Emergency medicine in South Africa - time to catch up
The recent development of emergency medicine in South Africa (SA) provides a shining example of how much can be achieved by so few when passion and vision are combined with a commitment to improving patient care. Maturation of the specialty in countries such as Australia has embedded the role of emergency physicians in clinical niches where it would seem unnatural, inappropriate and even unsafe to place doctors with alternative training. As British and Australian emergency physicians who recently enjoyed the privilege of a study tour around SA, we were impressed and bewildered by aspects of SA's emergency care. We observed care in 6 hospitals and 2 pre-hospital systems in 3 major cities and a rural town. We offer our perspectives, not as experts or superiors, but as outsiders free from political allegiance or local institutional affiliation.
The case load of blunt and penetrating trauma in SA dwarfs that of other English-speaking nations, resulting in impressive specialist expertise. We had privileged contact with surgeons who ranked among the best in the world. However, in some areas, the apparent uniquely SA division between trauma and non-trauma emergency units within the same hospital made little sense to those of us used to the efficiency of a single emergency department. Resource implications aside, we were most struck - even in some very large and relatively well-equipped hospitals - by the absence of trauma care aspects considered mandatory in an emergency unit, e.g. timely provision of analgesia, minimum monitoring standards for procedural sedation and rapid sequence intubation, structured triage, allowing relatives access to patients undergoing resuscitation, the use of ultrasound for rapid diagnosis of life-threatening pathology, and supervision of junior staff. Ironically, emergency physicians in SA already have policies and recommendations in place for these issues,1-5 but are unlikely to see them enforced in departments that are not covered by emergency physicians.
SA emergency medicine is ahead of the game in pre-hospital and retrieval medicine; in other non-mainland European countries, we struggle to interest our emergency medicine colleagues in this practice to the point of having to create a new subspecialty.6 Pre-hospital care in SA seems well-integrated into the emergency medicine curriculum, with several areas seeing deployment of physicians to critically ill or injured pre-hospital cases. There is clearly a spectrum of critical care competence within the levels of ambulance personnel in SA, and, in some cases, it appears that the inter-hospital transport of critically ill patients might benefit from closer involvement of emergency physicians.
Our visit to a rural referral centre revealed what was possible when trained emergency physicians take responsibility for developing a comprehensive emergency medicine service that encompasses traumatic, medical and surgical emergencies. Obvious limitations in material resources and staffing did not prevent the provision of skilled resuscitation, point-of-care sonography, emergency department-based anaesthesia, procedural sedation, rapid turnaround minor surgery, orthopaedic lists, critical care (the need for which is heightened by limited intensive care beds), skilled acute medicine and toxicology, and, most strikingly, an emphasis on patient comfort and dignity. It is little surprise that such a department is regarded as a beacon for the acquisition of resuscitation and emergency procedural and anaesthesia skills by overseas graduates who value the structured training and senior supervision by trained emergency physicians.7
Despite only 7 years' existence as a registered specialty in SA,8 the training of emergency medicine registrars demonstrates state-of-the- art educational principles delivered by a faculty whose enthusiasm, commitment and clinical credibility would challenge that found in any longer-established overseas programme.
Arguments favouring the employment of emergency physicians in resource-limited settings include safety, governance and clinical versatility. As more of the population become educated, insured and medicolegally aware, many traditional attitudes and approaches will become obsolete and unacceptable. Resuscitation expertise aside, the role of the emergency physician as patient advocate in a resource-limited health system would occupy a void in many of the environments that we witnessed.
Seven years into official recognition, a disconnect remains between the skills and aspirations of emergency physicians and service provision in many areas. The websites of the two main public hospitals in the nation's capital exclude emergency medicine from their list of services;9,10 this is a revelation that this disconnect cannot be blamed purely on resources, but perhaps also on politics and culture.
Shortly after returning to Australia, SA was included in a well-publicised World Health Organization report demonstrating that most preventable patient deaths were caused by inadequate clinical staff training and supervision, and failure to follow policies or protocols.11 This seemed to echo our observations that emergency and trauma units lacked emergency physician coverage.
We are inspired by the specialty's progress in such a short time, but much work remains. The first generations of emergency medicine graduates will need to be excellent clinicians, leaders, lobbyists, negotiators and managers.12 The challenge for other specialists, healthcare managers and politicians is to recognise that emergency medicine offers an economically sound solution to many practical, clinical and ethical problems in the care of ill and injured patients in SA. It is time to catch up.

Although its name sounds like a low-budget horror movie, you won't find Red Tide at a theater near you. To take in this natural phenomenon, you'll have to venture to the ocean, because red tide—or more scientifically, HAB or harmful algae bloom—occurs when a harmful variety of algae reproduces so densely that the water appears red, yellowish-brown, or green from the high concentrations of photosynthetic pigments.
Explains Michael Arthur, a Penn State geosciences professor with research expertise in marine ecosystems, most varieties of algae are harmless and occupy an essential tier of the food chain.
The algae responsible for red tide, however, is one of a few dozen species of phytoplankton called dinoflagellates that, under the right conditions, produce toxins. The level of toxicity depends on the specific algal variety involved, with the most dangerous species emitting potent neurotoxin that can kill marine and coastal wildlife, and can even cause illness or death in humans.
But why do these blooms occur?
According to Arthur, "Blooms can't occur unless the algae is already present in the water, and the right nutrients are present—particularly nitrogen and phosphorus—to supply the raw materials that stimulate rapid growth of the algae population."
Aided by warm water and stagnant surface conditions, nutrients play a large part in allowing the algae to reproduce so quickly. Says Arthur, one source of these nutrients comes from upwelling, a process where colder, deeper ocean water is brought up to shallower water, bringing nutrients with it. Upwelling along the U.S. West Coast may have a lot to do with the high incidence of blooms in that region. The bluish-green glow, or bioluminescence, of the relatively harmless dinoflagellate species Noctiluca scintillans, is a common sight in California's waters.
However, Karenia brevis—the microorganism responsible for most red tides in Florida's Gulf of Mexico—is a much redder and more dangerous strain. A 2005 outbreak along Florida's southwest coast was described in the New York Times as one of the state's "worst red tides in decades." At its peak, it caused a 2,000 mile-wide "dead zone" off the city of St. Petersburg that was responsible for "more than 950 tons of dead creatures" that washed up on area beaches. (Ironically, hurricanes typically bring relief by diluting the concentration of algae, but even Hurricane Katrina didn't end Florida's 2005 ferocious outbreak.)
Areas where pollution drains into the ocean often experience algae blooms, Arthur notes. He suspects excess nutrification is the cause. "Blooms have been observed around aquaculture sites and fish farms where nutrients are being shed into the surrounding water," he says. "Fertilizer run-off from farmland and sewage waste also add to the nutrient content, supplying the algae with a more abundant food source."
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), over 50 percent of unusual marine mammal mortality events are due to harmful algae blooms. While shellfish such as clams, mussels, and oysters, are not directly harmed by red tide, their filter-feeding systems store the algae's toxins in their tissue. If tainted shellfish is ingested, they can have a deadly affect.
As Arthur explains, "Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) and other syndromes caused when people eat tainted shellfish can cause catastrophic damage to victims' cardiovascular, digestive, and/or neurological systems. Some, including PSP, are potentially fatal. "If you contract this condition," continues Arthur, "the first symptom you'll likely notice is a numbness on your tongue. If this occurs, you should get medical help immediately. Breathing machines have saved lives in this situation. Otherwise, the heart keeps beating but the paralyzed lungs fail, leading to death."
Reported occurrences of PSP in coastal areas have increased in the last 30 to 40 years. According to Arthur, it's possible that the condition is simply more widely recognized today and therefore more accurately reported. There are also more people living in coastal areas, he notes, as well as better monitoring systems to locate PSP-carrying algae. However, he suggests that the increase is likely due at least in part to an actual increase in HAB. Warmer water temperatures resulting from climate change have tentatively been associated with algae blooms, though research is continuing on the subject.
To eaters of seafood, Arthur suggests, "You have to be careful and know where things come from. Don't just walk along the beach, pick up an oyster or mussel, and pop it into your mouth." Watch the news for "red tide alerts" and, when dining at a seafood restaurant, "use the buddy system," he advises, "so that you can notice physical or behavioral changes in each other that might signal shellfish poisoning."
Caution is the watchword, because although "Red Tide" may not be a horror movie, its impact can be pretty horrific.

I'm not sure if these San Francisco bros had a clear plan in mind when they rushed the field at last night's Reds-Giants game, but if they did I don't think it involved eating the warning track.
You have to feel a little bit sorry for the guy in the purple hoodie, who gets absolutely manhandled by AT&T Park security. Unlike his nearby friend, he stayed committed to his shenanigans all the way to the end, and he paid the price for it. At least he earned that pained, triumphant look that he flashes toward the crowd at the end of the video.

text: The meaning of life when examined is really a trick question. There is none. Let's begin by examining what meaning is. Meaning is something that you do something for. Something you get out of something. The meaning of me going to the grocery strore is to get food. I get food out of going to the grocery store. Therefore, through this view, when you examine what you get out of life you realize that you get nothing. Out of years and years of working hard to make it to the top you then die and lose everything. So there must be no meaning to life. I suppose we are just creatures that float around doing things that make us feel good until we die. I can't extract any real reason for life so far. Though maybe I'm looking in the wrong directions. To prove my theory, if you can find a meaning to life, post it here. If I am not able to prove it wrong by my own reasoning then you will have shown me the meaning to life. Though, if I am able to disprove every reason then I must be right. Please do not make any ignorant posts. The content of this thread should be intelligent and well thought through.

In the past, Family Tree Maker users (Version 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) have wanted some why to look at ALL of the Shaky Leaves that are in their PC based program. We didn't have that feature.
If the same user had an Ancestry Member Tree (AMT), they could go to their AMT and look at everyone with a Hint. However, that wasn't very helpful, as the AMT and the Family Tree Maker files were not synchronized making it a little difficult to take the next step. That is, taking action on that hint.
With FTM2012 there is a way to manage these hints. Here is a screen capture from with the People Workspace, Family View with some Hints.
Clicking on the leaf will take you to the Web Search Workspace where a Web Merge can be done, if the user wishes. Normally, that is the way I like to work, that is One at a time, so that the "hints" can be evaluated. However, from time to time, I would like to concentrate on a specific family or group of families. The above view isn't very helpful.
Return to the Plan Workspace, and there is a link to the Ancestry Member Tree (AMT). It's not important if the TreeSync™ feature has been used recently or not.
Using this Link will take you to the AMT in a new Browser window.
Using the pull down menu, Tree Pages, selecting the Tree Overview link will take you to the Overview of your AMT. In the above screen, you can also see those Hints.
Under the statistics of the AMT is a link to the Hints in the tree. This example shows that there are 61 hints for this tree. Clicking on that link will take you to a list of those 61 people.
The really nice thing about FTM2012 is the ability to work on this tree, either Online in the AMT or in FTM2012. The user now has the flexibility to work from the AMT, or to print this list and work on this list from within FTM2012. Since I like to write on this type of report, knowing what I have done, want to do, or want to ignore AND I am more comfortable working within FTM2012, I would do so. BUT, and I have done this, is work off of this list from here.
We have options.

U.S., China hold rare joint naval drills
BEIJING Three Chinese ships are sailing east to join rare naval drills with the United States as Beijing ramps up its military diplomacy amid regional territorial disputes and other tensions.
The ships left the port of Qingdao on Tuesday to participate in search-and-rescue drills with the U.S. Navy in the waters off Hawaii. Afterward, the ships will continue on to Australia and New Zealand for similar exercises
The naval drills build on a commitment to create stronger ties made by President Obama and Chinese leader Xi Jinping at a June summit in California, and are an "important mission of military diplomacy," deputy navy commander Xu Hongmeng said, according to the military's official newspaper, People's Liberation Army Daily.
There have been only a handful of exercises at sea involving the two countries' navies, and this week's drills are the first since an unprecedented joint anti-piracy exercise was held last year off Somalia.
The ships' departure came during a visit to the U.S. by Chinese Defense Minister Chang Wanquan, during which he and U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke of expanded military cooperation. During the visit, Hagel said he would visit China next year for the first time since assuming the Pentagon's top job in February.
The U.S. and Chinese militaries are also exchanging military officers for academic studies and holding talks on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. In 2014, China's navy will participate for the first time in a major international maritime exercise known as Rim of the Pacific.
The expanding military ties are part of an on-again, off-again drive to build trust even as Beijing continues to express wariness over Washington's strategic "pivot" to Asia, in which the bulk of U.S. Navy vessels are being positioned in the Pacific and broader alliances have been struck with regional allies such as Australia. China sees the moves as an effort to counter its expanding military and contain its growing economic and political influence.
China's disputes with Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and other Asian neighbors over territorial boundaries in the South China Sea are also an irritant, even though the U.S. insists it does not take sides in territorial claims.
The Chinese navy flotilla on the current mission is made up of a supply ship, a frigate, and the guided missile destroyer Qingdao, which has taken the lead in China's naval diplomacy with visits to 21 countries. It also includes one shipboard helicopter and 680 officers and sailors.

Hurricane Sandy is being described as the "worst storm in 100 years" and will possibly mutate to super-storm status once it combines with a polar air mass over the eastern United States enabling it to cause widespread damage and chaos, but how convenient is the timing of this "natural" event in regards to the election? Is it possible that the storm is a contrived event designed to throw the election for Obama?
The reality of weather modification is no conspiracy theory.
Since before the 50's, weather modification techniques have existed. In fact, the threat of "weather weapons" was so imminent that the United Nations felt it necessary to draft a treaty ensuring no nation would use this "new means of warfare" against one another. Why would the U.N. draft a treaty if weather modification was just a conspiracy theory?
The 1976 UN Weather Weapons Treaty defined "weather weapons" as follows: "[…] the term "environmental modification techniques" refers to any technique for changing – through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes–the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere andatmosphere, or of outer space."
Article I of the treaty states that each State Party "undertakes not to engage in military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techniques having widespread, long-lasting or severe effects as the means of destruction, damage or injury to any other State Party."
Article III, however, makes the provision that weather weapons can be used if their applications are deemed "for peaceful purposes."
Weather modification around the world.
In 2008, China removed the threat of rain during their Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing using 30 airplanes, 4,000 rocket launchers, 7,000 anti-aircraft guns and, according to the LA Times, "a technique that reduces the size of the raindrops, delaying the rain until the clouds move on."
Earlier this year, we reported on Russia employing a form of weather modification when they used 10 aircraft to stave off clouds for their City Day celebration in Moscow. In 2008, it was reported that a man in Moscow had a chunk of cement fall on his house after it "failed to fragment when falling through the air" during a mission to clear the skies.
In 2005, a proposed U.S. Senate bill would have created a Weather Modification Operations and Research Board to promote further research into the area.
Also, earlier this year we reported on the massive $5 billion dollar price tag put on a program to spray sun-dimming particles into the upper atmosphere, a program put in motion to allegedly halt global warming. The program, known by a few under the moniker "chemtrails," is widely speculated to already be underway.
For Obama, the possibility of a perfect storm catastrophe would undoubtedly leave thousands
in need of government assistance. Homes and lives would be in shambles and swarms would flock to FEMA for handouts, allowing Obama to grandstand over relief efforts.
Weather modification is a reality and our technological capabilities in the field have most certainly increased exponentially since the 1976 UN treaty. We could possibly be seeing the effects right before our eyes. One just needs to look outside on a clear day and see lines in the sky to realize that weather modification is already a part of our everyday lives.

I prefer to make as much as I can from scratch, but still love to showcase quick and simple dinners that can be pulled together for busy weeknight suppers. That being said, isn't it great to have a few shortcuts when it comes to the evening dinner that can make the process a little easier for your family? One thing I love to make for a busy week or as a simple supper for family entertaining is my Baked Ziti. Instead of doing my traditional ground turkey sausage in the sauce, I opted to buy a package of meatballs from the frozen section of the store. Using these made the dish come together just a tiny bit easier and it was a fun new addition to our traditional ziti that the whole family loved. This small switch saved me a little bit of time and it created a heartier stick-to-your-ribs deliciousness that our entire family loved. A package of frozen meatballs can be a wonderful addition to your freezer to be able to whip together a quick meal for those nights where you just don't feel like cooking. I love to make my homemade spaghetti sauce for a special Sunday dinner, but whose to say those meatballs have to be made from scratch? Bread machine hamburger buns can be shaped into hoagie rolls and filled with meatballs that have simmered in jarred sauce for a semi-homemade dinner treat, sprinkled with a little grated mozzarella cheese. These meatballs can be incorporated beautifully into this or any other pasta dish of your choice for a night of entertaining. The truth is, sometimes it is just nice to know that half of the work is done for you. I hope you can add a little of this to your weekly planner, to share with a friend in need, or as a simple solution to weeknight entertaining! Classic Baked Ziti With Turkey Meatballs 1 package frozen turkey meatballs, thawed (I bought the Fit & Active brand at Aldi and they were delicious) 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 (32 ounce) jar meatless sauce 1 cup chicken broth 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1 (16 ounce) package ziti pasta, cooked & drained 2 (8 ounce) cups shredded mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, cook garlic in olive oil over medium heat for one minute. Stir in spaghetti sauce, chicken broth, & oregano. Add thawed meatballs to the sauce. Reduce heat & simmer for ten minutes. Stir one cup of the sauce into the cooked ziti noodles. Spoon half of the ziti mixture into a 9×13 baking dish. Sprinkle with 1.5 cups mozzarella or Italian cheese blend cheese & a 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Top with two cups sauce, then remaining ziti mixture & remaining sauce. Cover & bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella & Parmesan cheese. Return to oven & bake uncovered for ten minutes or until heated through. What is one item you like to keep on hand in your pantry or freezer for a quick meal? Feel free to share your links and recipe ideas!

It's here! Benjamin Moore has launched its new line of 240 full-spectrum colors online. Welcome "Color Stories" !
Colors are organized by hue into "volumes"…Fluid Blues, Golden Fields, Violet Twilight, Fiery Sunset, Elemental Greens, Earthen Hues, Naturally Neutral and Shades of Gray. I'm most intrigued by the grays. Imagine grays without a drop of black pigment added…complex, nuanced, luminous.
Here are some screen grabs of the "Gray Volume"…
"Ally's Earring" ….."A single, heirloom pearl inspired this beautiful, warm neutral. Radiant, elegant…both formal and casual in nature. " Absolutely beautiful imagery… professional designers may not need "stories" to inform their color choices, but I'm betting the busy consumer in the market for the perfect gray will be inspired by them. The images and descriptions do evoke an emotional response… "Tweed Coat" is easier to recall than BMCC-315.
Is gray already on the way out? NO… the perfect neutral will always be at home on the walls of our homes. It is classic, enduring and the perfect backdrop for other more vibrant hues like chartreuse, yellow and orange.
The paint deck (actual painted samples) will be available in November. But for now, "wet samples" (pint-size cans in Aura eggshell finish) can be ordered online.
And take a look at "Bellbottom Blues"… hard to resist!
For more background on "Color Stories", see my previous post, "Full-Spectrum Yum", here.

AL Capsules
NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Beltran hit a two-run homer, Ivan Nova rebounded from a rough outing and the New York Yankees beat Boston 3-2 Sunday night with the aid of another disputed replay ruling that led to the ejection of Red Sox manager John Farrell.
Beltran had three hits and was pressed into his first career appearance at first base for the banged-up Yankees. Ichiro Suzuki robbed David Ortiz of extra bases with a spectacular catch in the eighth inning to help New York take three of four in the first series of the season between the longtime rivals.
Mike Napoli homered and Felix Doubront (1-2) went 6 2-3 innings for the Red Sox, who scratched star second baseman Dustin Pedroia before the game due to a sore left wrist.
New York, playing without Derek Jeter for the second consecutive game, scored its third run with the benefit of instant replay in the fourth.
With runners at the corners and one out, the Red Sox thought they turned an inning-ending double play on Francisco Cervelli's grounder. First base umpire Bob Davidson called Cervelli out on a bang-bang play, and Cervelli grabbed his right hamstring as he tumbled to the ground.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi challenged the call, which was overturned after a 3-minute replay review. That gave New York another run and a 3-1 lead.
Farrell, surely still bothered by a replay review that curiously went against Boston the day before, pointed to his eyes as he argued with two umpires. He was quickly ejected by Davidson.
SEATTLE (AP) — Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer that broke a scoreless tie in the eighth inning, lifting Oakland over Seattle.
Cespedes pulled a 2-2 slider from Charlie Furbush (0-1) into the left field bullpen. Cespedes' second homer of the season came after Jed Lowrie drew a leadoff walk.
Josh Donaldson added a solo home run in the ninth, his third, off Lucas Luetge.
A's starter Scott Kazmir pitched two-hit ball for six innings, striking out nine without a walk.
Dan Otero (2-0) retired two batters in the seventh. Luke Gregerson worked the eighth and Sean Doolittle allowed one hit in the ninth for his first save.
Chris Young made his first start since Sept. 9, 2012, while with the New York Mets. Young pitched six shutout innings, giving up four hits. He walked three and struck out two.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Martin Perez threw eight scoreless innings, Donnie Murphy had a sacrifice fly and the Rangers got a series-clinching victory over the Astros.
Perez (2-0) scattered five hits and walked three, but the left-hander benefited from four double-play grounders. He struck out two.
Murphy's deep flyball to the left-center gap in the sixth sent home Josh Wilson for the lone run of the game against Brett Oberholtzer (0-3).
Alexi Ogando worked a perfect ninth to convert his first save chance.
BALTIMORE (AP) — Mark Buehrle allowed one run over seven innings to win his third straight start, and the Blue Jays hit three home runs and had a season-high 17 hits in an victory over the Orioles.
Jose Bautista hit a three-run drive and Colby Rasmus and Brett Lawrie had solo shots to help Toronto win the decisive matchup of the three-game series.
Rasmus, Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Lind each collected three hits for the Blue Jays, who enjoyed their highest scoring game of the year at the expense of Ubaldo Jimenez (0-3) and three Baltimore relievers.
Buehrle (3-0) gave up five hits, walked none and struck out two.
Chris Davis hit his first homer of the season for Baltimore.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Pitcher Wade Davis made a wild flip home on a comebacker in the eighth inning and the Twins rallied past the City Royals for a three-game sweep.
A madcap sequence put the Twins ahead and a crazy play ended it, too.
With two outs and none on in the ninth, Mike Moustakas popped a ball straight up. As he stood to watch it in the batter's box, catcher Kurt Suzuki tripped over him, resulting in an interference call for the final out.
After the Royals scored three times in the eighth for a 3-2 lead, reliever Aaron Crow (0-1) walked two Minnesota batters to start the bottom half.
Davis struck out Joe Mauer, but Trevor Plouffe walked to load the bases. Chris Herrmann then hit a tapper back to the mound and Davis' toss sailed past catcher Salvador Perez. Pedro Florimon scored the tying run and Brian Dozier slid home under Perez's return throw to Davis covering the plate.
Casey Fien (1-0) got one out and Glen Perkins posted his third save.
CHICAGO (AP) — Alexei Ramirez hit a two-run homer off John Axford in the ninth inning, rallying the White Sox over the Indians.
The Indians scored twice in the top of the ninth, getting the go-ahead run on a wild pitch by closer Matt Lindstrom (1-1).
Axford (0-1) came in seeking his fifth save in as many chances. He issued a leadoff walk to Jordan Danks, who stole second.
One out later, Ramirez homered over the left field fence.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Raul Ibanez hit consecutive home runs off Bartolo Colon in the first inning, setting the tone for the Angels' rout of the Mets in the decisive game of their interleague series.
Hank Conger also went deep against Colon, who won the AL CY Young Award in 2005 with the Angels. Colon (1-2) gave up nine runs and 11 hits in five innings, allowing at least one hit to every batter in the Angels' starting lineup.

Federal counterterrorism officials issued new memos about terrorist interest in attacking sports stadiums, entertainment complexes and hotels, citing al-Qaeda's longstanding desire to strike at large public gatherings.
The FBI and Homeland Security Department sent two bulletins Monday to police around the country but said they know of no specific plots and did not mention the ongoing high-profile investigation of a possible terrorist plot involving a Colorado man and associates in New York City.
In the bulletins — obtained by The Associated Press — officials urged law enforcement and private companies to be vigilant. The warnings followed on the heels of a similar warning about the vulnerabilities of mass transit systems.
The bulletin on stadiums notes that an al-Qaeda training manual specifically lists "blasting and destroying the places of amusement, immorality, and sin... and attacking vital economic centers" as desired targets of the organization.
Political coverage from NBC4.
"It is our role in law enforcement to constantly maintain a high level of vigilance," Washington, D.C., Police Chief Cathy Lanier said in a statement released Tuesday. "We do this through our partnerships with the local and federal law enforcement communities and the private sector. While these bulletins do not indicate that there is a specific threat, they do remind us that we always need to remain on our guard."
"While DHS and FBI have no information regarding the timing, location or target of any planned attack, we believe it is prudent to remind transit authorities to remain vigilant," Homeland Security spokesman Sean Smith said Monday night.
Separately, law enforcement officials said a Colorado man may have been planning with others to detonate backpack bombs on New York City trains in a terrorism plot similar to past attacks on London's and Madrid's mass-transit systems.
The investigation and the earlier warning about mass transit system have already prompted officials around the nation to step up patrols.
Two law enforcement officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of the investigation told The Associated Press late Monday that more than a half-dozen individuals were being scrutinized in the alleged plot.
In a statement, the FBI says that "several individuals in the United States, Pakistan and elsewhere" are being investigated.
Investigators say Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old Afghanistan-born immigrant who is a shuttle van driver at the Denver airport, played a direct role in the terror plot that unraveled after an overnight 1,600-mile trip from Denver to New York City around the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. He made his first court appearance Monday and remains behind bars.
Zazi and two other defendants have not been charged with any terrorism counts, only the relatively minor offense of lying to the government. But the case could grow to include more serious charges as the investigation proceeds.
Backpacks and cell phones were seized last week from apartments in Queens, where Zazi visited.
Zazi has publicly denied being involved in a terror plot, and defense lawyer Arthur Folsom dismissed as "rumor" any notion that his client played a crucial role.
Publicly, law enforcement officials have repeatedly said they are unaware of a specific time or target for any attacks. Privately, officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case said investigators have worried most about the possible use of backpack bombs on New York City trains, similar to attacks carried out in London in 2005 and Madrid in 2004.
Backpack bombs ripped apart four commuter trains and killed 191 people in Madrid on March 11, 2004. On July 7 the next year, bombing attacks in London killed 52 subway and bus commuters.
D.C.'s transit agency increased uniformed patrols around the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as it does every year but hasn't elevated security following reports of the plot, and no random bag searches are planned.
"We have no specific information from intelligence sources that would lead us to believe there is a threat to our system at this time, yet MTPD officers remain vigilant," said Metro Transit Police Chief Michael A. Taborn.

Read My Lips – The Federal Reserve will not monetize the debt!
Private Federal Bank Fraud to Spend US into Third World Nation
State of the US Economy, Jun 3, 2009 – House Committee Budget
C-Span – http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/286792-1
Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke testified about the state of the U.S. economy and challenges to future growth in the economy. In his remarks he said the U.S. would see mild economic growth later in the year. He also told lawmakers the Federal Reserve would not accommodate higher budget deficits by simply printing money. Additionally, he said the labor market was expected to remain weak for some time and that inflation should stay under control.
On June 3, 2009 Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed would not monetize our debt. On November 3, 2010, the Fed announced the printing of $600-900 billion in new currency to directly purchase bonds/debt. The current world money supply of US dollars in circulation is $800 billion. The Fed just said it is going to double that. Printing money to buy debt is "monetizing the debt."
According to Bernanke we are now set for 'very draconian cuts and very large tax increases'.
48:11 Hensarling, Jeb – U.S. Representative, [R] Texas
Jeb Hensarling ; WILL THE FEDERAL RESERVE MONETIZE IN DEBT? FEDERAL RESERVE WILL NO
Ben S. Bernanke: The Federal Reserve will not monetize the debt and I think it's important to point out that notwithstanding our purchases of treasuries as part of a program to strengthen private credit markets even when we complete the 300 billion dollar purchase that we have committed to, we will still hold less treasuries, a smaller volume of treasuries than we had before the crisis began.
Jeb Hensarling : IF THE FED WILL NOT MONETIZE THE DEBT AND IF THE CONGRESS REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THE SPENDING CURVE, WHICH WILL AVERAGE ABOUT 23% OF GDP FOR THE NEXT 10 Year that's either going to leave us with a massive tax increase or massive borrowing but yet apparently as we send representative to china to encourage them to continue to buy our debt, hey are shifting to commodities, they are indicating concerns about the level of our debt.
Recently as I believe you know, S&P downgraded UK's Debt on May 21st from stable to negative, so what's going to happen if the US loses it's triple A rating or what happens if we have a 60% tax increase over the next 10 years to deal with this massive infusion of debt.
Ben S. Bernanke: AT SOME POINT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PATH OF SPENDING AND TAXES THAT WILL GIVE YOU A STABILIZATION OF THE DEBT TO GDP RATIO. IF YOU DON'T, THEN FEAR THAT the debt will continue to rise will make it very difficult to finance it. And at some point you will hit a point were you have to have both very draconian cuts and very large tax increases which is not something that we want so in order to avoid that outcome down the road we need to begin now to plan how are going to get the fiscal situation into balance in the medium term.
Fed stimulus, Part 2. Yesterday we had the announcement of more Federal Reserve stimulus, known as "quantitative easing," which dumped another exorbitant amount of money on an already saturated system. Nearly all independent experts agree that this is the death knell of the dollar. The National Inflation Association just released a statement that this move will trigger inflation and starve the middle class. The rest of the world is still weighing in on the global ramifications of such a move to the world's reserve currency. Brazil said that the U.S. fired the gun in the currency war and they are ready to retaliate; China is prepared to set up a firewall against the latest Fed move; and Germany warned of growing protectionism around the globe stemming from the latest U.S. manipulation. Some are now predicting that a bank holiday is imminent, with a likely date set for November 11. Is QE2 the final tipping point toward financial disaster? Or will it weaken resistance against another imminent disaster?

Jiang Zemin at the End of the Line
By Russell Leigh Moses
Just when it looked like Communist Party chief Xi Jinping's efforts at renovating the political system might be walking into a wall, former leader Jiang Zemin's abrupt exit shows that Xi and his allies are kicking open doors for reformers to dance through.
Jiang was seen by some observers as a major kingmaker in the latest leadership transition. Jiang might not have secured the actual membership of the new Party leadership, but it's difficult to imagine him having not signed off on it.
But at the recent funeral for his former nemesis, Yang Baibing, a general who in 1992 tried to organize resistance in the officer corps to his leadership and was subsequently purged, Jiang was suddenly placed at the end of the list of Party leaders who had visited Yang in the hospital or expressed condolences on his death (in Chinese).
State media, normally silent on such matters, stated that Jiang was indeed stepping back from any public role, a move, it said, "reflected the noble character and broad-mindedness" of cadres generally (in Chinese).
Of course, it's possible that Jiang Zemin's physical health might not be as robust as his supporters wish it were. After all, there were all sorts of rumors some time back that he'd already shuffled off the mortal coil.
But is there something else going on with Jiang's exit?
Two alternative scenarios suggest themselves.
One possibility is that Jiang's departure, as one lengthy editorial (in Chinese) frames it, is simply another example of a "smooth transition of power" —- the sort of institutionalization of Chinese politics that it insists "is the cornerstone of recent years of political development," and includes Hu Jintao's stepping down as head of the Central Military Commission.
This is an example of "political stability", says the editorial, a further indication of "Party unity"---the "magical weapon" which has allowed, in recent years, the dual "flourishing of China's economy and social undertakings."
In other words, Jiang's exit represents another instance of a Chinese leader taking the initiative and "looking out for the interests of the Party and the country," by moving aside voluntarily.
In this interpretation, Jiang simply decided to jump on his own.
Maybe. But there's a sharp suddenness to it all, especially as Jiang hadn't previously shown signs of fading from the political limelight. Quite the contrary: Just last month, a new book of his poetry was celebrated at a ceremony in Beijing, as two high-level Party leaders honored him (in Chinese). And a few months before that high-profile event, Jiang's sentiments about an old comrade he worked with in Shanghai received high attention in the Party media (in Chinese).
So here's the other scenario: Jiang was pushed, finally forced to move on by cadres within the Party who became concerned that he might be interested in protecting the achievements of the old guard a bit too strongly.
There's reason to believe the second scenario is the right one.
It's apparent to anyone paying attention that Xi's earnestness about reforming the way Party officials operate — from holding simpler meetings (in Chinese) to writing better speeches and research reports (in Chinese) -- goes beyond moving towards more efficiency in policy-making; he's also conducting raids on the customs and conduct of previous leaders---a form of sabotage of the old.
It would be natural for previous leaders to find such directives -- and the clear support they are receiving from some cadres (in Chinese) -- disquieting. There'd be ample reason to resist, as some conservatives have already clearly started to do.
Reformers, alarmed at the possibility of an alliance between Jiang and his successor Hu Jintao— who hasn't embraced Xi's initiatives any more than Jiang -- may well have pressed Xi to get Jiang to finally step aside, for the sake of the Party moving forward faster.
Jiang's leaving also gives Xi more room to clean house – a task that was the subject of a wide-ranging and widely discussed speech he gave last week (in Chinese).
Addressing the Party's central discipline commission, Xi urged the anti-corruption struggle to be "more scientific and effective", to go after both "tigers" and "flies"—that is, leaders and their subordinates. That's network-smashing stuff, not the series of selective takedowns we've come to expect from Beijing.
There are already clear signals that this clean-up campaign is aimed at something other than the usual settling of political scores. Xi argued, as he has in the past, that "honest government and the fight against corruption is a major task of Party-building"—but this time he added another argument: that "incorruptible government can win the trust of the public…and win hearts and minds."
That tone of that message is distinct from the angst expressed by Hu and others over the imminent threat to the party posed by corruption. Xi is wielding the hammer of populism, reminding cadres that an aggravated public can be mobilized against those parts of the Party who think that a little redecoration can take the place of genuine reform.
No one should mistake the courage here: Xi and his camp are apparently quite unafraid to start taking on an establishment for whom China's huge income gap is seen as something good. Indeed, there are all sorts of signs in the Party media that a big clean-up is starting: from "a declaration of war on extravagance and waste" (in Chinese) to demands that "vested interests" come clean about the property and assets they hold (in Chinese).
Whether Jiang Zemin shuffled away or was shoved aside, he and his allies of that era built an impressive, well-defended edifice of market economics buttressed by old politics.
The question now is how much longer it will last, if the new guard gets its way.

Infamous music pilferer Jammie Thomas-Rasset has had a $2m damages bill for copying 24 songs slashed by a US judge.
Thomas-Rasset will now have to pay $54,000 to the big US music labels, a fraction of the original reward.
She used the Kazaa network to share music and was originally hit with damages of $80,000 for each song. The mum of four became a posterchild for the freetards.
She was the first person taken to court by the Recording Industry Ass. of America for non-commercial sharing, but the long-running case didn't win copyright defenders a lot of friends.
Now the organisation has a problem - it can appeal the reduction in damages but this will push the case back into the headlines. Even if it won the appeal the music industry will probably not get much out of Thomas, who is of limited means.
But continuing to push this case, which started in late 2007, will start to look even more excessive to observers.
Equally Jammie Thomas could choose to appeal the amount, which again risks re-running an argument the music industry can win in court but not in real life. ®

Teen Losing Battle With Cancer Writes Song to Help Say Goodbye [VIDEO]
Looking at Zach Sobiech, you would see him as a typical 17-year-old boy. But Zach isn't like other kids. Zach has an untreatable form of cancer that is going to cut his life short. But instead of weeping and being sad, he is a happy kid living life to the fullest. And he even wrote a song about it.
Zach was diagnosed with steosarcoma in 2009. A rare, cancerous bone tumor, osteosarcoma affects just 800 people each year in the U.S. Since learning of his cancer, Zach has gone through months of chemo, a major hip replacement, various minor surgeries and four lung surgeries.
Zach, who is known for his love of music and guitar, didn't let the news hold him back. He took all of his emotions and thoughts and put them into a song. His song "Clouds" is his way of saying goodbye to his friends and family. In the catchy tune, he sings "And we'll go up, up, up, but I'll fly a little higher. We'll go up in the clouds, because the view is a littler nicer. Up here, my dear. It won't be long now; it won't be long now."

Twitterholic glitch
There seems to be a glitch at Twitterholic.
Twitterholic not only shows top 100 lists by number of friends, followers and updates, but it also shows detailed information for a Twitter user account. The page http://twitterholic.com/twitter/USERACCOUNT contains a graph showing the trend for the number of followers for the previous 30 days and a table showing for the last 30 days the number of followers, friends, updates and favorites.
At this moment date ranges for the graphs start from 03/18, 03/19 or 03/20 and end one month later. It seems that the graphs are not updated any more. This makes the page confusing because the (outdated) graph is not in sync with the (up to date) table below.
Bloggers have found last week another strange phenomenum at Twitterholic, surprising gains of thousands of new followers for some Twitter accounts. This problem was situated at Twitter.com and is solved. Also last week another problem concerning private Twitter accounts being visible in Twittervision and Twittermaps got a lot of publicity, although this problem (or a very similar) was also described in a blog post on this blog a few weeks ago. This problem was caused by Twittervision and is also solved by now (see explanation by the guys from Twitter themselves).
How long will it take for the next problem in Twitter or in one of the popular tools in the Twitter-world to get noticed ?

A chocolate-wasabi challenge
Last week, I posted a rant about a new Lindt dark chocolate bar made with wasabi. I compared its flavor to "a Band-Aid with mustard" and posed the question: "Could there be any reason on earth to combine chocolate with wasabi, a root whose flavor is somewhere between horseradish and mustard?"
"I believe so," came an emailed response from Darren Polish, president of the Los Angeles-based company Chocwasabi. "I would like to send you a sample of our product to see if there is any hope of a positive response from your taste buds. Many people find our chocolate covered wasabi peas 'highly addictive.' "
"Bring it on," I wrote back.
And Polish did, sending the samples of his product pictured above. While I didn't find these little balls habit-forming, they were admittedly lots less offensive than that Lindt bar. They had the crunch of a malt ball, with a subtle kick.
Even so, I prefer my wasabi on a plate of sushi.
If the chocolate-wasabi union intrigues you, visit Chocwasabi's website. Available in both milk and dark chocolate, a 6-ounce package sells for $4.49; a 13-ounce package for $8.49.

Stack Rocks is a small island a mere 500 yards off the southern side of St Brides Bay, where the coast turns south-west towards the little beach at St Brides Haven.
Due north of Mill Haven, the geologist would see it simply as a pyramidal chunk of Pre-Cambrian igneous rock sticking out of the sea, which would have been a tor on the landscape before the sea levels rose millennia ago. On the nearby mainland cliffs are other examples of glacial geology, including the junction of the Pre-Cambrian with the Old Red Sandstone at the northern end of the Iron Age Fort overlooking Mill Haven and Foxes Holes. This border is clearly marked by a change in the colour of the surface of the coastal footpath from red to brown. Looking north-east the hard, irregular Pre-Cambrians rise high above the flat-topped Old Red Sandstone, with rocks dominating the landscape, Stack Rocks being one of the most prominent. And further down on the southern side of inaccessible Warey Haven cove are grey igneous blocks protruding from the clifftop, which are classic examples of 'glacial head' caused by the melting ice of a huge glacier. Nearby is a fine-grained grey, near-granite block split in two and dropped from the ice, another example of glacial action.
To the present-day walker along the National Park Coastal Footpath, which traverses the entire 170-mile coastal circuit of Pembrokeshire from St Dogmaels in the north to Amroth on the Carmarthenshire border, Stack Rocks are simply another picturesque feature to be seen along the way. With a crown of gale-contorted gorse and a few tufts of thrift and sea campion it is quite colourful in spring time, when it is also occupied by a few cliff-nesting seabirds. There is usually the odd cormorant around, fishing in the deep water beneath the cliffs, and the occasional seal peeping above the surface at the passer-by on the footpath.
The locals like to fish around the Stack, some as a leisure time activity when there are mackerel and seabass about, others as a means of income, for lobster and crab thrive on the rocky seabed in the Bay.
Few people go ashore on the Stack, for there is no water there and no shelter, but a few years ago two intrepid local men, one of them a National Park Warden, decided to see how long they could survive there. They lasted a week or so before their water bottles ran dry. Little wonder, then, that there is no evidence of habitation; no promontory fort and no legend of Celtic monk or saint.
Apart from the wildlife, the only company nowadays would be the supertankers which use this side of the Bay as an anchorage as they await the availability of a berth on one of the terminals along the shores of Milford Haven Waterway. There are often up to seven or eight large vessels riding there.

"Trophy Wife" celebrity cast members Marcia Gay Harden and Michaela Watkins gave LASplash an exclusive interview."Trophy Wife" is on ABC, Tuesday at 9:30 PM ET
Pete believes the third time is a charm. He has a new, young blonde Trophy Wife played by Malin Ackerman. Pete, played by Bradley Whitford meets a party girl, Kate when she breaks his nose with a karaoke mike. Pete sees stars and fireworks. Kate not only gets an older husband, but a pre-made family with three children.
Marcia Gay Harden plays ex-wife number 1, an ex-Olympic athlete and very type A personality doctor who only believes in perfection, no exceptions. Nancy gets contacted by her young son, Warren's teacher. She calls her into school and reads Warren's story of a hot girl's grapefruits and sexy ankle tattoo, Nancy is horrified and immediately believes Kate is a succubus who seduced her innocent child.
Here's a sneak peek from tonight's Trophy Wife, the kids spill salsa on her sofa and lied to her about it so she punishes them by making them watch "La Bamba' on DVD. I asked Marcia since they spilled salsa they are being punished with "La Bamba" does that mean if they spilled Tomato sauce they would have to watch "The Sopranos"? Marcia said, "no a spaghetti Western".
Michaela plays Jackie, Pete's 2nd ex-wife who lives with her one adopted Asian son, Henry. He is her whole world. She is a New Age Yoga enthusiast who grows her own organic bean sprouts. Jackie is at the soccer game, but cannot stay, because her Tai Chi class is having a bar crawl. She is very nervous about trusting her only child with Kate, who has no mothering experience. She tells Kate that half the team can't eat peanuts and the other have can only eat peanuts. Kate says she only brought oranges and water, but Jackie claims that one child can't eat oranges and another boy can't drink anything, because he is overhydrated.
