Since the early '90s, face-painted Detroit rap outfit Insane Clown Posse (AKA ICP) have created a wild world awash in vivid imagery and Faygo Red Pop, and grown it into a genuine phenomenon.
The band's legion of fans, aka Juggalos, are as infamous as the band, growing so massive that ICP hosts an annual "Gathering of the Juggalos" that draws thousands to indulge in a wide range of activities including performances by artists on the band's Psychopathic Records label, celerity hosts, wet T-shirt contests, a "Miss Juggalette" pageant and "Juggalo Championship Wrestling."
None less than the Federal Bureau of Investigation took notice of ICP and the Juggalos, and in 2011 issued the "National Gang Threat Assessment: Emerging Trends,"a report that classified Juggalos as a "loosely organized hybrid gang," with warnings that they'd begun expanding across the country and were known to "exhibit gang-like behavior and engage in criminal activity and violence."
While the initial report generated plenty of headlines and jokes regarding ICP and their fans, the band found the gang classification no laughing matter, and this week filed a lawsuit against the F.B.I. and the American Justice Department for the "unwarranted and unlawful decision" to tag its followers as criminals and subsequently treating them as such.
"Among the supporters of almost any group—whether it be a band, sports team, university, political organization or religion—there will be some people who violate the law," reads the suit. "However, it is wrong to designate the entire group of supporters as a criminal gang based on the acts of a few. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened here."
"The FBI had the impact they wanted: they scared people away from attending concerts and from affiliating together for the purpose of listening to music," said lawyer Saura Sahu, who's working with the ACLU of Michigan on the case to Rolling Stone, adding that the increased scrutiny resulted in a declined attendance at this year's Gathering of the Juggalos. The group also said they were forced to cancel a 2012 show in Royal Oak, MI, after local police cited the F.B.I.'s new gang classification of Juggalos.
The lawsuit also details how ICP fans have been specifically targeted by law enforcement, such as a Las Vegas resident detained in Tennessee for displaying an Insane Clown Posse logo on his semi truck. Another fan was told he couldn't join the military due to his "gang-related" ICP tattoos, and was still denied by the Army after having them covered with new tattoos (via New York Times). Another Juggalo already an Army corporal feels he is "in imminent danger of suffering discipline or an involuntary discharge" due to his ICP tattoos.
"At first I thought, wow, that's a compliment that our fans are that heard-of and that renowned," ICP member Violent J (born Joseph Bruce). "Then when I realized what's happening to the fans because of it, then everything turned around."
"We're not a gang, we're a family," said ICP's other member, Shaggy 2 Dope (born Joseph Utsler) "We're a diverse group of men and women, united by our love of music and nothing more. We're not a threat, a public menace or a danger to society."
The F.B.I. and Department of Justice have until March to either respond to the lawsuit or request that a judge throw the case out.

I'd like to have the implementation of Frobenius norms fixed. The current code, in scipy/linalg/basic.py does this: elif ord in ['fro','f']: X = scipy_base.mat(x) return sqrt(sum(diag(X.H * X))) This is a straightforward implementation of the formula: frob_norm(A) = sqrt(Trace(A*hermitian_conjugate(A))), [1] where A is a _matrix_, so that * is a true matrix product (not element-wise). Note, however, that this is equivalent to: frob_norm(A) = sqrt(sum_i(sum_j(|A_ij|**2))) [2] But [1] is an O(N**3) calculation, while [2] is O[N**2] for an NxN matrix, since [1] requires a matrix multiplication. The following will produce the right answer for complex matrices: sqrt(sum((a*conjugate(a)).flat)).real Here's a quick test of the difference, for a 1024x1024 complex matrix: In [27]: timing (1,scipy.linalg.norm,a) Out[27]: 7.7238250000000015 In [28]: def fnorm(a): ....: return sqrt(sum((a*conjugate(a)).flat)).real ....: In [29]: timing (1,fnorm,a) Out[29]: 0.12298099999999934 In [30]: scipy.linalg.norm(a)-fnorm(a) Out[30]: -2.2737367544323206e-13 Untested code valid for real/complex should probably be: if a.typecode()=='D': return sqrt(sum((a*conjugate(a)).flat)).real else: return sqrt(sum((a**2).flat)) 2. The matrixmultiply != bug I recently reported is _very_ serious for people working with large matrices. I also reported it in the numpy list, but nobody replied. Since scipy can trivially work around it with the one-liner I showed, I think this really should be done. Code for #1 is here (but test it further), and I posted the one-liner for #2 yesterday, so these two (IMHO important) fixes should take no time for a committer. Best, f

Women's World Cup Final sets new Twitter record
The drama-filled conclusion to the 2011 Women's World Cup set a new Twitter record as fans expressed 140 characters of excitement, grief, and admiration for Alex Morgan's pink sports bra at a rate of 7,196 tweets per second.
The influx of tweets handily beat out other Twitter traffic-heavy news events, including the death of Osama bin Laden (5,106 TPS) and the 2011 Super Bowl (4,064 TPS). While Japan's victory over the U.S. easily set a new record, it was nearly toppled in the same day when the Copa America men's quarterfinal match between Brazil and Paraguay went to penalty kicks and averaged 7,166 TPS.

With any hardware for a critical server, you need to ensure redundancy (RAID, etc) and for a critical server, you probably want either an automatic spare hd failover done by the RAID (the 2950 RAID can be configured to do this) or an entire spare server/replication solution. While x86 class dells aren't even in the same ballpark as say an IBM iSeries/pSeries for reliability, I haven't found their more recent boxes (2850, 2950) to be significantly worse than other vendors (HP might be a little better, but it's still x86 class hardware).

Warren County Local History by Dallas Bogan

The following article will relate the history and beginning of the early canal system through a portion of Warren County and through Ohio.
Miami Canal, Near Xenia
Lock 67, Shantee 706, June 16.
The Albany Microscope states that the bed bugs in that place grow to an enormous size. A traveler was lately waked up by a loud barking, which he discovered to proceed from the bugs around his bed, and in the morning he saw a remarkably impudent one sitting on his haunches on the hearth, picking his teeth with the fire- poker! Several occurrences, of a character less remarkable than the above, have taken place in the vicinity of my SHANTEE, on the Miami Canal. At this time, I am seriously apprehensive of imminent bodily harm to my laborers! In order, however, to secure them, as much as practicable, from the violent assaults of these voracious belligerents, I have employed a body guard of sixteen staunch Irish Jacksonians, armed with potatoe stalks, to act on the defensive only. By giving the above an insertion in your paper, you will oblige a friend to fair play.
SCRUB-BROOM James B. Gardiner, Esq. Ed'r P.P Xenia, O.
Twenty hours from Cincinnati to Dayton by canal was considered a rapid trip. Merchandise was brought to Dayton from New York by water in twenty days. The cost of freight per ton was seventeen dollars and twenty-five cents. The route was by the Erie Canal to Buffalo; thence by Lake Erie to Cleveland; thence by the Ohio Canal to the Ohio River, down the river to the Miami Canal, and up the canal to Dayton--a distance of one thousand one hundred and fifty-two miles.
A Congressional grant dated May 24th 1828 gave to Ohio 500,000 acres of land, to be sold by the State at $2.50 or more per acre for the payment of the canal debt. This was called the "Miami Extension." The upper Miami Canal had been slighted as to the advantages of the lower Miami Canal. The shipping of goods and produce on the canal proved to be of no use to the farmers in the upper part of the proposed Miami-Erie Canal. The promise of the completion of the northern section of the canal had not been started. This extension to Lake Erie was not granted until 1831. The actual construction on the extension did not start until two years later. Land was granted for the extension totaling 464,000 acres.
The complete construction of the Miami-Erie Canal from Cincinnati to Toledo took an incredible twenty years. There were actually three phases of construction. The Miami Canal, which extended from Cincinnati to Dayton, was completed in 1829. The next phase was the Miami Extension Canal which ran from Dayton to the interchange of the Auglaize and Maumee Rivers near the town of Defiance, its completion being in 1845. At the north end of the Miami Extension Canal, the Wabash and Erie Canal started and continued to Toledo.
"Early in 1831, an extention of the Miami Canal was begun. Continuing up the Miami Valley the "Extension" crossed the Mad River a mile and a half above Dayton, on a picturesque aquaduct. Some six miles further up, the Miami River is bridged by the stone arches. Thence the line rises rapidly, passing up ten locks, through Tippecanoe, Troy, and Piqua, to the foot of a battery of nine locks at Lockington, where it reaches up to the Loramie Summit Level of fourteen miles. Near the top of this battery the Sidney Feeder enters, supplying water for the locks and part of the Loramie Summit. Towards the northern end of the Summit stretch, the Loramie Resevoir feeder enters to furnish water to the eleven locks stepping down, within as many miles to the St. Mary's Level. Here another feeder leads in from the St. Mary's Resevoir. Thence the level drops down the Auglaize Valley, twenty-one locks within fifty miles, to Junction, passing through the towns of Kossuth, Spencerville, Delphos and Hammar. At Junction the "Extension" joined the Wabash and Erie Canal, which formerly connected Toledo with Logansport, Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute and Evansville, Indiana. The sixty-mile section of this latter canal which exists between Junction and Toledo, follows the Maumee Valley, dropping down a battery of nine locks at Defiance to the "Twenty-three mile" level, and thence passing Independence, Florida, Napoleon, and Damascus to a lone lock at Texas. Half way to Providence two more locks step down to the "Twenty mile" level, on which is situated Maumee City, eight miles and two locks from Toledo. Here a battery of six locks connects the canal with Swan Creek on the level of the lake. The Wabash and Erie Canal, begun in 1832 and finished in 1842, was abandoned west of Junction in 1854.
In 1836, the canal was complete to Troy. However, the financial status, in 1837, of the nation was bleak. The panic caught the State completely by surprise. The canals had drained the fairly new State to almost oblivion.
Funds kept coming somehow and on July 4, 1837, the canal was completed to Piqua, thus welcoming the first boat to reach this far.
In the valleys of the Miami and the Maumee, north of Piqua in the 1830's, was a large region consisting of over two million densely wooded acres. The clearing away of this region was nil. The main reason for the non-clearance of this area was the cost to have it done; this cost being in the neighborhood of $15 to $20 per acre. The market in the Lake area was great but the cost of transporting it was too much of a burden for this type of shipment.
The Miami Canal extension opened up in this area in the 1830's and the demand for wood and the new ship- ping methods allowed the wood to be ferried. This pro- vided a cheaper way to ship this product. Wood sold along the line of the canal for $2.50 or $3.00 per cord. Forests could be cleared and made the way for the plow at no cost to the land owners.
The distances between locks was highly irregular with one extremely long distance given as 23 miles. If the locks were evenly distributed as to mileage, the distance would be about one every 2 miles.
The "Miami and Erie Canal" was opened to Lake Erie in 1845 with the official name being designated in 1856.
The Miami-Erie Canal would not be possible without a water supply. Certainly huge reservoirs were to be made that would supply the canal's 244 miles and 105 locks. The Grand reservoir was built at Celina. The Loramie and the Indian Lake reservoirs were made by damming Loramie Creek and the Great Miami River respectively.
The Miami-Erie Canal brought a new revelation to the people interested in trading and selling their goods. The population that followed the canal tended to be a more business-like nature. Industry followed this waterway and made many towns what they are today.
The period of greatest prosperity of the canal was from 1831 to 1861, and the largest amount received in any one year since the canal was in use was $351,897.72, in 1851. The largest amount expended in any one year was $270,471.18, in 1852. From 1829 to 1888, inclusive of both years, the total receipts of the Miami and Erie canal were $5,969,432.56, the total expenditures, $4,352,454.79. On all the canals of the State, for the period from 1827 to 1888, inclusive of both years, the total receipts were $16,158,441.83, and the total expenditures $10,180,871.87.
The Miami Canal, between Dayton and Cincinnati, operated for years without any competition. Water was the cheapest transportation. However, turnpikes were coming and by 1840 these means were taking a bite out of the canal's profit. The tolls taken on the canal were $2,000 less in 1841 than in 1840. The Board of Public Works said: "This diminution is mostly produced by the completion of the turnpike roads, over which produce can now be transported to Cincinnati, if not more cheaply, at least frequently with greater convenience than on the canal. This effect would seem to indicate the policy of so arranging the rates of toll as to do away with this competition, either by increasing them on the roads or diminishing them on the canal."
The canal business started breaking up around 1877. With increased railroad and turnpike traffic the waterway was outdated. The Miami-Erie Canal had in 1905 approximately 600 miles still in existence. This mileage was in very bad shape. Public sentiment wanted it repaired, but, competition narrowed it down to extinction. The railroads picked up the grain, livestock and freight business. Passenger traffic abandoned the canal packet and turned to the speedier railroad. After 1913, only a few localized sections of the canals existed.
The canal was 248.8 miles in length and rose at its summit at Loramie of 512 feet above the Ohio River level. There were a total of 19 aqueducts, 3 guard locks, 103 lift licks, and 3 reservoirs.

Video: John Popper Offers Advice to Young Musicians
Blues Traveler's John Popper stopped by CNBC's The Kudlow Report to discuss the popularity of online streaming services and just how young musicians manage to make a buck in this industry. The answer, as Popper states, is to get out on the road, play your music and sell tickets. "Never count on a royalty check," Popper says, as they have become smaller and smaller over the years.
In the light of the newest popular streaming service Beats Music, launched by Dr. Dre and Trent Reznor in January, the topic of musician's livelihoods has never been more prevalent. Musicians like Thom Yorke have spoken out against services like Spotify, even going as far as to pull his material from Spotify. Pearl Jam famously fought Ticketmaster in the '90s, with the fued even reaching the courts. While it doesn't appear as if anyone is ready to take Spotify and Pandora to a judge, there is certainly trouble in paradise. Listen to Popper's thoughts below.

Two months ago I saw a red inflammatory mark on my nose, then picked at it, compressed it with too hot water & put dettol (antiseptic) on it overnight, resulting in a scab. Was recommended Perderm for 8 days. On close examination with a spotlight the area of skin on the top hasn't completely grown back. It's difficult to analyse the skin color, but it's probably light red/brown & better now than it was, although still sensitive.
Is the dettol still trapped underneath? What is the best treatment for this?

The NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (http://www4.od.nih.gov/oba/rac/guidelines/guidelines.html) contain procedures for the containment of rDNA research. The Guidelines apply to all institutions that receive NIH funding for rDNA. All Investigators at the institution must comply with the Guidelines, even if their individual research is not funded by NIH. Consequences of noncompliance include suspension, limitation, or termination of NIH funds for rDNA research at the institution, or a requirement for prior NIH approval of rDNA projects at the institution.
The original guidelines were issued in 1976 due to public concern for safety, environmental impact, and ethical implications of rDNA research. The purpose of the guidelines is to specify safe handling practices and containment levels for rDNA molecules, organisms and viruses containing rDNA molecules, and transgenic animals.
Responsibilities under the Guidelines:
The following incidents must be reported to NIH OBA within 30 days: any significant problems or violations of the NIH Guidelines, e.g. failure to adhere to the containment and biosafety practices in the Guidelines, any significant research-related accidents and illnesses, e.g. spill or accident leading to personal injury or illness or a breach in containment, e.g. escape or improper disposition of a transgenic animal.
The following incidents require immediate reporting to NIH OBA: spills or accidents involving rDNA requiring BL2 containment resulting in an overt exposure, e.g. needlestick; splash in eyes, nose, mouth; or accidental aerosolization/inhalation.

I hope I'm not starting a licensing flamewar here, but your licence section reads:
This module is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. See L.
Now, the same terms as Perl (?) itself, if we assume that Perl == perl 5, would mean a dual-GPLv2-and-above and Artistic 1.0 *only*. Now, the Artistic 1.0 licence is very vague and is considered neither GPL-compatible nor free by the Free Software Foundation [fsf.org]. And the GPL is well, the GPL [gnu.org] and has its own res
I don't care. Show me someone who is having a problem.
With respect, by the time there is a problem, it's rather too late to change the license text.
I've updated my modules to read that they are available under the same license as the Perl 5.8.x series.
That's a different matter (and thanks for pointing it out; I'ma fix my module template right now).
What Shlomi is asking for is a complete change of licences. Now, neither option in the Perl (5.8) licence is my personal best preference. (I like the LGPL best.) But that's how 99.5% of the CPAN is licensed, and since these terms don't cause big problems in practice, there's more value in not forcing the user to evaluate yet another licence than there is in having slightly better
I misunderstood your concern; I agree with the desire to stay compatible with the rest of the CPAN.

Keeping at abeyance the sealing of illegal mobile phone towers in the city, the Delhi High Court on Monday ordered the central government and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to form a panel and file a report by Sep 15 on regulation of towers.
Justice Kailash Gambhir said the department of telecommunications and the MCD commissioner will set up the committee of medical and technical experts and NGO representatives to look into health risk caused by illegal towers and the regulation policy for towers adopted in developed countries.
"The secretary, telecommunications, and the commissioner, MCD, shall constitute a broad-based committee of technical and medical experts who can examine all these various studies and the technology and policy adopted by the developed countries in regulating the installation of cellular towers and antennas," the court said.
Speaking to reporters after the hearing, MCD Additional Commissioner R.K. Srivastava said: "We will abide by the high court orders."
Justice Gambhir said that till the time the court does not come up with a final decision on the matter, the telecom operators will deposit Rs.2 lakh per each illegal tower in the high court.
"And if two mobile companies are sharing a tower, then an additional Rs.50,000 should be deposited," said Justice Gambhir, hearing a petition filed by cellphone operators against a sealing drive launched by the MCD against illegal towers.
The sealing drive against illegal towers is on hold for now.
There are 5,364 mobile phone towers within the MCD's jurisdiction in the city. Of these, as many as 2,952 have been declared illegal for having come up without the civic agency's authorisation.
Under the revised MCD guidelines unveiled Feb 9, the licence fee to be paid by a telecom operator to the civic agency for installing a tower has been increased from Rs.1 lakh to Rs.5 lakh.
Cellular operators have, in their petition, termed the hike totally arbitrary. "The licence fee earlier was Rs.1 lakh for 20 years, which has now been increased to Rs.5 lakh for a period of five years. When the MCD increased the fees, did it make any arrangement to increase the facilities attached to the tower?"
The MCD has sealed about 300 towers in the past few months. But 41 were again made operational after the phone companies completed the formalities.
According to the civic agency, mobile operators who have set up towers illegally were given one month's time to get these regularised. The deadline expired in the first week of May.
On the last date of hearing, the MCD informed the court that it is not ready to lower the licence fee.
The court on May 13 restrained the MCD from sealing illegal mobile towers till May 24, while asking the civic agency to explain the grounds for hiking the licence fee.
The MCD had filed a detailed reply explaining the rationale behind the increase in the licence fee and said: "Our main concern is to regularise the towers as they are a great health hazard and public at large will suffer."
But the court was not impressed with the MCD's reply and said: "Your reply is not satisfactory and you failed to establish the correlation between the fee hike and the benefits linked to it."

GAINESVILLE — In his continuing effort to find creative ways to teach his team, Florida coach Billy Donovan decided last week to put his players through a game-simulated practice prior to Saturday's game against LSU.
The Gators practiced, took about 8-10 minutes midway through to watch film on LSU, then returned to finish. The objective was to make sure the Gators understood the importance of withstanding opponents' second-half runs.
"Our last practice, we did like a two-session practice where we went in and watched film, and played it like it was halftime," freshman guard Kenny Boynton said. "The main focus of that was to come out after halftime strong, and that's what we tried to do tonight."
The changeup translated well into the real world.
Having allowed LSU to pull within seven to end the first half, the Gators opened the second with a 15-2 run in the first 5:22 to put the game out of reach, earning a 72-58 win over the Tigers at the O'Connell Center.
The Gators (12-5, 1-2 SEC) avoided going 0-3 in conference play for the first time since 1982.
"There was no talk about (the possibility of going 0-3), but we knew," junior forward Alex Tyus said. "We came out and got the win, and now we're a little bit more relaxed and we can keep getting better. That was one of the most balanced games we've played all year. And for the first time we came out in the second half and didn't really have a letdown."
Florida led by as many as 15 in the first half, but the Tigers (9-8, 0-3) rallied late to pull within 37-30 at halftime, just missing on a late jumper that could have made it a five-point deficit. Senior forward Tasmin Mitchell scored eight of LSU's nine points in the final 5:34 of the half.
The Tigers seemed poised to start the second half with some momentum, but things never materialized that way. In the midst of Florida's 23-6 run, forward Chandler Parsons scored six consecutive points.
Parsons, who got his first start of the season because Dan Werner was suffering from the flu most of the week, finished with 11 points (3-of-6 from beyond the arc) and five rebounds.
LSU's Storm Warren scored a basket with 18:51 left, then the Tigers went scoreless for the next 4:29. Mitchell, who had 15 of his 17 points in the first half, scored his only second-half basket with 5:27 remaining. LSU struggled most of the night to find its shot and at times played with three freshmen on the floor.
"We are having a hard time, physically, coming back-to-back with maximum effort, which is what you expect with a young and inexperienced team," LSU coach Trent Johnson said.

My dermatologist suggests I get a silk peel for my acne marks but I have 2 burn scars from retin-a and benzoyl peroxide mixture use I was wondering if the silk peel will improve those also?

{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
Silkpeels allow the technician to customize the solutions used, infusing different topicals into the skin for different things while receiving a microdermabrasion too. Because your scar has color in it, it will actually help improve this and lighten it. Make sure you point it out to your technician so she/he can use the right solution (I'd pick Lumixyl) to help alleviate the discoloration.

Statement of Purpose
Local economic conditions have been the focus of the Economic Forum offered by the College of Business Administration. The Forum, which brings together business managers, educators, and community leaders, was held in the spring of 2012, 2013, spring and fall of 2014, and fall of 2015. At the first three forums, Dr. Keith Philips, Senior Economic and Policy Advisor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas-San Antonio Branch described national economic conditions. At the Spring 2014 forum, Mr. Vincent Capell, Kingsville's City Manager, described how his organization is responding to the reported economic conditions. At the Fall 2014 Forum, Ms. Barbara Canales, Corpus Christi Port Commissioner, shared information about its rapid expansion making it the fifth largest U.S. port by tonnage. At the Fall 2015, Ms. Judy Hawley, Commissioner and Chair of the Corpus Christi Port Authority provided forecasts regarding increases in tonnage and diversity of products leaving Corpus Christi. Regional economic conditions have been presented by Tom Krueger, Texas A&M University-Kingsville College of Business Administration Professor of Finance, who is the initial recipient of the J.R. Manning Endowed Professor of Innovation in Business Education designation. Kleberg Bank has provided funding for this project.
In 2012, Kleberg County's economic conditions were compared to that of two adjacent counties, Brooks County and Jim Wells County. In 2013, Kleberg County's economic conditions over the past forty years were examined. In spring 2014, Kleberg County was compared to two Coastal Bend counties with similar populations, Aransas County and Bee County. At the Fall 2014 forum, an analysis of the impact of oil and natural gas production in the closest county with drilling (Live Oak County), was compared to Kleberg County and the in-between Jim Wells County. The 2015 Forum contrasted economic conditions of Kleberg County to that of Randall County (home of West Texas A&M University) and Waller County (home to Prairie View A&M University), as a way to expand upon the economic impact study completed for all Texas A&M Universities which was completed in the spring of 2015.
A highlight of the presentations is the sharing of results from a survey of forum participants, local residents (conducted by the Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity), and Texas A&M-Kingsville students. In the most recent survey, approximately 40 percent of surveyed Forum participants (who tend to come from the business, financial, and academic communities) and students had positive expectations regarding the future. However, only 32 percent, 26 percent, and 16 percent of local residents were confident about the U.S. economy, local economy, and their personal economy, respectively. Forum participants perceive more business support arising from the local community, local government officials, and Texas A&M University-Kingsville, than is being perceived by local residents or students. On average, support is perceived to exist among two-thirds of Forum participants. Unemployment is a much more important concern, jumping from typically being out of the top five concerns to being listed third greatest concern among participants, fourth among local residents, and third among students. On average, the top three priorities for additional government spending are roads ($21 per $100), public education ($17 per $100), and infrastructure ($12 per $100), accounting for over half of the allocation of any new funds. In summary, the primary "take-away" from the Fall 2015 Economic Forum is that although Kleberg County has significant challenges (i.e., poverty, taxes), it is expected to do better than Randall County, Waller County, Texas overall, and the United States as a whole, which is a sentiment reflected in the responses of survey respondents and students, though not as strongly by local residents. Continued economic growth at the Port of Corpus Christi is perhaps one driver of this confidence.
By knowing one's current economic condition, it is possible to gain an understanding regarding what that person's future may hold. A copy of the booklets distributed at each Economic Forum can be identified by clicking on the respective link.

I can't believe this song didn't get high scores.
It's really one of your best Ken.
But anyways...
Newgrounds is mysterious.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I like this aloot
Its very consistent, as in it doesn't punch you in the face with huge blasts or gigantic melody changes. I really like classical and this song is really nice. Very cheery and pretty while still being masculine. Can a song be masculin? Well this is, did I hear a clarinet in there? I know there was a violin. Keep it up this is great stuff.
Ur #1 Fan.
Close, there was a flute.. but I'm getting new instruments, maybe I'll change these and try out the new ones later.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
well naturally
It's inspired. Very modern sounding. You're probably one of the few people who can an instrument like that period.
What did you use for the piano?
Yeah, it's been a while since I made a classical piece.. still as fun though :).
I used Garritan's personal orchestral.

Clergy meet; national bishop writes SC diocese
Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:51:37 GMT —
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Clergy and delegates from one of the oldest Episcopal dioceses in the nation meet this weekend in Charleston to discuss the future after splitting with the national church over issues including the ordination of gays.
But in a letter to the diocese on Thursday, national Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori says the diocese cannot leave the mother church.
Representatives from many of the 70 congregations in eastern and southern South Carolina plan to gather Saturday in Charleston.
Last month local Bishop Mark Lawrence was notified by the national church's Disciplinary Board for Bishops that he is considered to have abandoned the national church.
Local leaders earlier passed a resolution saying the diocese would leave the national church if it took any action asserting authority over the local diocese or its leaders.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
did you find any name? can you help me? i dont know how to find one.
thank you
sure, which CRA are looking for an email address for?
04-10-2009 12:13 PM - edited 04-10-2009 12:18 PM
I assume when you emailed you had to provide you SSN ...or did you get a report first and cite the report number only??
I'd love to do this to get a couple of things corrected which I've not been able to do by traditional dispute methods.
(ie: getting all 3 CRAs to delete my DH's Discover acct from my report since I'm no longer AU..and Discover has confirmed over and over for me since January that I'm off his account....but still showing on all bureaus and after disputing came back "verified". )
I'm just a little leery of emailing with a lot of sensitive info like SSN and Acct #s since email's not secure.
ETA: just tried to the "@equifax" thing but didnt get a list of names. Am I missing something with that??

He couldn't be more wrong.
It's not enough that Natalie Reynaud, the woman who has become the center of his life, is five hundred miles away, working a dangerous undercover operation in Toronto. Now Alex has even more problems when the men from the boat get tangled up with his best friend, Vinnie. It's all Alex can do to keep Vinnie from killing them or being killed by them.
With Vinnie in danger on one side of the border, and Natalie in just as much danger on the other, what comes next will be the absolute darkest hour of Alex's life, beyond anything he's ever faced before.

"Good Story; distracting narration"
While this is the first audiobook of his that I've read, I'm a fan of Steve Hamilton, and have enjoyed his other books. I still have two to read yet.
I was distracted and annoyed by the narrator's strange dialects for Canadian and Indian characters; even stranger-sounding attempts at female voices.
I would have preferred a straight reading, without the voice "acting". In one instance, dramatic whispers were very difficult to understand, even when I replayed that section with increased volume.
There are a couple more Hamilton books I've been looking forward to, but I have serious doubts of buying audio books of they're narrated by the same person.
"easy to listen to"
I don't know why this was so enjoyable it may not be the greatest story in the world nor is it a literary tresure. It is some great storytelling.
It didn't suffer from unbelievable plot twists it was a pleasurable experience start to finish. Never slow without forced action. Good character development.... I have to get more from this author.
"Repeated a lot of back story"
This is number 7 in the Steve Hamilton series and there is a great deal of repetition recapping everything that happened in the first six books. I would have preferred more focus on this story as i have read the first six books...but still a good story a good read.
"reLly enjoy this series."
grest read or audio book. Will there be anofher book in tthis series coming outout ?soon I .?love you series.
"No Second Amendment"
I am tired of paying for books that are supposed to be mysteries but turnout to be political positions. This is the case with Stolen Season. Throughout the book the evils of hand guns is pushed. The ending of the book could be a speech given by the anti-gun lobby president.

La Jolla lifeguard tower rife with cost overruns
Baby bird, seal-pupping, and bad waste pump blamed for budget surprises
Matt Potter 4 p.m., Sept. 21
(Page 2 of 2)
continued "I wanted to hear what they had to say. And what they're saying in there really makes me think," she half-shouted over the music. "Now I realize the Chiapas people don't really have the means to make themselves heard because the government doesn't take them very seriously. They're crying for help. Just because they don't have money or good houses, they're still Mexicans, and we're all equal here."
* * *
Half an hour has gone by.
"They need this time together," says Margarita, Juan Bañuelos's wife, who teaches at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Tijuana. "They have been facing crowds of people like us all day. They weren't expecting your request."
Margarita says she and Juan visited Chiapas about 17 years ago. "We saw the misery then. Their world is so...different. And last week, when they arrived in Tijuana, they were barefooted, with only the clothes they had on their backs, and a lot of their clothes have been handmade and are very worn with use, and you could see where the women sewed, resewed, and resewed. That makes your heart just cringe. I don't care whether you're a rightist, a leftist, or centrist, the bottom line is that we're all human. It's a moral issue."
She says that when the Zapatista uprising erupted on January 1, 1994, she and Juan could identify with what was going on. But it was the December 1997 massacre in Acteal, in which 45 Indians, mostly women and children, were killed by paramilitary gunmen, that propelled them into action.
"I started to cry. I told my husband, 'It is useless to shed tears. That doesn't help anyone. We need to become much more actively involved.' So we educate people. We show videos. Some people express fear because the Mexican government in the past has been very repressive. But I think since the establishment of the Iberoamericana human rights organization in Mexico City, people are taking more risks. Still, there is a great degree of fear."
"We don't like to talk about violence, because we're a pacifist group," says Margarita. "I square that with supporting [the armed Zapatistas] because they have tried for many years to be heard and to have their needs met, and they haven't been met. They took up arms for eight days in 1994. Five years ago. They haven't fired a shot since. One forgets that. But yet there are still 60,000 Mexican military personnel in the state of Chiapas.
"I hope the government sees this worldwide consulta as a big exclamation point. As a neon sign. A rattling of the drums," she says.
The door opens. "Okay," says Juan. "They say okay."
Three of them -- men only -- sit together on the small stage in the little white-walled conference room next door. Sounds from Calle 10 and from the upper reaches of Revolución drift up through the windows.
"My name is Oscar," says the first man. "I am 45 years old. I have 8 children. All of us here are Tzetzatl people."
"My name is Lucas. I am 20. I have no wife. I decided to join the Zapatistas when the needs became too bad. Our health, our lives were so unhappy, we all decided to join the struggle. We are not soldiers, but we support the army."
"My name is José Carlos. I am 22. I have three children. We are campesinos. We grow maíz and frijol. I have no animals. No burros."
Maybe because he is the oldest, Oscar talks the most. They can't say anything about the Zapatistas' military policy. But he tells how this struggle started as their own local problem and is now, he believes, a national problem.
"Our army arose because we indios were forgotten by the government. We felt that we didn't have education, hospitals, and did have so many problems. And we wanted to govern ourselves, we Indians. Because the tradition of our ancestors is that each pueblo -- village -- determines how it wants to govern itself. We select our leader in each community.... So we decided to fight for the autonomy of the indigenous peoples. We want the government to respect our autonomy.
"There are 56 ethnic languages within Mexican territory. All [ethnic minorities] have the same problems that we have in Chiapas. Forgotten people. The Tarahumara people, Mixtecas, Zapotecas..."
Oscar says Tijuana is different from anything he's known before. After weeks of canned donated food, they are all looking forward to getting back home. "I miss my fresh tortillas, my frijolitos," he says. "They're not as fresh up here." The others nod. For the first time, they saw sandwich bread. They were offered spaghetti, hot dogs, hamburgers. The hamburgers they never could eat. "But the emotion people have shown toward us here gives us hope to go home with," he said.
"Before the Zapatistas were almost a myth," says Celith, who also teaches at Universidad Iberoamericana. "But now here they are. Real people. Even my boyfriend had always said, 'I don't care. You do whatever you want about them. That's your trip.' But then he met them. Saturday, he said, 'You know what? I think otherwise now. I really see the problem. I see that there has to be something done.' "
As we're leaving, I think of Mr. Hernández, the cab driver, and his criticism. I ask José Carlos why he and his comrades always wear the pasa montaña, the face mask.
His eyes study me for a long moment. "We have our reasons," he says, warily. "One is, your photographs might be seen by the Mexican army. They may recognize us when we return. We can't trust the government."
Second, he says, Zapatistas have decided on principle not to take their masks off, as a protest, since the government backed down from things they agreed to in 1996 in the Accords of San Andrés.
And the third? "Nobody has cared to see our faces over the last 500 years. What difference does the sight of our faces make now? If you didn't care before, why would you care now?"

What form of B12 are you using? Cyanocobalamin isn't well utilized, and sublingual is easiest to absorb. If you've been eating meat but are still low on B12, I'd also look for a zinc deficiency - does eating beets turn your pee pink? You can also buy zinc sulfate and do a taste test for a more 'official' test.
It matters in the sense that you can't properly treat your Hashi's until your Adrenal Fatigue has been addressed.
Re: your gluten comment above this one, it's strongly recommended that anyone with an autoimmune disorder s/a Hashimoto's go off of gluten as it's been shown to exacerbate autoimmune conditions.
I have no link, but hopefully someone else will.
Hmm, dd would totally do the same thing, but i would figure the more she eats, the less i have to
Where is everyone finding their liver?
No, it's great! It means now you have another huge piece of the puzzle to get healthier!
Most stuff I read about AF says that the most important thing you have to do to heal yourself is to reduce stress in your life. This is so, so hard for me, especially since I have so little tolerance for stress to begin with, so things that might not be stressful for a "normal" person are stressful for me.
Speaking of liver, I need to go cut some more liver so I can stay consistent. The biggest challenge for me is that when I cut the liver, my 2 yo stands right next me, eating it almost as fast as I can cut it. I like that he likes it, and I know it's good for him, but it's just too much work! If he asks for some when I'm taking it, I give him a couple pieces, which isn't a problem. It's when he chows down on it and I can't enough cut last me more than a meal or two. I guess there are worse things.
I take the liver at breakfast and at dinner, and if I'm home I take it at lunch, too. Dinner is usually about 4 hrs. before bed. The only time I had trouble sleeping was when I was trying to make up for lost time (I missed the liver at breakfast and lunch) and took it both at dinner and at bedtime. Bad plan! But dinner is OK. I take between 8-12 little chunks at a meal.
I'll have to remember that about running it under warm water. Would it work for a whole liver? We got some liver from some neighbors who butchered 2 grassfed steers. When I asked for the livers, I figured they'd be sliced, or in smallish packages, but they were WHOLE. I still haven't figured out what to do with them. The other liver I get is always in 1-1.5 lb. packages, all sliced up. I lay those slices out on parchment and let them freeze. Then I remove them from the freezer, and it only takes them a couple minutes to be right for slicing. It would be great if it were as easy as running a portion of the liver under water, for the whole livers.
re: Hashimoto's
mom61508, have you heard about LDN (low-dose naltrexone)? What I've read is that it works so well for Hashi's that you have to be really careful with dosing (both with the LDN and with thyroid meds). Anyway, I thought I'd mention it. I just recently started taking it for MS. So far, my eczema is gone, but nothing else that's easy to put a finger on. I just notice that if I miss it I don't have quite as good a day the following day. I'm not complaining, though, because the biggest thing it does for MS is to stop disease progression, and that's a longer term sort of thing to notice.
It's true it's not natural, as it is a medication. And because of that I almost didn't post about it here. But it is a super low dose, and it works to help the body to work as it should, with few if any side affects. And for many with an autoimmune disease, it's really the lesser of "evils". Just an FYI, I looked into it a lot, and it's safe to take while breasfeeding (even in the higher doses, which isn't what is used for autoimmune diseases).
But I don't want to push anyone to take it. I totally understand where you're coming from. It took me a few years to get to the point where it was something I wanted to try (although I do wish I'd tried it sooner, since I've had some neurological damage done in the meanwhile). In fact, it was only after trying natural method after natural method, and still having disease progression. Everything helped, and I'm absolutely going to stick with the lifestyle changes I've made, along with acupuncture and homeopathy. But for me, nothing stopped the disease progression, and I have two little boys depending on me. I don't know all there is to know about Hashi's, so I don't know if these things apply or not. I just wanted to throw it out there, in case you hadn't heard about it, and in case it was something that you would be interested in.
I consult with a classical homeopath from time to time, and he prescribes remedies.
I'm glad you're going to try being more consistent with your natural methods and see what that accomplishes for you. I'm sure it will make a difference for you. Like I said, it's made a real difference for me.
And like I said in an earlier post, if you need help with going GF, just ask. I'd be happy to help troubleshoot, and others here are GF too.
much thanks. I've been doing a lot or researching on GF. Do you make your own bread?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up there, cowgirl. Are you holding out on us? Share the wealth.
Sorry, didn't mean to leave anyone out. I was just trying not to derail this thread any more than I already have. And I can't really say there's any "wealth" here, anyway. Here's what I sent via PM:
I used to make GF bread, but haven't in a few years (we're grain-free now). I used a recipe in Bette Hagman's book The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread. Here is the recipe. I've included the directions for using a mixer (like a Kitchenaid), but I assume that if you just have a hand mixer that would work, too. If you use a bread machine, you'll need to follow the instructions that came with the machine.
Basic Featherlight Rice Bread
Dry Ingredients:
3 cups Featherlight Rice Flour Mix (I've included it after this recipe )
2 1/4 tsp. Xanthan gum (can substitute guar gum)
1 1/2 tsp. Unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 tsp. Egg Replacer
3/4 tsp. Salt
3 Tbs. Sugar (I left it out)
1/3 cup Dry milk powder or non-dairy substitute (I used almond meal)
2 1/4 tsp. Dry yeast granules
Wet Ingredients:
1 Egg plus 2 Whites
4 1/2 Tbs. Butter
3/4 tsp. Vinegar
1 Tbs. Honey or molasses (I used 1 1/2 Tbs. honey, since I left out the sugar)
1 1/2 cups Water (more or less)
Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan and dust with rice flour.
The water should be 110 degrees.
For both hand mixing and machine mixing, combine the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
In another bowl (or the bowl of your heavy-duty mixer) whisk the egg whites, butter (cut into chunks), vinegar, and honey until blended. Add most of the water to the egg mixture. The remaining water shold be added as needed after the bread has started mixing.
With the mixer turned to low, add the dry ingredients (including the yeast) a little at a time. Check to be sure the dough is the right consistency (should be like cake batter). Add more of the water as necessary. Turn the mixer to high and beat for 3 1/2 minutes. Spoon into the prepared pan, cover, and let rise ina warm place for about 35 minutes for rapid-rising yeast, 60 or more minutes for regular yeast or until the dough reaches the top of the pan. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 50-60 minutes, covering after 10 minutes with aluminum foil.
Featherlight Rice Flour Mix
Rice flour (1 part)
Tapioca flour (1 part)
Cornstarch (1 part) -- I used Arrowroot
Potato flour (1 teaspoon per cup)
I used brown rice flour, and I changed the ratios, to cut back on the starch. I used 6 cups rice flour, and 1 1/2 cups each of the tapioca flour and arrowroot. It worked well for me, and we liked it, but I'm sure her ratios give a more "normal" loaf -- more like the store bought white bread.
It was pretty good, as I recall. I made it in a bread machine, which is easiest, but it did use a non-stick pan. At the time I figured if we had been buying bread it would have been baked in non-stick also. Now we avoid it altogether, since we don't eat any prepared foods. It doesn't need a bread machine, though.
There are many good GF bread recipes out there these days. I have no idea how they compare to the one we used to make. I hear the one here is good. I couldn't link directly to the recipe, so click on the "+" next to breads, then click on "white bread". Everything on her website is GF, and I suspect it's all good.
A blog I've enjoyed is gluten-free girl. She explains a lot, and her recipes look like they really work, and I've heard a few comments that people like her recipes. I've heard good things about this bread, and if we weren't grain-free I would have tried it long ago.
Of course, there are other gluten-free blogs, but I don't really frequent them and mostly can't remember their names. The only other one I remember is this one. I don't think I've really spent much time there, so I can't personally recommend for or against it. I've just heard people talk.
And here's another one that I forgot to add. It's more TF, which appeals to me. I'm thinking I might try it now that we're eating some buckwheat.
I hope this helps someone.
Jennifer, Naturopath and mom

WOMEN'S FOOTBALL: Tower Hill pay the penalty
7:20am Wednesday 26th February 2014
7:20am Wednesday 26th February 2014
TOWER Hill Ladies had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Milton Keynes City in the Southern Region Women's League.
Tower started strongly and should have gone ahead when Ellen Hopkins' pass released Samantha Bevan-Talbot, who ran through on goal, only to shoot wide.
Ten minutes from time Milton Keynes failed to clear a cross and in a scramble, Lisa Freeman fired in at the far post.
But they were rocked when Milton Keynes were awarded a penalty for shirt-pulling, Laura Geyton putting the resulting award past Mel Gilbert in the Tower Hill goal.
Tower Hill are next in action on Sunday, March 9, when they host Fleetlands (KO 2pm).
