Try your search again, but first:
Slurry cells can also limit the overall pace of production, as only a small and finite number of cells can be built and filled simultaneously. It takes time to fill a cell, and even longer for deposited solids to dewater so that a cell can be covered to create space for a new layer in the same impoundment.
There are few alternatives to refuse impoundments and the slow solids densification of a typical slurry cell. These alternatives offer the advantage of limiting the active footprint of a coal waste disposal site, with primary alternatives including:
Filtration using twin belt filter presses or vacuum filters to remove sufficient water to make waste solids easily conveyed or hauled away. Paste, or deep cone thickening, to increase refuse slurry specific gravity before the refuse slurry is deposited in the impoundment to speed up the process of refuse dewatering. While these options can ease waste slurry management issues and prolong the life of scarce impoundment space, they also have significant drawbacks, including high capital start-up, labor and maintenance costs, and limited operational flexibility.

Developing Digital/ Social Personas to start your Social Strategy
[Cross-posted from Teehan+Lax]
As the social space matures and companies recognize that they can no longer afford to ignore the "fad" that is social media, a common theme we keep hearing is: who and where are people who want to communicate with us, and whom we should be listening to and focusing our content development on?
As part of the process we've developed for formulating a solid and sustainable social strategy for brands, we typically start with developing a Digital/ Social Persona to help guide the engagement and communications strategy. While Personas are common in advertising and UX circles, they are relatively unique within social media as most practitioners will just tell you to "start listening". While this is absolutely key to understanding and getting involved, it doesn't provide a roadmap for long-term planning and engagement.
A persona doesn't replace interacting directly with your customers, however it does give brands an understanding of how their customers are using digital media in all its forms, how they are interacting and engaging with complementary brands, the types of content that resonate with them, and a sense of where the brand "fits" (or could fit) within their online life. It also clearly demonstrates where it falls down, or neglects an important aspect.
In our experience, having this information, backed by thorough data and research, immediately illustrates where traditional communications fall short and why they should invest in 1-to-1 interaction and content development to remain relevant. It also begins to start the process of thinking about what true integration and touchpoints mean on a larger level.
We have a system we use to develop these personas with both qualitative and quantitative research, and with each iteration or new project find new ways to get to know the "persona" of the composite individual we're modeling. I have a firm belief that with the amount of data we are collectively collecting in the digital realm helping companies make sense of it all and truly understand who their customers and prospects are will become both easier and more difficult. :)
For my social media friends out there – what types of practices do you use to help your clients get to know their customer?

The idea of creating a persona is very original. It is clear from this post that a lot of success has already been achieved through this method. Social media is currently a buzz word and most businesses are not comfortable interacting within this medium. Creating and using a persona is a good idea. Thank you for the article.

As the marriage bill heads to the U.K. House of Lords for its second reading, Roger Lancaster contributes an anthropological perspective on marriage as a labile institution, designed to meet societal needs and necessarily not tethered to a heterosexual dyad in his latest Huffington Post article. His words offer a trenchant rebuttal to the director of Catholic Voices and the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose positions all appear in a provocative and engaging new volume: The Meaning of Matrimony, just published by Civitas. The UK debate coincides with anticipation that the U.S. highest court will rule on Windsor v. U.S. – Defense of Marriage Act before the term ends in late June.
In addition to this newly released volume, AAA is keeping anthropological perspectives at the forefront of these debates in the debut issue of Open Anthropology, a compilation of 11 articles that similarly show how mutable and varied domestic arrangements are.

Pre Brad. Pre mother of 37 children. This 2000 portrait of Angelina for British GQ was created with 3 lights. Soft lights.
Camera: Pentax 67 with 90mm lens and Kodak Portra 100 negative film, set on a tripod 8 feet back. Shot at 1/30, f5.6, ISO 100. The image was color, then scanned and converted to b&w.
Lighting: The key light is a large octabank at f5.6 boomed directly over camera and angled slightly downward. The two large soft boxes at f11 (+2 stops) positioned behind the frame with a full silk create the softly glowing, white background and also add the highlights on Angelina's cheeks and torso.
Comments: Angelina flew herself to the shoot in a Cirrus SR-22 single piston engine aircraft, which she ejected from and let crash into the ocean. While parachuting toward the studio, she changed into wardrobe, applied makeup and curled her hair. She then cut the chute, shattered through an oversized skylight, landed upright, brushed off any stray chards of glass, winked to Antoine and said, "let's do this bitch, Ant."

Hammond's Opel Kadett A is broken. Which may come as a bit of a surprise, because in the broiling African heat, "Oliver" survived a shotgun wound, a lake, and a Jeremy Clarkson. But weirdly, once it landed in Britain, it became a perennial shambles - the bodywork decayed like a soft pear, and its antiquated mechanicals ground themselves to a powder. Which is precisely why Richard decided to undertake a colossal once-and-for-all rebuild. And why photographer Rowan and I have just entered into negotiations with a German dressed like a 19th century Lord.
Allow us to explain. Hammond is in desperate need of parts so he can finish Oliver's latest resurrection. And they're excruciatingly rare. In a bid to gather up everything he needs, we've been sent to harvest the world's biggest classic car show - Techno Classica in Essen, Germany - for the elusive bits.
Admittedly, driving through five countries to fetch some oily car parts seems a tad excessive. Largely because it is. But as Richard will testify, the bits he's after (chromework, and infinitesimally small steering gubbins) are beyond rare. GM's long since turned the parts presses into Zafiras, and the Rohan-trousered car club set's drawn a blank too. So he's left with one solitary option - rummaging through the murky world of autojumbles at classic car shows. Or rather sending us to do it for him.
Mercifully, the Techno Classica has a very big autojumble. There are 1,200 jumblists, and some of the vendors have even taken the trouble to separate the bits into era, marque and model. Which is a Good Thing, because it's fiendishly easy to mistake an oily lump of iron that'll make Oliver work for an oily lump of iron that'll fix some pre-Byzantine contraption where you have to go outside to change gear.
Unmercifully, there are a number of distractions. Currywurst for one. And more than 15,000 classic cars. Whatever your poison - from Amphicar to Zundapp - you'll find it at Essen. And nearly everything's for sale, which provides the sort of temptation that'll turn the red mist of excitement into a bruised credit card. Add to that the fact that even a perfunctory one-minute glance across each trestle table of tat wouldrequire an investment of 20 hours. Rather more than the morning we'd allotted to find what we needed.
Nevertheless, we traipsed through 12 colossal halls in search of the illusive chrome/steering gubbins. Past Steve McQueen's very own slate-grey Porsche 911S. Past the bitter sight of a dozen original Minis on BMW's stand. And a brace of pre-War Bentleys on VW's. And past several profoundly odd car club displays, many of which featured mannequins dressed as if they'd recently escape from an erotic nightmare.
Grunting extravagantly, we arrived at a brochure vendor. Taking stock, we leafed through a selection of Dutch language marketing bumf that smelled of the elderly. To our surprise there was an Opel Kadett A pamphlet, announcing it as Economisch! Ruim! Pittig! Handig! Clearly a bargain at a piffling 10 Euros, we had it away and moved on.
We were (almost literally) miles from the shiny manufacturer displays and top-dollar classic car dealers, and very much in the heavy breathing area of Das Autojumble. This is a place where you have to duck under low-hung rocker covers and dustblown Mota Lita steering wheels, which lends the whole enterprise a sense of luck discovery. Even more so when you brush aside some Humber Hawk gudgeon pins and unearth a full set Opel Kadett A ball joints - the very bits we'd been sent to find. Then, just a few feet away, a mound of familiar chrome trim….
Trouble was, the shiny stuff wasn't priced. And this stall - which also sold a Dinky toy Kadett for 140 Euros (no, really) - looked a bit high end. As did its proprietor. Wearing plus fours, waistcoat, tweed jacket and a red suede baker boy hat, he was a stunning demonstration that money and taste don't always - or often - go together. But he did have the parts we needed and a good grasp of English, and eventually sold us the parts for what he described as "very good price".
Unbelievably, our ambitious mission was uncharacteristically un-rubbish. And we'll be presenting our findings to Hammond and his soon-to-be fixed Kadett in a few weeks. Stay tuned, and click through our Essen gallery in the interim. The next time you'll hear from Oliver he'll not be broken any more…

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors who have a gut feeling about a serious infection in a child should take action on that intuition, according to a new study.
Latest Healthy Kids News
In young children, serious infection is often hard to diagnose and can be "like finding a needle in a haystack," according to background information in the report, which was published online Sept. 25 in the journal BMJ. A doctor's intuition that something is seriously wrong may have more diagnostic value than many symptoms and signs, the report suggested.
For the study, researchers in England and Belgium looked at nearly 3,900 children aged 16 and younger in Belgium, who were assessed by primary care doctors in 2004. Of those children, 21 were later admitted to the hospital with a serious infection. Nine of those 21 were not referred for further care after the initial primary care assessment, even though the doctor confessed that they had a feeling that something was wrong in four of the nine cases.
A child's history of convulsions and overall appearance and breathing were the features most strongly associated with doctors having a feeling that there might be a serious infection. Parental concern that a child's illness was different than normal was another strong influence on gut feeling, the study authors noted in a journal news release.
The investigators also found that less-experienced doctors reported having a gut feeling more often than more senior doctors. But the diagnostic power of a gut feeling was no better in experienced than non-experienced doctors.
Medical teaching should make clear that an "inexplicable gut feeling is an important diagnostic sign and a very good reason for seeking the opinion of someone with more pediatric expertise or performing additional testing," said study author Ann Van den Bruel, of the University of Oxford in England, and colleagues.
A gut feeling should prompt doctors to conduct a full and careful examination, seek advice from a more experienced doctor, and advise parents what to do if their child's condition worsens, the researchers concluded.

June 26 marked the seventh month since my diagnosis of Stage 3B non-small cell lung cancer. Life expectancy from date of diagnosis, with treatment, is 12 to 18 months. So I'm a little shy of halfway there, if we're going by the more optimistic figure. Of course, statistics are only statistics, not a finite rule applied to everyone fighting cancer. A number of people survive far beyond that bleak prognosis; I've met some who've passed the seven-year mark, a few even making 10 years and beyond. But that's rare.
With this in mind, I feel I should be getting ready for something substantial, like a journey to some unknown destination for which one isn't quite sure what to pack. True, I feel fine, except for the cough and some shortness of breath. Much of my energy has returned, I'm sleeping well again, don't have a fever and my scalp is sprouting baby-fine fuzz, which just may turn into a full head of hair.
My wife, Joan, and I had a small crowd over for a barbecue yesterday. All day, I received compliments of, "You look great!" Each sounded sincere, if slightly surprised. The unspoken subtext seemed to be, "and you have cancer?"
The other thing people openly marvel at is that I continue to work. I have financial responsibilities requiring me to keep that job, but also, what else would I do? With the exception of the few days recovering after chemo treatments, there's been no good reason to stay home. Life is comprised of the whole experience, not just the vacations away from work. And … work really does make these long weekends extra special.
All my life, I've eagerly anticipated trips to places I've never been. Joan and I are planning a road trip to Mt. Rushmore in September. We've been poring over maps and travel guides we picked up from AAA weeks ago. We're even practicing erecting and breaking down our pop-up tent in preparation.
By the day we leave, we'll hopefully be well-prepared for the trip ahead. We take as much pleasure in the planning and preparing as we do in the actual travel.
So, whether or not I'm halfway to whatever comes after this, or not, my focus is on getting ready. I'm not completely convinced there's an afterlife, or reincarnation, or anything at all following this life. None of that is within my control.
What is within my control is how much care and pleasure I take in preparation for the journey … which might not be a journey at all. And that would be true whether there were five months or 50 years left until day of departure.
Croker is a graphic design manager residing in Atwater Village. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in November 2010. This essay is taken from her blog, Sprinting Towards 60 (sprintingTowards60.com), which chronicles her experience.

Lebanon will "cooperate unstintingly" with the United Nations after Israel completes its withdrawal from the south despite disagreement over the ownership of the Shebaa farms area on the border of Lebanon, Syria and Israel, Prime Minister Selim Hoss said Tuesday.
"It is normal that Lebanon should cooperate with the UN forces to liberate our land while retaining the right to demand the return of the Shebaa farms later," he said in a statement to the press.
"We believe in international law and shall cooperate unstintingly with the international force to ensure that Israel withdraw right back to the internationally recognized frontier established by the French and British mandatory powers in 1923 and the (Lebanese-Israeli) armistice line of 1949," he said.
He added that there was no doubt that the Shebaa farms are Lebanese and "we shall not give them up and shall continue to demand them back."
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan delivered an eagerly awaited report to the UN Security Council Monday, in which he recommended upping the UN Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) from their current strength of 4,500 to 7,935.
Annan's report apparently agreed with Israel that the disputed Shebaa farms are not covered by UN Security Council Resolution 425 of 1978, which called for Israel to "withdraw forthwith its forces from all Lebanese territory," and respect Lebanon's territorial integrity.
The report said the hamlets "are in a zone occupied by Israel in 1967, and therefore come under (UN Security Council) Resolutions 242 and 338," which called for Israel to withdraw from territory seized in the war of June 1967.
Meanwhile, Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy called Tuesday on the Lebanese government to take control of southern Lebanon and send in the army as Israel's forces pull out.
"The Lebanese government must assume its responsibilities, because if not it would show that other elements dictate its behavior and would therefore be responsible," he said in a reference to Hizbollah movement.
"The Lebanese government must be responsible for those who have surrendered to its forces," he said, meaning the militiamen of the South Lebanon Army, paid and trained by Israel.
Levy issued a "warning not a threat" to Syria "not to play with fire".
"We want peace and will not accept any excuse for attacks against Israel after the withdrawal of our troops.
"I think Syria has agreed to contribute to cooling down the situation," he said.
Israel, which began withdrawing from south Lebanon Monday, has said it will launch a massive response to any cross-border attack from its northern neighbor.
Levy said "all of Israel's efforts concerning the withdrawal from Lebanon have been coordinated with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan because we would like international support for our right to self defense and do not want to remain hostage to south Lebanon."
"We contacted the United States, the Europeans, the Russians and the Asian countries and all of them understand our point of view.
"The UN Interim Force in Lebanon's job is to guarantee the peace and prevent a deterioration, but we must ensure our own security against Hizbollah."
He reminded reporters that the security cabinet had given Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who is also the defense minister, full power to decide on his own how to respond to possible attacks on Israel.
Levy said, "We may be attacked while pulling out of Lebanon, and Israel will strike with all its might the interests of those who help organizations that are hostile to us."
Hundreds of Israeli soldiers retreated from Lebanon on Monday night ahead of schedule, with their grip on the region shaken by the collapse of their militia allies – (AFP)

Tigers pick up slack in Miggy's absence
CHICAGO -- By virtue of an unorthodox schedule, the Tigers and White Sox didn't meet this season until just before the All-Star break. That means they've got 14 meetings remaining.
So, it seems, lucky for the Tigers.View Full Game Coverage
CHICAGO -- By virtue of an unorthodox schedule, the Tigers and White Sox didn't meet this season until just before the All-Star break. That means they've got 14 meetings remaining.
So, it seems, lucky for the Tigers.View Full Game Coverage
The White Sox, who actually took two of three in their first series in Detroit before the break, have made a habit this week of making life easy on the Tigers. The latest episode was a ho-hum 6-2 Tigers win on Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field, where the White Sox made a season-high four errors.
These teams have had plenty of contentious battles in the American League Central over the last decade. But with the Tigers seemingly fighting only the Indians in the division this season, the White Sox can still have a say in who wins the Central crown. Lately, they've been doing the Tigers a favor.
"Each year that I've been here and played them, they've been very, very tough defensively," Tigers starter Rick Porcello said. "They've been really, really good. They're a solid ballclub. Today was just one of those nights for them, I think."
Certainly Porcello was the primary beneficiary of the offense the Tigers generated thanks to Chicago's haphazard play, but he was excellent on the mound in his own right. The right-hander admitted to needing an inning or two -- he threw 25 pitches in the first -- to get his bearings in his first start out of the All-Star break, but he settled in just fine after that.
He loaded the bases in the first, but stranded the three runners, and from there needed eight pitches or fewer to complete three of the next four innings. Porcello finished with 93 pitches over his seven innings, striking out only one and also setting a season high with three walks (two in the first inning).
"That first inning was pretty shaky," Porcello said. "I think just not being on the mound in a game situation for a while was causing me to kind of be off rhythm. It felt a little foreign, but I battled through it and the guys made some outstanding plays behind me that really helped me out."
Without Miguel Cabrera in the lineup -- nursing a sore left hip flexor that could keep him out of one of the final two games of the series, or both -- the Tigers scored their six runs on just five hits, thanks to five Hector Santiago walks and the four errors. Chicago has made seven errors in two games already this series, and eight of the Tigers' 13 runs have been unearned.
"You just can't play like that and expect to be in the game," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "You give them that many opportunities and you're going to pay for it."
Without Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta stayed hot to pace the offense. Martinez, now hitting .415 this month, had a double and scored a run, while Peralta went 2-for-4 with a homer to left that measured 382 feet.
Chicago committed two errors in the fourth -- Matt Tuiasosopo reached on Conor Gillaspie's miscue at third base and scored on a Peralta single -- as two walks and a sacrifice fly also helped bring in runs.
Then Peralta homered with one out in the sixth to make it 4-0, and Alex Avila followed with a walk. Up came rookie callup Hernan Perez -- filling in for the injured Omar Infante, and seeing the bulk of the innings against Chicago's lefties -- who drilled a Santiago fastball into left-center field. Dayan Viciedo mishandled it badly as Perez hustled around the bases and scored. Perez was credited with a triple and Viciedo was charged with Chicago's fourth error.
"I saw the outfielder grabbing the ball, then [third-base coach Tom Brookens] sent me and I said, 'Oh, I have to make it'" Perez said.
In the ninth, the White Sox converted two Al Alburquerque walks with Paul Konerko's two-run double off Joaquin Benoit to prevent a shutout.
"He had a tremendous inning and we tried to get one more because he had a pretty easy inning," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said of Alburquerque. "But he just had a tough time getting it over in that last inning, so we felt like we had to go to Benoit, particularly in a ballpark like this."

My sister got married to a great guy this weekend. I was a groomsman, my wife was a bridesmaid and our two little girls were the flower girls.
As I had duties during the day, I couldn't take as many pictures (or the kinds of pictures) as I normally would at an event like this, but I got a few I'm pretty happy with. These are all taken with the Panasonic 25mm/1.4 on the Olympus OM-D E-M5.

I want a logo for my new venture - Little 'm' Media. It will be used for the website, blogs, business cards, presentation templates and similar. In particular, I want to highlight the concept of the little 'm' (because the premise of what I write/speak/teach/strategize about is no mainstream/major media, but everything else that makes communications successful.

- I want to highlight the concept of the little 'm' (no quote marks needed).
- I want warm colors -- I like orange (though I am open to other colors).
- I want soft accents -- I like grey (as opposed to black or white -- though I am open to other colors).
- I like lowercase letters, but I can be convinced otherwise.
- I don't want goofy shit... no web 2.0 crazy lines that don't mean anything, no shapes just for the sake of it.
- I don't want purple, pink, those kinds of colors.

I have an ASUS k52f and the web cam is mounted upside down. So I have to do a workaround for the web cam to show a proper image.
But the problem is, this workaround only works with Skype 2.x versions. And Skype recently updated to 4.x versions. In the Ubuntu repositories i.e. the software center, they still have the 2.x version.
How do I get the .deb file from the software center so that I could save it and use it in case Ubuntu updates its repositories?

Photographer's Note
...is a song
composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber for the musical Evita in 1978, the singer was Sarah Brightman, later there was a film where the singer was Madonna
The Photo
When I saw these boys riding bikes in the fields I waved them showing my camera, meaning I wanted some photos with them, part of the bike is seen on the right
They quickly stop with a wide smile and stay some minutes for me to take this photo
But the little one cried all the time, afraid of me or and my camera, thats way the song comes to my mind then and now
Crop so high
Because there was my shadow covering the low part of the capture

Hola Maria.
Acabo de retomar mi actividad en TE, despues de dos semanas de viaje por Cordoba, La Adrada y Barcelona, donde he disfrutado de la compaρia de Josepmarin y Pili, anfitriones maravillosos.
Un encantador retrato de estos pequeρos, sus expresiones nos transmiten la inocencia y naturalidad en sus semblantes, magnifica la perspectiva con esas verdes praderas y la montaρa al fondo.
Magnνfica la buena nitidez y la iluminacion, que dan una imagen muy potente con esta vivacidad de colores.
Un gran trabajo.
Disfruta de un buen fin de semana.
Saludos muy cordiales.

Hi Maria
These adorable fellas, descendants of Genhis Khan don't cry that easily!
What a moment you captured, very natural which I feel is enhanced by the light of a beautiful glow on their faces and the central fig -the main star- in particular. So full of warmthness and the total concentration that only children can convey so naturally, the pure innocence enjoying the simple pleasure in front of your lens and a truely wonderful thing to do. Not all photos have to be arty or masterpieces, showing a side of real life will be treasured forever can be much more rewarding. Such a creative use of an everyday object to express an emotion. I love the title, the song and Evita. This is wonderful, Bravo!!
Warm regards

Hello Maria,
You're capturing well this portrait by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see these innocent boys with pure mind under the Mongolian's prairie of backdrop. It's impressive in two boys with smile and a kids which is likely to cry in the middle. You catch well the young child's psychology. And, here is surrounded by the rich and beautiful nature.
Kind regards,

Hola Maria,
I love this vivid and direct portrait of the three children. It's wonderful to see their closeness as a group and each one's individual way of dealing with the lens and the attention of a stranger. There's exquisite sharpness on the three children and marvellous sense of depth. The soft warm light vivifies the natural tones superbly. The sense of vastness behind them is amazing and the only points of reference are the bike, the path and the fenced lot in the distance. You've created a strong connection between you and the children passing it on to the viewer as well. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely Sunday,

Hello Maria,
Beautiful photo of the kids. great color and I love the background of wide open field, showing us the location of these kids home and environment. Teh little one seem shy and almost not sure if he is crying or smiling. He also look like a mix between Mongolian and perhaps Russian? Very cute shot. I love it.

Hi Maria,
Your skill with portraits is a joy to behold, again. Have created a very special scene here with these children. Te backdrop behind them is awe inspiring and I think the tears of the smallest actually suits the whole picture really well, making it have a great gritty sense of realism.
Thanks again

"We speak of memorizing as getting something 'by heart,' which really means 'by head.' But getting a poem or prose passage truly 'by heart' implies getting it by mind and memory and understanding and delight."
—John Hollander
Select a poem from the book you're reading, or an old favorite, and begin to memorize it. While memorization may seem like a relic from your school days, the rewards of recalling a private anthology of well-loved poems are both immediate and long-lasting.
If you are new to memorization, pick a short poem with a strong rhythmic underpinning. Rhythm has long been used as a tool to aid the memory, particularly by oral storytellers before the advent of the written word. By choosing and memorizing a poem that you love, you connect yourself to this long tradition of passing along stories and customs through the power of poetic language. Make sure that you understand the sense of the poem—this will give meaning to the rote act of learning each line and transform a string of sounds into a message that you can easily absorb and transmit.
Committed to Memory: 100 Best Poems to Memorize (1996) is a great guide to choosing poems which lend themselves easily to memorization. Published in conjunction with the Academy of American Poets and edited by John Hollander, this anthology presents a group of classic, celebrated poems which emphasizes the pleasure of memorization and recitation.
You can also browse a list of poems to memorize, perform, or recite—part of a feature on Great Poems to Teach.

A reader from the other side of the planet (Australia) sent this excerpt from one he recently took:
It's the 4th item down that grabs my attention.
Let's face it: everyone has their own degree of what is and isn't comfortable. But if I've reached a point in my life where I'm having an autopsy, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to care one way or the other.
Thank you, Caillin!

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Collections housed at the University Archives and Area Research Center (ARC) are divided according to their designation as part of the University Archives, Area Research Center Collections, Special Collections, or Photograph Collections.
The University Archives is the official repository for the permanent historical records of the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. The University Collections pertain to the establishment, development, and history of the University. The University Collections also include a small number of museum-type artifacts.
The Area Research Center Collections contain local government records and local area manuscript materials owned by the Wisconsin Historical Society.
The ARC Collections cover four northwestern Wisconsin counties—Burnett, Pierce, Polk, and Saint Croix. Materials generated by local government units include such things as naturalization (citizenship) records, tax and/or assessment rolls, court records, school records, city and county board minutes, and vital records. Private manuscript collections include such things as the records of local businesses, community organizations, and churches, and personal diaries, letters, and scrapbooks.
The University of Wisconsin-River Falls ARC supplements the archival collections with material such as local and county histories, printed family histories and genealogies, church and cemetery records, maps and atlases, newspapers from the four counties, oral histories, federal and state census records, local serials, and more.
The UWRF Archives' Special Collections are comprised of rare or unusual publications; older agricultural, Civil War, and Wisconsin and Saint Croix Valley history books; area cookbooks; books authored by local area residents; and books authored by UWRF faculty, staff, or students.
Both the University Archives and the Special Collections contain photographs. The Photograph Collections are composed of thousands of photographs, digital photos, daguerreotypes, tintypes, slides, and other images from the University and from the four-county region.
Also look for photographs of our four-county area in the Wisconsin Historical Society's Visual Materials Collection, many of which are available online.
The University Archives and Area Research Center has a small collection of museum artifacts. They are mostly university-related, but there also are some items from the four-county area. Examples include university clothing and caps/hats, some trophies, a branding iron, several quilts and blankets, social and political buttons, pennants, old university time capsules, Kansas City Chiefs items from when they practiced here, and two Ku Klux Klan robes from the 1920s when not all Pierce County residents were welcoming to foreign-born immigrants.
You will find some of the collections featured—including some digital copies—on our Online Exhibits and Featured Collections page.

I heard about facilities and professions from Dr. Siegfried block. Very cooperative and sensitive. Their presentation is cardinal and worthy.
I appreciate your kind deal with our queries and you sent us the application for vis,
I arrived from UK. I had DHI hair transplantation. The team is very nice and professional. The clinic is very clinic and modern. They planted 4500 hair follicles. I definitely suggest them.
On April 2nd, I flew to San Diego, CA. from Boise, ID. in route to the Renovation Advanced Therapy Center in Tijuana, Mexico, to receive stem cell treatment for my Multiple Sclerosis. My boyfriend, Chris accompanied me on my journey to Mexico. We were driven from the airport in San Diego to the clinic in Tijuana, where we received a wonderful welcome by the nurses and medical personnel. Dr. Lopez arrived a little later and she was attentive, professional and knowledgeable. After some blood tests, we were served a delicious meal specially prepared for patients. After meeting with her, I felt very confident and liked her very much. They arranged for a short trip to the beach with both nurses keeping me company. My MS made me feel physically weak, but I was very happy, and optimistic emotionally. My surgery took a couple of hours, and it went very well. I was told that my stem cells were very active, healthy, and high quality. That made me feel very happy. After my stem cells were transferred back to me, I was wheeled back to my room. When we arrived there, I stood straight up, from the wheelchair, and walked, unassisted, across our room to sit on the bed. I felt no pain, no body aches, and my lower back, and legs felt strong. I hadn't felt that good or had been able to walk that good, in a long time! I was able to sit up straight, with no feelings of weakness. Next, I was given two injections. One, on each side that I think, consisted of more of my stem cells. We enjoyed lunch, and dinner and my nurses were wonderful to us. They were always so attentive and watching over me. I had 24-hour nursing care, the whole time that I was at the Renovation Advanced Therapy Center. Ever since my stem cell treatment, I have been able to sleep for 8 hours a night. I don't have insomnia, anymore. I have regained my equilibrium, and my inner strength, too! The next morning, we got up early, I got washed, and ready for the day. We had a good breakfast in our room. Dr. Lopez came over, to check on me, and to say goodbye to us. We took pictures, with her, and my wonderful nurses, Blanca, and Alma, and we all went down to the reception area, together. Their driver was there to meet us at 10:30 am to drive us across the border to the San Diego airport, to catch our return flight home to Boise, Idaho. I had no problems walking, unassisted, through both airports. I felt so amazed and so thankful that I felt so good, so soon. I know that I still have a few months for my stem cells to repair the damage, caused by my MS, but I really feel confident that they will because I already feel so much better! I will always be thankful to God, to Dr. Lopez, and to my nurses, who have really given me a second chance at living a normal life, again! They all treated us, like family, and we will always think of them that way, too! I pray that Stem Cell treatments will be accepted by health insurances, soon, so everyone, with MS, can afford to get treatments. Sharon Mander
Three months after neurosurgery treatment for his atypical meningioma, Patient Jinrong Ge came back to BPIH for a follow up. He said that he recovered well during the time at home. The movements of his legs were much more flexible than before the surgery.
I can not say enough about the wonderful staff there at Bio Care Hospital. They took the time to answer all my questions about the different treatments and were very attentive. I appreciated the personal care and the easy access to my doctor.
I would also like to thank my doctor, Dr. Javier Vazquez, for the ongoing and inspiring care he has provided me for many years. I also express my gratitude to Drs. Park and Chavarin. And last but certainly not least, I thank Sergio for always meeting me at San Diego Airport at some of the most inconvenient times to take me across the border to International Bio Care Hospital. To Socorro, Carmen, Enedelia, Elias, Juan, Teresa, Rene, Julio, Miguel, Jesus, Victor, Juan, Jorge, Angela, Maria Elena and Lupe, I am eternally grateful to each of you for helping keep me alive and pushing forward in life.
I feel alert, energized and so much more full of life than when I first came. And as we got to know most of the staff here, we felt a comfort level that eased our fears and frustrations. You all know just what my body needed and gave it to me.
A 93-year-old patient has removed two meningeoma successfully at Beijing Puhua International Hospital. This is the most senior brain tumor patient Puhua has operated. Now the patient has gone back to home happily with his family.

Even before the RSC's policy brief expressing deep skepticism toward the current copyright regime was pulled I was skeptical that it would actually result in any shift in political orientation from the GOP, let alone legislative proposals. That said, it undeniably marked a major rhetorical shift, which explains the enthusiasm with which it was received among tech activists and the blogosphere. Unless I'm missing something, it would have been the first official policy document from the party that acknowledged the overregulation of intellectual property.
The Republican Study Committee's mission is to propose new ideas for conservative policymaking. It seems to me that conservatives ought to be at least a bit wary about government-enforced monopolies on ideas, and the threat the overextension of such things poses to a free market. Alas, apparently even discussing these heresies is beyond the pale at the RSC. The question is why. Their explanation that the paper was not properly vetted and failed to include enough different perspectives is not even remotely credible. If it appeared on the website, it was vetted, and this is the different perspective that has been desperately needed for the last ten years. It's disappointing that the RSC was willing to throw author Derek Khanna's credibility under the bus in what is apparently a shameless effort to placate the copyright lobby. ArsTechnica's Timothy Lee cites an anonymous source who says that's exactly what happened.
Even giving the RSC the benefit of the doubt that there was some sort of administrative oversight, it would do well to release a new paper on IP reform that does include a "full range of perspectives," including a more skeptical view. According to their communications director, they intend to.
If the paper was taken down at the behest of industry lobbyists, as some have claimed, the speed with which they did it and the fact that the RSC won't even allow dissent certainly bespeaks desperation on the part of the MPAA and RIAA. They're probably aware that public opinion is no longer on their side and copyright reform is coming, eventually.
What I don't understand is what the party stands to gain by caving to these people. The interests that comprise both mostly donate to the Democratic Party, for one thing. It's also becoming increasingly clear that the current state of IP law leads to an anticompetitive environment. Why not use the issue to divide Democrats and make a pitch to Millennial voters? It also fits in well with a free market populist platform that goes after corporate welfare as aggressively as the other kind, since IP nearly always benefits entrenched interests. Tim Carney and Matt Lewis had an interesting exchange recently on this point. Carney wrote:
We can set aside the question of whether these laws are just or prudent for a moment, and conclude that, for better or for worse, they help the big guys and hurt the small guys. That doesn't tell us whether we should change the law. But it at least informs the debate over the law, and reminds us that the standard narrative of regulation — that it curbs the excesses of big guys and protects the little guys — is a myth.
As Khanna's paper put it:
Today's legal regime of copyright law is seen by many as a form of corporate welfare that hurts innovation and hurts the consumer. It is a system that picks winners and losers, and the losers are new industries that could generate new wealth and added value.
It's another way in which the GOP shows itself to be more in favor of big business than free markets. There's a perception that questioning the current IP regime means you support piracy, and that's nonsense. One can recognize a role for intellectual property–indeed, the Constitution does–while at the same time questioning whether the current arrangement is working to incentivize innovation or whether it's needlessly excluding people from the market, enriching the estates of long-dead celebrities, and bringing the law down on the heads of many who probably don't deserve it. There's a veritable buffet of reasons to do it; cynical, principled, political, or in the name of economic growth, and very few reasons not to.
It so happens that a new book edited by Jerry Brito, head of tech policy at Mercatus, and featuring a number of right-leaning policy scholars and journalists, will be released next month on the subject of conservative support for copyright reform. Brito writes:
Conservatives and libertarians, who are naturally suspicious of big government, should be skeptical of an ever-expanding copyright system. They should be skeptical of the recent trend toward criminal prosecution of even minor copyright infringements, of the growing use of civil asset forfeiture in copyright enforcement, and of attempts to regulate the Internet and electronics in the name of piracy eradication. I think our movement is very close to seeing that copyright reform is not just completely compatible with a respect for property rights, but a limited-government project.
[Update 3:03, Nov. 19:] Don't miss this excellent post from IP lawyer and VP of Law and Policy at the Computer & Communications Industry Association about how copyright manifests itself as taxes and regulations, entitled "Copyright's Laffer Curve: Or, Why the Republican Study Committee Was Right." An excerpt:
Copyright was a necessary evil, [Thomas] Macaulay concluded, a required subsidy for authors. But it was a tax nonetheless, and thus should be imposed no more than necessary. In fact, copyright even manifests a sort of "Laffer Curve," a well-known model for conceptualizing taxation. This curve is an idea often attributed to economist Arthur Laffer, but should probably be attributed to Jules Dupuit in 1844, or Edmund Burke in 1774, or any number of others, who, alas, never secured the exclusive rights to own optimal tax policy. …
Even more conspicuous than the fact that copyright functions as a tax-and-subsidy policy is that we administer IP law in an increasingly micro-managerial manner. This regime today scarcely resembles markets for property, and dramatically resembles how Washington regulates other industries.
… [I]f copyright is a property right at all, it is the property right to a government subsidy.

In addition, we briefly cover situational awareness, controlling and avoiding confrontations, opportunities to continue your training, the physical and psychological realities of a self-defense engagement, and the legal and social fallout from a shooting. You do not need to have taken your original CCW training with us.
- The range fee is included in the course fee.

The classroom portion of the course is located at:
FAST OC 1095 N. Main St, Suite S [upstairs], Orange, CA 92867.
Upon entering FAST OC we will check and clear your weapons so we may perform some dry fire holster drills prior to the range qualifications.
After the classroom portion of the course is complete we will do the OCSD required weapons qualifications at Evans Shooters World, 1637 N Brian St, Orange, CA 92867 less than ½ mile north of the FAST OC classroom.
If there are any problems or additional questions please let me know the day before the class.
If you are thinking of changing weapons on your license this is the time to do it. All you need to do is qualify with the new weapon, complete a DOJ License Amendment form, and email the FAST OC CCW Renewal Training certificate and DOJ form to OCSD. The link to the DOJ form is on the OCSD CCW website.
