Sapphire HD4830 512MB Review
Closer Look:
Sapphire makes the install a simple process with its install all menu. When the CD is inserted into the CD drive the auto start program takes over launching the Sapphire installation menu. There are two options: one for Windows XP and one for Windows Vista. You need to select the option for the operating system you are installing the card on. To the left there is a list of the cards supported by this driver.
Once you select the Driver Install option then the programs hands the install off to the Catalyst Control Center Installer which will actually install the ATI drivers and get you all set up. You choose the install location and the options you want included in the install and the Catalyst Control Center Installer does the rest. Once the installer is finished then you are prompted to restart the computer to finalize the install process.
Now that the drivers are installed we can get a better look at the Catalyst Control Center.

Just a week after 4chan users voted North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un to the top of Time magazine's Person of the Year poll, a group of hackers related to 4chan managed to spell out "KJU GAS CHAMBERS" with the poll's top 14 names -- starting with Kim, Jon Stewart and Undocumented Immigrants.
According to a report from The Daily Dot, the poll manipulation scheme is the handiwork of a group of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) users, who used a Java script to manipulate the voting results.
One IRC user explained their choice of words to The Daily Dot:
There really is nothing too exciting about the meaning, sorry to say. We chose it because it was clever, had semi-subtle offensive overtones, and wasn't as childish as our second choice of KFCBUTTSEX
Furthermore, if there was any overt justification for why we chose gas chambers, it's because we wanted to reference Hitler, who's [sic] gas chamber antics are always offensive to people. His name was mentioned a lot when we were discussing what to spell.
The phrase, "KJU GAS CHAMBERS" refers to the North Korean leaders mysterious and brutal prison camps, where entirely families have reportedly been gassed.
Mashable reported December 3 that 4chan was planning to spell out the phrase after they propelled Kim to the top of the poll. "For our Glorious Leader, Episode II: We've already voted him to the top, now lets spell something nice with the first letters of the contestants," wrote one user.

Streak now at 25, as Heat rally past Detroit
MIAMI (AP) -- Another game, another double-digit rally for the Miami Heat.
And most importantly, another win.
LeBron James scored 29 points, Dwyane Wade added 19 and the Heat extended their winning streak to 25 games by pulling away in the second half and beating the Detroit Pistons 103-89 on Friday night.
Shane Battier and Mario Chalmers scored 11 apiece for Miami, which shook off yet another slow start to move within eight of tying the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers for the longest winning streak in NBA history. The Heat also won at home for the 16th straight time.
James added eight rebounds and eight assists for Miami, whose magic number for clinching the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference is now three.
Greg Monroe finished with 23 points and 15 rebounds for Detroit, which dropped its 10th straight game. Jose Calderon had 18 points and seven assists, most of that coming in the first half for the Pistons, who also got 18 points and eight rebounds from Kyle Singler.
The Heat dug their way out of a 17-point hole -- and a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter alone -- to win in Boston on Monday, and a 27-point, third-quarter deficit to prevail in Cleveland on Wednesday.
No real dramatics were needed this time: Detroit led by 11 in the second quarter, but the second half was pretty much all Miami. The Heat outscored Detroit 52-35 after halftime.
"It doesn't matter who we're playing. This time of year, it's going to be a dangerous team," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It's going to be a team absolutely urgent, desperate for a playoff position or a team with nothing to lose, no pressure. Either way, you have to impose your will."
That did not happen, at least not in the early going.
For the fifth time in the last six games, the Heat trailed after the first quarter. Detroit made 12 of its first 18 shots -- 67 percent -- and took a 28-20 lead fueled by an 8-0 run late in the opening period.
Detroit's lead went to 11 in the second quarter, with Calderon making all three of his field-goal attempts, all from 3-point range. He wound up with 16 points and six assists at halftime, just the second player to have a first-half stat line like that against the Heat this season. There were times it seemed Detroit was getting whatever it wanted.
Nonetheless, the Heat were down just 54-51 at the break.
Everything changed in the third, and as is usually the case with Miami, defense was the key. The Pistons scored 28 points in the first quarter, 26 more in the second -- and 22 in the first 19 minutes of the second half.
A lull like that was just too much to overcome, especially when the Heat took off on a 19-8 run to start the fourth quarter and put away the game.
After getting fouled in the open floor and playfully crashing into the basket support midway through the fourth, James took a playful swing at Wade and clearly seemed relaxed even though the Heat were up by only nine.
It was like he knew the capper was on the way. When play resumed, James set Wade up for a basket that gave Miami its first double-digit lead of the night, then threaded a pocket pass to Chris Bosh for a three-point play and a 90-76 lead with 5:47 remaining.
James walked to the far end of the floor, popped out his mouth guard and watched the replay on the overhead video board, then exhaled deeply.
The streak lived. Again.
NOTES: James picked up his fourth straight Eastern Conference player of the month award, this one for February, in a brief halftime ceremony. ... The Heat signed F Juwan Howard for the remainder of the season Friday. ... South Florida native Brandon Knight (left ankle) remained sidelined for Detroit. ... The Heat played a tribute video to the Atlantic Coast Conference champion Miami Hurricanes during the game, along with highlights of their NCAA tournament win from earlier Friday. ... Pistons reserve Kim English fouled out with 23.5 seconds left in the third quarter with no points in 12:05 of playing time. The only other players with a zero-point, six-foul night in fewer minutes this season are New York's Kurt Thomas (9:40) and Toronto's Amir Johnson (9:26). ... Golf's Greg Norman was in attendance, along with child abuse prevention advocate Lauren Book, who's on her annual awareness walk from Key West to Tallahassee.

Alessio Cerci could leave Torino
Torino president Urbano Cairo has dropped the biggest hint yet that his side will sell reported AC Milan target Alessio Cerci.
Cerci was left out of the Torino squad for their Europa League third round qualifying 3-0 win over Brommapojkarna on Thursday night amid mounting speculation that he is set to join the Rossoneri.
Cairo has confirmed offers have been received for the Italy international, but his hopes of holding onto him appear to be dwindling.
"If he's not motivated, then it's pointless trying to keep hold of him," Cairo told Radio 24. "There's been so much talk about Cerci and I think it all really comes down to whether he is happy staying with Torino.
"I'm the first person who wants him to stay, but if the lad has different desires then it becomes hard trying to keep hold of him. It's not a good idea forcing such a big player to stay when he lacks motivation."

Selling Cerci would see Torino lose their two main forwards from last season. He and Ciro Immobile, who has joined Borussia Dortmund, accounted for 35 of the Granata's 58 goals, with Cerci netting 13.
Fabio Quagliarella has been drafted in from city rivals Juventus as a replacement for Immobile, but the sale of Cerci could see the club forced to make a further signing ahead of the new season, which marks their return to Europe after an absence of two decades.
Should Cerci join Milan, he would forego European football, with the Rossoneri finishing behind Torino last season and failing to qualify.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Three tournaments and a regular season kickoff against Belmont highlight the 2013 Lipscomb men's soccer schedule.
"I am excited that we have the opportunity to test our team early," head coach Charles Morrow said. "We have eight returning starters from the semifinal team from last year. We will also get a couple of early tests in exhibition games."
The Bisons will play two warm-up matches against Martin Methodist on Aug. 16 and University of Alabama-Huntsville on Aug. 22 at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex before the regular season gets underway.
Having laid claim to the last four "Battle of the Boulevard's" the Bisons will look to make it five straight in the season opener on Aug. 30 as Belmont makes the short drive down Belmont Boulevard.
Lipscomb travels to the first of three straight tournaments beginning in Dayton, Ohio. The Bisons will clash with Eastern Illinois University on Sept. 6 and the host, University of Dayton on Sept. 8.
The following weekend Lipscomb heads up the road to E.S. Rose Park for contests with Cleveland State on Sept 13 and the University of Illinois-Chicago on Sept. 15 at the Belmont Mafioza's Invite.
The Hyatt Place Select/Lipscomb Invitational brings Appalachian State, Belmont and Central Arkansas to the Bisons' home turf. Belmont battles Central Arkansas in game one on Sept. 20 while the Bisons look to give a show to the hometown fans against Appalachian State in the second game.
On Sept. 22 Belmont and Appalachian State tango in game one while Lipscomb battles Central Arkansas in game two.
"I think Dayton's tournament, Belmont's tournament and our tournament will all be great tests to see where we are at heading into the conference season in October," Morrow said. "Not only tests to see where we are at but great preparation for what should be a good conference schedule."
A set of road games close out the non-conference schedule for Lipscomb. The Purple and Gold travel to Atlanta to face Georgia State on Sept. 26 and follow that with a trip to Missouri State on Sept. 29.
The Atlantic Sun Conference season gets underway as the Bisons travel to Florida Gulf Coast, defending A-Sun champions and NCAA participants, Oct. 4. Lipscomb travels to Stetson on Oct. 6 to end the four-game road trip.
The home portion of the A-Sun schedule kicks off with three straight games at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex led by Jacksonville on Oct. 11. North Florida travels to "Music City" on Oct. 13. The homestand closes with Northern Kentucky on Oct. 19.

When we arrived at our seats on the top Massey Hall balcony, the Rheostatics were already playing at their last concert EVER (sob!). Maybe it's just because I've been writing about my past anxiety, maybe I'm just more aware of it, and more aware that I would never have gone to Toronto, eaten dinner, and ridden the street car to go to a concert with a stranger just a few years ago. Whatever the reason, those old minions of panic trotted across my mind as soon as I squeezed myself into the seat: vertigo at how far down the band was and how near I was to the railing, visions of the balcony collapsing after like 100 years of not collapsing, visions of me getting up to pee and tripping and plunging to my death, feeling trapped by the people between me and the aisle escape. I was comforted by the fact that Sage already knew about my history of anxiety so that if I needed to stand by the door, I wouldn't have as much explaining to do. By the second song though I'd talked myself down and was absorbed in the music.
They played Me and Stupid early on, which was really great, and I'd forgotten that in the recorded version they sampled Al Purdy... more evidence that the Rheostatics is the best Canadian band ever. Dave Bidini mentioned Al, and pointed in the audience, and I imagined dear departed Al up in the balcony, tolerating the ruckus like he did when I saw the old poet at the Albion. Thinking of people who have left reminded me of my grandma, and how the last time I was in Toronto, I was just around the corner at the Elgin, just hours after the last time I saw her, when I said goodbye and that I loved her. The small melancholy I felt at seeing the end of the Rheostatics grew to a moment of overwhelming sadness that people have to leave us, except they never really do, with Al and my grandma watching from up in the rafters.
Thursday night, someone from Toronto came to my request list from a blog search for Rheostatics. I like to think it was one of the band members (Tim, is that you?), just keeping an eye on what the blogosphere has to say about their concert at Massey Hall and subsequent breakup. Judging from their playlist, I think it must have been one of them. They played 9 out of my top 13 choices, which I think is pretty kickass, considering that they have 13 albums to choose from.
So I have to say that I most certainly did not have beer goggles on when I came on (or tried to anyways) to Tim Vesely, like, almost a decade ago (gah!). I spent most of the concert trying not to drool on the person in front of me, whose head was virtually between my knees. That man(Tim, not the one in front of me) is FINE, and the stage lights really accentuated his lovely cheekbones. AND, he was wearing brown pants. I couldn't tell for sure way up in the top balcony, but I'm pretty sure they were brown cords, and nothing weakens my knees like brown cords (well, ok, maybe it was just the seatback in front of me digging into them). It only made him hotter in my eyes when he asked where his kids were. AND, Sage said she thinks she knows where he lives, she's seen him doing yard work (I imagine him shirtless on a hot sunny day, biceps bulging). Swoon. She didn't volunteer where though; I guess just in case I'm some kind of Internet stalker. Can't blame her really.
Sugar Daddy has a pair of brown cords but has stopped wearing them because they're ripped. But I think I'm gonna have to ask him to put them on around the house... and maybe I'll get him a guitar for Christmas, because there was something REALLY sexy about Tim playing his bass laying on his back on the stage at one point. I don't think it would matter that Sugar Daddy can't play...
King of the Past wasn't on my list, but only because I never owned Whale Music so I didn't know all the song names. It was fantastic. I thought that that song would be the highlight of the evening, but then they played Northern Wish with their old drummers Dave Clarke (who, with all due respect, TOTALLY looked like a South Park character with his toque, glasses, beard and pale blue tuxedo -- in fact I'm gonna "draw" him just to prove it) on the drums and Don Kerr on the cello, which became the highlight.
THEN they played Aliens... and I swooned as they sang the bit about "give me a deep kiss I've been longing for distraction," and I didn't think it could get any better. But it did. After the first fake ending, which I suspect served primarily as a pee break because they decided not to have an intermission so they could play more music, except it wasn't THAT kind because there were no beverages of any kind (for us anyways), and the seats at Massey Hall are very hard and small. I gotta give the guys credit: they played for 3 1/2 hours straight, and lasted way longer than my knees and ass.
It was a tremendously nostalgic evening... not only because it is the end of the band, but more personally. I haven't followed them for the last few years, so for me they're very much a part of my youth -- the same adolescent who adored Kids in the Hall and smoked cigarettes for the first time and drank beer around bonfires. On the one hand, it's really kind of sad that they never made it really big, because they are so talented, but on the other, I think it makes us fans feel smart and part of a select group. Actually, it felt more like regret than nostalgia, regret that I hadn't seen them in concert more when I had the chance, regret that I'd let them go like all the old friends I've lost touch with.
I couldn't help but think about how talented they all are. They all sing, they rotate instruments, and they always seem to be experimenting and having fun, while still keeping some special spark that is their own unique, identifiable sound. I love how they sampled Al Purdy reciting a line, how they created a whole album inspired by the Group of Seven, and how they collaborate with so many Canadian artists. And how they all also write or paint... they're marvels. Here they are, barely halfway through their lives, and they already know (I hope) that they will leave this place richer than they found it. That said, at one point Tim said something about opening for the Barenaked Ladies in Winnipeg, and I'm sorry, but that is just SO wrong.
They put on a great show, but those cramped seats made it feel like I was rockin' out strapped into the car, music booming and wanting to get all overcome but all I could do was bob my head in time. I felt that same mildly-pathetic-but-resolute-that-I-will-ROCK-IT feeling I do in the car on a summer day sometimes. The seats were too cramped even for chair dancing, so I just kept bobbing my head with the best of them. Dave Bidini had his signature fedora on, which contrasted jauntily with his Patio Lanterns rock star leaps, which I can just imagine him practicing as a 15-year-old in some wood-panelled basement with orange shag carpet.
There was one song that I didn't really recognize. Well, there were more than one, but one that really struck me. It was Self Serve Gas Station, which Martin dedicated to his parents and his sister, who was seeing him perform for the very first time, and that the song was only a little bit true. The lyrics punched me in the gut:
Another trucker stumbles up the steps into my kiosk for directions,
too wasted to see the map I'm showing him.
He wanted to bust the glass... 'cause I wouldn't give him gas -
I said, "You shouldn't be driving,
just take a nap until the morning-time and hit the road."
I wish I had a pistol just to take him down with myself;
who's to tell?
No one said this would be easy... but no one said this would be hell.
Their rendition of Horses, updated with snazzy 21st-century electronic references and effects, was positively apocalyptic, and I thought THAT would be the highlight of the evening... but no.
After Horses, they left the stage. I was deflated. They hadn't played Record Body Count, and I really didn't feel like leaving until they did, despite the cramps in my knees and my numb bum. I wondered if maybe Martin's voice just couldn't do it (poor guy, he was sick and his voice was pathetically, but movingly and appropriately hoarse at crucial moments). But they came out again after another standing ovation (which provided considerable relief to my old body), and Dave Bidini picked up his acoustic guitar and they all sat down on the edge of the stage, legs dangling. They talked for a moment, about nothing really, then played Legal Age Life and we all sang along. Dave Clarke came out again, and directed the audience in some fun backup "singing."
After the song, they walked into the middle of the audience, and Bidini spoke. He said that he didn't really feel emotional about the breakup unless he was talking to someone about how they grew up listening to the Rheostatics, or started a band because of them, or sang their songs when stuck in the wilderness.
Finally... finally, I recognized the first notes of Record Body Count. Bidini played quietly, and Martin sang hoarsely, the house lights golden dim with a bright spotlight on the Rheostatics, and it felt like a huge bush party around a camp fire, singing. I wondered if maybe this was why they'd chosen the beer-less Massey Hall, for a vision of this campfire moment with all their loyal fans singing with along all our might, as if our voices could keep them together, keep them from leaving us behind... I think maybe they had that moment planned all along. I wondered how the last lyric would hang in the great open space above us, the line about "Joey stepped up on the block of ice, put a rope around his neck, fell asleep before he died." It's an awfully morbid ending, but Martin deftly added a Tom Green sort of IEECE accent and a yo-yo-Homey hand gesture for comic relief, and those morbid last words floated painlessly in the air.
* * *
After such a brilliant culmination of their career, we left and took the streetcar home. I've never ridden a streetcar before, and I expected it to be kind of retro with wooden seats, but no. It's just like a really long bus. Anyways, around Spadina, it stopped suddenly, and everyone started looking to one side. Being nosy, I did too, and watched a big black SUV back up across the road, hit a parked car and drive away. We waited for the streetcar to start moving again but it didn't. Finally we went up to the small crowd around the driver. Apparently the streetcar hit that big black SUV when it had its nose in the middle of the street, and the SUV proceeded to hit that parked car not once but THREE times. Someone speculated that the SUV driver must have been drunk.
It suddenly struck me that I could have been killed (not really, but theoretically), that a drunk driver could prevent me from getting back to Swee'pea and Sugar Daddy, that other children say goodbye to their parents thinking they'll see them in a few hours and never do. The streetcar was broken I guess, so we got off and took a cab, which was also a bit hairy. At one point, we were stopped at a light for a long time, and I noticed a woman sitting on a big black garbage bag, another one beside her. She was smoking a cigarette and looking around, enormous bruise-coloured circles around her eyes, which suddenly rolled back in her head. She blinked and her eyes were normal again, but she was clearly out of it. And I found myself wondering if she had kids, somewhere out there, wondering where she was, and I wondered about what experiences exactly separated us, that I was in this cab looking at her, and she wasn't noticing. I felt very disturbed, wondering what her life was like.
But I got home to Swee'pea and Sugar Daddy safely, and dreamed of Tim Vesely and Martin Tielli, their songs playing in my head all night long.
* * *
Thank you Sage. The night will linger in my memory like the music in my dreams last night, maybe even as long as the indents in my knees.

"18 Fantasy Authors to Read Instead of J.K. Rowling" by Ed ChampionAlright, that's enough.
"18 More Fantasy Authors to Read Instead of J.K. Rowling" by Gwenda Bond
"Adults Who Read Harry Potter: Yea or Nay?" by Scott Esposito
I actually don't have anything against the Harry Potter books, as long as they're not touted as the greatest things to ever be printed. I've read the first four, and found the first three of those quite entertaining, particularly the third. The fourth I thought was tedious, but I know 12-year-olds who were riveted. I'll get to the fifth one of these days.
It's fun to see kids excited by books, to see them enchanted by stories and characters. There's something unsavory about scoffing at it all and being a Great Big Grump saying, "Well, child, one of these days you'll realize how much of your life you have wasted on those silly things when you could have been reading a real writer, like Harold Bloom."
Adults are a different story. Nothing wrong with adults reading books aimed at kids (just this week I read Thirsty by M.T. Anderson, which Kelly Link had kindly sent me a while ago, and which is a remarkable book in many ways, with quite a lot more bite than Harry Potter [ugh, sorry]), but I have been frustrated by some friends of mine who've read the Potter books avidly and have then gone on to associate all fantasy novels with kidlit. I gave one a copy of Jeff VanderMeer's Secret Life, because I thought she'd appreciate the variety of stories, the language, the playfulness with form, the seriousness of intent -- and her response was to think the book was for her 13-year-old son. Her loss.
There have been times when I've been asked by people what their kids might like if they like Harry Potter, and the question usually puts me at a loss, because I don't know much about children's literature, and so end up saying things like, "Well, there's always Dante," and getting horrified looks. So here are a few links gathered by Googling the phrase "If you like Harry Potter":
Links to various librarians' lists of books for kids who like Harry PotterI'd love to know what people would recommend as the very next book a child or teen should read after they've read all the Harry Potters (adults should just go to Ed and Gwenda's lists). Put ideas in the comments below and in a few days I'll make a list of them all and put it up as a post. (I can just imagine what some people will suggest: Bleak House ... 120 Days of Sodom ... The German Ideology...)

Honesty about "the end"
Susan pointed this out to me and it popped on my Google News feed about neuroblastoma as well. If you look hard enough you can find a lot of stories/biographies about kids with neuroblastoma and other cancers. There are lots of smaller town papers that carry features about the kids and families that are sick in their community. You can read blogs or journals that families keep about treatment. Rarely will you find a lot of detail shared about a child's final days. Occasionally you run across a journal that lays it all out there. There is a story prominently located on The Arizona Daily Star's online service about the final days of a young boy's brave and brutal battle with neuroblastoma. This article isn't an easy read, especially if you are close to Nathan or any other child fighting this battle. It is very brave of this family to share this part of their son's story. I can't imagine a more private time and event, but it is important, I think, for people to understand the pain and brutality that cancer wreaks on these amazing and beautiful children. This family was very brave to have shared. We should honor their bravery by reading and sharing their story.

Diet Needs for Dog Being Treated for Cancer
My dog is starting on chemo for lymphoma. Do you have suggestions for a diet that might help manage any side effects or keep him from losing weight?
Erika Krick, VMD, DACVIM Veterinary Medical Oncologist, University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Hill's has a diet for dogs with cancer called n/d that you could discuss with your veterinarian. We recommend that dogs with cancer receive either a good quality commercial diet or a balanced home-cooked diet, and you can consult with your vet or a veterinary nutritionist about cooking for your dog. I do not recommend that dogs on chemotherapy eat raw meat as they are at risk for developing infections from raw meat and could even pass these infections on to their owners.

I also agree about the home scale. I got mine for about $35, and when compared to my IBCLCs it's pretty accurate, though not as exact. Hers, which runs about 1k, measures to the .05oz, and mine only goes to the .5oz.
Having said that, my son also had an ULT and PTT that wasn't found until 4.5mo of age, corrected less than two weeks ago. The other ladies are def amazing and provide great advice, but I more than understand your inability to nurse more frequently. Up until a week or so ago, I was nursing for 4-5hours after work alone, not including cosleeping and pumping. Nursing more was no longer an option. And he also was barely gaining weight. If the tie revision hadn't worked, I was considering choosing a few nursing sessions I would keep in the day, but otherwise resort to EPing. Would you consider something like that? I know it isnt ideal, but you would still get your closeness. thst also makes you a slave to the pump, though. Sorry you're going through this, mama. I really understand the frustration. Good luck In making your decision.

I have to admit: I was hoping for VAN HALEN-CON 2012. Sort of like Burning Man, but with a greater possibility of being set on fire by an errant can of Aqua Net or hassled in the parking lot by some toughs in Thom McAns. You know, a real circus. I wanted to fear for my life.
But I did not fear for my life.
Whole families, with their kids wearing Styx t-shirts, had come to see Van Halen at the Verizon Center Wednesday night. This, as the new series of t-shirts say, is the "

A lawyer who can communicate not simply in a cerebrally persuasive way, but in an emotionally gripping way, has an enormous strategic advantage. Judges, jurors, clients are all human beings and know what it means to be captivated by a narrative. This course teaches how to tell an engaging story and then how to apply those skills to a variety of legal situations. The first part of the course will cover the art of storytelling on both a theoretical and a practical track. On the theoretical track we will study story drive; structure; beginnings, middles, and endings; openings; plot and character; and transitions. We will have a healthy amount of assigned reading and viewing before each class in order to analyze each of these components in literature, drama, and film. On the practical track students will go through a series of writing exercises that parallel the theoretical discussion, to help develop storytelling skills. The second part of the course will apply those newly-acquired storytelling skills to various legal situations: Civil cases. Criminal cases. Appellate cases. Legislative proposals. Crisis management. We will have "in-class" discussion of real cases, along with assigned writing exercises.

There have been an unusual number of injured animals this year so far. Larry Krugman is the go-to veterinarian who will care for an injured animal any time of the day or night without complaining.
Every animal has a story, and the saddest ones are the animals that are hurt, usually on a highway or busy street. They are often handicapped in some way for the rest of their lives and are seldom adopted, said Doris Gumke of La Junta Animal Rescue. There have been an unusual number of injured animals this year so far.
Gumke decided to call the Tribune-Democrat when she got two injuries within a 24 hour period on Wednesday. Larry Krugman is the go-to veterinarian who will care for an injured animal any time of the day or night without complaining. He puts the cost of the treatment on record but waits until Animal Rescue can raise the money to pay the vet bill. Dale Davis, Tracy Taullie and other veterinarians have also helped when called by Animal Rescue. Once Krugman was in Pueblo when he was called; he came straight home, said Gumke. Any kind of contribution would help with their service, from pocket change to bags of food. A person can contact one of the Gumkes, who are all in the La Junta Animal Rescue volunteer organization (468-1346 or 468-1347, 1312 Adams Ave.), or simply drop off contributions at Krugman Small Animal Clinic and tell Carrie Zumwalt they are for Animal Rescue.
The two injured animals at Krugman's presently are an orange and white fluffy male tabby who is now neutered and a part pug small female dog, who appeared to be dead to two passers-by but is coming around now. She was attended by a male chihuahua who would not leave her side until she was carried away. Police and sheriff's office are on the lookout for the chihuahua, because having a companion with them often helps dogs and cats to recover. The cat had a smashed leg and will have to have the bone pinned, so he will have to be an indoor cat. The dog, if she recovers, will need to be an indoor-outdoor dog with a fenced yard.
The La Junta Pound keeps animals for only a short time before they are euthanized, but they allow Animal Rescue to transport unclaimed dogs and cats to a no-kill shelter in Colorado Springs. They take the animals to Rescue of the Rockies, a no-kill shelter which takes injured animals as well as perfect ones.
The cost of adopting an animal barely covers the cost of veterinarian services. The cost for a dog is $70, which covers shots for parvo and rabies as well as spaying or neutering. The cost for a cat is $45, which does not quite cover the cost of spaying or neutering and distemper and rabies shots.
City Attorney Phil Malouff recently found an injured cat on San Juan Ave. on his way home, called Animal Rescue, and stayed with the cat until they got there. Another cat was with the injured animal, so Animal Rescue took them both in, and eventually the Goldings adopted both of them.
A blue heeler was injured on State Highway 266 three weeks ago. Krugman met Animal Rescue at the Sheriff's office, took him in and stitched him up. This dog was not as lucky as the cat Malouff found, but survived and was taken to Rescue of the Rockies.

Sure!Jikan wrote:Hi Omoi Otoshi,
I'd like to hear more about the successes you see at TreeLeaf sangha. What are they, and how would you describe their success?
How do you talk about success when it comes to buddhism and Zen buddhist practice? I don't know. I'm not sure you can.
But I'll try to explain a little more and give some examples of why I view Treeleaf as successful. When I found Treeleaf I decided to join to see if it had anything to offer for me and my practice. I didn't really compare it to a normal brick and mortar Sangha back then, but the dharma talks seemed good and the forum friendly so I gave it a go. There isn't a Sangha within reasonable distance, so the alternative was to continue on my own. Treeleaf helped me gain some understanding of Shikantaza for the first time. Helped me realize that there wasn't anything I needed to do, or some special state to achieve/attain. That it was all there to begin with. Before, when I was practicing on my own, I was stuck for a long time in a confused practice of thought suppression and what not. So for me, for my practice, Treeleaf and its teachers was a major turning point. Without listening to Jundo's and Taigu's dharma talks and replies to questions, I would also know much less about buddhism, its history, traditions and concepts. You could also say that Treeleaf has been a success story only because it is still around and even growing after all these years. In my view, Treeleaf has also been successful in challenging some ideas in a sometimes rather conservative world of Zen buddhism (whether this is positive or negative is in the eye of the beholder of course! ) During the past few years I have also seen many members change in positive ways. One member has gone from being insecure to being much more confident in himself, another doesn't suffer from as much anxiety anymore, a third has become better at dealing with anger and so on. I would even say that some members are seeing more clearly (but I wouldn't be the best judge of that, so take with a pinch of salt!). Many members have found the Zazenkais, sewing sessions, chats, sittings on G+ and so on to be a great support and motivation for their practice. I'm still surprised at the collective wisdom in some of the discussions at Treeleaf. No matter what question or problem, there's always someone around to share their own experiences, suggest a way forward, see things from a different perspective or offer a word of comfort. Some people who have practiced in another Sangha and then come to Treeleaf say that the teacher presence is very high at Treeleaf. And last but not least, Treeleaf has so far produced some very promising Unsui (hi Myozan! ). If they continue in the same way, they will be great teachers one day! For some members though, Treeleaf and its teachers hasn't been what they have been searching for. I'm sorry for that, but I guess it is to be expected. I don't think any teacher or teaching place is right for all people.

Prostate Cancer and Fish Oil Supplementation - Absolutely No Association Demonstrated
By David Seaman, DC, MS, DABCN
Recently there has been a surge in media coverage regarding a study that allegedly examined the effects of fish oil supplementation on prostate cancer expression.1 Quite to the contrary, the subjects in this study were not supplemented with fish oil or put on a fish-rich diet, which means it is completely inappropriate to suggest that such would cause prostate cancer.
The authors explain that they did a blood test on 834 subjects who developed prostate cancer in the SELECT Trial and measured fatty acids in plasma phospholipids.1 The SELECT Trial examined how supplemental selenium and vitamin E would impact the expression of prostate cancer.2 Table 1 outlines the outcome of that study. At most, there is a 1 percent greater risk of developing prostate cancer if one supplements with vitamin E. However, news reports that came out after SELECT was published implied that vitamin E and selenium supplements are a cause of prostate cancer. The appropriate conclusion is that these supplements are ineffective as a monotherapy for prostate cancer prevention.
While the .04 percent higher level of EPA and the .1 percent higher level of DHA in cancer subjects may be statistically significant, the clinical relevance of such small differences remains unknown and was not discussed in the paper. Despite this unknown, news reports irresponsibly suggested that consuming fish and fish oil supplements may be a cause of prostate cancer and that men should be careful not to eat too much fish.
Unfortunately, the media scare about eating fish and taking fish oil has been pervasive. Why would the media be so irresponsible? Either it is due to ignorance and/or perhaps a new prostate-cancer treating / preventing medication may be in the works. This notion may not be so far-fetched; consider that statins are now often recommended as a preventive strategy for people with total cholesterol below 200 mg/dl.

LetNet needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 194 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
LetNet 2
We are currently finishing our Windows application and are now looking for the final style/skin for the user interface. Our application combines; Internet, Email, Solitaire, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos and Backup into one single easy usable application.
Our users have never used a computer, are elderly or have some kind of disability. It is crucial that the design is simple, easy readable and has a pure style.
KEYNOTE: Less is more...
We wan't a lightweight design where Black is NOT a must. If possible it would be nice if the main color of the design is changeable (so the user can select theme color). But this is not a must.
The task is: Create a new astonishing style (skin) to replace the current temporary skin.
After picking a winning design we expect
a new PSD/AI file for each attached Page/Dialog (see Files.zip) showing the new style/skin applied. These files will be used to implement the new skin.
During the contest skinning pages/dialogs number: 01, 04, 05, 08, 11, 12, 23, 25 and 28 would be sufficient.
Besides the updated attached screenshots we need a design proposal with the new skin of a:
- Back up Page (Create and Recover)
- Settings Page (multiple options/settings)
Furthermore remember to provide design proposals for the different controls and their states (Normal, Highlight, Pressed, Disabled and Selected).
Used Controls are:
- Normal Button
- Footer Button
- Toolbar Button
- ToggleButton
- TabButton (Toolbar for panel)
- Close Button
- Minimize Button
- TextBox
- ListBox
- ListView
- Checkbox
- Circle Progress Control
- By use of other Icons/Images, royalty must be acquirable.
- It is ok to change color and size of Logo and Icons
- The application is fullscreen and scalable (Minimum size is 1024x768 pxl).
- Icons and buttons should be kept in one size while the working area resizes.
- The application is multilanguage so based on language text length changes.
- The card deck in solitaire should not be changed, only the back of the card...
If you have further questions don't hesitate to contact us...

The Hartley High School baseball team has been out to prove that its lack of recent CCL success and its poor start to this season aren't going to continue.
The Hartley High School baseball team has been out to prove that its lack of recent CCL success and its poor start to this season aren't going to continue.
After struggles on the mound and poor defense caused them to lose their opener 16-2 to Newark on April 2 and after falling 12-9 to Dublin Scioto the next day, the Hawks found their rhythm heading into league play.
Hartley was 7-3 overall before opening league action April 22 against DeSales and playing league-foe Ready on April 23.
"We're better than we were last year," said coach Morgan Assmann, whose team went 6-15 overall and 0-8 in the CCL last season. "We've shown signs of greatness and shown signs of weakness. We've got a chip on our shoulder after going 0-8 last year. We will definitely win a league game this year. Our motto is that we're 'all in.' We are putting everything on the table."
Part of the turnaround has been sparked by senior Luke Heinmiller.
Although he started and picked up the loss against Newark, he was 3-1 before the DeSales game. He pitched a four-hitter in an 8-1 win over Marion Harding on April 18.
Now in his fourth season on varsity and the No. 3 hitter in the lineup, Heinmiller plays second or third base when he's not pitching.
"The last few games we've been pretty happy," Heinmiller said. "We've been playing well and hitting the ball. I feel like we're more confident this year. We like to have fun, but we keep it serious at the same time. We're all good friends and that helps us play better.
"I feel like the first game was rough, but I've found it since then and have thrown strikes. I just have to make sure I'm being smooth with my delivery and throwing strikes."
Junior Andrew Gilliland has been another key starting pitcher. He bats leadoff and also plays second base.
Senior Caleb Lowell (C) bats cleanup, followed by sophomore Cameron Macioce (3B) and senior Sam Montgomery (OF).
Sophomore Adam Lowe (SS) has been another key offensive contributor while batting ninth.
"Defensively, with Sam Montgomery in center, (junior) Drew Onega in left and (senior) Alex Rupert in right, we've been solid," Assmann said.Close losses, injurieshurting softball team
The softball team had lost five games by one run and one game by two runs and was 7-7 overall and 1-1 in the CCL before playing DeSales on April 22 and Ready on April 24.
On April 18, the Hawks fell to Pickerington Central 8-7, but they bounced back by beating Whitehall 15-9 and Hilliard Darby 11-5 at home April 20.
In addition to its struggles in tight games, Hartley has two freshmen in its lineup because of injuries.
"We've had some really odd injuries and some concussions," coach Meghan Zuercher said. "(Junior outfielder) Mariah Rock is out of the lineup. Earlier in the season I would have said that we were making way too many errors, but our defense is definitely improving."
Senior Allie Smith (CF) and juniors Kristen Culbertson (3B), Cassie Plageman (C) and Sidney Melton (SS) all have been key contributors on offense.
The Hawks are playing without senior Anna Kirk, an Ohio State signee who has been out all season with a knee injury but could return late in the season as a designated player.
"Allie Smith has had a tremendous start to the year," Zuercher said. "It's really refreshing to see a kid work that hard and be rewarded. She's had a lot of extra-base hits and has made some great defensive plays. Cassie Plageman has had a tremendous year."Boys tennis teambattles low numbers
With just four players out, the boys tennis team knows it will be difficult to win many matches this season.
The Hawks were 0-4 before playing Fisher Catholic on April 22.
"We are short on players," said first-year coach Naveen Das, who was the junior varsity coach at Reynoldsburg last season. "They're all very good kids. The biggest issue is finding guys to play in matches."
Senior Steph Toone is playing first singles, with junior Andrew Nouanesengsy at second singles.
The other players on the team are seniors Stu Burkett and Tyler Shaffer.
The Hawks opened with losses to CCL-foe St. Charles (3-0 on April 9), Grandview (3-0 on April 15), Madison Christian (2-1 on April 18) and Grove City (3-0 on April 19). Their league match against Ready on April 16 was postponed.
Last year, Hartley went 0-12 overall and 0-4 in the CCL under former coach Mike Graham, who stepped down after his 14th season. DeSales was first in the league at 4-0, followed by St. Charles (3-1), Watterson (2-2) and Ready (1-3). The Hawks didn't have any players advance to the Division II district tournament.

RBC Precision Products latest recipient of the 'Pride of Bremen' distinction
BREMEN — A local business is the most recent recipient of the local beautification accolade, the Pride of Bremen Award. The honor was established more than 16 years ago and is given to owners of homes and businesses in the community who have made improvements to make the structures and land more attractive. The nominees are suggested by town board members, and other town officials or residents.
RBC Precision Products at 225 Industrial Drive in Bremen earned the distinction and displayed the board heralding the honor in front of the business. RBC Bearings was founded in 1919 and acquired (RBC) Precision Products in 1998. The business manufactures various precision Pins, Rollers and Shafts for industrial, aerospace and defense customers worldwide, and has been featured in Machine Design magazine.
RBC Manufacturing Manager Don Poeppel said the company "embraced the project of making the business 'customer friendly' in 2010" and improvements began. Those changes included accessing new electrical power from the street to the main electrical panels. All old transformers and power poles were replaced in that process with underground wiring and new transformers.
New roofs were put on the office and main building and addition was built to the southeast corner or the main building. Major metal defects and gutters repaired were also repaired and the overhaul included a final step of priming and painting the entire building with a three-color scheme for RBC.
The operations leadership group of the Bremen location consists of Brett Blauner, Don Poeppel, Billi Miley, Bob Horvath, Chris Wright, Donn Jensen and Sue Peto.
But the work done that made the business more attractive and thus earned them the town honor was credited not to the people in charge of the improvements and business' operations — and not even to the contractors that actually made the improvements (Ancon Construction, Lakeside LLC, and Colorbill).
"The employees were the most important in the improvements and upgrades," said Poeppel. "Their hard work and dedication enabled the company to invest in the improvements to our factory."

WASHINGTON — Senior Army officials warned Tuesday they may have to cut more than 100,000 additional soldiers over the next decade unless automatic spending reductions forcing the military services to slash their budgets are stopped.
Testifying before a Senate committee, Army Secretary John McHugh said the losses would undermine the service's ability to be prepared for wartime missions. "Today we find our Army at a dangerous crossroads," McHugh said.
The Army has already planned to trim its ranks from a wartime footing of 570,000 soldiers to 490,000 due to previously planned budget reductions approved by Congress in 2011, according to McHugh said.
But if the automatic cuts, known as sequestration, are extended into future years, tens of thousands more soldiers, including members of the Army National Guard and Reserve, will have to be let go due to a lack of money, he said.
Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army's chief of staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee the 100,000 is the minimum number and the additional reductions could be
even greater. "The cuts are simply too steep," he said.
Sequestration went into effect March 1. Overall, the Defense Department is required to cut nearly $42 billion by the end of September. If no action is taken to reverse sequestration, the cuts will continue into future years. The Army's share of the automatic cuts over the next six months is $7.6 billion.
In addition to sequestration, the military also has to absorb a $487 billion reduction in defense spending over the next 10 years mandated by the Budget Control Act passed in 2011.
Fewer soldiers won't translate into cost savings because the departing troops will have to be paid separation benefits, Odierno said.
"If we cut another 100,000 out, we put into question our ability to respond to large scale contingencies," Odierno said.
During an exchange with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Odierno said the Army is heading toward becoming "hollow," a term used to describe a force that looks good on paper but lacks adequately trained troops and modern equipment.

I've Adopted a Nazi! Reconstruction Needed.
I haven't been spending much time around here lately, (no real reason), but I've aquired a rifle that might get a little interest and hopefully advice from some of Y'all.
It's a 1943, K-98, bring-back. Numbers on everything are matching, but as you can see, the fore-stock has been amputated and I'm missing the front barrel band and bayonet lug -- and cleaning rod.
Whoever cut the stock simply used a knife, and made no effort to smooth the job. Aside from that, the old girl cleaned up pretty nicely, and function is perfect. The bore is nothing to brag about, but I scrubbed the heck out of it with PB Blaster and a stainless brush. (I know, somaya probly think that's crazy, but I disagree)
Instead of buying shells, I bought a few things needed to reload for it, and after cranking out a fairly gentle basic load, we went to my excuse for a range.
My "rock solid" shooting bench.
This first target was at fifty yards, and the group measured 2 3/4".
This next one was shot at 100 yds., and six shots measured 3 3/4".
I frankly don't know if I can do much better than that with these particular open sights, and after reading a thread further down on this page, it doesn't seem that most other folks do either. If anything, the bore looks better after shooting, and I think I've blasted quite a bit of the rust out of it.
I'd love to do a stock fix on this gun, and save this stock which is numbered with the rest of the rifle, but if that doesn't work out, I'm in the market for a complete stock replacement. I'd love to hear any coments/advice from folks who are mo-expert than me in the Mauser department. jd

Nice find! Since the stock and the rest of the rifle is matching it is definitely worth saving. I would try to find a junk Mauser stock to cut the forend off of and splice it under the rear barrel band the same way you would repair a duffle cut rifle.

You might find lots of seasoned Mauser owners at both "Gunboards" and "Surplusrifle".
There should also be a website which is about Mauser rifles.

That looks just like the rifle they got Tom Hanks with! Might that be a 'HollyWood' bring back?

If it weren't for the matching numbers I'd think this was a Russian capture...

Agree with tater, a replacement foreend tip and front band would preserve the matching numbers. And it would just look like one with a "barracks bag cut" made on a lot of souvenir rifles.

Looks like a keeper to me. Refurbish the stock or go ahead and make a sporter out of it - your choice. Improved sights will likely tighten those groups, especially if you carefully worked up loads for it.
Whatever you choose to do about the stock, DO check the fit of the action in it. Often, accuracy improvements can be made simply by adding a shim between the recoil shoulder on the receiver (bottom) and the stock crossbolt. Many of these rifles have NO contact between the two, which is never good for accuracy....and tends to promote stock splitting (as all the recoil forces go into the tang area, in that circumstance). Glass-bedding the action (though NOT to be done if keeping the rifle all original) can make a BIG difference as well.

I've done a little more work on this rifle since I posted. Basically it needed a system (besides black tape) to hold the barrel band and hand guard in place.
I went ahead and cut the stock back at the barrel band, and made a steel cap that fastens on the end with a screw that threads into an aluminum lug that I implanted in the cleaning rod tunnel. It works great, and after a little finish shaping, I'll put up a few pics.
This project is all reversable if and when I find a suitable forend replacement, but for now allows me to shoot and handle the rifle and use a sling without the forend falling apart. jd

Are either of them period correct for my rifle? Are you interested in wheeling, dealing, trading? Shoot me a PM if so. Thanx. jd

Great looking rifle and a fun project! Congrats! Be patient and you'll find what you need to put this back together again!
My father-in-law was in the 34th Division during the war - N. Africa, Italy, Germany - had a pretty rough time. He wouldn't talk much about it but he did tell me that he brought one of these home with him. He evidently sold it to a co-worker in the DNR who "sporterized" it and hunted with it for many years, taking quite a few whitetails with it. He sold it years before my wife and I started going together. I wish I had that rifle now - sporterized or not - just for the sentimental value of it.
Good luck with your project and I hope you'll show some photos of it once you get it back to original shape. Thanks for sharing!
If a pair of '51 Navies were good enough for Billy Hickok, then a single Navy on my right hip is good enough for me . . . besides . . . I'm probably only half as good as he was anyways. Hiram's Rangers Badge #63

Montero's HR in 10th caps D-backs' late charge
PHOENIX -- With his first swing to lead off the bottom of the 10th, D-backs catcher Miguel Montero tried to do too much.
"The first couple of pitches, couple of swings, it was typical -- swinging pretty hard at it trying to launch one," Montero said.View Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- With his first swing to lead off the bottom of the 10th, D-backs catcher Miguel Montero tried to do too much.
"The first couple of pitches, couple of swings, it was typical -- swinging pretty hard at it trying to launch one," Montero said.View Full Game Coverage
With the count 1-2, he went into defensive mode at the plate, just trying to make contact and put the ball in play.
So, naturally, that was when he ended up launching one -- a towering home run to right that led the D-backs to a 5-4 walk-off win over the Rockies on Wednesday night at Chase Field.
"I was trying to do a little too much on the first couple of swings, and the third one was the charm," Montero said. "It's a funny game."
Forgive Montero for not realizing that there were only two swings and not three, because there haven't been many laughs at Chase Field this year, as the D-backs won for just the third time in 18 home games.
This one felt good, and not just because it snapped a four-game losing streak, but because it seemed so improbable.
The D-backs' offense could do little with Rockies starter Jordan Lyles, who held Arizona to one hit through five innings.
Meanwhile, the Rockies were building a 4-0 lead against Josh Collmenter, and though that seemed like it would be enough, manager Walt Weiss knew better.
"I felt like we needed to add on," Weiss said. "Collmenter did a good job of settling in and keeping us there. [Trevor] Cahill came in and did a good job. I felt like we needed to tack on a few there."
Still the Rockies carried a 4-2 lead into the ninth inning.
In fact, they held that lead with two outs, a runner on first and an 0-2 count on pinch-hitter Chris Owings.
But Rex Brothers could not put away Owings, who lined a double to right to put runners on second and third. Brothers loaded the bases when he hit Gerardo Parra with a pitch.
Yet again the Rockies were in control when Brothers got ahead of Martin Prado 0-2.
"I just went to home plate with the plan that I had the whole game -- just thinking about that at-bat," Prado said. "I wasn't thinking about the last four at-bats that I had. It was me just thinking this is going to be my last at-bat. I was just going there trying to find a good pitch to hit. He threw me a fastball down the middle and I took it. He made a good pitch after that and I fouled it off. He threw a slider, and fortunately for me, I could handle that pitch."
Indeed, Prado laced it back up the middle to score a pair of runs and tie the game.
"That was the game right there, the ninth-inning rally," Montero said. "We had probably three guys with two strikes and they battled and they got the hits. Parra got the hit-by-pitch, it was a tough at-bat against a lefty and Martin, an 0-2 count and he put a good swing on it and back through the middle. So that was pretty much the game right there."
But there was still work to be done, and it looked like trouble for the D-backs when pinch-hitter Corey Dickerson blooped a double to left to open the 10th against closer Addison Reed.
A sacrifice bunt moved Dickerson to third, but Reed struck out Drew Stubbs and got Carlos Gonzalez to line out to center to end the threat.
Though it was Montero that came up with the game-winner, it was Prado that everyone felt the best for in the clubhouse.
Prado has not had a great month at the plate, and he has put so much pressure on himself to do well that manager Kirk Gibson and some of his teammates have encouraged Prado to take it easy.
"I feel like in situations like that, everybody in this locker room needs me in that moment, so I'm trying to do the best that I can to make the pitcher have a tough time," Prado said of his mindset going into the ninth-inning at-bat. "When you give the pitcher a tough time, they know that and your teammates respect that. I hope they respect that every time I go there, I want to step up for my team."
Wednesday he did just that.

Greek Software Translation
- Home
- Resources
- Greek Translation Quick Facts
- Greek Software Translation
In order to ensure that your Greek software translation is accurate and fully adapted to Greece, you must have your software fully "globalized." While the term "globalization" has many definitions outside of the translation services industry, inside the industry it refers to the basic process of creating software that functions in any market in the world.
Not every translation company is equipped to perform Greek software translation, with its many complexities. When searching for a company to translate your software into Greek, you should investigate their capabilities in the following areas:
1. Greek Software Translators
Greek software translation projects should be executed by professional, native-speaking software translators who specialize in the specific professional and technical areas of your company. They should be experienced with issues related to software translation in particular, such as the proper translation of dialog boxes, error messages, and buttons, standard user interface terminology, and software localization workflows.
2. Greek Software Terminology Management
Greek software translators should utilize translation memory tools such as Trados to translate the text strings that have been externalized from the various file formats, resulting in client-specific glossaries and terminology databases. The valuable data contained in the translation memories, which becomes the proprietary property of the client, ensures consistent translations throughout the components, and creates an authentic user experience.
3. Greek Software Component Translation
Frequently, a Greek software translation project will also involve translation of related components such as online help and printed documentation such as user guides or packaging. Your software translation company should have the capability to translate text from such source files as Java, VB and ASP, XML and ASP, C/C++, Visual Basic, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and others. Common documentation file types include FrameMaker, InDesign, QuarkXpress, Illustrator, and Word.
For more information on Software Translation, please see our Quick Facts Library or follow one of the links listed above.

Safari en el País de las Sombras (1975)
Antonio Pérez Barrera drew the comic strip 'El príncipe Dani' for Rin-tin-tin by Editorial Marco in the 1960s. He is most likely the artist behind the signature A. Pérez, who drew for other comics published by Marco and Toray in the 1960s, such as 'Simba-Kan, Rey de los Leones', 'Alerta' and 'Sioux'.
Pérez Barrera was the illustrator of the comic adaptation of Mayne Reid's 'Safari en el País de las Sombras' for the Bruguera collection 'Joyas Literarias Juveniles' in 1975 (script by José Antonio Vidal Sales). In the 1980s, the name of A. Pérez appeared in the German horror comic book Gespenster Geschichten, published by Bastei Verlag.

The Governor has finally released his abortion proposal, as part of a "Women's Equality Act". The Cardinal and his brother Bishops have issued a strong and clear statement on the bill. The Bishops make clear that they are eager to support measures that would really enhance the lives of women in our state. But they also make clear that the abortion component is totally unacceptable, and is, in effect, a stealth abortion expansion bill.
I urge everyone to read that statement, and then take action to oppose this proposal. But there are a couple of things that I would like to add on my own behalf, because there are some inaccurate things being said by promoters of the bill - principally the allegation that it merely "codifies federal law" by enacting the standards set in the infamous Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade.
Actually, Roe v. Wade is no longer the controlling federal constitutional standard on abortion. It's important to understand a bit of the history here, to get why this matters so much. The legal standard established in Roe was very liberal, and courts used it to strike down virtually every abortion regulation passed by state legislatures. But as time went along, the Supreme Court backed away from the extremism of Roe, and eventually adopted a standard that permitted more leeway for states to regulate abortion. This led to the 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which purported to retain the "central holding" of Roe, but which actually transformed the applicable legal standard in a way that made it somewhat more possible for states to regulate abortion successfully.
So if the goal is really to "codify" current federal constitutional law on abortion, a reference to Roe is completely misplaced. (Just to be clear, we would also oppose even a codification of the Casey standard, since that permits the unjust oppression of unborn children, particularly before viability.)
This is not just a lawyer's quibble - it really matters in practice. This proposal would actually codify the high-water mark of liberal abortion law, and ignore the subsequent legal developments that have pared that standard back. It would lock in place an abortion law that is extremely permissive and hostile to any attempt to regulate or restrict the practice in any way.
In addition, the proposal not only ignores the current constitutional standard, it also ignores other important developments that have already been codified in federal law - like the Hyde Amendment (restrictions on public funding), the partial birth abortion ban, the criminalization of violence against unborn children (Lacy and Conner's Law), and more robust conscience protections (like the Church Amendment and the Hyde-Weldon Amendment).
So this proposal cherry-picks federal law, selecting only the liberalized pro-abortion elements that the advocates want, and rejecting the reasonable pro-life elements that they consistently oppose whenever they appear.
If the bill really doesn't expand abortion rights, then what purpose does it serve, and why are the pro-abortion advocates so enthusiastic about it? The fact is, this bill would permit abortion for any reason up to the moment of birth, it would allow non-doctors to do abortions, it could coerce cooperation with abortion by those with moral objections, and it would eliminate any chance of reasonable regulations of abortion.
This bill would give the pro-abortion advocates just about everything they've ever dreamed of - a more permissive environment for abortion, with virtually no legal limits.
