Maintenance of proper oral hygiene for good oral health is an accepted part of the normal recommendations for a healthy lifestyle. Poor oral hygiene is associated with gingivitis, which can progress to more severe infection and inflammation leading to periodontitis. Infectious disease is known to be more common in people with diabetes if blood glucose control is poor, and inflammation is known to be associated with a decrease in insulin sensitivity and thus potentially a worsening of blood glucose control.
The International Diabetes Federation and the World Dental Federation came together under the lead of the IDF Task Force on Clinical Guidelines to address whether the evidence base in this area allowed formal recommendations on oral health and diabetes care to be made. The focus has been placed on activity within diabetes care. The result of the collaboration between the two organizations is the IDF Guideline on Oral Health for People with Diabetes.

Somalia: OCHA founded radio station turns words into action
Hearing her voice on the radio, Farhia Hersi was overjoyed. She remembered speaking to a reporter about water shortages in Ceel Waq in southern Somalia's Gedo region, but never imagined anything would come of it.
Here she was on the radio, appealing to listeners on behalf of her community about their urgent need for water. A week later, water trucks arrived thanks to an attentive and responsive local NGO.
There are many radio stations in Somalia vying for listeners, but Radio Ergo is the country's only dedicated humanitarian radio service. Over the past three years, Radio Ergo has created a niche for itself by making a positive difference in the lives of people across Somalia.
Voicing key issues
Somalia, as is the case in many African countries, is predominantly an oral society, meaning radio is a powerful tool for communication.
In Somali, ergo means 'envoy of people in need' or 'mediator of conflict'. Radio Ergo offers an important platform to amplify the voices of local communities, and advocate for their needs. It can also channel these voices, views and frustrations, into the operations rooms of UN agencies and their humanitarian partners.
For an hour each day, the station broadcasts content that highlights issues affecting local communities via at least 19 local partner radio stations across the country.
Words into action
Mohamud Mohamed Abdi, a disabled 62-year old tailor lives with his wife and seven children in Baidoa, a region in the south. Mohamud described his family's poor living conditions to a Radio Ergo reporter.
He had forgotten about the conversation until a group of young people arrived at his doorstep. Inspired by the interview, they took it upon themselves to collect money and build Mohamud and his family a new home.
He was overwhelmed that his discussion with the Radio Ergo reported had prompted the community to help him. "We are very grateful; they have transformed our lives from being homeless to homeowners," he said.
Protecting people
Radio Ergo's programming is varied. Every day, listeners can tune in to dramas, talk shows, and interviews with experts on a range of humanitarian issues, including health, education, and displacement.
Another important role the radio station plays is to issue weather warnings – this is critical in a country where natural disasters pose a constant threat. Warnings ahead of annual floods along the Somalia's two largest rivers give people the time to move safely to higher ground.
Similarly, following a recent measles outbreak, Radio Ergo issued a public information bulletin, giving people potentially life-saving information about preventative measures and treatment for infected children.
The beginning
Radio Ergo started its life under the auspices of IRIN. It was taken over by the media development agency International Media Support in July 2011. It now operates on modest funding from the Swiss Development Cooperation, the Danish Refugee Council, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, Australian Aid and the OCHA-managed Common Humanitarian Fund for Somalia.
To strengthen its interaction with affected communities, Ergo has partnered with FreedomFone, to better capture feedback via SMS and voice messaging. The service has been receiving on average 40-50 messages daily since its inception in May 2013. However, it lacks a full-time analyst to develop systems to feed this feedback into the humanitarian community.
Ergo manager Louise Tunbridge has been a tireless advocate for the views of affected communities, and hopes that more people will support this initiative. "Efforts to ensure affected communities can communicate with responders are particularly important to us, and we call upon the aid community to take advantage of our service and support it."

Williams to speak on black American society, March 1
Posted February 21, 2007; 11:48 p.m.
Journalist and author Juan Williams will deliver a lecture on black American society titled "Eyes Off the Prize? Why Bill Cosby Is Right and What We Should Do About It" at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 1, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Williams is a senior correspondent for National Public Radio and political analyst for Fox News. His most recent book is "Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America -- and What We Can Do About It."
In his lecture, Williams will argue that while there is still racism, African Americans must recognize and address the "culture of failure" in the black community. He also will discuss issues raised by Cosby, who has contended that social and economic ills among African Americans stem from their failure to take responsibility for their families and communities.
Williams has written several books, including "Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary," "Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965" and "This Far by Faith: Stories From the African American Religious Experience." Before joining NPR, Williams was an editorial writer, columnist and White House reporter for The Washington Post.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

The big question – To collaborate or not to?
As the market for new drugs evolves, the methodologies for moving them into the market is changing and becoming more complex. Companies are increasingly relying on efficient collaboration strategies between the various parties involved in the entire value chain.
With the dawning of personalized medicine and the passing era of blockbuster molecules, pharmaceutical companies are slowly transforming from an industry of products to one of information. In addition, the shift to more integrated global operations, and a distributed organizational structure, make the reliance on effective collaboration tools of paramount importance. BioSpectrum takes a look at the top 10 collaborations that happened in the bioscience industry in India during 2012.
Jubilant-Mnemosyne Partnership
On February 21, 2012, Jubliant entered into drug discovery collaboration with Mnemosyne Pharmaceutical to identify preclinical candidates in the area of neuropsychiatric diseases. Dr Subir Basak, president, Jubilant Biosys, said, "The collaboration covers multiple programs, which are being enabled by Mnemosyne's expertise in drug discovery and NMDA receptor pharmacology and supported by Jubilant's translational center in Malvern, Pennsylvania and by scientists from Jubilant's India based facilities. The collaboration is integrating the capabilities of the companies across medicinal chemistry, NMDA receptor pharmacology, electrophysiology, computational chemistry and DMPK and in vivo pharmacology as appropriate in progressing promising compounds through preclinical development. Under the terms of the alliance agreement, Mnemosyne will exclusively own all IP generated and shall be responsible for clinical development and commercialization."
Dr. Reddy's -Merck Serono Partnership
Dr. Reddy's and Merck Serono partnered to co-develop a portfolio of biosimilar compounds in oncology, primarily focusing on monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) on June 6, 2012. Mr Karnvir Mundrey, director, Atharva Lifesciences Consulting said, "Biosimilars are next big thing for India after generics. Merck Serono's strength in developing, manufacturing and commercialization gives it an edge over its counter parts and Dr. Reddy's banks on its global expertise in marketing generics and biosimilars. Thus, it would be an obvious option for Merck Serono for a deal with Dr. Reddy's. Not to forget the cost savings for Merck Serono as phase-1 development is carried out by Dr. Reddy's. Also, to a fruitful extent, the agreement will be a mutual benefit for both the parties as R&D will be carried out on cost sharing basis, and commercialization will be done by both parties in US and Dr. Reddy's will receive royalties. Outside U.S with the exception of some markets where it will be co-exclusive and where Dr. Reddy's maintains exclusive rights. The deal will help Dr. Reddy's presence in the bio similars space in select emerging markets and enables participation globally."
Ranbaxy-Daiichi's Hybrid Business Model
Ranbaxy inked a deal on June 20, 2012 to launch hybrid business in Venezuela. This is a unique business model that Ranbaxy and Daiichi Sankyo started since the latter acquired Ranbaxy in 2008. This unique business model brings together the complementary strengths of a global generic company (Ranbaxy) and a top global innovator (Daiichi Sankyo). The coming together of the two entities marks a paradigm shift in how global pharmaceutical companies collaborate to serve the needs of patients effectively.

Damn Good Story, good start to finish.... i also got the Republic #53..i didnt like it as much as the other stories so far
Damn Good Story, good start to finish.... i also got the Republic #53..i didnt like it as much as the other stories so far
I thought this was a great comic. It was nice to see the return of Quinlen Vos after a few issue hiatus. I also really enjoyed the artwork on Shaak Ti.
Hasbro, Wuher needs help, bring us Ackmena http://www.petitiononline.com/Ackmena/petition.html
Kenobi must be the Smith or Johnson of Tatooine
That's Jan Duursema, Star Wars' best artist!
I liked the Shaak-Ti story as well. John Ostrander (Star Wars' best writer) made her very believeable, as I too didn't see her as a huge warrior. She's the very capable, but subtley reluctant General.
Her handling of the killer that took the life of her padawan had a lot of depth to it, and showed Shaak to be a true devotee of the Jedi's way of peace. Shaak had a lot of things on almost too many levels for her to deal with on the Brentaal mission.
Brentaal was a good tie-in, too. Throughout Star Wars history, this has been a wealthy world, very important to the intergalactic banking clan. Rogue Squadron fought terribly hard to rip Brentaal away from the Empire - and they lost! That was the mission Sate Pestage was killed on, as well as when the Rogues lost Ibatisam, their lady Mon Calamari pilot.
Yeah, I love Quinlan, though he only played a small roll in this - it was a good one. I wondered how he was going to escape if the Jedi mission did not reach Brentaal. I assume his Force command would free him, and that would have been cool to see - Quinlan in the middle of a prison riot.
Speaking of which, Brentaal is a beautiful world, not at all like we saw it in this comic. The Clone Wars really devastated it. No wonder they were loyal to the Empire later. The whole world must've rebuilt under Palpatine's few deliverances he made good on towards his campaign supporters.
Finally, that Clone Trooper that went on the mission was seriously cool, eh?
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Self-Sacrifice...now that is realism in a comic...i LOVED it
It wasn't bad, but I won't write home about it. A bit on the boring side for me. But maybe that's because I've always wondered if Shaak Ti is better at lightsaber combat or making balloon animals.
That's my jacket!
imagine brentaal was loyal to the empire because palpy picked the government. pick a member of the local population that can be manipulated/controlled and viola puppet government. realizing the importance brentaal has lying along the trade routes throw some assistance their way. finally give them a song and dance routine that provides them with a enemy (ie the rebellion) and they'll be loyal enough.
personally thought shaak-ti was okay. was good to see 'korto' vos again, hopefully he'll be given a figure of his own someday. although preferred mace.

The Audition
this wiki
- "Listen, I met a big player! We'll get big money for doing practically nothing!"
- ― Lance Vance
The Audition is the first mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by his brother Lance Vance from his hotel room in Downtown, Vice City.
Lance has found a new "player" who will inform him about any drug shipments sealing to the city. Victor drops-by while Lance is still talking on the phone. After a brief argument, the two drive to the King Knut's Burger bar where Lance calls his friend, Forbes, just as a couple of robbers arrive in the store shooting at everyone inside. The police arrive outside the restaurant while Victor kills all the robbers or leaving them behind so that they're not involve in robbery. Just as Vance brothers leaves the restaurant, the cops mistake them for being involve in robberies and they get away and get to the Port Authority Building, jumping on a ramp to the impound yard where Forbes' car is hidden. After saving the Sentinel XS belonging to Forbes, Lance drives away and thanks Victor, who is angry.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to King's Knut in Downtown
- You need to get Forbes's car. Leave
- Take Lance to the Port Authority Building
- Ride up the staircase to get onto the roof
- Ride over the ramp to jump the gap
- Enter the impound
- Get Forbes' car back
- Escape from the vehicle impound by using the ramp
Post mission pager message
Lance: I've dropped off the car Bro'. See you at Forbes place...
The reward for completing the mission is $750 and the mission Money for Nothing is unlocked, along with the first Civil Asset Forfeiture Impound side mission. In addition, an additional $250 is awarded for completing the Unique Stunt Jump into the impound lot if the jump hasn't already been done. (This applies to the ramp jump prompted by the game; a second unique stunt jump can be performed using the ramp off the roof to the right of where Victor and Lance land on the roof, however as that involves jumping over a building and away from the impound lot, this jump should be saved until later, due to the level having a time limit.
- This makes the only time you can enter a King Knuts Burger Bar. It can only be entered outside the mission either by mods, trainers or glitches.
- If the player drives the Cheetah into the trigger point in front of King Knuts, the car will disappear after the battle with the robbers, forcing Vance to make the risky move of trying to steal a police car. If, however, you park to the south of the doorway to King Knuts, and then return to the trigger point on foot, the vehicle will still be parked there afterwards, and the player can take it and take advantage of a Pay n Spray to make the rest of the mission go easier.
- The firefight inside the impound lot invariably triggers a two-star wanted level, but it's meaningless as the mission ends once the car leaves the lot.
- No matter if you killed all the robbers or just left the restaurant, the police mistakenly identifies you as the robbers and gained 2-star wanted level.

JUVENILE Similar to winter adult, but feathers on back and wing coverts have pale margins and darker subterminal marks creating a scaly appearance.
Dimensions Length: 15" (38 cm)
Habitat Nests on wet tundra and breeding range is extremely restricted, with two populations around Hudson Bay, and others west to Alaska. Long-distance migrant that winters in southern South America. On migration (May-Jun and Aug-Sep), stops off at estuaries and mudflats and other coastal wetland habitats.
Observation Tips Visit Churchill, Manitoba, in spring to see this species on its breeding grounds. Or search suitable coastal habitats during migration times.
Range Plains, Eastern Canada, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Western Canada, Southeast, Texas, Florida, Alaska
Voice Mostly silent.
Discussion Large and distinctive shorebird whose summer plumage is colorful and fabulously intricate. On breeding grounds, watchful territorial birds sometimes perch on stunted trees. The long bill is slightly upturned toward the tip and is distinctly bicolored, pink along much of its length, but with a dark tip. Bill is used to probe soft ground for invertebrates. Legs are dark in all birds. In flight, all birds show a striking tail pattern (white at base, black at tip), white wing stripes and, from below, bold and contrasting black underwing coverts. Sexes are usually separable in breeding season and female is larger than male.

Shares of Internet bandwidth provider Akamai (AKAM) are up $2.23, over 4%, at $56.76, after the company this afternoon reported revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' expectations.
Revenue in the three months ended rose 23%, year over year, to $454 million, yielding EPS of 58 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $442 million and 54 cents.
CEO Tom Leighton remarked that the results "demonstrated continued momentum across all our solutions offerings and geographies, driven by traffic acceleration in Media Delivery Solutions, and strong traction across our Security portfolio."
Update: My colleague Alex Eule spoke with CEO Tom Leighton after the report and offers the following bits from the conversation:
CEO Tom Leighton told Barron's Thursday afternoon that the "overachievement was we had really strong media traffic across the gaming vertical and software vertical and even the event traffic."
Much of the world's Internet traffic flows through Akamai's content delivery network, essentially a distributed computing system made up of 137,000 servers in 87 countries. Traditionally, those Akamai computers cached content closer to end users, speeding up delivery.
But the company is increasing selling its cloud as a perimeter defense against "denial of service" attacks. Last December Akamai paid $370 million for Prolexic Technologies, which specializes in stopping such attacks.
"The entire approach to defending yourself online is changing in a very short period of time," Leighton said this afternoon. "The traditional approach of buying intrusion prevention systems in your data center and trying to get a carrier to filter the traffic when you're attacked, that doesn't stop the big attacks. You need to have a distributed capability like Akamai to be able to handle the enormous volume of these attacks."
"The next thing we'd like to layer on is our hybrid cloud optimization capabilities," Leighton says. "And we're just getting started there. Earlier this week Cicso [Systems (CSCO)]
announced products where Akamai software is on board their branch office router. No revenue yet but we're pretty excited about the potential for that."
Update 2: On the conference call with analysts following the report, Akamai projected revenue this quarter in a range of $464 million to $478 million, including revenue from Prolexic, above the average estimate on the Street of $457 million.
Akamai stock has held onto gains in late trading, up 80 cents, or 1.5%, at $55.33.

I'm looking for a new E- collar does anyone have The Garmin Delta?? If so what do you think?
I'm looking for a new E- collar does anyone have The Garmin Delta?? If so what do you think?
I just bought one last month so I didn't have to use my good training collar hunting, and it feels pretty junky. Infact I haven't even used it yet, cause Ive still been using my old tritronics that I was TRYING to replace It seems like its our only choice now though
I bought one. Have had it for a few weeks now. It works good so far but this is on a Lab, might try a different collar if your dog has a longer coat.
The Delta sport is a nice unit , but does not go hot enough, and you cannot change the prongs

I have the delta and like it. Easy to use and battery life is great. Have a soft dog so do have to turn it up high to get what I need out of him.
Lone Oak's Marley Man.. (My first)
Well, I ordered the Delta... Hope it cuts it- this collar will be for a lab I don't think that the coat length will be an issue, but I hope the intensity range is affective??
Don't have one but my gripe is that you have to look at the unit to tell what level you're on. And it replaced the TT unit I sold most to customers, the Sport Basic. Not a smart move in my opinion by TT.
I suspect "TT" did not have a vote in that move. They are owned by Garmin, and Garmin will call the shots. Look at the new IC shirts, and you will see what I mean.....

You're right Gulfcoast, but why can't a company just buy another then let them keep running like they were? They obviously bought TT because it was a successful company so why step in and go changing it!
I see it as a generational product too. Older folks are not fans of the digital screens either. When used to a product with a dial, they can "feel" the setting levels and count the clicks. I can't tell you how many older retired gentlemen turn their dial to zero and count the clicks back to the level where they have been told to run their dog.
Folks aren't going to pull out their readers to see the digital numbers. I think that change long ago was a failure on Dogtra's part. I know two folks who dumped the Dogtra when it went digital even though they liked the ease of setting ranges on the Dogtra.
It all makes sense from a Corporate standpoint. What big business really listens to the customer and makes changes based upon feedback from their niche market? not many. I do know the Dogtra NC 1800 has a basic dial and two buttons. For new trainers that will probably be the new recommendation when all the Sport Basics are no longer available. I know a few folks in need of new ones so, will pass it on to them they'd better get moving and get their TT Sport Basic bought asap.

I really like her vehicle mode, its the best looking one from Energon in my opinion. My biggest complaint with this figure is her arms and hands. I wish they werent so poor looking and that her gun would fit on the outside of her arm but can live with those flaws. That and its cool to finally have a "female" autobot.

Web Stories
Sustainability videos, film to be screened
Posted November 19, 2008; 08:50 a.m.
The screening of two student-produced videos on sustainability as well as the feature-length film, "Everything's Cool," and discussion with the director is set for 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, in 101 McCormick Hall.
This past summer, seven Princeton students participated in "Communicating Sustainability: Video and Radio Training." Through the intensive four-week program, the students explored sustainability issues such as green roofs and food waste through the creation of videos and podcasts.
Two of their videos will be shown: "It's Greener On Top: A Look at Green Roofs" directed by students Jessica Hsu, Amy Seymour and Alex Renaud; and "The Search for the Schmoo: Adventures in Food Waste" directed by students Dawn Zhao, Kristen Davila, Doug Sprankling and Alan Yang.
In addition, celebrated filmmaker Judith Helfand will discuss "Everything's Cool" and answer questions from the audience following the presentation. The 2007 film, directed by Helfand and Daniel Gold, traces the politics of global warming.
The event is sponsored by the Office of Sustainability and the Student Environmental Communication Network with support from the High Meadows Fund.

Rambo. /Mathieu./ Matheiu
McFadden /Jones./ Jones
Thanks Hoops...I'm going to print your post and have it handy as I watch the draft!!
I DONT CARE HOW they get these guys or where just as long as one or two of them become dolphins.
IRELAND [as well as other finz brass] have long made the mistake of not taking PLAY MAKERS high in the draft. we havnt gone anywhere in 20 years because WE CANT PUT POINTS ON THE BOARD!! not because our front end beef didnt open holes 2 more inches. our o-lines have taken a LOT of the blame for miami not having ANY play makers.
and it will be a COLOSSAL mistake if our 1st pic is an OT. we went NOWHERE with long in his prime. why? NO PLAY MAKERS!! NO POINTS!! we have averaged about 17 points a game for YEARS now. i make and exception with WARMACK because this is another OTHER WORDLY talent and will be just as good in ANY scheme. WHY? because he doesnt need the huge athletic moves guys like cooper have. he flat stands up guys at the point with NO budge. they go no where in pass pro. like pouncy, he is in your face in a heart beat and when locked on, ITS OVER!! and he is a better athlete than a lot of guys think. and i believe we could trade down a few spots and still get him IF the finz are thinking o-line.
over all, as much as i LOVE warmack and see a hall of fame guard, PLAYMAKERS is what we need most along with CB'S who can actually play. i dont see any trade up for milliner. TRUFANT is the better all around db and will probably be sitting there at #12. this guy is a much faster SAM MADDISON and will play with us for years to come and give us the big play, take away corner we havnt had since sam.
DJ HAYDEN. one of my top 3 players in this draft. the best all around skills amongst db's in this draft, PERIOD!! i have been singing his praises for a while and would have screamed more but i thought he was done and over in football after that injury. IF he hadnt had the two injuries back to back, we wouldnt even have a shot at him as he would go top 2 in this draft. BUT, the fact he is so good and we have multiple hi picks, he is worth gambling on to move up in the lower 1st [and he could be gone] or take him with our 1st selection in the second round. someone just may take him in the 1st, teams like san fran who are in a position to draft WHOEVER they want!
i dont care for ANY of the pass rushers that hi, the ones who could actually be there at #12. even though we need another to go with wake. we had a GOOD pass rush, top 5 last year and we lost games because WE COULDNT SCORE POINTS!! and WE COULDNT STOP TEAMS in the air [where points come from]. so CB and offensive PLAY MAKER are where we need to stay in the first 3-4 pics in this draft.
JONATHAN MARTIN: is a better LT than a RT. which is odd, but, thats whats on tape. his ONLY problem playing the position last year was strength. and this could EASILY be corrected with the right off season weight room routine. he has the frame to build on, the smarts and the feet to play LT at a hi level, hi enough to get us where we want to go. and i dont think IRELAND is ready to call him a bust after taking him hi [i didnt want him in that spot] and watching him blunder on the rt side. now, if they have decided he cant play LT at the level they want, MORE EGG ON IRELANDS FACE and another reason to give the big bodies a rest for a while hi in the draft. they need to focus on play makers and TRUE corners. PERIOD!! we have found some good pass rushers later in the drafts and in canada so if it comes down to PASS RUSHER, CB or PLAY MAKING WR, we should go with CB or WR. again, we lost most games last year do to NO PLAY MAKERS. could we use some more pass rush? yes, as wake needs a rest from the quadruple zuple attention he gets every play. but, our problems last year were not lack of rush, we had decent sack numbers and hurries and knock downs, we just didnt have CB'S who could cover for ANY length of time!! AND, we had no one in the endzone. leave MARTIN in at lt, draft a true lt prospect later in the draft [not some position change experiment] and let him have his weight program and play this year at LT.
IF WE TRULY are trading up, it better well be for milliner or to make sure we land AUSTIN who could very well not last till #12, no matter what the arm chair crowd thinks. AUSTIN is a wanted man and wont even sniff the bottom of the 1st. the cats out of the bag and to many teams no this isnt another one hit speed wonder you see hocking video games to over grown teenagers in the mall. he is a DOMINANT THREAT at 3 different positions.
this draft is UNDER RATED and outside of AUSTIN, TRUFANT, DJ HAYDEN EIFERT and WARMACK , all guys with dominant game, freakish talent, there are dozens upon dozens of players i would be very happy with in the rounds 3-5. good players. starters. THIS FIRST 3 PICS absolutely have to be HOME RUN HITTERS, BPA's at every pic with our 1st and 2 second rounders. no reach at pass rusher and no tackles or o-line other than warmack. i like cooper, a whole lot. but, he isnt the freekish talent that warmack is, and warmack is a talent on the line you see come around ever other decade or so.
Still hoping for either Dee Milliner (if he drops or we trade up) or Xavier Rhodes. We've got tools on offense, lets solidify the secondary and keep opponents off the field.
i do however think he has better tools than sean smith but i don't know that they are elite corner tools...
he may well go at pick #12 to us...but i'm not endorsing it...
YES, YES and YES!!!!!!to me if you're gonna draft someone with a top 20 pick you should be playing to his strengths and what you graded him so high in the first place with...not asking him to be something else...i think that's where you can get yourself in trouble...so much projection with a position switch.
and this is where the finz shot callers have blown it over the years. a PERFECT EXAMPLE is a couple years back when we needed SAFETY help in the worst way. and wouldnt you know it, our pick is up and we have EARL THOMAS, one of the best safety prospects in while is sitting in our lap. a top 5 pic on most boards around the country. a NO BRAINER, right?
we trade WAY down and select ODERICK who still hasnt proved much, not for a 1st round choice, and THOMAS is collecting pro bowls!!!! and the extra pics we got in that trade were no where.
like i said, a NO BRAINER, accept where the dolphins are concerned. and this is where IRELAND cant make the same mistake AGAIN!! we have a couple BLUE CHIP PLAYERS, who are actual NEEDS that could be available at #12, AUSTIN, TRUFANT, EIFERT. the only allowance here is WARMACK who we could trade down a few spots and land. a probable HOF guard. and thats IF the finz are determined to go o-line. i prefer the CB or AUSTIN, but, we do NEED guards and warmack is the best to come around in MANY years.
as long as it is a REAL TALENT, a top player at his position, they could take any of those mentioned players and it would be RIGHT for a change.
SCORE THROUGH THE AIR or STOP THE PASS. our two biggest needs. there are a handful of players who fit that bill who will probably be there at #12.
and i would say that hands down, CB is the biggest need as we have NO ONE good and our f/a choice is a MAJOR injury concern. probably the worst injury you could have as a DB. but........., AUSTIN is an other worldly talent, a guy who dominates at 3 different positions. that doesnt come along all the time. hardly EVER happens. and even though we brought in some wr's who can produce, austin is a whole different animal, a guy who is blinding fast and causes mismatches across the board. this is the ICING ON THE CAKE, THE GUY WHO OPENS IT ALL UP, THE GUY WHO PUTS DEFENSES IN CONSTANT MAN ON MAN WITH NO ROOM TO CHEAT UP OR ROLL COVERAGES. its pitch and catch to wallace, gibson, hartline and austin.
and i dont have to say what this all does for our run game. we have all heard before about "this guy changes it all, no one will be able to cover us now, blah...blah...., etc.... . austin IS that guy, the real deal that makes an offense like ours almost unstopable [see rams with marshall falk]. and in this day and age of pass at all costs, 40 points a game average teams and bare minimum 4,000 yd/49 td qb's, you HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SCORE TO KEEP UP!!
this draft, our TOP CHOICE has to be a HOME RUN. no more skipping top talent to land more watered down talent later.

Chapter 8: Introduction to Calculus
This final chapter introduces the concept of limits. You will learn the meaning of one-sided limits, and how to calculate the limit of a polynomial function.
The real point to this chapter, though, is an introduction to derivatives and integrals.
You have had practice in the past with identifying average speed over a certain distance or time, but what if you needed to know the speed of an object right now? In other words, how could it be possible to calculate the instantaneous speed of an object? When you calculate the average speed of something, you divide the distance traveled by the time it takes, but when calculating the instantaneous speed of something, there is no distance, and no time either! This is where the derivative of a function comes in, learning to calculate the derivative allows you to calculate instantaneous speeds, among other things.

Chapter Summary
This final chapter covers the concepts of limits, including one-sided limits. Limits are studied in order to provide a platform from which to introduce derivatives and integrals.
Students are taught about tangent lines and rates of change, and the comparison between the tangent to a curve and the instantaneous speed of an object.
The text wraps up with a discussion of calculating the area under a curve with integrals and the definition of the fundamental theorem of calculus.

000 WTPZ43 KNHC 291453 TCDEP3 POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE ROSLYN DISCUSSION NUMBER 17 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP182016 800 AM PDT THU SEP 29 2016 Roslyn has been devoid of deep convection overnight, and the system consists of only a swirl of low clouds. Given the lack of convection, Roslyn has become a post-tropical remnant low. The initial intensity is kept at 25 kt based on continuity from earlier scatterometer data. The cyclone should spin down over cool waters and completely dissipate after 24 hours. The motion is north-northwestward or 345/6 kt.

Kneeland Youngblood, a 1978 Princeton graduate and accomplished leader in business, medicine and government, gave the keynote address at "Leading Change in Science and Technology: A Princeton Engineering Conference for Black Alumni" on Friday, April 27. The two-day conference brought together black leaders in science and technology, as well as public policy and business to share ideas about leadership, entrepreneurship and "best practices" for increasing diversity in the scientific and engineering fields.
At left: Conference participants had a chance to greet one another at a breakfast before sessions began on Friday morning. Alumni attending included (from left): Catherine Toppin '02, an associate in the Intellectual Property Group at Edwards Angell Palmer and Dodge LLP in Boston; Otis Jennings '94, assistant professor at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business; Abigail Joseph '95, a middle school technology specialist at Prospect Sierra School in El Cerrito, Calif.; and Audrey Ellerbee '01, a doctoral candidate in biomedical engineering at Duke.
Conference organizer William Massey, a 1977 Princeton graduate and the Edwin S. Wilsey Professor of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, participated in a panel discussion with other faculty members on "Princeton Today: Leading Research and Education." Massey was praised for his role as a mentor to generations of Princeton students.

Leading change: Conference looks at diversity in science and engineering
Posted April 27, 2007; 03:29 p.m.
Change is inevitable and must be guided carefully to improve individual lives and society, Kneeland Youngblood said April 27 at a Princeton conference on leadership and diversity in engineering, science and mathematics.
"There is never an opportune time to take risk, but in not changing, you're taking risk," said Youngblood, a 1978 Princeton graduate and accomplished leader in business, medicine and government. He illustrated his point using examples from his wide-ranging career, including the careful calculations that went into his successful transition from an emergency room doctor to his current role as co-founder and managing director of Pharos Capital Group and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
The two-day conference, titled "Leading Change in Science and Technology: A Princeton Engineering Conference for Black Alumni," brings together black leaders in science and technology, as well as public policy and business. The event, which was set to continue on Saturday, presents a forum for alumni to learn about research and education in Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science and to share ideas about leadership, entrepreneurship and "best practices" for increasing diversity in the scientific and engineering fields.
"This conference challenges ourselves and the University to take leadership roles in different parts of our society in different aspects of engineering, science and technology," Youngblood said.
At a breakfast Friday morning, Dean of Engineering H. Vincent Poor, who is a 1977 Princeton graduate alumnus, discussed gender and racial diversity with conference attendees. While minority representation has improved in recent years, Poor was adamant in his conviction that much more remains to be done to increase diversity in the student body and faculty in the engineering school, as well as throughout academia and industry in general.
"The 'Leading Change' conference represents a chance for us to brainstorm about best practices for diversity, and also to reconnect with Princeton alumni and engage them in this important discussion," said conference organizer Margaret Martonosi, a professor of electrical engineering who chairs the engineering school's diversity committee. "I look forward to being able to implement ideas from this workshop in our efforts here on campus."
Alumni in attendance were pleased with the opportunity to share their ideas and strategies to increase diversity and improve the Princeton experience for current and future black students.
"It's wonderful that the University is providing ways for alumni to contribute things other than dollars," said Audrey Ellerbee, who graduated from Princeton in 2001 with a BSE in chemical engineering. A doctoral candidate in biomedical engineering at Duke University, Ellerbee was recently awarded a Congressional Fellowship from the American Association of the Advancement of Science. "We can have a lasting impact by contributing ideas," she said.
Many of the conference attendees, including Youngblood and conference organizer William Massey, a 1977 Princeton graduate and the Edwin S. Wilsey Professor of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, already have had a lasting impact by serving as mentors to generations of Princeton students.
"Whether we're trying to increase diversity in graduate school or in different industries, the first hurdle is just the comfort level," said Otis Jennings, a 1994 Princeton graduate and assistant professor at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. "The way you keep people is by making them feel like they belong, which is what I had with Bill Massey. I didn't feel like I was a visitor, I felt like I was a member of the community."
Jennings credits Youngblood with opening the door that could have prevented him from attending Princeton. Then a senior in high school, Jennings could not afford a plane ticket to travel from Dallas to visit Princeton -- and Youngblood purchased a ticket for the young man, though they'd never met.
"It was the right thing to do," Youngblood said, who stressed the importance of giving back in his address. "Investing in people for people's sake, you never know where or how that will help."
The conference continued Friday with a panel discussion on the relation between student leadership on campus and leadership later in life. On Saturday, the conference was scheduled to include a talk by Wesley Harris, head of the Department Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the first African American to earn a doctorate in engineering at Princeton. A panel discussion on "Laboratory to Market: The Impact and Business of Science and Technology" was set to follow.
The conference, which attracted about 100 alumni, follows two other successful gatherings held this academic year focusing on alumni of color. In September, 500 participants attended the "Coming Back and Looking Forward" conference for black alumni. In November, "Kaleidoscope: An Alumni Conference on Race and Community at Princeton University" also drew 500 attendees to reflect on changes that have occurred at Princeton in recent years, to identify today's challenges and opportunities, and to look ahead.

Three years ago, Charles Ferguson's film might have made a difference. With remorseless clarity and detachment, it lists all the errors made by the Bush administration, starting before the Iraq invasion in 2003 and moving on into 2004: blunders of planning, preparation, and common sense that doomed the misguided mission and pre-ordained the inextricable mess that it is today.
True, back in 2004, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 tipped off voters to the lies underlying the war, but who can trust Michael Moore? So the powers of greed, fear-mongering, megalomania, cowardice, and willful ignorance prevailed, and here we are. "I know with certainty," Donald Rumsfeld says in praise of his president (in one of several sound bites that run like "The Greatest Hits of the Neo-Cons"), "that over time the contributions you've made will be recorded by history." If this film is the beginning of that record, the judgment of history might be a little harsh.
Perhaps because Fahrenheit 9/11 and other films have already covered this ground, Ferguson doesn't dawdle over the deceptions, the jingoism, and the scare tactics — all abetted by the media — that made the war possible. He does, however, imply that if the war had been run by non-idiots, it might have turned out okay. That might explain why a "liberal hawk" like George Packer, who initially supported the war, isn't called to task for his earlier stand. Instead, Packer and the other talking heads outline the falling dominoes of folly that anyone who's been paying attention knows about already. Under the chapter headings "The Void," "Things Fall Apart," and "Chaos," No End in Sight coldly recounts such fatal decisions as the failure to combat the looting following the fall of Baghdad and Paul Bremer's disbanding of the Iraq army in 2004. Had Saddam planned the Coalition's occupation "policy," it could not have gone any worse.
So, that's history. You can infer from the film's title that Ferguson doesn't have any solution to offer. Rather, he ends the film on an ambiguous note. A young Marine officer who has been testifying to his disillusioning experience during the war asks the camera rhetorically, "Is this the best America can do?" But what is he responding to? The administration's record? The media's ineffectuality? Or is he warning us that if we withdraw before "the job is done," the battered US military will have fought and died in vain? That notion added several years and several thousand casualties to the toll of Vietnam. What we could use now is a documentary that gets it right before it's too late to mean anything.

DRC: New aid approach brings choice and dignity
It is nearly noon under the blazing sun of Kambilo, a village in the north of the mining province of Katanga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). On one side of a clearing, local stallholders and merchants are setting up shop. On the other side, several hundred people line up patiently. They are residents of a nearby camp for people displaced by fighting.
The shoppers are waiting for the opening of an IDP fair – a new approach to aid delivery in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). These fairs allow people who have fled their homes and their belongings to buy supplies – clothes, cooking utensils and other household items, for example – directly from local vendors, instead of relying on standardized kits from NGOs or UN agencies.
This is the first fair to be held in Kambilo. The camp here is home to about 127,000 people who fled fighting in nearby Manono in March of this year. The fair is organised by the Salvation Army and is being financed by the OCHA-managed Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF).
The CHF is a country-based fund that pools money from different donors. Aid agencies can draw from this pool to ensure that urgent needs are met quickly and efficiently.
A range of benefits
Each displaced familiy receives a set of coupons worth US$ 90. They use these coupons as cash – shopping for what they need. Nadège Zawadi is a 25-year-old mother of four, and is expecting her fifth child soon.
"I was worried as the rainy season was approaching. Our huts are made of straw and the rain comes through; so I was wondering how I would live there with the children," she said. "It was the same for everyone in the camp. (But) now that I have bought some canvas, I'm not worried any more."
Nadège also bought clothes and kitchen utensils. "Everything I had was plundered during the war. When I wanted to leave my hut, I had to borrow clothes from a neighbour. To prepare some food, I had to go and borrow pots."
The value of these fairs goes beyond the goods they provide. Families also get a much-needed sense of freedom; they are able to choose what they want, not what someone else has decided they need. They are able to haggle over prices and find bargains, just like they did before they were forced from their homes.
Local merchants benefit from a cash injection into the local economy, while the Aid camps minimize the negative effects of an influx of free aid on small businesses. At the end of the day, the merchants exchange the coupons they have received for cash from the NGOs involved.
"I managed to sell all my merchandise," said one tired but satisfied vendor. "I made the profit I expected and I am satisfied."
Rebuilding a sense of empowerment and responsibility
Trade fairs are a relatively new approach to aid distribution; a contrast with the traditional method of mass distributions of pre-defined basic supplies. They have so far proven a great success in DRC.
In2012, the CHF funded 23 of these fairs across the country, supporting more than 26,000 families in the process and injecting over $16.3 million into conflict-ravaged local economies. Since the beginning of this year, the CHF has allocated about $6 million towards providing people with basic shelter supplies, and other relief items, including through initiatives like the Kambilo fair.
"These fairs are an important step in rebuilding the lives of those displaced," said Alain Decoux, who runs the CHF in DRC. "While they wait to return home, we want to rebuild the sense of empowerment and responsibility over their lives."

Has anyone thought about how overwhelmed the health care system would be if everyone had coverage? Millions of people who do not seek care for many things will be lined up to receive services. Now I am not saying people should not be insured because they will overwhelm the system, but I am saying it would cause great problems in the health care delivery system as we know it. Add to this decreased reimbursement to providers and you will soon see a major shortage of healthcare providers because who wants to spend the time it takes to become a nurse, physician, medical technologist, radiology tech .for less money than they are making now and with an increased work load?
Think there are waiting list in other countries with nationalized healthcare, wait till you see it here. The other countries have had decades to deal with it. We would be starting from scratch.
Just saying
