All the above worries are seriously a surprise to me.
With at least a dozen hotel stays every year - and me quite often looking for "Budget" rooms and the likes (except when Holiday Inn Express or Best Western are available - I rather like them), it's hardly a big deal.
I used to live in LaMesa (my old apartment where SirSteve had stayed with me many years ago at prior Comic Cons) and it was near San Diego State and only the average amount of crime went on in the area - and none of which I can recall being witness too - though I was once paranoid some guy stole my phone and my underwear. (Didn't turn out to be true.)
Now I live in San Diego, but usually loathe having house guests for Comic Con. In 2006, I had too many - people sleeping on the floor in the living room, my cats getting scared from the people over and crapping and throwing up because they were distressed from the change to what they were usually accustomed to - and me having to be quiet in my living room / kitchen area when I wake up in the middle of the night and want to make myself something to eat and bang around doing laundry and dishes - or the cat boxes which have to be done when I'm not actually at Comic Con.
It got to be too much, really fast.
As it is, I am unable to work right now, because I am cleaning up so that I can at least host Steve in my spare room. On the extra bed are boxes of my Star Wars or Transformers that I need to drive 40 minutes round trip to return to my storage so that I can uncover my 2nd bed to sleep on.
While working from home, I NEVER keep a tight house. I write and do my thing and don't worry about it when I live alone and almost NEVER have company over - or can have at least the living room and one bedroom clear for a short visit.
So now I'm losing work time on my writing and delaying when my 2nd novel will be ready for review and instead preparing my house since there's just under a month out until the con. I am seriously irritated to do all this, plus load the truck for multiple trips to the storage, buring gas and hours I could spend otherwise. I've been starting to hate comic con every year because of this.
I swear that if I weren't so broke right now due to my business expenses, I'd just live in a hotel and say F-it.

Major depression with psychotic features is a mental disorder in which a person has depression along with loss of touch with reality (psychosis).
See also:
Psychotic depression; Delusional depression
The cause is unknown. A family or personal history of depression or psychotic illness makes you more likely to develop this condition.
People with psychotic depression have symptoms of depression and psychosis.
Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality. It usually includes:
The types of delusions and hallucinations are often related to your depressed feelings. For example, some patients may hear voices criticizing them, or telling them that they don't deserve to live. The person may develop false beliefs about their body, for example that they have cancer.
For information on symptoms of depression, see: Major depression
Your health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms. Your answers and certain questionnaires can help your health care provider diagnose this condition and determine how severe it may be.
Blood and urine tests and possibly a brain scan may be done to rule out other medical conditions with similar symptoms.
Psychotic depression requires immediate medical care and treatment.
Treatment usually involves antidepressant and antipsychotic medication. You may only need antipsychotic medication for a short period of time.
Electroconvulsive therapy can help treat depression with psychotic symptoms. However, medication is usually tried first.
This is a serious condition. You will need immediate treatment and close monitoring by a health care provider.
You may need to take medication for a long time to prevent the depression from coming back. Depression symptoms are more likely to return than psychotic symptoms.
The risk of suicide is much higher in people with depression with psychotic symptoms than in those without psychosis. You may need to stay in the hospital if you have thoughts of suicide. The safety of other people must also be considered.
If you have thoughts of suicide or harming yourself or others, immediately call your local emergency number (such as 911) or go to the hospital emergency room.
You may also call a suicide hotline from anywhere in the United States, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-999-9999.

|>> Archive: Warmwater Gamefish Flies Freshwater Bass, pike, muskie?!?
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Mike, I can see how those flies would attract some fish. Ugly is not a bad thing when it comes to flies .
John, I think I got one of your white dragonflies in a fly swap a while back. Not sure if I still have it .
I don't expect to catch many small fish on that pink dragonfly because it's tied on a bass bug hook and has a heavy mono weed guard. I'm hoping to try it out on some fish that will just engulf it rather than nip at it. The damselfly is tied on a smaller hook and would probably nab some of those little fish, but I'm not sure how durable it is so I'm saving it for a good dragonfly day when I can see bass jumping for them.
|John Desjardins
Having played with draggon flies for a couple of years on warmwater fish a few years ago and eventually came to the conclusion that a gurgler worked as well as anything I came up. Tie it on a #12 hook with an extra long tail, and trim off the bottom hackle.
From those experiments I found that to hook sunfish you need a flexible tail that lets it bend enough to get the hook into the fishes mouth. Other wise lots of hits with ~ 5-10 % hooked. A stinger hook in the tail might work but I always figured it would hook me as often as fish.
Pretty, pretty
Nice looking flies but my Chilean guide proved to me that these ugly dragons catch big trout when I was there fishing last November. I went through a dozen of these flies in a day on decent rainbows and browns that had a knack for finding underwater logs to wrap around.
See attached. I tied these uglies and I was amazed at how much the trout loved them. All that mattered was the profile and the color of the fly. Some days they wanted black, others gray etc. The tie uses foam that you cut with a pair of scissors and a little deer hair for wings. You double over the foam and wrap around the double layer to make a head. This guide claimed that dragon flies have translucent wings that cannot be seen very well when they are in or just above the water (especially if the wings are moving).
And these bad boys were a dream to cast.
Just throwing this horrible looking fly into the pile.
Best regards,
Dragonflies (by Orvis)
OK, so I didn't tie these and I don't have the recipe, but they look pretty good . They're from the Orvis shop in Manchester, VT. I've tried the pink one a few times and had some sunfish nipping at it but haven't gotten a chance to cast it to an active largemouth yet. The wings do create some problems: they make a sound similar to having weeds on the hook, they limit the casting range a bit and they tend to twist the line. But they look awesome when the fly is on the water . I'm guessing that the body profile is more important anyway, so I might decide to trim the wings partially or completely depending on how the fly performs.

Having problem on breeding. :(
Hello, I'm having some problems on breeding my Kohako and Albino Swordtails. 2 months before when I have no tank for them, I put them along with my Black Swordtails and 1 of my Kohako and Albino Swordtail got pregnant and the results are some Black S. and Pale colored Swordtails.
After getting a new tank for my Kohako and Albino S. they got pregnant again by my Hi-Fin Albino S. but the fry that being born are Black S and Pale Colored S. again. No albino or kohako s. are coming out from them. Until now they're giving birth to Black S. and Pale colored S and it's over 2 months and the result are still the same.
I have no idea why is that happening.
Any help?
(sorry for my english)
This is because live bearers store packets of semen for use later. She only needs to have romance ocassionally yet can produce fry for quite a long time.It can take 4 to 6 months to clear the wrong fertilization. It can be possible to ruin spawning groups this way. Sorry.

Oh i see. so it will take some time for the real Albino and Kohako fry to come out.
thank you for the help!

Do not buy tickets from anyone that you cannot do a person by person exchange or a process you are comfortable with.
Post date the check so that it shouldn't be honored until the date written. This last tip is only my opinion
actually, that's a GREAT tip ... post date the check for two weeks after tix are to be mailed .. then, when you are given the tix, call the ticket office or go by to make sure they are legitimate tix ... if the check clears anytime before that .. this is on the bank and not you .. so, trust me, they won't cash it at all ..
This sounds like the guy - the guy I spoke to said he relocated to Miami, former LSU grad and his dad, just deceased, was a professor in Architecture at LSU. Basically the process he described was that to go to grocery store with western union/ in this case went to minute money in Miami and that money would not be released until the FedEx guy showed me the envelope with the tickets, an authenticated letter from LSU and a parking pass and once I reviewed that I would sign a release form that he had to release the money. What happended is the money was released immediately when did the minute money transaction, he gave us fake fedex tracking number as well.

Ichthyosis seems to be a fairly common topic on the Golden Retriever Forum lately as people and veterinarians are learning what it is.
One thing that I noticed is that a lot of peope whose Golden has been diagnosed as affected have also commented that the dog has IBD or lots of food intolerances.
I posted and specifically asked whether people have noticed their dog with ichthyosis also has stomach issues, and the answers are coming back "yes".
So just wanted to put it out here, too. Not sure if anyone even has an affected dog, but if you do, or know of one, just curious if the theme of accompanying stomach issues is just a coincidence, or are they more common in Ichthyosis affected dogs???
Thanks for any observations or comments.

Hubble Telescope Director Steven Beckwith to address Harpur Forum
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has been pushing the frontiers of astronomy since its launch in 1990. The orbiting observatory has watched comets disintegrate, measured the expansion rate of the universe and detected clumps of matter - perhaps the seeds of planets - swirling around the stars.
This is the world of Steven V.W. Beckwith, director of the Space Telescope Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University, who will speak to the Harpur Forum at its breakfast meeting at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, September 19, at the Binghamton Club. Beckwith's talk, titled "The Universe through the Hubble Space Telescope," will begin at approximately 8 a.m.
Beckwith joined the Space Telescope Science Institute in 1998 as its director. Prior to joining the institute, he was director of the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Astronomie in Heidelberg, Germany, a position he held from 1991 until 1998.
Beckwith holds a degree in engineering physics from Cornell University. In 1978, Beckwith went on to earn a doctorate in physics from the California Institute of Technology. At Caltech, Beckwith conducted his research in various areas of observational astrophysics, working with a group that developed infrared instruments for the telescopes at Mount Wilson and Palomar Mountain. He went from Caltech to the Department of Astronomy at Cornell University where he taught for 13 years.
Beckwith's main research interests are the formation and early evolution of planets including those outside the solar system and the birth of galaxies in the early universe. He has published many research articles and lectures extensively to both the general public and professional audiences. Beckwith has won numerous awards in the United States and Europe for his research and serves on various advisory committees that help shape the landscape of funding for major international astronomy projects.

7.9: Landforms from Stream Erosion and Deposition
What on Earth are 'goosenecks'?
In Southeastern Utah, stream meanders have been immortalized by erosion into the Goosenecks of the San Juan River. This satellite image shows the amazing path the river has cut. Even better is to stand at the edge and look into one of the meanders. Goosenecks State Park is in the southeastern corner of Utah.
Erosion by Streams
Flowing streams pick up and transport weathered materials by eroding sediments from their banks. Streams also carry ions and ionic compounds that dissolve easily in the water.
Sediment Transport
Sediments are carried as:
- Dissolved load: Dissolved load is composed of ions in solution. These ions are usually carried in the water all the way to the ocean.
- Suspended load: Sediments carried as solids as the stream flows are suspended load. The size of particles that can be carried is determined by the stream's velocity (Figure below). Faster streams can carry larger particles. Slower streams can only carry smaller particles. Streams with a steep gradient (slope) have a faster velocity and can carry larger particles.
The Amazon River appears brown when carrying a large sediment load.
- Bed load: Some particles are too large to be carried as suspended load. These particles bumped and pushed along the stream bed as bed load. Bed load sediments do not move continuously. This intermittent movement is called saltation. Streams with high velocities and steep gradients cut down into the stream bed. This type of erosion is primarily by movement of particles that make up the bed load.
- An animation of saltation is found here: http://www.weru.ksu.edu/new_weru/multimedia/movies/dust003.mpg.
- A video of bedload transport is found here: http://faculty.gg.uwyo.edu/heller/SedMovs/Sed%20Movie%20files/bdld.mov.
Stream Deposition
A stream is at its base level where it meets a large body of water. As a stream gets closer to base level, its gradient lowers. The stream deposits more material than it erodes. On flatter ground, streams deposit material on the inside of meanders. Meanders are bends in the stream's path. Placer mineral deposits are often deposited on the inside of meanders.
A stream's floodplain is much broader and shallower than its channel. When a stream flows onto its floodplain, its velocity slows. The stream deposits much of its load. Stream sediments are rich in nutrients and make excellent farmland. The Mississippi River floodplain is heavily farmed. Flooding can wipe out farms and towns, but the stream also deposits nutrient-rich sediments that enrich the floodplain (Figure below).
The Mississippi River floodplain at normal flow and during flood.
A stream at flood stage carries lots of sediments. When its gradient decreases, the stream overflows its banks and broadens its channel. The decrease in gradient causes the stream to deposit its sediments. The largest sediments are deposited first. These large sediments build a higher area around the edges of the stream channel. This creates a natural levee.
When a river enters standing water, its velocity slows to a stop. The stream moves back and forth across the region. The stream drops its sediments in a wide triangular-shaped deposit called a delta (Figure below).
The Ganges River forms an enormous delta in Bangladesh.
If a stream falls down a steep slope onto a broad flat valley, an alluvial fan develops (Figure below). Alluvial fans generally form in arid regions.
A series of alluvial fans spread out from mountains along the Badwater Basin in Death Valley, California.
- Streams carry dissolved ions and sediments. The sizes of the sediments a stream can carry depend on the stream's velocity.
- Particles that are too large to be suspended move along the stream bed by saltation.
- Rivers deposit sediments on levees, floodplains, and in deltas and alluvial fans.

5. What is water velocity?
6. What factors can influence the stream velocity?
1. If flood waters decrease, what will happen to the size of particle the stream can carry? What will be deposited and where?
2. Under what conditions do streams cut down into their beds? Under what conditions do they erode their banks?

Still no change. Very weird.
I'm quite bewildered by this trust metric. One very generous (but, IMHO, undeserved) master-level certification was enough to drag me up from observer to master. But the combined efforts of quite a few people aren't helping aaron at all.

News Releases, Media
For Immediate Release: Contact: Sharon Snyder May 29, 1998 Ron Harris Ian Stirton Kelly Huff
WASHINGTON California and New Jersey will be holding primary elections on June 2, 1998, to select candidates for the U.S. Senate (CA only) and House of Representatives.
Provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act require committees supporting candidates involved in the primary to file reports of their financial activity 12 days before the election.
As of 5 p.m. , May 29, 1998, disclosure reports from the following committees had not been filed:
The reports were to include financial activity occurring from April 1 through May 13. If sent by certified or registered mail, the reports should have been postmarked by May 18. Otherwise, the due date was closeofbusiness May 21.
Some individuals and their committees have no obligation to file reports under federal election law, even though their names may appear on state ballots. If an individual raises or spends less than $5,000, he or she is not considered a "candidate" subject to reporting under the FECA.
The FEC notified committees involved in the primary of their potential filing requirements on April 27. Those committees which did not file on the due date were notified on May 22 that reports had not been received and that their names would be published if they did not respond within four business days.
Other political committees supporting Senate and House candidates in elections (those which are not authorized units of a candidate's campaign) also are required to file preprimary reports, unless they report monthly. Those committee names are not published by the FEC.
Further Commission action against nonfilers and late filers is decided on a casebycase basis. Federal law gives the FEC broad authority to initiate enforcement actions, including the imposition of civil penalties ($5,500 for "any violation" and $11,000 for any "knowing and willful" violation).
The next regularly scheduled disclosure reports for candidate committees will be the quarterly report, due July 15. It will cover activity from May 14 through June 30.

Plueeze. $1040 a month for two is no bargain and without a drug co-pay your drugs are subject to the deductible. You didn't mention the deductible amount. How is the coverage better? Maternity coverage? I'm doubting you don't need that feature. How's the network?

Not sure if Mike's situation is a totally typical one. As I recall, within the past couple of years he went from being a bank employee to being self-employed.

Found this interesting. One of the candidates for Gov. in MA is campaigning on the fact that Romneycare is such a financial disaster for MA, that the only answer is for the Fed govt to go to single-payer.Obomneycare has failed to control health care spending, it is busting Massachusetts' budget, and therefore Democrats must embrace single-payer to fix the health care system. From Berwick's campaign website:In the Massachusetts state budget, almost every key line item has gone down by 20%, 30%, or 40% in real terms since 2000 except health care, which has gone up by 60%. In 2013, 43% of state expenditures are for health care – that's more than double what we spend on education.
It is time to explore seriously the possibility of a single payer system in Massachusetts. The complexity of our health care payment system adds costs, uncertainties, and hassles for everyone - patients, families, clinicians, and employers. I will work with the Legislature assemble a multi-stakeholder Single Payer Advisory Panel to investigate and report back within one year on whether and how Massachusetts should consider a single payer option.
Given the issues with Obamacare ... some would be solved"
1) Won't have to worry about the billing thing, since everybody just pays their taxes and doesn't need to get a bill.
2) Won't have to worry about the buggery insurance companies, except if you're very wealthy and want to be sure you get the healthcare you really need.
OTOH, if the Fed govt can't build a website for $600 million, I wonder how good they will be when they are involved in delivering healthcare? I'd say that Obama & his administration might find out that delivering health care is every bit as complex as buying health insurance. Some doctors might even say that it is more complex
I might be incorrect, but as I recall, the insurance companies were ready with their plans for O-care, and were able to enroll people directly ... while the Fed govt's website was incapable of doing that.

When information is transmitted, errors are likely to occur. This problem has become increasingly important as tremendous amounts of information are transferred electronically every day. Coding theory examines efficient ways of packaging data so that these errors can be detected, or even corrected.
The traditional tools of coding theory have come from combinatorics and group theory. Since the work of Goppa in the late 1970s, however, coding theorists have added techniques from algebraic geometry to their toolboxes. In particular, by re-interpreting the Reed-Solomon codes as coming from evaluating functions associated to divisors on the projective line, one can see how to define new codes based on other divisors or on other algebraic curves. For instance, using modular curves over finite fields, Tsfasman, Vladut, and Zink showed that one can define a sequence of codes with asymptotically better parameters than any previously known codes.
This book is based on a series of lectures the author gave as part of the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute (Utah) program on arithmetic algebraic geometry. Here, the reader is introduced to the exciting field of algebraic geometric coding theory. Presenting the material in the same conversational tone of the lectures, the author covers linear codes, including cyclic codes, and both bounds and asymptotic bounds on the parameters of codes. Algebraic geometry is introduced, with particular attention given to projective curves, rational functions and divisors. The construction of algebraic geometric codes is given, and the Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink result mentioned above is discussed.
No previous experience in coding theory or algebraic geometry is required. Some familiarity with abstract algebra, in particular finite fields, is assumed. However, this material is reviewed in two appendices. There is also an appendix containing projects that explore other codes not covered in the main text.
This book is published in cooperation with IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute.
Undergraduates in mathematics; mathematicians interested in coding theory or algebraic geometry and the connections between the two subjects.
"A great addition to an abstract algebra course or an algebra topics course. Written in a conversational tone; packed with accessible examples and theory."
-- MAA Monthly
"A useful supplement to an undergraduate text in coding theory to give students a basic introduction to algebraic geometry codes."

Now on to the fun stuff! We are excited to announce the winners! On each stop of the blog tour, you had the chance to win one of three $50 gift certificates to our website. Let's see who won!
On the first week, our basket designers revealed what they would receive in a gift basket of their dreams.
Joanna wanted a basket full of aqua goodies from Anthropologie, Sandy wanted a whole slew of things including a vintage featherweight and Edyta wanted Spring in her basket. The three gift certificate winners who paired them up correctly are Liz, Swedish Scrapper and Mary Deckert.
On the second week we got a little personal. We asked our star block designers what celebrity they have the hots for.
Vanessa has a thing for the funny guy, Will Ferrell, Camille is a fan of Brad Pit, in his early years, Kate's favorite celebrity is Paul Newman and Bonnie has had a long standing crush on Donny Osmond. The three gift certificate winners who paired their crushes up correctly are paige, kim and Marianne!

Lisa of Primitive Gatherings' dream house is this cute house she pinned, but she is looking forward to turning her lake house into her dream home, Polly and Laurie of Minick & Simpson chose this lovely coastal home and Lynne of Kansas Troubles Quilters' dream house is her very own cabin by the pond. The three winners who matched up the designers with their dream homes are Meredith, Montseta and MoeWest.
On the fourth and final week, our flower designers shared their very favorite flower arrangement.
The Me & My Sister ladies took a trip to the grocery store to choose their favorite arrangement, Anne just had to walk outside to snip some roses for her rose garden to put together her favorite flower arrangement and Sweetwater chose her wedding bouquet! The three winners who correctly paired up the flowers with the designer are Maxwells, Chris and cocoquilts!

Apple (AAPL) shares are up 47 cents, or half a percent, at $91.30, amidst a few positive notes from the Street today.
RBC Capital Markets's Amit Daryanani, who has an Outperform rating on the shares, and a $100 price target, writes this morning that his firm surveyed 4,000 consumers "and found the results to be constructive with regard to Apple's demand for 2HCY14," meaning that there is a "material upgrade cycle" coming for the iPhone with the presumed release of a larger-screen model this year.
Daryanani, whose survey was among U.S.-only consumers, conducted by a third party on June 10th to 12th, writes that he came away with five observations:
1) nearly 50% of consumers who plan to upgrade their phone intend to purchase an iPhone within the next three months; 2) 35% of the users who don't expect to purchase an iPhone would do so should Apple offer a larger form factor (Android cannibalization with iPhone 6); 3) 26% of the consumers are willing to pay a $100 premium for a 5.5" screen size; 4) ~74% of the consumers are aware that AAPL will launch a new iPhone this year (airpocket in September guide?); and 5) what consumers most desire from a new iPhone is better battery life, followed by larger screen size.
Daryanani explains that "More than one-third of the survey participants intend to upgrade or purchase a new smartphone within the next six months," regardless of brand. "Unsurprisingly, the typical upgrade cycle remains in the 1- to 3-year range, in lock-step with the standard 2-year carrier cycle."
He notes reasons why the other half don't intend to buy an iPhone, led by price:
More than one-third of the survey participants intend to upgrade or purchase a new smartphone within the next six months. Unsurprisingly, the typical upgrade cycle remains in the 1- to 3-year range, in lock-step with the standard 2-year carrier cycle.
Here's the chart of things that turned people off an iPhone:
In other Apple news today, there were a couple of price target increases. Needham & Co.'s Charlie Wolf raised his rating on the shares to $97 from $86.32, based on strength in Apple's March-ending quarter, and the software developments shown at the company's Worldwide Developer Conference two weeks ago, especially the new "Swift" programming language. And J.P. Morgan's Rod Hall reiterated an Overweight rating, and raised his rating on the shares to $108 from $89, writing that "We continue to believe that Apple is on the cusp of multiple new product launches that are likely to reinvigorate earnings growth relative to Street expectations."
An "iWatch" wearable piece of technology might be one of those, but Hall has his own broad theory, which he's espoused in past, about Apple having a family of devices that he has nicknamed "iAnywhere."

"The 2005 Caravina (100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1,100 cases) is showing even better this year than last. Gorgeous fudge/chocolate notes intermixed with blackberry and cassis, sweet silky tannins, and a long finish with no hard edges make for a delicious wine already showing complexity and best drunk over the next 10 years. Seavey Vineyard's seventh estate-produced Caravina Cabernet, the 2005, was made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that came from vines planted on several different locations of the south-facing hillside vineyard. The Seavey Caravina Cabernet is perhaps the best second label wine in Napa…keep in mind I have Seaveys going back to 1990 in my cellar." Rating: 92. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Dec 2008.
Winemaking style followed classic Bordeaux methods. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the juice remained in contact with the skins for an average of 14 days, with malolactic fermentation occurring in barrel. The wine was aged in French oak barrels (40% new oak) and bottled in May 2007. An incredible bright nose with layers upon layers of cherry, cassis and blackberry, supported by vanilla, cedar, dark chocolate and freshly roasted coffee beans. Mr. Parker calls this wine "supple, sexy and opulent", and who are we to disagree? Indeed the wine seduces and captivates the palate with its multilayered, harmonious flavors and long, entrancing finish. This wine is an icon of the justly heralded

In 2012 the IDF Life for a Child Programme (LFAC) launched an ongoing campaign targeting diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a severe medical complication that occurs primarily in people with type 1 diabetes. Among the diabetes community, it had been recognised for many years that misdiagnosis occured in developing countries. This is due in part to symptoms and clinical findings resembling more common illnesses such as pneumonia, gastroenteritis or malaria. The tragic result is children and youth often die undiagnosed or correct diagnosis comes too late.
In May, Fundación Diabetes Juvenil del Ecuador (FDJE) became the 18th centre to participate in Life for a Child's Diabetes Ketoacidosis Awareness Campaign. Based in Quito, Ecuador's capital, FDJE has been working with Life for a Child since 2010. The Programme is currently supporting close to 30 young people with diabetes.
FDJE representative Mercedes Lopez explained their reasons for participating: "As this campaign is vital to help people with diabetes to be identified and treated in time, it seemed very important to disseminate the [campaign] posters in health clinics throughout the country where we have previously identified cases of children with type 1 diabetes."
The association began their campaign in Manabi and Sta Elena provinces and then travelled to the cities of Manta, Portoviejo, Manglar Alto, and surrounding areas. They visited public and private hospitals and health centers, where they requested permission to place the posters in emergency rooms and areas frequented by both physicians and patients so that they could read and confirm the symptoms and signs for a quick diagnosis. Posters were also given to parents attending outreach programmes organised by the association, for sharing with their town health centers.
In total, over 18 hospitals/clinics received a visit and posters from FDJE. Life for a Child congratulates them and all the centres who have contributed to the campaign's success thus far.
All available posters can be accessed on the Life for a Child's DKA Awareness Campaign page.

A story of friendship that spans decades has the pictures to prove it. It all started with one photo of five teenagers at a cabin in Capco Lake in northern California back in 1982.Video: Since '82, friends recreate photo every 5 years (on this page)
They made a pact to take the exact same photo every five years and they have kept that promise. The friends, in order of how they appear in the photo from left to right, are John Wardlaw, Mark Rumer, Dallas Burney, John Molony, and John Dickson.
Molony is always pictured holding a jar, in homage to that first photo where he held a Folgers Instant Coffee container that was being used to house a cockroach the guys had decided to keep as a mascot.
The pals appeared on TODAY Tuesday to tell the tale behind the photo. Wardlaw told Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie that the popularity of the pictures, which have gone viral online, has "shocked" the group.
Story: After 10 long years, woman reunited with her stolen horse
Wardlaw, who was nicknamed "Wedge" in the eighties for his skinny frame and buzz cut, keeps the crew together. The cabin belongs to his family and he grew up going fishing there with his grandfather. The first trip the five guys took together was a special one because it was the first time his family let him go without adult supervision.
It was Wardlaw's idea to take the second photo five years after the first, and he suggested they mirror that first photo Dickson had taken.
"Five years later when we were all there I said, 'Hey, we're all here again. Let's take this photo again.' That started the five-year tradition," he told TODAY.Story: Her graduation gift from dad: A 13-year labor of love
According to the group, Rumer has changed the most, and Burney has changed the least. "I've looked exactly the same since I was a child," Burney said.
Video: Five siblings say 'I do' in mega-wedding
No matter the changes (or lack of them), the group has remained friends.
"Like any group of people, when you're really close and you go through life, your interests change and and that sort of thing, so sometimes we get irritated with each other," Rumer said. "Especially that first year we spent like a month at that cabin doing all sorts of stuff and we got on each other's nerves. So nobody talked to each other for like half an hour."Story: Terminal cancer patient, 12, inspires with viral makeup tutorials
The friends spoke regularly in the years between the photos, and a few of the guys have gone up to the cabin during that time. All of them still live out west, except for Molony, who lives in New Orleans.
This year, they took the latest shot. For the next photo, which will be taken in 2017, all plan on attending, once again.

None of the dolls really caught my eye. I usually have my fingers and toes crossed for a great to mint condition Francie doll for a good price. Since she rarely ever pops up...or she's always snatched before I get to that particular dealer's table, I'm used to being disappointed. I did find these though and I just had to share!

Rules of the Gaming Forum
These rules were compiled in an effort to make FinHeaven's gaming forum a premier location discuss video games for the hardcore and the casual gamer alike.
- Don't post misinformation – If you have some news, post it. Make sure it's legit, and provide links to news resources. If you are speculating then say so. If it's a rumor, then make that clear.
- Use the correct thread – This rule applies to all forums. If there is already a Madden thread, why do you think we need another one? We don't. Make sure your topic requires a new thread before creating one.
- No smack talk – It's perfectly fine to be a fan. Nintendo fans, welcome! Sony fans, Welcome! Microsoft fans, Welcome! It's perfectly fine to pull for your favorite developer and/or manufacturer. It is NOT ok to bash the competition simply because you're a hardcore fan.
- Don't hijack threads – This is another one that applies to all forums, it's just being re-stressed. If the thread is about Sony's launch titles, there is no reason you have to talk about how Microsoft's launch titles were better (unless it's brought up throughout discussion). Keep your posts in the right place.
- Have some fun – Remember, games are here to have fun. Getting bent out of shape because someone says your game sucks defeats the purpose of games. We're all in here for a common purpose and that's to discuss video games.
- Title your threads correctly - Don't name your thread "Hey guys" then have the content explain what it is you're talking about. If it's about God of War 2, then GoW2 should be in the thread title.
***UPDATE*** Be smart when selecting the title of your thread. With Madden 07 releasing soon, there's bound to be multiple leagues and threads spawning (which is fine). If you will be making a Madden League thread, using something like "Madden 07 League (platform - i.e. 360, PS2, xbox) - Mor's League". This way people know this thread is dedicated to a Madden League, and which Madden League it is.
Note -- With big realeases (like the up and coming Madden) I will create a stickied "main" thread on the topic to keep it from getting out of hand.
Suggestions are welcome
Useful crap....

Beef roast, horseradish and Melba rounds - mix together in a terrific appetizer recipe- in just 15 minutes.
Horseradish is an herb native to Eastern Europe. Fresh, the spiky leaves are added to salad greens and the root is grated to use as a seasoning. Most familiar is bottled grated horseradish root, white or red, used as a condiment for meat and fish. White horseradish root is marinated in vinegar; the red in beet juice. both are pungently spicy.
Use your favorite sliced deli meat or poultry for this recipe; try turkey, chicken or ham.
Sprinkle the crisps with chopped chives or very thinly sliced green onions in place of the parsley.

Yuengling book penned with passion by Ohio doctor
'Their history is unparalleled in American brewing,' author Robert Musson says
Thirty-four years after an unexpected encounter at the Yuengling brewery in Pottsville, an Ohio doctor is sharing his fascination with the history of the family-owned beer business.
Dr. Robert A. Musson tells Yuengling's unique story through more than 200 vintage photos he has assembled in his new book, D.G. Yuenging & Son, Inc., published by Arcadia Publishing.
"The family and the company have maintained this huge wealth of photographs, and the majority of photographs that are in this book are taken from their company and family archives, so pictures going back to, really, the 1840s, at the very beginning of when you could get photographs," said Musson, whose book provides a step through all facets of Yuengling's past with each turn of a page.
Musson's interest in brewing history grew from a collection of memorabilia -- beer signs, cans and labels -- he gathered as a teenager in Ohio.
"It was a popular fad for teenagers," he said.
Then, in 1979, a family vacation that included a stop in Pottsville sparked his specific interest in the Yuengling brewery.
"That was in the days before they had the gift shop and the museum and so forth, and so we just sort of showed up at the office unannounced," Musson recalled. "And of all people, the owner of the company, Richard Yuengling, came down and took my family and myself on a tour of the entire brewery... and it's something that has stayed with me for my entire life."
The Akron-born Musson has returned to the family-owned brewery many times since that memorable day in 1979, later meeting Richard's son, Dick, who would take over as the 5th generation owner in 1985, and learning all he could about the company.
"Yuengling's history is really unique in that, number one, it's been owned by the same family for its entire existence," he said. "They opened in 1829."
Staying in business for nearly 185 years, however, hasn't come without some challenges for "America's Oldest Brewery."
"One of the fascinating things is that they have been a survivor, to such a great extent," Musson said. "When you look at Prohibition, in particular, that put so many breweries out of business... and of all things, it was ice cream that kept Yuengling in business because they opened a dairy across the street."
Yuengling continued operating the dairy long after Prohibition ended in 1933, eventually getting out of the ice cream business in 1985.
(David Yuengling, the great-grandson of the ice cream brand's founder, Frank D. Yuengling, recently announced plans to reintroduce the ice cream early next year).
Yuengling then turned all of its attention to the brewery, with a focus on introducing the region's beer drinkers to its Lager and Black & Tan brews, the latter a 40/60 mix of its original Premium and Porter beers. The result was a rapid growth in the brand's popularity, so much so that the original brewery could no longer meet the region's demand, prompting Yuengling to expand its its operations to a former Schlitz/Stroh brewery in Tampa, Fla., and an all-new brewery just outside Pottsville, in Mill Creek.
"Certainly our Tampa and Mill Creek plants are larger and more modern, but knowing that my great-great-grandfather brewed beer at this same spot where we brew today is a special feeling that is unique to our family," Dick Yuengling wrote in the foreword to Musson's book, sharing with readers some unique insight into his family's business -- its past, present and future -- while inviting them to "take part in the Yuengling experience" by joining "the thousands of others who tour our brewery every year."
Dick Yuengling still maintains ownership as president of the brewing company, which will celebrate its 185th anniversary next year, while his four daughters -- Sheryl Yuengling, Deborah Ferhat, Jennifer Yuengling and Wendy Yuengling Baker -- each plays a role in its management, preparing to one day lead the booming beer business as its sixth generation owners.
D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. is available for purchase at the Yuengling brewery gift shop in Pottsville, local retailers, online bookstores, and online through Arcadia Publishing's website or by phone at 888-313-2665.
Another family road trip in 1976 brought to Reading a young Robert Musson, hoping to visit the Reading Brewing Company, but the outcome was far different than his stop in Pottsville.
"We didn't get there quite in time. They were actually hauling everything out of the plant when we got there. It just closed a few weeks earlier," Musson recalled. "There were several [breweries] in Reading. The Reading brewery itself was the last survivor."
Tough times may have helped bring an end to the original beer industry in Reading with the demise of the Reading Brewing Company, the Sunshine Brewing Company and others, but the time of day often reminds Musson of the city's rich brewing history, thanks to an Old Reading Beer clock he has hanging on a wall in his office.
"I've done a lot of histories on other brewing companies. It's just a personal interest of mine, and most of them have gone out of business, no matter how big they got, no matter how successful they were," Musson noted.
While the Reading Brewing Company ended its operations in 1976, its trademark brand -- Reading Premium Beer -- lives on. First revived by Reading-based Legacy Brewing in 2006, using a modern version of the original pre-Prohibition recipe and retro packaging, the beer is now brewed by New York-based Ruckus Brewing Company and available for purchase at local distributors.

So, might a book about Reading's brewing history be on tap? Only time will tell.
Writing books about the brewing industry is certainly nothing new for Robert Musson. He has self-published several volumes about the history of brewing in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, all of which are available through Zepp Publications.
"Almost all breweries, like Yuengling, they have so many pictures associated with them -- pictures of the brewing process, pictures of the advertising, and labels and cans and people and everything else," Musson said.
He has also completed two other books with Arcadia Publishing. The first, titled "Brewing in Cleveland," was released in 2005; the second, published last year, is titled "Brewing in Greater Pittsburgh." But Musson is not stopping there. In fact, he is already looking ahead to his next project.
"I have an interest in all of these breweries really throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio, and if I had the time, I would love to continue to do books on all of them because I just think their histories are fascinating, and I think it's a very visual sort of history," Musson said.
But his next project is leading him on a path toward his other passion -- roads and their history.
"I'm actually working on a book right now, covering the history of U.S. Route 22, which goes just north of Reading. I've done a couple other books on roads. They're full of pictures of old motels and gas stations and various other sites along the routes."
And Musson was willing to share an interesting tidbit of information he recently learned during his research of Route 22.
"Up until the 30s, 22 actually went right through Reading and then turned north to head up towards Allentown. Now, it's been realigned to the north, but it's a very interesting road. It goes all the way from Cincinnati to Newark, N.J., and there's just a tremendous amount of history along its course."
Musson said he expects it will take him about a year to complete the Route 22 book, so stay tuned.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Cotton's reign as king of Mississippi row crops ended decades ago, and the throne has been claimed by others in an era when romantic notions about the Deep South's economy give way to an annual, hard-decision process of planting what's most profitable based on many variables.
Among row crops, soybeans have held the top position for a long stretch of years in Mississippi, but beans are, at best, a distant second to poultry and eggs in overall agricultural production rankings. Soybeans, as reported in the Daily Journal, in 2012 bumped forestry from the No. 2 spot behind poultry, with a $1.16 billion year.
Agriculture, despite relatively small direct employment numbers on farms, continues as a sector of economic expansion. The total value in 2012, reported by Mississippi State University, exceeded $7.3 billion, about $2 billion more than five years ago, with additional expectation for growth.
As has been the case for more than 200 years, foreign demand for Mississippi agricultural products factors into the economic outlook and in planning for planting and harvests.
Poultry and eggs, soybeans, cotton, forest products and other crops all have an export component. Poultry and eggs, forest products, and soybeans claim more than $4.5 billion of Mississippi's total ag production.
The soybean crop, as MSU calculated, was a record at $1.16 billion, 42 bushels per acre and 82.3 million bushels total. In addition to its record value, Mississippi's soybean crop set a record for average yield and sold at $14.55 per bushel on average.
Most of Mississippi's major agriculture production plays out against a background of international market forces, especially crops like soybeans facing face stiff competition from expanding production in Brazil and Argentina, both exporters..
The USDA, in February, predicted a record U.S. bean harvest this year – 3.405 billion bushels. As reported by Reuters, the 2013 crops will be "a dramatic 13 percent increase from 2012's drought-hit crop that will allow larger U.S. crushings and exports while rebuilding stocks."
Soymeal exports are forecast to grow by 4 percent on stronger demand in Europe and Southeast Asia. USDA said in Reuters and other reporting the 2013 record crop would be grown on 77.5 million acres, and 1.95 million projected in Mississippi is 200,000 acres lower than 1.97 million in 2012. A lot rides on increasing productivity.
All other factors aside, two USDA long-term forecasts (through 2022) released in February that are not crop specific may have more impact than weather or the past year's results:
• The weaker dollar will remain a facilitating factor in projected gains in U.S. agricultural exports. The United States will remain competitive in global agricultural markets, with export gains contributing to longrun increases in cash receipts.
• After initial price declines, "long term growth in global demand for agricultural products, a depreciating dollar, and continued biofuel demand, particularly in the United States, the EU, Brazil, and Argentina hold prices for corn, oilseeds, and many other crops above pre-2007 levels."
A dose of measured optimism is always helpful is assessing risky ventures.

The Blue Ribbon Commission's best answer for the nuclear waste dilemma.
John A. Bewick is Fortnightly's contributing editor and formerly was secretary of environmental affairs for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. He holds advanced degrees in nuclear science and business management.
The Blue Ribbon Commission's best answer for the nuclear waste dilemma.
For America's nuclear power operators, the future looks more uncertain than it has for almost 30 years.
Among all the complex political, financial and technical issues affecting the country's nuclear future, the spent-fuel dilemma has proved to be one of the most difficult. However, just as the Department of Energy's Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future (BRC) prepares to issue its recommendations for a new approach to spent-fuel management, the Fukushima disaster has focused tremendous public attention on nuclear risks—adding pressure to a problem that already was nearing critical mass.
With the insistent media focus on details of the Fukushima-Daiichi failure, American citizens have learned that spent nuclear fuel pools aren't protected by containment, and that many such pools have exceeded their designed capacity. This awareness has increased fear of radiation exposure, and fueled growing opposition to nuclear power. Recent polls show support for nuclear power has diminished drastically since before the Fukushima disaster. (See "Nuclear Power in US: public support plummets in wake of Fukushima crisis," Christian Science Monitor, March 22, 2010) .
This change in support arrives just one year after President Barack Obama abruptly canceled the Yucca Mountain project, leaving DOE without a credible long-term plan for the permanent disposal of U.S. spent nuclear fuel, pursuant to its obligations under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982. Lawsuits filed by nuclear operators claim damages now reaching $1.8 billion, with the federal government's legal exposure to such litigation projected to balloon to more than $13 billion over the next decade. According to Kim Cawley with the Congressional Budget Office, each year of delay adds between $300 and $400 million in liabilities to the budget deficit, at a time when Congress is paying intense attention to deficits.
In this context, public trust and confidence in nuclear power seems unlikely to be restored unless, among other things, the federal government defines a credible path forward for developing a repository for spent nuclear fuel. Tasked with finding this path forward, the BRC has been engaged in hearings and technical investigations for more than a year, with draft recommendations expected to be released this summer. Sources tell Fortnightly the BRC likely will advise the federal government to create a new entity to manage disposal of spent nuclear fuel—probably a federal corporation (fedcorp) modeled on TVA.
A spent-fuel fedcorp could remove the constraints of the annual congressional budget cycle, allowing predictable annual financial support and improving the odds that a safe and effective future can be crafted for long-term management of depleted fuel rods and other radioactive materials. Similar approaches in Sweden and Finland have succeeded in moving their spent-fuel storage projects toward construction. And such a fedcorp—the Nuclear Fuels Management Corp.—was proposed in Congress by Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio, now retired), first in 2008 ((S.3661), The United States Nuclear

Download:Amanda Blank, "Might Like You Better" (via RCRD LBL)
They get ill: Five Philly rap essentials. By Daniel Brockman.
Anyone even minimally versed in Ms. Blank's œuvre would chuckle at the idea of her trying to keep things clean. Emerging from Philly dirty-rap crew Spank Rock, Blank distinguished herself among a sea of rap dudes with her dizzying spitfire attack and willingness to get nasty in a manner that was both playful and intimidating. "In my first interview ever, someone asked me what it felt like to be the Kelly Bundy of rap music. I was like, 'I wish!' I'm more like the Jerri Blank of rap music, like the character from Strangers with Candy — that's where 'Amanda Blank' came from. Because, you know, that character is so funny and kind of crazy-looking and all fucked up and whatever — though I'm less and less like that character as I get older."
Whoa, whoa, there: "As I get older"? Is the author of such Lil' Kimisms as "You'll be choking on my dick when I tell you to suck it" (from the 2007 Spank Rock/Aaron LaCrate collaboration "Blow") and "I've got rough-sex hair and a pussy made of gold" (from the 2005 Hollertronix mixtape B-More Gutter Music highlight "Super Freek") mellowing out on the she-gangster tip?
"What people know about me, especially on the Internet, is very specific, and it's very different than what I think I'd want to do. I can't imagine wanting to rap for 12 songs in a row about having sex. Sex is a big part of my life, and it especially was when I was in my early 20s, but I'm not, you know, crazed for it, you know?"
This could very well mean that by the time we get her full-length debut (I Love You drops in July on Downtown), it might be from a new, more mature Blank. "The thing is that when I was writing all of those earlier raps, I was single, you know? And I was just out on the town, 21 years old trying to, you know, get it all in. Meanwhile, in the last two years, while I was working on this album, I was also actually in love with somebody and had a totally different relationship with a man than I'd ever had before. I think that that plays a big role in this shift in my attitudes. My approach to having sex changed because I was having it with someone I was very much in love with."

The girl on the left in this photo is riding a stationary bike. She's getting exercise, but that's not the real reason she's riding the bike. She's using her muscle power to generate electricity through a process called electromagnetic induction.
What Is Electromagnetic Induction?
Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current with a magnetic field. It occurs whenever a magnetic field and an electric conductor, such as a coil of wire, move relative to one another. As long as the conductor is part of a closed circuit, current will flow through it whenever it crosses lines of force in the magnetic field. One way this can happen is illustrated in the Figure below. The sketch shows a magnet moving through a wire coil.
Q: What is another way that a coil of wire and magnet can move relative to one another and generate an electric current?
A: The coil of wire could be moved back and forth over the magnet.
The Current Produced by a Magnet
The device with the pointer in the Figure above is an ammeter. It measures the current that flows through the wire. The faster the magnet or coil moves, the greater the amount of current that is produced. If more turns were added to the coil or a stronger magnet were used, this would produce more current as well.
The Figure below shows the direction of the current that is generated by a moving magnet. If the magnet is moved back and forth repeatedly, the current keeps changing direction. In other words, alternating current (AC) is produced. Alternating current is electric current that keeps reversing direction.
How Electromagnetic Induction Is Used
Two important devices depend on electromagnetic induction: electric generators and electric transformers. Both devices play critical roles in producing and regulating the electric current we depend on in our daily lives. Electric generators use electromagnetic induction to change kinetic energy to electrical energy. They produce electricity in power plants. Electric transformers use electromagnetic induction to change the voltage of electric current. Some transformers increase voltage and other decrease voltage.
Q: How do you think the girl on the exercise bike in the opening photo is using electromagnetic induction?
A: As she pedals the bike, the kinetic energy of the turning pedals is used to move a conductor through a magnetic field. This generates electric current by electromagnetic induction.
- Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current with a magnetic field. It occurs whenever a magnetic field and an electric conductor move relative to one another so the conductor crosses lines of force in the magnetic field.
- The current produced by electromagnetic induction is greater when the magnet or coil moves faster, the coil has more turns, or the magnet is stronger. If the magnet or coil is moved back and forth repeatedly, alternating current is produced.
- Electric generators and electric transformers use electromagnetic induction to generate electricity or change the voltage of electric current.
- What is electromagnetic induction? When does it occur?
- How could you increase the amount of current produced by electromagnetic induction?
- Explain how a moving magnet and a coil of wire can be used to produce alternating current.
- List two devices that use electromagnetic induction.
