Jay Rockefeller's Retirement Isn't As Bad For Democrats As You Think
January 12, 2013
When West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller announced this morning that he won't seek reelection to the Senate in 2014, political commentators immediately downgraded Democrats' chances of holding his Senate seat. Politico wrote that Rockefeller's retirement put the seat in deeply conservative "in play," while The Fix's Sean Sullivan said that Rockefeller's retirement "boosted" Republican hopes.

The Week in Strange and Small Super PACs: Moms and Dads edition
July 16, 2012
It's time again to look in on the past week's stranger super PACs—the small PACs you've never heard of that will affect congressional and Senate races across the country. No new super PACs spent their first dime in the last week, but two existing PACs worth highlighting did make independent expenditures.

Political Geography 101, Cont'd
November 14, 2011
Just a few days ago, I said once again that I would try to resist engaging in media criticism on this blog. Today I'm going to officially declare one of the exceptions to that rule: when I see the need to correct the record on matters of political geography, a subject of special interest to me. In this case, I'm basically rehashing a point I made a couple weeks ago because, well, it appears no one's paying me any mind. So here goes again.
Are Senate Democrats Really That Stupid?
October 11, 2011
Are Senate Democrats really foolish enough not to line up behind President Obama's jobs bill? Quite possibly. On Tuesday night, Majority Leader Harry Reid will try to bring the newly revised package to a vote. He won't succeed, because the chamber's 47 Republicans will vote unanimously to filibuster it. And it takes only 40 to succeed. But if Reid can get just 50 Democrats to signal their support by voting to break that filibuster, then the Democrats will have a powerful rhetorical weapon.

COVINGTON — A fight with his girlfriend led to the arrest of a Covington man on DUI and other charges.
Covington Police Officer Kevin Fuller responded to a call around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday from a passerby who said a Toyota Camry had rear-ended another vehicle on Washington Street. However, when officers arrived no one was around the cars.
Fuller examined the scene and found that a chain-reaction accident had involved three vehicles. Officers searched the vehicles to find a driver's information, but also found a firearm in the Toyota Camry.
While conducting the vehicle search, officers observed a male staggering in the middle of Washington Street.
Officers asked the man, Andre Codner, 29, of Covington, why he was in the middle of the street. Codner reportedly responded by saying he had done something "really bad and caused an accident." He said got in an argument with his girlfriend when he started drinking and decided to leave his house, according to the incident report.
The officers then began administering a variety of sobriety tests which Codner attempted, but then said, "I"m too drunk to do it," according to the incident report.
He also reportedly admitted he had previously been arrested for forgery, which officers verified through a background check.
Codner was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, possession of a firearm by convicted felon, driving with a suspended license and failure to report an accident.

When Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss died last week, it didn't take long for the conversation to turn to his place among the best owners in the history of sports.
Perhaps it's only fitting that the disastrous public reappearance of Jeffrey Loria renewed debate this week over who is the worst.
In the city of Miami, there is no debate. The Marlins owner is so reviled he might want to avoid going to his year-old stadium lest he find a mob ready to run him out of town.
His payroll is so low the team he will trot out opening day would have trouble competing in the Pacific Coast League, much less the National League.
Meanwhile, taxpayers are on the hook for a $634 million stadium that might have more tropical fish swimming around inside than fans in the stands.
If he's not the worst owner ever, it's only because there's a lot of competition for the title. The late owner of the Cincinnati Reds, Marge Schott, comes to mind, so does Robert Irsay, who fled Baltimore in the middle of the night and took the city's beloved NFL Colts with him.
But Loria is certainly in the top five.
His decision this week to embark on a public relations campaign to convince fans he was right to trade the team's top talent _ Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle, Josh Johnson, among others _ because he wanted to make the Marlins better, reeked of arrogance. It didn't work mostly because Loria acted the way he always acts _ like he's the smartest person in the room.
Maybe he is. This is a guy, after all, who parlayed a small investment in the Montreal Expos into ownership of a team and a new stadium in Miami.
He got handouts from Major League Baseball for years, and got lucky with a World Series winner a decade ago. Now he's got fans paying the freight _ and rewarded them with a team so devoid of talent that the payroll is expected to be only $45 million this season, the lowest in baseball.
The trouble with smart people, though, is that sometimes they begin to believe their own press releases. That seems to be the case with Loria, who hired a high-powered PR firm to try to mend his image in South Florida and, more importantly, convince people they should spend more of their money at his ballpark.
The campaign began with his open letter to the citizens of Miami defending everything he's done and promising good times just around the next corner.
"We're in this together and I humbly ask that we start fresh, watch us mature quickly as a ball club, and root for the home team in 2013," Loria wrote.
That went over about as well as former manager Ozzie Guillen praising Fidel Castro in Little Havana last season. But it got worse when Loria met the press, not all of whom seemed to be on board with the idea that the Marlins need to make their owner more money before they can be competitive.
Asked at one point if he had pulled a con job on Miami residents, Loria bristled.

Student Loans
Posted on August 15th, 2008
They say education is expensive, but so is ignorance. One stands to lose more if he didn't take the opportunities to go to college and get a degree. But with today's rising costs of college tuition fees, it's no wonder that there are many who are deferring their studies in order to work and earn money instead.
Some are fortunate enough to find scholarships and pursue their studies, some juggles between and work and studies, working to finance their way for a college degree. I admire those individuals. But with today's population of college students, not everybody can have those opportunities, much more pay for their own tuition fees.
If only Filipino students could also qualify for the student loans provided by NextStudent, They provide student loans to US college students so that they may be able to finish their schooling and earn their college degree.
These loans are unsecured and available either to parents or to the students. Payments can even be deferred up until after graduation. Truly no reason to skip college studies.
They also give Private Student Loans, for students who have higher tuition fees from private school. Undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education students' can cover their education expenses up to the total cost of education.
If only there are education loan opportunities here in the Philippines, there would be more professionals, entrepreneurs, workers, who are contributing to our country's economy.

Wildland Fire Management:
Federal Agencies Lack Key Long- and Short-Term Management Strategies for Using Program Funds Effectively
GAO-08-433T: Published: Feb 12, 2008. Publicly Released: Feb 12, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-6246
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The nation's wildland fire problems have worsened over the past decade. Recent years have seen dramatic increases in the number of acres burned and the dollars spent on preparing for and responding to wildland fires. As GAO has previously reported, a number of factors have contributed to worsening fire seasons and increased firefighting expenditures, including an accumulation of fuels due to past land management practices; drought and other stresses, in part related to climate change; and an increase in human development in or near wildlands. Recent GAO reports have identified shortcomings in the approach to wildland fire management taken by the responsible federal agencies--the Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and four agencies within the Department of the Interior. GAO was asked to testify on agency efforts to (1) develop a cohesive strategy for preparing for and responding to wildland fire, (2) contain federal expenditures related to wildland fire, and (3) improve the processes used to allocate funds for reducing accumulated fuels and to select fuel reduction projects. GAO also is providing preliminary findings from its ongoing review of an interagency budget allocation and planning model known as fire program analysis (FPA). This testimony is based on issued GAO reports, reviews of agency documents related to the development of FPA, and discussions with agency officials.
In recent years, GAO has recommended a number of actions federal wildland fire agencies should take to better diagnose the extent of the nation's wildland fire problems and develop a strategic approach for addressing them. The agencies have taken some steps to respond to GAO's recommendations, but have not completed other needed steps. Specifically, the agencies should: (1) recommit to developing a cohesive strategy that identifies options and associated funding to reduce fuels and address wildland fire problems. In several reports dating to 1999, GAO recommended that a cohesive strategy be developed that identifies the available long-term options and associated funding for reducing hazardous fuels and for responding to wildland fires. Such a strategy would assist Congress and the agencies in making informed decisions about effective and affordable long-term approaches to addressing the nation's wildland fire problems. As of January 2008, the agencies had not developed such a strategy and, in fact, had retreated from earlier commitments to do so. (2) Establish clear goals and a strategy to help contain wildland fire costs. In 2007, GAO reported that the agencies had taken several steps to contain wildland fire costs, including developing new decision support tools to help officials select the most appropriate strategy for fighting wildland fires, but lacked clearly defined cost-containment goals and a strategy for achieving them. As a result, we believe managers in the field lacked a clear understanding of the relative importance agency leadership placed on containing costs and were therefore likely to select firefighting strategies without duly considering the costs of suppression. Although the agencies have continued to implement individual cost-containment steps, they still have not developed clear goals or a strategy for achieving them. (3) Continue to improve their processes for allocating fuel reduction funds and selecting fuel reduction projects. Also in 2007, GAO recommended several improvements to the agencies' processes for allocating fuel reduction funds to field units and selecting projects. Specifically, GAO recommended that the agencies use a more systematic allocation process, improve the information they use to make allocation decisions, and clarify the relative importance of the various factors they consider when allocating funds. The agencies are currently taking steps to implement these improvements, although none have yet been completed. In addition, GAO's ongoing review of FPA suggests that the current model, which the agencies expect to complete in June 2008, may not allow the agencies to meet all of the key goals established for FPA. Specifically, preliminary results from GAO's review suggest that the model will not allow the agencies to analyze long-term trade-offs between annual fuel reduction treatments and future expected suppression costs for large fires. GAO intends to conduct a full assessment of FPA once it is completed.

Evolutionary distinctness will now help save birds from extinction
Scientists have revealed that identifying evolutionary distinctness of birds will help them save birds from extinction.
Walter Jetz of Yale University said that evolutionary distinctness is a metric that informs about the loss of evolutionary information that the extinction of a given species would cause and because of global family trees they will be able to compare this aspect of distinctness for all species.
The researchers report that world's top 50 most evolutionarily distinct bird species include widely distributed and common species such as the osprey and the ostrich, well-known oddities such as the hoatzin and the shoebill, and lesser-known, range-restricted species such as the New Caledonian owlet-nightjar and the Solomon Islands frogmouth, the researchers report.
The list also includes the South American oilbird and the cuckoo roller of Madagascar, which are both separated from the rest of the avian tree of life by more than 65 million years.
The study shows that use of distinctness measures can provide an objective, effective, and economical way to protect evolutionary diversity and the approach may be particularly useful because information about relationships among species is often much easier to come by than detailed ecological assessments, and evolutionarily distinct species can often be found in places that aren't well known as hot spots for biodiversity.
The study was published in Cell Press journal Current Biology.

Oceanic Delta 4.2 FDX10 Regulator, Black with Swivel
Now includes a 30" (76.2cm) Maxflex Braided Hose
Now includes a 30" (76.2cm) Maxflex Braided Hose
The FDX10 offers a balanced diaphragm and is made of forged chromed marine brass. The balanced diaphragm, first stage regulator is inherently environmentally sealed. The benefit of this type of first stage design is that none of the delicate internal parts are exposed-to-contaminants such as salt, sand, chlorine or pool acids. These environmental contaminants can cause corrosion and mineral deposits to form on the internal mechanism deteriorating regulator performance. A diaphragm first stage regulator requires less-maintenance then regulators that allow contaminates to enter the internal mechanism.
The FDX10 features DVT (Dry Valve Technology). DVT takes keeping the internal components clean of contaminates to the next-level. DVT is an innovative design that keeps moisture and contaminants out-of-the-first stage, even if you forget to put the dust cap on. Have you ever wonder why they call it a "dust cap" and not a water cap. DVT eliminates the possibility of moisture entering the first stage with a simple, yet ingenious design. No hassle, no worries. What about performance? DVT doesn't impact first stage performance even at 198' (60 meters) with just 200 psi (14 bars) in your tank. The result is an end to flooded regulators! Oceanic's exclusive DVT is designed to automatically eliminate moisture intrusion and contaminants from entering your breathing system. This means internal components remain corrosion and bacteria free. Amazing, simple, patented, and by the way, DVT is only available on Oceanic Regulators.
In addition the FDX10 First Stage Regulator has a secondary diaphragm to completely seal-off the main spring cavity. A sealed balanced diaphragm design; ENVIRO kit and patented DRT (Dry Regulator Technology) isolate the main spring cavities internal components from the environment. It also means the FDX10 is excellent for ice diving (it won't freeze up) or diving in waters filled with contaminants or sediment (it won't corrode). The FDX10 DIN first stage comes ready to use with air or Nitrox mixtures up to 40%. First stage has 4 low pressure (LP) and 2 high pressure (HP) ports. FDX-10 features optimized air paths and angled hose ports for superior performance and comfort.
The Delta 4.2 is a mechanically balanced second stage, it comes ready to use with air or NITROX mixtures up to 40%. The Delta 4.2 is the latest version of the Delta, and is one of Oceanic second stages with (A.V.S.) the Adjustable Venturi System. This allows the diver to adjust inhalation effort so the second stage won't free-flow during shore entries or long surface swims. The A.V.S. deflector vane found in the Delta 4.2 diverts the airflow from the valve directly to the mouthpiece, producing smooth venturi-assisted inhalation. With the addition of a user Adjustable Venturi System (A.V.S.), in the form of a simple yet ingenious switch, full adjustment control rests in the hands of the diver. Additionally, the Delta 4.2 has Oceanic's patented dynamic adjustment feature. This lets a diver set breathing resistance. The adjustment only needs to be made once; the Delta 4.2 maintains the setting no matter the depth of the dive.
A common objection to adjustable second stages is that divers can't imagine themselves twisting and turning a knob as they descend and ascend through the depths. If inhalation resistance is set near zero at depth, your ascent would require you too manually increase resistance as ambient water pressure is reduced to prevent free-flow. Taking another stride beyond common second stage engineering, Oceanic designed a patented dynamic adjustment feature into the heart of the Delta 4.2. This mechanically balanced valve maintains a preferred breathing resistance throughout the dive. Set it once and the Delta 4.2 automatically adjusts to make breathing as easy at 100' (30 meters) as it is at 30' (10 meters) - with no additional manual adjustment.
The Delta 4.2's housing is made from an ABS/Polycarbonate composite blend of materials making the Delta 4.2 both extremely rugged and lightweight and nearly neutrally buoyant underwater, reducing jaw fatigue on extended dives. The extremely lightweight cover ring is machined from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum, and then hard anodized, utilizing a unique process to prevent corrosion. Ever notice that nearly every picture you see of a diver, their regulator looks like it's not the least bit comfortable? The Delta 4.2 features an ergonomically designed in-line swivel for ultimate comfort. The Delta 4.2 takes this comfort even further with an orthodontic mouthpiece designed to accommodate the natural overbite of the human jaw and 30" (76.2cm) 3/8" threaded Maxflex hose that all produce minimal jaw fatigue no matter the length of the dive. Regulator weighs 34.8oz (986.8g) without the hose, comes with an owner's manual and is covered by a 24 month limited warranty.
The Oceanic Delta 4.2 FDX10 Regulator, Black with Swivel is commonly used for Warm Water and more. The Oceanic Delta 4.2 FDX10 Regulator, Black with Swivel is popular because customers like the following qualities of the Oceanic Delta 4.2 FDX10 Regulator, Black with Swivel: Adjustable, Comfortable, Effortless breathing.
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.

As you may be aware, Beyonce is pregnant with the seed of Jay-Z. After clutching her bump and coyly smiling on the red carpet — silently signaling to the world that she was either pregnant or bloated from hookworm — Beyoncé hit the stage at the VMAs and, before performing "Love on Top," said to the audience, "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me." HINT HINT.
During the performance, she rubbed her bump, and her rep later confirmed the bun in her oven, and the world got all giddy and excited. [MTV, ABC]

Gates: US Troops Could Stay in Iraq Past Deadline
Urges Iraqi Govt to Hurry Up With Request
Speaking on Thursday in Baghdad, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said US troops might well continue their presence in Iraq beyond the December 31 deadline mandated by the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). Gates said such a presence needed an official request by the Iraqi government.
At which point Secretary Gates urged the Iraqi government to "get on with it pretty quickly," saying that there was a strong interest in a continued US military presence, but domestic Iraqi politics were stalling the request from the Maliki government.
The Iraqi coalition government includes a number of members, particularly the bloc loyal to Moqtada al-Sadr, strongly opposed to the continuation of the US presence, which began with a March 2003 invasion.
Secretary Gates had reported in mid-February that the Obama Administration was eager to keep the Iraq War going, and that Iraq would "face problems" if they refused to allow it. Maliki indicated previously that he was going to hold the US to the SOFA deadline. Few in either government are taking him at his word, however, with most assuming that some sort of US military presence will be on the ground in 2012.

Gates" there was (is) a strong interest in a continued US military presence" Could someone Please ask this jerk, what USA/Israel interests were/ are????
Was Saddam asked by Jr Bush to invade? NOPE! Then why should the present government give permission to stay. Some nerve of ugyly Americans. I'm getting to think USA is no diff than Israel habitual liars.
I've got a newsflash for you JoJo, the United States of Israel has the same habitual liars in common.
America is not leaving Iraq. The troops may be renamed, but they are not going.
Nooo!!! What a shocker. Would have never predicted that!

Future plans
Over the next ten years, Jewish Care will need over £100m to care for vulnerable people. We are relying on at least £40m of this sum being donated by generous supporters in our community.
All our existing buildings as well as our new developments exceed health and safety requirements and are warm, modern, bright and inviting. We spend more than £1m a year on our ongoing maintenance and refurbishment programme alone.
New Care Homes
Kun Mor and George Kiss Home
A new Jewish Care home in a unique setting – Opening Summer 2015 Kun Mor and George Kiss Home has 48 en-suite bedrooms set over 3 floors, with an open plan living area on each floor consisting of a fully kosher compliant kitchen, a large farmhouse kitchen table, a dining area and a lounge.
Built with latest the technology, Jewish Care's aim is to support a person's independence and to enhance the provision of quality care.
The home is set in a community hub, The Betty and Asher Loftus Centre in Friern Barnet, a unique care community which includes two other residential homes, a day centre and communal facilities including a café, shop and synagogue. People living there will benefit from a varied programme of activities and services available to the entire Betty and Asher Loftus Centre community.
The first to move in will be residents of Jewish Care's Ella and Ridley Jacobs House in Hendon who are relocating to the new purpose built home. The remaining rooms are expected to be in high demand, those interested are encouraged to contact Jewish Care to register interest.

Previous and ongoing projects
Asher Loftus Way development
Jewish Care is currently working on plans to develop a care home on the Asher Loftus Way site, which is situated in Friern Barnet, North London. The 48-bedroom care home will cater for older people with nursing and dementia care needs and will be located on the south-east side of the site.
Also planned are special dementia care services and community facilities in part of the ground floors to the existing buildings, with the intention of further developing Asher Loftus Way as an attractive communal hub. The combined effect will be to create a site where cross-generational interaction is encouraged and everyone currently already living or working on the site will benefit.
The home aims to be opened by the end of 2015.

MONDAY, Dec. 17 (HealthDay News) -- More costly, intensive treatment is no better than usual care at hastening recovery from whiplash, a new study finds.
Researchers looked at more than 3,800 British whiplash patients to compare a more intensive approach to treatment ("active management") against usual care at 15 hospital emergency departments.
Active management included pain control plus positive messages about recovery, specific advice on exercise and an early return to normal activities. Usual care included more nonspecific advice to exercise, advice sheets with inconsistent information, and no guidance on expectations for recovery.
Researchers led by Sarah Lamb of the University of Warwick found little difference in recovery levels between active management and usual care patients at four, eight and 12 months after initial treatment in the emergency department.
Nearly 600 patients who still had whiplash symptoms three weeks after being treated in an emergency department were then assigned to receive either a single "advice session" with a physiotherapist or up to six physiotherapy sessions.
The patients who had the physiotherapy sessions had a somewhat quicker recovery at four months, but not at eight or 12 months. The physiotherapy sessions also reduced the number of work days lost by an average of four days over 12 months, according to the study published online Dec. 17 in The Lancet.
Active management and physiotherapy sessions are more expensive than usual care and physiotherapy advice, the researchers point out.
But the study suggests that these extra and more costly efforts "do not speed recovery. What is more, although additional physiotherapy, beyond a single advice session, did offer a modest benefit, it was not cost-effective," Lamb said in a journal news release.
Her conclusion: "Emergency departments should continue to provide usual care for whiplash injuries together

Yes, this is a spin off the abortion thread. I was just wondering where most of you sit on the use of stem cells in research and potentially treating diseases. As a scientist, I am curious on what the general thoughts are. Do you think that by allowing those fetuses (which are being destroyed regardless) to have an impact in this world respects the life? Did you know that most stem cell sources are from frozen embryos that are being discarded and not aborted fetuses? I'm just curious on what people have to say on this topic.
Stem cells opinion
I am a hugely in favor of stem cell research. To the point where we actually donated LO's chord blood to MIL to help with the treatment of her very severe and very debilitating auto-immune disease. Having seen the quality of life of a person who can benefit from this first hand, I'd be hard pressed to see it any other way.
I am 100% certain of only one thing though...this thread is gonna get "heated" to say the least.
...is this thing on?

I personally think it's super interesting.

My D600, 50 1.4 and CS6 are my sanity in this crazy life ♥
I am all for stem cell research.
The best part about it, is that fetuses are not necessary anymore to get stem cells. I understand there was a point where experiments were necessary to get where we are now, but the is the great thing about science---you can only go forward. You can get them from other places, like the umbilical cord.
I donated my cord blood after birth.

Actually, a truly pluripotent stem cell (a cell that can develop into any tissue) can only come from fetal tissue. The cells from the cord blood are multipotent and can give rise to multiple but limited tissues. In the news has been the induced pluripotency where they take differentiated tissue and make it back into a stem cell. Turns out these are highly tumerogenic and have not been approved for clinical research.
Yes. By far, the most options and the "cleanest" cells come from fetal tissue.

Stem cells harvest from cord blood are primarily hematopoietic in nature. They have great potential for blood disorders, heart related disease but only vesicular, not muscular and is actually showing huge promise with type I diabetes. Less known is the actual cord tissue. It has mesenchymal stem cells that have promise in bone, cartilage and connective tissue regeneration. But here's the thing most people don't realize.. if your child has a genetic disease, his or her stem cells can not be used to treat that disease because those cells carry the same genetic disorder. Also, most cord blood is stored individually but shares a rack with hundreds of other samples. Every single time a sample is taken from that rack, the temperature rises as it has to be taken from liquid nitrogen and over time the sample degrades. It is being discovered that hundreds of thousands of samples have been destroyed by repeated accessing of samples.

Sex-Based Differences in Exercise Metabolism:
Men and women are certainly different, and those differences are readily apparent in each gender's physiological response to exercise. Four lectures will address how differences in male and female metabolism, both during and after exercise based on other factors, can be linked to differences in body composition, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation. Attendees will take away from this symposium an up-to-date view of the sex-based differences in various aspects of metabolismfat, protein, and post-exercise recoveryand be able to link this into a comparative view of how men and women adapt to various forms of chronic exercise training. (Wednesday, April, 24, 10:30 a.m. Location: BCEC, 206A)
Emerging Concepts in Understanding Mechanisms of Diabetes:
The Diabetes Health Center reports that more than half of all Americans may develop diabetes or prediabetes by 2020 unless prevention strategies aimed at weight loss and increased physical activity are widely implemented. Key to prevention is effective research and the five lectures in this symposium will address kidney function, endocrine function and insulin resistance, cardiac and vascular function, role of muscle mass in insulin resistance, cell physiology and adipogenesis, and stem cell differentiation. This session will provide new insights and emerging concepts about the pathology of obe

Researchers are currently working on a smartphone app that will test your stress level easily and cost-effectively.
Essentially, users will collect their saliva with a small external device, allow the saliva to travel onto an assay strip, and then take a flash photo of the strip with their phones. The app will then measure the amount of cortisol, a stress hormone, in the saliva.
So, rather than going to a lab and paying up to $50 for a stress test, you will be able to administer the analysis yourself with your phone and a cheap, simple tube, reports Viral Global News.
Developers intend for the design of the app and device to be extremely straightforward for users.
"We are trying to make sure a skilled 8th-grader—a 12-year-old—can get accurate results," wrote optical engineer Dr. Randall Polson, according to Reuters.
Of the many uses this health app may provide, one is the prevention of psychotic depression. Dr. Joel Ehrenkranz, the lead developer, notes that cortisol levels will elevate prior to the onset of psychosis. Individuals at risk for psychotic depression can use the software to monitor themselves and seek assistance early.

Oklahoma City Council Ward 2 fundraising documents display candidates' differences
Swinton has raised $104,356 and spent $63,808. At least $13,000 raised can attributed to PACs or other special interest groups.
Swinton's totals do not include money spent by the Committee for Oklahoma City Momentum, which is making independent expenditures in running its own campaign in support of the
So far, Oklahoma City Momentum has spent more than $400,000 running campaigns supporting Swinton and three other candidates, according to documents filed late
Where the money comes from
Swinton and Shadid defended their different fundraising philosophies.
Swinton's top contributors were the Chesapeake Oklahoma PAC and Aubrey McClendon, chief executive of Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp., each of which gave Swinton $5,000. Larry J. Nichols, executive chairman and chief executive of Devon Energy Corp., also gave $5,000.
Other PAC contributions to Swinton include $3,000 from the Oklahoma City Retired Firefighters, $2,000 from the Oklahoma Municipal Contractors Association PAC, $1,000 from the Southwest Laborers District Council PAC and $500 from the Cox Communications PAC.
"I think as people have heard where we stand on the issues, they're willing to step up," Swinton said. "I don't have financial resources to fund the campaign myself, so I have to raise the money."
While Shadid himself had supplied his campaign with nearly 83 percent of its money, four other donors, contributing a total of $2,750, also have the last name Shadid.
"I want to hear everybody's proposals," he said. "Everybody will know I haven't taken any money from any of their competing interest either."
Ward 2 fundraising
The Oklahoma City Council Ward 2 election ended in runoff scheduled for April 5 between bank officer Charlie Swinton and physician Ed Shadid. Both candidates by far raised and spent the most money of the original six candidates in the March 1 election. Swinton and Shadid are continuing to raise and spend money as the April 5 runoff approaches.

Patient Comments: Pink Eye - Facts
Did your pinkeye spread to any other members of your family?
Comment from: Nonie, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 14
I am a 62 year old female with first case of pink eye. I got it from an infected patient at a chiropractic office where I work. The doctor at the office also has had it. It's been 2 days of using ofloxacin drops. I also have thick nasal discharge and tenderness in neck/throat area. Probably I'll be going back to the doctor tomorrow. I'm very angry with this person who used public transportation to the office, infecting so many people and costing me all my personal/sick days!
Comment from: MesaLinda, 7-12 Female (Caregiver) Published: July 28
I saw a nurse practitioner in a pain medical management office where I go due to severe back pain relating to scoliosis, DJD (degenerative joint disease), and several other spine conditions. She reduced my pain medicines and took my hand and prayed out loud for me! I go to a doctor for science, not religion! The office ladies told me I won't be seeing her on my next visit. I had been suffering with this condition for almost a month at that time. She didn't even name it. I ended up going to an urgent care after a few more weeks of intolerable pain. I am already on a muscle relaxer and 2 pain medicines and was bed bound due to torticollis. I was told by urgent care to stretch my neck and if it hurt I was doing it right. I wasn't even shown how to do stretches correctly. My chiropractor didn't even give it a name or prognosis other than, 'you are a mess!' Where have all the good doctors gone! I certainly hope others have better luck than I am having. I can't drive because I can't turn my head. It even hurts to brush my hair. Being a retired nurse I have lost faith in the medical system, especially if you are on Medicare.

My 6-year-old son had pink eye. I took him to doctor and got eyedrops. His symptoms were gone in about five days. I thought we were all good, but then his sister got it, too, seven days later.
Published: October 19
I did not get pink-eye until I was an adult. I got it right after I had my thyroid removed and it was reoccurring. It was very severe in both eyes. Once I was able to stabilize my THS with the right dosage of Levothyroxine I no longer would get pink-eye .There are also other eye diseases that have similar symptoms that need to be diagnosed by an eye doctor , go to see one instead of a G.P. if you ever have what you think is pink-eye.
Comment from: Marlene, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: July 12
My great-grandkids had pink eye, treated with Polysporin. 10 days later they met my son, who got pink eye 5 days later. He stayed with me the first 2 days, and now, 11 days after that, I have it. I'm 75 and never had it before.
Comment from: henrysmom, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: May 13
We went to San Diego with the high school band. One of the chaperones had pinkeye in both eyes so bad that she wore her sunglasses inside and outside for the first day and a half. About 10 days later, our son had a horrible cough/ cold and pinkeye. Five days later, my husband got a milder case of it. Now, five days later, I have it in both eyes, along with a sore throat and bad cough. All thanks to the "princess" that couldn't stay home when she should have.
Comment from: Shine, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: May 09
I've had pinkeye over and over in the past month. Like a fool, I continue to wear makeup. I ran out of the meds the doctor gave me. So I threw out all my makeup and bought new stuff and more drops (Polysporin Antibiotic Eye/Ear Drops). I haven't touched my new makeup yet – I refuse to until the pinkeye is cleared up, although it is very tempting. I also boiled all my shower stuff, including my eyelash crimper and tweezers, for at least an hour. I let my makeup case sit in very hot water to try to save what I can. I wash the door handles every day and change my bedding regularly. The latest time I got pinkeye, I was still using my old drops for at least a week. Now I've been using Polysporin drops for a week. I've read that pinkeye can last 7 to 14 days. My eyes aren't red anymore but I still get a tiny bit of discharge. When I put the drops in it causes an unbearable itch. I'm trying my best not to touch my eyes. I don't know if I should continue to use my drops or if this will cause more bacterial infection. I don't want to have to pay $75 to see the doctor again. I miss wearing makeup.

Compton and Gallaway (1990) defined Social welfare as "an organized set of norms and institutions through which we carry out our collective responsibilities to meet needs." In unison, Zastrow (2000) noted that the goals of social welfare were to "fulfil the financial, health, and recreational requirements of all individuals in a society." This also included the enhancement of social functioning of all age and class groups.
Social work can be considered as an applied science of helping people achieve an effective level of psychosocial functioning. The National Association Of Social Workers (NASW) makes the definition even more precise when they refer to it as a way "to enhance human well being and help meet the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty."
It can therefore be said that social welfare encompassed social work and that they are primarily similar at the level of practice. Skidmore et al (1991, .p. 4) reinforced this key point by noting, "social services came first, and the methods of social work developed out of social welfare."

CORAL GABLES, FL (July 9, 2010) Defeating the flu is challenging because the virus responsible for the disease undergoes frequent changes of its genetic code, making it difficult for scientists to manufacture effective vaccines for the seasonal flu in a timely manner. Now, a University of Miami (UM) computer scientist, Dimitris Papamichail, and a team of researchers from Stony Brook University have developed a rapid and effective approach to produce vaccines for new strains of influenza viruses. The researchers hope to develop the new technology and provide an efficient method to confront the threat of seasonal epidemics.
The novel approach uses computer algorithms created by Papamichail and scientists from Stony Brook University to design viruses that serve as live vaccines, which are then synthesized to specification. The new method is called Synthetic Attenuated Virus Engineering (SAVE). The findings are available in a study titled "Live attenuated influenza virus vaccines by computer-aided rational design," now available as an advance online publication by Nature Biotechnology.
"We have been able to produce an entirely novel method to systematically design vaccines using computer algorithms," says Papamichail, assistant professor of Computer Science in the College of Arts and Sciences at UM and co-author of the study. "Our approach is not only useful for influenza; it is also applicable to a wide range of viruses."
One way to make an anti-viral vaccine is to weaken a virus to the point where it cannot cause sickness, and then use the weakened virus as a live vaccine. Although such weakened viruses often make very effective vaccines, they suffer from the possibility that the virus can sometimes mutate to regain virulence.
In this study, the researchers used a novel approach to weaken the influenza virus: they made a synthetic genome of the virus containing hundreds of changes to its genetic code. The computer algor

Re: Clearing cookies, cache and what are plug ins? in response to Carolyn Samit
Thank you Carolyn!
I did clear the cache.
And after I cleared the "cookies" by clicking on Remove all website data, it only removed the ones named as cookies, do I then just leave these other "291 websites stored cookies or other data". Or remove them manually? You explained very nicely to me that even though it says PLUG-INS they are still cookies, but were not removed.

Pivot point is designed to work in a vertical travel path, pulling in that path is most efficient. Side loading is not efficient. This is a mechanical view, I'm not saying your way doesn't work, it's that it puts more friction and stress on the pivot point.

Even while pocketing billions in bailouts, the captains of industry who wrecked the world economy sneer at government. Just imagine, they say, if their businesses were run like the post office. "You mean the place that takes a note in my hand in L.A. on Monday and gives it to my sister in New Jersey on Wednesday for 42 cents? Well, let me be the first to say I would be thrilled if America's health care system is anything near as functional as the post office."
Another zinger from the show: "Ronald Reagan used to say the nine most terrifying words in the English language were 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' But that was before 'I'm Sarah Palin, now show me the launch codes.' "

Inexpensive Winco CO-711 waiter's corkscrews are one of the best things you can provide your staff. Not only do they allow for tableside wine serving, but also have a beer bottle opener and wine foil knife attached. The best part is they're simple to use and are free from fancy gadgets and springs that tend to break.
We say they are simple to use (and they are), but the trick is knowing that the beer bottle opener end is what is used on the side of the wine bottle to help add leverage as the cork is being pulled out.

The iron-nickel oxides, he said, have higher catalytic activity than the precious-metal-based catalytic materials that have been thought to be the best for the job.
"What we found is that when we take nickel oxide films that start out as a crystalline material with the rock-salt structure like table salt, they absorb iron impurities and spontaneously convert into materials with a layered structure during the catalysis process," Boettcher said.
Lena Trotochaud, a doctoral student and lead author on both papers, studied this process and how the films can be combined with semiconductors. "The semiconductors absorb the light, generating electron-hole pairs which move onto the catalyst material and proceed to drive the water-splitting reaction, creating fuel," Boettcher said.
The computer modeling was used to understand how the amount of sunlight that the catalyst blocks from reaching the semiconductor can be minimized while simultaneously speeding up the reaction with water to form oxygen gas. This basic discovery remains a lab accomplishment for now, but it could advance to testing in a prototype device, Boettcher added.
"We're now looking at the fundamental reasons why these materials are good," Trotochaud said. "We are trying to understand how the catalyst works by focusing on the chemistry that is happening, and then also recognizing how that fits into a real system. Our research is fundamentally guiding how you would take these catalysts and incorporate them into some

text: The IIIC was my first 35mm, my aunts gave it to me for high school graduation in 1966. Still have mine, meter still works, optics were very good for the time. After moving to SLR the next year I found that the swithing from a Pentex and Konica T to the III took a little getting us, film winder on the bottom, setting the expousre using the interlocking EV scale takes a moment to remember what to and the steps, same for rewinding and loading film. The viewfinder is good. I have both the 35mm and 85 lens, but have not used them in decades, just a wast time, very slow and heavy. What I do like about the IIIC, other than an emotional attachment, is that it folds up and fits in my 4X5 bag. If you want a folder the IIIC is ok, but if just want an odd rangfinder look at at the IIIS.

Lindsay Lohan's SNL was rough, but we did get a couple of great Hamm appearances. She can come back anytime as long as she promises to bring him with her.

Unexpected paradise found at Saffire Freycinet, TasmaniaPosted by Degustation/Fine dining, Featured, Luxury, Resorts, Restaurants, Tasmania, Travel | Categories:
I recently traveled to Tasmania on a two-week working holiday to help out at a colleague's cat-only veterinary clinic. The Australia Day long weekend was conveniently embedded in the middle of my trip and so the Boy flew over on the Friday to join me. I was getting paid holiday pay from my work in addition to my locum wage from the cat clinic so I decided to splurge and booked us two nights accommodation at the luxury resort Saffire Freycinet on the east coast of Tasmania.
Saffire Freycinet is a two and a half hour drive north of Hobart through some very picturesque landscapes. The road is windy and undulating making it slow going but is enjoyable to do at a leisurely pace. The Freycinet peninsula is a stunning part of Tasmania with much of this area now turned into a National Park to preserve its natural beauty. The landscape is made of massive eroded mountains of granite known as The Hazards, Mt Graham and Mt Freycinet. These mountains are thought to be over 400 million years old and are home to many native wildlife creatures.
Lake House, DaylesfordPosted by Accommodation, Degustation/Fine dining, Featured, Hotels, Luxury, Melbourne, Regional Victoria, Restaurants, Travel | Categories:
Not everyone marries their best friend and I am so grateful that I was blessed with the opportunity to be one of those lucky ones. Whilst our life is by no means perfect, for the major things we are invariably on the same page. Where we want to live. Our love for animals. Our passion for fine food. Particular black truffles and chocolate. Our core values. And, our love for staying at luxury lodges and hotels! 😉
For our Christmas present to each other we chose to forgo buying each other materialistic stuff, I mean who really needs stuff? We both work and play hard, sometimes too much so, such that our best gift to each other is just spending quality time together. I was once again reminded that I married my soul mate when he agreed without hesitation to go stay at the Lake House in Daylesford for a couple of nights squeezed in between our family Christmas in Melbourne and a friend's wedding on New Year.
Make it all legal at the Crown Promenade and The Merrywell, Crown PerthPosted by Accommodation, Featured, Hotels, Luxury, Perth, Pub, Restaurants, Wedding | Categories:
In March this year, I married the love of my life in the most magical fairy-tale wedding of my dreams. Because we chose to get married in Thailand, our wedding was not legally recognised back in Australia unless we made a pre-wedding pilgrimage to Bangkok to arrange the necessary papers. Prior to getting hitched, the Boy and I had already spent more than ten years together and we had always celebrated our anniversary in April often with much greater enthusiasm than for either of our birthdays. It seemed logical to us, that upon our return from Thailand we would arrange a very private official ceremony back in Perth specifically on our anniversary date. This enabled us to invite special friends that weren't for able to join us in Thailand. It also means we now get to celebrate TWO anniversaries! 😉
Luxury Accommodation at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, SingaporePosted by Accommodation, Bars, Featured, Hotels, Luxury, Singapore, Travel | Categories:
I may have inadvertently blown our wedding budget to the point that there was very little left in our kitty for a honeymoon. Our original plans were to go on a six week drive up the West coast of America followed by a week in New York. My fantasy of cruising up Route 101 in a bright red convertible with the wind in my hair and not a care in the world has been pushed far, far away into the very distant future. Our make shift post-wedding holiday was instead to be a four day stopover in Singapore; an easy holiday to do as Jetstar land in Singapore on their way back from Phuket anyway.
Our Most Amazing Wedding at Andara Resort, PhuketPosted by Accommodation, Featured, Hotels, Luxury, Perth, Resorts, Thailand, Travel, Wedding | Categories:
It is literally impossible to put down in words the sheer joy and emotion of our wedding day. I have wanted to share our big day with you, my dear readers, for months and months but every time I try to put pen to paper I come up blank. How do you describe the best day of your life?
We chose to have a very intimate wedding with only 34 guests including our close friends and family. Every single one of our guests came with such wonderful love and happiness and this injected immense energy and passion into the whole day. Here are some moments from our day.

The breath taking villa at Andara Resort: Our home for the week of our Phuket WeddingPosted by Accommodation, Beach, Featured, Hotels, Luxury, Thai, Thailand, Wedding | Categories:
Part Two: Our Phuket Wedding Villa at Andara Resort
After a few short and very hectic days staying at the stunning Andara Resort in one of their Pool Residences we finished off our last-minute Phuket wedding planning just in time for our wedding guests to start to arrive. This moment signalled our "moving day" where we were to move into the villa of our dreams. This would be the place where we would say our vows, become husband and wife and spend our first days as Mr and Mrs together. Eeeeek! So exciting!
Andara's villas are situated up high on the mountain side overlooking the Andaman Sea. Each villa has its own full-time staff including a private chef. The villas are kept in an immaculate state and no matter where I took photos from various points around our enormous lodgings; I could never completely capture its incredible emotion and beauty. After an initial scare where our original choice of villa was alleged to have water damage, we managed with some persuasion to negotiate getting a larger but just as beautiful villa replacement.
Blowing the budget at Guy Savoy, Marina Bay Sands, SingaporePosted by Degustation/Fine dining, European, Featured, French, Luxury, Restaurants, Singapore, Travel | Categories:
After landing in Singapore on the overnight flight from Perth I was accompanied by the Boy and one of my business partners Woki to attend a friend's wedding at the Fairmont Hotel. Not willing to be discouraged by our lack of sleep we refused to waste our free day and spent most of it exploring the city. We conveniently ended our self-guided tour at Ku De Ta which is situated on the 57th level of one of the three Marina Bay Sands (MBS) towers. Sipping our drinks we watched a blanket of dark ominous clouds slowly envelop the city from our viewpoint on high and by the time the tropical storm reached us we were all seriously hungry. We headed back downstairs in search of some food.
Andara Resort & Villas, Phuket & choosing our Wedding VenuePosted by Accommodation, Featured, Hotels, Luxury, Resorts, Restaurants, Thai, Thailand, Travel, Wedding | Categories:
I cannot believe we are back in Thailand already! It was only about three months ago we arrived in Phuket for the first time to celebrate our dear friend's wedding and yet here we are again. But better still this time we are here to start planning our own wedding! So exciting! We were both so amped to start the hunt for our venue and after our interesting culinary experiences at the Patong night markets last night we were also pretty keen to enjoy some more traditional Thai food!
I am a bit of an organisational freak – I gain great pleasure in planning things down to the finite detail. So in my preparation for our wedding venue search I had spent hour upon hour back home in Perth trawling over the internet to ensuring we would to check out every perceivable suitable wedding location in Phuket. After numerous emails I managed to whittle my ridiculously long list down to a much more manageable eight resorts.
Opus at The Richardson HotelPosted by French, Hotels, Luxury, Perth, Restaurants, Travel | Categories:
As a surprise birthday present for the boy I organised for us a relaxing two nights stay at The Richardson with their Autumn Escape package which included degustation for two in their restaurant Opus. The rooms were well appointed, they were certainly not as new and fancy as some other five star locations we have stayed at however we didn't seem notice or care as their customer service was beyond impeccable. The minibar was very well stocked and quite fairly priced. Even the freezer was filled full of food for purchase. The Nespresso machine was a great hit with me and thankfully the room came with free selection of pods to use! We stayed in one of their deluxe rooms and despite not getting the room upgrade to one of the suites that I was wishing for, there was an adequately equipped kitchen for the stay complete with microwave oven, plates, cutlery – all the things that are often quite annoying left out of rooms and only put into the suites. Our room had glimpses of Kings Park and overlooked leafy Richardson St. Overall the hotel experience was highlighted by unfaultable excellence in customer service – something that can be a little uncommon in Perth.

Moody's downgrades more Spanish units
Sat Jun 16, 2012 3:30AM
On June 13, the credit ratings agency downgraded the ratings of Spain by three levels, days after the country secured 100 billion euros (125 billion dollars) to rescue its banks.It said the bailout "will further increase the country's debt burden, which has risen dramatically since the onset of the financial crisis." On June 9, eurozone finance ministers agreed to lend 100 billion euros to Spain to save its teetering banks. Battered by the global financial downturn, the Spanish economy collapsed into recession in the second half of 2008, taking with it millions of jobs. Many economists believe Spain's economy will enter a new recession in the first two quarters of 2012. The worsening eurozone debt crisis has raised Spain's financing costs as well as concerns that the country might have to seek a European Union bailout similar to Greece. GJH/MF/JR/AZ

What I loved about Judy Rodgers during the brief time I spent with her: She wore long skirts in the kitchen. And sweaters. I never saw her in a chef coat, and didn't like to be called "Chef." In evaluating food with her staff before the night's service, she would use words such as "baroque" to describe a flavor. She held her abundant hair in a bun with No. 2 pencils. She let me work in her kitchen. She faxed me the notes she took as a 17-year-old of how the Troisgros brothers made their white veal stock. When I was making her famous ricotta gnocchi, she tasted them, told me to up the seasoning, and walked to the other side of the Zuni kitchen. I gave the batch another four-finger dose of salt.
