How to debug nova-dhcpbridge failing to propagate lease information?
I have two compute nodes, nova network and a flatDHCP model. When a node instantiates an instance it allocates an IP address for the instance, but nova-dhcpbridge does not appear to propagate details of that lease to the other Compute node. This means that DNS lookups for instances on 'the other node' fail...
Am I correct in thinking that the whole purpose of dhcpbridge is to cause the other nodes to notice instances through the
/var/lib/nova/networks/nova-br100.hosts file?
Try as I may, I've been unable to understand how to cause the dhcpbridge script to write debug entries into a log. I presume that there should also be traffic via rabbitmq that I can monitor somehow.
Some clues as to what might be failing would be appreciated, as too would some advice on how to debug this issue

Supporting the next generation of players and fans.
Finding and developing the best players requires the league to maintain a rich talent pipeline to produce its next generation of stars. But the NFL knows that developing talent is about more than creating great football players — it's about creating great people. That's why the league supports programs like the Rookie Transition Program that provide young players with the resources and skills to help them achieve success in life, no matter where their path may lead.
Current and former professional players often say they first fell in love with football when they were kids. The joy that comes from playing Pop Warner or participating in a pickup game inspires young players to pursue organized football — through middle school, high school and college.
"The spirit, the will to win, and the will to exceed are the things that endure. These qualities are so much more important than the events that occur."
Vince Lombardi
The NFL invests in and supports programs that foster early and lasting interest in the game, instilling respect for its fundamental values: teamwork, commitment and leadership, among others. The league's programs develop not just the next generation of football players and athletes, but also successful and capable young adults.
Not all players make it to the pros, so the NFL looks for ways that football can be a catalyst for greater personal development. It's about more than just building the next generation of gridiron stars; it's about building the next generation of great leaders — on and off the field.
When players arrive at college, they face new challenges in balancing the demands of their sport while pursuing their higher education. Mastering those demands helps shape student-athletes and prepares them for life after school. That's why the NFL works closely with the NCAA through the College Outreach program and the College Advisory Committee to help players capitalize on both the athletic and academic opportunities available to them, ensuring that they're set up to succeed in college and beyond.

Alaska fishing boat captain jumps into cold water to save crew
JUNEAU, Alaska -- A fishing boat captain jumped into cold, choppy waters to save two of his crew members after their vessel capsized off the Alaska coast.
Coast Guard video of one of the rescues shows the captain in an orange life vest swimming to a man struggling to stay afloat and pulling him to an awaiting boat.
The agency said the captain of the Grayling leapt into 47-degree water during Monday's ordeal near Raspberry Island, which is about 30 miles west of the Coast Guard station at Kodiak and about 255 miles southwest of Anchorage.
A Coast Guard aircrew diverted from a training flight and saw the rescue. Seeing the man jump into the water without hesitation was incredible, said Lt. Kevin Riley, a pilot.
"It is a testament to how tough those fishermen are and how far they will go to help their fellow Alaskans," Riley said in a news release.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Bill Colclough said Tuesday that the captain administered CPR to one of the crew members, who was evacuated for medical treatment. The man survived, he said.
A fourth crew member was rescued by another boat.
The capsized boat had a skiff, which is used as part of fishing operations. Colclough said the other man rescued by the captain was able to get aboard the skiff and assist the captain.
The cause of the capsizing was not immediately known. There were 17 mph winds and 5-foot seas at the time.
Names of the crew members were not released.

All entries will be judged using the following factors:
- Creativity: Did the IT pro use an especially creative or ingenious way to solve his/her IT issue?
- Cost-savings: Using third-party products and services is acceptable, but entries that essentially say "I had a problem and purchasing product X saved it" are discouraged.
- Best use of available and emerging technology: Using available products and tools to solve the problem is a big plus, as is adopting new solutions that have operational and cost-saving benefits.
- Business value: The best IT solutions are ones that also advance the broader goals of the company or organization the IT pro is employed by. Solutions that increased operational efficiency *and* saved the company money are encouraged.
An online form to process submissions will be posted on Wednesday, June 1, and will remain open for submissions until Wednesday, June 30.

Check Availability!
Spaces Fill Up Fast.
You're sure to enjoy Ontario smallmouth bass fishing as Lake of the Woods! Bass season is open all year round: however, it is catch-and-release only during the month of June.
Pound for pound the gamest fighter to be found, smallmouth bass have thrived in Ontario's north woods lakes and are readily available to anglers. This species is a real thrill for the light-tackle enthusiast and an excellent fish for catch-and-release fishing, as they have no teeth to tackle with.
Check availability for the remaining 2018 season.
Tips For Fishing Smallmouth Bass in the Spring
Where you'll find them:
- Smallmouth bass love rock and spend more than ninety percent of their time on this hard structure.
- Post-spawn smallies will remain close to shallow rocky areas of the lake until the temperature of the water warms considerably.
- Islands, points and shoals are the three preferred spots to begin your smallmouth search, starting each area up shallow and moving deeper until you connect with fish.
Spring Bait & Baiting Tips
- Topwater plugs, crankbaits and jigs are the preferred baits early in the season
- "matching the hatch" by using crayfish coloured is a sure-bet to entice fish into the boat.
Catching Smallmouth Bass In The Summer
Summer fishing can often be a "hit and miss" attempt due to whereabouts of the fish during this time.
- Early morning and evening periods will usually find fish in shallow water aggressively feeding - this is where topwaters really excel and will lead to heart-stopping explosions on the surface.
- Daytime smallies will retreat to the safety of deeper water and will relate to depths from six to thirty-feet deep. The one thing they will relate to is having a dependable fish finder on board will become your underwater eyes.
- Look for humps, shelves and drop offs and work a jig over these underwater magnets.
- Due to the schooling nature of the smallmouth bass, once one is caught, there are sure to be more to come.
Fall Smallmouth Bass Fishing
The fall time means one thing to a bass angler - BIG smallies. Fish at this time of year gorge themselves on crayfish and minnows in anticipation of the cold winter months. Searching for these hungry fish is the key to catching them is concentrating on some of the spots you had success on earlier in the season will help you unlock the location factor.
- Points, saddles and shoals will hold smallies at this time of the year, however, the school will be situated farther from shore and in deeper water in comparison to their summer counterparts.
- Begin your search by finding water in the 20-foot depth and continue working until you hit 35 feet. Most of your fall fish will relate to water this deep and once you catch some, the remainder of the lakes' fish will be holding at this magical depth.
Fall Bait
Rattle traps, cranks and jigs are the artillery for the fall, using a marker buoy to stay with the school and at the optimum depth will increase your chances of connecting.
Best Fishing Methods to Catch Smallmouth Bass:
- Casting or fly fishing using 4 – 6 pound test line
Other Recommended Tackle:
- Mepps 1, 2 or 3 with bucktail
- Number 7 Rapala
- Small crankbait
- Jitterbug
- Mister Twister
- Artificial night crawler
- Small Daredevle
- Rebel crawfish

Earth > Europe > Western Europe > France > Champagne-Ardenne > Reims
Reims is a city in Champagne-Ardenne, France, to the east of Paris.
Hitchhiking out
<map lat="49.24575077976077" lng="4.0322055816651705" zoom="12" view="0" float="right" />
Towards all directions
The three-, later two-lane road passing right in front of the train station (Gare SNCF) called Boulevard Louis Roederer leads directly onto A4 in both directions: Paris in the east, Metz/Strasbourg/Germany in the west. Heading down towards the motorway there is a traffic light switching very frequently, where Rue Bir Hakeim comes in from the lefthand side. Almost every car leaving Reims comes along here, so there is a very high density of cars passing by and stopping at the red light. You cannot directly ask people, but with a sign and a charming smile, there is a good chance of getting picked up - I got a ride to Paris in 15 minutes.
Going west (Paris)
The place is the highway ramp going on the A4 highway towards the west, at the exit number 22 called Tinqueux. First you will need to get to Tinqueux, a suburb of Reims. Best is to take bus no. 8 towards Thillois and get off at the stop called Millésime, the first stop after the bus passes above the highway. (For timetables and other ways to get there, you can check the website of Citura, the local public transport company.) From the stop it is about 600 m of walking. Start walking back to where the bus came from, out of the shopping zone on rue des Ormisseaux, back to the big road. You arrive to a huge roundabout. From here, turn right and follow the blue signs to A4, Paris until the next roundabout, from where the ramp goes on the highway. There is a lot of traffic and no pedestrian sideways, so be careful to cross the road and the roundabout. On the ramp, there is a nice spot to stop for the cars.
Going east (Metz, Strasbourg, Lyon, Germany)
Get a bus or a lift to the 'voie verte' which is near some industrial zones in the Eastern part of the city. Here, it takes about 15 minutes to walk up the 'l'auoroute de l'est' for the toll booth (peage). Be careful to walk on the grass behind the motorway barrier. At the toll booth, I waited 10 minutes for a lift. I kept asking drivers that were stopping where they were going with my voice and sign. Good luck/ Bonne Chance!
4/9/2010 JK added: I caught buses B and S across town to Cormontreuil (1 ticket, 1.20 euros) but the drop off point was still quite a way from the peage mentioned above, bus T might bring you a bit closer but you'll still have up to half an hour to walk. But having finally got there, I too got a lift within minutes, not more than 10 minutes.
10/09/2011 Tbandrini added: The peage is definetelly the way to go. Got a lift after 5 minutes.

A new project in Milton Keynes aims to help local communities identify potential energy savings.
The Community Action Platform for Energy (CAPE) makes use of mapping and satellite data to provide targeted information on energy emissions and the characteristics of buildings and neighbourhoods, according to UKAuthority.
This will show residents, community groups, landlords and local businesses where there is the potential to make savings from different technologies, together with a ready-to-use tool that can be used to jump-start and scale-up energy projects.
Milton Keynes Council has launched a series of pilots, with a wider rollout across the city and in other cities anticipated later this year.
Jeremy Draper, energy manager at Milton Keynes Council, told UKAuthority that the first pilot showed people how to use CAPE to understand how they could save energy. Initially the focus was on low energy lightbulbs, but the platform has potential for several other technologies, he said.
For example, it could be used to provide data on the location and orientation of buildings to assess their suitability for solar panels. Communities could get together and go to suppliers as a group, or suppliers could identify the potential in a specific neighbourhood and approach residents with an offer.
The platform could also demonstrate the potential of technologies such as ground source heat pumps and wall insulation.
CAPE was developed by Indian IT services company Tech Mahindra in a collaboration with SAP. Funded by Innovate UK, the other partners in the project include Milton Keynes Council, the Open University and the Satellite Applications Catapult.
Mohit Mokhija, product development manager at Tech Mahindra, explained that the platform was created for local authorities, suppliers and the public to better manage energy saving projects.
"With the help of the portal you can examine the parameters of a project," he told UKAuthority. "For example, if you want to make changes in a building it can show the effects.
"It can show the intensity of heat coming from buildings, identify those that are suitable for solar generation, and provide multiple presentations of details such as the surrounding trees and slope of the roof.
"It helps to identify areas for likely savings without going to the site."

The Fifth Annual Los Angeles Neurofibromatosis Walk will take place at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 1st at Westchester Park in honor of nine-year-old Blake Robinson.
Blake was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (NF) at the age of 18 months when doctors found a tumor on the optic nerve in his brain. Over the past two and a half years he has undergone four brain surgeries and chemotherapy. Neurofibromatosis is a progressive disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and affects more than one in every 3,000 children born in the United States.
Blake's parents say they are working with the Children's Tumor Foundation to raise funds and awareness for neurofibromatosis research.
"Since there is no known cure or treatment for this disorder, it is all a guessing game as to what will work," said Kim Robinson, Blake's mother. "There is nothing more our family wants in life than to find a cure for neurofibromatosis, so we're taking action and asking others to join us in this cause."
Last year more than 250 people participated in the walk, which raised more than $60,000. The walk committee is currently looking for corporate sponsors for the event to help raise more money this year.

Palm Beach County could push a public hearing on a proposed sales tax hike to May 3, two weeks later than commissioners had expected to take up the issue.
Cities would get a portion of the $2.7 billion over 10 years the tax increase is expected to generate. Because the money would also be shared with the Palm Beach County School District, elected officials representing a majority of city residents would have to approve the split.
County Administrator Verdenia Baker said that threshold will be reached if West Palm Beach approves the plan tonight and if Wellington backs it on Tuesday. In that scenario, Baker said it is possible initial plans for an April 19 public hearing on the sales tax could go forward.
But if either of those cities reject the plan, more time would be needed to reach the 50 percent plus one threshold that would clear the way for a public hearing. Delray Beach is expected to consider the plan on April 19, with Riviera Beach taking it up on April 20.

I ought not get into the gritty nitties of the abstract distant sympathy I have for child molesters and their condition. It's better that I let an expert at addressing such sensitive topics with humor, Louis CK, do some explaining for me. If we're to believe, at all, the rehabilitative qualities of prison against recidivism, things like lists socially ostracizing these people for their entire lives is probably not a healthy way to go about things. I mean, kidnappers and literal murderers of children don't appear on lists, and it is my understanding that those people also pose a danger to kids.
As much as I love the leisurely conversational tone it evokes, it's probably not best practice to drink from a coffee mug in a police cruiser. Or any car really, but comparatively, police cars must be more susceptible to the swerving and flipping and crashing and the what have you that you often see in the moving pictures. About the moving police vehicles.

There is nothing that could have prepared any of us for the DeVaStATiOn that resulted from Hurricane Sandy blowing through the Jersey Shore. My children are the 4th generation of family spending summers on Chadwick Beach so seeing homes that have been in the backdrop of photographs with my grandparents tossed on their sides and nearly unrecognizable was heartbreaking. Those of you who follow our blog know how much the beach means to my family. From my seaglass collection to finding special shells with my children to make wreaths or to just paint for fun, Chadwick Beach has been our own little paradise right here in our own backyard. Chadwick Beach is on a barrier island that rests between the Atlantic Ocean and the bay. During the storm the water from the bay and the ocean met causing extensive flooding. Our family home was filled with a foot and a half of water in the first floor, but thankfully it is still standing. Others were not so lucky. Neighborhoods of houses were completely washed away into the Atlantic Ocean. Another beach suffered a tremendous loss when gas lines exploded and blocks of houses burned to the ground.
Back home we lost power from the storm for six days and lived on a generator that we used conservatively because of a major gas shortage in the state of New Jersey. My brother-in-law waited on a line for four hours in the middle of the night to fill up his car and some gas cans to keep his own generator running. It was a very scary week for all of us and at the same time we were trying to find out any information we could about the shore house. Thankfully my parents had full power fifteen minutes away and we were able to drive over there during the day to watch the news, stay warm, and let the kids play in some normalcy.
Now that the power has been restored, the gas lines are back to normal, and we look forward to rebuilding our Jersey Shore back to its original beauty I am trying not to focus on what was lost. The hurricane may have washed away many of the buildings and landmarks that were symbols of our shore, but nothing can take away our MeMoRiEs. Let's be thankful for what we have, and not ever for a second take anything for granted, it might not be there tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebrating
all that you have to be ThAnKfUl for!

Some question whether Medicare should cover surgery for droopy eyelids
The number of Medicare patients going under the knife to fix droopy eyelids has skyrocketed and so has the cost to you.
Tens of millions of dollars and still climbing.
But not everyone sees eye-to-eye on whether taxpayers should fund every single procedure.
Last year, Chalmette businessman Al Tinney set his sights on improved vision.
"Just sitting down in bed looking at television or looking at something at night, it would be if I do like this, I wouldn't be able to see the rest of whatever was going on up there," said Tinney.
The 77-year-old gun enthusiast had trouble seeing because of heavy folds of skin on his eyelids, so he went to see a specialist Dr. Kevin Kirschner.
"A lot of patients come in and say my mom or my dad had this, or my mom and dad needed this surgery. So certainly there is a little bit of a genetic component to that, but as we get older the collagen in the skin starts to break down and certainly gravity starts to work on us too," Kirschner said.
Kirschner specializes in eyelid lifts or blepharoplasty.
With 200 procedures a year, it's the bulk of his practice.
"Medicare covers this procedure but most insurance carriers do as well. However there are certain requirements that we look at when evaluating patients for these procedures," said Kirschner.
Private insurance companies require Kirschner and other doctors to submit for authorization of the procedure. They evaluate the medical benefits before giving the OK, but that's not how it works with Medicare, which Kirchner explains has no pre-authorization requirement for eyelid lifts.
He makes every candidate undergo a comprehensive eye exam, a visual field test and submit to photographs, and he says he turns patients away.
It's most important to rule in who's right for the surgery and rule out who's wrong for the surgery," Kirschner said.
"I took the test, and he said, 'You're in good shape. You're a good candidate.'"
On average, the surgery costs about $3,000. Tinney paid just $50, because he's enrolled in Medicare.
"I'm glad I done it," he said.
Last year, the Center for Public Integrity raised concerns about the way the procedures were being handled from 2001 to 2011. The report notes eyelid lifts paid for by Medicare more than tripled. 136,000 people now get the procedure annually with an $80 million taxpayer price tag.
"It's breathtaking that you can go from $20 million to $80 million in a 10-year period. That's an amazing amount of taxpayer dollars," said State Rep. Cameron Henry.
Henry is one of the more conservative members of the Louisiana Legislature, and he's been a watchdog when it comes to any kind of government spending that may be under-regulated. Henry understands there is a medical need for the procedure, but when nationwide statistics show some doctors performing thousands of eyelid lifts per year, he feels more monitoring is needed.
"You just have to make sure the people who need it are getting the surgery and the people that don't need it are not getting the surgery. That's it. It's just making sure nobody is taking advantage of the system. It seems like some doctors at 2,200 surgeries in a year have found a loophole and are taking advantage of the system, and that penalizes everyone," Henry said.
WDSU reached out to the government agency, and they issued the following statement:
"The Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services takes seriously allegations of any abuse of Medicare benefits, and we have in place a series of tools to spot and stop fraud. We believe these tools, including sophisticated data analytics and stronger enrollment and screening requirements for health care providers, made possible by provisions of the affordable care act, will protect the Medicare trust fund."
Lawmakers say with Medicare on life support and set to go bankrupt in just over 10 years, reforms can't happen fast enough.
"If this continues, eventually you run out of money, and that's kind of where we're headed," said Henry.
These eyelid surgeries are performed all over the country, yet according to the center for public integrity, 11 of the 20 highest billers in 2008 were in Florida, a haven for seniors and also a place under the microscope for questionable Medicare billing.
This follows a trend in terms of the use of Medicare. In 2007, 925,000 doctors billed Medicare for their services.
In 2011, that number jumped to 1.25 million.

Suzuki Motor Corporation has decided to pull out of the 2009 FIA World Rally Championship after citing the global financial crisis affecting sales severely. The pullout announcement came, 10 days after Honda, another major Japanese car manufacturer, retired its Formula One team next year.
Suzuki said in a statement: "In responding to the contraction of the automotive sales caused by recent global economic turmoil, Suzuki has been promptly taking possible countermeasures."
"To secure its own business environment for tomorrow, the organization reviews every aspect of the operations and decided to focus on the core business functions such as the manufacturing system, environment technologies, and development of new-generation powertrains. As a result, Suzuki concluded to suspend the WRC activities from 2009."
Suzuki had entered two SX4 WRCs in the 2008 WRC and finished fifth of six teams in the constructors championship. Suzuki were 12th and 13th in the standings. Honda pulled out of F1 on Dec 5, a day after announcing job cuts in Britain and Japan, as well as reducing its annual production of consumer cars.

|Glaucoma isn't one disease. Instead, it's a group of diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve. In most cases, this damage is the result of increased pressure within your eye. As the optic nerve deteriorates, the patient gradually loses the ability to see to the side (peripheral vision). With time your central vision may begin to decrease as well. If Glaucoma isn't treated, it eventually may lead to total blindness.
In fact, Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness. That's because Glaucoma often gives no warning sign until permanent damage has already occurred. In most cases the onset is so gradual you're not aware you've lost some of your peripheral vision.There are several types of Glaucoma, including primary open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, congenital glaucoma and secondary glaucoma. Primary open-angle glaucoma develops slowly and painlessly when normal eye fluid known as aqueous humor doesn't drain properly, causing pressure to build up within your eye. It accounts for 60 percent to 70 percent of all Glaucoma cases.About 10 percent of people with Glaucoma have angle-closure glaucoma, which occurs suddenly and often causes dramatic symptoms. This type of Glaucoma is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment. A much smaller number of people have congenital glaucoma, which is present at birth, or secondary glaucoma, which results from trauma, chronic steroid use or disease.
Still, the news about Glaucoma is encouraging. When it's detected and treated early, Glaucoma need not cause blindness or even severe vision loss for most people.Signs and Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of Glaucoma vary, depending on the type of Glaucoma.Primary open-angle glaucoma
Primary open-angle glaucoma often goes undetected for years. Pressure within the eye increases gradually, with no early warning signs. But eventually, you lose more and more of your side vision until only a narrow section of your visual field remains clear. This type of Glaucoma tends to affect both eyes, although you may have symptoms in just one eye first. In addition to reduced peripheral vision, the signs and symptoms of primary open angle glaucoma may include:
Angle-closure glaucoma
Secondary glaucoma
The internal structures of your eye are nourished by a clear fluid called the aqueous humor. This fluid circulates from behind your iris through the dark opening in the center of your eye (pupil) and into the space between your iris and your cornea. The aqueous humor not only nourishes your eyes but also exerts a constant pressure (intraocular pressure, or IOP) that helps maintain your eyes' shape.
Healthy eyes constantly produce aqueous humor. To keep from building up in the eye, the fluid drains primarily through what is called the trabecular meshwork. This drainage occurs in a "drainage angle" located at the point where your iris and cornea meet. From here, the excess fluid flows into a channel (Schlemm's canal), and then into a system of small veins on the outside of your eye.
Primary open-angle glaucoma
In some people the narrow drainage angle may simply be a structural problem. In others it may be the result of aging. Generally, as you age the lens in each eye gradually becomes larger, pushing your iris forward and narrowing the angle between your iris and cornea.
Secondary glaucoma
Risk Factors
When To Seek Medical Advice
Primary open-angle glaucoma gives few warning signs until permanent damage has already occurred. That's why regular eye exams are the key to detecting glaucoma early enough for successful treatment. It's best to have routine eye checkups every 2 to 4 years after age 40 and every 1 to 2 years after age 65.
Don't wait for symptoms of any kind to occur. If you have one or more risk factors of glaucoma, talk to your doctor about scheduling regular eye exams. Your doctor can perform some tests, but others need to be done by an eye care specialist.
In addition, be alert for signs of an acute angle-closure glaucoma attack, such as a severe headache or pain in your eye or eyebrow, nausea, blurred vision or rainbow halos around lights. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate care at your local hospital emergency room.
Screening And Diagnosis
A simple, painless testing procedure known as tonometry can alert you and your physician to the possibility you may have Glaucoma. Tonometry measures the pressure within your eyeball. Normal intraocular pressure ranges from 10 to 21 millimeters of mercury. If your pressure is higher, your ophthalmologist can perform further tests to help determine whether you have Glaucoma.
Air-puff tonometry
Air-puff tonometry uses air to measure eye pressure. It does this by measuring the amount of force needed to indent your eye. This test is useful for preliminary Glaucoma screenings.
Applanation tonometry
An applanation tonometer is a sophisticated device that's usually fitted to a slit lamp, a common instrument for eye examination. For this test, your eyes will be anesthetized with drops and the tonometer placed directly on your eye. The pressure readings from this test are extremely accurate.
Your ophthalmologist may use an instrument called an ophthalmoscope to examine the back of your eye (fundus) and check the health of the fibers in your optic nerve. Damaged fibers may be asymmetrical or pale in color. Your doctor may also use a combination of laser light and computers to create a three-dimensional image of your optic nerve. This can reveal very slight changes that may indicate the beginnings of Glaucoma.
Visual field tests
Glaucoma gradually diminishes your ability to see to the side. That's why your ophthalmologist may recommend perimetry tests to check your peripheral vision. Some of these tests, which involve watching a monitor with hundreds of flickering lights, can be quite complex. Yet perimetry tests are still the best method for measuring peripheral vision. If you have optic nerve damage, you may need visual field testing as often as every 1 to 4 months for a time.
Other tests
To distinguish between primary open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma, your ophthalmologist may use an instrument known as a gonioscope to inspect the drainage angle between your cornea and iris.
You may not need any treatment if your eye pressure is only slightly elevated and there's no damage to your optic nerve. Instead, your doctor may choose to monitor your condition with regular eye exams. But if you have signs of optic nerve damage, treatment can help slow its progression. Unfortunately, it's not currently possible to reverse damage that has already occurred. Most people have good results with Glaucoma medication, but some may need surgery instead.
Medications for Glaucoma
Most Glaucoma medications are applied directly to your eyes in the form of drops, although a few may be taken orally. Because a portion of the drops may be absorbed into your bloodstream, you sometimes may have side effects unrelated to your eyes. In addition, some medications may lose their effectiveness over time. In that case, you may need to change or add medications or have surgery to control your Glaucoma.
Furthermore, because Glaucoma rarely causes symptoms in its early stages, you may not notice any change in your vision when you start using medication. Still, it's extremely important to follow your treatment plan exactly as your doctor prescribes. Skipping even a few doses of medication can cause your Glaucoma to become worse. If you have trouble with your treatment plan, tell your doctor.
Surgery for Glaucoma
When medications aren't effective or well tolerated, surgery may be an option. Keep in mind that surgery doesn't cure Glaucoma. As a result, you may need to keep using antiglaucoma medications even after surgery. In some cases, you may need a second operation.
Medications and surgery for acute glaucoma
Doctors may administer several different medications during an attack of acute glaucoma in an effort to reduce eye pressure as quickly as possible. Once your eye pressure is brought under control, you may have an emergency operation known as an iridotomy to create a drainage hole in your iris. This surgery is now almost exclusively performed with lasers, which allow specialists to form an opening without making an incision in your eye. Laser iridotomy is an outpatient procedure that avoids many of the risks of traditional surgery. After treatment you can usually resume your normal activities right away.
Treatment for low-tension glaucoma
Although eye pressure in this type of Glaucoma is normal, treatment with standard antiglaucoma medications seems to slow the progress of the disease.
There is no known way to prevent Glaucoma, but regular checkups can help detect the disease in its early stages before irreversible damage has occurred. As a general rule, have eye exams every 2 to 4 years if you're between the ages of 40 and 65. It's best to have your eyes examined every 1 to 2 years if:
You may need even more frequent check-ups if you've been diagnosed with abnormally high intraocular pressure or have a history of serious eye injury.

Falmouth residents say town not benefiting enough from investments, as it marks 250 years
FALMOUTH, Trelawny — As the Georgian town of Falmouth marks its 250 years of existence, several stakeholders are complaining that while there have been investments in the town in recent years, the majority of residents are not benefiting.
Respected banker Winston Tomlinson is among those positing the view that while Falmouth is now returning to the glory days of the colonial era, the majority of the town's people are not benefiting from the emerging economic boom.
"From my standpoint, it is clear that there are some efforts being made to expand the town, but it is since less than 10 years you see that happening. But it is not legacy passing down [as] most of the people benefiting from the opportunities now are not Falmouthians. If you go to the housing areas, most of the people are not from Falmouth — they are migrants," Tomlinson said.
A tour bus operator, who gave his name as Benny, agreed.
He said a number of "outside bus operators" have descended on the town in recent years and are depriving them of work.
"It hard for us Trelawny people to get work at the pier to carry tourists because you have operators from Ochi Rios, Montego Bay, and as far as Negril taking the work," he complained.
The outspoken Dennis Seivwright, a former president of the Trelawny Chamber of Commerce and Industry, argued while the town has come a long way in recent history, there is still need for infrastructural development.
"We have come a long way in terms of influx of businesses, particularly with Chinese investments. But I am disappointed that we are not doing enough about our defunct infrastructure for the improvement of the town of Falmouth," he said.
"Two hundred and fifty years ago in Falmouth it was donkey cart, and now we don't have space for motor vehicles. It says a lot, but we need to look at our infrastructure in a serious way," said Seivwright.
For Derrick Scott, a Falmouth native who resides in the diaspora, "Falmouth has developed over the past 50 years".
"The town has seen major developments — the two major developments being the port and the artisan village now under construction — but apart from that, not much has changed. A major concern is that they destroyed the fountain, and the history is there, because Falmouth had running water before New York. You don't destroy your history, you save your history; look at Sam Sharpe Square. When Mr Seaga [former prime minister] was fixing Sam Sharpe Square they never destroyed the fountain, they built around it, and it is still there," Scott argued.
A raft of planned activities to mark the year-long celebration of the 250th anniversary of the historic town was announced during a media launch last week.
The activities will be spearheaded by the Trelawny Municipal Corporation (TMC), in partnership with the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport.
And if the first major celebratory event, which took place in the historic Water Square on Saturday where hundreds of people gathered for the Children of Icons and Emerging Artistes in Concert is anything to go by, then the celebrations will enjoy a strong buy-in from the public. The concert was part of activities marking Reggae Month, which was incorporated into the 250th anniversary celebrations.
During the media launch, held at the TMC Municipal building prior to the start of the concert on Saturday, Falmouth Mayor Councillor C Junior Gager revealed that the calender of the events will continue on Sunday, March 1, with the 250th anniversary church service, to Tuesday, December 29.
Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Olivia "Babsy" Grange said that Falmouth, noted for its Georgian architecture, was created back in the 18th century, and through the vision of leaders back then, the town boasted "piped water long before New York City".
The town now has one of the leading cruise shipping ports in the Caribbean, and Grange has indicated her intention to use her ministry to "provide Falmouth with an added boost of life, excitement and energy".
"My ministry stands ready to engage with the town to ensure that its status as a heritage-based town and attraction is sustained through its development as a tourism destination, bringing cruise ships and other tourists to the island. The combination of Georgian architecture with culture and entertainment presents a unique destination with all the trappings of economic growth and development through opportunities for income generation for the people of Falmouth and its surroundings, and revenue enhancement for the municipality and Jamaica," Grange was quoted as saying in a statement read at the launch by Mexine Bissasor, who chairs the board of the Jamaica Cultural Development Corporation.
"By way of this focus, Falmouth can challenge the likes of New Orleans as a heritage and culture destination because of the likelihood established through our collaboration of visitors experiencing a wide repertoire of authentic Jamaican culture and entertainment."
Gager, in the meantime, urged members of the diaspora to become actively engaged in the year-long celebrations.
"The 250-year history of the town is too important not to be highlighted. We are doing everything to make these celebrations as fun-filled as possible for members of the entire parish," Gager told the Observer West.

Guest post by Jeff Mosenkis of Innovations for Poverty Action.

- EconTalk had George Borjas, who's known for being a contrarian on immigration research. The interview didn't really get into the stuff that many disagree with, but was really more about his perspective. He argues that:
- Not all immigrants are the same, they arrive with different skills, so you should expect to see effects in particular subsections of the labor market. Some might see that as a justification for cherry picking/subgroup analysis. But he explains that this observation comes from his own experience as a Cuban immigrant, and in grad school knowing better than the professors that different waves of Cubans came to the U.S. fleeing different circumstances, and from different classes and backgrounds.
- He suggests* that a 25% increase in labor supply at the low end corresponds with about a 5% reduction in wages for workers in that group. Most people focus on the big net societal benefits, so policies ignore the small group who are experiencing the negative impact. He thinks policymakers ignore those hurt by immigration their own political peril.
- David Evans has a great blog post just waiting for a Vox or education reporter to pick up. He reviews several studies, and wherever you go in the world, parents think their kids are doing better in school than they are. Simply letting parents know when their kids are missing school or an assignment, or falling behind, is very cheap and has huge impacts on student achievement.
- Dupas, Huillery, & Seban have good and even better news from Cameroon [PDF]. They tested several classroom-based safer sex/HIV prevention interventions and found large impacts in rural (though not urban) areas. All four interventions worked showing 25-48% reductions in childbearing 9-12 months later. Even a one-hour self-administered questionnaire worked as well as in-class sessions led by consultants.
- Call for case studies on collecting sensitive data (particularly through digital means), to help develop new USAID guidelines on how to do such things. Submit descriptions of how you've collected such data by Feb 15. (h/t Alexis Ditkowsky)
- The administration is reportedly preparing to roll back the financial adviser "fiduciary" rule requiring that advisers act in their clients' best interest rather than their own. This comes in when steering clients towards investments that the adviser potentially has a stake in (I've seen this personally, it's pernicious and very hard to get a straight answer). When the rule was being debated almost exactly a year ago, the University of Chicago's Harold Pollack made a commercial to explain it:
[*] I'm not taking a position on Borja's findings, but there's a lively discussion in EconTalk comments

Feedback Management - 4 minutes read
Conversations can be a tricky business. Sometimes, decoding what is said with what is meant is difficult at best. However, communication is a necessary tool in todays world. And it's not only speaking that can be difficult, but trying to interpret body language, and other language barriers are just a few of the obstacles barring effective communication. It's often been the case were one party completely miscommunicates to another due to a misunderstanding between parties.
Most people learn to talk when they are relatively young. Gaining in verbal capacity as the get older and engage in conversation with more and more people throughout their lives. And while most people will spend their time constantly speaking, some never really learn to listen, which is the king of effective communication. It may seem strange to hear such a thing as this, but it's true. Even though it may not sound true to the individual who just spent the last couple moments listening to some co-worker blather on about his fantasy football picks, but it is.
Without proper listening, speech communication would just be a lot of annoying sounds. Unfortunately, most of the time we spend listening, really is just the process of physically absorbing the annoying squawks and squeaks that come out of someone.
The problem with listening is that it's so hard. It's even harder to Listening actively. What's required to listen actively is more difficult to learn than it was to learn to speak when we were young. It's not something that can be absorbed through simply interacting with other humans. Active listening requires the receiver in the conversation to seek out among the speakers words and try to understand what the speaker is really saying. To fish through the emotion, defensiveness, cultural differences and jargon.
If it's so hard to listen than it must be extremely hard to get some one to pay attention to what your saying
One of the most important elements of communication is creating effective feedback. Whether by picking up on non verbal cues or audible ones feedback is important. Knowing that your message is being understood correctly is vital. Feedback when done by the sender, allows the speaker a chance to make sure that the listener understands what is trying to be communicated. Someways to use feed back is through closed ended questions like "do you understand what I'm saying?" or " did that make sense?" Another effective tactic is using an open ended question and through this method the listener will hopefully summarize the message you have been trying to impart and in turn expose any misunderstandings between the two of you. Using a question like "what do you think about what I've just told you?" or "what are your feelings on the subject?" are both effective examples of using a open ended question in order to obtain clarification between the sender and the receiver.
In the business world feedback is even more crucial. Feedback from your employees, your clients, and customers plays an important role in creating and maintaining a business or institution. Making sure that they understand what your trying to say whether it's through management or advertising. It's important to know that, not only is your message getting through, but that it's being interpreted correctly.
Once you've gained an understanding of how your information is being perceived and interpreted. You'll know how to proceed, cutting of those things feedback has shown to be ineffective and replacing it with solutions known to produce the results you want.
Make sure that people understand what you are trying to say. Whether in marketing, management, or just everyday conversations. Through feedback, communication can be an effective tool in the world of business and everywhere else.

I will try to write to survivor tactics. In this post, I will write as my inner spirits.
My spirits are not religious, but aspects of my personality that carry my past, my pain, my grief and hold my terror.
I am an athiest, but know there is aspects of us that is unspoken, is hidden from memory – that I name as spirits.
It is not supernatural, not religious, not an outside force – it is part of being human, and vital for survival and to hold memory.
I have chosen to divide my aspects of personality into nine spirits, and in this post, I will write in their voices. Remember there is no real division, just different ways of holding my past.
I remember through my dragon-spirit as I reach into my deep grief.
A dragon knows loneliness, a dragon has been ripped from its history and culture.
All the prostituted their past stolen, their access to friends/family and a loved culture ripped from them – all the prostituted live inside deep grief.
My dragon-spirit holds this pit of grief, and in silence crys, weeps and on occasions howls.
Always knowing, no-one want to know that grief, my dragon-spirit hides in a cave away from public gaze.
The grief of the prostituted is silent and kept hidden, afraid of the empty space it leaves.
The silent grief is huge – it the grief of never receiving full justice, it is the the grief of being made so sub-human that you become invisible, the grief of having outward injuries and wounds but being told you enjoy being a whore.
My dragon-spirit hold my grief without judgement, only weeps for that past.
I have a baby-spirit, a sense that I had a time of innocence, a time of wonder, a time of safety.
I am scared to know my baby-spirit, for I am scared to see how vulnerable I was, how much I longed to be loved, how naive I could be.
My baby-spirit wants fun, wants to be loved, wants to love others – and wants a mother.
But there always a hole in my baby-spirit, there is and was no mother-love.
My baby-spirit is not held by her mother, she is ignored by the mother when she is hurt or crying.
The mother has stopped speaking to my baby-spirit, turns out all lights even when knowing the baby-spirit hate the dark.
The mother slowly teaches the baby-spirit to hate herself, to know she must be bad, that it is of no matter if the baby-spirit is in pain.
The baby-spirit learns to smile through pain, learns to stop crying for help or love, learns to be a doll instead of a human.
My snake-spirit is the holder of wisdom.
The snake-spirit knows to change and disguise its purpose in order to survive a world out to destroy it.
The snake-spirit will be ruthless when needed, will be invisible when needed, will be still when needed.
I know my snake-spirit was vital to my surviving the violence of punters – for my snake-spirit held my memory, my pain and my fight till I was in a safe place to know those emotions.
As I became detached from the reality of be raped, tortured and the edge of death – the snake-spirit was storing it all for a time where I see my past without self-hate or blame.
My teenager-spirit is hard to know, but I have learnt to love her and to see she was blameless.
My teenager-spirit is full of unexpressed rage, full of suicidal feelings, she believes any light at the end of a tunnel is an oncoming train.
My teenager-spirit is lost in a world where she can trust no-one, where to being tortured/raped/murdered are her surroundings and norms.
My teenager-spirit acts tough when she is terrified, paints on a smile as punters pour their hate into her body.
My teenager-spirit would be labelled the Happy Hooker by those who refuse to see or listen.
I can now grieve for how lost I was as a teenager.
I can now grieve all the injuries, hate and death-threats force in my teenager-spirit.
I can now love, forgive and hold tight my teenager-spirit.
My little girl-spirit is when I knew I was losing hope or that I could loved.
I find it hard knowing this part of myself – knowing I was a child without safety, a child with no love to hold her, a child who became feral.
I am finding to hard to write to that part of me, as I am blinded by tears.
To understand my little girl-spirit it is important to meet the mermaid-spirit who is her secret friend.
As the abuse became my norm, I fall into books to find escape.
I read "Water Babies", and thought I had found a way out.
I wanted to die, and vanished into the world underwater.
A world without adults, a world without pain, a world where children had justice.
I imagined that world as I became a sex-doll for my stepdad, I imagined that world as my mother reminded me how much she hated me.
I survived by vanishing into a world where nothing matters, only endless playing.
In this world, I became a mermaid-spirit – the child who wants to not know their reality, a child who has fun as inside she imaging how to kill herself.
It was part of surviving to be detached.
My eagle-spirit is one of forensic memory and desire for full justice.
My eagle-spirit sees with a clear one who is to be blamed for all the pain, hate and terror poured into me – see it is punters who did all the torturing of my body and mind.
Like an eagle can see it's prey, however smal or hidden, from great distance – I see the male hate and greed that is the foundation stones of all the violence done to the prostituted.
It is a cold eye, a sight that see only the guilty and discards all red herrings.
My eagle-spirit is ruthless, is freedom loving, is cruel for a purpose – but mostly it far- and clear-seeing.
My tiger-spirit is a cub seeking it's mother, but in the meantime it has a sense of play and desire to protect even when the abusers are too strong.
My tiger-spirit is my sense of being an orphan, even those I had a mother.
I could understand why I felt so isolated and that maybe I was a changing.
My tiger-spirit held in that sense of unbelonging, keep it in silence – occasionally coming as I drawn or read ghost or fairy tales.
My tiger- spirit was the part of me that always wanted protection or to fight back – but only found abusers too strong or they would just laugh at me.
I had to learn the hard way I could never stop the male violence – I had to learn to survive by giving in.
To show self-pride, or any signs of being human when prostituted is too dangerous – especially when most punters are turn on by our fear or pain.
To end, my horse-spirit is one of my sense of independence, freedom and never to be told how be labelled.
My horse-spirit will never allow itself to be trapped, order around or made into sexual goods again.
My horse-spirit is my fight for liberation from everything that the sex trade did to me.
I will never be tied down.

The UK will become 'the leading country in the EU for the development of low carbon vehicles,' according to business minister, Mark Prisk, after a new government scheme was announced to subsidise the cost of buying low carbon cars.
Speaking at the Guildhall in the City of London, Prisk was joined at a presentation of the nine vehicles eligible for the grant by transport minister Phillip Hammond.
The grant – of up to £5000 per vehicle – will 'help encourage consumer demand' said Prisk.
He added: 'We are not an anti-car government, the car is not a problem, carbon is a problem.'
Paul Everitt from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders called the scheme 'a good start' but claimed the real benefits of the UK becoming an early adopter of low-carbon cars was in the opportunities for research and development and manufacturing components needed for future electric vehicles.
'We want to see the automotive industry investing in the UK and we can help by creating a market,' Everitt said.

Much of Asia has a strong need for additional electricity generation. With many Asian governments looking to expand their renewable energy capacity, particularly solar, asset managers and other investors are seeing large opportunities to make money while helping Asia meet those energy needs.
"There are still huge unmet demands for electric power here in Asia," Mark Moseley, lead lawyer for public-private partnerships at the World Bank, said at the Power & Electricity World Asia conference in Singapore last week. "In terms of raw numbers, the unmet demand in Asia is greater than anywhere else."

Because what could look worse than a missing piece of trim?

Because what could look worse than a missing piece of trim?
(Submitted by Tom Klockau just today at the Cohort. Thanks, Tom!)
Hey, at least they are keeping up on the maintenance!
The half-length vinyl roof is a great period touch.
Looks like they have a trunkful of, er, recyclable metals, let's say! My dad put booster shocks (the ones with the coil springs on them) on our 1971 LTD probably 2-3 years after we got it, and we upgraded to full air shocks in the late 70s (that was great – kept us from getting our headlights flashed at on family trips). Those domestic shocks seemed to last about 20K miles back in the 70s (at which point one ordered a replacement set, usually from Sears or Wards).
Somehow these dont look correct unless they are catching a little air through an intersection with a blue light on the roof.
"Because what could look worse than a missing piece of trim?"
In today's cars, if you take out the fenders they look awful. I remember A1 Rabbits looked nice without fenders, not now.
I guess today fenders are trim… so I agree.
Here is a shot of my '85 C/V, Canadian spec ,with the 351W, factory dual exhaust, and 14 inch wheels. I still think that 15 inchers were an option. With a light foot, she will do around 24US on the highway, and about 18 around town. Originally supplied with the variable venturi carb, it has been replaced with a 2bbl Ford carb or uncertain origin. The rear axle is the 2.73, so it turns fairly low revs on the highway. A very smooth economical cruiser that gives away performance to my similar spec '75 Monte with the 350 4bbl and 2.73 rear end.
There are tons of US-spec Panther guys (myself included!) that wish they had a 351 like yours!
If I were ever to go bigger in mine, though, it'd be to a 460.

- In this movie, we'll explore the powerful concept behind making a multi-instrument. Here we have an instrument track called My Multi with a simple MIDI sequence on it. It doesn't have any instrument attached to it yet. So when I click on the Instrument icon, nothing appears. So let's add an instrument. We'll go over to our Browse panel. Under instruments, we'll choose the Mai Tai synth. So down here in the PreSonus folder, let's drag and drop a Mai Tai polyphonic synthesizer right on the track.
Let's load up the Mai Tai with one of the presets. In this case, we're going to go to Polyphonic and we're going to choose this one setting that I happen to like called Poly-Csynth 88. Okay, so I've loaded that sound out. If I play the track, we're gonna here what that sounds like. I'll just solo it. (high-pitched synthesizer notes) And with the music. (high-pitched synthesizer music) Pretty cool, but let's make a multi-instrument.
That's just a regular old instrument track with a polyphonic synth on it. But we're here to make a multi-instrument, so how do we do that? Well, the easiest way to create a multi-instrument is to find another instrument you want to combine and add it to the track as well. So let's go over here. Instead of adding another Mai Tai, let's grab the Presence which is our sampler instrument from Studio One. So we'll just click and drag this. Drop this on the track also. What's going to happen is Studio One's going to say, "Hey, do you want to Replace it with the Presence "or Combine it?" Like I said, we're trying to combine it.
So I'm going to click Combine. Now, we've created a multi-instrument. It pops us right into the Instrument Editor. You can see our track now has two instruments attached to it, Mai Tai and Presence. Right now, when we hear a note, it'll play both of them. Only, there's one thing I need to make sure of is that I need to load up a sound in the Presence. Right now it doesn't have any sound loaded into it. So I'll double-click on the Presence instrument. I'm going to load up a sort of percussive-type sound into the Presence.
So let's see. If I go into our default sound settings here, I'm going to go into Percussion. Let's do a Marimba sound or actually, a Kalimba which is like a thumb piano. It's kind of nice. I'll do the Kalimba Dynamic. So if I play the instrument down here, I can just kind of hear (plucky kalimba sound) what that sounds like. A nice percussive, plucky sound, right? Now, because it's part of our multi-instrument, when I play the multi-instrument keyboard, (synth and plucky kalimba) I hear both the synth, it's a little hard to hear, but you can hear a plucky sound underneath.
Basically, both instruments are playing back simultaneously as part of our multi-instrument. Now the cool thing, once you have this routing going is you can click on each instrument and even change their volume relationship to one another. So the Mai Tai 2, you can make it a little quieter. You can even pan this one a little bit more to the left. You can click on the Presence, and make that one slightly louder, and pan it to the right. Now we'll really be able to differentiate the sound. (plucky kalimba and synth notes) You hear the Presence on the right, the kalimba on the right, and the Mai Tai synth on the left.
Now the volumes are a little bit more equal. (plucky kalimba and synth notes) Now some people like to make a split-keyboard instrument. So what that would mean is that your left hand could play, for example, the Mai Tai 2, split the keyboard in half, and the right hand can play the Presence. That's very easy to setup That's what these bars down at the bottom are. So if I wanted to do that, I just decide by dragging which keys are going to play which instruments. So I could split the keyboard right in half, somewhere around the middle C, perhaps, or maybe a little bit lower as you commonly done.
Now my left hand will play (rippling synth music) just the synth, and the right hand will play (rippling kalimba music) just the Presence. So those are ways you can use the Muli Instrument. You can do a split keyboard or you can keep them all playing at the same time, which I actually like in this case. So I'm going to drag these back and not split the keyboard, keep them all together. What if we wanted to add a third instrument? That's totally easy. We can just go over here. This time we're going to add the Mojito which is an original instrument from the Studio One. It was in Studio One 2.
The Mojito is another synth. So let's go ahead and just drag and drop this. You can drop it right in here. Now we have three instruments. We have three lanes here. We can load up a sound on the Mojito instrument. Let's load up by double-clicking. Let's load up the Clavinet sound from the Mojito. It's a clavinet emulator because this is a synthesizer. It's just a single oscillator synth, but it's a kind of a nice sound. We'll hear what that sounds like when we hear all three now. (plucky kalimba, low synth notes) So it adds a little low-end (plucky kalimba, low synth music) to our sound.
Again, we can raise or lower this or let's keep it pan center but just lower it, just a little bit. So you've got three instruments making up our Multi Instrument. (plucky kalima, low synth notes) We can hear them in context to the song. So let's see what this sounds like with this simple MIDI sequence we've got going on. (plucky kalimba, low electronic synth music) I think I'm going to edit that a little bit. Go back in here, take the Mojito, turn it down just a little bit. Now we can make this even more interesting by adding Note FX.
So this is a new concept in Studio One. Note FX, you have four available. They're ways to manipulate incoming MIDI. So they would actually go in the chain before the instruments. So the MIDI comes in. It gets manipulated by a Note FX. Then it alters the sound that comes out of the instrument. We're going to actually attach a Note FX here called a Repeater. Repeater is a cool thing because it basically allows you to play one note. It'll repeat that note in a pattern that will send the MIDI or skew the MIDI to play sort of a repeated pattern.
So let's set our steps to eighth notes for the Repeater. We'll set our pattern. It's also going to be eighth notes in length. So every one note will basically repeat eight times in a time frame of eighth notes. So we'll check it out. If I play like a C, (low-pitch synth keyboard notes) you get eight Cs. ♫ Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum ♫ It doesn't sound that cool yet, but let's go back. Notice the Repeater is like I said right before in the chain. Let's go back into the Repeater. Double-click here.
We can alter it a little bit. I want to make the velocities different. I want to go up here and choose Individual Velocity. By doing that, I can actually alter the pattern and make it kind of go up and down in Velocity throughout this eight note pattern. Now lets hear what this sounds like. (high-pitch keyboard synth notes) Very cool. You might even want to go a little more extreme on that. Let's go back in there. Let's just make these real obvious pattern shifters. Just kind of putting a random pattern in, but you'll see it'll be cool once we hear it in the song.
So now we've got the Repeater going. Let's hear it in context, the song with just simple MIDI notes. As you can see, I'm going to play the Repeater back. (plucky kalimba, high-pitch synthesizer, electronic music) Pretty cool, right? This is a very simple effect but it has a really nice sound with the tracks since it's pumping out these different velocities of eighth notes. Cool. So we made this multi-instrument.
We want to save this. This is a really cool instrument. So let's save this so that we can use it later. The way to save it is we want to click on this little Page icon right here. That let's us Store a Preset. So we're going to do that. We're going to store this as My Multi. We're going to give it a Description. This is part of that tag-based search thing. We can give it a description so we can find it later. So we'll call this Awesome.
The Subfolder is where it'll be found. So we're going to call the subfolder My Multi Instruments. That way we'll be able to find the ones we made easier later. So click OK. Now we've saved it as My Multi. Now check this out. If I go over here in the Multi Instruments part of the Browser, we now have a folder called My Multi Instruments. Guess what's in there? The My Multi we just made. So anytime you create an awesome multi-instrument, you can save it right in here.
Now we have a folder for that. This is accessible from any song from here on out.

First, I will send out the 7 cover letters for today. I will then leave for Mt. Pleasant at 11:00.
After taking so much time with the 7 cover letters, I will have to DDR when I get back.
I don't really do much in my free time. It's just look for work, work out, eat, read, etc.
Something's missing. It must be that I'm not playing any video games (except for DDR, which I just use for workout! :P). Last year, my craving was fulfilled since I was playing Final Fantasy XII nonstop. Since there's no new game this year, I guess that's why I feel deprived.
I might dig out the old console (maybe the NES or SNES! >^_^<) and do some vintage gaming. It's all I can do until Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots comes out for the Playstation 3 in April or May of 2008.
I will now get these cover letters out to the Post Office. That's it for now.

The year was 1986. I was twelve years old. A song kept playing on the radio. Most people, including me, didn't understand the words, but we sang it anyway.
Kyrie eleison down the road that I must travel.
Kyrie eleison through the darkness of the night.
The song made its way to the top of the Billboard Charts. Only later did I find out what the song actually meant.
It was a prayer.
Kyrie eleison is Greek for "Lord, have mercy." The Kyrie, as it is called, is one of the oldest prayers in the Christian Church. Christians have been saying and singing those words in worship for nearly 2,000 years.
God's mercy is his forgiving love. Often in our worship we sing the Kyrie as we confess our sins. Together with the tax collector in Jesus' parable, we bow our heads, beat our breasts and pray, "Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner."
Traditionally, though, the Kyrie was used in prayers called "litanies." As we ask God for his blessing and help in our lives, we pray, "Lord, have mercy." We pray those words because we realize we don't deserve anything good from our God. We are dirty, rebellious sinners.
The only reason God gives us good things is because of his mercy which forgives our sins in Jesus.
In light of recent events in our country and as we prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, I invite you to pray the Kyrie with me:
Almighty God, we pray today for our nation – a nation blessed by you, but also a nation divided, a nation marked by violence and racism, a nation stained by sin.
Lord, have mercy.
We pray for our government. Bless our president, congress and courts. Help them to act wisely and according to your will. When they don't, in your mercy forgive them. Use us and others to speak out against injustice and sin, but also help us to respect the governing officials as your representatives.
Lord, have mercy.
We pray for the families of the victims of the massacre in Charleston, South Carolina. Give them the peace that only you can give. We thank you for the faith of those who died and the heaven they are now enjoying because of Jesus. We also pray for the shooter, Dylan Roof, and all those whose hearts are hardened by racism and hate. Help them to find in you forgiveness and love.
Lord, have mercy.
As our nation struggles with issues of sexuality and marriage, we ask you to bless the families of our land. Help husbands and wives to love each other as you have loved them. In your mercy, forgive our many sins against your gift of sexuality.
Lord, have mercy.
Be with the Christians of our land. Give us the courage to stand firm in your Word. Forgive us our pride and anger. Help us to speak your truth boldly and in love.
Lord, have mercy.
We ask all of these things knowing that we and our nation are unworthy of your love. Yet, trusting in your mercy and the forgiveness Jesus won for us, we pray:
Kyrie eleison.

Eventually mommy just gave up and let you be you - playing with and trying to eat grass. This just confirms even more how much you are not like your old sister - she hated to get dirty and would have sat neatly on the blanket.
You are full of personality! FULL of energy and are still a super happy baby. You now weigh 22.5 lbs and are wearing clothing that are twelve months.

Case Study Summary:
Canadian patient had Lap-Band and did not lose weight because of slippage. Then they tried plication since they wanted to have the reversible procedure. She felt the sleeve plication was too tight. Then doctors made it looser. The plication did not work. They converted that to mini gastric bypass and during the procedure, doctors found out that the stomach can be unfolded, and plication is reversible. She is doing good after the surgery.
