January 17th, 2017 is the final date by which you are eligible to transfer your ticket to someone else, or to receive a partial refund for registration cancellations.
Tickets cancelled before October 1st, 2016 will receive a refund less 25% of your purchased ticket price; tickets cancelled between October 1st, 2016 and January 17th, 2017 will receive a refund less 50% of your purchased ticket price.

We do not support partial ticket-swaps or ticket sharing of any kind; nor do we prorate ticket costs if you are only able to attend certain conference days; nor can you apply the cost of a ticket to future events.
After January 17th, 2017, all tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable.
We suggest you consider investing in travel insurance, in case an extenuating event prevents you from attending. In the unlikely event that the conference is cancelled, we will refund all tickets. We will not, however, be able to refund flight, hotel, or other purchases people may make.
All listed speakers are confirmed -- however, sometimes life events such as sickness or death in the family prevent them from making it at the last minute. Speaker cancellations do not affect the cancellation policy. Purchase of a ticket indicates that you have read and agree to comply with this cancellation policy.
This policy is subject to change; all registered attendees will be notified of any changes.

We deliver thorough and impartial assessments of your security and compliance posture. Because what you don't know can-and will-hurt your organization.
We deliver on the promise of security for all of your information assets, providing you with the people, processes and technology necessary for success.
We stay ahead of ever-changing IT security requirements to ensure our clients' satisfaction. Contact us today for more information.
Our strategy is built on the foundation of assessing the current state of your network and providing the means to secure your intellectual property. Learn more about the ways we can partner with you to achieve your security goals.
First step to minimizing risk is to understand your risk.
Our optimization strategy combines addressing immediate needs with a long-term plan to keep your network secure.
Our Threat Intelligence Engine, RQ Aware, aggregates malicious data information that can be imported into most SIEM tools.
"We work with ReliaQuest's co-management group to create correlation rules and content that tunes out the noise and allows us to focus on the information that counts in our environment. Previous to working with ReliaQuest we were getting very little value out of previously purchased security tools."
"ReliaQuest has given our organization the ability to focus on communicating security information throughout our organization in an effort to get ahead of threats. Their co-management platform, technology agnostic approach and ability to have security engineering resources on site to troubleshoot and optimize a wide range of tools gives us the scale we need in an ever changing security landscape."
"We initially formed a partnership with ReliaQuest as it relates to our internal SIEM with ReliaQuest providing security expertise as it relates to optimizations and 24/7 management of our SIEM solution. Their expertise in the industry has provided efficiencies, and a new level of functionality to our SIEM implementations which has exceeded our initiation scope and has lead to other opportunities for our organization to capitalize on their vast breadth of knowledge in projects outside of SIEM. Their responses have been timely and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and reliable. I strongly recommend others to consider partnerships with ReliaQuest as they tackle ever increasingly complex security projects of any nature inside of their organization."
Threats we have detected via customer environments or our threat intelligence project.
Alerts and other threats we are monitoring in customer environments.
Alerts we create to notify the customer of an event.

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights for a business trip. There was a free shuttle to the hotel. Checking in was painless. The room was nice. It had a bedroom area that has doors to close it off from the area with the couch and desk (typical suite setup). I did have drinks in the hotel restaurant a couple nights, but no meals, so I can't comment on that. However, it did look like a nice establishment.
I will say that the one item that did stick out in my mind as negative was the elevator. It makes some noises I'd prefer an elevator did not, and it was rather slow. However, it did get me to and from my room without fail.
There is a short walk (15 minutes or so) to get to Old Town, but I believe the shuttle can be used to get you there as well. I did not ask. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would stay here again.

Essay - Socrates' - the Unexamined Life is not Worth Living Socrates...
Socrates' - The Unexamined Life is Not Worth Living
***** is convinced that "the unexamined life is not worth living for a hum*****n being" (Ap. 38a5*****6), it is clear that he must suppose *****re to be extremely high value in philosophical activity. But even this value is difficult to make out. Despite hav*****g lived by this principle for so many years now, Socrates is ***** ***** he remains ignorant of "anything fine and good" (Ap. 21d3-4). And because Socrates sees vice as *****hing other than moral ignorance, it might seem puzzling how he could claim to be any better *****f than those whose vice he has struggled ***** eradicate through philosophy. After all, he ***** no less ig*****rant than they are; his superior wisdom lies solely in ***** recogn*****ion of the ignorance he shares with them. Scattered throughout the early dialogues are a variety ***** principles which Socrates plainly endorses. *****' acceptance of these principles appears to have been generated through his practice of philosophy (Palmer, 1988). Thus, by living the philosophical ***** he has come to recognize a ***** ***** ways in which he ***** have acted wrongfully; by following ***** principles he has avoided ***** evils ***** might *****wise have committed. And precisely ***** happiness is assured ***** ***** action from the fact that Socrates can ***** a number of important judgments which guide him to good **********, we can be confident that at least up until ***** time of his trial, he is ***** some degree genuinely happy.
***** activity especially stands out--his examin*****ions ***** himself and others. It is precisely ***** activity, according to Socrates, that has made his life worthwhile. Socrates shows ***** he regards this ***** as necessary ***** happiness when he says, "the unexamined ***** is not worth ***** for a human being" (Ap. 38a5-6). He goes on ***** show that he thinks it is sufficient for ***** when he indicates ***** so long as he could engage in this activity, ***** would consider himself happy: he would count it ***** an "inconceivable happiness" (Ap. 41c3-4) if death offers him t***** opportunity to pursue his mission with the dead in Hades. In order ***** understand this claim, we do not need to assume that Socrates would miraculously receive virtue in the afterlife--just engaging in this ***** alone is enough ***** ***** to judge his condition happy. Accordingly, good activity is sufficient for happiness; ***** itself is not needed. But once ***** opportunity for good ***** has been taken away, as it has ***** by his conviction, and since he considers all of the possible penalties o*****r than paying a fine to be ***** (Ap. 37b5-e2), Socrates no longer counts his life as worthwhile, claiming that he will be better off *****, ***** if death is *****thing more than utter extinction (Ap. 40c5). The power of the jury ***** constrain what Socrates can do justly makes clear that no measure ***** happiness, however sm*****, can be ensured during one's life.

Whipple disease is an infectious, chronic multisystem disorder characterized by diarrhea, malabsorption, arthralgias, and (in later stages) involvement of the central nervous system [1]. The infection is caused by an intracellular bacterium for which the name Tropheryma whippelii has been proposed [2]. The pathogen has only recently been successfully isolated and propagated by using interleukin-4-deactivated macrophages [3]. Before the use of antibiotics, Whipple disease was fatal [4]; even with antimicrobial therapy, some patients have severe relapse [5–7].

The header on the Open Forum page includes the statement: ôAn active exchange of ideas, opinions and comments.ö Perhaps you should add ôand items of a factish nature.ö At this writing, Iĺm referring to the Mallard Fillmore cartoon published on September 25, 2013.
The cartoon shows Mallard reporting that ôFollowing news that Arctic Sea ice has grown by 60 percent* in 2013, the media now admitů that it is obviously ignorant, conservative, narrow-minded ice, making these data irrelevant.ö Tinsley is careful to give his source, sort of, with the asterisk leading the skeptical or curious to the website reason.com.
Of course, those who care to delve further can easily find the real story behind Tinsleyĺs number. Further, he can distort statistics all he wants, but lots of shipping companies, mining companies, oil companies, and many nationsĺ militaries are making big bets that Arctic Sea ice will continue an overall decline.
Everyone knows that ducks canĺt really talk. Money, however, speaks volumes.

leaves us with NO friends involved in all this
that we aren't also sexually involved with. And hence impossible to talk to about my own relationship worries. I get frustrated by that; it takes a lot for me to find that 'zing' - someone can be interesting, attractive, funny, whatever, but there's that indefinable something for me to want to have sex with them or not. Whereas for him, his criteria is basically any woman who is intelligent and good-looking. (Admittedly, that's better than some people!) I suppose that's another thing I need to adjust to.
Welllll, there you go, this being another reason to not fuck all your friends... ha! thanks! this just helped me feel a whole lot better about not doing so.
Sorry, I don't think this anything to do with you and everything to do with me and my feelings of feeling sane within my community. There is absolutely nothing wrong with anything you've done, but it does make me feel better that I reserve sexual activities for a select few. thanks for that.
That time between 20's and 30's is an interesting one. Lots of possible things to occur. I think by 40 we kind of expect that there will be changes occurring between 30's and 40's. It's just part of life. I remember at 30 that I was kind of surprised. I turned 40 this past year and was ready to see what change came my way... I did the kid thing, did the family thing, have a career, house blah, blah, blah,,,.... now what. At 30 that is possibly all to come. Interesting to see what will come of your negotiations.

President Obama Is Joining Foursquare
What's next, Farmville?
Our commander-in-chief is going to begin using the social network on his swing through the Midwest this week. Somehow, it seems like the thrill of becoming the mayor of an establishment would be lessened if you're already the U.S. president, but maybe his Secret Service detail will join, and there'll be some healthy competition over who gets bragging rights to the Rose Garden.

Scot Jefferies has got a page 1 girl - not a mere page 3
But he already knew that, even before seeing his wife naked
on the front page of yesterday's Otago Daily Times.
''We get home delivery, so I was unwrapping it and walking
back inside when I saw the front page and thought: 'Oh, God.
It's Stacey','' Mr Jefferies recalled last night.
''Stacey is Stacey, so I wasn't completely surprised. But, I
was surprised to see it on the front page.''
Mrs Jefferies spent lunchtime on Tuesday naked in the centre
of Dunedin, apart from a body-painted Wonder Woman costume,
to mark her mastectomy tomorrow and to raise awareness of
breast cancer. She and sons Cole (6) and Ryder (4) managed to
keep the operation secret from Mr Jefferies until he saw the
''Radio stations started ringing at 7am. Another radio
announcer said: 'Scot, if you haven't seen the front page of
the ODT yet, you'd better hurry up,'' Mrs Jefferies
Mr Jefferies said he was proud of his wife.
''All of the guys were really good at work. A few had wee
smiles. A friend told me his wife was going to get checked
up, after reading the article. So that made me feel good,''
he said.
''People think it happens to someone else. But, when it does
happen, it really resets your priorities in life.''
Mrs Jefferies said she only had one regret about her stunt,
which was carried out on a windy 13degC Tuesday.
''I wish I'd done it today. Look at how sunny the weather is
today,'' she said ruefully.
The Cancer Society raised $145 at the event.
Mrs Jefferies had a pre-admission check yesterday and goes
into hospital for her mastectomy tomorrow.

I'm using version 5.0.51 on http://www.backstagefashionreports.com/events
The events are showing are always sorted by start date ascending. I can't change this to Descending, even though I set it like that in the settings.
The page Events has CONTENTS in its content and is used as the default page for showing events.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, since I've checked all options.
Only way to solve this (imo) is to manually add a shortcode which displays the events (but then I loose the pagination, if I'm not mistaken).

"My Second Home" Lovran by Enzyme_X
Lovran Travel Guide: 13 reviews and 30 photos
This is the town where my mom was born. And is also my second home (after Ljubljana).
I spend a lot of time here. Altough, less and less recently. Mostly because the town is kind of boaring. Nothing is really happening over here. Since the war times everything has gone bad. And local goverment is also a catastrophy for it's self (not to mention that these gready *...* threw us out of our apartment). In last few year they have't made anything to bring back turist. Some nearby places (Opatija f.i.) have succesfully recoverd, but not Lovran.
But it was such a nice place before. I remember that it used to be crowded with turist, events were taking places. And nowdays - coma.
But for those who just want to enjoy and relax , walk around it's OK. In the past it was specially popular in the winter, because of the mild climate.
When we had to move, we quickly built a new house next to my uncle. Before we lived in the center of Lovran. Now we are located up the hill. On the picture is a view from my balcony.

Identifying business cycle turning points with sequential Monte Carlo methods: an online and real-time application to the Euro area
We propose a new approach for detecting turning points and forecasting the level of economic activity in the business cycle. We make use of coincident indicators and of nonlinear and non-Gaussian latent variable models. We thus combine the ability of nonlinear models to capture the asymmetric features of the business cycle with information on the current state of the economy provided by coincident indicators. Our approach relies upon sequential Monte Carlo filtering techniques applied to time-nonhomogenous Markov-switching models. The transition probabilities are driven by a beta-distributed stochastic component and by a set of exogenous variables. We illustrate, in a full Bayesian and online context, the effectiveness of the methodology. We also measure its ability to identify turning points and to forecast the European business cycle on both realtime and last-revised data. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Entropy Vector: Connecting Science and Business
There is real value in trying to connect science to business, and this should not be overlooked in the drive to connect business to science. Science is far too important just to be left to the scientists. All of science is too large a prospect, so the authors of this book limit themselves to looking at disorder. We must all learn to manage and control change, and there is plenty of social, technical and business change going on. The authors suggest that a clearer understanding of entropy and the choices it presents will assist in that management of change - or, as they put it, to manage disorder one needs to control the entropy vector.

All Rise...
Judge Daryl Loomis believes that if somebody uses glue and a can of hairspray to do your hair, you care too much about being punk.
The Charge
Gabba gabba hey!
Opening Statement
Back in '92, this judge was a 16-year-old whippersnapper in Eugene, who loved going to the local shows at a tiny place called Icky's Teahouse. Grimy as hell and twice as hot, they would pack 250 kids into a place that should, by any fire code, hold about 50. I went about once a month, maybe less, and never knew who would be there, but I always saw cool stuff. On one occasion, the place was hosting a gay pride celebration with a number of queer punk and riot grrrl acts, most of whose names escape me now, but they were very loud and very intense, even if they weren't technically very good. After a few of the bands had come and gone, they took a break so they could have a safe sex demonstration. From one side of the stage came one of the groups of women, carrying a 10-foot phallus on their shoulders. From the other side, a group of guys came out with a massive pink condom and, together, they showed all of us the proper way to protect ourselves from disease. After a few more bands, headlined (if I remember correctly) by local success Bratmobile, we all went home sufficiently rocked with sore necks, hoarse voices, and a little wiser. These days, through experience, this whole thing seems a little tame to me, but it was a really big deal to my younger version. This was the definition of punk in my mind: playing loud and hard, riling up the kids, and opening their eyes.
Director Susan Dynner's documentary Punk's Not Dead captures the spirit of punk rock from its grass roots inception in the late '70s to its mainstream, Hot Topic current state. Dynner looks at the history of the genre to see how, from its DIY beginnings, the music became so mainstream. Using the connections she made as a photographer in the early '80s punk underground, Dynner paints a clear picture of punk's origins, the attitude that came along with it, and its subsequent acceptance in the status quo. The music remained underground until Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi started Dischord Records in Washington D.C. and Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion started Epitaph Records in L.A. Attaining national distribution for the bands in this scene took the music out of the underground, onto college radio and, from there, ascension into mainstream culture. Today, piercing and tattoos are mainstream, torn clothes and spiky purple hair is mainstream. The core attitude, however, the in-your-face intensity and the real disregard of authority has never become mainstream. Mega-huge modern "punk" bands like Green Day, Good Charlotte, and My Chemical Romance may have the look down. They may have the twinges of the sound, but they have none of the attitude. Instead of disregarding authority, instead of doing it themselves, they left themselves beholden to authority, taking every step possible toward maximum success. I can't fault a bunch of kids for wanting to be rock stars, but comparing them in any way to what bands like The Damned and UK Subs had done (and are still doing) is difficult at best. At the same time, taking the example of Green Day, their breakthrough album, Dookie, came out 14 years ago, longer than most of the bands represented in this film were ever around. It is this album that many of the young punk bands attribute as their first, so their influence on the genre is undeniably important. Without their help in making the genre acceptable, there is no way The Business would ever have been able to open for a band with the box office power of Good Charlotte. It may be a sad juxtaposition in quality between the two bands, but The Business got the biggest payday of their lives for those dates. I may think the new bands fly in the face of what their predecessors stood for, but their selling power and influence on the culture is clear. Punk's Not Dead does a very nice job giving the new bands a place to stand alongside the old, creating a thorough study of punk's evolution.
Through interviews and concert footage, Dynner lets the bands speak for themselves, both philosophically and artistically. Bands from different times and places are cut together, which keeps it from feeling like just a timeline at any point. While it sometimes feels chaotic to have an interview with members of Pennywise followed by a Black Flag performance, followed again by the people of My Chemical Romance, it does lend the sense that all of these groups are thoroughly connected, Dynner doesn't comment much on the action but, when she does, it is to humorous effect. Old footage of Quincy, M.D. talking about the horrible reality of slam dancing and modern shots of little kids with blue mohawks and cell phones really make light of the absurdity of both the punk look and the establishment's reaction to it. The film is at its best when following around the (so-called) longest, still running, punk band, The Addicts. No longer the young punks, though still in their A Clockwork Orange getup, their kids imitate them and diminish them while they tell stories of nearly 30 years on the road. They were and are a great band, they have a great perspective on what they've done through the years, and their presence is the most fun part of this documentary. The farther punk culture veers from its origins, the more it is romanticized by fans of the early days, and by myself included. It's refreshing that Dynner doesn't do the same, giving the new acts the same credence as the old, no matter how I feel about these kids' music these days.
Punk's Not Dead has been given a very nice presentation from MVD Visual. The video and audio qualities vary greatly, of course. There is footage from thirty years of music and it's valuable no matter lo-fi quality. The modern interview footage all looks very good and shows that there are no transfer issues with the film. About two hours of additional footage accompanies the film. Featurettes on punk rock hair and punk rock bowling are hilarious, along with deleted scenes and trailers round it out. This release will delight any and all punks out there (though owning a DVD player, I suppose, isn't very punk).
On the charges of obscenity, subversive behavior, and jeopardizing the public health, punk is found absolutely guilty and is free to go. Case dismissed.

How does an R-rated screen actor fill his gas tank off the set, asks Jerry Butler who's supposed to be a heartthrob named Rob "Lowest." Can we take a wild guess at the plot, here?
I can take or leave Butler with the dye job (he talks to the camera most of the time like the narrator in Our Town), and I can take or leave some of the philosophy. But as a video renter or buyer, I'd take this tape home for two simple reasons: Clair Tyler and her hot scenes with Butler and Tom Byron. Okay, all right, already, the Scarlet Windsor-Debi Diamond matchup is pretty nifty. yeah, and the Randy West/Windsor scene isn't bad, either. Am I suggesting you see this one for sex over plot?

Virginia does cover LMs and homebirth via medicaid. However, all pregnant mamas MUST join an HMO at the 30 day mark and not all of the HMOs cover LMs and homebirth (crazy, huh?). I've spent so many hours on the phone with various plans and learned the following.
Anthem - great to work with, I had no problems getting my clients an in-network exception.
Medallion - mostly rural, openly covers LMs/homebirth.
Premier - stated they do cover LMs/homebirth and they were friendly.
None of the other plans will cover homebirth. Definitely something to be aware of as you shop around if you're using medicaid! IMHO it's crazy that the *state* openly covers it and some of the HMOs can say no. The Premier and Anthem workers were very positive and even stated that it saves a lot of money.. so maybe the others will follow suit?
Happy single mom of six amazing children ~ Charlotte 15, Bethany 13, James 11, Joseph 7, Noah 6, and Naomi 4.
Blessed to be a CPM/LM in Virginia and doing work that I love.. as well as blessed to have worked with talented midwives who shared their knowledge with me.
LM? And is it still true that medicaid will cover a home birth i hope so im applying for medicaid now and i woujld love a different experience

A 32-year-old Canadian woman who had been declared
brain dead in December and kept on life support for six weeks
died on Sunday soon after giving birth to a baby boy.
Robyn Benson was just 22 weeks pregnant when she collapsed
from a cerebral hemorrhage and was declared brain dead.
Doctors in Victoria, British Columbia, kept her alive at her
husband's request so that their unborn baby would have a
better chance of survival.
"It is with a heavy heart but also with extreme proudness
that I am posting this update," Dylan Benson wrote on his
personal blog on Monday. "On Saturday evening, my beautiful
and amazing son, Iver Cohen Benson, was born. Iver is healthy
and is the cutest and most precious person I have ever met."
But with the birth of baby Iver, Benson had to say goodbye to
his wife of just seven months, who died on Sunday after being
taken off life support.
"I miss Robyn more than words can explain. I could not be
more impressed with her strength, and I am so lucky to have
known her," he wrote. "She will live on forever within Iver,
and in my heart."
Iver, born after just 28 weeks in the womb, weighed 2 pounds,
13 ounces, the Vancouver Sun reported. A full-term pregnancy
is 39 or 40 weeks, according to the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
"I don't think I have the right words to describe it," Benson
told the newspaper in an interview late on Monday. "It's the
best and definitely the worst thing to ever happen to me in
my life at the same time."
Benson described his son as healthy, though noted the baby
faces a "bumpy ride" as he continues to develop in a Victoria
hospital. A photograph posted on Benson's blog shows the
32-year-old information technology worker in the hospital
cuddling his tiny son, who is attached to wires and tubes.
The story follows a controversial case in Texas, where
Marlise Munoz, a pregnant brain-dead woman, was removed from
life support at her husband's request last month after a
lengthy court battle. Her husband said Munoz had told him she
did not want to be kept on life support.
The Texas hospital had fought to keep Munoz on life support
in a case that sparked fierce debate over the rights of a
fetus versus the right to die.
The story of Robyn Benson and her unborn son gripped people
across Canada and around the world, with donations to a
fundraising site set up for baby Iver raising more than
C$150,000 ($135,800) as of Tuesday morning.
The amount has far exceeded the C$36,000 goal set by Benson,
who had hoped to raise funds for bills, baby supplies and to
allow him to spend more time at home with his new son after
the birth.
"Thank you to each and every one of you for your love, your
kind words, and your support during this incredibly difficult
time," Benson wrote on his blog and fundraising site.

Big dividends kept rolling in throughout the afternoon,
starting with Maybe Flyin winning at $28.90 in the opening
event, a non-winners' mobile pace.
The Sands A Flyin mare was having her 28th start, but
trainer-driver Ray Needham, who is based at Hilderthorpe,
just north of Oamaru, always expected her to get at least one
''She's been unlucky two or three times on the way through up
to today,'' he said.
''She's taken a wee while but it doesn't matter. She'll go on
a bit yet.''
Needham had the mare sitting parked outside the leader for
much of the race, but he did not mind her facing the breeze.
''She doesn't pull or anything. She just sits there good and
you're always handy when you're turning for home.''
Needham bred the 5yr-old and decided to send the mare,
Tinamay, to Sands A Flyin, who made his name as a sire with
Monkey King. They were ''good all-round horses and good tough
horses'', Needham said.
''Toughness is what you look to breed into them, along with a
bit of speed.''
Maybe Flyin's 30th career start may be at Banks Peninsula
next Sunday.
Many share in successThere were many owners on course to
watch Austin Bromac step out of the maiden grade for Oamaru
trainer Warren Bartlett.
The McArdle gelding led early and handed up, before driver
Gerard O'Reilly punched the 4yr-old up along the passing lane
to win by three-quarters of a length.
Bartlett has trained Austin Bromac for his last six starts,
after owners Michael and Sue McGuire offered him a half-share
and the chance to train the gelding following
three unsuccessful runs out of John Hay's stable.
Bartlett went about setting up the Deerball Syndicate, which
is full of North Otago residents.
''It's a mixture of friends. There are truck drivers, service
station owners and all sorts,'' Bartlett said.
Austin Bromac had been edging closer to a win with a
last-start fourth at Ashburton, and Bartlett has had to work
the big-framed gelding out.
''He's always been all right [but] he's got such a big body,
he's taken a bit of organising.''

Good tips, especially on food and nightlife. Thanks a lot for sharing and Happy New Year for you from Far West (Poland) :-)))
Good solid tips. I remember too that vodka prevailed - in more ways than one! Birthday greetings from Alaska!
Excellent restaurant tips!
When my wife and I were in Khabarovsk, in spring of 1998, I clearly remember the dark brown water coming out of the faucet. It took several days before we were forced to bath. You are correct in recommending drinking bottled water.
Great page! Brings back happy memories!

useful tips, hope to build own page about Haba soon.
Nice page. Great restaurants tips. Greetings from Poland :)

When a firework fizzles instead of sizzles, it's known as a "dud."
Which brings us to our President. As I write this, he's giving his "Iraq is hard" speech for the 270th time. Last week, though, on the 4th of July, I believe he reached the zenith of his nadir, comparing the Iraq invasion with our own Revolutionary War. Yes, he did.
At this point, Bush is so far removed from any Earthly reality, that national news pool reportage is done via the Hubble Telescope.
Appearing before an invite-only audience of West Virginia Air National Guard troops and their families, Bush immediately awed the crowd by stating: "This isn't the first time our country has celebrated the 4th of July."
There was a stunned silence from all in attendance who thought they were there to celebrate a very loud Easter.
Bush donned his historian hat, pointing out "Our first Independence Day celebration took place in a midst of a war – a bloody and difficult struggle that would not end for six more years before America finally secured her freedom. More than two DECADES later, it is hard to imagine the Revolutionary War coming out any other way…"
In the audience, people with calculators blew out their batteries. Those with command of the English language got migraines. Several children began sniffling, imaging the Easter bunny in a bloody and difficult struggle.
Undaunted by facts, Bush continued:
"Those who wear the uniform are the successors of those who dropped their pitchforks and picked up their muskets to fight for liberty. Like those early patriots, you're fighting a new and unprecedented war – pledging your lives and honor to defend our freedom and way of life. In this war, the weapons have changed, and so have our enemies, but one thing remains the same: The men and women of the Guard stand ready to put on the uniform and fight for America."
Clearly, if Bush were in charge during our Revolutionary War, he would have battled the British by taking a flotilla of troops across the sea and attacking Sweden. (Thus teaching Sweden an important lesson – the ocean will no longer protect you.)
I cringe whenever Bush goes near a microphone. You never know what crap he'll spew. "Everything changed after 9/11!" "Remember the Maine!" or "Who stole my strawberries!?"
Yet, still he persists.
For anyone not paying attention, the Iraq fiasco has been compared to the American Civil War, World War II, post-war Germany, post-war Japan, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Somehow, World War I has been left out of the mix, presumably because Bush thought the term "fighting doughboys" had something to do with belligerent biscuits from Pilsbury.
For all his raucous rhetoric, Bush has seen his popularity sink like a stone. If Bush's poll ratings were transformed into Fahrenheit degrees, he'd be dog sledding instead of biking down in Crawford.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
With over 70% of Americans against the Iraq invasion, perhaps it's time Bush went to his speechwriters and asked them to make his Iraqi comparisons a little zippier. I mean, the guy will say anything these days.
He could try appealing to the young hunks of the country, by doing a Frank Miller spin. "Our men and women in uniform, today, are like the 300 Spartans who stood their ground against thousands of Persian troops led by Xylophone or somebody. They fought bravely until the end and would have won if the Democrats in Athens had allowed another surge. There's a lesson to be learned from this. Democrats are wieners."
Maybe he could appeal to film buffs. "The situation in Iraq reminds me of the movie 'Godzilla Vs. the Thing.' Now, the 'thing' was really Mothra. Some suit in Hollywood changed the Japanese title. Anyhow, like we were attacked on 9/11, Japan was attacked by Godzilla. Admittedly, we didn't tangle with a 2,000-foot tall lizard with radioactive breath, but you catch my drift. Our troops are a lot like Mothra, a giant moth that spit out goop and was peaceful, like America. Goaded into battle, Mothra was only supported by two six-inch Jap gals who sang a lot. They're like the Republican base. Seemingly outmatched, Mothra flew into battle and spit out all this goopy stuff and eventually K.O.'d Godzilla. It reminds me of World War II when Winston Churchill said: "I laugh at danger and spit in the eye of fear." Or, maybe, it was "I spit at danger and laugh in the eye of fear." Anyhow, he laughed and spit a lot. Wait a minute. It might not have been Churchill. Might've been Woody Allen."
He could try dredging up the memory of 9/11 one more time, too. "Now, a lot of people say that there's a civil war going on in Iraq. That our troops are battling both Shiites and Sunnis. They're wrong. We're battling al Qaeda. The same people responsible for 9/11. They're everywhere. Underground. Up in trees. Hiding in hampers. We know they're al Qaeda because they wear name tags and distinctive beanies. And they mock us. Not only do they assault us with IEDs, but with sarcasm. A lot of 'yo' mama' stuff. They want us to cut and run. They want us to leave. Then, they'll follow us home and really start dissing us. And what will our other enemies in the neighborhood think if we cut and run? Evildoers like Iran? The Iranians will pull down their pants and laugh at us. Of course, Democratic homos would love that. But that's not going to happen on my watch."
Or, he could keep it simple. "I had lunch with God today. It's in the bag."
And, so, with God on his side, Bush digs his heels in and leaves our troops to fend for themselves. As of this writing, 30 Americans have died this month and 3 British troops. The "official" tally of American troops slain is 3609, with 112 of those being suicides. Attacks on America's "Green Zone" are up. Nearly 250 innocent Iraqis died this past weekend. How many tens of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children will never live to pick up a pitchfork, let alone throw one down?
As Bush stays the course and Neo-Cons prepare for the '08 election by revealing that Nazis and Fascists were really Liberals (I'm not kidding.), and Iraq continues to crumble, may I offer my own humble advice to our Commanderer-in-Grief? Next time you come across a pitchfork? Sit on it.

Anectine Side Effects Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Anectine (succinylcholine chloride) is a skeletal muscle relaxant for intravenous (IV) administration indicated as an adjunct to general anesthesia, to facilitate tracheal intubation, and to provide skeletal muscle relaxation during surgery or mechanical ventilation. Common side effects of Anectine include muscle relaxation resulting in respiratory depression to the point of apnea. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur in rare instances. Other serious side effects of Anectine include cardiac arrest, life threatening elevation in body temperature, abnormal heart rhythms, fast or slow heart rate, high or low blood pressure, high blood potassium, prolonged slow breathing, increased eye pressure, muscle twitching, jaw rigidity, postoperative muscle pain, breakdown of muscle tissue (rhabdomyolysis), excessive salivation, and rash.
The dosage of Anectine is individualized and determined by the clinician after careful assessment of the patient. Anectine is only administered by a physician. Anectine may interact with promazine, oxytocin, antibiotics, quinidine, beta blockers, procainamide, lidocaine, trimethaphan, lithium carbonate, magnesium salts, quinine, chloroquine, isoflurane, desflurane, metoclopramide, and terbutaline. Tell your doctor all medications you are taking. Anectine should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. It is unknown whether Anectine can cause fetal harm. It is not known whether Anectine is excreted in human milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Our Anectine (succinylcholine chloride) Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is Prescribing information?
The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Anectine FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
Adverse reactions to succinylcholine consist primarily of an extension of its pharmacological actions. Succinylcholine causes profound muscle relaxation resulting in respiratory depression to the point of apnea; this effect may be prolonged. Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur in rare instances. The following additional adverse reactions have been reported: cardiac arrest, malignant hyperthermia, arrhythmias, bradycardia, tachycardia, hypertension, hypotension, hyperkalemia, prolonged respiratory depression or apnea, increased intraocular pressure, muscle fasciculation, jaw rigidity, postoperative muscle pain, rhabdomyolysis with possible myoglobinuric acute renal failure, excessive salivation, and rash.
There have been post-marketing reports of severe allergic reactions (anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions) associated with use of neuromuscular blocking agents, including ANECTINE (succinylcholine chloride) . These reactions, in some cases, have been life-threatening and fatal. Because these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS).

Shattering the Stereotypes: Muslim Women Speak Out
In the wake of September 11th, Muslim women in the West found themselves more marginalized than ever by a panicked discourse that did little to promote a true understanding of Islam or the Islamic world. Here, in this ambitious volume that includes essays, poetry, fiction, memoir, plays, and artwork, Muslim women speak for themselves, revealing a complexity of experience and thought that escapes most Western portrayals. Islam is, as editor Fawzia Afzal-Khan puts it, only "one spoke in the wheel of our lives." In Shattering the Stereotypes, essays by such writers as Ayesha Jalal, the Pakistani-American historian and MacArthur fellow, poems by award-winning poets including Suheir Hammad and Nathalie Handal, journalism from writers such as Barbara Nimri Aziz, and a selection of short fiction and plays that are not just ethnically but attitudinally diverse, together make a more rounded portrait of what it is to be a Muslim woman in the 21st century.
"Shattering the Stereotypes breaks open the poetic, complex, visionary, luscious, surprising, fierce, and uncompromising world of the women of Islam. An illuminating and educating must-read."-- Eve Ensler, author of the Vagina Monologues

3 hours a week, and I would gladly lay on hands and maybe a knife, in lieu of lead. Someone else responded that they would use lead because my way requires exertion and effort and they are lazy. All joking about this aside, you have raised a really good question. If you have an intruder to deal with and the ability to handle him with H2H, are you safer legally to shoot him then to man handle him in a way which might "accidentally" cause lethal injuries which were unintended. (Keeping in mind that
when you stop a threat with lead lethality is an unintended after effect of the attempt to stop the threat too.)

* Embraer shares jump after booking $4 bln deal * Bovespa continues to face technical resistance * Brazil Bovespa up 0.18 pct, Mexico IPC rises 0.14 pct By Asher Levine and Danielle Assalve SAO PAULO, Jan 24 Brazilian stocks gained on Thursday as shares of planemaker Embraer soared, though trading volume remained light and volatility was muted ahead of a market holiday. Mexico's IPC index rallied for a seventh straight day, while Chile's bourse fell its most in over two months. Brazil's benchmark Bovespa stock index rose for the second straight day, adding 0.18 percent to 62,080.75. Analysts said trading volume was light, however, as fewer investors looked to take positions with markets set to close for a local holiday on Friday. Shares of Embraer SA, the world's largest maker of regional jets, rocketed 10.25 percent after the company said it booked an order worth up to $4 billion with Republic Airways Holdings Inc. It was the biggest daily rise in Embraer's stock in nearly four years. Gains in the index were limited by a 0.6 percent fall in shares of OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes SA, the oil company controlled by Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista, and a 1.3 percent drop in steelmaker Gerdau SA. "There is a lot of turnover," said Marcio Cardoso, a partner with Titulo Corretora in Sao Paulo. "I still don't see (medium-term) investors in the market. The level of optimism out there is still not high enough to allow people to accept more risk." The Bovespa has faced technical resistance near 62,000 points for over a week, and has failed to swing more than 1 percent in either direction since Jan 8. Mexico's benchmark IPC index gained 0.14 percent to 45,507.37 points. Shares of broadcaster Televisa rose 0.36 percent after a local newspaper reported that telecom tycoon Carlos Slim's Telefonos de Mexico will have to resubmit its application to enter the television market. Chile's benchmark IPSA index dropped for the second straight day, losing 0.58 percent to 4,484.63 as a technical momentum indicator known as the MACD neared a "bearish cross," suggesting the index could fall further in coming sessions. Shares of industrial conglomerate Copec fell 1 percent, contributing most to the index's losses, while retailer Falabella dropped 0.64 percent.

"A briskly engaging book."
Christopher Benfey
View All Available Formats & Editions
Deep within New York's compelling, sprawling history lives an odd, ornery Manhattan native named Diedrich Knickerbocker.

In fact, he was New York's first truly homegrown
Deep within New York's compelling, sprawling history lives an odd, ornery Manhattan native named Diedrich Knickerbocker. The name may be familiar today: his story gave rise to generations of popular tributes—from a beer brand to a basketball team and more—but Knickerbocker himself has been forgotten. In fact, he was New York's first truly homegrown chronicler, and as a descendant of the Dutch settlers, he singlehandedly tried to reclaim the city for the Dutch. Almost singlehandedly, that is. Diedrich Knickerbocker was created in 1809 by a young Washington Irving, who used the character to narrate his classic satire, A History of New York. According to Irving's partisan narrator, everything good and distinctive, proud and powerful, about New York City—from the doughnuts to the twisting streets of lower Manhattan—could be traced back to New Amsterdam. Terrific general interest, cultural history of a city with a rich and lively literary past. First-ever book on the eponymous myth that has informed New York City culture since the early 1800s. Coincides with the two-hundredth anniversary of Washington Irving's publication of A History of New York. Perfect gift book or addition to library collection of New York Citythemed books.
Includes a gallery of images that brings Diedrich Knickerbocker, his myth, time, and place to life Knickerbocker engagingly traces the creation, evolution, and prevalence of Irving's imaginary historian in New York literature and history, art and advertising, from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Who would imagine this satiric character, at once a snob and a champion of the people, would endure for two hundred years? In Elizabeth L. Bradley's words, "Whether you call it 'blood,' style, attitude, or moxie, the little Dutchman could deliver." And, from this engaging work, it is clear that he does.
Bradley's stunning volume offers a surprising and delightful glimpse behind the scenes of New York history, and invites readers into the world of Knickerbocker, the antihero who surprised everyone by becoming the standard-bearer for the city's exceptional sense of self, or what we now call a New York "attitude."
"A briskly engaging book."
Christopher Benfey
Diedrich Knickerbocker, a fictional man of stature, flamboyance and Dutch lineage, gets a history and identity worthy of New York's swagger in this exploration by Bradley (a contributor to The Encyclopedia of New York City) of how Knickerbocker shaped the city's identity. The narrator of Washington Irving's A History of New York, Knickerbocker has charmed readers since 1809 with his half-fantastical urban history, one that inspired local pride at a time when, according to Bradley, the city faced an identity crisis. Peppered with anecdotes, such as Knickerbocker's claiming of the doughnut for his city, Bradley's account maintains that the proud Dutchman "inspired New Yorkers to assert their own idiosyncratic relationship to the city, and to its history." Knickerbocker was appropriated: for political gain during FDR's presidency, commercial reward for countless businesses and sports promotion for teams like the New York Knicks. While Bradley's flat prose fails to match the Knickerbocker's largesse, literary historians and proud New Yorkers alike will delight in the character who brought pomp and legend to the city first nicknamed Gotham by Washington Irving 200 years ago. (July)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Bradley (deputy director, Cullman Ctr. for Scholars & Writers, NYPL) draws upon archival resources to present the life cycle of Dietrich Knickerbocker, the boastful New York City resident Washington Irving created 200 years ago in his farcical, semifictional Knickerbocker's History of New-York. Her deceptively slim volume brims with information about the burgeoning use of Knickerbocker as a literary device in novels, newspaper articles, and advertisements as a touchstone of popular culture, e.g., think of beer, hotels, and baseball and basketball teams, to name only a few examples. Knickerbocker evolved from a trope for provincial Dutch descendants to an upper-class symbol to a more inclusive and unifying icon of New Yorkers generally, whether or not native born. Broader in scope than the much newer symbol of the Big Apple, the depicting of urban corporate identity (now termed branding) through the Knickerbocker moniker underscored that the residents of Gotham (itself an Irving-applied nickname) were proud and distinctive yet welcoming and often so exaggerated as to be endearing. Entertaining enough for the general reader-including those planning a trip to one of the world's most visited cities-and amply annotated for the scholar, this is highly recommended.

Elizabeth L. Bradley is deputy director of the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library.

Getting started with ExtJS and having issues with Async Tree
Hello all,
I'm just getting started with ExtJS so I am a little confused. I pretty much did a straight copy and paste of the drag-and-drop tree example, I'm getting this:
[{"id": "1","text": "child","leaf: True}]);
as a successful response back from the server but all I am getting is a box with 1 list item (Ext JS)
I would *greatly, greatly* appreciate any help here. Thanks in advance!
Ext.onReady(function(){ // shorthand var Tree = Ext.tree; var tree = new Tree.TreePanel({ el:'tree-div', useArrows:true, autoScroll:true, animate:true, enableDD:true, containerScroll: true, loader: new Tree.TreeLoader({ dataUrl:'Manage/Tree' }) }); var root = new Tree.AsyncTreeNode({ text: 'Ext JS', draggable:false, id:'0' }); tree.setRootNode(root); // render the tree tree.render(); root.expand(); });
