BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — When 25-year-old Megan Elmore was 20 weeks pregnant with her second child, she underwent a routine ultrasound in the office of her Bloomington obstetrician/gynecologist.
"Her head measurement was way off," said Elmore, a single mother from Gosport whose firstborn is a healthy 2-year-old son. "I was very concerned."
Further testing at two Indianapolis hospitals revealed that her baby, Aila, had hydrocephalus — an incurable condition that causes excessive fluid to collect in the brain, abnormally enlarging the head and placing potentially fatal pressure on brain tissues. The disorder affects about 1 in every 500 births.
When Aila was born four months ago, her head circumference was 46 centimeters, about 11 centimeters larger than normal for a full-term newborn. At the Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health, doctors placed a shunt into her skull just above her temple to drain fluid from her brain into a tube that empties into her abdomen.
But the shunt does not drain all the excess fluid because Aila is missing most of her cerebral cortex, a sheet of neural tissue in the brain that plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language and consciousness.
"If they drained all the fluid, her brain would collapse and she would probably die," Elmore told The Herald-Times (http://bit.ly/XQB5wv ). "So the shunt is used to keep her fluid level stable and prevent the pressure on her brain from becoming dangerous. She will need the shunt for the rest of her life."
Elmore said it's too early to know the long-term effects of Aila's condition, which can cause such things as learning disabilities, memory problems, motor skill disabilities, seizures and hearing or vision problems.
"The doctors can't say whether she will be able to walk or talk," she said. "But so far, she is eating and breathing on her own. My hope is that she will be able to have a life as full and productive as humanly possible."
During her pregnancy with Aila and after her daughter's birth, Elmore received a wealth of support from not only from her mother and other family members, but also from the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation, a nonprofit organization with 30 state chapters that funds research and provides support to families, friends and children affected by the disorder.
"The foundation helped me know what questions to ask the doctors," Elmore said. "There are times when I got overwhelmed, and the people at the foundation calmed me down and explained things to me or told me where I could find the information I wanted."
So when Elmore learned the director of the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation's Indiana chapter had stepped down, she volunteered to fill the position.
"I didn't want any family to face hydrocephalus alone," said Elmore, who answers to a board of directors. "I wanted to make sure the state chapter would be there so they could get the same kind of help and support that I received."
Since assuming the directorship in November, Elmore has placed educational pamphlets about hydrocephalus in pediatricians' offices, made efforts to form family support groups, and put information about the state organization on Facebook.
"I also hope to have two local fundraisers within the next year that will include all the kids and their families," she said.
Elmore was recently delighted to learn that the national Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation has selected Aila and a young boy to be the 2013 faces of the organization. The two infants, along with their stories, will be printed in pamphlets that will be mailed to U.S. congressional representatives and used in other educational outreach efforts.
"The foundation is hoping their story will inspire families to realize that just because your child has hydrocephalus, it doesn't mean your child's life is over," she said.
The Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation raises awareness about the disorder and raises money for research on treatment options and, hopefully, a cure. The foundation also advocates on behalf of members by asking state and federal legislators to push for more research and support in the fight against hydrocephalus.
Since 2010, the foundation has awarded $125,000 in grants and donations to hospitals, neuroscience institutes and medical research centers for research and education.

Police: Woman tried to push car into riverNovember 24,2012
ST. JOHNSBURY Police in St. Johnsbury say a woman has been accused of trying to use her car to push another one into a river.
Police said 21-year-old Sara Foley tried to push the car of another woman into the Passumpsic River early Thursday because the woman was at the house of Foleys former boyfriend.
The Burlington Free Press reported that police said they stopped Foley while she was driving away from the house. They said she registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.158 percent, nearly twice the legal limit.
She was cited for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of the accident.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe Vermont Agency of Transportation has decided to yank a new seat belt safety ad from the...

« Kim Kardashian Bounces Back With A Humanitarian Mission And Some Priceless Jewelry | Home | Teen Mom's Amber Portwood Back In Jail »
December 20, 2011 10:44 AM by Perry Miller
Hugh Hefner is opening up about the drama that surrounded the January 2012 issue of Playboy and troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan. Read on to see what the Playboy magnate has to say about working with Lindsay and being forced to release the issue 10 days early.
Hugh Hefner, the 85 year old Playboy founder and star of E!'s The Girls Next Door, has never been soft spoken about his lifestyle, his wardrobe or his magazine. Playboy has launched the careers of stars like Anna Nicole Smith and Pamela Anderson and has featured starlets like Kim Kardashian and Jenny McCarthy. So it seems natural to feature the troubled starlet of the moment Lindsay Lohan.
Hugh Hefner admits to being initially skeptical about the prospect of featuring Lindsay Lohan in a nude pictorial, who at the time was in the middle of courtroom drama surrounding her inability to complete probation. She has often exhibited erratic behavior in both her personal life and professional life.
"I wasn't quite sure where she was at in her life, obviously," Hugh Hefner told E! news. "It depends on whether it's Tuesday or Thursday."
The concept of the entire shoot was his idea and based around the very first Playboy shoot, which featured Marilyn Monroe, an idol of Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan and her handler's initially did not want to do a nude shoot, but the group was reassured that the entire shoot would be done in a very classy way. The first round of photos were actually thrown out by Hugh Hefner and the entire spread was re-shot just hours before Lindsay Lohan reported to jail for a 5-hour stint. The end result is a blonde Lindsay Lohan posing before a red velvet back drop in nothing but stilettos.
The buzz around the issue has been so huge that the pictures were leaked on the internet, causing Playboy to release the issue 10 days earlier that expected. "It became a stocking stuffer!" joked Hefner.

I knew hefner back in the 60′s when he started the mag with 5 grand.
His dis-llusions about women were proved accurate when it took just a few $$$ to get babes to drop their drawers, lay on a bearskin rug and prop their asses up for a camera.
Hef was, and still is the nerd of the sixties, a shit-personality and an ego that could not fit in Rosey O'Donald's fat ass.

boboj, Playboy started in the early 50′s (1953), not the 60′s. By the time the 60′s rolled around, it was already well established. I don't think you knew Hefner when he started Playboy.

Date of Stay: July, 2010
Very well kept park that has easy freeway access and nearby gas stations. The staff was extremely friendly. It was nice after a long drive to be able to have a BBQ dinner without leaving. Due to its proximity to the freeway and airport, I'm not sure I'd spend a week here, but it was a good choice for one night.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
We were fortunate to get a spot that backs up to the mountain so we didn't have anyone camped behind us. While we really enjoyed the site, we were unable to use the fire pit as we felt it was too close to the trailer. Voltage to the site always maintained an acceptable level. We used the satellite TV rental option which worked very well. We never had an issue connecting to Wi-Fi. The on site facilities (e.g. store, laundry, bathrooms) were very well maintained. Being tucked away on a dead end country road kept the traffic down and made for an enjoyable bicycle ride. We drove around the lake to check out our other camping options, and after doing so we knew we made the right decision.

The History Of Superior beverage Group
Superior Beverage Group is a family-owned business with roots dating back to 1922 when Marion N. Antonucci formed the Superior Wholesale Grocery Company in Youngstown, Ohio. Shortly after the depression, Marion decided to go into the wholesale beer and wine business and established the Superior Beverage Company. From the late 1940's until 1984, the company prospered under the leadership of Marion's son, John (Jack) R. Antonucci.
In 1984, Jack was recognized by Time Magazine with the "Distinguished Beverage Wholesaler Award". Jack presently serves as Chairman Emeritus and is retired, living in Florida.
Since that time, Superior Beverage Group has been guided through an aggressive period of growth and consolidation by current Chairman, John M. Antonucci, representing the third generation of leadership. During the past 25 years, the company has expanded from its Youngstown roots into several new markets including: Akron, Steubenville, Canton, Lorain, Columbus and Cleveland. Each subsequent venture has provided comprehensive market insight and product knowledge, as well as valuable transition experience, contributing to a more capable organization.
Looking ahead, Superior Beverage Group will continue to grow its core business by employing the same fundamental values established in 1922. With a family-based succession plan already in place, Superior Beverage has taken steps to ensure that its vision, heritage and passion are a part of daily operations for the next 90 years.

text: Facebook teaches kids how to handle online bullying Technology 21 May 14 by Liat Clark Facebook has today launched its UK Bullying Prevention Centre and a set of reporting tools designed to empower teenagers that might be embarrassed, upset or threatened by content posted on the social network.Arturo Bejar, Engineer Director for Facebook's compassion research team, has been working on the system for a couple years, with a preliminary launch in the US carried out last year. He tells Wired.co.uk the result of that implementation has been a tripling of the number of people that use Facebook's reporting tools to send friends messages asking them to take content down, or at least begin a dialogue about it. Essentially, it's been a huge success.Social network etiquetteFor the past year there has been mounting pressure on social networks to take responsibility not only for the content circulated on their services, but the complex relationships that take place within them. The argument was bought to the fore earlier this year during the inquest into the death of Tallulah Wilson, a 15-year-old who committed suicide after using Tumblr to search for and discuss suicide and self harm. At a debate held earlier this year, Shadow Minister for Culture, Media and Sport Helen Goodman suggested fines be implemented to force internet companies to react to reports faster, and legislation be introduced to back this up. Industry has pushed back against this, as was expected, and today Facebook is proving its case for why education not legislation is the path to a safer digital environment for children."My hope is in the future more parents work actively with their kids to give them the emotional tools to navigate the things that end up happening," Bejar told Wired.co.uk. "But in the meantime I think it's very important for us to provide the best set of tools we can." Don't miss This debate just claimed Facebook doesn't need child protection legislation The "social resolution tools" are basically an improved version of the network's reporting tools. The flow has been lengthened, so it has channels for reporting content that is merely embarrassing or serious instances of bullying. Anything that breaches Facebook's rules will of course be reviewed and taken down, but the idea of the new system is to provide teenagers with the tools to open a dialogue and resolve things in a similar manner to how they might in the real world. Unless an individual is purposefully being bullied, in the real world it would be quite clear if someone did not like how their friend was talking about them. The emotions would likely be on show, and a dialogue would ensue. In other cases, the vulnerable individual might be too embarrassed or afraid to open this dialogue -- with its tools enabling kids to do this with automated messages and simple but supportive instructions ("we're sorry, no one should say mean things, here are some options for how you can resolve it", for example), Facebook could even be filling a gap in the real world that teachers and parents sometimes fail to. If it works.The reporting language has been made more colloquial throughout, and words like "report" have in fact been dropped. "Through the 13-16-year-old focus groups with Yale in the US, there were some early and surprising findings such as they didn't like the word report," explains Bejar. "They worried it would get a friend in trouble. So we used more descriptive language -- 'this post is a problem' or 'I don't want to see this'. The moment we changed that, we tripled the number of people going into the flow and and tripled those doing the report. Originally the button did not serve its purpose as far as making people feel aware they could deal with issues."Digital empowermentThe overhaul of the system began around three years ago, when the reporting team realised its tools were not being used for the right reasons. Images of people hugging were being called hate speech -- one of the limited options Facebook gave, in-line with its terms and conditions, for why content should be taken down. Obviously the network would be rife with content that does not just fall into its banned articles rules -- things such as pornography, violent content and hate speech. They quickly realised those images being incorrectly reported generally involved a photo of the individual making the report, and it tended to have been shared by the user's friend. Only 20 percent of people were using the option to send that friend a message about it. The individual wanted it deleted, but didn't want to deal with the social awkwardness made all the more awkward by the digital wall between them. A survey showed 90 percent of those posting the offending content said their intentions were positive, so there was an obvious mismatch going on.Facebook joined with teams at the Universities of Yale and Berkeley specialising in teenage bullying and conflict resolution, to get to grips with the psychology around these kinds of interactions. The first thing that became apparent was that in the real world, as already mentioned, it's clear when you have caused a friend emotional distress most of the time. It's written all over their face.Bejar and his team began to tweak the language of the reporting tools to see if they could up engagement by channelling those everyday emotions digitally."The first version asked 'how do you feel right now?' and has just adjectives as options: embarrassed, sad etc," said Bejar. "We found 50 percent of people would tap into the other box and write 'it's embarrassing'." It sounds a little bit like the public was correcting Facebook's grammar, but largely it's about personalising the report. "We changed the UI to say 'I don't like this photo because it's embarrassing' and we suddenly got a 78 percent completion of this step.""This was the first clue that reinforced that getting the language right makes a huge difference."Facebook then created a default message, so people would not have to actually think up that awkward conversation starter. They found making it as polite as possible, with phrases like "I would prefer that people don't see this on Facebook would you please take it down", worked best. In fact, the word "please" performed four percent better that "would you mind". The reason, Bejar believes, is because the wording evokes an emotional response in the friend -- and it was this change that resulted in 60 percent rather than 20 percent of people sending messages when reporting. Today, 3.9 million people are now using the tools every week -- and that's just in the US. Now it's being rolled out in the UK and across Europe, that number is sure to rise.Although it was clear the emotion was helping up the numbers, it's interesting to see what worked and what didn't. For instance, "it's a bit sad", was not as appreciated by friends than the word "embarrassing". It makes sense really -- "sad" sounds rather over-the-top if in context of a bad photo, and maybe even accusatory. We can all relate to something being embarrassing, and Facebook found that keeping the language light generally served the dialogue better. From surveys (of around 10-20,000 users), Facebook knows "the reason people take down the content if it's classed as inappropriate is because they don't want trouble; if you say it's embarrassing, it's because they don't want to upset them." They also found that, in general (and if self-reporting is to be believed), those who posted the content in question did so mainly because they thought it would be funny or important to share. Eight percent said they wanted to prove a point, and two percent admitted it was to provoke or alarm. Don't miss Claire Perry: ban phones in schools and turn off the router to protect children Research showed that reactions from recipients was pretty much the same the world over, it's just the nuances in language that needed to be tweaked. This was also true of the categories. For instance hate speech means different things in different countries, and the Facebook team found that in India insulting an actress, politician or sports star would fall into this category, versus the US where homophobia and racism were the more likely issues at play."In the US we got a lot of 'this doesn't have my permission to be posted'," said Bejar, "which is interesting because US is a culture of free speech'". Of course this is the prevalent problem, though, amongst friends on social networks. It might seem a good idea to wear that fishnet body on an 80s hen night (Wired.co.uk denies all knowledge of ever wearing such an item), but the moment it appears online when a friend of a friend posts it, it's not unusual to feel uncomfortable. The new digital etiquette that sites like Facebook have forced us to navigate still feels foreign, and all the more difficult for teens.How to deal with bulliesWhen it comes to genuine bullying, the social network has a very specific new flow, as well as redirects to its Bullying Prevention Centre, developed in collaboration with the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence. It equips users with tools to deal with problems in the real and digital worlds. The flow asks the user what's happening, and then how they feel about it -- then it asks the intensity of the emotion. This all goes to the reporting team which decides how to proceed. But at the consumer end, the user receives a message validating those feelings: "We're sorry, no one should say mean things, here are some options for you to resolve" etc. They found girls were far more likely to attempt a resolution by messaging whoever posted the content, and they tended to use more intense language when it came to emotions."We now have 80 percent completion rate on the flow," said Bejar. "That's higher than for adults."In the UK, the Bullying Prevention Centre was also built in collaboration with partners such as Childnet and the Diana Award. There are sections for parents and teachers, and Facebook is working with schools to get the message out."We want to see a broad conversation round social media and learning and skills," Simon Milner, Facebook's UK director of policy, told Wired.co.uk. "Helping people to develop emotional resilience and working through the problems. We absolutely see these things as linked up and we want teachers to feel empowered to be able to deal with all of those things, so when that moment comes up from a teen they are able to."When we asked if Facebook believes this is the solution to the increasing pressure internet companies have been under to police underage activity online, Milner responded: "People whose children have been through this are rightly concerned and want to see action. People recognise that Facebook is way ahead in terms of the thought and analysis we've done, and the partnerships and resources we provide."Something we're very conscious of is we can't make someone report. We have to try and make it as easy as possible. The worst is where the child is suffering in silence and that's true in the real world and online and therefore we hope that really amplifying and using opportunities at this launch, that children will hear about it and realise they can find help. And other companies will learn from it, we're beginning to see that."Raising self-awareness among teens was always going to be a battle. But the social network's US statistics show promising results. Less optimistic are teenagers' reactions to their friends being targeted. A Facebook survey showed 0.4 percent of friends are likely to use the flow to report a friend being targeted. "We put the link in the middle, at the top, to the right -- it didn't matter. The numbers didn't change at all." So the tools are not claiming to make teenagers nicer people all round -- they are simply helping to facilitate the kinds of interactions we might see in the real world. The system also reinforces the kind of education that should really be present in schools -- digital literacy not simply founded in coding as the new curriculum will instruct this September, but in relationships, privacy and digital rights. Some have argued that allowing internet companies to educate our children is the wrong way to go. But Facebook, with its seemingly limitless resources, has taken the time to work with leading professionals in the field to work out a system that appears to be empowering and liberating, not dictatorial.

As a continuation of the vast Super Bowl Commercial conspiracy to install Obama as exalted Leader, Clint Eastwood showed up at a Romney fundraiser in Sun City, Idaho. This is what he said:
He told the crowd that in the early 2000s, he was making the film 'Mystic River' in Romney's home state of Massachusetts.
"At that time, Gov. Romney was running for governor," Eastwood said. "I said, 'God, this guy is too handsome to be governor, but he does look like he could be president.' As the years have gone by, I'm beginning to think even more so that. He's going to restore a decent tax system that we need badly so that there is a fairness and people are not pitted against one another of whose paying taxes and who isn't."
Great point!
But all I wanted was $7.50 back for having to sit through Mystic River. Never forget.

I looked at quite a few of the related questions and I must be asking this completely different as I saw only a few that seemed to relate. I am loading an entire middle div via JQuery Ajax call and I simply want to be able to do some automatic JQuery on that new area like $(document).ready allows when a DOM is being loaded. I read that livequery would do this, but I figured there would be a way built into it. I am trying to add a date picker to a input field right a the beginning.
This is the content that will call for the content in the backend which will then pull some specific section.
$.post("ReportingWizard",$("#wizard_form").serialize(), function (data) { setData(data); });
function setData(data) {
divElement.innerHTML = data;
$(activeTab).fadeIn(); //Fade in the active content
Inside the file that is being put at that divElement will have a JQuery method that needs to be run to change the html inside it.

A sad day. White Fang must be in mourning. .. You tube has replays of his stuff. Kids from the 60's might remember Soupy.. How could not a comedian who performs under the influence of booze not be funny.
.DETROIT — Soupy Sales, the rubber-faced comedian whose anything-for-a-chuckle career was built on 20,000 pies to the face and 5,000 live TV appearances across a half-century of laughs, has died. He was 83.
Sales died Thursday night at Calvary Hospice in the Bronx, New York, said his former manager and longtime friend, Dave Usher. Sales had many health problems and entered the hospice last week, Usher said.
At the peak of his fame in the 1950s and '60s, Sales was one of the best-known faces in the nation, Usher said.
"If President Eisenhower would have walked down the street, no one would have recognized him as much as Soupy," Usher said.
At the same time, Sales retained an openness to fans that turned every restaurant meal into an endless autograph-signing session, Usher said.
"He was just good to people," said Usher, a former jazz music producer who managed Sales in the 1950s and now owns Detroit-based Marine Pollution Control.

text: 1. What's the difference between fresh player and player who played firefall for 1 year, without battleframes? [skill doesn't count] Let's assume that XP means experience. So, your BATTLEFRAME is getting XP (experience) for killing, doing missions, events, etc. And, for this EXPERIENCE you can buy upgrades for your battleframe. Still, battleframe pilot or user (your character) is dumb as he/she was at the beginning, even with 439395986 hours spent in game. 2. Let's take Assault for example. We have two Assaults in stock gear. The first one has only white upgrades, second is fully upgraded The difference? Second is faster by this 20%, and have something like 100 energy more. The only point of upgrading your battleframe is to wear better, crafted components. So, we are upgrading our battleframes especially to prepare them to wear better non-stock equipment. Can't upgrades give us something unique? Examples: CPU upgrade could provide enemy tracking Power upgrade could give us a passive bonus - first shot after 10 sec not participating in fight makes 10%more dmg These are just ideas, you know what I mean Make this upgrades worth buying, it shouldn't be a must. Waiting for your thoughts!

Bridges or Roadblocks?
One thing I know is that our strength as Indigenous peoples comes from connection to our spirituality and our connection to the land and to the waters. The spirit world communicates with us in many ways, including through dreams. Last night I had a dream I know was a message for all of us, and so I share this with you.
Last night as I slept I was in forest when a bear approached me. I was scared of him initially but I just stood there and waited for him to act. He spoke to me and I was amazed that I could understand him. He spoke in my language and said, "Aambe, gego giiwaabade'in" ("follow me, I want to show you something").
I followed him deeper into the forest. He was a big bear, strong, powerful and beautiful. When he came to the very large log, he put his paws on it and rolled it over. He ripped the bark off by scraping it. Then he laid down and stuck his tongue out onto it.
I laid down near him quietly and watched as little ants began walking up his tongue. Then he flicked his tongue into his mouth. He put his tongue out onto the log again, and again ants walked up his tongue. This went on for what seemed like all day. I got tired and was almost falling asleep watching, but I kept myself awake, because he told me to follow him and watch.
He did that all day back and forth. I could hear him breathing, sometimes he sighed heavily, and sometimes he closed his eyes. But he did not stop putting his tongue on the log and waiting for the ants.
When it started to get dark he got up, he packed the bark with his paws like he was closing the bark, and turned to me and said, "Owe, giiwaabanda'in eshchige'aan. Mii chazhegiiwe'ninaan. Beminizho'ishin." ("I wanted to show you this. Now I must take you back. Just follow me").
I followed him back and was in awe of him for the patience that he had to lie there all day and extract those ants using his tongue. I was amazed at his calmness in what he was doing. He didn't get excited. He remained calm throughout. His dedication is something I don't have. Those virtues of patience, calmness and dedication he had, I admired and wanted for myself. He reminded me of the calmness of the grandmothers and the dedication I've seen before watching my mother work herself to the bone.
What my dream tells me regarding Idle No More and the struggles of our people is that we need to be patient and that we need to be calm. We need to show our children that same patience and calmness.
This is why the call today by Chiefs in Ontario and Manitoba to block roads and railways is something I'm not comfortable with and I'll tell you why. But first, let me state I fully support Idle No More and what we are all doing. We need a new relationship based on respect. I also believe in protests, round dance flash mobs and other forms of resistance.
To me blocking roads and railways is like cornering a cat or a dog or a snake. It causes society lash out. It causes tension to build and anger to build and that anger spills into their homes and their children pick up on it. When their children and our children need to have a better future together, creating anger and frustration is not the way. We have to do what we can for the future.
What we find ourselves in today is at least 150 years in the making. It has taken many generations to get where we are. And it will take a while to get ourselves to the place we want to be. The bear showed me clearly we need to have patience and understanding, and as frustrated as we are we need to build bridges to bring society to us. It's not fair, but it falls upon us as Anishinaabe people to educate society about the sacredness and importance of land, water and environment. They don't understand. And they need to. They can't teach their children what they don't know.
In our language we call ourselves Anishinaabe, which simply means, "people." Racism came to us. In our traditional ways of seeing the world, everyone is only human. No one is above. That is why we don't think of the Prime Minister as being higher than us. Or the Governor General. We recognize the office they hold, but as human beings we don't see them as different or more important than any one of us.
"In our ceremonies, we sit in a circle. Nobody is better than anyone else. We all learn from each other and are equal."
If we don't teach society about us, racism will continue growing. I've grown up my whole life experiencing racism against me and against our people. I had to work very hard on myself to let go of my anger for what I've experienced. And I know it shouldn't be up to us to have to educate Canadians. But it is. It is up to us. We must have patience, as the bear does, even as we sigh and get tired as the bear in my dream did.
We must remain steady and calm. And in these qualities, I as a man, think we need to listen to women. We have to be in balance. And that is what being Anishinaabe is. Being in balance with the Mother Earth. That is why we always give back or make offerings to the spirit world, to Mother Earth and in our ceremonies to keep in balance.
I was told Creator told us all "Come to my fire, feel the warmth of my fire, and while you're here at my fire I'll explain to you who I am. After you have received the warmth of my fire go get kindling for the fire so that others will come by my fire and learn."
Miigwetch Mkwa for showing me patience, care, and love. And also showing me the way today.

Wonderful piece. And so true in all its aspects. And one of the points you made is so true – if bridges and train tracks are blocked, other Canadians see that as acts of aggression against them (they can't get to where they were going) and no matter how sympathetic they may feel to the cause, they will immediately turn their backs. And why stop trains or cars or trucks from being able to move? The people in them are just ordinary Canadians trying to either get to their jobs or do them. Your quarrel is not with other Canadians, it is with the government of Canada, the Conservative Party, and Harper and his ministers.
Idle No More should keep raising its voice, should keep marching and singing and dancing, should keep the pressure on. Power is being non aggressive. Strength is being peaceful.
William ThorntonJanuary 14, 2013
peacefully @ Judith
Does the ordinairy canadian 'just trying to get to their jobs or do their jobs' need to be encouraged to educate themselves?
Maybe they do.
Is there an urgency to stop these ominous bills now?
I don't agree with the assumption that the 'ordinary canadians' "will immediately turn their backs". People naturally want to care but are too distracted with personal day to day survival in this competitive social economic environment.
Maybe blocking the road will help them to 'take a break', thus giving them a reason to be thirsty for knowledge and connect the dots as to how government management is effecting their health and quality of life. They would say, " Oooops, Now maybe its time for me to start paying attention issues on a grander scale because it is directly effecting me !"
Promoting education regarding divide and conquer tactics which have been used throughout world history and how this tactic is used against movements would help. The facts of inequality, a degrading environment and society speak for themselves.
There are many people in many circles who have the same core concerns with environment and the direction humanity is going such as the Idle No More movement and will understand the situation. We all want to grow up.
Lets have hope, peace and no fear.

Maybe governments should think about their 'poor track record' when it comes to 'consultation' of First Nations.Whether Provincial or Federal, governments should learn to listen to First Nations….to actually hear them….we have two ears and one mouth so should listen twice as much as we speak….
But then it was said that when the Europeans first came and 'discovered' North America that they had no eyes and no ears, since they didn't see or hear. Maybe it is time to change that. Open up their eyes….and ears….
Native people sometimes wear what is called a Unity button….a button with the four colours of red, white, black and yellow on it….these colours represent the four sacred colours of the Medicine Wheel….the four races of man….and these colours all meet in the middle….so we need to learn to meet in the middle too….to actually find common ground….

I agree up to having patience.Being Houdenosaunee, brings.men certain responsibilities far different from women. Men carry the burden of peace on our shoulders.Now that doesn't mean we don't fight to protect. As men we have our own council fire as do the women and our chiefs. We have had to protect a lot over the years. Our decissions are by consensus. Let me share with you. Decisions using a diversity of tactics we have used for years. Your familiar with Caledonia? We will not back off. Using our Great Law, a good mind and a consensus. we will continue our fight. So patienc its been. Takes time sometimes to reach a consensus. Times we have ro put it under our pillow to consider later.So please don't interpret after patience that action isn't to be considered. It is. Just sometimes choices must be put under the pillow.

DescriptionV-v-vroom In one exciting day, you can now experience and drive on the road a minimum of five legendary sports cars, driving through the countryside for over 100 miles swapping cars throughout the day.This classic sports car driving day offers a full day's on-road driving on a route of approximately 100-125 miles through the countryside. You will drive at least five classic sports cars which may include an Austin Healey, BMW, Jaguar, Porsche, Lotus, Triumph, Caterham & Morgan (Cars vary depending on the location). Cars will be swapped between the teams throughout the day. The day is normally in the form of a treasure hunt and begins at 8.30am with driving teams being briefed on their vehicle over morning coffee. You will be paired up with another participant which will allow you to alternate between driving and navigating/clue finding. Then it's off into the countryside driving a genuine classic sports car in search of those vital clues! The day includes a traditional pub lunch and will finish with the presentation of prizes for the winning team.

NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- More than 400 Sailors of Navy Provisional Detainee Battalion (NPDB) 2 returned home to Naval Station Norfolk Aug. 11, after a 16-month deployment in Iraq where they guarded 19,000 detainees at Camp Bucca.
"We definitely accomplished our mission," said Cmdr. Kathryn Donovan, commanding officer NPDB-2. "It's an ongoing mission of detainee ops down in Camp Bucca, Iraq. I thought we did a great job as a unit. We had very few MAs, but everyone performed outside of their rate successfully,"
The unit was comprised of 422 Sailors from both active-duty and reserve components. They received advanced combat skills and detainee operations training in Fort Bliss, Texas prior to deploying in May 2006.
The meticulous training involved various situations the service members might face during their assignment including convoy operations, self-defense tactics, riot control, hand-to-hand combat, non-lethal weapons, first aid, search and seizure, and urban operations.
All the Sailors assigned to NPDB-2 were Individual augmentees (IA) -- Sailors who fill a non-traditional expeditionary combat support or combat service mission.
"IAs are definitely something that is needed. It's a great opportunity to interact with the other services. Even though we were in Camp Bucca, IAs are needed all over the world. It's a very important mission and I think everyone should experience it," said LT.j.g. Gary Kluck, NPDB-2 compound commander.
"I've learned so much from being over there. Leadership with Sailors under me and how to deal with those above me as well as interacting with other services to accomplish common goals were just a few aspects I will take away from this," said Aviation Electrician 2nd Class Paul Cook, Compound 15 officer.
Two Sailors were recognized for their personal achievements during the deployment. Aviation Electrician's Mate 1st Class Paul Cook and Storekeeper 2nd Class Frank Bendorf received battlefield promotions to their current ranks through the Combat Meritorious Advancement Program.
"It's a great sense of pride and satisfaction," said Cook. "How many people can say they've got the chance to serve and get meritoriously accommodated. It's a good feeling, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts."
"From the second I showed up at the command I did everything I could to set myself apart. I really stepped forward and tried to help out everyone as much as I could by getting them the supplies they needed," said Bendorf.

Joe Berton was the greatest pitcher to ever climb a mound. And today, Joe Berton, a retired school teacher who lives in Oak Park and is 57 and Ichabod-Crane spindly and does not swivel heads anymore, is a footnote to sports history. No, that's not quite it: Joe Berton is a footnote to a footnote to sports history.
Wait, scratch that: Joe Berton is a footnote to a footnote to a bit of sports history that never happened.
Yes, that's it: Joe Berton was Sidd Finch. Or rather, he was the model for Finch, who was born in the spring of 1985. Finch was the baseball player featured in the April 1, 1985, issue of Sports Illustrated; the story, titled "The Curious Case of Sidd Finch," was by George Plimpton, a 14-page profile of a New York Mets pitching phenom who had never played the game but whose fastball was a leather-wrapped sonic boom of 168 miles per hour.
So with the Cubs and Sox opening their seasons on Friday, the first of April, April Fool's Day, we thought to check in on Berton. This is, after all, the anniversary of the greatest hoax in the history of baseball.He was 32 in 1985.He landed in the story because he was close friends with SI staff photographer Lane Stewart, who read Plimpton's piece before publication. Plimpton had written that Sidd was awkward and shy, his loping pitching style a dead ringer for Goofy in old Disney cartoons. Stewart was astonished at how much of Plimpton's description sounded like his 6-foot-4 buddy in Oak Park.

text: Twitter updates for Final Fantasy addicts Technology 15 December 09 by Paul Govan It's no secret in my household that Mum and Dad like a bit of Final Fantasy. OK, so we like a lot. With that in mind, I've been looking forward to getting my hands on Final Fantasy XIII. Along with other fans up and down the country, we are counting the days until March 9, when it's due to arrive in stores.I was therefore happy to hear yesterday that we can follow the slow drip-feed of information a little more easily now, as Square Enix has announced both Facebook and Twitter support.We can now "meet other fans from around the world and stay updated on the latest news, screenshots and videos by joining the official Facebook page." More exciting for me, though, being the main tweeter in our family, was the real-time information available on Twitter.As we get closer to release we'll need to decide what format to buy it on, my 360 or my wife's PS3. At the moment it looks like the extra capacity on Sony's machine will mean that she wins. The other week in an interview with Famitsu, Square Enix said that although the video and audio is compressed on the Xbox 360 it will still span multiple DVDs, while the PlayStation 3 version will be uncompressed and appear on a dual-layer blu-ray disc.It may well be that the Xbox version can be uncompressed and installed to the 360 hard drive to even out the difference, but no details are available yet. Even if this is possible, it is going to take up a fare chunk of space – a reminder that I need to get a bigger drive on my Christmas list.

This magnificent domed building exhibits Brussel's grandeur.
The traditional inhabitants of the Marolles district still vilify unpleasant people as "architects". The reason for this is that part of the district was flattened in 1866 to make way for this gigantic structure which was admired by Hitler and his architect Albert Speer. The architect Joseph Poelaert, who went mad before his life's work was completed, glorifies Justitia and mighty Belgium. Beneath the enormous dome of the Salle des pas perdus (Hall of the Lost Footsteps) everyone is made to feel small, whether defendant, lawyer, judge or visitor.

Deutsche Bank's plan to become the last man standing in investment banking in Europe is working, the bank said on Tuesday, reporting a 16% year-on-year increase in quarterly pretax income. But the spectre of costly litigation and settlements cast a shadow over results, with the bank booking 470 million euros ($631 million) in litigation-related quarterly charges and topping up reserves for future litigation by 22% to 2.2 billion euros.
Deutsche Bank faces an array of investigations that ranges from allegations of manipulating the Libor benchmark rate to unfairly favouring some investors in so-called dark pools and has already paid more than 5 billion euros over the past two years in settlements and fines.In a new development, Deutsche Bank said it had received requests for information from regulators related to high frequency trading, and that it had been named as a defendant in class action complaints alleging violations of US securities laws related to high frequency trading.With the threat of fines and settlement costs looming, as well as European banking stress tests year, Germany's largest lender raised 8.5 billion euros in June to strengthen its balance sheet.
Deutsche Bank has come under heavy fire from US authorities in recent weeks, with regulators slamming the bank for shoddy financial reporting, which it is addressing in part by hiring 500 US staff.
There is significant uncertainty as to the timing and size of potential impacts. Accordingly, actual litigation costs for the balance of fiscal year 2014 are unpredictable, Deutsche Bank said in a presentation.
Investment banking earnings contributed the lion's share of pretax income of 917 million euros as revenue from Deutsche Bank's important debt trading operations held steady.
UBS settles German case, net rises
Geneva: Switzerland's biggest bank, UBS, reported Tuesday a 15% rise in second-quarter profit, driven by strong results from its core wealth management business and trimmed-down investment banking franchises despite a tough market environment. UBS said its net profit for the April-June period rose to 792 million Swiss francs ($876 million) from 690 million francs in the comparable period in 2013. The Zurich-based bank also said it had settled an investigation in Germany of charges that the bank aided German clients suspected of evading taxes. UBS made a

Compared with almost any other industry in India, banking is ridden with anti-competitive policy. It is essentially impossible to start a new bank, foreign banks are prohibited from competing in India, and existing banks have to take permissions to open branches. The lack of competition is a critical element of diagnosing why India has such a low quality banking industry, with poor services and high prices. A series of expert committees, most notably the Percy Mistry and Raghuram Rajan reports, have criticised these barriers to competition. Such a policy framework was consistent with India of the 1970s, but is now out of touch with the ethos of modern economic policy. Governor Subbarao has made two important changes to this gloomy picture. First, the setting up of ATMs has been delicensed. Second, setting up branches has been delicensed other than in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities. These tentative moves raise four interesting questions. First, a few years ago, Standard Chartered had asked RBI whether it could open 200 rural branches. This request was turned down. Will this request now be viewed favourably, since RBI is no longer in the business of preventing banks from opening branches in rural areas? Second, why should citizens of Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities be denied the benefits of competition which are being given to other locations? When will branch licensing be completely removed?
Third, what will be done about opening up entry into banking? Indian customers of banking services today have three bad choices. The PSU banks do not know how to deliver good services to customers. The foreign banks have been prevented from setting up adequate distribution. This leaves just a handful of choices such as ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, HDFC Bank. These banks are faltering on many aspects of customer service: precisely because they face no competition. In every other walk of life in India, competition has come about and the benefits are visible. Would RBI now allow a private equity fund to put down Rs 100 crore in equity capital and start a bank? Fourth, the most important way to rapidly get high quality capabilities into Indian banking remains foreign banks. All foreign banks, put together, are permitted to open 18 branches a year. Removing this licensing requirement remains the most rapid way to improve the quality of banking services obtained by citizens. How and when will foreign banks be able to open branches in India based purely on commercial considerations, without distortions caused by the government? The reciprocity argument, often given by Indian private bankers, is not the point. Even if other countries are silly enough to stop Indian banks from opening branches, we should be smart enough to be more open.

I make these gluten-free coconut macaroons all year round; when I retested it today, my younger son ate an entire baking sheet of these yummy little cookies!
Later than usual this year, my favorite spring holiday falls on April 19th, just over 3 weeks away. I especially enjoy the food traditions surrounding this holiday; during the next couple of weeks I will be posting all of my favorite Passover recipes.
These gluten free coconut macaroons are an ideal Pesach dessert because they are made with egg whites and do not contain chametz, or leavened grain products. According to my 9 year old son, who is studying the Torah in school, we refrain from eating chametz because, "when leaving Egypt the Jews did not even have enough time to let the bread rise."
Ironically, after a bit of historical research, I found that macaroons are actually a Christian food. According to mirabilis.ca, "macaroons originated in an Italian monastery around 1792. The name comes from the Italian word for paste, maccarone, which refers to almond paste. Macaroni means flour paste."
- 6 egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- ½ cup agave nectar or honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- In a mixing bowl whisk egg whites and salt until stiff
- Fold in agave, vanilla and coconut
- Drop batter onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet, one rounded tablespoonful at a time
- Pinch each macaroon at the top (like a kiss)
- Bake at 350° for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned*
- Serve
Stay tuned for more delicious organic, gluten-free Passover dishes and desserts!
* Please note, I edited this recipe on 3/28/08, modifying the baking temperature; the macaroons are more moist when baked at a higher temp for one or two minutes less.

Samba is typically used to mount a Linux drive to Windows. However, the beta is a public environment, so traffic to it goes over the Internet, and security should be a consideration. Instead of Samba, let's use SSH as the underlying transfer layer—it's configured on each of the available software images.
Enter Dokan, a FUSE and SSHFS implementation for Windows. No server-side configuration required; all you need is an active instance, its ip address and your private key. If you need help with those, you can always check with the beta user guide or watch one of the tutorial videos.
Here's how to set up and confugure Dokan on your Windows machine:
- Download and install .NET unless you already have it installed
- Download and install the Dokan FUSE library for Windows.
- Download and install Dokan SSHFS next. We're ready to connect to our instance now.
- Run Dokan SSHFS and you should see a window similar to the one shown below. Give your connection a name, specify the ip address of your instance and the user name that you wish to connect as. All instances come with the idcuser account configured, so we're using that in the screenshot:
- Under the Identity section, specify your unmodified private key that you downloaded from the beta web site. The name of that file should be similar to ibmcloud_youremail_rsa. Note: Don't use your converted Putty key - it just won't work.
- Specify the directory you wish to mount -- notice that we used the idcuser home directory to avoid any permission problems. Give your mount a drive letter, click Connect, and if you see this tiny window. . .
. . . you know that you're all set. Contratulations! Now you can use Windows Explorer to work with your new drive :)

Finally, Zelda II Has Been Translated To Latin
Somebody went and translated all of Zelda II into Latin for the three people out there that might actually play it that way. They also did the original Zelda and Final Fantasy VI. Whee. As many of you may know, Zelda II is a sore subject for me because it's the only game in the entire series I haven't beat. And believe me, I've tried. I fire that sucker up and play through it at least twice a year AND STILL CAN'T DEFEAT THE LAST PALACE. So, anybody want to come over and beat it for me while I watch? The game too. HIYO!
Hit the jump for some more screenshots of the translated games.

Narnia Crowns Prince Caspian
By Josh Tyler 2007-02-05 00:01:25 comments
The kids from the first Chronicles of Narnia movie will be back for the second one, Prince Caspian. So its not like Disney has a lot of new lead roles to fill. But there is one really important part theyll need a new actor for: Prince Caspian.
AICN has picked up a story from the Times which says that theyve found their Narnia Prince. Hes a British actor named Ben Barnes, and he has a small part in the upcoming Neil Gaiman fantasy adaptation Stardust. One problem though: Hes 25. I dont recall the book ever saying exactly how old he is, but Id always gotten the impression that he was still a kid like the middle aged Pevensies. 14, 15, or maybe 16 at the oldest. A 25-year-old actor playing a 16-year-old seems odd.
Still, hes an unknown so who knows how hell do. Maybe theyre writing Caspian a couple of years older for the movie. Maybe Ben is just really really good at playing young.
