The Philadelphia 76ers give up a lot to draft Markelle Fultz first overall in this year's draft, but so far he's been almost invisible playing in the shadow of last year's first overall pick Ben Simmons who, by the way, is still a rookie. In three games off the bench it would be hard to describe Fultz's play as as anything more than uninspiring begging the question, how much longer can he hide behind Simmons' success in a city that isn't exactly known for being patient or understanding?
"Surprisingly you could be right and it's hard to say that in our city. There's not much forgiveness or wiggle-room (in Philly) and I say that with affection," said 76ers head coach Brett Brown about Fultz ahead of his team's blowout loss in Toronto. "Last night Markelle steps to the free throw line and makes two free throws and the fans recognize him, reward him. I think Markelle's growth might not be as under the microscope perhaps if he didn't have some of these other things with Joel (Embiid) and Ben (Simmons) especially, but we all pay attention and I think that he's handled it with a certain amount of grace. Like he doesn't get too rattled, he's a gamer. He's aware of all the things and we are trying to get his shoulder right with the shot and all that, but we've seen some good things with him getting to the rim and making plays. We can see why he was the first player chosen."
As of now, from the outside looking in, it really isn't all that easy to see why Fultz was chosen first, but that's after a very small sample size.
In three games coming off the bench, playing against other teams' second and dare it be mentioned, third string, Fultz hasn't shone. He's averaging 7.3 points on 34.8 percent shooting, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in just under 20 minutes per game and he's struggled where he was expected to do well.
In Toronto against the second string his offense was stifled and the Raptors ran up the score, but in fairness fans should be able to live with that from a rookie for a while.
However, what happened when he was facing the Raptors undrafted diminutive second year point guard Fred VanVleet who played most of last season in the D-League isn't so easy to look past. In 11 minutes, a lot of it in garbage time with Toronto's third string unit on the court, Fultz shot 0-2, was blocked once, had just a single rebound and a single assist matched up against his very unheralded counterpart. The Raptors like VanVleet, but watching him hold this year's first overall pick to a -1 head-to-head is a little more than they have any right to expect.
Once again Fultz wasn't the story on this night as Simmons absorbed all of the available sunlight in a 34 point beat down in his team's third straight loss by putting up 18 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. But how much longer can he hide behind Simmons positive vibe?
Keith Pompey of The Inquirer suggests Philly fans are ready to start panicking and he blames things on a sore shoulder affecting Fultz's ability to shoot the three-ball.
Right now, the injury is taking on a life of its own. One that has a portion of Sixers fans panicking and second-guessing the team's decision to trade up two spots to select him first overall in June's NBA draft.
"It's not to the point where it's affecting other parts of his game," coach Brett Brown said.
"It's not an excuse for me," Fultz said of the new (free throw) release. "I just go out there and do what I got to do."
Free throws and jump shots should be the least of his worries. Maybe the concern about the 76ers guard should be about getting blocked six times in three games this year. This rookie has a lot to learn before he'll look like the future star he was projected to be at the draft.
The theme from the 76ers in Toronto was they were looking forward to an easier opponent in Detroit on Monday night after facing the Wizards, Celtics and Raptors in their first three games. (Who was the idiot that thought a team as young as the 76ers would be in fourth place at the end of the season?)

Philly judge has robe stolen while in men's roomMy Way News -
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A sticky-fingered person might be wandering the streets of Philadelphia in a flowing judicial robe.
A municipal judge on Wednesday said he had his official garb taken from the robing room at the city courthouse while he was in the men's room. Judge Joseph Waters Jr. says he had left the door of the room unlocked.
The Philadelphia Daily News reports that an email was sent out to judges and courthouse staff asking people to keep an eye out for the missing garment.
Waters is a former police captain who was appointed to finish out another judge's term in 2009. He won election later that year.

With Zach Fucale's strong play against Team USA on Tuesday, minds are turning back to how close he came to being part of the Edmonton Oilers organization in the draft last summer. Crying over spilled milk is always a little silly, but if it deserves to be done over goalies nearly acquired last summer Fucale shouldn't be the focus.
Antti Raanta should be.
There are lots of problems with drafting goalies, especially early.
For one, goaltender development is unpredictable and the scouts don't do nearly as good a job in net as they do elsewhere. There are tons of examples.
2010 11th overall pick Jack Campbell did a lot more at the World Juniors than Fucale has. He has plenty of time but he flopped in the OHL and 58 games into his professional career he's been an awfully middling AHL goalie. Draft a goalie early and you're as like to get Rick DiPietro or Al Montoya or Brian Finley as Roberto Luongo or Carey Price or even Marc-Andre Fleury.
Another problem is the timeline. Jonathan Bernier was an early pick and turned out well but he was drafted in 2006 and is finally getting a starting gig only now – and the team that drafted him didn't exactly get a King's ransom in trade. Devan Dubnyk, drafted 14th overall in 2004, took years to get to the majors and still isn't an established starter; ditto for 26th overall pick Cory Schneider (though the latter should be).
Draft a goalie early and maybe, five years down the road, he'll be something useful. Maybe he'll even be useful for the team that drafted him. Bernier's a good example of a case where everything went right with the guy who was supposed to be a franchise goalie – but it didn't matter because a third-round pick nobody believed in came in and locked up the starting gig before Bernier even had a chance to fight for it (and now that same third round pick is injured and not being missed because two guys who were never even drafted are playing better than he has all year).
Fucale's still an unknown quantity years away from mattering to the team that drafted him. He's a nice guy to have in the system and maybe someday the Oilers will regret not drafting him but if they do it won't be for years and there's a decent chance they never miss him. He would probably have been a fine pick at 37th overall if he had landed there, but it's really not a big deal.
But there's absolutely nothing wrong with grabbing a free agent European goalie for nothing but money, and reportedly the Oilers came pretty close to doing so with Antti Raanta, before he understandably chose to sign with Chicago instead.
Raanta was always way closer to being a sure thing than a guy like Fucale. Raanta was the best goalie, the regular season MVP and the playoff MVP in a top professional league a year ago. When we compared him in the summer to former top goalies in the Finnish league, he was behind only Tim Thomas in save percentage and ahead of guys like Niklas Backstrom and Tomas Vokoun. That's an awfully good track record.
He's come to North America, done a quick stint in the minors and in his first season on a new continent and since then stepped into the Blackhawks' net and provided the team with the best goaltending it's seen all season. Better goaltending than the club was getting from $6 million man Corey Crawford.
He's a guy playing well in the NHL today, not a guy who might play well in the NHL five years from now if everything breaks right. The Oilers doubtless went after him as hard as they could, and it was the right idea.
More Generally
Young goalies are hard to predict and the expected payoff is years down the road. That's why the best approach to drafting them isn't to grab them high. It's to take them in quantity, snagging one every year or so and hoping to hit big with a low-risk gamble. It didn't pay off with guys like Olivier Roy and Tyler Bunz, but the Islanders, Stars and Coyotes haven't done a lot better with guys like Mikko Koskinen, Jack Campbell and Mark Visentin.
Another item is that the league is full of guys who were great in Europe or in college or even in junior who never cost a draft pick. Martin Jones and Ben Scrivens lead the league in save percentage; neither was drafted. Ditto for Antti Niemi and Jonas Hiller and plenty of others.
The final thing is that it's generally pretty easy to land goalies in trade or via free agency. It isn't like that at other positions; centres and defencemen and even wingers cost a ton of money or a pile of assets. Goalies don't generally. A guy like Bernier goes for a pretty middling package, as does a guy like Jaroslav Halak. Dwayne Roloson cost Edmonton a high pick at the deadline; Tommy Salo years earlier didn't cost even that much. When the Oilers ran into goalie problems earlier this year they were able to grab Ilya Bryzgalov for cash and could have snagged a guy like Jose Theodore too if they had wanted.
The Oilers last used high picks on Devan Dubnyk in 2004 and Jeff Deslauriers in 2002. They've been sharp enough to avoid it since then. It's one of the few things the organization has done right over the last decade.

Since those files are already set up by the distrution, there is no need to then put extra stuff into some obscure gui file, especially since they are also run from console bootup sessions. The /etc/init.d/ntpd file is the one taht starts up ntpd. That is where I would look first for any weird ntp config file. Then if it is not obvious there, look to see if there is some sourceing of other files and look in there. service runs those files.

He said redhat however which does have /etc/init.d/ as the startup files. Obviously Windows does not.

Separated parent trouble
re... : Separated parent trouble
27/05/2009 15:05 - Behaviour / Discipline
I understand totally how you feel. When one of our children is feeling hurt or pain, we feel it just as much if not more! Sometimes the mix in the school just doesn´t suit a child and they cannot make friends. I think that the best approach in this situation is to make sure that you help your child to build up confidence and to learn how to mix with other children. Can you get her involved in a local club, classes, summer camps etc? She will get a chance to meet with other children her age and hopefully make friends. Making friends and attending activities will also increase her confidence and also, teach her how to be in a friendship(s). She will learn how to compromise etc., and that will be of huge benefit when she goes back to school in September.
With regard to moving her - if the secondary school she will attend in 2010 will be a mix of schools and not just people from the school she is in now, I would hold off. When children start secondary, my experience is that they make a new group of friends so this move may be enough to break the cycle.
Spend as much time as you can with her shopping, chatting, cooking together and so on and this will also help her confidence and deepen the relationship between you both which will be of great benefit when she goes into secondary and the teenage years.

It is very difficult to give a clear yes or no to this idea because you know your child better than anyone else- you didn´t say if the class teacher/ principal were very receptive and tried to help or not. Generally, I think dealing with it without her moving would be best but really, if you think it can´t be resolved I suppose moving might be the answer. I always feel sorry for kids not living at home though - would there be any other day school she could go to- then she could still come home to you in the evening.

Can anyone offer any advice for me. I am at my wits end and dont know what to do. Our 11 year old daughter has been having ongoing difficiulties in her primary school that she has attended since junior infants. She is an only child and has a strong personality and doesnt seem to click with any people in her small school. Everyday she comes home complaining about one child or another and this has gone on for the past few years on and off. I have tried talking to her and going in to the school, but its not really a bulling problem just a case of she doesnt seem to have any friends. Its very upsetting as her mom to listen to this. However I thought I may have a solution in that there is a boarding priamary school about 2 hours drive away and she would be home every weekend. I thought this would be a nice new start for her as it would be in September and she would only be doing 6th class there and help with her study and sports etc, the big problem is her Dad is not having any of it. We cannot agree on this and it is causing major friction, he feels that she would be runing away from her problems and said to me it was like me running away from our marriage.I am so upset by all this as she is with me during the week and him weekends so its me she mostly says it to. I am trying to be as open and honest with her, but what can I do? We just cant agree

Duran Duran are an English rock band, formed in Birmingham in 1978.
They were one of the most successful bands of the 1980s and a leading band in the MTV-driven "Second British Invasion" of the United States.
Since the 1980s, they have placed 14 singles in the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart and 21 in the Billboard Hot 100 and have, according to the Sunday Mercury, sold more than 100 million records.
While they were generally considered part of the New Romantic scene along with bands such as Spandau Ballet when they first emerged, they later shed this image.
The band worked with fashion designers to build a sharp and elegant image that earned them the nickname "the prettiest boys in rock."
Edited: from Wikipedia.
Dire Straits were a British rock band, formed in 1977 by former journalist and teacher Mark Knopfler, initially composed of Knopfler (lead vocals and lead guitar), his younger brother David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and backing vocals), John Illsley (bass guitar and backing vocals), and Pick Withers (drums and percussion).
Dire Straits' sound drew from a variety of musical influences, including jazz, folk, blues, and came closest to beat music within the context of rock and roll.
Despite the prominence of punk rock during the band's early years, the band's stripped-down sound contrasted with punk, demonstrating a more "rootsy" influence that emerged out of pub rock. Many of Dire Straits' compositions were melancholic.
Edited: from Wikipedia.
Sultans of Swing has one of the best riffs ever... can't imagine oldies missing out on that.
I remember Stevie Loraine when I was at Changi in the mid-1960s and remember her with great affection.
I played pathetic bass for one night only in 1964 with an RAF band called The Desperadoes at Fairey Point officers' club.
The other members of the band were Alan Fish on lead guitar, Colin Fish on rhythm guitar, and Bruce Sorley on drums.
Alan Fish now has his own band called Egypt and plays in East Anglia regularly with them. He also played in The Groundhogs some years back. He plays bass rather than lead these days.
Best wishes,
Allan Thompson,
Thank you Allan for your contribution. It will be a great help to many of us who are searching for data about local 60s music.

In March of 1892, thirteen members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, concerned for the welfare of Dover's neglected, abused, and unwanted children, collectively pledged to be responsible for the rent and other expenses of a home for needy children. The women rented half of a duplex on Atkinson Street and accepted 13 children for admission. One year later, on May 10, 1893, Dover Children's Home was incorporated. The Home, which had grown to 28 children, moved to a larger house at 11 Spring Street in 1894. In 1897, the Dover Children's Home Society decided to purchase land and build a new house at 207 Locust Street. On October 9, 1897, the Society laid the cornerstone of the building. The Home was completed and furnished in 1898 and 38 children immediately moved into the new building. A generous bequest in 1916 added land to the original property. Additions to the Home in the early 1920s and in 1962 greatly increased the Home's size. Several renovations have helped maintain the structure.
Dover Children's Home was organized to ease the plight of children and families who suffered due to the recessions of the 1890s and has continued to serve the needs of under-privileged children for more than 125 years. During the depression of the 1920s, more than 60 children resided in the Home. In 1939, the state of New Hampshire requested that the Home limit it number of children to 50. This number was subsequently cut to 45 after World War II. Over the years, the Home transformed further to providing intermediate-level residential care, case management, and therapeutic services to up to 19 vulnerable youth ages 10 – 20.

Some people might think twice about following in the footsteps of a beloved employee who retired after 35 years.That's not the case with our new chaplain, Rev. Dianne Horton. A committee of nurses, physicians and clergy chose Dianne to succeed Rev. Lee Dukes and she has jumped on board with great enthusiasm.Dianne says following in Lee's footsteps won't be easy because he accomplished so much during his tenure as our first chaplain. For example, he started the Employee Assistance Program and directed departments such as Social Services, Patient Relations and Volunteer Services over the years."But the bottom line for me is I'm here to care for people—the staff, patients and their families," Dianne says. "It's why I like being a chaplain. I get to do what I love to do."Dianne came to us from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. She was chaplain of Transitional and Supportive Care Services, offering spiritual guidance to those often at the end of a health journey. Her specific chaplaincy interests are in adult behavioral health, palliative care and emergency care.In addition to her work within the walls of Lexington Medical Center, Dianne has high hopes for inspiring inclusion and collaboration among congregations in Davidson County. She is working closely with FaithHealth Connectors June Britt and Sue Epley to engage churches and congregational volunteers. The FaithHealth program brings congregations and volunteers together to assist people in need before, during and after a hospital stay."I see the work of FaithHealth as a way to have a bridge, to come together to collaborate," Dianne says.Dianne didn't pursue ministry until her two children were well along in school. A native of Augusta, Ga., Dianne moved to Winston-Salem with her husband, George, in 1988 when he was relocated for his job in retail sales management. Several years later, while running her own day care business, she decided to obtain a college degree.She started at Forsyth Technical Community College and completed her bachelor's degree at Salem College. She was accepted into Wake Forest University School of Divinity, graduating in 2010, and performed her Clinical Pastoral Education training at Wake Forest Baptist.She says chaplaincy brings together two important worlds: faith and health."Often in spiritual settings, we'll talk about being whole. Your health is a part of that wholeness, right along with your faith," Dianne says. "To me, a hospital is a place that's extending a good hand of faith.""If the hospital is providing preventive care and screenings and keeping you well, that's a total benefit all the way around. It's what the hospital is there for. And it should work hand in hand with what the church is about—keeping you well."Please join me in welcoming Dianne to Lexington Medical Center. She has a great outlook on being a chaplain, as well as a new faith leader in our community. Bill JamesPresident

About this Research Topic
Reductionism historically forms the basis of science, although we now know that the whole of a scientific theory is almost never simply the sum of its parts. This particularly holds true for neuroscience, where the focus of research has shifted from localization of function to connectivity and network based thinking during recent decades. The brain is a network, combining local specialization with global segregation, and has a hierarchically modular structure. Brain functioning is probably mainly regulated by parts of the network that are most connected with the rest of the brain, so-called 'hubs'.
An extensive body of current research aims at describing the healthy brain network (if such a unified concept exists) and network differences between healthy and diseased brains. However, it is impossible to understand brain functioning without also taking network dynamics into account. Development of network connectivity is a subject of study, but research has been limited to cross-sectional cohorts, while longitudinal efforts have rarely been made. Furthermore, damage to (brain) networks has a profound effect on connectivity patterns and behavioral correlates. Determining the effect of damage on the instantaneous topology of a network, but also taking more long-term plasticity and dynamics into account, will aid in understanding the behavioral effects of lesions and brain disease and may also direct us towards more tailored treatment strategies for patients inflicted.
We call for authors to submit research manuscripts relating to the effect of lesions or other types of manipulation or intervention on (brain) connectivity and network topology. Also, we hope to elaborate on the effect of time-scale on changes in network topology, by for instance having long-term follow-up of network functioning after initial damage or intervention. In order to gather a full overview of the field, we encourage both computational studies, in vitro work, as well as patient studies to submit. All modalities of neuronal network investigations are welcome, including fMRI, DTI, EEG, and MEG.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.

Viewlynn Playground and Spray Park
Though many people name Mahon Park when they talk about North Vancouver spray parks, Viewlynn Park is often the favourite for families who have tried several water parks.The spray elements are not as aggressive, and there are great areas for families to set up blankets close by in shady areas under the trees. The playground, though older, has a lot of options for kids of all ages.
Oddly enough, it's the unexpected areas of Viewlynn Park that attract the kids. This decorative garden area is always a fort for several kids. The water fountain also makes for a fun play area for kids who don't want to be sprayed with water, but who still want to play in the water. My kids also spend time running around in the forested areas, which is rare to find in a City park these days.
Though it doesn't look like much, I think your kids will find this a great park for a sunny afternoon!
4 comments for Viewlynn Playground and Spray Park
[…] Viewlynn Park is the community favourite as far as spray parks go. With less older kids taking over the show, and fewer moving spray options, kids of all ages can get in and splash while there are plenty of shaded areas for parents to set up blankets. Read my review of Viewlynn Park here. […]
Every doctor recommends at least one hour per day with the child in a park or taking a walk. Fresh air is vital to the little ones. crema psoriazis
Dear Active Mama:
I can't tell from this post where Viewlynn Park is….can you tell me?
It's in Lynn Valley. If you click the link of the park name, it takes you to more street information http://www.dnv.org/upload/documents/parks/park_de…

Optimization of the data center with 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Data center networking has taken advantage of 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Optimize your interconnection equipment and prevent latency with more efficient LAN technology.
Ethernet has long been the dominant LAN technology. Now the availability of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) has enabled new applications in the data center. Two factors have made this possible:
- Competitive price and performance
- Need for simplified data center networks
Gigabit Ethernet is more than adequate for most LAN applications but is not sufficient for connecting servers to storage area networks (SANs) and network attached storage (NAS) or for server-to-server connections. Fibre Channel and InfiniBand have been widely used for these purposes. Fibre Channel supports rates up to 8 Gbps; common InfiniBand interfaces support 10 Gbps rates, and 20 Gbps server and switch ports are also available.
10 GbE price and performance
While 10 GbE cannot match high-end InfiniBand rates, it is adequate for many data centers. Despite competitive performance, 10 GbE was not quickly adopted.
IEEE Std 802.3ae, the 10 GbE standard, was finalized in 2002, but high component prices slowed initial acceptance. Prices have now come down, and sales of 10 GbE interface cards and switches have accelerated. In August 2008, Dell'Oro Group, a market research firm based in Redwood City, Calif., reported that in the second quarter of 2008, 10 GbE switch port shipments exceeded 250,000 for the first time.
Raw data rates are not the only important factor. Good SAN performance requires low latency between servers and storage. Most Ethernet switches have been designed for use on a LAN. They must receive the entire incoming frame before beginning to transmit.
Switch vendors have now addressed this issue by developing switches specifically designed for data center applications. Low-latency switches begin transmitting to the outgoing link after reading just enough of the incoming frame to determine its destination. The result is switches with latency competitive with InfiniBand switches.
Reduced server CPU load and latency
Processing load on server CPUs is a critical performance factor. In most computer systems, the CPU handles the data copies and protocol processing required to support network traffic. As the data rate increases, CPU load increases. At 10 Gbps, processing load on the CPU becomes unacceptable.
Network interface card vendors have incorporated three mechanisms on their 10 GbE cards to address this problem.
- A TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) is a special-purpose processor located on a network interface card. Use of TOE transfers protocol processing from the CPU to the network interface. CPU application performance improves as a result of reduced load. Latency decreases because the interface card processor is optimized to move frames quickly.
- Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) provides an efficient mechanism for server-to-server data transfers. It reduces latency and CPU load by copying data from application memory space directly to the interface card. This single hardware-assisted copy eliminates a copy from application memory to the kernel, a second copy to the network device driver, and a third to the interface card.
- iWARP (Internet Wide Area RDMA Protocol), developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), enables applications on one server to read or write directly to applications executing on another server without support from either server operating system.
Use of TOE and RDMA requires changes to operating system software. Protocol processing code must be removed. Microsoft has provided TCP Chimney Offload to support TOE and RDMA in Windows Server 2003, Vista and Windows Server 2008. The OpenFabrics Alliance is developing Linux support for TOE and RDMA.
Simplifying the data center network
Replacement of Fibre Channel and InfiniBand with Ethernet results in cost savings and added flexibility. Fibre Channel and InfiniBand are specialized technologies connecting servers and storage. Neither can extend beyond the data center.
A single 10 GbE network and a single switch can support the LAN, server-to-server communications and the SAN, and can connect to the wide-area network. Data center staffs are familiar with Ethernet and IP network technology, so replacing multiple networks with a single network simplifies staff training and support costs.
Both Fibre Channel and InfiniBand require cable types specific to each technology. 10 GbE uses standard twisted pair or fiber cables. As a further bonus, a single high-capacity switch consumes less power and produces less heat than two smaller switches.
Ethernet Virtual LANs (VLANs) make it possible to shift resources quickly as traffic patterns change. LAN, server-to-server and SAN traffic can be allocated individual VLANs on the same cable if traffic level permits, or moved to separate cables as traffic increases.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet and iSCSI
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) has been developed by a group of equipment vendors to provide a way to preserve customers' investment in Fibre Channel while gaining the advantages of a single network technology. Fibre Channel packets are transmitted over Ethernet instead of using Fibre Channel interfaces, cables and switches.
Similarly, iSCSI provides a method for preserving investment in existing systems while benefiting from a single network. Storage connected via iSCSI appears to a server to be a directly connected SCSI disk drive. Standard SCSI commands are transported by the TCP/IP protocols over Ethernet.
Fibre Channel and InfiniBand technology, in contrast to Ethernet, guarantee that no packets are lost in transit. To remedy this problem, work is currently under way in the IEEE to develop Ethernet protocols that eliminate packet loss by providing flexible prioritization and eliminating network congestion.
This work, combined with further price reductions, performance improvements, reduced power and the need for simplification, will continue to increase the use of 10 GbE in the data center.

LSL is very pleased to announce the immediate availability of the LSL RFID Access Control and Asset Tracking System v3.3
This version brings significant new firmware, software features, and bug fixes to the LSL ACS system including the new LSL ACS Communication Server ( LCS ).
The LSL ACS Communication Server is a new server component of the LSL ACS system, that can run on Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X. It can run on the same server as the LSL Enterprise Server or on a separate server for performance and redundancy.
It expands the compressed data streams produced by the LSL LPN-SEC appliances, reduces, and simplifies the processing load on the LSL Enterprise Server component.
For modern multi-core CPU's and in keeping with the LSL design philosophy of completely distributed, no single point of failure systems, this additional server allows for better balance and superior performance across the product.
This change also allows for greater scalability and reliability in the LSL Enterprise Server component which has been streamlined and optimized for it's primary role of organizing and storing the data input streams from the LSL LPN-SEC appliances.
The primary function of the LCS is the processing of data from the LSL LPN-SEC appliances into a report friendly format, interfacing with the LSL Enterprise Console GUI, as well as serving as the primary API server for 3rd party product integrations.
The LSL ACS API is now directly accessible through the LSL Communication Server. In the previous product generations this function was performed by the LSL Enterprise Server.
This release is built with the latest version of the LSL Development Framework 3.5.2 with all the inherent advantages that release brings to the table.
Bug Fixes:
All known, reported bugs have been fixed and verified in this release. Any new issues can be reported through the LSL Support Ticket System

Once you're approved for monthly invoicing, you'll be assigned a credit line. Using this amount, you can calculate the maximum amount that you can use as your daily budget. This is a good way to distribute your campaign costs over a certain time period. Here's how you'd use one:
Let's say that you have a Google Ads account with two campaigns, and you want to spend a total of £10,000 for the 30-day month. To make sure that this £10,000 lasts the entire month, first decide how much you want to spend on each campaign. Suppose that you want to dedicate £7,500 to campaign No.1 and £2,500 to campaign No.2. To find your daily budget, divide each amount by 30:
£7,500 / 30 = £250
£2,500 / 30 = £83.33
Following this formula, you'll assign campaign No.1 a daily budget of £250 and campaign No.2 a daily budget of £83.33.
Bear in mind that if you'd like to spend £10,000 per month and you have 30 days to pay your bill, then your credit line has to be at least £20,000. Why? After the first month, you'll have used £10,000 of your credit line. So, by the time you'll have paid the bill (i.e. after 30 days), you'll have spent an additional £10,000 with Google for that second month. That's why your credit line has to be at least £20,000.
Your campaign daily costs might go slightly over or under your daily budget, but you won't be charged more for a campaign than your daily budget times the number of days in that period. This is known as overdelivery.
When setting your campaign budgets, bear in mind that your credit line will need to cover all your account costs, including:
- The costs accruing in your account(s) each day for which you haven't been billed.
- The costs for which you've been invoiced but haven't yet paid.
- The costs that accrue in your account while your previous month's payment is being processed (a minimum of several days).
If you don't spend your daily budget each day, then your monthly costs could be lower than you expect. That's why it's a good idea to check your costs regularly, in case you'd like to raise your bid.
You can view your accrued costs on the Campaigns page. Make sure that you set the date range for an appropriate period, then find accrued costs for each campaign in the last column of the table.

Press Release
Yoga at Help for Heroes
Yoga, to some, may not be the most obvious tool to help wounded, injured or sick serving and veteran members of the Armed Forces. However Yoga is being used by Help for Heroes to help them overcome their physical and psychological injuries, and it plays a significant role in the road to recovery for many of our heroes.
Yoga helps our wounded manage their physical and emotional state, and enables them to regain a sense of calm and peace and to see obstacles as manageable challenges as well as providing their families with vital tools to support them.
Suzie Jennings is a leading yoga expert and the first to be employed by the Ministry of Defence, (MoD) six years ago to develop classes for wounded veterans and has been running the Yoga sessions for Help for Heroes since 2012. From her experience of hands on and on the floor assists, it became clear that a more specialised and structured programme would be needed and so the Adaptive Yoga Programme was born.
While the sessions are designed partly to rebuild strength, they also aim to assist with post-combat symptoms such as insomnia, depression, phantom pain and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Classes consist of learning to be fully present in the body, breathing techniques, relaxation, as well as the postures and their benefits. Therapeutic Yoga, Reiki, Meditation and Yoga Nidra are all part of the Yoga experience at Help for Heroes.
After her years of experience, Suzie realised that there did not seem to be any other yoga teachers working in this field and it was important that all her knowledge and expertise needed to be passed on to other yoga teachers. Acknowledging the need for the continued support of our serving and veteran personnel, she had the idea of training yoga teachers in her Programme and with the backing and support of Help for Heroes, established the Adaptive Yoga Teacher Training Programme (AYTTP). Ten students have graduated already with another course set for May 2016.
One veteran who has felt the benefit of the yoga sessions is former Corporal Josh Boggi. Josh joined the army in January 2004 at the age of 17, as he'd always wanted to be a soldier. His father served for 11 years and he aspired to follow in his footsteps. Josh was blown up two months into his third tour of Afghanistan after stepping on an IED. It was New Year's Eve 2010.
He was casevaced back to Camp Bastion and was put to sleep on the helicopter. When he woke up seven days later in intensive care at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, his father broke the news that his back was broken and both his legs were amputated. Later his right arm was amputated. Like many of the amputees at the Help for Heroes Recovery Centre at Tedworth House in Wiltshire, his recovery has been aided by adaptive yoga.
He said: "I feel great after the yoga, and at night when I can't switch off, Suzie's breathing techniques calm me down."
In creating more teaching staff, each of the four H4H Recovery Centres will be able to offer adaptive yoga, benefiting our wounded and their families across the country and to this end it is hoped that 10 suitable candidates will be invited on the 8 day residential course
Suzie explained: "We look forward to rolling out adaptive yoga and relaxation classes in all our recovery centres very soon with a long term aim to offer online resources, making this an accessible tool for all, not just in the recovery centres but from their own home or on the move."

Notes to editors:
Help for Heroes offers comprehensive support to those who have suffered life-changing injuries and illnesses while serving our country. This support is provided through grants direct to our Heroes and their families, grants to other charities and through four Help for Heroes Recovery Centres across the UK. A study in September 2014 by Help for Heroes and the Royal College of Psychiatrists found that 75,000 men and women may need long term support following our involvement in the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I am helping to get a list together of people to invite to my baby shower and my mom and mother in law are both requesting that I send invites to a ton of out of town relatives I barely know, saying, "They probably won't come but it would be nice to send them an invite."
I feel like this will really comes off like me saying, "GIVE ME GIFTS!!!" and that it will be more appropriate to just send them birth announcements after the baby comes. What do you guys think – am I overreacting about sending them invites or am I right and its more appropriate to just send them birth anouncements later?

This is a variation on my favorite cream cheese marble brownies, this uses only half the amount of cream cheese with the addition of dulce de leche for more yum factor! 🙂
You can melt some caramel candies or your fave chocolate to sub for the dulce de leche. Add some nuts too to the brownies if you have some; I was saving mine for another recipe :D.
Make the brownie layer..
dilute dulce de leche with water or milk..
top brownie layer with cream cheese then dulce de leche
Bake; cool and cut into squares; use a knife dipped in hot water for a neat slices but I didn't bother
I ♥ this brownie! 🙂 if you want thicker cheesecake, just double the recipe for that layer..
DULCE de LECHE CREAM CHEESE SWIRL BROWNIES
For the brownie layer
1/2 stick butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Cream Cheese Layer
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3-1/2 cup dulce de leche diluted with 1-2 tablespoons water to make it pourable
Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with foil.
Make Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, add sugar, mix until well blended then add in the egg, flour and vanilla, mix well; set aside.
Make the Brownies: In a heavy saucepan, melt butter, add sugar, take pan off heat then with a wooden spoon mix butter and sugar well until it's cool enough to add the eggs and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl, stir to combine. Pour sugar-egg mixture to flour mixture, mix until well combined then pour into prepared pan.
Add cream cheese mixture on top then the dulce de leche; using a toothpick or point of a knife, cut dulce de leche into the cream cheese layer to make a marble or swirl effect. Bake brownies for about 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool then cut into squares. Enjoy!
Happy Baking!! 🙂
It's just 17 days before Christmas..Yay!! 😀

Iron deficiency is common in Australia, affecting up to 20% of people during their lifetime. Iron deficiency can stem from multiple causes, including low intake of iron-rich foods, reduced absorption or excessive loss of iron, which is usually due to blood loss1-3.
It is important to be able to accurately diagnose iron deficiency. Incorrect interpretation of iron studies can lead to unnecessary, and potentially harmful, investigations.
If iron deficiency is present, screening questions can be used to determine if dietary intake is insufficient, or menorrhagia is the likely cause. If this is not the case, the patient will require further investigation for the next most common cause – gastrointestinal blood loss.
Who is at risk?
- Menstruating women (9-11% are iron deficient)
- Pregnant women (up to 25% may be iron deficient)
- Elderly, aged >65 years
- Fatigue
- Lethargy, irritability
- Headache
- Exercise intolerance, exertional dyspnoea, angina
- Symptoms related to cause (eg menorrhagia, haemoptysis, melena, rectal bleeding, change in bowel habit)
Diagnosing iron deficiency
Iron deficiency progresses in stages. In the first stage, iron stores can be depleted without causing anemia. Symptoms may occur at this stage (with low iron stores, but no anemia), in particular fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance.
Further iron loss will initially cause normocytic anemia. Many patients in Australia present at this stage. Ongoing loss will result in microcytic hypochromic anemia.
Iron studies and full blood examination are preformed to diagnose iron deficiency. Iron studies need to be interpreted in the context of the clinical scenario, as an inflammatory process can impact on interpretation of the results.
Interpretation of iron studies in iron deficiency
|Iron Deficient state
|Inflammatory response
|Ferritin (single best test)
|Accurately reflects iron stores
Commonly elevated in inflammatory states including chronic disease
>100 μg/L excludes deficiency
(<30 μg/L *)
|Serum Iron
|Not clinically useful due to significant variation within the same day. Levels may be suppressed in inflammation
|Serum transferrin (or TIBC – total iron binding capacity)
|Iron binds to transferrin. TIBC is a measure of transferrin.
|Transferrin saturation (serum iron/TIBC)
|Transferrin levels are reduced with inflammation
|Soluble transferrin receptor
|Directly linked to rate of erythropoiesis and inversely to iron stores. Not affected by inflammation. Not available with routine iron studies (specific request) – useful if concurrent inflammation and suspicion of low iron stores
* A lower cutoff of <15 μg/L may miss some patients (75% sensitive). Value of <30 μg/L are over 90% sensitive in diagnosing iron deficiency.
In some cases it can be difficult to clearly establish if anemia is due to inflammation alone, or there is co-existent iron deficiency. If the inflammatory cause is transient, iron studies may be repeated once the inflammation has subsided. In the setting of chronic inflammation, if iron studies are equivocal, one option is to give iron replacement and observe for a response – a rise in haemoglobin in response to iron replacement is supportive of iron deficiency.
Common causes of iron deficiency in Australia3-4
- Diet
- Women
- Heavy menstrual loss
- Pregnancy/lactation
- Malabsorption (celiac, H pylori gastritis, Inflammatory bowel disease)
- Gastrointestinal losses (peptic ulcer disease, IBD, bowel cancer/large adenomas, NSAID induced ulcers)
- Chronic disease including heart failure, chronic kidney disease (and haemodialysis)
This is not an exhaustive list of all differentials, rather a summary of the more likely causes.
Treating iron deficiency
Oral supplementation (100-200 mg daily)
- Side effects can include metallic taste, constipation and nausea
- Cheap, easy to administer
- Should be given in divided doses when using >1 tablet/day to avoid saturation of uptake
- Ferinject intravenous preparation (500mg to 1g) allows shortest infusion time (~15 minutes)
- Circumvents problems of absorption and poor compliance
Approach to iron deficiency in pre-menopausal women
Initial screening for gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and menorrhagia (or recent pregnancy/ongoing lactation) should be done. If there are no GI symptoms, and menstrual loss is high, it is reasonable to supplement iron intake and monitor ferritin. Further investigation is warranted if iron levels fail to increment.
Likelihood of gastrointestinal blood loss
Some studies document up to 15% of patients presenting with asymptomatic iron deficiency were found to have a high risk lesion such as malignancy or advanced adenoma. However, this was <4% in those aged less than 45 years5.
If gastrointestinal symptoms are present, or no apparent cause for low iron is present on history, further investigation with gastroscopy and colonoscopy is recommended. FOBT is not useful in this scenario – it is not sensitive nor specific enough to definitively exclude GI causes for low iron.

Welcome to the 12th part in our series of troubleshooting articles dedicated to the iPhone 6. There are a lot of people using this model right now ever since it was released due to the fact that it's the latest iPhone model and it also comes with several new improvements over its predecessor. One of the most visible improvements is its larger screen real estate. This made it an easy choice for people looking for a phone with a large screen.
In this latest installment of the series we will tackle some of the issues owners are facing with this model.
If you own an iPhone 6 or any other iPhone model for that matter then feel free to send us an email at [email protected] regarding any issues you are facing with your phone. We will be more than happy to help you with that. This is a free service we are offering with no strings attached. We however ask that when you do send us an email try to be as detailed as possible so that an accurate assessment can be made and the correct solution can be given to you.
iPhone 6 Getting Hot / Battery Life Decreasing
Problem: So I just upgraded my phone at the local Apple Store three days ago. Got somewhat railroaded into doing the Restore from Backup AT the store. Resulting in… An 8 hour restoration process at home due to massive Photo log from previous phone. While it was charging because yet again the new phone was totally dead right out of the box. I noticed at one point while it was charging that I could barely touch any part of the phone because it was so hot that even the screen was painful to touch. It cooled down after a while and I didn't think anything of it cause it didn't get that hot again.
Then yesterday it was dropping 1 percent of battery every 5 minutes during light usage of me actually just simply having the home screen pulled up and checking settings to see what all I could turn off to conserve battery life. Charged it up to 100 percent from about 75 last night. Overnight it only dropped to 99 percent. It's holding the charge while in standby so far. Then this morning it starts decreasing 1 percent every 4 and a half minutes…. Then every 4 minutes. Dropped 20 percent total in an hour and a half of deleting stuff OFF the phone to try and ease battery usage. I'm not even using half of the storage space I have on the phone. I charged it up again before leaving the house to have a guesstimate of battery percentage drop while out shopping. It held at 100 percent for over 2 hours with occasional checking of the local weather app and phone calls. Then right after I get home it starts gradually going down again. At one point it was dropping lower every 2 to 3 minutes. In the last hour and a half its now dropped 25 percent battery and is rather warm again. Not scalding hot like it was the other day, but the warmest it has been since that time.
On a final note I don't know if it was there the day I got it but I noticed this morning the upper left corner of my phone is somewhat…. clicky/poppy/creaky if I apply pressure to the front and back of it. When applying pressure there I can feel the movement of it near the middle of the phone. Every other corner is solid and doesn't appear to move at all. And I'm not sure if this other bit is normal or not, but sometimes the screen image randomly drops a third of the way down the frame leaving a blank black space at the top. It goes away if I hit the Home button, but it's happened about three times now.
Solution: The first thing to do in cases like this is to restart your device. Most of the issues that an owner experiences with this phone can be resolved by simply restarting it.
- Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
- Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
- After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
If the problem does not go away then follow up with a quick reset.
- Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the problem persists then try to restore your phone and set it up as a new device.
Before you restore your phone
- Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes.
- Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
- Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restoring your phone
- Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
- Select your iPhone when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
- Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
- After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you'll see the "Slide to set up" welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new.
If the issue still persists then bring your phone to the nearest Apple store and have it checked. This way you can also have the creaky upper left corner display of your phone checked.
iPhone 6 Keeps Searching For Bluetooth Device
Problem: My IPhone 6 keeps searching and searching and searching for Devices even though my device is on and placed next to the IPhone, it seems the search is forever. Thanks.
Solution: Restart your phone and the Bluetooth device you are connecting to. Make sure the other device you are connecting to is in pairing mode and discoverable so that your phone can connect to it.
iPhone 6 Black Screen No Response
Problem: My iPhone 6 was working fine earlier today and this AM I changed it to 100%. I went to set a timer and the screen is black and the phone is non-responsive. I plugged it into my MBPro and it was not recognized by iTunes … I am not sure what to do!?
Solution: This is most likely just a glitch in your phone software. Do a reset by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until you see the Apple logo then release. This may take up to 30 seconds.
iPhone 6 Error 53 After Phone Soaked In Water
Problem: How Can I fix the error 53 in my iphone 6 because of water damaged. Please let me know and give some suggestion.
Solution: Try to perform the following troubleshooting steps listed below.
- Get the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
- Install available updates for your Mac. If you have a PC, you can get PC software
- You might need to update, change, disable, or uninstall software that's causing an issue.
- Keep only your iOS device, keyboard, and mouse plugged in directly to your computer.
- Turn off your computer and your device. Then turn them on again.
- Update or restore your iOS device again.
If the issue persists then you need to bring your phone to the nearest Apple Store as this error may be a sign of water damage.
iPhone 6 Error 17 When Restoring
Problem: after trying to restore phone, a message pops up and says unable to restore due to an unknown error occurred (17). any idea what that means?
Solution: An error 17 means iTunes can't communicate with the update server. The first thing you should check is if your computer is connected to a stable Internet connection. If it is then follow the troubleshooting steps outlined below.
Check your hosts file
- On Mac: Open the /etc/ folder and look for the hosts file.
- On Windows: Navigate to C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/ and open the hosts file.
Once you have the hosts file open, scroll to the bottom and look for any line that has gs.apple.com (or any other modification of apple.com). If there is, make a backup copy of this hosts file (place it somewhere easily accessible, like the desktop) and then delete the line that contains the apple.com reference. Just the line.
Restart iTunes and try to update/upgrade.
Address TCP/IP filtering, firewall, or security software
- Temporarily uninstall your security software
- Connect your computer straight to the modem (bypass your router)
- Disconnect from your wired or wireless router.
- Use an Ethernet cable to connect directly to your modem.
- Restart your computer and modem. Contact your Internet service provider for instructions on using your modem.
- Be sure you have a working Internet connection
- If your Internet connection is working, try to update or restore your iOS device again.
Restore or update on another computer
- Try to restore your phone on a different computer.
iPhone 6 Restart When Opening / Updating Apps
Problem: Hi, I am currently using iphone 6, iOS 8.3 (updated on 26 Apr 2015), 128 GB, silver model. For the past two weeks I have had my iphone restarting on me four times, each time showing the white screen with apple logo. Each time this happens, I was updating apps from the app store, and at the same time opening another app. It could be a huge game app, or a small browser app, but a few seconds after opening the app the screen totally turned white with the apple logo. Not sure what other information I am able to provide for now, but just want to check if anyone else has the same issues? Does anyone know if this is a hardware or software issue? Please advise, thanks in advance.
Solution: First make sure that your phone is running no the latest software version. You can use iTunes to do this.
- Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
- Plug in your device to your computer.
- In iTunes, select your device.
- In the Summary pane, click Check for Update.
- Click Download and Update.
Restarting your device also helps in this case.
- Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
- Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
- After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
iPhone 6 Charger Exploded
Problem: Last night i plugged my phone in to charge, the charger immediately exploded (since found out it was fake, didn't even realise we had a fake charger in the house) and all the lights went off.. The phone still had battery power and still worked, unfortunately it wont charge anymore. I have tried numerous official chargers, cables and have even plugged it into my mac – nothing worked. Spoke to apple who are obviously unwilling to fix it for free due to the circumstances. Any idea on what i can do from here?
Solution: This is most likely a hardware related issue already which probably concerns the charging circuit of your phone. You will have to get your phone serviced at an Apple Store for this to be resolved.

So I'm new to all this and wondering if any dudes have advice on giving head. What's the best way to do it? Should I take it "ALL" in? Do you jack the base and just suck on the head? How do you keep the teeth away? Should I be doing something with my other hand? A little embarrasing, but I need to know.

Dear Colleagues, This note is to let you know about a proposal by Dr. Akira Kaji to change the Standard Name of YHR038W from FIL1 (Factor for Isocitrate Lyase expression) to RRF1 (Ribosomal Recycling Factor 1). The FIL1 name was originally published by Kanai et al. in 1998; this is currently the only publication characterizing this gene. The FIL1 name has also been used subsequently to designate a mutation in adenylate cyclase, encoded by the CYR1 gene. We have contacted the researchers who have published on the YHR038W gene and there is consensus accepting the proposal to make RRF1 the Standard name for YHR038W with the original name FIL1 becoming an Alias Name for this gene. With the consensus of currently known researchers working on the YHR038W ORF, we plan to make this proposed nomenclature change on June 20th. If you have any objections to this proposed name change, please contact us.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act Is Used to Discriminate. Let's Fix It.
This piece originally ran at Religion News Service.
When Congress passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993, the American Civil Liberties Union supported it because we believed it would provide important protections for people to practice their faith.
Having fought for religious liberty for decades, we were troubled that the interpretation of the Constitution at the time did not sufficiently protect minority faiths. Over the years, we have used RFRA to fight for religious rights, most recently on behalf of a Sikh student, Iknoor Singh, who was barred from entering the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps unless he cut his hair, shaved his beard and removed his turban.
But today RFRA is being used as a vehicle for institutions and individuals to argue that their faith justifies myriad harms — to equality, to dignity, to health and to core American values. For example:
- In 2014, a federal magistrate judge cited RFRA in ruling that a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints could not be required to cooperate in an investigation of child labor law violations. (Church leaders were accused of removing children from school and forcing them to harvest pecans on a private ranch, without pay, for eight hours a day.)
Continue reading here.
I'm a nonreligious person who sees something wrong with homosexual & lesbian conduct & I think that they must make it a crime to do sex changes. Even if orientation doesn't change, it's best for gays/lesbians to be celibate just as it's best for a person with tobacco orientation not to smoke. If homosexuality is inborn as some scientists believe, then it would be a birth defect.
Never have I heard straights blame childhood sex abuse for reasons a man has sex with a woman and fathers children with her. Yet sometimes have heard gays and lesbians say childhood sex abuse is reason they do same sex behaviors. Sex abuse in youth can cause people to behave in ways. It's not controversial to talk of nightmares, suicides, bed wetting often a result of sex abuse in youth. Yet when 1 talks gay/lesbian behaviors in adulthood because they learned this sexual behavior by being repeatedly molested, then gays with politically safe psychologists complain. The politically correct psychologists who deny this know it's possible for a boy to turn out gay as a result of childhood sex abuse, yet deny what they know is true. Of course, not all who are sexually abused in youth become gay in adulthood-but the risk is higher.
Homosexual/lesbian conduct needs to be marginalized such as smoking/tobacco use is. I know my view offends homosexuals, but most smokers do not get offended by negative views of tobacco use. So homosexuals/lesbians have to hear others give negative views of their sex lives, because there is something wrong with this just as there's something wrong with smoking.
Repair therapy for gays and lesbians who want to be straight must be available just as repair therapy must be available for a drug junky who wants to become clean. For a therapy to have best chance of success, the patient has to want it for themselves. If a person goes into therapy because he or she is pressured by peers into this, they are usu. not going to last long because they don't sincerely want it. If a kid is a junky and he or she doesn't want therapy to quit drugs, then it's usu. going to fail because they don't want it. You can not force a person into therapy minus a court order and even if you do, if they don't sincerely want it, it's usu. will fail. While repair therapy to treat gayism, lesbianism often fails, using what you ask, we also should not have repair therapy to treat smoking, drug junkyism, etc. because that often fails. Minors can not be forced into therapy against will-minus a court order such as requiring medicines for a minor who does not want medicines.
Yes, it should also be the right of homosexuals and lesbians not to go into repair therapy just as I support right of tobacco users not to have repair therapy to quit smoking and I support right of any lucid person to refuse medical care such as if a lucid person's a heart attack victim and does not want open heart surgery, then it should be their right to refuse this. Yes, proof burden is on repair therapists, but if you aren't going to have repair therapy for homsexuality/lesbianism, then you may as well not have repair therapy for drug junkyism or drunkardism, because such therapy often fails and high relapses. Is it possible for a homosexual or lesbian to change sexual behavior and sexual orientation to heterosexuality? There are gays and lesbians who sincerely believe they changed to heterosexuality and without contrary proof only they know.

Unbelievable. Your comment has about as much factual basis as phrenology. You are a hopeless bigot and a breathing anachronism. Please return to the Middle Ages where you belong.

With all the big important problems in the world, you spend your time and energy focusing on what other people do in their private lives. It is a clear indicator that these issues are important for you. I suggest that might be homosexual or trans and living in denial. If not, I suggest you re-evaluate your priorities and focus on an issue that has some bearing on doing good in the world.

Gay"ism"? So it's like Fasc"ism" or McCarthy"ism"? You've the right to feel as you do and hold your opinion(s) dear. That aside, it is not your, my, nor anyone's right to harm others by an action or opinion, if said viewpoint threatens to repress or impinge upon the freedom and wellbeing of another human spirit. Free speech is not the same as careless invective. And remember, the casting of stones presupposes a motive or intent, the origin of which is an admixture of ignorance and hatred. Would that we all (myself included) had the foresight to appreciate the collateral damage our pet peeves might inflict upon the sweet and good in our brothers' and sisters' lives.

You obviously have nothing better to do then go on these websites and flaunt your enormous ego to all who can see. I happen to be a gay man and have been gay since I started going through puberty and developed the ability to have feelings of sexual attraction. I did not choose to be gay. In the beginning, I resented myself for it. I tried to be "Straight" and it didn't click with me. I can no more "choose" to be turned on by a women then you can "choose" to be turned on by people of your same sex. I'd say walk a mile in my shoes, but for the fact that you can't do that, because BEING GAY IS NOT A CHOICE! Take some time and listen to what those around you say and think. Actually talk to someone who is gay and get their side instead of only listening to the marginalized data gathered by biased psychologists looking for something to increase their paychecks from what ever right wing party that is filling their wallets. And by the way, I am a devout christian. I am sorry that you had bad experiences in your past with those who claim to follow my faith, but we are not all like that. Consider going to a United Methodist church or a Non-Denominational church. You might find that they are completely different from what you were raised to witness.

I am being persecuted by people like you. How violent are you guys getting in your discrimination against us in your Church exactly what do you do to active GLBTQ people in your Church? How do the gang members in your Church get? and how many crimes have your church committed in the oppressive beliefs you described above please?

About me-I'm not religious, though I did go to Christian schools when as a boy (1970s)as we had immigrated to in 1972 & my parents believed Christian schools would give better education. Turns out 1 of the priests @ our school was a gay pedofile, which was in earlier post. I am not religious because among other things, if there's a God, then why do bad things happen in world I don't care about the gay/lesbian marriage topic which law allows and admit information war by my side was lost on homosexuality, when topic mainly became about the boring gay marriage topic and only once in a while about homosexuality's risks. Truth about homosexuality's dangers don't change and truth must be told though information war is lost. Homosexual/lesbian conduct is bad for health like tobacco & needs to be treated like tobacco use by adults. If willing & knowing adults want to use tobacco or do gay/lesbian conduct, then that's their life, but it must be treated as harmful like tobacco is. I know what APA, mainstream psychologists & psychiatrists say about gay/lesbian conduct, but they are ideologues. I think that they must make it a crime to do sex changes.
I have thought about this & don't think any1 can rebut conclusion that childhood sex abuse victims of gay/lesbian pedophiles have more risk of turning out gay/lesbian by copying the conduct they learned because think you know that conduct incl. sexual conduct can be learned. Think you know it is possible for people who are victims of same sex molestation (such as victims of gay pedophile priests) to copy this sexual conduct and do gay conduct in adulthood incl. turn out to be gay pedophiles.

LGBTQ is not a disease and not a sin, Their uncommon Sexual orientation is "God given" just the same as south-paws (left handedness) or albinos which are considered demons in some parts of Africa and are murdered! In the Bible God calls for murdering homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13). This is very unfair since God created them "in his image"!
It's very interesting to note that The Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu When he discovered that his daughter was a Lesbian said that if his daughter wasn't allowed into Heaven then he would accompany her to Hell!

I agree with the anonymous person who believes homosexuality is essentially like an addiction. It is true, it can be altered or worsened, by things like therapy or acting upon it. Sex change is far to confusing and controversial, as well as not natural or even truly possible. It should be denied, and people should avoid being judgmental, but we should not all accept it. Also, whomever said for them to "Go back to the middle ages" is even more of a bigot, simply by being judgmental over another persons beliefs. You would like your beliefs to be respected right? So stop mocking others. I am a Christian, and I absolutely know that people who suffer from same sex attraction can deal with it, as they should rightly do.
