Janet Fraser, a home birth advocate and founder of the site Joyous Birth, recently experienced a personal tragedy when her baby died at her home in Australia on March 27 during her free birth or unassisted childbirth (where a woman gives birth at home without the aid of a midwife or doctor).
When a tragedy like this occurs, people are often left scratching their heads wondering how something like this could happen, what went wrong, and lastly, who's to blame? I don't know if we need to point a finger to make ourselves feel better, but it seems to be human nature to ask, "why did this happen?"
While I did not consider giving birth at home without a midwife in attendance for my home birth, I know a handful of women who chose an unassisted birth and I respect them for it. I believe these women did a great deal of research in advance, knew what they were doing, trusted their bodies and their babies and were prepared to go to the hospital if any issues arose. Although I don't know her, I trust that Janet Fraser would fall into this category as well. Not everyone agrees with me though and some, like Amber Watson-Tardiff, are suggesting that what Fraser did by having her baby unassisted was "reckless, neglectful and borderline criminal."
Jessica Gottlieb of Eco Child's Play says, "I support women who chose a home birth. But a free birth? I cannot see the wisdom in it. Neither can Ms. Fraser's baby."
Watson-Tardiff goes on to say, "I hope she is at least subject to an investigation for child endangerment."
Ronda Kaysen of MomLogic says she sees the value of home birth as a way of reducing medical intervention, but believes giving birth without medical assistance is "absurd."
Fraser's "free birth" argument, which on the surface appears feminist, is actually the opposite. It doesn't empower women to take control of their own bodies. It sends them and their babies into the dark ages of medical care – where women give birth with no medical care at all and face the very real possibility of death as a consequence.
For the record the police are investigating the death and have said "it was not clear whether the baby was stillborn or died after delivery. If a baby is stillborn, there is no autopsy. If a baby is alive at birth and dies soon after, it is considered a matter for the coroner."
I guess I give Fraser the benefit of the doubt and assume that like most mothers she was doing what she thought was in the best interest of her baby. Although she coined the term birth rape (birth interventions done against the woman's wishes), I don't believe she would put her child in harm's way rather than accept a potentially life-saving intervention. Then again I don't know Fraser and have not spoken to her, so I can only speculate just as others are doing, but I prefer to give her the benefit of the doubt. However, I do believe that whenever a child dies, there should be an investigation into the death.
While many are blaming Fraser for her baby's death since she did not have a doctor or midwife in attendance, no one seems to mention the fact that babies die in the hospital, where doctors are present, all the time.
Laura Shanley, author of the book Unassisted Childbirth and owner of the Bornfree! website who blogs at Letters from Laura – Thoughts on Unassisted Childbirth, brought up that point and shared another perspective many of us may not have thought of when she shared the following statement with me:
I don't know Janet, but of course my heart goes out to her. An Australian friend of mine has told me that despite what the media is saying, Janet's baby was stillborn and the outcome wouldn't have been different had the baby been born in the hospital. Regardless of whether or not this is true, I find it sad that so many people are blaming Janet for her baby's death. A baby is stillborn in an American hospital every fifteen to twenty minutes. According to a story on my local newscast, this is double what it was ten years ago. Yet almost no one blames hospital birth mothers (nor should they) for these babies' deaths. This is because it's assumed that if a baby dies or is stillborn in the hospital, everything possible was done to save the baby's life. The possibility that at least some of these deaths might have been caused by early inductions, c-sections and other interventions is rarely discussed.
I can tell you, however, that as a homebirth advocate I have received numerous letters over the years from grieving mothers who wonder if their hospital born baby might have survived (or avoided injury) had they been born at home. The fact is, in most cases we may never know. Sometimes medical intervention saves lives, and sometimes it takes them. This is why I encourage parents to do their own research and decide for themselves where and with whom they want to give birth. In my case, I chose to give birth at home unassisted because from the research I had done I felt that the majority of problems in birth – both now and in the past – could be traced to three main causes: poverty, unnecessary medical intervention, and fear which triggers the fight/flight response and shuts down labor. Despite what most people believe, the act of birth itself is not dangerous. But our cultural beliefs and practices can make it so. In the end, it's a personal decision. And just as the death of a hospital-born baby doesn't mean that no baby should ever be born in the hospital, the same should be said for babies born at home. Regardless of the outcome of this case, I will continue to speak out about unassisted childbirth as I believe that in most cases it's the safest and most satisfying way to give birth.
Genie, an Australian blogger who writes at Home Is Where the Heart Is, blogged extensively about her thoughts regarding Janet Fraser and defends her choice to have her baby unassisted at home. She feels the insinuation that women who birth at home do it to feed their own ego at the expense of their child is "a crock."
Women choose to homebirth with their baby's best interest at heart. They do it FOR the baby, not in spite of the baby. Yes they want to feel empowered and blissed out, but the lack of trauma and the satisfaction a mother gets after a natural birth all benefits the baby too. A mother's health and well being has a HUGE impact on the baby. So why should we ignore the interest and well-being of the mother?
In the wake of this tragedy and surrounding media coverage, some feel the need to point out that there is a difference between home birth and free birth. Dr. Meredith Nash of The Baby Bump Project says homebirth and freebirth are not the same.
The media has failed to differentiate between freebirth or unassisted birth (no midwife or doctor) and homebirth (a birth at home, usually with a midwife or homebirth doctor). For the most part, for low-risk births that are attended properly, homebirth has been proven to be a safe alternative to hospital birth. Freebirthing is significantly more risky (sorry, I'm a supporter but also a realist). It is essential to make this differentiation. Now that homebirth is on the precipice of being banned given that independent midwives are likely going to be denied indemnity insurance from next year, the suggestion that all women who homebirth are crazy radicals or that homebirth represents the majority of birthing women in Australia (only about 2%) is ridiculous. If anything, midwives and their ability to attend homebirths will be the saving grace of the Australian maternity system. Rather than convincing the small proportion of women who avoid a medicalized birth, why not support these women in their choices by making homebirth safe and easy?
Summer Minor, who blogs at Wired for Noise and gave birth to her daughter at home a little over a week ago, references the recent Nederlands study that says home birth is as safe as hospital birth. "A new study is out from the Netherlands that gives us home birthing mothers a nice little pat on the back. Despite the labels of 'dangerous' and 'unsafe' by some, once again it's been found to be just as safe as giving birth in a hospital." From the BBC:
The largest study of its kind has found that for low-risk women, giving birth at home is as safe as doing so in hospital with a midwife.
Research from the Netherlands – which has a high rate of home births – found no difference in death rates of either mothers or babies in 530,000 births.
I think that Shanley said it best when she said, "In the end, it's a personal decision. And just as the death of a hospital-born baby doesn't mean that no baby should ever be born in the hospital, the same should be said for babies born at home." We all must do our research and make the choices that we feel are the best for ourselves and our babies and then, find peace with our decisions.
I offer Janet Fraser and her family my deepest sympathy. My thoughts are with them.

| 8°C Belfast
Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is glad he ignored Steve Bruce's advice to avoid a career in coaching.
The two former Manchester United favourites come face-to-face for the first time on Saturday in a match that both see as a big chance to bank three important points in the Barclays Premier League relegation battle.
The pair never crossed paths at Old Trafford, with Bruce leaving United in 1996, just before Solksjaer arrived.
But when they met subsequently, Bruce light-heartedly attempted to steer the Norwegian away from a life in the dugout.
It was never a tip Solksjaer was likely to take, as he coached the Red Devils reserves and then began his career as a number one with Molde.
He may now be in charge of the Premier League's second-bottom side, but the 40-year-old is still content with his decision.
"I don't really know Brucey that well because he left before I came to United, but we've met a few times," he said.
"We never got to know each other as players but I remember he said to me a few years ago about management 'don't even think about it because it's too stressful'.
"But I enjoy it, I love it. You could have an easy life - it's not like you have to work because you've made your money - but that's not me."
Solskjaer even suspects Bruce is having a good time again, having put a disappointing end to his Sunderland reign behind him by leading Hull back to the top flight.
The Tigers are the best-placed of the three promoted teams heading into the weekend fixtures, with Crystal Palace a point behind them and the Bluebirds a further four adrift.
"I've always looked up to ex-Manchester United players who have done well and the way he has bounced back, having had ups and downs...he seems to be enjoying it," said the Cardiff boss.
"I'm not surprised how well they've done. But if we win we'll only have two points to make up on them.
"If you look at the situation they're in and we're in, there's not too much between us, which you'd expect for teams coming up from the Championship."
Manager Steve Bruce believes Hull's season could hit new highs in the next three days, but is praying injuries do not ruin the fun.
The Tigers can give their survival hopes a major shot in the arm on Saturday before a quick turnaround sees them host Brighton in Monday night's FA Cup fifth-round replay.
Bruce is ill at ease with the idea of playing twice in little more than 48 hours but accepts that two victories would leave his side with plenty to look forward to.
Barclays Premier League safety is the priority, and would move one step closer to reality with success in South Wales, while a home quarter-final draw against Sunderland awaits the winners of the cup clash.
"Can we get to 30 points and be in a cup quarter-final by Monday? It's all to play for and it would be a terrific boost for us all," he said.
"It's a big game every week for us, from the day we started at Chelsea to our first home game. They're all big games and Cardiff is another one.
"We could open up a huge margin over them, (effectively) nine points if you count the goal difference, then there's the chance to play for a home quarter-final.
"We're not exactly steeped in history and tradition of going to FA Cup finals or semi-finals, so it would be terrific for everyone concerned.
"Why can't we mount a challenge on two fronts?"
Despite his enthusiasm, Bruce concedes that the prospect of injuries remains an issue, particularly with so little recovery time between outings.
The Brighton clash cannot be played on Tuesday or Wednesday due to UEFA guidelines on Champions League weeks, meaning both sides will be crossing their fingers for a clean bill of health as well as a positive result.
"It's not easy playing Saturday, Monday; I think that's ridiculous," said Bruce.
"It baffles me. Footballers could play every day but they can't play with the same intensity.
"It's like asking an athlete to run a race and then do it again the next day in the same time. It won't happen.
"The thing you have to guard against, that we all worry about, is if you play more games you pick up injuries.
"Very rarely does it happen in training, most of them come taking part in games. If you put your first 11 out and lose two or three of them for the run in, you've got problems."

Service: it is to provide the best services to the patient and physician with the least amount of radiation exposure to the patient and / or operator.
To present the fundamentals of diagnostic radiology, imaging and interventional techniques and promote better patient care, by assisting the physician in the diagnosis of diseases through accurate and prompt radiographic procedures.
Acquaint students with the technical and clinical aspects of radiology.
Brief description of your services
X ray are a form of radiation similar to light rays, except that they are more energetic than light rays and are invisible to the human eye. Patients are entitle to the services and opinion possible at all times.
Medical radiation is a broad term that covers several types of studies that require the visualization of the internal parts of the body using X-ray techniques.
Some of the services At WCH X-ray department are as follows
- General radiology examination such as chest, hand x-rays etc.
- Mammography procedures (x-rays of the beast)
- Ward radiography and neonatal radiography (Prem)
- Ultrasounds O.P.D
- Special Fluoroscopy procedures e.g. Barium studies, H.S.G'S
- Contrasted studies such as intravenous pyelograms- examining the kidney function
- Computed tomography (CT) Scans
- Cardiac catheterization laboratory and
- Call-out duties afterhours mostly for general radiography
We provide services to patients admitted in the hospital or those referred from outside the hospital at the WCH Radiology department. These patients can be state or private patients. Every patient that has need for our services SHOULD be referred to us by a registered Medical Doctor or specialist using relevant request forms.
There are yellow x-ray request forms or white whenever photocopied. Most of the x-ray procedures are requested on this form besides request for ultrasounds, computed Tomography and Catheterization procedures. Occasionally the relevant forms may not be available, but we strongly discourage for patients to be referred using any other form. The patient needs the request form as their health passport for every visit to the radiology department.
It is essential to remain motionless during the x-ray, since movement causes the resulting picture to be blurry. Sometimes patients are ask to hold their breath briefly during the procedure.
Patients need to consult a general practitioner or a specialist in order to be referred to for any X-ray procedure as the Dr. See fix. X-ray cannot be taken without a valid x-ray, CT scan or ultrasound request form from the doctor/specialist.
General x-ray, ward radiography and call outs (afterhours) are done on the same day when pit is requested and only the request form is needed. But for CT Scans, Mammography IVP, Catheterization, Fluoroscopy and Ultrasound procedures patients will be booked and given a date on which the examination will be done.
Patients might need to bring blood or any other results when they come for the scheduled radiology procedures (examination) such as for:
CT Scan: patients will be need to produce the request form , urea and Electrolyte ( U&E) blood results and an informed consent form signed by the patient, referring physician and a witness.
Fluoroscopy: Patients will need a request form and consent form.
Mammography: patients will need only request form, but for special mammography procedures a consent is also needed.
IVP: Patients will need a request form, signed informed consent form U&E blood results and a running intravenous line (IV).
Catheterization: Doctors write in the patients' health passport and referee them to the cardiologist.
Fluoroscopy: The patient will need a request form, ultrasound results and or general x-rays for some procedures.
Ultrasounds: Previous examinations, x-ray films, CT scan images, blood results and a signed consent form for some investigations should be accompany the patient.

Most states require drivers to have auto insurance — but how do you know if you're getting the right type of policy for your needs?
First, fulfill your state's and lender's minimum requirements. A call to your state's insurance commissioner's office can get you started.
The next step is becoming familiar with non-required types of insurance and what each one covers, as well as what is meant by some commonly seen insurance terms.
Know these insurance terms
- Bodily Injury Liability covers injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damage you might cause to other drivers, passengers, and/or pedestrians.
- Rental Reimbursement may pay for a rental vehicle if your car is not drivable after a crash.
- Collision may provide coverage for damage inflicted to your vehicle after a rollover or crash with another car or object. This coverage typically requires a deductible.
- Comprehensive provides coverage for damage to your vehicle after a non-vehicle or non-rollover incident, such as theft or weather damage. This coverage typically requires a deductible.
- Emergency Road Service may cover expenses related to a breakdown, including towing and locksmith services.
- Medical Payments and Personal Injury Protection may offer compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and even funerals if you or other covered persons are injured in a vehicle-related crash.
- Property Damage Liability may cover damage you cause to another individual's property while driving. This also covers court costs and legal expenses.
- Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage may provide reimbursement if you're involved in a crash with a driver who doesn't have sufficient liability insurance — or any at all.
Learn these basic terms
- Premium: Payment you make to your insurance company for your policy.
- Deductible: The amount you pay before your insurance company may pay the rest, up to any policy limits that apply. Higher deductibles equal lower premiums; conversely, lower deductibles equal higher premiums.
- Covered Persons: Policies generally cover the policyholder, their spouse, other relatives living in the home, and individuals driving the policyholder's vehicle with their permission.

The new seeds (Unstable Portal Shards) which allow planting of portals are pretty much pointless, but the overall idea is ok.
I've created one which went to Darnassas and can't for the life of me think why that is useful. A few posts out there too seem to concur.
Here is what I'd change.
- Make then allow selection of the destination city on use. In the same way as the Engineering teleporter for Northrend.
- Consider making them usable by any character on that realm. So that folks will give flexibility to their alts.
- At the moment they are only usable at the Farm. Perhaps (and this might be too overpowered for the novelty they are offering) allow them to be used in other places – say at any location where you qualify for the Rested buff; like Inns.
Mages must think they are a quaint idea. And Shamans. And Inscriptors.
Happy killing, Typhoonandrew

IF more rain falls in Oxford today it could make this January the wettest on record.
By yesterday, total rainfall levels for the month hit a high of 136.7mm.
The wettest January ever recorded at the city's Radcliffe Meteorological Station, on Woodstock Road, was in 1852, when there was 138.7mm of rainfall.
Climate expert Dr Ian Ashpole, who takes daily readings at Radcliffe, Britain's oldest weather station, said: "There have been a lot of days in which a high level of rain has been recorded this month."
Dr Ashpole confirmed that following the high levels of rain since the New Year, this month is on the verge of being the wettest January since records began.
The Met Office forecast light rain in Oxford today, with more rainfall over the next week. Flood alerts remain in place for the whole county.
Rainfall records began at Radcliffe in 1767.
The station is situated next to the old observatory in the gardens of Green Templeton College.

Grad Job in a Box
We are a new start up looking to develop an information product to be sold on the Internet.
The website will provide a product to help recent university/college graduates find a job.
Males/females aged between 21 and 30 who have recently or are about to complete university.
The concept is that all the information they need will be provided in a "box" so that the experience is easy and convenient. Hence the name "gradjobinabox"
The product will be marketed as providing the "inside secrets" the employers use to hire graduates. This must also be reflected in the logo.
The logo needs to reflect the following themes:
- convenience
- youthful
- insider secrets/confidentialiy
- professional
Suggestions (however this is not essential... I am open to the designer using his/her creativity)
- use of a box in the logo
- use of the terms such as "top secret", "confidential", "classified" or "inside information" in the logo
- colours such as black and red to portray the "inside information" side of the marketing
- must have the name "Grad Job in a Box" in the logo
Also note (FYI only):
- the logo will be used as the starting point to designing the company website so the theme and colour scheme used is inportant.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Catholic Bishops and Vicarious Liability for Priests
Personally I think it is rather less exciting than that and is not really that surprising.
What the case involved is an allegation, and it is important to remember that at present nothing has been proved, that the Claimant was sexually abused by a Priest between 1970 - 72. The Priest alleged to have done this is now dead and so could not be sued nor could he defend himself. The question for the High Court was whether the Diocesan Trust (in effect the Diocesan Bishop) could be vicariously liable for the acts of this Priest, assuming that the Claimant could prove her allegations. Normally Vicarious Liability applies to employers being liable for the acts of their employees but historically Catholic Priests have not been regarded in law as being employees of their Bishop instead they have been regarded as an "office holder". One of the important points about them not being employees is that a Priest cannot sue for unfair dismissal if he is removed from his Parish or is laicised (defrocked) under Canon Law.
The possibility of Priests being held to be Employees has been increasing over the years. In Percy v. Church of Scotland [2005] UKHL 73 the House of Lords held that a Minister of the Church of Scotland was in fact an employee not an office holder and so could sue on the grounds of unfair dismissal and sex discrimination. Similarly in the case of New Testament Church of God v Stewart [2007] EWCA Civ 1004 a contract of employment existed between an Evangelical Free Church and its Pastor. One of the differences between these case and that of a Catholic, or Orthodox Priest is that in Catholic and Orthodox Theology a Priest has specific sacramental powers and functions which only an ordained Priest can validly exercise. This is not the case in classic Protestant Theology hence the difference between the Church of Scotland Minister as an employee and the Catholic Priest as an office holder. (NB I appreciate I am oversimplifying the Theology but this is a legal Blog not a theological one)
In th JGE case the Judge accepted that Catholic Priests were office holders rather than being employees however he also accepted that notwithstanding the absence of an employee relationship it was still appropriate to hold the Bishop vicariously liable. This is because the concept of Vicarious liability has been enlarging in the UK and other Common law jurisdictions for a number of years. Prior to 2001 in general terms employers were only liable for acts of their employees that had been authorised and not for acts where the employee was, in the classic Victorian phrase "off on a frolic of his own". However in the case of Lister v Hesley Hall [2001] UKHL 22 the House of Lords accepted that a Boarding School (NB a secular school) could be liable for child abuse committed by one of its employees even though the acts of sex abuse were clearly well outside any acts authorised by the employer.
The test set by the House of Lords was whether it was, on the facts, "fair and just" to hold the School vicariously liable and the answer given was yes. In effect a similar question was asked in this case and once again the answer was yes. The Priest was not an employee of the Bishop but nevertheless it was right to hold the Bishop liable. The core principles are set out in paras 35-36 of the judgment
35 I am satisfied, as I have already noted, that the relationship between Father Baldwin and the Defendants was significantly different from a contract of employment; no real element of control or supervision, no wages, no formal contract and so on. But are those differences such that the Defendants should not be made responsible for the tortious acts of the priest acting within the course of his ministry? There are, it seems to me, crucial features which should be recognised. Father Baldwin was appointed by and on behalf of the Defendants. He was so appointed in order to do their work; to undertake the ministry on behalf of the Defendants for the benefit of the church. He was given the full authority of the Defendants to fulfil that role. He was provided with the premises, the pulpit and the clerical robes. He was directed into the community with that full authority and was given free rein to act as representative of the church. He had been trained and ordained for that purpose. He had immense power handed to him by the Defendants. It was they who appointed him to the position of trust which (if the allegations be proved) he so abused.
36 Why, one may ask, does it matter that some of the features of a classic contract of employment do not apply here? What is the relevance to the concept of vicarious liability, for example, of the lack of a formal agreement with terms and conditions; or of the manner of remuneration; or of the understanding that the relationship was not subject to adjudication by the secular courts? Those features may have relevance in a different context, but not to the question of whether, in justice, the Defendants should be responsible for the tortious acts of the man appointed and authorised by them to act on their behalf.
The decision is, as I have stated, not that surprising and had it been different and had the Court decided that Catholic Dioceses were not liable for abuse carried out by Catholic Priests then I suspect there would have been a demand for legislation which might have put Dioceses in an even more difficult legal position. As it is the case is clear that Priests are not employees in law which I suspect was the main point the Church was concerned about.
The case against the Diocese can therefore proceed but I do want to say as a lawyer that I am increasingly concerned by the Justice, or injustice, of Claimants being allowed to bring claims alleging acts decades ago by people who are now dead and unable to defend themselves. That seems to me to go against every principle of Natural Justice and ultimately will bring the law into disrepute.

Thank you for explaining the implications of this case. Incidentally, I fully endorse the sentiment of your closing paragraph.

Thanks for this helpful explanation, Neil.
I share your concerns and in particular I see no reason no reason for the disclosure of accused's name unless and until proven guilty. I do not see how the cause of justice is better served by releasing his name at this stage. If he is found not guilty irreparable damage will have been done to his name and any legacy that he may have, and it is less likely that any remedial action would be taken.

Thank you for this. Here in the US a similar expansion to the principle of "respondeat superior" has taken place to include the provision of a context in which a tort might occur, rather than limiting the range to tortious performance of specific duties. For clergy is seems especially important to acknowledge that the position or office in and of itself creates some expectations and provides an ambit for action not precisely spelled out in the "job description." Thanks for setting out the thinking on the English side of the question.

From Chris Morley
I disagree with some of your analysis and conclusions.
You said: "The decision is .... not that surprising ... and had the Court decided that Catholic Dioceses were not liable for abuse ... by Catholic Priests then I suspect there would have been a demand for legislation which might have put Dioceses in an even more difficult legal position.
... it is ... clear that Priests are not employees in law which I suspect was the main point the Church was concerned about."
Rather than attempt to change the law, what would have happened instead is that JGE would simply have appealed to the Appeal Court and would have won (on your own assessment of the law), and because the Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham had accepted, in a similar case, that it was vicariously liable for sexual abuse by its priest.
The Portsmouth diocese could, like Birmingham, have simply conceded it was in principle vicariously liable, while denying their priest was an employee. The High Court in fact easily accepted the fact that the priest was an office holder, like CoE clergy.
It looks instead more likely that Portsmouth diocese was seeking to evade the principle of vicarious liability and so escape potential liability for paying any compensation.
You also say:
"I do want to say as a lawyer that I am increasingly concerned by the Justice, or injustice, of Claimants being allowed to bring claims alleging acts decades ago by people who are now dead and unable to defend themselves. That seems to me to go against every principle of Natural Justice and ultimately will bring the law into disrepute."
However the courts allow such exceptional cases to proceed to trial, in the interests of justice, because reporting sexual abuse while still a vulnerable child is almost unknown.
That seems to be a way of justifying letting churches, schools and other institutions off the legal hook entirely for child sexual abuse. That really would bring the law, justice and churches and other institutions responsible for caring for vulnerable children into serious disrepute and be an unacceptable scandal to most of the public.
It will be for the High Court to carefully take into account the absence, due to death, of her alleged rapist and abuser. The bishop claims the priest worked on the other side of the diocese at the time and had no contact with her. We may assume he has evidence to prove this defence, or he would not have made such a claim.
And the Court will look critically at the reliability of the claimant's evidence in the context of the very long passage of time.

Wisconsin dreaming, on such an Election Day.
Your blogger married a Wisconsin girl, but I try to limit my visits to the summer months. It's cold there most of the year, really cold. But on this Election Day, I'll be wishing I was there.
Wisconsin is having the sort of election that California doesn't have: a state election that matters.
U.S. & World
Democrats and labor unions have qualified a recall against Gov. Scott Walker, who has supported a series of conservative policies, most notably stripping many public workers of collective bargaining rights.
The outcome of the recall vote matters a great deal. if Walker is recalled, many of his policies likely will be reversed. If he keeps his office (as the polls suggest he will), his policies will be entrenched and he may be able to pursue an even more conservative direction.
Your blogger is no fan of Walker. But it sure would be nice if California elections meant this much -- or meant anything at all.
On the current ballot, the voters are faced with two ballot initiatives of minor import -- a term limits measure that makes very small changes to term limits, and a cigarette tax that would be modestly good for public health and modestly bad for the budget -- and a host of legislative elections.
And it doesn't much matter who wins those elections.
For one thing, the party that will control each seat is already known in almost every single race. The only mystery is the identity of the winning candidates.
But even that doesn't matter much in California.
Because so many of the basic decisions of government have already been made -- by previous initiatives, constitutional amendments, the courts, and other entities. Lawmakers simply don't have the power or leverage in California's system to make changes as they do in Wisconsin.
If you don't believe it, consider this fact. Walker and his fellow Republicans in the legislature were able to make big changes in Wisconsin with far less of a majority than Democrats enjoy in California's legislature.
But California isn't Wisconsin. Which -- if only in matters of governance -- is too bad.

The good news? There are lots of unique things happening, so it's a wonderful time to explore what's new in your backyard. At the newly renovated Westfield UTC, there are two places you'll want to add to your "must see" list. We wanted to see firsthand what the new changes looked like, so we turned it into an all-day adventure.
Our first stop was to indulge our hunger pangs, so we headed over to Seasons 52, a popular, new-to-San Diego restaurant concept that specializes in fresh, low-calorie options for lunch and dinner. The expansive menu changes four times a year and nothing is more than 475 calories, from the custom flatbreads to the mouth-watering entrees like the cedar plank roasted salmon and caramelized sea scallops. This restaurant is a real treat for people who appreciate flavorful foods but don't want to feel guilty afterward. One of our favorites was the organic salmon with fresh farmers market vegetables. The Sonoma goat cheese ravioli and the mesquite-grilled Piedmontese strip steak were also delightful. If you have a sweet tooth like us, you'll be happy to know that the 475-calorie rule also extends to its award-winning mini indulgence desserts, which come in almost any flavor you can think of, including key lime pie, carrot cake, pecan pie (our favorite!) and chocolate peanut butter mousse. The desserts are small in portion and served in a shot-size glass so they look harmless but beware — they are deliciously decadent and filling!
As for the restaurant's ambiance, we found it to be warm and inviting, casual but classy. The interior's earthy tones, rich-wood accents and soft lighting add to its unique appeal. We especially liked its private dining room, which is perfect for corporate groups looking for private space, and the outdoor dining area, which is charming with its urban fire tables and customized lounge seating. www.seasons52.com
With our appetites fully satisfied, what better way to round out the evening than to check out a movie at the brand-new ArcLight Cinemas? As longtime moviegoers, we thought we had seen it all. But this is truly unique and the type of experience everyone should have at least once, if not more. Unlike some theaters that are cramped and frenzied, ArcLight is all about comfort, catering to the moviegoer. Although customers can buy their tickets upon arrival, moviegoers are encouraged to buy and reserve their seat in advance, which eliminates the mad rush of waiting in line and rushing to save seats.
As a result, moviegoers did seem more relaxed and because they knew exactly where they were seated, there wasn't any awkwardness of trying to figure out which seats were still available. We actually did not buy our tickets to "Silver Linings Playbook" in advance but fortunately, we had a helpful staff member walk us through the process. When we finally entered the theater, we were impressed with the ample legroom, soft cushy seats, not to mention the large screen and crystal-clear sound system. The theater even had a new car smell to its shiny new interior.
ArcLight's 14 screens feature stadium seating, so there are no bad seats. Our theater seated less than 100 people, giving it an intimate feeling, with ushers on hand to guide guests to their seats. Viewers who get annoyed by excessive talking, texting and late arrivals disrupting their experience will be happy to know ArcLight has a very strict policy when it comes to disturbing the peace: they simply don't tolerate it.
Our recommendation? Become an ArcLight member so you can take advantage of the theater's loyalty program, which awards savings and points that can be redeemed for purchases in the sit down café, bar, gift shop or for tickets. www.arclightcinemas.com — Marc & Darlynne Menkin are the co-owners of Where You Want To Be Tours. Many of their tours and teambuilding scavenger hunts feature secret La Jolla areas. www.wheretours.com

When editor Mark Evan Chimsky asked me to write a 'Master Your Look' essay for the anthology 65 Things to Do When You Retire, 65 Notable Achievers on How to Make the Most of the Rest of Your Life (Sellers Publishing), I couldn't refuse.
Besides having the opportunity to share my senior style tips for a time in your life when coveting the latest it thing is not as relevant as revitalizing your most age-appropriate personal best, my essay would be in the book along such esteemed notables as my feminist idol Gloria Steinem, former President Jimmy Carter, Jane Fonda, John E. Nelson, (What Color Is Your Parachute?), and a host of other experts and achievers on how to make the most of the rest of your life.
I'm honored.
Notwithstanding that all royalties from book sales will be donated to nonprofit organizations dedicated to preventing and curing cancer.
I encourage you to pick up a copy of 65 Things to Do When You Retire even if you are not at that time in your life as it is always the right time to inspire. My essay…
Master Your Look
Some may think that fashion is wasted on the (very) young. Trends come and go. Taking risks is merely a part of any day. Money, well, more will come later, so why not spend away now?
Fashion is fun. It's frivolous and it's something that should not be taken too seriously or you will miss the nuance, the thrill, the change of it all.
But style, oh style, that mysterious combination of what works and what is magic on the wearer… what flatters as it shields and only shows you in your best and most effortless light of the perfection that is unique to you. That kind of style is something that comes with time, with experimentation, with understanding your body (and its changes) and your lifestyle.
It's your time to shine.
But just as you master your look, your life adjusts or your figure repositions itself. Then what? Are years of honing, years of perfecting are down the drain?
Hell, no.
Every modification can lead to a better, more fine-tuned, more vital version of you. For some that have lived a life within the confines of a professional dress code, it may mean that now is the time to finally take that fashion risk to discover the new, more stylish, sophisticated and even younger looking you. It's time to take the challenge to celebrate you in the purest form of your style — where you are in control, and most important where you don't look old.
Nothing saps the spirit more than looking dated, dreary, and dowdy. So many get carried away with sudden found freedom from dress codes that they resort to wild and crazy extremes for sudden self-expression.
Avoid the classic "mutton dressed as lamb" look by trying to pull off teenybopper styles in a sour effort to dress young. No matter how youthful you think you look, there's no greater slap of truth than bright daylight. Accept sophistication and tear yourself away from fads and overexposure.
Don't forget that style is more than just what you wear, but how you present your self as a whole. By now, you have evolved into the person you are and it's a matter of keeping up appearances to maintain your visual vitality. Style is what's realistic for you, your lifestyle, and for the shape that you are in today. At my Web site FocusOnStyle.com, I share my tips on how to master ageless and timeless can-do chic. Sit up, take notice, and be proud, but most important, take control of your chic style.
Never forget to moisturize your skin and condition your hair. It's seems so easy, almost second nature. Sadly, many instantly add years to their appearance by having lifeless hair and dull skin. The right moisturizer, anti-aging products, and regular deep hair conditioning are easy steps to help you look fresh and vital.
Avoid getting stuck in the same dated hairstyle that you had in your high school yearbook photo or one that is over-dyed and dry in an attempt to cover the gray. Look at some social media avatars of boomers for instant visual proof of what being trapped in a hair time warp looks like!
This is not the time to forgo makeup but to understand how a light touch can compensate for the loss of facial volume that comes with age. Apply a bit of blush to flush the cheeks and a tint of lipgloss; lightly define your brows, and use some cosmetic help to make your eyes sparkle so they don't look drained.
Avoid crazy makeup trends and experimenting with glitter, goop, and heavy-handedness that accentuates wrinkles. Keep makeup dewy and natural by highlighting your best features.
Keep the theatrics down and the sophistication up. If you were not one who could pull off being showy in your youth, it's probably not best time to start now. Looking effortless is the key to looking chic. Clean lines, well-executed silhouettes, and the best quality that you can afford in investment pieces will always look chic.
You have probably amassed a fantastic collection of clothes by now. Rethink how you wear what you already own to better suit your new life. Mix and match different combinations. Think outside of your comfort zone and shop your closet for new and different ways to wear what you already have.
When you do go shopping, stick to classic styles with some design details that aren't boring. You may want to save by buying very inexpensive clothing but avoid cheap and trendy items. Nothing beats a good sale to find the best for less.
Solids, particularly neutrals with a pop of either primary or muted color, provide a very sophisticated look for women of a certain age and don't come with a built-in style expiration date. Monochromatic separates with added texture for interest are best.
Prints, oh prints. I have no idea why the misses department is flooded with either garish or dipsy prints. Somewhere, there is an evil fashionista who thinks that women over 50 want to drown themselves in the most hideous prints, patterns, and embellishments imaginable. Resist the urge to succumb to fugly clothes that will age you.
Don't show too much but do strut what you have with style. After a certain age, you may still have a fantastic figure, toned legs, and a bountiful bustline. Just because you still got it doesn't mean it looks appropriate to bust it out all over. It's better to have clothes that graze the body instead of being clingy. Necklines that reveal a bit of skin are more flattering than those that overexpose.
When it comes to hemlines, err on the side of sophistication don't go too short. Use discretion in selecting silhouettes.
Don't try too hard. Trust your own sense of style. Kick back and remember, it's all about can-do chic!

Fit Futures necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 345 diseños de 59 diseñadores freelance.
Fit Futures
We are a company that is going to implement a new wave of sports in schools all over Australia, a programe that is all about lifestyle: healthy attitudes with an aproach to encourage parents and their kids to value an active lifestyle as part of an everyday routine. It must be accesable to kids of all sporting abilities. sport is no longer an 'effort' but a trend and 'everyones doing it'
The nuts and bolts of the company will be the running of sports coaching sessions in both Primary and Secondary schools (Junior and Secondary Schools). We will be running coaching sessions for all sports, from soccer/cricket/rugby/gynmastics/hockey/tennis etc.
We also run after school sports coaching clubs and run sports and activity holiday clubs for kids.
We are a company that is trying to develop a healthy lifestyle in children from an early age.
We are targeting schools, personal trainers, parents of kids, school kids of all ages. Government departments for grants etc.
It must be a design that not only appeals to the kids that are participating in the events but also something a employee of the company would be proud to wear,.
The name Fit Futures is the main focus.
We like the idea of kids playing different sports as silhouettes as part of the design, but not a necessity. See attached designs we have played around with. I have also attached a copy of some sport silhouettes I like.
I also like the simple idea from this company http://www.fitforsport.co.uk/ with the very simple kids forms involved in the logo.
I also like this companies Logo http://www.socioussports.co.uk/ but think the design is a little boring and looking for something a bit more trendy and contemporary.
The design must not be too busy, the text and graphic could somehow be entwined with each other, fewer colours-maybe 3. we like the combination of red white and turquoise but are open to other suggestions.
A design that will become an iconic symbol, recognised all over australia in schools.
The logo will be printed on all sorts of sports wear etc. People/kids should want to wear the logo therefore it must be trendy and up to date with kids fashion and current trends.
I also like the idea of making a pyramid out of the sporting silhouettes, but once again am very open to all ideas.
I look forward to seeing your designs.

Consider a system that uses DDD (as well: any system that uses an ORM). The point of any system realistically, in nearly every use case, will be to manipulate those domain objects. Otherwise there's no real effect or purpose.
Modifying an immutable object will cause it to generate a new record after the object is persisted which creates massive bloat in the datasource (unless you delete previous records after modifications).
I can see the benefit of using immutable objects, but in this sense, I can't ever see a useful case for using immutable objects. Is this wrong?

Minnesota, Canada to provide mutual emergency aid
Wisconsin joining compact to receive and provide aid during natural disasters or terrorist events
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Gov. Mark Dayton has signed a compact that will allow Minnesota and some Canadian provinces to request and provide mutual aid to each other in the event of emergencies.
The state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management says that while states and provinces can handle most emergencies, there are times when disasters require more resources. The compact makes it easier, and in some cases less expensive, to get aid when needed.
The compact covers natural disasters from floods and tornados to emergencies such as chemical spills or terrorist events.
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are also joining the compact, along with the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
There are similar cross-border agreements on the east and west coasts.

"I came into this life with humble beginnings – and I seek a humble ending. But what I look for along the way is to acquire a life worth living, a day worth getting out of bed for, a smile worth sharing, a hand worth holding. A place worth finding. I just want to look back at my time and regret only things I did do
– never something I didn't."
– 2014.
"The voice of God can be found amongst the highest mountains, and between the smallest grains of sand… if you only have the ears to hear it. The essence of a pilgrimage is to move, yet, at some point along the way, you realise you do not move at all ~ the pilgrimage moves you."
– 2016.
"I have looked in all places, behind every door and into the eyes of many worldly men. The only lasting thing I have found, of any value and perpetual comfort to my soul, is undoubted belief in God. I owe my life, and all its deeds, to He…"
– 2019.
"The world has many ways, and the eyes have many ways to see… to illuminate, and to blind. But once the eyes of the soul are opened, nothing remains covered. All things become clear as living water."
– 2020.
I started this little blog some years ago, to muse and reflect on my life and journey.
Never did I imagine all this. I will be forever thankful to all those who have been a part of this journey, both on the Road, and here, on this site.
Welcome to my story. A pilgrimage of Truth. A passage of Healing. A testimony of Faith.
This is my Global Pilgrimage ~ the story of my life, and the people who have become a part of my story along the way.
Ever looked at the night sky and seen the milky way with your bare eyes, heard the sounds of the deep jungle with your own ears, or left your shoes far behind as you ran through the hot desert barefoot? If you have, then you know that there is more to this life than we are lead to believe, that there is a deeper Truth to uncover… that there is more to this human race and the forces of our nature than the forces of man will ever want you to realise. Some of us realise this. Some of us take this gift of life and run with it. Deep down, in our soul, all of us were Born Free.
Do not let the Devil feast on your freedom.
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." – Matthew 7.7
This has been a journey both within and without. I have searched the world, I have search my soul. It hasn't always been easy or comforting. I have found many things, tested my waters with oil ~ looked hard within for Truth of my making, through all its pain, smoke and mirrors. Artists are witnesses to Creation, not the makers. I have learnt that knowing thyself is key to being a pure vessel, to being as open and forgiving as possible… ~ "When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realise that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
– Jesus Christ.
I am not these deeds or these illusions. This journey is my past and I do not belong to it, as indeed I do not belong to my future. This part of my life has been a voyage of healing and a seeking of Truth. I am not the power behind anything you see. There is only One power in the Creation. I am merely a man of faith, who believes and sees the goodness in all he can, who is grateful for this gift of life granted by the Father. I am someone with an intense passion for Humanity, and Creation… for voyage, and the metamorphosis of travel. Yet more than I am, I am not. For everyday I am learning… and everyday I am changing. Forever the Novice.
My journey to God has been long and winding, and I will always be thankful for the time I have been given to seek and find answers for myself. I walk… and God creates a pathway. True faith is alive, lives and breathes, and leaves its mark on all it touches. It does not need to be justified or even testified; Living Faith is evidence of itself. It is more than to see, it is more than to believe. It is to know…
Follow the Journey.
And take your own.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith says defensive end John Abraham and defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux will be listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC title game against San Francisco.
Abraham and Babineaux were limited in practice on Friday, but both are expected to start when Atlanta (14-3) hosts the 49ers (12-4-1).
Abraham has been bothered by a sprained left ankle but says he will be ready to play. He is the NFL's active sacks leader with 122 in his 13-year career. Abraham led the Falcons with 10 sacks and finished the regular season with seven pass breakups.
Babineaux, who has a sore shoulder, finished the regular season with 3.5 sacks, five pass breakups, and one interception.
Strong safety William Moore (hand) and cornerback Christopher Owens (hamstring) are listed as probable.

#1 Vet Faces Lawsuit For Flying American Flag

CLERMONT, Fla. -- A Central Florida war veteran faces a lawsuit for flying the American flag on a pole in his front yard.
But state law said anyone can display a flag in a "respectful manner" as long as it is removable.
"I don't understand why it would bring down the values of our homes by flying the American flag from a pole in my front yard," homeowner Jimmie Watkins said.
Watkins and his wife, Ria, received a final notice from the Sussex homeowners' association in Clermont that they must remove the flag or face legal action.
The former retired U.S. Navy communications officer said he refuses to back down for the American flag.
"Our people are serving today to give us freedom to do as we like here within the law of America," Watkins said. "It is my right to fly my flag from my pole and until a court of law tells me to haul that down, I will not haul it down. I think about all of the people who have served our nation and all of the lives that it's cost and all of the friends that I've lost."
The homeowner's association is not commenting about their rules.
Good for him for not backing down. Standards are one thing in a community, I live in an area with a "covenant" too, but flying the flag is not the same as raising pigs or having a dog kennell.Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound - Unknown

Gov. Crist Signs Bill Allowing American Flags To Be Flown In Front Yards
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. -- A bill signed by Governor Charlie Crist is ending a fight between a Clermont homeowner who wants to fly the American flag and his neighborhood association.
Jimmie Watkins served more than 20 years in the U.S. Navy. He had been ordered to remove a flagpole from his front yard by the Sussex at Kings Ridge neighborhood association.
The new law signed by the governor would allow the flagpoles and specific official U.S. flags, no matter what the homeowners' association rules are.
"There's really no one in America that tells me I can't do that. They might say that, but I'm not listening," said Watkins.
The association would not comment on the dispute, but said that since the governor signed the bill the argument is over. The new law takes effect on July 1.

starbits necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 11 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
National Night Out Superstore - nnosuperstore.com
The purpose of the web page is to sell branded products. Every year the branding changes and we need a new look for the new year. See our new logo for the "personality" we are trying to get across. The winning design will be the one which best integrates the new logo with the new page design. Since the new logo is on every product, it must be large enough to be clearly visible in your design, but the goal of the site is to have people buy items.
Police departments and other community organizations, most of whom are familiar with the site from prior years, and simply want ease of use.
The branded products need to be the main focus of the site. They are generated from a database and need to be in a grid, so the program can display them automatically. Most items will be the same as those shown on the present site, http://www.nnosuperstore.com. They will of course have the new logo on them, but item images are not available at this time, only the new logo is available (see the attached files). You may use images from the current site if you want to show individual items, or you may simply use blank boxes if you prefer.
Allow a spot for one "featured item" (which item it will be is unknown at this time).
You are to design one page only (the home page, with all the items). There must be a "buy now" button for each item, and buttons for "Ordering info" "View Cart" and "Checkout". You must tell me what action (color change, highlighting, or whatever) is to take place "on hover", when the mouse is over an item.
The winning design must be provided in a form readable by GIMP. GIMP can read jpg, png, gif, and most photoshop files.

A SUBGRID-SCALE MODEL FOR LARGE-EDDY SIMULATION BASED ON THE PHYSICS OF INTERSCALE ENERGY TRANSFER IN TURBULENCE by Brian Wayne Anderson A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Ful llment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (AEROSPACE ENGINEERING) May 2012 Copyright 2012 Brian Wayne Anderson

|In large-eddy simulation (LES) various subgrid-scale models have been proposed, all of which attempt to account for the unknown effects of the unresolved scales of turbulence on the resolved flow-field. The scale-similarity model is one such model, which is formulated using a secondary filter applied to components of the resolved velocity and its products. The scale-similarity model is based on the assumption that the velocities associated with neighboring scales in the flow produce turbulent stresses that are similar in character. The model uses an expression that weights the scales just below the LES cutoff in its approximation of the stresses of the unresolved scales. It is well-known, however, that the similarity model fails to accurately predict some of the most fundamental quantities in turbulent flows, perhaps the most important being the global energy transfer and the associated subgrid-scale dissipation. In previous research, additional dissipative terms have been added to the similarity model to improve the model's performance. ❧ In the present research, considerations of interscale energy transfer have been used to identify the deficiencies of the energy transfer role of the similarity model, specifically its inadequate removal of terms contributing energy to the smallest scales and its duplication of terms producing effects in the largest scales. These considerations are then used in the development of a new model, which shows more favorable characteristics of energy transfer. In this approach, partial nonlinear terms are used to decompose the nonlinear transfer present in LES and to formulate an expression capable of removing small-scale production terms depositing energy near the LES cutoff. The proposed model is formulated in the same vein as the scale-similarity model, consisting of test-filtered velocities and their products, but the new interscale transfer model offers improvements in its predictions of mean flow quantities and the global energy flux from the resolved to subgrid scales. The current research demonstrates that by implementing this model in a posteriori LES testing of wall-bounded flows, improved LES predictions are possible without the need for additional terms to augment subgrid-scale energy dissipation.

Age: 21
Why He's Here: .333/.355/.667 (10-for-30), 4 2B, 2 HR, 5 R, 7 RBIs, 0 BB, 5 SO, 1 HBP
The Scoop: Let's start with the good. After struggling mightily in his first pro season last year with Double-A Birmingham, Viciedo is batting .294/.325/.523 with nine home runs in 40 Triple-A games. He's been a masher at home, benefiting from a hitter-friendly park in Charlotte to the tune of .327/.383/.691, and he's crushed lefthanded pitching. A defensive liability last year at third base, Viciedo has moved to first base and made just one error. Yet there are still reasons to be skeptical. Viciedo has drawn just four walks all season, and away from Charlotte he's hit .276/.290/.429. The power is very real, but Viciedo will have to do a better job recognizing offspeed pitches and working the count if he's going to be able to make his good start sustainable.

Download Automatic Fix
It seems that a recent Windows Update (KB3086255, September 2015) that's been pushed through for 7 and 8/8.1 is causing problems when trying to run older games in the series. This is because the update disables the service for the secdrv.sys driver, due to potential security risks. The problem is, any disc-based games that utilise certain types of anti-piracy copy protection (eg SecuRom, SafeDisc) will no longer run, and will display an error asking the user to "Please login with administrator privileges and try again":
A list of problematic games has been posted here. The affected games relevant to our community are:
- NBA Live 2004 (not listed there, but I can confirm that it suffers from the same issue)
- NBA Live 2003
- NBA Live 2001
- NBA Live 2000
Fortunately, there are a couple of workarounds.
1. Run those games in a virtual machine, using Windows 98/2000/XP
If you've got an old disc for Windows 98, 2000, or XP lying around, you can use WMWare to set up a virtual machine. Generally speaking, this is a good way of getting older Windows based games to work, though it does require a bit of computer know-how (and a legal copy of Windows). I'd definitely recommend setting this up if you have the know-how (or have a friend/family member that does) and enjoy retro gaming.
2. Reactivate the secdrv.sys service
This one also requires a little know-how, but it's a lot quicker to do than setting up a virtual machine. If you're not that savvy with computers though, I'd recommend getting someone who is to do it for you. The steps are outlined here on Microsoft Support: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3086255
...and here on My Online Security: http://myonlinesecurity.co.uk/september ... any-games/
Type the following commands at an elevated command prompt. You should press Enter after you type each command.
To disable the driver's service, type the following command:
- Code: Select all
sc config secdrv start= disabled
To set the driver's service to manual, type the following command:
- Code: Select all
sc config secdrv start= demand
To enable the driver's service (and to set it to automatic), type the following command:
- Code: Select all
sc config secdrv start=auto
To manually start the driver's service, type the following command:
- Code: Select all
sc start secdrv
To manually stop the driver's service, type the following command:
- Code: Select all
sc stop secdrv
Use the sc config secdrv start= demand and sc config secdrv start= disabled commands, for an easy on/off toggle. To run an elevated command prompt, type CMD in the Search bar, right click the CMD program that it finds, and Run as administrator.
Note that there's also a potential security risk here (the update disabled the secdrv.sys driver for a reason, after all), so do this at your own risk! If you're unsure of how to run these commands yourself, try these batch files that automate the process. Please note that I take no responsibility for any damage that may be caused by using this method. If in doubt, look into setting up a virtual machine.
A note about cracks/No-CD patches
To pre-empt another suggestion that may be thrown out there: discussing cracks/No-CD patches is strictly against the rules in the NLSC Forum, and we won't provide any help or support for them. Please consider this fair warning of our zero tolerance policy regarding those discussions; barring the discovery of another legitimate workaround, the two solutions posted above are the only ones that may be discussed here.

The world's ultrawealthy population last year hit a record 119,235 individuals with a combined net worth of $27.8 trillion, according to new report from Wealth-X and UBS.
The report identified 2,170 billionaires in this population with a total net worth of $6.5 trillion, or 23% of the world's ultrahigh-net-worth wealth.
It noted that the 88% of the world's wealthiest individuals were men and 65% created their own wealth.
The report was based on a survey of 12 countries.
North America and Europe drove growth in the last 12 months, adding some 10,000 individuals for a total increase in wealth of $1.5 trillion.
Because of economic slowdown in the emerging markets, the report said, Brazil and China experienced declines in ultrawealthy population and wealth.
The report forecast that the world's ultrawealthy population would grow by 4% over the next five years, and average annual wealth would increase by 5.4%.
The five-year forecast for change in ultra-rich population and wealth by regions:
- North America: 3.9% and 5%
- Europe: 2.3% and 3.7%
- Asia: 5.9% and 8.5%
- Latin America: 4.6% and 5.8%
- Middle East: 5.6% and 3%
- Oceania: 3.6% and 1.9%
- Africa: 6.5% and 5.1%
The report predicted that Asia's ultrawealthy population and wealth would surpass that of Europe by 2021 and 2017, respectively.
It will take Asia longer to eclipse North America. It is expected to have a larger ultra-rich population by 2032, and greater total high-net-worth wealth by 2024.

From beans to blueberry yogurt and breakfast cereals, many foods contain health-promoting nutrients and components. Functional foods provide benefits beyond basic nutrition.
From beans to blueberry yogurt and breakfast cereals, many foods contain health-promoting nutrients and components. Functional foods provide benefits beyond basic nutrition.
For more on functional foods, see foodinsight.org>>
and the UF Food, Family, Youth and Commmunity Services site>>
But how much of the �beyond basic nutrition� do we understand? The International Food Information Council's most recent Functional Foods Consumer Survey was designed to answer this question.
Surveyed participants believe they have general nutrition knowledge; most consumers feel relatively confident they do. Those younger than 49 years old consider themselves extremely knowledgeable about nutrition.
Despite such confidence in nutrition knowledge, most survey respondents believe they fall short of meeting "all or nearly all" of their nutrient needs.
For some nutrients, consumers perceive their intakes are adequate when, actually, they are not. For nutrients such as vitamin D, potassium and fiber, the discrepancy between perception and reality is stark. But for nutrients such as vitamin C and calcium, consumers� perceptions are on target.
The high percentage of consumers meeting their needs for B vitamins is a testament to the value of functional foods, especially fortified foods. Breads, rice and cereals � often fortified with B vitamins � may help consumers meet their B vitamin needs, without the consumer realizing it.
Understanding functional foods and their benefits can motivate us to improve our daily diet.
And it can help us determine the healthiest foods to put on our plate.

In 1925, Bob Gibson served barbecue from a makeshift table made of oak planks nailed to a large sycamore tree in his backyard. Fresh out of his hand-dug pit came smoke and smells that drew people from miles away. With a 6' 4" frame and weighing close to 300 pounds, his stature and charismatic personality made him a well know figure in the area. His "never met a stranger" attitude endeared him to everyone he came across, and to one and all he was known as Big Bob.
Big Bob Gibson started a family barbecue restaurant tradition that has lasted has lasted over 80 years and 4 generations. During these years our family has developed a passion for Real BBQ and the unique culture that surrounds it. This devotion is what has made us successful at our restaurants, in our competition cooking, and with our line of Championship Sauces. We hope you will be able to join our family and share in our continued journey to offer only the best barbecue in the world to our customers.
Below is a questionnaire that is always the initial step in doing any franchise. Please keep in mind that the figures discussed in this document are based on purchasing property and ownership of the building. Building lease would obviously affect the cost dramatically. This is also figured on a full service restaurant with wait staff as opposed to fast casual restaurant which would reduce the cost further. Our team can analyze both types of restaurants and make a mutual decision on the best type to pursue based on location and/or preexisting building layout.
We are excited about our future with you!
