Hello, I'm an expat who desperately wants to return to his family in the USA. I would appreciate any advice. The good news: I have, quite honestly, a very impressive resumemany years of experience in the USA and abroadmuch of it at the university level. In addition, I am the author of several ESL-related textbooks. I have an MA in Linguistics but no teaching certification. The bad news: I am in my late 50s, which means I am likely to be the victim of age discrimination. No matter what the laws are, it still happens. And I need to make enough to support a family. Our kids are still fairly young, and a part-time, adjunct, no benefit job just wont work for me. Do I have any hope? Id really appreciate any adviceeither of a general nature or about specific employment opportunities. Im based in the Midwest but will consider anything.

Tuesday Recruitin' Pulls For Peppers
Tuesday Recruitin' Pulls For Peppers
Today's recruiting roundup covers the latest on Jabrill Peppers, a new 2014 offer, visit reactions, and more.
Must-Read Of The Week: Jabrill Peppers Feature
NJ ATH Jabrill Peppers is a state champion, honor roll student, and five-star prospect, with every major program in the country in pursuit of his signature come Signing Day. Read ESPN's Jared Shanker's feature on Peppers and his childhood in East Orange, New Jersey, however, and you'll get an appreciation for just how much he had to overcome to reach that point. His older brother, Don Curtis, was murdered in 2010 at the age of 20. Jabrill could only talk to his father, imprisoned since 2007 for a weapons charge, by phone. Peppers told Shanker that the street life in East Orange nearly sucked him in, as well:
"Oh man, I've seen people get stabbed, shot, beat up," Peppers said. "Saw my boys steal cars then crash into a light pole, other things at night, seeing guys selling the illegal products."
But ask about specifics, some of the things he has taken part in, and he clams up. He answers quickly. That smile so many people love to talk about leaves his face. He wants to move on to the next question.
"Too much to name that I got away with because of my athleticism," Peppers said. "I don't want to say too much more on that, but too much that I'm ashamed with."
Peppers has moved on to star both on and off the field; a perennial honor student, he currently holds Stanford—with their rigorous academic standards even for athletes—as his leader. Michigan is currently in his top five, joined by LSU, Ohio State, and Notre Dame. Peppers says he is a long way from a decision; wherever he goes, he's a player who will be easy to root for.
[For the latest on Michigan's most recent offer, plus visit reactions and Drake Harris's newest visit plans, hit THE JUMP.]

Chapman takes the loss after Yankees walk off
NEW YORK -- It seemed like a popup that any of three Reds players had a good chance to catch. Yet somehow, none of them did.

NEW YORK -- It seemed like a popup that any of three Reds players had a good chance to catch. Yet somehow, none of them did.
And that's how the Reds got the most frustrating of conclusions to a series filled with frustration -- with a 3-2 loss to the Yankees that meant a three-game sweep.View Full Game Coverage
"They played better than we did," manager Bryan Price said. "There is no doubt about it, and they won all three games because of it. I believe that they pitched well, they defended better. They just outplayed us. Some of the things that happened in this series are unfortunate."
Fresh from the All-Star break and with several lefty hitters in the Yankees' order, lefty closer Aroldis Chapman was summoned for the ninth inning of a 2-2 game. There was obviously no save to get -- he was asked to simply hold the Yankees and try for extra innings.
During a tough, nine-pitch leadoff at-bat in which every pitch from Chapman was 100 mph or faster, Jacoby Ellsbury fought six two-strike offerings before singling through the left side for a 4-for-4 game. Ellsbury stole second base with Mark Teixeira batting, and a wild pitch let him advance to third base. With the infield playing in, Chapman struck out Teixeira on a 101-mph, 3-2 pitch. Up came Brian McCann, who lofted a 3-2 pitch behind first base. Right fielder Jay Bruce stormed in, first baseman Todd Frazier and second baseman Skip Schumaker ran back, and they all converged.
"I went for it, kind of got turned around," Frazier said. "The wind brought it back a little bit. It was just one of those things. I thought I was under it, and I wasn't. By the time the ball was coming down, it was already too late. I made a mistake."
The ball landed safely between all three Reds for an improbable walk-off single as Ellsbury trotted home to end the game.
"It's anybody's ball. If you can get to it, it's your ball," Frazier said. "I think I was the closest one to it. I thought it was crushed at first, and I went back. No excuse."
"I don't think it was miscommunication," Bruce said. "The infield was playing in. The wind really brought it back. I thought it would be to me at first. Then it was really close to the infield. It was a crazy play. I have never seen that happen before."
McCann was surprised that no one caught the ball.
"But I'll take it, for sure," McCann said. "I just saw them, everybody was looking at each other. There was a chance, and luckily for us, it fell."
To say it wasn't a good first series out of the All-Star break for the Reds would be a strong understatement.
• The batters struck out 31 times in three games and drew only three walks.
• The Reds led for only one-half of an inning the whole series, when Schumaker's RBI ground-rule double off Hiroki Kuroda gave them a one-run edge in the top of the fifth. (The Yankees responded with two runs off ace Johnny Cueto in the bottom of the fifth.)
• The club went 1-for-21 with runners in scoring position in the series.
• No Reds pitcher worked a quality start in the three games, with All-Stars Cueto and Alfredo Simon lasting only five innings.
"Nobody likes to be swept," catcher Brayan Pena said. "We just have to regroup and go to Milwaukee and take care of business there. There's nothing we can do about this one today."
Credit reliever Sam LeCure for keeping this one tight. LeCure inherited a bases-loaded jam in the sixth from Manny Parra after a two-out error by Ramon Santiago. By escaping with a Derek Jeter fielder's choice, LeCure has stranded 52 of 54 runners over 18 such situations in his career.
LeCure worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings as the Reds added a run in the eighth against All-Star reliever Dellin Betances. Schumaker's leadoff single was erased when he was caught stealing after a rundown, and that proved costly when Frazier slugged a 3-2 Betances pitch to left field for a homer that tied the score instead of provided a lead.
The long ball gave Frazier his career-high 20th homer of the season.
"The Frazier home run really got us where we felt like we were going to come back and win that game," Price said. "We just didn't get it done. It was an unfortunate way to end the game, for sure."

Swedish slalom skier Byggmark to miss Olympics
September 11, 2013
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Swedish Alpine skier Jens Byggmark will miss the Sochi Olympics in February after tearing knee ligaments in a training fall.
The slalom silver medalist at the 2011 world championships tells Swedish media that his rehabilitation will take six months.
He is to undergo surgery on Friday.
Byggmark was injured when training in giant slalom at Saas-Fee, Switzerland.
The 28-year-old slalom specialist finished eighth in the World Cup discipline standings last season, with a best finish of third at Levi, Finland.

When voters go to the polls on primary day, Sept. 11, the Republican candidate they should choose to move on to the general election for New Hampshire governor is Ovide Lamontagne.
The decision of the editorial board here at Foster's Sunday Citizen to endorse Lamontagne in the Republican primary is one of the easier choices we will make this campaign season.
This is not to slight either Republican challenger, but it is to recognize that Lamontagne's background, experience and statesmanlike approach have earned him the opportunity to be his party's standard-bearer.
We will not dwell on Lamontagne's personal and professional resume. It is too lengthy and can easily be found on the web. Suffice it to say voters will find his curriculum vitae most bountiful — from clerking for Judge James Emmett Barrett of the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit to chairman of the New Hampshire state Board of Education.
But that resume is only part of what makes Lamontagne the right person to take on whomever will represent the Democratic Party.
Having watched Lamontagne from near and far for well more than a decade, Foster's is impressed with how this lawyer, Boy Scout volunteer, father of three and husband of 32 years has matured.
Politically, we first met Lamontagne on the campaign trail during his run for governor in 1996. At the time voters passed judgment on his experience and political skills by giving then-state Senator Jeanne Shaheen a double-digit victory and the first of three terms as governor.
Fast forward to 2010 when Lamontagne revisited the political arena, losing in the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate to Kelly Ayotte. But instead of a trouncing, Lamontagne lost by a margin narrow enough to easily justify a recount. Instead, Lamontagne showed dignity and courage. He stepped aside gracefully, allowing Ayotte to focus on the general election race she would eventually win.
In retrospect that was probably the turning point — the game-changing moment — that turned Lamontagne from what could have been another blip on the political radar screen into a serious contender for the Republican gubernatorial nomination.
Having earned widespread respect with that decision, Lamontagne brought his message of "Leadership for a change — not just ceremony" to his meeting with Foster's editorial board.
"I'll be a leader in the legislative process and I'll be proactive," Lamontagne said. "I will not be sitting in the governor's office saying, 'Here comes a bill, and I don't know what's in it,'" — a reference to what some see as outgoing Gov. John Lynch's more laid-back legislative style.
While it can be argued Gov. Lynch was the right candidate for his time, much has now changed. The New Hampshire economy hangs from a thread. The unemployment rate here in the Granite State, while better than much of the nation, has stalled. Federal stimulus money that helped the state budget limp along in recent years is gone. Meanwhile young workers continue to leave the state in search of higher paying jobs.
This — and more — dictates the next governor use the bully pulpit to shape and mold an economic plan that creates job opportunities and promotes an educational system that meets the challenges of the 21st century.
When all is said and done, the Republican best suited to meet those challenges is Ovide Lamontagne. As a result, Foster's Sunday Citizen urges Republican primary voters to give Lamontagne their clear and resounding support on Sept. 11.

G3651, New November 1995
The U.S. dairy industry has become much more competitive in recent years. As a result, profit margins are smaller. One key to remaining competitive and prospering in the years ahead is improving production per cow and milk quality and lowering the cost of producing milk. This report provides a tool to help estimate your production cost. More specifically, it provides a simple worksheet to help you estimate your monthly costs and returns per 100 pounds (hundredweight) of milk shipped. This worksheet also can be used to assess new management changes or inputs such as a TMR, megalac or POSILAC. (Information about obtaining worksheets can be found at the end of this guide.) Once costs are known, you can take steps to improve your management, lower your costs and improve profits.
You can find much of the information you need to complete this worksheet on your milk check and in your checkbook. A monthly time frame is used to help you monitor these critical costs frequently. If your feed costs, for example, are too high, it's better to find out now rather than later.
The process begins by answering a series of questions and transferring the appropriate information to the worksheets.
First, pick a month for your analysis. Enter this information on the top of the worksheet. Then, answer the following questions:
Next, let's calculate your variable cash expenses..
Now, lets move on to the rest of your variable expenses.
Now comes the hard part. You must enter the rest of your variable cash expenses. However, we only want you to reflect the portion of these expenses that were used on the dairy enterprise. For example, what portion of your monthly fuel bill did you use for cropping, and what was for the dairy enterprise? There are no rules here. For guidance, look to the example in the worksheet.
Name of farm: _______________________
Name of operator: _______________________
Month: __________________
Now that you have worked through the exercise, it's time to interpret the results.
The annual worksheet provides an estimate of your per hundredweight income, operating expenses and income over operating expenses. Income over operating expenses represents cash that is available to meet principal payments, capital replacement and family living expenses. Anything left after that represents a return to management.
Your objective is to maximize income over operating expenses. That represents your profits. You should maximize profits by improving gross receipts and controlling operating expenses.
One way to improve profits is to improve your management skills, raise milk production levels and get higher milk premiums. Consult your veterinarian, feed consultant and other professionals for help there.
Another way to improve profits is to lower your operating expenses per hundredweight of milk shipped. Two major expenses on a modern dairy farm are feed and labor. How do your feed and labor costs per hundredweight of milk shipped look? Can you lower your feed costs without reducing your net income over variable expenses? Consult your nutritionist or feed company for this answer.
If your feed costs are much below $4.50 per hundredweight, you probably did not reflect all of your true costs. Likewise, what are your labor costs per hundredweight of milk shipped? If they are much higher than $1.50 per hundredweight, you may not be competitive. Go back to your operation and assess why these costs are so high. Perhaps your operation is too labor intensive. On the other hand, your labor costs may be much lower if you are primarily using unpaid family labor and did not adequately account for this.
Look over all of your other expenses and ask yourself how you can lower these costs without sacrificing profits. In many cases, you may find you can effectively lower some expenses. An example may be machinery or truck expenses. An older truck may do for the next year or so. On the other hand, don't cut necessary expenses if it will lower your profits. For example, you may decide to cut your veterinary expenses. However, production may suffer to the point where you lower overall profits. Remember, any decision to cut expenses should be made only with an eye toward improving profits.
This worksheet should help you focus on improving your bottom line and making decisions that will lead to greater profitability.

Authorities say he sent pornographic images to teenager before meeting him
A Sarasota man was arrested today on charges that he sent pornographic images to a 15-year-old boy, then enticed the boy to have sex with him.
Authorities say Michael Thomas Christner, 33, of the 2300 block of Temple Street, met the boy online in late December and they exchanged text over the next couple of weeks. The boy said he made it clear to Christner that he is 15 years old. Despite that, Christner sent the boy explicit sexual material over the Internet, authorities said.
One day in early January the boy snuck out of his house and met Christner, who took him to an unknown location in Bradenton and the two had sex, the boy later told authorities.
In mid-January the boy contacted authorities. During an interview the boy picked Christner out of a photo lineup. Authorities interviewed Christner and said they found sexually explicit images on his phone, as well as sexually explicit text messages to the boy.
Christner was arrested and charged with one count of using a computer to entice a child to engage in sexual activity, one count of traveling to meet a minor to engage in sexual activity and 13 counts of the transmission of material harmful to minors.

Kelly Chambers, also known as Yeoman Chambers is a Psychologist and acts as an informant to Commander Shepard in Mass Effect 2. She tells him what is going on in the Normandy SR-2 including if e-mails have been received, and when crew members need to speak with him. Being a counselor, she also informs Shepard of the psychological state of the crew, similar to Traynor's role in Mass Effect 3.
EditMass Effect 3
In Mass Effect 3, Kelly Chambers can be found in the docking area of the Citadel, tending to the refugees being housed there.
If you imported a Mass Effect 2 save and owned any fish, she will have them sent back to your aquarium on the Normandy.
After Priority: Citadel 2, return to the same spot in the docks where Shepard previously found her, and overhear a conversation about Kelly's current whereabouts:
Alternatively, if you visit the Citadel again after telling Kelly to change her identity, and before completing Priority Tuchanka mission, Kelly will admit that she was providing the Elusive Man with information about Shepard and the crew whilst working for Cerberus.
If you choose the Renegade answer for this scene, Kelly will begin crying as Shepard walks away. After Priority Tuchanka has been completed, the Engineers on the Normandy will discuss Kelly as she committed suicide because of your decision.Spoiler - Click to see/hide
EditMass Effect 2
Chambers was a potential romantic interest for the male or female Shepard in Mass Effect 3. She is employed by Cerberus and is said to be working within the "Lazarus Cell." If talked too enough on the Normandy, she can offer to feed Shepard's fish when he is not around.
When Shepard and crew are off on a mission, the Collectors invade the Normandy and abduct Kelly along with most of the crew except for Joker. If you don't perform any missions between the abduction and going to the Collector's base, she can be saved along with the rest of the crew. If not then she'll die.

Observers have predicted the end of hard disk Tier 1 storage for some time, but few expected it to happen within the next few years. While SSDs in the form of non-volatile flash memory have dramatic and well-touted performance advantages, their cost per GB of storage has been far higher than the best-performing hard drives. Conventional wisdom suggested that a good economic case could be made for using flash-based products only for that portion of storage that truly required high performance (and that was considered to be only around 5% to 20% of Tier 1 storage).
In contrast, IBM contends the economics favor flash over hard disks. How can that be? Most previous analyses compared flash memory with hard disks. When storage administrators use hard disks for performance applications, they typically only load a fraction of the data that drives are designed to hold to get the necessary IOPS. Because flash has no mechanical constraints, it can deliver similar or better performance in spite of being fully loaded.
IBM has taken a different tack. Computing is not just about servers alone, but also about the networking and storage resources from a physical perspective and all the software, including applications, that have to be put together to create a "system." From IBM's system perspective, flash uses less physical space and fewer network connections, which will impact and improve overall performance. Let's examine some of the other considerations from the example that IBM presented.
• 17% fewer servers -- Fewer servers mean fewer cores and fewer network connections, and also lower power requirements.
• 74% lower environmental costs -- Flash takes up much less floor and rack space, as well as being much more environmentally (and cost) friendly in terms of power and cooling.
• 35% lower operational costs -- IBM calculated the savings in server/storage administration (people time).
• Higher storage utilization -- While flash still costs more, 50% better storage utilization, lower maintenance and simplified management helps to ameliorate the difference.
[ Join us at Interop Las Vegas for access to 125+ IT sessions and 300+ exhibiting companies. Register today! ]
Now, all these are important reasons, but the cost for flash was still about $2.1 million versus about $1.7 million for disk. While $400,000 or so dollars is nothing to sneeze at, it wasn't the compelling factor that tipped the scales dramatically:
• 38% lower software license costs -- Software is the cost tail that wags the hardware dog; lower cores and other changes drive lower costs for database and infrastructure software. This is dramatic. In the example, IBM showed costs fell from about $5M to $3.2M; these savings of $1.8M dwarf the $0.4M.
Overall the cost with all disk was $7.1M, while the cost with all flash was $4.9M. This $2.2M savings meant a savings of 30%. In IBM's view, the winner and new champion is all-flash.

Friday Caption Fun, Round 110
September 17, 2010 54 Comments
Many of you were sick, on vacation, or simply not available for at least a few days this week. While excuses were undoubtedly varied, the source of 99% of the absentee issues can probably be reduced to two words – Halo: Reach. I'm sure, as three full days have passed, you've completed the campaign, customized your Spartan, and perhaps even built something in Forge World. Or maybe you're like me, slowly working your way towards all of the above. Regardless of what aspect of Reach is keeping you busy, I do hope you'll spare a few minutes for our customary Friday festivities! Before we begin though, let's start with the traditional recapping of last week's responses.
- "Oh sure, it's quite impressive he got in there, but wait 'til he comes out. It'll be a blast!" (Zwooosh)
- "Red has learned the first lesson of not being seen: not to stand up. However, he has chosen a very obvious piece of cover…" (porge)
- "(Superintendent chime) Thank you for using Mombasa Recycling. Keep it clean!" (Anton P. Nym)
- "Elite: Go on, punch me – I DARE you!" (Nuclear Pi)
- "Upon reflection, the Elite realised that his Weighted Companion Cube cosplay outfit probably wasn't the best thing to wear during combat." (Sgt Benton)
- "Blue, if you make a "thinking outside the box" joke, I swear I'm gonna kick your ass." (MGH1138)
- "With a matter of hours left, Blue Spartan sighed with relief as he got ready to ship the last packed up Elite to Halo: Reach." (Mr Viper)

Dresses are for the Birds
Added Dec 4, 2011
by eileenramsey
Dayton, Ohio, Un...
As soon as I saw this bird fabric I knew I had to BUY IT ALL. How could I not? It matches my tattoos! So I bought it and then it languished. That is, until I got Hollywood Pattern 855 and I knew it was a match made in heaven. I did a LOT of modifications as I'm not even CLOSE to having a 30" bust or 33" hips. But it was worth it in the end. I get a lot of compliments whenever I wear this one out, even from people who do not wear vintage.
Material Notes
This is definitely some sort of polyester blend but since the print is so pretty, we'll forgive it for that, yes?

This week Willeke Van Eeckhoutte shares with us the value of writing about living with MS. She's an award-winning, irrepressible blogger and we are delighted to have her continued contribution to the MS and Me team. When tasked with an article about writing and MS, my mind always does summersaults because what could be better than writing about writing? My love for anything written has been as old as I am young. Being a proud library member, ex-library assistant and forever-friends with books, putting pen to paper was always going to happen. Two decades ago, MS crashed headfirst into my life. There was no introduction, no. This was MS, a foreign entity that lacked basic social skills. Writing was an expert psychotherapeutic net that caught me when I was in free-fall after hearing, "You and MS". Then I went to "Teach your environment about MS because too many people have the wrong idea about it". Teach I did, only not quite as professionally as I would have liked because of lack of time. That was until my pen found its way to a notebook about two years post-retirement. In 2011, I created a blog, Ireland, MS and Me and slowly, writing about Ireland morphed into writing about MS. I didn't want an overly edited site where the relationship between MS and I would be squeaky clean. No, I wanted it to be warts and all- raw, simple and calling out everything that affects me physically as well as mentally and emotionally. After all, I wanted to connect with others who were in a similarly devious and loveless relationship with their illness. As the mission statement on my blog says, I tried to make sense out of MS nonsense together with my readers. The following two years, I began to see how writing about MS brought a significant shift in my thinking. I was discovering what the new me was all about. It was as if portable X-ray images continuously peered deep inside my mind. Stress levels went down and clearer thinking about MS emerged from what I thought would be an increasingly dark, unhelpful attitude. Unshed tears turned into words and my agony healed into non-judgmental self-acceptance. Writing like this came at the right time and in the right place for me. Because I love writing by hand, I feel I can address my emotions that surround life with MS on a deeper level than when I write on a laptop. My hands, brain and environment are locked in a vacuum that is the present tense- the Here and the Now. Paper is a natural listener, one that will not leave when your sixty minutes with a therapist is over. There is an instant connection, even if your Wi-Fi goes offline. MS subconsciously began to take a step back. Of course, my symptoms were still there, but I started to recognise their value to my writing. As George Bernard Shaw once said, ''I enjoy convalescence. It is the part that makes the illness worthwhile.'' In my case, the worth of writing is felt especially when anxiety shows up during the trigeminal neuralgia attacks I get. The pain gets to hear the sound of my pen flowing on paper and that powerful pen is saying, "Shut up, you! Get the hell out of here!" The benefits of writing are legion. Writing has been scientifically proven to boost your immune system, help you feel happier as well as sleep and think better on a long-term basis. It has shown me that it is more than just a tool- it's an excellent way to learn not just about MS but about yourself as the person you never thought you could be. As such, the MS voice in my own blog has 'grown up'. I have been recognised by Everyday Health for having "a more jovial approach to MS while consistently ending posts on a happy note". This is how I feel about my life with multiple sclerosis now. An often slapstick version of what an elegant woman should be like in an often-hilarious back-and-forth between MS and me. Writing and MS have given me so much more than just giggles. This year has been very eventful what with changing DMTs and writing about it in '3443 Needles'. Quite unexpectedly, I won the 2018 Best Blog Post award in the Ireland Blog Awards competition last week, something I never thought possible. MS and writing? Definitely something to consider!

Following on from the success of the MSunderstood Café back in March of this year, we are delighted to announce that we will be bringing the MSunderstood Café in the form of a bus to various locations around the country! Check the schedule below to see where it is coming to near you! In case you missed out on the café in March, to give you an idea of what it involves you can watch the video here as to how this experiential café gave people a glimpse as to what it is like living with MS. The Café has been adapted on a specifically designed bus to provide people with a unique insight into what it is like to live with MS and some of the challenges they may face on a daily basis. MS Ireland hopes the MSunderstood Café Roadshow will build on the support created by the Café in March and highlight the urgent need for improved access to medicine and treatment for the management of MS. In recent years there has been significant improvement in medicine and treatment, however unlike other EU countries, the Irish market access system means people with MS here face significant delays. To discover more about the Patients Deserve Better campaign you can take action here We hope you are able to attend the Café on the day and please feel free to tell you friends, family and colleagues to come along! All proceeds raised on the bus will go towards MS Ireland.

Six of our MS & Me bloggers attended the National Conference last month. They tell us why they'll be back again next year. In September hundreds of people with MS left their homes and traveled to Athlone to attend our national conference. The day prior most of the speakers who presented to us had spent the day with various healthcare providers, educating them on various aspects of the diseases and living with it. For those who could not attend, we had a live stream going out across the interweb to the whole world. Having the caliber of researchers in one room for people living with the diagnosis of MS, their family, friends, and co-workers was beyond brilliant. To mingle around others who know exactly what we're going through and not have to explain – Important. A good number of the MS & Me team were in attendance and wanted you to know what they learned and why they'll be attending the event next year. Perhaps these reasons might spark you to mark your diary for 2019 as well. 1. Use it or Loose it! As much as we hate to admit it, exercise is important, keeping the brain active (reading, writing, crosswords, games and discussions), and even standing rather than sitting are important in maintaining a healthy life with MS. Physical exercise can even improve the plasticity of the brain, slowing cognitive issues. 2. Take your Vitamin D! Think of it as a mandatory supplement for people with MS, for their families, and particularly for their children. 3. Advocate for yourself. Multiple sclerosis is not a one-size-fits-all illness. People living with MS have to realize that we know our bodies and our disease better than anyone else does. Don't be afraid to question the Neurologist's advice and recommendations, and to ask for more information. 4. The importance of Brain Health really is not promoted enough (or at all) in Ireland. Services we have here are dire relative to most of the rest of Europe. An initial neurology appointment should happen within 4 weeks. It takes many of us 8 weeks to simply get a prescription. 5. Words like "Palliative Care" and "Advanced Health Directive (AHC)" may seem like frightening words, but they are not. Palliative care is not necessarily end of life related. It's about managing a condition with available tools. AHD are a way of letting our wishes be known to those we love. ADH should be discussed and updated regularly. 6. Early and aggressive intervention and treatment means better long term prognosis. Time lost is brain lost. 7. People who are engaged with MS research and MS resources live measurably better lives with their disease. Get engaged. Stay engaged. 8. Socialising can be as beneficial to brain health as crosswords. Granny always said that a cuppa with a friend was good for you 9. The genetics of MS are fascinating, and the island of Ireland has a wealth of knowledge to share with the rest of the world about the genetics of the disease. 10. Smoking is bad for MS. Like really bad. If you don't smoke; don't start. If you smoke; quit. If you've quit but relapsed into the habit; quit again… Now! 11. Some of the great minds of our age are focused on MS. Researchers from around the world came to update us on where their work has progressed and what they expect in the next years. Really remarkable stuff going on out there in the world of MS research. 12. Connecting with others with MS is important and really fun! The evening before the conference gave us a chance to get to know each other, compare stories, and have a laugh. Interestingly we all seemed to see the funny side of our crazy capers with MS and can understand one another about the difficulties. Oh, and it's a cognitive workout! We hope to see more of you at next year's conference. It's not about the big bad wolf of MS… It's about the lot of us in the brick house, working together to find our best life. Multiple sclerosis or not. Watch presentations from the day: Professor Gavin Giovanonni: MS Overview and Quality of Life. Watch here >> Dr. Jens Bansi: The Importance of Neurorehabilitation in MS.

We end our week with a bit of a downer. Today will be unseasonably cool, cloudy with a 30 percent chance of showers. Highs will only reach the mid-60s. We won't see heavy downpours that have caused spotty flooding the past two days but it will remain damp.
Tonight, the chance of showers remain as we drop back to around 60. Some of those showers tonight could have heavier rain if thunderstorms develop.
Saturday is looking only slightly better with cloudy skies, a foggy start and a chance of showers again. It will be warmer with highs in the upper-70s.
If you are looking for sun, wait until Sunday and Monday. Both of those days look beautiful with sun and seasonably warm temperatures.

Dumbed down by dominance, Part 1
And yet, the main advice that too many veterinarians and trainers still give to clients completely ignores this foundation and instead appears focused only on the human's needs:
Is this anthropocentric focus really necessary, and does it truly reflect our history with dogs?The answer to both of these questions: absolutely not. The entire concept of dominance as applied to pet dogs is almost always based on a profound misunderstanding of the shared history of dogs and humans.
The unique relationship between dogs and humans
Dogs have a relationship with humans unlike that of any other domestic animal. Dogs have been selected over time for true collaborative work with humans, and such selection has historically resulted in dog breeds and the attendant breed groupings.
The molecular data support that dogs separated from wolves from as recently as 15,000 years ago to as long as 135,000 years ago. Molecular and anthropological data support that dogs of different morphologies that were likely engaged in different tasks have lived together with humans for at least 15,000 years. Stand-alone anthropological evidence supports that dogs have lived intimately with humans for at least 30,000 years. For at least the past 2,000 years, there have been well-defined breed groups, composed of dogs of different shapes and sizes that engaged in related tasks.
Much of the physical variation in dog breeds is a consequence of overt selection for specific suites of behaviors that have a co-varying physical aspect. For example, coat type may depend on the type of behavior desired—field trial or working and show English springer spaniels look like completely different breeds, and only one of them can readily scramble through brambles.
Our unique relationship with dogs may be due to convergent evolution of canid and human social systems that was the result of like groups meeting and recognizing the power of collaborative efforts, followed by secondarily derived, homologous changes in brain function that have allowed modern humans and dogs to truly rely on each other.
Behavioral patterns shared by dogs and humans
Both humans and canids:
Among the characteristics of social behavior that dogs share with humans is that their social systems are based in deference. Additionally, associated signaling is often redundant, and most signaling or affirmation of signaling is nonvocal rather than vocal.
Recent data indicate that dogs are also comparable with humans with regard to the complex social cognition involved in understanding long-distance signals that indicate where food is hidden. Dogs are further able to communicate this information to other dogs. Dogs appear to have the ability to "fast map"—to make deductions about object class, name and action without having learned them—and to communicate this ability to humans. Like humans, dogs suffer from what we recognize as maladaptive anxiety—that which interferes with normal functioning.
Finally, when examining the rates of gene expression mutations in regional brain tissue, the only species studied to date that has comparable rates with those found in humans is the domestic dog. Such data, when taken together, suggest that humans and dogs have been working partners and companions in profound ways.

(CNN) -- A chorus of whoops and cheers greeted Steven Bridges and Michael Snell as they exited City Hall in Portland, Maine, early Saturday as the first same-sex couple to wed under a new law.
Supporters of the law allowing same-sex marriage -- passed by a referendum in November -- jumped up and down, flashed their cameras and sang the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love."
"It's very surreal still," Snell said.
The couple did not know they would be the first to take advantage of the new law.
"We finally feel equal, and happy to live in Maine," Bridges said.
Same-sex marriage rights have been denied in many states in the past, but last month, voters in Maine, Washington and Maryland decided to change that.
The Maine measure states that men and women, "relating to the marital relationship or familial relationships must be construed to be gender-neutral for all purposes."
The measure also mentions the right of clergy to refuse to wed gay and lesbian couples if it goes against their religious convictions.
The governments of Maine and Maryland had passed laws permitting same-sex marriage, but activists opposed to the laws collected enough signatures to put them on November's ballot.
In 2009, a similar referendum in Maine failed when voters rejected the governor's decision to allow same-sex marriage. This year's results represent a remarkable turnaround.
A similar scene of jubilation took place in Seattle this month, when same-sex couples were able to exchange vows for the first time.
Newly married same-sex couples in these three states have expressed hope that the U.S. Supreme Court will issue rulings favorable to their marriages.
This month, the justices said they would hear two constitutional challenges to state and federal laws dealing with the recognition of gay and lesbian couples to legally wed.
Oral arguments will probably be held in March, with a ruling by late June.
One appeal to be heard involves the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, which denies federal benefits to same-sex couples legally married in their own states.
The second is a challenge to California's Proposition 8, a voter-approved measure that took away a right of same-sex marriage that had been approved by the state's courts.
CNN's Ben Brumfield and Phil Gast contributed to this report.AlertMe

Legend has it — and it almost certainly is legend — that one midnight long ago, the blues artist Robert Johnson went down to the crossroads of two Mississippi highways and sold his soul to the Devil to become a great musician.
Johnson's song "Cross Road Blues" was immortalized by guitar god Eric Clapton. It's a powerful metaphor for a momentous decision that changes your life forever.
Now Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen is herself approaching a crossroads. And the stakes are also very high: the health of the markets and the U.S. economy over the next few years.
To succeed, Yellen will have to engineer the end of the Fed's extraordinary bond buying (quantitative easing) and start raising short-term interest rates as the economy improves. Eventually she'll also have to shrink the central bank's bloated balance sheet that $3 trillion and several rounds of QE have bought.
First of all, don't believe the gloom-and-doomers: QE3 will be history by year-end. But then the Fed boss will have to begin a carefully calibrated effort to "normalize" interest rates (a term she often uses) after years in which the federal funds rate was stuck near zero.
For the past five years, she and her predecessor, Ben S. Bernanke, have told Congress, the media and the public that the overwhelming problem is slow growth and unacceptably high unemployment.
"Unless the economy begins to grow more quickly than it has recently, the unemployment rate is likely to remain far above levels consistent with maximum employment for some time," Bernanke said at Jackson Hole, Wyo., in August 2012.
"Even with recent declines in the unemployment rate, it continues to be elevated [and] a substantial amount of slack remains in the labor market," Yellen testified before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress in May.
But now, amid clear signs the economy is recovering, Yellen and the Fed face a different challenge. While continuing to fret over the "weakness" of the labor market and even encouraging some short-term inflation, they will have to keep underlying inflation from getting out of hand.
Because after a long period in which inflation was subdued or even nonexistent, it's beginning to return. The consumer price index rose by an annualized 2.1% in May, food prices have seen their biggest increase in three years, and oil prices have jumped along with the turmoil in Iraq. Crude, of course, could tumble with a change of fortune in the Middle East. But it looks as if overall prices are rising again.
That's actually good news, because along with strong consumer confidence and soaring new-home sales reported Tuesday, it suggests a real recovery is under way and weak first-quarter GDP was likely a one-off.

Underwear in modern understanding was not known in the ancient world. The garment, the closest in shape and purpose to modern underwear, was a loincloth, and in a warm climate it was the main and independent part of the primitive vestments of the ancient man. In our time, the question of underwear slip is quite different.
FEELING FROM underwear slip
Underwear – this is the mood and self-awareness of both women and men. Even if no one today will know about what kind of underwear you have – you will feel completely different. In addition, quality and pleasant underwear for the body is very convenient. Well-made underwear slip adjusts and creates a figure. Good sitting underwear in turn allows you to sit well and rest clothes. From this follows the conclusion – putting on a set of beautiful and comfortable underwear slip, you are just doomed to look beautiful.
WHY WE NEED underwear slip
Today, in our days, underwear slip has acquired special meaning!
We wear underwear, not only because it is so necessary. Underwear can be different for different needs. Sexy underwear, sports underwear, everyday underwear and so on.
For example, a woman buys underwear for herself and for a man. Beautiful underwear slip helps to feel more confident, and in the male eyes – more attractive.
CHOOSE underwear slip
Choose and buy only such underwear, which will give you pleasure!
Buy underwear slip and enjoy!

A night in which Sonny Bill Williams won his biggest challenge in the ring descended into controversy and anger in Brisbane.
Williams claimed the vacant WBA International heavyweight belt with a unanimous points decision (97-91, 98-94, 97-91) over South African Francois Botha last night but he was out on his feet at the end and was saved by the final bell which many in the arena thought came two rounds too early. The bout also included two points deductions, allegations of sharp practice, dirty fighting and more.
Many of the 4000 crowd at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre booed the result. Williams' victory speech was drowned out.
A fight which began with levity and Botha hopping and dancing to the ring to Bob Marley's Buffalo Soldier descended into farce and bitterness, with Williams literally holding on for a victory which went 10 rounds when almost everyone else expected the fight to go to 12.
Botha, behind on points but beginning to turn the fight in the ninth round, rocked Williams with several big right hands in the 10th. The former All Black could only hold on, for which he was deducted one point. It is likely that another clean punch would have finished Williams, a point the Botha camp were only too happy to make.
In the ninth round the "White Buffalo'' was deducted a point for hitting after the break.
Botha's corner man Hardy Mileham said: "If the referee had allowed Francois to stand back, he [Williams] would have fallen. You guys could see that.
Botha added: "I've never heard of fighting 10 rounds. At the beginning of the 10th round, Hardy said: `You've got to go because they've cut it down to 10 rounds'. I said 'what?'
"I got screwed. He was out on his feet. All I had to do was push him away and he would have fallen down.''
Afterwards Williams sounded groggy and unsure about his future in the sport, although he claimed he would be happy for a rematch in Cape Town, which Botha had suggested.
Many among the crowd and media contingent were surprised when in the 10th round the ring announcer said over the public address system there were only 90 seconds to go in the fight.
There were even suggestions that the final round was 15 seconds short.
Khoder Nasser, Williams' manager, was having none of it. Striding down the corridor with the WBA International heavyweight belt over his left shoulder, he walked into Botha's dressing room and shouted at him and his entourage.
"Who won the fight? You know who won the fight,'' Nasser shouted. "Ah, wake up.''
"He could not stand. One more round, the fight was over,'' Mileham responded.
Security staff were poised to intervene before Nasser walked out.
Nasser said later: "My understanding was that it was a 10-rounder. Now if it was a 12-rounder, that's just a total misunderstanding.''
Asked about the allegations the 10th round was short, he said: "I haven't seen that but the TV will tell you. If you think that I'm dictating that bulls**t, well you can check that out. From our side of the camp we feel that there were a lot of things happening in the ring that were totally illegal.
"You saw it for yourself. Double handed [punches] at the back of the head, hitting after the break. That was happening in the 10th round because the guy got desperate and very dirty.''
He added: "If there was a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. Sonny would have prepared totally different [for 12 rounds]. And Sonny wouldn't have been like that in the last 30 seconds if he wasn't hit in certain positions as well that were totally illegal. You could see how dirty the fight was getting.''
Asked if he thought Williams was out on his feet, Nasser replied: "If you're getting punched in the back of the head it's illegal and you're going to get knocked out. Start using your brains.''
Pressed again about the time keeping in the final round, he said: "Who's got the belt, mate. See you later.''
The controversy overshadowed Williams' performance, which was impressive. In easily the toughest fight of his short career, Williams had poise, power and ring craft.
His sharp left jab opened a graze on Botha's nose and a cut above the South African's eye. After an even first round, Williams appeared to take the next four, then Botha, who often laughed at Williams' combinations, admitting he was offering advice, came back to go narrow the gap in the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds before taking the last two in a dramatic finish.

Graded NM+ 86 by SGC. One of just four graded at this level by SGC (out of an incredible 1,044 examples of all three poses graded in total to date), with only three T206 Mathewson examples ever graded higher! Stunning ultra high-grade example of Hall of Fame pitcher Christy Mathewson (dark cap pose) from the T206 White Borders series, the most popular set of the era. In addition to being in very high grade (and very deservedly so; if this card was graded Nr/Mt-Mt we would not bat an eye), the offered example is all the more noteworthy as the reverse has an advertisement for Old Mill Cigarettes. Old Mill is a scarce back, certainly not in the same league as Drum or Uzit, but unusual and seen far less often than the standard Piedmont or Sweet Caporal advertising backs. The offered card is flawlessly crisp and clean, front and back, with four sharp corners (a hint of wear in the lower left is visible only from the reverse), snow-white borders, and perfect centering. Old Mill reverse is boldly printed. An exceptionally strong NM+ gem of this Hall of Fame pitcher that would enhance or upgrade virtually any high-grade set or collection. The equivalent SMR value is $3,750 (there is no SMR value for NM+ 7.5 grade, so we have referenced the NM 7 value). Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,500++. SOLD FOR $6,518

GamerFitNation's intern Fidan writes about 5 unhealthy snacks to avoid while gaming. "Every gamer loves to sit down in front of their console or computer with a snack or two. Unfortunately, the snacks gamers choose are usually very unhealthy. This is the reason gamers are normally perceived as overweight and lazy. Here is a list of the top 5 snacks to avoid while gaming, with some healthy substitutes."
I don't eat the last three on the list, but the first two are common for me, though I'm beginning to replace the chips with sandwiches and soda with some pineapple punch.
I don't eat any snacks while i'm playing. How the hell am I supposed to keep the controller in my hand, and not get crumbs in it? Damn, do one thing at a time.
But if we take away 1&2, how will gamers get their Double XP? :(
Red Bull, the drink of champions
I eat trail mix and drink flavored water if I know I'm gonna game for a long time.

China: 'Capitulate or Things Will Get Worse'
For a Song and a Hundred Songs: A Poet's Journey Through a Chinese Prison
This Generation: Dispatches from China's Most Popular Literary Star (and Race Car Driver)
Ai Weiwei's Blog: Writings, Interviews, and Digital Rants, 2006–2009
The massacre of protesters in Beijing on June 4, 1989, and the harsh repression during the months immediately following put China into a foul mood. Among ordinary Chinese, the prestige of the Communist Party, whose leaders had ordered the brutal assault, fell to a new low. Western governments applied sanctions and (at least in public) distanced themselves from "the butchers of Beijing," to borrow Bill Clinton's phrase. Some China-watchers wondered how long the regime could hold on.
Then, it did hold on. Moreover, it grew stronger. Today China-watchers are writing about the regime's "resilience" and "adaptability." Sebastian Heilmann and Elizabeth Perry have published a conference volume called Mao's Invisible Hand, in which they describe in detail this surprising resilience. They trace its origins to Mao Zedong, whose "guerrilla policy style" permitted flexibility in all things but one: Mao stayed on top. The approach, they write,
is fundamentally dictatorial, opportunistic, and merciless. Unchecked by institutions of accountability, guerrilla leaders pursue their objectives with little concern for those who stand in their way.1
In the years since 1989, the ways in which Deng Xiaoping and Mao's other successors have continued the tradition have included (this list is mine, not Heilmann and Perry's): (1) "political education" in textbooks that omit much of modern Chinese history and distort much of what remains; (2) stoking nationalism by staging events like the Olympics and a World's Fair, using publicity that presents "China" and "the Party" as synonyms; (3) distracting attention from problems in people's lives by magnifying rivalries with foreign countries and domestic "splittists" like Tibetans or Uighurs; (4) use of hundreds of thousands of cyberpolice to delete "unhealthful" posts from the Internet and to "guide opinion" by inserting pro-regime posts; (5) pouring a fortune (more than is spent on health, education, and social welfare programs combined) into "stability maintenance," which includes, in addition to ordinary police work, monitoring people to stop "trouble" before it starts. Troublemakers are not only harassed; they are also cajoled, "invited to tea," and advised "for your own good" to concentrate on moneymaking instead of wandering into such dangerous topics as fairness, justice, or clean air.
The methods work. It is possible, whatever one thinks of the regime's goals, to admire its savvy. Western commentators sometimes laud the obvious efficiency. Things do get done. The economy booms.
A great virtue of Liao Yiwu's new book, For a Song and a Hundred Songs, is that it suggests what we have to look at before crediting the regime with efficiency. It shows that not only cleverness but a beastly ruthlessness undergirds the resilience. Liao, who is well known for his essays on life from the bottom up…

Skip to comments.Birther Lawyer Complains Federal Judge Is 'Stonewalling' Crazy Birther Suits [Evidence Tampering]
Posted on 12/22/2012 4:49:06 PM PST by SvenMagnussen
Montgomery Blair Sibley, the disbarred lawyer who once represented the so-called "D.C. Madam" and today spends his time attempting to disprove President Obama's birth certificate, is upset that a federal judge is not acknowledging his hobby.
In a news release, Sibley says that Judge John D. Bates of U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia "continues to ignore court rules" by not ruling on his motions to hold Obama, Harvard Law School, the Social Security Administration, the Selective Service System and the State Department in contempt.
He also claims that he now has "photographic evidence" that someone tampered with the State of Hawaii's birth records issued between July 28 and August 12, 1961. (Obama was born August 5 at Kapiolani Maternity and Gynecological Hospital in Honolulu, btw.) Sibley issued the claim in another court filing yesterday in which he requested Bates order the immediate release of Privacy Act-protected records:
(Excerpt) Read more at dcist.com ...
They're all chicken to look any closer.
Press Release #9 http://montgomeryblairsibley.com/library/Press9.pdf
Sibley Presents Evidence to Court of Criminal Tampering of Records Related to Obama's Birth and Judge Bates Refuses to Rule on Motions to Hold Obama in Contempt
WASHINGTON D.C. - The multifaceted litigation that Montgomery Blair Sibley has initiated in an attempt to get to the truth regarding the birth records of Barack Hussein Obama II has both produced fruit and met judicial stonewalling.
Yesterday, Sibley filed an Emergency Second Motion for Order to Release Privacy Act-Protected Records. That motion presented photographic evidence to Judge Bates that someone
has tampered with the evidence related to Obamas putative birth in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. Sibley had subpoena from the National Archives the Arrival Records for August 1 through August 10, 1961, of all passengers arriving in Honolulu, Hawaii to see if records existed that Obama and his mother arrived in Hawaii during that time frame. What NARA produced were two microfilm spools of the arrival records for July 28 through August 1, 1961 and August 8 through August 12, 1961.
As detailed in the Emergency Motion, the original date on the box of August 7 has been altered by white-out and a new date of August 1 had been written on the box. Proof of that alteration comes from a photograph of the same box taken nine months earlier which reveals the date was originally August 7. Thus, indisputably the box has been tampered with a criminal offense to hide the fact that the microfilm for the August 2 through August 7, 1961 arrivals is now missing.
Pursuant to a subpoena duces tecum, NARA made available to Sibley the Arrival Records
for August 1 through August 10, 1961, of all passengers arriving in Honolulu, Hawaii. Sibley sought
these records given the date of Obamas birth on his publicly-released Certificate of Live Birth of
August 4, 1961 in Hawaii to see if he and/or his Mother arrived during that time-frame. If they did,
it would prove that Mr. Obama was not born in the United States and as such is not a U.S. Citizen.
The significance of this arrival form evidenced can be seen from the arrival record of a
three year old in Honolulu on August 8, 1961, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
That arrival record indicates the citizenship of the child.
What NARA produced on December 13, 2012, were two microfilm spools of the arrival
records for July 28 through August 1, 1961 and August 8 through August 12, 1961. Attached hereto
as Exhibit B, is a photograph of the boxes those two microfilm spools are stored in which show
the dates the spools cover. Even more significant, the date of August 1 has been altered. It
appears that white-out was applied and a new date was written over the original date of August
7, 1961. Proof of that alteration comes from a photograph of the same box taken six months before
on or about March 22, 2012 which reveals the date was originally August 7, 1961. Thus,
indisputably the box has been tampered with a criminal offense.
Comparing Exhibit "B" with Exhibit "C" clearly shows tampering.
Evidence has been altered.
Isn't it funny that within hours of any major news story the media publishes every tiny detail of the the lives of the people involved. From Tiger Woods to David Patreus' girlfriend to the Conn. school killer, we know it all - friends, employers, mothers, SAT scores, whatever. But when it comes to Obama the media is all but silent. The only conclusion is that there is some really bad stuff there that would shock even the most suspicious among us and they damn well know it.
Eric Nordstrom in a Congressional hearing Oct 10, 2012 ."The Taliban is on the inside of the building"
Is it just me, or is the headline tinged with a hint of bias against birthers?
Travesty is that we have a lot of people in the so-called "conservative" media who are Obama Supporters and have the same hatred for "Birthers" as the Liberal Media does. Many were the same people who went after Bill Clinton for fooling around with Monica Lewinsky...I would say an Ineligible President is much more pressing Constitutional issue.
No amount of evidence presented against Obama shall lure either the highest elites or the lowest of the "low-information voters". One can produce the evidence until he is blue in the face, and it will not be consideered under any circumstance.
More important such protection involves very powerful people to cower judges from allowing suits to move forward. Question birthers need to ask is who are these powerful people and what are their motivations? IMHO this matter should be pursued even after Obama leaves office. The truth will eventually come out.
I was told about BHO2's CIA connections during the summer election campaign of 2008. It is old news.
What is more important is his grandparents careers with the U.S. government. THAT I will not discuss, as it is still classified.
The following is from 2010:
Verified CIA Front, Business International Corp, Paid for Obamas Columbia College Tuition
Now all we need is a dozen sacks of mail addressed to "The One."

Laura Levites
Laura Levites is a professional stand-up comedian from New York City. She has toured with Lisa Lampanelli, was featured in Comedy Central's Meet the Creeps and goes up, nightly, in Los Angeles.
She is not for sensitive types. Her brutal honesty will weed most people off like medical schools do when they test on the hardest material to see what students actually want to be a doctor instead of just fancying the idea of it. The deal with Levites is that the idea of her is incredible and story-like. Tough, sweet, whatever. But the reality of her separates the boys from the men.
Laura Levites is the kind of performer who invites you into her world and makes you feel as if she is not some stranger, but a close friend telling you about herself.
"She's a prime example of the growing influence of women in comedy, as she takes some of the worst experiences anyone can possibly have and finds the humor in them and fearlessly tells them as stories with meaningful subtext." -- Vickie Toro, Comediva
"Laura Levites hits the stage like a neurotic hurricane of loss, laughs and loneliness."--LA Theatre Review
"Laura Levites is a breath of fresh air in a city that has none."--Carlos Herrera host of The Mostly Normal Show
