BOSTON--The United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) has awarded interim approval to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) to conduct liver transplantation surgery. This approval serves as the regulatory foundation of BIDMC's multidisciplinary Liver Center. The Liver Center was created four months ago when Maureen Martin, M.D., was recruited to be the chief of the division of liver surgery and transplantation.
With the UNOS approval, BIDMC is now enrolling patients on the New England Organ Bank waiting list for donor livers. UNOS oversees organ donation and distribution policies in the United States and is under contract with the federal Department of Health and Human Services to operate the national transplant network. These responsibilities include coordinating the national donor organ recipient waiting list and establishing policies on organ allocation. BIDMC is in line for full approval from UNOS, which requires a vote by UNOS's board at its next meeting in May.
Other recent and notable developments for the center include the recruitment of Nazem H. Afdahl, M.D., to be the chief of hepatology, and Amadeo Marcos, M.D., to be the director of the living donor transplant program. Afdhal, the former chief of hepatology at Boston University Medical Center, is a leading medical expert in hepatitis C. He is the principal investigator of a national study aimed at determining if a tandem of two drugs can prevent liver damage from hepatitis C. Marcos comes to BIDMC from Virginia Commonwealth University, where he was director of the living donor transplant program. He conducted his first donor resection case in June 1998, and since then has performed the most adult living donor transplant surgeries in the United States.
Liver disease, while not as well known to the public as heart disease, is a significant national health problem due to the seriousness of its disorders and the numbers of people affected. It is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. In addition, there are an estimated 3.9 million Americans chronically infected with hepatitis C, a disease that sometimes shows no symptoms until well advanced in its severity.
The BIDMC Liver Center utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to treating liver diseases and conditions, with an emphasis in four areas: liver failure, liver tumors, liver transplant, and viral hepatitis.
Liver failure program The liver failure program provides therapy for patients who are experiencing acute and chronic liver failure. Left untreated, liver failure can lead to coma, renal failure and cardio-pulmonary collapse. BIDMC has established the first dedicated Liver Intensive Care Unit on the East Coast. An integrated team of physicians and nurses care for liver failure patients using state of the art technology including new liver dialysis systems and cellular and organ transplantation. This unit also treats patients who are undergoing major liver surgery or who are recovery from transplantation surgery.
Liver tumor program The liver tumor program draws together a team of experts, including radiologists, oncologists, and surgeons, to bear on primary and metastatic liver cancers. Depending on the type of cancer, treatment options can include the surgical removal of the tumor, but this is limited to cases in which the rest of the liver functions well and there is no advanced cirrhosis. In some cases, the liver must be removed and replaced with a donor liver. Other treatments include chemotherapy, cryosurgery, chemoembolization and the use of microwaves, radiofrequency waves or laser energy to destroy the tumor.
Liver transplantation program The liver transplantation program team consists of nationally recognized surgeons who have expertise in adult living donor liver transplants, split and reduced size liver transplants and cadaver transplants. In addition, the surgeons collaborate with their Liver Center colleagues and members of BIDMC's Cancer Center to provide an aggressive multi-modality approach to non-transplant options with a particular interest in primary and metastatic liver tumors, radiologic and surgical portal shunting procedures, and complex hepatic and biliary reconstructions.
Viral hepatitis program The viral hepatitis program is focused on understanding how viral hepatitis B and C affect and damage the liver. The Center offers the latest in clinical therapy including trials of new long-acting or PEG-interferons that are given in combination with other anti-viral treatments. The program specializes in treating patients who are co-infected with both HIV and hepatitis C and in using new therapies to prevent progression of liver disease especially cirrhosis.
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is a major patient care, research and teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School and a founding member of CareGroup Healthcare System. BIDMC is the third largest recipient of National Institutes of Health research funding among independent U.S. teaching hospitals.

It's an afternoon matchup on NBC as the Red Wings host the Coyotes in Game Two of their Western Conference Quarterfinal matchup.
Since Detroit won Game One, a lot of the talk has been about how the Coyotes need to be more physical and/or goalie Ilya Bryzgalov needs to be better. Both may be true and are signs that, on the flip side, the Red Wings can't be content with how they played on Wednesday.
If the Coyotes can find another gear, the Wings will have to as well. They made their share of mistakes on Wednesday night and against a Phoenix team that's firing on all cylanders, that could have been critical.
Detroit hasn't started an afternoon game time on time all season, so that'll be the big issue for them to deal with. The series is too young for a must-win game but if the Red Wings can hold serve at home they'll be in very good position heading to Glendale for Game Three.
If you're not out tailgating down at The Joe, you're wrong!
Seriously, the Wings need to swell up and come out flying when that puck drops. No more slow starts please.
Holy christ. Datsyuk goes between the legs, Bryzgalov makes the stop but Helm gets the rebound. What a play.
I think that was the best first period I've seen all year. But then, I haven't been able to watch that many games this year. Someone chime in if they agree or not.
BTW, congrats to Pasha for winning the best Russian NHL player of the year.
For those not on Twitter, from @timlogue: "BREAKING: NHL found a buyer for the Coyotes! Datsyuk owns them."

(KSDK Sports) -- The ace, Adam Wainwright got it done in typical fashion Sunday. Wainwright went 7 strong, giving up 5 hits along with one walk and one run, while striking out 11 Cubs batters to earn his long elusive 14th win of the season.
The Cardinals got on the board first in their half of the second when center fielder, Jon Jay doubled (22) on a ground ball to left fielder David DeJesus, scoring Yadier Molina scores. Four batters later, Matt Carpenter singles on a sharp ground ball to center fielder Junior Lake. Jay scored and Wong scored, giving the Cardinals a 3-0 lead.
In the seventh, the suddenly red-hot Jon Jay showed off his power, the other way, sending the ball out of Wrigley for his 6th home run of 2013, scoring Allen Craig and Yadier Molina.
But the story of the day was Wainwright, who appeared to have command of his best two pitches, his curve and his cutter, allowing him to dominate Cub hitters and help give the Cardinals another series win, taking two of three from the Cubs.
After reaching his 13th win last month, it would take Wainwright nearly another month and four starts to earn number 14.

Yes, this is a for-profit, higher education company.
As such, the company takes Title IV funding, state/federal loans/grants for students. I would not consider it a direct government contractor, per se, but a firm involved in serving the goals of higher education which implies some obligations to do so ethically and in the best interests of society.
Management was informed. My response on the "MySafeWorkplace", just checked it today, from the HR and Global Compliance Officer was: "This matter was investigated with all available facts and will be closed".
The problem is that the facts are not available to them given the uniqueness of California Law where the individual likely served time for insurance fraud (he was self-employed immediately after the arrest for 18 months) but that after a seven year period, no information on felonies are provided in background checks.... So, they my company is either unable to get the information that they need or they are unwilling. ?

PULLMAN, Wash. - Five Washington State University Cougars were represented on the All-Pacific-10 Conference teams following the release of Phil Steele's college football mid-season awards, Oct. 12.
Junior wide receiver Brandon Gibson highlighted the list, earning the Cougars' lone selection to Steele's All-Pac-10 first team. Gibson leads the Pac-10 in receiving yards (94.5) and is second in receptions at 6.50 per game.
Fellow WSU wide receiver Michael Bumpus earned second team honors, as did senior quarterback Alex Brink and senior tight end Jed Collins. Senior offensive guard Bobby Byrd rounded out the list with third team accolades.

I think that we should elect George Zimmerman.
He knows how to show how brave he is and he will get us back to shooting unarmed people.
If you thought the last GOP primary freak show was hysterical just wait until all the right wing entertainer huksters come out to play in 2016. Ahahah
It ain't over till the "fat lady" sings......
....we all know who that will be.
The RINOs still own the GOP.
Rand Paul and Chris Christie are the only ones with a chance so far, for obviously different reasons.
That is quite the array of candidates listed within the short article. I believe Santorum does not stand a chance with The American Moderate–a.k.a. most of America. He only was able to put such a strong hold against Romney because he had the conservative, elder vote in the bag. I believe Christie or Ryan have the best chance of running for office. Christie has potential to obtain the independent and libertarian votes in the popular vote; Ryan, however, will easily get put through the primaries due to his conservative views. It is about time the GOP realizes that what their current beliefs are only only blinding—belief provincialism, if you will.
God save us.....
Right now, there's a baby being born who may be President in, say, 2064. In the spirit of this article, let's take a look at birth records around the country and see who might be a viable candidate. And while we're at it, let's make guesses about all the elections until that time. After all, it's never too early to play this stupid, boring, senseless game....
the WSJ just put together a photo-op worthy of People Magazine
They might just as well print each of these clowns' press releases for all the critical review of their self-promotional material that went into this piece of drek.
After Governor Christie's outburst about John Boehner's failure to promote the pork-laden assistance bill post-Sandy, I'm thinking his star has fallen in Republican ranks. Of course he is concerned for the suffering of his people, and of course a bill should have been passed by now. But the delay should be blamed on the folks in Congress who added so much pork to the bill that it could not be passed as is. A clean bill should and would have passed with strong bipartison support in record time, were it not for the garbage loaded into the bill.
The USA loses 250,000 elderly voters per year. Most of them vote(d) GOP.
Also, make sure he isn't born in a foreign country like Hawai'i.
His star has fallen within the tea party, but it has risen among centrist Democrats and Republicans. And Americans are, by nature, centrist.
No, stop pretending. Without equal spending cuts, I don't think any spending bill will ever again pass with strong support from GOP, unless its for death machines.
Actually, individual precincts and counties tend to be very polarized politically, it's the "blend" that moves a state to appear more centrist. In reality, Americans are either conservative or liberal, very little in the "tweener" category.

The Real Housewives Of New Jersey Stars May Be Sued For Bloody Brawl
October 01, 2013 02:00 PM by Suzy Kerr
The stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey really need to learn how to retract their claws, because their antics have once again landed them in hot water. This time, the Jersey crew is being sued for a melee that happened at a hair salon back in March and involved Joe Gorga, Chris and Jacqueline Laurita and Johnny Karagiorgis.
Though the film crew captured all the footage, Bravo elected not to air any of it during the Season 5 finale. Here's what went down: apparently, the Lauritas believed that Karagiorgis was spreading rumors that their son Nicholas Laurita doesn't really have autism. One thing led to another, with Karagiorgis swapping insults with the Lauritas and Gorga, and that's when sh*t got real. Punches were thrown, glass was broken and expensive salon sinks were damaged. By the time the brawl was over, the place looked more like an active crime scene than a place where housewives go to get their hair did.
The glass has long since been cleaned up at the salon, but it seems the real fun will start soon for The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars that were involved in the drama. Even though all four stars filed charges after the fracas, a New Jersey court dismissed them last week. In spite of that, Karagiorgis is planning on moving forward with a lawsuit that names not just the others involved in the fight, but also Bravo, NBC, the production company and the security teams. Even the salon owners are being named in the lawsuit, as Karagiorgis alleges that the brawl was pre-planned as part of a larger conspiracy against him.
What are your thoughts on this? Are you surprised at any of it? Is Johnny right to sue everyone? Tell us in the comments!

Intelligence Bulletin Vol 2 * No 43
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, this last week has been spent getting a lot of things fixed that we wanted to get done before the Holidays.
The Squad Leader commands are coming along nicely, we have locked down the features for the first iteration and we are talking about and designing the next iteration. Today Reto.Hr.Wille discovered that the Squad Leader binocular had a cone fire setup that resulted in soldiers often being told to attack and destroy the grass right next to the enemy tank :-) Killing an enemy Squad Leader has also made his way into the First Blood level as an objective.
If you haven't seen the December issue of 'News from the front' we have a small Christmas present for you: Download the two new tracks by Jesper Kyd in mp3 here.
There will not be an Intelligence Briefing next week as most of us will be recuperating from the orgy of food that is a traditional Danish Yule, while preparing to set off enough fireworks to to make night into day on New Year's Eve :-)
From all of us here at Reto-Moto, it has been a pleasure to work so close to a so dedicated community for all of 2012 and we hope that you will continue to help us make the game YOU want to play in 2013 :-)
Intelligence Bulletin Vol 2 * No 42
Icons done! Update from Perforce! Bugs fixed! Feature locked and committed! There is a LOT going on here at Reto HQ as we are working as fast as we can to get the features for the Guderian build done. But we also managed to get a videolog detailing the Felber build done. And so much faster than the last one. :-) If you haven't already please notice the new music from our tame Beethoven – Jesper Kyd.
The community is really showing just how awesome they are. This week we have a fan-trailer made by K120 & a detailed account by Fontan of his visit to HQ. There is also a lot of progress getting done on both the Squad Leader feature and "First Blood" and we have been doing some quick iterations on how the user interface should look and work, both for the squad leader and for the squad members being led. We want to create a system where it is easy for a new player to have a fun experience by following the orders and guidelines from more experienced players. You can still do what you want, but you don't have to worry about what to attack or where to spawn if you don't feel like it.
MAJOR EMERGENCY! On Thursday right before lunch we ran out of sugar for our tea and coffee.
Nobody felt like venturing outside to the supermarket 300m away and buy some so we decided to stick with icing sugar until we had new groceries delivered. After noticing that my tea had a slightly odd consistency I noticed that icing sugar contains 20% potato starch…..

Is Facebook To Blame For Your Divorce? (VIDEO)Danielle Smith
Ok, I get it. When your marriage doesn't work out, you want to blame someone, something, maybe ANYTHING. But Facebook? Really?
Well, apparently so. Increasingly so.
So says a recent survey in the UK done by a website called Divorce Online. Not only do many couples cite Facebook as one of the primary reasons for their divorce, the number of couples calling it quits and blaming the beheometh social networking cite is increasing each year.
Private messaging. Spouses are using the site to spy on each other. They are looking up High School flings….. but apparently none of these marriages would fall apart without the aid of Facebook.
I'm not buying it. What say you?

Hello again! It's time once more to take a trip into the dark recesses of my sexual past and tell a story that may or may not make me want to die of embarrassment, for closure and for lols. This is something I've literally never thought to write about until now, but nigh a decade has elapsed since it happened, so I'm starting to think it's more funny than mortifying. Also, if it were going to pop up on the internet, I'm pretty sure it would have by now. Although I might be tempting fate by writing this post.
Are you eating? Good. Nothing goes with a sex tape story like a nice breakfast sandwich. Perhaps a Coffee Coolatta, too. Do they still make those? The last time I got one, I locked myself out of my car and had to watch it melt into warm coffee water while I waited for AAA to come. Warm coffee water is not good to drink. Do I know from experience? Yes. Am I stalling? Yes.
Let us travel back in time to a long ago year called 2003, and a far away place called Connecticut. I had just started having sexual intercourse and was very excited about the different things that could be done with it. I was having it with someone I'll call Jim, a ridiculously hot and good hearted loser whose primary functions were to smoke pot with me, shoplift electronics for me, go see bands with me, and take my virginity so I didn't feel like a freak when I got to college. Okay, so those were his only functions. But he fulfilled them well.
I was 18 when I deflowered myself via Jim (do you see what I did there?), which I know now to be a fairly normal age, but which to me at the time felt terribly old. I was thrilled to finally be checking out this thing called "sex," and overnight, my vagina became a magical vessel from which all manner of delights could be produced. Sex was awesome! I wanted to try everything there was to be tried, and I was a vain young woman with an interest in pornography. Which, naturally, led me to want to try my own hand at porno-making.
On the big day, I went over to Jim's house and got all dolled up for the shoot. Actually, it was his parent's house—he was 23 and still making love in his childhood bedroom—but we don't have to talk about that. For a cinematographer, we enlisted a friend of his, a small and giggly stoner girl whom everyone called Fuck. This created some confusion when trying to direct the camera. Which I'm pretty sure belonged to his dad.
For a soundtrack, we selected Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By by Lovage, a short lived Mike Patton side project. (Jim was very into '90s alt-rock; I'd lost my virginity a couple months earlier to some regrettable cuts from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and he had a Foo Fighters tattoo on his back.) It might not have been the coolest choice, but looking back it was just goofy enough to be appropriate.

Microsoft kicked off a HTML5 mobile browser war on Wednesday after demonstrating its Internet Explorer 9 mobile for Windows Phone.
Joe Belfiore, Director of the Windows Phone program, demonstrated Internet Explorer 9 mobile against Apple's iPhone 4 and Google's Samsung Nexus S devices at the MIX11 developer conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Belfiore used a HTML5 speed reading demo from Microsoft's own ietestdrive.com site. The demo ran at around 20 FPS on Windows Phone "Mango" and 11 FPS on the Android Nexus S device. Despite having a five second head start, the iPhone 4 crawled along at 2 FPS and failed to finish in time. Google's Android device finished in second place behind Windows Phone's Internet Explorer 9.
Microsoft's demonstration will put pressure on both Apple and Google to respond. Internet Explorer 9 mobile will be identical to Microsoft's desktop browser according to the company and will allow Windows Phone to take advantage of the latest advances in web technologies, including HTML5. Microsoft will also ship a Silverlight runtime inside of IE9 mobile. Microsoft originally unveiled Internet Explorer 9 mobile at Mobile World Congress in February and plans to ship it as part of its "Mango" Windows Phone platform update later this year.

College Hockey:Lakers Continue To Improve Through CHA Schedule
Marchese Nets Two Goals in Win Over WSU
ERIE, Pa. — In the Mercyhurst locker room you can't help but see the sign above the door exiting the rink that says, "I got better today." The Lakers have made that their goal since the first day they arrived on campus.
Mercyhurst (25-6-2, 10-0-1 CHA) took that goal to a new level today by clobbering conference foe Wayne State (13-15-3, 6-5-0) from start to finish in a 5-0 win at the Mercyhurst Ice Center.
The Lakers needed just over 10 minutes to score their first goal when Senior Sara McDonald, coming off a three week hiatus from a knee injury, scored on a pass across the crease by Chrissy Yule. McDonald was left alone along the crease and poked the puck into an empty net.
McDonald was happy to get back on the ice and contribute.
"It was hard to sit out those four games. I had so much energy and passion to play again," she said.
The second period was reminiscent of the Lakers' early-season play when hard work often didn't pay off. Mercyhurst outshot Wayne State 14-3 for the period but didn't manage to get one past Warrior goalie Valery Turcotte until the period's final 23 seconds. On the critical second Laker goal, Mercyhurst leading scorer Teresa Marchese skated in on Turcotte from the blue line and just managed to push the puck past the goaltender as she tried to play it rather than cover up.
Wayne State coach Jim Fetter thought the second goal was the difference since his team never regained any momentum the rest of the way.
Fetter said, "The second goalit was just a backbreaker. I think our goalie should have had it but she tried to poke it away and it went right through her legs. It put our girls down, and I don't think we have a whole lot of confidence when we play Mercyhurst. We haven't had a lot of success against them and that goal put us on our heels."
The Lakers took advantage of the momentum and scored three goals in the third period. Marchese scored at 2:33 when she and sophomore Sarah Kurth broke in on a 2-on-1. The Warrior defender bit on a deke by Marchese and was left alone and slapped one top shelf over Turcotte's left shoulder.
Sophomore Julia Colizza scored her seventh goal of the season when she scored an unassisted goal at 8:48 of the period. Senior Lindsay Dellow finished off the scoring at 9:04 with help from junior Samantha Shirley. The Lakers outshot the Warriors in the third period 19-2 and 40-11 in the game.
Laker goalie Laura Hosier, who has been splitting time with Patty Kazmaier finalist Desi Clark throughout the season, earned the shutout in net. The tandem has been unbeatable as of late. Hosier has enjoyed playing with Clark and the experience has been positive.
"Desi is great. I have had a lot of goaltending partners and it has mostly been just competitive and not so much friends. Desi is nothing like that. She has been very supportive. We really work well together and it has been great," Hosier said.
Fetter was disappointed with his team's play and hopes to see a better effort in the future.
Fetter said, "I think we packed it in in the third period. I don't think we played with any heart or emotion. I told them they better show up and compete. We are going into the playoffs next week and we need a better performance that that."
Wayne State captain Kelly Zamora is going to do her best not to disappoint her coach. She plans on refocusing her teammates for tomorrow's rematch.
"I am going to make sure everyone gets positive," Zamora said. "Everyone is pretty down right now but we have to get confident. We will be ready and up for tomorrow."
Mercyhurst coach Mike Sisti thinks his team's on the right track. He hopes to maintain that focus as reaching the NCAA's is a very real possibility.
Sisti said, "The magic of coaching is pushing the right buttons. Having a great staff and great players certainly helps, but the bottom line for us is that we never get distracted from our No. 1 goal, get better every day. Wins are nice but our prime goal as coaches is to make sure the team gets better every day and our staff has done that."
Mercyhurst got better today and Wayne State hopes to get better by tomorrow as the rematch is set for 2:05.

Virtuozzo File System (VZFS)
VZFS is a file system that allows to share common files among multiple VPS Hostings without sacrificing flexibility. It is possible for VPS Hosting users to modify, update, replace, and delete shared files. When a user modifies a shared file, VZFS creates a private copy of the file transparently for the user. Thus, the modifications do not affect the other users of the file. Main benefits of VZFS are the following:
1) It saves memory required for executables and libraries. A typical VPS Hosting running a simple web website hosting might consume around 20–30 MBytes of RAM just for executable images. Sharing this
memory improves scalability and total system performance;
2) It saves disk space. A typical Linux server installation occupies several hundred MBytes of disk space. Sharing the files allows you to save up to 90% of disk space;
3) VZFS does not require having different physical partitions for different VPS Hostings or creating a special "file system in a file" setup for a VPS Hosting. This significantly simplifies disk administration;
4) Disk quota enables the administrator to limit disk resources available to a VPS Hosting on-the-fly, in the same manner as the standard disk quota system works on a per-user basis. Disk quota for users and groups inside VPS Hostings is also supported.
Best Regards,

Oftentimes, we'll be forced to travel during some of winter's harshest and most extreme conditions, and unfortunately, sometimes, our cars cannot withstand the extreme cold or snow. So the National Weather Service, along with the Illinois State Police, offer these tips to make sure that your car is ready to face the challenges that winter will pose.
The following, courtesy of the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Chicago/Romeoville...
"Has your car, van, or pickup had a checkup lately? The Illinois State Police remind you that winter is on the way. Now's the time to make sure your car can survive the coming winter weather extremes. Check the tires, brakes, and battery, along with the heating and defrosting system. Change the anti-freeze, if needed, to protect your car's engine and radiator from freezing up in the cold temperatures that will be with us this winter.
Here's a winter driving tip from the Illinois state police. When a winter storm arrives, with all its ice, wind, and blinding snow, here's an important question to ask yourself before braving a drive through the winter storm. Ask if the need to make the trip is a matter of life or death. If the answer is no, don't go! Remember, a blizzard or dangerous winter storm can cause the trip itself to become a life threatening situation."

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA9) -- A Bowie man has been convicted of sexually abusing a boy in his neighborhood.
Fifty-two-year-old Michael Brochu was convicted Friday of three counts of third degree sex offense, one count of child sex abuse, one count of second-degree sex offense, and one count of unnatural and perverted practices.
Friday's conviction is his second relating to abuse of young boys. Brochu was indicted in August 2012 after a victim claimed abuse occurred in 2011 and 2012 at Brochu's home and a community pool. Brochu was convicted in that case earlier this year and sentenced to 41 years in prison. Authorities say this victim claimed that the abuse took place at Brochu's home and at a racetrack in Bowie.
Brochu is scheduled to be sentenced on November 1.
Authorities say Brochu still has one more pending case on similar charges with another alleged victim. The case is set to begin in November.

Types of Multiple SclerosisSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Generally, multiple sclerosis (MS) follows one of four courses:
- Relapsing-remitting, where you have alternating periods of active disease when symptoms flare up and periods when symptoms fade. This cycle can occur for many years. The disease does not advance during the remissions.
- Secondary progressive, where you first have a relapsing-remitting course and then symptoms become steadily progressive, with ongoing damage to the central nervous system. Symptoms usually get worse as the disease progresses.
- Primary progressive is where the disease is progressive from the start, although damage to the central nervous system occurs at different rates in different people. This course of MS is not very common.
- Progressive relapsing, which is a rare course of MS that causes steady damage when symptoms first appear and where the symptoms are progressive at first and are relapsing later.

Nine days into the start of Minnesota's election contest, the three judge panel issued its first major ruling. Asked to settle the heated issue of the improperly rejected absentee ballots, the court handed both camps a partial victory - a development that keeps the situation just as confusing as it has been for the past three months!
As you will remember, Norm Coleman was left trailing Al Franken by 225 votes at the beginning of January. At first, Coleman raised three major issues that he hoped would carry him to victory: (1) that an envelope of 133 ballots that has gone missing in Minneapolis should not be included in the final court; (2) that as many as 150 ballots from Democratic areas had been double-counted; (3) and that 654 absentee ballots from Republican areas had been improperly rejected.
These were the issues outlined in the election contest Norm Coleman filed in court in early January; his lawsuit did not ask for the inclusion of any rejected absentee ballots other than those 654. However, Franken's 225 vote lead was so substantial that it made Coleman's initial plan fatally flawed: even a favorable ruling on all of these issues would not have been enough for Coleman to close the gap!
What Coleman needed, Republicans soon realized, was to expand the universe of valid votes.
The solution to this problem could only be absentee ballots. County officials across the state had rejected a total of 11,000, so why only insist that 654 of those should be tallied? Coleman soon found himself insisting that all 11,000 rejected absentee ballots should be reconsidered and he advocated for the state to choose a very liberal standard in determining whether an absentee ballot is valid.
The Franken camp unsurprisingly protested, and the three judge panel was asked to settle the issue over what the Coleman camp was allowed to ask for during the trial: Can he only bring up the 654 ballots that were mentioned in the lawsuit he filed in early January? Or is he allowed to plead for the inclusion of all 12,000 rejected absentee ballots - even those that the GOP suddenly realized existed weeks after filing its lawsuit?
In an inconclusive move that is characteristic of everything that has happened in the Minnesota recount, the court ruled today to allow Coleman to challenge somewhere around 4,800 ballots - far less than what Coleman wanted (11,000) and far more than what Franken wanted (654). (The court arrived at such a middle-point by allowing the consideration of those absentee ballots about which the Franken camp had been briefed by the Coleman camp by January 22nd.)
All of this sounds complicated, but what it means is fairly simple.
The court's ruling does not say that any of these currently uncounted 4,800 ballots will end up being tallied, but it makes it possible that they will. In other words, Republicans have succeeded in dramatically expanding the number of absentee ballots whose rejection will be reconsidered; they have expanded the universe of contestable votes to a number that is big enough to cast doubt on Al Franken's victory - and this is something Coleman desperately needed to accomplish.
The ruling comes with major caveats that I discuss below, but it also gives Coleman a fighting chance and keeps the possibility of a comeback alive. Had the court thrown out all rejected absentee ballots but the initial 654, there would not have been enough ballots for Coleman to close the gap - and it would have become virtually impossible for the Republican to win this election contest.
Now, on to the caveats that were important enough for this day to be a partial victory for Franken as well.
Caveat #1
The court did throw out the more than half of the 11,000 rejected absentee ballots Coleman wanted to see include - and this is a major development. Those numbers might sound huge compared to Franken's 225 vote gap, but no more than a small portion of these ballots will be counted; after all, county officials have gone over those absentee ballots two or three time and have verified at least once that all were properly rejected. For Coleman to gain 225 votes will thus not be easy, and it remains to be seen whether an expansion by 4,800 ballots will be enough.
Caveat #2
The court did not rule that these 4,800 rejected absentee ballots should be counted; only that the Coleman camp is allowed to argue that they should be counted.
The court specifically dismissed Coleman's contention that the need for a uniform standard (based on Bush v. Gore) would require thousands of rejected ballots to be quickly included - as long as the vote was not deemed fraudulent and the voter had made efforts to comply with state law. Had Coleman convinced the judges on that count, it would have led to the automatic count of thousands of previously untallied ballots - and that would have been more than enough to endanger Franken's 225 vote lead.
Instead, the court is throwing the burden of proof on Coleman by asking them to introduce evidence that these ballots were improperly rejected. (In other words, the ruling should not be taken as a sign that the judges are preparing to open the floodgates to thousands of new ballots - quite the contrary: the fact that those ballots were rejected repeatedly by county officials does suggest that it will not be easy for the Coleman camp to prove they should be accepted.)
Thus, Coleman's lawyers will now have to prove that ballots were improperly rejected on a one-by-one basis - a review that is sure to take agonizingly long.

Hu's coming to dinner
China | Bill Gates and China's president dine & deal
SEATTLE - Moments after touching down on his first official U.S. visit on April 18, Chinese president Hu Jintao exited the private airstrip of Boeing's Paine Field to face a wall of colorful protest banners. Similar displays haunted the Communist Party leader throughout his two-day stay in the Pacific Northwest as Tibetan and Taiwanese groups demanded independence and Falun Gong meditation practitioners decried obscene persecution-alleging Chinese concentration camps where organs are harvested from live prisoners for sale on the black market.
But the arrival of Mr. Hu's substantial motorcade at the façade of his downtown hotel elicited a welcoming chorus of love and support from a sea of Chinese Americans lining the police-barricaded street. Washington state governor Christine Gregoire lowered her tinted window to wave and smile at a crowd holding scores of Chinese and American flags.
Rally organizer Jay Na, 44, stood near a gap in the metal barricades, checking specially issued photo-ID passes to make sure no protesters or passersby mingled among Mr. Hu's supporters. Welcoming committees throughout the city were similarly orchestrated, designed to drown out angry shouts and demonstrations. "The majority of the people are here to welcome President Hu Jintao," Mr. Na half hollered over a racket of drum beats and megaphone chants. "China is fast developing into a world power, and we are very proud."
At its current rate of growth, China is expected to surpass the United States as the world's largest economy in roughly 30 years. That Mr. Hu scheduled two of his four stateside days in Seattle, complete with a tour of Boeing and dinner at the home of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, indicates his top priority: promoting international business development despite China's sketchy record on human rights.
That agenda moved forward when Microsoft announced a $1.2 billion deal with China's largest computer maker to pre-install the Windows operating system on every machine, a move meant to crack down on software piracy. The week prior to Mr. Hu's visit, Boeing announced a $5 billion Chinese contract to build 80 737s.
Despite such transactions, the U.S. trade deficit with China remains at critical levels, with U.S. exports in 2005 totaling less than $50 billion and imports topping out close to $250 billion. Mr. Hu's visit was largely aimed at alleviating apprehension over such figures, presenting China as a land of business opportunity rather than a threat to competing nations.
U.S. officials remain concerned, however, that China cares only to become an economic superpower without taking seriously the accompanying international responsibilities-such as placing diplomatic pressure on Iran to abandon its suspected nuclear weapons program.
Church persecution in China also remains a concern. A recent report, complete with photos and interviews, describes rampant arrests and physical abuse of Chinese Christians for holding unauthorized religious meetings. Zhao Yan, 23, recounts being slapped, kicked, and burned with a cigarette following her arrest last August for participating in a Bible study. China Aid Association president Bob Fu, the report's primary author, called such documented cases merely the tip of the iceberg, a narrow window into atrocities that occur on a regular basis.
But Christian protesters were nowhere to be found on the streets of Seattle, deferring to more diplomatic channels of influence-namely through Mr. Hu's meeting with President George W. Bush. Joe K. Grieboski, president of the Institute of Religion and Public Policy, considers such an upstream approach more effective than picketing: "I mean no disrespect to President Hu when I say that I really don't think he cares what Falun Gong protesters and activists think when he's driving to dinner at Bill Gates' $100 million house."
Mr. Grieboski, who supports developing business in China as a means to furthering Western ideals within the once isolationist country, views the next several months as important in determining whether Mr. Hu's U.S. visit will inspire any real change on human-rights issues. Tsewang Rigzin, a 35-year-old bank manager and Tibetan independence activist who lives in Washington state, maintained optimism that his sidewalk chants would trigger an impact: "I want to die in a free Tibet, and I will make sure that happens. People have the power to make changes."

PRIDE fights are for the whole, more exciting than UFC fights,because the ring forces them to fight.
The restarts? big deal, it takes 5 seconds to put the fighters to the middle of the ring.
The ring is dangerous? I always thought that claim was bull****,how many fighters have fallen out the ring and injured themselves that they can't continue to fight? few,if any
A fighting arena should be uniform and safe, the cage is neither. The biggest fighter in the sport, in the biggest fight in the sport, fell through the ropes in a fairly high paced point in the fight and was lucky not to have been a few more inches out or Fedor vs CroCop would have ended as a big dissapointment.
Ropes encourage fighters who are being GnP'd to duck under the ropes and get a restart, taking away from the advantage gained by the offensive party. Groundfighting is just not ment for a ring, look at Ebenezer Fontes Braga triangling Brandon Lee Hinkle using the ropes as part of the choke, or the ref dragging an unconscious Sakuraba back in through the ropes against Smirnovas giving him extra time for him to set up his amazing comeback, but also setting him up for further brain damage. Fedor vs Lindland was another fight that showed the ring as being a pain in the ass.
You can grab both a cage and a rope (although you can get your whole hand around a rope), but you cant duck under a cage, and you can't fall through a cage, assuming the idiot in charge of securing the door does his job. (Southworth vs Irvin)
The cage is a more pure form of MMA than the ring
, which forces frequent interference of a third party, which stops momentum and just flat out looks stupid.

Diane Bannerman donated money at the Mid-Michigan American Red Cross. She says her friend's son lives in Biloxi, Mississippi and they have not heard from him since the hurricane.
As Bannerman waits for word, she and others with no personal connection to the Gulf Coast feel compelled to do what they can. Sarah Clevenger of the Mid-Michigan Red Cross says monetary donations are the best way to help. Their national goal is to raise $130 million; that's the same amount that was needed for the four hurricanes in Florida last year.
Volunteers are also needed. A training course will be held this Saturday. Disaster relief volunteers will need to take this half-day course, complete some other administrative paperwork and be able to make a three-week commitment. Clevenger says the work is not easy.
If you'd like more information, or to make a donation, the Red Cross asks that you call your local chapter at 517-484-7461. Or you can log onto www.midmichiganredcross.org to donate online.

Turning Your Front Room Into Your Office
I had the pleasure of meeting former Hearts star Rudi Skacel in Edinburgh last week. The man who has played in and scored for two Hearts Scottish Cup winning sides was spending a long weekend in Scotland's capital city and he was accompanied by his partner Eva.
Eva is keen to write a book about the great man and, knowing I had written a couple of books (still available in all good bookshops etc) she sought my advice on such matters. Years ago, before the internet, getting such a venture off the ground would have been fraught with problems. However, communication is now better than ever and with things such as Skype and webcams the world has become a much smaller place.
She spoke about self-publishing and there is no doubt this is far easier now than in days of yore. You can even turn your front room into an office and publish your work from there. And if you class it as a business there are no shortage of communication companies lining up to offer you special deals. Companies such as talktalk business broadband offer special rates for businesses - even for small would be self-publishers such as Eva.
I can imagine a book about Rudi would sell thousands in Edinburgh. He will always be a hero to the thousands of Hearts fans who continue to worship him even though it's been over a year since he left Tynecastle.
I wish Eva and Rudi the best of success with their venture.

January 27, 2012: The symbiotic variable RT Cru has brightened in hard x-rays. Dr. Jeno Sokoloski [1], Columbia University, has requested AAVSO assistance in monitoring RT Cru both now and in the future to see if it is doing anything unusual in the optical. The Swift/BAT hard X-ray light curve shows RT Cru has apparently been gradually brightening over the past few years.
Dr. Sokoloski writes: "The hard X-ray emission from RT Cru suggests that the accreting white dwarf is close to the Chandrasekhar limit (e.g., Luna and Sokoloski 2007 [2], "The Nature of the Hard X-Ray-Emitting Symbiotic Star RT Cru") and that it is therefore a candidate supernova Type-Ia progenitor. Also, since it is a massive white dwarf accreting at a reasonably high rate, it is similar to T CrB - so why isn't it a recurrent nova??
"Fast photometry (to look for CV-like flickering from the accretion disk) and optical spectroscopy would also be very interesting and could potentially help us interpret the current hard X-ray brightening."
Dr. Sokoloski requests time series photometry now for a few days, and then weekly or monthly observations for the forseeable future. Visual observations are also welcome. At magnitude B=10.7 and R=11.100 it is too faint for BVRI photoelectric photometry, but at magnitude J=6.646 and H=5.583 it may be a suitable target for near-IR photometrists.

You might try checking at a Joann or Hancock fabric store. They tend to have the ISU and UI ones, if anywhere has the ones you are looking for, it would be them.

James Kennedy's debut young adult novel The Order of Odd-Fish is an extraordinary and delightfully weird romp that's one part China Mieville, one part Lemony Snicket, with trace amounts of Madeline L'Engle and Roald Dahl.
Young Jo Larouche lives in a flyspeck town with her "aunt," a golden-age film star named Lily Larouche who disappeared for 40 years (along with her sprawling home) before reappearing in the middle of the desert with the baby Jo and no memory of the intervening years. All that Jo knows about her origin is that she was found in her aunt's clothes-dryer with a note warning that she was a "dangerous baby."
Jo's life is weird enough, but it gets a lot weirder fast when one of her aunt's legendary parties is crashed by Colonel Koraskov and his talking cockroach butler Savino, who save her from a near-assassination by Ken Kiang, a billionaire who's devoted his life to finding meaning by being evil. As they flee from Kiang, they find themselves eaten by an enormous fish that has also swallowed the lodge house of a mysterious order of knights called the "Order of Odd-Fish." They are vomited — along with the lodge-house — on the shores of Eldritch City in the middle of a festival and are welcomed back as Lily, Korsakov and Savino's memories return.
And that's when things get really weird.
Kennedy has filled 400+ pages with a series of strange turn-ups and adventures that grow progressively more outlandish and funny, such that when you think he's surely run out of runway and must crash, he finds new, unsuspected weirdness to explore. This is what Harry Potter would be if its magic world was truly wondrous and magnificent, as opposed to plain reality with broomsticks and funny robes. Kennedy's magic children fight duels to the death on flying ostrichs, dressed as avatars of dead gods, wielding flame-spurting lances and reciting ritual poetic insults for the delight of toothless omnisexual crime-bosses. If that sounds like your cup of tea (it certainly is mine!) then this is a book for you.
An epic novel of exotic pie, Götterdämmerung, mutants, evil, crime, and musical theater, Odd-Fish is a truly odd fish, as mannered and crazy as an eel in a tuxedo dropped down your trousers during a performance of The Ring Cycle.

A friend of mine stumbled across that link. Seems KHS isn't letting the grass grow under their feet!
The new hinge resembles something Dahon would do - parallelogram-ish or forward locking at least.
I can't quite make it out in the photos but it almost seems like they've gone with another Dahon-ish idea: a tapered, telescoping handle-bar stem.
BTW: if you like KHS folders, "Santa Fe Bikes" may be able to hook you up! "wpflem" on BikeForums represent SFBikes and their website is: http://sfbikes.com/ (I have no affiliation BTW)

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
What the "lien" is now really is a filed judgment against you in the county. If the creditor was named in the bankruptcy, they must provide a satisfaction of judgment for you and file it in the county clerk's office. If it was not listed as a creditor in the bankruptcy, it has to be paid in full with interest if applicable prior to your closing on the new house, or the title company is going to hold off the closing.
so this lien stays in effect until satisfied even though it's been so long ago? if the closing goes through without the lien being satisfied, can they place a lien on my new home?
A judgment becomes a lien on any property that you own in the county. A judgment lasts for 10 years and can be renewed for another 10 years. I would be surprised if this does not show up at the closing.
i've been working on this house deal for a year now (short sale) and nothing has come up yet so if the closing does go through, can they place a lien on my home?
in fact, the clerk's office recently disbursed surplus funds from the sale of the house to my ex-husband and i. i would think those funds shouldn't have been released with the lien in place(?)
You are correct. This claim of lien is not appearing on the public records or the title company would have paid it off from the proceeds. The foreclosure may have wiped out the lein or it may have been paid by the bank after the foreclosure was filed. I don't know why this is the case but I believe if it was not picked up at the last closing it will not be picked up at the next one. If it is truly just a lien and not a judgment it will not attach to your new home.
i don't see a copy of any judgment but i do see a copy of the claim of lien on the offficial records county clerk's website. should i contact the county clerk's office first to find out if the lien has been satisfied, or the attorney that filed the lien?
No. If the lien is filed against the old residence, you are home free. If it is not a judgment filed against your name in the county, you are home free.
You are great! Thank you so much for your help!

THIS is apropos of the news report 'Sesame Street team shares skills in Lahore' (May 18). When learning becomes fun, it is rewarding and purposeful. The role of internationally- acclaimed 'Sesame Street', an American children television serial, in educating children through puppetry in an interesting manner is commendable.
While we witness the obvious dearth of educational and informative programmes for children, such positive steps are praiseworthy. There is a desperate need for entertainment catering to children which suits their age and mentality.
Since children, being impressionable, usually learn more and better through pictorial representation as compared to verbal representation, such healthy programmes through puppetry will save them from being exposed to violent movies and cartoons and educate them in a proper manner with fun and pleasure. They also help them improve their cognitive skills and enhance their learning skills.
Our private media should also highlight such programmes to educate children in the country.

"The TCN4 is a well-balanced and capable SMG."— In-game description
The TCN4 SMG is the initial primary weapon for the Technician class. It fires a fully automatic stream of straight-firing projectiles with moderate damage falloff at range. The TCN4 is one of many primary automatic weapons in the game, and in terms of damage per second, is one of the most powerful available.
- Upgrade 1: +56 ammo (302 total)
- Upgrade 2: +4 Magazine size (32 total)
- Upgrade 3: +56 ammo (368 total)
- Upgrade 4: -15% reload time
- The TCN4's high rate of fire and high damage output coupled with its large magazine size make for one of the game's most powerful SMG weapons, only surpassed by the NJ5-B SMG in raw damage output and matched by the NJ4 SMG, at a rate of 80 damage per round (fire rates and DPS vary). However, the TCN4's role as a primary weapon lands it as the most powerful primary SMG.
- The TCN4, like all other automatic weapons, requires the user to lead moving targets, as it is a projectile bullet weapon rather than a hitscan weapon.

The Glass House Recap: You Win Some, You Lose Some
August 20, 2012 09:03 PM by Shayla Perry
It all comes down to this! After weeks of hangovers, hookups, and tears (mostly from Jeffrey), it's down to the final five contestants on ABC's The Glass House — Kevin, Erica, Mike, Andrea, and Jeffrey — and the popularity contest comes to an end. Which housemate walked away with the $250,000 prize? And does Erica leave the house with at least a little bit of diginity? All the highlights of the season finale, after the jump.
Tonight on the season finale of The Glass House….
While enjoying her in-house limbo, Jeffrey pulls his on-again off-again BFF, Erica, aside to ask her if she knows about Kevin's main squeeze who he's apparently been dating for a measly five years.
Erica acts like it's not a big deal. Besides, in her mind, she's already moving to Toledo.
So, the plan? Mike, Kevin, and Andrea are going to let Erica self-destruct, practically setting her up to get drunk so she makes a fool of herself and gets voted off.
And she falls for it in 3…2…..
Suddenly, Erica's in tears, professing her love for Kevin as he tries to explain to her that he's on a game show and there to win money. Period.
Later, Erica chats with Andrea and tells her just how she feels about her. Something about a "coniving little snake in a peasant dress." For the record, we've never seen Andrea wearing a dress — peasant or otherwise — all season long. But, maybe Erica saw it around the same time she heard Kevin tell her that they were going to get married and have 3.5 kids.
In her tightest, reddest dress, Erica then pulls Kevin aside and says that she thinks he's telling everyone else one thing and her another.
After a disappointing "roast," Erica and Mike finally learn their fate, and it's Mike who (again) is leaving the game. Soooo close.
But, there are still three more people who need to go.
A challenge determines who is automatically going into the final three. It's every man or woman for themselves (and Jeffrey versus that darned harness again).
Andrea is uber confident, and rightly so. Jeffrey beats her to the buzzer, but he has two puzzle pieces out of place.
As Andrea is worry-free for at least one night, Jeffrey, Kevin, and Erica have to wait to find out which of them the viewers want to move forward.
Erica is shocked to find out that she's safe and Kevin and Jeffrey are headed to limbo. Not surprisingly, Kevin wins that battle, leaving the final three to enjoy a fancy dinner together…and for Erica to drink some more.
THEN, the best moment: they find out that they've been under surveillance for more time than they thought and actually watch footage of Kevin trashing Erica…and subsequently telling her that he has feelings for her. (So she WAS right!)
Suddenly, Erica's not lovin' her man so much. But how do the viewers feel?
They quickly find out when they're greeted by an audience consisting of all of their family and some of the former housemates.
Each contestant makes a pageant-like final plea before casting their last stones (which aren't really stones and don't matter at all). The face left intact is the winner…Kevin!

It was absolutely stupid. And, I felt sorry for Erica-even though she made a total fool of herself, what with drinking constantly, getting drunk, and then catching the dreaded "drunk diarrhea mouth". It will be painful for her to go back and watch herself if her family taped it…
Kevin-what a jerk. At least GH outed him and his two faced comments.
