PHS Photographer Honorable Mention in Contest

May 31, 2011

06/01/11 Lindsey Downs, a junior from Plymouth High School was recently awarded an Honorable Mention in the 2011 Photo Contest, sponsored by Jostens and Wolfe’s Camera.  This nationally acclaimed, annual competition recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of student photographers.

Downs was among 114 winners selected from more than 6000 contest entries submitted by high school, junior high and middle school students nationwide.  Photo contest submissions were judged on composition, artistic merit, and technical qualities, as well as the ability to convey a compelling story.

In addition to serving as an assistant editor for the 2011 Mayflower yearbook, Downs is also a member of the National Honor Society and French Club.  She throws shot put and discus on the girls track team.  She is a nine year member of the Green Acres 4-H Club.  Her parents are Lester and Patty Downs.

“Jostens is honored to recognize the artistic talents of student photographers and their ability to capture important school experiences and traditions through the lenses of their cameras,” said Gary Lundgren, Jostens’ senior program manager/education.  “Our photo contest allows students to personalize, share, and remember school experiences through sophisticated, high quality photography.  Many of the submitted photos will help tell their school story as part of the yearbook.”

Downs’ winning photograph, along with all the other winning photographs from the 2011 Photo Contest, were announced on Facebook and featured on the Web site.  These photos will also be featured in the 2011 issue of the Jostens Gotcha Covered Look Book, a popular resource for yearbook advisers and staffs seeking creative ideas, trends, and inspiration.

Southern Sun Abu Dhabi targets ‘bleisure’ travellers with ‘More Value’ opportunity

September 1, 2014 2:48 pm

Riding an unprecedented travel and tourism boom, the emirate of Abu Dhabi is rapidly building its appeal as an attractive stopover destination for corporate travellers looking to mix business with leisure during one single trip.

In order to capitalise on the increasing trend towards ‘bleisure’– a combination of business and leisure travel within one stay – Southern Sun Abu Dhabi has put together an enticing ‘More Value’ package that offers visitors to the emirate a chance to turn their business trip into a memorable leisure experience with a 50% cash back offer on F&B and accommodation.

With hotel establishments in Abu Dhabi reporting their best-ever half-year performance – having registered a 28% increase in guest arrivals and 15% increase in total revenue through the first six months of 2014 over the same period last year, according to the emirate’s Tourism and Culture Authority (TCA) – the growing trends of business & conference tourism and, particularly, ‘bleisure’ travel are being brought into sharper focus than ever before.

Targeting this trend, Southern Sun Abu Dhabi’s ‘More Value’ promotion offers guests spending Dhs600 at the hotel Dhs300 back in credit to spend on any of the 353 spacious rooms at the property or on the sumptuous array of traditional and modern dishes offered at its trendy dining venues, providing the opportunity for visitors to indulge in the hotel’s full spectrum of corporate and casual facilities.

“The traditional distinction between business and leisure travel is gradually blurring, as business travellers increasingly take their spouses along on trips that often stretch into extended stays with a leisure component,” said Pierre Delfau, the General Manager of Southern Sun Abu Dhabi, a leading deluxe hotel in the capital. “For today’s busy professional striving to find that elusive balance between work and home life, the blending of business and leisure during official trips creates a perfect harmony between the conflicting demands of career and personal or family responsibilities. Abu Dhabi with its status as a business tourism hub and its extensive line-up of cultural and entertainment events and attractions, is well-positioned to take advantage of this growing trend,” he added.

Abu Dhabi has lately emerged as a major business tourism centre, with a thriving MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) industry that has helped establish the city as a sought-after meeting destination. At the same time, the introduction of world-class sporting and entertainment attractions such as Yas Waterworld, Ferrari World, and Yas Marina Circuit, along with an extensive events calendar highlighted by concerts featuring major international artists, has seen a massive spike in the number of leisure travellers visiting the emirate. Now, the rising trend of ‘bleisure’ travel is opening up newer vistas for the capital’s hotel industry and has been identified by Southern Sun Abu Dhabi, as an increasingly important factor driving market upturn.

With a range of facilities enhanced by warm and welcoming South African hospitality, Southern Sun Abu Dhabi caters to those seeking both business and leisure amenities under one roof. The hotel offers an enticing blend of international and traditional cuisines across five distinctive outlets. The Foundry, the hotel’s evening steakhouse and all-day dining venue, is fitted with tranquil water features, concealed partitions and private rooms to provide a personalised dining experience. Fusion restaurant Kahraman, a favourite with travellers as well as city diners, serves flavours of Middle Eastern cuisine with a contemporary twist, complete with a central sushi counter. Balcon Bar, Terrace & Lounge offers an al fresco shisha bar and dining area, with traditional lounge seating, trellising and a reflection pond, creating the ideal setting for relaxing evening gatherings.

The hotel is located at a walking distance from Abu Dhabi Corniche, in close proximity to the city’s major landmarks such as Yas Island, Saadiyat Island and Abu Dhabi International Airport, making it ideal for guests looking for a restful and rejuvenating stay that takes in the best the city has to offer. Featuring state-of-the-art business amenities including three boardrooms, three meeting rooms and a business centre, Southern Sun Abu Dhabi is fully-equipped to host large-scale corporate events, making the property an excellent choice for business travellers.

The “More Value” promotion runs from 15 September until 31 October 2014 inclusive of the Eid al-Adha break. Credit received can be spent on rooms, or on food and beverages at The Foundry or Kahraman restaurant.

Communique from Colombia: International Political Prisoners Day

April 16, 2009
From the CEA-LA (centro de estudios abolicionistas por la liberación animal) (center of abolitionist studies for animal liberation) and the “Red Libertaria Popular Mateo Kramer” (Libertarian people’s network Mateo Kramer) receive a warm salute full of affection and rebelliousness.

Tomorrow, April 17 we will celebrate the international day of political prisoners, with the aim to generate and ambient of solidarity with all the fighters and revolutionaries around the globe, unveiling all the injustices and estate’s crimes, that in the frame of the actual socio-economic system we all have witnessed.

Today there’s thousands of our comrades retain in the walls of prisons, locked up for defending social justice, others for their militancy on behalf of the Earth and some others for their fight against slavery of non-human animals.

In Colombia there’s more than 7000 woman and men imprisoned for political reasons, maintained in precarious physical and psychological conditions and exposed to bad treatments. With the objective of terrify all who defend Human Rights, the Colombian government in the head of president Uribe criminalized all people who decide to give their life for the oppressed.

At the same time we are in solidarity, with all political prisoners who have give their lives in defense of the Earth and the liberation of non-human animals. For us there’s no difference in the different movements, we believe that total liberation in ONE build it from our differences.

That’s why we have to unite all our efforts and support all resistance around the globe… so each and every heart burns and light up the hopes and dreams shared for FREEDOM

In the name of CEA-LA (center of abolitionist studies for animal liberation) and the “Libertarian people’s network Mateo Kramer” we are in solidarity with all political prisoners around the globe, and we invite you to participate and get active in all initiatives for the International Day of Political Prisoners.

In Solidarity:

[amsat-bb] G5400 replacement pots - waS RE: (no subject)

Alan ve4yz at mts.net
Mon Sep 15 09:17:16 PDT 2008

Good and timely question Scott.   Every 10 years or so I rebuild these AZ
and EL rotators and replace the bears and low temperature grease I think
that the pot is always the weak link and never gets attention.  I have 3
sets of these AZ/EL rotators to maintain ( mine, club's and friend's ) so
about every 3 years I have at least one set of them on the bench.

I look forward to other's responses to replacing these pots that are
unenclosed, exposed to condensation, bugs etc, with  a looped centre wire
flexing/coiling/uncoiling with each satellite pass.

Our club has a 5400 Elevation Rotor with a bad potentiometer (wires on the
winding broken).

The part number is Vertex Q9000408, but I contacted them and they say this
part is no longer available.

Anyone have a source for an equivalent part or another alternative?

How to add an ester to test base?

  1. How to add an ester to test base?

    Can somebody give me a link, or explain to me how to add an ester to TNE?

    I plan on adding NaOH to a solution of methyl alcohol and synovex pellets to get test base.

    If it wasn't so expensive, I would just stick with buying the 'estrogen solubilizer' every time i did the conversion to get test prop.

    Also, as a side note, does anyone know exactly how well the 'estrogen solubilizer' actually DOES remove the estrogen from the final product? (anyone done any tests?)

    Sorry guys, but do to recent events we no longer encourage discussion that involves conversions, links to conversions, conversion kits, recipes and the likes.

Religious motifs : Overview. Search. About religious motifs

See also Hymn book, hymnal

Song, church

Description of this motif:

Psalms are religious songs. A remarkable example of the motif in the fairy tales and stories of Hans Christian Andersen is At the Uttermost Parts of the Sea. The title is a quote from psalm 139 of the bible's book of Psalms, a psalm by David.

Example :

"Because I saw you all over there so clearly, as if you really were right here! It was again that Sunday morning which you surely remember; all you children stood before the table and sang your hymns, just as you do every Sunday. You looked so devout, with your hands folded together; and your father and mother were just as pious. Then the door was opened, and little Sister Mary was put in the room. She really shouldn't have been there because she's less than two years old, and always tries to dance when she hears any kind of music or singing. She began to dance then, but she couldn't keep time-the music was too slow. First she stood on one leg and bent her head forward, and then she stood on the other leg and bent her head again-but it wouldn't do. You all stood together, and looked very serious, although it was difficult to keep from laughing, but I did laugh to myself so hard I fell off the table and got a bump that I still have! It was very wrong of me to laugh.

Comment on this quote: A tin soldier is talking to the boy, who gave it to the old man in the old house across the street.

Sharp releases the IS03 in Japan featuring a 960×640 retina display and 9.6MP camera

October 4, 2010 | by Lars Aronsson

Android News, Android Phones

Sharp IS03

Engadget is reporting that an Android device called IS03 is headed for the KDDI au network in Japan next month thanks to Sharp, and this particular handset has several notable and interesting hardware features. Above all, it doesn’t come with Android’s usual WVGA (800×480) display, as it rocks a 3.5-inch screen with a 960×640 resolution that matches the iPhone 4’s “retina display”. It also features Advanced Super View (ASV) – a technology that improves the viewing angle.

On top of the impressive display, the IS03 also boasts a 9.6 megapixel camera with image stabilization and autofocus, a one-seg TV tuner, and something called Osaifu-Keitai. The latter apparently enables the phone to be used for contactless payments in subways, et cetera.

The IS03 supports Global Passport CDMA and runs Android 2.1, but it will most likely get a Froyo upgrade sooner or later. This bad boy will unfortunately not be distributed outside Japan, but hopefully we’ll see Android phones featuring such hi-res screens before long in the rest of the world as well.

Ugh It's slower to open than molasses on a cold day, freezes more often than a deer in headlights, and requires.more tricks than a professional on 82nd Ave.

Julio Brown

Notification settings are ignored Even if notifications are disabled, this app will still pop up with them

Siggy Torfason

I usually like this app but lately when I click on a story it wont load. I wait and wait and nothing.

Michael Blankenship

Run! Run aeay as fast as you can!! When first looking at downloading this app, I read myriad poor reviews; 2.3 out of 5.0 was it's 'score'. However, I only use reviews as a guide, ultimatly deciding for myself if it works with my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 as I wish and expect it to. Quite frankky, I almost passed due to the low approval score, as it's personally the lowest score I've seen yet. That being said, I downloaded and was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked. Note the past tense use of 'work'. After using/exploring your app, I moved

Harry Chase

Before its time but keep trying Still needs lots of work. Freezes, very slow. I will try again after the next upgrade. Want to have access to local news when the paper is not delivered but this is too much bother.

Ben Nelson

Keeps getting worse somehow I don't know who is designing this, but it's just plain awful. Takes about a minute to open while completely freezing up your device, then is dreadfully slow once you get in it. Please fix it for the love of all that is good!

Cliff VanDyke

Notifications keep turning on I keep turning off notifications. Oregon Live keeps turning them back on. The notifications woke me up this morning for the last time. I've uninstalled the app.

Michael Prager

PLEASE FIX THE NOTIFICATIONS The app works fine for me on an LG G3, but the notifications are BROKEN. I have the ALL turned OFF, yet this keeps buzzing me about SPORTS events. I DON'T CARE ABOUT SPORTS. Why don't they fix this stupid thing?

John Shideler

Ads outrank content... The paper's turned into a worthless folder full of ads and the app's trying to outdo it. The non working notification control's annoying as well. Kinda tacky...

Chris P

Disabling notifications doesn't stop it On top of all the other issues with this app, I've turned off notifications but I just had a SPORTS story pop up as a "Breaking News" notification.

Bob Heath

doesn't work at all All I get is the migration page that says it is already installed.

Odie Oskarsson

Stop with the sportsball push notifications I have notifications turned off yet I still recieve timbers and duck alerts, please stop.

Ryan Nakano

Notifications keep turning on I keep turning the notifications off but it turns back on. I'm unistalling until that is fixed. They said it was fixed once before but that was untrue.

Alexandra Blodget

Please fix push notifications I had to uninstall because I get notifications even though it's turned off.

Becky H

Love the app, HATE all the push notifications of breaking sports, etc. HELP sick of notifications that won't turn off.

Kevin Haas

Notifications can't be disabled Even after disabling notifications you still get annoying traffic alerts & breaking news alerts. The notifications toggle needs to be fixed.

Tom Chewerda

Please fix notifications. I have them turned off on my Galaxy 5 but keep getting them. Push notifications at 6am when i don't want them are annoying.

Mike Keller

Notifications Notifications are off but I keep getting push notifications. Uninstalled.

Chris Lyons

SLOW New version is terrible. So slow and usually stops working.

Tony Norris

Crap This is the slowest news app on the planet. I keep hoping they will fix it. I give a try or two whenever a new update comes out. But no its still pathetic. I also get the paper delivered. They are raising the price on that in March. I will likely be dropping my subscriptions completely if this keeps up.

Chris Rawson

Worse than the website.. which is also terrible I couldn't get the comment function to work. In addition...there are ads within this app. Why not offer a version that allows ad free use? It is no easier to use nor better than the website. I am wondering why this app needs access to my multimedia files and to read my incoming calls? Time to uninstall!

Don Weston

Worse than worthless The other 1 star ratings sum it up better than I can. Don't waste your time until they fix it, which will be half past never. Bring back the old app. I'm uninstalling it. . . tired of waiting for fix.

Steve Foucher

Nothing but problems since revamp. Does like a boot loop on splash screen. Only way to stop it is to hold home, and hope I'm quick enough to hit task manager then end task....uninstalled, use to be my favorite app until these new updates.

Eugenia S

Stories of choice Is there a way to personalize the story choices on the home page? The over-abundance of nothing but sports coverage (especially college) is obnoxious.

Todd Hussey

This app is the worst The app is very slow (60-90 seconds) to load stories on initial opening. It Force Closes almost every time you use the app. It freezes up when you scroll through stories. But, you have no real choice, it's nearly the only game in town.

Adam Gray

Used to be ok, even good. Now it crashes more than half the time time I open it, and if it doesn't it's laggy and near unusable . I just don't understand why it's so bad now. Someone is getting money for this right?

Keelan Cleary

Worked great until a few weeks ago It used to be great but now I can only load the app if I first go into settings and delete all cache and local data for the app. Otherwise it just sits on the slash page.

Why have you not fixed this yet? So many problems since upgrading to the new app. Its terribly slow to respond, refuses to refresh at times, and crashes routinely.... That was what I said a month ago, and nothing seems to have been fixed yet. What a debacle.

Benjamin Kerensa

Crashes and lack of quality This is the only news app I know that doesn't support playing videos in app and crashes constantly. Seriously the app is worse than their website. They really must have the worst technology team around.

Mike Dollowitch

Rarely loads stories If it does load, it takes a long time. Usually just crashes since last update.

Sandy Poston

What happened? AWFUL! SLOW!! Someone doesn't know what they're doing. Please bring back the old app. I like sports but come on!

Kathrine White

Terrible app. Takes multiple times to even get the app to open or respond.

Fgoogal NoSignUp

great app, awful state, you've been warned

Mike Murphy

Annoying notifications I get one more notification its uninstalled forever.

Peter Wood

Won't go past the flash screen

Martin Henneke

New update The recent update ruined what was once a great app.

Steve Lund

Recent update is terrible Slow to load if it even does. Big step backwards in this update. Enough said.

Rich Watkins

Can't Open I get a hung add for seeing the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders on my S4. No Bueno. Won't open...

Jeffrey Harbaugh

So slow This app is painfully slow since the major update, and now crashes a lot. In need of a bug fix.

Aaron Gray

Its pretty terrible. Get with it already.

Tiffany Herpst

S-L-O-W This app takes a long time to open... The stories also take forever. I'm removing this app.

Spud Wegener

Doesn't open Usually won't open and glacially slow when it does.

Sokom Khem

Improved performance After I removed and reinstalled the performance improves on my LG 2. It is now acceptable. We'll see how long the improvement lasts.

Richard Hill

SLOW Very slow to open, so rarely use this app. Disappointing.

Julio Brown

Stop sending sports scores to my phone! I don't give a shi% about the Ducks or any other team, so please stop sending this "breaking news" to my phone.

Graham Rankin

Slow Very slow to load compared to other news sites. Frequently shows "no articles found" when clicking on link.

Josh Weir

Stop the annoying notifications. I don't want to get an obnoxious notification every time the stupid Oregon Ducks order a pizza. But THE NOTIFICATIONS KEEP COMING EVEN AFTER I TURNED OFF THE NOTIFICATIONS!! This is way too annoying and not worth putting up with for your tabloid news. Uninstall.

Siggy Torfason

I want to post some stories to Facebook and every time I try it opens a new window then blinks in between that window and another that looks like it's trying to open. This goes on and on and I can't stop it by backing out of it, I have to override the app and shut it down from the outside. Please fix this, it's very annoying. Thanks!

Todd Hussey

This app is the worst The app is very slow (60-90 seconds) to load stories on initial opening. It Force Closes almost every time you use the app. It freezes up when you scroll through stories. But, you have no real choice, it's nearly the only game in town.

John Shideler

Ads outrank content... The paper's turned into a worthless folder full of ads and the app's trying to outdo it. Extremely long load times that lock up the device are unacceptable. Pathetic. 5 years of failing reviews prove that the developers really don't care...

Odie Oskarsson

Embarrassing Any professional news organization would be ashamed and embarrassed to be affiliated with this app. Amateur and inferior

Tim Derby

Horrible If you can get past the slow loading, and you are lucky enough to have it not crash, you can read breaking news stories about what Marcus Mariota had for breakfast or why we should praise Intel Execs and local politicitians.

Keith Orr

The slowest loading app ever. Much easier to read OLive using web browser on my smartphone.

Sam Ko

The slowest app Very slow launch, refresh, and display stories. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Jacob Adams

Slow to respond Poorly designed. The app is very slow to respond.

A Google User

Annoying notifications I turn off the notifications, but still they come. For stupid things, like football games. If it's for the coming of the Big Earthquake, okay, but not for the latest sports scores. Why won't they turn off? Uninstalling.

Susan Stella

Worst app EVER Takes forever to load, always has issues.

Mitchell Hidalgo Nice

Reinstall regularly... It's a bit slow but works overall. Unfortunately it seems to bog down and have issues after awhile. Reinstalling seems to fix it if you have problems. Devs need to pay attention to this... or hire me to do a better job. Lol

Mark Medina

Push notification Can't disable push notifications, so I deleted the app. It won't be missed.

James Munson

Poor performance. This seems to be an older app. Their actual mobile website works much better.

nick F

Can't turn off notifications This app tells me when any little thing happens despite having notifications turned off. Worthless

Beth McCamish

Stop the notifications! I want to like this app but I have the notifications selected to off and I still get notifications! Stop it!

Phillip James

Awful! It usually just tells me that there are "no articles." This is by far the worst news app I've come across and makes it extremely difficult to read local news stories. It's slow, it crashes, and it just makes me sad.

Sokom Khem

Improved performance After I removed and reinstalled the performance improves on my LG 2. It is now acceptable. We'll see how long the improvement lasts.

Inna Dinavahi

I like it but The share on twitter button doesn't do anything. Share on facebook is even worse, it makes my phone go crazy. Please fix.

Richard Westberg

Slow, buggy Just reinstalled and still No Articles Found. This really the best you can do?

Robert Anderson

Does notifications even when unselected. Even when notifications are turned off in the settings they still pop up. Will be deleting from phone.... very disappointed on what could be a decent app.

Patrick Bolan

Useful but slow Really slow compared to other news apps. Don't like all the notifications.

Brian Sanborn

Slow! Painfully slow. I ran this app on my wife's IPad, and it was fast and smooth. Obviously they don't care about their Android customers.

A Google User

Slower than molasses in Alaska outdoors in January since upgrade. Improve load speed before other enhancements.

Tom Lohkamp

Not reliable Very slow and buggy. Frequently crashed.

Rich Siegel

No longer terrible The latest version is significantly faster than before. I'm not saying it's fast but instead of being infuriatingly slow it is now merely annoyingly slow. It also features the same clunky layout as always.

Brian Sanborn

Much Improved I rated the old version and now that they have updated the app, it works so much better. Works fast and smooth. Painfully slow. I ran this app on my wife's IPad, and it was fast and smooth. Obviously they don't care about their Android customers.

Norm Cimon

Could be better This one is mundane, with an interface that is somewhat clunky. It does have a lot of the content from the news desk, but it could be better organized and displayed.

Steve Foucher

Better late than never So glad you finally updated this. Can't stand the other news apps so much I just dealt with the old buggy version of this one.

Sokom Khem

Improved performance The app is performing much quicker than it had been in the last few weeks, I like the fact that I can get to articles quickly so I could enjoy reading about my favorite teams. Go Ducks, Timbers and Blazers.

Doug Wicks

Not able improvement New version loads faster. Headlines still lean towards national enquirer, tho ...

Finally, got it right You have finally got a version that works and loads right. I was so frustrated with the last version I quit using it

Good clean app with minimal advertising Aside from the app consistently losing my preferences, it works great. I like that it's easy to move between story and comments on said story. Solid B

Mike Dollowitch

Huge improvement Seems to run well now. No issues so far.

Miron Vislocky

It does what's expected of it. Loads very slow. Otherwise works good

David Jones

Meh Slow and still crashes on my Note 4.

Norman Bohms

Oregonian review This app works much better now. The articles are very good, I enjoy reading oregonlive!

James McKeehan

So much better than old one, still not much content as compared to other sites

L A Calkins

New & Improved Quick, easy access to top stories. Functions much better on android than previous version.

trey compton

Works Hey it gives me the news what more should I ask of it

Robert Short

Improved load time App opens within a few seconds, which is a dramatic improvement from the past.

Warren Smith

I live in Eastern Oregon. This App is the best way to find out what is going on in the state.

Frank Peters

Large app, how come? Fav local news app, but why is it a GB?

Stephen Hamilton

Bleak and slow to load

K Le

I like the latest update The speed is vastly improved. Thanks

Robin Whitsitt

I read this app daily I love it it's better then the news on tv

Dave Harrison

Good Great content, can be slow performing.

Rebecca Friesen

Faster So much better now that it loads faster!

Curt Arthur

Solid Easy to find what you want EXCEPT outdoors

Ray Hughes

Local Flavor of Portland,.... Reflective of the heart beat of Portland.

Tim Ebel

Finally reasonable load time!

After all that…nothing?

A bitch followed the 2009 Legislative Session in Missouri closely. I’m pretty damned disgusted that prevention legislation was ignored by the leadership even though my home city of St. Louis leads the nation in certain sexually transmitted infections…and I’m beyond disgusted that the legislature failed to address the thousands of Missourians, many of them children, without healthcare coverage…oh, and this bitch is also fired up that the autism insurance bill was treated like a curiosity rather than the serious policy that it is.

But session ended with one possible sorta-achievement – the extension of unemployment benefits for out of work Missourians.

Or so we thought.

It seems that legislators talked themselves out of qualifying for federal stimulus funds.

Well, actually they wrote themselves out of it.

Pause…sip coffee…continue.

To be accurate, they wrote out of work Missourians out of it.

The U.S. Department of Labor says that legislation passed on the final day of session contains wording that makes Missouri ineligible for federal stimulus funds…and as a result the extension of unemployment benefits ain’t gonna happen.

I know, I know…you’re thinking WTF?

After a session of missed opportunities and public displays of the wrong priorities, now we find out that one of the few sorta-accomplishments of this session was fubar before the ink was dry?

The fuck-up centers on the leaderships obsession with not allowing those stimulus funds to stimulate lest it make the stimulus plan look good. Republicans in the legislature spent this session killing legislation that would require our state government to commit to funding policies on our own after next year. On the surface that seems logical…don’t make promises our checkbook might not be able to keep. But peel back the scab on that shit and it stinks to high heaven. The leadership and their minions took the intellectually lazy route…refused to even try to work the problem or get creative…and settled on leaving the masses fucked instead of identifying areas of waste and shifting funds where residents need them to go.

And don’t sleep…Missourians need funds to go toward healthcare coverage (prevention is cheaper that treating serious illness) and the extension of unemployment benefits (‘cause Lawd knows the leadership didn’t exactly step up to the plate regarding job creation).

Note – trollish knaves currently writing comments that assume a bitch is unemployed and uninsured should cease and return to their usual rant about black women not knowing anything. A bitch is employed (thank the gods) and has coverage (thank them again)…but only a fool ignores the impact others in crisis has on her community and I’m no fool. Okay, you can go back to being assholes now.

Where was I?

Oh yes!

The leadership added some language to the bill that would have the extension automatically expire once the federal stimulus funds were used up.

If only being broke automatically expired when unemployment benefits run out...sigh.

And that language is what the feds are saying makes Missouri ineligible for stimulus funds.

So, it looks like the leadership wrote Missourians out of that extension just when we need it most.

No healthcare coverage…in the midst of a flu outbreak that makes the point of why we need to cover everyone.

No ethics reform…even as rumors fly about the FBI getting their investigation on.

No prevention legislation…even though it would reduce STD infection rates and the number of unplanned pregnancies in the state.

And no extension of unemployment benefits…even though Missourians are still struggling to find work.

But hey, they did manage to ban beer bongs on the river.

Miss Trudy said...

Knowing how politicians think, they probasbly see a direct correlation between beer bongs in the river, unemployment, and high incidence of STD and pregnancy. Hence, the logic goes, ban the beer bongs by the river and you fix everthing else. Oh, so simple! How can you not appreciate it?

bgk said...

So... is this another case of Welfare "queens" with the mythical 1000 children so they can stay on welfare are ruining the Healthcare in America?

Anonymous said...

Seriously, how do these people continue to get into office. How is it that while they are campaigning the body politic can not see the emperor has no clothes?

libhom said...

I hope the unemployed people throw the bums out.

Annals of Internal Medicine: Stroke Topic Collection en-us Tue, 17 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT Mon, 16 Jan 2017 17:48:46 GMT Silverchair A Tale of Two Trials: Reconciling Differences in Results by Exploring Heterogeneous Treatment Effects Tue, 03 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT Kaul S. Basu and coworkers present an innovative approach using microsimulation modeling to explore heterogeneous treatment effects. This approach is used to explain the divergent results observed in 3 large, well-designed, rigorously conducted randomized clinical trials examining blood pressure goals for hypertension treatment. The editorialist discusses how this approach will help to inform comparative effectiveness research and precision medicine. Benefits and Harms of Intensive Blood Pressure Treatment in Adults Aged 60 Years or Older A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Tue, 17 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT Weiss J, Freeman M, Low A, et al.
Background:
Recent guidelines recommend a systolic blood pressure (SBP) goal of less than 150 mm Hg for adults aged 60 years or older, but the balance of benefits and harms is unclear in light of newer evidence.
Purpose:
To systematically review the effects of more versus less intensive BP control in older adults.
Data Sources:
Multiple databases through January 2015 and MEDLINE to September 2016.
Study Selection:
21 randomized, controlled trials comparing BP targets or treatment intensity, and 3 observational studies that assessed harms.
Data Extraction:
Two investigators extracted data, assessed study quality, and graded the evidence using published criteria.
Data Synthesis:
Nine trials provided high-strength evidence that BP control to less than 150/90 mm Hg reduces mortality (relative risk [RR], 0.90 [95% CI, 0.83 to 0.98]), cardiac events (RR, 0.77 [CI, 0.68 to 0.89]), and stroke (RR, 0.74 [CI, 0.65 to 0.84]). Six trials yielded low- to moderate-strength evidence that lower targets (≤140/85 mm Hg) are associated with marginally significant decreases in cardiac events (RR, 0.82 [CI, 0.64 to 1.00]) and stroke (RR, 0.79 [CI, 0.59 to 0.99]) and nonsignificantly fewer deaths (RR, 0.86 [CI, 0.69 to 1.06]). Low- to moderate-strength evidence showed that lower BP targets do not increase falls or cognitive impairment.
Limitation:
Data relevant to frail elderly adults and the effect of multimorbidity are limited.
Conclusion:
Treatment to at least current guideline standards for BP (<150/90 mm Hg) substantially improves health outcomes in older adults. There is less consistent evidence, largely from 1 trial targeting SBP less than 120 mm Hg, that lower BP targets are beneficial for high-risk patients. Lower BP targets did not increase falls or cognitive decline but are associated with hypotension, syncope, and greater medication burden.

The Ham of God

Yesterday afternoon I ran some errands, and when they were done I discovered to my joy that I had another 20 minutes before I had to pick up the kids from daycare.

I'm right around the corner from the library, I thought. Perfect!

I quickly perused the paperback bestseller shelves, where I occasionally find some gold among the straw. This time I found Anne Lamott's Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith.

I scanned the first chapter ("Ham of God") and was caught by this on page 8, where Anne is talking to her friend Father Tom, a Jesuit priest, about her feelings of hopelessness about the Iraq war:

"I want to know what to do. Where we even start."

"We start by being kind to ourselves. We breathe, we eat. We remember that God is present wherever people suffer. God's here with us when we're miserable, and God is there in Iraq. The suffering of innocent people draws God close to them. Kids hit by U.S. bombs are not abandoned by God."

"Well, it sure looks like they were," I said. "It sure looks that way to their parents."

"It also looked like Christ had been abandoned on the cross. It looked like a win for the Romans."

"How do we help? How do we not lose our minds?"

"You take care of the suffering."

"I can't get to Iraq."

"There are folks who are miserable here."
I remembered Charlotte's recent posts about AIDS in South Africa. Whatever your beliefs about Iraq, AIDS, or any kind of human suffering, these are wise words. Do what you can, right at home, one person at a time.

Lamott's chapter goes on to describe how later that day she won a free ham (which she dislikes) at the grocery store, and how she was able to pass it on to a friend she met outside the store who was short on money for food. Instant karma, perhaps?

Friday Frolics - What do your Kisses taste like?

Let's do a little kissing quiz this week. Trust me. It's not what you think it is - I think..

Your Kisses Taste Like Oranges

You are cool headed in all aspects of your life, including kissing. You don't rush into things.

You make sure to put others before yourself. You're an excellent kisser, and you don't kiss and tell.

You are always smiling. You're optimistic and cheerful, even when your kisses are rebuffed.

You and a raspberry kisser will experience true romantic bliss, but a peach kisser will be too much drama for your taste!

Google I/O 2014 Recap: Android, Knowledge Graph and more

Back in April, I was lucky enough to get a partner invite for Google I/O. Coupled with a stay at the Startup House, a co-working / housing space (ideal when you’re jet-lagged at 4AM and want a proper desk to code a few meters away from your bed) located only one black away from Moscone, I’m very glad I’ve made the trip to my first I/O!

Google I/O after hours party in Yerba Buena Gardens
Google I/O after hours party in Yerba Buena Gardens

Here are a few highlights, in a conference which clearly confirmed the role of (1) Android as a global OS, and (2) the Knowledge Graph as a hub for everything AI-related, at Google and beyond.

Most of the videos of the sessions are online on Google Developers’ YouTube channel, and I’ve tried as much as possible to link to the relevant ones below.

Android – One OS to rule them all

While I’m not (yet) a full-time Android user (let alone a developer), it’s now clear that it goes far beyond a phone-only OS. With the introduction of AndroidWear, AndroidCar, and AndroidTV during the keynote, the OS is now the core of all hardware-related initiatives at Google.

With common SDKs and API to interact with, wherever the OS is used, this makes the life of developers much easier when building cross-devices products. Relying on a single ecosystem is also of importance when building an engineering team, and I guess it may also be an decision factor for small start-ups when deciding which market to tackle.

Last but not least, the improvements in the OS itself, including a new runtime – see “What’s new in Android“, makes it even faster then before, a plus for embedded systems of all sorts.

Google’s Knowledge Graph – From search to voice controls and app indexing

So far, Google’s Knowledge Graph has been used mostly in search-related projects, including the snippets you can see when searching for entities such as places, people, music and movies on Google. Several sessions-cases showed how it is now used as a central hub for AI-related projects and products.

Search results getting richer with Google's Knowledge Graph
Search results getting richer with Google’s Knowledge Graph

Using Android TV, you can ask your TV (literally, by talking to your Android watch) to suggest an Oscar-awarded movie from 2000, or who’s casting in X or Y – all answers coming from the Knowledge Graph.  In the first case, results can be bought from Google play, another nice piece of integration between the different offerings from the company.

Another interesting case is the use if the Knowledge Graph to connect the dots between previously isolated silos, namely mobile apps. One of the common issue with those apps is their lack of links and outside-world connections, in spite of recent efforts such as Facebook-supported App Links. In the session “The Future of Apps and Search“, a combination of app indexing, JSON-LD and Knowledge Graph was presented to directly link into an app from, e.g., Google’s search results or autocompletion-search in Android, as well as launching actions from search results – e.g. playing a track in Spotify, a use-case announced a few days before I/O – using the new actions I’ve recently blogged about.

As an early JSON-LD enthusiast, and working on related technologies for almost a decade, you can’t imagine how excited I was when I saw this in something used by million of users! Let’s bet that’s only the beginning, and that new verticals will follow.

Google Cloud and DataFlow – Smarter, faster, easier

I’ve been recently using Google Cloud infrastructure in several projects (from GAE to Google Prediction – watch “Predicting the future with the Google Cloud Platform” for more about their ML infrastructure), and a few announcements made my day here:

  • Cloud Debugger – making DevOps and back-engineers more efficient when debugging code. You can now add breakpoints, including conditional ones (e.g. user=X) in your live app, without jeopardising its speed, and most important, without having to stop/restart/deploy anything. This means that code can be debugged on production servers with live data, and  without patching / tracing multiple boxes,  all in the comfort of your browser. A kind of New Relic on steroids, so big thumbs-up here!
  • Dataflow –  aiming to replace MapReduce, with a special focus on stream processing and scalability. A convincing use-case during the keynote was Twitter sentiment analysis, showing not only the simplicity of the interface, but also the orchestration of the services through the API. The service is not open yet, but you can check “Big data, the Cloud Way: Accelerated and simplified” to know more. I’m looking forward to try it on a few stream processing for content discovery!

The Web platform – Polymer, WebRTC and HTML5

Whether you’re accessing if from your desktop, phone, or now, your watch or Glass, there’s only one Web. And far from just websites, it can be used as a platform to build powerful apps, as many session focused on:

  • Polymer / Web components – or how to build your own HTML tags for quick prototyping and distribution. As an AngularJS user, I was immediately convinced by its two-way data bindings. Polymer (“Polymer and the Web Components revolution“) adds another elegant layer to the Web, allowing to define tags that are then rendered as full components. Imagine a <my-recent-tracks> tag that will automatically render the top-tracks you’ve played on all your favorite music platforms. Well, that’s exactly what Polymer can do;
  • HTML5 – the Web as a platform, from different perspectives. In particular, “HTML5 everywhere: How and why YouTube uses the Web platform” was a great intro talk to understand the benefits of HTML5 from different points of view: UX, scalability, cross-platform. Recommended to anyone who still have doubts about it.
  • WebRTC – building real-time systems in your browser. “Making music mobile with the Web” not only showed how to transform your Macbook into a Marshall JCM2000 with Soundtrap, but also how WebRTC was used for real-time collaborative music creation, with very low latency.

Wearables – It’s all about the UX

Then, a big part of the conference: Glass and smart watches. I often thought that most of the effort to build those was put in the hardware and OS side of things (reducing footprint, optimising battery life, gathering sensor data, etc.).

While some talks clearly focused on this (with some nice hacks such as back-camera for biking in “Innovate with the Glass Platform“, and football-related ones), I was impressed by “Designing for wearables“, which focused on the role of UX to make sure wearables are devices that let you connect, and not interfere with the world as a phone does.

Paris Saint-Germain represents at I/O 2014!

Showing some early prototypes and discussing how and why Glass / wear notifications are so minimalistic, this was an inspiring session for anyone interested in UX and products. A must-watch for developers and entrepreneurs aiming to  build appealing user-facing products, whether it’s for wearables or more standard devices.

Google+ – Or how Google missed the spot

I may have missed it from other sessions, but none of the ones I’ve been to mentioned Google+. I was not expecting much about it at I/O since the departure of Vic Gundotra, and Sergey Brin’s statements, as well as a plus-free agenda. Still, that was a big surprise, as it would have been a no-brainer use-case in many talks.

Using dataflow to process streams from your social circles? Not a word about it. Using Glass to see what your friends are posting? Nope. Alerts on your Google TV to binge watch some TV-show together with your friends home 5000km away? Neither.

G+ could have been an awesome social network – or should I say a social platform. Combined with Freebase / Knowledge Graph, linking people to things they like, possibilities would be endless in terms of profiling, discovery and more. Yet, with a poor API, a lack of portability that could have differentiate it from its main competitors from Day 1 (imagine PubSubHubbub / WebSocket as an easy way to integrate G+ into other platforms), I’m sad they’ve missed the spot.

Up to 2015?

Overall, a great conference, in spite of the queue mismatch that forced me to miss about 30min of the keynote, queueing twice around the Moscone, a real shame when you travel 8000km for such an event.

I particularly enjoyed the focus around the 3D topics (Design, Develop, Distribute), the diversity of talks (watch the awesome “Robotics in a new world – Presented by Women Techmakers“), and the accessibility of the DevRel team between sessions at the Developer sandboxes.

Looking forward to the next one!

Hi Rhona.
I posted the news about my friends dog, Kip, being attacked. I also could not find the original post when I put in the title 'Dog attack in Grove Park'.
You will be able to find it if you put my name into the search box.
I spoke to the dog warden's dept today to find out what is happening regarding this dog and they told me they were still looking into it as they did not have the owners address, I promptly gave it to them - again - and also told them that this dog is still being taken out without a muzzle. I have also contacted the 'Status Dog Unit', which is run by the Police, re:banned/dangerous dogs, to see if they can help push things along, I'm still waiting for them to return my call.

Variations in prescribing information in 26 countries

An international comparative study1 on regulatory medicines information conducted in 2002 by WHO, the Mario Negri Research Institute (Milan, Italy), the Institut Catal de Farmacologia, Universitat Aut noma (Barcelona, Spain) and the International Society of Drug Bulletins (Paris, France), showed that medicines recommendations used by prescribers and patients vary considerably between countries. Disagreement was found even within a single country, when written materials from different brands of the same drug were compared. The discrepancies arise because national regulatory authorities do not or may not have the resources to conduct full and systematic assessments of data from clinical studies and post-marketing surveillance, before approving prescribing information materials. The discrepancies are worrying because they can mislead prescribers and patients regarding medicines use, and researchers seeking to compare medicines use patterns across countries.

1 International Comparative Study on Drug Information (ICSODI) Collaborative Group. Prescribing information in 26 countries: a comparative study. European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, in press.

Summaries of product characteristics, package inserts and data sheets were assessed for 26 countries for ciprofloxacin, fluoxetine and nifedipine. These three medicines were chosen because they were among the top 30 medicines in terms of global sales in 2000, and cover three therapeutic areas of worldwide relevance in terms of mortality and morbidity. For the four variables considered - indications, dosage range in adults, side-effects and cautions - an information checklist was created, using the British National Formulary (BNF).

Out of 26 countries, 11 had information that matched BNF indications for nifedipine. For ciprofloxacin, materials from 3 countries did not match the dose range recommended by the BNF, while for nifedipine and fluoxetine, materials from 7 countries and 9 countries respectively did not match. Also for ciprofloxacin and fluoxetine, none of the materials from the various countries reported all major side-effects listed in the BNF. None of the materials from any of the countries reported all the cautions included in the BNF for nifedipine.

Arts and Entertainment your connection to The Boston Globe
Project Runway
Nina Garcia, Michael Kors, and Heidi Klum gaze at contestants during the new Bravo reality show, "Project Runway." (Photo Courtesy Of Bravo)

'Project Runway' is a fabulous take on reality TV

Donald Trump is the big cheese on ''The Apprentice," and a few other rich men -- Richard Branson, Mark Cuban -- have tried to make gouda as reality TV ringleaders. But none of them can compare to Heidi Klum, the German-born supermodel, Victoria's Secret icon, and ruthless ruler of the global runway.

As the mentor-dominatrix of a reality contest called ''Project Runway," she's awesomely expressionless while leading 12 designers through an ''Apprentice"-like competition. Gazing up at her adoringly, the jittery wannabes wait for her pronouncement on their fashionability -- either ''You're in" or ''You're out." And she delivers the verdicts in the final minutes of each episode with the poise, unflappability, and compassion of a steel rod.

To borrow from Heidi, this new Bravo series is definitely in, if you find amusement in fierce fashionistas and extravagant clothing that only skeletal models will ever wear. Premiering tonight at 10, the lighthearted ''Project Runway" deserves a less stuffy title, something like ''Glamourama" or ''Dress You Up, Dress You Down." Its 12 contestants are colorful types who aren't trying to veil fiendish strategies so much as drape flattering veils. They're a lot easier to watch than most reality players -- Jay, for instance, who is going for his dream after working for a porn website. Between his post-Flintstonian outfits and fellow contestant Austin's tasteful way with lip gloss and mascara, there's an eyeful of fun to be had.

Sure, ''Project Runway" includes the requisite humiliations. ''I look at the fur," famous designer Michael Kors says to one hopeful, ''and right away I'm in Prada-land." Ouch!

Like most reality shows, ''Project Runway," which will give its winner prizes, including an Elle layout and $100,000, is a hybrid of others that came before it. Along with its similarities to ''The Apprentice," it borrows the judges panel (including Kors) from ''American Idol," the shared living quarters from ''The Real World," and the weekly immunity from ''Survivor." And it takes its overall tone not only from ''America's Next Top Model" but from ''Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," another Bravo show. Whether or not any of the players are gay, straight, bisexual, or transgendered, everyone on the show -- from consultant Tim Gunn down to teary young player Starr -- shares the Fab Five's love of making others look good.

Not surprising, like all the shows it borrows from, ''Project Runway" doubles as a product-placement vehicle. Clothes and stores are mentioned, featured, recommended. It's a shameless reality of TV right now, and not just of reality TV, as even wholesome scripted series such as NBC's ''American Dreams" devise plot twists involving this car company and that soup brand. Viewers need to wear their consumer armor all the time and remember they're watching paid advertising buried within -- and not separate from -- their entertainment.

And entertainment there is in ''Project Runway," as tonight's challenge has the players creating a sexy dress for a night on the town -- with materials purchased at a supermarket. By the end of the hour, we see fashions -- all of them meant to be taken seriously -- made from potato chips, shower curtains, feather dusters, lawn chairs, and cotton swabs. Of the endless and tedious stream of new reality shows hitting TV every week, ''Project Runway" is the only one with a dress made of corn husks.

Home Price Declines Softening

Share |
(Sacramento, CA)
Thursday, November 5, 2009
That’s according to new figures out Thursday.

Alex Villacorta is a statistician with the research firm Clear Capital. He says it’s good news for Sacramento…which was one of the first regions in the country to see prices plummet.
“It started to decline in 2005 which was a full year before the national picture and it’s been in double-digit declines ever since that time. And so with the most recent price gains for Sacramento this particular summer and even now into the fall have erased some of those losses.”
The Sacramento market’s yearly decline in October was just 9.7%.
Meanwhile, the price gains seen this past summer are expected to soften as we get into the winter months…traditionally a time when housing sales slowdown.

Engaging Millennials in the Workforce

May 22, 2012

Photo by David Bohrer / © U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Small business owners face a frustrating generation gap when it comes to working with the Millennial generation--those born roughly during the 1980s. At America's Small Business Summit 2012, they learned that they need to embrace them and incorporate them into the cultures of their businesses for future success.

Jennifer Kushell, President of Young & Successful Media and founder of YSN.com, told attendees that the world is getting younger. The average age of the world population is 25, and one billion young people are entering the workforce worldwide.

These people going through their first ten years after graduating college, called "emerging adulthood" by Kushell, are the people employers now have to manage. Members of the audience told stories about bored young employees playing on Facebook and who needed to be handheld through simple tasks.

Kushell told the audience that that Millennials have "a lot of entitlement issues," and they have "a huge fear of failure." Their challenge is, "They know they have a lot of potential but they don't know what to do with it."

Yet they have strengths that small businesses can tap. They are adept at using new technology--see Mark Zuckerberg and the rise of Facebook. Millennials like to find creative solutions to problems, and being always connected makes them perfect for social network marketing.

Kushell offered a few tips for small businesses to better integrate Millennials into their business culture:

  • Coach and mentor them.
  • Don't micromanage them. Instead, give them the freedom and flexibility on a project.
  • Assign them projects that have an impact.
  • Give them clear paths to career success and opportunities for them to learn and grow.

This new generation of workers have a lot to offer, according to Kushell. They can make businesses more innovative when it comes to technology, marketing, communications, and business strategy. It may be frustrating transitioning them into the workplace, but they want to contribute and make a difference.

Bright Ideas

Never has preschool been so terrifying. The new Artattack Theater Ensemble presents Eric Coble's Bright Ideas, poking fun at yuppie parenting through probably the most enthusiastic interpretation of Macbeth youll ever see. Shakespeare purists beware: The entire set is made of childrens furniture, and the backdrop is a bright and colorful playroom wall with cute jungle animals. Genevra and Josh will do anything to get their 3-year-old Mac into the best preschool in town. Im sure you can guess what happens next: murder, mayhem, and one nightmare of a kids birthday party. In the teeny-tiny Walrus Theatre above CHAC, the overbearing parents become overbearing to the audience, to the point of discomfort. The cast delivers larger-than-life performances, but in a space this small, everyone seems to be overdoing it. DYLAN SLADKY 8 p.m. Thurs.-Sat., 2 p.m. Sun. Ends Nov. 9.

Thursdays-Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 p.m. Starts: Oct. 16. Continues through Nov. 9, 2008

Movies That Are Better Than the Book

I lived a lonely geeky existence once upon a time. When I heard Lord of the Rings was coming to the theaters, I wanted to go, but had no one to go with. A friend of my sister-in-law said he would go with me, but ONLY if I read all three Lord of the Rings books ahead of time. I love fantasy books. I had been meaning to read them anyway. I enjoyed The Hobbit as a kid, even did a report on it in high school. I was looking forward to it. No problem.

Ugh. It took me an entire summer, and half a dozen books as “breaks” to get through the trilogy. Tolkien’s epic prose was foreign to my modern fantasy reader’s ears. How long before I realized Sauramon and Sauron were different characters? (That explained a lot…) And speaking of names, holy crap! So many look almost exactly alike. Where was the storyteller’s voice from The Hobbit? I felt like I was slogging through a textbook of mythology.

I did get through it; the final book grabbed my attention as characters and plot points came together. Seeing the movie, fresh from the books made me have quite a number of opinions. But the biggest one was this: THANK YOU PETER JACKSON! I was so much more entertained watching the movies than reading the books. And stories are foremost about entertainment.

Whoa, there! Back up a minute before you pounce on me. Before anyone says anything about stories being about learning and transmitting cultural ideas, think back on most of your classroom experience. If the teacher didn’t entertain you in some way, you didn’t learn anything. All storytellers, no matter what the form, MUST entertain or every bit of learning is for naught. As a storyteller myself I am desperate to share the worlds in my head, but if I can’t entertain while I’m doing it, no one will listen. Tolkien failed as an entertainer for me, regardless of the fact that his world and characters were so rich. Jackson had me enthralled, my imagination sparked after the house lights came on, and I even obsessed about the character of Frodo (or maybe it was just Elijah Wood…)

The key there is what format engaged me. Fairy tales, books and comics have all been redone as movies over the years with varying success for different people. Here are two more movies that I found better than the book:

Pedestrian killed in collision identified as San Bruno resident

A 57-year-old man who was killed while crossing a street in San Bruno on Sunday has been identified as Bernabe Lactawen, according to the San Francisco Medical Examiner’s Office.

Police said Lactawen, a San Bruno resident, was crossing against a red light on El Camino Real at Jenevein Avenue at about 3:45 p.m. Sunday when a vehicle struck him.

He was transported to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his injuries a short time later, police said.

Police investigators said they do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor in the collision and the driver of the vehicle was not arrested or cited.
