Montville - In total, Tashi Lhatso has had only seven years of formal schooling. That was enough, however, to prepare her for college: The 15-year-old is graduating from Montville High School and will being studying chemistry at the University of Connecticut in the fall.
"When I saw her birth date, I was really surprised," said Katherine Dykes, an English language tutor at the school. At first, she thought it must be a mistake. Lhatso, she said, "always had held her own, was very mature, very self-directed."
Lhatso credits that maturity to her complicated childhood in Tibet and India, which forced her to become independent at an early age.
Her father, a political activist, received death threats and was charged with breaking Chinese law because he distributed "Free Tibet" pamphlets and showed a video of the Dalai Lama's teachings. He fled to India, and Lhatso's family was unable to contact him because they believed it would put him in danger.
After about a year, Lhatso's mother sent her alone to India to search for her father and attend school. She was just 9 years old. She was smuggled across Tibet in a commercial truck, crouching behind large boxes at Chinese checkpoints.
"The memory of being curled in a ball, alone and afraid to breathe, behind those big boxes with words scribbled on them, is one of the few images that I retain of that scary and strange time," she wrote in her college admissions essay.
To reach the border of Nepal and India, she was carried on a stranger's back in a basket usually used to carry cow dung.
Once in India, she attended a boarding school for Tibetan refugees in Dharamsala. She unsuccessfully looked for her father in her free time and eventually learned from a distant relative that her father had moved to the United States.
After three years, she followed him to the United States. Instead of moving to Maryland with her father, however, Lhatso went to live with Ake Ake and Thontup Dolma, her uncle and college-educated aunt who could help her with school. Her mother and younger brother have recently moved to the United States as well, and her family visits her in Connecticut regularly.
By now, Lhatso is in many ways "a typical American teenager who enjoys spending time with her friends and loves to make people laugh," said Dykes. She watches movies and TV shows to help improve her English, including one of her favorites, "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."
The highlight of her time in the United States so far came when she was chosen, in October, to participate in the welcoming ceremony when the Dalai Lama visited Western Connecticut State University. Lhatso offered the leader a traditional barley drink.
"I was even afraid to raise my head, I was holding (the cup) and shaking so hard," Lhatso said. "It makes me feel very proud and very blessed, because I think only a few people get this kind of opportunity to see him that close."
"Being Buddhist, my religion has taught me others before self," Lhatso said. That concept led her to consider a career as a physician - though she isn't positive that she won't change her major during college.
Dykes said she is impressed by Lhatso's compassion for others and expects to see her "in an international position of leadership, advocating for those who are unable to speak for themselves."

The shooting war against drugs-the part that shoots down airplanes-is a war about which most Americans know nothing. Well, now we know. On April 20, Veronica Bowers, a Baptist missionary, and her seven-month-old daughter were killed when their plane was shot down over the jungles of eastern Peru. This tragedy gives us a brief window of opportunity to examine the human costs of how the United States conducts its war on drugs.
The Peruvian Air Force pilot who did the shooting was guided to the unarmed Cessna by an American surveillance plane flown by CIA contract employees who work for a U.S.-funded system intended to interdict drugs in the Andes, especially Peru and Colombia. The killings appear to be a terrible accident brought on by carelessness, the failure to observe proper identification and verification procedures, and the inability of the American pilots to speak Spanish. But why are we shooting down unarmed civilian planes at all? More is at stake than proper procedures. Since 1992, a joint U.S.-Peruvian operation has shot down some thirty planes, and forced still others to land and be searched. Presumably no Americans have been on board-or, at least, no obviously innocent ones.
This time five innocent Americans were shot down: mother and child were killed, the pilot was seriously injured, and Bowers's husband and son watched her and the baby die. Isn't it time to do more than conduct an accident...

What kill streaks does the SAM Turret shoot down? Can it be destroyed by air strikes, chopper gunners, or other kill streaks?
It can shoot down any flying vehicle except the Stealth Bomber.
It can be destroyed by aerial vehicles, or any gun, even a single knife attack will destroy it.
Note: Uncertain about the Recon Drone.
SAM Turrets will attempt to take down any Aerial Killstreak including the Recon Drone in its sights except the stealth bomber, precision airstrike and predator missiles.

Why Animal Suffering Matters
Philosophy, Theology, and Practical Ethics
Andrew Linzey
Oxford University Press, $29.95, 206 pp.
Three years ago, in response to an article on vegetarianism that I published in this magazine ("All We Can Eat?" July 13, 2007 [1]), Andrew Linzey sent me an e-mail with the subject "Disappointment" and the valediction "Yours sorrowfully." In between, he took me to task for making "the mistake of almost all Catholic moralists" who write on this topic—namely, "of focusing almost entirely [on] the modern secular, philosophical literature for animals…without engaging...the now extensive modern theological discussions of animals." He also wished that his e-mail "might (in God's providence) stimulate [me] to look deeper and ponder further."
Linzey is an Anglican priest and a theologian at Oxford University, where he directs the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. He was among the first to open up the field that has come to be called "animal theology" (the title of what is still probably his best book). He has written or edited twenty-three books, all but a handful of which concern animals. The newest of these, Why Animal Suffering Matters, is neither his best nor his most original work, but it is still worth recommending to anyone unfamiliar with his arguments.
At his best, Linzey is an impressively creative theologian. On the one hand, his passion for animals as "fellow-creatures" leads him to be highly critical of much of the Western theological and philosophical tradition. The...

I have a website hosted in China, which must be hosted there for various reasons. I also cannot change hosting companies for various reasons. It is a website that is accessed worldwide, however it has atrocious ping rates from everywhere but China.
This is just an idea, so this may be impossible and/or not make any sense, but here it goes. A friend of mine has used proxies which helped his ping and load times from servers in Korea. Is there any way I can do this with my server? Perhaps a service which forwards my name servers to somewhere with much better global ping rates?
Any other ideas which will make pings/load times fester other than this are greatly appreciated as well. Please keep in mind when answering:
- I cannot change servers
- I do not have access to configure the server itself.

Conceptually within a Federation Trust configuration one party holds accounts of the participating users and another party serves applications to such users. The party holding the accounts is typically referred to as account domain and the ADFS server residing in this domain is referred to as Account STS (STS-A). The party serving the application is referred as resource domain and the ADFS server in this domain is called Resource STS (STS-R). This walkthrough will demonstrate how to establish a federation trust between account and resource domains, so that users from the account domain can access a claims-aware application in the resource domain.
The screenshots were taken in my lab environment where DMZ.NET domain is the account domain (users are coming from the Internet to authenticate against AD located in the DMZ). INSIDE.NET is the resource domain hosting an ASP.NET claims-aware application. Please note that DMZ.NET domain may also host applications, in effect being both account and resource domain. The idea here is that once a user authenticates against DMZ.NET STS she can access applications in both DMZ and INSIDE.NET domains by virtue of the federated trust. Of course any application participating in such trust would need to be explicitly configured with a relying party trust.
1. 2 separate AD forests (unless you plan to utilize authentication store other than AD).
2. Each forest needs to contain an ADFS STS, see this link for instructions on how to configure ADFS STS
3. In the resource domain setup an ASP.NET claims aware application and configure it with a relying trust with the STS-R in that forest. Instructions on this could be found here.
Add Relying Party Trust from Account STS to Resource STS
Perform steps below on the Account STS
Note: to the Account STS the resource STS is just another relying party which expects claims about the users in the account domain. So the steps below very closely resemble the steps required to configure trust with a claims-aware application.
For the account STS to be able to establish trust with the resource STS it will need to access the FederationMetadata.xml file generated by the resource STS. If the resource STS is accessible via network you can use the following URL format to access it https://FQDNnameOfTheServer/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml. Also since the connection to the FederationMetadata.xml is made over SSL ensure that the certificate of the resource STS is trusted by the account STS host.
Click on Next
Click on Close
Click on Add Rule
Based on this rule once a user is authenticated by the account STS, STS will query AD to determine the userPrincipalName and the group membership of the user and package this information into a SAML token as claims (Name, Role), which will be sent to the resource STS.
Add Claims Provider Trusts on the Resource STS
Perform the steps below on the resource STS
Since the resource STS will not be authenticating users but rather accepting claims about the users from the account STS we will be setting up a Claims Provider Trust.
The same principals apply here as in the case with the account STS. Make sure that the SSL certificate of the account STS is trusted and that you have access to the FederationMetadata.xml either over network or this file was copied locally.
Click on Next
Click on Close and then Click on Add Rule
Remember that the claims will be coming from the account STS, so at the resource STS we can either pass the claims through or filter them before they are passed to the application.
For the sake of this walkthrough I will keep things as simple as possible, but capabilities exist here to apply some validation logic to filter out unexpected values. For example for the userPrincipalName we may specify that only values with a specific email suffix will be passed through (ex. dmz.net). Certainly this would be considered a good practice to shield the application from erroneous data at the resource STS level.
Click on Add Rule to add another rule this time for the Role claim
Notice that we created a pass through rule for each claim generated by the account STS. The claims for Name and Roles were chosen arbitrarily, the same process would apply to any other claims.
Pass claims from Account STS to the web application in the resource environment
The reason for the next several steps probably requires some explanation, since it may feel at this point that we are done with establishing the federation trust, but in fact not quite. We still need to configure how claims will be passed to the application which we are making available to the account domain.
Since a resource domain may have many different applications which are utilized by the account domain it may be possible that different applications may require different claims, hence we need to explicitly define at the application level how claims are passed to it. Again because, I am trying to keep this walkthrough as simple as possible, the claims will be passed to the applications as is, but specifying the claims handling rules is nevertheless required.
Perform this steps against the relying party trust for the application which we will be exposing to the account domain. For details on how to configure a test claims-aware application please, see this link.
The first rule (UserNameAndGroups) was created to allow users in the INSIDE domain to access this application, and it is not required if only the account domain users are accessing this resource.
Test SSO from account domain to web applications
Before testing ensure the following:
1. If you would like to achieve SSO experience ensure that DNS spaces of the resource and account domains are in the Local Intranet Zones in IE.
2. Client can resolve DNS names of the account and resource STSes.
3. Client trusts the certificates of both account and resource STSes
When connecting to the resource application for the first time, the resource STS will perform what is known as home realm discovery of the client. Make sure the pick the domain which corresponds to your account STS, since this is where the user needs to be authenticated.
For more details on the realm discovery and the ways to customize its behavior follow this link
Validate that the claims have come from your account STS.

so I am calling my page list with the

I want to change the name of this "home" button to "blog", but am not sure how to do this within the context of the wp_page_menu arguments. I want to keep it pretty clean, so was hoping to find something that didn't involve me manually linking a first item in that unordered list. Any thoughts?

good puzzle
Wow all these puzzles are easy!
Pin it...win it. :)
Wow - This seemed like a Sunday puzzle. The attack on that knight seemed so obvious. I'm always intrigued by "what happens next," but in this case I don't see a good next move for black. I wish daily puzzle had gone further and let me do my number on the pinned knight. Is black's next move Ke8 or does he have some more threatening move like attacking my pawns with the c3 rook?In this case, the solution does seem to lead to a huge advantage for white.
ya u r right , the puzzle should continue further ,,,,
seems like black got stuck in a box of doom lol. Good puzzle. Is there a way black could avoid being pushed back???
Decent Puzzle
What! Took me 3 seconds to solve this one. Great puzzle?
1. Ra7 Rd8 2. Nxe5 Ke8 3. Nxd7 Rxd7 4. Ra8+ Ke7 5. f6+ Ke6 6. Re8+ Kf5 7. Rxd7 Rc2+ 8. Kb3 a2 9. Rd5+ Kg6 10. Rg8+ Kh5 11. g6+ Kh6 12. f7 a1=Q 13. f8=Q+ Qg7 14. Qxg7#
This is a possible continuation but someone else will find a better one I'm sure.
I don't know if it is "better," but if I were black, I don't think I would play 7...Rc2+ - I think I would try h6 or Rf3 (but it is a lost cause in any case).
As white, if black DID move 7. ... Rc2+, I would respond with 8. Kxa3 - it might actually prolong the game with repetitive check's by black rook, but it can't be a perpetual check, and then white can move on to promote his pawn (or capture the black rook if he attempts to prevent it), with no worries about a black pawn promotion.

When I downloaded the new version. I received huge error that blocked me from logging into my wordpress admin control panel... so basically, it shut me down.
I got the follow error message: "Fatal error: Class 'WP_List_Table' not found in /home2/mybluehostloginname/public_html/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/manage-images.php on line 646"
I called bluehost to help, they showed me the steps on how to deactivate plugins from within bluehost--- and I did that.
Then I deleted and downloaded the past version, which worked but undid all my previous shadowbox/lightbox next-gen gallery coding I guess... because now when a photo is clicked on in my website there's no more shadowbox/lightbox, it just goes to the photo in the basic way.
I'm not too savvy at this stuff, so it sux pretty bad when I upgrade and it messes up my website... it gives me horrible anxiety b/c I run a pretty large site and I do everything....
I have wordpress 3.0.1 btw. Too paranoid to update b/c I don't want to run into more issues, like this one.
Anyone have a clue on how to get it back, on how to use next-gen with the lighbox/shadowbox and make it so when someone clicks on a photo they get a very nice shadowbox/lightbox of the image or several images (gallery)???

Within recent years there has been an increasing interest in the problem of school health supervision. Because of the intimate contacts of children in the schools, an easy path is opened for the spread of communicable diseases. In addition, in the school the opportunity is presented for the discovery and correction of the great mass of major and minor physical defects which handicap the pupil in mental and physical growth and in development. Modern school health work has availed itself of the progress that has been made in the fields of medicine and of education, so that much has been added to the traditional program of medical inspection. Examinations are more thorough, in many instances including, in addition to the routine physical inspection, urine and blood examinations, metabolic tests, and anthropometric measurements as well as the exact measurement of deficiencies in sight and hearing.

MTVHive.com, 3/18/13
Wildly entertaining."
Boston Phoenix, 3/20/13
'No holds barred' and 'warts and all' are typical qualifiers when it comes to rock-and-roll memoirs, but rarely do they fulfill the promise. Which makes it all the more refreshing when something like Official Truth, 101 Proof comes along. Pleasantries are dispensed sparingly in this unflinching, and often biting, but also affectionate portrait."
Dallas Observer, 3/18/13
Rex takes readers into the familiar world of the Rock Star, where rivers of whiskey flow like cash pouring into the band members' bank accounts Rex's memoir delivers to fans what the bassist intended: a behind the scenes look at the events that led to the downfall of one of America's greatest rock bands.

Alternative Control blog, 3/22/13
A great read about one of the best metal bands of all time."
Houston Press, 3/29/13

The story of one of the craziest party bands of all time This book was an eye opener If you've ever been into Metal music, I'd say this is required reading."
The Metal Den, 4/8/13
Hands down the most brutally frank rock memoir you will ever read in your life This is a cautionary tale (beware of the hangers on') that will make you laugh out loud and wipe away a few tears at the same time."
About.com Heavy Metal
Brown pulls no punches in the book The behind the scenes story of Pantera is fascinating There have been a lot of books written about Pantera, but Brown provides insight an outside author simply can't It's a very well-written and compelling book."
Music As Therapy blog, 4/14/13
Offers a very inside look at the band that we were never afforded the opportunity to voyeur into back in the day Straight up, if you're a Pantera fan then read the book, you'll enjoy it A satisfying read. As a fan of Pantera I couldn't put the flippin' thing down."
Bass Guitar magazine, May 2013
Rock star autobiographies are everywhere these days, some of them great, some less so. Official Truth, 101 Proof falls easily into the former category. Brown waited years to tell his tale, but the wait has been worth it Official Truth recounts the formation and rise to prominence of Pantera, as well as the stories of Brown's later bands Down and Kill Devil Hill, with unflinching courage, offering a new perspective on the chaos within those bands."
SLUG (Salt Lake Under Ground) magazine, May 2013
Rex Brown has long since taken the voice of reason' mantle in the ever-fracturing post-Pantera camp. Though he's the group's least public member, he's the most fit to write a memoir on the experience. Brown pulls no punches in his yarn, nonchalantly discussing the spandex-clad inception, multiplatinum explosion and untimely demise of the 90s' most definitive metal band. Most compelling are his unflinching looks into the band members' individual demons, which never come off as antagonistic or gossipy, but genuine attempts at telling it like it is' As the murder of one Dimebag Darrell becomes more and more distant, no other publication has come this close to truly exploring the impact and meaning of what this band meant to the heavy metal landscape, and for that, Brown's work shouldn't go unnoticed, and is highly recommended."
PowerlineMag.com, 4/27/13
Pantera's fans will enjoy this up close and personal look at the band, especially those interested in hearing how the band's classic records came together."
Examiner.com, 4/30/13
If you are looking for dirt or something shocking, its all there as Rex didn't pull any punches and told it how it was including the bad times as well. If you are a fan of Pantera or if you just like a good biography I recommend this book because it will not disappoint."
Record Collector (UK), Issue 414
Brown recounts his life in parallel to Pantera's story, exploring his addiction to alcohol in courageous detail and pulling no punches when it comes to explaining the band's split and its tragic aftermath. He ascribes the various fallings-out to each of the personalities involved, without leaving anyone (including himself) blameless. Kudos to the guy for digging deep into a set of obviously painful memories to get this book done, and to his co-writer Mark Eglinton for focusing Brown's recollections into an eminently readable memoir."
Decibel, June 2013
Revealing Brown deftly explains why Pantera's music works This book won't interest the casual Pantera fan. But are there any casual Pantera fans?"
Metal Forces, March 2013
Official Truth, 101 Proof sugarcoats nothing."
John Shelton Ivany Top 21
Definitive This is a lucid account of the previously untold story behind one of the most influential bands in heavy metal history, written by the man best qualified to tell the truth about those incredible and often difficult years of fame and excess."
WomanAroundTown.com, 5/28/13
A book detailing the highs and lows of super-stardom."
Curled Up With A Good Book
No one was closer to the heart of the band than Brown. He was there from the beginning and relates the ups and downs with an unabashed honesty A book about one of the most original metal bands ever."
Illinois Entertainer, 7/1/13
[A] tell-all."
Soho Tribune, 6/22/13
A poignant and heartfelt account of life in a monstrous heavy metal band Read the book. It's like finally getting the quiet kid in class to open up."
GhostCultMag.com, 7/12/13
The book has an easy-going style, and doesn't seem to be ghost-written like so many other tomes of this sort...If you are a fan of Pantera or 90s metal in general, this book is essential reading."
Metal Hammer
A no-holds-barred insight into the mind of someone who became known as the drunk guy in Pantera,' which is some feat."
Hard Rockin' Homemaker, 7/29/2013
A notable and refreshing change from the vast majority of other memoirs I've read."
MetalKaoz.com, 9/7/13
I enjoyed every page of Official Truth, 101 Proof and learned a ton of stuff about this band."
HeavyMetalICU.com, 9/9/13
The pages of this book will flip fast and when you get to the end you just wish there was more As you read this book, I DARE you not to think you're sitting right across from the guy sharing each moment Rex tells the story from his side of the stage and his seat in the bus with dignity and no machismo or chest beating on how great they were This is the first autobiography I've read truly deserving of 6 out of 5 stars! Yeah it goes one higher than all other ratings."
January Magazine, Best Books of 2013," 1/3/14
Official Truth is a proper rock biography, but it's not for the faint of heart If you ever thought the world of a rock god was sexy and golden, read Official Truth and think again."
Bass Player, May 2014
[An] action-packed memoir chock full of tales about Pantera's struggle to the top and its off-the-charts debauchery."
Rex Brown's memoir is the definitive account of life inside one of rock's biggest bands, which succeeded against all odds but ultimately ended in tragedy when iconic lead guitarist Darrell Dimebag" Abbott was murdered mid-performance by a deranged fan.
This is a lucid account of the previously untold story behind one of the most influential bands in heavy metal history, written by the man best qualified to tell the truth about those incredible and often difficult years of fame and excess.

Staying At Ed's Place - Poem by May Swenson
I like being in your apartment, and not disturbing anything.
As in the woods I wouldn't want to move a tree,
or change the play of sun and shadow on the ground.
The yellow kitchen stool belongs right there
against white plaster. I haven't used your purple towel
because I like the accidental cleft of shade you left in it.
At your small six-sided table, covered with mysterious
dents in the wood like a dartboard, I drink my coffee
from your brown mug. I look into the clearing
of your high front room, where sunlight slopes through bare
window squares. Your Afghanistan hammock,
a man-sized cocoon
slung from wall to wall, your narrow desk and typewriter
are the only furniture. Each morning your light from the east
douses me where, with folded legs, I sit in your meadow,
a casual spread of brilliant carpets. Like a cat or dog
I take a roll, then, stretched out flat
in the center of color and pattern, I listen
to the remote growl of trucks over cobbles on
Bethune Street below.
When I open my eyes I discover the peaceful blank
of the ceiling. Its old paint-layered surface is moonwhite
and trackless, like the Sea—of Tranquillity.

This is my first try at drawing with my left hand (I'm right-handed). I wanna train that more often. You never know, if you'll need it, right? ;]
Oh god, that's awesome. And it's great that you can be ambidextrous if you need to be. I have this irrational fear of something happening to my right hand so I wouldn't be able to draw anymore ;_;
Same here. That's why I started practising. ;__; I don't think is is anywhere near the quality of my right hand though, and it literally took me HOURS to draw.
Wow that's really good! I also want to learn to write (and draw) with my left hand, now I'm really gonna practice xD
*jelly* :3
*jelly* :3
Wow for trying out your left hand this looks bomb. I'm naturally left handed btw. lol
Wow, I can't draw this nicely with my right hand and I'm right-handed. Amazing.
I agree with everyone - amazing for a less-dominant-hand drawing!!
not to bad for a left handed drawing
Wow, that's really good for your left hand ;D
thats amazing! I find that I can draw OK with my left hand but I do write and draw better with my right.
wow! mit der linken hand??
das würde ich nie im leben dermaßen gut hinkriegen!!!
das würde ich nie im leben dermaßen gut hinkriegen!!!
Holy shit, that's amazing!
Verlorengegangener Linkshänder was?^^ Bei mir wird das Gehirn schon überanstrengt wenn man lesen muss was ich mit links schreibe..
Your first try? That's amazing, actually.
O: I'm left hand-handed and i cant even draw that good!!!! I'm impressed!
A little rough, but much better than what I could do with my right hand (left handed) But then again, my left hand isn't too precise either I have a rather unsteady hand... OH WELL! I paint and draw anyway!
Keep up the work! If my left hand broke, I'd be completely doomed!
Keep up the work! If my left hand broke, I'd be completely doomed!
Wow!!! This is amazing!! I could never, ever draw that well with either hand!
Just to make this clear that's much better than most people can do for their first attempt. Although the neck does seem a bit like an ostrich...
Hi there. I used to be both-handed when I was younger, but now I'm a righty because I fell out of practice. But what I did when I was a kid is just what you're doing: lots and lots of practice. I set a goal for myself, I guess because I thought it would be fun, and just drew for an hour or two a day. Whenever I showered, ate, or anything like that, I'd use my left hand, just to mix things up. It didn't take too long until it was almost as good as my dominant hand in every way. Just keep practicing and try not to miss even one day; you don't have to draw necessarily, but make sure you do some other activity with your left hand. It's all about building up muscle memory. Good luck.. you're already pretty good at it from what I can see.
Your lefty is better then my righty ; A ;
Thats amazing considering you used your non-dominant hand!
I'm left-handed.... and I CAN'T DRAW LIKE THAT! *.* Beautiful looni. ^^
I'm just like Justino T.T
I can't draw or write to save my life with my left hand T.T
You're INCREDIBLY good!!
I can't draw or write to save my life with my left hand T.T

You don't need to practice, this is awesome!
Wow, this is really good!
I face the chance of loosing the ability of my right hand because of muscle deterioration, so I've been practicing drawing with my left hand too! but i'm no where near as good as you~

text: I have been dealing with some very strange lameness issues for the last 2 months and my vet and I are stumped. Started off looking lame in front, then moved to back (stifle and hip area), then it looked like there was something in the neck like a pinched nerve. Wasn't consistently off, just would take an odd step here and there. Most recently (Saturday), my horse tied up for no apparent reason. It was cold (about 28 degrees), I was on her for about 10 minutes total... worked in an unheated indoor, first 5 was just walk with a quarter sheet, then started to trot, she felt stiff. After about 2 minutes of trot, I asked for canter and I got what felt like a dead lame horse. I jumped off, and saw her left hind muscle twitching at the stifle and noticed she was dripping with sweat between her legs. I walked her back into the heated barn, so I could observe her vitals. Temp was at 100, breathing was double the normal rate (and we hadn't gotten through our normal warm up yet), gums were perfectly pink. I called emergency vet and asked her to come out; gave the mare banamine paste as the vet suspected colic even though I told her I thought it was a tie up. Mare refused to move her hind legs and was pawing with front legs. Once the vet arrived (about 30 minutes later), she confirmed it wasn't colic and did look like tie up, but was puzzled as the muscles were not hard, but mare couldn't move her hind end without becoming very unbalanced (looked like she was going to fall over). Her breathing was back to normal, as was her heart rate. Vet thinks it could be EPSM that is causing the odd lameness and most recent tie up. She didn't take blood to check muscle enzymes because of the holiday weekend and labs being closed, said the sample would degrade too much by Wednesday. She wants to give her a week off and see what happens (she has been on banamine (4 days), ace (3 doses since Saturday), and muscle relaxers (2x per day for 4 days, then once a day starting yesterday). I know I could do a muscle biopsy, but I don't really want to cut into her neck. She is already on a low sugar/low starch feed (Tribute, Kalm N EZ), so to me, this should have prevented anything related to EPSM, but maybe I am wrong? Vet said she really doesn't think it is neurological (EPM), but she said it isn't clearly EPSM either. Anyone have any ideas for me?

Reviews for Sonrise Equestrian Foundation
I have had nothing but good experiences with the people of SonRise. They are very supportive of all the volunteers and the volunteers and staff are get with their clients. SonRise provides a ray of sunshine and hope to the children and their families. I got involved and knew nothing of horses or equine therapy. However in a very short time I could see the incredible value this organization provides those in need in the community. Believe me, these women do an incredible job!
I have been a happy volunteer with SonRise since its inception 10 years ago. It is a very special program making huge differences in the lives of children with all kinds of special needs, both physical and psychological. The results are immeasurable and the pleasure as a volunteer to see this difference is priceless. The best part there is no charge for any of the programs with SonRise-children ride the horses and receive consistent mentorship for free, and other community programs benefit from SonRise as no additional cost. Almost all of the staff at SonRise are dedicated volunteers and the program is run with tremendous financial accountability.
I am a volunteer Horse Handler and Travelling Tails volunteer..I love everything about Sonrise, the ranch, the people who work there, the horses are amazing and the kids are so sweet.
Sonrise is an exceptional non-profit organization. They do so much for developmentally disabled kids. It's incredible to see the children approach a horse with such trepidation, then to see them grinning ear to ear and laughing when they start riding. I've read a letter of gratitude from an autistic young man's parents who said the boy started speaking (to humans) for the first time after joining the program. And, all kids seem to come out of their shells around the horses. I feel privileged to have witnessed a tiny baby in a hospice program reacting to a mini horse's presence. It's magical!
Their mission is to "make a positive difference for youth living with social, emotional, or physical challenges, including terminal illness. Participating children develop confidence, integrity, and responsibility through mentoring and peer relationships centered around the care and enjoyment of horses." Sonrise Equestrian Foundation is doing just that, every week, every day. I'm so proud to be associated with this organization. When I saw the smiles on the faces of some of the developmentally challenged students when they mounted the mini horses, I knew what extraordinary people had created Sonrise!
I am proud to be a volunteer for Sonrise because I know that they operate under strictly meticulous ethical values in both operations and in working with the children. I am proud of the incredible patience and kindness that they show the children with physical and mental issues and with fairness to all. Sonrise leaders are are carefully chosen. The proceeds are carefully spent. The executive director and the board members are of outstanding character.
SonRise is a wonderful place where kids who might not normally be able to have a horse experience can connect with horses on an intimate physical and emotional level. Kids learn to groom, ride and take care of horses. Seeing kids connect with such a big beautiful animal is a very moving experience. A child who may not have friends at school, has a friend in one of the SonRise horses. SonRise is a place where kids are not only learning valuable motor and social skills, but learning to love and appreciate animals as well.
Love the people, the organization and the way healing is done with horses.
Sonrise provides an incredible place for volunteers to interact with their organization, horses, and children with development or physical disabilities. They make it so easy to volunteer your time, their training is great, and they provide ample opportunities that best fit your schedule, needs, skills, and passion. An incredible nonprofit with a very generous staff who cares about their volunteers, their horses, and most importantly the kids they work to serve!
This organization is run by caring, generous, thoughtful and selfless individuals that truly care about the children, horses, and volunteers. I am fortunate to be a part of it and look forward to watching it grow even more!
I attended a fundraiser for SonRise at Charles Wilhelm's ranch four years ago, and after meeting the staff and watching the children on horseback, I knew right away that I wanted to be a part of this wonderful organization. I volunteer on Wednesdays as a ranch hand and as a sidewalker when we travel to Alma Preschool, Dublin Elementary, and George Mark Children's House where the children can meet, groom, and ride the mini horses. It's truly heartwarming to watch the children interact with the horses and to hear their teachers describe how even their non-verbal students "talk" for days after the minis visit. SonRise provides many services for special-needs children, and as a bonus, they rescue horses in need as well. I've seen firsthand just how compassionate, committed, and dedicated the SonRise families and staff are, and I'm proud to be part of this caring community. As a retired teacher, I give SonRise top marks for excellence in giving from the heart! :^)

Top Court in India Rejects Novartis Drug Patent – 'Evergreening' Ban to Cut into Big Pharma's Mega Profits
India's top court has put a stop to drug companies' stranglehold on drugs. When a new drug's patent expires, pharmaceutical companies simply change the chemical composition a bit and request a new patent for essentially the same drug. The process, called "evergreening" will no longer be recognized in India as producing a new, patentable drug – opening the doors to more affordable medicine.

This paper investigates wideband sound source localization in outdoor cases. In such cases, time difference of arrival (TDOA)-based methods are commonly used for 2-D and 3-D wideband sound source localization. These methods have lower accuracy in comparison with direction of arrival-based approaches. However, they feature fewer microphones and less computation time. High accuracy sound source localization using these methods needs highly accurate time delay measurement, and therefore, high frequency signal sampling rates. Moreover, the need to use numerical analysis methods for local calculations (solving nonlinear equations of closed-form methods) will increase computation time while the calculations may still not converge. Also, a good initial guess close to the true solution is needed to avoid local minima. In this paper, a simple, fast (real time) and accurate pure geometric phase transform-based exact location calculation approach for 3-D localization of wideband sound sources in outdoor far-field and low degree reverberation cases, using only four microphones, is proposed. Based on the proposed method, a simple arrangement of microphones is implemented. Experimental results show that the proposed method has more accuracy and less computation time simultaneously, in comparison with previous closed-form hyperbolic intersection and other TDOA-based state-of-the-art location calculation methods, overcoming their major weaknesses. Also, as the nonlinear closed-form equations are linearized, no initial guess is required. It features less than 0.2° error for angle of arrival, less than 5% error for 3-D location finding, and computation times as low as 250 ms for the localization of a typical wideband sound source such as a flying object (helicopter).

Happy belated new year!!! I've had a wacky start to the new year, hence my silence. My apologies.
A few quick observations & thoughts I've been meaning to share with the world:
The next big thing in software is WPF & WPF/e. No doubt about it. I've spent most of the past two weeks looking at innovative applications that have been created by companies in Asia who are using our new technologies. The apps have simply blown me away. I'll share some of the best of class with you over coming weeks. All I know is that if I were to leave MS anytime soon, it would very likely be to go do something with these technologies. It's the next big thing.
On the plane ride back from Narita, though, I thought through the implications from a business perspective. I believe that three classes of venture-fundable startup opportunities will emerge over the coming 24 months:
There is also an emerging opportunity for small consulting firms to bring knowledge of these new technologies in other fields...media, interactive design, advertising, etc. When corporations and advertising agencies begin to see the types of things our technologies can allow, a lot of "client" business will open up for companies who have developed an expertise in WPF & WPF/e. Not a venture-fundable opportunity perhaps, but something that will nonetheless make some people a lot of money.
It really is a new wave in application development somewhere between where the web is today and where client applications are today. It's an exciting time that is sure to unlock billions, if not trillions of dollars of new shareholder value. I really do think we're at the beginning of the next new thing.
On another note, Kevin Bier, Group Manager for Expression Media, has just launched his blog. I've worked with Kevin extensivley for about a year now -- primarily on the iView Multimedia acquisition. So I'm probably qualified to say that Kevin is perhaps one of the nicest people you will meet in our industry. He's smart, thorough, and a class act. So, I encourage you to check out his blog. He has some good things to say, he'll entertain you, and he's very likely to act on your feedback when/where he can.
Next - adventures in China, Korea, and Japan - interesting places & interesting times; thoughts on our acquisition of iView & Expression Media.

iam working on my first wp theme and iam new to php and wordpress. i need to create a single category widget that displays at least five posts from specific category. inside this post loop i need a conditional function to make the first post different from the rest. to be clear iam using a plugin that gives me all the needed option except conditional function that makes the first post different from the others. is there any one could help me By editing the plugin file to add this conditional function . or showing me the entire code from scratch.thanks
To make the first post different you could add a post counter and change the output on the first loop.
There isn't much code to this plugin, main output is done by pretty straightforward loop.
Unfortunately plugin gives no way to control styling of individual items so you will have to either:

Potential Neck Conditioning - Sandbag Head Supports (& Jogging?)
So, I was doing some walking/jogging up a hill (15m up over 250m, barefoot, on the street) today with a 105lb sandbag. After a little while I tried doing it with the sandbag overhead in both arms. Turns out it's pretty hard to hold it up there. So, I dropped it down, behind my head, and it landed sort of high on my shoulders. That's when I got the idea of holding it on my head, rather than overhead. The sandbag molded to fit my head pretty nicely, and I also used my hands to hold it in place. I did about a quarter of the way up the hill this way, jogging, took a slight break, and did the whole way down jogging. Definitely challenging.
This isn't something I'd do very often (if ever - I'm not a wrestler) since it seems like a rather high-impact exercise, but it might be something worth considering. Maybe a static version with a heavier bag for duration holds would be more appropriate, and not using the hands for balance so the neck has more of a job to do in the horizontal plane. It's just an oddball idea that rolled out so I thought I might as well pass it along and see if anyone here has input on the idea.
People seemed to have found it an easy way to carry things overhead before.
Holding the weight static on your head would be similar to wrestler head bridges and headstands except the inversion which takes some getting used to ( you prob don't have that prob ).
Hm, yeah, the headstand seems to be a similar idea. Running with the sandbag on your noggin will obviously have a bit more impact though, since it's not static, and static sandbag holds would provide you with two additional things: 1. the potential to go really heavy, 2. a stability challenge (if you go hands-free... I don't think a hands-free headstand is possible for most people).
There is a difference between training the neck muscles and acclimating yourself to spinal compression. I don't care for the latter.
Re: headstands:
Unless one has very good posture, the cervical spine doesn't like compression. Most weight trainers have a pretty significant forward head posture, which already loads the c-spine more than it is designed for. Add ballistic compressive loading to this, expect degenerative changes sooner rather than later.
Train the neck for isometric strength, IMO, much like the lower back. C-spine is very much like the lumbar, better to train for stability than mobility, best to minimize compressive loading and shear (especially ballistic). If I wanted to add neck strength training to my regimen, I'd likely just get the Everlast (?) head weight and wear it during sets of my gymnastics-type isometric holds (ie. front/back levers, etc.).
Garrett, would you mind explaining the head forward posture and how it misloads the spine?
Gant, that video was awesome.

Structural ailments aren't the only ones they remedy, though; onsite detailers also combat aesthetic blemishes on the inside and outside with washing, waxing, and buffing services.
