I am a friend or relative of resident
Very caring staff - they are not even staff...they are like our family. My Mom has been one of their Santa Clarita Assisted Living Facilities for over a year. Even though my gets therapy outside the home, the staff also continues with her in home care. Not a lot of places will do this. Thanks Circle Of Circle Staff. I highly recommend them.
I visited this facility
This is Boarding Care home for seniors that is cozy and is very warm. The staff is very attentive and shows an emotional connection to their residents. Staff is there 24/7 and there is one staff for every 2 residents. They are very hands on and make sure your loved ones needs are met. The home is beautifully decorated and seems to have been designed with great care. The menus are well planned and great care is placed on providing for all dietary needs of all residents. The residents are well cared for they are bright, alert and engaged. They really seem to feel at home here and said they love the caregivers.

What's up? Seriously? Everyone in the top 20 or so is in a clan, and then there are so few people in clans between 2.5 - 4 mil score. This causes tons of problems for people in this range as the upper level characters (typically ones with a million MPR over another player) farm down and destroy people and forces the ones with there to take more damage because there aren't enough people in clans.
Basically, this post serves 3 purposes.
1) Ranting. I'm sick of being farmed 2k-3k CP by people with 2 million more MPR than me. But that's a part of the clan life.
2) Telling you weirdos out there to get in clans. Just BEING in a clan ups your rewards by something like 5%. It wouldn't even be hard to stay positive if everyone would get in clans.
3) Well, and this is the discussion point, are clans right now feasible for the majority of players? Besides the management area (please, Jon, seriously, something needs to be done with the way clan membership/MPR allowance works), are CP easy enough to maintain? Are the rewards worth the extra effort and sacrifice needed? (15% at the best, but how much in rewards are you losing by keeping a list full of clannies?)
Lastly, if your MPR is above 3 mil and/or you haven't seen a positive CB in years, please don't say it's easy to get a list full of clan people without sacrificing rewards. It's not. Make an NCB if you don't believe me. | http://www.carnageblender.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=002auk | 2013-05-18T10:41:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
In October 2011, Carnegie Hall celebrates Tchaikovsky—the superstar who opened the Hall in May 1891. In the July episode of From the Carnegie Hall Archives, Museum Director and Archivist Gino Francesconi explores the connections between Carnegie Hall, New York, and Tchaikovsky. Gino reveals how—amidst the turmoil of the decline of the Soviet Union in the late 1980’s—Carnegie Hall was earmarked to become the guardian of many irreplaceable Tchaikovsky artifacts, including the Bible in which the great composer hid some flowers at Niagara Falls.

The Black Bear Golf Course in Longs hosted the 3A state golf championships. The Saint James Sharks held a 4 shot lead heading into the second and final round. The Sharks were poised to win its first ever golf state championship as Andrew Harvey's approach on 15 came within 2 inches of the hole for a tap in birdie. On the par 5 18th, the Sharks thought they won the championship when Austin Frick sank an eagle putt, but when the scorecards were tallied both Saint James and AC Flora stood tied at 588 for the two day total among ten golfers.
The playoff hole was on 18 as the top four golfers from each squad played head to head with the low aggregate score claiming the 3A title. A steady rain came down as two Sharks found the water on their 2nd shot. AC Flora played it safe and outscored Saint James by three shots (22-19) to claim its second consecutive 3A golf state championship.

Reds have a renaissance flair, complimenting everything from burgundy to poppy. These richer colors are then balanced by the presence of a neutral palette of antique pinks, beige and black. Have fun and mix up your look with lots of your favorites, like turquoise, plum, maroon or the many shades of navy and indigo.
Shades of red are an important look straight off the runway, and rich fiery hues are created here in various red and orange natural gemstones. Spicy pumpkin and ochre shades add a touch of softness to this energetic palette and compliment the warm brown neutrals of the season.
Red gemstones in shades ranging from raspberry reds, orange-red, bright red coral and deep burnt red are displayed in multi-strand chunky necklaces, bold beaded bracelets, and interspersed with silver twist tube beads.

Is the fully loaded Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZDI priced at Rs.8.50 lakh a better MPV than the similarly priced Toyota Innova E that costs Rs. 9.14 lakh? Let’s find out!
Maruti Suzuki has just launched its 7-seater, Ertiga targeting urban buyers looking for a compact MPV. The Ertiga looks more like an elongated small car than an MPV, thanks to its sporty styling and small dimensions compared to full sized family MPVs such as the Innova.
The Innova has so far been the first choice among MPV buyers who are concerned about reliability and maintenance costs. One of the USPs of the Innova is its car like drivability and long term reliability. Bu the Ertiga could shake things up. Read our Maruti Suzuki Ertiga road test here.
For a buyer with a budget of Rs. 9 lakh the newly launched Ertiga ZDI and the Innova E are both fair game. But which MPV offers you the best value for your hard earned money? Read on to find an answer.
Performance and handling
Being a compact MPV, does the Ertiga feels less powerful than the bigger Innova? Not actually, for the Ertiga’s 1.3-litre diesel motor (same as in SX4 diesel) puts out 89 bhp which although a hefty 12 bhp lesser than the Toyota Innova’s 2.5-litre engine produces the same 200 Nm of torque. Hence, despite slightly less power, the Ertiga which weighs 440 kg less than the Innova, will accelerate faster and will be more fuel efficient as well.
Handling wise, the Ertiga has an edge for it is built on a monocoque chassis. Therefore, body roll is non existent when compared to the bigger Innova. Even when you push it to its limits the Ertiga is under control for the most part. The Ertiga ZDI also has ABS which makes it safe during hard and panic braking. The Innova exhibits minimal body roll, but when compared to the Ertiga, it falls a bit short in terms of handling.
The Ertiga has an edge over the Innova in terms of drivability as well as handling.
Photo: For its size the Ertiga has ample space but compared to the Innova it's rather cramped.
Space and comfort
The Innova is 65 mm wider, 75 mm taller and has 10 mm longer wheelbase than the Ertiga. Hence, in terms of shoulder room and headroom, the Innova offers more space than the Ertiga. It is important to note that the Ertiga is only as wide as the Swift (1,695 mm) and hence, it offers less shoulder room than the Innova.
While the front row seats in both the Innova and the Ertiga offer excellent all-round support, things turn out differently when we compare the second and third row of these MPVs. For instance, the second row in the Innova can actually seat three passengers more comfortably than in the Ertiga.
The third row in the Ertiga has just adequate legroom but lacks the level of shoulder room and head room offered in the Innova’s third row. But both the MPVs don’t offer proper under thigh support in the third row, making it uneasy for tall passengers during long journey. That said, the Innova is spacious and the second and third row passengers will feel more comfortable sitting in the Innova than in the Ertiga.
Comfort wise, the Ertiga offers plush seats on all rows while the seats in the Innova could do with a bit more cushioning. The adjustable middle row seats can be slid back to create more leg space. Besides, the middle row seats, just like the front row seats, can be reclined backwards to a comfortable position.
Like the Innova, the Ertiga too offers a 60:40 split in the middle row and both the second and third row can be folded flat to free up a cavernous boot space of 735 litres. If the third row alone is folded, the boot space available is 480 litres.
Summing up, the Innova is more spacious than the Ertiga but the Ertiga feels a bit more comfortable than the Innova.
Photo: In terms of looks the Ertiga is a good looking MPV, but the Innova with its recent face lift too looks good
Looks
Looks of MPVs are generally dull but the Ertiga and Innova are exceptions for they are easy on our eyes. The Ertiga has a front face with a sporty grille and peeled out headlamps as in the new Swift. At certain angles, it looks like a Ritz front on steroids. The side profile has a sporty appeal, thanks to the chunky wheel arches and the slightly raised shoulder line. The rear of the Ertiga is not as attractive as its front due to the bland boot door design.
Photo: The new Innova with its redesigned headlamps and grille does look fresher and younger
The 2012 Innova has refreshed headlamps and a new radiator grille with thick horizontal chrome slats that give it a premium feel. The side profile remains plain while at the rear, the windscreen is wide offering good rear visibility for the driver. The tail lamp cluster gets a new clear lens treatment, but we feel the old model had good looking tail lamp cluster than the new one.
While the Ertiga has good front looks, the Innova stands out with its elegant rear design, so it’s a tie in the looks department.
Photo: In terms of features the top of the line Ertiga wins hands down against the Innova E.
Features
The Ertiga ZDI gets ABS and dual front airbags that are not offered in the Innova E variant. Similarly, the Ertiga ZDi comes with power adjustable outside mirrors with turn indicators, integrated audio system features USB and aux-in and steering mounted audio controls and rear roof-mounted AC blower with independent controls for rear seat passengers. These features are not offered in the Innova E variant as it comes with minimal features such as power steering with tilt adjust and manual AC. Read more about the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga’s features here.
Therefore, features-wise, the Ertiga ZDI simply wins over the Innova E hands down.
Price, mileage and VFM
The Ertiga ZDI is priced at Rs. 8.50 lakh which is Rs. 64,000 cheaper than the Innova E variant. Mileage-wise, the Ertiga diesel offers 20.77 kmpl (ARAI-certified mileage) while the Innova diesel offers 13 kmpl only.
Overall, the Ertiga does have an edge over the Innova when it comes to price and mileage even though the Ertiga is smaller than the Innova.
Pros and Cons
Verdict
The Ertiga ZDI has an edge over the Innova E in terms of price, drivability, handling, safety & comfort features as well as mileage. Hence, if the rear seat space is not a major factor in your buying decision, the Ertiga ZDI is definitely a better package than the Innova E.
its a maruti , it can never take on a toyota ever, moreover Ertiga wont be able to go off the road as compared to innova. And also the seating pleasure in innova is way better than the Ertiga.
in terms of mileag,price,features and A.S.S. Maruti can win but in terms of looks,space,quality Toyota is the clear winner....Innova Rocksss.
With INNOVA its a Premium feeling, Its a Toyota After all.
NO where does the 1.3L engine of Ertiga stands in comparison to the 2.5L Toyota Innova.
I have an Innova and an Ertiga. Except more comfortable sitting for upto 8 an luggage, no where is the Ertiga less than the Innova. In fact it is much easier to drive in the city, much more fuel efficient, sufficient pulling power, and definitely much much more cheaper on the pocket. I am comparing my personal vehicles 1 to 1. In the Innova, you don't get the Abs and airbags below 14.5 to 15 lakh on d, in Ertiga it is available at below 10 lakh. Just saying Innova or Toyota is better, does not take away the money factor. Most of the times you do not necessarily need the comforts of the Innova.
If you need a people mover go for the Innova or even the Xylo, but if you need a family car in place of a sedan(not an all time MUV) go for the Ertiga with eyes closed (and more money in your pockets:-)) | http://www.cartoq.com/can-the-maruti-suzuki-ertiga-beat-the-toyota-innova/ | 2013-05-18T10:13:02 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Nearly. If you’re like us, you are upset by the billions of dollars in economic costs, thousands of human deaths, and deep and irreversible ecological damage that these species cause. But what can any of us do to solve the problems caused by invasive species? Here are a few suggestions.
Don’t add to the problem by releasing potentially harmful new invaders into the wild. Don’t buy exotic new plants for your garden, unless they are already widely planted in your region or have been shown to be harmless. Many of our most problematic invaders started out as “desirable” garden plants, or as insects or diseases hitchhiking on those plants.
Likewise, don’t release pets into the wild or dump your aquarium or bait bucket. Every year, thousands of unwanted pets are dumped into the wild. Besides being cruel to the pets, some of them (like the Burmese pythons in the Everglades and the snakeheads that turned up in Orange County) end up creating big problems.
And don’t try to smuggle fresh produce, live plants, or cute pets past the customs officials into the U.S. Some of these smuggled items, or the diseases that they carry, get into the wild and cost us big bucks.
Don’t move dirty stuff into clean environments. For example, moving insect-infested firewood (most firewood is insect-infested) or boat trailers festooned with aquatic plants into regions not infested with pests are good ways to speed the spread of problematic invaders. Don’t move firewood, and always clean your boat and trailer before launching them into a new lake or river. And use common sense about other practices that may move items contaminated with invaders from place to place.
Here are a few things that you needn’t worry about. You don’t need to go out and kill all of the non-native species in your yard, if they are harmless or already widely distributed in the region. It’s OK to plant non-native species that are already well-established in the region. Even though invaders like oriental bittersweet and Japanese barberry cause problems, they are so widely spread through the Hudson Valley that one or two more or less in your yard won’t make any difference in the bigger picture. You don’t need to bother with weed pulls intended to rid the world of well-established species. However, you could help with campaigns that have specific, attainable goals, like removing an aggressive plant from a sensitive nature preserve, or pulling water chestnuts from a bay to allow boat access.
But we are not going to solve the invasive species problem with just these individual actions. Too many harmful species are coming into the country through pathways like ballast water and the pet and horticulture trades, which are not easily controlled by our individual actions. We need collective action to adopt and enforce laws and regulations.
You can help spur these collective actions by writing to your elected representatives or to advocacy groups that are concerned with protecting the environment. Tell them you’re concerned about our inadequate responses to the challenges of invasive species, or express your opinions about specific proposals for new laws or regulations. If you don’t know what laws or regulations are being discussed, visit the website of the National Environmental Coalition on Invasive Species at, which keeps track of important news about invasive species.
Your letters can serve as an important counterweight to powerful industry forces that are looking out for their own narrow interests at our expense. Even if you don’t know about specific legislation, your expressions of concern can at least get your elected official to start thinking about (or maybe even fixing) this problem. You can help solve this important environmental problem. | http://www.caryinstitute.org/newsroom/you-can-aid-fight-against-invasives?page=0%2525252C2%25252C4%252C3 | 2013-05-18T10:45:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Success in a Ph.D. program requires that you are ready for independent study. One of the surprising and delightful parts of graduate work is that it is largely dependent on your motivation to work hard, your ability to communicate productively with others in a team, your resourcefulness in finding ways to solve problems, and your ability to persevere. Graduate research requires that you acquire the skills to ask and answer your own scientific questions.

The age old question of how important is length? Well in terms of your website’s Title Tag and in the context of SEO well it can mean all the difference. In today’s whiteboard Friday post on the SEOmoz blog Cyrus Shepard explains that they recommend your title tag length to be 70 characters max. The main reasoning behind this is that the google results only show 70 characters and thus the user will only see what is in that small part of the title when they are searching. So lets take for example “Pittsburgh malpractice attorney” and type that in to google search. As you scan down the page of results you will see some title tags with infamous “…” added to the title of their result. That is because there is more than 70 characters in the pages title and google want’s you to know that. Simple enough right?
Now this doesn’t mean that if you go over 70 characters you will be struck with lightening from the google gods and your site will be sent into an SEO hell. It just means be aware of what the user will see. Anything over 70 characters is basically for google’s eyes only and well now your just being a regular old SEO, congratulations.
An Even better reason to keep it short and simple is like Michael Gray mentioned here, Social Media!!!! You want people to be able to re-tweet, like, share, +1 your golden content to their social heart’s content. Why because it means more exposure for you which means more visitors to your site, which means more natural links, which means higher rankings which means more traffic, which means more business, which means more revenue, which MEANS you get to take that vacation in Maui your wife always wanted. Long story short, the rule of thumb is length matters, keep it to 70 characters when possible, and know what content has viral possibilities. | http://www.casedetails.com/2011/09/30/does-title-length-really-matter/ | 2013-05-18T10:40:17 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Millions of adults participate in gambling with few or no negative consequences. However, gambling has the potential to become addictive and that’s the catch.
It’s estimated that 80% of college students have engaged in gambling in the past year. Close to 20% report gambling on a weekly basis and 5% have a true gambling problem. | http://www.cashcourse.org/dcctrio/articles/articletype/categoryview/categoryid/109 | 2013-05-18T10:52:46 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Thursday, June 25, 2009
Casino-Free Philadelphia and the No Casino in the Heart of Our City Coalition launched a joint office at 718 Market Street — which just happens to be located a stone's throw from the proposed Foxwoods site.
Since the political process for forcing slots parlors on Philadelphia has been a sham from the beginning, we thought we'd hold our own grand opening circus — to shine a light on the mediocre performances our local politicians have been staging. Features included The Incredible Two-Faced Mayor, The Invisible Plan, High-Flying Casino Economics — without a net, City Council Contortions, The Foxwoods Site Shell Game, The Amazing Shrinking Democracy, and numerous Daring Feats of Doublespeak!

Quinn calls IL gaming bill “excessive” but leaves door open
June 2, 2011
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has called a bill that would triple the supply of gaming statewide “excessive,” but he wouldn’t commit to vetoing it.
The measure, which was passed by both houses of the state legislature, provides for five new casinos, including one in downtown Chicago, the addition of slot machines to seven racetracks and the expansion of nine existing riverboats. All told, it could raise up to $1.5 billion in upfront licensing fees for the cash-strapped state and increase the number of gaming positions from 12,000 currently to 39,200.
“I have told the legislators over and over again the people of Illinois do not want an excessive gambling bill that’s top heavy, and I think I reflect the public sentiment on that,” Quinn said yesterday in a news conference, while restating his conditional support for the downtown casino. “In Chicago, I have said I can see if it’s properly done, an opportunity for a gambling casino. But once the General Assembly got this subject, both House and Senate, it got more and more top heavy.”
The bill is also opposed by the Illinois Casino Gaming Association, whose executive director, Tom Swoik, told the Chicago Sun-Times that, “going from 12,000 gaming positions to 39,000 doesn’t make a lot of sense,” seeing that statewide casino revenues have declined 32 percent in the last three years. He estimates that passage of the measure as is would result in additional declines of 20 to 30 percent.
Quinn could use amendatory veto powers to change the bill, but first, the Illinois Senate must consider a motion filed by Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) to reconsider the vote. The Senate adjourned last week without addressing the motion.

In Reply to: Re: Deportation posted by Agreeing on August 27, 2004 at 12:50:50:
Most Mexicans are descendents of the original inhabitants of central and north america so they've as much right (if not more) to be in the US as the Europeans who've been coming over for the last 500 years.
Also, if you sent everyone back to Mexico tomorrow morning who would mow the lawns, mind the kids, clean the aprtments? Are you telling me that american citizens would be lining up for these jobs?
I live in a Mexican neighborhood in Atlanta and they're the hardest working people I've ever seen. They keep their heads down and get on with it...
I agree with the person above who said that the solution is to create better living conditions in the countries where these people are coming from. It may not be the wealthier countries responsibility to do this but it would stem the flow of imigration.
Look at Ireland - massive imigration up until the 90s when US/European investment helped to boost the economy...

Implemented in 1998, Walk the Talk seeks to promote greater awareness and understanding of gender and leadership issues and their impact on Volvo’s business development, managers, and the organization as a whole. The program promotes dialogue between male and female managers by giving men specialized training. The overarching goal of Walk the Talk is to increase the number of women in management at Volvo. The company seeks to achieve this goal by increasing managers’ knowledge of gender and leadership issues, and changing attitudes within the organization. Volvo also focuses its training and development efforts in Walk the Talk on senior male managers.
An excerpt from this practice was published in 2009 in Engaging Men in Gender Initiatives: What Change Agents Need to Know.

Property company London & Regional (L&R) has fought off a number of bidders to acquire the 198-bedroom Crowne Plaza Cambridge for a price which is believed to be in excess of the asking figure of £35m.
The hotel, which includes a reception room for 300 and health and fitness facilities, was put up for sale and marketed by Christie & Co, after the previous owner, the Quinn Group, went into administration
L&R's portfolio currently includes three Hilton hotels in London - in Park Lane, Trafalgar Square and Green Park. The company's owners, Ian and Richard Livingstone, also own two leading country house hotels, Chetwton Glen and Cliveden.
Jeremy Jones, director of corporate hotels at Christie & Co, said: "L&R has made yet another excellent acquisition with the Crowne Plaza Cambridge, and we are delighted to have concluded a deal on behalf of the seller. The opportunity to acquire the hotel made for an extremely competitive sales process, which was reflected in a highly competitive bidding to secure this profitable hotel which benefits from a leading global brand and incumbent manager in InterContinental Hotels Group."

Many years ago, when I was in the process of becoming Catholic, I read Catholicism and Fundamentalism by Catholic Answers president and founder, Karl Keating. It was in that book that I first came across a popular quote by Bishop Fulton Sheen that is often repeated today by Catholics discussing the phenomenon of anti-Catholic bigotry:...

Answer
It is a mistake to believe that Jesus wasn't successful in influencing people to believe in him. The Pharisees and chief priests who had him arrested and killed testify otherwise. When Jesus entered triumphantly into Jerusalem, the Pharisees exclaimed, "Look, the whole world has gone after him" (Jn 12:19). When the chief priests and scribes were plotting a way to arrest and kill Jesus, they said, "Not during the festival [Passover], for fear that there may be a riot among the people" (Mk 14:2). The plotting and arrest were done at night for fear that the people would revolt. He was seized in Jerusalem where he had come for only a few short visits; most of his preaching and miracles were done in Galilee. The original Jewish converts lost their Jewish identity once they intermingled with Gentile Christians. This, along with the fact that modern Jews are descendants of those who rejected Jesus, gives us the mistaken notion that few were influenced by him 2,000 years ago. | http://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/why-didn39t-jesus39-preaching-and-miracles-convince-more-jews-to-follow-him | 2013-05-18T11:03:45 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

.- Two congressmen on Tuesday responded to President Barack Obama’s commencement speech at the University of Notre Dame, calling on him to honor pro-life consciences by rejecting the possible cancellation of federal conscience protection rules for pro-life medical workers.
Speaking at a Washington, D.C. press conference and also sending a letter to the President, Reps. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and Chris Smith (R-NJ) noted President Obama’s Notre Dame commencement speech remark that he wanted to “honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion.” Expressing their agreement on the need for a conscience clause, the representatives’ letter asked that President Obama end the White House Office of Management and Budget’s review of the Department of Health and Human Services’ conscience protection rules enacted by the Bush administration. They also asked him to “completely forgo” their rescindment.
“In addition, we urge you to commit to defending conscience protections in future rulemaking that affects both individual and institutional health care providers,” they wrote to the president.
“We should reduce the number of abortions by continuing the restrictions on abortion funding… We urge you to use all the tools at your disposable to keep conscience protections in place and reduce the number of abortions in the United States,” Reps. Sensenbrenner and Smith continued.
“If this Administration wants to be the Administration of choice, then all people need to have their choices protected,” Rep. Sensenbrenner said at the press conference. “The religious and moral views of health care workers should be respected. Workers should have the right to refuse to participate in an abortion procedure without the fear of losing their job or being discriminated against.”
“We’re simply asking President Obama to ensure that his deeds match his words,” said Rep. Smith, who co-chairs the House Pro-Life Caucus.
He added that President Obama could “honor the conscience” of pro-life workers simply by stopping efforts to rescind what Rep. Smith called the “fundamental right” to refuse to participate in procedures they find “morally reprehensible.”
“Protecting conscience is the truly pro-choice position and respects the diversity of opinion in our society as well as the sanctity of life,” he continued.
Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) also attended the press conference.
The conscience protection rules implement existing federal laws by requiring hospitals, clinics, researchers and medical schools to sign written certifications as a prerequisite to receiving Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) funding. The rules also forbid state and local governments which receive federal grants from discriminating against pro-life hospitals and other institutions.
A December 2008 HHS announcement said the rules would “increase awareness of and compliance with” federal laws. The rules also designated the HHS Office for Civil Rights as an entity to receive violation complaints.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has supported the conscience protection regulations, citing in a Sept. 12, 2008 letter the “growing hostility on the part of some professional organizations and advocacy groups to rights of conscience in health care” and describing other “undisguised hostility to conscience rights.” | http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/congressmen_call_on_obama_to_honor_prolife_consciences_by_keeping_hhs_regs/ | 2013-05-18T10:21:09 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Here's an interesting thought (at least I think so)...
Terrell Owens will be a free agent since he only signed a one-year deal with the Bills. The Panthers are in need of another WR to complement Smitty, and it would most likely take 2-3 years before a rookie is ready to assume the role. Would it be a good idea to sign T.O. to a 2-3 year deal as a bridge to a rookie WR pick?
Think about it: T.O. still has game. Sure, he's slipped over the past few years, but he would be better than putting a rookie in and just hoping for the best. He's not the dominate force that he once was, and he's not going to be a #1 receiver, but he could be a great #2 on the opposite side of Smitty.
I know he has problems getting along with teammates (especially quarterbacks), but in most cases his gripes come when his team isn't playing well (or when he isn't getting the ball). Do you guys think he is worth the risk? He may be a locker room distraction from time to time, but he has never done anything illegal or given any problems other than the occasional whining that most primadonna receivers in the league give.
I think he might be worth a look. Anyone who has thoughts on the matter feel free to add them in the comments.
Poll
Should the Panthers try to sign Terrell Owens?
Yes, he is the perfect fit. (13 votes)
Maybe, but only at the right price. (33 votes)
No, he's too big of a distraction to even consider it. (42 votes)

Low-input heifer development
The traditional recommendation for developing replacement heifers is to feed them to achieve 65 percent of their mature weight by the beginning of the breeding season. This recommendation was developed decades ago based upon some research that indicated that almost all heifers would attain puberty by 65 percent of mature weight. However, some recent research may call this long held recommendation into question.
Researchers from Nebraska (Martin et al., 2008. Journal of Animal Science 86, p. 451-459) conducted a very interesting study. These researchers fed crossbred heifers to achieve either 55 percent or 50 percent of their mature weight by breeding season. The heifers were exposed to fertile bulls at a ratio of one bull to 25 heifers. The heavier heifers were exposed to bulls for 45 days, while the lighter heifers were exposed for 60 days. Interestingly, there was no difference in conception rate between these two groups – the conception rate was a very acceptable 88 percent. These data would seem to indicate that a target breeding weight of 65 percent may need to be reconsidered in some situations.
Let’s take a look at what a reduced target breeding weight can mean. If we assume that mature weight of an example herd of cows is 1,200 pounds, then our 65 percent target breeding weight would be 780 pounds. If we assume we weaned a 450-pound heifer calf at 210 days, then we need this heifer to gain 330 pounds in the next 200 days. That is 1.65 pounds per day. During the winter, an average daily gain (ADG) this high will likely require good quality pasture or hay and a significant amount of supplement. If we reduced our target to 50 percent, then the required ADG is only 0.75 pounds per day. This gain could likely be achieved by grazing dormant native range with minimal protein supplementation. This low input program would likely reduce expenses and labor requirements. It is also possible that a low input development system would challenge these heifers a little, and the least efficient and least adapted heifers would be eliminated from the herd.
There are a few issues to consider with developing heifers to lighter weights. Obviously, there is a point at which heifers that are too light in weight won’t cycle and therefore won’t get bred. Secondly, in the Nebraska research, calves born from heifers bred at 50 percent of their mature weight were, on average, seven days younger and 13 pounds lighter than calves born from the 55 percent group. However, the lighter heifers cost an average of $17 less to develop than the heavier heifers.
Every ranch has a unique set of resources and opportunities. Be sure to put a pencil to the decisions you are making and determine which production practices may pay off in your situation. We may not be ready to recommend that you reduce your heifer breeding weight target based upon this one study, but don’t get caught in the trap of doing things the same way just because that is the way you’ve always done them.

This was a Poem written by Robert Burns ,the Great Scots Poet, after reading Professor Sir P Batesons's Report that for around 40 years many of the Health Problems in Dogs has been known about, this surely applies to our Cavalier Breed's MVD Problem, when the Cavalier Breeders were warned 27 years ago by Dr P.Darke about how serious and wide-spread the MVD Problem was in Cavaliers, that at the CKCS AGM Last year it was stated that 50% of Cavaliers will have a Heart Murmur at 5 years of age,this is no better than it was 18 years ago.
Where have those Cavalier Breeders been in those 27 years who are professing they have been doing so much for the MVD Problem in the Breed?

WILL CONGRESSIONAL TAX-WRITERS EVADE THE BUDGET RESOLUTION LIMIT ON TAX CUTS?
Tax-Writers Could Do So Through Backloading and Other Gimmicks
by Joel Friedman, Richard Kogan, and Robert Greenstein
Summary
Congressional negotiators have agreed to set the overall size of the tax cut at $1.25 trillion over the next ten years (plus an additional $100 billion for economic stimulus, to be split in some proportion between this year and next year). The congressional tax-writing committees must now draft legislation that meets the plan's $1.25 trillion tax-cut target. The issue is how these committees will modify the President's tax-cut package which costs $1.775 trillion over ten years according to the latest Joint Committee on Taxation estimates to fit within Congress' somewhat smaller target. These committees will be under pressure not to scale back the President's proposed tax cuts very much, but rather to rely on budget gimmicks to shoehorn in most of his tax cuts and possibly additional tax reduction measures as well (such as pension tax cuts). As House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Thomas said earlier this year, the trick is "to get a pound and a half of sugar in a one-pound bag."
- "Backloading" tax cuts that is, delaying the date on which they become fully effective is one gimmick likely to be employed.
- Another gimmick is to rely on the Alternative Minimum Tax to cancel out, on paper, a significant share of the income tax cuts, thereby reducing their cost. This constitutes a gimmick because virtually all observers agree that legislation will be enacted in the next few years to overhaul the AMT so it does not start to affect millions of middle-class taxpayers later in the decade; under that "must pass" legislation, the AMT would not have much of an effect in cancelling out the tax cuts, and their cost would rise accordingly.
- Still another gimmick is to defer action on expiring tax credits that do not expire this year, while extending the credits that do expire this year for one year only. This maneuver enables lawmakers to avoid counting against the $1.25 trillion limit the cost of extending these tax credits over the next decade a cost which is virtually certain, as these credits have been routinely extended in the past and are expected to be continued in the future.
If available gimmicks prove inadequate, Congress may go further and engage in a more blatant budget-busting strategy leaving certain popular tax cuts out of the $1.25 trillion package altogether, with the intention of enacting them later this year as part of a minimum-wage bill or other legislation likely to secure the 60 votes needed in the Senate to breach the budget resolution targets. The budget resolution is supposed to encompass all tax and spending legislation that Congress will consider this year. Senior Senate Republicans and Administration officials, however, have already been quoted as saying they will not be bound by the budget resolution's $1.25 trillion limit and will seek to append additional popular tax cuts to other legislation in the months ahead. If Congress can ignore the budget resolution targets in this manner, the $1.25 trillion tax-cut limit will essentially have become meaningless.
Backloading Already Used Heavily in House-Passed Bills
The House has demonstrated its willingness to engage in budget maneuvers such as these even before facing the new, lower $1.25 trillion target. For example, the tax bills the House has passed in recent weeks rely heavily on backloading.
- The House-passed estate tax bill (H.R. 8) phases in very slowly, repealing the estate tax in 2011. Since it takes a year or two to settle an estate, the full costs of repeal would not appear until after the end of the ten-year period that the budget resolution covers. This enables the cost of H.R. 8 to be held to $186 billion in the first ten years. In the second ten years, its costs skyrocket to approximately $1.1 trillion.
- Similarly, the principal provision in the House-passed H.R. 6 that focuses on married couples a provision that accounts for 80 percent of the cost of the bill's marriage provisions when the provisions are fully in effect would not start to phase in until 2004 and not take full effect until 2009. This provision costs $150 billion in the first ten years, but more than $400 billion in the second ten years.
AMT Reforms and Extenders Largely Ignored
Both the House and the Administration have made it clear they plan to defer "must do" tax legislation to a later date to make room for more tax cuts within the targets the budget resolution sets. The most egregious example involves the aforementioned Alternative Minimum Tax. A parallel tax system intended to ensure that high-income taxpayers do not avoid paying income taxes, the AMT will encroach heavily upon the middle class in coming years due to flaws in its design if nothing is done to address this problem. The Joint Tax Committee estimates that the number of taxpayers subject to the AMT will soar by 1,300 percent over the coming decade, rising from 1.5 million taxpayers this year to 21 million in 2011.
Knowledgeable observers agree that Congress and the Administration will not allow this to occur; changes will be made in the AMT to prevent it from hitting millions of middle-class families. The President's budget and the House-passed tax cuts, however, largely ignore this problem and the inevitable cost of addressing it; in fact, they make the problem more severe and raise the costs that ultimately will be incurred when the problem is addressed. Because taxpayers are required to pay the higher of their regular income tax liability or their AMT liability, proposals that substantially reduce regular income taxes without addressing the underlying problems in the AMT greatly increase the number of taxpayers who will become subject to the AMT if it is not reformed. The Joint Tax Committee estimates that the income tax rate reductions that are included in the Administration's package and that passed the House will increase the number of taxpayers subject to the AMT by another 15 million by 2011.
This aspect of the tax-cut proposals constitutes a budget gimmick for two reasons. First, the failure to include in the tax package the measures needed to address the problems in the AMT results in the cost of these inevitable measures not being counted against the $1.25 trillion budget target. Second, failing to include these measures in the tax bills under consideration substantially lowers the cost of those bills, since the cost estimates for the bills must be based on the dubious assumption that the AMT will remain unchanged, hit 36 million taxpayers by 2011, and thereby cancel out billions of dollars in tax cuts that otherwise would be provided to millions of tax filers. The Joint Tax Committee has estimated that the reductions in income tax rates in H.R. 3 would cost $292 billion more over ten years were it not for the effects of the AMT. Thus, when the problems in the AMT are eventually addressed, the cost of H.R. 3 will increase by roughly $300 billion.
Congress also is likely to rely on a similar type of gimmick in dealing with the 20 popular tax credits that expire every couple of years or so and always are renewed. The President's budget proposes a permanent extension of one of these credits, the research and experimentation credit. Since this credit does not expire until 2004, however, Congress may defer action on it, and thereby create more room for other tax cuts in this year's package. For the credits that do expire this year, Congress is likely to employ a gimmick the Administration's budget contains and extend the credits for one year only.
Whether tax credits that do not expire this year are extended this year or a few years from now, and whether these tax credits are made permanent or continue to be extended a few years at a time throughout the decade, does not affect their costs over the next ten years. The costs are essentially the same regardless of which course is pursued. The gimmick here, too, is that Congress seems likely to follow a course that enables it to avoid counting billions of dollars in cost that clearly will be incurred against the $1.25 trillion limit.
Gimmicks Swell Costs in Future Decades When Nation's Fiscal Situation Already is Tenuous
These gimmicks from backloading, to leaving tax cuts out of the pending tax bill and not counting their cost against the $1.25 trillion target, to using the failure to address the problems in the AMT now to shrink artificially the cost assumed for the pending legislation all mask the ultimate costs of the tax cuts. In the face of a determined Congressional majority, Congressional budget rules are no obstacle to such gimmicks.
These gimmicks increase the ultimate costs of the tax cuts because they let Congress pack more tax cuts into the current tax-cut legislation than it otherwise could do. Indeed, the Administration's tax cut plan, as embodied in the three tax-cut bills the House has already passed plus the remaining elements of the Bush package and the changes in the AMT that ultimately will be made, would cost nearly $5 trillion in the second ten years the legislation would be in effect, from 2012 to 2021.
It is in this second ten-year period, which falls outside the period the budget resolution covers, that the country). gimmicks such as backloading to shrink the cost of tax cuts in the first ten years and thereby making the total tax-cut package larger and ultimately more costly than it otherwise would be only makes the long-term fiscal situation more troublesome.
Congress Should Adhere to Basic Rules
Because of the long-term fiscal difficulties the nation faces and the high risk that Congress will employ an array of budget gimmicks to evade the tax-cut limits in the budget resolution, we offer three recommendations:
- All provisions in the tax bill should be fully effective no later than the fifth year, 2006. It may be noted that every major provision in President Bush's proposed tax package except for estate tax repeal would be fully phased in by 2006. In addition, most of the tax cuts in President Reagan's 1981 package were phased in fully in three years.
- The tax writers should commit to a "pay-as-you-go" requirement for any tax cuts considered later in the session that would otherwise breach the $1.25 trillion target. The budget targets are meaningless if Congress applies them only to one bill and breaches them in subsequent legislation.
- The tax bill should include provisions that substantially fix the AMT, so the number of taxpayers affected by it stays roughly constant or grows only modestly over the coming decade. The tax bill also should extend throughout the decade those tax credits that ultimately will be extended anyway.
The remainder of this analysis examines these issues in more detail.
Ten-Year Cost Estimates for Tax Bill Likely to Be Misleading
Ten-year figures often say little about the true cost of tax-cut proposals once the proposals are fully in effect. Phasing a tax cut in over a number of years reduces its cost in the first ten years, relative to the cost of making the tax cut fully effective immediately. But such phasing does nothing to reduce the tax cut's ultimate cost that is, its recurring annual cost in the years after the tax cut is fully in effect. It is a tax cut's recurring annual cost that is crucial for understanding the measure's ultimate fiscal impact.
To illustrate the effects of backloading, the table below presents three scenarios. In these scenarios, a hypothetical tax cut costing $1.25 trillion over the next ten years is assumed to be phased in fully at three different points in time: in 2002, 2006, and 2010.(2) Under each of the three scenarios, the revenue loss from the tax cut is assumed to reach its full cost in the year after the tax cut becomes fully effective. The table shows that while all three scenarios entail a cost of $1.25 trillion over ten years, their costs in the second ten years and in 2011, a year in which the tax cuts would be in full effect under all three scenarios differ markedly.
The first approach which has no backloading would cost $155 billion in the tenth year. By contrast, the third example the most backloaded would cost $242 billion in that year, almost 60 percent more. This large differential in the tenth-year cost continues into the future. The third scenario costs more than two-and-a-half times as much in the second ten years $3.2 trillion as in the first ten years, and costs $1.1 trillion more in the second ten years than the first scenario does even though the costs of both scenarios are identical over the initial ten-year period. These illustrative examples demonstrate that when a proposal is backloaded the ten-year estimates can be misleading.
Furthermore, backloading can be made more extreme than under any of these illustrative scenarios. The full cost of a tax cut can be pushed off beyond the ten-year budget window, by having the tax cut not become fully effective until after the end of the initial ten-year period. The House-passed estate-tax repeal bill (H.R. 8) takes such an approach. Under that bill, estate-tax repeal does not occur until 2011. Since the full cost of changes in the estate tax do not show up until a year or two after the effective date for such changes, the full cost of repeal is not captured in any of the first ten years. The Joint Tax Committee estimates that H.R. 8 would cost $186 billion between 2002 and 2011. But during the second ten years, when the full costs of estate-tax repeal would be felt, the bill would cost approximately $1.1 trillion, six times its cost in the first ten years.(3)
To keep the annual, recurring cost of the tax cuts that Congress is planning to adopt from exploding at the time the baby-boom generation starts retiring, the tax-writing committees could require that all provisions of tax-cut legislation be fully effective no later than the fifth year, or 2006. This would still allow substantial phasing in. As noted, the major income tax provisions of President Bush's tax-cut plan (although not the estate repeal provision) would be fully effective by 2006. The 1981 Reagan tax cuts generally phased in over three years.
Deferring AMT Reforms: Two Gimmicks for the Price of One
The authors of the bipartisan Senate floor amendment that reduced the size of the ten-year tax cut in the Senate budget resolution stated that the $1.188 trillion total in the Senate budget plan should accommodate AMT relief. This sensible recommendation may be largely ignored.
Under current law, flaws in the AMT's design are resulting in a growing number of middle-income taxpayers becoming subject to the alternative tax. The Treasury Department estimates that by the end of the decade, more than half of all taxpayers affected by the AMT will have incomes below $100,000, and more than two million will have incomes below $50,000. (4) This growth in the AMT is neither in keeping with its original policy intent nor politically sustainable. As a result, virtually all knowledgeable observers believe Congress will take action to reform the AMT.
AMT reform is expensive. For example, a proposal by Senator Blanche Lincoln that would hold the number of taxpayers affected by the AMT at or just below today's levels would cost $158 billion over ten years under current law and several hundred billion dollars more if the Bush tax cuts are enacted.
This creates an incentive to defer action on AMT relief. The "budget gimmick value" of deferring AMT reforms is great, because an unreformed AMT lowers the official cost estimates for various income tax cuts. The AMT requires a set of calculations that are separate and distinct from regular income tax calculations; taxpayers are required to pay the higher of their regular income tax or their AMT liability. The reductions in income tax rates that the Administration has proposed and the House has passed would lower regular income taxes substantially and thereby greatly increase the number of taxpayers whose AMT liability will be higher than their regular income tax liability if the problems in the AMT are not addressed. The Joint Tax Committee estimates that the reductions in income tax rates included in H.R. 3 would increase the number of taxpayers affected by the AMT by 15 million by 2011, raising the total number of taxpayers subject to the AMT to a startling 35.7 million that year.
In preparing a cost estimate for a tax-cut bill, the Joint Tax Committee is required to assume that the problems in the AMT will not have been addressed unless the bill contains a provision to remedy those problems. Accordingly, in estimating the cost of the rate reductions in H.R. 3, the Joint Committee was compelled to assume that 35.7 million taxpayers would, in fact, be subject to the AMT by 2011 and that this would substantially reduce the cost of the tax-rate reductions by canceling out a significant portion of the tax cuts that the rate reductions otherwise would provide.
The Joint Tax Committee has reported that the large increases in AMT liability it was compelled to assume in preparing the cost estimate for H.R. 3 reduce the cost of H.R. 3 by $292 billion over ten years. The Joint Committee estimates show that the cost of H.R. 3 would be 50 percent higher in 2011 if it were not for these assumed AMT effects. (Note: The House did include some AMT modifications in H.R. 6, primarily to ensure that the AMT does not limit the effect of the increase in the child tax credit. These AMT provisions are modest, however, and do little to counter the massive growth in the number of taxpayers who would be affected by the AMT as a result of the rate reductions in H.R. 3.)
Deferring action on AMT relief is essentially a "two-fer" in the world of budget gimmicks. First, it allows Congress to exclude the cost of needed AMT reforms that virtually all observers are convinced will be enacted in the next few years. Second, omitting the inevitable reforms in the AMT from the tax-cut legislation conveniently shrinks the cost of that legislation.
This strategy substantially increases the long-term costs of the tax cuts. It does so because it makes the cost of the pending tax cuts appear much lower than it really is, since the exclusion of AMT reform from the package artificially reduces the tax-cut package's cost. That, in turn, enables Congressional tax-writers to include additional, permanent tax cuts some of them backloaded in the package, while presenting the package as complying with the $1.25 trillion limit. Accurate accounting of anticipated income tax reductions would require Congress to include fundamental AMT reforms as part of the package. It appears that the Senate Finance Committee may be inclined to provide more AMT relief than the House. But the modest levels of AMT relief being discussed are unlikely to prevent the number of taxpayers affected by the AMT from increasing relative to current law as a result of the tax reductions or protect the middle class from the AMT. Failure to achieve even these goals guarantees that the future costs of reforming the AMT will remain substantial. It also means that the cost of the tax reductions now being considered will continue to be understated.
Busting the Budget Resolution Targets
Gimmicks are intended to create the illusion that budget discipline is being maintained. They make costs "disappear" on paper to create the appearance of compliance with the budget resolution targets. But these costs eventually "reappear." By its nature, a gimmick does not permanently reduce costs.
Some tax-cut advocates appear to be interested in a more direct approach directly breaching the budget resolution's $1.25 trillion tax-cut limit. Once a first round of tax cuts totaling $1.25 trillion has been enacted, the plan would be to continue enacting additional tax cuts by packaging them in legislation expected to secure the 60 votes needed in the Senate to waive the budget resolution targets. As Senator Phil Gramm stated: "I'm not bound by the tax number." The strategy appears to be to leave some popular tax cuts out of the current tax-cut legislation and then to package them in a way that makes them politically irresistible.
Senate Republican leaders, including Majority Leader Trent Lott has spoken openly about packaging various additional tax cuts into minimum-wage legislation later this year. There also is talk of writing tax cuts into Patients Bill of Right legislation. (In addition, according to media reports, Administration officials have promised conservative House Republicans and corporate lobbyists another substantial tax-cut bill next year.)
Breaching the budget resolution targets in this manner is a more blatant, in-your-face version of a budget gimmick. Like a budget gimmick, it circumvents the commitment to live within certain limits and undermines fiscal discipline. Moreover, such an approach could lead to a "tax-cut binge" that compromises the efforts of the past 15 years to restore fiscal balance and overcome the damaging fiscal effects of the last tax-cut binge in the early 1980s. Rather than repeating these mistakes, Congress should commit to pay-as-you-go rules for any tax cuts considered after the $1.25 trillion target has been reached.
Impact of Gimmicks Would Materialize in the Second Ten Years
Employing gimmicks to hold down the cost of tax cuts over the next ten years creates an illusion of affordability but does not reduce revenue losses over the long term. By masking the ultimate costs of tax cuts, these gimmicks conceal the tax cuts' eventual fiscal impact.)
Conclusion
With the budget resolution about to be approved, Congress will proceed quickly to craft legislation to meet the $1.25 trillion, ten-year tax-cut target. Congress should resist the temptation to rely on backloading and other gimmicks to squeeze 1½ pounds of sugar into a 1-pound bag and to produce tax-cut legislation whose costs explode in the years the baby-boom generation begins to retire in large numbers and the nation's fiscal outlook worsens. Congress should eschew both backloading and gimmicks designed to avoid counting against the $1.25 trillion limit the cost of additional tax cuts that Congress seems determined to pass this year (such as pension tax breaks) or that Congress unquestionably will pass in the near future, such as legislation addressing the problems in the Alternative Minimum Tax and extending the expiring tax credits. Deferring action on these matters and failing to leave room for their cost within the $1.25 trillion ceiling should be regarded as a budget gimmick. These gimmicks not only cloak costs that ultimately will be incurred, but they mislead the American public and weaken the nation's fiscal position over the long term.
End Notes:
1. Long-Term Budget Issues: Moving from Balancing the Budget to Balancing Fiscal Risk, Testimony of Comptroller General David M. Walker before the Senate Budget Committee, February 6, 2001.
2. The tax cuts are assumed to be phased in equal annual increments. For instance, the tax cut that is assumed to be fully in effect after five years, in 2006, is assumed to be phased in at a rate of 20 percent each year.
3. Joel Friedman, "Lower-Cost Estate Tax Repeal Reflects Slow Phase-In: Cost in the Second Ten Years Could Reach $1.3 Trillion," Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, April 4, 2001. Based on the recent Joint Tax Committee estimates of President Bush's revised proposal to repeal the estate tax, which now incorporates a carry-over basis provision and provisions to reduce income tax avoidance following repeal of the estate and gift tax, the cost of H.R. 8 in 2012 to 2021could reach $1.1 trillion, somewhat less than originally projected.
4. Robert Rebelein and Jerry Tempalski, "Who Pays the AMT?," Office of Tax Analysis, U.S. Treasury Department, OTA Paper 87, June 2000. The key design flaw is that the AMT exemptions and thresholds are not indexed for inflation. The parameters for the regular income tax, on the other hand, are indexed for inflation. Thus inflation has the effect of increasing AMT liability over time relative to regular income tax liability
5. If the effects of inflation are removed and the costs are expressed in constant 2001 dollars, the cost still doubles in the second ten years from $1.8 billion in the first ten years to $3.6 billion in the second ten years.

- I worked for a number of years as a fire fighter. We trained on how to remove an unconscious person from a burning building. If you are by yourself you have to drag them. You cannot carry an unconscious or dead person. Since their body is limp it is uncontrollable and you will not be able to get the body in a position where you can carry it. It is completely different carrying a live person who is awake. If you doubt me on this try it. I have seen a number of new firemen bet money on this and lose everytime. In order for him to have gotten his wife to the sewer pit shown on 48 Hours he would have had to have a second man helping, a cart, or he would have to have dragged her body which would have been seen by people and left a lot of marks on the stairs and the sidewalk as well as her naked body. He may or may not have killed her but he did not kill her in the room and then carry her by himself to the sewer pit. Not even close.

- all those people who feel he is being "railroaded" or wrongly accused, don't worry, he won't be convicted, he is rich white and some kind of celebrity, only the poor get wrongly convicted...
as for the Mexican justice system, Redman has gotten way too much coverage for there to be any injustice done to this poor man who I believe DID kill his wife...
- Reply to this comment
- He did it!!!! and he took her to Mexico just so he could blame it on the "dangerous" people living in Mexico, he thought he could get away with it in a country that has a reputation for being a dangerous place especially for wealthy Americans. Redman felt that would be his defense if he did get caught. First of all his story of his wife getting lost, Redman's wife spoke the language of Mexico...unlike a tourist who did not, she would NEVER have gotten lost, she could always get directions from anyone in that country. His story does not make any sense...his problem is that he thinks he is smarter than everyone and his story is so absurd, my 8 yr old granddaughter would have come up with a better story. I hope his money and fame does not allow him to get away with murdering his children's mother.

- I personally had a friend that was at a Conference with a US Company along with 3,000 Teammembers that was wrongfully accused of rape and beating of an 18 yr old New York boy while we were staying at Moon Palace in Cancun. It took my friend 2 1/2 years and Thousands and Thousands of $$$$ before the Mexican Mafia Prison finally released my friend!! After all his money was exhausted!!! There are also other US Citenzens that were wrongly charged in that prison while he was there. One Tall Red Headed US Citizen man from Kentucky who had bought a 1/4 bag of Marijuana for his own use while he was in Mexico. He was tried for Distributing Drugs. The other was a couple that went out on a Deep Sea Fishing Day Trip, the Police stopped the boat and Herion was found on the boat so they were also convicted and were in the Mexican mafia Prison along with My Friend!! There seems to be a connection here !!! 2 people connected with the same Moon Palace!!! I believe this man is innocent just like My friend and other US Citizens that are being held for MONEY!!! God Bless and Keep these US Citezen's and deliver them from this Nightmare. It was a Night mare where my friend saw a man beat almost ot death with a baseball bat and left in the burning sun for 2 days with both legs broken then dragged off which he was Never seen again after that!!! People are allowed the have children and raise them in this prison!! These children could live their whole lives in this prison and no one stops this from happening!! If you noticed you could hear the children playing in the background of this interview!! I was there visiting my friend and I saw this with my own eyes!!!! SICK!!! GOD HELP THESE PEOPLE!!!

- I watched this episode and the one thing I don't understand is if they thought he was guilty how would they lose the evidence against him. If you want him convicted and want to present the best possible case against him all the evidence you have no matter how small or big is a crucial piece. I don't know whether or not he is innocent but if they had circumstantial evidence saying he was guilty it shouldn't have been lost by them losing evidence makes it seem like they didn't have enough proof to say he was guilty.

- I really dislike "circumstantial" based cases. They are bad enough here in America where due process and evidence gathering and processing is regulated. I hate them even more in the 3rd world country called Mexico. There are plenty of criminals down there who would rape, steal, and kill tourists. There are plenty of scenarios that could have taken place down there that could have lead to her murder. Hopefully you people who presume guilt over innocence never once sit on a jury.

- I really don't think this guy did this. Why would he kill his wife infront of his kids and then some how carry her body out of the hotel room with no one seeing anything?? I mean come on, I think this guy is getting shafted.

Amazon web service outage takes down Reddit, Airbnb, GitHub
Websites like Reddit, Airbnb and Github are experiencing outages, according to several reports.
The Next Web reports that sites hosted by Amazon web service (AWS) and Elastic Computer Cloud (EC2) are experiencing service disruptions. Airbnb, GitHub, Coursera and Flipboard went down Monday. It looks like GitHub and Flipboard are back online, however, Airbnb and Coursera are still currently inaccessible.
Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian tweeted that it was Amazon web services that took down Reddit.

(AP) TAMPA, Florida - Republicans were scrambling Sunday to rejigger the schedule for their massive rally to officially name Mitt Romney to challenge President Barack Obama, working feverishly on a new plan for the storm-shortened gathering that kicks off the fall campaign for the White House.
As Tropical Storm Isaac whirled north along Florida's west coast, Romney and his party canceled Monday's first day of the Republican National Convention in a bow to nature's potential fury.
"The safety of those in Isaac's path is of the utmost importance," Romney tweeted after Republican officials announced they had called off Monday's convention proceedings.
Because of possible storm surges and flooding that.
Tropical Storm Isaac starts lashing Keys
Isaac could become Cat 2 hurricane: Forecaster
Florida prepares for Isaac
With Monday's schedule now a blank, Romney was still working to undo the small lead that polls show Obama holds going into the convention.
In an interview broadcast by Fox News, Romney accused Obama's campaign of trying to link him to Rep. Todd Akin's statements about rape and abortion. The Republican standard-bearer said that was a sad new low in the bitter election race, but he conceded the controversy over Akin's remarks was hurting the Republican Party.
Akin is the Republican Senate candidate in Missouri who said women's bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy from a "legitimate" rape. Romney and other party leaders criticized those statements and urged Akin to drop out of the Senate race. Akin, a favorite of Christian conservatives who oppose all abortions even in the case of rape and incest, has refused to step aside.
"It really is sad, isn't it, with all the issues that America faces for the Obama campaign to continue to stoop to such a low level," Romney said on Fox.
Obama hasn't explicitly linked Romney to Akin, but he said in an interview with The Associated Press that his opponent has locked himself into "extreme positions" on economic and social issues and would surely impose them if elected president.
As Romney aides worked to reshape the convention schedule and Isaac moved north, the candidate was taking a rare day off the campaign trail at his lakeside vacation home in New Hampshire, receiving updates on the storm, attending services at the local Mormon church, and making final preparations for the Thursday speech with which he will accept his party's presidential nomination.
Obama was at the Camp David presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains north of Washington, gearing up for campaigning this week on college campuses across Iowa, Colorado and Virginia - all so-called swing states where polls show voters are not solidly in the camp of one candidate or the other.
The U.S. president is not chosen according to the nationwide popular vote but in state-by-state contests. Of the 50 states, about 43 are already viewed as settled upon Romney or Obama, meaning the outcome in seven states - including those Obama visits this week - likely will decide which man sits in the White House for the next four years.
Republicans decided late Saturday to bring the convention symbolically into session Monday but to postpone the day's events."
Obama has dispatched the Federal Emergency Management Agency to establish a command center and move more resources into the state. Vice President Joe Biden scrapped a planned campaign trip into Florida that was to counter the start of the Republican gathering.
Republicans hope to use this week's convention to cast Romney as a determined leader with the know-how to fix the country's economy. They also want to introduce him as a family-oriented figure to counter Democrats' attempts to paint him as a cold-hearted and ruthless businessman who cannot connect with middle-class Americans.
rejigger, verb,to rearrange or organize something differently. Somehow I have a feeling the GOP has another meaning for that word.
HELL NO! Republicans must be held to account for this attack to subvert our democracy. Republicans should be attacked by libertarians, liberals, conservatives, tea partiers and other groups in addition to the media for subverting our right to vote.
Anyone who does believe there is a Divine intelligence driving Isaac and whose thoughts on the modern GOP range from "the greatest thing since stone tools" all the way to "the greatest evil since God demoted Satan" should remember this. It comes from the Book of Matthew:
"...For He makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
In 2008, Focus on the Family's Dobson asked Evangelicals to pray for rain at Barack Obama nomination. "Evangelical Christians have been asked to pray for 'rain of biblical proportions' to fall on Senator Barack Obama as he accepts the Democratic nomination."
Looks as if God heard them but disagreed about the target. "Biblical proportions" it is." | http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57500532/storm-forces-gop-convention-overhaul/ | 2013-05-18T10:22:34 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Big 12: Leaders are 'very close to getting playoff really right'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- As college football's playoff formation continues, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Wednesday, "We are very close to getting to this really right."
Bowlsby was confident that the playoff, beginning in 2014, will deliver on all its promises: keep the regular-season relevant, stage a compelling playoff and distribute revenue fairly.
"I'm confident we're going to get it right by the time it's all done," Bowlsby said at Wednesday's Big 12 basketball media day. "That's why we're going slow and sweating all the details."
Among those details is an exclusive TV negotiating window with ESPN that was due to begin Oct. 1. Bowlsby said the parties are just about to "embark on" those negotiations that could go on for months. Bowlsby indicated the parties "can do whatever you want to do as long as both parties agree and the TV partners go along with it."
The playoff is expected to be valued between $400 million to $600 million per year.
Bowlsby estimated that the selection committee which will select the playoff teams will number about 18.
"Some of them will be active people currently in the profession [and] retired people," he said. "I'm probably a little more trusting than some others might be having gone through the basketball committee process. The basketball process is a very honorable process. If you have a dog in the fight, you leave the room. You don't try to influence the other people in the room for your own benefit. This will be the same way.
"Will it be harder to come up with four teams than it is to come up with 68 [in basketball]? Yeah. Would we be any less confident in terms of integrity? No."
Bowlsby is former chairman of the NCAA men's basketball selection committee. The nine-man committee annually selects the 38 at-large teams as well as seeds and brackets the 68-team field.
One of the most distinguished members of a possible committee has not been contacted. Former SEC commissioner and father of the BCS, Roy Kramer told CBSSports.com recently that he is not particularly interested in being on the committee. Bowlsby said he would have no problem with Kramer being on the committee.
Bowlsby reiterated that a seventh bowl to accommodate the so-called Group of Five (MAC, Big East, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Mountain West) has not been finalized. In fact, Bowlsby was not in favor of the Orange Bowl becoming closed on both ends. Beginning in 2014, the ACC champion will play either Notre Dame or available teams from the SEC or Big Ten.
"It's no secret I wasn't entirely happy with that," said Bowlsby who lost a possible bowl berth for the Big 12.
As it stands, there could be a maximum six open spots in playoff bowls and a minimum of two in any given year (without a seventh bowl). Bowlsby was reminded that Utah attorney general Mark Shurtleff is still soliciting partners in order to sue the BCS on anti-trust grounds.
"I hope we do a good enough job that those complaints will sound hollow," Bowlsby said.
The Big 12 and SEC are still in the process of deciding where to place its Champions Bowl. CBSSports.com reported last week that Bowlsby said it was a "dead heat" between Dallas and New Orleans. The assumption is that the city that doesn't get the Champions (Big 12 vs. SEC) will get an access -- or open -- bowl in the playoff rotation. | http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/dennis-dodd/20585451/big-12:-leaders-are- | 2013-05-18T10:42:27 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Video: Dwight Howard working out, as a Laker
Dwight Howard has begun on-court workouts in his journey back to the floor after spinal surgery last season. A lot happened between then and now, one of which being he's a Los Angeles Laker.
And now, a first glimpse at what that actually looks like.
The video is a really simple a minute of Howard working on some post moves against Laker assistant Darvin Ham and a few other things, but it's kind of surreal to see him wearing the purple and gold. | http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/eye-on-basketball/20377903/video-dwight-howard-working-out-as-a-laker | 2013-05-18T10:12:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
The obligation to provide legal aid to those lacking sufficient resources forms part of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union as a necessary tool for ensuring effective access to justice. In the framework of the Stockholm Programme, a proposal on a new legislative instrument on access to a lawyer in criminal matters is currently being considered and a report on the application in the Member States of Directive 2003/8/EC on legal aid in cross-border disputes is foreseen by the European Commission.
This conference organised jointly by the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) and the Academy of European Law (ERA) on the occasion of the CCBE's 50th anniversary, aims at providing a forum for informed discussion on the future of legal aid in Europe, bringing together as keynote speakers key figures from the European institutions, to be followed by a discussion between legal practitioners, academics, EU officials and stakeholders dealing with the issue.

"We have talent... Just watch." -Torrey Smith on the Ravens wide receivers - -.
Who benefits from allowing 1.5 million new foreign workers into the U.S. each year? Certainly not the 200,000 residents of Maryland who are currently unemployed. Unfortunately, Sens. Mikulski and Cardin have done nothing to reduce the number of foreign workers to the U.S. And as a result, unemployed Maryland workers continue to suffer.
This continued failure to stand up for jobless Maryland residents by Sens. Mikulski and Cardin is inexcusable. Your fellow unemployed Maryland workers need more opportunities. Please don’t delay. Send the critical message below to Maryland Sens. Mikulski and Cardin today, urging them to reduce immigration to a more sensible level. This is a completely free service. There is no cost to you.
PRESS TO SEND THIS NO-COST FAX
Our nation has a proud and rich immigration tradition. However, we need to move our immigration policies into the 21st century.
With unemployment numbers still high and our nation struggling to control its national debt, it is time for Congress to consider reducing overall immigration numbers.
The United States gives new work permits to 1.5 million immigrants and other foreign workers each year–not including the illegal aliens who arrive. When our nation is trillions in debt and has a shortage of millions of jobs, there is simply no way to justify these numbers. Taxpayers end up subsidizing the Americans who lose their jobs because of immigration.
Please support measures that would end illegal immigration and reduce legal immigration to sensible numbers. The American people are counting on you to do the right thing. Please don’t let us down.
Sincerely,
(Your Name Will Appear Here)

Maternal-Fetal Medicine
The Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine has an approved three-year training program. The purpose of the program is to provide an environment of scholarship that will enable the fellow to achieve a consultant's stature in maternal-fetal medicine.
The fellowship is divided into monthly rotations of clinical work or research that addresses the objectives set forth by the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Board. The overall fellowship is guided by the members of the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Division, who have special interests in prenatal diagnosis, genetics, infectious diseases, ultrasound, critical care and diabetes management, hypertension in pregnancy and preterm labor research. The specific clinical genetics portion of the fellowship is supervised by the members of the Genetics Division at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, whose many grants include the Human Genome Project, collagen diseases, hemoglobinopathies, skeletal dysplasias and fetal dysmorphology. The research component of the fellowship can be basic research and/or a clinical project that is designed to integrate the fellow's interest in maternal-fetal medicine and will result in a manuscript for publication in a peer review journal.
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center provides a referral service for high-risk pregnancies in the Los Angeles area. Annually, there are approximately 7,000 deliveries and 1,300 high-risk patients are evaluated by the antepartum testing unit, and over 4,000 patients are evaluated in the Prenatal Diagnosis Center.

Foot (Talus Bone) FractureThe talus is a small bone that sits between the heel bone (calcaneus) and the two bones of the lower leg (the tibia and fibula). It has an irregular, humped shape like a turtle's shell. The bones of the lower leg ride on top and around the sides to form the ankle joint.
Where the talus meets the foot bones, it forms the subtler joint. This joint is important for walking on uneven ground. Besides connecting the foot to the leg and body, the talus helps transfer weight and pressure across the ankle joint.
Symptoms of a Broken Foot
A fractured talus usually causes:
- Extremely severe pain
- An inability to put weight on the foot
- Swelling and tenderness
Causes and Risk Factors for a Broken Foot.
Diagnosing a Broken Foot
During a physical examination, your doctor will look at your foot and ask how the injury happened. He or she will generally check to see that the nerves of your foot are working properly. Your doctor will also check to see that the blood flow to your toes hasn't been cut off and that you have normal muscle tension in your foot.
Your doctor may probably order foot and ankle X-rays. If these don't show a fracture, a computed tomography (CT) scan may be ordered. These tests help pinpoint where the fracture is. They also may show whether the bones are still aligned (nondisplaced fracture) or have shifted out of place (displaced fracture). Any loose bits of bone that may need to be removed also can be seen.
Treating a Broken Foot
A talar fracture that doesn't heal properly will create problems for you later. These may include not being able to use your foot normally, arthritis, chronic pain or collapse of the bone. Immediate first aid for a talar fracture is to apply a well-padded splint around the back of the foot and leg from the toe to the upper calf. Raise the foot above the level of the heart and apply ice for 20 minutes every hour or two until you can see a doctor. Don't put any weight on the foot.
In rare cases, if the bones haven't moved out of place, a talar fracture can be treated without surgery. You will have to wear a cast and avoid putting weight on your foot for six to eight weeks. After the cast has been removed, your doctor may give you exercises to restore the strength and range of motion of your foot and ankle.
Most talus fractures need surgery to avoid complications. After surgery, your foot will be put in a cast for six to eight weeks. You will not be able to put any weight on the foot for at least three months.

The eruption of a volcano last week in Iceland, and the ensuing cloud of ash that shut down airports across Europe, has thrown a wrench into U.S. vendors’ plans to attend industry shows abroad.
While air travel resumed yesterday after the volcano quit – for now at least – spewing ash, there’s the possibility that another volcano in Iceland could erupt, as well. Next week, the IMS World Forum kicks off in Barcelona, while the Anga Cable Show starts May 4 in Cologne, Germany.
The organizers of the Anga show tried to soothe attendees’ concerns with a press release today that carried the following headline: “European Airspace completely open – Volcanic Ash Cloud has dissolved.” Putting aside the second volcano for a moment, which has a history of erupting after its neighbor, there is an enormous backlog of flights across Europe. According to an Associated Press story from yesterday, 95,000 flights were cancelled last week, so even with air travel resuming, it’s not exactly blue skies and sunbeams at European airports.
While the literal fallout from the volcano’s eruption has been a boon to Skype and Cisco’s telepresence video conferencing business, vendors have been scrambling.
Yesterday, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based RGB Networks was formulating its Anga game plan. Most of RGB’s show-related equipment is coming out of its U.K. office, and if traveling proves to be too difficult for its U.S.-based employees, the company said it will lean on European partner Divitel to provide on-site setup support at Anga.
Jim Gayton, Cedar Point Communications’ director of marketing, outlined some of the issues vendors face in an e-mail.
“We looked into routing our freight through the southern routes but ran into customs and country of destination issues,” he wrote. “Also, this has impacted worldwide freight, not just high tech, but every company that is trying to get stuff shipped is doing the same thing. We have made the decision to not ship our equipment to Anga due to the inability to guarantee arrival in time for setup. Instead, we will rely on doing our demos with equipment located in the United States.”
While Cedar Point, which is headquartered in Derry, N.H., has found a workaround to the air travel dilemma, Gayton said the challenge will be the quality of service the company gets at the convention center in Cologne.
“We have no control over it,” he wrote. “Not having equipment local to the show floor [booth] makes it difficult to troubleshoot or repair if the need arises.”
Other logistical challenges Gayton outlined included:
- Coordinating delivery of the booth and graphics and coordinating multiple vendors
- Getting staff to Europe from the United States
- The prospect of having staff members stranded abroad are high if the other volcano erupts, and then there’s the additional cost of feeding and housing those employees
In the 25-plus years I have been doing this, I have never experienced this kind of long-ranging (duration and areas of impact) disruption due to a natural event,” Gayton wrote.
While larger vendors, such as Cisco, Arris or Motorola, have enough resources to have booth materials and staff both here and abroad, smaller vendors might be concerned about getting their equipment and personnel back here in time to set up for The Cable Show May 11-13 in Los Angeles.
Here’s hoping for “nothing but blue skies from now on.”

Google is working on Android-based TV software that could lead to more Internet video becoming available on set-top boxes, TVs and other devices.
The Wall Street Journal reported today that Google could show the new software at its Google I/O conference May 19-20 in San Francisco. The software is reportedly attracting the interest of various companies, including Intel, Sony and Logitech International, that could offer products using Google’s software.
By debuting the software at the conference, Google could be trying to spur the development of TV applications similar to what Apple has done with its App Store.
Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that Sony was planning on announcing devices that use Google’s software and Intel’s chips at next month’s conference.
Google is also working on its test of a television search service with Dish Network, according to The Wall Street Journal. The limited test started last year and uses Google’s technology in order to let viewers access and search for Internet programming, as well as access and search Dish’s linear programming.

News
Motorola Mobility set a meeting date of Nov. 17 for shareholders to vote on Google's proposed $12.5 billion buyout of the company. The meeting will take place in San Diego.
Google and Motorola Mobility on Aug. 15 announced a definitive agreement on the acquisition. At the time, the deal had been unanimously approved by the boards of both companies.
Shareholders are expected to approve the deal, which gives Google the rights to Motorola's 17,000 patents. It also puts Google in an interesting position as it relates to OEM partners that also use Android and require updates.
Shareholders also will get to vote on "golden parachute" payments for executives. The Associated Press reports that Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha, for example, stands to gain $66 million if the deal goes through in the form of a cash bonus and accelerated vesting of stock options and shares.
The deal is expected to close by the end of this year or early 2012.
On Tuesday, former Motorola Chairman and CEO Bob Galvin died at 89. For nearly three decades, he oversaw Motorola's transformation from a maker of police radios and TVs to a worldwide leader in consumer electronics. He was instrumental in the creation of the first commercial cell phone in 1973 and the construction of the first cell phone network in the early 1980s.

Who cares how you pronounce it, tomatoes are one of summer’s greatest treasures!
Gorgeous heirloom tomatoes fill the markets and for a few short months you can savor one of nature’s prime pleasures.
When I was a kid, my grandmother had a huge garden where she grew lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini. My most fun days were the ones we spent building the trellis’ for the tomatoes. I couldn’t wait for them to grow and shed their delicious fruit. Yes, in case you didn’t know, tomatoes are technically a fruit and not a vegetable.
Anyway, there would come the day that they were ripe to pick and my brother and I would grab them off of the vine and eat them right then and there. The juices would run down our faces and stain our clothes, but who cared! To this day, a homegrown beefsteak tomato instantly brings back treasured memories of being a kid.
These memories are all the more poignant due to the food industries proclivities to produce bigger genetically engineered tasteless red tomatoes. How sad that many people today don’t even know what a real homegrown unadulterated tomato tastes like.
Fortunately, with the amazing growth of local farmer’s markets, you have a shot at the real deal. Now is when tomatoes are at their peak and will stay that way for most of the summer. Orange, green, purple, yellow and red, large, small or even the cherry tomatoes beckon you with their taste delights. Buy organic and buy from reputable sources that feature local farmers. It is not that difficult.
Here are a couple of tomato recipes that I think you might enjoy. Give them a try.
CHERRY TOMATO AND YELLOW SQUASH CRUMBLE.
This dish is the essence of summer!
3Tbs. butter or margarine
11/4 cups fresh breadcrumbs
2 Tbs. finely chopped parsley
1 small yellow onion chopped (I cup)
½ lb. small yellow crooked neck squash, diced (2 cups)
3 cups cherry tomatoes
1 clove garlic, minced
½ cup grated Swiss or Gruyere cheese
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat butter in skillet over medium heat until melted. Pour 2 Tbs. over breadcrumbs in bowl. Stir in parsley.
• Return skillet to burner, and increase heat to medium-high. Add onion and cook for.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve hot.
PICKLED CHERRY TOMATOES
Makes 3 cups
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
4 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 chilies de arbol, crumbled
2 whole allspice
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed
1 bay leaf
3 ups cherry tomatoes, halved
4 thyme sprigs
¾ cups water
• Bring vinegar, ¾ cup water, sugar, salt, chilies, and cayenne to a simmer in sauce -pan. Stir to dissolve sugar then remove from heat. Cool 30 minutes.
• Put garlic and bay leaf in bottom of 1- quart glass jar. Add tomatoes, and tuck thyme sprigs along sides.
• Pour vinegar mixture over tomatoes, and marinate 1 hour. Store up to 1 day in refrigerator. | http://www.celebrityloop.com/you-say-tomato-i-say-tomato/ | 2013-05-18T11:02:56 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Summary
Disrupted fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)1 signalling has been shown to cause Kallmann syndrome (KS), a human genetic disorder characterised by olfactory bulb dysgenesis and hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. Loss-of-function mutations in the KS gene KAL-2/FGFR1 account for roughly 10% of KS cases, leading to the autosomal dominant form of the disease. Anosmin-1, the KAL-1 gene product underlying X-linked KS, modulates FGFR1 signalling via regulation of FGF2/FGFR1/heparin signalling complex assembly and activity. This review covers recent advances in the potential interactions of KS-associated molecules within the FGFR1 signalling complex, and demonstrates a novel mechanism of pre-signalling modulation that mechanistically links an autosomal dominant and sex-linked mode of inheritance of this disease, highlighting the central role of FGFR1 signalling in KS. | http://www.cell.com/trends/endocrinology-metabolism/abstract/S1043-2760(10)00006-8 | 2013-05-18T10:12:21 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Changing partners: moving from non-homologous to homologous centromere pairing in meiosis

Abstract
Reports of centromere pairing in early meiotic cells have appeared sporadically over the past thirty years. Recent experiments demonstrate that early centromere pairing occurs between non-homologous centromeres. As meiosis proceeds, centromeres change partners, becoming arranged in homologous pairs. Investigations of these later centromere pairs indicate that paired homologous centromeres are actively associated rather than positioned passively, side-by-side. Meiotic centromere pairing has been observed in organisms as diverse as mice, wheat and yeast, indicating that non-homologous centromere pairing in early meiosis and active homologous centromere pairing in later meiosis might be themes in meiotic chromosome behavior. Moreover, such pairing could have previously unrecognized roles in mediating chromosome organization or architecture that impact meiotic segregation fidelity. | http://www.cell.com/trends/genetics/abstract/S0168-9525(08)00226-6 | 2013-05-18T10:22:20 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

“T.”The last line is the best as it's always awesome to have someone try and explain the Kedrick Brown pick (as well as Chris "The Buffoon" Wallace's preference to keep him over JJ). I think fans are going to like Murphy as he'll hit the 3 ball and grab some boards, and playing next to KG, I imagine he'll up his defensive effort as well.).”
_________________________________________________________________________________________« Prev Post Next Post »
It just wouldn't be right with out a white guy on the team just kidding great pick up here
I always thought the trade of Joe Johnson for tony delk and rodney rodgers was a bad move, but I got over it after the hawks signed him to that ridiculous deal back in '04 or whatever it was. No way is he deserving of that kind of contract.
Regardless, I love this move and I think this was in the works for a while. I still think there's a chance they could add someone else. Ainge said on Celtics Tonight after the trade that there were 2 spots he was going to fill by this week so we'll see who the other spot gets filled by.
Great!
we're seeing DA's plot slowly unfold and evolve
In Danny I STILL trust
This is the kind of sports reading that lifts your spirits. A guy that always wanted to be a Celtic. Talk about love for a team. Thanks for signing here, Mr Murphy. Now time to prove you deserve to be in the rotation for the next NBA champ: your Boston Celtics
Danny Ainge gets another notch in his belt. You can add the two names, Nenad Krstic & Troy Murphy to the list of white players Ainge has attempted to or has added in the last 7 years. Racist Boston Celtics fans have their two new Kevin McHale's. LMAO
Anonymous, you are surley the only racist one here, so get out of here fast
*surely
Haha ..
Ahh man .. it is so on now :-D
I'm not racist... and don't call me Shirley.
I'm Anonymous. I'm hiding. I can't judge anyone, I don't have courage to show my face.
Entertaining
That's great he's driving from NJ to Boston lol:
I say we sign Carlos Arroyo just to stick it to the Heat. Wouldn't hurt adding another point guard.
hell yeah for troy murphy!!! LETS GO CELTICS...
And to the "Anonymous" before Bohemian, that's an ignorant comment.
I don't know, Medved, this is also informative.
Racist Boston fans?
I've heard many insults, but this one is the, how can I say, stupidest I've ever heard. This is way below "Your Mama" jokes, way below "I've Had Sex with your Wife".
If Boston is racist, then we're all going to hell.
Thrilled!! I’m delighted Murphy is joining the Celtics, not because he is white, but because he’s wicked talented on the court and has the type of personality that will fit in with our guys. And he’s a wise man apparently—he chose the Celtics over the Heat! Seriously, it’s time to put the racist comments to rest. When Bostonian Celtics fans see Ray Allen raining threes, we admire that perfect form and his ready, set, shoot skills, honed with a work ethic that fans of basketball everywhere can surely appreciate. We see Paul Pierce’s leadership and marvel that he is able to draw a foul whenever he chooses. We see KG’s game prep, his crazy energy and focus, “getting all up in the kitchen” with the opposing team and think, damn; glad he’s playing for us. We see Rondo bobbing and weaving up and down the court, rebounding, stealing, passing the ball at exactly the right moment, to exactly the right player (sometimes even robbing plays from illegal huddles!!) and we think, damn, how does he do that! Murphy, Krystic and Green are lucky to join such a group of talented teammates. They are selflessly devoted to the game, checking self-promotion and egos in favor of winning as a team. Likewise, we are lucky to have the three of them. UBUNTU. Truly, the only color Celtics see is GREEN and the only race that matters is to BANNER 18. | http://www.celticslife.com/2011/03/troy-murphy-always-wanted-to-be-celtic.html?showComment=1299069287057 | 2013-05-18T10:53:33 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Ainge looks to be active with draft picks
The Celtics have just one pick in the June 27 draft, No. 16 overall. That may, of course, not still be the case when the night arrives.
“We’re always having discussions about moving up and moving down and moving out,” said Ainge. “That’s just like every other year. But I don’t know what the chances are of that happening.”
He feels confident the Celts will have choices to make regarding deals involving picks.
“Sure, I think I will have chances,” Ainge said. “It’s always about what price you’ve got to pay to do that — and what are you going to get for that, of course. But there will probably be a lot of discussion, because this draft isn’t as star-studded as some other drafts.
“I think there are good players. There’s just not franchise changers. I’m just hoping we can find a good player.”
And considering the Celtics’ situation, they will not limit themselves when it comes to the type of players on the board when it’s their turn.
“We’re not looking for any one position,” said Ainge. “We’re looking at all the positions. We won’t draft for position. Our draft pick won’t reflect our needs. Our draft pick will reflect who we think is the best talent available.”
Danny did the right thing last year when he picked the best player available at the 21st pick. Sometimes Danny feels a need with the roster,and that can be the wrong approach. I think you need to pick the best player left. Danny filled both roles last season. He picked the best player, and filled a need. The Celtics needed bigs and Sully was that big. Melo the other big drafted last year hasn't panned out yet. He's a work in progress. Ainge is known for his big splash on draft night in 2007 when he traded Jeff Green and Delonte West for Ray Allen and Big Baby.
Danny has a history on draft night. All of us will be watching on draft night to see what happens.. | http://www.celticstitletown.com/apps/blog/show/next?from_id=23022598 | 2013-05-18T10:12:48 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Estimates are available in table format and in maps. These model-based estimates are produced for all school districts, counties and states of all population sizes. The estimates use data from the American Community Survey and fill in where direct survey estimates are not available. For an overview of the changes in methodology between the 2006 and prior estimates, see Estimation Procedure Changes.
The Release Summary of 2006 Estimates is available for counties, [XLS - 45k] and states [XLS - 31k] and contains estimates with the highest and lowest estimated poverty rates and median household income in 2006. Estimates for counties/states in the tables may not be statistically different from estimates for other counties/states in the tables due to uncertainty in the estimates. Please see uncertainty for information associated with model-based estimates, and also general cautions about comparing model-based estimates. | http://www.census.gov/did/www/saipe/data/highlights/2006.html | 2013-05-18T10:42:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
In response to guidance provided from the Department of the Interior in a February 3, 2011 letter, the Census Bureau has changed the Oneida Nation Reservation boundary in New York State. As a result of this change, the Census Bureau is releasing updated geographic products for three counties in New York.
The spatial changes include a change to the extent of the Oneida Nation Reservation, a change to the inventory of tribal census tracts and tribal block groups on the Oneida Nation Reservation, and 2 census blocks in Madison County (36053) - 360539401033033 and 360539401033034.
Some of the attributes in the Faces files for Lewis County (36049), Madison County (36053), and Oneida County (36065) have also changed.

The Census includes all residents of the United States, regardless of their citizenship status. In some areas of the country, those without American citizenship account for a substantial proportion of the population, while in many areas, particularly in the Midwest, the make up only a small percentage of residents. Likewise, in some areas the majority of the population has come from other states within the U.S. while in others, particularly in the South, the population is more stable over time.

The LDS Church is true in its view of trininty according to the original church as you can see:”
this was a concept first introduced in the 4th century by Greek philosophers
to the dismay and disapproval of many if not most of the early church
fathers.
Again go to the bible for answers: Look at the following versus of
biblical scripture, disregard for a moment the 4th century Greek Philosophy
and see what you come up with.
(Acts 7:55-56 NIV) But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven
and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. {56}
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man (Jesus) standing at
the right hand of God.”
“You heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and I will come to you.’ If you
loved Me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the
Father is greater than I,’” (John 14)
Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless
not my will, but thine, be done. (Luke 22:42)!”
Mark 1:11 and a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My beloved Son, in
You I am well-pleased.”
Luke 9:35 Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, My
Chosen One; listen to Him!”
2 Peter 1:17 For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such
an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My
beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased “-
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father:
but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your
Father; and to my God, and your God. (John 20:17)
Mark 16:19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received
up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
John 7:33 Therefore Jesus said, “For a little while longer I am with you,
then I go to Him who sent Me
I will proclaim the decree of the LORD : He said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have become your Father. Psalms 2:7
The teaching of Greek trinity was condemned by the early fathers of
the church that had know and served with the original apostles. the following an expert from a letter to the Trallians, around 110
A.D., we see the early Christian father Ignatius (highly recognized and
respected by all modern day faiths) was clearly.”
We see that the bible has made it simple and clear that Jesus is the
Son of God, One in heart, might, mind and spirit, He tells his apostles
(John 17:20-23) to be one as he (Christ and the father) are one. Steven
being stoned in Acts 7:55-56 looks up and see’s Jesus standing to the right
hand of His father God, Jesus tells those around him not to touch him
because he has “not yet Ascended to my father), Jesus says God the Father is
greater than He, God introduces Jesus as his son in the waters of baptism,
Jesus cries unto the father in prayer and says not my will but thine, Jesus
always refers to the father as the one who sent me and that is just a few
scriptures that point to the true relationship between God and Jesus. So it
is easy to see why the early fathers of the Church were so disgusted and
angry with the “theologians” that changed the early Christian understanding
of God and Jesus to Greek crafted trinity.
I don’t understand your first post to the board. It brings many thoughts to mind, but I rather ask the purpose than to just assume based on what it appears to be.
Mriana
“Sometimes in order to see the light, you have to risk the dark.” ~ Iris Hineman (Lois Smith) The Minority Report
Western, Mriana is far more willing than I am to give a person the benefit of the doubt. This post appears to be a blatent attempt at evangelism. As such, it has no place here. Your frequent references to biblical statements as if they were true is meaningless. There is no proof that anything in the bible is fact. As such, most of your post is without merit or foundation.
If you were attempting to start a discussion about something, state it much more clearly.

Public awning construction standards, and the lack thereof, has prompted an active discussion between the City of Prineville Planning Commission and the City Planning Department.
Prineville Senior Planner Josh Smith said the new standards were prompted by a downtown property owner who wanted to put in an elaborate awning that didn’t match any of the other awnings on that city block, and the posts encroached into the middle of the sidewalk.
“It kind of prompted us to say OK, do we want this or not?” said Smith.
They went to the City of Prineville Planning Commission and, after a lengthy discussion it was decided to draft some standards. Smith brought the draft to the City Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday evening, and some concerns were addressed on how the City Planning Department would handle the insurance and liability for the City.
“This isn’t a right-of-way, it’s not on private property, so we had to make sure that the building owner indemnifies the City, so if something happens it’s not the City’s fault — and that they carry insurance for it,” explained Smith.
Other concerns included parking on the street — and making sure a post isn’t in the way of parking. There were brief discussions of awnings being 12 inches from the curb — which was decided to be adequate. Smith said that they will add to the standards, that utility partners will be notified before an awning is put in place or construction begins.
“I will redraft it and put it back together,” said Smith. “It’s the kind of stuff, we would do anyway.”
He added that it allows people to design potential awnings up front, with standards to guide them ahead of time.
“This would be something we would put into our standards and specifications, not a planning document,” said Smith.
City of Prineville Engineer Eric Klann noted that this will develop some standards that will protect the public utilities and help them avoid any problems with Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance issues.
“ADA is fairly complex, so we just want to make sure people get it right,” pointed out Klann.
Smith said that two of the big issues that originally become part of the discussion involved street trees and sidewalks. The standards being proposed include awnings supported by posts within the right-of-way, while self-supporting awnings extending over the public right-of-way are allowed with minimal review for measurement and design review. The planning department is recommending that no portion of an awning shall be closer than 12 inches from face to curb. The supports would be 18 inches from the face of the curb to the post with a minimum of 5 feet clear walking space behind the supports.
“Do you want street trees or do you want awnings — it’s going to take them out,” he said. “Right now, our Town Enhancement Plan calls for street trees, not awnings. There is kind of a conflict there. That will have to be addressed later in the Down Town Enhancement Plan.”
Smith went on to say that most cities do not allow posts in the sidewalk.
“They allow awnings — which we do too. If you want to do a suspended awning, there is no standard for that. If you want to suspend it off of your building, you go right ahead.”
Included in the proposed standards is a design that will blend with existing awnings. He said that the thinking behind this has been to create some transition, so awnings are not considerably higher or lower, and there is some continuity.
“This has been a bone of contention, because people like to be individuals,” said Smith.
“If we’re going have them, (awnings) let’s manage how they go in, so there aren’t any unintended problems,” said Klann.

Central Penn College's History
Campus Building Names
As you walk across campus, you will find many of the buildings, student housing, and other structures boast the name of an individual. Each was named to honor someone who held a special place in the hearts of President Emeritus Bart Milano, his wife Jean, and current President Todd A. Milano. These individuals shared the College's core values of integrity, professionalism, service, respect and educational focus, and played a role in Central Penn's success.
Student apartments Gale, Todd and Teri are named for Bart and Jean's children; Anne Hall bears Jean's middle name; Fred and Kathi Hall are named in memory of two children - Fred Neumann and Kathi Spragg. The Neumanns and the Spraggs were close friends of Bart and Jean Milano. Both of these children left this world too soon. Bollinger Hall is named in honor of Elizabeth G. Bollinger, who taught shorthand at Central Penn for 15 years. Bart A. Milano Hall, once known as the East Wing, was dedicated and renamed to honor President Emeritus Bart A. Milano, who served as the College's president from 1969 to 1989. The Boyer House is named in honor of the Boyer family who built and occupied the home for more than 200 years. The College purchased the Boyer Farm from Catherine Boyer in March 1999. Henzsey's Bridge kept its name when it traveled across three counties to rest on Central Penn's Summerdale campus. Its journey began with College President Todd A. Milano's vision of using an old bridge to cross the chasm and join both parts of campus. The Charles "T" Jones Leadership Library is named to honor its benefactor and good friend, Charles "Tremendous" Jones. The Craiger C. Parker Amphitheatre honors Dean Parker, who lost his battle to cancer while working at Central Penn, and recognizes his leadership, military and community service, as well as his dedication and service to the College.

The need for cleaning convenience was evident with the millions of rechargeable wall-mount hand vacuums sold every year in the US.
Consumers demand a more convenient system for cleaning their homes. As a result more of us are moving to central vacuum cleaning for the performance, filtration and ease of use. Our busy lives have changed when and how we clean. WallyFlex fits perfectly with an always ready fast spot-cleaning design. Clean the areas that need it, when they need it, quickly and easily. WallyFlex is the ultimate area quick-cleaning device for central vacuums and stands out from the new crowd of "hose management" and "hose storage" systems. WallyFlex is an innovative solution that combines performance and convenience for quick cleaning on site without the need to retrieve equipment or wrangle storage when your done.
WallyFlex was named VDTA's 2011 New Product of the Year for it's clever design and unique operation. We like WallyFlex for it's simple design, reliable operation and sensible pricing. To use a WallyFlex you grab the hose end, pull it to the spot that needs cleaning - up to 13ft (4 meters) & return hose to cradle when finished. Best of all WallyFlex gives you the full performance of your central vacuum power unit with hundreds of times the cleaning power of a hand vacuum and 100% perfect filtration.
The WallyFlex design is ingeniously simple. Starting with installation that does not require special tube or fittings, only a common inlet mounting plate. They system can be mounted to a wall or in a closet or cabinet to conceal it. Standard installation mounting is approximately 48" from the floor or about the height of most light switches, though it may be mounted as low as 30" from the floor. Each WallyFlex includes three main components: mounting plate, valve and hose. As set of screws is included to connect the inlet mounting plate to the central vacuum mounting bracket.
The valve assembly connects with the mounting plate and the low voltage wires are connected to the switch. Connect the removable stretch hose which twist-locks into place and you are done. WallyFlex lets you easy activate your vacuum system when you grab the hose with a flip out switch. Instead of a trouble prone switch component, WallyFlex uses a simple wire contactor to signal your vacuum system.
The WallyFlex hose is highly compressive with a 4:1 stretch ratio, wire reinforced and a full 360° cleaning end. The smart simple design uses no latches or buttons to secure the hose at the valve but instead uses ultra strong rare earth magnets to lock the hose in place while not in use. The end of the hose is sealed closed while stored in the WallyFlex valve with closed cell foam mounted under an open cell foam spring cushion. The seal prevents airflow from escaping your vacuum system while using other inlets without the need for a tight friction fit or external cap.
The WallyFlex system can be used in every room. It's most popular uses are in high traffic areas like a mudroom, utility space, kitchen or entry. The stretch hose with cleaning end is also great for the workbench or production area where access to quick cleaning with minimal storage is needed. WallyFlex does not require vacuum tools to quickly clean dry soils like potting soil, chunks of mud, breakfast cereal, sawdust, pet hair, sewing threads or other debris however the universal cleaning end fits all standard vacuum tools and wands for use with your favourite cleaning implement.
The WallyFlex central vacuum hose system allows you to clean where you want when you want. Easy to install in new or existing homes WallyFlex is reliable to use with a simple design. The WallyFlex is white in color and reaches up to 13 feet with a highly compressive wire reinforced vinyl hose that is durable and easy to stretch. WallyFlex is manufactured by ITL, makers of CycloVac cleaning systems and includes a 1 year manufacturers domestic use warranty. WallyFlex hose systems can easily be roughed-in with a standard (backside) inlet mounting plate. Each WallyVac kit includes: (front side) mounting bracket, valve with switch, stretch hose, (6) mounting screws and owners/install manual.

A TAMIL refugee branded a security threat by ASIO and held in detention in Melbourne has attempted to take his life, following a suicide attempt last week by another Tamil man in Sydney.
Managing arrivals from Sri Lanka has emerged as the biggest challenge for immigration authorities, with the latest boat intercepted at Cocos Island on Wednesday carrying 86 people.
It comes as international pressure builds for a boycott of the Commonwealth meeting to be held in Sri Lanka next year.
More than 5700 Sri Lankans have landed on Australian territory this year, making up more than 80 per cent of all asylum seekers who have arrived by boat.
The Immigration Department has stepped up involuntary deportation of Sri Lankans from the majority Singhalese ethnic group, including 32 on Thursday.
But the number of arrivals continues to outpace deportations and the United Nations has expressed alarm that Australia may not be adequately assessing asylum claims.
Of Sri Lankan asylum seekers already in Australia, the most difficult cases include more than 50 people, the majority Tamils, held in detention.
They have been found to be refugees - preventing them being returned home - but branded a security risk by ASIO, making them ineligible for release into the community.
About 10 men with adverse assessments are being held at the Broadmeadows centre in Melbourne. There have been several suicide attempts this year among the group.
The latest case involves a man - known as Fairfax - who has been detained since June 2009.
He was found early on Thursday morning by another detainee and taken to hospital.
