Hasn't there been another case in the last few years where something political has been scheduled on a major Jewish holiday? I can't recall if it was something city, county, or statewide, but it's not like Judaism is some obscure religion whose major holidays are a big mystery. There might not be a huge percentage of Jewish people across the state, but there's certainly a Jewish presence in Seattle.
I'm not religious at all and this scheduling wouldn't affect me at all - but if TPTB would take pains to not schedule the conventions on, say, Good Friday, then this could and should have been avoided.
Having grown up in a kinda-sorta Jewish environment, with lots of Jewish friends, you come to understand that Passover, particularly the first two days, is a major family event. Not unlike Thanksgiving. People fly all over the country to reunite with their families.
Even for the almost completely non-religious, like me, it rankles that they schedule things to overlap Passover.
yup that antiJewish monorail board got major shit for shceduling a meeting on Yom Kippur or something.
Clearly, no other political bodies like county councils, city councils, ST board, snohomish county bd., or anyone else, has ever committed such a devilish crime. Everyone knows: all political bodies reoutinely respect the rights not only of Jews but also Moslems, Hindus, and every other religion and sect in the world, and avoid scheduling any official business on any religious holidays of anyone.
But: doesn't Passover start at sundown? Thus, no conflict?
Please inform.
Oh and this: the prospect of adding religious war to the race and gender war brewing among Democrats is very enticing. But still, thought we'd all like to know about the latest in the Republican corroption and lobbying scandals:
Ex-Lawmaker Charged in Terror Conspiracy
By LARA JAKES JORDAN Associated Press Writer | Jan 16, 2008 | 80 words , 0 images
A former congressman and delegate to the United Nations was indicted Wednesday as part of a terrorist fundraising ring that allegedly sent more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida and Taliban supporter who has threatened U.S. and international troops in Afghanistan.
The former Republican congressman from Michigan, Mark Deli Siljander, was charged with money laundering, conspiracy and obstructing justice for allegedly lying about lobbying senators on behalf of an Islamic charity that authorities said was secretly sending funds to terrorists.
You know, the 43rd Dems and King County Dems tried to argue this point at the WSDCC, but the problem is the GOP scheduled their caucus for Saturday first.
But, you can register online now, and if you fill out a form (it's on the state dems website (anyone have a link?)) you can then indicate your preference, instructions for what to do if your choice doesn't make it to get a candidate, and even that you want to run as a delegate - if you're disabled, have a religious problem with attending (e.g. Jewish, Muslim, 7thDayAdventist, Pastafarian), or actively serving in military away from your caucus location).
Hope this helps.
But whining won't change anything - the rules were set in stone a month ago.
I'm okay with it, just so long as they don't schedule anything during No Ruz, Farvardigan, or Khordad Sal....
1. Will in Seattle: "the problem is the GOP scheduled their caucus for Saturday first."
So what?
2. Why is it "whining" to complain about it ?
I can think of lots of reasons for and against on this issue, but do we need to start denigrating folks based on what they think, or profess?
those crazy religious folks! well, the state shall make no law respecting... no respect!
I concur with 2- Passover is a big deal, even for us mostly non-religious Jews. It's one of the 3 non-gift holidays that I observe. It's a family gathering holiday. We used to go to New York every year to spend it with my relatives up there. Having the convention scheduled for a holiday that definitely ranks up there is pretty insulting and stupid.
also, even if it officially starts at sundown, you can still have plenty planned before then. that's like saying thanksgiving only starts when the turkey's on the table...
well, wedgewood & view ridge will go apeshit. its lubavitcheriffic!
This thread is making me hungry.
Is Issur on that list?
@10: thanks for the explanation. Noted.
But: this means we need to set aside as official non-business days, not only all religious holidays, but a few shoulder days, too.
Question: do we do this for all religions? "Major" religions"? All religions that complain? All religions with over 25,000 people in Washington State? Anybody got a list of the new non-business days this entails? Or, are we all just thinking about getting our own religious holidays to be non business days and the hell with other religions'?
Or this: the hell with all religions that's your oprivate business -- and this means we have public business on Christmas and every Sunday too?
Some information: since 2004, caucuses and conventions have been held on Saturday, which is the Sabbath (day of rest) EVERY WEEK for Jews.
Yes, Passover starts at sundown on the 19th, but to presume that there's no conflict demonstrates a lack of understanding for our tradition (see Sabbath, above) and preparations for Passover (clearing every speck of leavened bread and proscribed foods out of the house) and the Seder (matzoh balls take a long time to cook).
You can pick up a full tilt Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner at your neighborhood grocery; a Seder not so much.
This is a slap in the face to the Jewish population of Washington, many of whom are activist Democrats.
This comment thread has developed a decidedly anti-semitic tone.
It really doesn't surprise me that so many jew haters populate SLOG or Seattle in general.
Never forget
@7 - look, I didn't create the two-party system, I'm just telling you why.
Now, as to why I'm saying it's whining ... because you didn't raise a fuss last year when you might have actually had a chance to get it changed. You all ignored what was happening and didn't do anything when it mattered.
It's like wondering why the Stormtroopers are at the door when you ignored their creation, funding, and training .... kapiche?
Actually, Will, the problem has been raised numerous times before by active folks in the Party. Funny how we never schedule these things on Sundays, isn't it?
That said, I'm hardly surprised. This keeps happening over and over and over in this town. And what's most disturbing to me is that I usually find the folks who planned some event on a date that conflicts with a Jewish holiday are Jews!
The thing that makes this particularly insulting, though, that people aren't getting is that Passover is one of the majorly-celebrated holidays even among Jews who aren't particularly observant otherwise. While Shabbat probably isn't celebrated among the more secular Jews, Passover is. It's once a year and something that should probably be taken into account for an event that might have a lot (relatively) of Jews wanting to attend. It's an easily-preventable stupid thing to do.
Ehhh....if enough people protest, it'll get changed.
Next year.
OK, but here's the deal. A party caucus and convention requires a huge investment of time. If it's scheduled on a weekday, the number of people who will be able to show up will be very low, because people work until 5, then have to commute home, and then usually want to eat dinner. So that leaves Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. Very few believers in Christianity or Judaism completely observe the Sabbath; the usual concern is to avoid scheduling during the typical time of religious services. So early afternoon is the best time, on either Saturday or Sunday. Friday nights might also work, except for Muslims.
Considering all of this, and Saturday afternoon is the least problematic time to schedule political conventions and caucuses. On the other hand, Passover is once a year and should be respected as much as Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Hey Will in Seattle @ 17
I often agree with you, but chew on this: insider Democrats may have known the scheduling thingy and conflicts with Passover, BUT TO MOST MERE MORTALS, who are just tuning into the caucus cycle, THIS IS NEWS.
The Jewish calendar is much older than the secular calendar and is based on the lunar cycle, so holidays don't correspond to the same date in the calendar we use in our everyday lives. Most of us know that Passover usually falls sometime in April. For more specificity, we check the calendar.
That's what this Jew did when I realized that the county convention was scheduled for Passover. I don't care how long ago it was "scheduled," it's was a bad choice then, and (based on 400+ signatures on the petition) a bad choice now.
The State Party would do well to respond and accommodate a change, instead of making those of us who don't keep track of the Jewish holidays a year in advance feel like we're somehow to blame for our negligence.
@23: pretty much this is what I'd started writing umpteen times today, when variously interrupted by what my overlords like to call "my work."
It's not like we forgot that Dec 25 is Christmas. Nor did we forget that 1 Nisan is erev Pesach. It's just that many of us have both Jewish calendars and the modern sort, and our datebooks tend to run on the modern sort, and most of us have to check, regularly, to see how our Jewish holidays coincide with the modern dating systems. It changes every year, and sometimes quite significantly. It is not a simple equation. I don't hold the lunar calendar at the front of my thoughts most days. Most days, I run on the modern calendar. In a sense, that's what makes my observance of the Jewish one all the more meaningful.
It was a mistake. Now it's been caught. The State Party should be strongly urged to correct the wrong, now that they have recognized it. This isn't even like scheduling something for Christmas or Thanksgiving.
In many ways Passover is *the* holiday that stands for the creation of modern Judaism: religiously, sure, but also culturally. We don't really have any holidays that predate that of Passover. Passover is when, mytho-historically, "we" moved from the captivity of not being able to observe our faith and culture to the freedom (as it were) to do so.
Passover occurs in Exodus, the second book of the Torah. The only other holiday that occurs this early in our religiomythohistory is that of Shabbat, our highest holiday of all (also a day chosen for the conventions, but what freaking ever). Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, Shavuot, Sukkotthese are all predicated upon Passover. It's the holiday that says "Oy, guys: you're Jewish!"
The other holidays tell Jews how to be good Jews. This is the holiday that made Jews.
It's not just a "family meal." It's not the same as Thanksgiving. It's not the same as Christmas (unless I am wrong, it is Easter that is viewed as the holiday that put the Christ in Christmas: it is the Christian view of resurrection that seals the deal for them, right? If it weren't for the resurrection, there would be no Christmas).
As others have noted, finally, Passover is not something you can scoop together at the last minutebut the preparations absolutely require, either for the very observant or the very dilatorya very great deal of last minute preparation.
The idea that you could go to the conventions for a few hours through mid day and then come home and pull off a 7 course seder for 20 is ludicrous.
That night is not like all other nights. It's not.
Just ask the little kid.

Comments about 'Letters: Distracted driving'
- Oldest first

Thank you, Kaye, for this important message that cannot be stated too many
times. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.
As you note in the letter, it is not just texting or talking on the phone that distracts drivers. Driving is a privilage granted to those who are supposed to be responsible. And when you are in control of this mass of steel you should be focused on one thing - driving. I suppose law enforcement could be more diligent in their efforts to stop this unsafe practice of driving while distracted but what will have more a greater impact is if each of us takes responsibility to drive safely ourselves and then encourage those we are riding with to do the same. Stories like the one Kaye describes are too common place in our society today. Just a moment of taking our focus away from the task of driving can lead to tragedy for many - the victims and the perpetrators. As Seargent Esterhouse used to say, "Let's be careful out there."

One of my close friends lost her 17 old daughter to a texting driver a few years back and the senselessness of this has been heart breaking to watch. Still I'm perplexed as to how we stop this. I've come to the conclusion that an almost draconian enforcement campaign is the only thing that will get peoples attention. I live in a very well off neighborhood and for all practical purposes except this one my neighbors are good people, but the second they get in their car they immediately become almost lawless. They can't pull out of their drive way without picking up their phone. Traffic laws are not even suggestions. I just two minutes ago stood at my kitchen window and watched four cars just blow through a four way neighborhood stop, with children on the corner waiting for a school bus. Heaven help you if your foolish enough to start through an intersection when the light turns green, because that's where you'll be..dead.

I had two close calls yesterday while driving in Ogden.
But in Utah, our legislators lack the courage to stand up and do what's needed. We need traffic laws with penalties that have real TEETH in them.
Visiting in Wisconsin and Phoenix, I was struck by how polite other drivers were. Then I discovered that Wisconsin's traffic fines start with numbers that blow a Utah driver's mind. And they are enforced! In Phoenix, speed meters with cameras line the streets and virtually every intersection has a red light camera. Fines are stiff. But for the citation to be issued, the driver's face must be clearly recognizable in the photo.
One Arizona legislator who has long opposed those laws was nailed running three red lights in a row one day. Could that be why Utah's legislators are reluctant to pass tough laws -- they might have to change their own driving habits?

Government could remove the cause of vehicle deaths due to cell phones. But it
would require that we give up the freedom to talk and text when in a moving
vehicle. The phone company can control the operation of cell phones but will
only do so if government commands it to do so.
People can make the government do so by electing the government concerned with the welfare of people rather than the welfare of business.

In Utah, drunk driving is just a theocratic extention of the Word of Wisdom.
Since, Distracted Driving is not defined in the Word of Wisdom - it's not a sin.
And to many here - If it's not a sin, it's perfectly legal.
Perhaps if the Prophet was to say something over the pulpit about it, or have a letter read in Sacrament Meeting...

Open Minded Mormon,
Did the WofW influence DUI laws in the other 49 states or are you only on a rant? Cell phone distraction is a secular issue, a serious one at that, and snide comments about religion only trivializes it.

Always walk or jog facing traffic. Then you can observe traffic in front of you, and are able to move out of the way if you see an erratic driver who is impaired via drugs, alcohol, distraction, etc. When you are walking on the left side with traffic flow, you don't have a clue what is going on behind you.

Sorry for the loss... but what you, Kaye, and others should do if you want to get out and exercise is to go someplace where 'several-ton' vehicle traffic is not. Many people jog on the roadside which is a very dangerous practice. Even the sidewalks can sometimes can be a dangerous place to get that daily exercise in. So, be smart and careful, joggers. Tragedies like this ca be avoided with a little common sense.

"Always walk or jog facing traffic."
No, no. don't walk or jog on the road or even roadside at all. Roads are for vehicles... sometimes they're big, heavy, and dangerous. Sometimes the driver is all over the road... And if it's getting dusk, joggers are hard to make out. Especially if they are not wearing bright, reflective clothing. I know, I know... they say jogging is 'road work.' But, as wrz recommends, find another place to exercise. The l(w)ife (or husband) you save may be your own.

Excellent but tragic letter. I often drive behind cars that are wandering all
over the street or driving way under the speed limit and holding up traffic.
When I finally get past them, it is inevitable that they are chatting away,
oblivious to what's going on around them.
I do not use a cell phone much (because I sit at a desk all day), but one day returning to work from picking up some items for the office, I called ahead to see if someone could meet me in the parking lot to fetch the items. Mine was the only car on that stretch of the road and there were no pedestrians, so I felt safe calling. But I was impressed at how easily I wandered out of my lane just dialing those 10 digits. If you're doing this on a busy street, you're nuts and at some point will probably have some serious regrets to live with.

Seems like conservatives don't want laws enforced until after an office is
committed and if laws are not enforced or are unenforceable still don't
want any new laws. The problem with not enforcing the law until after the deed
is done, is that the victims might be dead beyond repair. And the guilty might
be dead also. I guess the police could make the fine payable form the estate of
the deceased.
Another way might be to have a dash cam pointed at the driver and operating while the vehicle is in operation. A tape video of the driver would be proof of distraction plus the speed and other pertinent information could be recorded. Periodically the tape would be submitted to the authorities for review to see if any laws were broken. A better idea would be not to use a tape, but transmit the info to the authorities where they could watch it is real time. Parents could also watch.

@Ultra Bob:
"Seems like conservatives don't want laws enforced until after an office (sic) is committed..."
How does one commit an 'office?'
"The problem with not enforcing the law until after the deed is done..."
I think you're onto something. I see cops sitting beside the road while vehicles whiz by way above the posted legal speed limit. Most deaths on the freeways/highways are caused by speeding, not distraction from cell phone usage. Why aren't the cops enforcing the speed limit laws?
"Another way might be to have a dash cam pointed at the driver and operating while the vehicle is in operation."
Another good idea... but alas, something like that is already available. It's called 'radar.' And it's used (supposedly) to catch speeders. But, again, you seldom see it being used. The cops could make a mint for the state if they would only pull speeders over and ticket them... and save alotta lives to boot.

To "Ultra Bob" isn't that how we usually enforce laws? Since we
are not living in a world where we can see the future we can't punish
people until a law is broken.
Think of it this way. Do you punish your kids before or after they break a rule at your house?
How about this for a philosophical thought: If you nobody breaks a law, does it need to be enforced?
As for your solution, I have an easier one. Don't pay for texting on your teen's phone.

Driving is the No. 1 killer of teens in this country, accounting for about 25
percent of teen deaths each year. About 3,000 to 5,000 teens die annually in car
wrecks, enough to fill the halls of a large high school. Or two.
Recently, the Governor's Highway Safety Association release preliminary figures for 2012 that show a troubling trend: After 10 years of declining, teen driving deaths are on the rise.
Although teen crashes seem random and unpredictable, they actually often follow a predictable pattern: It's likely a group of teens heading nowhere in particular, probably late at night, and going fast. Often, they're not wearing seatbelts.
Researchers have identified the dangerous habits of young drivers, who can't ever be considered safe behind the wheel because they are simply too novice. There's a common thread for many fatal crashes: More than one passenger in the car, especially if those passengers are male.

The thing that deters a person breaking the rules the first time is the THREAT of punishment. Punishment itself is to confirm that threat so that the person doesn't do it again.
I have a rule that children may not play with fire. Because of the bad consequences I cannot allow the children to break the rule before enforcing it. I do my level best to keep fire starters out of reach of children.
About your suggestion, I no body breaks the law, you don't need the law in the first place. It's sort of like a rule that the children cannot fly unaided higher than 100 feet.
For the most part civilization expects voluntary compliance of its rules, but the threat is there for the actions that have harmful effects.

To "Ultra Bob" actually it sounds like you have another rule that you
enforce. You have a rule that your kids cannot touch the fire starters. That is
the rule you are enforcing.
Actually, you are wrong about the need for laws. Just because everybody obeys them does not mean they are not needed.

Lynch, Wilson lead Seattle past Vikings 30-20
Updated: November 5, 2012, 5:04 AM ETAssociated Press
SEATTLE -- Minnesota defensive end Jared Allen felt embarrassed. Not just for letting Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson control most of the second half in leading Seattle to victory, but for wasting one of the best games in Adrian Peterson's career.
"Adrian is a beast. Adrian was amazing today," Allen said. "He should get tomorrow off and we should all go to work. It is just embarrassing, two weeks in a row and it is absolutely embarrassing. I apologize to our fans; we have to get this ...

OfficeMax Opens New Business Solutions Center In Chicago
Monday July 8th, 2013 - 11:27AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
With a lease signed, OfficeMax Inc. plans to open Chicago's first OfficeMax Business Solutions Center in the city's Streeterville community later this summer. The formerly unoccupied street-level storefront at 550 St. Clair Street will house 3,900 square feet of retail space and feature tailored business services, solutions and products delivered by specially trained associates.
OfficeMax noted that it developed the Business Solutions Center concept to help local entrepreneurs grow their businesses. In early April, OfficeMax announced it had opened the first OfficeMax Business Solutions Center in 5,000 square feet of space that provided services including furniture and space planning, packaging and FedEx shipping, and document shredding. The new store featured technology products for small business, including convertible laptops, smart phones and accessories, business-quality printers and shredders. It also incorporated an integrated service counter, Internet services, computer services, free Wi-Fi and temporary meeting space.
Similarly, according to OfficeMax, the new Streeterville Business Solutions Center includes enhanced technology support and an array of marketing, document and shipping services.
"We're delighted to finalize these plans for bringing our highly innovative store of the future concept to our hometown of Chicago, to partner with local businesses and help them grow," said Ravi Saligram OfficeMax, president and CEO. "Through this differentiated, multi-channel model, a specialized Business Solutions Adviser will reside in-store, working alongside business customers to help them take their enterprises to the next level with robust services and solutions tailored to meet their individual business needs."
Michael Lewis, OfficeMax executive vp and president of retail, added, "Through this relationship-based retail center, we want local businesses in our community to know that they don't have to go it alone. Every step of the process— from formalizing your business to setting up your website and marketing— will be available through the OfficeMax Business Solutions Center."

The User's Guide must be reviewed prior to use of the neurostimulation system for detailed disclosure.
St. Jude Medical neurostimulation systems are indicated for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as aids in the management of chronic intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs including unilateral or bilateral pain associated with any of the following: failed back surgery syndrome, and intractable low back and leg pain.
If you are unable to operate the system or fail to receive effective pain relief during trial stimulation you should not be implanted with an SCS system.
You may be implanted with the parts that make up a Magnetic Resonance (MR) Conditional system, which allows you to receive a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan if all the requirements for the implanted parts and for scanning are met. Contact your physician before receiving an MRI scan to find out if you can undergo the procedure and to learn more about any risks. Additionally, before receiving an MRI scan, inform the healthcare professional that you are implanted with a neurostimulation system. If you do not have an MR Conditional system, you cannot receive an MRI.
Do not bring your programmer into the scanner magnet room. It can be affected by the MRI magnet, may present a projectile hazard, and is considered MR Unsafe.
This section lists the potential hazards associated with spinal cord stimulation that you must be aware of to avoid serious outcomes that may cause injury or death.
Diathermy Therapy. You cannot have any short-wave diathermy, microwave diathermy, or therapeutic ultrasound diathermy (all now referred to as diathermy) on your body if you have any part of a neurostimulation system implanted. Energy from diathermy can be transferred through the implanted system and can cause tissue damage at the location of the implanted electrodes, resulting in severe injury or death.
Diathermy is further prohibited because it may also damage the neurostimulation system components. This damage could result in loss of therapy, requiring additional surgery for system implantation and replacement. Injury or damage can occur during diathermy treatment whether the neurostimulation system is turned on or off. You are advised to inform your healthcare professional that you cannot be exposed to diathermy treatment.
Operation of machines, equipment, and vehicles. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery or power tools with the stimulator turned on. Postural changes or abrupt movements could cause overstimulation (jolting sensation) that might cause you to lose control of your vehicle or equipment.
Lead movement. Avoid bending, twisting, stretching, or lifting objects over five pounds for six to eight weeks postimplantation. Extension of the upper torso or neck may cause lead movement and alter the stimulation field (especially with leads in the cervical area), resulting in overstimulation or ineffective stimulation.
Explosive or flammable gases. Do not use the patient programmer in an environment where explosive or flammable gases are present.
Pediatric use. Safety and effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation has not been established for pediatric use.
Pregnancy and nursing. Safety and effectiveness of neurostimulation for use during pregnancy and nursing have not been established.
Cardioverter defibrillators. Neurostimulation systems may adversely affect the programming of implanted cardioverter defibrillators.
Device modification. This equipment is not serviceable by the customer. To prevent injury or damage to the system, do not modify the equipment. If needed, return the equipment to St. Jude Medical for service.
This section lists the actions you should be aware of and avoid to prevent situations that may cause uncomfortable sensations or damage to your neurostimulation system.
Keep the programmer dry. Your programmer is not waterproof. Keep it dry to avoid damage. Do not use the programmer when engaging in activities that might cause it to get wet, such as swimming or bathing.
Handle the programmer with care. The programmer is a sensitive electronic device that can be damaged by rough handling, such as dropping it on the ground.
Battery Care. Batteries can explode, leak, or melt if disassembled, shorted (when battery connections contact metal), or exposed to high temperature or fire.
Disconnecting the wand. Do not pull directly on the cord to disconnect the wand from the programmer. Doing so can damage the cord and make the wand inoperable. To disconnect the wand, grasp the connector at the
contoured finger grips and gently pull downward.
Medical tests and procedures. Before undergoing medical tests or procedures, contact your physician to determine if the procedure will cause you injury or damage your neurostimulation system. Specifically, you should be aware that medical devices such as electrohydraulic lithotriptors, therapeutic X rays, cobalt machines, and linear accelerators may cause damage to the electronic circuitry of an implanted neurostimulation system.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI). Certain commercial electrical equipment (for example, arc welders, induction furnaces, resistance welders), communication equipment (for example, microwave programmers, linear power amplifiers, high-power amateur transmitters), and high-voltage power lines may generate sufficient EMI to interfere with neurostimulation system operation if approached too closely. Use caution when approaching such devices, and turn your IPG off if you feel any unusual sensations. Do not turn the IPG on again until you are away from the area of EMI.
Postural changes. Changes in posture or abrupt movements can change the level of stimulation and potentially cause unpleasant sensations. Turn your IPG off or lower the amplitude before stretching, lifting your arms over your head, or exercising. If unpleasant sensations occur, turn off the IPG.
Theft detectors and metal screening devices. Certain types of antitheft devices, such as those used at entrances/exits of department stores, libraries, and other public establishments, and/or airport security screening devices may affect stimulation. It is possible that patients who are implanted with nonadjacent multiple leads and/or patients who are sensitive to low stimulation thresholds may experience a momentary increase in their perceived stimulation, which has been described by some patients as uncomfortable or jolting. Use caution when approaching such a device and request assistance to bypass the device. If you must proceed through the device, turn off the stimulator and proceed with caution, ensuring to move through the device quickly.
Control of your programmer. Keep your programmer out of the hands of children in order to avoid potential damage or unauthorized change in stimulation parameters.
Physician instructions. Always follow the programs and therapy instructions established for you by your physician. If you do not, the therapy may be less effective in providing pain relief.
Unauthorized programming changes. Do not make unauthorized changes to physician-established stimulation parameters. If you find yourself in an unfamiliar screen display, press the Previous Screen key.
Device components. The use of non-St. Jude Medical components with this system may result in damage to the system and increased risk of injury.
Magnet usage. The magnet provided with the system is a high-powered magnet intended for use solely with the system. Keep it away from watches, credit cards, computer disks, and other magnetically sensitive items to avoid damaging them. Always place the keeper bar on the magnet when not in use.
Mobile phones. The effect of mobile phones on implantable neurostimulation systems is unknown; patients should avoid placing mobile phones directly over the device.
High-output ultrasonics and lithotripsy. The use of high-output devices, such as an electrohydraulic lithotriptor, may cause damage to the electronic circuitry of an implanted IPG. If lithotripsy must be used, do not focus the energy near the IPG.
Ultrasonic scanning equipment. The use of ultrasonic scanning equipment may cause mechanical damage to an implanted neurostimulation system if used directly over the implanted device.
External defibrillators. The safety of discharge of an external defibrillator on patients with implanted neurostimulation systems has not been established.
Therapeutic radiation. Therapeutic radiation may damage the electronic circuitry of an implanted neurostimulation system, although no testing has been done and no definite information on radiation effects is available. Sources of therapeutic radiation include therapeutic X rays, cobalt machines, and linear accelerators. If radiation therapy is required, the area over the implanted IPG should be shielded with lead.
In addition to those risks commonly associated with surgery, the following risks are associated with implanting or using this neurostimulation system:
Caution: U.S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Listed: prior to 2010
From a volunteer who visited with her in July 2015: " Irina is a beautiful girl with dark hair and big dark eyes. She has a cleft palate. She is a precious and happy little girl. She loves personal attention. She is craving attention and physical touch. If it was up to her she'd be held and hugged all day. She can react really shy to people who talk to her and especially when yelled at, she will become really introvert. She is a really sweet girl. Irina is a physically quite healthy girl. She is well nourished, she can walk, run, swing, etc. Her physical development is good, compared with the other children in the same facility. She seems to have a strong body. She knows how to use a swing properly and can swing by herself. She enjoys it a lot. She can play accurate with toys, like dolls, or pretend play with kitchen tools. She knows how to walk stairs. She can dress and undress herself. She can drink from a cup and eat by herself. She is potty trained and will tell if she has to use the bathroom. She doesn't talk, most likely because of her cleft palate. She doesn't make noises, but her eyes express a lot about how she feels. And her smile will tell you when she enjoys something. She understands what is being said to her and she can follow orders. When Irina is in the group, she'll try to stay away from the others. She prefers to play by herself, but she is also capable of interacting with other children or adults. She prefers to play with children who are smaller or younger than her, probably because they are no threat to her. Last year I saw how she was being bullied by other (bigger) children. She tries to flee from bullies (and from yelling), but there is nowhere to go. This year she is doing much better. She has grown physically, which made her less of a target for the bigger children. Maybe also because new smaller children are in the group now. Sometimes she's still the target of bullying and harming behaviour, but at other moments she will show these behaviours herself. She can be a bully to the smaller children herself. I think this is her way of showing that she is stronger now, but this is no good development. The longer children are in this facility, the more harming behaviour they show. Irina is still able to receive love, but time is ticking away. She needs a family. She would thrive in a family where she could be 'the baby'."
If you are unfamiliar with FAS, please spend some time researching this condition. Just as with Down syndrome, FAS and FAE have a wide variation of effects on each child, both medically, physically, and cognitively. This is typically dependent on how long during the pregnancy the mother consumed alcohol, and of course, how much. There is no way to know this ahead of time.
Irina has been transferred to the older child internat now. Elinor, Devora, Julia, Sullivan, Artemur, Duane, Abner and Irina may all be in the same region.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

"So glad I bought these"
By Svelte Cat from New Hampshire
I only wish I had replaced my old shades sooner. Every time I raise and lower my new Blinds Galore shades, they function easily and flawlessly. I had put up with old dirty shades that didnt lower or stay level at the top. These shades look great both for the quality of light passing through them and for the color of the fabric you see. The prices were better than what I could get at the local box store. Measuring and installing were both easy. I was nervous to the the dimensions right but they have good instructions.View this product

To Vent or Not
Vent-Free. These units have no flue, so they can be installed anywhere—even hung on a wall like a flat-screen TV. They're up to 99 percent efficient because all their heat stays in the room—as do all the pollutants. Because of concerns about air quality, indoor units are fine-tuned to burn extra clean, and their heat output is limited to 40,000 Btus. They have an oxygen-depletion sensor that automatically shuts them off if a room's oxygen level dips below 18 percent (20.9 percent is normal). Even so, vent-free units are banned in California and some U.S. cities.

The U.S. State Department passport application processing time is typically between four and six weeks, but you can speed up the process to less than three weeks by using the expedited service. If you'd like to receive your passport sooner, you may be able to do so without evidence of foreign travel, depending upon where you submit the application.
Expedited Applications
Using the State Department's expedited service will reduce processing time to between two and three weeks. At time of publication, the extra fee charged for the service was $60. Submit your application as you normally would, either in person at any passport acceptance facility or by post. If you're applying in person, ask for the expedited service. If you're sending your application by post, write the word "Expedite" clearly on the envelope and include an additional $60 with your enclosed money order or personal check.
Overnight Service
Speed up your application further by opting for overnight delivery if you're applying by post. Since you have to produce important identity documents as part of your application, the State Department recommends using a traceable delivery method for security. The U.S. Postal Service's Express Mail service delivers the documents the next day, quicker than Priority Mail. The State Department will return your new passport via Priority Mail unless you specifically request overnight delivery when you submit your application.
Regional Passport Agencies
A regional passport agency is the only place where you may have to provide proof of foreign travel to speed up your application. Not all agencies will ask for this, so you should check in advance on the State Department website. For example, you can only apply at the Dallas Passport Agency if you have booked foreign travel and will leave within the next two weeks, whereas the Seattle Passport Agency allows anyone to schedule an appointment. You'll have to pay the $60 expedite fee for applying at a passport agency. Ensure you book your passport agency appointment in advance by calling 877-487-2778, as it is not possible to apply without an appointment.
Life and Death Situations
If your family is experiencing a life and death situation in a foreign country, you may be able to get your passport within 24 hours without having to show evidence of your travel plans. You'll have to apply in person at a Regional Passport Agency, and you may be asked to provide proof of the emergency when you submit your application.

This is my absolute favorite meal to make for my family, and my husband LOVES it. I just made it up, by accident one day, trying to recreate my mom's chicken and rice casserole. I like this a lot better
I put it in a journal, because I got tired of typing it up
No photos, because we eat it too quickly.

It's somewhat strict, but not so strict that it's annoying.
They have helped me a lot.
Party Scene:
I don't have much experience with the parties.
The deadlines are subject to their interpretation of deadlines, so you need to keep a constant eye on the dates.
Campus Food:
Every experience I have had has always been good, not much to complain about.
Campus Housing:
As far as I know for the Engineering housing, it's not too bad nor too great. I've heard for other majors it's a lot better.
Campus Food:
Many of the food options are fast-food, and I've never ate at the dining hall.
Off-Campus Housing:
Prices are substantially lower than dorm costs causing many people to move off campus as soon as they can. They are just as conveniently located as the dorms are and offer many chances to make new friends and enjoy the ollege experience.
Off-Campus Dining:
Tempe has endless restaurants all of walking distance. You can find almost anything you can think of within a few miles. Amazing location.
ASU has a very clear dry campus policy so anything involving alcohol consumption or drug use is not tolerated, especially within the dorms. Attendance of classes is usually optional until you get that one teacher that requires it.
The application process went very smoothly and ASU is there to help get you through any obstacles you may encounter.
Party Scene:
The party scene is very fun however does not portray a positive image on Arizona State University academics and students. Each student has the opportunity to party or to choose not to. The amount of times per week you go out will not determine friends or anything else in the social world at ASU.
Campus Food:
The best place to eat is Barrett Dining Hall. Most of the food is well prepared and tasty however sometimes lacks variety and appeal. The first year on campus meal plans are not the best bang for your buck as they are very costly and wasteful.
Campus Housing:
Living on campus mainly provides a great way to meet people in the first few years of college. The dining hall food in Barrett is fantastic and there are many amenities ranging from ping pong and air hockey to free laundry. The social atmosphere at Arizona State University is great and there are always activities going on to engage in. The housing process is difficult and is not always the easiest thing to navigate through however ASU provides great service to deal with the issues.
Off-Campus Housing:
They are a lot of options for off-Campus housing. So if you cannot afford some places there are always other places that you can look into that is still fairly close to the campus
Off-Campus Dining:
The places by campus are okay, There are a few places at mill ave but that's about it.
It's great, Since they enforce laws but also hate it at the same time since they are like nazi's when it comes to parking.
The financial Aid office is really helpful. They answer all my questions about anything I would want to know
Party Scene:
Parties are great here in ASU especially Greek Parties
Campus Food:
Barrett and Devil's Dinner are great places to eat but the other dining halls especially Pitch Forks are pretty bad. Food taste like plastic.
Any time I have needed an answer I received one within a short amount of time.
Campus Food:
There is an nice variety.
Campus Food:
You get what you pay for, when you want junk food it's available and when you want to be healthy it's also available.
Campus Housing:
The dorms are awesome, they have specialized dorms for engineering students such as myself. Amenities are great, ASU supplies a lot of resources for their students. Have wonderful public transportation.
Campus Food:
Pretty tasty. I don't like how the options are limited though (even at chains).
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!

- The financial sector (NYSEARCA:IYF) is far and away the leader in U.S. sector ETF outflows year-to-date, with $4.89B exiting, according to XTF.com. Not surprising, as the sector's been one of the poorer performers even after a nice rebound in February.
- The behavior contrasts with what's happening in energy (NYSEARCA:XLE), where bottom fishers have helped those ETFs see inflows of $2.97B - more than any other tracked sector in 2015.
- Also notable for outflows are industrials (NYSEARCA:XLI) and tech (NYSEARCA:IYW) - this despite market-beating returns so far this year.
- The other sector seeing sizable inflows is health care, with a net $2.74B coming in amid the strongest returns of all the major industries.

- A Saudi Arabian man who died of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) probably caught the disease from one of his sick dromedary camels that he treated for a nasal discharge a month earlier. Samples taken from the man and camel found a genetically identical virus. This is the first conclusive evidence that camels may be the intermediate hosts of the bug. The exact reservoir the maintains the virus in its ecologic niche has yet to be identified, however.
- The Saudi man fell ill about seven days after treating the camel with a topical medicine. He and three friends visited the camels daily but his friends, who had no direct contact with the animal, remained free of the virus.

- Some health insurers intend to join more state Obamacare exchanges next year, a development that could lead to more moderate price increases, or even prices falls, as competition increases.
- In Washington state, for example, four insurers plan to sell coverage for the first time in 2015, while in Indiana, the number of providers could double to eight.
- Of the insurers, UnitedHealth Group (UNH) is set to offer new plans in the states mentioned, adding to five exchanges that it already operates on.
- The providers could be hoping to benefit from "second-mover" advantage whereby they will look to sign up the increased number of younger and healthier people who are forecast to purchase coverage next year as the penalty for not doing so increases. Those who are in worse health and bought coverage last year are expected to remain with their existing plans.
- Meanwhile, the Center for American Progress (CAP) think tank, which is close to the White House, has called for President Obama to appoint a CEO with private-sector experience to oversee Obamacare's federal and state online health insurance exchanges. The idea is that the exchanges would run as e-commerce sites. The CEO would also oversee insurers and market regulations, although not Medicare or Medicaid. (CAP report)

- At last night's GeekWire Awards ceremony in Seattle, Leafly won App of the Year. The mobile app, described by some as the "Yelp of cannabis" helps pot consumers stay informed about cannabis strains, products and the best places to purchase them. It also connects patients to doctors who can assist them through the medical authorization process. It contains over 100K user-generated reviews of more than 800 cannabis strains as well as thousands of dispensaries and doctor locations around the world. GeekWire praised its functionality and clean professional appearance.
- Leafly founder Cy Scott says, "Our team is truly honored to receive this award. When we released the app, our goal was to offer a simple way for medical and recreational cannabis consumers to get robust information at their fingertips. This award is a win for all who support the cannabis movement."

- China intends to end price limits on low-cost drugs after the controls caused quality problems and shortages.
- China's economic planning body, the National Development & Reform Commission, will lift price caps on 280 drugs provided by Western companies and 250 Chinese patent medicines.
- Sanofi (SNY) and Pfizer (PFE) said it's too early to ascertain the impact of the new policy. Other companies that could be affected include GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).

- In response to dwindling revenues from patent expirations, drug companies are aggressively raising prices on their branded offerings. According to the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, $20B of the pharmaceutical industry's 2013 sales growth was due to price increases. This perfectly offset the $19.3B in revenue declines.
- Since 2007, the CPI has risen 12% while some drug prices have inflated as much as 400%.
- Therapies that cost $300K or more are becoming more common in light of the incentives afforded by the Orphan Drug Act.
- Generics comprise 86% of all prescriptions filled but American spent $263B for medicines in 2012, up 11% from 2007's $236B.
- Unsurprisingly, industry representatives insist that the proper focus should be on outcomes instead of prices. They also cite the ever-rising cost of R&D.

- Much of the high tech equipment hospitals use can be easily hacked and could pose a significant danger to patients according to the head of information security at Essentia Health.
- Imaging equipment, insulin pumps, defibrillators and refrigerators that store blood and drugs are examples of networked gear that have remote access control features.
- The devices' software is plagued by common security holes like weak passwords, lack of authentication to access, easy-to-determine default and hard-coded passwords and embedded web servers and administrative interfaces that make it easy to identify and manipulate devices once found on the network.
- Hospital are apparently just waking up to the potential risks.
- Last spring, the FDA and DHS issued a notice to the health care industry about problems with hard-coded passwords after researchers found issues in ~300 devices.

- The FDA proposes an "Expedited Access PMA" (EAP) process for medical devices that treat or diagnose patients with serious conditions whose medical needs are unmet by current technology. The program features earlier and more interactive participation by agency staff to collaboratively develop a plan for the collection of the scientific and clinical data to support approval. The EAP aims to reduce certain devices' development times in addition to the expected shortened premarket review.
- Eligible devices must fit the following profile: 1) be intended to treat or diagnose a life-threatening or irreversibly-debilitating disease or condition and 2) represent one of the following: no approved alternative treatment/diagnostic exists or it represents a breakthrough technology that provides a clinically meaningful advantage over existing technology or offers a significant clinically meaningful advantage over currently-available alternatives or the device's availability is in the patient's best interest.
- The proposed EAP builds on the Expedited Access Program for pharmaceuticals that the FDA launched in 2011.

- Eight million people have enrolled for health insurance under Obamacare, President Obama said yesterday, easily surpassing earlier projections by the Congressional Budget Office for 6-7M signups by the end of March.
- The high number of enrollments was achieved despite the technical problems that the online exchanges suffered, particularly when the Affordable Care Act was launched last year.
- Around 35% of those who purchased coverage were people under 35, who are thought to be less likely need to treatment and so can help balance the cost of claims for those who need care.
- However, Obama didn't provide details about the number of enrollees who already had insurance before Obamacare was introduced.

- Texas researchers predict that one in twenty or ~12M people in outpatient settings in the U.S. are misdiagnosed by doctors each year. About half could potentially harm patients.
- They analyzed 3,000 patient records and found a misdiagnosis rate of 5%. Extrapolating the rate to the 80% of U.S. adults who receive outpatient medical care yields 12M people.
- Faulty medical records and other potential flaws in the data could mean the real misdiagnosis rate is higher.
- The study's lead author, Dr. Hardeep Singh of Baylor College of Medicine, hopes his team's findings give quality-of-care stakeholders a clearer sense of the problem.

> What the parent process is doesn't matter though as long as sshd is in > the cmdline for whatever it is.Agreed. The script assumes there probably aren't going to be many things that spawn a shell that include "sshd" in the cmdline.

Remember, the command you run has to start a shell as a child process for this to take effect, and even then, it would only affect the child. Running "ls sshd" is not going to have any effect on your current shell.
It seems you're using a Kerberized telnet configuration, so I can't test that exactly, but with my own simple telnet test, the parent process for my shell after telnet'ing was "login --username". Your telnet client does not spawn the shell, so the cmdline for telnet client is irrelevant. Unless your username contains "sshd", "sshd" shouldn't appear in the remote shell's parent process cmdline when telnet'ing. Same goes for rsh.
Now if you ran "xterm -lf sshd", that would incorrectly set TMOUT. -- /* wes hardin */ inode0 wrote:
