Parent and their newborns 'heart' Census5 August 2011 | CO/44
Census night is Tuesday, 9 August 2011 and everyone in Australia will be counted, including parents and their newborn babies.
To celebrate the Census of Population and Housing the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has issued some of Australia's newest arrivals with baby t-shirts that feature the Census slogan 'I heart Census'.
Head of the Population Census program, Paul Lowe says everyone in Australia must be included on a Census form, irrespective of age.
"It doesn't matter if you're one or 100, by being on a Census form you're providing the ABS with an accurate snapshot of Australia," Mr Lowe says.
The Census provides important information to decision makers and communities to assist planning for hospitals, schools and parks.
"Children born before midnight on Census night, Tuesday, 9 August 2011 must be included on a Census form. If a child is born 11:59:59 they'll be counted in the 2011 Census," Mr Lowe adds.
ABS data reveals a child is born in Australia every one minute and 46 seconds.
More information is available online at www.abs.gov.au/census or call the Census Inquiry Service on 1300 338 776.

Cincinnati Home Inspector
Rob Wetterstroem
Hi, I'm Rob Wetterstroem and as owner of American Verified Home Inspections, it is my job to help you make an informed decision before committing to any home purchase. Before you purchase a new home, a thorough home inspection must be performed. During this time, I will explain how the house functions, how the individual components work and I will do my best to determine the home's current condition.
Since 2004, I have been inspecting Cincinnati homes for radon, termites, leaks, cracks and many other common issues that can affect a family home. Not only is a Cincinnati home inspection a wise financial move, but a proper home inspection will also alleviate much of the anxiety, stress, and worry brought on by a major life decision.
What to Expect During Your Cincinnati Home Inspection
Step 1: A Walkthrough with the Home Buyer
When I conduct home inspections in Cincinnati, I always encourage the home buyer to walk along with me. This will allow you to see 'firsthand' how a home inspector performs his duties, while I can help inform and educate you about the home along the way.
Step 2: The Cincinnati Home Inspection Process
During our walkthrough, I will take my time to explain, in basic language, how the home works and I will work hard to help you understand the true condition of the home you're looking to buy. This is the part of the Cincinnati home inspection where we will look for any signs of problems or damage.
As your Cincinnati home inspector, I will conduct:
- General Home Cincinnati Home Inspections: During a general home inspection, I will check everything from the foundation walls to the roof, the building materials, the home's plumbing, and electrical systems, doors and windows, the garage, chimney, and every other aspect of the home to make sure everything is running as it should.
- Radon Testing: Radon is a radioactive gas that can originate in the soil around your home and in some of your home's construction materials. As an additional test, we can test the radon levels using the most advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology.
- Termite Inspections: In Cincinnati, termites can be a big problem. If left to thrive, termites can easily cost a homeowner thousands of dollars in repairs. As an additional inspection, I subcontract with very qualified Cincinnati termite inspectors, to look for evidence of several types of wood-destroying insects.
- Sewer Inspections: Not every Cincinnati Home Inspection includes a sewer pipe camera scope. On older homes in Cincinnati, this is an extremely valuable inspection. American Verified Home Inspections has contracted with a qualified plumbing company, and as an added inspection, we can have a camera scope the sewer pipe under the floor and yard to look for signs of cracked pipes, tree root intrusion or blockages. Ask us about our Cincinnati sewer pipe inspections.
- Cincinnati Home Inspections to Check for Leaks, Cracks and Other Anomalies: With utility costs so high, you can't afford to let anything go to waste. For that reason, our Cincinnati home inspections look for water, gas and air leaks that can make for an inefficient or unsafe living environment.
- And Much More
Step 3: Your Cincinnati Home Inspection Report
Within 24 hours of the Cincinnati home inspection, I will provide you with a computer-generated report complete with full-color digital photographs. This allows you to sit down with your spouse, realtor and family members in order to decide what you should do next.
American Verified Home Inspections is the name to remember when you're interested in buying a new home and you want to know whether you are making a sound investment.
Whether you are in need of:
- New Cincinnati Home Inspections
- Luxury Home Inspections
- Older Home Inspections
- Or Anything Other Type of Home Inspection in Cincinnati
American Verified Home Inspections will give you peace of mind and the ability to make the very best decision on any home purchase.

- "You're plainly addicted to chaos."
- ― Isiah Friedlander
Dr. Isiah Friedlander is a professional therapist in Los Santos and appears as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto V. Isiah Friedlander is Michael's therapist. He sees him once a week. He also has a popular practice on the Pacific Bluffs coastline.
Dr. Friedlander is portrayed as an over-the-top version of a "Hollywood" psychotherapist. He's overpriced (as seen in an email where he raises his rates a reasonable 75%) and seems not to actually care about his patients. In cutscenes he's seen looking at his watch waiting for the session time to expire. He is also not concerned much about Michael's behavior as the latter confesses that he is able to kill without remorse and may have killed someone on the way to Isiah's home.
Dr. Friedlander also appears in the mission Reuniting the Family in which he listens to Amanda and Micheal argue about their relationship but makes no effort to intervene in any way.
Later in the game (in an optional visit), he tells Michael that he is leaving Los Santos and has gotten his own TV show. He then informs Michael that he needs to find a new therapist and implies that he's going to be using Michael's case in his show. Angry, Michael chases after Friedlander. Michael then has the choice to kill him or let him go.
Regardless of Michael's choice, an internet news article and radio broadcast will still say that he was murdered following his rise to prominence.
Missions appearances
- His nickname in high school was "pube head".
- When playing as Michael you can hear his commentary on the situation based on in-game events. When asking about Michael's behavior, you can hear a variety of scripted lines depending on how often you've caused mayhem as him, as well as how often you've engaged in adultery as him. You also have the option to agree or disagree with his evaluation of Michael's character.
- An after credits scene shows his Psychiatric Evaluation which notes the player's behavior. This includes, but isn't limited to making the way you make friends, laziness, addiction to chaos, whether he thinks you justify your despicable actions, how often you partake in hobbies like Yoga, and whether or not he can assume you're a closet homosexual.
- After completing Abandonment Issues, Isiah also dies regardless of choice, as Weazel News revealed that he was murdered before hosting the TV show.
- Even if Michael has hired prostitutes he will still state that he has had no sexual problems when choosing to agree with the evaluation.

Found this on the back of this letter Ava wrote after school one day. Thought it seemed appropriate, since I've been absent recently.
"I'll never leave you," it says. Not sure in what context she wrote this — I'm thinking that it was for some story that she was conjuring up in her head, or something.
I just liked it and wanted to show it to you all today. And it's true: I'll never leave you. I'll be back soon. Promise!

The Real Story Behind Throwing Rice at Weddings
When a newly married couple exits a church, a synagogue, a courthouse or wherever they've just tied the knot, people often shower them with rice (not the sticky kind, of course). Most of us have seen this in the movies or in real life.
If you're wondering how this grain-throwing tradition came about, don't fret. We're going to tell you.
Rice through the ages
Rice has been a staple crop almost since human beings figured out how to farm and the tradition of throwing rice has been going on for a very long time. There are even records of rice being thrown at weddings as far back as the Roman era.
Not just rice
Besides rice, other types of agricultural products were also distributed, or thrown, during marriage ceremonies. Almonds, walnuts, and various kinds of seeds were often handed out, or tossed about at weddings in the past.
Rice and fertility
Nowadays, people marry for a wide assortment of reasons, but back in the day, producing offspring was considered the one and true reason for giving up the single life. The Assyrians, Hebrews and Egyptians believed rice was a symbol of fertility, and so pelting the newlyweds with grain could help ensure that the union would be fruitful, resulting in the birth of lots of children. It was widely held that the reproductive powers inherent in rice and other seeds could be transferred to the young couple, thus aiding them in their quest to start a family.
No rice for me, thanks
Throwing rice at weddings has become a fairly ubiquitous tradition in America, but there are actually some people who are strongly against it. They worry about the little birds eating uncooked rice off the ground after the people have departed. In order to quell their concerns that rice is bad for birds, birdseed is now a common replacement for wedding rice in many parts of the country.
While the birds may thank you for your kind gift, the sentiment behind this tradition remains the same, no mater what type of food is being thrown. What started out as a method for 'helping' fertility along has become a simple way to wish a couple future good luck.

Checking in on… the Sun BeltPosted by Brian Goodman on January 21st, 2011
Danny Spewak is the RTC correspondent for the Sun Belt Conference.
A Look Back: News and Notes
- Dennis Harris wants a reunion with John Brady. Harris, who signed with Brady at LSU and remained at the school when Trent Johnson took over in 2008, announced his decision to transfer to Arkansas State earlier this month. He appeared in only four games this season, but saw significant minutes as a role player last year. His 6'11 frame and long wingspan has to frighten opponents in his new league, especially since Harris will play alongside Martavius Adams when he becomes eligible in the spring of 2011.
- It's not often we get to relay a human interest story to our Sun Belt fans, so let's take this opportunity to recognize Denver guard Kyle Lewis for his heroic actions this month. According to Fox Sports Rocky Mountain, Lewis encountered a man in need of medical attention while walking on campus and called 911. Lewis told a sideline reporter for the television network that he actually kicked the man in the chest to resuscitate him. Lewis, named a team captain this year, had started for three seasons before taking on a bench role this year as a senior. So he's an unselfish guy in more ways than one.
- The exact reason for Arkansas-Little Rock coach Steve Shields' suspension for a home game against Louisiana-Monroe January 12 hasn't been released by either the Sun Belt Conference nor the athletic department itself. All we know is that the league wasn't too happy with Shields' antics after a heartbreaking overtime loss at Denver in early January, won on a late three-point play by Chase Hallam. Shields only missed one game, and his team shook off the suspension with an easy 81-50 win at home.
Shout-Out Section
Where in the world did Troy come from? After losing five starters from a division championship team, the Trojans stumbled to a 2-13 start. That's when Mo Weathers and Vernon Taylor decided they'd had enough. The two guards fueled a home win against Western Kentucky January 13 and made it two straight by shocking North Texas 89-81 two days later. The whole team deserves a shout-out, but we'll focus on Weathers and Taylor in particular, who are thriving in coach Don Maestri's up-tempo style. Taylor, who's becoming a league favorite thanks to his creative Fresh Prince-like hairstyle, scored 20 against WKU and 22 against the Mean Green. Weathers didn't make that much noise in non-conference play, but since the middle of December, he's been unstoppable. Weathers has dished out more than 10 assists on three different occasions and shot 60 percent from three-point land in those two SBC wins. Sun Belt Network commentator Dave Odom, an accomplished college coach at Wake Forest and South Carolina, said he hasn't seen a single guard in this league better than Weathers yet.
We've followed UALR's point guard situation throughout the season, and it's safe to say now that Shields has two fine options in D'Andre Williams and Chuck Guy. And although Williams deserves a shout-out for leading the team in assists, it's Guy who's added a new element to the team in his freshman season. He's scored in double-figures in each of his past five outings, and he's lighting it up from beyond the arc—during those contests, he's shooting almost 52 percent from three.
Quote of the Week
"Players win the games. And they did just that in overtime."
–Denver coach Joe Scott after an overtime win at home against Florida International kept the Pioneers undefeated in league play
Power Rankings
1. Florida Atlantic (14-6, 6-0): These Owls are for real. Of course, we've known this for weeks now. But we really know it now, especially now that FAU hasn't lost since before Christmas. Most recently, Florida Atlantic dismantled Western Kentucky team at Diddle Arena by jumping on the reeling Hilltoppers immediately and never looking back. The most impressive thing about this team is how well it's defending and how patient it's been on offense. One of the youngest teams in college basketball last season, the Owls are growing more mature by the day. That's due in large part to the consistency of point guards Ray Taylor and Alex Tucker, who are helping leading-scorer Greg Gantt get shots. Mike Jarvis has taken this group of youngsters and coached them into a disciplined team, both offensively and defensively. Now, FAU can show this improvement to a national audience Saturday against Arkansas-Little Rock, televised on ESPN2.
Up Next: Jan. 22 vs. UALR, Jan. 27 vs. MTSU, Jan. 29 vs. WKU
2. Florida International (8-10, 3-3): After racing to a 3-0 start with wins against the bottom of the league, FIU is back to earth after facing the Sun Belt's top competition from the West. The Golden Panthers have dropped three straight games to North Texas, Denver and Arkansas-Little Rock, all of whom are in the mix in the West Division. FIU hung with UNT and UALR for the most part and fell to overtime against the Pioneers with DeJuan Wright sidelined, so it's not as if this team was overwhelmed against the other division. There's still work to do, most notably on the defensive end.
Up Next: Jan. 22 at USA, Jan. 27 vs. WKU, Jan. 29 vs. MTSU
3. Middle Tennessee State (8-11, 3-3): It's another typical Kermit Davis team in Murfreesboro this season. Although the coach is often criticized being for unable to take Middle Tennessee State to an elite level, there's no denying his consistency. In 2010-11, he's got another scrappy team with the ability to compete with anyone. MTSU already knocked off North Texas, and the Blue Raiders evened their league record to 3-3 by cooling off Troy Thursday night with a 63-51 win at home. If James Washington continues to lead, this team won't go away.
Up Next: Jan. 22 vs. Denver, Jan. 27 at FAU, Jan. 29 at FIU
4. Troy (4-14, 2-4): The Shout-Out section covered most of Troy's emergence, but we can't understate how surprising the Trojans' two wins against WKU and North Texas were. The first was understandable—after a slow start, Troy slowly crept back into the game and demoralized an emotionally crippled Western Kentucky squad. The win against UNT came out of nowhere. Don Maestri has this team playing with a new kind of energy, and offensively the Trojans couldn't be stopped against the Mean Green. Troy suffered a setback last night in a road loss at MTSU, but after a 2-13 start, a two-game winning streak in conference and a convincing win against the defending champs is a miracle.
Up Next: Jan. 22 at WKU, Jan. 27 vs. USA, Jan. 29 at ULM
5. Western Kentucky (6-11, 1-4): It's finally happened: Western Kentucky has won a Sun Belt Conference game. It only took about a month, right? With rumors swirling about coach Ken McDonald's job status, WKU found a way to win at South Alabama last night by nine points, but it wasn't easy (what else is new?). The Hilltoppers nearly blew a 24-point second-half lead during a second half collapse. If there's one thing WKU has done well consistently this year, it's been offensive rebounding—and the Toppers dominated that statistic Thursday night. The victory is at least a start for this squad during this nightmare of a season. At the very least, it's never seemed as if WKU has just plain quit at any point this year. Even among all the losses, Western Kentucky has always shown small spurts of greatness. A full 40 minutes just hasn't materialized yet.
Up Next: Jan. 22 vs. Troy, Jan. 27 at FIU, Jan. 28 at FAU
6. South Alabama (7-10, 1-5): Hopes of a bounce-back season have all but faded for Ronnie Arrow's team. Since a home win against Middle Tennessee State, USA has lost four straight Sun Belt games. It's now hit rock bottom, with two consecutive home losses to winless teams (UL-Monroe and Western Kentucky). So what does Arrow do from here? He's got a good group of guards and an emerging post presence in Augustin Rubit, but South Alabama isn't guarding well enough to win games.
Up Next: Jan. 22 vs. FIU, Jan. 27 at Troy, Jan. 29 vs. ULL
1. North Texas (15-4, 4-2): One glance at the West Division standings shows North Texas two games out of first place. We're not telling you to ignore the results on the court, but try to consider UNT's body of work this season. Road losses at Middle Tennessee State and especially Troy are red flags, but the Mean Green's work in the non-conference is proof that the two losses are an anomaly, not a growing trend. North Texas has serious issues defensively and got lit up by a red-hot Troy team that made everything it threw up, and this isn't a perfect squad. But this same team beat LSU by 20 points on the road, beat Texas Tech at home, hung with Kansas for one half and has a roster full of NCAA Tournament experience. Don't jump off the bandwagon because of two losses—and mark your calendars for a Jan. 29 showdown between Denver and North Texas.
Up Next: Jan. 22 vs. Arkansas State, Jan. 27 at ULL, Jan. 29 at Denver
2. Denver (10-9, 6-0): Denver is certainly not a pretender in this conference, not with a 6-0 record and a 74-36 beat-down of Arkansas State last night. The Pioneers are playing better than anyone in the league, and it's not even close. Just how good were they last night in that victory? DU made 13 of 19 threes, forced ASU into 21 turnovers and held it to 17 points in the first half. And Denver even out-rebounded the Red Wolves, which is surprising because that's not the strongest part of this team's game. Denver still has to beat North Texas next week to prove it's the outright best team in the West, but Joe Scott has this team rolling. It's hardly the same team that limped to a 2-9 start and looked lost offensively. Scott's offense, a Princeton-style system predicated on layups and threes, is a perfect fit for his personnel, and individually nearly every player is playing at a higher level. That's true for freshman Chris Udofia in particular, who recorded a double-double against FIU and has established himself as a primary contributor on this team. Do note that Denver hasn't yet been tested on the road; its only road contests in league play came at bottom-feeders WKU and ULM.
Up Next: Jan. 22 at MTSU, Jan. 29 vs. UNT
3. Arkansas-Little Rock (12-9, 4-2): After losing at UNT and Denver to start SBC play, Arkansas-Little Rock has done everything necessary to stay in contention in this division. The Trojans defended their home court—like they usually do—against three inferior opponents in Troy, Louisiana-Monroe and Louisiana-Lafayette. UALR then notched an important road win last night at Florida International (remember, this team didn't win a road game last season). It's easy to forget about the Trojans this season. After all, they weren't very good last year, and Denver, FAU and North Texas get most of the attention in this league. Plus, Shields is known for his methodical, grinding style of play, and that's not of interest to any fans. But Arkansas-Little Rock has quietly pieced together a solid campaign and has a senior-laden backcourt. The Trojans don't have much size, but they're scrappy and will put up a fight in this division.
Up Next: Jan. 22 at FAU, Jan. 29 vs. Arkansas State
4. Arkansas State (10-11, 4-3): It's the kind of score that causes a double-take: Denver 74, Arkansas State 36. After a three-game winning streak, it looked like the Red Wolves were turning the corner. Last week, ASU dug a hole against Lamar in a non-conference match-up but rallied for a home win. Two months ago, it wouldn't have completed that comeback—but Arkansas State was a new team. Right? After scoring 17 points in the first half against Denver, maybe this is the same ASU team after all. No players scored in double figures last night and John Brady's normally stout defense allowed the Pioneers to shoot nearly 58 percent from the field. The good news is, ASU has a chance to correct things when it travels to North Texas Saturday.
Up Next: Jan. 22 at North Texas, Jan. 27 vs. ULM, Jan. 29 at UALR
5. Louisiana-Lafayette (4-14, 1-5): Centenary was just what ULL needed. Bob Marlin is having a rough first season: point guard Josh Brown is injured again, center Colby Batiste is off the team and the Rajun' Cajuns have lost five of six Sun Belt games. That's why a game against Centenary, which is in the process of moving to Division III, came at the perfect time. Louisiana-Lafayette played the Gentleman on Wednesday night and won by 32 points. Former Centenary guard David Perez, playing immediately this season because of that reclassification, scored zero points against his former team and missed all six shots he took.
Up Next: Jan. 22 vs. ULM, Jan. 27 vs. UNT, Jan. 30 at South Alabama
6. Louisiana-Monroe (6-14, 1-5): The Warhawks lost at UALR by 31, at UTEP by 30 and at Stephen F. Austin by 24. So ULM's 67-65 win at South Alabama was a bit surprising last week. Star guard Fred Brown scored 25 points in that victory. He's playing more efficiently lately and has benefited from the development Tommy Sykes beside him. With a league win under his belt, coach Keith Richard can now focus his attention on a rivalry game this weekend. Louisiana-Lafayette and ULM will battle for second-to-last-place tomorrow, so throw out the records! In all seriousness, the winner will have a little momentum for the rest of the year, and the loser may be destined for dead last.
Up Next: Jan 22. at ULL, Jan. 27 at ASU, Jan. 29 vs. Troy

A representative for George Clooney has accused news outlets of taking the actor's comments about basketball buddy Leonardo DiCaprio in a new Esquire magazine interview out of context.
As part of a chat, in which Clooney takes aim at Ashton Kutcher and Russell Crowe, he's quoted as suggesting DiCaprio should be more careful about who he hangs out with, recalling a basketball game between the two stars and their entourages.
He says, "The thing about playing Leo is you have all these guys talking [bleep]. We get there, and there's this guy, Danny A, I think his name is. Danny A is this club kid from New York. And he comes up to me and says, 'We played once at Chelsea Piers (in Manhattan). I kicked your [bleep].'"
He adds, "The discrepancy between their game and how they talked about their game made me think of how important it is to have someone in your life to tell you what's what. I'm not sure if Leo has someone like that."
But Clooney's rep tells Us Weekly magazine the remarks he made to Esquire have been taken out of context.
The publicist explains, "The Leo comments made by George were all made in fun about basketball. Not about Leo's life. … The writer and George were laughing about basketball buddies."
But the rep isn't playing down his client's comments about Crowe after Clooney recalled receiving a poetry book from the "Gladiator" star as a form of apology for comments he made about the Gravity actor in 2005.
Clooney told Esquire, "(Crowe) picked a fight with me. He started it for no reason at all. He put out this thing saying, 'George Clooney, Harrison Ford, and Robert De Niro are sellouts'… He really went after me. And so I sent him a note going, 'Dude, the only people who succeed when two famous people are fighting is People magazine. What the [bleep] is wrong with you?'"
The star's aide says, "George was asked about it and told the truth."

Event coordinator Alison Armstrong and Ruth Farrell compare notes.
The UVM Libraries' first Research Conference was held on August 2nd, 2011 in the Bailey/Howe Library. Library faculty and staff shared details of research initiatives ongoing within the libraries, through oral presentations and poster sessions.
Ruth Farrell, Associate Vice President for Research Administration, opened the event by questioning why research gets done at a university, despite the challenges presented by time constraints, lack of funding, and the burden of associated administrative tasks. "What you do," she assured assembled library faculty and staff, "impacts every single student and every single faculty member."
Fred Pond, of the Dana Medical Library, presented Old Vermont Film, New Opportunities for Research, describing his efforts in collaboration with the Vermont Historical Society (VHS) to preserve and digitize items from the VHS's collection of 16mm films. To date 24 films have been digitized, some of which can be viewed at http://www.vermonthistory.org/index.php/library/moving-images-collection.html.
In An Analysis of Clinical Questions Asked at Professor Rounds, Nancy Bianchi, of the Dana Medical Library, described a study that analyzed 213 questions posed at the College of Medicine's Pediatrics professor rounds, reviewing the types of information resources consulted to discover answers. 91% of questions were answerable, but Bianchi cautioned that in the context of the pedagogical model of professor rounds, "sometimes not finding an answer is as important as finding an answer."
The Bailey/Howe Library's Scott Schaffer examined possible impacts of higher education on census data with College Students and the US Census. Citing examples of counties such as Alachua, FL, Tuscaloosa, AL, and Brazos, TX, with poverty rates significantly higher than the national average, despite hosting large research universities, Schaffer raised questions about the ways college students' habitats and finances are reported via census data, and how they might affect overall data about population, income, and ethnicity.

Real Property Tax Forfeiture and Foreclosures
Governor Whitmer has issued Executive Order 2020-14, which extends the redemption deadline for 2020 real property foreclosures to May 29, 2020. Extended Foreclosure Notices were recently mailed to many parties of interest for properties which would otherwise have foreclosed at the end of March.
If you have yet to pay delinquent 2017 and/or earlier real property taxes, please contact your county treasurer's office for details on making payment.
Real property tax delinquency entails a three-year forfeiture and foreclosure process in Michigan. Parcels are forfeited to the county treasurers when the real property taxes are in the second year of delinquency. Real property taxes which remain unpaid as of March 31 in the third year of delinquency are foreclosed upon by the Foreclosing Governmental Unit (FGU). The FGU is responsible for inspecting forfeited property, providing due process notifications and subsequent disposition of the tax foreclosed property.

Ryan defends not specifying which tax loopholes Romney would close
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have declined to release details of their tax plan, because they want to work out the specifics with Congress after the election, Ryan said on Sunday.
"We want to have this debate in the public," he told This Week's George Stephanopoulos. "We want to have this debate with Congress."
Ryan was responding to Bill Clinton's Wednesday address to the Democratic National Convention, in which the former president claimed a Romney administration would eliminate middle class tax deductions. "If they stay with this $5 trillion tax cut plan in a debt reduction plan, the arithmetic tells us, no matter what they say, one of three things is about to happen," Clinton said. "One, assuming they try to do what they say they'll do … they'll have to eliminate so many deductions, like the ones for home mortgages and charitable giving, that middle-class families will see their tax bills go up an average of $2,000, while anybody who makes $3 million or more will see their tax bill go down $250,000."
"The question is not necessarily what loopholes go, but who gets them," Ryan replied. "High income earners use most of the loopholes. That means they can shelter their income from taxation. But if you take those loopholes, those tax shelters, away from high income earners, more of their income is subject to taxation and that allows us to lower our tax rates on everybody."
Stephanopoulos pressed Ryan on this point, asking how Americans could trust Romney and Ryan to lower taxes on the middle class when they wouldn't say specifically which deductions they planned to eliminate. "Don't voters have a right to know which loopholes you're going to go after?" he asked.
"So Mitt Romney and I, based on our experience, think the best way to do this is to show the framework, show the outlines of these planks, and then work with Congress to do this," Ryan replied. "That's how you get things done."
Ryan also rejected Stephanopoulos' suggestion that this amounted to a "secret plan."
"What we don't want is a secret plan," he said. "What we don't want to do is cut some backroom deal like Obamacare and then hatch it to the country."
Clinton's numbers came from a Tax Policy Center study which Mitt Romney derided as "garbage." Nonetheless, the institute stands by its research, and pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA has deployed it in a new ad which echoes Clinton's line of attack.

Challenging Stitches From Japanese Designs, Part 1 with Gayle RoehmMany knitters are intrigued by the interesting stitchwork found in Japanese hand-knitting designs. In this class, we'll explore some charted stitches which will surely be new to the experienced knitter. How are these stitches challenging? The chart may be hard to interpret (with composite symbols or Japanese footnotes) or the execution of the stitch may be unusual. We'll do a quick review of Japanese stitch symbology, then swatch four or five stitch patterns. Bring an adventuresome attitude!
Note: Students must be very comfortable knitting from charted stitch patterns. Some familiarity with Japanese stitch symbology is useful but not required.
SuppliesNon-textured smooth yarn for swatching (leftovers are fine) and needles suitable for the yarn (suggested: DK or worsted weight with needles 5 to 7); crochet hook; cable needle or DPN.
Sharp scissors, notebook, pen or pencil with an eraser, stitch markers, blunt tapestry needles (large and small), flexible tape measure, small calculator, and needles & crochet hooks of various sizes.

I was jst staring at my wall, it's covered in diagrams and various formulas from past projects, one of them was my opengl gui lib which I never even finished. All of a sudden I have an urge to start a similar experiment.
I am wanting to create my own API for drawing on a "canvas" I guess you could say. Now, say all of my drawing operations have finished and it's all been processed into a bitmap. Should I just go ahead and patblt or something? Is this the best way to do it?? Is there a quicker way to draw a bitmap on the screen? Do I have to use a DC and do I have to use the Win32API to access it?
It's nearly 3am so I'm probably making no sense, and I did search and I'm pretty sure that I do need to use a DC and can't just manipulate the memory block for my "canvas" directly.
How, for instance, does OpenGL draw to the screen?

Novel drug shuts down master protein key to lymphoma
Researchers have discovered how an experimental drug is capable of completely eradicating human lymphoma in mice after just five doses. The study, led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College, sets the stage for testing the drug in clinical trials of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, itself the seventh most frequently diagnosed cancer in the U.S.
In the journal Cell Reports, published today online, the scientists describe how the powerful master regulatory transcription factor Bcl6 regulates the genome, ensuring that aggressive lymphomas survive and thrive. They also show how the Bcl6 inhibitor, developed at Weill Cornell, effectively gums up the protein, stopping it from working.
While Bcl6 is active in a number of cancers, including leukemia and breast cancer, work testing a Bcl6 inhibitor is most advanced in DLBCL. "That's because we desperately need a new strategy to treat this lymphoma—many patients are resistant to currently available treatments," says the study's senior investigator, Dr. Ari Melnick, Gebroe Family Professor of Hematology/Oncology and director of the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Center for Biomedical and Physical Sciences at Weill Cornell.
Dr. Melnick developed the first BCL6 inhibitors nine years ago, and has continued to improve upon the design of these drugs so they could be used to treat cancer patients. He has since collaborated with colleagues at many institutions in a systemic effort to understand how both Bcl6 and its inhibitor drugs function.
In a study published in March in Nature Immunology, Dr. Melnick and his team reported that it is possible to shut down Bcl6 in DLBCL without affecting its vital role in the T cells and macrophages needed to support a healthy immune system. The protein has long been considered too complex to target with a drug as it also is crucial to proper function of many immune system cells, not just B cells gone bad.
That finding suggested Bcl6 inhibiting drugs may have few side effects, says Dr. Melnick, who is also a hematologist-oncologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
The latest study was designed to understand exactly how Bcl6 promotes DLBCL.
Transcription factors are responsible for either inhibiting or promoting the expression of genes, and master regulatory transcription factors are like transcription factors on steroids: their actions regulate thousands of genes in different kinds of cells. Bcl6 can control the type of immune cell that develops in the bone marrow—pushing them to become B cells, T cells, or macrophages—and it has a primary role in the developmental phase of B cells, during which they generate specific antibodies against pathogens.
The researchers found that in order to help B cells produce antibodies against an infection, Bcl6 "builds a huge shopping mall-style complex" that sits on top of a stretch of the genome. By binding onto these genes, Bcl6 deactivates the DNA, stopping genes from producing RNA and proteins. "Bcl6 acts like a barcode reader. When it sees that barcode—the DNA sequence—it attaches there," Dr. Melnick.
Normally, the protein complex goes away after an immune reaction has been successfully mounted against the pathogen. But when it doesn't, and remains stuck to the genes, DLBCL can result. That's because Bcl6 is inhibiting genes that stop cells from dividing and that sense damage to the genome, Dr. Melnick says. "We now know the genes that Bcl6 is repressing and how that helps lymphoma develop and survive."
Bcl6 also has a second, independent function that Dr. Melnick says acts like a switch on railroad track that routes a train in one direction or another. One track is needed when antibodies are required for an immune response, while the other keeps B cells in a constant state of division.
The researchers found that in order for DLBCL to survive, Bcl6 needs to maintain both its shopping mall protein complex and keep the train tracks on the path toward B cell division.
To their surprise, they also found that both the complex and the train switch attach to the Bcl6 protein at the same site. "They fit into the same keyholes on Bcl6," Dr. Melnick says. "There are two identical binding sites on the protein surface."
Even better, the Bcl6 inhibitor they developed was designed to fit into that same keyhole.
"This is wonderfully serendipitous—our drug just happens to be able to overcome both of the biological mechanisms that are key to survival of aggressive lymphoma," Dr. Melnick says, adding that the inhibitor completely eradicated DLBCL in mice in a short time, with no detectable side effects.
The team is conducting additional research toward an investigational new drug application from the federal Food and Drug Admission.

Man fatally shoots 1, wounds other at Ky. meeting
Fri., Sept. 7, 2012
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Louisville man who was having zoning trouble with the fence around his house shot and killed a neighbor and critically injured another at a homeowners association meeting inside a church, police said Friday.
Mahmoud Yousef Hindi, 55, is scheduled to be arraigned Saturday morning on charges of murder, assault and seven counts of wanton endangerment following the Thursday evening shooting, which took place during a meeting of the Spring Creek Homeowners Association. Police didn't release the type of weapon used.
What specifically sparked the attack wasn't clear. Hindi, though, had a history of disputes with the homeowners group revolving around a fence that the association said didn't meet its height or design requirements, said Louisville Police Lt. Barry Wilkerson. There were also disputes over a driveway he had recently installed in his yard without first obtaining the proper permits, Wilkerson said. Last year, he sent a threatening letter about the dispute to the group's attorney, the attorney said.
The fence at the center of the dispute was no longer standing at the house Friday.
"We do know that is a part of it," Wilkerson said. "How much, I don't know."
Wilkerson wouldn't say if Hindi confessed after his arrest but said that "he did give us an account of what happened."
Hindi was only at the meeting for a short time before he started shooting, police said. Some of the several people in attendance detained him until officers arrived.
David Merritt, 73, a one-time president of the homeowners association, was shot once in the head and died at the scene, said Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Jo-Ann Farmer. The wounded man, whose identity was not immediately released, was hospitalized Friday at the University of Louisville Hospital, Farmer said.
Spring Creek Homeowners Association attorney Mike Kelly told The Associated Press that the group accused Hindi of violating zoning laws. Hindi wrote several letters to Kelly, expressing anger and contempt for the attorney, Kelly said.
In one letter sent Aug. 25, 2011, which the AP obtained as a public record, Hindi ranted about several neighbors in the upscale community of $300,000 homes.
A medical doctor educated in Jordan, Hindi cited the Quran, the theory of creationism, and the idea that America has moved to Communism. He also threatened to form his own homeowners association and accused neighbors of stealing his "no trespassing signs" during the dispute over the fence. Hindi also wrote that he tried to make peace with the neighbors, but became frustrated.
"It came to the point I was going to shoot any trespassers," Hindi wrote. He wrote that if anyone doubted his intentions, "Try me and go ahead make my day."
The Spring Creek subdivision in the predominantly upper-middle-class eastern end of Louisville includes stately, two-story brick homes, many valued between $270,000 and $300,000. It has manicured lawns and identical mailboxes. The homeowner's association bylaws, posted on its website, include restrictions on the height, type and placement of fences; grass-cutting regulations (not to exceed 6 inches); and a requirement that every house have at least a two-car garage.
Barbara Pass, who lives down the street from Hindi, said people were intimidated by him, "because they never knew what to expect from him."
"He threatened people, he would say things like, 'You know I've got a gun and I just might use it.'"
She said he threatened his next-door neighbor so much that the family moved.
Pass, a former member of the homeowner's board, said she didn't go to the meeting because of a recent surgery.
Hindi's family members were surprised and puzzled by the shooting and arrest.
"Oh, my God," said his sister-in-law Magda Hindi when reached by telephone at her home in Carmel, Ind. Magda Hindi said she had been unaware of the shooting and arrest.
Hassan Hindi, Mahmoud Hindi's brother and Magda Hindi's husband, said family members tried to speak with Mahmoud Hindi on Thursday night and Friday morning, but authorities did not allow them to.
"Even his family does not know what happened," Hassan Hindi said in a telephone interview. "What happened is still not clear."
In the August 2011 letter to the association, Mahmoud Hindi wrote that he had been "biting my teeth and exercising the highest level of self-restraint" in dealing with his neighbors.
"As I always tell … I will protect the sacred interest of my kids even if it comes to killing and even if I lose my own life in the course of doing so," Hindi wrote. "Thank God the house is paid off. I can pass away in peace with no concerns."
Hindi also referred to a letter from Kelly about the code violation issue as a "stupid terrorist attempt."
"If you ever dare to write my kids and pursue intimidation and harassment, you will be sorry; trust me," Hindi wrote.
In papers dated May 11, Hindi requested a waiver from the city to keep his driveway.
The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure lists Hindi as having been admitted to practice in Graves County in western Kentucky in March 2001. Hindi's license expired in February 2008. No reason is listed for the expiration. Hindi, who listed his medical school as University of Jordan, Amman, practiced nuclear medicine.
The Kentucky Secretary of State's office records show Hindi incorporated M. Yoseph Hindi, MD Enterprises in Mayfield in May 2002, but the company was administratively dissolved in November 2003 for failing to file an annual report with the state.

President Barack Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate last year to appoint three members of the National Labor Relations Board, a federal appeals court ruled Friday in a far-reaching decision that could severely limit a chief executive's powers to make recess appointments.
WASHINGTON | President Barack Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate last year to appoint three members of the National Labor Relations Board, a federal appeals court ruled Friday in a far-reaching decision that could severely limit a chief executive's powers to make recess appointments.
The decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit marked a victory for Republicans and business groups critical of the labor board. If it stands, it could invalidate hundreds of board decisions during the past year, including some that make it easier for unions to organize.
When Obama filled the vacancies Jan. 4, 2012, Congress was on an extended holiday break. But GOP lawmakers gaveled in for a few minutes every three days just to prevent Obama from making recess appointments. The White House argued that the pro forma sessions — some lasting less than a minute — were a sham.
The court rejected that argument, finding that under the Constitution, a recess occurs only during the breaks between formal yearlong sessions of Congress, not just any informal break when lawmakers leave town. It also held that presidents can bypass the Senate only when administration vacancies occur during a recess.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said the administration strongly disagrees with the decision and that the labor board would continue to conduct business as usual, despite calls by some Republicans for the board members to resign.
"The decision is novel and unprecedented," Carney said. "It contradicts 150 years of practice by Democratic and Republican administrations."
Under the court's decision, 285 recess appointments made by presidents between 1867 and 2004 would be invalid.
The Justice Department hinted that the administration would ask the Supreme Court to overturn the decision, which was rendered by three conservative judges appointed by Republican presidents. "We disagree with the court's ruling and believe that the president's recess appointments are constitutionally sound," the statement said.
The court acknowledged that the ruling conflicts with what some other federal appeals courts have held about when recess appointments are valid, which only added to the likelihood of an appeal to the high court.
"I think this is a very important decision about the separation of powers," said Carl Tobias, a constitutional law professor at Virginia's University of Richmond. "The court's reading has limited the president's ability to counter the obstruction of appointments by a minority in the Senate that has been pretty egregious in the Obama administration."
The ruling also threw into question the legitimacy of Obama's recess appointment of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Cordray's appointment, made on the same date, has been challenged in a separate case.
Carney insisted the court's ruling affects only a single case before the labor board and would have no bearing on Cordray's appointment. Obama on Thursday renominated Cordray for the job.
The case challenging the recess appointments was brought by Noel Canning, a Washington state bottling company that claimed an NLRB decision against it was not valid because the board members were not properly appointed. The D.C. Circuit panel agreed.
Obama made the recess appointments after Senate Republicans blocked his choices for an agency they contended was biased in favor of unions. Obama claims he acted properly because the Senate was away for the holidays on a 20-day recess. The Constitution allows for such appointments without Senate approval when Congress is in recess.
But during that time, GOP lawmakers argued, the Senate technically had stayed in session because it was gaveled in and out every few days for so-called pro forma sessions.
GOP lawmakers used the tactic — as Democrats had done in the past — specifically to prevent the president from using his recess power to install members to the labor board and the consumer board. They had also vigorously opposed the nomination of Cordray.
The three-judge panel flatly rejected arguments from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, which claimed that the president has discretion to decide that the Senate is unavailable to perform its advice and consent function.
"Allowing the president to define the scope of his own appointment power would eviscerate the Constitution's separation of powers," Chief Judge David Sentelle wrote in the 46-page ruling. He was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.
The court ruled that during one of those pro forma sessions Jan. 3, 2012, the Senate officially convened its second session of the 112th Congress, as required by the Constitution.
Sentelle's opinion was joined by Judge Thomas Griffith and Karen LeCraft Henderson.
"With this ruling, the D.C. Circuit has soundly rejected the Obama administration's flimsy interpretation of the law, and (it) will go a long way toward restoring the constitutional separation of powers," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
GOP House Speaker John Boehner welcomed the ruling as "a victory for accountability in government."

Starting March 3, those hoping to play online games between 10pm and 8am in Vietnam will need to find a workaround. The country's Ministry of Information and Communication has asked internet service providers to block access to online games.
"Provincial departments of information and communication will inspect on-line games activities nationwide and deal with organizations that violate regulations by canceling their services," said the ministry's Deputy Minister Le Nam Thang (via Info.VN).
The measure seems to target Vietnam's youth who spend their nights in game parlors, but online game operators say that this measure will make gaming more difficult for adults who want to game as well as making maintenance harder.
The Vietnamese government will revise this decree sometime this year and make improvements. Not sure how one can improve an internet curfew, but good luck with that!
