Coming this fall: less comedy, more drama
You would think that the early, painful demise of The Nine, Kidnapped, Smith, Six Degrees, and other new dramas this season that there would be more comedy pilots picked up for the 2007 season. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, that's not the case.
Except for some solid buzz from a handful of comedies, including ABC's Sam I Am, ABC's Cavemen and Miss/Guided, and several shows at CBS, it looks like more dramas will make the schedule, including NBC's Bionic Woman and Journeyman, ABC's Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies, CBS' Babylon Fields, The Man, and Viva Laughlin. The new Jimmy Smits drama might replace Close To Home on Fridays, while FOX has the much-hyped Sarah Connor Chronicles, K-Ville, and Them.
The big comedy news, if you can call it "big" news, is the The Knights of Prosperity might not be dead after all! ABC is thinking of bringing it back, only with Ray Romano in the Mick Jagger role.
Of course, we'll know more next week, as the networks unveil their new fall lineups. We'll have full coverage here at TV Squad, and you can tell us what you think of the new shows (and the canceled shows).

Stock Markets and Equity Investments
The Character of Cent Stocks
For anybody who is a new comer to trading in small cap stocks, you need to first be advised from the variations between these micro-cap stocks and also the more conventional blue-nick and mid-cap opportunities. This is especially needed for small business online accounting firms. Unlike purchasing shares inside a large, stable company like Ford or IBM, you are coping with speculative opportunities.
Small cap stocks literally trade for pennies per share, or over a handful of dollars. I used to know an accountant Birmingham who also dabbled in penny stock trading, but he didn't understand it properly. The good thing about cent stocks, obviously, is the fact that sometimes they 'grow up' and be mid-cap stocks, spreading in value 100s of occasions over and making many individuals loaded.
With small cap stocks, also known as micro-caps or juniors, you will notice much greater cost unpredictability, and therefore greater and faster gains and deficits in resource values. It's precisely this unpredictability which attracts traders towards the junior marketplaces, as you good pick forces you to 100s of occasions what you might ever make around the bigger marketplaces.
Obviously, there's more risk than purchasing bonds, blue chips or defensive stocks - however this added risk is tempered using the chance of making the large gains.
Most small cap stocks and equity investment, although not all, are resource or technology companies who initially offered shares in an attempt to boost money for exploration or product programs. Most of the companies have large debt loads and aren't always generating money compared to what they are losing.
Learn more about equity investment
However, it's the potential for a significant, or perhaps minor success within their mission that frequently incites dramatic cost increases, which is where their value lies.
Profit PotentialHas been in the industry of researching small cap stocks for several years, and it has become good at discovering the very best small cap investment possibilities and also the most rewarding profit situations within the cent stock marketplaces.
You will find a number of ways to learn from penny stock investing opportunities. Modern Methods Corporation. has uncovered probably the most highly rewarding investment situations.
Marketing Stocks - These problems might cash actual value. Marketers generate curiosity about these kinds of stocks so that they can drive share prices greater. The marketers own great levels of shares and they also earn more money the greater the proportion cost travels. Eventually, they offer their holdings in to the promotion and generate great personal profit. They move ahead to another project, departing the initial stock and all sorts of its traders behind. With no work from the promoter, the marketing problem soon comes crashes lower.
Fundamental essentials kind of stock investor hear horror tales about, because lots of people frequently lose a large amount of money when they're naive about marketing ploys. However, getting into on the marketing stock at the start of its existence cycle, and keeping track of those things from the promoter can be quite, very rewarding. It's like getting a complete time stock promoter doing all things in his energy to obtain the proportion prices from the stocks you have to undergo the rooftop, and traders who enter early will go along for that ride!
Technical Precursors - Frequently technical analysis can reveal designs within the buying and selling cycles of small cap stocks. Sometimes these designs illustrate excellent purchasing possibilities, in which the underlying stock has a good venture of upgrading strongly, and just a minimal possibility of decreasing in value.
Additionally, you will find sometimes situations where several positive technical indications mix at the same time to show that the problem is extremely prone to increase strongly in cost on the short time period, showing the particular problem is has excellent investment potential.
Fundamental Strength - Basic principles involve such criteria as earnings, debt load, assets, and many more. It had been lengthy believed that earnings were the major driving pressure behind share prices, but Modern Methods Corporation. has since proven to be wrong this theory because it is applicable to penny stock investing companies. Rather, discovering the very best medium to long-term investment possibilities should be carried out by thorough analysis of company financial claims. Traders should try the businesses which are building success out money, have the very best management, and have enhancing trends in most factors of the procedures. Too, industry evaluations and also the study of key financial ratios present clues regarding which information mill destined for greater share prices.

We are instructed by the Torah that the proper kashering method one uses to rid a vessel of chometz is dependent upon the original food preparation method used through absorbed chometz into the vessel. Kashering methods can be broadly grouped into four categories:
Libbun – Incinerating
When possible, it is preferable, that a person who is knowledgeable with the laws of kashering be in attendance during this kashering process.
The stove must also be kashered if it is to be used during Pesach. This includes the oven, cooktop, and broiler. No part of the stove can be considered kashered for Pesach unless it is completely clean and free from any baked-on food or grease.
The Oven
In a continuous cleaning oven, one cannot assume that such an oven is clean because the manufacturer claims it to be continuously clean. A visual inspection is required. Since caustic or abrasive oven cleaners, e.g. Easy Off, cannot be used without destroying the continuous clean properties of the oven, a non-abrasive and non-caustic cleaner must be used to clean the oven. Grease spots will usually disappear if the top layer of grease is cleaned with Fantastik and a nylon brush. Then the oven should be turned on to 450°F for an hour, so that the continuous clean mechanism can work. If the spots do not disappear, the oven should be left on for a few hours to allow the continuous clean mechanism to deep clean, or else the spots should be removed with oven cleaner or steel wool. If the spots are dark and crumble when scratched they can be disregarded. In all of the above cases, the oven should then be kashered by turning it to the 550°F setting for forty minutes.
In a self-cleaning oven; before using the self clean cycle, one should clean the inside face of the oven door, as well as the opposing outer rim of the oven outside the gasket, since these areas are not necessarily cleaned during the cycle. Easy Off manufactures one product that is safe for self-cleaning ovens. One should ensure the gasket itself is clean on the area outside the oven seal. (Note: The gasket is sensitive to abrasion). The self-cleaning cycle will then clean and kasher the oven simultaneously. Caution: There is a potential risk of fire during the self-cleaning process, especially if there is a great collection on the bottom of the oven. It is recommended to apply Easy Off that is made especially for self-clean ovens to lift and remove the grease. The oven should not be left unattended while in the self-cleaning mode. Due to reports of fires, one should not leave other operating heating appliances i.e. dryers, toasters, coffee makers, toaster ovens, microwave ovens, or dishwashers unattended. In fact, toasters and toaster ovens should be unplugged (by pulling on the plug and not the cord) when not in use.
Most oven manufacturers instruct the consumer to remove the oven racks before self cleaning, so they will not discolor. However, one may self clean the oven with the racks inside, even though they might discolor. After the self clean cycle use a little oil on the side of the racks to easily slide them in and out of the oven. Also, there are some manufacturers that require removal of the racks before the self clean cycle can start. In this case, one should take the racks out, clean them very well, and then put them in the oven at the highest temperature (usually 550°F) for 45 minutes. This procedure kashers them.
Some ovens come with a convection feature. This feature allows for more uniform heat distribution by using a fan to circulate the heat. If the convection oven has the self-cleaning feature, it will be sufficient to kasher the fan as well. If there is no self-cleaning feature, the entire oven including the fan, while it is circulating must be sprayed with a caustic cleaner and cleaned well. The oven should then be kashered by turning it on to the 550°F setting for forty minutes.
The Cooktop
In a conventional electric cooktop, one needs to clean the burners well and then turn them on to a high heat setting until they are glowing hot. (This usually takes only several minutes.) The drip pans should be thoroughly cleaned and need not be kashered. The remaining cooktop areas should be cleaned and covered. The knobs with which the gas or electricity is turned on should be cleaned. No other process is necessary to kasher the knobs.
Please note: All ovens ventilate hot steam during cooking. In the past, the hot steam was ventilated through the back of the oven. Today, many ranges no longer ventilate in this manner. The oven steam is ventilated through one of the rear cooktop burners. During oven cooking, if the rear vented burner is turned off and covered by a pot or kettle, the hot steam will condense on the burner and utensils. This could create hot zea (condensate) that can cause serious kashrus problems with the utensil, if the food cooked in the oven is a meat product and the pot on the burner is dairy or pareve or vice versa. Care should be exercised with the vented burner to keep it clear during oven cooking. Caution: When putting aluminum foil over the oven backsplash, be careful not to trap the heat coming from the oven vent between the foil and the backsplash. Doing so may melt the backsplash if the oven vents through the back.
Kashering a glass-ceramic cooktop for Pesach use is a bit complex. To kasher the burner area, one should clean it well and turn on the elements until they glow. The burner area is now considered kosher for Pesach. However, the remaining area that does not get hot is not kashered. The manufacturers do not suggest covering this area as one would a porcelain or stainless steel top, as it may cause the glass to break. Real kosherization can be accomplished by holding a blowtorch over the glass until it is hot enough to singe a piece of newspaper upon contact with the glass. However, this may cause the glass to shatter and is not recommended.
As the area between the burners cannot practically be kashered, it would be wise to place a trivet on the open glass area so the pots can be transferred. Furthermore, in order to use a large pot that extends beyond the designated cooking area, one should place a metal disc approximately 1/8 of an inch thick onto the burner area in order to raise the Passover pots above the rest of the glass surface. (Caution: This disc should not extend beyond the designated cooking area.) This will also help in case a small pot boils over, sending a trickle of hot liquid that would serve as a connector from the Passover pot to the non-Passover stovetop. (Note: Cooking efficiency may be compromised when using a metal disc.)
For gas stovetops with a glass surface, one may kasher the grates by putting them into the oven with a libbun kal (550°F for forty minutes). In most such models, the grates cover the entire top of the stove and there should be no problem adjusting pots on the stovetop. Food which falls through the grates and touches the glass surface should not be used.
For those models where the grates do not cover the entire cooktop surface, it would be wise to place a trivet onto the open glass area so that pots may be transfered.No food or pots may come into direct contact with the non-kashered glass surface.
Some gas cooktops have an electric warming area on the glasstop. In order to kasher this area would have to become red hot when turned on. Many of these warming areas do not become hot enough for kashering and may not be used on Pesach.
The Broiler
Other inserts, such as griddles, which come into direct contact with food are treated the same as broiler pans. Therefore, they would also require application of direct heat until the surface glows red. If not, the insert should be cleaned and not used during Pesach.
Barbeque Grills – A grill cannot be kashered by just turning on the gas or electricity. Since food is roasted directly on the grill, it must be heated to a glow in order to be used. This can be done either by using a blowtorch (which should only be done by qualified and experienced individuals) or by sandwiching the grates between the charcoal briquettes and setting them on fire. An alternate method is to replace the grates of the grill. The part of the grill cavity which is level with the grate must also be kashered by heating it to a glow. This is due to the likelihood of food having touched that area during barbequeing. The empty gas grill cavity must be kashered by cleaning, closing the hood and setting it to the highest setting for forty minutes. In the case of a regular grill, the cavity should be filled with charcoal briquettes which should be set on fire.
Other inserts, such as griddles, which come into direct contact with food are treated the same as a grill. Therefore, they would also require application of direct heat until the surface glows red. If not, the insert should be cleaned and not used during Pesach. If the grill has side burners, they should be treated like cooktop grates, assuming no food has been placed directly on them.
Warming Drawers – Warming drawers cannot be kashered because the heat setting does not become high enough to constitute libbun. The warming drawer should be cleaned, sealed, and not used during Pesach.
Oven Hoods and Exhaust Fans – Hoods and exhaust fan filters should be cleaned and free of any food residue.
Microwaves – When microwaves are used, they do not necessarily absorb chometz. The microwave should be tested to see if the walls become hot during use. To do this, one should cook an open potato in the microwave until it has been steaming for a few minutes. Immediately after the potato has been cooked,one should place a hand on the ceiling of the microwave to see if it has become too hot to touch. If one cannot hold a hand there for fifteen seconds, we assume that the microwave has absorbed chometz. If this is the case, the microwave should be cleaned and sealed for Pesach. If it has not absorbed chometz (i.e., one can hold a hand there for fifteen seconds), the microwave itself needs only to be cleaned well. It is recommended to wait twenty-four hours before using the microwave for Pesach. The turn table should be replaced because it has come into contact with hot food and would not pass the hand test. One may replace the turn table with a ¼" Styrofoam board.
Microwave ovens that have a convection or browning feature must be kashered using the convection and/or browning mode. The kashering method used would be libbun kal. The convection microwave should first be cleaned well. If the fan area cannot be properly cleaned, it should be sprayed with a caustic cleaner, e.g. Easy Off, with the fan on, and rinsed off before kashering. One should then test the convection microwave to see if it reaches the required heat for libbun kal by putting it on its highest setting for forty minutes. A piece of paper should then be held against the interior wall to see if it gets singed.1 If the paper is singed, the convection microwave has been heated sufficiently for libbun kal and can be considered kashered. Many models fail the test, because their settings do not allow the microwave to become hot enough for kashering. If this is the case, the microwave should be cleaned, sealed, and not used during Pesach.
HAGOLA (Note: Follow these steps carefully)
Metal utensils i.e. stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, etc. that have been used for cooking, serving or eating hot chometz may be kashered. This may be done by cleaning the utensils thoroughly and waiting 24 hours before immersing them, one by one, into a kosher for Pesach pot of heated water. The water should be heated, and a rolling boil should be maintained when the vessel is immersed.
The metal utensil or vessel should be submerged into the boiling water for about fifteen seconds. The utensils undergoing the kashering process may not touch each other. In other words, if a set of flatware is being kashered for Pesach, one cannot take all the knives, forks and spoons and put them into the boiling water together. They should be placed into the boiling water separately. A special kashering tip involves loosely tying the pieces of silverware to a string, leaving three inches between each piece, and immersing the string of silverware slowly, making sure the water keeps boiling. The process is finalized by rinsing the kashered items in cold water. If tongs are used to grip the utensil, the utensil will have to be immersed a second time with the tongs in a different position so that the boiling water will touch the initially gripped area. Unlike tevilas keilim, the entire utensil does not have to be immersed in the boiling water at once; it may be done in parts.
A non-kosher for Pesach pot may also be used for the purpose of kashering. It is the custom to make the pot kosher for Pesach before using it for kashering. This can be accomplished by cleaning the pot, both inside and out and leaving it dormant for 24 hours. The pot should then be completely filled with water, and brought to a rolling boil. Using a pair of tongs, one should throw a hot stone or brick into a pot that has been heated on another burner. The hot rock will cause the water to bubble more furiously and run over the top ridge of the pot on all sides at one time. (One should use caution, as the hot water may spray in all directions.) The kashering process is finalized by rinsing the pot in cold water. The pot may now be refilled, brought to a boil and used to kasher the chometz utensils.
Extra Bonus: After the Pesach kashering process has taken place, the status of these newly kashered utensils may be changed from milchig to fleishig, vice versa or pareve.
Stainless steel sinks can be kashered using the following method: Clean the sink thoroughly. Hot water should not be used or poured in the sink for 24 hours prior to kashering. It is recommended that the hot shut-off valve under the sink be turned off 24 hours before kashering. Dry the sink before kashering. Kashering is accomplished by pouring boiling hot water from a Pesach kettle/pot over every part of the stainless steel sink. Tip: If a roasting pan is filled and heated, the pouring surface is much wider than a kettle spout. It is not sufficient to pour water on one spot and let it run down the sink. The poured water must touch every part of the sink, including the drain and the spout of the water faucet. It is likely that the kashering kettle will need to be refilled a few times before kashering can be completed. After kashering, the sink should be rinsed with cold water. If hot water was used in the sink accidentally during the 24 hour dormant period, and there is not enough time before Pesach to leave the sink dormant for an additional 24 hours, a shaila should be asked.
China sinks cannot be kashered at all. These sinks should be cleaned, not used for 24 hours, and completely lined with contact paper or foil. The dishes that are to be washed should not be placed directly into the sink. They must be washed in a Pesach dish pan which sits on a Pesach rack. It is necessary to have separate dish pans and racks for milchig and fleishig dishes.
Porcelain, Corian or Granite composite sinks should also be considered similar to a china sink, since there is a controversy as to whether these materials can be kashered. Granite composite is a material fashioned from granite and plastic. Most sinks that look like granite are actually granite composite.
Countertops – Silestone, Porcelain Enamel, Corian, and Plastic/Formica and Granite Composite countertops cannot be kashered. They should be cleaned and covered. To place hot food and utensils on these countertops, cardboard or thick pads must be used to cover the counter. Corian is also a form of plastic that cannot be kashered. However, since the chometz penetrates only a thin layer of the counter, it can be sanded down to take off a layer of Corian (the thickness of a piece of paper). It then is considered kosher for Pesach. However, only a qualified contractor should attempt this procedure. Pure Granite (not granite composite), Marble, Stainless Steel, or Metal may be kashered through eruy roschim. Wood may also be kashered through eruy roschim if it has a smooth surface.
It's important to note that where libbun kal helps, certainly libbun gamur is good; where hagola helps, surely libbun kal is good; where eruy helps, certainly hagola and libbun help.

Kanye West has allegedly banned Kim Kardashian from appearing on 'Kourtney & Khloé Take The Hamptons.'
The brunette beauty previously revealed she would join her sisters for up to a month in the exclusive enclave in Long Island, New York, after her Irish honeymoon, but her new husband doesn't want her to feature in the upcoming 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' spin-off series.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "There's no way Kanye was going to allow Kim do it. It's no secret how much Kanye dislikes and despises Kim's involvement with reality television, and there was no way it was going to happen so soon after the wedding.
"Kanye doesn't want her doing anymore reality television than she is contractually obligated to do. If Kim does agree to film, it will likely be without Kanye's knowledge beforehand!"
Kim's mother Kris Jenner is said to be "furious" that Kanye is getting involved in their business.
The insider said: "{She] is furious because she is feeling the pressure from E! and Ryan Seacrest Productions to have Kim on the show instead of her other daughter, Kourtney. The network is afraid that 'Kourtney & Khloé Take The Hamptons' will be a ratings disaster because Kim isn't going to be a regular on the series."
The brunette beauty, 33, recently said she would be flying to The Hamptons in June to visit her sisters while they set-up a pop-up Dash store in the area.
She said: "I'm probably going to go for a couple of weeks, maybe a month."
Khloé will move to the plush area this weekend with Kourtney and her family, while Kim and Kanye are in Prague to attend his stylist Renelou Padora's wedding.

Marriott Sacramento Rancho Cordova Hotel Review: Just 17 miles from downtown Sacramento, Rancho Cordova has a lot to offer both outdoor lovers and business travelers. The American River is less than five minutes away---you can fly fish, raft or mountain bike. As for corporate types, a multi-million dollar renovation has brought the hotel's technology up to date. Although designed in a fairly typical hotel style, the rooms are spacious, and their down comforters and soft mattresses make for a good night's sleep. Desks come equipped with multi-line phones, data ports and wireless Internet. There is also a business center on-site for basics like printing and photocopies.

Adobe Announces Flash Player For Mobiles
At the GSMA Mobile World Congress, Adobe today announced the availability of the Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 Distributable Player, a new version of the Flash software that runs not only on computers but also on the latest high-end mobile phones.
The new player enables developers and content providers to create Flash technology-based applications that target the latest version of the runtime, and directly distribute their applications with the runtime installer to open OS devices. Available immediately as a public beta, the Distributable Player initially supports Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile devices. Smartphones with Flash Player 10 running on Google's Android, Windows Mobile and Nokia's Symbian S60 platforms should be on the market next year.
"The Distributable Player enables a direct distribution of our mobile player similar to the distribution model for Flash Player on the desktop, said David Wadhwani, general manager and vice president, Platform Business Unit at Adobe.
The Distributable Player is the first step toward delivering a runtime that can be updated over the air, a vision set by the Open Screen Project. Announced in May 2008, the Open Screen Project is designed to deliver a runtime environment across televisions, desktops, mobile devices and other consumer electronics. Led by Adobe, the initiative has more than 20 industry partners working to enable the delivery of Web content and standalone applications across devices taking advantage of Adobe Flash Platform capabilities.
In addition, Adobe and Nokia announced the Open Screen Project Fund today to spur the development of mobile applications based on the Flash Platform. palm has also joined the the Open Screen Project to deliver Adobe Flash Player for smartphones on the new Palm webOS platform.
At the same event, Adobe announced the availability of the new Adobe Reader Mobile SDK, a software development kit (SDK) designed to enable companies to deliver mobile phones and handheld devices that can download, manage, and display PDF content and eBooks. The new software engine delivers support for reflowable PDF technology, Adobe?s content protection technology, as well as the EPUB file format, an XML-based eBook standard with broad support from the publishing industry.
Adobe Reader Mobile 9 SDK, which replaces the previous Adobe Reader LE 2.5 technology, is being integrated with licensee device and smartphone applications and is available immediately.

Clinical Medicine Committee Minutes
September 15, 2010
Attending: Sudhir, Wispelwey, Herrington, Heald, McGahren,
Keeley, Ham, A. Innes, D. Innes, Jackson, Newberry, Lieb, Chapin,
Hemler, Wilson
The meeting was called to order at 5:05 PM.
The primary agenda item was a continued discussion of plans for the transition period between the current clerkship calendar configuration and the new calendar, which will begin in late February 2012. There will be an overlap between the two calendars, and clerkships and selectives are in the process of planning for that time. Several potential approaches were mentioned, including "pairing" on some clerkships or at some sites, recruiting additional sites, placing additional students at some sites for that time period, engaging other specialty services that are not currently active in the 3rd year curriculum. This will also be after the new resident work hour requirements are in place, and that may change the way in which students are assigned on inpatient services. The hospital addition may be open as well, which would increase bed capacity and potentially increase opportunities for inpatients. The possibility of modifying overall clerkship schedules so that those periods are more lightly scheduled was also mentioned. For the current 2nd year class (Class of 2013), that decision would need to be made by October 8 so that it can be factored into the OASIS schedule. Concerns were expressed about the lack of comparability among some of the existing clerkship sites, based in part on student responses to an ongoing questionnaire/survey. Some of the history of the current clerkship configuration was reviewed. We will discuss these comparability issues further as we gather additional information and feedback from our students.
Dr. Innes and Mr. Jackson reviewed the new "pay for teaching" proposals that will be based in part on activities as reported in the OASIS calendar. A similar system is being used in the preclinical courses.
The meeting was adjourned at 6 PM. It is anticipated that there will be another meeting soon to continue these discussions.
Respectfully submitted,
William G. Wilson, MD
Chair, Clinical Medicine Committee

(USA TODAY) North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed the nation's most restrictive ban on abortions Tuesday in what he said was a deliberate attempt to test the Supreme Court boundaries ofRoe v. Wade.
One of three news laws bans performing an abortion after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which could be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.
Doctors performing such abortions could face up to five years in prison. Women having such an abortion would not face charges.
A second measure bans abortions based on genetic defects such as Down syndrome, and a third adds new hospital admitting requirements that would make it more difficult for North Dakota's sole abortion clinic in Fargo to remain open.
The Guttmacher Institute,which tracks abortion laws throughout the country, says Pennsylvania, Arizona and Oklahoma also have laws outlawing abortion based on gender selection.
Dalrymple acknowledged that a goal in signing the fetal heartbeat law was to push the issue to the U.S. Supreme Court, whose 1973 ruling inRoe v. Wadeeffectively legalized abortion until a fetus is considered viable, usually at 22 to 24 weeks.
"Although the likelihood of this measure surviving a court challenge remains in question, this bill is nevertheless a legitimate attempt by a state legislature to discover the boundaries ofRoe v. Wade.," the governor said in statement. "Because the U.S. Supreme Court has allowed state restrictions on the performing of abortions and because the Supreme Court has never considered this precise restriction ... the constitutionality of this measure is an open question."
He also called on the Legislative Assembly "before it adjourns should appropriate dollars for a litigation fund available to the Attorney General" to pursue the case.
The governor also said that the added restrictions on hospital privileges "greatly increases the chances that this measure will face a court challenge."
Pro-choice advocates have promised a legal fight that they say will be long, costly and unwinnable for the state.
"With the stroke of the governor's pen, North Dakota politicians have taken away the right of a woman to make the best decision for herself and her family," said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. "These dangerous laws will prevent women, regardless of their circumstances, from accessing safe and legal abortion care. It is time that our elected representatives stopped playing politics with women's health."
Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, called the growing number of state's approving anti-abortion laws as a "wake-up call" for what she described as "unprecedented attacks on women's rights and health."
"It is simply not acceptable that women's basic rights will depend on their zip code, with women in some states being treated as free agents and full citizens while other women lose the right to make their own health care decisions," Richards said in a statement.
On Monday, about 300 people turned out at at a rally at the North Dakota Capitol to urge the governor to veto the bills,The Bismarck Tribunereported. In a personal appeal to the governor, they chanted and carried signs vowing, "We won't go back, Jack."
Unlike other states that have passed restrictive measures, the North Dakota law does not specify how a fetal heartbeat heartbeat would be detected.
Arkansas passed a 12-week ban earlier this month that also prohibits most abortions when a fetal heartbeat can be detected using an abdominal ultrasound. That ban is scheduled to take effect 90 days after the Arkansas Legislature adjourns.
A fetal heartbeat can generally be detected earlier in a pregnancy using a vaginal ultrasound, but Arkansas lawmakers balked at requiring women seeking abortions to have the more invasive imaging technique.
The Republican-led North Dakota Legislature has endorsed a series of anti-abortion measures this year. Last week, lawmakers moved to outlaw abortion in the state by passing a resolution defining life as beginning at conception, essentially banning abortion in the state. The measure is likely to come before voters in November 2014.
Representatives also endorsed two other anti-abortion bills last week that are awaiting Dalrymple's signature.
One would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy based on a controversial premise that fetuses feel pain at that point. Another measure requires a doctor who performs abortions to be a physician with hospital-admitting privileges.
Tammi Kromenaker, director of the Red River Women's Clinic in Fargo that is the target of one of the laws, said onThe Rachel Maddow ShowMonday night that North Dakota lawmakers "talk about things as if they know about what is going on in the clinic, although they have never visited the clinic."
She also said she believes that voters will not approve the so-called"personhood amendment"that will essentially outlaw abortion by conferring human rights on fertilized eggs.
"I think it is not in line with what regular North Dakotans want for our state," Kromenaker said.

Guest column: What we're all about on the local theater scene
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to clear up a few misunderstandings concerning our new theater company, Let's Put On A Show Productions.
Please know we are not a Marco Island company. Even though we've worked with amazing talent on Marco, our focus is on Naples and surrounding areas.
Currently we are focusing on Golden Gate. We are interested in getting the locals involved in our productions, which we feel will bring in local residents for our first show, "Pageant Play," at the Golden Gate Community Center at 4701 Golden Gate Parkway
It is an excellent venue for our inaugural production. There's a lot going on in Golden Gate. A wide range of activities already take place at the community center — from Zumba classes to Sunday church services. There is even a farmers market there every weekend. We like the fact that the auditorium will hold as few as 50 and as many as 150 people.
Plus, the parking lot is well-lit and safe.
There are several restaurants in the area for folks to get a bite to eat before the show.
The staff, along with Vicki Wilson, the community center manager, have been extremely helpful. They are willing to go the extra mile to see that our needs are met so that we can do the best we can with what resources they currently have. We are interested in possibly doing more productions with GGCC.
We've been discussing the idea and throwing ideas around for several months regarding starting up a production company. We've been attending local productions, reading scripts, doing shows, and a lot of research.
Pat Berry and Patty Ziesig of The Island Theater Company and Beverly Dahlstrom of the Marco Players have been very supportive in our new endeavor and gave us the confidence and fortitude to surge forward with Let's Put On A Show Productions.
"Pageant Play'' is a sharp-witted, clever satire in the wake of reality TV shows, specifically child beauty pageants. "Pageant Play'' sets two pageant mothers in a deadly contest while their "daughters" strut their stuff. Show are planned for February and March; please watch for announcements.
We were looking to do another quirky type of comedy, and with the positive experience we had with the success of "Queen of Bingo," that we co-directed for the Island Theater Company. We feel the topical subject manner would be a good fit.

Google Quietly Updates Maps For webOS 96
For the second time since launching back in June, Google Maps for webOS has quietly received an update. The first update came our way back in October, and brought with it a number of enhancements, the most notable of which were the addition of public transportation and walking directions to the already available driving directions.
This update brings with it a number of notable enhancements as well. Unfortunately, there's no official change log to be found anywhere on the Google Mobile blog or even an acknowledgment that there's been even been an update, so we're left to our own devices to find the differences between this version and the last without being able to compare them side by side. Here's what we've got so far:
- Google Maps reports itself as being at version 6.7 (tap the Menu button > Help & Terms > About).
- There seem to be substantial improvements in overall speed and rendering. Menus open, transition, and close faster, and map rending seems vastly more robust.
- We now have kinetic scrolling
- An updated "Menu" interface with new graphics for switching between the Map and Satellite modes
- A new "Help and Terms" Menu
- Better integration into local public transit systems (at least here in Portland, Ore)
- The ability to interact with the icons the map. Tapping on the icon of a business or a transit stop will bring up the associated listing, allowing easy access to phone numbers, directions, reviews, and more.
- A new dedicated "Results" button that, as one would guess, brings up the results of a search query.
There's no question at this point that most of the webOS version of Google Maps is kept server side. After firing up my comically out of date emulator running version 1.1 of the SDK, I discovered that all of the changes listed above were there as well.
It's great to see that Google is actively committed to enhancing the webOS version of its Maps software It gives us hope that it wont be too long before we start seeing services like Latitude and (dare I say) Navigation to make their to webOS.
Our list of enhancements is by no means a comprehensive change log, and there are sure to be things that we've overlooked. If you find something that isn't on our list, do feel free to let us know in the comments!
Thanks to @vara411 for the tip!

Mine says it's running v.6.7
on my german gsm 1.3.1 pre it says in device infos "Google Maps Version 1.0" wtf, you have 6.6?
You need to check it in the app itself. Click the Menu button, then the Terms & Conditions item, then About.
And I have 6.7 also.
Don't check Device Info for the version #. Check within Google Maps (Menu> Help & Terms> About).
what happened to latitude?
Nothing has ever happened to Latitude...
My thoughts exactly.
I was hoping Google would include Latitude in the update, but I guess not.
Mine says 6.7 also.... just checked when I read this.
Yep, version 6.7 on mine also.
Well not only does mine say 6.7, but Robert says "An updated "Menu" interface with new graphics for switching between the Map and Satellite modes", I looked that the menu, it is the same exact menu that I have had for months and I've also been able to click on icons on the map for quite a while as well.
I guess it is the article that is out of date...
mine says 1.0...I have a sprint palm pre
The version of the App on the Pre will probably always be 1.0. This is just a shell to download the Google Maps program when it runs. Inside the Google Maps program, you will see the current version.
6.7 here also.
mine says 1.0...I have a sprint palm pre
not really sure what your definition of "better" is (in reference to the transit system "update"). i checked my version, and it says v 1.0 . and yes, my pre's webOS has been updated to 1.3.1 and updates doesn't have anything new.
I live 5 minutes away from one of the largest malls in the portland oregon area. This mall happens to have a transit center in it, so I selected it, and saw nothing but "---- Transit Center". No bus arrivals. No stop ID #'s. Nothing.
I am running preware, could this be interfering with my maps update(s)? i really doubt it, since everything else has updated just fine.
This rocks!!! I've been waiting for some kinetic scrolling!!! I hope they improved GPS location!! It's been spotty I have to say. Especially in NYC! Come'on google!
Mine says v6.7 as well. I'm with Sprint.
Dumb question but what is kinetic scrolling?
Wow, finally Google Maps doesn't suck for me. It's actually usable.
i have a sprint palm pre and i have version 1.0 of google maps...what's up with that?
To see what version you have, tap the "menu" button within Google Maps and then "Help/Terms" ... then "about"
It will show you version 6.7!
Updated how to find the version - 1.0 is what's on the Pre, 6.7 is the server-side app.
Still no streetview? WHY?
We need street view! I have to say the GPS and Map are great, even in neiborhoods. I use my Garmin to get close, then Google map on my Pre to determine exactly which house im looking for. Hasnt let me down yet.
Woohoo! They fixed Google location services when connected to AirRaves, which affects every application, not just Maps. It used to think I was 30 miles southwest of here.
I thought I noticed this too!! YES!!! That really was driving me crazy.
When you zoom in all the way the flat map adds 3D translucent outlines of buildings superimposed over the map (did this for Manhattan).
Has it always done this?
I tried it on my phone, and it didn't work. I assume it only works in major metropolitan areas. Kind of a cool feature, though. :)
still on 1.0,
READING COMPREHENSION FAIL. Look at the posts above you. It's not in the Pre system's about...that'll still show 1.0, as the app installed on the Pre hasn't changed. The updates are server side, and the new update number can be viewed by opening the app, going to Menu-->Help & Terms-->About.
perhaps you should know that those of us who have version 1.0 (server side or whatever) dont even have the "help & terms" option after tapping menu within the app. only the "edit" option is listed there.
edit: nevermind found it i'm an idiot.
I have 1.0 "on the Pre" as well..we all do. And it's not under the drop down menu in the google maps...once you open google maps there's the MENU button in the lower right hand corner. Tap that, it brings up a menu. There, you'll find the help and terms button.
Nice improvements but still wish pressing the + or - on the keyboard would zoom in and out.
No signal right now to see but what about the basics?:
1) direction of travel indicator on current location dot
2) ability to save favorite locations
Traffic is now a toggle. When you click it on once, it remembers the setting and is always on when you close then come back to the program.
When using Google map on my Sprint Pre with version 6.7, my coordinate is usually showing that I'm off track when I am on track, but then will show I'm back on track. Everytime I go to a different screen, it will go off and then back on track. Very weird w/ location accuracy. Not sure if this is a Google map thing or the GPS receiver itself. Anybody else experiencing this?
I used to have a Sprint Motorola Q9c which always showed that I'm on the right track.
I use google maps everyday (not yet today) so any speed improvements are more than welcome. Wait... It says I have 1.0 J/K I wish people saying they have 1.0 would learn to read before posting a comment.
lattitude and street view would be awsome to have.
When they say you can click on the business icon on the map, are they referring to the red little teardrop icons? When I click on it, nothing happens.
Mine says 6.7
Voodoo Doughnut is one strange place. They have maple bars with bacon on them, and the interior is just odd. I tried the bacon maple bar; not horrible. Go for Cocoa Puffs on chocolate. That's the ticket.
There's a bigger issue here that I think people are missing. Google is improving its software server-side and not relying on the local software for improvements. That seems like a super-huge deal and a model that doesn't appear to be going on elsewhere.
Seems like the most appropriate model for a cloud-based phone, right?
At least for apps that are 100% reliant on web access. I wouldn't want things like my on-device games to be purely cloud-based.
No, there's need for a balance between them. Look at how people complain that the translation dictionaries require web access. But apps that rely on cloud-based services would make more sense as server-side software projects rather than beefing up everything client-side. Off the top of my head, it'd be:
- Facebook
- Twitter
- Myspace
- LinkedIn
- Yelp
- Wikipedia
So ideally Facebook would write a basic app for its service and then pretty it up on the backend that the app talks to. Maybe that's what they planned with the FB app that's in the catalog, but I doubt that.
Multi-touch is great and all, but I was able to use Google Maps much easier - WITH ONE HAND - on my 2 year old WinMo phone because it had "+" and "-" buttons for zooming. Therefore I could be driving and zooming in or out comfortably with the touch of a button instead of putting the Pre on my leg and trying to multi-touch zoom while watching the road. If there's just one enhancement that I want, it's the option to show "+" and "-".
I agree.
I'd love this functionality for the Browser as well. I wonder if it's possible to patch the use of a gesture (circle around the white button (clockwise in/counter-clockwise out?). I know that would change one way to make a "back" gesture, but since that is already duplicated with the swipe, would anyone care? I'll request in the forum as soon as I can.
I think it go far to make single handed use possible in alot of applications. Y'know...if it is possible (non-developer is speaking out the side of his head right now...)
just double tap to zoom
Can't you get married at VooDoo? I know I saw that on the Food Network!
This is great. These updates would make it better also:
#1 Street View
#2 Send business contact info Via SMS/Email
#3 History of Entries so we dont have to retype it
#4 Latitude
It does show the history now. Thanks palm/google!
Finally have some traffic information (I live in Iowa and never had that before) and Satellite view looks a whole lot more detailed than ever before. This is awesome. Thanks almighty Google!
Great updates.
I wonder how many more updates can be made server side. And who made the google app on the phone itself? Palm or Google?
I'm ready for an app upgrade to allow search history and things like that. But for now it works well.
btw, does anyone remember the url that this app feeds off of?
From looking at the Device Info --> app list, I would have to say the client side app is probably developed by Palm, since it reads by Palm, Inc. while the Sprint Navigation app reads by TeleNav, Inc.
who allows google to change something on my phone without asking me?
it's a shame that the internetkraken has access to my pre. for what else are they looking there?
Pff... they are obviously not changing or grabbing nothing on your phone, you connect to their servers (that is why is called server side) and you get the app from there, so they can do whatever they want with their app.
Meh. I want to have "pins" (dunno how there're called exactly) just like in the browser app...
Hopefully Trapster and other map programs update there apps now.
Didn't realize it was such a surprise that Google Maps was cloud. That's the _real_ reason that internet access is required to use the app... because there _is_ no app on the phone. Would be awesome if we could cache some map tiles or whatnot and be able to run even without internet access.
Hurray for interacting with the icons. They need to make the public trans tiles a bit smarter (on browser version you can select a stop and find departure/arrival times at that stop, etc.) but I'm not complaining - we'll probably see that in a future version.
Street view, even if we can't navigate with it (select a point and view that, but not walk down the street-view street necessarily) would be nice.
Surprised Latitude isn't there yet... but given the choice, interactive icons >>> Latitude IMO.
@FischOderAal: the 'pins' you talk about, do you mean the results that match the search but aren't in the current result set?
Oh, and as for zoom, would love zoom with the volume buttons. Though I am not nearly as zealous about this as other people seem to be.
Nope, I mean "pins" to mark and save specific locations.
Two biggies that are missing:
Copy Location URL
eMail Directions
At the moment, the "Get Directions" function is down. Attempts to load, then just goes back to the map view.
I love Voodoo Doughnuts. The maple bacon is the best doughnut I've ever had. There is a place on the east side called "Delicious Doughnuts" which are pretty good too. Nothing as creative as Voodoo but a few of their standard varieties rival Voodoo doughnuts' standards for sure.
When will there be Google Latitude on the Palm Pre ?
(Germany ...)
Just to mention it. I've had a dedicated Results button forever, it was just called "Result List."
And wow, the map is down right blazing fast now. Well done google.
Hey mine says version 1.0.
What is up with that?
Oh, wait, I found it. If only I could read all the posts above mine.
Sarcasm Alert Sounded.
I really wish they would move the menu and search box to the application instead of having the whole thing web-based.
When the app loads I want to be able to start typing in the box immediately. As it currently sits, it has to download the searchbox from the internet before you can start typing. Annoying. Have some of the application pre-loaded on the phone!
The fact that the client still sits at 1.0 tells you most of the application has to be downloaded on each use. The client "app" is little more than a glorified link to a webpage.
I just checked this out and I have 6.7. As for kinetic scrolling, I can't really tell how much this works. I don't remember Google Maps on the Pre lacking this before to be honest but while it does SORT OF keep scrolling after I lift my finger it's not enough to make it super good. It should scoll as much as a web page does when you flick the screen.
I will say though, Google Maps is now SUPER fast at rendering the maps in both map and satellite views. Everything I search for comes up extremely fast. Before, the entire experience was sluggish.
Now all we need is Latitude, Street View and the ability to copy the directions URL and e-mail directions.
mine is considerably slower than the previous one.. i mean.. big time slower.. maps load slower.. and rendering is alot slower in general..
Still won't show a UK address if you open Google Maps from contact address. It opens google maps OK but can't find address, however entering the postcode works fine...go figure?
sorry to here that dgrobe. mine is significantly faster. i'd go as far as to say 5times faster.... before the experience was quite sluggish, but now its immediate and there's almost no lag when scrolling. i'm also impressed with the bus routing.
HEY! Another Portland, Oregon pre owner. C:
When google maps integrated public transport I was happy. It seems off with several of it's suggestions however. I don't think it was accounting for the green line, I wonder if it does now?
the question remains for it to be of any real use in the UK you need full postcode search;o(
I live in the suburbs of NYC (Northern NJ) and I noticed that the lot for my house is clearly shown now. Meaning the property lines of my house and all of the houses in my town are shown. Anyone else notice this I can't remember if this showed up before.
No lot line shown here in the suburbs of Chicago.
I like the enhancements but it doesn't seem any faster to me.
Love how you used Portland for the pic.
The Google maps now remember recent addresses entered when you tap "get directions" and then tap the area where you would enter the address all the recent addresses come up. If this was already stated...my apologies
When Im in satellite view and I zoom in real close to a location, after a few seconds it zooms out automatically. Why does it do this? Is anyone else having this problem?
It still is slow - beyound usability; still keeps dropping me back to my location when I try to browse map somewhere else - _extremely_ annoying...
I would say: google map sucks a fingernail bit less than before on Pr? now...
hmmm, am I the only one whose version says 6.9? Perhaps it's cuz I followed the link that enabled Latitude on my GMaps. That was several days ago and the Google servers haven't yet reverted me back (for not being an iPhone). And no, I didn't install the iPhone User-Agent patch
@Deepers, I did the same thing and went to http://maps.google.com/maps/m?mode=latitude just now. My version says 7.7.
When I open maps via the link above I get Latitude functionality. When I open the maps app directly I get no Latitude. Both methods show as version 7.7
this app is great but how bout rotation like the iphone version?
I don't like the new update all that much - works too slowly and it messes up some maps now.

How: Contact a nonmember of the Bella Vista Village
Property Owners Association and tell them about
all of the affordable amenities Bella Vista Village has to
offer. You are welcome to bring them as your guest to experience
the association's amenities they are most interested in using.
Once you have them hooked, direct them to the association's
online lot auction to
purchase the lot of their choice. Now, you need to contact Ralph
Barger, the association's lot administrator, at
email@example.com or
(479) 855-8000 and let him know who you are and who you have
referred to the online lot auction. Once your referral has
purchased a lot, they must inform Ralph Barger, the
association's lot administrator, at
email@example.com or
(479) 855-8000 that you referred them to the site for the lot
purchase. Once the lot is paid for and the sale is complete, the
purchaser will be given a piece of paper to take to the
Membership Services Department, 101 Town Center, for their
complimentary photo identification card. You may then pick up
your certificate for 13 complimentary green fees with a cart
from the Golf Operations Department, located at the Bella Vista
Country Club building, 98 Clubhouse Drive. Please note the
restrictions as listed above. For more information about the
lots for sale, contact Lot Administrator Ralph Barger at
firstname.lastname@example.com or
(479) 855-8000. For more information about the complimentary
green fees, contact Golf Operations Manager Andy Mar at
firstname.lastname@example.com or
(479) 855-5079.
