Shades are as expected for the price. They aren't heavy duty, but I expect to last through a couple of texas summers. Look great when hung & installation was easy. They are natural bamboo colored; reeds are spaced slightly apart to let breeze through & therefore aren't completely private. A good buy for the length of patio covered.
I bought 2 of these for my covered patio. They are great. They given some privacy and allow the light to come through, making it not so dark as was the problem with my older shades. Love them so much. i came back and bought 2 more to finish off the area!
I purchased 2 of these they came promptly were exactly as pictured. Went up easily however they take a little experimenting to operate but overall very happy ( I purchased 2 more)
We bought this shade for our back patio and it is just what we needed. It provides enough privacy without blocking the sun, and the color is beachy. I would purchase it again, but that is with the understanding that I will be buying my own screws and hooks. The hardware included with this shade was not good at all. While screwing it into a wood post, the hook just snapped in half. This happened twice. Obviously I did not learn my lesson the first time.
excellent product for the price. Quick delivery as well.
Terrible, do not waste your money. Quality is the worst I've ever experienced.
I bought these blinds to block the evening sun on my screened porch. Great price, good look, and fast shipping, but it doesn't really block the sun much at all. There are lots of spaces between the reeds, which is probably why most of the sun still gets through. They look nice, though.
When I first opened the package I thought I would probably send this back. I needed to replace the weaved blind on had on my sliding glass door. The color was much light than I thought it would be. It seemed super flimsy. I decided to try it and was surprised that it looked as good as it does. It lets in light without letting the sun beat in (which I thought it would). It still is flimsy and I must be gentle rolling it up. I don't think this will hold up outdoors in windy or other kinds of weather very well at all. The "slats" will eventually break as well. But I bet I can get a couple years out of this blind as it hangs inside the house.
This is a very cheaply made shade unit, especially for the price. Should have researched others (o.com gave suggestions After purchased) that would have been better quality.
This does will work for now but I don't expect this shade to last for long..It's installed as an outside shade. It does block some sunlight . The top header where the hang hooks are located is flimsy. But foe here and now I'm satisfied with the price I paid...

MONTREAL – A boisterous but peaceful protest denouncing sexual exploitation during Montreal's Grand Prix weekend wound its way through the city on Saturday afternoon, passing several high-end hotels that organizers say are magnets for so-called sex tourists.
The event, organized by a student group based at the University of Sherbrooke, began at 5 p.m. at Phillips Square near the Sheraton Hotel.
It drew just over 100 people, who marched down to Old Montreal and stopped in front of several hotels before dispersing at about 6:30 p.m.
The protest's organizers claim that strip clubs and escort agencies in Montreal raise their prices during the annual Grand Prix weekend, forcing their (mainly female) employees to work long hours without passing any of the extra profits on to the workers.
"From our perspective, prostitution is commercialized sexual exploitation," read a statement on the website of the Association générale étudiante de la Faculté des lettres et sciences humaines de l'Université de Sherbrooke (AGEFLESH) in advance of the event. "There is a high correlation between sexual exploitation of women and sporting events. The Grand Prix is no exception; it is actually an exemplary case."
Police monitored the event closely and quickly declared it illegal because an itinerary had not been provided, but said they would allow the demonstration to continue as long as the protesters remained peaceful.

yuck is a command line option parser for C that works on a minimal set of dependencies - only a C compiler and the m4 macro processor are required. It supports all the standard use cases: GNU-style long options (--option), condensable short options (-xab for -x -a -b), and optional arguments to long and short options (--foo[=BAR]), multiple occurrence of options (-vvv). Most importantly, it does not depend on libc's getopt() nor getopt_long().
Coq au Vin is a blogging engine written in Chicken Scheme. It is designed to appeal to users who have basic Web development skills (i.e., who know HTML and CSS), are able to install their own server-side software, and would rather edit a template than press 105 buttons to customize their sites.
M-Pin Strong Authentication System enables true two-factor authentication for Web sites and applications, based on the open source M-Pin Authentication Server and M-Pin Managed Service. The M-Pin Managed Service is a highly available, fault tolerant software as a service that issues cryptographic secrets to M-Pin Authentication Servers and Clients. The M-Pin Authentication Server uses just one leak-proof cryptographic key, and can't reveal any information about your users such as identity or login details, even if the key is compromised. The M-Pin Client is an HTML5 browser, so developers can easily integrate M-Pin into their Web sites and applications, enabling frictionless two-factor authentication and removing all username / password vulnerabilities.
Plgen (Playlist Generator) is a tool that sorts files for MP3 players in a user defined order. Cheap MP3 players often come with no playlist capabilities. In addition these players often make use of the FAT16/32 file system, leading to confusion when the playing order is not alphabetical on the device even though it is shown as alphabetical in the file explorer.
HtmlCleaner is an HTML parser. HTML found on the Web is usually dirty, ill-formed, and unsuitable for further processing. For any serious consumption of such documents, it is necessary to first clean up the mess and bring order to the tags, attributes, and ordinary text. For a given HTML document, HtmlCleaner reorders individual elements and produces well-formed XML. By default, it follows rules similar to those which most Web browsers use to create a Document Object Model. However, the user may provide custom tag and rule sets for tag filtering and balancing.

1969 Chevy Camaro RS Leaf Spring Shackle Kit, Show Correct
- Restoration Correct Camaro Shackle
- Officially Licensed GM Restoration Part
- Correct Shackle Side Plates Stamped From Medium Carbon Steel & Zinc Plated
- Technically Correct Shouldered Through Bolts & Marsden Nuts
- Two Required Per Car
Is the rear suspension on your 1967-1970 Camaro starting to wear down? Let Rick's Camaro help you replace the shackles. The shackle assembly mounts the rear of the leaf spring to the frame rail hanger. Over time the rubber bushings deteriorate and can't provide the support and impact absorption you need. While not technically correct for judging, this replacement will give great results with your rear suspension project on your 1967, 1968, 1969 or 1970 Camaro Standard, Rally Sport (RS), Super Sport (SS) or Z28. Trust Rick's for all of your suspension needs!

Philippines Typhoon. Every year this tiny island in the Pacific is impacted by a typhoon. Many of the residents are familiar with the devastation these typhoons can bring to their families and prepare months in advance.
The typhoon cycle never ends for the people who live on this island. Year after year they are hit with floods, landslides, and torrential rain.
However, this storm is nothing that anyone could have predicted. Thousands of islanders have lost their lives and many have lost their homes, livelihood and their valuables. This is only the beginning — in the months ahead, they will have to find a way to rebuild their lives and provide food and shelter for their families.
Compassion has staff on the ground assessing the damage and situation and will provide food and shelter for these displaced families now and the difficult months ahead.
Please consider giving to help children and families in their desperate time of need. Your contribution will help families by providing:
We are so thankful that there was no loss of life among the 6,449 Compassion-assisted children seriously affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Thousands were displaced; children and their families suffered from home and personal property losses and injuries. But lives were spared and prayers have been answered.
Of the Compassion church partners located within the typhoon's path, 62 were severely affected in areas such as Leyte, Samar, Panay, Negros and Cebu.
Through the efforts of dedicated country staff members, relief goods — including canned food, hygiene supplies, mats, blankets and clothes — have been supplied to children and their families in affected areas. Medical teams were sent in to assist injured children and family members. Please continue to pray for people in these areas as they recover and rebuild from this disaster.
We are gradually obtaining information about sponsored children affected by this crisis. Communication is challenging, but we are in the process of updating sponsors on each child's situation.
How Does Compassion Help Children in Crisis?
The Disaster and Relief Stability Fund was set up to quickly provide aid to families of Compassion-assisted children so they can survive a disaster and get back on their feet.
When you give to this fund, you help Compassion provide the relief, recovery, and rehabilitation that is vital for restoring families after a disaster.
Thank you for your prayers and for helping children in the Philippines however you can.
*Any money raised above the amount needed in the Philippines will be used by the general Disaster Relief Fund to help other children and families affected by disasters.
Thousands of children and families have been affected by Super Typhoon Haiyan. They are in urgent need of food, water, and shelter. Your donation will help.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
The Xbox 360 has played host to many outstanding games over the past five years. In our humble opinion, these are the 20 best video games currently available for the system. Every game on this list is a must-play title -- from the recent smash Halo: Reach to the sublimely original Portal.
A stellar upgrade to an already solid fighter, Super Street Fighter IV makes a great brawler even better, boasting 10 new characters, various balancing tweaks and plenty of worthwhile gameplay flourishes.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

How are muscle spasms diagnosed?
Most people have experienced a skeletal muscle spasm due to overexertion, especially in a warm environment, and are able to self-diagnose. However, if the spasms are severe, last a long time, and keep recurring, the patient may present to a health-care professional for evaluation.
The diagnosis usually begins with a history and physical examination. It is helpful to know the circumstances surrounding the muscle spasms.
Sometimes the physical examination may be normal since the muscle spasms may not occur during the visit. However, the physical examination may useful in detecting underlying medical issues that may be helpful in making the diagnosis. For example, if the patient is complaining of leg muscle spasm, the examination may include palpating or feeling for pulses in the feet. Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, may be associated with the loss of arterial pulse in the involved extremity.
For those having pain from smooth muscle spasm, the pain may be severe enough to present to an emergency department. The history and physical examination will be directed to finding the source of the pain, while at the same time trying to control the symptoms. Kidney stone pain (renal colic) and gallbladder pain sometimes require anti-inflammatory narcotic pain medication. They are often associated with nausea and vomiting and these symptoms may also require treatment. Some patients with irritable bowel condition may also present with significant intestinal spasm.
For patients with recurrent muscle spasm where the cause is not easily diagnosed by history and physical examination, testing may be needed to give direction as to potential causes.
Blood tests may or may not be indicated depending upon the situation and whether or not the diagnosis can be adequately attained by history and physical examination. Tests may include a complete blood count (CBC) looking for anemia, electrolytes (especially sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium), glucose, and creatinine (to check for kidney function). Thyroid function tests may also be considered.
If muscle spasms are prolonged and ongoing and there is concern that muscle breakdown and damage is occurring, a creatine phosphokinase (CPK) blood test can be used to detect this. It is an enzyme released into the bloodstream by irritated or damaged muscle tissue.
If there is concern that the spasms are due to a nerve or muscle disorder, electromyography (EMG) may be done to determine whether there may be an abnormality of the muscle, of the nerves, or both.
If there is concern about the potential for peripheral artery disease, tests of blood flow to the legs may be considered, including an ankle-brachial index (ABI) which compares blood pressures in the arms and legs and ultrasound and angiography (often using CT or MRI) to directly assess the blood vessels.
If nocturnal leg cramps are thought to be associated with a sleep disturbance, sleep studies might be indicated.

The CEO Campaign to 'Fix' the Debt: A Trojan Horse for Massive Corporate Tax Breaks
By Sarah Anderson and Scott Klinger. Contributors include Brent Soloway.
This business-driven initiative is using the so-called fiscal cliff as a cover for tax-code changes that would damage our economy.
The Fix the Debt campaign has raised $60 million and recruited more than 80 CEOs of America's most powerful corporations to lobby for a debt deal that would reduce corporate taxes and shift costs onto the poor and elderly.
This report focuses on the Fix the Debt campaign's corporate tax agenda and in particular the windfalls the campaign's member corporations would reap from a territorial tax system. We also analyze the savings the Fix the Debt campaign's CEOs have derived from the Bush tax cuts and how many of them received more in compensation last year than their corporations paid in federal income taxes.
Key findings:
- The 63 Fix the Debt companies that are publicly held stand to gain as much as $134 billion in windfalls if Congress approves one of their main proposals — a "territorial tax system." Under this system, companies would not have to pay U.S. federal income taxes on foreign earnings when they bring the profits back to the United States.
- The CEOs backing Fix the Debt personally received a combined total of $41 million in savings last year thanks to the Bush-era tax cuts. The top CEO beneficiary of the Bush tax cuts in 2011, Leon Black of Apollo Global Management, saved $9.9 million on the Bush tax cuts. The private equity fund leader reaped $215 million in taxable income last year just from vested stock.
- Of the 63 Fix the Debt CEOs at publicly held firms, 24 received more in compensation last year than their corporations paid in federal corporate income taxes. All but six of these firms reported U.S. profits last year.
Report co-authors Anderson and Klinger are co-authors of the Institute's widely publicized 19th annual "Executive Excess" report, which focused on taxpayer subsidies for excessive CEO compensation. That report received significant media coverage, including in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.

Documentation Selection Tools
NACCHO's Documentation Selection Tools are designed to facilitate the process of accreditation preparation in local health departments. There are several tools available that highlight connections between measures that appear across different PHAB domains, simplify the preparation of major documents required by PHAB, and drive efficiencies in assigning and organizing the documentation collection process.
It is recommended that these tools be used in conjunction with PHAB's tools and resources.
Although the Documentation Selection Tools largely used language verbatim from PHAB's Standards and Measures Version 1.0, PHAB's documents must be considered the official resources for all PHAB procedures and requirements.
Some measures require more than one piece of documentation – always consult the Standards and Measures before submitting documentation.

About Chicago
Lakefront breezes made Chicago's reputation as the Windy City. But now Chicago is having a moment with celebrated West Loop restaurants and authentic Bridgeport ethnic eateries, Bucktown blues bars and Millennium Park concerts, downtown's awe-inspiring Art Institute and Wrigleyville's gut-busting Improv Olympics. White Sox, Cubs, Bulls, and Bears games are not far from President Obama's Hyde Park home.
Read more about Chicago on Hipmunk's Chicago City Guide.
About Miami

Facebook slammed over photograph of dead baby (From Evesham Journal)

Upton-upon-Severn woman slams graphic pictures on Facebook
11:30am Thursday 12th December 2013 in News By Catherine Phillips , Reporter
BEING confronted by a photograph of a dead baby lying in rubble has led one woman to call for stricter controls over what pictures appear on Facebook.
Catherine Badham, of Church Street, Upton-upon-Severn, was disgusted to find the picture on her timeline.
She said it was not accompanied with any information about the baby or what had happened and appeared unsolicited after a friend 'liked' the picture.
After reporting the photo to the social media giant, the 36-year-old was shocked to be told it did not violate the terms of its community standards as it was not glorifying or celebrating the death.
Fed up with similar images of a graphic or sexual nature, as well as digital chain letters appearing on the site, she now believes Facebook needs to review the policy which allows such posts to appear.
She said: "I go on Facebook all the time and really enjoy using it to connect with friends I don't see every day, I find it supportive and funny and use it in the same way as most people do.
"But then up pops this photo with a caption saying pray for the baby – and a photo of the child in the rubble. It was really upsetting and I was absolutely gobsmacked by Facebook's reply. Children as young as 13 can sign up to the site and see these pictures."
A Facebook spokeswoman defended the image, saying the site had long been a place where people had turned to share their experiences, particularly when they are connected to such controversial events as human rights abuses, acts of terrorism and other violent events.
"People share these photos to condemn them, not to glorify them," she said.
"If the photos were being celebrated, or actions in them encouraged, our approach would be different."
Mrs Badham said she did not have information about what had happened to the baby or where the photo was taken. Recently, the site has come under fire for allowing a video of a decapitation to circulate among users, which it eventually removed.
Prime Minister David Cameron criticised the site before the video was removed saying it was "irresponsible, specially without a warning".
Facebook community standards state: "Images shared for sadistic effect or to celebrate or glorify violence have no place on our site."

Canadian Pacific Railway said it is increasing its domestic intermodal volume at a pace that by the end of the year will more than offset the loss of three container line contracts.
Rail & Intermodal
There are seven Class I railroads in the U.S. that haul the largest share of domestic and international goods: BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad in the West, CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern in the East, Canadian National and Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern Railway. Along with regional short line carriers, these railroads haul a variety of bulk and retail goods, from coal and grain to consumer goods.
Intermodal transportation by rail is on the agenda at the JOC's inaugural Inland Distribution Conference in Kansas City, Mo., on Sept. 18-19, 2013. Learn more about the conference.

21 Apr 2014
SANTA TERESA, N.M. — There's not much out here other than roads, warehouses and cacti — and now a sprawling Union Pacific Railroad intermodal terminal and fueling station. Secluded as it is, what happens at this $400 million facility in a desert framed by mountains ripples through UP's 32,000-mile U.S. network and taps into one of the largest trends in transportation rail: domestic rail growth.
17 Apr 2014
Kansas City Southern Railway appears confident the Mexican government won't require it to open up its track to competitors as legislation had threatened last fall.
16 Apr 2014
U.S. rail traffic is returning to normal after one of the coldest winters in recent memory, Bradley Thrasher, vice president and general manager of industrial products at the Union Pacific Railroad, told the Los Angeles Transportation Club April 15.
16 Apr 2014
CSX Transportation said rail service will "gradually" improve and that it was reasonable to expect operations to return to normal by the end of June, following a harsh winter that snarled operations and created a backlog of freight.
15 Apr 2014
J.B. Hunt Transport Services appears back on track for intermodal growth, reflecting a broader pickup in intermodal following delays, disruptions and depressed volumes in the first quarter blamed on severe weather.
11 Apr 2014
TUCSON, Ariz. — Intermodal service delays at Union Pacific Railway and CSX Transportation will end in roughly two to four weeks following a harsh winter that wrecked havoc on the railroads' networks, rail representatives said at a conference on April 10.
10 Apr 2014
Bulk rail shippers ranging from agriculture to coal producers told the U.S. Surface Transportation Board today that poor rail service must be solved before their business suffers even more.
10 Apr 2014
The Senate yesterday confirmed President Obama's nomination to the Surface Transportation Board, thrusting Debra Miller into the rail regulatory agency as it grapples with a myriad of issues.
09 Apr 2014
Shippers moved more freight and spent more to do so in March and the first quarter, despite weather-related supply chain disruptions, Cass Information Systems finds.
Despite the economic uncertainty the U.S. has experienced since 2008, domestic intermodal traffic in North America is growing robustly. Overall year-over-year volume growth through August 2013 was a healthy 6.8 percent. Domestic containers continue to see conversion from trailers in rail service — growing 9.7 percent, while trailer volumes shrank 2.9 percent, according to the Intermodal Association of North America, Yusen Logistics estimates and TTX fleet size data.

Bioneer's AccuPrep® Plasmid MiniPrep DNA Extraction Kit allows for the extraction of highly-pure plasmid DNA from as E. coli bacterial cultures. A260/A280 ratio greater than 1.8 and Yields of up to 20 μg of high-copy plasmid DNA can be routinely attained using the AccuPrep Plasmid MiniPrep DNA Extraction Kit.
The AccuPrep Plasmid MiniPrep DNA Extraction Kit was developed for plasmid DNA purification from cultured bacterial cells within 20 minutes. The overall principle uses a modified alkaline lysis method. Collected cells are resuspended in Resuspension Buffer. Following the addition of Lysis Buffer and Neutralization Buffer to the lysate, the chromosomal DNA and cell debris will be forms an insoluble aggregate. The insoluble protein aggregate is removed following centrifugation and transfer the clear lysate to the DNA binding filter tube. The cleared lysate contains a chaotropic salt originating from Neutralization Buffer which helps the binding of the plasmid DNA on the membrane surface. The DNA binding filter of the AccuPrep Plasmid MiniPrep DNA Extraction Kit is packed with silica based membrane has enough surface area to bind up to 20 μg of plasmid DNA. Any salts and precipitates are eliminated by addition of the Washing Buffer. Finally, highly purified plasmid DNA is eluted with low salt Elution Buffer and is immediately ready for downstream applications.

Educational Philosophy:
I am interested in critical inquiry into just about any subject, and I try to share with my students the benefits of asking the meaning of words, phrases and visual images they hear and see everyday. As a student, I learned to see canonical literature in modern situation comedies, to see the formulaic nature of the evening news, and pay attention to the details in advertising. As a teacher, I attempt to share these insights and to encourage my students to ask "what does it mean" and "what would have to be true for x to happen". I encourage them to see beyond the immediate image or sound, to be a more attentive consumer of information.
I try to help my students anticipate reception of their written work in various audiences. Whether in the academy or in the world of work, students participate in several different discourse communities. I believe it is my job to help them identify those communities, and to understand the "rules" of discourse in them. I try to show how a text produced for a friend as e-mail may not be well received as an academic paper, or how business formality differs from academic formality. At the same time, I encourage them to preserve their own voice in their writing, no matter the form. I believe if I can show them that there are differences, and help them understand how the texts they produce might be received, I can help them prepare for success in whatever community they inhabit.
Learning Outcomes: Core Learning Outcomes
Every course has a Core Assessment, which is one assignment given in all sections of the course. For En 106 the Core Assessment consists of one final-draft essay from each student's portfolio, chosen by the student, plus a Reflective Essay. Written at the end of term, the Reflective Essay must describe in significant detail the student's strengths and a discussion of opportunities for improvement as revealed in the complete portfolio. The reflective essay must also analyze the student's overall development as a writer over the duration of the semester/term.
Although all students in all sections will present a portfolio that includes evidence of prewriting and multiple drafts, the Core Assessment will consist only of one final-draft essay and the Reflective Essay.

Due: Core Assessment Selections from Portfolio.
Academic Honesty:Academic integrity is the foundation of the academic community. Because each student has the primary responsibility for being academically honest, students are advised to read and understand all sections of this policy relating to standards of conduct and academic life. Park University students and faculty members are encouraged to take advantage of the University resources available for learning about academic honesty (www.park.edu/current or http://www.park.edu/faculty/).from Park University 2010-2011 Undergraduate Catalog Page 92I am highly intolerant of cheating in any form. Your education is valuable, but not if you don't actually do the work. Do your own work, give credit to others where it is due, be forthright if you make a mistake, and treat both the material and your classmates with respect. We'll do the same for you.
Plagiarism:Plagiarism involves the use of quotations without quotation marks, the use of quotations without indication of the source, the use of another's idea without acknowledging the source, the submission of a paper, laboratory report, project, or class assignment (any portion of such) prepared by another person, or incorrect paraphrasing. from Park University 2010-2011 Undergraduate Catalog Page 92-93In an online writing class, with internet resources for our research, the "shortcuts" available are many and tempting. Don't do it. Don't copy from a web page because it's easier - take the time to type it yourself. Don't copy without using quote marks and proper citation. Don't "patchwrite" - or try to take a quote, change just a few words and pass it off as your own. Remember, please, that if you could find it, I can find it, and I will, and the penalties will be severe.
Attendance Policy:Instructors are required to maintain attendance records and to report absences via the online attendance reporting system.
Park University 2010-2011 Undergraduate Catalog Page 95-96
Disability Guidelines:Park University is committed to meeting the needs of all students that meet the criteria for special assistance. These guidelines are designed to supply directions to students concerning the information necessary to accomplish this goal. It is Park University's policy to comply fully with federal and state law, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, regarding students with disabilities. In the case of any inconsistency between these guidelines and federal and/or state law, the provisions of the law will apply. Additional information concerning Park University's policies and procedures related to disability can be found on the Park University web page: http://www.park.edu/disability .Remember that in the online environment, I can't see you or hear you or know what your situation may be. If you have a disability, whether physical or learning, please take advantage of the services available to you.
Additional Information:Throughout the course, I will assume you will read all of the provided material - weekly overview, lectures when provided, discussion instructions, essay instructions, the grading and assessment guidelines, and all assigned reading for the week. I won't be able to tell if you have questions about the material or know if you don't understand something unless you tell me. Please ask if you have any questions, especially about assignments. My online virtual office is always available for questions and comments, and you can use the weekly discussion boards to float your preliminary ideas.
I grade assignments based in part on the degree to which your work responds to the particulars of the assignment. It's really important therefore that you understand those assignments so you'll get the best possible score. It's never dumb to ask a clarifying question. It is dumb to lose points because you didn't.

So... I've noticed lately that whenever people bandy about the whole "someone (preferably Batman) should totally kill the Joker!" thing, they always mention something along the lines of "he once killed a busload of children!" or "he once gassed an entire kindergarten class!" as justification.
The thing is... has canon actually confirmed any of this? In anything other than a throwaway line from Joker (who would say ANYTHING to get under someone's skin, whether it was true or not) to verify it? The closest I can think of was in The Dark Knight Returns, where he killed (dozens of?) boy scouts with poisoned cotton candy. But that 1.) was an Elseworlds, and 2.) featured him dying painfully shortly thereafter.

Folks are quick to condemn LBJ for complaining about being targeted for some extraordinary physical play against him. Foks even complain that the refs are too quick with the whistle. Frankly, at the other end of the age spectrum, Kobe's latest injury is proof of why the league needs to protect its star players! When Kobe was undercut by a defensive player, who did not have a prayer of stopping his last-second shot, the refs missed flagrant foul. It not only lost the game for the Lakers, but, injured an aging Kobe, at a critical time of a playoff drive. That foul, may cost the Lakers the playoffs. Worse, it denies the NBA and basketball fans the opportunity to see one of the greatest of all times, perform in a high-pressure playoff drive (brings out the best play of the great ones). I mean, when Kobe said he was going to do it (get the Lakers to the Playoffs), everyone, even those pulling against him, wondered whether there was enough left in this great player to carry the aging, oft-injured, dysfunctioning, Lakers, there! Yes, I am in favor of refs being whistle-ready to stop/protect some less-skilled idiot from denying me and the game the opportunity to see greatness play.
Lakers' Kobe Bryant (foot) 'probable' against Kings
By Ben Golliver
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant is probable for a Saturday night game against the Kings in Sacramento after receiving an examination on his left foot.
Sports Illustrated's Lee Jenkins reported Bryant, who is suffering from a bone spur, needed the help of a crutch as he departed Milwaukee's Bradley Center following a loss to the Bucks on Thursday night. Bryant played 36 minutes and finished with a game-high 30 points, but he shot just 6-for-17 from the field.
A doctor took a look at Bryant's foot in Sacramento on Friday in advance of Saturday's game against the Kings, the final stop of a four-game trip.
While Bryant did not address reporters after the loss Thursday, Yahoo! Sports reported Bryant said his foot was "inflamed" but he will "be all right." Bryant has played in all but two games for the Lakers this season, missing time earlier this month with a sprained left ankle.
The Lakers, who are in the middle of a dogfight for the Western Conference's No. 8 playoff spot, have already lost forward Metta World Peace to regular season-ending knee surgery this week. Starting point guard Steve Nash also left Thursday's game with a hip issue, according to the Orange County Register, after playing just 23 minutes. Nash is listed as "questionable" for Saturday.
L.A. fell to 37-36 with the loss to Milwaukee and now holds just a half-game lead over Utah and a 1.5-game lead over Dallas for the West's final playoff spot with nine games remaining on their schedule.
Bryant, 34, is averaging 27.2 points, 5.8 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game this season.
Da Alleged Rapist will milk this ingrown toenail for all he can. Gotta get more public relations love from SI and ESPN.
I'm glad that isn't serious injurie!!!! http://www.bubblews.com/news/328040-kobe-bryant-champion-once-again

The use of any and all copyrighted media on the Video Information System [VIS] complied with the face-to-face teaching exemption as provided for face-to-face classroom use in Section 110(1) of the Copyright Law, Title 17 of the United States Code. Section 110(1) allows:
· Performances of copyrighted works
· Displays of copyrighted works
for nonprofit, educational, face-to-face teaching. This includes all types of media as long as a legal copy is owned.
In the absence of VIS and in order to continue to comply with Section 110(1), instructors using copyrighted media for their face-to-face classes should now consider the following, legal options:
· Use the media player in your classroom
· Use your own media player, laptop, or PC
· Use a player from your department
· Use a portable DVD player or laptop from Bracken Library's Educational Resources Collections circulating equipment collection
· Contact the Equipment Projectionist Services to have a media player delivered to your classroom
Two other options are available for both the face-to-face and distance education classrooms that entails restrictions. The Copyright Law allows for "reasonable and limited portions", in other words, "clips," of copyrighted media in specific educational instances. Those other two options for classroom use are:
· Section 107, Fair Use, of the Copyright Law, Title 17 of the United States Code [these "reasonable and limited portions" are often referred to as, Fair Use clips]
· Section 110(2), The Technology, Education and Copyright Harmonization Act [a.k.a. the TEACH Act] of the Copyright Law, Title 17 of the United States Code
Both of these options have restrictions of use as outlined in each respective section of the Copyright Law. In either case, a formal request for invoking either TEACH and/or Fair Use is a process that allows Ball State University to comply with the Copyright Law.
In complying with the restrictions of Sections 107 and 110(2), Ball State's intellectual property policy is such that media clips must be made available via a secure server that uses encryption and that the media is only available for access to Ball State University faculty [and/or students] using a valid and authenticated BSU ID & PW.
More often than not, TEACH is limited to distance education classes while Fair Use can be applied for both the face-to-face and distance education classrooms.
The Teleplex and the University Libraries have a combined service that provides for security, limited access, and authentication for copyrighted media clips. This service is called Video on Demand [VoD]. Fair Use clips or "reasonable and limited portions" are placed under the faculty's name and course in Mediasite .
VoD requires a one-time meeting between the faculty member requesting the service, a representative of the Teleplex, and the Copyright Agent/Manager for Ball State. At the VoD meeting, the mandatory Fair Use Checklist is completed detailing the "reasonable and limited portions" of copyrighted media. The media is brought to the meeting and a list of the Fair Use clips with the start and stop times of each clip are provided for the Teleplex. If the media is VHS, then the first few words and last few words of the clip are also required for the Teleplex as well. If the copyrighted clips are going to be used for distance education, then the TEACH Act Compliance Form must be completed as well.
It should be noted that there can be instances when a complete video can be encoded and placed on Mediasite for your class. The VoD meeting will assist in making that determination.
For any and all questions relating to migration from VIS, Mediasite, Video on Demand, Fair Use, and/or the TEACH Act, please contact:

Tomblin Calls For Estimate Of Jobs
Lawmakers would be allowed to see impact of bills on employment
February 19, 2013
CHARLESTON (AP) — Lawmakers would get a sense of how a bill might help or harm West Virginia's economy before casting a vote, under a measure proposed by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin this session....
This state is dead last in EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS!
West Virginia is NOT being hurt by the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, the TEACHERS, the TV show "BUCKWILD".
The popular VOTE GETTING SLOGAN eg. "JOBS." Is just a crock. Tomblin and Manchin love it.
For God's sake, Governor Tomblin, Senator Manchin and "Lawmakers", just do something good -- ONCE IN A WHILE -- and stop all of this stupid, shortsided foolishness.
"Trickle Down Economics" is almost as effective as the "War On Drugs".
Job creation by politicians/and the rich is nothing but a big myth in West Virginia.
Prove that it isn't!

Severe fiscal tightening in the U.S. will lead to no growth or a contraction in the first two quarters of 2013 and will push unemployment over the 8 percent level, according to Lombard Street Research. Getty Images The unemployed look for job opportunities at the South Florida Workforce center in Miami, Florida.The knock-on effect will mean pain for the business sector, with corporate profits falling after a hit to consumer spending power, the firm said.
"Our view that unemployment could rise above 8 percent and that profits will be squeezed reflects a forecast of nil to negative 2013 (first quarter) growth, and further stagnation in (the second quarter)," a Lombard Street report released on Friday said.

Art for me is anything that gives a strong impression to the viewer.
A very broad term but as it is, there are many types of art from dance, music, paintings, and so on so I feel that is the heart of what art is.
This is a question I have been studying a lot lately. Naturally, there is no one correct answer to this question, since many people will include/exclude different mediums or elements from art.
How do you define art? What does art mean to you? For me it is a means of creative expression, and a way of breaking the barrier of reality. Each work of art is its own world, one limited only by the artist.
Art for me is anything that gives a strong impression to the viewer.
A very broad term but as it is, there are many types of art from dance, music, paintings, and so on so I feel that is the heart of what art is.
I would say the definition varies from person to person, but it would be whatever a person finds visually appealing which was made by another person.
For example, one person might find a car, like, oh I dunno, a 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa a beautiful piece of art, whereas someone else, probably a knob-head wouldn't think so.
Not only visually appealing, but generally appealing to the person. Like a good piece of music could be art. basically the medium through which a person expresses something and that which creates an impact to the audience. or viewer.
I find things that are visually unappealing to be artful, though. Like Picasso, most definitely not my cup of tea, but art nonetheless. I think what art is has to do with the process, intent, and execution of the piece, but I'm not exactly sure in what specific ways.
Sometimes I do stuff that's "visually appealing"; posters, webgraphics, folders... but I would never claim them to be art. I also don't call anything I've drawn or created as art. I refer to them simply as "drawing", "painting", "sculpture"...
So it's really the PROCESS of creation that is art. Think about it, it's easy to copy stuff, for example playing music that someone else made the tunes for, as long as you know the craft. But it's the process of creating something artistic that defines a person as an artist. (I know, copying is also a process of creation, but you should get my point :P)
Yeah, this is exactly what I had hoped to get. It's interesting; some people related it more to the emotions and expression others to the process, and others to the product.
Totally could be. Wonder if we could merge all three into an inclusive definition...
So, art is the process of expressing one's thoughts or mind, producing an awesome piece of work.
I'm not sure it conveys all the meaning, but just an effort..

Excellent set of nuts that stand up to abuse very well. The anodising will start to scratch off quickly (as you would expect) but they remain strong and the colouring helps when selecting a nut.
|Great to start your trad rack.
|Reviewed By Ryan, 12 Mar 2013
Instead of going for all the nuts individually i suggest you get this set and then grab some hexes in addition to it. I really like the shap of it, on a fall the nut cams itself on the rock by the shape it has. Pretty good gear. Buy it !

These nuts are just wonderful. I have used them on loads of different types of rock including grit, limestone, mountain rock in wales and granite. They always give you a good feeling when they go in.
|well thought out design
|Reviewed By Alex, 07 Apr 2012
well DMM have done it again and brought out another well thought out product, although the coloured faces soon become battered and faded. The indentations are fantastic for those tricky placements where a pebble or something is intent on ruining the placement, but to be honest thats a few and far between situation in my experience.
