It was said, in the brutal aftermath of Hurricane Sandy last October, that a casualty of the mega-storm could be the annual St. Patrick's parade in Rockaway, one of the areas in New York ravaged by pounding rain, winds and wildfire.
But residents of the Rockaways, one of the most Irish neighborhoods in the U.S., proved their resilience on Saturday afternoon with a raucous march that was as big as any of the 37 parades that preceded it despite the obstacles stemming from the devastating storm.
A host of marching bands, bagpipers, stepdancers, county organizations and, of course, politicians proudly marched through the streets of Rockaway Beach which were thronged with onlookers cheering their heroes (the New York Department of Sanitation), and jeering Mayor Michael Bloomberg for what they said was his indifference in their time of despair.
"This parade is exactly what we needed," said Patrick Delaney, a resident of nearby Howard Beach who lived in the Rockaways for many years.
"There was never a question in my mind that the parade would go ahead. We stick together out here."
The march stepped off from its usual spot at Beach 130th Street and Newport Avenue and proceeded through some of the areas decimated by the storm, including a long stretch on Rockaway Beach Boulevard that remains charred to the ground.
Businesses that also felt Sandy's financial pinch did a brisk trade on the cloudy, chilly afternoon, including pubs like the New Kerry Hills which re-opened last month after flooding damage was repaired.
The New York City Department of Sanitation and its Emerald Society were the stars of the day, receiving huge applause along the parade route for their round the clock efforts to clean up after Sandy.
"This is a real fine day for our department," commissioner John Doherty said from the reviewing stand.
"And we will move forward next year to make this parade even bigger and better."
Most of the contenders for New York City mayor lined up to march, but the current occupant, Bloomberg, was loudly booed by many of those on the sidelines.
"Go run in the marathon," one furious green-clad man shouted in reference to Bloomberg's decision to continue with the New York Marathon in the days after Sandy before bowing to pressure to cancel the event.
Others blasted Bloomberg for marching in close proximity to the Sanitation Department. "He's a coward, he's got to hide behind the real heroes," another watcher screamed.
Mike Benn, the Co. Limerick-born chairman of the Queens County Parade Committee, had kinder words for the billionaire mayor who will leave office at the end of the year and has been targeted by Rockaway boos in prior parades.
"He's been a big supporter of ours, marching in our parade for 11 of his 12 years [as mayor]," Benn pointed out to a crowd that remained largely unimpressed.
Bloomberg, clad in green socks and a sash, kept his reviewing stand remarks short. "I don't think anyone could have done the job you guys did," he said in reference to the Sanitation Department.
"Happy St. Patrick's Day, and by order of the mayor, everybody is a little Irish today."
Other politicians on the march included mayoral front-runner Christine Quinn and fellow Democratic contenders John Liu and Bill de Blasio. Republican candidate Joe Lhota was also there but maintained a relatively low profile.
New York Senator Charles Schumer marched well after the mayoral contenders, with megaphone in hand and an aide holding a sign saying "Senator Schumer Salutes the Irish."
"I love the Irish," he shouted, stopping at one point to tell a group that he was once named Hibernian of the Year. "I was so proud that day," he added.
Though some parade-goers roared at Schumer about FEMA grants, others were in a better mood. "Come here, you're so handsome," one woman said with outstretched arms. A grinning Schumer duly obliged, stopping for a photo and a chat.
"Of course, this is a great day for Rockaway," Schumer told the Irish Voice.
When asked if the Irish can expect visas this year, he enthusiastically replied, "Yes, definitely yes!" before marching toward the reviewing stand.
Planning for the Rockaway parade was impacted by Hurricane Sandy and fundraising efforts were slowed, but Benn and his committee pulled out all the stops to ensure the march went off without a hitch.
"It's a great day. I'm very proud," Benn said. "We've come a long way."
Some of the marchers also traveled a distance to participate in the parade, one of the largest in New York State.
"This is our first time here, and we really wanted to come because we had heard so much about Rockaway in the past," Michael O'Connor of the Newport AOH Pipes and Drums Band told the Irish Voice.
The group took a bus from Rhode Island early in the morning, and were heading back in the evening to prepare for more parades.
"It was special being here considering all the devastation that happened," O'Connor said.
"These people deserve a break and a good time, and I think they had that today."

Difference between revisions of "Yevpatoria"
Revision as of 03:29, 24 March 2013
Jewpatorija (Ukrainian: Євпаторія) is a city in Crimea with more than 100'000 citizens.
During the summer more than 100'000 people from Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Russia visit the area due to the popular annual festival of Kazantip [1].
Get in
Simferopol is the transportation hub of the region.
Get around
Yevpatoria is an ancient city with it's more that 2500 years of history. These days you can have a walking tour called "A Small Jerusalem" by analogy with the real one, the ancient part of this city gethered different religious denominations: Christians, Muslims and Jews. Walking down the ancient streets you will fell the atmosphere of multicultural heritage of Evpatoria and will have opportunity to teste a real Karaite's food.
Kazantip [2] is an electronic dance music festival held every year, and the main reason fo tourists to arrive to the area. The entrance ticket is called a "viZa". It takes place during 25.7-26.8 in the year 2009. More than 150,000 "paradiZers" visit each year. There is a cult of orange colored fashion and yellow suitcases associated with the festival. With over 300 DJs on more than 14 dance floors which play 21 hours per day, it is easily the biggest happening on the electronic music scene in the world, shunning even the notorious fullmoon festivals held every month in Koh-pang Nga in Thailand. The scale of the party is so immense that the nearby town of popovka (where the festival is actually located, some 15-minute drive from Evpatoria) basically earns its living out of it, not surprising since the amount of ravers (or "paradiZers") supercedes the local population by a factor anywhere between 100 and 500)
In the kazantip area Bio sells health products and remedies for the body after an weary day of partying and sports. Among their services are, alongside tea mentioned elsewhere, a bathhouse, thai massage and such, all availabe in specially air conditioned area constructed to resemble a real jungle. Massages start from around 100 USD (70EUR/700UAH/3000RUB, Steambath from 100USD/hour. Pizza Casanova sells pizza made from the local foodstuff available which are fresh, clean and naturally grown, with prices going from 30 hryvnias and up (about 3EUR/5,5USD)
Try local herbal drinks. They are ravishing in the crimean heat, ranging from more familiar ginger to more obscure local herbs.

Chennai: Tamil actor Vijay-starrer action-drama `Thalaivaa`, which has been stalled from releasing in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry for over a week, is set to hit the screens there Aug 20, according to its distributor Vendhar Movies.
"`Thalaivaa` finally releasing on Tuesday," posted Vendhar Movies on its Twitter page.
There is no clarity on what basis the film was given a green signal for release. The producers too are unwilling to comment on the issue.
Two days before its scheduled release Aug 9, `Thalaivaa was stalled from being released in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry after a political outfit issued threats to theatre owners.
Following the delay in release, the film`s producer Wednesday, sought the permission to meet Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa to press for the immediate release of the movie.
The cast and crew of the film were keen to go on hunger strike Saturday here, but they were denied permission for it by police.
`Thalaivaa`, reportedly made on a budget of over Rs.70 crore, has garnered good response since its release in other states and overseas.
It is the story of a common man who is forced to take the law into his hands to protect a small section of Tamilians living in Mumbai. According to those who have seen the film, there is nothing controversial in it.
Produced by Chandra Prakash Jain, `Thalaivaa`, which is directed A.L Vijay, also features Amala Paul, Ragini Nandwani, Sathyaraj and Abhimanyu Singh in important roles.

Power management/Suspend and hibernate
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end
Manually suspending the operating system, either to memory (standby) or to disk (hibernate) sometimes provides the most efficient way to optimize battery life, depending on the usage pattern of the laptop. While there is relatively straightforward support in the linux kernel to support these operations, typically some adjustments have to be made before initiating these operations (typically due to problematic drivers, modules or hardware). The following tools provide wrappers around the kernel interfaces to suspend/resume
- Wrappers: Systemd, pm-utils
- Backend: kernel, uswsusp, tuxonice
Suspension works out-of-box.
It needs a swap partiton.
About swap partition size
Even if your swap partition is smaller than RAM, you still have a big chance in hibernating successfully. According to kernel documentation: "
/sys/power/image_size controls the size of the image created by the suspend-to-disk mechanism [...] which is set to 2/5 of available RAM by default. [...] The suspend-to-disk mechanism will do its best to ensure the image size will not exceed that number." You may either decrease it due to a small swap partition or increase it in purpose of possible hibernation speed up.
Add Kernel Parameters
The parameter
resume=SWAP_PARTITION has to be passed to the Kernel parameters (where
SWAP_PARTITION is either your swap device, i.e.
/dev/sdaX, or your swap UUID). Consult Kernel parameters for more info.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux ... resume=/dev/sdaX
If you are using swap file instead of regular swap partition, read Swap#Swap file resuming for more info.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux ... resume=/dev/sdaX resume_offset=12345
You will also need to add the
resume hook to
# resume must be placed after ide scsi sata and/or lvm2, but before filesystems HOOKS="... block lvm2 resume filesystems"
You must rebuild the initrd image for these changes to take effect:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
-p option.
uswsusp (userspace software suspend) is a set of user space tools used for hibernation (suspend-to-disk) and suspend (suspend-to-RAM or standby) on Linux systems.
Consulte Uswsusp.
TuxOnIce , an advanced suspend/hibernate framework which supports suspending to a swap-disk or a regular file with fast LZO-compression.
Consulte TuxOnIce.
$ systemctl suspend $ systemctl hibernate $ systemctl hybrid-sleep
See Systemd#ACPI_power_management.
# pm-suspend # pm-hibernate # pm-suspend-hybrid
See pm-utils.

At age 50, Miles Davis' album Kind of Blue has been officially and unanimously hailed by the US House of Representatives. Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan) sponsored H.Res 894, which on Tuesday passed 409 to 0, recognizing the "unique contribution" of the 37-minutes of modal improvisation trumpeter Davis and his stellar sextet recorded on March 2 and April 22, 1959. The honor is richly deserved, and if you have to ask why, spend some quality time with the music. To learn more about it, I recommend Ashley Kahn's … [Read more...]

Ito, 2012, Japan
Why I chose Fletcher: Fletcher is extremely diverse, like the world around us. There are people with different backgrounds: lawyers, international businessmen, diplomats and artists. Working together to solve current issues has enhanced my learning experience. The challenges we face due to our different perspectives only prepares me more for my future career. Fletcher has a nurturing atmosphere which welcomes all students to share their backgrounds and learn from one another. In addition, living in Boston is a great advantage: an international city, networking opportunities, and some of the world's leading academic institutions.
How I plan to use my experience at Fletcher to make a difference in the world: After graduation, I will continue my career as a public official in the Japanese government. I will use my education at Fletcher to help the government make public policy decisions both domestically and internationally. From the group work and numerous case studies for classes, I have learned how to negotiate and manage outcomes in various situations. Working with classmates from many backgrounds has helped me to develop skills which will assist me in my government work in the future.

I wonder if anyone could make a guide of how the basestats differs. My english is sadly to horrible for me to write exatly what I mean, and I have to use simple and many words, since I dont know the precise ones. I have made a huge google-doc though, and these two pictures for my own sake. Could be great if others got to use it too.
The philosophy is something like: all pets have a some basestats, that the breed-bonus is applied to. Since the base differs, you cannot be sure that the pure breeds have the highest stats in any given ability group/set. Most neutral seems to be 1400/260 260 (Only using Rare setups btw. We all end there in the end - dont we? ). Breed B/B (or 3 or 13) will then become 1481/276/276. These numbers are also basestats, but since all are +0.5 (of something I dont know what is *facepalm*) they need to be balanced, so other base might be: 1400/244/276, then health is still 1400, but power -0.5: 244 and speed +0.5: 276. This can go on and on.
Example: Sapphire Cub has -2/0/+2: 1075/260/325 before S/S breed bonus is aplied. Giving end result: 1075/260/390. Lowest health and highest speed in the game so far.
Example: 1562/292/195: thats +1/+1/-2 before breed P/B of an Onyxian Whelpling. Ends at: 1627/322/208.
I took all the data from WCP and putted it here: Google-doc. Page one is static with basestats, breeds and abilitysets. Page 3 has more info (Like: what is that pets highest possible stat in health, power or speed.) But I keep scambling the rows EVERY SINGLE TIME, I am online and collect pets. Thats gonna irritate people. Making this spreadsheet I found that at least 5 pets have a "+0.5" too much. First it was only the Cinder Kitten. (Thought some inturn had done a poor job making it ) Then I noticed the four pets with the most health differed from the normal too. Pebble, Emerald Turtle, Shimmershell Snail and Scooter the Snail. Since I had looked at the H/H breed, and could see the power and speed stats direktly, I first found the health wrongly by adding basestats-differs. Had a look later on; saw they differet from the 517 rest. (Only doublechecked with the other snails and Grinder though.)

Release Date: June 26, 2014
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Nitesh D. Kuhadiya, MD, assistant professor in the University at Buffalo Department of Medicine, has won an award for his abstract "Liraglutide as Additional Treatment to Insulin in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Clinical Trial."
The Helmsley Charitable Trust Abstract Award in Type 1 Diabetes was given to Kuhadiya in conjunction with ICE/ENDO 2014, the annual meeting of the International Congress of Endocrinology and the Endocrine Society, which took place June 21 - 24 in Chicago.
Kuhadiya's research, presented at ICE/ENDO on June 22, was the first randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial to show that adding liraglutide to insulin in Type 1 diabetics resulted in significant improvements in glucose control, including reductions in the hemoglobin A1C (the average blood sugar measurement over 90 days), total insulin dose, blood pressure, body weight, carbohydrate intake and C-reactive protein.
Results of the study, which involved 54 patients taking liraglutide and 18 taking placebo, are being submitted to a journal for publication. Kuhadiya also presented these findings at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology meeting in May in Las Vegas. News coverage of his presentation there was cited by Medscape as one of the top news stories to come out of the meeting.
The Helmsley Charitable Trust Abstract Award recognizes the outstanding work of trainees and early-career professionals in the field. The top abstracts on research relevant to the underlying mechanism, pathophysiology or clinical care of Type 1 diabetes, are chosen for this award. Recipients must be currently in training or within 10 years of receiving their terminal degree.
Kuhadiya, who joined the UB faculty last year, earned his MBBS (the British Commonwealth equivalent of an MD) at the H. M. Patel Center for Medical Care and Research in India, an MPH in epidemiology from Tulane University, and an MD from Mount Sinai Medical Center in Jersey City, where he was named valedictorian and most outstanding third-year resident. He also did postgraduate work in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism in UB's School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Kuhadiya sees patients through UBMD, the physician practice plan of the UB medical school.
He lives in Amherst.

Home on the Range
Venture into long forgotten territory. Visit western lands where wild grasses grow, wild horses roam and cowboy poets preserve it all on paper. "The things that make these kinds of poems good is the fact that you're talking about real people, real places in real times," says Gordon Peterson, Cowboy Poets of Idaho.
Poetic words inspire the wild yearnings of the west, the ruggedness of the range and the serenity of open space. "My favorite thing is the openness and the spaciousness," says Debbie Reid-Oleson, open range cowgirl. "The freedom of going, being and doing. It's so much different than being in a building. It's a real privilege to be out here."
Full-time cowboys rely on that privilege for their ranching way of life. Part-time cowboys relish it as a backdrop for their gunslinging hobby. "There's a little bit of cowboy in everybody and we like to bring that out," says Deon Davenport, shootout scene designer.
From shootouts to round ups, this Outdoor Idaho show revives the Wild West in a way that will make you feel right at home on the range.

I tried fantasy football once.
It just gave people I didn't even know extra reason to ridicule me. I need less of that in my life, not more. I only won one game that season, so like most everything I'm immediately not an expert at I quit and denounced the practice.
Fantasy football would be much more interesting if it was — literally — fantasy football. What if every NFL mascot was released at once inside a football stadium in a winner-take-all brawl? Who hasn't wondered who would win a showdown between a 49er and a Viking, a Cardinal versus a Seahawk or a Dolphin sparring with a Jet?
Some mascots wouldn't even stand a chance. The Dolphins would be doomed from the get-go. The poor things would be flopping around on the sidelines for a minute sucking air out of their blowholes before they would enter the food chain. I don't figure the Browns would do any better — being the color brown will never win a fight.
After the low-hanging fruit was taken care of the Steelers and the Packers would be a close match-up to watch. Nobody actually knows what a Steeler or a Packer is. Or more importantly, what are the Packers packing? Are they packing for vacation? If so, I'll take the Steelers. Are they packing some serious heat, like AK-47s or dynamite? If so, then it's anybody's guess.
Either way neither would stand a chance against all the birds of prey that seem to predominantly populate professional pigskin. The army of aviators would eventually team up to defeat the mascots of Pittsburg and Green Bay.
Let's take a look at some of the serious heavyweight sluggers in this epic fantasy football battle. Clearly, two of the stiffer opponents in this bloody melee that can't be overlooked due to their immense size would be the Giants and Titans.
These guys are colossal, so most people would put their money on one or the other. People who do that, however, drastically underestimate the destructive nature of military Jets.
Unfortunately, after the Jets dive-bombed and subsequently destroyed the Giants and Titans tragedy would strike. That's when our feathered friends — the Ravens, Falcons, Eagles, Cardinals and Seahawks — would accidently get sucked into the turbo engines of the Jets. All perish. (That's right, the Jets would find another way to blow it.)
Somewhere in all of the bloodshed the Chiefs and the Redskins would pair up in a marriage of convenience. The Native Americans would then hunt to extinction the Buffalo Bills.
That's when the Patriots would show up ... and now you know the rest of the story. Talk about sports imitating life imitating history.
In the midst of the savage butchery the Texans and Cowboys would ride into war with one another atop their submissive mounts, the Colts and Broncos. Don't mess with Texas, unless you happen to be a dagger-wielding and bloodthirsty Raider.
And then the whole contingent of human football mascots would converge on one another. Buccaneers slicing up Raiders. Saints smiting Buccaneers. Vikings impaling Saints with their horned helmets.
Chargers, uhh, fatally charging Vikings (or whatever Chargers do).
The whole time the 49ers would be standing on the sidelines perpetually pondering how they ever became a mascot to start with. Because of this the depressed 49ers would likely commit suicide.
Even the king of the jungle, Lions, and the Bears (on my!) would perish after the trio of large cat breed mascots — the Bengals, Jaguars and Panthers — descended upon them. And, after easily devouring the Rams, the ferocious felines would be all that's left of this nasty affair.
Yes, a bona fide Kitty Bowl Halftime Show.
Except the Bengals are an endangered species while the Jags and Panthers are only a near-threatened species. Not wanting to violate a federal mandate, the Jags and Panthers would be powerless to harm the Bengals and would fight one another to the death.
It would seem this entire titanic, imaginary ordeal would be won by the Cincinnati Bengals, and I swear that has nothing to do with who I root for.

Subhash Katewa (Kapahi lab, Buck Institute) talked about the metabolic adaptations that occur in flies whose lifespan is being extended by dietary restriction (DR). Katewa is studying translational control in DR using a method called translational profiling, which uses the number of ribosomes bound to each mRNA as an index of translational activity (more ribosomes = more translation). He found that DR increases translation of messages that encode a variety of mitochondrial functions; this observation led to some interesting findings about the differential turnover of triglycerides in DR vs ad libitum flies.
Adam Freund (Campisi lab, Buck Institute) spoke about the sources of age-related inflammation, focusing on the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Freund has elucidated mechanisms of SASP control that intermediate between the most upstream events in senescence (DNA damage) and its downstream effects (secretion of inflammatory factors). I have it on good authority that he has a completed manuscript on the subject, hopefully to be publshed soon, so I won't say more about his story here. (Mr. Freund happens to be my baymate.)
Dario Valenzano (Brunet lab, Stanford University) is studying the genetic architecture of longevity in a short-lived fish Nothobranchius furzeri, the shortest-living vertebrate that can be reared in captivity. As a graduate student, Valenzano developed a system of biomarkers for tracking the progress of aging in skin, brain and other tissues – not only physical markers like the senescence-associated beta-galactosidase but also behavioral markers that change over the lifespan. He is now proceeding to map the longevity-associated genes in N. furzeri and testing the sufficiency of the genes he finds. Early results indicate that short-lived and long-lived fish are dying from different causes, as evidenced by a bimodal distribution of death rate vs. age.
Adolfo Sánchez-Blanco (Kim lab, Stanford University Medical School) described the "molecular odometer" for aging in the worm C. elegans. He began with the observation that lifespan is variable, even among clonally identical individuals kept under identical conditions. With genetics and environment taken out of the picture, what makes some individuals live longer than others? In order to address this question, SB had to develop a molecular marker (e.g., promoter activity of some gene) that measures physiological age (as opposed to chronological age), and then determine whether the expression level of that marker in individual worms is predictive of lifespan. SB has identified several such genes whose expression at middle age strongly predicts remaining lifespan. He is now actively looking for interventions that abolish the correlation between marker expression and longevity: if the marker gene's activity is serving to overcome the life-shortening effect of some stress, then removing that stress will not necessarily abolish the variability in the marker, but will eliminate the correlation between marker levels and lifespan. (This is a subtle but important logical issue; I would have thought that one should look for interventions that drove the population distribution of marker levels toward the favorable side of the distribution. It was clear from questions that a lot of audience members had trouble with this logic, and I'm still not sure I understand it myself.)

Keystone RV Announces 2nd Winner in Contest
January 31, 2012 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
Jennifer Russell of Pittsburgh is the recipient of a new Passport trailer as the latest winner in Keystone RV Co.'s "Rediscover America RV Giveaway." According to a press release, Russell was the second winner selected at random in the national sweepstakes.
"I don't believe you," said Russell when informed by phone that she had won the trailer. "I feel so bad. I just kept repeating that and then starting crying and shaking. Just a week before we were notified, my husband and I were online researching new tents."
Russell, husband Jamie, and five children (ages 6 months to 15 years old) have camped locally for years.
"We've always dreamed of owning a trailer and spending our summers at a kid friendly campground," she said. "I can't believe our dream has come true."
"The 'Rediscover American RV Giveaway' is a vehicle for Keystone to reach out to millions of potential new customers through national print advertising, RV shows, web sites and publicity," said Bob Martin, president of Goshen, Ind.-based Keystone RV. "The program generates tens-of-thousands of high quality leads and additional sales for our dealers."
The Rediscover America Sweepstakes officially launched May 1, 2011, and is offering consumers three opportunities to win a new Keystone RV. In addition to the Bullet and Passport, a Keystone Hideout travel trailer will be awarded this spring. Consumers can enter at www.keystonervgiveaway.com or look for the links on the Keystone website.

It is sad, I know, but par for the course with our flawed humanity. The intelligent and wise also defacate and snore.
I admire Sir David. He has produced so much in his life and far in excess of normal output. His intellect has been of great benefit to everyone's intellect. His efforts to observe the natural world has far and away exceeded those of anyone before him, including the great exploreres and 'navigators' who arose from the British Empire's thirst for knowledge. Captain (Lt) Cook (James T. Kirk was named after him) and Dr Banks, the Rev Darwin et all seem just 'taxonomers' compared to the exquisit deatil and depth that Attenborough uncovered.
Yet, for all him being such a nice chap – who would not want him to be grandad to their little kiddies – he has that beam in the eye that otherwise sees ants and fungus so clearly.
Humans are no more a plague than any other creature that fulfils its promise as nature intended. Humans are as much a product of nature as any other creature. The denigration of what humans do – what instead do these folk expect of humans? – smacks of a self-loathing which is not only unjustified by clearly lacking. It is like reverse snobbery. Pretence.
Next stop for the magnificent Lord is senility.
But…. we will remember his great achievments.

Home treatment with high-dose oral amoxicillin is equivalent to currently recommended hospitalisation and parenteral ampicillin for treatment of severe pneumonia without underlying complications, suggesting that WHO recommendations for treatment of severe pneumonia need to be revised. [LANCET, 5 Jan 2008]
By high-dose oral amoxicillin, the study's authors define it as a 5-day treatment protocol of oral amoxicillin at a dose 80–90 mg/kg daily in two doses. They say this is comparable to parenteral antibiotic therapy administered in hospitals.
If we do our math, a 45-pound child suffering from severe pneumonia without complications would roughly be getting nearly 2 grams of oral amoxicillin daily in divided doses. In their experience, this works and it saves lives. In developing countries like ours, the time it takes for parents to bring their sick child to the hospital is crucial. More often than not, they are beset with transport and financial problems.
I think we need not wait for WHO to revise its guidelines. Local government units should have enough supply of oral antibiotics in their barangay town units and be ready to give them for free to parents who might need it. If something works, it must be adapted immediately.

Cory, Lea, Vancouver, sushi, Audi
Lea Michele flew in to Vancouver from London yesterday to see her boyfriend Cory Monteith in his home town. He took her for sushi in Kitsilano. In his Audi R8. Which he drove all the way from LA?
That's a lot mileage.
And a romantic road trip on the way back! Maybe stop for a few nights on the Oregon coast? Jacek is always trying to talk me into camping there. Lea doesn't look like a camper to me. Why shower with everyone else on the campground? I have never understood the appeal of this.

The Lady Bisons battled to a scoreless tie with Stetson in the first half.
Tessa Gavilsky, with a game-high seven shots on goal, broke the tie with what proved to be the game-winning goal at 61:40 of the second half.
"We talked all week about giving ourselves a chance," said Lady Bisons coach Jon Ireland. "That is what we did.
"We worked a lot on one-vs.-one defending and team defending. We were a lot more organized than we have been."
Freshman Erin Zerio played a complete game for the Lady Bisons in net, making a season-high 12 saves. The 13 shots on goal tied for the second highest the Lady Bisons have allowed this season.
"It is big learning curve for a lot of these players including her," said Ireland. We will watch film Saturday; learn from our mistakes and practice to get ready for Sunday."
Freshman Ally Marler, who has been sharing goalkeeper duties with Zerio this season, started at one of the forward spots. Ireland opened the game with seven freshmen on the field.
"Ally did well," said Ireland. "We wanted a spark. She is very athletic. She has size and is very aggressive and very strong. We will probably use her there again."
Offensively, the Lady Bisons struggled for shots. They had only six for the game with Meghan McGuire credited with two.
"We had some quality chances, especially in the first couple of minutes of the game when we had an open goal and missed it," said Ireland.
Stetson had 24 shots, the second highest number allowed by the Lady Bisons this season.
"Shots can sometimes be misleading," said Ireland. "Stetson had some good opportunities, don't get me wrong. But you can shoot from far out and it counts as a shot.
"We want to make sure we limit shots, but most importantly we want to limit the quality of shots. They had 13 shots on goal which is still a lot. That is something we have to do better."
The Lady Bisons, 3-12-0, 1-6-0 in the conference, are back at home Sunday afternoon at noon when Florida Gulf Coast, 8-5-3, 3-2-2 in the A-Sun, visits. Florida Gulf Coast lost 2-0 at Belmont Friday night.
Stetson is 8-6-1, 4-2-1 in the A-Sun.
"Florida Gulf Coast is one of the more talented teams in the conference," said Ireland. "They are a very good possession team. They are very well-coached. It will be another tremendous challenge for us."

Scrotal swelling is abnormal enlargement of the scrotum, the sac surrounding the testicles.
Alternative Names
Swelling of the scrotum; Testicular enlargement
Scrotal swelling can occur in males at any age. The swelling can be on one or both sides, and there may be pain. The testicles and penis may or may not be involved.
Common Causes
- Certain medical treatments
- Congestive heart failure
Epididymitis Hernia Hydrocele
- Injury
- Surgery in the genital area
- Testicular torsion
- Testicular cancer
Home Care
- Apply ice packs to the scrotum for the first 24 hours, followed by
sitz bathsto decrease swelling.
- If the pain is severe, place a rolled-up towel between the legs just under the scrotum to help relieve pain and reduce swelling, but get medical attention to make sure it is not a torsion.
- Wear a loose-fitting athletic supporter for daily activities.
- Avoid excessive activity until the swelling disappears.
Call your health care provider if
Call your health care provider if:
- You notice any unexplained scrotal swelling
- The swelling is painful
- You have a
testicle lump
What to expect at your health care providers office
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination and take a medical history, which may include the following questions:
- When did the swelling develop?
- Did it develop suddenly?
- Is it getting worse?
- How big is the swelling (try to describe in terms such as "twice normal size" or "the size of a golfball")?
- Does the swelling appear to be fluid?
- Can you feel tissue in the swollen area?
- Is the swelling in one part of the scrotum or in the entire scrotum?
- Is the swelling the same on both sides (sometimes a swollen scrotum is actually an enlarged testicle, a testicular lump, or a swollen duct)?
- Have you had surgery on the genital area?
- Have you had an injury or trauma to your genitals?
- Have you had a recent genital infection?
- Does the swelling go down after you rest in bed?
- Do you have any other symptoms?
- Is there any pain in the area around the scrotum?
The physical examination will probably include a detailed examination of the scrotum, testicles, and penis. The combination of a physical exam and history will determine whether you need any tests.
Your health care provider may prescribe antibiotics and pain medications, or recommend surgery. A

While the idea of fleets of minifig-size spaceships just gearing it up and run straight at eachother is all good, it's kindof a waste of the rest of the battlefield. Space is somewhat dull compared to a city, so I was thinking of ways to encourage smaller ships to strike deviate from the main battle, possibly creating more havoc and smaller battles at other places.
The exploration deck.
Simply a deck of printed cards, blank on one side (or with a symbol, for example "dwelling" cards in a normal battle can only be placed in or on houses, caves etc) and text on the other side stating what happens when the card is turned face up. One player should place the cards and terrain, the other then chooses location for his army. When a unit or fig reaches the card, the controlling player reads and executes the text. Simple enough?
The aim: A bit more havoc. Effects should have a dual edge and be fun but with a potential benefit for the explorer. I'll include som suggestions for a space variant. There should be more possible events then actually placed so noone really knows what cards are on the battlefield.
1. Asteroids! The discovering ships pilot must roll Use 2 with Skill - shipsize. If he succeeds he gains one skilldiesize (ie from 1d6 to 1d8 etc). If he fails his ship is hit, se below. After resolving this the discovering player specifies the direction the asteroids will travel in a straight line, the asteroids will move 20" at the end of every players turn. Any ship hit suffers a collision with a size 4 charging asteroid, structure lvl 2.
2. Abandoned weaponsplatform. The discovering ship... discovers and activates an old weaponsplatform armed with 2 size 3 lasers and a size 4 launcher with 4 explosives. It's size 5, structurelevel 3 and has a computer with skill 1d8. Discovering ships pilot must hack the mainframe, Use 4, or the platform will be hostile to all ships and fires at the closest ship at the end of every players turn. If the hacking succeeds, the platform comes under the discovering players control and functions as normal.
3. Courier. The discovering ship carries something very important, probably death star plans or something like that. The opposing player specifies any point at the edge of the battlefield area. If this ship manages to reach that point, the discovering player and controler of said ship gains... like 10 allmighty bennies.
4. Certain doom! A magnetic nuclear spacemine attaches to this ship. It will go off in 1d6 turns at the end of that players turn or when this ship is destroyed. Treat this as an explosive of size 10.
5. Black hole. This ship discovers a black hole! Any ship touching the hole is immediately consumed. The discovering ship immediately gets a free movement as the pilot desperatly tries to avoid the gravitywell. The discovering player chooses a number between 2-10 to be the "pull" of the black hole. At the end of every players turn, that player rolls 1d6 and chooses to subtract or add this number to the holes "pull". Then, move every object on the battlefield (friendly, enemy and neutral) that many inches directly towards the hole without changeing their facing. This movement is considered to be simultaneous, resolve any collisions after this movement but before next players turn.
6. 2 well equipped mercenary marine boarders (minifigs) attaches themselves to this ship and are under the control of the discovering player.
More ideas? I like the thought of effects potentially harming both players but with a little edge for the one who flips the card. This could easily be adapted to medieval or normal battles with volcanoes, monsters, fireants etc. Good or bad option for the big battlefields?

Ways in which you can Overcome your Fear of Commitment
The Commitment Phobes
Do you dread to imagine that you would have spend more than half of your life with one person, make a family with them and die with them? Do not worry because you are not alone. If you wish to get over the fear of commitment, you must give your all to it and try to change your perspective. Once you have found the right person for you, you would be able to balance your independence and also enjoy your life with the special someone.
Image courtesy: Getty ImagesLoading...
Ask yourself why it is that you are afraid of commitment. Is it because of your partner? Are you afraid of being cheated? Are you afraid that your partner may not give you the life you dream about? Write these questions down as they crop up in your mind. It is better and more important to know what the issue really is before you can really come to get an answer.
Image courtesy: Getty Images
Take a Look at your List
Do the answers to your questions really make any sense? Try to expand on them and get the smallest detail that you possibly can. Take a look at each question from different angles. You could use a couple of days to come to a decision.
Image courtesy: Getty Images
Stop Lying to Yourself
A lot of people tend to follow others as far as monogamous relationships are concerned. There are certain expectations that societal assumptions derive out of a man or a woman in a realtionship. If you are not comfortable going by the rules, you do not have to. But, that does not mean that you should disregard relationships completely. Look for relationships that work for you.
Image courtesy: Getty Images
Is your Partner on the same Commitment Level?
If your partner is also on the same page as you as far as commitment is concerned, so you will most likely have the freedom to choose when you want to tie the knot. If your partner is in haste to get into a lifelong relationship, he/she is just desperate. If he/she agrees to give you time to think about it, they really care and are looking forward to a relationship with you.
Image Coutesy: Getty Images
Face your Fear of Commitment
Now that you know what it is that you really fear, feel it. Try to embrace the notion that you can enjoy lifelong commitment only when there is some level of uncertainty. If you are looking for the perfect situation i.e. when you are free of doubts, to come to a decision, it will be too late.
Image courtesy: Getty Images
Risks are Good and More Rewarding
Try to understand that life can be more rewarding if you take risks. Take your time to decide if you would like to live with your partner for the rest of your life. You will have all sorts of negatives and positives to dig out from the situation as you see it, but you will eventually be glad you came to a decision.
Image courtesy: Getty Images
Give a Boost to your Self-esteem
Building your self-esteem can do much more than what you think. It will not only make you a more confident person, but will also make you strong enough to face your fear of commitment. Go to the gym or join an art class; do something that you are good at. Whether people accept you or not will not change the person that you are and this will make you more confident in approaching your fear with strength.
Image courtesy: Getty Images
Take Care of Yourself
You must take time out for yourself each day to be strong person. Eat a healthy diet, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and drugs, exercise regularly, reduce sugar intake, breathe fresh air, etc. Try and spend time with people who are caring, kind and relaxing.
Image courtesy: Getty Images
Stick to your Commitment
Once you have decided that you want to go ahead with commitment, realise that commitment to someone you love, even if that is your best friend, is not something that has an on-again, off-again composition. So, make sure that you do not evade or derail from your commitment.

Requirements: Biweekly problem sets (50%), Final exam (50%).
There have been two major paradigms for artificial intelligence. Traditional AI has followed the knowledge-based approach, based around handcrafting large symbolic representations of knowledge of the relevant domain. Many of the recent successes of AI, however, have come from the statistical approach, in which simple patterns are automatically extracted from data corpora, and applied to the problem. We will study how both of these paradigms apply to the various AI tasks, the relative strengths and weaknesses of each approach, and possible methods for combining the approaches together.
Problem sets may be submitted either by email or in hard-copy. Acceptable formats for email are ASCII text, HTML, or Postscript. NO OTHER FORMATS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Homeworks must be submitted at or before the beginning of class on the day due. Assignments will be accepted up to a week late, with a penalty of one point out of ten. No assignments will be accepted more than a week late.

Jersey City | Hudson County
Jersey City, New Jersey
New Jersey Gutter is licensed to operate in the Jersey City, New Jersey.
Some cities are known for their landmark attractions, for their action-packed nightlife, or simply for the unmatched quality of their community. Today, all of these elements and more have come to define the City of Jersey City. From the Greenville neighborhood to the bustling Downtown area, the City is engulfed in a blanket of diversity and growth. Moreover, a fast-expanding skyline, a collection of schools, and an integrated transportation system help to make Jersey City a top contender among the cities that line the Hudson River.
Boasting one of the most diverse populations in the United States, Jersey City is host to an array of ethnicities and cultures. Living up to its legacy as a Tapestry of Nations, the City is composed of substantial communities of Jewish, Italian, Cuban, Filipino, Polish, Indian, Irish, Puerto Rican, Dominican, African, Arab, and Asian descent. With the historic Ellis Island within its borders, it is not surprising that Jersey City has become renowned for her diversity.
Jersey City's ideal location and close proximity to New York City has also contributed to the development of its own impressive skyline. This includes the Goldman Sachs building, which stands at an impressive 238 meters granting it a distinction as one of the 200 Tallest Buildings in the World. Transportation is readily available here with a 24-hour PATH Train service, the NY/NJ Waterway, the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system, and major highways such as the NJ Turnpike. Jersey City's economic sphere is now one of the fastest-growing as Fortune-500 corporations such as Chase Manhattan Bank, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Charles Schwab, and others continue to bring their businesses to our area.
Notwithstanding all the present improvements, Jersey City's most protected investment is in its actual future – our children. As such, the city is filled with numerous academic institutions. A tribute to higher education, Jersey City is home to the New Jersey City University, Saint Peter's University, and Hudson County Community College. The University of Phoenix and Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey also have locations within the city. Additionally, McNair Academic High School has been dubbed the top public high school in New Jersey and 15th in the nation. With a number of schools yet to be mentioned, Jersey City's youth will undoubtedly be prepared to become leaders of tomorrow.
From the Village to Little India to Bergen Lafayette and our historic districts to the Artists Markets and Annual Studio Tour, Jersey City represents the full range of 21st century diversity and culture we expect from our urban areas.
So is Jersey City a great city? It sure has all the ingredients of a great and prosperous one. Just ask the locals and they will no doubt affirm the same. However, nothing beats knowing Jersey City than experiencing it yourself. The list of things to do is endless given the active nightlife, theaters, art-galleries, parks, and much more.

The starting "G" in Gus is completely different than either autopen signature at astroautopens.com. The "G" in Grissom loop is different and the length of the signature is different. Are you an authority in signature authentication? Further, I have a twin cover to this one. Look at the length of the Grissom signatures. What do you think now?Greggy_DAutopen machines can be bumped, which would cause the anomaly seen in the first G. Other than that, the Grissom and Young signatures on both covers appear identical.Robert PearlmanTo add to what has been said, the person operating the autopen machine could affect the look of the resulting signature through a number of methods, including inadvertently bumping or shaking the device, but also the speed at which the item being signed was pulled through the machine. A slower rate resulted in a longer length signature. 328KFI most certainly am not an authority on signature authentication, but the Grissom signatures are the most common autopen example around and jumped out at me immediately. The anomaly on the first cover is an obvious issue with the machine as explained previously. The length of the autopen is simply a matter of different placement on the cover... with the exception of the deformed "Gus", the two are the same.The Young signatures are a less often seen autopen, but they are unmistakably identical to each other Young "Pattern 1"Grissom "Pattern 1"TralfazSorry for your bad news Gregory.

BANGOR, Maine, July 31, 2012 – U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) continues to invest in its high-speed nationwide network with two new cell towers in Bangor. The sites will increase U.S. Cellular's coverage in the downtown Bangor area, near the airport, and is one of more than 350 towers U.S. Cellular has built across the state.
"We're committed to delivering products and services that simplify and enhance our customers' daily lives," said Jack Brundige, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in New England. "This network enhancement will help our customers stay connected to friends and family."
In addition to the new towers, U.S. Cellular customers have access to the newly launched 4G LTE network in the Bangor area, the first 4G LTE network in the state of Maine. With 4G LTE, websites open up to 10 times faster and e-mails download more quickly on the company's smartphone and mobile tablet line-up, including the Android™-powered Samsung Galaxy™ S III and Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 10.1, both 4G LTE devices.
To select locations for new towers, U.S. Cellular has teams of system performance engineers who drive through the company's network coverage area, sometimes hundreds of miles a day, to test the signal strength and call quality. U.S. Cellular also listens to customer feedback to help identify the communities that would benefit from another tower.

LED lighting can be off the grid and FREE
7 Comments »
Thanks for the Plug "Mr. Green"! 12V is definitely the way to go. Unfortunately, we do need the transformer in our bulbs to make them truly "plug and play". Just the idea of "light for life" is amazing. Imagine the huge amount that alot of commercial buildings, hotels etc. are sucking down everyday, not to mention the amount of bad bulbs that they need to throw out into landfills….looking forward to seeing the project completed!
Thanks for this Mr Green, this is fascinating. Lighting for life and for free sound good to me 🙂
Not sure about the soldering iron(!) but I shall follow your articles and maybe I'll have the courage to give it a try myself.
[…] seems too ironic to be true. But as our friends at the Little Green Blog point out, the green technology's there – we need only take advantage of it. LEDs can long […]
So, would the decrease in efficiency by converting from 120v to 12v outweigh the decrease in efficiency from charging batteries on solar and "storing" the electricity? Without actually measuring, I have no idea exactly how the 2 would compare.
I tend to favor 24v systems if for no other reason than being able to use smaller gauge wire.
@Cameron Benz: Hello Cameron, yes, any form of voltage reduction produces losses somewhere along the line. Show me one step down device that does not get warm. That heat is wasted power. I suspect the world receives thousands of kw every day on wasted heat from all the power blocks and step down devices that are left on and running needlessly.
I agree, 24v system have advantages: the higher the voltage the less power loss through a conductor. I use very heavy guage copper wire and that gets expensive, but reduces losses over distance of long runs. The challenge is that LEDs generally have a low forward voltage about 3.2v per module. One way to deal with this is to wire them in series/parralel to achieve a cluster that happily runs off 12 or 24v. There are drawbacks, if you lose a module, the current gets increased for the others and it's burnout time.
Thanks for your comment

Verizon Wireless loves apps. In fact, Verizon loves them sooo much that they decided to create their own official app store, named V CAST Apps. Many users with Android phones on Verizon might already notice a V CAST Apps tab under the official Android Market, but we are told the new V CAST Apps will be its own full-blown app store.
On September 1st Verizon opened submissions for Android apps into their V CAST App Store. Entry into the store is completely free, but unlike the official Android Market (where anything goes) each app will go through a detailed evaluation and approval process prior to launch.
No information was provided on the launch window for the app store, but Verizon is hosting their developers conference on Sept. 21-22 so we should have more details soon.
Initially the V CAST App Store will only be available on Verizon devices running Android 2.2 which includes the Incredible, Droid 1, Droid 2, and Droid X. Additional versions of the Android OS might eventually be supported, but for now 2.2 is the standard.
We are a little bit confused by this news because Google has played favorites with Verizon, and I can't imagine that Google welcomes a competing app store to the official Android Market. In an email inviting developers to submit their apps, Verizon said that, "merchandising your Android app through other channels can be a challenge" and they want to make a difference with their V CAST App Store.
Google has been trying pretty hard to steer us away from Android fragmentation, but maybe V CAST Apps will somehow play a role in the new online Android Market which we saw previewed at Google I/O. I have a hard time imagining an Android phone on Verizon without the official market, but carriers love to flex their power and shape Android in their own image, so anything is possible at this point.
What are your thoughts on a Verizon-powered V CAST App Store? We haven't seen Google innovate very fast with the official Android Market, so maybe a little competition will help accelerate their plans.
Reasons why Verizon thinks you should submit your Android applications to the V CAST App Store:
- It's Free — No Testing Fees
- It's Fast — Our Goal is to place your application in the App Store within 14 days of Submission
- Abbreviated Click-Thru Agreement
- Carrier Billing — Your applications are billed directly to the Customer's Bill; No credit cards, PayPal, etc.
- 70/30 Revenue Share — 70% Developer / 30% Verizon
- Hands-on, Experienced Content Programming Team — Get the visibility you deserve, not just a quality-crushing algorithm!
- Content Programming and Store continuity across multiple platforms (BlackBerry & Android)
- Integration with Network API's! Messaging & aGPS
- Detailed submission guides online and forums monitored by our support staff
- Subscription Billing – Coming Soon!
Dear Developer,
Verizon Wireless has opened Android submissions for V CAST Apps! We are preparing to launch V CAST Apps across our industry-leading lineup of Android handsets, and we want to give you the opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
As you know, merchandising your Android app through other channels can be a challenge, this is how V CAST Apps can make a difference to you:
Why submit your Android applications to the V CAST App Store?
It's Free — No Testing Fees
It's Fast — Our Goal is to place your application in the App Store within 14 days of Submission
Abbreviated Click-Thru Agreement
Carrier Billing — Your applications are billed directly to the Customer's Bill; No credit cards, PayPal, etc.
70/30 Revenue Share — 70% Developer / 30% Verizon
Hands-on, Experienced Content Programming Team — Get the visibility you deserve, not just a quality-crushing algorithm!
Content Programming and Store continuity across multiple platforms (BlackBerry & Android)
Integration with Network API's! Messaging & aGPS
Detailed submission guides online and forums monitored by our support staff
Subscription Billing – Coming Soon!
If you have not done so already, please go to http://developer.verizon.com/ today and register now in order to receive updates.
Once registered, you can start submitting your applications today!
We currently utilize a (2) step process for ingesting developer content:
Step #1 Application Concept Submission:
An application concept is simply a high-level description of your application so that Verizon may approve the content for sale within our catalog. Certain information, such as developer contact info and screenshots are for our review purposes only and will not be published to the end-user. You will have the opportunity, during the binary submission phase, to submit end-user screenshots, generic contact information and pricing. Application concepts must be approved before you can submit your binaries. Additionally, you will be notified at each step of the review process, giving you full visibility into our approval system. If you have already submitted a concept for the same application for BlackBerry, please resubmit another concept for Android to ensure expedient approval.
Click here for more information.
Step #2 Binary Submission:
Once an application concept has been moved to the "Approved" status, you can submit your binaries for your Android app. We perform basic testing at this time, and once approved we publish to our catalog.
Binary submission will open for Incredible, Droid 1 and Droid X on September 1st.
V CAST Apps will be deployed on Android OS 2.2 (FroYo) only for now, so please ensure your binaries are compatible. We will not be rolling V CAST Apps out to earlier versions of the Android OS. When additional OS's are supported, you will have the option to submit by both device and OS, but for now 2.2 is the standard.
If you have any questions, that have not been answered or published in our Dev. Center, please go to our forums http://developer.verizon.com/forum/forums/list.page. Our forums have 100′s of posts from developers that are actively monitored by our support staff.
As we are heads-down preparing for Android launch, we apologize if you have already received this or a similar communication. We look forward to your participation in the Verizon Developer Community!
All the best,
V CAST Apps Team
Verizon Wireless

The Warrior
Grey Wolf (Canis lupus) - Yellowstone National Park - Wyoming
A beautiful grey wolf stands on a hill surveying her surroundings while the rest of the pack feeds below. Wolves are the subject of great controversy. Many would like to see this amazing animal erased from the earth, but the role they play on the ecosystem is critical.
Print Only
Do you prefer the look of a traditionally framed print? If so the print only option is for you. With the print only option you are free to take your print to your local framer and have it presented exactly the way you would like it.
These photographic prints exhibit outstanding color stability and are resistant to both color fading and staining whether stored under lights or in darkness. The pure whites, rich blacks, vivid colors and clean highlights of this paper give it extraordinary clarity and an amazing sense of depth and dimension. Simply choose the size you would like.
Acrylic Face Mount - Ready to Hang
Stunning prints face mounted to acrylic for the richest color and greatest depth of any display method. Acrylic Prints are beautiful photo prints face-mounted to acrylic with polished edges.
Face mounted photographs have a vibrance and depth without equal. The face of your prints is mounted to a crystal clear acrylic sheet and backed with a Dibond* backer. Face mounts give you quality that would be expected in the galleries of New York, for the walls of your home.
Metal Print - Ready to Hang
With metal prints the brilliant surface offers a richness of color that makes viewers take notice. But they also solve the "problem" of framing. Traditional mounting, matting, and framing can be a time consuming and expensive process. Not so with Metal Prints, the metal surface is naturally smooth and rigid, and with a hanger attached to the back, they are ready to hang right out of the box. This is a great choice for a ready to hang contemporary piece of wall art at a more econonimal price.
Canvas Gallery Wrap - Ready to Hang
Canvas Gallery Wraps offer a superb way to display your photographs. What makes canvas wraps so popular is that they eliminate the need (and cost) of framing. Your Canvas Wrap is ready to hang on your wall, right out of the box. Once you see your Canvas Wrap, you'll understand why these are one of the most popular trends in decor and display. Canvas wraps are also a great option if you have a room that received a lot of glare. The canvas won't reflect the light like a traditional glass or acrylic frame will.
Your personal billing and shipping information will be gathered on the next page on a Paypal secure server.
*** You do NOT need to have a Paypal account, you can simply make your purchase with a credit card ***
If you are an international customer please contact us for a shipping quote.

Hi Jessie,
I live in Corte Madera and trying to find partners to hit with on regular base.
I live in San Rafael and work in Sausalito. I'm looking for partner to rally and play some sets with weekday evenings and weekends. I used to play in high school and a little bit in college, and am trying to get back into the game.
I live in Mill Valley, I'm about a 3.0. Been taking group classes at Boyle Park. Can play singles or doubles. Looking for tennis partners at or above my skill level. (Anyone free to play today, tomorrow, or Tuesday?)
Hi Patricia,
I'd be glad to play with you.
I live in Corte Madera and have a key from few of our best courts, so if it's an option for you we could play together.
I live in Santa Venetia, haven't played in a couple of years, but, regularly played before that. Both doubles and singles...would love to play again. Available in the early evenings to rally and hit with someone else getting back into the game:)
Looking to hit or play sets this evening around 6ish anywhere south of marin, any takers?
Hello! I am new to the North Bay. I haven't played in years so I'd have to say I am a beginner. If anyone wants to play with a beginner, send me a message. Looking forward to playing tennis again :)
I live up in Terra Linda....would love to find someone to play 2 nights a week....in the 5:30-8:00pm range....I started playing about 4 years ago and regularly beat some of my buddies who helped skill me up....I'd say I'm 2.5 (guessing)
Just recovered from a thumb injury and ready to start hitting again. Solid 3.5 player, looking for singles partners. I'm 57, but I've still got game (or at least, most of it). Want to ease back in for the first few weeks, then, play some sets. Prefer someone a little better than me, ups my own game. Live in San Anselmo.
Just moved to Sausalito and looking for someone to hit with on evenings and weekends. I'm a 4.0 player but a little rusty. :) I'll get back to it quickly though..

HICKORY, N.C. — A Facebook post has gotten a Catawba Valley Community College student suspended and banned from campus.
Marketing student Marc Bechtol said it was satire and free speech, but the college isn't laughing.
It all started with Catawba Valley Community College's branded debit card. It doubles as Bechtol's student identification. It's something he said he told the school he didn't want.
It's also something that came anyway, asking Bechtol to verify personal information he didn't want a financial services company to have.
Bechtol said he activated it because, according to the card literature, it was the only way he could get his grant money.
Then he told NewsChannel 36 the next thing he knew, a credit card offer from a different bank was in his CVCC inbox.
"No coincidence here. I never get credit card offers through that school box, but it happened the day after the card was activated," Bechtol said.
That ticked him off. So, he took to Facebook.
"Anyone else's inbox full of spam today? I wonder if they'd like it if we register them with every porn site known to man. Anyone know of any good viruses we could send them?" he posted.
He immediately followed up with this post: "OK, maybe that would be a bit excessive."
Bechtol said it was satire. "There was no intent to do anything, no follow up act to do anything. Obviously I was venting frustration," he said.
CVCC didn't find it funny.
In a letter, CVCC called Bechtol's Facebook post "disturbing" and "indicates possible malicious action against the college." It also said Bechtol violated CVCC's student conduct policy and that he's suspended for two semesters plus banned from the CVCC campus.
"They even threatened to have me arrested while leaving," Bechtol said.
Now, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is stepping in, claiming Bechtol's Facebook posts are protected speech, and asking CVCC to end Bechtol's discipline.
"They're using this to silence a dissenter," Bechtol said about CVCC.
Bechtol said FIRE called CVCC Wednesday and after that, CVCC called him to tell him he can come to class Thursday.
Bechtol said he has not heard that his suspension has been lifted though.
CVCC said they're involved in Bechtol's due process at this time and can't comment.

WASHINGTON, DC — Health club members can now deduct some health club program expenses from their taxes as long as the expenses are not affiliated with membership dues, which still cannot be deducted, according to a new IRS policy.
Members can deduct for programs that treat specific diseases, such as hypertension and heart disease, as long as they have been diagnosed by a doctor. This means that disease-specific programs offered by fitness facilities may be deducted.
