Expecting Respect, Giving None in Return - Relationship Advice
Dear Veronica,
Me and my girlfriend fight a lot. She just makes me so mad. Its usually over stupid things. She just either won't drop something or she won't call me back so I have to text her like 100 times. I think if she would just respect me everything would be fine.
Is there anything I can say or do to get her to stop this because whatever I am doing now isn't working.
Dear Java8,
I left the bulk of your email to me out of this posting because I felt it contained a great deal of private information that shouldn't be shared online.
A friend of mine recently asked me if it's that we have unreasonable expectations of others, or if someone else actually has the power to "make" us mad. I think his question should put yours into perspective.
Java8, you need help. Much more help than what I can offer you here. The good news is in your final sentence. You know what you're doing isn't working. It isn't working within your relationship and it isn't working in your life.
No one "makes" us mad. Only you are responsible for your anger, your temper, your actions, your words, and your emotions. You have to own your anger. It's yours, and it is not caused by anyone. It's all you.
You spoke a lot about disrespect in your email. But you view it as extremely one sided. Everything you mentioned was about how you see any thing that happens that didn't go exactly as you wanted it to go, as disrespectful to you. That's not what respect and disrespect are about. More importantly, you never once mention how horribly disrespectful your behavior constantly is to your girlfriend.
For example, you mention that your girlfriend won't stop speaking about a certain subject that you apparently do not wish to discuss. You call this disrespectful. You see what you want is something to be respected. However you completely fail to see what she wants is something to be respected as well. Her wanting to talk about something is important. Whether you think it's stupid, whether you feel guilty or uncomfortable, or whether you can't understand what it is she needs from this conversation, is all completely besides the point that she is trying to communicate. Somehow, some way, she is working on the relationship.
And your refusal to hear her should be a great big flashing yellow caution sign to her that this is an unhealthy relationship, and that you aren't a good partner.
Relationships aren't all smooth sailing. Sometimes you have to talk about things you would rather forget. A large chunk of your email that I didn't post because it contains too many details, names, and places, refers to this opening paragraph statement of yours. You told me she caught you at something, and when she tried to talk to you about it, you said, "Forget it." When she wouldn't, you got furious. You are a kettle on boil, waiting to boil over any minute. And, you blame her for it. You say she's "making you mad" and "disrespecting" you because you don't want to talk about your mistake.
You don't get to decide what she needs to talk about. This is especially true when you're the one that screwed up. Claiming she's disrespecting you because she's smart enough to want to know what happened, is just wrong.
It is immensely disrespectful that you think you can tell her to drop a subject, or forget about it, and that's that. It's delusional, and it's scary. It leads me to believe you need to enter into some professional counseling.
You said if she doesn't text you back right away you "have" to text her multiple times. Again, this is wrong. You don't "have" to behave in that way, and it is certainly not her or her actions that "make" you have to do anything. You are the sole reason you do these things. You are the cause and you are responsible. Your anger is yours, it is not caused by someone else. Your obsessive control and demand for what you want when you want it, is your very serious problem, not anyone else's.
If you send a nice text , a responsible person will most likely text you back when they have a moment. It is that simple.
If you send a text while they are busy, maybe in the shower, maybe driving, maybe on an important phone call with a doctor or the IRS or a family member, maybe at work, maybe out of range, maybe while their battery has died… they will text you back later.
If you send a threatening angry text, you may not get a
response. Your girlfriend may be thinking she'll wait to talk to you in person,
or she'll wait until you've calmed down. That is her right, and that would be a perfectly normal and healthy response.
You do not get to control how other people will act. Claiming they disrespect you when ever they do anything that was contrary to exactly what you wanted, is not normal or logical. Claiming they "make" you do obsessive, angry, immature or irrational things is wrong, and kind of scary.
Respect is something that you don't understand. By definition, respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities or qualities.
Right off the bat, you have to see that nothing you are doing is admirable. Telling your girlfriend she doesn't get to talk about something she wants to talk about, is nothing she should respect. It's nothing any functional adult would respect. Texting someone 100 times because they didn't answer you when you wanted them to, is again, not something any person should respect about you. It's childish, it's controlling, and it's wrong. No one should show respect for you or your actions when they are the way you've described them to be.
Respect is something earned. What have you really done that has earned anyone's respect? This is such a big term for you, but nothing you've explained supports any reason at all why any person should have any respect for you.
Let's also look at how you treat others. I know from your email that you don't show any respect to your girlfriend. That means you don't show her that you admire her or her actions, or that you hold them in any kind of regard. In fact, you demonstrate the opposite. You tell her what she wants doesn't matter at all. You show her disrespect constantly.
Java8, I was definitely very forthright with you regarding your actions and the scenarios you described. Now I want to tell you something else. I want to tell you that the fact that you wrote a letter looking for help, especially one ending with "Whatever I am doing now isn't working," proves you know you need help. You want to change. You want the relationship to be a better one. You want to be a better person.
This is admirable! This is the kind of thing people respect.
Anyone can be wrong, anyone can mess up. Anyone can simply not know how to behave, or how to have a relationship, or how to be. But it takes a genuine and admirable person to step up and ask for help. It takes an admirable person to realize what they are doing isn't working, and that they need to relearn how to act, and how to view the world and themselves.
If you were to say to your girlfriend that you're sorry you've handled things badly in the past, and ask her to help you find a counselor or a therapist, I bet you she would. I bet she'd respect you for this. This would be the most respectable and manly thing you've ever demonstrated to her. Good luck to you.
Have you ever been in a relationship where you felt disrepected?
Gaining respect is something that needs to be earned. It is worth working for.
Hi Veronica,
This hub is spot on and I loved it.
To get respect in this world you have to gain that respect and that controller thinks that everyone should be respectful to him by listening to him and doing as he says.
I had someone like this in my life for far too long and at the end of the day they are just weak people.
Thanks for sharing this great hub and I give this one awesome/useful/and up.
Take care
Veronica -- I agree with DaNoblest -- great article. I really enjoy how you break down the respect with control. I think a lot of controlling people act exactly as Java8 has. Claiming that people not acting in the manner they wish is disrespecting them, and it's ironic because they can't see that their desire to control is actually the one that is disrespectful.
Very informative hub. I believe this is a problem many people have. They mistake respect for obedience or going against their wishes. I completely agree respect is something you earn through your actions and you have to respect someone else to receive respect.
Blaming others based on a their skewed idea of respect is also wrong. I live with someone who is like this and they can be pretty unpleasant at times.

A teacher who hit one of his pupils 53 times in the face for eating sweets on a school trip, injuring his neck and requiring weeks of recovery, has had his pay reduced 10% for 6 months.
The 42-year-old unidentified Kagoshima city middle school teacher was overseeing a school trip when he spotted a 3rd year pupil eating sweets on the bus.
He took him to the staffroom and hit him 3 times in the face, and then had him accompany him to a more secluded spot, where he slapped him a further 50 times.
The boy suffered injuries to his cervical vertebrae as a result of the beating, and required several weeks to recover.
The teacher reported his attack to the principal, but told him he had only hit the boy 10 times and that he had only cut his mouth. The principal issued him a "written reprimand."
After doctors told the boy's parents he would need weeks to recover, they confronted the school with the report, forcing them to reinvestigate.
As a result of this the principal himself was issued a written reprimand by the local school board, and the teacher was given a temporary 10% pay cut lasting 6 months.
In light of recent similar incidents, the apparent legal invulnerability of Japan's teaching profession is again coming under scrutiny online:
"Why wasn't he arrested!?"
"50 times… somebody who does this must be ill."
"This has got to be criminal assault."
"50 times – your face really will swell up like in a manga from that."
"So would your hand."
"And for eating sweets? What a small man."
"Teaching, where you get paid to beat and torment kids – what a great profession."
"Probably some pervert who gets off on this stuff."
"It's disgusting that our taxes support these psychopaths. They are no different from the ones who protect the bullies rather than their victims."
"I guess it depends on the kid's attitude as well."
"What is wrong with eating on a bus anyway?"
"Why don't they fight back? If a teacher tried this on me I would have put a dent in his skull."
"Probably some ordinary kid who cowers when beaten?"
"If a kid did this they would be brought up on charges pretty quick."
"How do they even count it up to 50?"
"At least sack him."
"They need to stop calling acts of assault 'corporal punishment'."
"50 times, seems more like he was trying to kill the boy, not discipline him."

Fall 2005
Paul M. Igasaki Becomes Section Chair
Paul M. Igasaki, Executive Director of the Rights Working Group in Washington, D.C., succeeded Stephen F. Hanlon as Section Chair at the 2005 ABA Annual Meeting. "It is my honor to succeed Steve Hanlon, and a distinguished list of exceptional leaders, as Chair of the ABA's Section of Individual Rights & Responsibilities. I am equally proud to be the first Asian Pacific American to Chair our Section, and one of only a few that has held ABA leadership positions. I look forward to working with our Council and committees."
Paul was recently appointed as the Executive Director of the Rights Working Group, a coalition of civil rights, civil liberties, human rights, and immigrant rights advocates who seek to develop a coordinated response to policies and attitudes leading to the deterioration of civil and human rights in the aftermath of 9/11. Previously, Paul served as Vice Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from 1994-2002, the first Asian Pacific American to serve in that position.
In the upcoming year, Paul has made diversity within the Section's membership one of his main goals. "It is one of my top priorities to strengthen and institutionalize our diversity efforts this year. The Individual Rights Section is rooted in the civil rights movement. For us, increasing diversity should not be solely for its own sake, as valuable as that is, but to enable our Section to speak for us all."
"Our rights are never stronger than they are for the weakest and most unpopular among us at any point in time. The rule of law and the role of lawyers in protecting those laws has never been more important."
Other 2005-2006 officers elected at the Section's Annual Meeting include Robert E. Stein, Washington, D.C. (Chair-elect); Robyn S. Shapiro, Milwaukee, Wis. (Vice Chair); Neal R. Sonnett, Miami, Fla. (Secretary); Roy A. Hammer, Boston, Mass. (Finance Officer); C. Elisia Frazier, Memphis, Tenn. (Section Delegate). John D. Payton of Washington, D.C. and Steven T. Walther of Reno, Nev. were re-elected to three-year terms on the Council. William M. Kanecko of Honolulu, Hawaii was elected to a three-year Council term. Kay H. Hodge of Boston, Mass. and Patrick McGlone Washington, D.C. were both elected to one-year unexpired terms.

- The For Kids Only Childcare areas are colorful, inviting, and kid-centered. It's filled with a dramatic play area, puzzles, teddies, building blocks, books, art and crafts supplies – anything you can think of to keep a kid entertained while their parent is working out. I was really in love with the wall art and décor.
- The birthday party packages are pretty much one-stop shopping. The events coordinator will take care of the entire 2-hour party from set-up to clean-up, and you can choose from several activities like rock climbing, gymnastics, movement, carnival-style, art, music – you name it!
- The locker rooms are neat and clean and there were lots of extra towels on deck. The swimming pool was clean and the water was a good temperature, although there was no Lifeguard on duty.
- The food in the café was delicious and visitors are able to order from the grill or select a lunch or snack that's pre-packaged.

The Court of Appeal case of HS2 Action Alliance & Anor, R (On the Application Of) v The Secretary Of State For Transport [2014] was a claim for judicial review by HS2 Action Alliance and the London Borough of Hillingdon Council, who said that the respondent, the Secretary of State for Transport ("SST"), acted unlawfully when he used statutory powers to make safeguarding directions ("the Directions") under the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2010 protecting the route for Phase 1 of HS2.
Amongst other things the Directions required High Speed Two (HS2) Limited ("HS2 Ltd.") to be consulted on planning proposals affecting the route.
The issue was whether the Directions "set the framework for future development consent of projects", including projects for "EIA development" within the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999, within the safeguarded zone?
If the answer to that question was "Yes", the Directions should have been assessed under the regime for strategic environmental assessment ("SEA") in Directive 2001/42/EC ("the SEA Directive"). They had not been.
Accordingly the appellants said that the Directions were unlawful and should be quashed.
The appellants said that the Directions were a plan or programme within article 2(a) of the SEA Directive. They had been prepared for transport, town and country planning and land use, and so came within the ambit of article 3(2)(a).
The appellants said the Directions:
– set the framework for future development consent of projects;
– operated as a legal constraint on development consent being granted by local planning authorities for various projects;
– set criteria by which that legal constraint could affect decisions on applications for planning permission – that future development is proposed within the safeguarded area and does not fall within the specified categories of exempted development; and
– operated to constrain the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (SSCLG)'s discretion as to whether and how to restrict the grant of planning permission in cases passed on to him, because the requirement for the HS2 land would be a material consideration for him to take into account.
At first instance the Planning Court said that to qualify as a "framework" subject to SEA assessment, the Directions would have to be more than merely persuasive but guiding and telling because they had a stated role in the hierarchy of considerations to be taken into account by decision makers.
Similar previous litigation based on the failure to subject HS2's 2012 Command Paper to SEA assessment failed in the Supreme Court because the 2012 Command Paper did not seek to place any further constraint on Parliament's consideration of the environmental impacts of the project as a whole, under the hybrid Bill procedure. Also the Supreme Court had concluded that to qualify as a policy "framework" that needed prior SEA assessment the item:
"must operate as a constraint on the discretion of the authority charged with making the subsequent decision about development consent". It "must at least limit the range of discretionary factors which can be taken into account in making that decision, or affect the weight to be attached to them".
Here the Directions were a consequence of the decision to promote the HS2 project.
They were foreseen by the 2012 Command Paper and were part of the process by which the HS2 project decision was proposed to be put into effect.
They were not a framework of policy or criteria constraining the discretion of the decision-maker in the making of the decision. It would be the HS2 project itself, as it was at the relevant time, which would inform:
– the response of HS2 Ltd. to consultation; and
– the intervention of the SST in the process, if he did intervene.
and it would not be the Directions that exerted a substantive influence on the decision, but the HS2 project itself.
So the Directions were not a plan or programme which set the framework for development consent, such as themselves to be subject to SEA assessment, but merely the servant of the HS2 Project which would itself have to pass environmental impact assessment ("EIA").
The EIA for the HS2 project is having to comply with the requirements for an assessment prepared under the Annexes I and II to Directive 85/337/EEC and Article 1(4) of the EIA Directive (2011/92/EU).
In that assessment consideration would have to be given to the likely significant effects of the railway on the environment, including the use of the sites for use in its construction, and as to alternatives.
The authorities hosting the construction and operation of the railway, the owners of land affected by the project and also the public would have had the opportunity to participate in that process.
The Court of Appeal upheld the Planning Court's decision that the Directions did not set the framework for development consent for projects, including EIA development projects, within the safeguarded zone, and its reasoning.
The practical effect of the Directions was that if there was an application for planning permission within the safeguarded zone and the local planning authority was not minded to refuse planning permission or to impose conditions, as recommended by HS2 Ltd's advice, it had to notify the SST who could issue a direction restricting the grant of permission in respect of that application.
The planning applicant could then appeal to the SSCLG against the local planning authority restricting the grant of planning permission as directed by the SST, or the local planning authority's failure to decide the planning application due to its disagreement with the restriction on the proposed planning permission directed by the SST.
– the Directions constrained the manner in which the local planning authority may determine a planning application; and
– the three objectives, set out in the Guidance Notes and the Directions themselves, would be weighty planning considerations in any determination by the SSCLG because of the national importance which the Government attaches to the implementation of the HS2 project
they did not place any constraint upon the SSCLG when he determined an appeal under section 78 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990.
The safeguarded zone did not determine the extent of the HS2 project. The safeguarded zone took its shape from the HS2 project. The Directions did not "set the framework for development consent" because Parliament was the decision taker that gave development consent to the project through specific legislation, and not pursuant to any "plan or programme" for the purposes of the SEA Directive, and Parliament was not bound by statements of Government policy.
The Directions could hardly be described as a "plan or programme" in their own right for the purposes of the SEA Directive given:
– the fact the HS2 project was being pursued through a hybrid bill and the lack of any plan or programme for it in the Directions; and
– the fact that sole purpose of the Directions was to ensure that the implementation of that project was not prejudiced by other developments.
This blog has been posted out of general interest. It does not replace the need to get bespoke legal advice in individual cases.

STEP RIGHT UP and FEAST your very eyes on the most
amaaaaazing feats of strength and brilliance ever seen on earth.
Watch with amazement as that dazzling daredevil of derring-do,
Alan Greenspan, plunges his head directly into the jaws of angry Asian tigers...
... GAZE SPELLBOUND as the giant Japanese behemoth gingerly navigates the
treacherous economic tightrope ...
... AND DO NOT DARE TO MISS the MOST amazing, MOST thrilling, MOST heart- stopping performance of the dazzling Dow duo as it bounces to dizzying new heights or plunges within inches of death- defying disaster.
A year to remember, 1998.
A year of exhilaration, calamity, and near collapse. A year for the books, when we all had ringside seats to unprecedented, unanticipated events and the remarkable responses that followed.
In 1998, for example, we learned that, yes Virginia, there is a bear. He is not a mythical creature, and every so often he emerges from the woods of Wall Street to sniff the air, paw the ground, and ravage the occasional mutual-fund portfolio.
Want to see the bear? Peek at the stock market chart on page 12. Observe the red, Dow line between July and mid-October.
Almost 2,000 points to the downside. That. friends, is a bear market.
They usually last longer, but as Ned Riley, chief investment officer at BankBoston notes, "markets are moving in a much more compressed way. Bear markets that used to last four to six months now last four to six weeks."
And now we're right back at the top.
Mr. Riley's comment speaks directly to the underlying dynamic of 1998, and it wouldn't hurt to take notes here because I'm about to employ some highly technical economic theory.
Stuff has changed.
Not the way the weather changes, but the way global warming changes entire weather patterns.
The structure of the US economy seems to have changed dramatically. The year delivered strong growth - more than 3 percent - full employment, negligible inflation, and a big bonus - falling interest rates.
This is new. These things don't usually go together.
And it could either be a bubble ready to burst or a more entrenched consequence of improvements in technology and better ways of doing business.
For example, General Electric - a huge company in a constant state of change - says its profits will barrel ahead, unphased by global turmoil.
Like GE, American business has restructured over the years, but 1998 brought a hard test - notably collapsing foreign financial markets. Many companies emerged barely scratched, but more remarkable was the American economy's ability to - standby for more technical jargon - keep on trucking.
Other experiments in the economic lab did not turn out so well.
Russia, for example, struggled this year to absorb a market economy, a task it handled as deftly as a sword swallower wearing boxing gloves.
Russia defaulted on its debt. Western investors lost billions. Help and hope are in short supply.
Free-market reform also stumbled in beleaguered Asia. Malaysia backed away from free-securities markets. Indonesia imploded. And in Japan, a manipulated market economy eventually turned on its puppet master.
But still the US economy - and its Wall Street proxy - performed like a seasoned trapeze act.
So, a big hand, please, for Alan Greenspan, the Fed chairman whose prowess kept ferocious forces at bay.
He detected the point where uncertainty became panic and moved quickly to restore confidence, firing off a fast series of rate cuts. He calmed the beast.
A world-class act. A world-class year.
For 1999, encore! Hurr-ay, hurr-ay, hurr-ay. Step right up, folks.

(It doesn't look like Dr. Leon Pielstick has put on the sterile sleeve yet in the photo above.)
Below we've posted: 1) the comment Don Moore, DVM to BLM on their barbaric plan to sterilize wild mares. 2) the response to this from two National Wild Horse & Burro Advisory Board members – Sue McDonnell (NOT a vet) and Julie Weikel, DVM. 3) Dr, Don Moore's response to their response.
Here is a copy of Dr. Don Moore's original comment to the BLM regarding wild mare sterilization experimentation:
Attention Project Lead:
BLM stated it was "investing in a diverse portfolio of research projects to develop new, modern technologies and methods for wild horse and burro management". BLM is looking to improve existing population growth suppression methods or develop new methods according to the environmental assessment. However, BLM does not need to investigate the safety and efficacy of three separate methods of surgical sterilization of wild horse mares. These three methods have been performed on domestic mares and discounted as a last and least preferred method to manage hormonal issues.
The three surgical procedures for permanent sterilization of mares described in the mare sterilization research project, ovariectomy via colopotomy, tubal ligation and hysteroscopically-guided laser ablation of the oviduct papilla all require certain pre-operative and post-operative considerations for aseptic surgical protocol and pain management. Pre-operative bloodwork and a thorough examination are always performed on the relatively few domestic mares which are spayed. Other options other than surgery are always considered first due to the risk involved with any of these procedures. Aseptic surgical protocol and pain management is the standard of care for each and every surgery or the performing veterinarian would undoubtedly be sued by the owner and reprimanded by the state veterinary board.
Wild mares will not have their surgeries performed in a sterile surgical suite. Their surgery will be performed in a non-sterile chute or standing in stocks at the local BLM facility without benefit of routine standard of care. Unlike domestic mares who are easily handled, the very handling of these wild mares presents additional pre-operative stressors, which cannot be mitigated.
BLM does not possess the statutory authority to treat America's wild free roaming mares as research test subjects to perform surgeries which are not the standard of care for domestic mares.
Case in point, is a photograph of Dr. Leon Pielstick as he was beginning to perform a surgery attired in bibs used predominately for working cattle and performing the surgery with a non-sterile plastic sleeve that is used to pregnancy check cattle. This is not acceptable for a domestic mare, why wild mares? To learn this procedures has been performed on some of the Sheldon wild mares, undoubtedly in a similar manner, is gross negligence and inhumane on the part of the Department of Interior and the veterinarians who performed the surgery in less than aseptic conditions.
This type of trial and error butchery is a violation of the least feasible management clause of the Wild Free Roaming Horses and Burros Act.
In private practice, colopotomy is considered an inferior procedure with likelihood of post-surgical infections and complications (i.e., colic) especially during these unsterile conditions. Post-operative care usually lasts several days to often weeks and mares are monitored and in most cases are monitored in box stalls or cross ties, which cannot be accomplished with wild mares. Post- operative bleeding is a situation which cannot be easily remedied even in domestic mares.
Standard of care for tubal ligation and/or ovariectomy is performed under aseptic conditions with a laparoscope and pain mitigation along with private confinement and treatment which can last days to weeks. Complications can also be colic, infection and pain mitigation is required.
Hysteroscopically guided laser ablation is not a preferred method by board certified equine surgeons because it is considered experimental even under the best of conditions. Field veterinarians and veterinary students are woefully inadequate to perform any of these surgeries, which in my opinion should only be done by board certified equine surgeons in appropriate surgical suites and with post- operative care performed by educated and expert staff in an equine veterinary hospital setting.
In recent conversations with Littleton Equine Medical Center veterinarians Scott Toppin, DVM, DABVP and Kelly Tisher DVM the following comments were made to me.
Dr. Toppin stated he had serious concerns about the dangerous and inhumane conditions under which these surgeries would be performed. He also stated concerns about the sterility of the procedure and pre and post-operative pain control.
Dr. Tisher shared that their practice equine surgeon, Dustin V. Devine DVM, MS DACVS, performs approximately six to twelve of these surgeries with a laparoscope annually. Littleton Equine is the leading equine veterinary private practice in Colorado.
Mass experimental surgeries performed under these conditions outlined in the proposal, amounts to negligence and abuse. I believe experiments such as this proposal are unethical, inhumane and unwarranted. Any veterinarian(s) who would perform these experiments is in violation of the oath taken as a graduating veterinarian, "above all else, do no harm". If a veterinarian in private practice performed these procedures in the manner described in this document they would most certainly be reported to and disciplined by the regulatory board of that state. Discipline would likely mean suspension of that veterinarian's license to practice in that state.
All horses should be judged the same when it concerns care. Elective, unethical treatment should not be performed on either domestic horses or wild horses. BLM gives the impression that all wild horse areas are overpopulated, when in fact, most wild horse areas do not have a genetically sustainable population without intervention. This is due to over manipulation of herds to promote adoption, decreasing original herd use areas and allowing livestock to over graze our public lands. Once again, BLM is exceeding the statutory authority granted by Congress in the management of our wild horses.
Since the inception of the WHBA, BLM has practiced a management for extinction policy. It is ever so clear in the "experimental research policy" BLM is now proposing.

BLM and Fish & Wildlife Service Experimenting on Wild Horses

Thank you for the link. That is very helpful. I trust that you want the information you circulate to be accurate, so I will share what I know.
I work with people who do this procedure in a world class equine vet hospital where I work, the University of Pennsylvania New Bolton Center. I have had ovariectomy via colpotomy done on my own research and clinical mares, and i find it a relatively non invasive procedure for ovariectomy. I should explain a couple things that you may understandably misunderstand about the procedure.
You mention the rectal palpation sleeve and implicate it as unsatisfactory because it is used also with cattle. The photo shows what to me looks like a sterile glove over the palpation sleeve. That is how it is done for ovariectomy via colpotomy on a farm or in a clinic or at a vet school hospital for horses. Using the clean (or sterile, Probably can't tell for sure by photo alone) sleeve and sterile glove, all surfaces (typically only the sterile glove) that contact internal abdomen of the patient that should be kept free of "germs" are sterile. The sleeve is used as additional coverage that is very clean if not sterile as added protection. The bibs are not relevant, really, and they could be very clean, but it doesn't matter much since they don't touch the internal abdomen of the patient.
I will copy the veterinarians on the board, Dr. Cope and Dr. Weikel, to comment if they have time and can add to my comments. Believe it or not, out in the open air can in many cases can be a "cleaner" environment in terms of infection for colpotomy than inside a hospital, where germs and resistant strains tend to accumulate. If the outdoor area is dusty there would be concerns. Veterinarians are usually doing their best to protect the animal patient. I am not a vet, but have worked professionally with veterinarians in a vet school for over 35 years, and have found very few veterinarians who don't try their best in this regard. I hear Dr. Moore's concerns, and have not worked with Dr. Pielstick myself, but trust he is doing his best, which looks from your photos to be as good as here at a world class vet hospital or at other fine vet clinics.
I hope this is helpful. Please let me know what you think.

Thank you Dr. McDonnell for a very thorough coverage of (name redacted) concerns. I concur with all the points you make and add that dust management is routinely addressed during these procedures. I would also add that long term pain management and long term antibiotics are also routine for this procedure.
Certainly any handling of wild horses is stressful for them. However, the goal with these procedures is to achieve population stabilization so that further gathers are greatly reduced and bands can be left undisturbed, thus reducing total lifetime stressful events.
Julie Weikel DVM
And Dr. Don Moore's response to these comments by Sue McDonnell and Julie Weikel :
The University of Pennsylvania New Bolton Center is no doubt a fine surgery facility. I am also certain that surgeons at the New Bolton Center operate in surgical suites that are properly vented and sterilized, and for Dr. McDonnell to suggest anything less is to insult the very facility she is works for.
It has been my experience at Colorado State University that surgeons as well as veterinary student observers in the suite, were routinely in sterile, long sleeved surgical gowns and gloves. They also wear surgical masks and caps. This is the same protocol used by the excellent private practice facility I spoke with when researching these procedures. Standard of care dictates this diligent surgical preparation of the patient and surgical suite.
To suggest a "clean" sleeve is acceptable for abdominal surgery is ridiculous. Aseptic conditions are the required standard of care for any abdominal surgery and the equine patient is more susceptible to peritonitis than any other species that veterinarians deal with. To suggest an outdoor "facility" used by BLM could be a better choice than any properly equipped surgical suite is ludicrous. Academia and research facilities are no longer exempt from good standard of care.
Again, for BLM and the Advisory Board to propose this type of mass experimental surgery under the conditions outlined in the proposal, amounts to negligence and abuse.
To accept this mass butchery by BLM under the guise of research is inconceivable in a civilized society and to apologize for it suggests a complete misunderstanding of the ethics we as veterinarians pledge to adhere to.
For BLM to promote that there is over population of wild horses on public lands is without merit. Most wild horse areas are managed at levels below what is needed for self-sustaining, genetically viable numbers. Many wild horse areas, such as the Little Bookcliffs (which has long utilized PZP), still need to have additional animals introduced to avoid inbreeding. The Advisory Board would best focus research efforts to change the current BLM management practice of managing wild horses in significantly smaller subsets of original herd use areas that cannot physically allow for genetically viable, self-sustaining herds. The next focus should be proper management of the domestic species that are causing range degradation.
Donald E. Moore, D.V.M.

Showtime's Penny Dreadful Fresh Hell TV Show Review. Penny Dreadful: Season 2, Episode 1: Fresh Hell featured the moment that fans of Season 1 had been waiting to witness. Brona Croft (Billie Piper)'s resurrection was one of the highlights of the episode and was rightly held back until its latter moments. Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) and The Creature (Rory Kinnear) working together for a singular, rain-drenched goal must have been surreal for the both of them, upon reflection. During those crucial moments, their animosity towards each other was the farthest thing from their minds.
When 'The Second Creature' stood tall, looking down on them, they were naked in front of her, not vice-versa. Their emotions and wonderment were laid bear on their faces as she shivered in perplexment.
The new antagonists, the witches, had a dramatic entrance into the Penny Dreadful universe. Their transformation power was formidable, especially since they, somehow, are fully clothed when transforming back to human beings. Whom their leader turned out to be was the real surprise. Evelyn Poole (Helen McCrory) must have been instantly attracted to Vanessa Ives (Eva Green) after the séance in Episode 2 of Season 1. That power attracted "The Master" and it has certainly attracted Lucifer's devotees.
The Creature saying that it and Dr. Victor Frankenstein were linked made no sense ("What would Frankenstein be without his creature"), especially since: a.) no one knew of The Creature's link to Dr. Frankenstein, and b.) no one knew The Creature was a resurrected being. There was no notoriety to their bond and no fame. Dr. Frankenstein never published his work or his discoveries. Because of these facts, The Creature's pronouncement had no foundation. It was the pronouncement of someone that had read Mary Shelley's seminal work and knew how famous that work of literature was (and what it had inspired).
The new elements in the Wolfman storyline, the police detective and the prospect of a survivor of The Wolf's latest berserker blackout, were welcome additions. The Wolfman plot was thin last season because Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett)'s "condition" was a secret until Episode 8. Now that that secret is out, Penny Dreadful's writers are free to bolster it in any number of ways. I hope we get background on The Wolf's early eruptions and possibly Ethan learning to remember the incidents. Controlling The Wolf à la The Hulk probably won't happen until Season 3 or Season 4.
Sir Malcolm Murray (Timothy Dalton)'s wife, Gladys Murray (Noni Stapleton), is no fool but her blame was ill-placed. From what was said between them during their brief scene together, it can be surmised that Sir Murray told her, in full detail, of the final encounter he had with the creature inhabiting his late daughter's body. Ms. Murray did not seem to care if she got back a vampire daughter, one that had to reside in a steel cage twenty-four hours a day. At least she would have had one remnant of a child felt. Sir Murray took that from her and with it what remained of any amicable feelings between them.
The Lavinia Putney (Tamsin Topolski) storyline is going to bear a gaggle of fruit if handled properly and from its outset, it has been. Lavinia can't see The Creature, its pale skin, or its head scar (though she touched both). With her, The Creature aka John Claire, has a clean visual slate. There was no initial repulsion or fear to retard their relationship. I see a love triangle brewing: Lavinia growing fond of John Claire and The Creature wanting Brona Croft to grow fond of it. Lavinia will one day die. Brona Croft is immortal. If The Creature thinks with its head and not its emotions, it will choose Brona Croft (if she will have it), if it keeps in mind the saying: "The hard fought victory is better savored." When it comes to Croft, however, the battle may be an impossible one to win (especially if Croft regains her memory…and remembers her feelings for Ethan Chandler).

Cook County Board President Todd Stroger, who faces re-election next year, announced today he wants to scale back the major county sales tax increase he pushed through last year by a quarter of a percentage point--but can't explain how he would replace lost revenue through federal stimulus money, Clout Street reports.
Stroger wants to decrease the county's sales tax rate from 1.75 percent to 1.5 percent. At a news conference, Stroger said federal stimulus package dollars would make it possible.
Pressed to explain how exactly stimulus dollars would replace sales tax revenue, Stroger replied that he had "no hard numbers" because the county continues discussions with federal officials.

It has long been a Commission goal to make all Opinions — from 1980 to the present — freely available online so that we can provide the most comprehensive research resource for all Opinions issued by our Commission's appellate body, the Compensation Review Board.
Beginning in December 2014, we began posting "older" CRB Opinions (those issued before October 1, 1994), and we plan to work our way backwards until we have posted all CRB Opinions issued from the creation of the Compensation Review Board in 1980. Please be aware, though, that the body of material pre-dating October 1, 1994 is not yet complete...we thank you for your patience as we work toward completing this project, and hope that as we post these "older" CRB Opinions on our site, you will find them useful in your research.

This month I am changing tack and am excited to share what in my opinion is one of the greatest work from home money making opportunities I have found. It is called Ipas2 and is the brainchild of Chris Jones and partner. If I had to give it a name then I would call it a franchise but don't let that put you off .
The Internet Prospect Acceleration System was born and conceptualized out of sheer lack and pure luxury – the 'all-in-one' necessity was never able…UNTIL NOW. iPAS 2 comes with an incredible 100% risk free opportunity to test-drive the system all for yourself. I Have been involved in internet marketing for several years now years now and consider myself scam proof after investigating so many get rich quick schemes and gave this a thorough once over before compiling this report.
Ok So what happens first. All you have to do is visit the splash page and leave your email address and the rest is straight forward, pretty routine stuff, nothing to lose, no commitment just leave your contact email address as you can see HERE. You are then directed to the main sales page and again, no commitment, just watch the video which seems endless but stay with it.
Unfortunately you have to endure a none stop sales pitch or death by video as it has become nowadays but stick with it till the end, it's worth it because what they have to say is enough to keep your attention, The subsequent support tools are very good and the website is well set out to help you to maximise this opportunity
Te basic cost to get started is $47 dollars but as you watch the videos and the support available then this doesn't seem too bad a deal. If you want to go for the PRO package with extra rewards and training aids the you will need to invest a $97.
After the pro (or bronze level) there are, silver and gold packages based on a sliding scale of cost against sales tools leading up to what they call the black CARD membership which is promoted constantly as the target for all members who really want to be seriously wealthy but don't be in any hurry to upgrade until you know what you are doing and more importantly what you are getting. The whole business is based on you getting as much traffic as you can into your sales funnel in the hope that a percentage of those who look at the opportunity and sign up for the $47 basic package will give you a commission of $20 for every sign up and a higher commission for every upgrade they make thru the various levels. The Support thru the training pages I found to be very good and easy to follow.
Like MANY other schemes of this kind you will hear about the traffic funnel which is the clue to the whole thing. You are given lots of good advice on traffic generation (with examples) into your sales funnel by using your own website or blog, Craigslist, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Pinterest to name just a few. • A truly engaging, professional sales position without long hours or extensive travel • Flexible schedule, right from your home • In this position, you'll be assigned a personal concierge/mentor to help you convert leads to high ticket sales in which YOU earn generous 70% commissions. • No-cap commission structure – our success is your success! • A proven product with many reference accounts and happy customers. • Ongoing marketing training and support • An organization that you'll be proud to be a part of!
Go with the basic package and absorb all the training which is very good and very convincing as are the countless reviews by existing members who are making a lot of money. If you can afford any of the packages, are willing to absorb all the training and do everything you Are told to do and be disciplined every single day to commit to getting sign ups then good money can indeed be made from this opportunity. If you are ready to watch the main opportunity sales video then you can see for yourself HERE If this short article has been of value or if you would like to share your experience of IPAS2 then please leave a comment. This may be a useful addition to your traffic building, at the time of writing, click HERE for alink to traffic hoopla which gives up to date information on the top 10 performing traffic exchanges, just click on each of them and open a free account,

Part of the joy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is just watching the continuous build and strengthening of the continuity. Even the most solo of the solo adventures tend to advance previously established elements of the franchise, and after 10 years it's amazing to see how much has changed as a result. Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is no exception to this -- and while you could go into the film really knowing nothing about the comic book movie world beyond it, there are also certain things that are good to know. It's in this department that we have your back today.
Having screened Black Panther a couple weeks ago, I've since taken a look back at the Marvel Cinematic Universe and identified all of the info any audience member would need to fully understand everything going on in the movie. I've broken it all down into sections that you'll find below and across the next few pages, so read on and learn everything you need to remember before the film hits theaters this Friday.
T'Challa a.k.a. Black Panther
Marvel Studios has traditionally introduced its biggest heroes through their own individual solo films, but the franchise took a different strategy with T'Challa a.k.a. Black Panther (played by Chadwick Boseman). Prior to the upcoming Ryan Coogler movie, the character made his big screen debut in Joe and Anthony Russo's Captain America: Civil War -- teaming with Iron Man to end The First Avenger's campaign against the Sokovia Accords. Much like what Spider-Man: Homecoming did for Spider-Man, Black Panther will be all about fleshing out the individual protagonist's home, but as-is audiences already know quite a bit about this legendary hero from his previous appearance.
T'Challa is first introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as not only the prince of Wakanda, a mysterious African nation best known for shutting itself off from the world, but also its greatest warrior and protector. Wearing a suit made woven with Vibranium thread -- the same indestructible metal that was used for Captain America's shield -- he is his nation's first line of defense in times of conflict. As his father's eldest child, he is also heir to the Wakandan throne which is something that very much comes into play during the character's first big screen arc and fuels his passionate quest for revenge...

With the Washington Redskins on their bye weekend, cornerback Josh Wilson watched portions of the Dallas Cowboys' game last Sunday against the Denver Broncos. It was a horror show of sorts for a defensive back, especially with both teams on the Redskins' upcoming schedule, as the Broncos beat the Cowboys, 51-48.
"I saw the second half of the game and I saw a lot of points, a lot of passing from both teams," Wilson said Wednesday at Redskins Park. "We've got both of those guys on the schedule and that seems like a long day at the office."
The Redskins play at Dallas on Sunday night with Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo coming off a 506-yard, five-touchdown passing performance against the Broncos.
"I'm glad it's not just us," Redskins nose tackle Barry Cofield said. "It's hard to play defense in this league nowadays. There's a lot of points being scored, a lot of yardage. And the rules are tougher than ever, combined with the schemes being more advanced than ever. It's just hard to get stops, especially against a talented offense.
"We're gonna have our plan. We're gonna go out there and try to execute. We're gonna try and make them one-dimensional. But if the one dimension can throw for 500 [yards] and five touchdowns, it's not really ideal. So it's tough. It's tough. We've got to force turnovers throughout the game. We've got to make big plays when they arise. We're gonna count on our offense to be the offense that we know they can be. And they're gonna score some points and that's gonna help us get in a situation where they can be one-dimensional and we can really rush the quarterback."
Romo was sacked four times against the Broncos but also repeatedly evaded Denver's pass rushers on improvisational plays that led to completions.
"A lot of quarterbacks want to get rid of the ball," Cofield said. "They want to get that pressure off of them. They throw it out of bounds, they feel like they've done their job. His willingness to extend plays, his ability to make those throws from any type of body position and his trust he has in his receivers make him a tough test."
Said Wilson: "It makes our job incredibly hard. Any time you play a mobile quarterback, it's difficult. You don't per se see him as a read-option quarterback. But he knows how to get away from the pressure, kind of move and buy himself time. And Dez [Bryant] and all their receivers know how to do these scramble routes and get open, as you saw last week with him and Dez on the Broncos on that deep ball. It's a simple play that went bad as the time went on."
Wilson said the members of the Redskins' secondary will have to be mindful of Romo's ability to make something seemingly out of nothing.
"It makes you stay alert for longer," Wilson said. "You can't ever decelerate. You can't ever let these guys lull you to sleep. Dez will sit there and slow down, and you can't let your coverage stop even when you think the play might be over."
Cofield said the Redskins' pass rushers also must adjust.
"You have to be willing to rush for four, five, six seconds," Cofield said. "Normally the ball is out of the quarterback's hands in two or three seconds. But he's willing to extend the play. So you have to be willing to extend the play. You have to rotate. Guys are going to get tired chasing him around for 50, 60 snaps. You've just got to trust the guy behind you. You've got to trust that your backup will come in and do the job."
Have a Redskins question? E-mail Mike Jones at email@example.com with the subject line "Mailbag question" for him to answer it in The Mailbag on Tuesday.

King Salmon Gravel Pit Survey
Conducted for Bristol Bay Native Corporation
We were asked to conduct an aerial survey of two gravel pits in King Salmon, Alaska for Bristol Bay Native Corporation. They have sub-surface mineral rights and are interested in measuring how much material is taken for jobs, as well as the remediation of the gravel pit slopes.
Ground Survey History
Traditionally, this work is done with ground surveys. Speaking with the team, those surveys would generally take over 5 hours to conduct on foot taking manual measurements. These measurements would also take quite a bit leg work since the slopes in this gravel pit are over 30 feet high and too steep to easily traverse.
Furthermore, the ground stockpiles seen in the center of the pit require more individual attention and effort, whereas with our aerial method they are included in our simple fly-over.
Conducting Our Aerial Survey
Aerial Survey ResulT
Below is the 3D model we generated from one of our two data gathering flights over the South Pit, which you can explore using your mouse. The embedded file below is an OBJ file and can be viewed with any web browser. However, we can also export as 3D PDF and LAS point cloud data which may be used with traditional GIS platforms.
We can also create ortho-rectified imagery, digital surface models, and contour maps.
Hit the 'play' button below to load the model, walk through the annotations, and explore the model.
Example measurement: Gravel Stockpile
We selected the stockpile shown at top-right as our example measurement. After defining the outline of the pile we measure up from the ground plane. This method creates the digitized pile shown at bottom-right. Finally, our software crunches the total volume measurement. For this stockpile, we have measured the volume to be 48,561 cubic feet of material.
Once the model is built, simple measurements such as these can be done in minutes. More complex measurements may take longer, but can still often be completed same day.
Our client at the BBNC was very pleased with our flight and how much faster the survey was completed. As you can see in the interactive model above, we have good resolution that lets us measure the stockpiles, the gravel pit slopes, and more to sub-foot resolution and accuracy.
We don't have to set foot on every piece of ground in order to get an accurate, repeatable measure of it. Give us a call to find out how we can help you measure and quantify your remote assets.

In it two blokes of different ages will be looking at comics old & new as well as comic related media,(games, TV, movies etc.) and any other comic related goodness that thay can think of. What makes this different is A) it's British and B) it's two blokes of wildly varying ages. Andrew P Leyland has been reading comics since before he could actually read and thinks writing for the trade is the work of the Devil and that they are comics, not graphic novels. Micheal P Leyland is Andrew's spawn, 23 years his Jnr, and thinks that Geoff Johns is the best writer ever! Needless to say they don't always see I 2 I on what makes fun comics. Fun will be had by all.

Steven Spielberg, the most successful moviemaker in history, is explaining to a group of puzzled critics why he has decided to return to television Sept. 29 with a half-hour series called Amazing Stories.
``I`ve been so tempted to go back to television over the years, and I thought, `I can`t go back now - people will think it`s a surrender,` `` says Spielberg, who has hired major filmmakers such as Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese and Burt Reynolds for the series.
``But I had a lot of fun in television - (it) gave me my start in `69 or `70. And I`m a child of television. I wanted to bring back the series I used to love - which are the half-hour and hour anthologies. Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Thriller, Science Fiction Theater, I watched them all.
``For me to do an episode in a week, and see it the following week - that`s really a thrill, `cause it takes forever to make a movie. I remember when we were doing Jaws off Martha`s Vineyard. It took seven months, and I started to lose interest in the shark and water after three months.``
Spielberg, 37, produced this summer`s blockbuster, Back to the Future, and directed not only Jaws but also E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark and its sequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The last four are among the dozen or so most profitable motion pictures ever made. Spielberg needs a television job like he needs unemployment compensation.
However, during his recent press conference - televised by satellite to 14 cities where critics questioned him by phone - Spielberg said repeatedly that TV offers two things that movies do not: The first is a huge audience and the second is a forum for telling short stories on a variety of themes. NBC has such confidence it has given him what he requested: an unprecedented two-year, 44-episode commitment.

He came out clearly ahead in round one of the primaries last Sunday, winning 39 per cent of the vote compared to his rival Martine Aubry, on 30 per cent.
On Friday a poll suggested he would win 47 per cent of the vote on Sunday in the final run-off against Miss Aubry, predicted to win 41 per cent.
On top of that, all four of last Sunday's runners up in the primary first round have swung behind Mr Hollande, the latest backer being "de-globalisation" campaigner Arnaud Montebourg, who came third in round one with 17 per cent.
But if there is one thing the French notoriously dislike, it is a foregone conclusion and being told what to do.
They already created one surprise last Sunday by confounding polls to vote in such numbers for Mr Montebourg, who preaches levying social and environmental taxes on imports to protect French jobs, nationalising banks and taxing financial transactions.
Predicted to finish third, Miss Royal, meanwhile, crashed out in tears with a shock seven per cent.
Playing to that Gallic sense of rebellion, Jean-François Copé, head of Mr Sarkozy's UMP party, on Friday declared Mr Hollande "should win by arithmetic knockout" on Sunday. By most accounts, the Right would prefer to face Miss Aubry, architect of the 35-hour week, and thus easier to pillory as an old school left-winger. By predicting the more consensual Hollande's victory, Copé was almost willing the French to prove him wrong.
Miss Aubry did the same when she called her rival the "candidate of the system", preordained by polls.
On top of that is the fact that the Socialist primaries are, as one political analyst put it, "an electoral UFO". It is very hard to predict who will turn up to vote, given the primaries are open to anyone ready to pay a euro and claim Left-wing sympathies.
So surprises could be in store.
But the Socialists and their electorate know the stakes are high. While they have wiped the floor in local elections, they have failed to win the French presidency since 1988 with François Mitterrand, who left office more than 15 years ago.
In 2002, the Socialist candidate Lionel Jospin crashed out humiliatingly in the first round to the far-Right National Front leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, handing the election to Jacques Chirac.
Today, the Left knows it has a plum opportunity given Mr Sarkozy's deep unpopularity and polls suggesting either Socialist finalist would beat him in elections next April and May.
Most concede that Mr Hollande has the wider appeal to reach out to the key centrist electorate.
But the Socialists need to pick a clear winner on Sunday to provide him or her with a solid springboard for the presidentials. The soufflé could deflate if the vote is a fudge. As the left-wing NouvelObs website put it: "The panic-stricken fear of 51-49 continues to haunt Socialist minds." The Right, divided over the issue of primaries, is already sharpening the knives against their future opponent.
Mr Copé on Friday blasted the two candidates' common points: "Massive tax rises, taking on tens of thousands of civil servants, state intervention in businesses." In a sense, picking a winner is the easy part of the Socialist primaries.
The hard part will be keeping the notoriously divided party together after the vote to take on a Right itching for a fight.
Given the increasingly acrimonious sniping between the two camps – the Hollande team on Friday likened Miss Aubry's rhetoric to the far-Right – that is no foregone conclusion.

As Americans reassess what's important in their lives, they can follow President Bush's advice and seek out opportunities for volunteering. Already, millions of citizens have responded. With adequate training, many volunteers can take over some duties of police, fire, and public-health employees who have taken on added security work.
The Corporation for National and Community Service (which oversees AmeriCorps and Senior Corps) will implement President Bush's request for 10,000 volunteers in local communities. More may well be needed. Sens. John McCain (R) of Arizona and Evan Bayh (D) of Indiana have introduced sensible legislation to increase the size of AmeriCorps and Senior Corps to some 250,000 by the year 2010; about 100,000 of those individuals would be involved in meeting homeland security needs.
Volunteers already are doing much to lessen fear, strengthen communities, maintain vigilance, and boost morale. More citizens participating in that effort in these less-than-certain times would be welcome.

The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bill, 2017, under which the IIMs would be declared as Institutions of National Importance which will enable them to grant degrees to their students.
The Bill also provides for complete autonomy to the institutions, combined with adequate accountability.

Management of these institutions would be Board driven, with the chairperson and director of an institution who will be selected by the Board, an official statement said.
A greater participation of experts and alumni in the Board is amongst other important features of the Bill. Provision has also been made for inclusion of women and members from Scheduled Castes/Tribes in the Board.
The Bill also provides for periodic review of the performance of institutions by independent agencies and placing the results of the same in public domain.

IN its first override of a veto by President Bush, Congress pushed through legislation Oct. 5 to regulate some cable television rates and increase competition in the industry.
It may take a few years before this law's full impact on consumers becomes clear, says Stuart Brotman, a senior fellow at the Annenberg Washington Program in Communications Policy Studies. The details of the legislation must be clarified by the Federal Communications Commission, and the strength of FCC enforcement will depend on who wins the November election, notes Mr. Brotman, a professor at Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
Several provisions may face legal challenges, he adds. Those include a measure allowing broadcasters to seek fees from cable operators for the right to retransmit programming. Cable companies may also challenge a requirement that they be willing to sell self-produced programming to competing systems such as direct-broadcasting satellite and microwave.
The law will regulate a basic tier of cable programming and allow consumers to challenge rates on a second tier. Consumer advocates expect this will reduce rates, since most markets are now virtual monopolies.
The law does not regulate rates in pay-per-view or other premium services. Here Congress hopes that fresh competition will give consumers fair prices. "The real, ultimate competitors [to cable] will be the telephone companies," which have recently won the right to deliver a "video dialtone" to homes, Brotman says.
On Oct. 5, New York Telephone announced it would be the first phone company to enter this field, beginning a trial in January with 2,000 Manhattan customers.

Oh, here is some news sure to shock you: the Girl Scouts, like pretty much every secular civic organization in the country, are struggling to stay relevant! They're offering 100-calorie cookies and new ads aimed at appealing to girls' senses of "individuality." They've hired their first Chief Marketing Officer to study why the group's rolls persist to so steadily decline, and...well...basically they all seem to be dancing around the word 'blowjobs.' "The group discovered its main competition for members wasn't the sports teams or church groups it suspected, but rather what it calls 'nonactivities,'" the story explains. (Cough.) Explains Girl Scouts chief executive Kathy Cloninger: "Girls start hanging out at the mall, spending time online or just being with their friends, and basically become 'nonjoiners' — that's [what] we were losing the most girls to." Sigh. I hate to tell you this, Kath, but the battle has been lost.
So like, this site. Do you sometimes feel like it's the only place you can have a frank discussion about...well, basically anything...with numerous other females at the same time? Because I sort of do. It's cliche to point out, but most females' approach to dealing with large packs of other females is to 1. avoid and 2. adopt the "bar bathroom line" approach, whereby everyone sort of drunkenly love bombs one another with support and compliments while they wait for their really drunk friend to finish puking and in the meantime, check on their makeup. Maybe the bar bathroom line is the only place girls are forced to confront their shared agenda, which is to 1. find someone to go home with and 2. avoid the gross spectacle of all those girls trying to find someone to go home with. Yeah yeah yeah, okay, I am exaggerating. A lot. But not, I dunno. I feel this way most of the time I spend participating in collective girl-swarm activities such as shopping, or going to loud bars, or whatever else women do together. (Exercise classes? Yeah, no. But the point holds.) Anyway, so like: I can't help sometimes that I had spent more time camping and selling cookies that I had adamantly not baked at home in the company of other females as a youth because now my idea of a good time is generally drinking and I would in no way ever want to bring a daughter into this world kthanxbai.

We go joyriding in the Google Maps-killer's ROBO-CAR
Set the LIDAR to stun, Scotty
Posted in Software, 18th November 2013 08:04 GMT
Nokia's HERE wants to leapfrog Google's Street View with an ambitious street scanning based on 3D and "big data".
While Google enjoyed a monopoly on street level images for years, having a first move advantage isn't always a blessing. The latest technology allows for much richer and more interactive maps. HERE is deploying hundreds of cars with the new tech.
Surprisingly, and in contrast to the secretive data slurper Google, Nokia wants people to see it and to show off its "Street Level" technology. We took a tootle around Paddington in one of them.
Nokia isn't exactly trying to camouflage its HERE car.
Nokia acquired EarthMine a year ago and the new street scanner has been built around it. The imaging unit consists of four 16.8MP cameras, for 68MP images.
There's also a Lidar unit, with a 2cm accuracy, creating a 3D scatter plot as the car tools around.
Here's the car at rest, with the imaging rig retracted:
The Lidar Unit. Don't worry! There isn't really a man trapped inside. It's just a reflection of a HERE employee.
You don't see an erection like this every day
The car performs optical character recognition on street signs and these are fed back to the map. The idea is to create a 3D digital representation of the city.
Because it's doing much more than taking photos, the system records 140GB of data a day.
HERE says it's only recording the GPS locations of open Wi-Fi hotspots, mindful of the furore in several countries after Google slurped up passwords and web pages that users were browsing. The UK recently ordered Google to destroy the data it had collected, while in the US, Google received a fine (albeit a puny $7m one).
HERE is also working on technology for semi-automated or automated driving. Here's the custom app the drivers uses – to check all four cameras are working.
HERE reckons a significant advantage comes from being a pure mapping outfit, rather than as a filler for a bigger advertising platform, as at Google. It employs 1,200 geographic analysts. It makes 2.7 million changes a day to the map, so it's able to see real-time patterns. And it doesn't need to know who you are, because it's not trying to sell you anything - so the data is anonymous.
The 3D Street Level images should start to show up in HERE maps next year. ®

There has been quite a lot of interest in the tribal grouping which the Romans referred to as the Durotriges – most notably, recently, among the Bournemouth University archaeologists who have been uncovering the Iron Age 'town' at Winterborne Kingston, on the Icknield Way, and which they've nicknamed 'Duropolis'. This has proved to be one of the largest such settlements yet found in Britain, an 'open settlement' rather than an occupied hillfort.
Others have been examining the Durotrigan coin finds. I have 'refined' a map in Costen's Origins of Somerset which suggests that they made their way further west than Dorset, most probably to the Severn estuary coast.
I suppose the coin locations could just indicate trading activity, but it seems unlikely that any other tribe (e.g. the Belgae) would have occupied the western Levels, squeezing between the Dobunni and the Durotriges (while leaving little or no evidence of their presence). But somebody was there because the Iron Age relics are abundant.
So Ptolemy, writing c. 150AD, was indeed a little adrift when he grouped Iscalis, Bath and Winchester together as towns of the Belgae. Bath was almostly certainly a Dobunnic town, Winchester was definitely in the territory of the Belgae. Which leaves the mysterious Iscalis – certainly not a settlement of the Belgae; just possibly of the Dobunni, if it was Charterhouse on Mendip or near the course of the old River Axe.
However, if the Durotriges were the grouping which reached the Severn estuary, it's strange that Ptolemy gave them only one town: Dunium (presumed to be Hod Hill). They would surely have had a town somewhere further west than east Dorset (Ilchester is presumed by those who know better than me/I to have gained its importance at a later date).
But, in the way that it does, the internet seems to have spread the word – before me – that Bawdrip, in Somerset, was a possible location. There was a single common source for all these references because they place Bawdrip on the River Axe.
It isn't now and wasn't then: it's close to a now silted up meander in the River Parrett, some 10 miles south of the Axe – and in the area singled out as one of the most heavily Romanised areas of Somerset. If Iscalis wasn't actually Burnham-on-Sea and wasn't actually Bawdrip, it could well have been somewhere near this Romanised, watery place. Iscalis by name and Iscalis by nature.

Benny Hinn Asks Sheep for 2.5 Million Dollars
Benny Hinn Asks Followers for $2.5 Million to Get Out of Debt
Christian Post
Televangelist Benny Hinn has asked supporters of his ministry for $2.5 million in donations, which he says an anonymous donor will match dollar by dollar to help him get out of debt.
"God wants your ministry to be completely out of debt, and I want to plant an anointed seed that will help you take a giant step toward becoming totally debt-free!" says the anonymous man, whom Hinn calls a "long-time and beloved" friend.
"God has laid it on my heart to plant a seed of $2.5 million into your ministry, but God only wants me to make this gift if the ministry partners match the amount within 90 days! I feel so strongly that He wants them to be part of the supernatural wealth transfer that is coming to every believer who will obey God's Word," the man reportedly adds.

I would ask this question first – why is Benny's ministry 2.5 milliom in debt to begin with? Doesn't he practice sound biblical principles when it comes to having and using money? Next who is this "mystery donor"? If he suckers his followers into paying him 2.5 million and he gets another 2.5 that's 5 million bucks. That's a lot of money! Next question: why is anyone supporting this circus clown to begin with? His doctrine is so bizarre and he has had numerous "prophecies" that failed to come true! He cannot be a true prophet of God. I understand he wishes he had a "Holy Ghost" machine gun to kill his critics? You have to be brain dead to follow this idiot!

Here's what the distributor says about their film: "A woman (Swinton) tries to extort money, using a young boy as bait.
Julia, 40, is an alcoholic. She is a manipulative, unreliable, compulsive liar, all strung out beneath her still flamboyant exterior. Between shots of vodka and one-night stands, Julia gets by on nickel-and-dime jobs. Increasingly lonely, the only consideration she receives comes from her friend Mitch, who tries to help her. But she shrugs him off, as her alcohol-induced confusion daily reinforces her sense that life has dealt her a losing hand and that she is not to blame for the mess she has made of it.
Glimpsing imminent perdition, and after a chance encounter with Elena, a Mexican woman, Julia convinces herself—as much in panic and despair as for financial gain—to commit a violent act.
As the story unfolds, Julia's journey becomes a headlong flight on a collision course, but somehow she makes the choice of life over death.
Note: In real life, Tilda Swinton, who plays an alcoholic in the film, cannot drink. She says she would fall asleep after having just one glass."
