North Huntingdon zones could be reconfigured
North Huntingdon commissioners and planning leaders will meet together next month to discuss the township's zoning overhaul.
Planning commission members are working to revamp the 1991 zoning map, township planning director Andy Blenko said, and they're looking for input from commissioners.
In particular, Blenko said, planners have been discussing the depth of the commercial corridor along the western end of the township, which abuts Allegheny County.
"Should we be pushing commercial development towards that end of the township? Certainly Norwin Towne Square will help a lot — that will give a boost to that end of the township."
Work is under way for redevelopment of Norwin Towne Square, a 1950s-era plaza that commissioners last year deemed blighted and deteriorated.
Plans include a grocery store and a car dealership, both slated for completion this year.
The decades-old zoning map lists a somewhat arbitrary corridor, some of which coincides with property lines, Blenko said.
That means the map indicates a strip of commercial land, then leaves the rest residential.
That has caused problems, he said, because people may approach the township with a site plan but be unsure about whether a property is zoned commercial or residential.
"You end up with the applicant's engineers trying to measure from a map," Blenko said. "It's difficult to administer."
The map now lists a commercial corridor of about 300 to 350 feet along the township's western end. If a developer wants to build something big there, that might not be enough space, Blenko said.
The special meeting between planning commission and commissioners is scheduled for 6 p.m. Feb. 14 at the townhouse, prior to the commissioners regularly scheduled 7 p.m. meeting.

Rating: 4/5well... i really, really wanted this shield.
This review is from: Zagg Invisibleshield Screen For Samsung Galaxy S4 FFSAMGALS4S
Pros: It's an excellent shield when correctly applied. though small bubbles tend to form even when applied professionally, they go away within a day or two.
Cons: It's veryyyy difficult to apply without practice compared to typical film shields. expensive even at newegg's price if you want to buy several if you're worried about screwing up install.
Other Thoughts: i wound up damaging this during application (if you take too long you can overstretch the material) and spending another $40 total at the local big box for the same product with professional installation and tax. honestly it's a great product ...when correctly installed.

The Second Circuit court has overturned a temporary injunction which had blocked the indefinite detention provision of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) – meaning Americans can now once again be kidnapped and held without trial.
In September 2012, United States District Court Judge Katherine B. Forrest ruled that the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA was unconstitutional and blocked it permanently. However, within 24 hours of the ruling the Obama administration appealed lodged an appeal and the law has been under temporary injunction until now.
Americans can once again "legally†be snatched off the street and detained without trial based on the mere claim that they provided aid or support to terrorists, despite this being a total violation of habeas corpus.
The Tenth Amendment Center has a detailed breakdown of the ruling;
"In layman's terms, Forrest put a stop to indefinite detention, and the Second Circuit overturned that. It also permanently prohibited Forrest from attempting to do so again, ordering her to proceed with the case consistent with their opinion. NDAA "indefinite detention†powers are alive and well.â€
The group points out that the new Second Circuit ruling is completely incorrect because it claims that Section 1021 of the 2012 NDAA says nothing about the government's ability to detain citizens.
In reality, section 1021 states, "Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force . . . includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons . . . pending disposition under the law of war.â€
The ruling stems out of Hedges v. Obama, a lawsuit filed in January 2012. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges and several other high profile figures brought the case in order to protest against the potential that the law could be used to harass outspoken journalists and political activists.
"Sadly, the "victory†lasted about 10 months. Today, US totalitarianism wins again,â€Â laments Zero Hedge.

There's a really detailed article in today's Guardian (or is it Observer since it's a Sunday?) – discussing whether we should reduce the green belt to enable well-planned development and housing nearer cities.
It's interesting to just look at the size of the green belt visually (or belts, since it surrounds many cities, not just London). London's is the most non-sensical, as it covers a large proportion of the home counties. It's clear it needs updating.
On the positive side, it has kept a lot of the countryside near the cities green – but what has been the cost of this? It's generated a good proportion of the millions of commuters that travel into London (and other cities) every day. It's also kept house prices high as well as contributing to the smallest homes in Europe, as house developers try to fit as many dwellings into the remaining space as they can.
Read the article and consider the real price of opposing that housing development round the corner.

Your letters: Home Depot
Allow store to be built
I hope that the powers that be will allow a Home Depot to be built near Hampshire Road, site of the former Kmart store.
With rising gas prices, it is much too far for Westlake and Thousand Oaks residents to drive to the current Home Depot off Wendy Drive in Newbury Park. And, the Do-it Center isn't nearly as competitively priced.
— Dina Adler,
Westlake Village
Stop Home Depot
Thirty-six years ago, we moved to Westlake Village from Torrance, where surface-street traffic was becoming intolerable. Now, we are facing similar conditions in our lovely city. The Thousand Oaks City Council is on the threshold of approving a Home Depot next to one of the tightest on- and off-ramps on Highway 101 in the entire city — Hampshire Road.
Also, the current zoning for this land's use is C-1; however, based on Home Depot's line of goods sold, it should be C-3. But we all know that the City Council can change this zoning without constituents voting.
If Home Depot were allowed to do business at the Hampshire Road site, all our faithful, friendly businesses would be drastically impacted. Drive Thousand Oaks Boulevard and take note of the many small businesses that are serving our community — to name a few, Decor Paints, JC Plumbing, Do-it Center and now many new businesses with like products to offer, such as Dunn-Edwards and Custom Kitchens. This is not to mention the job losses to our citizens who live, work and play in Thousand Oaks.
If Westlake Village in Los Angeles County can stave off Lowe's, why can't the citizens of Westlake Village-Thousand Oaks stop Home Depot in its tracks?
The passage of Measure B will give each of us a say in our city government and how we want our special community preserved.
— Ann Nelson,
Westlake Village

Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame (Cretin-Derham Hall High School): "My No. 10 overall player in this year's draft, Michael Floyd is a talented receiver who offers everything that you look for in a premier receiver prospect. Outside of a few off-field question marks, Floyd is a complete prospect who has the athleticism and skill set to follow in the footsteps of Larry Fitzgerald as the next elite receiver to come out of the Twin Cities."2. Da'Jon McKnight, WR, Minnesota: "The downfield threat for the Gophers the past four years, Da'Jon McKnight projects as a late-round/priority undrafted free agent this year. He's a raw athlete with the type of basketball skills that translate well at the position. He needed to have a better senior year to lock up a chance at being drafted; however, he should get an opportunity somewhere this year."3. Trevor Olson, OT, Northern Illinois (Richfield HS): "An experienced four-year starter who was recruited to Northern Illinois by current Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill, Trevor Olson is a battle-tested veteran who has the raw size that you look for at the position (6 feet 6, 298 pounds).

Cheryl Jacques, president of the Human Rights Campaign — whose political action committee mounted an anti-Bush effort this year — has been asked to step down, several homosexual activists said yesterday.
The reported move comes after sharp election setbacks for advocates of same-sex "marriage," which was effectively banned by ballot measures in 11 states. President Bush's re-election — despite HRC's "George W. Bush: You're Fired" campaign — is the probable reason for a change in the group's leadership, which had been rumored for the past week.
"This election was cast as the biggest election of our generation, and we lost," said Wayne Besen, a former spokesman for HRC. "People are upset, they're hurt and they want some heads to roll."
Washington insider Hilary Rosen, former Recording Industry Association of America president, is expected to step in as interim executive director of HRC, reported the Advocate, a homosexual journal.
A spokesman for HRC yesterday declined to comment on the reports. "Things are still in motion," he said.
Washington-area Internet blogger Christian Grantham, citing sources connected to the HRC, was the first to report the shake-up, a decision he said was made Monday night by HRC board members.
The Advocate said it was not clear whether Ms. Jacques resigned or was fired from HRC, the nation's largest homosexual rights group. At its Advocate.com Web site, the magazine cited insiders who said Ms. Jacques was told to be "out of the building" by yesterday.
Some HRC board members apparently were "not pleased" with Ms. Jacques' handling of this year's election campaign, said Andy Thayer of Dontamend.com, a homosexual activist group that has been at odds with the HRC.
"Some [HRC] board members are pretty conservative … and, frankly, want to maintain a lifeline to the Bush administration and were ticked off at Jacques signing off on anti-Bush slogans on bumper stickers and so forth," Mr. Thayer said.
His group didn't support either candidate because neither Mr. Bush nor Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry supported same-sex "marriage," Mr. Thayer said. "So from our point of view, having the anti-Bush bumper stickers was just fine. The problem was there weren't anti-Kerry ones as well."
The choice of Ms. Rosen, who is reportedly close to former HRC President Elizabeth Birch, as the group's interim director is probably a smart move, despite Ms. Rosen's "Democratic Party baggage," said Michael Petrelis, a San Francisco AIDS activist.
If the HRC's anti-Bush campaign is a reason for the turnover, "how does it improve HRC's standing with the Bush administration" to replace Ms. Jacques with a known Democratic partisan, Mr. Petrelis asked.
"On the other hand, if Rosen is the new head of HRC, I've got to give her a lot of credit for having incredible connections in Washington. … We're talking major power broker," he said.
"If you want instant Washington credibility, [Ms. Rosen] is a natural person to go to," Mr. Besen said. "She definitely knows how to work in these tough circumstances."
Ms. Jacques, a former Massachusetts state senator, took over as the group's president in January after Ms. Birch, HRC's longtime president, stepped down.

The new Converged Media report, the culmination of a series of consumer and marketer surveys by London-based agency Seven.
Paid media is great for driving awareness and makes a promise to a consumer, but owned media is the vehicle by which to deliver against those promises.
So says the new Converged Media report, the culmination of a series of consumer and marketer surveys by London-based agency Seven. Marketers strongly agree with a converged approach to media, spending an increasing amount on paid while investing heavily in owned channels.
"There's a big shift in PR and Advertising. Although advertisements are still important, they don't work that well anymore," says Sam Bredl, Content and Marketing Manager at Take Off PR, a Vienna-based content marketing start-up. "Now you need to find your consumers' needs and produce information that can be used by them."
Useful information aside, Bredl suggests that marketers should create concise content and deliver the information in different formats. "It's important to create blog posts for your clients and use all social media channels," Bredl tells ClickZ.
Indeed, owned media, including blogs, email newsletters, brand websites and social media channels have increasingly appealed to marketers. More than 9 out of 10 brands have used an owned media channel or format in 2013, according to Seven, while 67 percent of marketers believe owned media will continue its upward trend next year.
Meanwhile, nearly 50 percent of advertisers agree that owned media is "important" or "extremely important". Four-fifths advertisers in the interview said that owned media is "very effective" or "somewhat effective" at delivering overall return on investment (ROI). This number is in line with the ratings given to both digital media (83 percent) and traditional paid media (78 percent).
A deeper look at the budget allocation reveals that owned media spend is spread across a variety of channels. Content-led websites, email and branded social media page including Facebook, Google+ and Twitter lead in spend.
Converged media goes beyond the use of both paid and owned media, to a deep understanding of the role each plays in assisting a customer in making a purchasing decision. Consumers and marketers agree that paid media rules at the beginning of the customer journey, says Seven. However, owned media is the key to conversion.
How can marketers begin to adopt a converged approach to new media? Seven recommends:
Paid and owned media are stronger together. Marketers recognize the opportunity and are hungry to work in this way, says Seven.
Seven conducted online surveys of 1,969 British consumers, as well as phone interviews with senior marketers from 71 members of the Incorporated Society of British Advertisers, in their research. Get the full Converged Media report from the Seven website.

Wild Man of the forest
Sunset at Waras Hut, Km 6 on the trail up Mount Kinabalu
Waras Hut was my accommodation for the night on the trail up Mount Kinabalu, before attempting the summit. I reached Low's Peak at 5.45am the next morning.
The highlights of a trip to Sabah include the diving at Pulau Sipadan, the Orang-Utangs at Sepiloc and climbing Mount Kinabalu. Mount Kinabalu is the highest mountain between the Himalayas and Papua Burat (New Guinea Island). It's a very steep climb from 1,800m to 4,100m through 3 different ecological zones. The park surrounding this massive granite rock is a world heritage site with one of the greatest ecological diversities on earth.
You can tell the tourists who have just climbed the mountain. They're the ones that limp; that can't, or at least don't want to walk up steps. I was one of Mount Kinabalu's victims. It's not the climb up the mountain that's the problem. It's the walk back down. For days after my ascent of the mountain I was intimidated by the high kerbs on the side of Sabah's roads. It took considerable effort to walk off the pavement (sidewalk) onto the road.
I along with thousands of others had become one of Mount Kinabalu's cripples, but standing on Low's Peak at the top of Mount Kinabalu as the sun rose was a sublime moment.
Pulau Labuan
I left Brunei on
Sepiloc Orang-Utang Sanctuary
the 25th of February by ferry (see my
last blog
). Which was just the latest leg of my multi-year around the world trip (click
for the link to previous blogs).
The ferry took me to the offshore island of
Pulau Labuan
, which is a tax free haven and financial centre off the coast of Sabah. I spent the night on the island before continuing to the capital of Sabah,
Kota Kinabalu
. K.K. as it is popularly known is set between tropical hills and the South China Sea. It is the state capital but didn't become the capital until after the Second World War when Sabah became a British Crown Colony for a short period before Independence and joining the Malaysian federation.
In fact Sabah was run by a private company, the
British North Borneo Chartered Company
between 1882 and 1942. In 1942 Sabah was occupied by the Japanese. It only became a British Crown Colony because the company couldn't afford the cost of re-construction after the 2nd World War.
All bookings for climbing Mount Kinabalu are done through Sutera Sanctuary Lodges. I discovered I would have to wait several days until I could climb the mountain because all
Ginger in Taman Pertanian Sabah (Sabah Agricultural Park) near Tenom
the accommodation in the mountain huts was booked out in advance.
So, I thought it would be an idea to take the only train line to the town of
. Except I found that the
North Borneo Railway
was closed down for maintenance. The views from the train are supposed to be spectacular but it looks as if it will be closed for most of 2007.
Instead I went to Tenom on the bus.
Tenon and Sabah Agricultural Park
Tenom is a small town in the interior of Sabah. It is in the centre of the area where the Murut hill tribes live. Many Murut warriors were killed in the giant uprising against the British colonists in the Rundun District in 1915. Even today many Murut 'warriors' still take their blowpipes and hunting dogs out to the jungle to catch supper.
Whilst in Tenom I visited
Taman Pertanian Sabah
(Sabah Agricultural Park). The Park has an amazing collection of native and introduced plants, landscape gardens and educational activities. There are also extensive jungle trekking trails in the area.
From Tenom I returned to KK via Kenningau.
The diving crew, Pulau Sipadan
I'm the one wearing a T-shirt. The others were all tall tanned Scandinavians.
Kinabalu Park
I finally made my way to the
Kinabalu Park
on the 3rd of March. It was only a 2 hour bus ride to the Park. I spent the first day walking trails within the park below the mountain.
The next day on the 4th of March I began my 2 day trek up the mountain.
I stated early, meeting my guide Abdul at 7.30am at the Park Headquarters. I had the foresight to hire a walking stick. It is compulsory to hire a guide. The climb of Mount Kinabalu is for most people a 2 day trek with a stop at km6 along the trail. Although some people have been known to run up the mountain and back in 3 hours! The trail was steep and it soon became hot in the sun. So, I took it very slowly taking 6 hours to get to Labuan Pata (km6), which is the rest stop for the night. I was staying in a hut 100m downhill from the restaurant at Labuan Rata. My hut was called Waras Hut. It was a hut made of corrugated iron with no heating. I was in a 4
Orchid, Taman Pertanian Sabah (Sabah Agricultural Park) near Tenom
bed dormitory. (It was the only place available). When the sun went down it got very cold.
Are we there yet?
My accommodation, Waras Hut was the first building that people arrived at when they got to the rest stop at Labuan Rata. In the evening the couple I was sharing with and myself watched late comers as they arrived just before sunset. It was better than any 'reality' TV. Everyone that passed us asked how far it was to the Labuan Rata check in. We assured them it wasn't far. The fact that some people were still arriving just before sunset means that they must have taken at least 7 hours to climb the mountain. No one is allowed to leave the starting gate of the trail after 11am in the morning. The entertainment was topped off by one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen.
Conquering Low's Peak
My cellphone alarm woke me at 1.50am. I got dressed and staggered up the hill to the restaurant for an early 2am breakfast. At 2.30am I set off for the top of the mountain with my guide Abdul. It

was not that dark because there was a full moon. My guide wasn't carrying a torch although I was wearing a head torch. I could see a surprising amount even without the torch because the full moon lit up the mountain side. It was a difficult climb - the first part was uneven huge granite rocks. I was dressed for the cold. After about half a km we came to the most dangerous part of the climb. From this point on there is a rope to the summit. When the rope starts there is a large notice warning of danger and insisting that people use the rope. Abdul told me that I had to use the rope for the next 250m. I didn't really need encouragement. The ground obviously fell away very precipitously. I was glad that I couldn't see too far down the side of the mountain as we were obviously hanging off the side of it. After 250m hauling myself along the rope the climb became easier. From this point onwards I was walking on a solid granite floor that was inclined steeply upwards. I didn't rush it.
Finally we got to a hill at the
Atkinson Clock Tower, Kota Kinabalu
end of the trail that appeared to be made up of large granite rocks. We had made it to Low's Peaks. I scrambled up the granite rocks and found that I was one of the first to make it to the peak at 5.45am. I was one of the first to the peak because I was one of the first to start the climb in the morning. The couple I shared a room with didn't start their climb till half an hour after me.
The view from Low's Peak at sunrise was sublime, with Borneo set out beneath us.
I climbed down from the very peak to a point just below in order to allow other people to have their photos taken on the top. I stayed just beneath the summit until 6.30am.
Limping down Mount Kinabalu
The climb back down to the rest camp at Labuan Rata wasn't too difficult. Although this time I could see have far the drop was when I was hanging onto the rope. I tried not to look down too often. I arrived back at the base camp at 8.15am. As I walked into the restaurant I noticed one

woman being carried into the restaurant with a man on each side supporting her. I rested at the camp till 9am, when I continued the walk down.
Whilst I was in the rest camp I managed to twist my ankle, which caused me a lot a trouble on my way down. The trail in the area just below the camp is full of very uneven granite rocks. My right ankle was weakened. In the first couple of 2km climb down from Labuan Rata I kept falling over as I re-twisted my ankle.
I had already fallen over 3 times. The path I was on was very narrow - on this stretch there was no passing room. So, I felt under pressure by people behind me to speed up. I started walking faster and fell again - this time forwards (on the other occasions I had fallen backwards onto by bottom). I fell forwards down the mountain. Fortunately Adbul my guide caught me.
We sat down. Someone offered cream to soothe the pain. Someone else produced an elasticated bandage from their bag. So, Abdul and the passing stranger bandaged up my ankle. This happened just before KM4 on
View from a waterfront cafe in Kota Kinabalu
the climb. I still had another 4km to walk down the mountain.
I took the rest of the mountain very slowly, but didn't fall again or re-twist my ankle. I made it down the mountain from the rest camp at Labuan Rata in 5 and a half hours. Every step down that mountain was a struggle.
I hadn't booked anything in the park for the day that I walked down the mountain. I could hardly walk. The easiest option was to get the shuttle bus back to KK, which is what I did. Once in KK I booked into a 4 star hotel to treat myself to some luxury. The
Jesselton Hotel
was opened when Sabah was still a British colony. It retains a certain colonial charm. It even has doormen dressed in colonial style safari suits and hats. I only stayed in the Jesselton one night but I stayed in KK for 3 nights. It took that long to recover. My ankle recovered quickly but I swear every muscle in my legs and knees was complaining for days! So, during that time I did very little, walking was painful!
Sandakan and Sepiloc
Ornamental Gardens, Taman Pertanian Sabah (Sabah Agricultural Park), near Tenom
Orang-Utang Sanctuary
After my rest in KK I took the bus to
which is the second largest town in Sabah. It used to be the capital of North Borneo when the colony was run by a private company. But after World War 2 the capital was moved to Kota Kinabalu (then known as Jesselton). Sandakan and KK were destroyed in the war. It took me all afternoon to reach Sandakan from KK, so I didn't visit Sepiloc till the following day. Downtown Sandakan is very grim - run down, dirty concrete blocks. There is a large building site on the waterfront where they are obviously building a new waterfront for the town. A few of the buildings are already open, like the new market, but most of the waterfront is a building site. Behind the building site are the very dirty, run down concrete blocks that don't look as if they have been maintained since they were built.
Sepiloc Rehabilitation Centre
is 15km outside of Sandakan. I visited it on the 9th (see the photos on this blog).
Semporna and Pulau Sipadan
There is one direct bus from Sandakan to
. I couldn't
Lake Rundun, Taman Pertanian Sabah (Sabah Agricultural Park), near Tenom
be bothered to catch it as it leaves very early. Instead I caught a minibus to Lahad Data which meant a 1 hour wait for the vehicle to fill. When it finally got to Lahad Data, I couldn't be bothered catching another minibus that day. Although someone tried to recruit me into their minibus I could see that they had no passengers. So, instead I decided to stay in Lahad Data for the night before carrying on to Semporna the next morning.
Semporna is a gateway for tourists, before proceeding offshore, to some of the country's finest diving sites including the world knowned Sipadan and Mabul Island.
Pulau Sipadan
is probably the best diving site in the world. I though don't have any underwater housing for my camera. So if you want to see some photos I would recommend that you click
here for Ali's blog
on this site.
I saw turtles, (small) sharks, hundreds of colourful fish I can't name and found myself swimming amongst huge parrot fish.
After Semporna and Sipadan I visited the border town of

"We have such a tremendously supportive community for causes like the Pajama Program. It's exciting to see all the encouragement from local business owners, families and individuals. I'm positive that we can make a big difference and really show this national organization what Beaufort is all about," says Dean Cowart. Dean Cowart and Kira Bailey of Vista Marketing Group are the Beaufort drive organizers.
"According to physicians supporting the program, new pajamas are a necessary part of promoting good health in children and preventing infections and disease, as well as providing psychological benefits," says Cowart who is intent on spreading the word.
To add another level of excitement, Cowart has implemented some creative marketing strategy and asked for businesses to participate in 'The Great Pajama Race'. All participating locations will receive a 'Nurture Bin' where they can then seek out their own imaginative ways to get their customers and employees to donate. The Nurture Bins will stay at these locations until December 12, where contribution totals and an overall winner will be announced.
Additionally, there will be an event to showcase the top business contributors, as well as various sponsorship levels for businesses to also join in the cause. Every participating business will be listed on the main website and promoted on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Donations can be made by dropping off new pajamas, new books, or by submitting checks made out to the 'Pajama Program' to P.O. Box 213, Beaufort SC 29901. Visit www.beaufortpajamas.com for current "Nurture Bin" locations or call (843) 548-0342 for more information.

About the Pajama Program:
The Pajama Program is a 501(c)(3) charity and provides new pajamas and new books to children in need, many of whom are waiting and hoping to be adopted. Many of these youngsters have been abused or abandoned and in many cases, have never enjoyed the simple comfort of having a loving mother or father tuck them in at bedtime. Since 2001, the Pajama Program has donated 407,202 new pajamas and 184,298 new books.

National & World Ag News Headlines
Effects of Winter Storms Take Time to Work Through Cattle Markets
USAgNet - 02/22/2011
Virtually all sectors of cattle and beef markets have been affected by two major winter storms that hit a week apart in February, leading producers to scramble to care for animals and maintain production.
"Significant snowfall and record low temperatures, especially with the wind chills, have disrupted markets and pushed both cattle and cattle managers well out of their normal operating ranges," said Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension livestock marketing specialist.
Worse, analysts expect it will take some time for ripple effects of the storms to work their way out of the system.
Spring calving is well under way. These cows are vulnerable, particularly from a nutritional standpoint. Nutritional stress could cause weak calves and more death loss this spring, and possibly poor rebreeding rates as well, that could affect the 2012 calf crop.
"Its important to provide adequate quantity and quality of feed for cows in order to avoid loss of condition that may not be apparent until after they calve and begin lactating," said Leland McDaniel, Carter County Extension director and agricultural educator.
Word-of-mouth reports indicated a number of stocker cattle have experienced poor performance and perhaps some weight loss for several days. The storms even caused some death loss, though it does not appear to have been widespread across Oklahoma.
Likewise, it does not appear that the winter storms caused feedlots to experience major cattle losses, at least those in the southern Great Plains states.
Boxed beef prices dropped this past week and may be an indication of demand resistance to higher prices. However, analysts caution that the storms disrupted both consumption and beef shipments so the true state of beef demand is not clear at this time.

howisitfeellike is 17th on the list of biggest poker winners tracked by HighstakesDB. The data is based on 163253 hands played and his total cash game profits amount to $3,107,738.
Rafi Amit is a professional poker player from Holon, Israel. In 2005, Amit made the news headlines, although probably not for the reasons he would've liked to. A virtually unknown player, he made it all the way to the heads-up stage of the $10,000 PL Omaha World Championship event. There, pissed off by the circumstances, he dropped the F-word and tournament officials jumped on the opportunity to dish out a rare 10-minute penalty. Amit was forced to stand around and to watch his stack slowly migrate to his opponent's side of the table, until he was allowed to jump back in.
He eventually managed to make a comeback and he won the event to collect his first WSOP bracelet, together with a $511k prize.
Amit is not the rockstar-type poker player though. When his family first found out about his poker playing, they strongly disapproved. As he proved though that he could be successful at it, he was eventually accepted.
He won his second WSOP bracelet in 2007, in the $1,000 Deuce To Seven Triple Draw Lowball event, pocketing a $227k prize that time around. This achievement of his had quite of bit of history to it too as he was forced to play the final table simultaneously with the PLO Championship event due to a scheduling problem. He eventually managed to pull off the win despite the distractions. All-in-all, he has had 8 cashes in various WSOP events in his career.

I installed WP on a host of my LAN, actually on a Synology NAS.
The LAN is connected to the WEB via a router which uses portmapping
to direct requests from the WEB to the NAS. Furthermore, the router's
IP is connected to a domain (www.jsesoft.org) via DynDNS.
Now, inside my LAN, WP works fine. However, from the WEB, there is a problem: Though my Blog is reachable from the WEB, no links can be
followed. The reason is the permalink: it's base URL is
http://192.168.1.3/... (actually the IP of the NAS in my LAN), which obviously unreachable from the WEB.
What can I do to solve the problem? How can I access my local WP from the WEB including following the links? How to fix the permalink thing?
Thank you.

To a modern visitor, the 'human landscape', the crush of people in the streets, of Dickens' London would seem disturbingly unfamiliar. Almost everything about the Londoners of the time – their clothes, hairstyles, language and even their smell – would bear little resemblance to the population of today. The first and perhaps most obvious thing an observer would notice about them would be their unhealthy appearance. Contemporary foreign visitors often mentioned the strapping build of Englishmen, the soft complexions of the women and the attractiveness of the children, and they may indeed have looked more robust than the peasantry of poorer European countries, but to us the great majority of people would seem smaller, thinner and more malnourished: the overworked adjective 'pinched' would apply to many faces. Although there were both brawny and overweight individuals, the appearance of many of their contemporaries reflected a lifetime of unhealthy and inadequate diet. The lined, shrivelled and toothless faces of the elderly (and some who seemed to be in their 70s would only have been about 40 years old) was witness to the fact that men and women could begin their working lives as small children and have no prospect of retirement. There would anyway be far fewer elderly people than we are accustomed to seeing. 'Good Mrs Brown', the hag who accosted Florence in a scene from Dombey and Son, might have been no older than middle-aged:
She was a very ugly old woman, with red rims round her eyes, and
a mouth that mumbled and chattered of itself when she was not
speaking. She was miserably dressed, and carried some skins over
her arm. She seemed to have followed Florence some little way at all

xPUD is an independent, open source and completely free distribution of Linux built around the powerful and widely used Mozilla Firefox web browser, designed to transform regular computers into reliable and unique kiosk systems.
It's distributed as a standard, multilingual Live CD
The xPUD distribution can be downloaded via Softpedia or directly from the project's homepage as a standard, minimal and multilingual LiveCD ISO image that runs on 32-bit and 64-bit computers with at least 256MB of RAM and 64MB free disk space.
A better desktop for your computer
"A Better Desktop For Your Computer" is the motto of xPUD, displayed on the Live CD boot menu, from where you can choose to start the live system with support for your favorite language. Supported languages include English, German, French, Russian, Polish, Galician, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese and Italian.
It starts in 5 seconds
The best thing about the xPUD operating system is that is starts in 5 seconds from the moment you choose a language from the Live CD boot menu, offering you some basic information about the system and allowing you to quickly setup wireless connections or power off the machine.
Integrates support for web apps
Another interesting feature is the integration of web apps, which will allow you to access the Facebook social networking service, view YouTube videos, interact with your Google Calendar, as well as to chat with friends and family using Meebo.
It's binary compatible with Ubuntu and Fedora
While xPUD is capable of transforming your regular computer into a kiosk-like station, making watching movies and Internet surfing as easy as pie, it is binary compatible with the Ubuntu and Fedora Linux distributions. It comes with a built-in file manager powered by PCManFM, GNOME MPlayer media player, XTerm terminal emulator and Mozilla Firefox web browser.

Weekend weather: drier, little warmer
After an unseasonably cold and wet week, many are looking for some rays of hope in the forecast.
Mother Nature might be able to provide some of those rays for the weekend before throwing the weather pattern back into its default pattern of mostly cloudy skies and rain.
A weakening area of low pressure will continue to provide scattered showers for Friday, but they won't be nearly as intense or consistent as the past several days. As a bonus, expect more in the way of sun breaks. Highs will be in the mid-60s.
The Kitsap Harbor Festival will kick off under partly to mostly cloudy skies Saturday morning, but skies should clear as the day progresses. Highs will be in the mid-60s.
Sunday should be the better day with partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.
Memorial Day looks mostly cloudy with light rain, and the rest of next week reveals more cool and showery weather, so be sure to take advantage of the favorable conditions this weekend.

"The bottom line is that the earlier patient distress is discovered and intervention is initiated, the better the recovery will be -- enabling patients to get better faster and go home quicker," said Dr. Blike. "The decreases in codes, rescue activations and ICU transfers are crucial indicators that we are catching deteriorations much earlier and that patients are safer because of it. We expect that our continued evaluation efforts will yield more financial and statistical data concerning Patient SafetyNet's impact on length of stays, patient throughput and new diagnosis identifications."
An influx of more acute patients, the growth and use of
patient-controlled analgesia, an increasing number of patients with
obstructive sleep apnea, and the ongoing clinician shortage are the
realities of today's general care floors. As a result, patients on general
care floors are at increased risk of un-witnessed adverse physiological
events, like respiratory distress or cardiac arrest. If the patient is not
monitored reliably using pulse oximetry technology with high specificity
and sensitivity, adverse events on the general care floors may result in
long-term health complications or death. Only Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse

About MeI NEED SOME HIGH FASHION SHOTS!!!!!
Time to get down to business! Im a lot easier reach on my facebook or cell.
Chances are, if i added you that i would simply DIE to work with you!
I enjoy doing out of the ordinary things and am all for the edgy scene. Have been told that my style is very eccentric and different. Despite that, im believed to be a jack of all trades. I like vivid scenery and makeup. At the same time I have a natural beauty.
My eyes are HUGE. I like to play them up a lot. Even so, makeup doesn't make me. Take off all the makeup and im still just as breathtaking. I am very slender and petite; legs that go for miles. ;)
I enjoy having fun and I usually know how to make my photographers day. Very open-minded and free-spirited. I take very well to constructive criticism and learn new things very easily. Just tell me what you are looking for and i can make it happen.
I have so many concepts/ideas floating around in this pretty little head of mine And just READY to make some art with anyone who's willing. I started this whole thing in July 2010 and believe i have a pretty powerful start. Im ready to make something of myself if you cant already tell. Im GOING places :)
I just recently got a colorful moth tattoo in the center of my chest. Why a moth? A moth is different than a butterfly. just as I try and be different from the rest of society. It signifies new life and freedom, flight and independence, speed and strength as well as beauty and fragility. :) i would love to do a shoot centered or themed around it. Dont be shy, come say hi! :)
(all my photos are in order from newest to oldest)
i do NOT DO NUDES.

text: We all have dreams, but it often takes a lot of work to make them come true. More than 50 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, a great American, delivered a seminal speech calling for equality in the United States. In my opinion, inherent in that speech and throughout his life's work, was an understanding that inequality is expressed in different ways in all sectors of a society.

|Phase II Study of Crenolanib (CP-868,596), a Selective and Potent Inhibitor of PDGFR, for the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors With the D842-related Mutations and Deletions, Including the D842V Mutation, in the PDGFRA Gene
- The primary end-point is overall response rate [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine the response rate of patients with advanced D842V mutant GIST, when treated with Crenolanib (CP-868,596). Response will primarily be determined by RECIST criteria
- Progression free survival rate [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine the progression free survival rate at 6 months in patients with advanced GIST with the D842V mutation in the PDGFRA gene, when treated with CP-868,596 (crenolanib).
- Obtain toxicity information [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To obtain additional toxicity information in patients with advanced GIST with the D842V mutation in the PDGFRA gene.
- PKPD analysis [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To obtain additional PK, pharmacodynamic and plasma inhibitory assay information in patients with advanced GIST with the D842V mutation in the PDGFRA gene.
|Study Start Date:
|April 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: Crenolanib (CP-868,596)
Drug: Crenolanib besylate (CP-868,596-26), Dose: 140mg BID
Highly potent inhibitor of both PDGFR receptors alpha and beta
Detailed Description:
Crenolanib (CP-868,596) is an orally bioavailable, selective inhibitor of PDGFR receptor tyrosine kinase with IC50s of 0.4 ng/mL and 0.8 ng/mL for PDGFRα and PDGFRβ, respectively.
In preclinical models of cell lines with the D842V mutation in the PDGFRA gene, crenolanib (CP-868,596) blocked phosphorylation of PDGFRα at nanomolar concentrations, suggesting that it may provide a clinical benefit to patients with D842V mutant GIST.
In addition, crenolanib was also active in inhibiting phosphorylation of cell lines with two point mutations (double mutants) PDGFRA V561D + D842V and PDGFRA T674I + D842V.
