Universal Clients for Accessing SAP Systems
SAP GUI is SAP's universal client for accessing SAP functionality in SAP applications such as - SAP ERP, SAP Business Suite (SAP CRM, SAP SCM and SAP PLM), SAP Business Intelligence and so on. SAP GUI functions like a browser. It gets information from the SAP server like what, where, when and how, to display contents in its window. All members of the SAP GUI family have unique attributes that make them especially suited for different user environments. SAP GUI comes in the following three different flavors:
SAP GUI for Windows
SAP GUI for Windows is an implementation especially designed for the Windows operating system, providing a Windows-like user experience and integration with other applications, based on OLE interfaces or ActiveX controls.
SAP GUI for the Java Environment
SAP GUI for the Java environment is a unified SAP frontend for multiple platforms. It is based on a platform-independent architecture and Java implementation. As a major benefit, it provides access to SAP applications that are based on Control-Enabling and therefore used to be reserved for Windows users in the past. Please, note that SAP GUI for Java is also available on Windows.
SAP GUI for HTML
SAP GUI for HTML automatically maps the screen elements in SAP transactions to HTML using HTML Business functions available within the SAP Internet Transaction Server. A web browser is sufficient to access almost all transactions. Please note: Since SAP GUI for HTML is an application running on the ITS, you find corresponding information on the ITS page.
You can find detailed information on the different SAP GUI types under the following links:

SAP GUI for Windows
SAP GUI for Java
SAP GUI for Java 7. 30 Download and Installation Information
This archive contains among others the SAP GUI for Java installation information.
SAP GUI for HTML/ITS
SAP GUI for HTML is running on the ITS, therefore the ITS installation information is relevant in this case. Since the ITS is integrated in SAP NW as of Release 2004, you do not need to install SAP GUI for HTML/ITS separately on systems as of this release. It comes with the package. For the non-integrated, standalone ITS, you find installation information in the SAP@Web Installation Guide for ITS 6.20 which describes how to install the standalone SAP Internet Transaction Server (ITS 6.20) and related tools on released Windows and Linux platforms.
Platform Support and Maintenance Strategy
General Information
Frontend Network Requirements (SMP Login required!)
Distributed landscapes today lead to the fact that an increasing number of users connect to a central system from dispersed sites with varying degrees of available bandwidth. As a consequence, user access is through local area network (LAN) and wide area network WAN (dial-up, frame relay, Internet, etc.). This paper contains a description of SAP's frontend characteristics from both a LAN and a WAN perspective.
Please note that this paper does not discuss server-to-server traffic or printing.

Nintendo 2DS: Budget Handheld Holds Up
Nintendo shocked everyone last week when it announced the 2DS -- a budget version of its popular handheld aimed at kids that does away with some features for the sake of price. The console isn't coming out until Oct. 12, and Nintendo said it would make the media rounds later in September. So we were surprised to find two strapped to a Nintendo employee at PAX in Seattle over the weekend.

All At Once
So much has been happening but I've had no will to write.
Then all at once I'm dreaming of you and I have to write. I have to remember the way you look when you laugh from below me. The way your eyes light on fire before our lips meet. The warmth of your chest beneath my hands. I need to remember it.
I'm wearing your worn-out, faded black tshirt that smells like you. I'm wrapped up in your navy blue sheets. I'm in your lap and your arms. Encased in love. Your lips press to the corner of my mouth and we laugh. I kiss you on the mouth. A chaste kiss full of more than I can imagine coming from something defined as chaste. I tell you how I always dreamed I'd be there, know the color of your sheets, how it felt to lay my head on your pillow. A confession that flames my cheeks. And our hair is haphazard and wild and we just lay there and laugh and it inflates your ego more than it should. But it doesn't matter because I love every part of you, even your ego. We talk like we've known each other for years for as long as I can keep you.
And it's not full of sex or lust. It's not 'fuck me' or 'I want you so bad.'
It's silly and fun and comfy and love.
It's how I want it to be forever. Wake up with a laugh and a kiss and bedhead. Spending rainy days wrapped up in sheets, making blanket forts and ordering take out. Days where we don't say a word, just look into each other's eyes and kiss and breathe each other in and silently thank God that we found it.
I feel like I found it, especially when I have dreams like this. Dreams where the ease with which we communicate and envelope in each other and mix and flow is just so clear to me.
It's so perfect. So perfect and not mine. You're not here and I'm not there. I don't have any of your old tshirts and I don't know your smell. But God, I could've lived inside of that dream for the rest of my life. It was that happy. That flawless. That full of everything I want from you. That gut wrenching to wake from.
I love you.
I can go days and days without reminding myself of how much. I get distracted by school and life and boys who treat me horribly.
But all at once, I know. I know. I know.
I know.
I love you. I know.
Lead me to where I need to be. Lead me to your love. You already have all of mine.
Sweet dreams,

The caucuses are tonight in Minnesota.
The 2012 election is nine months away, but local party officials will start making decisions on which candidates they will back this year this evening. In the hotly-contested race for Republican Presidential nominee, current polling shows Rick Santorum with a small advantage with 33 percent, to 24 percent for Romney, 22 percent for Newt Gingrich, and 20 percent for Ron Paul.
Minnesota's presidential poll is non-binding. For Republicans, that means that the candidate winning the caucus has no guarantee that delegates will support the victor at the GOP National Convention in Tampa, Fla., this summer.
In Minnesota, the DFL, Independence and Republican parties are considered major parties. For the definitions of major and minor political parties in Minnesota, click here.
A caucus helps a political party gain consensus as to how voters have aligned their political and candidate preferences.
But at a caucus, there's more going on than just candidate selection. Participants sometimes select county committee chairs that go to a state—and sometimes national—convention.
What distinguishes a caucus from a primary is that at a primary, voters don't have to be present at one particular location at a specific time. For a primary, voters just go to their polling place and cast a vote, the same as they would do at a general election.
For a caucus, you have to be physically present at your designated caucus site, register, show your party affiliation and then participate in the process. Attendees participate directly.
To take part in a caucus, you must be eligible to vote in the 2012 general election and live in the precinct.
Each party has its own rules and guidelines it follows.
In Shakopee, the Democratic, Independent and Republicans parties will gather at different locations at 7 p.m.
The Democratic-Farmer-Labor party will meet at the at 1137 Marschall Road.
The Republican Party will meet at , 100 17th Ave. W.
The Independence Party will meet at , 7700 Old Carriage Ct.
Additional caucus information—including a caucus finder—can be found on the Minnesota Secretary of State website by clicking here.

A Pregnant Woman is Raped in a Home Invasion While Her Son is Forced to Watch
Central Falls, Rhode Island-Investigators are saying that three armed men broke down a door while a pregnant woman slept next to her son early in the morning on June 28th. The men then robbed the apartment and one of them raped the pregnant woman. But that was only part of the nightmare. (more…)
Helping Edward and Melissa Garcia Will Cost You An Arm And A Leg
By Evil Twin Jess
Los Angeles, California Herbert Tracy White first met Edward and Melissa Garcia at an ATM in Hollywood, where they bummed cigarettes and money from him. He later told his wife he was helping out a "lovely young couple". Herbert was a former alcoholic, who had turned his life around and become known for helping those down on their luck. According to his wife, he would often answer the phone and go out in the middle of the night to give rides to intoxicated acquaintances because he didn't want anyone to drive drunk. The holidays were his "busy time of year", due to all the parties, so when he got a call at 2 a.m. on November 28 asking for a ride, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Except that he never came home. (more…)
Brian Hall Has a Super Long Neck. And a Machete.
By ThinkGoat
Tulsa, Oklahoma I don't know if the news sources have been a little lazy this week (you know, right before the 4th of July weekend) or if the criminals are saving all the good shit for when I don't feel like writing. Either way, outside of the normal baby bouncing off the fist stories, there's not been much activity in the "what the fuck" genre so I've resorted to finding and being intrigued by a mug shot even though the story behind the dude isn't so whatthefuckish but rather stupid. (more…)
Anthony Alvarez Pulls a Dog Day…Or Two
By Lazlo
Sacramento, California I am sure most of you will have heard of this Stand-off, and it's successful completion, before reading this article. For those of you lucky bastards that actually have a life instead of sitting around soaking up crime news, let me bring you up to speed.
Sacramento law enforcement spent 55 1/2 hours molly-coddling a straight up schizo who took a 15-month-old-child hostage. Anthony Alvarez, 26, decided to go Masada when police arrived to arrest him for possible involvement with three robberies and a shooting of a police officer. At the end of the siege, police dropped two "flash-bang" explosives on his ass. Alvarez fired, and the cops finished the job.
Robin Roberts Gets Nutty with the Guard
By Lazlo
Bridgeport, Texas When thinking about the worlds most dangerous jobs, does Security Guard ever come to mind? Doesn't for me either. In fact, the mental images that come to the surface when contemplating that position are of elderly, overweight men, or scrawny, pimple faced cop-wannabes who's sole purpose is to let law-abiding folk like myself know that we can't park "there". We have all seen them; eyes perpetually glazed over from the excitement of it all; cookie and bread crumbs on the front of their uniforms from the last snack break. These guys yearn for any form of excitement. Catching the odd shoplifter is the highlight of their week. The adrenaline rush, the radio comms, the ball crunching that results from a resisting suspect. Wait. Back up. Ball crunching?

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
Medical Care Under Threat in 2013
2013 hit a low point, bringing about a new and more ferocious wave of targeted attacks on medical personnel and facilities. In an effort to destroy opposition, hide wounds inflicted by government authorities, and intimidate doctors from treating protesters and fighters, medical care -- and those who take an oath to provide it -- has come under a full assault.
Why You Should Join This International Campaign
This month marks the anniversary of a terrible event: the October 2012 attempt on Dr. Denis Mukwege's life at his home in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Force Feeding Violates Basic Medical Ethics and Our Core Values
Force feeding is inconsistent with medical ethics, as it directly infringes on detainees' rights to make their own decisions about their health. Health professionals at Guantánamo have been subjecting detainees to the procedure against their wishes, using shackles and restraints for up to four hours a day while force feeding them.

Moon Dance
[M] (Dean) (
originally named 'Tupelo Honey'
) This medium-sized clump forms an eye-catching mound of puckered leaves that emerge chartreuse-yellow with an irregular and creamy-white feathered border. A second flush of leaves appears bright yellow with a white edge above the first creating a two-toned layered appearance. Lavender flowers
Moonlight Sonata
[M/L] (Johnson) Grey-green leaves turn shiny as the season progresses...great substance and beautiful fragrant pale lavender flowers
[M] (D&J Ward) Selected seedling from H. 'Dorothy Benedict'...blue-green leaves are framed with a gold border...great substance and good corrugation make this a very desirable hosta

Sorry, sold out
**Moulin Rouge

[L] (Hans Hansen) Hybrid of kikutii forms a low spreading mound of blue leaves with a creamy-yellow margin…leaves have a silvery-white back. Topped with pale lavender flowers in August
Mr Blue
[S] (Wrede) This is a great introduction...small hosta has striking blue leaves held on deep reddish-purple petioles that show good color up into the leaves. Lavender flowers late in the season
Mrs Minky
[M] (Hall) From Great Britain…beautiful undulating golden-yellow leaves have an intriguing edge that is quite wavy and the leaf tips are long and elegant. Plant makes a dense mound topped with lilac flowers in June
[M] (Tower) Glowing yellow leaves are heart-shaped and very shiny...good substance. Leaf margins are wavy and do fade to chartreuse later. The clump is topped with lavender flowers
Neptune PPAF
[M] (Hansen) Cascading, wedge-shaped blue-green leaves with a wonderful rippled margin are topped with lavender flowers in August on arching scapes
Niagara Falls
[L] (Brincka/Petryszyn) Large heart-shaped gray-green leaves stand upright and arch outward…each leaf has a dramatically rippled margin and clump is topped with violet flowers.

Sorry, sold out

None Lovelier
[M] (Elslager) Clump of green leaves framed with a creamy-yellow to white border that shows nice rippling. Vigorous grower topped with lavender flowers in August
**Obscene Gesture
[S/M] (Andersen) One of those sports from H. 'Striptease' parentage and came out of the tissue culture production of H. 'Kiwi Full Monty'. A creamy-white border frames the blue-green leaf center and the typical 'Striptease' thin white line runs between the two. Do believe the right location will make a big difference with this plant....

October Sky
[S/M] (Dean) Vase-shaped clump with powder-blue on both the top and bottom of the foliage blends the best of 'Frosted Dimples' and 'Salute'. Leaves hold their color until October's frost in Minnesota. Near-white flowers in August.

Sorry, sold out

The Radiac®
The Radiac from Baar
Products has been called the meditation device, stress reducer,
bio-electric balancer and spiritual and self unfoldment tool.
Bruce Baar, the manufacturer of the Radiac, is featured in the
new books "Supermemory" and "SuperLearning 2000". The Radiac is
also mentioned over 1,000 times in the Edgar Cayce Readings. The
testimonials listed below are just the tip of the iceberg of the
letters we receive. The Radiac Book is filled with information
on what Edgar Cayce said about it, current research, testimonials,
and "how to's".
Some people call the Radiac
(pronounced RAY-dee-ack) a Mind Machine, the BioBattery, the Radial Appliance,
the Dry Cell or the Impedance Device. No batteries and no electrical outlets
The Radiac is still personally manufactured by Bruce Baar, MS, ND. Enhance your dream experience and aid in spiritual awakening. Designed for mental and spiritual unfoldment, regeneration and attunement. Balances the mental, physical and spiritual. Enhance Remote Viewing and Visualization. Stress Reducer. Includes Instruction Sheet, Red Wire and Black Wire with Attachment Disc, Velcro, and Emery paper. The Radiac can only be used by one person. Because we do not sell used units, (you should never use a used unit) they are not returnable. See details on order page below.
Single Seal
Technology Enclosure
What is The Radiac®
used for?
By Bruce Baar, MS, ND
The Radiac® and How I use It
The Radiac is designed to balance your body's subtle energies. It is not a battery. It is constructed in a Single Seal enclosure that prevents cracking and moisture from getting inside the unit. Because of this new technology the Radiac is guaranteed to last a lifetime.
The Radiac is designed to be used at home and comes with instructions. You can use it every day, every other day, a few times a week, or when it is convenient for you. The only requirement is to attach the wires to the next position in the sequence so you don't use it over and over again on the same position. There are basically 4 positions or 4 ways to attach the Radiac to your body during use. After you have completed all 4 positions you have completed a cycle. You should do one position per day for about 30 minutes. A completed cycle is designed to balance the whole body, 1/2 a cycle balances 1/2 the body. If you use it every day then a completed cycle takes 4 days. Very simple.
Activating the Radiac®
Place the Radiac with the Protector Cap on top in the Radiac Container or a similar plastic container. Add ice up to the red line of the Radiac. Add water up to the red line on the top side of the Radiac. In about 15 minutes the Radiac is cold enough to begin using.
Cleaning The Discs
Clean the surface of the discs with #153 emory paper. This is important to be sure your body makes the proper connection. Just clean the surface side of the disc that attaches to your wrist or ankle. Since it takes about 15 minutes for the Radiac to cool, this is a good time to do the sanding. It should only take a few minutes. Keep the metal discs from touching each. Then plug the back and red wires into the Radiac into the black and red terminals on the top. Very simple.
The Radiac® Cycle, Attaching To Your Body
This is a general overview
of one cycle, the finer details come with your unit, but for now these are the
basic steps:
Day 1: Attach the Red Wire Disc the Right Wrist then attach the Black Wire Disc to the Left Ankle. Super simple.
Day 2: Attach the Red Wire Disc the Left Wrist then attach the Black Wire Disc to the Right Ankle.
Day 3: Attach the Red Wire Disc the Left Ankle then attach the Black Wire Disc to the Right Wrist.
Day 4: Attach the Red Wire Disc the Right Ankle then attach the Black Wire Disc to the Left Wrist.
Your Radiac® Session
I remain attached to the Radiac for about an hour. If it's the first time you are using it, your time should be shorter. When attached you do not want any distractions. It's a time for relaxing your body and your thoughts. You can meditate but do it lying down or in a comfortable chair or recliner, not in a lotus or any type of strenuous position. Relaxing music is OK but having the TV on is not a good idea ( and not the radio with commercials). We have subliminal tapes that are very good.
Storing Your Radiac®
You can store the Radiac in the Radiac Container or place it on your windowsill. Just keep it away from metal. The wires come in plastic bags. This is a good place to store them so the metal ends do not touch each other.
Your State of Mind
I adhere to the notion that your state of mind has a profound effect on you. I also know we are personally in control of it, no matter how much a part of us may think otherwise. So, when using the Radiac be joyous and reverent. Be in a positive state of mind. Just do it, its easy. More details in the Radiac book Experience The Radiac® (Item #502).
Only You Can Use Your
This is very important and not very well understood. Never use anyone else's Radiac. Once you use it no one else can. Something changes in the unit after you use it and it is not compatible with anyone else.
The Radiac® and Alcohol Consumption
Don't use the Radiac if
you have recently consumed alcohol.
Be sure to read what they are saying about the Radiac: Testimonials
The Radiac® and the Solution Jar Set
The most common use of the Radiac is by itself. This is noted above. But, it can be used in a different manner. This is for the advanced user. It can also be used with the Radiac Solution Jar Starter Set #140. Most people us the Radiac by itself first, then if they want to research further its abilities, they will purchase a Solution Jar Starter Set and one solution. The most common solution to start with is the gold solution. Further details on this are included in the Radiac Book.
Solution Jar Starter Set #140
Additional Solution Jar Set #141
Solutions: Gold, Camphor, Iodine, Silver, Iron, GoldenSeal
Solutions are good for 14
uses when you are connecting the solution for 30-45 minutes per use. So, 1 bottle
lasts 14 days. If you plan to research more than one solution then you will
need to purchase an Additional Solution Jar Set #141 for each solution you use
in addition to the first one.

The Promise of New Technology
Most engine manufacturers say 2010 will be like turning the clock back to the good old days
In 2002, diesels came with exhaust gas recirculation for the first time.
EGR put more stress on the engine, causing occasional failures of items like head gaskets and making the cooling system work a lot harder. EGR technology meant additional components like EGR valves and coolers and variable-geometry turbochargers that would occasionally fail. And it put a significant damper on fuel economy. Fuel usage increased because backpressure was needed in the exhaust system to drive exhaust back into the engine.
By 2006, the bugs with failed EGR valves and coolers and VG turbos were mostly a thing of the past. Engineers had even strengthened major internal parts to help guarantee durability. They recalibrated the ECM to meet the emissions standard while optimizing fuel economy. Thus, as 2007 approached, engines were running more reliably and had regained some of the lost fuel economy.
But 2007 brought increased levels of EGR to meet a still-lower NOx (oxides of nitrogen) standard and gave us the diesel particulate filter, or DPF, to meet a required significant drop in particulate from levels that already were very low. Lower-sulfur fuel, provided to cut particulate and preserve the DPF, together with the improved CJ-4 engine oil, meant better engine durability but more costly fuel and oil. In spite of increased EGR, engine-tuning tricks yielded fuel economy that was comparable with 2006 in most highway operations. But when the truck spends a lot of time under light load, a lot of fuel is used to regenerate the DPF. Also, at infrequent intervals, ash needs to be cleaned out of the DPF. All in all, not a pretty picture.
So what will 2010 bring? According to experts from most of the engine manufacturers, a breath of fresh air. It will be a lot like turning the clock back to the days before EGR became a factor.
SCR + less EGR = better engines
In 2010, the NOx standard will be an extremely low 0.2 grams per horsepower-hour, about 1/10 of what was allowed in 2004. Meeting this standard is difficult because low NOx is a diesel engine's toughest emissions challenge. Diesels thrive on heat because it helps burn soot. Reducing NOx in the engine means making an engine that loves to run hot run cooler.
Until now, NOx has been reduced in the cylinder by re-circulating more and more cooled exhaust. Exhaust absorbs a lot of heat from the fuel as it burns, but it also adds heat, soot and acids to the engine and makes it work under greater pressure. Fortunately, there is an ace-in-the-hole called SCR, or selective catalytic reduction. The technology has long been used in power plants and factories to kill the NOx produced in big boilers. Fortunately, it's practical to adapt it to a heavy-truck diesel.
This requires an SCR catalyst, a device about the size of a DPF and closely resembling an automotive catalytic converter in construction, together with a storage tank, pump, nozzle and microprocessor. A commodity rapidly becoming available at truckstops called DEF, or Diesel Exhaust Fluid, will be pumped into the SCR catalyst at a rate matching the engine's NOx output. When heated in the catalyst, a chemical called "urea" is formed from the DEF and, as Ed Saxman, product manager for Volvo Powertrain, tells us, "Urea and NOx becomes nitrogen and water. That's how SCR after-treatment works."
SCR is so effective it will be quite practical for the 2010 engines themselves to emit more NOx than in 2007. This means the engine design rules will change in a positive direction for engine manufacturers implementing SCR. "Why are we going to use SCR to kill NOx? Because everything else the engine makes can be reduced by making combustion more efficient," Saxman says. "By adding SCR to EGR, we can meet the standard so handily that we can actually back off the EGR from EPA '07 levels."
Gary Parsons, global OEM and industry liason manager at Chevron Oronite Co., LLC, believes the transition to SCR could somewhat resemble the adoption of the catalytic converter in the car market in 1975 because "using SCR increases the number of degrees of freedom in what engine designers can do." One example of this, he says, is the fact that having some NOx in the engine exhaust actually helps reduce the need to burn fuel to regenerate the DPF.
Naturally, with DEF having to be pumped in on a continuous basis, it's a commodity like fuel that must be replaced frequently and will cost truck fleets money – about as much per gallon as diesel fuel. Since minimizing the amount of DEF to the predicted 2-5 percent of the amount of fuel will help control the cost of operation, the engine makers will continue with technology that minimizes the NOx coming out of the engine. There will still be EGR, EGR valves, EGR coolers and variable geometry turbos, except in the unusual case of the Detroit Diesel DD15 series of engines (the DD13, -15 and -16 use a turbo-compounding turbine that drives the crankshaft to develop the exhaust system backpressure that forces the exhaust back in, rather than a VG turbo). Exotic fuel-injection systems that divide the traditional single shot of fuel going into several separate shots to reduce NOx also will continue, and Cummins will adopt the XPI common-rail injection system to allow this on their engines for the first time in 2010.
The big difference in 2010 will be that all the exhaust-handling devices won't be working so hard, and neither will the engine. This will allow the engine to be tuned for fuel economy more effectively than it has been for some time. The end result will be lower running costs, even including the DEF, some engine makers say.

Many may believe the Museum in Cooperstown is nothing more than a gallery of plaques. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The 2007 MLB season marked the final campaign for some of the biggest names of the last two decades.
Today, many of those players have taken the first step to Cooperstown by landing on the 2013 Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot.
The BBWAA released the 37-man ballot on Wednesday, and the 600-plus eligible voters have until Dec. 31 to return their ballots. The ballot consists of 24 newcomers plus 13 returning candidates.
To earn a BBWAA Hall of Fame vote, voters must be 10-year BBWAA members who are in good standing in the organization.
COOPERSTOWN, NY – Thousands of baseball fans have already used Facebook to stay connected to their heroes at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. Once again this year, baseball fans can nominate their favorite broadcaster for the Hall of Fame's prestigious Ford C. Frick Award throughout September.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – The question caught Bert Blyleven off guard, but the answer was never in doubt.
Before he even left Cooperstown following his induction to the Hall of Fame, Blyleven was already planning his return trip for Hall of Fame Weekend 2012.
"Somebody asked me if I was coming back next year. Do I even need to answer?" Blyleven said. "I'm coming back every year! It has been a fantastic experience."

Cal Football: True freshmen duo leads Bear Raid offense over Portland State
Cal is a young football team. Head coach Sonny Dykes has alluded to the fact often, and Saturday was another prime example. A pair of true freshmen, Jared Goff and Khalfani Muhammad, were arguably the best players on offense in the Bears' 37-30 victory over Portland State. Goff completed 33 of 51 passes for 485 […] [Read More]

Says Greg Abbott "converted over $1 million in federal grant money intended for use to prosecute online sexual predators and other cyber crimes and instead used it to harass and prosecute senior citizens who were assisting other senior citizens in applying for mail-in ballots."
Says that like Todd Akin, all Texas Republicans in U.S. House cosponsored a bill "that attempts to distinguish between 'forcible rape' and other sexual assaults."
Says state's expected "increase in federal political clout is almost entirely due to the growth of the African American and Hispanic populations in Texas in virtually every region of the state."
"(Pete) Sessions has held at least two fundraisers at adult-themed clubs and made no apologies."

My mother was the reason I was able to move to London. She gave me a gentle push out of the bird nest and on a great, giant bird with wings of metal she let me fly away. But unlike a real bird, I'll always return home because I know my mom and my family will always be waiting for me.

GRAMBLING, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Gentlemen, check your belt lines. Now in the town of Grambling you can be fined for having saggy pants.
Grambling State University drives the local economy, and it's image of a clean, desirable town.
That's why police chief Tommy Clark wants to strengthen the dress code.
Clark says, "after meetings with some elderly citizens who were have lunch at the Church's said it was just irate at some of the scenes they were seeing while they were having lunch."
The younger generation feels like they are being targeted.
Grambling SGA President, Jonathan Allen, says "they're going to be extremely upset."
Allen says the student body will not like this new law.
He says, "many of our students are "saggers." They're young, it is a fashion trend in today's society; especially at Grambling State University, so it's a major concern."
One concern, what is considered sagging?
Clark says, "we're not going to have a tape measure, it's just going to be your natural waste line."
Clark says the first step will be to ask the person to pull their pants up; but if they refuse the police need something in place to enforce it.
He says on the first offense, "it's a maximum of a $150 fine, 15 days in jail, or 24 hours of community service."
It continues to increase from there. On the second offense it's a $250 fine, no more than 30 days in jail, or 48 hours of community service.
The third is no more than $500 dollars, no more than 60 days in jail, or 96 hours of community service.
Clark says this will be a good thing for the city, and for business opportunities.
He says, "we won't have to dress up, we'll already be dressed when they arrive."
The ordinance passed with a 3 to 2 vote, and goes into effect immediately.
Other cities that have passed similar ordnances include Farmerville, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and Alexandria.
The Monroe City Council voted against an ordinance last summer.

I recently made another pilgrimage to the "Town that time forgot" in the midwest. It's a 3-hour drive from St. Louis.

Robert Bobb, emergency financial manager of Detroit Public Schools, during a press conference Tuesday, [said,] "This is a complete indictment of the adult leadership in this district. ... It cannot be attributed to parental shortcomings, real or imagined. It is directly the result of the failure to lead, the failure to manage, failure to establish rigorous academic and strong professional standards."The reaction I'm imagining to this indictment is similar to the "teaching the test" episodes from Season 4 of The Wire.

Found December 27, 2012 on Sports-Glory:
PLAYERS: Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Tomlin, Mike Wallace, Ryan Clark
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger's passing rating and passing yards per game are up from his career average, while his completion rate is the same it's been over his eight year NFL career. But Roethlisberger says its how he's played which has put the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) out of the playoffs. "A lot of it just has to do with me not playing well enough down the stretch," Roethlisberger said via ESPN. "Fourth-quarter drives or last-minute throws, I'm just not making it happen, so my best answer would be that I just didn't play well enough." The Steelers quarterback said he was off this season when the game came down to a late fourth quarter drive. "In the past, I prided myself and us in fourth-quarter comebacks," Roethlisberger said. "I've always said that you don't want to have them, because that means you haven't done well early in the game, but we've always been good at it. And this year, we just weren't. I don't think there's any rhyme or reason why, (but) it was just a year when I wasn't." Roethlisberger has thrown only eight interceptions this season, but six of them came in defeats and four in the fourth quarter or overtime. Coach Mike Tomlin agrees with Roethlisberger that he's "Just not making the critical plays." "Not a lot has changed in terms of structurally for how we prepare for those moments and how we deal with those moments," said Tomlin. "They're not coming together for us, and I'm not going to try to make excuses in that regard." Steelers players still believe in Roethlisberger to lead the team. "The only reason we're in that game is because of his play," safety Ryan Clark said. "The only reason he had an opportunity to throw an interception at the critical moment is because he played so well to keep us close." "I not worried about Ben," tight end Heath Miller said. "He's one of the best quarterbacks in the league -- in my mind, he's still there. And I wouldn't want anybody else to be leading this team."

Oh Claudia, thank you so much for your comments! Its amazing how many of us find ourselves in the same "boat" with regard to our passion and how we are trying to share that passion with others. I feel blessed that I found our "tribe" at Triberr, and look forward to reading all your posts (and commenting) as we continue to share. As our colleagues start to accept social media and realize it is not a short-lived fad, they will be looking to early adopters like yourself for guidance.

Book Description:
In all of literature, there are few books with the vitality of The Golden Ass. The story follows Lucius, a young man of good birth, as he disports himself in the cities and along the roads of Thessaly. This is a wonderful tale abounding in lusty incident, curious adventure and bawdy wit. Robert Graves (1895-1985) was a British poet, novelist, translator, and critic. His many books include the historical novels I, Claudius and Claudius the God, the autobiography Good-bye to All That, and the mythic/literary studies The White Goddess and The Greek Myths. In all of literature there are few books with the vitality of The Golden Ass. Boccaccio borrowed freely from it; and later it served both to amuse and to instruct Cervantes, Fielding, and Smollett. T. E. Lawrence carried it in his saddlebags all through the Arab Revolt, and it was Lawrence who first introduced the book to his friend Robert Graves.The story is about Lucius Apuleius, a young man of good birth, who, while disporting himself in the cities and along the roads of Thessaly, encountered many diverting and strange adventures. Not the least of these was that Apuleius suffered the indignity of being turned into an ass after trying to steal a sorceress's magic. How Apuleius supported his misfortune and how he contrived to dedicate himself to the one goddess who could help him resume his human form make up the body of this tale. The Golden Ass is rich in lusty incident, curious adventure, and bawdy wit. "Robert Graves' translation abandons the aureate latinity of Apuleius for a dry, sharp, plain style—which is itself a small masterpiece of twentieth-century prose."—Kenneth Rexroth, Saturday Review

Partial breast cancer op warning
Re-operation was more likely among women with pre-cancerous disease compared to those with isolated invasive disease. Around 40% of women who had a re-operation underwent a mastectomy. Re-operation rates also varied between NHS trusts - in some trusts re-operation rates were below 10% while in others they were above 30% - but the authors stress that further research is required to understand its cause.
Dr Emma Pennery, clinical director at Breast Cancer Care, said: "Surgery is the first treatment for most people with breast cancer and some people will be offered the choice between a mastectomy and breast conserving surgery. It's really important that women are aware of all the potential benefits and drawbacks when they make this decision so their choice is informed.
Macmillan Cancer Support head of evidence Dr Siobhan McClelland said: "Nobody wants to go through the emotional strain of unnecessary surgery or mastectomies. This is why breast conserving surgery has become more popular.
"But it is essential that oncologists ensure that breast cancer patients are made aware of all of their treatment options and their possible results before any decision is made. However, this should not undermine what the surgeons are doing - it also shows that 80% of breast conserving surgery is successful."

I started the Cto5K today! That stands for Couch to 5K, and it's a basic training plan for people who are couch potatoes, and can train to run 5K in 9 weeks. I did this last summer and didn't really think it would work, I had zero endurance at the beginning but I gradually built that up and the training plan really works! By the end of the 9 weeks I was running 5K in 22 minutes without taking a walking break, and it felt amazing!
Starting it again after so long was a bit tough, but a lot easier than it was originally. I am also in a much different head space than I was then, and I feel a lot more determined to get in shape.
You can find all the information on Cto5K here!
So I began with a brisk 5 minute walking warm up, then intervals of running for 60s and walking for 90s, for a total of 25 minutes. Altogether that was 8 minutes of running and 17 minutes of walking. This is the plan for week 1 (Mon, Wed, Fri) and I will be doing other exercise throughout the week. Next week it will be a bit harder!
