BREAKING: Cain Tells PJTV that he 'Misspoke' on the Gitmo Terrorist Question (Video Added)
"Mea culpa."
October 18, 2011 - 7:31 pm
Immediately after the debate, PJTV's Alexis Garcia caught up with Herman Cain and asked him about this interview, in which he said he could see himself ordering all terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay released in exchange for one American hostage. Cain told Garcia that he misspoke, and would not order such a release.
Video of Cain's comments from Vegas is on the way. Watch for it in this post.
Update: Here is the video. Cain claims that he "misspoke" because the interview questions shifted topics too quickly. Or something.
Cain also asked about the criticism of his 9-9-9 plan, and a reporter stumps him a bit after Cain accuses critics of not having read the plan. Cain does hit a nice stride late in the clip, when he rips Romney's economic plan.

KUSA - Friday marks 203 days since the Aurora theater shooting, and one of the most critically-injured victims has not gone home yet.
Most of Ashley Moser's days were spent in the hospital. The rest were spent in a hotel because she could not get around her place in the wheelchair she had to use after being paralyzed.
After almost three weeks of work remodeling, Ashley's condo was finished Friday.
On Saturday, she gets to move into her new, accessible home because of a gift from strangers.
The Homebuilders Foundation and a local business donated the time, labor and supplies.
They say they wanted to do what they could because they understand much of what she lost can never be repaired or replaced.
Her daughter, 6-year-old Veronica Mosher, was killed in the attack, and she lost her unborn baby due to her injuries.
More than a dozen people volunteered time to retro-fit the bathroom and kitchen, widen the doorways and pull up all the carpet to replace it with hardwood.
Altitude Digital Partners had its staff spend a work day working on the condo. The homebuilders Foundation has now finished three projects for survivors of the theatre shooting.

The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.Wendell Berry
And find that dark, too blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet, and dark wings.Wendell Berry
A community is the mental and spiritual condition of knowing that the place is shared, and that the people who share the place define and limit the possibilities of each other's lives. It is the knowledge that people have of each other, their concern for each other, their trust in each other, the freedom with which they come and go among themselves.Wendell Berry
Small creatures die because larger creatures are hungry. How superior to this human confusion of greed and creed, blood and fire.Wendell Berry
In the effort to tell a whole story, to see it whole and clear, I have had to imagine more than I have known.Wendell Berry
I think we must be careful about too easily accepting, or being too easily grateful for, sacrifices made by others, especially if we have made none ourselves.Wendell Berry
We need better government, no doubt about it. But we also need better minds, better friendships, better marriages, better communities.Wendell Berry
I believe that the world was created and approved by love, that it subsists, coheres, and endures by love, and that, insofar as it is redeemable, it can be redeemed only by love.Wendell Berry
It is wrong to condemn people for doing a thing and then offer no alternative but failure. A person could get mad about that.Wendell Berry
The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war, but have not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and less wasteful.Wendell Berry
Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.Wendell Berry
The ecological teaching of the Bible is simply inescapable: God made the world because He wanted it made. He thinks the world is good, and He loves it. It is His world; He has never relinquished title to it. And He has never revoked the conditions, bearing on His gift to us of the use of it, that oblige us to take excellent care of it.Wendell Berry

|AFS Groups
The website of the American Folklore Society provides private webspace for online groups.
Sections are special-interest groups that have been recognized by the AFS Executive Board according to Article X of the AFS Bylaws. Many sections support their activities with the collection of annual dues, but some sections do not.
Some sections serve primarily as conversation groups, and simply hold gatherings at the Society's annual meeting where section members can share news about work in their areas of interest. Other sections are more active; many use their webpages here, and most sections organize annual meeting paper sessions or produce their own publications, or both. A few sections give prizes to recognize and encourage good work in their area(s) of interest.
Online groups to discuss common interests.
Groups formed by AFS to work on specific projects; members are by invitation.

Famous bridge failures in Washington
The new South Park Bridge is open following its closure in 2010 over safety concerns.
Luckily, this crossing was repaired in time to avoid any serious problems. But Washington certainly has had its share of past bridge fails.
Here are a few of the most legendary:

Hoko River Bridge collapseA heavy logging truck is blamed for the collapse of the Hoko River Bridge on the Olympic Peninsula in 1947.
Historylink.org says a 40-ton logging truck tried to make the crossing on the bridge with a load limit of 5 tons.
The driver escaped unharmed, but he did face legal action for taking the heavy truck across the bridge.

PC booter
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (April 2010)
A PC booter, or booter, is a type of software for home computer era (early 1980s to early 1990s) personal computers that was loaded and executed in the bootup of the computer, from a bootable floppy disk, rather than as a regular program; a booter thus bypassed any operating system that might be installed on the hard disk of the computer. Video games were the type of application most commonly distributed as booters.
Some booters include a customized subset or variant of a "standard" operating system for the platform (for example, DOS for IBM PC compatible, Apple DOS or ProDOS for Apple II, etc.).
Amiga and Commodore 64 games were often distributed as bootable floppies using a custom boot block which would consist of a custom loader. These disks contained no filesystem; instead, the custom loader would read the tracks directly. Many Amiga games were released as such in order to thwart piracy, and to utilize the RAM otherwise occupied by the AmigaOS. In early to mid-1990s, disks with a custom boot block became very popular for making so-called "trackmos" by demo groups.
While booters provided a safe form of copy protection[citation needed], programs such as Locksmith and Copy II PC existed that provided a method for copying of these disks; these were known as nibble copiers.
Today, IBM PC compatible computers can still boot from floppies, CD-ROMs/DVDs, USB storage devices etc., if a corresponding drive is connected to the system. However, it may require to change boot device priority in the BIOS setup utility.
- Ease of use (the software would start automatically, without any further action required by the user).
- Insulation (few chances to manually alter program files). In a way, the booter acted as a sandbox, even though the concept didn't exist yet.
- Copy prevention (the booter floppies can be hard to read and copy with a regular operating system – mostly because they often used a nonstandard filesystem or formatting).
- Bypassing the normal operating system (to use some specialized replacement).
The last benefit was critical for games, as it allowed to use specialized replacements such as lightweight filesystems and memory access. This allowed performance boosts, especially for graphical applications.
- The application cannot co-exist with other installed applications (because of the insulation described in the previous section).
- Bypassing the normal operating system forced the developers to anticipate every hardware-related or driver-related issue. They would have to write drivers themselves. This could cause compatibility issues on unusual equipment.

Dated multilocus coalescent-based species tree for Melanohalea. The chronogram was estimated from a multilocus data (ITS, nuLSU, mtSSU, MCM7, RPB1, RPB2) within a coalescent-based framework in *BEAST. The divergence times correspond to the mean posterior estimate of their age in millions of years. The bars indicate the 95% HPD interval for the divergence times estimates. The four major Melanohalea clades identified in this study are indicated by '1', '2', '3', and '4' at the corresponding node. Values on branches indicate posterior probability, and only support indices posterior probability values > 0.50 are presented.

When I compile an Agda program that uses the standard library, the compiler spends a long time printing out lines such as:
Skipping Relation.Binary.Consequences (/home/owen/install/lib-0.6/src/Relation/Binary/Consequences.agdai).
Skipping Relation.Binary.Indexed.Core (/home/owen/install/lib-0.6/src/Relation/Binary/Indexed/Core.agdai).
Skipping Relation.Binary (/home/owen/install/lib-0.6/src/Relation/Binary.agdai).
I'm guessing that the reason it safely "skips" them is that they are already compiled (there are already .agdai files in the directories). But it still spends a lot of time skipping them, and compiles take more than a minute.
Is there a way to avoid all this extra work on every compile?

" Great prices and fantastic customer service. I ordered almost everything for my bathroom and powder room remodel from them. The prices are great. One item ordered was out of stock as clearly stated by the webpage. Everything else was shipped within 24 hours and came to my house in less than one week. 2 hours after ordering, my plumber told me that the shower base won't fit due to drain location, I called them to cancel. There was almost no wait time, very nice communication, the item was canceled right away and minutes later I had confirmation for the refund. Fantastic experience. Other items came in perfect shape.

" I purchased a product that did not meet my States lead requirements. When I was informed of this days later, I was treated as an ignorant, unknowing consumer who should of known what my State allows. After closer inspection of their poorly designed web site, I did see that this info was available. My complaint is this, they immediately had taken my money from my bank account and badgered me to buy something else. I was held hostage by an obviously young and uncaring women who felt empowered by a bunch of thugs (look at the photos on their web site) This was so shocking when I hung up the phone, I was shaking!!! Be warned. I am amazed they have been able to build a business. "

" While doing some research on Standard products for an entire bathroom remodel, I noticed the ad for Build.com on a web page, looked at their site, and signed up for a pro account. WHAT A MISTAKE! I placed an order (even though the prices were only a couple of dollars less than a big box special order program)and the products started to trickle in. It is apparent that these guys simply take orders, and have the merchandise drop shipped (heavy on the drop). Three of the items arrived damaged in three seperate shipments, including a whirlpool tub that had a four week lead time. It looked as if it had gone through a lot to get to Denver. It is very apparent that these "account managers" have never worked in the field, and have no idea what true customer service is other than taking your order. Mine wanted to do most everything by email, in spite of the fact that it is vastly inefficient. Also, they DO NOT understand that contractors often have completion dates that they must honor by contract. Because of the damaged goods, I could not meet my completion date, and asked for a rebate of some kind to appease the client. I have yet to see anything. DO NOT USE BUILD.COM IF YOU HAVE A COMPLETION DATE. You will not be able to complete the project on time. Here it is two months after the order was placed, and I'm still waiting on shipments. "

" When making a major purchase (in this case a bathtub) you shop around...and around...and around. :) At some point my eyes glazed over and I felt completely overwhelmed. I noticed Build.com's "price match guarantee" and called just to see if they could provide some perspective. I was lucky enough to have my call answered by CSR. He was patient and clear with me. he listened to what I was needing and was able to offer the best price. I hung up feeling grateful that I had chosen to call. Our conversation was immediately followed up by a standard order confirmation email as well as an additional note from him sharing his extension and contact information. In the sea of websites and deals that promise to be the best, I am incredibly satisfied that, through Build.com, I was able to get a human connection that cut through lots of overwhelming bits of information. I am sure that I made the right purchase from the right storefront. More over, thanks to the fantastic customer service provided, I will not have to peruse hundreds of websites in the future. I will only have to select Build.com and trust that I will be ideally taken care of. "

" I ordered a light fixture from this company as it was time sensitive and the store confirmed the lights were in stock and shipped in 1 - 2 business days. That was June 24th. It is now July 18 and I get a notice advising it will ship on July 26th. This is pitiful customer service. One would think this store would offer some form of compensation. "

" The bathroom fixture is beautiful and I would recommend it to others. I was very dispointed in the delivery services it was droped off at my neighbor house. Thank God that my neighbor was kind enough to walk it down to my house. There should be a better service in place for delivery of product because this was not a cheap item and I had already paid for it. "

from the Imperial War Museum and follows the e-mail:
"I would like to ask you to help me find some information about an article I found in my grandfathers house after he passed away recently. He served with the Chindits in Burma during WW2 and was originally in the Royal Artillery.
While he was in the Chindits he was issued with a orange silk scarf. This scarf is about 70x80 cm. Printed on one side in black is a map of "Northern Burma" and on the other side is "Central Burma". The scarf is in 100% perfect condition. I have heard that it was issued as an emergency map which could be folded up and hidden. Do you have such an exhibit ?
Do you know anything about this scarf ? If you could help me find out some more about it I would be very grateful.

The reply was as follows:
"Thank you for your e-mail of the 18 July.
The Museum does have an orange air recognition map, they were issued to the Chindits for the 2nd Chindit expedition. They had the dual purpose of a map and for air recognition for aerial drops and pick ups. I hope this information is of assistance.

|August 5, 1966
|Other names
|Chinese: 璩美鳳; pinyin: Qú Měifèng
|Known for
|Sex Tape
Chu Mei-feng (Chinese: 璩美鳳; pinyin: Qú Měifèng b. August 5, 1966) is a Taiwanese TV journalist, former Taipei City councillor and the former director of Hsinchu City's Bureau of Cultural Affairs.
Early Life[edit]
Chu graduated from Xinheguomin Primary School, Taipei Municipal Huajiang Senior High School, Taipei First Girls High School, National Chengchi University, and Metropolitan State University. She has worked for the China Morning Edition and the Zili Evening Paper.
While a journalist of TTV World News, Chu took some photos of a lesbian bar without disclosing it to her subjects, leading to some lesbians being exposed to the public and even resulting in the suicide of some, who were put under social pressure by Chu's actions. Additionally, she implied that the Taiwanese actor Pan Mei-chen was a lesbian. As a result, Chu was considered to have broken the appropriate ethical standards of journalism ethics and has since left the TTV World News.[2]
Chu became the news director and host for CSTV after she left TTV. Meanwhile, she joined the New Party. In 1994, Chu became the Taipei City Councillor. She came to prominence when she exposed the "Song Qi-li event" in 1996. The "Song Qi-li event" concerned the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party, Xie Chang-ting, who received $16 million from Song Qi-li as the fee for serving him as the legal counsel. Also, the wife of Xie Chang-ting, You Fang-zhi, wrote Cosmic Light for Song to seek profits[clarification needed].
Chu was the MC in the rally of 1998 Taipei mayor election. In order to help the candidate from the New Party, Yang Tai-shun, to be elected, Chu recorded a show reporting news of the New Party and Yang Tai-shun at 23 p.m. that night, which violated the Civil Servants Election and Recall Act regulating against anything about the rally being held after 22 p.m. that night. Chu became the director of Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Hsinchu City Hall in 1998. At that time, she was rumored to be dating the mayor of the Hsinchu, Yang Tai-shun. Chu was nominated by Taichung to be the candidate of legislator, but failed to be elected.
Chu left office in 2001 due to fallout from a sex tape released by a Taiwanese tabloid showing her having sex with her married lover. In 2002, Chu started a career as a singer.[3] She later returned to Taiwan.
In June 2005, Chu was married to a man named Simon who is 14 years younger than her. After they got married, they ran a cafeteria together in England.[1]
In 2007, she hosted TV news for Macau Asia Satellite Television.[4]
Chu went back to Taiwan to pick Shen Rong who was just released from the prison on February 26, 2008.
In July 2008, Macau Asia Satellite Television announced that they have already recalled Chu from being the Vice Master of television and been sent to host the talk show in Shenzhen.[5] However, she denied this when she was interviewed on October 27th 2008.[6]
In February 2009, Chu went back to Taiwan for hosting the 9th Mainland, Hong Kong and Macau business cooperation conference. At that time, she looked unwell and she explained later that it was because she had three housing loans in Taiwan and one housing loan in America, which made her really pressured.[7] Chu was recalled by the Macau Asia Satellite Television in May 2009 because of the maturity of the contact. In Nov 2009, Chu admitted that her marriage with her ex-husband Simon only lasted for one year and a half.The ownership of the cafeteria belonged to Simon.
Chu issued a declaration that she had resigned the job of being the CEO of Hubei Television on September 2nd 2010.[8] However, the director of Hubei Television said that Chu was never assigned to be the CEO, besides they didn't know Chu at all actually. In fact, Hubei Television didn't even have a job titled CEO.[9]
Oct 29th 2012 Chu announced her comeback.[10]
In June 2005, Chu married with a man 14 years younger. In November 2009, Chu admitted that her marriage with her ex-husband Simon only lasted briefly. Chu later married to Yu-shuanglun on July 6, 2011. Together they have a boy named Qi-Rong.

Part Two: My Relationship With Chikara Pro
I am Chikara.
I don't think I've ever really said that before. This past year, the #IAmChikara hashtag filled the timelines of the Chikara faithful. T-shirts were made. Rallies were held. When the then 11-year-old company shuttered it doors, to say that fans were devastated would be an understatement. I've been a fan for a few of those years, and believe me, what turned out to be their final show ripped my heart in two. But I still couldn't say it. I didn't want hashtags and teaser videos and scavenger hunts and conspiracy theories. I wanted Chikara back. I wanted my friends. I wanted my favourite wrestlers all back in one place. I wanted the place in wrestling that I felt safest and most comfortable. So I waited. I visited other cities, mostly in another country, for a chance to see just a few scattered members of the roster. I sat in gyms and community centers and whatever the heck that place was in New Hampshire with its crowd of maybe twenty people (a generous estimate at best) to support these same wrestlers. I twittered and podcasted and tried to force as many people as I could to pay attention. But mostly, I waited.
On February 1st, 2014, I was still waiting. See, I had been podcasting and analyzing and overanalyzing enough of what Chikara had left in its wake, and I knew something was going to happen at National Pro Wrestling Day. I got wrapped up in Eddie Kingston vs. Dasher Hatfield, as emotionally charged as any Chikara Grand Championship match before it, even if the belt was meaningless, and nothing was at stake. I watched Hallowicked vs. Mike Bennett (always at his best when he's away from Ring Honor), a throwback to the most meaningful wrestling weekend of my life. And I waited. We all waited. The anticipation of what was going to happen was palpable, even if none of us knew just what that was. And then it happened. Rudos (heels) flooded the room. Tecnicos (faces) were outnumbered. It was Aniversario all over again. But then the Submission Squad appeared. I heard them before I saw them (I'm short and they were on the other side of the ring), but I knew the wait was finally over. Archibald Peck showed up in a DeLorean. Rudos ripped off their masks and before us stood an army of Tecnicos, ready to take back what was theirs. What belonged to all of us. In that moment we were all Chikara, but I still couldn't say it. Not really.
As Icarus, newly outfitted as a conquering hero informed us, Chikara was set to make its official return on May 25th. And return it did. Walking into the same room that held so many memories from past wrestling shows was nothing short of overwhelming. It was really happening. People were hugging and greeting each other as old friends, wrestlers and fans alike. Some people I knew very well, some only from shows, some only from the internet, but we were all there, united by the same thing. The atmosphere of a Chikara show is something I talk about at great length to whoever will listen. It's the most interactive company possible. There's nothing quite like it. It welcomes you into the universe they've created wholeheartedly, and makes you want to come back again and again. The shows are great on DVD and mp4 and the whatnot, but there's a little bit of magic when you're actually there. For me, and I think for a lot of people there, it was like finally coming home. The mood was celebratory, and once again the Palmer Center was full of the positivity and jubilant spirit that is so unique to Chikara.
I readily admit that holding back the tears when Gavin Loudspeaker finally took the mic to start the show was by no means an easy task. While ring announcers tend to be background players, a necessary enhancement to the grander purpose of a wrestling show, Gavin is an integral part of the Chikara universe. Known for its outlandish personalities, Gavin is by no means the exception. As beloved as any wrestler, our host for the day was in rare form, both visibly relieved and moved at being back in a Chikara ring once again. It's hard to pretend it's just another wrestling show when there's already so much emotion happening in front of you. The crowd responded in kind, hungry for more, their patience throughout the previous eight months finally paying dividends.
Later in the show, we were introduced to the new Director of Fun (think Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel if he were in charge of wrestling ice cream men and anthropomorphic ants), replacing the previous administration that brought the company down. Mike Quackenbush – Chikara founder, wrestler, trainer, master of a thousand holds, potential real life human cartoon – came down the aisle to thunderous applause. He gave a speech about a lot of the things I believe to be important in wrestling, especially the sense of support and community in wrestling. "We are all Chikara," he said, and it was never truer than in that building on that day. But then he started looking around, and naming people in the audience. He paused. "Danielle Matheson – you are Chikara."
As much as I had tried to keep my emotions from bubbling to the surface, in that moment it become impossible. I had waited so long, sometimes much more obstinately than I care to admit. But it was real, and it was back, and the architect of the thing I love the most made me feel more appreciated than I can even describe. I've given my heart to this band of crazy characters, and in return received more special moments, friendships, and incredible wrestling than I can explain.
Even if these names mean nothing to you, and you've never seen a Chikara show in your life, know this: I am Chikara, and you can be too.

I love Joe's work too. I find a few a little 'cold' but we must consider what he is trying to do and the breadth of the country he has to cover. I feel his genre is very much what Ansel Adams would have done were he a Brit shooting colour! Both are committed to the wilderness and the conservation thread represents a common purpose thru Yosemite and the Nat Trust respectively. Many of Joes images are sublime and really 'do it for me'.
I love this image for all the reasons you do, but he has others which I prefer still by quite a margin.

According to Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer, during last night's blow out loss to the New York Giants, Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith got upset with quarterback Cam Newton for sitting on the bench and sulking.
"I watched D.A. and Jimmy (Clausen), they don't play in 20-something games last year. And they get up and they observe and learn and get those mental reps," Smith said. "I told him, 'You can get some mental reps or you can sit on that bench and sulk.'"
"Cam Newton has a very unique opportunity to be a franchise quarterback to an organization that needs one," Smith said. "Statistics don't lie. Athletic quarterbacks, they either excel or they fail. And I told Cam that.
"This is an opportunity for him to learn – at that time they were benching him – and observe. They put D.A. in. You can sit there, if this is the worst is going to get you're in for a long day and this is not what it's about."
Without Smith in the Panthers' locker room, Newton could easily fall apart. He does need to stop feeling sorry for himself and forget the past and move on, but with Smith next to him he should be fine.

Yesterday I received an e-mail from the CEO of an excellent junior silver producer which I've owned shares in for many years. He pointed out that despite the big hit his and every other silver producer's stock had taken on Monday, that their company was doing just fine, thank you.
That's no surprise, of course, as it's a terrific company...but he picked the wrong moment to e-mail me, as I was still thinking about the tirade I wrote about the precious metal mining companies in 'The Wrap' section of Tuesday's column. If there ever was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, this was certainly it.
Here is my reply...
Hi there,
Thanks for your kind e-mail this morning.
I know that your company, plus others, are selling for ridiculously low prices.
However, I'm not allowed to comment on any one company, as I'm not an analyst. You'd have to take that up with Jeff Clark or Louis James.
I know you read my column every morning, so you will have noted that the entire sector is being abandoned by the investing public...and has nothing to do with your [or anyone else's] assets in the ground...or your excellent company-specific news.
The issue is that the mining industry will not deal with the real problem out there...which you know about all too well...and that's the outrageous short positions held in all four precious metals by a handful of banks...JPMorgan Chase, Bank of Nova Scotia...and HSBC USA.....plus a couple of minor players. Note the attached "Days of World Production to Cover Short Positions" chart.
If those obscene and grotesque short positions weren't there, the prices of all four precious metals would take your breath away, as they would be many multiples of what they are now...and we wouldn't be having this discussion, as the mining companies would be talk of the town...and the executives of same would be like gods. As a cursory glance at the chart will show you, these outrageous short positions exist in only four commodities...the precious metals...and your metal in particular, silver.
You, or a group of silver mining companies working together, are going to have to bell this cat sooner or later. This is where your real fiduciary duty lies...and I know I can speak for all of your stockholders, the real owners of your company, the sooner you get started the better. And if the idea of confronting the "will of Mordor" is too much for you or the industry, there are other ways that you can make a difference. Withholding production or buying into offerings from Sprott or Central Fund of Canada would be a good place to start.
I'll see you at the Vancouver conference in June.
P.S. I still own your company's stock...but on the next major rally, I will be looking for the exits on virtually my entire portfolio, as I'm appalled by how badly your industry has sold their shareholders down the river. I'll buy the metal itself with the proceeds. The investing public shouldn't have to put up with sort of junk...me included.
Poor guy...I'm sure he wasn't expecting an answer like that. I guess that's why I never heard back from him. But it had to be said...and more stockholders should be saying it to every company executive they can find. Most mining companies have a toll-free number...so you know what you have to do. So give your best Howard Beale impression while trying to remain polite and civil.

So I have created a delayed vaccination schedule for my son according to Dr. Sears' alternative schedule (due to his reaction to his 2 months shots). Anyway, to make a long story short, today he was given 1 comibination vaccine (DTaP, POLIO, and HEP B) and the rotavirus which is given orally. Well ofcourse I cried, and the baby cried but calmed down after I nursed him and after my husband made him smile. When we got home he was much better. I then sat him in his swing and he drifted off to sleep. Well my phone rang about 20 minutes ago (2 hours after the vaccine) and guess who it was? The nurse that administered the vaccine!.. "Hi Mia, this is G, I'm, so very sorry but, I just wanted to call you to tell you that the vaccine we administered to Jadiel was outdated. I sincerely apologize.This has never happened to me before in all of the years I have worked here. According to Dr. V, nothing will happen to him, he will be fine, but the vaccine is not going to be affective. He will need to get it again in a month or so."
I need input on this situation please girls. I'm crying right now because I'm frustrated, and ok, the vaccine was expired and nothing will happen to him? Really? Yet we shouldn't eat food that has passed its expiration date. Ugh what do I do? Who do I call? He's fine now, my mom came over and is holding him and singing to him but I am NOT ok.... wteffff! I called my husband at work (works 2nd shift) after I hung up with the nurse, and he said "WTF? Why didn't they check it while we were there? How are you going to tell me that they realized it was outdated AFTER they injected him? Who does that!? Are they serious?
I need a hug :( After researching vaccine ingredients and vaccine reactions I wanted to refuse them from here on out but my family kept telling me how "important" they were, so we decided on the delayed schedule which started today. Now I feel like an idiot for putting my son through this. HELP!

- Excerpt from International estate planning 101:
Many traditional estate planning strategies are based on the assumption that everyone involved is a U.S. citizen. But if you or your spouse is a noncitizen, special rules apply that require additional planning.
Generally, U.S. citizens are subject to federal gift and estate taxes on all of their assets, wherever located. But they're also entitled to various exemptions, exclusions and deductions.

Gap Junctions
Edited by
- E.L. Hertzberg, Departments of Neuroscience and of Anatomy and Structural Biology, albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY, USA
Book information
- Published: December 1999
- Imprint: ELSEVIER
Because the field of gap junctions is so broad, the most one book can accomplish is to present well written summaries that direct the reader to the primary literature. In this regard Hertzberg and coauthors have done an admirable job. (...) Importantly, each of the chapters discusses what isn't known or is controversial about the topic at hand, information that is often missing from the journal literature. Another attractive feature is that each review is written by two authors representing different laboratories and often quite different viewpoints. For those within the gap junction community, it is interesting to observe how potentially contentious issues are negotiated. While the majority of readers will be unaware of the implications of these author pairings, they will nonetheless profit from the fact that in most cases the biases of individual researchers are deemphasized, giving a more balanced view than is sometimes the case in the secondary literature.

Baltimore Colts in Green?
July 16th, 2010 | Published in Football Card Trivia, Sites I Like, Uniforms | 2 Comments
Ever wonder why all of the Baltimore Colts in the 1950 Bowman set are wearing green? Did Bowman take liberties with the team's colors, as Topps did with the Houston Oilers in 1961? (See Houston Oilers: Pretty in Pink.) Did the team change colors from green to blue sometime after 1950?
No, the 1950 Colts were actually a different franchise than today's Colts. The original Colts were members of the AAFC, and they were one of three teams to join the NFL when the AAFC folded after the 1949 season. This Colts team lasted just one year in the NFL before disbanding, and in 1951 the Colts players were made available to the remaining teams via the draft.
In 1953, the NFL awarded a Baltimore group a new franchise and gave it the remnants of the original Dallas Texans, a franchise that had lasted just one year in Dallas. The new Colts wore blue, and they've worn blue ever since. A nice article by Bob Carroll on the profootballresearchers.com web site traces the lineage of the two Colts franchises and the other AAFC teams.
Pictured here are cards of two of the Colts cards in the 1950 Bowman set, Y.A. Tittle and Chet Mutryn. You can see the entire 1950 Bowman Baltimore Colts team set in the Vintage Football Card Gallery.
Here's a bit of trivia: Besides Y.A. Tittle, what Hall of Fame quarterback played for the Colts in 1950?
Answer: George Blanda. The Bears traded Blanda and four other players to the Colts on September 5. Blanda played in one game for the Colts, and the Bears bought him back on September 20.

A little old lady came home from shopping and found a robber in her kitchen.
Scared and not knowing what to do, she raised her hand and quoted the Scripture "Acts 2:38." The robber froze in his tracks, so she called the police. When the policeman came, he saw this robber standing perfectly still and wondered what the lady had done. He asked her, and she replied, "I just quoted some Scripture." The policeman turned to the robber and said, "Why did that Scripture make you act this way?" The robber replied, "Scripture, what Scripture? I thought she said she had an axe and two 38s."

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home near a junior high school.
He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace and contentment. Then a new school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful, after-school enthusiasm, came down his street, beating merrily on every trashcan they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after day, until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some action.
The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as they banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, "You kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like that. In fact, I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I'll give you each a dollar if you'll promise to come around every day and do your thing." The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up job on the trashcans.
After a few days, the old-timer greeted the kids again, but this time he had a sad smile on his face.
"This recession's really putting a big dent in my income," he told them. "From now on, I'll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on the cans."
The noisemakers were obviously displeased, but they did accept his offer and continued their afternoon ruckus. A few days later, the wily retiree approached them again as they drummed their way down the street.
"Look," he said, "I haven't received my Social Security check yet, so I'm not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be okay?"
"A lousy quarter?" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think we're going to waste our time, beating these cans around for a quarter, you're nuts! No way, mister. We quit!"
And the old man enjoyed peace.

If you set out to make your analytics team better and better, they will get better and keep getting better and finally, they will want to be better...for you.

Challenge them to be the very best and very brightest they can be. Give them stretch goals and tough problems to solve and new tools to learn and they will stick with you like glue. They will learn that you really want to help them...while they are helping you.

Specifically, Michael Blastland, author of "The Tiger That Isn't," David Bomphrey, head of digital customer experience at Everything Everywhere, Vicky Brock, CEO at Clear Returns Ltd, Barbara Pezzi, director of analytics and search optimization at Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, and Richard Phillips, head of online analytics at Virgin Media. My hat's off to each of them. Here is the culmination, conglomeration, and concatenation of their advice:
If you set out to make your analytics team better and better, they will get better and keep getting better and finally, they will want to be better...for you.
