mergeSort with ReplaceRepeated
Hi I'm writing an implementation of mergesort using replacerepeated. This is actually the code: merge[{a1, arest___}, b : {b1, ___}] /; a1 >= b1 //. {merge[a1, arest, b1] :> merge[b1, a1, arest] }; but it doesn't work, and I don't know why, because I'm really new to Mathematica. Any clue? Regards -- Luca Bedogni

If by stats you mean catches and yards, then no. But if by tight end production you mean ability to block on the line also, I think Bennett had a better year than Olson, Daniels, Myers, Gresham, Miller, and Fred Davis: players who might have had better numbers. Produce was definitely the wrong word there. I think Bennett is an excellent fit in this offense though, and better than most, doing more than a lot of tight ends would do with wide receivers like Cruz and Nicks.
Hopefully the Giants can sign him before he hits the market, they won't be able to hang with offers from other teams.

A couple months ago, I bought a book for my six year old son called Phobiapedia. The book teaches and illustrates the various phobias humans struggle with like arachnophobia (fear of spiders) and acrophobia (fear of heights). My son and I were both fascinated as we read together about koniophobia (fear of dust) and xanthopobia (the fear of the color yellow). We then had a discussion about our own fears. Kameron fears sleeping alone…I don't really think so, I think this is his way of trying to con me into staying longer after story time. I shared with him my fear of bees after having attacked by a swarm of yellow jackets when I was about nine years old.
Our short study on fears caused me to think more broadly about how fear affects our society. Many, many people are trapped in lives of fear. We demonstrate our fear of terrorists by refusing to use the airlines or if we do fly, we are subjected to the humility of going through airport security where fear of terrorism has driven TSA officials to insanity. They don't look for people, they look for things. They search us for tooth picks and aerosol cans. They their fearful irrationality by frisking 90 year old women and strip searching 9 year old children.
We are fearful of the criminal element in our society. Some live behind doors that have five or six dead locks installed in them. Gun sales are skyrocketing because people are feeling insecure. Fear is driving us to arm ourselves.
We have become obsessed with our health or our lack thereof. Millions are preoccupied by one diet after another and millions more spend most of their non-working hours in gymnasiums trying to defy the aging process and delay that which is certain for all, death. I'm sure you know a few hypochondriacs in your circle. Many are disillusioned by their fear of disease. They seek treatment for a disease when they actually suffer from an anxiety disorder. More than 50% of Americans are taking a drug to treat some chronic condition. (Medco Health Solutions) Fear can cause us to become dysfunctional or non-functional.
In a recent decade (1994-2005) the U.S. population increased 9% while the number of medical prescriptions increased 71%. At a time when American scientists and physicians are making tremendous advances in medical knowledge and technology, in a time when we are learning the latest treatments that have made us to be some of the healthiest people in history, in an age when we are being educated about what is harmful and unhealthy, ironically, we are addicted to prescription drugs. What part is fear playing in all of this?
Let us be reminded that all fear is not bad. I want to feel fear when I am walking on the peak of the roof or when I come face to face with a rattle snake. Fear is a protective mechanism that may very well save our lives many times over.
But I believe destructive fear is a controlling spirit released from hell by the Father of Lies to torment us. There are no boundaries to what we can be fearful of. We can even be fearful of fear itself. This is called phobophobia. We fear darkness, we fear pain, and we fear vomiting. Some people walking on the earth today are fearful of looking up so they walk with their heads downward. We fear germs, dirt and dentists. The fear of making decision is called decidophobia. Many suffer from snakophobia and I have taught many high school students who have suffered from testophobia. Some of our church pews will be empty next Sunday because some people suffer from ecclesiophobia, the fear of church.
We are a culture saturated by fear. Fear has become a slave master to some of us, controlling our every thought and action. The spirit of fear is nothing new for there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) John addressed the issue over 2,000 years ago when he wrote, "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God…" (1 John 4:1) We can conquer our fears by recognizing the source of all destructive fear. It is Satan himself. This is no threat to those who are Christians because John also said, "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
Fear cannot be overcome with fear. It must be overcome with boldness. It may be necessary to courageously confront our enemy. We must first realize that Satan is not a fictional character, he is real. Christians discover fearlessness when they realize that Satan is a defeated foe. Christ assured us of his defeat: "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross" (Col. 2:15)
We need not be paralyzed by our fear "for the battle is the LORD's" (1 Sam. 17:47) When fear creeps in to haunt us there is a place for you to run where you will find protection and security. "The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous runs into it and is safe." (Prov. 18:10)

San Diego Arrest Rates Drop
Thursday, December 21, 2006
Aired 4/19/09
Police made fewer arrests in San Diego County last year, compared to 2004. The San Diego Association of Governments reports that young people make up a smaller percentage of those arrests. KPBS Radio's Andrew Phelps has details.
Just 15 percent of people arrested last year were minors. That's a trend that has been sliding downward for a decade. But young people made up a third of all weapons-related arrests. Cynthia Burke of SANDAG says that information can help police decide where to put their resources.
Burke: So I think that that really talks to the need of looking at some of those higher-risk juveniles who are in the system who might be involved in gangs and who are out there committing violent offenses.
Burke says the rise in weapons offenses could coincide with a rise in the violent-crime rate across the country. The SANDAG report says the total number of adult arrests dropped in 2005. But that's not a trend. And Burke says just because fewer people were arrested doesn't mean there was less crime. For KPBS, I'm Andrew Phelps.

Zucker Nearing His Chance
by Natalie Dillon / Minnesota WildFeature: Prospects Report - Feb. 8
Feature: Family Man...Er...Kid
Feature: A Pipeline of Success
World Juniors: Wild Prospect Performances and Features
He's that University of Denver sophomore that has ranked among the top point scorers in the nation all season. He's the rare kid from Las Vegas, Nevada that is viewed as a top NHL prospect. He's the leader that just skated for Team USA at the IIHF World Junior Championship for the third straight year and wore the "C" on his left shoulder.
The Wild drafted Zucker in the second round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. By then, he was already known for being one of two Americans to deliver the United States three gold medals in the same calendar year, including victories at the 2010 World Juniors and the 2009-10 World Under-18 Championships.
But he's shown his best hockey was still waiting. As a freshman at DU, Zucker ranked second on his team with 45 points and tied for the team lead with 23 goals. He helped the Pioneers to within a game of the Frozen Four by scoring a goal in the second overtime of Denver's NCAA first round victory over Western Michigan.
Minnesota Wild Director of Player Development Brad Bombardir said sometimes freshmen are able fly under the radar and find success because other teams don't know their strengths. This doesn't seem to have been the case for Zucker.
"Players know that he's a good player. They know his assets and what he does well on the ice, and he's still able to have a successful year so far," Bombardir explained. "We're very happy with him and his progress."
Now in his sophomore year, Zucker is well on his way to posting even bigger numbers. So far, he has 33 points on 14 goals and 19 assists in his 24 games, tied for 14th in the nation in scoring. He leads the Pioneers in shots and has racked up six power-play goals. Already, he has 10 multiple-point games.
Not bad for a kid born and raised in the Mojave Desert. In fact, Zucker is the first Nevada-raised player to be drafted in the NHL. But no player with determination like Zucker's would let geography slow him down.
Bombardir said Zucker's mentality is as close to a professional's as a player his age can be.
"He's very focused and he's very disciplined," Bombardir said. "If he continues to work the way he has, he's got the mental setup to continue to improve and hopefully play for us in the National Hockey League one day."
He said the World Juniors allowed Zucker to show the world his strengths. Combining speed, playmaking ability, shooting and fierce competitiveness, Zucker notched seven points in 2012.
"Those are his key strengths that got him to the level he is at now and will get him to the next level," Bombardir said.
Zucker, who grew up idolizing Wayne Gretzky, points to his speed and his shot as his biggest assets.
"I try to use them to my advantage," he said. "I try to shoot the puck whenever I can and use my speed in all aspects of the game."
So far it's working for him, but Zucker said there are areas he needs to improve on before he can move to the next level. To prepare for the physical demands of professional hockey, he works daily with trainers to grow bigger and stronger.
Bombardir said Zucker's competitive nature bodes well for his future.
"He wants to get better. He wants to play at another level. He wants to play in the National Hockey League," he explained.
For now, Zucker is focused on the months ahead. Denver currently ranks fourth in the WCHA standings and is within close reach of an NCAA playoff spot come March.
"The team's been working hard and playing well," Zucker said. "[A National Championship] is something that we're working towards."

President Obama has been making a big deal about blaming Congress for the sequester, even saying at one point during his debate with Romney last year, "The sequester is not something that I've proposed," Obama said. "It is something that Congress has proposed."
My extensive reporting for my book "The Price of Politics" shows that the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Jack Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors — probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.
Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Freshwater Aquarium Equipment
- - Just made a major upgrade from 20g to 135g, help pls!
Just made a major upgrade from 20g to 135g, help pls! Hi fellow members. I'm a new member and have just upgraded from a 20g starter kit bought 1.5 yr ago to a 135g. This tank was bought used and it only come with a Aqua Clear 110 filter and 2 heaters. There are a few things that are missing here and i would also like to add another filter (have one 6 inch oscar now but would be getting a few more fishes in the near future). Also the tank cover is missing, would anyone be able to direct me to a site to get them please. thanks |
You will find that larger tanks are more forgiving, take less maintenance and cost more money, initially. You will need to decide on theme and what fish you wish to keep. This allows you to make any other decisions concerning lighting, filtration, substrate, ect. Some fish are totally incompatible with each other. So, do your homework. Keeping an Oscar is going to severely limit your choice of fish and force you to make some costly decisions as to filtration. These fish are waste machines and good filtration is paramount. They are also "diggers", so don't be surprised if half of the gravel in your tank is piled up against the front glass some morning when you wake up. Should you decide to part with the Oscar, you will open a whole world of options. Planted tank, Rift Lake biotope, Blackwater.... the list is almost endless. |
My project includes 1) Another filter beside the Aqua Clear 110 i have 2) Lighting? 3) Replacing my glass top cover 4) getting some friends for my Oscar thanks in advance :) |
The Oscar has been with me for almost 2 year and i cannot put myself to let her go :( . |
Just in case i decide to let my Oscar go, what would be my possibilities with this 135g tank? |
You have the world at your feet with a 135g tank!!! |
care to give me a few ideas? |
Holy smokes!!! A planted tank with loads of driftwood, tetras, danios, dwarf, cihlids, angels, discus, (man, I'm running out of fish).....I don't care to much for barbs in a planted tank, they tend to rip leaves. Should you want to go African Rift Lake cichlid, OMG!!!!!! Even an African riverine tank would be impressive. But, a tank that size, the most impressive would be the planted tank. Even a blackwater tank, with a lot of wood and plants, would benefit from the sheer size. And depending upon your choice of fish, one could keep shrimp, snails, and other inverts. Like I said the world is at your feet. That tank has the potential, just in size alone, to be VERY impressive. The wood work, the plant layout, the stocking.... Even should you decide on African cichlids with their rocky biotope..... That tank has a ton of potential. |
Hello there live2bet :) As herefishy has already said, if you did decide to part with the oscar it would really open up your options with a tank that size. If it were me personally, I would go for a community planted tank. For substrate, I would use eco complete (you'll find this will be of great benefit if you go with plants), and a couple of large schools of tetras. A mixture of bottom dwellers such as corys and loaches, and perhaps a couple of german blue rams which have beautiful colouration and great personality. Maybe a couple of ancistrus to add a bit of something different. I would also have a mixture of rocks and wood in the tank. There is such potential for your tank, and it's really a matter of weighing up your preferences. Keep the oscar and be very limited in what you can keep, or rehome him and go for something completely different. I'll be very interested to hear what you decide to do! |
One thing I didn't mention is your budget. We all start with an amount in mind. But, we always go over. Nature of the beast, I guess. A planted tank will cost more, although many of the fish do cost less than most cichlids. But in an African cichlid tank, you will have the expense of rockwork. So the difference in price is not as much as one would expect. Once you decide on your direction, we will be able to help you with your layout and choice if fish, plants, filtration, lighting, substrate, and the sort. |

Liver Transplantation and Colorectal Cancer
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Colorectal liver metastases (CLM) are currently considered an absolute contraindication for liver transplantation (Lt) although Lt for other primary and secondary liver malignancies show excellent outcome in selected patients. Before 1995, several Lts for CLM were performed, but the outcome was poor (18% 5-year survival) and Lt for CLM was stopped. Since then, several advances have been achieved and survival following Lt has improved by almost 30%. Thus, a 5-year survival of about 50% following Lt for CLM could be anticipated.
The investigators have previously included 21 patients in a pilot study. All patients had advanced CLM at the time of Lt. Long term overall survival (OS) exceeds by far previously reported outcome for this patient group and is comparable or better than survival following repeat Lt for non-malignant diagnoses. Development of robust selection criteria may further improve the results.
The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to explore whether liver transplantation in selected patients with liver metastases from CRC can obtain significant life extension and better health related quality of life compared to patients receiving surgical resection.
The investigators will also explore if patient selection according to nomo-grams for outcome of colorectal cancer can define a subgroup of patients with a 5 year survival of at least 50% or even cure from the disease.

Region: | Portugal » Douro |
Producer: | Quinta do Vale D. Maria |
Product Description
The Ports from the Rio Torto valley, and namely those from Quinta Vale Dona Maria, are full-bodied, well structured, with a deep purple to dark red colour, with concentrated aromas of mature red fruits - blackberries, black cherries, red plums. Its tannins are ripe and soft and the wines have a very long finish.
Wine Spectator
Rich and decadent on the nose, with meaty, earthy crushed blackberry and blueberry aromas. Full-bodied and lightly sweet, with loads of chewy, ripe tannins and a long, very rich finish. There's lovely richness and balance to this. From the former owner of Quinta do Noval. Best after 2016. 500 cases made.
Score: 92, James Suckling, May 31, 2010Wine Enthusiast
Obviously a Port for the long haul, not giving away much. There are flavors of licorice, bitter fruits, all-spice, nutmeg. The character at this stage is tight, edgy, but the promise is there and will be worth waiting for.

I've had glycolic and TCA peels, but the best peel I had was one I did to myself accidentally. It did not cost $100; the form insists that peels must cost at least $100.
I put 2 skin lotions on my face before bed - one was a vitamin C lotion in an orange bottle, and I forget what the other was. I walked away from the bathroom, but hadn't gotten very far when I realized my face was burning. I ran back to the bathroom and washed my face until it stopped burning.
Next day, I sat outside for lunch for maybe 15 minutes. My face hurt again, so I went in.
Then, over the next week, my face scabbed up. Not at all like any of the pictures I've seen of other chemical peels. The skin stretched and cracked, so I looked like the bottom of a dry lake after the sun had dried up the mud.
Then it peeled off, and I had new smooth pink skin. But I can't remember what the things I mixed together were.
Can it be good to get a sunburn on your face immediately after a peel?
Wish I Could Remember What I Did!
I've had glycolic and TCA peels, but the best peel...
No doctor.

Hello and welcome to our wonderful new website!
We are very excited here in Victoria to have this great new site up and running with all the new functionality for our members. Please take a look around and let us know what you think, we would welcome your feedback and comments.
We have had some changes this month in Victoria. Our SI&C Commission leadership has changed with Rod Flynn taking over the chair of the commission from Stephan Winter. Read on to find out more details.
You all should have received the link to register for a ticket to the GIS Program Management and Workshop, the Summit and the VSEA dinner. We hope to see you all attending these Premier Victorian Events for 2011. Don't forget to download the nomination forms for both the individual awards and the industry awards. We are still accepting sponsors and exhibitors for the Summit. You can download the sponsorship document here and the booking form from here.
Our next scheduled event is the Emerging Technologies event. The final program and flyer for that will be sent out next week.

Victorian Chair
Stephan Winter and Rod Flynn
17 May 2011
You may know that the Spatial Information and Cartography Commission is the largest commission in SSSI Victoria. A large number of activities in SSSI Victoria can be accounted for the topic area of the commission. However, the commission has a relatively small leadership group, and the leadership team relied on a large number of initiatives happening independently in SSSI – think of the Spatial Summit, or the work of sub-committees such as Destination Spatial or Humanitarian and Disaster Relief Mapping Support, but also of the many activities of the Young Professionals.
This situation is good: it shows a lively professional body. But it also reflects the diversity of the professions and careers in spatial information and cartography. We think the situation can be improved. The commission could provide a common home to create a community, and perhaps also develop a clearer profile of the profession.
For this purpose, we have made changes to the leadership team of the commission. From today, Rod Flynn will take over the chair of the commission from Stephan Winter. Rod, as the past Chair of SSSI Victoria and through his affiliation with DSE, will be in a good position to engage with key industry partners aligned with the commission, and to coordinate events and initiatives in the domain of the commission.
Also, the leadership team in this commission is seeking volunteers to help us better connecting to the leadership base: a second tier of leaders, a circle of engaged and interested people, a pool to draw ideas or initiatives from.
We are hoping to provide you an even better service this way.

The Land Surveying Commission subcommittee has mapped out a tentative CPD program for the remainder of the year and made submissions to a number of government reviews, most recently the proposed Subdivision (Procedures) Regulations. We were also invited to the stakeholders forum regarding these regulations which was held by DPCD on April 20th last.
The Review of the Users Guide to Subdivision is ongoing and the DPCD have conceded that this review is going to take much longer than anticipated. The next stage is to hold a project workshop.
The National Land Surveying Commission held a face to face meeting in Melbourne on 19-20th May.
Guidelines for land use mapping in Australia: principles, procedures and definitions.
This is a technical handbook supporting the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program, 4th Edition, 2011 Publication date: 28 Apr 2011
The report promotes the development of nationally consistent data on land use, land cover and land management practices, as well as information products, standards, analyses and assessments. It is produced by the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP) as a technical reference to support land use mapping in Australia at national, state and regional levels.
This handbook is the primary reference for version 7 of the Australian Land Use and Management (ALUM) Classification. It also outlines updated nationally agreed principles and procedures adopted by ACLUMP as the basis for mapping at both the catchment scale and the national scale.

Many companies have supported the Surveying Task Force work experience program by being listed on the taskforce 'Work Experience Registry'. This program has seen numerous students obtain a personal experience in Surveying, often leading to their study in this area.
We have the unique opportunity to promote our work experience program through IMVC (Inner Melbourne Vet Cluster), which promotes work experience placements at particular companies at a set time during the year.
If you think your company could nominate 1 week in 2011 in which you could offer work experience, please contact Lauren Cockerill at The Surveying Taskforce and she will coordinate the promotion on the IMVC website. Email your interest to email@example.com or call (03) 9326 8173.
SSSI proudly supported and exhibited at the 2011 MUGS Spatial and Surveying Industry Careers Night in April. There was quite a bit of interest shown in the SSSI with continuous questions and queries that left our representatives hoarse by the end of the night. They probably personally handed out around thirty membership forms. We actively promoted the free student membership on the night and have since had quite a few students take up the offer. With the banners, Destination Spatial and Survey Taskforce Posters, maps, we had plenty of display material to spark interest.
The Sub-Committee is developing key partnerships and pathways for spatial professionals to provide volunteer mapping, surveying and spatial information services to support humanitarian and disaster relief activities. The group is undertaking actions including identifying training requirements and opportunities, promoting presentations and discussion around emerging technologies and data management, and relationships with key emergency response, relief and NGO organisations. The sub-committee has been established within the Victorian region and is initially focused on developing initiatives for spatial professionals within Victoria however, opportunities exist for this to become a national initiative.

Real Betis sack Juan Carlos Garrido
Real Betis have announced the sacking of manager Juan Carlos Garrido, as well as his assistants Sergio Fernandez, Jorge Simo and Javier Ramos, with his replacement set to be immediately appointed tonight and being presented in a press conference on Monday.
Real Betis' board of directors held a meeting this morning after Real Betis embarrassing drubbing at home against Real Madrid on Saturday evenin, reaching the decision that Garrido would be sacked with immediate effect.
The 44-year-old took over for former manager, Pepe Mel after after the much loved former coach was sacked on 2nd December 2013, but failed to earn a win or turn the season around for struggling Betis, who still languish in 20th place and 8 points from safety, as they remain the favourites to be the first team relegated this season.
It is believed that Garrido's successor has already been decided, will sign with the club on Sunday night according to their press release and will be presented officially at press conference at the club's offices, on Monday morning.

Therapy camp offers seriously ill kids an escape
by Dr. Sharon Space
Big billowy clouds pushed across blue skies as a breeze drifted off the lake. Children were laughing and singing. Some were fishing off the dock and along the shore. It was another perfect summer day at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Conn., in 1989.
I'd decided to work as a camp counselor against my academic advisors' recommendations to spend my second year of medical school in a windowless research lab. Little did I know how profoundly this decision would shape my life.
Founded by Paul Newman in 1988, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp offers children with cancer and other serious illnesses a place to kick back, relax and "raise a little hell" — as Newman put it. In the years since, more than 100,000 children have escaped for a week, a few days, or a few hours, sharing life-changing moments with families, volunteers and staff members.
After several rewarding summers as a camp counselor and after completing my pediatric residency in 1994, I began to volunteer in the camp infirmary. It was there I met 7-year-old Katy.
Doctors had diagnosed her with leukemia about a year before. Katy's hair was just starting to grow back - a blond peach fuzz covering her scalp. She'd been swimming that morning, but came to the camp infirmary because she wasn't feeling so well. Her temperature had reached 102.5.
For a child receiving chemotherapy, a fever is a life-threatening emergency. It means a trip to the ER, needles, blood draws, IV antibiotics and often hospital admission. But because Katy got her fever at camp, the medical staff provided all the treatment she needed on-site, while she completed an arts and crafts project. I love that kids like Katy can be treated at camp, and continue to have fun.
After her evaluation, treatment and discussion with her doctors at home, they decided she could stay at camp as long as we monitored her closely. She and her counselor skipped out of the infirmary and up to dinner where I saw them singing and dancing a short time later.
That's exactly how camp works. Kids won't see doctors in white coats, stethoscopes, sterile white walls or hospital beds, but there is medical support just the same. There are also trees to climb, horses to ride, fish to catch, friends to be made and counselors to love you unconditionally. Incidentally, the rest of us feel the love as well.
Years ago, on another perfect day on the dock, I leaned over to another counselor and said, "Someday, I'm going to be the medical director of The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp." And now I am. This camp may be a place for kids to dream, but for me it's been a dream come true.
Dr. Sharon Space became medical director of The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Conn., in 2005. The free, donor-funded camp - the first of 11 opened worldwide by actor and philanthropist Paul Newman - serves more than 15,000 children each year through summer, weekend and hospital outreach programs.

montage (mŏntäzhˈ, Fr. môNtäzhˈ) [key], the art and technique of motion-picture editing in which contrasting shots or sequences are used to effect emotional or intellectual responses. It was developed creatively after 1925 by the Russian Sergei Eisenstein; since that time montage has become an increasingly complex and inventive way of extending the imaginative possibilities of film art. In still photography a composite picture, made by combining several prints, or parts of prints, and then rephotographing them as a whole, is often called a montage or a photomontage.

Paul Ryan yanked the Obamacare repeal bill before it went down to what appeared to be certain defeat on the House floor.
With the Obamacare repeal bill on life support, Sean Spicer is giving a very subdued press briefing today so far. Hard to be cocky when you're losing.
Tierney Sneed and Alice Ollstein have been talking to members all morning, and the members have no idea if the votes are there, which usually means they aren't. Things are also getting testy:
I mentioned the two likely possibilities today are that the Obamacare repeal bill barely passes or fails by a lot. The third possibility, not to be ruled out, is that in the face of an overwhelming defeat, Ryan might pull the bill. That's contrary to the big talk from the White House that the negotiating is over and it's time to vote. But letting a major bill go down to stunning defeat is not in the normal Speaker playbook. With the votes apparently not there, Ryan is heading to the White House to talk to President Trump.
Stay tuned.
If you looked at a map showing which states lost the most manufacturing jobs since 2000, you would discover that many of these are states that Hillary Clinton expected to win in November 2016, but that Donald Trump carried. For instance, the two states that lost the greatest percentage of manufacturing jobs were Michigan and North Carolina. To voters in these states, Trump had a simple message: manufacturing matters (and had made America great), and he would protect what still existed and bring back the jobs that had left.
It's been very difficult for a number of days to see how Paul Ryan cobbles together enough votes to pass this mess of a bill. But my touchstone has been, logic and math aside, that the GOP simply cannot afford to let Obamacare repeal die. That scale of a political flop on such an important issue this early in the new era of GOP-unified government would be a catastrophe that no party would willingly endure. But the numbers are the numbers. You have to have the votes. And right now it's not at all clear that they do.
To understand the impact of rolling back Obamacare's 10 Essential Health Benefits, you should read this. It was written before the latest bill language was released but is a good primer.
This abomination of a bill only got worse with last night's changes, approved this morning by the House Rules Committee. Remember: The CBO won't even have time to score what the House will be voting on this afternoon. It's one of the starker ironies that virtually everything Republicans ever falsely accused Democrats of doing to jam the ACA through is now actually happening. Alice Ollstein and Tierney Sneed give you the quick rundown.
Here's where things wound up last night on the Hill. More on the new version of the bill, released overnight, soon.
A very strange day in Washington as Republicans failed, as they have for seven years, to come up with a viable alternative to Obamacare.
The nugget that probably best captures the day came from the Congressional Budget Office. It assessed the most recent version of the bill and concluded that it will still take coverage away from 24 million people, just like the original version of the bill, but will cost an additional $186 billion to do so.
Let me say that again: The revised bill spends $186 billion more to not cover the same number of people. What a win!
Keep that in mind as the House proceeds to vote on an even newer version of the bill Friday, that still hasn't been released, and that the CBO will not be given time to score in advance.
White House demands vote Friday on Obamacare repeal, come hell or high water. No CBO score. Still no bill! But from what we know of it, it's an objectively terrible piece of legislation, whether you're a purveyor of sane health care policy or a conservative looking for ideological purity. Ryan is going along with the Trump plan to ram it through. Do Republicans have the votes? Our latest dispatch after a long evening on the Hill.

7aam Arivu earned about Rs 37 crore, while Velayudham managed to collect Rs 31 crore in the first week
Tamil cinemas were on a roll this Diwali with tough competition between Suriya and Vijay's films 7aam Arivu and Velayudham respectively. But the box office report easily points out to which film made it and which tanked. Suriya's 7aam Arivu stood out as the clear winner according to the opening week sales. The directorial by AR Murugadoss, in spite of getting mixed reviews, managed to rock the BO. According to trade pundits, 7aam Arivu earned about Rs 37 crore, whereas Velayudham managed to collect Rs 31 crore in the first week. 7aam Arivu had the advantage of 1,000 prints worldwide while Velayudham was released in about 650 theatres only. But Velayudham began to garner attention after critics gave thumbs up and the word-of-mouth spread. In addition to all this, Shahrukh Khan's RA.One dubbed in Tamil has also been rated at No 3 at the Tamil box office. In about three days, RA.One managed to collect about Rs 6 crore. Coming back to the south films, apparently, the collections of 7aam Arivu are expected to go slow as theatre owners plan to increase the screenings of Velayudhum by reducing Suriya's film screenings. The entire dynamics will change after that. Let's wait and watch what the collections for the second week would turn out to be!
VELAYUDHAM movie review: A total masala fare
7Aam Arivu Movie Review: A colossal disappointment!

Marlins again shut out Nats, 1-0
Jul 18, 2010 - 9:33 PM By STEVEN WINE AP Sports WriterMIAMI(AP) -- Gaby Sanchez succeeded where everyone else failed - with a runner in scoring position.
Sanchez doubled home the only run and Alex Sanabia pitched into the sixth inning to earn his first major league win Sunday, helping the Florida Marlins shut out Washington for the second game in a row, 1-0.
Aside from Sanchez, the two teams went 0 for 18 with runners in scoring position. The Nationals went 0 for 9 in those situations for the second consecutive game, and they stranded nine.
"It's always fun to play in a game that's tight," Sanchez said. "But they're stressful at times, because you're out there and they've got a guy in scoring position, and you're like, 'All right, let's bear down and not let him get in."'
Sanchez's RBI came in the fifth inning after Emilio Bonifacio led off with a double. Sanchez unsuccessfully tried to bunt before driving a ball into the alley.
The run proved precious in a series where Washington outscored Florida 4-3 but lost two of the three games.
"It's very frustrating, because we are playing good baseball," said Craig Stammen (2-4), who gave up the only run in the finale. "We are not throwing the ball all over the place or striking out all of the time. We are not getting the big hit we need to score runs."
In the back-to-back shutouts, Washington totaled 19 hits, all singles.
"We are just in a little funk where we are getting them on, but we can't get them in," manager Jim Riggleman said.
A baserunning blunder by Adam Kennedy for the second game in a row didn't help.
The Marlins sputtered in the clutch, too. They went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position in the series finale, stranding 10 while totaling six hits.
"Coming out of the All-Star break, the bats may be a little bit behind," manager Edwin Rodriguez said.
Sanabia (1-1) took advantage of Washington's offensive woes. Making his second career start, the 21-year-old rookie allowed four hits in 5 1-3 innings and lowered his ERA to 2.12 in five games this season.
"You can tell he was a little bit nervous out there," Rodriguez said. "But it seems like he was comfortable pitching uncomfortable. He made his pitches when he had to."
Teammates celebrated Sanabia's milestone win by dumping ice on him in the shower.
Four relievers completed an eight-hitter for Florida's ninth shutout this season. Jose Veras pitched a scoreless seventh and has yet to give up a run in 12 innings since coming up from Triple-A New Orleans in June.
Leo Nunez earned his 22nd save in 27 chances by pitching the ninth, when the Nationals squandered their final opportunity. After Kennedy singled with one out, pinch hitter Mike Morse also singled, but Kennedy slipped rounding second base and was tagged out trying to get back to the bag.
"My initial reaction was to try to get to third with less than two outs, but I just made it into a pretty bad play," Kennedy said. Pinch hitter Ivan Rodriguez then struck out to end the game.
Kennedy was thrown out at the plate in the Nationals' 2-0 loss Saturday.
"I feel bad for Adam," Riggleman said. "Two days in a row he is involved in aggressive plays. He feels terrible about it."
The last-place Nationals dropped their sixth consecutive rubber game in a series. They've lost eight of their past nine day games, and they're 6-24 on the road since mid-May.
The Marlins improved to 9-33 when they're outhit, including wins in the past two games. Florida's past four games have involved a shutout, a franchise record.
The Nationals' best scoring chance against Sanabia came in the third, when they loaded the bases with one out. The rookie then struck out Adam Dunn and got Josh Willingham to tap out.
Cristian Guzman reached second with one out in the eighth, but Clay Hensley struck out Dunn and retired Willingham on a popup.
"They had people on," Sanchez said. "Our pitchers just did a great job of getting out of the inning, and defensively we've been doing what we needed to do."
Notes: Before the game, the Marlins recalled OF Bryan Petersen from Triple-A New Orleans. ... The bees were gone Sunday. The Marlins reopened the section near the bullpen that had been closed because of an infestation of the insects. ... Nationals starters allowed two earned runs in 18 innings in the series. ... Bonifacio's double was his first since July 19, 2009.

OT : Northwestern lost to Penn State. Well, it looks like their time in the top 25 was pretty short lived huh?
[Edit] Forgot to mention this, but Arkansas beat the shit out of Auburn, 24-7. So, the question is, which team will end this season with the dubious 'honor' of being the WORST team in the SEC?

Jeff Driskel has to be one of the worst quarterbacks I've ever seen when it comes to making decisions.
Who do you consider to be worse: Mettenberger or Driskel? Personally, I'm leaning towards Mettenberger being worse. To me, it always seems like Mettenberger has the potential to completely fuck up a game for LSU, like he's waiting for the perfect opportunity to troll the shit out of LSU fans.
[EDIT] Oh LSU, I so love to see you fuck yourselves over. You gain 56 yards, but turn the ball over as you do so. You're oh so impressive.

gg stanford. Arizona had that, then they threw it away.
Woot, Florida wins. LSU overrated, proven today.

Well, it's a long game, but South Carolina has 21 points in ten minutes. Not looking good already for Georgia.

More losses to shake up the standings, I always say. LSU's going down the rankings, as is Georgia. Then again, given their competition, you wouldn't expect them to fall too hard.
Ohio State pulled away from Nebraska, and Oregon's showing why another team is overrated.
Know what bothers me? Teams like Stanford jumping from really low up to the top ten, just because they beat a top-ranked team. I don't know how the polls can assume that one win makes a team that good. Notice they lost the next week. That's what bugs me about the rankings, too many drastic leaps. At least early on. Maybe it'll all flow and balance out later.

Oregon Washington game isn't surprising at all. Good thing I didn't buy into that hype like everybody did.

FSU is getting owned man that was an ugly game.
UCLA is getting whooped by Cal. Unless they get their act together, that'll be yet another ranked team dropping to an unranked opponent (one with a losing record, at that).

Anyone see any pre-BCS ranking guesses?
The less you know, the more you believe.
Science has promised us nothing and given us everything, faith has promised us everything and given us nothing.
Heres the projection based on the current polls:
MMO-C nightly hockey chat http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=#mmoc-hockey
Attempting to put all bias against MSU (the Mississippi one) aside, I still have to ask, "Why is fuck's sake are they ranked and even thought of int a BCS Championship situation?"
I'm a fan of the SEC and even I have to say this shows some SEC bias. They're 5-0, yeah, but they've played NO ONE so far and played them all poorly. I really hope Tennessee takes them out this weekend so that they drop out of the rankings and all discussion and speculation ceases.

Bill would limit 'seclusion, restraint' in schoolsBy KIMBERLY HEFLING , Associated Press
Feb. 12, 2014 3:00 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate committee report released Wednesday raises concerns over whether parents are informed when their children are strapped down, physically restrained or placed in seclusion in school to punish or control them. The review by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee was based on several cases in which the practice known as "seclusion and restraint" was used. The cases highlighted included one in which closet-like rooms at an elementary school in Middletown, Ct., were allegedly used to leave children alone who were said to misbehave and another in which court records indicated a 7-year-old in a New Orleans school was handcuffed. "When parents are told or discover their children have been subjected to these practices, it often explains why they have seen changes in their child's temperament, behavior or learning," the report said. It found that 18 states require parents to be notified about the use of seclusion and restraints. It said 19 states have laws that provide "meaningful" protections against these practices for all children and 32 do for children with disabilities. Committee Chairman Tom Harkin has introduced a bill that would prohibit the practice in schools. Under it, restraints would only be allowed in emergency situations and it would prohibit leaving school children in locked, unattended rooms or enclosures. Parents would also be notified within 24 hours that a restraint had been used on their child. Harkin, D-Iowa, and Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., have unsuccessfully sought a federal law in past years to end the practice. In response, national associations representing schools boards and superintendents in a joint statement said the bill would reduce the authority of states and districts. "Restraint and seclusion are used as a last resort in situations that may endanger the safety and welfare of students, teachers and other school personnel," said the statement issued by the National School Boards Association and the School Superintendents Association. The statement said the associations agree with Harkin that the routine use of such measures is inappropriate. Special education and disability advocates generally agree that these methods should be used only in emergency situations where there's a threat of someone getting hurt. But there's evidence to suggest the methods are used more commonly than that. Civil rights data released from the 2009-2010 school year found tens of thousands of incidents of seclusion and restraint in U.S. schools with 70 percent of the incidents involving children with disabilities. The Senate committee staff said in the report it found 10 cases where children had been significantly injured or died due to these practices in their schools. _____ Follow Kimberly Hefling on Twitter at http://twitter.com/khefling © The Associated Press.

Left-Wing Radicalism in the Church: The Catholic Campaign for Human Development By Matthew Vadum September 2009 Conning the Conservatives By Matthew Vadum November 19, 2009 The Influence of Saul Alinsky on the Campaign for Human Development By Lawrence Engel December 1998 The Catholic Campaign for Human Development: Reform or Bust By Rey Flores November 9, 2011
Inspired by the leftwing ideology and the community-organizing tactics of Saul Alinsky, the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) was founded in 1969 as the charitable arm of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Asserting that the Campaign was created specifically to serve as a permanent source of funding for Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation, Catholic writer Paul Likoudis describes CCHD as "a political mechanism bonding the American Church to the welfare state." In its early days, CCHD was headed by the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, who sought to persuade pro-life Catholics to embrace a "consistent ethic of life" that included also support for pacifism and wealth redistribution. A member of the Caritas Internationalis federation, CCHD focuses its philanthropy on domestic anti-poverty and social-justice programs. Its mission is "to address the root causes of poverty in America through promotion and support of community-controlled, self-help organizations and through transformative ... education for justice, leading toward solidarity between poor and non-poor." When Barack Obama was a young community organizer with the Chicago-based Developing Communities Project (DCP) from 1985-88, CCHD financially supported his efforts to bring the "social justice" teachings of leftwing Catholicism to black churches in particular. According to author Stanley Kurtz, CCHD is "probably the largest funding source for community organizing in the United States." CCHD identifies capitalism as the source of America's "pervasive" indigence, stating that "the causes of poverty are understood to be an aspect of 'social sin' rooted in our social and economic structures and institutions." To address the problems allegedly spawned by capitalism, CCHD promotes transformative institutional change in the form of "alternative economic structures" that will "broaden the sharing of economic power" and foster "economic decisions [that are] more accountable to the common good." Toward this end, CCHD calls for a "family living wage" to be paid to all working people; "a just balance of individual- and community-held assets"; and a "bridg[ing] over" of the "gulf between vast wealth and sheer poverty," so as to bring "the respective classes … nearer to each other." The Catholic magazine Crisis observes that "the way the CCHD educates others about transformative change and empowerment" is very much "in line with the socialist and Marxist ideals so prevalent in community organizing." Since its founding, CCHD has financed voter-registration drives, community organizations, community-run schools, job training programs, and minority-owned cooperatives and credit unions. These initiatives have focused particularly on "poor and vulnerable" people who "have a special place in Catholic social teaching," and who consequently, as CCHD sees it, deserve to have their needs met "first." Caling on advocates for the poor to maintain a spirit of "solidarity," CCHD encourages "a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good … because we are all really responsible for all." CCHD's charitable giving is not channeled directly to poor families or individuals, but rather to activist organizations claiming to represent the economic and political interests of the poor. Between 1969 and 2009, CCHD provided more than 8,000 grants (collectively worth as much as $450 million) to such groups. In addition, the Campaign has funded thousands of smaller projects with money collected by Catholic dioceses. Because CCHD opposes same-sex marriage and abortion, it does not give money to groups that openly promote those practices. Any leftist organization that steers clear of those two issues, however, is eligible for Campaign grants. Among the more notable recipients of CCHD funding have been ACORN, the Direct Action & Research Training Institute, the Gamaliel Foundation, the Industrial Areas Foundation, the Midwest Academy, and People Improving Communities Through Organizing. Between 1999 and 2009, for example, the Campaign gave ACORN $7.3 million which it had collected from churchgoers; only after a series of massive ACORN scandals were revealed in 2009 did CCHD cut off funding for that organization. The late William E. Simon, a Catholic who served as U.S. Treasury Secretary during the Nixon and Ford administrations, once called CCHD a "funding mechanism for radical left-wing political activism in the United States, rather than for traditional types of charities."

(RAD) posted a narrower fourth-quarter net loss of $161.3 million or $0.18 per share versus a $205.69 million or $0.24 per share loss in the previous year, mainly benefitting from continued growth in same store sales and an extra week in the quarter.The Camp Hill, Pennsylvania-based company's quarterly revenues totaled $7.15 billion, up 10.7 percent, compared with last year's $6.46 billion, chiefly as a result of the additional week in fiscal 2012 and an increase in same store sales, partially offset by store closings. Fourth-quarter same store sales went up 3.0 percent over the prior-year period, consisting of a 1.6 percent growth in the front end and a 3.8 percent rise in the pharmacy. On average, 6 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected loss per share of $0.14 on $6.98 billion revenue for the quarter. Analysts' estimates typically exclude one-time items.For fiscal 2013, the company sees net loss between $103 million and $267 million or a loss per share of $0.13 - $0.31, while 7 analysts anticipate loss of $0.25 per share for the full year.In addition, Rite Aid estimates fiscal 2013 sales to be between $25.4 billion and $25.8 billion with same-stores sales expected to range from flat to an increase of 1.5 percent over fiscal 2012, whereas 8 analysts project sales of 25.74 billion for the year. by RTT Staff WriterFor comments and feedback: email@example.com News Biotech Stocks Facing FDA Decision In April Top Ten Female CEOs Crack The Glass Ceiling Housing Data, Fed Speeches in the Spotlight -Economic Preview for Week of March 20

- - Whats up with this horse?
Whats up with this horse? Hi everyone I am rewriting my post. I have a horse he is a ten yr. old gelding . By a pros point of view he is dead broke. Although I got him with problems and thought I fixed them some of them are reoccuring. Is it because of spring? About three weeks ago it started again. Head tossing, rearing when another horse is to far ahead on a trail. Spinning in the ring bouncing on front end. His bucks are weak but do occur. You also could never get on the horse after you tack him up. So there you are evertime spinning the horse like he is a two yearold,backing him up. Yet in the middle of the woods no matter whats going on you can get off the horse do whatever it is you want to do and he will just stand there. Then to get back on him is not a problem. Additionally his ribs hang out on oneside, yet has subsantial muscle and fat. Pees alot up to three times in two hours, he stretchs out in a peeing stance more so. He has had lymes in the past year so doxy for 30 days. He really didnt seam better from the meds and levels where not sky high so who knows. The bit is good hes teeth where just floated and didnt really need it. Dewormer, rabbies, coggins are all up to date? I could go on and on. Basically I have been through alot with the horse and overall he is worth keeping because he is willing t0 do so much. So with some advice from chiro I am going to check his back and have it adjusted. Also going to check basic levels in his blood. Anyone have a clue, is there something in his diet or is he just stubborn. Anyway I hope this is more clear to read then the last post. Thanks for any input |
What do you feed him? If his diet has a lot of sugar in it, that could be a big part of the problem. I'd also get his legs and back checked for pain. It could also just be the season. My horses get pretty nostalgic this time of year. When they go outside, they're like, "OMG! WHERE THE HECK AM I??? HEY THERE'S GRASS!!" lol |
My gelding was the same way! Even though he was gelded, he would have a fit every time the mares at the breeding farm near me were in heat. |
I have him in with just my Girl friends horse right now the live outside. She has a mare. I was not happy at first about putting them together. Its been 6 months total there togehter. He was with two gelding all summer and part of the fall prior. I can honestly say I was much happier with him then. Prior to that he was with another mare he always hung out with and yes acted stupid then ? His diet consists of quality hay, and blue seals performance LS 12 fat 12 protien. Now grass as well |
