Washington, D.C. (May 19, 2012) — Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) President and CEO John Castellani issued the following statement today:
"PhRMA is pleased that the G8 Leaders recognize the threat to global public health of counterfeiting activities around the world. We applaud the leaders' recognition that counterfeiting must be addressed.
"Counterfeiting is a crime against patients. By deliberately and deceitfully attempting to pass themselves off as something that they are not, namely, genuine approved medicines, counterfeit medicines pose a global public health risk that can lead to resistance to treatment, illness, disability and even death. Counterfeit medicines are manufactured, marketed and distributed with the deliberate intent to deceive patients and healthcare providers as to the source or nature of the product. As a result, these products threaten the health and safety of consumers throughout the world. The extent of the worldwide counterfeiting problem is difficult to quantify, but all estimates suggest that counterfeiting of medicines is on the rise.
"PhRMA especially applauds the leadership of President Obama to bring this initiative to the G8. PhRMA and its members are eager to support these activities as we believe it is imperative to ensure that patients are obtaining safe medicines. We look forward to the implementation of all the recommendations made at the G8.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. PhRMA companies are leading the way in the search for new cures. PhRMA members alone invested an estimated $49.5 billion in 2011 in discovering and developing new medicines.

Unleashing the Power of You: The Small Business Support Community
There has been a great deal of buzz around the tech sector over the last 5 years around Web 2.0, using it to connect to your partners and customers, and ultimately how some companies have revolutionized business models through next-generation communities.We'd like to give you some insight on how we created the Small Business Support Community, or more importantly why we created it, and why we hope you'll spend some time checking it out.
In November of 2008 Cisco made a $100 Million commitment to the small business market. In December 2009 we announced that we had expanded our small business product offering to include over 600 networking, security and communications products specifically designed for this market.
As we discussed how to best support our customer and partner base for small business, it became clear that there are millions of potential customers and thousands of partners in the marketplace. Even for the largest global sales force and support team supporting millions would present a unique challenge. So how could we support such a large and diverse group? Community! Crowdsourcing! We realized that even though we have a great team of small Business experts here at Cisco, all of you that have been living in the world of Small Business a lot longer than we have would be the key to helping us understand what you need.
We launched the Community in January of 2009, and we have truly been impressed and grateful for the level of expertise that has been shown by our partners and customers on the Community. We now have almost 70,000 unique users from all over the world, contributing knowledge around small Business technology in 8 languages.
There are also Cisco engineers staffing the Community who are answering questions and concerns, and seeing your support questions first hand decreased the time of response. This also leads to the team being able to immediately begin addressing bugs or flaws, whereas the time cycles used to take longer as the issues would take time to read out from phone/online case volumes or getting feedback through traditional channels. Utilizing the Community puts any issues out front and center for the Cisco Small Business team to immediately see, and rest assured that nothing is off the table. Of course there are the general rules of conduct as with any Community around profanity and such, but any product-related issue is fair game on the Community and our team will be working with you to resolve it.
If this is your first time hearing about the Community, please check it out! If you've been there before and have feedback for us on how it can be better or different to suit your needs, please feel free to comment here or on the Community. There is one source for making the Community not just the Cisco Community but the Global Small Business Support Community, and that is your valuable feedback. We look forward to seeing you there and continuing to improve your experience with Cisco Small Business.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Federal judge strikes down Chicago ban on gun sales
City ordinance passed in 2010 "goes too far," he declares.
A federal judge Monday struck down Chicago's ban on handgun sales within the city.
The ordinance, passed by the City Council in 2010, "goes too far in outright banning legal buyers and legal dealers from engaging in lawful acquisitions and lawful sales of firearm," U.S. District Court Judge Edmond Chang wrote, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The law forbade gun shops and prohibited gun owners from taking firearms outside their homes.
Chang delayed the force of his ruling to give the city time to challenge it.
Four years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Chicago's ban on the possession of guns within city limits was unconstitutional.
Statewide, a week-old law on private gun sales requires a seller to check a buyer's credentials with the state police before transferring ownership.
Another new gun law allows Illinois residents to apply for concealed-carry permits.

Afghan Biographies
Akhundzadah, Haibatullah Mullah
|Akhundzadah, Haibatullah Mullah
|Ethnic backgr.
|Date of birth
|Taliban Leader since 2016
|History and Biodata
1. Taliban Leader:
Muhammad Yaqoob, son of Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar, who carries enormous prestige within the movement, was brought in as one of his two deputies.
Military chief:
deeply conservative religious authority with no background in fighting
Four years ago (2012), an Afghan Baloch in Kuchlak area called Mohammad Alam Mohammad Hassni, from the Mohammad Hassni tribe — who was famous for his transport business and well-known locally as al-Haj, a title used for someone who has performed multiple Hajj or pilgrimages to Mecca — set up a mosque and a madrassah in the area. He made Haibatullah the imam of the mosque and put him in charge of the madrassah called Khairul Madaris, where he also lectured senior students. Many of those students became Taliban cadre.
Gul Mohammad Kakar, a Kuchlak local, said the new Taliban chief was famous for his religious knowledge and oratory skills. When he spoke, Kakar said, people listened. He was also known for his good manners. He performed those duties until he was elected a deputy of late Taliban chief Mansoor in August 2015.
Sources close to the Taliban claim that Haibatullah stayed in the area until an attack on Mansoor last December. After the attack, he left, and his whereabouts since then have been uncertain.

Follow Friday Newsletter: 8 April 2011
A favorite subject in these parts:
Sharing with other researchers. And Kerry Scott at Clue Wagon asks "What Happens When Cousins Won't Share?" She gives several examples of legitimate or understandable reasons for not sharing, especially when the cousins in question are not into genealogical research. Several of the commenters address other cases we may have encountered - fellow researchers who take, don't attribute, and don't share. Hot Button Time.
Ah, we've been to this play:
A Comedy of Errors: My Family in the Census - Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Author - Cynthia Shenette, Heritage Zen. Your assignment: Read. Discuss. Take test in Part 3. Discuss again.
Hair, hair everywhere
... and there is no escape! At least not for Joanne of Keeper of Records, who seems to be followed by the stuff these days. Check out her series on "Victorian Hair Art" (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).
Why we do it
At Family Cherished, Valerie Elkins' post on "Getting Personal" illustrates one of the reasons she does genealogy - gaining perspective and wisdom - in a most touching way. Most of us can strongly identify with the reasons cited by Valerie for doing genealogy in this series. For me the "dirt-poor family from Alabama" is also a strong point of identification, as I can see much of my paternal grandmother's family experiences.
No Clooz
Jennifer Trahan writes about "My Decision Not to Use Clooz Anymore" at Jennifer's Genealogy Blog and cites the shortcomings that led her to her decision.
Are we compulsive, too?
Ruby Coleman at The You Go Genealogy Girls has some interesting thoughts on what it means to be "Obsessed with Genealogy" (which, as you may have gleaned from the header to this blog, describes the author of this blog, too).
A great account of a research trip
Read Valerie Craft's post on her recent research trip, "In Which I Am Chased By Dogs," at Begin With Craft. Priceless.
Let's Talk Cloud
In "Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining," Lorine McGinnis Shulze describes and compares several different cloud computing services at Olive Tree Genealogy Blog. Excellent information on what aspects of each service make them most useful for particular applications.
Too exciting for words!
Cheryl Palmer's "Great Swedish Adventure" (now at Part 7) is now at an advanced stage - the final 10 are to be chosen soon. Check out her latest report at Heritage Happens!
Common sense and solid research
are often in short supply. In "Can I read this stuff? Part Five of the limits of genealogical research," James Tanner at Genealogy's Star discusses why "Copying is not research" and why we must strive to avoid emulating the phenomenon described by Donald Lines Jacobus: "... the type of professional incompetent who believes that the printed word can never lie." If you have not read the previous four installments of this series, they are worth checking out as well.
Get out your hankies ...
and read a wonderful story. No spoilers. Read Sheri Fenley's "Moments Like This Are Why I Love My Job" at The Educated Genealogist.
And do NOT forget
The 104th Edition of the Carnival of Genealogy - "Cars as Stars" - at Jasia's Creative Gene!
For more suggested blog reading,
Check out "Best of the Genea-Blogs" at Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings, "Follow Friday: This Week's Favs" at Jen's Climbing Your Family Tree, and "Monday Morning's Mentions" at Lynn Palermo's The Armchair Genealogist.
This Week I Started Following These Blogs:
Eckstel: An Ancestral Blog
Retracing the Past
Telling Their Tale
The Pursuit of Joe Mangiafico and His Roots
My Link to the Past
Trails of My Imagination
My Research Week
was pretty well described in the previous post. So now there is a new family line to search - the Rossis of Vietri sul Mare, Italy. And possibly the De Donatos as well.

Couple preparing for mission to Czech Republic
News editor
Justin and Brooke (Johnson) Lenhardt of Marion are preparing for a mission trip to the Czech Republic and will give a presentation April 6 about past mission trips to the Central European country.
Brooke, a 2010 Marion High School graduate, went on a mission to the Czech Republic in the summer of 2011 with Josiah Venture, an organization that focuses its mission efforts on Central and Eastern Europe.
She helped with a camp for people 12 to 20 years old who wanted to learn English. After morning classes, the afternoons were filled with activities, and the evenings concluded with praise and worship in English and Czech.
In 2013, she returned with Justin to help with another English camp. Both camps were about three weeks. This summer, they will be returning to the Czech Republic again but as camp leaders, overseeing five other volunteers, and they will run four camps instead of helping with one. They will leave May 20 and return Aug. 15.
Brooke said her first trip was eye-opening. She thought the majority of Europe was at a minimum familiar with Christianity, but Czech churches suffered badly during the rule of a pro-Soviet Union communist regime from 1948 until Czechoslovakia split after the end of the Cold War.
However, she found that many people were receptive to mission efforts. She said shame plays a big role in modern Czech culture, so people weren't used to the ideas of forgiveness and grace.
The Lenhardts will give their presentation at 6:30 p.m. April 6 at the Marion Presbyterian Church fellowship hall. The presentation will include information about mission opportunities with Josiah Venture, as well as information about donating to the organization. Desserts and coffee will be served.

End-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library
As of March 1, 2013, the Legal Information Institute is no longer maintaining the information in the American Legal Ethics Library. It is no longer possible for us to maintain it at a level of completeness and accuracy given its staffing needs. It is very possible that we will revive it at a future time. At this point, it is in need of a complete technological renovation and reworking of the "correspondent firm" model which successfully sustained it for many years.
Many people have contributed time and effort to the project over the years, and we would like to thank them. In particular, Roger Cramton and Peter Martin not only conceived ALEL but gave much of their own labor to it. We are also grateful to Brad Wendel for his editorial contributions, to Brian Toohey and all at Jones Day for their efforts, and to all of our correspondents and contributors. Thank you.
We regret any inconvenience.
Some portions of the collection may already be severely out of date, so please be cautious in your use of this material.
Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct
Comment - Rule 2.1
Scope of Advice
[1] A client is entitled to straightforward advice expressing the lawyer's honest assessment. Legal advice often involves unpleasant facts and alternatives that a client may be disinclined to confront. In presenting advice, a lawyer endeavors to sustain the client's morale and may put advice in as acceptable a form as honesty permits. However, a lawyer should not be deterred from giving candid advice by the prospect that the advice will be unpalatable to the client.
[2] Advice couched in narrow legal terms may be of little value to a client, especially where practical considerations, such as cost or effects on other people, are predominant. Purely technical legal advice, therefore, can sometimes be inadequate. It is proper for a lawyer to refer to relevant moral and ethical considerations in giving advice. Although a lawyer is not a moral advisor as such, moral and ethical considerations impinge upon most legal questions and may decisively influence how the law will be applied.
[3] A client may expressly or impliedly ask the lawyer for purely technical advice. When such a request is made by a client experienced in legal matters, the lawyer may accept it at face value. When such a request is made by a client inexperienced in legal matters, however, the lawyer's responsibility as advisor may include indicating that more may be involved than strictly legal considerations.
[4] Matters that go beyond strictly legal questions may also be in the domain of another profession. Family matters can involve problems within the professional competence of psychiatry, clinical psychology or social work; business matters can involve problems within the competence of the accounting profession or of financial specialists. Where consultation with a professional in another field is itself something a competent lawyer would recommend, the lawyer should make such a recommendation. At the same time, a lawyer's advice at its best often consists of recommending a course of action in the face of conflicting recommendations of experts.
Offering Advice
[5] In general, a lawyer is not expected to give advice until asked by the client. However, when a lawyer knows that a client proposes a course of action that is likely to result in substantial adverse legal consequences to the client, the lawyer's duty to the client under Rule 1.4 may require that the lawyer offer advice if the client's course of action is related to the representation. Similarly, when a matter is likely to involve litigation, it may be necessary under Rule 1.4 to inform the client of forms of dispute resolution that might constitute reasonable alternatives to litigation. A lawyer ordinarily has no duty to initiate investigation of a client's affairs or to give advice that the client has indicated is unwanted, but a lawyer may initiate advice to a client when doing so appears to be in the client's interest.

Students wishing to apply for financial aid should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form determines the eligibility of students for many types of need-based aid, such as Federal Pell Grants, Stafford Loans and Work-Study. Students must be fully admitted into UNC Pembroke before they can receive a financial aid award. Most of the information on the FAFSA comes from information that the student and the parents report on their Federal Income Tax Forms. The priority financial aid filing date is March 1 of each year. Students applying for financial aid after March 1 may have less aid available.

are eligible to stand for and accept nominations for the APA presidency.
2. Eligibility and appropriateness of standing for the APA presidency while standing for another APA office. Individuals serving in
the APA presidency cycle shall not hold offices within the association
other than the ex-officio positions that accompany that office. A person
elected to the APA Presidency shall, during the term of president-elect,
president and past president, be restricted from holding any other APA
office, including divisional offices, that is not an ex-officio extension of
the Presidential office.
3. Call to membership of potential presidential nominees. An
annual announcement in the December issue of the APA Monitor on
Psychology will inform potential presidential nominees of the opportunity to speak at the February council meeting and invite them to submit
a brief statement ( 50 words or less) to accompany the president-elect
nomination ballot. The deadline for submission of such statements is
close of business on Jan. 15.
4. Statement on the issues facing psychology. After the slate of
candidates is announced, each one will be invited to provide a statement
regarding their candidacy. The candidates' statement accompanying the
election ballot should be confined to discussion of issues facing psychology and the APA and should not exceed 1,000 words. The APA Monitor
on Psychology will provide coverage of the candidates in a question and
answer format in issues published between their nomination and the
election. Each board and committee reporting to council or the board of
directors will be invited to develop questions, which will be reviewed by
the election committee. Six ( 6) final questions reflecting important issues to APA's various constituencies will be selected by the election committee and presented to each candidate. Their written responses will be
edited for APA style by APA Monitor on Psychology editors and returned
to the candidates for approval before appearing, in tabular format, over
three subsequent issues of the APA Monitor on Psychology. The answers
to each question will be limited to 100 words. Each candidate will also
be given the opportunity to write a short statement, not to exceed 300
words, as a lead into their questions and answers. The past president, as
chair of the election committee, is responsible for enforcing these limitations.
5. Appropriateness of a member of the board of directors endorsing a particular candidate. Since the board of directors is the executive
committee of the association as a whole, it should be viewed as being
nonpartisan, and, as a matter of protocol, board members should not
endorse candidates for the office of president-elect.
6. Reporting of campaign funds. APA presidential candidates arerequired to report any financial support greater than $200 that theyreceived while seeking nomination or election from Aug. 1 of thepreceding year of the election through two weeks prior to the start ofthe president-elect election balloting period.

This will include support from anyindividual, group, organization, society, APA division, state associationor caucus of APA council. Any honorarium and expenses for travel topresent or speak to a group specifically regarding the candidate's nomi-nation or election also must be reported. If there is a question aboutwhether financial support is reportable, it should be reported.
Candidates will report all contribution sources and amounts on a form
approved by the election committee. Candidates must sign verifying that
the report is complete and submit it to the APA election office no later
than Sept. 1. Candidates may not accept contributions after this date.
The data will be made available to the membership on the APA Election
7. Selling or providing APA mailing labels and email address lists.
APA will not sell or provide mailing labels or email address lists for
campaign purposes.

belle's ears have a strong unpleasant odor and she scratches her at her ears. my daughter is going to take her to the vet next week. Does this sound like an infection or allergy? Lisa says she's noticed that odor since she got belle last August but says it's become stronger lately. She's been seen by a vet for routine care and nothing has been noted. Her ears look clean, the part that's visible. There's no visible discharge or debris, the ears look normal. but the odor is foul and strong. i can smell it from a few inches away.

Trainer to Cruiser
Designed from the keel up as a training ship for naval cadets, the USS Bancroft was to serve as a seagoing instructional platform for seamanship, gunnery, torpedoes, and steam engineering. Yet, later as a functional miniature cruiser, she had to pull her weight wherever the Navy needed her. The ship was named in honor of George Bancroft of Worcester, Massachusetts, an historian, statesman, and founder of the U.S. Naval Academy and was authorized on 7 September 1888.
The Navy signed a contract for the "steel practice vessel" Bancroft with Samuel L. Moore and Sons Company of Elizabethport, New Jersey, which laid her keel in February 1891. "As the wind tossed her blond hair and the long ribbons of her big hat," one observer of the christening wrote, Miss Mary Frances Moore, daughter of the Crescent Shipyard's treasurer and granddaughter of the firm's president, "cried in a clear voice, 'I name thee Bancroft,'" on 20 April 1892. She then smashed the beribboned bottle on the bow, after which "the ship slid away like a bird, her deck covered with cheering people, while every whistle tooted wildly and the great crowd sent up a shout."
The Navy had specified 12 knots for the Bancroft's speed, with a premium for the builder if she exceeded that figure. On her trials, she made 14.374 knots, earning the company $45,000. Delivered at the New York Navy Yard, she was commissioned on 3 March 1893. Following her final trials, she moved to Annapolis, Maryland, where the Naval Academy formally received her on 28 July 1893. "By order of the [Navy] Department," Captain Robert L. Phythian, the superintendent, noted, "she is kept in readiness for sea service, except that perishable stores have been transferred to the navy-yard at Norfolk."
Within a year of the ship's arrival at Annapolis, the Academy's Committee on Seamanship, Ordnance, and Navigation soon found "the target practice afloat in the Bancroft, with modern guns, was exceptionally accurate and the batteries handled with evident familiarity and efficiency." Additionally, the Committee on Drill, Discipline, Practical Exercises, Etc. wrote that she answered "admirably the demands for giving practice in the modern sense, as well as drills under steam." The Bancroft conducted practice cruises during 1894-96, ranging from Annapolis to Hampton Roads, Newport News, Philadelphia, and New York.
Ultimately, however, operational experience proved the Bancroft to be too small for her designed purpose. She was slated for squadron service in European waters in mid-1896. Ten days in the New York Navy Yard prepared her for the transatlantic run. Toiling almost round the clock, yard workmen replaced her three masts with two, altering her barkentine rig to schooner rig; modified her storeroom to provide additional bunker space for coal; as well as performed myriad other tasks in much less than a fortnight.
The Bancroft departed Tompkinsville on 15 September 1896 bound for the Azores and then Gibraltar, where she arrived on 4 October after bucking strong headwinds the latter part of the passage. Standing out two days later bound for Asia Minor, the ship ultimately reached Smyrna on 15 October, bringing to a close her 1,631-nautical-mile voyage. She logged an average speed of 8.25 knots, with a daily coal consumption of 10.3 tons.
From the autumn of 1896 into the late winter of 1897-98, the Bancroft operated in the eastern Mediterranean, since, as Rear Admiral Thomas O. Selfridge Jr., the commander in chief of the European Squadron, observed, "The Tendency of the Turks to persecute Armenians and Christians required the frequent presence of the Commander-in-Chief in that region." She got a taste of local tensions when Turkish soldiers fired on her as she stood in to Smyrna during the midwatch on 5 December 1896. The incident was quickly and diplomatically defused by the arrest and replacement of soldiers of the garrison deemed responsible. The remainder of the Bancroft's time in that region proved significantly less eventful, with the ship visiting a succession of ports from Egypt to Syria.
Tensions between the United States and Spain, however, prompted a gathering of U.S. naval vessels in home waters, and on 12 March 1898, Secretary of the Navy John D. Long directed Rear Admiral John C. Howell, commander-in-chief of the European Squadron, to send the Bancroft, then at Lisbon, to Norfolk "at once." The ship outfitted there, then steamed to Key West.
The Bancroft convoyed troop transports, patrolled in search of rumored Spanish torpedo boats, and shepherded the last troop-carrying ships to Santiago on 20 June 1898. Then, along with the gunboats Annapolis and Helena and the armed yacht Hornet, bombarded Daiquiri two days later, clearing the area of a company of Spanish soldiers and setting fire to the town. Shifted next to blockade the coast of Cuba in late July, off the Isle of Pines, the little cruiser launched a boat expedition on 2 August to capture a schooner at the small coastal town of Bailen. Spanish rifle shots crackled from the shore, answered by 1-pounder and rifle fire, but not before enemy fire cut down Coal Passer Emmanouil Koulouris, killing him instantly. He would be the ship's only battle casualty.
Following the conclusion of the "splendid little war," the Bancroft returned to Boston on 2 September 1898, where she was decommissioned at the end of the month. Returned to commission on 6 October 1902, she served as station ship at San Juan, Puerto Rico, then watched over American interests at Colon, Panama Canal Zone. She cruised up the Orinoco River in July 1903, where her crew witnessed the Battle of Ciudad Bolivar, which marked the end of the Liberating Revolution (1901-03), the bloodiest civil conflict in Venezuela since independence. "No better view of the whole battle could possibly have been obtained than that from our ship," wrote Lieutenant Mark St.Clair Ellis, "which was so close to the shore that individuals could be recognized through the [long] glass. The ship was frequently struck by bullets, which added the spice of personal danger to the picturesque tragedy we beheld." The following year, the Bancroft protected American interests during unrest in Santo Domingo.
Ultimately, the ship reached the end of her usefulness to the Navy, which directed that she be turned over to the Treasury Department effective 6 July 1906. The Bancroft was assigned to the Revenue Cutter Service and renamed Itasca later that month. Essentially rebuilt by the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, she emerged from the yard "practically as good as new, and in many respects better than when she was originally designed." She was placed in commission on 17 July 1907 and made five practice cruises to European ports over the next four years before being assigned to duties principally along the eastern seaboard of the United States.
During the period of American neutrality between the outbreak of World War I in the summer of 1914 and the spring of 1917, the Itasca continued practice cruises that ranged into the West Indies. Returning to Navy control again between 6 April 1917 and 28 August 1919, the Itasca was recommissioned on 1 June 1920, and made one last training cruise, visiting Punta Delgada and Brest and returning to New London for the last time on 3 October. Ultimately put up for sale, the Itasca and the cutter Androscoggin were acquired by Charles A. Jording of Baltimore, Maryland, for $8,250, and scrapped.
Although she enjoyed limited success as a training vessel, the Bancroft played her role in the U.S. Navy's coming of age and entrance onto the world stage. Naval cadets treading her decks included Thomas C. Hart, William D. Leahy, and Harry E. Yarnell. She participated in two wars and observed revolutions and unrest in far-flung climes, a unique bystander in troubled times. The Navy perpetuated her name on two destroyers, carrying the lineage through World War II.

« In Which We Make A Plan For The Year Ahead »
View of the New Year
by ALEX CARNEVALE
In the ocean, there is a separation between myself and the world. Drying off dissipates it. I swam with my father as a boy. He told me that he thought of the day ahead, the world he would enter. I told him I thought of never leaving the wet, never breathing again. It was also an excuse that got me out of gym class.
When I read the familiar story of an outsider in an organization, I ask myself who really thinks of themselves as an insider, except perhaps Mark Zuckerberg's sister.
My old professor's marriage ended several years before he killed himself. When he spoke of his wife, it was like recalling Milton. Things that have already occurred fade so quickly. I miss him - not being around him, I gave up on that long ago, but wanting to have the memory of him without thinking of the sorrow. I hope they all have stopped existing so I no longer have to worry for them.
To be known to others only by what you write must be galling, especially if you are as talentless as Ian McEwan.
There is absolutely no point in having a penis. It is like an appendix, yet even less vital, since the appendix may yet have function we cannot discern with our simple minds.
A kind of uncertain pity for those who believe in God, a more assured empathy for those who find they cannot.
In Walmart the other day I saw a woman tap dance. Even that was partially expected. The only truly spontaneous act is absence because it is never truly anticipated. The illusion of control.
I did once climb Diamond Head, although I could not make to the top. I became claustrophobic in a narrow passage before the summit; women carried young children past me in their arms. Yes, I was taller than them, but relatively, not much taller.
Is a mirror.
I change the place it happens, or the time. Maybe it does not come, or arrives differently, not in the same fashion as when it left. This never used to bother me before, in the same way that this year I suddenly started to hate contractions.
Those who come in and out of my life may retain some lasting impression, but that perception pales in comparison to what I take from them. Revisiting their words to me is my occupation. Because I can only fathom myself through their influence, and I could not be more sorry to have to admit that.
Other things I have climbed.
The careful one touches his fingers to the glass before he wipes it.

Titanium Transmute
My idea is that it tends to be a money making strategy that requires multiple characters because the 2 professions, Mining and Alchemy are not a typical combination you find on a single character. Anyone got a Miner/Alchemist? Probably not many. Therefore this is easiest for players with both a miner and an alchemist. If you have both, look into it. There is good money to be made from transmuting and selling on the AH in stacks of 3 and single bars.

I was actually thinking of this very idea the other night before I logged off. Last time I bothered to do the Saronite/Titanium transmute, there was a cooldown on it, but I realized that the transmute spec proc should affect it. So there's definitely potential, in my mind.ReplyDelete
Once the servers come back up, I'll post the results.
- xmolderMarch 25, 2010 at 12:34 AM
Alright, checked this out and have a bit to report. First, some background. I have a transmute alch, miner, and engineer. All of the mats can be obtained by myself for free (and fairly fast, at that) so the results may be biased in my favor. I've only compared prices vs. time spent farming on my own server, your results may vary.ReplyDelete
Transmute: Titanium no longer has a cooldown. This is a great thing. It can also proc from a trans alch. Rate seems to be about the same as with gems and whatnot, which I assume (though can't confirm) is universal. The downside is, you need 8 bars of Saronite for 1 bar of Titanium. So if 8s </= 100g
If you can buy 8 Saronite/1 Titanium bar, 1 Eternal Fire, 1 Eternal Earth, and 1 Eternal Shadow for less than 100 gold, you have a chance to make a profit. Add in Frozo, the Frozen Orb vendor, and keep an eye on Frozen Orb prices. If they're cheaper than any eternals (which is likely to be fire (like I said, we're assuming no engineer)) you can buy them and put that cost in the formula above.
This is made even more trivial if you're willing to put up with potential ganking in Wintergrasp to get your own eternals.
For ease of math, to make...
One stack of Titanium, you would need 160 Saronite Bars.
One stack of Titansteel, you would need 480 Saronite Bars, 20 Eternal Fire, 20 Eternal Earth, and 20 Eternal Shadow.
tl;dr - Transmute: Titanium CAN work, working up to Smelt Titansteel is probably better if you have a gatherer.

Responses to conflict-related sexual violence around the world is the focus of a new book co-edited by Susan Dewey, University of Wyoming assistant professor of gender and women's studies.
Co-edited by UW adjunct Associate Professor Tonia St. Germain and published by Kumarian Press, "Conflict-Related Sexual Violence" presents completely original work by anthropologists, international human rights lawyers, legal theorists, political scientists, mental health professionals and activists. The contributors report upon their respective research regarding responses to conflict-related sexual violence in Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Colombia, Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Somalia and South Africa.
The bulk of the book addresses the implications of international responses to conflict-related sexual violence through analyses of the gaps between policy and practice with respect to efforts made by international organizations, criminal courts and tribunals to reduce or respond to conflict-related sexual violence.
According to the publisher, "The book exemplifies a visionary blending of analysis, evidence, concepts and programs for ameliorating the lot of those whose lives are framed by war and conflict, and the striving to find healing and justice."
A UW faculty member since 2010, Dewey teaches the Introduction to Women's Studies course and a methods class. She received a bachelor's degree (1999) at Stony Brook University and received master's (2002) and doctoral degrees (2004) at Syracuse University.

Photo Flash: First Look at Mercury Theater's THE CHRISTMAS SCHOONER
The shipwreck of the Rouse Simmons, known as 'The Christmas Tree Ship', served as inspiration for THE CHRISTMAS SCHOONER. Her captain and crew risked the notoriously violent winter lake to bring Christmas trees from Michigan's Upper Peninsula to Chicago's German immigrants. Each year, Captain Herman Schuenemann would sell trees right off of the ship at the Clark Street Docks, and was known to give free trees to the needy. On November 23rd 1912, the ship was swept up in a terrible storm. It was not until 59 years later that she was discovered, lying in 170 feet of water. Today the Rouse Simmons and her cargo of 5,500 well stacked trees remain preserved in the cold, fresh waters of Lake Michigan and her legend has grown to mythical proportions. The Blaine Nickelodeon - the silent film theater that now houses the Mercury - opened that very same year.
THE CHRISTMAS SCHOONER has entertained audiences in hundreds of productions including a twelve year run at Chicago's Bailiwick Repertory Theatre. Last year the Mercury revived the tradition with a full orchestra and an all-star cast, garnering a "Best Production" nomination for the 2012 Jeff Awards. A timely and uplifting tale of love and loss, THE CHRISTMAS SCHOONER reminds us of tradition, and our responsibility to celebrate the living while honoring our heritage.
THE CHRISTMAS SCHOONER is written by Chicago favorites John Reeger (book) and Julie Shannon (music and lyrics) and stars returning cast members Karl Hamilton as "Peter Stossel", Jeff Award winner Cory Goodrich as "Alma Stossel," and Jeff Award winner Jim Sherman as "Gustav Stossel.". The production is once again helmed by the Jeff-award winning team of L. Walter Stearns (director), Eugene Dizon (musical director) and Brenda Didier (choreographer). The scenic design is by Jacqueline and Richard Penrod, with costume design by Carol Blanchard and lighting design by Jason Epperson.
The Mercury Theater is an intimate jewel-box in the heart of a sophisticated neighborhood of restaurants and shopping just steps from Wrigley Field. It adjoins two restaurants; Cullen's Bar and Grill and Deleece, who offer dining and libations before and after the show. Early in 2012, the Mercury debuted new audience amenities, including new spacious restrooms and an open-air box office.
Performances are now through December 30, 2012. The schedule is: Wednesdays at 2pm and 7:30pm, Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30pm, Saturdays at 2pm and 7:30pm and Sundays at 1pm. Tickets range from $29 to $59. Groups of 10 or more receive discounts of up to 50%. For tickets and information contact the Mercury Theater at 773-325-1700 or www.mercurytheaterchicago.com.

Colleen M. Hiam was recently appointed as the Center Director for the U.S. Small Business Administration, Customer Service Center, located in Buffalo, NY. The CSC is a state-of-the-art national contact center supporting the needs of SBA's Office of Disaster Assistance by providing a single resource for its internal and external customers. The center's main responsibility is to respond to disaster victim's inquiries by phone, email, letter or fax. SBA's Office of Disaster Assistance provides low-interest, long-term disaster loans to homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes and nonprofit organizations. It serves the entire US, including all of its islands, territories and commonwealths.
Colleen graduated in 1987 from the State University College at Buffalo, summa cum laude, with a Bachelors of Science degree in Business and a minor in Economics. After joining the Buffalo State Small Business Development Center (SBDC) as a Procurement Center Technical Representative, helping firms get certified and market to government agencies, she became a general business counselor assisting small business owners and those interested in starting a small business.
Colleen joined the SBA in 1990 as a Business Development Officer in the Rochester Post-of-Duty, marketing to local organizations, banks and lenders, and acting as the liaison to the local SBDCs and Service Corps of Retired Executives. After six months, Colleen transferred to the newly appointed Buffalo District Office as a Business Development Specialist in the Minority Enterprise Development program. She spent 8 years growing her portfolio and working closely with a number of firms; amassing contracts in her last year in the program, worth over $30 million dollars. She became fluent in contracting rules and regulations and at ease dealing with high level government officials.
In 1998, Colleen was selected as the Public Information Officer for the Disaster Assistance, Area 1 Office. During seven years as the PIO, she has worked on a number of disasters including hurricanes Georges and Floyd, the Seattle earthquake, the Midwest tornadoes, the explosions and fires at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the four hurricanes that battered Florida in 2004, just to name a few.
In 2005, when ODA transformed into functional centers, Colleen applied for and was selected as the Deputy Center Director for the Customer Service Center. Essentially, she became the chief operating officer for the center and shared full responsibility with the Center Director for planning, directing, managing and evaluating the functions of the center regarding response operations and program delivery.
Colleen has found it to be very satisfying helping individuals and business owners put their lives back together and seeing their dreams come to fruition. She stated, "No where have I seen such dedicated employees or such kindness from the communities we have worked in. When obstacles turn into stepping stones and disaster turns into triumph, it is an inspiration."
During Ms. Hiam's nearly 24-year career with the SBA, she has been honored with a number of awards for her dedication and service. She has received SBA's Special Achievement Awards, Special Act Awards, Cash Awards, Star Awards and Certificates of Appreciation.

The movie Machete started out as a fake trailer in the double feature Grindhouse (Planet Terror and Death Proof). Grindhouse had several fake trailers and news pieces in it to give it the old-timey feel of the golden age of double feature movies, the 1970s. The fake trailer was so popular, they decided to turn it into a real movie. Another fake trailer from the movie, Thanksgiving, is currently in development. The fake trailer, Planet Terror, and Machete were all written and directed by Robert Rodriguez.
In reality, this movie started out long before Grindhouse. Danny Trejo's character Machete is very reminiscent of his character Navajos, the assassin, in the movie Desperado also written and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Rodriguez started writing Machete after he completed Desperado.
Over the years, Danny Trejo has become a popular staple in movies for men. He has become somewhat of an icon. When I saw Grindhouse, I commented that my favorite part of it was the trailer for Machete. I wasn't surprised that they made the movie, and I was very excited when I heard about it.
(Danny Trejo as Machete)
Machete (Danny Trejo) is a Mexican Federale (national police) who is tried to take down a drug kingpin Torrez (Steven Seagal). He is set up and trapped by Torrez. Torrez kills Machete's family in front of him and leaves Machete for dead. Machete lives (obviously) and crosses the border into Texas where he hides out as a day laborer. He is unable to find work but is befriended by Luz (Michelle Rodriguez) a woman who runs a taco stand and leads a group that helps smuggle Mexican nationals into America.
Machete makes a little money fighting in an alley. This leads to a job offer to assassinate a local US Senator, Senator McLaughlin (Robert De Niro). Machete reluctantly takes the job. When he is in place to shoot the Senator, he quickly figures out that he is being set up as the fall guy. Another sniper shoots at Machete and then shoots the Senator in the leg. Machete is blamed for the assassination attempt, and the only way to prove his innocence is to go after the people who hired him and take them out. At the same time, he is going up against anti-emmigration radicals who are working with the Senator and his campaign manager, the one who hired Machete in the first place. It all comes full circle when it turns out that they are business partners with Torrez. On Machete's side is Luz, the members of her group, and Federal agent Santana (Jessica Alba).
(Steven Seagal as Torrez prepares to fight Machete)
(Robert De Niro as Senator McLaughlin and Jeff Fahey as Booth)
It's not a great storyline, but that's not why you watch this movie. It has nonstop action, sexy women (Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, twins Electra and Elise Avellan, and more), and an unparalleled cast. This movie was exactly what I thought it would be and more. If anything surprised me, it was the stellar cast (Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin, Lindsay Lohan, Tom Savini, etc.).
(Michelle Rodriguez as Luz)
(Electra and Elise Avellan as the nurses)
(Jessica Alba as federal agent Santana)
This movie is a definite must-see and is on my to-buy list. I give it a rating of 6/6.

Millions noticing paychecks lighter today, due to payroll tax hike
Gabriella Hoffman's paycheck is a little lighter today, thanks to a payroll tax increase that is forcing millions of Americans to make the kind of tough budget cuts their representatives in Washington lawmakers seem unwilling to tackle.
Hoffman, a 21-year-old Virginian who works at a nonprofit, estimates her paycheck will be roughly $30 less this biweekly pay period, or about $780 annually, thanks to the end of a two-year cut on payroll taxes, which fund Social Security. The tax has risen back up to 6.2 percent from 4.2 percent, costing someone making $50,000 annually about $1,000 per year and a household with two high-paid workers up to $4,500.
"As a newly-graduated person, someone coming straight out of college, I don't like the idea of having less money coming to me due to the selfish interests of people in Congress who don't have any interest in reducing our financial problems," Hoffman told FoxNews.com. "This is an impediment for future economic growth. It's going to make it harder for young people like myself to get married, find a better job, you name it."
Hoffman admits the hike won't completely alter her spending, but the University of California-San Diego graduate said she will definitely have it in mind when it comes to leisure activities and entertainment.
"Although it's a small quantity on a monthly basis, just having less money going into my paycheck will prevent me from doing things and force me to be more frugal," she said. "I'll be more cautious with my spending."
The looming hit to Americans' paychecks has been a hot topic around water coolers nationwide, as well as online, where several forums have been created for taxpayers to commiserate with their lighter wallets. On Twitter, #WhyIsMyPaycheckLessThisWeek has been a trending topic as most U.S. workers have either already seen less green or are preparing to do so.
"Well, looks like we're starting to pay back all of the money we've spent, without cutting back spending," one posting read.
Another user cited the need for the U.S. government to "refill the Social Security 'lockbox'" before stealing from it again as the reason paychecks are smaller.
Other postings chose to politicize the end of the tax cut that was part of the fiscal pact passed by Congress last week.
"Seems to me that anybody who is paid a check for working is considered 'the rich' in Obama's world," Jeff Hobbs of Texas wrote Wednesday.
Another posting read: "Hey Liberals, #YourPaycheckIsLowerThisWeek because you voted for the job KILLER, not the job SAVER!"
So, what exactly does $40 mean? That's what the White House asked Americans last year when President Obama signed the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, which extended the payroll tax cut and emergency jobless benefits through the end of the year and prevented the typical family earning $50,000 a year from losing roughly $40 from each paycheck.
"$40 is 10 gallons of heating oil when the temperatures in winter hover in the negative numbers for months," Pamela from Fairbanks, Alaska, posted on www.whitehouse.gov/40dollars.
"Forty dollars is a tank of gas, a nicer Sunday family meal instead of hot dogs, the ability to leave lights on instead of turning them off earlier in the evening," Rita from New Britain, Conn., wrote. "Forty dollars is being able to go to the movies, or having a night out at an inexpensive restaurant, it's also paying co-pays for my meds that I need to live on."
Priscilla of Kailua, Hawaii, said $40 is the amount "sometimes between paying the electric" bill or not.
"We cannot pay more," she wrote. "We do not have it."
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told The Associated Press that the higher Social Security tax will slow growth by 0.6 percentage point in 2013. But for the average American worker who earns $41,000 – and will receive $32 less on every biweekly paycheck moving forward – the change will not be an "insubstantial hit," analysts told FoxNews.com.
"And I think a lot of people don't even realize this is happening," said Michael Tanner, a senior fellow at Cato Institute, a Washington-based think tank. "This kind of just slid by the wayside with all the talk of the fiscal cliff."
Simply put, less money "definitely will be" a shock for many Americans toiling in an uncertain economy, Tanner said, adding that many will restrict impulse purchases rather than alter long-term financial planning.
"People will have less money in their pockets, so by definition, they're going to have to make do with less," he said. "How they change their behavior remains to be seen."
For Ryan Ellis, tax policy director at Americans for Tax Reform, the hike represents a chance for young Americans to take a hard look at Social Security as a whole.
"My hope is that people under the age of 40 will start asking serious questions as to why they're paying more into a Social Security system that they are increasing unlikely to get the full benefit of," Ellis told FoxNews.com. "I hope everybody does. It's not a Republican or Democrat thing."
Hoffman, meanwhile, said she already has all the answers she needs.
"Any tax increase is not good for young people," she said. "What it does is diminish your hard work and you're slapped on the wrist. This administration is punishing people who are making money. They don't like the concept of free enterprise. They think these problems will be solved in Washington by taking away more of people's incomes."

SALISBURY, Md. – The No. 2 Salisbury University women's lacrosse team opened its Capital Athletic Conference schedule with a 14-7 win over the University of Mary Washington, extending its conference winning streak to 88 games, including postseason play. Minus postseason action, the Sea Gulls have won 66-consecutive contests in conference play, putting them two wins shy of tying the all-time Division III record for most consecutive conference victories in regular season play.
It was the Salisbury (8-0, 1-0 CAC) defense that shined brightest, with the Sea Gulls clamping down on the Mary Washington (6-5, 2-1 CAC) attack. The Sea Gull defense has played well all season for Head Coach Jim Nestor, but dominated the action against Mary Washington. The entire team, starting in the Salisbury offensive zone, pushed the Eagles out of their comfort zone and forced 23 Mary Washington turnovers in the contest. Senior Alyssa Hardesty and sophomore Bethany Baer led the way with three caused turnovers each.
Mary Washington's Keller Torrey came into today's contest with 25 goals, but was isolated by the Sea Gull defense, often clouded by a host of Salisbury defenders. Torrey netted three goals in the contest for the Eagles, but the rest of the offense was stymied. For the first time this season, freshman Allison Toomey saw extensive time on the field for Nestor and was effective in shutting down the Eagle attackers. While the younger Toomey sister didn't light up the statsheet, she was at the top of the zone in the defensive third, clogging potential passing routes for the Eagles to move the ball.
Junior Meghan Toomey, along with seniors Hardesty and Kat Gartner, and sophomores Dominique Dipino and Laura Maskell held the Eagles to four goals under their season scoring average. Helping back in the defensive zone were midfielders Baer, senior Kara Koolage, sophomore Hayden Hutzell and freshman Katelin Talbert, along with attackers Lauren Feusahrens, Shelby Nemecek and Samantha Duranti.
In the offensive zone, the Sea Gulls had two distinctly different games, the first 15 minutes of the contest and then the remaining 45 minutes. Salisbury jumped out to an early lead when Baer put home a free-position shot just 27 seconds into the contest. Half a minute later, senior Katie Bollhorst scored her lone goal of the afternoon, which was followed by Baer's second goal of the afternoon just 50 seconds later to give the Sea Gulls an early 3-0 lead. This was all before Mary Washington had possessed the ball for the first time in the contest.
Halfway through the first half, Bollhorst picked up her second yellow card of the contest, which forced her to miss the remainder of the contest. With the catalyst of the offense on the sideline, there was a noticeable difference in spacing and ball movement for the Sea Gulls. The senior from Severna Park, Md., did add two assists to go with her only goal, which moves her into fourth-place on the program's all-time points list, passing Kim Cudmore (2007-10).
The Sea Gulls had a commanding 6-1 lead at the time of Bollhorst's disqualification. That lead was widened to 8-1, before holding a 10-4 lead at the half.
The tone of the second half was immediately set by junior goalie Ashton Wheatley, who came out of the crease to intercept a Torrey pass that was intended to set up the Eagles' first possession of the half behind the cage. Throughout the contest, if the Mary Washington offense was able to find a way through the Sea Gull defense, the Cambridge, Md., native was there to stop them, turning away five Eagle shots to pick up the victory in the cage.
Baer led the Salisbury attack with three goals on the day. Koolage, Nemecek and sophomore Kate Haker each added a pair of goals for the Sea Gulls.
Salisbury outshot the Eagles 35-17 in the contest and held a 22-17 advantage in ground balls. Mary Washington held a 15-8 advantage in draw controls but were unable to capitalize on the ball control advantage.
The Sea Gulls look to pull closer to the College of Notre Dame of Maryland's all-time record of consecutive conference wins when Marymount (Va.) University travels to Sea Gull Stadium this Wednesday, April 3. That contest is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.

July 21, 2005
LOS ANGELES — The UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Institute continues to educate parents, providing health care information vital to their children's well being. The UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Institute for Head Start held its annual "Train the Trainers" conference on June 1-2, 2005, at UCLA Anderson School of Management. This conference attracted a record number of attendees with more than 160 participants from 31 Head Start agencies across the nation. The institute will train approximately 10,000 Head Start families nationwide by 2006, with 55 Head Start agencies participating in more than 35 states.
The Health Care Institute was established in 2002 by Dr. Ariella Herman, senior lecturer, Decisions, Operations & Technology Management at UCLA Anderson School of Management. Her goal in creating this training program was to educate Head Start parents so that they can properly manage the health care needs of their children.
Dr. Herman also recently presented her latest research from the UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Institute's study at the National Head Start Association's 32nd Annual Training Conference in Orlando, Florida on May 25, 2005. More than 4,000 Head Start leaders from across the country attended that conference.
Dr. Herman's research, which reflects data from 2003, reveals that parents who participated in the UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Institute's pilot and follow-up training sessions became better informed about their children's health. Her latest results found that Medicaid costs for a child's trip to an emergency room or clinic can be reduced annually by at least $232 per family when Head Start parents are provided with easy-to-understand health care guidance. Additionally, the study reveals that training 10,000 families could save Medicaid $2,320,000 in unnecessary emergency and clinic visits annually.
In caring for and managing minor childhood sicknesses, Head Start parents are taught to first look in a medical reference book provided to them by the agency, instead of making a trip of the emergency room or physician's clinic. Results from Dr. Herman's study show dramatic 61% decreases in emergency visits in 2003, while doctor/clinic visits decreased by 56%; results from 2002 revealed a 48% and 37.5% decrease, respectively.
"As we continue to train Head Start parents, we're pleased to see that we're making significant progress," said Dr. Herman, whose research efforts are also supported by UCLA Anderson's Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. "This study is not simply about trying to reduce health care costs, but more importantly, it empowers parents to gain the knowledge they need to be the first line of defense when their children become ill."
Benefits resulting from the UCLA/Johnson & Johnson Health Care Institute:
- Increased parental awareness of health warning signs
- Quicker response to early signs of illness before medical problems escalate
- Use of training book as reference tool in home
- Better understanding of common childhood illnesses
- Fewer school absences and faster return to school following illness
- Decrease in emergency room and physician office/clinic visits
