By Marv Knox, Texas Baptist Standard
Nashville, TN — The Southern Baptist Convention will consider attempting to bring its women's auxiliary under its authority, thanks to a motion from the floor of the SBC annual meeting.
The convention received 24 motions during the opening day of its 2005 gathering on June 21 in Nashville. Of those motions, 13 were referred to convention agencies for study and possible action, and 11 were ruled out of order.
The request to invite Woman's Missionary Union to become an entity of the SBC was suggested by Missourian Leslie Stock, a messenger from Santa Fe Trail Baptist Church in Boonville.
Woman's Missionary Union is an auxiliary to the SBC. WMU was founded independently of the convention in 1888. Its primary objectives are to educate Southern Baptists about missions, collect two offerings that provide major funding for the convention's international and domestic mission boards and provide hands-on opportunities for missions.
As an auxiliary, WMU raises its own funding and elects its own board and officers. The 12 SBC-owned entities receive their funding from the convention, and their boards all are elected by the convention.
Stock's motion proposed the SBC "extend an invitation" for WMU to "become an entity of the Southern Baptist Convention to join the other SBC entities…in the work of missions and enjoy the benefits of being an entity of the SBC."
Some observers suggested the motion could be used to bring WMU into stricter alignment with the convention. At the Nashville meeting, messengers completed the process of naming the SBC as the "sole member" of all 12 convention entities' corporate organizations, making the SBC's selection of their trustees — and subsequent control of the organizations themselves — virtually irrevocable.
While Southern Baptists consistently have affirmed WMU's zeal for missions, some leaders and others have claimed the women's group has not adequately embraced the "conservative resurgence" that turned the SBC sharply to the right during the past quarter century.
The motion was referred to the SBC Executive Committee for study.
Motions referred to agencies
Six motions referred to various SBC agencies asked the convention to:
* Expand ministry to single parents and their children, made by Gerald Dominy of Springfield First Baptist Church in Rogersville, Ala.
The convention referred Dominy's motion to 11 SBC agencies, exempting the Executive Committee, which does not have ministry program assignments.
* Create a liaison to "coordinate and enhance" the convention's ministry to homosexuals. Bob Stith, pastor of Carroll Baptist Church in Southlake, Texas, made the motion. Referred to the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, LifeWay Christian Resources and the North American Mission Board.
 * Request LifeWay Christian Resources to "make available once again through any and all willing local, hometown Christian book stores" its undated materials, including Vacation Bible School curricula. Referred to LifeWay.
* Make Guidestone Financial Resources — formerly called the Annuity Board — "the primary (healthcare) provider" for employees of all SBC entities. Referred to Guidestone.
* Request the International Mission Board to report on its plans for "continuing support of theologically conservative Bible schools, theological colleges, theological seminaries and other institutions" and to explain and reaffirm its intent to "continue to require theological training in a Baptist seminary for all full-time mission personnel." Referred to the IMB.
* Study whether "a local church organized by the government as a 501(c)(3) state church is biblically correct." Such a designation makes churches and other nonprofit corporations tax-exempt, according to the Internal Revenue Code. Referred to the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission.
Six additional motions referred to the Executive Committee asked for:
* Each state Baptist convention to provide "a good-faith estimate" of when it plans to divide its Cooperative Program budget receipts evenly between itself and the SBC.
* Recognition of the Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship "as a formal evangelistic mission entity to Jewish people worldwide."
* A moratorium on holding the SBC annual meeting on the week after Father's Day.
* Permission to submit proposed resolutions up to the beginning of the afternoon session on the first day of the convention's annual meeting. Current bylaws stipulate resolutions must be submitted at least 15 days in advance of the annual meeting.
* Placement of one woman on every SBC committee.
* Strengthening the bylaws' language to emphasize that messengers may immediately consider motions rather than refer them to SBC entities. (06-29-05)

I've kept mum on all of the Deadspin Hall of Fame races thus far (remember, voting ends tomorrow afternoon), and this late into the game there are still some races up for grabs. A.J. Daulerio's Super Bowl weekend is still well below the pace for enshrinement, but if he thought events from this past weekend would help him, boy is he mistaken.
Earlier this weekend I was pointed in the direction of Nation of Islam Sportsblog, who was cited in a Philly Magazine blog post as being a "highly respected sports blog." The gist of NOIS's post was that the mainstream media had finally accepted their message. Big deal, I thought to myself. Daulerio was the one who wrote the Philly Mag post, and he was fully aware of what he was doing.
The next morning, I went back to the post and the term "highly respected" was removed, and simply referred to NOIS as a "sports blog." Highly damning.
Who changed it? Was it the AJ Daulerio? Or was it his editor? I haven't heard back from Daulerio (not everyone sidles up to their computer on the weekends, I suppose), but from what I know about newspaper blogs, higher-ups do enjoy having editorial control over them. And we all know how much editors detest citing blogs and taking them seriously, because then it bites them in the ass.
So I implore you, AJ Daulerio, to speak up and throw your editor under the bus. Call your editor out and say you weren't the one who disrespected the Nation of Islam Sportsblog with a sneaky post-publication edit. Play the race card. It may be your best chance to make it into the Deadspin Hall of Fame.

The Flakt Woods Group, a well-known manufacturer of large industrial fans, had to deliver to a major defense organization fans to be used in many different applications with very stringent and widely varying technical specifications and requirements. In order to meet the delivery schedule, they outsourced the design of one of the more challenging fans to PCA Engineers, engineering consultants specializing in turbomachinery design.
The critical requirement was that the fan should have nearly flat operating characteristics, so that delivery pressure does not rise significantly as the volume flow falls. Normally, we would have begun by looking for a similar design that we had done in the past, but we had never produced anything similar to this one.

Reports of a new direction
Reports of a new direction
IMO ... I think this article is totally bogus!!
First of all ... there are no quotes from any TM sources.
And all that BS about mounted rifles, indoor and on a roof rack ... pleeezzee!!
It's completely ridiculous! IMHO ;-)
Until I here this information directly from TM or Elon ... I don't believe a word of it!!
And what's the nonsense about a tunnel for the batteries?
I hope it's not too late for you to do your bit to combat de-population.
This topic has already been covered in another forum thread: Long Wheelbase Article.
Rachel, read my comment again. By about '45, de-population will begin, and be far more destructive than population growth.
@Brian H
Sorry to bump into the debate uninvited, but I'd strongly disagree regarding de-population.
The video posted, talking about 'concerts' clearly reflects a western – based worldview, when that is not where over-population is a huge challenge. I'd recommend for reference looking up any of the many Hans Rosling lectures online he explains this best. Or just visit: http://www.gapminder.org/ (his website, with stats).
In short: among the countries with the highest population growths are The Congo, Afghanistan, Somalia. Those also have the highest mortality rates. Is over-population the root cause of their problems? Not in itself, more a symptom of poverty and war but it does add to the instability as there are more mouths to feed and a 'youth bulge'.
I'd also point out that from Rosling's analysis the connection between population growth and environmental degradation is far from trivial.
So the answer ends up being 'its more complicated than that...'.
Here it is... right to the point. A talk (10 min) on population growth and the environment:
Its not a trivial matter.
Back to the thread topic. This article is HIGHLY suspect as to factual basis. Cramer has a well known history of being anti-Tesla. Why on earth would Tesla 'follow' anything Chevy or minivans are doing. If you really know Tesla and their vision, you would read this article and red flags would be up everywhere.
Look at the information on the Model X on the Tesla website. That is accurate.
@The article...
Because the only thing missing on a pricey California based eco – friendly car is... rifle racks!
Oh and make it like the hummer.
I'd put that news story with the category with alien abduction stories. Something so outrageously un-probable needs a great deal of proof.
This article sounds rediculous. All four pages of speculation, unfounded rumor, and basically nothing of substance.
They even said that the Model S 2.0 would be coming out around the same time.
Bogus article me thinks.
whoops, "ridiculous"
"The United Nations Population Division (UNPD) is the most reliable source of population statistics in the world,...and, according to the UNPD, population growth will continue to slow down over the next few decades. In fact, if current trends persist, our growth will halt right around 8 billion by 2050. After that, our numbers will start to fall off, slowly at first, and then faster."
UNPD Excel file: http://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/Excel-Data/EXCEL_FILES/1_Population/WPP2012_P...
See the "Low Fertility" option. Its the only one that's ever been close to accurate.
@Brian H
You make a false assumption that you are giving me data I do now know about already.
Yes, there are many countries with below replacement fertility rates, particularly Japan, Taiwan. The average child per woman in the world today is around 2.5.
But it still does not reflect the whole picture...
Please just do this, you will understand what I'm talking about. Go to http://www.gapminder.org/ choose GAPMINDER WORLD, then change Y axis to 'children per women'. This is all UN data.
You could mark replacement level at around 2.3 (I don't remember exactly why its not 2, but it should be the right number). Anyway you get a similar picture.
While some (mostly rich countries) have low fertility rates others (very poor countries) have very high rates.
Anyway I'd argue population growth is not the most important thing to focus on in terms of sustainability and well being. Cheap and accessible energy is. Cheap energy means economic growth, lower food costs, better access to clean water... and with all that the population changes could be manageable. IMO.
The "high rate" countries have seen some of the greatest falls, and do not compensate any more. As the demographer says, it's still a puzzle why it's happening in some places. But it is.
Model X will be the new Army Humvee. Tesla military contract coming. Mark my words.
Depopulation will very likely happen. The third world, most especially the largest two, India and China, are finally pulling themselves out of poverty. And as counties become richer, their fertility rates drop. Personally, I think necessity will once again be the mother of invention and as the world depopulates, advanced technologies like very advanced robotics will keep worldwide standard of living high.
I am a proud second generation member of the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement, and bringing my son up to be the third generation.
The rest of us demand the movement be reflexively pro-active.
jbunn - may many future generations of your family be proud members too.
Yawn. Population will peak at about 8bn in 2040 or so, and decline thereafter. VHEM is a non-solution to a non-problem.
Read Jared Diamond's book "collapse" and you will understand exactly what is going to happen to our civilization. Or watch Soylent Green if you are not a reader.
Diamond's basic premise is that societies collapse because they do not understand what it is they are doing wrong nor that continuing to do so will be disastrous. So Easter Island lost all its trees because no one really stopped to think, won't we need trees in the future.
There is reason to think that we actually do understand what we are doing wrong and that we know what we should be doing instead, and so even were we to fail to completely change direction we are still in a good position to mitigate the worst effects of our activities. As such our current society is not a good fit to Diamond's hypotheses about societal collapse.
It's the black swan that would lead us to a Diamond-ish disaster: that one unlikely thing that no one ever thought would be important. But we can't really meaningfully discuss that one because by its very nature we don't know what it is.
There is a humorous irony to talking about someone's future generations all being part of a voluntary human extinction plan.
You got that too Skotty? ;-)
The premise of the movie "Idiocracy" will come to fruition and extinction will happen soon after.
Boy, you people don't know how to stay on topic do you?
Rifle rack? In a Tesla I would expect an electric rail gun. Efficient depopulation and lead-free, no harmful emissions as with traditional gunpowder. Talk about green...
Don't know the effect of miles or range lost per shot though. Maybe you could only shoot a couple of times.
However, if a windmill was placed in front of the gun, it could charge the battery...
Require much less power if it fired poison BBs.

Viridian has gone on the Redmond Diet with Microsoft today ripping some of its most exciting planned features out of the virtualization software.
In April, Microsoft's GM in charge of Viridian Mike Neil revealed that the company would have to delay the software's beta release from the first half of 2007 to the second half. The reason for the delay? Well, Microsoft wanted to add in things such as support for 64 processors – "something no other vendor's product supports" – and on-the-fly addition of processors, memory, disk and networking. Such technology was needed so that Microsoft could "(meet) our internal goals for performance and scalability."
Consider those goals not met as of today with Microsoft saying it will only support 16 processor cores in the final version of Viridian – or more formally Windows Server virtualization. In addition, Microsoft will give up on the on-the-fly technology and give up on live migration with the virtualization software release.
Neil disclosed these changes in a blog post under the heading "Dynamic datacenter."
Customers will think Microsoft's data center dynamic in all the wrong ways. Microsoft has now fallen even farther behind rivals VMware and Xen in the server virtualization game.
Both competitors support on-the-fly additions of computing resources and have tools for so-called live migration where you can shift running virtual machines between physical servers. Such tools are thought key to the oncoming wave of data center-wide virtualization software hitting the market.
The 64-core loss hurts few since most x86 machines top out at four sockets – or 16 cores with four-core chips. Still, it's rather hilarious that Microsoft had to give up on that feature since Neil was boasting about crushing rivals with the SMP play last month. (Someone pull Neil away from his blog – Ed)
This time around Neil confessed that Microsoft's bizarro version of feature creep comes from the realization that "shipping is a feature, too."
"So we had some really tough decisions to make," Neil wrote today. "We adjusted the feature set of Windows Server virtualization so that we can deliver a compelling solution for core virtualization scenarios while holding true to desired timelines. Windows Server virtualization is a core OS technology for the future, and we chose to focus on virtualization scenarios that meet the demands of the broad market – enterprise, large organizations, and mid-market customers."
The rest of Neil's blog post proves worth reading as it details some of the features that will actually
allegedly ship with Viridian, which is due within 180 days after Longhorn Server ships later this year.
Neil also expressed optimism about the sever virtualization market still being so young. Less than 10 per cent of customers have picked their VM vendor of choice.
That's a fine thing to bring up if you're VMware or Xen with modern product on the market. Instead, Microsoft remains locked in the hosted hypervisor world where its current Virtual Server product has to run on top of an operating system. And now its already delayed software will arrive missing features. You're basically looking at a first generation virtualizatoin product that will ship, say, a year from now.
These issues have some analysts calling for blood.
"Microsoft has a fundamentally broken server virtualization strategy at this point," wrote Illuminata analyst Gordon Haff. "They were behind to begin with. Now, the tardy 'Rev. 1.0' is starting to look more like 'Rev. 0.5.' Perhaps it's time for Microsoft to consider a different angle.
"Perhaps it's time for Microsoft to admit that they can't do it all themselves - at least for now - and form some legitimate partnerships. That would mean fixing some licensing problems and eating some crow. But that's the cost of a broken internal development process. That Mike Neil should make reference to the 'mythical man-month' in his posting is wholly appropriate." ®

DetailsSupporting Local Farmers in Agri & Agro Festival 2013
The Indonesian agriculture sector is dominated by small family farmers, with cash crop production in particular and fruits, vegetables crops. The main staple food is rice. In 2003, contribute about 15% of the Indonesia Product Domestic Bruto and in 2009 slightly increase to about 16,3%.
According to Indonesia's Central Bureau of Statistics Agricultural Census, the number of farmers has decreased from 31.17 million in 2003 to 26.13 million in 2013. The decrease was due to the farmers professions switched to other sectors, such as trade or industry.
Therefore, to support the local farmers in the easiest possible way, Jakarta Tourism and Culture Office will hold Agri & Agro Festival 2013 at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah on 29th November to 1st December 2013. This event is an original concept to present the sectors of agribusiness and agroindustry in Indonesia, by welcoming people of all ages from different background to equally enjoy the festival.
Agri & Agro Festival 2013 is scheduled to be attended by regencies from all around Indonesia that will introduce their signature local commodities, and also welcome the foreign agricultural and agroindustrial companies based in Indonesia and/or countries of origin that will also introduce their commodities.
Not only that, this event will also have traditional arts and cultural show and culinary adventure from provinces of Indonesia. Music performances by Indonesian artists has also been scheduled to entertain all parties.

Delivery of oral doses of vitamin A to prevent vitamin-A deficiency and nutritional blindness
Keith P. West, Jr., and Alfred Sommer
Administration of large doses of vitamin A to young children land often to lactating, non-pregnant mothers as well) is a commonly practiced intervention against nutritional blindness, and may emerge as a major strategy to reduce childhood mortality where vitamin-A deficiency is endemic. On the basis of available evidence from nearly two decades of experience, large-dose vitamin-A distribution can generally be regarded as a safe and potentially effective intervention to prevent xerophthalmia. While this approach is conceptually simple, the adequacy and efficiency of programmes pose major challenges and determine their success in preventing nutritional blindness.
A 200,000 IU dose of vitamin A with 40 IU vitamin E in an oil solution for oral administration given every six months is used in most prevention programmes. This is preferred to water-miscible preparations for reasons of safety and practicality of delivery. A gelatine capsule, provided to governments by UNICEF, is the most widely used form of dose except in India, where a domestically produced oil concentrate is used.
The protection afforded by six-monthly dosing seems very adequate as measured by clinical signs of the deficiency. Controlled field and other clinical studies indicate that a single dose gives effective protection of 90% or better (its prophylactic efficacy) against developing mild xerophthalmia for at least 4 to 6 months. Data from a case-control study in India suggest this degree of efficacy extends to severe, potentially blinding xerophthalmia as well. However, the protective period is likely to vary with the frequency and severity of precipitating and contributory factors such as infection and protein-energy malnutrition. Efficacy establishes the upper limit of of effectiveness when large-dose vitamin-A delivery is implemented through a routine programme.
The presence of certain infections reduces absorption and retention of vitamin A, such that while 40%50% of a large dose is retained in healthy children, only 20%-30% may be stored and utilized in those with respiratory or gastrointestinal infections. But treatment for xerophthalmia using standard oral doses of vitamin A appears effective even in the presence of such infections. Absorption and retention of vitamin A appear to be inversly related to the dosage; thus, a 200,000 IU dose is proportionally less well absorbed and retained than a physiologic amount (e.g., 3,000 IU) of vitamin A.
Theoretical estimates of the sufficiency of hepatic stores conferred by a 200,000 IU dose range from 60 to 240 days; however, the observed protective period against low serum-vitamin-A levels in children who are "at risk" of vitamin-A deficiency may last little more than 56 days. This may in part be explained by degrees of inaccuracy of serum-vitamin-A levels in representing true vitamin-A status. The short-term effect of a large vitamin-A dose may be greatest when regular dietary intake is most restricted, but routine intake of as little as 15-30 grams of dark green leafy vegetables per day may extend to several months the protective period afforded by a single large dose of vitamin A.
Three basic systems are employed to distribute vitamin A to the "at-risk" community: medical, targeted, and universal. Medical distribution (essentially, treating those presenting with deficiency signs or infection in endemic areas) is usually incorporated into the other two systems and has not been independently evaluated. Targeted distribution focuses on specific high-risk groups, defined usually by age and/or location. One targeted system that has been evaluated, in Haiti, showed a ninefold reduction in corneal xerophthalmia three years after initiation of the programme. Other environmental improvements may have contributed to this reduction in disease as well. Targeted delivery can be expected to reach only 10%-15% of the "at-risk" population at existing levels of utilization of the health services. A routine dosing schedule is also difficult to achieve. While effectiveness may be less than that expected from a high-coverage universal distribution, higher target-group specificity and efficiency could make targeted delivery a more attractive option. Before making full use of the present health-care system for targeted delivery, the opportunity costs associated with conducting universal distribution should be explored.
The effectiveness of universal distribution in preventing mild xerophthalmia is, in part, directly related to coverage. A 75%80% reduction in prevalence among one- to four-year-olds has been repeatedly associated with universal distribution that achieves at least 65% coverage. For example, in the Philippines, reduction in xerophthalmia of nearly 70% was directly attributable to capsule distribution. Conversely, no measurable impact on xerophthalmia has been observed when coverage has been less than 25%. In the Philippines, an 80% associated reduction in xerophthalmia could be linked to a 70% reduction in disease directly attributable to capsule distribution. Above 85% coverage, the effectiveness of universal delivery in preventing the less prevalent but more severe corneal xerophthalmia may be high as 90%.
Vitamin-A distribution-programme infrastructure tend to be similar, administered by the ministry of health and implemented through local health centres. Originally designed to be single-purpose, vitamin-A delivery is being increasingly built into health services, with nutrition-education components.
Programme efficiency needs to be sustained at practically every level. Problems arise in ensuring the uninterrupted supply of vitamin-A doses, in supervision, training, and retraining of personnel, and in administration (e.g. record-keeping). Maintaining acceptable coverage at each distribution cycle represents a formidable challenge to almost every vitamin-A distribution programme. Declining target group coverage is likely to be the single most important cause of ineffective xerophthalmia prevention.
Information on programme costs and effects is still scarce. Development of a standard budget schedule has been recommended by WHO. Suitable indicators of cost-effectiveness include the cost per dose recipient and cost per target-group recipient. On the basis of the sparse data available, the current cost per six-monthly dose recipient may be about US$0.44 per year in a universal-delivery system, and between US$0.22 and US$0.33 per capsule distributed in a targeted system.
Biological cost-effectiveness indicators include the cost per percent change in the prevalence or incidence of xerophthalmia, and possibly in mortality rates. Such information requires concurrent data on programme costs and effects, which are rare as yet. Preliminary benefit-cost analysis shows that the benefits of preventing xerophthalmia calculated in monetary terms can far outweigh programme costs, thus supporting the continued use of periodic vitamin-A distribution campaigns. Given the emerging evidence that vitamin-A supplementation may reduce mortality among children with even mild vitamin-A deficiency, the benefits from improving vitamin-A nutrition in a population may be even greater than those so far assessed.

(7) Whether there is any current order for restitution, protection, restraining order or other no contact order prohibiting the petitioner from contacting the victims or whether there has ever been a prior order for restitution, protection or restraining order prohibiting the petitioner from contacting the victim. If there is such a current order, petitioner shall attach a copy of that order to his or her petition;
(8) The courts disposition of the matter and punishment imposed, if any;
(9) Why expungement is sought, such as, but not limited to, employment or licensure purposes, and why it should be granted;
(10) The steps the petitioner has taken since the time of the offenses toward personal rehabilitation, including treatment, work or other personal history that demonstrates rehabilitation;
(11) Whether petitioner has ever been granted expungement or similar relief regarding a criminal conviction by any court in this state, any other state or by any federal court; and

The prosecutorial office that had jurisdiction over the offense or offenses for which expungement is sought shall serve by first class mail the petition for expungement, accompanying documentation and any proposed expungement order to any identified victims.
(e) Upon receipt of a petition for expungement, the superintendent of the State Police; the prosecuting attorney of the county of conviction; the chief of police or other executive head of the municipal police department wherein the offense was committed; the chief law-enforcement officer of any other law-enforcement agency which participated in the arrest of the petitioner; the superintendent or warden of any institution in which the petitioner was confined; the magistrate court or municipal court which disposed of the petitioner's criminal charge; all other state and local government agencies whose records would be affected by the proposed expungement and any other interested individual or agency that desires to oppose the expungement shall, within thirty days of receipt of the petition, file a notice of opposition with the court with supporting documentation and sworn statements setting forth the reasons for resisting the petition for expungement. A copy of any notice of opposition with supporting documentation and sworn statements shall be served upon the petitioner in accordance with trial court rules. The petitioner may file a reply no later than ten days after service of any notice of opposition to the petition for expungement.
(f) The burden of proof
shall be on the petitioner to prove by clear and convincing evidence that: (1)
The conviction or convictions for which expungement is sought
are the only
convictions against petitioner and that the conviction or convictions are
not excluded from expungement by subsection (j) (i) of this
section; (2) that the requisite time period has passed since the conviction or
convictions or end of the completion of any sentence of incarceration or
probation; (3) petitioner has no criminal charges pending against him or her;

by his or her behavior since the conviction or convictions, evidenced that he
or she has been rehabilitated and is law-abiding; and (6) any other matter
deemed appropriate or necessary by the court to make a determination regarding
the petition for expungement.
(g) Within sixty days of the filing of a petition for expungement the circuit court shall:
(1) Summarily grant the petition;
(2) Set the matter for hearing; or
(3) Summarily deny the petition if the court determines that the petition is insufficient or, based upon supporting documentation and sworn statements filed in opposition to the petition, the court determines that the petitioner, as a matter of law, is not entitled to expungement.
(h) If the court sets the matter for hearing, all interested parties who have filed a notice of opposition shall be notified. At the hearing, the court may inquire into the background of the petitioner and shall have access to any reports or records relating to the petitioner that are on file with any law-enforcement authority, the institution of confinement, if any, and parole authority or other agency which was in any way involved with the petitioner's arrest, conviction, sentence and post-conviction supervision, including any record of arrest or conviction in any other state or federal court. The court may hear testimony of witnesses and any other matter the court deems proper and relevant to its determination regarding the petition. The court shall enter an order reflecting its ruling on the petition for expungement with appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law.
(i) No person shall be
eligible for expungement of a conviction and the records associated therewith
pursuant to
the provisions of subsection (a) of this section for any
violation involving the infliction of serious physical injury; involving the
provisions of article eight-b of this chapter where the petitioner was eighteen
years old, or older, at the time the violation occurred and the victim was
twelve years of age, or younger, at the time the violation occurred; involving
the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument; of the
provisions of subsection (b) or (c), section nine, article two of this chapter
where the victim was a spouse, a person with whom the person seeking
expungement had a child in common or with whom the person seeking expungement
ever cohabitated prior to the offense; any violation of the provisions of
section twenty-eight of said article; a conviction for driving under the
influence of alcohol, controlled substances or a conviction for a violation of
section three, article four, chapter seventeen-b of this code or section
nineteen, article eight of this chapter.
(j) If the court grants the petition for expungement, it shall order the sealing of all records in the custody of the court and expungement of any records in the custody of any other agency or official, including law-enforcement records. Every agency with records relating to the arrest, charge or other matters arising out of the arrest or conviction that is ordered to expunge records shall certify to the court within sixty days of the entry of the expungement order that the required expungement has been completed. All orders enforcing the expungement procedure shall also be sealed. For the purposes of this section, "records" do not include the records of the Governor, the Legislature or the Secretary of State that pertain to a grant of pardon. Such records that pertain to a grant of pardon are not subject to an order of expungement. The amendment to this section during the fourth extraordinary session of the Legislature in the year 2009 is not for the purpose of changing existing law, but is intended to clarify the intent of the Legislature as to existing law regarding expungement.
(k) Upon expungement, the proceedings in the matter shall be deemed never to have occurred. The court and other agencies shall reply to any inquiry that no record exists on the matter. The person whose record is expunged shall not have to disclose the fact of the record or any matter relating thereto on an application for employment, credit or other type of application.
(l) Inspection of the sealed records in the courts possession may thereafter be permitted by the court only upon a motion by the person who is the subject of the records or upon a petition filed by a prosecuting attorney that inspection and possible use of the records in question are necessary to the investigation or prosecution of a crime in this state or another jurisdiction. If the court finds that the interests of justice will be served by granting a petition to inspect the sealed record, it may be granted.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to eliminate the requirement that a person have no prior or subsequent convictions, other than minor traffic violations, in order to seek to have a criminal conviction expunged. The bill also makes a technical correction.
Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from a heading or the present law and underscoring indicates new language that would be added.

Believe it or not, it has been 5 years since the first Parallel party all they way back in 2007 in Ghent, Belgium. Things changed a lot in the meantime; PARALLEL moved from Ghent to Bavaria and then finally to Berlin.
It grew into a booking agency, a family of creative, likeminded people.
Here in Berlin we met the guys from Tel Aviv based Legotek records, which are accidentally celebrating their 5 years existence as well. So we came up with the idea to join forces and throw a big party together!
We chose :// ABOUT BLANK, as it is our favorite underground club in Berlin. We got one House and one Techno floor for you! Come early, leave late.

After a fifteen year hiatus I recently began brewing beer again. While gathering tools and supplies for bottling, I came across this handsome bottle capper. The typical countertop model (looks like a juicer) that takes up counter and cabinet real estate. This stainless steel capper attaches to your drill press. Instead of adding another unitasker to your life, it extends the use of a tool you probably already own. Brilliant. I immediately ordered one from the eBay listing.
I'm pleased to report that it is precisely machined, heavy-duty, and works like a charm. I chucked it into my drill press, filled a bottle, placed the bottle on a rubber mat on the press table, covered the bottle top with a cap provided by my friend Mark Allen of Machine Project, (I still owe you some homebrew!), and crimped it down by turning the drill press's feed handle (please note, you don't actually turn on the drill press when doing any of this). Perfectly capped.
I can't recommend this bottle capper more highly; it's inexpensive, takes up very little space, and gets the job done effectively.
Stainless Steel Bottle Capper For Use With Drill Press $13.45 shipped.

Ah - now, this is VERY interesting.... He was researching Jilly Kelley.
And as I have been pointing out since Petreaus' failed October Surprise coup at Benghazi, Jilly Kelley doesn't exist.
Or at least she didn't prior to around April of 2012.
She was a journalist and a "socialite" no one has ever heard of.
Because she's undercover FBI - she's part of the anti-coup and sedition task force of the FBI that Obama ordered Robert Meuller to put in place to police the CIA, Pentagon brass and the disloyal, right-wing elements within the intelligence community in the wake of the Abumutalleb debacle over Flight 258, Christmas 2009.
Obama has known for certain there is an active, ongoing effort to detablise and overthrow his administration via domestic covert operations and cannily opted to capitalize on the well-known inter-agency rivalries to play them off against one another - this may explain why in the last few years, the power and abuses of power at the Bureau as opposed to CIA have been once again in the ascendant as they were in the early 1990s and much of Clintons two terms.
Which means the FBI probably offed Hastings on Meuller's say-so.
They have gone notably and openly homicidally fascist of late, even to the extent of turning on their own.
Or engaging in the kinds of behavior that we know (thanks to FOIA) that Eric Holder has in the past tactlessly referred to in DoJ emails as:
That's a fairly obscure and meandering reference, but if it leaves you somewhat cold, trust when I tell you - it's dark, let's say that.
When appearing before a judge, is seems that there are Trentadus and
Long story, and rather sad.

Could poison corn left on the floors of Watertown's salt shed spread poison throughout the town?
Could poisoned corn left on the floors of Watertown's salt shed spread poison throughout the town?
One Department of Public Works employee, Dan Melanson, a lifelong Watertown resident and DPW employee of 23 years, thinks it might."You're playing Russian roulette with the public, and they don't know they're playing," Melanson said.
Melanson was afraid the poisoned corn, spread throughout the DPW's salt shed by Waltham-based Waltham Services, could cause poison to leach into the groundwater surrounding the DPW yard, which abuts Victory Field, or into the salt itself. The company had a permit from the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife to spread the corn.
A clear watermark on the giant pile of salt in the shed suggested water was recently in the shed, and damp salt, with several kernels of corn, covered the shed's floor.
In response to the piles of corn in the shed, on Sept. 18, Teamsters Local 25, the union covering DPW workers, filed a grievance with the town saying the poisoned corn created "a hazardous work place" that could result in the "potential poisoning of all employees."
The poisoned corn is a product called Avitrol. Avitrol's web site says the corn is intended to create a fright reaction in birds but frequently kills them. "There will always be some mortality with Avitrol," the Avitrol Web site warns. "On some species Avitrol may be used as an avicide."
Waltham Services thinks differently. "Neither the product, Avitrol, nor the program is intended to be lethal to pigeons," Waltham Services said in a press release sent out after the TAB's print deadline Thursday.Furthermore, Avitrol's warning label says otherwise. "Birds that react and alarm a flock usually die," it says.
The product's warning states explicitly that the corn should not be placed anywhere near water. "Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to areas below the mean high water mark," the warning label reads.The label said it is a violation of federal law to use the product in a way that goes against the warning label. In response to the union's grievance, Superintendent of Public Works Gerry Mee wrote a letter to Town Manager Michael Driscoll.
"Local 25 has filed informal grievances related to pigeon droppings at the DPW Central Motors Bay and the DPW salt shed. The grievances allege that the pigeon droppings pose a health hazard to all the employees," the letter said.Town Councilor Angie Kounelis sees the union's grievance to be more related to the poison spread in the DPW shed. "It's troubling," Kounelis said. "We don't want any town employee to be placed in a situation detrimental to their health."
Avitrol has been the subject of several health-risk related issues across the country. It's banned in New York, San Francisco and Great Britain. One particularly gruesome event occurred in Las Vegas in 2003. That year, a Las Vegas family filed a lawsuit against a pest control company and the owners of their apartment building saying they were unwittingly exposed to the poison. Lisa Casey, the mother of three children, became persistently nauseated, experienced menstruation so irregular she required a hysterectomy, and lost 26 pounds in a single month. Her suit claims those were effects of exposure to Avitrol.Mee said employees of the DPW and Watertown residents had little to worry about. "The ratio that the state allows is a one-to-nine [poisoned kernel to safe kernel] ratio. Waltham Services is using one-to-20."
Mee gave the Town Council Tuesday night a different figure. He said Waltham Services was using a one-to-27 poisoned kernel-to-safe kernel ratio.Furthermore, Mee said, "We didn't put corn around for people to step in."
In their press release, Waltham Services said, "This product was not applied to the floor of the 'salt barn' during any of the services rendered."
But photos supplied to the TAB by Melanson throw statements from Mee and Waltham Services into doubt. The photos identify several piles of corn on the floor of the shed: one by the door, two on the left-hand side of the shed by the wall, under the high-water mark, and two on the opposite side of the wall, one of which is still there.Mee said, "If I hired a professional company, and they did something wrong? They're responsible. Not me."
Mee's memo to Driscoll said explicitly "Waltham Services is not treating the ground areas, and they are not treating the contents of the salt shed."
Mee told the Town Council the same thing. "I've spoken numerous times to Waltham Services, and Waltham Services delivery states the corn is placed on two locations at the DPW facility: inside the salt shed on top of the liquid calcium tank; and also on the roof of the DPW building."Waltham Services declined to comment on their work in the DPW yard.
Melanson and Kounelis are worried if any contaminants got into the salt, they could be passed along into the street, eaten by dogs or other pets, tracked throughout Watertown, into peoples' homes or seep into the groundwater.
"I don't know if this is an exaggeration, if it's possible, but I don't think it's not possible," Kounelis said. "There are these ramifications, but we're being told these ramifications don't exist."
Kounelis also said that since November, the DPW has spent $49,000 cleaning up pigeon droppings and keeping the birds out of the shed. The costs covered items including putting spikes on top of a pipe inside the building, and placing wire mesh in front of exposed beams on the sides of the salt shed.
Melanson said if Mee installed a door on the DPW shed, pigeons would not be able to get in, and the salt would be uncontaminated by pigeon droppings and other contaminants that come in on the wind and rain.
Mee said a door would not be possible, citing a verbal price quote he received from an unspecified contractor, to the tune of $84,000. Melanson said a door would be the only way to completely deal with the pigeon problem.
"I'm not happy we're taking this step, but I do believe we're spending tax dollars appropriately to address the matter," Mee said. "I don't believe it would be appropriate to continue to spend our money cleaning up pigeon feces."Town Manager Michael Driscoll did not return calls for comment for this report.

Wearing your heart on your sleeve
In 2012 Brian Rocked the Olympic closing Ceremony with his legendary guitar solo of 'Brighton Rock' followed by 'We Will Rock' with Jessie J and Roger Taylor. It was a fantastic night for sport, for music and for Britain. Brian wore a spectacular suit for the ceremony.
Statement on Brian's Olympic suit released on 12th August 2012
'Brian's Jacket designed for the Olympics was in keeping with a core theme that ran through the opening ceremony. The UK is world renowned for its green countryside and the rich wildlife that inhabits it. Our landscape and wild animals have inspired books, films and songs internationally. Brian is well know for his passion for wildlife and it was a natural step to add these creatures to his jacket. He has become involved in the care and rehabilitation of wildlife in recent years and this has motivated him to found Save Me, a group that gives a voice to wild animals. The jacket features wildlife close to Brian heart including a fox, badger, hedgehog, buzzard, two herons and an adder most of which are protected or in decline.' By Anne Brummer

FamilySearch.org has been actively indexing Canadian records for a number of years. They have currently completed two projects, and have recently started another three projects.
The ones they have just completed are the British Columbia Deaths (1872-1986) and Marriages (1859-1932).
The new ones that they have just taken on is the Deaths (1872-1986) Part 2 of British Columbia, and the Indexing of the Trust Cemeteries (1826-1935) of Toronto.
There was a piece about the Toronto Trust Cemeteries in the November 2009 issue of the OGS' newsletter, NewsLeaf, on page 70 under "News Briefs" in which the project was described, and the cemeteries named which are included in the project. It is 1% complete.
Another project which they have recently started is Registres Paroissaux of Montreal (1800-1900) which is 8% complete. It is in French.
You can help by volunteering to help at FamilySearchIndexing.org and the completed projects and digital image collections can be searched for free at Pilot.FamilySearch.org.

On CodeIgniter.com today there's a new blog post hoping to clear up any confusion about the Community Branch of the framework and the NDA that would be required for those developers on the project.
The confusion lies in the purpose of the NDA, and the scope of what it covers. The branch's development will not be under NDA, nor will discussions between the deputies and the community, how they receive code submissions, what they reveal to others about their own plans, and so on.
The NDA does, however, cover any discussions that might be had with the EllisLab group about the structure and guidelines concerning the development of the branch. It's not designed to keep the community out of the development process but rather to keep things about ElliLab's other products out of the larger flow of ideas.

California is in for a huge financial shock.
For many Californians, the debate over deficit reduction in Washington, D.C. has seemed distant and disconnected from our problems here.
Complete coverage of the debt limit crisis here.
That's changing quickly. We will feel the pain of the change here in ways unimaginable until now.
The numbers tell the story.
This past year, California received nearly $80 billion in federal funds.
That's almost as much as the entire state budget of $86 billion.
The money went for all kinds of programs--support for higher education research, school lunches, food stamps, highway construction, coastal protection, alternative energy development, you name it--not to mention the Big Three, Social Security payments, Medicare, and Medicaid.
The levels of support for all these programs and more are about to decline precipitously.
How so?
We begin with a little math, California style. Let's say that Congress reduces spending by $2 trillion dollars over the next ten years.
In rough terms that means a reduction about $200 billion dollars annually. Sure, it may be a little less in the early going and a little more toward the end of the decade, but let's just go with an annual average.
California has about one-eighth of the nation's population, and one-eighth of $200 billion is $25 billion annually.
Why is that important? Because the state can expect a decline of payments for various programs and services in proportion to the national reduction.
One way or another, that's about 30 percent less than California received this year from the federal government when considering the $80 billion.
That's a huge financial shock to the system.
To be sure, the cuts won't be across the board. The funding for some programs will be reduced more, others less, but overall we'll lose about $25 billion annually.
Considering the shaky condition of the state's economy and the reluctance of California to pony up more taxes for our already paltry state budget, the federal cutbacks will be devastating to the state.
Suddenly, the national deficit debate has meaning for California in profound ways that few will fully comprehend until the checks stop arriving. Ouch.

Band sticks to the basics
Last Anniversary doesn't complicate things when it comes to music
There are those who overcomplicate the genius that is lyric writing and there are those who embrace the beauty of basics. Menifee-based quartet, Last Anniversary, is all about the basics.
"Life is inspiration," Tyler-James Anderson said.
"Love, depression, death, government," Chris Hahn said. "I have some interesting views on the way the world works, and I enjoy writing about them. Music that had always caught my attention had depth and sincerity lyrically. So I want the same for the people listening to our songs.
"We're focused on keeping the mentality that if we always write what we enjoy as individuals; the four of us will indeed create something unique. Hopefully."
Last Anniversary
When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: Bratts, 27648 Ynez Road, Temecula
Admission: free
Phone: (951) 296-9993
Online: thevaultconcerts.com
While Hahn and fellow vocalist Brittany Sellers have been performing under the name Last Anniversary for three years, the line-up didn't become complete until Anderson and drummer Paul Cortez were incorporated into the mix.
"Around 2010 I had been playing in punk bands for like seven years," Hahn said. "Feeling burned out, I decided I wanted to venture off into a new direction with music, but with the same mindset lyrically. I always knew my niece, Brittany, was a great singer so we immediately started jamming that summer."
Last Anniversary plays Saturday at Bratts in Temecula — a show that doubles as the band's CD release party, and part of Support Local Music Saturdays. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show is open to 21 and older.
"Bratts is such a chill environment filled with awesome people and great music," Cortez said. "Expect some good music and great vibes. If you're not bobbing your head by the end of our set, then you're not listening."

REAL ID Revival Bill Introduced in Senate
Though it's not yet available, word has it that a bill to revive the REAL ID Act has been introduced in the Senate.
Its sponsors are an unlikely group: Senators Akaka (D-HI), Tester (D-MT), Baucus (D-MT), Carper (D-CT), Leahy (D-VT), and Voinovich (R-OH). REAL ID was dead in the water, but with a name change and a few burrs taken off, these five senators may just give it life once again.
Watch this space for posts as I analyze the bill and the politics. I'll examine closely the substance of the "PASS ID Act." I'll try to figure out how both Senators from Montana — a state that rejected REAL ID flat out — became leaders in the fight to revive it.
More on the politics: As the stars lined up for repealing REAL ID outright, the Senate negotiated a compromise … with nobody. And I'll look at something everyone is studiously ignoring — whether a national ID (by any name!) would actually do any good for the country!

I will post my next blog entries here and I have moved my olders blogs to that location. For me it's okay that the trust metric system of advogato is broken. However, also the RSS feed of advogato doesn't always work. Therefore I decided to move my stuff. Nevertheless, thanks to advogato for their hosting facilities. I do need, however, a little bit more stability and I do like some of the features modern blog systems offer.
Bye bye advogato

text: This gorgeous Romanian blonde has an absolutely knockout figure with long, lean, perfect hourglass curves. Naturally quiet, she would rather see what you can do and likes to be surprised with having a man take control. Her most sensitive areas are the back of her neck, between her toes, and the tight little rosebud of her ass. She loves to have all of these teased, especially with tongue, and will go from shy and demure to a growling minx when you hit just the right spot. Blanche is new to Brazzers, and seeing her sexy curves has been an excellent discovery.

Voters in Massachusetts reflected the national mood in rejecting the business-as-usual choice of an institutionally chosen replacement for Senator Kennedy and installed instead truck-driver given to contradictory words – a real politician ! – while Obama recoiled and took a populist turn on that opportune target of the moment, bankers. The stock market in response took a dive, and the Supreme Court, ruling in a matter which could have led to a narrow decision decided instead to open the floodgates of corporate spending on election campaigns. Perhaps this will result in a new law stating explicitly that corporations are not "persons" and do not have the same Constitutional rights and protection of real persons. Or perhaps it will result in a while in a government 100% of, by, and for the corporations which in fact govern a massive amount of the national political culture (and most other culture) already.

Want a Free SEOmoz PRO Account? Prove It!Blog Post: February 19, 2009
Dear Lisa,I can't compose a humorous love letter, or infringe upon popular movies for a heartbreaking sob story. I'm just not that creative (or willing to engage in a lawsuit).
I am a very recent account on SEOmoz...simply because my company wouldn't pay for a pro account, and I didn't need to sign in for anything else. I moved to a new company that would gladly pay for an account - if they had the resources. I signed up because I saw this post and a golden opportunity to satisfy my dream! But that's not why I should get the PRo Account.
At the risk of sounding stalkerish (stalker-y?), I've been following The Lisa since you started blogging at Bruce Clay - those blog posts always managed to put a smile on my face. I followed your blog posts to We Build Pages, and then to Outspoken Media. And they continue to put a smile on my face (while keeping me educated and up-to-date in the industry). Also, live-blogging? A skill that eludes the masses, major kudos. (Is that enough sucking up?)
I can get most of the information I need from other tools, I'll admit it. I've been doing SEO for quite a while, I've learned how to finesse individual tools, add-ons, etc to get the relevant information. But it would be nice for once to get my information from one consolidated source! Especially since it will cut down on the time I spend doing research for my freelance, non-profit projects. So really, one account will satisfy two different needs! What could be better? It's like killing two birds with one stone - metaphorically.
And I promise (pinky-swear) - if you give me this PRO Account, I will strive to be worthy of it. I will submit questions to Q&A, post to YOUmoz, share my own insights and knowledge with anyone who wants it, and generally become active in the community.
In the end, whoever you give this PRO Account to will use it well. So, fingers crossed, and let the dice fall as they may.

I love the quality and luxury that Bella Materna offers nursing moms. If you think you will be able to continue wearing your current bras once you have your baby and start nursing then think again. You need a bra that offers easy access for nursing and that is made with nursing breasts in mind. Your breasts need different things when nursing to stay healthy. You don't want to develop a clogged milk duct or mastitis so wearing the proper bra will help. Not all nursing bras are ugly either! Bella Materna has a fantastic line of bras that will give you all you need while nursing while still looking fabulous and beautiful.
I tried out the plunge t-shirt bra and loved how comfortable it was! I chose this bra because it works great for both maternity and nursing. As your pregnancy progresses you will notice your breasts growing in size and you will likely outgrow your current bra. This bra can take you from maternity to breastfeeding and it's comfortable and gorgeous!
The Plunge t-shirt bra has moulded cups for smooth coverage and extra support. It also has 3 extra sets of hook and eye closure at back for use as a maternity bra. The wide plush band at the hem offers comfort and support.
Another feature I love about the plunge t-shirt bra is that you can change the configuration of the bra to fit the shirt you are wearing. The convertible racer back hook option is built in. Easily change it to fit whichever shirt you wear that day!
Bella Materna offers a full line of maternity and nursing bras and they are all fabulous! I wore one with my last baby and just loved it. It was comfortable and convenient for nursing while still being beautiful and not at all ugly like so many nursing bras out there!
You can buy the Bella Materna Plunge t-shirt bra and many others on their site! They have a wide range of bras and sizes to choose from!
Win! One reader will win your choice bra from Bella Materna! Enter below. Good luck!

I'm fairly confident that the problem is with my compiler, not the tutorials. These tutorials line up with other things I've seen before, which means they're obviously accurate.
Why don't the tutorials on this site work on my computer? In the tutorials section of the site, under "Intro to C++", there is a program that the author wrote that tells cout to say, "Hey you i'm alive oh and hello world," and causes main() to return the value of 1. It was recommended by the author to try this out on my computer, so I did, using Microsoft Visual C++ .net 2003. It did not work. Even doing similar variants to it, it would not work. I also wrote the program with the int variable thisisanumber, and that would not work.
My compiler keeps on coming back with this message:
unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive.
Believe me, I am doing everything the author says. I've even tried my own programs according to what he/she wrote was acceptable, and my compiler came back with the same message, not compiling what I wrote. Why?
I think it has something to do with the selection for precompiled headers I'm using, but even writing stereotypical C programs using other headers doesn't seem to work right.

The Gaumee Party has submitted a revision to People's Majlis on the "protest bill" which will effectively relegate protesting and demonstrations against working conditions in resorts to Maumoon era. Although the party maintains that the revisions are to protect the workers rights, its far from truth. The most probable reason for these revisions to law seems to be that the Gaumee Party has received fat wads of money from the Universal Group, following the protests at Kurumba Maldives. The party has effectively given up on support of the people as its popularity is at an all time low and funding from resort owners are most welcome at tough times.
Under the new proposed revisions to the "protest bill", the employers will have to be given 2 days notice prior to a strike, which is ample time for the employers to serve warning letters, suspensions, dismissals or anything to prevent a strike. Also the revisions require protests be legal only during daytime and for 2 days. Such restrictions on freedom to demonstration against perceived injustices, will be laughed at in most countries in the world. However it remains to be seen how the Majlis (parliament) will react to the revisions. The signs are not encouraging as the Majlis is filled with opposition candidates who are basically against everything the government does or says be it good or bad! The right to protest and the right to freedom of speech were effectively wrestled from Maumoon era by force by freedom loving people. Its sad that the same rights and privileges are going to be scrapped by the Majlis under the spell of corruption, money and self interest, contrary to all spirits of democracy and liberalism.
In an infant democracy like Maldives, where big business are trampling the rights of the workers by habit, such facilities as red-tape on demonstrations, will only embolden the employers to do more harm to the rights of the workers.
Its no surprise that Universal Group may lobby for such amen
dments to the constitution by pouring substantial monies to political parties like the DQP, as the Universal Group is not known for its respect of the rule of law, or by fair-play in business, or care to workers. If the amendments go through the parliament and get passed by the half-awake majlis, it will be a sad day for the country and a gloomy one for the workers. Workers in the tourism sector in Maldives are indisputably the most productive and useful for the country as a whole and yet the most neglected in some resorts. Although there are resorts which treat workers fairly, these resorts are few and far between. However as always happen in real life, the bad guys need not be many, they need to be effective: in this case, this is like the Universal Group against the whole country and thousands of nameless faceless workers and they are poised to win thanks to corruption and self interest.

Havas has hired a longtime WebMD exec to lead Havas Life New York.
Dorothy Gemmell, who was SVP, sales and sales operations at WebMD, becomes president of the 170-person shop, which was formerly known as Euro RSCG Life MetaMax.
Gemmell spent 13 years at WebMD, where she sat on the executive leadership committee. In her most recent role there, she was responsible for leading WebMD's global biopharmaceutical and medical device businesses, along with WebMD The Magazine and its sales, revenue and advertising operations groups. She grew the company's sales staff from 20 to more than 130 employees as sales rose from $20 million to $400 million on her watch.
Gemmell got her start in healthcare marketing as a sales rep for Upjohn in 1989. She calls herself a career "serial monogamist" – by the time she left ten years later, the company, now part of Pfizer, was called Pharmacia and she was working in global marketing, on the antibiotic Zyvox. She joined Medscape, a client from her Pharmacia days.
"I'd spent money with them back in '97, because I worked in HIV and I saw the power of the Internet at disseminating clinical information," said Gemmell, "the speed of it. At that time, everyone wanted the data yesterday because it was saving lives."
When she joined the professional portal, two years before its acquisition by WebMD, it had a staff of 100.
"It was a great team of people really passionate about this new thing, The Internet," she said.
In the intervening years, she ran both the consumer and the professional sides of the business, selling DTC and direct-to-physician advertising and services as the portal snowballed in size and reach.
She takes the helm of Havas' most global shop. Sixty percent of Havas Life New York's business involves ex-US work, with clients including Sanofi, Genentech, Biogen Idec, Teva and Santren, along with Walgreens, Nestle Nutrition and consumer packaged goods giant Sun Products, which owns the Wisk and Snuggle detergent brands. Gemmell would like to see the agency's portfolio diversified further still.
"They've been really successful at diversifying the brands they work with," she said, "and there's a huge opportunity to continue that growth path. Whether it's pharma/biotech or CPG, customers need better partners that can deliver full services across unified platforms and help them navigate better ways to communicate, engage and connect with people. Havas is well-positioned to address that need because of their expertise and their broad range of services."
Her availability, said global CEOs Doug Burcin and Donna Murphy in a statement, "presented us an opportunity to bring in a fresh leadership perspective on one of our most significant unified health and wellness agency brands. She will help us drive continued agency growth and diversity."
Gemmell replaces a team of co-managing directors, Laurel Rossi and Marc Porter, at the shop. Rossi is back to running the agency she founded and sold to Havas, Strat Farm, full time, while Porter has left the company.
Havas reported 2012 revenue this morning. Details on the French holding company's healthcare business were slim, but the report flagged new business wins with GSK, Novartis, Sanofi and Mead-Johnson Infant Nutrition.

If you're around my age, prepare to feel ambivalent about a remake of a property from your childhood! Waterman Entertainment has acquired the rights to The Brave Little Toaster with plans to turn it into a (gulp) CGI/live-action hybrid feature. The original 1987 cartoon follows a toaster, a lamp, an electric blanket, a radio, and a vacuum cleaner on a quest to find their original owner. It was the most beautiful and terrifying piece of work that 5-year-old Brendan watched a hundred times. I don't mind that producer Steve Waterman is dusting off the story for a new take, but his most recent credits are comprised of the Alvin and the Chipmunks trilogy, so my expectations are low.
Hit the jump for the Brave Little Toaster trailer and details on another adaptation, Born Free.
It has been a long time since I have seen The Brave Little Toaster, but watching that trailer stirred up the feelings deep within me. I don't know that I have seen any kids' movie since that achieves quite the same tone, but Paranorman is a pretty good comparison.
The Wrap reports that Waterman Entertainment has also optioned the 1960 a Born Free to tell the story from the perspective of Elsa the Lioness Here is the synopsis for the 1966 movie adaptation:
Joy Adamson and her husband, Kenya game warden George Adamson, raise Elsa, a lion cub. When Elsa approaches maturity, Joy determines she must re-educate Elsa to living in the wild so that the lionesscan return to a free life. [Amazon]
Anyone from my parents' generation care to object?

Neil Armstrong Dies; Americans Pay Tribute to First Man on Moon
Neil Armstrong, who was the first man to walk on the moon, has died. He was 82. Fans are beginning to send in tributes to a man that many are honoring as a great American.
"It saddens us to report that the first astronaut to walk on the Moon has passed away," NASA posted on its Facebook page Saturday.
"rip mr armstrong. Thank you for your contributions to american history," Bonnie Jones commented.
"A true American and American hero, I have looked up to him since I was a child in the late 60's and early 70's. It is a great loss for our Country....Soar in the clouds and heavens with all the strength you shared with so many...God Speed!" Michael E Gooch wrote.
Armstrong died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures, according to a statement by his family.
Born in 1930, the Wapakoneta, Ohio, native earned an aeronautical engineering degree from Purdue University and a master's in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California.
He served as a naval aviator and flew 78 combat missions during the Korean War. Afterwards, he worked as a research pilot when he joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), NASA's predecessor. He then served as a project pilot and flew more than 200 aircraft models.
Armstrong became the first civilian to fly a U.S. spacecraft in 1966 on the Gemini 8 mission.
But what Armstrong became most famous for was his July 1969, space flight as commander of the Apollo 11 mission. Armstrong set foot on the moon on July 20 at age 38.
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," he famously stated.
For about two hours, he and astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin explored the moon, gathered more than 50 pounds of moon rocks, set up three scientific experiments and planted the U.S. flag.
From there on after, Armstrong has been greeted by Americans as a hero.
"While we mourn the loss of a very good man, we also celebrate his remarkable life and hope that it serves as an example to young people around the world to work hard to make their dreams come true, to be willing to explore and push the limits, and to selflessly serve a cause greater than themselves," his family said.
"For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."
