A trio of House Republicans who are eyeing 2012 bids for statewide office succeeded in changing the GOP's stopgap spending measure in ways that could bolster their campaign credentials.
The free-wheeling amendment process that GOP leaders allowed on the continuing resolution, which would fund the government from March 4 through Sept. 30, touched off contentious debates on a range of politically motivated messaging amendments, including proposals from GOP lawmakers looking to raise their profiles ahead of 2012.
GOP Reps. Mike Pence (Ind.), Denny Rehberg (Mont.) and Jeff Flake (Ariz.) all won approval for amendments to the spending bill this week. Pence is mulling a run for governor after ruling out a 2012 presidential campaign, and Rehberg and Flake announced this month that they will run for Senate in 2012.
Rehberg disputed the notion that his amendment, which would bar funds for implementation of last year's health care overhaul law, has anything to do with his challenge to first-term Sen. Jon Tester.
"Actually, this is not about my campaign, this about doing the right thing and that is defunding ObamaCare," said Rehberg, chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee that funds the Department of Health and Human Services. "This has nothing to do with the Senate race, this has to do with representing the people of Montana and I think better representing the state and their philosophy."
Rehberg said his subcommittee chairmanship made him the natural choice to push the defunding amendment. He noted that he held 75 town hall meetings in his state during the previous Congress and has focused on repealing the law, a marquis legislative accomplishment for a fellow Montanan, Sen. Max Baucus (D).
Still, the Republican acknowledged his defunding effort and Tester's support of the law draw a sharp contrast for Montana voters — and the National Republican Senatorial Committee was quick to jump on it.
"Today's vote to defund ObamaCare highlights the stark contrasts between Montana Republicans and Senator Tester," NRSC Press Secretary Chris Bond said in a statement Friday "While Tester repeatedly put his love of ObamaCare ahead of the wishes and best interests of his state, Republicans have listened to the American people and today took decisive action to put a stop to the massive Tester-Obama health care overhaul. The differences could not be more clear for Montanans as they prepare to hold President Obama and Jon Tester accountable for their shared record in 2012."
Pence won adoption of an amendment that would bar all federal funding for Planned Parenthood, arguing that taxpayers should not subsidize the "largest abortion provider in America." The measure had the backing of 10 Democrats, and Pence hailed the vote as "a victory for taxpayers and a victory for life."
The Indiana lawmaker has been pushing to limit federal money for groups that provide abortions since 2007, when he first introduced legislation to bar federal funds under Title X of the Public Health Service Act, which provides health care services to low-income women, for any entity that performs abortions.
Flake, who plans to run for retiring GOP Sen. Jon Kyl's seat, is a fiscal conservative and ardent anti-earmark crusader who frequently pushes for amendments to spending bills. He offered a handful of amendments to the stopgap funding measure, including a proposal to zero out funding for the National Drug Intelligence Center, a pet project of the late Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.). Flake won a rare victory with adoption of that amendment, which garnered the support of 45 Democrats in the addition to the vast majority of Republicans.
Flake, who announced his candidacy Feb. 14, disputed the notion that his decision to offer the amendments was fueled by his Senate bid.
"Most of these were drafted before," he said. "We've been meeting on these amendments long before Jon Kyl announced his retirement. It's the same amendments I've offered typically under an open rule before."
But the Senate aspirant acknowledged that his proposals would give him a record to point to on the campaign trail.
"That just goes with the territory," he said. "You have a record here, for good or for ill, and that's what people are going to be focused on. The reality is — if you're running for a Senate office, or governorship, or whatever else — you don't have time to be at home running across the state, so people have to judge you on your record here."
Rep. Christopher Murphy (D-Conn.) has announced a bid to replace retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman, an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats. But Murphy did not offer any amendments to the continuing resolution.
Asked why he didn't seize the opportunity to offer an amendment, Murphy said, "I'm not going to change my style just because I'm running for different office."
"I'm proud of the fact that I'm not a show horse, and when I offer amendments or legislation, it's for substantive reasons and not for show," Murphy said.
But Murphy also said he plans to highlight his House voting record in his upcoming campaign.
"Running statewide as a Member of Congress is mostly a strength, but it can also be a liability," he said. "I have a very public and open and sometimes controversial record, and I'm willing to defend it back home. ... I have a strong record of fighting for Democratic principles and being elected in a Republican-leaning district, and, ultimately, I think that will be a strong selling point in Connecticut.
Rep. Robert Andrews said there was nothing wrong with GOP Members using the amendment process to strengthen their voting records with an eye toward future campaigns.
"In fairness, I think every Member is always looking to do that in some way, and there's nothing wrong with that," the New Jersey Democrat said. "Part of what we run on is our records as public servants, so I commend anyone who tries to do that."
But Eric Schultz, spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, accused Flake and Rehberg of "pandering to the extremists in their party" with their amendments. He said the approach would backfire.
"Republicans claimed to be all about jobs and the economy, but now that they're the majority in the House they're working on everything but," Schultz said. "At some point, they're going to be held accountable for this rhetoric on the campaign trail."

Everyone who is a veteran or has a family member who was a veteran should be outraged at the Obama administration.
To the editor:
Everyone who is a veteran or has a family member who was a veteran should be outraged at the Obama administration.
This president will go to great lengths to inflict misery on American citizens in order to get his way.
Remember the sequester; that was his idea and didn�t turn out the way he wanted. He inflicted draconian cuts on our military instead of making wise cuts to other departments. This time, he is using the shutdown of about 15 percent of the government to inflict misery on World War II veterans.
The World War II memorial in Washington, D.C., is an open air memorial paid for by private money and is not normally surrounded by any fences. Recently, an honor flight of World War II veterans was flown to D.C. to visit the memorial erected in their honor. Imagine their shock and surprise to see it surrounded by barricades and police tape.
A few Republican congressmen came to their rescue and removed the barricades themselves in order to pay tribute to these heroes.
Now the administration has decided to have mounted police patrolling this open-air park in order to keep these 80- and 90-year-old veterans from visiting the memorial erected in their honor. What will happen when the next honor flight arrives? Will they arrest these veterans if they try to visit their memorial?
If you�re not outraged, then dismiss this; but if you are, you should call the White House and Congress to voice your displeasure. Our veterans deserve our support.

ok some people have been asking about IRC so I thought I would do a quick tut on the matter....
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat - its more or less the same as the chatrooms I suspect most people have visited.
You have different rooms with people talking in them
Now like chat rooms you got to be on the right server to talk in each room. You wouldn't go into a Yahoo chatroom server to chat in a MSN room - the same goes for IRC
There might be 1000's of rooms called ChitChat but just on different servers.
There are two main ways to chat on IRC
- Thro a Java client
- Thro a local client (like mIRC)
I prefer the later as it gives you more options so this tutorial will concentrate on that but first I will explain what a Java chat client is....
You can see an example of a Java chat client at Unerror.com - this allows you to join only the one server and limits what you can do....
Now to join IRC thro a local client you will need a client like mIRC - found here
download and instal it and then we can get cracking
when you run it you will be presented with a lil box with a pic of a guy in the right corner (click on his nose for an mIRC easter egg) just close that box by clicking the X
A new window will open called mIRC options
Now fill out the boxes like Full name etc - but remember whatever you put in them will be visible to other people on IRC so if you dont want to fill in your real details then dont
the nickname field also needs to be filled out this will be your handle on IRC - it is unlike other chat progs in the fact that you dont register your nick (you can on some servers but not that many) so pick something that no-one else is going to have that will be unique to you.....
ok now above all that is a drop down field with a list of servers - if you wanted to connect to one of them you would select it and then hit [connect to server] but I am going to talk you thro typing in a server name rather than picking one so just hit ok
Now you should be left with just the one window labeled status
enter in there /server irc.unerror.com
you should see some text like
the 6667 in brackets is the port number you are connecting to this is the defualt port for IRC servers* Connecting to irc.unerror.com (6667)
* Identd request from xx.xxx.xx.xxx
* Identd replied: 1052, 6667 : USERID : UNIX : valhallen
-irc.unerror.com- *** Looking up your hostname...
-irc.unerror.com- *** Found your hostname (cached)
-irc.unerror.com- *** Checking ident...
-irc.unerror.com- *** Received identd response
ok after that there should be some scrolling text and then a new window will open listing different rooms - type #lobby
this will take you to the room called lobby - thats it your now ready to chat
but i will also go over some of the common commands in irc
a command always starts with / to distinguish it from normal text
some commands are general and can be typed in any window such as /server
but other need to be typed in the room you wish to send them to
- /me (your text here) - this appears in this way in chat
for example /me slaps xmaddness around with a large trout
would look like
*v_Ln slaps xmaddness around with a large trout
these msgs are usualy a different color form the normal text as well
- [/color=red]/nick (new nick)[/color] This is used to change your nick
- /join (room name) Makes you join a new room - the old one will remain open as well (dont forget the # as well
- /msg (persons nick) (your meassge) this sends a private msg to that person
these are just a few of the basic commands that can be used there are alot more but many depend upon your status in the room.....in some rooms you will see people with a @ before their name this means they are an op and have mor control over the room (can change topic, kick, ban, unban, mute room, set limit, set invite etc etc) you may also see some other people with a + before their name - this is not much of an advantage as it only means that if for some reason the op's were to mute the room they (and other ops) would be the only ones still able to send msgs.....normally a room is only ever muted when under a DoS attack (someone flooding room) and the + is mostly used as a symbol that the perosn is well known in that room.
ok well thats the basics if you want to know more there are plenty of site out there about mIRC and IRC in general but that should be enough to get you on IRC at least
http://unerror.com/beta/ <- much thanks needed for giving the old AOIRC'ers somewhere to go and argue since the old server was closed - \/\/3 0w3 j00 d|_|d3!!!!!!!!!!!

Federal Grant to Study High-Risk Alcohol Use on Campus
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
Michigan Tech has received federal funding to address a persistent problem on campus: high-risk drinking, which is a critical issue nationwide.
"This is going to be a huge step forward to reduce risky drinking behaviors on campus," said Michelle Bangen, of Counseling and Wellness Services.
The $116,840 grant from the Department of Education will support Tech's effort to achieve a campus characterized by healthy relationships, healthy living and a healthy community--all of which can be undermined by alcohol abuse.
"Alcohol abuse," said Don Williams, director of Counseling and Wellness Services, "figures pretty heavily in a lot of the conduct issues we see with students on campus." Those issues can range from breaking a window to sexual assault. "A lot of that stuff, if you dig a little deeper, there's alcohol involved."
Bangen, coordinator of student health and wellness, will spearhead the initiative, and Katie Russell, coordinator of orientation at COMPASS, will track the results and evaluate the effectiveness.
Underlying the effort is some critical misinformation, Bangen said. "The thinking on campus and in the community is that Michigan Tech is an extremely heavy drinking school. Students think that other students are drinking a lot more than they actually do." That mistaken notion can constitute pressure to drink, especially among first-year students. "If students perceive others as heavy drinkers," she says, "they are more likely to become heavy drinkers, thinking it will help them fit in."
"The misconception about alcohol abuse on campus is gigantic," Bangen added. She cites a 2006 alcohol and drug use survey that measured usage, attitudes, and perceptions. It showed that more than 90 percent of Tech students believe that the average student drinks once a week or more; while, in fact, 70 percent of students drink once a week or less, and 20 percent don't consume alcohol at all.
"Although the majority of our students are making smart decisions related to alcohol use," Bangen said, "the percentage of Michigan Tech students engaging in high-risk drinking behaviors is still unsettling."
The 2006 survey determined that 49 percent of students reported to have binged--consumed more than five drinks in a setting--in the two weeks before the survey.
Bangen says the problem is more pronounced in certain student populations (intramural and intercollegiate athletes, the Greek community and first-year students) and at certain times (orientation, Homecoming, the end of the semesters, Winter Carnival and Senior Walk). These populations and occasions will be the main focus of the grant implementation.
The first step will be to contact incoming first-year students during the summer before their arrival on campus. They will be required to complete "AlcoholEdu for College Students," an online interactive program that identifies drinking habits and addresses the policies, risks and consequences of problem drinking. "We'll help them gain good risk-reduction and decision-making skills before they show up on our doorstep," Bangen explained.
The second step is called "Social Norms Marketing." Bangen calls it "a highly promising" initiative that will combat the falsehoods about the campus drinking culture and help students fit into an actual culture rather than a mythical one."
The third step is effective intervention with problem drinkers and those facing judicial violations. "We want to see that they are not going to get back in trouble and back in our office," Bangen says.
The federal funds cover hiring additional staff--particularly more students in HOWL (Healthy Options for a Wellness Lifestyle). They will offer a range of awareness activities beyond the marketing campaign--workshops, a speaker and late-night alcohol-free events, including one at the Winter Carnival all-nighter.
HOWL will produce banners, posters, table tents ("the preferred and most effective method of advertising on campus") and giveaways, such as pens, clip magnets, Frisbees and flashlights, that contain messages about the more-restrained drinking culture on campus.
Involving students is key, Bangen says. "Bullying them not to drink doesn't work. They don't want to be lectured. They take peers more seriously than us professionals saying no."
In the past, Tech's efforts to reduce alcohol abuse have been generally limited to regulation and enforcement. The new program is many-pronged, and, for the first time nationally, it pulls together several initiatives. "One thing isn't going to fix everything," Bangen says. She calls the effort "a holistic approach."
Williams says the program could become a model for the rest of the nation's campuses.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

Lifetime Guarantee on Top Quality Goose Down Products At Hexvalleydown
October 14, 2013 (Powerhomebiz.com) De Doorns, Western Cape ( powerhomebiz ) October 9, 2013 – Products sold through the online goose down products site, hexvalleydown.com come with a promise that they shall last a lifetime- with proper care, they may even outlive the owner.
The problem with goose down products is that they're mass produced; wherein, the feathers are processed and refined to such an extent that the quill shaft is damaged and the fine strands are lost. Over time pillows or duvets made from such feathers lose their softness, thereby becoming lumpy and flat. But hexvalleydown.com goose down products remain in their natural state- they're only washed, sterilized, and treated with an SABS approved anti-allergic agent before being filled into cotton casings.
"All of our products bear the stamp of approval from Christine Jordaan. She started this business more than 20 years ago, by studiously collecting the goose downs from the geese reared at their farm in Hex Valley," says a spokesperson for the South African based online store.
The scale of this business today obviously makes it impossible for her to rely solely on her farm for goose down, but they're still sourced from local farms to make sure that quality is under control.
Another important reason for keeping the business local is to make sure that only down from big and mature geese is used. Clusters collected from mature birds hold pockets of air better than small clusters. "Thus, your pillows stay fluffy and comfortable for life," adds the spokesperson.
And unlike what environmental scaremongers would like us to believe, these geese are not killed to collect downs. "It would really foolish for us to kill our geese just to be able to collect the feathers. In fact, it is very important for us that these geese live until they're mature. We employ trained personnel who carefully collect these feathers by hand," adds the spokesperson.
To ensure that the products last a lifetime, it is important that the cotton casings are changed regularly, because the warranty is for the filling and not the cotton casing- these are bound to disintegrate over time.
About Hexvalleydown.com:
Hex Valley Down is an online retail shop that sells goose down products like sleeping bags, pillows and duvets. This family owned and managed business ensures quality by handpicking downs from mature geese sourced from local farms at Hex Valley.

Opens New Export Opportunities for U.S. Businesses
San Jose, Calif. — December 11, 2012 — SEMI praised Congressional leadership last week as the U.S. Senate passed legislation (92-4 vote) to normalize trade relations with Russia. The House of Representatives voiced similarly overwhelming support (365-43 vote) on November 16. The Russia and Moldova Jackson-Vanik Repeal Act (H.R. 6156) now awaits President Obama's approval. The Act allows American companies to receive the full benefits of Russia's recent accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) by waving an outdated, Cold War-era amendment that restricted trade.
Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) introduced H.R. 6156, which will allow U.S. businesses to benefit from lower tariffs following Russia's recent WTO ascension. Once signed by the President, this legislation will provide the impetus to double U.S. exports to Russia over the next five years. The establishment of PNTR with Russia is a major victory for U.S. goods and services providers who will benefit from equal access to the world's ninth largest market.
Russia formally joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in August and has since implemented a host of economic reforms to further open their market to foreign investment. With passage of PNTR, the U.S. will stimulate job creation and economic growth and level the playing field with the many WTO nations already enjoying unrestricted trade with Russia.
SEMI applauds the efforts of the Senate Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee for working together to get this legislation passed.

About the State University System of Florida
The State University System of Florida is governed by a 17-member Board of Governors, a constitutional body and led by appointed public servants. The System has a total enrollment of nearly 330,000 students, making it the second-largest public university system in the nation in terms of enrollment (some states have more than one university system). The Florida Constitution (Article IX, Section 7) was amended by the state's voters in 2002 to establish a statewide system of governance for all Florida public universities. As a result, the Florida Board of Governors was created in 2003 to oversee the State University System of Florida. Responsibilities include defining the distinctive mission of each institution and ensuring the well-planned coordination and operation of the System. The Board's 17 members include 14 appointed by the Governor, with three serving by virtue of their designations (a faculty member, a Florida Student Association student representative, and the Florida Commissioner of Education). The Board of Governors appoints a Chancellor who serves as the chief executive and administrative officer of the State University System. For more, including the Board's Annual Report that reflects accountability measurements and benchmarks occurring at each institution, see www.flbog.edu.

Two-day training to be held this weekend, Feb. 21 and 22 at Vermont Technical College.
Critically ill pediatric patients are not just "little adults," according to Bill Mapes, a paramedic who teaches a statewide course funded by the Vermont Department of Health's EMS for Children program. Children need highly specialized care that requires additional training and equipment to stabilize patients and save lives.
The fourth and final two-day Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals (PEPP) training, which was designed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, will be held at Vermont Technical College in Randolph on Feb. 21 and 22.
Mapes is the training coordinator for the Regional Ambulance Service in Rutland and one of the state's most respected first responders, with 32 years of experience.
"When Bill Mapes is leading a class, people listen," said Chris Bell, director of public health preparedness and EMS for the Health Department. "And I think it says a lot about the dedication of the state's EMS providers who consistently work to improve their skills. The three courses held to date were well attended."
Courses were held in January and February at the University of Vermont, Castleton State College, and Lyndon State College. The training was offered regionally to cover all 13 EMS districts. More than 50 EMS personnel will complete the training, and some will become eligible to teach the course.
The training provides continuing education toward their licenses as well as the opportunity to brush up on their pediatric emergency skills. The Health Departments has furnished all 13 EMS districts with teaching resources to provide future PEPP courses locally led by the new instructors.
Approximately 10 percent of all EMS calls in Vermont are for children, and many calls involve respiratory (breathing) problems such asthma attacks that need to be stabilized. EMS providers refer to the unexpected rapid collapse of a child who is having trouble breathing and then goes into a state of cardiac arrest as "falling off the table." Unlike adults, a pediatric patient will show fewer signs of impending heart failure and will collapse quickly.
"Pediatric cardiac arrest is almost always preceded by respiratory failure and what's required is rapid recognition, immediate airway control with oxygenation and ventilation, and transport to an appropriate facility where they can provide continuing care," said Mapes. "Pediatric emergencies are always stressful, and what we are working toward is raising the level of care for all EMS providers in Vermont."
A majority of the state's nearly 3,000 EMS providers are volunteer first responders.

Ericsson was founded 135 years ago, and recently celebrated 130 years of operations in Russia. In 2011, Russia was identified as one of Ericsson's five key markets and the brand adaption project was initiated as a logical next step.
Founded in 1968 by the New York Chapter of the American Marketing Association to recognize the most effective advertising efforts in the US, the EFFIE awards have since expanded globally. In Russia, the EFFIE/THE BEST BRAND awards are the only national prizes awarded for brand building. In the 2011 edition of the awards, which were presented at a ceremony in Moscow on April 12, 2012, Ericsson received the first prize in the Corporations & Organizations Award Category for its brand adaptation project, which was implemented last year in Russia. The project involved the development of localized communications strategies and a platform to execute them.
This year there were more than 72 entries in 25 categories and Ericsson was the only ICT company to receive a golden EFFIE.
Elena Biryukova, Chairperson, BEST BRAND/EFFIE Organizing Committee, says: "The creative concept of the Networked Society, developed by Ericsson, creates clear emotional appeals by explaining difficult technical terms in easy-to-understand messages and images. The campaign, developed by Ericsson, enhances brand recognition in Russia and reinforces the company's image as a world ICT leader. During its 130 years in Russia, Ericsson has built a strong and stable brand, which today received the highest marketing award."
Ruslan Nozdryakov, Head of Communications, Ericsson Northern Europe and Central Asia, says: "Ericsson's leadership has extended far beyond the telecom market and now embraces the whole ICT industry. We decided to create the local brand platform when the new global brand platform was developed and to not only translate the key terms into Russian, but create relevant content based on the real examples that our customers come across regularly. The BEST BRAND national award represents recognition of our work and credible proof that we are on the right track in delivering on our key values."
This was the first time that Ericsson has launched a complex advertising campaign aimed at improving its marketing and increasing brand awareness in Russia. The campaign was created in cooperation with advertising agencies Lowe Brindfors and Lowe Adventa.
New York Festivals World's Best Television & Films competition honors programming in all lengths and forms from more than 50 countries. Dedicated to both the television and film industries, the award categories mirror today's global trends and encourage the next generation of storytellers.
The 2012 World's Best TV & Films ceremony was held on April 17 in Las Vegas at NAB Show, an annual trade show produced by the US National Association of Broadcasters. The awards are judged online by panels comprising award-winning directors, producers, writers, actors and various other creative media professionals from across the globe.
The Networked Society brand film, created in cooperation with global experiential marketing agency Jack Morton, won two Gold awards.

RSS is dead, isn't it? Well, not if Flux has anything to do with it. It's a simple, but advanced Google Reader for Windows Phone 7 that allows you to say up to date with your feeds on the go.
With a new friendly Mango update, is this the reader to have on WP7? We've been playing with it for the last couple of weeks to find out.
- Platform
- Windows Phone 7
- Price
- 79p
- Where
- Marketplace
Load up the app and you are presented with two screens. Your feeds appear in a nice list order that is easy to access, and there's a "What's new" panel that merges everything into one, in order to give you a quick glance.
Tracking hundreds of feeds that generate thousands of stories every day, we personally found the What's new area a bit of a waste. We can easily see how it could be useful, however, if your subscriptions were in the tens to hundreds rather than hundreds to thousands.
Each tile represents a story, gives you a picture and a headline teasing you in. It is simple, and therefore can be avoided, if you must.
But back to the main focus of the app; once you've connected it to your Google Reader account everything is synced and streamed in accordingly.
And that's handy as it automatically picks up your unread count tally if you've started reading elsewhere. Plus, in the settings, you can opt to only show unread, what to sync and how to sync it.
Feed folders are listed and can be accessed by scrolling through them via a quick swipe left or right.
Pick a feed to read and your stories are listed with an optional picture, the headline and first couple of lines of the story.
Here, you get further filtering options including unread, starred and all. And there is an option to pin that feed to your start page as an interactive tile - which is great if you follow a selection really closely.
Depending on what the feed gives you will depend on how much the app shows you.
You start with the preview pane, but can easily slide across to a mobilised view of the story, or a full view via the apps in-built browser.
The mobilised version is really handy as you can change the font and font size for better readability. It's almost as if you were reading it via a Kindle.
Stories can, at any point, be opened in Internet Explorer, sent via email, added to Instapaper or to Read it Later. There are also the abilities to share it via social networks, share in reader, share to delicious, save to pinboard or save to diigo.
With an offline mode, easy to use interface and plenty of support for sharing, we've really enjoyed using Flux on our WP7 handset, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Barak breaks the 20% rule. Superstitious about the 20% rule, I said nothing about my friend, Barak Obama, who has won (with a healthy 60% majority) the Democratic nomination for Senate in Illinois. Barak was an adjunct at the University of Chicago while I was teaching there, and then just as I left, became a regular professor. He is an astonishingly decent and bright forty-something star. Siva points to a great piece about the race. And keep your eyes on 2012: when he will no longer be known as the 5th whatever, but will become the 3d and 1st in one year. (Consider it the Lessig Sunday Puzzle). [Lessig Blog]
My father is a Chicago politician and gave me in the inside scoop on this election. The old school Chicago Democratic party is still just as strong as it ever was concerning internal, local stuff.
But it's totally losing it's edge and control over statewide or national stuff. They ran an old line cronnie who got hsi ass kicked by Barak.
Congrats to Barak.
Im not sure what you mean by 3d, but I assume 1st is a reference to the first black President. I think Obama would make an excellent President, but I dont think it likely that someone whos name rhymes with Iraq Osama is likely to carry many more states than Illinois. Obama is very popular here in Illinois right now, but it may be prohibitively difficult to make a connection in the other 49.
Incidentally, I have heard at least two other commentators say they expect Obama to be President one day. Anyone who particularly wants to see a President Obama one day should probably start dropping his name in their writings now, and not stop stop until hes elected. (Which, of course, some have begun to do.

It would be very difficult to see every booth at a tradeshow. But isn't it great to come away from a show with a hidden gem that you stumbled upon? Here are a few to put on your schedule. From components for infrastructure to custom MMICs for an aerospace/defense application, these companies just might be the solution you will need in a pinch this year.
If you have been anywhere near a base station lately, no doubt you or someone you know has uttered "passive intermodulation" or "PIM", more than likely with some angst. Unlike low-level noise, which tends to cover broad bandwidths, PIM results in discrete signals that fall within the operating bandwidth of a wireless communications receiver, capable of interfering with desired signals. At sufficiently high magnitudes, PIM distortion can desensitize a communications receiver, resulting in poor quality of calls or even dropped calls. To learn more about PIM and some simple, yet robust cable assembly solutions, stop by some of the industry leading cable companies. San-tron (booth #2219) will be demonstrating how their new line of low-PIM jumper cables deliver PIM performance of -158 dBc standing still and then when heavy vibration is applied, continues to remain extremely stable, degrading just 2 dB.
Does your specific application call for performance not available in a catalog MMIC? Visit the team at Custom MMIC in booth #3210 to learn how attainable a uniquely designed MMIC can actually be. This particular design house offers three levels of engagement including access to their private stock of performance driven designs for rapid delivery. From single-function to multi-function, Custom MMIC is a good fit for companies that wish to outsource their design activity, especially when you need a custom design in a specific compound semiconductor technology such as GaAs, GaN, SiC or InP. Custom MMIC will be demonstrating their latest GaAs MMIC low-noise amplifier (LNA) chip optimized for 30 GHz satellite communications with a typical noise figure of 1.7 dB in their booth. With dozens of years of combined experience designing MMICs for microwave and millimeter-wave applications, it is worth a booth visit to talk about how your own unique design requirements could be realized.
LPKF in booth #2409 may be the biggest tease at the show. There is not an engineer in the business that would not want to have a machine on their bench that outputs their circuit ideas like a desktop printer. Don't believe me? Eighty-five percent of the respondents to Microwave Journal's April online poll question named the PCB prototype milling machine as the most important tool in their design arsenal. I am talking about real boards. Boards that can be tested, tweaked and tried again, without the interruption of going outside to the board house. Sure, it would be great if you could grab one of these at Staples, but unfortunately these German-engineered laser machines cost a couple of bucks. But the payoff in design efficiency is immeasurable and the LPKF booth staff can show you how to sell the value of your productivity to even the stingiest CFO.
Moving from design to manufacturing, other companies using lasers to save the day are Laser Services in booth #215, Thunderline-Z in booth #601 and Litron in booth #2229. With the bulk of vendors highlighting new RF components, software and test instruments, its easy to overlook the smaller group of companies providing manufacturing services, but IMS is a great place to meet the folks who understand the special physical requirements that go into microwave products. Laser Services is an experienced high power laser job shop using YAG and C02lasers to perform any number of laser precise cutting, drilling, marking, etching and welding jobs for you. They maintain a stash of name brand alumina substrates and frozen epoxies andoffer unique design-for-manufacturability solutions such as an innovative laser ablation technique for solder damming.
Many of the components found on the exhibition floor are used in harsh environments and require advanced packaging. Thunderline-Zopenedtheir own laser center last year, focused on augmenting their full-service packaging services. Their solutions include laser lidding and testing of hermetic modules, and laser feedthru installation that will allow you to obtain some of the tightest pin-to-pin tolerances imaginable. Litron Inc. also provides laser welding, laser sealing and laser cutting services for aerospace, industrial and medical components from hi-rel electronic microwave packages to class three medical implant devices.
Speaking of harsh environments, are you working in space or just looking for space-level type design and manufacturing capabilities? Hi-rel multi-chip modules and RF semiconductor packaging solutions are a specialty of KCB Solutions in booth #3513. If you are concerned about thermal or electrical stability in high power applications, talk to them about their new weightless, void-free approach to eutectic die attach.
Wondering where you might possibly turn to handle overflow in production or high frequency test without going off-shore? SemiGen in booth #301 is the partner you're looking for. Microwave assembly and semiconductor packaging is an art that is not lost on this assembly house and they also offer you fast delivery of bonding supplies and diodes and capacitors fromtheir own in-house RF Supply Center.
Speaking of high frequency testing, do you need a signal generator for your ATE set up, but do not need all the bells and whistles of a big brand piece of equipment? Lab Bricks from Vaunix in booth #1129 are a completeline of USB powered, miniature, yet robust, signal generators, attenuators and now an RF switch that are software-controlled and easy to use. Each device comes with a USB flash drive containing the GUI software and digital version of the programming guide, along with a 6-ft. USB cable. The Lab Brick is compatible with NI's Labview so that you can easily incorporate them into your custom test set-up. Several small companies are now offering compact, USB powered testing solutions so look for them at the show.
Have a great show and let me know if I can dig up any other gems for you.

From NIS America and original developer Nicalis comes Cave Story 3D, a game that graphically overhauls a title that really needed no graphical overhaul. How'd that work out? Let's take a quick look.
There's late to the party, and then there's arriving there a couple of years afterwards with a party hat and a bottle of champagne, looking all hopeful. I got to the Cave Story party a bit late, but just in time for the relatively faithful WiiWare port of the original retro-tastic PC indie game.
If you've only just arrived in time for Cave Story 3D, with its 3D polygon graphics and enhanced eye blurring technology, you're incredibly late, and probably need to travel back in time a few years so you can play the original title. That way you can bitch about how much better it was like I do.

Information for Patients
Peripheral Nerve Disorders
Also called: Neuritis, Peripheral neuritis, Peripheral neuropathy
Your peripheral nerves are the ones outside your brain and spinal cord. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral nerve disorders distort or interrupt the messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
There are more than 100 kinds of peripheral nerve disorders. They can affect one nerve or many nerves. Some are the result of other diseases, like diabetic nerve problems. Others, like Guillain-Barre syndrome, happen after a virus infection. Still others are from nerve compression, like carpal tunnel syndrome or thoracic outlet syndrome. In some cases, like complex regional pain syndrome and brachial plexus injuries, the problem begins after an injury. Some people are born with peripheral nerve disorders.
Symptoms often start gradually, and then get worse. They include
- Numbness
- Pain
- Burning or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Sensitivity to touch
Treatment aims to treat any underlying problem, reduce pain and control symptoms.

Shoulder Injuries and Disorders
Your shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone). Your shoulders are the most movable joints in your body. They can also be unstable because the ball of the upper arm is larger than the shoulder socket that holds it. To remain in a stable or normal position, the shoulder must be anchored by muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Because your shoulder can be unstable, it can be easily injured. Common problems include
- Sprains and strains
- Dislocations
- Separations
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Torn rotator cuffs
- Frozen shoulder
- Fractures
- Arthritis
Health care providers diagnose shoulder problems by using your medical history, a physical exam, and imaging tests.
Often, the first treatment for shoulder problems is RICE. This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Other treatments include exercise and medicines to reduce pain and swelling. If those don't work, you may need surgery.

Federal regulators have reached a tentative deal with Carnival Corp. on a plan to reduce air pollution from nearly a third of its cruise ships, but the accord comes too late to reverse at least a temporary loss of lucrative cruise business for Baltimore.
Under the agreement, to be announced today, the Miami-based company pledged to install pollution control equipment on 32 of its ships over the next three years and use it while they cruise in waters near the U.S. coast. During that time, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Coast Guard will exempt those vessels from a pending requirement that they burn less-polluting fuel.
A treaty approved by the International Maritime Organization requires all oceangoing vessels to start using lower-sulfur fuel in 2015 whenever they are within 200 miles of Canada and the United States. The requirement is meant to reduce harmful sulfur and particulate pollution from shipping, a move EPA officials say will yield major air-quality improvements well inland and prevent thousands of premature deaths.

MERRIMACK — A local man is being held on $30,000 cash bail on five counts of possession of child pornography.
Jeffrey M. Arrich, 42, of 38 Erik St., was arrested just after midnight Wednesday at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport .
Police opened a criminal investigation after receiving a report Monday about suspicious items at Arrich's home. After an initial investigation, police obtained a search warrant for the residence and searched it Monday night.
As a result, police said they seized multiple computers and peripheral computer equipment along with images which were later confirmed to be child pornography.
Londonderry and Merrimack police officers were waiting for Arrich at the airport when he arrived Wednesday night and arrested him.
Authorities continue to investigate and are working with members of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
What's next: Arrich is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning in 9th Circuit Court, Merrimack District Division.

The hot, sweet smell of barbecue will pervade Gateway Harbor in North Tonawanda and Tonawanda this weekend as the Smokin' Eagles International BBQ Festival returns.
This will be fourth year the event will be canalside. It began in Wheatfield six years ago under the direction of Wheatfield barbecue expert and barbecue competitor Roy "Honcho" Gregory.
There's no admission for the event, which will feature about 35 competing barbecue teams, about twice as many as last year, according to Rob Giordano, who co-chairs the festival. Giordano owns the Barbecue Shop Inc. in Lewiston.
The festival this year has become a Kansas City Barbecue Society sanctioned event, he explained, and point totals will count towards the Empire State BBQ Championship.
KCBS, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and enjoying barbecue, is the world's largest organization of barbecue and grilling enthusiasts with more than 15,000 members worldwide. KCBS sanctions more than 400 barbeque contests coast-to-coast throughout America. Competitors grill up chicken, pork ribs, pork butt and brisket.
The KCBS competition will be Saturday, Aug. 10, and on Sunday, Aug. 11, there will be a New England Barbecue Society grilling contest (beef, sausage, lamb, veggies and fruit), along with the usual Backyard Barbecue (ribs and chicken) contest and Kids-Q.
Visitors to Smokin' Eagles will find top quality barbecue available from vendors, including some of the competitors.
"Rooster will be back in town from Florida's Skin and Bones Barbecue, bringing 'a little south for your mouth,' " said Gregory.
For $5, visitors can participate in People's Choice, sampling five different vendors and choosing their favorite barbecue.
Other vendors will offer everything from corn on the cob to barbecue supplies.
It's all about barbecue, but there's also entertainment. On Friday evening, Aug. 9, Then and Now and Sudden Urge will perform. On Saturday, there will be karaoke with Richard Rice and two bands, including the Bleeding Hearts. Sunday will feature Tru Fate.
Gregory always selects a charity to benefit from Smokin' Eagles. This year, it will be the Variety Club.
Gates open to the public at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more information, visit www.sebbq.com.

The Lewiston Police Department recently received a pharmaceutical drop-off box from the Niagara County Refuse Department. LPD Chief Chris Salada reports area residents can now visit the Lewiston Police Department at 4059 Creek Road between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and leave their unwanted medications.
"This is a great initiative for a couple of very important reasons," Salada said. "Allowing residents a simple and anonymous way to dispose of their medications will result in less poisons being flushed down the toilet, therefore helping the environment. It also removes medications from residences, eliminating the temptation of drug seekers and hopefully keeping it off the street."
The LPD drop-off location is the second of three drop-off boxes in Niagara County. The Niagara County Sheriff's Office provides a drop-off box just inside the jail entrance, and Niagara Falls Police Department is slated to have their box in service soon.
Salada, pictured, noted the service is for the residents only and not for doctors' offices, veterinarians or pharmacies. Acceptable items include controlled substances, outdated medications, unwanted medications, over-the-counter medications or any pharmaceutical waste that is no longer desired/wanted or is expired. Needles/sharps or mercury-containing devices will not be accepted.
"Residents can come into our office, drop off their unwanted medications without any questions or paperwork to be filled out," Salada said. "These medications are ultimately secured and transported by law enforcement to Covanta in Niagara Falls, where all contents are incinerated."
Any questions about the program can be addressed by calling the LPD at 716-754-8477. (photo by Terry Duffy)

Officials examine footage in effort to identify 2 who boarded with stolen passports
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia's transport minister says authorities are looking at footage of the two passengers who boarded a missing Malaysian Airlines jetliner with stolen passports, as they try to determine who they are.
At a news conference, he says intelligence officials are examining "visuals of these two people."
But he told reporters the focus now is finding the missing plane. He says that would make it easier for authorities to investigate whether it was brought down by foul play.
Meanwhile, Vietnamese authorities are trying to get a closer look at an object that might be a part of the aircraft. They've dispatched ships to check out an object that a search plane spotted in the waters off Vietnam. Officials want to see if it could be a door from the Boeing 777. It's in the same area as where two oil slicks were seen yesterday.
Authorities say an orange object seen in the area earlier turned out not to be from the aircraft.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was carrying 239 people, including three Americans, when it vanished from radar while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

In 1890 the great photojournalist Jacob Riis published his now classic book about immigrant tenement poverty in lower Manhattan, called How the Other Half Lives. During the past few months I have tried to retrace some of Riis's steps through modern New York's pain and deprivation. As New York's (and America's) economy has turned bleaker and bleaker, I hung out in unemployment offices, food-stamp application centers and the occasional job fair, where lines of job-seekers were never short. I traveled around in a van with volunteers from the Coalition for the Homeless as they distributed free hot meals at night to the city's most defeated and destitute inhabitants.
I visited union halls, food pantries, immigrant community centers and the dreadful Emergency Assistance Unit (EAU) in the Bronx. I interviewed community organizers, economists, politicians, leaders of nonprofit advocacy groups–as well as the jobless, homeless and hopeless. I wanted to understand better how the other half lives now, and who was responsible for this misery in the midst of this new, twenty-first-century Gilded Age of excess produced by the money culture, corporate scandal and the concentration of wealth and power.
What I learned was that in some ways little has changed since Riis published his reportorial findings in 1890. The poor are still largely invisible to the complacent majority. Most Americans don't see the everydayness of poverty. It is segregated in "bad neighborhoods" and in impersonal government waiting rooms. We don't see all the people being told there are no applications for food stamps available at that location; all the people postponing medical treatment for their children because they don't have health insurance; all the people trying to find a job with their phone service shut off because they couldn't pay the bill; or all the deliverymen for drugstores and supermarkets paid only $3 an hour, which is illegal.
In one way we are even worse off than we were 113 years ago: We have no Jacob Riis now humanizing poverty, making the satisfied see it and smell it. We have no American Dickens or Orwell, no James Agee and Walker Evans, no Michael Harrington, no John Steinbeck, no Edward R. Murrow.
Something else in addition to poverty's invisibility that harks back to the first Gilded Age is the widening economic disparity between the rich and poor. During the Reagan presidency, the poor lost tremendous ground. And during the Clinton presidency, the rich did fabulously well. In 1998 the top 1 percent of households collected almost 17 percent of the nation's income. And now Bush is proposing a tax cut that gives the richest 5 percent of taxpayers most of the economic gain. This is a class-warfare policy of shooting the wounded and looting the amputees.
What is amazing is that this expansion of inequality took place without ever becoming a noticeable issue in American politics. This growing concentration of wealth has given the superrich domination over politics through extravagant campaign contributions and media ownership, which has made large elements of the media sound like Republican echo chambers. The increasing gap between rich and poor and the erosion of democracy by vast wealth are not hot-button talk-show issues because so few politicians with a national following agitate about them with continuing conviction. Only Ted Kennedy, John McCain and the late Paul Wellstone come to mind. None of the leading Democrats seeking the 2004 presidential nomination are talking about the maldistribution of wealth or mobilizing a new war on poverty or a massive jobs program. Cerebral, suburban Gary Hart was quoted in a February 2 New York Times Magazine profile as saying: "How do you make the principles of equality and justice and fairness work in a time when everyone's well off?" I would gladly take Hart on a tour of New York's communities of sorrow.

Chemoprevention for Head and Neck Cancer
Speaking on "The Genetic and Molecular Basis for Prevention: Head and Neck Cancer as a Model," Dr. Hong described the research that he and his colleagues in the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) have done on this very question for more than ten years. Overall, they have found that chemoprevention with an agent called retinoic acid can reverse lesions in the larynx and return the tissue to a normal appearance. However, as Dr. Hong noted, the "genetic scars" that are associated with cancer remain, suggesting that later cancer development is still a distinct possibility-and that more studies are necessary.
Thus, the talk was an appropriate beginning for the conference's first day of scientific sessions. Dr. Hong's chronological overview of his team's work since the mid-1980s eloquently demonstrated the nature of research as a cumulative process. And the fact that he ended the talk with unanswered questions and plans for future research suggested the importance of the exchanges that will take place in San Antonio over the next three days.
Chemoprevention is the use of natural or synthetic agents to reverse, suppress, or prevent the progression of premalignant disease before it develops into invasive cancer. Dr. Hong pointed out that oral and laryngeal cancers are excellent candidates for chemopreventive studies because of the easily identifiable precancerous lesions that develop first (for example, the white mouth patches called leukoplakia that develop into oral cancer). These cancers also prevent certain treatment challenges. In addition to dealing with the cancerous lesions, physicians must look forward to the possibility of three main "roadblocks": local-regional recurrence, distant metastases, and the development of second primary tumors. Combining molecular, genetic, and treatment studies, Dr. Hong and his colleagues set out to determine whether chemoprevention with an agent called retinoic acid could actually halt the process whereby precancerous lesions turn into cancer. Their concern was not just with returning the abnormal tissue to normal, but also correcting defects at the molecular and genetic levels-in other words, correcting not just appearance but the biological basis for the disease.
Dr. Hong outlined the series of clinical trials that were conducted in the mid-1980s through the early 1990s. These studies demonstrated that chemopreventive therapy using retinoic acid (more specifically, high-dose 13-cis-retinoic acid) reversed the development of oral leukoplakia and prevented the development of second primary tumors in patients who had been cured of an initial cancer. But there was one "catch": once the retinoid treatment was stopped, its protective effect started to decline after three years. As time passed, the rate of cancer development for those participating in the trial was the same, regardless of whether or not they had received the retinoid treatment. In other words, said Dr. Hong, the "biological effect" was only temporary. Also, the researchers found that, while some patients were responsive to the therapy, others were "retinoid resistant."
Through molecular studies, said Dr. Hong, the researchers were able to identify some of the biological reasons behind retinoid resistance. The suppression of a certain Retinoic Acid Receptor, or RAR, appeared to play a role in early-stage head and neck carcinogenesis, suggesting a breakdown in the hormone signaling pathway that would allow retinoic acid to take effect. More advanced premalignant lesions that were therapy-resistant also were associated with p53 protein expression and genetic instability. This led the researchers to look for ways to combine chemopreventive therapy with biological therapy, in an attempt to overcome this resistance.
Dr. Hong described how he and his colleagues developed yet another clinical trial, this one involving patients with moderate to severe dysplasia of the mouth and larynx. Some patients received the chemopreventive retinoid therapy along with vitamin E and the immune-system booster interferon. The results, which were just published last month, showed what Dr. Hong called "a striking difference in response by site." Lesions of the larynx were much more responsive to this combined therapy than oral lesions, with the tissues returning to a strikingly normal appearance. But molecular studies showed that "there were persistent genetic changes, even in those who responded," said Dr. Hong. While p53 mutations were found to be less frequent, certain abnormal genetic changes-what Dr. Hong called "genetic scars"-persisted. He suggested that this was in line with researchers' earlier conclusion about retinoid chemoprevention: while it may delay cancer onset, perhaps it cannot prevent cancer development completely.
Dr. Hong closed his research overview by posing the question that he and his colleagues now want to answer: "Can you get rid of these persistent genetic scars?" In other words, could molecularly-targeted chemoprevention work? He described how the group is now focused on studies that would integrate p53 gene therapy with retinoid-based chemoprevention. In other words, researchers will attempt to lower p53 expression in precancerous lesions before administering the chemoprevention. Dr. Hong also reviewed his work on developing a risk model for the development of second primary tumors that combines genetic, molecular, and behavioral factors. He pointed out that such a model could provide the basis for tailoring chemoprevention to the particular situation.
While more studies remain to be done, the work done thus far provides a useful glimpse into the research process-and the promise of the newest strategies for halting the carcinogenic process before tissues actually become cancerous.

Views that incorporate this intuition
The intuition that happiness consists of the absence of suffering is common in non-Western traditions, especially in Buddhism.
NIKE Womens Tempo Short Sport Fuchsia/Glacier Blu hmnv43IF
It is also a central part of Epicureanism. 15 Finally, it may constitute part of the explanation why a lot of people reject versions of consequentialism where the happiness of the many can outweigh the suffering of a few.
In addition to valuing suffering reduction, we might care about our personal well-being, about us and others fulfilling their dearest dreams and life-goals, about happiness and there being love and joy in the world, and many other, similar objectives. Interestingly, these other values beside concern for suffering often seem to be bounded, i.e. they seem to quickly reach diminishing returns once we optimize for them successfully.
Repugnant Conclusion 16 Imagine there is a civilization with ten billion maximally happy inhabitants who never experience any suffering. We have the option to introduce more lives and overall more happiness to the world by multiplying the number of people in that civilization by a factor of one billion. However, the way to bring about this population explosion will also lower the quality of life for all the beings, old and new. In the new civilization with ten billion billion people, each person will experience a lot of mild suffering, a decent amount of moderate suffering, and even some moments of strong suffering. People will also be happy a lot, such that most outsiders, as well as all the people themselves, would on the whole regard their existences as worth living. Should we choose to bring about the much larger, less happy civilization, or do we prefer the small(ish) but maximally happy one?Repugnant Conclusion
While there are some people who argue for accepting the repugnant conclusion (Tännsjö, 2004), most people would probably prefer the smaller but happier civilization – at least under some circumstances. One explanation for this preference might lie in intuition one discussed above, "Making people happy rather than making happy people." However, this is unlikely to be what is going on for everyone who prefers the smaller civilization: If there was a way to double the size of the smaller population while keeping the quality of life perfect, many people would likely consider this option both positive and important. This suggests that some people do care (intrinsically) about adding more lives and/or happiness to the world. But considering that they would not go for the larger civilization in the Repugnant Conclusion thought experiment above, it also seems that they implicitly place diminishing returns on additional happiness, i.e. that the bigger you go, the more making an overall happy population larger is no longer (that) important.
After 244 years, the Encyclopaedia Britannica is going out of print.
Those coolly authoritative, gold-lettered reference books that were once sold door-to-door by a fleet of traveling salesmen and displayed as proud fixtures in American homes will be discontinued, company executives said. In an acknowledgment of the realities of the digital age — and of competition from the Web site Wikipedia — Encyclopaedia Britannica will focus primarily on its online encyclopedias and educational curriculum for schools. The last print version is the 32-volume 2010 edition, which weighs 129 pounds and includes new entries on global warming and the Human Genome Project.
"It's a rite of passage in this new era," Jorge Cauz, the president of Encyclopaedia Britannica Inc., a company based in Chicago, said in an interview. "Some people will feel sad about it and nostalgic about it. But we have a better tool now. The Web site is continuously updated, it's much more expansive and it has multimedia."
In the 1950s, having the Encyclopaedia Britannica on the bookshelf was akin to a station wagon in the garage or a black-and-white Zenith in the den, a possession coveted for its usefulness and as a goalpost for an aspirational middle class. Buying a set was often a financial stretch, and many families had to pay for it in monthly installments.
But in recent years, print reference books have been almost completely overtaken by the Internet and its vast spread of resources, including specialized Web sites and the hugely popular — and free — online encyclopedia Wikipedia.
Since it was started 11 years ago, Wikipedia has moved a long way toward replacing the authority of experts with the wisdom of the crowds. The site is now written and edited by tens of thousands of contributors around the world, and it has been gradually accepted as a largely accurate and comprehensive source, even by many scholars and academics.
Wikipedia also regularly meets the 21st-century mandate of providing instantly updated material. And it has nearly four million articles in English, including some on pop culture topics that would not be considered worthy of a mention in the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Mr. Cauz said that he believed Britannica's competitive advantage with Wikipedia came from its prestigious sources, its carefully edited entries and the trust that was tied to the brand.
This novel earned a good 4.6 stars on Amazon. From a writing craft point of view, this opening page needs editing right from the start. Here's an opportunity to immerse the reader into a clearly traumatic and danger-fraught scene, and we get sentences such as:
Really? Considerable trepidation? When you're waking up in the dark after being shot in the head? And then there's the string of odd alternatives for his situation that include tigers. Really? This is what's going on in the character's mind after being shot in the head? More than that, all this considerably irrelevant exposition keeps the following from being on the first page:
And yet . . . the opening sentence is a strong hook that raises a strong story question. The question is reinforced with the information buried in the text about the high-school chum aiming a pistol at his forehead. That was enough to get me to turn the page to see the segment above. But the writing had better improve rapidly or I'm outta there. Your thoughts?

Here's the opening page of The Depths . Would you read on? How does it perform? Should this author have hired an editor?
"Hello?" Jen answered the phone in an agitated, yet confused tone. Who was calling at this hour? It was past ten o'clock on a Wednesday night, and Jen normally would have been pouring herself a glass of red wine before bed.
No response.
Again, she spoke into the cellphone. Louder and more direct this time. "Hello?" She heard shuffling on the other end; fumbling. Then a breathy sound.
It sounded like breathing, but no words were spoken. She frowned, taking her phone from her ear and pressing "End." The number flashed once—an unknown caller—and then was replaced by the home screen.
Weird, she thought. It must have been a wrong number or an accidental dial. Her son, twelve-year-old Reese, would have called it a "butt dial" or something like that. She laughed to herself, placing the phone back into her coat pocket.
A gust of brisk February air forced Jen to walk faster. Her car was on the other end of the commuter lot, a five-minute walk from the campus. After tonight's lecture, she'd stayed late answering questions and grading some papers before leaving the darkened halls of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.
Mark Adams, her husband, hadn't called, meaning everything with Reese was (snip)
This novel earned a 3.8 stars on Amazon. Two things impact my votes on turning the page. The first, and most important, is tension created in me by a compelling story question. Even so, the quality of the writing is the second important thing to consider. In fact, really high-caliber writing and voice can provoke a page turn even if the story question isn't that strong.

If you are asked to describe "wellness" what would you say? Would you focus on aspects of physical health such as diet and exercise, or consider body, mind and spirit? Would you relate wellness to younger people and consider older adults as "unwell" based primarily on age?
The answers are not as simple as "yes" or "no" because more than just biology influences overall well-being. Wellness as a state of health involves many dimensions that make up the whole person. In addition to the six dimensions, some people believe environment and financial are other wellness factors.
Knowing that 79% of health education is focused on the physical aspects,2 many a well-intended person may inadvertently focus on biological parameters to gauge the well-being of older adults and overlook the holistic approach. It is true that older adults are likely to experience at least one or more chronic illnesses, but on a health-illness continuum, older people remain capable of an optimal state of wellness at some level. At any age, lifestyle choices and personal responsibility for wellness decisions influence the quality of our lives. Using anything less than a holistic approach increases vulnerability for harm due to the potential for missed diagnoses. It also limits options for optimizing health and wellness.
Dr. Bill Hettler, a graduate of the NetWellness.org College of Medicine, is credited with developing an interdependent, holistic or whole-person wellness model as an approach to healthy living for people of all ages. His holistic approach is particularly important for older adults to understand. The Six Dimensions of Wellness Model emphasizes that teaching people how to live and influencing healthy life choices would have much greater impact on survival than anything physicians are likely to accomplish.
Professionals who take a holistic or wellness approach may face barriers when working with older adults. The following are a few potential barriers and suggested actions.
Evidence confirms that the interaction of all dimensions contributes to overall wellness more so than any single aspect of well-being in older adults.5 When professionals perceive older adults through a paradigm of whole-person wellness versus illness; there is increased opportunity to focus on their strengths and capabilities, rather than on deficits and decline that support a negative stereotype of aging.
The following questions may serve to guide professionals in applying the wellness model.

In LLPSI Orberg scripsit:
Inter eos ludos feminae Troianae, cum eas longi erroris taederet, naves incenderunt..
Now my understanding is that that which is being tired is in accusative and that which is the thing of which one is tired is in genitive. But what determines the number of taederet? Why doesn't this sentence read:

Symptoms of Ear Infection
Topic Overview
Ear pain may be the first symptom of an ear infection, especially if you have moderate to severe ear pain during or shortly after you have a cold. Other symptoms of an ear infection may include:
- Swelling, heat, or tenderness around or behind the ear.
- Redness of the ear, ear canal, or skin around or behind the ear.
- Drainage from the ear that does not look like earwax.
- Itching of the ear or ear canal.
- Fever.
Several different parts of the ear can become infected.
- Ear pain and fever may be caused by a middle ear infection (acute otitis media), especially if cold symptoms, such as a runny or stuffy nose or a cough, have been present for a few days.
- Ear pain may also be caused by a fluid-filled blister on the eardrum (bullous myringitis).
- Itching, a feeling of fullness in the ear, and pain that is worse when you chew, press on the "tag" in front of your ear, or wiggle your earlobe may be caused by an infection of the ear canal (otitis externa).
- You may have an infection of the outer ear (cellulitis).
Complications of a middle ear infection can be caused by other serious problems.
- Redness, swelling, pain behind the ear, and fever may be caused by an infection of the bone located behind the ear (mastoiditis). Pain will get worse when you press on the bone behind the ear. This infection is rare and usually occurs 10 to 14 days after a middle ear infection.
- Headache with severe stiff neck, irritability, confusion, and excessive sleepiness may be caused by an infection of the lining of the brain (meningitis).
- Severe dizziness (vertigo) and hearing loss may be caused by swelling and irritation in the inner ear (labyrinthitis).
If you have symptoms of an ear infection or think that complications of an ear infection are developing, call your doctor for an evaluation.
