Catawba Rallies Past BCSeptember 14, 2013
BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados took the opening set against Catawba College before the Indians rallied for a 3-1 win over BC in South Atlantic Conference action in Boshamer Gymnasium Saturday afternoon.
The Indians prevailed 23-25, 25-12, 25-12 and 25-18 to improve to 1-3 (1-1 SAC), while BC falls to 3-3 (0-2 SAC).
Brevard got out to a 7-2 lead in the opening set before Catawba evened it at 8-8. The Tornados took three straight points with the set tied at 10-10 to take the lead for good. Sophomore Fatima Gharachorloo delivered nine kills in the set to help BC to a 1-0 advantage, including kills on the set's final two points.
The Tornados were hot to start second set, taking a 7-4 lead after a service ace from Bailey Hayes. The Indians called a timeout before scoring eight unanswered points to go ahead 12-7. Catawba used a 9-1 run to end the set and tie the match at one apiece.
A kill by Erin Rollins brought the Tornados within two points at 9-7 in the third set before the Indians rattled off a 12-1 run to put the set out of contention.
The Tornados stayed within striking distance for the entirety of the final set despite an early Catawba lead. BC used a 6-1 run to cut the Indians lead to 18-15 before Catawba answered with a 3-1 run.
A kill by Jasmine Robinson later brought Brevard within three at 21-18 but represented BC's final push as Catawba ended the game with four unanswered points.
Gharachorloo collected a game-high 15 kills, while Rollins added 11. Hayes delivered 23 assists to go with a pair of service aces.
BC freshman Aleksandra Vrvilo collected a match-high 11 digs.
The Tornados are back in action Thursday night in an exhibition match at Division I Gardner-Webb in Paul Porter Arena at 6:30 p.m. Brevard resumes South Atlantic Conference play as they visit Mars Hill on September 20th.

Cops: First Alcohol, then Food
Wanting his own "taste," a Cobleskill man is charged with breaking into the same restaurant twice, according to the New York State Police.
Andrew Harte, 48, is facing two counts of Burglary (3rd Degree). He was arraigned in Cobleskill Town Court and sent to the Schoharie County jail on $7,500 cash bail or $15,000 bond and is due back court at a later date.
Police say that back in June of 2013, a burglary was reported at "A Taste of Europe" on State Route 145 in Cobleskill. Entry was forced and alcohol was stolen. Then two months later, on Labor Day weekend 2013, a second burglary was reported and food was taken. It took police 10 months but they arrested Harte on Monday, April 7.

This is the 5 1/2'-diameter inflatable wheel that provides waterborne fun for up to three persons who propel it from within. Built with sturdy, heavy-gauge PVC that withstands rigorous use in pools, rivers, lakes, or oceans, the wheel's left and right sides are built with inflatable sprockets that grip the water when riders inside walk, crawl, climb, or tumble within its 48"-high cockpit. Riders can shift their weight to one side to steer the wheel in any direction—three riders' coordinated efforts can propel the wheel up to 10 mph. The wheel's central barrel is built from transparent PVC panels that enable riders to see where they are going while the wheel's high-profile colors allow easy spotting by boat traffic. Eight ports allow water to easily drain from the wheel. A built-in grommet attaches to the included 10' rope for securing the wheel to a boat or dock. Every seam is hot-air sealed for strength, and the PVC is treated to block damaging UV rays. Inflates in 15 minutes with an electric air pump (not included). Fully inflated 6 3/4' L x 65" Diam.

Best Uses
My family enjoyed using it the first day we received it. However, it deflated after a couple of hours of use. I called customer service and they were very helpful. They are sending me a replacement tomorrow with no cost to me. They tell me there is a lifetime warranty on it. We are glad to hear that and will continue to buy products from Hammacher Schlemmer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: I think it is a good product but you can't try it without breaking the car window. Hopefully it will work if ever needed.

By Peter G. Tamburro, Boomerang staff writer
My Aunt Viola had Alzheimer's disease. My last visit to her was just a few months before she died, and it showed me how important a simple visit to someone in a nursing home could be. I was nervous about seeing her since I hadn't seen her in a couple of years, and given her dementia, frankly, I wasn't sure about making the 100-plus mile trip. On entering the room the first thing I noticed was the statuesque, square shouldered woman I'd known all my life was rounder, diminutive and fixated on some imaginary point.
I asked her how she was feeling, but she was unresponsive. "Aunt Vi, it's your nephew Peter, Ray's oldest boy," I said to her. "I used to come to see you and Uncle Jerry in Florida at Christmastime when I was little." I held her hand and talked about the family, the farm, the good times together. As I talked, her shoulders squared, she chanced eye contact a couple of times, and then she laughed that hearty, vibrant and unmistakable "Aunt Vi laugh." She squeezed my hand and curled back into her chair. The intimacy of that moment was her way of telling me she loved me and thanking me for remembering her. It was to be our last visit and I think we were both happy I made the drive.
The holidays are a popular time to visit family and friends in care facilities, and it's a great time to strengthen or start a habit to visit more often throughout the year. Many of Ohio's nursing homes and other care facilities are embracing a concept called "person-centered care." One of the key components of this approach is that the individual should feel at home, no matter where he or she lives. Visits from loved ones, friends and even well-meaning strangers go a long way to making someone feel at home.
Here are some tips to make the most of your visit:
It's always a good idea to check with the nursing home's staff to learn their policies regarding visitors before you go. This will help you make the most of your visit. The Office of the State Long-term Care Ombudsman reminds all of us that nursing home residents have the same rights to dignity and respect as you and I, and this includes the right to receive visitors. While you are there, take a look around the facility and talk to your loved one living there. Ask her if she is happy and receiving the care she wants and needs. If she identifies any issues, you can help her work with the staff to resolve them, or you can call the Ombudsman's office at 1-800-282-1206 for assistance.

'Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff appreciates having a player like Numminen on the blue line. "We look to Teppo for a lot of things," Ruff said. "He is steady back on defense. He can kill penalties and quarterback the power play if needed. It just seems as if he's in the right place at the right time all the time."'

Everything will come full circle the instant Steve Nash steps on the hardwood.
When the Lakers (17-22) visit the Toronto Raptors (14-26) today at Air Canada Centre, Nash will face a team he considered a "very, very serious option" as a free agent this offseason. Once the Phoenix Suns informed the 38-year-old point guard they preferred rebuilding over retaining him, Nash chose the Lakers.
Even though he might have returned to his Canadian roots by joining the Raptors, Nash felt the Lakers' championship pedigree and proximity to his three children in Phoenix trumped it all.
"That means everything to me," Nash said in an interview with this newspaper. "The people who understand get it. Family comes first."
Even though Nash remains unsure what kind of reception he'll receive in Toronto, those close to him expect a positive reception. After all, Nash has adopted that family-first mindset toward his native country.
The latest example: About 12 years after leading Canada to the quarterfinals of the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Nash became the national team's general manager nine months ago in hopes of increasing the team's international prestige.
"I could still be playing for the national team," said Nash, who stopped playing for the national team after 2007. "But the reason I did it early is because I felt like the program needed a change.
"Most importantly, there's a bunch of kids I feel I can help."
The NBA has featured 21 Canadian players, and only eight of them remain in the league. The program pales to the world's elite. The Canadian men's basketball team hasn't made an Olympic appearance since 2000 and it hasn't medaled since winning silver in the 1936 Games. Canada's silver medal in the 1993 World University Games coincided with Nash playing while attending college in Santa Clara.
Nash's approach for building Canada's profile reflects what's defined his 17-year NBA career, which has entailed two league MVPs and becoming the fifth player in NBA history to dole out at least 10,000 assists. Nash has empowered those around him.
He hired Jay Triano, who coached him in the 2000 Games. Nash hosted a week-long camp in Toronto in August when an estimated 30 prospects attended. Members of the 2000 Olympic team shared their experiences and participated in the drills. Nash delegates day-to-day operations to assistant general manager Rowan Barrett while keeping a constant dialogue with Canadian prospects during the season.
According to Canadian basketball's chief executive officer, Wayne Parrish, Nash's arrival improved fundraising efforts that enhanced their operating budget from $300,000 in 2012 to $1 million this year.
"I don't think all of that happens unless Steve is asking for it," Triano said. "Not to take away from the people out there to do it, but the fact Steve is on board makes it more enticing."
After all, Canadian and Lakers reserve center Robert Sacre likened Nash as "the Michael Jordan of Canada" for various reasons.
Nash has self-named youth camps and fitness centers all over Canada. Jenny Miller, the executive director of Nash's foundation, said he pays the entire $120,000 operating budget so entire donations go toward underserved children. One of those initiatives titled BC Grants has raised $800,000 for kids in his hometown province of British Columbia.
The various contributions earned him the Order of Canada in 2007, the country's highest civilian honor. A year later, Nash received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.
Nash's impact goes beyond parlaying his senior year at St. Michaels in Victoria, British Columbia, into a scholarship with Santa Clara and a storied NBA career.
"It's the most staggering athletic accomplishment by a Canadian all time," said Ian Hyde-Lay, Nash's high school coach. "To go from Victoria, B.C. to a two-time NBA MVP and eight-time All-Star with 10,000 assists on top of being the consummate team player, I don't think there is any story in Canadian sport history that's more remarkable."
Nash maintains he's not surprised.
"When I played against good players, I knew I was good enough," Nash said.
"It was just a matter of getting exposure."
That exposure peaked when he began playing for the Canadian national team in 1993 as a freshman at Santa Clara. Nash sounded determined to carve a similar path for other Canadian players. He envisioned the NBA featuring 15 active Canadian players in four years, coinciding with the national team making an appearance in the 2016 Olympics.
A significant litmus test happens in September during qualifying games in Venezuela for the 2014 World Championships.
Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson, who's with the Canadian basketball program, attributed Nash's presence to instilling more confidence.
"If you're seeing he's able to accomplish all of these goals," Thompson said, "you believe you have a chance."
Nash gave his teammates that feeling in the 2000 Sydney Games, where Canada went 5-2 before falling in the quarterfinals to France.
"Steve immediately changed the mental focus of our team with his toughness and positive mindset," said Pete Guarasci, a member of the 2000 Canadian team. "If he can take a bunch of scrubs like us and lead us to that kind of record, who knows what else he can do?"
Nash hardly viewed his teammates that way.
"Those are great guys," he said. "Pete, I'll take him on any team. Tough as nails. Smart. He's a leader in his own right.
"When you're playing with a bunch of guys like that, that are unselfish and know their roles, it's easy to sacrifice."
Nash backed up those words.
As soon as the team boarded its flight to Sydney, Nash declined his first-class ticket and sat with teammates in coach. They carried that bond into the Olympic Village, which often entailed guitar sessions and playing "Risk," the board game.
Before the Games started, Nash approached Triano with a request.
"He said to me, `Coach, I know these guys are amateurs and I have more money than I know what to do with,' " Triano said. "`I want them to enjoy their Olympic experience. I'm going to have some money given to you.' "
Triano then passed out the unspecified amount to Nash's teammates.
"That's good team bonding," Nash said with a smile. "I gave them money because we sacrifice a lot of our time and those guys weren't making much money. I wanted to show I appreciate them for sacrificing so much."
Nash also expressed his appreciation for teammates after Canada's 68-63 quarterfinal loss to France by blaming himself.
"I didn't have a great game," said Nash, who committed nine turnovers, including one on the last possession. "I knew I had to play well for us to advance. It was tough."
Teammates disagreed.
"If Steve doesn't perform the way he did in the Olympics, we wouldn't even be close in getting to a medal round," said Rowan Barrett, who played on the 2000 Canadian team and currently serves as the organization's assistant general manager.
"He has nothing to be ashamed of and shouldn't feel like he let anyone down."
Nash hardly believes he let Toronto down by choosing the Lakers. Those close to him indicate his ongoing involvement with Canadian basketball reveals everything about his devotion to his native country.
"It's important to be yourself," Nash said. "If people believe in your motives and think you're authentic, then they'll trust you."

Wow, is eveyone this hellbent on having Nintendo release their games for iOS? I see at least one "Nintendo on iOS?" article a month around the internet.
Apple is giving companies a run for their money, but are they directly affecting Nintendo's profits? Absolutely not. People still want that tactile feedback, so they're going to want something with gusto. The (3)DS(i) and PSP/Vita are excellent platforms for gamers, because they have the actual buttons. You can't be fiddling around with a touchscreen to make quick, complex button presses for games.
The home consoles - Xbox, PS3 and Wii - have a HUGE installed base collectively, and home consoles remain incredibly popular. Nintendo has a poor financial outlook and announced a huge loss simply because the Wii isn't printing money like it used to (Wii U, anyone?) and the 3DS is a terrible platform; launched at a ridiculous price, absolutely no games save for remakes, and the only thing "new" that's coming out before the year's end is Mario. They have cancelled games left and right on the system because of a poor adoption rate (ex. Ubisoft took AC: Lost Legacy and essentially fused it into Revelations).
Asking Nintendo to put their games on iOS is like asking Apple to put their OSes on platforms other than their own. They don't want to do it, they keep the moniez all their own, and the only way to get it on other platforms is through means that the companies hate (R4 chips and OSX86-ing, respectively).
Well you can always get the emulators. Those seem to work pretty good.
Perhaps Mr. Bouchard would care to explain on what these "facts" are based? My own research yields the following:
1. Sure, a brand new iPhone 4S starts at $199 and an iPhone 4 starts at $149, however, thse figures are completely bogus because, as we all know, those prices require a 2-year contract with a large mobile carrier:
- iPhone 4S 16GB - $199 w/ 2-year contract
- 450 Minutes Talk - $39.99/mo (MINIMUM)
- 200MB Data - $15/mo (MINIMUM)
- Total cost of ownership: $1,518.76
- iPhone 4S 16GB - $199 w/ 2-year contract
- 450 Minutes Talk - $39.99/mo (MINIMUM)
- 2GB Data - $30/mo (MINIMUM)
- Total cost of ownership: $1,878.76
- iPhone 4S 16GB - $199
- 450 Minutes Talk & Unlimited Data - $69.99/mo (MINIMUM)
- "Premium Data" - $10/mo (REQUIRED)
- Total cost of ownership: $2,118.76
And before you think of replying with "but you could buy an iPhone 4 for $149 or an iPhone 3GS for $99", be prepared for a response of "and I could buy a Nintendo DSi or a DS as well."
2. If "No one wanted to buy $30+ game cartridges anymore," please explain how Nintendo manages to sell any games at all. I can find at least 10 people locally whom have all purchased at least 1 Nintendo game cartridge within the last 3 months and many that have purchased more than 1.
I'm sure there might be an actual fact somewhere in this article, but right from the get-go, the "facts" are nothing but bogus drivel. I won't argue that iOS is certainly affecting the profits of portable console makers. However, this article has absolutely no merit in my opinion.
This article is YET another example of the sensationalist "reporting" that has become nearly 100% the standard at ModMyI. Granted, there are some good articles posted by some "editors", but 9 out of 10 are simply not worth reading. I only stick around because I hope that someday somebody will finally fix this problem.
Nintendo acting like Verizon did where did it get Verizon when Apple ask them to take on the iPhone?
If Super Mario came out I would buy it the minute it was released.
Article is about iOS devices. Not iPhone exclusively. You should have read on. Besides, the device (iPhone 4) itself costs $199. The data that you pay on the side is paid to AT&T. That isn't correlated to paying for the iPhone. You can cancel your service if you want, and you'll still own the iPhone 4 for just $199.
Is it unreasonable to ask that you do a little research and proper editing before posting an "article"? I don't think so, and no "reasonable" person would disagree.
No further comments.
Go buy a 3DS. You own it NOW for the price you paid. Not in 2 years. Not after getting charged $350+ for breaking contract early. NOW.
Your closing,"No further comments." may possibly be the best advice you could give yourself, because the more you try to defend your blindingly obvious lack of reporting skills, the worse you look. I, on the other hand, will refrain from responding to you any further as I've lost interest in parading your ignorance. I think I've proven my point rather well. No sense in kicking a dead horse.
Please, ModMyI, fire this guy. You might win back some of the audience you've lost thanks to ignorance such as his.
When an article is written you have to state the fact (numbers, resources, etc) compare and let us make a desicion. The article clearly has a one sided bias to it.
Don't write just to write, I also use to come here often and read the news, but it got to the point where I notice that the noobs where writing/fabricating news.
Yes! Nintendo should definately port games to iDevices. Zelda Four Swords Anniversary Edition would be 20 times more playable on iOS devices because just about everyone has one. I can also see the Mario games being on iOS. Like Super Mario 64. Instead, call it Super Mario iOS, or Super Mario i.

Dear FOS11 Member,
Families of September 11 (FOS11), in partnership with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and The Camilla Group (TCG) had its first speaking event in DC this week. As a reminder, there will be another opportunity coming up next week in Miami, FL on May 9th. We invite you to join us and participate in this program.
The program allows volunteers to speak to Transportation Security Officers (TSO's) at their local airport alongside FOS11 Board Member, Carie Lemack. This is your opportunity to get involved in a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of thorough and consistent security checks. You will have the unique opportunity to visit with screeners, express solidarity, empower yourself and share your story.
This program will engage volunteers nationwide and will allow you to:
Don Goodrich, FOS11 Board member, provides the following account of his experience speaking to TSO's in Vermont .
It is all too easy to reflect on what might have been – to imagine every possible thing that might have saved the lives lost on September 11, 2001. It is harder to confront the enormous challenges faced by Transportation Security Officers as they work 24 hours a day 7 days a week to prevent more lost lives. Last May Carie Lemack and I participated in a presentation/exchange with the officers at the Burlington (VT) International Airport . It was an empowering experience to learn what is really happening as passengers prepare to board their plans, get a better understanding of the frustrations of the officers screening them and join with them to help improve safety at our airports. It is out of this type dialogue that the resolve of the officers, the policies of their managers and the safety of our airports will improve and I am glad I had a part in it.--Don Goodrich, Father of Peter Goodrich, who died on United Airlines Flight 175
If you decide to volunteer, you will work closely with the FOS11 staff. They will assist your preparation for the event and offer talking points and training to help you tell your story. Please let us know if you are interested in becoming a volunteer by emailing email@example.com.
Thank you for considering this opportunity – we hope you will volunteer a few hours of your time to make a big difference in the security of an airport near you.
If this message has been sent to you by a friend - FOS11 membership is free. Visit our website to become a member and learn more about what we do.

But the duty was entrusted to Sir charles napier, with full political as well as military powers.
Sir charles napier had resolved to make the battle a decisive one.
charles napier supported him with might and main, and his comments on the election are curious.
But in 1811 promotion withdrew charles napier from the Peninsula.
"The most curious case of that sort was Sir charles napier," said the major.
This was in the year 1803, and in 1804 charles napier is back in England again.
In the early part of his life he served as a seaman in the navy, and was present at several engagements under Sir charles napier.
I saw Sir charles napier, too, and dined with him last week.
Sir charles napier's answer to this lame argument was to the point.
Sir charles napier determined to strike for this point with a small force, capable of speedily traversing the desert.

GOP Realizes Impeaching Obama Is Impossible, Votes to Sue Him Instead
By a vote of 225 to 201 almost entirely along party lines, the House of Representatives voted Wednesday to proceed with a lawsuit against Obama for "overstepp[ing] his constitutional authority" as president and failing to undertake his duties under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Every Democrat present voted against the lawsuit, as did five Republicans. The lawsuit, which is likely to be thrown out of federal court on procedural grounds, focuses particularly on Obama's decision to delay the employer mandate in the Affordable Care Act.
The lawsuit comes as many conservatives have urged House Republicans to begin impeachment proceedings against Obama. Indeed, all five Republicans who voted against the lawsuit, including Paul Broun of Georgia and Steve Stockman of Texas, did so because they believe impeachment is more appropriate. While these calls have been limited mainly to marginal figures on the right such as former reality television star Sarah Palin, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise refused to rule it out in a television appearance Sunday.
House Speaker John Boehner and many other leading members of the GOP, however, have opposed the possibility of impeachment, calling it a political misstep. The lawsuit is viewed as an alternative that would appease the GOP's base without alienating more moderate voters. In 1998, the failed Republican attempt to remove President Clinton from office redounded to the political benefit of Democrats. Impeachment proceedings likely would have the same effect this time, especially with the success that Democratic campaigns have had fundraising off of the specter of impeachment in recent weeks. And with 67 votes required in the Democratic-controlled Senate to convict Obama and remove him from office, successful impeachment proceedings may be impossible. (Even if Obama were somehow removed from office, conservatives probably wouldn't be thrilled at the prospect of a President Biden).

Thus, the "Abacela" idea was to find in America a similar climate to that of the finest Tempranillo growing areas in Spain. The "marginal" climate sought was hot enough to ripen the fruit but not so hot that it cooked out the essence of the grape. A climate which provided dry summers and cool but wet winters, relatively free of severe freezes to minimize potential cold injury to the vines.
Searches through tomes of wine books, climate records, and maps led us to the West Coast. The search ended in the Umpqua Valley in Southern Oregon, 11 miles southwest of Roseburg Oregon. Here, the vineyards bask by day in the hot summer sun and are cooled at night by Pacific Ocean breezes. The long growing season allows the fruit to ripen slowly and fully. Our Abacela idea, now a working winery, was christened Abacela, utilizing an old Castilian word that means "to plant grapevines." View all Abacela Wines
About Umpqua ValleyView a map of Umpqua Valley wineries
The Umpqua Valley is much smaller than its northern neighbor, the Willamette Valley. Not necessarily in size, but in wine production. Like the Willamette Valley, the region lies between the Coast Range and the Cascade Range. The Umpqua Valley is a little bit drier than the Willamette, but less dry than the Rogue Valley.

Ratings for Dr. Stuart Demirs
Excelent doctor, great with babies, kind and knowlegable spends quality time with pt
Dr. Demirs and his staff have always been excellent for my children. They have been as flexible as possible in fitting in children with urgent needs, and patient when I need yet another camp form filled out. I recommend Dr. Demirs highly!!
Dr. DeMirs is very knowledgeable in family practice medicine. Very patient and follows ups with reviews and appointments. Takes the extra time to explain test results and options.
Dr. Demirs is a great doctor! He is truely concerned about you as a person. If he isn't sure about something, he will say I'm not sure, let me find out. Me, my husband and 2 little girls all have Dr. Demirs as our primary physician. If you call and say my daughter is sick or can you see me...he ALWAYS fits you in. He and his awesome staff are always there to help. We wouldn't see anyone else!!!
I have been seeing Dr. Demirs for several years and am extremely happy with his knowledge, attentiveness and approach. He is thoughtful and really listens. I am usually pretty critical of Dr's and have nothing but good things to say for Dr. Demirs. I have and would continue to recommend him to anyone I know.
He has been our family doctor for many years. He is a wonderful man, very competent doctor and his staff is terrific. He got up from left a holiday dinner to met us at the hospital when my husband was very sick. He saved his life. My children, who are now adults, trust him and confide in him. We are lucky to be counted as his patients. Many of my coworkers and their families go to his practice. We all love Stu and his office family.
In this day and age when large medical establishments try to push you through the system as fast as they can, Dr. Demirs is a refreshing exception to the rule because he actually sits down and listens to all your health concerns. He has always provided a reasonable solution to my health problems and he never tries to over-medicate (e.g., he won't give you antibiotics if what you have is a cold). In response to the one negative posting made... the problems encountered may be more a result of a single incompetent staff member rather than incompetence from Dr. Demirs himself.
Great doctor. As a senior citizen, I have a few health problems. Dr. Demirs has always correctly diagnosed my issues and explained when they would clear up. Very pleased the medical service he provides.
nOT A GOOD dR. nOT RESPONSIVE, UNORGANIZED, AND FOR THE MOST PART DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING. hE LIED ABOUT CALLING MY WIFE WITH TEST RESULTS, DID NOT MAKE APPOINTMENTS FOR TEST i SHOWED UP FOR AT 7 AM AT OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL. DID NOT PROVIDE SPECIALIST WITH MY RECORDS, HAD TO FAX THEM TO HIM WHILE I SAT AND WAITED IN THE SPECIALIST'S OFFICE. BAB, BAD, BAD
Dr. Demirs is someoone I would highly recommend!! His office is always clean. His staff is always polite and punctual. He listens to your complaints and he has a wit. Very friendly.

Hey guys!
Years ago I found that kinda nice book about Database Hacking called The Database Hacker's Handbook: Defending Database Servers
I have read through it and found some quite interesting stuff, but since the book is released in 2005, the information is kinda odd nowadays. So I am searching for an (e)book just like this one.
Any ideas about that? Thanks in advance

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in any areas where there are inadequate hospital beds and health facilities available to serve the non-Indian population, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized in his discretion to make available to non-Indians, hospital and health facilities operated by the Indian Bureau which are not being utilized for Indians, at such fees and under such terms and conditions as he may prescribe: Provided, That the fees charged will not be less than the per diem cost per patient of operating and maintaining the hospital or the health activity.
Whenever the health needs of the Indians can be better met thereby, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized in his discretion to enter into contracts with any State, Territory, or political subdivision thereof, or any appropriate Federal, State, Territory, or political subdivision thereof, or provide nonprofit corporation, agency, or institution providing for the transfer by the Indian Bureau of Indian hospitals or other health facilities, including initial operating equipment and supplies. It shall be a condition of each such transfer that all facilities transferred shall be available to meet the health needs of the Indians and that such health needs shall be given priority over those of the non-Indian population. No hospital or health facility that has been constructed or maintained for a specific tribe of Indians, or for a specific group of tribes, shall be transferred to a non-Indian entity or organization under this section unless such action has been approved by the governing body of the tribe, or by the governing bodies of a majority of the tribes, for which such hospital or health facility has been constructed or maintained.

I am doing a network of tourism sites and was hoping there would be some places to get auto content.
I have added a few blogs to test but to be honest, the content doesn't help, just a line or 2 and linking to the site / blog.
I have a few people working on content articles but I would like to keep this more of an automated site to run in the background.
Thanks for any help!
I would have to say probably the best answer for you would be using WP robot if your going WordPress based. Granted the program does have a cost but if you are building a series of sites it would definitely pay for itself. Basically all you have to do for set up is create campaigns for auto blogging and hone down the article results with keywords. I don't think it gets any easier in my experience.
I agree with Amish, auto blogging is a good way to get contents. But I think first you should get some guest bloggers who already have loyal readers, this will attract other traveler to write for your site. But everything that is free usually doesn't come with good quality, including writing materials.
I believe you mean that auto blogging is a great way to steal other people's content and pass it off as your own.
Although WP Robot may have some merits, their translate/rewrite section suggests plagiarism and that is something we will not be recommending in this forum. It would be ridiculous to spend money on a program and use it to publish content that results in you spending more money in a court of law.
This forum is dedicated to helping web owners learn how to acquire original content. Any further posts that suggest otherwise will be deleted and dealt with accordingly.
Have you tried opening your site for guest posts? You could ask your people there who are making content to moderate the posts, or something. I know you haven't really made it that big yet, but that's nothing that social media and some interactions with the other people in your industry can't accomplish.
... It's not a completely automated method, though. Even so, I do hope this can help.
User comments tend to work well eg: rate this bar/ restaurant/hotel (Spammers will be a problem but they are predictable and can be auto removed)Events & gig calenders can be pooled from several sources. Some of the larger bars and hotel chains even have twitter and facebook feeds that could be grabbed server side

Picture this: It's been one week since the conference, and that promising potential client you encountered there is minutes away from meeting with you on your turf. The last time this happened with a different prospect, you had to ask him what he would like from Starbucks beforehand, then rush out to pick it up and arrive back to the office breathless, just seconds before your would-be customer walked in the door. Still out of breath, you shoved the cup towards him and blurted, "Here you go." It was already cold, and he wasn't impressed.
Now, the Alternative: Personalized Mugs, Travel Mugs and Steins
But this time, you know better. You decided you would never let that happen again, and you found a solution: imprinted mugs, travel mugs and steins from a reliable promotional products maker. Using their convenient, easily navigable website, you invested in a few dozen.
What does this drinkware look like? For prospects who maintain their own offices, you looked at glass mugs, ceramic mugs and bistro mugs before settling on a style and color you liked – imprinted with your company logo, of course. It's perfect for the professional who needs a mug to keep at work, and it reminds him of your business every time he uses it.
For prospects that spend much of their time on the road, you browsed through the selection of travel mugs and travel tumblers designed to hold hot or cold beverages. These promotional mugs, travel mugs and steins are also in a color that is conducive to your brand and marked with your company logo. Because this contact is always out and about, lots of other potential prospects will see his mug – and some of them just may ask him about you.
Custom Mugs, Travel Mugs and Steins are Your Drinkware Solution
Congratulations! You found a solution to the customer coffee cup conundrum: imprinted mugs, travel mugs and steins. Yes, steins! Depending on your type of business, they may actually be more suitable than a mug (that's up to you, of course). The important thing is that now, when your prospect walks through the door, you have a custom drinkware solution that will impress him the moment you hand him that personalized cup of liquid gold. And the best part is, when he asks where he should leave his mug, you can smile warmly and say, "It's yours." Whether or not he becomes a client, you won't forget the look on his face. That's what personalized mugs, travel mugs and steins are all about.

text: I have a question for you. Do you think Taylor Swift is a starf**ker? Think about all the people she has dated. There was one normal guy and she split with him and complained about him because his friends tried to be her friend and she thought that was strange and that they just wanted to be her friends because she was a star. She really disliked that whole situation a lot. Let us just go through some of the people. John Mayer. Jake Gyllenhaal. Conor Kennedy. Not really a star, but she loved that whole Kennedy thing. Harry Styles. Singer for one of the hottest bands in the world right now. Can you be a starf**ker if you are already a star? Brandi Glanville called that waitress a starf**ker last night in RHBH, but the waitress was not a star. Is it just expected that if you are a star, then that is all you will date and the expression does not apply to you?

Arthur Chu continues to rack up the wins
(Culver City, CA) - Arthur Chu has proved victorious again. The Broadview Heights resident won for the ninth consecutive night Friday on 'Jeopardy'.
Chu answered the final answer: Dating from 1973, this four letter suffix indicates a person or thing has become associated with public scandal. The question: What is "-gate?"
Chu answered correctly and wagered just $400 on the final question but it was more than enough to hold off his two challengers.
Chu returns to the show to try and win a tenth straight time on March 10. 'Jeopardy' runs a special tournament next week. It airs Monday through Friday at 7:30pm on CBS-19.

Jason Derulo Proposes to Jordin Sparks?! [WATCH]
Are those wedding bells we hear? Jason Derulo has proposed to Jordin Sparks! But don't get too excited, it was just for his new music video Marry Me.
The 24-year-old singer featured his real life leading lady in his new music video going through all of the motions of proposing to the love of his life. Although the proposal was just for the storyline, Derulo revealed that the love song is actually about Jordin! He commented, "it's talking about how amazing it will be when I get down on one knee and it will be the greatest moment of my life."
As sweet as the gesture is, let's hope they don't break up anytime soon…or things could get a bit awkward!

BEFORE YOU READ THIS: I want you to know i am not that familiar with bt4, so please don't get mad for asking a question
Ok, here's my problem/ question 1: i have BT4-Final on vmware, in BT4 i want to install my INTERNAL wifi card(its a "Realtek RTL8191SE wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC"). i have copied the driver files onto a usb-flash drive...and i can't acces the drive in BT4 my only options are: disconnect, change icon, hide icon... how do i get this done?
i also tried:
because in vmware there is the option to edit virtual machine settings and to add network cards... i made 2 test connections: 1 a bridged connection and 2 a nat connection. the bridged connection goes via my wireless card onto my wireless network, so BT4 thinks that its connected via a wire and that there isn't any wifi. 2: the Nat connection simply doesn't see any wifi, i used programm: 'wicd network manager'. to see what was goeing on...
question 2 : then i considerd a usb wifi-card but i wan't to know: do i need a usb-wifi-card that doesn't require a cd for the driver-install???
i appreciate that you have read this far already and I really appreciate ANY awnsers...
i hope someone could help me out here.

PSWA Dinner Homepage
PHILADELPHIA - Senior Brandon Copeland, who served as Penn Football's first sole captain since 1997, and head coach Al Bagnoli, who guided the University of Pennsylvania football team to its ninth Ivy title under his tenure, were honored at the 109th annual Philadelphia Sports Writers Association (PSWA) Awards Dinner Monday night in Cherry Hill, N.J.
Copeland and Bagnoli were joined by fellow honorees Cole Hamels (Philadelphia Phillies), Jimmy Rollins (Philadelphia Phillies), Mike Trout (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) and Todd Herremans (Philadelphia Eagles).
Bagnoli was honored with a Special Achievement Award. In 2012, Penn clinched the Ivy League title with four straight last-minute victories. The Quakers beat Brown with a late game-winning field goal, stopped Princeton on third-and-goal in the final seconds, topped Ivy-favorite Harvard on Senior Day and, with a backup quarterback making his first career start, scored the game-winning touchdown with 1:00 left at Cornell. It was the program's 16th Ivy title (second-most all-time), 13th outright title (league record), and Coach Bagnoli's ninth title overall (one behind the all-time record) and ninth outright (league record).Just the second player to serve as sole captain of the Penn Football team over the past 35 years, Copeland was a first-team All-Ivy selection in 2012. It was his third first-team All-Ivy honor en route to his third outright Ivy League title as a member of the Red and Blue. A three-year starter on Penn's defensive line, Copeland matched a career-high with 51 tackles and led the Quakers with a career-best 5.0 sacks. He finished his illustrious career at Penn with 160 tackles, 11.0 sacks, 26.5 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, an interception, a blocked kick, a touchdown and a safety.
Made up of the most prominent media members in the Philadelphia area, the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association was founded on May 12, 1904, and the first of what would become an annual Awards Dinner was held Feb. 15, 1905.

small belly @ 7 mos
I think I have a small bump compared to other women who are currently pregnant. This is my first pregnancy and I wanna know if this is completely normal. Others say my baby will grow at this time of the month. How true? Im taking my prenatal vitamins regularly but I don't drink milk much. Will it suppress my baby's growth? I need ideas. Thanks.

Hi iyah80,
Every woman is different when it comes to how much weight they gain and how much they "show". A woman with her first pregnancy will typically be much smaller in size (and the way she looks) than a woman with her 2nd or 3rd pregnancy. The reason is because a woman in her first pregnancy will have tighter abdominal muscles. A woman who has already given birth will typically have looser stomach muscles so she will show sooner in her pregnancy.
Your baby is going to start putting on a lot of weight in the next couple of months. In the last 4 weeks, baby typically gains about 1/2 pound each week. Add more blood flow, more amniotic fluid and a larger placenta and you'll notice quite a bit of weight gain.
If you want to add more weight, then be sure you are not eating sugar (sugar makes you less hungry and offers little nutrition), eat more nuts and seeds, avocado (good fats), eggs, high quality animal protein and plenty of vegetables and fruit. You don't have to have much dairy (if any) in your diet, as long as you are getting enough calories from high quality fats like avocado, nuts, seeds and animal protein.
You can slather your steamed vegetables with butter (no margarine), eat a big green salad with plenty of nuts, seeds and avocado - coconut is a good fat too, and make green smoothies to drink each day, which will pack the nutrients in to help your baby grow.
Warm Regards,
Is the doctor concerned about your weight gain?

hi kate,
Thanks for the reply. That completely answers my question.
I think my doctor agrees with my weight. he didn't give me feedback about it.

Fox News' political analyst "secretly plot[ting] vast network to reclaim power" for GOP
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
This morning, Politico's Mike Allen and Ken Vogel provide more detail on what should be considered an ethical crisis for Fox News:
The Republican Party's best-connected political operatives have quietly built a massive fundraising, organizing and advertising machine based on the model assembled by Democrats early in the decade, and with the same ambitious goal - to recapture Congress and the White House.
The new groups could give Republicans and their allies a powerful campaign apparatus separate from the Republican National Committee. Karl Rove, political architect of the Bush presidency, and Ed Gillespie, former Republican Party chairman, are the most prominent forces behind what is, in effect, a network of five overlapping groups, three of which were started in the past few months.
The operating assumption of Rove, Gillespie and the other organizers is that despite the historical dominance of Republican fundraising and organizing, the GOP has been outmaneuvered by Democrats and their allies in recent years, and it is time to strike back.
As I've noted, Fox News typically presents Rove as an impartial "political analyst," appearing unrebutted by a Democratic strategist to present what he claims are the facts about the political impact of legislation and events. Now, he'll also be able to use that position to push the candidates, themes, and ideas that are being promoted by the network of groups with whom he is working.
And given Fox News' past record in this area, we can assume that his ties to the group won't be disclosed on-air.
As far as I can tell, Fox News has yet to address Rove's work with the group, or publicly disclose any sort of safeguards that the network is putting in place to ensure that he isn't just channeling the campaign apparatus' work on their airwaves. Perhaps there should be some sort of memo...

description: A modern marvel of engineering, the invention of the space shuttle changed America's space program forever. Take a journey through the incredible science of aerospace engineering and the shuttle's history.

transcript:
For over two decades the space shuttle has been the flagship of America’s space program. From its home base in Cape Canaveral, Florida…A fleet of shuttles has carried mankind into space. Aboard these orbiting craft crews test new technologies, conduct research and launch and repair orbiting satellites and other craft.
The space shuttle is an engineering marvel. And it marked a change in America’s space program, replacing rockets with a plane-like, reusable orbiter…That glides home for a landing.
Getting the shuttle into orbit requires a lot of power. Twin booster rockets burn solid fuel and create 7 million pounds of thrust, together with the shuttle’s main engines…
Propelling the ship to the heavens at over 17,000 miles an hour.
The space shuttle Columbia was the first to liftoff on April 12, 1981, successfully putting the spacecraft through its paces. From there, missions rapidly grew in scope, and crews expanded to include people from all walks of life.
In 1983 Sally Ride became the first American woman in space… and Guion Bluford, the first African American.
Inside the shuttle’s ESA Spacelab module an array of scientific experiments have been conducted by payload and mission specialists. In extremely low gravity, they have extended our knowledge into the effects of space flight on the human body, the creation of new metals and alloys, and solar phenomenon.
Over the years the spacecrafts have been work horses, taking satellites and other valuable payload into orbit. In 1990 space shuttle Discovery launched the Hubble Space Telescope which ushered in a new era of space imaging and astronomical research.
Astronauts have also worked outside the shuttle using a robotic arm and even performing space walks to make repairs, like replacing Hubble’s faulty mirror. And the shuttle aided in the construction of the International Space Station, ferrying modules into space.
But the triumph of the shuttle program hasn’t been without its own share of tragedy.
In 1986 the orbiter Challenger met an untimely end, exploding 73 seconds after liftoff.
Aboard the craft was Christa McAuliffe, a high-school teacher and the first private citizen sent into space as part of the U.S. space program.
The shuttle program again met with disaster in 2003, when the shuttle Columbia burned up on re-entry, losing a crew of seven.
Since then NASA has taken steps to ensure the safety and viability of the shuttle program. After a two and a half year hiatus, the shuttle program returned to space with the orbiter Discovery…and today continues its commitment to space exploration.

Three economic reports present conflicting, but somewhat dismal, pictures of the state of small business employment in July. The reports, issued by the National Federation of Independent Business, Intuit and SurePayroll Inc., paint portraits of small businesses struggling to find their footing in an improving but still fragile economy.
According to the NFIB survey, the nation's smallest firms cut staffs slightly last month. The decrease of 0.11% represents the second straight month that small businesses trimmed workforces after half a year of flat or modestly increased hiring.
The second report, issued by accounting software giant Inuit, showed a modest employment increase of just 0.17% in its Small Business Employment and Revenue Indexes, for an annualized growth rate of 2.1%. This equates to approximately 35,000 new jobs created for the month of July, Intuit explained.
"This month's indexes indicate a mixed bag for small businesses," said Susan Woodward, the economist who worked with Intuit to create and analyze the survey. "Revenues have been declining for two months now, so the weak employment growth rate for July is not a surprise."
In a third recent report, SurePayroll Inc. shows hiring flat and the average paycheck down 0.2%. According to its findings, hiring was down month-over-month in every region except the South, where it was up 0.2%. Paychecks were up month-over-month in the Midwest (0.2%) and down across the rest of the nation.
"Small business owners are optimistic by nature, and they know that if you have a good idea, you can take advantage of the lower costs in this economy and be successful," said SurePayroll president and chief executive Michael Alter. "Still, we need more incentives for investors to back startups and less tax burden on small businesses."
Taken together, the three surveys indicate a stalled economy, at least in the small-business sector. And since small businesses are generally seen as a significant driver of the U.S. economy, the numbers appear consistent with other employment surveys that include businesses of all sizes.

"I made this at our Mexican dinner in May, and my kids and husband are still requesting it. I actually screwed up and forgot to bring sugar with me - so I made this recipe without it - but I don't feel like we were missing anything - it was very refreshing & tasty without the sugar. Also, since we ran out so fast, I threw a 2nd batch together using just a mixture of ice cubes & water instead of freezing the whole thing - was wonderful as sort of a 'punch' as well."
