Losing patience with an unhealthy system
The Irish health system is maddening not only for patients but for their relatives, who must withstand poor communication, baffling rules and often impersonal care

Health services are "a conspiracy against the public", according to Prof Aidan Halligan. He has borrowed the phrase from George Bernard Shaw, who called all professions a conspiracy against the public.
Prof Halligan, the director of education at University College London Hospital, is a close observer of the health service in Ireland, his native country. "It's a shortage of compassion. Just as the only thing that matters in art is the part that can't be explained, so the only thing in a medical system that matters is the part that can't be measured," he says.
Or, as a woman asked of our health service last week: "Whose job is it to be kind?"
Ireland's health service is not the only one that has seen standards slide and public confidence fade. The Welsh MP Ann Clwyd, who was formerly Tony Blair's human-rights envoy to Iraq, watched her husband, Owen Roberts, die of hospital- acquired pneumonia at University Hospital of Wales, in Cardiff, last October.
Afterwards, Clwyd said hospital staff had treated her husband with "coldness, resentment, indifference and even contempt". She said her biggest regret was that she didn't "stand in the corridor and scream. I have tried to get bills through parliament on the welfare of battery hens. My husband died crushed, like a battery hen."
The nurses, according to Clwyd, were brusque. She talked about "the normalisation of cruelty" within the British health service. Since she spoke out she has been astounded by the response from the British public, as well as from National Health Service workers.
The treatment of patients and their relatives by Ireland's health service has been widely discussed in the media this week, including in my column in last Monday's Irish Times and on national radio.
Everybody knows that our health service is in crisis, and perhaps few know it better than those working within it. Commenting on the week's debate, a spokesman for the Irish Medical Organisation says: "The IMO has been warning for some time about the deterioration of patient services across the health services over the past number of years, but the authorities have been very slow to engage.
"There are different factors at play here," says the spokesman. "Inevitably, one of the realities is that you are seeing the cumulative impact of increasing workload and reducing resources now impacting directly on the quality of care and support that individual patients can receive. This has been taking place quietly for some time, but it's clearly having a detrimental impact on patients and their relatives who have spoken on the issue so eloquently this week."
Martin Varley, the secretary general of the Irish Hospital Consultants Association, outlines some of the pressures on senior doctors. "Consultants focus on diagnosing and treating patients as effectively as possible in medically appropriate time frames," he says. "Regrettably, Ireland has about half the number of hospital consultants that it needs.
"In recent years acute hospital budgets have been cut by 25 per cent. As a consequence, consultants work extremely long days and often have two to three times more patients than hospital consultants in other countries."
Phil Ní Sheaghdha, the director of industrial relations at the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, responds to the suggestion that relatives of patients find our health service chaotic by saying: "They're right."
Ní Sheaghdha explains how admitting patients through emergency departments to beds all over the hospital has been a disaster. She says the HSE has done a good job of publicising its complaints service – Your Service, Your Say – and its freephone number, and she welcomes complaints.
Ní Sheaghdha says "it is expected that nurses are courteous" but also points out the pressures on members of her profession. The previous day, she says, "I had a nurse here who was taking care of 40 elderly patients. She was the only nurse on duty, in a public nursing home."
Halligan says our health service is overmanaged and underled. The system is broken, but the people who suffer most are patients and their families.
Here, some relatives of patients share their experiences of the Irish health system.
Alison and Charlotte Cox
Every day Alison goes to see her sister in hospital, and every day she brings a spoon.
"There is only a plastic spoon on the tray the food comes on, and it cuts her lip," says Alison. She comes to the hospital to try to get her sister Emily to eat. Emily was admitted to hospital last winter, having had a stroke at home. Alison usually stays at the hospital from 11am to 3pm, seven days a week. She came all through Christmas and New Year. "No one from hospital management and no senior nurses came to the ward to wish the patients Happy Christmas or Happy New Year."
Alison used to come at breakfast time, but she gave that up. As it is, these daily visits cost her a lot in parking fees. "About €9.40 a day," she says with a smile. Her other sister, Charlotte, reminds Alison that if you bring your parking ticket to hospital administration they will halve your parking fee. Alison says the hospital administration building is miles away, and she has been coming to the hospital through a winter and spring of very bad weather. Sometimes she is very tired, so she just pays the full fee and goes home.
Charlotte was worried that Emily was not drinking enough fluid. She asked about getting Emily a special cup, like a baby cup. The occupational therapist brought her leaflets for a medical supplier, and told her to look one up. Charlotte wondered if the occupational therapist might not look up a drinking cup, but she was told that would not happen.
At one point, distressed that their sister had not had physiotherapy after her first two months in hospital, Charlotte went to a physiotherapy supplier and bought two supportive belts. Then Charlotte and Alison started giving Emily physiotherapy themselves, in the hospital. "The doctor said, 'Don't you dare do that any more,' " says Charlotte. "I asked him why not, and he said, 'For health and safety'. I said, 'For whose health and safety?' Anyway, we did get her leg moving. And after that they brought some [physio equipment] to her room, and we had never seen that before."
When Alison found Emily, she knew she had had a stroke, although the ambulance man told her to be quiet when she tried to tell him so. It is possible to inject medication to treat clots within hours of a stroke, but it must first be established whether the stroke was caused by a clot or a bleed. By the time Emily had a scan to establish this it was too late to administer the injection, although she would have been a good candidate for it.
In her mid-60s, Emily was too young for the geriatric ward, where most of the stroke patients are treated. There is one stroke nurse in the hospital, but she did not see Emily for a month. The stroke nurse later apologised but has visited only sporadically since.
"So there is no leadership. There has been no continuity of care," says Charlotte.
"There is no supervision, although there are plenty of supervisors. I see them at Mass," says Alison. "Their beepers go off during Mass."
Emily's medication was changed, and Alison discovered her having a seizure alone in her room. On one occasion she had a bout of diarrhoea, and Alison came back four hours later to find her in the same soiled nappy. Emily's urine bag overflowed and paper towels were put on top of the spillage. "I had urine all over my shoes," says Alison.
The two sisters are vocal, organised and dedicated. "I am heartbroken for all the patients, not just for my sister."
It took them eight weeks to find out that doctors from another hospital visit younger stroke victims at the hospital. Charlotte writes to consultants to request meetings. "I would never expect to get through to a doctor on the phone."
Kara M adden
Kara Madden's experience with the health service started at a very low point, but it has improved so rapidly that now she says of her son Thomas, "He's better than I am. But 10 years ago it was a horrific experience."
Thomas was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia as a teenager. "All my expectations for him were gone out the window. I would have given him all his medication at the same time [in other words, killed him] if I could, because I was given no hope at all. I can actually say to you that the only conversation I can recall about Thomas having paranoid schizophrenia was a psychiatrist telling me Thomas had the condition and that he had a 70 per cent chance of killing himself. I hyperventilated in front of [the psychiatrist]. Then I had to drive myself home."
Madden, who lives in Cork, was given no further information. "Not even a leaflet." She remembers the first time Thomas left the hospital after his diagnosis. "The first time I brought him to Roches Stores, here was this 16-year-old doped up to the eyeballs, drooling out of the windows, and you're sitting there on your own, crying."
Madden and her husband, Thomas's father, split up. Her ex-husband subsequently died. From the start of Thomas's illness, she was on her own with him. "I have a daughter, Gillian, and she was angry, embarrassed and distraught, with no one to talk to ."
Madden found the lack of information and lack of support from the health system very hard. There was no information on where to go or who to see; there was no support about medication; and there was no way of recognising the early warning signs of a relapse. "There was no sense of recovery, no light at the end of the tunnel and a lot of isolation. I had a revolving door in and out of the hospital as Thomas relapsed and had to be readmitted. I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Thomas was noncompliant about taking his medication."
She objected to the fact that it was up to her and other relatives to have to sign their loved ones in to hospital in the crisis of involuntary admission because, as she gracefully puts it, "That comes back on you when they're sick." It took her a long time to find out that there are authorised admission officers. "When they're an involuntary admission, they have to go to a tribunal after 21 days. The parent is never asked to the tribunal."
Madden also hates the fact that if a psychiatric patient has a psychotic episode after hours, they have to go through the emergency department in order to be admitted to hospital.
She believes that the rules about patient confidentiality are often used cynically to keep parents at bay. However, perhaps because of the length of her relationship with the health service, or perhaps because the psychiatric services were in such a terrible state when she first encountered them, she believes that she and Thomas have a much better relationship with them now. "Every mother thinks their child is in crisis. I had to really get over being so protective. A lot of the health workers are as frustrated as we are."
She has taken steps to improve her life. "I went to Shine, a support group. It was my lifesaver. It took me four years to get there. I found a lovely community welfare officer and a social-welfare officer. I stopped looking at the internet and started talking to other carers and other service users. Thomas wanted to be independent, and he now lives on his own and has his own life."
Madden speaks at conferences about mental illness and works hard at their relationship. "We respect each other's space. We learned that the hard way. Once I came out of the box of being a carer I could see it wasn't all doom and gloom. When my ex-husband died, Thomas was my rock. I'm so proud of the guy."
Eileen Dwyer
"I'm fighting for five months," says Eileen Dwyer, her voice breaking. "The staff react to everything I raise, but they're not proactive. What happens to the little old dears who have no one?"
Members of the Dwyer family, which is a large one, come to hospital for all of their mother's meals except breakfast. "The staff just don't see it as their role to feed the patient," says Dwyer, who keeps careful notes. She has seen her mother's care plan. " 'Care plan' is the new buzz word." She has called meetings. She has written letters. She has demanded air mattresses.
The family also come in to make sure their mother is stimulated. The television in her room is not routinely turned on. "These are people who watch Judge Judy and Nationwide at home," says Eileen.
Every day Dwyer drives her father to visit his wife. He says, "Don't bring me here." He means, says Dwyer , not to bring him to the same hospital if he becomes ill.
Her mother was admitted to hospital having fallen and suffered a fracture. She is otherwise very healthy. "She has been a wonderful mother," says Dwyer. She did very well for the first four weeks and was on the verge of being discharged when she came down with the first of four hospital-acquired infections she has endured during her stay. When asked whether her mother has had MRSA, Dwyer replies: "Not yet."
The staff are great, she says, but there is no continuity of care. Surgically, her mother has had wonderful care. "But the basics are the problem. They piece these people back together and then they leave them there. I read my mother's file, and it doesn't say anything in it about her not eating. "
Her mother is pretty happy, she says, although she has severe bedsores. And she is very clean. "Because I'm fighting. But I'm tired of fighting. Old people marched to keep their medical cards, but they will have to start marching about hospital care. Otherwise, bring in euthanasia and let them slip away."
The Dwyers have been reading about Florence Nightingale; they sent me a series of her quotations, of which the best is the shortest: "The very first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm." Dwyer's sibling continues: "It is a sad day when I have to confess to having more faith in the general nursing care and health outcomes in a Crimean War field hospital from the 1800s than a hospital in Ireland in the 21st century."

LeapFrog Explorers: Install OE and BitBake
How to install openembedded and bitbake for the leapfrog leapster Explorer packages
OpenEmbedded and bitbake are a pair of powerful cross-compiling tools, setup correctly to do a complete build of OE packages should be as simple as running 'bitbake image' at the command line.
If you look in the LF-Linux-6905-20100610-0915.tar.gz archive you will find a folder packages/oe-bin, in here you will find all the binaries for pre-built OE packages, if that's all you need then use those and don't setup OE/bitbake.
As far as I can tell, OE/Bitbake will build everything (linux + all OE packages).
this tutorial is a work in progress, if you mess your system up don't blame me. It has been written through doing the installation on ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have gathered information from the internet on how to install openembedded and bitbake.
Needed Files:
If you take a look at the leapfrog sources you will find LF-OE-251-20100614-0852.tar.bz2 this contains the leapfrog/lf1000 configuration files.
1. open a command prompt and enter the following, enter password when prompted:
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake gettext libboost-dev libz-dev g++ libxml2-utils xmlto python-psyco
2. in the same command prompt, again, enter the following (its all one single command)
sudo aptitude install sed wget cvs subversion git-core coreutils unzip texi2html texinfo libsdl1.2-dev docbook-utils gawk python-pysqlite2 diffstat help2man make gcc build-essential g++ desktop-file-utils
3. enter the following 4 lines in the same command prompt:
sudo mkdir -p /stuff/build/conf
sudo mkdir -p /stuff/sources/
sudo chmod -Rf 777 /stuff/
cd /stuff/
This is where openembedded will be installed/run from, change /stuff/ to a directory path of your choice
4. Download and Install bitbake, enter the following commands:
wget http://download.berlios.de/bitbake/bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz
tar -xvzf bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz
mv bitbake-1.8.18 bitbake
5. Download openembedded from git repository, enter the following commands, the git commands may take some time depending on the speed of your internet connection.
git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openembedded.git
cd openembedded
git pull
6. Copy files from the leapfrog OE folders to our installation of OE:
copy the /build, /build-lf1000, /packages and /sources folder from the /oe folder to /stuff.
copy the 2 files, e-o and setup-env.sh to /stuff, edit both files to reflect /stuff as the OE_HOME dir
That's it as far as installation of OE is concerned, not entirely sure what else needs to be setup. I suggest looking through the OE/Bitbake manuals and any lf1000 related .conf files for more clues.
I think we now need to get the kernel sources in the right place too and set project_path? copy the contents of LF-Linux-6905-20100610-0915 to /stuff merging any files/folders if prompted?

The Brunch Dish: Bread Pudding French Toast at Corner Cafe & Bakery
Brunch menus to do your weekend right.
[Photo: Nikki Goldstein]
Brunch gems on the upper Upper East Side may be harder to come by than in other neighborhoods, but that doesn't mean there aren't a good handful of worthy spots. One is the Corner Cafe & Bakery on 92nd and 3rd, which feels a lot closer to the suburbs than it really is. The place is unbelievably homey—last week, the dining room donned home-made decorations like turkeys and leaves speckled with glitter that hung sweetly from the ceiling. The food is good enough, but without the charming ambiance it would be a lot less satisfying; together, these components are bound to strike that perfect nostalgia factor for anyone who stumbles in.
Corner Bakery's menu is fairly standard, but one dish is out of the ordinary: the bread pudding French toast, which re-configures the dish's signature ingredients and puts them back in a completely different way. Bread pudding, after all, is generally made from brioche, one of the most common choices for French toast (second only to Challah!). It's served as a single slice, so dense and rich that you really wouldn't want much more. The dessert favorite gets its brunch edge when dredged, seared to a lightly crunchy exterior, and served with syrup. The last bit, however, is also the dish's main weakness. It wasn't pure maple syrup that came to the table, just a watered down version that sogged the bread without adding the robust flavor of the real thing.
Fake syrup and all, I left Corner Cafe happier than I leave most brunch spots—not because the food was phenomenal, but because it was the kind of homey relaxation that anyone can benefit from after a long week. And frankly, for anyone who lives in the area and diligently treks south of Central Park for notable brunch finds, it may be just the place worth saving the ride.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) yesterday updated H7N9 avian influenza virus testing directives for hospitals following the first confirmed H7N9 infection in Taiwan, whose throat swab samples tested negative twice for the virus before the infection was finally confirmed via sputum specimen testing.
The Central Epidemic Command Center confirmed the first imported case of H7N9 infection in Taiwan on Wednesday, and doubts had been raised over its delayed announcement of the confirmation and the ineffective testing.
CDC Director-General Chang Feng-yee (張峰義) said the center had to undertake genome sequencing of the virus before making the confirmed case public and it is incorrect to say that throat swab testing is "ineffective."
"The H7N9 virus was detected in the sputum sample using a real-time polymerase chain reaction [PCR] test kit. However, to be absolutely sure of the result, it is necessary to use genome sequencing, which later confirmed the infection and found that the virus strain was highly similar to the one found in Shanghai, confirming that the virus was imported," Chang said.
"Because the throat swab samples tested negative twice after the patient was hospitalized does not mean that the testing was ineffective. There were no such pathogens in his throat. The patient developed a fever, but exhibited no respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms when he first sought medical attention. It indicates that the virus is most active in the lower respiratory tract and the lungs," Chang said.
CDC physician Philip Yi-chun Lo (羅一鈞) said the center now advises hospitals to obtain sputum samples from suspected cases that have coughed up phlegm, recently had pneumonia or exhibited other symptoms.
Lo said that based on the latest international research on H7N9 avian influenza, the virus' estimated incubation period has been increased to 10 days from seven days.
"This change will affect the time needed to conduct self-health management for those who have come into close contact with an infected patient. They now have to be followed closely by health authorities until Tuesday, three days longer than the previously stated," Lo said, adding that the three contacts who exhibited upper respiratory symptoms are recovering and all the other contacts have not exhibited any symptoms.
Meanwhile, Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine Deputy Director Huang Kuo-ching (黃國青) said the effective date of the ban on live poultry slaughter in markets has been shifted to an earlier date of May 17, one month earlier than previously stated, as a preventive measure following the first imported H7N9 infection.
Speaking on the government's control measures on the expected 14,000 Chinese tourists traveling to Taiwan during China's May Day holiday, Tourism Bureau official Lin Mei-yan (林美燕) said the bureau has asked travel agencies to be on high alert on the health of tourists, and has set up a round-the-clock hotline.
"No travel restrictions will be imposed on Chinese tourists. The threshold for that kind of restriction is pretty high," Chang said.
Officials from the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), the Ministry of Finance, the Consumer Protection Committee and the Fair Trade Commission were also present at the press conference, where it was announced that the government has been monitoring the sales of face masks and there is little concern of stock shortages.

Including some mortal cars that are actually reachable for most folks supposedly makes sense but this isn't budget car of the year. It's car of the year, period.
Here are the results in order from last place to first. You will notice a couple surprises but the winner is exactly who it should be.
8th Renault Mégane RS
Lets be clear: to make the cut for our Car of the Year test should be seen as an achievement in itself, but as in every test, something has to come last, and here its the Renault. On these roads, and in this company, the synthetic feedback from its controls and the artificial feel to its agility were its downfall. As weve found with Renault Sport Méganes before, this first version of the new-generation car feels as if it has huge potential; theres a talented chassis waiting to emerge here, but one in need of added focus and calibration to bring its many elements together in a more cohesive fashion.
7th Volkswagen Up GTI (Supermini of the Year)
The same cant be said of our next finisher, as the Up GTI shows its cards as quickly as it draws them. Its limits are quickly discovered, and frustratingly its stability program cant be disabled, but its higher placing than the vastly more capable Renault is a mark of just how much sheer fun it is to drive. It is a wonderful supermini, combining a charismatic engine and an enthusiastic chassis in a truly desirable little package. Definitely a car to be celebrated.
6th Ferrari 488 Pista
This one may come as a surprise. The 488 Pista is faster, more capable and more technically impressive than any mid-engined V8 Ferrari that has gone before, but it struggles to transform this capability into fun. Its polished overtones and frankly inaccessible outright performance on the public road led to its downfall. What might be seen as a classic case of progress for progresss sake, the 488 Pista lacks the sparkle that made its direct predecessor, the 458 Speciale, such a high point in Ferraris modern back catalogue. The Pista is pure focus, but without a sense of real engagement something that cant be overlooked.
5th BMW M2 Competition
A BMW placed higher than a Ferrari? Surely not. But the M2 Competition is the exception here, as it seems to walk the line closest to the very mantra that underpins the BMW brand. Its flawed, but raw, and aggressive without being terminally intimidating or unpredictable. The manual transmission of our test example, combined with BMWs stirring S55 engine (borrowed from the larger M3 and M4) and some much needed chassis fettling cemented the Competitions place. Its a very impressive sports car, and exactly the kind of modern M-car weve been waiting for.
4th Ford Fiesta ST (Hot Hatch of the Year)
So from 3 litres over six cylinders to 1.5 litres in three, its the new Fiesta ST the car that proved to be this years real giant killer. Capable beyond both its rivals and predecessors, the latest STs fine touch to all of its elements is what stands out, rather than a collection of highs and lows. Its a stunning car, one that realigned our expectations of what a simple supermini-sized hatchback is capable of. That the Fiesta ST shone so brightly against the others in this test is a testament to Fords skill in creating real-world performance car heroes.
3rd Porsche 911 GT2 RS
Porsches 991-generation 911 has had a long ride. Being bigger, heavier and in some ways unresolved on its introduction, it has blossomed into the exceptional GT2 RS. Its performance is other-worldly, an incredible expression of how far the (relatively) basic 911 package can go. The GT2 RS is interactive too, exploitable even, something unimaginable even just ten years ago with a power figure approaching 700bhp.
That the GT2 RS is probably the quickest car here over the ground, and remains a true giant killer of the higher performance kind is just the icing on the cake. Its ultimate-is-best mentality perhaps restricts the outright driver engagement it can offer, but we adore the 911 GT2 RS, which says a lot about the cars we placed above it.
2nd Alpine A110 (Coupe of the Year)
What a comeback for the French marque! The Alpine A110 has been one of the years most hyped cars, and for good reason it. Its not perfect, there are refinements that could be made, but at its core the lightweight, accessible, mid-engined A110s execution wowed us as much as its mantra. There is a crystalline feel to its responses, one created through sound foundations and well-judged execution. Its just the kind of car that weve been asking for, and one were happy to champion at every opportunity.
In fact, the Alpine came close to overall victory a truly remarkable feat from the brands first product in decades. As our winner proves, though, new players seem able to catch up pretty darned quickly, as for the second year in a row, its the supercar disrupter that has once again walked away with a victory.
1st McLaren 600LT (Supercar of the Year and evo Car of the Year 2018)
The McLaren 600LT is our 2018 Car of the Year. Its the second eCoty victory in a row for the British manufacturer from Woking, and provides yet more evidence that the firm has rightfully earned its place among the true supercar-making greats. The ingredients it uses often look familiar, but with every iteration the execution improves yet further.
As one of the three powerhouses in our test group, the 600LT differed from the Ferrari and Porsche by recognising the value of true engagement, even with close to 600bhp on tap. In fact, that power output was strangely immaterial, having little to do with the cars final placing. Instead it was the McLarens deep-seated connection to the person behind the wheel that proved to be the ultimate clincher. Agile, connected, dramatic, but exploitable and always on-side, the 600LT is McLaren coming of age and this is only just the beginning. The establishment are no longer on notice. Theyre being left behind.

The Imperial Life – the best bar snacks in Asheville
Posted by: Doniel Winter
The Imperial Life Bar, located above the restaurant Table, is one of my favorite bars downtown to have a cocktail and a snack. With its second floor location and tastefully marked entrance you might not know it exists, which among bars makes it the best kept secret in Asheville. I didn't know it was there until a few months ago, and I'm really happy that it is, because Imperial Life has the best snacks of any bar downtown.
It's 5pm and you're peckish and not sure where you want to eat. You don't want the typical bar fare: giant, greasy appetizers that are really meals in themselves. You want… a little something. Imperial Life should be your first stop. I always order my two favorite dishes: pimento cheese and deviled eggs, both of which are as good as I have ever tasted. I didn't realize what a big deal deviled eggs and pimento cheese are in the South, and Imperial Life doesn't disappoint in this regard. I can also recommend the pickle plate, which included pickled Ranier cherries and pickled rabbit sausage the last time I ordered it. Imperial Life also serves interesting specialty cocktails; listed under "Adventurous" is a drink called Good Intentions (Cachaça, Smith & Cross Rum, Grapefruit, Orgeat, Bitters, Lemonhart 151 Rum) for $13. I am fond their champagne cocktail: a brut sparkler over a sugar cube soaked in bitters. They also have a selection of local brews on tap.
Imperial Life is small – I can't imagine it serves more than 30 people at once, which is perfect. The western and southern walls are windows that open onto the street, so the room feels spacious, airy and full of natural light. The décor is eclectic, a mix of hand hewn wood and custom metal work. The bar fashioned from a repurposed bowling lane. The bartenders are dressed formally, in 2 parts of a 3 piece suit. Vest and pants, if you were wondering. Im not exactly sure what the overall theme is, but it's pleasant inside.
I never leave Imperial Life feeling like I didn't get my money's worth. The drinks are delicious and with the snacks at $3-$5, it's a bargain. Our Rating:"consistently good" Cost: $ out of $$$

Your attention, please. From Fox News' Neil Cavuto (won't dignify it with a link), by way of Talking Points Memo, by way of Jezebel:
Michael Karolchyk — who started the Denver Anti-Gym for the purpose of "getting clients in shape for sex;" who included in said gym an extra-special super-secret sauna for clients below a certain BMI; who idolizes Holden Caulfield (*snicker*… oops, sorry. (*snicker*…SORRY! I'M SORRY!)); who thought it appropriate to wear a "no chubbies" slogan t-shirt when appearing on national television; whose gym was shut down for not paying its taxes; who thereafter couldn't quite muster the business savvy not to leave his clients' documents (including credit card numbers) in a dumpster; and who giggles involuntarily if you walk up to him and say "boobies!"* — does not think Regina Benjamin should be the surgeon general.
I knew you'd want to know, so that you could adjust your opinions on the matter accordingly.
Anna N. at Jezebel reports:
Karolchyk says (based, again, on the scientific method of Watching Video Footage) that Benjamin is "lazy" and makes "poor food choices." He asks if we'd want "the head of the Fed Reserve to be a guy in a cardboard box" or "Michael Jackson's doctor" as the head of the DEA.
Folks, the comically un-self-aware man-child who is so desperate to feel young and vital that he appears to have willfully resisted outgrowing his years as a middle school bully is right. The mantle of authority is a privilege. Not everyone can enjoy a visible public platform from which to spout his or her opinions on stuff. That kind of space should be given only to those whose personal circumstances show them to be, not only thoughtful and of unimpeachable judgement… but also prosperous, lucky, and in the fickle general public's good graces.
Thank you to Fox News, and Michael Karolchyk, for this reminder.
*-Astute readers may wonder how I know this. As a matter of fact, I know this because I have magic boobie-giggler vision: I can look at men and magically discern whether they snicker at the mention of boobies. This is a superpower akin to Karolchyk's super-power of being able to look at people and magically discern how healthy they are. You call it pulling stuff out of one's ass; Karolchyk and Fox and I call it penetrating insight. Potato, potahto.

John Keill
Born: 1 December 1671 in Edinburgh, Scotland
Died: 31 August 1721 in Oxford, England
|Main Index
|Biographies index
John Keill's mother was Sarah Cockburn. She came from a family with strong associations with the Church, having an uncle who was bishop of Aberdeen and a brother who was an Episcopal priest who supported the Stuart cause refusing to take an oath of allegiance to William and Mary after James II was deposed in the Revolution of 1688. John's father was Robert Keill who was an Edinburgh lawyer. James Keill who became a physicist, was John's younger brother born two years later. John attended school in Edinburgh, then studied at Edinburgh University under David Gregory obtaining his degree in 1692 with distinction in both mathematics and physics. Keill went to Oxford with David Gregory in 1692 and, after obtaining a scholarship to finance his studies, studied at Balliol College. He obtaining an M.A. from Oxford on 2 February 1694.
At Oxford Keill lectured on Newton's work and was soon appointed as a lecturer in experimental philosophy at Hart Hall [2]:-
He therefore offered the first course on Newtonian natural philosophy, and the first reputedly based on 'experimental demonstrations', at either of the English universities. Judging from the published version of his lectures (Introductio ad veram physicam, Oxford, 1701), many of his demonstrations were mathematical rather than experimental, being based on 'thought experiments' (imagined experiments) rather than real manipulations.Keill was appointed deputy to the Sedleian professor of natural philosophy in 1699, a post he held until 1704. Keill was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1701 and remained at Balliol College until his scholarship ran out in 1703 when he transferred to Christ Church. Despite acting as Sedleian professor of natural philosophy for five years, he failed to be appointed to fill the position when it became vacant in 1704. Similarly he was unlucky to fail in his application for the Savilian Professor of Astronomy which became vacant on David Gregory's death in 1708. Feeling that he would not progress further in Oxford, after his two failures, he decided to look for a government position. He was appointed treasurer of the fund set up to help protestant refugees from the Rhenish Palatinate. During the War of the Grand Alliance (1689-97), the troops of Louis XIV of France invaded the Rhenish Palatinate and many of the inhabitants fled for their lives. The fund helped those who wished to settle in England. Many wished to settle in North America and Keill accompanied a party who sailed to New England. He returned in 1711 and considered taking up a post as a mathematician in the Republic of Venice. However he was appointed to undertake decoding work for Queen Anne and decided to remain in England. In the following year the Savilian Professorship of Astronomy in Oxford became vacant again and this time Keill was appointed taking up the post in 1712.
Keill acted as a propagator of Newton's philosophy and argued against Whiston and others. He claimed that Leibniz had plagiarised Newton's invention of the calculus and he served as Newton's avowed champion. The part played by Keill in the controversy over who invented the calculus is fully brought out in [3]. In fact Leibniz, in a 1705 article, had commented on Newton's elegant use of fluxions comparing it to Fabri who had:-
... substituted the advance of movements for the method of Cavalieri.This did not provoke any reaction from Newton until 1711 when Keill suggested that this could be interpreted as suggesting that Newton's fluxions were a moving version of Leibniz's differentials. Keill responded by accusing Leibniz of plagiarizing Newton in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society and Leibniz wrote to the Royal Society asking that he withdraw his accusation. Keill maintained his position and Leibniz wrote to Newton asking him to tell Keill to withdraw his accusations.
The position went from bad to worse when Johann Bernoulli discovered an error in Newton's work. He wrote two articles explaining Newton's error and suggested that they demonstrated that Newton could not have invented the calculus independently of Leibniz since he was incapable of it. Keill wrote to Newton on 26 April 1714:-
I have read both pieces ... inserted in the Journal Litéraire and I think I never saw anything written with so much impudence, falsehood and slander as they are both. I am of the opinion that they must be immediately answered and I am now drawing up an answer which I will finish as soon as I hear from you ...Again Keill wrote to Newton on 19 May 1714:-
I am almost confident that he wrote that paper on purpose to show that you did not understand second fluxions ...Keill did write a reply in the Journal Litéraire which he intended as a defence of national honour. Although Keill and Newton seemed very friendly at this time it appeared that Newton grew tired of Keill's stirring up trouble. Newton made it up with Johann Bernoulli although Keill never did.
In 1717 Keill married Mary Clements. However [2]:-
... his choice of wife was regarded as something of a scandal - Mary Clements was held to be of very inferior rank, being the daughter of James Clements, an Oxford bookbinder. Perhaps the attraction for Keill was the fact that she was twenty-five years younger. They had a son who became a linen draper in London ...Keill's work Euclides elementorum libri priores sex Ⓣ published in 1715 studies trigonometry and logarithms. He also wrote on forces between particles and on theories of the origin of the universe. He wrote up more of his lectures in Introductio ad veram Ⓣ (published in Leiden in 1725). In these he wrote:-
The only true philosophers are those who would account for all effects and phenomena by the known established laws of motion and mechanics.Two years before he died, Keill was left a fortune on the death of his brother James. Rather strangely, despite being very wealthy, he did not make a will. He died at his home of a severe fever and was buried at St Mary's Church, Oxford.

1949 Willys CJ-3A
Bill Douglass 1949 Flatfender
Willys started building 'em in 1941 as relief to the war effort; Bill Douglas of Englewood, Colorado, started building his flatfender more than 50 years later as relief to his four-wheelin' efforts. Bill says the CJ-3A was well designed and over-engineered from the factory. For that reason, he kept to the basics and only changed from stock what he found limited the already-capable classic's abilities.
Originally purchased from a Willys Overland dealer in Denver, Bill's '49 saw duty giving sightseeing tours in Central City. Central City Pioneer was painted across the hood and down the sides when he bought the Jeep in July 1994. Bill began the restoration immediately, focusing at first on mechanical aspects and towing it to the mountains for test runs every weekend.
Eighteen months later, Bill unveiled his project at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, completing the final touches only two days before he left to attend the event. Since that time, Bill and his Willys have tackled all the 4-plus-rated Moab trails in addition to Holy Cross, Old Tincup, and many other Colorado trails.
What's next on Bill's list? An '82 Scrambler with body mods and a turbo-charged Buick V-6.
"Ill put my Willys away so maybe it will last another 49 years," Bill says. Considering the time and care hes put into it, we figure itll see 150 without a worry.

"Django" and "Ted" lead comedies, superheroes at MTV Movie Awards
"Django Unchained" and raunchy comedy "Ted" landed seven MTV Movie Awards nominations on Tuesday, leading a slew of comedies and superhero blockbusters among the nominees at the annual film awards voted for by youth audiences.
Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, 22, landed five nominations, including Best Female Performance for her role as young widow Tiffany in quirky comedy "Silver Linings Playbook," as well as Best Kiss, Best On-Screen Duo and Best Musical Moment with her co-star Bradley Cooper.
Cooper, 38, who plays bipolar character Pat in "Silver Linings," tied with Seth MacFarlane as pot-smoking foul-mouthed bear Ted for four nominations each.
"Silver Linings" picked up six nominations, including the night's top honor for Movie of the Year.
Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti Western-style "Django" scored an array of nominations including Best Villain for Leonardo DiCaprio and Best On-Screen Duo for DiCaprio as plantation owner Calvin Candie and Samuel L. Jackson as his slave, Stephen.
"Family Guy" creator MacFarlane's R-rated directorial debut "Ted" also picked up a Movie of the Year nod, along with Best Female Performance for Mila Kunis and Best WTF Moment.
While the star-studded Oscars, hosted by MacFarlane last month, honored critically acclaimed films, the MTV Movie Awards is a tongue-in-cheek, youth-orientated ceremony rewarding the box office hits often overlooked by the Academy Awards.
Hosted by "Pitch Perfect" actress and comedienne Rebel Wilson, the Movie Awards will hand out golden popcorn trophies in 12 categories, ranging from performances, Best Kiss, Best Fight and Best Villain.
"The Dark Knight Rises," the final installment in Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise which grossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office, landed five nods including Movie of the Year despite failing to pick up an Oscar nominations.
Superhero blockbuster "Avengers" and James Bond film "Skyfall," teenage coming-of-age film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and musical comedy "Pitch Perfect" all scored four nods each.
For the second year in a row, the "Twilight" franchise was snubbed, as final film "Breaking Dawn – Part 2" only received one nomination for star Taylor Lautner in the irreverent Best Shirtless Performance category.
"Twilight" used to reign at the awards as lead stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson dominated the Best Kiss category, but last year "Breaking Dawn – Part 1" only picked up one award, albeit for Movie of the Year.
The MTV Movie Awards have a long-standing tradition of adding cheeky categories each year, such as Biggest Badass Star and Sexiest Performance.
This year, Batman will face stiff competition from a male stripper, a werewolf, James Bond and a stuffed teddy bear for Best Shirtless Performance, as actors Christian Bale, Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig, Lautner and MacFarlane lock heads in the tightly contested category.
The Best Scared-As-S**T Performance category is another new addition this year, pitting five actors in roles that had thrilling terror-filled moments.
The category will see Lawrence from horror flick "House at the End of the Street" competing against Jessica Chastain in "Zero Dark Thirty," Alexandra Daddario in "Texas Chainsaw 3D," Martin Freeman in "The Hobbit" and Suraj Sharma in "Life of Pi" for the coveted golden popcorn trophy.

Sometime last week, Federal Judge Ricardo Urbina ruled against 77 leases for exploration for gas and oil drilling, including 103,000 acres around the canyonlands of southeastern Utah.
However in Blanding, despite the judge's order, the Sheepherder ignore the ruling and consented to drilling.
The dentist's drill shook the Sheepherder's head, sending vibrations into his ear and brain. With his numb mouth wide open and his head thrown back, he realized his fists were clinched in his jacket.
A tube was sucking his saliva as he wondered, "Is a mutton sandwich really worth all the drilling? Doesn't he know that the drilling might be in an empty hole?"
In his daze, Faith Hill was singing on the Colorado FM radio. He opened his eyes just in time to see a gas mask being put to his nose. Later when he came to, the gas mask was still there, and this time Johnny Rivers was singing.
The two dental assistants were busy talking about husbands, kids, kids classmates, wedding anniversaries, and their teen daughters looking at prom dresses on the internet. He tried to think about his sheep and wondered if his dad had shot the dogs that killed one of the sheep.
Finally the dentist said, "The stitches will dissolve in about a week, I like to check on you next week, here is a prescription for pain and something for the infection and we'll see in four months for the implants."
The Sheepherder mumbled thanks, almost smiled to show his Alfred E. Neuman look, and wondered, "A long time to wait for a mutton sandwich."
Sheepherder's dental problems began on the Brigham Young University athletic fields in 1967. A flag football game was being played between the Arizona Club and Sheepherder team - the Tribe of Many Feathers.
Towards the end of the game, as usual the Redskins were behind when the kickoff went to the Sheepherder. He ran past a couple of tacklers but ran head-on into another player. His front tooth kept on running. A search in the dark for the tooth proved futile.
While the Sheepherder was teaching art in 1970 at Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City, UT, a dentist put in a post for a brand new tooth. That tooth last for 42 years until this year, when a mutton rib won two out of three fall.
It was from Brigham City that Sheepherder went to the 1972 Presidental Inaugration for President Richard Nixon. Although Sheepherder didn't play an instrument except a rubber band or a shoe horn, he did know how to carry the Stars and Stripes with the Navajo Nation Band that was invited to the historic day in years past.
It was cold there and the rain fell off and on as we marched down the Pennsylvania Avenue past what seemed like thousands and thousands of people.
We were dressed in red velveteen shirts and white pants and red moccasins, silver belts, squash blossoms and a white headband.
The President and his wife and political friends were in a bullet-proof enclosure. As we finished the parade, we marched in front of protesters who were yelling at us.
"You crazy Indians, Nixon is your enemy! He'll steal your lands and take away your language and culture!"
Some of our band members were college students and began to argue with them and they came at us to fight us. And then they began to chase us.
Sheepherder was running with the American Flag back to the buses. While away from the protesters, Sheepherder slammed into a car and got a huge bruise. I think the police were in the area, so we were escorted safely back to our buses.
Despite the drama, we were able to attend festivities that night at a large hotel. In the crowded ballroom, there were three western bands. In one corner, a Pow Wow singing was going on and on the other side a large group of Navajos were singing popular songs appropriate for the winter season. The buses finally left the next day for Gallup, NM. With two drivers, it probably took 22 hours.
At Montezuma Creek dental clinic, a flipper was made. A flipper is false tooth that fits in the mouth and can be taken in and out. There is a problem with flippers. You sometimes forget where you left it. Mrs. Sheepherder said, "Put it in a certain place and you will always find it." Sometimes it is hard to do. The other day Sheepherder went to empty the trash and some other errands. When he got home he still had the trash with him.
This past summer, while herding sheep among the rocks at Borrego Pass, Sheepherder jumped off a four foot rock ledge and felt a pain in his back. As months went by, a pinch nerve was discovered. The backbone is pinched by swollen disk, so I tried a visit to the chiropractor.
In Blanding, electric pads are hooked up and the machine is turned on. It is supposed to help the muscles heal so Sheepherder submits to electric shock treatment.
The other option was to go to Salt Lake to the Spinal Clinic. While laying on the table Sheepherder thought he saw two nurses carry in a needle, but according to Mrs. Sheepherder it was only a 23 gauge needle. Medicine is shot close to the swollen disk, to heal and shrink it.
So far the results seems promising, so Sheepherder can abide by the Federal Judge's ruling, no more drilling.

The day of her passing, after spending hours at the hospital just coming to grips as a family, we began to accept the finality of her life. The hospital staff was very compassionate and allowed us to have a conference room for this very special time. They provided snacks and drinks, but once the affairs were in order we decided we needed to have lunch.
Lunch time allowed us to come together as a family in a restaurant that was one of her favorites. After lunch we went to her home and time passed until we needed to go to the funeral home to make the arrangements for her burial. Some pre-arrangements were made years ago when our father died in 1988. Since she remarried we were working with our step-father to decide on burial issues and the funeral. Gratefully financial costs were not an issue.
After making the burial decisions, which is very hard in such a situation, we focused on the funeral. We decided to keep it simple by using the chapel and facilities at the funeral home. This meant those attending could attend all the activities in one place. There was a separate viewing room in a very private setting, a chapel for the service that would accomodate the number of expected people and a room for hosting a catered luncheon following the service. The building has a lot of natural lighting and was well air-conditioned for the hot summer weather.
The key to the service was her favorite colors purple and lavender. We agreed upon the funeral service and included opening and closing prayers, two speakers, two songs with other recorded music, a video tribute of her life and a time for immediate family sharing of their memories of her life. The first speaker was our uncle, her older brother. He shared the stories of her early life. Then the second speaker was my husband who shared stories of her later life. The first song was "There is a Season" and the second was a musical medley.
Leaving the funeral home, we went out to have a late dinner. We ended a very stressful day on a note of companionship, the four siblings, our spouses and our step-father. The next day we once again returned to the funeral home in the evening to finalize the details. We delivered the chosen outfit for her to wear for the service. During this time we choose an officiator for the service, her local LDS bishop, and the honorary pallbearers - her sons, son in laws and grandsons. A lovely poem was chosen for the funeral program with a rainbow below, representing a saying on our father's headstone, "Look for the Rainbow." On her marker it will say, "I found my Rainbow."
We choose a lovely spray of flowers for the casket and another one standing by the podium. It included a large variety of flowers, mostly purple, which she would love. With ribbons indicating these were from her family, they stood near a large picture of her prepared from the same picture on the program cover.
The biggest challenges were writing an obituary and creating the video tribute. Thankfully the year before one of my blog posts was a tribute entitled, "My Memories of my Mother." She reviewed the post, giving me a few corrections, and then suggested that it could someday be used for her obituary. After changing the title to, "Memories of our Mother" it was included as an insert to the program. The short obituary for the newspaper was a bit easier to compose because of this post. The online information about writing obituaries and reading through some current ones in the newspaper made this easier to accomplish.
The blog post and her picture were also shared on the guest book of the memorial home and can be found at lincolnmemorialpk.com. If you visit the website you will find comments shared by family and friends and the entire collection of pictures that tell the story of her life. The pictures were shown as the video presentation. It took many hours and many people contributing to create this collection, which we will continue to treasure.
Once we had the pictures selected, we were able to provide the collection to the funeral home on a flash drive. They then posted it and allowed us to have access to organize the placement of each and identify each one. The one key that made this easier is that our family picture collection was scanned years ago and we could look through those files to select the best of them. My oldest daughter and her boyfriend created a wonderful collage with many of these pictures and it was displayed that day. It is 33"x24" and now resides in my office.
By the day of the funeral Saturday July 6, just one week after her passing, we felt at peace with the process. The funeral directors were wonderful in assisting and ensuring that things went well. The chapel was pretty much at capacity with her loved ones, family and friends. It was delightful to visit with so many people who were a part of her life. The catered lunch was great and there were only some minimal leftovers. Several beautiful bouquets and plants arrived and after the service these went to the homes of family members. Her final interment (she was cremated) will not be until September, her birthday month, as family from New York will be visiting then. We will then gather again as her family and celebrate her life another time.
No funeral is easy to plan, but overall we felt this was a great success. Pre-planning is wonderful, but in reality few people have done this. It is an honor to be her daughter, who for the last sixty years had the blessing of her sweet kind influence in my life. Not every family is blessed to be able to work together cooperatively in planning a funeral and celebration of our loved ones life. We are all extremely grateful that she formed the basis for the close family ties that continue to support us in our mourning.
Im Loving Memory of
Yvonne LuRae Cole Olsen Barker

Thinking Fans Comment Update Aug. 30: Kristen says ATWT writers finally got one right … while Oakdalian found the summer a mixed bag … and more. See Comments below.
By Patrick Erwin
What's been happening in Oakdale? It's been an interesting summer for As The World Turns as the show has been finding its balance after the departure of Martha Byrne (Lily) and several other high-profile departures of other characters earlier this year — including the losses of Jennifer Landon (Gwen), Jesse Soffer (Will) and Scott Bryce (Craig).
Here's a look at some of the show's front burner stories from this summer:
Parker and Liberty: The Internet message boards have indicated that fans have mixed feelings about this story. And I'll agree Liberty and mom Juicy Janet have
I really want to spotlight Kelley Menighan Hensley for praise. As Emily, she's sold us on every single story she's ever been in. (And that's a tall order!)
been overplayed. They've only been on for six months, and both characters were thrust to the front-burner almost immediately, first as Brad's instant family and then in this story.
But I've found this young love story to be moving and realistic. Much of the credit for that has to go to Mick Hazen, who is a great young actor. He's done a great job at playing [Read more…]

Mayor's PJ Party: Fun for a Good Cause
Don't think for a minute that just because it's OK to wear pajamas to the Mayor's PJ Party, everyone wusses out and shows up in street clothes, instead. The overwhelming majority of the 500 who turned out for it this year were in nightwear that included terrycloth robes, silk lounging pajamas, Dr. Dentons and flannel nighties.
"Ain't no party like a PJ party!" exclaimed Mayor Michael Hancock, whose love for the Denver Broncos was evident in his ensemble: logo'd pajama bottoms, a long-sleeved T-shirt with the word "Broncos" printed on the front, and slippers that also bore the team logo.
Then-mayor John Hickenlooper started the PJ Party to help fund Denver's Road Home, a 10-year initiative to end homelessness in the Mile High City; Mile High United Way is one of the key sponsors.
The reason now-Gov. Hickenlooper wasn't on hand for the festivities held at the Residence Inn City Center is "Because he knew Mayor Hancock would be wearing cooler pajamas than him," explained Jamie VanLeeuwen, Hickenlooper's senior adviser.
Truth be told, a LOT of people were wearing cool pajamas.
Cheryl Haggstrom, executive vice president of the Community First Foundation, was social media-savvy with a pair of PJs emblazoned with abbreviations used in text messages and online posts: LOL (laugh out loud/lots of love), BRB (be right back), XOXO (hugs and kisses), JK (just kidding), SUP (what's up?), TTYL (talk to you later). Cori Plotkin, founder and president of Barefoot PR, wore PJs designed by Claire Pettibone of New York, who is also designing the gown Plotkin will wear when she marries Tyler Streetman this summer.
John Hicks borrowed the tiger-striped robe that was an amenity in his Hotel Monaco room. "No one at the front desk seemed to notice — or mind — when I walked out wearing it," he said.
Food at the PJ Party was deluxe breakfast fare, things like shrimp grits from the Corner Office; smoked salmon and egg breakfast sandwiches from Rialto Cafe; chocolate chip or red devil's food pancakes from Snooze; and poached eggs and gnocchi from culinary students at Johnson & Wales University. Second Home had a bloody Mary bar and Rialto had bottles of bubbly at the ready to add sparkle to the orange and cranberry juices its staffers were also pouring.
Guests included Denver City Attorney Doug Friednash; Andrew Freedmann, chief of staff for Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia; Denver City Council members Debbie Ortega, Mary Beth Susman and Robin Kneich; former Councilwoman Marcia Johnson; former House Speaker Terrance Carroll; Anthony Graves and Jayne Buck from Visit Denver; Nancy and Allen Walters (she's with DaVita and he's the publisher of Colorado Avid Golfer); Sharon Knight, president/CEO of Warren Village, with board chair Tammy Abramovitz; Mary Spillane of Comcast; Realtor Juanita Chacon; Wells Fargo senior VP Pat Cortez and hubby Manuel Martinez of Holme Roberts & Owen; Penfield and Paulette Tate; and Bennie Milliner, executive director of Denver's Road Home.
Christine Benero, president and CEO of United Way's Mile High chapter, was elated with this year's success. "Our goal was to raise $500,000 and we have $454,000 in hand," she said at the start of the party. "By the time we finish counting, I think we're gonna do it."
Benero and Tami Door, who heads the Downtown Denver Partnership, were especially pleased that the Cashmere-level sponsors (those giving $25,000 or more to Denver's Road Home) included Suncor Energy, Residence Inn Denver City Center, PCL Construction, Gates, Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. and the Fulcrum Foundation. In addition, 18 companies signed on for $10,000 memberships in the Pinstripe Club, including Southwest Airlines, Anadarko, Brownstein Hyatt Farber & Schreck, DaVita, EnCana, Gibson Dunn and Greenberg Traurig.
"The business community has stepped up in a big way," Door observed.

She pounced
Alexander Skarsgard returned to LA yesterday and attended the GQ Men of the Year at the Chateau Marmont. Major moisting, right?
Unfortunately Alex was immediately hunted down by Kate Bosworth. She needs a friend right now especially since she's been widely exposed as a homewrecker. Having said that, Kate B loves using relationship woes for Alex's attention. And while Evan Rachel Wood is elsewhere shooting a movie, she's desperate for some attention and has taken the opportunity to pounce on another target. After all, even though he still hasn't taken legal action, Chris Martin is keeping his distance, fronting like it never happened. This girl takes rejection well. She just moves on to the next. But why is she so insecure???
Over in Australia, Ryan Kwanten was also at the GQ Men of the Year event working a darker head of hair. Sigh. Miss True Blood SO much.
Ryan's face is constantly clammy. Even when he's not in the bayou. Overactive pores?

Horatio™ font family
Designed by Esselte Letraset in 1971
Many designers during the 1920s were interested in reforming the alphabet, and wanted to reconcile letterforms with the machine and manufacturing technology of the age. Herbert Bayer at the Bauhaus was one of many designers who developed a universal alphabet," creating letters using only the simplest of geometric forms. Similar experiments in 1920s-style revivals were also created during the 1970s, most notably Herb Lubalin's ITC Avant Garde Gothic ."

Numerous Christmas markets spread the Christmas spirit in the city on the River Leine. In the historic Old Town and around the Marktkirche the traditional Christmas market beckons with 170 stalls in an atmospheric ambience. The historic Christmas village, where you can dive into the medieval lives of glass blowers, potters and chandlers is fascinating. Another highlight is the Finnish Christmas village on Ballhofplatz with a Lapland tent, Finnish specialities and crafts. Discover two more Christmas markets: at the main station and in the Lister Meile. By turning the wishing ring at the Oskar Winter fountain in the middle of the fir wood on Holzmarkt, your wishes will be fulfilled in the wishing well wood. A delight for the eyes and ears is the varied stage programme. Children's eyes go wide before the puppet actors, glass painters, fairytale tellers and on the merry-go-rounds. They become little bakers of their own in the Christmas bakery. Hannover awaits you in the glow of Christmas. Let yourself be abducted on a tour through the Christmas ambience by local guides.

Attending law school is an investment in your future, but it costs money. To help pay for it, you may wish to apply for financial aid. The first thing you must do is complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). By completing the FAFSA, you are applying for gift aid (scholarships and grants) and self-help programs (Federal Work-Study and loans). Filing a FAFSA is something that you must do every year in order to receive your financial aid.
The FAFSA and Renewal FAFSA are available to be completed online at www.fafsa.gov. The online version is the fastest way to apply for financial aid. You will need a FSA ID to complete and access your FAFSA. You will use your FSA ID to sign your FAFSA electronically. Students or their parents are encouraged to apply for a FSA ID. Your FSA ID can be used each year to sign your FAFSA and access your U.S. Department of Education records online. The web address to request your FSA ID is https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm
If you need a paper FAFSA mailed to you, you may request one by calling 800.433.3243.
Four Steps to Apply for Financial Aid
Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year in order to be considered for grants, loans, and work-study funds.
There is an easier and faster way for students/families to provide tax information when completing the FAFSA. You will be prompted to enter your FSA ID and link to the IRS web site. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Data Retrieval Tool will display your tax information and allow you to transfer the numbers directly into your FAFSA. The link to this tool is part of your FAFSA on the web application at www.fafsa.ed.gov
Step 1: Obtain an FSA ID
If you or at least one parent do not already have an FSA ID, request one immediately online at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm. The FSA ID will allow you to sign your FAFSA electronically.
Click on the following link to view the documentation on creating your new FSA ID.
Step 2: File your tax returns as early as possible
Families need to include taxable and non-taxable income on the FAFSA. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool is available to help applicants complete their FAFSA accurately.
- It may take several weeks for the IRS Retrieval process to be available to families once their federal tax returns are filed.
- Allow at least three weeks for the IRS Data Retrieval tool to become available once you file your tax return electronically.
- Allow eight weeks if you file paper tax returns for the IRS Data retrieval tool to be available.
Step 3: File a FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov
Complete the FAFSA each year as soon after January 1st as possible. Cleveland-Marshall does not have a priority date, but it is recommended to file your FAFSA early using the IRS Data Retrieval process to provide accurate tax information and avoid processing delays. It is recommended that Federal tax return(s) be filed before you complete your FAFSA.
Step 4: Following up-the process
If your financial aid file is selected for verification, you must submit tax and income information using one of the following two methods unless you/your parents file or are required to file a foreign or Puerto Rican tax return.
OPTION 1 - IRS Data Retrieval from FAFSA
Approximately three weeks after you/your parents file your/their federal tax return(s) electronically and six to eight weeks after mailing a paper tax return to the IRS, you/they may be able to update your FAFSA and copy the tax and income information from the IRS to the FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT). This is the preferred method for you to supply tax and income information to our office and will speed the processing of your financial aid.
OPTION 2 - IRS Tax Return Transcript
If you/your parents are not eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, or choose not to use it, you/they must instead request a Federal income tax return transcript from the IRS and submit it to our office. If you/your parents filed a joint return and are now separated, divorced, widowed or remarried, you/they must submit Federal income tax return transcripts as well as all W-2 forms. If you/your parents filed an amended tax return, you/they must submit both a Federal income tax return transcript and a signed copy of the amended tax return (1040X) to our office.
Tax Return Transcript (TRT) Steps
First-Time Applicants
Do not delay. You must be admitted to Cleveland-Marshall before you can be considered for financial aid. To complete your admission, click on the link to the admission process for Cleveland-Marshall. You will also need to make sure that all necessary financial aid documentation has been received. You can look in CampusNet in the FA Office tab under documents to check the status. You also should learn more about the types of financial aid.
All students must have an official final high school transcript on file at Cleveland State University before they can receive financial aid to pay their CSU bill. Students who do not have a high school diploma must submit an official copy of their GED certificate.
Continuing Students
If you are currently attending CSU and receiving financial aid, you must file a Renewal FAFSA to be considered for financial aid for the next academic year. You can file your Renewal FAFSA online at www.fafsa.gov after January 1.
Transfer Students
Your FAFSA for the current academic year must be on file at CSU, regardless of which semester you transfer to CSU. The current academic year at CSU would consist of fall, spring and summer, in that order. If you filed the FAFSA but did not add CSU as a receiving school, you need to access your FAFSA online and add CSU as a receiving school. Once your request has been processed and your admission is complete, we will be allowed to view your FAFSA and process your financial aid.
All transfer and readmitted students must submit an official final high school transcript, an official copy of the GED certificate or a final transcript showing that they earned an Associate Degree.
If you received financial aid at a different institution for part of the current academic year, aid offered for the remainder of the year at that school is not transferable. In addition, if you have loans at that institution, you will need to have them cancelled before you can receive loans at CSU. This may take several weeks. Once that is completed, we will determine what aid you have remaining and email you.
The aid that you receive at another school during the previous summer or during the current school year will impact the aid that you receive at CSU for the academic year. If you received aid at another institution, please inform Campus411 All-in-1 in order that we can adjust your financial aid award at CSU and avoid an overaward which would result in a balance owed to CSU.,
Once your transfer credit evaluation has been completed, you may check with Campus411 All-in-1 to see if you are eligible for any additional student loan funds. Loan amounts are based on your academic grade level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior).
Transfer students can also review frequently asked questions.
New transfer and returning students to CSU are encouraged to read carefully the Financial Aid Office Standards of Satisfactory Process Policy. Federal regulations require that you complete your academic program within 150% of the standard timeframe for your program. At CSU, 128 credits are used as the standard, with 192 attempted credits as the maximum credits for a Bachelor's degree. All credits are counted, even if you did not receive financial aid and even if the credits do not count towards graduation for your present academic program.
Once you reach the maximum number of attempted credits for your academic program, you are ineligible to receive financial aid.
Post-Bach program admits: All credits that you earned while at another school(s) and that are accepted, as transfer credits at CSU along with all attempted/earned credits at CSU are part of the number of credits needed for your second degree program. If you transfer in more than 191 credits, federal regulations will not allow CSU to offer you federal aid unless you are admitted into an approved program. An example of an approved program is the accelerated nursing program.
Graduate Students
Degree-seeking graduate students are eligible for student loans. The same FAFSA rules and regulations apply to graduate students and undergraduate students. In addition to student loans, you are eligible for a variety of assistantships to help you cover the cost of tuition. For financial aid purposes, half time enrollment is six (6) credit hours.
Non-degree graduate students may also be eligible for loans but this is based on the amount of money they are permitted to borrow as an undergraduate student. Non-degree graduate students are eligible for a one-time award consisting of three consecutive semesters of loan eligibility. Students must be enrolled for six credits per semester.
Law Students
Law students who are in need of financial aid must complete the FAFSA. For financial aid purposes, half time enrollment is six (6) credit hours.
Eligibility for Summer Pell Grant Funds
You may still be eligible to receive Pell Grant funding for the summer but only if you have not used 100% of your Federal Pell Grant Award for 2015-2016.
If you have not used 100% of your Pell Grant for 15-16, you may have remaining Pell eligibility left to be used during the summer at CSU. To figure out what semesters you should look at for remaining eligibility, you would look at Summer 2015 but only if you attended and received Pell at another school, otherwise you would just look at Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 semesters. Generally, this availability is for students who attended CSU part-time Fall and/or Spring therefore having a percentage of eligibility remaining.
The Federal Pell schedule of 100% includes the following breakdown for a semester:
- Full-time enrollment (12 or more credits per semester) = 50% Pell Grant
- Three-quarters time enrollment (9, 10 or 11 credits per semester) = 37.5% Pell Grant
- One-half - time enrollment (6, 7 or 8 credits per semester) = 25% Pell Grant
- Less than one-half time (5 or less credits per semester) = 12.5% Pell Grant
If you attended fall semester 2015 and spring semester 2016 full-time, you will not have any Pell Grant eligibility for Summer semester, 2016. If you enroll full-time fall 2015 and only half-time for spring 2016, you will have 25% of your Pell award that can be used towards summer 2016. These examples are based on students meeting all financial aid eligibility requirements.
Eligibility for Direct Stafford Loans:
If you are attending at least six credits this summer at CSU and have Direct Stafford Loan eligibility remaining from the 2015-2016 academic year, you should complete the Summer Aid Application. The Financial Aid Office will determine your eligibility. To borrow loans, you must enroll for a minimum of six credit hours at CSU.
Eligibility for PLUS loans (Parents of Dependent Student):
Student/Parent must complete a PLUS request form and submit the form for credit evaluation.
Eligibility for University Scholarships:
There are no scholarships offered in the summer unless your academic program or college offers the awards. Honors Program and Athletic Department awards are determined by those departments.
Eligibility for summer aid for Study Abroad:
If you wish to enroll in an approved study abroad program, you must have the Study Abroad Consortium agreement completed and all appropriate approvals submitted in order to have your aid disbursed. Aid eligibility is determined based on same awarding standards as regular CSU enrolled students.
Eligibility for Law Student financial aid:
If you are a law student and wish to be awarded summer aid, you must enroll in a minimum 6 credits at CSU this summer. You will be awarded any remaining Direct Stafford loan eligibility remaining from the 2015-2016 academic year. Additionally, you will be offered a Graduate PLUS loan. If you wish to be considered for this credit-worthy loan, you will need to complete and submit the Graduate PLUS form.
Transient Students – CSU students who attend another institution
CSU does not provide financial aid to you if you are enrolled as a "visiting student" at another institution. Please check with your Advisor and the University Registrar rules regarding transient permission to take classes outside of CSU. There are a few specialized programs that are exempt but if you are in one of those programs, you will be notified about the exemption.
Visiting Students—Students from other institutions attending CSU
Non-CSU students need to contact their home school. Please note: You must make payment arrangements with CSU regardless of any aid that may be processed by your home institution.
If you are not enrolled at CSU as degree-seeking student, you must obtain any financial aid assistance from the school that is granting your degree (home school). You should check with your financial aid office to see what aid might be available while studying at CSU.
Generally, you will need to complete a consortium agreement, which can be obtained from your home school. These agreements require a signature from CSU's Financial Aid Office. All schools disburse financial aid on different dates and will make aid checks available directly to the school or to the student. Therefore, if funding will arrive after the tuition due date, you may wish to use one of the available payment options.

With nondurable identity your objects will not have a unique identity in the datastore. This type of identity is typically for log files, history files etc where you aren't going to access the object by key, but instead by a different parameter. In the datastore the table will typically not have a primary key. To specify that a class is to use nondurable identity with JDO you would add the following to the MetaData for the class.
<class name="MyClass" identity-type="nondurable"> ... </class>
or using annotations, for example
@PersistenceCapable(identityType=IdentityType.NONDURABLE) public class MyClass { ... }
DataNucleus provides limited support for "nondurable" identity currently. Any class marked as "nondurable" will, for RDBMS datastores, have a table with no primary-key. It will support persistence of records into the datastore. Records can be deleted using SQL bulk delete statements. What is not currently supported is the ability to delete a particular object, or update a particular object without affecting all others with the same parameter values.
