These are the award-winning blocks that can be rearranged to play a million different melodies, teaching children about music, shapes, and colors. A recipient of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Blue Chip Classic Award, it consists of five blocks that can be placed in any order into the sturdy base. Each side of each block plays a different phrase of music when pressed, while hitting the big red button on the front runs through all five phrases in sequence.

The volume is adjustable, and each block is a different primary color, with different shapes on each side to teach toddlers these basics. Includes four AA batteries.

A wonderful Christmas gift
By Kid willy
from Summerville,SC
Great gift for great grand son.
Engaging toy
By AKL
from Chicago, IL
My 2-yr-old loves this toy. He loves pointing out the different colors and shapes and changing the cubes around to change the musical sequence. As a parent, I like this toy because it teaches him shapes, colors and musical phrasing. Plus, the volume is reasonable (why is the default volume on childrens' toys always so loud?).

Say that I override the paint method in a class that extends JPanel, like this:
Will the drawImage method draw the entire image even if it is outside of the frame bounds? Or does it automatically draw the parts of the image that actually are inside the frame? When creating GUI applications I usually create a JFrame with a JPanel of the same size in it. I'm asking because I'm working on something that draws a huge image which moves around and I would like to know if it efficient or not.Code:public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawImage(anImage, 0, 0, null);
If this is unclear, I'm sorry, but please to try answer the question if you think you know the answer. I'm not really sure how to ask.

It's time for ABC's Thursday night duo of drama, and we've got the scoop on what to expect on Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.
At Seattle Grace Hospital, Meredith and Lexie are distracted by the return of their father, Thatcher. The good news is, he's not drunk. The bad news? His liver is giving out, which leaves Meredith fighting to save her father's life.
Cristina finds herself on an unusual surgery after McSteamy gets fed up with her uber competitive nature, and after a bear scare at the trailer, Alex tries to talk Izzie into moving back in with Meredith. Iz isn't hearing it. Set on moving forward, she bonds with a cancer patient, sharing her insider secrets on getting the best care.
Private Practice finds Violet less ready to move on. On the mend physically, she's still traumatized by the attack that almost killed her and her baby. Pete's camped out with her, but we still don't know who the baby Daddy is.
Meanwhile, at the office, Sam is anxious to fill the vacancy left by Naomi, who's now working for the competition. Sam and Addison agree to embrace denial as their coping mechanism during this time of change, but that method isn't going well for Coop and Charlotte, who are drowning in their own denial.

By DENISE LAVOIE, AP
50 minutes ago
BOSTON School officials in western Massachusetts didn't follow all the anti-bullying advice they were given months before a harassed freshman girl committed suicide, according to a consultant who offered the tips.
Barbara Coloroso said she consulted with parents and administrators months before 15-year-old Phoebe Prince hanged herself in January. Authorities say she endured months of verbal assaults and threats, mostly in school and in person, although some of the bullying occurred on Facebook and in other electronic forms.
"The questions to ask are: Did they follow their own rules and did they keep Phoebe safe? Obviously not. And, did they deal effectively with the bullies? Obviously not," Coloroso told The Associated Press Tuesday.
Nine fellow students face charges in connection with the girl's death, including two teen boys charged with statutory rape and a clique of girls charged with stalking, criminal harassment and violating Phoebe's civil rights. School officials won't be charged, even though authorities say they knew about the bullying.
School officials have not returned messages left by The Associated Press.
Northwestern District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel, who announced the charges Monday, said the events that occurred between September and Phoebe's death Jan. 14 were "the culmination of a nearly three-month campaign of verbally assaultive behavior and threats of physical harm."
Scheibel said the case is still under investigation and that one other person could be charged. It's unknown whether the teens who have been charged have attorneys.
Schiebel refused to discuss the circumstances of the rape charges.
No school officials are being charged because they had "a lack of understanding of harassment associated with teen dating relationships," and the school's code of conduct was interpreted and enforced in an "inconsistent" way, Scheibel said.
"Nevertheless, the actions or inactions of some adults at the school are troublesome," she said.
Phoebe was born in Bedford, England and moved to County Clare, Ireland, when she was 2. She moved last summer to South Hadley because the family had relatives there.
Her family has since moved away and could not immediately be located for comment.
(This version DELETES old comments from an anti-bullying expert that were incorrectly attributed to the AP.)
Stuff like this really saddens me. Over the years I have really changed the way I act towards bullies. I used to just sit there, and watch others get bullied being too scared to bring the attention upon myself. However, today I really try to make an effort to stick up for anyone when they are getting mistreated like this. I think it is important to understand people do take things differently, and some people cannot take much harassment before they resort to measures like she did. That is why it is best to follow the golden rule: To treat everyone how you would like to be treated.

text: I find myself in new summer camp territory this year. My 9 year old is old enough for sleep away camp, but her mother… ahem…isn't quite ready to send her off.

Jonathan- Yeah, that's the new oxford.
Nah, those cargos are pretty slim. I was real surprised when I tried them on at my local Army Navy. The details are killer too: reinforced seat, ankle drawstrings, button fly. Head down to your own local joint and try some stuff on, you'll be really suprised.

African-Americans and individuals without private health insurance are less likely than others to receive a kidney transplant before requiring dialysis, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (CJASN). The findings indicate that efforts are needed to ensure the equitable distribution of donor kidneys and the timing of transplantation.
While kidney transplantation is the best available therapy for kidney failure, demand for donor kidneys far exceeds the supply. The longer transplant candidates wait while on dialysis, the worse they do after receiving a transplant. In some areas of the country, the average kidney transplant candidate can wait six years on dialysis before receiving a deceased donor organ. Elsewhere, patients can receive transplants preemptively, or before dialysis is even required.
Morgan Grams, MD (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine) and her colleagues examined information from all adult first-time deceased donor kidney transplant recipients in the US between 1995 and 2011, classifying them as preemptive, early (on dialysis for one year or less), or late recipients.
Among the major findings:
• Preemptive recipients were 9% of the total recipient population.
• Patients with private insurance or a previous (nonkidney) transplant were more likely to receive a preemptive deceased donor kidney transplant.
• African Americans were 66% less likely than Caucasians to receive a preemptive deceased donor kidney transplant.
• Overall, patients transplanted preemptively had similar survival compared with patients transplanted within one year after initiating dialysis.
"We found that, while some regions performed deceased donor preemptive transplants more than others, region was not a big factor in determining preemptive transplant rates," said Dr. Grams. "Rather, we were struck by the disparities by race and insurance type: African American were much less likely to receive kidney transplantation prior to requiring dialytic support, as were those with public or no insurance," she added.
The authors noted that given the long wait times for deceased donor kidneys and the fairly comparable survival between patients transplanted preemptively and those transplanted within one year after initiating dialysis, the value of preemptive transplantation from a societal standpoint may be low.
Study co-authors include B. Po-Han Chen, ScM, Josef Coresh, MD, PhD, and Dorry Segev, MD PhD.

If a comrade of ours opens a Jewish newspaper in the morning and does not find himself vilified there, then he has spent yesterday to no account. For if he had achieved something he would be persecuted, slandered, derided and abused. Those who effectively combat this mortal enemy of our people, who is at the same time the enemy of all Aryan peoples and all culture, can only expect to arouse opposition on the part of this race and become the object of its slanderous attacks. - Mein Kampf, p. 200

In order to keep time properly,
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime # date Sun Feb 16 08:26:44 CET 2003
In most Gentoo Linux installations, your system clock is set to
UTC (or GMT, Greenwhich Mean Time) and then your timezone is
taken into account to determine the actual, local time. If,
for some reason, you need your system clock not to be in UTC,
you will need to edit
recommended: CLOCK="UTC"or: CLOCK="local"
The next step is to set the LANG shell variable, which
is used by your shell and window manager (and some other
applications). Valid values can be found in
export LANG="de_DE@euro"
The keyboard layoud used by the console is set in
KEYMAP="de" KEYMAP="de-latin1" KEYMAP="de-latin1-nodeadkeys"
The keyboard layout to be used by the X server is specified
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" ... Option "XkbLayout" "de" # Option XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" ...
In order to get your console to display the Euro symbol, you
will need to set CONSOLEFONT in
Getting the Euro symbol to work properly in X is a little
bit tougher. The first thing you should do is change the
fixed and variable definitions in
fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-15 variable -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
Some applications use their own font, and you will have to
tell them separately to use a font with the Euro symbol. You
can do this at a user-specific level in
(in your home directory) $ echo 'XTerm*font: fixed' >> .Xresources $ xrdb -merge .Xresources
To use the Euro symbol in (X)Emacs, add the following to
Emacs.default.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15
For XEmacs (not plain Emacs), you have to do a little
more. In

In Korea we had an M-47 tank go airborne on us. How is it possible that a a tank can fly, you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you, and tell you true, how it is that almost 50,000 pounds of tank can take off like a bird. Korea, winter of 1960-1961, we were on a division (first cav) winter field exercise, and this particular night it was 26 below zero. The crew of the M-47 was trying to stay warm in a tank with no functional heaters. We used to make heaters and stoves by mostly filling a C-ration can with sand, and filling the gaps with gasoline. The vapors rising past the sand made an excellent heater, or stove, or whatever. This tank had just had the fuel tanks topped off with gasoline. One of the crew members was shifting his weight and kicked over the C-ration can heater. When the burning gas started running under the bulkhead they hit the fire extinguishers and they didn't work either. The crew, un-assing that tank, looked like five green blurs. The tank was carrying seventy four rounds of 90mm, of various types, about thirty rounds of 90mm blanks, and several thousand rounds of 30 cal and 50 cal, live and blanks. After the fuel tanks ignited, all everyone could figure was the interior of the tank was super heated, and cooked off all that ordinance at one time. The tank took off like a big assed bird, straight up, about thirty feet, and when it landed the only thing left was the turret and hull. The engine and transmission were gone and the axle shafts were sheared off flush with the inside of the hull. The M-47 had a machine gun that fired through the front of the hull, and it had a leather boot to keep the weather out. The leather boot and about eleven inches of the gun barrel were lying in place. The inch thick floor was rolled back like a sardine can lid, which is where every thing exited the tank. The range finder was found buried in a hill a quarter mile in front of the tank. The breech of the main gun was bent up at about a ten degree angle. Everywhere something was attached to inside of the turret or hull was shiny metal, like the thing was shaved off with a razor. I was over a fourth of a mile away when it happened, and it rocked my world.
I had photos of that, and an M-48 that ran over a Russian Box mine about fifty yards from me. But, I'm sorry, that was i961, a long time ago. Floods, shed fires, and age makes me have not the foggiest idea what happened to them. You should have seen the crew of that M-48. They ran for ten minutes, and it took them half a day to walk back. All it did was break a track and knock a fender of. For anti-tank purposes they used to stack those mines, but this one was in a creek bed and had probably washed down from somewhere else. I was sitting in my truck, about half asleep, reading a book when it popped. It sure got my attention.
Reminds me of the tragedy that my task force sustained during Desert Storm the only two casualties we had was when two soldiers were heating up mre's in the sqaud stove stove fell over inside M113 and onto a case of AT-4 rockets and exploded
Isn't it wild? It seems the more avoidable the incident, the nastier the consequences. When our M-47 tanks were replaced with M-48 tanks a rash of accidents happened, with one fatality that I know of. The accelerator and brake pedal were reversed from the old tank to the new. concerning the fatality. A column of tanks stopped, and a crewman from the lead tank jumped to the ground at the rear of his tank. The commander of the second yelled for his driver to stop, and he hit the gas instead. The pointy nose of the M-48 pinned the guy's head to the back of the lead tank right at the base of his helmet.
Funny you should mention book. A couple of years ago a couple of friends and I did a silly little book making fun of stupid car names. I did the american car research, and all the illustrations. PM me and I'll send you a copy of that if you would like it. How about AN OLD FART REMINISCING for a title? I think a collection of thoughts from a number of people would be cool.
Back around 86-87 timeframe I was test driving one of our M-2 Bradleys out in the assembly area right behind our motor pool 1- 8th and noticed that there was an M-1 down at the east end apparently doing the same thing, but due to the amount of dust they kicked up and maybe the TC not watching where they where at they blew threw the large ravine that ran north and south. It just happened while I was facing that direction and just caught them going out of sight down into the ravine and boy O boy when they came out of it they where waaay up there. Id bet they had somewhere between six and ten feet of air under their clenched butts. When they finally made their landing both tracks broke and road wheels took off in every direction, taking out POVs that where parked back in the area between the east and west bound lanes. Had to have broken all the torsion bars cuz this thing was sitting on the hull. Im more than certain that they had to have been hurt cuz we all know that theres as much padding on the inside as there is on the outside ZERO!! Todd, out
August 31, 2005 Knock, knock, who's there? Boom! I recently complained about not usually getting approval to knock down houses. Well this time, at least, the request was approved. We went out today to destroy two suspected IED (Improvised Explosive Device / Roadside Bomb) trigger houses near where the humvee was hit yesterday {1 critical injury, 3 serious}. We brought along some of the members of the platoon that had the guys hurt so that they could get some satisfaction. The first house was stubborn, made out of bricks reinforced with concrete and steel beams. We fired grenades, anti-tank rockets, 7 tank main gun rounds, and several hundred machinegun rounds (both 7.62mm and .50 caliber). Still, it refused to fall, so we drove the tank up to the house and laboriously pushed each wall over. The second house was a sprawling building made out of mud-bricks with a mud roof. Each tank round removed a massive chunk of the house, so it fell within minutes. Both houses were extremely satisfying to knock over. Neither had anyone living in them. On the way back, we were scanning for roadside bombs and put a few rounds into suspicious sites (dirt mounds on the side of the road, etc.). Little did we know that the bomb planted for us was placed in the middle of the road. It was a small hole, circular, about 1 foot in diameter, cut right in the pavement's center. We didn't see it until we were upon it, whereupon it exploded. Our 70-ton behemoth bounced into the air, so that the right track didn't touch the ground for 30 feet. The tank slammed down, and the jolt knocked out all electrical power, though the engine continued to run. Inside the tank was momentary confusion from the shock. Our first priority was to make sure no one was injured, but the intercom system was out. Checking within the turret was easy, but it was only by the driver stopping the tank that we knew that he was also ok. Knowing that, we returned fire into any possible hiding places. A car, heavily laden, sped towards us at a high rate of speed, refusing to stop. The enemy has used suicide car bombs in the past and has coordinated attacks, so the conclusion was obvious. My tank commander shouted at me "shoot that car! shoot that car!" I couldn't see the car, because we were still in a cloud of smoke and my eyes wouldn't focus. After an unbelievably long delay, probably 5 seconds, my eyesight cleared up enough that I could make it out, so I pulled the trigger on my weapon. I only got off a few rounds before the ammo links broke. Looking down, I realized that all the ammo had been thrown out of my ammo can by the blast. I reloaded and fired again until the links broke, then again, and again. I put 200 rounds downrange into that car, a few rounds at a time. The humvee with us fired a handful of .50 caliber rounds and some rifle rounds into it as well. They quickly noticed wires running from the hole off to the side of the road, though, and they decided to investigate that instead. Looking through my binoculars, I could make out a man lying in the ditch next to the car. He wasn't moving. I crossed my fingers. In the distance, we heard a loud concussion. When we looked, we saw a cloud of black smoke rising above the convoy coming to assist us. Another bomb. This one missed though. It turns out that I took out every window in the car and put some holes in the door, but none of its passengers (4 total) were hit. They all dove out of the vehicle and hid in a ditch until someone came. Nothing incriminating was found in their vehicle, and they claimed that they were just oblivious to their surroundings. When questioned, they claimed that they knew nothing about the bomb planted within sight of their house. Furthermore, they claimed that there were no "Ali Baba" anywhere nearby, even though insurgents have planted a half-dozen massive roadside bombs and a car bomb within a kilometer of their abode. The medics checked us out when we got back. My tank commander had a small cut on his nose that gave him a vicious appearance. I had a small bruise on my shoulder and a headache. The driver had a mild concussion and a small amount of neck pain. The gunner mentioned nothing wrong. Even though it was late, the cooks had hot chow waiting for us. It felt good to get back to the safety of our base. Here's hoping that the tank is back operational quickly. Nothing is visibly wrong with it, it just doesn't work. Update: the tank was back up and the engine running within a few hours. All that was wrong was some tripped breakers and a damaged idler arm seal.

A PROGRAMMING NOTE: I hosted a live taping of the Savage Lovecast in Seattle on Valentine's Day, and it went great—thanks to all who came (especially to the five boys who left with butt plugs in their butts)—but I made the mistake of having a drink or five afterward, and I'm so fucking hungover right now that I shouldn't be sitting upright, much less giving advice. But deadlines are deadlines. So here we go...
I'm a 31-year-old genderqueer in Brooklyn with a large family on Long Island. My only sister got engaged 48 hours ago, and she's moving fast on planning the wedding. I have two questions.
Number one question: I texted my sister the only date I wasn't available in the next two years, which is Columbus Day weekend 2013. I have my 10-year college reunion, which I've been organizing. My sister texted me back that they picked this Columbus Day weekend for the wedding even though they have no idea if the places they want will be booked up. It quickly came out that they didn't check with anyone about potential conflicts. She wants me to be the maid of honor, and I'm not sure what to do. She's really upset with me. Columbus Day weekend is of no significance to them (it's not the anniversary of the date they met or anything), and I can't reschedule the reunion.
Number two question: I was born female but do not identify that way. I'm genderqueer and do not look like a girl. I have not worn a dress in 10 years and feel like I'm in drag in one. In the past, my sister said she would consider putting me in a pantsuit-ish kind of thing at her wedding, which would be great, but I am worried that now I'm rocking the boat too much with this Columbus Day thing and I don't know if I should just leave it alone. My girlfriend, who is very pretty and feminine, said if I had to wear a dress, she'd go in a suit and bow tie.
Dan, help! If for some reason my sister can't get her weekend, it will be because they're rushing and everything is booked, but I have already caused trouble! Is it worth it to fight for the pantsuit thing, or should I just leave it alone and do what she wants?
Thank You So Much
Number one answer: If your sister didn't check with anyone—not members of her immediate family, not members of her bridal party—about potential conflicts, then your sister should've anticipated that some of the folks wouldn't be able to attend. Folks who aren't getting married have lives and commitments of their own, which means they can have conflicts, and your sister could've worked around those conflicts if she had cared to ask about them. But she didn't care to ask, because she seems to be one of those brides-to-be who think an engagement ring on her finger puts her ass at the center of the universe. Here's hoping your sister can't get the venue she wants and has to reschedule. If that doesn't happen, TYSM, tell your sister you'll be with her in spirit and send a gift.
Number two answer: The fact that your sister has been engaged for 48 hours and is already furious with her maid-of-honor-elect is a bad sign. You'll be doing yourself, both families, and your sister a service if you stand up to her now. A little pushback now will either prevent your sister from going Bridezilla or get you dropped from the wedding party. You literally can't lose. So tell your sister now that you're delighted to be her maid of honor, if scheduling allows, and that you look forward to shopping for a pantsuit that matches her dress and the dresses of her bridal party. If she tells you that you have to wear a dress to be her maid of honor, TYSM, then it's clear that the dress is more important to your sister than the person wearing it, and you should tell her to find someone else to model it at her wedding.
A gay friend of mine is getting married in Seattle, and we're hoping to throw him a most excellent bachelor party. However, as a straight dude, I'm fairly clueless about gay strip clubs in the Seattle area. Can you please recommend one or two good ones?
Straight Best Man
There are no gay strip clubs in Seattle, SBM, I'm sorry to say. You can blame the Washington State Liquor Control Board for that sad fact. Adults in Seattle can look at naked people or they can have a drink, but they can't have a drink while looking at naked people. While there's enough demand for naked ladies in Seattle to make non-booze-servin' straight strip clubs economically viable, there isn't enough demand for naked boys to make gay strip clubs economically viable. (And people have tried.) There is, however, a great gay strip club in Portland, Oregon, called Silverado. If gay strippers are a must, plan a road trip as well as a bachelor party.
My boyfriend and I are talking about getting married, and I am incredibly excited about marrying this awesome dude. My problem is that my ideal engagement ring is something that looks nice but is cheap. Seriously, a $50 ring would be perfect. I don't want something expensive because (A) it'll make me paranoid about losing it/having it stolen, and (B) I'd rather use the money for something else, like a house. However, my guy wants to spend about a grand on an engagement/wedding ring set. Given his income, this is far from an outrageous expense, but I'd still rather have my $50 cubic zirconia. I've talked with him about this, and we joke about how the stereotypical roles are reversed here, with me being the one who wants to go cheap and him wanting something more. But he's holding fast. Any ideas how I might be able to get my way and make him see that he's my prize, not the jewelry?
Not A Ring Girl
The difference between the engagement ring you'd prefer and the ring set your fiancé wants to buy—$950—ain't nothin', NARG, but it's not enough to buy a fucking house. I could see digging in your heels if your fiancé wanted to spend twenty grand on a ring, as that kind of money would go a long way toward a down payment; I could see going to war if he was planning to go into debt to buy you a rock. But learning to pick your battles is the secret to a happy, successful marriage, NARG, and the difference between a $50 ring and a far from outrageous $1,000 ring set isn't worth fighting about. You want to make him see that he's your prize? Let him have his way on this.
My brother and his new wife had a three-way with a male hotel receptionist while on their honeymoon. I don't have a problem with three-ways in theory, but I think it's wrong to have one on your fucking honeymoon. I was their best man. What am I supposed to do now?

Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double-Blind Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase III, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled, Randomized Study of Creatine Monohydrate in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis |
- Change in upper extremity motor function after 3 weeks
- Change in upper extremity motor function after 9 months
- Acute changes in muscle strength
- Chronic changes in muscle strength
- ALS functioning
- Quality of life
- Pulmonary function
- Muscle fatigue.
Estimated Enrollment: | 107 |
Study Start Date: | June 2003 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | April 2005 |
Introduction: Twenty-one ALS patients were enrolled in a placebo controlled pilot study at the Carolinas Neuromuscular/ALS-MDA Center, The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and The University of New Mexico at Albuquerque. At all time points sampled over a nine month period, patients taking creatine monohydrate had either a significantly greater improvement in their strength or a more modest decline compared to the patients taking placebo. Overall analysis of variance is significant for both an effect of the drug (p=0.002) and time (p< 0.001).The pilot study also showed that quality of life, as measured by ALSFRS-R, correlated significantly with the observed changes in muscle strength (MVIC).
Phase III Study: The primary objective of this study is to determine whether treatment with creatine monohydrate results in an increase in muscle strength relative to placebo in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), after three months, and at the end of a nine-month treatment period.
The study is a Phase III, eight-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of creatine monohydrate in patients fulfilling the eligibility criteria. The subjects (n=156) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive treatment of highly purified creatine monohydrate or placebo (Dextrose, USP) for nine months. The subjects will be administered 10 grams of creatine monohydrate per day for the first five days, and then 5 grams per day thereafter. Each subject will be followed for the nine-month treatment period.
The primary outcome measure for the study is change in upper extremity motor function after three weeks, and at the end of a nine-month treatment period as tested by MVIC. Strength in ten arm muscles will be measured (bilateral shoulder and elbow flexion/extension and grip).
Patient safety will be assured by ongoing review of reports of adverse events, clinical laboratory data, and measurement of vital signs. These tests include: measurement of MVIC and muscle fatigue, measurement of FVC, completion of ALSFRS-R and SF-12 quality of life instruments, review of potential adverse effects, determination of vital signs and weight, serum creatinine and BUN, and urine dipstick for protein.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 21 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
- A clinical diagnosis of probable or definite lab-supported ALS, either SALS or FALS, according to modified El Escorial criteria.

A scary moment unfolded near the set of the "Today" show at Rockefeller Plaza Thursday morning when an emotionally disturbed man pulled out a knife and harmed himself.
The unidentified man in his 50s was ranting about something while in the crowd and then took a blade to his wrists and cut himself. He was tackled and subdued by the NBC security team and then taken in custody.
"Today" show host Matt Lauer reported about the incident on-air shortly after it happened around 7:50 a.m.
"He was controlled by our security team out there. However, he did harm himself in some way, so he's now being attended to by medical personnel," Lauer said, adding that the man said he intended only to harm himself and no one else in the crowd was injured.
Security crews and the New York City Police Department temporarily shut down parts of the Plaza until the situation was under control. The "Today" anchors were forced to move back inside to the studio while law enforcement investigated the scene.
Lauer also Tweeted about the unnerving incident Thursday morning: "All secure on the plaza after a scary incident. Thanks to our security team and the NYPD."
Then he added, "Sorry, a man attempted to harm himself with a knife. He is under police control. In custody."
The man's mental condition is being evaluated at a local hospital and his injuries are not life-threatening, according to the AP.

The first step in completing a Judicial Council Form is to see if the California Courts have developed a form for your exact legal problem. To view a list of Judicial Council Forms, click here.
If there is a Judicial Council form available for your exact legal problem, look at the small print in the bottom left corner of the form. If it says "mandatory", you must use that form. If it says "optional" you can use it, but it is not required.
If you cannot find a Judicial Council form for your exact legal problem, then you will have to type your own form on 28-line pleading paper in a very specific format. See California Rules of Court, starting with rule 2.100, for formatting requirements.
Pleading Paper

At Bouazizi Home in Tunisia, Mubarak Fall Cheered in Birthplace of Arab Protest
TUNIS - Guests poured into the house of Mohamed Bouazizi, the Tunisian vegetable seller whose suicide set off a chain reaction across the Arab world, to congratulate his family on Friday on the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
Bouazizi set himself on fire in December when police confiscated his goods and scales. His desperate act launched a wave of protests that toppled Tunisia's President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in January and helped inspire the popular uprising in Egypt. [ID:nLDE70J0B6]
Shortly after Mubarak's resignation was announced, an emotional Salem Bouazizi, Mohamed's brother, spoke with Reuters by telephone from the town of Sidi Bouzid.
"If Arabs truly appreciate Mohamed Bouazizi then they should always be free and reject dictatorships. I'm so proud that the Arab revolution started right here, from this house in Sidi Bouzid. We are extremely happy that Mubarak has left. Hundreds of people are visiting us to congratulate us," he said.
"I congratulate all Egyptians and I'm happy that they too will have their freedom after we too clinched ours. My brother Mohamed attempted suicide on a Friday, Dec. 17, Ben Ali fled on a Friday in January, and Mubarak quit on a Friday in February: three unforgettable months," he said.
In the capital Tunis, about 3,000 people gathered near the Egyptian embassy, carrying Palestinian, Egyptian and Tunisian flags and chanting: "One, two, three, viva democracy". (Editing by Mark Trevelyan)

But he'll be damned if he'll be remembered for letting congress raise the corporate average fuel economy mandates to 35 mpg! The industry is raising standards on their own, anyways. Haven't the Dems seen the Hybrid Escalade? Already, most of the major carmakers have said they felt the new standards would be a "stretch" and "difficult." The White House is also upset over a plan to roll back $16 billion in tax breaks for oil companies, who have clearly been suffering over the past few years. Where this might hit consumers is the possibility of reincentivizing the purchase of advanced technology through tax breaks. Of course, it's all still in the negotiation phase, so no one can be sure what's posturing and what's real.[Detroit News]Reply126 repliesLeave a reply

Same problem here using BT4 Pre-Release & ALFA AWUS036H
I was having the same problem as mosjka1. I have pretty much no experience writing or modifying drivers, but I decided to jump into this one. I found the build was crashing on line 778:
orgfsuid = current->fsuid
orgfsgid = current->fsgid
I made the (most likely unsafe, but it was for my own use) assumption that current->fsuid & current->fsgid where both 0 (root) by reading the comment on the line above in the code. I cleaned up the other two references to fsuid & fsgid and then I got past that file.
I then ran into another problem.
.../rt_main_dev.c:299: error: 'struct net_device' has not member named 'priv'.
I found that netdev->priv was killed off in 2.6.28. The replacement function is netdev_priv(), and went in quite a while ago. I went through rt_main_dev.c and made all the corrections.
Now I'm getting another error.
../rt_main_dev.c:536: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
../rt_main_dev.c:1200: error: lvalue required as left operand of assignment
Line 536 is: netdev_priv(net_dev) = 0;
Line 1200 is: netdev_priv(net_dev) = (PVOID)pAd;
At this point, I'm lost, but I'm working on it.

IRS Modernization:
Continued Progress Necessary for Improving Service to Taxpayers and Ensuring Compliance
GAO-03-796T: Published: May 20, 2003. Publicly Released: May 20, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Congress passed the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 in response to frustration with the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) inability to effectively carry out its mission. IRS's inability to deliver new computer systems that worked, allegations of abuse of taxpayers by IRS employees, and taxpayers greeted by busy signals when calling IRS for assistance all fed the frustration. The act set two goals for IRS--improve service to taxpayers while continuing to enforce compliance with the tax laws. The act also mandated annual joint congressional oversight hearings, of which this is the fifth and final.
IRS's accomplishments in the 5 years since the act was passed are significant. IRS has increased its capacity to manage with, for example, more effective controls over information system acquisition and better performance measures. In addition, the improvements have had a noticeable impact on service to taxpayers. Taxpayers have an easier time reaching IRS by telephone and are increasingly using IRS's Web site to download tax forms and publications and check the status of their refunds. Nevertheless, IRS is only part of the way to where taxpayers and Congress expect it to be. Compliance is perhaps IRS's greatest challenge looking forward. Although IRS lacks current data about the level of voluntary compliance, what is known is that there have been significant and pervasive declines in many of IRS's key compliance and collections programs. As a result of these declines, taxpayers have less incentive to voluntarily comply, thereby potentially undermining the integrity of the tax system and risking revenue collections. Reversing this decline will be a challenge. Another challenge will be closing the gap between the level and quality of taxpayer services that IRS provides and what Congress and taxpayers want and expect. Despite improvements, almost one-third of callers receive busy signals or hang up without receiving service, and almost 20 percent get incorrect answers to tax law questions. The means for realizing IRS's goals is continued progress modernizing, but this will be a challenge. The scope and complexity of the business systems modernization is growing, but management capacity is still maturing. Long-standing computer security weaknesses continue to threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive systems and taxpayer data. Performance, financial, and human capital management all need further improvement. IRS is also challenged to realize the increased staffing levels for service and compliance called for in recent IRS budget requests.

From best-selling ABA author Noel Hynd comes this new series set against the backdrop of Havana, an explosive capital city of faded charm locked in the past and torn by political intrigue. U.S. Treasury Agent Alexandra LaDuca leaves her Manhattan home on an illegal mission to Cuba that could cost her everything. Accompanying her is the attractive but dangerous Paul Guarneri, a Cuban-born exile who lives in the gray areas of the law. Together, they plunge into subterfuge and danger.
Without the support of the United States, Alex must navigate Cuban police, saboteurs, pro-Castro security forces, and an assassin who follows her from New York. Bullets fly as allies become traitors and enemies become unexpected friends. Alex, recovering from the tragic loss of her fiance a year before, reexamines faith and new love while taking readers on a fast-paced adventure. Readers of general market thrillers, such as John le Carre, David Baldacci, and Joel Rosenberg, will eagerly anticipate this first installment.

I am an avid mystery/thriller, historical fiction and political fiction listener. I listen while working (I am a remodeling contractor).
"Enjoyable, a bit predictiable, but entertaining."
Maybe, sometimes when I'm working my focas shifts a little and I miss some of what I'm listening to but I usually go back and pick it up. Some of the books I've listened to a second time are more enjoyable because I pick up on those lost segments.
I wanted more details. The details throughout the book were excellent but I found the ending lacking.
Hard to pick just one,but I think Paul was my favorite.
Yes and I almost made it.
I received my Kindle Fire for Christmas and discovered Audible almost immediately. I don't think I will ever read a book again. It is so wonderful to be able to listen to a great book while doing something else and not having to limit reading to the so prescious leasure time we have. Thanks Audible, you are my expensive habit.
Retired "Okie" librarian & happy to have found Audible for good stories & staying in touch with new authors & books.
"A good PG espionage/suspense novel."
The message of this novel for me is that the politics of Cuba/America is still locked somewhere between 1960's & 1970's. I enjoyed the action & politics, the characters, & the narrator. The story was told in such a way that if it were a film I would rate it PG. Yes, I recommend this book & if it is representative of the author 's style, I would buy another book in the series. I am happy to find another espionage writer who sticks with the story without throwing in explicit sex or gore.
I was comfortable with the narrator as I have listened to him before. His voice for the female lead was appropriate & not distracting. Also, Dick Hill's narration gave credence to the descriptive passages & male characters.
"Narrator made a huge difference"
Again, Hynd's LaDuca stories are great, but not for listening too. I'd much rather read and skip over the parts where he uses too much detail. And, Hill was a poor choice for a book with such a strong female lead.
"Pretty good story"
Yes, there were exciting segments where you didn't want to stop until that threat/challenge was resolved.
yes because the main perp was never apprehended
"Nothing to write home about"
A better narrator and (much) more substance to storyline. I found it to be pretty predictable and I stayed one jump ahead most of the time.
Didn't do a good job differentiating the characters. Also, I've listened to many stories where the narrator did both male and female characters but this guy just couldn't pull it off. I found his voice irritating no matter which character he was voicing.
To be honest, I couldn't get through the entire read. I may attempt to finish it someday . . . but I doubt it.

Improved Jobless Rates Could Endanger Benefits For Some Lower Unemployment Also Means Cuts In Benefits 6:17 AM, Mar 13, 2012 Share Article Indiana's unemployment rate has dropped and other monthly indicators are trending favorably for the state, but that could spell bad news for those still without jobs.The new jobless numbers show Indiana's January rate was 8.7 percent, 0.2 percentage points lower than the revised December figure, RTV6's Norman Cox reported.Indiana trailed the national figure by 0.4 percentage points, but it was better than any of the surrounding states except Ohio.Gov. Mitch Daniels is especially happy that the total workforce -- the combined number of people working and people actively looking for work -- had returned to its prerecession levels"We take this as a sign of the work ethic of Hoosiers. They want to work. They're looking for work," Daniels said. "I think it's also a sign of some optimism. They see enough activity to encourage those who are not already employed to get out and look."But the lower jobless rate isn't good news for everyone.Based on a three-year formula, Indiana no longer qualifies for the final 20 weeks of federal extended unemployment benefits.That means the most an unemployed Hoosier can now get is 79 weeks, instead of 99."They can claim benefits up until Sunday, April 15," said Valerie Kroeger, spokeswoman for Workforce Development.Kroeger explained that this isn't like other tiers of unemployment benefits where individuals can keep receiving payments until they exhaust their maximum number of weeks.Once this tier expires, payments stop right away."Extended benefits are a little different than the other tiers. It's an immediate cut-off date," she said.Many of the long-term unemployed who RTV6 talked with outside the East Side Work One office said they're concerned."I think it's going to probably make the crime rate rise up," one person said. "People are going to get more desperate, and they're going to do something. It's not a good thing at all."But others agree with Republican critics that 99 weeks is too much."Ninety-nine weeks is, that's two full years. Even though I still haven't been able to get a full-time job anyway," another person said.The state said about 10,000 Hoosiers currently receive benefits from that 20-week tier and will lose them next month.

Dental Anesthesia |
Novacaine Reaction01/25/2010 |
I went to the dentist a week and 1/2 ago for a procedure. When He was giving me the injection he said the syringe was leaking and asked for another one. I remember him swabbing the liquid from my tongue. Now, 8 days later I still have a tingling sensation on my tongue, not painful, but very uncomfortable. How long can I expect this to last and is there anything i can do?
This is unusual as there are rarely any permanent effects from local anesthetic topically applied, intentionally or otherwise, to the oral tissues. I would see your dentist to ensure there is not another concern here. This is unexpected.

Finishing The Right Way
He's made it clear that players are always playing for their jobs, so constant improvement is necessary. But the notion isn't just a one-way street; Hunter is expecting the same from himself.
"Yeah, just focus and continue to be better myself," Hunter said of his focus for the rest of the season. "I'm going to challenge myself and be challenged by my guys. Then I'm going to come back and challenge them, and they know that by now."
Not only does the coach want his team working hard in practices, shoot-arounds, games and during the odd hours, but he also wants them to enjoy it.
Drawing from 17 years of experience playing in the NBA, Hunter can talk about how hard he worked to remain in the league. He expects that out of his players. But he also expects success for them after they put in the work, which is where the enjoyment will come in.
"The season is not over," Hunter said. "Just because we're not going to the playoffs doesn't mean the season is over. We have five games left, and this is what we get paid to do.
"You should want to compete and enjoy it. You never get these years back, so you have to enjoy them."
Prior to the team's 5 p.m. game tonight in Houston, Hunter has stressed the enjoyment of the game to his players. Here are four other things to keep an eye on during this game against the Rockets:
Familiar Faces
The scouting department for the Houston Rockets should have a pretty easy job preparing for this version of the Suns.
Not only have the two teams played two games against each other already, but the Suns boast of three current players who were in Houston just a season ago.
This past offseason, Phoenix first brought back point guard Goran Dragic, who played for Head Coach Kevin McHale and the Rockets last season.
Then the Suns added power forward Luis Scola, who had played in Houston for all five of his seasons in the NBA before being amnestied.
Finally, the Suns' front office added forward Marcus Morris via a trade with the Rockets.
Prior to the first time he returned to Houston as a vistor in March, Scola discussed what the situation meant to him.
"It was a place where I spent a lot of time, and I'll be happy to see some familiar faces," Scola told Suns.com. "There are some emotions there when you're playing your former team, but I'm just going to go out and try to make it as normal as possible."
Missing Morris
In 11 of his first 15 games with the Phoenix Suns, forward Marcus Morris was a mainstay in Hunter's rotation, and he was a consistent provider of instant offense off the bench.
During one stretch, from Feb. 27-March 11, Morris reached double figures in five out of six games, including two games in which he reached 16 points. He sunk 9-of-16 three-point attempts over that span, too.
Starting on March 22, Markieff Morris' twin brother has seen his role with the Suns lessen, and Hunter said the acclimation process to a new team is part of the reason why.
"I thought he played really well at the beginning, and then he had a couple situations where he lost a little confidence," Hunter said. "He's getting to be familiar with everything. He came at a time where we were changing so much that I'm not shocked or disappointed that he's gone through a little bit of a struggle."
The coach also took on part of the responsibility himself.
"As a coach you always try to put your guys in a position to succeed, so maybe it was, in part, me not doing a good enough job of getting him in that situation," Hunter said. "And that's something I'm working on, too."
Second-Half Streaking
No Suns are enjoying the second-half of the season more than Dragic and Wes Johnson.
In 22 games, the team's point guard has improved in just about every relevant statistical category, despite his role with the team remaining unchanged.
Dragic is averaging two more points per game (16.0), two and half more assists per game (8.9) and one more rebound per game (3.8). Dragic has also had 11 games in which he has recorded 10 or more assists, compared to the five times he accomplished that in 51 games before the All-Star break.
For Johnson, it's simply a matter of being given a chance. In the team's first 53 games before All-Star weekend, he played in 21 games and never scored in double digits.
Since the break, he's played in all 24 games and has averaged 11.8 points per game. He's reached double figures in scoring 13 times and has even reached at least 18 points six times.
The Unfamiliar Face
While James Harden and Jeremy Lin are the usual suspects for Houston, the last game these two teams played actually starred an unfamiliar name: Donatas Motiejunas.
The 22-year old rookie out of Lithuania recorded a career high 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting to spark the Rockets' win over the Suns on March 13.
The 7-footer also drained two three-pointers in that game, showcasing the outside-in kind of game he possesses.
