secur32.dll and 0xc0000185 and instability
Hi there,
I thought I had some sort of a DNS poisoning attack since every time I open omegle.com it says that I'm banned and redirects me to porn and after some googling i discovered that this was a DNS poisoning attack. I visited this thread Detected DNS cache poisoning attack. and applied the code:
@Echo on
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0
I placed it in notepad and saved it as a .bat file and executed it. the code was executed and my computer restarted automatically. After the restart I suffered from random system freezes (temporary ones) and I keep getting the error messages "Failed to load the library secur32.dll" and "the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000185). click ok to close the application".
these error messages mostly appear when i try to start almost every application (web browsers seem to start but they freeze after a few seconds).I'm almost sure that the said code has caused all this (since the system was normal before executing it)
Any solutions? and sorry for the long post

Some secur32.dll errors could be related to a virus or other malware infection on your computer that has damaged the DLL file. It's even possible that the secur32.dll error you're seeing is related to a hostile program that's masquerading as the file.

Hi there and thanks for the reply,
well i may have messed up a little and didn't follow your instructions precisely. I started the computer in safe mode and activated adwcleaner. I did a scan and a clean then rebooted. did another scan in normal startup mode and rebooted. on the third time it seemed that firefox and chrome stuff just stayed there so i just uninstalled both of them and then deleted their files (the ones in c:\users\%username%\appdata) by command prompt. this has eliminated the error message about secur32.dll but the 0xc0000185 and the system instability are still there (though the instability part is a bit less now)
the reports are attached to this reply. I apologize again for not following instructions precisely.

Even though demolition at the San Ysidro Port of Entry will be closing as many as five re-entry lanes at a time in the next few months, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said Thursday that traffic may actually flow faster through the busiest border crossing in the Western Hemisphere.
That message will come as a welcome relief to the 50,000 drivers who pass through the port on average every day, although that's not the message that people have been hearing in recent months.
"We didn't get a clear message out about not closing lanes," said the Customs and Border unit's project manager Oscar Preciado.
While traffic will be "channeled" into fewer lanes, Preciado said, the pace shouldn't slacken because Customs will be opening additional inspection booths at each gateway to process two vehicles at a time. The so-called "stacked booths" are being used at other border crossings according to officials and have proven efficient.
In fact, Preciado said, "we hope to increase traffic capacity" during the next phase of construction.
San Ysidro is undergoing a massive, three-phase, $577-million reconstruction which requires the contractors to tear down existing structures that sit directly over the top of the 24 lanes of wall-to-wall, bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Since June , the Colorado-based Hansel Phelps Construction Co. has been "surgically" dismantling the sprawling administration complex above the traffic. Central to the process is a towering yellow crane that dominates the border landscape.
The crane has been lowering huge steel "debris boxes" through holes in the roof of the building where crews fill them with demolition debris, according to General Services Administration project manager Damon Yee.
"They have been dismantling the building piece by piece, section by section, so as not to close off the traffic flow ," said Yee, and mostly at night when traffic levels dip.
Beneath the building, a plywood ceiling has been erected and held into place by suspended scaffolding to protect passing vehicles from falling debris. The workers call it the "dance floor," according to Hansel Phelps site manager Jeff Wellenstein.
Starting at the end of August through Thanksgiving, the project enters a particularly tricky phase as remaining shell of the building must come down. To accomplish this, processing booth areas will be closed off as each section is torn down, affecting up to five lanes.
When it comes to figuring out which lanes are functional, Customs and Border Protection will try to remove the guess work for border travelers. A traffic engineer in Tijuana has been contracted to design a strategy for channeling vehicles to the "stacked booth" gateways.
By the end of August, Customs will have operating 10 gateways with "stacked booths" to process two vehicles simultaneously, said Preciado.
Recently appointed port director Frank Jaramillo said that at no time will the port's ability to process 24 lanes of traffic be reduced.
When completed, the reconfiguration and expansion of San Ysidro will have 62 northbound inspection booths, expanded processing facilities, a dedicated bus lane and express lanes for the "trusted traveler" programs – SENTRI and Ready Lane vehicles.
This first phase is fully funded and is on track to be completed by the summer of 2014, officials say.
The second phase, which includes the construction of the new administration building and pedestrian route and Phase 3, the realignment and expansion of I-5 south with expanded capacity and a transit center on the Mexican side of the border are as yet unfunded.

Keep them by your child's desk for a quick place to jot down some addition. I'm also thinking they'd be good in busy-bags for church or other places where little ones need to stay quiet and occupied.

About the Game:
Mad Max is an upcoming post-apocalyptic vehicular combat video game set in an open world environment and based on the Mad Max film series. It is being developed by Avalanche Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is scheduled to be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Linux, Microsoft Windows).
MAD MAX Game Free Download [FULL Game]
MAD MAX Cheats Hack Tool Download
Mad Max is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game with a vehicular combat element, in which the player takes on the role of titular character Mad Max (Kym Bradley). According to the publisher of the game, up to 60% of the game's campaign requires player to drive. Mad Max will feature a variety of weapons which Max can use to defeat his enemies. Though the shotgun is Max's weapon of choice, ammo is scarce, so melee options are the smarter way to go. The 'thunderstick' is an explosive weapon that can be lanced into an enemy's chest, blowing the victim up. The harpoon can be used in-vehicle with Chum riding along. Max's Magnum Opus can be combined with a V12 engine and powerful ramming ability to destroy enemies' vehicles and weaponry. Weapons, such as flamethrowers and a mounted cannon, can also be added to the Magnum Opus. When simultaneously driving and aiming, the game enters slow-motion and allows you to toggle between targets. Despite the game having a third-person perspective, players can switch to first-person view when the player is engaging in combat with enemies while driving the Magnum Opus. In order to encourage exploration, the Magnum Opus can be upgraded by using scavenged materials found in the desert, by hijacking enemies cars or by collecting enemies' car parts. Nitro boosts is also featured for acceleration. Armor and weapons are also available for customization in the game. Enemies sometimes will hop on top of the Magnum Opus to make it explode but the player can avoid that by adding spikes around the car. The player has access to the garage screen throughout the game, allowing the players to customize it for any occasion. Max's garage can be used to change and modify the cars engine, chassis, wheels, body works, including paint jobs, and the "shell" of the automobile. However, upgrading one aspect of the car will negatively affect other aspects. For example, upgrading the engine will allow Max to drive faster, but it will also negatively affect the handling.
The landscape of the game is made up of canyons, caves, deserts and abandoned wasteland. The game's world is broken up into several regions, with each region having its own unique backstory and landscape. Unique landmarks and ruins can also be seen in each region. Side activities, such as invading enemies' fonts and eliminating enemies' convoys, can also be found in each region of the game. The 'threat level' of the region will be lowered by completing such activities, and thus allowing players to navigate the world in a safer way. Each region in the game have its own boss, who can be found and defeated in their base. Most other resources in the game are scarce besides gas, as the game's core emphasis is driving. Players can collect collectibles called history relics throughout the game. They are mainly photos and notes of the wasteland created before the apocalypse, allowing players to get a better glimpse of the world.
Max can venture into "The Big Nothing", an unmapped volatile area of the wasteland, that is consumed by dangerous sandstorms without any food or water present. Rare parts for the Magnum Opus can be found there. Max can eat small animals such as rodents and maggots from decomposing corpses to replenish his health. Areas where Max can find food and supplies have crows flying around. A dynamic day-night cycle and weather system, as well as a variety of environmental hazard, will also be included in the game. The terrain of the game's world will also be affected by the weather and the variety of natural disasters featured in the game.
Max can also ride up a hot-air balloon, which is permanently attached to the ground, to look for new objectives and locations. These objectives will then be highlighted and shown on the map if Max view them with binoculars.
Many choices are given in the game, such as either playing silently or aggressively. Despite allowing players to perform silent takedown with a knife, the game emphasize on action instead of stealth. The game also features a free-flow combat, similar to Warner Bros' previous Batman: Arkham series of video games, in which indicators will be shown on enemies' heads to remind the player to ward off the attacks from them, while a prompt will be shown to the player if the player can perform a finishing move. Attacks performed by Max during the "frenzied" state will become more powerful than usual. Max can get guidance from Chum about how he can complete his objectives strategically. Chum will also repair the car for the player once the player exits the car.

Are IITs World Class
To me the answer is, "No, IITs are not world class, but it does not matter." The whole debate is not about what is world class, and whether IITs have achieved that standard. Whether we are in this list or that list. My belief is that such statements are often a reflection of the gap between expectations and perceived reality. And, when such statements come from people who ought to know, we should not dissect their words, but look at the causes of that gap.
May be the reality is much better but people don't understand. Well, isn't that a problem then. Shouldn't IITs work on that.
May be the expectations are too high. That, in my opinion, is a good problem to have, but may be IIT administration should do some expectation management.
But, may be the expectations are reasonable, and we still don't match them. That would be very worrisome.
Let me explain with an example. I have often written about JEE on this blog and elsewhere. One can argue that in the middle of huge scandals, IITs have largely been able to offer admissions on merit. JEE has not faced any major scandal (barring some doubts in 2006) over its 50 years of existence. And that is a HUGE achievement. And whenever I criticize JEE, people love to point out all this to me. But when I criticize JEE, it is with the knowledge of this background. I criticize because my expectation from the best institutes in India is much more than conducting a scandal free UG admission. I expect the top institutes to have a transparent admission process. I expect the top institutes to do some research into their admission process and figure out whether they are getting the students of the right type. I expect the top institutes to constantly debate alternative admission strategies. So don't point to me that IITs have the best admission process. They may very well have that. But I expect them to do better than the current best.
As long as there is a gap between what is expected and what is delivered, there will be criticism. IITs can keep ignoring this criticism and stay in their comfort zone. Or IITs can dissect the exact words of the Minister and say that if we get world class budgets, then we might improve. Or they can do some introspection and say whether they can do something within the significant resources that our country spends on them and narrow that gap of expectation and performance. Unfortunately, the last part is never done.
When someone says that IITs are not working with Indian industry, IITs can counter with the statistics of how many companies have given sponsored projects, how much funds they get in these projects and consultancy. But all that means nothing to the person who complained to begin with. Shouldn't IITs be doing much more than what they are doing. I recently wrote about the Waikato Institute of Technology at Hamilton, New Zealand, who are having amazing amount of focus with industry. I am not suggesting that IITs become as focused on industry as Wintec, but certainly there is a huge scope for improving industry interaction (and without increase of budget).
When someone says that IIT graduates are not exposed to live projects and the education is very theoretical, you can counter by telling about the latest equipment in your labs, and telling about the number of lab hours that students have to spend before getting a degree, but is that what I expect from the best institutes in my country. Why can't a civil engineering student be involved with a real civil construction project on campus, and all our campuses are having a lot of construction all the time. A student who has to spend just one hour every week with the site engineer would have a great experience and understanding of how civil engineering is actually practiced. Is it too much to expect that on an average, a CSE graduate would have written 20,000 lines of code in 4 years, and I am talking about original code, not code copied from Internet (while agreeing that Computer Science is much more than coding, just like Civil Engineering is much more than construction).
I also want to comment on the supposed selectivity of IITs. We are supposed to be world class because we are the most selective. Everyone in the country has heard the numbers, one out of 50 or something to that effect, while Harvard admits one out of 10. Are we really comparing apples with apples. Harvard tells you all the parameters that they will look at for admission. They give you statistical details of some of those parameters from last year's admission (parameters which are objective like SAT score). While in case of IITs, there is only one parameter, which is unknown at the time of application, which is the JEE rank.
Let us consider an experiment for IITs. Let them conduct JEE, announce the result, and then ask students to apply for admission, knowing fully well what the last year's closing rank was in each program. I don't think you will see even a ratio of 1:2. The large number of applicants for a small number of seats only means that people believe in randomness of the admission process. And if the process is based only on objective criteria, and there is still a large ratio of applications to seats, then it is nothing to be proud of. 4.5 lakhs JEE applicants are there because there is a general feeling amongst the students that JEE is a lottery, and on a given day, anyone with coaching can score high, and also, there are now some more institutions who have started using JEE performance for admission.
(By the way, the ratio of the number of candidates in AIEEE to the number of seats in NITs is much worse. Should we say that NITs have higher selectivity, and therefore, they are also world class.)
I think the problem with IIT system is that they are satisfied with being the best in the country. And whenever anyone points out that your parameters are not what the best in the world have achieved, there is a ready made excuse - money. Double our salaries, type of thing. IITs are not doing sufficient introspection to see if they could have met the expectation of our nation to a fuller extent within the same resources.

Yes, there is deficiency of resources, but with similar salaries and resources, some departments or some individuals in the same IITs do world class work I am sure.
I believe the ISI Kolkata and some departments of the IIIT Hyderabad do world class work (hearsay from a person who hires statisticians and machine learning experts). These people are also paid similar salaries, yet do fantastic work apparently.

It doesn't really matter whether these institutes were started for teaching or research -- its nevertheless a good idea to assess them to see where they stand in research at the global level. I was personally curious about a quantitative indication for the same. So I compiled the number of publications at the top venues in the research area that I know a little about. My findings are at http://higheduindia.blogspot.com/
While these numbers may not be 100 percent accurate, they are still encouraging. What I concluded from these numbers is (a) (not surprising) there are only a few individuals contributing at the international level and they are doing very good, (b) several researchers (both academia and industry) have recently come back to India so we can optimistically expect the overall CS research (at least) to improve in the coming years.
A request for you and the readers of your blog: I compiled the numbers of publications for computer vision and machine learning since I am aware of these areas. I believe similar list for other areas such as networking, OS, PL, Algo, Complexity, etc. might be beneficial have similar values. If any of you is interested in compiling a corresponding list in your area of expertise, please send me the list or a link. I believe these lists would be helpful at least: (A) to the students who might be interested in pursuing a particular area of research, and (B) for networking/collaboration among junior researchers.

I have said it before in my blog, but IITs are only undergraduate institutes focusing on technical education and for that purpose they are good enough. I will not say they are world class because as you say if IIts are becoming IAS, managers at the end of their education, then the job of making engineers failed. As for research, they are not the research institutes and should be looked as one. They do have reasonable research output, but they are not the university with all the offered subject, so they are limited in what they can offer. Also, their research is directed by what problems west is studying at the moment, not what the local needs are and this is very short sighted.

"Double our salaries?" Dheeraj, I expected to hear more from you about the abject level of non-academic support that IIT faculty get. Compare IIT profs with middle-tier profs in the USA and you won't find planetary-scale differences. Compare what a single administrative staff does per day in the USA vs. IIT and the scales will fall from your eyes.
Comparably crippling factors are that (most) undergrads have too much on their plate to invest in research, and many masters students come with an undergrad education even more mediocre or dysfunctional than what IITs can provide. Excellence cannot arise out of muck. The ministerial ramblings are great examples of what happens when people with no connection to ground reality are handed a microphone: drivel comes out.

It would be useful to highlight the list of concrete accomplishments and their impact over an extended timeline. There is a tendency among the general public and even IITians themselves to elevate good stuff to extraordinary proportions. In the areas I am familiar with (Algo, TCS, OR), e.g., Narendra Karmarkar's accomplishments are more hyperbole than fact, unlike the AKS work on primality. Impact over 10-20 years is hard. Many intuitively realize that and take the easy street.

Sakakibara-san also said there was pressure from the US against Bank of Japan intervention. Ah, good old-fashioned political economy:
The Chinese yuan may rise more than 10 percent this year against the dollar, allowing Japanese policy makers to accept further gains in the yen, said
's former top currency official. Eisuke Sakakibara, Japan
's currency has strengthened 1.4 percent this year, on course for the biggest monthly advance since the end of a dollar peg in July 2005, as the government seeks to curb inflation. The Group of Seven industrialized nations have called on China China, 's biggest trading partner, to stop keeping the yuan artificially weak to support exports... Japan
A rising yuan would make Chinese goods more expensive in global markets, bolstering the competitiveness of Japanese exporters. The yen may advance as much as 12 percent to 95 per dollar by summer as the U.S. economy slows and the Bank of Japan refrains from intervention to slow the rally, he said.
Sakakibara was dubbed "Mr. Yen'' because of his ability to influence the foreign-exchange market during his 1997-1999 tenure at the finance ministry. He correctly forecast in an interview in October that the dollar would plunge against the yen because of the risk of a U.S. slump.
Sakakibara said today that Japan's central bank is unlikely to intervene to slow the yen's advance because the U.S. government is opposed to interfering with currency markets.Using a technical analysis, though, Daily FX says Bank of Japan intervention is possible if the yen breaks the JPY100 level. The chart above indicates the levels at which the Japanese came in to prop up the US dollar--at about JPY100. Of the major industrial economies, Japan is alleged to be the most likely to intervene. As always, FX traders will place their bets and see what happens:
Of the G-10 countries, Japanese policymakers are the most likely to get their hands dirty and intervene in the currency markets when the Japanese yen's price movements are too volatile and extreme for their liking. However, the Bank of Japan and Ministry of Finance have been a bit more lenient in recent years, as the last official intervention was conducted in March 2004. Nevertheless, policymakers have plenty of reason to be concerned about the Japanese yen's most recent surge, as the USDJPY pair has recently tumbled to am 8-year low of 101.40. The strength of the currency is hurting the profit margins of major Japanese corporations, as the most recent Tankan survey showed that most Japanese corporations forecast the value of USDJPY in 2008 to be around 113.00. With the pair now rapidly approaching the 100 level, those hedges are deep in the red. Furthermore, Japanese Economy Minister Hiroko Ota noted that the approximate break-even point for companies is at the 106.60 level, and firms like Toyota, Yamaha Motor Co., and Nippon Steel have all reported disappointing earnings as a result. Unsurprisingly, the shares of exporters have taken a hit and are a major reason why the Nikkei Stock Average has plummeted declined 6 percent over the past five days, the biggest loss since the week ended August 17.
Given the virtual standstill in economic activity, the growing squeeze on Japan's export sector, and the sharp drop in the Nikkei, it is not unreasonable to wonder if the Bank of Japan may consider intervening in the currency market to help prop up USD/JPY above the 100 level – a point not seen since December 1995 – in order to assure that the country's exporters are not crippled by uncompetitive exchange rates.
While the effectiveness of currency intervention as a policy tool has been an ongoing debate within the financial markets and academia for years, there is little argument that at least in the short term, it can be brutally effective. Amongst the G-3 central banks, the Bank of Japan is by far the most active practitioner of this policy. Furthermore, the Bank of Japan prefers to optimize the effectiveness of its intervention by fading speculative extremes, meaning that the currency pair can rise by hundreds of points within minutes. However, the most recent COT data shows that yen positioning is not extreme quite yet, suggesting the currency may have more room to gain. Either way, FX traders who are short USD/JPY need to be increasingly careful and stringent with their stops as the currency approaches 100.

Frontotemporal dementia
Frontotemporal dementia tends to occur at a younger age than Alzheimer's disease and can affect both men and women. The average length of the disease can vary. This type of dementia resembles Alzheimer's disease in that it also involves a progressive degeneration of brain cells that is irreversible.
With this form of dementia, a person may have symptoms such as sudden onset of memory loss, behaviour changes, or difficulties with speech and movement.
Unlike Alzheimer's disease, which generally affects most areas of the brain, frontotemporal dementia is an umbrella term for a group of rare disorders that primarily affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain – the areas generally associated with personality and behaviour. In some cases, brain cells in these areas shrink or die. In other cases, the brain cells in these areas get larger, containing round, silver "Pick's bodies". Pick's disease refers to a subtype of frontotemporal dementia that has these specific abnormalities. In frontotemporal dementia, the changes in the brain affect the person's ability to function. Researchers estimate that approximately two to five per cent of all dementia cases are frontotemporal dementia.
Other names often used for frontotemporal dementia, in addition to Pick's disease, include:
- Semantic dementia
- Frontal lobe dementia
- Primary progressive aphasia
- Corticobasal degeneration
- Pick's complex
Symptoms of frontotemporal dementia
Since the frontal and temporal areas of the brain can be affected, early symptoms often affect either behaviour and/or speech (language).
- Changes in behaviour may include becoming either withdrawn or disinhibited (e.g., losing the ability to restrain one's behaviour and actions). The person may lose interest in personal hygiene, become easily distracted or repeat the same action over and over again. Overeating or compulsively putting objects in the mouth may occur. Sometimes incontinence is an early symptom of the disease.
Other possible changes in behaviour include
- Inappropriate social behaviour, e.g. they may say inappropriate things or come across as rude or tactless
- Distractability
- Loss of insight into the behaviours of oneself and others (making it seem as if they don't care)
- Changes in food preferences
- Blunted emotions
- Decreased energy and motivation
- Changes in personality, e.g. more outgoing people may become quieter and quiet people may become more extroverted
- Problems with speech (language) can range from speaking less to total loss of speech, i.e. becoming mute. They may have difficulty finding the right words and may use circumlocution, i.e., talking around the words or describing what they mean. Echoing what has been said by others and stuttering are common symptoms. The person may have difficulty sustaining a train of thought or maintaining a conversation for any length of time. Writing and reading are also affected.
In the early stage of frontotemporal dementia, behaviour changes or problems with speech (language) can appear separately. As the disease progresses, these two areas will overlap. Unlike Alzheimer's disease, a person with frontotemporal dementia often remains oriented to time and memory is not a problem in the early stages. In the later stages of the disease, general symptoms of dementia arise, i.e. confusion and forgetfulness. Motor skills are lost and swallowing difficulties occur.
Diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia
Assessment is important to rule out other problems, for example, primary psychiatric disorder, for which it may be mistaken. No single test can diagnose frontotemporal dementia. Doctors diagnose the disease through a process of identifying characteristic features of the disease and ruling out other possible causes. Cognitive (thinking) tests may be done to assess which brain functions are affected. A history will be taken from the person, family and caregivers, to get a detailed picture of what has been happening. Brain imaging (such as with an MRI) can also be helpful in making a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.
Risk factors for frontotemporal dementia
Little is known about the cause of frontotemporal dementia and risk factors have yet to be identified. While most cases are not inherited, there is one extremely rare type of frontotemporal dementia which can be passed from generation to generation.
Treatment for frontotemporal dementia
At present, there is no known cure and no effective way to slow its progression. Cholinesterase inhibitors, used as treatment for Alzheimer's disease, usually do not work for the treatment of frontotemporal dementia, as different areas of the brain are affected.
Much can be done, however, to help manage the symptoms. It is important to learn as much as possible about the disease, to help understand and respond to the person's new behaviours. People around the individual will need to seek support to learn coping strategies to work around the individual's behaviour, rather than trying to get the person to change. Speech pathologists may be helpful in teaching strategies to work around the communication problems.
These three videos share the personal stories of caregivers to people living with frontotemporal dementia.

Yoon Si Yoon considers JTBC's Mirror of the Witch as post-military comeback drama
Now that Yoon Si Yoon has returned from his military service, he isn't wasting any time looking for a comeback project! He is currently considering offers to headline JTBC's upcoming fusion sageuk Mirror of the Witch.
If he accepts the role, Yoon Si Yoon would play famed court physician Heo Jun, who is often hailed as the "father of herbal medicine." This series would take an alternative approach to history, portraying Heo Jun as a hot-tempered young doctor who has a run-in with a witch and treats her.
So far, there aren't many details on the series, and Yoon Si Yoon's agency has confirmed that he received the offer, but he is still considering other roles. Mirror of the Witch will likely air on JTBC in May after Ms. Temper Nam Jung Gi.
Are you intrigued by this series? Do you think it's a good pick for Yoon Si Yoon's comeback drama? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Add slowly to the egg mixture while beating. Stir in the chai concentrate and vanilla. In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy.

WILTON MANORS -- July 2 is the deadline for civic organizations to submit names for the city`s new Community Affairs Advisory Board.
So far, only three groups have submitted names for the board, which was initiated by council member Susan Olson, according to City Clerk Sharon Birken.
The new board, which the council approved on second vote at its June 10 meeting, is part of an effort ``to better promote a spirit of community cooperation and civic pride,`` said Olson.
The applications slowly trickling into City Hall hopefully will increase as more residents become aware of the new advisory panel, said Mayor Tracy Stafford.
``I don`t think it`s a lack of interest,`` he said. ``I think the main thing is to make the community aware that we have created this new board.``
The Community Affairs Advisory Board will absorb the members and goals of the now-defunct Beautification Advisory Board, but the objectives will be expanded to include annual plans for community improvements and other civic projects.
The board will be made up of seven members, including representatives from various community organizations such as the Oakland Park/Wilton Manors Chamber of Commerce and the Mother`s Council.
Other members will be chosen from representatives of a local business or merchants` group, a senior citizens` organization and one resident chosen at- large. A representative from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and a City Council member will serve as ex-officio members.

Under increasing pressure from top Democrats to disclose what's kept Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. off the job for more than a month, the congressman's office issued a statement Wednesday saying he is being treated for a "mood disorder" at an inpatient center.
Even as Jackson's camp tried to tamp down widespread speculation — denying chatter that Jackson was being treated for alcohol or drug abuse — an array of questions was left unanswered. It remains unclear what specific psychiatric problem Jackson is being treated for, where he's being treated and when he'll get out.

So maybe that opening line lacks the eloquence of the Emma Lazarus poem adorning the base of the Statute of Liberty. But it may as well be the motto of Keith Gordon, new owner of the Burgundy Brook Cafe slated to open in mid-April.
It replaces the similarly named CJ's Burgundy Brook Country Store and will include some familiar faces – including that of C.J. Champagne Hill, who recently sold her restaurant to Gordon but will continue to bake for the Route 181 landmark next to Burgundy Brook Farm. The good news for Burgundy Brook loyalists, and they are legion, is that the new Burgundy Brook will look, smell and taste a lot like the old Burgundy Brook.
The beloved restaurant in the Bondsville section of town received rave reviews from customers before closing this winter, but it's poised for an encore performance with many of the same cooks and waitresses still in the mix.
Gordon, who bought the business with his wife, brother and sister-in-law, says customers don't have to worry: The new-and-improved Burgundy Brook Cafe doesn't plan on being a one-hit wonder, but rather a mainstay of the Palmer dining scene. In other words, Gordon and his partners are in it for the long haul. "I'm a workaholic," he said, adding that he's not a complete novice. "My dad had a couple of bars and a pizza restaurant (in Florida), so I was around it," he said.
Gordon, who's perhaps better known as a fight promoter and landscaping businessman, is hoping to capitalize on the emotional attachment people had to CJ's, a popular breakfast and lunch joint just north of Palmer District Court. The country store/restaurant sold antiques and other knickknacks, but it was better known for its tasty fare, which some customers claim was the best in the 413 area code. When it closed, there was an instant outpouring of grief, so much so that one faithful patron marveled at people's allegiance to Burgundy Brook.
The restaurant closed for its annual winter vacation and never reopened, leaving many fans crestfallen and wandering in search of substitute venues serving comparable slap-up breakfasts, hot and cold lunches and baked goods – staples of the former Burgundy Brook. "There were people crying in the parking lot," Gordon said of the sudden closure.
Palmer officials said Burgundy Brook failed to renew food service permits for 2013 despite having passed a health inspection with flying colors. That led to widespread speculation, which has mostly subsided now that Champagne Hill has provided a glimpse into her decision to sell. She wrote in a Facebook post: "To my loyal customers ... I am so sorry to have to close the restaurant; it was a very difficult decision to make. My health is the issue. I am selling (the) restaurant and (the new owners) will hopefully keep the same concept and menu. ... I am so sorry to disappoint everyone. I need to get healthy."
Champagne Hill expressed her willingness to "work with the new owners," and apparently they – Gordon and his wife, Inna, and his brother, Shane Gordon, and his wife, Jennifer – were listening. "C.J.'s going to be working for me. She's going to be baking the bread," Keith Gordon said.
Also baking for the new Burgundy Brook is a Russian "phenom" named Alex. "He's really that good," Gordon said of the baker, whose specialties include cakes and cupcakes. Gordon says his wife, a native of Ukraine, is no slouch in the kitchen, either. "She's a phenomenal cook," he said.
The new restaurant is definitely "a family affair," Gordon said. He and his partners are doing some cleanup work at Burgundy Brook including installing a new floor, but they hope to be open around Tax Day. "April 16 is our target date," Gordon said.
Gordon says he hopes to extend his hours on summer evenings, possibly to as late as 9. He says he envisions local families, weary travelers and bikers riding the byways of Western Massachusetts – Routes 9 and 181 are popular touring routes through the Quabbin region – stopping by for breakfast, lunch, dinner or ice cream.
"I've never seen people so emotionally involved in a restaurant," said longtime Palmer resident Tony Matejczyk, a regular at the old Burgundy Brook. Matejczyk referred to the establishment as "one of the jewels of Palmer."
Gordon, a former Chicopee Department of Public Works employee, has a diverse resume. The Wilbraham resident has operated his own landscaping company and fight academy, and his Extreme Fighting International organization has promoted mixed martial arts events at various Pioneer Valley venues, including Springfield's former Hippodrome and Holyoke's Log Cabin.

And you're not uncomfortable with what you are taking it to relieve?
It's a bit like most things Alan - which is worse - the complaint you need relief from - or the possible side effects of any treatment for it?
Dutasteride Side effects Dutasteride may cause the following side effects: Heart failureSwelling of the eyelidsSkin rashImpotence, decreased libido, and gynecomastia (breast enlargement)[/l][/l]

Blame the designer of a blokes urinary plumbing system to go smack through the middle of his reproductive bits - ladies were designed a good deal more sensibly really! But there again, the designer had probably had time to reflect on the daft mistakes he made with the prototype, by the time he got round to us!
Well Pauline, someone we know from a local support group said to us that Pete shouldn't have left having his blood test till now, he should have gone and had it done in January. But the only thing is, to find out the result he'd still have had to wait till he saw the consultant to get the flippin result since it wasn't from the GP. Or he could have made a GP appointment in 5 weeks time, to get a GP PSA blood test form, then another appt to get the blood taken then have to remember to ring in the weekly 2 hour slot the following week to get the damned answer.It's really SUCH a lot of hassle to achieve such a simple thing - that it was so much easier just to leave it and hope for the best. I mean if it had shot up, he STILL wouldn't have been by the hospital any quicker.
Just catching up with some threads, sorry I'm late to this one. I have to say I'm surprised to read how many people on the forum who are affected by prostrate trouble. Patti, Sedge and Pauline with hubbies who are having problems, and Alan - are there more I have missed?
My husband had tests a couple of years ago because he was finding it difficult to wee. I had to cajole him into going to a weekend general 'invitation' to anyone for assessment at the hospital, and he only went then because his brother in law went too. A 'safety in numbers' thing. All was deemed OK, but he still doesn't go to the toilet properly in my opinion. I don't think I've heard him pass water normally for ages now; he's constantly straining. But he won't be moved and refuses to be tested again. If it's not prostate enlargement, what could cause the difficulty in passing water? I'm so pleased that all is going well for the four of you, and I hope it long continues

While paying for school in this day and age can be challenging for any demographic group, single mothers are in a class of their own when it comes to grant support for higher education. Single mothers are among the groups most affected by the downturn of the economy in the last decade, with unemployment rates at 7.6%, which is higher than the national average.
Further causing financial strain is that the collective income of single mothers has been reduced by 6%. Many students who are single mothers are dually burdened with school and work demands, unable to afford childcare costs and hold a full-time job while attending college classes.
This is where need-based grants for single moms come in, to help adult and returning students who are single mothers from low-income households to overcome the financial challenges of pursuing a college education. Grants are available from a variety of federal, corporate, and nonprofit funding sources, and do not have to repaid.
If you are single mother, you may qualify for a number of different grant types, depending on your circumstances. The amount of funding you can receive from need-based grants or scholarships for single moms can vary considerably, ranging from as little as $100 to full tuition coverage. Depending on the sources of the free grants for single moms, award amounts may also change from year to year. Additionally, some colleges and universities offer separate tuition discounts for single mothers.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for school grants for single moms, you will need to verify that you are a single parent by demonstrating head-of-household status with at least one dependent under the age of 18 on your most recent federal tax return. You will likely also need to document your income and financial need by filing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), particularly if you are applying for a government-funded scholarship or grant.
Though specific requirements vary according to program, your federal tax-filing status can be used as a general guide for this process: if you are divorced, or not married but living in a state that recognizes common-law partnerships, a good rule of thumb is to submit the same filing status and income information on both your tax return and grant application.
Private grants for single mothers typically prioritize applicants with the greatest financial need. Some grants may simply include single mothers in their range of eligible applicants, among other requirements, such as being over a certain age, being a returning student, or planning to pursue a degree in an in-demand field. Although many of the following examples are called "scholarships," they function as need-based college grants for single moms as well as scholarships for single moms, which are both gifted funds based on financial need.

The High Cost of Childcare
Paying for childcare while pursuing a degree is a common hardship for students with children, driving up the need for scholarships for single mothers. However, many are unaware of just how significant a cost this can be. While traditional, full-time college students obtaining a degree already face high price tags for tuition and fees, college students who are also single mothers must allocate additional funds for childcare expenses on top of those required for their education. And, like college, there is no affordable substitute for cutting corners when it comes to such an investment.
Unfortunately, childcare costs are not expected to diminish anytime soon: recent studies show that especially in urban areas across the U.S., childcare costs are climbing. In Washington, D.C., the cost of center-based care for two children is a whopping 161% of a single parent's income. While some single moms can rely on friends and family members for free or low-cost childcare, this is not possible for everyone and may not be sustainable even for those who do have their own childcare support system outside of a center or other public facility. Even at a much lower rate, childcare remains unaffordable in places like South Dakota, where single parents can still expect to spend nearly a quarter of their income on center-based childcare costs for one child.
Much attention has been paid to the exorbitant costs of attending college in this day and age, but a recent study suggests that childcare outspends even this investment: in 33 states, infant childcare is more expensive than college tuition. Generally, minimum-wage earners must spend two-thirds of their income to afford full-time childcare in the U.S. In four states — Kentucky, Oregon, Montana, and Wisconsin — full-time childcare is more expensive than the median monthly rent.
The Reward for Investing in Education
While single mothers may face more challenges than the average college student, they are eligible for the same perks post-graduation, not the least of which is the potential for a higher income. College graduates earn significantly more than those without a college degree. In 2013, the pay gap between four-year college graduates and non-college graduates reached a record high, with college-educated workers earning an average of 98% more per hour than those without a degree. As early as the 1980s, this same statistic measured only 64%.
Not only do college-educated students hold an earnings advantage in the workforce over those with only a high school diploma, they can also expect to have access to more high-paying jobs in the first place. The unemployment rate for 25 to 34-year-olds with a bachelor's degree was just 3% in 2014.
The path toward advanced, higher-paying career opportunities is higher education. While four-year degree holders typically see the most "bang for the buck" or return on investment when it comes to undergraduate employment and earnings, both associate and bachelor's degrees can open up a variety of career opportunities, including those that pay a higher wage. Over a 40-year career, a bachelor's degree holder can expect to earn 66% more than a typical high school graduate; a graduate of an associate program or two-year degree earns roughly 24% more than their high school-educated counterparts over a lifetime.
In this post-recession economy, and with a growing number of grants and scholarships for single moms available, the rewards of earning a college degree far outweigh the pitfalls for single parents on the road toward furthering their station in life for themselves and their families.

For many people, the passing of time occurs so quickly that we don't realize how we hit certain milestones like our 30th and 40th birthdays. For women, the biological clock never stops, while most women are working hard to achieve their personal goals, their eggs and ovaries continue to age with them — these things don't just slow down to make things easier!
Luckily, understanding the aging process can provide some insight into how it affects your fertility and what you can do about it.
Even when she's just a fetus in her mother's uterus, the average female has approximately 20 million eggs inside of her. At birth, those 20 million eggs have already been reduced to two million. By the first menstrual cycle around the age of 12 or 13, the number of eggs has shrunk even more from two million to approximately 400,000. From the age of 13 until the age of approximately 51, which is the average age of menopause in the USA, it seems logical to expect many eggs to still be available for conception, but the truth is every month when one egg is released, there are approximately 1,000 or more eggs that die in that process.
The quality of an egg is directly correlated to the age of the female and the amount of time that the egg has been around. Peak fertility ages are between the ages of 20 and 27 and many studies have shown that for the average woman a decline of egg quality may begin around the age of 27. Every year that passes beyond that, there is a more and more significant drop in egg quality and also egg number. Many women feel like a line is drawn in the sand at the age of 35 — and for good reason. Many studies have shown that women 35 years of age or older may have more difficulty getting pregnant or may be at high risk for complications during their pregnancies.
Many women ask if there are steps they can take to stop the aging process. This is a very complicated question and difficult to answer even from a reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist like myself. To start, living a healthy lifestyle of course is recommended. All of your doctors will tell you to do everything you can to be healthy including eating a healthy diet, exercising, not smoking or drinking excessively, and of course not using drugs.
However, your fertility doctor may also offer you some additional tips when it comes to your everyday activities. Excessive amounts of exercise and exposure to heat and chemicals of any kind may be toxic to your health and especially affect your eggs. Overweight women who don't exercise and eat a poor diet may see these habits lead to poorer quality eggs as well. Having a well-balanced diet and trying to be as healthy as possible with a large amount of antioxidant intake can be very helpful — however, even this will not stop the aging of eggs and a normal decline of pregnancy rates with age.
Currently, there are many supplements on the market that claim to help patients have better quality eggs and slow the aging process of the reproductive system. There are only a couple endorsed by medical literature that I believe have any merit.
Coenzyme Q10 also known as CoQ10 is a strong antioxidant and at doses of 200 mg three times a day has been shown to decrease the oxidative damage (cellular damage) to all eggs that remain within the ovary. Additionally, DHEA, , which is a very mild male hormone that converts into estrogen in the female body, when taken at 25 mg orally three times a day has also been shown to help promote growth of the eggs that still remain in the female body. But keep in mind — none of these medications and supplements will increase or change the total number of eggs.
Although egg number and quality are some of the most widely discussed issues when it comes to trying to conceive as you age, they aren't the only factors at play. When it comes to sexual desire and comfort during intercourse, the aging process can also affect women by causing vaginal dryness, which can make sex uncomfortable.
Luckily ASTROGLIDE TTC (Trying to Conceive) is a personal lubricant which doesn't impede the transport of sperm into the uterine cavity, making it a great choice for partners who want to become parents. For these reasons it can be a helpful tool to have on-hand while trying to conceive — especially if you experience vaginal dryness during intercourse caused by age.
Despite the effects of aging on the reproductive system, many women simply don't want to have children at a younger age (or aren't able to for any number of reasons). For these women, thebest recommendation that I could make is to think ahead and consider the egg freezing process. This can help you later in life if you decide you want to have children but have infertility issues. It's important to remember that no matter how much you plan and how healthy a lifestyle you may live, the process of aging will occur for everyone, and having the security of knowing that younger, healthier eggs are frozen and available for the future can be very reassuring.
Have you experienced infertility issues as a result of aging? Do you take your own steps to mitigate these effects? Feel free to share your experience in a comment!

In a completely expected move, a coalition of natural gas drilling companies in Pennsylvania came out last week against higher taxes on natural gas drilling companies in Pennsylvania.
The Marcellus Shale Coalition, that industry group, on Thursday blasted plans from a variety of Democrats' gubernatorial hopefuls who say they want to increase the taxes paid by the natural gas industry for tapping the state's natural gas reserves. Drillers in Pennsylvania pay a so-called impact fee to the state and local governments – drillers have paid more than $400 million since the fee was imposed in 2012 – but Democrats want to increase the rate and use it to fund a range of state-level programs that have nothing to do with drilling.
"Every square inch of the Commonwealth is benefiting from this generational opportunity," the coalition said in a statement. "It would be irresponsible and ill-advised to advance massive new energy taxes that would strike an unnecessary blow to one of our economy's most important, thriving and promising sectors."
It's hardly surprising. After all, what industry would not oppose a politically driven effort to single them out for higher tax rates?
But there is more to the story, and it's a story voters will hear plenty about in the next year.
With Gov. Tom Corbett looking like one of the most vulnerable governors in the country for the 2014 election cycle, the natural gas industry figures to be one of his most important allies.
