Spay/Neuter and Vaccinate a Street Dog in India
Roll over image to zoom in
Despite some of the strictest animal welfare laws in the world, thanks to its ancient spiritual philosophy of ahimsa (non-harming), India teems with animals on its streets, particularly dogs. With each litter born on the streets, canine overpopulation worsens, leading to malnutrition, untreated injuries, and the spread of disease, especially rabies.
Vishaka Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (VSPCA) works to reduce the overpopulation of street dogs. In cooperation with the local government, VSPCA vaccinates against rabies and spays or neuters loose dogs. VSPCA's veterinarians use sterile techniques, pre- and post-operation pain control, and gas anesthesia when possible.
Unlike pet dogs which owners bring in and take home after the operation, street dogs need to be humanely caught and kept for several days while they heal from their surgery, then brought back to the same place for release. This is a very specific practice that has to be done absolutely right -- dogs haphazardly released into the wrong neighborhood can be killed by other resident dogs.
VSPCA's program is one of the most advanced in India, and sterilizes an average of 40 dogs a day when operated by four veterinarians. All these dogs are vaccinated against rabies, and their ears are notched for identification and protection.
VSPCA is a growing and struggling operation that also provides emergency animal care and shelter. No other similar services for injured street animals exist in the area.
You can help VSPCA in its vital work. This Gift That Gives More™ vaccinates and spays/neuters a street dog in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
Report from the Field
October, 2011
668 more operations is a good thing when each one spays or neuters a street dog in India! Getting the population to a sustainable level of healthy, altered, and vaccinated dogs not only increases living standards for the dogs, but also decreases the spread of rabies among both dogs and people, and improves the dogs' standing among the local population. Donors like you have helped make this possible over the last year — thank you for continuing to work toward a better future for India's street dogs!
Report from the Field
In June we made a special appeal to donors to contribute at the $1 level to combat a very serious rabies outbreak in Andhra Pradesh, and you responded. By late summer, VSPCA had vaccinated more than 12,000 dogs. In addition, VSPCA has started a new training program for dog catchers, teaching them how to use a more humane "butterfly net" method that is less frightening and harmful to the dogs than the standard pole-and-noose method previously used. VSPCA hopes to make this program a model for training in other Indian states. VSPCA has been working hard since 1996 to spay/neuter and vaccinate dogs to prevent the suffering of unwanted puppies and lessen the number of community dogs on the streets. Thank you for your compassion! The dedicated and tireless staff at VSPCA sends their heartfelt gratitude.
VSPCA provides employment for over 40 people from the surrounding villages, including many women working outside their homes for the first time. Its no-kill shelter compound is eco-friendly, transforming cattle dung into usable energy and making use of vermiculture and intelligent water storage techniques. VSPCA receives no grant funding for any of its wildlife projects, and relies on direct donations and support.

Board of Trustees
The Wright State University Board of Trustees consists of nine community members, appointed by the governor, who dedicate a significant portion of their lives to championing the future successes of the university.
A new member is appointed each year to replace a retiring board member. Throughout their term, trustees are entrusted to make decisions and approve policies that support the vision and mission of the university. Furthermore, the board ensures we are accountable to our students, faculty, staff, alumni, community partners, and local, state, and federal government officials.
In addition to the nine voting members, the Board of Trustees includes two student members, also appointed by the governor to two-year terms, who serve as a voice of the student body in university matters.

Goals: Able 1 was to orbit the Moon for about 2 weeks at an altitude of 29,000 km (18,000 miles). It carried an infrared television system to study the Moon's surface, a microphone to detect any micrometeorites striking the spacecraft, a magnetometer and temperature sensors to record the spacecraft's internal conditions.
Accomplishments: None. The mission failed when the launch vehicle exploded 77 seconds after launch at an altitude of 15.2 km (9.4 miles) above Earth's surface. It splashed into the Atlantic ocean about 2 minutes later. The mission has come to be known as Pioneer 0.

"Great Battles" Evening Lecture
The First Crusade: Three Battles for Latin Christendom
From 1096 to 1101, over 100,000 people from all over Western Europe set off towards Jerusalem. These men and women, these warriors and pilgrims, priests and nuns, lords and laborers, didn't have a name for what they were doing—no one would use the word Crusade to describe an armed pilgrimage, or holy military expedition, until more than another century had passed. Yet the battle that preceded their march, a battle along the way to Jerusalem, and still another after that city was conquered by a tiny remnant of the original force, combined to permanently reshape the nature (both spiritual and physical) of Catholic Europe. Dr. Jessica Goldberg, Assistant Professor, Medieval History, University of Pennsylvania, speaks at this "Great Battles: Moments in Time that Changed History" series lecture program. Admission with advance registration: $5, general public; $2, Penn Museum members; $10 at the door based on availability.

By the way, you seem to be using FamFam icons. You should give credit, where credit is due!
Where? I looked over the various images and the screencast, and don't see any of those. I like to think myself an expert since I spent quite some time pouring over the various FamFamFam Silk icons while writing JottiQ, which uses those icons, and all in all I think the Silk icon set is a lot more polished in my eyes than whatever Auspex seems to be using. (Then again, sadly enough, Silk is also over-used so maybe that's really a good thing.)

Work is obviously something that Loretta Lynn, at 76 years old, still enjoys.
The country icon plans to play the Opry Country Classics show Sept. 30 in promotion of her new single "Coal Miner's Daughter," a team-up with Miranda Lambert and Sheryl Crow. The song is from forthcoming tribute album Coal Miner's Daughter: A Tribute To Loretta Lynn, which features a list of big, genre-spanning names performing Lynn's songs.
The singer personally selected the artists she wanted on the tribute, and Crow, Lambert, Steve Earle, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Kid Rock, Martina McBride, Allison Moorer, Paramore, Carrie Underwood, The White Stripes, Lucinda Williams, Gretchen Wilson and Lee Ann Womack all made the cut.
Fans can look for the album in stores on Nov. 9. Those who want to see Lynn live on the Opry show Sept. 30 can pick up tickets ($42-$54 for adults and $32 for children) by calling 871-OPRY or visiting www.opry.com.

I am pretty experienced with networking devices together, and if you plug this in directly to your router you're probably OK. For the life of me this thing does not work over Wifi setup, which defeats the purpose of it being wireless. Avoid this and instead just get a bluetooth speaker or something...

Porphyrins, Quantitative, Random, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The porphyrias are a group of inherited disorders resulting from enzyme defects in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Depending on the specific enzyme involved, various porphyrins and their precursors accumulate in different specimen types. The patterns of porphyrin accumulation in erythrocytes and plasma and excretion of the heme precursors in urine and feces allow for the detection and differentiation of the porphyrias.
The porphyrias are typically classified as erythropoietic or hepatic based upon the primary site of the enzyme defect. In addition, hepatic porphyrias can be further classified as chronic or acute, based on their clinical presentation.
The primary acute hepatic porphyrias: acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), hereditary coproporphyria (HCP), and variegate porphyria (VP), are associated with neurovisceral symptoms which typically onset during puberty or later. Common symptoms include severe abdominal pain, peripheral neuropathy, and psychiatric symptoms. Crises may be precipitated by a broad range of medications (including barbiturates and sulfa drugs), alcohol, infection, starvation, heavy metals, and hormonal changes. Photosensitivity is not associated with AIP, but may be present in HCP and VP.
Cutaneous photosensitivity is associated with the chronic hepatic porphyrias: porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) and the erythropoietic porphyrias; erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), X-linked dominant protoporphyria (XLDPP), and congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP). Although genetic in nature, environmental factors may exacerbate symptoms, significantly impacting the severity and course of disease.
CEP is an erythropoietic porphyria caused by uroporphyrinogen III synthase deficiency. Symptoms typically present in early infancy with red-brown staining of diapers, severe cutaneous photosensitivity with fluid-filled bullae and vesicles. Other common symptoms may include thickening of the skin, hypo- and hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, cutaneous scarring, and deformities of the fingers, eyelids, lips, nose, and ears. A few milder adult-onset cases have been documented as well as cases that are secondary to myeloid malignancies.
PCT is the most common form of porphyria and is most commonly sporadic (acquired) but in about 25% of cases it is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The most prominent clinical characteristics are cutaneous photosensitivity and scarring on sun-exposed surfaces. Patients experience chronic blistering lesions resulting from mild trauma to sun-exposed areas. These fluid-filled vesicles rupture easily, become crusted, and heal slowly. Secondary infections can cause areas of hypo- or hyperpigmentation or sclerodermatous changes and may result in the development of alopecia at sites of repeated skin damage. Liver disease is common in patients with PCT as evidenced by abnormal liver function tests and with 30% to 40% of patients developing cirrhosis. In addition, there is an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (HEP) is observed when an individual inherits PCT from both parents. Patients exhibit a similar clinical presentation to what is seen in CEP.
In addition, porphyrinuria may result from exposure to certain drugs and toxins or other medical conditions (ie, hereditary tyrosinemia type I). Heavy metals, halogenated solvents, various drugs, insecticides, and herbicides can interfere with heme production and cause "intoxication porphyria." Chemically, the intoxication porphyrias are characterized by increased excretion of, uroporphyrin and/or coproporphyrin in urine.
The workup of patients with a suspected porphyria is most effective when following a stepwise approach. See Porphyria (Acute) Testing Algorithm and Porphyria (Cutaneous) Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions or contact Mayo Medical Laboratories to discuss testing strategies.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Preferred test during symptomatic periods for acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, and variegate porphyria
Preferred test to begin assessment for congenital erythropoietic porphyria and porphyria cutanea tarda
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Abnormal results are reported with a detailed interpretation which may include an overview of the results and their significance, a correlation to available clinical information provided with the specimen, differential diagnosis, recommendations for additional testing when indicated and available, and a phone number to reach 1 of the laboratory directors in case the referring physician has additional questions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Porphobilinogen (PBG) and porphyrins are susceptible to degradation at high temperature, at pH <5.0, and exposure to light.
Neither erythropoietic protoporphyria nor X-linked dominant protoporphyria are detected utilizing urine porphyrins and PBG measurements.
Ethanol and a variety of medications are known to interfere with heme synthesis leading to elevations in urine porphyrins, particularly coproporphyrin. Coproporphyrin elevation without concomitant PBG elevation should not be used as the basis for the diagnosis of porphyria, but may warrant follow-up testing with fecal porphyrin analysis.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
UROPORPHYRINS (octacarboxyl)
< or =30 nmol/L
< or =7 nmol/L
< or =2 nmol/L

The Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association released its playoff pairings for the high school basketball playoffs on Sunday.
The top four seeds in each region are awarded based on team's performances during the regular season. After that, however, it is left to a random draw, which was held Sunday morning.
The randomness usually leads to some intriguing first-round games.
For example, two of the stronger boys teams in the Prince George's County 3A/2A/1A League face off in the first round. Central (13-7), which earned a top four seed, plays host to Largo (12-9) in the first round of the 2A South Region tournament. Those two teams finished second and third in the league standings behind Potomac, which was awarded the top seed in the 3A South Region.
Girls games are scheduled to begin Friday. Boys games are scheduled to begin on Feb. 26. State championship games are planned for March 16.

Under the leadership of a stellar, energetic faculty, the school's rigorous, interdisciplinary program focuses on the law as an expression of social values and an instrument for implementing social goals. USC is known for its diverse student body, its leadership in clinical education, and its tight-knit alumni network composed of national leaders in the legal profession, business, and the public sector. With approximately 185-190 J.D. students and 125-150 graduate international students in each class, the school is small, informal, and collegial.

Spiritual Being Having a Human Experience,
This conversation is closed.
Do you believe in extraterrestrial life?
I know I do!
Just a fun topic I enjoy.
Does it matter if there is extraterrestrial life?
Would this change the way you look at this world?
If there was extraterrestrial life without a doubt, maybe instead of having pride in our own separate countries, we would have pride as a planet together as one, or even take pride in our galaxy.
. .
Jan 6 2013: Dear Haley, I love your idea of us acquiring a unified Earthling identity and sharing the attitude of living in a way that "we would have pride as a planet together as one".

It is hard to believe -not to mention arrogant- that in this incomprehensibly vast Omniverse, we would be the only life form.
http://www.ted.com/talks/sean_carroll_distant_time_and_the_hint_of_a_multiverse.htmlJan 6 2013: Anyone who denies E.T is going to be very disturbed in the next few years....
Lets see... Russia, U.K and France release UFO files
UFO sightings daily... around the world...
Most S. American countries swear to their existence
Ancient Astronaut Theorist only developing further and further proof...
I would say to deny E.T existing.... is easy. It's easy to be afraid of not being the most sophisticated species.. It's scary to imagine us as the ants on the ant hill or the animals in the cage at the zoo...
Rather than fear the unknown, we should get angry and strive to compete in universal events and not merely earthly matters.
Sri Vatsan
Dec 27 2012: Math says yes.
- +1
but we don't have the evidence to back it up.
For now it doesn't matter if ET life exists or not because we have no proof and no means of disproving it as well.
So its just a matter of choosing to believe in it.
Some believe in ET life, and this makes them happy, gives them a different perspective on life.Some say that they won't believe it till they see it.
But as long as there is no solid evidence to prove or disprove this theory, both views are acceptable.
Yes I think if it is proven without doubt then human beings would take pride in their planet.Dec 17 2012: to put that in some perspective
in our galaxy alone there are some hundred billion stars. that is, for every human being, we could hand out dozens of stars. if you wanted to visit all of them, you should visit 100 stars every second of your life.
in the visible universe, we have some hundred billion galaxies. some are as small as ten million stars, some are beasts with a hundred trillion. ours is quite average. we don't know how big the universe is. it can go on forever, for all we know.
that totals somewhere in the sextillion range. if every single man living today started to count stars one per second, it would take the time of the entire written human history multiple times to count them all.
just in our own solar system, we have 3 bodies that can host earth-like biochemistry. one would of course be the earth, the other two are europa and enceladus. we don't know if they actually host life. they pretty much can. some suspects that gas giants and ice giants also can harbor life. we have four of them at home. mars and venus are also candidates for having life in their past.Dec 17 2012: If we're lucky we might find out on the 21st when they show up to rescue us from the end of the world ;-)
Oh and Yes, we may be the most self centred species on the planet but even we must admit it would be highly unlikely for all those other planets to be completely empty.
greg dahlen
Dec 16 2012: No, I don't believe in it. If I knew there was extraterrestrial life, I'd want to know how they did things, because maybe we could learn from the way they did things. Then again, they'd probably have as many problems on their own damn planet as we have on ours.Dec 16 2012: Hi Haley:>)
- +1
Yes....I absolutely believe there is other life "out there". Considering the vastness of our known universe, and suspecting that there is even more beyond what we know about, I cannot realistically believe that there is not more life...probably in many different forms:>) Whether or not there is, in fact, other life forms does not change the way I look at this life experience. I am here...now....and that is the important piece for me. I like that idea....take pride in our galaxy.....nice! Even the military released a report several years ago, indicating that they have records of sightings of UFOs for years back:>)
BTW, years ago, I experienced a NDE/OBE, which gave me a peek at the bigger picture:>)
Roy Bourque
Dec 16 2012: I do believe in extraterrestrial life. The law of probability is overwhelming given the number of worlds that exist in the universe.
- +1
I am skeptical that extraterrestrial life has ever visited this planet, although I am open to the possibility. I doubt that it could have come here in physical form if it has come at all. I have had spiritual experiences and I believe that there are other dimensions that we have not explored. They exist outside of the realm of our physical senses.
I believe that our belief about ourselves would be challenged if we discovered life exists elsewhere, hopefully in a good way.
I don't know about the pride thing. But I believe that we would come to the realization that there is so much more for us to learn. It would be a very humbling experience to me.
Ken brown
Dec 15 2012: Yes but i just don't know what form it will be in and the general consensus doesn't mean that it will be what we think it will be. If we are talking about I.E.L's then i don't think it would be worth their time and resource expenditure to get back what? Peace,love and harmony? Life utilizes resources available to it's continued existence but you don't see us trying to fast track our hominid cousins to our level and expect their adored adulation, if anything they will be put to work.
- +1
The only resource this planet has is it's oceans. We could be a organic resource as pet food?
Or we could be just not worth it.
What do we have to offer?
Dec 16 2012: Maybe "Peace, love and harmony" are more valuable than we are led to believe. We've been 'schooled' into a restricted mindset by a very few top-ranking elite about what we should value. It does not take a large leap to make sweeping changes that come with paradigm shifts. I think peace, love and harmony could go a long long way.
Any alien advanced of us will likely have a sustainable manufactured food source, as we're probably nearing it ourselves; that's IF they are a form of life at all. They may be mechanical.
As for resource expediture, maybe they have much more efficient tech; meaning it's actually very little cost (or travel time) to get here.
Dec 16 2012: I use to be of this line of thought too and when you look around at all the hopers for I.E.L contact this is the general consensus. Peace,love and harmony but there's a problem with this.....why? What would this exchange of "Energy" be for these beings? Does it go off to the great central white light singularity in the center of the multiverse where all spiritual and spirit energies go? A returning back to the source? Or is it an exchange of life energies that will sustain each other? What built in system do we have that can absorb and parcel out this energy to the body? So if these beings are creatures of Peace, Love and Harmony, wouldn't they require a heavier dose of it than we would or could hope to give back in return? What of the balance?
Your post is what most people think and then there is the other group that think we are an experiment, this goes for religious as well as some who are not religious. Some believe that the little grey men are artificial lifeforms that has been left here to observe,report and guide or not to guide the planets organic systems for the real I.E.L's that don't need to travel anywhere as they get instant updates through their communication system that they set up a long long time ago....Absurd? Why travel when you've reached a level of sophistication where you've automated everything.
How long have we been thinking there is a paradigm shift coming? and when it comes will it be a flourishing of peace that everyone will feel across the planet and give voice to it to strengthen the wave? So when this happens, do you think this will be the time when all the flying saucers hovering around in and out of our atmosphere will drop their cloaks and decide this is what they were waiting for and welcome us into the federation?
Man has written about a paradigm shift for a lot longer than most people think but i tend to think that the shift isn't a shift but just one constant shifting towards what we hope for.
Dec 26 2012: "What would this exchange of 'Energy' be for these beings?"
"Giving" (Not getting or even exchanging.) This would be a paradigm shift (& paradigm shifts have happened - why not think they might happen again? Why not think they might happen because we think they might happen‽)Dec 16 2012: What do we have to offer?
Dec 26 2012: "What do we have to offer [them in return]?" is merely where the question starts and stops - if their paradigm is one of giving.Dec 14 2012: I do believe in extraterrestrial life. With as many galaxies as there seem to be in the universe, the possibilities of at least one and probably thousands of equivalent earth-like environments exists. I also believe that we have already made contact with intelligent life from other planets. There are signs on the earth that identify things that could only be seen from high above the surface, that cannot be explained easily as the product of a long-defunct civilization from this planet. An intelligent life form probably would not make itself broadly known, for the simple reason that it would alter so much in our own development. I reconcile this belief also with a belief in God.

I think my answer is "Yes".The universe is so giant. I don's think human would be the most unique creature in this big big world. As we all know, many things in the universe could find something bigger or smaller that are similar to themselves and the same applies to human.
If there's no extraterrestrial life, we are so lonely.
Barry Palmer
Dec 14 2012: Yes.
- +1
I think we will one day find clear evidence of extraterrestrial life, in some basic form. If there is such life in our solar system, we could discover this within the next few decades. If there is no other life in the solar system, this discovery will likely take centuries.
I also think it is very unlikely that we will ever encounter extraterrestrial intelligent life.
We now know that Earth is very special in many specific ways, and that the evolution of life over billions of years has many specific requirements. The percentage of planets (or moons) with all of these requirements must be very small. Also, even with ideal conditions, the evolution of intelligent life is not destined, but largely a matter of luck. So I suspect that the nearest intelligent life is so far away that we will never have any evidence of it whatsoever. This is just my guess, but it seems reasonable.
Finding extraterrestrial life will not change the way I look at this world, but I think it could have a huge impact on many people.Jan 13 2013: I defiantly believe in extraterrestrials. I find it hard to believe that we are the only planet with life! The universe is massive there just has to be something else out there.Dec 27 2012: From an abiogensis perspective I believe the odds are NOT in favor of sentient life beyond our own.
From a faith perspective, I don't know.
Lejan .
Dec 17 2012: The building blocks of the universe are the building blocks of life itself. And as we leave narrow geocentric, heliocentric or religious views on this universe, extraterrestrial life becomes a matter of believe only, because of the vast distances which makes it difficult to gather evidence.
- 0
Thinking of quadrillions of stars - which our minds are unable to grasp - and even more orbiting and 'invisible' planets, it seems just arrogant and uninspired to me to think, that life on earth would be the only life in the whole universe.
'Would this change the way you look at this world?'
No, why? The 'pride in our own separate countries' you describe is not caused by a collective feeling of 'isolation', so having evidence 'without a doubt' would not change the way 'we' treat each other on this tiny planet.
Dec 17 2012: We do like to think we're special don't we? At least we don't think we're the centre of the universe anymore, and some of us are realising that we're not really all that special compared to other life on earth. How are we going to cope when we find out that there are millions of other intelligent lifeforms and most of them are smarter than we are.
Lejan .
Dec 18 2012: You are right! And I don't really understand why 'we' are this way. In psychology this overdose of self-esteem would probably be diagnosed as megalomania - and there are many other indicators that 'we' suffer from it. I can understand if a fife year old wants to be in the center of the universe, but a whole grown up species? We can't even live in peace on our planet yet claim to be 'the measure of all things'... Pretty weird for my understanding of knowing ones place ... :o)Dec 18 2012: Peter and Lejan,
- +1
THANKFULLY, some of us realize that we may not be so special compared to other life forms. I'm thinking of dolphins, elephants, and even dogs, now are suspected of being more intelligent than humans!
Good question Peter..."How are we going to cope when we find out that there are millions of other intelligent lifeforms and most of them are smarter than we are."?
I suggest practicing kindness and respect for ALL life that we KNOW at this time. Then when we have the opportunity to meet the "super beings" who/which might be WAY MORE INTELLIGENT than anything we think we know, we might be prepared to accept them/it with kindness and respect, rather than trying to fight against them/it?Dec 14 2012: No.

If I named ten extensions I am the biggest fan of, WOT Web of Trust would be on that exclusive list.
Why? They provide a great service to the public, helping organize the public to alert itself about risky web site. The real power in WOT isn't the tools, it is the users. It is the perfect mash up of the right tools, at the right time. Anything that is simple to use, and makes users more aware of the risks around them is a good thing. With that said, I wanted to talk a little more about the service with one of the people behind the magic, Esa Suurio, the CEO of Web of Trust.
What was the main inspiration behind the WOT Web of Trust add-on for Firefox?
Esa: The company was founded in 2006 by two postgraduate students, Timo Ala-Kleemola and Sami Tolvanen, both M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering. Timo and Sami graduated from Tampere University of Technology (Finland) where they had met and studied together. Sami got the idea while researching reputation systems for his doctoral thesis. He originally planned on using it as a part of an Internet messaging system, but decided to try if it would work for websites too, and it did.
The guys put WOT on the Internet and it started to grow without any marketing, which clearly tells that there is a need for this kind of service.
Where did the name, Web of Trust, come from?
Esa: The name highlights that we are a people-driven service. The nature of Internet is open. No single authority can decide what is good and what is bad – neither has the resources to do so. We wanted to create a common platform for people to share their experience on websites and the services they offer. If unreliable sites were known to people, their lives would be short-lived.
There is no doubt that community is the most important part of your service. What advice would you have to other add-ons or business looking to build a community around their own product?
Esa: We truly are a community-driven service. For example, when we develop our software, we ask our users what new functions they would like to have added. We read very carefully all the feedback we get from our users and use it as our guideline when we develop Web of Trust further. In our case it's "product around the community" and not vice versa. The community members need to see that the systems gives them real value – I think that's what make some communities grow.
We value our members and their contribution – for example, we just gave out Web of Trust Publicity Awards 2008 for users who have helped us to spread the word about WOT.
I'll say in my personal opinion, I was happy to see you guys come along after an add-on that might be in the same category, SiteAdvisor, kind of got a lot worse after being picked up by McAfee. What is Web of Trust doing to make sure they don't get too watered down?
Esa: SiteAdvisor is a great service and they are fighting on the same side with us. What makes Web of Trust different is the fact that our website ratings are based mainly on ratings coming from our users. This enables us to be faster and more accurate than computerized testing services. Internet fraud can often be only detected by a human person. Lets take an example: One of the latest trend of security threats against Internet users employs software products which pretend to be security tools that help you remove spyware or viruses. These fake anti-malware products scare users by giving false alarms and then try to deceive users into paying for removal of non-existing malware.
When these threats started to emerge last year, WOT was the first system to warn users about them, thanks to our active users who rated these sites. The quality of WOT website ratings has improved as our community has grown, so we definitely are on the right track.
Are you guys working on any spin-off or side projects right now or is your main focus still on Web of Trust.
Web of Trust is our main focus. There is so much to do. We are certainly not going to stop here – the journey has just begun.

If your partner has entered an intervention program for batterers, you're probably hopeful that he will change. It's important to know that there are no miracle cures for his violence - he is the only one who can make the decision to change. This section will give you information about what is an appropriate program, what signs to watch for in your partner, and what to do if you think you may still be in danger of being abused.
There are no guarantees that any program will work; everything depends on your partner's motivation and willingness to change. Some programs are more appropriate than others. Those programs use the following standards:
Safety is the first priority.
Programs should always assess your safety when communicating with you. A program should never disclose information that you have given them without your permission. A program should not misrepresent its ability to change his behavior. A program's definition of success is the quality of your and your children's lives, starting with safety.
Lasts long enough.
Change takes time. The longer the program, the more opportunities he will have to make the choice to change. A year or more in a program is preferable, although that is not always possible.
Holds him accountable.
The first step of accountability is that he takes responsibility for choosing to use violence to maintain power and control over you. A program should recognize that his behavior is the "problem" and not allow him to use your behavior as an excuse. Programs should hold him accountable for attendance, participation, and complying with the group's rules. (You can get a copy of the rules by calling the program.) The curriculum gets to the root of his belief system.The content of the program is set up to challenge his underlying belief system that he has the right to control, dominate, and abuse you. Programs that address anger, communication skills, and/or stress do not get to the root of his belief system.
Makes no demands on you to participate.
You're not the one making the choice to be violent, so the program should not require that you be involved in any way. Don't let anyone lead you to believe that his progress is dependent upon your participation.
Is open to your input.
If you initiate contact with the program to ask questions or give input you think may be useful, a program should welcome your participation. This is different from requiring you to participate. Sometimes, a program may initiate contact with you to discuss your partner's behavior outside the program. You should not feel obligated to share information, especially if you feel it might create a risk of further violence against you.
Positive signs include:
Changing Attitudes, Beliefs, and BehaviorsAbusers have beliefs and attitudes that support their choice to use violence, such as: men are superior, women are possessions of men, and violence is an acceptable way to get what they want. The program should be reinforcing an egalitarian belief system and that violent behavior is a choice and the batterer's responsibility. Batterers must be confronted about their use of all types of abusive behaviors (i.e., emotional and verbal assaults, abusing pets, destroying property, withholding money or access to money; stalking, and other behaviors) that can terrify or intimidate victims and their families. Batterers need to learn that there is no excuse for any abusive behavior - and that it is never the victim's fault.
Achieving Equality in RelationshipsThe program should help batterers come up with long-term strategies for achieving the mutual respect, trust, and support that is necessary to maintain a relationship free of abuse. It should also help them develop long-term plans for sharing responsibility with their partners in areas such as family finances and parenting.
Community ParticipationIt is important that the program help the batterer understand that he has committed a crime against the community. He can acknowledge his violence by discussing his efforts to change with friends or co-workers, referring other men who are abusive to the program, and making sincere amends for past offenses (such as replacing destroyed or stolen property).
Venting Is Not OK Techniques and therapies like pillow-punching or primal-screaming are NOT appropriate for abusers. They tend to reinforce, rather than discourage, violent behavior. These techniques should not be a part of any intervention program.
A Call from the ProgramA batterer intervention program should alert you if it is clear from your partner's behavior in the program that you are in danger. While most programs have confidentiality policies that prevent them from telling you specifically what he has discussed in group meetings, they are obligated to warn you if they believe any immediate danger exists. If you get a call from them about this, take it seriously.
Couples Counseling Won't Stop His ViolenceYour partner may try to get you to go to couples counseling, telling you that you both have a problem and should work on it together. Couples counseling is never appropriate when one partner is choosing to use violence against the other. You do not have a "relationship" problem that needs to be addressed - he is using violence and coercion to get what he wants. Couples counseling can only work when both partners feel free to express their issues, concerns and desires freely. If one partner exerts power and control over the other, there is no basis for counseling that is free from fear and intimidation.
Your partner's abusive behavior is rooted in a desire to control you, and that pattern isn't going to change overnight. He may no longer be violent, but he may still try to exert control by manipulating you into doing what he wants. Here are some common manipulative behaviors:
You may be so hopeful for change that you want to believe him, even if things don't feel any different. But trust your instincts. If you don't feel safe, then chances are you're not.
If you hear your partner making statements like these while he is in a program, you need to understand that he is lying to you.
These statements have one thing in common: they let him off the hook for his choice to use abusive behavior. Remember, he needs to be willing to accept responsibility for his violence in order to change.
If you feel that you will be safer away from your partner while he is in an intervention program, you have every right to leave. Even if you leave, you must understand that his participation in the program is no guarantee that he will not be a threat to you. The risk that he may be violent toward you may even increase when you leave. For your own safety and the safety of your children, watch for these warning signs in the way he behaves toward you while he is in the program.
Tries to find you if you've left. He may try to get information from your family and friends about your whereabouts, either by threatening them or trying to get their sympathy.
Tries to get you to come back to him. He may do anything to get you to come back - if promising to change and being charming or contrite don't work, his efforts could then escalate to threats and violence.
Tries to take away the children. He may try to kidnap the children as a way of forcing you to stay with him.
Stalks you. If you always seem to run into him when you are on your way to work, running errands, or out with your friends, or if you receive lots of mysterious phone calls, he could be stalking you.
If you have any reason to believe you may be at risk for abuse while your partner is in a program, there are several things you can do to try to increase your safety:

Hello everyone! Hope your week is going well. Those who have been to KidsTown this past week have seen the scaffolding that went from KidsTown floor all the way up to the fourth floor. We had a team of people using the scaffolding to place tint on all of our windows. This will help us to keep KidsTown and other places in the building cooler during the warmer parts of the year and will also help us to conserve energy.
As most of you may have experienced, this week has not been one of our warmer parts of the year, it has been quite chilly. Now is a good time to talk about what happens when things cool down or even freeze. What is the freezing point of water? How are snowflakes formed? What conditions are required to have snow fall? Why is it that we do not have usually have snow in Florida?
Here are some fun activities to do as you explore these questions: www.sciencekids.co.nz/experiments/snowflake.html and www.dltk-holidays.com/winter/3dsnowflakes.htm.

Milliner is the partner Smith needs to take his game to the next level. Milliner and Smith would be an awesome pair. In my mocks I take Banks... if Milliner falls to use I think I would do a dance.
With how deep the receivers are I think we have to take this guy if he is there at 12 even if Patterson is there (That is assuming we get either Wallace or Jennings in FA).
I would **** in my pants if Millner is there, but at the same time if he is there we could get tons of trade partners. In fact if Millner is there at 11 I could see someone leapfrog us knowing well that we need a DB.
It's a no-brainer, I would think, if Milliner gets to #12. I doubt that happens, but I'd be happy with Banks and I think right now that's the best possibility.
Thats the 1st thing I thought of when I saw this. Watch him be there at 12 and Ireland take an offensive lineman....UGHHHHHHHH!
---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------
A lot of people have Xavier Rhoades ahead of Banks in their Mocks. I watched a lot of SEC Football and Banks can play, but I hear Rhoades is the more Physical Corner.
Milliner is nice but the guy I have my eye on in the second is Jordan Poyer. I would be more than ok with taking both. I think he's the best all around DB but he played for Oregon State (who didn't do too bad).

Not a chance!!!
I think him falling to #12 is a pipe dream, BUT I've seen stranger things happen in the past

That looks like what you'll need.
I recently purchased a Coolmate 3 and hooked it up to my Dynasty 200DX. I used the consumer resources available for free at www.arc-zone.com.
To find the hook up directions for your torch:
1. Click on Tig Torches
2. Click on the applicable torch
3. Click on Getting Started button
4. Click on International Dinse-Style Hook Up Instructions
The schematic provided showing how the torch is hooked up correctly to the power source and cooler really helped me connect everything the right way.
The people at Arc Zone are really helpful.
Hopes this helps.

Boy if a guy was to buy all that fancy gear and get it home and have to try and figure out what you need to make it tick . I'd have to say find another salesmen or maybe I just expect to much.

So after the NYC stop, Brandon and I drove up to Boston to see a game at Fenway.
We took in this destruction: Orioles at Red Sox
Here are some pictures that I took from my seat (it was pretty good, I was behind home plate):
I also took a short video from my seat that panned from right field to left field: Fenway video
We got up bright and early Monday morning to make the 4+ hour drive from Boston, MA to Cooperstown, NY to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. We arrived around 2 PM today and spent a few hours in the museum – it closed at 5 PM – before leaving to get some dinner. We're staying at a nearby hotel, then we'll head back to the museum for a few hours tomorrow before driving down to NYC to see the 7:05 PM BOS-NYY game. It's Randy Johnson against Josh Beckett and it's Sox-Yankees in Yankee Stadium… I'm not sure if baseball gets much better than that for an early May game.
Anyway, here are some pictures of the Hall of Fame:

I have always proposed my "BIPA" method of drafting, which means "Best Impact Player Available". In a nutshell, this means picking the guy that will have the MOST IMPACT to your team. You look at all the available players, and you choose the one that will impact your team the greatest. And that person is not always the BPA. It is a combination of BPA and need, in the most efficient compination of such.
Take an example, if Barkley slid all the way down to the bottom of RD1, I would say there is a good chance that he would be considered the BPA by most. But, I guarantee you that neither the Ravens nor the 49'ers would pick him. Why? Because he might be the BPA at that point, but they would get more "bang for buck" by drafting more towards needs and upcoming holes on their roster, hence the BIPA.
Good draft but question, do you have Hartline staying? Also assuming we get Jennings the depth chart would look like; 1. Jennings 2. Hartline 3. Patterson 4. Bess 5. Bailey 6. Matthews/Binns which is a definite upgrade.
I'm usually all for the BPA mantra but this team cannot score points at all! When are we going to have more than one or two 30 point games in a season around here? Our offense blows, and has blown for almost 15-20 years. Draft the hell out of playmakers at WR, TE, RB......everything else is secondary....even the secondary is secondary.
Until we can score, we won't win. Draft offense heavy...let's take some risks for once.
The Falcons D was average (still is)...yet they went out and got Gonzalez - then later traded up for Julio. No they aren't in the Superbowl but since they drafted their QB, they have done much better than we have.
Screw the BPA stuff right now...go get some ballers that can score for Tanny.
Mathieu isn't lasting that long...high 3rd max. Remember janoris Jenkins...
It's an interesting concept because I typically see the label of "boom-or-bust" a little differently than most people. For example, I don't see Tank Carridine as much of a boom-or-bust player at all. Nor Stedman Bailey.
Cordarrelle Patterson is a boom-or-bust player in some ways. But only relative to price tag. He has a skill set that will see him playing football in the NFL for a long time, even if he doesn't end up very good. Think Ted Ginn. Six years later, Ted Ginn is playing in the Super Bowl. But overall, I see what people mean about Patterson being boom-or-bust so I'll accept it.
Let me try one. But I'm not basing it on CBS' projections because I feel they're pretty far off on a lot of players.
R1. DE Barkevious Mingo, LSU - A little more "bust" than "boom", IMO...but he exemplifies "boom or bust" because he's a fairly one-dimensional pass rusher whose one dimension is not very well proven and seems to have come up short on Saturdays more often than not.
R2. WR Terrance Williams, Baylor - He is a guy I like but the fact of the matter is, if he does not end up a consistent vertical threat at the next level, then he is in trouble as a wide receiver. His all-around game is decent for the kind of deep threat player he is, but not good enough to make a living. You're buying him because you think he can get behind defenses and finish deep plays.
R2. G/T Oday Aboushi, Virginia - Oday is definitely not going to play left tackle at the next level and there's a fair question whether he'll even play right tackle. This means you're stuck switching him to guard and considering his lack of experience there, what you could come out with is an entirely uninteresting player, or a guy that kills it. Total wildcard.
R3. RB Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina - This is the REAL injury-related "boom or bust" player in this Draft, not Tank Carridine, IMO. Lattimore's knee injury was as gruesome as I've ever seen. Yet, James Andrews calls his recovery rate from it "Nothing short of a miracle". Do you believe Andrews? Well, he certainly called it right on Drew Brees' shoulder when he gave him a prognosis of full recovery, even as critics said Brees had a 20-25% chance of recovery. When Lattimore was healthy you could argue he was the best tailback in college football bar none.
R3. DE Margus Hunt, Southern Methodist - The ultimate "boom or bust" prospect. Unbelievable physical tangibles, but in the form of a 26 year old that disappears against good competition, is inconsistent and still raw because he's only been playing football a few years.
R4. FS Baccari Rambo, Georgia - Rambo is your typical "boom or bust" player in the secondary because he makes a LOT of plays (16 career interceptions, 6 forced fumbles, 3 TDs and a Blocked Kick)...but he also takes a lot of chances and gives up big plays, and does some stupid things on the field sometimes. He plays like a punk. But a talented punk.
R5. TE Joseph Fauria, UCLA - I still have a hard time believing he falls even this far let alone to the 7th round as CBS has him. We'll see. He's a basketball player type of tight end that is great with the football in the air, particularly good near the end zone, but he's duck footed and has terrible pad level and technique in blocking. He will either be Jimmy Graham or Michael Egnew.
R7. CB Tyrann Mathieu, LSU - A staple in any "boom or bust" draft for all of the obvious reasons. Take aside the habitual drug use, his problem has been about reliability and trust, not necessarily just the drug use. And even aside from that, he's tiny and doesn't run fast and you can't be sure he'll succeed either as a corner or a safety.
R7. QB Nick Florence, Baylor - One of the few quarterbacks in this draft with the feet and athleticism you're looking for nowadays at the position, and he also shows at times an ability to make quick decisions that hurt a defense. He was fantastically productive in Baylor's offense, nearly as productive as Robert Griffin. Yet he's only 6'0" and his arm strength is questionable. Don't confuse him with Russell Wilson, but some of the criticisms and strengths between Wilson and Florence are similar.

If we could trade down and still pick up C. Patterson or K. Allen, I am all for it. I just would be mad if we were there to pick at 20 and both of them were gone....I would also be willing to maybe move down THREE spots to #15, for an extra third rounder, or a second rounder next year.
I like the draft...
I would not mind if the Giants put a 1st round tender on Cruz to trade our 1st for him. But I am a fan of Patterson for sure and hope if we stick with our #1 that we use it on him. I do think Patterson will be taken in the Top 15, so a trade down is risky for sure.
I'd be fine with rds 1-4 with BPA, as long as I got my WR in free agency. If we don't stretch the field next year it's back to 8 in the box.
