Fox's actioner "Taken 2" won overseas bragging rights for the second consecutive weekend, absconding with $45.1 million over the Oct. 12-14 sesh to lift its international cume to a muscular $134.8 million.
Fox has launched the film in 35 territories, with top two-week results coming from the U.K. (a cume of $23.4 million), followed by South Korea ($14.8 million) and Australia ($13.6 million). The pic's been released in 28 other territories via local distribs, contributing $47.5 million of its offshore gross.
"Taken 2's" overseas domination follows the original's sleeper-hit status in 2010. Still, the sequel figures to be overtaken by the day-and-date bow of "Paranormal Activity 4," which began Oct. 17 in 34 markets.
Still, additional coin for "Taken 2" is mostly gravy. With a worldwide take approaching $225 million (including $89 million and counting domestically), the $45 million sequel is just a shade away from eclipsing its predecessor (a global $226 million).
Other films making headlines overseas included tsunami disaster pic "The Impossible," which scored the highest-ever opening in Spain, with $13.3 million (including sneaks) via Warner Bros. Intl. "Impossible" will bow Stateside Dec. 21 through Summit.
Universal's "Ted," meanwhile, became the highest-grossing original R-rated comedy worldwide, reaching $470 million, to surpass Warner Bros.' "The Hangover" ($467.5 million). "Ted" has performed in the top five internationally consistently for four months, thanks to a steady overseas rollout. U most recently expanded the laffer to France, where it nabbed $3 million, for a solid second-place opening in the territory (American comedies typically see far less in Gaul).
"Ted" rounds out its overseas run in Malaysia, India, Venezuela and Japan.

Benny looked like a goner.
The 8-year-old boxer collapsed at the Biscuits and Bows pet grooming facility in Palatine. He had no pulse and he wasn't breathing.
But thanks to a quick thinking pet massage therapist the pooch will be just fine, according to the Daily Herald.
Laurie Kay administered dog CPR and resuscitated the animal. If you think that's odd, you may be surprised to hear that Kay actually has canine-CPR training.
"Even though I've been trained in CPR for people and for dogs," Kay told the Daily Herald. "I never thought I'd have to use it."
"It was an out-of-body thing. I just did it," Kay says. "Only it was different than in class. In class, we practiced on dog dummies. This was almost like doing it on a person. It was much more intense. I felt like each compression was important."
Kay's partner at the salon, Donna Stepanek, said performing mouth-to-mouth on a slobbery dog is no easy task.
"I had to grab all his jowls and cup my hands completely around his mouth and nose in order for the air to go in," Stepanek said.
Kay and Stepanek kept up the regimen of mouth-to-mouth and 15-chest compression cycles for five minutes before Benny came to.
Benny's owners are ecstatic, but they still have cause for concern. The dog was diagnosed with Boxer cardiomyopathy, a weakened heart, after the incident. His treatment cost $2,000.

Feel sorry for him
Strange to take him off when the game was going to open up.
He is proper cack, hopefully we can get the £5m back we paid for him
It's not someone paying the 5m that will be the problem, he's on a long contract on 120k a week so why would he leave that?It's still early days with him. He is young and clearly struggling to adapt but seems to have the right attitude on the pitch just needs to settle down a bit seems to try to do everything at 100mph. His touch is well off for sure but given the investment in wages and his age hopefully he can develop and be good. Shame we don't have good forward options as that would take some of the pressure of him working out now off him.

After Delta scored on its opening drive to go up 7-0, the visiting Panthers were on the move again Friday night.
However, the hometown senior Tallon Ralstin thwarted Deltas drive when he recovered Zach Deckers fumble at his own 26-yard line.
Montezuma-Cortez High School would drive 74 yards behind quarterback Jonathan Walck and wide receiver Dakota Buddha Goosen.
Walck hit Goosen over the middle for 21 yards and a first down. On the next play, Walck took it up the middle himself for 43 yards to the 10-yard line setting up first-and-goal. Conover Smith would cap the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run to pull M-CHS within 7-6 to the cheers of a packed Panther Stadium on homecoming.
However, that was as close as the home Panthers would get.
The Delta Panthers capitalized on turnovers and turned a close game into a rout.
M-CHS continued to improve on offense, but fell 48-20 in the battle of the Panthers.
This last week, the coaches and a couple of us captains had a meeting, Ralstin said. We decided, we were going to up the intensity in practice. Practice harder, practice longer and were going to get it going.
M-CHS (1-5, 1-4 3A Western Slope League) piled up 314 yards of offense. But it couldnt stop a vaunted Delta (4-2, 3-1 3A WSL) offensive attack of 595 total yards.
Its small victories right now, you know? M-CHS coach Casey Coulter said. John Walck threw the ball great. Weve been working on passing game and we had some great individual efforts tonight. We had some kids step up big time.
After M-CHS scored, Delta responded with its second TD drive. The road Panthers went 76 yards and Rober Williams scored on a 5-yard run. Alex Quniteros point after attempt was good to make the score 14-6, which is where it stood at halftime.
In the beginning of the third quarter, M-CHS had the ball, but committed its first turnover. Williams recovered a fumble for Delta at the 29-yard line. He would complete the 29-yard drive with his second TD run from 3 yards out.
Now up 21-6, Delta would pile it on when Hunter Brasfield intercepted Walcks pass and took it the other way 50 yards for the TD.
The PAT missed, but the visitors had a commanding 27-6 lead that quieted the homecoming crowd.
M-CHS need to answer, and, it did.
Goosen returned the ensuing kickoff to Deltas 46-yard line to setup prime field position. Walck went to work, hitting Alex Lopez on a 25-yard pitch-and-catch play. On the following pass attempt, Walck found a wide open Ralstin on the left side of the end zone for six. Lopezs extra point was good to bring M-CHS within 27-13.
Unfortunately, Delta was too strong Friday. The victorious Panthers added three more touchdowns to lead 48-13 in the fourth quarter.
Ralstin came in at quarterback and led a final scoring drive. From his own 32, Ralstin sprinted down the left sideline 53 yards to the Delta 15. One play later, Tallon found younger brother Keegan Ralstin on a 15-yard right fade rout for a TD. Lopezs PAT at the 3:53 mark resulted in the final score.
The rest of these games are winnable for us. Were not going to go down without a fight, Tallon Ralstin said. Were going to come back on Monday twice as hard in practice. Were going to scheme it up.
Walck passed 12-of-26 for 157 yards and a TD with two interceptions. He also rushed eight times for 59 yards. Tallon Ralstin caught three passes for 46 yards and a score, while throwing a TD pass. He had a game-high 13 tackles on defense and a fumble recovery. Randy Haley recorded 11 tackles
Were young and you sometimes cant really compete against senior teams like you want to, said Coulter about Deltas 14 seniors. Its just little things here and there. A miscue here, a miscue there. It cant happen. But we had good efforts. Tallon did a great job tonight. He was playing like a man possessed. It was awesome to see.
M-CHS will be on the road again at Eagle Valley (No. 10 Denver Post; 5-1, 3-1 3A WSL) on Friday at 7 p.m.
NOTES: Dakota Goosen was carried off the field with an undisclosed injury at the 9:05 mark of the fourth quarter. His timetable for return is unknown.

Well, it's a bat, basically. The "Penetrator," the notorious four-foot long dickbat in Saints Row: The Third, runs afoul of Japanese laws prohibiting the display of genitalia, so Volition just turned the thing into a garden-variety aluminum baseball bat. Why not a four-foot long tentacle bat?
Still no word on the whereabouts of the missing real-world dildo bats THQ sent to the Netherlands and France as promotional swag.

Methane levels show driller 'never caused any impacts' -- Range
Range Resources Corp. says the testing results it has provided to U.S. EPA about methane in water wells surrounding its operations outside Fort Worth, Texas, show that it is drilling responsibly.
"All of the water is consistent with historical water quality in that region, which is further evidence that Range never caused any impacts in Parker County," said company spokesman Matt Pitzarella.
Range agreed to do the testing as part of an agreement with EPA so the agency would drop water pollution charges leveled at the company. EPA had charged that the company's wells were leaking methane gas into two homes in Parker County, just west of Fort Worth.
EnergyWire obtained the data from EPA through a Freedom of Information Act request. They indicate that methane is present in the water coming from many of the wells, but not at dangerous levels. Range contends drinking water wells in the area had methane in them before it began drilling there.
The "action level" for methane in water is 10 micrograms per liter. None of the results provided by the company Range hired for the testing was higher than 5 mg/l.
"These particular values are not dangerous levels," said Rob Jackson, a Duke University scientist who has been examining methane in groundwater near drilling sites.
Al Armendariz brought the high-profile case in December 2010 as the Dallas-based director for EPA's Region 6, which includes Texas and surrounding states. He resigned about a month after the case was dropped in late March (Greenwire, April 30, 2012).
His emergency order also accused state oil and gas officials at the Texas Railroad Commission of failing to protect their residents.
Range denied the accusations. The gas found in the water wells is thermogenic methane, the type of gas that companies drill for. But scientists for Range said that it had a different carbon fingerprint from the Barnett Shale gas that Range was producing in the area.
Officials at the Texas Railroad Commission backed the company.
Landowners turned to EPA after they said they weren't getting help from the state. The landowners' complaints to the state revealed in August 2010 that one of the wells had "bradenhead pressure," an indication that gas could be seeping into the space behind the production casing. Range did another test in October 2010 that satisfied Railroad Commission officials that the well had mechanical integrity.
In dropping the case, EPA and the Justice Department said government officials wanted to shift away from litigation to a "joint effort" involving more testing. As part of the settlement, Range agreed to do much of the testing it would have been required to do under the emergency order.
The settlement called for Range to conduct four sets of tests, spaced evenly over the course of a year, on local water wells, looking for methane, benzene and other substances.
Jackson reviewed two of the reports at the request of EnergyWire. He said what has bothered him is that the ratio of methane to other hydrocarbons like benzene in the samples is indicative of deep thermogenic gas. He also said he has been unable to find data showing the gas signature of the formation where Range and the Railroad Commission say the gas came from, the Strawn formation.
"For me, that's still a gap," Jackson said.
In October, Armendariz said he still believed that Range contaminated the well.
"The best available data that I was presented by my staff indicated that that driller's natural gas was ending up in a private drinking water well," Armendariz told a conference of environmental journalists meeting in Lubbock, Texas. "I've not seen, and when I withdrew our enforcement action I didn't see, anything to the contrary."
He added at the time that he had not seen any of the results of the testing Range agreed to do under the settlement.
At the time, EnergyWire had requested the test results from an agency spokeswoman. The FOIA request was filed after Armendariz's remarks. Attempts to reach Armendariz to discuss the results were unsuccessful.
Armendariz's remarks drew a terse letter from Range attorney David Poole, who was honored for his work on the case by the Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel (EnergyWire, Oct. 25, 2012).
"You have chosen to publicly make false comments about Range and we must insist that you cease from making further false and disparaging comments against Range," Poole wrote to Armendariz, who now works for the Sierra Club in Texas. Armendariz didn't publicly respond to Range's letter.

RUSSIA, NOT THE U.S., IS NOW CALLING THE SHOTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST WITH IRAN AND IRAQ By Tom O'Connor, 3 Aug 2017
Russia's deputy foreign minister met Wednesday with leading diplomats from Iran and Iraq to discuss combating Islamist extremist groups and the future of Syria.
With the U.S. minimizing efforts to topple the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iraq expressing weariness of the U.S.'s extended presence in its country, Russia has become an increasingly important power broker in the region. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov met in Moscow with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Jaberi Ansari and Iraqi Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Nazar Khairallah to emphasize the "principled position of the three countries" on Syria. All three expressed support for Assad in a lengthy war pitting his armed forces against jihadists and opposition groups, according to Syria's pro-government Al-Watan newspaper and Iran's semi-official Tasnim News Agency. …Russia, Iran, Iraq and Syria maintain a joint intelligence sharing operation known as the 4+1, which includes the Iran-backed, Shiite Muslim militant group Hezbollah of Lebanon. In addition to Russia's involvement with these countries, it has reportedly established relationships with Egypt and Libyan military leader Khalifa Haftar in an effort to extend its sphere of influence in the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
German Muslims have established a self-styled biker gang — modeled on the Hells Angels — aimed at protecting fellow Muslims from the "ever-growing hatred of Islam," according to Die Welt.
The emergence of the group, which aspires to open chapters in cities and towns across Germany, has alarmed German authorities, who have warned against the growing threat of vigilantism in the country.
Muslim vigilantes enforcing Islamic justice have become increasingly common in Germany. The government's inability or unwillingness to stop them has led to the rise of anti-Muslim counter-vigilantes. Germany's BfV intelligence agency, in its latest annual report, warned that an escalating action-reaction cycle could result in open warfare on German streets. (Gatestone Institute, 7/31/2017)
A failed asylum seeker from Yemen who was given sanctuary at a church in northern Germany to prevent him from being deported has potentially infected more than 50 German children with a highly contagious strain of tuberculosis.
The man, who was sheltered at a church in Bünsdorf between January and May 2017, was in frequent contact with the children, some as young as three, who were attending a day care center at the facility. He was admitted to a hospital in Rendsburg in June and subsequently diagnosed with tuberculosis — a disease which only recently has reentered the German consciousness. (G.I. 7/14)
- The Swedish state, in true Orwellian style, fights those Swedish citizens who point out the obvious problems that migrants are causing.
- When police officer Peter Springare said in February that migrants were committing a disproportionate amount of crime in the suburbs, he was investigated for "inciting racial hatred."
- Currently, a 70-year-old Swedish pensioner is being prosecuted for "hate speech," for writing on Facebook that migrants "set fire to cars, and urinate and defecate on the streets."
- The security situation in Sweden is now so critical that the national police chief, Dan Eliasson, has asked the public for help; the police are unable to solve the problems on their own. In June, the Swedish police released a new report, "Utsatta områden 2017," ("Vulnerable Areas 2017," commonly known as "no-go zones" or lawless areas). It shows that the 55 no-go zones of a year ago are now 61.
- In September 2016, Prime Minister Stefan Löfven and Minister of Interior Anders Ygeman refused to see the warnings: in 2015, only 14% of all crimes in Sweden were solved, and in 2016, 80% of police officers were allegedly considering quitting the force. Both ministers refused to call it a crisis. (G.I. 7/21)
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are parents to Prince George and Princess Charlotte and speculation has been rife the proud parents could have another baby.
But the royal couple has been told they should not have any more children in a letter written by 'Having Kids,' an organization that promotes smaller families.
Citing environmental reasons like climate change, economic equality and the distribution of 'resources,' the open letter urges Prince William and Kate to "consider forgoing having a third child… in favor of modeling a smaller, sustainable family." (Daily Express, 7/30)
Comment: The white birthrate in the countries of the Anglosphere is so low that, within decades, ethnic Anglo-Saxons and Celts will be a minority in their own countries. If Prince William and his wife decide not to have any more children, it will encourage others to do the same. This will only speed up the alien takeover of the Anglosphere, as the peoples of Asia, Africa and the Middle East will continue to have big families, exporting the surplus to countries of the Anglosphere (the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the US).
This week, two terror attacks by Islamists were foiled in Australia, including an attempt to blow up a plane.
"AUSTRALIA would have experienced 15 terror attacks including public beheadings on home soil over the past three years if most plots in their advanced stages hadn't been foiled, according to police.
The terror attacks police were unable to prevent include the Lindt Cafe siege in Sydney in which manager Tori Johnson and mother-of-three Katrina Dawson lost their lives; the killing of police accountant Curtis Cheng by 15-year-old schoolboy Farhad Khalil Mohammed Jabar in Parramatta and the non-fatal stabbing of Wayne Greenhalgh in Minto last year. In Victoria, Numan Haider, 18, attacked two police officers with a knife outside the Endeavour Hills police station before being shot dead in September 2014.
Among the alleged "imminent" terror plots foiled by police in the last two years were advanced plans to kidnap members of the public in Sydney and Brisbane then behead them on camera and release the footage; detonate bombs at a Mother's Day running event; stab and shoot police and members of the public at Anzac Day ceremonies; and target government buildings including the Garden Island Navy base and Parramatta Court House." (Megan Palin, news.com.au July 31st)
Islamic terrorism would not be a threat if the government of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam had not changed immigration law in the early 1970's. Note the following from Wikipedia:
"Soon after Australia became a federation, it passed the Immigration Restriction Act of 1901. The passage of this bill is considered the commencement of the White Australia Policy as Australian government policy. Subsequent acts further strengthened the policy up to the start of the Second World War. These policies effectively allowed for British migrants to be preferred over all others through the first four decades of the 20th century. During the Second World War, Prime Minister John Curtin reinforced the policy, saying, "This country shall remain forever the home of the descendants of those people who came here in peace in order to establish in the South Seas an outpost of the British race."
The policy was dismantled in stages by successive governments after the conclusion of the Second World War, with the encouragement of first non-British, non-white immigration, allowing for a large multi-ethnic post-war program of immigration. The Menzies and Holt Governments effectively dismantled the policies between 1949 and 1966 and the Whitlam Government passed laws to ensure that race would be totally disregarded as a component for immigration to Australia in 1973. In 1975, the Whitlam Government passed the Racial Discrimination Act, which made racially based selection criteria unlawful. In the decades since, Australia has maintained large-scale multi-ethnic immigration. Australia's current Migration Program allows people from any country to apply to migrate to Australia, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, culture, religion, or language, provided that they meet the criteria set out in law. ("White Australia Policy," Wikipedia).
"We remember it not only for the rain that fell, the mud that weighed down the living and swallowed the dead, but also for the courage and bravery of the men who fought here.'
The Prince of Wales was in good voice on Monday at the centenary commemorations of the battle of Passchendaele — more properly, 'Third Ypres,' It was a pity he couldn't say that we should remember it not only for the incompetence of the high command, but because the majority of the British troops were at best only half-trained.
One of the enduring myths about war is that armies can be raised quickly. They can't, because armed conflict is the most complex human interaction known. A soldier's skill is nine parts judgment. It takes time to acquire — as true today as it was 100 years ago, perhaps even more so. Yet we're about to make the same mistake as we did before 1914: thinking we can influence events without putting boots on the ground and shrinking the army to a token force. The view in much of Whitehall seems to be that intervention leads only to entanglement — and that intervention by land forces leads only to bloodier entanglement.
(Allan Mallinson, (Why can't we learn? Wars can't be won without trained troops." The Spectator, UK, 4th August)
COMMENT: The British Army is now down to 80,000 troops, the lowest in over two centuries. If another conflict arose comparable to 1914 and 1939, the United Kingdom would not be ready.
by Dale Hurd, 07-27-2017
The number of Russians who call themselves atheists has fallen by 50 percent in only three years, according to a new poll.
The independent Levada Research Center conducted the survey in late June.
It showed that Russian atheists and those who describe themselves as "absolutely irreligious," dropped from 26 percent in 2014 to 13 percent in 2017.
Religious believers now make up 86 percent of the Russian population and 44 percent say they are "quite religious," but that number included Islam and eastern religions.
The poll found that the Russian Orthodox Church remains the major denomination by far in Russia, with 9 out of 10 respondents saying they view the Orthodox church with "respect and benevolence."
74 percent of Russians view the Roman Catholic church with "respect and benevolence," 61 percent hold a favorable view of Protestantism, followed by 59 percent for Islam and 56 percent who said they respect Judaism. (CBN)

Online retailers have begun selling Advanced Micro Devices' upcoming Phenom II processors, well ahead of the company's processor announcement plans for early January.
Two new quad-core Phenom II processors, aimed at high-end desktops, started shipping on Dec. 27, according to retail Web sites. AMD plans to announce the chips next month at the International Consumer Electronics Show to be held in Las Vegas between January 8 and 11.
The quad-core Phenom II chips run at speeds from 2.8GHz to 3GHz and include 8MB of cache. The chips are capable of achieving higher speeds under certain circumstances though. AMD overclocked Phenom II processors to run at up to 4GHz on air-cooled systems, and up to 5GHz on liquid-nitrogen cooling earlier this year.
AMD's Phenom II X4 940 quad-core processor, which runs at 3GHz, is being sold for US$304 by online computer parts retailer Computers4Sure. The chip is being priced as high as $373 by a Canada-based online retailer, A-Power Computer Online.
Another quad-core processor, the Phenom II X4 920, which runs at 2.8GHz, is being sold for US$271 by Computers4sure. The same chip is being sold for US$317 by A-Power.
For now the chips will support DDR2 memory, but faster DDR3 memory support could be added in a few months. DDR3 provides a larger bandwidth for quicker data transfers between the CPU and memory in PCs compared to DDR2 memory. To support DDR3 memory, AMD will introduce the new AM3 socket for motherboards in the next few months.

Newsmakers: Students Dig Up History in Mitchell
The following story aired on KELO-TV on Wednesday, July 10:
British Students Dig Up History In Mitchell
By Sammi Bjelland
MITCHELL, SD - For the tenth year now, a group of archaeology students have traveled all the way from England to Mitchell, South Dakota. They're working alongside local experts, to unearth some prehistoric treasures.
Mitchell might be best known for the Corn Palace, but it's what's happening under the soil that's getting international attention.
"It's been amazing to dig here for an entire 10 years. It's such a wonderful facility, and as we are getting down in the levels a bit more we're getting much more exciting finds," Alan Outram, PhD., head of Archaeology at University of Exeter, said.
The Prehistoric Indian Village is South Dakota's only public dig site. And for the past decade, they've opened their grounds to a group of students from the University of Exeter in England.
"It's really interesting. We learn about pottery styles, and in terms of the pit we just dug there's been loads of small bone fragments so we're learning about grease rendering. And the fact that they were using the grease and the fat from the bones. So we're learning things about the sort of the culture in that way. Probably not a modern sort of activity," Exeter student, Sarah Hagger said.

"It's a whole feature where they were bashing bones up into tiny little pieces and then boiling them up to get the fat out. And it's all there as if they just walked away from it," Outram said.
Students from Augustana College have also been taking advantage of this collaboration. Each year students are sent to England to dig sites with Exeter on their home turf.
"Looking at the sites in England and through Europe, and then they get a chance to look at the sites out here on the Northern plains and can see very clearly that human adaptations where ever you were in the world were very similar," Adrien Hannus, chief archaeologist at Augustana College said.
While they've already made some exciting discoveries and published papers on their finds, there is still more to uncover in the Mitchell dirt.
"There's an awful lot more of the site to go yet. There's several more meters of pure archeological deposit. So it will last us many more decades," Outram said.
The Exeter students will be exploring more of South Dakota when they head out West soon to see the Black Hills.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - High blood levels of a man-made chemical used in non-stick coatings were associated with a raised risk of arthritis in a large new study of adults exposed to tainted drinking water.
Researchers found that people with the highest levels of perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) in their blood were up to 40 percent more likely to develop arthritis than people with lower blood levels more typical of the general U.S. population.
Dr. Kim Innes of the School of Medicine at West Virginia University and colleagues used data on nearly 50,000 adults living in areas of Ohio and West Virginia where a chemical plant had contaminated water supplies with PFOA and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), both chemicals widely used in non-stick and stain-resistant coatings.
Both chemicals are "persistent organic pollutants," meaning they remain in the environment and in the human body for years. Both have also been shown to affect human and animal immune systems and metabolism, including functions such as inflammation that are linked with arthritis.
Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by pain, stiffness and bone damage that affects some 27 million Americans.
To see whether there was a connection between the chemicals and arthritis risk, Innes' team looked at people being monitored as part of a larger effort known as the C8 Science Panel, established following the settlement of a 2001 class-action lawsuit against DuPont Chemical.
A DuPont plant in Washington, West Virginia, released PFOA, PFOS and other chemicals into the air, which eventually contaminated drinking water.
Overall, nearly 8 percent of the study participants were found to have arthritis. People with the top-25 percent highest blood levels of PFOA were about 20 percent more likely to have arthritis than people in the bottom-25 percent.
Once the researchers adjusted for a variety of factors including, age, weight, socioeconomic status, gender and military service, the people with the highest PFOA blood levels were 40 percent more likely to develop arthritis than those with the lowest levels.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the authors also found the opposite to be true for PFOS. People with the highest blood levels of PFOS were 25 percent less likely to be diagnosed with arthritis than people with the lowest levels. Innes speculated that this may stem from an inflammation-reducing effect of PFOS.
The connection between PFOA and arthritis was strongest in people who were younger and not obese. Since age and obesity are two known risk factors for osteoarthritis, that finding strengthens the apparent link, the researchers note.
Still, the design of the study cannot prove that arthritis is caused by PFOA exposure, or prevented by PFOS exposure, cautioned Dr. Kyle Steenland, an epidemiologist at the School of Public Health at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and a member of the C8 Science Panel. However, a viable alternate cause for the study findings has not been proposed, Steenland acknowledged.
Innes and her colleagues also note that the 8 percent rate of arthritis reported by participants in this study is actually lower than the national average for adults -- a difference they attribute to underreporting of arthritis by the study participants. More cases would not have likely changed the results, they wrote.
Given the many thousands of people in Ohio and West Virginia who were exposed to the chemicals in their drinking water, it is important to continue to monitor the health of the affected population, Steenland said.

Cinema 10
4425 Lennon Road,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Cinema 10 had a interesting history before it even opened. In the early 1990's United Artists Theatres broke ground on the United Artists Genesee Valley Cinemas located just north of the Genesee Valley shopping center. Around the same time, National Amusements purchased the former Utley Junior High School and tore it down for a planned Showcase Cinemas and GKC Theatres planned an expansion of their Genesee Valley Cinemas.
Then National Amusements bought out the GKC Theatres Flint area operations. This led United Artists to abandon their theater project after constructing a parking lot and a foundation for the theater.
National Amusements converted the Genesee Valley Cinemas into a second run house and closed the Towne Cinemas, eventually building the Showcase Cinemas Flint West where the school used to stand. National Amusements also took over the theater project abandoned by United Artists Theatres, building the Cinema which opened in 1997, replacing the Genesee Valley Cinemas which closed upon the opening of the Cinema 10.
The Genesee Valley Cinemas was eventually torn down to make rooom for new retail development. The Cinema was originally a bargain priced second run house, but a couple of years ago, National Amusements reorganized their Flint area operations and made the Cinema 10 a full priced first run house showing major Hollywood as well as art house releases.
The Cinema 10 was closed in October 2007.

Eclipse startup is controlled by the options in
$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse.ini. If
$ECLIPSE_HOME is not defined, the default
eclipse.ini in your Eclipse installation directory is used.
eclipse.ini is a text file containing command-line options that are added to the command line used when Eclipse is started up.
Important: Each option and each argument to an option must be on its own line.
By default,
eclipse.ini contains something like
-showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m -vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx256m
which sets the heap space to 40MB initially and a maximum of 256MB, and also specifies a maximum PermGen size of 256MB.
One of the most recommended options to use is to specify a specific JVM for Eclipse to run on. The following
eclipse.ini demonstrates correct usage of the -vm option:
-showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m -vm C:\Java\JDK\1.5\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx512m
On a Linux system, the file looks quite similar:
-showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m -vm /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.02/bin/java -vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx512m
Note the format as it is important to be exact:
- The
-vmoption and its value (the path) must be on separate lines.
- The value must be the full absolute path to the Java executable, not just to the Java home directory.

Ohio Amish in beard-cutting case fight for release
Attorneys for a group of Amish men and women found guilty of hate crimes for cutting the hair and beards of fellow members of their faith are arguing that the group's conviction, sentencing and imprisonment in separate facilities across the country violates their constitutional rights and amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, according to recent court filings.
The filings in federal court in Akron seek the release of seven of 16 Amish convicted in September in the 2011 eastern Ohio attacks, which were meant to shame fellow Amish they believed were straying from strict religious interpretations.
Although six of the requests were denied by the trial judge, one is pending, and the judge could at any time order any of them released as they await the outcomes of their appeals, expected to be filed this summer. Defense attorneys may also appeal denials of the release requests to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
The Amish group's leader, Samuel Mullet Sr., was sentenced to 15 years in prison, while the rest of the group got sentences ranging from one to seven years.
The Amish have been sent to different prisons across the country, placing an overly harsh burden on their relatives, who, because of their religion, cannot travel by plane and have to hire drivers for car travel, the group's attorneys argue.
For instance, for Mullet's wife to visit him and three sons convicted in the case, she'd have to travel to Oklahoma, Louisiana and two prisons 160 miles apart in Minnesota.
The Amish "are being treated much more harshly than the typical federal prisoner, including those with much worse criminal histories and offense conduct," Mullet's attorney, Edward Bryan, wrote in a March 29 filing. "The manner in which their sentences are being carried out by the Bureau of Prisons is cruel and unusual."
Prosecutors, in their response filed on Friday, pointed out that Mullet has unsuccessfully argued to be released five times throughout the case, and they cited comments from federal Judge Dan Polster that Mullet showed no remorse for the attacks and "enjoyed receiving prompt reports about the violent assaults, and even received a bag of hair as proof that one such assault was successful."
The prosecutors also said that as recently as Feb. 8, the judge noted "Mullet's dangerous hold" on his community and that Mullet had shown "a blatant disregard for the law."
They rejected that the Amish's placement in different prisons is cruel and unusual and said moving him would be a waste of taxpayer money.
The prosecution's filing does not address other arguments being put forth by the defense that are far broader, largely uncharted territory in the courts and could eventually land in the U.S. Supreme Court, according to attorneys involved in the case and constitutional law professors contacted by The Associated Press.
Defense attorneys for the Amish are attacking the group's prosecution under the federal hate crime statute, passed in 2009. The statute stipulates that to constitute a federal violation, the crime has to involve crossing state lines or using "an instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce."
In this case, government prosecutors successfully argued that the scissors and hair clippers were an instrumentality of interstate commerce.
That argument is an abuse of federal power and is unconstitutional, the defense attorneys argue.
Bryan pointed to last year's landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court over President Barack Obama's federal health care law. The court found that the individual insurance mandate at the heart of the law was not enforceable under Congress' power over interstate commerce but rather as a tax.
Bryan said that case, decided after the Amish were indicted, shows a willingness by the nation's highest court to narrow Congress' authority over interstate commerce, and could guide the 6th Circuit in its consideration of the Amish group's appeal.
Bryan and the other defense attorneys in the case also argue that the assaults didn't amount to a hate crime under the federal statute, arguing that the law wasn't meant to prosecute a given religious group's dispute among its own members.
Two constitutional law professors agree that the new filings contain interesting arguments that could eventually make it to the Supreme Court.
Vikram Amar, a constitutional law professor at the University of California-Davis, said that largely depends on how prosecutors argue that taking scissors across state lines to commit a crime amounts to a violation of the federal hate crime statute.
For instance, if the scissors were bought 20 years ago, "I could see a lot of appellate judges and Supreme Court judges say, `That's too loose a test and gives Congress too much power.'"
Noah Feldman, a professor of international law at Harvard Law School, said the defense's argument is plausible, although he "wouldn't put the odds in their favor."
The argument that Feldman finds most interesting is that the prosecution of the Amish for a hate crime is an overly broad interpretation of the federal statute.
"If you accept the interpretation that this is a hate crime, then any dispute within a religious group could be called a hate crime," Feldman said. "If I think my wife should obey me and my religion teaches me so and I take a swing at her, then I've committed a hate crime," rather than domestic violence.
Before trial, the Amish all rejected plea agreements that offered leniency, with some young mothers turning down a chance to avoid prison altogether.
Prosecutors argued that the group cut the beards and hair of other members because hair carries spiritual significance, hence the hate crime. The Amish argued that they're bound by rules guided by their religion and the government should never have gotten involved in what amounted to a family or church dispute.

If you associate a Google Analytics property with a site in your Search Console account, you'll be able to see Search Console data in your Google Analytics reports. Note that you can only associate a website; you cannot associate an app.
You can open the Google Analytics association page from the property settings dropdown in Search Console.
When you associate a site in your Search Console account with a Google Analytics property, by default Search Console data is enabled for all profiles associated with that property. As a result, anybody with access to that Google Analytics property may be able to see Search Console data for that site. For example, if a Google Analytics admin adds a user to a profile, that user may be able to see Search Console data in Search Optimization reports.
A site can be associated with only one property, and vice versa. Creating a new association removes the previously existing association.
Every Google Analytics property can have a number of views. When you associate a site with a property, clicking a link to Google Analytics from Search Console will take you to that property's default view. (If you previously associated your site with a different view, clicking a link will now take you to the default view instead. If you want to see a different view, you can switch views from within Google Analytics.)
If your site is already associated with a Google Analytics property, it could be for a couple of reasons. Either you already used Google Analytics to associate this property with the site, or another site owner has made the association.
If your site is associated with an Analytics property you don't recognize (and don't want), it may be because another site owner associated the site with an Analytics property you don't own. In this case, you can delete the association and create a new one.
If your site used to be associated with a property, but no longer is, it may be that the property was later associated with a different site. (Remember, a site can be associated with only one property. Creating a new association will remove the previously existing association.)
You can also create association using the Analytics admin page if you're an account administrator for the Google Analytics property.
Removing Search Console data from Google Analytics
To remove Search Console data from a Google Analytics property, unlink the association using Search Console's association page, or manage association in the Analytics admin page (if you're an administrator for the Google Analytics property).
Why doesn't Search Console data match Google Analytics data?
Search Console data may differ from the data displayed in other tools, such as Google Analytics. Possible reasons for this include:
- Search Console does some additional data processing—for example, to handle duplicate content and visits from robots—that may cause your stats to differ from stats listed in other sources.
- Google Analytics tracks visits only to pages which include the correctly configured Analytics Javascript code. If pages on the site don't have the code, Analytics will not track visits to those pages. Visits to pages without the Analytics tracking code will, however, be tracked in Search Console if users reach them via search results or if Google crawls or otherwise discovers them.
- Some tools define "keywords" differently. For example:
- The Keywords page in Search Console displays the most significant words Google found on your site.
- The Keywords tool in Google Ads displays the total number of user queries for that keyword across the web.
- Analytics uses the term "keywords" to describe both search engine queries and Google Ads paid keywords.
- The Search Console Search Analytics page lists shows the total number of keyword search queries in which your page's listing was seen in search results, and this is a smaller number. Also, Search Console rounds search query data to one or two significant digits.

Join Tony Hacking of Global Insights Consulting & Dr. Rachel Ciporen of the Columbia Coaching Certification Program for this 4-part webinar based certification training in the NBI with a special focus on using the NBI in Coaching! Click "Register Now" to learn more and to register…
"As a leadership coach, the NBI is one of my go-to tools. It gives clients an objective way to understand how they come across to others, and how they might adapt their behaviors to be more effective. It's fast to implement, so I don't need to spend too much time explaining or teaching, but rather I can focus on what I do best — helping leaders become the best version of themselves."
We and our clients absolutely love the NBI tool. In our workshop evaluations participants very often name the NBI tool and getting to know their own and their peers' thinking preferences as something they most enjoyed during their training. We like to use the NBI with our clients as the framework and underlying theory is very easy to understand for participants, which allows them to transfer learning directly and immediately to work applications. In addition, from a consultant's perspective, it is great to work with the NBI, as it can be very well linked to leadership, strategic communication, team development and many other disciplines.
For many executives and leaders, the NBI is the entry point into true self-awareness.
I've worked with thousands of people and used many popular tools to try to generate self and other awareness in clients. None have been as well received and effective as the NBI. One client hired me to develop cohorts of high-potential leaders. With each cohort, one of the most exciting moments in the process was when leaders became aware of the opportunities and limitations of their preferences and how to leverage these preferences in themselves and in others. The excitement from this insight has repeated itself over and again with hundreds of clients ranging from large multinational organizations and non-profits to school systems. NBI certification has been a valuable tool in my toolkit.
"I have recently completed the NBI™ certification program and would recommend it 100%. The NBI is a powerful tool with direct application to the areas of leadership, communication, diversity, team effectiveness, and coaching to name a few. Krister Lowe and Tony Hacking, who have integrated this assessment instrument into their own global consulting practice, share their experience in a very easy going engaging manner by intertwining a mix of client-based case studies, and examples of exercises in which to effectively use the tool. It is a very "hands-on" workshop, and at the conclusion not only do you leave feeling confident in how to present and apply the instrument, but you have also met fellow practitioners with whom you can network and build an ongoing community."

With NASA's blessing, a group of Colorado University students were able to participate in what sounds like the coolest college test ever: crashing a real NASA satellite into the ocean.
The satellite, known as the Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation satellite (or ICESat), orbited the Earth for seven years gathering data on ice sheets and sea ice dynamics until its scientific payload inexplicably shut down.
Scientists couldn't restart it so they tasked Colorado University students to help bring it down. Which really means help figure out how to use the ICESat's last bit of fuel to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up its 2,000 pound body to 200 pounds as it crashes into the Arctic Ocean.
It wasn't just all just fun, games and explosions though. Darrin Osborne, a flight director for ICESat, describes what the students had to do:
"They ran calculations to determine where the spacecraft was located and made predictions for NASA ground stations that tracked it," he said. "The students did this seven days a week until the decommission was complete."
That's on top of working nights, holidays, and during school breaks to earn the gig, so it was hardly a walk in the park (and probably not as exciting as it sounds). But hey, how many kids get to say they crashed a NASA Satellite over summer break? [Colorado University via Pop Sci]
