'Newsweek' cover story: Obama's got to go
posted at 11:15 am on August 20, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Well, he's done it again. President Barack Obama has once made the cover of Newsweek. This time, however, it's different. The photo of him is one in which he appears to be walking away, his suit jacket slung over his shoulder with Sinatra-esque insouciance. The title of the cover story—"Hit the Road, Barack: Why We Need a New President"—is also a departure.
The analysis, which one guesses carries a disclaimer by the editorial staff somewhere inside the print edition (something to the effect that the views expressed herein are not those of thee editors), is by Niall Ferguson, a professor of history at Harvard and a senior research fellow at both Oxford and Stanford. The author gave viewers of the Sunday talk news circuit a preview of his lamentations over the Obama presidency, or more specifically its unfulfilled promises, on Sunday's Face the Nation.
Ferguson, who was an adviser to John McCain and freely admits as much in the article, professes sadness over the disconnect between Obama's "soaring oratory" and "cool, hard-to-ruffle temperament" in 2004 and the sobering reality four years later. "The question confronting the country" now, he writes, "is not who was the better candidate four years ago. It is whether the winner has delivered on his promises. And the sad truth is that he has not."
What follows is a laundry list of failures: the net loss of private-sector jobs, the addition of 3.6 million Americans to Social Security's disability roles (a way, Ferguson notes, of concealing unemployment realities), GDP growth that slowed to a 1.8% crawl in 2011, chronically high unemployment, a much-vaunted and equally despised health-care reform law, and (pièce de résistance) a $5 trillion increase to the national debt.
Ferguson commiserates with Newsweek readers (at those that are still paying attention) over the fact that half the U.S. population pays not a penny in taxes, a percentage matched by the number of households in which at least one member receives some type of government benefit.
All of this occurs in the first 700 words of the article. After that, Ferguson rolls up his sleeves and gets busy talking about America's rapidly diminishing role as a player on the world stage. He talks about how Obama failed to be proactive in planting the seeds of democracy in Iran when the chance came around, about the pass he has gotten from the liberal media over a 16% increase in civilian casualties last year from drone attacks.
There is more about Obama's failure to halve the deficit during his first term, as he promised. And Ferguson has kind words for Paul Ryan, whom he admits to liking and admires as "one of only a handful of politicians in Washington who is truly sincere about addressing this country's fiscal crisis."
The question is not whether Niall Ferguson knows what he's talking about. In his latest book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, he lays out his arguments meticulously. The question rather is who he is talking to in his Newsweek cover story. According to the latest scuttlebutt there are few undecided voters left in this election. Obama adherents have made up their minds, and when they read an article like Ferguson's, the more learned among them note that GOP ticket is unable to explain its position on the Lilly Ledbetter Act.

Right to Summon Police
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
A landlord may not prohibit or limit a tenant's right to summon police or other emergency assistance in response to family violence. In addition, the landlord may not impose any penalties, monetary or otherwise, on a tenant who summons such assistance. Any written provision in the lease that claims to modify these rights and duties of the tenant and landlord is void. If a landlord violates your rights under this law, you would be entitled to sue your landlord in court for one month's rent, actual damages, court costs, attorney's fees, and injunctive relief. You have two years from a violation within which to file a lawsuit for damages. A landlord should also not evict or threaten to evict a tenant or fail to renew a lease because the tenant has been a victim of crime, including the crime of domestic violence.

We have designed this program to allow students majoring in any field to pursue their specific interests as we travel along the Silk Road. We encourage students from all disciplines in the arts, humanities, social and physical sciences to apply.
In 2014 the program is designed to introduce students to China, past and present, through a 4-credit course introducing China and its Silk Road exchanges, and a 2-credit course exploring the connection between travel writing and cultural analysis, examining other Silk Road observers and becoming one of our own.
The program is also designed to offer unique opportunities for students across disciplines. For example, pre-Health students will have the opportunity to visit traditional Chinese and Uigher medical colleges, hospitals and pharmacies, and perhaps to shadow a physician or pharmacist for part of a day. Education students will have opportunities to visit schools in both villages and towns, and to meet college students and professors. Business students will have opportunities to explore the world's fastest growing economy, to meet business people from small-scale entrepreneurs to managers of multi-nationals or joint ventures. Some students may receive credit for BUSN 250 – International Business.
Students with particular interests should contact the program directors to discuss those interests so we can plan how best to provide opportunities to pursue them.

Storing Chemicals
General Guidelines
1. Do not store excessive quantities of chemicals in research laboratory. Purchase the minimum amount required and dispose of unneeded chemicals in a timely fashion.
2. Date bottles of chemicals when they are opened. Peroxidizable chemicals such as isopropyl ether should be tested periodically or discarded according to the time limits. Discard any chemical of dubious purity (by the usual waste disposal procedures) if it cannot be purified safely.
3. Store reagents on shelves or in cabinets. Store large bottles of chemicals on the lowest shelves of any chemical storage area. Do not allow bottles to extend over the edge of a shelf.
4. Do not store chemicals on benchtops. They are more readily knocked over and are unprotected from potential exposure to fire.
5. Hoods should not be used for chemical storage. Hood storage interferes with air flow in the hood, causes clutter, and increases the fuel load in the event of a hood fire. If small quantities of chemicals are stored in the hood, they should be placed on an elevated shelf.
6. No chemicals (either reagents or waste chemicals) should be stored on the floor. Floor storage presents a major safety hazard because bottles can break if knocked over or struck together.
7. Chemicals requiring refrigerated storage should be properly labeled and sealed to prevent escape of any vapors. Use only refrigerators designated for chemical storage. Flammable liquids MUST be stored only in explosion-safe refrigerators. Do not refrigerate chemicals unnecessarily.
8. Seal caps of open bottles of volatile chemicals using Parafilm. This will prevent odor problems and deterioration of air/moisture sensitive reagents.
9. Inspect storage areas periodically for damaged containers such as cracked bottles or caps or rusted cans. Replace loose or deteriorating labels.
Storage of Specific Classes of Chemicals
1. Provide separate storage areas for corrosive chemicals, solvents, oxidizing agents, pyrophoric materials, and air- or water-reactive materials.
2. Store acids separate from bases. Store ammonium hydroxide in a separate cabinet, preferably ventilated.
3. Store oxidizers, including oxidizing acids such as nitric and perchloric acids separate from oxidizable compounds such as acetic acid. Perchloric acid MUST be stored where it cannot contact organic material.
4. Store highly toxic chemicals in unbreakable secondary containers labeled with a description of the contents. Cyanides and sulfides MUST be kept safe from any contact with acids. Store cyanides in a closed cabinet, not in a location visible to passersby. Dispose of cyanides for which you have no current use.
5. Store pyrophoric materials separate from flammable materials, in a dry, inert atmosphere such as a nitrogen-filled desiccator or a glove box.
Solvent Storage
1. Solvents are classified by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by flash point (Fp) and boiling point (bp) as follows:
Flammable Liquid Class
Flash Point Range
Boiling Point
Class I
less than 110 F (38 C)
Class IA
less than 73 F (23 C)
less than 100 F (38 C)
Class IB
less than 73 F (23 C)
greater than 100 F (38 C)
Class IC
greater than 73 F (23 C)
less than 100 F (38 C)
Class IIA
greater than 100 F (38 C)
less than 140 F (60 C)
Class IIB
greater then 140 F (60 C)
less than 200 F (93 C)
Class IIIA
greater than 200 F (93 C)
Flash point is defined as the minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off vapor in sufficient concentration to form an ignitable mixture with air near the surface of the liquid. Many common solvents such as acetone, ethanol, and hexane are Class IB liquids. Ethyl ether and low-boiling petroleum ether are class IA liquids. Storage of flammable and combustible liquids is regulated by fire codes. The following storage procedures and regulations are taken largely from NFPA codes 45 and 30.
2. Store flammable and combustible liquids in approved flammable liquid storage cabinets. Such cabinets may be vented, but this is not required. If the cabinet is not vented, the vent openings should be sealed with the bungs supplied with the cabinet. The total volume of flammable and combustible liquids stored in the cabinet should not exceed the maximum quantities recommended by the manufacturer of the cabinet. No more than 3 cabinets may be located in a single fire area (laboratory).
3. Quantities of flammable liquids greater than one liter should be stored in approved safety cans. Glass containers no larger than 1 gallon (4 L) are acceptable if purity would be adversely affected by storage in metal.
4. The largest allowable laboratory container for a Class IA solvent is 1 gallon (4 L) for glass, plastic, or metal, or 2 gallon ( 8L) for approved safety cans. Five gallon (20 L) cans may not be stored or used anywhere in the department except in the stockroom solvent storage rooms. It is recommended that the Class IA solvents such as ethyl ether be purchased only in 1 gallon (4 L) or smaller containers. If you require a larger quantity, you should order more than one bottle of the 1 gallon size.
5. Solvents such as acetone and ethanol that are stored in plastic carboys for dispensing purposes should be positioned with the spigot over a sink, or over a tray large enough to contain the entire contents in the event of leakage from the spigot.

Bar attack indictment
An employee at The Page later told police O'Neill said he waited until nearly the end of closing time to hit Krantz because he didn't want to ruin his own night. Krantz reportedly spilled a drink on O'Neill earlier in the night, police said.Krantz went home after being hit, and was found dead in his Dover apartment hours later.
O'Neill was charged with first-degree assault and apprehended by state police in Rochester once he was identified as a suspect a few days later.Earlier this month, the state Medical Examiner's Office ruled that Krantz' death was a homicide. Krantz died from an acute epidural hematoma that occurred as a result of his skull being fractured, prosecutors said.Rockingham County Attorney James Reams announced the upgraded charges against O'Neill on Wednesday.

text: I finally took a look at the history of the Pistons franchise. I charted each year's winning percentage from 1948 to 2005. When it is in graph form, it is a little easier to see patterns. Here is what I noticed:There tends to be about 14 years between extreme crashes (1948 .367)(1965 .275)(1979 .195)(1993 .244)(2007 ???)We are currently on a streak of 5 consecutive seasons without a winning % setback, which is the most in Pistons' History.There have only been 2 periods in history where the team has had more than 2 consecutive winning seasons; the Bad Boys (9), and the current team (5).There appears to be natural mini-cycles that have a 7 year span. These mini cycles present a clear pattern, but have distinct abberation points that deviate from that pattern for certain years. 1997-98 is a year that stands out as worse than it should have been. 1974-75 and 1975-76 also look like they should have been better.So I looked at the history to see what made those years stand out, if anything. 1974-75: This was the year that Bill Davidson bought the team. Dave Bing and Don Adams held out at the beginning of the season. 1975-76: Pistons traded Bing for Kevin Porter, who then injured his knee and missed 3/4 of the season. The Pistons fired their coach and hired Herb Brown. 1997-98: Pistons traded Theo Ratliff, Aaron McKie, and Otis Thorpe (!!!). Coach Collins was fired, and we got Gentry. What can all this tell us about the next 5 years? To me, it looks like the natural cycle of team building is not on our side. We will need to find undiscovered talent, or have one of our prospects turn into another Tayshaun Prince, or else salaries will pile up, talent will leave, and we'll be in rebuilding mode. Of course, this is not revolutionary. We all know that is a danger. But seeing the graph makes me realize that Joe will have a battle on his hands to maintain. If he succeeds, it will be historic.

horizonal/vertical metal cutting saw
I have a Central Machinery Horizonal/Vertical Metal Cutting Saw, model 93762. It was originally purchased from Harbor Freight, and I picked it up used from someone needing some money. I noticed the pully with the worm gear and gear shaft seemed a little hard to turn by hand. I also noticed the blade seemed to pulsate as it was cutting.
After I pulled the cover off of the worm gear I noticed the gear oil was so think it was almost like putty. It was also very sticky like molasses. It says to replace it with 140 weight gear oil.
My question is about getting the old oil out. Can I use brake fluid or kerosene to clean it out? I don't see where it would be a problem, but I am concerned about any seals that the cleaners might destroy.
Has anyone ever dealt with this before? I could just clean it and hope for the best, but I thought would ask here before cleaning this tomorrow.
Thanks for the advice,
Clean it out
Don't damage the gasket on the cover if you do use a good gasket sealant Pulsating blade could be adjustments on the wheels etc or look to see if a bunch of teeth are missing on the blade. Hmm i use wheel bearing grease on my saw gear box and have never had a problem the worm travels slower than a wheel on a car using the same lube.
just change the lube dont tamper with the shafts etc
Change the blade learn how to adjust the rollers and guides etc,, TIP I always use the slowest cutting speed blades last a long time if you don't get in a hurry. try to always use blades that have 14 teeth per inch they last longer. Blades with ten teeth per inch need a wider cutting surface to last as long. I use strictly 14 teeth per inch blades. The same for saws all, and saber saws for metal. They outlast the others by a wide margin. You will break a few blades until you learn what you need. Have a great time very useful tool
The older HF saws were really good ones but unfortunately the "newer" ones (some as old as 5 years) have really crappy gears that tend to wear out in a hurry. Wash that gunk out with Kerosene, mineral spirits or diesel fuel and then closely examine the gears and the bushings where the worm gear ends go through the box. If the teeth are excessively worn or broken and/or the bushings are worn out that can cause the symptoms you mention. This has been a serious flaw in the newer version of that saw, from about 5 years ago up to and including the ones they have now, and if the gears are excessively worn and/or have broken teeth it very well may not be practical to repair. The worm gear and shaft bushings however are an easy repair if that is the biggest problem, if they are worn the worm gear will slide slightly and the gears will not mesh properly causing that skip you described..
Kind of a coincidence this has come up because I have been meaning to mention this very problem since I have recommended the HF saw several times here in the past, but no more! FWIW, the Clarke brand saw at Northern Tool appears to be identical to the old saws from HF and they are priced about the same, they may be the same saw but I can only say they look to be the same. In any case I have to do a 180 on the HF saw and take back everything good I said about them, the saw they sell now is not the same saw they had 10 years ago when I bought mine.
After I get the gears cleaned up, I am hoping that between the belt not being tight and the sticky glue type grease, that it will work like it is suppose to. This machine doesn't look like it has many hours on it at all.
Maybe the grease set up because it had been setting without being used for so long.
Thanks for the advice.
My son and I each have the "old" style HF saws and they both have cut tons of metal. I modified my vertical table with both a wood plate and a steel plate on the table to get the gap between the blade and table down to close to 0. this works for finer cuts especially on aluminum.
The only real trouble I have with both saws is that a small chip can get under the blade and cause it to jump off the big wheels. That was the primary reason for going to the tight gap sub tables.
As far as gear lube...I almost think the stock lube is whale oil. It is the stinkiest stuff on the planet. I replaced mine with standard 90-140 gear lube and it runs great. I do think you are right about the newer ones being lesser quality gears. If the gear wear out maybe McMaster would have a part that would be fitted. You might have to bore the gear or change ratio.
The motors on these are very weak. Hard to believe they are 1/2 hp. A new 1/2 hp motor is nearly the cost of a new saw. :(
I have one from northern tool it has the swivel arm vice stays in place I too had replaced the original grease with wheel bearing grease only trouble I 've had was the capacitator I ent to get a new one but they are really small ended up get an american one bigger and just got new cover have had it for 8 years and have really worked it HARD

Played with my box of parts for the 444??? super blaster express. and I tried some loded rounds into a steel ar mag and they fit damm near perfect, the lips on thses mags hold the round nice and level and there steel and cheap. I really wish I had bought a few of those mag addapters. the mags are steel so they can have taps welded on or possably a ar style mag well can be added. A AR in 444??? super death hammer mach 2 would be a really nice build as well. Im thinking it would not take much to build a ar mage well and add it to a ak reciver perminatly I like the way the AR mags go in and out much better than a AK any way. HMMMMMM I post some pics of the rounds in the mag latter.
A US mag would save some $$$$ on compliance parts as well.


text: Man, tough loss. I was keeping an eye on the score throughout and it looked like a close game. I watched the last 6 minutes of the game, and it looks like we just ran out of steam. Wow, Gordon 1-16 shooting! He won't have too many of those nights. I say Dallas barely avoided an embarrassment (which is what would've been for them if we had won). I've seen Jonas guarding Kidd to close the game. He looked like he did an ok job there. Has anyone seen the rest of the game? How did he look defensively overall? His stat line is not all that great.

Which, in your opinion, is the most important firearms safety? Why?
My vote goes to the Brain/Mindset being the most important safety, while handling a firearm. My definition for Brain/Mindset is keeping your mind clear and focused while firing, so as not to do something you will later regret. Also, having the situational awareness to notice where people are, in relation to you and your muzzle. I feel that no matter your skill-level, or the amount of safeties on your firearm, if you don't exercise good judgement/thinking, you are setting yourself up for a potentially unsafe shooting experience.
I was recently told that this opinion is very wrong and that I will soon shoot myself in the foot for thinking this way... I'm just wondering what everyone else on the forum thinks.
If I missed a better safety please let me know.

In your case, a boat you own, trying to get it delivered for a reasonable fee, sailing might very well be the preferred way. BUT, if the OP's boat was launched from the Jeanneau factory in SC, a day late and dollar short lets add, motoring might be the only way to get it to FL for the show, since this was a show model!
If it were a day late, it is also possible some items were not taken care of by the yard that put it in, notes were lost as to what was or was not done, Assumed after the show someone would have time to fix some of the issues..... time was not given to them...
One can come up with multiple reasons both good and bad as to why the OP had issues. Same with the hours on the boat. Local Jeanneau dealer they own a yard 70 or so miles north of seattle, they launch, prep etc there, then literally motor the "stock" to sell boats to seattle. As they are paying the delivery crew by the hour, one gets a no wind day which is somewhat reasonably common here in puget sound, and the boat can literally go backwards due to tides. So motoring to deliver the boats is more the norm.
It would and will be interesting to see what the final verdict was. I doubt we will figure it out.

I've always paid a fixed delivery price for the number of days it should take, with a reduced rate add-on for any weather/mechanical downtime. Motor on and you pay for the fuel too.
With out looking back on pg 1, IIRC the OP's boat was put in the water in NCarolina, shown initially in Fl, so it had to get from NC to FL, probably ALL motored. Not sure of the distance, but frankly, I would not be too surprised to see 20-40 hrs for that trip alone!
Hr/miles on a given rig at purchase can depend on a lot of things. Take a semi truck for example. Kenworth hauls them out of a plant near me with one tractor that has 2 to 3 other trucks front axels on the 5w heading off to where ever. Maybe Florida lets say. So a trip from Seattle to Fl is what 4000 miles....So the lead rig has 4000 miles when it get to FL, it has yet to see a mile use by the end user.
Also, Many BIGGER boats get sailed to the new owner(s) ALL around the world, or they take delivery where it was made, then have to sail them to home, which could be 10-15K mile away. Some of the "how many" hr/miles etc one has on a rig needs to be taken with some grain of salt, based on the item, how it will be used etc. Said semi I mentioned earlier, if used in a OTR situation, does 100-125K miles a year once put into service. Is getting it with 4000 miles much different than you driving off the lot with a car that has 40 with you driving all of 100K miles in its 10 yr lifetime? not really when you look at the % of 4K to 1million miles over 10 yrs. A motor in this boat should go 10K-20K hrs or more before needing a rebuild. Most of us do not keep our boats that long!
right or wrong, Another way to look at things!
Can't say I've heard of rolling back the hours meter, but suspect it wouldn't be too hard to just disconnect one and run unrecorded hours.
I have a neighbor that bought a brand new boat that was tied up in bankruptcy somehow. Dealer inventory or something like that. He got a great deal, but had to wait for the courts to clear the sale. Could be something like that, given the proximity to this recession. Of course, it wouldn't be the first boat to be purchased and never really used much.
Thanks for throwing in the perspective, Minnewaska.
I've just recently seen a pre-owned 2007 DS (don't recall the exact size) for sale with just 90 or so hours on the clock. It seemed odd when knowing that half of it could've been clocked even before the yacht saw its first owner.
On a general note (hope I am not getting too OT), is hour meter rollback as common an issue as with used cars? Should one treat the value with utmost suspicion unless backed by maint. invoices and a surveyor report?
sovereign, good point. The internet can be unreliable or sure. That's why I always suggest that we take everything we think we learn on forums as entertainment. If you think any of it is factual, just do homework on it first. Most does prove accurate, but don't play russian roulette.
That said, yachts are often transported over the ground with their keels removed and reinstalled and even a new yacht could appear in a boat show before its sold, thereby putting a few dozen hours on her to get there. The scenario is plausible, but we don't seem like we'll ever know if its true.
It's a pity the OP never reported back. But has anybody considered this whole case being a hoax (either to victimize a particular dealer or the brand)? Could somebody compare the 3 pics shown with how a brand new keel and hull of SO 42 should look like?
I am quite new to this subject, but is at all possible to have such a bad paint job on a brand new, just delivered yacht? Also, is it normal that new yachts are delivered with 60-odd engine hours like the OP also mentioned in the thread?
Obviously joking. After all, everyone knows that in Miami you dump 'em in the Glades, not in the bay. The watercops in Miami do not allow *anyone* to dump bodies in the bay.
That is pretty funny. Altho hopefully not true.
This person put a post on the jeanneau owners forum.... IIRC a one post wonder!
But it would be nice to know what happened...
|Miami was traditionally an "open town", so it is arguably safe to assume that the dealer put out a contract on the buyer who was making so much trouble for them, and that Alex hasn't been back because he's been sleeping with the fishes.

An intracranial hematoma occurs when a blood vessel ruptures within your brain or between your skull and your brain. The collection of blood (hematoma) compresses your brain tissue.
An intracranial hematoma may occur because the fluid that surrounds your brain can't absorb the force of a sudden blow or a quick stop. Then your brain may slide forcefully against the inner wall of your skull and become bruised.
Although some head injuries — such as one that causes only a brief lapse of consciousness (concussion) — can be minor, an intracranial hematoma is potentially life-threatening and often requires immediate treatment.
An intracranial hematoma often, but not always, requires surgery to remove the blood.
Signs and symptoms of an intracranial hematoma may be evident right after a blow to your head, or they may take several weeks or longer to appear. You may seem fine after a head injury, a period called the lucid interval. However, with time, pressure on your brain increases, producing some or all of the following signs and symptoms:
As more blood fills your brain or the narrow space between your brain and skull, other signs and symptoms may become apparent, such as:
An intracranial hematoma can be life-threatening. Emergency medical treatment often is necessary.
Seek immediate medical attention after a blow to the head if:
Signs and symptoms of intracranial hematoma may not be immediately apparent, so watch for subsequent physical, mental and emotional changes. For example, if someone seems fine after a blow to the head and can talk but then becomes unconscious, seek immediate medical care.
Also, even if you feel fine, ask someone to keep an eye on you. You may have memory loss after a blow to your head, so you may forget about it eventually. Someone you tell may be more likely to recognize the warning signs and get you prompt medical attention.
The cause of intracranial bleeding (hemorrhage) usually is a head injury, often resulting from automobile, motorcycle or bicycle accidents, falls, assaults, and sports injuries. Mild head trauma is more likely to cause a hematoma if you're an older adult, especially if you're taking an anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin. You can have a serious injury even if there's no open wound, bruise or other outward sign of damage.
A hematoma may occur as a subdural hematoma, an epidural hematoma or an intraparenchymal hematoma.
This occurs when blood vessels — usually veins — rupture between your brain and the outermost of three membrane layers that cover your brain (dura mater). The leaking blood forms a hematoma that compresses the brain tissue. If the hematoma keeps enlarging, a progressive decline in consciousness occurs, possibly resulting in death.
The three types of subdural hematomas are:
All three types require medical attention as soon as signs and symptoms appear, or permanent brain damage may result.
The risk of subdural hematoma is greater for people who:
Also called an extradural hematoma, this type occurs when a blood vessel — usually an artery — ruptures between the outer surface of the dura mater and the skull. Blood then leaks between the dura mater and the skull to form a mass that compresses the brain tissue.
Some people with this type of injury remain conscious, but most become drowsy or comatose from the moment of trauma. An epidural hematoma that affects an artery in your brain can be deadly unless you get prompt treatment.
This type of hematoma, also known as intracerebral hematoma, occurs when blood pools in the brain. After a head trauma, there may be multiple severe intraparenchymal hematomas.
The trauma that causes intraparenchymal hematomas often is responsible for so-called white matter shear injuries — torn axons in the brain's white matter. Axons carry electrical impulses, or messages, from the neurons in the brain to the rest of the body. When this connection is sheared, serious brain damage can result.
Diagnosing an intracranial hematoma can be difficult because individuals may seem fine after an injury. However, doctors generally presume that the progressive loss of consciousness after a head injury is caused by a hemorrhage inside the skull until proved otherwise.
Imaging techniques are the best ways to define the position and size of a hematoma. These include:
Some hematomas don't need to be removed because they're small and produce no signs or symptoms. But because signs and symptoms may appear or worsen days or weeks after the injury, if you don't have surgery, you may have to be watched for neurological changes, have your intracranial pressure monitored and undergo repeated head CT scans.
If you take blood-thinning medication, such as warfarin, you may need therapy to reverse the effects of the medication and reduce the risk of further bleeding. Options for reversing blood thinners include administering vitamin K and fresh frozen plasma.
Hematoma treatment often requires surgery. The type of surgery depends on the characteristics of your hematoma. Options include:
After surgery, your doctor may prescribe anticonvulsant drugs for up to a year after the trauma to control or prevent post-traumatic seizures. Long-term anticonvulsant therapy may be needed if seizures continue.
Other conditions that may continue for some time after surgery include:
Recovery after an intracranial hematoma can be prolonged and may be incomplete. If you continue to have neurological problems after treatment, you may need occupational and physical therapy.
Patience is the key to coping with brain injuries. Adults will experience the majority of their recovery during the first six months. You may continue to experience smaller, more gradual improvements for up to two years after the hematoma.
The following tips may help make for a smoother recovery:
These steps may help to prevent or minimize head injury:

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I know that downloading and reading a zine on the screen doesn't come even close to receiving a hard-copy in the mail and reading the real thing but sometimes zines in pdf is the only option. Especially for old out-of-print and/or hard to find zines or for people who can't afford ordering (as many) zines (as they would like), especially with the cost of postage these days.
Anyway, do you download and read zines?
I certainly do. In fact every weekend I make a list of zines that were uploaded through the week and post it on my blog. This past week I found 34 zines/publications online! Links to the zines can be found here: Zines to download -weekly roundup- March 7th 2010. 34 zines can definitely keep you busy for a whole week! :)
Views: 258
I've downloaded a few zines, but for some reason I'm still not sure of, reading a zine on screen is just too much work for me. I've tried printing zines at the library, which has high-speed (which I don't), but have run into technical difficulties. I print out blogs and other on-line material at the library pretty easily, take them home and read them, and have enjoyed that. (It's usually just a few dollars, 0-5, for a decent stack of printouts, say 5 to 50 pages, I think about 3 to 4 cents a page.)
Downloading would seem to work well with high-speed internet. How much do you pay for it? The prices I've seen are pretty high----$60 a month. How many zines, and other good things, could you buy with that? Are downloaded zines (etc.) really "free"?
I'm not slamming the practice. If it works for you, great. But so far it hasn't for me. And it's not clear either that it's "free", or even that cheap, once you look into the actual costs
There is something about reading text on a computer screen that makes me sort of buzz through it quickly and want to multi-task. Having a printed zine that I'm reading on a couch or in bed gets more of my attention. I deliberately sit down to read a print zine, but with webzines I'm just kind of browsing.
Same here. I'm trying more to be open-minded to the electronic/screen reading culture, and I do a little reading on screen, but it's not the focused, absorbed and enjoyed experience that paper reading is. Same with YouTube, which I can only get at the library. For me, reading a book, a zine, a newsletter, printed-out blog, etc., or watching a DVD or videotape, is a very languid experience, very simple, understandable, uncomplicated. (I usually read and watch movies reclining on my bed.) I often feel a vague "tension" in front of a computer, because I've so often been confronted by myriad technical distractions, "locked doors", confusing "no you may not" messages, etc. Maybe a lot of it has to do with my age, 51. This is just the way I learned to enjoy things, the culture I grew up in. I'm more addicted to the Net than I'd like to admit, and there's a lot of worthwhile things I've discovered. But it's not the same as, or as good as, an experience as reading a book/zine/etc. or watching a movie on a "real" television set, or an old movie theater or drive-in of my childhood & youth.
I'm just relating my own subjective answer to the question, and not trying to dis those who've "bonded" with the Net, as I haven't done. My technology, now quaint and passe, is filled with "meaning", and "memories", but in all fairness, I guess for many who grew up with it, so are computers and the Net.
As someone who posts PDFs of my zines and downloads others, I gotta say that I'd much prefer paper ones. The few I have downloaded, I've set up as a booklet and printed them out cause its easier to read them on paper.
The last print zine I made had nearly 900 views online. There is no way I could've reached that many people by just offering print zines, with the cost of printing and postage. Some zines translate well into an online version and some are made only to be on paper.

The case, in itself, is not an example of a great issue confronting justice in the world, it just deals with a Nigerian who found himself working in Saudi Arabia when he was arrested in 2002, along with 12 other Nigerians, for the murder of a police officer. Suleiman Olafemni was finally placed on trial in 2005. At the court proceedings which were in a language he did not understand, the Nigerian was denied the right to legal counsel or even the services of a translator so could understand the trial process. Naturally under the circumstances of this farce of a trial, Olafemni was found guilty and given a death sentence. A higher court has upheld his appeal and he will be executed.
The case is not one entailing a major event. It was just the case of a single human being who found himself in the wrong country at the wrong time. The very idea that 13 men could be found guilty for killing a policeman illustrates the farce that took place in a courtroom. Amnesty International has denounced the entire process as a gross violation of human rights.
Saudi Arabia is an American ally in the fight against terrorism. It might help this fight if Saudi Arabia first began by ending legal terrorism against people.

SORRENTO, FLA. - The University of North Carolina women's golf team grabbed the second-round lead of the UCF Challenge after firing a blistering 10-under-par 278 on Monday. Four Tar Heels scored par or better scores in Monday's second round and the Tar Heels sit atop the leaderboard with an 11-under 565 total.
"The team did a great job today with all of them not worrying about the final outcome and just staying in the process," says Tar Heel head coach Jan Mann. "I know that sounds like a broken record, but it's what we work on day-in and day-out. It's not the easiest thing to do in golf, but when they do it, they get great results. We're looking forward to tomorrow and doing the same thing."
Casey Grice, Elizabeth Mallett, Katherine Perry all scored under-par rounds on Monday while Jackie Chang was even on the day. Junior Grice, from College Station, Texas, led the way for the Tar Heels by firing a 4-under 68. She is in third place at 4-under 140. Her round included five birdies and one bogey, with four of the birdies coming on the back nine. Freshman Mallett and junior Perry both fired a 3-under 69 on Monday and both players scored four birdies and one bogey. Mallett is in sixth place at 2-under 142 while Perry is tied for 16th at 1-over 145. Courtney Gunter, a senior from Matthews, N.C., struggled with an 80 in the second round and is tied for 48th with a 151 total. Maia Schechter, a sophomore from Takoma Park, Md., is competing as an individual and shot an 80 on Monday for a 156 total and is tied for 76th.
Carolina, which was tied for second entering the second round, really turned up the heat on the back nine, playing those holes in 7-under. The Tar Heels' 11-under 565 total is 16 strokes ahead of host UCF and Tulane which are tied for second place at 5-over 581 as both teams carded a 5-over 294 in the second round. East Carolina and August State are tied for fourth place at 11-over 587 while Miami and Virginia are tied for sixth at 588. South Carolina, the first-round leader is alone in eighth place at 14-over 590.
Briana Mao of Virginia and Natalie Wille of Augusta State are tied for the individual lead at 5-under-par 139. Mao fired a 3-under 69 on Monday while Wille shot an even par 72. Carolina's Grice is one stroke back in third at 4-under 140. Two players are tied for fourth place at 3-under 141 - Texas State's Krista Puisite and Miami's Leticia Ras-Anderica. Carolina's Mallett is alone in sixth place at 2-under 142 while there are five players tied for seventh at 1-under 143 - Carolina's Chang, Tulane's Silvia Garces and Emily Penttila, Coastal Carolina's Brittany Henderson and UCF's Monifa Sealy.
The final round of the 54-hole event will be played Tuesday at RedTail Golf Club which features a par 72, 6,374-yard layout. The Tar Heels begin teeing off at 8:45 a.m. Live scoring is available on GoHeels.com.

Thank you for taking the time to take this month's poll.
In this month's Sounding Board, Jerry Bleem, O.F.M. argues that the Catholic Church should encourage good, provocative, modern art. Tell us what type of art is most inspiring to you.

Please take our entire survey on religious art.

The results will appear in the January 2011 issue of U.S. Catholic. Order your copy today!
Take other polls here.
religous art should be colorfull not provacative to catch people's eyes, the reason i like to look at religous art is because it depicts a story
Religious Art
I believe that religious art should be inspirational and instructive. Icons are regarded as "windows of heaven", and religious art has been used for thousands of years to instruct the faithful.
Provocative Catholic Art
One could say that the Crucifix in a glass of urine was Catholic and provocative. How about that picture of Our Blessed Mother that had ox dung on it? Plays that depict Jesus as a homosexual? This posture is ridiculous! Would Jesus condone such blasphemy? Art it intended to uplift and possibly to help with meditation, etc.; but not at the expense of decency and provocativeness for the artist's self-expression.
much agreed
I think we need to take a look at our entire civilization and where its going. Some things should still be held sacred so that we don't end up as a bunch of heathens. We're well on our way as it stands. -Jason
Response to art question
Do we have to be provoked in order to appreciate beauty, or moral duty, or political necessity? I'm a bit tired of those who are always trying to provoke me. Just give me something honest to think about and let my reflective abilities take over. You don't have to provoke me! If I were always provoking my students, wouldn't that qualify as manipulation?

Jessica Beaudet's brother tells her she does way too much really well
A cue to the diversity of Jessica Beaudet's accomplishments can be found in the fact that according to her she "relaxes" by "being active."
For the 29-year-old Auburn resident, being active means being involved either as a member or in a leadership role with over a half-dozen charities and organizations, including church work, professional networks, and speaking roles.
The 2010 Southern New Hampshire University graduate is currently the recruiting manager for the Nagler Group, an administrative and human resources staffing group serving New Hampshire and Massachusetts. She is also a presenter for N.H. Works on issues of job searching, resume writing, and interviewing.
As a young professional herself, a key concern of Beaudet's is the state's ability to attract and retain young workers. In the 2011 census, New Hampshire was found to be the fourth-oldest state in the union in terms of demographics, with a median age of 41.1 years old. Demographic trends have also shown a steady decline in the state's 20- to 29-year-old population since the 1990s.
"I think that when kids go away to college, the big city life and things like that attract them, and a lot of times they won't come back because New Hampshire kind of has this stigma for being a boring place with not a lot to do for young people. In reality, there's so much to do. We just need to get the word out."
For her part, however, Beaudet could not imagine being anywhere else.
"I love it here," she said. "It's really hard to imagine living anywhere else. I just love the area. There's so much to do. You can go to the city, go to the seacoast, go to the mountains, go camping. I mean really, where can you live where you can do all those things?"
Of her charity work, Beaudet is perhaps most recognized for her position on the board of directors for Bridges, a nonprofit organization based out of Nashua providing free and confidential services to victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence and harassment.
"The core to my heart is everything I do I try to help somebody else," she said. "Everything I'm involved in is something that I'm passionate about. I think just to be a better person, to be out there, be involved and helping other people, that's what life is all about."
Put another way, her brother has said of her for years, "Jessica does way too much, but she does way too much really well."

text: Alright, hopefully I can get to the bottom of all these questions. First off, I got a 1999 1500 EXT Cab Z71 and my on-road to off-road driving is about 75% (on-road) to 25% (off-road) but I love the ability to just go whenever I want. So knowing that my questions are in regards to tires, and lift components. I've got aftermarket 16" rims and I want to do a 6" Rough Country NTD Drop lift kit. It basically says that you MUST have 17" with 4.5" backspacing to run the kit. Couldn't I get away with just adding 2" wheel spacers to get around this? Does anyone know if the knuckles would contact the rim with a 16" rim? Right now I'm unsure of my backspacking, but I noticed that my tires (most noticeable on the back) stick out a 1/4" to 1/2" beyond the body and with the stock rims and tires it was flush (if not recessed). I'm currently looking at the Nitto Terra Grappler (315/75R-16) [35x12.4R-16] but I am looking for that distinct "hum' you get from the tires on the road. Does anyone know anything about these? What are the best tires for the part-time off-roader that I am with the best value? I also like the look of these and of the Dune Grappler. Rough Country offers kicker braces and I looked at these. Are these recommended for part-time off-roading? Same question with the HD Tie Rod sleeve they offer. Please keep in mind that I am not made of money thats why I am looking to get around a few things. Any input would be of great help to me. Thanks!

Lift Manufacturers announce release of ANSI MH29.1:2012
Industrial Scissor Lifts Safety Requirements adopted into the International Building Code.
in the NewsCorrugated Packaging Alliance releases new report showing industry's environmental progress Global ports sector faces structurally slower growth, says Fitch Ratings California leads the way in addressing transport infrastructure Buoyed by e-commerce, secondary industrial markets have strong future growth prospects, says CBRE Buoyed by e-commerce, secondary industrial markets have strong future growth prospects, says CBRE More News
The Lift Manufacturers Product Section (LMPS) Industry Group of the MHI has released an update of ANSI 29.1 titled ANSI MH29.1:2012-Industrial Scissor Lifts Safety Requirements. This standard was developed to provide a comprehensive safety standard and establish a minimum design and performance criteria to ensure the safe application and utilization of industrial scissors lifts.
ANSI MH29.1 is intended to serve as a guide for designers, manufacturers, sellers, installers, equipment specifiers, owners, users and governing bodies of industrial scissors lifts. The new revision of MH29.1:2012 also makes changes and additions to definitions contained in the standard. These changes provide further delineation between Industrial Scissor Lifts and aerial type lifts. Overlap and confusion in the standards has now been rectified.
With this release this Industrial Lift Standard is in conformance with International Code Council (ICC) Standards and is recognized by the International Building Code (IBC). The IBC standard is adopted by regulators in almost all 50 states. Industrial Scissor Lift users who want to meet IBC standards when using lifts are assured that the manufacturers who design, build and recognize MH.29.1:2012 meet these stringent standards. ANSI MH29.1 now comes with a complimentary copy of the Safety Label Brochure for Industrial Scissors Lifts and can be ordered at MHI.org for $30. Click here to order.
LMPS is made up of industrial lift manufacturers who join together to champion industry best practices, standards, information, and equipment that lifts, rotates, tilts, and otherwise positions materials. Members of LMPS are: Advance Lift, Autoquip Corporation, Bishamon, 4Front, Pentalift, Southworth.

Beyonce invites fans to join Super Bowl show
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
(WENN) - Beyonce is inviting fans to take part in her upcoming Super Bowl half-time show.
The superstar will take center stage at the game in New Orleans, Louisiana next February and she's put out a casting notice to recruit "enthusiastic volunteers" to join her on the field for the performance.
The advertisement promises the event will be a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" and calls for groups of at least 10 members, suggesting Beyonce is planning to incorporate a flashmob-style segment in her big gig.
Bey follows Madonna onto the Super Bowl stage - the Material Girl performed the half-time show at this year's sporting spectacle, where she was joined by Cee Lo Green, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. and LMFAO.

Confirmed: Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan, Rand Paul to address CPAC 2013
posted at 1:15 pm on January 17, 2013 by Guy Benson
Say, what do these three gentlemen have in common? CPAC typically publishes a long list of "invited speakers," then confirms participants on a rolling basis. So far, these are the only three announcements they've blasted out to the media, perhaps indicating that these particular individuals were — shall we say — proactive about RSVP-ing. Glaringly absent from the 'invited' roster is another rumored 2016 hopeful who has maintained an arm's length relationship with the conference throughout his relatively brief political career. One wonders if he'll be more willing to play ball with conservatives after this coming November. Meanwhile, two intriguing, out-of-the-box invitees to CPAC 2013 are generating some buzz: Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada's conservative party, and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. I have no insight into how Harper's team might weigh the domestic politics of accepting or declining this invitation (how would a speech to a room of intensely conservative Americans play up north?), but I'd be shocked if Netanyahu agreed to address the gathering. It's true that Bibi hasn't shied away from publicly challenging President Obama — and the two leaders' fraught relationship likely took another frosty turn, in light of the Hagel SecDef nomination — but speaking at a conference like CPAC would be widely interpreted as an overt gesture of hostility. I don't think Netanyahu has any incentive to needlessly antagonize any American president in such a manner.
CPAC 2013 is being held later in the calendar year than usual, running from March 14-16 at the 'National Harbor' convention center (rather than one of the two large hotels in Woodley Park, DC — another major change).

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TheeTFD, Nov 5, 2008.
neither bibby nor josh smith played for atlanta. yet denver won by one point.
He was 18-19 from the line against Washington on 11/25/06.
Chaunc will get them out of the first round. And the city will still love him even if he doesn't cause he's theirs.
Getting out of the 1st round will depend on what seed they get; who they play, and Nene's health. Those three things fall into place and i can see them getting there. They are in position to face NOH right now.
Pistons sputter since swapping Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson That was quick . . .
They beat the Lakers for the first time in 9 tries. Held the Lakers to their 2sd worst shooting % since they arrived in L.A. 90-78 I knew they were saving up for something.
This post is directed @ TaShawn: Since the Nuggets are now in the 7th spot in the West, I wanted to get your feedback on this avatar. Would this work for you? (For the record: Tas & I currently have a little wager that if the Nuggets don't qualify for the playoffs in one of the top 4 spots, I get to chose his avatar for 1 week.)
That avatar would be fine. Personally I celebrate the woman's entire catalogue. I'm wondering if Ros would grant me the 1 week exception to have an avatar that big (even if it was shrunk). Since it's been such a roller coaster, I'm leaning toward this one for you if CB7 leads them to a comeback.
They got rolled again. With Jazz winning 12 straight now that Boozer is back, could get ugly for Nuggs.
I remember commenting about how they are worse w/ Melo when ppl kept diminishing the win we had against them. Might be more true than i thought. They need the game tonight. If they lose this one, they are in major trouble.
For sure they don't need Melo.
Watching and listening to the nuggets vs. jazz.....boy did karl hate AI. He told the interviewer that this has been his most enjoyable year as the coach of the nuggets. This spiral down by the pistons has exposed AI more than elevated billups. Lets face it philly improved after AI and the nuggets have improved. I just hope this cap space will be worth it.
The announcers keep talking about AI and his "chaos" and how it was hard for them to play transition D. I wish they would shut-up. I don't want to hear it anymore. It just sucks especially watching CB play fantastic w/ that commentary in the background.
50 wins. I noticed they had Melo guarding Deron Williams a few times towards the end of the game and he did a really good job. Perhaps CB's cerebral touch has found its' way to Melo's head?
LOL. I think our team could benefit from a "cerebral touch".
Denver went 50-32 last season. They're currently 50-26. I think they'll win in the 1st round with that cerebal touch.
when was teh last tym u saw chauncey dunk on a game?
I don't know. I stopped watching the Nuggets. It's too depressing.
That was awesome. His teammates were giving him a hard time. It's great to see Chauncey having fun.
Was it vicious or did he just throw it down, matter of fact ?

A seminar with Dr. Michael Hudson, Director of the Middle East Institute and Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore. With the region in turmoil, the global strategic balance shifting, and domestic challenges pressing, the Obama Administration appears to be improvising. In Asia, there is a widespread view that America is in decline globally, that the "tilt" to Asia is not serious and that this Administration is weak and confused. Is that view too harsh? This seminar will look at the U.S. and the Arab uprisings, Iran and the Gulf, Al-Qa'ida, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Is a "pax Americana" for the Middle East possible—or even necessary?

Iv'e had a chance to be around several State Trooper's in the last several year's & have to say as a whole they are very fine people1 8)
Dont really know where to post this but I was in a situation today where I had to shoot something. Im traveling down a road along a river with a speed limit of 55. Up ahead I see a truck come to a stop so I slowed down and notice this raccoon walking across the road very slowly. When it crossed the road it started to head up a driveway to a YMCA camp. I ask the guys in the truck if they thought it had rabies and they said yes. So I pulled over and called the cops. No one knew who had jurisdiction so I gave up. Right then a State trooper pulled over and asked whats going on. I told him and we walked up the driveway after it. I told him that I would shoot it if he wanted me to. He said great idea because he didnt want to do the paper work if he shot the poor thing. I took my glock 30 out and put it out of its misery with one shot. The trooper said thanks and went on his way. He never asked me if I had a permit for the gun or anything. I picked up my brass and left.
Iv'e had a chance to be around several State Trooper's in the last several year's & have to say as a whole they are very fine people1 8)
That's the way it should be!
Everyone feels good... Bully for the Trooper and Bully for you!
The YMCA guy put it in the dumpster
Aw man, ya' mean ya' didn't give it a proper burial?
lol ive been looking through old posts and found this to be hilarious
This year I've shot 5 raccoons. 3 in the day time. I don't know many times you see a coon walking around in the daylight unless they are rabid. Around here anyway. Seems rabies has been pretty bad this Year.
It's been my experience when dealing with state LEO that they are a lot easier to talk to than locals. Even county LEO seem easier. But I know several state and county guys too so that might have some to do with it. Around here most the town cops are young and are more into shaking down the people that gave them crap in high school. State LEO got a lot of stuff on their plate it seems to me also. People are shooting at them to save their meth labs etc. Most the towns are pretty small around here so there's not a lot for local LEO do do. And when there is the state and county usually come in because most towns here don't have many of any police local. My little town has no police at all . Been trying to hire one but no one has applied since the last one was sent packing for shaking down kids and not believing he needed money in the bank to write checks.
WEll dag nabbit it should be like that. Dang POTUS gets to just print it (sounds like an add for the new Obama sneaker..Just print it..Swoooosh!) when he gets low on the lettuce.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
This is a one page zine that I made for the International Zine Month Challenge in 2014.
It is a mini zine based off my Kiss & Tell series where I write about past sexual escapades.
This edition features one full-color photo that I have taken in the past 10 years - generally something provocative - or where I am scantily clad.
It also features an overlay on each inner page of an excerpt from different entries from my sex blog.
Basically it's a mini-jerk-off book. :p
I accept trades!

AMES, Iowa — Iowa Learning Farms and the Hewitt Creek Watershed Improvement Association are hosting a field day starting at 10 a.m. Friday, June 8, at the Al Wente denitrifying bioreactor site located at 26723 New Vienna Road, Farley, Iowa. The farm site is located 6.5 miles east of New Vienna on New Vienna Road (Dubuque County road D-17). The field day will focus on best-management practices to reduce nitrate fertilizer losses from farm fields. The event is free and the public is invited to attend.
Matt Helmers, water quality engineer with Iowa State University and Iowa Learning Farms, will present research data from Iowa bioreactor sites. Helmers will describe how the Wente bioreactor was designed and how it will work to reduce nitrate delivery from the subsurface tile lines that are draining cropped fields. The bioreactor is equipped with flow monitoring equipment and is sampled regularly to monitor nitrate reduction as part of the Mississippi River Basin Initiative (MRBI). The Wente bioreactor is one of two bioreactors installed in northwest Dubuque County during the summer of 2011.
Hewitt Creek Watershed Association members will share their experiences of adding cover crops last fall and how this season's corn and soybean crops are progressing following the overwintering cover crops. Use of the late spring soil nitrate test will be detailed, and watershed coordinator Matt Welsh will provide an update about the success of the North Fork Maquoketa River Watershed MRBI project.
The Hewitt Creek Watershed Improvement Association is a farmer-led association located in northwest Dubuque County. Nearly 75 percent of the farmers in the watershed have participated in watershed improvement activities. The association was initiated in 2005 and received seed money from the Iowa Farm Bureau prior to receiving two watershed improvement grants from the Iowa Watershed Improvement Review Board. The Hewitt Creek watershed is also part of the North Fork Maquoketa River MRBI. More information about the watershed improvement project can be found at http://hewittcreek.wordpress.com/.
The Iowa Learning Farms Lil' Conservation Station will be showcased at the event. The Conservation Station is a mobile learning center that travels across the state teaching all Iowans how they can help to improve water quality and keep Iowa's soils in place — building a culture of conservation. The Conservation Station's rainfall simulator demonstrates the effects of rainfall on different land scenarios. Water runoff and subsurface drainage are collected in clear jars that show what is coming off the land, including heavily tilled soil, minimum tillage and pervious pavement.
Iowa Learning Farms takes a grassroots approach, offering innovative ways to help all Iowans have an active role in keeping the state's natural resources healthy and not take them for granted. A goal of Iowa Learning Farms is to build a culture of conservation, encouraging the adoption of residue management and conservation practices. Farmers, researchers and ILF team members are working together to identify and implement the best in-field management practices that increase water and soil quality while remaining profitable. Visit the Iowa Learning Farms website for more information: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/ilf.
Iowa Learning Farms is a partnership of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, Iowa Natural Resources Conservation Service and Iowa Department of Natural Resources (USEPA section 319); in cooperation with Conservation Districts of Iowa, the Iowa Farm Bureau and the Iowa Water Center.

Tax evasion: Only voluntary disclosure affords protection from severe penaltiesAnyone who has been caught for tax evasion should expect to be faced with severe penalties. Voluntary disclosure is the only way of returning to a state of normal tax affairs and avoiding penalties.
GSK Update: AIFM Marketing in Germany - The clock is ticking for U.S. and other non-EU fund managersOur GSK Update informs about the impact of recent German investment fund legislation (UCITS V Implementation Act) for AIF managers, who are not domiciled in the EU ("non-EU-AIFM") and who seek to market AIF shares in Germany in accordance with applicable German investment fund law under the EU-AIFM Directive (2011/61/EU).
GSK expands Luxembourg presence with a new tax partnerOpened at the beginning of March 2016, GSK Stockmann + Kollegen continues to expand its Luxembourg office. Mathilde Ostertag recently joined the Luxembourg team of Equity Partners Dr. Marcus Peter, Andreas Heinzmann and Dr. Philipp Mößner as Local Tax Partner.
EIA - Strengthening the role of the publicAmong other things, the recent amendment to the Environmental Impact Assessment Act has broadened the rights of (what is termed) the "affected public". The affected public consists primarily of various citizens' initiatives pursuing environmental or public-health purposes. It may for instance file an appeal against a negative decision at the screening stage (i.e., a decision according to which the given project does not require the issuance of an EIA report), and seek its annulment in court. The affected public has been granted a stronger voice also in subsequent procedures in which the fate of a building project is being decided: zoning proceedings and the proceedings on the issuance of a building permit. Taken together, these legislative changes may make it more difficult to implement projects which require an EIA report; in particular, the length of permission proceedings may be substantially extended.

No obligation to set up filtering systems in order to prevent copyright violationsECJ, decision of February 16th, 2012, ref. C-360/10 – SABAM
Further ECJ Ruling concerning NGO's right of action under German environmental lawFor the second time within a short period of time, the non-governmental organisations right to challenge administrative decisions under German law is going to be subject to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice (ECJ). In January 2012, the German Supreme Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht) referred a case to the ECJ for a preliminary ruling concerning the NGO's right of action.
Lessons in Cross-Border M & A TransactionsThe fundamental advice for international business transactions is obvious and easy to understand: different countries have different laws, business habits and cultures. These differences may range from minor nuances, such as lengthy French business lunches or unusual Spanish office hours, to significant legal roadblocks, such as strict European employment laws.
Priority rental rights in insolvencyParties to rental contracts for commercial premises often agree priority rental rights. In practice, this concept is used to cover a whole series of legal structures. These range from fixed options for the tenant to a promise made by the landlord as a business policy that if any additional premises become available, they will be offered to the tenant. In 2010 the Berlin Court of Appeal issued a ruling on such priority rental rights in insolvency; the decision has recently been published.- SIBETH
Rome I Regulation: choice of law for contractual obligationsThe EU Rome I Regulation (593/2008) of the European Parliament and of the Council came into force on 17 December 2009 (Convention). The Convention sets rules to determine the (national) law applicable to contractual obligations in civil and commercial matters. This Regulation replaces the 1980 Rome Convention and is especially relevant to cross-border businesses. The intention of the Convention is to provide legal certainty in cases where the parties have not expressly chosen the applicable law governing their contract.

Over 250,000 people will flock to the shores of the Charles River in Boston, Mass. this weekend and for the Head of the Charles Regatta. For the first time in program history, those fans will get a chance to see the Canisius College rowing team participating in the event.
The Griffs' Varsity Eight will compete in the 49th annual regatta that sees some of the nation's fastest crews.
"This marks by far the biggest regatta and most speed we've ever faced," said head coach Joel Furtek. "We'll be rowing in a fish bowl environment, so everything we do will be watched, and I think it's a great opportunity for us to who we are and what we can do."
The Griffs' Varsity Eight will include junior Liz Reinwald, freshman Liz DelBarba, sophomore Corrine Kickel, sophomore Nora Kennon, senior Liz McKinney, Senior Amanda Kielich, senior Allison Braun, and senior Bridget Laszewski. Sophomore Hannah Blum will be the coxswain.
Canisius will be one of 29 teams competing in the women's collegiate race. The Griffs will be in the 27th starting position between Penn State and Boston College. Fellow MAAC schools Iona and Fairfield will also be in the race field.
"Here we get to race against a broad range of programs that we wouldn't get to at a normal regatta," Furtek said. "It's also a great opportunity to get our name out there and extend the Canisius name outside of the Western New York community where everyone knows us."
The event will be the fourth and final event of the Griffs' fall season.

NORTH KC HOSPITAL: A bill preventing the hospital from being sold without a public vote lands on Governor Jay Nixon's Desk. Also this week, the city's new mayor and a majority of the council say they are opposed to the sale of the hospital. Is this the end of this long-running and divisive saga?
HOMESCHOOLING: It's the fastest growing segment of American education. But remarkably, there is very little regulation of homeschooling in Kansas or Missouri.

She is about 18-19 inches tall. She has short light feathering on her front legs, ears and belly. Her hair is wavy on her chest, sides rump and tail. She is mostly white with a typical head color.
