If you are single without children, wed with or without youngsters, after that you may take into consideration the dimension as well as layout. Think about these actions to direct you in brainstorming and also preparing for your future sanctuary.
Step 1. Seek professional competence. It is always better to seek advice from some experts to lead you in preparation and also making your home due to the fact that these professionals can make aid you optimize as well as use the area readily available. Constantly share your plans and also state of mind with the designer; you might collaborate with them hand in hand to make certain that your passions are well included and also adhered to in your home plan. You can likewise compose your mind with your other half or your partner with regards to the style as well as raw materials to make use of before you look for assistance from the specialists.
Action 2. The size of your family members. Whether you are single, involved, or married with kids, a lot of households desire for more room.

Club Rank:  83
Easts Hockey Club has a proud tradition of representing the Eastern Suburbs and playing in the Sydney Hockey League for over 30 years.
We are a growing and social hockey club, competitive on all fronts, and have enjoyed tremendous success across the club over the past few seasons.
We have a significant ex-pat membership from the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Canada and New Zealand who combine with local Australian talent to form a mix unique in Sydney.
In joining Easts you will find a friendly atmosphere in a real club environment. We pride ourselves on being competitive but also a social and welcoming club. There are numerous social events throughout the year, as well as regular drinks after games and social events for both players and friends & family.
You will also find a competitive club. East's 1st, 3rd and 4th teams finished as Minor Premiers in 2012, with the 3rd and 4th teams achieving promotion. This was backed up in 2013 with both the 1st and 3rds reaching the Grand Final and the 3rds again achieving promotion. In 2014 the 1sts did the double and backed up Minor Premiers with the BIG ONE, a Grand Final win – Major Premiers! Success again filtered down the club with the 2nds winning the Minor Premiers and making the finals series along with the 3rds.
In 2015, 4 out of our 5 teams made the end of season finals series, with just the 2nd team narrowly missing out by finishing one spot outside qualification. A series of solid finals performances followed, with the 5th team narrowly losing the Grand Final in the closing minutes.
Our teams will be playing in the following leagues for the 2017 season:
1s: PL3 (very strong standard)
2s: PL4 (solid standard)
3s: SL2 (a good mix of solid hockey but a bit more 'social')
4s: SL6 (definitely more social – a perfect place for beginners and old hands alike)
Game times: Saturday with a start between 12.30 and 6.30pm
The Women's Team is part of the Sydney East Hockey Association (SEHA). We currently have four teams and over 70 players total. We have a team in each grade within the league, and encourage players to join from absolute beginners to high-level players and everything in between.
Training is Monday nights in Kyeemagh, and we can always find someone to help you get there if you don't have a car!
Games are usually at Kyeemagh or Daceyville (occasionally Moorebank or Sutherland). 1st Grade plays on Saturdays, 2's, 3's and 4's play on Sundays.
1st Grade - our highest level. Requires a very strong commitment both to the club and personal fitness.
2nd Grade - generally trains with first grade. High playing level, very competitive. Our 2018 team won the minor premiership.
3rd Grade - as with the men's club, it's a solid standard of hockey and a competitive atmosphere but with a bit more of a social side. Our 3's are our resident baking champions.
4th Grade - Very social and friendly -fantastic for beginners or those returning to hockey after a bit of a hiatus. 4's have made finals the last several years.
Each year the women's club put on a range of social events, and hold fundraisers to keep fees low.

The Roomba is an early use case for cloud robotics
iRobot is making a play for the smart home, and it's using a cutting-edge technology to do so.
Nicole Laskowski, News Director
Here's a dirty little secret about the state of today's smart home. Intelligent devices may indeed save a homeowner time, manual labor and money, but it will require Ph.D.-level tech skills to make that happen. At least that's according to Chris Jones, the vice president of technology at iRobot, a consumer robot company in Bedford, Mass.
"The challenge [of the smart home] is it requires the consumer to essentially program a lot of sensors and devices in that home to deliver those experiences, something that's beyond what the average consumer is going to want to do," Jones said.
The company is aiming to clear that barrier with the help of its signature consumer product, the Roomba. The robot vacuum cleaner has undergone a significant transformation since its 2002 debut. Modern features include Wi-Fi connectivity, sensors and onboard computation, all of which are used to clean floors more efficiently. But those same features have turned a dumb machine into an autonomous mobile sensor platform, Jones explained, positioning it as a potential conductor for the smart home and providing an early use case for cloud robotics.
Roomba, post IoT-enabled
With the rollout of the 900 series model in 2015, the Roomba became a full-fledged member of the internet of things. A Wi-Fi enabled Roomba meant that customers could control the device with a mobile application. In its latest iteration, debuted in March, the Roomba is able to create a 2D blueprint of your home using sensors and onboard computation to keep track of where it's been and how far away it is from its docking station. And that mapping prowess, Jones said, opens up a whole new career for the 15-year-old robot: a programmer for the smart home.
Jones used motion activated lighting as an example of where the Roomba can be of assistance. "If you want lighting that turns on when you're in the room and off when you leave you, there's still a burden on the consumer to logically program that," he said. Not to mention programming rules that establish which motion sensor turns on which light.
With its map-building capabilities, the Roomba can automate some of that programming by identifying the location of the rooms in conjunction with their smart devices. "It's easy then to automate the rules and say, 'OK. I can see that motion sensor one is in the same room as lights five, six and seven, because I have a physical layout of the home,'" Jones said. "I can automate that process now."
An example of Roomba's clean map report.
Cloud robotics is key
One of the underlying technologies that will enable the transition from autonomous vacuum cleaner to smart home orchestrator is cloud robotics. "It's all about understanding how a physical robot can be enhanced or improved by leveraging resources that are available through some kind of a connected service," Jones said.
The Roomba's maps are sent to the cloud where they're cleaned up and made presentable to customers. As they access additional processing power in the cloud, Roombas are an example of cloud robotics in action, according to Jones.
Other applications include accessing the cloud for additional data. Self-driving cars, for example, could connect to weather.com and factor weather data into their decisions. Jones said cloud robotics could also be used to enable a robot network, where data is collected by physical robots and disseminated to other robots through a cloud service. This example of cloud robotics is sometimes referred to as "fleet learning" -- as in fast and across a fleet -- because it enables a group of connected robots to automatically acquire new information from each other. If, say, a self-driving car came upon an unplanned traffic delay, it could share the information with other self-driving cars in the area, thereby diverting traffic. A fleet of robots could also collectively gather much larger data sets needed to advance the performance of machine learning algorithms than a single robot could.
But fleet learning and cloud robotics in general is still a fairly academic topic, according to Jones. The Roomba is an early example of a product priced for the consumer market that leverages the cutting-edge technology to open up a new source of revenue for iRobot. "The robots don't have enormous amounts of processing or memory onboard the platform itself. So it makes sense for us to understand how we can leverage additional resources off of the robot hardware itself."

A Low-Budget Traveller's Guide to Spain's Sierra Nevada
Snow-capped peaks in Spain's Sierra Nevada | © Antonio Morales García / WikiCommons
From beautiful snow capped peaks, to stunning hiking and biking routes that are free for all, to cheap, rustic accommodation and affordable, hearty mountain meals, the Sierra Nevada in Andalucia is a budget traveller's dream. Check out our guide for the best way to enjoy Spain's national park on a shoe string.
So you've heard Sierra Nevada – Spain's largest national park – is great for skiing. With its high peaks, white washed villages and draw-dropping vistas, you wouldn't be wrong. But while the price tag might sway you, there are plenty of activities that offer draw-dropping vistas, rustic meals and beautiful places to stay without breaking the bank.
It's possible to immerse yourself in the beauty of Andalusia's Sierra Nevada without spending a cent. The park's rugged wildernesses are home to many biking and trekking tracks, to suit all levels of ability and which can be enjoyed free of charge.
For mountain biking, head to the Cumbres Verdes area of the park, found near the town of La Zubia a few kilometres outside Granada. This is a relatively low section of the Sierra offering circular tracks of varying lengths (from a few kilometres to 50+), all of which boast spectacular views of the park's untamed terrain. For more demanding rides, head to Hoya de la Mora, a parking and refreshment point located at 2,500 metres; from here, the highest paved road in Europe takes you almost to the 3,396-metre-high peak of Veleta, mainland Spain's third-highest mountain.

There's also some great trekking to be enjoyed in the Cumbres Verdes, especially along the track that leads to the top of the 2,079-metre Trevenque. The most demanding hike in the Sierra Nevada, though, is to the summit of the 3,478-metre Mount Mulhacén, mainland Spain's highest mountain. You can start from Trevélez or Capileira in the Alpujarra region, or from Hoya de la Mora outside Granada. Either way, the views from 'The Roof of Spain' will make every step worthwhile, and it won't cost you anything.
Top tip: if you're walking or cycling in a snowy Sierra on a sunny day (i.e. between November–May/June), a high-quality pair of UV-proof sunglasses is a must: the strength of the sun, combined with reflected glare, can be dangerous otherwise.
If you want to spread your hiking or biking over a couple of days in the Sierra Nevada, you needn't spend much on overnight accommodation: there are some superb catered refuges at high altitudes that offer a bed, dinner, breakfast and a picnic for between 20 and 30 euros a night (booking in advance recommended).
A bed for the night... sort of: Refugio de la Caldera is at 3,050 metres © Por los caminos de Málaga / WikiCommons
For a two-day conquest of Mulhacén, book yourself into the Refugio Poquiera, which offers 85 beds and hot meals at 2,500 metres. In the north of the park, Refugio Postero Alto provides similar comfort levels at 1,900 metres. It's also possible, if you don't mind roughing it for a night, to take free shelter in the park's more primitive huts, which usually just house a few wooden bunks. Refugio de la Carihuela and Refugio de la Caldera, both at 3,000+ metres, are in good condition. Most towns and villages in the Sierra Nevada also offer at least a couple of inexpensive hostels to stay in.
The best way to eat and drink on a budget in the Sierra Nevada is to prepare a picnic before you set off exploring. Particularly spectacular places to enjoy an open-air lunch are the summits of the park's two highest peaks, Mulhacén and Veleta: at these dizzying altitudes, surrounded by fellow trekkers also refuelling, you can take in some of the most dramatic and humbling views in Spain. Pack an energy bar for dessert so you've a full tank for the return hike.

Visiting the Alpujarra
The Alpujarra is a region studded with gorgeous whitewashed villages that extends along the Sierra Nevada's southern edge. Must-visits are Capileira, Bubión and Pampaneira – three settlements nestled close together in the stunning Poqueira valley that can be explored at minimal cost. Indeed, wandering these villages' tiny, flower-filled streets, glimpsing the Sierra's snow-capped giants in gaps between the pretty houses is an unforgettable experience that won't cost you anything. Eating and drinking in this area is cheap, too: rarely will a beer set you back more than a couple of euros and set menus are usually about 10 euros per person.

Q: Tools for automatic deployment of JavaScript, CSS and HTML? I am looking for a solution to automate my project workflow a bit.
Let's say I have the following folder structure:
project
---- less
-------- project.less
---- css
-------- project.min.css
---- js
-------- project.js
-------- project.min.js
---- index.html
Are there any tools (Mac) out there so I can manage this project so that:

*

*project.js is used while building the project but only project.min.js gets deployed

*again, project.less is used while building the project but only project.min.css gets deployed

Or do I manually need to change paths and minify files?

A: You could probably write something using Capistrano, which while Rails focussed can be used to deploy anything. I have used it for PHP projects, for example.
Another option would be to base your project off the HTML5 boiler plate (which uses ant) as this will build/concatenate stuff for you and could be extended to deploy just what you need.
I think I would use some local scripts and Capistrano.

Shovel Knight Showdown, a platform fighting game featuring all that is Shovel Knight will be Treasure Trove's final addition. Shovel Knight Showdown will be made available as a free update for all versions of Treasure Trove, but will not be available at all on the portable systems like Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita. It'll also be made into a standalone game sometime in the future. No exact release dates have been given as of yet.
This upcoming update is shoveled full of new content as well as the old like returning characters and stages dug up from Shovel Knight's rich history. One-on-one duels, frantic 4 player free-for-alls, cooperative team battles against the AI or your buddies in modes such as Gem Clash, Showdown, and more. Multiplayer is exclusively local and can accommodate 1-4 players. There's even a fleshed out Story Mode featuring a multistage journey tailored for each character. This journey may have a relaxing minigame or two as well as a new final encounter.
Should be fun to conspire against an unsuspecting buddy in a free-for-all.
Over 16 characters ranging from both heroic knights to villainous knights will be made playable. Most of these knights will be playable for the first time ever in fact. The roster includes Shovel Knight, Shield Knight, Black Knight, The Echantress and every single knight of the Order of No Quarter. Master your preferred knight in the fully-featured practice mode, a newly implemented feature.
Stages of old inspired by Shovel Knight's characters and locale will be present, as too will a plethora of brand new stages. And accompanying these retro-fitted stages we have new musical tracks composed by Jake "Virt" Kaufman.

Migrants to share stories
BY TAMARA GASSER
IF YOU migrated to Australia in recent decades and still live or work in the Hurstville municipality, then now is the time to share your story.
Hurstville City Library, Museum and Gallery and the Powerhouse Museum's NSW Migration Heritage Centre are calling for expressions of interest for former migrants to take part in a new multimedia exhibition, which will feature stories and keepsakes that trigger memories about migrating and settling in Australia.
Andrea Fernandes from the NSW Migration Heritage Centre said the stories would be recorded in a way to explain what life was like in their former homeland, their journey to Australia and the challenges faced when settling.
"We want community stories to be recorded in a way that those special items former migrants keep are used to tell their stories and explain their situations," Ms Fernandes said.
The Hurstville community migration stories will be displayed online in the form of text, video clips, photographs from the past and special display items.
The NSW Migration Heritage Centre has 150 community stories online and will include the Hurstville stories in its collection.
"In peoples' expressions of interest we ask them to mention if they had some involvement in major events in world history; it is not essential but it would be of interest for us to know," Ms Fernandes said.
"For example, if someone was one of the students who was in Australia during the violence at Tiananmen Square and their stay was extended by Bob Hawke then that would be of interest."
Other examples include the Vietnam War or unrest in Sri Lanka or the Middle East.
"It is important that we capture these stories while we can," Ms Fernandes said.
"It is a way of telling stories from the past for present and future generations."
Hurstville City Library, Museum and Gallery recognises the importance of documenting and preserving community stories, including those belonging to migrants.
"It is important that stories which are meaningful to the Hurstville community be kept," curator Jessica Allen said.
If you migrated to Australia after 1974 and live or work in the Hurstville municipality you can express your interest in taking part on 9330 6444.

On behalf of the Council of India Australians he conducted a Lucky Raffle for Tickets for two to the CIA's Australia Day dinner function on Sunday 29th Jan 2012. Lina D'silva picked the lucky Ticket and picked our 2011 Captain Alwyn Henriques as the Lucky winner.
Carl D'Silva was installed as 2012 Captain by Sports Director Roy Do Rosario and Outgoing captain Alwyn Henriques. Roy thanked everyone for gracing the event and supporting the Golf wing.
After a delicious Lunch catered by Mother India, the group posed for a Photography session which drew the curtains for yet another memorable Golf Annual day Luncheon.
Blessed Joseph Vaz, an Asian Apostle
During the night of November 26, 1938, Quiteria Costa from Aldona, in Goa, was hemorrhaging badly at Medical College Hospital, in what is now the state capital Panjim.
Although she was only seven months pregnant, the surgeon treating her decided on performing a caesarian section the next day even though he believed the mother and child had only a one percent chance of survival.
The family prayed for a miracle through the intercession of the first Goan-born Venerable Servant of Goa Fr Joseph Vaz (1651-1711).
The next morning, the hemorrhaging suddenly stopped and the premature baby boy was born alive, and named Cosme.
In 1991 that event was the object of a canonical investigation.
On July 6, 1993, Pope John Paul II declared: "It is ascertained that a miracle was worked by God through the intercession of Venerable Servant of God Joseph Vaz, namely the rapid and perfect cure of Mrs Costa of hemorrhage in delivery labor."
Joseph Vaz was declared Blessed; Costa lived into her 90s; and Cosme became a priest in the Missionary Society of St Francis Xavier, at Pilar in Goa. Today, he is an eminent Church historian and an authority on Blessed Joseph Vaz.
Born almost 100 years after the death of St Francis Xavier, whose body rests in the Jesuit Church of Bom Jesu (Good Jesus), Joseph Vaz studied for the priesthood at Goa's Dominican Academy and at the Jesuit College of St Paul, where Francis Xavier had been rector more than a century earlier. He was ordained in 1676 and joined the Oratorian Order of priests founded by St Philip Neri.
A Portuguese priest traveling from what is now Singapore to Goa happened to meet some Catholics in Colombo. He heard their pitiful story of abandonment and persecution under the Dutch.
The Portuguese had colonized Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1505 after kicking out Muslim traders from Colombo and gaining exclusive control over all commercial activities.
There they established the Catholic Church as a perfect replica of the Church in Europe to reinforce, mainly through religion, their economic hegemony. But in 1637, Dutch colonists conquered Ceylon. They were Calvinists and hostile to the Catholic Church. By 1658, they had wiped out the Catholic Church.
After listening to this Portuguese priest's story in the Cathedral Church of Old Goa, and about the sad plight of the Catholics in Ceylon, Fr Joseph Vaz felt the call of God to rescue these suffering Catholics.
Just after Easter in 1687, he and his faithful servant John, disguised as coolies (menial workers), sailed for Jaffna, in Ceylon.
Even after being shipwrecked and falling seriously ill with dysentery, he began secretly to search out Catholics. In disguise and with a rosary around his neck, he looked out for people who showed any sign of recognition of the rosary. Soon after, on June 23, 1687, he secretly celebrated the first Mass on the island for 29 years.
During the 24 years of his apostolate in Ceylon, the first nine without any other priest on the whole island, and with only John as his companion, he single-handedly revived the Catholic faith.
All the while, he was hunted by the Dutch who suspected him of being a Portuguese spy.
In fact, the Decree of the Heroic Virtues of Fr Joseph Vaz announced in May 1989, emphasized his extraordinary and supernatural fortitude – facing physical danger from Dutch persecutors and from the wild beasts in the jungle where he hid from his pursuers and through which he traveled from one place to another.
The decree compares him to St Paul especially in II Cor.4:8-10. "We are in difficulties on all sides but never cornered; we see no answer to our problems, but never despair; we have been persecuted, but never deserted; knocked down but never killed; always, wherever we may be, we carry with us in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus, may always be seen in our body".
The decree has five other references to St Paul that bear similarities to the life of Blessed Joseph Vaz.
Blessed Joseph Vaz adopted a unique missionary method during those dark years when he kept the faith of Catholics alive, which is why he is now known as the "Apostle of Sri Lanka."
The renowned Sri Lankan Jesuit Church historian S.G Pereira wrote: "The second foundation of the Church in Ceylon by Fr Joseph Vaz and his Oratorians from Goa, was not in the manner of the first, a ready-made organization imported from abroad and imposed on all who hearkened to the Gospel of Christ, but a Church adapted in externals to the conditions of the country and to the genius of the people."
Without any missiological training outside of his native Goa and in spite of his own Western form of training, Fr Joseph Vaz grasped the central principle of missiology. He delved into the culture of those he was going to evangelize.
Whenever there was a sufficient number of Catholics, they built a chapel. In each chapel there was a "Muppu" or catechist or at least an "Annavi" or sacristan to look after the building, the celebration of festivals and the teaching of religious doctrine. They prepared the ground for the missionary, organized prayers in in the houses of the sick and at funerals. A Muppu was chosen not merely for his piety, but for the influence and prestige he wielded in a village. An Annavi was chosen for his zeal, piety and industry. These helpers received no remuneration as they held their own lucrative jobs.
Fr R.H. Lesser in his book on Joseph Vaz, India's First and Greatest Missionary concluded: "When he died, after 24 years work, under God, entirely due to the work of this indomitable little man and the priests he had formed, there were 70,000 practicing Catholics, served by catechists whom he had trained."
The "miracle child" Fr Cosme Costa concludes: "We can affirm without any exaggeration that the bold venture of 'Sinhalizing the Church of Ceylon', carried on with apostolic fervor and supernatural prudence, gives Fr Joseph Vaz the right to be numbered among the greatest pioneers of the methods of adaptation in Asia: Mateo Ricci, Robert de Nobili, St John Britto, Constanzo Beschi."
Eminent missiologist Fr Pierre Charles pays him a moving tribute.
"It is no exaggeration – it is merely a repetition of the unanimous testimony of his contemporaries – to call him the perfect model of an apostle."

Kitchen medicines get popular with NRIs to cure ailments
Yudhvir Rana, TNN | Jan 16, 2012, 02.55PM IST
AMRITSAR: A large number of Indians residing in UK , Canada and US are now fast moving towards kitchen medicines to cure lifestyle diseases and are seeking expert opinion for various ailments including diabetes, hypertension, mood and eating disorders, mental illness largely caused due to work stress, dietary patterns and weakening family bonds.
"Stress and stress induced disorders coupled with poor dietary habits were like a slow poison spreading among Indians who have settled in these countries" said AS Mahal, a herbalist while talking to TOI upon return from UK where he had gone to deliver a talk on healthy eating habits and curing common ailments with the use of kitchen medicines. Mahal is well known name among Indians living abroad for his radio talks on healthy dietary habits and use of kitchen medicines to ward off diseases.
"I don't prescribe medicines but simply advise people to change their eating habits and use the traditional condiments for healing common ailments rather than rushing to doctors for quick relief" he said.
Harpreet Gill, a UK resident told TOI over the phone from London that most Indians become victim to various disorders due to sudden climatic changes and dietary habits and start taking symptomatic treatment but with their prolonged use they develop resistance to these medicines and continue to suffer.
"So, now we look back to our roots and simple treatments with the help of stuff in the kitchen, and it is doing wonders," said Gill.
Mahal said that kitchen herbs were not only important in cuisine but for healing purpose also. Their aromas regulate the flow of vital energies throughout the body, many of them help to improve digestion, others have antiseptic values.
He said if wisely used common kitchen spices could keep majority diseases at bay.
"There are large number of Indians who want to take the herbal route to health even knowing that it could take some time to cure but still they want to know how turmeric, ginger, cinnamon , black pepper, clove , nutmeg could help them keep healthy " said Mahal.
Shelza Malhotra, another UK resident said she imports herbs from India for her store in London. "Recently the demand for Indian spices and herbs have increased due to their therapeutic use" she said.
Alphonso to cost cheaper in 2012
By: Saurabh Katkurwar Date: 2012-01-15 Place: Mumbai
The Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) market received its first yield of Alphonso mangoes last week. Each carton was sold for a whopping Rs 10,000 each — 10 times the price a carton fetches in peak season (March to June).
Sakharam Pansare, a trader at APMC market said, "We received two cartons of the first yield of Alphonso mangoes from a farmer in the Konkan belt on Thursday which were bought by a retailer. Last year we sold the first yield carton for Rs 8,000."
This doesn't imply that you will spend an exorbitant amount to eat Alphonso mangoes this year. "The first yield of mangoes costs a lot because gifting Alphonso mangoes, especially when there is no supply in the market, is a trend. The rates will go down in February as the supply becomes regular," said Vijay Dhobale, a mango grower.
"Last year, mangoes were priced between Rs1,000 to 1,500 per carton in May. This year, mangoes will cost between Rs 900 to 1,200 per carton," Dhobale said. Experts believe that the nip in the air will lead to a good yeild, but warn against a drop in quality if the temperature does not rise in the next few days.

McCorvey (formerly known as Roe) v. Hill [5th Circuit]
Bernard Hibbitts | JURIST Staff
September 14, 2004 04:06:00 pm
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, September 14, 2004. Read the opinion here [PDF]. Excerpt:
There are two conceivable bases for concluding that McCorvey does not present a live case or controversy — lack of standing and mootness. As the Supreme Court explained in Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services (TOC), Inc., 528 U.S. 167, 180, 120 S. Ct. 693, 704, 145 L.Ed. 2d 610 (2000), standing and mootness are related, but distinct, concepts. We may pretermit the question of standing if we find a case clearly moot. See, e.g., Nomi v. Regents of Univ. of Minn., 5 F.3d 332, 334 (8th Cir. 1993).
The mootness doctrine "ensures that the litigant's interest in the outcome continues to exist throughout the life of the lawsuit . . . including the pendency of the appeal." Cook v. Colgate, 992 F.2d 17, 19 (2d Cir. 1993) (citing United States Parole Comm'n v. Geraghty, 445 U.S. 388, 395, 100 S. Ct. 1202, 1209 (1980)) (other citations omitted); see also Rocky v. King, 900 F.2d 864, 866 (5th Cir. 1990) (controversy must remain "live" throughout the litigation process). Mootness is the fatal issue for McCorvey.
"In general, a matter is moot for Article III purposes if the issues presented are no longer live or the parties lack a legally cognizable interest in the outcome." Sierra Club v. Glickman, 156 F.3d 606, 619 (5th Cir. 1998). Suits regarding the constitutionality of statutes become moot once the statute is repealed. See Diffenderfer v. Cent. Baptist Church, 404 U.S. 412, 414-15, 92 S. Ct. 574, 575-76 (1972); see also Fed'n of Adver. Indus. Executives, Inc. v. City of Chicago, 326 F.3d 924, 930 (7th Cir. 2003) ("[W]e, along with all the circuits to address the issue, have interpreted Supreme Court precedent to support the rule that repeal of a contested ordinance moots a plaintiff's injunction request, absent evidence that the City plans to or already has reenacted the challenged law or one substantially similar."); Weeks v. Connick, 733 F. Supp. 1036, 1037 (E.D. La. 1990).
Under Texas law, statutes may be repealed expressly or by implication. See Gordon v. Lake, 356 S.W.2d 138, 139 (Tex. 1962). The Texas statutes that criminalized abortion (former Penal Code Articles 1191, 1192, 1193, 1194 and 1196) and were at issue in Roe have, at least, been repealed by implication. Currently, Texas regulates abortion in a number of ways. For example, a comprehensive set of civil regulations governs the availability of abortions for minors. See TEX. FAM. CODE §§ 33.002-011 (2000).
Texas also regulates the practices and procedures of abortion clinics through its Public Health and Safety Code. See TEX. HEALTH & SAFETY CODE §§ 245.001-022; see also Women's Med. Center of Northwest Houston v. Bell, 248 F.3d 411, 414-16 (5th Cir. 2001) (discussing various portions of the Texas Abortion Facility License and Reporting Act). Furthermore, Texas regulates the availability of state-funded abortions. See 25 TEX. ADMIN. CODE § 29.1121 (2002); see also Bell v. Low Income Women of Tex., 95 S.W.3d 253, 256 (Tex. 2002).
These regulatory provisions cannot be harmonized with provisions that purport to criminalize abortion. There is no way to enforce both sets of laws; the current regulations are intended to form a comprehensive scheme — not an addendum to the criminal statutes struck down in Roe. As the court stated in Weeks, a strikingly similar case, "it is clearly inconsistent to provide in one statute that abortions are permissible if set guidelines are followed and in another provide that abortions are criminally prohibited." 733 F. Supp. at 1038. Thus, because the statutes declared unconstitutional in Roe have been repealed, McCorvey's 60(b) motion is moot.

Where to get the best Pho in Seattle? What are the best Vietnamese Restaurants Seattle? When it's raining, a big bowl of pho is many things. It always hits the spot. It is always a good time for Pho Noodles. There are so many best Vietnamese restaurants in Seattle. Everywhere you go seems to be the next best pho in Seattle. The following restaurants list below are my favorites. They are tasty and hits the spot in their own particular way. Restaurants listed below are listed at random.
If you are looking for a Vietnamese restaurants with something more than just a bowl of Pho, than Green Leaf will soon become your old favorite. The restaurant is tiny and perhaps underwhelming, but they sure make a mean Banh Xeo savoury crepe stuffed with shrimp. If you are tired from pho noodles, Green Leaf has a good Hu Tieu My Tho clear vermicelli noodles option with a clear pork rib broth, seafood and minced pork.
The broth from bone marrow and knucklebones at Ba Bar is clear but powerful. The menus has meaty ingredients and a variety of classic Vietnamese dishes. Be sure to try their crafted cocktails like the Moscow Mule and fresh baked pastries. Ba Bar even has macarons, pate chaud to pineapple upsidedown cakes and housemade jams to go. No wonder Ba Bar is open late night until 4am on Friday and Saturdays.
When you see the same dish on every table, you order that dish. Bun Bo Hue is what Hoang Lan specializes in. And a damn job it does. The bowl is filled with pork hock, congealed pork blood, thinly sliced beef. The complex broth has a secret ingredient of fresh pineapples to lend the sweet acidity flavor profiles. And remember, Cash Only.
One of the most amazing garlic butter chicken wings. Lightly batter and flash fried with minced garlic, white onions, and green onions. Crunchy and shatters with each bite for a juicy meat center. This Chinese – Vietnamese restaurant also offers braised duck noodle soup marinated with Chinese herbs and spices. Faux pho? No problem.
Pho on a boat. There is no menus except a sign on the wall that has a good selection of steak, fatty brisket, tripe and meatballs. The broth is pretty awesome too with a little sweetness. Always full of fresh herbs like basil and jalapenos. All for $8.
Friendly staff with minimal wait times. Order from crowd favorites like chicken wings with pepper sauce, egg rolls and a hot bowl of seafood pho. Generous amount of seafood in a light flavorful broth. Try the tofu spring rolls served with peanut sauce. Lightly seasoned and not too salty. Vegetarians, it's all about options right?
Reasonable priced and a good variety on menu including Banh Mi Vietnamese sandwiches, pho noodles, spring rolls and broken rice. Thanh Vi is located in the University District next to the University of Washington. Be sure to spot plenty of students. Service is quick and friendly. They make a mean bowl of Vegetarian pho!
Hard to beat an eight dollar deal with good quality meat and flavorful broth. Generous portions and piles of tender meat. Brisket! Tendon! Flank! Go ahead and drink all the soup, you won't be thirsty! We love the Bun Bo Hue spicy beef Vietnamese round noodles here. We hope you do also.

Ewart: Oil price rout dominates energy sector
Stephen Ewart, Calgary Herald
Oil price plunge dominated energy sector in 2014.	Matthew Brown / AP
The chill of winter hasn't saved Canada's booming oil and gas industry from "a good sweating" as the year comes to an end.
The top story in the Canadian oil and gas industry in 2014 wasn't even on the radar in mid-June when West Texas Intermediate crude was trading for more than $107 US a barrel. Then, with little warning, the price of oil plunged nearly 50 per cent in six months.
The far-reaching implications of the oil price decline — from spending in the oilpatch and the falling price of gasoline to the value of the dollar and the performance of the stock market — shows up repeatedly in my choices for Top 10 stories in the energy sector in Canada from the past year.
While few would have predicted oil prices would be among the top stories of the year six months ago, others on the list — notably the endless pipeline debates and delays — make an annual appearance.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries had a return to prominence in 2014 that coincided with the oil price rout. One school of thought is Saudi Arabia is subjecting non-OPEC producers — primarily booming North America — and political rivals like Russia and Iran to "a good sweating." It is a tactic first used by legendary U.S. oilman John Rockefeller at the dawn of the petroleum age 150 years ago to cut prices to undermine higher cost competitors.
The oil price shock certainly sent a chill through what's been an overheated oil and gas sector in Canada at times over the past decade:
1. Oil price shock — Version 2014
The collapse of the price of West Texas Intermediate crude to under $55 US a barrel — its lowest level in five years — was attributed to surging global supply largely from the fracking-inspired boom in North America coming face to face with waning demand as China and other economies slowed.
The gravy train of $100 oil in recent years was back to being a roller-coaster — on the way down.
In November, OPEC said it wouldn't reduce production to revive prices. Producers in Canada reacted swiftly and announced deep spending cuts in 2015 as some lowered dividend payments and quietly ordered hiring freezes. Capital spending has averaged almost $67 billion in the last three years, but some analysts predict it could decline by 20 per cent.
2. Rout for oil stocks, petro currency
Prime Minister Stephen Harper champions Canada as an "energy superpower" and the impact of the oil and gas industry on the economy extends to Bay Street and the Bank of Canada. As U.S. stock markets hit an all-time high this year, the Toronto Stock Exchange moved higher but was hampered by its oil and gas index dropping by about 25 per cent from its high point.
The decline in oil prices certainly reinforced the perception of the Canadian dollar as largely a petro currency with the loonie falling below 86 cents versus the U.S. dollar this year. It traded at par as recently as February 2013. Lower oil prices cut into the revenues for several provinces and Ottawa but they do provide relief to consumers and the beleaguered manufacturing sector.
3. Oil pipelines still in limbo
The federal government approved Enbridge's $7.9-billion Northern Gateway in June — pending the fulfilment of 209 conditions from the National Energy Board — but as is seemingly the case with every major oil pipeline project its future is decidedly uncertain.
As with TransCanada's Keystone XL in the U.S. in recent years, and still unresolved, pipelines from TransCanada's new Energy East to Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain expansion to Enbridge's Line 9 reversal are bogged down by the regulatory process, political opposition or protesters. Energy East would transport 1.1 million barrels a day of mostly oilsands crude as far as New Brunswick but just months after announcing the project, TransCanada halted work at a terminal in Quebec over concern for beluga whale habitat. Meanwhile, oil by rail continues to grow at record rates.
4. Talisman saga comes to to end
After months of speculation, a 22-year odyssey for Talisman Energy came to an end in December with a $15.1 billion takeover by Spanish oil giant Repsol. With CEO Jim Buckee at the helm, Talisman grew rapidly though takeovers and operations around the globe as it often ventured into geopolitical hot spots — most notably Sudan. The company struggled to retain a vision for its far-flung assets after its Oxford-educated chief executive retired in 2007.
With declining production and the share price under pressure, Hal Kvisle moved to the CEO role from the board of directors in 2012 to enhance shareholder value but with falling oil prices Talisman eventually sold for a bargain price. Meanwhile, once-troubled gas producer Encana continued its turnaround, spinning out PrairieSky Royalty for more than $4.2 billion.
5. Slowdown in the oilsands
It's been a year of slowing momentum in northern Alberta's long-booming oilsands with companies including Suncor Energy, Total, Statoil and Shell cited rising labour and construction costs, declining profitability and other concerns as they deferred developments. Most notable was France's Total and partner Suncor revealing in May they would put off development of the $11-billion Joslyn mine. The two companies had previously shelved the Voyageur Upgrader project in 2012 but have said Joslyn may re-emerge as a bigger project down the road.
Oilsands production has grown by approximately 180,000 barrels a day annually in recent years to more than 2 million barrels a day. Numerous expansions to existing developments are proceeding on schedule in 2015 but that remarkable growth rate could be undermined going forward by high costs, falling prices and repeated delays to pipelines.
6. Record oil production and growing exports
For all the concern about access to markets for Canadian crude — and the steep price discounts at times due to pipeline bottlenecks — a record 3.9 million barrels oil a day was produced in Canada. Oil exports to the United States also exceeded three million barrels a day for the first time in October.
Shipments of crude from Western Canada also made its way beyond its traditional U.S. Midwest market to refiners on the Gulf Coast in increasing volumes. This year Canadian oil moved in a number of test shipments to refiners in Europe and the fast-growing oil market in Asia. The federal government was able to convince European lawmakers not to label oilsands crude as "dirty oil" in 2014 as Ottawa argued the move would unfairly stigmatize Canadian crude.
7. Reality taxes B.C.'s LNG dreams
The B.C. government scaled back its much-criticized taxation plans for its nascent liquefied natural gas in October in an effort to kick-start the potential boom in LNG development in the province. Premier Christy Clark has touted a looming economic windfall and promised "the cleanest LNG in the world" and with 18 projects on the drawing board, optimism should be high.
However, the warnings this year from the likes of leading multinational LNG such as Petronas and Chevron about project economics and delayed development timelines in B.C. are putting the potential boom in doubt. The oil price plunge has also threatened the economic rationale for some of projects as companies including Apache give up their positions in B.C. LNG as others, such as Australia's Woodside Petroleum, come in.
8. Alberta's political chaos
If the oil price slide was unforeseen, what transpired in Alberta politics over the past year was unfathomable. A year ago, Alison Redford was premier, Danielle Smith was the opposition leader and Jim Prentice was a banker. After the political musical chairs ended, Prentice is now premier, Smith has jumped ship to the Tory dynasty and the disgraced Redford has quit politics.
Prentice reiterated Redford's pledge to make access to market for oilsands crude job one but must now address a government revenue shortfall he's estimated will be up to $7 billion. He's delayed, for a second time, the update to Alberta's GHG policy and carbon levy until June. With a sales tax or higher oil and gas royalties seemingly out of the question, spending cuts are the likely option to address the shortfall.
9. Sparks fly over Berkshire's purchase of AltaLink
Nancy Southern was the most notable objector to the $3.2-billion sale of electricity transmission company AltaLink to Berkshire Hathaway Energy. The chief executive for ATCO Group campaigned for months to have government regulators stop foreign entities from owning "critical infrastructure" in Canada.
AltaLink — which had been owned by troubled Montreal-based engineering firm SNC-Lavalin Group — supplies electricity to about 85 per cent of Albertans and would be part of Berkshire Hathaway, U.S. billionaire Warren Buffett's company. Despite the public concerns, the Alberta Utilities Commission followed an earlier ruling by the federal governments and in November approved the AltaLink sale after concluding consumers would be "at least no worse off" after the deal. Meanwhile, electricity demand in Alberta hit record highs in July.
10. China corruption probe reaches Canada
An anti-corruption probe in China found its way into the Canadian oil and gas sector with executives from PetroChina — which had links to firms including Athabasca Oil and Brion Energy — were called back home and placed under arrest last summer. In comparison, accounting irregularities raised at Penn West Petroleum last summer were run-of-the-mill compared to Beijing hauling corporate executives off to jail.
Overall, the Chinese investment boom in Canada's oil and gas industry has cooled considerably after the CNOOC takeover of Nexen in 2012 prompted Ottawa to place restrictions in state-owned companies purchasing oilsands producers. The fall-off was so dramatic, and with investment waning, in October the Alberta government called on Ottawa to take another look at foreign investment rules.
It's definitely been a tumultuous year in the oilpatch.
Doom and gloom are the predominant sentiments directing the oil and gas sector at the moment. However, it's worth noting the countless doomsayers are predicting a prolonged oil price slump will undermine the industry but few foresaw a collapse in prices was just around the corner in June.
What 2015 will hold for the sector, like every year, is anybody's guess.

Preoperative optimization of multi-organ failure following acute myocardial infarction and ischemic mitral regurgitation by placement of a transthoracic intra-aortic balloon pump
Ramanan Umakanthan, Robert Dubose, John G. Byrne, Rashid M. Ahmad
Background: The management of acute myocardial infarction with resultant acute ischemic mitral regurgitation and acute multi-organ failure can prove to be a very challenging scenario. The presence of concomitant vascular disease can only serve to further compromise the complexity of the situation. We demonstrate a new indication for the transthoracic intra-aortic balloon pump as a preoperative means of unloading the heart and improving clinical outcome in such high-risk patients with severe vascular disease. Methods: We present the case of a 75-year-old man with a history of severe vascular disease who was transferred emergently to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with an acute inferolateral wall myocardial infarction resulting in severe acute ischemic mitral regurgitation and acute multiorgan failure. He presented with shock liver (serum glutamicoxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT] of 958), renal failure (creatinine of 3.0), and respiratory failure with a pH of 7.18. Emergent cardiac catheterization revealed 100% occlusion of the left circumfl ex artery as well as severe ileofemoral disease. The advanced nature of his ileofemoral disease was such that the arterial access catheter occluded the right femoral artery. The duration of time that the catheter was in the artery led to transient limb ischemia with an elevation of his creatine phosphokinase (CPK) to 10,809. Balloon angioplasty followed by stent placement was successfully performed, which restored fl ow to the coronary vessel. Given the grave nature of the patient's condition, we were very concerned that immediate operative intervention for his condition would entail prohibitively high risk. In fact, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk adjusted mortality was calculated to be 56%. In order to minimize patient mortality and morbidity, it was critical to help restore perfusion and organ recovery. Therefore, we decided that the chances for this patient's survival would improve if his condition could be optimized by placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump before undergoing surgery. Given the limb ischemia following arterial sheath insertion, femoral placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump was not an option. Placement of the intra-aortic balloon pump was attempted via a left subclavian artery cutdown, but was not successful. Therefore, a sternotomy was performed, and we placed a transthoracic intra-aortic balloon pump in order to stabilize the patient's hemodynamics and allow for organ recovery. Results: The patient showed immediate improvement, and 4 days later, the multi-organ failure resolved and he successfully underwent mitral valve replacement. The patient was ultimately discharged to a local rehabilitation facility in satisfactory condition. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the utility of a transthoracic intra-aortic balloon pump as a preoperative means of stabilization in very high risk patients with severe peripheral vascular disease in whom the conventional approaches are not possible.

N2 - Background: The management of acute myocardial infarction with resultant acute ischemic mitral regurgitation and acute multi-organ failure can prove to be a very challenging scenario. The presence of concomitant vascular disease can only serve to further compromise the complexity of the situation. We demonstrate a new indication for the transthoracic intra-aortic balloon pump as a preoperative means of unloading the heart and improving clinical outcome in such high-risk patients with severe vascular disease. Methods: We present the case of a 75-year-old man with a history of severe vascular disease who was transferred emergently to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with an acute inferolateral wall myocardial infarction resulting in severe acute ischemic mitral regurgitation and acute multiorgan failure. He presented with shock liver (serum glutamicoxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT] of 958), renal failure (creatinine of 3.0), and respiratory failure with a pH of 7.18. Emergent cardiac catheterization revealed 100% occlusion of the left circumfl ex artery as well as severe ileofemoral disease. The advanced nature of his ileofemoral disease was such that the arterial access catheter occluded the right femoral artery. The duration of time that the catheter was in the artery led to transient limb ischemia with an elevation of his creatine phosphokinase (CPK) to 10,809. Balloon angioplasty followed by stent placement was successfully performed, which restored fl ow to the coronary vessel. Given the grave nature of the patient's condition, we were very concerned that immediate operative intervention for his condition would entail prohibitively high risk. In fact, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk adjusted mortality was calculated to be 56%. In order to minimize patient mortality and morbidity, it was critical to help restore perfusion and organ recovery. Therefore, we decided that the chances for this patient's survival would improve if his condition could be optimized by placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump before undergoing surgery. Given the limb ischemia following arterial sheath insertion, femoral placement of an intra-aortic balloon pump was not an option. Placement of the intra-aortic balloon pump was attempted via a left subclavian artery cutdown, but was not successful.

PRO-CTCAE provides the cancer research community a electronic platform to improve the quality and efficiency of developing, administering, completing, managing, and analyzing symptom questionnaires used for patient reporting.


My family and I have been in this amazing country for 30 years now. I've realized that not everyone gets the chance to move here, settle down some roots, and live out their American Dream. It really is a privilege. As a small business owner who has benefited from the opportunity to live and thrive here, I want to pay it forward in a special way. I'm launching "Brand It Forward", a pro-bono initiative to brand and help market small businesses that have been started or are run by immigrants. If you or someone you know would greatly benefit from a rebrand, new website, or design & marketing help, please fill out the form below by 5pm August 10th. I'll be choosing one submission to overhaul, all for free. It's my way of reaching a hand back and paying it forward.
Yes, you can nominate yourself!
My family's first photo in America, that's tiny me in the middle!

The York Conservation Trust is a trust that buys and restores significant historical buildings in York, England, and then makes them available to rent.

It was originally an initiative of former Lord Mayor John Bowes Morrell, who started acquiring old buildings when he bought Sir Thomas Herbert's House on Pavement in 1943. Together with his brother, Cuthbert, Morrell set up the Ings Property Company, a not-for-profit exercise in practical conservation. In 1976 this company was given charitable status and evolved into York Conservation Trust.

The Trust owns properties throughout York in streets such as Walmgate, Micklegate, Low Ousegate, Goodramgate, Gillygate and Stonegate. Among its portfolio are The Red House in Duncombe Place, the York Assembly Rooms in Blake Street and the De Grey Rooms next to York Theatre Royal and leased to them. The Trust also bought Fairfax House from York Civic Trust and rents it back to them.  Recent acquisitions include Bowes Morrell House, Walmgate, and 56 Bootham, better known as York Register Office. The Trust was unable to acquire Morrell's Victorian mansion, Burton Croft, before its demolition by developers.

York Conservation Trust has published for sale a book York Conservation Trust - Historical Properties Walking Guide. This lists the properties it owns, gives historical and descriptive information and encourages walking around York to view them.

All of the trustees are related to John Bowes Morrell; three of them are his grandsons, and six his great grandchildren.

Martin finds himself in a situation where he no longer believes in the evangelical worldview (and that's putting it mildly) but he is unable to extract himself from the social circles that he finds himself in, or unable to express his true beliefs to those around him. Many listeners may relate.

Q: Is a terminating forward slash technically appropriate when specifying a URL? Most web browsers will allow the user to specify:
https://superuser.com/
or
https://superuser.com
But which is technically appropriate, and why?

A: Forward slash in URI/URL specification is a separator between the host (or host+port) part and the path.
It is not strictly enforced if the path is not present I the URL.
The first definition in RFC 1738 states that in case of an URL use for HTML:

An HTTP URL takes the form:
 http://<host>:<port>/<path>?<searchpart>

[ ]

If neither  nor  is present, the "/"
may also be omitted.

Later RFC 3986 provides a more detailed guidance towards treating the URL with and without the trailing slash as equivalent:

because the "http" scheme [ ] defines an empty path to be equivalent to "/", the following four URIs are equivalent:
 http://example.com
 http://example.com/
 http://example.com:/
 http://example.com:80/

Following the RFC guidelines, including the / is adhering to the strict form, while omitting it is allowed.

Take the prescribed pain medications as prescribed.
The swelling that is normally expected is usually proportional to the surgery involved. Swelling around the mouth, cheeks, eyes and sides of the face is not uncommon. This is the body's normal reaction to surgery and eventual repair. The swelling will not become apparent until the day following surgery and will not reach its maximum until two to three days post-operatively. However, the swelling may be minimized by the immediate use of ice packs. Two plastic bags filled with ice, or ice packs should be applied to the sides of the face where surgery was performed. The ice packs should be left on continuously while you are awake. After 36 hours, ice has minimal beneficial effect. If swelling or jaw stiffness has persisted for several days, there is no cause for alarm. This is a normal reaction to surgery. 24-36 hours following surgery, the application of moist heat to the sides of the face is beneficial in reducing the size of the swelling.
For moderate pain, one or two tablets of Tylenol or Extra Strength Tylenol may be taken every three to four hours or ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) two to four 200 mg tablets may be taken every six to eight hours.
In the event of nausea and/or vomiting following surgery, do not take anything by mouth for at least an hour including the prescribed medicine. You should then sip on water, tea, or ginger ale. You should sip slowly over a 15-minute period. When the nausea subsides, you can begin taking solid foods and the prescribed medicine.
If numbness of the lip, chin, or tongue occurs there is no cause for alarm. As stated before surgery, this is usually temporary in nature. You should be aware that if your lip or tongue is numb, you could bite it and not feel the sensation. So be careful. Call the Doctors of Great River if you have any questions.
You should be careful going from the lying down position to standing. You were not able to eat or drink prior to surgery. Taking pain medications can make you dizzy. You could get light headed when you suddenly stand up. Before standing up, you should sit for one minute and then get up.
Occasionally, patients may feel hard projections in the mouth with their tongue. They are not roots; they are the bony walls, which supported the tooth. These projections usually smooth out spontaneously. If not, they can be removed by the Doctors of Great River. If the corners of your mouth are stretched, they may dry out and crack. Your lips should be kept moist with an ointment such as Vaseline.
Sutures are placed in the area of surgery to minimize post-operative bleeding and to help healing. Sometimes they become dislodged. This is no cause for alarm. Just remove the suture from your mouth and discard it. The sutures will dissolve unless otherwise instructed to have them removed approximately one week after surgery. The removal of sutures requires no anesthesia or needles. It takes only a minute or so, and there is no discomfort associated with this procedure. So it's really nothing to worry about.
Your case is individual. No two mouths are alike. Do not accept well-intended advice from friends. Discuss your problem with the persons best able to effectively help you: The Doctors of Great River or your family dentist.
A dry socket is when the blood clot gets dislodged prematurely from the tooth socket. Symptoms of pain at the surgical site and even pain to the ear may occur three to four days following surgery. Call the office if this occurs.
