Oh yes, I don
Isn't this great news? I am always in favor of a natural approach before a chemical approach. Thanks for posting this good information.
Ginger has been used for motion sickness for years with great results. Why do we not see more natural remedies advertised?
Drug manufacturers don't reap the monetary benefits. (Patent cannot be established.)
It is not scientific proven, widely enough.
Advertising campaigns are limited due to the high cost.
Sure does not seem right, does it?
All my best wishes,
I bring ginger tea with me to chemo and have a cup the morning after also. I'm not sure if it's the ginger that is helping, but I don't have to take any anti nausea meds. I'll take ginger over steroids any day!
Well, I will probably start chemo next week and by tomorrow I will have a supply of ginger laid in. Sounds much better than "another medicine".

WATCH: Haim Shares 'My Song 5' Video With Vanessa Bayer
Listen to Haim Radio on iHeartRadio
It looks like Haim will be bringing plenty of drama to their upcoming video. The trio shared their "My Song 5" clip, which stars "Saturday Night Live's" Vanessa Bayer as a daytime talk-show host whose guests have big secrets to share.
In addition to the Haim sisters themselves, the video also features cameos from Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, rapper A$AP Ferg, and Kesha.

We know, and have known for some time that the Pāli canon as we have it – and it is generally conceded to be our oldest source – cannot be taken back further than the last quarter of the first centure B.C.E., the date of the Alu-vihāra redaction, the earliest redaction that we can have some knowledge of, and that – for a critical history – it can serve, at the very most, only as a source for Buddhism of this period. But we also know that even this is problematic since, as Malalasekera has pointed out: " … how far the Tipiṭaka and its commentary reduced to writing at Alu-vihāra resembled them as they have come down to us now, no one can say." In fact, it is not until the time of the commentaries of Buddhaghosa, Dhammapāla, and others – that is to say, the fifth to sixth centuries C.E. – that we can know anything definite about the actual contents of this canon. We also know that there is no evidence to indicate that a canon existed prior to the Alu-vihāra redaction.
We know too that the earliest source we have in an Indian language other than Pāli – and this, according to Norman, is a translation – appears to be the Gāndhārī Dharmapada, the manuscript of which may date to the second century C.E. Of our Sanskirt sources, almost all from Central Asia, probably none is earlier than the fifth century, and the Gilgit Manuscripts, which appear to contain fragments of an Ekottarāgama, are still later. Our Chinese sources do not really begin until the second half of the second century, and it is, in fact, probably not until we arrive at the translations of the Madhyamāgama and the Ekottarāgama by Dharmanandin in the last quarter of the fourth century that we have the first datable sources which allow us to know – however imperfectly – the actual doctrinal content of at least some of the major divisions of the nikāya/āgama literature. It is from this period, then, from the end of the fourth century, that some of the doctrinal content of the Hināyāna canonical literature can finally be definitely dated and actually verified. Not before.

'Satan's 12-game spurt of five goals and nine assists has increased his season stats to 16 goals and 23 helpers, both team highs.

What was going on outside wound up having a big influence on what state regulators heard inside the Department of Environmental Quality building Thursday as they fielded public comments on a local oil refinery's proposed expansion.
About four dozen people showed up to weigh in on Holly's proposal to more than double the daily output of its Woods Cross refinery, and they had to endure a dirty cloud of air pollution to get there.
There were supporters who spoke up and noted the jobs and economic activity the expansion would create. But many more questioned the state's logic, ethics and sanity in tentatively approving Holly's plans when the air outside was so foul and the Division of Air Quality has failed to develop a comprehensive plan to clean it up.
Ingrid Griffee, a member of Utah Moms for Clean Air, asked why her children are urged to forgo recess and she's asked to drive less when regulators are simultaneously allowing more tankers to deliver more oil to the refinery.
"I'm wondering," she said, echoing the disbelief and annoyance expressed by many opponents, "why we are going to be inviting more diesel traffic in our valleys?"
Joel Ban voiced similar concerns, noting the state failed to meet a federal deadline last month to submit a complete package of pollution-reduction plans aimed at eliminating wintertime particulate pollution episodes like these.
"It seems to me we are going in the wrong direction we need to be going in terms of writing air-quality regulations," he said.
The state has verified Holly has said its new pollution control equipment will cut overall pollution by nearly 125 tons a year even though production will go up from 26,000 barrels a day to 60,000.
Still, representatives of the Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah, the League of Women Voters, Breathe Utah and the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment voiced their opposition to the expansion. State Sen. Jerry W. Stevenson, R-Layton, joined local union and Uintah Basin community leaders in explaining why they view Holly's plans as a positive impact for the community and the state.
Utah Petroleum Association President Lee Peacock commended Holly for its stewardship and noted that the expanded refinery would process black and yellow waxy crude oil from the Uinta Basin, creating a new market for Utah's natural resources, along with more jobs and economic activity.
"The extraction of these resources benefits all of us," he said.
State regulators, straightforward about their plan to approve the expansion, have said they have little power under current regulations to force new reductions at Holly or the two other Salt Lake Valley refineries that are expanding, since they won't exceed the allowable pollution limits even with expansion.
Twitter: @judyfutah
More oil refined, but less pollution
As they pored over the Holly refinery's application to expand, state regulators confirmed that pollution would decline with the proposed expansion. The company would increase its output to 60,000 barrels a day, compared with the current 26,000 barrels a day.
The proposed modifications will mean lower PM10 (-31.34 tons per year), PM2.5 (-14.09 tpy), nitrogen oxides (-5.38 tpy), sulphur dioxide (-279.56 tpy) and volatile organic compounds (-14.88 tpy). There will be increases in carbon monoxide (220.28 tpy) and in greenhouse gases (195,907 tpy).
More time to weigh in on the Holly expansion
O The Utah Division of Air Quality has extended the monthlong comment period on the Holly refinery expansion by two weeks. Comments will now be accepted until 6 p.m., Jan. 18. You can see key documents here > 1.usa.gov/137iYVV
The documents are also available for public inspection at the agency's offices, 195 N. 1950 West, Salt Lake City.

Reading about Gov. Jay Inslee's lovefest with Boeing on May 10 left me feeling a little sick, but not surprised. (Article, "Inslee's aerospace plan: Land the 777X.") Our politicians seem to have forgotten that they are elected to serve the interests of the citizens of this state; not the bottom line of corporations. I read the statements about what our state is promising to contribute to this "partnership," and it was easy to read between the lines:
•Funding transportation and port improvements. Realspeak: Yes, Boeing, we realize that you like to contract out your manufacturing to countries which allow you to exploit the workforce and the environment, and we will help you do that by building you ports, at taxpayer expense, in order to facilitate bringing those parts home.
Working with local government to ensure streamlined permitting. Realspeak: Go ahead, Boeing, and spew whatever poison you want to into our Puget Sound. We will stifle dissent from those environmentally-minded citizens who would like to eat seafood more than once a month.
Fostering better relationships between labor and management. Realspeak: We will back you up when the uppity unions try to fend off takeaways and have the audacity to expect that the profits actually be shared with those who created them: the workers.
Don't get me wrong. I worked for Boeing for a number of years before changing careers, and I have many family members who were lifelong employees there, when Boeing was still a good company. Those invited to design the future of the company were the innovators; the risk-takers; the engineers. But something happened in the 1990s. Perhaps it was the takeover by McDonnell Douglas, which was disguised as a merger. At any rate, the bean-counters assumed control; the executives, instead of coming up through the ranks, began to be bought from other companies for exorbitantly high salaries; partnership with the community, which had been part of company culture from the beginning, was abandoned; the bottom line became the driving force; and the soul of the company was lost.
Now they make demands; we try to meet them, and they slap us by moving headquarters to Chicago, and assembly lines to right-to-work states. We are threatened repeatedly by this bully, which waves jobs over our heads in order to get concessions and special tax privileges. This is extortion, and I am sure that I am not the only citizen of this state who is sick and tired of it. It is time for our politicians to realize that Boeing will never give anywhere near what it takes, and quit trying to accommodate them. I believe that there is life after Boeing — if they leave, we will replace them with companies who will not abuse us. The Boeing we grew up with — which made Seattle the "Jet City" — left a long time ago anyway.
Our state is failing to properly fund education, and cutting other services that benefit all of us. Can we really afford to keep subsidizing a wealthy corporation?

Dixie quarterback Blake Barney never shook last year's loss to Juan Diego.
"I thought about it every day," the senior said. "We thought [the first-round matchup in 2011] was going to be a little closer, but 41-0, that was a bad taste in our mouths. Every single day, I thought about that. I was hoping we would rematch them this year."
Friday night, Barney and his Flyers got their wish and their revenge with a 14-13 win.
Under the lights, on a snow-covered field, the underdog Flyers relied on Barney's legs and a stingy defense to upset an undefeated Soaring Eagle team that had never before lost at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Barney rushed 23 times for 107 yards and his team's two touchdowns.
"Even though he didn't play his best game, he played good enough to win and got after it," Dixie coach Blaine Monkres said of his quarterback.
Barney completed just three of his 10 passes and threw a pair of interceptions. In the fourth quarter, Barney was picked off by Soaring Eagle linebacker Kalei Reyes-Kauhaahaa. But Juan Diego, up 13-7, lost a fumble just two plays later.
Barney capitalized, capping off a 13-yard drive with his second rushing touchdown of the night.
And with the game winding down, it was Barney again wriggling through tacklers for one final first down.
Juan Diego, 12-0 entering Friday night's game, looked dominant at times running the ball. Quarterback Nick Markosian combined with running backs Chase Williams and Jessie Springer for 209 yards on the ground. But the Flyers' defense kept Juan Diego off the scoreboard for the entire second half.
After taking down previously undefeated Stansbury to reach the semifinal game, junior wide receiver Drew Batchelor said his team has embraced the underdog role.
"We weren't supposed to win a lot of games this year," he said. "Personally, I think we like to have it on our back that teams and people don't think we're going to win. I think it's motivation for us."
Juan Diego struck first, on a Springer touchdown run in the second quarter. But Barney brought Dixie back with a 2-yard score in the waning seconds of the half.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Flyers elected to kick the ball deep, and Reyes-Kauhaahaa made them pay.
The Soaring Eagle senior returned the ball 28 yards to the Juan Diego 45. One play later, with just 11 seconds left on the clock, Markosian threw to Reyes-Kauhaahaa, who sprinted down the sideline for a touchdown.
A Soaring Eagle penalty pushed the extra-point attempt back, and the try clanked off the right upright. In all, Juan Diego committed 10 penalties for 107 yards.
Dixie faces Spanish Fork next Friday for the 3A title. The last time the Flyers played in the championship game was 1998, a game that Dixie won.

Nobody ever escaped from the prison at nearby Alcatraz Island, they say, but the BYU Cougars are turning the practice at USF's War Memorial Gymnasium into an art form. Just like last year when they took an 85-84 win over the homestanding Dons, the Cougars eked out a WCC victory here Saturday night. BYU won 80-76 after almost blowing a six-point lead in the final two minutes because they missed free throws.
"It was kind of scary," Matt Carlino said.
Ironically, the Cougars' best free-throw shooters did the missing this time. Tyler Haws was just 3-for-6 from the line, believe it or not. He missed two front ends in a row, the first with 6:46 remaining, and the second with 24 seconds remaining and the Cougars holding on to a 77-76 lead. Coach Dave Rose said in his postgame interview that sometimes the Cougars take Haws' free-throw shooting for granted. "That's why we play the game. You never know what is going to happen," Rose said.
Carlino missed a front end, also, with 40 seconds left. But he drained two with 2.7 seconds left to seal it. So the Cougars improved to 2-0 in WCC play, 12-4 overall. They play host to Pepperdine on Thursday at the Marriott Center, then return to the Bay Area next Saturday for a game at Santa Clara that figures to be just as difficult, if not more so, than Saturday night's in front of a smallish crowd of 2,123 her in San Fran. Haws said he felt like the Cougars kind of grew up a little bit tonight, what with Brandon Davies logging only 17 minutes and six points, due to foul trouble. He and Carlino chipped in 22 points apiece USF's big guns, Cody Doolin and Cole Dickerson, also had 22 points each. But unsung Cougars also shined. Craig Cusick hit a three-pointer to give BYU as six-point lead with less than two minutes remaining, and added a free-throw later. Football star Bronson Kaufusi had two points and a rebound. Josh Sharp grabbed 10 rebounds, scored six points, and played strong defense in the final seconds on Doolin when the splendid USF guard was driving for what looked like it was going to be the tying basket. Mostly, the Cougars found their stride defensively in the second half. The Dons were 9-for-13 from three-point range in the first half, but just 2-for-11 from beyond the arc in the second half. Shots that were open for USF in the first half were contested better in the last 20 minutes.

After writing this TN, I noticed this wasn't the first time I'd tasted this wine. The original note is shown below tonight's note and I'll have to say I suspect I was somewhat off the mark with my earlier note. Bottle variation might be a mitigating factor, but I suspect not. More likely I didn't see the tobacco integrating as it has over the last 3 years, together with a slight softening of the wine which seems to have brought it all together nicely. Also the finish in this wine was certainly not abrupt and had reasonable but not huge length.
1996 Château Deyrem Valentin - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux (11/2/2009)
Still healthy, yet medium/light colour with a band of brown at the rim showing maturity.
On the nose, tobacco, blackcurrant and some green pepper, with just a whisper of volatile acidity. Also a slightly surprising plummy richness on swirling.
Lovely poise to the palate. Light to medium in body, with fruit light yet persistant and green pepper a pleasant accent to the fruit. Discreet tannins combine with the fruit/green pepper on the finish to give the impression of a wine primly keeping itself under control.
Near the opposite end of the scale to the 'big is better, and biggest is best' school of thought (whose advocates would see this wine very differently I'm sure). Maybe a lean 'lunchtime claret' style, but a fine example of it IMO. In this context, lean has positive connotations.
(from a half bottle) Certainly ready, yet it should hold well for a few more years.
£9.80 for a half bottle
1996 Château Deyrem Valentin - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux (12/5/2006)
Light (12% alc) but nicely balanced with good depth of colour. The tobacco notes were just a touch strong for such a light wine, but acidity was well judged and tannins had softened. No signs of obvious greenness, thought the finish was quite abrupt. All in all a very pleasant midweek wine, which I'm sure has reached it's peak. Would buy again if priced well.

Thompson returning to Dash in '14
Skipper was Carolina League Manger of the Year in 2012
By Winston-Salem Dash | January 21, 2014 3:30 PM ET
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- For the second time in three seasons, Tommy Thompson will lead the Winston-Salem Dash in 2014, the Chicago White Sox announced Tuesday afternoon. Pitching coach J.R. Perdew, hitting coach Gary Ward, athletic trainer Josh Fallin and strength and conditioning coach Raymond Smith join Thompson on the Dash's field staff.
Thompson managed Winston-Salem to one of the franchise's best seasons in 2012. He guided the Dash to full-season Minor League Baseball's best regular season record (87-51-1) and the Mills Cup Championship Series en route to the Carolina League's Manager of the Year award. Only the 1950 Winston-Salem Cardinals have won more games in the franchise's 110-year history than the 2012 squad.
"I am really looking forward to returning to Winston-Salem," Thompson said. "We had a great season in 2012. I don't know if we can repeat that, but we are looking for some big things out of our young players."
Last season, Thompson was the manager for the Low-A Kannapolis Intimidators, a club that finished with a 61-76 record. In seven seasons as a minor league manager, he owns a record of 451-456 (.497).
Born in Oklahoma City, Okla., Thompson spent 10 years as a minor league player. The Atlanta Braves drafted him in the 28th round of the 1979 MLB Draft out of the University of Oklahoma. Following seven seasons with Atlanta's organization, Thompson signed with the White Sox as a free agent and spent three years with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate prior to beginning his coaching career in the midst of the 1988 season.
Thompson's first managerial job came with short-season Utica in 1990, and he advanced to Low-A South Bend in 1991. From 1992-2005, Thompson was the White Sox Catching Coordinator. Following a year away from baseball, Thompson joined Baltimore's organization and led High-A Frederick in 2007 and 2008. In 2010, he returned to the White Sox as a Roving Coaching Assistant. One year later, he managed Low-A Kannapolis.
Both Perdew and Ward were also with Thompson during the 2012 season, and the duo will be in the Winston-Salem dugout once again in 2014. This trio propelled the Carolina League past the California League in the annual All-Star Game between the two circuits at BB&T Ballpark on June 19, 2012.
This will be Perdew's eighth season as a pitching coach in Winston, and his third consecutive assignment with the Dash. Last season, the Cumberland, Md., native helped Chris Bassitt and Chris Beck become Carolina League All-Stars. The former U.S. Marine has been a pitching coach in the White Sox system since 1997. He pitched at George Mason University and signed with San Francisco as an undrafted free agent.
Ward comes back to the Triad after a one-year run as Double-A Birmingham's hitting coach. Under Ward's tutelage, the Barons won the Southern League title. The Riverside, Calif., native also acted as the Dash's hitting coach in 2011 and 2012. He played in the majors for 12 seasons and hit .276 with 130 home runs and 597 RBIs in 1,287 games, and he earned a spot on the American League All-Star Team in 1983 and 1985. Ward also reached "The Show" as the White Sox hitting coach from 2001-03.
"Tommy, J.R. and Gary gave our community a season to remember in 2012," Dash President Geoff Lassiter said. "We are fortunate to have this coaching staff here in Winston-Salem for 2014. They will work as hard as they can to help the Dash win baseball games and develop future members of the White Sox."
Fallin and Smith round out the Dash's field staff for 2014. Fallin is back for a second straight campaign with the Dash. He also spent 10 years as the head trainer in Winston-Salem from 2001-10, a run that preceded two seasons with Double-A Birmingham. The Lewisville resident has won three Trainer of the Year honors in his career, with two of them coming in the Carolina League (2005 and 2007).
Smith is also making a return trip to the Triad after spending two seasons as the strength and conditioning coach with the Warthogs in 2006 and 2007. Since then, the Appalachian State University product logged five seasons in Double-A Birmingham (2008-12) and one in Triple-A Charlotte (2013). Smith was born in Winston-Salem.
Three members of the Dash's 2013 field staff have been placed elsewhere in the organization. Manager Ryan Newman has jumped to Triple-A Charlotte as an assistant coach under skipper Joel Skinner. Hitting coach Rob Sasser and strength and conditioning coach Tim Rodmaker will hold the same role with Low-A Kannapolis and rookie-level Great Falls, respectively.
The Dash begin their fifth season at BB&T Ballpark on Thursday, April 3, against the Wilmington Blue Rocks. Ticket packages are on sale now, and fans can call (336) 714-2287 to purchase their tickets today.

Jimmy Johns' Wisdom: Student Reactions
On September 9, the College of Business Honors Program started a new tradition by hosting its first college-wide lecture for all students in the College of Business. Jimmy John Liautaud told approximately 200 students his success story starting in 1983 when he opened his first sandwich shop to the present. Jimmy John's is the fastest growing restaurant chain in the USA. Here are some student reactions to Jimmy John's success story:
"I could not believe how real and down to earth the owner of the fastest growing food chain was. He showed me that succeeding in business is truly about how you deal with people and not all about how professional you are. It is more about how good you are at job and that everything else will follow."
"I was inspired by Jimmy John's quote 'Your income is directly related to the people you touch.' I realized how important it is to initiate contact with people. They are not going to come begging for you. You need to go to them and let them know how driven you are to succeed in the business world."
"Jimmy's flippant attitude toward business and casual dress made me judge him as unremarkable, merely lucky. The passion he exhibited towards his craft allowed me to understand why Jimmy John's is the fastest growing chain of its kind."
"Jimmy John is living proof that passion for what you do is one of the most important ingredients for success. His story is truly inspirational."
"Jimmy John got me pumped up and made me want to do something with my life."
"Jimmy John stressed that entrepreneurs should stick to the basics and break everything down to its most fundamental elements into order to make their product the best it can be."
"Walking out of Jimmy John's presentation, my first instinct was to go buy a Jimmy John's Sub, not because I was hungry but because I had nothing but respect for the man behind the sandwich. Never have I laughed and learned so much in 30 minutes."
"Despite all his success, Jimmy John is still a modest, down-to-earth guy and not afraid to say it like it is. I was surprised at his frankness but learned a lot from him because he was so honest. It was inspiring to hear from someone who started with basically nothing and through hard work and perseverance built a multi-million dollar corporation."
"I was impressed that even though Jimmy John was not a great student, he knew the qualities that it takes to become successful: hard work, determination, and a love for serving others."
"It was amazing to hear how Jimmy John managed a successful business in such an unusual way. Not many CEO's would be willing to personally clean stores and work with employees to help fix problems at restaurants with plummeting sales. He really inspired me to believe that anything in this life is attainable if we really want it bad enough."
"I had a great time and also learned a lot from hearing Jimmy John speak. Although he took a shot at the professionalism we are trying to hone at the business school, he was very straightforward and had very valuable lessons to share with us. The greatest thing I will take away from the lecture is to be totally accountable as a leader and to always break things down and tackle them full force one at a time to be efficient and effective."
"I thought Jimmy John was a very entertaining and inspiring speaker that was really able to capture the audience. I had no idea he was so young but I definitely thought his story was amazing considering his age. Although he did not necessarily state this, he emphasized the importance of networking by showing who helped him out along the way. His success doesn't relate to being one of the top students in his class, but having a dream and the networking skills to be able to achieve it."
"I wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Jimmy John speak. He gave me an entirely new perspective on the world of business. Not everyone needs to be straight-laced and dressed in suits. What is vital to success is the amount of hard work and passion put into what you're doing. He stressed the importance in serving others and taught to never settle for mediocrity."
"The one thing I took away from listening to Jimmy John was his persistence and ability to go back to the basics. He stressed that he was most successful when he took problems one step at a time. He never opened an additional store or location until he was sure that the first ones were succeeding and running properly. I also could not help but enjoy his 'brutally honest' answers to all of our questions."
"The most fun I've ever had at a guest lecture."

Difference between revisions of "String Is Integer"

Revision as of 08:50, 4 December 2006
You want to determine whether a string is an integer
The io_lib:fread function is the easiest method. io_lib:fread can handle strings containing base 2 through 36 numbers into a number, though decimal is the default. If the conversion can't be performed, or if the string does not contain a number, io_lib:fread returns {error} (rather than {ok}. Here are some examples showing the proper format specifiers:
1> io_lib:fread("~d", "1234"). {ok,[1234],[]} 2> io_lib:fread("~16u", "abc"). {ok,[2748],[]} 3> io_lib:fread("~d", "abc"). {error,{fread,integer}}
This is only half the solution, however. io_lib:fread works for any kind of number, so technically, you should wrap the call in a call to the is_integer predicate:
4> Is_String_Int = fun(String) -> 4> {ok,IntString,Stuff} = io_lib:fread("~d", String), 4> IntStringHead = hd(IntString), 4> is_integer(IntStringHead) 4> end. #Fun<erl_eval.6.39074546> 5> Is_String_Int("77"). true
Even this function is not perfect. It thinks "77.7" is an integer since it reads the 77 and drops the .7 prior to trying the is_integer predicate. Need to research this a bit more.
Is there a reason why the list_to_integer function is not used for this?
1> Is_String_Int = fun(String) -> 1> case (catch list_to_integer(String)) of 1> {'EXIT', _} -> false; 1> Integer -> true 1> end 1> end. #Fun<erl_eval.6.56006484> 2> Is_String_Int("77.7"). false 3> Is_String_Int("77"). true

Fox Newsers rally for Tim Burns' congressional campaign
Fox News hosts and contributors are again rallying to the Republican cause, this time in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District. Fox News' Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Dana Perino have boosted the campaign of GOP candidate Tim Burns with glowing publicity, fundraising pitches, and endorsements.
The Washington Post's Dave Weigel wrote [1] that Fox News has given "glowing coverage" to Burns, who has used the conservative media to help him "out-fundraise [2] Democratic candidate Mark Critz." The New Republic's Amy Crawford wrote [3] that "volunteers have come from out of town after learning about Burns on conservative websites and from Fox News."
Weigel noted that "Hannity got an exclusive pre-election night interview with Burns [on May 17] in which he lobbed the candidate questions he didn't have to struggle to answer." On April 26, Tucker Carlson guest hosted for Hannity and interviewed Burns. At the conclusion of the softball segment, Burns said, "thanks for having me and if you want to help check my Web site out at www.timburnsforcongress.com [4]." Carlson replied, "Amen."
Hannity's program isn't alone in boosting Burns' campaign:
- Contributor Newt Gingrich. Gingrich appeared at an April event in Latrobe [5] for Burns, who he calls [6] the "next Scott Brown." VIP tickets [7] to the event cost $4,800 per person. Gingrich also touted [8] Burns on Glenn Beck's radio program, Sean Hannity's April 23 Fox News program [9] and the May 16 edition of Fox News Sunday. On Hannity, Gingrich said he "was in the true Pennsylvania last night with Tim Burns, who was a great young candidate" and criticized Burns' Democratic opponent. On FNS, Gingrich said that "Burns is probably going to win in Pennsylvania as a Republican, which is a very important special election." In his April 28 newsletter [6], Gingrich urged people "to donate to his campaign and find other ways" to "help" Burns. During the May 18 edition [10] of Fox & Friends, Gingrich also touted Burns' campaign as one that "really matter[s]."
- Contributor Rick Santorum. Santorum's political action committee, America's Foundation, has donated [11] $2,000 to Burns. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported [12] on April 18 that Santorum pitched Burns to tea partiers in Pennsylvania:
Speaking to a crowd of more than 1,000 tea party conservatives, Santorum, now with Fox News, implored his listeners to get involved in the campaign of Republican Tim Burns against Democrat Mark Critz for the seat in Congress left vacant by the death of John Murtha. 'This race is your moment,' Santorum said. 'This is your time to be a true patriot. I beg you to give that last measure of devotion. Get involved in that election.'
- Host and contributor Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin wrote an April 26 Facebook post [13] in support of Burns. Palin wrote: "I'm proud to offer my support to Tim Burns in his campaign to bring real job creation to Pennsylvania's 12th district. Please join me in supporting his campaign. Visit Tim's website here [14], and follow him on Facebook [15] and Twitter [16]."
- Contributor Dana Perino. On the April 14 edition [17] of Hannity, Perino praised Burns as an example of an "an interesting young conservative." Perino added: "There's a lot of new blood. A lot of good ideas and they are putting them forward."
REPORT: Fox Newsers rally for GOP in more than 300 instances and in nearly every state [18]

How much are you carrying? That will have a major effect on what packing scheme works best. I find that when going moderately light (15-20 pound base) I like to go with front panniers only. With a little more (20-25 pound base) I go with front panniers and the tent on the rear rack. If I were to go heavy again I'd use 4 panniers
It is nearly a month since this woman posted her initial question, and she has yet to decide even the type of bike she should buy. I suggested she concentrate on that....
In Scandinavian countries you are typically allowed to have 5-6 weeks of vacation (25-30 working days). I mean paid vacation. And you get it from day 1 and everybody is entitled - even people without any sort of education.
That sounds great - and most Americans would love that.
But personal income taxes are at 50-60%. So yes, at least half of your pay check goes straight to the state. And gasoline costs 7,60 dollars a gallon at the pump. And 1 kWh costs the equivalent of 40 cents. I guess that all systems have advantages and disadvantages.
Uh-oh, did I just feed the obsession?Haha You sure did!
I agree that if you are buying a new bike for touring, your best bet is to buy a touring bike. But if you look for a bike that will do everything well, you'll never buy a bike at all, or you'll have a bike that will do nothing well.

No. There is no regulation that says your dog has to wear a certain color of service vest or cape. Blue and Red vests are our most popular. We encourage you to pick a few colors that best fits you and your service dog's style.
What is a Service Dog?
Service Animal Definition: The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to perform tasks related to the owner's disability identified by the ADA. A service animal is not a pet. If your Service Dog is a well behaved, it cannot be excluded from a business. For all the information regarding Service Animals, visit the ADA website.
This definition does not affect or limit the broader definition of "assistance animal" under the Fair Housing Act or the broader definition of "service animal" under the Air Carrier Access Act. Some State and local laws also define service animal more broadly than the ADA does. Information about such laws can be obtained from the State attorney general's office, or by visiting the ADA website.
What is a Therapy Dog?
A Therapy animal gives its heart to making people feel better. A Therapy Dog gives smiles and hope to people in hospitals and long-term nursing care, children who need extra love, to shut-ins, and to anyone who needs the caring only a dog can give.

Jesenia - from Concord, CA
All-purpose flour is a blend of high-gluten hard wheat and low-gluten soft wheat in a combination suitable for baking a wide range of recipes, from breads, cookies and pie crusts to delicate cakes. Wheat grown in different parts of the country may produce different amounts and types of gluten. Nationally-available brands of flour take this into account, and will blend the types of wheat in different ways so that the end baked product will be consistent any time you make it. Lower-priced store brands may not always make these adjustments, but the difference in you baked goods may or may not be noticeable. We recommend that if cost is a concern, use the lower-priced flour and see if you like the results! You probably won't notice much difference!

It's so sad that they keep airing these ads when Apple is just destroying them in sales. Maybe they should go after someone in their own league say HTC or ummm. Blackberry.
Oh and Samsung if your phones are so good then why are you releasing a Galaxy S III just a couple of months after the Galaxy S II' release
Whatever Samsung is doing with their advertisement tactics....WHO CARES?? It's obviously working or they wouldn't be doing it anymore. And whenever it ceases to become effective i'm sure they'll abandon that campaign as well. Apple is doing just fine and this site just reported the gargantuan amount of profit that Apple made last quarter....so honestly.....what the hell do Apple fans care about what Samsung is doing?
Don't worry about what Samsung is doing with their advertising. Whining about how their commercials are repetitive isn't going to solve anything. Let them keep doing it and being in Apple's shadow and just focus on APPLE-RELATED news.
This is old news... Saw this ad weeks ago.
"What was funny at first now seems dull and expected " and this isnt the same for apple? i know this site has a bias towards apple, but dont call the kettle black
I hate how y'all can't ever seam to post a video link that works on iPhones cause I never go to this site on my laptop only iPhone app
It sends you to this:
An says page doesn't exist dangit

Which would be coded as
[URL="http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?bmb=1&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D4tmEegvUpGA &gl=US&v=4tmEegvUpGA"[/URL]
On iPhones
Why doesn't what I just said above the quote show up on my iPhone after I hit save but it does on a laptop?
These were always stupid. Not to mention the obvious "flaws" that they are showing and the predictability of the commercials. They should have stopped before they even started.
The first one was quite funny when I saw it... Reminded me of the PC vs. Mac commercials Apple had... but I expected a little more creativity with the subsequent ads... poking fun at apple or apple users should be ripe with possibilities... what ad agency did these? will have to make sure not to hire them.
they could have gone after siri... or even drudged up antennagate... or played on the fact the apple carries samsung built components inside...
anyway the S II looks great, but i just upgraded my old 3G to a 4S instead, and i'm very happy with it.
Obviously you know nothing about business or marketing...
Also, I think you need a dictionary, because: Couple | Define Couple at Dictionary.com
Probably because they are innovative, thats why they release many different types of android. Had the iPhone 4 and 3G and I can tell you I am very happy with their phone. Not to mention the crap service you get with ATT. Not going to get a damn phone like the iPhone 4s just because its the hottest thing when the service is utterly crap. At least I won't be having to jailbreak or have no problems getting unlocked for free. Tell me you can do that with an iPhone at any time. Don't be such a fan boy with the iPhone, its not work all the hype bro.
Are their phones to big to fit in their pockets? I bet the actors in this ad in real life they all have Iphones. someone should stalk them and take a picture of them with the iphone and post it
Ugh. Is phone bashing the new racism? I'm sick of that one too.
My mom wanted the iphone 4s or the 4 so i told her I have the 4 and ill trade with her for the samsung skyrocket, done deal got 4g service unlimited data plan since i been with att for 14 years and have the unlimited plan since cingular palm touch phones and i am extremely happy with my skyrocket =)
P.S 1.75 GHZ custom rom, with sooooo many customizations its just a dream

Marriage Within the United States
Adjustment of Status under the Immigration and Nationality Act is the process of changing an individual's non-immigration status to Immigrant Status (Green Card) as long as the individual was inspected, admitted or paroled in the United States. Adjustment of Status applications occur in both employment based and family based cases. To adjust, an Immigrant Visa must be readily available and current based on the Applicant's Priority Date and Current Visa Bulletin Schedule, and the Applicant must be eligible and otherwise admissible.
In some cases, the Adjustment of Status Applicant may be eligible for employment authorization and advanced parole (travel outside the US) while the Adjustment of Status is pending. However, there are many potential issues affecting eligibility to adjust status including:
- Preconceived Intent Issues;
- Medical Issues
- Criminal & Conviction Issues
- Inspection Issues
- Moral Turpitude Issues
- Overstay and Unlawful Presence
- Fraud Issues
- H1B Portability Issues
Overstay Visa Problems, Adjustment of Status & Marriage to a US Citizen
A common problem associates with adjustment of status application is that a person previously admitted into the US on a valid visa or a visa waiver program and to overstay past their authorized date of stay or the I-94 expiry date. Generally speaking, Immigration and Nationality Act provides that persons staying longer than 180 days past their authorized date are subject to a 3 year bar or, if in excess of 1 year are subject to a 10 year bar. The so-called 3 or 10 year bar means that once the overstayed person leaves the United States, he or she is not allowed to enter the United States until the 3 or 10 year bar ends.
However, having an Immediate Relative sponsor such as a US Citizen Spouse or a qualified US Citizen child, an Immigrant Visa is generally available, unless there are other inadmissibility issues involve.

Omni Daily News
Stopped at customs?: Readers outside of Canada might wonder if even one such case exists, when most of the names on their list, even a homegrown institution like David Adams Richards, are virtually unknown south of the border, but Alex Good and Steven W. Beattie have posted a parlor-game provocation called the "10 Overrated Canadian Authors." By following up with a well-chosen companion list of the 10 Underrated Canadian Authors, they've added some light to the heat, and I'd recommend checking out their underrated writers: I'll second their nominations of Bill Gaston, Lynn Coady, and Russell Smith. Coady's Saints of Big Harbour is sharp and funny and contains one of my favorite opening paragraphs in all of literature, and I agree that Smith's Muriella Pent, which still has yet to find an American publisher, is "hands down one of the best Canadian novels of the new century." Or one of the best North American novels, for that matter.
Who reads? Who writes? Who gets reviewed?: Speaking of light rather than heat, Laura Lippman (whose I'd Know You Anywhere is one of our Best of August picks, by the way) checks in with one of the more useful and fact-filled entries in the #franzenfreude debate spurred by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner's frustration with the wall-to-wall Franzmania this month:
One last thought: All fiction is women's fiction. Women's fiction is redundant. At the launch for my new book last week, I had an audience of 130 people and 120 of them were women. "Isn't that weird?" someone asked. I said: "I think it's wonderful."
The backlash begins: As I was pulling all those glowing quotes on Freedom for OMM, I had a bit of the feeling that tsunami witnesses describe of the water pulling away and exposing vast stretches of beach before the giant wave arrives. All this praise and hype (mostly deserved in my book, as I've said before, though inevitably preposterous) can't help but draw a skeptical response. And now the first major pan arrives, from yesterday's video star Ron Charles, who in a review today that's full of post-Franzmania even before the book's been published, calls Freedom "brilliant" but argues "Franzen's wit has mostly boiled away, leaving a bitter sludge of dysfunction."
Back when hogs were really wild: On its 40th anniversary, Dwight Garner in the Times pulls the "primal witchery" of James Dickey's novel Deliverance away from the distracting glare of the Burt Reynolds/Ned Beatty pic and Dickey's own personal excesses: "But Dickey's moral awareness infuses this book with grainy life; guilt and blame are not easily assigned.... In 2010, it's lonely work looking for its serious successors."
Moving and shaking: Tina Brown called Juliet Nicolson's The Great Silence: Britain from the Shadow of the First World War to the Dawn of the Jazz Age a "must-read" today on Morning Edition, and it's #2 in Movers & Shakers as I type.

The cluster of differentiation (CD) system is commonly used as cell markers in immunophynotyping. Different kinds of cells in the immune system can be identified through the surface CD molecules which associating with the immune function of the cell. There are more than 320 CD unique clusters and subclusters have been identified. Some of the CD molecules serve as receptors or ligands important to the cell through initiating a signal cascade which then alter the behavior of the cell. Some CD proteins do not take part in cell signal process but have other functions such as cell adhesion. CD154, also known as CD40 ligand or CD40L, is a member of the TNF superfamily. While CD154 was originally found on T cell surface, its expression has since been found on a wide variety of cells, including platelets, mast cells, macrophages and NK cells. CD154's ability is achieved through binding to the CD40 on antigen- presenting cells (APC). In the macrophage cells, the primary signal for activation is IFN-γ from Th1 type CD4 T cells. The secondary signal is CD40L on the T cell, which interacting with the CD40 molecules, helping increase the level of activation.

HRTV (R), The Network for Horse Sports, will present a special edition of "The Edge" this Sunday, May 25 at 8:30 p.m. ET, which will preview Monday's (Memorial Day) anticipated mandatory distribution of the 20-Cent Rainbow Pick 6 from Gulfstream Park.
The half-hour show will be co-hosted by Kurt Hoover and Michelle Yu, and the pair will thoroughly analyze the entire six-race sequence (races five through 10), while offering selections and specific betting strategies.
Additional selections from HRTV on-air talent will be available on "Race Day America" Monday morning (Noon ET). They may also be accessed via HRTV.com.
The 20-Cent Rainbow Pick 6 is multi-race wager -- which requires one sole winning ticket to annex the jackpot -- and has remained unclaimed throughout the meeting.
If it remains that way through Gulfstream Park's Saturday and Sunday racing cards, there will a mandatory multi-million dollar pool which must be paid out in full, regardless whether there's one winning ticket or multiple winning selections. The final pool is expected to balloon near the $16 million mark.

Bethesda, Md. • Roberto Castro went from a share of the lead to five shots behind in three holes. He finished the third round of the AT&T National by hitting a 5-iron left of the 18th green and into the water. And he still managed to be part of a four-way tie for the lead.
"Wild day," he said.
Not just for Castro. It was like that for just about everyone Saturday at Congressional.
Bill Haas hit a wedge into the water and made triple bogey on the 11th hole to fall five shots behind. Four holes and three birdies later, he had the outright lead. He was helped by Andres Romero, who squandered a three-shot lead in two holes by hitting his tee shot into a creek.
With all that action, James Driscoll must have felt as if he missed out on all the fun. All he did was post his third straight round in the 60s to join the leaders.
Castro put the perfect finishing touch on a theatrical afternoon by taking his penalty drop from the water on No. 18 and chipping in from 80 feet for par. That enabled him to salvage an even-par 71 and claim a share of the lead with Haas (68), Driscoll (68) and Romero, who closed with six pars for a 70.
"Saving a bogey would have been huge," Castro said. "Making a par is just a bonus."
They were at 7-under 206, which means next to nothing not with 10 players separated by three shots going into the final round, with seven of those players looking for their first PGA Tour victory.
U.S. Women's Open
Inbee Park is one round from making history by winning the first three majors of the year.
The top-ranked Park has a four-stroke lead through three rounds at the U.S. Women's Open in Southampton, N.Y. She shot 1-under 71 on Saturday in harsh conditions at Sebonack and is 10 under for the tournament.
Fellow South Korean I.K. Kim shot 73 to remain in second but lost two strokes to Park. With the wind whipping, the greens fast and the pin placements tricky, Park was the only player to shoot under par for the round.
Champions Tour
Fred Couples shot an 8-under 62 to take a four-shot lead over John Huston at the midway point of the Senior Players Championship in Pittsburgh.
Couples finished the rain-delayed second round at Fox Chapel Golf Club early Saturday morning with a 36-hole score to 12 under. It's the second straight year the Hall of Famer has taken the lead at the midway point of one of the Champions Tour's biggest events.

Dialectic Behavior Therapy is the primary approach used in treating those who restrict or binge. This addictive cycle can be overcome if client's are willing to complete homework assignments and work with their treatment team. Body image issues have become more common in the American culture due to the unrealistic portrayal of women in the media. It is my goal to increase women's awareness of the negative messages that are received on a daily basis and help them to listen to their body as if it were their best friend.

They've bludgeoned each other for four games and they will for at least two more.
But the more the Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies have at each other, the less pure basketball tactics will make a difference.
In tonight's Game 5 of the best-of-7 Western Conference playoff series, mind over matter figures to trump anything out of a playbook in the Staples Center clash.
"The biggest thing is a sense of urgency is going to be the key," Clippers guard Chauncey Billups said. "They played desperate basketball, now it's our turn. We have to make a few adjustments, but it's our turn now to play with a sense of urgency."
The first-round series has been a classic case of NBA playoffs through the years. The teams are seeded fourth and fifth, and the team playing at home has been the aggressor and the victor. It's no sur
prise the series stands at 2-2, especially after they went the full seven a year ago.
How close are these teams? To a man, they'll point out the one physical matchup that has illustrated the direction of this series, and it's rebounding.
Win the rebound battle, win the game. And a closer look at the four games shows the margin of rebounding is eerily close to the margin of the final score.
In Game 1, the Clippers led in rebounds by 24 and won by 21 points. In Game 2, the Clippers had two more rebounds than the Grizzlies - and won by two.
Back in Memphis, the Grizzlies held a 45-33 rebounding advantage and won Game 3 by 12 points. In Game 4, the Grizzlies' rebound edge was 17 and they won by 21 (and they were up 100-83 with 1:37 left.Of course, this doesn't always apply, considering the Lakers outrebounded San Antonio in Game 4 of that debacle of a series. But it's serious stuff to the Clippers and Grizzlies. "It's been interesting - whoever's won the rebound battle has won the game," the Clippers' Jamal Crawford said after Monday's practice. "Whoever's scrappy and aggressive usually comes out on top. We did the first two games, I thought they did the last two. "The Clippers' most potent weapon, the transition game, goes nowhere without being triggered by rebounds.
Their main target is Memphis forward Zach Randolph, who averaged 13 points and six rebounds in the first two games and 25.5 points and 10 rebounds in the two Memphis games. Then there's center Marc Gasol, who had nine rebounds in the first two games combined and 21 in his two home games.
"It's tough," Clippers guard Chris Paul said. "It would be hard to find another big-man combination like that in the league. They're like two old-school big guys who bang and different things like that.
"It's going to take a collective unit, all of us. We can't just put all of it on our big guys. Us guards have got to get in there and bang with them, and then we've got to run 'em. Those first couple games here, we managed to get them in foul trouble.
"Zach's getting on the glass. Zach's one of those guys - he'll throw it up there and he knows he's going to make it or miss it. He's not very athletic, but he knows how to get position. We've got to make him uncomfortable."
Though the teams both won 56 games this season, the Clippers earned the home court advantage by winning three of the four head-to-head matchups. Since the two clubs know just about everything they need to know about each other, any little edge could turn this series.
Sure, there have been constant tweaks in strategies as the series goes on and there will be more tonight. The Clippers had a long film study session Monday and while that never hurts, they didn't need any pointers on the X and O side.
"I'm not sure we learned anything more," Crawford said. "We just reinforced what we already knew - the importance of every possession."
Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro understands that, too.
"There's things you can do, but at the end of the day you've got to find a way to have the intensity level up, know what they're running," he said.
"But now, we should know every play and every option off of it and what we want to take out. It's a matter of locking in and seeing and recognizing those things as quickly as possible."
If they don't, they just might be flying back to Memphis for Thursday's Game 6 with the home-court advantage fumbled away.
"It's the biggest game of the season for us. We've got to win this game," Paul said. "Right now, it's win or go home.
"We've got to win. "


text: NEW YORK ( The Deal) --U.S. antitrust regulators Wednesday unveiled a new tool aimed at helping them share information they obtain from merging parties and others subject to civil antitrust investigations with their counterparts in other countries. Federal Trade Commission chairwoman Edith Ramirez said the guidance will not only make life easier for antitrust officials, but help merging companies and others subject to competition investigations because it will better facilitate consistent decisions across the various jurisdictions. The waiver policy was announced by the FTC and the Department of Justice shortly after Ramirez delivered remarks to the Georgetown University Law School's Global Antitrust Enforcement Symposium. In her remarks, Ramirez outlined the challenges regulators face coordinating merger reviews as merger control regimes have been set up in more than a hundred countries. The guidance comes in the form of a model language for waivers that parties under investigation would sign if they agree to give up some of their statutory confidentiality protections with U.S. officials. If the parties agree to the waivers, U.S. officials may share information they've obtained with antitrust regulators in other countries. The model waiver is necessary, Ramirez said, to bring consistency and efficiency to the waiver process. "The provision of waivers has entailed lengthy negotiations that result in inconsistent terms, even between the U.S. agencies. This process has sometimes frustrated effective cooperation," she said. U.S. officials have actively promoted greater use of waivers. Former acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Sharis Pozen several times promoted greater use of waivers while she was the DOJ's top antitrust enforcer in 2011 and 2012. Antitrust lawyers for merging parties are a bit less enthusiastic about granting waivers, however. Although waivers are becoming very prevalent, merging companies often grant them only because they want to stay on antitrust regulators' good side. Many antitrust lawyers advise clients to grant waivers only when doing so won't hurt or may even help them getting merger approval. They caution that a relatively small portion of mergers benefit from cross-border collaboration between regulators because different competitive issues are raised from country to country. But Ramirez said cooperation between regulators is becoming increasingly important with the proliferation of merger control regimes.
