Town Square We draw the lines redistricting to be derailed? Original post made by jimf01 on Feb 15, 2010 Before it can even leave the station, a group which is now funded by Nancy Pelosi and her corruptocrat cronies will try to repeal the voter approved Prop 11 from 2008. According to LA Times blogs: A potential ballot measure to scrap California's first-in-the- nation citizens redistricting commission got a huge financial boost Thursday when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat allies in Congress poured $140,000 into the campaign. The funds went to the proposed Fair Accountability in Redistricting Act, written by UCLA law professor Daniel Lowenstein. The measure would abolish the existing citizens commission, which is currently accepting applications and is set to redraw California's state legislative districts in 2011. Voters created that panel when they approved Proposition 11 in 2008. link: Web Link (The group actually call themselves "Financial Accountability in Redistricting", perhaps a Fr

Letters - The Explorer: Voices Letters to the editor published in the December 1, 2010, edition of The Explorer. Font Size: Default font size Larger font size Posted: Wednesday, December 1, 2010 12:00 am | Updated: 8:12 am, Thu Mar 24, 2011. It’s insurance policy, not an entitlement I am tired of hearing that Social Security is an entitlement. Social Security and Medicare are insurance policies. The insurance company, the Federal Government Insurance Company, collects premiums, sets premiums and has no legal obligation to pay any benefits. It determines benefits. The policy holder must pay the premiums and can’t negotiate the premiums or choose another company. Consider that every job in the private sector that pays $5,000 per month has a current Medicare premium of 2.9 percent and Social Security premium of 12.4 percent of the $5,000. I say “current,” because our FGIC can change these premiums at will. As wages have gone up over the decades, the amount taken in by the FGIC has gone up with them. This

Space Station Crew Crash-Lands; Hawking Talks Unintelligent life exists elsewhere, cosmologist speculates. Did it design the Soyuz capsule? "Ballistic re-entry" is a pleasant-sounding euphemism for what happened to Russia's Soyuz spacecraft on Saturday, but from press accounts like this one by MSNBC, it sounds as if the capsule basically crash-landed. What sort of questions does this incident raise for the safety of continued space exploration? In other space exploration news, accomplished astrophysicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking stated last night that life probably exists on other planets but that it may not be intelligent enough to communicate with us. "Primitive life is very common, and intelligent life is fairly rare," he said, according to the Associated Press. "Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth." Hawking endorsed human exploration of space, saying, "If the human race is to continue for another million years, we will have to boldly go where no one has gone before."

This week, the Seattle area has lived up to its reputation as home to the future of technology, with three local (or formerly local) innovators making the national media rounds in Technology Review, the New York Times, and Time Magazine. And not in just one field or sector either—the three span academia (smart sensors), a major online video company, and a pervasive viral humor blog startup. —Jason Kilar, CEO of online video website Hulu and a former Amazon executive, wrote a personal essay for the New York Times about his journey into the world of Internet startups, including his first meeting with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, back when Bezos could be much more casual in presentation than he could probably get away with now.

GOP's DeMint: Obama Coming Around on Tax Cuts This year's lame duck session of Congress is turning into more of an excited goose, as both political parties have engaged in recent days in lively public negotiations over federal spending, unemployment benefits and nuclear weapons disarmament. But foremost on the agenda is the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts and Republican leaders appear to be successfully wielding leverage to have the cuts extended across the board, reports CBS News correspondent Nancy Cordes. "It looks like the president has come around to the idea, with encouragement from other Democrats, that we can't raise taxes in a recession," said Republican South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint on the CBS' "Early Show" on Thursday. "I would prefer a permanent extension of the current tax rate. I suspect the president is going push for something more temporary." After meetings Wednesday between GOP leaders that many called civil and positive, Mr. Obama also voiced confidence that a compromise would be

By Copaseticbob on 9/5/2011 6:29:48 PM , Rating: 2 I guess you could argue that, but I think it would be more applicable 80,000 years ago vs. modern human society. I think the big difference in the scenarios is time; In the more natural extinctions (with exception of powerful natural disasters, which take a while to balance out) take a little longer, where currently we are killing off animals at a rate that nature cant compensate in a balanced way. A good example is bees. Do you know eff'd the world would be without bees? Now, these animals may not be quite the cornerstone creature that bees are, but are part of a system that we shouldn't have messed with to begin with.

Skip over navigation Top 5 Geekiest Movie Musicals Top 5 Geekiest Movie Musicals By Swapna Krishna There are a lot of great movies out right now, but one that everyone is talking about is Les Miserables, the Victor Hugo-penned novel that was adapted into one of the most famous musicals of all time. We thought it was fine (well, some of us didn't) but there was ZERO geek factor to it! So, in honor of all the musical theatre geeks out there, we give you our top 5 geekiest movie musicals OF ALL TIME. 5) Little Shop of Horrors (1986) Little Shop of Horrors started out as a stage musical... but the stage musical that the movie version was based on was based on a movie. Confused yet? Little Shop of Horrors was originally a movie by campy horror director Roger Corman (who also made such gems as A Bucket of Blood) in the 1960s. Composer Alan Menken (who would later go on to write the music for Disney's Beauty and the Beast) and writer Howard Ashman adapted the script for the stage, creating an off- Broadway mus

How to Get Wineries to Donate to Your Event Today’s post is from Ian White, a Napa Valley professional who develops marketing programs for businesses in the wine country and the artisan food world. In addition to running Butter Communications with his partner, Ian serves as the Wine Country Manager for 7×7 Magazine and writes the weekly wine blog, “Napa Valley Insider”. The M7 event had flowing wine for guests, because the author followed these tips. At both 7×7 and Butter Communications, I plan, negotiate, execute and follow-up on a wide array of events, ranging from four-day cheese festivals to one night exclusive parties. If I’m not supplying the wine or pouring at the event, I find others to do it. This isn’t always easy. Here are some tips from my experience, and some insights from Ann Howle, executive event planner, Peju Winery in Napa Valley, to help you get the vino to your show. Step 1: Background Check Make sure that your audience is the right market for the winery you are approaching. Winerie

"People Who Don't Believe in Government Do a Bad Job of Running It": I've heard this refrain over and over, with regard to FEMA, the V.A., and other examples of government incompetence that happen to occur in the Bush Administration. Via commenter Justin, here's an example from "Balloon Juice": "people who don’t believe in government do a crappy job when they try to run it. You can look practically anywhere in government today and find the same story – managing the occupation of Iraq, science, women's health, disaster management." Here are two major problems with this thesis: (1) The Bush Administration is not exactly full of libertarians; exactly who in the Bush Administration "don't believe in government"? Given that government spending during this administration has increased at rates not seen since Lyndon Johnson, the better lesson would appear to be that "throwing government money at problems doesn't make them go away." (2) We have plenty of examples of people who surely did believe in government that

Discrimination Against Traditional Mothers April 6, 2006 Volume 8 / Number 14 Discrimination Against Traditional Mothers Dear Colleague: How far will discrimination against homemakers and their families go? A Dutch politician wants to push the envelope by forcing college-educated homemakers into the workforce. Steven W. Mosher President Thus the logic of feminism: A prominent female member of the Dutch parliament has proposed fining college-educated Dutch women who choose to be homemakers rather than work. Sharon Dijksma, deputy chairwoman (chairperson?) of the Dutch Labor Party, provides yet more evidence that feminism was never about giving women choices but about destroying the family in order to enhance the power of the state. "A highly-educated woman who chooses to stay at home and not to work--that is destruction of capital," Dijksma said, according to the English-language Brussels Journal ( ) on March 31. "If you receive the benefit of an expensive education at society's expense, you should not

Take the 2-minute tour × This question already has an answer here: Something confuses me. God is omniscient, meaning He knows everything, including our decisions in life. God says we have free will, but how is that so if I can't make the choice to not do something God knows for a fact that I will do. If God knows I will do something, I don't have the free will to not do it, meaning I don't have free will at all. So why does He say we have free will? share|improve this question Also a truth question since it has no scope or perspective from which to answer. –  Daи Aug 19 '13 at 4:02 You could scope a question like this by narrowing it down to an answerable level.

Skip to main content Movie talk I don't know where the last 'general movie chit chat' thread went so here's another... I just watched the Midnight Meat Train. I heard it was pretty poor but I thought I'd give it a go and despite the incredibly bad cgi I got about half way through thinking it wasn't that bad. But then it just got silly at the end and yes it is a bit shite. Then I watched Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes) which was awesome. Seriously. I really wanted to see this at FrightFest in the summer but they showed it during a day I was working so I couldn't go. Anyway, it's a brilliant film. Basically it involves time-travel but I won't go into it as it'll just give it away and hurt my head. Just watch it. I saw Primer a few years ago, a low-budget time-travel film which I got all excited about until I watched it and realised it was a pile of wank. I had a bad feeling that Timecrimes would also disappoint me but it didn't. It's so simple (in a way) with a small cast and the lead character, some normal

Allentown's solution for wayward motorists: boot camp Road Warrior January 11, 2008|By Dan Hartzell Of The Morning Call Q: I noticed a car parked in Allentown, and there was what looked like an orange clamp on one wheel. What was this, and what is the clamp used for? Linda Saeger A: That was a car belonging to a long-term parking-ticket scofflaw, Linda, and the clamp, often known as a "boot" or "Denver boot," is a device preventing the motorist from moving the vehicle until the outstanding fees are paid. These boots are made for stopping, Linda, and that's just what they do. The 27-pound steel devices prevent the clamped wheel from rotating, and severe damage would result if a motorist even tried to drive a booted vehicle. Allentown Parking Authority officers slap warning placards on the windshield and the driver- and passenger-side windows in a bid to ensure the affected motorist is aware of the situation. If the vehicle owner, who's ultimately responsible, doesn't respond to the Parking Authority w

Ask Him Anything Q&A columns Special Offer Q:When my guy and I are making out, he always gets really dirty, telling me all the naughty things he's going to do to me. But when we finally get to the main event, he doesn't do any of the X-rated things he said he would. Why does he talk such a big game and then not follow through? A:There are a few reasons why your man may be all talk and no action. First, he might just be the type who gets off on talking dirty and doesn't feel any desire to follow through. Certain words and phrases — too X-rated to print here — trigger a raw, sexual response in him because they're not things he would normally ever say. Would he ever act on them? Probably not. But the thought alone is enough to drive him verbal masturbation. Another explanation is that your guy wants to put his dirty thoughts into action, but he's waiting for some feedback from you first. You know, testing the waters a little before he takes the plunge. For example, if he says something like "Do you like it whe

I'm installing 3-in. intermediate metal conduit (IMC) with an extended run length of about 300 ft to 350 ft. My coworkers told me I have to install a pull box about every 100 ft, but I can't find a reference to this in the NEC. Is there a rule in the Code that specifies the maximum distance between pull points? A. No. The Code does not specify when a pull box is required, but Sec. 314.28 does specify how to properly size a pull box. You can run the raceway as long as you want, but the Code does not permit more than the equivalent of four quarter bends (360∞ total) between pull points [Secs. 362.26, 342.26, 344.26, 352.46, 358.26, 348.26, 350.26, and 356.26].

Tolkien Gateway Revision as of 19:05, 19 December 2007 by Dwarf Lord (Talk | contribs) Angelo Montanini's illustration of Dori. Dori was a Dwarf of Durin's folk who lived in the northern Blue Mountains, and later the Lonely Mountain. He had two brothers named Nori, and Ori. They were also remote kinsman to King Thorin Oakenshield. He wore a purple hood, and played the fute. The Quest of Erebor in 2941 Dori was one of twelve selected Dwarves to accompany Thorin Oakenshield on a quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the Dragon Smaug. Dori was the strongest of the thirteen Dwarves, and he was fond of food. And he was quite a decent fellow. Dori later fought in and survived the Battle of Five Armies. And was also given his share of the treasure by Dáin II Ironfoot]], and made his home in Erebor. Erebor, And the War of the Ring Dori lived a very rich life after the quest as one of the reclaimers of the mountain. He was still living during the War of the Ring, and may have fought in the Battle of Dale

I currently have a database that is residing off-site and I was asked to import the database and transaction logs so that this server can be used for reporting purposes only. I have to restore transaction logs on a daily basis and left the database in "Standby" "Read Only" Everything is working fine but two things are happening. One is that I have to do this task everynight which is rather annoying and secondly I have to restore these transaction logs one at a time. I try to restore all 26 logs in order but it will not let me. I can only do one at a time and that sucks. I am trying to accomplish the following. I want to be able to have this done automatically and leave the database in Read Only/Standby when it is done. Can someone point me in the right directions? Thank you.

It is shown that even a single developing cell of a layered network exhibits a remarkable set of optimization properties that are closely related to issues in statistics, theoretical physics, adaptive signal processing, the formation of knowledge representation in artificial intelligence, and information theory. The network studied is based on the visual system. These results are used to infer an information-theoretic principle that can be applied to the network as a whole, rather than a single cell. The organizing principle proposed is that the network connections develop in such a way as to maximize the amount of information that is preserved when signals are transformed at each processing stage, subject to certain constraints. The operation of this principle is illustrated for some simple cases.<

Aetna Inc. Part 7: Growing Technology In Many Directions Part 7: Growing Technology In Many Directions The software and Internet explosion in Silicon Valley was still years away when Sukhminder Grewal worked there as a nuclear engineer for General Electric in the '80s. But when Yale School of Medicine recruited Grewal's wife, a post-doctoral immunologist then at Stanford, the young couple headed east, to Connecticut. "It broke my heart to move," Grewal said. "We said, 'We'll give it a shot.'" Grewal joined GE's Fairfield headquarters, where he examined what computerization could mean. That led to his role developing 3-D computer design at GE's jet engine unit, work he did largely while on the road. By the end of the 1990s,...

Hi all I have a customer who uses a .gif file as the company signature. Each employee has a gif with his own information so that each can have his/her own signature. When you're creating the signature and hit the "add image" button, a username/password popup appears on the screen. If you enter it, it works ok. If not, you get a broken link on the signature. The same happens when you go to the briefcase and try to preview the file that is uploaded after you insert the image on the signature. I discovered that it happens because the zimbra server's hostname is mx.example.com but people use webmail.example.com to access the web gui. If they access through mx.example.com it works just fine but i'm not much into changing their zimbra hostname...but if that's the only solution Zimbra version is Release 6.0.4_GA_2038.UBUNTU8_64 UBUNTU8_64 NETWORK edition

Saving Detroit Politicians, business and the unions all want a bail-out of Ford and General Motors. That would be a mistake See article Readers' comments As a long-suffering shareholder of a Detroit car company, I agree with your opinion on the automakers. Let the intransigent UAW members collect their extended unemployment benefits from the depleted insurance funds of Michigan and Ohio, let Medicare assume the medical insurance of employees and retirees, and let the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. wrestle with their pension claims. CAFE fuel and safety standards can be imposed on whatever automobiles Americans can afford to import with their depreciating dollars.

How Stalin Created Some of the Post-Soviet World's Worst Ethnic Conflicts By Robert Coalson From bizarre border policies to the forced deportation of ethnic groups, Stalin oversaw the policies that gave rise to today's Central Asian strife. dagestan banner.jpg Investigators and security personnel work at a scene of suicide blast near a police camp in the Dagestani town of Khasavyurt, October 24, 2010. A policeman was killed, and seven people were injured in the attack. (Reuters) Eighty- one-year-old Nikolai Khasig was born in Sukhumi in 1932. It was just one year after Soviet dictator Josef Stalin stripped Abkhazia of its short-lived status as a full-fledged republic of the USSR and made it a region of Soviet Georgia. At the end of 1936, Lavrenty Beria -- at that time the head of the Transcaucasia region and later the sadistic head of Stalin's secret police -- invited the popular Abkhaz leader Nestor Lakoba to dinner at his house in Tbilisi. Lakoba died suddenly -- officially, of a heart attack, but it wa

Around world, Bloomberg soda war hard to swallow CASSANDRA VINOGRAD Associated Press Published: LONDON (AP) -- New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed a ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks in restaurants, delis and movie theaters in the hopes of combating obesity. Under his plan, sugary drinks would be limited to 16 fluid ounces -- almost half a liter. Around the world, portion sizes are generally smaller. Perceptions of American overconsumption have been fueled by films such as "Super Size Me" and the spread of U.S. fast-food chains. "I know what American culture is like -- big portions, not necessarily health-conscious," Gordon Howard, who works in finance, said at a London wine tasting. "They supersize everything." Like Howard, many people around the world say the notion of a 44-ounce cola doesn't hold much water for them -- but neither did a ban. The idea of drinking that much soda -- or liquid of any kind -- is "excessive" to 32-year-old Simon Robinson, but he said wouldn

Breakfast briefing: Microsoft splashes out despite layoffs • Despite cutting thousands of jobs - including some in the UK - Microsoft has splashed out on purchasing boutique Vancouver games studio BigPark, reports VentureBeat. The 50 employees will become a part of Microsoft's Xbox division, but terms of the deal aren't public. • Despite concerns that Oracle might get rid of Sun's pesky hardware division, Larry Ellison has put those rumours to rest. "We are definitely not going to exit the hardware business," he told Reuters - adding that he actually planned to boost investment in SPARC chips. • I'll admit I was pretty sceptical about Intel's new "rock star" advertising campaign but since Jack pointed me to one of the ads featuring USB god Ajay Bhatt and it made me smile, I thought I'd pass it on.

Local Somalis condemn suicide bombing in homeland Issues Laura Yuen · · 1. Listen Story audio Dec 15, 2009 Even Somali-Americans hardened by the bloodshed of their homeland were sickened by the latest attack, a suicide bombing in Mogadishu on Dec. 3. Many say the bombing was one of the saddest moments in recent Somali history. The bomber killed at least 22 people at a graduation ceremony for medical students. Some people have even called the attack "Somalia's 9/11." On Sunday, about 100 Somali-Americans scrounged up their last shreds of hope for their homeland as part of a community rally in Minneapolis to condemn the violence and pray for the victims' families. Some of the peaceful protesters were young people like Mukhtar Osman, who consider the bombing victims their own peers. Osman, a 26-year-old civil engineer from Minneapolis, knew at least five people who were injured or killed in the graduation ceremony, on a day that should have been one of the happiest of their lives. "I had a lot of

Take the tour × I would like to know if there are any documented performance differences between a Python interpreter that I can install from an rpm (or using yum) and a Python interpreter compiled from sources (with a priori well set flags for compilations). I am using a Redhat 6.3 machine as Django/Apache/Mod_WSGI production server. I have already properly compiled everything in different setups and in different orders. However, I usually keep the build-dev dependencies on such machine. For some various ego-related (and more or less practical) reasons, I would like to use Python-2.7.3. By default, Redhat comes with Python-2.6.6. I think I could go with it but it would hurt me somehow (I would have to drop and find a replacement for a few libraries and my ego). However, besides my ego and dependencies, I would like to know what would be the impact in terms of performance for a Django server. share|improve this question add comment 1 Answer up vote 3 down vote accepted If you compile with the exact sam

DEAR AMY: My girlfriend and I have been together for a few years. We've had our share of ups and downs. We live a few blocks from each other. Recently, we discussed our tight money situation. A few days after that conversation, she asked me for a $1,000 loan, which she would pay back over the next couple of months. She needed the money to pay off a settlement with an attorney she had used during her divorce. Not having the $1,000 readily available, I told her that I would have to withdraw the funds from my son's college savings account. I replied to her loan request by agreeing on the condition that she sign a promissory note. She says this is the last straw, and proof that I don't really love (or trust) her. We haven't spoken since. Was I out of line? DEAR K: Not only were you not out of line, but my thinking is that the person asking for a $1,000 loan should approach this by offering upfront to sign a note, without being asked. You report that money is tight for both of you. This should give your frien

Take the 2-minute tour × When trying to play a movie I purchased from Google Play, the movie player (same Flash-based one used by YouTube) spits out the following error message over a background of faux-TV-static: An Error Occurred.

All other YouTube videos play fine for me, including the freaking Google Play trailer for the movie I bought! Sheesh. I Googled around for solutions, but I guess Google Play is too cutting edge for Ubuntu, because most of the solutions (in Ubuntu Forums, for example) recommended installing a Linux-specific Firefox plugin called Flash-Aid that essentially runs a configurable set of shell commands to ensure that you have the latest Flash from Adobe installed, and that you do not have any of the possibly conflicting free implementations of Flash installed (Gnash, etc).

Franz Mehring Absolutism and Revolution in Germany The French Revolution Historically speaking, the great French Revolution that broke out in 1789, through its effects on Europe, restored the vitality of a Germany that had degenerated in the swamp of feudalism. In this revolution, the warring classes and parties stripped off for the first time all religious disguise and struggled against one another in purely secular forms, openly proclaiming their purely secular aims. Thus Christianity entered its last phase as a world-historical phenomenon. Incapable of serving any longer as the ideological banner of any historically progressive class, it became more and more the exclusive possession of the ruling classes. From then onwards they used it as a naked instrument of rule, in which sense it made no difference to them whether or not they believed in the religion they insisted on preserving amongst the people. In the very period that absolute monarchy revealed itself in Germany as merely a deterrent caricatu

Spending Clause Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 Although the Spending Clause is the source of congressional authority to levy taxes, it permits the levying of taxes for two purposes only: to pay the debts of the United States, and to provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States. Taken together, these purposes have traditionally been held to imply and constitute the "Spending Power." To many today, those two purposes are so broad as to amount to no limitation at all. The contemporary view is that Congress's power to provide for the "general Welfare" is a power to spend for virtually anything that Congress itself views as helpful. To be sure, some of the Founders, most notably Alexander Hamilton, supported an expansive spending power during the Constitutional Convention; but such proposals, including an explicit attempt to authorize spending by the federal government for internal improvements, were rejected by the Convention. Hamilton continued to press his case by arguing during G

While a person's likelihood of developing these mutations can be influenced by various environmental factors such as viruses -- the Human Papillomavirus puts women at higher risk for cervical cancer and Hepatitis B increases the risk for liver cancer -- some people are born with these "defective signals."

Since writing at the end of April the Australian Dollar (FXA) has fallen sharply from 1.05 to 97 cent - a drop of over 7%. The important point to realize is that the Australian dollar's decline has only begun. It has far further to fall. The fundamental reasons why it will continue to decline sharply are still in place. These include:- • The boom in commodities has crowded out the rest of the economy. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) realizes a much cheaper currency is needed to stimulate growth and exports in indigenous manufacturing and services. These areas have become uncompetitive as the cost of living has increased a

Take the 2-minute tour × Consider the $\mathbb Z$-module that consists of the polynomials in $\mathbb Z[x,y]$ that are homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ in the indeterminates $x$ and $y$ (homogeneous meaning that all terms of the form $c_{ij} x^i y^j$ are such that $i+j = d$, where $d$ is the degree of the polynomial). One can see that there is a unique way of writing an homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ in the form $$ \sum_{j=0}^d c_k y^{d-k} \prod_{i=0}^{k-1} (x-iy) $$ because there is precisely one term where $x$ is at the $k^{th}$ power for any $k$ in the range $[0,d]$, hence we can compute coefficients. Therefore, the polynomials $y^{d-k} \prod (x-iy)$ form a basis of the $\mathbb Z$-module. Is it possible to write any homogenous polynomial of degree $d$ in the form $$ \sum_{k=0}^d c_k \left( \prod_{i=0}^{d-k-1} (y-ipx) \right) \left( \prod_{i=0}^{k-1} (x-iy) \right) $$ where $p$ is a prime number?

I've been woefully neglectful of this blog for a while now, so I figured why not revive it, starting with my most recent birth story? Exciting, right? The same disclaimer I placed before Dominic's birth story applies here. If you're squeamish or don't want to read about my girl parts doing anything, let alone pushing a baby out, you should probably stop reading. If those things don't bother you, continue on, soldier. I had been having irregular contractions on and off for a few weeks. Every night around suppertime I played the immortal game of "Is it, or isn't it?" So on the day of my 40 week prenatal appointment I was burning with curiosity to see if I had made any progress. When the midwife checked me, she excitedly informed me that I was a "good" 4cm and 80% effaced. At my 39 week appointment I was 2cm and 75% effaced, so in a week I was able to make a good 2cm progress! I still didn'

pediatrics, medical specialty dealing with the development and care of children and with the diagnosis and treatment of childhood diseases. The first important review of childhood illness, an anonymous European work called The Children’s Practice, dates from the 12th century. The specialized focus of pediatrics did not begin to emerge in Europe until the 18th century. The first specialized children’s hospitals, such as the London Foundling Hospital, established in 1745, were opened at this time. These hospitals later became major centres for training in pediatrics, which began to be taught as a separate discipline in medical schools by the middle of the 19th century. The major focus of early pediatrics was the treatment of infectious diseases that affected children. Thomas Sydenham in Britain had led the way with the first accurate descriptions of measles, scarlet fever, and other diseases in the 17th century. Clinical studies of childhood diseases proliferated throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, culmina

MPC packs features into its new TransPort X3100 Security, usability touches make it a good fit for agencies MPC Computers has made a practice of listening to government customers and developing notebook computers that address their unique'if often quirky'requirements. Case in point: the new MPC TransPort X3100. Why have USB ports on three sides of the system? MPC officials tout it as meeting 508 accessibility standards, which require treating left- and right-handed users equally. Now that's attention to detail. The X3100 also has a handy, one-touch button for shutting down the embedded 802.11 a/b/g wireless radio. This feature is extremely helpful for agencies that need to enforce wireless policies, but we're finding half the notebooks we review don't offer it. The X3100 also has an integrated fingerprint scanner and Smart Card reader, both for maintaining high levels of security. We were also impressed by the X3100's implementation of short-range Bluetooth wireless technology in even the most basic model

Maryland v. King - 12-207 (2013) No. 12–207 on writ of certiorari to the court of appeals of maryland [June 3, 2013] Justice Scalia, with whom Justice Ginsburg, Justice Sotomayor, and Justice Kagan join, dissenting.      The Fourth Amendment forbids searching a person for evidence of a crime when there is no basis for believing the person is guilty of the crime or is in possession of incriminating evidence. That prohibition is categorical and without exception; it lies at the very heart of the Fourth Amendment. Whenever this Court has allowed a suspicionless search, it has insisted upon a justifying motive apart from the investigation of crime.      At the time of the Founding, Americans despised the British use of so-called “general warrants”—warrants not grounded upon a sworn oath of a specific infraction by a particular individual, and thus not limited in scope and application. The first Virginia Constitution declared that “general warrants, whereby any officer or messenger may be command

After Julian Assange invited a group of leading Latin American journalists to London and gave them thousands of internal documents from the US State Department, the media and political landscape in Latin America was forever changed. From confirmation of the United States’s deep involvement in the drug war in Mexico and its efforts to alienate Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, to national governments conspiring with foreign multinationals to alter safety regulations, the cables revealed a corrupt world of diplomacy, long suspected, but rarely glimpsed. Peter Kornbluh, guest editor of this week’s double- issue about WikiLeaks and Latin America, speaks with Associate Editor Liliana Segura about how “cablegate” rocked the region, and has inspired a new generation of investigative journalists. —Max Rivlin-Nadler

Last response: in CPUs Okay, I have this old Pentium 4... and when i look in the system menu, it says that its a pentium 4 @ 2.00 GHz, 2.02 GHz..... Does this mean that it has got hyper-threading? I havent gotten as far as using CPU-z on the machine, yet, so u dont have to tell me that. :p  Best solution Hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc, and look at performance tab, if it has 2 column on CPU usage history it means it has hyper threading, but if it's one then it doesn't have hyper threading. But 2.0GHz P4 i can 95% say it has no hyper threading... Related resources Doesn't matter, the 20MHz won't do any difference But that's a calculation by computer, the actual speed is FSB times multiplier and FSB fluctuates by a small margin that cause the extra 20MHz

Celiac Awareness Month Tomorrow kicks off a month that is very personally important to me. It’s May, yes, which means nice weather, blooming flowers, the start of summer barbecues, evening beach walks, and Greatist’s move to NYC. But it’s also Celiac Awareness Month. As someone who was relatively unaware of this disease— I had heard of it once or twice in a few nutrition and culinary classes— my diagnosis last March came as quite a shock. Actually, more like an 18-wheeler careening down the highway at 90 miles an hour and slamming into a brick wall. The only cure for Celiacs is a completely gluten-free diet,which means cutting out all gluten, the protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. Basically, Celiac sufferers can kiss any conventional breads and baked goods goodbye— forever. Even a speck invisible to the naked eye can make us sick. I thought my life was over, that surely I could not last my last year in college without drinking beer (which, because of it’s raw materials of barley or wheat, sadly, is b

'Jewish Money' Is Not A Good Way to Smear Political Candidates In 2010S Was the finance director of New York Rep. Mike McMahon's reelection campaign hired in 1927? Back then, it might have been a good idea to show how much 'Jewish money' your political opponent received. But not now! Not in 2010! Democratic incumbent Mike McMahon is currently battling it out with Republican candidate Mike Grimm for their New York City district. McMahon's campaign finance director Debra Solomon, who is Jewish, somehow thought she was being helpful by compiling a list of Jewish donors to Grimm's campaign, labeling it "Grimm Jewish Money Q2,"and passing it to the New York Observer. This, she believed, was a good way to show that Republican Mike Grimm "lacks support among voters in the district," according to the Observer. Except she forgot to account for two important things! 1) What? 2) The fuck? Also, the fact that Jewish people live in the district and many non-Jewish donors live outside it, so why even point out "Jewis

Ky. Voices: Relieving lower back pain without danger of toxic shots October 30, 2012  Dr. Jim Roach practices at the Midway Center for Integrative Medicine. The growing number of deaths from fungus-contaminated cortisone back injections are tragic. What are the options? Hardworking physicians have struggled for answers. Most pain relief is limited to the duration of an injection or pain pill. Physical therapy, often effective, can fail. Beyond infection, cortisone in any form promotes diabetes, cardiovascular disease and bone decay. Non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs increase bleeding and cardiovascular risk, can impede healing, but may relieve break-through pain. Chronic narcotic use can lead to addiction, crime, damaged fetuses and destroyed families. Prescriptions are now the preferred drugs of abuse. Hydrocodone use has led to a surge in heroin addiction far outpacing cocaine. Can prescriptions be for five pain pills instead of thirty? Can disability rolls be pared? A root cause of pain is infla

Suspension Terminology Nov. 01, 2005 By Larry Harris You are on the way to your favorite trail. You hit a pothole. The steering wheel is jerked violently left then right as the truck is heading to the side of the road. You have bump-steer! This phenomenon is a result of modifying your tie rod and drag link geometry. The tie rod and drag link, as installed at the factory, are very close to parallel. Keeping these components parallel reduces bump-steer. Installing longer shackles, lifted springs, or a spring-over axle lift will change your tie rod and drag link angle. To compensate, you can install a drop Pitman arm, a "Z" thingy (modified drag link) or the Linkage Steering Kit offered by Calmini Products (presently only offered for the Samurai). Any of the these will help to restore proper steering geometry. Installing a steering stabilizer or power steering is not a fix for this problem, it will just disguise it. Installing an aftermarket suspension on your truck has some trade offs. On the plus side

Reply to comment The revelation game This article is adapted from a chapter of Steven Brams' book, Game theory and the humanities: Bridging two worlds, published by The MIT Press and reproduced here with kind permission. The book has been reviewed in Plus. Blaise Pascal, 1623-1662. Is it rational to believe in a god? The most famous argument in favour of belief is that of Blaise Pascal, known as Pascal's wager. Assuming that we'll never know whether or not God exists, at least not in this world, Pascal advised that a prudent and rational person should believe. If it turns out that God does exists, then this strategy comes with a reward of infinite bliss in the afterlife. If God doesn't exist, the penalty is neglible: a few years of self-delusion. By comparison, if one believed that God did not exist, but this turned out to be false, one would suffer an eternity of torment. Faced with these options it's rational to believe. Pascal's approach does not assume that God gives us any indication of his (for Pa

Symmetry of Snowflakes surface bump...................dendrite ...........complex snowflake    With more water molecules reaching the bump, the bump grows faster.  In a short time, the bump sticks out even farther than it did before, and so it grows even faster.  We call this a branching instability -- small bumps develop into large branches, and bumps on the branches become sidebranches.  Complexity is born.   This instability is a major player in producing the complex shapes of snow crystals.And since the ambient atmospheric conditions are nearly identical across the crystal, all six budding arms grow at roughly the same rate.     The temperature seen by the snow crystal is not constant in time, however, since the crystal is being blown about and is thus carried over great distances in a cloud.  But the crystal growth rates depend strongly on temperature.  Thus the six arms of the snow crystals each change their growth with time, reflecting the ever-changing conditions in the cloud.  And because each arm

Illinois Clamps Down on Equine 'Milkshakes' Milkshakes, which are commonly a combination of bicarbonate and other substances believed to affect a horse's performance, are tested through measuring a horse's carbon dioxide level. Beginning March 1, if carbon dioxide levels exceed 39 millimoles per liter for a horse competing on furosemide, or 37 millimoles per liter if a horse is not using furosemide, the trainer of record will be fined $2,000 and suspended for at least 60 days. Any purse earnings would also be redistributed. Additionally, the horse will be subject to "early detention" for a period identical to the trainer's suspension. Early detention is defined as a "pre-race guarded quarantine" for no less than six hours prior to the scheduled post time for the first race. For a second offense a trainer is subject to a $5,000 fine and 180-day suspension; a third offense within five years will result in a $5,000 fine and two-year suspension. If an owner or trainer contends such carbon dioxide levels are

SGD Paper Help Garcia-Martinez J, et al.  (2012) The relative importance of transcription rate, cryptic transcription and mRNA stability on shaping stress responses in yeast. Transcription 3(1):39-44 Abstract: It has been recently stated that stress- responding genes in yeast are enriched in cryptic transcripts and that this is the cause of the differences observed between mRNA amount and RNA polymerase occupancy profiles. Other studies have shown that such differences are mainly due to modulation of mRNA stabilities. Here we analyze the relationship between the presence of cryptic transcripts in genes and their stress response profiles. Despite some of the stress-responding gene groups being indeed enriched in specific classes of cryptic transcripts, we found no statistically significant evidence that cryptic transcription is responsible for the differences observed between mRNA and transcription rate profiles.

Does Church Membership Matter? Acts 2 September 05, 2013 BQ062712 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and there were added that day about three thousand souls. (2:41) As already noted, much present day evangelism seeks to make coming to Christ as easy as possible. Many today would be appalled that Peter made the cost of coming to Christ so high. How could he expect them to turn their backs publicly on their culture? How could he ask them to risk becoming outcasts among their families and society? How could he demand that they accept as Messiah the very One their leaders had rejected and executed? They would no doubt predict that the results of Peter’s sermon would be minimal. Such was not the case, however. Those who had received his word accepted the conditions and were baptized. Further, they amounted to more than an insignificant handful; there were added to the church that day about three thousand souls. That a precise number was recorded suggests that they kept track of those

Sheriff changes inmates' diets to cut back on fights Prisioners become less aggressive with this new meal plan Madison Burke, Jefferson City Reporter, POSTED: 03:36 PM CDT Jul 18, 2013    UPDATED: 03:51 PM CDT Jul 18, 2013  Jail Food Sheriff Greg White decided to make some dietary changes to the food of the Cole County Jail inmates two years ago in order to get better behavior out of the inmates. He lowered their sugar intake and completely eliminated caffeine from the menu. White made sure that all of the meals provided adequate nutritional needs of the prisoners. White says that he began to notice a difference in the behavior of the prisoners after a couple of days. He says the inmates became calmer and less aggressive. White's experiment was considered a success so his food plan is still used today. "It makes for a more peaceful environment," said White. "It reduces the fights or arguments." White also adds that sometimes the prisoners complain that they don't like the food. He reportedly tells the

Friday, May 23, 2008 Of References and Readers 1. You've been featured on Five Star Friday: 2. When I was a child reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, I had no idea what Turkish Delight was. (Actually, I googled it recently, and still don't have the perfect concept.) But I imagined something sweet and perfectly wonderful--so wonderful that if I ever have occasion to taste it I'm sure I'll be disappointed. 3. I was 22 went I went to England for a year and had a minor freak-out at the newsagent's when I saw Turkish Delight at the register. I only knew of it through The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and HAD to try it. Sadly, it was a Cadbury product of chocolate covered horrible gelatinous mass. It was vile. I consoled Edmund's obsession with it by reminding myself of some other British food I think is icky... But then a few years ago we went to Istanbul and had a lot of real Turkish Delight. The first words out of my mouth were "I love my sister, but she's doomed. I want more."

Bell Curve The Law Talking Guy Raised by Republicans U.S. West Wednesday, July 29, 2009 Kay Bailey Hutchison to Resign Texas Politics. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison announced today that she will resign from the Senate in "October/November" of this year to run in March against Gov. Perry (also R) for the governor's spot in Texas. No doubt she will want it as a launching pad for the Presidency in 2012 or 2016. Why does this matter? 1. Texas has a special election for a Senate seat. So while Perry will appoint a replacement for Hutchison, it will be for just a few months. Probably have the special election along with the 2010 governor's primary. Democrats can choose how much to go after this senate seat. With Democratic resurgence in Texas right now, they may force the GOP to spend a lot of money. 2. Sarah Palin has already endorsed Rick Perry in the expected fight with Hutchison. Note also that McCain and Hutchison hate each other, which is part of why he didn't pick her (far more qualified than Palin) for t
