I'm just glad it all made sense and indeed it starts taking a lot of cpu to manipulate a lot of features interactively especially when talking line by line video hardware reprogramming. Really I think most folk would be overjoyed with palettes, complete sprite freedom and scrolling, I'd certainly like dual playfields too.
Thanks for the explanations, I'm pretty clear now on all the features you were talking about. I'll see what I can do and what makes sense. Some stuff is obviously easier than others, and a few I think are too advanced for the 99/4A.
Plus extra pocketmoney too couldn't hurt
I have definitely given that some thought too! The 99/4A hobby market is not as big as we would all like it to be, so any means to expand the potential user base makes things more feasible, and in some cases possible.
Yes, yes it is. And many people have the perception that just because their modern PC has something, or that the collective "we" have had such technology for years and years, that is should be a simple thing to add. People forget that it took years of iterative development and knowledge to create the stuff we have today, or even chips that came a few years later (like the 9938/59, 9990, etc.) However, as a hardware developer, I'm just starting out and I don't have the luxury of a team of electrical engineers and mathematicians to help work out the design, or years of making graphic hardware.
On the plus side, what would have taken a team of well qualified professionals in 1980 can be done by just one guy, I just wish the cost of physically realising things was lower, what starts looking like a $20 of parts project is guaranteed to end up costing a minimum of $100 for each unit.
Well, start simple, once you know that you got the basic stuff nailed down you can start adding crazy stuff for later versions.
It is easy to get lost in a feature list; I did when I started working out the features I originally wanted to include, and almost none of those features are in the design today.

NEW DELHI: The latest document dump from Wiki-Leaks has pointed to the role of Pakistan's ISI in sheltering Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda's terror merchants in Pakistan. The Daily Telegraph, which accessed a US diplomatic dispatch, said General Abdullo Sadulloevich Nazarov, a senior Tajik counter-terrorism official, had told the Americans that many inside Pakistan knew where bin Laden was.
"In Pakistan, Osama bin Laden wasn't an invisible man, and many knew his whereabouts in North Waziristan, but whenever security forces attempted a raid on his hideouts , the enemy received warning of their approach from sources in the security forces." This could possibly be the reason why Pakistan was not kept on the loop over its operation against Osama in Abbottabad.

While Jerusalem expresses its concern over historic activation of Bushehr nuclear reactor, Israeli researchers explain facility really a Russian achievement, say Tehran will find it difficult to deceive Moscow and use nuclear waste to develop weapon
Dudi Cohen

In accordance with the agreement signed between Iran and Russia, Moscow will provide Tehran with the nuclear fuel and get in back later under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
But who will guarantee that the Russians indeed prevent Iran from using the nuclear waste for military purposes?
Iran will likely use its first nuclear-related achievement for its own needs, but according to Asculai, this is in fact a Russian achievement, as Russia is the country operating the reactor. "This proves nothing in terms of the Iranian control of nuclear capabilities," he stressed.

Have you ever wondered why insoles for high arches are recommended?
If there's a high arch in a foot, the foot is not considered flexible. Surprisingly to some, it's a flat foot that is actually the most flexible but a flat foot is so flexible that the bones in the natural arch of the foot lose their shape with every step taken.
A high arch is where the bones of the feet are positioned in a higher arch, and it's not flexible. The bones hold the position of the foot and arch in its place.
A high arch may result from a neurological condition although it may also be a genetic trait passed down from parents to the children. In some neurological conditions, the arch continues to get higher and higher until it is impossible to walk.
There may be pain with a high arch because the muscles of the feet are forced to do extra work by keeping the foot in that high arch position. Without insoles for high arches, the foot muscles will tire from the extra work and cause pain and stiffness.
With insoles for high arches in your shoes, the high arch support acts as a crutch for your foot and relieves some of the muscle overactivity.
The point is that with a high arch, you are always going to have this muscle overactivity, and that's why you need insoles for high arches. The insoles for high arches are exactly the answer for your high arches.
You may be thinking, "Wait a minute. My high arch feet are pretty. They allow me to wear high heels for a longer period of time. And I don't feel any pain or stiffness. I still don't think I need insoles for high arches."
If so, remember that there are many cases where the pain and stiffness isn't felt in a child with a high arch until he or she reaches the
teen years. But still you have the structure of a foot that is going to break down in time and cause the pain and stiffness. It's like a bridge made of wood. Sooner or later the wood will decay and will need to be replaced. But if you know that ahead of time and are watching for it, you can add reinforcement and prevent the collapse.
Insoles for high arches are the same. They are reinforcement. They allow you to go on about your life to take care of all the other fires. And you'll know that one fire is already put out before it occurs – the fire from a high arch. Insoles for high arches are always a smart move.

CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Thursday denied rumors of a setback in his health, saying he is at work and expects to finish with cancer treatments soon.
Chavez called state television and urged Venezuelans to "pay no attention to rumors." He appeared to be referring to a report in El Nuevo Herald of Miami that he had been hospitalized and that his condition might be deteriorating.
"I'm fine," Chavez said. "I'm here in my place of work and working."
Chavez said he is taking steroids and other medicines as he recovers from chemotherapy treatments for cancer. He said he is working at "half throttle" while undergoing physical and medical therapy.
He finished a fourth round of chemotherapy in Cuba last week and says he is done with those treatments.
"I'm going to completely get out of this soon," Chavez said.
Chavez underwent surgery in Cuba in June to remove a tumor from his pelvic region.
He has not specified where the tumor was located. He has said previously that tests have shown no signs of a recurrence.
The president said his body has coped well with chemotherapy and assured Venezuelans he would keep them informed.
"I would be the first ... to communicate any difficulty in the process. None beyond the normal has come up," Chavez said.
Critics of Chavez have accused him of giving slow, incomplete reports on his illness that have fed rumors.
Chavez acknowledged that he had been treated for cancer on June 30. He said later the surgery to remove the tumor was performed on June 20.
While Chavez has claimed that all is well after completing rounds of chemotherapy, repeated reports have painted a different picture of the Venezuelan president's health. Fox News Latino reports that Chavez is in serious condition at Caracas' Military Hospital. Sources point to possible kidney failure, and former U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS) Roger Noriega reportedly told El Nuevo Herald that Chavez is "not improving like his doctors had hoped."
El Nuevo Herald reports that Chavez has been taken to the emergency room. "When he arrived, he was extremely sick and as a result they had to take him to the emergency room," a source said in Spanish.
Despite swirling rumors about his health, the Venezuelan president has repeatedly dismissed claims about the severity of his illness, saying he plans to run for a fourth term as president in the 2012 elections. President Chavez previously told the Associated Press that Venezuela's political opposition is using his poor health "to generate uncertainty in the country and take advantage of my illness from the political point of view."
According to El Nuevo Herald, former ambassador Noriega said in Spanish, "We must begin to think of -- and should begin to prepare ourselves for -- a world without Hugo Chavez."

Tiny Price - Trendy Kreuzberg

There is a bunk bed, a single bed, and a sofa bed for 2 persons.
The room is private but shares the bathroom with another room on the same floor.
The accommodation is located in the famous district of Kreuzberg. While Berlin was divided, this neighborhood was a border area of West Berlin, where the rents were low enough to attract artists, dropouts and immigrants. For this reason, Kreuzberg has been known ever since for its multicultural flair and alternative subculture.
Night owls can enjoy the legendary `Kreuzberg nights' especially in the area around Mehringdamm, Bergmannstraße and in the Oranienstraße. In Kreuzberg you will find clubs like 'SO36', 'Watergate' (both less than 10 min by foot) or 'SchwuZ': this area has something to suit everyone's taste.
The Görlitzer Park is a beloved summer meeting place for young people. It is just around the corner.
If you want to chill out, the 'Victoriapark' is a popular relaxation area in in the western part of the district. Here you will find the eponymous Kreuzberg Hill, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view. During the summer, an artificial stream flows down from the top in the form of a waterfall.
Kreuzberg is well connected to the neighboring districts through the U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U6, U7 and U8, and the S-Bahn lines S41 and S42 (circle line). Unlike the eastern districts there is no tram network.
The neighbors are very happy when it's quiet in the yard from 22 clock.
Smoking is not allowed in the guesthouse. You can smoke in the backyard.
Wifi is free. PLEASE NOTE: Germany is very strict chasing people who download content illegally and apply heavy fines. Please don't! We would like to keep the internet open for our guests.

The position is perfect, close to the tube station, nice neighborhood with a wonderful turkish place for breakfast. The owners are kind and well organised. Room and bathroom are clean.
The owner of this place has super human energy and so does the area its in. We barely had a still moment. Pop up parties in Gorlitzer Park, bars and clubs within stumbling distance. Fantastic.
If you want to find the real taste of Berlin there is no better place to stay! It's not an anonymous hotel but clean and cosy place to chill. The central location allows you to go out whenever you want - U-Bahn line lets you go for the remote part of the city but there are many nice cafes and pubs nearby. The very friendly atmosphere created by the host fulfill the overall positive opinion. I hope it was a first but not last time I stayed there. Have a nice stay at freiraum!
Muy buena elección para visitar la ciudad, apartamento cómodo, con buenas vistas y bien ubicado. Ivos estuvo nos recibió amablemente e incluso llamo por teléfono a una intérprete por si teníamos alguna duda.
Tolles Apartment, super Lage, unkompliziert - alles super!
Schönes, kleines Appartement. Für den Kurzurlaub in Berlin einfach perfekt. Alles drin was man braucht- seperates Bad, Küche eingerichtet mit allen nötigen Utensilien und Geräten, Top-W-lan und Lage ist einfach perfekt. Ein ruhiges Haus, auch in der Nacht und der Ausblick aus dem 15 Stock ist herrlich über Berlin. Man stolpert in drei Minuten zum Alex, von dort aus ist man fast überall in Berlin sehr schnell mit den öffentlichen, bzw. von dort aus fährt einfach alles. Direkte, einfache und schnelle Komunkation mit dem Vermieter und der Preis stimmt absolut für das, was man alles bekommt.
Muy lindo piso, muy tranquilo en vecindario.
Ottima posiZione. Ottima comunicazione. Appartamento comodo pulito, ben tenuto e con tutti gli attrezzi utili , sia in cucina che nel resto della casa. Consiglio vivamente questo appartamento per un soggiorno a Berlino, sia con amici , in coppia e familiari.
Simply loved it! :)

I'm about to publish my second novel and I'm looking for a print quality, professional looking map akin to what you'd see in a George R.R. Martin novel, in the sort of style you'd see here:
Estimated print size will be in the neighborhood of 850 x 600 pixels or 8.5" x 5.5". I love the look of pen and paper mapmaking done electronically.
I have a rough sketch that I am ashamed to post, but that can serve as guide to the geography of the world in question, complete with cities, rivers, etc. I just need a skilled cartographer to make it look good. I need it in about a week, give or take a few days. Faster would be better. It's a black and white project, because it's going into my second novel. Credit will be given to the mapmaker in the acknowledgments, but the world's design, city names, etc are already copyrighted to me, so I'll need the copyright to the map as well.
If I'm pleased with the work, I have more that will need to be done as time goes by - my world is expanding, and I'm on book 2 of a biiig series. Will need some city maps in the future, as well as additional continents. Hope this post fits the criteria, because this is obviously my first attempt at hiring a mapmaker. Thanks for the attention!

The Open Darts Tournament Database
For all your open darts tournament needs, I have created a website service just for you – player or organiser!
The brand new darts website at http://www.opendartstournaments.co.uk intends to plug the gap below the BDO/PDC organised tournaments; a reliable way of matching up dart players to the many great open darts tournaments. It is designed as a 'central database' to house a fully searchable and indexed list of UK wide private darts competitions, which any player, of any level, can search and use a resource to find prize giving tournaments in any area of the UK.
We also invite any organisers of darts comps to register, and enter details of any open tournament, big or small, into our database, then let me promote and find players for you. Darts players can use our simple search page, or register and save their preferences, and sit back and let our automated match up process send you e-mails for any tournaments which match your criteria (county and min top prize).
Please help us make this new darts resource a big success – tell anyone you know who organises pub/club darts tournaments, as it's a great way for them to reach potential players (which makes their tournament more of a success!), and if you're a player yourself, please sign up, and let any friends know who may be interested. Open tournaments by their definition are OPEN; so are usually welcome to players of all standards (and codes, be that BDO or PDC or a pub player).
The most important think about the "Open Darts Tournament Database" is that it is FREE, and meant to be a useful central resource for everyone – it's not meant to replace or compete with the posts made in darts forums or other means to advertise a darts comp, rather a complimentary way of pulling them all together in once searchable place.

We told you about the Chicka Chicka videos when they were introduced on single disk DVDs years ago. This new entry with both Chicka storybooks on one disk is part of a bigger collection, subtitled...more stories about letters and numbers. Another great choice from the Scholastic Storybook Treasures that includes 9 other storybook classics such as Emily's First 100 Days of School, How Much is a Million?, Millions of Cats, Inch by Inch and other gems. You may want to check the full list against those you may already own. There is a lot of overlap in the various Storybook Treasure collections and some are more animated than others. That said, these are videos with some of the best loved picturebooks often narrated by well known actors. Kids can watch them as pure entertainment or switch on the words and they can read along.

By Prarthito Maity | Dec 07, 2012 10:01 PM EST
Ubisoft's latest open world role-playing first-person shooter 'Far Cry 3' has garnered critical acclaim since its official arrival. Now there's some good news for PC gamers as per reports, the company has released a host of fixes for PC gamers who have been facing a lot of technical glitches in the game's PC version.
Follow us
The newly released 'Far Cry 3' patch for the PC version of the game is expected to improve stability, team balancing, and matchmaking, and fix issues where players fall through the world and the map editor unfortunately crashes at launch. There are also fixes to the Ubisoft server sync issue, alongside a fix employed for leaderboards.
Check the list of fixes below.
Multiplayer fixes for the patch- PVP
Single Player fixes for the patch
Map Editor: Fix for the Map Editor crash at launch when the PC user contains language-specific characters.
This is a major development to the game after it was reported that Ubisoft had confirmed that the company had fixed every other issue that had been making the game's PC gameplay next to impossible.
This patch was released after many PC gamers complained that they weren't being able to play the game's single-player version due to Uplay, which requires the Internet to authenticate the game. This problem persisted even after Ubisoft had revealed earlier that 'Far Cry 3' won't have any DRM.
"Today is my day off, hooray! And so far I've been treated to a horrible, horrible time, and all at the hands of the technical mess that is Uplay and idiotic mechanical choices. And right now? Ubisoft's servers are down. On launch day. You can still play in offline mode, but ho boy, this isn't a good start," Rock Paper Shotgun's John Walker previously wrote.
Walker also mentioned that the only way to get around this problem is to set Uplay to offline mode.

I have a pair of Pearl Ultrasensor, and a pair of Nike Elite shorts. The Nike shorts are a bit better but in no way good. This totally sucks. Does anybody have any serious advice? I would really like to get some shorts that don't cause this problem. Thanks.

Cancer Prevention: What Works?
Controversial and Unproven
Although you might read about various links between cancer and certain lifestyle choices, many of these claims haven't impressed the serious scientists. Internet emails, for example, have proclaimed that chemicals in underarm antiperspirants are absorbed through the skin and interfere with normal circulation, causing toxins to build up and trigger breast cancer. But according to the American Cancer Society (ACS), there is "no experimental or epidemiological evidence to support this rumor."
One popular urban legend has implicated underwire bras as a cause of breast cancer, claiming that they obstruct lymph circulation, although the ACS insists that there is no credible research that supports this claim. There is probably no need to give up coffee, either -- at least not now. Caffeine may increase symptoms of fibrocystic breast lumps, but there is no proof that this benign breast disease increases the likelihood of breast cancer.
What Makes Sense?
So what should you do for cancer prevention? "At least 50% of cancers in the U.S. could be prevented just based on what we already know about risk factors," says Stein. Here are some recommendations to take seriously:
- Stop smoking or using tobacco products. In 2002, tobacco use caused more than 430,000 deaths from cancer and other serious diseases. Tobacco is a major cause of preventable disease and premature death. It increases the risk for cancer of the lung, esophagus, pancreas, kidney, bladder, and uterine cervix. For cancer prevention, throw out your cigarettes and avoid secondhand or environmental tobacco smoke, too.
- Protect your skin in the sun. The majority of skin cancers are caused by excess ultraviolet radiation exposure, most of which comes from the sun. Wear SPF 15 (or higher) sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat to guard against skin cancer. Avoid direct sunlight during the hours when the sun's ultraviolet rays are the strongest (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.). The American cancer Society also recommends avoiding tanning beds and sun lamps.
Lose any excess pounds. About 64% of men and women in the U.S. were overweight or obese in 1999, based on data from the surgeon general, and over 25% of the U.S. population is obese. According to the ACS, about a third of all cancer deaths from 2002 were expected to be related to nutrition, physical inactivity, obesity, and other lifestyle factors and could have been prevented. An ACS study in the April issue of TheNew England Journal of Medicine suggests that about 14% of all cancer deaths in men and 20% of those in women are associated with excess body weight.
"If there were one perfect way to lose weight, you wouldn't go into the bookstore and find a hundred different diet books," says Litin. "It boils down to this: Healthy eating, consuming less calories than you burn up, and doing more exercise."
- Fiber up. Although doctors continue to debate the cancer prevention effects of a diet rich in fiber (emphasizing whole-grain products, cereals, vegetables, and fruits), two major studies published in the British medical journal The Lancet in May found that the risk of colorectal cancer was reduced with high intakes of dietary fiber. In one of those studies, conducted in 10 European countries, the individuals who consumed the most dietary fiber (averaging 35 grams a day) experienced a 40% lower risk of colon cancer than subjects eating the least fiber (averaging 15 grams a day).
- Get active. Exercise may help regulate hormones and "growth factors" that have been linked to cancer. According to Stein, all adults should accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity on most days of the week, including walking, bicycling, gardening, dancing, and cleaning. This activity, she says, "does not need to be done all at once -- 10 minutes here and there add up."
- Consider "chemoprevention." If you're at high risk for breast cancer (because of a strong family history, for example), your doctor may recommend taking a prescription drug called tamoxifen to reduce your chances of developing the disease. However, in a report in July 2002, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force advised that the drug not be given to women with a low or average breast cancer risk.
- Get tested. Annual screenings are advisable for all adults. Early detection, says Bevers, offers the best chance of successful treatment.

Keshe: "changes (coming) that man could never imagine"
Relevance: Directory:Keshe Foundation
- From: Wa D
- Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 5:12 PM
- Subject: Last 18 minutes of interview with Mr. Keshe on March 14, 2014
- This is not an exact transcription, listen for yourself at this link. http://smokereality.com
- In the next few weeks we will see changes that man could never imagine because of the knowledge man will receive freely. Very soon the rulers of force who thought they had gotten away with it will now have to answer for their own conduct to humanity. Our knowledge Seeker Groups cover the Globe and respond to our openness and fairness.
- I invite President Obama to come and see the Knowledge Seekers at work in Italy to see how knowledge can be used for peace. We will put people to shame for fighting each other.
- We publish who is attacking us not to cause problems but to show we know what they are up to. In the world Secret Services there are people who are sent to bring down the Keshe Foundation but as they study our documents and presentations they realize how correct our knowledge is and they inform us to protect us. This is how we know what is coming against us. As they see how the technology is helping they become our supporters. They serve two masters, those who pay them and the master of their own soul. They still need the money but they know where the truth is.
- I come from a culture where every guest is a God. We welcome the guest into our home and we give them the best seat and the best food and if they stay we give them our bed and we sleep on the floor. We are a very rich culture, we are a very mature culture. Now the culture we gave to the Romans and the Greeks is back to the same level of before the revolution. When I went to Iran in 2008 to teach their scientist the technology I took a day off and went back to my high school that is attended by Christians, Jews, Muslims, Ashawis and Armenians all together. In our culture religion has no meaning, humility has all the meaning all the time. We are one of the few nations of the world, if you are a Jew a Russian an Armenian a Turk still you say I am Iranian but we are still loyal and proud to be what we are. We look after each other, the situation Iran has been thru in the last thirty years(I think he is talking about the US using Iraq to invade Iran) still when an American comes here we give him the best seat in the house, we give them the best food we have, we look at them as brothers, we look at them as people we have to respect because they are guest in our house. Some people see this as a weakness but then in fact we monitor you as you stay in our house we see how you eat, how you behave, then we see if we invite you back or not. This comes from the maturity of the culture. As I said to a British guy many years ago that a few hundred years ago the British did not know what a spade or an arrow was the only thing they knew was how to paint themselves blue and they would jump out of the jungle in front of the enemy and the enemy would run because they had never seen a blue man. This was like us seeing a Martian that is why they are called the blue blooded English. So I said to him when you use to paint yourself blue we had an empire. So our culture is very rich, they misunderstand our culture with the way we work thru our culture.
- Question: Since you talk about ancient times do you think there was in ancient times the use of advance technology?
- Let me explain to you this is the third time we open the advance technology to man. This is the third time and the last time. This is not the first time but before man did not have the knowledge to understand the totality. Now man has reached the level to understand part of the totality and this is one of the reasons we see so much resistance to the Keshe Foundation because they see it as a threat but they should see it as a gift. If you look around the planet people have been painting things on the walls of caves for centuries. So this is the third and the last time then the file will be closed. There is so much time you put into a company to save it and then you close the book. The book will be closed when the transformation is complete. They said in the books the maturity of man will come when we understand the transmutation of elements. So now we understand the transmutation of elements fully thru the development of the reactor which creates gravity and magnetic field, you call it the reactor of the Proton the reactor of the Neutron the Planet the Solar System the Universe, it is all the same. Then what would you like the system to make for you Gold, Water, Aluminum or Hydrogen? It produces every thing at the same time together. So now we know the knowledge the knowledge of the creation. The ones who oppose us are afraid of what they might lose. They think they might lose their palaces and their titles. My message for you people is very simple you will gain more than you can ever imagine. Leave it to them let the short sighted man stay shortsighted. Let the man who is wise see the wisdom of the work.

Before electricity became universal, some farms produced their own electricity using systems like windmills. Now, whether out of concern for the environment, self-sufficiency, or wanting to plan for the future, some Idahoans want to create their own power — if the power company lets them.
Companies like Idaho Power and Intermountain Gas are governed by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. Utilities are private companies, and are entitled to a profit; the PUC makes sure the rights of the people are protected and utilities don't make too much of a profit. So whenever a utility wants to do something that could change its rates — including building new facilities — it has to go through the PUC and get its approval.
Several issues surrounding renewable energy and energy conservation have come up about environmental concerns vs. costs. It's an interesting question. Idaho has some of the lowest electrical costs in the country, thanks to hydropower, and many people are alert to anything that could raise rates.
It goes back to when Idaho Power received approval to build its Langley Gulch combined-cycle gas turbine plant in New Plymouth. Combined-cycle means the Langley Gulch plant recaptures energy that is usually lost in a simple-cycle energy plant. This makes it more expensive to build, but cheaper to run. The Langley Gulch plant started running last summer, and, according to the Idaho Press Tribune, resulted in an increase of 6.8% in our electric rates.
However, now that the Langley Gulch plant is up and running, Idaho Power wants to use it, so it is ending several programs intended to create or conserve energy. For example, you may have used Cool Credit, which put a little box on your air conditioning system that would let Idaho Power shut off the A/C in your house for up to 15 minutes per hour. This meant that Idaho Power could keep from having to buy more expensive power on the spot market, when it ran out of the power it generated itself. What saved even more energy was Irrigation Peak Rewards, a similar program for irrigation pivots — which, being really big, use a lot more power than air conditioners. Earlier this year, Idaho Power asked to stop both those programs until 2016. The PUC approved the change but is still holding workshops on what to do with these programs.
More recently, Idaho Power tried to change the rules for its "net metering" customers — that is, people who had their own solar energy systems on their own property to make electricity for their own use. When the systems created more power than the people used, they could sell the excess electricity to Idaho Power, at a rate set by the PUC.
Saying those people weren't paying their share of the physical system that transmits power, Idaho Power wanted to change costs associated with the net metering program, warning that otherwise rates for everyone else might go up. The change would raise costs high enough that it would no longer be cost-effective for people to use their own solar power systems — even if they had invested a lot of money in them based on the original net metering rates.
People who had solar power systems, as well as people in the solar power industry, protested this action. (In fact, many more people protested this change than had protested Idaho Power's 8 percent rate hike earlier this year — a rate hike that Idaho Power said it
needed because of the lack of rain this winter.)
The PUC recently agreed with the protesters and said Idaho Power couldn't make those sweeping changes in the net metering program, because it hadn't made its case strongly enough that the changes were necessary to keep the rates low for everyone else.
The story isn't over. When the Legislature goes into session, it might make legislation or rules that make it harder for people to have their own solar energy systems. Similarly, some members of the Legislature have in recent years been against wind power systems and have brought forth legislation to make it harder to set them up. It will be interesting to see whether legislators who support Idaho Power will do what the PUC wouldn't.

Ecologic studies are notorious for inherent errors of methodology, confounding variables, and magnifying other sample biases intrinsic to fault-prone, population-based epidemiological studies. But in the paper, "Firearm Ownership and Violent Crime in the U.S.—An Ecologic Study," recently published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine,[1] we find additional problems resulting from the well known proclivity of many public health researchers of using preordained, result-oriented research to push for their personal views favoring gun control and militating for disarming law-abiding citizens, purportedly to reduce gun crime perpetrated by the not-so-law-abiding felons and career criminals who, as a matter of course, ignore and flaunt the law.[2-4]
From the outset the article reveals the authors' biases. The study begins by listing the frightening statistics of gun homicides in the U.S. with the usual obligatory comparison with other "industrialized nations (mostly Europe)," neglecting world demographics, migrations, socioeconomics, history and geography, which brings to mind our next door neighbor Mexico, as well as Brazil and most of the Western hemisphere, not to...
In medicine and surgery, traditional medical ethics have been based on the Oath of Hippocrates that has endured through the centuries because its precepts are patient-oriented — namely, that the first consideration of the physician is the needs of the individual patient. Doctors are sworn to do no harm and to advise and do what is in the best interest of their patients; third-party payers, insurers, society and the State are (or should be) secondary considerations.
For several decades progressive academicians have been pushing for a new term — i.e., bioethics.[3] And even more recently, a newer term, tailor-made for the neurosciences and neurosurgical specialties, has come into vogue — i.e., neuroethics.[2]
Bioethics (and potentially neuroethics) is based on utilitarianism and collectivist, population-based ethics that are susceptible to manipulation by social engineers, and the influence of government monetary and funding considerations.[1-4] Bioethics and the veterinary ethic are applicable to humane animal research and when treating sick and injured animals — in which the veterinarian does not act necessarily in the best interest of the injured animal, but...
Dear Miguel,
I just read your magnificent papers recently appearing in Surgical Neurology International (SNI). Your rebuttal to the comment on your original article on ethics and morality was a masterpiece of scholarship and reasoned logic.(1) It was a delightful tour of moral history. You made a well-reasoned argument against the leftist mentality of excluding ideas that are contrary to the accepted leftist paradigm. This is a holdover from the Marxist idea that since Marxism/Leninism is "scientifically" determined, no further discussions are needed or should be allowed — in their view such additions to the argument only create confusion and discord. As I wrote in my article on contrary views as a "mental illness," not only are these contrary views considered by the left as a social irritant, but also they are dangerous to the social body and therefore should be treated as such.(2)
I also particularly enjoyed your handling and discussions of the blatant double standards exercised by such critics — that is, how the leftist-leaning medical journals are at liberty to expound endlessly, most often with extremely poor scholarship, on their views of the perfect...
A small but explosive book was recently published by a Macon, Georgia, author that deserves close perusal not only in Middle Georgia but all of America. The book is Land Grab — How Our Country Can Grab Your Land Without Paying a Fair Price (2014) by Alan H. Preston, who like his brother, uncle, and father, has a degree in Forestry (from the University of Georgia). His parents, Druid and Carol Preston, have been our good friends and neighbors in Macon for nearly 30 years.
In the first part of his book, Alan recounts the poignant story of how his grandfather, Abb Preston, after working and improving his land in west Georgia for many years, lost sizeable tracts of property to the federal government during the expansion of Fort Benning in 1941. Abb was a patriotic citizen and did not question the need for expansion of the military base just before the onset of World War II. What shocked him and his young sons, Druid and Richard, was the way they were treated and the forceful taking of Abb's property without fair and just compensation in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I prefer to let the readers find out for themselves the disturbing...
Abstract — In discussing bioethics and the formulation of neuroethics, the question has arisen as to whether secular humanism should be the sole philosophical guiding light, to the exclusion of any discussion (or even mention) of religious morality, in professional medical ethics. In addition, the question has arisen as to whether freedom or censorship should be part of medical (and neuroscience) journalism. Should independent medical journals abstain from discussing certain issues, or should only the major medical journals — i.e., the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) or Lancet — be heard, speaking with one "consensual," authoritative voice? This issue is particularly important in controversial topics impacting medical politics — e.g., public health policy, socio-economics, bioethics, and the so-called redistributive justice in health care. Should all sides be heard when those controversial topics are discussed or only a consensual (monolithic) side? This historical review article discusses those issues and opts for freedom in medical and surgical practice as well as freedom in medical journalism, particularly in...
This is the third volume of the monumental A History of Medicine series by the medical historian and classical scholar Plinio Prioreschi M.D., PhD.[1] A limited number of these books were published, and the reader would be fortunate to find copies of the tomes for less than $350 U.S. dollars. We have already reviewed Volume I: Primitive and Ancient Medicine (2nd edition, 1995) and Volume II: Greek Medicine (2nd edition, 1996).[2,3] We found both of these tomes to be excellent journeys to the history of medicine (and indirectly medical ethics). This third volume continues the well‑researched scholarly tradition as well as hypnotic eloquence of Dr. Plinio Prioreschi's narrative.
Once again, it is worth repeating that Dr. Prioreschi does not hesitate to deviate from orthodox or dogmatic views when new facts have come to light, when previous information has been neglected or misinterpreted, or when logical reasoning calls for a new interpretation of the facts. He does the same in this, the heftiest of the first three volumes — if one includes his Foreword, Introduction, and Index — at over 800 pages.
By 268 B.C., Rome was the eternal city, the caput mundi and mistress...
It is not often one comes across a book that contains so much useful and enlightening information and wisdom. In Vandals at the Gates of Medicine, Dr. Miguel Faria has captured the essence of our nation's problem — collectivism. As he so forcefully points out, we have, as a people, abandoned the principles that made this a great nation, a nation of free and virtuous people.
His writing style is lucid and makes a complex and often difficult topic enjoyable to read and easy to understand. I have learned a great deal reading this wonderful book. Unlike many pure historians, Dr. Faria brings together a multitude of disciplines — ethics, philosophy, mythology, religion, political science and law — into a synthesis that is vital to understanding the pernicious nature of collectivism. Within these disciplines he weaves his vast practical experience as a neurosurgeon.
I compare Dr. Faria's writing style to one of my favorite authors, Eric von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, as one of a handful of people who is able to do what Dr. Faria has done, that is, present history as it should be presented as a total and all encompassing study of mankind, or as Ludwig von Mises puts it — Human...
In our review of the first volume in this series we introduced the medical scholar Dr. Plinio Prioreschi, the author of this marvelous narrative of the history of medicine, and listed the composition of this series of tomes for the benefit of the readers.[1] We do so again here for the same reason:
A History of Medicine — Volume I: Primitive and Ancient Medicine (2nd edition, 1995); 596 pages
A History of Medicine — Volume II: Greek Medicine (2nd edition, 1996); 771 pages
A History of Medicine — Volume III: Roman Medicine (1st edition, 1998); 822 pages
A History of Medicine — Volume IV: Byzantine and Islamic Medicine (2001); 498 pages
A History of Medicine — Volume V: Medieval Medicine (2003); 804 pages
A History of Medicine — Volume VI: Renaissance Medicine (2007); 801 pages
In this review, we will restrict ourselves to reviewing the second tome in the series — Greek Medicine as it relates to medical history and ethics.[3] From the outset, let us state this volume is also magnificent and continues in the same tradition of Prioreschi's excellent scholarship, orderly organization, and superb narration. As we will see, Prioreschi...
Plinio Prioreschi, MD, PhD (1930–2014), the author of this monumental series of tomes on the history of medicine was an accomplished scholar — i.e., physician, scientist, linguist (of classical and several modern languages), pharmacologist, medical historian, and ethicist, as well as thinker, although he did not necessarily claim all of these accomplishments. Prioreschi completed his MD (1954) at the University of Pavia, Italy, and his PhD (1961) in experimental medicine at the University of Montreal. From 1967 to 2002, Prioreschi was a professor of pharmacology and medicine at Creighton University. He was also an accomplished medical scientist, medical scholar, as well as a formidable figure in pharmacology and medical history and ethics. The complete series of his authoritative series, A History of Medicine, to which he devoted more than 20 years of his life, includes:
A History of Medicine – Volume I: Primitive and Ancient Medicine (1995); 596 pages
A History of Medicine – Volume II: Greek Medicine (1996); 771 pages
A History of Medicine – Volume III: Roman Medicine (1998); 822 pages
A History of Medicine – Volume IV: Byzantine and...
No sooner does a U.S. presidential election end than a new round of politicking for the next election begins, as if four years hence were just right around the corner!
True, the midterm congressional elections — in which the full House of Representatives and one-third of the U.S. Senate is up for re-election — provide a bit of a non-presidential political interlude, but the presidential electioneering is just under the surface. The mainstream media (MSM), the same media that on the surface militates for campaign finance reform, are the same opinion molders keeping presidential campaigning looming behind the clouds on the political horizon.
We the people complain in letters to the editor, blogs, opinion polls, object to political signs, etc., and emphatically blame the perpetual politicians for their year round congressional and presidential political campaigning to no avail. We are more than cloyed with so many political advertisements. But who is really at fault for the year round politicking and the political (television) advertisements of the campaign season that has surfeited our political senses?

Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
Job is a book of unique renown. For people who undergo any kind of suffering, Job confronts the difficult question of theodicy (as C.S. Lewis puts it, "the problem of pain"). It challenges the blessing/reward theology found in the Pentateuch and the view that God ought not be confronted in times of trial. Job is honest with God about his pain, and is richly rewarded in the end.
The New International Commentary: The Book of Job provides essential contextual information and insightful commentary on the Hebrew text of Job. This evangelical commentary comes with an introduction that addresses context, canonicity, literary aspects, theology, and message. Author John E. Hartley's wide knowledge of the ancient Near East will put Job in the light of its own time without sacrificing contemporary scholarship and or the meaning of the text itself.

RAINN Appoints Frederick Arnold as Chairperson of the Board of Directors
February 4, 2009 – (Washington, DC) – RAINN is pleased to announce that Frederick Arnold has been elected chairperson of the organization's board of directors. Arnold has served on RAINN's board for three years, serving as chair of RAINN's audit committee.
RAINN is the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization and was named one of "America's 100 Best Charities" by Worth magazine. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE) and the Online Hotline (rainn.org) in partnership with over 1,100 local rape crisis centers across the country. The hotlines have helped more than 1.2 million people since 1994. RAINN also carries out additional programs to help victims, to prevent sexual assault and to ensure that rapists are brought to justice.
"We are thrilled to have such an outstanding advocate as Fred serve as our board chair," said Scott Berkowitz, president and founder of RAINN. "Fred's experience, management and financial expertise, and strategic mind have already been of great value to RAINN, and he will play a vital role as we continue to grow the organization in order to keep up with the vast demand from victims of sexual assault. His dedication to RAINN is truly remarkable and we look forward to the progress we'll make in the fight against sexual violence under his leadership of the board."
Of his new role, Mr. Arnold said, "I am honored that Scott and the rest of the board have asked me to chair this already impressive organization, nationally recognized as the leading voice on issues related to sexual violence. I look forward to working with RAINN's leadership team and supporters to further advance the fight against sexual violence, and continue to raise awareness about this very serious crime that affects one in six women and one in 33 men in our country."
Mr. Arnold has had a distinguished career in international finance, both as a highly respected corporate advisor and more recently as chief financial officer at a series of private equity-owned portfolio companies.
Mr. Arnold's financial and administrative positions include senior leadership roles at Masonite International and Willis Group, both at the time owned by Kohlberg, Kravis and Roberts. At Masonite, the largest manufacturer of doors in the world, Mr. Arnold served as chief financial officer, while at Willis he was both chief financial officer of Willis North America and chief administrative officer of the group.
Mr. Arnold joined Willis after 20 years as an investment banker working from both New York and London, primarily at Lehman Brothers and Smith Barney, where he was managing director and head of European corporate finance.
A native of White Plains, New York, Mr. Arnold graduated from Amherst College summa cum laude, earned law degrees from Oxford University (MA) and Yale University (JD), and is a member of the New York Bar.
In addition to his support of RAINN, Mr. Arnold's other charitable efforts include advising small local companies on behalf of the New York City Investment Partnership and fundraising leadership activities for Amherst College.

If so, you're in for a welcome change tomorrow when Riley at IU Health** opens a new main entrance, lobby and parking garage, offering more convenient access to the hospital.
This is the latest phase to open in the Simon Family Tower – a 10-story, 675,000 square-foot addition to Riley at IU Health, designed to boost capacity, increase efficiency and enhance patient satisfaction. Patients moved into rooms on the seventh, eighth and ninth floors of the building in January 2011.
- Riley at IU Health now has a new main entrance: 705 Riley Hospital Drive.

- The new Simon Family Tower Parking Garage, which is attached to the lobby, offers validated discounted parking for parents and guardians of Riley at IU Health patients.
- Riley at IU Health's previous main entrance in the Atrium – 702 Barnhill Drive – will close to the public and become a service and delivery entrance only.
Work on the $475 million project began in summer 2006. In November 2007, the Simon family announced a $40 million gift toward the completion of the project. Economic conditions temporarily halted the project in early 2009 and work re-started in early 2010. Construction is scheduled for completion in December 2013.
On Aug. 29, Indiana University Health, Riley at IU Health, Riley Children's Foundation, donors and staff will join the Simon family and other dignitaries for a formal celebration of the project. The media will be invited. Tours and interviews will be offered at that time.
Pictures of the new main entrance, lobby and parking garage are available upon request.

UK Employment Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Hi, I have been working in this company for about one and a half year, and last week I gave my one month notice.
I am entitled to 10 days of holidays so far this year. Unfortunately my employer doesn't want to give me those days off and she wants me to work them and get paid for the holidays. Can she do this? She argues that there is a shortage of staff, even though she can hire someone from an agency as the company usually dies.

Kevin Costner specialized in portraying baseball players. His characters were rogues and throwbacks, weathered men who loved every park and every perk.
For inspiration, he looked to Mark Grace.
Wouldn't you?
"Remember 'For Love of the Game?' Grace said. "(Costner) told me that character was the pitching version of me. It was one of the most flattering things I've ever heard because that was one of the few baseball movies that made me well up and cry.
"I felt like that was my love for the game. When I was just hanging on at the end of my career, man, I just needed one more moment."
Mark Grace has a bat in his hands and a buzz in his ears. It's Game 7 of the 2001 World Series. He can see the team owner shouting at him in the crowd.
"Let's go," Jerry Colangelo said. "You're the guy!"
The batter gathers his thoughts. He's always been able to size up pitchers, to immediately grasp the narrative. This one was easy.
Mariano Rivera struck out the side in the previous inning. Grace had watched the last helpless hitter from the on-deck circle. He was toast.
He turned to his teammate, Greg Colbrunn, a pinch-hitter following him in the batting order.
"Should I take a pitch?" Grace asks.
"(Bleep) no," Colbrunn says. "Take his ass deep."
When the Diamondbacks signed Grace in December 2000, they got experience, stability, a great glove, a clutch bat, a wealth of good humor - and a sagging heart that still hasn't recovered.
"To this day, I still haven't gotten over the Cubs thing," he said. "It's probably wrong and sophomoric, but you know what? My feelings are my feelings."
For those who lived in Chicago when Grace was the modern-day Ernie Banks, the hurt is understandable.
Back in the day, Grace was a rare ray of sunshine at Wrigley Field, a great player on undernourished, pathetic teams. He played 13 years for the Cubs, and only three of those teams finished above .500.
Still, he became a national star during the 1989 playoffs, staging an epic dual with the Giants' Will Clark. During the 1990s, he collected more hits than any other player in Major League Baseball.
"I wanted to be a Cub forever," Grace said. "Everybody knew that."
With his contract expiring, his agent received strange vibes from the Cubs. First, they put off signing Grace because they were allegedly pursuing a pair of marquee free agents, Alex Rodriguez and Mike Hampton.
Then they began talking about Hee-Seop Choi as a rising star at first base.
"Then I was awfully, shockingly non-tendered by the Cubs," Grace said. "They were saying we are not interested in Mark Grace at any price. Not for one dollar and not for $20 million. And because they've waited two months to tell me this, now I'm scrambling for a job. And I'm (bleeping) pissed."
Here's what happened, folks: The Cubs figured they didn't need to pay an aging legend past his prime. The powerful Harry Caray, the broadcaster who was one of Grace's biggest fans, had passed away two years earlier. The team had a new box office superhero in Sammy Sosa, who blew kisses to adoring fans, bashed home runs at a historic pace, and did things Grace never could.
Back then, he even spoke English.
"Sammy wanted me out," Grace said. "They sold their soul to the devil, and look what they got out of it."
By the way, Choi would hit .180 and .218 in two seasons with the Cubs, and was out of the game by 2005.
Grace was once a Mesa tourist attraction, just like Ryne Sandberg and Ron Santo and all those other great Cubs. Now, in February 2001, he was pointing his car toward Tucson, a veteran swallowing his pride and a huge pay cut.
"I'm thinking, 'I'm sharing a complex with the White Sox?' " Grace said. "Who shares a complex?"
His car broke down near the ostrich farm on I-10. A flatbed truck towed him the rest of the way.
He walked into a clubhouse full of veteran leadership. He made peace with Randy Johnson, who had plunked him in the side with a pitch the previous season, prompting Grace to find blood in his urine for days to come.
He was the perfect addition to a veteran, multicultural team.
"There was not a panic bone in his body," said Matt Williams, former Diamondbacks' third baseman. "The image of him is the scrawny-legged guy sitting at his locker with a beer and a cigarette after going 4-for-4, and he just can't get enough of it. He'll talk baseball all night. That's him."
Said former general manager Joe Garagiola, Jr.: "He was right out of the old school in the best sense. You show up, you're ready to play, and the players solve their own problems. There's respect, but there's tremendous peer pressure. He thrived on that."
As he walked to home plate, Grace looked into the Yankees' dugout. He saw Don Zimmer, his former manager with the Cubs. Their eyes met, and Zimmer ducked his head.
"I knew that if I made an out, we were going to lose that game," Grace said. "I just knew it."
Instead, Grace sparked the greatest comeback in Arizona sports history. Ten years later, the Cubs still haven't won a World Series.
Later that night, when the reporters had cleaned out, Grace looked up and saw Zimmer enter the Diamondbacks' weight room area. They shared a hug, and Grace saw tears in Zimmer's eyes.
"If it weren't for you, I'd be really upset right now," Zimmer said.
Grace's impact in Arizona far exceeds his statistical output over three seasons. His work as a color analyst has only enhanced his standing. He remains one of the organization's most popular assets.
He doesn't hate the Cubs any longer. He even went back to sing during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field. His grudge is condensed to two executives no longer with the organization.
Yet like Costner's characters, Grace is more complex than people think. Buried under all that mirth, the sense of injustice still burns, even with his own Hollywood ending. And for those who think he'll eventually make a triumphant return to Wrigley Field as manager or broadcaster?
"I will be loyal to this organization until they tell me to go home," Grace said. "I love being here. I love living here. This is home for me now. And when I see that Chicago weather, I ask myself: Why?' "

TV network exec meetings in staffing season: three things that surprise me
So here's a run-down of staffing season thus far for this aspiring TV writer:
March: Bang out original spec script at behest of agent.
April: Lurk in L.A. waiting for meetings.
Careful what you wish for. Suddenly, I've got meetings out the yin yang.
I'm taking what are called general meetings, or meetings with network and studio executives who want to get all up in my grill and figure out who I am. No, that's not really true. (But it sounded good, right?) Basically the meetings are what in the real world we call informational: hello, how do you do, and who the hell do you think you are that you think you can write for the greatest medium in existence?
Three things surprised me:
• No one has any interest in reading your spec, unless it's original. If you're a long-toothed TV writer or a Starbucks barista with big ears, you know this: no one of consequence wants to read a spec by a no-name writer for an existing show. Which is jarring when that's the magic formula we've all been taught. Every TV writing class you take and every TV writing book you buy will tell you that what you need to do to get a job in TV is to go write a fake episode for a real show. No: what execs today want to see is a writing sample for an imaginary show you've dreamed up all on your ownsome. No matter that it's terrible; it's original.
• They want to talk about your (original) script. Where did the idea come from? What happens next? How does the series play out? Just FYI, this answer does not play: "Dude, it's just a writing sample. How the hell do I know?"
• Network execs are people, too. They have kids. They break their ankles. They go to church. In other words, they're totally nice and relatable. Who knew?

The truth is simple and undeniable: the financial interests of big industries undermine the health and happiness of you and your family. The only way you can effectively fight these damaging forces is to become informed and then take appropriate actions. Your goal should be to get as far away as possible from the medical business. The only way to safely accomplish this is to become healthy. Sick people take medications and require surgeries – healthy people do not. You are not a helpless victim, and disease and obesity are not inevitable – and both of these undesirable conditions can be cured. McDougall's Medicine always works for people at risk for, and suffering with, common diseases of diet and lifestyle. Now is the right time to make the change.

Me Fuck You Longtime
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Okay, I'm not the biggest fan of always being politically correct. However, sometimes a stereotype doesn't seem funny, not because it's offensive, but just because it's so outdated and overused. That's how I feel about naming an Asian site Me Fuck You Long Time since it sounds like a Jerry Lewis impression of an Oriental hooker. There's nothing sexy about that, but the same can't be said about the chicks showcased here.
MeFuckYouLongTime has 20 episodes downloadable as excellent-quality Windows Media files or choose average-looking MPEGs and iPod-compatible files. As is always the case with these Wild Pass network sites, the sex is raw and hardcore. There are plenty of unsheathed cocks to see shoving into pussy and ass.
Often you can watch two dicks at once working the same chick over and each session ends with either a messy facial or some cum swallowing. The site brings together exceptionally hot Asian ladies with some very well-hung studs, making the elasticity of their pussies and butts that much more impressive.
There aren't any photo sets, but members get some sweet extras to compensate for that. For example, you get access to 49 other websites, including the likes of Gape Her Ass, Knee High Sox, Sexy Cum Swappers and Stay After Class.
Members can also check out a collection of over 2,100 downloadable DVDs featuring stuff that looks just as good as the main action. The DVDs cover multiple genres of hardcore, including interracial sex, Latinas, ebony boning, coeds and more.
Since Me Fuck You Long Time costs the same as a single site, but offers so much more, anyone who can appreciate more than Asian action will think its a worthwhile investment. The lack of updates is the only real downfall.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
