PHILADELPHIA – PENN Medicine announced today the creation of the Clyde F. Barker Transplant House, a "home away from home" designed to help ease the unique economic and emotional stresses of transplant families. Modeled after the Ronald McDonald Houses and named for the physician who performed the first kidney transplant at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in 1966, the Barker Transplant House will be located at 3930 Spruce Street on Penn's campus and will offer comfortable, convenient accommodations in a supportive community setting - all at a nominal cost.
Organ Transplantation: It's a Family Affair
Organ transplantation is one of medicine's true, life-saving miracles. After five decades of innovation, Penn remains a leader in transplant discoveries and technology, performing over 400 organ transplants annually. But for many patients and their families, receiving the good news of a life-saving organ match also causes anxiety. Transplant candidates are often disabled for years, which hinders – if not completely stops – their earning ability. Growing sicker and weaker while awaiting a compatible donor organ, patients often become totally dependent on spouses and family members who, in addition to being their sole means of financial support, become their round-the-clock caregivers.
Over one-third of Penn's transplant patients must travel more than 50 miles for their surgery - some coming from as far as New England, the Carolinas, Ohio, and beyond. All too often, the joy of receiving a compatible organ is tempered by the harsh reality of extended hospital visits for the patient and pricey travel expenses for the family. And such challenges are not short-term. Following transplantation, organ recipients must return repeatedly for follow-up care - as often as 50 times during the first two years post-surgery. For loved ones, the full transplantation experience adds up to a mountain of non-reimbursable hotel, transportation and meal expenses – at a time when emotions and finances are already stretched to a breaking point. The Barker Transplant House will help ease theses emotional and economic burdens by providing an affordable, convenience and comfortable accommodations.
"We're honored to share such an important milestone in care for our transplant patient and their families," said Abraham Shaked, MD, director of the Penn Transplant Center and chief of the Division of Transplant Surgery. "The Barker Transplant House represents the reality that patient care extends beyond our hospitals walls in addition to our continued commitment to improve the patient experience."
"We're so pleased to be able dedicate Penn's Transplant House in the name of our own legendary surgeon Dr. Clyde Barker," said Ralph W. Muller, chief executive officer of Penn's Health System. "Thanks to his many years of hard work and dedication, Dr. Barker has built our clinical transplant service into the largest and most successful program in the region. And he continues to be an exemplary mentor and role model for new generations of surgeons."
The Barker Transplant house, located blocks from HUP, will be staffed around the clock and offer 24-hour shuttle service to the HUP. This "home away from home" for patient's family offers many comforts and modern amenities, including: furnished bedrooms, a family meeting room, dining area, communal kitchen with modern facilities, a laundry room, and computers with Internal access. There sill also be a telephone liaison to the transplant floor of the hospital and family education center in the house.
In addition to easing the logistical and financial burdens facing transplant families, the Barker House will provide important opportunities for peer support. "All transplant patients feel a sense of uncertainty," said Richard Leighton, a liver transplant recipient and chair of the Transplant House Committee. "The Transplant House will provide a much-needed physical space for patients and their families to share experiences and exchange information. It is a tremendous benefit – and comfort – to everyone."
Penn's Board of Women Visitors, who gave the naming gift for the Barker Transplant House, the Philadelphia Antiques Show Committee, and donations from throughout the entire transplant community are funding the $2 million project.
The Barker Transplant House will be designed by Rafael Vinoly, who also designed Penn's new Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine, and constructed by L.F. Driscoll Company.

Interesting questions to which I don't know the answers.
In regards to profit, perhaps if such an organisation could raise money in some way other than levying charges on clubs (thereby remaining independant)... Since one wants a governing body to be independant otherwise theres no point in having one, but if it is democratic then by definition it is not independant.
And I am now way out of my depth...
I find the topic interesting though, I'd love to know what you would do if the task of forming a federation fell upon your shoulders?

Samuel L. Jackson slams President Obama
Samuel L. Jackson cut straight to the point in a recent interview and boldly told President Obama "be f–king presidential."
The actor recently gave a candid interview to Playboy. The discussion opened with talk of his new movie with Spike Lee, "Oldboy," and then turned to him ranting about the butchering of the English language and grammar in today's society. Jackson says he sees people on Twitter who don't even know the difference between "your" and "you're." (To which the actor asked: "How the f–k did we become a society where mediocrity is acceptable?")
The writer then mentioned that even highly educated people, including Barack Obama, consciously drop g's from words in order to sound more hip and colloquial.
"First of all, we know it ain't because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to 'relate,'" Jackson replied while chatting with the men's magazine in West Hollywood. "Be a leader. Be f–king presidential."
"Look, I grew up in a society where I could say 'It ain't' or 'What it be' to my friends. But when I'm out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family who cared about me, who has a well-read background, I fucking conjugate."
The off-the-chain actor then addressed comments he made last year to Ebony magazine, saying he hopes "Obama gets scary in the next four years." Alas, he doesn't think much has changed since then, due to the political deadlock in Washington.
"He got a little heated about the kids getting killed in Newtown and about the gun law," he told Playboy. "He's still a safe dude. But with those Republicans, we're now in a situation where even if he said, 'I want to give you motherf–kers a raise,' they'd go, 'F–k you! We don't want a raise!' … How do we fix the fact that politicians aren't trying to serve the people, they're just trying to serve their party and their closed ideals?"
Whoa! Okay Sam. Tell us how you really feel.

One of the more common concerns we hear is that because the bass in our systems is being reproduced by a mono subwoofer, the user fears that they may be able to perceive it as a separate, locatable source. This is actually not the case and in a correctly designed 2.1 system using proper bass-management it should not be an issue at all.

Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
"Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
After hearing you guys talk about him I'm on the Mosley train also. RayRay is likely done, god I hope they back the brinks truck up to keep him on as a coach I don't care what it takes!
But the problem is, where are we going to be picking? And not only that but their are so many holes that we need high calibr talent at because we've slacked or missed in area's.
Sure we could go Mosley, tag Reed and hope to nail his replacement in the 1st round next year, so thats a quick and most logcal bandaid for now. But we need a DE pretty badly also, a 3-4 DE that can get to the QB opposite Ngata and to releieve th prssure off Suggs. Upshaw looks to be solid at OLB and will certainly improve hispass rushing but lets be honest he's prob not going to command the kind of attention we need, or should say Suggs and Ngata need.
BUT the biggest thing is, do we trade up in the first and go after a legit impact first round caliber wide reciever to compliment Torrey?
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
There will be some safeties available in rounds 2-4.
Eric Reid, TJ McDonald, Tony Jefferson, Baccari Rambo, Shawn Williams, Brandon Bishop...we could pick up Mosley in round 1 and still look at picking up a solid rookie safety in round 2 or 3.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the DefenseDisclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
Excuse the delay with my second round mock draft, been busy with work, and of course looking at film of the Sunday night game.
Second round: (33-47)
33. Jacksonville Jaguars: Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee
The Jags will want to bring in a QB who can compete with Henne and Gabbert and see if Gabbert can actually be pushed into actually playing well and trying to win for this team. I can't see that happening, and I think that Gabbert may be traded away or cut. Henne would likely start and Bray would sit for a season or two being groomed to eventually take over. Tyler Bray is a big QB who has a nice arm, but struggles with accuracy, he needs some time to develop, but could turn into a decent QB in the league.
32. Kansas city chiefs: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
The Chiefs can get Geno his college go to guy with their second pick. Dwayne Bowe won't be back with the team next year, so the Chiefs will have to find a replacement. Tavon Austin is a similar type of player to Antonio Brown, and has put up a ridiculous amount of numbers for West Virginia this season.
33. Carolina Panthers: David Amerson, CB/S, NC State
The Panthers need to continue to address their defense, and have issues in the secondary. David Amerson can play both corner and safety, and is probably best suited to play free safety as he is a big tall and rangy ball hawk. He can also make a solid corner in the NFL if he gets it together, he has been beaten occasionally this year, but he has a huge ceiling and unique size at 6'3.
34. Buffalo Bills: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
The Bills desperately need a down field player as they only have one in Stevie Johnson. If they invest a first round pick in Matt Barkley, they will need to get him some weapons.
35. Cincinnati Bengals (From Oakland): Alec Ogletree, ILB, Gerogia
Rey Mauluga is arguably the worst starting ILB in the league right now and needs to be replaced, he's also a FA, so the Bengals have a big need at LB. Alec Ogletree is a fringe first round talent with a lot of athleticism. He can drop back into coverage, as well as stop the run. He's a big tall and rangy LB, and would be a solid pick for the Bengals here. The Bengals need to get better on defense if they ever want to challenge for the AFC North.
36. Washington Redskins: Tony Jefferson, S, Oklahoma
The Redskis have holes everywhere around their secondary, and even though it may be wise to go for a corner here, I am going for the BPA instead at a position of dire need for the Redskins. Tony Jefferson is a fringe first round talent, but could drop into the second round because of the devaluation of the position he plays. He's been having a really good year with Oklahoma.
37. New York Jets: DJ Fluker, OT, Alabama
The Jets NEED to get back to ground and pound to be a good team again. I think they will give Mark Sanchez one more year to prove himself, especially if Rex Ryan is not fired. It's really not been all Marks fault this year; he literally has zero talent surrounding him. When the Jets where good, they had one of the best Olines in the league who could run block like no one else, that's the type of mentality they need to get back to. DJ Fluker has had his struggles for Bama on the left side this year, but he is still a worthy prospect at RT and is a huge physical player that can fill a desperate need for the Jets.
38. Philadelphia Eagles: TJ Mcdonald, S, USC
The Eagles need to carry on adding players to their secondary; they took an elite prospect at corner in the first round, now it's time to take one of the better safeties in the draft. Philly's safeties have missed more tackles than any safety tandem in the league, TJ Mcdonald could help with that.
39. Tennessee Titans: Dallas Thomas, OG/OT, Tennessee
The Titans need to get better up front, one of the key reasons why they couldn't run the ball through the past season or two, is a lot to do with the ineptitude of their Oline. Dallas Thomas could step in at right guard straight away, and help Chris Johnson out in a big way. Dallas offers great versatility and can cover right tackle, and left tackle in a pinch.
40. Saint Louis Rams: Bennie Logan, DT, LSU
The Rams could get a guy who was Michael Brockers' partner in crime at LSU. They made up for the best interior defensive line in CFB last year, and can be reunited in Saint Louis. The Rams could really solidify their Dline with a pick like this.
41. San Diego Chargers: Da'Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech
One of the main issues with Philip Rivers this year is that he really has nobody to throw to. He needs help from a big tall and fast receiver that Vincent Jacson was. Da'Rick Rogers is a first round pic if it wasn't for his off field issues (ahhh… how often do we hear that?).
42. Dallas Cowboys: Chase Thomas, OLB, Stanford
The Cowboys will not be able to keep Anthony Spencer who is a FA after the season. They already franchised, and didn't appear to be anywhere close to sorting out a long term deal. Chase Thomas could step in and replace Spencer straight away. Thomas can play in both a 4-3, and a 3-4 defensive scheme, at OLB. In a pinch, he could even slide inside to ILB, but his best fit is a 3-4 OLB IMO. He has been having a really good year with Stanford, and could raise his draft stock as the season goes on.
43. Arizona Cardinals: Oday Aboushi, OT, Virginia
The Cardinals have serious issues on the Oline, and desperately need to address it. Oday Aboushi is one of those players that is a natural fit at left tackle. His footwork and ability to play there is off the charts, he is easily the most underrated OT's in this draft. He will need to improve his run blocking, but he has potential to be a day one start at LT for the Cardinals who really have no one else for him to compete with anyway.
44. Detroit Lions: Alex Okafor, DE, Texas
The Lions may be I the same boat as the Cowboys in terms of losing one of their preimium pass rushers through FA. That's why this pick makes sense for them, and we all know how the Lions love drafting Dlinemen. Okafor has been having a solid year with Texas, and could raise his draft stock, but needs to get better in run support.
45. Minnesota Vikings: Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida
The Vikings need help at DT, Kevin Williams is old and needs to be replaced eventually. Sharrif Floyd has been great for Florida this year.
46. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
Don't be surprised if the Bucs double up on corners this year, it really is the biggest weakness out of any team in the NFL for the Bucs. Trufant is another fringe player who could push his stock up to the first round, but has a second round projection for now.
47. Cincinnati Bengals: Matt Elam, S, Florida
Another decent Florida player that has been a stud this year. Matt Elam could address a position of great need for the Bengals, who need to continue to upgrade their defense.
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
Second round (48-60)
48. Miami Dolphins: Jordan Poyer, CB, Oregon State
The Dolphins gave away their best corner to Indi, so they should probably take a corner here to replace him. Poyer is a decent prospect, and is one of the more underrated corners in this draft.
49. Seattle Seahawks: Brennan Williams, OT, North Carolina
The Seahawks have been good up front this year, but need to get a new right tackle, as Breno Giacomini is just awful. Russel Wilson is a QB who will always need good Oline play because of his size. If it wasn't for his injury, Brennan Williams probably would have been a first round pick this year, with the way he was playing.
50. Miami Dolphins (From Indianapolis): Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
The Dolphins traded away Brandon Marshal away before the season, so will need to get more weapons for Tannehill. Patterson has been a really solid number 3 receiver for Tennessee this year, and has good size.
51. Pittsburgh Steelers: Shyane Skov, ILB/OLB, Stanford
The Steelers have a stud in Lawrence Timmons, but they still need an upgrade next to him, Larry Foote is just an average talent. Shayne Skov probably would have been a first round pick if it wasn't for his injury last year. I think he still has time to rise his projection into the first round, he had a great game this week.
52. New York Giants: Gerald Hodges, OLB/ILB, Penn State
The Giants need help at MLB, Chase Blackburn is terrible as a starter. I think that Hodges has major potential as a 4-3 LB in the NFL, he is the typical modern day athletic LB that is a perfect fit for todays league.
53. Green Bay Packers: Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
Zach Ertz could be the potential replacement for Jermichael Finley who will be due 8 million dollars next year. He has totally underwhelmed for the Packers, and there is a good chance he'll be looking for a new team in 2013.
54. New England Patriots: Cobi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas
Despite having a great season, there is a good chance that Welker won't be back with the Patriots next season, so they will have to get another wideout. It's already a need even with Welker on the team. Cobi Hamilton could offer the Patriots something they don't have, a big bodied receiver who has speed.
55. Baltimore Ravens: Bacarri Rambo, S, Georgia
The Ravens have some tough personnel decisions to make at the end of the season. Joe Flacco and Ed Reed's contracts are both up, and both will cost a lot of money, and the Ravens will likely not have much cap room to work with. Ozzie has been good at working out contracts in the past to keep so many good players, but it all depends on how much Ed Reed wants. There is always the possibility of Reed retiring anyway because of his injury and age concerns, so I'd go with his replacement in who I think may be the best safety in this draft class if it wasn't for his off the field issues.
56. Chicago Bears: Jonathan Cooper, OG, North Carolina
The Bears need help on the Oline, there can be nothing more said about that. Cooper is the best guard available at this point.
57. Houston Texans: Margus Hunt, DE/DT, SMU
Margus Hunt will be a developmental player, but with a huge ceiling. The 6'7 DE is raw but would be a perfect fit for that attacking 3-4 defense that the Texans run. Imagine him and JJ Watt at both ends batting passes down with that combined height, yikes! Antonio Smith is a great player, but he will be a FA in 2014, so you may as well draft his eventual replacement sooner or later.
58. San Francisco 49ers: Travis Frederick, OC/OG, Wisconsin
This is purely a depth singing and someone the 49ers can groom into their future starting center. The 49ers are built around their strength in the trenches on both sides of the ball, so this pick makes sense for them. Goodwin is a decent center, but he'll be 34 next season and a FA in 2014. Travis Frederick is a huge inside lineman who could take over from Goodwin eventually. Frederick lacks ideal mobility of an NFL center, but he's a good fit for the inside power scheme that the 9ers run up front.
59. Denver Broncos: Kevin Riddick, ILB, North Carolina
The Broncos need a more athletic LB to compete with Joe Mays. Joe Mays appears to be a decet run stopper, but is terrible in coverage. Joe is better suited to a 3-4 scheme, and Denver run a 4-3, which is better suited for Riddick. Riddick has had a down year, but he's still got a ton of upside, and could be a solid pick in the late second round.
60. Atlanta Falcons: Larry Warford, OG, Kentucky
Peter Konz will likely take over from McClure at center, but the Falcons will need an upgrade at right guard. Larry Warford is a sleeper pick at guard.
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
Regarding TE's - I'd LOVE to see the Ravens use a late round pick on Dion Simms out of Michigan State or Michael Williams out of Alabama.
Simms is 6'6" 285lbs and Williams is 6'6" 270lbs. Both are really solid blockers and both provide nice ability as a receiver. Neither are really targeted all that much in their respective offenses because they are in run-oriented offenses. Simms really reminds me a lot of guys like Marcedes Lewis and Martellus Bennett. Big guys, good blockers, good hands, good athletes.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

SYLLABICATION: ter·ma·gant
PRONUNCIATION: tûr'mə-gənt
NOUN: A quarrelsome, scolding woman; a shrew.
ADJECTIVE: Shrewish; scolding.
ETYMOLOGY: From Middle English Termagaunt, imaginary Muslim deity portrayed as a violent and overbearing character in medieval mystery plays, alteration of Tervagant, from Old French.
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Copyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company. Published by the Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.
Let's examine some examples from the Master himself. By George, I think I see future taglines in the first two paragraphs!
I have observed that he was a simple, good-natured man; he was, moreover, a kind neighbor and an obedient henpecked husband. Indeed, to the latter circumstance might be owing that meekness of spirit which gained him such universal popularity; for those men are apt to be obsequious and conciliating abroad, who are under the discipline of shrews at home. Their tempers, doubtless, are rendered pliant and malleable in the fiery furnace of domestic tribulation, and a curtain lecture is worth all the sermons in the world for teaching the virtues of patience and long-suffering. A termagant wife may, therefore, in some respects, be considered a tolerable blessing, and if so, Rip Van Winkle was thrice blessed.
. . .
Times grew worse and worse with Rip Van Winkle as years of matrimony rolled on; a tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use. For a long while he used to console himself, when driven from home, by frequenting a kind of perpetual club of the sages, philosopers, and other idle personages of the village, which held its sessions on a bench before a small inn, designated by a rubicund portrait of His Majesty George the Third.
. . .
From even this stronghold the unlucky Rip was at length routed by his termagant wife, who would suddenly break in upon the tranquility of the assemblage, and call the members all to nought; nor was that august personage, Nicholas Vedder himself, sacred from the daring tongue of this terrible virago, who charged him outright with encouraging her husband in habits of idleness.
Poor Rip was at last reduced almost to despair; and his only alternative, to escape from the labor of the farm and the clamor of his wife, was to take a gun in hand, and stroll away into the woods.
What did you think he was going to do with the gun?
BTW, does anyone see the schwa (ə)? I can only see a box. Must be the furschlushinger font.

Hi all.
I don't know if this has been mentioned here before but it seems that these guys have had to close shop. At least that's what it says on the link.
I'm not sure how many people it affects.
Also, if someone wanted to do a course to become a comp-referee in BJJ, what's the best starting point?

Woman told she is too fat to use tanning beds
An Ohio tanning salon is under fire for telling a client she was "too fat to tan."
Kelly McGrevey claims Aloha Tanning, in Norton, turned her away on Tuesday after staff said the beds wouldn't take her weight.
"He said, 'Sorry, but I'm not going to let you tan today because we've just implemented a new policy where anyone over 230 pounds can't go in one of our beds," Kelly McGrevey reports.

BARSTOW - A judge has ruled there is enough evidence to try a Fort Irwin soldier on a felony charge of child abuse in the alleged beating of his 13-day-old baby.
Corey Poole, 23, was present Thursday for a preliminary hearing in Barstow Superior Court where Judge Miriam I. Morton heard testimony from a deputy with the San Bernardino County sheriff's Crimes Against Children Unit.
In June, 13 days after the baby was born, the mother went to a hospital for an undisclosed illness and left the baby alone with Poole for several hours, authorities said.
"He had been the sole person with the baby for the previous seven hours," said Deputy District Attorney Shannon Faherty.
The baby was later found to be bleeding from the nose and mouth, she said. The baby had broken limbs, several leg fractures and bleeding in the brain.
The doctor who examined the baby said there were fresh injuries consistent with child abuse, Faherty said.
Poole has pleaded not guilty. He says he placed the baby on a changing table and the baby pushed itself up and fell off .
A prosecutor's witness testified Thursday that Poole's accounts do not add up.
"The detective, who saw the changing table, said the fall would have only been 8 inches onto foam padding," Faherty said. "And a baby at 13 days old would be unable to role itself over."
Authorities said Poole's story was inconsistent with the baby's injuries.
Poole was arrested in October after Fort Irwin handed the investigation off to the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office. He posted bail and had been out of custody for previous hearings.
But after Thursday's preliminary hearing, Morton increased Poole's bail to $200,000 and he was remanded into custody.
Poole, who remains on active military duty, is scheduled back in court on Jan. 28. In addition to the child abuse charge, he faces a special allegation of great bodily injury to a victim under 5 years old.
The baby is in protective custody and away from the family, Faherty said.

The Herald Business Journal
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Diamond Knot Craft Brewing will expand operations to Mountlake Terrace with an 8,900-square-foot brewpub scheduled to open this fall.
Located in West Plaza next to Double DD Meats, the new Diamond Knot Brewpub @ MLT will include restaurant seating for 250 as well as full brewery operations capable of producing 1,500 barrels annually. The restaurant space will also include a 60-seat event space, wired to support myriad events.
"Timing for us has always been an issue," Diamond Knot President Bob Maphet said in a press release. "We were approached with this opportunity just before heading into the major expansion at our flagship Alehouse in Mukilteo. Mountlake Terrace is an area in which we have been interested, so in good faith we asked West Plaza to be patient with us while we focused our efforts on our Mukilteo Alehouse expansion."
The owners of West Plaza at 5602 232rd St. SW said the timing was perfect for them.
"We have wanted to operate a brewery in this location ever since we purchased it," Kirk Ishizaki said in the news release. "Diamond Knot is the perfect quality brand, and we are excited by the years of brewing and retail experience they bring with them. Giving them time to focus on the Alehouse gave us time to create a vision of a brewpub that would be in line with our mutual goals, as well as what reflects the community."
The new location comes during a time of revitalization for Mountlake Terrace's Town Center. With a new transit station and a proposed civic center, it is hoped Diamond Knot Brewpub @ MLT will become a local attraction, as have the Diamond Knot Alehouse in Mukilteo and its Camano Lodge on Camano Island.
The company expects to hire about 50 people to operate the restaurant and brewery.

Down the Drain?
Have you ever thought to yourself after flushing old prescriptions down the toilet, or after rinsing out a used household cleansing bottle in the kitchen sink, that there is probably a safer way of getting rid of these items? Or what about where the run-off soapy and grimy water goes when you wash your car in the driveway? Have you ever used hot water from your kitchen sink to rinse off residual food and grease from the dinner plates and cooking pots before you load up the dishwasher? Well now think about this, all of these chemicals, pollutants, solid materials, grease agents and drain cloggers all run through our sewer system and eventually to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, usually not before doing damage to our sewer system along the way. And some of these pollutants are so destructive and intrusive that even the advanced technologies we utilize at the Treatment Plant can't remove all traces of them. The reason this is so important to every citizen that lives in Meridian is that the water eventually is discharged back the Boise River, one of Idaho's most precious resources.
Please take the time to learn about the following services and ways that we all can use to help keep our community environmentally safe for all.
FREE Household Hazardous Water Collection at SSC
Household Hazardous Waste consists of items such as pesticides, cleaning supplies, paint and solvents, used motor oils, antifreeze and old gasoline. Products labeled Danger, Warning, or Caution all contain hazardous chemicals and should NEVER to be put into the City sewer lines! Meridian residents can drop off any household hazardous waste items free of charge every Monday between 12 noon and 7:00 p.m. at the Sanitary Services Company parking lot, located at 2130 W. Franklin Road. However, please DO NOT leave any items if SSC personnel isn't there to assist you. For more info call 888-3901.
Other examples of items that can be dropped off:
Wood Stains
Fats, Oils & Grease DisposalFats, Oils and Grease (FOG) are major culprits in clogging up kitchen drains and causing sewer line back-ups. Do not rinse off food scraps and grease from plates, pots and pans using hot water and flush down your kitchen drain. When FOG buildup reaches a point that sewer pipes become clogged, raw sewage can back-up to city streets, parking lots, nearby homes and commercial businesses. Commercial grease is not allowed to be disposed at the local landfill site. This grease must be transported to a special landfill location. Residential cooking grease is allowed to be disposed at the local landfill if properly contained in a spill proof container. Here are the proper ways to dispose of these items:
• Scrape all food scraps and grease solids into the garbage.
• Collect excess frying grease in a separate container for proper disposal.
For additional information, please contact Steve Maneck, Pretreatment Program Manager at (208) 888-2191 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Storm Water System Care
The storm water system and sewer collection systems are NOT connected. Water from your home drains and toilets is collected by the sewer collection system, treated at the Wastewater Treatment Plant and then discharged by the City into the 5 Mile Creek/Boise River. Storm or run-off water is simply channeled through the storm water system and discharged to our local watershed with NO treatment for pollutants or dangerous contaminants. Only you can prevent pollutants from entering our water supply. Here are some ways you can do your part:
• Recycle used motor oils & antifreeze; prevent vehicle leaks from driveways & street storm water drains.
• When washing your vehicle at home, Uuse non-phosphorus soaps or direct the soap suds onto your lawn instead of down your driveway & into the gutters. Or better yet, take your vehicle to a commercial car wash, which is connected to the City sewer system.
• Put litter, grass clippings and pet waste into the trash; never rinse them into the storm drains.
• Use only as much fertilizer and pesticide as you need, any excess will run off into the storm drains.

The Prophet Moses (pbuh)
The Story of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and the Mystery of Destiny
On Mount Sinai, Allah gave the Prophet Moses (pbuh) the good tidings that He would grant him his brother, the ProphetAaron (pbuh) as a companion. Then, Allah reminded the Prophet Moses (pbuh) the blessings He previously granted to him:
We were gracious to you another time when We revealed to your mother: "Place him into the chest and throw it into the sea and the sea will wash it up on the shore, where an enemy of Mine and his will pick it up." I showered you with love from Me so that you would be brought up under My supervision. When your sister went and said, "Shall I direct you to someone who will take care of him?" that was how We returned you to your mother so that she might delight her eyes and not be grieved. You killed a man and We rescued you from trouble and tested you with many trials. You stayed some years among the people of Midian. Then you arrived at the pre-ordained time, Moses! I have chosen you for Myself. (Surah Ta-Ha: 37-41)
These verses reveal the mystery of destiny, of which many a people are unaware or hardly understand. From his babyhood to the time he was chosen as a messenger, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) spent every moment of his life in line with what was predestined for him in the eternal past. Every detail within this destiny is Allah's will. For instance, as stated earlier, thousands of minute details ordained by Allah in the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) destiny rendered possible the arrival of the chest to the family of Pharaoh.
It is also possible to see the extent to which the latter stages of the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) life were within the confines of his destiny. The Prophet Moses (pbuh) became involved in a fight, left the city and headed to Midian, where he encountered two women. These women could not water their flocks because they avoided shepherds. Upon this situation, they asked for help from the Prophet Moses (pbuh). The Prophet Moses (pbuh) earned the trust of these women, and in return for his kindness, started a new life in Midian upon the proposal of their father. When the appointed time came, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) left Midian with his family. On his way back, he saw a fire where he was addressed by Allah and chosen to be Allah's Messenger.
The chest carrying the baby the Prophet Moses (pbuh) floating randomly down the Nile, his being picked up by Pharaoh's family, his being raised in the palace, the unintentional murder he committed, his departure from Egypt, his encounter with the two women, the many years spent with them, the way he started a family, the journey back to Egypt, Allah's address to him, and countless other details he experienced during this time all happened according to the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) destiny, already ordained before his birth. Not a single one of these events could have been omitted or have occurred differently. Because, our lives are similar to a film recorded in a video-cassette; it is impossible to remove even a single scene in one's destiny, just as how it cannot be done with a scene on a filmstrip. The destiny of a man, with each and every moment in it, is an intact whole.
Also in the verses, Allah mentions of the fact that the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) journey to the holy valley of Tuwa was in conformity with his destiny:
…Then you arrived at the pre-ordained time, Moses! (Surah Ta-Ha: 40)
This matter needs to be given special attention. The destiny referred here is not peculiar to the Prophet Moses (pbuh) only. Giving birth to the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was part of the destiny of the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) mother.
That she would give birth to the Prophet Moses (pbuh) at a certain day, and even at a certain hour, was also part of her destiny. But the mother of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) had parents as well. It was also their destiny to be the parents of the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) mother. This line of thought also holds true for the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) father and for the rest of his family.
The carpenter who made the chest which carried the Prophet Moses (pbuh) down the river also constructed it because he was predestined so in his destiny. His building of that chest was predestined for him even before he was born. The parents of this carpenter also led their lives in compliance with a certain destiny.
Let us consider the fight the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was involved in. This fight took place on just the moment the Prophet Moses (pbuh) happened to be there. From a simplistic point of view, one could say, "If it was to happen at a different time the Prophet Moses (pbuh) would not have been there and events could have taken a much different course." However this would be an incorrect evaluation. The fight took place just at the moment it was supposed to occur and evolved in the way it had to evolve. The reason being, this fight was also predestined by Allah. The same rule of destiny also holds true for the other parties involved in the fight, the reasons which led to the fight, as well as the man who advised the Prophet Moses (pbuh) to leave the city, advising him that people were conspiring against him. Ultimately, the shepherds near the Midian river, as well as the two women the Prophet Moses (pbuh) encountered, had all constituted indispensable parts of this destiny.
To fully grasp the fact that everything takes place within the decree predetermined by Allah is an important matter. The Prophet Muhammad (May Allah bless him and grant him peace), in whom there is an excellent example for all believers, said:
If any adversity comes to you, do not say: "If I had only acted in such-and-such a way, it would have been such-and-such;" but instead, say: "Allah has decreed (it) and what He willed, He has done," for verily, (the word) (if) opens the way for the work of satan." (Muslim)
When all these points are considered together, it becomes clear that, not only the Prophet Moses (pbuh), but also everything about his life, formed part of his destiny. A deeper and more detailed consideration would allow us to understand that we are all parts of the same destiny. In our own lives, we are also exposed to events predetermined in the eternal past by the all-mighty Allah. We were all bound by a destiny ordained for us. The moment of our death will also be a part of the same destiny. Destiny is, in reality, a Divine knowledge encompassing the whole of existence. Just as how all the details of the Prophet Moses' (pbuh) life, including his becoming a messenger, were predestined for him, all the details pertaining to the lives of all mankind, as well as your own lives, are all predestined. Furthermore, that you would read this book and become knowledgeable about the life of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) were all predestined at Allah's Sight for you long before the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was born. Destiny is an entirety in itself and covers everything. Immune to the will of any being other than of Allah, destiny is only determined by Him. (For more information please refer to Timelessness and the Reality of Fate and Eternity Has Already Begun by Harun Yahya).

Tabloid Wars Articles
Celebrity Tabloid Wars featuring conflicting stories and contradictions.
Dear Gossips,
Would love to know how it works when it comes to wedding photo negotiations. Like does George Clooney tell PEOPLE and HELLO! that "I won't take anything less than what Brad got"? Or does he say "If you give me x percent more, I'll give you x percent more - more photos, more quotes, more access"? And is there a photo checklist from the publication that has to be satisfied? Like do PEOPLE and HELLO! specify that they want: - The Dress, front and back - The Cake - Bride and Groom together, must be touching - $100k bonus if you give us a kiss - $100k bonus if you give us a photo of celebrity guests - at least one group family shot - at least one sappy quote Who has the power here? The seller or the buyer? The buyer ended up getting shafted for the Timberlake wedding when all the pictures came back low quality and not all that impressive. Read Full Intro
Question Mark/Exclamation Point
PEOPLE Magazine has been getting its ass kicked since the beginning of the year by Us Weekly on exclusives: Justin Timberlake's engagement, Drew Barrymore's pregnancy, Michelle Williams/Jason Segel first photos as a couple, to name a few. Each time, PEOPLE follows with a story half a day, sometimes a full day, later with "sources" of their own confirming what Us Weekly scooped earlier. Full Story

Savor The Sheer Exclusivity Of RIU's Los Cabos Resorts
At the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula is Los Cabos, one of Mexico's most beautiful and exclusive destinations. This area, between the towns of San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, has a startling number of attractions: exceptional beaches, wonderful landscape, water sports, a range of leisure options for both day and night, the chance to spot grey whales and delicious food and drink. Almost certainly you have come to Los Cabos in search of its wonderful beaches, and enjoying them will probably be your main activity; however we have drawn up a three-day plan in case you would like to see some of the local area and make the most of your vacation.
Day 1: The Arch of Cabo San Lucas
If you are in Los Cabos you shouldn't miss the opportunity to see its famous sea arch, the Arco. You can take a boat trip from the port of Cabo San Lucas to this spectacular natural monument, and this is a good opportunity to take a stroll along the two beaches on either side: the Playa del Amor and the Playa del Divorcio. There are different options; you can take a small launch or water taxi and the driver will act as a guide, explaining the area's features of interest. There are also catamarans on which you can spend the day on the high seas, take a dip and make some new friends. Whatever else may be included, most of these excursions also go to the Cueva de San Andrés grotto.
If you have chosen a half-day trip, you can have lunch at the buffet restaurant of your Hotel RIU and spend the afternoon at the nearby town of San José del Cabo. We recommend a stroll in the old town and a visit to the Misión, the Palacio Municipal and the central plaza, where you can enjoy the elegant architecture and buy craft souvenirs. If you visit on a Thursday, you can join an Art Walk, a visit to a number of galleries and studios that open their doors so the public can find out more about the artists and their work, while you enjoy a drink or a snack.
Day 2: Tours and Adventure in Baja California
To see some of the impressive landscape of Baja California we suggest taking a buggy tour or a horse or bike ride, so you can have fun while you enjoy marvelous sites such as the Cabo Falso lighthouse, which is very difficult to reach by car. If you are looking for more of a thrill, try the Wild Canyon theme park where you can go zip-lining or bungee jumping, as well as camel riding. Here you will have the opportunity to see, and even feed, some curious local animals: parrots, lizards, snakes... In the same afternoon you can visit the town of Miraflores or the craft glass factory located on the Cabo San Lucas road, two different ways of finding out more about the local culture.
Day 3: Underwater Heritage in Los Cabos
A visit to Los Cabos would not be complete without seeing some of its rich sea heritage. There are different ways of experiencing the underwater beauties of this area: scuba diving and particularly snorkeling, are the most frequent, but there are also glass-bottom boat trips that provide excellent views of the reefs here. If you prefer, there are excursions that take you to areas with a greater chance of sighting whales, particularly between December and March. However, if you want to be sure of seeing sea life, visit the Dolphin Discovery complex. Later on you can spend the afternoon finding out more about these animals by visiting the Pasado Marina Museum, dedicated to the species that live in the sea around Los Cabos.
Remember that every night, after a delicious dinner at the buffet restaurant of your RIU hotel or at one of the theme restaurants, you can enjoy the evening entertainment programs at the Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas and the Hotel Riu Santa Fe.

The e-mail that changed computing
Yes, I know LinuxCon has come and gone, and I think they've got the publicity thing covered, especially with the 20-year thing and with Linus being there and all. The buzz is still going, and that's good. But if you're going to a Linux show, make it the Ohio LinuxFest in September. Bradley Kuhn and Cathy Malmrose are keynoting, so you'll not want to miss that (especially Cathy — Go ZaReason!)
Twenty years ago today, this e-mail was sent out on the comp.os.minix newsgroup:
"Hello everybody out there using minix –
"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I'd like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).
"I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work."This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and I'd like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them 🙂
"Linus (torva…@kruuna.helsinki.fi)
"PS. Yes – it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs. It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(."
That operating system "that won't be big and professional like GNU" became Linux, which celebrates 20 years today. Jim Zemlin at the Linux Foundation gives us a pretty good look at what we know for sure in these past two decades.
So thank you, Linus, for getting the ball rolling 20 years ago.

Wood, Lucy. Diving Belles and other stories
Whimsical, magical, and full of wonder, Wood's stories beguile the reader into a version of England's foggy Cornwall coast in which the unexpected not only can happen but usually does. Characters in these stories live side by side with creatures out of mythology, sometimes becoming those creatures themselves. In the title story, staying husbands have become mermen and their wives must brave the depths to bring them home. In Countless Stones, a young woman helps a former lover as he house-hunts while slowing and inexorably turning to stone. In another stand-out story, Of Mothers and Little People, a daughter discovers that her mother is a fully-formed human being in her own right, with secret joys that daughters seldom imagine in their parents—in this case, a faery lover.
These are truly grown-up fairy tales, with touches of magical realism and outright enchantment never obscuring the very real stories and characters underneath. There are few easy answers or pat morals in these fairy stories.

Hi gals and guys!
I noted on google books that "In the Buddhas Words" by Bhikkhu Bodhi seemed to be put up in full version.
I find google books on my computer to be a pretty hard to use platform when reading. Does anyone know of a open source pdf or other format of the whole book?
And in side note thanks Venerable Bhikkhu Bodhi for your wonderful works and use of your precious time in helping the greater buddhist community.
Edit: Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English: An Introductory guide to Deeper States of Meditation by Bhante Henepola Gunaratana would be awesome too but I don't know if this is open source.
^^ Thanks to him too for such a reference!

Willie Nelson making birthday bash a West, Texas benefit concert
Listen to Willie Nelson on iHeartRadio
Willie Nelson is making plans to support the community he calls his "backyard" with a show at The Backyard. Nelson was born and raised in Abbott, Texas - less than ten miles away from the small community of West, where a massive fertilizer plant explosion claimed several lives Wednesday night.
The country legend was already scheduled to perform at The Backyard in Austin, Texas on April 28th at a show that was slated to be a big bash for his birthday two days later. But Willie tells "CMT Hot 20 Countdown" that in light of the West tragedy, he and his band have "decided to start a benefit there and let other people join in."
Nelson adds that he'll be giving the money he makes from the show to the West Volunteer Fire Department. He says the other participants won't be obligated to make a similar donation, but they certainly "can do so."
Additional performers and other details on the benefit haven't been announced yet, but will be posted at WillieNelson.com. His website also has information on how to help out with Red Cross donations of money, blood, food, and other goods.

WATCH: Billy Joel & George Harrison's kids cover their dads for Gap ads
Listen to Billy Joel on iHeartRadio | Listen to George Harrison on iHeartRadio
A pair of music's royal family members are bringing the Gap back to television.
The brand's first commercials in four years feature Alexa Ray Joel and Dhani Harrison paying tribute to their famous dads. Joel - a.k.a the daughter of Billy Joel - performs a snippet of her father's hit "Just the Way You Are."
Likewise, Harrison plays the Beatles tune "For You Blue," which was performed and written by dad George Harrison.
Gap's global CMO Seth Farbman tells "Ad Age" putting the progeny of famous rockers in their "Back to Blue" campaign just seemed like a "really rich" idea for a brand built on the "generation gap."
Joel and Harrison's GAP ads are expected to run during event-oriented programming like upcoming NFL games and season premieres of shows such as "Modern Family" and "Saturday Night Live."

I do and I made a post about it but it is waiting for admin approval. I even took a screen shot.
I got my Asus Transformer the other day and have got it 'rooted' etc by folowing this guide on xda-developers forum.
very helpful and easy to follow.
I was wondering if anyone here had already got BT5 running on the Transformer?
And had any tips or hints
I do and I made a post about it but it is waiting for admin approval. I even took a screen shot.
I'd love to know how you managed it. I've tried running the ARM version of BT5, changed the mount points and it's still failing on the "sh bootbt" part.
Got further with it. Right now the script is only failing at the mount /dev/pts and /sys. The other folders all mount fine. Any advice?

I got mine running no problem, followed this post
Works like a charm vnc is a bit laggy, but can be useable from the command line, have managed to create a payload and exploit a box with metasploit, which is nice.
What ROM are you using? Is there anything besides the terminal emulator and vnc viewer that needs to be installed?
Nevermind, I missed a step in the installation instructions. Seems to work okay now.

ATV rider hurt in fall on rock pile
Saturday night around 7 p.m., Forest Grove Fire and Rescue was called to an ATV accident in the area of Browns Camp in the Tillamook State Forest about 3 miles off of the Wilson River Highway.
Some crews battling a field fire were called from that operation to help the injured rider.
The ATV rider had fallen approximately 15-20 feet down a rock pile; his injuries were serious enough that a Life Flight helicopter was utilized to transport the patient to the trauma center at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland.
Wilson River Highway had to be shut down for about 10 minutes while crews used the roadway to land the Life Flight helicopter; this caused a minor back in traffic for weekend commuters that were traveling to and from Tillamook.

NEW YORK CITY -- William M. (Bill) Murray will join the National Coffee Association as president and chief executive, effective June 1. He succeeds Robert Nelson who led the trade group as president and chief executive for two decades.
Murray joins the NCA from the Public Relations Society of America, where he served as chief executive of the 32,000-member organization. Prior to PRSA, he was the co-chief operating officer of the Motion Picture Association of America.
Former NCA board chairman Dub Hay served as interim president and chief executive since Nelson's departure in January. Nelson remains available to NCA's board of directors to assist in a smooth transition.
The National Coffee Association of USA was founded in 1911. It is the earliest association for the U.S. coffee industry, and is one of the oldest trade groups in the country. Its membership comprises coffee growers, roasters, retailers, importers and exporters, and wholesalers.


text: Hmmmnn - not sure why this did not post - try again. When I use my soft rack on the Honda accord or when traveling it creates quite a buzz - not the good kind and the board vibrates also. I saw one guy put a third strap over the middle but not sure if that did anything for the buzz. Any suggestions.

The Francis Marion University Center of Excellence to Prepare Teachers of Children of Poverty won a 2012 Partnership Organization Award from the National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS) at Johns Hopkins University. The COE was recognized for its work that led to the establishment of the Add-On Certification for teachers of children of poverty.
In addition, the COE, a member of NNPS, provided detailed descriptions of specific strategies that it conducts to help districts and schools improve their plans and programs of family and community involvement to support school improvement goals. Essential elements include teamwork, leadership, goal-linked plans for action, implementation, facilitation, evaluation, and network connections, which resulted in two local schools earning national recognition as well.
The center assists districts and schools in various ways. Those include training teachers in the conduct and use of research to increase their ability to make data-based decisions, linking research directly with professional development, and helping teachers understand parents who live in poverty and the community resources that are available to them.
The COE will continue to advocate policies to strengthen the programs and personnel in our districts and schools, said Tammy Pawloski, director of the COE.
"It is no surprise that the center earned this honor that recognizes our activities which are designed to support local districts in their efforts to build and sustain family and community partnerships and promote the success of teachers of children of poverty," said Pawloski. "Under the leadership of Markey Bee, associate director, this segment of center services continues to grow."
This is the fifth year the center has earned this recognition, and according to Pawloski, it is due in large part to the work of Bee.
"We are so honored to receive this award," said Bee. "Our focus has always been on the development of effective, goal-oriented partnership practices leading to excellence in the teaching of children of poverty. This award confirms our commitment to the needs of this community."
For information about FMU's COE, contact Bee at 843-669-1826. For information on NNPS, visit the National Network of Partnership Schools website.

VTP Pruning Problem
We are having to change our IP structure and I came across a problem with the vtp pruning. I have been configuring our WAP 1231 with new vlans for the ssid. I create new sub interfaces for the radio 0 and fa0. This is the first time configuring 2 access points that we use as bridges. I changed the vlan on it the same as I changed the other WAPs. This time though the Cat 6513 on one bridge and the Cat 3750 on the other side are both pruning my management vlan. This 6513 is not the root primary for any of the vlans. It is connected to the root. Here are some of the show commands:

Right now I can't connect to the other side but it has the same configuration.
Does anyone know why I can't get the management vlan to work on this port?

Dynatronics sales
down, profit up
Dynatronics Corp., a Utah company that makes equipment used by physical therapists and sports-medicine practitioners, has reported that net income for its fourth quarter ended June 30 increased to $115,954, or 1 cent per share, compared with net income of $68,776 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Sales, however, declined 5.5 percent, to $7.4 million.
BSD Medical takes
steps on securities
BSD Medical, a Utah provider of medical systems that use heat therapy to treat cancer, filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission so it can have most of the paperwork in place to issue up to $50 million in mixed securities whenever it deems the time is right. BSD, however, said it has no immediate plans to do so.
Ski magazine names
Canyons top resort
Utah's Canyons Resort has been named a Top 10 North American ski resort in the latest SKI Magazine reader survey. The recognition the Canyons earned the 10th overall ranking marks the first time the resort made it into the Top 10 of the magazine's annual list. It was lauded for adding trails and making other improvements.
Home prices
still going up
U.S. home prices jumped 4.6 percent in August, compared with a year ago, the largest year-over-year increase in more than six years, according to CoreLogic, a private real estate data provider. It said prices rose 0.3 percent in August from July, the sixth straight monthly gain. Other measures of home prices, such as Standard &Poor's Case Shiller index, have also show recent gains.
Holiday sales
outlook mixed
The National Retail Federation, the nation's largest retail trade group, said it expects sales during the winter holiday shopping period in November and December to rise 4.1 percent this year. That's more than a percentage point lower than the growth in each of the past two years, and the smallest increase since 2009, when sales rose 0.3 percent.
T-Mobile parent
eyes smaller rival
The parent of cellphone company T-Mobile USA says it's in talks to buy smaller MetroPCS Communications Inc., a deal that could shore up the two struggling smaller players in the U.S. wireless industry. Deutsche Telekom AG, the German company that owns T-Mobile USA, says "significant issues have not yet been finalized" and that no decision has been made on a deal.
U.S. auto sales
up last month
Americans found plenty of reasons to buy new cars in September. Sales rose for most automakers, led by gains of more than 30 percent for Toyota and Volkswagen. Buyers needed to replace aging cars, banks offered cheap loans and auto companies rolled out new fuel-efficient models. Beneath that, buyers felt more confident about the jobs market, a key factor influencing sales.
