Personally, and I may be arrogant or just stubborn, I would be obliged to offer a better map product (compare their maps aside mine) and let them decide which level of cartography they want in their publications, etc. Even do a focus group - which might be all you need to get in the door.
Keep in mind the cultural differences... Even between Europe and North America there's a big difference in the kind of maps the general audience prefers. If I were to go to one of my clients over here and suggest them a street map in the same style as for example Rand McNally or the AAA use, they would think I'm out of my mind. This has nothing to do with cartographic quality, it's just the difference in the kind of maps that are used in different parts of the world. In the end, the map buyer will go with what they're comfortable and familiar with.
By all means go ahead and try to offer a better map product, but be aware that it might be difficult.

COMFORT WOMEN By Deaconess Katherine Kim JANUARY 16, 2016.
The Bronze statue of a teenage "comfort woman" in front Japanese embassy in Seoul, South Korea represents one of many thousands of Korean young women who were forced to serve as prostitutes in wartime military brothels for imperial Japanese soldiers. Citizens' group paid for the statue in 2011. Well-wishers bring her flowers, shoes and in stormy weather even a hat and raincoat. Now the statue will be moved to a different location as part of a landmark agreement between the two countries(Japan and South Korea). On 12/28/2015,theyfinally try to settle their dispute oncomfort women.
The war time sexual slavery, so-called "comfort women" are set up by the Japanese army. They were kidnapped, coerced, lured, tricked and sold into prostitute for the Japanese military during the Asia-Pacific war.Poverty and scarcity of jobs in rural area were themain cause of draft. The majority of these women were from Korea, but many were also from China, Indonesia, Philippines, and other countries under Japanese occupation. Eighty percent of these women were aged between 14 to18. These young and naïve girls are drafted against their will. Tens of thousands of comfort womenwere raped dozens of times a day, beaten and infected with venereal diseases.
Only 46 survived to date now. Under the deal, South Korea will set up a fund for victims into which the Japanese government will pay $8.3m for their medical and nursing care. The Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe has expressed "sincere apologies and remorse" for their suffering.
Two countries' foreign ministers called a "final and irrevocable" resolution. The agreement is to face protest in South Korea; Groups representing the survivors say that the women were not consulted. South Korean activists will oppose moving the statue. Calls may grow for Japan's Prime Minister Abe to come and make a personal apology to survivors, rather than through Korean President Park. Citizen's group have been demonstrated in front of Japanese embassy in Seoul. They are angry and are protesting the agreement saying that 24 years of demonstration of screaming and yelling for the truth went into a vapor(disappeard)….asking Japanese government's real apology and regrets.
I came to find out Comfort Women when I went Seoul, S. Korea in year 2001 with Korean consultativegroup of Women's Division for a leadership training. I have been personally involved since; we demonstrated in front of Japanese embassy. In 2004 I testified in front of GBGM legislative committee of General Conference requesting Japanese emperor Hirohito's apology, sending a rep to Tokyo Women's tribunal, many meetings… the last one in San Francisco city council's hearing on building comfort woman monument. SF city council unanimously passed the matter. I am glad it is finally over, but I think we need to have Abe's personal apology and direct compensation to the victims. At SF hearing, few local Japanese argued that they paid all the debt through The Japanese-South Korea Basic Treaty of 1965. In fact Comfort women were completely left out of the terms. Due to Korean War in June 1950, comfort women were not a priority of Korean government. Most comfort women were from the poorer, lower classes, the issue was insignificant to the S. Korean politicians.
The Tokyo War Crimes Trial for the WWII remained largely silent about the comfort women.One novel civil society initiative was the 2000 Women's International War Crimes Tribunal. The Women's Tribunal was supported by women's NGOs throughout Asia and instigated by the Violence against Women in War Network, Japan. The Women's Tribunal declared the proceedings of the Tokyo Trial incomplete because they had failed to adequately consider sexual enslavement or to prosecute those responsible for these crimes. It is worth to notice that the use of comfort stations by Allied soldiers was one factor in extending blanket immunity.
Upon return to their family after the war, most comfort women kept silent for their experiences. But they suffered psychologically, physically and emotionally. Their war time experiences ruined many comfort women's chances of a stable family life. Rejected by her family and society, no money, no matter how much, can ever compensate us for what we went through one woman said.
In a society dominated by patriarchal views of chastity and morality, and a lack of openness about sex, the shame of the whole experience silenced many women. Many may have felt themselves to blame for their fate. Women in such a position were more likely to keep their whole war time ordeal silent rather than demonstration for compensation.
These are few testimonies; the soldiers were allotted 30 minutes for sex and they lined upin front of the cubicles at the "Comfort station." The Japanese government must compensate us. They should also publicize the crimes committed and take measures not to repeat them. The Korean government asked us to come out from hiding and speak out the truth. So I did. I spoke out my past that hidden even from my mother. Now I wish the Korean government would be more forceful in representing our interests, and help us regain our dignity. All these years, I have lived in secret, in shame, and in pain. I was totally exausted. I could keep neither my sense of humiliation nor my dignity. I felt like a living corpse. When soldiers came to my room and did it to me one after another, it was done to a lifeless body. Neither did they provide sanitary provisions, nor condoms or any other means to prevent venereal diseases, not to speak of disinfectants. The most painful thing was continuous forced sex acts with soldiers. Saturdays and Sundays are the worst, facing 30 to 40 men a day. I never married. I have no children. All these years, I have earned my living, working as a maid or in restaurants. I miss the ordinary life that most women enjoy; getting married and having a family. How would you feel if your own daughter met the same fate as mine.
Jan Ruff, a Dutch woman testified; they had taken everything away from me, my self-esteem, dignity, freedom, possessions, and my family. But there was one thing that they could never take away from me. It was my Faith and my love for God… It was my deep faith in God that helped me survive all that I suffered at the brutal, savage hands of the Japanese. I have forgiven the Japanese for what they did to me but I can never forget.

As has been previously noted, there are two ways you can go when solving a round of Spaghetti: Surprisingly simple, or gloriously wacky. Yesterday we saw plenty of both.
James McTeague received the most votes by making us wonder if this wasn't an actual metapuzzle instead of a bunch of random words: He observed that each word contained two Is and/or Os, and these could be arranged to spell out a word in binary. Honestly, I've seen real puzzles that were less elegant.
Codeman also played with the Is and Os, arranging the words into two strings so that all the Is were in one half and all the Os in the other. Amazingly, this technique reveals an eight-letter answer, CALIPERS, sitting right there, plain as day. Hard to believe.
Ange took third place, though in my opinion her answer best captured the absurdity of the whole exercise: It wasn't enough that she was able to create an actor's name out of each random word (by, of course, spelling each word backwards and adding a letter to a substring). She went the extra mile to determine that each actor had been in a movie with a punctuation mark in the title. Because obviously. The letters she added spelled out KEITEL, giving us another actor famous for punctuation-laden movies, or anyway, he had one in his resume, thank goodness.
Congrats to our three winners. You are all crazy brilliant. And also, just plain crazy.
Shall we do one more round?
I think perhaps the random number generator read yesterday's results and concluded that it was too easy on all of you. Let's see what you make of these five words:
As before, you can add a sixth word of your choosing, if you wish. Whether you come up with an answer or not, please do check back and read what other people submit, and choose one or more as your favorites. Good luck!

Forgive the newcomer, but everything I read seems to either start in the middle or bottom. Can somebody help me out with the beginning? Suppose I am in my favorite Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and want to checkout the latest version of x.c. Nothing fancy, no branches. Everything I have read so far seems to start at "once you have found the Vportal, here are the set of operations you can perform" For example, In the June 9th version of draft-whitehead-webdav-versioning-00, there is a datasheet.html which has a portal at /products/chips/6502 which is associated with vgraph:4A7F-52DE-5DFA29FE-12A0 and is set up to return /vcache/68432.html. I believe I can follow the chain from portal to vgraph to cache, but can't quite make the leap from the conceptual resource to the portal.Received on Sunday, 26 July 1998 14:42:47 UTC

Keep omagh words simple
When it comes to memorials, I have always thought fewest words are best. The folk in Omagh have endured enough already. They should not now be put through a petty dispute about the wording on their planned memorial. That wording should never seek to score points. It should be for remembrance alone, not politics.
If explanations are desired for the visitor from afar, there should be ample scope for them on an accompanying panel nearby. But the memorial itself should not be debased to the level of a political tract. Names and dates will do, with perhaps an agreed quotation.
When the drama of the selection of the unknown soldier of the Great War was played out in Flanders and Westminster in November 1920, culminating in his burial in the Abbey, the arrangements largely reflected the very simple idea of an little known Army padre, the Rev David Railton.
In the spring of 1916, when the plans for the four and a half months' campaign known as the Battle of the Somme were being drawn up, he was returning from the front line one evening at dusk to his billet near Armentieres, south of Ypres.
Behind it was a small garden and in it a single grave. A cross of raw, white wood stood at one end. On this had been scrawled in deeply-indented lead pencil, 'An unknown British soldier (of the Black Watch)'.
He felt very helpless in his inability to do anything to ease the pain of the unknown family to whom that particular patch of earth would be of supreme significance. But he never forgot it.
In August 1920, nearly two years after the Armistice, he finally summoned up the courage to write to the Dean of Westminster, Herbert Ryle, that he might consider burying in the Abbey the remains of an unknown soldier. The inspiration spread upwards quickly, to the War office, then to Number Ten, to the Cabinet and finally to Buckingham Palace. The rest, of course, is history.
At the funeral service on November 11, as the choir sang Psalm 23, the coffin was laid in soil from the Ypres salient and a slab of black marble from Namur was placed on the top of the tomb, which is inset in the floor just inside the great west door. It was Dean Ryle who composed the wordy inscription which is engraved upon it. It goes on and on at some length; and then there is, from my recollection, a text from the Bible engraved round the margin. So simple an idea, I have always thought, rather spoilt by this last fussiness.
The French also espoused Railton's inspiration. If you stand beneath the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, in the chilly breeze which ruffles the great tricolour above and which appears to blow round the slight eminence of the Etoile even on the hottest day of summer, you will find a simple dedication indeed: "Ici reste un soldat inconnu, mort pour la patrie." That is all. And, in that setting, it says it all, does it not?
Fr Tom Toner wants to see more police on the streets of west Belfast. Do not we all? In east Belfast, north and south too! And in the urban and rural reaches of all six counties! But the rest of the nation is the same. Everyone wants to see the old-fashioned bobby back. They say he is no longer to be seen.
They say he spends too much time filling up forms. Well, we have it from the horse's mouth. Stuart Davidson, an English constable, says they could achieve much more if they were allowed to get out from behind their desks. He says young colleagues are leaving the UK in droves, just when they are becoming useful, to join the police in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. One Australian force is recruiting 600 new officers, the majority of them British.
Davidson himself has been in Canada to see policing in Alberta. Briefed one evening, they all went out on patrol to look for criminals. Not two or three officers, he said, with the rest left behind doing paperwork. They all went out. Soon they picked up a 15-year-old drunk with a knife. He was charged and taken home to his parents within the hour. Do that in the UK, said he, and the paperwork would fill the rest of the shift. ("Gee," said the Canadians, "how do you guys ever solve anything?")
Davidson maintains that police services in the UK have become machines of social engineering, not crime-fighting. As for the emigration, when even the police start leaving the country, he suggests it may be time to admit to problems. In Northern Ireland we could tell him we have been here long ago - when Patten, in his anti-RUC zeal, lost the baby with the bath water. We now pay the price.
The experience which would guide the way to a practical solution of Fr Toner's community problem is now well settled in, thank you, and sinking a sundowner on the terrace at Los Arenales del Sol.

GREAT BEND, Kan. (AP) — A Dutch man who uses a metal detector to search for World War II relics has found the long-buried dog tag of Kansas soldier.
Now, 29-year-old Rico Peters is looking for relatives of Jesse G. Burris. The Great Bend Tribune (http://is.gd/w3exds ) reports that Peters learned through his research that Burris was born in Great Bend in 1916. Burris joined the Army in 1941 as a warrant officer. He survived the war and died in 2001 at the age of 85, and is buried in the Kansas City area.
For now Peters is keeping the dog tag in a small museum he's started. Other relics he's uncovered in the woods around his home of Kerkrade include tooth brushes, tubes of shaving cream, buttons and shell casings.

About me:
Hi, my name is India, creator of A Vegan Obsession. I love tinkering with recipes and making them my own. I have always been keen to do things my way. Give me a recipe and I just cannot help but tweak it. My vegan lifestyle goes hand in hand with my default setting, to make everything I eat as healthy as possible. My body dictates my diet needs to be free of gluten. I've learned to listen to that. I love the sensual nature of food; textures, colours, smells.
My goal is to inspire you to eat what you want..in moderation (I'm still learning that one!). I want you to see that those foods you hold so dear can be made vegan and healthy so that with a little bit of experimentation you can have the flavours you crave and if you are sugar free, dairy free, gluten free, low fat, etc, that they is a way for you feel excited by food and NEVER feel like you are going without.
Back in 2001 I was bitten by the travel bug. It is now in my blood and my travels take me all over the world. My way of reaching new people and understanding cultures is through their food. I love to observe how people grow and shop for their food, and I wander around city and village to discover what they create in their homes and cafes and how they use food to create community. As I hope to do when I bring it back to you.
I began this blog in 2010, sitting in a cafe in San Francisco. I shared the foods I'd found in the stores and the dinners I ate in local restaurants.
If you want to be healthy and eat right for your body then I will show you how.
I have been featured on local radio on the Sussex coast, UK, The Sunday Telegraph & Huffington Post, contributed to a Charity Cooking Zine by Hannah Banana Bakery.
work with me:
I love to discover new products on the market that will help those that seek it find easy and delicious ways to eat a (mostly) healthy, plant based diet. If you are interested in sending samples for review and/or enquiring about running a giveaway then please get in touch.
I am also available for freelance photography, writing and recipe development projects. Please go to the Contact page and just ask.

Press Release Question
For any of you who have had press releases written, can you give me a ballpark idea of how much to expect to pay?

Is Pleasing Google Worth It Anymore?
Is Pleasing Google Harming Your Business?
Every site owner and webmaster must answer this question for themselves,
but since all the endless updates and constant algorithm changes, Google
is not making that decision any easier. Since the Panda and Penguin Updates,
some webmasters go so far as wondering whether ranking in Google is worth
all the pain and frustration.
Then the cold hard reality and more importantly, your traffic log stats,
hits you in the face. Google search engine traffic is very valuable – get
just a faction of this traffic, and you can have a profitable site or business
on the web. For many webmasters, obtaining high keyword rankings in Google
for your niche or business, simply means steady sales and leads on a daily basis.
However, if your site has come under a manual penalty or suffered with
all the different changes, is Google worth your time to fix? If you can
afford to out-source your recovery and link building chores, pleasing
Google is well worth it. But if you're a small operation and have to
spend all your time fixing issues, which Google is constantly inventing
and re-inventing, then you may consider all the time wasted too costly
for the survival of your online business. It's a business call or decision
every site owner has to make.
In other words, don't ignore your site and business, just for the sake of
pleasing Google. For over 10 years, Google has been conditioning webmasters
and site owners to jump when they say jump – we are probably all guilty of
being manipulated by Google. Dog, Pavlov and Bell. More sadly, we have all
become addicted to all that free search traffic – maybe it's time we all
kicked the Google habit.
Concentrating only on Google may be the wrong strategy here and one only
site owners must decide for themselves.
Again, what makes this decision really tricky, Google simply controls the
majority of the web's search traffic, especially in the lucrative North
American market. So even if you get a number one ranking in both Bing and
Yahoo… the traffic is nothing compared to what you would receive with a
number one ranking in Google. Been there, done that.
However, Google has become extremely unstable in the last year and a half.
Getting and maintaining your Google rankings and traffic are a total crap-shoot,
almost every day, there are changes to Google's algorithm, the complex formula
they use to rank sites and content on the web. No matter how pure your site
is or how pure your marketing tactics may be – there's no guarantee your site
won't see a drastic drop in traffic from Google, without any notice or warning.
So is Google worth all the hassle?
Yes, but putting all your marketing efforts into the Google traffic basket
can prove to be a fatal mistake. One many site owners and marketers sadly
discovered in 2011 and 2012. A much better marketing strategy is to diversify
your traffic sources – so you're just not receiving the majority of your traffic
from Google search. Make sure your site can be found and ranked high in the other
search engines such as Bing, Yahoo and now Facebook. Build traffic links with other
related sites in your niche, put the emphasis on getting targeted traffic and
visitors, and not just for SEO reasons.
In addition, make sure your site has a strong presence in all the major social
networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Pinterest… and so on. Build
strong communities in all these networks and use these communities to boost
your traffic. Don't forget about Google, but just consider it like your rich
step-sister, the one standing in the doorway, which can be relied upon, to give
you extra valuable traffic every now and then.
However, if you're still having trouble with Google and becoming more frustrated
each and every day – take heart and always remember this important fact and never
forget it:
The Web Is Mightier Than Google – Always Has Been And Always Will Be.
Helping People Succeed Online Since 2002!

I hope no one minds me hijacking this site to get a bit of job hunting advice? I completed my RHS Level 2 Principles in Horticulture last year with a view to changing my career (I am currently a PA). However I have since discovered that I cannot get a role that pays the amount I require to cover my mortgage, bills etc without experience in the gardening world. I was wondering if I could combine my PA skills along with my gardening skills and knowledge and if anyone knew where I could start? I have tried various websites including Horticulture Jobs & Gumtree. Any advice welcome please.

MSRTC goes ad mad to cover losses caused by recent diesel price hike
The state transport body has decided to generate revenue by displaying audio-visual ads at various bus stands across the state; plans to develop shopping malls on its land
In a bid to cover the Rs 1,000 crore loss, which the Maharashtra State Transport Corporation (MSRTC) is expected to incur by the end of this year due to monthly hike in diesel prices, the transport body has decided to generate revenue by displaying audio-visual advertisements at various bus stands across the state.
Jeevanrao Gore, chairman of MSRTC visited Swargate depot yesterday to review its condition. While interacting with media persons, Gore said that MSRTC is currently facing a financial crisis. "Diesel prices increase every month by 45 paise per liter, which in turn add to our expenditure by Rs 20 crore a month. We don't want to put burden on commuters by hiking ticket fare, as we had recently increased the fare by 12 per cent. Hence, are looking at other ways to generate revenue.
" Currently, the transport body earns Rs 12 crore per annum from print advertisement in form of posters and hoarding at various bus stands. But now, it's also planning to generate revenue thought audio-visual advertisements. "Even the Railways have adopted the same strategy. We have called for tenders. There are more than 350 bus stands in the state. We expecting good business from cities like Pune, Mumbai, Nashik and Aurangabad," he said.
Gore added the MSRTC has also implemented incentive system for drivers and conductors. "Like the way private buses function, drivers and conductors of MSRTC buses too are expected to take efforts to increase sale of the tickets. They will not even stop on the request."
MSRTC also plans to develop shopping complexes and malls on its land. "Our officials are conducting survey for the same," said Gore. Six bus stands – Panvel, Ratnagiri, Akola, Aurangabad, Nashik and Mhaswad - will soon accommodate shopping mall, and the constructed will be carried out on build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis.

Posted by Roy Suomi on June 14, 2012 at 15:43:37 from (184.108.40.206):
My engine swap in a Case CX47 mini hoe...Took out a well used Yanmar and swapped in a 1903 Kubota..My top issue is the fan , I think.. I had to replace the engine fan with an electric fan.. [ Mr Gasket # 1987 ]. Supposedly the Gasket fan is good for 1800 plus CFM.... The Kubota waterpump is slightly off center with the crankshaft , so the blades would have to be trimmed to fit.. This is why I opted for the electric fan..Swapped out the thermostat..Turned the fan blade assembly around and made sure the fan rotation was correct.. It'll blow yer hat off..The radiator was taken out of the same machine the engine came from..It was clean as a whistle.. I took the waterpump off again to make sure no rags were left in there [ to keep mice out while apart].. Made the fan continuous run with key on..Took thermostat out and tried it..I'm kinda wondering if there isn't enough air supply for the fan to pick up.. Most of the body surround panels are gasketed and tight..I think I'll take off a side panel to try anything different.

Today I did something I have wanted to do for a long time. While I wish I could say that involved me learning how to
open the book start studying for a test earlier than the day before the exam, it didn't. I was feeling ambitious but I wasn't feeling crazy! I cooked tofu! For the first time ever!
I'm honestly surprised I haven't tried to make it before today. I LOVE tofu! But the thought of cooking it has always seemed daunting to me.
Wouldn't you be daunted by this? Without clear and easy-to-follow directions I would be at a total loss for what to do with this big spongy block. Enter Mama Pea. She recently posted a tofu dipper recipe on her blog I thought would be perfect for my first venture into tofu making! It seemed really simple to make, and once I got the prep work out of the way, a meal that would be ready in minutes!
I started prepping last night before bed by cutting the firm tofu into blocks and laying them out on a cutting board with a clean towel laid over it.
I then covered the tofu with another towel and set another cutting board on top of it. I then put some heavy books on top (Is that where my leadership book got to?) and transported it to the fridge. It stayed there overnight to dry out.
I woke up early this morning to finish prepping the tofu and get cracking on my leadership studying. I got a lot done the night before but was still feeling like I really needed to drill the power points.
I woke up to find the tofu like this. I read on a blog somewhere in passing that the ideal texture for tofu after its dried is like an old sponge. While it doesn't sound appetizing that is exactly what it looked like.
Mama Pea's tofu marinade called for an interesting mix of ingredients. While I had no idea what it was going to taste like I trusted it would be good. Some variations from her recipe included me using actual mustard instead of mustard powder (I forgot we had some in the cabinet.), real lemon concentrate instead of fresh lemon juice, and I left out liquid smoke simply because I didn't have it. While its best to go by the original recipe the tofu still turned out amazing this way so I'm happy continuing to make it like this in the future.
After mixing the marinade I added the tofu making to sure to get every piece coated. I placed this dish in the refrigerator around 8:30 am, and didn't touch it until about 5:45 when I started to make dinner. After getting the tofu all set for the day I made a breakfast burrito and did some leadership studying until my 11 am economics class.
After econ I headed over to Starbucks to use the hour and a half before leadership to do a last minute cram session. I decided I could use all the caffeine I could get and got a grande white chocolate mocha with skim milk and no whip. It was wonderful. I got through a lot of material and while still nervous about my test (I've had this professor before, his tests are all essays) I was feeling a lot more prepared. I read over the powerpoints a lot of times and copied all the pertinent information from the chapters down into my notebook and read over that. Writing the information myself can really help the material set in my brain. After finishing up studying I decided to head home to pick up a banana to snack on while I wrote my essays and found this really big box waiting for me in the kitchen.
Check back on Friday for an awesome giveaway (its my first!!) involving what's inside this box! Any guesses? ;p
After grabbing a banana I was back out the door to take my leadership test. I was really nervous by that point and felt so relieved when the test was handed out and I realized I knew all the material! While I won't know my grade until Monday I feel really confident I did well! By the time all my classes were done for the day I came home and was starving. I was craving tofu.
This is what it looked like after marinating all day.
I set the broiler to low and laid out all the tofu on a greased baking pan.
This was my first time broiling something by myself and I was surprised when Diane told me to open the oven door so they cook right. As someone who was always told to stop peaking on the cookies/cakes/brownies while they baked because I was letting out all the hot air, learning that when you broil you leave the door open fascinated me.
I cooked them for five minutes on one side, then flipped them and cooked them for another four minutes. During this time I also ate two pieces of cheese and enough pesto and coco pop I was worried I was going to ruin my appetite. I shouldn't have worried. ;p
The tofu came out amazing. I immediately started popping some of them into my mouth and found them to be perfectly seasoned. The marinade is incredible!
I decided to stop eating the tofu straight off the baking sheet before I had no more left for a real dinner and decided to put them atop a bed of lettuce and scoops of the Sabra artichoke and spinach hummus I got yesterday. It was perfect! And gone within minutes. Along with 3/4 of the entire block of tofu. I resisted eating all of it because I have an awesome idea for the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I already know I'm going to be cooking with tofu a lot from now on! It is so simple to make and not scary at all!
Time to do some baking! I'm experimenting with a recipe I'll be sharing with you guys next week! I hope you all have a great night!
Question of the Day: What is something you were worried about recently that turned out to not be that big of a deal?

A tornado touched down in the mountains west of Denver on Saturday afternoon, knocking over campers and slightly injuring four people at Witcher Cove Campground.
Tornados rarely touch down in the mountains.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Sharon Morris, the Park County coroner, who was fielding media calls on behalf of the county. "And I've been here 25 years."
The twister appeared to have touched down once at about 2:15 p.m. on the north side of Eleven Mile Reservoir in Eleven Mile State Park.
The park has 24 camper spaces, but not all of them were in use, Morris said.
Witnesses got a look at the rare mountain tornado, she said.
Colorado is ninth in the country in tornado activity, with more than 40 twisters touching down each year, according to the state emergency- management office.
"Almost all of Colorado's tornado activity occurs in the plains east of the Rocky Mountains. Tornadoes are comparatively rare in mountainous areas because the rugged terrain tends to disrupt the storm conditions needed for tornado formation," according to an analysis of the state's tornadoes by the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Sheriff Fred Wegener estimated about five vehicles were damaged, including a motor home and pickup with a camper that overturned. He says another camp trailer was "completely obliterated."
Other vehicles had damage such as broken windows.
He said injuries were limited to cuts and scrapes, and everyone was accounted for at the campground.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Former Gov. Howard Dean, D-Vt., said Republicans are behaving like the Muslim Brotherhood on social issues.
"The Republicans on the Right are making the same mistakes as the Islamic Brotherhood made in Egypt," Dean said in an MSNBC interview.
"They get in and they only focus on social issues, they don't do anything about jobs," he said.
Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's strict views on social issues were the reason why he was ousted from power by the Egyptian military, according to Dean.
"The reason that Morsi went down ultimately was because the public wanted jobs and all he was talking about was repression for religious reasons; all these guys are talking about is repression for whatever their reason is," Dean said.
Dean made his comments during a discussion with Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell about the Virginia gubernatorial election results.
"I'm going to get a lot of hate-tweets for saying this," Dean said.
Dean said Republicans failed to deliver on promised jobs and only focused on social issues, which was the reason that Republican Ken Cuccinelli lost the gubernatorial election.
"In fact, things get worse under Republicans historically, economically then they do under Democrats and that's a fact," Dean said.
Nobody on the show challenged him to provide facts for his assertion. But Dean is mistaken on Republicans and jobs, especially with Virginia's outgoing chief executive, Gov. Bob McDonnell.
Under McDonnell, Virginia unemployment rates have been as low as 5.2 percent – down from 7.4 percent when he took office in January 2010.
According to a Republican Governors Association poll released in October, McDonnell enjoys a 60 percent job approval rating, with 55 percent of independent voters endorsing his job performance even though he signed bills that restricted abortion.
McDonnell's administration has also seen a federal investigation of the governor's relationship with a donor, including gifts he accepted from the individual.

When stress takes hold of your life, you may find it hard to shake the resulting anxiety. It may manifest as persistent worry or a tension that won't leave your muscles. What is generalized anxiety disorder? How does stress or anxiety affect sleep? How might it contribute to insomnia? Learn about the relationship between stress, anxiety, and difficulties sleeping.

What Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

No matter your station in life, stress is common. It may lead to worries that won't go away. If these problems overwhelm your ability to cope, it may be hard to function during the day and impossible to sleep at night. What are the symptoms of generalized anxiety?

Although 18% of people complain of anxiety in a given year, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is less common (estimated to occur in 3% of people). It affects twice as many women as compared to men. GAD is defined a chronic, excessive, and pervasive anxiety or worry that lasts for at least 6 months. It is present more days than not. In addition, the anxiety that characterizes the condition affects numerous aspects of life, including work or school as well as other activities. This anxiety is difficult to control. There are often other symptoms associated with GAD, including:

Restlessness or feeling "on edge"

Easy fatigue

Poor concentration

Irritability

Muscle tension

Insomnia or restless sleep

GAD is a chronic condition and it rarely completely remits on its own. It often has a waxing and waning nature, with times that it may be better or worse. It often coexists with depression. GAD has important effects on sleep.

Stress, Anxiety, and Resulting Insomnia

The anxiety that characterizes GAD often interferes with the ability to sleep and leads to insomnia. This is not unexpected. Anxiety might be viewed as an inappropriate escalation of a response called arousal. It is believed that arousal evolved to keep us alert to threats, so that we can respond appropriately and protect ourselves. It is helpful to be nervous when hungry lions are on the prowl. However, when this system inappropriately goes into overdrive, there are negative consequences.

Sleep disturbance is one of the key problems that may develop, impacting 56-75% of people with GAD. Imagine arousal as a bell being rung. It draws your attention, makes you sit up and take note. It also grates on your nerves a little. When the bell keeps ringing through the night, it is hard to sleep. This may result in trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleep that is simply not refreshing. These are collectively called insomnia.

The worries that lead to increased anxiety and tension may come to the forefront when lying down to sleep at night. Once the distractions of the day are pushed away, ruminations about your career, finances, or relationships may come to the surface. Difficulty falling asleep may unleash its own set of worries about the impacts on function the following day. Sleep deprivation may lead to other problems that often characterize GAD, including difficulties with concentration and mood.

When the sleep of people with GAD is studied, there are certain findings that are observed that fit with a diagnosis of insomnia. A formal diagnostic study, called a polysomnogram, will show increased sleep latency (the time it takes to fall asleep) and more wakefulness after sleep onset. The total amount of sleep is reduced. Those with GAD may have early morning awakenings, a symptom that often occurs in depression (which also shows a quicker onset of REM sleep).

Treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder

The treatment options for generalized anxiety disorder are similar to those used in other anxiety disorders. The approach typically combines the use of medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relaxation techniques. As GAD is often a chronic condition, it may involve a prolonged treatment over many years.

Benzodiazepines are the most commonly used medications to relieve anxiety. In particular, alprazolam and clonazepam are often prescribed. Though these medications are not recommended for the long-term treatment of insomnia, they can be helpful chronically to relieve anxiety. In addition, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like venlafaxine are used.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is highly effective to manage GAD. This therapy is often administered by specially trained psychologists or psychiatrists. It is a preferred treatment in the elderly who may suffer from adverse side effects from benzodiazepine medications, including the risk of harmful falls.

For those who suffer from uncontrolled anxiety and worry, especially if this results in insomnia, start by speaking with your primary care physician who may recommend a referral to a psychiatrist.

Hi. I bought a renault clio biarritz 1997 for my son lately and he bought an alba cd player to use in it. I have a limited knowledge of electrics but here goes. From the back of the cd player is a constant live/ switch live / negative and power ariel (which he doesnt have). From the car is a black and green/red/yellow and grey and a yellow and grey and yellow and green twisted together. I believe the wiring should be black and green to black, (negative) yellow and grey to red (switch live) red to yellow (constant live) and nothing to power ariel. This leaves the yellow and grey and yellow and green wires surplus. I have fitted as described but when I turn player on it comes on goes to aux and then swithches itself off. I have put tester or red and it shows 12v constant but no reading coming from yellow and grey (switched live while car off or even when I turn ignition on). No readings from surplus wires. Seems like no feed coming from switched live but would like to know if this is correct and what to do if its not. KIDS! Should have bought him a ped lol. Thanks Geoff
have the same problem?

Odessa man is 17th person to die on roads in Midland County this year
Published 4:42 am, Thursday, May 15, 2014
The man who died in a one-vehicle crash Wednesday night has been identified as Miguel Angel Vallejo, 19, of Odessa, according to a press release from the city's public information officer.
Midland police officers and emergency personnel responded to the crash at about 9:35 p.m. Wednesday on Business 20 near the Loop 250 exit.
Investigators found that Vallejo had been traveling eastbound on Business Interstate 20 when he lost control of the vehicle, veered to the north across an unprotected median and two westbound lanes, before striking a traffic signal pole near the west service road of Loop 250, according to the release. Witnesses told police that the driver was traveling at a high rate of speed.
Vallejo, who was ejected, died at the scene. His vehicle was split in half, and some pieces of debris damaged a car stopped at a nearby light, according to a previous Reporter-Telegram report.
Vallejo is the 17th person to die this year on roads in Midland County, according to Reporter-Telegram reports.

A graduate student at the UA's Steward Observatory has discovered a planet that orbits its host star at a distance that defies accepted notions of planetary formation.
In April of this year, Vanessa Bailey, a doctoral candidate with the University of Arizona Department of Astronomy, discovered a hot, giant gas ball about the diameter of Jupiter and 11 times its mass.
It is 20 times farther from its host star than Neptune is from our sun.
Its location was so unexpected that the first time she found it in her data, "We all said that can't be a planet."
Bailey consulted previous imaging of that same star and found a Hubble Space Telescope record of it. It had not been recognized as a planet at the time.
Bailey was observing on the 6.5-meter Clay Magellan Telescope in Chile that had just been outfitted with an adaptive optics system to counter the blurring effect of Earth's atmosphere. It provided images as clear as those taken from space.
Laird Close, principal investigator for the adaptive optics system, nicknamed Mag-AO, said Bailey was given time on the telescope as a reward for her help in commissioning one of the two cameras employed in the system.
"Normally you discover nothing on a commissioning run, but she wanted to observe this one star that she thought had a planet around it," Close said.
The star was nowhere near to where Bailey thought it would be. She had selected the star because it had a disk of dust around it with gaps that might indicate the presence of a planet.
Instead she found a planet far from the dust disk in an orbit that will probably take it 10,000 Earth years to circle its host. It was a fairly new planet, 13 million years old, and still radiating heat from its formation.
That made it easily visible to Clio, the infrared camera she was helping to commission.
"Nobody has ever found any planet orbiting this distantly from a sunlike star," Bailey said.
She said her planet, named HD 106906, is one of "a growing population of these weird oddball objects" that are challenging accepted notions of how planets form from debris disks of dust and gas surrounding new stars.
This planet is too far away to fit that model, said Bailey.
Bailey said she was able to convince the team, using Hubble evidence, that the planet was worth a second look and was given another turn at the telescope on the last night of its commissioning operations.
"That is why I came to Arizona for grad school," she said. "We have some of the world's very best facilities and they let grad students play around with them."

The new railroad bridge over the Osage River west of here is a significant infrastructure improvement. It officially was opened this past week. There now are two Union Pacific Railroad tracks on the eastern section of the St. Louis to Kansas City corridor, which is 275 miles in length.
Before the second bridge was built, train traffic had to be delayed when the tracks narrowed to one lane at the Osage River. The second bridge will improve on-time performance of both freight and passenger trains. There will be more efficient movement of goods along the corridor.
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) received a multimillion dollar award under the federal Recovery Act, which funded most of the $28 million project. The rest of the cost was paid by Union Pacific Railroad. The project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget.
It's good news anytime a bottleneck is removed. There now are two main tracks between St. Louis and Jefferson City.

The "Naked Writer Project" is now finished.
To all dear readers and those who helped with feedback, comments and suggestions, and to the AMT members at the conference, thank you for your participation!
From Silvia Hartmann:
November 11th at 4pm, I typed "The End" under the document at the AMT Conference in front of about 150 people in the room. That was a fantastic experience, so a big THANK YOU to the conference delegates for playing along and putting such a memorable ending to what was an amazing and crazy project all the way through.
I am now going to go through the manuscript to pick up spelling mistakes and missing words before passing it over for type setting and print.
There will be no re-writing and as far as I can tell, the metaphors are all in order, the timelines sound and the personae who they are all the way through.
The finished book will be available as an ebook on all platforms and hard copy as well and can be pre-ordered now.
I'm guessing this document will be taken off line within the next few days as I am going to now work on the local copy for type setting.
THANK YOU for being a part of the project and I hope you enjoyed it,
Best wishes,
Silvia Hartmann

I can't imagine my life without traveling. It has been part of my life since I was a little kid. There is so much to see out there, so much to experience!
The idea for creating a travel quilt came to me one night while I was flipping through a guide book for a trip. I thought wouldn't it be nice to make quilt with the signs that we see at the airports, stations, national parks etc during our travel.
Ride The Bus is the first quilt pattern in the series, available from my Craftsy and Etsy stores. More to come very soon!

Whether Euthanasia Can Ever Be Ethical
Euthanasia is basically a legal term that refers to a medically aided mercy killing. It will be recognized that in most countries euthanasia is assumed to be illegal. This raises two basic questions of whether euthanasia is unethical or ethical. In order to answer the two broad questions we need to understand the types of euthanasia. The first type of euthanasia is the patient's voluntary decision. This occurs when the patient inquires the doctor to terminate his or her life as soon as the patient suffers dearly. In this type of euthanasia the patient is assumed to loose the hope for a civilized quality life and recovery and further wishes to transfer the psychological and financial burden to his or her family (Keown, 2002).
The issues associated with this type of euthanasia extend to include questionable mental competency and the social pressure which extensively affects the decision of the patient. It generally agreed that if a patient is proved to be mentally competent then the government should not disagree or question the euthanasia decision of the person. Several religions do not accept suicide and nearly everyone considers euthanasia as a type of suicide. The other type of euthanasia is the involuntary decision by the patient's family and friends where they plan to terminate his or her life and is commonly regarded as euthanasia with no patient's consent. It will be realized that this type of euthanasia is extremely complicated as the family members or friends may fail to agree on ending the life of the patient. Euthanasia is termed to be illegal to many countries and there seems to be no laws and policies explaining the party responsible for the final euthanasia decision. Based on the above definitions, euthanasia can never be ethical.
It will be realized that the central ethical and legal issue that revolves around euthanasia is concerned with the ownership of life. It extends to address whether human beings can control and own their lives and if they have the right to take it away under any conditions. According to the religion, it is generally accepted that life belongs to God therefore He is the one who gives and takes it away. This implies that no human being who can actually give or take away life. It will be noted that those who tried to control human life particularly in the Qur'an were severely condemned (Phil, n.d.). The death moment is usually under the control of God and thus no human being has a say on this issue. No one should try to delay or hasten the death of another person. The prohibition of life essentially applies uniformly whether for genocide, homicide or suicide. The concept of individual choice and freedom does not actually apply in this perspective for the reason that life doesn't belong to human beings and that taking life away generally causes harm both to the society and family. This clearly implies that the freedom of choice vested on the people is basically constrained by the harm that it truly passes to others.
Studies reveal that extend to which many patients have the right to discontinue or refuse treatment has become a disputed question allover the world. It will be documented that patients who have legal competence should make final decisions regarding their nutritional support and medical treatment. It is required that the patients should be fed according to their wishes and only forced when there arises an instantaneous threat to life. The legal competence conditions extend to include mind soundness, adulthood, freedom from compulsion or duress and a comprehensive understanding regarding the legal and medical issues involved. Based on the definition of death then euthanasia can be termed as being not ethical (Jecker, Jonsen & Pearlman, 2007). According to the traditional definition, death is meant to refer to cardio-respiratory arrest. Death can also be defined as higher brain or whole brain death. It is agreed that if the patient happens to have a higher brain death then the life support should be withdrawn on the fact that he or she is dead (Kasule, n.d.). In regard to the traditional definition of death life support can not be removed at any stage of the patient's illness.
Although euthanasia is assumed to be the most loving and kindest thing since the patient's desire is respected and that people are fairly entitled to a dignified and pain free death, arguments against euthanasia hit the whole atmosphere. Killing in all conditions is presumed to be wrong and that God gave us a gift of life and we don't have the right to take it away. Euthanasia also faces both secular and religious objections. Religious opponents disagree for the reason that they consider that God is the only one with the right to consider when a person should die. Secular opponents on the other hand argue that rights are subject to our obligations. We must put into account our obligations towards the society and therefore balance our rights to die as individuals against the consequences directed to the society as whole.
Right to life clearly entitles a person to maximally enjoy the right of not to be killed in case they are not willing. The people in favor of euthanasia will automatically claim that this right is basically meant to prevent the misuse of euthanasia because when a doctor takes life of a patient who is not willing to die violates the rights of the patient (BBC – Ethics). This undoubtedly implies that euthanasia is unethical as it infringes the right to life and should be banned. In conclusion, euthanasia is never ethical and doctors have no right to interfere with the death of the patient as it is fixed by God and therefore disease should be allowed to take its natural route until death. Patients should therefore continue to obtain life support such as provision of good nutrition and medical care and an establishment of public policy regarding life support is very crucial. The policy should be administered clearly and applied to all patients with no regard to race, gender, diagnosis or age.

Officials get funding to fight base closings
COLUMBIA -Local governments will receive about $200,000 in state funds to fight potential base closings in South Carolina.
The federal government plans to announce a new round of military cuts in 2005.
The cities of Beaufort, Columbia and Sumter and Charleston County will receive $50,000 each to protect installations through studies or public relations efforts. The General Assembly appropriated the money for fiscal year 2003-04.
House OKs spending on Medicaid, schools
COLUMBIA -The House agreed Wednesday with Senate plans to spend new federal money on Medicaid and public schools.
The money is part of a tax relief package that President Bush signed Wednesday. It allows the state to put $212 million into Medicaid programs and $20 million more into public schools.
The House killed a budget proposal that would raise the state sales tax by a half-cent on the dollar. Rep. Joel Lourie, D-Columbia, said it would generate $271 million, enough to lift per-pupil spending $2,200 and head off projected layoffs of more than 6,000 teachers.
Passenger dies after crash in police chase
COLUMBIA -A Columbia woman who was a passenger in a car that was struck by a man fleeing police has died.
Beverly A. Meyers, 50, died at Palmetto Health Richland hospital Tuesday night, Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said. Ms. Meyers apparently suffered cardiac arrest after the crash, said George Rice, a spokesman for Richland County Emergency Services.
The man whose car hit the women's car fled, Columbia Police Lt. Thomas Dodson said. Forest Acres police had chased the man earlier after he tried to pass some bad checks at a grocery store, Lt. Dodson said. Forest Acres police had ended the chase before the crash, he said.
Prisoner escapes from exercise yard
WALHALLA -A former Seneca man jailed last month on larceny, arson and burglary charges escaped Tuesday after climbing out of an exercise yard at the Oconee County Detention Center.
Daniel Devin Roberts, 29, also was wanted for burglary in Georgia.
The jail's director, Maj. Steve Pruitt, said a state trusty saw Mr. Roberts climb over the top of a brick structure and jump to the ground.

Rhode Island has officially taken ownership of all assets formerly held by 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, and are looking to sell those off to recover as much money for the state's taxpayers as they can. Will another developer or publisher swoop in to snap up the Amalur IP?
This is, at any rate, the final curtain to fall for Curt Schilling's gaming empire. Perhaps coincidentally, the surprise he had previously been keeping under his hat (so to speak) also leaked this week: Project Copernicus was supposed to be a free-to-play title, and also a AAA MMORPG:
"We were going to be the first triple-A, hundred-million-dollar-plus, free-to-play, micro-transaction-based MMO. That was one of our big secrets," Schilling told me. "I think when we eventually showed off the game for the first time, the atom bomb was going to be free-to-play. When we announced that at the end, that was gonna be the thing that, I think, shocked the world."
…"NO ONE was expecting it, and it was another thing that changed the tenor of conversations with investors late in the game." When I asked how exactly the tenor changed, he replied, "Most investors wanted NOTHING to do with subscription-based products, they were all on the social media, and free-to-play games as a means to revenue."
Some good came out of the mess, however; the portion of Big Huge Games that was acquired by Epic Games a few months ago has officially been re-branded Impossible Studios, and set to work on the next Infinity Blade title. Am I the only one intrigued by the prospect of an Infinity Blade title with Reckoning-grade combat?
From the team at Almost Human come news of additions to the Legend of Grimrock team and the opening of a CafePress store. The dungeon editor is also "progressing well".
There was a major staff shakeup at Irrational Games recently, which cast doubts on the future of BioShock Infinite. The game's multiplayer mode was cancelled, and Ken Levine went on the record to say that he had no intent of preventing people from leaving Irrational, if they chose to do so.
However, not all is doom and gloom; Rod Fergusson of Epic Games signed on with Irrational last week, specifically to fill the production gap left by the departure of Tim Gerritsen.
Also: BioShock's environments look amazing when rendered in CryEngine 3. And, for that matter, the first level of System Shock 2 looks pretty good when rendered in the Source engine, dated though it is.
Travis Baldree has posted another "Not a Blog" on the Runic Games forums, giving more details (as usual) about progress that has been made on Torchlight 2. And Dan Vavra of Warhorse sat down with games.on.net to discuss why making a real-world "historical RPG" is actually very difficult.
And last but not least, Warren Spector decided to call out (among others) John Carmack and Tim Sweeney over the issue of violence and realism in games today:
Deus Ex and Epic Mickey maker Warren Spector has thrown down the gauntlet. He wants superstar programmers John Carmack and Tim Sweeney to stop fascinating on rendering believable objects and to start fascinating on creating believable minds, AI, and to start simulating life.
"I've been actively trying to shame some of my fellow developers, specifically John Carmack and Tim Sweeney," Spector declared. "Can you imagine what games would look like if those two guys spent as much time working on non-combat AI as they do on rendering? Can you imagine what games we would have if John Carmack decided he wanted to create a believable character as opposed to a believable gun?
"I mean, oh my god! Those guys are way smarter than I am. I don't know how to solve the problem, but they could figure it out.
"Stop rendering!" he ordered. "Start creating humans or mice. I don't care which."
I think I speak for everyone here when I say: "good luck with that!"
Don't get me wrong, it's a laudable goal. But is it really something that the creators and producers of Gears of War and Rage are really going to be much concerned with any time in the future? Odds…are not good.

Battalion Chief Darrin Daniels has seen amputations, eye injuries, burns, and scars while working on the Fourth of July. He's hoping this year will be different.
The start of his day was pretty quiet. He went to two house alarms set off from cooking. Neither resulted in a fire.
He says most of the calls will come in the evening. He expects 4-10 more calls before he ends his shift Saturday morning.
Later calls do give him and other firefighters some relief from the heat.
It's not easy carrying 90 pounds worth of gear and equipment during calls when the thermometer soars above 70-degrees.
When firefighters at the Shawnee Heights Fire District receive a call, they'll be fully geared and driving to the scene in under three minutes. The truck can be anywhere in their district between 11-13 minutes.
His department has only one full time officer. They have 40 on-call firefighters.
He hopes that he wont need their help on the Fourth.
