Leah Davidson, a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania, plans to pursue a career in business. But she wants to do so in an environmentally conscientious manner. So when, as a high school senior, she learned of an opportunity to visit one of the most untouched habitats on Earth, she jumped at the chance.
"The career path I want to follow is often criticized for what it does for the environment," Davidson says. "I wanted to get the other side of the story and get a firsthand perspective on climate change. I wanted my conception of the environment to be personal."
Davidson, who grew up in Sherbrooke, Quebec, says her trip to Antarctica "left an impression of the transformational effect of natural beauty," shaping her perspective on the world and impressing upon her a need to take the message of the importance of environmental conservation further. Now, two years later, she continues to widely share her experiences of that unique place, while immersing herself in interdisciplinary studies and advocacy at Penn and beyond.
Davidson traveled to Antarctica with Students on Ice, an organization that leads educational trips to both the Arctic and Antarctic. She received a full scholarship from the Leacross Foundation to participate on the trip. Along with nearly 60 other high school students and about 30 staff, her two-week journey was packed with a variety of lessons about the Antarctic ecosystem, climate change and other threats and environmental leadership.
But the highlights of the trip were the on-the-ground experiences. Students performed science experiments to track climate conditions; observed penguins, seals, sea bird and whales and sketched, photographed and wrote about what they saw.
"We were all using our passions to reflect on what we were experiencing," Davidson says.
While still on the trip, Davidson came up with the idea of anthologizing some of the participants' artistic and literary creations. She collected artwork, photography, poetry and journal entries from fellow Students on Ice travelers, compiling them in a book titled Antarctica: To Be Inspired. She raised enough money—with know-how gained through Penn's Social Entrepreneurship Movement—from individuals and companies, including Patagonia, Sierra Club and Lowepro, to publish 500 copies. Proceeds from sales of the book are going to the Students on Ice Foundation, which provides scholarship for students to join the expeditions.
Davidson is also using the book as an educational tool for her latest venture, a movement called Act for Antarctica. Launched last March, it aims to educate elementary and high school students about the value of the polar regions. Davidson herself has given more than 50 presentations at schools in the U.S. and Canada. One of the campaign's goals is to inspire 1,000 distinct actions that make some headway in protecting the environment. Each school she has visited has taken some step—from pledging to turn off the lights in unused rooms, to centering entire science units around the book—to demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection.
Act for Antarctica aims to generate these 1,000 acts by March 1, 2014. Davidson feels confident that they'll make it there.
Since her trip to the southernmost continent, Davidson has participated in numerous other efforts to broaden the horizons of herself and others. She was selected as one of just 60 young people worldwide from an applicant pool of 1,000 to attend this past summer's Millennium Youth Camp in Finland, where students engage in studies of and research in mathematics, environmental science and technology. And at Penn, Davidson pursues her interests in social entrepreneurship and environmental stewardship through involvement in the Green Campus Partnership's Eco-Reps program, the Wharton Social Impact Initiative, the Intercultural Leadership Program, the Urban Nutrition Initiative and iCare, a program to support children adopted from China.
Penn's emphasis on interdisciplinary studies suits Davidson particularly well; she is currently working on the launch of an electronic journal to showcase sustainability in the humanities, and plans to pursue an independent study in the spring semester on environmental writing under Bethany Wiggin, an associate professor and undergraduate chair in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures. All the while, Davidson keeps up a healthy load of Wharton business courses.
"I have a lot of interests," she says, "and Penn offers so many great opportunities to pursue them."
Gleaning knowledge from so many areas has left Davidson with a keen sense of accountability over her actions, and a compulsion to pass on her passion.
"What stands out to me is that I am one of the only people of my generation who has been to Antarctica," says Davidson. "A lot of the responsibility to protect its environment will fall on our shoulders."

Commission says Rep. Cachola misused campaign funds
HONOLULU — The Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission said Democratic Rep. Romy Cachola misused campaign funds, and it asked him to pay nearly $70,000 in reimbursements and fines.
Cachola drove a Nissan Pathfinder purchased with more than $30,000 in campaign funds for non-campaign activities, said Gary Kam, the commission's general counsel.
"We're cooperating with the investigation and trying to give them all the documents they asked him for," said Cachola's attorney, Michael Green. "We don't believe he's done anything wrong."
Cachola bought the sports utility vehicle while running for re-election to the Honolulu City Council, where he had served since 2004, according to the Campaign Spending Commission. He won re-election in 2008.
"One of the reasons why we looked into it is because buying a car is unusual," Kam told The Associated Press on Thursday. "If you purchase a vehicle or other durable assets, you have to reimburse the campaign for personal use — and that did not happen in this case."
Most candidates use their own personal cars for campaigning, and then seek reimbursement for mileage incurred during the campaign, Kam said.
While driving the car purchased with campaign funds, Cachola also received a car allowance from the Honolulu City Council, according to public records. Cachola received an allowance of $250 per month nearly every month from March 2008, when he bought the car, until July 2012. He also listed the Pathfinder as his primary vehicle when he applied for a parking spot at the Legislature, according to the complaint.
The commission hired an investigator who trailed Cachola for a week in January and saw him driving the vehicle to work and church. Investigators peered into the car and saw no campaign signs or posters, they said.
Cachola also spent unusual amounts on public relations from 2011 to 2013, paying more than $2,700 in chunks of $50 to $200 to dozens of individuals, according to the complaint. Candidates running for mayor or governor sometimes hire public relations firms, but most candidates running for seats in the statehouse do not, Kam said. Those who do hire public relations help usually pay firms, not individuals, he said.
Cachola wrote a letter to the commission in April asking for more time to respond because of the busy legislative calendar. A request for an extension was denied.
But after attorneys for Cachola dropped off documents stating that Cachola had made some reimbursement payments, commission officials chose to grant a continuance on Wednesday.
"If there's any monies that are in dispute or in question, we'd rather pay that and worry about it later on," Green said.

|Passive immunization against pyroglutamate-3 amyloid-β reduces plaque burden in Alzheimer-like transgenic mice: a pilot study.
|Reference Detail
|Reference ID:
|BACKGROUND: N-terminally truncated and modified pyroglutamate-3 amyloid- protein (pE3-A) is present in most, if not all, cerebral plaque and vascular amyloid deposits in human Alzheimer's disease (AD). pE3-A deposition is also found in AD-like transgenic (tg) mouse brain, albeit in lesser quantities than general A. pE3-A resists degradation, is neurotoxic, and may act as a seed for A aggregation. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine if pE3-A removal by passive immunization with a highly specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) impacts pathogenesis in a mouse model of Alzheimer's amyloidosis. METHODS: APPswe/PS1E9 tg mice were given weekly intraperitoneal injections of a new anti-pE3-A mAb (mAb07/1) or PBS from 5.8 to 13.8 months of age (prevention) or from 23 to 24.7 months of age (therapeutic). Multiple forms of cerebral A were quantified pathologically and biochemically. Gliosis and microhemorrhage were examined. RESULTS: Chronic passive immunization with an anti-pE3-A mAb significantly reduced total plaque deposition and appeared to lower gliosis in the hippocampus and cerebellum in both the prevention and therapeutic studies. Insoluble A levels in hemibrain homogenates were not significantly different between immunized and control mice. Microhemorrhage was not observed with anti-pE3-A immunotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Selective removal of pE3-A lowered general A plaque deposition suggesting a pro-aggregation or seeding role for pE3-A.

Moultrie Police arrested 57-year-old Steven Edmonson on Tuesday.
An investigation discovered his involvement in thousands of dollars worth of credit card fraud.
"We got a consent to search his residence where we found computers and other items," says Moultrie Police Sergeant Steven Stratman.
Officers say Edmonson's victims were people around the U.S.
Investigators say he would use the victim's credit cards to purchase items off of Walmart.com and have the items sent to a local store.
They say he would sell the items and send the profits by Western Union to Nigeria.
This is leaving residents more cautious about their credit card information.
Spamlaws.com says credit card fraud costs cardholders and issuers more than 500 million dollars a year.
Officers say the volume of identity theft is on the rise. They urge people to check their bank statements for any red flags.
Edmonson is charged with several counts of identity theft. Officers say the investigation will determine the total amount of money stolen.

Beverly Hills Upper Liplift
Join me on Google+
Upper Liplift
An upper lip lift is done in one of several ways. There was a European vogue for making a scar on the vermillion (that is the pink bit of the lip) excising some skin between the vermillion and the nose and lift the lip up. Other surgeons made an incision underneath the nose to lift the lip up. Many of these procedures have been superseded by injecting either fat, or other injectables into the tissues of the upper lip to plump it up - which is of a much better effect without the scars. Learn about lip lift procedures and the best candidates for each at our site dedicated to
lip beautification
Lip Procedures
Upper/Lower Lip Lifts
Corner Lip Lifts (All Types)
V-Y Plasties
Lip Fat Transfer
Best Candidates for the Procedure:
The most appropriate candidates for lip reshaping and fat transfer are patients who have:
• A desire for more permanent results than temporary injectable fillers (which only address volume anyway)
• Lips that have become thin, inverted, shapeless or sagging with age
• Had other facial rejuvenation surgeries and want their lips to sync up with the rest of their face
• Had a rhinoplasty and find that their upper lip is too long
• Naturally unbalanced lips
• Naturally thin, inverted or flat lips that are nearly invisible, imparting an angry expression
General Information About The Procedure:
Dr. Haworth has altered his upper lip lift technique 3 times over the last 14 years. The first version involved skin-only lip lifting, but he realized that results were not as lasting and the scars not as good. Additionally, there was a higher frequency of collateral distortion around the nose in which the nostrils were displaced downwards by a millimeter or two. Therefore, he exclusively started incorporating lifting the orbicularis oris muscle (below the skin) as well. Contrary to common myth, this does not involve cutting the muscle out, but is simply a shortening or hemming of the muscle via a folding technique onto the periosteum (lining) of the bones beneath the nose. This tended to not only improve the scarring (to near invisibility) with minimal-to-no nasal distortion, but also provide far longer-lasting results.
Typical Recovery Time:
Recovery is slightly longer with some subjective stiffness and numbness of the upper lip lasting for about 2-4 months. Rarely does numbness last longer since only microscopic nerve branches exist within the area the actual cutting and sewing is performed. It is analogous to the tempoarary numbness one may experience after a breast augmentation, tummy tuck or, indeed, any type of surgery.

C Cup R4: Wigan v
Wigan cast aside their engage Super League blues with a dramatic fightback to clinch a place in the last 16 of the Powergen Challenge Cup courtesy of a 32-22 win over Wakefield.
One-time Cup kings Wigan, bottom of the table after winning just one of their opening seven games, looked to be heading out of the famous knockout tournament when they trailed 22-6 just before half-time.
But they got their act together, inspired by skipper Sean O?Loughlin and the experienced Dennis Moran, to run in 26 unanswered points and book their place in Tuesday?s fifth-round draw.
The win will lift the pressure on coach Ian Millward but increase the gloom at Belle Vue, where the Wildcats let slip a 21-0 lead against Warrington a week earlier.
Wigan, who gave a debut to 18-year-old prop Eamonn O?Carroll, now have seven weeks to prepare for their next Cup task and will be hoping this result can kick-start their League campaign, starting with another trip to Belle Vue next Friday.
Wakefield, who like Wigan were without five regulars through injury, made good use of the stiff breeze to build a 16-point lead but the turning point came just before the break thanks to an act of petulance.
The Wildcats had defended stoically to force a handover near their own line but full-back Colum Halpenny, with an eye on half-time, tossed the ball away to waste time and was rightly penalised by referee Karl Kirkpatrick.
Wigan ran the ball and full-back Chris Ashton took Bryan Fletcher?s pass to go through a gap in the home defence for a try which gave his side a lifeline.
Ashton had earlier gifted Wakefield a score when he failed to gather Jamie Rooney?s grubber kick and substitute Paul White pounced for his second try in five minutes.
White had finished off a fine break by fellow substitute Mark Applegarth to grab his first while scrum-half Sam Obst scored one try with a jinking run and created another for second rower Jamie Field with a pinpoint kick.
Wigan created several chances, particularly through the darting runs from dummy half by Mick Higham, but ruined most of them through slipshod handling in the difficult conditions.
Higham scored the other first-half try, his first for the Warriors, after Sean O?Loughlin?s kick had eluded Wakefield centre Jason Demetriou.
But it was a different story in the second half as O?Loughlin and Moran seized the initiative.
O?Loughlin went over within 90 seconds of the restart, brushing off the attempted tackle from Field, and when Moran successfully chased his own kick to the line it brought the scores level.
Rooney tried to break the deadlock with a drop goal which sailed wide and Wigan edged in front for the first time on 65 minutes with a penalty from Tickle after Field had been punished for interference at the play-the-ball.
Wakefield left winger Semi Tadulala crossed on 68 minutes but was brought back for a forward pass earlier in the move and, at the other end, Wigan?s Pat Richards dropped the ball with the line open.
The tie was finally settled through another comedy of errors, with Tadulala failing to clear the danger caused by Moran?s kick and centre David Vaealiki pounced on the loose ball to score.
Wakefield: (22) 22
Tries: Field, Obst, White 2
Goals: Rooney 3
Wigan: (12) 32
Try: Higham, Ashton, O?Loughlin, Moran Vaealiki
Goals: Tickle 3, Godwin, Richards 2
Wakefield: Halpenny, Buchanan, Demetriou, Whittle, Tadulala, Rooney, Obst, Griffin, March, Korkidas, Elima, J. Field, Betham. Replacements: White, Wrench, Applegarth, Catic.
Wigan: Ashton, Calderwood, Vaealiki, Richards, Dallas, Brown, Moran, Seu Seu, Higham, Hargreaves, Tickle, Fletcher,O?Loughlin. Replacements: Prescott, O?Carroll, Godwin, Tomkins.

What's Clearwater, St Petersburg area like? May be looking to go to the beach for a week. Can anyone recommend any villas or condos? Has the oil spill affected swimming in the sea? Thanks
I grew up in St. Petersburg so the St. Pete/Clearwater area is my old stomping ground. Beautiful beaches and if there's no oil there (as seems to be the case), it would be wonderful for a week. Since I moved away from that area, my DW and I have been back several times for a week at a time just to lay on the beach. Beautiful white sand about the consistency of sugar.Originally Posted by britchick, post: 226292
Can't recommend any villas or condos but my favorite hotel on St. Petersburg beach is the Don Cesar. Also know as the Big Pink Thing. A relic from the 1920's, but elegant to be sure.
Tom (... I do so miss that area!)
Looks lovely Tom and they have got some great deals for this August, they don't have any rooms/suites that would accommodate our needs with 2 teenagers though. We'd have to get 2 rooms and if I'm paying that much I want luxury iyswim! Will definitely save to favourites for the future
Thanks Robertcraig!
No oil on the beaches, but we passed oil skimmers headed south when we were on the panhandle.
The area is quite nice Brit, especially if you like to poke around in little shops or visit the Mote Museum, etc.
Ybor City at night is an adventure too. 'Course might not be one you want to share with teens.
Another place I just thought of is the Tradewinds Resort. My DW and I have stayed there on several occasions and been pleased with the place. It too, is right on St. Petersburg Beach. They have various flavors and sizes of rooms to accommodate most anyone.
Tom (... just thinking...)
Ybor City is a known party place. Probably more lively than you'd want your teens to be witnessing...
St. Pete's Beach has a nice Hampton Inn and Suites. We've stayed there before when going to Yankees games (when we stay over). It's within walking distance of Ceviche, an excellent tapas restaurant.
Not much of a "beach" though. More of a walking place... if that makes sense?
Tink,Originally Posted by Tink, post: 226552
What Hampton Inn are you referring to?
The only one I can see is in downtown St. Pete which is a very long way from St. Pete Beach. I don't find any Hampton Inn and Suites on St. Pete beach. If you were going to the ball game, it must be the one in downtown. Is it the one on the bay?
Tom (... I'm now officially confused! )

A Reorganization of the Seas
by Marisa Baxbaum
Evidence is mounting that our seafood preferences are causing a vast shift in the composition of aquatic ecosystems. Unless the developed world can curb its appetite for big fish – species such as tuna, cod, swordfish, marlin, grouper, haddock, sharks, and skate – these creatures will soon exist only in biology textbooks and Hemingway novels.
Threatened by overfishing. Illustration by Richard Ellis ram.biology.dal.ca
Globally, fish comprises 12% of our per capita calorie intake. In 2006, 76 million tons of commercial seafood – or seven trillion individual fish – were caught and consumed. Industrial fishing practices have become so effective that numbers of predator fish, like the ones pictured above, are dwindling. Using historical data on catch rates from 1880 to 2007, scientists at the University of British Columbia found that populations of predatory fish across the globe have declined by two thirds in the past 100 years – with 54% of that decline occurring over the past four decades. This 2011 study follows another published in 2003, which concluded that industrial fishing has eliminated 90% of large ocean fish.^ As a consequence, as fishing efficiency has gone up, catch rates have gone down; only one successful catch is made per 100 longline hooks, as opposed to 10 per 100 at the onset of industrialized fishing technologies. Those fish that are lucky enough to avoid the longlines and gillnets are not numerous enough to reproduce sustainably. While UBC researchers do not foresee a totally fishless ocean by 2050, they do predict a massive ecological reorganization: without predator controls on the population growth of prey fish, oceans will be inhabited mostly by smaller species. Already, numbers of these prey fish have more than doubled over the past century, following the decline of their natural enemies. Although in some locales, such as the North Atlantic, herring and other small fish are in jeapordy due to unmonitored midwater trawling.^ And in the Pacific, populations of sardine, anchovy and herring are being taken in ever increasing numbers to feed cats, dogs, chicken and the growing numbers of farmed fish.*
This is cause for concern, as big predator species are vital to ecosystem balance.^ Without predatory fish, we can likely look forward to murkier, less diverse waters. As populations of certain small, foraging fish increase, so does the incidence of algal blooms. This is because the small foragers eat zooplankton, which in turn consume algae. The loss of predator fish may thus precipitate a deep green sea, robbed of oxygen by these suffocating algal blooms and rendered uninhabitable to most aquatic organisms.
Climate change, in conjunction with overfishing, will also pose a threat to ecosystem vitality. Heavier rainfall, predicted to occur mostly in tropical areas, may form a surface layer of warmer, fresher water that does not mix well with the denser, colder, and saltier layers below it. This stratification of the water column inhibits the circulation of deep water nutrients, which plankton – the base of the marine food chain – need to survive. Fewer plankton means less food for fish, affecting species growth all the way up the food web. Another problematic factor is ocean acidification, caused by higher levels of dissolved CO2 in the water. Coupled with warming, acidification may put excess stress on fish and further limit their growth. Those species that simply cannot handle the changes can be expected to move to more habitable waters. This includes over 50% of our current stocks, which may relocate by up to 40 kilometers per decade.
Sharks – of which 100 million are harvested yearly – are needed to maintain healthy seagrass beds and coral reefs through similar food web mechanisms that keep foragers in check.^ But since shark fins are a delicacy than can fetch up to $500 per pound, the economics of the trade are outweighing the need for conservation efforts. Only three species out of 350 – the white, whale, and basking sharks – are actually protected from the international fishing trade, and the fishing process itself is both cruel and wasteful: once the fins are removed, the shark is usually tossed overboard to slowly die. Sadly, sharks are now as endangered as they are unfairly demonized: they constitute the largest group of threatened marine animals on the World Conservation Union's Red List.
Even though their flesh accumulates higher levels of toxic mercury and other contaminants, it's the big, predator fish that are preferred on our dinner plates. Industrialized fishing practices have enabled our oceanic scouring, but these practices cannot be blamed any more than increasing dietary demand. Fifty percent of that demand increase can be attributed to East Asian countries, and 42% of that to China. Western nations are also guilty. In Britain, native waters are so overfished that restaurants and household kitchens must rely on imports six months out of the year.^ The depleted state of 70% of U.S. fisheries prompted Congress to tighten federal catch limits in 2006, but fish stocks are still in jeopardy as of 2011:
U.S. Dept of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service Office of Sustainable Fisheries.
Unless demand lessens and stricter regulations are imposed on the fishing industry, predator fish – and the ecosystems they help support – will have little chance for recovery. The continued existence of wild oceans depends on our willingness to change our palates. For links to more sustainable seafood choices, see: inspirationgreen.com/fish-seafood-guides

May 31, 2016
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A sheriff says his deputies did not intentionally burn down a California mountain cabin where fugitive ex-police officer Christopher Dorner is believed to have died.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said Wednesday that his deputies shot pyrotechnic tear gas into the cabin and it erupted in flames.
He says the tactic was intended to drive Dorner out, but it was not their intention to set the cabin on fire.
McMahon did not say directly that the tear gas started the blaze and the cause of the fire remained unclear.
A body believed to be Dorner was discovered in the ashes of the cabin, but McMahon said authorities have not positively identified the remains.

Hometown: Bronx, NY
With no formal dance training , Stephanie learned her moves by imitating routines from music videos. In high school, she performed the self-taught routines during lunch for the entire student body. Around that same time, as puberty hit, she started gaining weight. Though she always considered herself to be a little on the heavy side, she realized her weight was an issue when she could no longer fit into her mom's clothing anymore. Growing up poor and being raised by a single mother resulted in many challenges for Stephanie, though she refuses to let them get in the way of her goals. At 207 lbs, she is ready to live her life to the fullest instead of allowing the weight to bring her down.

Ask a local government telecommunications official whats been the biggest issue in the past few years and he or she would probably say managing public rights of way. The frenzy on Wall Street over upstart dot-com firms also included the equally intense telecommunications market. Firms with names like Teligent, Covad, NorthPoint Communications and RCN were raising lots of money and laying down fiber-optic cable in anticipation of huge demands for data, voice and video services.
The demand to bury cable through cities of all sizes has been extreme, according to Ron Mallard, president of the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (NATOA) and director of telecommunications for Fairfax County, Va. "We dont want to hinder the deployment of these new technologies, but we also dont want our streets torn up every six months," he said.
But that problem may begin to slow down, now that the financial markets have cooled, cutting off the easy money that led so many firms to grow fast and to lay more fiber than was necessary in some urban areas. For communities eager to have some competition for local phone service, cable TV and high-speed access to the Internet, the wait continues. "Competition, which looked so promising before the NASDAQ collapse, has since fizzled," said Mallard.
Even in technologys hotbed, Silicon Valley, telecommunications competition has slowed, according to Brian Moura, assistant city manager for San Carlos, Calif., and chairman of the San Mateo County Telecommunications Authority. "Some cities here have competing cable service from AT&T and RCN, but RCN has pulled back, especially in the Santa Clara area," he said.
Moura pointed out that telecom firms, such as Qwest and Linx Communications, are focusing on business-oriented, long-haul connectivity from city to city or region to region, versus short-haul networks, which wire metropolitan areas. "That concerns us, because it means letting them use our right of way without providing the community any real value in return," he said.
The Mighty Bells
Nationwide, approximately 500,000 customers have lost their dial tones and Internet hookups, according to the Association for Local Telecommunications Services (ALTS). More disconnections are likely to occur as more firms close shop. And its not individuals and small businesses that are being inconvenienced. In May, a bank in Maryland lost its online banking Web site when a Web-hosting company called Pilot Network Services Inc. shut down, according to the Washington Post.
Since the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996, competition in a few local telecommunications markets has slowly taken place. Smaller firms are offering competing services in markets where once only a monopoly existed. These upstarts have spent billions of dollars and today claim over 16 million access lines in service, or about 8 percent of the local telecommunications market, according to ALTS.
But ALTS President John Windhausen has complained the challenges faced by the associations members are severe. In a statement about the health of the telecommunications market, he pointed out that the incumbent telephone companies continue to make it extremely difficult for competitors to interconnect with their networks, despite numerous federal and state orders calling on the regional Bell companies to open their networks to competition. Windhausen also pointed out that, rather than compete against each other outside their home territories, the regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) have merged into even larger companies. He also chastised local governments for imposing "enormous franchise fees and onerous regulations that are unnecessary and anti-competitive."
Service, Regulatory Concerns
As the RBOCs tighten their grip on the local telecom market, local officials worry about reduced competition, sloppy customer service and the relaxed attitude toward regulation by the Federal Communications Commission. While minimum standards are in place to ensure a certain level of service, Mallard pointed out that the rapid pace of mergers and acquisitions can

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you. I encourage you to ask me for clarification, if you are not clear with my Answer.
Question: my wife and i filed for a legal separation in colorado in 2009 and was granted one by the court in June of 2009. we have since reconciled and are living in arizona. we wish to vacate the judgment of legal separation and be legally considered "married" once again. when we contacted the clerk office in arapahoe county, colorado we were told that filing a motion to vacate judgment of legal separation was not "allowed, we should just get remarried to each other". Is this the proper and legal recourse for us? Can we just go to Las Vegas or anywhere and get remarried
Response: You are still legally married. So, there is no need to get remarried. Judgment of Legal Separation only means that any property acquired by each party after the legal separation is considered a separate property of the person who acquired it. See Colorado Revised Statutes Section 14-10-113. You can file a Joint Petition/Complaint/Application for Termination of Judgment of Legal Separation or file Joint Complaint/Petition/Application for Modification of Legal Separation and request that the Court terminate the Separation Agreement because the parties have reconciled. You can obtain a blank Complaint (Application/Petition) Form in the Clerk's office. The form must be signed by both of you. You also need to request for a hearing on your Complaint.
just to clarify even though we live in arizona we would need to travel to colorado to file the complaint/petition/application form and request a hearing in that county court. Correct?
Response: Yes, that is correct. However, you do not need to travel to file the complaint. You can request for the forms in the mail, complete, and mail the forms back to the Court, but you have to appear in person for the hearing, or ask to see if the Court has telephone hearings for out-of-state litigants and if so, ask for a telephonic hearing so that you do not have to travel to Colorado at all to get this done.

Reviews for Herceptin
For Breast Cancer, Metastatic "Herceptin is a life saver for those of us that are HER2 . I took it every 3 weeks for 52 weeks.You will need a TET done on your heart before you start and Benadryl before infusion but I had no side effects. I did take it with Taxol for 12 weeks. Life saver!"

For Breast Cancer "I did 7 months of treatment then my Oncologist had to take me off due to Congestive Heart Failure. I personally don't think Herceptin contributed to it at all but was told it was the combo of it and Adryamyacin. It was pretty bad, my ejection fraction was down to 28. I was so short of breath that just walking to the bathroom was a real effort. The fatigue was the mind numbing kind that just turning over in bed felt like I had ran a race. As for side effects for the Herceptin, I had frequent nose bleeds, mild nausea and occasional headaches. I would have gladly endured any side effects for the benefits of this life-saving drug. I am so thankful to Dr Slamon for all the work he did and to Genetech. I am a 4 year survivor so I think that says it all."

For Salivary Gland Cancer "My husband has been on Herceptin for his salivary gland cancer for 2 years. The fight to keep him on it has been harrowing as it is only formally approved for breast cancer. I truly believe it saved his life. He tested HER-2/neu positive (3) which is normally located in the breast. Dr. Posner (Dana Farber in Boston) recommended a course of treatment that included Herceptin. His Petscans have now been clear and treatment can stop at the end of August. More needs to be done to allow life saving treatment."

The Megan Meier Story:
(thanks to Drew from Digg)
Google Search: "Google Sucks" = 132,000 results
Google Search: "I Hate Google" = 27,000 results
Best of the Worst:
Note: The Google Sucks results are tainted by posts like this one from a friend, Barry Schwartz, who purposefully wrote about it in a humorous post and encouraged others to do the same. Also, the sheer number of Google users that are technologically advanced versus say a Wal-Mart customer is probably a huge difference. This means when a Wal-Mart customer gets screwed they probably turn to a lawyer or watch group rather than their blog.
You've Been Googled:
(I posted a video about Google, but on further examination it was clear that the beliefs of Less Everything weren't in alignment with those of the speaker. We personally love Google and use all of their tools, so it didn't feel right saying negative things about them. Besides I used Google to google everything, which seems to negate many of these comments. Also… Steve made me do it! So, enjoy this cute puppy!!!)

Linux sucks points: 84,300
Apple sucks points: 75,800
AT&T sucks points: 13,470
Puppies suck points: 3,423
Global Village sucks points: 8
Hurrah, my small company is one of the most popular online, even moreso than puppies!
Where's Myspace???
Myspace has 179,600 sucks points and totally qualifies as a business.
lol @Gareth. It's hard to be more popular than puppies, so that's pretty damn good.
Drew I just added an update section to the post, but Mephisto has a bug that isn't show the edits. As soon as it's fixed it'll be on there.
Gareth is absolutely right: when awarding final suck points, the honest way to go is to divide total by the number of plain hits for a Co. name.
Search for "Microsoft" brings up 734 Mhits, while for "Comcast" it's 31.5 Mhits. So, while MS has ~4x more plain suck points, it is mentioned ~22x more often. Ergo, Comcast sucks 22/4=5.5x stronger than Microsoft. This sounds about right to me.
BTW, Google searches for "Walmart" and "Wal-mart" separately: should be 76,700 suck points total using your methodology.
Paypal sucks – 152,000 suck points
adsense sucks – 199,000 suck points
You missed Google
"google sucks" = 132,000
"i hate google" = 16,100
total = 148,100
It's more hated than Microsoft these days!
Too bad God's not a company. He's got everyone beat.
"god sucks" = 2,430,000
"i hate god" = 3,630,000
With just over 6 million, God is clearly the Lord of Internet Hate.
Google is an interesting one. The simple fact that I used Google to google everything seemed to negate inclusion, but I've added it to the list with a few notes about clear SEO slants. Sites like ihategoogle.org are actually positive SEO spins… those damned, dirty SEOs!
Sprint definately needs to be added to this list.
Google results "sprint sucks" : 166,000
Google results "i hate sprint" : 481,000
this blows verizon out of the water. And as a previous Sprint customer, I can attest to their suck-factor
Man, you forgot "Hot girl sucks". You get a LOT of results for that.
You left out one of the companies I think suck most of all. Intuit, not because of TurboTax or Quicken but because of their flagship piece of **** QuickBooks.
Verizon is horrible!!! They are a joke. If they are the only service for internet and/or phones….I will go without!
"Macintosh Sucks" on Google. 1,010,000 Suck points
I think they suck more than Microsoft…
Microsoft 392,000
Windows 485,000
Vista 676,000
Apple 382,000
Mac 372,000
linux 398,000
Ubunto 1,860,000
verizon sucks more than sprint does, sprint just has a f*ck load of dumb people using their service, and verizon just overcharges and makes their service sound better.
I'd love for you to take a look at my anti-google site (gevil.org). I'd like to think it would make a nice addition to the Best of the Worst list.
verizon sucks. i hate them so much. i don't care what facet of the company we're talking about, it all sucks. but my big beef with them is when i called in, trying to fix a problem, but they magically created more problems and after 10+ hours, 12+ agents, a DSL cancellation (aka no internet access), different and inaccurate information every call, and 2 dropped calls later one agent was ignorant enough to be condescending towards me about the whole matter. WTF!? our office was defunct for a week because of the whole matter, the entire fiasco started because lines were installed improperly, no one could give me a straight answer about anything that was going on and they had been sending emails to us at a non-existent email address. but NO ONE offered to comp us on ANYTHING. not for the first, second, third…or ANY of the problems that were created due to the incompetency, poor communication, and anti-quality service of verizon. instead of the voice recording disclaimer that says your call will be recorded for quality reassurance, they need to change that to a disclaimer warning customers that interactions with verizon customer service may induce feelings of nausea, homocide, suicide, stress and a host of other absurd and hostile emotions that are indescribably extreme.
here is a conglomeration of words expressing my experience with verizon.
the agents were incompetent, confused, self-righteous, indifferent, unsympathetic, annoyed…
the results were few, problematic, nonexistent, insufficient…
and a whole slew of other expressions that make me think of verizon: F*CK!, are you f*cking serious, WTF, please-don't transfer me again, i'm not getting off the phone with you until this is fixed, so this is the 4th person i've talked to today…, crying, feeling helpless, OMGGG, pleeeeeeeeeeeease just FIX IT, but i made my payment last week…why did you turn my internet off, why didn't anyone tell me this before, why did they say (insert what previous agent said) if you say (insert what current agent is saying)…
the disclaimer also needs to note that these effects could last anywhere from 2 hours to 5+ weeks. and that towards the end of the said time frame, the most pervasive feelings will be pure rage mixed with helplessness and a loss of words either due to the fact that you have explained your situation so many times you are unsure if you can possibly repeat it again or that your rage and helplessness are so pure that they are absolutely inexplicable.
spread the shiz! fertilize the hate for verizon!
Myspace has 179,600 sucks points and totally qualifies as a business.
I think they suck more than Google
Sears ranks right up there with the worst of the worst.
Ever buy an appliance from Sears, ever call customer service to get it fixed when it doesn't work…and trust me if its a Kenmore it will need service…and its worse if you are under warranty or have an extended plan…because they have you…3 weeks just to get a service tech to come out and look at my refrigerator…then they cancelled on the day he was to come out…he was too busy….rescheduled me for 10 days later (that's 4+ weeks just to get a service tech out)…oh, don't try to speak to a customer service rep…I was disconnected 3 times and when I made an issue out of that, I was put on hold for
1hr 40minutes (100 minutes)- then they disconnected me…Unlike the other companies on this list, there are viable alternative retailers to SEARS…with all of the complaints about Sears (just google Sears Sucks), I calling for a National Boycott of Sears
Yes, Verizon DSL does suck—big time. I've switched to Comcast permanently. The reason I switched: I have this friend who works as a network specialist for Verizon. And he told me that if I gave him the name an address of anyone within his area he could run a report on their surfing habits and give a copy to me. I didn't believe him so, I gave him the address of several of my co-workers. Low and behold! The things you can tell about a person from their surfing habits. I learned that one of my co-workers, a woman of 45 is trying to get pregnant by using a sperm bank. Who knew? The way she rejects the guys in the office, we though she was a dyke. She has been doing online searches for sperm banks in the area. She even placed an online ad for sperm donors. Why must they always have a high IQ? Anyway, my boss, he is 65, wears incontinence pads. Now I know what was in the paper sack he carries into the bathroom. And he orders them wholesale online. These surfing reports were becoming addictive. So I gave my friend at Verizon my neighbors names and addresses. I discovered that the couple next door visits all sorts of dirty porn sites at night, one was dealing with bestiality. Although, it could be just the him, because his wife works most week nights. My neighbor to the right of me, so sad, I believe she has pancreatic cancer. We can tell because she is constantly searching for treatment articles on the internet. She has always looked sickly to me. Now I know why. Yes, I am a hypocrite. Albeit I like the reports, I would not want to be spied. My friend tells me that half of the network specialist at Verizon are running these reports for their friends and many are doing it for money. For the record, Verizon's policy is that they do not engage in this sort of thing. Off they record, maybe not Verizon, but their employees sure do. The thing of it is, I don't think it is against the law, though it may be unethical for the employees to do that. I must admit this is addicitive. Now I want to know about my shady pastor and if only I knew the address of the rude cashier who works at the WaWa not far from me. What a bitch! I would like to know her secrets. I guess after all Verizon is good for something.

So i built an app that functions as a lock screen replacement. I use a broadcast receiver and a service to start my activity after
Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF. So that every time the user locks the screen my activity starts, then when they press the unlock button my activity is already running over the lock screen. But this only works if the user tries to wake up/unlock the phone after a short amount of time. If they wait too long the activity has vanished. I'm not sure why this is happening and what I can do to keep the activity there no matter how long the user waits to try to unlock their phone.
I thought about and tried listening for
Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON but then there is a delay between the time when the user presses the power button on their phone to wake it up and when the app loads and shows up on the screen. During this gap the user can see the android OS

Money for Nothing
|Money for Nothing
|GTA Vice City Stories
|Bryan Forbes
|Downtown, Vice City
|Caught as an Act
Money for Nothing is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, given by Bryan Forbes.
Vic drops-by Bryan Forbes' apartment and sees him and Lance. The trio after an argument decide to go out and take a decoy van. After arriving at the warehouse, Forbes and Lance go to the actual van with the drugs while Vic drives the decoy van and lead the cops away from them. Upon reaching the destination, Vic loses the wanted levels and mission is completed.
(Lance, Forbes, Vic inside Forbes' apartment.)
Forbes: 'Course, you can't kid a kidder. Hey, Vic!
Vic: Hey.
Lance: Yo, bro, wassup? [laughs]
Forbes: So, Vic, you wanna hear about a little plan that is going to make us three very rich?
Lance: Very rich.
Vic: So what's the risk?
Forbes: Well, let me put it like this: you will not be handling any drugs. All I need you to do is keep the cops busy while Lance and I steal some merch' off the scum who brought it into this country.
Lance: The drugs are already here, so we ain't drug trafficking.
Forbes: Exactly! You're just the decoy. All you gotta do is make the police THINK you're carrying. They can't arrest you for that.
Vic: No, but they can shoot me.
Forbes: Don't be ridiculous!
Lance: Yeah. Come on, man! Come on.
Forbes: Vic, you'll be fine! Rich and fine.
Vic: Alright, let's do it.
Lance: Yeah! Let's pop!
(Vic, Forbes and Lance in a warehouse and radio.)
Lance: This is gonna be the decoy van. Come on, Vic, you drive.
Vic: This van's the wrong colour, Forbes.
Forbes: Relax. It's nothing a little paint can't fix.
Lance: This van is good to Van Gogh!
Forbes: Yeah, funny... Vic, take the decoy and lead the cops away from here. We'll let you know when we're home free.
Lance: [on radio] Breaker - Breaker. What's your twenty?
Vic: For Christ-sake's Lance, speak English.
Lance: [on radio] Uh, yeah... We're on our way. Keep the cops busy. We're nearly there. Just a little longer. Hey, Bryan, can we stop for a burger? We're there! Ten-Ten, let's do it again, big cowboy. Lose the smokey, Vic. You're all done.

The original landmark London production based on Michael Morpurgo's classic novel, broadcast live in stunning HD At the outbreak of World War I, a horse named Joey is sold to the Cavalry. So begins an incredible journey from the idyllic fields of Devon to the hellish trenches of France. Skilfully adapted for the stage by Nick Stafford from Michael Morpurgo's bestselling novel, 'War Horse' was an instant hit when it opened at the National Theatre back in 2007. Packed with moving music and songs, this hugely inventive production features breathtaking life sized horse puppets by South Africa's acclaimed Handspring Puppet Company. The Sunday Times described this compelling show as "the theatrical event of the decade". The public agreed. An international smash hit, 'War Horse' has been seen by more than four million people worldwide. Now the original production comes to Cineworld live from the West End in fabulous HD.

A flexible documentation generator and source code parser.
Mia is a customizable documentation generator for JavaScript based on esprima.
Note: Mia is still in alpha status, right now it only comes with a few basic modules for parsing standard, prototypical code and it's own doc format.
Mia provides enhancements to the AST which are used by (custom) parser modules to generate documentation for all kind of different JavaScript patterns and conventions.
It tries to be open minded about the source code it is parsing and not make any particular assumptions about structure or style.
Mia works in 3 steps:
First Mia needs to parse the code in question, this is done by calling
mia.parse() and specifying the parsers to be run over the source.
var mia = require'mia' fs = require'fs'; var source = fsreadFileSync'source.js'toString;var module = miaparse 'Module' // Name of the module source module: 'iife' // Detect standard anonymous function wrappers source: 'prototypical' // Detect standrad prototypical classes annotation: 'mia' // Use mia annotations ;
module will be a serializable JSON structure which contains all information
returned by the different parsers. An example can be found in this gist.
While the structure already contains all the required information to build documentation from it, the data is still not combined in a template friendly way.
By calling
mia.generate() with the module and the matching generator a nicer
structure can be generated which is easy to work with using standard template engines.
var template = miageneratemodule 'mia';
Below is a list of the parsers Mia currently ships with.:
Source Parsers
Module Parsers
Annotation Parsers
It is easy to extend as you can just pass your custom functions to Mia instead of a parser name.
The following generators are currently included:
Mia is licenses under MIT.

First off thanks to all the guys who helped me with my bike decision,I ended up with the Muirwoods 29er and I'm happy.
My commute is just 5 miles each way and I almost wish it was a little longer.Its a bit of a workout for me at this point(getting in shape is a motivating factor), but I know ill get stronger pretty quick and it will be easy.Most of my commute is straight down the Ironhorse trail(bike path), so its cool to see other commuters and joggers etc.,and exchange good morns. It was,however, kinda embarrassing when a guy on a road bike in cycle gear flew by me like I was standing still.Made me feel fat and old
Anyway,I'm hooked. Its a great way to start the day.

> As some are pointing out now, OOP designs to not have to be hierarchical. However, outside of hierarchies, OO tends to lose its selling point. It is just a bunch of nodes (objects) with pointers to link them up, a big graph.
I agree. In cases where data is highly structured, representing them with a RMDB provides many advantages. However in cases where data is highly unstructured, representing them with a RMDB can also become more difficult and starts to lose some of its advantages.
> There may not be any other path to betterment besides experimentation.
One result of such experimentation is db for dummies. It has a very general method of representing things. In fact, the same basic method is used to represent lists, tables, trees, graphs, networks, etc and yet are navigable via high-level queries. Would someone be interested in comparing the adv/disadv of RM vs dbd using the example posted at www.dbfordummies.com/example/ex039.asp which models a food judging contest. If that one is too simple, we can extend www.dbfordummies.com/example/ex123.asp which models 10 computer systems, each with different hardware configuration.

1. Ana IVANOVIC (SRB). The reigning Roland Garros champion is now the World #1 player and is playing her first major tournament seeded #1. Last year she had the misfortune to be in the path of Venus Williams' rampage to the title although she did play a stirring match against Nicole Vaidisova in the quarterfinal the round before her thumping loss to Venus. Happily, this year Ivanovic's draw insures an almost clear path to a semi-final clash with 2-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams. Different Williams sister, same result. PREDICTION: Semi-finalist.
2. Jelena JANKOVIC (SRB). Last year, the less successful of the Serbian duo had her string of major semi-finals snapped by shock Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli in a tough 3-set 4th round match. It was that match that made many a fan of "Maid Marion" although in the past year the Frenchwoman has not been able to repeat her success, she has managed to stay very close to the Top 10. Wimbledon has been Jankovic's least successful slam, never getting past the 4th round here. But this year Jankovic enters the grass court tournament having taken an unusual hiatus (for her) since the Roland Garros heartbreaker she lost to Ivanovic. Thanks to her improved seeding Jankovic shouldn't face another Top 10 seed until she meets Venus in the quarter-final, if Venus gets that far. PREDICTION: Quarter-finalist.
3. Maria SHARAPOVA (RUS). As usual, the draw is pretty kind to the WTA's "It Girl." Sharapova has potential match-ups with Sybille Bammer or Dinara Safina/Lindsay Davenport/Elena Dementieva/Lucia Safarova before a blockbuster semifinal against Venus. Sharapova likes grass and will be looking for revenge against whomever makes it out of the top half of her quarter. Personally I hope that it is Lindsay, but I think it will be Safina. And that's probably good news for Sharapova. PREDICTION: Semi-finalist.
4. Svetlana KUZNETSOVA (RUS). This year Sveta has a very nice draw and should have few problems getting to a quarterfinal against Serena. Unfortunately, Sveta appears to only play well every other year at Wimbledon and 2008 is scheduled to be an off year. As long as no-one tells her this, she should be able to match her best result at Wimbledon, otherwise Aggie Radwanska or one of the Bondarenko sisters could take her out in one of the early rounds. Losing early in a Wimbledon warm-up shouldn't increase her confidence. PREDICTION: Quarter-finalist (at best).
5. Elena DEMENTIEVA (RUS). If she survives a 3rd round match-up with Lindsay Davenport, the quietest of the Russians will face Safina who just beat her at the 2008 French Open and then Sharapova after that. That is a gauntlet few players would survive and Dementieva has never played her best at Wimbledon, preferring the hard courts of America. PREDICTION: 3rd Round Loss.
6. Serena WILLIAMS (USA). Serena has already expressed "sadness" about Justine Henin's recent departure from competitive tennis and if you believe that I have a great bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Her draw is definitely tricky, with a potential 3rd round match with fading Amelie Mauresmo and a 4th round match with quirky Marion Bartoli. After that she could face a quarterfinal against Kuznetsova and a semifinal against Ivanovic. All of these are matches the 8-time Grand Slam champ could win with about half of them being matches she should win. I'll put my money on another all-Williams final. PREDICTION: Finalist.
7. Venus WILLIAMS (USA). The "best grass court player of her generation" (as commentator Mary Carillo calls her) is the defending Wimbledon champion. In typical Williams fashion, Venus has not played a single grass court match since her Cinderella run to the final in 2008. However, she has a pretty good draw, with only Sania Mirza, Daniela Hantuchova and Jankovic standing in her way of a potential semifinal showdown with Maria Sharapova (or possibly Lindsay Davenport). The question is, will Venus circa 2007 show up or will it be Venus circa 2004? Not having seen her play recently, I still give her great odds to get to her seventh Wimbledon final in 9 years. PREDICTION: Finalist.
8. Anna CHAKVETADZE (RUS). (Un)fortunately for Chakvetadze, she is in newly minted World #1's quarter of the draw which is relatively free of dangerous players. But it only takes one to take you out of the tournament and Ivanovic will happily do the job. PREDICTION: Quarter-finalist.
9. Dinara SAFINA (RUS). The 2008 French Open finalist has put the physical side of her game together and is starting to maximize her considerable tennis talent. Now comes the harder question of whether she can make the parallel improvements to her mental fortitude. A quarterfinal run at Wimbledon will indicate she is well on her way to doing just that. PREDICTION: Quarter-finalist.
10. Daniela HANTUCHOVA (SVK). The only player in the Top 10 who is
not from Russia, United States or Serbia, the Slovak is an excellent
grass court player, and if she is healthy should do well at Wimbledon this year. After last year's operatic loss to Serena Williams in the Round of 16, Hantuchova
can't be too happy that this time it's Venus that she could meet in this year's Round of 16. PREDICTION: 4th Round Loss.

Google's Chrome reached the 1.0 version in December, though I felt it was a little rushed, intended to exit beta so that bundling deals could be made. Since then, Google has been updating builds in two release channels: developer and stable. Their latest release, re-introduces the beta channel, however.
The reason for this is that the beta channel is better tested than the developer channel, so if you want to try out new features with the reassurance that it will be relatively stable, the beta channel version is the way to go. And Google has some new "tricks" it wants users to try out.
And what Google wants users to really try out right now is the newest Javascript engine in Chrome. It's through changes in the Javascript engine that Firefox 3.5 (nee 3.1), Safari 4, Chrome, and IE8 have been dueling over performance numbers.
According to Google's blog post:
The best thing about this new beta is speed — it's 25% faster on our V8 benchmark and 35% faster on the Sunspider benchmark than the current stable channel version and almost twice as fast when compared to our original beta version.
Some of the new features you can try out include form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll (both thanks to a new version of WebKit), and a cool new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view (shown below).
Check out the new tab dragging feature below. And you can download the latest beta here.
