WASHINGTON, D.C. – This Thanksgiving, as families gather for the traditional turkey dinner, they can also learn more about their family health history, said Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin, who notes that Thanksgiving 2012 is the nation's ninth annual Family Health History Day.
"An important step in prevention and wellness is learning about health conditions in our families that may put us at increased risk for diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, Alzheimer's disease, mental illness and many others," said Dr. Benjamin. "Tracking illnesses from one generation to the next can help health care providers predict illnesses for which you may be at risk, and develop a personalized disease-prevention plan just for you."
An Internet-based tool, My Family Health Portrait, lets anyone create a portrait of the family's health history. It is available on the Surgeon General's site at https://familyhistory.hhs.gov. The tool is secure, free and takes about 20 minutes to create. The information remains private, and the site does not retain any of the information.
When someone completes the questions, the site creates a personalized family health tree that can be saved to a personal computer. The portrait can be shared with other family members who may not be home for Thanksgiving, and relatives can build on the Family Health Portrait by adding their health information to it.
Prepare for a Thanksgiving Day family conversation by making a list of relatives including parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, and cousins. Since some health conditions skip generations, make sure to talk to older relatives who may be aware of additional history.
Offering a doctor, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner a family health history can help them recommend specific tests or treatment plans to prevent or delay disease, which can personalize care.
"On this Thanksgiving holiday, I hope you and your family will take a few minutes to create a family health portrait," Dr. Benjamin said. "Learning your family's health history can be an enjoyable way to invest in the future of your health and your family's health."

Man cleared in 2004 Upstate murder sues deputies
Man cleared in 2004 Upstate murder sues deputies
A man cleared in the 2004 killing of an Oconee County cab driver is suing the authorities who arrested him.
Lloyd Andrew Lash says in a lawsuit filed this week that his arrest and prosecution cost him lost earnings, degraded his name and caused him mental pain and suffering.
He had been arrested in 2009 and charged with murder, attempted armed robbery and a weapons violation in the 2004 death of Seneca cab driver George Arthur Roberts.
A jury deliberated a little more than an hour in 2011 before clearing Lash on all charges.
Prosecutors say Roberts had picked up a man at a gas station and was found dead minutes later in his cab, which had gone down an embankment.
The case remains unsolved.

Apologies in advance for the grotesque nature of the story you're about to read.
TMZ is reporting that former MTV Road Rules castmember Abram Boise was arrested over the weekend in Massachusetts, after urinating in public. He was charged with two counts of defacing property and one count of indecent exposure.
This story however takes a turn for the gross when Abe proceeded to pee on the floor of his cell. Oh but it gets worse. The cops moved Abe to another jail cell, after which he then defecated in his hands and smeared it on the cell wall.
Sources close to Abe now tell TMZ he did what he did because he felt the cops were treating him like crap, pun intended.
Abe felt he was "targeted" by police on the night he was arrested for peeing in public because he was one of several people relieving themselves in a bar parking lot after the toilets inside broke down. Abe also told friends he felt the cops targeted him because they recognized him from TV and simply wanted to make an example out of him. Abe also claims the cops continued to taunt him while he was in his jail cell.
Abe was arraigned on Monday and pleaded not guilty to 2 counts of defacing property. He is due back in court May 5th.
Following his season of the Road Rules, Abe has gone on to star in many MTV challenges such as The Gauntlet, The Inferno, Battle of the Sexes 2, The Inferno 3 and The Island. Plus didn't he used to date Coral?
Abe has also come under more criticism due to his new profession, as get this, he now writes children's books.

May 22 (Bloomberg) -- TransCanada Corp.'s proposed pipeline to carry crude from the oil sands of Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast would increase gasoline prices, according to a report from an environmental group that opposes the project.
The Keystone XL pipeline would divert crude oil from the U.S. Midwest to refineries along the Gulf Coast geared to producing diesel fuel for export, the Natural Resources Defense Council said in a report today. That will decrease the amount of gasoline produced for U.S. consumers and raise production costs, making the fuel more expensive, according to Anthony Swift, author of the report and an attorney with the environmental group.
President Barack Obama rejected the project in January saying that more environmental study is needed. The NRDC findings contradict a report last year from IHS CERA, which provides business advice and analysis to energy companies, that said the pipeline would help lower fuel prices.
"This requires President Obama and his administration and the Congress to take a real look at the impact of tar sands to the environment and not have to worry about the political issue of gas prices," Swift said on a conference call with reporters.
The original project, estimated to cost $7.6 billion, would've expanded TransCanada's existing Keystone pipeline to carry as much as 830,000 barrels a day from Canada's oil sands and North Dakota's Bakken Shale along a 1,661-mile (2,672- kilometer) path to Gulf Coast refineries. The NRDC and other environmental groups oppose the expansion of Canadian oil sands production, which they say creates more greenhouse gases than conventional crude.
Project Split
Following Obama's denial, TransCanada split the project and reapplied for separate segments from the Canadian border to Steele City, Nebraska, and from Cushing, Oklahoma, to Texas refineries on the Gulf Coast. The segments would be connected by existing pipeline.
The U.S. State Department has jurisdiction over the section that crosses the international border.
"Yes, it does pull up the Midwest crude price because it equalizes the market, but on the other hand it introduces additional supply to an already fairly saturated region," Sander Cohan, a global transportation fuels analyst and principal with Energy Security Analysis Inc. in Wakefield, Massachusetts, said in an interview. "It might have a small impact."
Friends of the Earth, a Washington-based environmental group, has said the Keystone XL pipeline will increase air pollution and the amount of greenhouse gases associated with the production of crude from the oil-sands region. Crude from the oil sands is 5 percent to 15 percent more carbon intensive than the average crude used in the U.S., according to IHS CERA.
API Job Estimate
The American Petroleum Institute, the Washington-based group that represents more than 470 oil and natural gas companies, said the project will add 20,000 U.S. jobs and lower dependence on oil from the Middle East.
"The Keystone XL tar sands pipeline is not a solution to rising gas prices," according to today's report. "By decreasing the supply of gasoline in the United States and increasing the price refineries pay to produce it, Keystone XL will add to America's pain at the pump."
The U.S. imports 8 million to 9 million barrels of oil a day, according to Shawn Howard, a spokesman for Calgary-based TransCanada.
"To somehow suggest that helping offset current imports from Mexico and Venezuela with this Canadian and American crude is going to drive prices up, because what we're doing is helping replace some of the current feedstock, doesn't make sense," Howard said in an interview.

Have to say it's a rule of thumb to not trade a starter, especially an allstar caliber big for just depth!
The team has six very good core players and that's huge. Douglas seems good enough as a backup, same thing as Speights, who has been rather awful so far and can only get better. Jermaine has been solid, as has DGreen and Ezeli is yet to come back. The team is built well.
Nuggets did it and they were actually able to make moves to make them a better team. It all fell apart for other reasons, but trading an All-Star player certainly wasn't why.
It all depends on the offer

GREER, S.C. (AP) — Blayne Barber shot a 9-under 63 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the Web.com Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am.
Coming off his first tour victory two weeks ago in the South Georgia Classic, the 24-year-old former Auburn player had 10 birdies and a bogey on Greenville Country Club's Chanticleer Course.
"I'm definitely feeling some carry over from the win in Valdosta," Barber said. "It's one of those times when I'm playing well and not thinking a whole lot."
The start of play was delayed four hours because if heavy rain overnight and players were allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls.
South Africa's Dawie van der Walt was second after a 64, also at Greenville Country Club.
Skip Kendall, Kevin Kim, Cliff Kresge, Bill Lunde and Jonathan Randolph shot 65. Kendall, Kim and Kresge opened at Greenville Country Club, and Randolph and Lunde played The Reserve at Lake Keowee.
Kelly Kraft and Mike Miller shot 6-under 65 at the Thornblade Club, the site of the final round. Sweden's Henrik Norlander also was 6 under at Thornblade with two holes left when play was suspended because of darkness.
In the Pro-Celebrity competition, the teams of Max Homa and Janet Gretzky, Adam Hadwin and Wayne Gretzky, and Kresge and Steve Azar topped the leaderboard at 10 under. They all played at Green Valley.

In a quest to find a Lowrider fast enough to compete in the Castrol Top Car Challenge, presented by Castrol Syntec and Lowrider Magazine, we sifted through hundreds of submissions looking for the perfect contestant. Our answer to that search has come to us in the form of Art Medina of Northridge, CA., and his super charged white '68 Caprice. The ideal candidate, Art's Caprice pushes over 400 horsepower, fusing together the explosive blend of American Muscle Car speed and classic Lowrider styling. A lifetime builder with several cars to his credit, Art is certainly a candidate worthy of representing the Lowrider community in this big challenge.
This month, we followed Art as he worked at a break-neck pace to meet the deadlines necessary in order to get his car ready for the contest. Making the transition from the show to the quarter-mile is not an easy one, and Art had to make sure that his car met the safety requirements needed to get track clearance. With this in mind, Art realized that minor modifications were necessary to ensure that the 5,000 pound plus car would be safe enough to race during the grueling competitions that undoubtedly lay ahead. Upon the completion of these minor upgrades we'll take the Caprice to the track, but for now, follow along as Art prepares the Chevy for the contest.
Remember to stay tuned next month as the contest is set to begin. Keep on top of the Castrol Syntec Top Car Challenge by logging onto the www.SyntecTopCarChallenge.com

1. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?jaikiran pai Mar 14, 2011 6:46 AM (in response to Dave Chen)
Moved to "Legal" forum where questions like this are discussed.
2. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Wolf-Dieter Fink Mar 14, 2011 6:53 AM (in response to Dave Chen)
I'm not sure,
renaming might not be an issue because the jar can be identified by META-INF.
But obfuscating IMHO is against open source license, on one hand you might provide the source code, on the other hand it is a strong intervention.
I think it depends on the licence of each library you try to obfuscate, and lawyer might interpreting it different.
But why you try this, it is open source and everybody might have the source code?
3. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Dave Chen Mar 14, 2011 10:26 AM (in response to Wolf-Dieter Fink)
After obfuscating a web appliation and the libraries it uses, it will make it harder to find the calling points.
4. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Dave Chen Mar 14, 2011 10:34 AM (in response to Dave Chen)
If it is legal, it is best to obfuscate all libraries inculding JDK/JVM libraries using proguard. I am not sure if it is possible.
5. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Peter Johnson Mar 14, 2011 10:43 AM (in response to jaikiran pai)
Most of the open source licenses require that you ship the source code for the open source JARs that you ship with your product (or at least make them available on demand). The licenses also require that you prominently identify (usually in documentation) the open source JARs that. So if you have to provide the source and mention which ones you use, why obfuscate them? And as Wolf-Dieter mentioned, it might not be strictly against the license, but it does sort of go against the spirit.
I suspect you are asking this because your build process automatcially obfuscates all JARs. I recommend that you exlcude the open source jARs from that part of the process.
Oh, one thought - many of the licenses (e.g. LGPL) require that if you modify the code, that you provide the modified sources. Thus if the obfuscator changes anything within the JARs (e.g., changes method names, juggles the algorithms, etc.), then you must provide source code that matches the obfuscated code. The Apache license doesn't require this, all it requires is attribution.
6. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Dave Chen Mar 14, 2011 12:51 PM (in response to Peter Johnson)
Thanks for comments. The purpose of obfuscating code is to protect our own code, not open source code. If we obfuscate all jars used together with our code, it would make it more difficult to figure out where and how our code uses the open-source api. For example, for some security code using java crypto API, if we can obfuscate such API, it would be much harder for others to break the code and figure out crypto algorithms, etc.
We can ship the open-source code or make it available on website for download on demand. But to my knowledge, it is not required to document how our code uses the open-source API. So in my opinion, it makes no difference to obfuscate it or not because it is not meant to let people read the bytecode and reverse engineering the code. just my opinion.
7. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Wolf-Dieter Fink Mar 15, 2011 11:27 AM (in response to Dave Chen)
'just my opinion' -> I think in a similar way before ....
some lawyer check the 'open source' license stuff for the product and there are a lot of issues what might sin against the licenses.
So it depends on your product and on your company what is aceptable, the decision in that case was to be unappeasable.
8. Re: illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Peter Johnson Mar 15, 2011 12:31 PM (in response to Dave Chen)
So in my opinion, it makes no difference to obfuscate it
Please define the second "it" in the above quote. I think that you meant "your proprietarty code" but based on the sentence structure the term "it" seems to be referring to the open source JARs.
And I agree that there is nothing to prevent you from obfuscating your code, even if your code uses open source libraries. (Though you do have to be really careful with using GPLed code...)
But licenses are sort of strange because they don't mean anything unless the license holder is willing to enforce the license. And I think that the open source community is very lax on enforcement of their licenses. There might be occasional rumblings in forums or blog posts, though usually from consumers of products that are not following the licensing requirements of the open source software they contain. Unless a license holder is willing to throw lawyers at a license violator, the license is in effect not worth the paper on which it is printed.
Of course, throwing lawyers at an open source license infringer does not always guarantee a clear outcome. Here is some worthwhile reading:
9. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Dave Chen Mar 20, 2011 2:03 AM (in response to Peter Johnson)
Thanks for info.
LGPL/GPLed software allows companies to modify them and redistribute them. Obfuscation is one kind of modification. So it should be legal. Of course, companies can provide obfuscated open-source jars for download on request. Is there any one interested in reading obfuscated code? It is already in the distribution.
I heard that it is not acceptable to provide open-source download on company website according to the license. But it is not good to force customers to download a big zip like 2G. Users prefer to download smaller running code like 200M. So open-source code download should be separated from running code, and should be based on user demands. In this sense, LGPL/GPL should be modified in a new version.
Anyway, who is the owner of LGPL/GPL software? All people in the world contribute their efforts to the open-source, including dev, suggestion, testing, etc. It belongs to the world. It is the real meaning of the open-source. Again in my opinion, if an open-source code is not licensed under a friendly condition, it should not be opened and shared in the first place, and let people in the world waste their time to contribute their efforts.
10. illegal to obfuscate open source jars?Peter Johnson Mar 21, 2011 3:20 PM (in response to Dave Chen)
Obfuscation is one kind of modification. So it should be legal.
I never said it wasn't. I just pointed out that there are licensing issues to be considered, especially if the obfuscation modifies things such as class and method names.
Anyway, who is the owner of LGPL/GPL software? All people in the world contribute their efforts to the open-source, including dev, suggestion, testing, etc. It belongs to the world.
Not true at all. Look at the copyright statement for the code. That copyright owner owns the code and grants to anyone the right to redistribute and use the code in accordance with the licensing provisions, without having to pay the copyright owner for the privilege. And the copyright owner retains ownership of the code that originated with the copyright owner.
Again in my opinion, if an open-source code is not licensed under a friendly condition,
That is why there are a number of different open source licenses. If you want to retain strict control over your code, use the GPL/LGPL or similar license. If you want to be more liberal with what others can do with your code, use the Apache License. If you really want to just give it away, use the MIT/Berkley license. Or the Beer License. So if you originate some code, you are free to decide how to license it and to what extend you want to retain control. Just be aware that it you use a very lenient license that anyone can embed your code within their app and can sell their app and you will have no recourse.

Area News Digest
Taken from the news columns of area newspapers.
Cozad native selected as first team all Big 12
COZAD—While winning the Big 12 North division, Nebraska was able to place four individuals on the All-Conference first team with local gridiron great, defensive tackle Jared Crick being on of the first-team honoree's along with Ndamukong Suh, Prince Amukamara and Larry Asante. Cozad native Crick leads the Cornhuskers with nine sacks and has 14 tackles for loss, with a total tackle count of 67 takedowns. He is the first sophomore to earn first-team All-Conference honors for Nebraska since Matt Herian and Richie Incognito in 2003.—taken from the Tri-City Trib.
Keno up to voters at special election Dec. 15
BROKEN BOW—A special election puts a decision about Keno play before Broken Bow voters on Dec. 15. Council members elected to let voters decide whether to allow Keno gaming in the city of Broken Bow where a portion of the proceeds would return to the community. By law, at least 65-percent of the total money spent on Keno has to be returned in prize money. If voters decide to allow for Keno play, funds are being tabbed for swimming pool operations.—taken from the Custer County Chief.
Flaming corn judged the top popper
OGALLALA—The Flamings' popcorn, under the Nebraska-based Preferred Popcorn brand, was entered into the third annual Screen Trade Magazine Popcorn Challenge and garnered top honors. Popcorn grown by Keith County farmers Martin and Jonathan Flaming were pleased their popcorn took first place as the best tasting popcorn in the contest, surpassing even the brand names. According to the Flamings, the top notch popcorn could be attributed to the yearly rotation of planting, the soil or weather conditions, and "winning over Orville Redenbacher and Jolly Time was certainly fun."—taken from the Keith County News.
3 rollover accidents occur in Frontier Co.
CURTIS—There have been three rollover accidents in Frontier County within just a few days of each other. Nov. 30, a 27-year-old rural Frontier County man died in a one vehicle rollover accident on a county road. On Nov. 22, a rollover accident east of Curtis found a 57-year-old man trapped in his pickup, and was transported to North Platte for treatment. Also involved in a rollover accident on Nov. 25 was a white Ford pickup, after encountering icy conditions on Highway 23 near Curtis. Details of the accident were unavailable as the vehicle came to rest on its top in the north ditch.—taken from the Frontier County Enterprise.
Showing first-run movies is theatre goal
ARNOLD—The Rialto Theatre has set a goal of raising $20,000 for a projector and screen to show first-run movies. A recent town survey showed overwhelmingly that area people would like to see movies on a regular basis. Members of the theatre board voted to proceed with purchasing the equipment with a fund drive which stands at $5,778. A number of people have already volunteered to help with the operations of the theatre and will be a major aspect of movie matinees and night showings.—taken from the Arnold Sentinel.
St. Louis writer spins Sandhills tales
CALLAWAY—The buzz has been growing recently for a book written by a suburban St. Louis journalism professor about some local folks in the Sandhills region—including the Callaway and Oconto area. The stories of Dorothy Miller, John and Jo Ellen Wiese of Callaway, and the late Wayne Jenkins of said same, are prominently featured in chapters of the book called "Nebraska Stories: Tales of Cowboys, Ranchers and Assorted Characters," by Craig Savoye. The 288 page book recounts stories of the local residents with tales of ranch life, neighbors, cowboys and the like.—taken from the Callaway Courier.

Paul Mariner was condemned to a dismal 2-0 defeat in his first game in charge of struggling Plymouth after Preston coasted to victory.
The hosts had failed to win any of their previous seven Coca-Cola Championship outings but first-half goals from Richard Chaplow and Ross Wallace effectively sealed the points.
Midfielder Chaplow volleyed home the opener in the 10th minute and Scotland winger Wallace swept home a second 16 minutes later.
That ensured a dismal start to life under head coach Mariner, handed control of all footballing activities after Paul Sturrock was removed from his position on Thursday and given a business support role.
The new boss was forced to make changes to the Pilgrims' defence following Tuesday's 1-0 defeat at Swansea.
On-loan Aston Villa centre-half Shane Lowry was suspended after he was dismissed for two yellow cards at the Liberty Stadium and fellow loanee David Gray was ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
Reda Johnson was recalled to the heart of defence while on-loan Cardiff defender Darcy Blake also earned a starting berth.
Preston boss Alan Irvine was without Billy Jones after the right-back limped out of Tuesday's goalless draw against Derby having sustained an ankle injury during the second half.
Yet the hosts quickly assumed control of proceedings and came close to opening the scoring after five minutes.
Wallace collected possession 25 yards from goal and was afforded the time and space to advance forward and drive a left-footed volley just wide.
Three minutes later, Plymouth flickered into life when Alan Judge rifled a fierce shot goalwards but on-loan Stoke midfielder Michael Tonge did well to block his effort.
But the pendulum quickly swung back in Preston's favour and they led in the 10th minute when Chaplow's delightful volley flew into the bottom left-hand corner from 20 yards.
Almost immediately, North End went in search of their second when striker Chris Brown hit a 25-yard shot which Romain Larrieu saved comfortably.
Yet the hosts continued to probe and, after Jon Parkin headed over the crossbar and had a similar effort saved by Larrieu, the second goal arrived in the 26th minute.
Brown showed intelligence to find Wallace 12 yards from goal with a neat pass and the former Sunderland man did the rest with a clinical right-footed finish into the bottom corner.
Plymouth attempted to hit back in the 28th minute when Carl Fletcher narrowly missed the target from 30 yards.
But North End had opportunities to stretch their lead before the break as Chaplow fired just over and Liam Chilvers headed a corner from Wallace over from just six yards out.
Both sides began the second half in lively fashion and in the 53rd minute Judge tested home stopper Andy Lonergan with an 18-yard drive.
In the 55th minute, an inswinging corner from Paul Parry was nodded wide by Neill Collins.
Parkin then headed wide from another clever cross by Chaplow but Plymouth almost had a lifeline in the 68th minute when Gary Sawyer hit the bar from 25 yards.

The light brown apple moth (LBAM) was first detected in the Bay area in late February and has since been trapped in Central Coast and Bay area counties.
This is a serious pest and quarantine areas have been established in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, Marin, and Santa Clara counties, covering 182 square miles. Quarantine areas are expected soon for San Mateo, Santa Cruz (Soquel area), and Monterey (Prunedale, Royal Oaks area) counties.
This quarantine will "prohibit the movement of all nursery stock and host fruits and vegetables from the quarantine region unless it is certified as free from the pest by an agricultural official."
The LBAM (Epiphyas postvittana) is a tortricid leafroller moth similar to Pandemis moth, orange tortrix, and fruittree learoller which already occur in the Central Coast. It is a native of Australia but also occurs in New Zealand, New Caledonia, Hawaii, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
The larvae and moth are most similar to Pandemis moth in appearance. There is a pheromone lure available for trapping the adult male moth for monitoring purposes.
More than 250 hosts for the LBAM have been documented. Almost all major fruit and vegetable crops can be infested and many ornamentals.
On fruit trees, the most significant damage is surface fruit feeding, resulting in scarring similar to the other leafrollers. Internal damage to fruit can also occur, but it is much less common. The larvae can enter apple and pear fruits through the calyx.
Internal damage has also been noted as a problem with apricots, peaches, and walnuts. Leaf feeding damage is of lesser significance in tree crops. The overwintering larvae may bore out buds in late winter similar to eyespotted budmoth.
Other leafrollers have been effectively controlled through a combination of biological controls, cultural controls (thinning of fruit clusters), and the proper selection and timing of pesticide applications (both conventional and organically-acceptable) that control the pest without injuring beneficial parasites and predators.
However, additional control measures for this pest may be needed on crops that currently receive few insecticide sprays, such as apricots and cherries, because the LBAM has multiple (3-4) generations per year.
The LBAM also requires excellent spray coverage because it rolls leaves or hides in clusters of fruit. The other major problem will be that certain markets will not accept commodities from the quarantine areas or possibly the whole state. Florida has already imposed a quarantine on all California nursery stock.
The timing and efficacy of insecticide sprays in California have not been researched due to the recent arrival of the pest. Australian sources indicate most spray materials effective for codling moth control will control LBAM.
The official California Department of Food and Agriculture web site is http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/phpps/pdep/lbam_main.htm.
This site has descriptions of LBAM and quarantine maps. Internet web searches for "light brown apple moth" will give you a lot of other information from Australia and the United Kingdom.

The index of U.S. leading indicators climbed in April, a rebound from March that suggests the world's largest economy may be poised for further expansion.
The Conference Board's gauge of the outlook for the next three to six months climbed 0.6% in April after falling a revised 0.2% in March that was steeper than previously reported, the New York-based group said today. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 0.2% increase.
Advancing stock prices and a recovering housing market may be propping up household spending, which accounts for about 70% of the economy. Still, slowing in manufacturing, automatic federal budget cuts and higher payrolls taxes threaten economic growth.
"Fundamentals have improved," Russell Price, a senior economist at Ameriprise Financial Inc. in Detroit, said before the report. "Things like consumer balance sheets, corporate balance sheets, the housing sector, and certainly the improvement in the energy picture for the United States are all positive factors."
Estimates of 45 economists in the Bloomberg survey ranged from no change to an increase of 0.7% for the leading index.
Building Permits
Seven of the 10 indicators in the leading index contributed to the increase, including a jump in building permits, a drop in the number of jobless claims and the widening interest-rate spread between the federal funds rate and 10-year Treasury notes.
"The biggest risk right now is the adverse impact of cuts in federal spending," Ken Goldstein, an economist at the Conference Board, said in a statement today. "The biggest positive factor is the potential for improvement in the recovering housing and labor markets."
The Conference Board's index of coincident indicators, a gauge of current economic activity, rose 0.1% in April after rising a revised 0.2% in the prior month.
The coincident index tracks payrolls, incomes, sales and production, which are the same measures the National Bureau of Economic Research uses to determine the beginning and end of U.S. recessions.
The gauge of lagging indicators also rose 0.1% after advancing a revised 0.2% in March. An improvement in the labor market has not continued so far this month.
Applications for unemployment insurance payments jumped by 32,000 to 360,000 in the week ended May 11, the most since the end of March, Labor Department figures showed yesterday.

Hi, Guys. I have a question: Is there an alternative or a similar software to Moosoft's THE CLEANER?
Today, just I booted up my comp, It started acting weird, like error messages all over the place, left button on mouse acting like the right button, inability to delete programs.
Because I downloaded the CLEANER some time ago, the evaluation period is over thus I can't freely use it.
is there a similar program for Win XP?

Today I present a handful of concerns from the sexually worrisome.

Gender: Male
How does one prepare a solution to be used for a male anal douche?
Warm water is all you need. Never use soap.
Some men add lemon juice or vinegar (1-2 Tbs per quart) of the warm water. Others dissolve (2 Tbs) of baking soda in a quart of warm water.
Stay away from commercially produced douches, most contain harmful and irritating chemicals. And trust me, you don't want that. Besides, commercial douches are expensive and all that packaging is definitely not eco-friendly. And we all want to be green perverts, don't we?
Finally I'd like to turn you on to the Ergo Speed Douche. Brad, of the Dr Dick Review Crew, gave it a stunning review. Check it out. You can find it, and all the products we've reviewed, on drdicksextoyreviews.com.
Good luck

Hi! Um how do you know whether you should be a sub or a dom? And is there a contract for a sub/dom relationship? Thank you, and bye!
Whoa, hun, there are no "shoulds" when it comes to power exchange play.
With a little more life experience under your belt, the kind that will come over the next few years, you will no doubt discover on your own whether you have tendencies for either one or the other of these roles. I assure you that it will reveal itself to you in time.
Yes, often there is a contract of sorts that organically forms between a sub and his/her Dom. The details of which are always determined by the uniqueness of the relationship. So no need to get too far ahead of yourself in this regard either.
Hey, why don't ya do yourself a favor and allow yourself the time you need to let your life unfold in a natural sorta way? I mean, where's the fire? Besides, this is not something you can force or artificially accelerate.
Good luck

Is there any cream out there that really works to promote better blood flow to my penis? I believe from over masturbating I have lost some of my hardness during sex. If not is there any thing I can take over the counter herb, vitamins, whatever that may contain certain things that can help. What is the best solution for me.
Hold on there, fella! You're only a tender 22 years of age and yet you say you've already lost some of your "hardness" to excessive masturbation? How is this possible? How many times a day are you pullin' your pud, darlin'? Is there something else goin on that you're not telling me? If not, maybe you could give your peanut a little break. Sheesh!
To start with, penis enlargement pills and patches proliferate on internet, but there is virtually no documented evidence that they work. All such products use herbal ingredients, like ginkgo biloba and yohimbe, which act as stimulants and vasodilators. The best one can say is that some pills may enhance blood flow, which may, in some cases, cause an ever so slight increase in wood. However, once you start a program like this, you need to continue it for as long as you want the effects to last. Imagine how expensive that would be; these products are pretty pricy.
Regarding the "hardness" issue you mention. Perhaps that's best handled by a simple cockring. Here's a tip: always look for the low-tech solution to a problem first.
Good luck

Title: Phono Stage
Post by Imkhawx on 09/21/10 at 13:15:10
I've just ordered a new phonostage from Steve and was wondering if current owners would mind posting up their impressions.
I currently run a Dynavector P75 Mk II with a Karat 17D3 cartridge which sounds great but can get a little cold.
I am planning on running the new phonostage of a second arm (Jelco SA750D) I've just installed ..... with a Soundsmith SMMC2 moving iron cartridge.
Would be interested to hear your views/advice etc.
Title: Re: ZP3 update
Post by Imkhawx on 12/22/10 at 13:00:51
Well... I've been running my ZP3 (custom with built in step-up transformer and switchable between MM and MC for the 2 arms on my deck) for less than a week but I feel compelled to give a quick review.
When I first got them and hooked everything up, I encountered an almighty hum which I never had with my old Dynavector P75.... Fortunately, with Steve's help, we managed to isolate the issue to a ground loop problem which got sorted out by running a heavy gauge ground cable from the ZP3's ground terminal to a ground on my mains conditioner. Once I got all that sorted out..... (4 days ago!) I settled in to become acquainted with it.
It beats the Dynavector hands-down.... no contest.
There's a warmth and weight that I absolutely adore. Wide open soundstage and airy..... but what really got my juices going was how silent this thing is with the quiet sections of music.... best way I can describe it is that it has a kind of "blackness of sound" that I've seldom found at any price level.
Just so natural and real.
I've since relegated my Dynavector to the bedroom set-up and placed the ZP3 into my main listening room and it's not even run-in yet... in fact, I'd have no reservations in saying that this thing is superb fresh out of the oven. I can't wait to see how good it gets once it's fully broken in.
It does like to run when fully warmed up though..... Takes a good half-hour from cold for it to show it's true colours.... so now I leave it on standby mode at all times it's not playing.
I've used a lot of phono stages over the years..... never ever quite found precisely what I was looking for...... I must say that as far as favourites go, the best one I've ever had was an old 6922 unit built by a friend many, many years ago which is now long gone (both phono stage and friend now grace a different plane of existence :'( )....
But the ZP3 is fast climbing the charts and with a little experimentation rolling tubes, I have a feeling that I may just be able to surpass the much loved and missed 6922......
Simply superb phono stage.... love it to bits.
Do you yourselves a favour and give it a go if you need a phono stage. I seriously doubt you will be anything less than fully satisfied.... you may even fall in love! ;D
Title: Re: Phono Stage
Post by Imkhawx on 12/28/10 at 13:56:52
I just can't get over how good this thing is.
I've been listening to music tonight for hours and hours..... something I've not done in a long time. Generally I'd relax with a cup of coffee and good music for about an hour just before bed..... but the last couple of days, I've found myself trawling through my collection for long forgotten goodies and found myself in raptures!
Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan (Sara from the Desire album is particularly entrancing), Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull, SRV, Gary Moore, Keb 'Mo, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Ella, Lena and quite a few of the local artists here (in my language) have all passed through my deck.
The most amazing thing is that you forget about the equipment and just enjoy the music being offered up by each and every artist..... and I can give no higher accolade than that.... Steve challenged us to find a USD2500 phono stage to rival his ZP3. Forget that! You'd be hard pressed to find something better under 10 grand IMHO.
As it was running in, I found myself thinking about rolling tubes to maybe an NOS Mullard 12AX7 and the like. Now, I'd say forget it..... this thing is beyond superb.
I'm telling you man.... if you love vinyl, get the ZP3. I'm using a Dynavector Karat 17D3 MC on an Origin Live Encounter arm and a Soundsmith SMMC2 MM on a Jelco SA750D arm with the ZP3 and you'll never believe how good either of these combos sound.
It is ludicrously good.
Kudos steve..... from a VERY, VERY satisfied customer.

Post by marky on 07/14/12 at 22:09:52
Day four with my new ZP3 & ZMC-1. One very happy customer ! Out of the box it sounded thin and a bit quiet. Thanks to Steve for fielding my concerns. Perhaps the coils and magnets needed a good charging, I dont know. I`ve never had bass like this, it`s so responsive. Those little extra pressure notes the bassists sometimes play low in the register sound like subtle mini slams, really moving air. Guitars played through Plexiglass amps and the like are rendered so piercingly. I wont go and on about the overall sound and musicality, but I could easily. :) After months of researching the net for a new phono to be the last link in a long upgrade I`m so glad to have made the right choice. What it will be like after the power chord upgrade, silver teflon i/c, some nos tubes, and other stuff in my system have all burned in around 50 hours down the road I cant imagine. Did I mention the looks of the ZP3 ?............ 8-) - Syd
Title: Re: Phono Stage
Post by Lon on 07/14/12 at 23:44:03
Congrats Syd! Glad it is sounding so good. I may try this out one of these days as I'm surprising myself by how much vinyl I'm listening to these days.

I suggest you put a couple of hundred hours on it and you will be amazed at how it likes to be tube rolled. Its a fine piece well worth the money and the wait .

I have had our ZMC-1 >ZP3 for about one and a half years, ab-so -lute-ly FANTASTIC. I an using an old Shinon Red LOMC and it's still in great shape but needs to be retired.

DINGER BATS Model 73 Adult Wood Baseball Bat
Product Code: DBC73
Availability: Custom Made To Order
Availability: Custom Made To Order
Price: $55.00
The 73 is based on the model Barry Bonds used originally created by Sam Bat. It's your basic big barrel power hitters bat but they added an extra-large flared knob. It acts like a counter balance making what would normally be an end loaded bat feel more balanced. Barry choked up 2-3 inches with this model to get the full effect of the counter weight, but we think 1 inch is fine so consider ordering it longer then you normally would. We recommend this model for more seasoned wood bat users.
|Custom made to order just for you. Please allow 2-4 weeks for delivery in most cases
|Similar to a 73
|Handle flares to the larger knob
|Handle measures 2.21" where it meets the knob
|Handle measures .95" at the top of your bottom hand (approx. 5" up from the knob)
|Barrel measures 2.47" at the sweet spot and 2.49" near the very end of the barrel
|Choose from- Base Ash: Selected from #1 grade billets. Pro Ash: Meets all MLB requirements as far as grains per inch and straightness. M-Series Ash: The best of the best. Exceeds standard MLB specs. Pro Maple and Birch: Selected from #1 grade billets. M-Series Maple and Birch: Pro Ink Dot Certified to meet all MLB specs. The best of the best.

This may spark some renewed interest in the appearances collection.A new Sets tab in the Appearances UI is where youll find this new way of tracking item sets from previous Raids, PvP Seasons, and more.
I don't see Obliterum demand increasing much further, there will be 8 upgrade levels in 7.2.All item level 815 crafted end-game gear will now be crafted at item level 835.
The Obliterum Forge should now always be available to players, and requires no questline.
All existing items between item levels 815-830 will retain their existing item level. The first application of Obliterum will bring them up to 840, and the Obliterum cap has been increased to iLvl 875..
Bracers won't sell as readily.
This is AWESOME. I'm going to have 24 completed work orders queued up in anticipation of this, hopefully I can get a jump on the new system.Nomi now provides Prepared Ingredients as part of his work orders, which can be combined to create up to 10 servings of a random recipe known by the player.

Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 2, Astros 11 – April 12, 2011
Well, that was just a fluky game you've got to chalk up to "who could have possibly predicted such a disaster?" Right? Oh. Wait.
Although he was horrible, I actually feel bad for James Russell. As I said before, he was a lamb being led to the slaughter – and he was slaughtered. Hopefully the Cubs can figure out a better back-up plan for the next 5th starter turn in the rotation. But there's someone else who also helped the Cubs last night and deserves the enhancement.

Great blog posts don't magically engage readers. But by applying a few good tactics, your blog can attract and retain your ideal readers.
Here are seven powerful blog posting habits:
Tip #1: Clear Targeting
The first rule for creating effective content for your business blog is to completely understand why you're blogging. Have a thorough understanding of your ideal reader's (your customer's) profile and of your core message as it relates to your business. If you have a really clear idea about who you're writing for, it's going to be easier to write. Your blog posts will be on target and on purpose. You won't be meandering off into subjects that are irrelevant to your audience.

ADAIRSVILLE, Ga. A huge storm system raking the Southeast hammered a Georgia town on Wednesday, overturning cars on an interstate and killing at least one person there, authorities said.
Bartow County Fire Chief Craig Millsap said the body was found in the storm damage but did not have further details on how the person died.
The same system also was blamed for a death in Tennessee.
Most dangerous were powerful wind gusts that in several places were powerful enough to overturn tractor-trailers.
There were reports that people were trapped in homes and businesses, and television footage showed large sections of a sprawling manufacturing plant had been destroyed.
Footage also showed a funnel cloud roaring through the downtown area of Adairsville, about 60 miles northwest of Atlanta, flipping cars and demolishing a home. Interstate 75 was closed in both directions after the storm flipped cars onto their roofs and tossed them onto the grassy shoulder.
At least two tornadoes were confirmed and several more suspected, and conditions remained ripe for more. Since Tuesday, the system had caused damage across a swath from Missouri to Georgia.

Jays experimenting with solutions for Reyes injury
Apr. 14, 2013
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Blue Jays are experimenting with playing Brett Lawrie at second base as a way to deal with an ankle injury that will keep Jose Reyes out until the All-Star break.
Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos said that Lawrie, on a rehab assignment with Class-A Dunedin, will play at second base the next few games to see whether it works out.
Lawrie has played most of his career at third base, though he did play some second base when he was coming up through the Milwaukee Brewers' farm system.
"We know he can do it. He's done it before," Anthopoulos said before Sunday's game against Kansas City. "Even if we don't need to do it now, we'll have it in the back pocket that he can."
The move would allow Maicer Izturis to take Reyes' place at shortstop. Jose Bautista would continue at third base, and Rajai Davis and Emilio Bonifacio would split time in right field.
Anthopoulos is also exploring trade options for a shortstop, though he warned that he won't overspend for a stop-gap that can fill in until the Blue Jays' All-Star returns.
Reyes was hurt in the sixth inning of Friday night's series opener when he slid awkwardly into second base. An MRI revealed a significant sprain of his left ankle, and the Blue Jays do not expect Reyes back until the middle of July.
He remained with the team Sunday, hobbling around on crutches with his ankle in a boot.
Munenori Kawasaki was brought up to help out at shortstop on Saturday, and he was starting alongside Izturis at second base on Sunday. Anthopoulos didn't rule out Kawasaki sharing time at shortstop until Reyes returns, but he's hopeful Lawrie is able to create some flexibility.
"When I called him, I said, 'What do you think?'" Anthopoulos said, "and he was very receptive. If I told Brett, 'I need you to pitch two innings,' he'd say, "Sure, I can throw two shutout innings.' He feels very strongly he can do it and be good at it."
Lawrie's appearance at second base Sunday was to be his first game action since sustaining a rib injury March 6 in an exhibition game for Canada ahead of the World Baseball Classic.
He's coming off a season in which he hit .273 with 11 homers and 48 RBIs in 125 games.
Lawrie's move to second would only work if Bautista is willing to take over at third base on a permanent basis. The slugger has played primarily in the outfield the past four seasons, but has appeared in 385 career games at third base.
"Jose's always the same. Wherever the team needs him, he'll do it," Anthopoulos said. "It's a good problem to have when you can play two positions really well."

The way the University of Redlands football team played for two weeks, it wouldn't be going out on a limb to say the Bulldogs were the heavy favorite to win a SCIAC championship.
As always Occidental looked like the stiffest competition with Cal Lutheran the other possible stumbling block. But Redlands has both those games at home.
Now comes word that quarterback Dan Selway is out with a broken foot. Hmmmmm! Things just got a lot more interesting.
Injuries are never good, especially one of that magnitude. But the Bulldogs still have some things in their favor. First, Selway was injured in the game against Whitworth on Sept. 20. The Bulldogs were idle last week so understudy Steve Smith will have two full weeks to get ready.
Second, Smith is not a newcomer. He played in each of the first two games, although it was in a mop-up role. He also played the second half of the playoff game last year at St. John's (Minn.) when Selway was sidelined by a shoulder injury. There is no bigger stage than that one and Smith performed admirably.
Third, the Bulldogs get La Verne first. While the Leopards look to be much-improved, they are probably still at least a year away from seriously challenging for a conference title. This should be a good game for Smith to get his feet wet.
Oxy is up after that. But let's see how the Bulldogs do this week without Selway for the first time.
Did the Bulldogs lofty hopes go down with Selway? Probably not. The Bulldogs have enough left to contend. They just have a little less room for error.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican judge on Wednesday ordered the release of a retired army general accused of aiding a drug cartel after federal prosecutors dropped the organized crime charges against him, citing a lack of evidence.
Retired Gen. Tomas Angeles Dauahare has been held in the Altiplano maximum security prison near Mexico City since last year, when he arrested and accused of links to the Beltran Leyva cartel.
An official with the Attorney General's Office said prosecutors dropped the charges because the witness testimony was not enough to sustain their case. He said Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam studied the case, which was begun during former President Felipe Calderon's administration, and concluded that "witness testimony didn't prove guilt."
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not allowed to discuss the case.
Angeles Dauahare's lawyer, Ricardo Sanchez, said prosecutors acted responsibly because there was no proof that linked the former general to the Beltran Leyvas.
Angeles Dauahare, who was assistant defense secretary from 2006 to 2008, was one of four generals and a lieutenant colonel arrested in the case based on the testimony of two drug informants. The official didn't say whether the other four defendants would also be released.
Some security analysts said the case against the retired general could have been political revenge for his open criticism of Calderon's military crackdown on drug traffickers and because he took part in an event organized by the opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, amid a presidential campaign. Mexican media speculated at the time that then PRI candidate Enrique Pena Nieto was considering him as a possible candidate to head the Defense Department if he won the presidency.
The two witnesses in the case were Sergio Villarreal Barragan, who was part of the leadership of the Beltran Leyva cartel, and another man who hasn't been identified but who was the key accuser in the case against former drug czar Noe Ramirez Mandujano. A judge ordered the release of Ramirez Mandujano on Monday after determining the witness had given false testimony and prosecutors had likely fabricated evidence.
Charged in the same case is U.S.-born drug trafficker Edgar Valdes Villarreal, alias "La Barbie," who worked for the Beltran Leyva cartel until the gang begun to break up with the death of leader Arturo Beltran Leyva in a 2009 shootout with marines. The cartel was one of the main targets of the Calderon administration and several of its leaders were arrested or killed.
Angeles Dauahare was the highest-ranking army official arrested for alleged links to drug traffickers since three-star-Gen. Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo was detained in 1997. Gutierrez Rebollo, then head of Mexico's anti-drug agency, was later convicted and sentenced to 71 years in prison for protecting the Juarez drug cartel.
Angeles Dauahare's wife, Leticia Zepeda, said she expected her husband to be released in the coming hours.
"We're really happy because we're finally seeing justice being served with so many innocent people being held in there," Zepeda said. "Our hope is that this could open doors to other people."
The Mexican government has been repeatedly criticized for basing many of its criminal cases on the testimony provided by protected witnesses without verifying the information.

QUESTION: What is the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography for diagnosing asymptomatic thrombosis associated with an indwelling umbilical venous catheter (UVC) in infants?
Blinded comparison of Doppler echocardiography with contrast venography.
A neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at a university based hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
47 infants (mean gestational age 32.2 wks, mean birth weight 1962 g, 51% boys) who had in situ UVCs for ≥48 hours and the catheter was scheduled for elective removal. All catheters had single lumens and were made of polyvinyl chloride; heparin was not added to intravenous solutions and no blood products were given through the UVC. Exclusion criteria were symptoms and signs of catheter associated thrombosis or catheter malfunction; known anatomic defects of the heart and great vessels; failure to position the tip of the catheter just above the diaphragm, in either the inferior vena cava or the right atrium; and unstable conditions requiring >80% of supplemental oxygen.
Description of test and diagnostic standard
A 2 dimensional echocardiogram supplemented with pulsed wave Doppler and colour Doppler imaging was done by 1 of 3 experienced technologists. The unedited tapes of each echocardiogram were independently reviewed by 3 paediatric cardiologists who were blinded to the venogram results and made a definitive diagnosis about the presence or absence of a thrombus in the right atrium, inferior vena cava, or ductus venosus. The diagnostic standard, contrast venography, was done by a radiologist using a portable image intensifier. A second radiologist, who was blinded to the echocardiographic findings, reviewed the videotaped image and noted the presence or absence of a thrombus and its diameter and location.
Main outcome measures
Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios of Doppler echocardiography.
Main results
14 patients (30%) had thrombosis on venography (4 in the right atrium, 7 in the inferior vena cava, and 3 in the ductus venosus). The test characteristics of Doppler echocardiography were poor (table). Interobserver agreement among 2 cardiologists was good (x=0.90), but was poor between the third cardiologist and the other 2 observers (x=0.27 and 0.31).
Doppler echocardiography was not accurate for diagnosis of asymptomatic thrombosis associated with an indwelling umbilical venous catheter in infants.
15% of all neonates admitted to the NICU require UVCs,1 which are commonly associated with thrombus formation in this population.2 The study by Roy et al found that Doppler echocardiography was not accurate for diagnosis of thrombus in newborn infants. As indicated in the abstract table, echocardiography was poor at identifying thrombi when they actually existed (sensitivity = 21–43%), but more accurately identified when thrombi were not present (specificity = 76–94%). The negative likelihood ratios of 0.75–0.86 indicate that an infant with a negative result on echocardiography still had a 75–86% chance of having a thrombus.
A methodological strength of this study was the blinding of the cardiologists and radiologists who evaluated the results of echocardiography and venography. Interobserver agreement for the presence or absence of thrombus on echocardiography was high for 2 of the cardiologists, but low for a third cardiologist (x=0.27 and 0.31). Such a difference among observers further compromises the utility of echocardiography for detection of thrombus in newborns.
The study by Roy et al also provides evidence that the rate of venographically confirmed thrombus (30%) is higher than reported in previously published research where diagnoses were based on echocardiography (1.8–13%)3,4. The findings do not support the use of echocardiography over venography, the current gold standard, especially when decisions about long term, potentially hazardous, anticoagulant treatment are to be made on the basis of these test results. For nurse practitioners and other members of the medical team who insert UVCs, and for the bedside nurses who maintain them, the findings of Roy et al also highlight the importance of careful deliberation before UVC insertion to ensure that the benefits of venous access in ill newborns outweigh the associated risks, namely thrombus formation.
