Raytheon's RACR low-cost AESA upgrade radar for tactical aircraft is now ready for installation in the F-16 Fighting Falcon and awaiting its first order. The sensor draws on the technology used in Raytheon's latest fighter radars, the APG-63 AESA versions in the F-15 Eagle and APG-79 in newer F/A-18E/F Super Hornets.
RACR is a scaleable radar primarily aimed at new-build or upgraded F-16s, but is also applicable to other combat aircraft such as "legacy" F/A-18 models. The radar has been developed to use existing power and cooling supplies, and to be installed without any major airframe modifications. F-16 integration testing began at Lockheed Martin's system integration laboratory at Fort Worth last November.
Raytheon is keen to stress the reliability offered by AESA over traditional models. Maintenance data is only just becoming available for the Super Hornet fleet, but early indications show a dramatic increase in reliability for the APG-79 over the mechanically scanned APG-73 radar. Raytheon suggests that the acquisition costs of the RACR could easily be clawed back through greatly reduced maintenance, saving the customer money in the long run while dramatically improving radar capability.

When it comes to his political future, Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is keeping his "options open," he says. But one option he already wants off the table? Being Speaker of the House.
During a luncheon in San Antonio on Thursday, the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee cited his family as the primary reason he wouldn't be interested in succeeding House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
"When Janna and I joined [Mitt Romney's White House] ticket, we looked at, 'What would this do to our family?'" he said, according to Politico. "We realized that actually, we would see each other more in the vice presidency than as a member of the House.
"We would see each other less in the speakership than as a member of the House," he concluded.
Ryan, who chairs the House Budget Committee, won accolades from both parties recently after he presented a rare bipartisan budget plan. During the Q&A Thursday, he said he's happier spending his days "on policy."
"The speaker is expected to fly around the country on weekends as well, helping folks," Ryan said. "I'm not going to do that. I'm four days a week in D.C. and three days a week in Janesville. It's a good mix, I like that mix."One tea party group recently mounted a campaign to replace Boehner as speaker, pointing to his support for the two-year budget agreement as evidence that he's "stabbing conservatives in the back."

An expectant Heidi Klum was spotted playing with her three children – Leni, 5, Henry, 3 ½, and Johan, 2 ½ – at Coldwater Canyon Park in Beverly Hills on Monday (July 27). At one point, little Leni had to help mom get up which made Heidi laugh. The Project Runway host and her hubby Seal are expecting their fourth child – a girl – in October.
Reportedly, the 36-year-old supermodel sparked a water balloon war between parents and members of the paparazzi earlier this month when the snappers refused to leave her and her kids alone during a visit to a NYC playground. Fellow parents at the playground were not pleased with the prying shutterbugs and asked them to leave. When the paps ignored their requests, the angry parents began pelting them with water bombs, forcing Klum to flee the chaos. Could it have been this outing that caused all the commotion?

Even though the Samsung Galaxy S2 totally has the hardware to rock it, it will be now safe to assume that this ex-Samsung flagship is never going to see an Android 4.3 OTA update. However, that just doesn't mean that the Samsung Galaxy S2 owners are going to be stuck on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean forever. Thanks to the folks over at Carbon AOSP ROM, an Android 4.3 ROM which is specifically made by handpicking special features from ROMs like CyanogenMod, AOKP and ParanoidAndroid, there is now a stable Android 4.3 ROM available for Samsung Galaxy S2.
Before beginning with the whole flashing process, you first need to ensure that you satisfy the following points.
- This method is only applicable to the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S2(GT-I9100) only. Applying this method on any other device might lead the device being bricked or damage that is very hard to repair. If you are unsure about your device's model number, you can check it easily, by going to Settings menu and then tapping the About Phone option.
- Make sure to backup all of your data. We can not stress this part enough. Even though there are very light chances that anything will ever go wrong with your Samsung Galaxy S2 during the flashing process, it is always better to be safer than to be sorry.
- Ensure that your Samsung Galaxy S2 is already rooted and has ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery installed on it.
Now that all of the above has been taken care of, let us begin with the whole flashing business.
How To Flash Android 4.3 ROM On Samsung Galaxy S2
Step 1: Download Carbon AOSP Android 4.3 Jelly Bean ROM for Samsung Galaxy S2 and Google Apps package from here and here respectively.
Step 2: Connect your Samsung Galaxy S2 to your PC through USB and copy the files that you just downloaded your phone's SD card. Make sure that you copy these files to the root folder only and nowhere else.
Step 3: Switch off your Samsung Galaxy S2 and boot it into recovery mode by holding the Volume Up and Home buttons together and then tapping the Power button simultaneously till a green robot shows up on the screen.
Step 4: Perform the following steps in CWM recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache.
- Now wipe dalvik cache by going to "advanced".
- Finally, format system by going to "mounts and storage"
Step 5: While still in CWM recovery, click on 'Install Zip from SD card' option and select the ROM file which you copied in Step 2 earlier. Sit back and let your Samsung Galaxy S2 do its work till the ROM, is installed.
Step 6: Perform Step 5 once again, but this time select Google Apps file.
Step 7: Now restart your Samsung Galaxy S2 by hitting the 'Reboot System Now' option. Once the system boots into new ROM, go to Settings>About phone to check the Android version.
Step 8: Brag in the comment section about your Samsung Galaxy S2 running on Android 4.3 ROM.

From your photographs it appears that you have a small depressed scar on the nose that would benefit from a soft tissue filler such as Restylane. The overlying redness could be improved with a laser targeting the red color, but if this is relatively close to your treatment much of the redness will fade with time. The Restylane is temporary, but this allows you to see if the results are to your liking before you proceed further to a more permanent solution. Best of luck, Vincent Marin, MD

San Francisco >> A San Francisco Superior Court judge has ruled Monterey County will be allowed to challenge the validity of the agreements at the heart of the failed regional desalination project.
Judge Curtis Karnow ruled Tuesday that the county can file a cross-complaint in the lawsuit aimed at unraveling the three-way partnership backing the $400 million desal project, which fell apart in the wake of revelations regarding former county water board member Steve Collins' dual role on the proposal.
County Counsel Charles McKee hailed the ruling by Karnow, which essentially agreed with the county's argument that the statute of limitations on challenging the project agreements due to Collins' conflict of interest had not yet expired. The county has argued the agreements were voided by Collins' actions.
Karnow gave the county six days to file its cross-complaint in the lawsuit, which was initially filed by California American Water in an effort to seek a court ruling on whether the project agreements were still valid and who should be responsible for tens of millions spent on the proposal. Cal Am has since allied with the county, and has reached a pending settlement agreement that includes repayment of up to $3.5 million in the county's project costs and an agreement by the county not to attempt enforcement of its requirement that all desal plants be publicly owned against Cal Am's new proposed desal project.
Marina Coast Water District attorneys had argued the project agreements were still valid and could not be challenged because the 60-day statute of limitations had expired. Karnow ruled that a four-year statute of limitations applied because of the Collins conflict.
Collins pleaded no contest last month to a conflict of interest charge, among other charges, for accepting $160,000 from Marina Coast Water District consultant RMC Water and Environment for work he did during 2010 helping create and promote the regional project.

BUG - Outlook 2010 'send as' permissions - Workaround within
issue : when a user attempts to 'send as' another mailbox, the email fails with Undeliverable message: "You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you're sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission. If the problem continues, please contact your helpdesk ".
This error only occurs once the email address has been cached (ie: 2nd attempt to 'send as' a user). Permissions are correct as 'send as' worked fine when using outlook 2007. upgrading a client to outlook 2010 results in the above error.
scope : outlook 2010 clients with exchange 2007/2010 (appears to be client related, not exchange server). windows updates as of 22-dec-2010 have not resolved this.
workaround : Cached Exchange Mode is ENABLED. Disabling this and restarting outlook resolves this issue. (Outlook 2010 > File > Account settings > Account settings... > double click the default account on the 'EMAIL' tab > untick 'used cached exchange mode'.)
i hope this helps other people; i've been googling for a resolution to this issue since beta/RC. now i've got office 2010 RTM the issue was still present. no forums/blogs could shed light on this issue.
Is this the correct way to report bugs, or is there another way? i've tried connect.microsoft.com, but theres no "accepting bugs" for the outlook/office suite.

1) looks like you have an issue with the DC plesae check it
2) restart the information store and system attendant to speed it.
3) send as is managed using send as permissions in the EMC http://technet.microsoft.c

dont amend the settings in active directory for exchange 2010 servers. use the exchange management console> recipient config>mailbox and use 'manage send as permission' in the right pane.

SatyaPathak: :
I already tick the checkbox to inherit all the permissions from the parent , now for those who
are members of any protected group , this check box keep un-ticked again every 15 min ,
active directory keep synchronize these permissions with adminsdholder .
anyway my problem are still open , hope it solved .
wait something
by: totallytontoPosted on 2010-06-08 at 04:28:40ID: 32940992
Hi Exchisa,
Many, many apologies, as I mis-read your query and missed the vital bit of info (serves me right for reading it on my mobile...)
I'm afraid you are a bit stuck. Members of the protected groups are automatically reset to the approved permissions at regular intervals as a security measure.
I'm afraid you are not going to be able to use the 'send as' facility on any member of such a group.
Either move the user to another group or change the e-mail address to suit your needs.
Lets say you want to 'send as' administrator:-
a) change the administrator's email from {firstname.lastname@example.com}
to {email@example.com } and disable automatic recipient policy updates for the user.
b) Create a distribution group for {email@example.com}
and set administrator as a member so they receive messages as they would have before.
c) set the send as permissions on the distribution group {email@example.com}
to allow users to send as, including the administrator user.
This is technically a workaround, not a solution.
by: ExchisaPosted on 2010-06-21 at 08:07:03ID: 33037008
Dear All .
I still stuck to have this feature working perfectly .
Now I don't want to use this feature to enable users to send as by each other , i only want the users on any given group to send by the name of this group , i did not configure any thing in the ADUC snap in , i only configure this feature from the EMC .
i recieve this error from outlook 2010 :
You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you're sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission. If the problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.
I surprised that this feature are working sometimes and sometimes not (this is the truth).
does this feature need a CAL like archiving ??
Wait a reply
by: totallytontoPosted on 2010-06-21 at 08:39:56ID: 33037354
No you do not need a CAL for this.
Is the mailbox that you are sending as still a member of a protected group in AD?
If yes, send as permissions will be reset at random intervals and cannot be changed as long as the user is a member of the protected group.
by: ExchisaPosted on 2010-07-25 at 15:37:57ID: 33285888
totallytonto : I leave configure this from the EMC , instead , i use the ACL for that group in AD , in order to enable SEND AS , just tick the send as permission
had the same problem, took me two hours to solve!

Let's get back to the base scenarios.
1: Doorbell & Mr. Nasty being abnoxious at my door. Perhaps pounding and kicking it. I won't display anything until he either approaches a window or manages to force the door. By that time, hopefully, my 1911 has covered my retreat to the bedroom to fetch the 12gauge.
is what I want him to see -- not me holding something like a .25 caliber mouse gun.
2: Parking lot intercept. I too have BTDT and got the T-shirt. Now I'll have to break with most opinions here and say something different.
Carrying in a public place does several things. But I think the most important one is that
it allows you to look a potential perp in the eye with the look of the hunter, not the prey
. I've noticed that when I'm carrying I tend to watch potential threats and look them in the eye more so that when I'm unarmed. This is tantamount to yelling "I see you, dirtbag, and I'm not letting my guard down!" and they can see it. I have no doubt that this alone has caused several losers to seek easier victims.
In a parking lot scenario, I'll change my direction to see if the perp also changes to intercept. At that stage, if he does, the body turns the strong side hip away from him, right foot back, knees flexed, hand starting the reach while the offhand starts low, palm out and rises with my voice commanding "Stay back!" If he continues to advance in a meanacing fashion, I'll likely move back just a tad before using him as a JHP test target.

Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense) is a tall (two-four feet) perennial herbaceous plant. Leaves are large with sharp, spiny edges. Flowers are bright or deep purple, bristly clusters and bloom continuously through the summer. Mature flower heads produce thousands of small, feathery seeds and are easily dispersed by wind.
This plant is native to Eurasia and North Africa. In the 1600s it was introduced in the United States, most likely by accident, in a seed or crop mixture. Canada thistle easily establishes itself in disturbed areas with exposed soil. These areas include old building sites, gravel pits, and roadsides. Beaver ponds are also excellent breeding grounds for this species.
Many biological factors make Canada thistle a successful invader. Sharp, spiny leaves discourage animals from eating.Deep, horizontal roots, up to 12' long, can easily out-compete native plants for water. One plant can produce thousands of seeds annually, which are easily spread by birds and wind. Seeds can also remain dormant in the soil for 20 years.
Voyageurs National Park recognizes the negative effects canada thistle has on the ecosystem.Resource managers are taking steps to eliminate this plant from the park.The most effective removal method is herbicide application.
How you can help:
Please help us prevent the spread of canada thistle in Voyageurs National Park. Inform a park naturalist if you find this plant within the park.

The global rating agency, Fitch has affirmed the AA- (nga) rating of Guaranty Trust Bank for the fifth consecutive year.
A statement by GTBank said coming on the heels of unprecedented reforms witnessed in the Nigerian banking industry, the rating further reaffirms GTBank's increasing relevance in the national, regional and global economy.
It is also a reflection of the bank's stability and reputation of being a well established franchise with strong asset quality and consistent excellent financial performance, it said.
In its published report, Fitch recognised that overall levels of economic activity in Nigeria have slowed; the agency however, considered that GTBank's strong franchise should underpin a core level of earnings momentum.
Despite the significantly higher impairment charges incurred by the bank in Q309, Fitch considered GTBank's asset quality indicators and coverage ratios to be acceptable and in line with other highly rated domestic peers. Guaranty Trust Bank reported Non-Performing Loans and coverage ratios of 3.7 per cent (FYE08: 1.8 per cent) and 1.44x (FYE08: 1.19x) at Quarter 3, 2009 respectively. Loan growth was rapid during FYE08 with gross loans up an annualised 54.5 per cent, with certain sectors at higher levels of growth. The bank's loan book remains concentrated in its exposure to the general commerce, manufacturing and construction sectors.
Speaking on the new ratings, the bank's Managing Director, Tayo Aderinokun, said the rating only goes to show the bank's consistency over the years and commitment to its core principles of ensuring good corporate governance and efficiency across all its business operations.

Like many soon-to-be moms, I had a completely over-romanticized idea of what life would be like after my daughter was born. Maybe it was all of those unrealistic baby lotion and diaper commercials featuring a well-rested mommy, with an adorable, sleeping, bundle of joy nestled into her bosom.
And like many women, I quickly learned that motherhood is really hard – and sometimes downright torturous.
As a new mom to a colicky baby girl who screamed all the time, I'd get well-meaning, but totally unsolicited, advice from random strangers.
"Cherish every minute. It will be over before you know it," warned an elderly woman in my local Placentia grocery store one afternoon.
From my bleary-eyed state of exhaustion, it wasn't exactly what I needed or wanted to hear. And right there, in the bread aisle, I burst into tears.
Like many worn down and overwhelmed moms, I felt guilty about everything. Admitting that things were less than perfect wasn't something I was ready to do.
I was in the trenches of motherhood and I couldn't see out.
Even now, with two little girls under the age of 5, being a mom is still hard work. Over time, I've resigned to lower my expectations and not be so hard on myself. As women, we are always our own worst critic, and parenting is no exception.
This Mother's Day, I wanted to recognize my sisters-in-arms – the not-so-perfect moms like me, with not-so-perfect kids running them ragged.
So here's to you, the gals with babies on your hips and spit-up in your hair. I know you are worn-out, overwhelmed, and exhausted. I bring good news from the motherhood front. As it turns out, that little old lady at the grocery store was right. It sure does happen quickly. The trick is to see the beauty in that.
Although impossible to imagine, this won't last forever. Hang in there, because it does get better. And from one mother to another, Happy Mother's Day.
Solidarity, sister.

"Karma Chameleon" singer Boy George has been banned in the US.
The Department of Immigration denied issuing a visa because George, 48, faces trial in London on charges of false imprisonment.
George O'Dowd a.k.a. Boy George was charged last November with a false imprisonment following a complaint from a 28-year-old man in East London April 2007, UK police stated.
The singer is free on unconditional bail and is not barred from traveling, having scheduled a series of US club dates during the summer.
"George is astounded at the decision and is having his lawyers here in the States look at it in the hope that someone will change their mind," his management said in an issued statement.
George was hoping to perform for the New York City Department of Sanitation workers to thank them for his treatment while fulfilling street cleaning duties stemming from a community service sentence.
Guess Immigration honchos do really want to hurt him . . .

Lies, Damned Lies
Beaten Down by PECOTA
Will Carroll, Paul Swydan and I were batting around various types of BP-branded All-Star teams on our internal listserv this week--look for more of these coming soon--and naturally the idea of an All-PECOTA team came up. The idea is to identify those players who have most exceeded their PECOTA projections ("Beat PECOTA"), as measured by actual VORP, less VORP as projected in the very last iteration of our preseason depth charts. In some cases, these will be players who had ridiculous fluke seasons, in others, guys who made some important changes in their game, and in others still, players whom PECOTA went short on and simply got burned. We'll also want to look, of course, at those players who most underperformed their PECOTAs--what I call the Beaten Down by PECOTA Team.
The PECOTA All-Star teams don't include any pitchers. Pitchers have unexpected seasons all the time--that's the nature of the beast--but usually the stories behind them aren't very interesting: "he was hit-lucky," "he blew out his labrum," "Leo Mazzone." I'd rather explore the hitters in more detail than put out a series of bullet points. I'm aware that the season is not quite over; VORP figures are taken through Sunday night's games.
It's been a rough year for catchers. One of the more telling statistics that I've seen this season is the one that was flashed on the U.S. Cellular scoreboard last Tuesday: "
A stroll through our league positional averages reports tells an interesting story. Twenty years ago or so, catchers out-hit shortstops by a fair margin; that's actually been true for most of baseball's history. Now the reverse is the case. Some of that is the presence of players like
With that tangent out of the way, we should give our due to Barrett and LaRue. To think that Cub and Redleg fans thought they had no reason to watch their teams play out the schedule! LaRue's story isn't particularly interesting--a veteran having a modest career year in a down season for the position. Barrett, on the other hand, is one of those players that might "break" PECOTA. As I mentioned in Barrett's player comment in this year's annual, while there's generally nothing important that happens when a player switches organizations, there may be some exceptions. Barrett escaped a toxic environment in Montreal and a manager who didn't believe in him for a notably more stable milieu in Chicago, and has responded by finally living up to his minor-league potential.
Closser was a worthwhile experiment in Colorado, but it's turned out terribly; a .220/.316/.375 batting line for a catcher with marginal defensive abilities would be problematic in Shea Stadium, let alone Coors Field. He's also one of those guys that had a ton of variation in his PECOTA forecast, as is typical for players that reach the majors a bit late--his 90th percentile EqA was .316, and his 10th percentile EqA, .211. As barren as the Rockies' organization is, they can probably afford to give him another 250 PA, but they'll need to have a better contingency plan than
First Base
PECOTA thought very favorably of Lee, giving him a 21.6% breakout rate, though of course his production this season has exceeded even its wildest expectations. The lesson here is that if you're looking for mid-career breakout candidates, the combination of good secondary attributes (speed, defense, body type) and a very clean bill of health is a powerful one. Lee fits this profile perfectly; so do
I won't say much about Jim Thome, other than that the Phillies are going to have one hell of an interesting situation on their hands next spring. Choi's numbers have not been terrible, and the foul there probably belongs with PECOTA, which anticipated a huge breakout. Subjectively speaking, given how Choi's numbers tanked after Dusty Baker gave up on him in Chicago, it's tempting to think about how he might respond from playing most every day, rather than being jerked in and out of the lineup and shuffled from one club to another. On the other hand, he'll be 27 next year, teams have a right to be demanding of their first basemen, and confidence is a skill.
Second Base
A volatile year for second basemen; besides Roberts and Bellhorn,
Bellhorn has fallen into something of a Saberhagen Oscillation, and it says something that the two teams that are probably best equipped to appreciate his skills have punted him. One thing we should look at in the future is whether extreme "Three True Outcomes" players are more-slump prone. I will say this: guys who work extremely deep into the count don't leave themselves a whole lot of margin for error if there's just the slightest tick in their timing. This year, Bellhorn is hitting just .098 with two strikes on him, with strikeouts in 55% of those plate appearances.
Third Base
PECOTA predicted something of a rebound for Ensberg, but he's still managed to blow away his projection. The sudden disappearance and reappearance of his isolated power while his other statistics remained just about the same, looks like it might be an unreported injury. Actually, the other statistic that has fit the pattern are Ensberg's fielding numbers: his FRAA was +9 in 2003, -13 in 2004, and now it's back to +9 in 2005. Third base is a throwing position; it'd be interesting to raid the Minute Maid Park training room and take a look at some shoulder X-rays.
Speaking of shoulder injuries, take a look at how much Scott Rolen struggled as he tried to play through his problems. Mike Lowell doesn't have any such excuses, and has played just about as poorly as you can without getting benched. Although I suggested back at the trade deadline that this might be the beginning of the end for Lowell, I'm not so sure upon closer examination. All the underlying metrics remain the same: his plate discipline, groundball/flyball numbers and speed metrics are about what they've always been. His defense continues to rate well, and he's hit plenty of doubles. It's just that 20 home runs seem to have evaporated; I expect that he'll get about two-thirds of those back next season.
PECOTA just completely whiffed on Young, giving him a 37% collapse rate, and remaining skeptical enough of his power that folks like
That Guzman managed to win his division in spite of a projected batting line of .263/.301/.367 is remarkable; he comes in just ahead of the man who replaced him in Minnesota,
Left Field
My pet theory on Jason Bay, who is developing into one of those multitalented players that PECOTA should treat very favorably going forward, is that players from Canada develop slower than the norm.
Surfer boy Byrnes, on the other hand, who grew up in Redwood City and went to college at UCLA, became utterly lost once he found himself beached thousands of miles from the Pacific. He's hit .280 in the California Republic this season, and .204 everywhere else.
Center Field
I'm not really buying the
Patterson started taking more pitches toward the end of last season, to the extent that I thought he was a real breakout candidate and told friends that I wouldn't trade him straight-up for Andruw Jones (+15.6), even before salary considerations. The Cubs are probably right that he doesn't have a future in Chicago, although that leaves open the question of just how responsible they are for his demise. I'm not talking about "teaching plate discipline," which is probably impossible once a player has hit age 25 or so. But to play Wednesday Morning Armchair Psychologist, it would seem that the Dusty Baker tough love approach is incongruous with a moody player like Patterson; Patterson certainly didn't respond well after his demotion to Iowa. Next year, we'll get
Right Field
There's nothing all that interesting about Jenkins' season. Like J.D. Closser, Jenkins had a relatively volatile projection, with breakout and collapse rates both around 20%, the latter because an injury-prone corner outfielder having a down season as Jenkins did in 2004 can sometimes be a bad sign (think

BIO Biography
Scottish biologist and inventor Alexander Firming is widely regarded for his 1928 discovery of penicillin, a drug that is used to kill harmful bacteria. His work on immunology, bacteriology, and chemotherapy is considered groundbreaking and highly influential.
Early Life and Education :
Born in Ayrshire, Scotland on August 6, 1881 to Hugh Fleming and Grace Stirling Morton, Alexander Fleming was the third of the four children. He attended medical school in London, England and graduated in 1906. Fleming assisted in battlefield hospitals in France during World War I (1911-1918), where he observed that some soldiers, despite surviving their initial battlefield wounds, were dying of septicemia or some another infection only after a few years.
Contributions and Achievements :
Once the war was over, Fleming looked for medicines that would heal infections.The antiseptics of World War I were not totally efficient, and they primarily worked on a wound's surface. Spraying an antiseptic made things even worse if the wound was deep.
Fleming came back to his laboratory in 1928 after a long vacation. He carried out an experiment and left several dishes with several bacteria cultures growing in them. After some time, he observed that some of the dishes were contaminated with a fungus, which ruined his experiment. He was about to discard the dishes, but he noticed that in one dish, the bacteria failed to grow in an area around the fungus.
He successfully isolated the fungus and established it was from the Penicillium group or genus. Fleming made his discovery public in 1929, however to a mixed reaction. While a few doctors thought penicillin, the antibiotic obtained from the Penicillium fungus, might have some importance as a topical antiseptic, the others were skeptical. Fleming was sure that the penicillin could also function inside the body. He performed some experiments to demonstrate that the genus of fungus had germ-killing power, even when it was diluted 800 times. Fleming tried to cultivate penicillin until 1940, but it was hard to grow, and isolating the germ-killing agent was even harder. He was unsure if it would ever work in a proper manner.
Luckily, a German Chemist, Ernst Chain, discovered the process to isolate and concentrate the germ-killing agent in penicillin some time later. Another Australian pharmacologist Howard Florey found out the ways of its mass production. During World War I, the goverments of U.S. and Great Britain funded Florey and Chain, therefore the penicillin almost became the magic spell that cured many diseases. Florey and Chain were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1945.
Personal Life and Death :
Fleming married his first wife, Sarah, who died in 1949. Their only child, Robert Fleming, went on to become a general medical practitioner. Fleming married for the second time to Dr. Amalia Koutsouri-Vourekas, with whom he worked at St.Mary's, on 9 April 1953. She also died in 1986.
Fleming died of a heart failure in London in 1955.

Many Companies Launch New Speakers
There are eight models in the Series 7 line, all of them "timbrally and cosmetically matched so any number of combinations can be created to suit any listening and home-theater environment," according to a Snell announcement. There are two models of two-way bookshelf speakers using single woofers (either 6.5" or 5.25"); an "LCR" (left-center-right) featuring a D'Appolito array with dual 5.25" woofers flanking a 1" silk-dome tweeter; and a full-range tower with two 6.5" woofers (one for bass, the other for mids and lows) and a silk-dome tweeter. The tower sits in a cast aluminum base, stabilized by four integrated feet.
Snell is also offering two powered subwoofers: One, best suited for smaller listening rooms, contains an amplifier rated at 150W. The other features a 300W amp "powerful enough for the most demanding home theaters." All Series 7 speakers feature dual, silver-plated five-way, metal binding posts and are magnetically shielded for use near video monitors. Series 7 models can be special-ordered in most woods and finishes. The most affordable Series 7 speakers will be priced at $1200 a pair.
Canadian manufacturer PSB Speakers has redesigned its Image Series loudspeakers, also with eight models in its lineup. The B15 Monitor is just over 1' high, and combines a 5.25" woofer with a 1" aluminum-dome tweeter; the B25 uses a 6.5" woofer for fuller sound. The T45 Tower has dual 5.25" woofers with the Image tweeter, a "two-and-a-half-way" design said to "provide a smooth response with bass impact equivalent to a substantially larger driver." The T55 Tower couples the Image tweeter with a pair of 6.5" woofers for better low-frequency response; the largest speaker in the series, the T65 Tower, uses three 6.5" woofers and the Image tweeter.
PSB's two center-channel options include the C40, with two 5.25" woofers astride the Image tweeter. The C60 combines dual 6.5" woofers for "full-range, high-output sound, capable of handling loud levels in big rooms." The S50 Bipole Surround combines two identical outward-angled panels that employ a single 5.25" woofer and the Image tweeter. The angling of these two panels outward is said both "to create a diffuse soundfield," and "to aid localization of sound effects."
One big improvement in the performance of the new Image loudspeakers is the use of metalized injection woofer cones rather than the vacuum-formed cones used in the previous line. Injection molding ensures a higher consistency during the manufacturing process, resulting in each driver achieving reference quality performance, according to designer Paul Barton. Further improvements include adjusting the tweeter phase plug to create a smoother high-end response, and adjustments to the crossover network to enhance overall performance across the entire frequency spectrum. Regarding his earlier efforts, Barton noted, "I've found that I can always find new ways to improve upon the design, with regard to both performance and cosmetics. The Image Series was no exception." Image Series speakers are matched timbrally and visually for easy mixing and matching. Cabinets sport a soft curved shape and come in two different finishes - maple with light gray grilles and black ash with black grilles. For use near video monitors, all Image speakers are magnetically shielded.
PSB has also launched seven new models in its high-performance Platinum series: the T8 and T6 towers, the C4 and C2 center channel speakers, the M2 mini-monitor, the S2 bipolar surround, and the SubSonic 10 powered subwoofer. All in the line are visually and timbrally matched for system optimization. Several feature a D'Appolito array for excellent dispersion over large horizontal and vertical spaces.
The magnetically-shielded Platinum Series features midrange drivers with woven fiberglass cones, aluminum front panels, and cabinets in several real wood veneers. The line exceeds the performance of PSB's well-regarded Stratus models, thanks to the use of sophisticated design and measurement techniques with the most advanced tools, such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), laser vibrometry, and computer optimization, according to Barton. "The transparency and dynamics of these speakers is going to get audiophiles talking," Barton says, "As will their pristine midrange and low-frequency impact." The SubSonic 10 powered subwoofer is said to deliver world-class impact, with two 12" high-power, long-throw woofers powered by an internal 500-watt Class H amplifier. Prices range from $1499/pair for the C2 to $6999/pair for the T8.
Another Canadian loudspeaker company, Paradigm Electronics Inc., has unveiled new high-end products. The Signature Series is said to improve upon the company's former top-of-the-line Reference Series, and includes two bookshelf/stand-mounted models, a floorstanding model, two center channels, a surround/rear speaker featuring the company's proprietary ADP (adapted dipole) technology, and a servo-powered subwoofer.
All Signature drivers feature Paradigm's proprietary "Isolation Mounting System/Shock Mount" butyl-rubber driver fastening system, developed to decouple drivers from the speaker enclosure itself. The claimed result is "unsurpassed clarity and resolution of fine detail." The Signature tweeter is a gold-anodized pure-aluminum low-mass "supremely rigid" dome with "lightning speed and transient response." Proprietary "WaveGuide" faceplate technology ensures maximally flat high frequency response with wide dispersion, for a very large listening window. Further refinements include "aperiodic resonance breakup technology" via a set of die-cast aluminum heatsink fins positioned behind the driver, to capture and render inert residual internal resonances. An asymmetrically tapered channel serves as a low-distortion midrange chamber, and Signature bass drivers feature mineral-filled polypropylene cones with huge shielded rare-earth super neodymium magnet structures, 1.5" multi-layer extended voice coils, and die-cast heatsink chassis for high power handling, low distortion, and greater long-term reliability. Signature crossovers use silver-plated oxygen-free copper cable, close tolerance air-core inductors, high-power ceramic resistors, and polypropylene capacitors for "seamlessly integrated reproduction of the original performance," Paradigm announced. Magnetic shielding protects video monitors from color or image distortion.
Paradigm's Signature series includes the S2, a two-driver, two-way mini-monitor priced at $1900–2200/pair, depending on finish. The Signature S4 is a three-driver, "2 1/2" way minimonitor at $2600–3000/pair, depending on finish. The Signature S8 is a six-driver, three-way floorstanding model with four 7" polypropylene bass drivers, outrigger feet, and optional spikes. Price is $5400–6000/pair, depending on finish. The Signature C3 is a four-driver, three-way center channel with two bass drivers, and outrigger feet. Its price is $1500–$1700, depending on finish. A step up is the Signature C5, a six-driver, 3-way center channel with two larger bass drivers. Its price ranges from $2500 to $2800 each, depending on finish. The Signature ADP is a five-driver, three-way surround/rear speaker priced between $2300 and $2700/pair, depending on finish. Signature loudspeakers are available in rosewood, piano black gloss, natural bird's eye maple, and cherry.
Paradigm is also delivering low-frequency thrills via its Signature servo subwoofer, featuring a single 15" driver in a sealed enclosure with a built-in 1200W "ultra-class-D high-current hybrid output" amplifier. Measuring 19.5" high by 18" wide by 21" deep, the Signature sub sells for $3200–3500, depending on finish. Another deep performer is Paradigm's Seismic 12, a compact downward-firing powered sub, with twin 10" woofers and proprietary ultra-class-D amplifier delivering 1200W RMS. Paradigm claims the Seismic 12's amplifier is capable of peak power of 4500W. Inputs include RCA and balanced XLR. Finish is black ash; suggested retail is $1600.
Krell Industries has rolled out new loudspeakers, too. The Resolution 1 is a bi-wireable, four-way floorstander with a 1" dual-concentric-ring tweeter, 4" midrange, 8" mid/woofer, and two 10" aluminum cone woofers. Available now, the Resolution 1 is priced at $11,000/pair. The Resolution 2 is a bi-wireable, three-way floorstanding speaker with 1" tweeter, 6.5" midrange, and two 8" woofers. Price is $8000/pair. The Resolution 3 is a bi-wireable, two-way monitor speaker with a 1" tweeter and an 8" mid-bass driver, priced at $4000/pair. The Resolution C is a $3500 center channel speaker with 1" tweeter, 4" midrange, and two 8" woofers in a sealed cabinet. Krell's Resolution Series speakers are made in a cherry finish.
Resolution Series speakers feature "Lossless Acoustic Transducer" (LAT) technology and robust cabinet construction, including 1" thick MDF (medium density fiberboard) side panels and baffles made of 2" thick MDF to eliminate resonance. Resolution midrange drivers are isolated within their own enclosures. Cabinets feature asymmetrically aligned internal bracing to further increase rigidity, and their curvature helps eliminate internal standing waves. Resolution Series tweeters have integral waveguides for improved dispersion; mid-bass drivers leverage a unique mounting system that decouples the driver frame from the baffle to eliminate sonic coloration. All crossover components are mounted on 1/8" epoxy glass circuit boards. The multiple potted polypropylene capacitors are wired in parallel to minimize inductance and resistance, reducing amplifier strain. Resolution Series crossover networks are said to be engineered to provide "an extremely smooth impedance curve with high efficiency, presenting a predictable, nearly ideal load to the power amplifier." Input terminals are high quality WBT binding posts.
The company will soon begin delivering its Resolution Subwoofer, slated to mate a 15" woofer to an internal, Krell-designed 700W amplifier. Availability is set for late first quarter 2004.

Raleigh, N.C. — Senators expressed skepticism Wednesday over legislation that would provide grants of up to $6,000 a year to families of special-needs students to pay for therapy outside of public schools.
The Senate Education Committee didn't vote on House Bill 269, and Chairman Sen. Jerry Tillman said he wants more information about the cost of the proposal.
The bill, passed last month by the House, sets aside more than $3.6 million in the 2013-14 school year to reimburse families who enroll their special-needs children in private schools for the psychological, speech, occupational or other therapy provided to the students.
The legislation would replace a tax credit for the families of special-needs students that lawmakers approved two years ago.
Co-sponsor Rep. Bert Jones, R-Rockingham, said the bill would help families get children the services they need, help school districts by freeing up resources and help taxpayers by saving money.
Legislative staff said, however, that replacing the tax credit with the scholarships would cost the state at least $2 million a year for the next five years.
"When do we ever get ahead since the public is going to be paying less for these kids than the cost," Tillman said. "We've got to figure out when that trigger is."
Co-sponsor Rep. Paul Stam, R-Wake, said the scholarship program is better than the tax credit since it will be open to more people.
About 620 families claimed the tax credit in 2011, and preliminary estimates for 2012 show 485 families claiming the credit, according to legislative staff.
Sens. Angela Bryant, D-Nash, and Gladys Robinson, D-Guilford, wanted to know who would ensure that the children were receiving the needed services and whether school districts would be held liable if they weren't.
Stam said parents would have to prove to state officials that the services have been provided and that school districts would be completely out of the loop under the proposal.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print ACL injuryACL injuryThe anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments that help stabilize your knee joint. The ACL connects your thighbone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia). It's most commonly torn during sports that involve sudden stops and changes in direction — such as basketball, soccer, tennis and volleyball. An ACL injury is the tearing of the anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament (ACL) — one of the major ligaments in your knee. ACL injuries most commonly occur during sports that involve sudden stops, jumping or changes in direction — such as basketball, soccer, football, tennis, downhill skiing, volleyball and gymnastics. Many people hear or feel a "pop" in the knee when an ACL injury occurs. Your knee may swell, feel unstable and become too painful to bear weight. Depending on the severity of your ACL injury, treatment may include rest and rehabilitation exercises to help you regain strength and stability or surgery to replace the torn ligament followed by rehabilitation. A proper training program may help reduce the risk of an ACL injury. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Symptoms & causes Aug. 04, 2017 Print Share on: FacebookTwitter References Friedberg RP.

Melbourne, June 18 : When staying in hotels, celebrities employ an interesting technique to avoid the press or escape fans - check-in pseudonyms.
Stars come up with the oddest aliases when they want to travel in disguise or break away from their fans.
Actress Kate Beckinsale uses 'Sigourney Beaver' as a fake name when she registers in hotels.
"I check in as Sigourney Beaver," Courier Mail quoted her, as saying.
"It was a spur of the moment thing. When I was first asked my name it just came out. I guess it was because I admire the American actress Sigourney Weaver," she added.
However, Beckinsale revealed that the only trouble is that when she travels with her husband he hates her using the alias.
"He doesn't like it when they call to ask him something and they say, 'Hello, Mr Beaver,'" she said.
When Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were together, they would sometimes use odd aliases when they stayed in hotels.
And their pet pseudonym was Mr and Mrs Ross Vegas.
Hollywood hottie Johnny Depp resorts to 'Mr Stench' when travelling incognito.
"It's hilarious to get a wake-up call at some ludicrous hour, like 5.30am, and the guy has to say, 'Good morning Mr Stench'," he said.

text: autopro Posted August 17, 2010 Hi Everyone ________________________________________ Ok, thanks everyone for taking your time to look at my build thread. Maybe you can give me some input and be part of the build as we go. I was waiting until I actually received the tank to start my build thread. This is coming from a long time of planning. 2 years ago we started building our house and I planned on having a rimless shallow long reef tank since the beginning. The problem was finding a place for it in the house. The tank is 72" long x 15" wide x 14.5" high and it is made of 1/2" glass. This is a rendering of it when I was in the planning stages: And this is from yesterday after they delivered it to my house: I think they did a great job on the tank considering it was built here in Tijuana I also got it drilled for a BeanAnimal Silent and Failsafe Overflow System. In case you don't know what that is check out his tread here: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1310585 It is an excellent thread! These are for the returns. I still have a ton of work to do as you can see from these renderings. Right now there is nothing in that space so the build begins this weekend. I will start with the stand for the tank, that way I can get an idea of the space that I will have available and then start building the sump. The tank will be in a dividing wall from the dining area and the office. I will build an LED fixture into the shelf right above the tank, this will be removable in order to do maintenance on the tank. What you see on the right hand side will be a water feature that faces the main entrance to the house. My wife made a big stink about our previous tank being loud and she said that this one better be silent, I said ok and then decided to go with the BeanAnimal overflow. What I don't understand is that she wanted a water feature on the opposite wall that will make a lot more noise than this tank ever will Share this post Link to post

Hi all,
I'm beating my head against the wall on this one. :headbang:I've recode our HTML/marketing email template every year and always get it to work. The latest iteration works fine everywhere except Outlook 2007 and beyond (of course). I can't figure out what to do do fix it.
You can see it hereThe buttons down the left column are the issue. In Outlook 2007+, those buttons collapse down to where they butt up against each other. I can't make them stop it.
Any suggestions?Greatly appreciate any feedback, I've tried a bunch of stuff and am just stumped.
Have you tried just giving those table cells a height?
One thing I would suggest is you use a valid <!DOCTYPE> such as XHTML 1.0 or HTML 4.01 Transitions just so everything uses a fairly consistent method for rendering the email, I would also recommend you review your code as I can see some room for improvement that would make it easier to maintain.
EDIT: Also while I think about it make sure you always give <img> elements a block level style as it removes the native margin that Lotus Notes and Outlooks gives them when it renders the HTML.
Ralph, Chris, thank you both! that worked it out.

when i was working we carried several protein shakes that were more like "kool-aid". they look like the "sport drinks" but just have protein not carbs. they're not cheap but, not chalky either.
Three year surgiversary
Today is my three year anniversary since having gastric bypass surgery. This time three years ago I weighed 286.6 lbs, though when I started my surgical weight loss journey a year and a half prior to that, I was over 330 lbs; and when I got back on the "band wagon" in March of 2009, I was still in the 330s.
This morning, in my typical post-op life, I started out my day by going to the bathroom, then weighing myself — yes, even before brushing my teeth. 160.2 lbs. Considering I'm in the midst of PMS and am due for my period in a couple of days, I'll happily take that. :)
Then, I took my morning vitamins — the first of four batches of vitamins I take daily.
After that, I had 25g worth of protein via a protein shake.
A couple of hours after that, I had 40g worth of protein via a protein shake.
And for dinner, I had about 8-10g worth of protein via a few bites of chicken. Later this evening I'll have another protein shake, with about 15g worth of protein, just to make sure that I hit my personal goal of a minimum of 80g per protein per day.
No regrets, no remorse, though I still don't like the taste of protein shakes (and probably never will). :)
2 replies to "Three year surgiversary" - Go to comment form
I like the Body Fortress Peanut Butter Chocolate shake. It takes like a Reese Cup. I got used to the taste of protein shakes before the surgery so now its not bad. I actually crave them when I get low on my daily intake. Weird I know.

ST. PAUL - Bodies of Minneapolis bridge collapse victims were still in the Mississippi River last Aug.
Daphine (Oliverius) Gilmore, age 48, of Eagan, formerly a nurse at Woodwinds Health Care Facility in Woodbury, passed away at home on July 29, 2008. Visitation will be held at St. Paul's on the Hill Episcopal Church, 1524 Summit Avenue, St. Paul at 9 a.m. on Saturday, August 2 with memorial service at 10 a.m. Washburn-McReavy, Nokomis Park Chapel, 612-721-1651.
He's a doctor, a Navy lieutenant, a triathlete and formerly the star of a reality TV show designed to find him a soul mate. And ladies, he's still single. "The Bachelor" star Lt. Andrew Baldwin hit Duluth on Monday and will be here until tomorrow as part of Navy Week, an event designed to recruit people. Baldwin, 31, spoke to about 60 fans at Grandma's Sports Garden -- not exactly George Clooney- and Renee Zellweger-visiting-Duluth levels of excitement.
A 29-year-old Duluth man was arrested early Wednesday after calling police with a cell phone from a purse he's accused of stealing. A reporter told Duluth police Sgt. Don Boso that it didn't appear that the suspect arrested by Officer Kristina Schulte early Wednesday has a prior criminal record in Minnesota. "If this is his start, he should end his career now,'' Boso deadpanned. According to police, a 26-year-old woman said the man asked her for a cigarette at Horseshoe Billiards in Lincoln Park/West Duluth about 12:22 a.m. Wednesday.
The federal government has reached a lease agreement for new U.S.
After months of preparation and weeks of presentations, UMore park concept plans were unveiled last week at a public forum at the Rosemount Community Center. The University of Minnesota revealed four concept plans for the UMore park property earlier this month to the university board of regents.
The Beltrami County Sheriff's Office has issued an "attempt to locate" on a 27-year-old Bemidji woman who has not been seen for at least six days. According to the Sheriff's Office report, it was reported Monday that Lisbeth Rogers had not been seen in six days. She was last seen at the Beltrami County Jail picking up money and car keys from an inmate. She may be driving a silver 2000 Mitsubishi Gallant, the report said.
MONTICELLO, Minn. -- Months of planning at the Monticello nuclear plant will be put into practice when spent nuclear fuel is moved from an indoor pool to new above-ground storage. The Prairie Island nuclear plant in Red Wing already uses outdoor dry-cask storage. The Monticello casks will go into concrete storage modules. The storage area is surrounded by two chain-link fences and monitored by cameras and other security devices. Moving the spent fuel will allow Xcel Energy to continue operating the plant for another 30 years, project manager Mark McKeown said.
ROSEMOUNTY -- UMore Park is about to take the next step in its transformation to a new University of Minnesota-sponsored community. The U of M has finished several of its concept designs for what the UMore park property could look like 25 years from now. They will be shown to the public June 19 and 23 with presentations starting at 6 p.m. each day at the Rosemount Community Center.
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota's 150th birthday has come and gone, but the celebration - and history lesson - lasts all summer. That is the Minnesota Sesquicentennial Commission's message as it touts hundreds of events scheduled around the state in the coming weeks and months to commemorate 150 years of statehood. More than 90 events are scheduled yet this month and another 500 are planned for July, said Jane Leonard, the commission's executive director. At least one event is planned in each of Minnesota's 87 counties.


text: REVIEWSMETAL AND HARDCOREALBUM Dehumanized Controlled Elite By Denise Falzon Published Dec 11, 2012 8 The saying, "good things come to those who wait" is especially true in the case of NYC death metallers Dehumanized, as they've finally released a sophomore album after 14 years: the exceptional Controlled Elite. Having formed in 1995, they split in 2000, reformed in 2004 and then split again in 2007; the band have had their fair share of troubles, but now is the time for Dehumanized to get the recognition they deserve. Featuring a mix of old school and modern death metal flourishes, Controlled Elite has that familiar NYC style. "Body Colonizers" is filled with hardcore-influenced grooves, in the vein of Suffocation and Maryland's Dying Fetus, while "None Shall Remain" is more of a straight up, classic death metal track, featuring intense buzz-saw riffs. Highlight "Root of Evil" contains chugging grooves and heavy, headbang-worthy, mid-paced riffs, and even features a guest appearance by Suffocation's Terrance Hobbs, who offers up a dazzling guitar solo.

CONCORD, N.C. --- For years, especially since Indy-car racing imploded with the split between IRL and CART in 1996, stock car racing has enjoyed a lofty existence as the premier form of motorsports in the U.S.
Now that Indy-car racing has solved its differences -- and created some NASCAR-like story lines in the process -- many are wondering how long stock cars will continue to get a free pass with the fans.
IRL and CART now are one. In the past two months, the open-wheeled series has enjoyed a revival of sorts with victories by 19 year-old Graham Rahal and Danica Patrick, the first woman to win an Indy-car race. That gives Sunday's Indianapolis 500 the momentum it enjoyed as the leading player in motorsports 20 years ago.
At the same time, NASCAR is gearing up for the Coca-Cola 600 at the Lowe's Motor Speedway. The stock car race has beaten the Indianapolis 500 in the ratings the past seven years, but this year's race may prove to be a challenge.
Saturday night's all-star race at Lowe's was a competitive flop. The race was staged in four segments and the lead car in all four segments claimed easy wins -- all by 100 yards or more.
The lack of passing up front, combined with a new and improved Indianapolis lineup, has some observers thinking Indy cars may be in position to pass NASCAR -- at least this Sunday.
"The one thing, over the years, it has gotten diluted. It was diluted a little bit in my eyes just like it was in everybody's eyes and it is very exciting to see those two series get back together," said Casey Mears, the Coca-Cola 600 defending champion whose uncle, Rick Mears, won at Indianapolis four times.
"To see a full (33-car) field and to see how many cars are there for the month of May is very exciting. It definitely makes it a lot more appealing."
NASCAR is still working through its new Car of Tomorrow. The winged racer has proven to be safer than a traditional stock car, but it hasn't led to competitive racing on intermediate racetracks. Fans watching last week's all-star race are worried Sunday's 200-lap main event will produce the same follow-the-leader format.
NASCAR also expected to get a bump from a recent influx of Indy-car drivers. Juan Pablo Montoya, Sam Hornish Jr., Dario Franchitti, Patrick Carpentier and Jacques Villeneuve all traded their open-wheeled cockpits for stock cars in the past two years.
They've combined to win the Indianapolis 500 five times but have struggled in NASCAR. Montoya won on a road course last year and is 16th in the current driver standings. The others are ranked no higher than 34th.
Car owners Chip Ganassi and Roger Penske can enjoy the best of both worlds. They'll have cars at both events Sunday.
Ganassi, whose Indy-car teams will start first and second, will spend Sunday at Indianapolis. So will Penske.
"What you are seeing today, with the Car of Tomorrow, I think it's more of a cookie cutter thing," Ganassi said. "It's a tall order at the top level of the sport here to compete week in and week out. It's very, very competitive.
"It's not your grandfather's race team anymore."
With no free passes.

at left side bone...i had reconstruction surgery..so i dont want to know about..i wanted to know...if the right bone had crack..because until now..i got migrain after i got punched at that area..and i felt the bone sink a little bit like 10 percent like that...
Look at the Right Cheekbone...is There Any Cracked Bone? (photo)
Doctor Answers 1
CT scan is best to evaluate facial trauma
It is hard to make much out on that photograph of your X-ray film. The right cheek is particularly underexposed making evaluation near impossible on this forum. A CT scan will definitively evaluate a facial fracture and often helps plan the appropriate operation.
If you are concerned about a facial fracture I would recommend evaluation in the near future. Fixing a facial fracture more than 7-10 days after the injury becomes much more difficult because the body starts to heal the bones in whatever position the injury left them in. Keep in mind that headaches are common after a substantial head injury even if you did not fracture any facial bones. Seek consultation with a local surgeon who deals with facial fractures frequently.

The Association of Washington Generals is a service organization initiated in 1970 by a group of Seattle area business people in alliance with Lt. Governor John Cherberg. Patterned after similar associations in other states, the founding purpose of the AWG was to provide a way to recognize outstanding service of individuals in the state of Washington, and to bring them together into a service organization.
Formally established by state legislation in 2005, the Generals act as official ambassadors of trade, tourism and goodwill for the state, with authorization to use the image of the state flag to promote its mission. The AWG is the only service organization to be so authorized. Ex-officio members include the Washington governor, the lieutenant governor and the secretary of state.
The AWG's "Washingtonian of the Year" is being awarded to Peggy LaPorte of Federal Way.
LaPorte is the founder and president of FUSION, an organization that temporarily houses and supports homeless in Federal Way and Northeast Tacoma and assists with employment.
The AWG is also recognizing Leslie Mayne of Gig Harbor as its recipient of the AWG Community Service Award. Mayne was selected for her work through The Permission To Start Dreaming Foundation (PTSD) and Race for a Soldier, which organizes fun runs and other events to help soldiers affected by post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries.
A planned banquet in Federal Way honoring the two has been cancelled. Details about a reception/awards ceremonyin Olympia will be published in this space as details are available.
Meeting information and latest updates available on
our blog.
Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen's web site
Are you interested in becoming a Washington General or know somebody who might be a good candidate for this organization? Click here to send an email describing the candidate's qualifying background information and why he or she would make a good General. Information will go before the organization's nomination committee for consideration.

New Movies This Week: Russell Crowe Goes Biblical, Ahnold Goes Ballistic
This week we get a big-budget Hollywood retelling of one of the most famous biblical stories of them all, plus the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger in kicking-butt mode.
This week we get a big-budget Hollywood retelling of one of the most famous biblical stories of them all, plus the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger in kicking-butt mode.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said he'd be back, but so far audiences haven't exactly welcomed him with open arms. 'The Last Stand' and 'Escape Plan' may have underperformed at the box office, but that's not stopping the Austrian Oak from continuing his post-Governor action career and 'Sabotage' looks like more of the same, for better or for worse. A new poster for the film debuted at IGN and it's exactly what you'd expect from this kind of movie.
The second trailer for David Ayer's 'Sabotage' plays down the comedy and plays up the stakes as Arnold Schwarzenegger heads a DEA team that finds millions of dollars, which leads to them being targeted for revenge by a drug cartel. And then there's a pesky problem that someone on the team may have taken some of the money.
Just yesterday, we brought you a first look at Arnold Schwarzenegger's new action-thriller 'Sabotage' and were saying that the film was preaching realism above all else. Today, the 'Sabotage' trailer is here, and does it delivers on that promise? Yeahhh, not so much.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has yet to star in a breakout hit since stepping down as governor of California. 'The Last Stand' and 'Escape Plan' were mostly disappointments, but Arnold has his best chance of success coming up with the action-thriller 'Sabotage' (formerly known as 'The Ten'). In fact, Arnold compares this movie to one of his best ever - 'Predator.' Get a first look at 'Sabotage' with a set of new photos below.
What happens when you take a cool video like the Beastie Boys 'Sabotage', and re-enact it in a library? Well, hilarity ensues, naturally!

'Always on My Mind' Songwriter Wayne Carson Dead at 72
Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Wayne Carson, best known for co-writing "Always on My Mind," has passed away at the age of 72.
Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Wayne Carson, best known for co-writing "Always on My Mind," has passed away at the age of 72.
In more evidence that Willie Nelson is one of the coolest people on the planet, the 82-year-old country legend has secured a role in the upcoming comedy Zoolander 2.
Country legends Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard have released a music video for their catchy tune, "It's All Going to Pot." The music video was released on 4/20, which is fitting given the song's title.
A casual country fan may only know that Willie Nelson sings country music, and smokes a lot of marijuana. These things are true, but there's so much more to this country legend. This episode of You Think You Know Country? explores the singer's dark side.
Willie Nelson's brother, Ira Doyle Nelson Jr., has died. The country legend says it happened on Wednesday (April 15). He was 77 years old.
Country legend Willie Nelson is the victim of a death hoax, which first circulated by false sources earlier this year but popped up again over the weekend.
Willie Nelson is hosting his 4th of July picnic in Austin this year, and he's bringing in some top talent for the special occasion. Eric Church, Kacey Musgraves and a host of other stars will join Nelson during the special celebration.
Willie Nelson is launching his own brand of weed, which will be called Willie's Reserve.
Willie Nelson may be the hottest ticket at the 2015 South by Southwest Music and Media Conference. On March 19, Nelson will host the fourth annual Heartbreaker Banquet at his ranch just outside Austin, Texas, and the lineup will make any music fan start scrambling for tickets.
Last week, President Obama joined country legend Willie Nelson on stage for an all-star version of Nelson's hit 'On the Road Again.' Instead of just introducing the singer, Obama stayed to sing.
Willie Nelson is coming to television. The country music legend has been tapped to host a new Austin-based musical variety show titled 'Inside Arlyn.'
Willie Nelson's trademark braids fetched a whopping price at an auction over the weekend.

Six more weeks of winter, says Sir Walter Wally
Posted February 2, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — Two of North Carolina's prognosticating groundhogs have both seen their shadows, predicting six more weeks of winter.
The sun was out Sunday afternoon when Sir Walter Wally emerged at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, allowing the groundhog to see his shadow for a second straight year.
Museum officials say Wally has been correct 50 percent of the time in predicting winter weather since 1998.
At about the same time in Charlotte, that city's groundhog, Queen Charlotte saw its shadow too at the Charlotte Nature Museum.
Meanwhile, at White Deer Park in Garner, Mortimer the Groundhog predicted one more cold snap, then an early spring.
After a week of cold weather, temperatures in the three cities got into the 60s on Sunday.
His famous counterpart, Punxsutawney Phil, also saw his shadow on Sunday.
The Groundhog Day celebration is rooted in a German superstition that says if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2, the Christian holiday of Candlemas, winter will last another six weeks.
If no shadow was seen, legend says, spring will come early.
