The pathogenesis of ALI/ARDS involves both procoagulant and inflammatory mechanisms. Extravascular fibrin deposition in the lung is a characteristic pathologic feature of ALI/ARDS and intra-alveolar thrombi develop in the lungs of patients with ALI/ARDS. Tissue factor (TF), the trigger protein for activation of the extrinsic coagulation pathway, has a direct role in promoting these effects as indicated by the elevated levels of TF observed in plasma of ALI/ARDS patients compared to control patients with hydrostatic pulmonary edema. These higher plasma TF levels correlated with increased mortality, fewer ventilator-free days, the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation and the progression to sepsis in patients with ALI/ARDS, suggesting that systemic activation of coagulation may be clinically important in ALI/ARDS. Additionally, TF levels in pulmonary edema fluid from patients with ALI/ARDS were significantly higher than in control patients. In fact, pulmonary TF levels in patients with ALI/ARDS were found to be approximately 100-fold higher than corresponding plasma levels, suggesting an intra-alveolar source of TF. As a result, we have been interested in developing TF antagonists as a therapeutic strategy for treating ALI/ARDS and other inflammatory disorders. In an experimental E. coli sepsis-induced ALI model in non-human primates, we have shown that an anti-TF monoclonal antibody, ALT-836, could attenuate sepsis-induced abnormalities in gas exchange, pulmonary hypertension, and loss of pulmonary system compliance. The results from our pre-clinical studies prompted us to conduct a single-bolus, dose-escalating, Phase 1/2a trial followed by a 120-patient, 1:1 randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial (with the option to adjust the dosing regimen after an interim analysis of the first 60 enrolled ALI/ARDS patients). The results of the 18-patient Phase 1/2a trial and first 60 patients of the Phase 2 trial indicated that ALT-836 exhibits favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles and is well tolerated at the dose level of 0.06 mg/kg as a single bonus infusion. Analysis of the Phase 2 interim data also suggests that single-dose ALT-836 treatment provides beneficial effects to patients during the first one-two weeks of the treatment period. Thus, an independent study is warranted to examine whether the clinical and biological effects observed with single dose regimen could be extended with multiple doses. Under this SBIR Phase II Competing Renewal proposal, we intend to conduct a 90-patient, 1:1 randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial to examine the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of multi-dose administration of ALT-836 at the 0.06 mg/kg dose level in patients with sepsis-induced ALI/ARDS. Altor also has an in-licensing agreement in place with Genentech for this product and anticipates that positive clinical results from the proposed study will prompt Genentech to sponsor a large Phase 3 registration trial for regulatory approval of ALT-836 by the US FDA.
The goal of this proposal is to evaluate the clinical utility of a novel anti-tissue factor monoclonal antibody, ALT-836, for treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a 90-patient, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center Phase 2 clinical study using a multi-dose regimen. If this trial successfully achieves its clinical efficacy endpoints, ALT-836 will then be tested in a pivotal Phase 3 registration trial needed for regulatory approval in order to become the first effective pharmaceutical treatment approved for ALI/ARDS and address this large unmet medical need.

Sight loss can affect our sense of wellbeing. Here we offer some tips for ways to 'live well with sight loss'.
Wellbeing is more than happiness. It can be described as feeling good and functioning well. It is important to pay attention to our personal wellbeing. Not doing so can impact on our life, our relationships and our health.
Sight loss can sometimes cause us to focus on negative feelings. This is quite natural and can happen at any time, whether you have a newly diagnosed sight loss or have lived with low vision for many years. However, there are many positive things you can do to increase feelings of wellbeing:
Take advantage of all the support and services that are there for you, learn new skills and ways of doing things.
Connect with other people, which could be through one of the many groups that take place at YBPSS.
Eat a healthy diet and exercise if you can. MySight York has a weekly exercise class and a regular Boccia group. We can also tell you about other opportunities to be active in York, including free guided walks in the city.
Reach out to other people. Even the smallest act, like smiling at someone, can help.
Reach out for yourself. If you find yourself dwelling on negative feelings, arrange to talk to someone who can help. The MySight York Talking Space service is free, and can offer you one to one confidential appointments at Rougier House. RNIB, the Macular Society and Blind Veterans UK all offer telephone counselling services. If none of these is suitable, ask your GP for a referral to a service you would prefer.
Try to do something you enjoy every day, whether that's listening to music, calling a friend, enjoying fresh air and birdsong or reading a book.
There is so much support locally and nationally to help you 'live well with sight loss'. Contact MySight York if you would like help in finding a solution that will work for you.

Dish of the Week: Red Curry at Thai Monkey Club
Though I like Phat Thai rather more than does the Westword's outgoing Laura Shunk (while taking to heart her point that key spicing is handled in too desultory a fashion by the kitchen, which thereby forces you to do the dirty work via tableside condiments), I definitely agree with her that Thai Monkey Club has a much more natural & confident handle on the balance between flavor elements that is the hallmark of Southeast Asian & particularly Thai cuisine.
This newish Baker District hole in the wall rates the heat of its dishes on a scale of 1 to 6; the Director & I, having relatively combustion-proof palates, went (via delivery) for 4s and 5s—which a) seemed pretty much the same & b) provided fair warning as to the permanent damage that might be done to tongue & stomach by 6.
So yes, this stuff is packing heat, in the form of little chili-pistols that spray your insides with pockmarks of pain & pleasure. But if mere cheap thrills were all it had to offer, I wouldn't have been half so impressed; rather, homestyle savvy gave each dish its clear, bright due (& hue). That much was true of classic green papaya salad (pictured bottom, heat level 5), a refreshingly precise blend (once mixed together on the spot) of crunchy raw cabbage & salted peanuts; slivers of surprisingly ripe tomato & carrot; & julienned strands of the namesake ingredient that, neither woody nor slimy, evoked tart vegetable spaghetti. In this case, traditional fish-sauce-based dressing delivered the heat as well as the soothing sweet (typically palm sugar) & citrus sour (i.e. lime juice) to highlight the papaya.
The Director's green curry with bamboo, basil, globe eggplant, snow peas, broccoli & pork (top left), though supposedly spicier than mine at heat level 5, was certainly a bit sweeter and creamier—but not thick or clunky; the medium is the message, after all, & what the curry transmitted rather than garbled was the integrity of the humble ingredients within—their nice, nearly uniform bite size; their crisp bite, period; their clean green freshness.
Still, it was my seafood red curry (top right) with more bamboo, basil & globe eggplant plus carrots, baby corn. shrimp, scallop & squid (&, okay, maybe krab?) that, while thoroughly & lastingly spicy in its medium-thick soupiness, was the edible equivalent of looking at the ocean in sunlight & seeing each wave glint in turn—the intense purity of flavor washed over you in intervals.
Given, then, how adept Thai Monkey Club is at exhilarating curries, I'm chomping at the bit to try their noodles next. But by the same token, I'm also tearing a bit at the missed opportunities of the straightforward menu: a lesser-known regional specialty or two would be a dreamy bone to throw at the likes of us chowhounds.

text: Iraq says it has intensified a counter-offensive against Sunni rebels who have taken control of large parts of the country. The rebels, lead by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, have seized one entire province and parts of three others, since they launched their offensive last week. The US has responded to the crisis by sending a carrier strike group to the Gulf, led by the George WH Bush aircraft carrier, as Iran warned against any intervention in Iraq. Iraqi security forces had collapsed in face of the initial onslaught, with many abandoning their vehicles and weapons caches to the rebels Iraqi commanders said the army had started to push back Sunni rebels and that soldiers had recaptured two towns north of Baghdad. Al Jazeera's Imran Khan, reporting from Baghdad, said there was heavy fighting between rebels and security forces in Tal Afar, a mainly Turkmen Shia town 60km west of Mosul, and in Diyala province, which borders Iran. There were no confirmed figures on casualties, but Shia tribal militias had suffered heavy casualties in Diyala, Khan said. Volunteers targeted Attempts to subdue the uprising will be bolstered by a flood of civilian volunteers, encouraged by a call to arms by the country's leading Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. The government echoed the call, asking all military-aged males to sign up to fight the rebels. A centre for new recruits in Khales, in central Iraq, was hit by mortar fire on Sunday, killing six people including three soldiers, the AFP news agency reported. OPINION: Iraq and the Western military meddlers Iran has warned that any "foreign military involvement in Iraq" would only complicate the crisis. "Iraq has the capacity and necessary preparations for the fight against terrorism and extremism," Foreign Ministry spokesman Marzieh Afkham said, according to the ISNA news agency. "The people and government of Iraq will be able to neutralise this conspiracy," Afkham said. The Foreign Ministry's comments come a day after the president, Hassan Rouhani, said that Iran had not been asked for help by its neighbour. The rapid gains the rebels achieved have brought renewed focus on the conflict in Syria and its role in precipitating the crisis in Iraq. The former UN mediator in Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said the international community's inability to resolve the war in Syria had caused the conflict to spread to Iraq. "A conflict of this kind cannot stay confined within the borders of one country," said Brahimi, who resigned from as UN-Arab League representative to Syria in May. ISIL is also involved in the conflict in Syria, fighting both the government and opposition factions including al-Qaeda's affiliate in the country, Jabhat al-Nusra.

Thanks to TIDAL's Discovery section, now merged with TIDAL Rising, I came across August Rigo's album The Fall Out. Seriously, as a music lover, the CD-store in your home is the perfect way to sample new music and artists that I would have previously overlooked.
When I am interested in listening to a new artist, or album, I generally listen to the first three songs. I feel that is where a stellar song will be, if there is going to be one. The first track off The Fall Out, Versions, was all I needed to know that I wanted to hear more.
Versions has an acoustic feel to it and the vocal range that Rigo uses reminds me of Michael Jackson's work on Thriller. Think Human Nature and The Lady In My Life. Yes, Rigo has acknowledge Jackson as a musical influence, but that isn't to say that Rigo is trying to imitate Jackson. Rigo has his own style that is smooth, but also raw and gritty. I absolutely love the premise of Versions as it is a love song with a dose of reality.
Keep Me In Your Heart has a dual approach to rhythm and I much prefer the slower aspects of the song as I feel they really highlight Rigo's vocals. That said, I can appreciate the approach Rigo was going for with this song. One issue that I did find on this track was distortion in the piano/keyboard aspects of the track, especially in the first 10 seconds of the song. Interestingly, this distortion wasn't as apparent when I was listening to the song via speakers, but it is positively jarring on the ears when listening with headphones. I initially thought that it might be my headphones, but upon doing a series of tests across my various components, I found that it is definitely part of the song. I even went as far as selecting the track at a lower resolution on TIDAL to make sure it wasn't just an encoding error. Then, I hate to say it, but I turned to YouTube and it is definitely part of the song and most likely Rigo's artistic style. While the distortion doesn't cause me to dislike the song, I can imagine that when I'm playing the album in future, I will likely proceed to the next song. I'm not against experimenting with sound, or distorting sound, I just don't feel it was done well in this particular situation.
Ambulance is sonically appealing with many atmospheric layers that I find enhances the song. This broken heart love song is simply excellent and I love the lyrical aspects of the song. Yes, dear long-time reader, I am finally listening to the lyrics. Interestingly, this song makes me smile and I find the song humorous. I'm sure this wasn't the intended purpose of the song, but this is Subjective Sounds and that is how I subjectively appreciate the song. Just listen to the chorus and you will know what I mean. Either way, it is a really nice mellow song that you just have to listen to.
Easy To Let Go has a fantastic rhythm and Rigo's vocal capabilities are highlighted in this song. Unfortunately the distortion in the low end, that is baked into the artistry of the song, is a distraction; especially when compared to Rigo's smooth vocals. Again, this is only really highlighted on headphones. Whenever I review an album, I always listen to it via loudspeakers and headphones (both over-the-ear and in-ear). This allows me to experience the album differently. That isn't to say that one is better than the other, but there are differences in sound reproduction, even if you're using the same DAC/Amplifier combination. The simple fact is that headphones are so close to the ear drum, with little to no ambient noise in-between, ensuring sound waves are not interrupted or dropped off by mere distance from the speaker. This often results in hearing more detail if you have a decent set of headphones. This song has a lot of promise, but I would love to see the track remastered with a cleaner bass track and less vocal distortion.
Honest is your run-of-the-mill pop track, but there is nothing wrong with that as it is an enjoyable listen.
The Fall Out is a song that really highlights Rigo's unique vocal style. The song has a nice twang about it and my immediate thought was it could be a fantastic country song. However, as a slow pop tune, it is thoroughly enjoyable. I should also note that at the end of the song there is a guitar and bass string that are purposely played out of tune to highlight the lyrical content. It is a perfect way to conclude the track and ensure a symbiosis between the lyrics and music.
I find the song, I Wanna Be Loved, to be rather complex, but I love the complexity. There are a lot of influences here and as I listen I can't help but think of iconic artist influences such Frank Sinatra, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson merged into a single song. It is one of my favourite songs on the album.
Just Drive is a song that ticks all the boxes for me when it comes to pop music. My body moves, the beat is present but not overbearing, and the vocal delivery is superb.
Why Won't You Dance With Me is in the same category as Just Drive. Perfect. I love it!
A Mother's Vow is a beautiful song to end the album on. It is arguably the best track on the entire album. The introduction of the electric guitar and drum beat is perfect and not distracting from Rigo's lyrical approach and song meaning. Distortion, while present in this track, is used respectfully and in this case enhances the song. Interestingly, at the end of the song, the track continues in silence for about 30 seconds. I've no idea why this is the case, but if you have the album on repeat, it does allow a reflective moment before going back to the first track. If that was the artist's intention, then it certainly makes sense.
Overall, August Rigo's album The Fall Out is exceptional for an artist that is endeavouring to commence a solo career, having previously been a writer/co-writer for artists that include, but are not limited to, Justin Bieber, One Direction, and Chris Brown.
Rigo has an undeniable talent and while the before mentioned artists are not always on my radar, their collective success speaks volumes and proves that Rigo as a song writer and musician is one to watch in the future.
I can't wait to hear a new album, hopefully with a little less distortion, but until then The Fall Out will be getting many repeat plays on TIDAL Hi-Fi.
The Fall Out is also available for purchase in CD-quality FLAC on the TIDAL Store. The album is also available on the iTunes Store.

Musician, The Raincoats
Fi - Hi Podcast Ep 24 : Ana da Silva on The Velvet Underground & Nico
Ana da Silva is a songwriter and founding member of the influential London-based post punk band The Raincoats. Formed in 1977 while college students, the band were signed to the legendary Rough Trade and their debut was produced by label owner Geoff Travis and Mayo Thompson of the Red Krayola. The Raincoats count Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth, Peaches and many more as admirers and Kurt Cobain included their 1979 eponymous debut on his top 50 favorite albums list. Countless new fans were introduced to the magic of The Raincoats after he wrote about them at length in the liner notes to Nirvana's 1992 compilation Incesticide. Cobain also composed the liner notes to the reissue of their debut album, stating "If it weren't for the luxury of putting that scratchy copy of The Raincoats' first record on, I would have had very few moments of peace." While their last album was released in 1996, the band still perform sporadically to this day.

I am pleased to be able to share the trailer for the full length wedding film of Noma and Joe. Their marriage ceremony was held in Wymondham at St. Peter's Church before heading onto the magnificent Stapleford Park, one of the premier wedding venues in the East Midlands. There were 'Pennies from Heaven' on the day but this didn't dampen the occasion in any way, we still managed to get outside for photographs and the fireworks display. Everything looked magnificent in the Great Hall for the wedding breakfast and the evening's festivities. The entire marriage ceremony, speeches, fireworks, first dance and more are included on disc and can be ordered below on DVD and/or Bluray.
Many congratulations to Noma and Joe, thank you for inviting me to film your day and the very best of wishes to both of you.

Manning: Recruitment & Retention
Read this page in Pdf, Flash or Html5 edition of October 2013 Marine News Magazine
Training Expands To Meet South Louisiana?s Needs Employers are hiring in coastal Louisiana, especially as offshore drilling picks up in the Gulf of Mexico. Companies are concerned about Þ nding enough skilled workers in a locally tight labor market. For mariners, a variety of training pro- grams at different levels and costs are offered in south Louisiana. For those businesses without the signiÞ cant wherewithal and training resources of a Kirby Corporation, for example, there are other viable options for training. A quick look at three such vocational and professional programs Ð all of which work closely with the maritime industry Ð sheds light on the breadth of these offerings: Fletcher Technical Community College: The college?s Louisiana Marine and Pe- troleum Institute or LaMPI was founded in the late 1970s to provide local maritime training. The institute provides Coast Guard-approved courses to about 2,200 mari- ners a year now. Fletcher and LaMPI are located in Houma on the Louisiana Gulf. ?LaMPI caters to people who work themselves up from the deck,? said Breck Chais- son, LaMPI?s director of operations. The institute?s Tankerman class has a simulator that provides students with four of the ten transfers they need for a license, he said. The training doesn?t stop there, however. ?We offer an Able bodied Seaman class, Pro ciency in Survival, and RFPNW or Rating Forming Part of a Navigational Watch, so mariners can get everything they need to become an A/B.? Chaisson adds that because the RFPNW is a preferred class, the Coast Guard will waive 120 days of the180 days an Able bodied Seaman needs for a rating. That course (RFPNW) class relies on a Kongsberg full-mission bridge simulator. Custom programming for the Kongsberg simulator was developed for the intersection of the Atchafalaya River and the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway in Louisiana for towing companies in need of such training. Kongsberg Maritime is a marine-solutions company based in Norway. LaMPI offers classes for 100-to-200 ton captains and a prep class for upgrades to a 500 or 1,600-ton license. The institute also offers an apprentice mate class for those in the towing industry. To learn more, visit www.ß etcher.eduMartin International Inc.: In LaPlace, privately owned Martin International, licensed by the state of Louisiana, has provided maritime training for 31 years. Martin offers Coast Guard- approved courses that include Able Seaman; Offshore Installation Manager; Barge Supervisor; Ballast Control Operator; Stability and Ballast Control for Mobile Offshore Drilling Units, Active Ballast (TLP), and Passive Ballast (SPAR and Mini-TLP); Radar Observer-Unlimited; Radar Observer-Recerti- cation; and Medic FA Basic CPR, AED and First Aid 7.0. ?We?re members of the International Association of Drilling Contractors, the Offshore Marine Service Organization and the Society of Petroleum Engineers,? Martin?s President Russell Martin said. ?Our expertise as a training organization allows us to work closely with the offshore industry in compliance with federal regulations, and our experienced staff sees that our students receive appropriate maritime licenses for advancement of their mariners? careers.? On the Web: www.martinint.com Nicholls State University: This fall, Nicholls State in Thibodaux began offering maritime manage- ment as a degree concentration at its College of Business Administration. The program will prepare students for a career in the maritime industry, with a focus on the oil and gas sector. Louisiana?s tech- nical and community colleges have programs to train workers in speci c maritime skills, said Ken Chadwick, director of Nicholls maritime management program. ?Until now, there was no four-year business program to address the need for managerial expertise in the industry,? he said .So far, 29 traditional students pursuing maritime management are enrolled, along with 15 local-business employees who are taking at least one course in a certi cate program. Enrollment is expected to grow next semester. The new program is funded by local and regional businesses at a time when state money for higher education is being cut. Local companies have collaborated to develop courses and content, Chadwick said. The program includes a summer internship with a maritime-related rm. Industry leaders such as Abdon Callais, Bollinger Shipyards, L&M Botruc, Edison Chouest Offshore, Iberia Marine, Montco Offshore, Odyssea Marine, SEACOR Marine and Yellow n Marine Services, have all agreed to hire interns. Nicholls State invites other interested rms to consider offering internships.

When I arranged with my sister to come and spend some time with her at her beautiful home in Western Maine, one of the questions she asked me was, "What is one thing that you really want to do or see?"
It didn't take me more than a minute to respond, "I want to see and/or hear a loon!" I've been a birder most of my life and although I'd been to Maine a couple of times already, I'd never seen or heard a loon.
A couple of days after my request Ginni emailed me the exciting news, "I have some friends who live on lakes. We can go kayaking and they guarantee you'll see a loon!"
(Now, I'd never met her friends, but I've lived with me all my life and I know, when hearing a phrase like that I'm pretty much sure I won't see a loon.) But, ever hopeful, I got excited and looked forward to not only seeing my loon but meeting my sister's friends as well.
Ginni, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is a yoga instructor and the ladies who so fervently assured me of a loon viewing are all members of her Thursday afternoon class in Rangeley, Maine.
Our first stop was to visit Jeannine, (a poster artist) who lives on Long Pond, in a wonderfully funky cabin that was originally built in the 1960s. It's filled with wonderful art, a mad collection of fabulous antique furnishings and the most amazing view of the lake! Dawn, another yoga enthusiast joined us there as well.
|Long Pond (aka Bear Mountain Lake)
Notice the ripples in the water? It was very windy all day long. Not a good day for small craft boating! 80( But we got the binoculars out and scanned and scanned. And Ginni was pretty sure she saw one! Just near this lovely point. But look as I might, I couldn't see one. But what I did see was wonderful! And Jeannine was a gracious host, providing wine and snacks and introducing us to her newest small furry doggie friend.
After this, the first leg of our adventure, we jumped in our cars and drove over to the home of Ainsley and Dolly. They live on Loon Lake. (Sounds like a likely spot, eh?) Ainsley and Dolly live a log cabin, right on the edge of Loon Lake, with their four dogs.
Ainsley is an artist, working as stone turner. She makes exquisite bowls, bottles and vases. Her studio is in a little cabin that sits right next to her home. www.sherocks.net
We walked through the pines to the edge of the lake. We steppped out on the boulders and we ventured onto the dock, but, search as we might, there were no loons!
|Loon Lake
|Left to Right;
Jeannine, Ginni, Dawn, Me and Ainsley
Porter is in front.
|This is Dolly.
She took the photo
So, intesad of standing around feeling sorry for ourselves, we went inside and had a little wine!
The next stop on the Progressive Loon Hunt was to Dawn's house. She lives on Quimby Pond.
She is a scientist and world traveler and makes stained glass as a hobby.
|Quimby Pond
Well, the wind still hadn't died down. It was late in the afternoon, really more like early evening. We stood on the dock and scanned the coves for signs of loonage. We did actually think we'd seen a couple, but they turned out to be something in the water that wasn't moving. That's a dead giveaway that they aren't alive. But we went inside, met Mr. Dawn and got to see her little cubby of a stained glass space. And we got hear about the time her cats cornered the mink in the cellar!
After that it was definitely time to say our farewells. No loons. 80(
But I had a wonderful time. I feel that I really got a chance to know the great folks my sister hangs out with. They are all such special people, each with their own unique artistic leaning.
As I've mentioned before, Ginni has an incredible gift of hospitality, truly an artist in her own right!
On the way home we made one last stop at Rangeley Lake, just a stop at the scenic pull over, but by then sun was setting, the wind was still blowing and there wasn't a loon to be seen.
|Rangeley Lake
Ah well. What a wondeful day I had!

Annabelle: Creation Trailer Gives Us Another Reason To Be Scared Of Dolls
Dolls are creepy enough as it is, and they've inspired a whole run of scream-worthy horror films to the point where they've become a sub-genre of thriller on their own. (Raise your hand if Child's Play ruined your childhood to a certain degree. Shudder.) Annabelle made for a chilling addition to this realm of horror, and its prequel, Annabelle: Creation, appears to be just as scary, if not more so.
Brought to you by The Conjuring universe, Annabelle: Creation goes back to the very beginning of her horrifying story. The glassy-eyed doll made her debut in the first moments of the 2013 film, and got a full-length feature treatment of her own in 2014's Annabelle.
Annabelle: Creation lays out exactly how a little girl's accidental death connects to the cursed doll that would later bring death and destruction to a number of unlucky people before winding up in a (supposedly) secure glass case in Ed and Lorraine Warren's house.
It all starts with a scary movie check list, basically: Creepy orphanage with mysteriously locked rooms? Got it. Two devastated parents with a painful past? Yup. Crucifixes, things that go bump in the night, and a girl who flips into demon mode in a second flat? The Annabelle: Creation trailer brings all of this to the tea party table, so rest (not so) assured that the movie is likely to have a whole lot more of all of the above.
Annabelle: Creation hits theatres—and your nightmares—on August 11.

A By Verónica Ortiz O.^
Before concluding its ordinary sessions, the Senate approved the so called historic reform for the capital city to be officially called Mexico City (it is currently the Federal District) and to be given a brand new Constitution as an independent state of the Mexican Republic.
A long time project of the left to ensure control over their political bastion, and one of the Pacto por Mexico´s pending issues, the text now turned to the House of Representatives for discussion and approval has risen more concern than support. Conceptual consistency would be one for starters. The terms of "state", "federal entity" and "Mexico City" are intermittently used, adding to confusion on the pretended legal status and capacities of the capital city.
But most importantly, specialists have drawn attention to the procedure foreseen for the creation of the new Constitution, through a legislative assembly to be crafted for the task.
A 100 notable´s group, where 60 members would be publicly elected, and the rest designated by the Senate (14), the lower House (14), the President (6) and the city´s Mayor (6).
The problem is the legitimacy of such assembly and the quality of the product given the predictable battles to gain political control over it. As distinguished Italian scholar Giovanni Sartori pointed out in an interview with Mexican academic Jorge Islas(*), writing a new Constitution is no easy task and it is likely to become a complete disaster since constitutional assemblies are not appropriately suited for the job.
In Sartori´s opinion, this is a mistake made in recent times, whereas old Constitutions were drafted by specialists and then submitted to parliamentary approval or referendum.
The question remains as it is uncertain that the pressing issues and conflicts Mexico City faces (namely insecurity, informal economy, corruption, etc.) will be better addressed with a change of name and a new Constitution. That is, if the potential benefits for the capital´s citizens outweigh the costly implementation of this political reform.
For the moment, Congress is in recess and, if no extraordinary sessions are summoned, will resume activities on September 1st after the midterm elections that will renew the House of Representatives. The new composition of the lower Chamber will give a hint on whether or not this reform will ever see the light.

Now, let's not beat around the bush. We liked Viva Piñata on Xbox 360, with its strangely compulsive – not to mention serene - mix of creature collecting and garden maintenance. In fact, we liked it enough to award the game an IGN UK '8.2' back in the days when the internet was less stupid. That said, there was always the niggling doubt that Microsoft's console wasn't quite the ideal match that its PR juggernaut seemed desperate to convince us of. In fact, beneath our boisterous praise for Viva Piñata around the drinks table, there was an increasingly persistent rumble that, just maybe, we would have liked it even better if only it was on the DS.
And, as we all know, videogames journalists are always right. So it was with a faint sense of smug satisfaction that we spent a good number of hours with the game, courtesy of publisher THQ at Rare's secret underground bunker, somewhere in a field just outside Birmingham. Let's just cut to the chase: Pocket Paradise is awesome. In a nutshell, it's Viva Piñata on a handheld with few concessions to gameplay and all of the improvements and additions we were crying out for first time around.
For starters, Pocket Paradise's touch-screen interface works like a dream. It's hugely intuitive and far more accessible than its stick-based console counterpart. For the majority of play, your piñata garden occupies the DS's lower screen and interacting with your environment is simply a case of tapping an object and dragging the resulting marker in the direction you want it to go. It's consistent whatever your intention – piñata will automatically interact with their comrades or surroundings if that's where you send them or simply mill idly if you're less specific. Meanwhile, tools are equally well implemented, conveniently gathered in a pop-up menu along the top portion of the lower screen – with your spade, watering can, grass seeds and rubble available from the off. Each has its own drop-down sub-menu meaning selecting each command is never more than a few taps away. Your spade, for instance, can be used to pop or whack objects, dig dirt or dig a pond while grass seeds are available in long or short varieties, depending on your landscaping whims.
Initially, your garden is roughly 2x2 DS screens in size and planting grass or digging dirt is simply a matter of rubbing the screen with the appropriate tool selected. Your three-quarter-ish top-down viewpoint automatically scrolls as you reach the edge of the screen but Rare has also incorporated a scroll tool for easy perusal of your grounds – it's even possible to use the d-pad which makes interaction even more seamless. There's also a hugely useful overhead map – accessed either via the touch-screen or left shoulder button – which gives you a complete overview of everything in your garden, from piñata to plant life to structures. Simply tap the area you want to investigate and you'll be transported over instantly. Again, it's an obvious touch but it's tough to emphasise just how all these tiny details come together to offer a joyfully fluid experience – every aspect of the interface feels completely natural and Pocket Paradise is a better game for it.
Meanwhile, the upper DS screen is sensibly reserved for vital information, be that events, alerts, objectives or garden ratios – the game keeps track of grass, dirt and water percentages and you'll need to keep an eye on these in order to attract some of those more elusive piñata. It's also possible to flip screens over, offering stylus access to more detailed information, as well as Pocket Paradise's comprehensive encyclopaedia – rammed with details on every piñata, helper character, plant, structure or ornament in the game. It's here you'll uncover requirements for attracting piñata to your garden and keeping them there which is the goal of the game.

The Blow up! exhibition revolved around 'inflatable art'. The 'inflatable art' has its origins in the inflatable architecture, which was developed at the beginning of the 20th century out of the necessity to provide quickly built housing for the army in war and disaster areas.
Curator Holger Nickisch invited two artists whose work consists mainly of inflatable art and objects. With their spectacular, roomfilling-inflatables Robert Roelink and Bert Kramer completely transformed the Fort bij Vijfhuizen.
During a special film night the recently released movie Ghost Army from Rick Beyer was shown in the the exhibition space. Ghost Army showed how the army worked with artists to design and develop inflatable tanks, aircraft and other war material. These decoys were part of the D-Day invasion in World War II, to deceive the German troops – succesfully. The material used for this film was until recently a military secret!

Since its inception, those in power have always been aware of the power & influence that could be wielded by controlling the images presented to the masses via Mass Media. In the early days of radio, and even more with the coming of television, mass media was often the tool utilized to indoctrinate us with the ideas of what was good and proper for the American public [insert sarcastic smile here]. But since the passing of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, any semblance of morality exited stage left and ushered in an era of madness that even George Orwell would not have been able to foresee.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996, passed under former President Bill Clinton, allowed for deregulation and relaxation of the guidelines that Radio and Television Networks must operate within. Prior to that time there were fairly strict rules in place, in regard to the content that had to/could be/could not be aired, and to guard against any one company developing a monopoly. Almost immediately, larger corporations came in to devour the smaller radio stations, television stations, and record labels. Gone was the idea of providing content, substance or education. Now companies like NEWSCORP (FOX), VIACOM, AOL/TIME WARNER, VIACOM (COMCAST), SONY (CBS), RADIO ONE, and UNIVERSAL (VIVENDI) were put in position to TELL YOU what's right, cool, smart, etc.
The end result is a 17+ year epidemic, in which two generations of masses now hold conquests of materialism, sex, drugs, and violence as the pinnacle of what life is all about. Athletes, Singers, Rappers, and Fictitious Movie/T.V. Characters have become our role models (can't stomach the idea of using the word "Leaders" here). Stories of true events, and and real-life leaders, have been revised & re-packaged by the corporations and media outlets that own the images and your access to the information. If it cannot be used to make more money, then you will probably not see or here about it. Politicians now stand out more for the outrageous statements that they make, rather than for actual policy changes & legislation. The way we talk, walk and dress have been impacted. And those who resist conforming to these imposed standards are castigated for going against the grain.
Sadly, these same tactics are used to justify the murder and imprisonment of people of color all around the world. Lawyers, Politicians, Police Departments, State Governments, Political Action Committees, and others, now skillfully twist information to push forward agendas to profit off of Public Paranoia & Fear. In the next few days we will revisit this point, as an examination of how the media is used as a smokescreen to further develop the Prison Industrial Complex (aka modern day slavery). Stay tuned, and THANK YOU for reading...

Written after Feuchtwanger had moved his residence from Munich to Berlin in 1925, and published by Gustav Kiepenheuer Verlag (Berlin) in 1930 with an initial print of 40,000 copies, Erfolg. Drei Jahre Geschichte einer Provinz [Success. Three Years in the Life of a Province] was the first major German novel to be set in the early years of Adolf Hitler's rise to power (1921-24) and to expose the nascent Nazi movement as at the same time threatening and laughable. The English translation by Willa and Edwin Muir was published in the same year by Martin Secker in London and, under the title Success. A Novel, by Viking Press in New York. The novel has also been translated into at least sixteen …

The Official Rock Paper Scissors Strategy Guide has basic rules to Rock Paper Scissors, along with an informative FAQ:
Does Rock crush Scissors or is Scissors dulled by Rock?
There is no clear answer to that question. Younger and aggressive (or American) players tend to favour the Rock crushing Scissors view. More liberal-minded players take the view that scissors are dulled by the Rock. The World RPS Society created a task force in 1987 with a hope of eventually resolving the issue but it has been locked in debate and we no longer hold much hope of quick resolution.
There are even tournaments.

The Umbrella is proud to present Dynamic Alpine Sexual – aka – D A S, a theatrical interpretation of a lifestyle genre created by Jordan Sarah. D A S is more than living the fast life on the slopes, sensual indulgences, exotic powders, etc, it's an attitude. To learn what D A S truly is, one must experience it for themselves…
NOTE: The production is a limited run, with extremely limited capacity per show. We can only accommodate a fixed number of people per show, per night. The production is intense, but concise, this isn't a dance party. You'll be in, and out within the space of an hour, but the experience you'll take from it will stay with you for the remainder of your life, for better or for worse.
