If you're a solo player, it's simply an opportunity to play with the powers you didn't pick when you specced your guy up. If you're in a supergroup, you'd be doing your superchums a major disservice if you didn't pick Leadership, Medicine or Fitness. Creating a group- or PVP-focused build isn't just a matter of swapping to other pools, either - the less spectacular core abilities also become that much more desirable when you're not stuck with them during solo play.
My energy/electrical Blaster, for instance, usually spends his time spamming enemies with blue beams: very much a blunt instrument of pure damage. In his second build, he's all about crowd control and minor healing. He looks the same and some of his powers carry over from the other build, but to use, he's almost a completely different character. Again, it's the sort of feature that answers the pleas of forum-posters, and not one to lure new players in. It sure beats having a dedicated team-play alt, though.
There's a raft of other new additions, including a new set of missions, some new costume options, easier base item recipes, and Shield powers for melee classes. It's a substantial update even if it's not a headline-making one. But the one change that really stands out is the Levelling Pact.
City of Heroes has always been uniquely sympathetic to the fact that players like to play with their friends. Where some MMOs punish this - if you're at a different level to your comrades, all playing together gets you is a lot less experience points and a lot more hassle - City of Heroes' sidekicking system enables anyone to play with anyone on a pretty much equal footing. Even so, there few things quite so disheartening to see your mate's spent three days off work with man-flu, but remained well enough to race 10 levels ahead of you.
Levelling Pact fixes that, so long as you can find someone you trust enough to sign up to one with. The idea is that 50 per cent of any XP you earn goes to your partner, and vice-versa. When you're both online, you'll be earning an equal amount of XP that should add up to pretty much the normal rate. When only one player is online, that player's levelling rate will be halved because 50 per cent of XP is still being shovelled over to the other guy. It's artificial, but it's as fair as it gets - and more importantly should mean there's always someone of your level to play with.
The downside is that it requires the pair of you to start new characters at the same time - level 5 is the last chance to set up a Pact. If you can't find a partner before then, it's of no use. It's a truly great system for real-life friends, but its success depends entirely on the influx of new players or alts being steady enough. It would have been fantastic in City of Heroes' early days - and like Sidekicking and costume creation, it's one of those innovations that prove it still has the foresight and playfulness so many other MMOs lack.
All in all, it's not an update that's likely to have many folk resubscribing. Hopefully its real purpose is to lay the groundwork for the more enticing Issue 14, which promises a vast influx of new mission content and - perhaps - players. With Issue 13 putting these bland but thoughtful new systems in place to make day-to-day life in Paragon City a bit less of a grind, Issue 14 is even better poised to give City of Heroes the kick up the bum it so urgently needs.

Ginsana Venastat, 60 caps
Dietary Supplement. Helps relieve achy, tired or swollen legs. Promotes leg vein health & circulation. Venastat - Healthy legs from inside out: For many people, achy, tired or swollen legs are an all-too-common part of their daily lives. Standing for an extended length of time, being physically inactive or crossing your legs can contribute to this discomfort. And as you grow older, it can be more difficult for your body to maintain good leg vein health to efficiently circulate blood from your legs to your heart. Fluid can collect in the legs and pass from the capillaries into surrounding tissue. As a result, your legs can feel achy, heavy or tired. You may also experience tension in your calves, edema or swelling. Venastat can help. The natural extract in Venastat helps strengthen capillaries, maintain a natural fluid balance and protect against edema and swelling. Take clinically proven Venastat to safely and effectively help relieve achy, tired or swollen legs and to promote healthy leg vein circulation.

Hey guys!
Something I've been debating. I use apps on my ipod, like Nike Running, and I'm never sure if i should hit start as I leave the house and begin my warm up, or wait until the warm up is complete and I'm picking up a jog.
If i include the warm-up walk (a third to a half a mile), it slows down the pace average, but if I wait to hit start until I'm jogging, I get no "credit" for the .6 to .75 of the mile I'm covering in warm up and cool down.

WEDNESDAY, May 30 (HealthDay News) -- For patients with community-acquired pneumonia without preexisting diabetes, serum glucose levels at admission are predictive of death at 28 and 90 days, according to a study published online May 29 in BMJ.
To investigate whether acute dysglycemia predicts death in patients with community-acquired pneumonia, Philipp M. Lepper, M.D., from the University Hospital of Saarland in Homburg, Germany, and colleagues conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study involving 6,891 patients with community-acquired pneumonia between 2003 and 2009.
The researchers found that, for patients with community-acquired pneumonia and no preexisting diabetes, an increased serum level at admission was a predictor of death at 28 and 90 days. Compared to patients with normal glucose levels on admission, patients with serum concentrations of 6 to 10.99 mmol/L (mild acute hyperglycemia) had a hazard ratio of 1.56 for death at 90 days, and the risk increased to 2.37 with a serum concentration of ≥14 mmol/L. Compared to those without preexisting diabetes, patients with preexisting diabetes had significantly increased overall mortality, independent of glucose level on admission (crude hazard ratio, 2.47).
"Serum glucose levels on admission to hospital can predict death in patients with community-acquired pneumonia without preexisting diabetes," the authors write. "Acute hyperglycemia may therefore identify patients in need of intensified care to reduce the risk of death from community-acquired pneumonia."

TALLAHASSEE — In a move that could boost gay couples' rights, Gov. Charlie Crist said Tuesday that he'll consider ending a legal battle over same-sex adoptions.
The former Republican's comment came a day after his independent U.S. Senate campaign issued a position paper supporting several gay rights issues he'd once opposed, including adoption rights.
A Miami judge last year declared a state ban on adoption by gay couples unconstitutional.
The state Department of Children and Families, which is under Crist, has asked the 3rd District Court of Appeal, also in Miami, to reverse the ruling. Regardless of how the appeals court rules, the case likely will wind up in the Florida Supreme Court unless Crist decides to drop it.
"I'm going to review it before I make that call," Crist said.
While gays can serve as foster parents in Florida, it's the only state that bans them from adopting without exception, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
Florida American Civil Liberties Union executive director Howard Simon said Martin Gill, the plaintiff, wants the case to run its course in the courts because that's the only sure way to kill the ban. Dropping the case now would mean the judge's ruling applies to only one of Florida's 20 judicial circuits, Simon said.
"You're not doing anybody a favor by even considering a premature halt to this case," he said. "We need a final determination."
Echoing his position paper, Crist said he believes judges should decide on a case-by-case basis whether an adoption is in a child's best interest no matter the adoptive parents' sexual orientation.
Brian Winfield, a spokesman for the gay rights advocacy group Equality Florida, said it's appropriate for Crist to consider dropping the appeal after releasing the position paper.
The governor, who now needs to attract more Democratic and independent voters, called his changing views "an appropriate evolution."
"The older you get the more tolerant you become, the less judgmental you are, and that's called wisdom," Crist said. "Maybe I was more rigid earlier, but I don't feel that way. And I know who's supposed to be judging people, and it's not me."

Jennifer 8:45am Opening Thoughts. Engaging patients in their journey through a health event is a skill
that is often challenging for providers. It means tapping into the very
thing that we are taught to contain as we are trained in our
professions, our emotional connection to patients. This
plenary will invite attendees to listen and absorb patient stories and
reflect on their work of engaging patients, families, and communities in
Frank 8:45am Opening Thoughts. The depth and sophistication of the presenters at this meeting has
improved tremendously. This morning we will hear from a panel of
presenters who will help us think through how to incorporate patients,
clients, consumers more deeply into the collaborative partnerships we
are trying for here. This should be threatening, exhilarating,
enlightening, and edifying.
Jennifer 8:54am. Purposeful engagement in patient-centered practice does
not mean more time but better use of our time. It takes effort and
energy not to listen or to ask about the patient and family experience.
So, what would happen if we learned to use that
energy in ways that help us to get to "health" faster?
Parinda Khatri (moderator) is introducing the panel of plenary speakers: Danny Sands (primary care physician), Kerri Morrone Sparling (patient blogger), and Laverne Miller (attorney). I am excited to hear their stories!
Jennifer 9:00am. Dr. Sands opens with a description of his journey and lessons
learned along the way. He shares his story about his enculturation into
medicine how providers are often trained not to be wrong or are afraid
to admit not knowing. He learned how important
it is to ask patients questions. Why are some providers so afraid to
talk to patients about what they think is going on? Is it really about
time or is it about being afraid of not knowing the answers.
Jennifer 9:48am. Laverne, wearing her attorney hat, said to make sure to
explain to patients know who their information is being shared with,
why, and how. Patients who do not want to share information may benefit
from peer specialists to help explain why it is
so important. Dr. Sands challenged that he should have the right not to
take care of a patient who will not let him or her have access to her
medical record. He provided the example of providers not having access
to mental health records and how that is complicated
and can prevent good care.
Who owns the patient record? Kerri thinks the patient should have
full access to their record. What are the limitations around full
Frank 9:50am. Parinda! Raises the difficult issue of a patient's unwillingness to give
permission to disclose personal information (I.e., ETOH consumption) to
all the members of a team. Interesting discussion about winning the
confidence of other team members, HIPAA's requirements that actually
allow disclosure of records that affect care, etc. Daniel makes the case
that we just have to share that stuff in order to avoid bad outcomes.
Kerri argues that they are her records and she can decide who sees what,
but thinks her care depends on all the clinicians talking to each other
with full information.
Jennifer 9:52am. Parinda posed the question to the audience on what is one thing we can do differently to move this conversation of engagement forward.
Kerri: Said we are having these discussion in a bubble. Leave the
conference and hold yourself accountable to looking your patients in the
eyes. Be human!
Laverne: Said go back and step up. Demand change! Focus more on
practice-based evidence and go out and observe and take risks....walk
the walk in all your interactions.
Danny: Influence your office by changing policy to get patients and
family input. Open up patients' records to them. Lower the barriers for
patient engagement.
Jennifer Closing Thoughts: I learned from this presentation that I need to be more accountable
and purposeful in the way I train providers to engage with patients and
families, include them more in my writing and presentations, and focus
on their perspectives more in my research.
I also value the act of looking at them in the eyes and realizing that I
need to more culturally aware of the systems outside the office that
support and challenge them. What an amazing panel representing a diverse
sets of experiences all unified by one theme:
we need change the way we think about healthcare to be more inclusive.
What are you willing to do to purposefully engage patients and families more in the healthcare experience?

For my first column, I am going to take a delve into the the wonder that was the Attitude Era. The positives, the negatives, stars born, stars lost, and where it has left us today.
To begin, I would like to state that I have now been watchin wrestling for 15/16 years, and considering I am just approaching 19 I can say it is a huge part of my life. People have called the Attitude time the Golden Era for the WWE, but was it infact Golden or just tinted bronze"
Entertainment was the main driving force during these years, mainly due to television ratings being at the forefront of the wrestling world's mind. This was all well and good, but the wrestling suffered for it in my view. It spawned such an array of entertainers from The Rock to Steve Blackman, each had their own unique character and appeal. The main players driving the WWE in this time were The Rock, Steve Austin, Triple H and Mankind, respectively. Of course you also had your Undertakers and Kanes, but what real quality 'wrestlers' led the scene"
Of course, you can argue that Triple H and Mankind had some tremendous matches, as did Triple H with many at this time. But how many 5 star matches, considering he was the main bill of a Pay Per View each month, did Stone Cold actually have" In effect when he was at the top of the mountain he was a broken man. We all know Stone Cold could have a brilliant match, just look at Austin/Hart from WM13, but he did not produce consistantly high calibur in the ring at this time.
On the entertainment side however, Austin did it week in week out. And because of this, the match quality didn't effect tv ratings or ppv buyrates. Same goes for The Rock, but yet, Wrestling was hotter than ever. Underneath these main eventers, you had majority of the now main players. Your Benoits, your Angles, your Edge's, Christians and Guerreros. Now these wrestlers have taken to the floor, the 'Entertainment' side has maybe died down slightly.
And could this be the reasoning behind the slump in ratings recently" Maybe the WWE is seeing this, and slowly bringing characters more into the Spotlight again. But oddly in my opinion the characters seem out of place now. We've had pure wrestlers topping the main event for about 2 years now, with their character seeming to be less and less important to the fans who have stuck with the product through this time.
For example Mordecai, what is going on there" Now there may be people reading this who think that this character is good, but to me, he looked like a fool when he debuted. I doubt he'll ever become what the Undertaker is or was, and I just find him hard to believe.
Whereas in the Attitude Era, I think he would have fit in a charm. This is just my view, but maybe the characters will gradually work their way back in to the fold but at the moment I still think audiences want to see more wrestlers and wrestling with the likes of Benoit at the top of the bill rather than the Mordecai praying segments filling up the show.
If we were still in the Attitude Era, Benoit would be the Intercontinental Champion, and John Cena would be on TV Guides and chat shows the world over. And that, in effect, is how the Attitude Era was and where it has left us.
I hope you have enjoyed my first column, albeit a blunt and quite short one. I could have and may well explore this subject deeper in a future column, but I just felt for my 'pilot' column I would share my thoughts on this subject. I hope you read my next column, which will be longer, deeper and filled with Chavo Classic.

Imprint Presents: Jeff Hamada (Full Video)
In July, I flew down to Los Angeles to speak as part of Imprint Culture Lab's on-going lecture series. One of the last speakers they had was David Choe so I had a fairly tough act to follow (he began his talk by smashing a chair on stage). Two years ago I set a goal for myself to say yes to public speaking events until I actually enjoyed doing them, and I'm excited to announce I may not ever speak publicly again; I actually enjoyed this one.
I don't want to give away my whole talk, I'd rather you just watch it, but there's a healthy amount of embarrassing stories, and things I've observed about the Internet. Specifically the way in which it's killing creativity without most people noticing it.
Watch the full hour-long video below (if you have nothing better to do), and if you have any thoughts/insights about anything I touch on I'm totally into having a discussion in the comments section!
Hope you enjoy it.

Logged in at 10, tried five different games and the seats offered were in " possible obstructed "Section 9 B deck or the last row of C deck Section 28 ........wasn't a decent seat offered for any conference game.
Member since 05 January 2012 | Blog

The Alumni Tours last year to Dallas were WAY over priced for the three day land package ($ 4200 for 2 ), plus we got the cheapest nosebleed seats at AT&T above the big tv screen...........never again! Going a-la-carte was in consideration, but PHX tickets in the holiday season were not a good buy. BEAT the IRISH!
Get to know the public transport system first thing.....you can move anywhere very cheap with daily passes! Ride to the top of the castle on a tram and walk down hill to the Charles Bridge & old town. Great systems to see European cities Prague, Vienna, Bratislava............
Spent big bucks for two alumni packages for Oregon and ended -up in the nosebleed cheap seats in Dallas.......
Please Cardale, don't pull a Maurice when the lights & camera go on.........Clarett became a head case soon after with all the media attention. Hopefully Ted Ginn sr. has him on a short leash for the next few weeks!
The Heisman Committee would be smart to have JT in attendance as a symbol of a courage & talented student athlete who excelled when placed in a difficult situation. To replace a Heisman candidate in Braxton & then compete for the same award is amazing!
Braxton last year, JT this year.......why do Urban/Herman commit their QB to an inside running game?
Will they ever develop an offense that doesn't put their most valuable player in harms way?
Do you remember a guy who had a bad game against Illinois ( fumbles) as a young player many years ago and went on to be very good??? His name was Eddie yes Eddie George
FITZ "massacre!!" Meatchicken could salvage the season with a win in Columbus..........history tells us this game is a blood-match, whatever the records ! Remember 2013, one point win.................
My ND homer guys tout ' strength of schedule ' when asked of their avoidance of a Conference Championship game ( they are not full members of the ACC ) !!
Guess the committee wasn't swayed by the strength of schedule argument either........................
Wearing two hearing aids at 75 years old because of 'decibel levels' in my past. Good luck millennial....... find yourself a good ENT physician for future. It was fun then but hell now!!!
Send Hermann out for pizza at 7:30pm & lock the booth! Invite the St Ed's coach in to call plays!
13 is generous after the poor offensive coaching/performance last night. Just compare Va Tech and the second half last night..........out coached & nearly beaten by a three loss team !
Hermann is a poor OC....cannot adjust to the defenses. PSU like Va Tech adjusted at halftime and Hermann was lost....I believe JT could call his own plays and make the necessary adjustments.
Why do the coaches rely on JT to carry the offensive run load as they did with Braxton?? Result Braxton shoulder injury, now JT with a gimpy leg! Poor use of offensive run potential,ie: Marshall, Dontre,
Ever watch Gurley of Georgia run the jet sweep? A game changer, but Hermann fails to use such a deadly weapon with Wilson & Marshall I don't recall one in the last game.
Finally he is using the tight ends which could have been a game changer against Va Tech. It's time to use all the weapons to give Dantonio a challenge!
Dontre & Jalin are deadly when Hermann calls the jet sweep in either direction and it puts the defense on it's heals. But I don't recall the jet sweep against Rutgers. the jet sweep/reverse was beautiful in an earlier game........don't bury the sweep in the back of the playbook Tom!!!
Rollback to the ND first score when the FSU d- back was called for a defensive holding call ...it looked just like the technique Chris described during the OSU/Rutgers game..........check the video!
The haunting question I have........why didn't Urban and/or Herrmann make adjustments at halftime? No passes to the tight end, slants, bubble screens,etc..... poor coaching lost that game!
Question :
What newspaper do you use to wrap your garbage for disposal??
The New York Times Sports Page!
and what glorious team has a history of violence against women?? None other than pious Notre Dame!
Where were the tight ends in the passing game?
Did Urban leave the tight ends home in Columbus again this year???
What ever happened to the school colors...Scarlet & Gray?? Nike turned our tradition into red, black & silver!

The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board voted late Thursday to give thousands of Medicare-eligible retirees the choice of staying on the district's self-funded health insurance plan or shifting completely to Medicare through a Medicare Advantage Plan managed by Humana.
The shift will occur in January. Retirees can stay on the school system's group insurance if they pay higher premiums than they currently pay. The School Board plans to revisit the issue a year from now.
Medicare-eligible retirees, who are expected to number almost 2,900 in 2014, use Medicare for their primary insurance but most rely on the school system's group plan, administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, for supplemental insurance, including prescription drug coverage.
Superintendent Bernard Taylor had asked for a chance to negotiate a "best and final offer" with either Humana or United Healthcare, the two companies vying to run the plan.
But board member Jill Dyason suggested the best option was hiring Humana, to specify that there be no copays for retirees and that the retirees be given a choice of paying higher premiums to continue in the Blue Cross group.
Dyason's complex motion won in a 6-5 vote.
Board members voting with Dyason in favor of the motion were Jerry Arbour, Connie Bernard, Barbara Freiberg, Randy Lamana and Vereta Lee.
Those voting against were Craig Freeman, Kenyetta Nelson-Smith, Tarvald Smith, David Tatman and Evelyn Ware-Jackson.
The board also voted to increase premiums for nearly 2,000 non-Medicare retirees who could see premium increases ranging from 25 percent to nearly 54 percent. That translates to $72 to $185 a year more than they pay now in premiums.
Active employees' premiums will be unchanged.
The shift to Medicare will save the school system millions, but it has been opposed by many retirees worried about the consequence of leaving the school system's insurance group and the uncertain future of Medicare. The issue has bedeviled the school system for the past year.
Thursday's debate centered less on whether to enter a Medicare Advantage plan and more on how to structure it. The options included whether require a copay or not — many Medicare-eligible retirees don't pay a copay now— and whether retirees could have the choice to stay on the school system's group insurance.
"We asked to have something closest to what we actually have," said Carnell Washington, president of the East Baton Rouge Parish Federation of Teachers.
Board members threw up an array of alternatives, leaving Taylor confused at times.
"I'm so totally lost here, and I don't know what we're doing," Taylor said at one point. "Can you give me direction as to whether we can save anything here."
School Board member Tarvald Smith suggested letting Taylor negotiate the best deal he can and come back to the board later.
"Either we're going to authorize the superintendent to enter into something or not," Smith said.
Mercer, the school system's health care consulting firm, that is projecting the school system will come up $6.6 million short in 2014 unless it either pumps in more money from its general operating fund, which is already facing cuts, or raises contributions from employees. The Medicare Advantage proposals aim to avoid the former and limit the latter.
John Byars, a retired teacher, said that custodians and other low-paid school workers are not being considered enough in this discussion.
"I've seen too many instances where these folks, who the schools could not operate without, are left out," he said. "They can't afford these increases."

I'm back (and with a new do)! I went on a road trip vacation to Canada and it was incredibly fun. I had all these plans to take lots of pictures and blog the whole thing but two things got in the way. 1- The place I stayed did not have wifi and 2- It is a pain in the bum to carry around a big camera all day and we stayed out pretty late at night.
These photos are from the very beginning of my trip when we went to an antique car show. I put this outfit together because I was loving all the geometric shapes and how they looked together. I was a bit dressed up for the event BUT as Oscar Wilde said, "You can never be overdressed or undereducated."

Skin Resurfacing
Skin enhancement, particularly laser resurfacing, is designed to remove discoloration, rough surfaces, and fine wrinkles. The result can be smooth, even-toned skin. These procedures can many times provide a dramatically improved appearance without the need for invasive surgery. Depending on assessment of your skin condition, one of our plastic surgeons, Dr. David Buchanan or Dr. Wesley Schooler may recommend laser resurfacing or microdermabrasion during your initial consultation.
Laser Resurfacing
If you are looking for a smoother, more even complexion, laser resurfacing may be for you. This procedure can remove fine lines from around the mouth, eyes, and cheeks as well as improve scars from acne and injury. Most discolorations and age spots can also be improved.
Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels are a highly effective and affordable option to treat fine lines, acne, scarring, and brown spots. Giana Miller, our certified aesthetician, specializes in a variety of mild to aggressive peels. Among her most popular peels are the Lactic Acid Glow Peel, The Vitalize Peel®, Jessner's Peel, and the Retin-A Peel.
For less severe cases, a procedure called microdermabrasion can revitalize skin in five or six sessions. Fine lines, roughness, discoloration and age spots are all treatable. Microdermabrasion uses pulsed salt spray to remove the upper skin layers. Our office offers medical-grade microdermabrasion, which refers to the type of machine used and the strength of skin exfoliation. The procedure is administered in our offices by our certified aesthetician.

how to use
Pump three puffs into palm, massage onto damp skin, and rinse well.
Our spa Triple Oxygen Treatment is one of the most sought-after—which is why it inspired us to create an entire line of Triple Oxygen products.
Why? Quite simply, oxygen is necessary for proper cell metabolism—and as you age, your oxygen levels decrease drastically, which is bad news for collagen and elastin production. After giving tons of triple oxygen facials, our customers started to come in asking for ways to protect their skin against environmental damage, so we developed our multi-action CPR technology that clarifies, protects and revitalizes skin.
Our oxygen products help give those levels a boost as well as giving that added protection against environmental agressors, giving you more youthful, glowy skin.

Stockholm native Per QX currently divides his time between his hometown, techno capital Berlin and his adopted home of over 10 years, London.
Having DJ'ed in over 30 different cities from Singapore to San Francisco, including guest sets at Pacha in London, Barcelona nightclub Razzmatazz, Tresor in Berlin, and at Roger Sanchez's Release Yourself at Ministry Of Sound, Per's style can adapt to suit any fun-loving party around the world.
He began writing dance music whilst still in Stockholm in early 2000, eventually releasing his first EP on Swedish producer StoneBridge's label Stoneyboy, a label known then for releasing early tracks from Swedish House Mafia alumni Axwell. It was around this time he also became friends with Sebastian Ingrosso. Per was lined up to be the first release on Sebastians uncles label Joia Records, but moved to London instead.
Which turned out pretty good for London, as he co-founded the outrageous (and now international) dance party GutterSlut, with Ralf Obergfell and Nic Fisher. From its beginnings in an East End strip joint, to now being held semi-regularly in London, Berlin and Stockholm, the night is always a favourite for each city's locals and even The Pet Shop Boys when they're in town. It's no surprise, considering the party has seen the likes of Felix Da Housecat, DJ Hell, Tiga and a whole host of local DJs grace their decks.
In addition to this, Per has released on celebrated labels like Size, Strictly Rhythm, Great Stuff, Stealth, Southern Fried Records and has seen his compositions used for a variety of projects for film and TV, which includes adverts Adidas, BBC Radio 1, Pioneer and BBC TV.
Still going strong in 2014, he's been working closely with Zoo Brazil, and new single, Save Us, out on Steve Angello's Size Records has already had worldwide exclusive play on BBC Radio 1, been played on Pete Tongs Essential Mix, went to no 3 in the UK Buzz Chart and has 200 000 plays on Sound Cloud alone.
Next up will be Hot Head with Elias Bravo out on Great Stuff, with a remix by Oliver Giamotto. Following that will be Give It Up on Noir Records again with Zoo Brazil, and finally Bongera with George Nakas on Trunk Funk records later this year.

Trojans face unknown opponent in Fairmont
WORTHINGTON -- After three weeks of practice, the Worthington Trojan football team will finally take the field for its season opener at 7 p.m. tonight in Fairmont.
"I think the first game you're really anxious every year," Worthington head coach Dennis Hale said. "You wait and you wait for that first game, you practice three weeks and it seems like it takes forever."
Worthington has not played Fairmont recently, and because the Cardinals have a new coaching staff Hale said he doesn't know what to expect tonight.
"We haven't played them now in a while in the regular season," Hale said. "They have a new coach, so it's one of those opening games where we don't know much about them, and if it was the same coach they had when we played them in the past, we would have a little bit of an idea. But with a new staff, we have to go find out."
Hale said that preparing for tonight's game has been more difficult because of the lack of scouting the team has been able to do.
"It's easier when you've scouted people, after this we'll exchange film each week, and so you have the previous game," Hale said. "But everybody changes a little bit. You get their basic package and practice against their formations. The first week's game is always a little tougher."
For the Trojans, two keys will be turnovers and penalties.
"We have to make sure that we eliminate turnovers and cause a few," Hale said. "(We have to) avoid the penalties."
Hale said the team is ready to go, but hopes that they aren't too nervous when they take the field in Fairmont.
"I always worry about being too ready that first game, of just being nervous," Hale said. "We have to be in the right frame of mind. But you don't want to be so nervous that you forget your assignments."
Worthington's first test came in a scrimmage last weekend in Mankato.
"We weren't the dominant team by any means, but we moved the ball pretty good on offense," Hale said. "Defensively, I thought we started out pretty poor, but we got better as the day went on. We left the field healthy, and probably in the right frame of mind -- the things that we saw needed correcting were correctible."
After the scrimmage, Hale said that a small adjustment in the defensive line and reevaluating some personnel decisions would be made before tonight's game.
But for Hale, the best part was what didn't happen -- injuries.
"The main thing is that we came back healthy," Hale said. "I think that's always No. 1. You don't want to lose some kid in that glorified practice."
Even with the unknown that lays ahead Hale said he looks forward to this time of the year.
"But now is the fun time of the year," Hale said. "Games start and it just seems like the Fridays just fly by and the season is over."

Wonderful Crossing on the QM2: Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Cruise Review by rwlid
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful Crossing on the QM2
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Other
We arrived at the cruise terminal (QEII) in Southampton around 11.30 and as we had priority as Queens Grill passengers we were quickly checked in. We were then shown into a large embarkation hall and told to wait for our number to be called. The Cunard representative in fact missed the fact that we were priority boarders and when we questioned it, we were shown to another area. In the end total embarkation time was just over half an hour and we were in our stateroom just after 12pm.
Our stateroom was very impressive and in fact the best accommodation we have ever had on any passenger vessel. It was incredibly spacious and the separate area for luggage was most welcome so that we could hide away all the luggage and associated clutter. We also used our balcony quite often as the weather was generally More good.
The Butler service was brilliant and Edwin could not do enough for us. We had breakfast in our room for all but two mornings and were able to order tea, coffee and snacks at anytime. Food overall in all the restaurant locations we tried was excellent. Most times we ate in the Queens Grill for dinner and had lunch in the Golden Lion Pub or the food court. We also had dinner in our room one evening and also tried high tea in the Queens Lounge a couple of times which is highly recommended. The only downside was trying to get an acceptable quiet table in the Queens Grill. Initially we had tables close to a waiter station or next to a squeaking door. I cannot say the Maitre d" was particularly helpful, but in the end we found somewhere reasonable. I believe this issue was exacerbated by the ship initially coming from Hamburg where 1000 German passengers embarked - good tables were therefore at a premium.
The formal nights were enjoyable and we made the most of the opportunity of dressing up. The entertainment was varied and we particularly enjoyed the talks by the various experts in their field and the RADA shows.
The crossing itself was very calm and for most of the time the Atlantic was like a mill-pond. The weather was also very warm and the various swimming pools were in use for at least half of the crossing. Coming into New York and the Brooklyn cruise terminal at around 5.30am was very special and a fitting end to our journey. Our balcony was on the port side of the ship and so we had a wonderful view of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.
Disembarkation at the Brooklyn terminal was painless and we were away around 9am by utilising priority disembarkation. Taxi's seemed in short supply and there were a number of limo drivers touting for business. We eventually got a cab to the Times Square area for a fare half of what the limo drivers were quoting. Our back-up plan would have been to call Northside Cars Brooklyn 7183877520 or 7183872222, who I understand offer a fast reasonable service for pretty much the price of a yellow cab.
Finally it is worth noting that our booking in Queens Grill was made through a US based travel agent and we saved around $2000 in relation to the fares quoted in Australia for the same crossing. The regional pricing policy employed by Cunard/Carnival is in my view absolutely disgraceful and pressure should be brought to bear to encourage them to stop it. If the Australian fares had been only available to us we would just not have booked and instead arranged a business class fare from London to New York and some extra days in New York City. Less

text: Operating ExpensesOperating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2011, increased 0.7% to $20.1 million from $19.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cost of services and products increased 3.9% to $11.0 in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, from $10.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010. A non-recurring accrual for the Universal Service Fund costs, start-up network costs in New Hampshire, and increased employee and benefit costs accounted for the $0.4 million increase in this category. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3.0% to $3.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $3.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily related to increased employee and benefit costs. Depreciation and amortization for first quarter 2011 decreased 5.9% to $5.7 million from $6.1 million in first quarter 2010. Amortization of intangible assets associated with the Country Road acquisition decreased $0.3 million, including contract and customer base intangible assets. The remaining decrease of $0.1 million reflected lower depreciation of plant assets in Alabama partially offset by an increase in depreciation in Missouri. Interest Expense Interest expense increased 3.0% to $6.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, from $6.0 million a year ago. The increase in interest expense is primarily driven by interest on the additional senior subordinated notes issued in the exchange of our Class B shares that occurred in June 2010. Change in Fair Value of Derivatives As a requirement of the existing senior debt, the Company has two interest rate swap agreements intended to hedge changes in interest rates on its senior debt. The swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting under the technical requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 815. Changes in value for the two swaps are reflected in change in the fair value of derivatives on the income statement and have no impact on cash. Over the life of the swaps, the change in value will be zero, with no impact on Adjusted EBITDA or operations. The value of the swap liability decreased $0.5 million in first quarter 2011 compared to an increase in the value of the swap liability of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Pediatricians are physicians who practice in the medical speciality pediatrics
Training of pediatriciansEdit
The training of pediatricians varies considerably across the world.
- Main article: education
Like other medical practitioners, pediatricians begin their training with an entry-level medical education: a tertiary-level course, undertaken at a medical school attached to a university. Such a course leads to a medical degree.
Depending on jurisdiction and university, a medical degree course may be either undergraduate-entry or graduate-entry. The former commonly takes five or six years, and has been usual in the Commonwealth. Entrants to graduate-entry courses (as in the USA), usually lasting four or five years, have previously completed a three- or four-year university degree, commonly but by no means always in sciences. Medical graduates hold a degree specific to the country and university in and from which they graduated. This degree qualifies that medical practitioner to become licensed or registered under the laws of that particular country, and sometimes of several countries, subject to requirements for "internship" or "conditional registration".
Within the United States, the term physician also describes holders of the Doctor of Osteopathic medicine (D.O.) degree. For further information on osteopathic medicine, see the entry on the comparison of MD and DO in the US.
Pediatricians must undertake further training in their chosen field. This may take from three to six or more years, depending on jurisdiction and the degree of specialization. The post-graduate training for a primary care physician, including primary care pediatricians, is generally not as lengthy as for a hospital-based medical specialist.
In most jurisdictions, entry-level degrees are common to all branches of the medical profession, but in some jurisdictions, specialization in pediatrics may begin before completion of this degree. In some jurisdictions, pediatric training is begun immediately following completion of entry-level training. In other jurisdictions, junior medical doctors must undertake generalist (unstreamed) training for a number of years before commencing pediatric (or any other) specialization. Specialist training is often largely under the control of pediatric organizations (see below) rather than universities, with varying degrees of government input, depending on jurisdiction.

Berlin (Aug. 5)
The Heinrich Heine monument has been removed from its place of honor in the city park in Hamburg, following a decision of the Nazi state officials, it was reported here today.
Anti-Heine agitation has been conducted throughout the country in recent weeks. One Berlin paper declared that if the former Kaiser had not been so fond of Heine's works and had not liked to mingle with Jews Germany would not have had its revolution in 1918.

Anuttara Yoga
Inspired by the design of an Indian temple—replete with vibrant fabrics dangling from the ceiling—Anuttara Yoga had no trouble catching the attention of New Times Broward-Palm Beach, which hailed it as the Best Yoga Studio of 2012. The studio encompasses nearly 8,000 square feet, including two 1,600-square-foot yoga rooms that accommodate a variety of heated and un-heated class types.
The recently remodeled Kula Room, with its spacious floor plan, minimal decor, and infrared heat lamps, stays at a balmy 85 degrees during nonheated classes such as yoga barre. The dimly lit Grand Tapas Hall, however, facilitates deeper stretching with a thermostat set to a sweat-inducing 95 degrees. This higher temperature loosens muscles, expels toxins, and thaws ancestors preserved in ice during 90-minute hot-yoga classes.
When they aren't teaching yoga classes, the studio's 25 certified instructors pass on their knowledge to apprentices in training rooms and a well-stocked library. Other amenities include spa-like bathrooms with showers and a boutique area lined with yoga accessories and apparel.

Release info
Release notes
Note for PHP4 users: HTML Purifier has officially dropped support for PHP4 entirely, so we no longer support this module on PHP4 either.
(This is a bugfix release for 5.x-1.2, fixing a fatal error on the configure page with early versions of HTML Purifier. Otherwise, it is identical to 5.x-1.2)
Barring any major bugs or security problems, this is the last release for Drupal 5.x. There were some complaints about not being able to do essentials such as restrict allowed tags, and the whatnot, so I bolted on, using Drupal's forms API, some extra configuration options for you all to fiddle around with. Namely:
- Allowed HTML elements and attributes
- Forbidden HTML elements and attributes (requires HTML Purifier 3.1.0rc1 or later!)
- Autoparagraphing and linkification (enabled by default)
Also, those of you who didn't follow my advice and uninstall/reinstall HTML Purifier when we released 5.x-1.1 will be happy to know that the installer will now take care of that automatically (untested for PostgreSQL, though, although it should work.) Also, there's a minor bugfix with regards to the YouTube filter.
Once again, keep your eyes peeled for a Drupal 6.x release, which will probably be synchronized with HTML Purifier 3.1.0 final and will let access all of HTML Purifier's configuration directives as well as improved user-friendliness.
The selected release is the release that will be used for automated testing. Optional projects are only used for testing.
No required projects

About the Book
(12x12 inch wedding album)
It was a great priviledge for me to be asked to photograph the wedding of my niece Diane McGarry of Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland to Michael Bourn of Scottsdale, Arizona, USA on 11th September 2010.
The wedding took place in the town of Limoux in the Languedoc - Roussillon region of southern France and it was a fabulous weekend.
I wish them both health, happiness and a long life together.

The intitial LCD text implementation is currently only in software and
can't be used on OpenGL surfaces. OpenGL surfaces therefore cannot use
it - accelerated or not. We need to implement this support.
This fix was integrated into Mustang b77, but I forgot to update this bug
report with the exact system property that enables the new codepath:
-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true -Dsun.java2d.opengl.lcdshader=true
As mentioned above, there were two outstanding driver bugs when this fix
was integrated: artifacts on ATI boards, and poor performance on Nvidia boards.
Since then, both bugs have been fixed by their respective driver teams and
we are currently testing those fixes. The ATI fix should be available in their
8.26 release (for Linux, not sure how that correlates to their Windows Catalyst
driver version) in a couple months, and the Nvidia fix should be
available in their 85.xx series in a similar timeframe. Once both driver fixes
are publicly available and verified, we should be able to enable the lcdshader
flag by default (again, only if the OGL pipeline has been enabled).
Just to clarify my last point, if you enable the OGL pipeline, the LCD
acceleration codepath will be disabled by default. You will have to enable
both system properties to enable LCD acceleration for the OGL pipeline.
I've attached a simple performance test (LCDTextTest.java) that I've used to
measure LCD text performance. I ran this test on a number of machines with
shader-level hardware, and the results are all over the map. I've included
these performance numbers below. In these results, the numbers indicate the
number of milliseconds taken to render a particular test string (about 35
characters long, in 12 point font) 10000 times, so lower is better.
def - "default pipeline" (GDI/DDraw on Windows, X11 on Linux/Solaris)
ogl - "OGL pipeline" (-Dsun.java2d.opengl=True)
mono - black/white text (TEXT_ANTIALIAS_OFF)
gray - grayscale AA text (TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON)
lcd - LCD optimized text (TEXT_ANTIALIAS_LCD_HRGB)
awt - render directly to the screen
swing - render to the Swing backbuffer (pbuffer in the case of OGL)
(swing-fbo) - render to the Swing backbuffer, which is an FBO
(-Dsun.java2d.opengl.fbobject=true); only applicable when
OGL is enabled

Points of interest:
- Performance improves significantly on newer boards (those with better
shader support).
- Performance is terrible on Nvidia when rendering to an FBO (on all
platforms) or to a pbuffer/render-to-texture surface (on Windows only);
this is a performance issue with glCopyTexSubImage2D(), which has been
filed with Nvidia this morning (#216273). May be related to some other
glCopyPixels() issues that are discussed in JDK bugid 6298234.
- It is interesting that Nvidia GF 6800 (PCI-Express) does not exhibit
any of those performance issues, presumably because the readback bus
speeds are much faster with PCI-E than AGP, so driver slow paths that
go to sysmem are likely to be less noticeable (I've asked Nvidia about
- ATI does not have those same performance issues with FBO, although their
glCopyTexSubImage2D() performance is generally worse than that of Nvidia
on comparable hardware, so I will follow up with ATI about that.
- ATI has a bug in glCopyTexSubImage2D() that causes LCD text to look
garbled (when rendered to a pbuffer or FBO destination only); that bug
will be filed with ATI shortly.
Out of all of these configurations, there are only two where LCD text is
faster with the OGL pipeline: Nvidia Quadro FX 1100 on Solaris 10, and
Nvidia GeForce 6800 on WinXP. Due to this fact and the other issues listed
above, I suggest we check this code in now, but disabled by default (it can
be enabled by a system property, TBD). This will give us some time to shake
out the driver issues, and then once those are resolved we can turn this on
by default at a later date.
The fix for this has been in progress for at least six months because there
have been a number of technical hurdles along the way (lots of investigation
of fragment shader performance, finding sneaky ways to avoid expensive pow()
calls in the shader, etc). At this point, I have a fairly complete implementation
that uses a GLSL fragment shader, and depending on which video card is used,
it can be about as fast as, or up to 30% faster than the equivalent operation
using software loops. In fact, shader performance has been improving so much
in recent graphics hardware that I would expect this gap to grow larger and
larger over time.
Due to time constraints, I've only made this work for
hardware that supports the GL_ARB_fragment_shader extension, i.e. there is no
software fallback (it would be really slow anyway, as it would require readbacks
from the framebuffer into system memory), so for older boards we will continue
to just use grayscale AA as we've done up until this point in Mustang. Also,
this shader-based implementation only works when the foreground color is opaque,
but this should be sufficient for 99% of all cases.

Students give back to community
Teacher T.J. Klim and his Grade 5 class collected more than 250 food items and 30 bags of clothing for the Abbotsford Food Bank and the Salvation Army.
Teacher T.J. Klim's Grade 5 class at Upper Sumas elementary wanted to give back to their community and did so in the form of a food, clothing and blanket drive.
The students collected more than 250 non-perishable food items, and more than 30 bags of clothing and blankets were donated by families of the school.
All food was donated to the Abbotsford Food Bank, and the other items went to the Salvation Army.
Klim has been teaching the students about generosity in their Personal Planning class, and this was their project for the unit.
They made flyers and posters and challenged each class at the school to bring in as many items as they could.
Klim's students collected the items each day, eventually building a pile around the class Christmas tree.

- Ouachita Parish, Louisiana
Charge people who crop their dogs ears at home with animal cruelty
Cropping an animals ears is a cosmetic procedure that should always be done by a licensed vet under anesthesia. It should never be done in someones home as they hold their dog down and do it. With no proper equipment for sterilization or treating the wound.
It is CRUEL and very painful for the dog. Bully breeds do not show pain the way other breeds do so when someone says it did not hurt they do not understand the way a bully breed handles pain. It hurt to do that to any dog.
To hold a dog down and chop their ears off at home is animal cruelty. You are withholding vet care at that point. The dog should be seen by a vet immediately to be sure infection does not set in.
Cropping a dogs ears at home can cause infection, pain, excessive bleeding, and even death.

Charge people who crop their dogs ears at home with animal cruelty. This act is extremely painful for the animal and should only be performed by a licensed veterinarian.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here are 10 things you should know for Friday, April 12: 1. -- U.S. stock futures were indicating that the S&P 500 would pull back from all-time highs despite an earnings beat from JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) and ahead of a report from Wells Fargo ( WFC).
2. -- The economic calendar in the U.S. Friday includes the Producer Price Index for March at 8.30 a.m. EDT, retail sales for March, also at 8:30 a.m., and the University of Michigan Sentiment Index at 9:55 a.m.
3. -- U.S. stocks on Thursday rose as new claims for jobless benefits fell for the first time in four weeks and investors continued to bet on equities emboldened by expectations that central banks worldwide will maintain policies to bolster their economies. The S&P 500 gained 0.36% to close at 1,593.37 after the index shattered its intraday record of 1,576.09 set in October 2007. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.42% to finish at 14,865.14 after touching a record intraday high of 14,887.51 late morning. The Nasdaq gained 0.09% to 3,300.16.
4. -- JPMorgan Chase ( JPM) said Friday that first-quarter profit rose 33% year over year on the back of higher revenue and improving credit quality in its consumer banking business. The New York banking giant reported record net income for the first quarter of $6.5 billion, or $1.59 a share, compared with earnings of $4.92 billion, or $1.19 a share, in the first quarter of 2012. Revenue for the first quarter was $25.85 billion, down 3% year over year, but up 6% from the fourth quarter. Analysts expected earnings of $1.39 per share on revenue of $25.86 billion.
5. -- Wells Fargo ( WFC), which is No. 4 in assets, is expected by analysts on Friday to report first-quarter profit of 88 cents a share. The bank earned 75 cents a share in the year-earlier quarter. Profits have risen the last three quarters at Wells Fargo, including a gain of 24% in the fourth quarter.
6. -- J.C. Penney ( JCP) has hired bankers at Blackstone Group ( BX) for advice on how the struggling department-store chain can raise $1 billion in cash, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. One option could be to sell a minority stake in Penney , and the company has reached out to and heard from possible investors including private-equity firms, the people told the newspaper.
7. -- LinkedIn ( LNKD) agreed to pay about $90 million to acquire Pulse, which makes an e-reader platform used on mobile devices. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter.
8. -- Eli Lilly ( LLY) said it will cut hundreds of U.S. sales jobs as it prepares to deal with the loss of patent protection for top-selling drugs Cymbalta and Evista. A spokesman said the job cuts will total less than 1,000 full-time employees.
