Pentagon eyeing immigrants who arrived illegally
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is weighing allowing some immigrants brought illegally to the country as youths to serve in the military, a unilateral step by the Obama administration as immigration legislation remains stalled in the Republican-led House.
The announcement came Tuesday as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, defended his election-year decision to rebuff a narrow immigration measure pushed by a GOP congressman to achieve a similar goal.
The Pentagon consideration would apply to immigrants who arrived illegally as kids but already have received work permits and relief from deportation under a program President Barack Obama announced two years ago, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. More than 500,000 immigrants have benefited from the program.
The Defense Department "continues to examine the laws and policies that address the eligibility of noncitizens to serve in the military in order to determine if and how our programs could be applied to DACA recipients," Pentagon spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen said in a statement.
Such a move by the Pentagon would be the latest example of the Obama administration taking incremental steps by executive action on immigration with comprehensive overhaul legislation stuck in the GOP-led House 11 months after passage by the Senate. Obama is coming under pressure to make broader moves on executive action as the likelihood grows that the House will not pass any immigration bill this year.
Tuesday's developments provided further evidence of the slim chances of House action, as Boehner moved to shut down the likeliest area of compromise on the contentious issue.
Boehner told reporters that a national defense bill was not the place for a vote on California Rep. Jeff Denham's measure offering citizenship to immigrants here illegally who serve.
"We have supported it in the past but trying to do this on the national defense authorization bill seems to us be an inappropriate place to do it," Boehner said. He said there had been discussions about allowing Denham a stand-alone vote on his bill but no decision had been made.
Despite the opposition, Denham testified before the House Rules Committee several hours after Boehner spoke, asking lawmakers to allow his amendment to come to a vote.
"There is no better way to show your patriotism, your commitment, your sacrifice and the willingness to earn that citizenship than being able to serve in our military," Denham said.
But House leaders, who control the Rules Committee, made clear that Denham's effort would be denied.
Denham's bill would allow immigrants who were brought to this country on or before Dec. 31, 2011, and were younger than 15 years old to become legal, permanent residents — the first step toward citizenship — through honorable service in the military. It would apply to a broader group of people than those who've received deferred action from the Obama administration, but Denham told reporters he would welcome any move by the Pentagon on its own.
Denham's bill was co-sponsored by 50 House members, Democrats and Republicans, but an outspoken minority was opposed. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., warned that "all hell will break loose" if Denham tried to promote the measure. A spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., made clear last week that the GOP leadership would block a vote on Denham bill. Cantor faces a primary opponent in June who's accused him of supporting amnesty.

A Palestinian woman allegedly detonated a car bomb near al-Zayim checkpoint on the road to Jerusalem Sunday morning, injuring herself and one Israeli police officer.
The vehicle the woman was driving in was reportedly pulled over by Israeli forces as she was driving in a lane reserved for buses and cars carrying multiple passengers.
The woman allegedly exited her vehicle, shouted "allahu akhbar" and detonated an explosive device.
The Palestinian woman, identified as a 31 year old resident of Jericho, is being treated for moderate wounds, and an Israeli police officer for light wounds.
The al-Zayim checkpoint was closed following the incident.
Ma'an News Agency reports that a Palestinian eyewitness countered the report made by Israeli authorities. The witness claimed that the woman had a child in the car with her, and that a small fire was started inside the vehicle due to electrical problems.
The witness also observed that the woman started to scream in panic, but Israeli forces prevented her from exiting the car.
Initial investigations into the incident allegedly uncovered unexploded gas canisters in the car, which could have caused much greater damage.
According to The Jerusalem Post, a military source stated that the woman may be a part of a cell planning to carry out further attacks.
The Israel Police Foreign Press Spokesman has lauded the police officer on the scene for preventing the woman from reaching Jerusalem.
Six knife attacks have taken place in Jerusalem in the past week, leading Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reinforce police units across the city, stating that "a reinforced presence is a preventive and deterrent measure that assists in maintaining order."

Post subject: The amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush
Hi there.
I wanted to comment on the liver and gallbladder cleanse, as explained by Andreas Moritz in his books "The amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush", and "Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation".
I have been doing this cleanse for the last 4 months, once every 3 weeks.
I find no words to express how important has it been to my health and to my transition to inedia. I'll try to share my experience with you.
Since the first cleanse, I have passed out large amounts of "sand", hundreds (yes, hundreds) of small, lentille sized stones, dozens of olive sized stones, and three or four rocks about one inch across! And I am still passing more stones... I wonder how my liver could work with so much dirt in it.
Regarding my health, well... I think it just saved my life. Really.
Prior to the cleanse, I couldn't eat anything without experiencing pain in my intestines and bowel. At first, I thought I had colon cancer or something like that. The solution to me was obvious: fasting, or a diet of fruits or liquids. But even that was too hard to maintain precisely due to the stones in my liver. Everytime I tried a fast, I started feeling an acute pain in my right side, and I felt very very bad. I mean, a fast is hard for everybody, but to me it was just like hell. I guess it was the body trying to get rid of the stones.
But eating again was very painful too. I was just so f##### up. I tought I was dying of cancer and I couldn't do anything about it.
But this book of Andreas Moritz fell to my hands like a blessing. It was god send. Just after the first cleanse, I realized that my problem was not cancer, but just liver stones. My liver and gallbladder were so blocked that I was at the edge of a liver failure and couldn't digest almost anything.
Now, after 5 sessions, my health has improved a lot. I feel like I am out of the "dangerous zone".
As you can imagine, I recommend this cleanse to everybody. It's very easy to perform, and it's just amazing. I wonder why it's so little known by the general public.
BTW I am glad to be here again after so many months without writing. I salute you all and wish you the best.

雅思阅读考试: Runaway Devils Lake
http://en.eol.cn 来源: 作者:网络 2014-03-12 大 中 小
雅思阅读: Runaway Devils Lake
Devils Lake is where I began my career as a limnologist in 1964, studying the lake's neotenic salamanders and chironomids, or midge flies. Back then, the lake covered about 80 square kilometers, had a maximum depth of about 3 meters and held about 130,000 acre-feet of water. The lake has since risen 13 meters, from a surface elevation of 430 meters above mean sea level to 443 meters. Estimated lake volume is now 4.1 million acre-feet, or about 32 times greater than it was in 1964, and about 370 times greater than it was in 1940 when the lake stood at a record low elevation of 427 meters.
The Devils Lake Basin is an endorheic, or closed, basin covering about 9,800 square kilometers in northeastern North Dakota. The basin is at the epicenter of an unprecedented wet period in the lake's modern-day history going back to 1867, when the lake's surface elevation was first measured. Basin climate has become substantially wetter since 1990, with the years 1990 through 2009 ranking as the wettest 20-year period in more than a century. The National Weather Service has referred to this trend as "the new climate" for the Devils Lake region, cautiously predicting that the current weather pattern may continue for several decades and possibly intensify. Indeed, the agency has warned that the region faces the strong possibility of an "unprecedented fourth consecutive major spring flood threat in 2012."
Rising lake waters have flooded much of the region, engulfing hundreds of homes and farmsteads, more than 650 square kilometers of productive farmland, major highways and bridges, state parks, Native American tribal lands, historical landmarks and more than half a million trees. Submerged too is the North Dakota Biological Station, a two-story limnological facility established in 1909 to study the lake's unusual ecology and biogeochemistry. Portions of U.S. Highway 281 are now underwater, which has forced the relocation of this principal north-south highway several kilometers to the west. Other roads and highways are either extremely hazardous or simply impassable because of encroaching floodwaters. Amtrak and the BNSF Railway may have to reroute their trains over more southern lines as rising waters threaten to wash out roadbeds and bridges. The small town of Minnewaukan, once located 13 kilometers west of the lake, is now partly underwater, and many of its 300-plus residents have been forced to abandon their homes. Only a handful of people remain in Churchs Ferry and nearby Penn, communities established more than a century ago. The city of Devils Lake, North Dakota's eleventh largest city with about 7,000 residents, sits behind a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers levee that protects the community from storm-generated waves that reportedly reach 2 meters or more in height. Without the levee, 3 to 4 meters of water would now cover parts of the city. To date, efforts by federal, state and local governments to control flooding and protect communities exceed $1 billion, a cost that is rising as fatefully as lake waters.

Many people equate electric vehicles with glorified golf carts, and I've long considered it a professional duty to prove them wrong. It's rather addicting, especially when it means driving something like the Yokohama HER-02 EV Sports Concept. Holy hell, this little rocket goes like the devil.
But then, it's supposed to. The HER-02 has won the exhibition class of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb two years running. Ikuo Hanawa made the 12.4-mile sprint in a blistering 12 minutes and 20 seconds in June. That's faster than most of his gas-burning competitors and less than 2.5 minutes behind overall winner Nobuhiro Takima.
What was that you said about golf carts?
Someone at Yokohama thought it would be fun to have Wired.com's Autopia take the HER-02 for a spin. There was a catch: Hanawa is tiny, so Wired needed someone smaller than 5 feet 8 inches tall and less than 145 pounds to fit in the car. I was nearly giddy to discover having an inappropriate love of speed and being small enough to wear my kid's clothes has certain advantages.
Alas, Yokohama wasn't about to turn us loose on Pikes Peak, so we had to settle for an autocross course set up outside Angel Stadium. Yokohama makes tires, and it rented the place for some dealer demo event. Dozens of guys were tearing around in Ford Mustangs, doing their best to shred Yokohama's products. When they weren't sliding around the asphalt, they were craning their necks to check out the blue and white EV ripping up the course.
It's no surprise Summit Motorsports, which built the car, tapped AC Propulsion to develop the powertrain. The SoCal company has had a hand in just about every EV that even remotely hinted at performance, including the Tesla Roadster (the initial drivetrain was licensed from ACP) and the delightfully crazy Wrightspeed X1. AC Propulsion also did the drivetrain in the Mini E, which doesn't look terribly sporting but did lap the Nurburgring.
The HER-02 features essentially the same drivetrain as the Mini E. The AC-180 motor is good for 200 kilowatts, or roughly 268 horsepower. AC Propulsion milled cooling ducts into the motor housing to ensure max output without overheating, especially important under the continuous load of an uphill climb. But it isn't the horsepower that impresses, it's the torque. A glorious 258 pound-feet is there the moment you hit the accelerator, requiring abs of steel to peel yourself from the Recaro seat.
Although the HER-02 shares its drivetrain with the Mini E, it is about 700 pounds lighter (roughly 2,500 pounds) and a foot shorter, so the cars aren't in the same league performance-wise. This little racer accelerates like the first-gen Tesla Roadster.
The 37 kilowatt-hour battery pack is comprised of 6,656 Sanyo cylindrical lithium-ion cells. It straddles the car's tubular space frame, contributing to a subterranean center of gravity and confident handling. The kart-like racer held the road as if magnetically attached during Hanawa's eyebrow-raising demonstration lap. It had me jonesing to get in.
After a lesson in the human origami required to fold myself into the open cockpit, I donned my helmet, climbed in, and channeled my inner Stig.
The aural experience of driving the HER-02 matches the visceral one. The course's opening straight all but begged for wide-open throttle, which made the AC motor squeal in delight - though I concede some of that might have been me. A lot of people think EVs are totally silent, but the fun ones rarely are. Being perched almost atop the motor in this little rocket fills the cabin with a futuristic whine that sounds like a small plane taking off — which, by the way, isn't far from what the acceleration feels like.
The diminutive size of the car, coupled with the rush of air through the open cabin, only accentuates the butterfly-inducing velocity, which matches that of many high-end sports cars, not to mention roller coasters. It lacks the aggressive rumble of the Cadillac CTS-V or the explosive thrust of the Nissan GT-R, but it feels faster than either car and is equally exciting to drive.
I'd been warned that the HER-02 doesn't have power steering, but I found the car rather nimble and certainly no stiffer than a Roadster. All that torque makes the back end a bit squirrely if you aren't careful, though. I slid deeply into the first turn after failing to scrub off enough speed and spun the car 270 degrees, but some firm countersteering easily unwound the car with a satisfying screech and a cloud of white tire smoke.
I later realized that, although the car does not have regenerative braking so as to avoid generating excess heat, you can adjust the brake bias. Tweaking it helped keep the rear end in line, but having it break loose was so much fun I did it a few more times. I may have to take up drifting.
While the HER-02 feels light and nimble in the straights, all that battery weight adds heft in a curves. An assertive driver will still find the handling to be taut but agile, and the car unflappable through the corners and the requisite slalom course. Driving the HER-02 was reminiscent of operating a really fast RC car, but from inside.
It's a shame that the course was much too small for me to experience the HER-02's top speed of 155 mph, though the vehicle team guessed I hit at least 80 mph. Not bad for a parking lot. But the sheer acceleration alone was sufficient to get my adrenaline fix.
As for those guys in their Mustangs, I'm sure they had some fun, too. But I don't doubt that I got the better end of the deal.

It depends on the direction of the nail ridges.
Vertical nail ridges, which are fairly common, extend from the cuticle to the tip of your nail. They often become more numerous or prominent with age, possibly due to variations in cell turnover within your nail.
If your fingernails change color or you develop horizontal nail ridges across your nails, talk to your doctor. These changes could indicate an underlying health condition.

In 2012, the Antitrust Division (Division) of the U.S. Department of Justice won several significant convictions, both at trial and through guilty pleas, while the merger enforcement efforts of the Division and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) blocked or modified a handful of transactions. Elsewhere, the European Commission's (EC's) cartel program continued unabated, while the EC blocked one of the most closely watched mergers of the year.
Criminal Cases and Investigations
- TFT-LCD Price-Fixing Trial: After an eight-week jury trial, the Division obtained price-fixing convictions against AU Optronics, a Taiwanese LCD manufacturer; its U.S. subsidiary; and two of its senior executives. Judge Susan Illston of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California subsequently levied a $500 million fine against the company, the largest antitrust fine imposed since Hoffmann La Roche pleaded guilty to fixing the price of numerous vitamins in 1999.
- Automobile Parts Investigation: The Division continues to investigate and prosecute corporate and individual defendants as part of its ongoing investigation into alleged bid rigging and price fixing in the automobile parts industry. Eight corporate defendants and 12 executives agreed to plead guilty to criminal antitrust charges in 2012. A ninth corporate defendant had previously pled guilty in 2011.
- Municipal Bond Investigation: In 2012, the Division's multiyear investigation into alleged bid rigging in the municipal bonds derivatives market resulted in three individuals pleading guilty to Sherman Act violations and six more being convicted at trial for wire fraud and conspiracy charges related to alleged bid rigging in the market for municipal bond contracts and derivatives. A total of 19 current and former executives and one corporate defendant have pleaded guilty or been convicted of charges related to the investigation.
Civil Cases
- Apple/E-Book Publisher Litigation: The Division filed suit against five of the largest book publishers for allegedly conspiring to reduce competition in the market for e-books. The allegations arose out of bilateral agreements between Apple and the publishers that adopted an agency pricing model, under which Apple received "most-favored nation" status for e-book prices. Four of the publishers subsequently reached settlements with the DOJ in which they agreed to (1) terminate their agreements with Apple and (2) not enter into any agreements constraining retailers' pricing discretion for at least two years. The DOJ is still litigating the case against the other publisher.
- FTC v. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled against the FTC in its latest challenge to so-called "reverse payment" or "pay for delay" settlements in the pharmaceutical industry. Under the standard adopted by the Eleventh Circuit, reverse payment settlements are presumptively legal under the antitrust laws as long as the resulting period of exclusion is narrower in breadth and/or shorter in duration than that granted by the presumptively legitimate patents. The Eleventh Circuit's decision is unlikely to be the last word on this matter because the U.S. Supreme Court has granted certiorari in the case.[1]
- Credit Card Interchange Fee Settlement: Visa Inc., MasterCard Inc., and several large banks reached a tentative $7.2 billion settlement with retailers to settle a long-running antitrust case alleging that the credit card companies and banks conspired to fix the price of "swipe fees" that retailers paid for each transaction. If the settlement receives final approval from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, it will be the largest antitrust settlement in history.
Mergers and Acquisitions
- 3M and Avery Dennison: 3M Company, maker of the ubiquitous Post-it® Note, shelved its plan to acquire label maker Avery Dennison's office and consumer products division in light of threatened litigation by the Antitrust Division. 3M had offered $550 million for the division. According to the Division, the two companies directly compete in the market for consumer and business labels, and the proposed merger would have resulted in 3M's controlling 80% of the market for labels and sticky notes.
- Integrated Device Technology and PLX Technology: The FTC filed an administrative complaint seeking to enjoin the merger of two electronic component manufacturers. According to the FTC, the $330 million merger would have limited competition in the market for PCIe switches, which are used in a variety of consumer electronics and computers. The two companies subsequently abandoned the transaction.
- Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext: The EC blocked Deutsche Boerse's $9.5 billion acquisition of NYSE Euronext. According to the EC, the merged company would have a near monopoly in European derivatives traded on financial exchanges. The parties claimed that the EC relied upon an unrealistic and narrow definition of the market for derivatives. Although the parties abandoned the transaction, Deutsche Boerse has appealed to the European Court of Justice.

In other words, is the game dead? I'm thinking of getting it when I get my new laptop, it sounds like a great text based mmorpg from what I've read on wiki. The only reason i want to play it is because it's made by Seth
If anyone would mind playing the game and give me feedback i would appreciate it soo much! You'll have to download the game and it's only for pc.
Here's the link to where you can get it:

Taming frizzy, unruly, poofy hair is a life-long quest for many women, especially in damp and humid climates. Just ask female Torontonians in the middle of July.
Straighteners and relaxers are not new to the beauty industry, but in the past they have been very intense and full of chemicals. Although the results from last year's breakthrough Keratin treatment, The Brazilian Blowout, were amazing, the product was later pulled from Canadian and European markets due to unacceptable levels of formaldehyde compromising the health of consumers and stylists applying the treatment over a long period of time.
Four months later, there is now a formaldehyde-free Keratin formula promising to grant the wishes of the frizzy haired. Dióra Professionnel has introduced their Keratherapy line of treatments and products as a safe alternative to traditional keratin treatments. Keratherapy is free of formaldehyde, urea, aldehydes and other harsh chemicals and is in compliance with The European Union, Canadian and other international health and safety regulations worldwide.
It boasts a formula that is derived from a blend of orange peel oil and Natural Certified Organic ingredients including: jojoba oil; aloe vera; green tea; and pomegranate and marigold extracts. The products also use Moroccan argan oil, pure keratin, collagen, amino acids and proteins to rebuild, and add strength and elasticity to the hair.
Although Dióra calls this "the evolution of brazilian keratin," the Keratherapy available in Canada is not a straightening treatment like the Brazilian Blowout. Its results can't be compared to the old Keratin treatments that contained formaldehyde, or even the Intense Renewal Keratherapy treatment that is only available in the States; it will not eliminate curls or waves in the hair. It will, however, smooth, tame and de-frizz unruly hair for up to 12 weeks and the treatment reduces drying time in half. It can be used on coloured or highlighted hair and it, in fact, helps to lock in the colour and extend the vibrancy of blonde or "high fashion" shades.
At Haartek, the whole procedure takes about two hours and you can't wash or put any product in your hair for 48 hours. Dióra offers a Keratin Infused Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner that is free of sulfates, parabens, sodium chloride, propylene glycol, DEA and TEA, but any shampoo or conditioner that is sulfate free, like Kevin Murphy or Eufora, is safe to use after the treatment.
If you're interested in getting any kind of straightening or de-frizzing treatment done, it's best to consult with your stylist to see which is the right one for you.
But to all my fellow frizzy-haired friends, at least we know there are options out there that can help solve our dilemma, even just temporarily… 'cos shaving my hair off is just not an option – my head is far too big.

DiS's epic rundown of Glastonbury 2009 rolls on to the Saturday - go here to read about Friday, and here for plucky little cousin Thursday.
It would be both difficult and tedious to communicate how monumentally awful DiS feels when a blithely vengeful sun chucks pretty much everything it has at us at 9am. Let us just say that if you spend three days at a festival, cap the third off by guzzling a drink known only as 'medicine' for several hours (Shangri-La veterans may understand), combine with various other toxic items, get more or less set fire to two hours after bedtime, and be left with the full knowledge you still have two more days of this shit, it basically isn't very nice.
Wander in a bleary daze to see Tinariwen, who have the temerity to remain in their full Tuareg robes. I mean, come on: the Sahara no way gets as hot as 27 degrees. Um, does it? Anyway, DiS is really not in a state to concentrate too hard on their dreamy desert blues, but maybe that's perfect, the mind getting lost in the music's spiralling heat haze. Not left with memories of many hooks, but most certainly an urge to hear MORE.
Can't say the same for Eagles Of Death Metal - some riffs chug over the scorched plain that is the space in front of the Pyramid Stage, but it's hard to really connect them to Jesse Hughes' moustache waggling yee-haw antics. Remember being fairly bowled over by similar shtick at Leeds two years ago – conceivably that's a better forum for their semi-serious semi-metal than Glastonbury, given it's not really a festival given to hosting the music they're sort of sending up.
Logically Spinal Tap should balls up for exactly the same reason, but let's be honest: firstly, so beloved is This Is Spinal Tap that they could probably play 'Jazz Odyssey' at full length and we'd be delighted, and two, an actual Tap concert brings home the fact that hard rock was really only one of the film's many targets – everything from Merseybeat spoof 'Gimme Some Money' to showtune 'Saucy Jack' is gleefully brought to the fore this afternoon. Aside from a bargain basement recreation of the 'Stonehenge' scene and David St Hubbins' quip that "it's no exaggeration that without Michael Jackson, there would have been no Spinal Tap", it's kind of hard to really say that anything particularly funny happens, but maybe the band's dirty little secret is that real or no, they're actually pretty good songwriters – 'Big Bottom' in particular is ridiculously anthemic, its simple, dumb, declaration of fondness for junk in the trunk a joy to sing along to, not least thanks to a Mr Jarvis Cocker, stepping in for some cheeky bass duties.
If there is a more enthusiastic man on the planet than Dizzee Rascal DiS probably doesn't want to meet him, as we'd probably just punch him in the face screaming "what have you got to be so fucking happy about?" As it is, Dizzee's almost supernatural ebullience could probably make you forget you had just minutes to live, let alone sleep deprivation and a bit of a hangover. The first half of his set is particularly breathtaking, most notably a rewired version of The Ting Tings' 'That's Not My Name', a freestyle battle over MIA's 'Paper Planes' with, um, some dude (DiS is reasonably certain it's one of N*E*R*D), an old skool 'which side of the crowd can shout louder' contest... man it's fun. A Michael Jackson homage that simply involves the DJ playing the intro to some songs off Thriller is lame, and the second half is dominated by ultra-populist new stuff that doesn't really stand up to his Boy In Da Corner days, but it's really very enjoyable. The cherry on the cake? The lack of a Calvin Harris cameo, thank fuck.
Crosby, Stills & Nash look like such nice old men... DiS sort of want to run up to the stage screaming "will you be my granddads?". It's hard to exactly be reduced to paroxysms of astonishment by their uber gentle ways - not least because of the astonishing fireshow put on by their wayward sometime colleague Neil Young last night - but their honeyed harmonies, archaic-anywhere-but-Glastonbury hippie sentiments, and a frankly delightful cover of the Stones' 'Ruby Tuesday' help us slip comfortably into the early evening.
Which is just as well, seeing as how immediately beforehand DiS' phone burped up a text from Sean stating Bruce Springsteen was onstage with The Gaslight Anthem. Tried to hotfoot it over, but was unfortunately eating a delicious halloumi cone on the other side of the site. Oh well. On a sidenote – good food this year.
Go and sprawl in The Park for a few hours, palsied constitution finally agreeing to accept some alcohol. Hits us that The Park – with its hip indie band and quirky folk act music policy, Bimble Inn, Rabbit Hole, giant flowers and assorted wacky sundries – is basically just Bestival in miniature. Not saying it's a rip-off (Bestival owes far more to Glasto) but there's a fair dollop of déjà vu. Also a pinch of fear – what the shuddering fuck was that sand sculpture of Michael and Emily Eavis about? Genuine concerns that it'll haunt me to the grave.
Anyway, time for another set of no-longer-a-surprise guests: Klaxons. They're clearly having an enormous amount of fun, and have also taken to trouble to dress up as characters from Tim Burton films (Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and the Hessian Horseman from Sleepy Hollow). Which is cool, and enjoyable, and I really wish I could bottle the feeling of sitting on a beautiful green hill under a perfect blue sky, with 'Golden Scans', 'Magick' et al pouring out tunefully... and yet it all feels a bit slight, just perky, pleasant pop that now feels fairly unremarkable where once it embodied some sort of zeitgeist. New songs may or may not get played – have a problem remembering what any of the Myths Of The Near Future album tracks sound like now – but certainly the allegedly wildly uncommercial deep psyche of their rejected second set appears not to get an airing.
And then it is time for Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. So many, many words have been written about their live show over the years that it's kind of hard to know what to say – The Boss is an immaculately preserved human dynamo, a charisma-blasting Dorian Gray to his rather more portrait-like band. He runs. He jumps. He pulls a sex face when he solos. (He solos often). He adopts a PT Barnum-style mad huckster persona while addressing the crowd ("you've just seen the hard-rocking, Viagra-taking, heart-stopping and history-making E! Street! Band!"). He doesn't so much crowd surf as apparently just walk on top of the audience, or at least that's how it looks from where we're standing (not too far back, but far enough we have to use the big screens due to the profligacy of arseholes with 20ft flagpoles standing right at the front – some twat with a Man U banner is going DOWN if I a) ever meet him and b) he's quite a lot smaller than I expect). It's astonishing, stadium rock actually turned into a force for good.
Or at least, that's how it feels as a Boss fan, an expansive set that sweeps fiery eyed between Born To Run's 'Thunder Road' and title track, right up to the better bits of this year's Workin' On A Dream, finding plenty of time for 'Badlands', 'Because The Night', 'The River', a titanic, electric 'The Ghost Of Tom Joad' and opening Joe Strummer tribute 'Coma Girl'. If – like some of DiS's friends – you're not a Boss devotee, you can kind of see why it was gruelling at times, given he doesn't go out of his way to crowbar in some better-known songs. Still, by the time the official curfew has been thoroughly disregarded (Bruce: "Hey Steve – if it ain't curfew time, what time is it?; him out of The Sopranos: "IT'S BOSS TIME!") there's very few souls in the field not completely overridden by the triple closing whammy of 'American Land', 'Glory Days' and 'Dancing In The Dark'. Astonishing, and for another 24 or so hours DiS is thoroughly convinced nothing is going to top that. I think you know who I'm talking about.
Still not feeling astonishingly well, we shuffle off to our spiritual home of Shangri-La to see the Africa Express Soundsystem at Club Da Da. This shit is peculiar. Boggle-eyed gurners stare in wonder and horror at the giant puppets of an African family who strut about the venue, freaking the hell out of basically everyone. It is basically impossible to work out who might actually be on stage, seeing as how it's strewn with moving dummies and a seemingly constant stream of musicians tuning up. So confused that we wonder if the show might not have somehow started, but eventually lights come on, vocals well up, and an almighty polyrhythmic groove gradually seizes hold of our attention and limbs. The MC's continued assertion that this is a two hour set is mildly annoying (yeah, it would have been IF YOU'D NOT STARTED 45 MINUTES LATE), and the onstage sleb count is lower than expected (we count Schlomo and DJ Yoda, no Damon Albarn, no sign of Tinariwen, Baaba Maal), but fairly sure the point of all this is to dance to some good music, and that we do.
Lines of speed are now on rotation, rather amusingly. Sheer tiredness, a hitherto unsuspected sense of restraint, and flashbacks to a teenage amphetamine freakout flutter through DiS's tiny mind, and we instead opt for the kindly offer of a valium and lurch off to an early (well, 4.30ish) bedtime. Good day.

BurdockArctium lappa
• ]]>Cancer?]]>, ]]>Rheumatoid Arthritis]]>
The common burdock, that well-known source of annoying burrs matted in dogs' fur, is also a medicinal herb of considerable reputation. Called gobo in Japan, burdock root is said to be a food that provides deep strengthening to the immune system. In ancient China and India, herbalists used it in the treatment of respiratory infections, abscesses, and joint pain. European physicians of the Middle Ages and later used it to treat cancerous tumors, skin conditions, venereal disease, and bladder and kidney problems.
Burdock was a primary ingredient in the famous (or infamous) Hoxsey cancer treatment. Harry Hoxsey was a former coal miner who parlayed a traditional family remedy for cancer into the largest privately owned cancer treatment center in the world, with branches in 17 states. (It was shut down in the 1950s by the FDA. Harry Hoxsey himself subsequently died of cancer.) Other herbs in his formula included ]]>red clover]]> , poke, prickly ash, ]]>bloodroot]]> , and barberry. Burdock is also found in the famous herbal cancer remedy Essiac.
Despite this historical enthusiasm, there is no significant evidence that burdock is an effective treatment for cancer or any other illness.
What Is Burdock Used for Today?
Burdock is widely recommended for the relief of dry, scaly skin conditions such as eczema]]> and ]]>psoriasis]]> . It is also used for treating ]]>acne]]> . It can be taken internally as well as applied directly to the skin. Burdock is sometimes recommended for ]]>rheumatoid arthritis]]> . Unfortunately, there is as yet no real scientific evidence for any of these uses.
Safety Issues
As a food commonly eaten in Japan (it is often found in sukiyaki), burdock root is believed to be safe. However, in 1978, the Journal of the American Medical Association caused a brief scare by publishing a report of burdock poisoning. Subsequent investigation showed that the herbal product involved was actually contaminated with the poisonous chemical atropine from an unknown source. 1]]> Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease is not established.

Gonzalez OK with Hudson's frustrations following start
ATLANTA -- Fredi Gonzalez did not have a problem with the frustration Tim Hudson expressed in response to being pulled immediately after surrendering a game-tying, two-run home run in the sixth inning of Saturday's win over the D-backs.
"You don't want stuff like that out open in the press, but Huddy's a hell of a competitor," Gonzalez said. "He's one of the guys that in a battle, in a big game, you want him on the mound. So I'm fine with that."
Hudson was not pleased with Gonzalez's decision to remove him from after A.J. Pollock hit his 100th pitch over the center-field wall to tie the game. The 15-year veteran felt he had earned the right to at least attempt to record the final out and keep himself in line to record what would have been his first win since May 5.
The Braves veteran pitcher has compiled a 4.50 ERA while going winless in his past 10 starts.
"I would have liked the opportunity to have a decision," Hudson said after the Braves' 11-5 win. "A hundred pitches, to me is not really a magic number to take you out of the game. You work real hard the whole game. There's one pitch that a guy puts a good swing on, on a pitch away and ties the game up. Apparently, you need 16 years in the big leagues to get that chance."
"That doesn't bother me," Gonzalez said. "You don't want guys looking in [the dugout] every time, and through our careers, you've seen guys that way. Every time they throw a pitch, they're like, 'Hey, come get me. You got the guy warming up?' That's fine."
Hudson's four earned runs on Saturday were the most the right-hander had given up in June. He had compiled a 1.82 ERA in the previous five starts he had made this month.
"We have to make decisions," Gonzalez said. "Sometimes they're tough decisions, but you want guys that want to pick up the ball and want to be out there, you want position players that are a little beat up, but want to play. Those are the guys you really want, and then you have to make decisions according to that."

MOR Discovery
Explore Yellowstone
A hands-on look at the science and history of Yellowstone in the Martin Children's Discovery Center
A hands-on look at the science and history of Yellowstone in the Martin Children's Discovery Center
One of the Museum's newest exhibitions, the Martin Children's Discovery Center is sure to please learners of all ages. Based on the science in Yellowstone Park and geared towards infants through 8-year-olds, the Center is an excellent introduction to little ones about the wonders of Yellowstone.
Kids can get hands-on here, with a variety of activities from fishing on the fishing bridge to setting up camp or cooking a meal in a miniature version of The Old Faithful Inn.
The science of Yellowstone can be explored through interactive educational tools such as a geyser that kids can pump up themselves, a fire tower equipped with binoculars, and even the sounds and smells one may encounter in the Park.
If you're traveling to Yellowstone Park, this is a great introduction to the whole family.
PLEASE NOTE: There are no geyser eruptions in the Martin Children's Discovery Center between the hours of 10 - Noon daily. This is in consideration of visiting families with small children who may be sensitive to the noise. The Children's Discovery Center is partially staffed to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the room. Staff is not available to watch children in the absence of parents or guardians. Supervision is required for all children.

AT&T to launch Mobile Share data plans on August 23
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Corporate News, Wireless / WiFi
Mobile carriers in the U.S. are finally jumping on board with shared data plans, allowing customers with multiple devices to draw from the same data bucket. Unfortunately, for most of these, it's a horrible deal financially. Still, there are some who'd appreciate this kind of thing, and as such we want to let you know that AT&T will be launching it's shared data plans beginning on August 23rd. You can set up all your devices like smartphones, tablets, gaming devices (like the Playstation Vita,) mobile hotspots, and more to all draw from one bucket of data beginning on that date. AT&T has set up a page where you can calculate what it would cost to add all your devices to a single plan.

Apple HomePod - Smart Speaker & Home Assistant Description
The new sound of home.
HomePod is a powerful speaker that sounds amazing and adapts to wherever it's playing. It's the ultimate music authority, bringing together Apple Music and Siri to learn your taste in music. It's also an intelligent home assistant, capable of handling everyday tasks — and controlling your smart home. HomePod takes the listening experience to a whole new level. And that's just the beginning.
A breakthrough speaker all around.
We completely reimagined how music should sound in the home. HomePod combines Apple-engineered audio technology and advanced software to deliver the highest-fidelity sound throughout the room, anywhere it's placed. This elegantly designed, compact speaker totally rocks the house.
Deep bass. Engineered to lower the boom.
We built the high-excursion woofer with a custom amplifier to play a wide range of deep, rich bass. A powerful motor drives the diaphragm a full 20 mm — remarkable for a speaker this size. Meanwhile, HomePod uses an advanced algorithm that continuously analyzes the music and dynamically tunes the low frequencies for smooth, immersive sound.
Seven tweeters. Amazing sound from every angle.
HomePod has a unique array of seven beamforming tweeters. Each with its own amplifier and transducer. And each custom designed with a precision acoustic horn that focuses sound for tremendous directional control. Creating an all-encompassing sense of space — and consistent, high-fidelity audio everywhere in the room.
A8 chip. The biggest brain ever in a speaker.
An Apple-designed A8 chip powers the most complex audio innovations in HomePod. Like real-time modeling of the woofer mechanics. Buffering that's even faster than real time. Upmixing of both direct and ambient audio. Beamforming so the microphone can hear you over the music. And advanced echo cancellation. So you get amazing sound without even thinking about it.
Beautiful design with a purpose.
HomePod is wrapped in a seamless mesh fabric designed for both aesthetic and acoustic performance. Available in white and space gray, it's gorgeous from every angle — yet virtually transparent to the music. And at just under seven inches tall, it can fit anywhere in your home.
It's easier than easy. It's automatic.
Setting up HomePod is quick and magical. Simply plug it in and your iOS device will detect it. Equipped with spatial awareness, HomePod automatically adjusts to give you optimal sound — wherever it's placed. It can even hear your requests from across the room while loud songs are playing. All you need to do is enjoy your music.
The ultimate music authority.
HomePod is built to bring out the best in Apple Music.1 With the intelligence of Siri and access to virtually all the world's songs, it's like having your very own musicologist who learns and plays what you like, and helps you discover music you love.
Hey Siri, play '90s hip hop
Hey Siri, play The Daily podcast
Hey Siri, play something chill
Responds to your voice. And your touch.
Tap the top of HomePod to play, pause, skip a song, or adjust the volume. Touch and hold the top to talk to Siri. You'll know Siri is listening by the LED waveform that animates with your every word.
Home to an intelligent assistant.
HomePod is great at playing your music. But it can also tell you the latest news, traffic, sports, and weather. Set reminders and tasks. Send messages. Hand off phone calls. And HomePod is a hub for controlling your smart home accessories — from a single light bulb to the whole house — with just your voice.

ROBIN GIVENS AND MEL HARRIS JOIN CAST OF MyNetworkTV's"SAINTS AND SINNERS"
Natalie Martinez of "Fashion House" Also Joins Cast
LOS ANGELES, November 29, 2006 - Actresses Robin Givens and Mel Harris have joined the cast of MyNetworkTV's upcoming serialized drama "Saints and Sinners," scheduled to premiere in 2007. Additionally, Natalie Martinez who appears as Michelle Miller in the network's current series, "Fashion House," is also joining the "Saints and Sinners" cast. The announcements were made today by Paul Buccieri, president, programming, Twentieth Television.
A modern day twist on Romeo and Juliet, "Saints and Sinners" follows two feuding families - the Martins and the Capshaws, owners of rival high-end Miami Beach hotels, whose families have competed and plotted against each other for generations. Their warfare is pushed to new levels when Roman Martin and Julia Capshaw fall in love. Produced by Twentieth Television, "Saints and Sinners" will air 65 hour-long episodes stripped Monday through Friday for 13 consecutive weeks, with recap episodes every Saturday.
"We are thrilled to have these talented actresses joining the cast of 'Saints and Sinners,' said Buccieri. "Both Robin and Mel have a proven record of playing strong women ready to take on any challenge and Natalie has done a terrific job in 'Fashion House' and we're looking forward to working with her again."
Givens will portray Kelly Mitchell, a New York interior designer who develops a crush on Roman, adding him to the long list of men she will go to any length to seduce and conquer, in order to achieve her goal of becoming Miami Beach's hottest hotel designer. Harris joins the cast in the role of Sylvia Capshaw, Julia's loving mother, who although shattered by her husband's murder, isn't afraid to say or do anything to protect both her business and her family. Martinez has been cast in the role of Pilar Martin, Roman's religious sister who innocently falls in love with a mysterious stranger, adding yet another twist to the boiling fight between the Capshaws and Martins.
Robin Givens first made her mark as the beautiful and smart Darlene Merriman on the long-running ABC hit sitcom "Head of the Class." Since then, Givens has gone on to a varied career in both television and film, recently completing production on two upcoming feature films, "Little Hercules in 3-D," starring Elliot Gould and Judd Nelson, and "4-Bidden," featuring Eric Roberts. Other feature credits include, "Head of State," with Chris Rock, Bernie Mac and Keith David; director Reginald Hudlin's "Boomerang," starring Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry, David Alan Grier and Martin Lawrence; and "A Rage in Harlem," with Forest Whitaker, Gregory Hines and Danny Glover. Givens also starred opposite Farrah Fawcett and Melissa Gilbert in the telefilm "Hollywood Wives: The New Generation," based on Jackie Collins' novel, and appeared with Debbie Allen and Ernie Hudson in "Michael Jordan: An American Hero." Additional television credits include roles in "Cosby," "The Cosby Show," "Moesha" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," among others.
Mel Harris is best known for her role as Hope Murdoch Steadman on the critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning series "thirtysomething." Recently, Harris has appeared in guest roles on numerous television series including, "House," "Criminal Minds," "CSI: NY," "Cold Case" and "The West Wing." She also appeared in a recurring role on "Stargate SG-1" and has had roles in numerous made-for-television movies, including "Out of the Woods," "The Retrievers" and "Burden of Proof." Harris can be seen in the upcoming feature films "Arc" and "Purple Heart."
Launched September 5th, 2006 MyNetworkTV is the only primetime general entertainment broadcast television network airing original programming 52 weeks a year. Targeted to Adults 18-49, MyNetworkTV is broadcast television's only all Hi-Definition network and provides twelve hours of serialized original programming Monday through Saturday in 13 week cycles.

Nice close… once again a fake on the move down out of a potential ending diagonal with a last minute save to get back inside. Here's a 5 minute SPX chart showing the move since the 23rd and how it's been 5 pretty clean looking waves up now… The POTENTIAL ending diagonal is in blue. Would not be surprised by a throwover, and note that the 30 and 60 minute stochastics are overbought:
The XLF is interesting today, there's an outside hammer, a potential reversal indicator that would have to be confirmed by lower prices tomorrow. It is well above its 50 and 200dma's which look about to make a golden cross as the SPX just did. Volume is trending down overall, though, just like the broader market:
IYR is another interesting one, failing to get over the 50dma, it produced a black hammer on falling volume. I do expect a low volume week with Friday being a holiday. It's also end of quarter/ end of half which is usually a bullish period – but I wouldn't be long IYR tonight seeing that, will have to look for confirmation tomorrow:
The VIX made a new low but it also made an inverted hammer that is nearly outside. It did close below the lower Bollinger for the third day in a row, and when it does close back above it will produce a buy signal on the VIX which would be a market sell signal. That could easily happen tomorrow if this inverted hammer confirms with a higher VIX/ lower market tomorrow:
That's about all the interesting stuff I see tonight, I'm thinking seasonality does not favor any spectacular declines, but a flat to down market this week would be bearish as it would be against seasonality. I'm personally flat and instead of beating my head and account against a wall may go out and enjoy the summer towards the end of the week like the majority of the sheeple. Of course that may be why they are releasing the employment (or lack thereof) data on Thursday.
Have a great evening,
This update was brought to you by my corporate sponsor Redbull, whose branded helicopter demonstration pilot will now impress you with his reckless helicopter flying, very similarly to the way Bernanke controls his "helicopter drops" and market manipulations. I think I saw a similar maneuver in the last 5 minutes of trading today!
Red Bull Helicopter does back flips!

Rivera's tribute latest, and greatest, of its kind
Mo's moment at Citi Field tops long list of goodbyes produced by All-Star Game
NEW YORK -- No player ever went out in All-Star style like Mariano Rivera.
The 84th All-Star Game will be remembered as the perfect swan song, and it also goes down as the best such exit ever. A day after the Yankees' closer received an unforgettable ovation and a Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award, it was time to look through Major League Baseball history and find any comparable All-Star Game exits for outgoing greats.
Parting 'tis indeed such sweet sorrow. We do not always know when a Joe DiMaggio is going to hang up his cleats or whether a Sandy Koufax will give in to his arm's pain. Babe Ruth hung around too long for an All-Star tribute. It requires a recipe of retirement's foregone conclusion and a beloved legend. While nothing could match "The Mo Game" for such emotional display, there have been some sweet goodbyes in an event that started in 1933.
In 1968, the venue itself was the star as Houston's new Astrodome hosted the Midsummer Classic. But it also was a moment to celebrate Mickey Mantle. In what shaped up as Mantle's last season, the two leagues began a tradition of naming team captains. Mantle (Yankees) was captain of the American League, and Willie Mays (Giants) of the National League.
In the top of the eighth inning, the Mick came up to bat and was given a standing ovation. Ironically, one outgoing New York legend would face an incoming New York legend. Tom Seaver promptly struck Mantle out in the 16th year that the latter graced the event.
Speaking of Mays, fast-forward to 1973. Mays had been the embodiment of the All-Star Game. Coming back from military service for the 1954 season, he was named an All-Star that year and each one after it through 1972, including the doubleheader years. In '73, he was chosen one last time, finally with the Mets. In that game at Kansas City, Mays came up as a pinch-hitter in the seventh to bat for Willie Stargell, one of those stars who had taken over the NL stage.
The Royals fans gave Mays a prolonged standing ovation -- showing the same kind of respect, in fact, that they would show for Miguel Cabrera just last year when he clinched the Triple Crown there. Mays struck out. He walked toward the dugout with a sad visage, but the crowd continued to stand and reinforce baseball's appreciation of a great career.
Rivera was not the first outgoing legend to win the MVP trophy in his last All-Star Game. Cal Ripken Jr. did it in 2001, and that night at Seattle, the most memorable gesture was at the start of the game rather than the end of it. Alex Rodriguez was the AL's starting shortstop, and Ripken was starting at third, having converted from shortstop out of necessity during his career. As the two ran out to take their positions in the first inning, Rodriguez went to third and coaxed Ripken to play short, in deference and respect to the years Ripken had spent there.
At the start of the second inning, the two switched back to their assigned positions. But the point had been made, which was simply to focus attention on the outgoing great. Ripken made the most of that night, homering off Chan Ho Park to open the AL scoring.
"First get put on the pedestal he belonged on by another great player in A-Rod, when A-Rod made him go to shortstop," MLB Network analyst Mitch Williams said. "Then Cal hits a home run in his final All-Star Game. How do you top that?"
Rivera just did. Yet there was another Yankee moment that merits a place here as well.
In 1939, Lou Gehrig was the AL's honorary captain at Yankee Stadium, where the AL won, 3-1, in the seventh edition of the game. A rookie fireballer named Bob Feller escaped a bases-loaded jam and dominated, an example back then of the game's unstoppable transition of power. It was July 11, and exactly one week earlier, the Iron Horse had given his famous "Luckiest Man" speech, having retired after only eight games played that season because of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He died June 2, 1941.
More often than not, future Hall of Famers who were All-Stars in their final seasons had no idea at the time that they were winding down their careers. In 1974, for example, Detroit's Al Kaline was named an All-Star for a 15th season, his last, but it was not a time for choking back tears. He was charging hard at 3,000 hits, a milestone he would reach later that season.
Stan Musial in 1963? It was his 24th and final All-Star outing, but this was not a man who was willingly going into baseball's good night. It was not exactly a year of retirement tributes at each park Musial visited, the kind that Rivera is receiving now, or the kind Chipper Jones experienced just last year.
That kind of "farewell season" mindset can make an All-Star Game much more fun, as the Braves' No. 10 enjoyed last year when he gave a pregame speech to NL teammates, when he was hailed by fans in pregame introductions, and when he hit an RBI single off Chris Sale in his final All-Star at-bat.
"It's a really cool moment," Jones said. "I've said all along through the first half there have been games and moments that couldn't have been scripted any better. Today is one of those games that I will remember fondly when I look back on my last season."
Barry Bonds is worth a mention here, at least for Giants fans. If you were among those at AT&T Park on July 10, 2007, you might have looked past the investigations of steroid abuse and been part of the standing ovation he received in his 14th and final Midsummer Classic. Bonds started in left field for the NL and was 0-for-2. He bowed out that season with 762 home runs.
While we are on the subject of All-Star swan songs, let's not forget 1981. It was the opposite of a Mo Moment. This was a goodbye to a 50-day strike, and a night they welcomed back the game itself. An All-Star Game was played in Cleveland, and all was right with the world again.
