How do I know if I am getting real Juvederm
In the U.S. I would tell you that to know if it's real Juvederm or not, you can ask the injector for the lot number and contact Allergan, the company that makes and distributes Juvederm in the U.S. I would suppose there is an equal to this in China, but I wouldn't know for certain.

When Craig Kielburger speaks about youth empowerment, he speaks as much from experience as he does from the heart. In part, it's because over the past 16 years, he has seen his organization — Free the Children — grow to become one of the largest networks of children helping children in the world.
In part, it's because Kielburger knows firsthand the difference that one child can make, having founded Free the Children at age 12 to help free children from poverty, exploitation and abuse after reading an article about the life and death of a child slave.
Founding a non-profit organization was Kielburger's last resort, after encountering countless rejections as a child from human rights organizations that saw no use for child volunteers. "One organization's response," Keilburger recalled, "was 'do you know where your parents' credit card is'?"
Today, Free the Children is a testament to Kielburger's resolve and the power of children and adolescents, a demographic of donors and volunteers often overlooked by many nonprofits. Free the Children boasts a network of more than 1 million youth across 45 countries.
"We challenge the notion that young people are powerless to affect positive change," Kielburger says. It's a message he shares frequently with nonprofits, including his keynote address at the Connecticut Association of Non-Profits annual conference in November.
"Students across North America are looking for a way to make a difference," he explains, "and they have a hard time finding nonprofits seeking young volunteers."
While many nonprofits don't actively recruit student volunteers, Kielburger has made it a primary focus of his organization. In fact, Free the Children has an entire department dedicated entirely to mentoring and empowering youth. And that focus is paying tangible dividends: children across the globe have volunteered more than 1 million hours for the organization and raised more than $5.4 million, which, in part, has helped build more than 650 schools in developing countries.
One key to nonprofits attracting youth and building a sustainable organization, Kielburger says, is innovation. He points to Free the Children's social enterprise model, Me to We, that sells products — including clothes, books and music — created by artisans from developing countries. Half the proceeds benefit Free the Children and half is reinvested.
Kielburger thinks an enterprise model would serve many Connecticut nonprofits well by raising awareness of community issues, while offsetting administrative costs and engaging youth, who are increasingly socially conscious consumers.
Kielburger also sees social media as critically important in outreaching to young people. "It helps us share exciting news from overseas projects and raising awareness of local opportunities to get engaged," he noted. Kielburger, for instance, frequently tweets and shares organizational information and videos on YouTube and Facebook, where his organization has amassed nearly 800,000 "likes," mostly from young people.
"Our organization showcases the ability of young people to change the world," Kielburger says. For more than 16 years, Kielburger has tried to harness that power to create a better world through education, clean water and sanitation projects and health care programs.
He's seen the impact in towns and villages in developing nations his organization serves, where more than one million people are living healthier lives because a 12-year-old boy decided to make a difference and inspired other children to play a role. Kielburger, himself a prime example, leaves nonprofits in Connecticut and nationwide with the biggest lesson he's learned: never underestimate the power of young people.

An Accra Commercial High Court has thrown out a request by Republic Bank to nullify HFC bank's application seeking to stop the takeover of the institution.
The court presided over by Justice George Koomson in his ruling, noted that the application by HFC has merit and should be heard.
The Judge again struck out an application by the Securities and Exchange Commission that requested the court to throw out HFC's application because it has failed to explore internal procedure to address its grievances.
The Judge however granted a request by lawyers for the plaintiff, HFC bank to award a cost of 1,500 Ghana cedis against the defendants – Securities and Executive Commission and the Republic Bank.
HFC bank in May filed a suit in court seeking to place an injunction on the takeover of the institution by Republic Bank.
The Securities and Exchange and Republic Bank were jointly sued by HFC bank in the application.

CT scan is not always the best scan for possible nerve entrapment, a MRI would be better if you have symptoms of back pain with pins & needles in the feet. Although usually one foot would be worse than the other depending on the location of the trapped nerve or nerve root.
The first step is to have a full neurological examination which can map out the affected areas and determine if a MRI is needed.
You should try to keep moderately active, bed rest has been shown to worsen symptoms by causing stiffness. Keeping active is the best option. Regular analgesia such as panadol and ibuprofen should also be used in the short term.
Thanks for the answer. But I don't think it's the best direction to go: if I follow this direction, I will very likely ended up in a surgery.
I have found some exercises to do on the web, and by following them, my situation has improved from the worst. SLM Bodywork is claimed to be the way to go, but I haven't found a practitioner for that in my area, so not sure their claim is true or not.

New turf-type perennial ryegrasses are being widely used by turf managers, however, little information is available on their competitiveness in polystands. The growth and persistence of three perennial ryegrasses (Lolium perenne L.) were evaluated in the greenhouse and growth chamber in monostands and in polystands with 'Merlon' Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) and 'Penncross' creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.). Cutting height treatments were 1.26, 2.54, 3.80, and 5.08 cm. Ryegrass tillering was greatest at the 1.26 cm cut, while no differences in tiller numbers were detected between 2.54 to 5.08 cm treatments. All ryegrasses competed well in bluegrass sod at .2.54 to 5.08 cm cuts but did not grow well in the bentgrass, regardless of cut.
In two field studies several ryegrasses were seeded 25: 75 (seed number basis) with Merlon Kentucky bluegrass and 50:50 with 'Seaside' creeping bentgrass. Mowing treatments and N treatments were imposed on the various mixtures in both studies. 'Manhattan' and 'Pennfine' ryegrasses were most competitive during establishment and the most persistent over 23 months in bluegrass mixtures. Shoot densities of the ryegrasses were not affected by cutting height or N treatments but bluegrass density was. When seeded with bentgrass, Manhattan and Pennfine were most competitive during establishment but noryegrass cultivar composed more than 14% of the stand after 23 months. Low cutting height (1.26 cm) and high N (2.44 kg N/100m2) improved the competitiveness of the bentgrass but not that of the ryegrasses.
The data from these studies indicate that the competitiveness of new turf-type ryegrasses is dependent upon the companion grass. When seeded in mixtures with Kentucky bluegrass the new ryegrasses were persistent at cutting heights above 1.90 cm. In mixtures with creeping bentgrass the ryegrasses responded as temporary grasses.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Somewhere there is a child who can't write legibly. A child who becomes so frustrated at the routine of writing school work. A smart child, whose written work is full of erasures, scratch outs, holes, and is probably written on wrinkled paper. That is, the paper didn't start wrinkled, but it got that way as the assignment progressed. And that child is probably hearing the following:
1. Slow down and write CAREFULLY!
2. You can write legibly if you just try.
3. (to a girl) You write like a boy.
4. (to a boy)What is this? A paper full of holes and the writing all over the place? You are so CARELESS!
5. (My personal favorite) No you can't use the computer or the typewriter. That's cheating.
Dysgraphia is a learning disability which affects many children at the age they learn to write. Briefly, the student experiences a physical confusion when attempting to write – the brain and the hand don't seem to connect about letter formation. Some dysgraphic children are also dyslexic, but not always. Often, the student's ideas outpace their ability to put their thoughts on paper.
The dysgraphic student experiences difficulty learning to write, and often cursive proves difficult. They have difficulty joining letters together, closing loops or circles, aligning their writing to space on the page, and often letters such as t and x have the cross stroke placed too high or too low. They have a very weak grasp of spatial relationships.
This is not something that will straighten itself out. If the student does not learn letter formation, get the mechanics of writing in hand, the problem will get worse, not better. While many dysgraphic teens and adults are proficient on the computer and digital technology, everyone needs to know the mechanics of personal writing. They typical classroom activity of copying from the board can often prove difficult for a child who has no idea how to arrange the information from the board onto a horizontal piece of paper.
Dysgraphia is best remediated with young students, but it is possible with older children to see some improvement with practice. They key to helping a dysgraphic child learn to write is to reduce the anxiety over the finished product, and give them plenty of opportunity to practice letter formation. Templates and tracing are best for learning the path the hand has to follow.
Handwriting practice, whether freehand or with templates, should not last long. Focusing on writing mechanics is difficult for dysgraphic children, and they become restless or tired. When a child says he or she has had enough, they probably have. Then experience of practice needs to be affirmative, positive.
And yes, children should be encouraged to use computers. One of my joys as a dysgraphic adult has been to use a tablet computer – I can write on it, and it deciphers what I have written and makes it legible. I may not understand technology, but it understands me!

This woman is a thief; she stole from her employer [Kaiser supermarkets/German] and her job of 30 years was terminated without notice. Yes, she only stole 1.30Euros. That's about £1.16 or $1.65 or 2.55AUD or 161Yen.
Although that isn't quite right either for she didn't actually just take the money out of the till but used two bottle deposit slips adding up to 1.30 Euros. The woman has gone from earning just under 2000Euros to now receiving benefits and when she sued her former employer the courts judged in the supermarket's favour.
Of course this has sparked a national outrage, especially considering a CEO was recently given a court sentence slap on the wrist for tax evasion amounting to millions of Euros and allowed to keep his several houses around Europe.
Cue the arrival of the tabloids, namely the BILD Zeitung [which btw is worse than the Sun and the Daily Mail combined, so bad in fact that there's a whole blog dedicated to it's gross misconduct]. Of course they pretend to fight for the people, so this headline is hardly surprising:
Overall, the details across the different papers and radio/TV coverage are kind of muddy. Some claim she tried to put blame on another employee, others that she never admitted it and that it was a mistake and some of her former colleagues are standing up for her claiming the company only came down so hard because she was active and outspoken in the worker's union.
Of course there are recent problems with Big Brother type behaviour in supermarkets and a Tatort episode that dealt with the pressure in discounters so there are probably other issues that need to be looked at in the future, for example how the company became aware she withheld the receipts.
However, I hope that she'll lose every single appeal. The amount she has stolen doesn't matter; all that does is that she intentionally withheld money. How can someone be working at the tills dealing with hundreds of Euros on a daily basis if there is no trust?

Radio Script
Cook Inlet Belugas
Don't have RealAudio player? Download free software.
INTRO: Beluga whales in Alaska's Cook Inlet near Anchorage are thought to be genetically unique among the 50,000 belugas that live in waters off Alaska. That's why, when their population reached a new low last year, Congress passed restrictions on subsistence hunting by the state's indigenous Natives. Now, as Doug Schneider reports in this week's Arctic Science Journeys Radio, belugas are poised for a comeback.
STORY: Any day now, salmon will begin returning to their spawning grounds in Alaska's Cook Inlet. And you can bet beluga whales won't be far behind. The sight of dozens of beluga whales hungrily chasing their favorite prey is a sure sign that spring has arrived in Alaska.
And this year, more beluga whales are expected in the inlet, thanks to new restrictions on subsistence hunting by Alaska Natives. Dr. Doug DeMaster is the director of the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in Seattle, Washington.
DEMASTER: "The good news is that at least in 1999, there was a legislative fix put into place in cooperation with the Native hunters and there was no harvest of any Cook Inlet belugas this year. Clearly, getting a handle on subsistence harvests is a very important contribution to the recovery of this stock."
Alaska Natives have each year harvested anywhere from 20 to 100 of the inlet's beluga whales for subsistence food. But overhunting has taken a toll. Beluga numbers have dropped some 65 percent in Cook Inlet since the 1980s, when more than 1,000 of the small white whales plied the inlet. Last year, federal biologists estimated the population at just 357.
With hunting restricted, DeMaster is optimistic the population will show growth when it's surveyed again this summer. Eventually he'd like to see the population recover to 1994 levels.
DEMASTER: "Where we saw it in 1994 certainly wasn't the peak. That was after considerable harvest that we think knocked the population down already. If we can get the population back up to 650, we'd be feeling pretty good about things."
To ensure the beluga's recovery, the National Marine Fisheries Service is going ahead with its plan to list the Cook Inlet beluga whale as a depleted species under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The listing gives the fisheries agency regulatory control over hunting. But, ironically, such a listing could eventually allow limited hunting of the whales, perhaps as early as next year.
DEMASTER: "A stock that is formally listed as depleted allows the fisheries service to regulate Native subsistence harvest. And then, working within a co-management arena, the goal would be to try to agree to take levels on the order of perhaps one or two animals a year. I know that's a very small number but at this point we think that taking more than one or two animals a year will increase recovery time more than the agency is comfortable with. We're trying to be consistent with mandates under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and we're working with the Native community. But at this point one or two I think we could justify. More than that would be difficult."
DeMaster says his agency's decision to list the species as depleted, and a resumption of hunting, likely will trigger a legal challenge, either by environmentalists, development interests or Alaska Natives themselves.
DEMASTER: "There's very strong feelings out there about whether or not this population should be hunted at all. Other people have said the population should be listed under the Endangered Species Act."
With protection and limited hunting, DeMaster expects the population to grow at about five percent per year. At that rate, it will still take about 25 years for the population to rebound to 650 animals.

Support from Mountain View residents may be all that is required to quickly clean up a small toxic groundwater plume at the north end of Sierra Vista Avenue that was left behind by an early Silicon Valley circuit board manufacturer.
On June 15 a meeting is set for residents to discuss several options for cleaning up the trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination left behind by CTS Printex, which is said to have dumped the solvent into the groundwater in the 1970s and early 1980s. The contamination has largely moved north from the company's former location, now occupied by three-story town homes at the east end of Plymouth Avenue. But the contamination still presents the potential of toxic vapors being released into the air and into buildings, and has made the groundwater undrinkable.
Depending on the methods used, cleanup could take anywhere from 15 years to 50 years, said Raymond Chavira, project manager for the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA is recommending the fastest method, which involves the use of microbes to break down the contaminants into non-toxic gases, while the slowest method relies entirely on natural bacteria to do the same.
CTS Printex, which still exists as Indiana-based CTS Corporation, is on board with the EPA's proposal to finish the cleanup quickly, once and for all, Chavira said.
The $1.8 million preferred alternative, which CTS would pay for, involves circulating the microbes in the most concentrated part of the groundwater, which measures 60 feet across and is 25 feet deep. The rest of the plume, which has relatively low levels of contaminants, would be cleaned through "natural attenuation" -- broken down by the natural bacteria in the soil over the course of 15 years.
Lenny Siegel, director of the Center for Public Environmental Oversight, said it appears that the EPA was doing a good job in coming up with a plan for the site, with lessons learned from similar efforts at the MEW Superfund sites in Mountain View's Whisman neighborhood.
Most of the contaminants are moving north towards the Bay. The highest concentration of the plume is now under a parking lot in the middle of a small complex of commercial buildings at 935 Sierra Vista Ave. and against Highway 101, where the plume appears to have stopped flowing north, Chavira said. Checks of groundwater wells north of Highway 101 near Google headquarters have found little or no TCE, Chavira said.
"This mass is in the parking lot there," Chavira said of 935 Sierra Vista Ave. "We can install our system in there, inject the microbes into the ground and recirculate it. It could take less than a year. Once we get this, everything else is basically natural attenuation."
"If we don't do anything, it might be 30, 40, 50 years to reach maximum cleanup levels. But if we can do this, we think it will be 15 years," Chavira added.
Chavira said the EPA would take into account the input of residents. "If in the end they say, 'We really don't care if it's 50 years or 60 years,' we will consider that."
EPA tests homes for indoor air safety
When Regis Homes built dozens of three-story town homes at the east end of Plymouth Avenue, every home was built with a sub-slab system to prevent vapor intrusion, and every home was tested after construction for indoor air quality -- a test every home passed, Chavira said.
Just across Plymouth Avenue, and closer to the "mass" of contaminants, is a housing complex at 917 Sierra Vista that was not found to have levels of indoor air contamination as a result of the plume that would warrant action, Chavira said. The Chinese Church in Christ across the street has not had its indoor air tested, but Chavira said the levels of contaminants in the plume, which sits under only a portion of the church, were below action levels. But if the church were to develop on its parking lot to the north, the EPA would have to review building plans, Chavira said.
The EPA is also coming up with possible requirements for future development over the plume which could be required to have expensive sub-slab systems to prevent vapor intrusion, depending on their location.
Another promising cleanup method uses pieces of scrap iron, buried in the water table, to chemically break down the TCE. This method could also take 15 years, but would cost $2.8 million, the EPA reports. Another alternative is to extract the groundwater and filter it for $4.4 million, but that's already been done and would likely be ineffective. Between 1987 and 1996, 106 million gallons of groundwater were extracted from the site and 99 pounds of TCE is believed to have been filtered out of the water, the EPA reports.
A meeting is scheduled for residents to give feedback to the EPA about its proposals on Wednesday, June 15. The meeting runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will be held in the second floor plaza conference room at City Hall, 500 Castro Street.
For more information, EPA project manager Raymond Chavira can be reached at (415) 947-4218 or email@example.com.

Government says stringent measures have been put in place to fight all forms of cyber threats to ensure the safety of public agencies and business owners in the country.
Speaking to a private radio station in Accra on Tuesday, the National Security Coordinator, Lieutenant Colonel Larry Gbevlo-Lartey was emphatic that the State has the capacity to deal with possible threats from all quarters.
Col. Gbevelo-Lartey's assurance follows the hacking of the official Ministry of Justice website by a group of Argentines demanding the release of the 'Libertad Frigate, a ship belonging to the Argentine Navy within three days.
He revealed that plans were afoot at taking steps to prevent further attacks on government agencies, stressing "… the gentlemen concerned with this are meeting and they are looking at mobilizing our emergency response team to look at the threat that was placed on the website."
"Everything in this country is going to be done according to the rule of law and so that is one line of action that we would have to look at. This world is full of metric warfare and it's not just about guns and bullets so this should not surprise anybody."
"If a group of persons in Argentina who feel aggrieved by this and use this kind of means to attack us... and if this is what the gentlemen want to do, then we will mobilize our capacity and we will counter what they are doing," the security chief asserted.

Pat Fenlon's Hibernian have been handed the opportunity to avenge their William Hill Scottish Cup final derby thrashing after being drawn at home to Hearts in the fourth round of this season's competition.
Hibs' last Scottish Cup tie was the 5-1 humiliation by their Edinburgh rivals at Hampden, but they are a much-improved team this season and sit level on points with Clydesdale Bank Premier League leaders Celtic, seven places above Hearts.
Today's draw also set up a Highland derby with Ross County hosting SPL rivals Inverness.
Rangers and Celtic were both handed home draws.
Ally McCoist's team face Irn-Bru Third Division rivals Elgin following their 7-0 third-round win over Alloa at Ibrox. City lost 5-1 in Govan on league duty in September but sit just two points behind leaders Rangers in the table.
Celtic face the winners of the third-round replay between Inverurie Locos and Arbroath. The Highland League side travel to Gayfield on Saturday following a 3-3 draw at the weekend.
The ties are due to be played on the weekend of December 1-2, earlier than usual in order to accommodate the SPL's mini-winter break in January.

The average price of a boxed video game falls by almost a quarter after just 30 days on sale.
New retail research – which includes pricing data from over 50 retailers – shows that games prices dropped 23.5 per cent after 30 days, 30.8 per cent after 60 days, and 39 per cent after 90 days on sale. This data looks at the 25 best-selling Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii games released in the past six months.
This means that after three months on sale, the average boxed game loses almost half its original price.
However, there were some products that bucked the trend. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and FIFA 12 were the only games that had an average price higher than £30 after two months on sale. The former rose in price by eight per cent after one month, from £34.98 to £37.99.
The game that held its value the most was Skylanders, which saw its average day one £46.89 price fall to just £45.99, £45.95 and £39.96 after one, two and three months respectively.
"Whilst it is not entirely surprising, the general trend appears to be the more hyped the game and the better its reviews, the longer its price has remained near its release cost," Christoph Hitchen, Idealo marketing manager, told MCV.
"Games which didn't receive many positive reviews were discounted heavily and more quickly. Need for Speed: The Run, for instance, was available for 38 per cent less only 30 days after coming out."
MCV will publish the full list of the top 25 games and their post-release prices in a forthcoming issue.

I've already posted here about vibration "problem" which turned out not to be a problem
my batch is 17, no gaps, maybe 1 in on top left corner on front but I'm not sure if its a gap at all, it has to be the smallest one if it is
I've been using my device for 2 weeks already, and I cannot say if I was ever happier with my purchase and choice as now.
Until today, I had no problems only 2 "scratches" on back and I'm not sure if they are scratches at all and they appeared after 3 days of buying the phone. But ok, they were hardly visible at all so no problem with then.
Today at the strong sunlight, I took the phone out of my pocket to change the FM Station and to see why was it so warm, on my surprise I found something that on first glance looked like a big scratch on front screen/glass. I didn't worry much, as I thought that it was just dirty, so I arrived at home, cleaned with special fiber towel and some screen spray and on my surprise found that whole front screen is in some tiny little "scratches" which appear on direct sunlight and look more like cracks, which they are.
-I've been extra careful with the phone, no drops, no pressures, no playing games making it warm, no dipping in water, no leaving phone on the edges or in pockets for long time, no sitting nor running while phone in pocket, it's in pocket only when I walk and I do not wear any skinny jeans or have small pockets or with any other objects with it and i take caution even when walking with phone in my pocket about it.
-As I said the batch is 17, in camera mode it gets fairly warm, had only once overheat message and that was when I played game and then tried to make 4k video and after few days I tried only once more 4k for about 4-5 mins, no message, never after that and I'm taking photos on daily basis. I think it's safe to say that i have overheat problem in general, since it gets sometimes even hot just when using radio or browser, I won't even talk about games, had only 1 and it was damn too hot after just few mins playing it.
-My battery lasts one whole day, with some % left after that, average screen time is between 4.5h and 6h, and i noticed that between 70% and 100% it discharges really fast. Only browsing takes my % too. I use it for viber, calls and messages mostly, and i said i take few pictures, maybe 4-5 max per day.
I bought it in Telenor, I brought it there and they told me that it's clear to them that it wasn't dropped or put pressure on it as the cracks are 'random', some of them quite long, and no impact spot and I repeat, they seem to be in early phase of evolving as they are thin and not that wide and not visible if not under strong sunlight,
but they all appeared in same time I think. One is even visible even when not on direct sun light as of today.
They said they will take it on Monday and give me a call within, usually, 10 working days with solution,
any opinions?

Toronto Grocery chain Metro Inc. reported a 6% dip in second-quarter profit on Tuesday. The company blamed competition in the province of Ontario for the loss. CanadaŌĆÖs third largest grocer said earnings fell to $57 million (C$58.1 million), compared to C$61.8 million for the same period last year. Canadian grocers have been hurt by a price-chopping campaign initiated by sector leader Loblaw Cos. The competitor has reportedly created this strategy to keep its customers from straying to Wal-Mart Stores.
Metro operates about 750 food stores under banners including Metro, A&P, Loeb, Food Basics and Marche Richelieu. It also runs about 260 pharmacies under the Brunet, Clini Plus, The Pharmacy and Drug Basics names.

Gosselin: Bill Snyder has overcome history and geography to turn K-State into a powerhouse
Jordy Nelson grew up just 20 miles down the road from Kansas State, a rabid Wildcats fan. But he's too young to remember the horrific years.
Not his father, though. Alan Nelson would attend Kansas State games back in the 1970s and 1980s using ticket stubs from previous weeks.
"They didn't care," said Jordy Nelson, a star receiver at Kansas State last decade and with the Green Bay Packers this decade. "K-State just wanted people in the building back then. They weren't even checking the tickets."
Those were the dark years — back when Kansas State couldn't sell out homecoming and regularly drew crowds in the 20,000s. In 1989, Sports Illustrated dubbed Kansas State "Futility U" and called the Wildcats the most hapless football program in the nation.
Almost a quarter century later, Kansas State is the only unbeaten team in the Big 12. This weekend, the Wildcats visit West Virginia in a battle for supremacy in the conference. The Wildcats will take a 6-0 record and a No. 4 BCS ranking into the game against the 5-1, No. 13 Mountaineers.
Futility U? For what Bill Snyder has done at Kansas State, he gets my vote for college football's coach of the century.
Like Nelson's father, I remember the dark years. I worked for United Press International in Kansas City in the 1970s and '80s, and the Big Eight was part of my coverage responsibilities. Many a Saturday I made that 21/2-hour drive to Manhattan to cover a Wildcats loss.
During my nine years covering the Big Eight, the Wildcats managed a 26-71-3 record. Many of the victories were in nonconference tilts against the likes of Arkansas State, South Dakota, Tennessee Tech and Wichita State.
The losses — wow, where to start? Kansas State was 0-9 against both Nebraska and Oklahoma and 2-7 against Oklahoma State. The Wildcats lost four years in a row to Tulsa and also were toppled by the likes of Drake, Northern Iowa, Long Beach State and North Texas. My coverage era was book-ended by a pair of 1-10 seasons.
Every year CoSIDA, the governing body for college sports information directors, rates school media guides for content and presentation. In 1981, CoSIDA graded the Kansas State guide down because it lacked a bowl section. CoSIDA didn't realize that Kansas State couldn't possibly have a bowl section because the Wildcats had never gone to a bowl.
The Wildcats did finally go to a bowl in 1982, parlaying a 6-5-1 record into a ticket to the Independence Bowl. But coach Jim Dickey took the unusual step of redshirting his entire senior class in 1981 to improve the school's bowl chances in 1982. That gave Dickey essentially two senior classes — and the school's first-ever bowl bid. The next year, the Wildcats again retreated to the dumps at 3-8-1.
But bad luck and bad football ended when Snyder arrived on campus in 1989. Not right away, though. Snyder inherited an 0-11 team and improved to 1-10 in his debut season. He managed his first winning season in his third year in 1991, then took the Wildcats to his first bowl in 1993.
Snyder also coached the Wildcats into the Top 25 in 1993, ending a 25-year drought. He cracked the top 10 for the first time in 1995 and broke into the top five in 1998 — scaling as high as No. 2.
The Wildcats now have a bowl section in their media guide. The school has gone to 13 postseason games under Snyder, including a couple of Cotton and Fiesta bowls. Kansas State also has a Heisman Trophy candidate this season in quarterback Collin Klein.
The geography hasn't changed. Manhattan remains in the middle of nowhere, hours from the big cities of Kansas City and Wichita. So it remains a difficult place to recruit.
But the state of Kansas has one of the best junior college football conferences in the country, and Snyder has tapped into it. He has 29 JC transfers on his roster and another six major-college transfers.
Snyder has converted Kansas State into Second Chance U — and succeeded by stressing the basics.
"It's his discipline," said Darren Sproles, another former Wildcat now starring in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints. "His teams don't beat themselves with turnovers, penalties, poor tackling. Kansas State is always a sound, fundamental football team."
And now, a successful one. One of the best in all of college football, in fact.
Who ever saw this coming? Not Alan Nelson and I.

MEMPHIS -- Bishop Gilbert Earl Patterson, the presiding bishop of the Church of God in Christ and a minister for almost 50 years, died of heart failure yesterday at Memphis University Hospital. He was 67.
The predominantly black Protestant denomination, based in Memphis, reports 6 million members worldwide and traces its origins to the 1870s.
"It was a direct result of his work, such as his TV ministries, that allowed people to see COGIC as it should have been projected," said jurisdictional Bishop Jerry Maynard, the chief operating officer of the national church, who had worked with Bishop Patterson since 1992.
"Under his leadership we've seen tremendous strides toward true spirituality," said San Diego jurisdictional Bishop George D. McKinney, a member of the church's General Board.
In 2005, Bishop Patterson told the church's annual convention that believers should overcome differences of race and culture to spread their faith. "I don't know why we ever got stuck on that thing that we're only supposed to witness to black folks," he said.

Fare Well...
You are among the best here on NG and we will miss you dearly... Excelent good bye song too! XD
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
A Brilliant Farewell?
Though short, like most of your songs, I'm simply awe-struck at its quality. Quite a farewell, I suppose!
Not as diverse as some of your other pieces, but in this case, I think that's a good thing. For once, simpler is better.
You've possibly put together one of the most suspense-building pieces on Newgrounds. It combines a good beat, a bit of fast paced music, and makes an overall interesting piece of work.
I do think that eventually, you could've changed the background so it wasn't as repetitive, but the melody did more than enough.
Great work! (And, this had better not be the last...)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
very good
nice dude, its awsome ...not my everyday type of music...but very diverse and and alot of effort into it..for some reason i liked the first 20 sec the most...
by the way..are you using REASON? or FL ?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Not another one...
Well, you have to do what you have to do. You and Milkman_Dan are 2 of the best out here on Ng, it's just a shame that it has to end but then again, all good things come to an end.
I have to say that i love the percussions in this track and the flute. I think the song kind of ended so suddenly. I mean right after the sleigh bell, i could have gone for another round :D
Ah man what else can i say, i hope you will get to read this one day. I just wanted to say thank you, honestly, thank you. Because of you and all the reviews that you gave me, it made me feel good about my music. It made me persevere and not give up. And today i can say that i have really improved because of you and others like you.
One day, i'm only dreaming here, one day i might become as good as you are right now and then i will say, "hey maestro come check my audio" XD
Seriously man, thanks again!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
But not even this song is worthy of your name.
This has your style written all over. It reminds me of the first of your songs that I've heard. It gets me thinking about heroes on the battle front duking it out for their Kingdom.
Since it's your Requiem, I'll give it a 10/10 although normally I'd give it a 9.5/10. You still could have done a tinsy bit more to make it sound different than your past works. But that doesn't really matter, that's just why I didn't give u 10 originality.
Keep on keepin' on!
I probably could have Rythim_Man, i'm not going to sit here and say "This is AS GROOD AS ITT GLETS!"
No, no song is perfect, and no song can cause a monoply. This was all in my earlier style, because I didn't just stop submitting Rythim_Man, I also felt like I had killed a part of myself that day. It is not easy, but was necessary, so that I may live once again. Thanks for the review Rythim_Man, means a lot to me.

A man whose face was crushed in a motorcycle accident now has titanium cheekbones made on a 3D printer.
Stephen Power, a 29-year-old dad from Cardiff, Wales, broke his cheek bones, eye sockets, upper jaw and skull in the 2012 crash, according to a statement from the National Health Service of Wales. He had emergency surgery to save his life, but doctors were unable to reconstruct the left side of his face at the time.
"He had damaged his left eye and the ophthalmologists did not want us to do anything that might damage his sight further," Adrian Sugar, a maxillofacial surgeon with the Center for Applied Reconstructive Technologies in Surgery, said in a statement. "So the result was that his cheekbone was too far out and his eye was sunk in and dropped."
Once Power's left eye had healed, doctors scanned 3D images of his face to design replica bones.
"It made sense to plan it in three dimensions and that is why 3D printing came in," Sugar said. "The technology allows us to be far more precise and get a better result for the patient."
See face transplants through the years.
The 3D replica bones were made from layers of medical-grade titanium, carefully crafted in the precise shape of Power's own bones.
"This is really the first time we've taken it to this stage, where everything to the very last screws being inserted has been planned and modeled in advance - and worked sweetly," said Sugar.
Power's left eye is still slightly raised, but Power said he expects it to "settle over the next few months."
"He has given us nine out of 10 - a good assessment and one I agree with," he said. "I'm glad he's not given us 10 because if he did, we would not have any way of getting better."
See more medical marvels capture in images.
Power said he used to hide his injury with glasses that he didn't need.
"I won't have to hide my face away and my confidence will be back," said Power, who also broke both arms in the crash and needed a bone graft on his mangled right leg. "I'll be able to do everyday things - go and see people, walk in the streets, just go to any public areas."
"To be honest I thought they did a good job in the beginning anyway because of how bad my accident was," he added. "But from this operation I can't really explain how well it has gone. It has just made me look a lot better. I take my hat off to them."

Hi! I am a 42 years old and considering a BL without implants, hopefully around the end of the year. I'm in the Columbus, Ohio area and looking for a PS who specializes in cosmetic surgery involving breast and has experience with African American skin. I'd like to start scheduling consultations with doctors who were referred and highly recommended as opposed to selecting doctors blindly (they all look good on paper :) ). Thanks in advance!
BL Without Implants -Columbus, OH
Hi! I am a 42 years old and considering a BL...
Two Consultations Scheduled
So I have two consults scheduled so far. The first is with Dr. Steven Robinson this Friday and the second is with Dr. Mark Preston on the 27th. Dr. Robinson did my upper bleph in December of 2011 and Dr. Preston was referred by a friend of a friend. I'm trying to learn as much as I can before the appts so I can ask educated and intelligent questions while there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I Should Add
I like the size of my breast, 38D, but I definitely wouldn't mind a smaller cup size.
It's Done
Hi All. BL with slight reduction was this morning. I was super nervous and scared, but everything went just fine. I woke up in a lot of pain which was surprising because in reviews I read many women said they had no pain immediately after. Well let me tell you, that was not my experience. My breasts hurt so bad that I cried :( On a positive note, other than the pain, I felt pretty good and was able to go home not too long after being in recovery. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow at 11. Hopefully I will be able to take some pics to post for you all. BTW, I chose Dr Preston to perform the surgery. Prayers up and fingers crossed that he was the best choice, but I think he was :)
First Post Op Appt
I had my first post op appt today. Dr Preston said everything looks good and not to worry about the funky shape of my breasts as they are swollen and will look better and better every day. I guess they look ok for being one day post op??? There's been very little pain today, but I did have to take a Percocet when I got home from my appt. So far I'm pleased with the initial results.
Four Days Post Op
Hey All! Not too much to update. It's been four days and the only time I feel any pain or discomfort is when I'm up and moving around for too long. My breast start to swell and feel heavy so I have to sit down. Here's a pic. It's not great but you can see they're starting to look better (at least I think they are???)
Was this review helpful? {{ voteCountOthers + ' other' + (voteCountOthers == 1 ? '' : 's') }} found this helpful


text: Ok. After the events of yesterday (whether you like them or not), where the heck does Denorfia fit it? Will he make the roster? As I stated in a previous thread, I would love to see him in the outfield now and keep Dunn at first. That would keep Hatteberg on the bench at least, and as for Womack, maybe he'll get lost on the way home from Florida. ;) Or, does anyone know how to contact Tonya Harding? Perhaps she could hook us up with a few...um...resources...:evil:

For many of Michigan's migrant farm workers, language barriers present a substantial obstacle to accessing services. Although all organizations that receive federal funding are required to provide equal services for their Limited English Proficient (LEP) clients, many do not. The testimony outlined difficulties encountered when attempting to obtain drivers' and marriage licenses at some Secretary of State's offices, in interaction with health care providers, county clerks' offices, the police, and with local hospitals.
LEP Issues are discussed on pg 53-58 of the complete report: www.michigan.gov/documents/mdcr/MSFW-Report3222010_315419_7.pdf (PDF)

The Albertsons that serves Imperial Beach is liquidating its inventory with a massive sale - most items are 10 percent to 25 percent off while supplies last - as the store prepares to close later this month.
The discounts are on packaged and fresh goods, some of which will eventually go down to 90 percent off. Today, a can of Campbell's Cream of Celery soup was 25 percent off $2.19, a 55-cent savings. A two-pound bag of Arctic Shores frozen, raw shrimp was 10 percent off $17.98, a $1.80 savings. A bottle of Korbel Extra Dry sparkling white wine was 25 percent off $13.99, a $3.50 savings.
The closure date is June 27, a store employee said.
The store at 1860 Coronado Avenue is technically in San Diego, but it's a staple grocer for Imperial Beach residents. It's closing because it didn't perform well, said company spokeswoman Lilia Rodriguez. Employees were notified a few weeks ago. Rodriguez said the closure is unrelated to the company's overall financial troubles. Albertsons Southern California Division announced this week that it would lay off between 2,200 and 2,500 workers in California and Nevada because sales are down and it's losing customers to competitors.
A typical Albertsons employs between 75 and 100 people. Not all the workers at the store will lose their jobs; many will move to other stores.
Most of the aisles are still well-stocked with products, but a few sections are running out of items. There are slim pickings in the plastic-wrap and diaper sections, but there are plenty of fresh eggs, bread, jarred baby food and frozen dinners in stock, as a few examples.

Hey, a friend and I are looking to start a disc golf club at the University of Louisville. If anyone here goes to UofL and would be interested in joining please like us on facebook (Cardinals Disc Golf Club).
The main point of this post though was to see if anyone else has started or is part of a college disc golf club. I was wondering what all you did as a club and exactly how it is run so me and my friend can get some ideas. As of right now we are probably thinking of just getting people involved and maybe having leagues or just something simple like that and then later hopefully being able to form a team from there. Also, to form this club we need to create some bylaws and it would be helpful if anyone can post bylaws for their club.
Any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

In the grinding death mill of the trenches of Petersburg, Virginia, in the closing days of the Civil War, a Union sharpshooter – a "long-shooter" named Ballou – emerges as the best sniper in a war where wholesale slaughter became the norm. Ballou perfected the art of the judicious killer. His ability with his cherished Stephens target rifle is legendary, making a nearly miraculous shot that no one else – North or South – could accomplish. After the war, he disappears… Samuel Roark is a small-time rancher and part-time lawyer. One personal tragedy after another leaves Samuel gripped by periodic bouts of depression. When a hidden marksman of uncommon skill murders his son, the death leaves Samuel on the brink of total madness. Roark's wife Sarah, a woman of strength, grace and startling beauty is now both emotionally and physically exhausted by the tragic circumstances that have beset her family. After discovering her husband's quest for revenge, she does everything in her power to prevent what she fears will ultimately destroy him. Matthew Shaw is a known manhunter and soldier of fortune that people call on when they're willing to pay someone else to deal with obstacles in their lives. When required, Shaw reluctantly uses his considerable marksmanship to achieve those ends. Now Shaw finds himself caught between a job he truly believes in, and a very good reason to walk away when he realizes he's falling in love with Sarah, the wife of the man who hired him.

Georgia freshman tailback Nick Chubb has earned the Southeastern Conference Freshman Player of the Week for the fourth time following the Bulldogs' 34-7 blowout versus No. 9 Auburn, according to a league announcement.
Chubb has garnered the SEC Freshman Player of the Week award four times this season and was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week following the Arkansas win.
This marks the 12th SEC weekly awards this season for the Bulldogs. Junior tailback Todd Gurley has been named the Offensive Player of the Week twice, senior inside linebacker Amarlo Herrera and senior STAR Damian Swann have each been named the Defensive Player of the Week once, freshman tailback Sony Michel has also been named the Freshman Player of the Week, freshman OLB Lorenzo Carter has earned one Defensive Lineman of the Week award and freshman Isaiah McKenzie has earned the Special Teams Player of the Week honor once in addition to Chubb's honors.
Chubb, a tailback from Cedartown, Ga., became the 12th Bulldog in school history to reach 1,000 yards rushing in a season with his performance against the Tigers. Chubb finished with 144 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns and hauled in two catches for 48 yards. Currently, he is second in the SEC in both yards per game (103.9) and total rushing yards (1,039) in 2014.
Chubb became the first Bulldog to lead Georgia in rushing and receiving in the same game since Todd Gurley did it in the 2014 Gator Bowl. Chubb scored his eighth rushing touchdown on a 4th-and-1 situation from the Auburn 9-yard line at the 8:48 mark in the second quarter to put Georgia up 14-7. He later scored his ninth rushing score on an 11-yard run in the final period.
In the last five games, Chubb has 815 yards on 121 carries (6.7 yds/carry) and seven rushing touchdowns. The Bulldogs have gone 4-1 during that stretch, including beating #23 Missouri and #9 Auburn by a combined score of 68-7.
The No. 9 Bulldogs (8-2, 6-2 SEC) play host to Charleston Southern (8-3, 3-2 Big South) in Athens, Ga., on Saturday, Nov. 22, during the teams' first ever matchup. The SEC Network will televise the game at 12 p.m.

Who do you hope the MVP nominee will be?
Who do you hope the MVP nominee will be?
"Just a little faith and both your feet leave the ground"
I say Amanda - will stir up the most drama and entertainment
"Just a little faith and both your feet leave the ground"
Show me .. Amanda!
I am the one lonely vote for Helen. I want her taken down a notch.
Amanda is fine with me, though. I like McCrae and want to see more of him in the vertical position.
I don't think she will go over Spencer though. It will be an interesting week!
My MVP votes went to Helen in a moment of being driven crazy by her But Amanda is probably a better nominee. I would be ok with either though. So I'll vote Amanda here.
When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power, the World will know Peace
Amanda or Helen will make my day.
Amanda but Helen would be fine with me as well
He who laughs last thinks slowest
#oldmanbeatdown - Donny BB16
Amanda, I want to see the look on her face!
The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
-Andy Rooney-
Amanda or Helen.....
Amanda or Elissa would make me happy. I don't think either would go over the current nominees, but they'd both have a hissy fit if they were up.
It was me. I let the dogs out.

Q. What is Haven of Rest Ministries?
Haven of Rest Ministries is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-denominational, Christian social service organization whose purpose is to serve and glorify God through a Christ-centered outreach of love and compassion that responds to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of disadvantaged men, women and children without regard to their race, color, creed or social standing. Learn more about our history.
Q. How is Haven of Rest funded?
The vast majority of Haven of Rest's support comes from individuals (90.5% in our 2009-2010 fiscal year, including "gifts-in-kind"). The balance is received from churches, businesses, organizations, and foundations.
Q. How are the funds donated to Haven of Rest used?
The major portion of every dollar received is used for programs and services that benefit needy and homeless people (78.1% in 2009-2010 fiscal year). View the current annual report.
Q. What programs and services are provided by Haven of Rest?
Food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, clothing for the needy; Resident Christ-centered discipleship/recovery programs for men and women whose lives have been shattered by drugs and alcohol; Counseling and assistance for homeless people who need help in obtaining social services; Community outreach events, including a summer picnic, sports camp for boys and girls in grades three through eight, Happy Birthday Jesus Christmas party for neighborhood children, and distribution of Hope Tote bags filled with personal care items to low-income and homeless persons.
Q. Who are the people who come to Haven of Rest?
For the most part they are men, women and children who, for a variety of reasons, have become homeless or are living at or below the poverty level. Many have been living on the streets and walk into Haven of Rest's day rooms seeking food, shelter, clothing and other forms of assistance. Others are referred to Haven of Rest by networking social service agencies, clergy, law enforcement personnel, and friends and relatives.
Q. What is the average age of those coming to Haven of Rest?
For 30-plus years of its history, Haven of Rest worked primarily with men in there fifties and sixties. Beginning in the mid-70 these traditional "skid row" individuals were joined by a new and rapidly growing group of homeless people. They were much younger and, for the first time, a sizable percentage of them were women, many of them single mothers. The majority of those now coming to Haven of Rest range in age from 18 to 35.
Q. What are the causes of homelessness?
Homelessness cannot be defined simply as "an absence of proper housing." It is better described as a condition of disaffiliation: a lack of bonds… a profound disconnection from other people and institutions. In a survey of homeless individuals, 75% of those interviewed said they had no family relationships or friends. They were so alienated from society's systems that they did not know how to take advantage of the social benefits available to them. Studies show that most homelessness today is precipitated by mental illness and/or substance abuse. It is estimated that 65% to 85% of today's homeless suffer from chronic alcoholism, drug addiction and/or psychiatric disorders. Homelessness occurs when these people drift into isolation, often running away from support. Depressed, abandoned, rejected, fearful and in poor health, they are propelled into a downward spiral.

He was contracted through the company he works for, for the position and the job is from June to October 15th, then the scope of work is complete.
It appears that either route, going after the company, the guards, as well as just leaving it alone, has made clean to him that he will never have a job opportunity with these companies again.
The law protects your husband's reputation against defamation so, if someone defames him, he can sue the person for money to compensate him for damage to his reputation.
If your husband can prove that someone libeled him (that is written defamation) and that person does not have a good defence, then a court will presume that your husband suffered damages and award him money to compensate for his damaged reputation.
The law treats slander differently than libel: with slander (verbal defamation), your husband has to prove he suffered damages, in the form of financial loss, to get compensation. It can be very difficult to prove this sort of financial loss. That's why most slander cases never go to court.
But in the following four examples, a slander lawsuit may succeed without your husband proving financial loss. Even though there's no permanent record of the slander, the law will presume damages, as if there were libel, if someone:

The victory, along with his fifth-place finish at round one, moves "Brownie" into the 2009 point's lead.Brown's teammate Justin Soule also delivered a best-ever performance, as he came up from an eighth-place place start to lead much of the race. Soule, who's best WORCS finish prior to this one was a fifth, led for over the first hour of the race. In the final 45 minutes, Brown caught and battled Soule for several laps. Brown eventually made the pass and took the win, with Soule earning a hard-fought second.Third place went to Team FMF Suzuki Off-Road's Nathan Woods who also had to come from the back to earn the final podium slot. Woods gated well, but a few bobbles and some ill-luck early in the race had him back in seventh before the two-time WORCS Champion put on a charge that eventually carried him up to third place at the checkered flag.Fourth place went to JCR's Honda's Tim Weigand who got the holeshot and looked as though he might run away with the race, but Weigand's water system came loose before getting caught in the front forks and breaking off. By that time Weigand had lost the leaders and had to make up ground to get into fourth.Team Valli Motorsport's Bobby Bonds rounded out the top five. Bonds, who was riding with torn ligaments in his thumb, put on several charges, but the pain and the brutally tough course kept him off the box for the first time in nine races.Round-one winner, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ricky Dietrich led early as well, but a loose radiator hose caused his bike to overheat, forcing the former champion to pit early for repairs. The overheating caused engine damage and Dietrich was forced to nurse his bike around the track well below his usual pace. He 24th, earning one point.By Joe Colombero Comments

I am dying a little over these beds with hairpin legs!

6 Responses to Won't You Be My Neighbor – Dallas, TX
This house is REALLY spectacular, if I lived in Dallas I would be begging to live here! And those beds with the hairpin legs – LOVE!!!
Great. Now I have to move to Dallas.
Wow, wow, wow. Dallas is looking super tempting now! Between the brick, the wood, the built-ins, and the gorgeous lines, I am absolutely drooling over this place!
US house prices drive me nuts. In Melbourne, Australia we're facing paying twice that much for a small 3br built in the 80s with no charm or style whatsoever. I want this house instead!
I love it, I'd move in , in a skinny minute!

While Malkin & Co. Continue Endless Circle Jerk On Wright, Deadliest Month Of 2008 In Iraq Gets Worse
Of course the Anchor Baby and company are blathering on and on about Jeremiah Wright. They desperately want to change the subject.
Wouldn't you, if your party presided over this debacle?
The killings of three U.S. soldiers in separate attacks in Baghdad pushed the American death toll for April up to 47, making it the deadliest month since September.
How are they going to message this? More of our troops getting killed means The Surge Is Working?
Dozens of fighters ambushed a U.S. patrol in Baghdad's main Shiite militia stronghold Tuesday, firing rocket-propelled grenades and machine gun bursts as the American offensive into the Sadr City neighborhood increasingly faces pockets of close urban combat.
U.S. forces struck back with 200-pound guided rockets that devastated at least three buildings in the densely packed district.
The U.S. military said 28 militia members were killed. Local hospital officials also said dozens of civilians were killed or wounded.
And here is the insanity of the occupation. Americans are fighting and dying in a conflict over which sect of Islam will rule Iraq, and in the process, are killing innocent Iraqis, whose shattered family members then retaliate against Americans, thus making the endless, vicious, violent pointless cycle complete.
100-Years McCain and the GOP know they can't win on the war. They can't win on the economy. They can't win on health care. Their agenda sucks ass. And they know it.
So they're going to do exactly what they did in '04 (Faggityfaghomogays) and '06 (Brownillegalwetbackmexicans). This time it's Wrightscaryangrynegro.
It's all they've got.

Monday on MSNBC's "NewsNation," Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) asked, "What would be the point in the president going?" with regards to a trip to the border during his trip to Texas to attend a fundraiser later this week.
Host Kristen Welker answered the congresswoman's question by saying, "Well to see firsthand this crisis right now that so many people are talking about and is impacting thousands of children."
"I think that he has people in place to take care of that situation. There have been leaders from all over the Congress to visit the border. The Homeland Security secretary has been there," she replied. "[I]f he chooses to go, I think it is fine, but I don't think he needs to go to get information. Information is readily available."
President Barack Obama is attending two campaign events in Texas this week. First on Wednesday the president will be at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser in Dallas. On Thursday, he is giving a speech at Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Austin. Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) has challenged Obama to come to the border and tour the facilities during his Texas visit.

I don't see that at all. This is what I get (version of numpy is 1.0.dev3233) In [33]: numpy.ndarray(buffer="a\x00b"*4, dtype="S4", shape=3) Out[33]: array(['a\x00ba', '\x00ba', 'ba\x00b'], dtype='|S4') which to me is very much expected. I.e. only terminating NULLs are stripped off of the strings on printing. I think you are getting different results because string printing used to not include the quotes (which had the side-effect of not printing NULLs in the middle of strings). They are still there, just not showing up in your output. In the end both numarray and numpy have the same data stored internally. It's just a matter of how it is being printed that seems to differ a bit. From my perspective, only NULLs at the end of strings should be stripped off and that is the (current) behavior of NumPy. You are getting different results, because the array-printing for strings was recently updated (to insert the quotes so that it makes more sense). Without these changes, I think the NULLs were being stripped away on printing. In other words, something like print 'a\x00ba' aba used to be happening. -Travis


text: Hello. I have two types for expression: data Expr = Add Expr Expr | Mul Expr Expr | Const Int data AExpr = AAdd AExpr AExpr | AConst Int The first one supports addition and multiplication and the second only addition. I can write a function to simplify the first expression: simplify :: Expr -> Expr simplify = {- replaces: "a*1" and "1*a" by "a", "a+0" and "0+a" by a -} And I would like to use the function simplify for the second type AExpr. What can I do is to convert AExpr to Expr, simplify it and convert it back. But I don't like this solution because conversions take some time. I would prefer following: I say to the compiler that AAdd is like Add and AConst is like Const and the compiler derives function asimplify for AExpr. Is it possible to do this? In fact I want to have two distinct types where one is "extension" of the second (Expr is extension of AExpr) and I want to define a function for the extended type (Expr) and use it for the original type (AExpr). I assume that the function won't introduce Mul to the expression which had no Mul. Thanks in advance Radek Micek

Cullerton mulls a solution while the savants incite panic
Friday, Jul 25, 2014
* After snidely whacking the "conservative savants" on his own newspaper's editorial board, the Tribune's always thoughtful John McCarron turns to Senate President John Cullerton for answers about how to deal with pension reform going forward…
That's actually brilliant. He's done it again. Whether the state could get the union to agree to such a change without a strike is another story, but it's probably worth a shot.
* And whether you agree with Cullerton or not, he's offering up more insight and thought than we'll ever possibly get from those afore-mentioned "savants," one of whom throws up her hands in the Tribune today about the future of pension reform and Illinois…
* From a March, 2014 report by the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability…
As I've been telling subscribers, we're at the top of the Jim Edgar "ramp." There is another significant bump up next year because the three biggest systems adjusted their ROI percentages after COGFA released its report, but then that's pretty much it.
And, as is obvious by the chart, most of the pension reform law's savings occur decades from now.
But the "savants" at the Trib (or anywhere else) will never tell you that. They'd rather just scare you into believing the worst without any actual facts. It's utterly and despicably shameful. Not to mention that nobody will ever give up a sweet gig at the Mother Ship and move to Hoosierland or the equivalent because pension reform is in peril. The Trib loves its victimhood.
