I am Nicholas Escobar, a graduate of The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am from the southern suburbs of Chicago. I worked at The Daily Illini, the independent student newspaper at the university for three years. In my time there I was a reporter, the metro editor, the design editor and a designer. I have covered elections, both in the field and in house, worked on a redesign and rebuilt the design desk at The Daily Illini. My passion lies in page design but I also have experience with multimedia including audio, audio slideshows and video. After Poynter I will be looking for a job as a designer or for something involving multimedia.

Five men tear down the sidewalk along North Shore Drive in St. Petersburg, Fla. The group cackles like a villainous biker gang from a Charles Bronson movie. With the mist of Tampa Bay against their faces, they force women to reel in their dogs and bikers to peddle on grass.
The ruffians cruise at 12 mph past the million-dollar homes of the Old Historic Northeast neighborhood north of downtown.
They are kings of the sidewalk. These men ride Segways.
These men — I am one of them — are part of a guided Segway tour along a stretch of St. Petersburg's Tampa Bay beachfront.
The tour departs from the St. Petersburg Museum of History at the entrance to the Pier.
We go through an intense five-minute training session learning how to use the gray personal transports. Read more

The Northeast beat extends father north — and east — than any other Summer Fellowship beat. It's bordered on the east by Tampa Bay, and it's northernmost point, Snell Isle, is surrounded mostly by bayou. To the north, it's adjacent to the Woodlawn neighborhood of St. Petersburg, and to the east, the East of 34th Street beat. It incorporates most of Downtown St. Pete, and its southernmost points reach all the way to the Southeast and Maggiore beats.
Northeast is home to the Kids & Kubs 75-and-older softball league, local and chaincoffeehouses, public parks with banyan trees and carnivals galore. Its shuffleboard club is the new hip thing and the alphabet is everywhere. Read some earlier stories about the beat here and here, but don't forget to check back on Wednesday, June 13, for a new perspective and new stories from Northeast St. Read more

BITD with Chris Landry and Lou used to climb on this feature fairly often. We had actually spent most of our Glenwood time on ice in the winter. That is when we discovered this granite section and some good crack climbing. Driving back and forth to Aspen, 1973ish. Suckin' Wind stood out, so we did it with the offwidth. We were hooked on crack climbing. We did almost every crack we could find on that thing. Plus a difficult face pitch at the top center. We never recorded or wrote up anything. The only reason Suckin' Wind got any publicity is that it was obvious and Glen Randall was looking for routes for his book, this one came to mind. We rated it 5.10. All the other stuff, crack climbs in the area were pretty good, but the crux was always getting across the river. Suckin' Wind (breathing hard) was the best, not the hardest, but the best. What's with all the bolted anchors? I remember bomber natural anchors and placements. I think we used to walk off which is how we scoped a lot of other possibilities.
One day Chris and I were climbing on the face toward the tracks, that last face pitch, and saw rafts coolers and oars float by. We later found out several people had attempted to float through Shoshone Rapid. All died and washed up on a sand bar near GS.

This is me, Georg (then 14), enjoying the Garden of Penjerrick.
I still remember my first visit to Penjerrick as if it were yesterday. Not only were my family and I instantly enchanted by this place, with its wild setting, hidden paths, overgrown tree ferns and colourful flowers. We were also touched by the story of Rachel Morin, the owner, who was working her way through the jungle in the lower garden when we met her. She told us about the garden and the problems the upkeep brings with it. This was when I decided to make this website, which will hopefully attract the attention of many other garden lovers.
If you would like to contact me regarding this website, here is my e-mail address:
I would also welcome any feedback regarding your visit to Penjerrick and will gladly pass it on to Rachel Morin.

Viktor Navorski (Hanks) lands at JFK airport, to find his homeland of Krakozhia has dissolved in a rebellion and his passport is no longer valid. Stranded in a bureaucratic no-man's land, he must live in the airport, unable to go home, unable to venture onto American soil…
Far less cuddly than expected, this unusual and elegant movie may have failed to connect with US audiences but it proves Spielberg is currently the most unpredictable director in Hollywood.

The drought is creating some muddy dangers on dry lake beds.
Just ask Ed Roberts.
He was stuck in a boggy hole on Lake Hefner's expanding shoreline.
Along drought-stricken bodies of water, pockets of water can lie under the sand, some covered with a top layer that appears crusted and cracked.
"You can never know how deep the pocket is. You might end up stuck up to your waist or you could sink deeper," Roberts said.
Getting stuck in the mud has been a problem for livestock around vanishing farm ponds.
Mucky silt deposits can stay wet for more than a year, said Nels Rodefeld, with the state Department of Wildlife Conservation.
Dry ground that once was underwater can give way to waist deep mud.
"It might look like it's dry out there, but when you put your foot down you're up to your knee," Rodefeld said.
Most mud bogs around Oklahoma lakes are 3 to 4 feet deep, Rodefeld said, but just how far down some go is hard to tell since land that has been underwater for more than 50 years now is being exposed.
As Oklahoma's drought continues, murky hazards will remain around lakes and ponds that are drying up.
It is illegal to drive off road at most state lakes and parks, but there are no laws against walking on a dry lake bed, Rodefeld said.
Watch your step
Roberts said the ground he was walking across at Lake Hefner looked solid. But he sank and found himself trapped. He lay on his back and pulled himself through the mud.

Jeff Meadors: Schools rise and fall on leadership
You began your article by mentioning your family's legacy. Does that gives you some sort of instant credibility? It appears your article is an attempt to attack the previous principal. Somehow you refuse to move forward. You should look in the mirror. Leadership should start with you! Personally I feel you are a very divisive individual. It takes the involvement of the community to become successful in the educational arena. Parents, students, administrators, school employees and local government all are stakeholders. Parents should also be held accountable for their children's progress. If children spend less time on social media and more time studying, maybe then their grades and study habits will improve. Why are we always blaming the school system, the administration, and our teachers? Students' behaviors are attributed to the type of discipline they receive at home. If discipline is not enforced at home, how can we expect them to be disciplined at school? Hopefully, you will be a one-term board member.
Eyeball 2 years, 6 months ago on Gun ordinance proposal under fire
Gun ordinance proposal under fire
According to the county attorney's office, the South River Gun Club is off limits due to a grandfather clause that was voted on by our commissioners. The SRGC is responsible for a number of these nuisance calls. I would like the Chairman and other commissioners explain this grandfather clause to the citizens. Who was involved in approving this clause? When was it established? How is it that the SRGC can operate 7 days a week, 365 days out of the year with no restrictions? Not only do they violate the noise ordinance, they jeopardize the safety of the surrounding neighborhoods. Additionally, Newton County Citizens have a right as tax paying citizens to feel safe and secure. Not all gun owners are responsible citizens. One death is one too many. Once that trigger is pulled, there is no point of return. People should be able to talk and discuss important issues without allowing their personal prejudices to prevail.

Jeff Meadows is catering to the right wing Republicans in Newton County. Jeff Meadows is trying to position himself for public office.

I totally agree with you. Mort Ewing and his other right wing buddies is the reason John Middleton has an increase in power. It was Mort Ewing who wanted our form of government to change. After it was done, he left office. Also the county attorney should be included in this group. We the citizens need to voice our opinion and fire Tommy Craig. When he leaves, we need to get rid of John Middleton as well.

Republicans speak out against divisive commentary
He was speaking for the REPUBLICAN Party. If he wasn't, someone would have step forward and challenge his statement. Mrs. Davis should have spoken up immediately, not after considering how she will be viewed. I guarantee you, someone in Newton County will voice their true feelings soon. It's just a matter of time! One's true feeling will eventually rear it's ugly head. You notice how the Republican Party always state, "We need to take back the White House." Take back the White House from who? The statement is referencing our BLACK president. Some of our local politicians have made the same reference when running against a black candidate. The Republicans will not be happy until two things happen: A return to slavery and Another chance at winning the Civil War. Don't hold your breath, neither of these will happen. Get over it!

CSR without IC is an empty promise
May 11, 2011 by Mary Adams · Comments Off
There is a great discussion going on at the IC Knowledge Center about a new EU report on non-financial reporting. Here's my take:
I think it's interesting that there were 259 respondents to the public consultation. That shows that there are a lot of people out there thinking about the many facets of non-financial reporting.
But I share both Anne Marie and Abhijit's concerns that there is no mention of IC. In fact, the report actually makes an explicit definition on page 2 of non-financial reporting as CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). While CSR is an important external focus for companies, there also needs to be an internal view of sustainability around knowledge intangibles–the human, relationship, strategic and structural knowledge that together drive corporate success.

NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Hornets refused to be held down.
The Toronto Raptors refused to be denied.
After watching the Hornets fight back to send the game into overtime, Toronto got a 3-pointer by point guard Kyle Lowry, and a big shot by DeMar DeRozan that sealed the deal, as Toronto won 104-97 Friday night at the New Orleans Arena.
DeRozan scored a game-high 30 points but the Raptors (10-20), who came into the game 2-15 on the road, won in overtime by reclaiming their defense which had given them control of the game since the second quarter until the Hornets (6-23) battled back.
Toronto, winners of six of their past seven, held New Orleans to 3-of-11 shooting in overtime while making four of six field-goal attempts and all four free throws.
"They did what they needed to do in overtime," Hornets coach Monty Williams said. "They attacked the basket for the first two scores and were able to go from there and get the win."
The loss was 12th in 13 games for the Hornets, coming after what seemed to be an encouraging road at Orlando on Wednesday. It was their ninth loss in the past 10 home games.
The loss offset a near triple-double by point guard Greivis Vasquez, who had 20 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds, and 25 points and nine rebounds by Anthony Davis. Ryan Anderson scored 17 points, 12 after the third quarter, and made the 3-pointer that sent the game into overtime tied at 91.
But that's when the Hornets, who had trailed since late in the third quarter, seemed to come up for air. And, that's when the Raptors pounced.
Center Amir Johnson scored low, and after a miss by Davis, Lowry drove for a reverse layup, giving Toronto a 95-91 lead. After a tip-in by Anderson, Lowry sank a 3-pointer when the Hornets, trying to compensate when DeRozan was isolated on rookie Austin Rivers, were late rotating to the other side of the court.
DeRozan sank a 20-footer with 31.7 seconds left that gave the Raptors a 102-95 lead, ending the Hornets' hopes.
Defense had been the key for the Raptors for nearly the entire game, certainly after the first quarter. The Hornets committed 16 turnovers while Toronto, with Lowry and veteran point guard Jose Calderon controlling things well, had just seven.
"We just tried to keep them off rhythm by constantly changing things up," said Lowry, who had 17 points and eight assists in his first game back since Dec. 12 from a partially torn triceps.
When DeRozan made a three-point play on the fast break after a turnover by Rivers, making the score 90-83 with 1:38 left in the fourth quarter, things looked bleak for the Hornets. However, backup point guard Brian Roberts sank a 3-pointer that set things in motion.
With 16 seconds left, the Hornets trailed 91-88. Anderson came off a screen behind the 3-point line, and his shot bounced on the rim, then fell through. With eight seconds left, DeRozan got the ball isolated against Lance Thomas on the wing and drove right, but missed against solid defense, sending the game into overtime.
The Hornets fell into a hole in the second quarter that Williams said was a key in the loss. New Orleans took a 10-point first-quarter lead, but only led 23-21 at quarter's end.
The Raptors began asserting themselves in the second quarter with their depth and athleticism, particularly on defense. They held the Hornets to 6-of-18 shooting and forced four turnovers in outscoring New Orleans 27-19 and taking a 48-42 lead. Toronto led 70-64 at the end of the third.

What I Love: Anne's Thrifted and Collected-Abroad Cookware Treasures

Earlier this week we peeked into stylist Anne Parker's lovingly cared for kitchen in Portland, Oregon, and yesterday we learned a few things about her cooking style. We couldn't close off this tour, though, without highlighting Anne's collection of pottery, cutting boards, bowls, teapots, and other beautiful curios she's gathered from nearby thrift shops, estate sales, and Paris flea markets. (She once lugged around a dozen hand-thrown plates for a whole day — they were just too pretty and too good of a steal to pass up!)

Yesterday I shared Chelsea's lovely kitchen, the charming little space in Portland where she does all her home cooking, prop styling, and floral arranging. Chelsea describes her self as a 'lazy cook' — hardly! She whip up the most delightful one-pot meals with only a few tools. Here are the tools she uses most often and what she makes with them.
Le Pigeon by Gabriel Rucker, Meredith Erickson, and Lauren and Andrew Fortgang
New Cookbook
Restaurant cookbooks are a tricky thing. On one hand, a lot of food cooked in restaurants is simply more than a home cook can to tackle: more ingredients, more technique, more time, more expense. And that's one of the reasons we go to restaurants, right? So that they will cook all this amazing stuff for us so we don't have to. But on the other hand, restaurant food is very inspiring and often, if we're willing to put in a little time and effort, it's not so out of our reach. There's a great deal of satisfaction when we achieve something beyond our comfort zone. Which is why restaurant cookbooks like Le Pigeon: Cooking at the Dirty Bird just might be worth checking out.

If you're already shaking up cocktails or sipping your morning smoothie from mason jars, you'll be glad to hear about the Portland Press, a french press coffee maker that uses a 24-ounce canning jar in place of the usual glass beaker. Even better, it is made in Portland from materials sourced in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.

My husband and I have lived in this rental kitchen in Portland, Oregon for over a year now, and while it isn't a designer showcase space, it does have its quirks and charms. It's been the site of many cups of hot chocolate, champagne toasts, triumphs and failures, for which I'm incredibly grateful.

What: Pacific Pie Co.
Where: Portland, Oregon
While I've always considered myself a chocolate cake over fruit pie person (I'm a diehard chocoholic, what can I say!), a slice of Sarah's apple sour cream streusel just about converted me. The flaky, buttery crust paired with local gala apples and crunchy topping bowled me over with its delicate balance of flavor, texture and natural sweetness. Just in time for Thanksgiving (prime pie season!) join us for a tour of this Portland-based pie shop.

Man Accused Of Stabbing Nurse With Metal Spike Incompetent For Trial
CUMBERLAND, Md. (AP) — A state psychiatric hospital patient in Cumberland is moving to more secure surroundings after he was ruled incompetent to stand trial for allegedly stabbing a nurse in the head with a metal spike.
An Allegany County prosecutor said Monday that the judge ruled Thursday Craig Zello, 51, is a danger himself or others. So Zello is going to the maximum-security Clifton T. Perkins Hospital in Jessup.
Zello could still be tried for the October attack if he is found competent.
The Hagerstown man was a patient at the Thomas B. Finan Center in Cumberland when he allegedly plunged a 7-inch, galvanized metal spike into the back of a male nurse's head. The victim was treated at a local hospital and released.

History of the Paleopathology Club
The Paleopathology Club, one of the scientific societies that meets annually in association with the United States/Canadian branch of the International Academy of Pathology, was started by Marvin J. Allison, PhD and Enrique Gerszten, MD, pathologists at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. The Club has held meetings since 1978, rotating through principle cities in the United States and Canada.
The work of the Paleopathology Club in South America has proven to have a broader application to all of human history, since these studies illuminate the conditions in people of similar societies and environments around the world. Many findings have applications in the field of modern forensic pathology and serve to confirm or deny some of the written materials recorded in Spanish colonial archives and chronicles.
The Club also sponsors a paleopathology program as part of the International Academy's world meetings every two years, rotating this program through different cities in the world. Each session usually has four or five speakers focusing on international topics in paleopathology. Poster sessions have been incorporated in recent years. To maintain continued contact with it's members, case studies submitted by members are published quarterly on this web site. Members may try their diagnostic skill on these actual cases.

Syrians Streaming Into Iraq Find Hope And Food
Syrians Streaming Into Iraq Find Hope And Food (1)
Some 40,000 Syrian refugees have fled into northern Iraq over the past week in the largest single outpouring of asylum-seekers since the conflict began more than two years ago. Around 15,000 of them have come to Kawrgosk camp near the city of Erbil, capital of Iraq's Kurdistan Region. The tents in this image all went up in the space of a few days.
Syrians Streaming Into Iraq Find Hope And Food (6)
WFP reached over 3 million people inside Syria with food assistance and another 1.1 million refugees in Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey. WFP needs to raise $30 million a week to meet the food needs of families like this, who have been affected by the conflict.

NEWSWORTHY> Floating Cars in Fukushima Japan
Oh no! I've been glued to my computer screen, unable to take my eyes off the Al Jazeera/YouTube live stream that has been playing nonstop coverage of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Northeast Japan yesterday (March 10) at 2:42pm, not to mention the resulting tsunami that has been flooding parts of the Fukushima prefecture and other parts of Northeast Japan.
MotorMavens is not CNN or NBC or ABC or NHK. Why post news coverage such as this, then? Simple, really. I have developed many strong friendships in Japan, and I'm praying for all the people in Japan that are enduring this insane natural disaster… especially my close friends and family!
In case you didn't read the story I posted on the site a couple days ago, featuring the Team Orange CT9A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9, Fukushima Japan is the home of The Holy Land of Drifting, Ebisu Circuit. It's also the home of my very close friends from Team Orange. I've been trying to call their mobile phones for hours, but I can't reach any of them. I can only imagine that phone circuits must be jammed, busy, or non-functioning because of the tsunami… (more…)

After that detour into Pity-Me Pines from the alleged harasser, it's worth reading the interview in the NYT with Karen Kraushaar. Money quote:
"When you are being sexually harassed in the workplace, you are extremely vulnerable," she said. "You do whatever you can to quickly get yourself into a job someplace safe, and that is what I thought I had achieved when I left."
And this is a potential bombshell of a development:
She said she did not know whether or how she might tell more of her story, but had been warming "to the idea of a joint press conference where all of the women would be together with our attorneys and all of this evidence would be considered together."
At some point, the GOP may need to restrain Cain if he even further widens the gender gap among voters.

Fables, Vol. 14: Witches by Bill Willingham
No current Talk conversations about this book.
vol. 14
Much more to my taste! The Dark Man continues to wreak havoc and the witches of Fabletown begin to plot a way to defeat him with Frau Totenkinder disappearing on a mysterious mission. Meanwhile, political turmoil on the Farm, where the Fables of Fabletown have escaped as refugees, continues to grow more chaotic.
I have very mixed feelings about this collected volume. The art was good, not fantastic but good enough. But the story line with the witches annoyed me. The last two issues, were very good.
I found the introduction to be confusing and I felt like I was dropped into an ongoing story with no background information. It wasn't immediately clear who the boxers are and what there purpose was. The first issue was better than the intro, the big witch is set free and Snow White and Bigby are around briefly.
In story 2, I love Bufkin the monkey, Beauty announces she's preggers, Frau Totenkinder leaves town and is up to something. Not bad but average. Story 3 really annoyed me, I missed the regular characters but continued to love Bufkin. Story 4 didn't like and Ozma was declared leader. Story 5 Ozma and Gepetto fight for control. This issue a little better but still not great.
Stoy 6 and 7 I loved because the regular characters are back. 6 was my favorite, the baseball game was amusing and in 7 the story line continues with a goblin on trial for murder of another fable. Missed Snow and Bigby.
I'm really torn between giving this 3 and 4 stars, but I think I'll lean toward 3 because the witches story bored the crap out of me.
Oh, I had more love for this story. We return to Fables, and this time to Mister Dark. To more backgrounds, more research and more indepth knowledge on some of my most favorite second teir, mysterious characters -- The Witches of Floor 13.
I have to admit I didn't amazing love Bufkin's story, but it did amuse me. Mirror, Flowers girls, and all. The way they tell these stories, sometimes when I'm not in love with the characters, I still end up loving the story itself.
Not going to lie: I gleed at the image of Baby Yaga in her cauldron. (And all the flashbacks of Frau Totenkinder's past, and stories blurring together.)
This is one of those rare cases when the whole doesn't live up to the sum of its parts. I enjoyed all of its parts -- the Bofkin situation, the backstory of the boxers, and the epilogue with Flycatcher -- but the whole of it didn't mesh all that well. Well, Fables on an off day is still better than almost anything else out there, so there's still three stars in this, but I have, in general, felt the series has been a little ungrounded since the war ended and the battle against the Dark Man began (not that he's not a really cool villain -- he is).

NEWKIRK — The mother of Kelsey Smith-Briggs will be back in court Sept. 1 for a fact-finding hearing on the "strong possibility" of juror misconduct during her 2007 trial.
Evidentiary hearing set in Kelsey Smith-Briggs case
Kay County District Judge D.W. Boyd is holding the hearing to gather evidence for the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals.
The dead girl's mother, Raye Dawn Smith, is serving 27 years in prison for enabling child abuse. Smith, 30, is asking the appeals court for a new trial. A decision could come late this year.
The appeals court July 2 ordered the evidentiary hearing. The appeals court found witness statements filed in her appeal "contain sufficient information to show at least a strong possibility that a juror received information outside of the courtroom."
At issue is whether a female juror during the trial watched television coverage of the case and checked an Internet site devoted to Kelsey. A former co-worker claims the juror admitted to doing both.
The former co-worker also claims the juror during the trial "told me... Smith should fry... looked like a junkie, was trash and no good."
Jurors are supposed to avoid the news during a trial, not form any opinions until all the evidence is presented and not do any research outside the courtroom.
Kelsey, 2, is the Meeker girl whose death from abuse in 2005 became highly publicized.
Many Oklahomans were angered because she died even though DHS workers, a private child-welfare worker and a state judge were overseeing her care because of her repeated
The death prompted reform legislation and a lawsuit by the girl's father. The state last year paid $525,000 to settle the lawsuit.
The juror, Brandi Marie Oldham, said in an affidavit in 2007 that the jury deliberations and verdict "were based solely on the evidence we received in the courtroom during the course of the trial." Oldham on Friday declined to comment to The Oklahoman about the case.
"Sir, you need to not contact me," she said to a reporter when reached by phone at her work in Jenks.
The former co-worker, though, claims she called him several times daily during the trial with an update on what was going on.
In a 2008 affidavit, Ronald Todd Bowman, of Sapulpa, wrote the juror "admitted to me daily that she watched the television news coverage of the trial... and made statements to me that the news didn't know what she knew about the case."
Bowman also stated the juror "advised me... during the trial she and the other jurors looked at the Kelsey website to see what was on it and to see what information was being added."

Yesterday was Bodhi Day or Enlightenment Day and I wanted to post something about it today since I didn't get a chance yesterday.
Bodhi Day--Usually observed December 8 or the Sunday immediately preceding, is the date, according to Mahayana tradition, of Siddhartha Gautama's realization and presentation to his fellow seekers of the Four Noble Truths.
James's comment: Sometimes we Buddhists can feel a little left out during the year end holidays and so Bodhi Day is a great opportunity for us to be apart of the season. So you might want to take a moment either today or sunday to remember the enlightenment of the Buddha and rededicate yourself to the path of the Bodhisattva. It is also a great opportunity to celebrate the present moment and to offer service to those with less then us.
Another holiday for Buddhists comes on the first full moon of January as the Buddhist New Year. It is a chance to renew our commitment to live the Dharma in the new year. Yet another holiday is the celebration of the birth of the Buddha on the 8th of April or the sunday before(bows).

No, we know that the Founders

We know that the Founders can reproduce and have children. The idea that they do not reproduce regularly is speculation; the idea that there are currently no Founder children is speculation.
As for the female Founder, she was the only one in the AQ, no?
She was the one taking the lead in deciding Founder policy well before the outbreak of the war. She was the one they interacted with in numerous episodes set before then.
So the idea that all Founders are equally morally culpable agents--the idea, in essence, that they're all the same and all guilty--is just speculation. Until you get actual evidence of it, that's all it is.
And I sure as hell don't think we should default to assuming that they're all the same, that they're all a homogenous Other who bear equal moral responsibility for the Dominion's crimes. That sort of thinking is not the sort of assumption a moral policy should be based upon.
What I think is that you should stop insisting you know what changeling society is like,
I'm insisting nothing other than what we know the canonical evidence indicates.
but you seem unreasonably stubborn on insisting that changelings have kids and civilians based on no evidence whatsoever.
I have already cited evidence indicating Founder children and civilians.
And they probably developed a cure in case it jumped species.
A cure gives S31 leverage.
An act of mass terrorism that risks an entire species's extermination is not a meaningful step up the moral ladder.

- How to Read a Study Record
This multicentre RCT aims to compare two surgical treatments of haemorrhoidal disease: doppler-guided arterial ligation with mucopexy (DGALM) and stapled haemorrhoidopexy according to Longo (SH). The hypothesis of the trial is that the DGALM is at a lesser risk and is more cost-effective than SH. With a large number of patients managed in more than 20 centres, we aim to demonstrate that DGALM has a lower morbidity than SH when treating haemorrhoidal disease. At a lower postoperative risk and a lower risk of sequelae, the DGALM would demonstrate to be cost-effective for health care system and attractive for patients.

ATLANTA (AP) - Drew Little threw for a 287 yards and four
touchdowns to lead Georgia State to a 37-10 over Morehead State on
Little, who completed 21 of 29 passes and no interceptions,
threw touchdown passes of 12, 2, 6 and 12 yards for the Panthers
Danny Williams caught eight balls for 101 yards to became the
first player in the first-year program's history to surpass 100
receiving yards in a game.
The aggressive Georgia State defense frustrated a Morehead State
offense that scored 45 points last week, limiting the Eagles (2-3)
to 280 yards - 50 on the ground - and forced four turnovers.
Morehead State quarterback Zach Lewis was under pressure
throughout the game, completing 27 of 44 passes for 230 yards and
two interceptions. Lewis threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Jaison
Yoshimra for the Eagles' only touchdown. Ron McDermott had nine
receptions for 79 yards.
Georgia State scored on its first two possession, with Little
throwing to Giles for the a 6-yard touchdown and Parris Lee added a
4-yard scoring run for a 14-0 lead. The two teams exchanged field
goals - Morehead State getting a 27-yarder from Ranier Duzan and
Georgia State getting a school-record 49-yarder by Iain Vance.
Georgia State added two touchdown passes before the half to take
a 30-3 lead and complete the team's most prolific first half of the
Georgia State picked up 152 yards rushing, with Travis Evans
gaining 62 yards and Lee adding 38 yards and one touchdown. Desmond
Cox led Morehead State with 38 rushing yards.

Despite Big Business Contentions - Injured Workers Deserve Fair Compensation in North Carolina
Recently an article was written about the state of Montana's workers' compensation system. Big business is outraged that their state ranked first in workers' compensation premium rates, which in 2010, were 163 percent greater than the national average.
Our North Carolina workers' compensation lawyers in Hickory know in that same study North Carolina ranked 23rd -- or right down the middle of the road. And in 2008 we were ranked 22nd.
Montana lawmakers backed by big business were crying that the state was losing businesses due to high workers' compensation premiums. This should sound familiar as we have posted repeatedly on our North Carolina Workers' Compensation Lawyers Blog about changes to North Carolina's workers' compensation system pushed by big business looking to maximize profits at the expense of its workforce.
The article highlights a recent Montana workers' compensation case where an employee at a tourist attraction smoked marijuana just prior to feeding a grizzly bear. He was mauled by the bear and was awarded compensation for his medical bills totaling roughly $35,000.
The truth of the matter is workers' compensation is a system put in place to protect employers as well as employees. By virtue of workers' compensation, employees give up their rights in most instances to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. In return, they do get to collect regardless of whether they are at fault. Yes, even if they smoke a joint and are attacked while feeding a grizzly bear.
Nothing says the company can't drug test. And they are free to hire and fire employees based on their ability to exercise reasonable judgment in the workplace. We can certainly find many, many cases of horrific abuses on the part of employers. It's just that there is no lobby paying millions of dollars to publicize them.
Recent changes to Montana's workers' compensation system included a five year cap on medical benefits, taking away a worker's choice of doctor, permanent partial benefits were eliminated for certain injuries, hospital and doctors' fee schedules were frozen and limits were placed on employer's liability for injuries occurring not at the workplace during breaks or when engaging in personal business. Do some of these ring a bell? They should because North Carolina lawmakers wanted similar changes.
Each state has its own workers ' compensation system that varies greatly with basically no federal standards or involvement. Dating back to the 1970's, it was thought that there should be federal standards. Fearing federal involvement, a number of states raised benefits to injured workers to keep that from happening. Since the 1990's, states have been moving backwards favoring big business over injured workers -- and that includes North Carolina.
Texas is the only state that doesn't require employers to have some kind of workers' compensation insurance for their workers. Oklahoma completely overhauled their workers' compensation law this year that partially benefited injured workers. It hopes the injured worker will have less aggravation getting approval for medical claims and medical treatment. By establishing treatment guidelines employers and insurance companies won't be able to delay care to injured workers.

Problem is the lan is token ring so need to install Madge card driver. I have it copied in the tmp dir and untarred ready to make. However the first run of make in RH requires you to give the prefix (path) to the kernel headers or the source.
Checking on an install of the headers pkg, I am told it is already installed. The question is how do I find out where it is. I see the xx.h files but the make routine answers that what I put in for the prefix does not find the headers.
Yes, I am definitely a newbie.

Farewell (But Not Good-Bye)!
December 29th, 2014, by Patricia G. Lange § 2 Comments
When Jennifer Cool, Jordan Kraemer and I co-founded this blog we began on a web page and a prayer, or if you prefer, an incantation. Drawing on an "if you build it, they will come" inspiration, we felt that starting a blog would be a great way to encourage more conversation about science and technology studies. As members of CASTAC, the Committee on the Anthropology of Science, Technology and Computing, we felt excited about the organization's goals, and we sought ways to connect to the other members of the group who chose to hang their hat in this corner of the American Anthropological Association.
We launched with a "start-up" mentality in which content was king. Our goal was to bring in guest authors while also sharing our work. Our initial goals were modest: as long as we could consistently put up one interesting post per week, we were happy. I was excited to see our blog grow and eventually garner several hundred views a month. Going forward, we realized we would need to create a sustainable model to expand the blog's content and reach, and thus the idea of an Associate Editing team was born. I crafted a structure roughly modeled after publication organizations in which Associate Editors (AEs) managed particular "beats" or specific topic areas of interest. The idea was to encourage AEs to contribute posts about their own research as well as solicit exciting up-to-date content from other CASTAC members, researchers, and practitioners engaged in projects conducted within the auspices of the anthropology and sociology of science, technology, and computing. « Read the rest of this entry »

Inaugural Post from the Editor
November 7th, 2012, by Patricia G. Lange § 2 Comments
Greetings! Welcome to the CASTAC Blog, an exchange for ideas and information about science and technology as social phenomena. We hope to build on a thriving community of scholars from around the world who are concerned about the implications of technologized products and worldviews that are impacting human beings and other forms of life. Our focus is interdisciplinary and welcoming to a variety of scholars interested in a diverse set of research issues, ethics, and impacts of technology on increasingly blended forms of humans and machines in contemporary life.
The CASTAC Blog was created by Patricia G. Lange, Jennifer Cool, and Jordan Kraemer, who are all members of the Committee on the Anthropology of Science, Technology, and Computing (CASTAC). CASTAC is a sub-committee of the General Anthropology Division (GAD) of the American Anthropological Association (AAA). For more than 20 years, CASTAC has had a thriving presence at AAA, as researchers have come together to exchange views about what it means to conduct anthropological research in technologized arenas. Sometimes the opportunities and challenges we face are very different, given that we research everything from nanotechnology to new media. In other instances, though, we face similar challenges, such as public perception of how we as researchers question the effects and processes of science, technology, and computing (the so-called "science wars"). Other challenges we often face include working in interdisciplinary terrain and receiving resistance from the academy or industry about our contributions. Many of us simply wish to geek out and connect with other people who are doing cool things in the intersection of anthropology and sociology and science and technology studies.
Our goal is to encourage dialogue—in a truly polyvocal space—on research findings, tools, new events, and social connections to others in this intersection of domains. We welcome contributions from interested parties within and outside of CASTAC to post about their research, contribute off-the-cuff comments or ask stimulating questions that can bring greater understanding to processes and products of humans' engagement with technology.
Even writing a simple description of this domain presents challenges. The discipline of anthropology has exhibited a long-standing, anthropos-centric focus; but scholars within our community are already writing about the importance of microbes, biological organisms, and artificial life in ways that inevitably broaden the terrain of consideration of anthropological inquiry. Those of us engaged in research of new media have also pushed the boundaries of anthropological practice by following the "action" and going online to investigate new social formations that increasingly rely on mediated communication.
In an important way, we are all pushing the boundaries of anthropology. We wish to create a space where this kind of intellectual risk-taking is safe and welcome. I think we all realize that what we are doing today is, in fact, going to be the taken-for-granted anthropology of tomorrow. When I faced resistance from certain quarters about my dissertation project on MUDs (multi-user dimensions) and the social implications of tech talk, a wonderful mentor at the University of Michigan told me that I was ahead of my time and that my colleagues would catch up one day. We suspect many, if not all of us, have similar tales to tell, and the stakes are considerably higher in a number of technical and scientific areas. Happily, we have a community to hand that is ready and eager to hear what you have to say!
Consider this space a dialogue in progress that's about promoting community both within and outside of CASTAC. We are interested in hearing many voices rather than gathering journal-ready copy. Scientific and humanistic insights need not be produced from the single peer-review journal path, as we all know. The backstage conversations often spark the big ideas, and provide much-needed support in challenging times.
Of course social spaces like this only work if everyone contributes in some way. After many years of being relatively quiet, CASTAC's business meeting at AAA in the Fall of 2011 showed that many of us wish to continue to meet and keep a space alive for interacting with our colleagues in this space. We have devised The CASTAC Blog to accommodate different kinds of dialogue and contributions. We welcome submissions from all scholars in this area and people from different perspectives, including students, faculty, practitioners, policy makers, and other interested readers.
- People are encouraged to post about their initial observations, ongoing work, or research results in the Research section of the blog.
- Other people may wish to talk about methods or tools that they found useful or problematic in our Tools & Techniques section.
- Our section Beyond the Academy may be of particular interest to those who grapple with these issues in non-academic settings.
- We have also included a Member Sound Off section to encourage ideas about how the community can be improved, and to encourage personal statements of what it means to be part of a community like this.
What do you hope being part of this dialogue will bring? What can The CASTAC Blog, the organization of CASTAC or even other scholars in this space do to help you attain your goals? Join us!
COMING SOON! We have wonderful posts from Lucy Suchman, David Hakken, and David J. Hess in the pipeline, so stay tuned to the CASTAC Blog!
— Patricia G. Lange, Editor-in-Chief

I'm all for trying new foods when I travel.
Octupus, lamb, alligator, turtle soup… I think sampling local foods is one of the best ways to learn about the culture of the place you're visiting.
But I draw the line at guinea pig.
The picture above is one I snapped in a small town in the Ecuadorian Andes in July 2002. We saw them grilling on the sidewalk in front of restaurants. I suppose it's a way to entice customers.
Not me.
I never had one of the squeaky creatures as a pet growing up, but I visited my college roommate once when she had two guinea pigs and I will never forget the squeaking they made all night long. I can't eat that.
Pigs squeak and squeal too, you say. Cows moo. Chickens crow.
I know, I know, I know.
But it horrified me to read this USA Today story about how guinea pig is all the rage in restaurants in Lima, Peru.
Good thing I'm going to Buenos Aires and not Lima this winter.
At least there they only eat regular pigs and cow.
Vegetarians everywhere, I beg you, pray for me!
What's the strangest food you've eaten while traveling? Post a comment and share.
Grilled — gulp — guinea pig?!
I'm all for trying new foods when I travel.

Cooking Up Change
They looked so young, the four college students who sat down and ordered coffee at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., on Feb. 1, 1960.
Legal challenges and demonstrations were cracking the foundations of segregation, but a black person still couldn't sit down and eat a hamburger or a piece of pie in a store that was all too willing to take his money for a tube of toothpaste.
Those four freshmen at North Carolina A&T College — Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr. and David Richmond — sat until the store closed, but they still didn't get their coffee.
But that day helped spark other sit-in protests — led by young people like themselves — that spread throughout the South in 1960, energizing the civil rights movement. And the Greensboro Woolworth desegregated its lunch counter later that year.
It wasn't the first time that food, or the lack thereof, figured large in the movement.

Strange as it seems (especially to me, as I do not recall the meeting), it seems I met Lester Maddox when I was a little girl. My parents, Connecticut Yankees transplanted to Texas, and I were in Atlanta to visit my dad's best friend from high school, also an ex-pat. Married to a Greek woman who was active in local Democratic politics. For some reason I still cannot fathom, the grown-ups decided to go check out Lester Maddox at his restaurant.
Maddox, according to my mother, was meeting and greeting folks on the night we went, and according to her, he singled me out, saying, "What a beautiful blond child." (Yes, I was a blond back in the wayback days.)
"He gave you a toy," she told me.
"Get out! Lester Maddox gave me a toy? What?"
"Oh, I don't know." (Uttered in a tone of dismissive disgust.) "Probably some mammy doll."
I have no idea how much truth rests in this story.

Let me guess ... Elrond (left), Glorfindel (middle), Elladan & Elrohir (on his sides), Cirdan (right) and a nameless spear warrior?
The Ridder Clan Mod is a modification for The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II & for The Lord of the Ring: The Battle for Middle-Earth II, The Rise of the Witch-King. This mod changes many things to BFME 2. It will add some new factions, a couple of campaigns, many units & heroes, alot of maps and it will improve the CAH System. This mod changes the gameplay making it work a bit more like BFME 1 and how BFME 2 should have been!
Let me guess ... Elrond (left), Glorfindel (middle), Elladan & Elrohir (on his sides), Cirdan (right) and a nameless spear warrior?
But he has a name ! ( I think he is the hardest to guess )
I have no clue then xD
Galdor :P
the nameless warrior..... that sounds pretty good.
very nice picture !!!
That is "Namless the pike warrior" **/
His name is Galdor , the messenger of Cirdan .
Why so small beard for Cirdan?
Very tall he was, and his beard was long, and he was grey and old, save that his eyes were keen as stars, and he looked at them and bowed, and said: 'All is now ready.'
- RotK; The Grey Havens
We have a bit different take on him , since in the movies he has no beard and in the book has a long beard, we decided to make something that peaces both sides.
He might be Gil-Galad then? :D
Who might these elves in the picture might be ?

New Albany City Councilman Dan Coffey favors splitting the parks department, which he said has favored county parks over city ones since they merged in 1994.
- Filed Under
Several New Albany and Floyd County officials held a news conference outside the county courthouse Friday to voice opposition to the city's proposal to separate the merged city-county parks department.
The opponents, who also include park workers whose jobs would be affected, are urging the New Albany City Council to table a final vote Monday night on the proposed split because county officials have identified money to pay their half of the $1 million parks budget, as agreed when the parks system merged in 1994.
The council has approved two readings of an ordinance to repeal its pact with the ...

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Homeowners may be worrying about the cost of trying to keep their lawns green during the current dry spell.
WZZM 13 On Your Side looked at three different West Michigan communities to determine what it would cost for an average homeowner to keep their lawn green.
To help determine the cost, you must know the size of your lawn and what the local municipality charges for water and sewer service -- if you do not have a well.
On average, a lawn needs one inch of water per week -- or about 0.623 gallons per square foot. If you have a 3,000 square foot lawn -- which is the size we're using for our comparison -- you need about 1,869 gallons of water each week.
In the city of Grand Rapid, the combined costs of water and sewer are about $6.99 for each 1,000 gallons of water used. Based on the comparison, it would cost about $13.06 per week or $52 a month to water a 3,000 sq. ft. lawn.
In Rockford, water and sewer charges are about $5.96 per 1,000 gallons. For our 3,000 sq. ft. lawn, it would be about $11.14 a week or $46 a month for watering.
In Byron Center, water and sewer charges are $5.10 per 1,000 gallons -- or $9.53 a week or $38 a month for the 3,000 sq. ft. lawn.
The costs we figured are for water and sewer charges only.

I took the trip down to Bowie for the first game of the Eastern League Playoffs. Unsurprisingly, Dylan Bundy was the game one starter. I was also able to catch Bundy in his first game at Bowie, which Jordan had a scouting report on.
He did not disappoint in my second go-around seeing him. Akron has a fairly decent lineup although not the strongest in the Eastern League. Lonnie Chisenhall is on a rehab assignment, and was easily the best bat in the lineup.
In typical fashion, Bundy pounded the lower portion of the zone the entire night. He works fast and it's obvious he has a clear plan each time out. He threw 57 fastballs, 23 change ups, and 12 curve balls.
The fastball was in the 94-96 mph range for the first four innings, although he seemed to lose some steam in the latter end of the 5th and the 6th. He was more around 91-94 mph then. He located the fastball well for most of the night, although his lone run given up was off a first pitch fastball that Matt Lawson pounded on.
His change up was extremely impressive. It was mostly in the 87-90 mph range. He kept it low most of the night and at one point he registered seven out of eight change ups as strikes in the lower zone. He used this pitch more than the last time I saw him (23 compared to 13). A few in the latter innings got away from him, and one was hit to the warning track in dead-center. Overall, the pitch was on-point and worked effectively off his fastball.
The curve ball is clearly the pitch Dylan needs the most work on. He threw a few that were absolutely terrific. In the first inning he froze a batter for a called third strike. He also was able to make one batter chase a curve in the dirt. However, he hung a few that were either slapped for hits or luckily fouled off. Again, it's still a very good pitch, but the one that needs the most work.
Overall, it is quite remarkable how good Bundy looks at such a young age in AA. He truly is one of the best pitchers I have ever seen in the minors, and it's no secret that he is absurdly talented. Besides leaving a few pitches up in the zone, I really have nothing else to say about the outing. I'm excited to see him down the road in Baltimore.
1st Inning: 12 pitches, 9 fastball, 1 change up, 2 curve ball
2nd Inning: 19 pitches, 11 fastball. 3 change up, 4 curve ball
3rd Inning: 17 pitches, 8 fastball, 4 change up, 3 curve ball
4th Inning: 11 pitches, 6 fastball, 4 change up, 0 curve ball
5th Inning: 16 pitches, 10 fastball, 4 change up, 2 curve ball
6th Inning: 18 pitches, 10 fastball, 6 change up, 2 curve ball
Game Total: 93 pitches, 57 fastball, 23 change up, 13 curve ball

A 50-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of abusing a 7-year-old child, Salinas police said.
Police said Maria Cardenas, 50, a licensed child-care provider, was booked into Monterey County Jail on suspicion of felony child abuse following a lengthy investigation.
In early February, they said, officers learned of a 7-year-old child transported to Natividad Medical Center with severe head trauma as a result of being violently shaken. Police said the child was flown by air ambulance to a Bay Area hospital and has permanent brain damage. They said the child was abused on Feb. 3 while he was at Cardenas' home. Police said it was the second time the child had been at her day care.
