Charging vets to be honored wrong
The veterans honor roll in downtown Brooksville on the old courthouse Main Street square holds names of hometown natives who went to war, returning heroes in war and many hometown heroes of their schools' football, basketball or baseball teams.
Now, marvelous young people who graduated from Hernando, Central, Springstead and Nature Coast Technical, many in ROTC programs, are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, our latest war heroes to settle back into their niches in Hernando County. The wars from which they return have left 4,780 killed as of Veteran's Day and more than 30,000 wounded.
The criteria for consideration to have their names engraved and etched into the marble stone include that the veteran lived in Hernando County upon induction, served during a war-time period, completed his or her full obligation, and return with an honorable discharge. All this is decided, vetted and approved by the Hernando County Veterans Service Office and its manager, Matt Peters, under the oversight of Health and Human Services Director Jean Rags.
Apparently, because of shifts in budget priorities, the burden of costs of engraving is now placed upon the veteran on a per-letter cost so that our thanks for their sacrifice and service is diminished to save the county some $40 or so per name.
Veterans organizations and service offices are embarrassed to explain that we cannot honor our returning heroes unless they pay up to have their names etched on the honor roll. It's poor thanks against the backdrop of campaigns all over America in small towns, cities, churches, organizations and veteran groups to honor our wounded warriors every way we can from every branch of service, the National Guard and Army Reserves.

Karen Phillips will be missed
To say I was shocked to read of Karen Phillips' resignation from Brooksville City Hall is an understatement. And add to those sentiments also the word "saddened" and you will begin to understand how so many of us in Brooksville are feeling at this moment.
I have seen many come and go at City Hall over the years but never anyone so capable. She has been an anchor to calm many of the political storms. There have been many times her quiet strength and sound reasoning kept everyone on an even keel.
I realize change is inevitable in the larger scheme of things, but that does not mean it is always for the better. But accept we must! I am sure she has done much soul-searching before she reached her decision.
I would personally like to thank her for all those extra hours she put in to make so many happenings extra special. She always accomplished so much and all the while made it seem so effortless.
Karen, you are going to be missed. I want to wish you well in your future plans, but always remember us here in Brooksville are the losers in your resignation. There is never going to be anyone quite like you and I mean that most sincerely.
Julia Jinkens, Brooksville
If change isn't cash, what is it?
The other day I was doing some grocery shopping and while spending a little time waiting at the checkout counter, I noticed the sign on the "Change Machine." It said, "Convert all your change into cash." So maybe this is what is wrong with our country? No one recognizes the commonality of change and cash.
When I was young I learned to count using loose change to add and subtract. My parents and teachers always referred to any actual money as cash whether foldable or coins.
It's like the cartoon show with the male cows sporting udders. It has to be confusing to the youngsters of today, but perhaps they've never seen farm animals so don't know any better? There used to be cows, bulls and steers. I still don't know why they call ground beef patties a hamburger? There used to be cash only but then they started calling it moolah too.
You don't suppose this is why the banking, credit and investment system has collapsed do you? They don't know the difference between change, cash and credit either. I think I'll Google "male cow" and see what pops up. Might it say, "See moolah?"

Kudos for Navy JROTC drill
I was in attendance at the Veterans Day service at my post and was very impressed by the Navy JROTC Color Guard.
Having served in the U.S. Army and being a part of a drill team, I amazed to see how these two young men handled the M-1 rifle with such precision. I know how much practice is required to obtain that performance. Also my hat's off to the two young ladies who performed with them. They were just as sharp in their performance.
God bless our future military.
Ronald Fox, Spring Hill
Texting drivers more dangerous
In the past few weeks there have been several articles about fatal car accidents in which the drivers have unexpectedly crossed the center line or the median or just driven off the road and lost control.
Also, in the past few weeks, I have personally had cars coming right for me, crossing the center line, and the driver looking up and suddenly swerving back into their own lane. I have been behind cars that are coasting from one side of the lane to the other and I can see the drivers' faces in their mirrors either looking sideways or down, not at the road.
I believe that the legislators were at one time looking into banning cell phone use by teens driving. Cell phones are nothing compared with the number of drivers who are spending more time texting than concentrating on the road. Perhaps accident reports should contain information as to what a person or victim's cell phone was doing at the time of impact.
As more people use text messaging, I strongly fear the accident rate will climb as well. We have more than enough dangerous distractions on the road. Thanks to our newest technology, texting may be one of the most deadly inventions so far.
Linda Cassidy, Port Richey
Board newcomer thanks voters
I would like to thank the 38,470 voters in Hernando County who voted for me to serve on the Hernando County School Board for the next four years. I am sure those who showed their support know or feel that I will continue my service to the youth of Hernando County.
I hope the 34,081 voters who did not vote for me will get to know me better during my tenure and realize my reasons for pursuing this office are in the best interests of those involved. Throughout my life, I have given my best to every job and will continue giving my best to the people of this county.
My campaign for public office has been an experience I will always remember and cherish. I established friendships that will be lasting ones and I am blessed to have met some very fine people. There are many persons who run for political office that are ethical and moral individuals who can be trusted to be the public servants that we all need in our lives. There are some who lost who will make excellent public servants at some time in the future.
I cannot, now or in the future, dislike any person because of his or her political affiliation, race, religion or any other reason. There is no substitute for good moral and ethical behaviors in politics and I urge those elected and those who will run for office in the future to help restore public confidence in the political process.
James C. Yant, School Board, District 4

New York, NY, United States, 2012/11/21 - Panel of experts will focus on the benefits and drawbacks of using predictive coding - eDiscovery-Exchange.com / QuisLex.com.
QuisLex, a premier offshore provider of legal support services, announced today that its Executive Director of Litigation Services, Andrew Goodman, will participate in a panel discussion entitled This House Believes That Manual Review Is Not the Holy Grail: The Pros and Cons of Technology-Assisted Review at the upcoming IQPC Information Governance & eDiscovery Strategy Exchange in Munich, Germany. The session will take place on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 5:15 pm. at the Hilton Munich Park Hotel.
Technology-assisted review is gaining traction after receiving judicial approval in several landmark cases this year. In a recent eDiscovery Journal survey, approximately one-third of respondents acknowledged using predictive coding; another 28% of those not yet employing this technology plan to do so within the next year.
The recent decisions in the U.S. regarding predictive coding highlight the benefits of using technology to help review large volumes of electronically stored information, said Goodman. However, the defensibility of a partys approach to document review will depend ultimately on a combination of the effective use of technology, overall substantive management of the review and the quality control mechanisms that are employed.
Goodman will be part of a panel of distinguished judges and thought leaders that includes Judge James Francis, U.S. Magistrate Judge, Southern District of New York; Master Steven Whitaker, Senior Master of the Senior Courts in the Queens Bench Division, The Royal Courts of Justice; and Katey Wood, Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. Vivian Tero, Program Director, Governance, Risk & Compliance Infrastructure, IDC will moderate. The panel will divide into two teams to debate the pros and cons of technology-assisted review compared to manual review. The panel will also field questions from the audience, inviting them to participate in the debate and gain a better understanding of predictive codings methodology, costs, potential ROI, and results.
The Information Governance & eDiscovery Strategy Exchange offers general counsel and heads of e-discovery, litigation, records management, and compliance departments an opportunity to share best practices and network with other leaders in a customized format. We are especially pleased to be participating in this event as companies and law firms in the E.U. and U.K. are increasingly engaging QuisLex to help them deal with large volumes of data, added Goodman. This event provides a great opportunity to expand our presence in this key market.
The conference will be held November 27-29, 2012 in Munich. To learn more about the conference, please visit ediscovery-exchange.com/.

New York City Department of Transportation, New York City Parks and Recreation, Nassau County and the Town of Babylon receive FEMA funds.
NEW YORK – This week the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced four additional Public Assistance grants totaling nearly $15 million to reimburse New York City Department of Transportation, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, Nassau County and the town of Babylon for costs associated with debris removal following Hurricane Sandy.
The hurricane's strong winds and heavy rains brought down trees, tree limbs and power lines creating hazardous conditions, impeding traffic and leaving behind more than six million cubic yards of debris. Collecting and clearing out that debris has been one of the most difficult and time-consuming challenges of the recovery. Statewide, 76 percent of storm-generated debris has been picked up.
"FEMA is committed to getting people back into their homes," said Michael F. Byrne, FEMA federal coordinating officer. "Debris removal has cleared the way for people to move out of hotels and shelters and begin repairing their homes and communities. As the New Year begins, FEMA will continue to work with our partners in state and local governments to rebuild New York stronger."
"Debris poses one of the greatest obstacles to repairing homes, rebuilding infrastructure, and helping the survivors of Hurricane Sandy," said Jerome M. Hauer, Commissioner of the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services. "These agencies make it possible to get necessary equipment, emergency response, and other vital services to hard hit areas blocked by millions of pounds of debris. We are thankful for the countless hours and phenomenal work provided."
The FEMA Public Assistance program reimburses state and local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations at least 75 percent of eligible debris-removal costs. The remaining 25 percent comes from non-federal funds.
For debris removal to be eligible, the damage must be a direct result of Hurricane Sandy, and the work must be necessary to:
- Eliminate an immediate threat to lives, public health and safety;
- Eliminate immediate threats of significant damage to improved public and private property when the measures are cost effective; or
- Ensure the economic recovery of the affected community to the benefit of the community-at-large.
This week the New York City Department of Transportation received $4.7 million, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation was awarded $4.1 million, Nassau County was granted $3.8 million, and the town of Babylon received $2.1 million.
Since Hurricane Sandy made landfall, FEMA has provided more than $334 million in Public Assistance grants in New York State.

As an elderly person, I make sure I get my 'flu vaccine every year. This year I'm thankful I did because while In New York over Xmas, I came down with a mild version of the 'flu. Since I'd had the vaccine, my symptoms, while miserable, were not nearly as bad as those who didn't get the vaccine. My nephew, who refused to get the vaccine, was so sick, he was admitted to hospital overnight.
The research doctor whose fraudulent started this scare about vaccines, deserves to be held responsible for the deaths of people who were scared to get vaccinated.

Heskey and Berbatov both missing for OT clash
Both Manchester United and Aston Villa will be without first choice strikers ahead of Sunday's meeting at Old Trafford following the confirmation that both Dimitar Berbatov and Emile Heskey are facing two weeks out with injury.
United striker Berbatov has been ruled out for two weeks with an ankle injury, while Villa front man Heskey is expected to be missing for the same period with a hamstring problem.
Sunday's match is crucial for both sides as United will be looking to re-assert their dominance in the title race. Indeed, should Liverpool avoid defeat at Fulham on Saturday United could find themselves knocked off the top of the table ahead of the game. Meanwhile Villa are desperate to claw back lost ground on Arsenal in the race for fourth position and a Champions League qualifying place.
United's Bulgarian striker suffered his injury during the 2-0 Premier League defeat at Fulham two weeks ago. The 28-year-old subsequently pulled out of his country's World Cup qualifying double-header against the Republic of Ireland and Cyprus.
Villa manager Martin O'Neill believes Heskey could be absent for up to a fortnight after picking up a hamstring injury while on England duty against Slovakia at Wembley last Saturday.
It is the second time O'Neill has been deprived of Heskey's services because of an injury sustained playing for his country. The former Wigan Athletic player aggravated an Achilles problem during February's friendly international with Spain.
That caused the striker to miss the FA Cup clash at Everton and the UEFA Cup tie with CSKA Moscow and resulted in O'Neill hitting out at England boss Fabio Capello for playing Heskey after he had limped out of Villa's previous game against Blackburn Rovers.
''I haven't a problem with this one because it is two separate situations,'' said O'Neill. ''This is a different scenario where someone goes away properly fit and just picks up an injury that can happen anytime. That can't be helped. It is a blow but it is one of those things.
''In fairness, the rest of the players who went away on international duty are fit so, in terms of percentages, we are probably not too badly off.''
Regarding Berbatov's injury, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: ''It's probably going to be another two weeks. Hopefully he will be back training with us at the end of next week and he will be okay after that.''
It leaves Ferguson with a major selection headache as Wayne Rooney is also out through suspension, as are Paul Scholes and Nemanja Vidic. In addition, Carlos Tevez is not due back from South America until Friday afternoon following Argentina's surprising six-goal defeat in Bolivia.
''I think he gets back from Mars about 4pm,'' joked Ferguson. ''With Dimitar out and Wayne suspended hopefully Carlos will be okay. That will give us one striker, then we will have to choose another.''
Should Berbatov's prognosis prove correct, the 28-year-old will also be unavailable for both legs of United's Champions League quarter-final against Porto and the league trip to Sunderland.

I had always (60 years of playing) heard and seen the word spelled "embrouchure". When, recently, a friend spelled it as "embouchure", I almost was going to correct him. Instead, I looked it up on Wikipedia and other net sources and found that is is, in fact, the PREFERRED spelling. It is said that it is from the French (of course) for applying the mouth. (La bouche)
As a word junkie, I wonder if anyone has the derivation of the newer (incorrect?) spelling?

text: You know that an app really has a buzz about it when it starts trending worldwide on Twitter, which is exactly what happened today with Mailbox, a new email app for iPhone from Orchestra, a startup company in Palo Alto, California. The critically acclaimed app obviously has a lot of fans out there who like the way it aims to sort your email inbox out for you, and as CNN explains, help you to focus on your most important email, using just four principal gestures. Basically, you simply have to swipe partly to the right to archive a message, completely to the right to delete it, long swipe to the left to add the email to a list, and short swipe left to access the Snooze feature, which CNN says is the best of all. Essentially, Snooze enables you to postpone dealing with that particular email until youre ready, getting them out of your inbox until you decide what you want to do with them. Sounds good?! Well yes indeed it does. So good, in fact that Orchestra has decided to cope with the high demand by using a waiting list, meaning that you wont be able to use it right away, unless youre at the top of the list. When you download the app, youll get the chance to put yourself on the waiting list, and youll be able to see how long you have to wait and how many people are ahead of you.

As anyone knows who follows the demise of Internet-based businesses, more often then not, these failed companies did not have a solid infrastructure, hired too many people too quickly or generally lacked customer service skills to get the job done right.
A solid business model should be the number one objective, according to CFO Paul Williams of Cyberian Outpost, a vendor of software, hardware and electronics. He has re-engineered the company's strategy, and is focusing on lowering the cost of acquiring new customers, improving relationships with suppliers, and guaranteeing customers good service.
These are all solid initiatives, but will they work? At least in the short run, Williams realizes that one of the business models that does not work is selling below cost. Too many Internet-based companies get into trouble when they sell items or services below cost, hoping to make up the difference with ad revenue.
As mentioned above, one of the other key components of the solid business model for Williams is to find a way to decrease the cost of finding new customers. Since August of this year, his company has been able to cut the cost of acquiring a new customer from $100 to $38.

What to do with $11 million?
The clock is ticking for the Pasco School Board to finalize its 2010-11 budget, and still many items remain unresolved in the balancing act.
One of the key questions — What will the board do with the approximately $11 million it expects to receive in a second round of federal stimulus funds?
District officials have made clear their unwillingness to spend this one-time source of money on repeating costs, such as raises. But they've made the same argument about using the money to eliminate the need for a furlough day, and more than one person has noted that a furlough is essentially a one-time pay cut, not a recurring expense.
This matters because the furlough, or unpaid holiday, or pay cut (take your pick in naming it) has arrived on the bargaining table for Pasco's teachers and noninstructional staff. United School Employees of Pasco representatives have yet to accept, reasonably arguing that the one-time stimulus money could cover the one-time pay cut, eliminating the need.
The School Board has scheduled an executive session for next week Tuesday to talk about just this type of issue and to set a course of action. The board also has some other contract-related decisions to make, ones that affect millions in the budget. Still outstanding is the amount the board will require employees to pay for health insurance. The board's early retirement plan and its projected $4 million savings have yet to come to fruition, either.
In the end, a different set of cuts could end up emerging, if the furlough idea disappears and the early retirement option never materializes. District officials have been mum on what those might be, saying everything rides on negotiations. Any suggestions?

YORK WOODS – In a contest having many sitting on the edge of their seats, 14-year-old Hayley Maher emerged as the top sharpshooter in the Miss Annie Oakley shootout, earning the title of Miss Annie Oakley 2014 on July 24.
"I was excited," said the 14-year-old Greenville High School freshman, mostly at a loss for words. She said this was her first attempt and she'd been practicing for "a couple of weeks." A relative had noted earlier she'd been shooting for years. At the Pilgrimage following the contest, Hayley admitted to being a little nervous. She had won, and she realized that was a "big responsibility."
The contest began with 10 contestants on Wednesday. By the time they reached the 80-foot mark, there were still six in the running. All six were called back for the final competition Thursday, which began at the 85-foot mark. Only two contestants survived that first round: Haley and 14-year-old classmate GHS freshman Katie Hurd. Haley was the lone survivor at the 90-foot mark. One more round was held at the 85-foot mark for the second runner-up. Majenica Nealeigh, 18, took that honor as she was the only one to hit the mark the second time through.
Katie said she felt good… "I'm glad I got as far as I did. I never thought I'd end up in the top three." This was her first attempt at the shootout. She'd been practicing about a month.
"I'm very surprised," said Majenica, 18. "I never thought I'd get this far." This was her third or fourth attempt ("I don't remember") and is a recent high school graduate. Majenica was home-schooled and quipped: "Yeah, I graduated from my living room."
Courtney Osborne, 2013 Miss Annie Oakley, was one of many feeling the tension of the previous night when six contestants took the competition to the 80-foot-mark. After awarding the trophies and putting the sashes and corsages on the three winners, she said she was sad to finally be wrapping up her reign. She will always be Miss Annie Oakley 2013, but now had to turn the traditional rifle over to her successor, Hayley Maher, Miss Annie Oakley 2014. "I'm very happy for Hayley," she said. "I know she's going to have a lot of fun."
Shawna Osborne, Alyssa Baumgardner and Hannah Gulley were among the six competing Thursday night; competing from the previous night were Rachel Francis, Mariana Ramos, Hannah Bingham and Tara Goubeaux.

The 68-year-old has been charged with two counts of illegally disposing of shares in Gunns before price-sensitive information was released to the market.
He sold $3 million of Gunns shares in December 2009, three months before the company revealed a 98 per cent fall in half-year profits.
Mr Gay declined to comment when approached by media as he entered court flanked by friend Graeme Walker and his barrister, Bill Griffiths.
Mr Griffiths asked Magistrate Tim Hill for an adjournment until February 14. Mr Gay posted bail.
Commonwealth prosecutor Ian Arendt agreed to the adjournment, saying a large amount of material had been sent to Mr Gay's solicitors.
"This charge is not common in this jurisdiction," he said.
Julie Read, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's regional commissioner, and Andrew Stecher, of ASIC's Melbourne investigative unit, were both in court.
Mr Gay appeared relaxed despite waiting nearly an hour for his appearance.
The case has high stakes for Mr Gay and ASIC, which must prove that Mr Gay knew the state of Gunns' finances at the time of his two trades in December 2009. Gunns suffered a large drop in woodchip exports, and ASIC argues that Mr Gay possessed inside information that he ought to have known was not generally available.
ASIC investigated whether Gunns complied with continuous disclosure laws from July to December 2009, when the company posted a near 100 per cent fall in profit but did not issue an earnings downgrade other than to say at its November annual meeting that trading conditions remained difficult.
Gunns boss Greg L'Estrange, declined to comment about Mr Gay.

AHi, I made a wedding cake cupcake tower with a cake on the top for last Saturday. I delivered and set up the cake at the venue, all was good. Spoke to both the wedding coordinator and the groom and mentioned that when cutting the top tier they should remove it from the stand. The stand had4 levels and didn't want it collapsing when they tried to cut it. Today I picked up the stand and was told that it actually did collapse. When asked what happened was told it just toppled over! My question is why am I getting told 4 days after it happened and what should I do? I haven't heard from the bride or groom themselves. Did the table get bumped or knocked? I obviously want to offer compensation but is it my problem if it was knocked?
No, it is not your problem if it was knocked, or if it fell because they left the cake on top, if you told them not to. What stand is it? Was it damaged? If it was, and it was their fault, then you need to take it out of the deposit. And do you normally pick your stands up? I make them bring them to me! Gas was $3.89 a gallon today...SMH!
It is not your responsibility to compensate them. Do you have a contract? I state right in my contract that once the cupcake/cakes are set up it is no longer my problem if something happens. You can't be held responsible if someone were to bump the table or they didn't listen to you about taking the tier off. I also informed them that if my cupcake trees are not returned to me in the same condition as when I set them up, they are held responsible for buying me a new one. I am not sure what type of cupcake stand that you are using but I can't see how any of them would just topple over. Something is fishy to me...
Yes it sounds fishy to me too!!! Someone probably tried cutting top cake while it was on top of stand and broke it. They should pay for a new stand!!! But the problem is sometimes people will just not admit to the mistakes that they have done and try to pin the blame on you!!! Sorry that you are the victim of a mishap that was not your fault!!! Maybe you should call the venue and try to ask the people working there what happened when the stand fell apart. You may get someone that will tell you the truth!!! It is worth a try, anyway!! Good luck!!!
I'll bet they cut the cake while it was still on the stand because it would make a better "cutting the cake" picture.
Ask to see a picture of the cake cutting. I usually ask the person who receives or is at the venue to sign the delivery paper stating it was set up and left in good condition and I also take a few pictures. Giving instructions in writing is a good idea too.Whatever happens after you deliver is not your responsibility.

Released a month ago with already nearly half-a-million page views, rap song "Lil Mouse Get Smoked" has created quite a stir. The song, which celebrates violence and murder, was penned by a 13-year-old Lil Mouse who lives on the South Side of Chicago. While the song continues to pick up steam, NewsOne spoke with violence and mental health expert Terrie Williams as well as Lil Mouse's producer, P. Noble, about whether this type of music — in light of what's happening in our communities — is acceptable.
Barely a teen, Lil' Mouse appears in "Lil Mouse Get Smoked" in his Roseland neighborhood, clutching a grip of money and posing in front of a BMW. Shamelessly spewing expletives while painting a depressing picture of his surroundings, Lil' Mouse says:
I'm rollin', all my n*ggas rollin'
.30 clip and them hollow tips have his a** sitting in Roseland
Floating off a pill, p*ssy bad kill
N*ggas talking shit in the club, you better watch yourself

From the Associated Press on February 27, 2008...
The prison law clerk who convinced the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a fellow inmate's drug possession case is being investigated by South Carolina's Attorney General Henry McMaster for practicing law without a license. Jailhouse lawyer Michael Ray, who is serving time for real-estate fraud, drafted an appeal for pro-se litigant Keith Lavon Burgess arguing that Burgess' 20-year mandatory minimum sentence was inappropriate because his prior drug conviction was not a felony but rather a misdemeanor. While Ray does not have college or law school education, he drafted a fairly clever appeal and now the Supreme Court has granted review of the case.
Stanford Law School Professor Jeff Fisher will be arguing the case before the Supreme Court on Burgess' behalf.
The case under review is: Burgess v. United States
Supreme Court Docket: 06-11429
Decision Below: 478 F3d 658
Lower Court Case Number: 04-4997
Questions Presented:
- Whether the term "felony drug offense" as used in the federal statute requiring imposition of enhanced mandatory minimum 20 years' imprisonment when drug offender has "prior conviction for a felony drug offense" must be read in pari material with federal statutes defining both "felony" and "felony drug offense," so as to require imposition of a minimum 20 year sentence only if prior drug conviction is both punishable by more than one year in prison and characterized as a felony by controlling law?
- When the court finds that a criminal statute is ambiguous, must it then turn to rule of lenity to resolve ambiguity?

Weather Watches and Warnings: An Experiment for Better Understanding
For many years, there has been public confusion of the difference between a weather "Watch" and a weather "Warning" especially various winter weather statements and terms issued by the National Weather Service.{ }Here are some examples and discussion{ }of the confusion the Wa-Wa{ }statements (as we meteorologists refer to the current wording) cause.{ }
After much hard work ( including dealing with much legacy) a team within the National Weather Service is conducting an experiment this winter to see how significant changes in wording for preparation before storms, may help eliminate the confusion.{ } The experiment products delete the word "WATCH" from preparation statements and will only use "WARNING" meaning it is time for people affected by any upcoming storm to take action.{ } Here is an example of the current and proposed wording.{ }{ }
Here are the local forecast offices that will be participating in this experimental program this winter.{ }{ }
{ }
The local forecast office here in Washington will not be participating because it is already involved in several projects involving better, more effective communication of winter weather and snowfall forecasts.{ } But the National Weather Service wants your input.{ } Frankly for many years I have been pushing for such a change.{ } Some studies have show that as many as 60% of people are confused between what is a "Watch" and what is a "Warning".{ }
The National Weather Service is your service.{ } Effective communication is critical in helping you make the best weather related decision.{ } Government officials, various government organizations, emergency managers all have an interest, and frankly I think some legacy in maintaining the current system and language.{ } But you the public are our most important customer.{ } Let your National Weather Service know what you think and learn more here.{ }{ }
{ }
Oh and make sure to take part in our poll on the subject.{ } I'll share it with the program leader of this very worthwhile effort and initiative.

Felicity Huffman continues blogging for iVillage's CelebVillage series and this time it's about how to be a good mom to her daughters – Sophia, 11, and Georgia, 9.
The Desperate Housewives star admits that sometimes she feels like she's "drowning in motherhood."
I often feel I am drowning in motherhood. It was really bad when my girls were younger, but it still exists now: When I am home I want to be away. When I am away I want to be home. I am no longer the person I was before having children, but not quite comfortable with whom I have become. I feel like I live in two different worlds and the oxygen supply in both is only sustainable for about four hours and then my system starts to stress and suffocate."
At the beginning she thought she was going to have an easy mothering style – but instead she described herself as "an anxious mother."
I walked into my babies' room many times a night, compulsively trying to figure out if it was too hot or too cold. I compiled all sorts of arcane equipment to make homemade rice milk because I decided that the rice milk from Whole Foods wasn't pure enough! My daughters hated the taste and I couldn't blame them. I made sure their diapers were organic, compostable and made of corn or something; in a pinch we could have eaten them for dinner."
She adds, "I was impersonating what I thought a good mother was: hours of pretend, enriching experiences, always being there 100 percent, my needs last!"
However it was after one of her daughters called her "The Grump" when finding out their dad – William H. Macy – couldn't join them on a museum outing that made her change her parenting style. After a tearful phone call she realized from her sister that she just needed to be herself.
Maybe good mothers can pretend to be Poobah for two hours and go on endless trips to museums and parks. But I can read out loud for hours, I can build forts all afternoon, I can really listen when things go wrong and I am great when the flu hits. I now try and accept my limits. I am a nightmare after 5 p.m., so instead of muscling through the evening, my husband has taken over nighttime parenting, and it works great! Everyone is much happier. I have a voice (small but true) that I rely on and it even gives me great advice sometimes."

Tracks were leaked today apparently, it's all over my Tumblr feed. I listened to Aura (Awrah), G.U.Y, Artpop (title track), Last Night, and a couple others. Curious to know what others think. I found it a case of trying way, way too hard. you know... Being Edgy And Artistic, In Caps.
Her producers bring their full bag of tricks, sonically it's great in places. But the tracks are nearly all vocally chilly, vocally distorted and disconnected, joyless, minor key, and too reliant on the producers' tricks. The Applause title track is typical of the whole album's sound, more or less.
I can't see how this album is going to do even half as well as her last few.

1999 Acura CL
2 Recalls & Safety Reports
Recall List for the 1999 Acura CL
Official recalls have been issued for the 1999 Acura CL by the NHTSA. The complete details of all recalls are listed below, along with what they cover and the recommended solutions.
Recalls don't cost you anything to get fixed, but most are time-limited, so if your car is affected you should call your local Acura service department immediately!
If you have questions about a recall, write down your VIN & then call Acura customer service.
1999 Acura CL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH NHTSA Campaign #03V423000
Summary: On certain passenger vehicles and mini vans, the ignition switch may wear excessively and prevent proper interlock operation, making it possible to turn the ignition key to the "off" position and remove the key without shifting the transmission to "park."
Consequence: If the vehicle operator does not shift to "park" before removing the key and fails to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll and a crash could occur.
Actions: Dealers will perform an inspection procedure that determines the amount of cylinder body wear. If significant wear is indicated, the dealer will replace the cylinder body, collar, and latch plate. If no signs of wear are indicated, dealers will replace the latch plate with a redesigned part. Owner notification began December 8, 2003. Owners should contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or Acura at 1-800-382-2238. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #03V423000 »
1999 Acura CL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH NHTSA Campaign #02V120000
Summary: On certain sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, and sport utility vehicles, electrical contacts in the ignition switch can degrade due to the high electrical current passing through the switch when the vehicle is started.
Consequence: Worn contacts could cause the engine to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Actions: Dealers will replace the ignition switch. Owner notification began June 14, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or Acura at 1-800-382-2238. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #02V120000 »

Has anyone hiked/cabin/fished MedicineBow National Forest? Do you mind givingme some input?
My brother, whom likes fly fishingwishes for the family to go out West this summer. I prefer to backpack, normally a couplenights at a time, just to get away from the crowds.
The thought would be to rent a cabinas a base site and just fly into WY. Thetime and gas spent driving from the east coast to WY, makes it cheaper to takea plane.
We looked at some cabins available fromthe National forest, but they book up quick, and very little information seemsto available,
We are looking for a place where wecan hike into a mountain lakes and streams for fishing, and I can put in atleast one overnight backpack trip.
We are not stuck on Medicaine Bow, just looking to go west, my brother wants to fish, and I want to hike, and since the families are coming and we all are flying in,, we thought we would get a Cabin
Any suggestions?

Butter-Menthol cough lozenges were first launched in 1938 and since then, the familiar site of the iconic orange and colourful tartan packaging has been the mainstay of the Australian family medicine cabinet – that's for more than 70 years! Kidspot Editor Yvette Lee shares her Butter-Menthol memories, "As a school-aged child I suffered from regular boughts of tonsilitis, and can still remember that familiar and comforting orange box of Butter-Menthol lozenges my parents would give me to help soothe my sore throat, and, with it's subtle buttery taste, it was the only lozenge where I also enjoyed the flavour. Now, more than 30 years later, I keep a packet of Butter-Menthol lozenges in my medicine cabinet for my own family."
Butter-Menthol Original medicated lozenges have been taking care of generations of Australian families, by providing effective relief from sore throats and stuffy noses. Over the years the Butter-Menthol family has grown to include a whole range of medicated products.

Early Pregnancy Loss in Celiac Women: The Role of Genetic Markers of Thrombophilia

10/05/2009 - Pregnant women with celiac disease suffer early pregnancy loss more often than women without celiac disease. A team of Italian researchers recently set out to look at a possible role of genetic pro-thrombotic variants in early pregnancy loss in women with celiac disease.
The research team was made up of C. Ciacci, R. Tortora, O. Scudiero, R. Di Fiore, F. Salvatore, and G. Castaldo. The team looked at 39 women with celiac disease, who had experienced at least two early pregnancy losses within the first 3 months of pregnancy, a control group of 72 celiac women with a history of one or more normal pregnancies with no pregnancy loss.
Each of the women were enrolled in the study immediately upon diagnosis for celiac disease, whereupon, the researchers obtained a clinical history obtained from each woman.
The researchers then screened leukocyte DNA for factor V Leiden (mutation G1691A), factor V R2 (H1299R), factor II (G20210A), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase
(MTHFR) (C677T and A1298C), beta-fibrinogen (−455 G>A), PAI-1 alleles 4G/5G, factor XIII (V34L), and HPA-1 (L33P).
Women with pregnancy losses were notably older (p = 0.002) among the celiacs than in controls. Of the gene variants examined, the allelic frequency of 4G variant of PAI-1, and the frequency of mutant genotypes were significantly more frequent in the group of celiac women with early pregnancy loss (p = 0.00003 and 0.028, respectively).
Interestingly, the beta-fibrinogen −455 G>A genotype distribution differs substantially between the two groups, though frequency of the variant allele remains the same. The control group showed more frequent variant genotypes (p = 0.009).
Based on these data, the research team believes the 4G variant of the PAI-I gene may predispose some celiac women who carry the gene to early pregnancy loss, though they note that their data should be confirmed on larger populations.

I had 2 premature births in my 20's & 30's. I am 62 & was
diagnosed with celiac at 51. First premature ended after 36 hours and second one my daughter is now 31 years of age.
She was born at the beginning of the 7 month and weighed
2lbs 13ozs.

I have 2 comments:
1. Thank you for summarizing peer reviewed journal articles related to celiac disease! I appreciate hearing about the latest research and your articles always prompt me to look further, and obtain the full article if possible!
2. I think you should make an important distinction in the 5th paragraph of your article. As I interpret the research article, the researchers noted a significant difference in age of diagnosis between the two groups, not age at which the pregnancy loss occurred. This does not come across as currently stated in your summary, and I think it is a critical point!

I totally agree with Marcia! I am 30 years old and was diagnosed a year ago with celiac. We have been trying to conceive for a year and a half now and I just had my first miscarriage and I would like more information on the connection between celiac and miscarriages and problems with conception. I read that once our bodies heal that it would become easier but it's been almost a year since my diagnosis.

Mandy my nutritionist told me that it takes 2-3 years to heal completely and there are certain things in your diet to change to help the healing.

Article a little hard to understand for the average person but still helpful. My story short and sweet. Started trying to get pregnant after marriage at 35. 8 pregnancies..3 births. All miscarriages around 11-14 weeks. After last baby was born which was 4 years ago I was so tired, so tired of looking pregnant all the time and always having stomach troubles. Was diagnosed with celiac disease in February of 2013.

Vitamin deficiencies of vitamins D, C, and B12 and Calcium deficiency can all cause night sweats. (Perhaps the methyl form of B12 is needed for those with that MthFr gene.) Also, consistently high blood sugar levels can cause night sweats. As a type two diabetic, I find if my blood sugar...
It's unfair to make such a general statement about ER's and hospitals. Unfortunately, I've been to the ER several times and hospitalized three times in the past few years. The staff took me seriously when I told them I had celiac. Popsicles and drinks were checked for gluten, and a good laugh ...
