GL-10 Accessory Relay Location????
Posted 24 November 2012 - 09:56 PM
Hmmm. A mystery!
I was thinking that the ignition switch might be the problem. But no. When I got home, I disconnected it, and the stereo still stayed on. OK. I was thinking the relay for the accessory circuit was right on the inner dash in the driver side. Pulled the two molex connectors from them... And the radio was still on. Pulling the radio fuse finally shut it down.
Since the windscreen wipers also were suddenly working sans key, I'm thinking that the accessory relay is stuck in the closed position. If someone could be so kind as to pointing out the location of the beast, I would be most grateful.

I'm looking at the fuse panel right now, but I don't see anything wrong there. Now that I'm deeper into the diagnostic, I have found there are four relays right under the dash. Unplugging all of those does not solve this problem.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 04:53 PM
Of course, now, all of a sudden.... Everything is working properly. Go figure.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 11:43 PM
The only thing that I can think of that happened is the fan (I assume you mean the blower and not the cooling fan) is back feeding voltage to the other circuits from another source of power. I could see that happening if it is the cooling fan circuit since it is hot at all times and doesn't pass through the ignition switch.
Looking at the data again it shows that power to the blower relay for the blower is hot at all times also. So a bridged connection there could have caused the trouble.

Except, it can't be the relay if one of those is one of the four i already unplugged. Interestingly enough, when I have the blower fuse pulled, the blower still works when the key is switched to ACC mode. Wonder if it will work if I also pull the stereo fuse?
Will do more diagnostic tomorrow.

Researchers Report Super-Powered Battery Breakthrough 244
another random user writes with news that researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are reporting a breakthrough in battery technology. They say: "With currently available power sources, users have had to choose between power and energy. For applications that need a lot of power, like broadcasting a radio signal over a long distance, capacitors can release energy very quickly but can only store a small amount. For applications that need a lot of energy, like playing a radio for a long time, fuel cells and batteries can hold a lot of energy but release it or recharge slowly. ... The new microbatteries offer both power and energy, and by tweaking the structure a bit, the researchers can tune them over a wide range on the power-versus-energy scale (abstract). The batteries owe their high performance to their internal three-dimensional microstructure. Batteries have two key components: the anode (minus side) and cathode (plus side). Building on a novel fast-charging cathode design by materials science and engineering professor Paul Braun's group, King and Pikul developed a matching anode and then developed a new way to integrate the two components at the microscale to make a complete battery with superior performance. With so much power, the batteries could enable sensors or radio signals that broadcast 30 times farther, or devices 30 times smaller. The batteries are rechargeable and can charge 1,000 times faster than competing technologies – imagine juicing up a credit-card-thin phone in less than a second. In addition to consumer electronics, medical devices, lasers, sensors and other applications could see leaps forward in technology with such power sources available."

- Drugs controversy
WADA wants more drug testing in football
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) president John Fahey has said football is not doing enough to test for the use of banned substances.
Performance-enhancing drugs like EPO have been attracting intense media attention in recent months in the wake of the cycling scandal and, more recently, the revelations of widespread use in a number of Australian sports.
There have also been indications of use in football. Former Real Sociedad president Inaki Badiola claimed the club had made use of Eufemiano Fuentes, the doctor currently on trial for doping charges in Spain, while there have been claims from cyclists that the game is far from clean.
In the 2011-12 season, UEFA tested more than 2,200 players across its tournaments - including Euro 2012, the Champions League and Europa League - while the FA carried out 1,278 tests last year and FIFA conducted 662 urine tests, with 95 of those testing for EPO.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger recently said he had asked UEFA to consider blood testing to help identify any problems, and Fahey stressed that more must be done.
"I simply say this about football - they are not testing enough for EPO," he said. "They could do more and we encourage them to do more.
"While testing is a good deterrent factor and may be an effective way of catching people, I would argue that we now know that the athletes' biological passport [an electronic dossier showing results of doping tests] is a very effective tool. Why isn't football using it? They can. In my view, it would make them more effective."
WADA director general David Howman agrees that football must improve its approach to the matter, citing the strides forward made by Major League Baseball.
Howman said: "You have got to start with a quality programme. Football can then stand up and say: 'We don't have a problem because we have checked for it properly and fully.'
"Each player on a Major League Baseball team will be tested at least four times a year. Now ask whether any Premier League team has every player in the squad tested four times a year. I think we all know what the answer is. This initiative by MLB ought to be taken up by others."
Howman also said some athletes were travelling to remote areas where their drug use would not be monitored.
"They go offshore to train in countries where they feel they cannot be located and tested," he added. "We have to shut that down as much as we can."

1 (31) - Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State; 2 (56) - Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana; 3 (95) - Michael Schofield, OT, Michigan; 5 (156) - Lamin Barrow, OLB. LSU; 6 (207) - Matthew Paradis, OC, Boise State; 7 (242) - Corey Nelson, OLB, Oklahoma
Top Picks Analysis: The rich got a little richer as John Elway laced a pair of doubles that could turn out to be much more despite his relatively poor draft positioning.
Denver has totally revamped its shaky secondary in the offseason, first adding lockdown corner Aqib Talib and safety T.J. Ward in free agency before drafting talented Ohio State corner Bradley Roby with the 31st overall pick.
Roby had top-20 talent but his stock took a hit because he was inconsistent with the Buckeyes and had a high-profile off-the-field incident days before the draft.
Lengthy second-round wide receiver Cody Latimer shapes up as the potential replacement for the departed Eric Decker, while third-round offensive tackle Michael Schofield should provide immediate depth and could turn into a starter down the line if he hits the weight room hard.
Best Value Pick: Latimer needs to sharpen his route-running skills but he has a chance to do some special things with Peyton Manning throwing the ball to him.
"You just need to get in the hip pocket of Peyton Manning," NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said. "What a great situation for this young man. He's a height/weight specimen. He needs to learn how to run routes and separate from defenders."
Questionable Calls: Schofield is probably not athletic enough to play on the edge right now and he lacks the functional football strength to kick inside. There were better options on the board for Elway.
Summary: The Broncos helped themselves at two need positions (corner and wide receiver) and generally scored well on the value meter throughout the process.
Undrafted rookie free agent signings: DE Kenny Anunike, Duke; OLB Shaquil Barrett, Colorado State; RB Kapri Bibbs, Colorado State; WR Isaiah Burse, Fresno State; P Steven Clark, Auburn; RB Brennan Clay, Oklahoma; DT Mister Cobble, Michigan State; WR Bennie Fowler, Michigan State; WR Greg Hardin, North Dakota State; DE Greg Latta, Purdue; QB Bryn Renner, North Carolina; OT Aslam Sterling, Kansas; CB Jordan Sullen, Tulane; RB Juwan Thompson, Duke; CB Louis Young, Georgia Tech

According to WFAN's Craig Carton... Donnie Walsh has resigned as President/GM of the Knicks and he will take a role as a Consultant. More to Come!
ESPN Radio saying it to.
I can think of someone Dolan likes to take over
o boy im scared
Donnie Walsh departing Knicks
Donnie Walsh's tenure as president and general manager of the New York Knicks is over, team owner James Dolan said Friday.
"Following a long series of discussions regarding his future role with the New York Knicks, Donnie Walsh and I have mutually agreed that he will be leaving his position ... at the end of June," Dolan said in a statement.
Walsh will work in a consultant's capacity for the team next season.
"In a relatively short time with the Knicks, Donnie made a tremendous impact, which will be felt for many years to come," Dolan said. "We thank Donnie for his leadership, hard work and many contributions to the revitalization of the team."
The Knicks said their search for a new president and general manager will begin immediately. Glen Grunwald, the club's senior vice president of basketball operations, will serve as interim GM beginning in July and will oversee all player transactions.
Hope D'Antoni is right behind him.
Uh oh - so does that mean Calipari is coming in as GM/Coach?
Dolan is that dumb, but he can't bring Isiah back in any capacity..
Bad news for the Knicks...Very bad news! Donnie did a great job and will be missed!
As a Knicks supporter, I'm extremely worried that this brings Isiah back in some capacity. And having him at all involved with the team is just horrible...
Mother****ing **** **** ****ing ****er!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they bring back Isiah, I'm done with this team. Done.
I'm about done supporting this clown Dolan/Knicks. Pretty clear he doesn't have any clue as to what he's doing and hasn't for the last 10+ years. :steamin:

Walsh did a masterful job getting the Knicks under the cap and landing Amare, Carmelo, and hopefully if Stern doesn't get his way and cuts the cap by over $10 mil, Chris Paul too. Jim Dolan is officially Isiah's boyfriend.

CCS program…. Good or bad?
I am a twenty-eight-year-old male who studied for a while to become a veterinarian. As we were nearing the end of our studies I got excited to, at last, finish and start doing my own thing. When we were notified about COMPULSORY veterinary community service, many of us did not like this idea at all. It felt like they were now adding to another year before I can go and do what I studied for such a long time.
Many already-practicing-veterinarians were very negative about the idea of newly qualified veterinarians flooding the market and entering the area with ease without the risk of sacrificing anything.
My personal experience, of the addition of another year to my studies was quickly changed as my mentor was very pleasant and good and the community she introduced me to welcomed my presence with open arms. After the first introductions, the community started asking questions and overwhelmed my brain. I immediately realised that CCS was not going to be a walk in the park, and that I was not only going to sign papers for the rest of the CCS year.
I saw a lot of interesting cases, from early in the year onwards, some diseases did not follow the normal textbook presentations, especially with arthropod borne diseases, in this above-normal-rainy season experienced in 2017.
Redwater does not always show up on the blood smear, Lumpy skin disease does not always present in bumps all over the body, and some people have never heard of dewormers, no matter what it is named.
Some diseases, such as calf diphtheria presented and was successfully treated. Wounds on cattle were sutured and lumps were removed. This helps a lot to improve surgical techniques in large animals, including suture strength, reducing tension on wounds and haemostasis, all of which, I think, are more of a challenge in large animals that cannot be bandaged and given cage rest.
Most of the people in the community will not let you leave empty handed as Zulu culture does not allow visitors to do so. I am rewarded in sugarcane, maize cobs, pomegranates, biscuits and coke just to name a few.
I am given the chance to develop my own decisions and regimens on how to best treat or not to treat and decide on different treatment options.
If you start working for someone with lots of experience as a newly qualified veterinarian, then I think it's easy to become a replica of that veterinarian as you learn only their treatment options and never develop your own confidence or thinking.
With all of this said I must also say that the private veterinarians in my area are very helpful and never hesitate to help, sometimes even outside of their working hours. I think if a good relationship is developed between the new graduates and established veterinarians that it is a win-win situation, where good veterinarians and good relationships are created.
Overall, I think this program is good for developing confidence, exploring areas in South Africa that you never thought about and maybe even learning a new language. You get an opportunity to teach rural communities more about animal husbandry, animal welfare and care. This is good for the veterinary profession, for exposing people to a more rural setting where you learn to adapt without always having all diagnostics available and it creates awareness of treatment of animals in areas where it was never used. To find out how to handle a CCS veterinarian in your area please phone the veterinarians in Dundee as they are a perfect example.

text: Louisa's Story Louisa's StoryAlone and in Pain, Chained to a Tree with Her Collar Embedded in Her Neck The Michigan Humane Society's Cruelty Investigation Department investigates over 5,000 cases of cruelty each year in Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park. Of these, an unfortunate number involve animals who, at the hands of their owners, are faced with a painful embedded collar, in which a collar or chain can become so tight that it embeds into their skin. Louisa, a 2-year-old German Shepherd/Collie mix, is one of the brave animals who recovered from this excruciating experience. When Louisa was found by investigators in December 2008, she was alone and in pain, chained to a tree with her collar embedded in her neck. The investigators released her from her conditions, and immediately brought her back to MHS' Detroit Center for Animal Care for treatment. Over the course of five weeks, this sweet girl recuperated from her troubling experience, and began to reveal her loving personality. She soon became a favorite among staff members. When Tim Scott of Detroit came to visit the adoption center one day in January 2009, he knew he had found a forever companion. "When meeting her, she would come and stand on my foot so I couldn't get away," he recalls. "I had another rescue dog that did the same thing, so I knew she was the one." Tim immediately adopted Louisa, who today lives a happy life full of toys, playtime, and frolicking with other canine companions at her behavior classes. She even gets to hang out with dad at work! "She is fortunate in that she is able to come to work with me almost every day, where she gets to interact with others," said Scott. "She is very much my shadow and even sleeps beneath my desk." With her resilient and positive spirit, this lucky girl was able to recover from her traumatic experience and find a second chance at life with a forever, loving family.

It's Tough
The EliteBook 810 G1 presumably gets its name from the MIL-STD 810G, a level of abuses developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to determine field readiness. According to HP, this unit can survive 26 drops from a desk height of 30 inches onto any side, angle or edge. It's protected from incursion of sand, dust, moisture and a certain degree of liquid. It resists spills onto the keyboard by diverting the liquid away from core components and out through drain holes on the bottom. We haven't tested any of those claims yet, but as soon as we're done reviewing this machine, the gloves come off.
By the way, this rugged little machine didn't suffer too greatly in terms of size and weight. With its 11.6-inch screen, it tips the scales at an eyelash above three pounds, about the same as most 13-inch Ultrabooks. It's 8.4 inches wide by 11.2 inches long by 0.80 inches thick.

Meet 14-year-old Jake Foushee. He lives in the city of Mebane in North Carolina, and to look at him, he's just your regular teenage boy - but to listen to him, he's something else entirely.
As if he's not only gone through puberty recently but wrestled it to the ground and beaten it to a pulp, Master Foushee has a voice that rivals the golden-voiced homeless man the internet still loves to love, Ted Williams.
So click play on the video above to hear him do his thing, and remember: he's fourteen. Fourteen with a voice that you'd expect a man in his 1950s to have, in fact.
The man he's impresonating is commonly known as the 'movie trailer guy', but those in the know refer to him as Don LaFontaine. He passed away back in 2008 - and maybe Jake here could take over the reins in a couple of years' time. Who knows, it might well happen...
And for more celebrity impressions, take a look at our video gallery of just that: celebrity impressions, which we've added here for you below.

I know I'm checking in much later than usual, but here's the lowdown before the A's play the Reds in their final Cactus League game of 2010 …
–Eric Chavez gets the start at third base, and manager Bob Geren said Chavez also will play shortstop for a couple innings. That's different from a few days ago, when Geren told reporters Chavez wouldn't play short in a spring game. But Chavez said yesterday that he's feeling great physically, so the A's want to see how comfortable he looks there, and whether he could play short in a pinch during the regular season.
I'm interested to see this too, because I'm still a bit skeptical about Chavez playing short given his history of back and shoulder problems. But I suppose the A's feel if he can handle third base occasionally, shortstop shouldn't be that much more challenging. The A's drafted Chavez as a shortstop, but he's played just five regular season games there in his career, none since 2001. How well he can play short will likely impact whether Adam Rosales makes the team as a backup shortstop/utility guy.
–Jack Cust was a late scratch at DH today because of allergies, with Landon Powell taking his place.
–It's a Hawaiian theme at Phoenix Municipal Stadium, with the ushers wearing le'is around their necks and "Blue Hawaii" playing over the PA. In just a few hours, I'll be saying "aloha" to Phoenix and flying back to the Bay Area …

Collection of long-time doctor displayed at museum
Dr. Bert Pyle could walk into a room and touch and talk to patients.
"After he left, they felt like they had a better shot than anything we could give them," said Kay Olmsted, who worked at Gothenburg Memorial Hospital where Pyle made his rounds.That's when the hospital stood on top of the hill at the intersection of 20th Street and Avenue F.
Bonnie Paulsen, who was the doctor's receptionist at his clinic at Ninth Street and Avenue D, said Pyle was always willing to work with people in paying their bills.
"He was very compassionate," said Paulsen, who worked with the doctor for 26 years.
Because Pyle was such a big part of Gothenburg and saved many lives, the two women touted a collection at the Gothenburg Historical Museum that displays his surgical instruments, medical books and more.
The Pyle family donated the collection to the museum.
"He saved lives with this kind of equipment, primitive sterilization and we never wore gloves," Olmsted said, noting that the display shows the vast difference between when Pyle first began practicing in Gothenburg in 1929 and today.
Upon his retirement in 1976, Pyle had delivered some 2,500 babies—including Paulsen—and never lost a mother in childbirth.
Pyle also made a lot of house calls.
Olmsted remembers how formal and proper Pyle was but if called in the middle of the night, he'd show up in a pajama top covered by a suit jacket and wearing slippers.
In addition, Paulsen said Pyle might show up wearing a different shoe on each foot but "he remembered everything about a patient," Olmsted said.
"He took care of you as a friend," Paulsen said.
The women said Pyle was also courteous and polite to the nursing staff.
One item in the display, an ether mask with cloth safety-pinned to the frame, could be dangerous during surgery, Olmsted said.
At the time, ether was used as anesthesia and put on the mask that was placed on a patient's nose and mouth.
"Ether was highly flammable and explosive," she explained. "You could create a spark by walking across the floor."
A drill, also on display, was used to manually bore into bones.
Instead of disposable needles, the medical staff cleaned and sterilized needles that were reused.
"And if they became dull, we'd sharpen them with a knife," Olmsted said.
Another difference was that the laboratory was
located in Pyle's office instead of at the hospital, as was usually the case in those days.
"He'd train someone to do lab work," she said.
Olmsted, who was a nurse in Gothenburg for 46 years, marvels at the changes.
"A lot of the instruments they have now are attached to a machine and camera," she said.
During surgery, patients often have more, small incisions instead of foot-long cuts.
In addition to clinic and hospital work, Pyle also was the physician for Union Pacific Railroad workers, team doctor for the high school football squad and a teacher for the University of Nebraska Medical School when senior students traveled to Gothenburg to observe and help him in family practice.
Pyle is buried in the Gothenburg Cemetery next to his wife, Florence.

Teamlist Tuesday is here with #NRL Teamlists and officials for Round 12 confirmed.
Head to bit.ly/L...
3 days ago
A strong first half has helped the Cronulla Sharks to see off a Wests Tigers fightback to score a 36-22 at Remondis Stadium.
The first half could easily be described as the Todd Carney show with the star five-eighth being the central figure to the Sharks performance in the opening 40 minutes.
The game opened ominously for the visitors with on just their second touch of the match, this gave the Sharks some early possession right on the Tigers line. The Sharks were unable to put this pressure into points but were getting repeat sets which created more pressure.
The Sharks did eventually get on the scoreboard from this pressure in the 11th minute with Wade Graham scoring in his 100th career match. From there on the Sharks were clinical in their finishing thanks to a strong performance from Todd Carney who set up other first half tries to Nathan Stapleton and Luke Lewis.
Coming up to half time, Andrew Fifita showed that the Sharks weren

To the editor: "A moped cannot have a motor of more than 50 cubic cc, an external shifting device, or have the capacity of exceeding 30 miles per hour on a level surface."
"The moped does not have to be registered, inspected or covered by liability insurance."
These moped restrictions are from NCDOT/DMV, and they sound reasonable. Keep your engine small and don't go too fast, and nobody is going to bother you. No registration, inspection or insurance required. But soon that will change. Senate Republicans (including Tom Apodaca) not only want you to get your moped registered — you also have to get insurance.
Our Republican legislators keep telling us that they are on the side of the ordinary guy. No, they're not. They're hitting the ordinary guy up for more fees and regulations, which are just hidden taxes. As many have argued, Republican "tax reform" hits the little guy the hardest.
Tell Rep. Chuck McGrady to vote down more regulations for mopeds. And in the meantime, check Sen. Apodaca's campaign contributions from insurance companies.

To the editor: Having served proudly for six years in our U.S. Navy's Medical Corps, equally as proudly for 20 years as a staff psychiatrist at VA Medical Center Atlanta, and again proudly for 11 years intermittently at our local Charles George VA Medical Center as a consulting psychiatrist during periods of staffing shortages, it is of great concern to read your July 12 article indicating that Republicans in Congress are already balking about the costs of fixing VA health care.
Our veteran men and women defended with their lives, bodies and, yes, their minds this still great nation in order that we all can enjoy the standard of living we have in this country, and they deserve whatever it costs to treat medically their wounds of war, including post-traumatic stress disorder.
Our veterans have paid their debt to this country. Have you paid yours?
It is time Republicans in Congress stop giving just lip service to veterans' health care and start putting their money where their mouth is!

To the editor: "If the new voter law in North Carolina is the worst in the nation, why did the voter turnout in the … primary election exceed the turnout in previous elections?" asked a Times-News reader.
Answer: Because the severity of its terms attracted the attention of the Justice Department, which enjoined many of its key provisions. The law is not in effect. Hearings on its legality began in July, and the full trial and adjudication will take place next year. Then we shall see if the Republican effort to suppress young and/or minority voters in particular passes the smell test.
The N.C. Senate rushed this bill into being one month after the Supreme Court had overturned Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. It grew from 16 pages to 57 pages in two days and repealed or overturned nearly every reform that encouraged people to vote in the state.
There was no public input and no amendments were offered. No wonder the Justice Department intervened.
"It was an ambush on the people of this state," testified Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland County.

By DINA CAPPIELLO
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Republican-controlled House passed a bill Wednesday that would sharply curtail the federal government's role in protecting waters from pollution by barring the Environmental Protection Agency from overruling state decisions on water quality.
The bill passed on a 239-184 vote. Sixteen Democrats joined the majority of Republicans in supporting it. The White House threatened to veto the bill, saying it "would roll back the key provisions ... that have been the underpinning of 40 years of progress in making the nation's waters fishable, swimmable and drinkable."
Under the Clean Water Act, states have primary responsibility for protecting waterways after the EPA signs off on their plans. But the agency can step in if it thinks water resources aren't being adequately protected.
The measure strips the EPA of that oversight authority. Drafters of the bill said Wednesday that the goal was to restore cooperation between the federal government and the states, and to rein in an agency that they argue is running roughshod over states' rights for a political agenda that kills jobs and harms the economy. The bill included a provision requiring the EPA to determine the toll its actions to protect water quality would have on jobs.
Similar arguments have been used to advance a series of measures in the Republican-controlled House aimed at reining in EPA's powers over pollution. There has not been much success in the Democratic Senate.
"By not taking action, the Congress is tacitly giving the EPA authority to do what it thinks is politically necessary," said Rep. Nick Rahall of West Virginia, the top Democrat on the House transportation committee, and a co-sponsor of the measure. "This bill is not about whether we support EPA's ends. It's about whether we should use any means to reach those ends."
Under the Obama administration, the EPA has placed the first-ever limits on nutrient-rich runoff in Florida, where phosphorus and nitrogen have led to harmful algal blooms. More recently, in January, the EPA revoked a crucial water permit for West Virginia's largest mountaintop removal mine.
Critics of the bill said it would have much broader implications. The EPA's role has been crucial, they argue, in the effort to clean up the Chesapeake Bay and to address the dead zone that blooms each year as runoff from Midwest farms flows down the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico. Those pollution problems go beyond a single state.
A Democratic-led effort to exempt multi-state watersheds from the bill failed Wednesday.

Dear phissen,
I had the idea that this short essay should be in the first person plural ("we") because it talks about personal feelings such as thrills and fears.
Most of people like adventures firstly because of adrenaline and exciting situations. Some of most popular adrelinine sports are river rafting, rock climbing and parachute jump. Some of them are at first time very scared (from obvious reasons, they first think on the worst - death), but as they repeat whole "process" (ex. parachute jump) they start to enjoy much more, but there is no fear at all.
Excitement and danger give us an adrenaline rush, and sometimes we deliberately give ourselves that rush by seeking high-risk adventures. The first time we do them, sports such as white-water rafting, rock climbing, and skydiving are wildly alarming (think "death-defying.") But they become less fearsome and more enjoyable the more we do them.
After that"initial" process, most of them simply start to love some adrenaline sport and they do it because of enjoyment and hanging out with people with same interests.
Even after the adrenaline-inducing thrill wears off, we may still keep at it because we love the sport and like hanging out with others who share our enthusiasm.
One of most dangerous situation is when people do some small "adventure" only because they want to prove themselves to other ones. They come unprepared and full of confidence, which isn't so good in all that dangerous advantures and sports. Situations like that end with tragic end.
But these madcap sports can be dangerous. Some of us try them on a dare, or to show off, or to prove something to ourselves and others. Others of us may find that the fastest route to a tragic outcome is to show up underprepared and overconfident.
Everybody like to do some adventures, because "life is only one" - some are opsessed with them, they are always in move, full of adrenaline and new impressions and they never get bored. Some do it sometimes, because somebody persuaded them and last ones never do it because they are too scared.
We all have just a single life. Experiencing thrilling adventures and pitting ourselves against life's scariest risks are ways to get more out of life. In fact, some of us become addicted to adrenaline and obsessed with thrill-seeking, forever hunting for new impressions to stave off boredom. Others of us enjoy an occasional adrenaline charge from a scary adventure.
Of course, the rest of us are a little too scared to try it at all.

Dear Abby: While cleaning out my attic yesterday, I found a letter that my daughter wrote to you a few years ago when she was 13.
She was responding to a poem that had appeared in your column, "Legacy of an Adopted Child."
She was going through a very trying time and was being bullied because she was adopted and looked very different from her parents.
That poem helped her greatly. Can you reprint it for others? - Proud Mom in Greenville, S.C.
Dear Proud Mom: With pleasure. The poem is part of my "Keepers" booklet:
Legacy of an Adopted Child
(Author unknown)
Once there were two women
Who never knew each other.
One you do not remember,
The other you call mother.
Two different lives
Shaped to make yours one.
One became your guiding star,
The other became your sun.
The first gave you life
And the second taught you to live it.
The first gave you a need for love
And the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality,
The other gave you a name.
One gave you a seed of talent,
The other gave you an aim.
One gave you emotions,
The other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile,
The other dried your tears.
One gave you up -
It was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child
And God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me
Through your tears,
The age-old question
Through the years:
Heredity or environment
Which are you the product of?
Neither, my darling - neither,
Just two different kinds of love.
This poem is part of a collection of poems and essays that readers have repeatedly asked to be rerun because they hold special meaning for them.

DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit-area woman has pleaded guilty to fraud after illegally collecting money from an NFL pension plan years after her father's death.
Constance Helwig-Langlois (HEL'-wig LANG'-loy) is the daughter of John Helwig, who played defense for the Chicago Bears in the 1950s. He died in 1994, but pension checks kept coming until fall 2011.
The government says Helwig's wife told the NFL retirement plan that he was still alive. When she died in 2007, their daughter kept the scheme going. Helwig-Langlois pleaded guilty Thursday.
The payments added up to more than $200,000 over 17 years. A message seeking comment was left with Helwig-Langlois' attorney. The Waterford Township woman will return to federal court for her sentence on May 2.

I for one welcomed our new SNES overlords, until I realized it stood for Sony Network Entertainment (Subsidiary).
Wen microsoft extended Live to Windows, made imposible to be login on both machines. Don't do that again, please.
Also, the PC market already has everything, so simply the thing will not work, need to be the thing + some quality and as less drm has possible.
What? I can login to Live for Windows and XBox live at the same time no problems. It doesn't log the other account out or anything, works just fine.
I mean Games for Windows Live- just checked again to confirm it too. Playing CoD Modern Warfare 2 online via XBox live whilst signed into the same Live profile on Windows playing Where's Wally (or Where's Waldo as it's called in North America).
Definitely works fine, let's me stay signed in on both, can send messages to people on my list of Xbox live friends and receive responses on both the PC and Xbox at the same time.
I can be logged in my PS3 and PSP at the same time now, so don't worry too much
If they start having Blu-ray players for the HD TVs on the market with a hard drive, you could Download movies over the psn. and if they go that route you'll see alot more content for purchase online, maybe even blu-ray quality rentals right to your ps3? Purchases are now starting to all have digital copies, so in practice, if you buy one it should work on your pc, and or psp.
They have also been in the works for some partnership over 3D broadcasting and movies for launch in 2012. This new PSN may become mo
also, the PS3 meets the new accepted standard for HD 3D.
If they start having Blu-ray players for the HD TVs on the market with a hard drive, you could Download movies over the psn.
Be nice if you could do that on the PS3 for countries other than the US.
I can see a lot of uses for this, if you don't have a PS3 for example.
Turn on TV, go to PSN, start up VidZone.. Music videos right there on your TV, with no extra devices.
Just to name one.
Music videos right there on your TV, with no extra devices.
Be still my heart. You mean, I'll be able to watch music videos on my own TV? OMG!
Didn't MTV do this almost three decades ago?
Music videos right there on your TV, with no extra devices.
Be still my heart. You mean, I'll be able to watch music videos on my own TV? OMG!
Didn't MTV do this almost three decades ago?
Yeah but MTV doesn't do that in this decade.
Not on demand.
And it was just an example of use, amongst many.
May I remind you that NetFlix is coming to PSN soon, so that's NetFlix directly on your TV as well.
Different tv to the one the ps3 is connected to maybe?
Unless you've already blown all your cash on a ps3 and a sony tv of course
Why? Of what use is a network connected television? Unless I plan to stream from my PS3 over the internet to my TV, rather than using HDMI, I can't quite see the point of this.
Fewer Set-Top Boxes. Actually that's part of the problem. With narrow TVs you might not even be able to HAVE a set-top box. Maybe a sitting on the floor next to the set boxes. So reducing the number of boxes at the TV is one advantage.
Networks are designed to send data over longer distances than traditional technologies like HDMI.
great, more sony lock in.
Yeah! I'm going to go the other video rental services that don't require signing up for an account!
I'm going to go the other video rental services that don't require signing up for an account!
You mean TPB?
"lock in" is fine, provided it does everything you could possibly want the device(s) to do.
If, however, all devices don't work well together, sure it'll suck. If they "just work", I don't really see an issue with it.
"lock in" is fine, provided it does everything you could possibly want the device(s) to do.
Tell me honestly, have you ever heard of a "lock in" setup that "does everything you could possibly want the device(s) to do"?
Having a single account / ID for company wide services seems pretty obvious to me. If you take Apple for example, they have always had a single account for their online shop, itunes, app store, etc.
Now, as others have said, I don't know how this could be useful on devices like TVs and such. And sony isn't exacty known to be very innovative in that domain. I have a sony TV that can connect to the internet, but it can't do anything with that connection (not event upgrade its firmware).
As always, it's wait-and
I've long thought that consoles could be much better (from a user standpoint) if they were more open.
One example of this is the recent debacle with servers arguably shutting down "too soon" compared to other game types that aren't susceptible to that issue. Another example is that some people have several different consoles in order to play their favourite games and/or with their friends; this is of course a sales strategy for the vendors but not really in the interest of the consumer.
This news, of Sony expanding their console's reach essentially to outside the domain of the console itself, is good news for consumers: it shows that the boundaries are becoming hazy -- and you can't maintain strict lockdown on blurry borders. Ultimately, this ends up providing more choice for the user.
Now sadly, "more user choice" is not equal to "more user freedom" -- especially since this news is coming from Sony, peddlers of lockdownware above and beyond the call of duty. But still, if they are doing it, the other vendors are bound to follow.
I've long thought that consoles could be much better (from a user standpoint) if they were more open.
No way.
I played online games since modem days (PC-to-PC), to multiplayer BBS games, to the first Warcraft (remember Kali?), Starcraft, WC3, and most recently on PS3. On all these platforms, only the online games on PS3 allow me to play with random opponents, yet still have the level of enjoyment I got when playing with my friends. That is possible mainly because the PS3 is so lock down!
I.e., with the console locked tight, I can be reasonably certain no one is cheating. This is a big problem on PC games,
Cheaters certainly spoil everybody else's fun and need to be booted as fast and as far as possible, no argument there. But that's not what I meant. Cheating is a misfeature of the application (the game) which it certainly needs to be secure enough to withstand.
My point was rather that the *platform* that serves the application is becoming more open. It might even become common some day for games to function *across* vendors (analogous to how a Mac and a PC player can play Battlefield against each other).
his news is coming from Sony, peddlers of lockdownware above and beyond the call of duty
Call of Duty [wikipedia.org] is not a Sony game, but an Activision/Infinity Ward game, you insensitive clod!
Hopefully, they'll think about the problem of multiple simultaneous PSN connections. Right now, I have two PS3's and any given PS3 WANTS to be connected to PSN all the time (for news, licensing, downloads, multiplayer, etc, etc) but logging one in under my master account logs the other out. This is a Supreme pain in the butt if I want to play a game in one room while my kids play one in the other. I can only imagine what a mess it'd be if the TV (and the stereo and the PSP and the toaster, etc) wanted excl
Now instead of the 4 built in to the XMB, we can expect links to the store everywhere on every Sony device? It's bad enough on the PS3 - I don't want to turn on my TV/Walkman/toaster and be taken directly to an outlet for overpriced downloads that I never wanted.

Here, fixed it for you!...Microsoft doesn't have the air of legitimacy that ISO approval would have bought
Of course, Microsoft will address the changes and probably buy a few more votes. Their timetable is probably still not in jeopardy.
it's more amusing than that... OpenOffice and KOffice would have OOXML support before Microsoft... Microsoft are having enough problems themselves supporting their own format... they don't even have a compliant application available yet...Microsoft won't do that, because within a few months of them having an open standard, OpenOffice and KOffice will have OOXML support.
OOXML will be what people use if they must interact with Microsoft office.
In other words, OOXML will be what everyone uses?
Anecdote time.
About a year ago, a client of mine gave me a PDF and some source files and said "We can't edit this. Please fix the problem." The document itself was in Word 2.0. The graphics were WMFs. This thing had been originally created in Windows 3.1 and updated (with the WMFs) in Windows 95. The client couldn't open up any of it.
The Word file was basically a non-starter. I just ignored it and stripped the text out of the PDF instead. The graphics, though...The PDF refused to be opened properly in Illustrator, so I couldn't recover them that way. I also could not open the WMFs directly -- it was something about how they were tied to the original platform. What I ended up doing was digging up an ancient copy of Windows and and ancient copy of Illustrator, building a custom machine just for this operation, and recovering the files that way. The client paid about $3,000 for the privilege of being able to update one of their own files. Just one file, mind, and it had yet to be actually updated -- this was simply establishing the ability to update. All because they were couldn't see what a bad idea it was to invest their data in lock-in formats.
When I explained to the client how they had gotten into this mess, and how they could avoid it in the future, they stared blankly back. We use up-to-date versions of Word now, they said.
Oh, well, I thought, here comes another few grand in my pocket. But then again, in another few years, maybe nobody has these old copies of Windows and old copies of Illustrator anymore, and then they are SOL.
You've seen EMACS, right?
(I'm kidding you bastards!)
Remember folks, for a company of several hundred thousand, unfortunately not all are going to be good guys - theres plenty more that are however.
France, and I think some more, has suggested to split OOXML in two parts, one which is ODF compatible, one which deals with the old Office formats.
What is your view as being a MS developer, do you think Microsoft are able to do this?(I don't mean technically, merely politically) For my own I think that is a great idea.
As a disgruntled Microsoft customer, I'd like to ask "WTF?!"
Seriously, I don't believe the devs working within the company are bad, but you guys need to stage an uprising or something. The people running your company seem to be total dicks.
This "vote with your feet" bs needs to stop, seriously. It takes an overly simplistic look at the way a market actually functions in the real world -- which is not the same as the way it functions in this libertarian day dream. The fundamental problem with libertarianism is that it treats all markets as if they were perfectly competitive markets with low barriers to entry, when in reality, the vast majority of them are not.
If you seriously believe that substituting away from Windows, or from Word, is something that the vast majority of people here can actually do, then you're absolutely wrong. Listen, I don't own a Windows system -- I use Debian GNU/Linux exclusively. But Word and Windows are the defacto standard and living outside of that standard is impossible. Let's look at the facts:
Whether you want to admit it or not, there is massive inertia in the industry. Everyone runs Windows, and that keeps everyone else running Windows. "Just don't buy MS" is the most ridiculous statement in the world. Sure, if everyone stopped, then that would hurt their bottom-line. But even if every Slashdotter ever stopped buying Windows, MS would still be making billions. Every time a court slaps a fine of a hundred million dollars on MS, everyone on Slashdot whines about how it's a slap on the wrist and nothing more, because the company makes so much money it's sick. The exact same logic applies here.
What you're suggesting would only work if a large percentage of MS's clients all defected. It's like saying, "Big Oil acting badly? Just don't buy oil! That'll teach 'em!"
Come on, this isn't a perfectly competitive market. It's a monopoly. There's a reason economists think that those are bad.

yet? (verb at beginning of sentence)
Let's all thank the 1 country above quotum that voted no, otherwise this would have destroyed the credibility of ISO, IMHO.
Thank you VERY much, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, India, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, United Kingdom. I don't have money but you have my respect.
I submit though, that the job isn't over, but incomplete. The ISO seriously needs to look at fixing how Microsoft attempted to hijack the process to suit their own gain, and ignore the real purpose of International Standards.
Until this fixed, we'll see more of the same, on a greater scale. And not just by Microsoft. The end result would be the weakening of the usefulness of real standards, if the current system is left as it is.
Good luck to the ISO.
I think OOXML has gotten a lot of crap for bogus reasons. But OOXML is a buggy, broken standard.
Isn't being buggy and broken enough for it to take a lot of crap? Seriously, "spaceLikeWord98?" WTF?
To be honest, I really don't, just *don't* understand why people can't agree on satisfactory format. I refuse to use MS Word because it changes so much from version to version, you don't know how it's going to render in a different version, and it's closed anyway. Personally I use ODF and don't have many problems, but I believe you that there are inconsistencies. PDF does successfully give you consistent layouts, but it's only good as a final product. You can't really send someone a PDF and expect them
I fail to see the fuss, both formats suck and really have no place as a desktop publishing format. They are crappy WYSIWYG data dumps that are heavily tied to rendering algorithms of their respective editor and really are not archival safe.
Indeed. You'll also find that hammers are poor at undoing screws and cars aren't so good at taking you overseas.
What is it going to be like 50 years from now when you try to pull up an old manuscript? You know how Popular Science likes to pull up magazine issues from 40+ years ago, I wonder how they are going to manage that 40 years from now when the proprietary and open file formats are unsupported and "obsolete".
They'll use a format that actually meant for that sort of thing like, say, PDF.
The point of "WYSIWYG" is not - despite what a lot of people (including those that should know better) think - that a document looks the same on computer B as it does on computer A. It's that the document that comes out of the printer looks the same as it does on the screen.
Word processing != desktop publishing.
I fail to see the fuss, both formats suck and really have no place as a desktop publishing format. They are crappy WYSIWYG data dumps that are heavily tied to rendering algorithms of their respective editor and really are not archival safe.
Please provide references to ODF ties to OpenOffice rendering. I guess having it supported in other suites like MS Office (through third-party products) and KOffice means they are tied to OpenOffice as well. And please define "archival safe". As far
Microsoft puts its own spin on the result in this press release [cnn.com].
More information on the upcoming proceedings at ISO are explained in this discussion [noooxml.org] on the currently slashdotted noOOXML site. (my apologies for poor HTML in the original post that made <no>OOXML come out as OOXML.
Groklaw also has some commentary and more links [groklaw.net].It's clear that this is far from over. Microsoft will convince more countries to become O or P members in the respective committees and Further effort (exposing fraud, convincing your national bodies) is required to prevent OOXML from being accepted as a standard. But it is encouraging to see that resistance is not futile

Chiefs' McBride done for the season
November 19, 2008 6:48 PM
Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
The Chiefs lost another player to a season-ending injury when defensive end Turk McBride was put on injured reserve.
The Chiefs were hopeful McBride would be able to play through a shoulder injury, but it hasn't improved. It is a hit both now and for the future. The second-player player has a lot of promise and he will miss valuable experience in the final six games this season.
Defensive end will surely be an area Kansas City tries to upgrade in the offense. The Chiefs have a league low six sacks this season. McBride has one career sack in 10 NFL starts. He had three sacks in the preseason this summer.
Meanwhile, running back/return man Dantrell Savage was cut. He is a candidate to go to the practice squad

XML Parsing in Java Kit is an Eclipse plug-in composed of three parts: cheat sheets, visual XPath, and XML templates. The cheat sheets describe Parsing XML in Java, with descriptions of using the DOM parser, validating documents, using XPath, character references, etc. An interactive example of using XPath expressions is included. Visual XPath is an XPath expressions visualizer. It lets you evaluate XPath expressions, and highlights the corresponding parts of the XML document of your choice in response. The XML templates can be useful for working with XML documents with a Java editor.
kbd-cheatsheet is a small application that generates a list of Eclipse keyboard shortcuts from Eclipse's CSV export function. The shortcuts are grouped, sorted, and arranged according to user defined settings. Since the basis for the sheet is your current Eclipse installation, everybody can create their own personalised version.

Hugh Jackman Wins An Award He Hasn't Won Yet
The Museum of the Moving Image will honor Tony Award winner Hugh Jackman at its annual ceremony celebrating film's most beloved actors.
Hugh Jackman will finally be honored by one of the remaining New York entertainment organizations that has yet to recognize Hugh Jackman.
The Museum of the Moving Image will celebrate the Tony, Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle, Theatre World, Emmy, and Teen's Choice Award winner at its 27th annual "Salute" on December 11, held at New York's famed Cipriani's. The Salute, which awards recognition to the world's most beloved performers, has previously been given to stars including Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks, and Goldie Hawn. For Jackman supporters who were not invited to the ceremony [us], Jackman can be seen and saluted as Jean Valjean in the upcoming film version of the Broadway musical Les Miserables.
A longtime Broadway darling, Jackman received a Tony Award for his acclaimed turn in The Boy from Oz, going on to play to sold-out crowds with co-star Daniel Craig in the two-hander A Steady Rain. A former host of the Tony Awards, Jackman was honored with a special Tony Award in June 2012, the same year his sold-out one-man show Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway packed the Broadhurst Theatre. His other stage credits include Oklahoma! The actor is best known, perhaps, to movie buffs as muscled superhero Wolverine in the X-Men series. His numerous additional film credits include Baz Luhrmann's Australia, Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain, and Christopher Nolan's The Prestige.
Tony Award nominee and past Salute recipient Alec Baldwin (A Streetcar Named Desire), Oscar nominee Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married), Tony Award winner Mike Nichols (Death of a Salesman), Tony Award winner Liev Schreiber (Glengarry Glen Ross), and Oscar winner/Oliver Award winner Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardner), will be among the guests expected to be on hand to toast Jackman.
Funds raised from the Salute support the programs, exhibitions, and educational activities of Museum of the Moving Image.

Also known as the 'SEED Cart', Portland State's first-ever mobile greenhouse will be constructed entirely out of reclaimed and recycled materials. In addition to the lumber being sourced from the Rebuilding Center, the walls and roof of the structure will be made using 3,000 plastic soda and water bottles.
The project is being developed, designed, and constructed according to the Social, Economic, and Environmental Design (SEED) metric - a new standard for building which aims to address the full complexity of problems in an effort to achieve true sustainability. The SEED Cart continues to evolve according to a public participation process which engages many members of the PSU community from across campus.
Here's a model to get the ideas flowing. Are you interested in getting involved? Do you have design ideas, technical ability, construction know-how, or just want to help build the thing?

For comparison, the statewide average yield in 2012 was 43 bushels per acre, according to USDA figures.
A Dumas soybean grower has become the first Arkansas farmer to break the 100-bushel per acre mark, and it all came down to a fraction of a bushel.
"It was really, really close," Nelson Crow said Friday morning. Crow's yield from his 5.433-acre block was certified Friday morning at 100.82 bushels per acre.
"I hadn't planned to enter this year, but the way the year took off, and when I looked at the crop, it looked really, really good," he said. "I knew we had a shot at it, but didn't think we would ever do it."
For comparison, the statewide average yield in 2012 was 43 bushels per acre, according to USDA figures. That average yield has steadily climbed since 2000, when the average yield for Arkansas was 25.5 bushels per acre.
Upward trend
For years, achieving 100 bushels per acre seemed about like landing on the moon. About five years ago, the Arkansas Soybean Association asked the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board to fund an incentive program that has become the Race for 100, said Lanny Ashlock, a former extension soybean agronomist, who is now a project manager for the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board. The producer that reaches 100 bushels per acre could win a $50,000 prize, but if there are multiple producers with 100-plus bushels, the amount would be divided among them.
Jeremy Ross, extension soybean agronomist for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, said he was surprised the magic yield number hadn't been achieved before.
"We've been close the last several years. We've had yields in the upper 80s and upper 90s. The potential was there and the stars lined up just right — the right environmental conditions, planted in the right field at the right time."
Hitting the 100-bushel landmark was part of a larger trend in the past two decades that swept in many factors.
"Fifteen to 20 years ago, soybeans were kind of a stepchild," Ross said. Since then, weaker cotton and rice prices, stronger bean prices and improved bean genetics encouraged growers to commit to more intensive management for soybeans and improved yields.
'A perfect year'
"It's been a perfect year for soybeans. I figured the 100-bushels would be broken this year. I didn't know it would be me," Crow said.
Crow said the variety he used, Pioneer 93Y92, had produced good yields in the 80-bushel-per- acre-range in the past, and thought it would be a best bet to hit 100.
He has high hopes for the rest of the 207-acre field from which the 100-bushel beans were cut. "We are going to finish the field today," he said Friday. "I think the whole field is going to yield 85-87 bushels."
Contest plots are verified by three people who must be extension agents and certified crop advisers. Crow's fields were verified by Wes Kirkpatrick, Desha County extension staff chair for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture; Gus Wilson, Chicot County extension staff chair, and Dwayne Beaty, territory manager for Pioneer.
Crow and his crop consultant walked the field until they found the area they thought could be a winner. The plot was measured and marked off with bicycle flags. The area immediately surrounding the field is trimmed so no other beans would sneak into the contest plot. The verification process also includes certifying that the combine, as well as the truck that would haul the beans to the scales for weighing, were empty, Kirkpatrick said.
It was a sign of the good harvest times when the first elevator they took the beans to on Thursday evening had too long a line to wait through, Kirkpatrick said. They wound up using the scale at Riceland's Pendleton plant, where the most important document would emerge: the certified weight from the scale.
"I feel like there are more than just this one field that will get 100 bushels this year," Kirkpatrick said. "There are some really good beans down here. We've had a cooler summer, and although it's been dry, most of our ground is irrigated. We have some high-yield potential."
'Like a Quarter Horse taking off'
Beaty said "the thing that was the really important factor was that Nelson did this with a 3.9 maturity group. Almost all of the top end yields in Arkansas in the last few years have been 4s."
Soybeans are categorized by the latitude for which they are adapted. In Arkansas and the mid-South, Groups 4, 5 and 6 are most common. The .9 indicates Crow's variety is one of the later maturing in Group 3.
Ashlock said the Group 3s are very fast maturing. "They're like a Quarter Horse taking off," he said. "You have to be on top of your management game.
"If you're a day late on irrigation, that's going to significantly impact yields; same if you're late on fungicide or insecticide," Beaty said. Crow's yield reflects "really good management on his part."
Arkansas' high summer nighttime temperatures have been the biggest obstacle to achieving triple-digit yields, and 2013's cooler summer has helped, Wilson said. In addition, he said, "We've got good technology, better varieties and more tools."
More big numbers expected
Wilson and Kirkpatrick will likely see more of these high yielding fields soon.
"Between us, I think we have 30-32 entries into the Race for 100 in our two counties," Wilson said. "It takes half, to three-quarters of a day to verify these entries. Wes and I will be pretty busy in the next few weeks."
"I would put our producers in southeast Arkansas against anybody in the United States," Wilson said.
Shannon Davis, chairman of the Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board, called Crow's achievement "something that not only the growers can be proud of, but also that the university's research, funded by checkoff dollars, is paying off."
Davis also said the board would ponder what the next yield goal might be.

IRIN Examines Exclusive Breastfeeding Practices in Kenya
December 6, 2012
IRIN examines exclusive breastfeeding practices in Kenya, writing, "The country's push for exclusive breastfeeding appears to be working; according to the 2009 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, 32 percent of babies are exclusively breastfed up to the age of six months, up from just 13 percent in 2003." Kenya hopes "a new law (.doc) banning the promotion of infant formula ... will contribute to the government's push to encourage all mothers to breastfeed exclusively for at least six months," the news service writes. IRIN continues, "Kenya has adopted the [WHO] recommendation that HIV-positive mothers should exclusively breastfeed their infants for the first six months of life, introducing appropriate complementary foods thereafter, and continue breastfeeding for the first 24 months of life."
"Nevertheless, challenges to safe infant feeding -- a major part of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission -- remain," IRIN writes, adding, "[M]ost infants are still given complementary food before they hit the six-month mark, something that can be partly attributed to misinformation and cultural pressure to provide complementary feeding." According to the news service, "Experts say the message of exclusive breastfeeding must be disseminated across the board, and not just to specific groups of women." IRIN adds, "Studies have shown that some women in western Kenya eschew health center deliveries because they believe it is only necessary for HIV-positive women. Similar misconceptions may affect exclusive breastfeeding rates" (12/4).

Just a few hours after official launch, one NeoGAF forum member managed to "hack" his way into the Miiverse admin panel and debug menu.
"I found an admin access list or something to that effect," the forum member, named Trike, wrote. "I couldn't really do anything from there though. I could view different messages from a developer. One mentioned that there would be big games coming out (announced?) on the 10th of December."
Nintendo acknowledged the "breach" but affirmed that it was not a result of a successful hack. ""It has come to our attention that some people were able to access a mock up menu on Miiverse following the launch of Wii U in the US," Nintendo said in a statement to the press. "Please note that this was only a mock up menu and has now been removed and is not accessible."
All Trike had to do to gain access to the debug menu was pressing "X" while hovering over the exit button in the Miiverse menu. Needless to say, this has been disabled shortly after the forum post went online.

After a couple of days of spring-like temperatures, winter weather returns today with rapidly falling temperatures and breezy conditions moving across Macomb and Oakland counties.
According to the National Weather Service, a cold front will bring cooler temperatures that will allow moisture left from earlier rainfall to freeze, creating slick spots or �black ice� overnight on area roads and highways.
With cloudy conditions, the temperature as of 2 p.m. is 54 degrees, but will fall to 49 by 4 p.m., into the 30s around 6 p.m. and down to 25 by 10 p.m. There is a chance of rain showers or drizzle for the rest of today.
Winds are out of the southwest at 18 to 21 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph. Heading into tonight, there is the potential for gusts as high as 45 mph.
Lake effect snow showers arriving Thursday could result in accumulations of 1.5 to 2 inches, according to the forecast. Thursday�s high will only be about 26.
Cold weather will stick around for the weekend with Friday�s high only 20 and 24 on Saturday. A slight warmup is expected for next week with temperatures in the 30s for the early part of the week.

Dimitri Rotov had a wonderful post years back (apparently irretrievable by Blogger's atrocious search box, as I cannot find it) in which he gently mocked the internet surfer's all too often complete lack of compunction in intruding upon individuals they don't know, seeking their free "expert" advice.
I do not collect antique Civil War books, nor have I ever claimed any expertise or really much interest in them at all, yet many of the emails I get from individuals consist of someone wanting me to appraise (or relate "what I know" about) this or that mid to late 19th Century Civil War book. For those that know how to properly address a stranger from whom one is requesting a favor, I try to do what I can, which usually isn't much at all given my lack of knowledge. Sadly, those types of missives are the minority, with most consisting of rudely insistent and crudely written demands that just make me shake my head. I would hate to be a customer service rep. The most recent one I had lacked a salutation and just listed characteristics of some old CW book I'd never heard of. I didn't answer as no question was even asked. The next morning the same person emailed me with an all caps demand that I immediately share all I know about the book. It's quite obvious these people are not my readers, more likely clueless relatives looking to see how much grandpa's dusty old book is worth and finding me (lucky me) on Google. Even the ones I can help rarely take the time to thank me. I would send these people to Paul Taylor if I disliked him.

MONTGOMERY | President Barack Obama's re-election put Medicaid and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on the front burner for Alabama policy-makers.
MONTGOMERY | President Barack Obama's re-election put Medicaid and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on the front burner for Alabama policy-makers.
Republicans in the state Legislature had hoped for an Obama defeat and the promised repeal of the health care act by challenger Mitt Romney. The reality is that the health care act is law, and Obama will be in office to protect it.
Gov. Robert Bentley has two choices concerning federal medical mandates, including one that has a deadline next week.
Bentley has until Nov. 16 to inform the federal government if Alabama will create a health insurance exchange for consumers to check out medical insurance policies. If he doesn't act, the federal government will create a health insurance exchange and no one knows yet how that will affect choices or how much it will cost.
Having the federal government choose is unpalatable to some legislators on the Permanent Joint Legislative Committee on Medicaid Policy that met Thursday.
"I do hope that Alabama moves by filing paperwork defending our state's rights with a state exchange and not risk a federal exchange," said Rep. Greg Wren, R-Montgomery, the committee chairman.
"Our position remains that we will let the federal government know our intentions by the Nov. 16 deadline set by the Department of Health and Human Services," Bentley spokeswoman Jennifer Ardis said in a released statement.
The other decision is whether to expand the joint state-federal Medicaid program, which could cost Alabama taxpayers millions more toward the end of this decade. There is no immediate deadline to expand Medicaid.
To prepare for changes, Bentley and the Legislature created Medicaid study committees.
"The Medicaid of the future is not going to be the Medicaid of the past," Wren said. "It's just not going to be."
Wren said the Medicaid program consumes 35 percent of the state's $1.8 billion General Fund budget, about $644 million. It's projected to require at least $100 million more next year at current service levels, hence the need for change.
Medicaid underpins the state's medical system and any significant cut could seriously affect the system and employment.
"We must focus on what's good for the state's economy," said Rep. Rod Scott, D-Fairfield.
About 1 million Alabamians are covered by Medicaid. An expansion could add 300,000 to the rolls.
"Taxpayers are demanding accountability and we're going to reinvent Medicaid," Wren said.
If Alabama expands and accepts federal dollars, the state will have to start paying a share of the expansion in 2017. By 2020, that share would be 10 percent.
"There's a lot of pressure for states to move forward with expansion," said Joy Wilson, health policy director and senior affairs council for the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Bentley told his Alabama Medicaid Advisory Commission to report before the February start of the 2013 legislative session.

Cicero Aspen Athletic Clubs has partnered with Conde Nast to raise awareness on heart disease through an experimental program called "Change of Heart."
Eight million women in the U.S. alone live with heart disease and it is the number one killer of women. Research demonstrates that 80 percent of heart disease can be prevented with the right choices involving diet and exercise.
With that in mind, Aspen scheduled one-hour heart-health Saturday classes throughout the month of February, known as Heart Health Month, to invite anyone over age 12 to participate in heart health classes which have included cycling, boot camp, yoga and Zumba. Aspen instructors who offered to teach the classes were compensated by Aspen, and participants paid $20 each. Each participant received a Change of Heart water bottle, a Go Red for Woman pin, informational booklet on heart health and a one-year subscription to SELF magazine and $5 of each $20 is being contributed to the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women program. Each club also had a drawing for a Nike bag which all participants were eligible for.
As this is experimental, a survey sheet was included in the Goody Bags, requesting feedback which will be passed on to the organizers at Conde Nast with the intention of continually improving and growing the program.
