The Hamilton Company Quality System is ISO 9001-2000 certified.Can I use Hamilton syringes on humans?Hamilton syringes are not manufactured for human use. To discuss potential off label uses for Hamilton syringes please contact Technical Support.Do I need slots on my TLL syringe?The slots, on a TLL syringe with slots, are a carryover from instrument syringes dating back to the 1960's. Older instruments used to have pegs that fit into the slots to hold the syringe in place, but today very few instruments or applications require the TLL syringes with slots. There is no difference in performance between the syringes, with or without slots, and they can even be used interchangeably.

GREECE, N.Y. (AP Modified) – Authorities say they've charged a Rochester-area man with second-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend's 17 month-old daughter.

Police say Favata acted recklessly and caused her death, but they've not releases details on how she died.
Police say emergency crews were called the evening of April 21 to an apartment in Greece for a report of a child experiencing medical issues. The toddler was taken to a Strong Memorial Hospital, where she died Thursday morning.
According to WROC-TV in Rochester, Favata was babysitting Rileigh while her mother was working.
Favata is being held without bail in Monroe County Jail.

Paul Daley Doesn't Understand Dana White's Unrelenting Stance On UFC Ban
By Mark Wayne
British welterweight slugger Paul Daley was unceremoniously given the boot by UFC president Dana White following an ugly post-fight incident at UFC 113 in May of last year in which Semtex attempted to slug Josh Koscheck after the last bell of a three-round fight.
White has stated unequivocally on several occasions that there is simply no room for the rowdy Brit on the UFC roster anymore and that he will never be allowed back within the UFC's eight walls. Daley spoke with Washington-based radio station 106.7 The Fan ahead of his weekend Strikeforce fight with Tyron Woodley and admitted vexation at White's unrelenting stance on Daley's place in the UFC.
"I was at the fighters summit. Dana mentioned people he has problems with and named Josh Barnett. Basically he named everybody but me," said Daley. "I don't understand his big problem with me. It's definitely something personal because there's been opportunities for things to happen and they're not happening. I'm an exciting fighter. English people want to see me. I have a big fan base in the UK and a few fans in America."
Daley explained that a number of fans have broached the subject with him and wonder why he isn't allowed back in the promotion now, over a year after the incident went down that got him fired. The 28-year-old said that he sees White's vendetta against him as a personal one and isn't sure why he's been treated so harshly.
"A lot of people do want to see me back in the UFC," he said. "I'm happy with Strikeforce and I'm happy with the fights that I've got for now. I think that in the future after getting past Cyborg, I don't see much in the way of big marquee fights I can have outside of the UFC. I've said in numerous interviews that I want to be back in the UFC, so I'm not holding a grudge no more. I'm saying I want the UFC. This is from peer pressure from my fans saying, 'You deserve to be back in there. There's people who don't deserve to be back in there that get a lot of the lime light that have messed up.'
"I have reached out. He's looked past a lot, every other fighter he's had a personal beef with he's overlooked but for some reason he just don't like me. I don't know what it is. I'd like for him to explain it to me. I can't remember apart from the whole Koscheck incident, which I think with any other fighter would be overlooked and they'd be on a banner or something. I dunno, I think it's personal."
Speaking with SportsIllustrated.com recently, White spoke about Daley and, after giving him credit for his performance against Nick Diaz and admitting that he's a legitimate welterweight contender, he had this to say on Semtex's odds of returning to the UFC.
"Yeah, it's just a bad taste in my mouth, man. It doesn't happen in the UFC," White said of Daley's post-fight punch. "You don't go up and… Listen, you just had 15 minutes to punch this kid in the face. You're going to punch him in the face when the fight's over? Two different worlds, man. You had 15 minutes inside this sport to do it. After that bell, it's assault."
His final word on whether he ever considers giving Daley a second chance? "Yeah, it doesn't even cross my mind," he said. "That's one thing I just can't take."

2012 SXSW Recap: Real Rap Vacation
Tired as fuck, I walked out of the "Killer Mike R.A.P. Music Showcase" Wednesday. After getting outside, I wondered why DJ Detox was bullshitting and not outside. I walked back inside and he was making small talk with the GZA.
When I found the GZA and Detox, a small crowd had also found the GZA.

Greg Fischer's mayoral campaign just released the following statement:
"We need to build the bridges and to create the thousands of jobs that come with it – but a $3 toll is simply too much," Fischer said.
Fischer's campaign did not indicate what he believes is a reasonable toll amount. $2.00? $2.50?
How about NO TOLLS?

The brand started life 'as a few badges that were made and handed out to make Mel Elliott feel better after her boyfriend dumped her'. After graduating from the Royal College of Art, Mel started her design career and her little I love Mel badges became more of a brand than a badge.
Influenced by pop culture, celebrity and fame, her hand drawn colouring books and quirky stationary are her most well known projects. However, recently her work has taken a different angle, addressing the important issue of gender equality – something Mel strongly believes in promoting.
'The earlier we start teaching children about gender equality and feminist issues, the better. This T-shirt, with its fun, ultra-cool neon design will assist in making children see that raising such issues should not be shied away from. As parents, haven't we had enough of pink sparkles for girls and blue dinosaurs & tractors for boys? It is 2015… I certainly have!'
Aimed at 4-8 year olds, her beautifully illustrated Children's book Pearl Power, is written in rhyme and tells the story a 'feisty five year old' girl who strongly believes equality between boys and girls.
Her most recent venture is a screen-printed, unisex T-shirt for children, printed in neon, pink, yellow and black ink, and with the artwork 'FEMINIST' on the front – its aim to raise awareness from an early age.

Bittersweet night as Ryan earns England call-up
Stoke defender, Ryan Shawcross has earned a call-up to the England squad for the friendly against Egypt on Wednesday.
The prospect of his first full England cap is not likely to dispel the misery he is obviously suffering after his tackle on Aaron Ramsey yesterday left the young Welsh international with a badly broken leg.
Fabio Capello delayed the announcement of his squad to consult with his assistant, Franco Baldini after the red card incident, but decided he'd still like the 22 year old in the squad and Ryan was phoned with the news whilst he was being driven home by his mother after the match at the Britannia.
It seems that, after some time to reflect on the horrendous injury, most have agreed with Tony Pulis that there was no malice in the tackle and he's been backed up by the referee, Peter Walton, who told Rory Delap that he knew it wasn't intentional and that he had no option but to send him off because of the seriousness of the injury.
Hopefully Ryan can put this behind him and concentrate on training with the England squad this week. Capello has said that he will take a look at the Stoke defender's state of mind when he reports to the England training camp.
Meanwhile, it's being reported that Aaron Ramsey has undergone surgery on a broken fibula and tibia and is likely to be out for the rest of this year. Despite an inappropriate chant from a small minority of moronic Stoke fans, all the fans joined in with sympathetic applause as he was carried away and we wish him a speedy recovery.

Go with Mankey.
macop would be my choice, it's not that difficult to finsd somebody to trade with.
It's a personal opinion. I'd go for Machop but I have both FireRed and LeafGreen so I'd be able to evolve it. Since you don't, go for Mankey because you can get its full power without the need to trade.
i would say primeape anyway because of teh move pool
Ruby: 0/8
Sapphire: 0/8
Emerald: 7/8
FireRed: 8/8
LeafGreen: 6/8

Those who have enemies have stood up for something in their lives...[IMG]http://i32.*******.com/bi8jg2.png[/IMG]Credit to Rosemary for the fantastic banner!
I would say go for primeape if you cant trade aswell.
I would go with Mankey because I don't really know how to trade except for on Nintendo DS games.
IMO fast sweeping is the best, so go with primeape.
Machamp is better, but Primape is cooler IMO and not what everyone goes for, it's in game, just try and get the best out of the pokemon you like best

Machop is cute. Mankey is scary. Who wins? Machop.
Meh. We got dis. Powerful vines and all. We whip 'em. With our vines. Powah Whip. :3
In honor of AlexandriaTheMixed and Project Retribution
i think you should go with machop
Machop is a better choice, especially once it evolves

Despite opposition from the commonwealth's attorney, Circuit Judge W. Allan Sharrett has allowed a non-Virginia lawyer as part of the defense team for a Colonial Heights man facing the death penalty.
Joseph W. Vigneri is an experienced capital defender with a solid track record in two states, but he has not yet waived in as a member of the Virginia State Bar. His application to appear on a one-time basis in the case was opposed by Colonial Heights Commonwealth's Attorney William B. Bray.
Vigneri has been hired by the state Indigent Defense Commission as the capital defender for the central region of Virginia. He has practiced criminal defense law in Illinois and Georgia.
Bray explained he had no objection to Vigneri's qualifications, but he hoped to avoid any future claims that the capital murder case against Matthew Brady was tainted by ineffective counsel.
"I was concerned about how this would look years later," Bray said.
Sharrett heard arguments last month on a motion to admit Vigneri pro hac vice in Brady's case. Sharrett ruled July 9 to grant the motion, allowing Vigneri on the case.
Brady, 29, is accused of robbing and killing an elderly couple in their Colonial Heights home in 2011. He is scheduled to stand trial in March. His case has been marked by more than 50 motions by the prosecution and defense.
Changes in the regional capital defender's office, including the September forced resignation of former capital defender David Baugh, led to changes in Brady's defense team. Vigneri was hired in March, according to David J. Johnson, executive director of the VIDC.
"I was very pleased we were able to convince him to come from Georgia," Johnson said. Vigneri had seven years of experience in Georgia as a senior staff attorney with that state's capital defender office, Johnson said. He defended 13 homicide cases in Illinois before moving to Georgia, according to a 2007 news report.
Vigneri last month said his motion for certification as a member of the VSB was still in the paperwork stage.

Learning How to Learn
i realized something over the past few months. after years of responding to the questions, "what's your major?" followed by "why a religion and communications double major?", i've realized that knowledge in any field applies directly to any other field. for instance, my religion major has happened to equip me very well for certain aspects of business, particularly sales. so how does karl bart's theology correlate with sales pitches?
here at calvin, the religion department routinely hands out the lowest GPAs. i think that's because all students are required to take a 100-level and a 200-level religion course as part of their core requirement. and contrary to other core courses, religion faculty don't lower their expectations just because most of their students aren't religion majors. the courses are tough: students are expected to read some really dense articles, regurgitate the information in thorough tests, and churn out several research papers within a semester. if i find these courses difficult as a religion major, i can't imagine how non-religion majors are faring. i've heard plenty of complaints, and i know my GPA would be a lot better if i didn't take religion classes.
but calvin's religion department is incredible, and i wouldn't be studying here if i wasn't majoring in religion. the department equips people for sales pitches in two ways. first, religion rewards diligence, and second, religion improves writing skills. i have some friends who participated in southwestern company's internship program. for an entire summer, they worked 70-80 hours over a six-day week doing door-to-door sales. before they hit the streets, they go through the company's orientation program. if i recall correctly, one of the rules-of-thumbs that the company teaches them is that ~15% of the people they approach simply will not buy the product. meanwhile, ~15% of those they approach will buy the product, just because they show up. your sales pitch determines what happens with the remaining 70%. the top interns earn $40,000+ in one summer because they've developed excellent pitches.
i have a lot of respect for southwestern interns, and they've taught me a lot about sales. the main lesson is that hard work pays off. even the worst southwestern intern can make a few thousand dollars in a summer if they spend 80 hours a week knocking on doors. it's a bit of a shotgun approachby virtue of statistics, ~15% of the doors they knock on will result in a successful sale. so they knock on a lot of doors. just like in calvin's religion classes, diligence pays off. if students follow their professor's advice and start their research papers two weeks before the deadline, they'll earn a good grade.
of course, you'll still need to be a decent writer, and that's what high school and calvin's english 101 course is for. like i said before, religion classes hone your writing skills. religion professors expect polished and well-researched papers, and they'll dock big points if any student falls short of their standards. every point needs to be backed up, and all points must contribute to a logical conclusion. if the professor isn't convinced by the student's arguments, the student will receive a low grade. no if, ands, or butsenough religion professors have already been placed on probation by calvin's administration for flunking large numbers of students. just like how religion professors won't accept a poorly-argued paper, potential customers will reject poorly-argued sales pitches. southwestern interns give their pitches in person, not on paper. i'm hoping to reach that level one day, because i think giving pitches in person is much harder than pitching by e-mail. at least with an e-mail pitch, i can leverage my religion-influenced writing skills.
i never expected any of this when i signed up for religion. but by sticking with a good program, i realized that the skills i'm developing can equip me for opportunities in many different fields. after all, i can't go wrong with learning how to sellwithin the next few years, i'll be selling myself to various employers and/or grad schools.

Issue 1. The Division's Rehabilitation Services Have a Positive Impact on the
Earnings and Work Continuity of Individuals with Disabilities.
Issue 2. The West Virginia Rehabilitation Center and its Hospital are Seriously Underutilized Causing a Disproportionate Allocation of Funds Which Should be Available Statewide.
This report is the second update of the Division of Rehabilitation Services since the original January 1996 report. The first update of the Division was delivered in February of 1997. Since the majority of recommendations in the February 1997 report were not in full compliance, the Legislative Auditor recommended that the Division be given a one year continuance, thus requiring additional monitoring of the agency. This update report uses the following categories to measure agency compliance with recommendations of the original report.
|Levels of Compliance
|In Compliance - The Agency has corrected the problems identified in the final draft of the audit report.
|Partial Compliance - The Agency has partially corrected the problems identified in the final draft of the audit report.
|Planned Compliance - The Agency has not corrected the problem but has provided sufficient documentary evidence to find that the agency will do so in the future.
|In Dispute - The Agency does not agree with either the problem identified or the proposed solution.
|Non-Compliance - The Agency has not corrected the problem identified in the final draft of the audit report.
|Requires Legislation - Statutory change is necessary to address the issue.

Bureau of Border and Alien Police of the Presidium of the Police Force
The Bureau of Border and Alien Police of the Presidium of the Police Force was founded on 1st April 2000 as an authority with competences for the whole country in the field of ensuring controls on the borders of the Slovak Republic. Within its organisational framework, there are three levels of management and that on a central level, reginal level and local level. In the following years, there were many organisational and structural changes, which were connected particularly with the entry of the Slovak Republic into European Union in 2004 and with its entry into Schengen Area in 2007.
Within the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic, the BAPB is integrated in the organisational framework of the Presidium of the Police Force. Currently, the most important task of the BAPB is the "integrated border management" in the Slovak Republic. Integrated border management is one of the key elements in ensuring common area
of freedom, security and justice in the European Union.
The BAPB is an authority with vertical management with competences of ensuring direct command with regard to the subordinated organisational units on the central, regional and local level. The main objective is to ensure uniform approach in border control, common system of planning and training and widespread exchange of information on all levels of the management.
The BAPB directly manages all subordinated organizational authorities within fulfilling tasks in the field of border control, fight against irregular migration and smuggling of migrants, investigation of crime connected to irregular migration, risk analysis, cooperation with Frontex Agency, travel documents analysis, granting of a residence/stay

After the entry into Schengen Area, the Slovak Republic has an external land border with the Ukraine in a length of 97,8 kilometres and an external aerial border on three "schengen" airports in Bratislava, Košice and in Poprad.
The Directorate of Border and Alien Police Sobrance is responsible on a regional level for the whole area of external land border with Ukraine. It directly manages ten units of border control of the Police Force. These units are responsible on a local level for carrying out border control and border surveillance on the external border. Excercise of
a border control is based on a 4 level system of control. On the first level, there is technical equipment placed exactly on the external border (for example continual camera network EBAS). In the second level, there are powers and means of "first line units" directly on the external border and in its close vicinity (police officers of the unit of border control of the Police Force). In the third level, there are own powers and means of the units of the Directorate of the Border and Alien Police Sobrance (mobile intervention unit).

With training camp ending and preseason in full swing, Mark Jones is finally healthy and ready to make his Tennessee Titans debut this Saturday at Cleveland.
Jones could be a busy man as he makes his way back from a hamstring injury, as he will pull double duty as both the first-team punt returner and kickoff return man against the Browns.
"I know I'm definitely starting and doing the punt returns. My name is up there on the ones depth chart on kickoff returns, so it looks like I'll be doing both," Jones said. "I like them both. I'm used to doing punt returns, and I'm excited about the opportunity to do kickoff returns as well."
Jones was the regular punt returner for the Carolina Panthers last year and added the kickoff return duties after the Panthers removed that responsibility from Jonathan Stewart's plate. Jones averaged 24 yards on 40 kickoff returns and 11.4 yards per return on 39 punts.
Likewise, special teams coach Alan Lowry is eager to see what Jones can do in both capacities.
"That's what we signed him for and hopefully we'll get to see what he can do. At Carolina last year, he was primarily a punt returner … and then did both. By the end of the season last year, I thought he was returning kickoffs very well," Lowry said.
In addition to Jones, the Titans will again look at rookies Javon Ringer and Jason McCourty on kickoffs against the Browns, while Tuff Harris and perhaps Kenny Britt will get a chance on punt returns.
The Titans have been toying with the idea of letting their first-round pick return punts, something he has wanted to do in camp and has done in practice.
"It just depends on how many you get and how well Mark has done. Mark needs to get some, so we'll see how his health is and how many we get in the game," Lowry said.
Britt, who has been fielding punts for approximately two weeks now, still his hopeful of getting a chance.
"Hopefully, I'll get one or two in there just to show them what I've got. They know I can catch the punts now, I just have to show them I can return it," Britt said.
Follow me
Running back LenDale White sent out on his Twitter feed a request for fans to follow his page to that he can have 10,000 followers by the end of training camp. At a check of White's Twitter page around 11 a.m. Wednesday, with just one training camp practice left, the running back had 8,624 followers.
Martin to Broncos
Former MBA star and Titans practice squad quarterback Ingle Martin has signed with the Denver Broncos. Martin was released by the Kansas City Chiefs earlier in preseason, but was signed in Denver because former Titan Chris Simms suffered a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss two to four weeks, according to reports.

Actor Jeremy London has been left "shaken and scared" after he was held at gunpoint and forced to take drugs in a bizarre car kidnapping in California last week.
The former "Party of Five" star, 37, pulled over to change a flat tire on his car and was approached by a group of men who offered to help. After replacing the flat, the actor offered to drive the good Samaritans home but during the trip, one of the assailants pulled out a gun and turned London into a taxi driver, visiting various locations around Palm Springs.
In a statement London later gave to police, he claims he was forced to "purchase alcohol and use illicit drugs" during his ordeal.
London, who has a history of prescription medication abuse, managed to escape and run to safety before reporting the terrifying ordeal to police.
His representative, Dominic Friesen, tells People.com, "Thankfully, Jeremy London survived his terrorizing ordeal in Palm Springs last week. Although understandably shaken and scared, he is currently working closely with law enforcement as they investigate the horrific turn of events."
Police have so far arrested one man, identified as Brandon Adams, 26, in relation to the alleged incident. He has been charged with kidnapping, robbery, possession of stolen property, vehicle theft and carjacking.

By Douglas W. Kmiec
Catholic Online
MALIBU, CA (Catholic Online) - Now that the two major parties have identified their nominees for President, Catholics must undertake the serious task of discerning whether there are faith-based reasons to support one candidate over another.
Deacon Keith Fournier has written that he cannot endorse either Senator Obama or Senator McCain at this point. I have endorsed Senator Obama. The distinguished Catholic politics scholar, Robert George of Princeton, has endorsed Senator McCain.
As a matter of Catholic teaching, who's right? None of us. Who's wrong? Also, none of us. Catholic teaching simply does not supply a single, definitive answer.
The Catholic Church does not presume to tell citizens how to vote, or endorse particular candidates, but it does outline important moral considerations, including the admonition that no Catholic can choose a candidate for the purpose of advancing a moral evil such as abortion or racism. A Catholic without that intent is free to support either Senator Obama or McCain or anyone.
Deacon Keith Fournier observes that even though Senator Obama "has regularly spoken of and demonstrated in his public interest work a concern for the poor," he needs "to expand his message of hope to include giving the hope of birth to our littlest neighbors." From a Catholic perspective, this is sound advice.
Likewise, Deacon Fournier notes in relation to the "support [of] deadly research and experimentation on human embryonic life[,] Senator McCain tries to justify this barbarism with reference to the fact that these human embryos will inevitably die in this unethical research, calling them 'spare embryos'. We need to help him see the error of that position." Amen to that as well.
However, in raising "other considerations," Deacon Fournier comments that "the next occupant of the White House will choose at least one Supreme Court Justice. That choice will, at least in this Constitutional lawyers mind, determine whether the current 'culture of death' hiding under the profane precedent of Roe v Wade will take another generation of our children before they are able to breathe our air and be welcomed into our family."
Those are heart-felt words, but for the reasons discussed below, they assume - mistakenly - what the overturning of Roe would actually mean. Given that abortion is an intrinsic evil without justification, thinking the overturning of Roe "solves" the abortion problem, when it does not, can mislead Catholics into the erroneous conclusion that any candidate unwilling to pledge reversal of Roe is categorically unworthy of support. I suspect that this is why the Deacon "dreads" the beginning of the campaign since both of the major candidates fall short of the Catholic ideal on the issue of the protection of human life.
So let's examine the nettlesome tragedy of abortion and the insufficient approaches of both candidates to date. Senator Obama's position accepts the existing legal regime which leaves the abortion decision with the mother as a "constitutional right." Senator McCain's position would leave the decision with the individual states. Neither position is fully pro-life, both are pro-choice, with the former focused on the individual and the latter focused on the right of the states. Senator McCain's position is sometimes described as pro-life, but in truth, it is merely pro-federalism (states being free under the McCain position to decide to permit or disallow abortion as they see fit).
Independent of my Catholic faith, as a constitutional law teacher, I respectfully disagree with both Senator Obama and Senator McCain since the Constitution was intended as a means to enforce and guarantee the unalienable right to life recited in the Declaration of Independence, where of course it is explicitly traced to our Creator. Since neither candidate presents a position fully compatible with Catholic teaching recognizing abortion for the intrinsic evil that it is, Catholic teaching asks us to work for the reduction of the incidence of abortion through the most prudent way possible.
There is no single answer on the most effective manner to reduce abortion either. My experience, and that of others whom I greatly respect for their tireless efforts in parish work and with Project Rachel and Catholic pregnancy centers, suggest that Senator Obama's emphasis on personal responsibility (conveying especially to young people the need to understand the maturity and commitment needed for sexual intimacy) is the course most likely to make a difference.
I respect the views of my fellow Catholics who would place greater emphasis upon new legal prohibition or restriction, but my experience is that the more effective way to actually protect life is to work directly face to face with someone facing the awful thought of taking an innocent life. This is imperfect I know, but this path calls upon us - personally - to meet as best one is able the social and economic and religious reassurance needed by the individual children of God (mother and unborn child) that touch our lives.
Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver rightly reminds Catholics that whether we favor personal or legal efforts to reduce abortion or some combination, our efforts must be more than just talk and that Catholics must "keep lobbying their party and their representatives to change their pro-abortion views and protect the unborn"? Again, sound advice. All Catholics regardless of party or preferred candidate are instructed by Evangelium Vitae to work for greater recognition and respect for the culture of life.
Since neither of the major political parties have acceptable positions, lobbying -- and a good deal of prayer -- is required to be directed for them both.
Again, it is my own conclusion that Senator Obama would be more open to these considerations since he is more dedicated toward reducing the partisanship of the past, has very responsibly and very consistently called upon our better natures, and has articulated -- long before he sought the presidency -- a genuine appreciation for the importance of faith in the public square. Others will find greater potential in Senator McCain's personal life experience as an adoptive father. Obama or McCain, Catholics must always give each other the benefit of the doubt that in reaching our conclusion, we stand upon the common ground of deepening the protection of human life.
Which ever candidate ultimately merits our approval, we should break out of the complacency of the past that seems to be inspired by thinking that we are merely one vote away from protecting life if only the right candidate "controls" the composition of the Supreme Court.
First, I think it's wrong to understand court appointments in this fashion as it indulges the pernicious notion of the rule of men rather than the rule of law. But, putting that law teacher's objection to one side, in truth, there is not a single member of the present Court willing to affirm the unalienable right to life from the moment of conception, as opposed to merely reversing a single court decision such as Roe, which, as best as I can tell, would directly save no unborn life.
Thus, we are actually nine votes away from the Catholic position, and that in itself is enough to convince me that change on the Supreme Court, after 20-some long years of working for and praying for such change, cannot be the only way in which respect for life is expressed.
So why then be filled with hope, rather than dread, as the general campaign begins in earnest? Because intelligently informed writing on this site and more widely between pro-life Republicans and pro-life Democrats is occurring at an unprecedented and civilized level.
My unfortunate experience of being denied communion by a well-meaning, but theologically mistaken, college chaplain is the exception, not the rule. The present thoughtful discussion has been inspired most directly by the American Catholic bishops and their very helpful discussion in a "Call for Faithful Citizenship," which is recommended reading for all Catholics in the United States before they exercise the franchise.
This document building upon the teaching of Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, reminds us that our obligation as Catholics extends well beyond any single issue, even as there are some, like abortion and racism that we can never accept.
The bishops' discussion reveals that it is possible to understand that there is often more than one way to address, and reduce the incidence of, an intrinsic moral evil without in any way endorsing that evil.
The on-going intelligent and civil discussion also allows us to grasp how no candidate who merely checks a pro-life box in a superficial way should be permitted to blind us from the balance of Catholic social teaching, including the strengthening of the family with a family wage and tax structure that is responsive to the needs of the average family; the ending of an unjust and disproportionate war; the care and stewardship of the human environment; and the structuring of society to look after the most vulnerable among us, including especially the elderly, the poor, and of course those whose voice can only be heard through ours.
May God bless our efforts and our nation, as our founders said in settling this land, "so long as we keep His covenant."
Doug Kmiec, Chair and Professor of Constitutional Law, Pepperdine University; former Dean and St. Thomas More Professor, The Catholic University of America

As far as the primary user, normal x86, is concerned, the sysmon_pswitch(9) code is just a wrapper. The use of it is furthermore awfully inconsistent. IMHO, it is somewhat absurd to deliver events to user space powerd(8), which then delivers the events back to the kernel using MD buttons (e.g. sysctl). - Jukka.

Jackson County schools ready with solutions for next year's STAAR test
July 21, 2014 at 2:21 a.m.
Educators in Jackson County are poring over preliminary results for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness exams, looking for trends in success and areas that need improvement.
The Edna school district saw pockets of excellence in its 2014 preliminary results and are taking a deeper look into what's working.
Many grade levels that have improved have a block model for reading and math, and the district wants to expand that model to other grade levels, said Nancy Day Sandlin, curriculum and instruction director.
High school algebra passing rates jumped from 52 percent to 79 percent.
Many areas tested last year, such as algebra II, geometry, chemistry, world geography and a separated English test, weren't comparable because the subjects were dropped from the test in the 83rd Legislative session.
Growth was visible, but educators strive for 100 percent scores, Sandlin said. English scores need improvement.
"We are implementing an eight-period day at our secondary campuses to provide additional time for those students who need additional time for reinforcement and remediation in math and reading," she said. "We're also looking at ways to increase the rigor and relevance of the courses for all students, which will help us decrease all student performance gaps."
While third- and fifth-grade students improved in all areas, fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth saw passing rates at 40, 50 and 60 percent. The biggest decline was in eighth-grade social studies, which went from a 52 percent passing rate in 2013 to a 42 percent passing rate this year.
"We are aware of our successes and failures and have delved into the data to construct plans for our district in setting goals," Sandlin said.
Ganado school district is hiring a curriculum instruction specialist to help academically align the district, interim superintendent John Hardwick said.
Across the board, grade levels had highs and lows, with eighth-graders pulling in a 100 percent passing rate in algebra but only hitting about the halfway mark in science and social studies.
Those outliers is what the district will focus on, Hardwick said.
Hardwick said the district specifically found room in its 2014-15 budget for the specialist because they wanted to better prepare students for the next round of testing, especially in areas in which substantial drops were seen, such as seventh-grade math and eighth-grade science.
"You don't always go to the smoke," he said. "Sometimes, you don't go to the seventh or eighth grade because the fire may have started in the fourth, fifth or sixth grade and came to a head in the seventh or eighth grade."
The district also will work toward examining English I and II results because of the test changing this year.
Hardwick said they're still able to see how well the high school students did on components and will use that to improve the low scores.
"Ganado can do better than that," he said. "We know we need to look at that and see if it were the way it was tested or the way it was prepared."
Industrial school district has a history of scoring high on state testing and continued that tradition this year, curriculum director Shelly Dominguez said.
"One of the things we look at is how the state did and compare that to how our kids did, and we just really did above and beyond," she said.
The school district exceeded state average scores in all areas except high school U.S. history.
This year, the exams will be returned to the schools, and Dominguez said that will give educators a better understanding of which questions were missed and allow them to go back and look at how that curriculum was delivered to the students.
"We want to figure out what it was the kids were missing," she said.
Last year, high school students were given two separate tests for English - reading and writing - and this year, the subjects were combined. Dominguez said the preliminary results show a vast improvement.
"We are doing well, but we certainly know we have a higher mark to reach in the future," she said, stating that STAAR tests are harder and presented in a different format than previous state testing. "It changed, and the students from elementary on were used to a different test, and when they changed it, it was a difficult shift for a lot of our kids to make."
Third- through eighth-grade students did well, Dominguez added, earning 100 percent passing rates in algebra 1 - a high school level course - and eighth-grade math.
"The teachers, they do work extremely hard; they are always looking for ways to improve, and they take what they do very seriously," Dominguez said. "They put in an extraordinary amount of time, and we also have good parent support and communication."

I located further information.I was mistaken, Anna Gleason was born in 1904.Her maiden name is Zimney.
I located the names and approximate years of birth of the siblings of Levi Gleason.They are as follows:Mary E. Gleason (1875), Carrie B. Gleason (1879), Victor H. Gleason (1884), Grace Gleason (1891), and Arthur Gleason (1893).
Also, this Gleason family grew up in Altmar Village, New York, not Elmira as I originally thought.
Any information that anyone has on this branch of the Gleason family would be much appreciated.Thanks!

Travel Photography Travel Postcards Italy Postcards Max and Angus in front of the Roman Arena in Verona.
We had just spent the evening on a train between Naples and Verona. We got off the train at 6:30 am and dropped our bags off at the hotel but couldn't check in until 2 pm. The hotel was about 15 minutes from the city centre so we set out in search of coffee. This was our next stop. Minutes after this picture was taken, we all grabbed a park bench for a quick snooze...all except Angus who spent the time cutting his toenails. Fortunately, the square was not very busy so the Clarkes not-so-stellar arrival was not seen by many. We rallied, did some touring and then fell into our hotel room for further napping and clothes washing.

From sumptuous pastel plush to rugged berber tweeds, carpet is a universally popular floor covering, Broadloom has long been synonymous with comfort and luxury, but in today's eclectic room schemes, carpeting is just one of numerous soft options for a high-fashion floor.
Whether you choose a room-size loose-laid or wall to wall permanently installed over a cushion, this soft floor covering, offers many practical advantages. Broadloom's sweep of color and underfoot comfort gives any room-even sparely set ones-a more "furnished" feeling. Colors can work magic, too. For example, a light hue visually expands a small space, and a dark one cozies up a large room. Carpet in a sunny color can visually warm a room short on natural light. Before you buy carpets, study samples at home, and remember that the color of a room-size carpet will be more intense than the samples.
Advantages of Carpeting
Materials and construction give carpeting inherent virtues that may suit your decorating needs.
- Broadloom absorbs sound, an appealing feature for condominiums, town houses, and homes with high ceilings.
- Yarn construction and surface texture add soft contrast to a room's angular architecture.
- As versatile camouflage, broadloom goes over any existing floor, with no need for a new sub-floor, and it hides uneven surfaces and existing floor damage.
- Today, carpet is available with soil, stain, odor, and static-resistant features, and manufacturing techniques have increased its durability and cleanability.

It's my favorite time of year – sale time! The Sephora VIB sale is coming up November 11 – 14 and it's time to score 20% off everything. VIB Rouge was lucky enough to get first dibs, but there are still plenty of items for us VIBs. I also end up requalifying for VIB through my purchases through this sale (timing!) I was never that into beauty and skincare. But that all changed in my 30s and I get products that are worth the money. I've stocked up my cart with both essential items as well as splurges. I need to stock up again on foundation and get a good foundation brush as well. I'm going for the Shiseido Foundation Brush since it's pretty well recommended. But I also wanted to try out a few new items so the Grand Hotel Café palette and Ambient® Lighting Palette seem like good bets.
What are you getting at the Sephora sale?
1. Hourglass Immaculate® Liquid Powder Foundation Mattifying Oil Free, $44.80
2. Shiseido Perfect Cleansing Oil, $25.60
3. Shiseido Foundation Brush, $24
4. Beauty Blender, $16
5. Smashbox Iconic Photo Finish Foundation Primer, $28.80
1. Tom Ford Moisturecore lip color, $44
2. Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Palette, $49.60
3. Too Faced Grand Hotel Café, $39.20

EU 'better than North America' for China firms
Chinese firms consider the European Union as good or better an investment destination than North America, the EU chamber of commerce in China said on Thursday, despite the euro zone's debt crisis and recessionary woes.
Even more preferred to put money into the European Union than nearby Southeast Asia, where some countries have significant Chinese minorities.
The European Union "is perceived as welcoming to foreign investment; with few market access barriers and little history of opposition to Chinese investment on national security grounds", the report said.
The survey of 74 Chinese companies that have already established themselves in the European Union found 33 per cent considered it more favourable for investment than North America, with 45 per cent saying it was the same and 21 per cent less favourable.
Compared to Southeast Asia, 48 per cent said the European Union was more favourable and 28 per cent less favourable, with 24 per cent seeing them as the same.
But the report added that according to Chinese government data just five per cent of Chinese overseas investment went to Europe in the 2004-2010 period.
"This would mean that mainland Chinese investments only counted for 1.4 per cent of total ODI (outward direct investment) into the EU in 2011, whereas the EU accounts for around 20 per cent of investment into China," it said.
The actual proportions may be different, it pointed out, as more than 60 per cent of mainland Chinese overseas investment goes to Hong Kong, and it was likely the final destination was elsewhere for "a significant proportion" of that.
Chinese officials have criticised Washington for placing barriers to trade and doing business with the United States.
A US congressional committee said in October last year that Chinese telecom giants Huawei and ZTE should be excluded from government contracts because their equipment could be used to spy.
In an earlier case, Chinese state-owned energy giant CNOOC was forced to withdraw its bid to buy US oil and gas producer Unocal in 2005 following an outcry in Washington.
The surveyed firms were described as "large in terms of number of employees and revenue", and around two-thirds were state-owned, the European chamber said.
It found 97 per cent will continue to invest in the European Union, with 82 per cent saying they would increase their amounts, but 78 per cent reported finding operational difficulties in the region, mostly related to bureaucracy and cost issues.
"They are looking for new markets to place their products," Davide Cucino, president of the chamber, told reporters, adding that the companies wanted to "acquire technology and experience they don't have in mainland China".
Chinese investments overseas reached US$77 billion last year, up 28.6 per cent year on year.
