I love these. The common thing I have noticed is the constant gear shifting and looking down.

Why does this guy have a power meter?
- July 21, 2010 at 6:14 AM
it's important to sync the power data up with the video so he can identify the exact wattage level at which droppage occurs.

You guys are awesome...I laughed so hard I was crying after the "Why does this guy have a power meter" comment!
Yeah, decided to helmet cam up and get feedback from my team on how to improve, then posted this pearl. Things went from bad to worse for 40 minutes (the full race video is on the vimeo site if you click through). Definitely got better after this painful experience.
Keep 'em coming! Bikelink - July 21, 2010 at 5:09 PM
Someone needs to teach this guy the art of "tailgunning". I'd love to see a video of a strong rider sitting on the back catching each, and every dropped rider as they get detached. Even better have him mount a cam on the back of the bike to get their facial expressions!

You loose momentum through each turn. Are you braking through the turns or what?
Tail gunning is an art form. - August 3, 2010 at 2:05 PM

NFL front offices are in overdrive right now, working through one of the most talented draft classes in recent years. It also features a record 103 underclassmen declaring early.Start Slideshow
Three quarterbacks land in the Top 10 of the latest 2014 NFL Mock Draft—none named Johnny Manziel—while receivers and tight ends make up most of the middle of round one.
PHOTOS: All 103 early entries
SENIOR BOWL: Players to watch -
With Bill O'Brien as their head coach, the Texans are in prime position to take advantage of a talented roster with a quarterback expert like O'Brien at the helm. However, that doesn't mean they need to draft a quarterback first overall. Trust in O'Brien to make the most at the position while adding an elite talent like Clowney to an already impressive defensive unit.Next
The Rams have already made it clear they are looking to move down, and it could lead to a Teddy Bridgewater sweepstakes for the Rams to secure a large haul. Whether they stay put or not, they'll certainly look at offensive linemen for at least one of their first round picks. Robinson is still the best in the class.Next
The crown jewel of the class for the Jaguars, don't be surprised to see them trade up to secure the top quarterback in this class. If they are unable to get him for whatever reason, don't expect them to reach for a quarterback, as they'll opt for Khalil Mack or Anthony Barr instead.Next
The rumors are that they're intrigued by Johnny Manziel and are the favorites to land him right now. But based on other teams' interest and his skill set, Manziel doesn't belong in the Top 10 picks. The Browns should look to add more playmakers on offense, with the hopes that Watkins helps whomever their franchise quarterback is down the road.Next
Quarterback is still an undetermined need for the Raiders, but if they pass at the position, adding more talent to this defense is a must-do. Mack isn't a finished product quite yet, but his remarkable talent and upside is tough to deny and is worth developing for a young roster like Oakland's.Next
The Falcons are looking at defensive ends or offensive linemen early and often in the 2014 NFL Draft, and they'll likely take the best prospect at those two positions. With Jadeveon Clowney and Greg Robinson off the board, the next best lineman is Texas A&M's Matthews, who may be better than his 2013 teammate Luke Joeckel.Next
Last year's third-round pick Mike Glennon had his moments this year, and he proved why Greg Schiano believed he could be an NFL starter. However, with a new regime in place, Glennon isn't a lock to be the starter. New Bucs' offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford is very close with the Carr family, including working with Carr much of last season.Next
The Vikings need to find their next "franchise quarterback" after Christian Ponder turned out to be a bust, and landing a high ceiling, yet work-in-progress Blake Bortles could be a perfect fit for new offensive coordinator Norv Turner's system. It'd be best for Bortles to sit behind Matt Cassel for at least the first half of his rookie season, if not longer.Next
With Khalil Mack off the board, the Bills look to target another pass rusher/linebacker hybrid prospect in the high upside UCLA product Anthony Barr. He still has a ways to go before he's NFL ready, but his talent level and potential impact could be similar to Aldon Smith's once he gets more comfortable at linebacker, a position he only started playing three years ago.Next
After Calvin Johnson, the Lions don't have a receiver that's talented enough to be a legitimate NFL starter. In fact, most of their receivers would struggle to make many NFL rosters. While it's reminiscent of the Matt Millen years, Marqise Lee is a consistent, talented, middle of the field receiver who could make the Stafford-to-Megatron connection even more dominant.Next
Despite their lack of a great record, the Titans have done a great job in drafting recently, frequently hitting on their first rounders and finding playmakers on defense later in the draft. Assuming they won't target a quarterback or running back this high in the draft, adding another high-upside pass rusher fits the Titans MO.Next
The Giants have long needed help at linebacker, and with Mosley available, he can fill an immediate need and eventually provide leadership for this struggling defense. Mosley can fill in at both inside and strong side linebacker early in his Giants career.Next
Safety is arguably the Rams top need, and Clinton-Dix is arguably the top safety in this class. That being said, don't be surprised to see the Rams trade down from this pick to take advantage of the talented offensive tackles, tight ends, and cornerbacks still available here. If they stick here or move down a few spots, Clinton-Dix is likely a prime target.Next
The Bears' run defense needs the most help, but with the physical cornerback Dennard being among the Top 10 prospects in this draft, as well as an ideal fit the Bears' defense, he's tough to pass on at this stage. This is probably the lowest spot Dennard falls to before teams start clawing their way to trade up for him.Next
The Steelers have swung and missed on offensive linemen frequently in the past few years, and it's been reflective of their offense. They need to keep Big Ben upright for the future, and Lewan fits the nasty-lineman mold that the Steelers have been known for.Next
After losing Anquan Boldin, it was clear this offense took a step back, and it's no secret they miss having a consistently reliable, first-down receiver. Mike Evans of Texas A&M is the most physical, biggest bodied receiver in the class, but the Ravens should look for the better talent at the position. Reminding of Keenan Allen, Robinson is worthy of a Top 20 pick.Next
The Cowboys' secondary was woefully unsuccessful this year, and much of that has to do with their safety play and their interior pass rushing. Safety is certainly an option, but finding an upfield 3-technique rusher like Anthony Johnson could force quarterbacks off balance, leading to turnovers for the Dallas defensive backs.Next
Leaving LSU early along with teammate Jarvis Landry, Beckham possesses the better skill set of the two, and has the higher upside to be an NFL No. 1 WR. Beckham may not be on the national scene yet, but he's an elite talent with the vertical ability to take over for Santonio Holmes as the feature receiver for Geno Smith moving forward.Next
Cyrus Kouandjio could easily go higher than this thanks to his mauling upfield run blocking and a rare physicality in pass protection, but the Dolphins should be able to get one of the falling left tackle prospects in this class to address their most dire position. While we view him as a second-round prospect, it'd be a surprise if he didn't go Top 20.Next
The Bruce Arians offense has really turned this Cardinals' franchise around, but they're not a finished product as a team to consistently compete in the brutal NFC West. With Fitzgerald on one side and the emergence of Michael Floyd on the other, the outside weapons for Carson Palmer are there. Adding a Top 10 talent in Eric Ebron, like Arians wanted in Indianapolis when he advocated for Coby Fleener and Dwayne Allen, could allow them to attack the middle of the field and dominate defenses similarly to how the Bears' big three weapons did this past season.Next
Jermichael Finely suffered a brutal injury last year, and there are doubts as to what the Packers should expect from him in the future. Either way, Aaron Rodgers and this offense have been fantastic at utilizing all of their weapons, and adding a versatile receiving threat like Jace Amaro could further frustrate their NFC North foes.Next
The Eagles have invested in the cornerback position in recent years, but it hasn't produced results yet. Cary Williams is highly inconsistent, Bradley Fletcher has battled through injuries, and Brandon Boykin has been very impressive but is limited to nickel coverage on most occasions. Add in the speedy, athletic Roby, who could wind up as the best defensive back in this class, and the Eagles have a four way competition for their two starting spots.Next
The Chiefs could go a handful of ways to add to their surprisingly effective 2013 roster, but looking at why their season ended may be the best way to approach the draft. After Andrew Luck torched the Kansas City safeties, all eyes turned to the draft to find a player long-term next to Eric Berry. Pryor is very talented and already high on NFL boards as a safety prospect, and likely winds up in the first round.Next
The Bengals have done a fantastic job in drafting the past few years, so finding a glaring need for them is difficult. But Shazier gives this team an active linebacker to complement Vontaze Burfict for the future on defense.Next
They've invested heavily in the past on the pass rush, but the Chargers still need more talent in that department. Van Noy can play both inside and outside in the 3-4 set, and he can provide both depth and an instant impact for this defense.Next
If the Browns pass on Johnny Manziel at No. 4 overall (which would be the best decision), they still could land him with their second first rounder. I'm not sure many teams feel he's a fit for their offense as a first rounder, and if the Browns are so adamant about getting Manziel, adding a weapon like Sammy Watkins first should do wonders to help the offense whenever it's ready for Johnny Football.Next
Rob Ryan has done wonders with the Saints' defense, but it's no secret they need more pass rush help, talent-wise, for the future. Jeremiah Attaochu was remarkably impressive as a sophomore and produced at a high level in ore a true 3-4 defense, which scouts will certainly notice when they review him. He'll fit in well as an edge rusher in a 3-4 set.Next
Steve Smith shouldn't be relied on for the future if the Panthers hope to further Cam Newton's development. Adding a new vertical stretching playmaker in Brandin Cooks is exactly what the doctor ordered for the thriving Panthers offense.Next
The front seven for the 49ers is battle tested and loaded with talent, but the secondary could still use an upgrade, especially depth-wise. Gilbert can step in day one and play outside at the cornerback spot in nickel sets, with the upside of being a starter early in his career.Next
Vince Wilfork went down with an injury earlier this year for the Patriots, and they can't afford to bank on an injured Wilfork for the next four or five years, especially thanks to his impact on the defense. Nix reminds a lot of Wilfork, and he'll get a chance to learn from him for at least a year.Next
Seattle, like Cincinnati, has done a great job drafting the past few years, especially in the later rounds defensively. While they could add defensive line depth or add to a quickly depleting secondary, I think they consider adding a tackle to pair with Russell Okung for the future, especially since a top offensive tackle may fall to them.Next
Aaron Donald earned all of the awards he received this year, but the undersized interior pass rusher may struggle to find a match in the top 20 of the draft. While he may be worth that high of a pick, it's more likely as of now that he falls to the late first round. The Broncos scoop up a great value.

Atlanta (CNN) -- Natina Reed, one-third of the early 2000s R&B trio Blaque, was struck by a vehicle and killed Friday night in Georgia, Gwinnett County police said Saturday.
Reed, 32, was walking in traffic on a major roadway just north of the metro Atlanta city of Lilburn "for some unknown reason" when she was struck around 10:30 p.m., according to Gwinnett police spokesman Sgt. Rich Long.
The driver of the vehicle, who was not charged in the incident, called 911 while the passenger administered CPR. Reed was pronounced dead at Gwinnett Medical Center.
Blaque, best known for the 2000 hit "Bring it All to Me," was discovered by TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. The group's self-titled album debuted in 1999. Lopes herself died in a 2002 car accident in Honduras.
Fellow Blaque members Shamari Devoe and Brandi Williams took to Twitter on Saturday to remember Reed.
"My world as I know it has forever changed. Until we meet again, may you find comfort in the arms of an angel. I love you Natina," Devoe tweeted.
Reed also appeared in the 2000 movie "Bring it On" as Jenelope, a feisty cheerleader from East Compton. Her co-star, Gabrielle Union, also tweeted about her death Saturday, posting "#RIP #Sad #BringItOn."
Reed is survived by her 10-year-old son, Tren.

BLUES (17-14-2) at WILD (21-11-2)
Last 10: St. Louis 5-5-0; Minnesota 8-2-0
Season series: This is the second of three meetings. The Blues won in overtime at home on Jan. 27. Minnesota looks to extend its home winning streak against St. Louis to three games.
Big story: The Wild hope to build off a dramatic come-from-behind shootout victory against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday as they aim for their first Northwest Division title in franchise history. The Blues are battling for a playoff spot and try to break their current three-game losing streak.
Team Scope:
Blues: St. Louis is coming off a much-needed three days rest as it looks ahead to the Wild at Xcel Energy Center on Monday. It will also have a new face on the blue line as general manager Doug Armstrong sent 2013 second-round and conditional fifth-round NHL Draft picks to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday in exchange for veteran defenseman Jordan Leopold.
The Blues will try to smooth out their recent rough patch following a hard-fought loss to the Kings this past Thursday. The Blues hung in there for most of the game thanks to a pair of goals by Vladimir Tarasenko, but couldn't stop Mike Richards from jamming the puck home in traffic during the closing minutes of regulation as they fell 4-2 for their third straight loss. The play was reviewed by the video team in Toronto and was eventually deemed a good goal.
"It was not good because [the] team [lost]," Tarasenko told NHL.com regarding his first multi-goal game since opening night. "It doesn't matter how many goals we score and how many games you make, it's all about the win. We don't have selfish players on our team. We're just thinking about wins."
Wild: With wins in eight of its last nine games, Minnesota is among the hottest teams in the Western Conference. And having won four in a row at home, the Wild are playing with a ton of confidence heading into their game Monday. The old adage that success breeds more success rung true Saturday when the Wild battled back from a 3-1 deficit to eventually defeat the Kings 4-3 in the shootout. Forward Charlie Coyle chipped away at the lead with a highlight-reel backhander goal from his knees in the second before Zach Parise sent it to overtime with a power-play goal in the third period. It marked the second home game in a row in which the Wild came back to win the game in extras.
"All I can say is just huge amounts of character," Wild coach Mike Yeo told reporters following the exciting win. "It's back-to-back games, [the Wild fans] sitting here waiting for us, down 3-1 against a team that doesn't give you much and you've got to fight for every inch that you get on the ice. So just a great job by our guys."
Who's hot: For St. Louis, Alex Pietrangelo has a goal and five assists in his past five games against Minnesota. ... Parise has eight points (four goals, four assists) in his past six contests for Minnesota.
Injury report: For the Blues, Jamie Langenbrunner is out for the season with a hip injury. ... For the Wild, forward Torrey Mitchell missed the game Saturday with an undisclosed illness. Goalie Josh Harding is dealing with the effects of multiple sclerosis, but was practicing last week.

5 dead space 3 does not let you downdhill96 | 03/03/2013 | See all dhill96's reviews (76)Top 100 Games Reviewer there have been a few changes made to the third installment with the weapons the bench area the suits you wear and there is a little free roam element where you can play or leave missions behind if your losing the plot the graphics are great as you'd expect there's nice flow through the chapters and game and story wise its a lot deeper you finally see what's behind the markers how it all started where it could end up of course not every one is gonna be happy with the changes and at first i wasn't too sure my self but after a few chapters it all comes together sit down and enjoy the ride isaac wont let you down
5 Out of this World!tazzys | 12/02/2013 | See all tazzys's reviews (59)Ever since the first DS this game title has been easily my favourate game series. It is hours of fun and keeps you coming back for more. It has attmosphere and suspence and horror, The third removes the need to collect nodes and has an all new weapons feature. Im approx 10 hours in now and thats only completed 50% of the single player campaign. I cant wait to see how the rest of the game unfolds and it has plenty to keep you on your toes. The graphics and music score are amazing and you really do get a feeling that you are there wether out in space or on the ice planet below. Some of the graphics are really kool and its nice just to float about space and take a look at what they have done with this third in the series. You can also do the campaign in 2 player mode which is an exciting feature. Dont worry if like me you love the ripper, line gun or pulse rifle for example they are all still included as too are some of your favourate necros! Plus a few more too boot. This is easily my best game and well worth the 40.00. My only gripe is all the add ons and how much they cost. This game could well get up towards the extremes of COD and BLOPS for example with all the extras that gready games companies seem to come with these days. If I am to purchase any of the extras I will wait till they drop right down in price. Otherwise this really is a masterpiece. DS is a classic and is isnt dated, the 2nd moves abit more towards action and way from the horror, the third has its all. Brilliant!
5 Great Buy!!kennay | 18/02/2013 | See all kennay's reviews (10)Picked this game up and was pleasantly surprised its different to the normal story of a dead space game a lot more story driven and a lot more action then usual but the game keeps things interesting and i never felt like i was forced to keep playing like with some recent releases and all the new features feel like they were always ment to be in a dead space game not just tacked on for the sequels sake.
5 DEAD SPACE 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!olliemac12 | 17/02/2013 | See all olliemac12's reviews (1)I don't see why everyone is moaning about dead space 3 it has stuck to its roots the scares have been a bit lost though, but how scary was dead space 2 not very. There are still jump elements, the action in my opinion hasn't made the dead space experience any worse. The main thing people have moaned about in DS3 is the new style of the game people would moan if EA did nothing new and kept the game the same just in the same way people are moaning that it is different, whatever EA did DS3 would have got slated.I recommend that you buy dead space 3 without hesitation it is an amazing game that deserves more credit than it has been given.
5 DEAD SPACE 3 is AMAZINGMegadethItaly | 10/02/2013 | See all MegadethItaly's reviews (17)I'm very proud of what Visceral Games has made with the third main entry in DS's franchise. It stil has got the atmosphere that we loved in the two previous games and it's as scary as the second.Besides i think that Dead Space (1) will ALWAYS be the best sruvival horror game ever made, Dead Space 3 is a worthwhile sequel which keeps the franchise alive!

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder that involves muscle weakness , which quickly gets worse.
Pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy; Muscular dystrophy - Duchenne type
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a form of muscular dystrophy . It worsens quickly. Other muscular dystrophies (including Becker's muscular dystrophy ) get worse much more slowly.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a defective gene for dystrophin (a protein in the muscles). However, it often occurs in people without a known family history of the condition.
Because of the way the disease is inherited, it usually affects boys. The sons of females who are carriers of the disease (women with a defective gene, but no symptoms themselves) each have a 50% chance of having the disease. The daughters each have a 50% chance of being carriers. Very rarely, a girl can be affected by the disease.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy occurs in about 1 out of every 3,600 male infants. Because this is an inherited disorder, risks include a family history of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Symptoms usually appear before age 6 and may appear as early as infancy.
They may include:
Muscle weakness:
Progressive difficulty walking :
A complete nervous system (neurological), heart, lung, and muscle exam may show:
Tests may include:
There is no known cure for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Treatment aims to control symptoms to improve quality of life.
Steroid drugs can slow the loss of muscle strength. They may be started when the child is diagnosed or when muscle strength begins to decline.
Other treatments may include:
However, the effects of these treatments have not been proven. Stem cells and gene therapy may be used in the future.
Activity is encouraged. Inactivity (such as bedrest) can make the muscle disease worse. Physical therapy may help to maintain muscle strength and function. Speech therapy is often needed.
Several new treatments are being studied in trials.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems. The Muscular Dystrophy Association is an excellent source of information on this disease.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy leads to progressively worsening disability. Death usually occurs by age 25, typically from lung disorders.
Call your health care provider if:
People with a family history of the disorder may want to seek genetic counseling. Genetic studies done during pregnancy are very accurate in detecting Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Australia goes purple as temperature goes off the charts
Australia's Bureau of Meteorology adds deep purple to its maps in response to off the charts heat / Australian Bureau of Meteorology
"Off the charts" is a phrase that gets thrown around liberally when it comes to temperature. But in the case of Australia's current heat wave and raging wildfires, temperatures are literally higher than the government's charts were designed to go. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has had to introduce a new color -- deep purple -- to account for the record-breaking heat.

Insomnia is trouble falling asleep, staying asleep through the night, or waking up too early in the morning.
Episodes of insomnia may come and go or be long-lasting.
The quality of your sleep is as important as how much sleep you get.
Sleep disorder - insomnia; Sleep issues; Difficulty falling asleep
Sleep habits we learned as children may affect our sleep behaviors as adults. Poor sleep or lifestyle habits that may cause insomnia or make it worse include:
The use of some medications and drugs may also affect sleep, including:
Physical, social, and mental health issues can affect sleep patterns, including:
With age, sleep patterns tend to change. Many people find that aging causes them to have a harder time falling asleep, and that they wake up more often.
The most common complaints or symptoms in people with insomnia are:
People who have insomnia are sometimes consumed by the thought of getting enough sleep. But the more they try to sleep, the more frustrated and upset they get, and the harder sleep becomes.
Lack of restful sleep can:
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask you questions about your current medications, drug use, and medical history. Usually, these are the only methods needed to diagnose insomnia.
Not getting 8 hours of sleep every night does not mean your health is at risk. Different people have different sleep needs. Some people do fine on 6 hours of sleep a night. Others only do well if they get 10 to 11 hours of sleep a night.
Treatment often begins by reviewing any drugs or medical conditions that may be causing or worsen insomnia, such as:
You should also think about lifestyle and sleep habits that may affect your sleep. This is called sleep hygiene. Making some changes in your sleep habits may improve or solve your insomnia.
Using medicine to treat insomnia can sometimes be useful. But there can be risks. It may help to see a psychiatrist or another mental health provider to test for mood or anxiety disorders that can cause insomnia.
Most people are able to sleep by practicing good sleep hygiene.
Call your doctor if insomnia has become a problem.

Immigration Policy & Law
Immigration Policy & Law
Recent Activity
In the most recent session of Congress, four legislative proposals addressing unauthorized immigration and general immigration reform have been introduced. MPI's Eliot Turner and Marc R. Rosenblum compare their provisions for enforcement, employer sanctions, legalization, and guest worker programs.
Spain's latest regularization program, unlike in the past, is part of a more comprehensive approach to combating illegal immigration and employment. Joaquín Arango of Complutense University of Madrid and Maia Jachimowicz outline the program and provide some preliminary results.
Over the past 25 years, regularization programs have become more common. Amanda Levinson explains their challenges, their outcomes, and why governments choose such programs.
An ILO study of Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, and the United Arab Emirates highlights the special risks of domestic work for women. Gloria Moreno-Fontes Chammartin discusses the findings and implications.
Monette Zard of the International Council on Human Rights Policy presents human rights as a tool for empowering migrants, reframing migration debates, and holding states accountable.
This discussion focuses on the MPI report, "Executive Action on Immigration: Six Ways to Make the System Work Better," which outlines administrative actions that can be implemented to improve the immigration system.
In a report by MPI's Labor Markets Initiative, noted economist and Georgetown University Public Policy Institute Professor Harry J. Holzer examines the economic reasoning and research on these questions and looks at the policy options that shape the impact of less-skilled immigration on the economy. The discussion is on what policy reform would best serve native-born American workers, consumers, and employers, as well as the overall U.S. economy.
This important MPI report challenges the conventional wisdom about the immigrant workforce, using a sophisticated new method of analysis that permits deeper examination of how workers – immigrant and native-born – fare by economic sector, the skill level of their jobs, and educational attainment.
The conference, co-sponsored by Georgetown Law, Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc., and the Migration Policy Institute, focused immigration and refugee law and policy.
Briefing and discussion of the release of the latest paper by MPI's Labor Markets Initiative: The Impact of Immigrants in Recession and Economic Expansion.
A discussion with Rosario Farmhouse, Alejandro Mayorkas, Jasenko Selimovic, Peter Sylvester, and Demetrios G. Papademetriou, MPI President.
The launch of the Diaspora handbook and a joint panel discussion that explored the opportunities and challenges that governments face when developing strategies to engage diaspora populations.
The launch in Bangkok of an issue brief series on labor migration in Asia undertaken by MPI and IOM with speakers H.E. Phadermchai Sasomsub, H.E. Kazi Imtiaz Hossain, H.E. Linglingay Lacanlale, Andrew Bruce, and Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias.
The Migration Policy Institute celebrated its first decade as the authoritative, unimpeachable resource on immigration and immigrant integration analysis and policy design in the United States and internationally.
This event marks MPI Europe's official launch in Brussels. To inaugurate the new office, MPI Europe will host a panel discussion to explore what is driving societal discontent in Europe, the role immigration plays in this, and why there is a growing perception that immigrant integration efforts are failing.
Recent Activity
This report examines the complexity of immigrant integration governance in EU Member States, and offers detailed mapping of the origin-country institutions that are increasingly involved in integration-related activities. It explores how EU institutions can maximize opportunities for cooperation between origin and destination countries on integration governance.
This MPI panel discussion examines the U.S. deportation system with analysis on migrant apprehensions, removals, returns, and criminal prosecutions, and launches the report, "The Deportation Dilemma: Reconciling Tough and Humane Enforcement."
This report profiles the current-era deportation system, exploring the new legal authorities, spending increases, and policy changes over the last two decades that have resulted in the removal of more than 4.5 million unauthorized immigrants since 1996. The report analyzes key trends in border and interior apprehensions, deportations, and criminal prosecutions, and examines the policy levers available to influence deportation policies, practices, and outcomes.
Within days, the Obama administration is expected to reach a milestone that has brought fear and anger to immigrant communities: A record 2 million removals since taking office. At the same time, the administration is accused of failure to enforce immigration law for its actions to shield from deportation hundreds of thousands of unauthorized immigrant youth and others. How are these two seemingly contradictory realities possible?
A quiet policy transformation is taking place in Europe, as policymakers increasingly turn to a strategy of "mainstreaming" immigrant integration—seeking to reach people with a migration background through needs-based social programming and policies that also target the general population. This report assesses mainstreaming efforts across government in Denmark, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
MPI experts, along with representatives from Gwinnett County Public Schools and the University of Georgia's Center for Latino Achievement and Success in Education, discuss the educational experiences of Georgia's first- and second-generation immigrant youth and where Georgia's ambitious education reforms have met—or failed to meet—the needs of this growing population.
This event with UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres features findings from UNHCR's report, Children on the Run, which examines the increasing numbers of children from Central America and Mexico who head off alone to find refuge in the United States, fleeing violence, insecurity, and abuse. The discussion provides analysis on the reasons behind the growing migration of this vulnerable population and offers recommendations. Read the report here.
This report analyzes the educational experiences and outcomes of immigrant youth ages 16 to 26 across Georgia's education systems, encompassing K-12, adult, and postsecondary. By examining these interconnected systems together, the analysis offers linked strategies for advancing the educational attainment of Georgia's immigrant youth.

I have a theory which I developed on my own.
I postulate that what we refer to as psychic ability is a new step in human evolution. That we are in the beginning stages of becoming a psychic race. This can either be a random mutation in a person's genetic code or passed down through generations. Some are better able to use their abilities than others. Those that could be called masters would be those like Edgar Cayce the "sleeping prophet." Remote viewers would be close to this. But as of present day the ability is not strong enough to be of practical use. Some day it could be.
What does anyone think? Am I on to something or got myself mixed up?

People also go around and say "Islam is a very peaceful religion, you have just missunderstood the religion. Muslims will laugh at you because of your ignorance". I am fully aware of how the Quran is a plagarism and how offensive it is to women, science and basically humanity. But what I lack is enough details and exact quotes from the Quran that can strengthen my argument. I read a lot of Dawkins and Hitchens, but unfortunately, their criticize is more focused on Christianity and Judaism, than Islam itself.
Can someone provide some valuable information from the Quran that shows how atrocious it really is. Give me some tips of writers that has analyzed the religion so I can become more educated about the scriptures.
If you have your own viewpoints on Islam do not hesitate to express them.
Also, I would like the context that they are written in.
Almost all verses of Quran (maybe not the most essential parts of the religion) are related to the events of the time in which they were descended (out ouf Muh.'s imagination).
Whoever says that those verses don't apply to Muslim life because they were situational then must say that Quran is not a guide to humanity, and is simply a prose storybook about 7th century Arabia...
In Quran the latter verses (chronogically, not in current Quranic order) are said to replace the previous ones. Most Muslims do the exact opposite and show peaceful verses from the time when Muhammed & believers lived as a minority in Mecca.
Actually that transition is quite nice to show to Muslims.
First it is "Leave each other be" - peace (surah 109. is actually an early sura)
Then "Fight with those who fight you" - retaliation (I cannot remember exact verses but there are quite a number of those)
Then "Fight them till they bow" - world dominion (9:29)
edit: I almost forgot!
If one claims that in Quran latter verses do not override earlier ones, they will not be able to tell whether wine is haram or not :)
Because an earlier verse claims wine is both good & bad 2:219, and does not forbid it....
Similarly, just because earlier verses did not order them to wage war, it doesn't change that the latter verses DO.
But I must say, this is not a good way to argue with Muslims to convert them ... This will inevitably turn into a contest with Christianity (regardless of your not being one), and how Muslims were oppressed and are oppressed and oppressed and oppressed...... It will take 20 seconds for them to forget the argument was about their own belief.
When a Muslim faces this, it feels like an accusation to them and psychological defense mechanisms rise to the challenge against reality.
I find going against the essence of their beliefs much more useful.
In no way am I defending the Qur'an. But a command to kill those people (the Meccans) with whom one is at war prior to 632 should hardly be read as a command to kill Western Christians or Jews in 2012. The OT recounts complete destruction of one's enemies, including the slaughter of infants and the taking of women as slaves, but no Christian leaders advocate this policy of total war today.
Christians, too, seem to feel persecuted by the slightest criticism of their beliefs, so there is very little rational discussion, but what can we expect from adherents to irrational belief systems? Organized religions profess exact knowledge of the desires of supernatural beings and have quite often shown themselves more than willing to destroy human life so as to avoid offending said supernatural beings. It's crazy.
Question: If later verses in the Qur'an supersede earlier ones, how does one determine any sort of order for the suras? They are currently, with the exception of Sura 1, arranged in descending order by length. It makes absolutely no sense to assume that a particular sura is theologically correct by virtue of being shorter. A chronological arrangement would be more logical; a later revelation might reasonably override an earlier one. Have Islamic scholars determined a chronological order? Where can if be found?
Talked with a person that said "I don't know why Islam would come in the way of Science, when Islam was "at its best" science flourished in the Muslim nations and Human Rights were something that Muslims gave to non Muslims when Europeans acted like Barbarians in their own countries. Spain is a good example of how you treated non Muslims".
What is your response to a statement like this? How can you argue with a mind that clearly thinks that Islam is still like this? (if Islam ever really was like this.)
Hello, Ex-Muslim here :)
Well, I simply accept that Islamic world in the middle ages was relatively superior to Catholics of the so called "Christian Dark Ages". As time went by Christians started questioning their beliefs and the advanced as a culture
It should be noted that "Islam at its best" was tolerant to people like Omar Khayyam !!
That is not Islam at its best, that simply Middle Eastern world at its best, and thanks to Islam they lost that soon enough....
"Islam at its best" was Imam Al-Gazali claiming that Avicenna (an important Muslim scientist that contributed to medicine) was a heretic because he was doing philosophy (Avicenna was not even against Islam) and no one caring about it.
"Islam at its worsening" is when people start to listening the likes of Al-Gazali...
"Islam at its worsening" is when people like Omar Khayyam who criticise religion are no longer allowed to be...
Islam at its worst = Islam itself as it was meant to be :)
The reason that the Islamic world was better at that time was because they were going to through a "renaissance" of their own - while they were still Muslims, (just like the people of renaissance Italy were Christians) that speaks nothing about Islam. I think tow events are similar because they both involve city-state setting (lack of an unopposable central authority) and good trade income.
It did not last very long with the Islamic world though...
Islam was never toward advancement but in a certain peroid of history Catholics were racing their intolerance with Islam and winning ....
atheists never submit. to any god!
The Qur'an is not nearly as long as the Bible, and I was able to read it in its entirety. There are parts which are horribly unjust, which justify all of the describtive terms used in the OP. I see these accusations come from Christians more often than nontheists. However, I do not see how the Muslim holy book is one bit worse than the Bible. For every repulsive piece you can comb out of the Qur'an, you can find one equally or more severely unjust in the Bible.
When I read the works of Muslim apologists and scholars like Reza Aslan who defend Islam against accusations of promoting violence, they tend not to re-interpret the verses to appear civil as the Christians do, but instead show the Bible to be just as disgusting so they may claim, correctly, that Islam is judged by a double-standard. They think it hypocritical that people, mostly westerns, pick apart the Muslim holy book while ignoring their own sacred texts.
It appears this aspect of Middle-Eastern and Muslim culture is to be blamed for violence among Muslims, just as much as the text itself. The problem with Islam is not that its texts are exceptionally violent, but that many Muslims have not learned to ignore their sacred texts as many Christians have.
I agree with your post fully, but I do not believe that Muslims learning to ignore their texts is going to be a stable solution....
Islam is not Christianity- and that is not about the texts, but in the historical development... Like the relation of siblings even if they are genetically very similar, just because one of them came later they end up being entirely different people.
Christianity was never forced to content with Islam back during the reforms as Islam is contending with Christianity. Christians -with their own dynamics- changed religion, so they had no trouble accepting change.
Today in the Muslim world an important percent of change is being mediated by these "dialouge between religions" thing, and many Muslims see that as an atrocity - because to them it is Christians who never stop bashing their beliefs, and now it is Christians who ask them to ignore some of their texts.
Even one of the moderate Muslims of Turkey (Yaşar Nuri Öztürk) who is against fundamentalists, is not happy with changing education of religion because Christians want them to.
So long as Islam is "standing against oppression & double standard" (in their eyes) Muslims will not care how atrocious or ridiculous it is....
Ideally, anti-Islamic propaganda should be perfectly secular, and not Christian/Western.. I don't see why some seculars are blind to this and actually support Christians against Islam. Against non-religious criticism (preferably ex-Muslims) Muslims will defend their texts comparing them against up-to-date human morality and not the old testament expansion pack....
Since that ideal is out of the table, I don't have any hopes that Muslims will grow more benign. As of now, they grow more extremist by the day (Turkey is a big exception to this; the reasons behind that would be too long to explain now, sufficient to say that I believe those reasons are not reliable, so Turkey is not going to be a solid fortress for moderate Islam in the long run either)
This difference about Muslims standing in the world only adds to the general moderate religion criticisms by Dawkins and others...
These are the reasons why I don't think we should try to re-enact Western secular development in Muslims countries, or expect it to develop that way.
A lot of Muslim scholars historically are convinced that the Quran is far better in its promotion of gender equality that either the Christian Bible or Western society generally, especially as it was before the sexual revolution. Granted, one can also use the Quran to promote misogyny. I don't dispute that. I am writing a paper right now on Arab (mostly Egyptian) feminism at the turn of the 20th century, and all the pro-feminist (they did not use that term, of course) writing is based at least in part on an idea of Quranic equality of the sexes. The hard-line, oppressive, insular point of view is primarily a reaction to western imperialist efforts to westernize the Middle East. The veil is a prime example. No one gave it much though until Western powers tried to ban it. There's a book called Invented Tradition (I forgot the authors) that describe how the Scottish kilt was an 18th century invention and was never seen as traditional Scottish clothing until the English tried to ban it.
I'm sure we'll have quotes for you, but just read the koran. It's in the library. I'm sure it's on the internet.
they eat each other just like the fundy xitans fail times what? .. centuries I'm sure..

I was molested as a girl (the statistics are officially 1 out of every 3 females will have to deal with some kind of sexual molestation or rape before she passes out of this world)
The person who molested me..they went on to babysit kids Iknow..I had warned the parents..they ignored me, basically deaming me a trouble maker. Thye didn't wan tot hear it. Don't rock the boat.
I told them, I was just passing it on as a faavor. Thye felt it would be "Unchristian" not to give this guy a chance and allow him to not only be alone with their kids, but BZBYSIT them.
The girl..it is obvious at this point sahe was molested by..someone.
wonder who????
The person who molested me is a person in my family, whom I do still care about and I can see battle with their demons things like this are complicated)..but I would NEVER let my kid be alone with them..never. (and they know it)
regarding mind control and such...
well..it's a different subject..but..hey..they know a broken psyche is fantastic for manipulation, right?
Sexual abuse and or toture to a young child is one great way to break a psyche..primed by dissassociation.
The truth is MK-Ultra or not..this crap is humankind's dirty big secret (one of them)

'Two 'Meatheads' Going Home'
06 August 2010
'Two 'Meatheads' Going Home'
Turin. Show day.
First show day at last and, all things considered, it was relatively straightforward. Down at the stadium before doors open there was an absolute media scrum going on, largely from the countries we will be visiting over the next month or so. I did a couple of interviews with TV crews from Turkey and Russia. The Russian crew asked very nicely, so I took them under the stage. The first thing you come to in 'underworld' is a row of sound consoles which take care of the onstage sound for the band ('monitors'). The be-headphoned monitor engineers were doing their line checks in a state of complete calm, which must not have looked sufficiently exciting to our Russian TV presenter, as she announced deadpan to the group of guys: 'Could you please pretend you are working?'. I'd say we€™ll get plenty of mileage out of that.
The rest of the day consisted of getting back into the 'show day' routine. It will be second nature in a week or two but today I had to think about every step. Set lists, final tweaks, pep-talks, encouragements, remembering to have dinner, heading to front-of-house.
It was a pretty great show for an opening night so we can breathe a sigh of relief and move on. I was happy with the new show elements (particularly the two 'Meatheads' in their flying saucer who appear at intermission whistling 'Where the Streets Have No Name') and there was a solid first airing of the new songs.
I didn€™t do the 'runner' to the plane with everyone else as Smasher has brought his own vehicle. Given that there's no water between here and Belgium, he decided to bring his little van which will be very handy as we're hubbing out of Nice for the next while. It's only a three-hour drive from Turin, but I thought it better that Smasher didn't drive alone after the gig, and besides, it would be a bit of an adventure.
Once the show was over we didn't linger too long before setting off on the drive. The vehicle is a little two-seater van so I felt like we were delivering pizza. We got through the gig traffic, out of the city of Turin, onto the freeway and into the darkness. Our conversation fell quiet as we sped along, thinking over the gig we'd just experienced and I realised in a moment that we were in fact the two 'Meatheads' going home from the gig in our little craft. I didn't say anything but just started whistling 'Where the Streets Have No Name' and Smasher started laughing so hard he almost crashed the van.
We drove for a couple of hours before stopping for fuel and a snack at a roadside gas station. The place was in the middle of nowhere, just a regular, tiny petrol station at 2am, but they not only had an espresso bar with barista, but also a sandwich counter with a man making fresh panini. This was a joy and naturally we took advantage of the situation but it also brought a wave of despair for my own nation, which seems to have given up on feeling such food rituals are at all important. Even the making of a cup of tea (which, if properly undertaken, is a task of comparable complexity to making an espresso) has been relegated to the throwaway process of sticking a bag in a cup. The Kiwis still have it down - you can barely get a cup of tea in New Zealand that doesn't involve teapots, hot water jugs, saucers and strainers, etc but the Brits seem to have given up entirely.
We docked the flying saucer in Nice at about 3am and joined the rest of the touring party on the roof of the hotel for a nightcap. They'd only got there about half an hour earlier, which made us feel good. I'd say that we'll sleep well tonight.

Latest Willie's Diary
21 Nov, 2006
Travel day, Melbourne - Auckland.
Within the bands entourage (certainly by comparison to the crews clockwork scheduling) travel departure times are often a little loose. This morning was especially so, due to three contradictory memos which had been emailed out last night and this morning.

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

Just a few steps from the sea and the beach
Caorle is located 1 hour from Venice and Trieste. Caorle dista circa 60 Km da Venezia e 100 km da Trieste. The Hotel all'Orologio is located in Caorle (Venice) just a few steps from the sea and the beach, in the center of the "Villaggio dell'Orologio"-"Marina Verde", a lovely green oasis near the quaint little harbour.
Close to the Caorle center
There is a mini-golf course just opposite the hotel as well as four clay tennis courts; and just down the road, our beach awaits you, where you may take a leisurely stroll down the seaside path called the "Scogliera Viva" leading to the church of "Madonna dell'Angelo". The hotel is connected to the pedestrian area of viale S. Margherita (the shopping and restaurant area) in the old town of Caorle.

Dark Mahogany Turner Swivel Tower
Purchased this for my granddaughter and she puts her stuffed animals, and other things precious to her, on the shelves. We also put some 3M removable hooks on the sides to hang her necklaces and bracelets.
She also loves using the mirror when getting dressed for school or when rehearsing for a play at school. :-)
Great addition to her bedroom and would for sure recommend it.

Terrific Swivel Tower that Covers All the Bases
I bought this swivel tower on May 4th, had it delivered on May 10th and assembled it in 30-45 minutes. It was awesome.
One warning: Anyone who drives a compact car MUST have this piece of furniture DELIVERED. Cost Plus may charge up to $100 to deliver (I paid $69 and I live 8 miles from the store). So BEWARE! The box is HUGE. The packed tower was larger than my Corolla.
That said, this swivel tower is a beautiful piece of furniture. I'm glad that I bought it. I'd like to buy another one but can't really stomach the delivery fee again. Too bad.

Space saving, functional and looks great
I replaced a freestanding oak framed mirror in my very small bedroom with this swivel tower. I was always tripping on the base of my old mirror. This has a MUCH smaller base and wonderful storage space, which I am using for books and other items. I love it!
June 13, 2012
Very attractive piece of furniture.
I have the tower in my great room. I have received many compliments on the tower. I plan on purchasing one for my bedroom. My daughter loves it. She gets to take one last look at herself before she leaves the house.

Love This!
we bought this for our teenage daughter, she has a small room and is VERY PICKY about her furniture. this is Fantastic as she can store books and Nick-Nacks on the shelving and then swivel around to use as her room mirror. I've decided I'm getting one for me now too! I think it would be great to store my purses and some shoes on the lower shelves!

Great Piece but Will Tip Over Easily
I really love this tower for being so versatile and it looks great! The only thing I don't like is that the bottom panel doesn't hold the tower sturdy. Disappointing!! I do not recommend this item where there are children or where it might be knocked over easily. It seems like it needs additional hardware so the bottom panel holds the tower sturdy so that when you swivel it around it doesn't tip over. I have to swivel it around very slowly. I checked and rechecked my instructions to see if anything was missing but I had everything. I use it in my bedroom to hold things I want to keep out of sight. For that purpose it's great!
May 30, 2013
Looks Great Wonderful space saver!
I wanted to free up space by getting rid of my wide dresser, this swivel tower was great. Not only does it work as a dresser but now I have a full length mirror as well. For my usage I believe this piece of furniture will hold up well, but I does rock a bit well turning. I do wish it had a bit more depth because I am using it to hold clothing. I did add two under the counter basket drawers for my smaller items. This tower is very versatile. Looking at other swivel bookcases this one is one of the best at this cheaper price point.

Versatile, functional and attractive
I bought this unit for my teenage daughter's room. The room is small and storage of all her chachkis was a challenge. The bookcase solved two problems -- all the stuff on her desk could now be stored in the deep pockets of the shelves, and she can swivel it around to use the very tall full length mirror. She's very happy with this bookcase, and it looks great in her room -- and she's very picky about these kinds of things. The only drawback is the unit it top heavy and wobbles a little if you turn it to quickly.

The diagnosis of heart failure is made largely on a patient's symptoms and a physical exam. However, there are many tests that can help give more information about the condition.
An echocardiogram (Echo) is a test that uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart. The picture is much more detailed than a plain x-ray image.
This test helps your doctor learn more about how well your heart contracts and relaxes. It also provides information about the size of your heart and how well the heart valves are working.
An echocardiogram is the best test to:
Heart failure can be diagnosed if the echocardiogram shows that the pumping function of the heart is too low. This is called an ejection fraction. A normal ejection fraction is around 55 - 65%.
If only some parts of the heart are not working correctly, it may mean that there is a blockage in the artery of the heart that delivers blood to that area.
Many other imaging tests are used to look at how well your heart is able to pump blood and the extent of heart muscle damage.
You may have a chest x-ray done in your doctor's office if your symptoms suddenly become worse. However, a chest x-ray cannot diagnose heart failure.
Ventriculography is another test that measures the overall squeezing strength of the heart (ejection fraction). Like an echocardiogram, it can show parts of the heart muscle that are not moving well. This test uses x-ray contrast fluid to fill the pumping chamber of the heart and evaluate its function. It is often done at the same time as other tests, such as coronary angiography.
MRI of the heart may be done to check how much heart muscle damage is present. It can also help detect the reason for a patient's heart failure.
Stress tests are done to see whether the heart muscle is getting enough blood flow and oxygen when it is working hard (under stress). Types of stress tests include:
Your doctor may order a heart catheterization if any imaging tests show that you have narrowing in one of your arteries, or if you are having chest pain (angina).
Many different blood tests can be used to learn more about your condition, including tests to:
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine tests help monitor how well your kidneys are working. You will need these test regularly if:
Sodium and potassium levels in your blood will need to be measured on a regular basis when there are changes made for some medicines including:
Anemia, or low red blood cell count, can make your heart failure worse. So your doctor will check your CBC or complete blood count on a regular basis or when your symptoms become worse.

Alright--I know only bare minimum about computers and wireless networks, etc.
For work, I have a static IP with a Verizon modem and a Linksys Wireless router. The modem is linked to the router and I have a cable running from my router to my work PC. I've got a wireless network configured and has worked like a bird for the longest time. Only in the last few months does it go through spells where I can see the network (SSID: LetsGoBlues), it has a strong connection, but I cannot connect to it. I can select repair and it's unable to either connect to the network or repair my IP address (or whatever it says during the repair phase).
Some mornings, I'll turn my laptop on, the wireless will work fine. I turn it on again at lunch, no connection. That night: works fine. Then the following morning it won't work and it may not work all day.
Anyone with any computer experience have any idea? My wife has a laptop and typically she has no issues on hers when I'm having problems with mine, but have yet to check that out this time around. I've run a Malwarebytes scan and a virus scan and haven't found anything.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If u got 24, then either you didn't divide into 48 or multiply by 12. There's one more step from the point of "24" either way.

Answer =Two,
Order of operations problem(i.e. please excuse my dear aunt sally). Parenthesis work first(add), then multiply, then divide. You can multiply or divide in any order, but work in parenthesis takes precedence regardless of operation.
Hope this helps, often people play with these sorts of problems, so there may be some trick that they may say affects the answer.
