Relations between Germany and Syria, which used to be excellent under Emperor Wilhelm II, are today abysmal. This is because since the Cold War, Berlin has become the backyard for the Muslim Brotherhood in their attempt to overthrow the Syrian Arab Republic. Since 2012, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the federal think-tank SWP have been working directly on behalf of the US deep state for the destruction of the country.

Initiative 6:
Build spatial learning as a field
Initiative Coordinators: Nora Newcombe (PI), Sian Beilock, Thomas F. Shipley
Many areas of learning, such as language acquisition or reading, have a well-established infrastructure of conferences, journals, databases and so forth that encourage collaboration and the sharing of resources. By contrast, the infrastructure for research on spatial learning is just beginning. This initiative is aimed at changing this situation, in order to create a sound basis for research and education in this area, which can benefit investigators within and outside SILC and become self-sustaining beyond the duration of Center funding.
Please, check out the following link, which has information on our developing Thematic Network in Spatial Cognition (http://www.silccenter.org/index.php/savi-thematic-network-in-spatial-cognition), supported by The National Science Foundation's Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI).
Past Events:
♦ Nora Newcombe, SILC PI (Temple University) and L. Elizabeth Crawford (University of Richmond) organized a symposium to bring together researchers investigating spatial memory and related topics. The goal was to foster cooperation, collaboration and exchange of ideas among researchers working from a variety of theoretical perspectives. The conference, Spatial Memory: Bayes and Beyond, was held in May 2013 at the University of Richmond.
♦ Members of our Spatial Network (Daniel Montello, Mary Hegarty, Christoph Hoelscher and Thomas Barkowsky) organized a summer institute on the topic area of spatial cognition: International Spatial Cognition Summer Institute (ISCSI) 2013, August 11-25, 2013, University of California, Santa Barbara.
♦ David Uttal is a member of the Geographic Sciences Education Research Committee of the The Road Map Project (funded by NSF), spearheaded by The National Geographic Society. Our charge was to set an agenda for geography education research in the coming decade. The panel included a variety of researchers from different disciplines. Read the final reports here: https://www.nationalgeographic.org/education/programs/road-map-project/
♦ Thomas F Shipley and Dedre Gentner (Co-PI) guest edited a special issue of Cognitive Processing on Spatial learning and reasoning processes. The special issue has target articles and short reports on development of spatial thinking, assessing representations and processing of complex spatial relations, and the role of spatial thinking in science education.
♦ Specialist Meeting: Spatial Thinking Across the College Curriculum, December 10-11, 2012, The Center for Spatial Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara.
♦ Fifth International Conference on Spatial Cognition (ICSC 2012), September 4-8, 2012, Rome, Italy. See our SILC Showcase highlighting SILC participation in this event: Showcase October 2012: Two Spatial Cognition Conferences and SILC Participation.
♦ David Uttal, SILC Faculty Member, co-chaired Spatial Cognition 2012 (SC 2012), August 31 - September 3, Abbey "Kloster Seeon" in Bavaria, Germany. More information: http://sc2012.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/.
♦ In July 2012 there was a follow-up workshop in Germany to the 2011 NYC Spatial Cognition in Architectural Design (SCAD) workshop.
♦ Thomas F. Shipley co-convened (with Mary Hegarty, Carol Ormand, and Eric Riggs) the Spatial Thinking Journal Club, which is part of the On the Cutting Edge faculty professional development program (NSF funded, NAGT sponsored), January-May 2012.
♦ Thomas F. Shipley, Mehul Bhatt and Christoph Hölscher co-chaired the SILC sponsored SCAD-11 Spatial Cognition for Architectural Design, November 16-19 2011, New York, New York. http://www.sfbtr8.spatial-cognition.de/cosy/Events/SCAD-11/
♦ Thomas F. Shipley co-chaired with Laura Carlson and Christoph Hölscher CogSci 2011 Expanding the Space of Cognitive Science 33rd annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society July 20 - July 23, 2011, Boston, Massachusetts. http://cognitivesciencesociety.org/conference2011/index.html
♦ Thomas F. Shipley co-convened the Temporal Learning Journal Club, which is part of the On the Cutting Edge faculty professional development program (NSF funded, NAGT sponsored), January-May 2011.
♦ As part of our effort to build the field, SILC hosted Spatial Cognition 2010 (Mt. Hood/Portland, Oregon, August 15-19), an international biannual conference that brings together psychologists, geographers, neuroscientists and computer scientists.
Proceedings can be ordered from Amazon.com.
♦ Nora Newcombe (PI) presented a talk, Early Education for Spatial Intelligence: Why, What and How, on June 17, 2010, 6:00pm in Bremen, Germany.

BRUSSELS, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- A meeting Monday between the Ukrainian and European officials was conducted in a positive light but reforms are needed, the European Commission president said.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych met in Brussels with European leaders to discuss political association. The European Union said last week that a partnership agreement could be signed in November if "tangible progress" is made in selective justice and international election standards.
President of the European Commission Jose Barroso said Monday's talks with the Ukrainian president were "positive ... very open and constructive."
"Ukraine is already a member of the European family of nations and we want all Ukrainians to enjoy the benefits of that, through the signing and entering into force of the Association Agreement and the Free Trade Agreement," he said in a statement.
Ukraine's parliamentary elections last year were described as a political setback. The European Union has also expressed concern about what is sees as selective justice targeting opponents of Yanukovych.
Barroso said "deep reforms" are required from Kiev before it can step closer to the European community.
Members of the Ukrainian Parliament last week passed a resolution in favor of European integration.

Wireless Carriers Finally Cave On Overage Fees; Reluctantly Agree To Stop Treating Customers Like ATMs
from the it'd-be-a-great-racket-if-it-wasn't-for-these-stupid-customers dept
To wit:
"For accounts that repeatedly go into overage, it is reasonable to infer that it is a matter of consumer choice. These customers are either indifferent to overages or are making the deliberate decision to incur overages because it is the most cost-efficient solution for their usage patterns."Or maybe, just maybe, customers wanted to be informed of these possible overage charges but no cell phone company was interested in telling them. While tools are available for consumers to track their own usage, this is not something that's promoted very heavily (or indeed, at all) by most phone companies.
Well, the FCC has finally stared down the wireless carriers, who have decided to voluntarily (through gritted teeth) implement many of the rules suggested by the FCC, rather than deal with being regulated by the government.
Customers will receive free text alerts in real-time when they're about to exceed their limits, CNET reports. The move is supposed to cut down on the "bill shock" people may feel when hit with sky-high rates for extra usage. Wireless carriers will also warn customers who travel overseas about the additional fees they may incur.Of course, this being a government-related decision (and one performed under presumable duress), don't expect to be notified any time soon.
Under the volunteer measures, wireless carriers have 18 months to put their warning systems in place.Not only that, but your months-away warnings may not be timely enough, especially for those of you with notorious text-fiends (read: teenage children) on your mobile plans.
Some providers, including AT&T and Verizon Wireless, already warn their customers as their data use approaches the limit. However, these warnings may be delayed. AT&T, for example, takes 24 hours.24 hours?!? That's like 3 years of texting for normal users! The good news is that sometime within the next two years, your mobile carrier may have to speed up its notification system to something approaching "real time."
Until then, you may want to consider switching to an unlimited plan or putting your kids up for adoption, whichever is cheaper.

DOVER, Del. - Wesley College piled up 649 yards of total offense in a 53-14 win over Muhlenberg in the first round of the NCAA Division III Football Championships.
Justin Sottilare (Columbia, Md./Oakland Mills) threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns, including three to Ellis Krout (Dallas, Texas/Roosevelt) and Askia Jahad (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown) and Brandon Wright (Clayton, N.J./Clayton) both rushed for over 100 yards in the game.
The Wolverines forced a punt on the first possession by the Mules and on the third offensive play of the game for the offense, Sottilare went deep to DeAndre Fowlkes (Paulsboro, N.J./Paulsboro) for 45 yards and a 7-0 lead.
The Wolverines' next two scoring drives were each 11-play marches down the field. Sottilare and Krout hooked up for their first score of the day to give Wesley a 13-0 lead after the first quarter. In the second quarter, Wright rushed for a 19-yard touchdown and a 19-0 lead.
Another big play extended the lead to 26-0 at the half. Sottilare hit Krout for a 58-yard touchdown after a fourth down conversion by Muhlenberg failed.
Wesley opened the second half with a 10-play drive that ended with a two-yard strike from Sottilare to Krout and a 40-0 lead.
Chris Cummings (Newark, Del./Newark) opened the fourth quarter with a 63-yard touchdown to Fowlkes.
Muhlenberg got on the board midway through the fourth quarter with a big play of their own. Dan Dieghan hit Isaiah Vaughn for a 45-yard touchdown. The Mules then recovered an onsides kick and scored six plays later on a three-yard run by Terrence Dandridge.
A 58-yard touchdown run by Jahad capped the scoring.
Jahad rushed for 140 yards on just 12 carries, while Wright tallied 104 on 17 rushes. Sottilare went 21-of-27 on the day and both Krout and Fowlkes topped 100 yards receiving.
Chris Mayes (Waldorf, Md./Westlake) had four tackles on the day, all for loss and a sack.
Deighan finished strong, completing 11 of his last 14 passes to finish 18-of-33 for 172 yards. Vaughn ended the day with 97 yards. He finished the day with a team-high 70 rushinhg yards. Dandridge was held to just 27 yards on 11 carries.

Brentwood Toilet Repair
Is your home or building's toilet damaged, blocked or not working properly? Toilets can fail for a variety of reasons, from blockages caused by tissues and sanitary products to worn out internal components that prevent the toilet from flushing properly.
Sometimes, blocked drains can also affect your toilet, resulting in gurgling sounds, a foul odor and little or no water pressure in the toilet cistern. Even relatively small issues such as a broken or damaged seal can cause serious problems in your bathroom.
We specialize in toilet repair and can repair your toilet to perfect working condition, install new replacement toilets or fix a blocked toilet pipe. For more information or to talk to our plumbing technicians, please contact us now on 877-959-7030.
Common Toilet-Related Plumbing Issues in Brentwood
Your toilet is something you'll normally use every day, making it important to keep it in working condition. A broken or damaged toilet can be a serious annoyance that affects your ability to stay in your home.
There are several common problems that can affect modern toilets. The most common issue is a blocked or clogged drain. Over time, toilet paper, tissues and other sanitary products can build up inside the toilet pipe, creating a blockage that prevents the toilet from flushing.
If these substances completely block the drain, it's possible that the toilet could start overflowing and spilling dirty water into your bathroom.
Other common toilet-related issues include broken or damaged internal components, which can prevent your toilet from flushing properly. Often, it only takes one broken part inside the cistern to prevent your toilet from working at all.
Finally, many toilet problems are caused by other plumbing issues. For example, a blockage in your home's main sewer line can prevent your toilet from flushing properly and reduce in nasty odors and gurgling sounds due to changes in pressure in the drain.
We Can Quickly Identify and Fix Toilet Problems
Our experienced team of plumbing technicians specializes in fixing toilet problems, ranging from broken cistern components to blocked drains. We can quickly identify the source of your toilet's issues and perform a thorough, reliable repair and service Brentwood.
In cases where your toilet is not functioning properly because of a sewer line blockage, broken drain or other issues, we can perform a drain repair or sewer line cleaning to remove the primary cause of the problem.
We can also replace broken components within your toilet to fix the flushing mechanism. Finally, if your toilet is damaged and needs to be replaced, we can quickly and efficiently install a brand new toilet in its place.
Finally, small repairs such as sealing leaks and replacing your toilet's wax bowl ring are never a problem for our Brentwood experienced technicians.
Act Quickly to Avoid Damage to Your Home
While most toilet problems are an inconvenience rather than a danger, some problems can often indicate a larger plumbing issue that needs to be repaired. For example, a foul smell from your toilet can often be the result of a damaged sewer line that's leaking wastewater.
In some cases, these problems can cause damage to your home, ranging from flooring and wall damage to flooding in your yard, garden, and driveway. Sewer-related problems can also lead to stagnant, dirty water flowing out from your toilet and into your bathroom.
It's important to act quickly if you notice a blocked drain, leaking seal or other issues that affect your toilet. Remember, even a problem that seems small can quickly result in serious damage to your home's building and decorating materials.

Oak plumbing is fantastic. I had to employ them from out of state to assist my invalid father's home repairs. I was very happy with the way they took care of him in my absence. Once I was able to check on things later they were done correctly and I will definitely use them in the future.

Contract is designed to improve access, sharing and security of information
Nine government contractors have been named to the Defense Department's Software, Networks, Information, Modeling and Simulation (SNIM) Technology Support Contract.
The five-year, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, which was awarded May 24, is worth up to $2 billion. The companies will now compete with each other for work under the contract.
The nine awardees are:
The contract is designed to improve access, sharing and security of information, according to a statement issued June 3 by contract winner Alion Science and Technology Corp.
SNIM consolidates the customer-funded efforts of three of the DOD's Information Analysis Centers, which are under the direction of the Defense Technical Information Center.
They act as clearinghouses for expertise and assistance with technical challenges, the Alion statement said.
The contract combines technical area tasks previously performed under the Data and Analysis Center for Software, the Information Assurance Technology Analysis Center and the Modeling and Simulation Information Analysis Center.
Alion currently operates the Modeling and Simulation Information Analysis Center on behalf of the department, along with two other information analysis centers that focus on weapons systems technology and advanced materials, manufacturing and testing.
Alion's team includes General Dynamics Information Technology Inc., IBM, Ciber and Accenture as well as dozens of small-business partners that have specialized capabilities in related technical areas.

Family argument leads to shooting death
A late Wednesday night argument between two cousins left one man dead after he was shot with a rifle.
Police responded to a call of shots fired at the 10000 block of Dusty Lane Feb. 27 at about 11:12 p.m. to find 41-yea-old Lorenzo Simon of Beaumont laying in a drainage ditch with a single gun shot wound to his lower body, according to a BPD press release.
EMS arrived shortly thereafter and Simon was rushed to the hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.
After interviewing witnesses on the scene, police arrested Lance Jaccoby Moore, 26, of Beaumont. According to the witnesses, the two men had been embroiled in a heated argument when Moore used a rifle to shoot Simon, the press release said.
Moore gave a statement to detectives and witnesses on the scene and Moore was booked in the Jefferson County Jail on one count of murder-family violence.
An autopsy has been ordered by Judge Chesson.
Moore's bond has not been set, according to the press release.

Penguins Recall Defenseman Joe Morrowby Staff Writer / Pittsburgh Penguins
|Joe Morrow
The Pittsburgh Penguins have recalled defenseman Joe Morrow from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League, it was announced by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero.
Morrow, 20, will be looking to make his NHL debut Sunday night against New Jersey. The 6-foot-1, 204-pound blueliner has spent his first professional season with WBS, tallying 10 points (2G-8A) in 39 games played.
Morrow, who was drafted by the Penguins in the first round (23rd overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft, has posted two points (1G-1A) and a plus-5 rating over his last nine AHL games.
The Edmonton, Alberta native spent the previous four seasons playing for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League (WHL). Last season, Morrow was named to the WHL First-Team All-Star squad after ranking second among all WHL D-men with 64 points (17G-47A) in 62 regular-season games.
Morrow's 17 postseason points (4G-13A) in 2011-12 tied him with fellow Portland teammate and Penguins prospect Derrick Pouliot for the lead among WHL blueliners. The duo helped lead the Winterhawks to the WHL final.
Morrow's father, Dave, was drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1977 NHL Draft and played with the Indianapolis Racers of the now-defunct World Hockey Association (WHA). His brother, Josh, was drafted 203rd overall by the Nashville Predators in 2002.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Luck of the Irish
After completing some Manny missions, you'll receive a call from Mallorie. She'll let you know that she has yet another friend in Bohan that might be able to use your assistance. Remember -- money is money! Head over to a location on the map marked by an E, which is an apartment building west of San Quentin Avenue. Once nearby, run out of your car and into the building. You'll meet Elizabeta, Mallorie's friend, as well as another character named Patrick McReary. It's Patrick that really needs your help here.
After the conversation ends in the apartment (Mallorie will remind you to give Michelle a call when you can -- good advice if you haven't done so recently), you'll be brought outside. Here, a brief conversation will occur where Patrick will let Niko know that he doesn't trust the guys that he's about to deal with, and needs you to sit on a nearby roof with a rifle to watch the situation unfold. He calls you his "guardian angel". How sweet.

I'm opposed to mandatory helmet laws, not helmets. There is a subtle difference - see if you can spot it. I always wear a helmet racing - more to protect my scalp from lacerations and grazes on the off-chance I fall (I've not fallen off a bicycle since I was 10 years old...and there were no helmets back then - how did all those children survive!?). I understand the physics of what they can and can not protect me from and I ride accordingly.
trickle wrote:Bet his family would love to hear your views!
It is an insult to his family to even suggest that wearing a polystyrene hat would have made any difference. You do realise he was travelling at approximately 80km/h at impact and the senior tour Doctor said a helmet would have made no difference whatsoever. It gives the family far more comfort knowing that no helmet (motorcycle or otherwise) would have made the slightest difference; but feel free to spread the gospel.
Have you even read the AS/NZS2063 Standard for bicycle helmets and the testing procedures (AS/NZS2512) - very similar to the EN1078 standard? I bet you haven't... The testing procedure includes impact test(s) at only 19.5km/h and the helmet has to only not 'fail' (ie. crack) to pass the test.
trickle wrote:And there you go again, defending yourself breaking a law. You are not experienced, just lucky... so far.
There is no such thing as luck, or faeries, or god(s) or leprechauns but feel free to believe.
By the way, the other fellow in the video has a medical certificate to allow him to ride without a helmet - I suppose you have a problem with that? How do you know I don't have one too...

However, it might be easy to fix a few of the issues that can happen together with your ice maker yourself. But, when you're doubtful, call an Oc Ice Maker repairman. Listed here are some repairs which are normally inside the average home owner's capability to repair.
You know an ice maker fits within the refrigerator freezer. To be able to make ice, the ice maker requires a constant way to obtain water. Water is provided with a tube for an inlet valve that is attached to the ice maker. Once the ice maker needs water, an inlet valve opens and also the water is allowed in to the ice cube mold, where it's frozen into ice. Within the unit there's a thermostat that senses the ice is prepared.
After it senses the right temperature, a heater is triggered which slices the ice surface and also the ejector rotor blades which are built-in push the ice which are ready in to the bin. This ice making cycle continues before the ice bin is filled. The whole operation turns off following the bin is full.
One problem that frequently happens happens when the ice maker ether makes a significant amount of ice or perform ice whatsoever. There has been other cases when small , hollow ice were created. You will find several causes of this. When troubleshooting, make sure to keep your user's manual that is included with the refrigerator or ice maker before you, to ensure that you'll better comprehend the testing and repair methods.

When the ice maker is making an excessive amount of ice, there might be an issue with the shutoff switch and shutoff arm. To check both components you have to first take away the face plate around the ice maker and try out the components using the test probes beneath the ice maker. If either or both of them are broken, you have to replace them. Could also be an issue with the thermostat. Make sure switch the thermostat if you're able to determine that it's bad.
Another prevalent problem with ice makers is it makes too little if any ice. This is actually consequence of numerous causes like a damaged or clogged water supply line, an inlet valve that's faulty, or perhaps a faulty shutoff arm. It's also wise to browse the line that provides water for leaks or kinks that could be obstructing or stopping waterflow and drainage. When the supply lines are beyond repair, buy a new supply line and change it. One more reason for any low way to obtain water can also be a faulty water filtration. That must also be looked into and changed if required.
Should you can't find an issue with water supply type of the shutoff, one more reason for the possible lack of ice might be the freezer temperature to become excessive. Make certain the freezer temperatures are sufficient to create ice.
Apart from this stuff, look into the water inlet valve and ejector motor because they may require changed. If you're getting ice which are not big enough might be the ice cube size controller might be set wrong, which you'll change. Ultimately, for those who have examined all of the likely causes but you just want to know what the issue is, it's time to a repairman.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - An Orange County man says he was forced to shoot his neighbor in the stomach after being threatened with a screwdriver.
Deputies have not released the names of anyone involved, but said the gunshot victim was in critical condition at Orlando Regional Medical Center.
The shooting happened around 4:15 p.m. Friday at the Conway Circle mobile home park near Conway Road and Hoffner Avenue.
The gunman told investigators he was working on a home when another resident tried to cut through the property and an argument broke out.
The gunman told deputies that's when the other resident pulled out a screwdriver and threatened him, so he opened fire.
"I was laying on my couch and I thought what I heard (were) firecrackers," said Melissa Strahla, who lives nearby.
Another neighbor, Maria Cruz, drove the man to the hospital.
"He told me he needed help and he can't talk because he had a lot of pain," said Cruz.

Space, Light, Color!—a special exhibit organized by art and science professors—features interactive lighting installations designed by graduate students in a newly developed "Lighting and Technology" course that resulted from a collaboration between two very different departments.
Professors Anna Gitelman, who teaches interior architecture and design at Suffolk's New England School of Art & Design, and Patricia Hogan of physics & engineering collaborated in developing the "Lighting and Technology" course.
Hogan's expertise brought technical elements to Gitelman's art school class, offering students the opportunity to explore new ideas, research, and technologies in lighting.
Hogan also helped with the grant proposal process, and the collaborative effort between the two departments is funded by the Nuckolls Fund for Lighting Education, with lighting fixture donations from Lumenpulse.
Concepts and creation
Gitelman said that one of the most important aspects of the course was the creation process itself. Not all courses allow students to move beyond concepts and into the physical building process, but having this opportunity helped students learn about the possibilities and limitations of their designs.
"The biggest learning moment for them was when they saw that everything they envisioned on paper might not work in the building process," says Gitelman. "When something didn't work, they had to figure out how to fix it."
But the art students and science students did not seek solutions in a vacuum. Professional designers, scientists, artists, lighting experts, and engineers were brought in to share their knowledge and offer needed advice.
One student in particular stood out as a professional in his own right.
Electrical engineering major and graduating senior Norh Asmare was vital to the creation of Space, Light, Color!
"The entire success of the program hinged on his ability to make the designers' ideas function the way they wanted them to," says Hogan.
Asmare was able to hold his own as the sole undergraduate student working on the project.
His programing knowledge was the basis of his participation, but Asmare was motivated by his genuine curiosity about the subject.
"What helped the most was my interest in this. My prior experience was certainly important but I would not have put this much time into it if I wasn't so interested," says Asmare. "I learned so much more about my own field and lighting."
He used his expertise in the developmental and programming stages of the exhibit, worked alongside Lumenpulse engineers to eliminate any glitches with the installations, and provided in-depth consultations to the design students to help bring their concepts to reality.
"Norh is a tremendous asset to the Department of Physics and Electrical Engineering and will be an excellent representative for our programs when he graduates in May," says Hogan. "His work exemplifies the interdisciplinary skill set that is necessary in the 21st century scientific and technical marketplace."
The completed installation demonstrates the meticulous work that was put into the course projects.
"It came out very well. All of them were extremely pleased with the outcome," says Gitelman.
The exhibit ran through May 5, 2014, at the New England Schoolor Art & Design.

Bay Area Hospital is a tobacco-free campus.
We provide some of the most advanced and compassionate care in the region.
Whether you are receiving care or visiting a loved one, our goal is to make your stay with us a positive one.

We are continually looking for opportunities to improve our organization and keep our community informed.
Living wills and other advance directives describe your treatment preferences in end-of-life situations.
Living wills and other advance directives are written, legal instructions regarding your preferences for medical care if you are unable to make decisions for yourself. Advance directives guide choices for doctors and caregivers if you''re terminally ill, seriously injured, in a coma, in the late stages of dementia or near the end of life.
By planning ahead, you can get the medical care you want, avoid unnecessary suffering and relieve caregivers of decision-making burdens during moments of crisis or grief. You also help reduce confusion or disagreement about the choices you would want people to make on your behalf.
Advance directives aren''t just for older adults. Unexpected end-of-life situations can happen at any age, so it''s important for all adults to prepare these documents.
A medical or health care power of attorney is a type of advance directive in which you name a person to make decisions for you when you are unable to do so. In some states this directive may also be called a durable power of attorney for health care or a health care proxy.
The person you name may be a spouse, other family member, friend or member of a faith community. You may also choose one or more alternates in case the person you chose is unable to fulfill his or her role.
Depending on where you live, the person you choose to make decisions may be called one of the following:
Choosing a person to act as your health care agent is important. Even if you have other legal documents regarding your care, not all situations can be anticipated and some situations will require someone to make a judgment about your likely care wishes. You should choose a person who meets the following criteria:
A living will is a written, legal document that spells out medical treatments you would and would not want to be used to keep you alive, as well as other decisions such as pain management or organ donation.
In determining your wishes, think about your values, such as the importance to you of being independent and self-sufficient, and what you feel would make your life not worth living. Would you want treatment to extend life in any situation? Would you want treatment only if a cure is possible?
Have discussions with your primary care doctor, your health care agent, family and friends about your personal wishes. Resources for organizing your own thoughts and having conversations with others about medical care and end-of-life care are available through the American Bar Association, the Conversation Project and the Center for Practical Bioethics.
You should address a number of possible end-of-life care decisions in your living will. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about any of these issues:
You don''t need to have an advance directive or living will to have do not resuscitate (DNR) and do not intubate (DNI) orders. You can make your preferences known to your physician, who can write the orders and put them in your medical record.
If you have a living will, however, be sure to mention it it whether you have a DNR or DNI order on file.
Advance directives need to be in writing. Each state has different forms and requirements for creating legal documents. Depending on where you live, a form may need to be signed by a witness or notarized. You can ask a lawyer to help you with the process, but it is generally not necessary.
Links to state-specific forms can be found on the websites of various organizations such as the American Bar Association and the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. The American Bar Association also has a basic, easy-to-use advance directive form that can be used in most states.
Review your advance directives with your doctor and your health care agent to be sure you have filled out forms correctly. When you have completed your documents, you need to do the following:
You can change your directives at any time. If you want to make changes, you must create a new form, distribute new copies and destroy all old copies. Specific requirements for changing directives may vary by state.
You should discuss changes with your primary care doctor and make sure a new directive replaces an old directive in your medical file. New directives must also be added to medical charts in a hospital or nursing home. Also, talk to your health care agent, family and friends about changes you have made.
You should consider reviewing your directives and creating new ones in the following situations:
In some states, advance health care planning includes a document called physician orders for life-sustaining treatment (POLST). The document may also be called provider orders for life-sustaining treatment (POLST) or medical orders for life-sustaining treatment (MOLST). Your doctor fills out this form.
A POLST is intended for people who have already been diagnosed with a serious illness. This form does not replace your other directives. Instead, it serves as doctor-ordered instructions — not unlike a prescription — to ensure that, in case of an emergency, you receive the treatment you prefer.
A POLST stays with you. If you are in a hospital or nursing home, the POLST is posted near your bed. If you are living at home or a hospice care facility, the POLST is prominently displayed where emergency personnel or other medical team members can easily find it.
Your doctor will fill out the form based on the contents of your directives, discussions with your doctor about the likely course of the illness, and your treatment preferences.
Forms vary by state, but essentially a POLST enables your doctor to include details about what treatments not to use, under what conditions certain treatments can be used, how long treatments may be used, and when treatments should be withdrawn. Issues covered in a POLST may include:
A POLST also indicates what advance directives you have created and who serves as your health care agent. Like advance directives, POLSTs can be canceled or updated.

Coming this summer to Xbox 360. More details at E3.
Reader Comments
I love Skyrim, but I'm tired of always killing the same monsters. I wish there were more customization too, if I spell damage, basically have to play with Destruction. Since the game has a wide choice of armor, it would be nice to be able paint with different colors. Please Bethesda, more customization: D
Bethesda said to try to figure out the direction of the DLC based on the name & promo picture, when it was announced, implying that there were clues in the name. If you read the book "The Great War" in Skyrim, it talks about the Thalmor using "Dawn" magics, and how they currently occupy part of Hammerfell, aka the home of the Redguard. Hence, Dawnguard. I'm betting it has something to do with pushing the Thalmor out.
Further evidence: It borders Skyrim & has a strong history of dragon presence, there is also the city in Hammerfell named "Dragonstar", which was ruled jointly by Skyrim and Hammerfell once upon a time. There is also presence of the Alik'r in Skyrim (hunting a Thalmor collaborator) already. Lastly, don't forget Tribunal/Bloodmoon & Shivering Isles and the precedent those set for ES expansions.
Well I just want it to be a little more complex. Like the Hardcore mode you did for NV. Armour and weapons degrading and stuff would be awesome. I mean don't get me wrong I love Skyrim I just wished that A: Guards where more useful. B Enchanting tables didn't exist, it used to be so awesome finding magical items and C: A stronger Dark Brotherhood presence.
The degrading armor weapons and armor would be so awsome,you would repair them with ingots that were used to create them.Also hunger and thirst would be amazing,at that point food would be useful.
Everybody stop your god damned complaining or else Todd Howard will FUS RO DAH your front door in and kick your teeth in…… for the record I own Skyrim for the pc and am not exactly HAPPY about this but your opinions truly and sadly dont matter, Bethesda has had a contract with Microsoft since the game was announced.
I completely agree with adding an OPTIONAL hardcore mode like the one in New Vegas, except more realistic, like not being able to live off of one bottle of water for a week. It'd add more importance to hunting, as well as making you sleep instead of waiting whenever you want it be morning. Overall, it'd make the game more immersive.
Since I am a friend with several people who who work for game developers, I understand the purpose for an early release on 360. Money. It costs money to develope and publish a game. Many companies encourage pre-orders, for instance. This gives the company more money for development which will hopefully result in a better game. Same thing here. This is a good sign that the expansion will be quality. I for one look forward to it.
can't wait for this..!!!! I LOVE YOU BETHESDA FOR SKYRIM!!
I hope they bring back minotaurs…
For all you ps3 and PC gamers quit getting but hurt that Xbox is getting it first if your so damn pissed then switch platforms. Obviously Microsoft gave them a better deal so maybe you should complain to Sony or whereever. But this looks sick and I'm stoked for it to come on Xbox first!!
Well let's hope they give it away free as an apology for the ps3 version being broken
Why is it Bethesda always releases dlc for Xbox first…. Oh wait it's because Microsoft pays them off

Miller targets 14th win in finale with Mariners
Shelby Miller goes after win No. 14 on Sunday when the St. Louis Cardinals close out their three-game series with the Seattle Mariners at Busch Stadium.
Miller was terrific in beating the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday, as he scattered five hits over 6 2/3 scoreless innings to improve to 13-9, while lowering his ERA to 3.05.
It was Miller's seventh scoreless start of five innings or more and 12th quality start this season.
"We know what's at stake, and we know every day how many games we're ahead by," Miller said after becoming the league's second rookie to 13 wins. "I think it makes it more fun for us to come to the field every day and know we're in a big race."
Seattle, meanwhile, will counter with righty Erasmo Ramirez, who is 5-1 with a 4.57 ERA. Ramirez tossed six-plus scoreless innings last Sunday versus Tampa Bay, but did not factor in the decision of his team's 4-1 loss. He gave up four hits in that one and also walked a season-high four batters.
"Even if I walked four and had strikeouts and everything, I threw for contact," Ramirez said. "Every time I'm going to throw the ball, I think about just throwing the ball for the hit and making contact and not letting the ball get right over home plate, but trying to hit the corners. Maybe for that reason I walked a lot of people today because I wanted to throw the ball closer to the corner."
The 23-year-old missed the first three months with an elbow issue but has a 2.27 ERA in his past five starts.
On Saturday, Franklin Gutierrez and Kendrys Morales highlighted Seattle's offense and James Paxton silenced the Cardinals over six scoreless innings in a 4-1 triumph.
Paxton (2-0) won his MLB debut last week against the Tampa Bay Rays and held another playoff contender in check yesterday as the 24-year-old lefty limited the Cardinals to just two singles and two walks while striking out five.
"It's nice to see him step up like that," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said of his young starter.
Gutierrez recorded a two-run double and Morales added a solo homer as Seattle snapped a five-game skid and handed Michael Wacha (3-1) his first loss. Wacha, making his seventh career start, struck out seven over five innings but gave up two runs on four hits and four walks in the setback.
St. Louis fell to 6-2 on its homestand and dropped back into a tie with the Pirates atop the NL Central after Pittsburgh held off the Cubs on Saturday.
"We need to get some offense going," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
The Cardinals are 7-4 all-time versus the Mariners, winning six of eight in St. Louis.

Freeview vs Freesat vs YouView Across The Llandrindod Wells
Freeview, Freesat, and YouView… they all sound a bit similar, and they all offer a set top box that delivers dozens of free-to-air TV channels without a subscription fee. So what's the real difference between the three? And which is the best choice for you?
For more information contact Freesat Installers Llandrindod Wells Today so call 0800 0132341
Freesat Installers Llandrindod Wells
Good old Freeview comes in a few different forms, from a set-top box to a dinky little thing that barely even qualifies as a box, to a telly that already has it built in. Loads of electronics manufacturers make them so you have plenty of choices. All it needs is to be hooked up to your aerial – and broadband if you want to use Smart TV services – and you're good to go.
Freesat was set up as a way of getting a lot of TV at a super low cost, and it does that via satellite. So as well as a box, you'll also need a satellite dish installed. That can be a bit of a hassle – and is more expensive – but it's a good choice if you have bad digital TV signal in your area.
YouView works with just a box, available from various retailers. Or, you can get one free with a BT TV or TalkTalk TV subscription, each of which offers various extras like entertainment channels, movies, and sports.
Prices for Freeview boxes vary pretty widely since so many manufacturers make them. A good quality Freeview+ box with decent storage space for recordings can set you back a couple hundred pounds – though you can also pick up a basic one for less than twenty quid.
Freesat boxes have a slightly higher base price, but otherwise, the range is similar to that of Freeview. You will, however, have an extra expense if you don't have a satellite dish – essential for receiving Freesat.
A YouView box is the most costly of them all unless you get it free with BT (www.BT.com) or TalkTalk (www.TalkTalk.co.uk). But even then, you're tied into monthly payments.

Thread: #05 Top DUmmie of 2011
Results 1 to 5 of 5
#1 #05 Top DUmmie of 201112-28-2011, 10:09 PM
One can almost hear the wailings and lamentations of decent and civilized people, with the announcement that Stinky the Clown has been awarded #05 Top DUmmie of 2011; he doesnt have many friends over here, and to be honest, many consider him an old bore.
I beg to differ, but whatever.
The generalissimo dude was also #14 top primitive in 2006, #02 top primitive in 2008, #05 top primitive in 2009, and a landslide #02 top primitive in 2010, after which many hoped theyd never see him again.
I beg to differ, but whatever.
The generalissimo dudes learned one of the secrets to gaining top primitivity, that of actually visiting the DUmpster often, and shouting out, either overtly or covertly, or in a sidewise manner (such as his complaints to Skins this past year), to us from Skinss island.
Remember, mention of the DUmpster is forbidden on Skinss island, and so thats difficult to doand so kudos to Stinky the Clown for that.
The generalissimo dudes background and business was fully explained in his award last year:
The only new information one can offer this year is that hes tall, but somewhat bulging in the middle with a paunch, thinning hair, and has psoriasis or somesuch thing on his elbows.
Stinky the Clown parroted the usual and customary primitive talking-points all year long, no deviation from the standard party line, and so there was nothing especially remarkable about that.
What made the generalissimo dude remarkable in 2011 were things such as:

Did you know that we in C&B are considered by some to be primitives and the subject of anthropological research? Did you know that we've been categorized as representative of the left and therefore representative of what makes people hold left values?
Did you know that some very lonely little people have too much time on their hands?
Oh My

There was another episode of one of our members having a thread locked for . . . .
. . . . . nothing more than defending himself from an attack by some lowlife motherfuckers who live to piss off DUers.
A word to them first, if I may: Being deaf is no excuse for being a lowlife fucking asshole. The two conditions are unrelated.
Many of us here have been harassed by these fuckwads. Mac is but the latest "primitive" to be cut off at the knees when trying to go back at these MOTHERFUCKERS.
If you're going to persist in allowing them to do what they do but prevent us from saying what we wish, why not at least try to get rid of their local alter egos? We can all be grownups and ignore them over in their cave or not as we choose, but you could do your part and smoke out their trolls. You know they exist. They brag about them. You guys have slammed a few DUers on outta here. How about smoking out the roaches from beneath the floorboards? That might make activity such as the recent thread lockings, one by EarlG himself, more tolerable.Skinner ADMIN Donating Member (1000+ posts) Thu Jul-07-11 11:34 AM
Response to Original message
1. Allow me to explain.
As far as I know, there at least a half-dozen discussion forums on the Internet which are exclusively dedicated to whining about Democratic Underground and our members. Why is that? It's because DU is the best liberal discussion forum on the Internet, period.
They post their pathetic, trolly, BS over on those other websites in the hopes that they might get a hit over here on the real website. Maybe, just maybe, someone over on DU will read their lies and get upset about it and maybe even cause a ruckus over on DU.
Let me be clear: I like DUers and I don't like it when any member of this website feels like they have been disrespected -- here or elsewhere. I understand that it does not feel good.
But getting all worked up about it and getting into a board war is EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. They want DUers to get angry, and they thrive on the attention. It raises them up, and it lowers DU to their level.
The worst thing that can possibly happen to any of these people is to be ignored. It's sad enough to spend your days on a website dedicated to whining about another website; even more so if you know the people on the other website aren't even paying attention.

6. That's hardly an answer . . . apart from being pro forma.
I have no access to IP addresses or the records of referring web sites, or any of the other hard evidence that one might be what others suspect them to be. You, on the other hand, do.
My evidence is "what I read on the Internets," which you already brushed aside.
See, here's another thing. I read on the very same Internets that they have even infiltrated your moderators. I know that I'm not the only one to raise that issue. I have seen it mentioned it here on DU, even though, right now, I am unable to find the thread. Maybe it got nuked.
Then there's the matter of sock puppets and zombies. Were I to get banned, I will bet nearly anything that I would be found out damned fast, just due to my style. A lot of banned posters have styles, too. For all but the most studied imposter (and I am certain there are many such wankers) we can mask our personality just so long, even on the Internets. Some people who spend a great deal of time on this site have identified the sock puppets for who they are, but even with that, none of it is "evidence" and, were I a mod, there's no way I would burn an accused sock without real, hard proof. An alert from an ordinary member like me is not proof.
IP addresses *are* reasonably good proof. Consistent referring site data is good circumstantial proof, but less reliable than IP addresses.
Unless no one is checking.Skinner ADMIN (1000+ posts) Mon Aug-29-11 02:30 PM

7. Yeah, we've figured out how to check IP addresses. Thanks.

17. I'm not an internets laughingstock.
This is where the generalissimo dude got his current title:
This discussion thread was locked by Stinky The Clown (a host of the Soapbox forum) on Tue Dec 6, 2011, 07:17 PM. It was locked for the following reason:
This discussion thread violates the Statement of Purpose for the Soapbox forum. (Statement of Purpose: Share your thoughts on politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.)
It is closed to new replies. The only person who can unlock this thread is the host who locked it. The author of this post may petition Stinky The Clown directly to appeal the lock.
Very unfortunately, I cant find the campfire where the generalissimo dude whined about usage of the term dude; that was a classic, but it seems to be buried out of my sight.
Frank, you put a good sized bug up Stinky's ass :D:D:D
That's why you're our hero,CU's Paranormal Expert.
Keep your powder dry, your sword sharp and your wits intact.
If Stinky was so worried about his good name, then maybe he should come to these sites to try to clear it, instead of hiding behind Skinners skirts.In most sports, cold-cocking an opposing player repeatedly in the face with a series of gigantic Slovakian uppercuts would get you a multi-game suspension without pay.
In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.
If I recall correctly, he later complained to my fellow alum Skins about it, in the ATA forum.
Over the years I've found out that the bigger the mouth on the Moonbat, the more of a pussy these assholes are; they're afraid to set foot any place where a Mod won't slap someone down for them when they starting screaming. In other words, Stinky and his ilk are brave as Hell when they're on DU, but they're sh*tless of rest of the cyberverse.CU's Paranormal Expert.
Keep your powder dry, your sword sharp and your wits intact.

CARY, North Carolina – Last year, Major League Gaming (MLG) experimented with Gears of War 3 in eSports. Epic Games has been eying the burgeoning pro gaming space. With Gears of War Judgment, the developer has created a team-based multiplayer experience, OverRun, specifically designed for eSports by utilizing Unreal Engine 3. Quinn DelHoyo, multiplayer lead on Gears of War Judgment at Epic, talks about the pro gaming potential for this new Microsoft published shooter in this exclusive interview.
Gears 3 is more Esports oriented than this stupid game. It looks SO easy and changing the controls is a recipe for disaster to Gears fans.
How about you design it for the fans instead of this stupid ass Esports crap. Are they the millions of people who buy your game? you are catering to the wrong group my friend.
Removing DBNO is a mistake.
Removing COG V.S. Locust and making it COG V.S. COG, Red V.S. Blue is a mistake.
Removing primary weapons and replacing them with a pistol and making you hunt for your second primary weapon is a mistake.
At this point it looks like they are removing horde and Beast and replacing it with Overun, a game type just like every other generic MP tack-on.
Epic has lost their friggin' minds, they are making the game so generic it's going to be unplayable.
This will be the first gears game I DON'T buy.

NEW YORK, June 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of investors who purchased CenturyLink, Inc. ("CenturyLink" or the "Company") (NYSE:CTL) stock between August 8, 2012 and February 14, 2013.
For more information, click here: http://zlk.9nl.com/centurylink-ctl/.
The complaint alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning the Company's dividend cut. In particular, it is alleged that CenturyLink misled investors regarding the strength of its free cash flow, which is a significant factor in the Company's ability to maintain its dividend levels. It is further alleged that as a result of the Company's misleading statements, CenturyLink stock traded at an artificially inflated price.
On February 13, 2013, CenturyLink announced it would cut its dividend by over a quarter, from 72.5 cents to 54 cents per share. The Company also authorized the repurchase of up to $2 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock. Upon this news, shares of CenturyLink fell from a close of $41.69 on the day of the announcement to a close of $32.27 the following day.
If you suffered a loss in CenturyLink you have until August 5, 2013 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as a lead plaintiff. To obtain additional information, contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. either via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone at (877) 363-5972, or visit http://zlk.9nl.com/centurylink-ctl/.

ManTech International and a small business, Research Analysis & Maintenance Inc., are embroiled in a bid protest fight for an Army training contract to support the Operational Test Command at Fort Hood in Texas.
The $50 million contract was originally awarded in April to Combined Technical Services LLC, a joint venture formed by Westech International and Trax International.
ManTech and Research Analysis & Maintenance, which goes by the acronym RAM, filed separate protests shortly after the award was made.
According to Deltek, RAM of El Paso, Texas, is the incumbent on the contract and has pulled in $191 million in task orders since 2007. The solicitation for the new contract says that the contract has a ceiling of $50 million over three years.
The Army withdrew the award to Combined Technical Services, so the Government Accountability Office dismissed the protests.
In November, ManTech and RAM again filed protests presumably after the Army awarded the contract again to Combined Technical Services.
This week, GAO again dismissed the protests. So, it looks like the Army is again taking a second look at its award decision.
Interestingly, Combined Technical Services was formed solely to support the test command at Fort Hood, according to its website.
The joint venture makes no bones about going after an incumbent contract, saying that it "looks forward to meeting with all incumbent employees."
The contract in the dispute is for data management, data collection, instrumentation and logistics support to "operational tests events," according to the solicitation.
