My story began in Oct. 2008 when I was only 23 years old. I had a large tumor growing out of the side of my face.
My story begins one February night in 2002 when I went out to a night club. It was the infamous Rhode Island Station Club.
For this 30-something, it wasn't about what other people thought - this was about how I felt. My name is Freddy and I had thinning on the top of my head and some on the crown.
My name is Eray and I'm 45 years old. I first started noticing my hair loss when I was 37 years old.
Originally I came into Dr. Sandoval's office looking for hair transplantation into the crown area since that area seemed to me to be most evident.
I had been contemplating undergoing a hair transplant for several years.
Indirectly, my hair restoration helped to "lower my cholesterol" and "improve my dancing".
I did not plan to get a hair transplant.
I was doing a seminar and there were lots of pictures taken, and after receiving them, I realized how much older I looked than I really am.
My name is Matt and in my late 30's is when I noticed I was losing my hair. After seeing Dr.
When I was asked "what made this a good experience," I decided to reflect on myself, the patient.
Hairpiece Removed without Notice. After years of wearing a hairpiece, I finally decided I wanted a more natural solution for my hair loss.
It was on vacation when for the first time in my life, I had gotten sunburned on the top of my head.
"I did not like losing my hair. I was in a state of denial for many years going with shorter and shorter haircuts.
I went for a consultation. Dr. Goertz introduced himself and he is a very warm and accommodating professional. He answered all of my questions....
Dr. Porcaro and his staff educated me as to what to expect and how the surgery would be performed. Everything Dr. Porcaro and his staff promised, they delivered, I am grateful to Dr.
I am a 52 year old man. I am concerned about my personal appearance and take great pride in how I look. I have been bald since I was 19 years old, and spent most of my life without hair.
I have slowly gone bald since I was about 30 years old. It didn't bother me too much, until I was 46 and had a daughter. Suddenly most of the fathers (who were of course mostly younger) with children the same age seemed to look 20 years younger than I.
On February 28th of 1995 I had the first of my four hair transplant procedures. Since then, I have never looked back. What a difference this made in my life.

Actress Zoe Saldana has stripped off for a new magazine photo shoot.
The "Star Trek beauty" poses in just a pair of jeans for one of the shots in Allure and covers her breasts with a strategically placed arm.
In the accompanying interview, Saldana opens up about her plans for a family, and reveals she would be happy to settle down with a female.
She says, "(I might) end up with a woman raising my children. That's how androgynous I am."
Saldana split from fiance Keith Britton in 2011 after 11 years and was said to have ended her on-and-off relationship with Bradley Cooper just before Christmas.

I wonder how many people were as perplexed as I was leading up to last months presidential election. I could not support the Republican Partys position on abortion, contraception, immigration and religion. But having spent a part of my work experience in economic research, I also could not support the Obama administrations reliance on wealth redistribution as the solution to the countrys economic problems.
Economic solutions in this country have always ranged between free market and wealth redistribution initiatives. Free market practices promote competition and stimulate growth, but they also produce inequality. Wealth redistribution mitigates inequality but it also increases debt and slows growth. Complicating the ability to balance these two counteracting sources, the current economic environment is experiencing slow growth and inequality at the same time.
The Obama administration has chosen to place its emphasis on reducing inequality, with the claim that it also will boost growth. But many economic theorists believe that such emphasis without a heavy dose of free market initiatives will only make matters worse. Poor economic performance over the last four years has given support to that contention. During his administration and leading up to the election, the president has continually chastised corporations and denounced free market solutions. When Paul Ryan tried to interject them into the dialog the president mercilessly ridiculed him (pushing grandma off a cliff in a wheelchair).
A column by Robert Samuelson, headlined Time for a realistic look at Americas welfare state (Herald, Nov. 12) provided a much needed discussion about the inability to reverse the mounting debt crisis and stimulate economic growth without major revisions to entitlements. Samuelson says, The welfare states great contradiction is that what seems to be good for the individual is not, when multiplied by thousands or millions of cases, always good for society. Politicians appeal to individuals who vote, but in doing so may shortchange the nation. If there are doubts about such a conclusion, watch the nightly news concerning Greece and Spain.
Like Samuelsons contention about the welfare state, a realistic discussion of free market initiatives did not take place in the pre-election debates. Job creation is a critical example. For individuals, having a job is one of the most important aspects of their lives. But like welfare transfers, what is good for individuals may not always be good for society. It depends on how the jobs are created.
The free market way is to grow the Gross National Product so that there will be more useful work to be done. But allowing each worker to be less productive also can create jobs because more labor will be required to produce the same goods and services. The presidents job creation solutions were mostly of the second type. He scolded companies, now that they are making a lot of money, to hire more people. He also proposed giving tax credits to any company that would hire back people they let go at the start of the recession. Those are wealth redistribution proposals, not jobs that are useful, because the companies no longer need more people to meet demand.
In order to survive during the recession, companies increased their productivity through automation, sending jobs overseas (a good thing) and other means to reduce labor costs. If companies can reduce the amount of input necessary to make their goods (and labor is a big part of that input) they can sell those goods at a lower price and capture more market share, which then allows them to create more useful jobs to meet the increased demand. Retraining people who have lost jobs that are no longer needed rather than repeatedly extending unemployment compensation is another essential part of a free market initiative.
The idea that labor is a cost and needs to be reduced if the economy is to grow and create useful jobs is not how the process is usually described in the popular press. But it is an essential economic principle that people should understand in order to evaluate the way politicians promise to create jobs. For example, the administration brags about saving the U.S. auto industry, carefully avoiding any mention of Ford. Ford Motor Co. is competing very effectively without government support by being the industry leader in productivity increases. The jobs Ford is creating now are to meet increased demand not government subsidized labor agreements.
Facing up to the role productivity plays in the creation of useful jobs is only one example of how free market practices have been ignored by the Obama administration. Hopefully more progress will be made on the way to the fiscal cliff. Unless politicians are willing to make the case to a changing demographic population for less welfare and more free market practices, the country is destined to experience years like the last four of a raising debt and wobbly economic growth.

Four-in-ten Question Rebuilding New Orleans in Present Location
Roberts Gains Support, But Remains A Mystery To Many
About the Survey
Results for this survey are based on telephone interviews conducted under the direction of Princeton Survey Research Associates International among a nationwide sample of 1,523 adults, 18 years of age or older, from Sept. 8-11, 2005. For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling is plus or minus 3 percentage points. For results based on form 1 (N=758) and form 2 (N=765) the sampling error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.

Experts Say FAFSA is First Step in Getting Financial Aid;
Classes may not begin until fall, but the Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program (OGSLP) encourages students needing financial aid for the 2009-10 school year to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible.
Despite the recent economic downturn, billions of dollars in financial aid, including free federal and state grants and federal student loans, are available to students who fill out the FAFSA. Experts recommend students complete the application as soon as possible after Jan. 1 during their senior year of high school and each following year financial aid is needed.
"Even if students think they aren't eligible for aid, they should still fill out the FAFSA," said Chancellor Glen D. Johnson. "Many students underestimate their financial need or don't realize they may qualify for other programs, like federal work-study."
Last week was Financial Aid Awareness Week in Oklahoma to promote early exploration of financial aid options.
Mary Mowdy, OGSLP executive director, says early awareness is important because many financial aid programs are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and some families are intimidated by the application, which the U.S. Department of Education estimates will take less than an hour to complete.
"Some families opt out of completing the FAFSA and charge college expenses to credit cards or take out private education loans before exhausting all federal loan options, which isn't an ideal approach," said Mowdy. "Federal student loans issued through the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program have lower interest rates, flexible repayment plans and important deferment, forbearance and loan forgiveness benefits that credit cards and 'private' or 'alternative' loans don't offer.
An initiative of the U.S. Department of Education, the FFEL Program is the largest financial aid program in the nation and the only federal education loan program that offers students and schools a choice in lenders and the resulting benefits of competition. OGSLP assures families that, despite current market conditions, federal student loan funds remain available.
"To our knowledge, not a single student has been unable to get a federal student loan due to the credit crisis," Mowdy said.
The FAFSA can be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The online version is recommended as the most efficient method, but paper applications are also available by calling (800) 4-FED-AID or by contacting high school counselors or campus financial aid offices. The FAFSA is free, so students should never pay a fee to complete the application.
For help during the process and to ensure campus-specific deadlines are met, students can contact their college financial aid office. To learn more about the financial aid process, grants and scholarships, and student loans, visit www.ogslp.org or call OGSLP toll-free at (800) 442-8642.
The Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program, a division of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, serves as Oklahoma's designated guarantor for the Federal Family Education Loan Program to help all qualified students meet their postsecondary educational expenses.

Hi there,
I feel your pain. My Mac Powerbook G4 (lol, it's the father of the MacBooks, it's old but it's gorgeous back then) died on me and I felt like I've lost a friend.
It was my friend in high school, my gateway to ICQ and MySpace (or Friendster) and I religiously wash my hand every single time before I use it (I'm OCD like that), so trust me when I tell you I understand where you're coming from.
The one thing I could do is extract the harddrive (usually salvageable unless you spilled on the laptop) and I didn't try to repair the laptop, it was too expensive. But soon, you'll outgrow the pain and move on, remember only the great memories it has brought you.
Hope you'll find a laptop soon like I have that's been with me for another 5 years & counting. =)

The Staircase Flange TonePrint by Andrew Levy
Andrew likes using flangers to break away from a bass as a support instrument and he went for a slow swirl that was not too deep but made things shine a little bit. He opted for a nice balance between speed and depth, where the depth is dialed back enough to not make things pitchy without losing an 'in-your-face' presence. He added a tiny bit of feedback to prevent his sound from drowning in a band situation. The 'winding' sound reminded Andrew of a staircase, hence the cool name.

TC's Tore Mogensen met Andrew at the Joint rehearsal studios, right at one of London's most iconic spots: Kings Cross. Andrew was easygoing and in full control of what he wanted: " I love TC stuff and I love using effects for bass. I think they are such a nice way to either support what is going on in the music or as a tool to let bass take the spotlight. When it does, you want things to sound absolutely great and thats what these little TonePrint pedals do."Read more about Andrew Levy

Abstract painting has been a life-long pursuit for me. In abstract painting, there is usually no imagery for the viewer to latch onto, no horizon, no beginning and no end. To me, the question is not whether a painting is a good rendition of a cow, or a true likeness of a person, but rather whether it's enjoyable and more importantly, inspiring to look at. I paint abstract pictures because all realistic painting, when honestly analyzed, is nothing more than color and form put together in a way that allows the brain to recognize it as an object. Take away the story in a realistic picture, and you are left with no more than abstraction. Some of my paintings have recognizable images, and I often explore the line between the paint on...

Fr. Joseph Purpura Highlights New Scholarship Program
Fr. Joseph Purpura, Chairman of the Department of Youth and Parish Ministries for the Antiochian Archdiocese, is alerting high school students to the launching of a new scholarship program sponsored by The Reagan Foundation. The Ronald Reagan Great Communicator Debate Series, which will award $35,000 in scholarship funds to outstanding high school debate students across the nation, will begin in June. The Series is designed to provide an avenue for high school students across the country to develop their civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions as they research, discuss, and engage in public debate. This program is designed to align with and leverage the energy of Election 2012.
The competition will consist of three distinct rounds. First, local debates will take place on high school campuses nationwide between June and September of 2012. School champions will advance to regional championships held in September and October of 2012. Regional championships will be held at university campuses from east to west. Those champions will then be flown to the National Championship at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on October 27, 2012 and compete for $35,000 in scholarship awards.

In a ruling that might have broader implications in future prosecutions, a judge on Thursday threw out charges against two Vallejo dispensary operators charged with illegally selling marijuana.
The cases involved the embattled Better Health Group collective, which was raided by Vallejo police in February, March and June. The dispensary at 3611 Sonoma Blvd. was shut down after a third raid on June 22.
Defendants Jorge Espinoza, 25, and Jonathan Linares, 22, both of Vallejo, had been charged with marijuana possession and sale, and operating an illegal dispensary.
But retired Solano County Superior Court Judge William Harrison dismissed all charges after a preliminary hearing held Wednesday at the Vallejo courthouse.
Harrison said that while not everyone sees eye to eye on the law, dispensaries that comply with the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 and the Medical Marijuana Program Act are allowed to operate.
"Our Legislature has said you can have this kind of business if you do it right," Harrison said. "I don't think there is sufficient evidence that Jorge Espinoza has committed a crime."
Afterward, Solano County Deputy Public Defender Cheryl McLandrich, who represented Linares, said the court "did the right thing."
"We are pleased with the court's ruling," McLandrich said. "These gentlemen were paying taxes and attempting to comply with state law in running their cooperative. It would have been a waste of taxpayer time and resources for the court
to have bound them over for trial."
For Solano County prosecutors, it was the second defeat this year in cases targeting dispensaries. In April, a jury acquitted Vacaville resident Flash Gordon of North Bay Alternative Healing II, who had been charged with illegal weed sales.
It was unclear Thursday whether the Vallejo collective plans to reopen. Nor was it yet clear how the ruling might affect future prosecutions or possible future Vallejo police department raids.
An inquiry to Vallejo police about more raids was referred to an investigating detective, who did not respond Thursday. The prosecutor, meanwhile, said no decision has been made on numerous pending cases, or whether charges will be refiled in this one.
The case was the first in a series of Vallejo dispensary cases to reach a preliminary hearing following a police crackdown earlier this year.
The raids followed voter approval of a Vallejo ballot measure in November 2011 to tax medical marijuana businesses.
At the center of the case were legal and philosophical questions about what constitutes a legitimate medical marijuana cooperative under California law. A pile of conflicting court rulings has added to the confusion, but recent state appellate decisions favor a broader view of the law.
During the preliminary hearing, Solano County Deputy District Attorney Jack Harris argued the dispensary did not meet the definition of a cooperative. Harris said the enterprise was not accountable to its membership, and that only a small number of patients grew the marijuana that was sold.
However, defense attorney Scot Candell of San Rafael, who represented Espinoza, argued the group had followed all applicable state and local laws. Candell said the dispensary required members to fill out membership forms and tracked members' prescriptions to make sure they were up to date.
Candell also said the dispensary paid state and local taxes.
"This was a (registered) nonprofit organization with a board of directors," Candell said. "There is no evidence that anyone was doing anything wrong."
Candell also referenced two rulings by the 4th District Court of Appeal from earlier this year. The rulings, concerning dispensaries in San Diego and Los Angeles, said state law does not limit the number of members a dispensary can have, or require them all to be growers.
The rulings in the two cases, People v. Colvin and People v. Jackson, also found that storefront collectives can sell marijuana to members as long as money collected is for overhead costs and operating expenses.
Harris, however, argued the club was not a truly a "cooperative" because its roughly 15,000 members were given no say in how it operated. State laws, however, are vague on what exactly a medical marijuana collective should look like.
"I do not agree that signing a piece of paper makes you a member of a collective," Harris said.
Vallejo police Detective Jared Jaksch testified that three undercover officers posing as patients -- including a district attorney's investigator -- had bought marijuana at the business since April 2010.
While the first undercover officer used a "forged" prescription, Jaksch said the other two showed valid physicians' recommendations and filled out membership forms.
Jaksch said a Vallejo detective last bought marijuana at the dispensary on Feb. 16, and the undercover DA inspector made a May 15 purchase. Other than filling out membership forms, he said investigators were not informed of membership rights or responsibilities.
Jaksch also said police spoke to more than a dozen individuals seen leaving the dispensary. He said one customer told police she did not have a doctor's recommendation at the time. Another, Jaksch said, said she had bought marijuana at the dispensary without being a member.
However, Morgan Hannigan, a dispensary member, testified that many patients carried identification cards with medical information rather than paper copies of doctors' recommendations. Hannigan, who volunteered at the dispensary from April until June, also said the collective kept records of members' prescriptions on its computers.
"New patients were required to show a recommendation and a California ID," Hannigan said. Returning patients, he added, could swipe their driver license through an electronic identification system to verify if they had a current prescription.
Asked by Harris how the collective set marijuana prices, Hannigan said they were based on factors such as growers' costs, payroll, bills and other overhead expenses.
Prosecutors tried to paint a picture of the dispensary as a massive for-profit business, with Espinoza as CEO and Linares as manager. Along with pounds of marijuana, hash and edible products, police seized more than $20,000 cash from the dispensary during the raids.
"I think (Espinoza) is the owner of a business that he's attempted to disguise as a nonprofit organization," Jaksch testified.
Judge Harrison, however, said there was no evidence that the cooperative was making a profit.
"The argument from the people's standpoint ... was because of the amount of money found (during the police raids) it was for-profit," Harrison said. "But the evidence I have seen shows there wasn't a profit ... and I don't think forcing them to go through a trial is the right thing to do."
Afterward, Harris said the ruling could affect pending dispensary cases in Solano County.
"We'll have to re-weigh everything," Harris said. "These (appellate) cases have taken a much looser interpretation of what I think a collective ought to be."

- 2001 Masi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Costasera - Italy, Veneto, Valpolicella, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico (8/4/2006)
Very dark red. The nose was very closed at first, but with an hour in the decanter opened up beautifully (if you like the stuff, of course): chocolate, dill, damp earth and much fruit but gladly savoury in character. Unfortunately the 15% caused a stinging in my nostrils. The palate was very fruity and sweet with some savoury character. Primary of course, but a nice, little bit savoury type of Amarone. Unfortunately the alcohol caused a stinging feeling in my throat also. A true enough example of the type, but not my cup of tea though.
- 2005 Chéreau-Carré Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Château de Chasseloir - France, Loire Valley, Pays Nantais, Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine (8/4/2006)
What a dashed shame my supplies of this are running out. It is 0,50 l, i.e. just the right size for two people to share. Youthfully primary and fruity (must be the warm year also) but with lovely savoury and salty notes as well. The palate is wonderfully fruity, a little bit too un-zippy in its acidity, but with lovely savoury qualities. Very nice stuff anyway! I'll gladly drink this whenever, though it isn't as mineral as I would have hoped (and as I remembered this wine to be).

Twelve Years A Slave
Narrative of Solomon Northup, A Citizen of New-York, Kidnapped in Washington City in 1841, and Rescued in 1853Book - 2013
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
First time I've written about a book. This one read like fiction; unfortunately it was all too true. Mr. Northrup has woven the details of his slavery into such wonderful, well-paced account it reads BETTER than most fiction. I reveled in his descriptive vocabulary; there are many college graduates today who are not any where near as well-spoken as this man. What an amazing man he must have been. It is hard to believe that this book is not required reading in every school nationwide. It is also surprising that this didn't have more impact on the defeat of slavery. I don't know how widely published it was when written, but I felt it told the truth about the "peculiar institution" as some called it during that era. When something is so morally reprehensible that it has to be referenced by an alternate name, you know it needs to be stopped. I'm thankful that I live in the US, and am ashamed of this and other racially related instances in our past; thank goodness that he was convinced to share his personal history in order to enlighten future generations.
Literate, articulate and excruciating in detail, Mr. Northup's saga of enforced bondage to various white masters stands as a shining gem in the crown of black literature about this era. He outlines just how terrible his days were and how dreadful his nights, when slaves dared not oversleep no matter how fatigued they were from the day's toils. Rarely did a day pass without a whipping, unless the slaves were under the yoke of a kind master.
Unlike Frederick Douglass's similar account, Mr. Northup goes into painstaking detail, naming names and places, all the while showing a shrewd view of human nature. There are no good blacks and evil whites; there are decent and indecent people among them both. Whereas Mr. Douglass maintained that a white master who was religious was a particularly terrible nemesis of the slave, Mr. Northup stresses that even among the pious there were those who were gentle towards their property, who knew how to win the loves of those underneath their yoke.
If anything, Mr. Northup is quick to blame slavery—the sin rather than the sinner—under which both white and black men suffer, one that teaches young white children to practice and delight in cruelty and makes it impossible even for church-going, compassionate men to see anything other than moral rectitude in an immoral system.
It is a sobering and harrowing account of a bygone age and one that continues to leave its stain upon the current age. (If you think racism doesn't exist in America, try listening to a white person complain that white privilege means travelling in a limo instead of on a train.)
I was amazed at the memory of names, places, dates and events in the life of this man. Not only that, he was able to weave these snapshots into a captivating story that was hard to put down. Not many writers have this ability when using factual information. It's hard to believe that it was written well over 100 years ago. Also, it's hard to believe that many of the attitudes of human beings haven't changed in that time. There are still those that strongly believe in slavery, since it still exists in many nations of the world.
What an incredible, profound, truly moving account of the real-life tragic events! The book had been published in 1853(!) and yet, when I started reading it I couldn't put it down. The author's incredible intelligence, attention to detail, his philosophical stance - all this contributed to truly remarkable book. I watched the movie - it's good as an illustration to the book. However, the movie skipped on the last part, the escape back to freedom - how the author was helped by so many good people, and what was involved, including the court proceedings and other documents appended to the book. Actually, as I was reading the Chapter 21 and on, my heart was racing! Highly, highly recommended.
This is an absolutely amazing story of a NY-born freeman who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in the deep South and after 12 years managed to regain his freedom. It was published in 1853. It not only tells of the indignities that he went through but of the suffering of so many others that were treated so horrifically.
There is no way that I could have seen the movie as the horrors described in the book would have overwhelmed me. Also, the verbal written descriptions are truly worth reading.
I finally stopped reading it because the brutality was pretty distasteful. I didn't need it on EVERY page.
A very interesting book. A look into the life of a slave from a first hand account.
Man's inhumanity to man will never cease to amaze, astound and sicken me. Having said that, an amazing account of one man's resilience, unending hope and faith in God during our country's darkest days.
Great book about a free black man who is kidnapped and sold into slavery. He wrote this after he was rescued. Its hard to imagine what he went through to survive. This book should be mandatory reading in high school.
July 5, 2014....Just starting this book, and so far it's great..........July 9, only about 60 pages left. Where has this little gem been hiding. I can hardly wait to watch the movie, I just checked out the trailer and it looks great. So glad that I read the book first tho. I love Northup's story telling style. To those people who call non-fiction "boring research books," you have to check this out. It will open your eyes!

Wow. Just out from the Tribune:
Gov. Rod Blagojevich is expected today to name former Illinois Atty. Gen. Roland Burris to replace President-elect Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate.
The action comes despite warnings by Democratic Senate leaders that they would not seat anyone appointed by the disgraced governor who faces criminal charges of trying to sell the post, sources familiar with the decision said.
Burris announced his interest in the seat at a December 13 press conference. And he didn't pull any punches with regards to the governor. He described Blagojevich's alleged efforts to sell the Senate appointment as "pretty appalling" and "just reprehensible." He also endorsed Attorney Gen. Lisa Madigan's effort at the time to get the Illinois Supreme Court to remove the governor from office, describing Blagojevich as "incapacitated." Here's video, via CBS2:
Burris also made clear at the presser that he is only interested in filling out the rest of the current term and would not run for reelection in 2010.
UPDATE (11:54 am): Blagojevich is going to make a statement at 2 p.m.
UPDATE II (12:16 pm): Politico's Ben Smith reports that an aide to Harry Reid said the Senate Majority Leader views the Burris appointment as "unacceptable."
UPDATE III (12:30 pm): Meanwhile, on MSNBC just now, Lynn Sweet said that someone close to Burris had told her that he is not ruling out running for reelection in 2010.
UPDATE IV: (1:08 pm): CF is reporting that Secretary of State Jesse White's office will not certify the appointment.
UPDATE V (1:25 pm): Harry Reid released the following statement:
It is truly regrettable that despite requests from all 50 Democratic Senators and public officials throughout Illinois, Gov. Blagojevich would take the imprudent step of appointing someone to the United States Senate who would serve under a shadow and be plagued by questions of impropriety. We say this without prejudice toward Roland Burris's ability, and we respect his years of public service. But this is not about Mr. Burris; it is about the integrity of a governor accused of attempting to sell this United States Senate seat. Under these circumstances, anyone appointed by Gov. Blagojevich cannot be an effective representative of the people of Illinois and, as we have said, will not be seated by the Democratic Caucus.
UPDATE VI (1:47 pm): From the AP:
White says he won't certify anything Blagojevich does to fill the Senate seat once held by President-elect Barack Obama.
White issued a statement today saying he can't accept any paperwork from Blagojevich on the Senate seat "because of the current cloud of controversy surrounding the governor."

Midway through the third quarter of Sunday's 25-15 win against the Cleveland Browns, John Harbaugh was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. The penalty was offset by an unnecessary roughness call on Browns rookie wide receiver Josh Gordon, but it was the second time this season that the Ravens coach had been cited for such an infraction.
But on Wednesday, outside linebacker Terrell Suggs said he may have been the culprit for the penalty.
"There were a series of penalties down in the Cleveland game, I may have affected one," the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year said. "I was kind of yelling at the referee, and my head coach kind of took it for me."
Harbaugh spoke to the media before Suggs' admission and was unable to verify or deny his account. But Harbaugh said that the players haven't given him much grief for the unsportsmanlike conduct calls, and he thinks he may have found a solution to prevent future infractions.
"I put a couple players in charge during the game of keeping an eye on me," he said. "So they're certainly happy to do that."

Maximize your ability to hit your targets
Even with a limited budget and a small sales force, you can still deliver your core selling messages to target physicians.
In an ideal world, our brands would have a huge and thriving sales force. This sales force would reach all our targeted healthcare providers and deliver a comprehensive presentation, focusing on topics such as clinical data and appropriate patient types and providing an in-depth disease-state discussion.
But we all know the reality:
- Reps rarely get more than a minute with busy physicians; if they're lucky, they may manage to squeeze in a single product message while the doctors they call on are signing for samples.
- Many pharmaceutical companies, particularly those in the biotech space, are working with limited budgets and a small sales force.
- Because target physicians are often dispersed across the country, it may be difficult to gain access to them.
As marketers, we need to increase our savviness when it comes to getting our core branding messages heard in this challenging environment.
Here are a few suggestions:
Use the internet: Though I don't have actual data, I feel pretty confident in saying that 100% of healthcare providers have access to the internet. The internet can help you reach targets across the country in the following ways:
- Eblasts can help increase product name recognition and keep physicians aware of new information about your product
- Webinars with key opinion leaders give target physicians the opportunity to discuss your product's attributes
- If a full-blown website is not in the budget, microsites can be used to place important information on the web and may even serve as a portal for some of your existing assets (e.g., videos, disease-state PDFs, press releases)
Aim lower: Of course, we would love to get our product message out to all physicians, but with limited budgets this is an unrealistic goal. To make sure your message reaches physicians who have the biggest impact on how your product is perceived in the market, divide your list into segments such as these:
- High prescribers of a competitive product
- Specialists
- Decision makers
Establish trial markets: For the same amount of marketing dollars, you can either get a tiny share of voice across the country or a major voice in a targeted area.
A little research can help you identify both small and large groups around the country where a certain disease state may be prevalent.
Physicians in these trial markets can serve as touch points, spreading the word about your product to colleagues across the country.In addition, you can measure your market share growth in the trial market and use that data as a case study for expanding to other key areas.
Bottom line: You don't need a huge budget to make an impact, especially when it comes to specialty physicians.
Although reps are a great source for building relationships and bringing value to a brand, many nonpersonal efforts can be made to maximize your marketing spend and make an impact on market share.

TORRANCE, Calif. (Sept. 24, 2008) – With the busy harvest season upon us, Kubota Tractor Corporation encourages all equipment users to renew their focus on safety in commemoration of the National Safety Council's (NSC) 64th anniversary of National Farm Safety and Health Week, September 21-27, 2008.
With approximately two million farms in the United States today, the NSC's 2008 edition of the Injury Facts ranks agriculture as the nation's most dangerous industry with 28.7 deaths per 100,000 adult workers.
Even more alarming are the youth fatalities: it is estimated that 907 youth died on U.S. farms between 1995 and 2002, according to the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety. Of the leading sources of fatal injuries to youth, 23 percent involved machinery, including tractors; 19 percent involved motor vehicles, including ATVs; and 16 percent were due to drowning.
"Kubota is dedicated to making farm and ranch life safer for all families – especially our children – and is encouraging a renewed commitment to safety, especially during National Farm Safety and Health Week," says Greg Embury, vice president of sales and marketing, Kubota Tractor Corporation. "We urge our customers and all equipment operators to put safety first as they use tractors, lawn and garden equipment, construction equipment and utility vehicles."
Though safety is something that must be practiced year round, Kubota's renewed call to action during harvest season takes particular focus on advising families and businesses to take time this month to review important operating information as it relates to tractor, mower and utility vehicle safety.
"A small time commitment now could prevent an accident or fatality in the future," adds Embury.
As a sponsor of the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day™ educational program, Kubota is part of an effort designed to make safety education and training available for children year-round. Now in its 14th year, the program will conclude more than 380 Safety Day events in 2008, spanning 35 states, six Canadian provinces, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa. In 2007, the programs reached more than 76,000 participants with the help of 16,000 adult and older-teen volunteers. To date, Safety Days have touched the lives of more than 650,000 children and adults in rural communities.
Kubota strongly encourages its customers to be sure that older tractors and equipment have a Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) and seatbelt to provide a protective zone around the operator – greatly reducing the chances of serious injury in the case of a rollover accident. Kubota has provided a ROPS as standard equipment since 1985 – even before federal law required manufacturers to include a ROPS on new tractors. Owners of early Kubota models can have a ROPS and safety belt retrofit to their tractors by contacting their local Kubota dealer.
To date, Kubota dealers throughout the country have installed more than 10,000 retrofits. According to the NSC, if all tractors were equipped with a ROPS and a safety belt, about 350 lives would be saved each year.
Additional safety information, including Kubota's "Ten Commandments of Tractor Safety" and a tractor safety coloring book, can be found at the Kubota Web site, www.kubota.com. Owners of older model Kubota tractors can also utilize a ROPS and Seatbelt Installation function on the Kubota.com safety pages that allows owners to submit their tractor's model and serial number for eligible models to attain retrofit pricing from their local Kubota dealer.
Kubota Tractor Corporation, Torrance, Calif., is the U.S. marketer and distributor of Kubota-branded equipment, including a complete line of tractors up to 103 PTO hp, performance-matched implements, compact and utility-class construction equipment, consumer lawn and garden equipment, commercial turf products and utility vehicles. For product literature or dealer locations, contact Kubota Tractor Corporation at 3401 Del Amo Blvd., Torrance, CA 90503, (888) 4-KUBOTA [(888) 458-2682], Ext. 900, or visit www.kubota.com

As we returned to Frankfort to resume the 2011 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly, we are faced with issues that are as wide and varied as the monster snowstorm that cut through much of the United States.
Several bills have already passed through the House of Representatives and are on their way to the Senate for consideration.
House Bill 121, which would outlaw synthetic street drugs called "bath salts" currently on sale at convenience stores and other venues, passed the House by a vote of 94-0. This drug has been in Kentucky for some time and has become a threat to our young people's health and safety.
HB 166, which would require state parks to buy Kentucky agricultural products, passed the House by a vote of 92-0. This legislation is intended to promote the sale of products under the Kentucky Proud Program.
Other committees were busy hearing testimony including the Veterans, Military Affairs and Public Protection Committee which voted in favor of House Bill 14, which will help our service men and women and their families by waiving probate fees on the estate of those military killed in the line of duty.
The Judiciary Committee passed House Bill 58 which would require drunk driving offenders to have an ignition interlock device installed on their vehicles.
Legislation affecting education and immigration was discussed in committees this week and received a great deal of attention.
The complex issue of illegal immigration was heard by the House Local Government Committee, which discussed the possible costs of Senate Bill 6, passed by the Senate in early January, and House Bill 3, the House's immigration bill. We believe that our plan - which would require contractors with a public agency and government agencies to use the E-Verify instant documentation check to determine eligibility of potential hires to work in the United States—is the better alternative.
It is a pleasure and an honor to serve as your State Representative.

I just want something with decent stopping power and that is durable and produces as little dust as possible. The PBR Ceramic maybe a good choice.Does PBR have the wear sensors?I know the Hawks do not.
The Padgid pads seem to be around the same price as the PBRs, EBCs and Hawk -- what are the pluses and minuses for the Padgid since I haven't heard much about them?
wait a minute, the Axxis front pad set for $54.49 are just for one wheel?!!!The pads with the wear sensors are on back order at ECS, I believe.

Members of Lycoming College Chapter of Gamma Sigma Alpha National Greek Academic Honor Society
Gamma Sigma Alpha, National Greek Academic Honor Society, was founded to promote intellectual interaction between Greek students and the academic community. The purpose of the Society is to promote the advancement of education among Greeks, to instill a greater spirit of cooperation among Greek students and organizations, and to encourage excellence in scholarship.
In 1989, a group of scholastic achievers at the University of Southern California, representing various Greek fraternities and sororities joined together to create an organization dedicated to the advancement of higher education and academic accomplishment. The Alpha chapter of Gamma Sigma Alpha was founded on November 9, 1989, as a result of these students' efforts. The national board was established the following year to promote the Society's ideals on campuses across the country.
Gamma Sigma Alpha is committed to the leadership, academic achievement, and excellence of Greek members everywhere.
Students are eligible for membership based on their grade point average and active membership in a Greek fraternity or sorority recognized by their university. The society strives to uphold the high ideals of scholastic achievement, and therefore, only students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above (on a 4.0 scale) at the start of their junior year (60 or more credits) are eligible to join.
Leadership - Gamma Sigma Alpha, developed and coordinated solely by students, offers members the opportunity to cultivate their leadership skills through officer positions, chapter programming, and the national executive board. This newly established Society offers the chance for a few highly motivated, and creative thinkers to assist with expansion plans, as well.
Lifetime Membership - Members pay a one-time membership fee that entitles them to a lifetime of experiences and academic enrichment through Gamma Sigma Alpha.
Networking - Members are given an unique opportunity to meet with other outstanding Greek students, as well as university faculty and administration, an integral part of the Society's goal and activities. The bonds of scholarship develop into the bonds of friendship and mutual respect between members as they participate in Gamma Sigma Alpha programming.
Scholastic Achievement - By accepting membership into Gamma Sigma Alpha, students are recognized for their outstanding scholastic achievement. By participating in the Society's activities and programming, students enrich their understanding and commitment to academics. Gamma Sigma Alpha enables members to further their own achievements in academia, as well as to promote scholarship in the university community.

Device Tree
This page documents how to get started with Open Firmware's Device Tree on MIPS. It does not cover other device trees such as that of the ARC Firmware or klconfig.
- OpenBIOS
- Documentation/devicetree in the kernel sourcecode.
- PNP Device IDs
- Sun's IEEE1275 Open Firmware site
Required Tools
The Device Tree Compiler used to generate Open Firmware style device trees images is contained in the Fedora and openSUSE dtc rpm. You only need this package to develop device trees separate from the kernel.
The kernel source ships with its own version of dtc which is used to convert the in-tree DT files into linkable .o files so above package isn't even needed.
MIPS Platforms with Device Tree support
PowerTV is the initial MIPS platform with Device Tree support since a while. Work to convert further platforms:
to DT is in progress and there is a git tree (linux-dt.git gitweb) for this project.
Firmware with Device Tree support
U-Boot pretty generic support for manipulating and passing a dtb at boot. Open Firmware doesn't currently support MIPS but is the grand daddy in the DT league and has been used for a long time on Sun SPARC systems, Apple and IBM PowerPC systems so a MIPS port may be a consideration.
