Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life,
Practical Explanation ( For Example ) :- `1st of all can you tell me every single seconds detail from that time when you born ?? ( i need every seconds detail ?? that what- what you have thought and done on every single second )
can you tell me every single detail of your `1 cheapest Minute Or your whole hour, day, week, month, year or your whole life ??
if you are not able to tell me about this life then what proof do you have that you didn't forget your past ? and that you will not forget this present life in the future ?
that is Fact that Supreme Lord Krishna exists but we posses no such intelligence to understand him.
there is also next life. and i already proved you that no scientist, no politician, no so-called intelligent man in this world is able to understand this Truth. cuz they are imagining. and you cannot imagine what is god, who is god, what is after life etc.
for example :Your father existed before your birth. you cannot say that before your birth your father don,t exists.
So you have to ask from mother, "Who is my father?" And if she says, "This gentleman is your father," then it is all right. It is easy.
Otherwise, if you makes research, "Who is my father?" go on searching for life; you'll never find your father.
( now maybe...maybe you will say that i will search my father from D.N.A, or i will prove it by photo's, or many other thing's which i will get from my mother and prove it that who is my Real father.{ So you have to believe the authority. who is that authority ? she is your mother. you cannot claim of any photo's, D.N.A or many other things without authority ( or ur mother ).
if you will show D.N.A, photo's, and many other proofs from other women then your mother. then what is use of those proofs ??} )
same you have to follow real authority. "Whatever You have spoken, I accept it," Then there is no difficulty. And You are accepted by Devala, Narada, Vyasa, and You are speaking Yourself, and later on, all the acaryas have accepted. Then I'll follow.
I'll have to follow great personalities. The same reason mother says, this gentleman is my father. That's all. Finish business. Where is the necessity of making research? All authorities accept Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You accept it; then your searching after God is finished.
Why should you waste your time?
all that is you need is to hear from authority ( same like mother ). and i heard this truth from authority " Srila Prabhupada " he is my spiritual master.
im not talking these all things from my own.
in this world no `1 can be Peace full. this is all along Fact.
cuz we all are suffering in this world 4 Problems which are Disease, Old age, Death, and Birth after Birth.
tell me are you really happy ?? you can,t be happy if you will ignore these 4 main problem. then still you will be Forced by Nature.
if you really want to be happy then follow these 6 Things which are No illicit sex, No gambling, No drugs ( No tea & coffee ), No meat-eating ( No onion & garlic's )
5th thing is whatever you eat `1st offer it to Supreme Lord Krishna. ( if you know it what is Guru parama-para then offer them food not direct Supreme Lord Krishna )
and 6th " Main Thing " is you have to Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare ".
If your not able to follow these 4 things no illicit sex, no gambling, no drugs, no meat-eating then don,t worry but chanting of this holy name ( Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra ) is very-very and very important.
Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare " and be happy.
if you still don,t believe on me then chant any other name for 5 Min's and chant this holy name for 5 Min's and you will see effect. i promise you it works And chanting at least 16 rounds ( each round of 108 beads ) of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra daily.
Here is no Question of Holy Books quotes, Personal Experiences, Faith or Belief. i accept that Sometimes Faith is also Blind. Here is already Practical explanation which already proved that every`1 else in this world is nothing more then Busy Foolish and totally idiot.
every `1 is already Blind in this world and if you will follow another Blind then you both will fall in hole. so try to follow that person who have Spiritual Eyes who can Guide you on Actual Right Path. ( my Authority & Guide is my Spiritual Master " Srila Prabhupada " )
if you want to see Actual Purpose of human life then see this link : ( asitis.com {Bookmark it })
read it complete. ( i promise only readers of this book that they { he/she } will get every single answer which they want to know about why im in this material world, who im, what will happen after this life, what is best thing which will make Human Life Perfect, and what is perfection of Human Life. ) purpose of human life is not to live like animal cuz every`1 at present time doing 4 thing which are sleeping, eating, sex & fear. purpose of human life is to become freed from Birth after birth, Old Age, Disease, and Death.

Re: Here is Practical Explanation about Next Life,
Should be amusing then.
It's not too far from the abrahamic faiths really.
"Our God is so far beyond you that you can't possibly comprehend him"
"Oh but he absolutely detests sexual naughtiness and this long and...oddly specific list of other behaviours, conveniently mirroring the mores of the local culture"
Yeah, a transcendent being who deeply cares that humans drink fermented grain products and eat other animals. Totally convincing ^_^

U.S. Department of Labor
Wage and Hour Division
Release Number: 13-2086-DAL
US Labor Department investigation finds nearly $79,000 in back wages due MCM Elegante and MCM Grande Hotel employees in New Mexico and Texas
Employees in Albuquerque and in Abilene, Beaumont, Dallas, DeSoto and Odessa, Texas, affected
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- MCM Elegante and MCM Grande Hotels in Albuquerque and Texas have paid $78,876 in overtime back wages to 200 dishwashers, bartenders, wait staff, bellmen, housekeeping and maintenance workers following an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division that found overtime, minimum wage and record-keeping violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Employees in Albuquerque and Abilene, Beaumont, Dallas, DeSoto and Odessa, Texas, were not properly paid wages they were due. The hotels are owned by HTL Operating LLC, based in Odessa.
"The hotel industry employs large numbers of low-wage, vulnerable workers," said Cynthia Watson, regional administrator for the Wage and Hour Division in the Southwest. "Despite the often luxurious settings, we find workers often subject to unjust treatment and wage violations. The department remains vigilant in its commitment to ensure these employees receive every penny they rightfully earn. Our enforcement protects not only the workers, but also the employers who play by the rules and deserve a level playing field."
As a result of this investigation, HTL Operating LLC agreed to comply with the FLSA at all of its locations. It will pay the back wages found due in full. Investigators found that the MCM Elegante and MCM Grande Hotels paid housekeeping staff a flat rate per room cleaned, without regard to the number of hours worked. When these employees worked more than 40 hours in a week, the employers continued to pay only this flat rate, failing to pay overtime at one and one-half times the employees' regular rates of pay, as required by the FLSA. A housekeeper paid $3 per room, cleaning three rooms per hour, would earn $450 for a 50-hour week at the piece rate, without overtime. The employee would legally be due $495, a shortage of $45.
The employers also failed to pay proper overtime to servers when they based their overtime rates on time and one-half their direct cash wages, rather than the full minimum wage. Tipped employees may be paid as little as $2.13 per hour directly by the employer, provided that they collect enough in tips to earn the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Overtime must be computed on the full minimum wage. Additionally, the hotels failed to include incentive pay they had paid to employees in their regular rates of pay when computing overtime, and failed to maintain accurate records of employees' wages and work hours, as required by the FLSA.
The division is concerned about the severity of noncompliance in this industry and is concentrating its resources on identifying and remedying violations, informing workers of their rights and providing compliance assistance to employers. Since 2009, the division has conducted more than 4,000 investigations of hotel and motel employers, resulting in more than $12.4 million in back wages recovered for more than 23,000 workers nationwide.
The FLSA requires that covered, nonexempt employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for all hours worked, plus time and one-half their regular rates, including commissions, bonuses and incentive pay, for hours worked beyond 40 per week. Additionally, employers must maintain accurate time and payroll records. For more information about federal wage laws, call the Wage and Hour Division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243) or its Albuquerque District Office at 505-248-6100.

DUBLIN — Three location residents who see traffic and development as major issues have been picked for four-year terms on the city's Planning Commission.
Arun Goel, Rameet Kohli and Lynna Do got the nod for the terms on the commission, a five-member panel that reviews local development plans and policies. The selections were approved unanimously last week by the Dublin City Council.
Goel, a civil engineer, works as a project controls engineer for the Alameda County Transportation Commission. He is active in the county's Safe Routes to School program for children to walk and bicycle to class.
Kohli has worked for the U.S. Congress and served on Dublin's human services task force.
The three were picked out of a field of 11 applicants for the Planning Commission. The seats opened up after Commissioners Bill Schaub and Doreen Wehrenberg were termed out of office and Alan Brown did not seek reappointment.
In related actions, the City Council reappointed Steven Minniear and Dayna Tutino to the city heritage and cultural arts commission. Richard Deets and Brian Olkowski were also appointed to the commission. The council also reappointed Anthony Totaro to the city parks and community services commission and appointed Mona Lisa Ballesteros to her first term on the panel.

Comparing the 2012 Astros' Position Players to the League Average
Bill Brown asked my name and I couldn't help but grin from ear to ear like a 10 year old. It brought back the nostalgia of walking into the Astrodome when I was a kid, memories of orange folding chairs with huge cushions, and up close views of Kevin Bass and Jose Cruz at the plate seen through binoculars. I was young and simply enjoyed being there; a fan of the spectacle not yet involved in the love affair to come. It reminded me of an innocence that I will never have again. But part of that innocence lives on every season in positivity of possibility. It had me so ready for the season to begin that it was hard for me to look back at last year, a year that was the lowest of lows in the Astros' franchise relative to the major league club. But I did look back, and with an eye to the average player.
Recently I came across the numbers of the league average slash line of batting average/on base percentage/and slugging for every defensive position aside from pitcher from the 2012 season. Most people hear the word average and think not very good, but in the baseball world average is actually pretty good. These numbers are a compilation of at bats from anyone who played the position and swung the bat. Some of the numbers I have put together are slightly skewed by the fact I could no locate a position per at bat break down. So I had to lump in some players total at bats for one position, even though they contributed at multiple spots. However, the biggest chunks of AB's for each position were accounted for accurately, so that the numbers should only be slightly skewed.
League: .248/.318/.400
Houston: .234/.313/.386
The catching platoon of Snyder and Castro were fairly close to league average last season. However, Snyder hit a lowly .176 compared to a .257 average from Jason Castro and a .269 average from limited ab's from Carlos Corporan. So if Castro can have more plate appearances this year and Corporan can provide as a serviceable back up, Houston should have a better showing at the catching position in 2013.
League: .262/.336/.442
Houston: .266/.306/.428
Although I was not able to identify every AB at every position, I was able to only include the Houston at bats from players who were traded during the season. Carlos Lee, B. Wallace, and Scott Moore made up the majority of the AB's I used for the 1B position. Moore out slugged and got on base at a higher clip than Wallace and Lee but Lee hit for a better average than the Wallace and Moore. Wallace and Moore had similar averages and each out slugged Caballo. Overall probably a similar showing at the 1B position in 2013, depending on how much 1B Pena plays and if and when Singleton is called up. Probably higher slugging, similar OBP, and lower average.
League: .257/.318/.383
Houston: .239/.286/.309
The majority of AB's came from Jose Altuve at the 2 bagger spot last year, but not all as Altuve did miss some time due to injury last year. These numbers are below average and well below average in the slugging department. If Altuve can stay healthy, these numbers probably look better.
League: .266/.327/.427
Houston: .268/.329/.418
Surprisingly solid numbers at the 3b position last year. Between Chris Johnson's .276/.329/.428 and Matt Dominguez's .273/.310/.477 lines, the numbers look pretty good. But when you include the lines of Steve Pearce and Brandon Laird the average and slugging dip. Though Dominguez will likely not slug at a rate of .477 the 3rd base position could have another nice showing in 2013.
League: .257/.318/.378
Houston .241/.296/.408
The only category where Houston' short stops performed above league average was in the slugging department, and a healthy Jed Lowrie, yes healthy, means the possibility of a similar result from the SS position in 2013.
League: .261/.326./431
Houston: .227/.284/.356
League: .265/.330/.418
Houston: .220/.303/.360
League: .262/.327/.434
Houston: .220/.305/.406
The 3 outfield positions were where Houston really suffered last year, in all categories. It is pretty brutal to look at. The main silver lining I can see is the possibility of a higher slugging percentage provided by a full season of JMax and Fernando Martinez, who slugged 427 and 466 respectively. Take away Brian Bogusevics slash line of 203/310/229 and things are already looking better. A repeat of productivity from the outfield in 2013 would be tragic.
Here's to pitchers and catchers reporting in 2 weeks and to positivity of possibility.

The 2nd base line is wrong
Altuve did much better than that with a 290 avg.

I was at the Austin Astros CAREavan too. Bill Brown was both sincere and professional. I was already excited to meet him (moreso than the players), and like you the way he interacted with the fans made my weekend.

Good stuff.

Altuve's numbers alone are better than that 2B line. But he was hurt for a time last year and was not the only Astro to have at bats while playing the 2nd base position.

Thanks for reading Mike. And thanks for the help with those stats.
- January 29, 2013 at 3:11 PM
It's like watching Brad Ausmus bat 9 times each time through the lineup.
53 wins and oh so hosed!

Yeah, if you look at the bb-ref splits that Mike mentioned, some of the numbers aren't quite so terrible. Notably, 2B for the Astros was .285/.335/.404, and LF was .227/.297/..382 (CF and RF were worse, though). Astros infielders collectively had a .723 OPS, while the OF clocked in at a miserable .645.
Also interesting, vs. RHP the Astros hit .244/.310/.383; vs. LHP (in thankfully many fewer ABs), .213/.277/.336. Might help explain why they picked Frieman in the Rule 5, noting his lefty-mashing prowess.

Washington Election Summary
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state voters are poised to decide on a crowded ticket that includes one of the most competitive governor's races in the nation as well as issues like legalizing gay marriage and the recreational use of marijuana. Voters have been casting their votes since mid-October, and while early results will start trickling in tonight, the final determination of who has won in some of the more competitive races likely won't be known for days, if not longer.
SEATTLE (AP) — U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell is likely to clinch her third term in the U.S. Senate, while the race for one of Washington's redrawn congressional districts remains a toss-up. Cantwell, a Democrat, has led Republican newcomer Michael Baumgartner in the polls and in fundraising since the beginning of the campaign season. In the newly redrawn 1st Congressional district, Democrat Suzan DelBene faces Republican John Koster today in the state's closest congressional race.

September: Commandments
"Consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God" (Mosiah 2:41).
The outlines in this unit will help each young man learn about the blessings that come from obeying Heavenly Father's commandments. As the young men keep the commandments and continually repent, they will manifest their love for the Lord and keep themselves free from worldly influences.
Outlines to choose from this month:
Consider how you can plan activities that connect with what the youth are learning. A youth activities site is available to assist you. Many of the learning activities in these outlines could also serve as effective Mutual activities. Work with quorum presidencies to select and plan appropriate activities that reinforce what the young men learn on Sunday.

Walking up to the cafe on Thursday morning the day before the Mavericks surf contest down the road at Pillar Point, remembering last night's weather news about the buoys going off along the coast, watching the big surf, and I see a guy walking up the beach with half his board under each arm. "That's not a good sign," I say.
"I'm just glad I got to shore," he says.
At the Judah Street break in the berm where I usually trudge up to Java Beach I turn. For a big surf day there are few surfers out. I watch the lone surfer out paddle for a big, fast-breaking wave. He gets up and comes down the face and then it is as if he is an unwary pedestrian on a street of tall white houses that have just toppled onto him, becoming huge white foam and dazzling mist.
In a few days will be the fourth anniversary of my father's death. He would appreciate this: the broken board, the huge waves, the sunny morning with a chilly northeast wind.

An ancient peoples of central Mexico from 1200 to 400 BC, probably the earliest people in the region. They resided mainly in Veracruz, Tabasco and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. They had a written language, math, and calendars.[1] Some indication of their practicing human sacrifice has been inferred.
However, Minnesota State University, holds to a more expansive dateline for the Olmec, 1200 BC - 600 AD, when they were the most prevalent group in Mesoamerica and used irrigation in agriculture.[2]
The exact timeline and extent of this culture is still being explored. A group of expert findings and near-current understanding are found at [3]

For many years the Maya were thought to be the "mother culture" of Mexico. But further examination of existing artifacts, combined with radiocarbon dating, show the Olmec to have been active in the region hundreds of years earlier.[4]

NORMAN ROCKWELL'S ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, Part 4
Illustration #7
Sitting lower and looking up into her eyes, a sympathetic Huck consoles "Miss Mary Jane". Again Rockwell portrayed the emotions of the human condition, through posture, gesture and expression. The edge lighting on the figures and chairs (from the windows), adds to the mood , and delicately defines their features. This scene shows the tender side of Huck, as Miss Mary Jane appears sad and upset. Hearing her crying while packing her trunk, he consoles and asks her what the problem is. Rockwell depicts another well tailored and carefully manicured composition. Everything works to bring us into the subject matter. The stripes in the carpet and the nearly white window light on each side function to contain the figures in the center.. at least they appear at first glance to be centered. But, actually they are just left of center, avoiding a static symmetrical composition.
Notice one chair is a high back rocking chair, and the other, a backless stool. This gives variety and becomes a design advantage. To give variety to the rigid geometric shapes in the room, Rockwell angled the trunk and then echoed the nearly white windows in the lower portion of the illustration, with a small light shape inside the trunk. To give reality, he carefully adjusted the position of the window shades.. one slightly lower than the other. The picture frame and slip of paper under the corner of the frame on the wall, is another vintage Rockwell touch. Once again, every element functions to create a well conceived and well balanced illustration.
Illustration #8
Rockwell changed his color scheme in this illustration, and repeated the gold and amber tones, similar to the first illustration. He subtly indicates a rustic appearing interior, probably in the kitchen area. In this case, he wanted our attention to go straight to the subject (the snake and Aunt Sally), without hesitation. Unlike the last illustration, this is an action pose, and is obvious what is taking place. IMO, with a little information in the background, it could easily work as a Saturday Evening Post cover. The posture and attitude of the main figure is not a mystery here. And, Rockwell makes the most of it.
Notice how the spoon stops her from falling out of the picture. Theoretically, the bowl and spoon landing on the floor would scare the snake away, but fear and panic knows no logic. This is a classic example of effective counter change.. Aunt Sally's head and hands reversed out of a dark background, while the snake reversed out of the light tone of the floor.. the two most important elements in the illustration. Notice Aunt Sally's dress is darker than the floor, yet lighter than the dark gradated background toward the top. Just a key portion of Huck and Tom show behind her arching body. As Rockwell read the story or manuscript, I suspect he formed a visual image in his mind, of each character and each situation. This, no doubt, was the easiest part of portraying each illustration. The result however, is a unique combination of two master storytellers. If only Mark Twain could have seen Norman Rockwell's contributions to his great classic novels. Twain's inspiration on Rockwell is quite evident in these remarkable story illustrations.

Stephanie Plunkett, Chief Curator of the Museum would like readers to know that the Museum does travel an exhibition of signed lithographic prints from the Tom and Huck series to other museums and cultural centers. Stephanie writes, "We do have two upcoming bookings for that exhibition that are listed below, so perhaps your readers will have the opportunity to visit if they live in the region."
Here is the information about the traveling exhibition:
Norman Rockwell's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale-Davie, Florida
November 14, 2009 through January 29, 2010
Averitt Center for the Arts, Statesboro, Georgia

"It also might be interesting to note that the original paintings for the series are in the collection of the Mark Twain Museum in Hannibal, Missouri. The originals are beautiful. A study from the series will be on view in our upcoming exhibition, Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera, which opens on November 7, 2009."

Terrific series. You know that Rockwell really got into these books. Traveled to hannibal and even had locals give him vintage, traditional clothes. And though not his first use of the camera, it was extensive for these books. Unfortunately a fire took them. The Rockwell museum preserves the remains of the vast photo collection (www.rcavs.org). The show and book (Behind the Camera) will be an eye-opener as to this talent of his.ReplyDelete

Superb, very informative.ReplyDelete
Thanks Joel, appreciate the comment.ReplyDelete
Terry, thanks.. I will check that book out. I would love to see those photos that were salvaged.
Rockwell was hiding the use of the camera for years before he finally admitted it. It was considered cheating and almost sinful to "stoop to photographs" over a live model. He was roundly criticized by some of his peers, but eventually nearly every illustrator was using photographs, and painting from live models became impractical. But, I believe it was all those years of painting from live models that gave those illustrators the skills to paint realistically from photos, without it looking like hard boiled "photo realism" copies.

Yes, a terrifically accomplished painter, but what I cannot stand about Rockwell is the hokey,vaudevillian,cartoonish posing of his characters.People acting like cartoons instantly undermines the reality of a situation and renders the image as artificial and therefore redundant.To me, this facet of his art will always prvent him from being categorized as a 'great' artist.ReplyDelete

There's something about Chad's remark, especially about Part 4 here. But I'd say it's less prominent in Part three. And in Part two and one i fail to see anything cartoonish, or hokeyyvaudevillian, or what however that may be.ReplyDelete

I was mesmerized.
The echo from the stage resonated with each word. At circular tables illuminated with the mastheads and fashions of Vogue and W, the ladies who lunched and the editors who skipped it, all sat quiet, their eyes to the sleek steel podium.
Beyond the ring were the heads of cities and divisions. Power suits, stovepipe pants, killer heels, and dripping jewels. These ball-busters shattered the glass ceiling long ago on the way up, and looked fabulous every step of the way.
These masters of men were women. And we were here to celebrate them.
On the stage: Ellen DeGeneres, Susan Saradon, Geena Davis, Diane Sawyer, Candace Bushnell, Katie Couric. The women who brought me near tears of laughter and possibilities were Jill Abramson, managing editor of the Times, the legendary Joan Hamburg, and Cynthia Leive, Editor-in-Chief, Glamour. They spoke of their struggles, their wishes, their loneliness, and finally, their success.
The content was inspirational, my thoughts were inspired. At $250 a head, the chicken would be remembered as decadent and the goodie bags; heavy with product. But for me, it all ignited my imagination.
I left beaming, skipping along in scuffed slingbacks, and asking myself a singular question, over and over.
When would I be one of them?
Yesterday's event, tomorrow's dream...

But first, how about a look back at the year 2009?
Images: Selected images from 2009 in Pictures
I just saw someone comment on this 2009 Year in Pictures video that I made and uploaded to Facebook on January 1, 2010.
Side note: How in the world can you look at the videos you've uploaded to Facebook? I can't figure it out. But I found this one because of the comment notification.
Watching this three years later was quite an experience.
2009 looks like it was a lot of fun.
Here are some of the people in the video:
Shannon Vargo, Derek Wilmot, Melissa Pierce, Jeff Cutler, Jimmy Fallon, Rebecca Corliss, Lan Bui, Scott Beale, Scott Stead, Shira Lazar, Jeff Keni Pulver, Lisa Hughes, Zadi Diaz, Hermione Way, Steve Woolf, C.C.

What a pain in the… groin!
She wasn't born this way, but even Lady Gaga experienced groin pain—typically a symptom of hip disease such as arthritis of the hip—or, in her case, a hip labral tear. Groin pain is a common health complaint. According to a literature review appearing in the September 2013 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS), one in four people develop hip arthritis—damage to the surfaces in the hip joint—before the age of 85 that contributes to groin pain.
Contributing factors to the development of hip arthritis and, subsequently, groin pain may include one or more of the following:
- a sports-related injury;
- prior surgery to the hip;
- infection of bone or soft tissue;
- a defect present at birth;
- problems with growth and development, and
- traumatic occupational and recreational history, bone fractures, or a history of trauma.
The specific symptoms, and the timing/onset of those symptoms, can help your doctor recommend the appropriate tests, imaging or referrals to diagnose and treat the cause of the pain.
"Individuals experiencing sudden, onset groin pain associated with trauma or bowel/bladder dysfunction, symptoms like fevers or abdominal discomfort should promptly seek medical attention," says Juan C. Suarez, MD, lead author of the study and an orthopaedic surgeon with Cleveland Clinic Florida. "But, those with chronic pain, despite time and conservative management, also warrant evaluation."
Young athletes participating in activities such as endurance sports, soccer, power lifting, ice hockey, and basketball are at an increased risk of developing hip osteoarthritis (OA), the "wear and tear" arthritis because of frequent, high stresses at the joint surface. In addition to hip arthritis, female athletes participating in endurance sports also are more likely to sustain hip and pelvic stress fractures than male athletes.
A detailed medical history and examination by a physician can help diagnose and manage the source of groin pain. "It is important to have a good network of physicians from multiple specialties," says Dr. Suarez. "In my experience, the diagnosis is not always obvious and it may require multiple visits, examinations and referrals prior to reaching the correct diagnosis. A good network facilitates this process."

In early April, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., joined a handful of other senators in drafting a letter in part about new rules of the road governing bank capital requirements.

That letter was sent to Federal Reserve Gov. Daniel Tarullo, Comptroller of the Currency Thomas Curry and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Martin Gruenberg.
"We believe that we should not move forward with an overly complicated capital regime for smaller institutions," Corker and the other senators wrote. "Community banks, for example, have very different business models than globally active financial institutions, and while there may be merit in improving the capital framework applicable to them, this should be a secondary priority to constraining leverage at the largest firms.
"The new Basel III capital standards were designed for large, internationally active banks, as was appropriate. We urge you to complete work on capital standards for the largest banks before turning to the smaller institutions. Then, devise a simpler framework that, unlike the current proposals, will be within the reach and capabilities of community institutions."
The issue is on the front burner for several congressmen. U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., is a member of the powerful Senate Banking Committee and has introduced legislation that would effectively slow down the implementation of new capital standards by requiring regulators to study the economic impact of those rules first.
Jim Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, spoke to the Economic Club of Memphis in the fall. He drew applause from the audience – composed in large part of bankers and financial industry professionals – by mentioning new bank capital standards in the same sentence as a reference to a prophesy about the end of the world.
His quip was about how new international bank capital standards are "actually mentioned in the Mayan calendar."
Needless to say, it was a reflection of the fact that bankers at institutions of all sizes – in Memphis and beyond – are watching what develops with keen interest.
"We definitely need larger banks in this country, because somebody has to serve the banking needs of large, multinational corporations," said Will Chase, president of Memphis-based Triumph Bank. "FedEx employs a few hundred thousand people around the globe. How do they make payroll on Friday? Money's got to go out and sometimes in different currencies.
"For me, I think the idea of keeping more capital is on the surface a good idea. Except if you have proven results and good asset quality. That's really what ought to drive it, rather than just the fact of you being a $400 million or $400 billion institution."
In the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, it became en vogue for lawmakers to call for increasing capital reserves among banks so they're better able to withstand losses. Regulators and lawmakers have grappled for the law few years with how to make that a reality.
To banking regulators, whose job it is to protect the banking system and ultimately consumer and business deposits, capital is king, says Kirk Bailey, president, chairman and CEO of Memphis-based Magna Bank.
"We believe there will eventually be risk-based capital standards that are more onerous for banks with more than $10 billion in assets, which tend to have more diverse fee-based lines of business than smaller banks," Bailey said. "Some of the business lines of larger banks can have very volatile earnings, requiring more capital to protect the bank against hits to capital resulting from operating losses from the business lines. Smaller banks' income historically has been driven by spread income, which tends to be less volatile and therefore typically doesn't impact capital as dramatically as some fee-based lines of business."
Smaller banks may still feel some impact, though. Robert Trimm, chief investment officer for Legacy Wealth Management, said he doesn't think smaller banks will be immune to the effects of any new capital requirements.
"I would expect that the cost of raising capital for small banks would be higher than for large multinational banks, which given their size and reach would tend to have greater economies of scale," Trimm said. "More helpful, I think, would be to apply the same capital requirements to government agencies such as the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Association. This would help to reduce (their) competitive advantage and allow smaller banks the ability to better compete in local real estate markets, an area in which smaller banks should have an informational advantage."

LEXINGTON, Ky. - As part of the Bloomberg Mayors Challenge, Lexington submitted a proposal to launch a website called CitizenLex.org, where the public could identify problems, ideas, and solutions. Mayor Jim Gray talks about the feasibility of the project in this week's edition of Mondays with the Mayors.
What is CitizenLex and why did you feel was the best option?
"Having a system for collecting ideas, finding data, discovering allies -- having that platform -- would be itself something that cities don't have. What it does, too, is it pushes and encourages democracy in an even greater way."
How do you envision CitizenLex operating? What kind of manpower will be behind it?
"In today's age what we try to do is use automated technologies to their fullest and most robust way. So the expectation is that we would have a provider, a company that would actually manage the system. That's why we're creating alliances with technology firms to actually explore these options."
On the application, it says that Lexington plans to appoint a Director of City Innovation. How would that work with CitizenLex and what would that person do?
Having someone responsible for this level of engagement, the innovative context of it, is really important. We're talking about one person, that's part of what the Bloomberg funding would provide. The grant would actually fund a role like this. The job would be to help create and then manage the system that engages this full and robust idea-generation and implementation system."
How far along is Lexington in bringing this idea to fruition even without the Bloomberg money (a $5 million grand prize)?
"Win, place, show, or just in it for the run, we will learn. And we learned in this that there's a wellspring of interest among our citizens. Government itself has historically been a convening system. And what this is designed to provide is just that, in a very focused in a very efficient way. Where are we? We're already talking with technology partners, so we're already working on the platform. It'd be great if we get the support of the Bloomberg grant. There are 300 cities competing; that's stiff competition, but we're still optimistic. We're a competitive city, we know that. And in looking at it on balance, we feel like we have a pretty compelling and pretty competitive idea here."

Recent rains have improved production potential for the Texas South Plains corn and grain sorghum crops.
Timely showers that began in mid-June, "have been a tremendous benefit," says Dr. Calvin Trostle, AgriLife Extension agronomist specializing in corn and sorghum, Lubbock. "Certainly, producers are pushing corn as best they can with irrigation and close attention to spider mite and corn earworm control."
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
Producers planted more grain sorghum in West Texas because of earlier projected high prices, but farmers planted considerably more on fields after failed dryland cotton, according to Trostle.
"We have the prospects for a very decent dryland grain sorghum crop in West Texas," he said. "The rains have pushed the crop to a point where we may be able to finish out the crop with just a little more rainfall. There's certainly cause for optimism."

(Reuters) - Buffalo Sabres forward Patrick Kaleta has been suspended five games for shoving New York Rangers forward Brad Richards from behind and into the boards, the National Hockey League said on Monday.
Kaleta received a major penalty for the hit during Sunday's game that saw Richards hit his head and neck as he sprawled into the boards and to the ice in pain.
Richards, who has 13 points in 20 games for the Rangers this season, did not practice with the team on Monday but is expected to be fine.
Kaleta, who is considered a repeat offender, will also forfeit $76,219.25 in salary, the league said in a statement.

SAN ANTONIO — The Mexican businessmen in Rolexes and Burberry ties meet on the north side of town, at Cielito Lindo Restaurant, or at new neighboring country clubs. Their wives frequent Neiman Marcus, Tiffany's and Brooks Brothers at the nearby mall. Their children park Porsches with Mexican license plates in the student lots at Reagan High School.
They are part of a wave of legal Mexican immigrants who have been overlooked in the national debate over how to deal with their largely impoverished illegal compatriots. Propelled north by drug cartel violence, they paid thousands of dollars to hire attorneys and obtain investors' visas for themselves and their families (including maids). They have regrouped in gated developments in several Texas cities, where their growing influence has been compared to the impact of well-heeled Cuban refugees who arrived in Miami decades ago.
Nowhere is the evidence more striking than in San Antonio, Texas' second-largest city and a short private-jet hop from Monterrey, Mexico, where many of the new immigrants built their wealth. They have poured into developments with names like the Dominion, Stone Oak and Sonterra that were cut into the rocky hills and oak groves north of the Loop 1604 highway that rings the city.

On Sunday we anticipated that Microsoft would start talking more about Windows Phone 7.8 as all signs point to January 31st as the beginning of a global rollout for current Windows Phone users.
Today, Microsoft has announced the Windows Phone 7.8 SDK update, which will allow developers to better target the 7.8 changes—specifically new Tile options—and to make sure that the apps behave as intended.
Detailing the update on the Windows Phone Developer blog, Microsoft's Cliff Simpkins explains why devs will want to download this and get their apps updated as soon as possible.
The main new features for Live Tiles are the following for 7.8:
- The app's primary tile can have a customized small tile, support wide tiles, and also take advantage of the Flip tile template.
- Secondary tiles can be enabled to take advantage of all three of the new tile templates (Flip, Iconic, and Cycle).
Apps updated for 7.8 will of course still run just fine on Windows Phone 7.x, meaning this won't "lock out" users, it simply adds more features much like how Mango added new options when it was released.
The bad news is this SDK does not add any new APIs to 7.8. That means outside of some tile behavior we don't expect to see lockscreen support besides the official Bing image-of-the-day, which is native to the system.
With the news of the SDK coming out, we're quite confident now that the 7.8 OS update is right around the corner. Though it may take a few weeks or even months for individual carriers to sign off on the update, at least the process will have begun.
Developers can read in more detail about the 7.8 SDK here on the Windows Phone Dev blog.

They Call Me Muslim
A film by
Diana Ferrero
Italy/France/Iran, 2006, 27 minutes, Color, DVD, French/Farsi, Subtitled
Order No. W07916
In popular Western imagination, a Muslim woman in a veil – or hijab – is a symbol of Islamic oppression. But what does it mean for women's freedom when a democratic country forbids the wearing of the veil? In this provocative documentary, filmmaker Diana Ferrero portrays the struggle of two women – one in France and one in Iran – to express themselves freely.
In 2004, the French government instituted an "anti-veil law," forbidding Muslim girls from wearing the hijab to school. Samah, a teenager in Paris who, at 14 decided to wear the veil, explains how the law attacks her sense of identity – and does not make her feel liberated. "Who says that freedom is not wearing anything on your head?" she asks. Half a world away in Tehran, "K," forced to wear the hijab by the Islamic regime, defiantly wears it her own way – and her translucent scarf loosely draped over her hair puts her at risk of arrest. When Ferrero films her at home, K, comfortable in a tank top and shorts, says, "They call me Muslim... But do you see me as a Muslim? What do you have in your mind for a Muslim person?" Beautifully shot and finely crafted, THEY CALL ME MUSLIM highlights how women still must struggle for the right to control their own bodies – not only under theocratic regimes, but also in secular, democratic countries where increasing discrimination against Muslims and sexism intersect.

Parking Options by Type
Daily Fee Parkingaccordian expanded
Daily Fee Parking is available on a first-come/first-served basis. You need to pay a daily fee to park at BART stations. The fee varies by station and are posted at each station. Daily fee parkers may park in the designated "Fee" area of a station, where fees are required Monday through Friday from 4:00 am to 3:00 pm. If you arrive after 3pm and leave before 4am, parking is free.
BART customers using the ADA accessible parking spaces are also required to pay the established parking fees at times when those fees are in effect.
To park in the "Permit" area of a parking lot, you need to have purchased in advance a Single Day, Monthly, or Airport/Long-Term permit. Your receipt from your daily fee parking payment does not qualify as a permit. Parking spaces in designated Permit areas become available to the general public at 10am on a first come/first served basis, although you still must pay the daily fee for the station.
Pay for the daily parking fee inside the faregates of the station, before boarding BART. You must be a roundtrip BART rider in order to park at a BART parking facility.
There are 3 ways to pay for parking.
1. EZ Rider Parking Linked to Your Clipper Card
Using a Clipper card makes you eligible for EZ Rider Parking on days you ride BART. Just set up an EZ Rider Parking account with a credit/debit card and your Clipper card serial number at the BART parking website called "EZ Rider" at https://ezrider.bart.gov/ezrider/. Once you register, you will receive a hang tag, which you display in your car. To pay for parking, simply tag your Clipper card at a Parking Validation Machine after entering the fare gates. This deducts the daily fee charge from your EZ Rider Parking account only on the days that you park and tag the validation machine.
2. Cash Payment
A. Proceed through the fare gates and go to addfare/parking validation machine.
B. Enter your stall number.
C. Insert your cash.
D. Take your receipt from the bottom tray of the parking validation machine.
3. BART Blue Ticket
This is for use only if you use a blue ticket to enter the faregates. A BART Blue ticket is the paper/plastic ticket you receive when you purchase your fare ticket at the station. You can use cash or a credit card to buy a BART Blue ticket, which can then be used for both your daily parking fee and your BART fare.
A. Proceed through the fare gates and go to addfare/parking validation machine.
B. Insert your blue BART ticket. The total value required on that ticket prior to entering must be at least the minimum ride's fare from that location plus the daily parking fee in effect.
C. Enter your stall number.
D. Take your receipt from the bottom tray of the parking validation machine.
BART's Reserved Permit Parking Program
BART offers several reserved parking options at most of its BART stations that have parking facilities. Please visit www.Select-a-Spot.com to reserve a parking spot. This website is operated by BART's parking permit vendor, ImPark.
Monthly Reserved Permit Parkingaccordian expanded
Monthly Reserved Permit Parking is available at most BART stations that offer parking. Permits are station-specific and cost between $30 and $115.50 per month (subject to change). This permit allows riders the ability to park within a designated reserved "Permit" parking area close to the station Monday through Friday until 10 a.m. After 10am, any unoccupied spaces become "Fee" spaces and are open to the public on a first come/first served basis.
Buy your Monthly Reserved Permit online now at Select-a-Spot, which offers an easy, convenient and secure way to purchase permits with a credit card. Permits will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
All patrons are required to display a valid parking permit through the front windshield of the vehicle with the permit facing outward and clearly displaying the permit number.
Failure to display a valid permit may result in a citation.
Single Day Reserved Permit Parkingaccordian expanded
BART offers Single Day Reserved Permit Parking at many stations. This permit allows riders to purchase a reserved permit for single days and park in the "Permit" Reserved area. Your reservation is for arrival before 10 am.
You will be required to printout a single day permit for each day of your reservation and display the permit through the front windshield of the vehicle with the permit facing outward and clearly displaying the permit number. Failure to display a valid permit may result in a citation. The cost of single day reserved parking varies by station and you can make a reservation as late as just before you need to use it. Buy your Single Day Reserved Permit online now at Select-a-Spot.
Airport/Long Term Permit Parkingaccordian expanded
(APLT) Airport / Long Term – (APLT) Airport / Long Term Program permits can be purchased for periods of up to 30 days. These permits allow you to park in the station's "Permit" reserved area up until 10 am Monday through Friday. After 10:00 am this "Permit" reserved area is open to the general public and any remaining spaces may fill up fast. So if you have an Airport/Long Term parking reservation, it is important to arrive at a station either before 10am or at a time when parking spaces are available (generally weekends and evenings.)
Customers who purchase a long term parking permit may park in the station's permit/reserved or other areas that are non-restricted. This is the only permit that allows parking in excess of 24 consecutive hours and is subject to parking charges for weekends and holiday periods depending upon the start date and end date of the reservation and is as further explained below.
You will be required to printout your (APLT) Airport / Long Term permit for your reservation and display the permit through the front windshield of the vehicle with the permit facing outward and clearly displaying the permit number. Failure to display a valid permit may result in a citation. For security purposes, these permits will only display the date of the first day of the permit reservation and enforcement officers will verify the permit duration electronically. Buy your (APLT) Airport/Long Term Reserved Permit online now at Select-a-Spot.
(APLT) Airport / Long Term Weekend and BART designated Holiday Exception:
(APLT) Airport / Long Term reservations beginning and ending on any weekday and spanning a BART designated Holiday, Saturday or Sunday are subject to (APLT) / Long Term parking charges throughout the on-line reservation including the BART designated Holiday, Saturday or Sunday covered throughout the reservation period. (APLT) Airport / Long Term reservations beginning or ending on a BART designated Holiday, a Saturday or Sunday are not charged for parking on that BART designated Holiday, Saturday or Sunday. (APLT) Airport / Long Term permits are not available for purchase at any of the BART stations and can only be purchased online prior to arriving at the station.
Other BART Parking Policies
24-Hour Weekday Time Limit
There is a 24-hour weekday time limit on parking in all BART lots (See Airport/Long Term Parking for an exception to this rule). Vehicles left in BART parking facilities for more than 24 hours will be subject to fine.
Extended Weekend Parking
At all BART parking facilities, the 24 hour rule for leaving your vehicle is waived during and throughout weekends and BART designated holidays, excluding those fees that are detailed within the APLT Airport / Long Term parking reservation policy. This means you may leave your vehicle at a BART parking facility during and throughout the weekends and the BART designated holidays continuously and payment of parking fees is not required for these days. Payment is required for any normal operating days either following or preceding the BART designated Holiday, Saturday or Sunday.
Oversized Vehicle Restrictions
Vehicles or combinations of vehicles that exceed 6.5 feet in width, or 19 feet in length or 3 tons in weight may not be driven through, left standing or parked in any BART parking facility. Vehicles found in violation of the size restrictions may be cited or towed.
Motorcycle Parking
Motorcycles may park free of charge in designated motorcycle parking areas. If you park in a numbered stall in the daily fee area, the parking fee is required from 4am to 3pm, Monday through Friday.

"Excluding" APLT Airport / Long Term Parking Permit reservations, parking permit & fee requirements are not enforced in station parking facilities on the following holidays:
- New Year's Day
- Veterans Day
- Thanksgiving
- Christmas
- Martin Luther King Day
- Presidents Day
- Memorial Day

*NOTE: There are no separate monthly permits for only parking in the EV charging lot. Existing Monthly Reserved permit holders can park in the 3 designated EV charging spaces on a first-come, first-serve basis. Any monthly permit holders found parking in EV charging spaces that are otherwise designated (per the signage in front of each EV charging space) are subject to fines.
Parking Fee Increases
BART's policy is to adjust rates every 6 months by $0.50 if a facility is over 95% occupied, up to a $3 daily fee maximum (except West Oakland).
Parking Lot Estimated Fill Times
Please consult each station page for estimated fill times.
WageWorks, Commuter Checks andTranBen
These various agencies offer a means in which you can pay for your parking on a pre-tax basis and each has a slightly different program than the other. In some cases they produce payment on your behalf to the BART parking vendor and in doing so, provide them with the appropriate information for your account to be properly credited. In each of these instances, it is the BART patron who is responsible for ensuring that the correct and proper information is provided to the BART parking vendor to ensure proper credit to your account. The information that should appear on the check making payment on your behalf should include.
Checks must clearly document right on them (If not submitted as a bulk payment) and not as an attachment - the patron (Account Name), parking permit number, Station and license number to ensure proper credit to the account for which they are being submitted. They must also be made payable to Impark.
