Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, of Comparative Medicine and of Neurobiology; Director, Reproductive Neurosciences Group
Biographical Info
Sabrina Diano, Ph.D.
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 737-1216
Dr. Sabrina Diano is a Tenure Professor in Departments of OB/GYN & Reproductive Sciences, Neurobiology and Comparative Medicine at the Yale University School of Medicine. She is also part of the Integrative Cell Signaling and Neurobiology of Metabolism (ICSNM), and Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program here at Yale. She graduated with honors from the University of Naples "Federico II", Naples, Italy. She conducted her post doctoral studies here at Yale where she became faculty in 2000.
Her research focuses on CNS (hypothalamic) mechanisms relating to the regulation of energy homeostasis, with emphasis on hormone action in the hypothalamus. Her studies on hypothalamic inter- and intra-cellular mechanisms that regulates energy metabolism add critical information to the current understanding of the central regulation of energy balance and how alterations in stored energy are sensed in the hypothalamus. The results of her research have important implications for understanding the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome, obesity and type 2 diabetes, disorders that are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the U.S., and the developed world in general, with the highest financial burden on the National economy.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Mike Whaley: Another tough life battle that Jayson is winning
Wednesday, March 27, 2013
Jayson Whitehouse was often challenged as a Farmington High School baseball and basketball star earlier this century.
Whitehouse was heading home to Alton from his job doing line work when his Honda crossed the center line on Route 7 in Plymouth, Maine, and struck another car. Both cars were totaled and Whitehouse was air-lifted via helicopter to EMMC with life-threatening injuries. Courtney Lacadie, 38, of Dixmont, Maine, the driver of the other car, had serious injuries and was transported by ambulance. "The engine was in the front seat," said Sayre Whitehouse, Jayson's wife. "It took an hour to get him out. They had to take off his roof and his door (to the car)." The three weeks in Maine were painful as Jayson made it through each surgery. At one point it was thought he might lose his right leg altogether. "We just weren't sure," Sayre said. "He had a brain injury and he was on a breathing tube. They weren't sure if they could save his leg. It was pretty scary. It was really tough." Of his two legs, the right was in the worse shape, by far. The middle of the leg was basically crushed."They weren't sure if they had to amputate, but then it started to heal," Sayre said.
After his time at EMMC, Jayson was sent to Portsmouth Rehabilitation Hospital to begin a lengthy rehab process, which is still ongoing. He received the go ahead after four weeks to return home on Jan. 17.
"People see me walking," he said. "I've gotten there fast, but now it's slow mo. The process seems like it will take forever."

Give your dog freedom with a Havahart® Wireless Dog Fence. Havahart® Wireless has developed the latest technology in wireless dog fences with you and your dog in mind.
What is a wireless fence?
A wireless dog fence is an alternative solution to contain your dog if you prefer not to put up a traditional structural fence or bury an underground wire electric fence. In using a wireless fence, your dog would be required to wear a collar. This collar communicates continuously with the system components, enabling it to deliver an audible or static pulsing correction when your dog crosses the fence boundary. Wireless systems also feature in-home alerts when the boundary has been crossed, so you know immediately if your dog has escaped. These type of fences require proper training of your dog to respond to the fence boundary, which takes approximately three weeks to complete. Close »
Will a wireless fence work on my property?
There are limitations in wireless technology, so there are instances where an underground wire fence would be the ideal solution. If you have questions about these differences, please consult our experts at 1-800-800-1819, option 453. Or, watch our Property Challenges video to ensure that you learn all potential challenges to wireless technology. Close »
Radial vs. Custom
A wireless fence provides two types of formations: a circular-shaped fence or a custom-shaped fence that contours to your particular yard. Use the comparision chart below to see the main differences between our Radial-Shape and Custom-Shape Wireless Fence Systems.
Third Party Reviews
Boundary wobble, the movement of the boundary line from moment to moment, is one of the principle drawbacks of wireless fence systems. When the boundary line is inconsistent and moves, it is more difficult for the dog to learn where exactly the boundary is. It is also difficult in situations where you need a clear boundary to keep the dog out of danger that is on the other side of the boundary. The Havahart had by far the least boundary wobble of any wireless dog fence systems - by an extraordinary factor of three, but still it was not as good as a traditional wired systems which have close to zero wobble.
Perimeter Technology's Wifi Fence had a very high amount of wobble - making it one to avoid. This result was very surprising to us, since Perimeter and Havahart use similar wifi technology. Nonetheless, the Havahart outperformed the Wifi head-to-head in all our testing scenarios.
Retreat response the distance the dog has to retreat in order to stop getting the correction is the other drawback of wireless systems. Wireless systems require the dog to retreat a much greater distance to stop receiving the correction. This again makes training more difficult because the dog has to be taught to retreat a long distance, and is not rewarded with the cessation of the correction as soon as they start retreating.
Again the Havaharts outpaced the PetSafes and trounced the Perimeter Wifi with significant. And again, wired systems outperformed the Havaharts.

why only Russians? (and Nazis)
First produced in 1983. Top speed: 42 mph. Range: 289 miles. The Textron AGT 1500 gas turbine engine gives Abrams a power-to-weight ratio of 26.64 horsepower per ton. Armor thickness: classified. Primary armament: 120-mm M256 gun. The M-1 scores full marks for firepower and armor - it is the match of any of today's top tanks. The gas-guzzling engine loses points for mobility, though it still scores way above average. For its production rating, the score is low. This is a monstrously complex tank, expensive and difficult to engineer. Arguably the deadliest tank of all time, it gets full marks for fear factor. |

Most openings develop pieces and protect them.
No great point having a protected piece that cannot move and has no part in your plan.
That's why it's such a great game. Depends on what one calls developed. Hard to move lost pieces...LOL
Ever play anyone ranked above 1500.....? being honest..actual 1500 ranked players never worry much about opening strategy they tend to counter punch. Developed pieces tend to be sacrificed by novice players, which in the end always proves fatal.
Obviously developed pieces are protected by pawns, yet pawns tend to hinder attack.
Most usually end with pawns and possible promotion. Better players with crush you quickly in any end game scenario such as that one.
Maybe we can dust off the rust and have a go.

Asherman syndrome is the formation of intrauterine adhesions (scar tissue), which typically develop after uterine surgery.
Uterine synechiae
Asherman syndrome is a rare condition. In most cases, it occurs in women who have had several dilatation and curettage (D&C) procedures.
A severe pelvic infection unrelated to surgery may also lead to Asherman syndrome.
Intrauterine adhesions can also form after infection with tuberculosis or schistosomiasis. These infections are rare in the United States, and uterine complications such as Asherman syndrome related to these infections are even less common.
The adhesions may cause amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods), repeated miscarriages, and infertility.
However, such symptoms could be related to several conditions. They are more likely to indicate Asherman syndrome if they occur suddenly after a D&C or other uterine surgery.
A pelvic exam is usually normal.
Tests may include:
Treatment involves surgery to cut and remove the adhesions or scar tissue. This can usually be done with hysteroscopy, which uses small instruments and a camera placed into the uterus through the cervix.
After scar tissue is removed, the uterine cavity must be kept open while it heals to prevent adhesions from returning. Your health care provider may place a small balloon inside the uterus for several days and prescribe estrogen therapy while the uterine lining heals.
Antibiotic treatment may be necessary if there is an infection.
The stress of illness can often be helped by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems.
Asherman syndrome can be cured in most women with surgery, although sometimes more than one procedure will be necessary.
Women who are infertile because of Asherman syndrome may have a successful pregnancy after treatment. Successful pregnancy depends on the severity of Asherman syndrome and the difficulty of the treatment, as well as other factors that affect fertility and pregnancy.
Complications of hysteroscopic surgery are uncommon and include bleeding, perforation of the uterus, and pelvic infection.
In some cases, treatment of Asherman syndrome will not cure infertility.
Call your doctor or nurse if your menstrual periods do not return after a gynecologic or obstetrical procedure. See a specialist for an infertility evaluation if you cannot get pregnant after 6 to 12 months of trying.
Most cases of Asherman syndrome cannot be predicted or prevented.

Vater is very pleased to announce that Max Weinberg, the legendary drummer for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, has joined the Vater Artist Family!
In 1974, Max Weinberg was playing in pit bands for theatrical productions when he answered the Village Voice advertisement that requested a drummer capable of playing R&B and jazz for an immediate audition. Weinberg had never seen the E Street Band and was unfamiliar with most of their material. He was, however, a talented drummer and possessed superior instincts. Legend has it that Max's performance on "Let the Four Winds Blow" during his audition won him the job. Weinberg could easily play the beat for the song, but it was his ability to take cues from Springsteen — specifically, playing a rim shot when Bruce held up his hand to stop the band and then starting back into the song — that was most impressive. Max joined the band at the same time as new pianist Roy Bittan, and the new lineup of the E Street Band went on to record some of Bruce's best selling and most highly regarded albums. Mighty Max's crisp, powerful drumming is a highlight of hits such as "Born in the U.S.A.," as well as deeper album tracks such as "Candy's Room." Following the band's breakup in 1989, he would find great success as the musical director and band leader for "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." Having literally talked his way into the job following a chance meeting with O'Brien on a New York City street, Weinberg put together a top flight set of musicians to form the Max Weinberg Seven. When the E Street Band reunited and proceeded to tour regularly in the 2000s, NBC allowed a special dispensation, permitting Max to take leaves of absence from the show in order to go on tour. When scheduling difficulties associated with O'Brien's move to the "Tonight Show" forced Max to miss several E Street Band shows in 2009, Bruce chose Max's son, Jay, to serve as a temporary replacement. Max is currently on an arena tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in support of their new release, Wrecking Ball. Released on March 5, 2012, Wrecking Ball debuted at No.1 in 16 countries and was Springsteen's tenth No. 1 album in the United States, tying him with Elvis Presley for third-most No. 1 albums of all-time. "We're very excited and honored to welcome Max Weinberg into the Vater Family!" said Chad Brandolini, Vater's Artist Relations Director. "When Max and I started talking early in the year, he explained to me the importance of the feel that he was trying to get out of the drumsticks when he played. Kudos to Vater's production manager, Billy Clark, and the guys in our factory, who quickly turned Max's thoughts into a design that perfectly met what he had been searching for. We're thrilled that Max's stadium filling sounds now start with Vater sticks in his hands."
"Such a huge inspiration growing up watching him play. He will forever be one of my favorite drummers!" -Nate Walker [Lit] "Such raw, powerful, positive energy while maintaining an unsurpassed level of integrity and class. Sums him up both on and off stage. He's been such a great influence on my life as a drummer and human being. A true mentor and role model." –Branden Steineckert [Rancid]
"A drummer who's determination, incredible playing and charisma has led an amazing example of how to stand out from behind the kit and grasp many different opportunities in the world of music and show business" -John Fred Young [Black Stone Cherry]
"Watching him play for the first time was a revelation - he was a guy who had all the chops in the world but instead he favored grooving and serving the song. It changed the way I thought about approaching the drums and that's the biggest compliment I can give!" -Eric Slick [Dr. Dog/Adrian Belew Trio]
"He is a pivotal part of his band and a perfect fit for their music. Rock n' Roll's busiest drummer! Period." –Kevin Baldes [Bass player for Lit]
"To me, this drummer signifies the best qualities that any musician would look for, driving the band with a rock solid feel regardless of the musical style!" –James Harrison [Boise State University Drum Line] "His drumming is like a velvet fisted steam engine that can seduce, provoke, and conjure any emotion known to man!!" –Dave Krusen "This man's drumming is legendary and he will no doubt go down in our musical history books as an icon of rock-n-roll!" –George Sluppick [The Chris Robinson Brotherhood] " An MVP in a band full of MVP's. A Marathon Man, a Superhero and one hell of a drummer." –Mike Levesque [Seven Mary Three/Independent] "When I see a drummer go from being a cooperative, solid backbone of one group, to being a fun, outspoken leader of another group in a totally different style, I'm really impressed and humble myself to the guy. This dude does it well." -Sean Winchester [Everclear/Something Bot Metro] "Whether you regard this legendary player as a drummer's drummer or a fan favorite, he is always at the top of the list. His career has spanned decades and he has remained not only relevant but groundbreaking, influential and pioneering. His accolades are many and his accomplishments unmatched. This guy defines taking things to the max in everything he does." –Kenny Livingston [Sugarcult] "The King of the Big Beat." - Modern Drummer Magazine "An American drumming icon. Known by name to even non-drummers. I don't know if it get's any cooler than that!" Jimmy Pemberton [Educator/Kiley Evans/Independent] "The man, the myth, the monster drummer! I've had the pleasure of meeting him and watching him play up close before, and that was amazing. So happy that he's now a part of the Vater family. " –Morgan Rose [Sevendust] "First time I saw him I was mesmerized by the razor sharp precision and execution he had on the drums. His form, charisma, and style is so killin! He is a master of his craft that far exceeds drumming! We are blessed to have him as one of our drumming heroes!" –Mika Fineo "Powerful rock drumming that keeps the beat banging for hours on end…year after year after year!" –Billy Amendola [Modern Drummer Magazine] "This gentleman has impeccable posture at the kit ...he's funny as hell..And swings like he's in a Big Band too..oh, wait...he is!" –Chad Smith [Red Hot Chili Peppers/Chickenfoot] "One of the most iconic and successful drummers in American music history" –Tony Escapa [Ricky Martin/Franco De Vita]

Austin, Texas
This 200 square-foot "backyard" addition to a 1930's central Austin bungalow began with the notion to create a room to accommodate the owner's acquisition of a six-by-twelve-foot painting by artist Michael Tracy. The addition creates a new dining room, remodeled kitchen that connects the addition to the existing living room, and a covered porch in the backyard. The theatrical exuberance of the owner, an actress, is expressed throughout the interior. The dining room, now home to the Tracy painting, takes on the formal qualities of a modern refectory, with an elongated space under a vaulted ceiling terminating at large window that provides a dramatic backdrop for the scene. French doors open to the covered patio and the outdoor living room beyond while a textured concrete fireplace connects the kitchen to the refectory, another refined but striking element that animates the space.

Layered and Luscious: 15 Homemade Lasagnas
In need of some culinary comfort? Then turn on the oven and take a gander at these homemade lasagna recipes, which feature layer upon layer of tender noodles, cheese, sauces, and more. Whatever your lasagna preference, be it traditional, vegetarian, quick and easy, or unconventional, we've got the lasagna recipe to suit.
For more pasta ideas, try our tantalizing collections of linguine recipes, penne pasta recipes, or cheese ravioli recipes.
Traditional Lasagna Bolognese
The bolognese sauce for this cheesy, classic lasagna isn't made with crushed tomatoes, but rather tomato paste, which imparts the sweetness of tomatoes without the soupy texture.
Recipe: Traditional Lasagna Bolognese
Zesty Vegetable Lasagna
Vegetable lasagna's universal appeal and easy preparation make it a great choice for any get-together.
Recipe: Zesty Vegetable Lasagna
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Free-Form Sausage-and-Three-Cheese Lasagna
The judges of the Best Pasta Poll on FoodandWine.com applauded the rusticity of this gooey lasagna, packed with cheese and sausage. The style is called free-form because the pasta can be arranged in different ways for instance, folded over the filling instead of traditionally layered.
Turkey and Veggie Lasagna
This tomato-free lasagna features tender pieces of leftover roast turkey and a heaping helping of fresh vegetables, bound with a light chicken broth-based sauce.
Recipe: Turkey and Veggie Lasagna
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Lasagna with Mushrooms and Lamb Sausage
This gourmet version of a home-style favorite takes a new spin, adding merguez (lamb sausage), oyster and shiitake mushrooms, and truffled pecorino cheese.
Ravioli and Zucchini Lasagna
For a change of pace, we've replaced standard lasagna noodles with cheese-filled ravioli. Let this dish cool for five to 10 minutes before serving to ensure proper slicing.
Recipe: Ravioli and Zucchini Lasagna
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Tomato-Sausage Lasagna
Soaking the noodles in hot tap water, while making the sauce for this hearty sausage lasagna, eliminates the need to boil them.
Recipe: Tomato-Sausage Lasagna
Spinach and Prosciutto Lasagna
This lasagna is fast, thanks to no-boil noodles, frozen spinach, and jarred sauce. Chopped prosciutto adds a rich, savory element, and melted cheese is sure to please all of your dinner guests.
Recipe: Spinach and Prosciutto Lasagna
Family Lasagna
At least one of this bubbly lasagna's variety of cheese-covered veggies carrots, zucchini, Swiss chard will appeal to nonadults. No-boil noodles streamline the prep time.
Recipe: Family Lasagna
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Eggplant Lasagna
A healthier option, this "lasagna" recipe cuts out the noodles altogether and uses fresh summer eggplant instead. Eggplant slices, instead of noodles, plus low-fat cheeses save 212 calories, 4 grams of fat, and 33 carbs per serving.
Recipe: Eggplant Lasagna
Reprinted with permission of Hearst Communications, Inc.
Healthier Meat Lasagna
Transform lasagna with meat sauce from a guilty pleasure into a wholesome meal. Small swap-ins can make a mighty difference: Whole-wheat noodles, low-fat cottage cheese, and lean ground sirloin create a light and delicious baked pasta. A topping of melted mozzarella and Parmesan keeps this dish feeling indulgent.
Recipe: Healthier Meat Lasagna
3-Cheese Lasagna
Three scrumptious cheeses and an array of fresh vegetables make this lasagna equally filling and delicious.

Northern-Style Lasagna

Roasted Butternut Squash Lasagna
"Nana inspired my love of cooking," says Lauren McInnes of Prides Crossing, MA. "Growing up, I was always in the kitchen, and she taught me how to make her famous roasted squash ravioli. Now I rarely have time to make fresh pasta, so I've adapted it into the filling of this easy lasagna."

St. James' Cemetery, opened at the corner of Parliament and Bloor Streets in 1844, is the eternal resting place of many of the prominent families of York and Toronto.

This week I am in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Harvard Art Museums here are rebuilding, and planning new galleries, and have also acquired a new collection of pottery from the Middle East. So they have flown me down here for the week on an all-expenses-paid visit, to look at their Islamic pottery (AD 700-1700) and tell them if it is good (not fake), where it is from, and when it was made.
Getting to and from work and home can be hectic. Most of us use TTC or drive, and in doing so we miss much of what cyclists or pedestrians see clearly every day. Did you know, for example, that a herd of "bunny dogs" romp on the boulevard at Wellington and John? Or that Glenn Gould is amongst us, and invites us to join him on a bench to watch the world go by? Where is Toronto's newest wonder, created in China from 22 tons of stainless steel, and what message does it convey??

One of the more significant obstacles to automotive start-stop systems is how to keep the car comfy with the engine off. Saving fuel is great, but not if the infotainment system, HVAC et al were to shut down at every red light. At the SAE World Congress in Detroit last week, Delphi Automotive introduced a Phase Change Material (PCM) Evaporator that it said will keep start/stop vehicle cabins cooler … Read More

Sphincters are muscles that allow your body to hold in urine. An inflatable artificial (man-made) sphincter is a medical device that keeps urine from leaking when your urinary sphincter no longer works well. When you need to urinate, the cuff of the artificial sphincter can be relaxed so urine can flow out.
Other surgeries to treat urine leakage and incontinence include:
You will have either general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia before the procedure. With general anesthesia, you will be asleep and will not feel pain. With spinal anesthesia, you will be awake but numb from the waist down. You will not feel pain.
An artificial sphincter has three parts:
A surgical cut will be made in one of these areas so that the cuff can be put in place:
Once the artificial sphincter is in place, you will use the pump to empty (deflate) the cuff. Squeezing the pump moves fluid from the cuff to the balloon. When the cuff is empty, your urethra opens so that you can urinate. The cuff will re-inflate on its own in 90 seconds.
Artificial sphincter (AUS) - urinary
Artificial sphincter surgery is done to treat stress incontinence , a leakage of urine that occurs with activities such as walking, lifting, exercising, or even coughing or sneezing.
The procedure is recommended for men who have urine leakage after prostate surgery when other medical or surgical treatments do not work.
Women who have urine leakage most often try other treatment options before having an artificial sphincter placed.
Most of the time, your doctor will recommend drugs and bladder retraining before surgery.
This procedure is most often safe. Ask your doctor about the possible complications.
Risks for this surgery may include:
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, including over-the-counter medications, herbs and supplements that you buy without a prescription.
During the days before the surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Your doctor will test your urine to make sure you do not have a urinary infection before starting your surgery.
You may return from surgery with a catheter in place. This catheter will drain urine from your bladder for a little while. It will be removed before you leave the hospital.
You will not use the artificial sphincter for a while after surgery. This means you will still have urine leakage. Your body tissues need this time to heal.
About 6 weeks after surgery, you will be taught how to use your pump to inflate your artificial sphincter.
You will need to carry a wallet card or wear medical identification that tells health care providers you have an artificial sphincter. The artificial sphincter must be turned off if you need to have a urinary catheter placed.
Women may need to change how they do some activities (such as bicycle riding), since the pump is placed in the labia.
Urinary leakage decreases for many people who have this procedure, but there may still be some leakage. Over time, some or all of the leakage may come back.
There may be a slow wearing away of the urethra tissue under the cuff. This tissue may become spongy. This may make the device less effective. If your incontinence comes back, changes may be made to the device to correct it.

Retro Menu Foods Inspired by Mad Men
Whether it's because of the retro fashion or the boardroom-to-bedroom drama, we can't get enough of Mad Men, which returns to TV this month. Although we observe the show's characters downing classic cocktails more often than sitting down to dinner, food still plays a major part in the historical accuracy of the show, and the series nails 1960s American cuisine when it does feature dining moments. Here's a roundup of some classic dishes the men and women of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce might nibble when they're not too busy stirring up trouble.
Take more trips down memory lane via this collection of retro cocktails or these fun old-timey candies.

The most dramatic trend in the Americas continued to be the use of violence. Killings were reported in Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Venezuela. In many other cases, HRDs survived assassination attempts and faced violent intimidation, including shooting at their offices or homes, or the detonation of explosive devices outside their offices as in Colombia. Throughout the region, uncertainty and insecurity for HRDs remained high. eath threats, judicial harassment, arbitrary detention, defamation, break-ins, and attacks or intimidation of family members were regularly reported.
Despite the ongoing, systemic nature of violations against HRDs, in many countries the statistics of attacks against them were masked by generally-high levels of violence and crime. Attacks were carried out by a variety of actors, including government and other public officials, militias, private security and thugs hired by corporate entities, and criminal groups including transnational narco-trafficking groups.
2013 was a challenging year for indigenous peoples and those defending the rights to land, water and a clean environment, as well as for communities opposing abuses by corporate actors. Front Line Defenders reported on a number of such cases in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Venezuela. In October the campesino community of Pitalito (Colombia) was forcibly and unlawfully evicted from its land. The community has been actively and non-violently struggling to defend their rights to the land since previously being forcibly displaced in June 2010. It established itself as a community of activists by offering support to other groups facing forced evictions and fighting for their land rights. In July, shots were fired outside the home of Yolanda Oquelí Veliz del Cid (Guatemala), the leader of a movement defending community land from the expansion of mining activities in San José del Golfo and San Pedro Ayampuc. Oquelí had survived a previous assassination attempt in 2012, and this latest attack happened just shortly after the killing of HRD Santos Fidel Ajau Suret as he returned from a peaceful sit-in protest against a mining project in La Puya village.
Women continued to be at the forefront of human rights defence and to be at particular risk of harassment, discrimination, stigmatisation, criminalisation and physical and sexual violence. The majority of official statistics of attacks against HRDs do not contain a gender indicator, and violations faced by WHRDs are not given specific attention. As a result, where they exist, protection mechanisms are not often designed with a gender dimension in mind. WHRDs working in defence of sexual and reproductive rights continued to face reprisals for their work supporting others. In Haiti, in August, the home of Malya Villard Apollon was attacked by a group of armed men, who fired gunshots at the gate. This was due to her work to prevent and redress sexual assault, and to care for survivors. She has been receiving threats for a number of years but these threats intensified since she was nominated as a 'CNN Hero' in 2012.
In many countries across the region LGBTI rights defenders were specifically targeted in acts of aggression, harassment and intimidation, and the authorities often failed to recognise them as targeted attacks resulting from their work on behalf of a marginalised community. In Honduras, the offices of the Asociación LGTB Arcoiris were broken into twice in the space of a week in September. In June, in Tegucigalpa, a transgender activist was shot by unknown assailants, another one was severely beaten in August, and the daughter of a leading LGBTI rights defender was kidnapped for several hours. In November, in Haiti, the office of an LGBTI group was broken into by armed individuals who assaulted and threatened its members.
Break-ins and theft or loss of sensitive information have increased in 2013. Cases were reported in Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras and Mexico. Whilst sending out a very clear message of intimidation, the theft of information also greatly hinders the activities of an organisation and puts a number of others at risk. Despite clear indications that the organisations were specifically targeted, because of the type of equipment tampered with or information removed, the authorities all too often treated these incidents as common robberies.
Cases of judicial harassment were reported in Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras and Mexico. Fabricated criminal charges and short-term detentions were widely used to silence HRDs and undermine their credibility. Even when eventually acquitted, their human rights work was hindered through drawn out legal processes. When released on bail pending trial, HRDs often had restrictive, financially challenging and time-consuming conditions attached to their bail. In September, a magistrate in Honduras ordered the pre-trial detention of Berta Cáceres, general coordinator of the Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organisations of Honduras (COPINH), following a hearing on trumped-up charges of usurpation of land, coercion, and allegedly causing more than $3 million in damages to a hydroelectric dam company. Fellow HRDs Aureliano Molina and Tomás Gómez Membreño were ordered to sign in at a police station every 15 days. In Haiti, human rights lawyers found themselves prosecuted due to their work assisting victims of police abuses or exposing corruption.
Other attempts to discredit HRDs occurred through well-defined strategies of defamation and stigmatisation. Labelling HRDs as traitors and terrorists or accusing them of using violence serves to diminish support for that person's work. Stigmatisation and attacks on reputation were reported in Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Venezuela. In April, in Venezuela, the Minister for Information and Communication initiated a smear campaign on Twitter against the NGO Programme for Education and Action on Human Rights (PROVEA). In October, media outlets in Mexico published statements made by a number of government officials denigrating and discrediting the work of human rights lawyer Lucha Castro Rodriguez . In Guatemala, a national newspaper regularly published supplements denouncing the activities of environmental rights defenders, including 2009 Front Line Defenders Award winner Dr Yuri Melini. HRDs were accused of being troublemakers funded from outside the country to undermine economic development and make money for themselves.
While the few existing examples of protection programmes designed specifically for HRDs are found in this region, it is regrettable that no significant progress was recorded regarding their effective implementation. Despite an encouraging start, the protection programme in Mexico, legally established in 2012, remains non-operational. In Brazil, the National Protection Programme provided assistance to several HRDs at risk. However, despite the commitment of its staff, major flaws remain with regard to the resources at its disposal, its reach and geographical scope.
HRDs based in North America also faced challenges. Front Line Defenders received reports of electronic surveillance, including the monitoring of comments posted on social networking sites, and of targeted funding cuts against HRDs in Canada. In the United States, there were reports of police harassment and intimidation as well as arson attacks against grassroots organisations working on issues such as sex work, drug policy and reproductive rights.

Looting seems to grow into a frenzy when big store are broken into, and everyone and his brother, who would never normally loot, just seem to all joint in. New Orleans was shameful, and I saw the same thing in the Los Angeles riots.
Gougers during the earthquake were despicable, and they said they would take action on them, however I do not think they ever did. Supply and demand I guess you have to call it, but how they can sleep at night is between them and God I guess. Where have our moral disappeared to in this age, and God help us if we really are in a state of anarchy.

FORTUNE -- "It's hard to believe, but it seems the SEC has managed to anger the public and the media again. Fox Business has reported that the oft-maligned agency has put in place a new rule that will stop the public, usually journalists, from accessing certain SEC-investigative information using the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA.
Alarm bells are ringing loudly, with many complaints centering on the idea that the SEC has enforced this change solely to avoid criticism stemming from its failed efforts to catch the Madoff and Stanford frauds."
The above is some of CNN's response to the SEC's greater exemption from the FOIA as granted by the recent financial reform law. It goes on to say the real problem has to do with making certain information public after the SEC has announced investigation into a financial entity. Apparently that has been a problem in the past with investors left holding the bag when the SEC hasn't made public the information that could have warned them of possible problems with their investment.
http://online.wsj.com/article/NA_WSJ_PU ... 09368.html
WASHINGTON—"A provision in the new financial-regulation law that limits public access to documents collected by the Securities and Exchange Commission is stoking a debate over the proper level of disclosure.
The SEC says the provision, which applies to information it gathers from brokers and investment advisers, will help it get cooperation from the industry and aid examiners in pursuing wrongdoers. Some outside lawyers say that if the restriction is applied too widely it could make it harder for the public to keep tabs on an agency that has flubbed big cases such as Bernard Madoff's multibillion-dollar fraud."
The above is what a less positive position by the Wall Street Journal(owned by the powerful media baron Mr. Murdoch himself; Thanks rath ) has to say about the new exemptions. It seems the first two paragraphs by both publications are overly similar, but maybe coincidence, doesn't matter. California Rep. Darrell Issa introduced legislation to strike the exemption from disclosing any records related to "surveillance, risk assessments, or other regulatory and oversight activities"("other regulatory and oversight activities" , geez just go on and say 'any activity the trustworthy beauracrats at the SEC deem secretive') from the new law on July 29th. Since then, ...
"House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank told Fox Business Network on Tuesday that "the language appeared to be, when you looked at it carefully, broader than it was intended to be."
A bipartisan group of four senators introduced legislation on Aug. 5 to repeal the SEC exemption. The ranking Republican member of the House Oversight Committee, Darrell Issa, introduced similar legislation on July 29."
Oh, really Senator Frank? One would think the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee looked at it carefully already. It's a virtual certainty that someone out here busting their humps to help provide the grease that makes the whole thing run would have. It's exactly insights like this that futher reinforce the suspicion by many people of America that DC is mired in inmorallity, greed, and corruption. Everybody, PLEASE get involved now with the elections at your local and state level. Be prepared for November
http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voi ... monetizing
"The Federal Reserve, in announcing the results of this week's meeting of the Open Market Committee, surprised the market by revealing it will begin purchasing US Treasury notes and bonds with the principal income it receives from its vast holdings of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage securities. This practice - wherein the Fed buys up US government securities and injects cash into the public market as payment for these securities - is a form of monetizing the debt...
...At the least, we can say we are no longer in that environment in the spring when Fed governors were talking seriously about how they were going to remove all their monetary stimulus now that the economy has recovered. Instead, we are witnessing yet another round of monetary stimulus, a recognition by the Fed that their previous efforts have failed to ignite a sustainable recovery."
Which is a direct 180 from what Fed chair Ben Bernanke told Congress in February...
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... n-us-debt/
"With uncharacteristic bluntness, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke warned Congress on Wednesday that the United States could soon face a debt crisis like the one in Greece, and declared that the central bank will not help legislators by printing money to pay for the ballooning federal debt...
..."We're not going to monetize the debt," Mr. Bernanke declared flatly, stressing that Congress needs to start making plans to bring down the deficit to avoid such a dangerous dilemma for the Fed."
Six months later and the chairman of the Federal Reserve has to break out his Grey Poupon and chow down. Eerily similar to the situation in the late 1990's when Brooksley Born, then head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC], tried to warn then Fed chair Alan Greenspan of the imminent need to regulate the 'secretive, multitrillion dollar, derivatives market, whose crash helped trigger the financial collaspe in the fall of 2008'. "They were totally opposed to it,"Born says. "That puzzled me. What was it that was in this market that had to be hidden?"
and the beat goes on... definately more on this later...

EDIT: it wasn't just crab grass - we had grubs too.
Anywho, lawn is in godawful shape right now. I put grub stuff down in the fall and hopefully that did the job. I don't see any birds picking at the grass like I used to. This weekend I am going to rake up all the dead grass in the front and maybe dig down 3-4 inches into the loam and wheelbarrow it all out back. Then hopefully get some new loam delivered next weekend. I have no idea how much to order though.
Also I bit the bullet and plunked down $2500 for the irrigation plus another $450 in plumbing work. They are coming Tuesday. When thats all done I have to repair the rotting fence in the backyard.

T.D.writes: I invested in carbon credits that I bought from MH Carbon Limited, after the company told me that businesses buy these credits. Mine were supposed to be sold in October.
When October came I was told that while I stood to make a 20 per cent profit, if I waited until November this would rise to 25 per cent. It seemed sensible to wait, but then in November, MH Carbon told me no one was buying.
The company added that in April the Government would be introducing legislation that would force businesses to buy carbon credits or face heavy fines. I invested all my savings, so now I am extremely worried.
I have yet to see any ordinary investor make a penny from trading in carbon credits, and I am afraid you are not going to be the first – though I do have some good news for you.
MH Carbon, based in the City of London, is run by its sole director Jeffrey Razaq, so I asked him whether it was true you were first told your credits were showing a 20 per cent profit, with a promise of more to come, yet suddenly they could not be sold at all.
He told me he had bought the company on November 14 last year, and that the broker who dealt with you had already left by then. There was no record of what you had been told, he said.
Well, I asked, what about the idea that the Government was going to force companies to buy carbon credits from investors like you? Razaq came up with an announcement made last June, but he had the honesty to admit that all this does is make major companies report their greenhouse gas emissions. By no stretch of the imagination does it force them to buy credits.
