Family: Vespertilionidae, Vespertilionid Bats view all from this family
Description As the name suggests, this is a large brown bat with naked, dark membranes. The tail is enclosed in interfemoral membrane. It has short ears, a keeled calcar, and a forearm length of 39-54mm. They use hollow trees, but are equally common in buildings, including barns and churches. Although hibernacula in caves are common, this species also sometimes hibernates in cold buildings.
Dimensions 87-138mm, 34-56mm, 11-23g
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Breeding Males are solitary in spring and summer, but females gather in small maternity colonies of 20-75 individuals and their young.
Habitat Forests & woodlands, Cities, suburbs & towns, Canyons & caves
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, Florida, Texas, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada
Discussion Widely distributed throughout North America, this species occurs in a wide variety of habitats, and frequently roosts in man-made structures.

I have noticed you haven't addressed any of the issues of his unethical actions towards the troops, or his 180 flip-flop on invading Iraq. Typical Fox-type response. If you have NOTHING to say, you attack....personal attacks work best. Are you related to Rove?
If you look at my posts, you will see I refer to presidents properly 99% of the time. Puppet boy refers to the fact he didn't run things, a fact well supported by his former corporate board members. (House of Bush, House of Saud, Unger 2004) So puppet boy slipped out, BFD. Truth is an absolute defense of slander! But I still try to show respect for the office, and succeed almost all the time.

Bush was indeed a puppet so there is nothing wrong with calling him a puppet.
Most polititians serve themselves and the people who send them the most money.
I see nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade.
If politians didnt affect american lives then it wouldnt be no big deal.
There is no doubt in my mind that most are liars,spinners and treasonist bastards,,
But because they wear a 3 piece suit and smile in front of the camera we think they are so wonderful and would never intentionally screw the people who put them where they are. Its all a fun filled exciting global game they play.
Few have the character to do the right thing,and they cover their intent by blaming things on others politicians. And most do this.its a massive web.
So I have no shame in calling them exactly what they are. I dont care how much they smile and appear in front of the camera.
These people lack integraty and character and are easily swayed by lobbiests.
There is only one reason people spends hundreds of millions of dollars to obtain a 4 year job which pays only a few hundred thousand a year.
They desire prestige and power.
I can guantee they have no idea whats good for us. They have played this game so long they have forgotten why they do what they do.
Its not name calling if its true. Its just a discriptive way of defining what you see.
I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs.
Mr Cheney would have been a far better POTUS than that marxist Osama, its a shame he didn't run for the office.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Another option would be to visit some of the limestone spring creeks that dot the Virginia country side especially around Harrisonburg. These streams maintain a relatively constant temperature and the trout respond to flies year round. For these streams I would throw large streamers and fish aggressively around any form of structure that would afford a big brown trout some cover.(Under cut banks and fall downs are some of the most prevelant.) You might also want to check out the Jackson and the Smith river. These streams/rivers are tailwaters and like the above mentioned spring creeks their temperatures will remain constant especially the first couple of miles below the dam. I personally have no experience with the Jackson or the Smith but I have read that the black fly is very prominent below the dams especially in the winter months.

I'm not sure of what's available in your neck of the woods, but in the dry part of Washington, usually it a low and slow game, looking for slow back eddies and at the edge of the froggy parts of the river, drifting nymphs deep, and watching for a Baetis hatch which occurs throughout the winter, but is usually a short hatch, using VERY small patterns in slow water. Keep the ice off your tip, and a snort of single malt available. Enjoy! Its the only time you get the whole river to yourself, and its sure beats watching NFL on the tube.

When GG Allin's prolonged and ordurous interrogation of his own existence ended at last in June 1993, when punk rock's abuser-in-chief finally exited the reeking stage via the trapdoor of an overdose, the informed consensus was . . . well, that's that then. There would be no musical legacy to speak of, because GG's music was godawful. Who could take anything from, or do anything with, the rubbishy noise that he made? And as a performer — helmeted in blood, throwing poo-poo, starting riots — he seemed to have taken the frontman-as-health-hazard thing to the limit. Après GG — nothing.
Perhaps that's why we still talk about him: there's no school of acolytes to disperse his influence, no clones or knockoffs to adulterate his memory. The new DVD Terror in America: Live 1993 (Music Video Distributors) catches GG on the last tour of his life, giving everyone hell. It's a gentler viewing experience than last year's Savage South: Best of 1992 Tour. GG in Terror is fresh from prison, and he looks almost pleased to be back with his band. Dressed for work in boots, jockstrap, rubber gloves, studded collar, and bloodstained lab coat, he measures out the stage with his distinctive lumpy swagger before going predictably berserk. But there's a little less horror. Lots of bashing himself in the head, yes, and some random swinging at the crowd, but this is standard damage, just GG setting the mood. The abject, essential figure captured in Savage South — naked and raging, daubed in his special palette of blacks and blues and browns and smeared reds — does not materialize.
Once again, though, we ask ourselves: who the hell is this person? What happened? Can anyone explain it? Perhaps Joe Coughlin can. Coughlin — 46 years old, works in a cemetery, resident of South Boston — knows a thing or two about GG Allin. Why, he (almost) wrote the book. In 1992, during a conversation with GG's brother and bassist Merle, Coughlin was handed a document purporting to be the life story of GG Allin, self-penned. The childhood in the two-room log cabin in Northumberland, New Hampshire, the terrifying father who christened him Jesus Christ Allin (his mother later changed his name to Kevin Michael, but Merle still called him JeJe), the years spent wolfing peanut-butter-and-dog-food sandwiches in Boston rooming houses, the bands, the beatings . . . It all seemed to be there. Coughlin, a non-professional writer, asked to be allowed to work up the manuscript into a full-blown biography, and he sent a 10-page treatment to GG, who was in state prison in Jackson, Mississippi, for a parole violation at the time. "I applied for the job," he says when we meet on a dark afternoon in Jamaica Plain's Midway Cafe. "And, uh, I got it."

GG's grossest hits: Joe Coughlin recommends
While not a fan per se ("I appreciate it more as pure story"), Coughlin suggests the following as some of the more definitive material by and about Allin. Please note that GG recorded with a number of bands, and much of the stuff has been bootlegged into multiple versions of varying consistency. Buyer beware . . .
GG Allin | Freaks, Faggots, Drunks & Junkies [Awareness, 1988] | "The sound of a soul swirling down the toilet, and apparently having a hell of a time in the process. Extremely depressing, and hard to forget."
GG Allin & Antiseen | Murder Junkies [ TK O reissue, 2004] | "A confirmation that things would not end pretty. Mostly guns, knives, and prison, with appropriately harsh, militaristic music."
Hated — GG Allin and the Murder Junkies [Music Video Distributors, 1993] | "A chilling documentary by Todd Phillips (yep, the Starsky & Hutch guy), who plays it straight down the middle."
GG Allin & the Southern Baptists | "Look into My Eyes And Hate Me"/"Hotel Clermont" [Railroad, 1993] | "The A-side of this late-period single is a masterpiece of upchuck rage and contempt — that rare sonic elevation of absolute gutter scum into a being of true worth and power."

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Pete..thanks for that info...I wear contacts when I fish to see far... and need to slap on magnifing reading glasses to work on close things like tyeing flies and knots, etc....If I just wore glasses I still need to take them off to see close....so with a maui copper or browm lens it would really help me with that juggling act...Thanks.
Hi John
I bought a couple of pairs of bifocal Mauis from the opticians in Chatham when I was there last spring. I got the plastic frames and one pair with brown lenses and the other with black. They are very good for someone like me who needs reading glasses. I now do not need to put on my specs to tie on flies etc.
|One final point I discovered today after picking up new contacts... the green lens new Maui's have a bifocal magnifier built in to the lense . Which would be excellent for difficulty in tying knots and flies onto the line.... for those who need that. If that sells they will be putting that feature on other colored lenses. The cost for these plastic Maui's is $179.....
|Pretty consistent advive. Wife and I go to Marathon for Feb and Mar and I note there are 9 Costa del Mar dealers right there. One of them has to have a good fit in copper.
Easy Peasy (is that how you spell that?)
For years I fished with a pair of Arnette copper lens Swinger Minis I picked up in Hawaii. My good buddy was trying to convert me to Action Optics (Smiths) for a while, especially their glass lens models, but was conflicted on the subject. He said that if they helped me see fish better than those old Arnettes it might be an unfair advantage.
But, I eventually did "upgrade" and have mixed feelings. One, the glass IS heavier, even though Smiths' lenses are very thin and light. Two, the frames seem designed for imaginary heads - either much too big or too small. I have two lens colors in the same style frame and both fit slightly different. Strange. Three, you do have to try them on and while the best prices are online (that I found) it makes it tough to try them on. But, there's a way around that. Go to Zappos.com and order a few pairs that you think you might like, basing the size on the sizes they give. Then simply return the pairs you don't like. Shipping is free both ways! I ordered like 3 frames before I decided on the ones I finally bought.
I will say this for the Smiths: they are crystal clear and I love the photochromatic feature which adjusts to the light conditions. This allows you to fish earlier and later in the day without changing glasses. Also, Smith has a kick-ass service center and lots of their models (especially the glass lenses) come with a lifetime warranty. My only real beef is that they seemed much harder to clean and keep clean than my old "plastic" lensed Arnettes.
Speaking of, I had those since 2004 and they only have a tiny scratch on one of the lenses where I dropped them. If you care for your shades you should have no problem with plastic, and you can't beat the lightness of them. Also, believe it or not, I liked the fact that they DID NOT have that shitty anti-reflective coating on the inside lens. Man that crap is super-hard to clean properly. ANY moisture makes it want to smear like crazy. My advice, stay away from that crap... an example of something that seems like a good idea at the time. Besides, with wrap around frames now light seepage isn't really much of an issue for me, especailly not with my cap pulled down tight. In fact, now that I realize that I might spring for another pair of poly-lens Smiths that DON'T have that coating.
As for flats fishing lens colors, my favorite is really the copper lenses on my old Arnette Swingers.
Tight lines,
As a former surfer/bodyboarder dude I am totally fan of Black Fly sunglasses. Slogans like: me myself and fly and it's my way or the fly way make them even more perfect for our beloved sport.
I like them with tortoise lenses (europe) or just black lenses for the caribean. defintely good polarizing effect and you can not buy yourself a mistake, they go for around 30-40 USd on that famous auction site (including s&h). Worth trying.
|I strongly recommend going to a store too, but for a different reason. sunglasses are one item in which there are a lot of fake items out there and buying them online would concern me. check out costa del mar or maui jim's web sites and they should list the dealers closest to you. you can always try on frame stlyes for fit and then order that frame with a specific lens that you want. let us know what you decide.
I made the mistake last year of buying a pair of Costa del Mar sunglasses online.
The lenses are great but I found that the bottom edge rubbed on my cheek. This is not the case with Mauis which fit perfectly.
Without being able to use Metaphor, if something needs to fit properly then buy it from a store.
Some things are best purchased from brick and mortar. For me this is true of almost everything except cookie-cutter supplies.
For instance I buy strings bulk on line but never ever an instrument. I'll buy socks on line but never jeans. I've bought hooks on line but never feathers.
The retailer who has invested in stock to let you try them all deserves the business, IMHO. Otherwise they will vanish and we will lose the option.
Great input already. As an add-on to the same subject, How do you buy them? I don't think I have a strange head, but if I go to a dealer to try on glasses, each model fits differently ,none of them just right, and no one can have the model you want, in the color etc. you want, so you have to order one or more pair to put it all together. To me that says you can't order through Eyesave etc. and get a deal, which sends me toward doing business with an optical store that can fit what I like.
I can't get used to all that glass weight on the bridge of my nose, the Titaniums are light as a feather.
I scratched up the first pair but got smart after that and now make them last for several years without scratching. Just use a neck loop, cinch it up when leaning on the gunwhale to land a fish and you're good for years with plastic. Some companies will replace the lenses for short $ if you are not the careful type, or go with glass.
Polycarb lenses are safer for the eyes since much of the injury occurs from the glass itself vs. the object shattering it. "Plastic" will not add to the damage in fact it's the same material used for shop goggles. Skiers will not use glass lenses, shooters, etc.
just to make your choice more confusing, i too, just bought the costa 580 harpoon in the green mirror. The mirror is really the same as the amber lens 580, but it has a coating on it that supposedly reflects a bit more glare. I called costa and told them i wanted the "ultimate bonefishing glasses" and they said to go with the green mirror 580.
one of the things to consider is that plastic lenses are significantly lighter, but i've found the glass to be much more scratch resistant. i have two pair of costas and my 3 year old picked my 400's off my hat and tossed them on the concrete at the pool this summer, and no scratches.
|I can only say that I agree with juro on this and have several pairs of maui's...each in copper and grey..... a couple plastic and a couple glass...the plastic are the lightest weight sunglasses I have used or seen...Maui has corrected the potential cracking on the light weight frames that attach directly to the lense.... thay have also began manufacturing a green lens which I will also try. The green lens is not on all models until thay see how they sell.
I switched over to costas and wear the harpoon with the 580 green mirror glass lenses if I am out in the daytime and sight fishing.
I had read somewhere a good number of florida sight fishing guys were switching to the green mirror so I gave em a shot and for my eyes they are the best sight fishing glasses I have ever had.
There was a recent thread with extensive testimonials.
I've been a Maui Jim guy for several years now... in fact I still have the pair that converted me from other brands. Their service is excellent, I've had them in for repairs a couple times.
I do not wear prescriptions or have the reading style split lenses which I hear Action Optics is among the top brands.
BTW - I use both the copper color and the gray. One is better in lower light, the other for true color recognition which is a key factor in sighting on the flats for me that I've noticed many take for granted. The contrast in the copper is sharp and I need both.

BOONEVILLE – For the third time this season, county rivals Blue Mountain and Falkner met on the hardwood. For the third time, the Cougars pulled away at the end.
Thursday, the guard play of Jacob Girley and Ismael Ruedas outlasted the inside muscle of the Eagles, and Blue Mountain won 63-55 to advance to their second consecutive Division 1-1A Tournament final.
Blue Mountain (27-3) faces Biggersville for a third time, tonight at 8:30.
Controlling the pace, the Eagles led 29-26 at halfime. Falkner guard Richard Green scored 12 points in the first half and post player Tray Woody added nine on a pair of buckets in each quarter. Woody scored the first bucket of the second half, but Blue Mountain began to make a move as one play later, Woody went to the bench with his third foul.
Girley scored the next eight points for Blue Mountain. His 3-pointer with at the 1:44 mark reclaimed a 39-37 lead. Girley had 14 in the quarter and finished with a game-high 27.
"I told them, 'the third quarter, it's going to be ours,' " said Blue Mountain coach David Mason, "It's been ours all year. That's when it turned."
Ruedas gave Falkner fits with 12 fourth-quarter points. His bucket at the 2:40 mark drew Woody's fourth foul and made it 59-50 Blue Mountain, their biggest lead of the game. Ruedas finished with 26.
All three post players for Falkner (10-16) fouled out in the final quarter.
"I felt coming in, our advantage – if we had any – was our post men, and there in the fourth most of them fouled out and that killed the momentum," Falkner coach Jake Walker said.
"Those are my guys," added Mason about his junior guards. "We give them the basketball to make the decision. I've trusted them since the 7th grade."
Blue Mountain sprinted to a 7-1 lead on five quick points from Ruedas and a bucket from Travario McClinton before Falkner settled in and inched back to lead 10-9
Green added seven in the second quarter and gave Falkner a 28-21 lead on a 3-pointer with 1:57 to go until halftime.
Green finished with 17 points and Woody 13 for Falkner.

The Saints got rid of Bush and signed Sproles who they probably got as much or more production out of for half the money and a draft pick, don't see how anybody can fault them for that. In retrospect we should have done the same thing with Jake long.

If you're interested in recording and streaming media using Flash Media Server 3 (FMS3) and Adobe's Real-Time Messaging Protocol, this unique 267-page PDF-only book is the perfect primer. It is not a reference, but a systematic guide to developing FMS3 applications using ActionScript 3.0, with chapters that focus on specific aspects of the server and how they work.
FMS3 is very different from regular web servers. Because its open-socket server technology stays connected until users quit the application, you can stream audio, video, text, and other media in real time. FMS3 is also quite different from previous versions, a fact that web developers familiar with Flash Media Server 2 or Flash Communication Server 1.5 will quickly discover.
Don't worry. With Learning Flash Media Server 3 and a little experience with Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0, anyone can get up to speed in no time. You'll learn how to install FMS3, organize your development environment with Apache web server, and use the management console before diving into the whys and hows of:
Dr. William Sanders is a Professor of Interactive Information Technology at the University of Hartford.

Comments about oreilly Learning Flash Media Server 3:
Most books about "Flash Video" will mention and sometimes have a chapter or two with a direct reference to Flash Media Server. These books may even have projects that directly utilize Flash Media Server, or FMS just to throw another acronym into the jargon soup bowl. There are many on-line tutorials, blogs and other detailed information about specific FMS functions but pulling them together into a comprehensive understanding is a daunting task. William Sanders delivers a complete and solid foundation to build a thorough working knowledge of FMS upon. His method of introducing the core or "minimalist code sets" to make it work, then expanding to include class, component and suggestions of more sophisticated elements makes it easy to grasp for a newbie and exposes the intricacies of more advanced possibilities. I would recommend this "book" to anyone involved with delivering streaming and interactive content from a server - client platform.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great way to tackle FMS 3
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
Flash Media Server 3 by Willam Sanders is an excellent resource for getting started with this technology. I am working on a new Flex project and needed to get up to speed with FMS 3 right away. This book provided good examples for lots of different scenarios that allowed me to string together my own example and get working on the project fast. It walks through all the different aspects of FMS 3 from shared objects to streaming audio and video. Its breadth of topics really allowed me to get a better understanding of what was available with FMS 3 and how it could be utilized within the scope of various projects. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is struggling with the concept of FMS 3 or someone who just wants to know how to handle all of the server events.

"The Greatest Obstacle to Discovery is not Ignorance -- It is the Illusion of Knowledge" ~ Daniel Boorstin
The founding fathers had a distrust of the masses. After all, The US was a new experiment in self governance. Initially only males with property were entitled to vote. The electoral college was an attempt to insulate the choosing of a president from the masses who might follow any political fad of the day and might elect a president that would be a detriment to the republic, namely the property holders.
There were no political parties at inception of the Constitution. However, they emerged shortly after the ink was dry on the document.
The concept of the founding fathers was that prominent persons in the respective states would be chosen as electors of the president. Today the actual electors of the POTUS are slate of prominent persons chosen by the respective parties. Even though Barack Obama Mitt Romney, or other candidates appear on the ballot, you are actually voting for a slate of electors loyal to that candidate. The actual slate of electors usually does not appear on the ballot (which might open to legal challenge.) In most states, it is the practice that the winning candidate takes the entire slate of electors . However the practice is not dictated by the Constitution.
The electors are not legally bound to vote for the candidate they are pledged to, and sometimes they will change their mind between the election and convening the electoral college. It is not a way to ingratiate your party if you decide to bolt.

Murral : if I may let me give you a bit of friendly advice, MOST of the posters here are middle aged and beyond, the person whose state you made a childish reference to is in his 80's, hence when people refer to a Civics class it shows that they probably went to school in the 60's when it was called that before being called social studies, American Govt or similar..
No need to flaunt your manly heterosexual ego here, also no need to make homophobic slurs here either, the last person(s) that got ribbed about their sexuality here on POTUS resulted in retaliating with an ugly tirade which caused their banishment..
People on here have tried to answer you but somehow your hostility has prevented you seeing that and from my vantage point you are coming across as someone who maybe didnt get everything out of your social studies class while you were out stealing girlfriends or smashing helmets and doing takedowns on a wrestling mat..
Take a second to look at who you are dealing with here, more than likely we are your parents age, maybe some of us dont hear too well and our sight is compromised but we LISTEN and we SEE more than you think..I have read many of your posts, some come across as very juvenile and some are those of a concerned young man very worried about the future of the country..
Consider who you might be talking to here on POTUS, it might help you to stick around longer, if that is your desire

Compliant Hosting & Cloud Services
Compliance is a vital requirement for organizations in healthcare, financial markets, and the government sector. We take your compliance needs seriously. Our industry-leading compliant hosting solutions are specifically designed to deliver security, performance and peace of mind to our clients. Our goal is not just to meet the requirements dictated by HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX and FISMA, but to ensure a compliance record that reaffirms the security and integrity of your organization.
Achieving compliance independently is a major challenge for most companies. Regulations constantly change, making it difficult for organizations to know the latest requirements, and even more challenging to meet these standards. This puts organizations at risk of fines, sanctions and various other penalties. Furthermore, trying to remain compliant can occupy a huge percentage of an IT department's time and energy, preventing personnel from pursuing higher-level projects. By taking advantage of Datapipe's compliance management services, businesses can outsource this responsibility, reducing risk and maximizing in-house performance.
HIPAA Compliance Solutions
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provides federal protections for individually identifiable health information held by Covered Entities (CEs) and their Business Associates (BAs), and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information. The standards are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in the U.S. health care system.
Datapipe's security-rich HIPAA compliant hosting solutions add enterprise-wide usability and industry-leading integrity for companies requiring HIPAA compliance.
PCI DSS Compliance Solutions
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was introduced in 2004 as a minimum security baseline for merchants and service providers who store, process and transmit credit card data. The PCI DSS is a combination of individual security policies from Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB. For a data center to attain PCI compliance, the facility must pass an annual audit verifying security controls and procedures are in place, and they meet or exceed those outlined in the PCI DSS.
Because we believe in surpassing expectations when it comes to compliance, Datapipe's PCI ISA and CISSP certified professionals designed our compliance management solutions to meet or exceed all PCI merchant and service provider requirements, delivering industry-leading security and reliability.
SOX Compliance Solutions
Sarbanes–Oxley (SOX) is a United States federal law that set new or enhanced standards for all U.S. public company boards, management and public accounting firms. The act contains 11 titles, or sections, ranging from additional corporate board responsibilities to criminal penalties, and requires the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to implement rulings on requirements to comply with the law. Datapipe offers fully managed SOX-compliant hosting solutions to clients as they outsource their financial data retention needs.
FISMA Compliance Solutions
The Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), together with supporting standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), defines how federal agencies must ensure the security of information and information systems under their control.
With deep FISMA compliance experience, world-class hosting facilities, and best-of-breed technologies, Datapipe can deliver secure, FISMA compliant hosting or FedRAMP-ready cloud solutions that enable your organization to stay focused on your primary mission.
Compliance Management Expertise
The most important component of any compliance management offering is the people. The most sophisticated technology in the world cannot keep a company safe and compliant if these tools are not in the hands of experienced, dedicated personnel.
At Datapipe, we make compliance expertise a priority. Each of our compliance management solutions is designed by experts who know how to work directly with an organization to understand its needs, goals and challenges. These professionals guide every step of the process, from consultation to planning to deployment to ongoing maintenance.
This expertise, combined with our commitment to customer service and best practices, ensures that Datapipe compliance management solutions deliver major benefits for all of our clients:
- By taking advantage of our compliant hosting offering, customers greatly reduce their overall risk. As new regulations arise, our strategies and tools evolve to meet these requirements.
- By offloading IT processes necessary for achieving compliance, organizations can become more productive and more effective. You can focus on core products and services while we take care of compliance management.
- Our experts are experienced at managing audits. We go beyond our competitors by managing the entire IT audit or assessment process, easing the burden and saving time for your organization.
Technology That Powers Compliance
With our unsurpassed compliance and security expertise and service, Datapipe sets the industry standard for excellence in managed compliant hosting. At Datapipe, we combine top-quality expertise with a range of advanced technologies to deliver guaranteed best-in-class compliant hosting solutions. This technology includes:
- Robust, high performing infrastructure. Datapipe's enterprise-based network and infrastructure in our SSAE 16 SOC 1 data centers provides a solid foundation for every cloud and managed hosting solution.
- Tailored solutions. We offer managed cloud, dedicated hosting and hybrid cloud solutions, with customizable services to meet your compliance and performance needs.
- High availability, high reliability. To ensure business continuity, we have data centers around the U.S. and the world, from D.C. to San Jose and London to Hong Kong, with a fully redundant infrastructure with automated failover and offsite data replication.

I haven't thought about Britany since the downward spiral began by getting married to K-Fed. it's a shame since she started out a cute kid with a hit song and spiraled to a overdosing,no underwear wearing,no talent, brainless bimbo. SAD SAD SAD !!!!!!!!!!!!

He's on the upswing and Brit's fading fast? What is this world coming too?
We all had that friend with a hot mom, but none like Brit who is not only hot, but will buy you coke and beer and give you VD!!!!!
For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.
So Britney shaved her dome...hmm perhaps she is trying to get the part of Lex on Smallville once Rosenbaum is out.
Yep, that has to be it.

I think she has a hard-on for GI Jane and Ripley in Alien 3.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
I've heard that she freaked out, wandered into a hair salon, demanded that the stylist shave her head because her "extensions were too tight," and then when the stylist said no, she grabbed the clippers and shaved her own head.
Later, she wandered over to this parlor in the valley and had them do her up with a bunch of cheap tattoos. (After all, when they're cheap, you might as well get a few.)
(BTW, watch the language in this thread.)
Britney's been a disgusting pig for about the last four or five years. I'm a fan of all sorts of music and admit that I liked a few of her "better" songs. Still, I'm a Kylie Minogue guy and have been since 1987 and can't say that I was ever on the Britney bandwagon. Something around the time of "I'm a Slave 4 U" started to bother me. I didn't think it was so much a shift in her image to something racier or more adult. It seemed like something in her started to change. People didn't listen and called me a "hater" and so forth. After her run-ins with the media (remember her flipping them off in Mexico?) and then her "marriage" to her high school friend-- and then her subsequent marriage and kids with K-Dud, I started to feel as if I had that sixth sense about the shape of things to come.
Two years ago, a Britney fan told me that I was wrong about her and that she'd make an easy comeback and that she was set to be even bigger than Madonna. Really? Like her or hate her, you cannot dispute that Madonna is an originator and an icon like Elvis, The Beatles, Aretha Franklin and James Brown. Britney is one of the many girls who borrowed from Madonna. So, really, there's no way she could be bigger than Madonna. I digress; I knew that Little Miss Misery's woes were just beginning and we'd see some colossally bad choices in the future. I predicted the approximate time period of the divorce from K-Dud and that was kinda fun.
Poor, stupid Britney. Here's a girl who had a lot handed to her for having so little talent or personality. She doesn't have much character either. So, if she's not actually mentally imbalanced at the moment, she's clearly one of the dumbest people to ever fall out of a southern woman's womb and live to have a career of sorts. Can you wait to see what happens next? I can't!!!

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that may affect many different parts of the body. Small round spots, called granulomas, form in various organs. The spots slow down normal functioning of those organs.
The cause of sarcoidosis is not known. It seems to be related to malfunctioning of the immune system. The disease may be triggered by an infection or exposure to a toxin in the environment.
Some people may be more susceptible to sarcoidosis due to genetic or environmental factors.
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that may affect many different parts of the body. Small round spots, called granulomas, form in various organs. The spots slow down normal functioning of those organs.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. An eye exam may also be done. There is no specific lab test that confirms a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. Instead, the diagnosis is made based on symptoms and medical tests that are usually positive in patients with this condition.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Biopsy
Your bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
- X-rays
- Bronchoscopy
- CT scan
- Gallium scan
Your heart activity may be tested. This can be done with an
electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG)
Your lung function may be tested. This can be done with
pulmonary function tests (PFTs)
Although doctors do not know the exact cause of sarcoidosis, they believe infections or exposure to chemicals may bring on the disease. Steps for prevention may include:
- Don't smoke. If you smoke, quit.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals and toxins.
- To prevent infection, wash your hands before eating or preparing food and after using the bathroom.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of sarcoidosis include:
- Age: 20 to 40
- Sex: female
- Ethnic descent: African-American, Northern European, Scandinavian, and Irish
Symptoms vary and can occur in different parts of the body, depending on where the granulomas form. Most symptoms develop in the lungs, skin, eyes, and liver. Multiple body systems may be affected. Symptoms may come and go. This disease is often acute, but in some patients it is chronic.
Symptoms may include:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing
- Chest pain
- Rash
- Fever
- Pain or irritation of eyes
- Fatigue, especially with exertion
- Muscle weakness
- Night sweats
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Seizures
- Tremors
- Difficulty hearing
- Blurred vision or blindness
- Poor coordination
- Trouble walking
- Irregular heart rate
- Pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints
- Facial paralysis known as Bell's Palsy

Family: Diomedeidae, Albatrosses view all from this family
Description 37" (94 cm); wingspan 84-90" (213.5-228.5 cm). Adults have a white body, including the back, and a broad black band at the tip of the tail. The head and neck are washed with yellow-buff; the bill is pale pink. The basal half of the upperwing is white, except for a dark patch on the trailing edge; the outer half is dark with white primary shafts; the underwing is white with narrow dark margins. Juveniles are entirely dark brown at first, with a pink bill and pink feet. Subadults have a "black-throated" stage, with a white face, breast, and belly separated by a dark band across the throat. As the throat becomes white, a blackish area remains from the top of the head to the hindneck, continuing as a wedge down the side of the neck and creating a black-hooded look. This hood is retained while the back becomes contrastingly paler and mottled with white. The forehead, face, and sides of the neck acquire a yellow tinge while the dark hood is still present. White patches appear on the upperside of the wing fairly early, eventually joining to form a continuous white area; the uppertail coverts become white before the back does.
Endangered Status The Short-tailed Albatross is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California. Formerly abundant in the northwestern Pacific, the Short-tailed Albatross was brought close to extinction by the late 1940s, mainly because they were hunted for food as well as their feathers, which were coveted for pen plumes and feather beds. By 1954, a few birds had returned to nest on Torishima, an island south of Japan, and there are now estimated to be about 200 birds. The nesting island is an active volcano that erupted and killed the island's human population in 1902; if it were to erupt during the breeding season it could wipe out most of the Short-tailed Albatrosses in existence. Another threat to the breeding colonies is the feral cats and rats on the island. The Japanese government is attempting to remove these animals from the island, and has designated the entire island a protected area. Though strictly protected by the Japanese government, the Short-tailed remains one of the rarest and most endangered birds.
Habitat Open ocean.
Observation Tips 1 large, white egg in nest on ground. Nests in colonies.
Range North American sightings in recent years mainly from Alaska; 1 from British Columbia, 1 from Oregon, and 3 from California. Nests on Torishima, off Japan.
Voice Usually silent.
Similar Species See Laysan and Black-footed Albatrosses; also Wandering Albatross.
Discussion This very large, heavy-bodied, stout-billed albatross is intermediate in size between the Wandering and the Laysan. Although the wings are long, they are proportionately somewhat shorter than those of other albatrosses. The Short-tailed progresses from a brown juvenal plumage through a series of intermediate stages to a mainly white adult plumage. While the brown juveniles and fully adult birds are distinctive, subadults can be confusing.

No, really, secure boot does add security
Carla Schroder wrote a piece for linux.com on secure boot, which gives a reasonable overview of the technology and some of the concerns. It unfortunately then encourages everyone to ignore those legitimate concerns by making the trivially false claim that secure boot is just security theatre.
Security isn't some magic binary state where you're either secure or insecure and you can know which. Right now I'd consider my web server secure. If someone finds an exploitable bug in Apache then that would obviously no longer be the case. I could make it more secure by ensuring that Apache runs in a sufficiently isolated chroot that there's no easy mechanism for anyone to break out, which would be fine up until there's also a kernel exploit that allows someone to escalate their privileges enough to change their process root. So it's entirely possible that someone could right now be breaking into my system through bugs I don't even know exist. Am I secure? I don't know. Does that mean I should just disable all security functionality and have an open root shell bound to a well known port? No. Obviously.
Secure boot depends on the correctness of the implementation and the security of the signing key. If the implementation is flawed or if control of the signing key is lost then it stops providing security, and understanding that is important in order to decide how much trust you place in the technology. But much the same is true of any security technique. Kernel flaws make it possible for an unprivileged user to run with arbitrary privileges. Is user/admin separation security theatre? SSL certificate authorities have leaked keys. Is it security theatre for your bank to insist that you use SSL when logging in?
Secure boot doesn't instantly turn an insecure system into a secure one. It's one more technology that makes it more difficult for attackers to take control of your system. It will be broken and it will be fixed, just like almost any other security. If it's security theatre, so is your doorlock.
Why is this important? Because if you tell anyone that understands the technology that secure boot adds no security, they'll just assume that you're equally uninformed about everything else you're saying. It's a perfect excuse for them to just ignore discussion of market restrictions and user freedoms. We don't get anywhere by arguing against reality. Facts are important.

Serves 12 to 15
This recipe calls for many ingredients and some planning, but the finished turkey's rich, smoky flavor and juicy meat is more than worth it. First, the turkey is brined in a cider-spice brine to season it inside and out. Then, it gets rubbed with butter, honey, and a barbecue spice rub. Next, it's wrapped in bacon and smoked on the grill. As the bird finishes cooking, it gets spritzed with apple juice to beautifully burnish the skin and keep the meat moist and flavorful.
Combine all of the brine ingredients and 8 cups of water in an 8-quart pot; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until cold.
Put the turkey breast side down in a pot or tub large enough to hold it and the brine. Add the brine (the turkey will float, but that's OK) and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 20 hours.
With a chef's knife, cut the turkey neck into 3 or 4 pieces and chop the giblets. Heat the oil in a 4-quart pot over medium-high heat. Cook the neck and giblets with a pinch of salt, stirring often, until browned, about 8 minutes. add the carrots, celery, onion, bay leaf, peppercorns, 2 tsp. salt, and 6 cups of water.
Bring to a boil, lower the heat, skim off any foam, and simmer, covered, until flavorful, about 1 hour. Strain the broth through a fine sieve into a large bowl—you'll have about 4 cups.
In a small bowl, mix all of the rub ingredients, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar with your fingers.
Light a charcoal or gas grill fire and set it up for indirect cooking over low heat (275°F).
If using a charcoal grill, bank the lit and ashed-over coals to one side of the grill. Cover the grill and adjust the vents as needed to reach 275°F.
If using a gas grill, cover the grill, turn off one or more of the burners, and adjust the active burner(s) to reach 275°F.
Rinse and dry the turkey; discard the brine. Rub the inside of the body and neck cavities with 2 Tbs. of the vegetable oil, and then sprinkle each cavity with 1/2 Tbs. of the spice rub. Put the onion pieces inside the body cavity.
In a small bowl, combine the 4 oz. softened butter with 1 Tbs. of the spice rub. Carefully slide your hands under the skin of the turkey to loosen it from the breast. Using your fingers, spread the butter mixture directly on the breast meat, being careful not to tear the skin.
Tie the legs together with twine. Tuck the wing tips behind the neck, securing any loose skin over the neck cavity beneath them.
Rub the outside of the turkey with the remaining 3 Tbs. vegetable oil, then the honey, and then 3-1/2 Tbs. of the spice rub.
Put a flat wire rack inside an 11x14-inch (or similar) foil-lined roasting pan. Line the rack with enough bacon slices (touching but not overlapping) to cover the area the turkey will occupy. Put the turkey breast side up on the bacon and then lay enough bacon slices across the top of turkey to cover it, securing the slices with toothpicks. (It's OK if the sides of the turkey aren't entirely covered.)
For a charcoal grill, sprinkle 1/2 cup of the drained wood chips over the coals. Replace the grill grate.
For a gas grill, make 2 heavy-duty aluminum foil packets, each filled with 1 cup of the drained chips. Using a fork, poke holes all over the packets. Lifting the grill grate, set one of the packets directly over an active burner; reserve the second packet. Replace the grill grate.
Put the turkey in its pan on the unlit side of the grill and cover the grill. Smoke the turkey until the bacon is dark, rotating the pan occasionally for even cooking, 2 to 3 hours. If using a charcoal grill, add 1/2 cup of drained chips to the coals every 30 minutes until you've used all of the chips. When the temperature dips to 250°F, every 1 to 1-1/2 hours, light 3 quarts of charcoal in a chimney set over bricks. When the coals are ashed over, transfer the turkey in its pan to a heatproof surface, lift the grill grate, and add the fresh coals to maintain the temperature. If the temperature gets too high, leave the lid ajar to let in cool air. For a gas grill, add the reserved packet of chips when the first packet stops smoking.
When the bacon is dark, remove it from the top of the turkey; enjoy as a cook's treat or discard. Generously season the turkey with all but 1 tsp. (which will be used for the gravy) of the remaining spice rub. Put the butter slices on top of the breast and thighs and continue smoking, spraying the turkey with the apple juice and rotating the pan every 30 minutes, until the temperature in the center of the breast registers 165°F, about 2 hours more. If at any time the turkey becomes too dark, loosely tent it with foil.
Remove the pan from the grill. Tilt the turkey so the juice in the cavity runs into the roasting pan. Transfer the turkey to a serving platter or cutting board and loosely tent it with foil. Let the turkey rest for at least 30 minutes.
Heat the turkey broth until hot. Pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a fat separator or heatproof measuring cup. Allow the fat to rise to the top and then transfer 1/4 cup of the fat to a 12-inch skillet; discard the remaining fat and reserve the rest of the drippings.
Season the turkey broth with enough of the drippings to add flavor without making it too salty.
Heat the fat in the skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tsp. spice rub and cook, whisking, 1 minute more. Gradually whisk the broth into the skillet until smooth, and then bring to a simmer. Whisk in the cider vinegar and simmer until the gravy barely coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Carve the turkey and serve with the gravy.
The spice rub can be made up to 1 month ahead; keep in an airtight container.
The broth can be made up to 2 days ahead; refrigerate when cool.
The turkey can be brined 2 days ahead, then removed from the brine, patted dry, and refrigerated for up to 1 day, covered with plastic wrap.

UMass-Lowell advances with 6-1 win over Wisconsin
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Connor Hellebuyck stopped a first-period penalty shot and finished with 31 saves to help UMass-Lowell rout Wisconsin 6-1 on Friday night in the NCAA Northeast Regional semifinals.
Joseph Pendaza, Christian Folin, Shayne Thompson, Derek Arnold, Adam Chapie and Ryan McGrath scored for the top-seeded River Hawks (27-10-2). They will play Denver or New Hampshire on Saturday for spot in the Frozen Four in Pittsburgh.
Nic Kerdiles scored for fourth-seeded Wisconsin (22-13-7) in the third period, ending Hellebuyck's shutout streak at 165 minutes, 20 seconds.
Joel Rumpel made 20 saves for the Badgers. They took a six-game winning streak into their first NCAA tournament since losing to Boston College in the 2010 championship game.
Rumpel had almost no offensive support as the Badgers failed to capitalize on the few mistakes made by Hellebuyck, mostly rebounds that were swept away before any Wisconsin player could get to the puck.
Kerdiles pulled Wisconsin to 3-1 with 11:41 left in the third on a power-play goal. It was the first goal allowed by Hellebuyck since 11:01 remained in the first period of the River Hawks' 2-1 win over Providence in the Hockey East semifinals a week ago.
Arnold scored for UMass-Lowell with 6:04 left, Chapie added an empty-netter in the final minute and McGrath finished it off with 3 seconds to play.
Thompson put UMass-Lowell up 3-0 when he scored just before crashing into Rumpel with 5:52 left in the second. Thompson, the net, goalie and Wisconsin defenseman Jefferson Dahl, who was trying to catch up to Thompson, all went sliding into the boards in a pile.
The goal withstood a video review that showed Thompson getting off the shot before making any contact with Rumpel or the net.
UMass-Lowell is playing in its second straight NCAA tournament and fifth overall.

On 22-25 May 2014, EU citizens from across the 28 Member States elected a new European Parliament, comprising 751 members (MEPs) to represent their interests from 2014 to 2019. As the European Parliament is the only directly elected European Institution, these elections are a unique opportunity for the European diabetes community to encourage EU policy-makers to commit to the diabetes cause.
In order to help you better understand the European elections and to support you in your advocacy work, IDF Europe had developed a European Elections Toolkit. The first section of the toolkit looks at the European Parliament, how it is works, the political groups that compose it and how it influences legislation.
The second section of the toolkit looks more closely at the upcoming European elections and at the challenges and opportunities they represent for the diabetes community. It also provides information about candidates (lists and websites) as well as tips on how to reach out to them.
Click here to download the toolkit.
We hope that you will find this toolkit useful and we welcome your feedback.
Thank you very much for your support in helping us to win the diabetes vote in Europe!


text: I have a 12 week old BLF that we brought home 4 weeks ago. I have been following the Hillmann Puppy program and am retired, being home with her every day. I have 2 primary areas where I keep her; an outside kennel and a 4 x 4 area fenced area in the Family Room. Her crate resides next to the fenced area in the Family Room. The first week she was fine being confined in the FR fenced area. However for the past 3 weeks she barks incessantly when ever I put he in the FR fenced area. I have tried to put her in her crate but she continues to bark. When put in the outside kennel she is generally quiet unless one of her toys is knocked outside of the kennel. Once the toy is returned to the kennel she is quiet. I allow her to play in the FR but keep her on a leash and closely supervise her. At times I need to put her in the fenced area and then the barking begins. I have told her "Quiet" and "NO" and have cuffed her under the chin to no avail. We have 1 or 2 training sessions per day and a couple of play sessions per day as well. When she is tired she will lay down for about a half-hour and be quiet until I put her in her crate for the night. I then turn off the lights and she sleeps through the night without any noise. I would like to have her in the house more frequently during the day but after 30 minutes or so of barking I take her to the outside kennel. Does anyone have some advice as to how I might be able to get her to stop barking in the house?

My life has been pretty crazy with school recently, 5 classes and all. Thinking never stops, so here are things that passed through my head (sanitized) over the past little while:
- I have an N810. Is cool. Will blog later more about it.
- Congrats to Fedora for all the cool community work they have been doing. Many transitions have been happening, with Max Spevack resigning as Project Leader and Paul Frields taking over. Red Hat has also added Tom Callaghan to the Fedora team and it looks like that a formal "Fedora community" team is in the offing. Fedora have always pushed us technically and I am glad to the see the community prosper as well. A stronger Fedora (or OpenSuse, Mandriva, etc.) makes a stronger Linux.
- Common Desktop Infrastructure - what the hell is this thing? How does it fit into the Portland Project? Is this another useless Linux Foundation buzzword project?
- The next edition of "the book" is coming along. I have been massively busy recently, so if you emailed me, I have your email and will respond this weekend, I promise.
- It appears that Victoria might actually be getting some decent transit. Well, if you call Bus Rapid Transit decent...
- Nick Ali (boredandblogging) has been doing an absolutely amazing job with the Fridge recently.
- The Ubuntu Weekly News is still going strong. John Crawford and the aforementioned Nick, as well as many many others, have been doing a stellar job here.
- A question: Aside from Dell, why are most of the new preinstalled Linuxes "home built"? I can think of gOS, the Asus EEE and of course the N810, none shipping with any of major Linux distributions or DEs, really. Yes, I know that gOS is based on Ubuntu, the EEE is Xandros and ships KDE and the N810 is Debian-based. They all use custom UIs and only bits and pieces of the underlying OS. The closest is probably the EEE, with KDE in the Advanced mode.
- KDE got 4 out the door. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it looks very cool.
One final note: If there are any dropped n's or missing spaces in the previous post, I cleaned my keyboard recently and have been having issues since...


text: Just wanted to say that if you use treats to train your puppy and you put them in your pocket be sure you empty your pockets!!! I gave my pup a nice shiny nickel this evening. I guess she figured i dont let her shop so she spit it out. Although this could have been a bad deal it all worked out fine. Always check your pockets. Funny now but wasn't then.

Here's your chance to have your cake and eat it too. Since one of your favorite MSP sources...the AP...had to admit what happened, one would think at least one of the Bush bashers that claim to be "news" media, would have reported it.
And you continue to deny the MSP isn't in the tank for the socialist movement of the Obamaites. Shortly after Atlas shrugs, the real revolution will begin, and it won't be a measley TEA party. Might even get rolling next year.
Subject: Bush finally vindicated on WMD in IraqA national defense analyst says President Bush should be commended for keeping quiet about a discovery that could have blown his critics out of the water.Retired Major General Jerry Curry is a decorated combat veteran who served as an Army aviator, paratrooper, and Ranger during a military career that began during the Korean conflict. He recently wrote about a very under reported story by the Associated Press.According to the report, a large stockpile of concentrated natural Uranium, known as "yellowcake," reached a Canadian port to complete a top secret U.S. Operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad , and a ship voyage crossing two oceans. The Uranium material had been housed at a former Iraqi nuclear complex 12 miles from Baghdad.Curry says the president kept mum about the discovery in order to keep terrorists in the dark. "He made a very brave stand, a resolute stand..., in which he decided that he wasn't going to blab everything to the press," Curry commends. "...And in the meantime while he kept it quiet, he was buying time from the terrorists to get all that stuff out of the country. So that's what was done -- he just very quietly kept his mouth shut.""The press beat him to death for the last several years," he continues, "and now it turns out that, yes, there were weapons of mass destruction...." Curry also maintains that Saddam Hussein had an active nuclear program and the material could have been made into a nuclear weapon.President Bush's actions took courage, he notes, and all Americans should be thankful to have such a brave president who puts the welfare of the American people above personal considerations.
.................................................. ..........................
OnJuly 5, 2008, the Associated Press (AP) released a story titled: SecretU.S.mission hauls uranium fromIraq. The opening paragraph is as follows:The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program (a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium) reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.See anything wrong with this picture?We have been hearing from the far left for more than five years how Bush lied. Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam's yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy.It appears that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uranium in 2003 after invading Iraq. They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand berms surrounding the site.This is vindication for the Bush administration, having been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits on the blogo-sphere. Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam's nuclear ambitions, one would think that the mainstream media would report the true story. Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked it up and broadcast it worldwide.That never happened, due in large part, I believe, to the fact that the mainstream media would have to admit they were wrong about Bush's war motives all along. Thankfully, the AP got it right when it said, "The removal of 550 metric tons of yellowcake, the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment, was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy."Closing the book on Saddam's nuclear legacy? Did Saddam have a nuclear legacy after all? I thought Bush lied? As it turns out, the people who lied were Joe Wilson and his wife.Valerie Plame engaged in a clear case of nepotism and convinced the CIA to send her husband on a fact finding mission in February 2002, seeking to determine if Saddam Hussein attempted to buy yellowcake from Niger. The CIA and British intelligence believed Saddam contacted Niger for that purpose but needed proof.

Program activities are based on the findings from a comprehensive assessment of the BIH Program. The assessment was conducted by the University of California, San Francisco Center on Social Disparities and Health. According to their findings, recent research suggests that poor birth outcomes for African American women are due to health and social conditions across the life course, not just during pregnancy. As a result, a key recommendation from the assessment was to provide one standardized program, based on current science, across all BIH sites to support more effective program evaluation.
MCAH staff in collaboration with UCSF and outside stakeholders developed a group intervention which includes 10 prenatal sessions and 10 postpartum sessions The group sessions offer fun and interesting activities from a women's health perspective that are intended to explore pregnancy-related (prenatal group sessions) and newborn parent-related (postpartum group sessions) topics as well as personal empowerment skills. In addition to the group intervention, complementary case management services are provided to all BIH clients.
Case management services include:
Pregnant and parenting African American women benefit from the program by becoming empowered to make positive choices in their life, not only for themselves, but for their families and communities. Ultimately, this will impact future generations of African American women, infants and their families.
Services are provided by BIH staff located in 15 local health jurisdictions where over 75% percent of African-American infant births and infant deaths occur. To locate assistance in your area, please see our BIH Coordinator Directory.
Federal Title V MCH Block Grant Funds, Federal Title XIX (Medicaid) Funds. The Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Program administers the BIH Program.

By Charlie Mitchell
OXFORD – It was 30 years ago. She was a student any professor would consider ideal. Front row. Eyes up. Tidy. Attentive. Smiled easily, often. But after Thanksgiving break, she didn't come back.
Went down the hall to check. The receptionist didn't look up, motioned me toward the dean's office. He told me the student had been raped and would not be returning, at least not for a while.
Christmas came and went. Before the new semester started, a summons to the office. The dean said she would be returning. He told me that I should be prepared.
I wasn't.
Her skin was sallow. Shoulders sagged. Hair stringy. Her clothes might have fit when she bought them, but not any more. Weight loss. She sat in the back. No eye contact with anyone. No smile.
After spring break, she didn't return.
Slit wrists, the dean said. They buried her body in her home town, her grave not far from where her energetic, open, caring spirit had been stolen less than a year earlier.
• • •
The most serious crimes under Mississippi law are murder, arson, kidnapping and rape. Of those, only one involves human contact that in another context is welcome, even essential.
Maybe that's why people have a hard time figuring out what rape is.
And what it isn't.
It is a "crime against the person," the highest echelon, and distinct from lesser crimes against property, such as burglary or larceny. It is violent attack on another person, not different in any way from an assault with a knife or gun.
It is not "getting carried away." It is not "thinking that's what she wanted." Though 75 percent of the approximately 1,000 Mississippi women who will report rapes this year will know their attacker, rape has nothing to do with romance or affection.
It is the 180-degree opposite of romance or affection.
It is brutality.
Now truth be told there are cases where there's an after-the-fact rethinking of a situation. There are also cases where men are blackmailed, threatened with an accusation of rape. Nowhere is it written that women can't be as conniving as men, and may the wisdom of Solomon be with the police, prosecutors and jurors who must sort out facts in dispute.
But the fact that rape is sometimes mislabeled and the term misapplied doesn't diminish by even the smallest fraction how horrible this crime really is.
• • •
For a long time, men could just say to themselves, "Hey, I'm not a rapist," and not think of it any more.
Women, however, were constantly admonished, taught to be constantly aware. Don't go here. Don't go there. Wear this. Don't wear that. Never walk down a street alone. Always make sure someone knows where you are and who you're with. Keep pepper spray in your purse. We teach our daughters how to use their car keys as a weapon. We give them whistles to wear around their necks.
In recent years women's groups have also said to men, "Hey, maybe if you'd teach your sons what rape is – and what it isn't – that might be helpful, too."
And, at least to some degree, it is happening.
On the campus of Mississippi State University last month, about 500 male students and faculty donned high heels to walk a mile in the shoes of women. This week in Jackson, a similar awareness event is being held for the fifth consecutive year under the auspices of the Mississippi Coalition Against Sexual Assault. The International Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence, which created and trademarked "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes," says the idea is to invite conversation on the topic.
That's a good thing. All of the stigma associated with rape should be assigned to the rapist, not a smidgen to the victim. Decent people don't abuse others in any way, including sexually.
• • •
By all rights, that student from 30 years ago should have her own children, perhaps grandchildren. Instead she has a cold stone marker in a little cemetery in the Mississippi countryside. In her day our culture had not made it clear enough to women and to men how to apportion blame in these situations.
Perhaps we don't know yet – but if men haven't thought about it and if parents haven't talked to their sons about it, well, there's not going to be a better time.

What kind of response have you gotten from the Marine Corps? Because this is definitely a warts-and-all portrayal of the Corps and its members.First of all, we viewed for the Bravo 2 and Bravo 3 guys from First Recon [the two platoons focused on in the film]. They loved it; they thought it was their story. At Camp Pendleton [the Marine Corps base in Southern California], a lot of the enlisted officers were at first reluctant to get involved. Then, when they saw it, they gave us the thumbs-up. That was a big test. We did this with that audience in mind, just the way we did The Wire with cops and drug people in our mind as the audience.
Watching the film, I was repeatedly reminded that for a lot of people — including me — this is an utterly alien world. Is that something you were cognizant of, and if so, how did it affect the creative process?
Well, this is an opportunity to go into a world that you don't have access to. In that sense it's very much like The Wire. If you invest in this, you'll see the elite of the young men who've been committed to war. And the opportunity to present this was a challenge that David [Simon] and I really enjoyed. We were writing to get those Marines to look at each other knowingly and say, "They got it."
That's all we can do. Then it's up to the audience, as they come to it, to make their own assessments of what they've seen. In The Wire, you can decide these people are getting a bum rap and something should be done — or you can decide that these people are lazy and they deserve what they get. Evan Wright's book [Generation Kill, on which the HBO series is based] can be read, I think, as a sort of anti-war book. But the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation gave it an award. It's what you bring to it. Our job — if you're going to invest in the series — is that we want it to be as close to reality as possible, so your investment isn't cheated.
Did your thoughts on the Iraq War change at all the course of putting this series together?Well, I was 100 percent against the war from the very beginning, without any doubt. I was in Vietnam. That was a bogus war. And I know that if you're badly injured — and I wasn't, I was fine — you never forget that foot coming down on the landmine. You never forget when the IED exploded your Humvee. And you will hope that your loss was for the right cause. But as time wears on, you'll begin to realize that you were duped, and that makes that injury that much harder to bear.
