The St. Vincent Mustangs have racked up some mileage in the past few years, and not just traveling to their football games.
The small Petaluma school has changed leagues several times in the past decade, bouncing among the North Central League II, NCL I South, the Bay Football League, and now, next season, back to the NCL I.
Moving back to the NCL I, in football only, will mean more travel time to the north, but will result in better competition, coach Gary Galloway said.
While in the Bay Football League this past season, the Mustangs played teams from Oakland, San Jose, Fremont and Emeryville. Even though those schools are outside the North Bay, they are actually nearer than some of the "local" schools St. Vincent will play in the NCL I.
But there was no built-in rivalries to spark emotion, and, more importantly, only one of those schools had a junior varsity program, which left the JV Mustangs gameless too often.
"Last year was the first time I remember where we got only seven JV games in, and we were scrambling for those," said Galloway, who has coached at St. Vincent going on four decades.
"For those kids, the season is over too soon and you bring young kids up to varsity, some kids probably who would have a better time playing at the JV level."
So St. Vincent asked to return to the NCL I, which already had eight teams: Cloverdale, Fort Bragg, St. Helena, Middletown, Willits, Kelseyville, Lower Lake and Clear Lake.
The now odd-number league will require each school to have a bye week, which some coaches weren't so keen on, Galloway said.
But the move also returns St. Vincent to truly local competition and reunites rivalries that will be important not just for pride, but in the league standings as well.
Even when not in the NCL, the Mustangs have tried to schedule St. Helena, Cloverdale, Willits and Fort Bragg in baseball and football to keep traditions alive.
St. Vincent's rivalry with Tomales dates to the 1950s, assistant coach Gary von Raesfeld said. And under the umbrella of the Coastal Mountain Conference that comprises the NCLs I, II and III, the Mustangs have a connection with Laytonville, Round Valley and other small schools throughout the region.
The move to the NCL I next season also keeps St. Vincent playing 11-man football, in contrast to several smaller schools including NCL III teams Tomales, Anderson Valley, Calistoga, Point Arena and others that have had to switch to eight-man football to keep their programs alive.
"I want to make sure that even though we're a small school, we play 11-man football," Galloway said.
St. Vincent, with an enrollment of about 250 kids, has played in the NCL I before, the NCL II and various combinations of the Bay league and an NCL I-South division for several years.
Galloway knows the competition in the NCL I will be tough, especially against schools that have more than double the enrollment as St. Vincent.
They will face strong football programs like Fort Bragg, which went 11-1 last season, and St. Helena, which finished 9-2. His Mustangs finished 2-2 in the Bay league last season and 3-7 overall.

You may have noticed that the span of time between posts has been a little longer recently.
Unfortunately, we are in the midst of a family emergency here. My father is quite ill and for a brief period of time, we were not sure if things would go his way.
He has recovered a bit and while his prognosis improves, dad is still very much in the thick of the woods. Being the sons of this retired physician, my brothers and I each understand the reality of life but also the vital importance of a positive outlook. I am very confident that he will recover and get back to a slightly less busy schedule.
At the same time this was all unfolding, I was also engaged in several reader discussions on the importance of personal style and finding one's own sartorial voice. As a small tribute to the man who shaped much of the person I am today, I am reposting an article from several years ago on this very topic.
The most significant impact on my personal style is without a doubt that of my father's. While there have been many other influences, from magazines and movies to managing a Ralph Lauren store, it always comes back to him.
My father has a timeless sense of taste and a respect for quality. He is, at heart, a J. Press man. He attended Yale College and then Yale Medical School back when young men were required to wear coat and tie to class, so Press was very much a part of his life. Beyond that, though, he is a true to form OCBD kind of guy.
To my knowledge, as long as I have been alive, he has never owned a pair of jeans.
He has always been without pretense though, never believing that any advantages offered to him by life made a whit of difference. He lives life very much as he dresses; comfortable and classic without being stuffy or off-putting.
To the contrary, he has always been an approachable guy, which is very important given his profession. In fact, he recently wrapped up a teaching position at his alma mater – educating medical students on how to actually interact with people.
Grandpa with his granddaughters
While he is a conservative dresser, my dad is by no means a sartorial wallflower. From white tie, tails and top hat for an annual dinner dance to creamy flannels, blue blazer, and a panama for a summer's concert under the stars, he most certainly exemplifies great personal style.
I have many many mental snapshots of him that have helped to cement my love for clothing and its power. But one memory stands out because it was less about what he had on and more about who he is.
I was with a friend who worked in the hospital's emergency room and we had stopped by so that he could drop something off. I tried to stay out of the way and unobtrusively stood in a corner watching the commotion.
Unexpectedly, I saw my dad come around the corner wearing a seersucker suit and white bucks – downright natty. In the emergency room no less! He has always held a strong personal belief that as a physician his patients always deserved to be treated with dignity because of the trust they put in him. Dressing well is a simple and visible show of that respect and affection.
What will forever hold a special place in my heart is what happened next. Not seeing me, he walked over to a man lying on a gurney along the wall, gently leaned over him and began to talk. Their heads close together, I could see the body of my dad's patient relax a bit. To him, that man was the only person in the world who mattered.
At that moment, what he had on was irrelevant; he was there to comfort and help this sick person. In that instant, the style on the outside was eclipsed by the man on the inside.
More than any glossy magazine or celebrity, that image will always be my definition of true style.

I found EMC's webinar, Leveraging Composer and Aspects, informative given the format and one hour time limit. Composer is the Eclipse plug-in and looks good overall. An aspect is a software design technique which could revolutionize Documentum data architecture. How EMC implemented aspects, however, repeats their architectural mistake with DBOF. Oh well.
Composer looks competently-enough done to be a welcome replacement to the persnickety Documentum Application Builder (DAB). The look and feel (and clutter) is pure Eclipse–no sexy Apple minimalist influence here. The win here is one-stop shopping: Developers won't split their attention (nor workstations their resources) across two programs. That's definitely a Good Thing.
Aspects in theory are great. They allow per-instance extension of both state and behavior, so objects get what they need when they need it. The reduction in type bloat alone is worth it. There's no need for all those "optional attributes" just in case a particular instance becomes a document of record or gets included in a submission. Fabulous. In happy wonderful fantasy land, I'd scrap dm_document completely for a true lightweight object, then staple on versioning, lifecycles, web content, retention, and whatever as needed.
Aspects bring some real architectural benefits, too. Adding an aspect at runtime doesn't require ALTER TYPE activity which can crap out the database on some really big (or really underpowered) docbases. Older docbases will also benefit from this easy way to add and remove new functionality without the potential dangers of hacking around the existing type hierarchy. Documentum architects now have a built-in way to do composition, a technique that is largely replacing inheritance in OOP design theory because it keeps the design open and adaptable.
Aspects in practice aren't so great. My fear that aspects would use the DBOF model of requiring Java code client-side has been confirmed, although they made an effort to minimally support DQL since attributes are involved. (No word on DQL limitations imposed by aspects yet.) Turning the docbase into a JAR pusher has improved the deployment situation, but it's still pushing functionality too far up the stack for my liking. More moving parts mean more things can fail, get out of sync, or confound.
This design flaw will persist for as long as EMC is swinging their Java hammer, even on screws like scripting. Perhaps EMC catching onto jython a few months back means they're reaching back into the toolbox. Funny how they had to make a simple script look so big with all the extraneous print statements–very Java of them. If only there were another way to pass messages from a client to Documentum without the DFC. Hmmm.
Here's what I'm thinking: All custom client applications and integrations should use DFS going forwrd–assuming it doesn't have its own issues. DFC programming should be restricted to the uber-server, that big box drawn around the real docbase servers, webtop servers, DFC servers, full-text indexing servers, site caching servers, etcetera. Only push DARs–yes, they had to go there–to Documentum application servers. What goes on in the uber-server stays in the uber-server–including every single line of DFC code.
Aspects are too useful to discount for a few architectural missteps–as long as you're careful where you walk.

UPDATE: No evidence of vehicle under Fort Ann rock slide
A cliff alongside a Fort Ann road collapsed early today, spilling massive boulders across the two lanes that will remain closed until at least Tuesday morning.
Police responded to Route 4 after 9 a.m. today after reports of a rock slide.
A witness told police she watched in her rear-view mirror as an SUV disappeared under the rocks. But infrared cameras didn't detect any source of heat under the rubble, no fluids were seen flowing and there was no smell of gasoline, police said.
"Right now, there is no evidence there is a car under there," Washington County Public Safety Director Bill Cook said early Monday afternoon.
Heavy equipment was brought in to break up and remove the rock and Cook said workers believed they could do the job without blasting. Cleanup was delayed early this afternoon as officials waited for geology experts to say whether the rest of the rock was stable.
Route 4 is a major route between the Hudson Falls-Glens Falls area and the Whitehall-Rutland area in Vermont. The rock slide is located several miles east of Lake George and north of Hudson Falls.

Thanks for the data! I simply underwent twin knee surgical procedure about 15 hrs in the past and ever since I can't cease itching!! Especially the tip of my nose which is getting fairly annoying!

Information expertise has the potential to enhance the supply of complete companies by way of improved communication and coordination. The coordination of data programs that bridge methods ought to promote the use of shared databases across all health service areas whereas maintaining patient/consumer rights and privacy. Integration additionally requires better coordination of quality outcome/efficiency measures. If the quality metrics used to measure healthcare aren't aligned, efforts to establish best practices in integration will probably be pointless. Measurement requirements should cross mental and normal well being and ought to be influenced by shopper preferences and enter.
I have had debates like this earlier than, and so they normally descend to the point of cultural relativism – healthcare is an efficient instance. Most European programs had been constructed from scratch, after the devastation of the conflict. They have been constructed with Universal Healthcare in thoughts and have developed that manner. It works, so please don't believe the hype. No system is ideal, however the advantages far outweigh the prices.
Fruits include carbohydrates plus slightly little bit of protein, and intensely little fat. Carbohydrates and fats embody the primary sources of vitality (calories) inside the weight loss program. Calories in fruits come largely from simple carbohydrates; that's, sugars for instance fructose, sucrose and glucose. Most fruits haven't got an excessive amount of calories. Consume juicy fruits like grapes, melons, pears, plums, grapefruit, oranges, pomegranates, pineapple, figs, dates and apples. These food varieties are brimmed with antioxidants, promote efficient digestion, and assist take away impurities out of your body and are healthy in your pores and skin and body.
As a European, I can only really touch upon US points as they appear in debate. The most obvious things are the quantity of worry in the debate, the distortion of easily checked info (particularly relating to the overall quality of healthcare which is relatively poor within the US by all dependable stats), the distrust of Governments and the all of the flag waving.

VIDEO: Natalie Portman speaks Hebrew
Don't bother to see the movie Natalie Portman is promoting here. "Goya's Ghosts" was god-awful, and the pretty Ms. Portman in poor form as a balding, raving lunatic throughout the film. Although, you can't entirely blame her. For the unconscionable crime of refusing to eat pork, her character, the daughter of a wealthy merchant and the artist Goya's muse, is tortured, falsely imprisoned, raped and driven mad. But it's all worth it in the end because there is the the lovely left-over benefit of hearing her promote the film in her fluffy but fluent Hebrew.

Etoile de Gaulle- Paris, France -Somewhere In Time Weekly Travel Photo.
Somewhere in Time is a weekly travel photo from around the world. Enjoy!
Ahhhh…the Paris Metro system. I have a strange affinity for trains and subway systems. On my first visit to London I thought I had died and gone to heaven when I rode on the Tube. I thought it was the most amazing metro system I had ever ridden on and I loved London so much it was just the icing on the cake. That was until I went to Paris, then I was really in love – the people, the names of the stops, the beautiful tiled stations, the grungy nasty stations, the extremely elaborate frames on most of the advertisements – each stop was different, beautiful & ugly. I don't know exactly what it is about underground subways or trains that I like so much. Whenever I board one I feel like I am on the cusp of something and I can't put my finger directly on it. They make me think about the journey – whether it's a personal transformation or the literal act of going from one place to the next. Being among a huge crowd yet riding completely alone is a surreal feeling – the feeling that anything can happen. It's the spaces in between that matter most on any journey and it isn't more in your face than on a crowded subway line.

"Frederick Moyer's playing has unquestionably the finest polish and immaculate discretion of these four [recordings by Alain Planes, Dejan Lazic, Frederick Moyer, Martha Argerich]…Every piano student should study this recording for its jewel-like precision…The most memorable work on the program? Surely the D flat Nocturne, thought by many to be Chopin's quintessential Nocturne; Moyer's recording of it is one of the most winsome to be found." AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE
"Aficionados will admire Moyer's supreme artistry, comparable to that of the late Artur Rubinstein and other leading Chopin interpreters…Moyer's elegant feel for the music's line, his effective use of rubato and his clarity of execution all make this CD worth buying…His sense of the dramatic is without equal." WINSTON-SALEM JOURNAL
"From the 17-year-old Chopin's deliciously witty Variations on Mozart's 'La ci darem la mano' through the mature composer's dreamy-with-backbone Polonaise-Fantasie in A flat, Moyer offers impeccable playing (those exquisite scales!) and consummate elegance. He also offers all the charm and flair you - or the composer - could want…without a trace of the 'virtuosic' hamminess that Chopin inspires in some." BOSTON HERALD
"Throughout the recording Moyer's playing is warm-toned and fluent. The lyrical, narrative and display features of the two great Ballades, Nos. 1 and 3, are effectively and patiently developed. The 'Black Key' Etude in G-flat, Opus 10, No. 5, has plenty of glitter, while the Nocturne in D-flat, Opus 27, No. 2, glows with expressive feeling." THE PATRIOT LEDGER

Why did the power of the Egyptian Pharaohs decrease over time?
- print Print
- list Cite
The power of the Pharoahs decreased as Egypt suffered invasions from foreign powers which the Pharoahs were unable to prevent. Following the death of Alexander the Great (who had had himself crowned Pharaoh,) the Egyptian Empire was considerably smaller than in previous years. Alexander's general, Ptolemy, created another dynasty which included Cleopatra; but at this point Egypt was overshadowed by the growing power of Rome.
The Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Egypt were originally united under the legendary Pharaoh Menes. It was Menes who founded the first Dynasty and was considered the earthly manifestation of the god Horus. He was also believed to be responsible for the flooding of the Nile, which was vital to Egyptian civilization.
Over time, several parts of Egypt broke away from central control and declared their autonomy. During the Middle Kingdom, (2040-2640 B.C.E.) the Pharaohs were able to exert some control over these areas, but never to the extent that had previously existed. Invasions from the Hyskos, who used bronze weapons as opposed to the wooden weapons of the Egyptians, caused resentment among powerful Egyptian nobles who caused a revolt. The Hyskos were eventually expelled, but again with a loss of power to the Pharoah. Ultimately, about 700 B.C.E. Kushite and Assyrian armies invaded Egypt. The Kushites were eventually expelled; but the Assyrians ruled Egypt for almost 100 years before their own empire collapsed.

text: drought Despite Recent Rains, Kansas Crops and Pastures Suffer By Associated Press • Jul 23, 2013 Spotty rain showers across much of the state this week were too little to improve drought conditions in western Kansas. The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that dryland farm crops and pastures are still suffering from lack of rain. The agency said it has received reports of failed corn and sorghum crops in areas missed by the rain, as well as fields damaged by hail or wind.

The program starts Monday and runs through December 31. As Drought Drags On, Fish Species Are Disappearing By Associated Press • Jun 7, 2013 A Kansas State University researcher says the prolonged North American drought is taking a toll on some species of fish and affecting their long-term viability.Biology professor Keith Gido says a few species have disappeared, including the silver chub that was once found in a southern Kansas river.He said a survey found 300 of the fish in the summer of 2011 but only three in 2012 - and none in a sampling this spring. 7 Questions (And Answers) About Wichita's Water Future (Updated) By Carla Eckels • Jun 3, 2013 r. Vore / flickr Creative Commons Updated a 11:03 a.m. There was a significant development this weekend with water levels at Cheney Reservoir. Last Thursday's storm created heavy drainage into the lake, causing the level to rise from 64 percent last Thursday to 72 percent on Saturday. As of Monday morning, Cheney is up more than 13,000 acre feet of water since before the rain event last Thursday. Drought Slows Farm Income Growth Down In First Quarter By Associated Press • May 16, 2013 The Federal Reserve says farm income growth slowed across the Plains and western states in the first quarter, as costs increased and the drought lingered. Bankers expect farm income to weaken further in the region during the second quarter. But land values continued to increase in the first quarter on top of several years of significant growth. Cropland values rose 20 percent over 2012, and ranchland values grew 14 percent. The 10th Federal Reserve District covers Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado, northern New Mexico and western Missouri. Wichita Fountains Could Dry Up This Summer By Associated Press • May 6, 2013 A drought-induced water shortage could force Wichita officials to idle the city's fountain systems this summer.City Manager Robert Layton says water use across all city operations is under review.City officials say Cheney Reservoir could dry up by mid-2015 if the drought continues, and the city would no longer have enough water to meet demand if that happens.

Ranch Tour Will Focus On Drought, Cattle Grazing By Associated Press • Apr 26, 2013 Kansas farm groups will host a ranch tour next month, focusing on drought and how to best manage resources in the upcoming grazing season. The tour will take place on May 11 at the Ted Alexander Ranch, 19 miles west of Medicine Lodge.The Alexander ranch covers 7,000 acres in the heart of the Red Hills in Barber County. The operation typically stocks between 500 and 700 cow-calf pairs or 2,500 yearlings on a rotational grazing method. April Showers Reducing Drought In Some Areas By Stephen Koranda • Apr 25, 2013 Eastern Kansas has been running above average for rainfall during April, which is improving drought conditions in some areas. Mary Knapp is the state climatologist. Kan. Farmers Welcome Rain, Start Planting Spring Crops By Associated Press • Apr 9, 2013 Kansas farmers are getting ready to seed their spring crops, with a few fields of corn already planted in eastern sections. The latest report by the Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service also said spring calving is nearly finished in the state. Livestock producers are still worried about having enough stock water. Supplies are reported as "adequate" in just 36 percent of Kansas. South-central Kansas got some welcomed rain in the past week. But drought-stricken pastures have yet to recover statewide, with 77 percent now reported in poor to very poor condition. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next › last »

Question about Office Equipment & Supplies
Posted by nanmeck on
i could not follow the instructions. I need more detail. What are RX settings and how do I get to them?
You say the machine will be forced to print. What will it print?
Try these steps:
Receive Mode Setting
On the operation panel, press the following buttons to select the appropriate receive mode.
FAX ONLY MODE: When you want to receive only faxes automatically with your machine, or have a dedicated telephone line for FAX use only.
MANUAL MODE: When you receive mainly voice calls and sometimes faxes, or want to receive faxes manually.
ANS MACHINE MODE: When you want to receive voice messages on your answering machine and receive faxes automatically.
FAX/TEL AUTO SW: When you want to receive faxes automatically as well as voice calls.
DRPD: When you have subscribed to a DRPD service with your telephone company.
Posted on Feb 27, 2009
Just reset settings, you can do this from the menu or just unplugging printer power cord for ten minutes.
If the machine still does not send faxes test it on a different phone outlet and test a replacement phone cable.
Posted on Feb 27, 2009
Start by unpluging the fac wait a minute or to and plug it back in. See if it helps.
Posted on Feb 27, 2009
On the RX settings change the option settings - set whether the fac prints out received documents even when the ink level is low.
It should force the fax to print right away, see if that helps.
It will print the Fax.
Press menu
Then select User settings by pressing the down and up arrows.
Then select RX settings again by pressing the same buttons
in rx settings you need to find option settings, and turn it on.
after you have enabled this setting the fax will print the received fax instead of storing it on the memory, if it doesn't print it after this adjustment there is another one we will have to adjust. But please adjust this first and get back to me.

The issue of appointment of Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University has again reached the apex court with a former student knocking its doors.
A petitioner Abrar Ahmad has challenged the process of the appointment of new Vice Chancellor alleging that the university has no regard for the UGC regulations.
Lawyer Prashant Bhushan, who is arguing the case, said: "The Vice Chancellor is doing everything disregarding the law of the land."
Supreme Court will hear this matter on Monday.
Interestingly, the Executive Council is meeting on Saturday to select a panel of five names for the post of Vice Chancellor. This list of contenders will be sent to the AMU court which in turn will vote to recommend three names to the President of India who is also the visitor of the university. The Court will vote on the panel of names on April 7.
This process of selection of new VC – which was initiated by the current Vice Chancellor Zameeruddin Shah last week – has now been challenged in the Supreme Court.
The petitioner has alleged that the AMU administration has started the process of selection of new VC disregarding the UGC regulations. AMU has refused to follow the UGC regulation saying it has its own statutes and not bound to follow the UGC regulations.
The UGC regulation says that a VC should be an academic with minimum ten years of teaching experience. But, insiders say, AMU wants to appoint the current Pro-Vice Chancellor Brigadier Syed Ahmad Ali who is from army background and has no teaching experience. Therefore, Vice Chancellor Zameeruddin Shah is leaving no stone unturned to empanel brigadier Ali's name.
OKHLATIMES could not confirm this development officially. However, AMU's PRO Rahat Abrar told OKHLATIMES that whatever the university is doing is within the ambit of law. On being asked about whether it is not violating UGC regulation, he said: "We are working as per our Act. The VC is appointment is defined in the statutes."

The Lakefront Trail is one of Chicago's best attractions. It runs north and south parallel and to the east of Lake Shore Drive. You can walk it, skate it, bike it or use Divvy bikes along the way. And the best part is it's FREE. From north to south it's 18.5 miles. The south portion is approximately 8 miles. Keep in mind the trail is very crowded on weekends with walkers, runners, leisure and professional bikers, inattentive texters, dogs and strollers, etc. South of the Museum Campus the trail is much less crowded. Below are things to see and links to things to see along the trail or adjacent to the trail. Check out this Chicago Park District guide also (it takes forever to load). If you're interested in heading north check out Exploring Chicago's Lakefront Trail North.
We've provided the location of Divvy stations as of this writing and also provide an "exit strategy" to get you to a street where you can catch a bus or train back downtown. You might want to have the Divvy app since stations are being added or may change. Map Guide to Divvy bikes.
So put on some comfortable shoes, grab the sunscreen and some bottles of water and enjoy.

Back in 2003, a controversial Rolling Stone article and a provocative documentary, entitled The Gift, introduced most of the world to a subculture known as "bug chasers." Named after a colloquial term for HIV/AIDS, bug chasers are supposedly a subset of the actively condom-rejecting "barebacking" subculture, in which HIV-negative men use online forums to seek out HIV-positive men for unprotected sex, some even seeking infection, or "sero-conversion."
Chasing was considered an established phenomenon in some circles for years before the 2003 Rolling Stone article: Bug chasing seems to show up in academic literature by at least 1997. Yet the big (and bunk) claims made in the Rolling Stone article, such as the fact that conscious and "unconscious" chasers caused up to 25 percent of gay HIV infections per year, launched a massive debate on the subculture. Some have argued that bug chasing is basically an invention — an extreme minority that has been oversold to a paranoid-to-homophobic world, or a misinterpretation of HIV-positive men seeking other HIV-positive men to engage in fantasy. Some insist bug chasing is real, but disagree as to why they pursue sex with HIV-positive men. The debate only rages on as idiosyncratic profiles of individual chasers emerge here and there, or when they appear in episodes of ER or Queer as Folk.
Yet for all the speculation and limited profiles, few academics have tried to tackle chasing — to figure out if it's a real phenomenon, or an invented paranoia. And if it's real, to figure out the overarching, community-wide allure of this sexual proclivity, beyond case-by-case analyses.
Dr. David Moskowitz, an assistant professor of epidemiology at New York Medical College is one of the few academics who has taken a wide-eye view of the chaser community. Below are his studied insights on the divisive culture, which he says exists, but as an ever-smaller minority.
"I started working on bug chasing in 2005, as part of my Masters thesis. I'd come across it from reading the Rolling Stone article. I said, 'Wow, this is crazy.' I was very interested in HIV disclosure. So I said: 'Let's see what's going on here. Did they just find the one person who was doing this or is this a real subculture that exists?'
My initial project involved looking at bug-chaser profiles versus barebacker profiles. I think it was on barebackcity.com, which I doubt exists now. When my study came out, I think they either got closed down or morphed into some new iteration. I grabbed 150 chaser profiles, 150 barebacker profiles and explored the differences between these two groups.
[We found] that bug chasers were behaviorally different than barebackers. It wasn't just [looking for HIV-positive partners for HIV-negative men], it was in things like sexual submission, their interest in use of drugs during sex, like methamphetamines. This was a group [that was] taking things to the next level. [They're] tremendous sensation seekers where it's not enough to just have the unprotected sex. They need the drugs, they need the idea of sero-converting along with the actual physical pleasure of it. It's adding a level of risk, where they've exhausted everything else that they could do.
I'd read another article about a homeless guy who was looking to get infected so that he could have a community of [HIV-positive] people and more social support. But I just didn't find any concrete evidence for that besides a few people who probably have a few psychological issues going on. For 95 percent of cases, we've got people who are looking for a more intense experience, and adding HIV into the mix does that for them. But that's a convenient explanation, to say, oh I'm looking for a community, rather than, oh I like to huff poppers and do methamphetamines on the weekends.
For 95 percent of cases, we've got people who are looking for a more intense experience, and adding HIV into the mix does that for them
There was also another hypothesis that said that people were pursuing bug chasing because they saw HIV-positive men as reaching a sexual nirvana because they could do anything they wanted to do [with no fear of further consequences]. I did a study of HIV-positive men, and it turned out that they were no more likely to actualize their sexual desires than HIV-negative men. So that was nonsense, but I suppose people believe whatever they want to believe.
Nobody has ever contacted me [from the chaser community about my work]. I think it's because you're talking about a fraction of a fraction here. Maybe 10 percent of gay-bi men are barebackers. And maybe 10 percent of them are bug chasers or interested in [it] at least. I think either people didn't want to identify as a bug chaser, or just didn't read what we were writing. It was in an academic journal. But other people have done research on this, too, and I don't think they've gotten any flack for it [either]. And I probably wasn't saying anything too earthshattering for them. I also think that people not contacting me and trying to correct the conclusions that I made might kind of prove that those conclusions were not wrong.
There's HIV fetishism just because it's such an enormous taboo. It's just something out there that some people might find erotic
I think it's just another fetish. And I think it's also a little bit dated, to be honest. [Now] negative men take Trevada, which is an anti-retroviral, which inhibits their ability to sero-convert. Or positive men who are undetectable because they're on a regimen. All of these things didn't exist 10 years ago, or were poorly understood 10 years ago. I suppose bug chasing can still be real now because people can always end up sero-converting, but there are [now] techniques where people can play around with sero-discordant sex without the ramifications that it used to have.
There's HIV fetishism just because it's such an enormous taboo. It's just something out there that some people might find erotic. I'd be curious to see how many people are [now] looking at sero-discordant partners who are also [on preventative regimens] — so they like the idea of it but not the actuality of [getting infected]." —Dr. David Moskowitz
Editor's Note: This is part one of Liberty's coverage of a subculture of so-called "bug chasers," HIV-negative men who seek out HIV-positive men for unprotected sex, some even seeking infection, or "sero-conversion." You can read part two here.

Broken touch screen on Nuvi 610T.
How can I fix it?
Posted on Oct 14, 2008
SOURCE: unlock code for my garmin nuvi 350
Unfortunately, even if you perform master reset on Garmin GPS unit, it does not reset Garmin Lock security feature, which password-protect most Garmin electronic devices to deter theft. If you forget the PIN or password unlock code to unlock the Garmin unit, the best solution is to bring it to Garmin to get unlocked. "Secure Location" does not unlock a locked Garmin unit either as it's only a temporary fix as when it's turn on outside the security location, the device is locked again."
So unfortunately, there is only one option: You have to send your nüvi into the Garmin, who can unlock it. Remember original receipt.

Connect your Nuvi to a PC using a USB and then hold the switch to the left for 15 seconds. It should then power up after a soft reset

The only way to get this unlocked is to send it back to garmin with proof of purchase. Reason is that these items are commonly stolen and Garmin does not want to support criminal activity.

ELEANOR HALL: Two new genetic studies reveal that some of the diseases that afflict us today were picked up from Neanderthals.
Research published in the British journal Nature and in the US journal Science find traces of Neanderthal DNA in the human genome, as Rachael Brown reports.
RACHAEL BROWN: Neanderthals became extinct around 30,000 years ago.
But they interbred with our ancestors, so scientists have been keen to discover if any genetic codes have been passed on.
Turns out they have, about 2 to 4 per cent - that's if you're non-African as indigenous Africans didn't interbreed with Neanderthals of Europe or Asia.
The latest research shows Neanderthal DNA influence on humans is not evenly distributed across the human genome, they're concentrated in places and absent in others.
Sriram Sankararaman from Harvard Medical School is the lead author of the paper in Nature.
He says genes passed on are ones that influence the production of keratin.
SRIRAM SANKARARAMAN: It leads us to the speculation that Neanderthals were living in these environments, in these Eurasian environments, for hundreds of thousands of years and so they had genetics that were adapted to these environments and as modern humans exited Africa and moved into the same environments the genes that they got from the Neanderthals would have helped them to adapt to these environments.
RACHAEL BROWN: How does keratin help that adaption?
SRIRAM SANKARARAMAN: Keratin is a protein that's found in your skin, your hair, in sweat glands so there could be multiple different ways in which it might help you to adapt to cooler climates in Eurasia. It might have something to do with regulating body heat.
RACHAEL BROWN: Neanderthals frequently get a bad rap.
Our prehistoric cousins are thought to have passed on modern afflictions like addiction to smoking, long term depression, and a genetically higher risk for type-2 diabetes, Crohn's disease and lupus.
Professor Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London explains.
CHRIS STRINGER: We're talking about a population that was much more different than any people today are from each other and perhaps that's triggering for example, immune reactions, some auto immune diseases, maybe being affected by this presence of alien, if we can call it alien, DNA
RACHAEL BROWN: But what hasn't been passed on, it seems, are genes connected to fertility.
Associate Professor Jeremy Austin works at Adelaide University's Australian Centre for Ancient DNA.
JEREMY AUSTIN: And the hypothesis here is that the early hybrids, or the crosses between Neanderthals and modern humans, the males in particular were infertile and so they couldn't pass that mixture of modern human and Neanderthal DNA on to their offspring and so that Neanderthal DNA was lost from those particular areas of the genome.
RACHAEL BROWN: Professor Austin says it's likely as more human genomes are sequenced, more comparisons will be made with Neanderthals.
He says it will help anthropologists better understand evolution and our ancestor's genetic contributions to modern health and disease
JEREMY AUSTIN: Yeah, there's all sorts of side-effects of interbreeding between modern humans and Neanderthals, or modern humans and Denisovans, and they could have had unexpected result in terms of human health, prevalence to disease and genetic disorders.
And again, I think as more and more genomes get sequenced and the analysis gets more and more detailed, we'll be able to try and tease apart issues with the human genome that are actually related to this hybridisation that happened tens of thousands of years ago.
ELEANOR HALL: Fascinating. Professor, Jeremy Austin, from the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA at Adelaide University, ending that report by Rachael Brown.

T.I. has some harsh words for George Zimmerman verdict
Rapper T.I. has applauded the parents of slain teen Trayvon Martin for their restraint, because he would be on trial now and facing prison time if Neighbourhood Watch vigilante George Zimmerman had killed his son. Zimmerman was acquitted of murdering the 17 year old in early July (13) – a verdict that sparked protests across America, and prompted many leading African-American human rights leaders and celebrities to speak out.
And now the What You Know hitmaker has revealed his reaction to the acquittal would have been very different to that of Martin's father.
He explains, "Man, it was some bulls**t. My hat goes off to the Martin family, because if it was me and my child, there wouldn't have been no trial…
"I'd have been on trial. It would've been the trial of the father who killed the man who killed (my child). That would have been my story. My hat goes off because (the Martin family) are much more clear and level-headed thinkers than (myself).
"It's just another harsh reminder the world that we live in is as imperfect as God promised us it would be."

Tethys: Oil Flows at Kazakh Well
Tethys provided an operational update on its activities in Kazakhstan.
- Exploration well AKD03 well tests commercial oil in secondary target
- Sandstone unit in Upper Jurassic opens up a new play within the Greater Doris area
- Doris appraisal wells AKD04 and AKD05 progressing as planned with AKD04 expected to reach total depth by early May 2011 and AKD05 by the end of May 2011. These are the first wells to be drilled based on the new 3D seismic dataset
- Kul-Bas exploration well KBD01 to reach total depth in June/July 2011
The AKD03 ("Dione") exploration well, which is located approximately 10 km to the south-west of the AKD01 Doris discovery well (on a separate prospect), reached its total depth of 3,975 meters in January 2011. A comprehensive testing program commenced in March 2011 upon approval by the Kazakh State. Recent testing of a sandstone unit within the Upper Jurassic of AKD03 flowed at rates of over 400 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") of 43 degree API oil over the interval 2,506-2,520 meters on a 12mm choke with no water being produced on test and no depletion observed. This interval was not included in the recent reserves report produced by McDaniel and has opened up a new play within the Greater Doris area that will form an additional target in current and future exploration and appraisal wells, including AKD04 and AKD05.
The well is now being prepared to test the Upper Jurassic carbonate interval that flowed on the original AKD01 Doris Discovery well, with results expected in early May 2011. This test will be followed by the testing of the good quality potentially oil bearing Cretaceous sandstone interval (which is similar to the main reservoir zone in the AKD01 well) and which shows the best reservoir properties of the zones being tested.
The AKD04 ("Dero") well is located to the east of the Doris crest in order to test the continuation of the structure there. The well is currently at a depth of 1,665 meters and is drilling ahead with a planned total depth of approximately 2,550 meters expected to be reached by early May at which time a full suite of electric logs will be run and casing set, prior to testing.
The AKD05 Doris appraisal well is being drilled immediately up-dip of the AKD01 well and will be targeting both the Lower Cretaceous (Aptian) sandstones and Jurassic carbonates that were successfully tested in AKD01, as well as a possible third, overlying, horizon in the Middle Cretaceous (Albian) sandstone horizon. The well is at a current depth of 568 meters and is drilling ahead. Drilling will continue to a planned total depth of 2,500 meters, which should be reached in the latter part of May.
The KBD01 ("Kalypso") exploration well is located approximately 50 km to the north-west of the Doris oil discovery. The well is drilling ahead after recently setting casing at a depth of 1,398 meters. The planned total depth of this well is approximately 4,000 meters, which is expected to be reached at the end of June / early July.
This well targets potential reservoirs at several stratigraphic levels from the Cretaceous to the Permo-Carboniferous. The KBD01 well is the first deep exploration well to be drilled by the Company on the Kul-Bas Block, which also contains several other attractive prospects.
The Upper Jurassic carbonate intervals in both the AKD02 ("Doris NW") appraisal well and the G6RE ("Dodone") exploration well await testing with the application of radial drilling technology which is forecast to be in June 2011 when the equipment arrives on site. Further testing of these wells will be dependent on the results of the radial drilling.
An application has now been made to the Kazakh government for the next well to be drilled after AKD04, which is planned to be located on the Doto prospect south-west of Doris.
Drilling and testing operations have been delayed somewhat by prolonged Spring breakout and extremely muddy and poor road conditions. These conditions have particularly affected the disposal of drill cuttings that until last week were being transported a significant distance to a disposal site in order to conform to Kazakh environmental regulations. Now with the recent completion of a third party environmental disposal facility for drill cuttings located much closer to the drill sites, the efficiency of the disposal process has greatly improved and also therefore the efficiency of the drilling operations. The facility is now operational and weather conditions have also significantly improved.
Despite the recent poor road conditions, work is proceeding well on the Doris Pilot Oil Production Project, aimed at significantly increasing oil production from the field with the initial target to be producing some 3,000 bopd by the end of June 2011.
In addition Tethys has now been informed by the Ministry of Oil and Gas of the Republic of Kazakhstan ("MOG") that it has included Tethys' Kazakh subsidiaries, TethysAralGaz LLP and Kul-Bas LLP, on its list of subsoil users which comply with the recent new rules on Kazakh content. Tethys has worked hard with the appropriate Kazakh authorities to ensure compliance with these rules and is very pleased to be one of the few subsoil users who currently comply.

Novartis Helps Raise Greater Awareness of Unique Challenges Faced by Women with MS
April 22, 2016
It′s no secret that those diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) encounter many challenges that can greatly impact the overall quality of life. Women, in particular, are deeply affected at work and at home.
To learn more about these challenges and help identify key areas where women may require additional support, Novartis partnered with the Working Mother Research Institute (WMRI) and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) to conduct a survey of more than 1,200 working women who have been diagnosed with MS. Of those surveyed, 95% have relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).
Highlights of the Women and MS survey include:
- While 95% of survey participants are employed (77% full-time), a large majority (71%) worry about their ability to continue working. Still, 64% report feeling optimistic about their ability to continue working.
- 40% of working women with MS say adjusting their work schedules helps them cope with their MS – of these, 38% reduce their hours and one-third work a flexible schedule.
- 60% of women surveyed say they have tried to hide their MS symptoms at work; however, 61% say they are comfortable discussing their symptoms with their friends at work and 59% are comfortable talking to their supervisor. Additionally, only 39% say their boss is interested in helping them manage their symptoms at work.
"As a leading partner to this community, we are committed to providing resources and support to help people with MS advocate for themselves to better meet their needs at home and in the workplace," said Christi Shaw, US Country Head, President of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. "We are thrilled that this report has provided our company the opportunity to help raise even greater awareness of the challenges unique to women living with MS as they work to balance the stresses of building careers and raising families."
MS affects more than 400,000 people in the United States, with nearly four times as many women having the disease versus men. Please see the links below for the full report and additional information on the survey results.

Austin was the winner of the challenge. He gained immunity for the next challenge.
Daniel was the 1st designer eliminated.
Morgan, Kara Saun's model, was an hour late for her fitting, giving Kara only an hour to prepare her for the runway show. Her excuse- her mother, who usually wakes her up, was out of town. As a result of her irresponsibility, she was dropped by her agency.
None of the models were eliminated in this episode.
Daniel's goof was not doing more with his outfit. Even though he spent a lot of time perfecting it, in the end his design still resembled garbage bags and butcher paper.
Robert: Wendy's great. I like to call her mom, cause she treats us like we're her kids, which is great.
Wendy: (shopping for the first challenge) I shop every day of my life. I have never approached a grocery store with fear.
Tim Gunn: There's a seduction about Daniel. When you're within three feet of him you get into his orbit, and you believe, but when you step back you look at what he's done and you ask yourself, 'What is that?!'
Daniel: If you believe in theatrics, then there are a lot of designers for you to choose from. However, you know, if you believe in honor, dignity, integrity... If you believe in artistic credence and if you believe in artistic honesty, and if you believ in following your bliss, then I'm Daniel Franco, and I'd like to wish you bliss.
Robert: Sports cars are like women. They're both sleek, sexy and extremely dangerous.
Daniel saved some money on his materials by signing up for a frequent shopper card at the store.
The guest judge was Patricia Field, the clothing designer for the TV show Sex and the City.
Daniel: (referring to his design) I'm imbuing the spirits of Picasso and Marcel DuChamp.
Marcel DuChamp was a French-American artist associated with Surrealism and cubism.
Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor, co-founder of cubism.
Daniel: (in a New York accent) Mary, you're hired!
Daniel was pretending to be Donald Trump on his TV show The Apprentice.

Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one individual can embrace it.
Botanical name: Adansonia digitata
No tree in Africa embodies the spirit of Africa more than the baobab with its bulbous branches and gnarled bark. Otherwise known as Africa's 'big tree', the baobab is revered in African culture for many different reasons.
In ancient times kings, elders and leaders would hold meetings under huge baobabs to discuss matters of great importance. Not only did the trees provide shelter, but the tribal leaders also believed that the spirit of the baobab would always help them make wise decisions.

It only really becomes clear to most of us when we go to sign a contract: there is another language in America. It's called "legalese" and is used by corporate government and court professionals to manage the people. This language is foreign to most of us and so we need the services of a trained interpreter to understand it. The interpreters are British Esquires, signified by "Esq." after their names, and are registered in the British Aristocratic (some say Accredited) Registry as attorneys. This is why they are called "B. A. R." attorneys. Their dictionary is called Black's Law Dictionary.
There are "legal" words that are common to both languages but have very different meanings. And this can be very confusing. Meanings, in many cases, have been adjusted so we believe we're saying one thing but are really saying something else. This causes us to agree to things we aren't aware of agreeing to and what gives the "interpreters" of so-called law power over us.
For this reason, some of us have opted to use Merriam-Webster or some other general dictionary when communicating regarding Common Law issues. Common Law, in my opinion, should use common language -- from the same dictionary as everyone else. Enough of this divide-and-conquer nonsense.
What do you think?
Absolute love,
Cindy Kay

Windows Phone 7 has been out nearly a month in the US and almost twice as long in much of Europe and we've not heard any official numbers on what the sales figures are. What little we have heard from unofficial sources doesn't sound too good.The first indication of any volumes came from The Street via a market research report. It claimed that only 40,000 units moved the first day it was on sale in the US. I've not seen anything since to substantiate or refute that claim, so I take it with a grain of salt right now.
Next up comes some anecdotal evidence from a mobile phone retail location in the UK. Mobilesplease claims that they have been selling Android devices over Windows Phone 7 devices 15:1 since the later's launch. What we don't know is how many models of each platform they sell, the comparative price points or any other detailed information. That said, this is still a negative indicator for Microsoft's latest platform.
What really tells me though that there is a problem is that Microsoft isn't releasing any sales figures. Now, one might argue that Microsoft doesn't traditionally release such figures, or generally does so when it publishes its quarterly financial data. The problem with that line of reasoning is Microsoft is going against it with their publication of Kinect sales figures.
The Kinect for the Xbox 360 launched recently and Microsoft has been falling all over itself to get those sales figures out there. In 25 days, Microsoft moved 2.5 million units according to a press release earlier this week.
Again, none of this is definitive, but none of it points to good news for Microsoft. It doesn't mean the platform is on the way out. Far from it. Microsoft has committed half a billion dollars to marketing the platform and it is viewed as an integral part of Microsoft's future. Anyone that compares WP7 to the fate of the Kin doesn't understand the differences between the two platforms. Digitimes is also claiming that Microsoft will move to 5.1 percent of the total phone market. While that is still in the minority, when sales are projected at 350 million smartphones for next year, 5.1 percent is nearly 18 million phones.
I am certain Microsoft is in this for the long haul. It just seems they might need to hunker down and prepare for a rough period until the platform gains traction.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The surname Torbocke is based on the ancient Norman given name Terbert.
Torbocke Early Origins
Lancashire where they held a family seat from very ancient times at Tarbock, after the Norman Conquest in 1066. They were descended from the Baron Richard, brother of Sir Robert Fitzhenry, founder of Burscough Priory. " Henry de Tarbock or Torbock, who was early the lord of Tarbock, Roby, Huyton, Knowsley, and other manors, had two sons. The elder of these, Robert, was sometimes distinguished by the Norman patronymic FitzHenry, which the English rendered Harrison, and sometimes was denominated from his principal residence, de Lathom; while Richard, the other son, inheriting Tarbock, designated himself from that estate."

Torbocke Spelling Variations
Torbocke Spelling Variations
Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, Norman French and other languages became incorporated into English throughout the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Torbocke include Tarbock, Tarbocks, Tarbox, Tirebuck, Torbock, Tarbuck, Tarbux and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In England at this time, the uncertainty of the political and religious environment of the time caused many families to board ships for distant British colonies in the hopes of finding land and opportunity, and escaping persecution. The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Torbockes to arrive on North American shores: Mary Tarbuck settled in Maryland in 1745; Richard Tarbutt settled in Virginia in 1663; John Tarbux settled in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1631.
