DDT, Target of Global Ban, Finds Defenders in Experts on Malaria
Published: August 29, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
On the other side are two scientists' groups, the tropical medicine society, and the Malaria Foundation International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting research. Several months ago, at the behest, curiously enough, of a Vancouver environmental lawyer and cell biologist, Amir Attaran, the foundation posted a letter about the negotiations on its Web site, arguing that ''setting a firm deadline to ban DDT places an unethical burden on the world's poorest countries.''
As of Thursday, 371 scientists, including 3 Nobel laureates, had signed. As the group's founder, Dr. Mary Galinski, a molecular biologist at Emory University in Atlanta, explained: ''We don't want a knee-jerk reaction to ban DDT.''
The debate is occurring as malaria is making a deadly comeback, re-emerging in regions where it was once under control and killing many more people than it did decades ago, at least partly because of a reduction in DDT use. The World Health Organization estimates that there are 300 million to 500 million new cases of the disease each year, and last year started a project called Roll Back Malaria to combat it.
There are drugs to treat malaria, but some patients cannot afford them and drug resistance is an increasing problem. So the best means of prevention is to keep mosquitoes from biting people. At least one expert, Dr. Donald R. Roberts of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., argues that ''DDT is the best insecticide we have today for controlling malaria.''
In the late 1970's, Dr. Roberts, a medical zoologist, traveled to Brazil to conduct experiments in malaria control. He built two houses and sprayed the inside of one with DDT. Hundreds of mosquitoes entered the unsprayed house, he said. None entered the sprayed house. Since then, Dr. Roberts has become an ardent defender of DDT. ''We have got to stop pressuring countries to stop using DDT,'' he said. ''It is immoral.''
Others, including Dr. Galinski, say they have no problem eliminating the pesticide, so long as alternatives are in place. But that is a frightening thought to Dr. Wen Kilama, a Tanzanian entomologist who in June presided over an expert panel, convened by the World Health Organization, to debate the future of the pesticide in malaria prevention.
Because mosquitoes develop resistance to pesticides, Dr. Kilama says that getting rid of DDT would be a mistake. ''The mosquitoes are very complex and one should not rely on one measure alone, particularly one type of insecticide,'' he said in a telephone interview last week. ''It's like when you fight, you have a pocketful of arrows and now you have only one arrow left.''
Tanzania no longer uses DDT; the country cannot afford it, Dr. Kilama said. But with the economy improving, he added, ''I can see a lot of hope coming up'' that Government-sponsored spraying might resume. In the meantime, some Tanzanians sleep under nets soaked in pyrethroids, another chemical. But the nets cost $4 to $5 apiece, too high a sum for many villagers, and Dr. Kilama said they work only by ''mass effect,'' which means entire neighborhoods must use them.
Further south, in Botswana, health officials have also abandoned DDT, but for a different reason. Only three countries -- China, India and Mexico -- still manufacture the pesticide, and Thandie Phindela, a malaria control officer in Botswana's Ministry of Health, said the country could not get a reliable supply this year. ''The environmentalists are trying to put pressure on the use of DDT,'' she said. ''We had to resort to pyrethroids.''
But pyrethroids are more expensive. According to Kathleen Walker, an entomologist with the E.P.A., the cost of treating one house with DDT ranges from $1.60 to $8.50, compared with $4.20 to $24 for pyrethroids. In the end, she said, some countries may have to abandon house spraying altogether and begin research on other, cheaper alternatives.
That is the World Wildlife Fund's view: its contaminants expert, Richard Liroff, urges ''more creative thinking about moving away from DDT.'' He points to an experiment in India, where gambusia -- a larvae-eating fish -- were deposited in bodies of water where mosquitoes breed. But Dr. Kilama, of Tanzania, said such steps are not practical in a country where a hippopotamus footprint after a heavy rain can create an instant breeding ground.
As the debate continues, the World Health Organization is drafting its own plan to help countries cut back on DDT. But the organization has no idea how much the effort will cost; the price tag will vary from nation to nation. As to who will pay, said Jenny Pronczuk, a chemical safety expert, ''Well, that's a problem.''

Now that is a good mom. She is not worried about her child 'liking' her or being her 'friend'. She is concerned about the skills her child will need as he grows to manhood. She knows that overcoming 'hard things' helps us all to grow, to become confident, to build real self-esteem. Drops of Awesome, Mom.

Very wise Mother and woman. We want to be popular with our children, grandchildren, etc. but it doesn't help those children grow into strong, kind and forgiving adults. Tough things make us strong, force us to reflect on what is the most important. She is a good example.

A high school graduate child of ours procrastinated getting a summer job and
ended up not having their share of money for college tuition previously agreed
upon (well before summer started). This child missed the first semester of
their college experience, lost their dorm contract, missed rooming with a good
friend, stayed home and worked that first semester, very unhappily, while their
peers began college.
Like this wise mom, we could not give our child the easy way out. This child has since thanked us for being a wall they could not get around and now takes responsibility for the successful management of their own lives.
I loved this article. What a beautiful comparison to how our Heavenly Father works with us and what a strong mom to be willing to break her own heart so her child could learn. Excellent.

This is actually a really good metaphor to explain why The Lord allows us to go through trials and opposition in this life, instead of shielding us from all pain, as a parent instinctively would want to do. Without opposition and trials, it is impossible for us to grow and progress. It also shows us how by becoming and serving as earthly parents, we are preparing ourselves for becoming spiritual parents ourselves at some point in the future after our exaltation. Everything in this life is part of being in a preparatory state, in one way or another.

Long Lost, your criticism is lost on me! Didn't you get the point that the
asthma attack was grossly overplayed by the son; that the Mom knew he
wasn't in imminent danger? In reality, he was delaying making a fearsome
choice and difficult activity.
And while I don't personally use the single colloquial word the mom used, I can appreciate that often we need to simplify terms to levels children will understand. I'd say overall, she used a rational understandable approach in her conversation with her child.
You might consider that this was in many ways a more hard thing to do for the mother than it was for the child. But both will be better off in the long run if the child learns to overcome fears and face difficult challenges.

". . . 1 in 45 children experience homelessness in the U.S. each year. That's over 1.6 million children. While homeless, these youth experience high rates of acute and chronic health problems.

Monarch School: Bringing the Invisibility of Homeless Youth to Light
10,000 Ways to End Homelessness
An empty apartment is not a home. When students go to college, their parents usually buy them bedding, cooking utensils, clothes, and food—so they can focus on their studies. When formerly homeless persons move into an apartment, just like those students starting on a new path, their home needs to be fully furnished; in turn, they can focus on looking for work and rebuilding their lives.
"It's a Hard-Knock Life for Us": Homeless Children's Invisibility in U.S. Schools and Beyond
Over a million homeless children in the U.S. (and countless who have not been included in homeless counts) continue to experience "hard-knock" lives. They don't need a billionaire, like Oliver Warbucks to save them. They need us to collectively unmask hidden issues and create tangible solutions that prevent and end their homelessness. It is not "their" problem to fix. It is all of ours.
Too Close To Home: Let's Not Kid Around About Child Poverty
A third of our nation's children reside in homes defined as poor, where the household income is below 60% of the national median income for 2008, or $31,000. In other countries, this annual income is a fortune, but in this country, a family that survives on $31,000 per year places their children on a pathway to adult poverty, if not homelessness.
Is a Country Considered Rich if 20 Percent of its Children are Poor?
We have billionaires and millionaires in our country. Who cares that one-fifth of our children are floundering in poverty? Who needs to know that most cities in America have people living on their streets?
No Child Left On Our Streets
How does our country allow more than one million school children to be homeless? And how many more children are homeless, and do not attend school at all?
Saving a Lost Generation
You, our next generation of American adults, should have the right to a safe home, where you are surrounded by people who love you. But instead, 1.7 million of you are escaping your family homes in search of a place where you are free to live the you are supposed to live. Sure, most of you eventually return home, perhaps because your search leads you to a dead end. But thousands of you leave your family homes permanently. Thousands of you, who are still transitioning into adulthood, are experiencing an animal-like life on the streets. Even at age 15, or younger.
How Unaffordable Is Child Care for Low-Income Parents?
A bunch of things got me wondering about child care costs. How unaffordable are they for low-income parents who don't have the benefit of subsidies? The annual survey reports by the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies are the best source of data on affordability I've found. So I pulled figures from the latest report — most of them for 2009. Then did some calculations of my own — or more precisely, told Excel to do them. Here's a summary of key results, plus some Google gleanings about impacts.
How One Act of Charity Changed My Life
If my own story is any indication, these new acts of charity can change people's lives forever. I have experienced it first hand. I asked the !deation community to hit "fast forward" and picture the future. Could they see where that orphaned child, hungry and barefoot, would be in 30 years?
I can. Because I am that child.
Homeless DC Parents Fear Loss of Children … And They're Right
I met a father at the Virginia Williams Family Resources Center, the District of Columbia's central intake for homeless families. He was there with his wife and their baby and toddler because they were running out of money to pay for the motel room they'd been staying in. He said he was afraid the children would be taken away from them. I asked him if anyone had told him that. Not exactly, but he was worried. I think of him now because the Family Resources Center has started reporting all homeless families with no place to stay to the Child and Family Services Agency, the District's child welfare program.

Complement deficiency
|Complement deficiency
|Classification and external resources
|217000 120820, 120900, 610102
|med/419 ped/447
Complement deficiency is an immunodeficiency of absent or suboptimal functioning of one of the complement system proteins.[1]
The disorders can be divided into two categories:
- Disorders of the proteins that act to inhibit the complement system (such as C1-inhibitor) can lead to an overactive response, causing conditions such as hereditary angioedema and hemolytic-uremic syndrome.[citation needed]
- Disorders of the proteins that act to activate the complement system (such as C3) can lead to an underactive response, causing greater susceptibility to infections.[citation needed]
Because there are redundancies in the immune system, many complement disorders are never diagnosed. A recent study estimated that less than 10% are identified.[2]
Hypocomplementemia may be used more generally to refer to decreased complement levels[3] while secondary complement disorder is to low complement levels that are not directly due to a genetic cause but secondary to another medical condition.[4]
The total hemolytic complement complement CH50 level in the blood will be low or undetectable with complement deficiencies.[citation needed]
Individual complement levels can be used to distinguish conditions:
- Systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with low C3 and C4
- Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis causes low C3, but normal C4.
- Deficiencies of the terminal complement components are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner and cause increased susceptibility to infections by Neisseria.[5]
- Properdin deficiency is an X-linked disorder that also causes susceptibility to neisserial infections.
- C1-inhibitor deficiency or hereditary angioedema will have low C4 with normal C1 and C3 levels.[6]
Vaccinations for encapsulated organisms is crucial for preventing infections in complement deficiencies.[citation needed]
C2 deficiency is prevalent in 120,000 people in Western countries.[7] It occurs in about 1 in 10,000 persons.[8]

About Us
In 1951 John Guida told his sister Rose, (who later opened and owned Mama Roses) that he was going to open a sandwich shop on Harlem road in Cheektowaga. When Rose saw where he was going to buy she asked him if he planned to sell to dead people because the building was across from a cemetery. In 1952 Johnny's opened it doors for the first time with three sandwiches; the Regular, (Cappacolla) for .50 cents, the royal (Cappacolla and Sausage) for .75 cents, and the Sausage for 60 cents. Later around 1954 the A-Bomb was added, which was Sausage and home made hot sauce. John opened the restaurant and called it Johnny's… well that lasted about a minute because Mary told him either her name goes up on the sign or "the hell with him" needless to say her name went up very quickly!

Cornersville-Blythe News, August 8, 2012
A very cheery greeting to all my friends, neighbors, and readers. We're thankful we've been getting enough rain in our neighborhood to help with the plants, as well as for the cooling, however brief, that follows.
Visitors in our home this week were Mike and Phillip Lemons from Potts Camp, and my son, Norm Hardy from Southaven, who came, on his motorcycle as Tina and Mckenzie had other plans. We enjoyed their visits.
Death has touched the lives of a couple of families in the Blythe Community, as this week Sarah Byers and Buddy Scott lost their sister, Carolyn Scott Vick, who lived in Oak Harbor, Wash. Our condolences to the families.
Lynn Cook and Barb Trevilli Bowen have been enjoying a visit from their mother, Barbara Trevell, from Colorado.
Carolyn Scott entertained a large group of friends and relatives for dinner last week in honor of her nephew, Johnathon Mansel, and his wife, Amanda, and their children. He is on leave from the Air Force and is preparing to go to Spain for a five-year stay there. Those attending were his sister, Brittney Mansel; John Scott and his wife, Katherine, and their children, Cara, Rhodes, and Anna; Sarah Bond and her grandchildren from Memphis; Josh and Sally Inmon; Dwight Scott; and sister, Loy Scott.
Carolyn's grandson, Rhodes Scott, from Oxford, recently ran in a 5K race for children and he won. Congratulations to you, Rhodes.
Roger Crane and his son, Brandon, have returned safely from another spelunking trip. They explored a cave, the Talucal, near Huntsville, Ala.
Brandon tells me this was absolutely the muddiest, most slippery cave they've been in thus far. Most of the cave required them to stoop, walk, and crawl in mud near a stream passage.
He tells me he may have possibly discovered a new cave as he explored an area not on the current map.
Two hours after exiting the cave a sudden downpour dropped two inches of rain within 30 minutes.
The Highway U.S. 72 had from two to six inches of rain in some areas. Had Roger and Brandon still been in the cave, this would have resulted in them being stranded or possibly drowned. Brandon states how wonderful are the ways of our Lord.
Leslie Lewis has been a busy young lady this summer – putting up and canning jellies, jams and all kinds of goodies. She has also celebrated the birthdays of family members: her mother in-law on July 20 and her daughter, Jacee, who was nine on Aug 2. Leslie's mom, Barbara, came up for the birthday celebration and spent the weekend with them.
Get well wishes to Betty Smith, who is recovering from surgery.
Our friends and neighbors David and Betty Greer and son, David Jr., enjoyed a Hollingsworth family reunion at the Becker Community center near Amory.
David Jr's wife, Amy, and children, Dave, Mary, and Hannah, were unable to accompany them as they had previously committed to attend a sports camp.
Betty taught school at West Union for many years, but after retirement has been working in the family business, Greer and Greer Equiptment, in New Albany.
One of Betty's brothers is a Methodist pastor who lives in Tupelo and the other one is the president of Piedmont College in Georgia.
I leave you with this thought from Italian Giovianni Gravina: "A Bore is one who deprives you of solitude without providing you with company."

I am a fun-loving, active, and intelligent woman who just moved to Ithaca from Missouri. I figured that I would reactive my account, and, if nothing else, maybe meet some new people in the area.

Peak Charles National Park is a national park in Western Australia (Australia), 507 kilometres (315 mi) east of Perth and 100 km (62 mi) north west of Esperance.[2]
The park is named for one of the main features, Peak Charles, which is an ancient granite peak with an elevation of 651 m (2,136 ft)[3] that dominates the park along with its neighbour Peak Eleanora. Both afford excellent views over the park, which is primarily composed of dry sand plain heaths and salt lake systems.[4]
No entry fee applies to enter the park but there are few facilities available to tourists. A car park, campground and toilets are available.

Obama only pays 20% when the top tax rate is 35%? Something is wrong with that. This just shows that just because you raise the top tax rates does not mean that the rich will actually pay them. While Obama talks a good game Romney plan of eliminating deductions and lower rates is more likely to get the rich to pay more.
So quick back of the envelope calculation. Romney paid approximately 2.7 million dollars more in taxes than Obama did. I can understand why he wants tax cuts.

John D. Chandley, Principal, LECG LLC: Bruce Radford's "An Inconvenient Fact" provides a helpful critique of a fundamental element of open-access transmission reform, one of the most important rulemaking cases affecting electricity regulation at FERC.
Cynthia Bogorad, Spiegel & McDiarmid, Washington: From my perspective representing transmission-dependent utilities, I am very sympathetic to the underlying concerns that appear to be driving the TDAs' proposal. However, the TDAs' proposal is not the answer.
Arthur O'Donnell
The news coming from across the Pacific Ocean over the past year seemed familiar, if at times puzzling. New Zealand's energy minister, caught in a political faux-pas, hastily resigns—only to be reinstated a few weeks later. Concerns about inadequate power supplies and below-average hydroelectric storage are downplayed by government regulators. Then, a harsh winter wind storm triggers a transmission failure that blacks out the major city of Auckland. What to make of all this turmoil in New Zealand's energy industry?
Richard Stavros, Executive Editor
It was the most anticipated energy deal in the New Year, but not for the usual reasons. The spin-off of Duke Energy's natural-gas business into a stand-alone company, Spectra Energy Inc., peaked interest because the transaction was to have marked the vindication of the so-called "pure play" electric strategy. The deal also has captured attention because the spin-off represented a divestiture strategy that until now hasn't been universally embraced, with gas assets still seen by some utilities as part of core operations.
(February 2007) The Electric Power Research Institute appointed Bryan Hannegan vice president for environment research and development. PNGC Power named John Prescott senior vice president of power supply. Nora Mead Brownell joined the Comverge Inc. board of directors. The Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator Inc. announced the election of two new members to its board of directors: Michael J. Curran and Eugene W. Zeltmann. And others...
Michael T. Burr
Among climate scientists, Ken Caldeira is a self-described troublemaker. For instance, Caldeira annoyed tree-huggers and corporations alike by demonstrating that planting trees in most locations around the world actually exacerbates global warming. Fortnightly caught up with Caldeira recently to discuss his perspectives on geoengineering and its possible role in strategies to address climate change.
Richard Lauckhart and Gary L. Hunt
Regional transmission organizations (RTOs) or independent system operators (ISOs) dominate the major power grids of North America, with the notable exceptions of the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The purpose of this article is not to criticize system reliability but to highlight the more pervasive challenge today and for the future: Controlling the cost impact of decisions by grid operators on energy market participants.
John Woodley
Despite assertions to the contrary, the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme is working. Industry has changed both short-term behavior and longer-term plans to reduce compliance costs—the driving down of greenhouse-gas emissions being the intended and achieved result. In this article, we review examples of the ETS affecting both planned and actual behavior. The other side of the coin is how regulatory and political uncertainty undermines this.
Dr. David L. Bodde
The consequences of a flawed strategic choice unfold slowly, but they carry great weight. Consider IBM, which in 1980 chose to outsource to Intel the 16-bit processor needed for its entry into the personal computer market. The Intel chip, however, could not use the operating system that IBM had designed for its older 8-bit processors. And so the company had to outsource the operating system as well as the chip—to a startup company called Microsoft.
Bruce W. Radford
After pleading with Congress for so many years, and then at last winning the requisite legislative authority to impose mandatory and enforceable standards for electric reliability, to replace its legacy system of voluntary compliance, NERC finds itself at a curious juncture. It wants to slow the transition.

You can do something the Hubble telescope can't: Observe Mercury. And February is the best time this year to do it.
The first planet will make its best appearance of 2013 about 30 minutes after sunset between Feb. 12 and 20 as it positions itself at least 10 degrees-extend your arm and make a fist-above the horizon in the west-southwest. It may be tough to view since we don't live on a prairie and trees obstruct most of the horizons in our backyards.
Mercury and Venus are the only two planets between Earth and the sun. Because of this vantage point, Mercury appears to have phases like the moon-first quarter, last quarter and half-illuminated.
Since its orbit hugs the sun so tightly, Mercury is only visible from Earth during morning or evening twilight, always rising and setting with the sun. Hubble as a rule won't observe it because of its proximity to the sun. Training its powerful telescope on Mercury (or Venus, for that matter) would likely damage Hubble's instruments.
Mercury will be in retrograde from Feb. 8 into April, meaning it will appear to move backward in the sky, but this is an optical illusion caused by the difference in orbital speeds of the two planets. Mercury periodically reaches a stage in its orbit around the sun where, from our perspective on Earth, it appears to slow down to the point where it stands still, and then appears to move backward.
Mercury will be less than 1 degree from Mars on Feb. 8. The sky won't be dark enough to spot the pair until they're just setting in the west.
Since the new moon is on Feb. 10, just after sunset on Feb. 11, a very thin crescent moon will be setting right behind the sun and floating above Mercury and Mars. After the weekend of Feb. 16 and 17, Mercury begins to slide back toward the horizon and gets lost in the sun's glare, ending our Earthly observing opportunities for now.
Feb. 7 - Mercury and Mars form a pleasing but tight planetary conjunction. Mars will be two-thirds of a degree to the upper left of much brighter Mercury. Binoculars or a telescope are recommended because they will be very low in the west-southwest at evening twilight.
Feb. 10 - New moon.
Feb. 25 - Full moon. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Snow Moon because the heaviest snows usually fell during this time of the year. Since hunting is difficult in late February, this moon has also been called the Full Hunger Moon.

I've been having a problem with Jetpack slowing down load times on my site since the last upgrade, so I disabled it. I saw the help for that here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/jetpack-slows-down-the-site-big-server-load?replies=3
I was going to try the advice there, but when I tried to activate JP and connect it to WordPress.com, I get this error:
Jetpack could not contact WordPress.com: register_http_request_failed. This usually means something is incorrectly configured on your web host. Operation timed out after 15001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
I am using WP with BuddyPress. I didn't have these problems before the most recent upgrades.

Should be next week if history is a guide. Any meaningful increase should give the price a boost. An increase would also signal a strong 2Q earnings and cash flow report. While the proceeds of the sale of APU stock will not meaningfully impact earnings or cash available for distribution, it will increase liquidity substantially which makes a distribution increase easier.
Looks like the money is being siphoned off by ETE...
No increase in FIVE years.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I've listened to the people on this board complaign about the ETP distribution, currently 7%, go down to the local bank and see what they are paying on your funds. On 10/04/2012, the day they bought Sunoco, ETP units were $ 41.60 today $ 51.34 this is a 23.6% increase and you people are bitc--- about no distribution increase. As a former Sunoco shareholder who has watches the Sunoco investment increase by over $175,000, and dividends increase by over $ 30,000 per year, I do not share your opinion of the company. They now own 33% of SXL market value over $ 2 bil., Hess has their service stations for sale and hopes go get in excess of $2.0 bil for them, the Sunoco stations are worth much more than the Hess locations. The drain on Sunoco earnings were the east coast refineries need to process expensive Brent crude and not the service stations, which produce cash flow every day.Today, Sunoco buys spot product and resells it. With no exposure to refinery costs and the outside chance to share in Philadelphia refinery profits, That is a much better deal for Sunoco. So, I'll continue to collect 7% distribution, plan for continued unit appreication and let management get on with the job of improving the company.
Sentiment: Hold
This company has nothing. Scam artists and market manipulators. They won't raise because they can't raise.
"While the proceeds of the sale of APU stock will not meaningfully impact earnings or cash available for distribution, it will increase liquidity substantially which makes a distribution increase easier."
Not sure I follow you on that
just in zimmee may move to texas and run for office.
Under "fair value" accounting for non-cash transactions, ETP booked the gain on the sale of propane on the 2012 contribution of propane to an APU partnership in exchange for cash and APU units. They booked the units at fair value at the time of contribution, somewhere around 44.50 per unit. Since then, under the equity method of accounting, ETP increased the book value of its APU units by its share of APU's earnings and decreased it by distributions received from APU. So, for gaap, there will not be a huge gain on sale, which was in July....so it hits 3Q. Plus, I think dispositions of assets not in the ordinary course of business are excluded from cash available from distribution unless the board declares the sale a partial liquidation, which they will not do, imo, since the sale of propane was part of the plan to acquire the Florida pipeline.
So, they are essentially exchanging the value of propane into more pipeline assets, not partially liquidating.
Nevertheless, there is either more cash or less debt, making ETP more liquid for its size, hence making a distribution increase easier, over 300 million worth.

A Gift in Disguise
I lost my voice. And my Type-A personality is not too happy about this.
I don't really have time to be sick, nonetheless to lose my voice. I have clients to meet with, yoga to teach, blog posts and newsletters to write; I have a half-marathon to train for; I have this cleanse I am facilitating and need to be well for, and I am a mom! Do you ever feel this way?
Talk about a wake up call.
I've been burning the candle at both ends, putting so much pressure on myself to try to catch up with my mile-long "to-do" list, stay on top of emails, work on curriculum, grow my business... but what about self-care? My body is clearly telling me (or maybe it was even yelling at me which is why I lost my voice?):
I'm starting to realize that I really do need to schedule in self-care. Literally look at my week and block out specific times for exercise, yoga, even bed-time as opposed to pushing these aside every time something else arises. Just as I encourage my family, friends and clients to prioritize their health, I need to do the same. And although I initially felt grumpy and frustrated with my body over the weekend, those feelings dissipated as I paused, breathed and recognized the beautiful gift in disguise. No 10-mile run on Saturday with friends, no yoga teaching on Sunday, had to postpone a session with a client... but I went to bed early three nights in a row, watched Jack skate his little heart out with joy and tenacity at his ice-skating practice, went for an adventurous walk with both kids in the crisp air and sunshine, read books with Sadie, drank mug after mug of hot water with lemon and grated ginger.
I surrendered into the present moment and allowed the weight on my shoulders to lift a little as I took some time to nourish myself. Yes, not fun that it took me getting sick to force me to take a break. However, as opposed to judging myself and beating myself up, I am choosing to look at this experience as a gentle yet extremely valuable reminder for me. The to-do list will always be there. The most important piece is that I take care of myself, nourish my spirit, fuel my body so that I can show up for my life with strength, authenticity, passion and energy.
Thank you, voice, for disappearing for a little while and helping me to reconnect with my inner stillness.
If you are also a Type A personality, could it be time for you to slow down and get onto your yoga mat? Perhaps take a moment to look at your life-balance right now. What self-care practices can you schedule in for yourself this week to boost your health?

Timing is everything when you have a travel complaint.
Consider what happened to one of my clients, who had meticulously booked a 16-day trip to Scotland and Ireland months in advance. Our agency worked with Celebrated Experiences to get them an itinerary featuring daily touring with deluxe hotels.
But all the planning couldn't prepare them for what happened in Ireland.

I booked on line. I ask for a first floor room. I called 2 days a head to confirm. They told me they room the day of arrival. But, they did say my comment was on my reservation. I checked in on 2-15-13 around 730 pm. The front desk agent was very friendly and had a great smile! You could tell he loved his job! After checking in we went to our room. It was amazing. Of course i was on the 1st floor as requested.The room was updated, clean and fresh! The kitchen was a nice touch with everything you need. The bed and the pillows were so comfortable. I didnt use any of the amenties because i fell ill. But, i am sure it was just as awesome as the front desk agent and the room itself! I will definitly come back again. Kodos to all the staff at the residence inn! Keep up the good work!

Impressive!!!I'm an ardent runner and have only my ipod as a companion for long hours. So I was always frustrated at the poor quality headphones I had to live with (experimented with quite a few). Till I hit upon this one.
Sep 19, 2012
not at all satisfied with the productnot at all worth it people..it gives you a 6 months warranty..but just a day after those 6 months..the right ear headphone wont work..i must say i used it very cautiously...you can go for any cheaper headphones than this...when you buy such costly stuff you expect quality which is certainly not provided...overall a big no...
Nov 16, 2011
Worth it!This product delivers everything it can, at just 500 bucks. Yes, the ear clip is a lil large but for me; I run around 30-40 kms in a week at an avg of 10 kmph and not once have they come off of my ears.

Amazing buyA very good deal of headphone.thanks Panasonic for your such a pleasant production.bass is perfect, treble is good.best stand for good price. About flipkart one day you will be one of the best example in the marketing book,prompt delivery got it within specified time.really love it to get work done on time.Thank you flpkart and please continue to be same.as all hope so far.
Nov 2, 2011
Simply Awesome!!I received the headphones yesterday, and frankly I thought it looked way too simple for all the hype surrounding it. But little did I know what a delightful surprise I was in for. I went for a 3 km run and not once did I have to readjust the ear phones. Sound quality is simply awesome!! At just 50% volume the quitest song that I have on my device was crystal clear. I can safely say close your eyes and buy it off. Worth every penny. My only worry is endurance. A lot of headphones tend to wear off pretty quickly.Hope this one will hold. Touchwood!!

Awesome :)Previously I was using the Creative Headphones for listening to music on my mobile and was disappointed when it failed. But I have no more regrets of it failing, cause this headphones simply out-qualitied the former. The clips are comfortable and are light that you barely notice it on your ears. Even the design of the speaker lobes are good and do not cause any irritation to your ears. The only thing which I felt lacking on this product was the BASS. Its a bit low on the bass, but hell yeah the treble is clear ! So anyone willing to buy it, Please go ahead, a buy you will not regret !

Execellent Headphone Value for MoneyBest Wired Head-phone as of yet for this price range. I have been using this for the last two months and I have been thouroughly satisfied. I would suggest anyone reading this just to go for this one. The sound quality is awasome. Just a little heads-up that some might have a little trouble putting it on because of its unique design but once you get used to it, its all good music for you.Also great service from Flipkart as always, just delivering the product in excellent condition in just less than 48hrs from the time I placed my order.

Carlsberg's Rasmussen Says Confident of Russia Growth
Carlsberg AS, the maker of Baltika beer, is confident of growing market share in Russia as it bets on a recovery in 2011 whilst preparing to raise beer prices in the face of rising costs and a tax increase.
"I'm still confident we can continue on this track to grow share," Chief Executive Officer Joergen Buhl Rasmussen said today in an interview with Bloomberg News in London. "A place like Russia is out of the crisis faster than most of the western European markets. We're extremely optimistic about what we are likely to see in eastern Europe, which is a big area for us. If anything, it's going to get slightly better again in 2011."
Carlsberg, the biggest brewer in Russia, raised prices in the country this month, and will do so again in 2011 to compensate for soaring malt and barley expenses and a tax increase of about 10 percent on beer in 2011, Rasmussen said. He declined to comment on a specific target for price increases.
"It'll vary a lot by segment and brand," the CEO said. The brewer expects the Russian beer market to "move to the plus side for next year." Rasmussen said he'd comment further on Carlsberg's outlook in February, when the Copenhagen-based company is due to release full-year results.
Carlsberg, which gets 52 percent of operating profit from eastern Europe, is looking to Russia for growth to offset sluggish demand in western Europe. Russia's beer market will grow 2.1 percent by volume in 2011, according to Mintel estimates. The country is the fourth-biggest beer consumer in the world, behind China, the U.S. and Brazil, Mintel data shows.
Lower Market Share
"Looking at the next five years, we think Russia probably has the best growth in its profit pool of all the beer markets," said Ian Shackleton, an analyst at Nomura in London.
Carlsberg rose as much as 1.6 percent in Copenhagen trading and was up 1.5 percent at 563.5 kroner at 3:30 p.m.
Russia is proving attractive to consumer-goods makers as government austerity measures and unemployment hinder growth in developed markets including western Europe and the U.S. PepsiCo Inc. agreed this month to buy a controlling stake in Wimm-Bill-Dann Dairy & Juice Co. for $3.8 billion. The economy is set to grow 4.2 percent in 2010, according to Bloomberg data.
Carlsberg, which said in November that its share of the Russian beer market slid 0.8 percentage point to about 39 percent in the first nine months of 2010, is the biggest brewer in the country, ahead of Anheuser-Busch InBev NV, Heineken NV, Anadolu Efes Biracilik & Malt Sanayi AS and SABMiller Plc.
Price Increases
Beer sales slumped in Russia this year after the government raised taxes 200 percent on the beverage in January. Carlsberg, which had previously estimated the market would show a "low double-digit" percentage decline, now sees a "mid-single-digit" fall this year. Taxes on beer will rise again in January, from nine rubles (29 cents) to 10 rubles. This, plus soaring costs of wheat and barley, will lead to price increases.
Raising prices "should be easier this time" as the increase in taxes is less than in 2010, Shackleton said.
Prices increases by SABMiller and Anadolu Efes in November were probably "catching up" with Carlsberg, Rasmussen said. The Danish brewer said in November that its market share slid due to higher price increases than competitors.
Any price increases next year "will not change the consumer dynamic," the CEO said. "I have no doubt" that Russian consumers will continue to buy beer, he said.
'Lot of Growth'
Beer consumption has fallen from a high of about 79 or 80 liters per capita to 65, Rasmussen said.
"I can't see it staying at 65," he said. "There's a lot of growth to come from volume, and on top of that, value growth. You can hopefully improve the mix and add more premium products. Long term, this market has so much potential."
Rasmussen also said Carlsberg may consider buying a further stake in Chongqing Brewery Co. after China's government approved an increase in its shareholding, paving the way for further expansion in the world's most population nation.
"What I would like to do, if at all possible, is to expand the collaboration with the Chongqing government," he said. The brewer might consider buying additional shares in the Chinese company among other options.

All Rise...
Judge Daryl Loomis thinks cats shouldn't be allowed to demonstrate.
The Charge
Open the doors, off with the shoulder-straps, join us in a taste of freedom.
The Case
On February 21, 2012, a punk/art collective of women known as Pussy Riot entered the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow and danced at the altar while singing a song critical of Russian leader, Vladimir Putin. Two weeks later, authorities arrested three of these women on charges of hooliganism: Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich. Quickly convicted, they were each sentenced to three years in prison.
Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer serves as a breakdown of the problems surrounding this issue specifically, but also as a primer for the general issues of Russian oppression and their circus of a judicial system. This isn't my first go around with documentaries about the weird Russian system, with 2011's Khodorkovsky dealing with its namesake oil tycoon arrested and humiliated by Putin for his business practices, ostensibly, but really it was because he used his billions to fund the opposition to Putin. Mikhail Khodorkovsky was an actual criminal, evading taxation on his billions and conducting shady business, at best. What did these three women do? Nothing more than jump up and down in a church.
Now, was it in poor taste to the religious folk in the church? Of course it was, but their crime was tantamount to trespassing and, yet, they received identical treatment in the court, with all the press and the berating and the cages. After their sentence, reports of their treatment were terrible, while world organizations and individual spoke out against it all. It didn't matter, of course, as for two of the three, their sentences were upheld on appeal and they were separated, placed in different, harsher prisons and were left to rot. Hunger strikes, one lost prisoner, and a bunch of protests occurred with no change. That is, until an event occurred in Sochi, Russia called the Olympics that you might have heard of. In the weeks before the world was watching, a number of political prisoners were released, Pussy Riot included.
Of course it is, because it's all political theater designed for propaganda and oppression. Now, their release is not represented in the film, as that happened almost a year after the movie was released, but that's the business. In the film's funniest moment, we find Vladimir Putin sitting with a British interviewer describing the reason for their ridiculous imprisonment. His response, in fewer words, is essentially that they had to imprison Pussy Riot so they could protect the rights of the religious. Restrict speech to foster speech. Oh, yes, the double-speak is delicious.
Directors Mike Lerner (Afghan Star)
and Maxim Pozdorovkin (Captial) have made a competent, informative
documentary that is, unfortunately, fairly insubstantial. It's more of a
collection of footage than it is an insightful commentary on the issue, but
that's fine. It gets the point across perfectly well and, having everything
together is
Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer comes to DVD from Cinedigm on a very standard disc. The 1.78:1 anamorphic image is decent enough for what it is; it looks decent for cheap video work and serves its purpose. The stereo sound is pretty much the same, with perfectly discernable dialog and clear music. The only extra is a forum interview with Samutsevich, whose successful appeal allowed her to hit the world media circuit, and it's a nice addendum to the film.
Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer tells a very interesting story, but there's little here that's more insightful than what has already been extensively reported in the media. If you're unfamiliar with the issues at hand and need a quick primer, this will suffice, but it likely won't tell you enough about either Pussy Riot or the situation of Russian justice. Even though the film is decent, it's completely inessential.
The Verdict
Not guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer a fair trial? yes / no

hi there!
i found a bug which will generate a wrong download-link after i moved with my wordpress-site from my development server to my staging server.
i was looking around a bit and found the folling line of code in "eg-attachments-public.inc.php" line 101 and 115. in both lines the plugin is using the "guid" column of the post table - which is a not correct handling of getting attachment links. according to wordpress u should not use this column to generate links as it is just a global id for newsreaders. see "http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL" and search for "guid" in the text.
In my opinion u shoud use instead the wordpress-function
"get_attachment_link" to get the correct url for the file. Then people who move their sites won't have ny problems with that anymore...
Hope that u will change that soon and thx for the plugin.

Rock slide closes road to Boone
Published: Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at 9:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at 9:09 a.m.
Part of a route to North Carolina's ski country is closed because of rock slide fears.
Multiple media outlets reported Tuesday that U.S. 321 is closed between Lenoir and Blowing Rock because engineers are concerned about large boulders that are loose on the side of the road.
Department of Transportation officials say road could be closed for several days while officials drill in the area.
U.S. 321 is a main route between the Charlotte area and Appalachian State University, Blowing Rock and ski resorts in the northwest mountains.
A main North Carolina thoroughfare has been closed since October because of a rock slide. Work clearing the massive rock slide that closed Interstate 40 near the Tennessee-North Carolina border is expected to last through the winter.

After Matt Damon's character in The Departed graduates the state police academy, he is picked up by Costello ("no more pencils, no more books"), and given a box as a graduation present. Though what is contained in the box is never identified, what are some probable theories as to the box's contents?
The box is a pure Macguffin.
I've heard some theorize it contained the mobile phone he would go on to use, but I doubt this.
Another theory is that it contains money, or at least something valuable to help him get started up - hence why Costello tells him he's earned it.
Having said that, my own theory is that it is just something personal to Sullivan. It doesn't really matter what it is, just that it is something personal which evokes emotion from Sullivan and effectively further establishes the father-son dynamic between Sullivan and Costello for the viewer.
You might be interested to read the script for more information. It goes out of its way to point out that the box could contain anything:
It doesn't matter what was in the box. What matters is that Sullivan became a cop moments earlier, and is already accepting gifts from a known criminal. He's fresh out of the academy and has already sold his soul to the devil.
whats in the box is the knife, same knife that he kills the asian in the back street with
I think it's his detective badge because next scene is him walking to the police plaza as a detective.

We examine the association between various components of consumption expenditure and happiness in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally representative sample of older Americans. We find that only one component of consumption is positively related to happiness—leisure consumption. In contrast, consumption of durables, charity, personal care, food, health care, vehicles, and housing are not significantly associated with happiness. Second, we find that leisure consumption is associated with higher levels of happiness partially through its effect on social connectedness, as indexed by measures of loneliness and embeddedness in social networks. On one hand, these results counter the conventional wisdom that "material goods can't buy happiness." One the other hand, they underscore the importance of social goods and social connectedness in the production of happiness.

What's wrong with Satan?
he owes me five bucks.
You should read Mark Fuhrman's book on the murders. It's funny how many times he has to point out that he can't be racist:
"I've got black friends!"
"My partner's wife was black!"
"I worked hard to prove that that one black kid was innocent!"
"I played basketball three days a week with black officers and HAD TO GET UP EARLY to do it!"
Sorry, he only killed two people. The Red Bushies slaughtered many many many more.
But I remember when I was down in Santa Barbara hanging out at a surf coffee shop near the pier, and we were hoping OJ would want to go surfing during the massive storms, so we could advise him to surf near the piers and not notice when he went under ...
This is why it's a bad idea to support SPD when it falsifies police reports. YOU just might be Ronald Goldman's dad one day.
Ha! The Juice is loose!
But what about his SON - Jason L Simpson? This has some information that might make you go hmmmmm
Forget it. I didn't read the excerpt and I have no intention of reading a single word of what that murdering prick has to say. My dad made me sit through every second of that trial with him, christ it was boring at times...thanks, Dad. However, had I been on that jury I would have hung the motherfucker.

I find that concept quite distasteful on a personal level... nerf balls should have no place in LARP unless you're a Malkavian.
Dec 12, 2008 3:24pm
LARP is an all encompassing word. Live Action Role Play means any type of stand up role playing game, as opposed to table top games like Dungeons and Dragons. In my circle, we call LARP, the Vampire: The Masquerade game we go to, where we role play as members of a kindred society. It's not too bad... I like it. And it's not an excuse to dress as goth and suck on each other. That's... not even what happens.... We just role play like people who became vampires. There's only one goth there just to be a vampire for a night. Every group has those types.
We also play a RP game where we fight with foam swords, called Amtgard, a less dangerous game that the SCAers play. And they are also asses to anyone who plays it.
SCA LARPers are assholes. =D
Dec 12, 2008 3:26pm
I want to LARP with you all night long ACN.
What's a LARP? NEVERMIND!! It doesn't matter!! We'll do it anyway!!
Dec 12, 2008 3:28pm
Selchie I'll pretend I work in a fish cannery!
Dec 12, 2008 3:41pm
Also, in regards to the "is SCA role playing"? I think it really isn't because they aren't doing it as a game, where their character advances, gains levels etc, like any other type of role play game does, like Amtgard, D&D, and Vampire. I'd say it's more sport just because of that reason.
Why do they stop using their arm or leg when it gets struck? It's part of the rules. Just like when you get a penalty in basketball and you have to shoot a freethrow. It's just part of the rules. Get hit in that arm, you can't use it.

Larping involves PENISES???? OMG!!! Why have I never heard of this before????
Dec 12, 2008 3:43pm
Selchie, because penises do not equal golf balls.
Dec 12, 2008 3:44pm
That's right! Penises are far superior to golf balls!!
Dec 12, 2008 3:44pm
I'm answering too seriously. I'm over compensating because I'm stoned... -_-
Dec 12, 2008 3:44pm
Selchie, I am not into either.
Dec 12, 2008 3:46pm
I'll have your portion then. :)
Dec 12, 2008 3:47pm
Vampire? Mage all the way dude!!!!
Dec 12, 2008 3:48pm
I will gladly allow you to take over my share.

They both seem to be geek subculture cut from the same cloth to me. Agree with those who say SCA just seems like another version of LARP-ing.

I'm going to live action role play banging Selchie

You're going to need a strong weapon.
Dec 12, 2008 4:19pm
I've done both...they pretty much are the same.

SCA guy here. chainedpunkgirl: I'm sorry to hear that you think we are all assholes. A lot of us are nice folks I promise. Although I will admit there is probably a condescending attitude towards LARPrs in the SCA, especially with the heavy fighters. I think maybe that this occurs when people don't realize that while similar, LARPing and SCA are two entirely different creatures. I would say they are the same in as much as golf and football are the same. As far as acting out blows goes (if you get hit in the leg you lose the leg etc...), I'll admit it is a bit cheesy. And it is often said that the idea isn't that you just had your leg cut off, but that it has been injured enough to make it incapacitated. But overall it is part of the rules of the game we play. I guess in full disclosure I must admit I have never officially LARPed, but I've been around it and talked to LARPers. I've always though it could be fun, but never really found the right people. But yeah... maybe I'm being too serious (perhaps an SCA trait?).. back to your regularly scheduled sexual innuendos.

My limited experience with the SCA is it is a very limited form of role playing. Back when I looked into seriously joining it they were taking on a different name and picking a role for themselves. Usually a noble person, knight, etc. It had to be historically 'accurate' (and no, I've never heard of anyone choosing 'Peon' or 'enslaved' as their role) and was basically themselves in an (upper class) Dark Ages/Reinassance role. So to me it's role playing but gone about a different way. Some people like Oranges, some people like Grapefruit. Some people love both, some people love only one, some people find both distasteful. To me saying they are not both role playing is like saying oranges and Grapefruit are not both citrus fruits. But there is nothing wrong with preferring one or the other. And there is nothing wrong with preferring tangelos. I wonder if it's along the lines of not wanting the more serious (and many people do approach the SCA in a more studious, 'this has to be right' way... but if you go to one of the SCA's big gathers, see all the people dressed like it's not 2009, calling each other "M'lord" and bowing before the ones crowned as royalty for the event you cannot tell me that is not a kind of role playing!

SCA and Renaissance Faire people are interested in living history/ historical reenactment, whereas LARPers are playing a game. I was in the SCA for 16 years and still occasionally attend events; I also portray a noble (real historical person) at various Renaissance faires/festivals. So far, I have never participated in a LARP game. There is of course some overlap, but not always.
