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress began his tenure in Minnesota, the Vikings have boasted the league's 2nd best rushing attack, rushing for 7,631 yards over 55 games. RB Adrian Peterson has paced this production since his rookie season in 2007, leading the NFL with 3,788 rushing yards and 30 TDs.
But this year the Vikings offensive production has been anything but a 1-man band. The Vikings have displayed an efficient and productive passing offense to pair with their dominating ground attack.
The Vikings rank 8th in passing offense and tied for 7th in passing TDs. And it's been a dynamic duo for the Vikings that has allowed them to execute this offensive balance.
Peterson and WR Sidney Rice are currently the most dangerous rushing-receiving duo in the NFC and the 2nd-most dangerous in the NFL. Peterson's 687 rushing yards and Rice's 545 receiving yards account for 1,232 of the Vikings 2,475 total yards. Only the Bengals duo of WR Chad Ochocinco (573) and RB Cedric Benson (720) has more (1,293).
The past 2 weeks have been especially productive for this duo thanks to Rice's back-to-back 100-yard days. Against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6 and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7, Rice amassed 312 receiving yards, which is the 5th-highest total in team history for 2 consecutive games. No player in the NFL has more yards over the last weeks.
Peterson, meanwhile, is 2nd in the NFL with his 687 yards rushing and he's averaging 5.0 yards per carry. The 2-time Pro Bowler is on pace for just under 1,570 yards rushing and 18 TDs.

Weighing Scales
I am not a Baltimore native, but I moved here three years ago. One of the first places we were advised to visit was the Inner Harbor, which, aside from the U.S.S. Constellation, was a disappointment. Before too long, we found out Baltimore had a zoo and trekked to Druid Hill Park to check it out, where we immediately fell in love with the facility, the animals, and the warm-hearted staff. When we asked Baltimore natives after our first visit what they thought of the zoo, we were shocked to hear most people dont go and have not visited in decades. With the National Zoo so close by, why bother? Frankly, having been to both, I can answer that question: The Baltimore Zoo is better. In fact, I have visited zoos from Chicago to New York to Frankfurt, Germany, and I enjoy Baltimores zoo the most. Easter egg hunts, microbrew festivals, Halloween camping, and even a black-tie gala are some of the annual events held among the animals. Behind-the-scenes tours are available and inexpensive; there is nothing better than being able to pet a giraffe.
But the demise of the Baltimore Zoo rests with all of us. It rests with the people who dont go and support one of the best attractions this city has to offer. It rests with the government officials who chopped the $700,000 of annual support. It rests with those who have not done enough to make the Druid Hill Park area a safe and appealing area to visit. And yes, it rests with the zoo, which will ultimately cut off its nose to spite its face. The zoo is simultaneously downsizing even its popular exhibits (the gibbons, which bring a crowd of 12 to 20 people around the clock and appear to breed regularly, and the babies are quite an attraction) and buying three trolleys for people who complain about walking a steep hill. Last time I looked around Baltimore, people could use a good walk. Im angry because I love the zoo, and like an ailing family member, when you hear the death rattle you wonder at the injustice of it all. If the gates to the nations third-oldest zoo close for good, we will only have ourselves to thank.
Marc-Oliver Wright
I was surprised to read that nobody wants to see the Baltimore Zoos Reptile House close. I was delighted to hear of its closing, and I only wish the entire zoo would close down, along with every other animal prison (to call the zoo by a more accurate name) in the world. As for John Waters question about where else weird, little children can go to be inspired, I would suggest that instead of watching kidnapped, caged animals, kids might be better off watching Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, or Desperate Living.

Nathans Famous
I thoroughly enjoyed the article written by Christina Royster-Hemby on Dr. Nathan Carter (Arts and Entertainment, To Gods Ears, July 28). I never met Dr. Carter but Ive seen his concerts, as my mother was a well-respected musician, Mary Lacy Moore, who died in 1996. Keep up the good work, Christina.

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading To Gods Ears by Christina Royster-Hemby. Royster-Hemby captured the spirit of Dr. Nathan Carter and all that he stood forperfection. As Royster-Hemby interviewed the previous students, she seemed to let her readers know the respect and dignity this great man embodied. Ill look forward to reading more from Royster-Hemby and anticipate the same in-depth coverage she provided in this article.

Want to Sax U Up
As a sax player and jazz fan, I greatly appreciated Geoff Himes July 21 article Sax and the City, especially his focus on the late sax great Mickey Fields. People interested in jazz or just open to new sounds should realize what a wealth of talent we still have in and around Bmore.
Recently at Artscape, many of the people who stopped by our booth were amazed at the number and location of live jazz venues in and around Baltimore: more than two dozen in the city and about an equal number in the surrounding counties. Our Web site, www.baltimorejazz.com, lists them all on a two-month calendar.

No Trial Needed?
As a nurse, I sympathize with Angelina Ware and the plight of her daughter in the Baltimore City Detention Center, but my true sympathy lies with the victim, whom her daughter is accused of attempting to kill (Mobtown Beat, Miscarriage of Justice, July 21). Where was Ware when her 16-year-old daughter was out getting pregnant and committing this horrific crime? I am so sick of these mothers seeking help for their children after the fact, such as Ware trying to get the Public Defenders Office to advocate on her daughters behalf. Ware and the rest of the parents like her need to grow up, act like parents, and stop allowing jails, juvenile detention centers, or mental institutions to raise their kids.

Green on the Scene
In the July 21 issue of City Paper, Erin Sullivan incorrectly identified a Republican candidate as the only challenger to 17-year incumbent Rikki Spector for a seat representing the 5th District on the Baltimore City Council (Quick and Dirty, From the West Side to the Middle East).
Voters in the 5th District may have already noticed another (active) campaign for City Council being run by Dr. Terrence Fitzgerald, an addiction medicine specialist at Baltimore City drug rehab clinics like Man Alive! Many in the 5th District have already met Dr. Fitzgerald, talked with one of his campaigners, or read about his campaign in the Baltimore Messenger or The Sun. Those that havent will see his name on the ballot under the Maryland Green Party.
I agree with assertions that Sullivan makes in the rest of the column, that we need different leadership . . . willing to stick around a little longer, and Dr. Fitzgerald has lived in the district since 1984. He has also sent his children to public schools like Mount Washington Elementary and Fallstaff Middle. In short, he is running a serious campaign and is in Baltimore City to stay (apparently unlike the absentee Republican Elliott Cahan). More information can be found at www.electdrfitzgerald.com.
Its important to remember that there are more than two registered state political parties, and the Green Party, for one, is actively running for office in all levels of state, county, and municipal elections.
Nicholas Creamer
Erin Sullivan responds: We were quickly informed by Republican candidate Elliott Cahan himself of the incorrect assertion that he was the only candidate challenging Spector. We ran a correction in last weeks issue of City Paper, and we fully intend to cover the citys Green Party candidates in our upcoming elections reporting. As for the initial error, mea culpa.
Abhor In The Floor Review
It might be sharing too much to admit that I blew shrimp salad out my nose, reading your critics thumbnail review of The Door in the Floor (Film Clips, July 21). Laughter and deploring make a hard sneeze.
If you must send sniveling kids to review serious films, choose someone with heartier literary chops. One could hear the poor things eeuuuw.
Its not a great film, but the adaptation of John Irvings A Widow for One Year beautifully gets the storys veritas, and Jeff Bridges is wonderful as the dissolute husband Ted Cole.
Ill put Bridges description of the plow cleaving the family sedan up there with anything Marlon Brando did. As pimply, hot-dicked Eddie listens, mortalitys horrors fairly bleed out of the ruined father.

The Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville becomes the focus of area high school hockey this week as the final 16 teams of the Blackhawk Cup Red Division state tournament converge on the Chicago Blackhawks' practice facility.
Naperville Central and Neuqua Valley are among the 16 teams with the Wildcats taking the ice on Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. Neuqua, a 12th seed, takes on fifth-seeded St. Rita.
Neuqua has faced St. Rita once this season, a 4-0 defeat to the Mustangs on Oct. 10 in the High School Invitational Tournament.
The winner moves forward to a Saturday, 3:15 p.m. quarterfinal game against the winner of the second game on Tuesday between No. 4 Stevenson and No. 20 Providence which sent No. 13 New Trier Blue home in a play-in game.
Meanwhile, Naperville Central, seeded 11th, faces No. 6 Barrington on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. The Redhawks defeated the Broncos 4-1 on Nov. 29 in the HIT. Recently, Neuqua downed Barrington in the Scholastic Cup quarterfinals, 3-2.
A Redhawks victory puts them in a Sunday, 7:15 p.m. quarterfinal contest against either third-seeded Loyola Gold or No. 19 St. Viator.
The big question obviously is which teams leave The Edge after the March 11 semifinals en route to the Blackhawk Cup championship game on March 15 at the United Center?
Since Fenwick won back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004 and New Trier Green winning from 1998-2002, there has been a different state champ each season with New Trier Green prevailing again in 2005, Glenbrook South in 2006 and Glenbrook North, this season's top seed, winning last year.
Who do you think will make it to the United Center and hoist the championship trophy?

Victorian Pantry Bistro & Catering owner Steve Stogdill shares a recipe for a great Christmas appetizer.
Christmas Spud Cake Parmesan
2 lbs. spuds, baked
4 T. cheddar cheese, shredded
4 T. onion, sliced
1tsp. pepper
2 cloves garlic
12 T. parmesan cheese, shredded
4 T. bread crumbs
4 T. olive oil
12 tomato slices
Brush spuds with olive oil and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, or until soft. Use interesting, flavorful spuds, like Yukon Gold or Fingerling. Using parchment paper on a baking tray, place the 12 Tablespoons of parmesan cheese individually, (each a tablespoon in size), onto the sheet. Bake 3-5 minutes until the cheese has melted into a flat coin. Grill tomato slices on a dry grill pan or grill.
Combine the cooked spuds, cheddar, onion, garlic and pepper in a mixing bowl and blend. Use a small ice cream scoop to portion spud coins. Toss spud coins into bread crumbs to coat. Put olive oil in a pan and sauté until they are a nice golden color.
Assemble the appetizer, starting by placing your parmesan coin on your platter. Then top it with the spud coin, then the slice of tomato.
To enhance the Christmas colors, you could garnish with sliced fresh basil.

Friday, 30 March 2012 00:00What ever happened to the former President George W. Bush? In 27 Republican debates that began May 5, 2011 all the presidential candidates, without exception have had collective amnesia about Bush and his administration. It is as though his presidency never was, an administration whose policies both domestic and foreign brought the nation to the brink of collapse (i.e. sub-prime mortgage crisis, economic crisis, two wars, Afghanistan and Iraq, income inequality, to name a few).
The strategy of saturating the public media with several candidates in multiple debates leaves one to believe that it was designed to erase Bush's administration from the public's memory. Not once did any candidate mention his name. Instead, the former President Ronald Reagan was held up as the champion and hero, quoting his familiar line "America, as the shining city on the hill." Pretty words and platitudes, repetition, acrimony, bold-faced ambition, ego trips and exploitation of the process is what the American public has had to endure.
Coming down the home stretch for the Republican nomination is Mitt Romney, the millionaire, and the runner-up, a coal miner's grandson, Rick Santorum. Both want "their America back." One would ask where has it been and to whom does it belong? America is a nation of over 300 million diverse peoples that practice freely their beliefs, who have suffered the consequences of the now invisible Bush and his administration.
America in the past three and a half years has struggled to regain its economic health from a near collapse. Isn't a thriving, prosperous America what all Americans want? Stratifying people, as the elite, the upper class, middle class, and the "free loaders," as they have been described, is what divides us, and everyone is vying to preserve his own interests. "Freedom," "One America," "E Pluribus Unum" are the candidates' jingoistic slogans meant to get our vote. But is that all they have to offer?
Bush left a mess behind and the cleanup for the present administration hasn't been easy. Since Bush left office, accelerating technology has changed the world. A flood of information instantly available is leading to a global growing awareness, not only about politics and candidates, but how people can mobilize overnight to change governments and any status quo.

You Are On My Mind
Well, hello again! I finished this card a couple of days ago for the Tiddly Inks Challenge ... and then I forgot to post it. So I've got just a few hours left to squeeze it in before the challenge deadline.
This little cutie is You Are On My Mind and she's colored with copics and colored pencils. Isn't she precious? And look at all that hair! I used glitter paint on the heart she's holding. My sentiment is from Precious Remembrance Shop's Friend Stamp Set. Tiddly Inks' challenge is to use fabric so I made a yo yo flower from cotton muslin and added a cute heart-shaped button.
Thanks for stopping by.
I would like to enter my card in this challenge:
Crafty Boots Challenge - Glitter
Crafty Creations Challenge 160 - Stripes
Little Claire's Monthly Challenge 18 - Romance

Devastated by the sudden death of his parents in a car crash, veterinary student Jacob Jankowski (Robert Pattinson) abandons his studies in his final year and hops aboard a train. He soon finds out it's part of a traveling circus and tries to get a job with them. When August (Christoph Waltz), the head animal trainer, finds out Jacob is a veterinarian, he hires him to look after the animals.
Jacob falls for August's young wife, Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), and learns that August is an abusive man, both towards animals and humans. Jacob struggles to hide his feelings and to keep his job, despite the circus' money troubles and the tendency of the bosses to redlight workers (throw them off the train in the middle of the night when they no longer need them).
Based on the novel by Sara Gruen.
this movie was not the best as they could have chosen actors who like eachother. reece didn't step up to her role because she didn't want to kiss robert as they do not like eachother!
excellent show.. very intense at times, one that definetly keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Very well acted albeit somewhat desturbing scenes. A very beleivable script

Exaggerated stories of hitting prowess and fielding ability dominated the discussions and were told by all. The fine cuisine provided by Bollinger's coupled with the companionship the team still enjoys led to a very entertaining morning by all who attended.

NP Fellowship: DUTY HOURS
Fellows are required to serve regular duty hours, as designated by the coordinating teaching faculty members and the Program Director. In general, standard duty hours will be between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M Monday through Friday. During standard working hours, the supervising teaching faculty members are available in person; other faculty members are available by scheduled appointment, by phone, or by pager.
Formative Evaluations
A program of formative evaluations is the second method for evaluations. These consist of tasks identified by the department as representative of core competencies needed to practice neuropathology. Tasks will be appropriate to the trainee's level of training and will include elements of the 6 core competencies identified by ACGME. Mastery of individual tasks is documented by staff signature and progress will be documented in the six-month evaluation described below.
Duty Hours (ACGME Mandatory):
Duty hours are defined as all clinical and academic activities related to the training program, i.e., patient care (both inpatient and outpatient), administrative duties related to patient care, the provision for transfer of patient care, time spent in-house during call activities, and scheduled academic activities such as conferences. Duty Hours DO NOT include reading and preparation time spent away from the duty site.
Duty hours are limited to 80 hours per week, averaged over a four-week period, inclusive of all in house call activities. Since the neuropathology fellow does not take in house call, it would be rare for the fellow to work more than 55-60 hours per week. Because of this, the program does not keep a formal log of fellow work hours.
Residents are provided with 1 day in 7 free from all educational and clinical responsibilities, averaged over a 4-week period, inclusive of call. One day is defined as one continuous 24-hour period free from all clinical, educational, and administrative activities. Duty periods cannot last for more than 24 hours, residents may remain on duty for six additional hours to participate in didactic activities, and maintain continuity of patient care. Residents are allowed 10 hours for rest and personal activities between daily duty periods and after in house call that has extended up to the 24 hour limit. Faculty members will provide or arrange for alternative means of covering resident's call responsibilities when needed to maintain compliance with ACGME standards.
The number of continuous hours worked by a fellow rarely exceeds 12-14 hours/day, and residents should have >12 hours between shifts. The fellow is not scheduled for weekend call, and will average >1day/7 free of clinical, educational, and administrative activities. The neuropathology faculty cover after hours (5 PM-8 AM) and week-end call.
The program director and the faculty monitor the demands of the service responsibilities in this program and make scheduling adjustments as necessary to mitigate excessive service demands and/or fatigue. Fellows are informed of the policies regarding Duty Hours, and are instructed to inform the program director immediately if they feel they are approaching 80 work hours in a given week. The teaching faculty members are also made aware of the resident Duty Hour policies.
Coverage for fellow time off:
When the fellow is off for illness, vacation, meeting attendance or other valid reasons, the attending on service will generally cover the fellow's responsibilities. If a senior AP resident is on service, he or she will take over some of the fellow's responsibilities, but it is generally assumed that the resident will not have the appropriate experience of knowledge of the system to assume all responsibilities.
Moonlighting is permitted for fellows only when 1) it clearly does not interfere with the resident's academic goals, 2) total worked hours (OHSU hours + moonlighting) are within ACGME standards as outlined elsewhere, and 3) patient care and other service responsibilities are not adversely affected. The program director reviews all moonlighting activity, including the number of total hours the fellow is working, during quarterly evaluations.

Cardiac device clinic
If a pacemaker or ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) helps to regulate your heartbeat, we can help you make sure your cardiac device is working properly.
In the news
Cardiac care options may expand in Alexandria
Douglas County Hospital (DCH) has taken preliminary steps to provide cardiology services locally.
Cardiologists are doctors who identify, treat and help you manage conditions like angina, heart attack, heart rhythm problems, high blood pressure, peripheral artery disease (PAD) and stroke.
These cardiologists from Minneapolis Heart Institute® bring heart health care to Alexandria area residents.
Kevin M Harris, MD, FACC, FASE
Angina is chest pain caused by poor blood flow through the blood vessels of the heart muscle.
Learn more about angina in our health encyclopedia or heart health manual.
Heart attack
Heart attack happens when an artery that feeds your heart muscle becomes blocked with plaque (fatty deposits) or by a clot. When the blood cannot flow to the heart, damage or death to the heart muscle may occur.
Heart rhythm problems
Arrhythmia or dysrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat or rhythm. There are many kinds.
Learn more about heart rhythm problems in our heart health manual.
High blood pressure
Blood pressure is the amount of pressure within the walls of your arteries. High blood pressure is increased pressure against artery walls.
Learn more about high blood pressure in our heart health manual.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurs when plaque clogs the arteries in your legs, reducing blood flow to your legs and feet.
A stroke results when blood and oxygen flow to the brain is stopped or interrupted. This happens because of a ruptured or blocked blood vessel.
Cardiac device clinic: Pacemaker and ICD follow-up program
If a pacemaker or ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) helps to regulate your heartbeat, we can help you make sure your cardiac device is working properly. Our experts can evaluate your cardiac device and adjust settings so that you benefit the most.
Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound)
An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart.
Stress echocardiogram
Stress echocardiography is a test that uses ultrasound imaging to determine how the heart muscles respond to stress. It is mainly used to diagnose and evaluate coronary artery disease.
When you have a rhythm problem with your heart (usually when it beats too slowly or if both sides of your heart don't beat together), you may need a pacemaker. A pacemaker is a medical device that can help your heart beat regularly.
ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator)
If your heart is beating too fast or irregularly, your doctor may decide that you need a device that gives your heart an electrical shock to restore your heart to a regular rhythm. This device is called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

text: On June 26, 2002, approximately 1930 central daylight time, a Beech BE-V35B single-engine airplane, N1SU, was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power while on final approach to the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, Ryan Field (BTR), Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The private pilot and his passenger, who were co-owners of the airplane, sustained minor and no injuries, respectively. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a flight plan was not filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The local flight departed BTR approximately 10 minutes prior to the accident.The pilot reported that the airplane had undergone recent maintenance, and he and the co-owner wanted to perform a test flight around the traffic pattern. After a preflight and a 10 minute engine run-up, the airplane departed BTR for a single traffic pattern flight. On downwind abeam the approach end of runway 22L, the pilot reduced the power to 15 inches of manifold pressure. During the turn to final approach to runway 22L, the pilot attempted to increase engine power; however, there was no response from the engine. The pilot applied full throttle with the auxillary fuel pump turned ON; however, there was still no change in engine power. After performing a "safety check," the pilot realized he would not make the runway and initiated a forced landing to a field. During the forced landing, the airplane impacted trees and a roadway ditch, crossed a road, and came to rest upright short of the airport. The engine was removed from the airframe and shipped to the manufacturer's facility for further examination by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). According to an FAA inspector, who responded to the accident site, the nose gear was separated, the firewall was bent, and both wings sustained structural damage.A review of the airframe and engine maintenance records revealed that the engine underwent it's most recent 100-hour inspection on August 13, 2001, at a total time of 5,964.2 hours, and 1,993.2 hours since major overhaul. On June 18, 2002, at a total time of 6,126.3 hours, an air/oil separator was installed in accordance with (IAW) supplemental type certificate (STC) SA02033AT. This installation was the most recent maintenance performed on the airplane.On September 16, 2002, at the facilities of Teledyne Continental Motors (TCM) in Mobile, Alabama, under the supervision of the NTSB, the engine was examined and test run. The engine was test run for 40 minutes at various power settings. During the engine test run, a magneto drop test was performed, and a high drop on one magneto was noted. At the completion of the test run, due to the high magneto drop on the test cell, the the engine timing was check. The timing check revealed that the right magneto was at 20 degrees before top center (BTC), and left magneto was at 22 degrees BTC. According to TCM technicians, the engine developed power on the test cell. "No discrepancy was found on this engine inspection that would have caused a power loss."
