A Georgia utility appears powerless to stop "A.J.," an Atlanta man who charges a mere $5 to reconnect electrical service at homes in the Greenbriar Mall area.
Are they kidding? Powerless? Brain dead, yes, powerless, no.
Simply inform the utility user who lost power that any unauthorized turn-on other than the power company woud trigger an immediate $1,000 fine and no more power without putting up an additional $1,000 utility deposit.

Is it best to give your honest opinion all the time?
Do you think you should always share your true feelings with others? For example, if a friend were to say something you totally disagree with, but they're not asking your opinion, should you say something?
I'm having trouble deciding what the right thing to do is. On one hand, no one ever asked your opinion. But on the other, you will have to respond to what they're saying, so why not say what you think?

Jun 29 2012: My experience has taught me that often giving an honest opinion tends to worsen a situation, rather than rectify something. It results in more tears being shed and unhappiness. We often do need to take a person's emotions into consideration. The ' I am not rude, just honest' attitude can be very hurtful at certain points and completely shatter them.

Leaders of the Wellness Revolution
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs, and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, they evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Their line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Source Naturals' nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional, and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

text: USELESS EATERS (Shattered/ Goner/ Burger Records… FACEBOOK) SLOW JERKS (you already know) NICE GUYS ("punx from the 80s hangin ten on a tsunami" FACEBOOK) $6/ 10pm Presented by Unregistered Nurse from Get Bent; Dr. Frank-N-Furter, is that you? Let's talk about this album cover first 'cos it's a pretty great one. Nostalgic pop culture references combined in that good ol' punk collage fashion hint at what's inside. A trash bin of youth, road trips, television, beer, alienation, and boredom—it's your afternoon accompaniment in the form of a little record called Daily Commute. The first Useless Eaters full-length channels weirdo post-punk, like the Swell Maps and Wire, and is jam-packed with melody and full-blown energy. It still seems so odd that Jay Reatard isn't with us anymore, but his former touring bandmate Seth Sutton ensures that his style lives on in the form of Useless Eaters. Just when I was becoming worried that the punk music of my generation might be seriously degenerating into purified, glossy crap, the Useless Eaters (as well as many of the comrades we rave about on GET BENT!) come along and save my little punk rockin' soul with eleven tracks of snotty, lo-fi garage punk mayhem out on Tic Tac Totally. Hopefully, we'll see more music from these guys in the future. In the mean time, Daily Commute has a few goodies to digest. "How U Doing"! "Neon Light"! "Take Advantage of Me"! "Drug Store"! "Vile Nation Part 2"! Where's part one? Who the hell cares! Turn it up!

[-Writing-] How to create original character names, TRULY original names

Creating original characters
(Just requires some imagination)
Hey all. Seppie here from AB RPG. Still working on that project. Right now, I'm working on a little demo though.
Onto the tutorial!
Working with names:
In order to name a character, you must find out his background. Where are his parents from? Why are they where they are now? Does he like the name? Why, or why not?
To figure out his name, you must define his personality. Is he nice, smart, funny, mean, rude, a downright !@$%@$^?
We'll be working on a girl name in this tutorial, though...
You must first find her origin. For example, our character is of Italian origin. Her personality? Nice, smart. Now, we will find the Italian word for 'Nice' and take it's root. The root is 'Bella'. Now, the root for 'Smart'. There are many adjectives for 'Smart', but I'll be using 'di moda' because it breaks it up a bit.
Now, our characters name is Bella di moda, which is directly translated 'Nice smart', and doesn't really explain our character. Let's say she's unworldly gorgeous. Perhaps her name should then be Donna Vistoso which would be 'woman gorgeous', or 'gorgeous woman'. You can create beautifully flowing names using this method.
Another name that would work for a gorgeous woman would be...
Bello Femmina (Italian)
I hope this helps somewhat to anyone trying to create names. Just look for root words that describe their personality. And, if all that fails, there's a first name generator with quite a few options.
[Generator Link]
Thanks for reading. And, if you're reading, thanks to the mods for approval!
Remember, I love you all if you viewed this.
And, since you're reading this, you can PM me if you want to try out the demo. I'll give out 5 codes to use to play the game. If I receive good feedback from those 5, I'll continue on with the game creation. If not, scrap it and rebuild! =D

How would the parents know what kind of personality their child was going to have when they matured into an adult, and thus name their child accordingly? That makes no sense. It's also far easier, I think, to go for normal names which people actually have in the real world, like "John" or "Sarah", rather than try to be overly inventive for no reason.
Another name that would work for a gorgeous woman would be...
Bello Femmina
Personally, I'd find it weird if I was playing a game where one of the women was named with a male word ending. What's wrong with Bella?
Now, we will find the Italian word for 'Nice' and take it's root.
Just to let you know, you mean 'its route'. There should be no apostrophe.

When taking it as a tutorial/theory, as I'm sure you meant it. I think this is a perfect tutorial. Names have always given me trouble and this definitely helps in the process. Just because the parents couldn't foreknow how the child would be doesn't mean they couldn't name them according to how they hoped they would. A lot of names are based on actual meanings throughout the world. I feel a clever and inventive name can be more compelling than a simple Sarah or a John. At least I believe so any way.
Great tut. though!
Just to let you know, you mean 'its route'. There should be no apostrophe.
Just to let you know, you mean "its root". He was talking about the root word. Not the route to the word.

Yeah. Sorry, I really didn't mean to come into this thread and make points against it, I think it's a good tutorial. I was trying to be constructive that's all
Didn't properly read the word route, just spotted the grammar thing and thought might be worth informing them. Cheers though

Well I'm Italian XD And Bella is more like beautiful, nice, if you mean like gentle is Gentile. Bello is male version of Bella, that's obviously an adjective. In italian you can call someone bella, but there is not a man called bello. Unfortunally we don't have male/female names for all names. Eg: there's Sara (without h like me) but not Saro, Andrea is usually a male name. But there are Giovanna (female) and Giovanni (male) for Jonh, Michele (male) and Michela (female). Genera rule is: the names that ends with a is female (not for Andrea as said before) ad the others are male. If you want I can translate some names to make them more realistic, but the guide is nice and original in any case. Well done :3
If you need help with maps feel free to contact me. Sorry, I can't do much, but I'll be happy to help you.

Someone had to to be held accountable for it.
We now know it sucks to work in Apple and be known as the "Antennae Guy"
Lol what if he "mysteriously" disappears in a week time? I blame Apple lol.
St£v£ should sack himself he signed off on the device knowing it had issues
Design gets approved. Apple realizes the problems, makes bumpers, removes field test mode from iOS4. Releases iPhone to public, denies issue, admits issue, blames it on all smartphones...Fires designer. Guess someone had to pay for all the free cases.
What was it about 2 or 3 percent of all the Iphone 4 made that had the problem!
I have an Iphone 4 which is not affected as I can even moisten my finger and cannot make mine act up!
The thing that get me as they are not trying to fix the problem with the Iphone 4 just doctor it up ride it out and then the Iphone 5 will be out and I would bet it will not have the problem!
Another thing is that I have heard the Apple and Steve Jobs
new of the problem before release and still did nothing!
Probality the proto type Iphone 4 was assembled at apple and yes were better assembled!
I be the China sweat shops turned them out as fast as possible and I don't even know it they were even tested other that power on a off!
And Steve Jobs is going to find a patsy to blame it all own!
The antenna design really isn't that bad. Mine will drop a few bars if I purposely try to make them. I just
Of course the iPhone 5 won't have the same problem....what do u think that second "temporary" iPhone plant is for? Indoor golf cart racing?
100% truth. I thought it was so weird when jobs annouced they were offering a case for the iPhone since they had never done that in the past. The pieces to the puzzle were put together very quickly.
Nvm I just got it to drop a call while death gripping it. Good thing I always use a case.
I believe previous report that Jobs chose this design, with the antenna engineering warning him about such design. Because Jobs debacle on this Antennagate, and Jobs is suppose to be infallible someone high up have to step down to protect Jobs infallibility. That is what I see here, a guy high up step down because he is not Apple he is not Jobs.
Jobs chose it likely because it was offered to him and argued for by this guy. It was likely by his recommendation that Jobs chose and championed the effort. News flash: Steve Jobs is not an engineer and doesn't believe himself to be.
Anyway, it appears that half of you still can't differentiate between the death grip and the other antenna problem (bridging). In addition, there are the Bluetooth and, face sensor, and noise-canceling issues. Don't let Apple or anyone else fool you into thinking that "death grip" is the only iPhone 4 problem and that its only problems affect all other phones. All together, the iPhone 4 is the least usable iPhone of all for making and maintaining phone calls and it has nothing to do with "death grip" OR the bridging issue. The BT connection issues triggers the noise-canceling issue just as switching to BT mid-call (muffles your voice over re-established BT) and the face sensor issue causes disconnected calls (and worse!). That leaves you with speakerphone, which isn't always viable.
I hope he was fired .... Then he can collect unemployment
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot0vpY5fjBc]YouTube - iPhone 4 'Death Grip' FIDO Canada[/ame]
will they exchange my iphone if i say i have the death grip problem? even with the case i lose bars
Do not post bare iPhone 4 death grip video's we all know what will happen.
Buy a case like I did for the MANY iPhone's in my household and make sure the case covers the problem area and guess what no death grip.
And since cases are free now, I do not see why people still use the iPhone without one, I mean yea is looks great and I do not want to hide anything blah blah blah.
The free case options one is called the REVEAL for a reason.
END OF CRYING, antenna problem sucks and is a big deal if you are a 11 year old Twilight fan, but with my Incipio case while I wait for my free cases is no problem.
Dude above try the Incipio cases they work for me.
I mean also I understand this antenna problem sucks big time it is a literal design flaw, but it can be fixed.

Combat Pilot from Mad Catz is a new flight simulation, multiplayer game that looks pretty rockin'! I have to say that the game is definitely one I'll give a go at home with my own sons.
I can't say that I'm a huge flight sim fan, but one of our resident gamers here at Fox took a look at the trailer and was very enthusiastic about giving it a go. This is a PC only sim and does require a membership fee. The fee is $49.95 for the first month, then $11.99 a month thereafter. The first month's fee actually gets you full access to the game and levels which includes:
- 30-Day Full Access to the Combat Pilot Environment including: Flight Training Operations, Fighter Lead-In Training, choice of over 24 different careers, check rides, access to the pilots lounge, voice communications, squadron creation, multiplayer flying, and much more.
- (3) detailed aircraft (created by A2A) including: CP-T-6B/CP-AT-6B, CP-T45C, and CP-T-38C (a $75 value). These aircraft can be flown both inside the Combat Pilot multiplayer environment as well as offline via FSX.
- (7) Military Bases including: NAS Pensacola, NAS Jacksonville, NAS Corpus Christi, NAS Oceana, NAS Fallon, Sheppard AFS, and NAS Whiting Field (also accessible offline via FSX).
The game is PC only and runs on Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista or Windows 7 and is currently closed though the website is up at http://combatpilotseries.com. What does that mean? You can hit that link and read all about the community, the YouTube channel aka KillCam repository and more on pricing and DLC but you can't actually play the game yet because it hasn't launched. For more info, you can check out the full press release below.
San Diego – July 24, 2012 – Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. ("Mad Catz") (NYSE MKT: MCZ) announced today that it will launch a new flight simulation experience entitled Combat Pilot in the summer of 2012. Combat Pilot introduces multiplayer, military aviation and combat operations to the realistic world of flight simulation, where simulation enthusiasts from around the world can train, fly, fight and interact together.
Combat Pilot was developed by Mad Catz' internal ThunderHawk Studios™ and represents the first ever interactive, multiplayer combat simulation built around Flight Simulator X™ from Microsoft® (sold separately).
Those entering the Combat Pilot universe must qualify to earn their wings in order to fly with others in the community. The proprietary, multiplayer engine, as well as the regulated military environment, sets Combat Pilot apart from any other flight simulation experience.

"Mad Catz' Saitek™ brand and flight simulation is an important part of our company's culture and Combat Pilot will allow the flight simulation community to come together and interact as never before."

Almost one year has passed since John Paddock was fired as head coach of the Ottawa Senators, but he has an opinion on who is most to blame for the team's continuing struggles.
According to the Camden Courier-Post, Paddock feels general manager Bryan Murray should be in the crosshairs if Senators owner Eugene Melnyk hands out any more pink slips.
"I think now he's next in line," Paddock told the Courier-Post. "We were 14 games over .500 when I was fired. They're seven under now. Somebody needs to take responsibility for that. Whether the coaches he hired and fired were good or not, they're his players and they're either not playing good or can't play, one or the other."
But Paddock, who is currently the head coach of the AHL's Philadelphia Phantoms, doesn't think coaching is the issue in the nation's capital.
"The players are not very good, that's the problem," Paddock told the Courier-Post.
Earlier this month, Murray fired Craig Hartsburg 48 games into the season after the Senators struggled to a record of 17-24-7. Cory Clouston was promoted from the team's AHL affilaite in Binghamton and given the reigns for the remainder of the season.
When informed of Paddock's comments, Murray stated that he was disappointed; however he said that Paddock thought he was talking "off the record."
"He sent me an apology today in an e-mail," Murray told reporters.
"He indicated to me that he didn't know that he was being interviewed by someone and personal feelings are what came out of it."
Murray also stated that he did not believe that Paddock meant to be malicious, but he should be very careful about what he says to the media.
"John doesn't seem to be that type of guy, sometimes you say things that get in public that sometimes really hurt other people or hurt yourself in the long run."
While he admitted to being caught off guard by Paddock's comments, Murray felt that he did everything that he could to make it work with Paddock behind the Senators bench.
"I know I made the (Joe) Corvo and Patty Eaves trade last year because John wanted me to," Murray stated referring to a pre-deadline deal with the Carolina Hurricanes that saw Ottawa acquire forward Cory Stillman and defenceman Mike Commodore.
"He felt very strongly that (Corvo and Eaves) weren't going to help us and that we could get two guys who could give us a better chance come playoff time. I tried to serve as a general manager as best I could for my coach and it didn't work."
Although Paddock remains on the Senators payroll, Murray stated that he will not attempt to punish his former bench boss from a financial standpoint for his comments.
"There are a couple of clauses that we could have brought in to play but we're not vindictive in that regard," Murray stated. "We're just disappointed."

I was placed in a smoking room ( they said I had requested smoking ) I don't remember being asked and I would NEVER have requested it. The room smelled of smoke and booze.....yuk! All in all, it was okay for the price. Under $100 for 2 nights. Easy to find. Close to restaurants and shopping.

A 16-year-old boy from Inver Grove Heights was killed early Sunday morning when the car he was driving went off the road and crashed into a power pole.
Eagan police responded to a report of a car that had gone off the road around 12:22 a.m. in the 900 block of Cliff Road, just west of Dodd Road. Upon arrival, police found the driver had been thrown from the vehicle and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The impact of the crash downed power lines and caused an outage affecting roughly 600 homes in the area. A portion of Cliff Road was also closed Sunday morning. Power has since been restored and the road is now open.
By Sunday afternoon, Fox 9 News confirmed the victim was Max Lowell, a junior at Cretin-Derham Hall High School who played football and had been active on recruiting sites.
"I stand at 6 foot 3 inches weighting 250 pounds. I'm constantly in the weight room setting new goals," he wrote.
Many of Lowell's friends who spoke with Fox 9 described him as "huge" for his age, but they say he had an even bigger heart.
"He just dropped me off, said, 'I'll see you Monday. We're going to work out, get big for next year,'" Jake Lacina recalled.
Just moments after his friend drove away, Lowell crashed just a few miles from his home. At this time, investigators aren't sure why.
"I just couldn't believe it," Lacina said. "He's such a great guy. For him to go like that, it made me so sad."
The community that Lowell found at Cretin-Durham Hall is now in mourning as they remember a well-loved athlete who had only recently returned from a mission trip to Costa Rica through River Valley Church in Apple Valley.
"He just loved getting to know the kids down there and just telling them about Jesus," Alex Berterr said. "He just had a true passion for God."
In fact, even though he was looking into a future in football, friends say Lowell's ultimate goal was to enter the ministry.
"He told us he had a calling to become a pastor, to minister to people," Zack Perske said. "I thought that was super cool."
His friends and family gathered at River Valley Church on Sunday, along with the entire football team, to remember Lowell.
"You would just see him and he would love people," Kevin Clark said. "Didn't matter how you looked or your status; he would want to be your friend."
Many who came to honor Lowell's memory described him as a resilient and forward-thinking young man.
"He would do something wrong or it wouldn't go the way he wanted it to, and he would just hop back up, dust himself off and say, 'Next play.' That carried over into his life," Pete Johnson recalled. "He always looked forward to the future and didn't let things in the past hold him."
Yet, when Youth Pastor Aaron Topp spoke outside Lowell's home on Sunday afternoon, the story he shared may have summed up Lowell's character best.
"He literally had moments where he risked his reputation to be friends with people who other people wouldn't be friends with," he said.
The Eagan Police Department, Minnesota State Patrol, and Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office are still investigating the crash. It is still unknown whether Lowell was wearing a seat belt at the time.

Better Sleep for You and Baby (Tonight!)
In the first few weeks of life, the newborn's central nervous system is still immature and disorganized. His sleep-wake cycles are random, and he is likely to sleep 16 to 18 hours a day in three- to four-hour cycles, waking three or four times during the night, and needing your help to go back to sleep. By about three months, as his brain matures and he is becoming "entrained" to the routines around him, he is consolidating his sleep, sleeping through two six-hour sleep cycles at night, and taking one or two long daytime naps. You can reassure yourself that by one year most babies sleep 10 to 12 hours at night and can go back to sleep on their own if they do wake.
But just as there are adult "larks" who rise with the dawn and "owls" who are ready to party at 11 PM, infants also vary in their natural body clocks. Research published in Child Development shows correlations among the regulatory processes of sleeping, eating, and crying in infants. Some babies are described as "fussy," showing more reactivity to stimuli of all kinds, and these babies are most likely to experience sleep disruptions and to have trouble getting themselves back to sleep without help.
When Difficult Becomes Problematic
Most parents of infants will experience sleep deprivation in their child's first year of life, particularly with night waking and difficulty returning to sleep. And most infants become "discombobulated" on occasion when Grandma comes to visit or the family is traveling. But when does sleep deprivation become a "sleep problem?"
Medical experts have been unable to reach consensus about when sleep becomes a medical issue. Your doctor may focus on how often your baby wakes during the night, how long she stays awake, and whether you have to take her to your bed just to get some sleep. Has the occasional night spent in the rocking chair turned into your regular routine? Perhaps more important are the consequences of the sleep problems. Is either parent having difficulty performing daily tasks at work or home due to sleep deprivation? Are siblings falling asleep at school because of nightly waking? Finally, are family relationships suffering due to impatience, hostility, and lack of relaxed family time?
Ruling Out Physical Problems
A number of common medical issues can cause sleep problems, such as congestion or teething, so it is wise to discuss sleep issues with your pediatrician at your child's regularly scheduled well-child visits. These routine issues should be differentiated from chronic illnesses requiring medical attention, such as ear infections, asthma, reflux, or milk allergy.
According to Klaus Minde, author of The Sleep of Infants and Why Parents Matter, your physician also may rule out sleep apnea, a condition in which an infant awakens periodically because he stops breathing.

Wreck-It Ralph
Ralph is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, the "good guy" star of their game who always gets to save the day. But after decades doing the same thing and seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the role of a bad guy. He takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero. But the world of the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz… Show more
Created by Zvents
Disney Animation takes a page out of Pixar's well-worn playbook for Wreck-It Ralph, a screwball farce with a novel setting and more edge than your average Disney 'toon.
Where Toy Story showed us the off-duty shenanigans of a kids' toy collection and Monsters, Inc. took us behind the scenes of the bogeyman business, Ralph finds fun in the outside-the-arcade-game life of the characters trapped in those games, forced to play hero, pawn or villain forever. Or until the game falls out of favor and the power is shut off.(Full review)

John Schwartz
John Schwartz is a national correspondent for the New York Times. His beat focuses on infrastructure – rails, bridges, levees, ports, sewers and all of the other really important stuff that most people take for granted or prefer to ignore.
Before taking on the infrastructure beat at the end of 2011, he was the paper's national legal correspondent, writing about cases and issues ranging from false confessions and lawsuits brought by victims of child pornography to disputes over rare gold coins and defendants' tattoos.
Mr. Schwartz was previously a member of the paper's Science staff, and wrote primarily about space travel.
His work at the Times has taken him from the Mojave Desert to Moscow. He has written on a wide range of topics, including the levees of New Orleans, physician-assisted suicide, Facebook, jetpacks, robots and why pregnant women don't tip over. (It has something to do with an extra curve in their spines.)
He also shows up occasionally in The Times Book Review, Science Times, arts and culture sections and writes a humor column for the business section's mutual funds quarterly.
Prior to working at The Times, he worked for The Washington Post and Newsweek.
John is author of "Oddly Normal," a memoir about raising a gay son. He was born in Galveston, Texas, and attended the University of Texas at Austin and U.T. Law. He married his college sweetheart, Jeanne Mixon; they have three children. He takes his work seriously, but not himself.

A little background: I just had my daughter at 36 weeks gestation by c-section due to preeclampsia on February 17th. Fortunately she was fine and didn't need any NICU time. My blood pressure remained high until about a week postpartum when I was able to get off of my BP meds.
My pre-e started out as mild PIH at 26 weeks gestation. It stayed mild until about 30 weeks, when I got on BP medication. At 32 weeks my BP shot up to 170/100 and I was put on labetatol and given steriod shots. From 32 weeks until I delivered at 36 weeks, I was in and out of the hospital, on strict bed rest, and having appointments every couple of days. I was officially diagnosed with PE at 35 weeks, because my protein had gone up over 400.
I have a few questions. First: I am obese. If I get to a normal weight, will this improve my chances for a healthier pregnancy next time? Second: Because my PIH/PE was slow moving and mild, even when I delivered, is there a chance I will have more severe PE next time or will it likely be the same or nonexistent? Third: I never had any platelet problems or blood issues. Does this decrease my chances for PE in my next pregnancy?
I am just trying to understand the types of PE. Some seem to be mild and slow moving like mine, while some seem to involve platelets and need delivery at 25 weeks.

Had another preconception consult today with a different MFM. He said the same things as the other MFM but he did say we could try NOW if we wanted, despite me still being overweight. My bp is controlled- 120/83 today- which is what he would be most concerned with. So I guess we're officially ttc.

By Amy AndrewsFox 2 News ReporterDETROIT (WJBK) -- Opponents of the emergency manager law or Public Act 4, are rejoicing after voters shot down Proposal 1, the ballot referendum that would've given the governor the power to appoint an emergency manager as soon as the state identified a financial emergency."We marched, we fought and lastly we voted, and the State of Michigan decided that they cared about democracy and they did not want Public Act 4 nor emergency managers in their cities," said Rev. Charles Williams II, president of National Action Network Michigan.Now that Proposal 1 has been rejected, the state reverts to Public Act 72, an emergency manager law that has been on the books for two decades and is far less reaching."We have the less effective version, which was the old emergency manager law, still in place, but that's being legally challenged," said Governor Rick Snyder. "So, the real question is, as legal challenges or issues come up with that, is that going to be available because if it's not, then it does leave very few options for communities because bankruptcy could be left for some of them and that's something I think would be best avoided if we can help it."In a letter to Snyder before the election, Detroit Public Schools Emergency Financial Manager Roy Roberts threatened to step down if Proposal 1 failed."Today, unfortunately, we must help Roy Roberts move out of his office. He said that he wasn't going to stay, so I just came down to the public school office to say, hey, if you need a hand, I'd be happy to help you," Williams said.But Roberts, who has reduced the district's deficit from $372 million to $74 million and is overseeing two consecutive balanced budgets, is backtracking today saying he will stay at his post.Roberts was not available to go on camera, but he did issue a statement that reads, in part, "My fear is that in the absence of PA 4 or other similar legislation, this same type of progress will be virtually impossible. I will, however, continue to operate under the existing statue and Judge Murphy's order that I am responsible for the finances and the BOE (Board of Education) is responsible for academics."

Standard ophthalmic exam
A standard ophthalmic exam is a series of tests done to check your vision and the health of your eyes.
See also: Refraction test
Alternative Names
Routine eye examination; Eye exam - standard; Snellen chart
How the test is performed
The eye doctor will ask questions about your overall health and family's medical history. You should tell the doctor if you have noticed any eye problems.
The doctor checks your vision (visual acuity) using a chart of random letters of different sizes. This is called the Snellen chart.
To see inside your eye, the doctor looks through a magnifying glass that has a light on the end (an ophthalmoscope). The device allows the doctor to see the retina and nearby blood vessels, back of the eye (fundus), and optic nerve area.
Sometimes, you'll be given eye drops so that the doctor can better view the back of the eye. Another magnifying device called a slit lamp is used to see the clear surface of the eye (cornea). See: Slit-lamp exam
Different machines and methods test your eye's reaction to light, eye movement, and side (peripheral) vision. To see if you need glasses, the doctor places several lenses in front of your eye, one at a time, and asks you when the letters on the Snellen chart are easier to see.
Color blindness is tested using multicolored dots that form numbers. See: Color vision test
The doctor checks for glaucoma using a method called tonometry.
How to prepare for the test
Make an appointment with an eye doctor (some take walk-in patients). Avoid eye strain the day of the test. You may need someone to drive you home if the doctor uses eye drops to perform certain eye tests.
How the test will feel
The tests cause no pain or discomfort.
Why the test is performed
You should have regular eye exams. Such exams allow for early detection of eye problems and help determine the cause of vision changes.
Various eye and medical problems can be found by a routine eye test, including glaucoma, cataracts, high blood pressure, macular degeneration, and diabetes. People with diabetes should have their eyes examined at least once a year.
Certain types of work require that you get eye exams. For example, pilots, race car drivers, and military personnel.
Normal Values
- 20/20 (normal) vision
- Ability to differentiate colors
- No signs of glaucoma
- Normal optic nerve, retinal vessels, and fundus
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may be due to:
- Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD)
- Astigmatism
- Blocked tear duct
- Cataracts
- Color blindness
- Corneal abrasion (or dystrophy)
- Corneal ulcers and infections
- Damaged nerves or blood vessels in the eye
- Diabetes-related nerve damage in the eye (diabetic retinopathy)
- Glaucoma
- Hyperopia
- Lazy eye (amblyopia)
- Myopia
- Presbyopia
- Strabismus
- Trauma
This list may not be all-inclusive
What the risks are
If you received drops to dilate your eyes for the ophthalmoscopy, your vision will be blurred and sunlight can damage your eye. Wear dark glasses or shade your eyes to avoid discomfort until the dilation wears off.
Special considerations
Many eye diseases, if detected early, are curable or can be treated.

DORCHESTER, Wis. (WSAU) - On the day Governor Scott Walker announced the dates for a special election in the 69th Assembly District, one of the Republican candidates has withdrawn.
Dorchester Village Trustee and Clark County Republican Chairperson Deb Koncel has decided not to run for the seat vacated Tuesday by Republican Scott Suder. She has instead endorsed candidate Bob Kulp of Stratford.
Koncel released a statement Wednesday, saying she shares the same values and concerns for issues, and believes Kulp will be a positive and conservative voice in Madison.
So far, interest has been shown for the seat by Koncel and Kulp, along with former Marshfield Alderman Republican Scott Noble and Granton Republican Tommy Dahlen. As of Wednesday afternoon, Dahlen was the only candidate registered with the Government Accountability Board for the open seat.
If a primary election is necessary, it will be held October 22nd. The special election to finish the final year of Scott Suder's term will be November 19th.
So far, no Democrats have registered for the race. During the last election, Paul Knoff of Neillsville was unsuccessful in challenging Scott Suder.
The 69th Assembly District includes western Marathon County, part of Wood County, and much of Clark County. It includes the following cities and villages: Marshfield, Neillsville, Loyal, Spencer, Owen, Colby, Abbotsford, Dorchester, Edgar and Stratford.

Have You Walked A Mile In Your Patients' Shoes?
Early on in my podiatric medical education, one of my professors casually mentioned during a lecture how important it was for physicians to have empathy for their patients. In those youthful days, I knew what the word "empathy" meant. I imagined that it would probably be a good idea for me to try to develop this skill of being empathetic since having this quality may allow me to better understand what my patients were going through. By being empathetic, I could help them more as their podiatric physician.

Essential Insights In Treating Medial Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are one of, if not the most, common injuries in sports. The incidence of injuries appears to be increasing with the higher number of people participating in athletics through all phases of their lives. It is estimated that 30,000 ankle sprains happen each day.1 Lateral ankle sprains are by far the most common with only 5 to 6 percent of ankle sprains occurring medially.2,3 Medial ankle sprains can be more debilitating and have longer recovery times than lateral sprains.

Real earnings in December 2011
January 23, 2012
Real average hourly earnings for workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose 0.2 percent from November to December, seasonally adjusted. This change stems from a 0.2-percent increase in average hourly earnings, while the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) remained unchanged.
Real average weekly earnings rose 0.5 percent over the month, as a result of the increase in real average hourly earnings and a 0.3-percent rise in the average workweek. Since reaching a peak in October 2010, real average weekly earnings have fallen 1.1 percent.
From December 2010 to December 2011, real average hourly earnings fell 0.9 percent, seasonally adjusted. A 0.6-percent increase in the average workweek, combined with the decline in real average hourly earnings, resulted in a 0.3-percent decrease in real average weekly earnings during the same period.
These earnings data are from the Current Employment Statistics program. Earnings data for November and December are preliminary and subject to revision. To learn more, see "Real Earnings – December 2011" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-12-0062.

Do you tip the hotel maid?
A new survey indicates that half of Americans don't leave a little something for the housekeeping staff.
My, what a miserly bunch of travelers we can be. Nearly half (48%) of Americans don't leave a tip for the hotel housekeeper, according to a new survey.
And those who do are far from agreement on what the tip should be. "Among those who do tip, 44% leave at least $5, while a third (33%) tend to leave just a dollar or two," says the new Shoppers Trend Report from online coupon site RetailMeNot.
Whether we tip seems to be influenced by the part of the country we're from and our sex.
- 56% of Southerners said they don't tip the hotel cleaning staff, while only 25% of people from the Northeast admitted as much.
- 56% of men said they leave a tip, while only 49% of women respondents do.
Why should you tip the maid, we can hear some of you wondering.
Here's an answer from a post at HotelChatter: "… you know, if you're tipping the roomservice dude for pressing the elevator button and wheeling a cart of food to your room, shouldn't you be tipping the staffer who is on his or her hands and knees scrubbing your hotel room's toilet?"
A new study on hotel room cleanliness found that housekeepers normally clean 14 to 16 rooms a day, or about 30 hard minutes of work per room. (Post continues below.)
(Off-topic but essential side note: That study also found that the TV remote control is the most-germ-laden surface in hotel rooms, and that eyeballing a room for cleanliness isn't effective. Some hotels are addressing that. USA Today says Best Western housekeepers are being equipped with "black lights to detect biological matter otherwise unseen by the human eye, and ultraviolet light wands to zap it." Also, says Smarter Travel, "A Best Western representative told us that any bedspreads will be washed if bacteria is detected on them via the black lights. No longer will travelers need to fling off the stiff bedspread using the tip a foot or an oblivious spouse's toothbrush.")
So, what's an appropriate tip for the person whose task is to keep you safe from bacteria, germs, and other icky things, and earns an average of $10.10 an hour? For that we turned to a Good Housekeeping post by Peggy Post (Emily Post's great-granddaughter-in-law).
She recommends $2 a day in a moderately priced establishment, and $3 to $5 at swankier places. She also advises that you leave a tip each day so the person who actually cleans your room can pick it up. (A USA Today chart includes a range of recommendations on how much to tip the maid and other hotel staff.)
We suggest that you put out the "do not disturb" sign in the interest of conserving water and energy -- do you really need a clean towel every day? -- and leave the tip before you depart. Add a little extra if you've been really messy.
Put the bills in a folded sheet of paper or envelope, and write "housekeeping" on the outside so there's no doubt that it's a tip and not just money you left sitting out.
Some hotels may automatically include a tip in your bill. Ask when you check in.
Do you tip the hotel maid? If not, why don't you?
More on MSN Money:
At what point are we tipping for service or handing extra cash to someone for doing their job? If I tip the room service waiter - for the service of bringing food - do I not also tip the cook who prepared the meal? If I tip the maid, why not throw a buck at the guy who checked me in? Do I tip a pilot for getting me to my destination? What's the difference between someone who brings my mail or someone who prepares my taxes? If I tip for being served coffee at a table, do I locate - and tip - the vendor if I get a cup of joe from a vending machine? If I tip a cocktail waitress for my drink, shouldn't I tip the band for the ambiance? Or why not tip the construction crew for building the facility in the first place? We could all justify our jobs as "tippable".
You bet. Housekeepers work hard and it's a miserable job cleaning the room that a stranger has slept and bathed in. I leave the money each morning with a note saying "for the housekeeper", even if I'm staying several days.
I have not infrequently received notes of thanks from the housekeeper in return.
I run a small cleaning company, so I really appreciate a clean room and generally tip $3-5 dollars per night, more if we are especially messy or have a lot of people in a room. The few dollars out of my pocket can really put a smile on someone's face and boost their morale, which shows up in their work. It also helps them financially when it all adds up. I generally leave a note of thanks along with the cash, hoping to make them happy. I cleaned for many years before my business, and a happy employee is a good thing to have.
Thanks anyway, but I decline the privilege of allowing this author, or anyone else determine when or how much I should give a tip.
I make that determination when/if the service of a person makes me feel that I enjoy the experience. As for hotel help .. If I never even meet that person, then I will almost certainly not give some type of tip. That is just plan silly. I give tips for personal service .. .not for a person just doing their job.
Rose in Massachusetts: do you also tip the stock crew at your local grocery store/Walmart/etc ? I've worked as a stocker (as well as janitor) and until you've had the joy of unloading a supply truck, wheeling a pallet onto a floor, and stocked shelves for a 12 hour shift, you've not known true joy (lol). Funny, I never got a tip for making sure all the items you need were in the convenient places for you so that you could go home and open Mr. Cuddles' can of cat food without undue effort on your part.
Are you saying that I'm not one of the "other working people" that is due such largess as you would give to hotel maids and waitresses? Please explain to us your reasoning behind who gets tips and who doesn't. Why? "Just because".
Sorry if I sound bitter, but I keep seeing how "working people" deserve tips. Unfortunately, I seem to have spent years in untip-worthy jobs that I put in long hours because it was "my job" to do so, but then see people claim deserving workers get tips. What junk.
Waitresses, YES. They get paid crap and survive on tips; I NEVER go below 18% unless they maroon me at my table and never return, and even then I weigh how busy, number of workers, etc.
Others who get a full pay scale, whatever you think, but don't try to make those of us who actully do the same jobs (or worse) without the benefit of qualifying for your tip feel bad for not doing so.
Question: how many of you that tip hotel maids tip the janitor at your place of work? Just wondering, because I've done custodial work in the past and I was NEVER offered a tip. Why is that, do you think? Hotel maids= tip worthy, janitors= not tip worthy.
Is this the same reason we tip people who bring us food at TGIFridays but not at McDonalds? Some people are inherently tip worthy, but others who do the same job "are getting paid to do their job"?

This is one of my favorite dishes to throw together. Totally healthy and simple to prepare, they are great to keep in the fridge for a quick dinner. You can serve them over rice with a side salad, inside a burrito, or add a smidge of curry paste and fresh ginger for great indian flavor.
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 5 cloves garlic, pressed
- pinch salt
- 1 c dry lentils
- 1 vegetarian bouillon cube
- 4 c water
- 1 cup packed fresh cilantro chopped finely
- 1 large tomato, diced
- freshly ground pepper
- 2 t umeboshi vinegar, rice wine vinegar or lemon juice
- In a 12 inch non-stick skillet, place olive oil, red pepper flakes, cumin seeds and salt. Turn heat to medium-low, and slowly bring the ingredients up to temperature. This will take around 20 minutes. The garlic should caramelize. Do not rush this step, as this is VERY important to build the base flavors of the dish. Now, wash the lentils and add them to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium (5 on my electric stove. This is as high as I go with my non-stick skillet. ) and toast the lentils for several minutes. Add the bouillon cube and water and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes or so, or until the lentils are cooked. Turn off heat and add cilantro, tomato, pepper and vinegar. Taste and adjust seasonins if need be.
- Enjoy!
- Serves 3-4 as a main dish over rice
- 6 tomatillos cut into quarters
- 1 large onion cut into thick slices
- 5 serrano chiles
- pinch salt
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1/2 t cumin seed
- 1/2 t coriander (ground)
- 2-3 cups water (enough to reach the tops of the veggies)
- 1 veggie bouillon cube
- juice of 2 limes
- 1 cup packed cilantro
- 1 t umeboshi vinegar
- salt/pepper to taste
- In a large cast iron over medium-high heat, place tomatillos, onions, chiles and a pinch of salt. Allow the vegetables to blister and turn brown. This will take several minutes. Toss the pan several times or turn with a spatula so all sides of the veggies get some color. Add the garlic, cumin and coriander. Stir or toss several more times for 3 minutes. Add the water and bouillon and cover. Bring to a strong simmer/boil for around 15 minutes. Uncover and add the contents of the pan into a large blender or food processor along with the lime juice, cilantro and vinegar. Process or blend until smooth. Allow to cool, then taste for seasoning and add more salt/pepper or lime juice if necessary.
I think I'm addicted to the sweet potato/adzukin bean and beet green combo. This had lite tofu as well, along with teriyaki glaze, cilantro, black sesame seeds, cilantro and lots of fresh ginger, served over soba noodles.
