Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Several controlled studies have shown that long-term anticonvulsant treatment decreases blood levels of biotin.1 , 2 , 3 , 4 In children, a deficiency of biotin can lead to withdrawn behavior and a delay in mental development. Adults with low biotin levels might experience a loss of appetite, feelings of discomfort or uneasiness, mental depression , or hallucinations. To avoid side effects, individuals taking anticonvulsants should supplement with biotin either alone or as part of a multivitamin .
Several controlled and preliminary studies showed that multiple drug therapy for seizures results in dramatic reductions in blood carnitine levels.5 , 6 , 7 Further controlled research is needed to determine whether children taking anticonvulsants might benefit by supplementing with L-carnitine, since current studies yield conflicting results. For example, one controlled study indicated that children taking valproic acid and carbamazepine received no benefit from supplementing with L-carnitine.8 However, another small study revealed that children taking valproic acid experienced less fatigue and excessive sleepiness following L-carnitine supplementation.9 Despite the lack of well-controlled studies, individuals who are taking anticonvulsants and experiencing side effects might benefit from supplementing with L-carnitine.
Vitamin A
Anticonvulsant drugs can occasionally cause birth defects when taken by pregnant women, and their toxicity might be related to low blood levels of vitamin A. One controlled study showed that taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs results in dramatic changes in the way the body utilizes vitamin A.10 Further controlled research is needed to determine whether supplemental vitamin A might prevent birth defects in children born to women on multiple anticonvulsant therapy. Other research suggests that ingestion of large amounts of vitamin A may promote the development of birth defects, although the studies are conflicting.
Vitamin D
Though research results vary, long-term use of anticonvulsant drugs appears to interfere with vitamin D activity,11 which might lead to softening of bones ( osteomalacia ). One study showed that blood levels of vitamin D in males taking anticonvulsants were lower than those found in men who were not taking seizure medication.12 In a controlled study, bone strength improved in children taking anticonvulsant drugs who were supplemented with the activated form of vitamin D and 500 mg per day of calcium for nine months.13 Some research suggests that differences in exposure to sunlight-which normally increases blood levels of vitamin D-might explain why some studies have failed to find a beneficial effect of vitamin D supplementation. In one controlled study, blood vitamin D levels in children taking anticonvulsants were dramatically lower in winter months than in summer months.14 Another study of 450 people in Florida taking anticonvulsants found that few had drug-induced bone disease.15 Consequently, people taking anticonvulsant drugs who do not receive adequate sunlight should supplement with 400 IU of vitamin D each day to help prevent osteomalacia.
Vitamin E
Two studies showed that individuals taking phenytoin and phenobarbital had lower blood vitamin E levels than those who received no treatment for seizures.16 , 17 Though the consequences of lower blood levels of vitamin E are unknown, people taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs should probably supplement with 100 to 200 IU of vitamin E daily to prevent a deficiency.
Individuals on long-term multiple anticonvulsant therapy may develop below-normal blood levels of calcium, which may be related to drug-induced vitamin D deficiency.18 Two infants born to women taking high doses of phenytoin and phenobarbital while pregnant developed jitteriness and tetany (a syndrome characterized by muscle twitches, cramps, and spasm) during the first two weeks of life.19 Controlled research is needed to determine whether pregnant women who are taking anticonvulsant medications should supplement with additional amounts of calcium and vitamin D.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Reduce Side Effects
Vitamin B12
Anemia is an uncommon side effect experienced by people taking anticonvulsant drugs. Though many researches believe that low blood levels of folic acid are involved, the effects might be caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency. Deficiencies of folic acid and vitamin B12 can lead to nerve and mental problems. One study revealed that individuals on long-term anticonvulsant therapy, despite having no laboratory signs of anemia, had dramatically lower levels of vitamin B12 in their cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that bathes the brain) when compared with people who were not taking seizure medications. Improvement in mental status and nerve function was observed in a majority of symptomatic individuals after taking 30 mcg of vitamin B12 daily for a few days.20 Another study found that long-term anticonvulsant therapy had no effect on blood levels of vitamin B12.21 The results of these two studies indicate that people taking anticonvulsant drugs might experience side effects of vitamin B12 deficiency, and that the deficiency is not easily detected by the usual blood tests. Therefore, individuals taking anticonvulsant drugs for several months or years might prevent nerve and mental problems by supplementing with vitamin B12.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

Potential Negative Interaction
Explanation Required
Folic Acid
Several studies have shown that multiple anticonvulsant therapy reduces blood levels of folic acid and dramatically increases homocysteine levels.22 , 23 , 24 Homocysteine, a potential marker for folic acid deficiency, is a compound used experimentally to induce seizures and is associated with atherosclerosis . Carbamazepine alone has also been shown to reduce blood levels of folic acid.25
One preliminary study showed that pregnant women who use anticonvulsant drugs without folic acid supplementation have an increased risk of having a child with birth defects , such as heart defects, cleft lip and palate, neural tube defects, and skeletal abnormalities. However, supplementation with folic acid greatly reduces the risk.26 Consequently, some healthcare practitioners recommend that women taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs supplement with 5 mg of folic acid daily, for three months prior to conception and during the first trimester, to prevent folic acid deficiency-induced birth defects.27 Other practitioners suggest that 1 mg or less of folic acid each day is sufficient to prevent deficiency during pregnancy.28
One well-controlled study showed that adding folic acid to multiple anticonvulsant therapy resulted in reduced seizure frequency.29 In addition, three infants with seizures who were unresponsive to medication experienced immediate relief following supplementation with the active form of folic acid.30
Despite the apparent beneficial effects, some studies have indicated that as little as 0.8 mg of folic acid taken daily can increase the frequency and/or severity of seizures.31 , 32 , 33 , 34 However, a recent controlled study showed that both healthy and epileptic women taking less than 1 mg of folic acid per day had no increased risk for seizures.35 Until more is known about the risks and benefits of folic acid, individuals taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs should consult with their healthcare practitioner before supplementing with folic acid. In addition, pregnant women or women who might become pregnant while taking anticonvulsant drugs should discuss folic acid supplementation with their practitioner.
Vitamin B6
One controlled study revealed that taking anticonvulsant drugs dramatically reduces blood levels of vitamin B6.36 A nutritional deficiency of vitamin B6 can lead to an increase in homocysteine blood levels, which has been associated with atherosclerosis . Vitamin B6 deficiency is also associated with symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, mental depression , and seizures. On the other hand, supplementation with large amounts of vitamin B6 (80-200 mg per day) has been reported to reduce blood levels of some anticonvulsant drugs, which could theoretically trigger seizures. People taking multiple anticonvulsant drugs should discuss with their doctor whether supplementing with vitamin B6 is advisable.
Vitamin K
Some studies have shown that babies born to women taking anticonvulsant drugs have low blood levels of vitamin K, which might cause bleeding in the infant.37 Though some researchers recommend vitamin K supplementation prior to delivery,38 , 39 not all agree that supplementation for women taking anticonvulsant drugs is necessary.40 Until more information is available, pregnant women or women who might become pregnant while taking anticonvulsant drugs should discuss vitamin K supplementation with their healthcare practitioner.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

Senior Researcher,
Context, Learning, and User Experience for Search (CLUES), Microsoft Research
I am currently a Senior Researcher in the Context, Learning, and User Experience for Search (CLUES) group at Microsoft Research. Before joining Microsoft, I obtained my Ph.D. from the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon under Jaime Carbonell and John Lafferty. Prior to that I worked with Ray Mooney and Robert Causey during my undergraduate days in the Computer Science, Philosophy, and Plan II Honors departments at the University of Texas at Austin. My old CMU resources can be found at the link.
I am interested in the development, improvement, and analysis of machine learning methods with a focus on systems that can aid in the automatic analysis of natural language as components of adaptive systems or information retrieval systems. My current focus is on contextual and personalized search. I am also actively engaged in enriched information retrieval, active sampling and learning, hierarchical and large-scale classification, and human computation and preferences.
My past work has examined a variety of areas — primarily ensemble methods, calibrating classifiers, search query classification and characterization, and redundancy and diversity, but also extending to transfer learning, machine translation, recommender systems, and knowledge bases. In addition to my research, I engage in a variety of professional service activities for the machine learning, data mining, and information retrieval communities.
While at Microsoft Research, I have been lucky enough to work with a variety of great interns — either as primary mentor or in broader collaborations.

One of the unseen fall outs from the recession is its impact on serving in the armed forces. Since the stock market collapsed and the unemployment rate has risen, the United States military have witnessed a rather significant rise in re-enlistments as men and women flock to the military in the absence of job opportunities. Since the 2009 fiscal year, there have been 427 re-enlistments in the Washington National Guard, and many who are not re-enlisting, are planning to become a full fledged member of the regular army. Sergeant Jerry Frazier, who handles retention for a brigade, notes: "when we first deployed,(last fall) a lot of them didn't want to re-enlist… but a few months later, a lot of those same guys came back up to me and said they were worried a bout the economy, about paying bills." Soldiers are being paid extra money to supplement the GI Bill.
There is little question the surge in enlistments stems from the current economic situation in which jobs are being lost and young people are frightened about their futures. Some recruiters are encountering soldiers who want to be deployed to Iraq because it will bring extra money. Is there something wrong when we must entice young men and women to serve their country because it is the only hope for those who lack money or jobs? Is there something wrong with this picture?

Merging ST threads
From HaskellWiki
Revision as of 01:12, 8 October 2006 by DonStewart (Talk | contribs)
In the thread starting at http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/haskell/2004-January/013330.html there is a discussion about temporarily combining two independent monadic state threads. The problem is this: we have a computation that works with one bit of state, say a
, and another that works with another bit of state, say an
, and we want to make one that works with both the
and the
simultaneously for a while, and then go back to computations working on them individually. So what we want is, given
computations that work with the
and the
respectively, an
computation that works with the pair
, and then computations
that work with the individual states, to construct the combined computation that does
, then
, then
One solution is to define the individual computations using the StateT monad transformer, and then stack the two monad transformers on top of each other to make the combined one. This is a bit nasty and asymmetric, requiring one computation to be "lifted":
whole = do start1 lift start2 intermediate end1 lift end2
Another option is to work with the normal State monad, and to define operations on this monad that "lifts" the state into a tuple:
This removes the asymmetry, but isn't really any nicer otherwise. However, what would be neat is if we could do this with ST threads too. ST is the extension present in at least GHC and Hugs that has an imperative implementation, and makes clever use of a
embedState1 :: State s a -> State (s,t) a embedState2 :: State t a -> State (s,t) a embedState1 (State f) = State (\(s,t) -> let (s',a)=f s in ((s',t),a)) embedState2 (State f) = State (\(s,t) -> let (t',a)=f s in ((s,t'),a)) whole = do embedState1 start1 embedState2 start2 intermediate embedState1 end1 embedState2 end2
in a type to guarantee purity.
The key point is the operation
Which guarantees that state variables (
runST :: (forall s . ST s a) -> a
etc) cannot "escape" from one state thread to another.
If we want to do the above with then ST, then we probably want operations like this:
Of course, we won't be able to run values of type
embedST1 :: ST s a -> ST (s,t) a embedST2 :: ST t a -> ST (s,t) a
, since they violate the
ST (s,t) a
. So we need some way to get rid of the tuple:
forall}}} restriction on <hask>runST
finishST1 :: (forall s . ST (s,t) a) -> ST t a finishST2 :: (forall t . ST (s,t) a) -> ST s a
Does this make sense? Is it safe? I doubt it's very useful, but I think it's probably implementable with a bit of hacking inside the implementation of ST.

Malcolm Gladwell Test Has Japan Turning Chinese: William PesekWilliam Pesek
Jan. 4 (Bloomberg) -- If you want to silence a room filled with Japanese politicians, suggest they should learn from China.
The conventional wisdom favors the flip side of this dynamic: China should be studying Japan's playbook. Japan, after all, is an example of both what China needs to do (create a vibrant domestic economy and high living standards) and what it mustn't (slide into bad-loan crises and deflation).
Yet I have one word for Japanese policy makers who dismiss the idea they should heed China's example: Shenzhen.
For two decades now, economists have been urging Tokyo to create a special-enterprise zone or two. The idea is to have a laboratory where officials could try drastic alternatives to Japan's rigid, bureaucratic and change-resistant model -- a controlled environment in which the nationwide laws and norms that thwart economic energy could be repealed.
Southern China features such a place. In 1980, Deng Xiaoping started China's first special-economic zone in a coastal village that was nothing to look at. Today, Shenzhen is a teeming collage of huge skyscrapers, thriving industrial parks, 10 million people, one of the world's busiest ports, and some of the biggest manufacturing and outsourcing industries anywhere.
China's Example
It's the center of Chinese experimentation. There, officials can test what works and what doesn't: which corporate tax rates offer the best balance of attracting foreign investment while filling government coffers in Beijing, which labor standards make the most sense, which corporate-governance standards are most advantageous, which immigration procedures are optimal, which regulations stay or go.
China's experience inspired nations as disparate as Angola, Bangladesh, Brazil, Iran, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Poland, Russia and even North Korea to erect special economic regions. India, too. You can argue that India's software industry is such an entity -- one immune enough from New Delhi's dysfunction to create the growth and jobs India so badly needs.
Why not Japan? Junichiro Koizumi, prime minister from 2001 to 2006, broached the issue, but his vision was never effectively implemented. Of all the growth-revitalizing strategies employed by Tokyo, the most favored ones are debt and concrete -- debt to finance white-elephant public-works projects, concrete to build them. Japan is too much about saving unproductive jobs, not creating innovative new ones.
What Japan never tried is a dose of supply-side economics. No, this column isn't advocating a sudden Japanese embrace of the ideologies of Ayn Rand and Ronald Reagan. Yet Japan has gotten as far it can with financial socialism. Even after more than two decades of start-and-stop growth, Japan's focus is on preserving its way of life, not adjusting to the demands of globalization and Chinese competition. The big debates in Tokyo are over raising taxes and joining free-trade deals.
Some fresh thinking is in order, and Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami provided a perfect opportunity. There are many cities the government could declare as economic-policy labs: Fukuoka, Kobe, Nagasaki, Sapporo, Yokohama. The devastated Northeastern Tohoku region is a better choice.
"Tohoku can be to Japan what Shenzhen was to China," says Jeff Kingston, head of the Asian Studies program at Temple University's Tokyo campus.
Kingston's favored regime: Allow large-scale deregulation, cut red tape that frustrates businesses, offer 10-year tax holidays for new investments and incentives for employers generating full-time jobs, apply a corporate tax rate in the neighborhood of 11 percent, suspend gasoline taxes, subsidize electricity, eliminate sales taxes, and structure a variety of enticements to attract capital into renewable-energy research and production.
Tax Holiday
Martin Schulz, a senior economist at Fujitsu Research Institute in Tokyo, would take things a step further and simply make Tohoku corporate-tax free. That, he argues, would get young people and families into a region that was dying demographically even before the earth shook and the waters rose.
All this would get Japan closer to passing the Malcolm Gladwell test. Days after the earthquake that triggered the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl, the author of "The Tipping Point" told Bloomberg: "The only time you can get things done is in moments of genuine crisis and catastrophes -- there's a small opportunity to do an extraordinary amount. Japan, a country whose politics were in deadlock and sluggish for many, many years, I hope they can seize this moment and accomplish a lot."
Gladwell's view that a crisis is a terrible thing to waste arguably dovetails with the so-called shock doctrine advocated decades earlier by Nobel laureate Milton Friedman. I haven't spoken with a single Japanese who believes the government achieved much of anything in 2011, never mind turning disaster into an opportunity. Japan must do better in 2012.
China has much to learn from Japan. From the ashes of World War II, it created a safe, prosperous, universally literate, environmentally stable and reasonably egalitarian nation. Yet Japan has long since lost the vibrancy and policy innovation that propelled it to today's heights.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's first act of 2012 should be to create a Japanese Shenzhen. It would be a much-needed recognition that if Japan can't beat China, it can at least learn a thing or two from Asia's economic upstart.

JB Unicorn 14mm Anti-clockwise Airsoft Mock Suppressor.(Long)
15 Customer Reviews
by Doug C. on 01/29/2010
"Got this silencer today to cover the extended inner barrel on my CM.035. It is absolutely beautiful. JBU 8.25in SUPPRESSOR is printed on the silencer. Fits standard 14mm CCW or Anti-Clockwise threads just fine, and looks great on an AK-74UN. Thanks Evike and JBU!
by Chris S. on 09/19/2009
"JBU makes great silencers, and the guy below who said it doesnt work is wrong cussilencers properly packed with foam do quiet the shot quite a bit.
good silencer good tight fitting threads wont have problems with clone threaded barrel with this one.
good silencer good tight fitting threads wont have problems with clone threaded barrel with this one.
by william l. on 09/04/2009
"hi i was wondering if this would fit on a dpms m4 s-system? been looking at one and this seems to be the perfect silencer for it but idk if the threads are right
by Pat C. on 01/11/2009
"excellent suppressor, looks, feels, threads, everything is great about this. lightweight so doesn't add weight to a gun to make it more of a pain to maneuver besides the extra 8.25 inches. Awesome on a m16 or m4 but even better on a type 96 making the gun overall about 53 inches long. thats why i make the maneuverability comment.

by Nathan T. on 11/30/2008
"Ok people... this is will fit any 14mm negative threaded gun... so if you look around on the info for the the gun, and it says 14mm negative threads... buy this
by Heather M. on 11/29/2008
"Will this fit an MP5 A5 RAS?If someone could let me know that would be great.
by greg g. on 10/15/2008
"just puit this on my ics cqb m4 pistol..it just looks badazzz first off with it. got a new tight bore too(301mm) could go longer maybe even 363mm. I didnt think it would actually suppress any sound but the sound of my piston is noticeably less noisy and makes a neat popping sound.also the end screws off if you want a tracer unit . its only 40 bucks so i say buy it if you need a barrel extension and dont have a 100 bucks to drop. 5/5
by Chris Y. on 10/13/2008
"In response to Nathan's review. Firearms supressors actually don't have any foam in them, they either have a set of coils on the inside and an expansion chamber or they just have an expansion chamber with many chambers in them. I bought this too but I'm new to airsoft and didn't know that airsoft guns used foam to suppress the sound. It doesn't do a good job but it makes your gun more accurate for some reason. If you like Nathan, you do something I did, I took a firearm suppressor and took out the expansion chamber (cause you cant have a suppressor in California) and used the airsoft foam in it. The coils at the end of the suppressor actaully make a cool echoing zzzziiiiing! sound as each BB passes through it.
by Nathan J. on 10/03/2008
"This is a great suppressor for the G36C. I had to get a little extender to get it to fit with the hand guard, but it was well worth it. This silencer, however, does not have a bass-y pop. It is more high pitched because the inside of it is hollow. It still sounds really cool and unique though. When I was at evike, I checked out the G&P Zombie Killer suppressor and it had some kind of foam in it. It's not the real foam used in real silencers but it should still give the suppressor a deeper pop to it.
by Dallas F. on 09/12/2008
"Wow do you guys even look at the description. This silencer is 8.25 inches long not 6 and certainly not 14mm 14 mm is like your thumb nail retards. As for the actual silencer there isn't much to say it has some weight to it. It works good if you are trying to extend your inner barrel while still looking good. Not much else to say good silencer
by Blake J. on 07/29/2008
"If u want a suppressor that increases distance this works. I have an A&K CQB M4A1 model gun and it shoots farther now. This is a good buy.
by Jordan L. on 04/08/2010
"Very awesome looking silencer. It makes my mod5 look very real. My friends comment on how I have the best looking gun in the group. The one con however is it scratches REAL easy. I would suggest getting a different silencer because since silencers are mainly just for looks you should at least get one that doesnt scratch just by touching a bush.
by Rudy T. on 04/17/2009
"It's decent for the price. I like the way it looks on my KWA M16. Some pros are that it's really light, clean finish, and its really long. The only thing i didn't like about it is, if you have an inner barrel that runs into this suppressor, then it makes a "whommpa" sound. But other than that, its a really cool suppressor.
by austin p. on 10/12/2008
"i have an m4 with a standard barrel. If i buy this how long should i make my inner barrel?

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by MotownPride, Oct 30, 2008.
BEWARE!!! Debt Team coming to collect past due bills ...when my guys finally shed their crutches
heh that's funny because boozer is injured for me in the keeper league :( you were up 5-4 too until kenyon martin got a couple assists and blocks for me to save it
Dre, you can't play that card cos I have Jamal Crawford!!
Yeah but I would have got you on the boards though ....;) It's now been 5 days and Zach stiil hasn't suit up yet, so that is now four games of vacation for him...
Looks like I might get two guys back this week... (Manu and Richardson)
My team sucked big time this week, half of them injured and the rest performing below average. I can only hope that we play some other struggling teams the next couple of weeks to get back in the top 4.
I had Duhon dishing 22 assists in one night and still lost in the assists- category. Talk about struggeling. @Motown Smart move to bench Artest, he probably would have cost you the FG cat. I was happy to see he didn't find his shot but than I saw you didn't even play him.
Thank you sir. He is a chucker, no doubt.
You're in luck Dre...you get dead-last Debt Team this week
but Debt team won 7-2 last week (and I lost 7-2). I hope there'll be some surprises, caus this far you have 3 top teams and alot of middleclass teams. While looking at Hunter's roster, I still have trouble to find out how this team can be that dominant
I just got Deron & Fransisco Garcia back from injuries that held them out until the end of last week. I'm getting my first looks at how the full team will fare. Hog's team is over-loaded with some pretty good bigs...looks good to me.
Once I get my injured players back I will be back near the top of the standings like always. LOL... Hunter's team is tough he has 4 qualtity big men that's why his team is so strong. With me missing Boozer, Redd and Mobley and playing less games last week I was happy not to get my doors blown off and only lose 3-6 to Hunter.
Yeah but my team is playing like the last place team..:yukpuke: Jameer Nelson out for two weeks and now it appears that T-MAC will be out three weeks. I can't release them so I have to hold their spots until they return Maybe I need to trade to get all of my last years championship players back together on one team. (did someone say keeper??) I already have Lebron, TMac, Farmar and Randolph, maybe I need to see about getting R. Jefferson, Kaman and Baron back from that squad.....naw then I would have three current Clippers on my team and that can't bode right for an NBA or fantasy teams
i think i had a pretty good strategy going into the draft and was actually happy with not having a top-5 pick in the first round, and it allowed me to have a cohesive strategy. i concentrated on bigs and securing FG%, REB, BLK, which has also helped the TO category since those guys aren't handling the ball that much (same thing with having mostly SG-type players). then i have a few guys who can get hot (terry, jr smith, kirilenko) in a few categories once or twice a week to help push me over the edge. i also lucked out getting przybilla and kenyon martin so late in the draft and they've been playing well. carter hasn't lost a whole lot even with chauncey in denver now. and then i took a chance on odom and ak47 when the experts were saying steer clear, and the gamble paid off. but hey, it's very early in the season. the guys i took chances on could suck. people could get injured. etc.
ok, I hereby admit it, trading Chris Bosh for Marion was the worst move I could have made. I'm worse in scoring and rebounding and Marion doesn't give me the steals, 3s and blocks I expected. He's definetely on his way down and he lacks consistency. His times as a fantasy monster seem to be over while Boch looks like he's really going to remain a 26+ppg scorer.
19, 11, 16, 12, 21, 15, 13, 12, 12, 7, 11 David Lee's rebounding numbers the last 11 games. Numbers to make you salivate if you need boards. He's the 4th best rebounder in the game and moving up now that he's getting the minutes. I think he is ranked around 60 something overall. Problem is I lose rebounding by a mile every week because he gets no help on my team. He's essentially wasted on my team although he does put up points. Make me an offer for a comparable player that helps me improve significantly in assists and steals. Right now I am one of the better crappy teams (9th of 14), so I may as well try to move up to being a mediocre team. If you can't make a fair offer please don't make one at all. Normally, I would pm someone for a player I am interested in, but I'm just not paying all that much attention and while I normally trade for a guy I want, this time I just want the stats.
You offered Bosh to me in 3 different (silly) combo proposals for Dho. You obviously had a hard-on for Bosh. And now...you're complaining about getting rid of him???
Oh yeah, I do :D I was really thinking Bosh would get back to his usual form of 22ppg plus 9 rebs but he seems to remain as good as he was. I could have gotten a better player than Marion who isn't his old self. But I don't get the point of my offers to you for DHo being silly, I think the way Bosh plays he equals DHo, so what's your point?
I wouldnt exactly call Marion a bust yet. He is still the 27th ranked fantasy player and its only early. But I had noticed his game is declining. If you look at his stats since his career year in 05-06 his PPG has dropped each season. His rebounds, steal and blocks have remained quite consistent though and they should continue to do so. But the thing that bothered me a little was his 3pt shooting. Since his trade to the Heat his 3pt shot has all but disappeared, and that was what gave him that special all-round status. So the points and the 3's were the main things that made it ok for me to trade him. I also noticed that his age might be starting to catch up with him. He's always been the iron man, but towards the end of last year he started picking up little niggling injuries; injuries that tend to happen as you get older - hamstrings, groin injuries etc. But its not like Bosh is a warrior himself. He has missed 40 games over the past 3 seasons and that was a definite concern. But I felt like I needed a big scorer and his % are so good and he shoots big volumes that he can help me in those categories where Marion couldnt. When its all said and done I'm guessing these 2 guys end up quite close to each other in the rankings. It all depends on what your needs are. And its also not like Marion was taken with a typically high pick. He was drafted at 10 (by the CPU i might add, i missed the start of the draft), so at the time that was a good value pick, but i think his top 3 days are over.
Motown if my team falls to you this week, it will because I left TMAC on the bench tonight and played some scrub named Anthony Morrow in his place. I had a tip that Tmac might play but neglected to move him, because I was to busy watching the Pistons. Oh by the way, two other two scrubs didn't show up either, my two Dominguez Hills stars Tay P and Tyson C who didn't even suit up T-Mac was one assist short of a triple double, going 24-10-9. with my luck, he won't play tomorrow..
Separate names with a comma.

Getting the second complete game of the season from junior Garrett Cortright and producing 21 baserunners, the Canisius baseball team defeated Iona College 5-2 at City Park on Thursday afternoon. Canisius improves to 17-7 overall and 2-2 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Senior Christian Segar was 4-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored and three stolen bases. Freshman Brett Siddall went 2-for-5 while senior Chris Gruarin was 2-for-3 with a run scored Junior Jimmy Luppens was 1-for-3 with two walks and two RBI and sophomore Jesse Puscheck drew two walks.
Iona (3-21, 0-4 MAAC) took the lead by scoring a run in the bottom of the first, and the Griffs tied the game in the top of the third. Canisius loaded the bases for the second time on the day and after leaving the bases loaded to end the first. Segar led off with a single and walks to Luppens and Gruarin with no outs loaded the bases. Canisius could only score one run as an RBI groundout from senior Brooklyn Foster knotted the score at 1-1.
The Gaels reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the inning before the Griffs took their first lead of the day by scoring two runs in the top of the fifth. Segar led off with a single and scored on an RBI double from Luppens. After a single from Gruarin put runners at the corners, Luppens was thrown out at the plate on a grounder back to the pitcher from Foster. Siddall singled to load the bases and Puscheck scored Gruarin on a sacrifice fly.
The Griffs added two insurance runs in the eighth, loading the bases for the third time in the game. Junior Jose Torralba led off with a single and stole second base. Junior Ronnie Bernick worked a walk and a passed ball allowed Torralba to advance to third base. A walk to Krische loaded the bases, with an infield single from Segar scoring Torralba. An RBI groundout from Luppens put the Griffs ahead 5-2.
That would be more than enough support for Cortright, who recorded 13 ground-ball outs on the day. The junior threw his second complete game of the season, allowing two runs on seven hits, walking one and striking out three. Cortright (6-1) only allowed two baserunners during the final six innings and retired 13 consecutive Iona batters at one point.
Canisius and Iona will conclude the three-game series on Friday, with first pitch for the doubleheader in New Rochelle set for noon.
Game Notes: The leadoff batter reached seven times in the game after reaching five times in the previous four games combined… The Griffs had double-digit hits for the 11th time in the last 16 games… Canisius had seven steals in a game for the third time this season. Cortright allowed two or fewer earned runs for the eighth time in his last nine starts… Segar has 10 hits in his last three starts… Krische extended his hitting streak to seven games and is 5-for-12 in MAAC play… Canisius left 13 runners on base, the third straight game the Griffs have left double-digit runners on base… The nine walks drawn by the Canisius offense match a season high (March 8 at Longwood). The Griffs have worked 20 walks in the last three games.

(Click here if you want to see some of the pages of the new illustrations)
by Claude M. Steiner
happy people called Tim and Maggie with their two children, John and Lucy. To understand how happy
they were you have to understand how things were in
those days.
Back to Home Page?
You see in those happy days everyone was given a
small, soft Fuzzy Bag when born. Any time a person reached into this bag they
were able to pull out a Warm Fuzzy. Warm Fuzzies were very much in demand
because whenever someone was given a Warm Fuzzy it made them feel warm and fuzzy
all over.
In those days it was very easy to get Warm Fuzzies.
were always asking each other for Warm Fuzzies, and since they were always given
freely, getting enough of them was never a problem. There were always plenty to
go around, and so everyone was happy and felt warm and fuzzy most of the time.
day a bad witch who made salves and potions for sick people became angry because
everyone was so happy and feeling good and no one was buying potions and salves.
here, Tim, look at all the Fuzzies that Maggie is giving to Lucy. You know, if
she keeps it up she is going to run out and then there won't be any left for
was astonished. He turned to the witch and asked, "Do you mean to tell me
that there isn't a Warm Fuzzy in our bag every time we reach into it?".
the witch answered, "No, absolutely not, and once you run out, that's it.
You don't have any more."
took this to heart and began to notice every time Maggie gave away a Warm Fuzzy.
He got very worried because he liked Maggie's Warm Fuzzies very much and did not
want to give them up. He certainly did not think it was right for Maggie to be
spending all her Warm Fuzzies on the children and other people.
began to complain or sulk when he saw Maggie giving Warm Fuzzies to somebody
else, and because Maggie loved him very much, she stopped giving Warm Fuzzies to
other people as often, and reserved most of them for him.
children watched this and soon began to get the idea that it was wrong to give
Warm Fuzzies any time you were asked or felt like it. They too became
very careful. They would watch their parents closely and whenever they felt that
one of their parents was giving too many Fuzzies to others, they felt jealous
and complained and sometimes even had a tantrum. And even though they found a
Warm Fuzzy every time they reached into their bag they began to feel guilty
whenever they gave them away so they reached in less and less and became more
and more stingy with them.
the witch, people used to gather in groups of three, four or five, never caring
too much who was giving Warm Fuzzies to whom. After the coming of the witch,
people began to pair off and to reserve all their Warm Fuzzies for each other,
exclusively. When people forgot to be careful and gave a Warm Fuzzy to just
anybody they worried because they knew that somebody would probably resent
sharing their Warm Fuzzies.
began to give less and less Warm Fuzzies, and felt less warm and less fuzzy.
They began to shrivel up and, occasionally, people would even die from lack of
Warm Fuzzies.
the situation was getting very serious indeed. The bad witch who had been
watching all of this didn't really want the people to die (since dead people
couldn't buy his salves and potions), so a new plan was devised.
was given, free of charge, a bag that was very similar to the Fuzzy Bag except
that this one was cold while the Fuzzy Bag was warm. Inside of the witch's bag
were Cold Pricklies. These Cold Pricklies did not make people feel warm and
fuzzy; in fact they made them feel cold and prickly instead. But the Cold
Pricklies were better than nothing and they did prevent peoples' backs from
shriveling up.
from then on, when somebody asked for a Warm Fuzzy, people who were worried
about depleting their supply would say, "I can't give you a Warm Fuzzy, but
would you like a Cold Prickly instead?"
two people would walk up to each other, thinking they maybe they could get a
Warm Fuzzy this time, but one of them would change his mind and they would wind
up giving each other Cold Pricklies instead. So, the end result was that people
were not dying anymore but a lot of people were very unhappy and feeling very
cold and prickly indeed.
situation got very complicated since the coming of the witch because there were
fewer and fewer Warm Fuzzies around and Warm Fuzzies which used to be free as
air, became extremely valuable.
caused people to do all sorts of things in order to get Warm Fuzzies. People who
could not find a generous partner had to buy their Warm Fuzzies and had to work
long hours to earn the money.
people became "popular" and got a lot of Warm Fuzzies without having
to give any back. These people
would then sell their Warm Fuzzies to people who were "unpopular" and
needed them to feel that life was worth living.
thing which happened was that some people would take Cold Pricklies--which were
everywhere and freely available-and coated them white and fluffy so that they
almost looked like Warm Fuzzies. These fake Warm Fuzzies were really Plastic
Fuzzies, and they caused additional problems.
instance, two or more people would get together and freely give each other
Plastic Fuzzies. They expected to feel good, but they came away feeling bad
instead. People got very confused never realizing that their cold, prickly
feelings were because they had been given a lot of Plastic Fuzzies.
the situation was very, very dismal and it all started because of the coming of
the witch who made people believe that some day, when least expected, they might
reach into their Warm Fuzzy Bag and find no more.
long ago, a young woman with big hips came to this unhappy land.
made the grownups very worried. To protect the children from depleting their
supplies of Warm Fuzzies they passed a law.
of now its hard to say what will happen. Will the grownups
laws stop the recklessness of the children?
the grownups going to join with the Hip Woman and the children in taking a
chance that there will always be as many Warm Fuzzies as needed?
they remember the days their children are trying to bring back when Warm Fuzzies
were abundant because people gave them away freely ?
struggle spread all over the land and is probably going on right were you live.
If you want to, and I hope you do, you can join by freely giving and asking for
Warm Fuzzies and being as loving and healthy as you can.

Crews aboard an anti-whaling protest ship in the Southern Ocean have escaped injury but are struggling to mend "significant damage" to their vessel after it was rammed by Japanese whalers. Two protest ships belonging to anti-whaling organisation Sea Shepherd were hit by Japanese whale-processing factory ship, Nisshin Maru. The boats, Steve Irwin and Bob Barker, have been following the vessel in the Southern Ocean to try to prevent the slaughter of whales.

Ford C-Max Recall 13V085000
The Left Rear Child Safety Lock May Not Work Properly
Certain 2013 Ford models are being recalled because the child lock for the left rear door may not function as expected. As a result, the door could open unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified beginning March 25, 2013. If the left rear door latch is not functioning correctly, or you don't received recall notification and you feel you should have, please contact your Ford dealer. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call. The Ford recall number is 13S02.
The left rear door lock assembly was not manufactured correctly and as a result, the child lock may not engage properly. When the child lock is not engaged, the door can be opened from the inside, increasing the risk of injury to an unrestrained child. Dealers will inspect the the left rear door latch and replace it as necessary.
March 7, 2013
Ford is recalling certain model year 2013 Focus and C-Max vehicles built from November 16, 2012, through November 21, 2012; and model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured from November 14, 2012, through November 21, 2012. The left rear door child lock was built incorrectly. As a result, the child lock may not engage when the operator uses normal force to activate the child lock.
The operator may incorrectly believe the child lock is engaged. However, the door may be opened from the inside, increasing the risk of injury to an unrestrained child.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the affected rear door latches, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 25, 2013. Owners may contact Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
Ford's recall campaign number is 13S02. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Chamber, Mystic merchants resolve differences over food festivals
The Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Mystic Merchants, which had announced competing events this fall, are now instead working together, the two groups said Friday.
The merchants group will hold Mystic Eats on Cottrell Street on Sept. 6-8, and the chamber will hold the Taste of Mystic at its new location in Olde Mistick Village in June of 2015.
The chamber had announced in February that it would cancel the Taste, which attracts about 40,000 people on the weekend after Labor Day and has been held downtown for at least the past decade. The chamber cited logistical concerns as the issue.
When merchants heard this, they began planning Mystic Eats. But in March, the chamber reinstituted the Taste and signed a three-year contract to hold it in Olde Mistick Village outside the downtown. The prospect of two festivals the same weekend had incensed some merchants.
"Our mission is to enhance business and prosperity in our area," Tricia Walsh, chamber president, said in a statement Friday. "Both of our organizations share the same goals. We are all here to add to the quality of life of this area and promote Greater Mystic as a destination with much to see and do."

The world is becoming overrun with beauty subscriptions. They are everywhere – sending you tons of makeup, skincare and hair samples monthly, in hopes that you may fall in love with at least one if not all of the items and become a loyal purchaser. Though the playing field is well saturated, there is still one subscription service that seems to be edging out slightly from the rest, if you ask me, and it's Glossybox. Beauty lovers are quickly falling in love with this monthly subscription that features some of the best niche and luxury brands from all over the world, including Ole Henriksen, Illamasqua, Burberry, Wella and Koh Gen Do.
To begin the process, all members must fill out a beauty profile that helps Glossybox customize each month's box to your specific likes/dislikes and concerns. Once they have your preferences, all that is left to do is sit and wait for your delivery of all the sample, travel and occasionally full size goodies your beauty loving heart could desire. Recently I had the chance to try out a few of the glossyboxes and instantly fell in love with their selection of products. Here are a few of my standout favorite items from some recent Glossyboxes:
- Ole Henriksen Truth Serum – As one that was already a fan of this line, I was delighted to see this cult classic serum included. Packed with 5 kinds of Vitamin C and collagen, this is a vitamin cocktail for your face. Delish.
- Ofra Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow pencil – New to this brand, I never can turn down a brow product. And the fact that it works for any skin tone was a bonus. It matched perfectly to my hair color and lasted from morning till night. Happy brows = Happy me.
- Wella Enrich Moisturizing Treatment – My hair often has bouts of schizophrenia, where it wants to be oily one day and dry the next. So when I come across treatment product that is designed for all hair types, I am intrigued. And the intrigue turned to joy when my hair was left bouncy and sans frizz.
- Kryolan Made for Glossybox Lipstick in Glossybox Pink – I need another lipstick like I need a hole in my head, but surprisingly I adored this color. A perfect nude pink lip wearable with just about any makeup combination I put with it.
- Biolage Hair Oil – Normally just a wash and rinse kinda gal, I was excited to give my hair a little more TLC – and this oil was just the answer. Results were super soft and shiny!
- Missha BB Cream – As one of the original inventors of BB creams, this was a great addition to my already growing collection. The coverage was super light and gave my skin a flawless finish without any other foundation.
To join in on the fun, visit glossybox.com to choose from a 1 month, 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by MotownPride, Oct 5, 2012.
So is Darth still the most decorated fantasy champion in the forum?
I like how you used "decorated" there.
Oh Damnit! Why do I always gotta be in Laimbeer's division...talk about rivalries... Speaking of Lame *queer, I think he's probably won a few more trophies than me by now. *queer as in the sense off "odd". Like the way he dresses. Any other interpretation of the word is purely speculative in nature.
League is almost set. I opened up Wart's and Webz's spots. Webz will be taking a break this year due to commitments, but will return next year. He'll be missed as he is always a threat to win the championship. Wart was pretty inactive last year and I doubt he will return. This leaves two open slots. If Walter is still interested, one of them is his otherwise the spot will be filled based on: 1) previous experience in the advanced league 2) activity record 3) first come, first serve Thanks y'all! And remember to let me know if you have a desired matchup for "rivalry week" So far we have: Motown Prides vs Rancho Drebabys Laim Legends vs Mr. Green Genes (Darth)
Walter's in. One spot available...
I can't wait for rivalry week. Drath sucks. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.....
You Seem to forget... This is MY of year. YOUR guys don't get hot until the postseason. :'(
Teams finalized. Schedule updated to reflect rivalry week. Randomized draft order generated. Here we go! 1.Debt Team 2.Ballaholics 3.Mr. Green Genes 4.Urban Achievers 5.Bandwagoners 6.Sprockets 7.Rancho Drebabys 8.Arsenal London 9.Budivelnik 10.Rapid Wien Selkton B 11.Motown Prides 12.Laim Legends 13.Winless Hustlers 14.MotorCity PinkGators Draft 2 hours earlier at 6pm on Sunday, Oct 21st per the request.
I LOVE my division. Made up mostly with guys whose faces I always enjoy sticking in the snow! Mr. Green Genes is ready to have a reunion with Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit, and Captain Kangaroo! I I will be dropping some Ping Pong balls. on ALl of your heads! Yes, I intentionally spelled "Genes" wrong. MSU and Philly are in my blood. This promises to be challenging...
Ugh. Draft is changed to Oct 21st @3PM Pacific. There's no way I'll be able to make it. Time to get cranking on the pre-draft rankings. BTW, I'm assuming that if I'm not online -> autopick, correct?
Yes, autopick. Sorry, squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Okay By heart I know LeBron James, Dwyane WAde, bosh, nowiitzki, and I think Ray Allen still plays. Maxiiel, dont ask why) Pauo and mark gasol billups, rip, two Gordon's, villenuela...darko? Nash, Howard, Kobe, aaaand...that's about all. I don't remember anyone else in the league. But I still don't feel quite ready for the draft. Must be my OCD. Oh Carmelo. Okay.. Now I'm good to go!
Darth, I'm sure you'll do just fine. lol.
I'm going to really make sure Darth shows up to the draft. He will add a unique dimension to the entire process.
Don't forget to pre-rank Iverson, Marbury and Yao, in case you don't make the draft
Oh I remember those guys. They're really good. Thanks for the heads up. And I keep hearing Joe Dumards name. He is always good for points And free-throw percentage too! But I think people will reach for him because he is a piston. I'm waiting until the second round.
I'm going for all-rookie lineup, conceding the TO category. Davis, Drummond, Gilchrist, Beal, Waiters, Barnes, Rivers etc... Oh, and AK47 to mentor them boys.
Can't wait to get things kicked off...
same here!!!!!! Time to re-claim my title after having failed big time last year!
I want to draft like right now! lol!
Until I spoke with debt team Yesterday, I had no idea that we knew our draft order. I was mentioning that it would be nice to do something like that And surprise exclamation! I remembered the post but I remembered thinking that it was the Ivile Reese you listed. I never look at it closely. Duh! Anyhow I am really glad you did that. It really does help you strategize.

I pick up the MRI Baby Eagle .45 on Sunday. I haven't fired it yet but as I always do, I disassembled it when I got it home to check all moving parts and lube everything. Well, on this particular pistol, the firing pin is under significant spring pressure so when the pin retainer was removed, the pin shot out of the slide into my hand. I didn't have a chance to see it's proper orientation in the slide.
There's a V notch cut in the pin and I believe that that notch is used by the safety to disengage the firing pin when the safety is rotated to SAFE. This would require that the V notch be oriented up in the slide. I didn't try installing the firing pin with the V notch down as I don't believe that the safety would be able to rotate at all.
Could someone confirm that the V notch on the firing pin is in fact on the TOP of the firing pin when installed?

of ice. Deceptively reserved and flat,it lies 'in grandeur and in mass'beneath a sea of shifting now-dunes; dots of cyclamen-red and maroon on its clearly defined pseudo-podiamade of glass that will bend . . .
So begins An Octopus, a darkly sensuous poem by the late Pulitzer Prize winner Marianne Moore, one of the maritime musings that inspired Associate Professor Katy Schimert's latest body of work. Novels by Arthur C. Clark, Joseph Conrad, Herman Melville and Jules Verne also play into the work presented in Camouflage, Ink and Silence, her new solo show at UMass/Amherst's University Museum of Contemporary Art (UMCA). This week the Ceramics department head has been in residence there, taking part in the opening reception and panel discussions centered around art, science and science fiction. Other panelists on the roster include poet and art critic John Yau, ceramist Hosseinali Saheb Ekhtiari MFA 13 CR, art historian Walter Denny and marine biologist Roger T. Hanlon.
Schimert's new body of work – large-scale watercolors, along with ceramic and glass sculptures – speak directly to the viewer's subconscious fears and memories of the ocean. Her multicolored glass pieces (such as Lurking Octopus, pictured above) echo the transparency of her watercolor paintings, while her ceramic works "have a luster glaze surface that is both metallic and iridescent" – meaning "it can change color or look like glass, depending upon the lighting conditions," she explains.
In creating the work, Schimert was inspired by "the mercurial image of a giant octopus lurking below the moiré effect of the water's surface. I imagined the mythic creature as a hidden sculptural force of fierce emotion, beauty and intrigue. For humans, the deep sea is a silent tomb, and like most stretches of dark nature, it possesses a voice without words."
Also included in the exhibition are 19th-century marine paintings by Thomas Chambers, whose surface effects have drawn Schimert's eye since she first saw them as a child. "I have been experimenting with the relationship between surface patterning, which keeps the viewer's eye moving, and depth of field or perspective, which holds the eye in one place," she explains.
During Schimert's weeklong residency she has been acting as a catalyst for public engagement and discussion about the creative process, connecting with UMASS/Amherst's thriving academic and arts communities through her work and a series of special events. For instance, as part of a comparative literature seminar, she teamed up with UMASS Senior Lecturer Christopher Couch to introduce screenings of classic science fiction films such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon, the 1902 George Méliès silent film brought to light again recently through the Caldecott Medal-winning book The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick 88 IL and Hugo, the movie Martin Scorsese made based on it).
Schimert's work has previously been the focus of solo exhibitions at the Berkeley [CA] Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and the Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago. She has also shown work at Pinakothek der Moderne (Munich, Germany), the Aspen Art Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Before joining RISD's faculty in 2011, she taught sculpture at Yale University, the University of California/Santa Barbara, New York University and Harvard.
Camouflage, Ink and Silence continues through May 4 at UMCA. A fully illustrated catalogue (with an essay by Yau) accompanies the exhibition.

New Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Resources from HHS
Jun 03, 2011
On June 1, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) released the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) for $224 million in Fiscal Year 2011 (FY 2011) as part of the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV). The FOA seeks to accomplish two goals, as outlined in the document: "(1) To award funds to states and jurisdictions that demonstrate interest and capacity to expand and/or enhance high-quality, evidence-based home visiting programs serving vulnerable families, which are embedded in comprehensive, high-quality early childhood systems and (2) support states and jurisdictions that may be taking initial steps toward building high-quality, evidence-based home visiting programs that are part of a comprehensive early childhood system."
The FOA explains that $125 million of the $224 million FY 2011 MIECHV allotment will be awarded through formula grants to states with no state receiving less than 120 percent of their FY 2010 allotment (estimated FY 2011 formula grants to states can be found in appendix B of the FOA). Additional information about the formula grants will be released in a companion FOA at a later date.
The other $99 million dollars will be distributed as competitive grants. The FOA provides two possible funding opportunities under the competitive funds: expansion grants and development grants. Expansion grants recognize states and jurisdictions that have already made significant progress toward implementing a high-quality home visiting program as part of a comprehensive, high-quality early childhood system. States can apply for expansion grants to expand the scale or scope of their current home visiting programs and/or enhance or improve existing programs. $66 million of the competitive funding will be awarded in FY 2011 to 7-10, four-year grantees. States can compete to receive between $6.6 million and $9.43 million annually.
Development grants are for states and jurisdictions that currently have modest home visiting programs and want to build on existing efforts. $33 million of the competitive funding will be awarded in FY 2011 for 10-12 two-year grants. The total development grant award will range between $2.75 million and $3.3 million per year.
States must follow the application guidelines outlined in the FOA. Applications are due July 1. A more detailed CLASP analysis of the recently released FOA is forthcoming.
In addition to the FOA, HHS has released the much anticipated Evidence-Based Models Crosswalk to Benchmarks. According to HHS, "the crosswalk is a resource designed to provide information on the measurement tools evidence-based models utilize and their alignment with the MIECHV program's constructs under each benchmark area." This document is the result of requests from grantees to help them better determine which measurement tools are most appropriate for the communities they will serve with MIECHV dollars. Grantees can utilize the crosswalk as they complete their updated state plans which are due on June 8.

how ironic,but sadly how true.
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever, to 46 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals."
Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.
Thus endith today's lesson.
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand
Ha ha.. very nice.. but sadly so true!
Gawd, that's so simple. Why oh why don't people get it?
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
mostly illegal aliens soaking up them food stamps.
if your a citizen they run your SSN and if you got ANYTHING AT ALL you can't get squat!
now an illegal alien can come in the office and get $2,000 in stamps a month no questions asked with a whole pocket full of cash and a van lode of smack their selling on the side-- i don't think their broke--
but that guy that just lost his job and is paying down huge medical bills can't hardly get squat from the same program that he has paid into for decades--

I came up with this to attach my chest lights and I thought that it could be a useful idea for others as well.
I am using TK409 lights and the leads that stick through the board seems like they could get hung on or snag the vest. Plus I wanted to make it in a way that I could take them out and still make it neat.
I used styrene tubing, styrene strips and GOOP to make the surrounding base and a piece of Sintra for the backer. Two holes were drilled into the backer to allow for clearance of the one electronic component and the wires to come through.
Screws were then screwed into the tubes (they technically tapped the styrene tubes when just screwed in by hand).
I will paint the styrene US Med Green or Black to make it blend in better.
PS. Pay no attention to the large bolt GOOP'd to the back of the armor plate. This is what I did to give me something to hold onto while painting the front of the plate.

Download Web applications are inherently insecure due to vulnerabilities that are hard to patch and easy to exploit. Most businesses rely on network security solutions to keep hackers at bay. While network security solutions like next generation firewalls are essential for network protection, they do not provide the accuracy, the granularity or the breadth of protection required to stop all Web attacks. Today's hackers know very well how to bypass traditional defenses leaving high-value applications and data assets exposed.

Wendall from Wisconsin writes:
I will be buying a new computer in the next few months. Interested in the all-in-one desktops, (computer and monitor) other than price is there any down side to them? I have dial-up and basically just read email & bank online. Thank you for any insight!
The All-In-One computers, where there is no separate tower the parts are integrated into the monitor, definitely have some significant advantages. You save a lot of space, cables are easier to manage, you can move the entire computer easily and the overall style of the unit is attractive. So what possible downsides are there?
Upgradeable: Because the units are sealed into the monitor your upgrade options are limited. Most all-in-ones do not have any PCI or PCIe slots for upgrade cards or open drive bays for extra hard drives.
Serviceability: The computers are manufactured to reduce the size of components. They use specialized laptop components instead of regular desktop components. If one goes bad, it can cost more to replace due to increased part cost and increased labor to disassemble the unit.
Reliability: Since the entire computer is contained in one shell with the monitor and power supply, you run into decreased reliability versus a conventional desktop. That isn't to say these units aren't reliable and can last a very long time, it's just that if the monitor fails you can't replace just the monitor like a traditional desktop.
Price: Style doesn't come cheap and due to the compact construction and smaller parts needed the price you'll pay is usually higher then a traditional tower computer.
So should you buy one? That question really comes down to what style you want, what price you'll pay and what risks your willing to accept. The above listed downsides may seem doom and gloom but if you want a more compact all-in-one unit the trade-offs may be worth it.
If style and portability are major concerns, you may also want to consider a Windows 8 tablet or convertible device. The Microsoft Surface Pro [1] or the Lenovo Thinkpad Twist [2] which functions as both a tablet and a traditional laptop computer and can connect to external monitors when you want to dock it for a larger screen.
P.S. Don't forget to pay attention to where you buy the computer. Some wholesale clubs like Costco offer a free 2nd year of support on any computer while other companies may charge extra.

I spent most of yesterday at the Star Wars Exhibition in London, no prizes for guessing what i spent the first couple of hours photographing;)
The Boba mannequin is situated in a dark room with blackout curtains, and lit by only a couple of small spotlights. The back of the mannequin is in complete darkeness. Even though the jet pack was hidden in the darkness I did take a few pictures anyway, i just pointed the camera towards the general area with the flash on.
I thought the decals on this jet pack were quite odd. Also note the two small raised rectangles on picture three, just above the decals.

I have always worn glasses and I have always, seems like, shot and loved it. I had made it a medium priority to wear protective eyewear while at the range and relying on standard fare while on the job...Until this year!
I had cataract surgery with lens replacements last fall and then got new glasses which gave me much more freedom,sespecially while shooting, than ever because my eyes were now both 20/20 and I only needed glasses when reading or aiming a weapon.
Then in Novemeber I developed a detached retina in my right, dominant, eye. No biggie the Doctor said. Famous last words.
After surgery for the detached retina things were blurry on the right side. Unable to see type blurry.
I have been to the opthalmologist every week since then and have had treatment upon treatment...had my eyelid sewn shut...worn bandage contacts and it has gotten no better. One month ago the doctor said that she can no longer reasonably promise that I will regain sight in my right eye. She said that my right eye is paralyzed for some reason. The pupil does not react to light nor does it focus at all. (I can read betwixt the lines and sounds like maybe a nerve was cut during surgery.).
I am not upset with the doctors and surgeons. They gave it their best efforts and don't have to worry about a lawsuit from me. But I am now a one-eyed person. I am rabidly protective of my left eye. If I could get a one inch thick polycarbonate helmet I would wear it 24/7. I can't afford to lose my last eye. And I'm having to learn non-dominant eye shooting habits again.
I had heard that folks who lost an eye became very protective of the one that remained. And it's true!
Take it from me...wear great eye protection while shooting. It isn't a 100% guarantee but your sight deserves to be protected.

ANZAC Pilgrims
Each year thousands of Australians and New Zealanders descend on Canakkale in Turkey on their way to Gallipoli. Since 1990 the number of visitors has increased as a new generation discover the Anzac legend. Tour companies and souvenir sellers have benefited from this growth of visitors to Anzac Cove. Attending the dawn service at Gallipoli is now a key event on the backpacker trail.
