US says China further exacerbating tensions in Tibet
[Thursday, December 06, 2012 16:54]
DHARAMSHALA, December 6: The United States government has expressed its "deep concern and sadness" over the "increasing frequency" of self-immolations by Tibetans and blamed China for further exacerbating tensions in the region.
The U.S. Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues Maria Otero in a statement issued December 5 accused Chinese authorities of responding to the wave of fiery protests with "measures that tighten already strict controls on freedoms of religion, expression, assembly and association of Tibetans."
"The United States is deeply concerned and saddened by the continuing violence in Tibetan areas of China and the increasing frequency of self-immolations by Tibetans," Otero said. "Official rhetoric that denigrates the Tibetan language, the Dalai Lama, and those who have self-immolated has further exacerbated tensions."
In February 2009, Tabey became the first known Tibetan inside Tibet to set himself on fire protesting China's rule. Since then 92 Tibetans have self-immolated, demanding freedom and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile. The recent escalation in protests witnessed 28 self-immolations in the month of November and massive protests by thousands of Tibetans, including by school students.
Otero, who also serves as the Under Secretary for Civilian Security, Democracy and Human Rights in the Obama Administration noted that senior U.S. officials have directly raised the issue of Tibetan self-immolations with their Chinese government counterparts.
"The U.S. Government has consistently urged the Chinese government to address policies in Tibetan areas that have created tensions," the statement reads. "These policies include increasingly severe government controls on Tibetan Buddhist religious practice and monastic institutions; education practices that undermine the preservation of Tibetan language; intensive surveillance, arbitrary detentions and disappearances of Tibetans, including youth and Tibetan intellectual and cultural leaders; escalating restrictions on news, media and communications; and the use of force against Tibetans seeking peacefully to exercise their universal human rights."
Last week, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor, Michael Posner met with family members of three Tibetan self-immolators in Washington D.C. Without revealing the identities of the family members, fearing Chinese retribution, the State Department said that Posner expressed Washington's "deepest condolences and grave concern" over the critical situation in Tibet.
Otero, who has met the Dalai Lama on several occasions, called on China to engage in dialogue with the Tibetan spiritual leader, while expressing her hope that the "tragic acts of self-immolation end."
"We call on the Chinese Government to permit Tibetans to express their grievances freely, publicly, peacefully, and without fear of retribution. We call on China's leaders to allow journalists, diplomats and other observers unrestricted access to China's Tibetan areas. We call on the Chinese Government to engage in dialogue with the Dalai Lama or his representatives without preconditions."
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi last month, the Dalai Lama said China's repressive policies and the unbearable situation in Tibet are forcing Tibetans to set themselves of fire in Tibet.
"The unbearable situation in Tibet is the cause for these unfortunate events. I am very sad about the turn of events. These are symptoms of fear, hard line suppressive policy practiced by China in Tibet. The time has come for China to think more realistically," reporters quoted the 77-year-old Tibetan spiritual leader as saying.

Questions and Answers
Sweet message for my boyfriend while he is busy?
When your boyfriend is busy it is important that you leave him a sweet message without needing a reply to the message or expect a message to come back to you instantly. Certain messages will cause him to be angry when you send them if the message is one that needs a reply such as these messages:
"What are you doing?"
"Can you talk right now?"
"Do you love me?"
"When are you going home?"
See messages like these cause him to know that he needs to reply, but is too busy to do it so in response you may not get anything or you may get a short message which will cause you to be upset at his response.
Messages such as these are acceptable:
1. "Just saying that I love you and hope you have a good day"
2. "I love you just wanted to say that hopefully, it brightens up your day"
3. " I know you are busy but just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you"
My boyfriend is too busy. What to say?
He is busy in his brother's wedding preparation. We don't talk, and it has been two months. what should I say to start the talk? how can I call him to meet?
Text him and offer to help him with the preparation. Let him know that you want to see him but understand that he has things to do for the wedding so you would like to help him and spend time with him at the same time. Wedding preparations usually do not take 24/7 dedication so he may be distancing himself for other reasons.
If he rejects the offer to spend time then you need to ask him why he is avoiding you. He may then give you the real reason or, at least, give you some of his time. There will be an awkward reconnecting period between you two but if you and he are willing to make the effort, things will work out.
My boyfriend is always busy with his study?
He is just busy with his studying
Understand that his education takes priority. Summers and holiday breaks will be what you can look forward to so perhaps ask if he would like you to plan some summer activities and focus on that. You should still text him to keep the communication going because at least you will be able to say hello without disturbing him too much.
My boyfriend is too busy with his school or is he making up excuses to not talk to me?
My boyfriend and I are all in different varsity and he's too busy with his school work. He hardly replies my SMS or if he did, he will cut our conversation short. I find it hard to SMS or call him, and all I do is wait for him to look for me which will happen once or never in a week. I feel like he's wasting my time.
When you are in school and there is the pressure of exam preparation and dorm social life, relationships can get pushed to the side. Have a conversation with him that right now it might be best if you both start seeing other people or at put your relationship on hold. It is not fair to try to hang on to a few calls or texts a month.
If your relationship is what you would consider serious then the next time you are together you should think about putting a spy app on his phone if you have any doubts that he may be meeting other girls then you will at least get your answer of just how busy he is with school work vs. social interaction.

Hi, my boyfriend said he has been too busy lately which caused him to be cold and distant?
Hi, my boyfriend said he has been too busy lately which caused him to be cold and distant. Our text conversation is becoming less and he usually replies with one or two words. Now, I try not to contact him for days and he doesn't even bother to text. I don't know what to do. His last message to me was I love you too when I said I love you. He still calls me babe, Hun and our terms of endearment but I honestly feel he is already losing interest. I have tried: Talking to him, told him how I felt, how to resolve it. I think it was caused by: Our misunderstanding last time where he didn't like my attitude
Continue to text him and be careful of that attitude. You can still get ruffled with anger but watch how you convey it. He backed off because he is avoiding conflict. Continue to send him messages of endearment and give him some time to adjust. Hopefully, he will begin to feel comfortable around you again soon.
He is always busy and stressed out about money issues. We live together?
He doesn't spend much time with me. Intimate moments disappeared. I have tried: Talking with him, give options... I think it was caused by: He has been on his own long time

My boyfriend doesn't want me. How do I grab his attention?
I know that he loves me. He tells me whenever he gets the chance. But there are times that I try to see if he'd fight to keep me, and he doesn't. He wouldn't chase after me. I've never felt so unimportant in my whole life. I'm constantly trying to show him that I love him and he responds with moments that feel like he's saying, "Okay. That's nice but I'm busy." And that kills me. I don't know if my body's trying to play catch up because I've never kissed a guy before him, but I kind of just always want to be kissing him... But he's not the same way. He couldn't care less if I never kiss him again. I can't help but feel alone. My friends don't talk to me as much anymore... Garrett has even been hanging out with me less. He hung out with me all the time when we were just friends. A part of me can't help but wonder, If I broke up with him, would he hang out with me again? But I love him! I can't break up with him! I wouldn't be able to spend the time with him the way I wanted. You'd think that since I've got a boyfriend now, I'd feel less alone. . .... But actually... I feel even more alone. I love him, but I hate this. I have tried: I've thrown myself at him every chance I've gotten, but the response has always been a resounding, "not now"
And I've tried the "Fine, I'm not interested either" act, but, he just says, "Okay." and walks away.
I've tried confronting him about it, but then he says he doesn't want to argue or lose me and I get his attention for the rest of the evening, but the next day we're back to the way things were. I think it was caused by: I don't know. He said that he could care less about sex. Maybe I'm just insecure because the first time he kissed me and the first time I said "I love you" He started to talk about his ex. When I brought that up to him, he didn't even seem to realize he did it. Maybe it's because of our sense of sarcastic humor that he never knows when I'm being serious or not.
Maybe I'm just insane because I just want him to myself all the time.

I broke out with my boyfriend in July last year but am not sure whether I did right?
He is a trader, traveling a lot and really dedicated to his work. I was clear about this but he couldn't make time for me during one year. During this year he was replying to most of my texts but was always abroad or sick. In May last year a friend of mine spotted him having a drink with a woman in a neighboring town . I texted him saying that I saw him there. He asked why I didn't stop to say hello. I answered that I found it inappropriate given the nature of his appointment. He said, "not at all". A short time after he asked me out for dinner but didn't make it didn't cancel the appointment and didn't apologize. Then, his father had an open heart surgery. I recreated a profile in the social network where we met and where he still had a profile. I had immediately invisible person visits and found out that my ex-boyfriend created a new profile of him and was being very active. I texted him saying that I was back to this social network as 1 year of never happening appointments made it clear that there was a good reason for things not to happen. He didn't react. I continue having invisible visitor's visits to my profile and strange enough at the same time when my ex-boyfriend first visited as an invisible person and then contacted a woman who I know to ask her to go out. I suspect that he keeps an eye on me. I'm wondering whether I did the right thing as it seems that I have unresolved feelings for him. What shall I do ? Please advise. Thank you

Is my boyfriend facing some difficulties?
Hi, I am in a relationship for 2 months now. At first, my boyfriend was so eager to do everything for me. He often calls and texts me, and we often meet. As time passed, I have observed that he used to call and text me only morning (good morning) and evening (goodnight). All of a sudden. Lately, I was admitted to the hospital for half a day (stomach ache). He called me to say how I am feeling. I was expecting that he will visit me at home, unfortunately, he never called me back for a follow-up check and never visited me at home. I spoke to him and asked so many questions regarding this issue and he just answered that he knew that I am well. Please help me, which step should I go through.

What to do when you boyfriend answers really late?
Relationship with my boyfriend started 2 weeks ago. We both study at the same university, and he wants to see me all the time. The problem is we don't see each other every day surely, so the main communication item here is texting. But he really answers my messages slowly, in 2-3 hours. Most of the times he is the one who writes me first, but when I write him back, it takes really long for him to answer. I told him many times about this issue, and he just told me he is busy (with his friends, or some other stuff). I really hate when he replies late, and every time I told him he seem to understood. But he keeps doing it, and I don't know what to do. Please help me with this issue. I have tried: I told him about this issue, he seems to understood but continues doing it. I think it was caused by: He tells he is busy. He says he has the stuff to do, or he is with his friends and does not have time to check for messages every minute.

My boyfriend behaves weird, his phone is always busy especially late night?
Hi, I am in a relationship since 2 years and my boyfriend was never like that, now it seems he has started losing interest or probably he is cheating on me. Last whole week we had a fight and could not meet, otherwise, we use to meet every day, I was unwell so could not meet him. We had few fights and issues going on between us but we do meet regularly no matter what. His life was like open book previously, now since last week whenever I try calling him his phone is busy. Previously he used to tell me he was on a call with this friend, that one, etc. I believe in giving space but late nights calls and avoiding me is creating doubts inside me. I tried asking him and clarifying with him but this time he just denied everything and told me not to control him and to focus on health issues. At the same time, he tells me he is not dating anyone less but he is not opening up about late night calls to my calls go on waiting and he is not bothered to reply back and keeps telling me I am spying on him. Please help I tried talking to him he says his life is open book but I think he is cheating on me.

How to be affected less by the fact that my boyfriend's communication has reduced a whole lot?
My boyfriend works full time and he recently started a part-time MBA degree. both of these are stressing him out. I don't completely understand what he is going through but I want to be supportive and I am sometimes but he barely texts me. I feel forgotten and not special enough and as his girlfriend, I want his attention. I know am being selfish but I don't know what to do. am thinking maybe it's because uni is closed and I haven't kept myself well occupied but at the same time I don't want our relationship to be drowning because of us both being so occupied with life and its challenges that we forget each other.. I have tried: I have tried telling him about him, I have tried remaining positive and I have tried keeping myself distracted. I think it was caused by: His work and school pressure. he has many school deadlines

Total change in my boyfriend's character.. please help?
I met my boyfriend when I went in search of a job in London ..and he too was a guy from my same country and we just got along so well ..as our native country was the same and we speak the same native language.. we lived together with few other friends and things fired up between us gradually and we made out one day ...and from then on we were like couple who always hold hands .. . initially I wasn't much emotionally connected with him but he was... he used to see me every day .. he just cannot live without seeing me and he would feel restless if he doesn't hear from me when he is at work.. . . after 4 months of our togetherness...we both decided to quit our jobs in London and planned to move back to our native to start our career in our homeland... but ever since we got back.. he is a total new person .. seems like to me here in his native he has much more diversions like his friends ,family, etc..and I'm given the least priority ... in fact I have to beg him to meet me .for no reason he changed his character.. and I'm wondering if he was all that nice in London because he was alone with no family and friends,..and he had only me ..so he and I were like a couple, but ever since we both are in same native just 6miles in distance.. he doesn't even come to visit me .. and if I make this an issue and stop talking to him ,..he doesn't even initiate or try to contact me... its been 10days since he has called or texted me .. but he was not this type of a person back in London. (he would get really upset even if I didn't reply for 30mins, he would leave his work and come to check on me). . please help me... I want my boyfriend to change like how he was :(. I'm totally confused.
when I didn't care about him, he was very caring.
but it has been 3 months of wonderful love in London and I'm sure it cannot be this quick to get boring.
we started dating in April 2016 our love lasted only until July, after that its been only me nagging how he has changed and not like before, and he always seems to have reasons and it doesn't sound all that busy!

On Tuesday, my BF and I got into an argument. It basically started with talking about him going to Vegas this weekend for a Bachelor party and about the girls there. He got defensive and said "I'm allowed to talk to girls" and then went downhill
I tried texting him Wednesday and today and have yet to hear from him. I tried apologizing for the way I acted on Tuesday, but complete radio silence on his end. I told him I'm done trying to contact him this weekend and I'll see him when he gets home from Vegas on Sunday.
I am(?) supposed to pick him up on Sunday from the airport. So today, I texted him and said I would like to still pick him up from the airport on Sunday so he doesn't waste $40+ dollars on an Uber home and he didn't respond. So now idk what I am supposed to do on Sunday
He's clearly still mad at me. (When he's mad or we fight, he goes silent on me.
We are supposed to go on a trip in 2 weeks with his brother and bro's gf… Am I supposed to assume that the trip is off?

Proposals to raise nearly £200m by increasing court fees have been condemned as "not fit for purpose" by an internal government review in a highly unusual, public rebuke of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).
The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC), an independent advisory body , has issued a scathing analysis of plans backed by the justice secretary, Chris Grayling. The assessment comes in a rare RPC "red report".
The MoJ impact assessment of "enhanced court fees" was published last month. The changes involve raising the costs of obtaining a divorce and other civil claims in an attempt to generate an extra £190m a year in income for Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS).
Last year the then lord chief justice, Lord Judge, warned about the dangers of undermining independence of the judiciary through privatising the courts service, making it self-financing or introducing cross-subsidising of one section of the court service by another.
The RPC report, published on the government's own website this week, declares: "The [MoJ's] impact assessment] is not fit for purpose. The department needs to make clear whether the proposal will result in the court service raising more funds than is necessary to cover their costs."
The committee's reports are colour-coded: green, amber and red. Red reports are normally withdrawn once the department adjusts its plans. Publication of a red notice is rare: only 12 have been issued in the past three years, and they often lead to departments revising their proposals.
In its notice, the committee says: "The proposed change is intended to increase the fees charged to some users of the civil and family courts system beyond the level necessary to recover costs. This would produce additional revenue to fund other areas of the civil and family courts system.
"The impact assessment lacked clarity. The Ministry of Justice has not explained sufficiently the outcome the proposal is intended to achieve – whether the proposal will result in the court service generating an adequate level of revenue to meet its costs, or whether a surplus will be generated."
The committee's report describes some of the department's proposals as being "without any supporting evidence or discussion of the risk".
The report is an embarrassment for Grayling, who has promised to deliver large savings from his department but is also engaged in a protracted row with the legal profession over separate plans to slice £220m out of the annual criminal legal aid bill.
As well as potentially limiting Grayling's room for financial manoeuvre, the RPC's criticism may resonate with opponents of the justice secretary who have accused him of producing plans that need repeated revision and lack sufficient evidence.
The RPC specialises in reviewing government-produced impact assessments to ensure that the evidence for new policies is sufficient to support new legislative initiatives.
The MoJ's courts minister, Shailesh Vara, said: "We have the best court
system in the world, and we must make sure it is properly funded so we keep
it that way.
"Hardworking taxpayers should not have to subsidise millionaires embroiled
in long cases fighting over vast amounts of money, and we are redressing
that balance.
"Vulnerable groups must also be protected, which is why we are keeping the
fees the same for sensitive family issues, including adoption applications
and child contact, and scrapping the application fee for victims of domestic
violence seeking injunctions to protect themselves."

SCHRIEVER — As his firefighters and other emergency personnel mopped up the scene of early morning crash that left one driver dead, Schriever Volunteer Fire Chief Ken Pitre heard the unmistakable explosion of a second collision.
Behind him.
SCHRIEVER — As his firefighters and other emergency personnel mopped up the scene of early morning crash that left one driver dead, Schriever Volunteer Fire Chief Ken Pitre heard the unmistakable explosion of a second collision.
Behind him.
Lance Bordelon, a 22-year-old from Vacherie, was allegedly drunk and speeding about 2:15 a.m. Saturday, when he came around the sharp curve on West Park Avenue in front of the Schriever fire station. Despite a barrage of flashing lights ahead of him, Bordelon allegedly accelerated as he entered the curve, losing control of his 1997 GMC pickup and careening over wet grass toward the group of firefighters, police and their vehicles.
He smashed into a Chevy pickup owned by the state Department of Transportation and flipped, ending up in the same canal where 20-year-old Mitchell Byrd of Nederland, Texas, who also was allegedly driving drunk, died two hours earlier.
Byrd's passenger survived.
The firefighters Bordelon might have plowed over had he come around the curve a few minutes earlier pulled him from the truck unharmed. He was wearing his seat belt, police said.
"This scared the living hell out of me," Pitre said. A transportation worker repairing the stop sign Byrd knocked over, Travis Cortez, barely managed to get away from the truck before Bordelon barreled into it, smashing the passenger side in two feet. Both trucks wound up in the water.
Fed up with the curve and drivers who routinely and recklessly flout the speed limit and the bounds of common sense, Pitre had his firefighters erect a message up Tuesday night on the letter board outside the department's station on West Park Avenue, just yards from where the back-to-back crashes happened.
"We like to go fishing, but not for bodies in the bayou," it read. "Slow down."
He took the sign down Wednesday after residents complained that the message might be hurtful for Byrd's family. But he does not apologize.
"We took it down in respect to people saying its upsetting and all that. But what these people don't realize is how close people came to getting killed Saturday morning," Pitre said, adding that he hoped the message sinks in. "That's frustration and knowing how close we came to losing a number of firefighters because of speed and alcohol."
Pitre said firefighters sitting inside the station, which is near the St. George Bridge, routinely hear tires squealing as vehicles struggle to make the curve at high speed.
"We witness people drag-racing through the curve," Pitre said. "Try to come out with a fire truck with those people coming at you."
Including Byrd, two people have died and another was seriously injured over the last two years at the curve. All three crashes involved alcohol, State Police said.
This year there were 17 crashes on La. 24 between the Schriever overpass and milemarker .7, just north of the Lost Bridge. That's a stretch of road that measures about 7/10 of a mile.
Six crashes resulted in minor injures and three others produced moderate injuries, State Police said.
Last year there were 14 crashes in the same area.
South Central Planning and Development succeeded in getting the Department of Transportation and Development to raise the speed limit from 45 to 50 on Main Street and to 55 mph on Park Avenue in 2005.
The Terrebonne Parish Council approved the changes in February 2005 by an 8-1 vote. Councilwoman Teri Cavalier voted against the change, calling it "an accident waiting to happen."
Since then, Pitre has lobbied to reduce the speed limit.
"If you slow the whole tempo down, you may reduce some of the accidents, you may reduce some of the fatalities," Pitre said. "If you slow the traffic down in general, things will be better."
To lower the speed limit the Parish Council would have to make a request, Department of Transportation spokesman Dustin Annison said.
But dangerous drivers can ignore a lower limit just as they flout the existing one.
"Driving behavior contributes to the vast majority of all wrecks," Annison said.
And that's why Pitre hopes his sign got the attention of drivers, even for a little while.
"The message is: SLOW DOWN, we don't want you to be the next statistic," he wrote in a letter posted on the department's Web site.

Barge and riverboat travel is about as leisurely a means of travel as one can find, and it continues to gain popularity with travelers intent on becoming acquainted with the countryside, especially in Europe, where cruises on rivers and canals are generally offered from April to November.
Barge cruises are found primarily in Belgium, England, France, the Netherlands and Sweden, and river cruisers operate in Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Russia, Switzerland and Ukraine on the Danube, the Dnepr, the Elbe, the Main, the Rhine and the Volga, and through the Main-Danube Canal.
Barges seldom carry more than 32 passengers. Many are former freight-carrying vessels and are often operated by individual owners, but groups of owners have formed marketing associations. Two such associations are Continental Waterways, which recently added the 22-passenger Caprice and the 24-passenger Mirabelle to its fleet -- now totaling 10 barges -- and European Waterways, which represents 14 barges and recently announced that passengers who reserve cruises that begin on March 6 and March 13 through its electronic reservation center will earn American Airlines frequent flier miles.
Most barge trips are six nights long. Fares range from $1,490 to $2,290 a person in double occupancy on Continental Waterways' barges and from $1,990 to $3,590 on European Waterways' barges.Continue reading the main story
Elsewhere, the most popular rivers are on the Nile, the Irrawaddy in Myanmar, the Yangtze, the Amazon, the St. Lawrence, the Mississippi, the Columbia and the Sacramento. The Yukon, from the Yukon Territory through Alaska to the Bering Sea and a supply route for Klondike gold seekers a century ago, is also becoming more traveled.
Holland America Westours is scheduled to replace the authentic riverboat Yukon Queen in May with a 98-foot, 100-passenger aluminum-hull sightseeing craft, Yukon Queen II, for daily eight- to-nine-hour round trips past abandoned miners' camps and the remains of old stern-wheelers between Dawson City, Yukon Territory and Eagle, Alaska. The fare is $117 one way, $192 round trip.
Later in the year, the three paddle-wheelers of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, which operate year-round, will offer five- and seven-night fall foliage cruises on the Mississippi and the Ohio Rivers between St. Louis and St. Paul, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, Memphis and Nashville, Nashville and Cincinnati and St. Louis and Cincinnati.
A longer fall trip retraces the 1811 voyage of the New Orleans, the first steamboat on the Ohio and the Mississippi. That 14-night trip begins Oct. 23, taking passengers from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. Fares for the five-night trips begin at $900 a person in double occupancy. The 14-night trip begins at $2,490 a person.
Although barge and river cruise operators have associations and some accept reservations directly at their own offices, travelers can make reservations for almost any vessel with a travel agent or with a variety of representatives.

Rooney in England squad
By Patrick Goss
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Rooney will be joined by the likes of Matthew Upson, Paul Konchesky, Ledley King, Sean Davies, Francis Jeffers, Jermain Jenas and Scott Parker in trying to impress Sven Goran Eriksson for the first time.
James Beattie is also rewarded with his brilliant form this season with a call-up, and Eriksson is likely to hand many of the new faces their first caps in the game.
Rooney has exploded onto the scene this year, and his inclusion in the 27-man squad is not a surprise.
The Everton youngster has already been voted BBC young sports personality of the year, and has shown signs of brilliance for Everton - despite manager David Moyes' intelligent decision not to overuse his young gem.
Birmingham City's Matthew Upson has started well for his new team since sealing a move from Arsenal, and the cultured defender will be hopeful of making a good impression.
Charlton duo Paul Konchesky and Scott Parker have been mainstays of the England Under-21 squad and The Addicks' impressive showing season this year has seen the duo pushed up into the senior squad.
Ledley King has been forced to withdraw from the senior squad in the past through injury, whilst Jermaine Jenas has been outstanding for the rejuvenated Newcastle United.
Frank Lampard and Richard Wright have been awarded for their superb form this season with recalls to the national set-up, and will both hope to feature in a hugely experimental England squad.
The average age of Eriksson's selection is less than 23-years-of-age - suggesting that the Swedish tactician believes the future to be good for England.

'Godfather' Actor Dies
Published: July 19, 2015
'Godfather' Actor Dies, Emmy-winning character actor Alex Rocco, best known for his role as mobster Moe Greene in The Godfather, died Saturday at age 79.
No other information regarding his death, announced by his daughter Jennifer on Facebook, was immediately available.
Rocco came to Los Angeles from Massachusetts in the early 1960s and trained under Leonard Nimoy of Star Trek fame. He had his film debut in Russ Meyer's Motorpsycho! and would eventually rack up more than 160 acting credits in his name.
He won an Emmy Award in 1990 for his role as a Hollywood agent in Jon Cryer comedy The Famous Teddy Z. Other memorable roles include parts in The Simpsons, Magic City, Detroit 9000 and A Bug's Life.
Of all the works in his long career, Rocco credits his part in Godfather with making his name. In Rocco's telling, the role of Moe Greene, a mobster who owns a Vegas casino, was his "biggest ticket anywhere."
"Every time I ever hear the theme from The Godfather, I always say, 'Thank you, God,'" he said in a 2012 interview with the A.V. Club.

New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY
The aim of the study was to investigate the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who had a planar QRS-T angle > 90 degrees versus ≤; 90 degrees.
Coronary angiography was performed in 1,229 consecutive patients. Obstructive CAD was diagnosed if there was > 50% obstruction of ≥ 1 major coronary artery. All QRS-T angle measurements were made from a 12-lead electrocardiogram by 2 authors who agreed on the measurement and who were blinded to the coronary angiographic findings. A QRS-T angle > 90 degrees was considered abnormal.
Obstructive CAD of 2 or 3 vessels was present in 309 of 495 patients (62%) with a planar QRS-T angle > 90 degrees and in 250 of 734 patients (34%) with a planar QRS-T angle ≤; 90 degrees (p < 0.0001). Stepwise logistic regression analyses showed that significant independent risk factors for 2- or 3-vessel CAD were age (odds ratio = 1.05), male gender (odds ratio = 1.8), black race (odds ratio = 0.34), unstable angina (odds ratio = 0.16), positive stress test (odds ratio = 3.0), hypertension (odds ratio = 3.0), dyslipidemia (odds ratio = 2.9), QRS-T angle (odds ratio = 7.2), left bundle branch block (odds ratio = 2.9), right bundle branch block (odds ratio = 0.17), smoking (odds ratio = 9.7), and body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2 (odds ratio = 1.5).
The prevalence of 2- or 3-vessel obstructive CAD was significantly higher in patients with a planar QRS-T angle > 90degrees than in patients with a planar QRS-T angle ≤; 90 degrees (p < 0.0001).
Patients with suspected CAD and a planar QRS-T angle > 90 degrees should undergo a stress test for detection of myocardial ischemia and should be treated more aggressively with medical therapy.

GLANCE at any survey of the most-admired bosses and the names of Lord Browne of BP, Tesco's Sir Terry Leahy and Sir Fred 'the Shred' Goodwin at Royal Bank of Scotland figure prominently.
Yet research for Financial Mail reveals that despite praise heaped on these titans of industry, the best returns for shareholders over the past five years have been produced by the lesser lights of the FTSE 100. Since the crash of 2000, investors have sought solace in beer and cigarettes, making Ted Tuppen, boss of Enterprise Inns, top of the league for shareholder value with a 482% return, according to the figures from financial information group Hemscott.
Also in the top ten are Imperial Tobacco, British American Tobacco and Gallaher.
The figures reflect total shareholder returns - including rising share values, dividend payouts and share buy-backs - and assume that any dividends are reinvested in shares.
Pub and tobacco groups have been relatively immune to trends in the wider economy and unfazed
by the slump in media and technology stocks. Others showing big gains for investors were building materials group Wolseley and fashion chain Next.
With the boom in emerging economies, commodity companies enjoyed impressive gains and it is no surprise to see copper producer Antofagasta and the coalminer BHP Billiton in the top ten.
Tesco was well behind, checking out a return for shareholders of 60%, while Royal Bank of Scotland gained 95% and BP a mere 5%.
The spectacular returns by some far outstrip returns from a typical bank savings account -about 16% over five years.
Though that return was meagre, savers' money was at least secure, which was not the case for those who held some shares.
The worst performer was Cable & Wireless, whose shareholders saw their investment shrink by 86%. Investors in ailing BT Group lost 72%, while shares in software company Sage Group fell 69%.
Yet there were some impressive showings even in the struggling telecoms, software and finance sectors. Mobile phones group O2 was one such a gem, returning 56%, while its peers averageda loss of 37%. Hedge fund manager Man Group, headed by Stanley Fink, is another outperformer.
Hedge funds use a range of investment techniques, including gambling on share price falls.
They have become a controversial feature of the stock market in the past five years, but Man's methods have delivered a dramatic return for shareholders of 184%, while Schroders and Amvescap, traditional-fund managers in the Footsie-lost 19% and 61% respectively.
And still with finance, mortgage bank Northern Rock benefited from the housing boom, delivering a 179% return, while High Street bank Lloyds TSB saw a fall of 5%.
Chemicals giant ICI collected the wooden spoon, underperforming the average in its sector by a stunning 1,000%.

Wolves Fall To Red-Hot Harrisburg (5-21-13)
A rain-shortened game didn't change much for Erie as the Senators extended their winning streak to five with an 8-2 victory over the SeaWolves.
The Senators got to Erie starter Matt Crouse right off the bat. Josh Johnson, returning to the lineup after battling the flu, hit a solo homer that was followed later in the inning by a two run double from Justin Bloxom to give Harrisburg an early 3-0 lead. Another solo homerun by Jeff Howell in the second made it 4-0 Senators.
Erie responded in the home half of the second. James Robbins reached on a throwing error from shortstop Johnson and moved to third on a Luis Castillo single that extended the outfielder's hitting streak to four games. Marcus Lemon tallied the RBI on a force out to make it 4-1 Senators. In the third, Jamie Johnson's lead off single led to him scoring on a double play after moving to third on a steal and a single.
With Harrisburg up 4-2, the Senators added insurance in each of the game's remaining three innings. In the fourth, Dustin Hood's solo shot gave the Senators six runs.
In the fifth, a single and walk with one out ended the day for Crouse and Tyler Clark came in to the game. Hood added two more RBI to his game total, this time driving in two Senators off a double to make it 7-2 Harrisburg.
The final run was charged to Clark in the sixth, after Anthony Rendon brought a Ricky Hague home on a sacrifice fly.
With the score 8-2, rain began to fall with two out in the Harrisburg half of the seventh, resulting in a delay that eventually led to a called game.
Harrisburg starter Caleb Clay finished with the complete game win, tossing six innings while only allowing two runs on five hits. Clark's two and a third innings of work was his longest outing of the season.
The SeaWolves and Senators resume their four game series with back-to-back 11:05 a.m. start times as Jerry Uht Park celebrates UPMC Health Plan Education Days.

Hi! I'm located in Tampa,FL and would be willing to partner up with someone local to begin organizing the February meet up. Any takers? I'm a registered nurse but currently assistant manager with one the dispensaries in the area. We as nurses have a great opportunity, dare I say responsibility, to have a hand in shaping the education and advocacy portion of medical cannabis here in FL. Let's get to it.
Stephanie, I think we need to email ACNA to begin our meet up and appoint our leaders. I'm available at email@example.com. I would love to hear from you! I'm not in a position to lead, but, will gladly assist you or another in starting this very important group. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I've spoken with the Director at Large & Membership Committee Chairman, and I'm in the process of reviewing information she's provided to create our first meet up. It would be helpful for me get a feel of what might work best for our group. Weeknights? Weekends? Afternoon or Evening? Thank you.
Is there any recent news? I'm super excited to see that there is a dispensary being built very close to me in Gainesville, Fl. Are these dispensaries going to have nurses available for patient education? I'm very curious to see how this will all work out. Thanks, ahead, for any information anyone may have!
Hello, I am located in the Daytona Beach area and would be interested in joining with any group. Tampa would be ok I only have weekends off.
Thank you.
Hi Samantha and Mary, I recently worked a booth at an ANA conference with our president Eileen. She's an inspiring person and gave me some great tips and talking points. I'm going to give 4/22/17 as the first meeting date.Considering 1PM, to give travelers time. Is that workable? I'm looking for a location in central/downtown Tampa. Tentative topics will include introduction to ACNA, goals of our group and Endocannabinoid System 101. I'll be in touch next week with more info.
That sounds like a great day/time to me! Thank you, Stephanie, for the update. Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

IF the Microsoft Corporation is the predatory monopolist that the Government claims it is, why isn't the price of its monopoly product -- its industry-standard Windows operating system -- higher?
That question is a central focus of a new study of Microsoft and the Government's antitrust suit against the company by Robert E. Hall, an economist at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. Mr. Hall helped draw up the Justice Department's 1995 consent decree with Microsoft.
The 48-page paper, ''National Policy on Microsoft: A Neutral Perspective,'' written with Mr. Hall's son, Chris Hall, an independent software developer, is being published this week and will be available on the Internet at www.netecon.com.
The paper says the Government's evidence puts it on solid ground in challenging some of Microsoft's contracts as violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, which condemns contracts that restrain trade. In an interview, Mr. Hall pointed in particular to Microsoft's pacts with America Online and other Internet service providers. These contracts require the service providers to guarantee that 75 percent or more of their customers use Microsoft's browser software, crimping the opportunity for its main rival in the browser market, Netscape Communications. For a company with so much market power, a clause like that ''shows that Microsoft really does push the limits,'' Mr. Hall said.Continue reading the main story
On the pro-Microsoft side of the ledger, the Halls find little merit in the march of Government witnesses confidently proclaiming that operating systems and browsers are distinct products, and that Microsoft fused them only to squelch competition. ''Given the complete malleability of software,'' the authors wrote, ''this is a debate at about the intellectual level of trying to decide if the Gulf of Mexico is part of the Atlantic Ocean.''
The Halls' paper focuses most sharply on the contentious subject of Windows pricing. They say ''the low price of Windows looks nothing like a monopoly price,'' amounting as it does to less than 5 percent of the total price of a personal computer.
The ''low'' price of Windows is a theme that will be forcefully presented by Richard Schmalensee, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, when he takes the stand as a witness for Microsoft. Mr. Schmalensee has been making the argument since the early 1990's, when he prepared a paper expounding the low-price thesis for the Federal Trade Commission, which investigated Microsoft before the Justice Department did.
The Windows-pricing issue is crucial to the outcome of the case and, if the Government wins, to the remedies it can seek from the court. A narrow victory under Section 1 of the Sherman Act would probably yield merely a court order that Microsoft must make its contracts less restrictive. The Justice Department did not sue Microsoft to accomplish so little.
But to win a broader, Section 2 victory, the Government must prove, among other things, that Microsoft has a monopoly, that its exclusionary conduct against potential rivals like Netscape has a ''dangerous probability'' of preventing a challenge to its monopoly and that its conduct has caused substantial harm to consumers. Only then will stronger remedies -- including, perhaps, breaking up Microsoft -- move onto the agenda.
TO try to show gouging of consumers, the Government produced in court an internal Microsoft document showing that from 1990 to 1996 the average price it charged personal-computer makers for licensing Windows rose to $49.40 from $19.03. Its share of the PC's total price grew fivefold, to 2.5 percent.
The Justice Department also produced an E-mail written on Dec. 16, 1997, by Joachim Kempin, a senior Microsoft executive, to William H. Gates, the chairman, and other company executives on the subject of Windows prices charged to PC makers. ''While we have increased our prices over the last 10 years,'' Mr. Kempin wrote, ''other component prices have come down and continue to come down.''
The Justice Department says Microsoft's ability to raise Windows prices is strong evidence that the company is overcharging. The Halls are not convinced. Given Windows' 250 million users and market share of more than 90 percent, the authors wrote, PC makers would want it even if it cost ''twice or even 10 times as much.''
Microsoft contends that the Windows price is restrained by a sense that some competitive threat, though not yet in sight, is behind the next corner -- a fearful perspective that is all over parts of the December 1997 memo. In it, Mr. Kempin wrote that a big manufacturer like Compaq Computer, or a coalition of PC makers, could finance development of a competing operating system. Or, he wrote, if the chip maker Intel enters ''our business, it will get ugly.'' (Compaq, incidentally, is sending an executive to testify in Microsoft's defense.)
For his part, Mr. Hall does not believe that the seemingly low price of Windows is explained by competition, real or feared. Instead, he suggests that the Windows price is part of Microsoft's broader strategy of making Windows PC's as cheap as possible, hooking new users and making them steady repeat buyers, not only of future generations of Windows but also of higher-priced Microsoft products like its Office suite of word processing, spreadsheet and data base software.
''The Government has to make an argument as to why Microsoft keeps the price of Windows low as part of its monopoly strategy, which harms consumers over all,'' Mr. Hall said. ''It's possible, but the Government hasn't done it yet.''Continue reading the main story

and-again.com started as a soccer coaching reference website in 1999. It evolved to become one of the best soccer coaching discussion boards on the internet. Coaches from Australia to South Africa have participated over the years. In 2012 I introduced the first Touch Box made out of PVC pipe and bungee cords. In 2013 the latest Touch Box was introduced.
Why the Touch Box?
As a kid I used to practice on the patio in my back yard. The patio turned out to be a great place to practice because it had two brick walls that were about 10 inches high and perpendicular to each other. I could stand about 7 feet from one wall and 12 feet from the other wall and practice passing and receiving day after day. I practiced turning with the ball, using the outside of my foot, receiving and making a move, and other essential soccer skills. I became a player with a good touch and I know my practice with these walls was a huge factor. The Touch Box evolved from that experience. Now every player can have a ball and a wall in their home.

Johanan Rand, M.D. – North New Jersey HCG Diet
Weight loss with the HCG diet is an effective way to lose a significant amount of weight or lose that last few pounds that will not seem to drop away.
Virtually everyone today is either trying to lose weight, or they know someone who is. There are new fad diets coming along every month, which are typically either ineffective, dangerous or both.
This is because they all work against the body's natural instincts to try to lose the weight. People learning about the HCG diet have found that this one is different because it works with the body instead of against it. In addition, this isn't some new fad diet; it was developed in 1954 from a British Doctor.
The HCG Diet Program
Those who want to know more about the HCG diet should start by knowing what exactly HCG is. It stands for human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a hormone produced in women during pregnancy. It is naturally helpful in developing the embryo after conception, and it has been proven to be effective in preventing the degenerative muscle deterioration that is very common when people go on diets.
One of the things about the HCG diet people like most is that it works so quickly. Many people are able to lose between one half and one full pound per day, and sometimes even more. Those who try the HCG diet also find that despite the lower calorie restrictions of this diet, they don't feel nearly as hungry as they thought they would have. This is because the HCG supplement also works as an appetite suppressant so they can eat low calorie diets without feeling hungry.
Some of the benefits of weight loss with the HCG Diet include:
- Rapid Weight Loss
- Relearned Eating Habits
- Reset Metabolism
- Improved Health
- More Energy
- Increased Self Confidence
- Healthier Insulin Levels
While this is not some miracle diet that is quick and simple, the diet does require dedication, and there will be times when the dieter feels hungry, just not as hungry as most people would expect. The great thing about this diet is that while it can have its difficult moments, the rapid rewards far outweigh any problems. Most people find that the fact that they can lose the weight so quickly makes the sacrifices well worth it.
The initial phases of the HCG diet are the hardest, and for most people they are only possible because of the HCG supplements that allow them to eat very little without feeling too hungry or losing muscle. Once people have lost the weight they need to lose, the long-term diet plan included with this product is actually quite reasonable and something most people can stick to the rest of their life. Since the initial weight loss is so dramatic and quick, people know that they never want to go back to being big again, and so, they are dedicated to success.
There are hundreds of great diet recipes that work for those who are on the HCG diet. Patients can eat most of their favorite foods as long as they can stick to the long-term diet and exercise guidelines. They do allow for the occasional splurging as long as it is kept to a reasonable limit. After finishing the diet, most patients feel that any sacrifices they made during the diet were worth it when they look at their slim new bodies.
