Through God, All Things Are Possible
by miracles on Jan.03, 2008, under Healing Miracles Stories, Near Death Miracle Stories, Personal Transformation Miracle Stories, Sports Miracle Stories, VIDEOS
A month after I graduated high school in 2004, I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a near fatal car accident with a dump truck. The impact of the crash violently ripped my heart across my chest, shattering my ribs/clavicle/pelvis, collapsing my lungs, damage to every single organ and failure of my kidneys and liver, removal of spleen and gallbladder, losing 60% of my blood, severe nerve damage to my left shoulder, and in a coma where I was on life support for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital Center in Cheverly, MD.
I don't have a memory of the accident, or the few days before the day of the accident. The first thing that I remember after the collision, which is still so vivid in my mind even today, is being in this very large white tube.
In this tube was a boy sitting to my left, and many other boys and girls on my right side (I use the term "boys and girls" because they appeared to be my age); I didn't know why I was there or how I even got there in the first place. The more I sat there, the more I was able to visualize my surroundings. The boy to my left had a cell phone, and he asked me if I needed him to call anyone for me. I told him "yes, can you call my parents and tell them that I love them."
The next thing that I remember is waking up in a hospital bed, chemically paralyzed and hooked up to all these machines. Through all the buzzes and beeps going off from the medical equipment that was saving my life at that instant, I could hear my mom and dad telling me in between dramatic pauses of crying hysterically that I was going to be okay.
Only moments before I believe I was waiting in line to meet my final judgment, but it must have not been my time. Moments later, I had come back to life. This was just the beginning of my suffering.
I died eight times while I was in the intensive care unit and even when I woke up from my coma, I couldn't talk or communicate. The day that they knew that I would live, was the day that I either left my room in a wheelchair or a body bag. As far as the future, it didn't exist. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries and because of the shattered pelvis. The thought of swimming was just that, only a thought. Just like my body, my dreams were shattered. But, I didn't give up because I knew that God had a plan for me.
After spending two months in a coma, 14 operations, 36 blood transfusions, 13 plasma treatments, I lost a total of 100 pounds and had to go to a rehabilitation center in Baltimore. I had to learn how to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live independently again. After that agonizing experience, I had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, MD.
After spending a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove the doctors wrong and not only walk, but run.
After I accomplished that, I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. Before the accident I had three goals: to go to college, swim on the team, and compete in an ironman triathlon one day.
After a few months of swimming a few laps here and there with my training partner and good buddy, Sam Fleming, I decided that I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream, and six months after that I began my freshman year at St. Mary's College of Maryland and also was one of the swimmers to watch on the team.
It's very easy to go through and list these facts and make it look like everything just seemed to easily fall in it's own perfect little place, but the truth of the matter is that it didn't. It wasn't easy, not then, and not now. The pain and the agony was real and it existed all the way through, in the good times and the very bad.
It was not an easy situation to be in where you're laying in a bed, staring at the ceiling, knowing that your life is over while your looking at a priest give you the last rights.
I thought to myself over and over, why this situation had to happen to me. I was always a good kid, received good grades in school, and went to church. Why would something as horrific as this happen to me? Why would God allow this? I went on and on for days asking why? And, then it hit me. All that thinking and pondering on the what-if scenario's and the questionable doubt only stirred up another question – why was I saved? I didn't have anymore questions after that. I know what my purpose in life finally is.
With the 50 year life expectancy I was given from the doctors, I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and motivate and hopefully inspire other people, in their lives and in the faith. I have been labeled on several occasions that I am "Lazarus-like" because God brought me back to life.
To inspire even more, I just successfully completed the Steelhead 70.3 half-ironman race in Michigan a few months ago, and was also given the inspirational athlete media slot to compete in the 2007 Ford Ironman World Championship where my story and race footage was broadcast in the Ironman show premiere as the main feature on NBC on Dec. 1. See video below:
My story is about the recovery and the comeback, but I want to make it much more than that, I want to make a positive impact on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and motivate and hopefully inspire other people through my endeavors to never give up on their dreams, and to never stop believing in their faith in God no matter how bad a situation is because everything happens for a reason.
I remember when I was still in my hospital bed in ICU, I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms in the unit to see the other patients and talk to them and their families; it didn't matter if the other patients were unconscious or comatose because I just wanted to talk to them, especially since there was always that possibility that they could hear me.
I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay, somehow things would work out for the best. I prayed with them, I said prayers for them, I tried to give them hope. I believe that my purpose in life is to bring hope to those who need it most and through my past accomplishments, I have been able to have the positive mindset to keep pushing through over all these obstacles and find my way in life.
Besides the ironman and triathlons, I'm doing a lot of work now with motivational speaking, the American Red Cross as being a spokes model, as well as the Brain Injury Association of America, and possibly the American Heart and Lung Association because I feel that this is how I can use my story as a means of helping others.
I competed in Kona, Hawaii in the 2007 Ford Ironman World Championship two months ago as the inspirational athlete media slot with only six weeks of training (in the entire sport of triathlon) and I was one of the main features on the 2007 Ironman show that premiered Dec. 1st. With Mark Allen as my coach, I plan on returning to Kona in the next few years on my own abilities to continue my life long quest of one day breaking the swim course record and hopefully winning the Ford Ironman World Championship. These are big goals but the saying goes, "Through God, all things are possible" and that statement is the story of my life.

Is it possible to have a dynamic drop down menu?Asked by rayeager on January 20, 2016 at 09:56 PM
I want to make it so that each option on the drop down would link to a different form url and I want to know if this is possible. I've tried using the Conditions option but it doesn't exactly work for what I'm aiming to do

Perhaps you can share us an example?
If you want to redirect a user on a different link or different form based on a selection on a drop down field, then that is possible using conditional logic. Here's a guide to learn more about conditions: http://www.jotform.com/help/57-Smart-Forms-Using-Conditional-Logic

Auto enthusiasts know that a quality brand is built into each Dodge, and know that only the highest quality replacement Nitro parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Dodge vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. Your Dodge dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality replacement parts for your Nitro. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your Nitro unless you understood you would be getting power and American engineering both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV.
We may take this for granted, but it wasn't until the 1950s that vehicles were equipped with reliable air conditioning. The air conditioning uses a refrigerant called R134a to fuel a thermal reaction that emits cold air, and the A/C condenser on your Dodge Nitro changes the pressurized refrigerant from an extremely hot temperature to a more neutral temperature before it gets expanded into a gas. You can locate your Dodge Nitro A/C condenser sitting right in front of your radiator, as that is the easiest place to soak up air while your car is driving. If you notice the A/C condenser is leaking, then you will likely notice your air conditioning blowing lukewarm air as a result of the lack of refrigerant.
Buying new Dodge parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement Nitro parts on the internet. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a broken A/C Condenser spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. All the Dodge Nitro A/C Condenser parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007. Choose your year below to refine your search.

1. If we choose to over-garrison a planet initially, as soon as the unit set up is complete, can we move the over-garrisoned element into waiting JS overhead?
We will not be approving alliance requests between the homeworld clans and current invasion clans, and we will also be removing critical planets on the Exodus Road to prevent coming down the "long way". The homeworld clans will need to fight it out, that's the only way.
can we move the over-garrisoned element into waiting JS overhead? Seems like that'd be the way to get a raid force going, without having to gut the actual intended garrison at this point, but wanted to be sure.

There is a silent killer that's creeping into American lives, and it's not what most think it might be.
It's neither external threats like terrorism or wide-spread epidemic like Ebola.
In fact, it's self-induced and internal. The killer is the diabetes.
Every year, diabetes kills more people than AIDS and breast cancer combined and put more than 29 million people at risk for stroke, heart disease, coma, kidney disease, blindness and amputation.
This once considered older people's disease is not so far distance away even for young people.
As more American children and adolescents become overweight or obese and inactive, type 2 diabetes is becoming common amongst youth and spreading far and wide reaching young people aged 10 or older. And the odds are, you are just a few short years of poor weight management away from being diagnosed of diabetes.... if you don't have it already.
The first thing to do is to take diabetes risk test to see if you are at risk of diabetes and run a self-check to find out whether you have any of these 7 diabetes symptoms.
If you do, get a proper diagnosis and consider diabetes treatment.
Type 1 and 2 Diabetes Comparison
Diabetes, although often misunderstood as one disease, it's actually a group of disease with several different types.
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are two main types, with type 2 being the most common and accounting 95% of diabetes.
Type 1 also known as juvenile diabetes is an underlying autoimmune disease and accounts for about 5% of the diabetes population. Because people with type 1 diabetes do not produce enough insulin, in addition to healthy eating, they are often prescribed insulin injections to manage their insulin level.
Type 2 Diabetes Treatment
Unlike type 1 diabetes where your pancreas just doesn't produce enough insulin, you can develop type 2 diabetes when your body becomes insulin resistant or when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin.
The exact cause of this is unknown, but genetics, environmental factors such as weight and inactivity seem to be contributing factors.
With type 2 diabetes tightly linked to diet and lifestyle, it's no surprise the key to both prevention and treatment is healthy eating and active life.
According to Mayo Clinic, losing approximately 7 % of your initial body weight, combined with regular exercise can lower your risk of developing diabetes by as much as 60%.
In fact, if you happen to have adult-onset diabetes (type 2), managing through lifestyle changes such as incorporating type 2 diabetes diet is a critical part of your life. Whether you are at risk, already have pre-diabetes or recently received type 2 diabetes diagnosis, learning healthy eating methods in type 2 diabetes treatment will only help you prevent and manage the chronic disease.
As part of type 2 diabetes treatment, Mayo Clinic recommends 2 dieting techniques amazingly effective for people with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes Diet - 2 ways
- Plate Methods (Portion control)
- Carb Counting
Method 1. Plate Method (Control serving sizes)
If you are as lazy as me, you probably hate any diet that involves counting including calorie counting, carb counting and fat gram tallying.
Plate method removes all the hassles of counting and running calculations in your head. Instead, it uses a serving plate as a way to measure your foods and tell what to eat for how much.
It's easy, simple and hassle - free, but super effective. Once you get used to the idea of this plate method, it literally becomes your second nature.
I don't have diabetes, but this is the method I personally use to practice healthy eating. I use it to measure my food and ensure I eat a balanced meal every time.
One word of caution is, with American indulgent culture where everything can be super-sized and refilled for almost free, it's too easy to have a misconception of what a proper serving size looks like. To accurately understand proper plate size, it's recommended that you use measuring cups and directions of food labels in the beginning to serve your plate.
There are 3 easy steps to the Plate Method
Step 1: Fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables.
These include all vegetables except potatoes, beans, lentils, corn, peas or winter squash.
Superfoods such as leafy greens and kale are excellent choices and usually low in starch content.
Step 2: Fill one quarter of your plate with lean meat or other protein sources such as fish.
Lean meat choices include beef, pork, skinless chicken, fish, and eggs. Meat can also be substituted with foods like cheese, peanut butter, nuts, seeds and tofu.
Baking, grilling and boiling are three healthiest cooking methods that require no excess oil usage.
When cooking your meat, avoid frying or adding fats as limiting total (especially bad) fat consumption is necessary to lower blood sugar and blood cholesterol. For high-temperature cooking, coconut oil is recommended.
Olive oil is also great for low-temperature cooking and as a salad dressing.
Step 3: Use the remainder of plate for carbohydrate
Your carbohydrate choice can be either fruits, or milk and yogurt.
Method 2. Carb Counting
Mayo Clinic states carbohydrates have the greatest impact on your blood glucose.
Since the balance between your carbohydrate intake and insulin determines your blood glucose level, counting carb is a proven way to avoid the blood sugar level from going too high or too low.
As name implies, carb counting counts how much carb you consume at each meal or snack to better manage your blood glucose level.
Carb counting is a bit more complex than the plate method, but if you take diabetes medication or insulin, it may be a necessary meal planning tool.
Carb counting has several steps, and here is how to get started.
Step 1: Speak with your dietitian to determine how many carb you should aim for at meals.
Step 2: Look up carb content of each food you eat. There are several ways to do this.
- Use online resource or mobile apps that list carb contents
- Use Nutrition Facts Label on most packaged foods. Write down the serving size and the total carbohydrate .
Step 3: Guess how much you'll eat and do the math.
Will you eat 1 cup or 2 cups? If your chicken soup's serving size is 1 cup and there is 12 grams of total carbohydrate in 1 cup of soup, having 2 cups will result in 24 grams of carbs.
There are additional tips on how to make carb counting diet work.
1. Be Consistent
Don't skip a meal or over-indulge on one meal. Inconsistent eating pattern can cause your blood glucose levels to go too high or low.
2. Don't Go Overboard On Non-Carb Foods
Just because you are not counting proteins and fats doesn't mean you can eat them how much ever you want. High calories and too much fat can make controlling your blood sugar difficult and put you at risk for weight gain and other health problems such as heart disease and stroke.
Also remember, fats can be either good fat or bad fat. Fat from avocado, coconut and many seeds like chia seeds are considered good fats, while animal fat is high in saturated fat.
3. Carb-Counting Is Not The Same as Low-Carb Diet
Although you do need to control your carbohydrates, carb-counting is not the same thing as low-carb diet such as Atkins diet or Paleo diet.
To balance your blood glucose level, you need to take in the right amount of carbs, not just low or absolute minimum levels. For example, Atkins diet recommends eating 20 grams of carbohydrate a day. Depending on your carb needs, that may be too low for you.
Again, your goal is to keep your carb intake in your goal range.
Eliminating nor putting extreme limit on your carbohydrate intake may not be all that healthy for you and appropriate for your diabetes treatment.
Speak with you physician and dietitian to find out what diet may work best for you.
There you have it! I hope you now understand what each type of diabetes is and few ideas on its treatment methods. Again, whether you have it or not, these techniques can be applied as part of your healthy eating approach to better your health. At best, it can prevent the chronic disease and control it should you have it already.
Do you have diabetes? If so, what type? And what treatment do you follow to manage your health?
We'd love to hear your experience. Leave your diabetes experience in the comment section below!

A learn English video featuring one of the world's supermodels... Guisele Bunchen.
You probably have heard of Guisele Bunchen, right? She's one of the most famous models in the world and you probably remember that she used to model for Victoria Secret. She's also acted in films and is married to Tom Brady, one of the United States' most famous football players (that's football Americano folks, not soccer!)
Well, you probably also know that she's Brazilian. So English is not her mother tongue. In fact, it's her third language. Her mother tongue is Portugues of course, but she also speaks Spanish.
So how did she learn English? Watch this video to find out.
She arrived in the United States, in New York, when she was 16 years old and as a model she had to go on casting calls. That means that she had to go to various appointments and present herself to see if the client would be interested in hiring her. New York is a big city and although the streets are numbered, if you are not going in the correct direction you will be far, far way from your desired destination. In this learn English video, Guisele explains she had a few problems trying to figure out these directions.
Did she ask for help? Did she pull out her dictionary? Did she send out a Tweet or check the directions on Google Maps? Well, this was a long time before Twitter and Google Maps and smart phones, so watch this learn English video to find out what she did.
You'll also find out her special secret for learning a new language. I highly recommend her strategy as it has helped me improve my French and Turkish.
Okay, enough background! Are you ready? Click play to listen!
Well, what did you think?
She speaks English very well now so she must have listened to a lot of Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey albums! Serious though, music is a great way to build your English skills.
Another great way is to find a good friend or boyfriend/girlfriend who doesn't know your language so you have to speak English. In fact, I think it's the very best way to learn English of all. That's because there's a lot of motivation in that scenario.
Of course, you don't have to leave your boyfriend or girlfriend or divorce your spouse to learn English! Guisele started out by listening to pop and R&B music, so that might be a great place for you to start too! ;)
Enjoy your English studies!!

Gold prices rose this week, fueled in part by a weaker than expected retail sales report released on Friday.
"Gold prices jumped into positive territory following weaker than expected retail sales data for July. Friday, Commerce Department said that advance retail sales were flat last month, compared to May's rise of 0.6% in June. Consensus forecasts were calling for a 0.4% rise. At the same time core retail sales fell 0.3% following's June's revised rise of 0.8%. Economists were expecting to see a rose of 0.2%." ("Gold Jumps Following Weaker Than Expected Retail Sales Data," Kitco News, 8/12/16.)
Gold ended the week down $0.30, closing at $1,336.70. Silver prices closed at $19.74, down $0.02.
Gold to $1500 By End of 2016- Money Morning
The editors of Money Morning believe three factors will send gold to $1500 by the end of this year.
"With the metal up 27% this year, our new gold price prediction shows another double-digit return by the end of 2016. In fact, our Money Morning experts think gold will continue to be one of the best-performing assets of the year…
"But one of the biggest reasons for the gold price rally has been negative bond yields. Despite growing concerns about another rate hike in the United States, global yields keep falling into negative territory. According to TD Bank, negative yields will continue to make precious metals attractive.
"The fallout from the Brexit vote has also fueled the gold price. The UK's decision to leave the EU will hit global trade and financial sectors the hardest. As these repercussions unfold, investors will keep flocking to gold as a hedge against market volatility.
"But there are three more factors that will keep pushing gold prices higher in 2016. According to Money Morning Resource Specialist Peter Krauth, these factors are why he revised his 2016 gold price prediction. Here's why prices will see a double-digit return by the end of the year…
"While near-term prices are tough to predict, Krauth sees gold prices hitting $1,500 by the end of the year. That's up 11.4% from today's price of $1,346.40. The first reason why the gold price will hit that mark is rising coin sales… The second reason is inflows of cash into gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs)… The third bullish factor for our gold price prediction is the Fed's hesitance to raise interest rates...
"Krauth says the price of gold may see some short-term drawbacks… Still, Krauth notes these contrary indicators lessen gradually over time. In other words, gold prices are poised for long-term gains in 2016 and beyond." ("This New Gold Price Prediction Shows Double-Digit Gains by December," Money Morning, 8/8/16.)
Record Gold Investment for First Half of 2016 – WGC
The World Gold Council reported that demand for investment gold reached a new record for the first half of 2016 (also known as "H1"), surpassing the prior record during the Great Recession. Gold also saw its greatest H1 price gain since 1980.
"Record H1 for gold investment - Investment demand of 1,063.9t (tons) accounted for almost half of overall gold demand during the first six months of 2016. Western investors generated the bulk of this investment.
"Investment has witnessed exceptional growth this year: record H1 demand of 1,063.9t is 16% higher than the previous H1 high from 2009, when the market was in the midst of the global financial crisis. Consequently, for the first time on record, investment has been the largest component of gold demand for two consecutive quarters… The speed of the upswing in investment was in no small part due to the scale of pent-up demand that had built in Western markets…
"2016 has unleashed a variety of events creating economic and political uncertainty, compounded by NIRP and further highlighting gold's role as a high-quality, liquid asset.
The US election, the UK referendum on EU membership and possible implications of the 'Brexit' outcome, the increasingly parlous state of Italy's banking sector; these have proved a potent combination as far as gold investors are concerned. Add to that continued geopolitical unrest in the Middle East and the investment case for gold was cemented…
"Gold up 25%: strongest H1price gain since 1980 - Thanks to unbridled investment inflows, the gold price has surged since the end of 2015. But so has volatility, which has had mixed results for consumer demand. After starting the year with a stellar 17% Q1 gain, the gold price climbed further in the second quarter to set the seal on the strongest H1 performance for more than 35 years. In US$ terms, gold was one of the best performing investments in a basket of commodities that we monitor, behind only Brent crude (which burst higher on improving prospects for its supply dynamics) and silver.
And given that the US dollar has strengthened against a number of currencies this year, gold's H1 performance when denominated in other currencies has been better still…." ("Gold Demand Trends 2d Quarter 2016," WGC, 8/11/16.)
Time To Hedge Portfolios with Gold – Motley Fool
A Motley Fool contributor offered three reasons why investors should be hedging their portfolios with gold.
"In recent months, precious metals including gold have surged ahead as growing global economic and geopolitical uncertainty trigger a flight to safety among investors. The lustrous yellow metal is up by 23% over the last year, trading at its highest point since mid-March 2014. Despite claims among some analysts that gold is poised to pull back, there are signs that indicate it has further to run…
"Firstly, the growing consensus among analysts is that gold has entered a new bull market after being trapped in a bear market over the last years. In mid-May of this year JP Morgan was advising its clients to position themselves for a new and very long bull market in gold. The reasoning behind this was that in an economic environment where negative interest rates dominate and bond yields are at historical lows, gold is an attractive hedge and risk-off investment. This sentiment appears to stretch across the major banks; Bank of America subsidiary Merril Lynch expressed a similar view…
"Secondly, growing economic and geopolitical insecurity makes gold an invaluable hedge against uncertainty and market volatility. Gold is perceived to be a store of value and a safe-haven asset in times of turmoil. With the global economy filled with fissures and entering an era of uncertainty both economically and politically, investors are growing increasingly wary and are hedging their bets against another financial crisis…
"Each of these factors indicate that the world is just one step away from another economic crisis that could send stocks tumbling. As gold is a safe-haven asset that is negatively correlated to stocks, it is the perfect hedge against the next economic crisis.
"Finally, gold is an important backstop for the value of fiat currencies, meaning that central bank buying will continue. You see, a large number of central banks across the globe have implemented quantitative easing (QE), which is essentially a form of money printing, the value of their fiat currencies is being eroded. As a result, many, such as the European Central Bank, or ECB, have been buying gold in order to backstop the value of their currency…
"Despite being critical of gold as an investment, it is increasingly clear that now is the time for investors to hedge against growing economic uncertainty by adding gold to their portfolios…." ("3 Reasons to Invest in Gold," Motley Fool, 8/10/16.)
Dangerous Central Bank Policies Make Case for Gold – Grant
Jim Grant, founder of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, gave the closing keynote address at a conference on risk management for investment portfolios, warning that reckless central bank policies will lead to a banking crisis.
"Negative interest rates are unsustainable and once investors decide to stop paying for the privilege of holding government debt, a banking crisis could result, says James Grant… Central banks are treading in uncharted waters. Sidney Homer and Richard Sylla, the authors of A History of Interest Rates, found no instance of negative rates in 5,000 years. Now there are $11.7 trillion invested in negative-yield sovereign debt, including $7.9 trillion in Japanese government bonds and over $1 trillion in both French and German sovereign debt. Grant posed a tongue-in-cheek question: 'If these are the first sub-zero interest rates in 5,000 years, is this not the worst economy since 3,000 BC?' …
"To maintain increasingly lower interest rates would require a 'war on cash,' Grant said. He envisions a means by which the Fed would discourage and stigmatize using cash, and ultimately implement an unfavorable exchange rate on physical currency…
"Grant acknowledged that gold is 'the asset class of choice for calamity hounds,' but suggested that investors consider it. The case for gold, he says, has more to do with the state of money and credit than with Brexit. Grant characterizes the value of gold as the reciprocal of the world's trust in central banks. 'Radical monetary policy begets more radical policy,' he said. 'It seems to me, at some point, markets or voters will put a stop to this.'
"If and when that time comes, investors will be looking for physical stores of wealth. 'The case for gold is not as a hedge against monetary disorder, because we have monetary disorder, but rather an investment in monetary disorder,' Grant said…." ("JIM GRANT: 'Central bank acrobatics' could result in a banking crisis," Business Insider, 8/8/16.)

Money has corrupted our political system. It's an argument we have all heard, and fighting for transparency and compliance with campaign laws is something that I have dedicated my life to for decades.
In 1978, I led the charge to pass the "Time is Now, Clean Up Politics" measure, which created the Orange County Campaign Reform Ordinance, followed by the county gift-ban ordinance; the county lobbyist registration and reporting ordinance and the county code of ethics. TINCUP was revolutionary in its time, but, as local politics has become more professionalized, Orange County needed to modernize and strengthen ethics and campaign reforms.
In April, Orange County Board of Supervisors Chairman Todd Spitzer hosted an informative roundtable discussion on the future of ethics in Orange County. After voters approved Measure E in 2014, which Supervisors Shawn Nelson and Spitzer put on the ballot, Spitzer committed to launching a countywide discussion on ethics.
At the forum, an overview regarding the current structure of ethics oversight was addressed as well as other models of ethics oversight. The public participated in identifying issues of concern related to enforcement and possible solutions for improving the ethical culture of elected officials in Orange County. I saw this forum as an opportunity to present my ballot measure that would create an ethics commission.
The need for an ethics commission is a debate that has occurred among the Board of Supervisors, discussed with industry experts over a series of 10 meetings of the Orange County Ethics Committee and with voters who approved Measure E. It's clear that an ethics commission in Orange County is needed and I am pleased that the mechanics of how a commission would be comprised and what authority it would have has been worked out through a consensus building process. I want to thank Supervisors Spitzer and Nelson for their courage to embrace the issue of ethics reform when others looked away.
The Board of Supervisors has directed the creation of a ballot measure that would create an ethics commission in Orange County. County Counsel will return to the board on Oct. 20 with final measure language, and a proposed directive to place it on the ballot for the June 2016 election.
The commission would have the authority to subpoena bank statements of campaign committees, create an independent campaign contribution tracking system, develop an annual ethics training program for county officials and staff, and investigate and enforce TINCUP.
My goal was to create an ordinance that we could all live with and we have done that. Creating an Orange County Campaign Finance and Ethics Commission is a great step in the right direction toward transparency and ethics reform in Orange County.
Shirley Grindle is a longtime watchdog in Orange County politics.

dorsal fin, operculum(gill cover), nares(nostrils). "

We describe a technique for accurately measuring the ratio between the imaginary and real parts of the third-order nonlinearity in optical waveguides. Unlike most other methods, it does not depend on precise knowledge of the coupling efficiencies, optical propagation loss, or optical pulse shape. We apply the method to characterize a silicon waveguide, a GaAs waveguide, and AlGaAs waveguides with different alloy concentrations.

The Southern Plains is a region in Vovatra.
The plains are bordered on the southwest by the Spice Forest, on the north by the Pink Jungle, and on the southeast by the Nevasoy Forest.
The Southern Plains have generally mild summers and winters. They receive some rain during the summer monsoons, but not as much as the Nevasoy Forest or the Pink Jungle; this is what causes the plains to lack forest cover despite being surrounded by it. It is thought that a few thousand years ago the area was forested, but a lessening of the monsoons allowed it to become a grassy area while leaving very fertile soil.
Human Geography and Economics
The plains have no major towns, but there are many small farming villages. The economy is agriculture-based due to the very fertile soil. For example, the plains are the world's largest producer of wines.
The two main parties in the plains are the Motherland Movement and the Social Alliance, although other parties often have support in the region.

Leading utilities and energy retailers are under increasing pressure to deal with supply limitations, environmental mandates, intermittent renewables, and changing demand with the growing popularity of plug-in electric vehicles, distributed generation, and consumers' desire to use energy more efficiently They are also faced with the daunting technical complexities to unify the disparate information from the many systems resulting from the evolving landscape of systems, energy devices, and applications.
British Gas is pleased to extend our partnership with Trilliant. British Gas and Trilliant have worked closely to build the right solution… We are committed to bringing this standards-based solution to the broader UK market supporting a smooth transition from the current rollout to the UK-wide mandated rollout.
Stuart Rolland,
Chief Operating Officer, British Gas
Trilliant helps savvy utilities and energy retailers achieve their smart grid visions through the Trilliant Smart Grid Platform, the only purpose-built communications platform that integrates these disparate system of systems into a unified whole. Only with using a smart grid platform purpose-built for the energy industry can utilities and energy retailers unify the information from their disparate system of systems to achieve their smart grid visions and enjoy the benefits.
Trilliant understands that a particular utility's smart grid business needs may be different from those of other leading utilities and energy retailers. For example, some utilities may seek to satisfy regulatory mandates while also increasing reliability and improving operational efficiencies. Others may seek to empower customers to use energy better and offer differentiated services. Still others may seek to integrate more renewables, distributed energy resources (such as electric vehicles, storage and solar panels) or be able to reduce non-technical losses. Whatever a utility's smart grid business needs are, the Trilliant Communications Platform offers utilities and energy retailers the widest range of options and flexibility to solve their unique smart grid business needs, tailored to the business' particular goals, regulatory model, and service territory, today and tomorrow.
Trilliant helps utilities and energy retailers successfully deploy a broad set of smart grid initiatives – from advanced metering to distribution automation to consumer applications such as demand response and distributed energy resources. The breadth and depth of the Trilliant Platform deliver the flexible and proven smart grid solutions needed for utilities and energy retailers to deploy mission-critical applications to achieve their business goals.
Trilliant has worked with leading utilities and energy retailers around the world who collectively serve more than 85 million homes and businesses, including Hydro One Networks, Centrica's British Gas, and Iberdrola USA's Central Maine Power. Trilliant has helped implement some of the most advanced Smart Grid networks, including the largest North American deployment that we're helping Hydro One build in Ontario. Today, they have over one million Smart Meters deployed across 350,000 square miles to enable demand-side management applications like time-of-use pricing and critical peak pricing to provide customers with energy efficiency programs. Trilliant successfully helped Hydro One moved 1.05 million customers to time-of-use (TOU) billing and won numerous prestigious awards such as the Utilimetrics Excellence in Project Management award and Greentech Media Top 10 Smart Grid award.
One significant benefit of working with leading electric utilities like Hydro One is getting insight into their long-term goals. Smart Grid solutions' architects envision an "Energy Internet" that not only connects home devices like thermostats, appliances, solar panels, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) but also connects all other devices on the grid, including distributed power generation, distribution substations, and a variety of other grid assets. This Energy Internet requires considerably higher capacity, lower latency, and broader coverage than the standard advance metering infrastructure (AMI) networks being deployed today.
Trilliant actively partners with other industry-leading companies to integrate best-in-class technologies and services. Our partners include large systems integrators such as Accenture, CapGemini, and IBM, distribution automation vendors such as ABB, Cooper, and Telvent, meter manufacturers such as GE, Itron, Landis+Gyr, and Elster, and a variety of in-home device manufacturers.
Trilliant and is backed by prominent investors such as ABB, GE, Investor Growth Capital, MissionPoint Capital Partners, UMC Capital, VantagePoint Capital Partners and zouk ventures.

ANAHEIM, CA – Personnel from Anaheim Fire & Rescue will visit students at Edison Elementary School during their Fire Prevention Week Assembly tomorrow, Wednesday, October 12, 2016. In addition to a Fire Company and fire prevention personnel, students will have the opportunity to interact with Smokey the Bear and Sparky the Dalmation.
Edison Elementary School is the home school for many of the students impacted by last year's three-alarm fire that destroyed two apartment complexes in the 1500 block of East Benmore Ln. in Anaheim. More than 40 people were displaced by the fire, many of them children, and damage was estimated at more than $500,000.
Anaheim Fire & Rescue will send all 130 fourth-grade students home with a free smoke detector to celebrate Fire Prevention Week and to encourage families to install working smoke detectors. Families can also call to schedule a free home safety visit and have the detectors installed at no cost to them.

Bundesliga round-up

Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Werder Bremen claimed top spot following a 3-0 victory over Hannover.
Werder Bremen claimed top spot following a 3-0 victory over Hannover, and Bayer Leverkusen came from two goals down to defeat Alemannia Aachen.
Bremen did not look back from the moment Tim Borowski gave them a fifth minute lead.
Though it took the hosts another hour to double their advantage through Hugo Almeida, the win was wrapped up by Per Mertesacker 16 minutes from time.
Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen fought back at Alemannia Aachen to claim a 3-2 win.
Aachen led by two goals after Aurel Reghecampf's ninth minute penalty and Vedad Ibisevic's strike on the half-hour.
But Bernd Schneider gave Leverkusen a sniff just before half-time and the visitors came out all guns blazing in the second period.
Andrei Voronin claimed the leveller nine minutes after the interval and Schneider completed the impressive turnaround just three minutes later.

Section 179 offers radiology equipment tax savings for some small businesses
New radiology equipment and medical printing solutions have the potential to improve an imaging center's bottom line through increased patient throughput. But did you know that there is also a possible radiology equipment tax deduction through Section 179 for small businesses?
Under tax legislation passed by the federal government to help small businesses purchase capital equipment and spur economic growth, you might be able to write off (i.e. deduct) the entire amount of a purchase at one time (subject to certain limitations), rather than its depreciated value over time.
Under current tax law, this year's Section 179 deduction allows business owners to write off up to $500,000 on overall property. However this amount is limited if total purchases exceed $2,000,000 during the year.
Additional details can be found at https://www.irs.gov/publications/p946/ch02.html and http://www.section179.org.
To understand the potential radiology equipment tax deductions that might apply under Section 179, refer to the following table: Continue reading

i have pop ups such as adult content how do i block it
2 Replies
May 27, 2008 at 1:59 UTC
If it happens when you visit some "ugly" sites, stop messing around while in the office. If it comes without visiting such sites, try a program like Hijackthis and clean your registry.
May 27, 2008 at 8:05 UTC
Actually, pop ups can come from a number of different sources. While they are most prevalent from "ugly sites," they can also come from legitimate sites that have been hacked, hidden in freeware or Spam (especially with the advent of Spam 2.0), and can also be part of a blended threat in which they may have "piggybacked" on a trojan or been installed by a loader.
Of course, one of the more common sources of popups is from Virtumondo, which is really a pain to "cleanse" from a system, but it can be done with some diligence and hard work. A good scanner will be able to identify what you're infected with.
The first step is to remove it from your system. This can usually be done with a number of software solutions, even some of the freeware products (for non-corporate use, businesses need to buy a legit copy) out there like Ad-Aware
or SpyBot or Grisoft's AVG.
Another favorite tool of mine is Facetime's X-Cleaner. It's quick, painless and easily works (e.g., finds & cleans) with popups, viruses, trojans, malware, rootkits, etc.
In the end, you probably need to examine your gateway/firewall solution and insure that it is capable of scanning packets coming in and going out of your organization. If your IT budget is low or non-existent, there's an excellent open-source called Untangle, which is actually a Virtual Server "environment."
Finally, be sure to have multiple levels of security. This means to provide protection at the Gateway level, Server Level (including your mail server), workstation level and find a way to educate your users. Your best protection can be undone by an uninformed user.
I hope this helps!
