16 January 2013, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - The Arab countries part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have specific requirements in the area of emergency management and disaster risk reduction, including geographic information and satellite analysis. This is what emerged from discussions held in Riyadh in conjunction with the UNISDR-GCC Training Workshop on reducing and managing disaster risk (13-16 January 2013).
The event marked the first substantial step by Arab states in the region towards an organized approach to disaster risk reduction and the implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action. In his opening, GCC's Secretary-General, Dr. Abdul-Latif bin Rashid Al Zayani, emphasized the need for a regional culture of safety and outlined five strategic targets for the Gulf Region: protecting the security and stability of GCC countries; maintaining sustainable economic growth; achieving comprehensive human development; increasing capacity to deal with crises and disasters; and enhancing regional and international cooperation.
UNITAR was requested to deliver a UNOSAT training module illustrating the advantages and limitations of satellite analysis for risk reduction, preparedness, and response. The lecture was part of the 3-day agenda of the Training Workshop, jointly organised by GCC and the UNISDR Regional Office for Arab States. Amjad Abbashar, Head of the UNISDR regional Office based in Cairo, said, "it was useful to have the recognised satellite analysis specialists of the UN directly involved in the workshop so that countries can become aware of the potential of this technology. The participation of UNOSAT will help Gulf countries to clarify their needs and utilize satellite based technology to strengthen their disaster reduction and emergency preparedness efforts".
The Gulf Cooperation Council has also established a GCC Emergency Management Centre. The Centre and UNOSAT are already in contact to discuss capacity development and technical assistance measures. The Centre's Director, Dr. Hamza, said, "the GCC Disaster Management Centre will work towards strengthening Gulf Capacities in DRR. It is important to promote the use and transfer of advanced technologies and knowledge to address disaster risk reduction and emergencies".
Vast land extensions, changing vulnerability, and the challenge of territorial planning in a fast moving socio-economic reality make the Gulf Region an excellent case in point for UNOSAT's competency in strategic territorial planning. Francesco Pisano, who took part in the event as Director of Research, Technology Applications and Knowledge Services at UNITAR, said, "This is the beginning of a dialogue with the Gulf countries that we want to pursue in the near future together with the GCC and its Emergency Management Centre. We believe that the regional dimension is central to effective DRR and UNOSAT has accumulated both operational and methodological experience that we are ready to share with countries engaged in implementing the Hyogo Framework for Action".

Before you do this, you may want to check BIOS levels on a good v. bad system and try a BIOS reset on the bad machine. Even a batch of systems delivered at the same time can have different BIOS levels. I've also seen a BIOS reset cure these odd problems if they were all already at the same version. The final bit, which is more in the voodoo camp, is the battery... If the BIOS versions differ, would copying the nvram from one system to another be an issue? -- dnl My comments represent my opinions, not those of Intel Corporation.

Less than one week after the shooting massacre in Aurora, Colorado, the first lawsuit has emerged. Torrence Brown Jr., one of the patrons who was at the theater when gunman James Holmes opened fire on a room full of innocent people, was not injured in the incident, but has plans to file a civil suit, reports TMZ.
One of Brown's close friends was shot and killed during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises at the Century 16 Theater, last Friday (July 20). Citing "extreme trauma" from the rampage, Brown has hired lawyer, Donald Karpel. He will take legal action against the theater for being "negligent" by not arming the front emergency door which Holmes is believed to have entered through, Holmes' doctors for failing to "properly monitor" him, and Warner Bros. Pictures, who distributed the film. "Somebody has to be responsible for the rampant violence that is shown today," Kerpell told TMZ. However, being that Holmes probably didn't actually see the film—since it opened the night of the shooting— the latter part of Brown's lawsuit may not have legs.
Holmes made his first court appearance Monday (July 23), looking disheveled and unable to comprehend the proceedings. While he is not scheduled to be arraigned on murder charges for several weeks, Holmes may use an insanity plea as a defense for his actions.
Prosecutors are expected to seek the death penalty in the case.

On Hawai'i island ("the Big Island"), a vacation cottage near Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
In the Hawaiian language, a kipuka is a kind of oasis. It can be an island of forest surrounded by lava fields, saved from volcano goddess Pele's embrace. Or it can be blue sky surrounded by tall clouds, or a calm place in a high sea.
Or a kipuka can be an opening within a forest, or even a dwelling, a home within the forest.
This is our Kipuka — a cottage, a vacation home away from home for you here on Hawai'i Island ("the Big Island"). We look forward to sharing it with you.

'Nashville' Creator Callie Khouri Supports Taylor Swift's Tried and True Formula
Last week, we reported that the oft-criticized Taylor Swift had an unlikely ally in feminist punk rocker Kathleen Hanna. But Swift has also earned respect from other people in different arms of the entertainment field. Like screenwriter and 'Nashville' creator Callie Khouri, 55, who said that she supports Swift's formula since it's brought the '22' singer as much success as it has criticism. And you can't argue with success. Let the haters hate.
When asked if she had any thoughts on the backlash that Swift has endured for mining her personal life as source material for her songs, Khouri, who won a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for 'Thelma & Louise,' made a super valid point. "If I could have the kind of backlash that caused me to be No. 1 on the charts for months and months at a time and have sold-out concerts for the next however many years, that's the kind of backlash I could live with," she said.
Khouri also believes that Swift is making a direct connection with her fans through her subject matter and lyrical choices, and it works. She said, "If that's what she wants to write about, God love her, I support it. It's obviously speaking to the audience she's trying to reach."
Swift has to be feeling the love from other creative women right now!

Augustus John
Welsh, 1878–1961
Portrait of Mrs. Cory, c. 1920
oil on canvas
53.6 x 43.6 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Loewen in memory of her mother, Mrs. P.A. Chester
Augustus John is best known for his daring and often controversial portraits, which brought him numerous commissions along with a great deal of both good and bad press. Throughout his artistic career, he struggled to find a balance between the standards of the Royal Academy of Arts and his strong desire to develop a unique personal style. John eventually rejected the social conventions of modern Europe and adopted a bohemian lifestyle, inspired in part by his interest in gypsies. In many of his later works John's personal turmoil is reflected in his fusion of painting styles and themes. In this portrait of Mrs. Cory, John's use of gestural lines and arbitrary areas of colour reflects his interests in Post-Impressionism style in the face of the more traditional portrait format.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 7, 2012 – Despite the prospect of major defense cuts early next year, the Defense Department remains committed to resale programs that provide valuable benefits to uniformed members and employment for family members and veterans, a senior department official told the House Armed Services Committee today.
Robert L. Gordon, deputy assistant secretary of defense for military community and family policy, joined other officials in giving testimony before the committee to underscore the importance of the military resale program.
"On my visits to military communities, I hear of the tremendous appreciation for, and in some cases, the need for commissaries and exchanges," Gordon said. "Often, they are (the only) source of high-quality American made products — but equally important, they are the lifeblood to many of our installation support programs."
Programs such as the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the Navy Exchange Service Command, Semper Fit Exchange Service and the Defense Commissary Agency are not only a significant source of employment for military family members, but they bring quality-of-life enhancements to service members around the globe, Gordon and other witnesses explained.
"A strong exchange benefit is one of the cornerstones of the military way of life," said Air Force Brig. Gen. Francis L. Hendricks, AAFES commander. "It enhances recruitment and retention, thereby aiding in the readiness of the armed forces."
Hendricks recalled AAFES' rapid growth in theater since the spring of 2003, when U.S. ground forces fought their way up the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. "Our first store in Iraq operated out of the back of a Toyota Landcruiser," Hendricks said. "As troops advanced northward, so did our store."
During the next eight years, AAFES established 95 sites throughout the theater, and more than 4,000 of its employees volunteered to operate retail stores and food activities in support of the troops. "We brought them familiar products and services and the food they craved," Hendricks said. "In that moment, at that place, we brought a little piece of home to them."
Humanitarian aid to military members and surrounding communities is but another virtue of the resale program, according to Thomas Gordy, Armed Forces Marketing Council president. When the earthquake and tsunami struck Japan in March 2011, military resale systems worked with industry partners and the services to ensure military families stationed in the devastated region had access to food, water, milk and other essential items.
"The resale stores in Japan remained stocked, while the stores outside the gate were empty," Gordy said. "Not only did the system support our military families, but (supported) the recovery effort with essential supplies, providing the United States with another element of humanitarian support to our friends in Japan."
Wherever in the world uniformed members and their families rely on commissaries and exchanges, the resale program's budget-conscious prices can offer consumers significant savings advantages, said retired Rear Adm. Robert J. Bianchi, Navy Exchange Service Command chief executive officer. "Our 2011 annual market basket survey results show that customers save an average of 23 percent below commercial retail prices not including sales tax, generating over $500 million in non-pay compensation," Bianchi said.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Brandon Davies scored 21 points, Tyler Haws added 18 and BYU used two big second-half runs to defeat Montana 85-60 on Wednesday night.
The Grizzlies were within eight points, 53-45, with 12:08 left after a twisting, off-balance layup by Kareem Jamar.
But the Cougars (5-2) went on a 14-5 run to seal their third straight victory this season and sixth straight at EnergySolutions Arena, home of the NBA's Utah Jazz.
Haws started the run with a pair of free throws, and Craig Cusick hit his second 3-pointer of the night to ruin any hopes the Grizzlies had of extending their three-game winning streak.
Jamar led Montana (3-2) with 17 points and nine rebounds and Keron DeShields added 12 points.

Don't be fooled by the name "Devil's Den"-- the pre-historic underground spring is actually quite lovely. But how did this magical-looking place get such a sinister name? According to legend, early settlers to Florida saw steam rising from the rock formations around the perpetually warm spring, and they, assuming they had discovered a portal to the netherworld, christened it Devil's Den. Unfortuntately, the pioneers weren't scuba-certified, so they couldn't fully explore all the cavern spring, which usually hovers around a toasty 72 degrees, has to offer. Nowadays, Devil's Den attracts divers from all over to swim amongst the stalactites and ancient fossil beds. Some of the more insane fossils found here include extinct Pleistocene animals and the bones of a man dating to around 75,000 B.C. Who knows what other hidden treasures await explorers willing to scuba into the crystal blue depths of the spring! -Roadtrippers One of North America's most prehistoric places, Devil's Den, an underground spring inside a dry cave in central Florida. The remains of many extinct animals from the Pleistocene Age (2 million - 10,000 years ago) were discovered at Devil's Den, including the bones of early man, dating back to 75,000 B.C. The pleasant year-around temperature of 72 degrees in the Den allows comfortable diving, winter or summer. On cold winter mornings you can see steam, like smoke, rising from the cave's chimney. Hence, the early settlers called the place Devil's Den. You'll find open water and cavern diving at its best & will be fascinated by the rock formations with stalactites and 33 million year old fossil beds, truly a natural wonder.

Fruits That May Help Fight Obesity
Brooke West, The Eagle, Bryan, Texas A recent study by Texas AgriLife Research revealed that peaches, plums and nectarines contain compounds that can potentially combat obesity and diabetes.Jose Cisneros-Zevallos, an associate professor and researcher at Texas A&M, has been working with stone fruit -- fruits that have a fleshy outside and a seed inside -- for five years. Though the fruits are linked to fighting off some chronic diseases, gorging oneself on them isn't something Cisneros's findings would suggest -- at least not yet. In the first stage of his research on the project, Cisneros studied cell models that resemble certain scenarios -- for instance, the cellular makeup of an obese individual. That stage allowed Cisneros to test compounds in the stone fruit, determine their mechanisms and, ultimately, understand their effect on the body. His preliminary findings will be presented in August to the American Chemical Society in Philadelphia. Though Cisneros still must test his findings on animals and hold clinical trials before his research is complete, he has found in the early stages of research that stone fruit can inhibit fat accumulation and chronic inflammation, a stage of obesity in which fat cells behave abnormally and negatively affect the body's reception of insulin. "The diet in American society has a major role in triggering the inflammation process," Cisneros said. "But these stone fruits have huge potential of compounds working in different fronts." Though his findings do not suggest that consuming stone fruits will reverse obesity and diabetes, "eating healthy is always good," Cisneros said. "Why not include some of these fruits?" It is not yet clear what amount must be consumed to fight off obesity and diabetes, but Cisneros hopes to have that information after the clinical trials. "There is an increase in all these types of chronic diseases. We want to create awareness that there has to be some changes in the way people are eating," Cisneros said. "It's nice to know and to learn that some of the fruits contain all these compounds that can help us stay healthy." Mark Scarmardo, owner of The Farm Patch, a fresh produce market in Bryan, said he is always trying to promote products that are healthier for his customers, an effort he says the research can only help. "Our generation and the new generation coming up want to eat healthier and live longer and have a better lifestyle," Scarmardo said. "With the research promoting it, it's right along with what you want to do." (c)2012 The Eagle (Bryan, Texas)

It's a good thing Andrew Luck is a quarterback and not one of my kids' teachers.
The Colts quarterback, asked to assess his rookie season at the halfway point, said he'd give himself a middling grade.
"A 'C' is average, so I think I'd give myself a 'C,' " Luck said, via the Associated Press.
Does anybody get an A in this class?
He is as humble as he's been exceptional on the field, as his play has the Colts in the playoff hunt, well ahead of any projection. He's also setting records on a regular basis, and is playing an adult game in his first season as a pro.
In Sunday's win over the Dolphins, he broke Cam Newton's single-game record for passing yards (433), and he's tied Peyton Manning's mark for 300-yard games in a rookie season (four), and has identical passing yards and wins as the guy Indy's last No. 1 overall quarterback.
More importantly than gross passing stats (many rookie passers can build them easily in games they're trailing big, because teams that draft and start rookie QBs are generally bad), Luck has shown an ability to draw a team together. The Colts have three fourth-quarter wins already, and not many were sure they'd get that many wins this season.
"The victories are what I judge things on. I think I've got to cut down on the turnovers and putting touchdowns on the board," Luck said. "I think perfect would be to win every game, and not have any incompletions or interceptions."
Of course, Colts interim coach Bruce Arians said he had a much higher grade in mind.
"That doesn't surprise me," Arians said of Luck's self-imposed C. "He's comparing him to himself. I'm comparing him to all the other guys I've ever had."
Luck's grading out favorably to Manning at this point, and Colts fans are quickly forgetting about the pain of last year, for what it brought them.

'Today.Tomorrow.Forever' generates over $40 million
Mississippi State Athletics has received private gifts and pledges to the "Today.Tomorrow.Forever" athletic facilities initiative of more than $40 million since January 2011, the Bulldog Club announced March 6. The initiative solicits major gift donations -- which are separate from priority seating obligations -- to construct, renovate and expand Mississippi State's athletic facilities.
Of the $40 million figure, $26 million went toward the construction of the recently opened Leo W. Seal, Jr. Football Complex. Over $3 million has been raised specifically toward the $7 million goal of expanding and renovating Davis Wade Stadium, while the remaining $10 million plus are either planned gifts to the Bulldog Club or are being invested in other athletic department projects.
The largest donation in the past two years was a $12 million gift by the Leo W. Seal, Jr. family of Bay St. Louis. The Bulldog Club also received five gifts and pledges of $1 million or more in the past 26 months, 10 additional gifts of over $500,000 and 22 more gifts over $100,000 in that same time period.
"We're incredibly proud of the philanthropic support our Bulldog Club donors have provided our coaches and student-athletes over the past two years," Director of Athletics Scott Stricklin said. "While several athletic departments throughout the country have seen a decline in private support, the Bulldog Family continues to be relentless in pledging major gift donations, which have allowed our department to construct and maintain first-class facilities for our student-athletes, coaches and fans.
The Bulldog Club kicks off the next phase of "Today.Tomorrow.Forever" this month with a direct mail and e-mail piece encouraging donors and season ticket holders to watch a video showing True Maroon fans describing their favorite memories of Davis Wade Stadium. Donors can request information regarding "Today.Tomorrow.Forever" as well as premium seating in the new north end zone at Davis Wade Stadium, by filling out and submitting their information on the video's online landing page.
Major gifts to "Today.Tomorrow.Forever" can also be applied to current and upcoming projects such as the expansion and renovation of Davis Wade Stadium, the A.J. Pitts Tennis Centre and the MSU Softball Stadium, a newly constructed Golf Clubhouse for men's and women's golf teams and new and renovated locker rooms for soccer and men's and women's basketball programs.
Any gift made to the initiative will count towards donors' priority ranking in the Bulldog Club. A donor's Bulldog Club rank will determine when they will select their seats during the reseating of Davis Wade Stadium prior to the 2014 football season.

Louisville Logbook
(Editor's Note: I decided to take a week off for a non-automotive-related vacation right after the Street Rod Nationals, so I figured I'd let Kev take another shot at the editorial this month so we can all get a better idea of what he's all about. That and I didn't have a chance to get it done before I left. -KL)
As the entire R&C staff has spent what seems like most of the last month on the road or flying to events, our esteemed editor asked me to write an editorial about my first experience at the NSRA Street Rod Nats, so here goes: huge, hot, and humid. That was easy! What I actually think he wanted me to express was a first timer's account of what is probably the world's largest-going by participant numbers-auto show. Now, I've been to plenty of rod runs and shows both large and small over the years: Run to the Sun in Lake Havasu, Bakersfield Hot Rod Reunion, Paso Robles, Goodguys Del Mar, Viva Las Vegas, and too many local club shows to count, but these have all been West Coast shows. Needless to say, attending Goodguys Columbus and then a few weeks later the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville was a whole new adventure for me, and one I was most definitely looking forward to.
In addition, I've attended the European Street Rod Nationals for a number of years, hosted by a different European nation every year, as well as the English NSRA SuperNationals for two decades, so apart from the Australian Nats, I've experienced the major national events around the world. How did Louisville compare? That's not really a fair comparison, nor what this editorial is about, as it's obviously bigger than the others. America is the home of the hot rod, which makes for a greater number of participants over foreign events, as well as greater numbers of specialty companies serving the rodding community, but I was genuinely surprised at the number of vendors in the exhibit building at Louisville. Man, you needed a day just to get 'round all the booths, and then there were more outside! It shows just how far this hobby has come when you see some of the products that have been developed and manu-factured, and the fact that there's a market for, and even a profit margin on, many of the specialized items proves how big rodding has become.
The diversity of the cars on display didn't go unnoticed by me either. I truly never expected to see so many rodded versions of huge Buicks, Packards, DeSotos, Cadillacs, early Studebakers, Nashes, and even a couple of Bentleys. How the parking lot never subsided where these behemoths were parked remains a mystery!
I was also surprised at just how many four-door rods are out there, something I've not really noticed at other events I've attended, as well as how few rat rods were there (I hate that term; although it cannot be denied its derogatory connotations are deserved by some, "traditional," "nostalgic," or "old school" aren't really suitable descriptions of the genre either, as most are none of these). Of course there were a number of what really were traditional rods there, both painted and primered, but what really caught my eye were the few that looked traditional, yet upon further investigation were really pushing the envelope with trick engineering, especially when it came to suspension design. It's these types of cars that do it for me, and if they get other builders thinking, stirring the creative juices, that can only be a good thing.
For instance, there was a crowd around Kirk Brown's little '42 Ford pickup all day when it was parked out in the field on Friday, but you could barely get near the thing when he parked in front of the exhibit building on Saturday! Similarly, pro builders and hobbyists alike were talking about the underside of Ross and Beth Myers' Trepanier-built '36, which won this year's Ridler Award and was displayed up on a rack in the exhibit building, giving everyone present the chance to see just what the fuss was about when the car was first shown at Detroit back in March. From the chassis and exhaust craftsmanship to the suspension design, this car has raised the bar, and giving everyone the opportunity to appreciate it will undoubtedly have a knock-on effect on rods built in the near future.
That is one of the best things about any event, but especially cool is an event that brings cars from all over the country, offering the opportunity to check out other peoples' interpretations of what a rod (or custom) is, then being able to cherry-pick ideas and apply them to your next project.

My guidebook and I are on the outs. So far, in my current location of Estelí, Nicaragua, it has provided me with bad directions to a hostel, two restaurants, a cigar factory, a guitar maker, and a bar. I'd be truly surprised if the author has been to this city at all. Speaking Spanish here has become less of a convenience and more of a necessity. Admittedly, I rarely travel without a guidebook—having a map, historical background, recommendations, and transportation information for nearly every city you visit is a huge advantage—but I've developed a love-hate relationship with them. The best guidebooks I've seen are still riddled with inaccuracies. Even if the authors and publishers have done their homework, new editions are generally only published every three years or so. If you spend any time in the developing world, you'll know it's earned that title. A lot can change in three years. Beyond faulty information, a guidebook entry can change a place with a mere mention. If a popular book exposes an off-the-beaten-track destination, for example, that place won't stay off the beaten track for long. For all these reasons, I've put my Nicaragua guidebook aside, at least in Estelí. I've decided to consult with random locals to determine my next destination, but, while this city has begun to develop a tourist infrastructure, I've yet to encounter an English-speaking Nicaraguan here. Travelers aren't coddled like they are in San Juan del Sur, so my sessions with TOTALe are paying off now more than ever. I hear from a woman working in my guesthouse about an unusual tourist attraction in the highlands, to the north. The Miraflor Reserve is used mostly for coffee production and some cattle ranching. That's not exactly a reserve by most standards, but farmers there have made an agreement to limit land use in certain ways to preserve the area's natural beauty. On the heels of that, many of the farms have built accommodations for travelers. There's an office in town where I arrange a trip to Miraflor, and the young, Spanish-speaking receptionist tells me how to catch a bus to the reserve the following morning. I return to Hotel Nicarao where I ask the night guard if he can wake me up at 5 a.m. In the morning, I board an old American school bus that winds its way up into the mountains on a road of rock and dust. Sleeping on treacherous bus journeys—while second nature to Central Americans—is a skill I've only just begun to acquire. It helps, of course, to practice at 5:30 am. Luckily, I'd been chatting with Leonel, the man sitting next to me, about my destination, because he wakes me up at the fork in the road that leads deeper into the reserve. My instructions are to exit the bus at this fork and walk twenty or thirty minutes up the road. A man on horseback at the crossroads sees me exit the bus, and waits. To my surprise, he offers me his horse. Typically wary of helpful people while traveling, I politely refuse his help. "No, gracias," I tell him, "It's good exercise." He rides alongside me as I walk, and I discover that he's the pastor of the local church. He escorts me to the farm where I'll be staying for the next couple of days, and walks in to chat with the women in the open-air kitchen as they prepare eggs with tortillas and fresh coffee for breakfast. Clearly my caution was unnecessary. Miraflor hasn't become so overrun with visitors as to encourage scammers or thieves, and though I scorn myself for being so jaded, I'm glad my Spanish was good enough to tactfully refuse the pastor's genuine offer of help. I sit and sip locally grown and roasted coffee as hummingbirds buzz around the surrounding garden. It's a peaceful place. I spend my days in Miraflor on horseback, alongside Luis, a local guide. We ride through the boulder-strewn hillside under mossy trees. The ground is carpeted with broad, colorful leaves that remind me of a New England autumn, though the temperature must be close to a hundred degrees. Like most guides here, Luis doesn't speak a word of English, but in Spanish he points out orchids and explains coffee production as we hitch our horses by the flowering coffee plants. There's a generator that kicks on for a few hours in the evening to power a couple of buzzing lightbulbs, but I eat by candlelight just the same. The meals of grilled chicken and gallo pinto are infused with woodsmoke from the fires over which they're prepared. After dinner, I scratch in my notebook for a while and then go to bed early, already getting used to sleeping with the rhythm of the sun. After the chaos and commerce of Estelí this place is a perfect change of pace. I'm glad I put my guidebook down for a while and began to rely on my Spanish to navigate.

A disturbing video that allegedly captures the death of a young woman shot on the street during a protest has become a rallying cry for the uprising in Iran.
The graphic footage that has gone viral on the Internet shows the woman known as "Neda" collapsing onto the pavement as her eyes roll back and blood begins to pour out of her mouth and nose while fellow protesters clamor desperately to save her life.
A gunman who was "hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house aimed straight at her heart," according to a message posted by someone who claimed to have witnessed the gruesome scene. The account has not been independently verified.
"He had a clear shot at the girl and could not miss her," the witness said. "However, he aimed straight at her heart."
"I am a doctor so I rushed to try to save her," he said.
The video was most likely taken by cell phone.
Little is known about the circumstances surrounding the woman's death and it is still unclear who shot her or what her true identity is. "Neda" is Farsi for "the voice" or "the call," CNN reported.
The woman's death became a symbol for escalating violence in the region where post-election protests have led to at least 17 confimred deaths. It went viral on the web -- on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other sites.
The government banned international media from the country, which has prompted a surge of activity on social networking sites.
The video is very graphic .You can view it here.

Growth in demand for high-end smartphones is waning , a point confirmed on Friday by reports from Samsung Electronics and HTC Corp. -- and one that could be driven home by results from Apple Inc. later this month.
Both Samsung and HTC reported results on Friday during the Asian trading session. Samsung's shares slid 3.8% after it projected lower-than-expected operating profits for the June quarter, with analysts pegging slower shipments of the flagship Galaxy S4 as part of the reason for the shortfall. For its part, HTC reported a sharp decline in profits despite the introduction of the well-reviewed HTC One smartphone that was expected to help reverse the company's fortunes in the Android market.
If the Galaxy S4 and HTC One both saw disappointing sales in their launch quarter, that could paint a bleaker picture for the iPhone 5, which went on sale in late September. Apple reports its own results for the June quarter on July 23, and if last year's performance holds any indications, the period may reflect a big slowdown in iPhone sales as customers decide to wait and see what the company has in store for its next lineup of products this fall.
Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly held a summit with managers of the company's stores to outline plans to boost iPhone sales. Plans under consideration include back-t0-school incentives and a trade-in program for older iPhones, 9to5Mac reported.
Apple shares were down 1% by Friday afternoon -- the first decline in what has been an otherwise strong week for the stock. The shares had risen more than 5% in the trading sessions before the holiday on some positive commentary by analysts that perhaps most of the negative momentum had finally washed out of the stock, which remains more than 40% below its peak above the $70 0 mark when the iPhone 5 went on sale.

FOREST HILL, Texas — A pastor in suburban Fort Worth was killed Monday, Oct. 29, by an attacker who rammed a car into a church wall, chased the pastor and beat him with an electric guitar, police said.
Forest Hill police did not say why the unidentified suspect attacked the Rev. Danny Kirk Sr., the founding pastor of Greater Sweethome Missionary Baptist Church.
The suspect, who police subdued by using a Taser, died a short time after being taken into custody.
Forest Hill Police Chief Dan Dennis said the suspect drove his car into a church wall before noon Monday, apparently on purpose. The suspect got out of the car and began to attack the pastor in the parking lot before chasing him into the church, Dennis said. The church secretary hid and called 911, Dennis said.
Police arrived to find the suspect assaulting Kirk with an electric guitar that they believe was already inside the church, Dennis said. An officer used a Taser on the suspect, handcuffed him and put him in the back of a patrol car.
By then, Kirk had died, Dennis said. A maintenance worker who tried to help Kirk was injured and taken to an area hospital. His condition was unknown.
Dennis said the suspect was found unresponsive shortly after being detained and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Kirk fought back during the attack, Dennis said, but it's unclear if that played any role in the suspect's death. An autopsy was being performed on the suspect to determine the cause of death.
Dennis said he didn't know if the suspect knew Kirk, attended the church or why he might have attacked him.
Hours after the incident, hundreds of people remained outside the church, where crime-scene tape was wrapped around a small statue of Jesus near the wrecked car. Some hugged each other and cried, while others recalled Kirk as a dedicated minister who also had a bubbly personality and knew the names of the 800 church members.
"He really was concerned about our souls," Montoya McNeil, a member for eight years, said as she wiped away tears. "You looked forward to being here. … I'm not asking God why, because I know where he (Kirk) is, but we won't get those big bear hugs and those great sermons anymore."
According to former Forest Hill Mayor James Gosey, Kirk started the church years ago in a strip mall before building the red-brick church.
Kirk was also an unofficial volunteer chaplain who occasionally counseled members of a local high school football team, Fort Worth school district spokesman Clint Bond said.
"Our hearts are heavy right now," said Reginald Wilson, an associate minister.

Rosa Louise Parks
The following biographical sketch was compiled at the time of induction into the Academy in 2000 and in 2005.
Rosa Louise Parks, a native of Tuskegee, Alabama, and currently residing in Detroit, Michigan, was the recipient of more than 43 honorary doctorate degrees and hundreds of awards and citations. In 1996, President Clinton awarded her the Medal of Freedom, the highest award given to a civilian.
In the 1950s, while living in Montgomery, Mrs. Parks and her husband Raymond worked diligently with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Mr. Parks was an active member, and Mrs. Parks served as secretary and later as youth leader of the Montgomery branch office.
On December 1, 1955, Mrs. Parks refused to surrender her seat on a Montgomery city bus. This event and her resulting arrest triggered a wave of protest that reverberated throughout the nation. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a young minister who had recently moved to Montgomery, was appointed spokesperson for the Montgomery Bus Boycott that lasted 381 days. Rosa Park's quiet, courageous act on that December day helped change America and its view of African Americans and redirect the course of history.
Mrs. Parks moved to Detroit in 1957. There she was employed by Congressman John Conyers from 1965 to 1988. In February 1987, in honor of her late husband, Rosa Parks co-founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development with Elaine Eason Steele, a long-time friend and fellow activist. The purpose of the Institute is to motivate and direct youth not targeted by other programs to achieve their highest potential. As a role model for youth, Mrs. Parks encouraged young people to research the lives of other contributors to world peace. The Institute and The Rosa Parks Legacy are part of her legacy to people of good will.
On September 2, 1998, The Rosa L. Parks Learning Center was dedicated at Botsford Commons, a seniors community in Michigan. At the Center, young people mentor senior citizens on the use of computers. Mrs. Parks was a member of the first graduating class on November 24, 1998.
Mrs. Parks wrote four books. Dear Mrs. Parks: A Dialogue with Today's Youth received the NAACP's Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work (Children's) in 1996. Her latest book, I Am Rosa Parks, is written for preschoolers.
Mrs. Parks was voted by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. A museum and library in her honor were built in Montgomery.
Rosa Louise Parks was nationally recognized as the "mother of the modern day civil rights movement" in America. A quiet exemplification of courage, dignity, and determination, she was an outstanding role model for our nation's youth and a symbol of freedom to all Americans.
Rosa Parks died on October 24, 2005, at her home in Detroit.

Not sure I ever checked my opponents record to see if they get the L but I know that I receive a W when they quit. However I did see once that I got an L when leading 21-7 and a disconnect occurred and I believe the issue was on the opponents side as I never lost connectivity, so that sucked.
funny thing I've noticed, I've played 90 ranked matches and all with the Bucs. Never had I seen anyone else using the bucs until the tail end of the 5 gm win streak, which I came across 2 opponents picking the bucs to play against me.

Enzyme therapy is the use of enzymes to treat deficiencies and other medical conditions in the body. An enzyme is a macromolecule that catalyzes (speeds up) processes in the body. Enzymes help to digest food, break down toxins, cleanse the blood, strengthen the immune system, build protein into muscle, contract muscles, eliminate carbon dioxide from the lungs and reduce stress on the pancreas and other vital organs. Enzyme therapy has a wide variety of proposed medical uses, ranging from the treatment of cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency, to certain cancers or tumors. The therapy may be systemic or non-systemic, and may be administered via multiple routes of administration, most often orally, topically or intravenously.
Enzyme replacement therapy, a subdivision of enzyme therapy, is a medical treatment replacing an enzyme in patients in whom that particular enzyme is deficient or absent. Enzyme replacement therapy is usually administered through intravenous (IV) infusion. It is currently available for lysosomal diseases, such as Gaucher disease and Fabry disease.
Non-specific enzyme therapy, another subtype of the general category of enzyme therapy, does not intend the catalysis(speeding up) of definite steps of metabolism, but claims to stimulate regenerative processes in the body. Initially, non-specific enzyme therapy was considered a promising approach. The growing knowledge in basic research and the lack of evidence for clinical effectiveness rendered the predominantly oral application of enzyme preparations for non-specific treatment outdated by the 1960s. In Germany, however, the absence of strict legal regulations prevented the deregulation of drugs designed for non-specific enzyme therapy, resulting in the continued usage of these therapies.
is one of the most popular enzymes used in enzyme therapy. Bromelain is classified as an herb and contains a photolytic digestive enzyme that comes from the stem and the fruit of the pineapple plant. When taken with meals, bromelain may aid in the digestion of proteins. When taken on an empty stomach, it may act as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Trypsin, a proteolytic enzyme, is also used in enzyme therapy. When taken orally, it is often used for digestive enzyme supplementation, often in combination with lipase and amylase. It has also been combined with bromelain and rutin to treat osteoarthritis. Trypsin may be used topically to remove necrotic tissue and debris during wound and ulcer cleaning. Trypsin supplements are derived from fungi or bacterial sources, pancreas of livestock or from plant sources. It may be used to remove dead tissue cells that remain after trauma, infection or surgical procedures. This removal allows new skin or tissue cells to grow.
Chymotrypsin has been used orally to reduce inflammation and edema (swelling) associated with abscesses, ulcers, surgery or trauma. This enzyme is also used as an expectorant in asthma and other pulmonary diseases, and in reducing liver stress. Topically, it is used for inflammatory and infectious disorders. It can also be used as an inhalant, intramuscular injection or opthalmically. It has ingredients that are proteolytic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, which are all thought to reduce tissue destruction.
Pancreatic enzymes were reportedly first used to treat cancer in 1902 by John Beard, a Scottish scientist. In the 1920s, Dr. Edward Howell introduced enzyme therapy to the United States. Howell believed that by eating raw meat, people created an enzyme surplus, which resulted in better health and increased resistance to disease. German researchers later used enzyme therapy to treat patients with multiple sclerosis, cancer and viral infections. Some enzyme mixtures are still commonly used in several European countries.
Enzyme therapy is a subject of debate in the medical community, as many physicians and other health practitioners do not accept it. There is little or no scientific evidence that enzyme supplements are successful in treating certain diseases, such as cancer. Because enzyme therapies are promoted as dietary supplements (and not as drugs), manufacturers can market them in the United States without proving they are effective, or even safe, as long as they do not claim they can prevent, treat or cure a specific disease. This leads many physicians to believe that enzyme therapy may be an unsafe treatment for patients. Experts question whether enzymes taken as oral supplements can even reach tumors, or other sites of action, through the bloodstream because they are often broken down into amino acids before being absorbed in the digestive tract. Further well-controlled trials are needed to draw any firm recommendations.
Theory / Evidence
Combinations of hydrolytic enzymes, those that break down a substance using water, have been used in the treatment of a variety of diseases for a long time. Their pharmacology, however, is being recognized only in the last few decades. The following pharmacological effects of combinations of oral hydrolytic enzymes have been reviewed: fibrinolytic (breaks down a certain protein), hemorheologic (changes properties of blood flow), anti-edematous (anti-swelling), anti-inflammatory and immune stimulating. These pharmacological effects are classified on four levels: biochemical, physiological, medical, and immunological. A spectrum of indications of enzyme therapy has been inferred based on the pharmacological effects, including inflammations, traumatological events, surgical interventions, autoimmune and immune complex diseases, rheumatological diseases, viral infections and malignant tumors.
Despite the success of enzyme therapy for certain conditions, treatment may be limited by the cost of the agent. This makes it important to determine the lowest effective initial and maintenance doses of the enzyme preparation, to define the appropriate clinical indications for treatment, and to establish uniform methods to optimize outcome assessment. The value of treatment for asymptomatic individuals has not been determined. General population screening for affected individuals and for carriers is not appropriate at this time. As a prototype for all rare diseases, the plight of patients with Gaucher disease raises difficult financial and ethical issues.
Numerous clinical studies have been initiated since the 1960s by the leading producer of enzyme preparations in Germany in hopes to provide the previously missing scientific confirmation. Studies have shown that neither the mechanism of action could be demonstrated, nor the clinical benefit of non-specific enzyme therapy proven on an acceptable level of scientific standards.
: Several preliminary studies suggest that when taken by mouth, bromelain may reduce inflammation or pain caused by inflammation, although better quality studies are needed to confirm these results. It is proposed that bromelain may be a useful addition to other therapies used for sinusitis (such as antibiotics) due to its ability to reduce inflammation and swelling. Studies report mixed results, although overall bromelain appears to be beneficial for reducing swelling and improving breathing in patients with sinusitis. A bromelain-derived debriding agent, Debridase®, has been studied on deep second degree and third degree burns with positive results, but further results are needed to confirm these preliminary results. Moreover, there is not enough information to recommend the use of bromelain in the treatment of cancer, either alone or in addition to other therapies. Although bromelain is an enzyme with the ability to digest proteins, there is little reliable scientific research on whether bromelain is helpful as a digestive aid.
Pancreatic enzyme therapy
: The theory behind pancreatic enzyme therapy is to restore normal gastrointestinal physiology as completely as possible by supplementing deficient pancreatic enzymes. Pancreatic enzyme therapy such as the prescription product Pancrease®, is commonly used to treat pain associated with chronic pancreatitis. However, some studies have found no significant benefit of the therapy to relieve pain associated with chronic pancreatitis. Scientific research suggests that chronic pain may be reduced with other forms of alternative medicine. For example, bromelain,
and therapeutic touch have been proven to effectively treat symptoms of pain. Although administration of large amounts of proteases as enzyme therapy has provided pain relief in some pancreatitis patients, the rationale for using enzymes to relieve pain in chronic pancreatitis has not been generally accepted. Administered enzymes may be destroyed by gastric acid, resulting in malabsorption of the enzymes. Also, acidic conditions in the duodenum decrease the efficacy of pancreatic enzymes administered with meals. Histamine-H2-receptor antagonists may decrease gastric acidity but there are certain drawbacks to long-term use of these agents. The use of enteric-coated microspheres overcomes many of the problems associated with enzyme destruction. Patients with chronic pancreatitis display considerable individual variation in their treatment requirements. Therapy must be tailored to meet the need for adequate disease control as well as for social and emotional acceptability by the patient. The attending physician and the patient share the responsibility for maintaining appropriate therapy.
Fabry's disease
: Fabry's disease (also known as Anderson-Fabry disease, Angiokeratoma corporis diffusum, and ceramide trihexosidosis) is a rare, X-linked inherited lysosomal storage disease. A deficiency of the enzyme alpha galactosidase causes a glycolipid (ceramide trihexoside) to accumulate in blood vessels and other tissues and organs, impairing their function. Some of the pathological symptoms include skin lesions, episodes of fever and burning in the extremities. The skin lesions present as painless, elevated bumps that appear all over the body. Ocular involvement may also be present. The disease, if untreated, results in death in early adulthood, usually due to renal failure because of proteinuria (protein in the urine) induced hypertension. Enzyme replacement using agalsidase alpha (Replagal®) and agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®), is now used to treat this disease, but remains problematic due to the cost (about $170,000/year/patient).
Gaucher disease
: Gaucher disease is a common lipid storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, leading to an accumulation of its substrate, a fatty substance called glucocerebroside. Symptoms may include enlarged spleen and liver, liver malfunction, skeletal disorders and bone lesions that may cause pain, severe neurological complications, swelling of lymph nodes and occasionally adjacent joints, distended abdomen, a brownish tint to the skin, anemia (low iron), low blood platelets and yellow fatty deposits on the white of the eye (sclera). Enzyme replacement treatment with recombinant glucocerebrosidase enzyme, 60 units/kg, has been given intravenously every two weeks to decrease liver and spleen size, reduce skeletal abnormalities, and reverse other manifestations of the disease.
Lysosomal storage disorders
: Enzyme replacement therapy for the lysosomal storage disorders derives its momentum from the successes achieved in the treatment of Gaucher disease. The development of enzyme replacement therapy for Gaucher disease may possibly be applicable to other lysosomal storage diseases.
Lymphatic edema
: A study evaluating the contribution of proteolytic enzymes used in the treatment of the lymphatic edema (swelling) of the arm after mastectomy and radiotherapy for breast cancer showed that proteolytic enzymes were successfully administered in monotherapy of lymphatic edema as well as supportive therapy.
Herpes zoster
: Herpes zoster is an acute, localized infection that requires an effective, inexpensive form of treatment not only because it impairs quality of life, but also on account of its relatively high incidence and the resulting costs incurred. Given the present situation in the health care sector, the high costs of treatment with the standard drug, acyclovir, often mean that herpes zoster patients do not receive medicinal therapy. In a recent study, over a period of 14 days, two groups of 96 patients each were given acyclovir or an enzyme combination preparation. During the course of the study, the intensity of segmental pain and various skin lesions were investigated. Overall, the enzyme combination preparation showed identical efficacy with acyclovir. Further investigations on the immunomodulatory potency, dosage and effects on pain due to herpes zoster are still required.
: The clinical responses to the enzyme L-asparaginase led to renewed interest in other enzymes that might be effective antitumor agents. Biochemical and nutritional studies on animal and human tumors have shown that enzymatic depletion of glutamine, arginine, cysteine, citrulline, and serine could have selective cytotoxicity for some tumors. Several glutaminase-asparaginase enzymes may have antitumor activity in animals and man. These enzymes are currently in phase I trials, and the exact type of tumors they work on is yet to be determined. Arginine-depleting enzymes with suitable properties of therapy have been developed and are in preclinical study. Based on the available research, no enzyme has been found that can adequately deplete circulating levels of cysteine, citrulline, or serine for treatment of cancer
Wound debridement
: Enzyme therapy, the application of microbial proteases in particular, is one way of removing necrotic tissues from purulent, or discharging, wounds. The use of proteolytic enzymes combined with the methods of early closure of granulated wounds considerably may reduce the terms of treatment of patients with purulent wounds.

The technique with which enzyme therapy is administered varies depending on the condition that is being treated. For example, if the enzyme therapy is being used for an enzyme deficiency, generally only the deficient enzyme will be replaced by either oral or intravenous administration of that particular enzyme. If the therapy is being used for debridement of a wound, the enzyme will be applied topically.
Enzyme supplements are available in pills, capsules, and powders. Supplements often consist of combinations of several different enzymes. Large amounts of supplements are often taken each day. There is currently no established safe or effective dose.
Patients using enzyme treatment for cancer therapy often take very large doses of multiple enzymes along with vitamin and mineral supplements. The enzymes are generally taken by pill form, and the exact number depends on the individual patient's condition.
Most pancreatic enzyme preparations that are administered today are porcine (from pigs) in origin and must meet certain standards of quality for human consumption. The quantity of enzymes to be administered depends on the amount of active lipase in the duodenum. An appropriate diet is also important for relieving symptoms of pancreatic insufficiency and improving nutritional status. Patients with chronic pancreatitis display considerable individual variation in their treatment requirements.
A health professional should always be consulted before starting enzyme therapy. Enzyme therapy may have harmful interactions with other drugs or supplements.
: Interactions have been noted with some antibiotics, blood pressure drugs, anti-cancer drugs, drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (like aspirin, anticoagulants or warfarin (Coumadin®)), anti-platelet drugs (like clopidogrel (Plavix®)), antidepressants, alcohol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Motrin® or Advil®) or naproxen (Naprosyn® or Aleve®), narcotics (like codeine), potato protein, soybeans, and herbs or supplements with similar effects.
Human studies suggest that bromelain may increase the absorption of some antibiotics, notably amoxicillin and tetracycline, and increase levels of these drugs in the body. Bromelain may increase the actions of the chemotherapy (anti-cancer) drugs 5-fluorouracil and vincristine, although reliable scientific research in this area is lacking. In theory, use of bromelain with blood pressure medications in the "ACE inhibitor" class such as captopril (Capoten®) or lisinopril (Zestril®) may cause larger drops in blood pressure than expected.
A typical dose for adults (18 years and older) is 80-1000 milligram tablets up to three times daily. Dosing for children is not determined. There is not enough scientific research to recommend safe use of bromelain in children.
Some experts suggest that bromelain may cause drowsiness or sedation, and may increase the amount of drowsiness caused by some drugs. Examples include benzodiazepines such as lorazepam (Ativan®) or diazepam (Valium®), barbiturates such as phenobarbital, narcotics such as codeine, some antidepressants, and alcohol. Caution is advised while driving or operating machinery.
: According to current available literature, there are no well-documented interactions. However, this does not mean there are no associated risks. Oral dosage in the combination product Phlogenzym®, which contains rutin 100mg, trypsin 48mg, and bromelain 90mg, has been given as two tablets three times daily for osteoarthritis.
: This enzyme is contraindicated in ocular surgery cases involving congenital cataracts, high vitreous pressure and a gaping incisional wound, or if the patient is twenty years old or younger. Oral dosages in a 6:1 ratio (trypsin: chymostrypsin) in a combined amount of 100,000 units USP four times daily has been used to treat inflammation, edema, and respiratory secretions. The same ratio of 200,000 units USP has been used four times daily for ten days to treat burns.
