I don't know if you guys are familiar with a book written by William Joyce called The Leaf Man. In 2013 there will be a movie released based on the book called 'Epic'. Unlike a lot of movies that are based on children's books, William Joyce is going to be the writer, producer, and production designer for the film. I'm not too sure what The Leaf Man is about because I never read it before. I do know what the movie will be about in some detail because I searched everywhere to find out. The film will follow a teenage girl as she wonders through a deep forest while there is a battle going on between good and evil. She finds herself there because she was transported by what I don't know. She eventually teams up with some individuals where she will try to save the world of her new found friends, as well as her own. The character that you will be drawing is called Nod which is going to be voiced by Josh Hutcherson. This lesson will show you how to draw Nod, step by step. There are more characters to submit so I will look into working on them as well. Here is the fun so enjoy. I will be back tomorrow with more drawing fun.

MacBook Air Portfolio |
11 Inch MacBook Air Portfolio
Product Details
Product Details
Quality ++This is a very high quality product of soft supple leather with a smooth zipper closure. It is immediately obvious why you would splurge on a piece like this. I'll use it forever. A perfect gift for someone who is hard to buy for.
Excellent QualityThe leather quality of this portfolio was worth every cent and more!! I absolutely love this portfolio. My MacBook air with a shell on it fits perfectly!!
What you would expect, but priceyLeatherology seems to be priced at the high end of this market. Their products are what you would expect and have the quality and attention to detail one would appreciate. One star off for the reaction when I told someone how much I paid for it. One star off because they sent me the wrong product which is almost identical to this (the Executive Zippered Portfolio).
MB Air PortfolioI have lived with this portfolio for a couple of weeks now. The fit is very good and the color is exactly what I wanted. Perfect for notes, a few papers and the Macbook.
I had some concerns about the feel of the leather, but I think it is due to the padding and I have gotten used to it. Had a few compliments on it as well.
Only thing I would change is the extra pockets for misc. papers, etc. They should open the other way. If you use the portfolio in right-hand mode, papers tend to fall out when you open it. It's that gravity thing. The Macbook stays snug.

The quantum physics joke Penny tells the guys in tonight's episode was told to us by Nobel award-winning physicist, Dr. George Smoot. Penny tells it in about twenty seconds. Dr. Smoot's version probably took about three minutes, although it felt a lot longer. No one had the heart to tell him to get to the punch line, proving my hypothesis that in addition to time slowing down as you accelerate, it also grinds to a halt when you're being courteous to a genius.
Thanks for the joke, Doc!

Andrew McConnell was a runner-up for Aperture's 2011 Portfolio Prize. His photographic series, The Last Colony, is an exploration of the Sahrawi, a group of indigenous people from Western Sahara. In contrast with typical war photographs, McConnell depicts their banal daily life, yet in a way that demonstrates their heroic ability to continue normal lives despite the impending threats they face.
At a glance, the Sahrawi woman walking along the shoreline appears to be an apparition arising from the misty, white sea-foam—the reminiscence of what trauma has left behind. She glides along the sand, cloaked in the cover of darkness, then stops and stands firm. Her whiteness radiates, as if the full moon itself fell from the sky, appearing, to some lucky onlooker, like a vision of courage. She is whole and she is hope.
Andrew McConnell is an Irish photographer who began his career as a press photographer in his home country. He has now branched out into exploring more in-depth documentary work. His work has appeared in such publications as National Geographic, the New York Times, and Vanity Fair.

You ought to be in pictures:
Exposure: Photos from the Vault is an exhibition of 50 images by Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Chuck Close, Garry Winogrand and other iconic shutterbugs, and it can be seen through Oct. 31 in the Denver Art Museum's new Anthony and Delisa Mayer Photography Gallery.
It also was the focus for Black & White, the annual CultureHaus membership bash. CultureHaus is one of the DAM's social and educational support groups, and its purpose is to "Connect the young at heart with art."
"Since photography was the focus, we thought it would be fun to have the cameras turned on our guests," said event co-chair Jenn McIntire. So the committee arranged for paparazzi to shoot souvenir pictures of the 398 guests against a "step and repeat" wall similar to those found at celebrity red-carpet sites worldwide.
The price of admission also included a dessert bar and beverages.

And so it begins...
I have spent the last 3 months considering and evaluating many different concepts for my next layout, in both T and N, and have finally settled on the highly original idea of Ribblehead (in T). To try and preemptively reduce the confusion with the two other Ribblehead threads, for the purposes of this forum I am calling mine Blea Moor. Although it will probably end up being called Ribblehead elsewhere.
The detailed design is still in flux, but the overall concept has settled down nicely.
Serious construction is scheduled to start in December.
The top level requirements are:
- a new exhibition layout, aiming for a first public showing in August 2018
- single-handed setup and fully automatic operation
- at least 2 trains in motion in the visible area most of the time
- as large as practicable, given transport and running-at-home constraints
- a narrow thread of railway lost in a large landscape
- no points
- few trees and buildings.
The main design features include:
- the visible area extends from the overbridge just beyond the Blea Moor loops through to the overbridge at the far end of Ribblehead station (2500m straight line or 2800m along the track in real life).
- two block posts (Blea Moor and Ribblehead) for train control, so 2 trains will be moving and up to 4 will be visible most of the time
- the layout will be a double track oval with no points, with half the track behind the backscene. Sidings and loops will be dummies. The Blea Moor loops will be designed for upgrading with working points if a decent product ever eventuates.
- the time period (for track plans, etc.) is not fully defined, but set prior to the line closure attempts, with loops at Blea Moor, double track over the viaduct, and either one single or two staggered platforms at Ribblehead
- built on either 3 or 4 baseboards, 5'-6'6"" x 2', with a total frontage of 16'-18' (final configuration still TBD)
- overall size and configuration as close to the prototype as possible, though probably requiring 10-20% length compression of the non-viaduct sections and curve straightening of the non-viaduct sections
- a curved baseboard design to support the 80 degrees of curvature over this stretch of track (although reduced to around 60 degrees by the compression), with viewing from the inside (east). This maximises the radius of the 180-degree curves at the ends, and allows me to set the layout up in the corner of a room at home for testing.
- minimum curve radius of at least 10" for the 180-degree curves, with negative super-elevation to try and keep long(ish) rakes of 4-wheel wagons on the track
- no gradients. The prototype gradient varies between 1 in 100 on the viaduct to 1 in 300 in the stations, but this will be ignored for simplicity and maximum train lengths.
- the control system will be a further upgrade of Sarum Bridge's, with independent control of each track, more than 3 trains per track, back-EMF feedback and anything else I can think of.
- all (or most) structures 3d printed by me.
A rough preliminary sketch of the design (Google Earth, slightly compressed in GIMP):
Nearly-final CAD shots of arches for the viaduct:

Jeffjoe: Phillip had stated: "Again, compared to World War II and other major wars of past generations, civilian casualties are virtually non-existent in Iraq. "Surgical strikes" with smart bombs have minimized civilian deaths (notwithstanding unsubstantiated claims made by anti-war groups like Amnesty International)." His suggestion was that anti-war groups cannot be trusted to accurately report civilian casualties precisely because they are anti-war. Not only did I find this funny because I had supposed that everyone was anti-war at least in theory, but groups like Amnesty international and Human Rights Watch, etc, are known to have some of the most accurate reporting on such figures. If you really want to be suspect of anyone you would want to question the group that had the greatest interest in the war, which is obviously the U.S., not groups like the above. These groups know they won't be able to stop the war (just as they have never stopped any other war) and they know there will be more wars. They are primarily there to document what takes place on both sides. Thus, they would most likely be the most accurate source of such casualties. As for smart bombs, they're only as good as the information they are fed. Here is a little piece from Slate.com on the subject: "Smart Bombs, Dumb TargetsDid overconfidence in precision targeting cause civilian deaths in Iraq? A new report by Human Rights Watch reveals, for the first time, just how persistently they tried to kill individual Iraqi leaders in this mannerand how consistently they failed.Over the course of the war, U.S. air forces mounted 50 so-called "decapitation strikes." The bombs accidentally killed several dozen civilians who happened to be near the explosions, but they killed none of the Iraqi leaders they were intended to strike.he problem was not with the bombs. The bombs were as accurate as advertised; they hit precisely where they were aimed. The problem was with the pre-strike intelligence; the Iraqi leadersthe bombs' targetsturned out to be someplace else." Not the best time to be an American.
"Unfortunately" I am goint to Europe for a vacation in a week. I probably won't have to worry about the plane trip, but we're hitting many of the big cities in Europe. At least I won't have to worry about Spain seeing as how they ran away from Iraq with their tail between their legs around the same time that the terrorists told them to get out.
Too much stuff going on for me to read it all, but I heard something about civilian casualties. Did at least 1 innocent Iraqi die cause of this war? Yes. Did Saddam kill this Iraqi? No. So obviously this war wasn't that great for this Iraqi
But since you bring up the issue, is it legitimate for a minority-elected president to wage a war that Congress did not declare to be a war? Why didn't they declare war if the justification is a clear and undisputed as some would suggest.
That Saddam may have had time to move WMD's to a different simply points to the fact that other countries are as equally deserving of war as Iraq, but that Bush is selectively discriminating. Why not Saudi Arabia if its all about democracy? Why not N Koreak with its nukes? This could go on and on. And are we really going to go to war with the whole middle east?
Quote from: jeffjoe on April 26, 2004, 07:09:13 AMBut since you bring up the issue, is it legitimate for a minority-elected president to wage a war that Congress did not declare to be a war? Why didn't they declare war if the justification is a clear and undisputed as some would suggest.First of all, the President was not "minority-elected." He won a majority of the electoral votes. If you have a problem with our Constitutional system, take it up with James Madison and company. The President won every recount that was ever done in Florida, and I don't want to get into "Bush stole the election" arguments.Secondly, Congress DID pass a resolution authorizing military force in Iraq. It didn't bear the title "Declaration of war," but as I'm sure you know, there has been no official "Declaration of war" since World War II, and there's various reasons for this having nothing to do with the merits of the Iraqi war. Incidentally, there's nothing in the Constitution specifically defining what constitutes a declaration of war. If Congress passes a resolution authorizing military force, that sounds like a declaration of war to me, and nothing in the Constitution says otherwise. Further, Congress has AFFIRMED its initial declaration by passing supplemental spending bills supporting the war (You know, the $87 billion that Kerry voted for, before he voted against?)Thirdly, the war is "legitimate" in the sense that a majority of the public supports it (and interestingly, support for the war has gone UP slightly in recent weeks, even in the face of increasing difficulties). The war is legitimate because the overwhelming majority in Congress support it. The U.S. is a republic, and the actions of Congress reflect the will of the majority.
First, he is a minority president in that he received a minority of the popular vote.

|Got my gold medal and diploma
|These two things make everything worth it!
|High School graduation
|High School graduation
Something that many people do not think about or realize when it comes to Paralympians, and many Olympians for that matter, is that the majority of us are only part-time athletes. The Olympians and Paralympians that you see on TV or in magazines only represent a very small percentage of the thousands of Olympic and Paralympic athletes and hopefuls who are striving to be at the top of their respective sport. All but a few players on the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team juggle hockey, school and/or work throughout the entire season. For myself, I have tried perfecting the balancing act of all three!
When I was introduced to sled hockey in high school, it never dawned on me that I was going to have to learn how to balance training, traveling and my school work. In the beginning, I didn't really think about it. I was so excited to have been introduced to sled hockey and to be working to earn a spot on the Paralympic team, that nothing else really crossed my mind, other than the fact that I had to keep my grades up. I figured out early on that one of the most important things was to talk to the "higher ups."
In high school, that was the school principal. Once I had her ok, I knew it would be much easier to get my teachers to work with me. I knew the importance of having this type of cooperation would intensify in college, so before I even started my first semester, I met with the dean of Southern Methodist University, explained my situation, my dream and my goals both on the ice and in the classroom, and he was 100-percent on board. Again, I knew once I had his support, it would be much easier to get the support of my professors. Each semester, I made sure to get into contact with each professor prior to classes starting, that way everyone was always on the same page. Even though I had their ok and cooperation, the biggest component relied on me keeping my grades up. My schedule was a little crazy. I usually had class from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m., training from 12 - 1:30 p.m., quick lunch, then class from 2 - 6 p.m., depending on the semester. And of course each night concluded with a few hours of studying and doing homework. Most people might say this is a crazy schedule that would become quite monotonous, but for me, the only thing I focused on was the possibility of a gold medal and being only the second person in my family with a college degree.
The motto of having no regrets fueled my fire and kept me on track. I knew I couldn't let me teammates down and since my academic career had always been so important to me, I also knew I couldn't let myself down. This juggling act was at its peak my sophomore year, which was the 2006 Paralympic year. I missed a total of 60 days of school that year due to our strenuous training and travel schedule. Through all of the classes, all of the training, and countless days of traveling, I was not only able to end my college years with a degree in finance and a 3.5 GPA, but I also won my first world championship gold medal to top off my senior year. At that point everything was validated, and all of the hard work and sacrifices proved worthwhile.
Post-graduation, a new element was about to enter the picture… Work! The most important step in interviewing and landing a job as a Paralympic athlete has been communication. I have always been upfront and honest about the time commitment and travel schedule that I have when interviewing for a job. Fortunately for me, Bank of America and every boss (four so far) I have had within the company has been extremely understanding and supportive! As long as I schedule everything out as soon as my hockey schedule for the year is released, I have never had any problems! Yeah, I blow through my vacation days by the end of June every year and have to take any days off the rest of the year unpaid, but knowing that I have a job I love when I get back home, and a company and boss the supports me 100 percent is a huge weight off of my shoulders. Now that I have the old 8-5 schedule, my training has been rearranged. Instead of training in the middle of the day like I did in college, I started training in the evenings from about 6-8 p.m. every day. I always try to do something on a daily basis, whether it is CrossFit, rowing, skating, etc. I try to challenge myself to make myself better each and every day.
After a while of just balancing the work/training routine, I guess, subconsciously, I felt like things were getting too easy, so I decided to go back to school to get my Masters degree, which is where I am today. I am currently attending University of Texas at Dallas, pursuing my MBA in finance and investment management. I usually take a class on campus and another class or two online. So that gives me three nights a week I spend training and two nights on campus for school. Friday nights and Saturdays have been claimed by my wife, Kathleen, and Sundays I skate. So as you can see, it has become quite the juggling act, and people often ask how I do it, and my answer is always the same… I don't think about it. I know I have to do what I have to do to accomplish the goals I have set for myself on the ice, in the classroom, and now in my profession, and I don't let anything stand in my way, not even only having 24 hours in a day, haha.
This journey and juggling act definitely sounds a little overwhelming, even to me as I read back over it, but the fact of the matter is this is the same juggling act that so many Paralympians and Olympians balance on a daily basis. Training, school, work, family, etc., are all so important, and where there is a will, there is a way. In the end, it is all worthwhile, and when I look back at what I have accomplished and what I still have to accomplish, I remind myself that anything is possible as long as I set my mind to it. Next on the list is the 2013 World Championships in South Korea, and I can't wait to tell you all about it!

If you ever scan links in Google News search results, you might have noticed articles paired with the names and photos of the authors who wrote them. Those are links to the authors' Google+ profiles, part of Google's attempt to bake its social network into all the ways you interact with Google services.
If an author hasn't taken steps to connect their stories to a Google+ profile, the story link in Google search results isn't paired with a Google+ page—except when Google's sometimes overactive algorithms take matters into their own hands. That's what just happened with a New York Times story about abortion, which was credited to Truman Capote—the famous author of Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood who died in 1984:
Search Engine Land has the full story on this one. The Times article is from 2010 and was titled "The New Abortion Providers." It was written by Emily Bazelon, who has a Google+ account but may not have gone through Google's official process for linking that account to her articles. But her one-sentence bio at the end of the New York Times story notes that Bazelon was "the Truman Capote law-and-media fellow at Yale Law School."
That was enough for Google results to show Truman Capote as the author of the story and provide a link to a Truman Capote account someone made on Google+ (which now seems to have been deleted). You would have seen the odd pairing of article and author if you were searching Google for abortion-related stories, but Google has now fixed things on the backend such that Capote is no longer credited as the NYT article author.
In a statement to Search Engine Land, a Google spokesperson said, "We want to help users see who's writing the content they find on the Web and engage directly with authors. To that end, earlier this year we began algorithmically identifying authors in some cases. We still encourage authors to add explicit authorship markup and verify their email addresses to provide the most comprehensive and accurate data."
I've seen numerous Ars articles attributed in Google results to the wrong authors, but in those cases they were at least attributed to another Ars author. With Google increasing automatic pairing of articles and authors, it's likely the Capote mistake won't be the last. But for sheer strangeness, it will be hard to top Google crediting an article to someone who died 27 years before Google+ existed.

Gov. Walker adds another out-of-state appearance to his calendar
Gov. Scott Walker is adding another appearance to his long line of speaking engagements.
The governor will be the keynote speaker at the Prescott Bush Awards Dinner in Connecticut.
The May 20 event is billed as the state Republican Party's biggest event.
The speech is one of many Walker has planned outside Wisconsin in the coming weeks, fueling speculation that he's preparing for a run for president in 2016.
The governor will be the featured speaker at Arkansas' Reagan Day Dinner on April 30. He will headline a Republican fundraising dinner in Iowa on May 23.
On June 9, Walker will give the keynote speech at a Republican Jewish Coalition fundraiser in Beverly Hills.
Last month, he was a featured speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.

Obama Considering Guard Troops on Texas-Mexico Border
By Spencer S. Hsu
President Obama is reviewing a request from Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) to send National Guard troops to the Mexico border in response to violence triggered by Mexico's fight against drug cartels, the White House said.
"We're going to examine whether and if National Guard deployments would make sense and under what circumstances they would make sense," Obama told reporters from regional newspapers on Wednesday, as reported by the Dallas Morning News and McClatchy Newspapers.
"I'm not interested in militarizing the border," Obama said.
In his most direct comments so far on the drug fight that has killed 7,000 people in Mexico since the beginning of 2008, the president praised Mexico President Felipe Calderón for "taking some extraordinary risks under extraordinary pressure" to fight the cartels.
Obama said he will present a plan "within a few months" to counter the southbound smuggling of guns and cash that support the cartels.
U.S. officials say the amount of violence that has spilled over into the United States so far does not warrant major concern. Nevertheless, Obama added, "I think it's unacceptable if you've got drug gangs crossing our borders and killing U.S. citizens."
Perry, who last month called on Washington to pay for 1,000 additional troops or federal agents on the border, called Obama's statement "a mistake."
"Washington has been an abject failure [in] defending our border," Perry told Fox News's Neil Cavuto. "I'm not going to sit back while the feds do not do their job."

At least we finally have a president that recognizes, that the biggest danger this nation faces right now, from any source, is right across our southern border. It's not the drug people. It's the Mexican governments tacit agreement, connivance with, and aid to their citizens who intend to take back Southwest America. The millions and millions of illegal aliens in America right now – mostly Mexicans -- are only a huge fifth column that is threatening to undermine our concept of what America is, our culture, and our business and financial well being. Admittedly, the problem spreads far beyond the Southwest.
But up to know, most American president's since Eisenhower have refused to deal with the situation, and members of congress have even jumped right in and helped the enemy, for make no mistake, every illegal alien is an enemy of this countries rule of law and order.
When this nation wakes up and resets our immigration laws to those of before 1965, and seriously starts to deport illegal's and throw their employers in prison, I will believe we are finally headed in the right direction.

After we send the troops to Medheho-We need to send troops the langly Park, Manassas, and Columbia heights and get them illegal alliens out of here. The illegal alliens make worse for legal alliens.

Instead of sending the olive-drab clothed great-great-grandchildren of Blackjack Pershing to the border, how about extraditing domestic US drug dealers to Mexico to face charges for complicity in the murders in Mexico?

A good start but 15,000 would be more appropriate. Buyers remorse JakeD, no, I like McCain and the strain probably would have killed him. Maher's humor having Palin ask for the launch codes is funny because she is not one step from the presidency. Keep posting all day here Jake, I think your neighbors prefer it that way.

ohreallynow and his buddy the bozo apparently are unaware that drug gangs (as well as men in the uniforms of the mexican army) are ALREADY crossing our borders and killing U.S. citizens. Of course, there are none so blind as those who WILL NOT SEE and who refuse to be confused with the facts.
Posted by: segeny | March 13, 2009 7:57 PM
...yeah because we never had a border problem before Obama was president, right?
Check this out:
"Standing here and talking to the California National Guard is a stark reminder of the failure of the federal government to secure our borders. I believe it is totally irresponsible for the politicians in Washington DC to have failed yet again to pass a comprehensive immigration reform plan and address this national crisis.
Until our border is secure, I know all Americans share my concern about drug trafficking and illegal immigration, as well as the possibility of terrorists entering our country undetected...
I agreed to send volunteer Guard troops to help the federal government do its job on a temporary basis. But make no mistake about it this is a federal responsibility and we need comprehensive reform of U.S. immigration policy so our sovereignty and public safety are protected."
- Arnold Schwarzenegger, June, 2006
* The federal government has agreed to reimburse the state for all costs of the mission. On June 15, President Bush signed a bill that appropriates $708 million to fund Operation Jump Start
* The National Guard troops will not play a direct role in law enforcement activities, including apprehension or maintaining custody of detained persons
* The majority of the National Guard troops will be "duration forces" which will serve from six to 12 month tours of duty on the border
* The National Guard will end its border mission no later than Dec. 31, 2008
Sure glad we solved THAT problem.

2. You're all copying from the same playbook
3. You all think from the same brain (not a very big one)
In any case, you bitter people need to face the truth which is that this is your democratically-elected President. If you don't like it, you can always leave. (Isn't this what you people were so fond of saying over the past 8 years?)
As a currently-serving military member (and one who's served through the entirety of the past administration), I fully support the decision to conduct prudent planning before committing troops to any mission. Keep in mind, as well, that any the National Guard, when in federal service, is bound by law not to conduct law enforcement missions. The President has to be careful in how he approaches this problem. Militarizing the border is not necessarily the answer.
So tell me, are you chickenhawks leaping at the opportunity to tap the already overstretched National Guard without thinking long and hard about whether it's absolutely warranted?

So, why do the dimwit Dummercrats like the
fake President from Kenya and Great Messiah
Barack Hussein Obama and his equally stupid
Sec of Homeland Security Former Arizona
Gov Janet Napolitano never learn from past
experiences like when George W Bush put
National Guard Troops on the Border and it
was this same idiot then Gov of Arizona
Janet Napolitano who refused to let them
carry ammunition for their weapons and who
tried every means possible to sabotgue the
Arizona State Legistlature Efforts to Pass
a Tough Employer Sanctions Law that strictly Prohibited Employers from Hiring
Illegal Alien and who allowed Phoenix Mayor
Phil Gordon and his pathetic Police Chief
Jack Harris to create a Sanctuary City out
of Phoenix AZ without a vote of the people
as well. And so don't ever count on Obama
and Napolitano or Phil Gordon to do a damn
thing to stop the drug cartels and the ever
growing violnce and increasing kidnappings
in Arizona and Phoenix,as I live here and
I have seen it all happening and getting
worse and worse ever day. Fire that useless
Do Nothing Janet Napolitano and Impeach
Barack Hussein Obama and Jail Mayor Phil

and send our troops to border with loaded
weapons and shoot to kill orders this time.

Well make up my mind!! You want to take a few months to decide? How many AMERICANS will be hurt in that time? On one hand you and your Democrat buddies say it's a Federal issue and the minute Texas says we'll do something you want to "study" the problem.
Tell you what; When armed intruders cross the border round up those who surrender, shoot the others and stack them on Calderon's side. Don't forget the body count. That way we'll know you're doing something.
Posted by: TexRancher | March 13, 2009 3:57 PM
Texas Gov. Rick Perry should do something about the guns going from Texas to Mexico. The state is suppose to make sure that guns are not sold to criminals or would be criminals. The flow of guns from Texas to Mexico is a big part of the problem and that is Gov. Perry's responsibility.

Oh God now the Fake President from Kenya &
Messiah Barack Hussein Obama is trying to
show us how Macho he is and what a real
military leader and great Commander in Chief Barack Hussein Obama is these days,
by angering the Communist Chinese by using
a US Navy Spy Ship inside China's Terrorial
Waters and Quick Sending A Single Pathetic
US Navy Destroyer to protect it.
And so,now the great military genius Obama
wants to send 1500 US Army National Guard
Troops,most like with unloaded weapons to
help the US Border Patrol secure our USA
and Mexico border. WOW Shades of George
W Bush redux here. As the last time we did
this stupidity then Arizona Gov Janet Napolitano,would not let them carry loaded
weapons or any ammunition for them and so
who is Idiot in Chief Obama's Sec of Homeland Security the Same Do Nothing Janet
Napolitano as we we all call her here in
Arizona and so I have to ask how much more
violence and kidnappings and drug traffic
and illegal aliens and terrorists will the
Bopsey Twins Barack Hussein Obama and Sleepy Weepy Janet Napolitano tolerate
here? It is damn sure time to fire Janet
Napolitano and Impeach Barack Hussein Obama. God Save the USA from these two fools.

the US Military and Never Served in Our US

Barack Obama is going to find even 1500 Free and Available US Troops of anykind,

help secure our US and Mexico Border,since
the majority of our combat units are still
tied down in Afghanistan and Iraq here?
Wake Up America and Impeach Barack Obama!

As many of the comments indicate, there is a pretty deep well of prejudice among whites who live near the US-Mexican border, thanks in part to stagnant wages, anti-union sentiment, and the disappearance of manufacturing jobs generally over the past couple of decades. Politicians like Rick Perry get elected in large part by inflaming those prejudices and resentments ... and Obama's response to his request strikes me as balanced and sane.
Posted by: sarito_n | March 13, 2009 11:04 AM
I would disagree with you there sarito. Dont confuse the medias coverage of the xenophobic groups near the border as the way most people there think about US/Mexico relations.
Most people down there have lived with and have gotten used to the interactions of daily lives between US and Mexican citizens - regardless of what Lou Dobbs will lead us to believe.
It is once the Mexicans and other brown people started arriving in places such as Des Moines, New Haven, Omaha, etc. places in the middle of nowhere where people had never seen a Latin American that it became a problem.
I do think, since the 2nd Ammendment will never be revoked here, that the US does have to do more to stop the influx of guns into Mexico - that would help a lot in the Mexican Army fight against the drug cartels. When a fight breaks out and the cartel has a bazooka and the cops have a pistol, that is not going to bode well.
I do agree with you that it is alos essential the criminalization of pot must be looked at, cartels get almost 2/3 of their revenue through marijuana, not cocaine, not heroin, not meth, not ecstasy.

it's easy to say, but just think, that who pay for the drugs, and who is selling arms to the the drugs dealers.
Just STOP consumming drugs and they will no have money to buy US arms
Stop US arms traffic.

The likely impact of sending troops to Texas border towns to patrol the streets will simply be to further exacerbate people's fears and create even more hysteria.
The more intelligent option is do our part north of the border to stop the flow of American guns and money to the drug gangs. While we're at it, we could take a look at whether the criminalization of marijuana has done anything to prevent people from using it -- I suspect not -- or if it simply fuels the economy of old criminals while creating new criminals to clog up our jails with nonviolent offenders.

Phoenix is ranked SECOND in the WORLD in kidnappings!!!!!!!!!!!! Fully ONE THIRD of the criminal felons in our prisons are illegal alien invaders!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So,also as another Arizona resident myself,
I have to agree with Carleen1977 as to what
good will it do our border security if
good old Do Nothing Sec of Homeland Security ex Arizona Gov Janet Napolitano,
and Loser Sec of Defense Bob Gates and our
Glorius Incompetent Leader in Name Only
Barack Hussein Obama the King of Mumbo
Jumbo Chicago Con Men,Barack Hussein Obama
follow President Nancy Pelosi's Orders and
send the National Guard back to the USA
and Mexican Border with unloaded weapons,
here in the day of increasing Drug Cartel
Violence and the fact that thanks to President Pelosi,Flunky Obama,Do Nothibng
Janet Napolitano Open Border Insanity which
has turned our 5th Largest US City Phoenix
Arizona into the Kidnap Capital of the US
will end up as the next Pelosi and Obama and Napolitano FUBAR and get a Hell of a lot of US Citizens and Our Unarmed National
Guard Troops all killed and more violence
and kidnappings as well. Impeach Obama!
Fire Incompetent Janet Napolitano!
Posted by: Ralphinphnx | March 13, 2009 10:21 AM
So,as an Arizona resident I must question
why WAPO Obama Shill Spencer S Hsu,the most
pathetic excuse for a WAPO Reporter also
failed to mention Arizona Gov Jan Brewer,
who replace Do Nothing Janet Napolitano,
now Obama's Incompetent Sec of Homeland
Security or is it Homeland Insecurity has
also requested President Nancy Pelosi's
Flunky Fake Co-President Barack Hussein Obama to send the National Guard to the
US and Mexico Border? So just keep in mind
here that anything written by Hsu is never
very accurate and always has a Pro-Obama
Slant to it my friends...Since as Gov of
Arizona Janet Napolitano Would Not Let the
National Guard Troops Have Loaded Weapons
to supposedly patrol the border with the
border patrol and turned them into 6000
US Border Patrol Coffee Makers,Border Patrol Vechile Washers,and Janitors. And that will be exactly what Sec of HHS Janet
the Do Nothing Napolitano and Gutless Sec
of Defense Robert Gates and Odumbo Obama
will use them for this time as well.
So once again we see yet another President
Barack Hussein Obama FUBAR in the making,
as these unarmed Army National Guard Troops
will either end up get killed or kidnapped
by the Mexican Drug Cartels as well.

Texas President Chuck Norris should do something rather than asking the United States for help. Deal with your own problems.
Posted by: dem4life1 | March 13, 2009 8:09 AM
Another great obama nuance. A state requests help in keeping Mexicans from coming across the border and killing Americans and Obama says, "will present a plan "within a few months" to counter the southbound smuggling of guns and cash that support the cartels." I guess we will be looking north while the killers are coming from South.
Does anyone wonder why banks are still failing?

President Obama says he does not want to "militarize" the border, yet seems to want to keep about 50,000 American troops in Iraq indefinitely and increase the United States military role in Afghanistan. Pax Americana seems more important, whether Bush or Obama is president, than securing our nation's border.
Posted by: Aprogressiveindependent | March 13, 2009 2:22 AM
I have watched the border situation continue to go bad having lived in San
Diego for years & friends in AZ. Screaming
to me in E-mails they are so afraid and too
old to sell or run. I believe strongly that President Obama MUST take action immediately if this situation is to be controlled for its razor edge now and can only grow in its current state. There is
still hope with immediate action but soon
it will be hopeless just as our senate
and congress are. Having lived through
one depression and looking back I have never seen such selfishness and greed in my
worst nightmare which only makes this situation worse for earmarks are eating up
monies that are needed to keep our country
safe and secure. Thank You.

I thought Texans were tough and self reliant and didn't want or need the federal government in their state. Why don't they just send the Texas Rangers and Chuck Norris down to the border to keep the peace? Are they afraid of these narco-gangs, and want Obama to protect them?
Posted by: rkerg | March 13, 2009 1:32 AM
Makes sense for the President to do this. Mexico has long fallen into the control of corrupt drug lords and something needs to be done down there.
Perhaps "militarizing the border" IS the answer until the Mexican government can get control of its own nation.
Posted by: RealTexan1 | March 13, 2009 12:20 AM
I totally agree. The Mexican drug cartels poise our biggest homeland military-social threat. Send troops to the border to protect our border town and hopefully kill and handcuff some criminals along the way.

In this day and age when we hear about women having body image issues because of all the thin women they see in magazines and on TV, I expected that studies would show that people who are obese see themselves as more overweight than they really are. However, a study by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas found that most people who are obese don't see themselves as obese. And worse yet, they don't think they are at increased risk for health issues.
Another study found that the rate of metabolic syndrome in the United States has increased.
It's no wonder that a group of health and fitness leaders who met earlier this month at the Washington Ideas Forum to talk about the obesity epidemic agreed that too many Americans lack basic knowledge about health, fitness and nutrition and that lack of knowledge blinds Americans to the fact that they are unhealthy.
What does this mean for our industry? It means that we may have a bigger task ahead of us than any of us thought. I never thought that unhealthy people wouldn't know they were unhealthy. How do you attract someone to your club who doesn't know they need your club?
It sounds to me like more people in the industry need to get out and speak to community groups to educate their market about what healthy is. That's the first step: get people to see what healthy looks like and then hand them a mirror so they can see that the reflection in the mirror is an unhealthy one. Once they accept that they need help, you can be there to show them the way.

Miami (CNN) -- Waves gently lap at the shore. Palm trees rustle in the breeze. A boat drifts by. For those who like to work out, there's no better place. This is one of Miami's new outdoor gyms.
Miami -- known for its lively nightlife, tanned skin and tiny clothing -- was slapped with a big, pudgy curve ball in 2009, when Men's Fitness magazine named it the fattest city in America.
"I thought we'd be prettiest city in America," said Miami City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff. "And interestingly enough, we didn't come in second or third, we came in the fattest city in America. And I just wanted to change that image."
Sarnoff is an active middle-aged man -- his crutches from a recent ski injury serving as evidence -- and he took the distinction personally.
"It's who I am. I want to make sure that I work out personally for as long as I can, I think there's a segment of Miami who wants to do the same thing and I want to provide the opportunity to do it no charge in a beautiful environment."
Sarnoff used quality-of-life funds, given to all Miami city commissioners, to buy outdoor workout equipment. Some commissioners use the money for things like traffic circles.
But in three public parks in Sarnoff's district, at a cost of about $55,000 per park -- there are platforms with machines that work the back, shoulders, arms, chest, legs and abs.
"Before I became commissioner, the only thing I remember getting from government are garbage cans," Sarnoff said.
"And that's a harsh, horrible thing to say and yet it's what I remember. I wanted to be able to give people back something that is very personal to them and to me exercise equipment and a brand new running surface is very personal to people. And if you use it an hour a couple days a week, it puts a smile on your face for that period of time."
If 9:00 to 10:00 on a Monday morning in Kennedy Park was any indication, the idea is putting a smile on dozens of park visitors a day. The equipment was used steadily, by people of all ages.
"It's really wonderful to come and take a walk in a beautiful park and work out a little bit," said Milley Cassanova, who together with her retired friend tried the gear for the first time.
Roofer Alvar Contreras comes to the park in between construction jobs.
"I can't join a gym because I don't know when I am free or when I am busy," said Contreras. So the free gym is a perfect fit.
In Miami, the outdoor gyms so far are confined to Sarnoff's District 2 borders, though he's working to change that. But Miami Beach -- home to the land of tiny bikinis and glistening skin that is South Beach -- has its own set of outdoor gyms.
Rhonda Gracie, landscape projects coordinator for Miami Beach Parks and Recreation, had the challenge of finding equipment that could survive the salty ocean air and sandy beach.
"On the beach, directly off of the water, we probably will get five to seven years we expect for the life cycle -- which is really a great value. We get about the same with our playgrounds," said Gracie.
"And as a result for the amount of money we're spending, the amount of use that we're getting, it's really pennies per day."
Gracie has spent about $80,000 on three gyms on Miami Beach. And while it's hard to track results from the money spent -- after all, how do you prove overall health is better because people are using the gyms? -- to the regulars, like 89-year-old Sal Cappi, it's money well spent.
Cappi is a member of the South Beach Community Fitness Organization, a group formed after the outdoor gyms were installed.
"I love it because all these young guys, you know we get together, I ask them what they eat, they ask me what I eat, we get all different ways of diets and stuff which is very important, and exercise is good for your body and mind. That's why I do it."
Standing in the sun, listening to the seagulls, and looking out at the blue water (not a bad place to cool off after a work out), you can see why these gyms are so popular.

If there are 20 bit columns (non-null boolean), is it better to explicitly hold them in an integer type (int32)? Or, will the underlying database merge them in a single integer?
I'm using PostgreSQL, though. Generally, is using bit-mask in SQL databases kind of anti-pattern?
Backgrounds: The usage of these bit columns are left to be defined by the end user, along with a few of other int, float, double, varchar columns, so as to make the table a little more extensible. I'm also not going to use one-to-many custom property table in practice. Add an integer column is cheap, but if the underlying database could store several bit columns in one int32 field, I don't have to explicit merge them myself.

Actually im not, but since you're here...
I'm new to the these forums; i came across them when googling "Java Programming Help". This community is extremly helpful. My first thread got 2 replies in less than 5min, and the users stuck with me until my issue was resolved!
I'm pretty newbish when it comes to java; i just recently learned to apply data structures to my programming, so thats the level i'm at.
I do have more experience with C++, but my university is more Java focused so i had to learn this language. To be honest, i actually am starting to prefer it over C++
I hope that in joining this forum, i can lurk and learn more about java. Hopefully answer some simple questions as well, to help out the community. My objective is program and sell a game that is very early stages of development,
So that is me. I'm glad to be aboard

Types of regional anesthesia include epidural and spinal. Both involve injecting medications in or near the spinal canal.
Another type of regional anesthesia, a peripheral nerve block, is often used for knee, shoulder, or arm surgery. The anesthesia is injected near clusters of nerves that feed the arms or legs. A cervical nerve block is a type of peripheral nerve block for surgeries in the neck or arm.

If local anesthetic is used, you will slowly gain sensation and motion again in the area that was numbed. It can take a few hours or longer before your sensation is completely back to normal. If treating for pain, the pain will return in a few hours, and the relief may take up to 2 weeks. Any pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
While the regional anesthesia procedure itself takes several minutes or longer, its effects typically last for 2-6 hours.
Depending on whether sedation or local anesthesia is used, you may feel slight pain or tingling with the injection. The anesthetic will prevent you from feeling pain during your surgical procedure. You may feel that your limb may be heavy initially and then light later on.
Your postoperative care will depend on the nature of your surgery. Most likely, you will receive instructions about limits on your diet and activities.
Once the anesthesia wears off, sensation will return to the region where pain was blocked. You may have to restrict activities, such as driving, since you may feel numb or drowsy as your anesthetic and sedative wear off.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection such as:
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Sevis Fee Information
- Individuals seeking initial entry to the U.S. in F-1 (Student) or J-1 (Exchange Visitor) status, as well as individuals seeking a change of status to F-1 or J-1, are required to pay a fee: $200 for F-1 students and $180 for J-1 Exchange Visitors. The fee supports the automated system (SEVIS) that keeps track of students and exchange visitors and verifies that they are in valid status while in the United States.
- You must have proof of payment of this fee before appearing for a visa interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
- If you do not need a visa to enter the U.S., you must have proof of payment of the fee before seeking admission to the U.S. at a U.S. port of entry.
- If you are applying for a change of status to F-1 or J-1, proof of payment of this fee must be submitted to USCIS along with your petition.
- You may pay this fee yourself, or you may have someone else pay it for you. The person paying the fee must have the following information available: (1) your passport number; (2) your SEVIS ID Number (the 10-digit number preceded by N, located above the bar code on page 1 of the I-20 or DS-2019 form); and (3) the Detroit Mercy School Code as indicated on the first page of your I-20 in section #2 (for F-1 students) or the Program Number: P101811 (for J-1 students).
How to pay the SEVIS fee
Online payment by credit card
- Acceptable credit cards are Visa, MasterCard, or American Express issued in the U.S. or overseas.
- Web address: http://www.FMJfee.com

Awe, come on, I know you do. I interrogate myself on a regular basis. What if I had not done that activity? What if this particular food really can help me? Is it too warm, is it too cold? What role does the weather play in how I feel? What price will I pay later for going here or there?
I spoke with a friend yesterday who had just been to see a new rheumatologist. She said he explained to her he does not give his rheumatoid arthritis patients pain medications. I wonder, isn't that tantamount to a surgeon saying, "Sure, I'll operate on you, but I don't use anesthesia?"
I've always been fascinated by the twists and turns of life. Do you think they are mere coincidence? Are they planned and if they are, who planned them and why were you not consulted? Are they really your subconscious wanting you to be sick, in pain or handicapped? Could those cold hearted friends be right?
Is there some giant in the sky who moves us around like pieces on a chess board?
How do you justify a belief in free will when you trust in a higher being? There must be a correlation, don't you think?
Do you ever read a quote and have it hit you between the eyes, as if you've never read it before, like "There are no atheists in fox holes?"
If I continue to shrink in height, and live a long time, will I have to shop in the children's section for clothes? It's not a bad thought. I do like pink leather boots and I've always wanted a Minnie Mouse jacket. You guys, who are growing shorter, just think, you could wear super hero clothing all over again; although Mater duds are awfully cool. Remember how your mom used to complain she couldn't get the stains out of your Superman undies? Oh, I know…don't go there.
I often wonder what life will be like for me in ten years and will I still be upright, supine or even still breathing? I know, wherever I am, and in whatever position, I'll probably still be talking, don't you? I know my dear husband thinks so.
Do you ever wonder how the folks at the FDA feel when new sweeteners, new drugs, abdominal mesh, heart valves and prosthetic implants are discovered to have devastating side effects? Don't you wish those "ambulance chasing" lawyers with their ads on TV could be a little less pleased that someone's life has been altered?
When you're out and about and see a couple fighting, do you ever wonder if they ever loved each other or maybe for them, it's foreplay? Along the same thought, do you ever wonder about those parents who are always screaming at their kids in public and wish life was a cartoon and you could "zap" them with a gamma ray and put the children in a good home someplace else?
Do you ever dream you are without pain then awaken suddenly to a throbbing knee, hip or back? Doesn't reality come pouring in like a rushing wave at those moments? Don't you usually sit bolt upright to keep from having that drowning sensation?
Do you ever think you will never sleep again? Those are the longest of all nights, are they not?
Aren't there times you wish you could put a "hex" on someone rude or hateful so they could feel what you feel everyday…just a mini, short-lived "hex?" While I'm on this subject, do you ever feel so badly you're certain your head is going to spin around and you're going to hurl pea soup?
Do you ever wonder what to say to those well-meaning individuals who say, "Are you feeling better?" Let's see? You want to say, compared to what? I feel better than a squished cockroach but not as good as a romping kitten. I feel better than some poor soul in the news who just had his house float away but not as good as the heroic fireman who rescued that same poor soul from a tree before he followed his house downstream.
Do you constantly wonder, like I do, if you are any use to anyone now or ever will be again? Then you start searching for some way to make that a false statement?
Do you ever wonder how your spouse puts up with you? No? Think again.
Do you sometimes have to check yourself to be certain everything in life doesn't evolve around you and your blasted pain? Life is bigger than you and prettier, too.
For most of us the famous "why me" was asked long ago and is now a moot point, don't you think? Would you rather it was your mother, your child, your spouse who has to live with pain every day? If you could "hand it off," who would you choose?
Did you suddenly look up one day and discover you were going to live in spite of the changes in your life and body; even though it would be with pain every day, but you felt infused with this feeling you could do it?
Have you ever felt death's gnarly hand upon your shoulder? It's cold and harsh, just as you would imagine it to be.
Have you ever experienced the feeling of God's enormous hands lifting you securely above the pain and suffering of everyday life? I've had the mini version many times but only once, after losing half of my blood volume did I feel it with deep assurance. The comforting peace was amazing. It was a surprising experience for me because I wasn't afraid and my only thought and prayer was for my young children to be cared for.
We will continue to wonder, search and inquire as we travel this journey living lives different than others who do not know physical suffering. It behooves us to remember suffering comes in many shapes and forms. We are not alone as each of us travels our journey of life. We have many who accompany us as we daily need to remind ourselves the world does not evolve around our needs or even our pain.
I wonder if you can find a way to reach outside your realm of hurt to aid someone else? It is the best of all medicines and takes us away from it for a while, if only briefly.
True, our pain is real but our perspective can change. Keep asking questions and wondering. That's the only way to find answers, isn't it?

BNP-45 represents the 45 amino acids at the C-terminus and the mouse BNP-45 has all the amino acid residues thought essential for NP bioactivity, although sequence identity when studied with other BNP hormones (rat, 64%; dog, 53%; pig, 50%; and human, 44%) was clearly less than the identity among ANF hormones. Further, sequence identity between rat and mouse BNP prohormones is found to be more conserved in the N-terminal portion of the prohormone than in the C-terminal BNP-45 (88% versus 64%). A protein kinase C phosphorylation site is found to be present in the putative mature mouse BNP-45 hormone at threonine 81. Comparing the amino acid sequence surrounding the proteolytic processing site for BNP-32 in human, pig, and dog BNP with the corresponding site for BNP-45 in the rat and mouse sequence we find that all of the secreted BNP hormones have an N-terminal serine preceded by an arginine in the prohormone sequence, and the mouse and rat sequences are highly conserved at the putative scissile bond (LKRVLR-SQ). Further comparative sequence analysis indicates that an arginine being present at position -4 relative to the scissile (R-S) bond in all mammalian BNP precursors. Thus, processing of BNP prohormones to both BNP-45 in rodents and BNP-32 in higher mammals appears to require a protease with a conserved recognition sequence (RXXR-S). Also, the conserved sequences in the BNP prohormones matches the consensus cleavage site for human furin, a calcium-dependent serine endoprotease expressed in mouse heart, and possibly having a role in processing BNP precursors.

Oh my goodness! Can you feel my excitement through your screen????? I have been thinking about hosting a mom's retreat for a looooong time. I mentioned it on here a couple of weeks ago and so many of you said that you wanted to come. So I spent 2 weeks scouring the country in search of the perfect place where all us moms could converge for a couple of days of peace and quiet. Some places were fabulous but cost a fortune. Some places were cheap, but were complete dumps. But finally, I found the perfect place!
The 2010 Mom's Retreat will be at...
October 22-24, 2010
You are going to love this place:
It just screams peacefulness and serenity! Harbourwood sleeps up to 14 people. There are 5 bedrooms with 6 beds, 4 inflatable mattresses and several couches. Even though that means that every person won't have their own private bedroom, if you're like me you'd sleep on asphalt just to get a night's sleep away from the kiddos. There are 4 bathrooms, a hot tub, hiking trails, a barn with farm animals, a gorgeous lake..
It is the perfect place to come and relax, recharge, and have fun with lots of other moms from all over the country. Take time to reflect and hang out without the stress of everyday life and those little rugrats we all love so much! I foresee many wonderful conversations on this deck in my future. And hours reading books in the swing overlooking the lake. And long soaks in the hot tub. (Can we just leave tomorrow!?)
I don't know about you, but I HATE to cook when I'm on vacation. And since I have designed this whole weekend to give you a break- I will not allow you to cook, either. We've gotten a fabulous deal on catering, so all of our yummy meals will be brought right to us. We are also having some local professionals come in to give spa treatments for your weary bones and muscles. The only thing you have to do is show up and eat and sleep and get pampered. Sounds like my kind of weekend!
And the very best part is that I created this trip with your wallet in mind. I know that so many of you stressed out moms are paying buckets of money for therapies for your kids. You or your spouse have been laid off. You feel guilty about spending money, blah, blah, blah. I know that. I want you to be able to go. So I am giving you 4 whole months to start collecting your pennies and line out some childcare.
Here are the cost details:
Lodging for 2 nights = 74.90
Catered food for the entire weekend= $49
Total Cost= $123.90 (yep- you can totally swing this!)
Extras You Could Do:
Spa Treatments- pay per rub
Adult Beverages- pay by the slurp if you are so inclined to bring it in your suitcase
The only other costs associated with this trip are your transportation costs. Cincinnatti is very centrally located so hopefully lots of you will be able to drive. Once we know who is coming and where you live, we can arrange some carpooling if you'd like. Or better yet, convince your BFF to come with you and split the costs of gas! If you are coming from far away, check priceline and Expedia for airline tickets.
If you are a bit nervous about getting together with a group of women you don't know at all, don't be! I'll put together a contact list of everyone before hand, so we can all email back and forth and get to know each other a little before we join together for our giant slumber party.
I already had to put down a deposit, so if you'd like to go, I need half of your trip costs ASAP to hold your spot. ($62) Spots are on a first come- first served basis. The other half will be due 30 days before the trip. Email me at email@example.com and let me know if you want to come along. If you have any questions (because I am sure that I am leaving out some really important info) leave a comment and I'll keep adding new info and answers there!
Hope that you can come! I can't wait to meet so many of you in person! And remember-YOU deserve a break! See you in Cincy!!!!!

Irvine woman who killed boyfriend will stay in prison, D.A. says
A parole board denied release Thursday for an Irvine woman convicted of killing her boyfriend in 1998 because she thought he had been unfaithful, the Orange County district attorney's office announced Friday.
Judy Diane Valot, 54, is serving 15 years to life at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla for second-degree murder.
Eight members of the family of victim Peter Theriault attended the hearing to oppose freeing Valot, who killed him weeks before Christmas and used her pickup truck to dispose of the body.
"After the inmate brutally murdered him for her obsessive, irrational and wholly incorrect belief he was engaged in another relationship with another woman, she then dumped his body somewhere in the desert near Blythe," the Orange County district attorney's office wrote to oppose Valot's release.
She and her then-13-year-old daughter were living with Theriault in Irvine in 1998 when Valot began suspecting that he was having an affair with a co-worker.
That December, shortly after booking tickets to visit his mother for Christmas, Theriault didn't show up for work.
After Theriault's boss forced Valot into filing a missing persons report, police found traces of Theriault's blood in the couple's apartment and the back of her pickup truck.
Valot has maintained her innocence throughout three trials and her incarceration.
That claim to innocence despite two guilty verdicts damages Valot's credibility to the point that she is not suitable for parole, the board decided.
Valot has refused to reveal the location of the body, which was never found.
Her next parole hearing will be in 2020.

In His quiver He hid Me." And He said to Me, 'You are My servant, O (Yeshua) Israel, in whom I am adorned.' And I said, 'I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for emptiness, and in vain. But my right-ruling is with YHWH, and my work with my Elohim.'

A man's disgruntled ex-girlfriend took it upon herself to harm his new girlfriend by running her over with a car in a parking lot Friday night, San Diego police said.
The incident happened around 10:30 p.m. in the 3400 block of College Avenue in San Diego's Oak Park area.
Police said a man and his girlfriend, both 26 years old, were driving on College Avenue when the man's 23-year-old ex-girlfriend saw the couple together inside the car.
U.S. & World
That's when the ex-girlfriend allegedly rammed into the back of the couple's vehicle. The man stopped the car in a parking lot in front of a Kohls store, and the ex continued to hit the couple's car, police said.
Police said the man's new girlfriend got out of the vehicle. The suspect then allegedly ran over the woman and fled the scene.
The victim sustained significant injuries to the lower half of her body and was taken to a local hospital. She is expected to survive.
Officers searched addresses for the suspect, and she was ultimately found and arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
The domestic violence incident remains under investigation. The SDPD did not release the names of the victims or suspect.

In a previous post we showed some of the typical points of measurement used by the tailored clothing industry. While we attempt to create sizing options based on extensive studies of anthropometric data, the reality is that no two bodies are alike and sometimes alterations are necessary to make a ready-made garment fit better.
In the next series of posts we will show what allowances have been built in to every Hart Schaffner Marx suit to allow for these alterations. The first is the sleeve length.
