text: Hi, I feel this is more a feature request than a bug, but nearly every resident email checker has a menu item "mute" or something similar. In gnubiff, this could (as minimal solution) be an menu option "disable new mail command" - I suppose I am not the only person who has a new mail sound (I use "/usr/bin/aplay /.../NewMail.wav" as new mail command). Why should only the other applets have this cool option? :-D Thanks, Mathis from Hannover, Germany.

In 1991, the Australian Commonwealth Parliament unanimously passed the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation Act 1991. This Act implemented a 10-year process that aimed to reconcile Indigenous and non-Indigenous people by the end of 2000. One of the highest priorities of the reconciliation process was to address Indigenous socio-economic disadvantage, including health, education and housing. However, despite this prioritising, both the Keating Government (1991–1996) and the Howard Government (1996–2000) failed to substantially improve socio-economic outcomes for Indigenous people over the reconciliation decade. In this paper, I examine one of the most prominent socio-economic areas, that of Indigenous health. First, I discuss the appalling levels of Indigenous health throughout the reconciliation decade by analysing a number of health indicators, including life expectancy, infant mortality rate, standard mortality ratios, hospital rates and health Infrastructure. This analysis reveals significant and often worsening disadvantage in these health indicators. Second, I analyse a number of policies and programs concerning Indigenous socio-economic disadvantage that were developed by Commonwealth Governments in the 1990s. I argue that these policies and programs largely failed to address Indigenous socio-economic disadvantage. I also discuss alternative policies and programs that could reduce the significant levels of socio-economic disadvantage suffered by Indigenous people.

Read an Excerpt
The weight of his large hand, not to mention the warmth of it, went straight from my shoulder to my cock, and I had a hell of time not getting a raging boner from it. That was all I needed! Our next-door neighbors' marine son finding out I was queer. I could think of worse ways for my life to come to an end, but not many.
"It's okay. You didn't know," I said, looking up into his crystal blue eyes, which were as warm as his hand. "But trust me. It's really okay for you to spend the weekend. Besides, I could really use the company. I'm usually all alone."
"I don't know how to thank you."
Of course, the first thought that went through my head was, "Fuck me!" However, I luckily didn't say that.
"Don't think anything of it. Like I said, I could really use the company." I was now repeating myself because I really didn't want to say any of the things that were swirling around in my head, like "Fuck me!" or "Can I suck your cock?" or "How about I lick every inch of your entire body?" or at least a dozen equally obscene suggestions I had for how he could thank me. Fuck! If I could just get to see him naked, that would give me masturbation fantasies for at least a month--better than any of the damned porn sites could supply.
Finally I came up with something that wasn't obscene or illegal in several states. "Hey! Would you like a beer?"
"Yeah, that would be great," he said, finally, almost reluctantly, removing his hand from my bare shoulder. However, I could still feel the warmth of it there even after he'd taken it away.
It was then that I remembered I was standing there in nothing but a pair of jeans. I thought about running upstairs and putting on a shirtor something, but Rick had already seen my scrawny body. I mean, I didn't have muscles the way he did. I had always been slender even though, as my Mom always claimed, I could eat like a horse. I just had a very high metabolism evidently; I guess to go along with my high sex drive. I mean, I was used to jacking off three to four times a day to get some relief from my cock, which seemed like the Energizer Bunny--always stiff as a board and ready to go. Like it was now. Just that touch of Rick's hand on my bare shoulder had been enough to set me off--that, and the fact that I hadn't jacked off earlier.
"Where do you want me to put this?" Rick asked, motioning to his duffel bag.
"Why don't you just leave it there and we'll figure out where to put it later," I said, thinking about where I was going to have Rick sleep.
Our house wasn't big. It only had two bedrooms upstairs. There was the couch downstairs, but it wasn't a sleeper sofa, and I seriously doubted that it would fit Rick's height or his large, muscular body. I also didn't think it would be right to put him in my mom's room. That would be an invasion of her privacy. That basically left only one place--my room. Now Mom had decided when we moved there that I needed more room and more privacy than she did and so she'd given me the master bedroom, which had its own bathroom. The room was also a lot bigger than the bedroom she'd taken. So big, in fact, that she'd bought me a king-size bed for it, saying I was growing and would need more room than the old full-size bed I'd had in our last apartment. So there was plenty of room for Rick to sleep with me. However, the thought of that brought me some real worries. How in the fuck was I going to sleep in the same bed with someone who looked like Rick without having a serious case of blue balls?
Rick followed me into the kitchen while all these thoughts were going through my head. I had him sit at the kitchen table, and grabbed two longnecks out of the refrigerator. This was another indication of how much my mom trusted me. She knew I never drank too much and so she didn't mind sharing beer with me. Besides, I didn't have a car, so I wouldn't be driving under the influence anyway. I never abused the privilege of having a beer every once in a while. After all, I didn't like the idea of getting drunk. I was afraid of the effects because I didn't know what I was liable to say or do and I had a fairly big secret that I had to keep.
"So does your mom let you drink beer or is this because she's out of town?" Rick grinned at me.
Oh, fuck! He had dimples when he grinned. The cutest fucking dimples I'd ever seen. Just what my already randy cock did not need to see.
"Uhh ... no. She lets me. I don't ever drink more than one or two. I don't like getting drunk."
Rick laughed. "Shit! I sure did when I was your age. Me and my buddies would get fucked-up every chance we got. But then again, we were jocks and most of the year we were in training so the opportunities were few and far between. Did you play any sports?"
"No. I was in the Paideia Program."
"Oh! One of the 'brains.' Well, that doesn't mean you can't play sports. I was in Paideia too."
"You were? Nobody's ever mentioned that," I exclaimed in surprise. Fuck! It wasn't fair that somebody could be so athletic, so good-looking, and so smart, too.
"Yeah. I figure not. For some reason, the only way people wanted to see me was as Super-jock. And most of the time that meant they tended to treat me like I was stupid as well. Like my folks and my brothers do." I could hear a lot of pain in his voice as he said this.
"Why does your family treat you that way?" I asked, before stopping to think this was actually none of my business.
"Because of this." Rick grabbed the material of his uniform between the thumb and index finger of his right hand.
"What? Because you're a marine?"
"Yeah. They all think I was stupid to join the Corps and turn down all those scholarships." I could hear disgust and anger in his voice.
"But the Marines are the elite force of all the armed forces. They're the ones who get called on first any time our freedom is threatened. That's why they're called 'The Few, The Proud.'"
I admit that I had a thing for the Marine Corps. And not just about the hunky, supermasculine image that members of the Corps had. Even though I knew that, as a gay male, I was little more than a third- or fourth-class citizen. My freedoms and my rights were severely curtailed because of my sexual orientation, but I was still very patriotic. I believed in this country and I believed that, eventually, all the wrongs perpetrated against gay people would be somehow set right. Or, at least, an effort would be made to set them right. Just the way the Civil Rights movement had done for blacks. Of course, the hunky, supermasculine image thing didn't hurt any either, if I were completely honest. After all, one of the hunkiest and most supermasculine examples was sitting right in front of me, causing a wet spot in my jeans from the precum leaking out of my hard-on.
At my words, however, Rick gave me a penetrating stare, almost as if he were trying to figure out if I was serious. Evidently, he must have decided I was because he gave me a shy smile and blushed. God! He was even more fucking beautiful when he did that.
"Thanks, Robby. Maybe you could give that speech to my mom and dad sometime. They and my brothers all think I'm throwing my life away in the Corps."
"So why did you join?"
"Because, believe it or not, I really wanted to serve my country. I felt it was my duty to do it. Nobody in my family, except my dad's father, had ever been in the armed services. Grandpa served with the Marines in the Second World War. Plus, to be honest, I didn't want to go to college. At least not then. I had no fucking idea what I wanted to do with my life, and I figured that I would just be wasting my time going to college, trying to figure it out. I figured that after I got out of the Corps, I'd have a better idea about my life."
"But that makes perfect sense. So why didn't your family support what you were doing?" I couldn't understand how Rick's family could find fault with his reasoning.
"My brothers all were perfect little clones of each other. Each one dutifully went off to college and became so-called successes because that's what my father demanded of them. They claim that they're happy with their lives, but I wouldn't give you two cents for them. Do you know about my brothers?"
"Yes. Your mom's told me about them."
"No, she hasn't. Not the truth. She's told you what she wants to believe about them, not the truth. Both she and my dad are in denial about them."
"Really? So what is the truth?"
"Okay, let's start with my oldest brother, David. He's on either his fifth or sixth marriage, I can't keep track. The last three wives have all been 'trophies.' Women who were fifteen to twenty years younger than he was and were eye candy for his arm. They married him for his money, but even they couldn't stand him for more than a couple of years each," Rick said.
"Fuck!" I muttered softly.
"Then there is my next oldest brother, Joseph. The Great Healer! I'm sure my mom has told you what a great doctor he is."
"Well ... yeah."
"Did she tell you where Joseph lives or what kind of doctor he is?"
"Uhh ... she said he lived in California. She just said he was a doctor."
"Yeah, well he's in California, all right. Beverly Hills to be exact, and he's a plastic surgeon. My brother is the leading expert in breast implants in the country. My brother makes all his money on boob jobs. That's what kind of 'doctor' he is. And he's on either wife number four or five; I don't know which at this point."
"And then there's my last brother, William. I'm sure that Mom has told you that he's a hospital administrator in Florida. That's what she usually tells people."
"Well ... yeah."
"Billy-boy is the 'administrator' of the hospital custodial staff in a small, private psychiatric hospital and has maybe three people under him. He can barely hold on to that job because Billy-boy is a major boozehound. He's a drunk who's been married three times and divorced each time for physically abusing his wives. But I'm the loser of the family because I'm a marine."
"But that's totally fucked-up."
"Yeah. I know. Why do you think I haven't been home since I left for boot camp?"
"So why did you come home now?"
"I just got back from Iraq, and I'm being transferred to Quantico for training. My flight was booked through Chicago from San Diego so I figured I would lay over for the weekend and finally see Mom and Dad. To be honest, I was really dreading this. In some ways, them not being here is a relief for me."
"So I guess you'll want to hang out with some of your jock buddies this weekend."
"Why the fuck would I want to do that? I didn't have all that much in common with them when I was in school. Now that I've been away in the Corps for four years, I've got nothing in common with them at all. Most of them either went to college and are now married with kids, or they didn't go to college and are married with kids. And, trust me, the last thing a wife wants is her husband hanging out with some old high school buddy who lives what she sees as an exotic and exciting life. Might give him ideas of what he's missing."
"So what do you want to do?"
"Well, what do you usually do?"
"Read and watch DVDs."
"What? No buddies? No girlfriends? How old are you?"
"I just turned eighteen two months ago. No, I've got no buddies and no girlfriends. I don't have a car so I don't go any place," I said, and I could hear the defensiveness in my voice.
"Hey! I'm sorry. That was stupid of me. I wasn't judging you. I just didn't want to cramp your style by being here," Rick said apologetically.
"Trust me, I've got no style to cramp. So what do you want to do?"
"I just spent a year eating sand and dust, roasting in the heat during the day and freezing from the cold at night, getting shot at, almost blown up a couple of times, and being scared almost every minute of the day that I was going to go home either on a stretcher or in a body bag. Spending the weekend doing fuck-nothing except vegging on the couch watching movies sounds like the best thing I've ever heard." He gave me another grin showing his dimples.
"I thought you'd want to go out and get drunk or get laid."
"I don't need to go out to get drunk. I'm old enough to buy booze and drink here. And the last fucking thing I want is to be in a fucking bar. Totally boring and, since all I've got with me are my uniforms, totally stupid. You end up either with some drunken asshole trying to pick a fight with you because he wants to prove he's a man by beating up a marine, or people ask you really stupid questions like, 'How many guys did you kill?'"
"Oh..." was all I could say. I'd never realized that. God knows the thought of how many men he had killed over there had been in my mind.
"And as for getting laid, well ... to be honest with you, it's all well and good, getting your nut, don't get me wrong, but since I came back, I'm not interested in one-night stands anymore. I want somebody who knows me and cares about me. Somebody I don't have to play stupid games with the next morning, like telling them I'll call when I know damned well I won't. Can you understand that?"
"Well ... yes and no. I mean I get the part about wanting someone to care about you. But I don't know anything about the rest of it," I said quietly, blushing with embarrassment.
"Are you saying you're a virgin?" he asked quietly.
I looked at him, I expected to see disgust or pity in his face, but the look he gave me was neither of those. It almost seemed like he was glad about it, the way he was smiling gently at me, but that didn't make any sense to me at all.
"Yeah," I said, and even I could hear the shame in my voice.
"Hey! There's nothing to be ashamed of. If you ask me, you've avoided a lot of heartache. You might think that getting laid is greatest thing in the world, but a lot of times, it's just fucking awkward. And it can be really frustrating trying to find the right person. You strike out more than you score--trust me on that one."
"I'll bet you don't. Not with the way you look and the body you've got," I said, and immediately thought to myself, Oh, fuck! That didn't just come out of my mouth. Now he's gonna know for sure that I'm queer.
Rick, however, didn't seem to notice. He just laughed.
"Nobody scores all the time. Not even me. Like I told you, you strike out more. And a body and a face don't change that. To be honest with you, if I find out somebody just wants me because of my body or because they think I look good, that turns me off for sure."
Oops! I thought to myself. That's exactly why my fucking cock is bone hard. But then I thought about it, and I realized that maybe that wasn't the whole truth. Oh, the minute I'd seen him standing at the door, I just about lost my breath over how beautiful he was, but now that I'd had a chance to actually talk to him and get to know him a little, it wasn't just Rick's body or his good looks that was keeping my cock hard. It was Rick himself. If I were trying to describe Rick as a person, the two words I would use would be honesty and integrity. Okay, I didn't know him all that well, but that's the feeling I got from him and everything he'd said. To be absolutely honest, given half a chance, I knew I could fall deeply in love with him--all the more reason to keep my hands to myself this weekend.
I guess I have to admit to something here. I'm a fucking romantic. As much as I hate that about myself, I know that what I really want isn't to get laid, though when I'm horny that's about all I can think about. The truth is, what I really want is a guy to love who would love me. I want all that crap you read about in romance novels--love at first sight, falling totally in love with a guy who is your soul mate, being totally faithful to him because there isn't another male on the face of the planet who could make you be unfaithful. I know how fucking stupid that is, but I just can't seem to help myself. The last fucking thing I needed in my life, though, was to fall for some straight guy--and a straight marine, no less.
"There is one problem with you getting drunk here. Other than two more bottles of beer, there's not any booze in the house, and there's no liquor store anywhere near here. At least not in walking distance."
"Robby, that's what they make cabs for."
"Yeah, but cabs are expensive."
"Shit! I've got plenty of money. I just spent a year in Iraq. How much money do you think I spent over there, huh? I've got almost a year's salary built up. It's not going to hurt me at all to pay cab fare. Besides, you know what I want more than anything else?"
"No, what?"
"I want to go to the Daily. You know the bar and grill over on Lincoln at West Wilson?"
"Yeah. I know it. Mom's taken me there a few times."
"Well, the whole time I was in Iraq, I kept dreaming about one of their Daily burgers with bacon and blue cheese and cheese fries on the side."
"So, let me get a shower and change out of these fatigues and we can head there. You're hungry, right?"
I was an eighteen-year-old male. That translates to a walking, talking, hormone-driven eating machine.
"Well ... yeah," I said, uncomfortably.
Since I didn't have a job or anything, I didn't have a lot of money, certainly not for eating out. Not with my appetite.
"This is on me, Robby. It's the least I can do for you being so nice as to put me up for the weekend. Trust me, this weekend you pay for nothing. It's all on me. Okay?"
"Okay." It felt kind of weird. Like I was his date or something. Not bad weird. Actually kind of good weird, but weird nonetheless.
"So where do you want me to shower? Come to think of it, where do you want me to sleep?"
"You can shower in my bathroom. As to where you're going to sleep, well ... There's the couch down here, but I don't know if it would be very comfortable or long enough for you or ... uhh ... well ... you could just share my bed. It's a king-size one."
There. I'd said it. I just didn't know how he was going to take that, however.
"If you're sure you don't mind, I'd rather sleep in your bed," he said, quietly, looking at me with a stare that seemed to go right down to my soul.
"No, I don't mind," I replied quietly.
"Good, then. Let me grab my duffel and grab a shower and then we'll head out."
He went out to the foyer and got his bag, and then he followed me up the stairs. He threw his bag down on the bed while looking around my room. He started to unbutton his shirt, and I saw the smooth skin covering his massive pecs. I knew I shouldn't be standing there watching him strip, but I couldn't move. He didn't seem to mind. In fact, he smiled at me.
"You know, Robby? I think this is going to turn out to be a really good weekend."

Sara Mae Berman: pioneer, marathon champion, women's running advocate
Sara Mae Berman is a distinguished American distance runner. She was born in the Bronx, New York on May 14, 1936. Berman came from a generation in which women were not encouraged to be athletic, especially after having children. Berman was attracted to running longer distances. She, along with a group of female runners, actively campaigned for equal rights for women in the sport of distance running. Berman's running accomplishments are impressive. She competed in her first road race in June 1964 as an unofficial entrant in the 5-Mile Handicap Race in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Just seven year later, she had won the Boston Marathon three times, before women were recognized as official participants (1969 in 3:22:46; 1970 in 3:05:07 (unofficial course record, bettering the previous record by more than 16 minutes and finishing in the second best time in the United States that year) and 1971 in 3:08:30). In 1970, she won the first RRCA Women's Marathon Championship in Atlantic City, NJ, besting a field of six female starters with a time of 3:07:10. That same year, she also finished third in the inaugural New York City Marathon women's division.

Anne Audain
Anne Audain was born November 1, 1955 in Auckland, New Zealand with severe bone deformities of both fee. She did not walk correctly until she had reconstructive surgery at age 13. Three years later, at age 16, she qualified for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games in the 1500 meters. A year later, at age 17, she finished 9th at the 1973 World Cross Country Championships. She also competed in the 1500 meters at the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch, New Zealand, finishing 6th and top New Zealander in the final with a time of 4:21.1. At the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics, Audain competed in the women's 800 and 1500 meters. Although she failed to get past the heats, she broke the New Zealand national record for the 1500 meters in her heat. Prior to the start of the 1980s, major track and field events did not include any women's events longer than 1500 meters. This practice started to change early in the new decade, and in March 1982, Audain competed in her first 5000 meters race, breaking the world record. At the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane she won gold in the women's 3000 meters in 8:45.53, a New Zealand national record. At the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, Audain competed in the inaugural women's Olympic marathon but failed to finish. At the 1986 Commonwealth Games in Scotland, she won a silver medal in the women's 10,000 meters. In 1988, at her final Summer Olympic Games in Seoul, she placed 11th in the inaugural women's 10,000 meters race, finishing in 32:10.47. During the 1980s, Audain won more American road races (75) than any other male or female runner, including 7 wins at the Lilac Bloomsday Run in the 80s and early 90s. In 1993 Audain founded the Idaho Women's Fitness Celebration 5K, which is now the largest 5 kilometer race for women in the United States. Audain became an American citizen in 1995. That same year, she received the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Award for her services to athletics. In 2000 she launched the Anne Audain Scholarship Awards. This scholarship program funds college scholarships for young women who seek to balance academics, sports, leadership and community endeavors in their daily life.
Ken Martin
Ken Martin was born on September 10, 1958. He is an American long-distance runner who was a two-time United States National Champion in the Marathon. At the 1984 California International Marathon, Martin set a course record with a time of 2:11:24. At the 1985 Pittsburgh Marathon, he competed alongside his wife at the time, Lisa Martin. Based on their performance at the 1985 Pittsburgh Marathon, he and Lisa became the fastest married couple ever in a marathon, winning their respective divisions. Martin placed second in the 1989 New York City Marathon, finishing in 2:09:38 to Tanzania's Juma Ikangaa's 2:08:01. As of 2007, his finish time at the 1989 New York City Marathon was the fourth-fastest marathon ever run by an American-born athlete. Martin is now a 55-year-old father of three living in Indiana. In 2010, he had a bout of Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It was, for the time, successfully treated with chemotherapy. Following the chemotherapy, Martin returned to his training, with the goal of setting a new male 50-54 age group record in the mile. The non-Hodgkin lymphoma, however, took on a more aggressive form. Though he was "mad as hell at first" about the disruption in his running plans, he continued exercising, even during treatments for his lymphoma. During two six-day rounds of chemotherapy, Martin brought a stationary bicycle into his hotel room and rode it 30-minutes a day. "Cancer and the fatigue will wear you out, affect your mood and your ability to do stuff," he said. Martin is interested in exploring whether exercise can improve the quality of life for patients like himself. There was little available research on this topic. Martin's response was to create the Workout Cancer Research Fund to finance research on exercise's impact on tumors and cancer treatments. Learn more about the WorkOut Cancer Research Fund.

text: Clearly the FDA meeting did not go according to plan with the news of a pivotal BE study...what a shame as there appeared to be ample clinica experience with the PK studies. There is still strong value in Remoxy, but unfortunately it has been significantly delayed for all involved. If PFE indeed decides to continue, it will be reflected in a re-structured deal and eventual in lower pps in ptie/drrx. If PFE abandons, then it will really hit the fan, as the timeline will be further extended and no immediate resources to PTIE. I'll be watching to re-stablish an entry point at much lower pps.

By the end of February, even Hollywood's sick of awards show, so here's The 2014 Independent Film Spirit Awards which happens every year the night before the Oscars.

While Rosario Dawson may be sharing the stage with Greta Van Susteran's would-be Trojan Horse (That thing was full of coke and booze, right?), her trip to the annual Correspondents' Dinner was less eventful than Lindsay's because suprise, she almost didn't make it. TMZ reports:

Because I can only pat Hollywood on the back so much for getting dressed up and pretending to care about a cause, here's the rest of The 2011 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala featuring a cavalcade of startlets wearing way too much makeup and knowing they're literally moments away from watching Michelle Rodriguez drink 85…

In an interview with "The Morning Mash Up" on Sirius XM, Lady Gaga talks about how her life is "destined" to be a movie and that she should be played by an eight-foot tall multi-ethnic giant or a 45-year-old Italian woman. Either one. Via The Huffington Post:

Here's Rosario Dawson vacationing in Italy this week and, wow, what the hell happened? She used to be stupid hot.

The staff was super friendly and helpfull. The prime location on longstreet, however, also means a lot of noise from the street (partypeople noise and cars revving their engines at 3am, and that almost every night). The windows are paperthin and didn't prevent cold or noise coming in. But if you want to party all night, it's a perfect location. and the showers are divine, at least on the top floor.

Holiday Harbor Pool Status
Ahhh... the life in the "Anaheim Resort"!!! This is my front door and bedroom view. A few months ago, perhaps due to the recession, pool maintenance was suspended here. I didn't notice until the ducks landed. They find this pool every spring and kick up a loud ruckus every morning at sunrise. Since I don't use the pool here, I don't give it much notice. But after the ducks left... well, here's what's been going on just outside my door.

Fire In The Local Mountains, And A Twilight Stroll Through The Anaheim Convention Center
The fires burning in Angeles National Forest have been blazing for days now. The plumes of smoke can be seen here in Anaheim. I took off at sunset this evening to the parking structure at the Convention Center in hopes of some nice photo's of smoke on the horizon.
The smoke was there, but the light was more favorable on the old Anaheim Convention Center "Dome". It was "The Convention Center" when it was built. In recent years the Convention Center has been expanded to include a structure that looks very much like an air port terminal... and has been used as such in the film industry.
As I was coming down from the parking structure, I noticed that an event was winding down in the main complex. So I ducked in for a look around. Technically... I was trespassing, but nobody was there to stop me.
Here's the pix...

Skip to comments.28 arrests after downtown disturbance, El attack
Posted on 03/31/2013 5:09:54 AM PDT by RugerMini14
Nearly 30 people were arrested downtown on Saturday night for disturbances that ranged from bumping into passersby on sidewalks to attacking passengers aboard a CTA train, authorities said, citing preliminary information.
Seventeen of the people in custody -- all but two younger than 18 -- were charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct, said Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro.
Those arrests happened on the Magnificent Mile near North Michigan Avenue and East Erie Street between...
(Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...
Fella Dancerella and his police chief (rabid anti-2A political hack) Garry McCarthy have neither the will, nor probably the means, to control the Amish youth of Chicago.
Anyone care to play "Guess The Skin Color"?
It doesn't matter unless they are willing to prosecute and actually hand out ten to twenty year sentences. This one-year and out scheme....doesn't work.
QUICK! take all the guns from law abiding citizens.
pass it around
When I go to Chicago I almost always stay at one of the Marriott properties on the Magnificent Mile!
Well, looks like it is the Financial District from here on out...
I just watched and, sure enough, it was those pesky Amish!
Well, the people of Chicago have one bit of undeniable luck. They have a mayor who cares.
Ya elect RATs, ya get up with fleas.
My thoughts exactly. Why even bother to arrest these little punks? Wrist slap, don't do it again and we'll see you at the midnight basketball game sure doesn't seem to work very well. Maybe they should track the names and see which ones end up shot within the next year. Not that they could be in a town where guns aren't allowed. Nice way to celebrate Easter huh? Of course maybe they were just trying to meet new and interesting people. Were any assault rifles confiscated?
Come Visit and Spend Money in Chicago....NOT!
Even you correctly guess the skin color, what's your point? You think they suddenly behave well when they're at home? Our system of helping the poor hasn't helped. We now have generations of Dem voters who vote to give away money with no accountability. Half do it out of guilt and the other have think they're "entitled" to it. While the wolves figure out how to spend the working sheep's money, the kids grow up with no education, no future, and little sense of self-worth.
The citizens of Chicago think this is OK so they won't vote their loser leadership out of office. Don't work, spend your money in, or live in Chicago (or anywhere in IL).
They have this simmering rage when they are not even hungry.
Wait until their EBT cards flash ERROR and die.
Um, aren't those owned by king hussein's gal pal and marxanista penny pritzker? Maybe it's hyatt. Anyway, I'd avoid chi-town if I could.
LBJ declared war on pverty and lost. Barack Obama declared war on prosperity and won.
>>Um, arent those owned by king husseins gal pal and marxanista penny pritzker?<<
FWIIU, Marriott has been owned by the Marriott family since inception.
I have over 2 milion points and 1500 nights — I am Platinum for life so I'll be staying there no matter who owns it.
Just for reference here...gang bangers in Chicago don't use assault rifles. They are dedicated pistol-owners. Chicago cops will tell you that Chicago would be going to heck in a hand basket if they ever switched over, but they have no interest in assault rifles. "too much luggage to lug around".
Avoiding IL. Yup. When we moved from FL to NV we took a northern route but deliberately avoided passing through IL since there "may have been" some items in the trunk that were, let's say, something you didn't need to be stopped with in IL.
>>LBJ declared war on pverty and lost. Barack Obama declared war on prosperity and won.<<
Post of the DAY!
AND stolen as a tag line!!! (I was even able to fit the attribution in!)
Now if I could only learn to spell poverty.
They are the children and grandchildren of LBJ.
The ridership is somewhat less than civilized.
The 11 teens, all but one of whom are younger than 18, told police they had agreed on Twitter to meet downtown. It appeared that several of those arrested had not met in person before Saturday, authorities said. [emphasis added]
Google "Garry McCarthy arrested nj"
LOL! Dang dude. That's alot of points. Hell, I'd stay there too if I had that many. Must have been hyatt I was thinking of but as far as pritzker (possibly our future sec. of comm)I wouldn't support anything she is involved in.
Okay, I just checked and it is/was hyatt she was involved with. Not owns. On the board.
Ya elect RATs, ya get up with fleas.
Soon followed by bubonic plague.
Roger that. But didn't moochelle antoinette recently state that the young lady shot just after hearing king hussein was killed by a bunch of kids with an assault rifle? I mean, according to the anti's, they are responsible for millions of youths being killed and wounded every year. (I think it was charlie rangle that said that.) I guess you can't believe the press after all. LOL!
"Wait until their EBT cards flash ERROR and die.'
Good point. Anyone who has been stuck behind someone using a SNAP card to buy a grocery cart full of soda, chips and giant packs of ribs from the meat department knows they flash "Insufficient Funds" when the money's gone.
we used to fly up to Chicago for weekends but I wouldnt set foot there now after my daughter's friend was up there for dance camp and sent us pictures out her dorm window of gangs lining up and shooting...........
I dream of the day .....
>>I just checked and it is/was hyatt she was involved with. Not owns. On the board.<<
All the boards on all the big companies are polyglots. Let's face it, after a certain point in wealth, the rich are no longer are affected by their desired policies and decide to go for the running people's lives with as much control as possible=liberal.
Yeah, too many points and too many nights. I am getting close to 3 million AA miles as well (also Platinum for life).
>>Good point. Anyone who has been stuck behind someone using a SNAP card to buy a grocery cart full of soda, chips and giant packs of ribs from the meat department knows they flash Insufficient Funds when the moneys gone.<<
The same thing happens when you are behind them in casinos.
Anyone care to play Guess The Skin Color?
I'm guessing the Amish.
Hope you are doing well.
It's a good thing these lucky youngsters have all those free ObamaPhones. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to call 911 or get a job!
Just wait until they really want to get a mob together and have some fun!
I'm a wondering if these youts were using Obama Phones to plan their swarm?
"Anyone care to play Guess The Skin Color?"
Obama's kids again, of course!
If a real thinking person who actually desired to end this insanity in Filthydelphia/Chicago/LA etc, why wouldn't they; ban all organizations that promote murder, and gangs that require the members to commit a felony as a requirement for admission?
Why wouldn't they put anyone who committed a gun crime in prison for life?
The reason they don't do it now is because RATs want the statistics to use as a manufactured crisis to leverage disarming the citizens, and other components of their "social engineering" agenda.
NY, Chicago and LA are at the bottom of a list of 90 districts regarding the prosecution of federal firearms violations.
I'd bet that the Magnificent Mile is not anywhere as magnificent as it was, say 40 or 50 years ago.
Probably. If this were Cleveland, I'd' say definitely.
Where's Bernie Goetz when you need him?
I'm amazed that the Obamedia covered it at all. They usually try to keep the sheeple clueless about such things.
look at those kids, they think it is funny, they think it is sport..........
Now, it's: "The just barely adequate Mile".
In 1962, a classical psychology experiment put too many rats in a limited area, overpopulation, where they developed all sorts of antisocial and destructive behaviors. It is called the "behavioral sink experiment".
However, there has been no experiment conducted with rats, to determine how rats raised in an antisocial environment behave with rats who were raised in a social environment.
This is essential for another reason. Children who are raised by a heterosexual married couple are raised in a "success" track, oriented to improving their lives; whereas children who are raised by a single parent are raised in a "survival" track, which means they are 60% more likely to criminally offend.
Likewise, "survival track" children will affiliate with each other as a better survival strategy, affiliations that are sub-tribal, like street gangs. That is, such children are so socially devolved that their group aspiration is to become a tribe, even though tribalism is at the very low end of social order.
In situations where social people are in the proximity of the antisocial, while the antisocial group will be able to attack or even kill an individual, with any organization, the social people will quickly crush the antisocial group, unless they make an effort to not do so.
On the grand scale, this is why civilization almost invariably defeats barbarism, unless that civilization has so eroded from within that it is near spontaneous collapse.
On the lesser scale, it describes what happened to Detroit, and what is happening to Chicago and a few other places that are surrendering civility to the law of the jungle.
I was, just yesterday morning, pondering on the type of summer we might see. Where i live, people are avoiding the downtown area after dark and all of the parks because of the new Amish game, "Knockout". With luck we'll see this thing spin hopelessly out of control in a spiral escalation into daily scenes of flash mob violence in Chicago and other metro areas.
The Chicago youths have a unique opportunity to shut down all of Chicago. When the rest of the nation recognizes a trip to Chi-Town has real risk, they WILL quit coming. That could not be glossed over or ignored by the MSM.
Wow. I like that!
Weren't those lost in a fishing accident?
Amish again?
I think the idea that Rahm and Obama have is to destory Chicago first, as a blueprint for the country. With the help of the "church-social justice/community organizing " organizations they have stirred up a nasty hornets nest of people ready for civil disobedience.

EF5 Onwards Only - The features, APIs, etc. discussed in this page were introduced in Entity Framework 5. If you are using an earlier version, some or all of the information does not apply.
The video and step-by-step walkthrough shows how to map spatial types with Entity Framework Code First. It also demonstrates how to use a LINQ query to find a distance between two locations.
This walkthrough will use Code First to create a new database, but you can also use Code First to map to an existing database.
Spatial type support was introduced in Entity Framework 5. Note that to use the new features like spatial type, enums, and Table-valued functions, you must target .NET Framework 4.5. Visual Studio 2012 targets .NET 4.5 by default.
To use spatial data types you must also use an Entity Framework provider that has spatial support. See provider support for spatial types for more information.
There are two main spatial data types: geography and geometry. The geography data type stores ellipsoidal data (for example, GPS latitude and longitude coordinates). The geometry data type represents Euclidean (flat) coordinate system.
( more video options - including download)
You will need to have Visual Studio 2012, Ultimate, Premium, Professional, or Web Express edition installed to complete this walkthrough.
When using Code First development you usually begin by writing .NET Framework classes that define your conceptual (domain) model. The code below defines the University class.
The University has the Location property of the DbGeography type. To use the DbGeography type, you must add a reference to the System.Data.Entity assembly and also add the System.Data.Spatial using statement.
Open the Program.cs file and paste the following using statements at the top of the file:
using System.Data.Spatial;
Add the following University class definition to the Program.cs file.
public class University
public int UniversityID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public DbGeography Location { get; set; }
In addition to defining entities, you need to define a class that derives from DbContext and exposes DbSet<TEntity> properties. The DbSet<TEntity> properties let the context know which types you want to include in the model.
An instance of the DbContext derived type manages the entity objects during run time, which includes populating objects with data from a database, change tracking, and persisting data to the database.
The DbContext and DbSet types are defined in the EntityFramework assembly. We will add a reference to this DLL by using the EntityFramework NuGet package.
Note, that in addition to the EntityFramework assembly, a reference to the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations assembly is also added.
At the top of the Program.cs file, add the following using statement:
using System.Data.Entity;
In the Program.cs add the context definition.
public partial class UniversityContext : DbContext
public DbSet<University> Universities { get; set; }
Open the Program.cs file where the Main method is defined. Add the following code into the Main function.
The code adds two new University objects to the context. Spatial properties are initialized by using the DbGeography.FromText method. The geography point represented as WellKnownText is passed to the method. The code then saves the data. Then, the LINQ query that that returns a University object where its location is closest to the specified location, is constructed and executed.
using (var context = new UniversityContext ())
context.Universities.Add(new University()
Name = "Graphic Design Institute",
Location = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.336106 47.605049)"),
context. Universities.Add(new University()
Name = "School of Fine Art",
Location = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.335197 47.646711)"),
var myLocation = DbGeography.FromText("POINT(-122.296623 47.640405)");
var university = (from u in context.Universities
orderby u.Location.Distance(myLocation)
select u).FirstOrDefault();
"The closest University to you is: {0}.",
Compile and run the application. The program produces the following output:
|The closest University to you is: School of Fine Art.
When you run the application the first time, the Entity Framework creates a database for you. Because we have Visual Studio 2012 installed, the database will be created on the LocalDB instance. By default, the Entity Framework names the database after the fully qualified name of the derived context (in this example that is SpatialCodeFirst.UniversityContext). The subsequent times the existing database will be used.
Note, that if you make any changes to your model after the database has been created, you should use Code First Migrations to update the database schema. See Code First to a New Database for an example of using Migrations.
To view the database and data, do the following:
In this walkthrough we looked at how to use spatial types with Entity Framework Code First.

I love already being in the pharmacy program. I do not have to take the PCAT because of the direct entry program. In six years I will be a Doctor of Pharmacy. The workload increases each semester. The teachers and professors are very good about making themselves available for help if needed.
The professors are very nice. Some are stronger than others, but most are extremely dedicated to their fields of studies. Registering for classes can be difficult if you are looking for a general education requirement. Studying can be easy since there is a multitude of areas to study and people to study with.
Workload is very heavy for music ed, which is considered a double major.
The academics are very good at this schools. Most professors will help you out.
The professors are fabulous, and there is a vast array of options for classes.

I have a class,
ResourceManifest, which loads 3d models from a file and keeps them in a vector and then hands them out as requested. It is also possible to delete the cached 3dmodel from storage and I want my other components to be aware of this when this happens. Heres what I have now, but it dosn't satisfy my intent for sole ownership belonging to the
ResourceManifest class
typedef boost::shared_ptr<Model> ModelPtr;
class ResourceManifest
ResourceManifest(IRenderer& renderer);
ModelPtr LoadModel(const std::string& modelName, const std::string& assetName);
ModelPtr GetModel(const std::string& modelName);
void DeleteModel(ModelPtr model);
IRenderer& mRenderer;
std::vector<ModelPtr> mModels;
IMemoryAllocator& mMemoryAllocator;
In my first attempt, I keep the
Model as shared_ptrs; but the consequence is that, as implied, it is shared ownership, and I want only the copy that resides inside vector of
ResourceManifest to be the owner. The reason I want a smart pointer is only to be able to query if the
Model still exists, something I cannot do with raw pointers.
I am aware of weak_ptr, but I'd rather avoid its syntax if possible; I want to use it like a normal pointer if possible, like this...
ModelPtr modelCube = resourceManifest.GetModel("Cube");
...... later on
if (modelCube)
