Tell me if this doesn't wrap up the situation in a sad twist.

Obama Names Vice President Search Team With Cheney's Smirk
Caroline Kennedy has been named to head up a three-person VP search team for Democratic presumptive nominee, Barack Obama.
This differs from George Bush's 2000 VP search team, headed by Dick Cheney, with only Cheney serving as membership, and – surprise! – decided Dick Cheney would be the best candidate for the job!
But does anyone worry with as much as Cheney is smirking and still acting like cock of the walk that you wonder if HE knows something (like what really went on with September 11th and Iraq, to name but a few) you don't, which is why he's not worried about having to leave the WH anytime soon.
Time: (The Dangers Inherent In) "Perpetruating The Al Qaeda/Iraq Myth"
That the Bushies deliberated lied and "created" al Qaeda where it was not (Iraq) was bad enough; but Time tells us why this lie's still rolling, still causing enormous problems short- and long-term.
McCain VP Possibility Charlie Crist, Gov of Florida, Has Sex Tape Surface
The more moral the Republican, the deeper the kink and the more likely (ick) there is video evidence. Jeb Bush, the president's brother whom Crist replaced as the GOP governor of the state, was fortunately too fat to allow video taping. Cough.
No word on whether Paris Hilton is in Crist's sex tape. Rumors that Michael Jackson's chimp, Bubbles, participated is also uncomfirmed. Snort.
DNC: Will Democratic Race End Soon?
Well, this is the weekend the Rules Committee of the Democratic National Convention meets to hammer out what's happening with delegates and super delegates, Florida and Michigan primary votes and what to do with them, et al.
Both DNC chair Howard Dean and many other ranking Dems have said they expect the race to be over soon after June 3rd, the date of the last scheduled donkey primary; that a commitment from superDs on who they'll cast ballots for is wanted soon thereafter.
Yet others are beginning to suggest this is a race that may continue all summer through to the Dem National Convention in Colorado, the first time the convention's been a real political potboiler since at least 1972. And I'm not sure Dems would be hurt badly by a later decision either: as long as the DNC continues its smart ads that target John McCain rather than a Hillary Clinton or a Barack Obama, I doubt there's a danger. We've seen an exodus AWAY from the Republican and even the uncommitted voters coming into this presidential election cycle; I strongly resist the notion that something will magically drive these candidates back to Mad Dog McCain. You?
The Right "Puzzled" By McClellan's Criticism
You know, I wasn't inclined to pay much attention to fomer White House spokesman Scott McClellan's new book about his tenure beginning soon after our dance of death began in Iraq. As McClellan took the job, we heard a lot about how decent a guy Scotty was and that the only explanation for him taking a job like that was loyalty to Bush. Strange how loyalty with a Bush lasts only so long, eh?
But I tell you, the more the right jumps up – from current and former WH bigwigs to semi-dead former righties (like Bob Dole) to Republcans-dressed-as-objective-news-consultants (like William Bennett, Karl Rove, et al) – to denounce the book and McClellan, the more they're convincing me to buy it.
I mean, why else would the right mount such a campaign over a relatively small disagreement in perspective? It's not like the American people like Bush anymore. They're trying to protect their own, which includes a lot of people who want to ride back into another term under the third Bush term known as the first McCain term.
Maybe you should read McClellan's book, too. Then you can learn more for yourself how Bush was intimately involved in the "outing" of Valerie Plame, then one of the CIA's major agents on WMD, at a time when Plame was invaluable to our "ending terrorism". But Bush had to have her "put down" because it was more important to smarm anything attached to Plame's critical hubby, former Iraq ambassador Joe Wilson, than to stop real WMD in the world.
No, don't get me wrong: McClellan is no hero for telling us now. If he'd outed Bush at the time, however…. But the book might be worth a read if only to see what other scum surfaces in it.
What The (Bleep) Is Wrong With Lieberman, Installment #9284
Now, to be fair, it's never taken all that damned much to get Connecticut Senator (formerly Dem, now independently installed up the butt of the Bush/McCainies) Joe Lieberman to wander off the reservation. And whenever he wanders, it reminds you that the mind is one hell of a thing to waste but that his is more like loooonnnnng overpoached goose.
Yesterday was no exception for Joltin' Joe-mentum. He rushed to the defense of nutcase tighty righty McCain religious nut, Rev. Hagee, who had JUST announced that Jews were at least partly responsible for their own genecide in the Holocaust. Lieberman defended this man (and I use the term man oh so loosely), but declined to answer questions re: whether he would allow Hagee to annihilate him because Lieberman is clinically depressing.
I'd call Joe an ass, but the anal sphincter is useful at least once a day whereas I can't recall the last time my former senator (Lieberman) was ever useful (unless trying to inflict a sick migraine headache upon yourself).
The War That Opposes Al Jazeera More Than Osama Bin Laden
I don't know whether you caught it here or elsewhere last week, but we've lowered the jackpot someone gets who snitches and leads to the death (wanna bet?) or capture (right, uh huh) of Osama bin Laden. But here in so called "liberal loony" Vermont, we're fighting a single opposing voice: whether to permit the broadcast of al Jazeera on a cable network here (and al Jazeera does NOT always take the side of Islam, if you have any regular reading experience there) like it's more heinous than September 11th and what we did to Iraq rolled together.
Now, the Burlington area is considered to be the most liberal part of the state; it's got a tiny Seattle kind of feel to it, and that it's a multiple college town doesn't necessarily make it more conservative.
Really? We can't listen to the other side occasionally? Sometimes, only by looking at both sides of the supposed truth can you discern the spin, the message, the actual agendae at work.
Predictably McCain: On GI Bill, The More Wrong He Is, The More He Insists He's Right
Has John McCain ever, EVER just admitted he was wrong? I mean, less than twenty plus years after the error, like in fighting Arizona making Martin Luther King Day a holiday.
To choose the Memorial Day weekend to defend his insistence that he's right in his failure to support the GI Bill truly is unconscionable. But my, oh my, is he ever showing "the Bush support" of our soldiers: giving them the shaft even faster than they shaft the enemy, whoever that is (and I tend to think our biggest fears should lie in the Bushies/McCainies).
Your Take On HBO's "Recount"?
Though I was nursing a miserable stomach flu that had me using my DVR to catch spots I missed in rushing to worship the porcelain goddess, I saw rapt through HBO's "Recount".
As honest as it was (and I thought it avoided some of the most fiery yet since proven true material), I realized there was probably no production that could completely tap my sick outrage at what happened in the Gore/Bush 2000 election.
Ironically, I was very ill on Election Day 2000 but I'd dragged myself out of bed, completely dazed, because I never felt like my vote was more important. And yet, at the same time, it never, ever permeated my consciousness that Bush could be named president. My partner voted Nader – and I let him have it for his decision – at least in part for how nasty the so-called left got toward Ralph for running, but though I never thought Bush could steal it, I felt the election was just too important to "waste" a vote.
Late in the day, I was very surprised at how well I heard Bush was doing. But it still did not dawn on me that what was about to happen ever could (and yet his stolen re-election in 2004 also surprised me because I could not fathom that we'd let him get away with it twice). After that, we made a concerted decision to turn off the media until 10 or 11 PM ET when at least some real count was in.
It was around 2 AM when Florida was turned from a Gore win, to a too-close-to-call one, and then around to a Bush victory. We were already hearing some stories about the Palm Beach and poorer Floridians having big problems either with nonsense design or broken voting equipment or being challenged as being on a felon list (and some 500-1,000 or more people were kept from voting for every "felon's name" listed on the stuff that came from ChoicePoint, who has since been awarded much of the control for our terrorist watch lists, etc).
This is how feverish sick I was, both physically and from the news: around 2:30 am, I started telling God that he'd be welcome to "take me" if only he wouldn't let Bush win (and I've been a little pissed at Him/Her ever since).
As outrageous as that night was, what followed was worse. The media kept telling us we were all tired of the fight to get the recount (I only recall the Bushies being tired) because we were eager to focus on the holidays (sheesh!). But the people I spoke with, while they wanted it over, certainly didn't feel Gore or anyone else should just capitulate to suit the MSM. And some of these folks were Bush voters. Thus, long before 9/11, we've been letting the media, probably at the direction of the politicos it supports, tell us what should happen because of what appears to be an INACCURATE read of where the American public is.
So "Recount" could not quite recapture the terrible dawning horror of that first Tuesday in November of 2000. But could anything, especially knowing the great ruination of our country ever since?
And what was your reaction to "Recount"?
Don't Forget: HBO's "Recount"
You want to see this (Sunday, 9 PM EDT, HBO).
Reflections On This Memorial Day Weekend
Hopefully, most of us realize that the Memorial Day many will celebrate this long weekend indeed stands in memory of something: soldiers dying for a noble cause as designated by our government.
Sadly, what does this Memorial Day tell us when:
* we see how the veterans' folks in the Bush Administration would rather spin the number of soldier suicides each month than try to address the real problem
* when cemeteries are booked solid for services for soldiers who have died in Iraq or Afghanistan or by their own hand
* that to fulfill quotas, the Pentagon is accepting those convicted of everything from wife- and parent-beating to felony murder
* that many of our soldiers who DO manage to get the military to declare them as disabled must often wait 6, 8, 12 or MORE months to see their first check, with nothing to live on in the interim
* more and more, soldiers on the battlefields are having to call back home to their banks to try to keep their families from being foreclosed upon – there are supposed to be checkmarks in place to be sure this can't happen, but few soldiers seem protected
For those of you who have served us, thank you. And my sincere apologies that the Republicans who want so to use you for photo ops for e-election are the same ones who keep trying to block you from getting any of the thanks you are due.
Catch HBO's "Recount" Sunday Night
Just in time to make us (appropriately) very worried about November's presidential vote comes the star-studded HBO docu-comedy-drama "Recount" about the Bush v. Gore 2000 Florida contest. HBO airs it tomorrow (Sunday) at 9 PM EDT.
Just the Laura Dern-as-Katherine-Harris bit looks deliciously worth the watch, IMHO. Might bring a few laughs along with a reminder of the great injustice and tragedy done when Bush was allowed to steal the White House.
Thank The President For The Latest Gas Price Hike
No joke. With crude oil prices already well past the record $100/barrel that we used to treat as the great marker for "peak oil", where was the price going to go but WAAAAY up when Bush does the following in the past week:
* More saber rattling at Iran with "evil" charges amounting to the same damned things the U.S. is doing in Iraq
* Goes to Israeli Knesset (their Congress), plants a huge wet kiss on PM Olmert, and manages to dis both Iran and Barack Obama in the same charge as he also indicts Muslims in general
* Only then does he go to Saudi Arabia to ask them to increase oil production, at which point the Sauds flipped him the bird and sent him home as gas prices jumped by as much as 30 cents in a 24-hour period in some locations
* Threatens our own Congress who stopped the record levels of oil reserves Bush has been spending a fortune in storing (waaay above what any other admin has done, and Bush increases the reserve everytime the price rises like he wants to just hand energy companies all the tax dollars not being spent on the Pentagon)
Oil just closed on the stock market at a record $133.17/barrel. Thanks, President Bush! What latest horror will you enact?
"No Child Left Behind" Alive or Free in Iraq?
And this figure does not include the juveniles, some as young as 11 or 12, sent to Guantanamo Bay on specious, oft-never-filed charges:
The U.S. military is holding about 500 juveniles suspected of being "unlawful enemy combatants" in detention centers in Iraq and has about 10 detained in Afghanistan, the United States has told the United Nations.
A total of 2,500 youths under the age of 18 have been detained, almost all in Iraq, for periods up to a year or more in President Bush's anti-terrorism campaign since 2002, the United States reported last week to the U.N.'s Committee on the Rights of the Child.
Everything You Ever Needed To Know About Republican John McCain Yet Was Afraid Were True
The DNC has launched McCainpedia.
After all, the more you know about John McCain, the more concerned you will be.
Bush Likens Obama Diplomacy To Hitler Appeasement/Holocaust
President (I can never believe he bears this title) George W. Bush has done so many reprehensible things during his "administration" that it's hard to find a new source of outrage. Yet he managed to provide just that when, in front of the Israel legislature today, he liked Democratic candidate Barack Obama's desire to seek diplomatic solutions with Iran to the appeasement of Hitler and allowing the Holocaust to happen. Considering how much of the lawmakers in Israel are elected for their more extreme views, it was certainly pandering to a captive audience.
It's no small irony here that the Bush family fortune – for those who don't know – was cemented by Bush's grandpappy, Prescott, who rose to become a U.S. senator AFTER his New York based bank became disgustingly rich laundering Nazi money. Nazi money. Prescott Bush was no underling at the bank; he was an architect of the laundering and he knew where the riches came from.
To my knowledge, Barack Obama never got rich off plundering the wealth of a people whom Hitler's Nazi Party designated for genocide. But I know that many generations of Bushes have Hitler to thank. It paid for the embarrassingly worthless "college education" of the numbskull who thinks he's president and helped pay for that cute little wedding in Crawford for Jenna Bush last weekend.
To accuse Obama of Nazi-like appeasement would be heinous anyway, given what we've seen with the Bush Admin's famed lack of diplomacy. But for Bush to do it while he's filled his larders with the money stolen from Jews and others who opposed the Third Reich is so far beyond the pale it defies description.
Want To Lose Your Social Security Savings? Vote McCain
Yes, sir. John McCain was a big proponent of Bush's plan to kill Social Security and steal your savings, which he tried to sell as a bonus at the same time his packed courts keep ruling against retirees who suddenly find themselves without any of their promised benefits package. If they treat your parents like this, imagine what they have planned for you and yours.
So vote McCain if you want the feds stealing more of your money.
Call Your Congress Critters: Stop New Bush War Blank Check
As early as tomorrow, the House will vote on Bush's latest arrogant, insane demand for another blank check to pay for Iraq and Afghanistan – money that always ends up in the hands of ranking (and rank) Republicans and defense contractors.
Join me – and I just completed my call to Peter Welch's office (D-VT) as the sole Congressman from my home state – in telling your reps NOT to authorize this. It's NOT going to pay for our troops – just for more fat cat war profiteering.
Supreme Court Approves Of New Poll Tax
That's exactly how the Times Argus of Vermont, hardly a liberal rag (believe me!), characterizes the U.S. Supreme Court's rubberstamp of states who've decided to force voters to pay fees other than directly at the ballot to cast a vote. And I heartily agree with them.
… voter ID laws have proliferated not because of a surge of voter fraud. They have been adopted by Republican-dominated legislatures as a method of discouraging voting by groups likely to vote Democratic. Ethnic minorities, the poor, the elderly €" these are the people not likely to have a driver's license as a matter of course.
What will happen now is that elections will take place, and election officials will forbid some voters from voting. At that point, new plaintiffs will have been created, and new lawsuits will proceed. In the meantime, elections will have been corrupted by unnecessary voter suppression measures.
Voter suppression is a tactic employed by Republicans in recent history, as in Florida where police went to the homes of blacks to frighten them from voting and voter rolls were stripped of names by the overenthusiastic purging of the names of felons.
The remedy is for state legislatures to reject these Republican tactics. The court now has made the reinstitution of the poll tax into a political fight. It is a fight the American people thought they settled in 1964 when they adopted the 24th Amendment.
My grandmothers could not vote until they were well into their 20s because law did not consider them full citizens solely because of their gender. Now someone else's grandmothers will be restricted from voting because they don't hold a driver's license (something neither of my grandmothers had; lots of poor rural women in the first half of the 20th century did not) or just feel it's wrong to force this effective poll tax at the polls.

newborn pos. for Meth
Posted in the Paragould Forum
#1 Apr 24, 2011
I thought if a mother delivers a baby that test positive for meth. The Dr. had to call DHS & they would TAKE BABY & MOTHER WOULD be arrested. Dr Becton let this mother take baby home.
United States
#2 Apr 24, 2011
Wouldn't that be the hospital letting her take the baby home? They do the lab work on the baby and Dr. Becton wouldn't be the baby's doctor.
"once was blind"
Since: Jul 10
now I see
#3 Apr 24, 2011
I don't know about here. But in larger cities.... The hospitals are obligated to call DHS, and many have contracts with Behavioral Health hospitals. An order is automatically generated to have an assessor come out and evaluate the mother, so she can get help.
#4 Apr 24, 2011
The hospital staff should contact DCFS (Division of Children and Family Services) as hospital staff are mandated reporters. A child born with a positive drug screen should be reported and accepted under Garret's Law
#6 Apr 26, 2011
That is true .When I called DHS here in Paragould the 1st lady I talked to didnt know what Garrett's Law was.I just dont understand the system at all. So sad for the baby.I feel like the hos. & the Dr. are respondable. because the Dr. has to release the baby & mother. Also he would have to be informed of the blood work & look at it before the release. i just need to know if Arkansas inforces the Garrrett Law. The last I heard the mom was still getting high & was seen carrying the baby in a Wal Mart bag, oh by the way she breast feeds this baby!
#7 Apr 27, 2011
Have you hot lined it? 1-800-482-5964. It should be accepted and get an investigator out to the house. Preferably you know an address or can give directions to the alleged offender's house. You do not have to give your name if you don't feel comfortable doing so.
United States
#9 Apr 27, 2011
Dr. Becton would only release the mom not the baby. The Dr that the mom picks for the baby releases the baby. I used Dr. Hasik and he released me and Dr. Kemp had to be the one to release my daughter.
#10 Apr 27, 2011
Correct. Dr hasik released me but I had to wait til the pediatrician made rounds the next day to release my child. I don't think dr becton has anything to do with the baby except getting it out of u!
United States
#11 Apr 27, 2011
That is correct.
#12 Apr 27, 2011
who is this lady i no a few like that
United States
#13 May 27, 2011
Yes the Garret law was made possible because a grandmother here in Paragould helped get it passed because her grand baby was born addicted,and yes the hospital is to contact DHS when any drugs are found in a new born
United States
#14 May 27, 2011
A positive drug screen in newborns is reported to the Department of Human Services by the hospital. After that, it is up to the state to investigate and remove the child from the mother's custody. Sometimes the systems works. Most of the time it does not.
#15 May 30, 2011
Well guess what. The hospital let this baby go home with its mom & she is breast feeding this beautiful baby. This is the most beautiful baby I ever saw. I contacted DHS & they did nothing for weeks. Said they couldnt find her. But I had no idea where to look for this mother. So I went to Franklin apt ask some of the thugs over there & they knew her told me where she was at. Myself & 3 other parents went to this apt. Their she was This baby was sitting in a nasty carriage in the floor with dogs & filth. I called DHS 3 hrs later they still couldnt find the house. In the middle of town & I gave address.The mom is on the run. Last I heard mom had baby in Wal Mart Bag sleeping under bridge or whoever would let her stay with them. Mom still doing meth. The system does not work! If something happens to this baby, Heads will row.
#16 May 31, 2011
There are many rules, regs, and laws DHS must deal with when working a garrett's law case. If you don't know what those are, don't bad mouth the system. Most folks have no idea but want to bad mouth the system. Get educated and then you can complain.
#17 Jun 7, 2011
Excuse me I worked on a State level for years. I also know the system does not always work. But most of the time its because of being LAZY & not doing ur job. This is one of the reason there is such a turnover with case workers other than the pay. But it is the Doctor, Hospital & the nurses job to make sure DHS is notified! It is Mandated Someone was LAZY & let this baby slip thru the system! Shame on U!OH,.. yes I will complain & complain, this is a tiny baby who cant tell us they hurt, they crave and care for themselves! By the way , you dont know,I do know this is some of ur kin! What r u doing for this baby? Nothing but sitting on here doing NOTHING, How dare u!
#18 Aug 23, 2011
There is a law in Ar called "Garrett's Law." states any child born and test positive for illegal
drugs will be taken from the mother and placed in Foster Care.
Google garrett's law
#19 Aug 24, 2011
So u just wandered into this thread from june to state something that's already been said? We know what garretts law is. Previous posts already explain it.
United States
#20 Aug 24, 2011
If you know the mother call DHS yourself!
United States
#21 Aug 24, 2011
not always its not.without going into detail i knew a person who gave birth,baby tested positive,almost died,was transferred out and all paragould hospital did was say its so sad it happens.the birth mother had tried to perform a self abortion hospital knew that but did not care even though she tested positive for meth the nurses encouraged her to breast feed.
United States
#22 Aug 25, 2011
/This is a TERRIBLE story. Please call the police, DHS/Child abuse hotline and keep calling until something is done. If I knew this person- I would be shouting to every person I could think of until the baby was removed and properly cared for.

Yes an actual baby-related question. I ask this here because of the overall reasonableness means I won't get any "when God decides you're ready it will happen" etc. junk.
But my question is - is it normal to become kind of less enthusiastic about getting pregnant/having a baby after it doesn't happen the first month? It isn't any kind of disappointment or sadness...just kind of less into it. I guess since I've always kind of been on the fence about having kids- I worry about things being signs (the non-spiritual kind) that it isn't something I am cut out for. In fact- seeing pregnant women gives me anxiety. Normal? Or not so much?

The Institute of Neuroscience (ION) is a group of biologists, psychologists, and human physiologists at the University of Oregon that has pooled its expertise to tackle fundamental questions in neuroscience – questions such as, "How do neural stem cells choose between self-renewal and differentiation?" "What mechanisms generate the large diversity of neurons within the brain?" "How do these neurons 'wire up' into functional circuits?" "How do neural circuits produce behavior?"
These questions are being explored at all levels of organization – from the relatively simple nervous systems of Drosophila, C. elegans, and zebrafish to the more complex networks in mice, owls, and humans.
ION boasts a highly collaborative faculty with expertise in genetics, development, electrophysiology, optogenetics, and functional MRI. As a result, students enrolled in our PhD program come away with the broad conceptual and technical skills necessary to run an independent neuroscience research lab or pursue many other related career paths. Our state-of-the-art facilities and excellent support staff allow ION members to progress rapidly by making exploratory or pilot experiments accessible.

"Substantial" downloadable content for Trine 2 will arrive next year, developer Frozenbyte has told VG247.
Frozenbyte marketing manager Mikael Haveri promised content would last "something along the lines of half the length" of the game itself.
"We can promise around four hours with the DLC," he said, speaking to Patrick Garratt this morning as part of a Finnish media trip.
But that's not all, sports fans. Haveri added the studio was looking to include new modes for the PC version. One example he gave was a mode called Last Wizard Standing, although no additional details were given.
If the modes are successful, they'll eventually come to the PSN and Xbox Live Arcade versions of the game.
Trine 2 launches on PC today, with it coming to PSN on December 20 and XBLA on December 21. The original's sold 1.1 million units as of 2009.

I'm building an application where the sending of all notifications (email, SMS, fax) will be asynchronous. The application will write the notifications to the database, and a batch job will read these notifications and send them with the appropriate transport.
I was first reading at ways to run cron faster than the minute, and realized this was a bad idea.
The batch scripts are written in PHP, and I guess that writing a proper daemon would be quite an overhead (though I'm open to any suggestion, as PHP car run indefinitely as well).
What I have in mind is a solution that would:
- Run the PHP script every 5 seconds
- Check that the previous run has finished, or abort (never 2 concurrent batches running)
- Kill the script if live for more than
xminutes (a security in case it hangs)
- Start with the system (if a reboot occurs)
Any idea how to do this?

Complex aspen forest carbon and root dynamics during drought

Drought-induced vegetation mortality has been documented on every vegetated continent in recent decades and constitutes a major uncertainty in climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems and carbon cycle feedbacks. While recent research has focused on specific failure mechanisms during drought-induced forest die-off, a broader understanding of the physiology of trees under drought, especially changes in growth and carbon allocation, is needed for determining the sensitivity of forests to drought and interacting mechanisms during forest mortality. I present here multi-tissue and high-resolution temporal dynamics of tree carbon resources during moderate experimental and natural drought in trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) forests, a major forest type in western North America that recently experienced widespread drought-induced die-off. Drought led to substantial declines in inferred carbon uptake. Tree carbohydrate concentrations, however, largely increased in concert with substantial decreases in growth and severe declines in root biomass. These findings highlight that growth declines, especially in fine roots which are important to water uptake, and increased carbon allocation to root non-structural carbohydrates are key responses to drought in aspen and could play an important role in widespread die-off. They suggest multi-year consequences of drought and carbon-hydraulic interconnections. They underscore the need for a more integrated multi-tissue, multi-process, and multi-year perspective of climate-induced forest mortality.

Hi there,
I have installed PHPGiggle and all works fine apart from the generated urls. They are slightly wrong.
As far as I can see I have configured the config file correctly but I get urls like this:
when infact I should have:
I have my WP in a folder called 'wordpress' but the generated link is not pointing to that.
Any ideas?
As far as I can see I only need to point here to the url:
'$phpiggle_siteurl = "http://www.domain.com/wordpress/phpGiggle";
define ('phpgiggle_url', $phpiggle_siteurl.'/');'
in the config.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

its 350 for a year parking pass. if you dont have the cash. you are screwed because parking is bad and they love to tow
Baltimore is a city, so it is tricky if you don't have a pass. However, getting parking is not difficult if you have a pass, and there will always be a spot for you if you do choose to buy the $300-or-so pass. Freshman cannot have cars on campus. You don't need a car because people take cabs everywhere, but it's nice to have a friend who has one. It's helpful when you want to buy groceries or go out for food.
Loyola is in desperate need of a free parking lot on campus for students and visitors. It is very inaccessible in its current state to not live on campus and attend meetings/classes etc.
I don't have much experience with parking at this point in my college career here.
Permits are sort of expensive, but you just have to suck it up because otherwise, street parking is like hide & seek & you never win orrr you find a spot & end up getting towed
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Parking permits at Loyola are very expensive at $350 per year. Many students, especially underclassmen, are unable to get parking spots on campus near their dorms because parking is limited, and they have to park on the outskirts of campus at the FAC or at the campus police lot on York Road. Transportation in the city is not hard to find, and because parking on campus can be a frustrating process, many students don't have a car on campus until their junior or senior years.

27 year old woman | Saint Louis, MO, United States | Seeking men 24-33 in University City, Missouri, United States
Quirky, fun!
I'm from small town USA where everyone knows everyone's business which is the reason I moved as fast as I could. I graduated from college early and made my first move to St. Louis. I landed an internship in NYC and absolutely loved it. I am much more of a city girl at heart but was born and raised a country girl. I moved back St. Louis in 2012 and decided to hang out here for a while to stay close enough to family. I don't have an abundance of free time but when I do you can always find me with friends. I wasn't always a very healthy person but have made some lifestyle changes and as a result, I put my gym time above everything else in importance. I like to run - I've done several different 5K's and tried a half marathon once, that won't happen again. Being active is pretty important to me and should be to you as well. I have a lot of friends sprinkled all over the world. I would jump at an opportunity to see them. I currently work for an advertising agency but if I could, I would volunteer for the rest of my days. My back up plan, had I not been able to get a job, was going to be spending a year in Thailand working with children. Too bad I can't make a living volunteering. I often am accused of asking a lot of questions. I try not to be interrogating, but that is how I learn. You never know if you never ask, right?
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering
Other types of exercise, Running, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Dogs
I don't have any pets only because we don't have a fenced in yard. Not a big fan of cats. I'm allergic.
Does the gym count? I go to concerts pretty frequently. When the weather is nice, I like to be outside; Forest Park and the Creve Coeur Lake.
Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, MO
Music. I'm also a movie fanatic; I've seen everything. I may be addicted to chocolate milk. Really, there is no question about it. I always have gum, always. I try and watch all the Cards fames. Volunteering. Being active.
I really like hanging out with my friends and I like to try new things. In the summer, you can find me at a concert.
I don't have near as much time to read as I'd like.

Sedimentation is one of the biggest threats facing coral reefs, not only in Palau, but everywhere in the world where there are reefs within reach of river plumes. Due to Palau's largest island of Babeldaob's steep topography, high rainfall, and highly erodible volcanic soil, erosion has been exacerbated by recent increases in land-use. Studies have documented the negative impacts of the resulting sedimentation on coral reefs around Babeldaob. Similar studies have shown that mangroves can trap about 30 % of the fine eroded sediment from land. This paper documents the filtering effects of cultivated wetland, namely that of taro (Colocasia esculenta) fields, which are natural wetlands used to grow taro, a source of starch for the population. A 4-month long field study was conducted to quantify the sediment accumulation rate for three different types of taro fields and to determine their sediment trapping efficiency. The results showed that the taro fields have the capacity to trap up to 90 % of sediments. We suggest that the sediment trapping capacity of mangroves and taro fields mitigated the negative impacts of soil runoff on coral reefs around Babeldaob while the island was being inhabited by early Palauans for many generations.

Cupertino, Calif --September 1, 1998-- Symantec Corporation (Nasdaq:SYMC), the world leader in utility software for business and personal computing, today announced it is shipping pcTelecommute gives telecommuters everything they need to work from home. It offers integrated work logging, call management, faxing, file transfer, file synchronization, and remote control.
"With pcTelecommute, I get remote control, fax, and call management with one installation," said beta-tester Pete Durst, a computer instructor based in Ottawa, Canada. "And the product is very easy to use. Symantec created a drag-and-drop interface that's very intuitive. In fact, once you have the application open, you simply click to do whatever you want-send a fax, send a file, even update the application via LiveUpdate. By minimizing the amount of information users have to provide, Symantec has made telecommuting pretty painless."

Restaurant crybaby lashes out at NYT's Frank Bruni (pdf). Jeffrey Chodorow's new restaurant (where each diner is constantly threatened with impalement by samurai sword, apparently) got a (funny and) decidedly lukewarm review in the Times. So he took out a full-page ad to complain about it (pdf linked above), price tag: at least $30k. He also whines about it on his new blog. The word "critic" is deployed in scare quotes.

I glanced out the window of our bus. There was a lone soldier standing as stiff as a stick, saluting. He couldn't have been much past 20.
That lone soldier was standing outside one of two buses full of World War II veterans at the D.C. airport. I was a Chaper One for one of those veterans on something called Honor Flight. Honor Flight is an organization which honors veterans by sending them to Washington to see the patriotic sites. The World War II memorial. The Iwo Jima statue. The guards changing at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
But it's more than a sightseeing trip. It was a whirlwind journey meant to honor the last of the World War II veterans, to say thanks. For many of them it was the first time they saw the memorial built in their name. For too many it will be the last time.
We left Milwaukee early Saturday morning and returned that night. Everyone is a volunteer and the veterans pay nothing. Everything is paid for by the Honor Flight organization, which is funded by donations. Each of the 200 veterans had a chaperone, so there were more than 400 of us all together.
Some of us have been waiting a lifetime for this

The organizers did an amazing job. We went through security at the airport in record time. A police escort allowed us to circumvent most of the D.C. traffic. An admiral was even contacted when it was learned that the fountain at the World War II memorial was turned off for maintenance; "If anyone can find water, it's the Navy," the admiral was told, and the fountain was on by the time we arrived.
Honor Flight is quite a tribute, but a bitter sweet one. That's because 900 World War II veterans die every day. The youngest World War II veteran is 85. The oldest past 100. Some of our veterans had wheelchairs or canes, but a surprising number didn't need any help to get around. The fact that they kept pace with the much younger chaperones in the 80 degree D.C. weather was a tribute to their toughness — one of many traits honed in the battlefields in Europe and on islands in the South Pacific.
The World War II monument built in their name wasn't even finished until 60 years after the war. It came long after the monuments for the Vietnam and Korean wars. Ironically, it was a testament to members of the so-called Greatest Generation, who were reluctant to draw attention to themselves.
Today, when it seems everyone is looking out for number one, most of these veterans thought what they did was simply their duty. Sure, World War II was a much less controversial war than the ones that followed. It was much clearer that it was a just war and who the bad guys were. Still, that doesn't take away from a generation that considered duty part of a well-lived life. The veterans on the trip were clearly touched by the attention they received. Some, no doubt, told war stories especially among their peers. But I never saw one bragging or acting as though they were anything special. Humbleness and duty — two traits most of us could learn more about.
There were crowds awaiting the veterans at both the DC and Milwaukee airports. There were bands and dignitaries and well-wishers, families and volunteers. The crowd at the Milwaukee airport numbered in the thousands. Greeting us as we got off the plane was a row of representatives from today's armed forces, standing at attention and saluting — as still and respectful as the lone solider I had seen in D.C.
As I look back, I can't forget the image of the lone soldier at the D.C. airport. He didn't appear to be part of an organized welcoming party. He was just one young man with an uncertain future ahead of him, standing at attention as many of those on the bus had stood at attention six decades earlier — straight and firm and, by all appearances, fearless.
I can only hope we don't wait as long to honor him and the rest of today's warriors.
The veterans on the bus, now nearing the end of their lives, shouldn't have had to wait so long, either.

Which Tweets From Iran Are True?
Many media organizations, present company included, have turned to social networking sites, including Twitter in the search for first-hand information on what's happening in Iran, especially since Iranian authorities have greatly restricted what foreign journalists there can report on and have stopped renewing journalists' visas.
But who can tell what's reliable and what isn't on Twitter? It's impossible to know even if what you're reading was actually written by people in Tehran or elsewhere in Iran, especially since there's a movement for as many people in the Twittersphere to use the Iranian capital as their location a l� "I'm Spartacus" to make it harder for Iranian censors to stop tweets that are actually from Iran.
The unintended consequence of that move was to make it even harder for the non-Iranian censors to figure out what's really from Iran and what isn't. For instance, how do we know that Gabhan is really in Tehran and not, say, spoofing from Johannesburg?
And even if he's in Iran, how do we know his information is credible? It's even possible that some of the tweets are coming from Iranian authorities or foreign intelligence agencies issuing disinformation.
One function of mainstream media journalism is to disseminate information we've determined to be reliable. It's not easy to do and we journalists make mistakes in vetting "facts," witness much of the important reportage leading to the Iraq War. We're human.
But the reliance on Twitter and Facebook is essentially throwing the doors open to everything and anything.
All of which makes Jon Stewart's satirical riff last night on CNN's use of social-networking sites not only very funny but trenchant too.
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
|Irandecision 2009 - CNN's Unverified Material
This isn't meant to denigrate the social-networking sites. Clearly, they are making it impossible for Iranian authorities to accomplish their goal of keeping the world ignorant of what's happening there.
But much of the information coming across those sites requires some heavy caveat emptor. We have to assume a lot of the information we're seeing on Twitter is true. We just don't know which part of the Twitter flow is and which isn't.

thanks , i setup a CNC mill that uses angular contact bearings on the lead screws , and seeing that these bearings did have one out edge thicker than the other had me thinking this same way , they could be angular contact bearings , which are indeed radial bearings designed to handle both a radial and a thrust load
but , if an angular contact bearing is installed wrong , it will fail , since it is designed to take a thrust load from only one direction
another tell tale , in a lot of the photos of failed blade grip bearings , people still have the retainer , which i only think could happen if the bearing had been mounted so that the retainer side had been towards the mainshaft , opposite of what we are saying
so far , i haven't heard anyone say that Align bearings have failed , so swapping out to Align bearings may still be the safest route , but personally , i think the stock bearings may prove to be better if they are installed correctly , only time will tell , thanks again

thanks for the link , the correct bearing size for these is 4mm X 1.5mm X 1.2mm
Align uses this size in their washout arms on the 250 , part# H681X , you can get them in a pkg of 4 for around $6.00 US shipped , from various online hobby shops
so far , no one has reported failures with the Align bearings , but i am still not convinced that the stock bearing won't work when installed correctly

I kept thinking last night that the whole thing was kind of silly. I can fly FF on the sim, even loop and roll it and land in one piece. Why not a real CP heli? So I charged up a few batteries, two for the MCPx and one for the SR and went out to the field. There was no wind (for a change) so it was perfect. I found flying the little MCPx was easy other than when it got too far away. After the first battery though, I was doing nice banked turns and even got in an unintended but near perfect stall turn. The second battery was more of the same - until I stuffed it into a cedar tree! Fortunately, it was fairly low in the tree so I managed to pull the branch down enough to grab it. No damage. On to the SR. Well, this didn't go so well but it wasn't the disaster I was afraid it would be. I forgot I was playing around with the gyro the other day and must not have it set up right in my DX7 because it was in rate mode and apparently at a low gain too. I found myself chasing the tail a lot. At one point, it got upside down on me (not sure how that happened) and I hit the TH and watched it drop. Other than a bent flybar, it seemed Ok. I bent it back straight and tried it again. Pretty much more of the same. Chasing the tail. I finally decided I'd had enough and went to try to set it down as well as I could. Well, when it touched down, the tall grass grabbed the tail rotor, seized it and I heard the tell tale sound of teeth being ripped out of either the belt drive or the main gear. End of that for today but at least I made some baby steps towards FF. I'm not as afraid of it as I was and I feel that once I get that gyro figured out (and fix a few other things), my next attempt should be a lot better.
Are you the one who modded the mcpx with a more powerful one?
If you are, it's possible your tail is wagging (or hunting) - since the unchangeable tail gyro settings may now be too much for that motor.

i found one thing that really helps , is having a heli you don't have to constantly herd , so a calm day and a smooth heli really help
with the larger CP helis the slightest mistake costs you , but you will see these micros will give you a few good crashes and keep jumping back up to fly , it really helps your confidence
glad to hear you are getting it , best regards

Has anyone had issues with the tail losing all control? I admit I am not the best 3d pilot, but I can flip and hover inverted with no real issues.
Well, I got my mcpx (my wife actually bought it for me for my birthday, must be she doesn't want me in the house) and flew through 3 batteries without much trouble. The fourth battery went horribly wrong about a minute and half in. I did a nice slow rainbow to bring it inverted, and the tail kicked over a little, I corrected and didn't thing much of it. Once inverted it settled in and hovered, then the tail started to drift more and more, so I went to right it. Once it was vertical, the tail went out all together, it was spinning so fast that there was nothing I could do but hit the throttle hold and hope.
So I pick it up and look it over. Servos out of position, but thats it. So I re-initialize it, the servos all come back to the proper position, spins up ok. So I lift off. The tail wants to do nothing but drift, in any flight mode, a constant counter clockwise slow piro. Even though its a constant piro speed the tail motor will spike and dive in speed. I figure that is the gyro trying to correct for a burnt tail motor.
I know the MSR had tail motor problems, but I never encountered any with mine. I went ahead and ordered a new tail/motor.
I remember seeing some videos of the developers flying and it doing a similar thing at the end of the videos.
Has anyone else run into this? Would your thoughts lean towards the motor or the 3in1?
You might want to check the pitch on your tail blade. Compare it to the spare and even try swapping it.
Hope that helps!

Thermal comfort is a major issue in cities and it is expected to change in the future due to the changing climate. The objective of this paper is to use the universal thermal comfort index (UTCI) to compare the outdoor thermal comfort in Hong Kong in the past (1971–2000) and the future (2046–2065 and 2081–2100). The future climate of Hong Kong was determined by the general circulation model (GCM) simulations of future climate scenarios (A1B and B1) established by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Three GCMs were chosen, GISS-ER, GFDL-CM2.1 and MRI-CGCM2.3.2, based on their performance in simulating past climate. Through a statistical downscaling procedure, the future climatic variables were transferred to the local scale. The UTCI is calculated by four predicted climate variables: air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity and solar radiation. After a normalisation procedure, future UTCI profiles for the urban area of Hong Kong were created. Comparing the past UTCI (calculated by observation data) and future UTCI, all three GCMs predicted that the future climate scenarios have a higher mode and a higher maximum value. There is a shift from 'No Thermal Stress' toward 'Moderate Heat Stress' and 'Strong Heat Stress' during the period 2046–2065, becoming more severe for the later period (2081–2100). Comparing the two scenarios, B1 exhibited similar projections in the two time periods whereas for A1B there was a significant difference, with both the mode and maximum increasing by 2 °C from 2046–2065 to 2081–2100.

What do you think? Does the information paid for by taxes in a democracy belong to the people who helped pay for it? Or maybe governments have a right to keep secrets and an interest in doing so--everything can't be open.

Researchers from the Yale School of Medicine recently discovered that, when provided earlier treatment, children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) showed serious improvements in behavior, communication and brain function.
Fred Volkmar, MD, Kevin A. Pelphrey, and other researchers at the Yale Child Study Center published the study on early treatment, paving a way for brain change in autistic children. The findings were discussed in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. The brain systems related to social perception had positive reaction to the pivotal response treatment, a kind of early intervention behavioral program that was developed at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Along with parent training, the treatment included a section just focused on play and includes areas for learning and development.
"ASD is a heterogeneous disorder, and research aimed at understanding treatment must address this heterogeneity," noted Pelphrey in the statement. "Both the children in our current study made progress, but their degree of progress and level of skills at the end of treatment were distinct."
Researchers explained how pivotal response treatment could help children as young as two years of age. In the study, they utilized functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to track changes in brain activity following pivotal response treatment for two five-year-olds with ASD. With the treatment, the scientists were able to determine specific behavioral goals for each participant in the study and then reinforce the distinct skills with treatment that included activities centered on motivational play.
Based on the findings, the children who participated in the treatment displayed improvements in behavior and were able to socialize with others. As well, the MRI and electroencephalogram showed that there was a boost in brain activity in the areas that were related to social perception. Even though the previous results were obtained from only two children, the scientists are currently conducting a study with 60 other participants. Each child received the same treatment for ASD, but the outcomes were not homogenous as ASD is a layered disorder that affects each individual in a different way.
The scientists believe that the study is a step forward in treatment planning. "Autism research has come a long way," explained Pelphrey in the statement. "These findings are exciting because they show that early intervention works in autism."
The research is useful for the medical community as ASDs are a growing issue in the country. A complex neurobiological disorder that limits an individual's communication and social skills, ASD provides behavioral challenges to family members. Treatment programs have targeted older children and autism diagnosis and, until recently, have focused on children when they are between the ages of three and five years of age.

How to check an advisor's background
Posted March 13th, 2014 @ 11:55am
Did you realize there are more than 50 different "senior" designations currently used by financial advisors?
And according to a report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, some advisors often use these designations to imply that they have advanced training or expertise in the financial needs of older consumers, but end up selling inappropriate and sometimes fraudulent products or services. To read more of this cautionary report, please click here.
And remember, to check the background of a broker or an investment advisor, you can use FINRA's BrokerCheck. You can also use the Securities and Exchange Commission's Adviser Search.

Management, Strategic Management Theories And The Linkage With Organizational Competitive Advantage
The main objective of this paper is to review the evolution of management theory, overview of strategic management theory and its linkage with the resource-based view (RBV) of the firm's competitive advantage. It was found that the RBV of the firm's competitive advantage is one of the main strategic management theories applicable to explain organizational performance, and it is also a part of the larger management theory family. Examining organizational competitive advantage from the RBV allows the organization to gauge the magnitude of importance placed upon its internal firm resources and capabilities in particular towards attaining a competitive advantage level, thus providing further support and extension to the RBV.
