- As Colorado wildfires continue to worsen, only moderate laws proposed
The Fremont County Tourism Council agreed Tuesday to spend $10,000 in print and digital advertising and $27,000 on television and Internet, the Canon City Daily Record reported (http://goo.gl/BC7Ay ).
Officials want to spread the message that the area is open. The area has long attracted tourists with its popular railroad and historic bridge.
The wildfire burned 5 square miles and temporarily halted the Royal Gorge Route Railroad that runs 22 miles round-trip from Canon City to Parkdale and passes Colorado's iconic Royal Gorge.
The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park lost 48 of its 52 buildings in the blaze. Its suspension bridge 955 feet above the Arkansas River suffered some fire damage and is still up. However, the park will be closed until fall because of damage from the fire that started on June 11.
The newspaper received the $10,000 for the ad campaign. Local television and media companies received the remainder of the advertising money.
Karl Wurzbach, general manager of Canon City Daily Record Media, said the print and digital campaign is expected to reach 3.5 million people, with ads on Yahoo and the paper's sister publications, which include The Denver Post and Boulder Daily Camera.
The tourism campaign also is intended to persuade people to stay overnight. Lodging occupancy is down 40 to 50 percent, according to Lloyd Harwood, a member of the Fremont County Tourism Council and manager of Americas Best Value Inn and Suites in Canon City.
Money for the tourism campaign came from organizations including Sunflower Bank, the El Pomar Foundation and High Country Bank. Officials hope to start the campaign within a week.

WASHINGTON – No one wants to hear it, but women may want to heed it: Give up ice cream.
A new study published in Thursday's Journal of the National Cancer Institute finds breast cancer survivors who ate even one serving of a high-fat dairy product a day were at a 49 percent higher risk of dying from breast cancer compared with those who eat little or no high-fat dairy, Reuters reports.
According to the study, low-fat dairy wasn't related to a high mortality rate after a breast cancer diagnosis.
Additionally, those eating high-fat dairy had a 64 percent higher risk of dying from any cause compared with the other group.
Nearly 1,900 women took part in the study that lasted almost 12 years.
"A total of 349 women had a recurrence and 372 died during a median follow-up of 11.8 years, with 189 deaths from breast cancer," says the abstract version of the study.

The INL budget request is formulated to support the Administration's comprehensive strategy for combating the global threat of narcotics and organized crime. While attacking the core targets, it emphasizes the need to strengthen host nation capabilities through institution building so that key countries can bolster their own effectiveness in fighting international drug trafficking and crime. The budget request reflects a long-term commitment to attack these problems globally. It underscores the need to create competent and honest counternarcotics and anticrime forces in countries where laws and institutions are weak, and it promotes more effective action in nations where motivated and capable enforcement organizations are hampered by a lack of public awareness and political will.
The Congressional Budget Justification now is known as the Program and Budget Guide.

Simple and effective with lots of room for improvisation of story. Nice job.
This was for a quick one day adventure for entry level players. I was using http://www.habitualindolence.net/masterplan/ for running the game so I layed this out with each encounter on a separate layer. This worked very well with custom imported maps.
The plot was the typical someone has been kidnapping young adult women in the town, the clues lead to the basement of a building (this map) where it turns out to be a dark wizard who is performing all kinds of experiments on them. Before the party members can finish off the mage in the final room, he escapes through the portal with one of the women setting up the quest to rescue the Barron's daughter by chasing a mage throughout the known world.
The blocks in the second room are rubble from the building above, which collapsed at an earlier encounter. The third room (after the first long hallway) was the mages bedroom and had a secret door behind the bookshelf (not shown).
Simple and effective with lots of room for improvisation of story. Nice job.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Hmpf.. I was really looking forward to playing Archeage.. 2 years ago.
I hate, that we always get kind of already outdated games (looking at you BnS - if you'll ever reach us..)
I'll give it a go anyway (will post IGN when I'm ingame).
An english patch would be awefully nice, but 20€ is obnoxious.
About Seyas sig: Nice pics, but I can't believe, that this is allowed.
Anyway.. get Adblock Plus, right click the images and "block" --> done.

While cupcakes will always hold a special place in my heart, the newest trend in sweet treats these days is whoopee pies. Yessiree folks, whoopie pies are hot, hot, hot! And, it's no surprise either. What's not to love about a creamy, cloud-like filling sandwiched between two moist and tender disks of cake?
The origin of the whoopie pie is a subject for debate. It is claimed to have been invented in both New England and Pennsylvania Dutch country, depending upon whom you ask. The most likely scenario is that Amish groups migrating to Maine in the early 20th century brought the whoopie pie to the area with them. According to some food historians, Amish housewives would bake these desserts out of leftover cake batter and slip them in their husbands' lunch pails. When the men would find the treats in their lunch, they would shout "Whoopie!". Wherever they came from, whoopee pies have become a very popular and much loved snack food all over the country. read more >>

Trilobite Olenoides erratus. Source: Mark A.Wilson A fossil is the preserved remain of a lifeform that lived in prehistoric times. Most commonly fossils are mineralized parts or a whole organism which is no longer alive. In other cases the fossil may contain actual remains of the dead organism; in particular, DNA may be preserved over long periods of time under the right conditions, since DNA is fundamentally an inanimate molecule. While the most familiar fossils are those derived from animals and plants including such exotic species as dinosaurs and woolly mammoths, there are also fossils from ancient bacteria.
There are several methods of fossil formation including re-crystallization, permineralization, compression, molding and entombment. Examination of fossils was the earliest technique of palaeoentology, the study of ancient lifeforms, and it continues as the companion of molecular biology, to be key in the elucidation of phylogenies (ancestral relationships of species). The earliest animal fossils date from the Cambrian Period, approximately 540 million years before present, although some bacterial fossils exist from at least two billion years before present.
Process of formation
Most fossils are the result of sedimentary rock formation where coverage of the original organism occurred quickly; preservation and mineralization is encouraged by anoxic (oxygen deprived) conditions, where decompostion was not able to occur rapidly upon death of the subject. Body parts most readily preserved are teeth and bony animal parts and the chitonous elements of plants, which elements are most resistive to decay, and thus have more time to enter their preserved state.

One of the simplest processes for fossil formation is the phenomenon of re-crystalization. This is an easily understood process, whereby substances such as teeth and bone, which begin with a high mineral content, have their chemicals replaced by a new crystalline lattice. In a number of instances, mineral replacement of the original body part transpires so gradually that microstructural features are conserved even though a complete transformation of the original organism's material occurs. A shell is termed recrystallized when the original skeletal compounds are still present but in a different crystal form, as in a transition form aragonite to calcite. The process of re-crystallization is often termed replacement.
Living organisms ordinarily contain large amounts of volume that is filled with water or gases. When an organism is covered with sediment, those aqueous and gaseous portions of the individual may be replaced with mineral rich water from an aquifer or surface water body. This process is termed permineralization, and often is best viewed as a replacement phenomenon at the cellular level. Fine grained or small scale permineralization produces very detailed fossil specimens. For permineralization to occur, it is essential for the organism to become covered by sediment rapidly upon death, before significant decay has set in. In ideal cases of preservation, individual cell walls can be effectively fossilized, producing an incredible level of microscopic preservation.
Compression fossils, most often exemplified by planar plant forms such as leaves or ferns, result from chemical reduction of complex organic molecules that comprise biotic tissues. The fossil actually preserves original organism material, but in a geochemically altered state. In many cases the preserved fossil is nothing but a thin carbonaceous film.

Such a chemical change is a manifestation of diagenesis, the transformation of sediment after its original deposition. In some cases DNA may effectively be extracted from compression fossils.
Internal or external mold
In some cases the entire organism may vanish, but an exterior mold will be made by sedimentary rock encasing the original remains of the organism which has been completely dissolved or destroyed. This casting results in a sculptured cavity within the rock, with the exterior three dimensional outline of the original organism's exterior; the product of this process is termed an external mold. If this hole is subsequently filled with different minerals, it is a cast and called an internal mold. A common example of this latter type of mold is a bivalve mollusc.
Ant entombed in Baltic Amber. Souce: Anders L.Damgaard
In some cases exceptional preservation may occur by a relatively rapid fatal trapping and encasing of a live organism with (usually) an organic substance such as amber or tar. Some of these circumstances create fossils of unusual life-pose forms, and many of these instances provide substantial detail of the subjects. For example, recent research using crystallography has yielded amazing structural detail of the morphology of long extinct insects that were trapped in amber.
Bioimmuration is a form of fossilization whereby a skeletal organism envelopes or subsumes another living creature, preserving the latter, or its mold, within the skeleton. Most typically this process occurs with a sessile skeletal animal, such as a bryozoan or an oyster, which grows along a substrate that covers other sessile encrusting organisms. Frequently the bioimmured organism is soft-bodied and is thus conserved in negative relief in an external mold form. There are also cases where an organism settles on top of a living skeletal organism which grows upwards, preserving the settler within its skeleton. Most of the examples of bioimmuration are from the fossil record of the Ordovician Period.
Fossil record
The geological record and fossil records are respectively the prehistoric sequence of events for rocks and organisms. In the 19th century early days of research in these fields age of rocks was imputed from the best estimates of the age of the fossil organisms found entrained within those rocks.
The fossil record and flora and faunal succession form the basis of biostratigraphy, the science of determining the age of rocks based on the fossils they contain. For the earliest years of geological study, biostratigraphy and superposition were the chief methods of assigning the relative age of rocks. The geologic time scale was first developed based on the relative ages of rock strata as determined by pioneering paleontologists.
Since the early 1900s, absolute dating methods, including radiometric dating (including potassium-argon argon/argon and uranium-lead dating techniques were applied. In the case of young fossils, carbon-14 dating has been applied to verify the relative ages obtained by fossils and to provide absolute ages for many fossils. Radiometric dating has shown that the earliest known stromatolites, or bacterial fossils, are more than 3.4 billion years old.
Since the close of the 20th century new techniques in molcular biollogy using DNA marker techniques have allowed great progress to be made in defining phylogenetic trees, which illustrate the lineage of plant and animal families. These techniques can also use regression techniques to establish reasonable estimates of the absolute timelines of common parentage of biotic families.
Earliest fossils

The most ancient fossils are bacterial colonies constructed from sedimentary layers of rock; these fossils are termed stromatolite. Based on studies of living stromatolites it has been ascertained that the formation of stromatolitic fossils was biogenetically mediated by microorganism mats via sediment entrapment. However, abiotic mechanisms for stromatolitic growth are also known, leading to a decades-long scientific debate regarding biogenesis of certain formations, especially those from the lower to middle Archaean eon.
Stromatolites from the late Archaean through the middle Proterozoic eon were chiefly formed by massive colonies of cyanobacteria, and that the oxygen byproduct of their photosynthetic metabolism first resulted in earth's massive banded iron formations and subsequently oxygenated Earth's atmosphere.
History of fossil studies
Georges Cuvier, French zoologist (1769-1832)
The Greek scientist Aristotle observed that fossilized shells were previously living organisms, constituting the first observational recognition of the relationship of a time relationship between earlier living organisms and their fossilized remnants. In the pre-Darwinian era of the 18th century English geologist William Smith noticed that rocks of varying ages and origins preserved different fossil assemblages, which succeeded in a systematic sequence. He was the first to state that rocks from distant locations may be correlated based on the fossils they contained, and he termed this the principle of faunal succession.
Smith expressed no awareness of biological evolution, and he did not speculate why faunal succession occurred. His contemporary Lord Monboddo, in nearby Scotland, was expressing a clear recognition of evolutionary sequences, but the two are not known to have communicated. Biological evolution would later explains faunal and floral succession exists: as different organisms evolve, change and go extinct, they leave behind fossils. Faunal succession was one of the chief pieces of evidence cited by Darwin that natural selection had occurred. Georges Cuvier in 1796 noted that the majority of the animal fossils he examined were remains of species that had become extinct. It was not until the era of Charles Darwin and his contemporaries that a clearly stated link existed with the hierarchical tree of life and the fossil record.

COLUMBUS -- After spending nearly 15 years in prison, former Akron police captain Doug Prade went down to Columbus for his first full day of freedom.
He went to repay a debt of gratitude and a chance to meet other prisoners already freed by DNA evidence.
WKYC's Tom Beres was with Prade in Columbus.
Prade went to the Columbus Dispatch newspaper to meet reporter Mike Wagner. Wagner did the bulk of the work on stories about issues with Ohio's DNA laws and testing.
Prade is the fifth prisoner released because of the newspaper's work in conjunction with the Innocence Project.
"In no uncertain terms, I don't think I would be here were it not for the efforts of the Dispatch," Prade said.
His lawyers will not let him talk about the murder case involving his ex-wife because he may be re-tried.
But Prade told WKYC's Tom Beres that "anyone who wants justice should want the real killer caught."
Wearing the only dress clothes in his closet, Prade left the newspaper, saying he was going to buy some new clothes and try to get a driver's license.

Real estate sales in 2011: The economic recession seems to be over
The National Land Survey (NLS) has issued the Real estate purchase price statistics for 2011. The statistics show that in the real estate business the economic recession seems to be over. The worst period of the recession occurred at the beginning of 2009. Since then the business has clearly picked up. In 2011, a total of 68 700 purchases of real estate were made, which equals the number of purchases made in 2010. The sum of money used on real estate amounted to 8.1 billion euros.

Meet others interested in all aspects of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Gather to discuss Development, Standards, Networks, Marketing, Promotion and Business opportunities using AWS. Open to anyone interested in learning more about Amazon Web Services!
And now for some details...
Upcoming Scheduled Meetups: In general we meet on once a month, from 6:30-9pm, with 6:30-7pm for networking and food.
Attendance: We usually have in attendance approx. 30-60+ depending on location and topic - and we normally hold these Meetups in the Boston area - however, we are branching out to other areas/facilities. Our attendees are generally in the middle ground between novice and expert, with many in the dev/ops space.
Presentations: If you wish to present, contact the moderator at email@example.com. Suggest a topic and an upcoming meeting(s) you would be available to present, then provide an abstract of the presentation (title and descriptive info) and a bit about the presenter (brief bio, just a few words). We generally have 2-3 presentations/presenters per Meetup without repetition from recent past meetups - there is flexibility here. Also, our attendees are looking for technical depth and NOT a sales pitch - so please keep this in mind when proposing and creating your presentation. It's important that speakers speak loud and clear, in the event a PA system is not available. Also, when questions are asked, the presenter should repeat the question so that all can hear and understand the context of the answer.
Presentation - Slides: Usually there are requests for slides after a presentation. Your best bet is to post a link to slides as a comment to the applicable Meetup page. Any comments go to the entire group.
Sponsorship: A sponsor has their logo posted on our Meetup site with promotional statements, and is provided time during the Meetup to address attendees. Please see this link for examples: http://www.meetup.com/The-Boston-Amazon-Web...- Meetup-Group/sponsors/
Sponsorship - Food/Drink: We really appreciate our food sponsors and provide them extra time in self-promotion. Food and drink selection is up to the sponsor. Usually a mixed assortment of pizza and salad works well - but this is up to the sponsor. Pretty simple fare for this crowd - and usually no alcohol (but optional if the venue allows). Food is consumed as people arrive and mingle, and we usually get started with the presentations by 7pm.
Sponsorship - Location: We are open to a variety of locations. Minimum requirements include a facility that can host approx. 60 attendees, with projector and screen available. The only time we have needed amplification is when the meeting area has significant background noise (like certain climate control systems, or open environments where sound does not carry well). The facility should support groups who allow food and drink on premise. Please specify if alcohol is Not permitted, and/or if there are drinks/snacks or benefits that the facility supplies beyond the space hosting. Usually, attendance requires RSVP for security check-in (if required). The host location should post signage to make it very clear where attendees need to go for the meetup. Please supply any special instructions with regard to directions, parking, security check-in, etc. - these will be posted on the Meetup site.
Sponsorship - Other Items: There are other forms of sponsorship available, including supplying swag, offering door prizes for info cards being filled out, and covering the Meetup site hosting fees. Please reach out to the moderator for further details and arrangements.
Promotion of Other Events: We receive many requests to post outside events, functions, positions, and other items to the Meetup group. Members have provided direct feedback that they do Not want any sales presentations or unrelated solicitations. So, we keep it simple, stay focused on the purpose of this Meetup, and provide opportunities for companies to sponsor or present, and make announcements during the Meetup. In addition, comments can be posted to any of the scheduled Meetup pages on the Meetup site. These comments go out to the entire membership.
Attendee List: We are often asked about providing presenters and sponsors the attendee list. Unfortunately, most Meetup registrants use nicknames, and emails are not supplied to presenters/sponsors. However, presenters/sponsors can post to the Meetup site, commenting on the particular meeting page, which goes out to the entire group. In the comments you can indicate positive follow-up comments, offer slides, and drive response to another web link where more info can be gathered from attendees.
Reaching Mark Annati, the group moderator: Emails to Mark should contain the word 'meetup'. Contact: Mark Annati, VP of IT, Extreme Reach, Inc., firstname.lastname@example.com

White Stallionz
this wiki
The White Stallionz is a homosexual white-supremacist outlaw motorcycle club in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, located out of the White Stallionz Bar in Little Haiti. They aren't a major gang like Mitch Baker's biker gang, and don't appear in the game outside of the mission The Bum Deal. Their only turf is their bar, the White Stallionz Bar.
Victor and Lance Vance stumble onto this gang when Bryan Forbes, an undercover DEA Agent, claims a member of the Stallionz has information about a large shipment of cocaine coming into Vice City. Apparently, Forbes was lying about the Stallionz' involvement, and the Vance brothers have to fight their way out of the bar when the White Stallionz threaten to rape them both. The Stallionz have no involvement with the local Vice City Bikers and should not be confused with this separate biker gang.
Throughout their bar are banners that appear to be a mockery of neo-nazi symbols (two lightning bolts surrounding a female gender symbol that has the circle replaced with a white-power fist, a symbol also found on the White Stallionz' t-shirts), with the dates 1969 and 1984 and a slogan, "Stand Proud Together." Interestingly the same banners can be found in Stonewall J's gunshop.
They may be based on the biker gang that hangs out at the Blue Oyster bar in the Police Academy films as they are also homosexual.
What's supposed to be the bathrooms, have a normal men sign in one door while in the other one there's a sign with two men,which can be a more "private" part of the club.

The Madera Police Department will conduct a drivers checkpoint with city limits between the hours of 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. Saturday.
Officers will check motorists for signs of intoxication or drug impairment as well as proper licensing. When possible, specially trained officers will be on hand to evaluate suspects.
Drivers caught driving while under the influence can expect jail, license suspension and insurance hikes as well as fines, fees, DUI classes and other expenses that can exceed $10,000, according to Sgt. Johnnie Smith of the Madera Police Department.
"Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed two lives and resulted in 45 injury crashes harming 45 of our friends and neighbors," said Smith...

The games will be distributed to film companies, museums and the general public.
According to city documents, 1,377 games were found, among them were 171 E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial titles, 190 Centipedes, 116 Defenders, 59 Missile Commands, 99 Warlords, 53 Asteroids and several other titles and Atari consoles.
"We have completed an inventory, there are over 60 game titles there and over 1,300 game came out," Joe Lewandowski, of Operation Consultants, told the commission on Tuesday.
Lewandowski presented the first draft of a disbursement plan to the commission and noted that more details have to be determine but wanted to move forward with giving games to museums, FUEL Industries and Lightbox, local and national museums, and the public.
He said he wanted all local vendors involved with the excavation to get paid before the two companies received their deposit and games back from the city.
"Just to dig that hole was over $50,000," Lewandowski said. "Engineering was over $12,000, landfill was $8,000 because none of that garbage can go back into the hole. It all had to be sent to Otero-Greentree (Regional Landfill). The hauling cost, three of the haulers, we used Nelson, Southwest and Greentree, that was over $10,000 in hauling. Mesa Verde over $20,000 of digging and the equipment."
He recommended the city give more than just the required 17 E.T. games to the companies since they spent over $50,000 for the dig.
In a distribution plan, Lewandowski recommended giving FUEL Industries and Light Box 52 games from 14 different games titles.
"I think that would be a good gesture," he said. "The publicity we are getting from this, Microsoft is the one funding this, it is not a small-time operation."
However, Lewandowski also requested the city give the two companies an even 100 games to use for publicity and to give to other people and officials with Microsoft.
He said the Atari documentary will premiere at Comic-Con in July.
Lewandowski said the value of the games is still unknown.
"What they are worth? I really don't know," he said. "I know people all over the place are asking for it, we read the blogs they are asking 'how can I get one?' We have had people make offers and try to get them from us. That will have to be determined in the near future."
Lewandowski recommended the city make five display boxes to give to museums.
Through informal contact that the Smithsonian Institution would like to have a set of items to display from the dig, he said.
Lewandowski said the New Mexico Museum of Space History, Tularosa Basin Historical Society and possibly the Plaza Museum, once it is open, would all like to have items to display plus two more displays for other museums.
"Those would be like floater boxes at museum requests," he said. "To do something like that you would loan those out and get it back."
Division Director at the New Mexico Museum of Space History, Chris Orwoll, suggested items be appraised and the city should look at how they will distribute the Atari items
Orwoll also said he was willing to offer the museum's help in curating display boxes and advising with how to treat the Atari artifacts.
He said those services would require a memorandum of understanding between the museum and the city, which the commission agreed to create.
"The museum obviously would like some small portion of this to put on display," Orwoll said. "In what is normally called in the museum industry 'popular culture.' In the Smithsonian's case, Dr. Margaret Weitekamp, is the curator for that, and they are interested."
In the disbursement plan, Lewandowski recommended the city keep a few items to give out as possible commemorative awards and the rest would be sold to the public with a letter of authenticity and a serial ID tag from the city.
He estimates the city can sell between 600 and 700 items to the public.
Lewandowski said the city can determine the best way to give Atari items to the public and museums then figure out the best way to distribute the items at a later time but wanted to begin the process.
"If we run out, there are 790,000 more in that hole out there now that we know where they are at," he said. "But they are worth more. The less there is — that is why we didn't keep going."

In Christopher Kremmer's book, The Carpet Wars, he writes this about Afghanistan:
"A landscape might be denuded, a human settlement abandoned or lost, but always, just beaneath the ground lies history of preposterous grandeur. . . They are everywhere, these individuals of undaunted humankind, irrepressibly optimistic and proud."
The beautiful city of Herat has been inhabited for over two millennia and has been fought over by invaders from Alexander the Great to the Soviets which picked Herat as one of their first battlefields.
When I photographed there, it looked like Dresden after World War II. But the war with the Soviet Union had ended by the late 1980's, and families had started to return from Iran and other countries to rebuild their homes.
Herat has always been considered to be a cultural center where the arts, literature, architecture, and knowledge flourish. Herat is a treasure trove of ancient forts, citadels, mosques, and minarets.
It is a privilege to have an exhibition of my photographs going on now at the Charhar Suq Cistern in Herat. The Aga Khan Foundation is rebuilding the huge caravanserai in Herat which has four big branches. Right in the intersection is the place called the Charhar Suq cistern.
During the first week, more than 1,800 people visited the exhibit along with 800 local high school students field trips organized by the Afghan ogranization, Education Support Organization.

London Dungeon fright tests find French and Italians are biggest scaredy cats
11:22 07 June 2012
© Mikael Buck
Who would have thought it – the French and Italians have been revealed as the world's biggest scaredy cats following research by the one of London's scariest attractions.
London Dungeon biggest scaredy cat rankings:
1. France
2. Italy
3. Brazil
4. England
5. Scotland
6. Sweden
7. India
8. Hungary
10. Germany
The London Dungeon wanted to see how different nationalities react to its gruesome shows so it commissioned 'thrill engineer' Professor Brendan Walker to conduct tests into the 'scare thresholds' of visitors and come up with top 10 rankings.
Stimuli such as live rats and maggot-infested meat were used to study people's responses, including heart rate, sweat levels and facial expressions.
At the end of the research Prof Walker and his team concluded the French were easiest to frighten followed by the Italians and Brazilians.
Next came the English and Scots, with Americans and Germans proving to be much harder to scare.
Prof Walker said: "Most of the ratings are in keeping with what one might expect in terms of predicted national responses but there are some curve balls in there.
"I would certainly have anticipated that France, Italy and Brazil would come high up the list of most 'scared', but am surprised at some of the Anglo countries' (USA, England and Scotland) relative 'squeamishness' – hardly in keeping with the stereotypes of the unshakeable British bulldog or Scotland the brave."
The attraction is now using Prof Walker's research and its own observations to classify its shows by nationality, with ratings reflecting cultural sensibilities as opposed to the more commonplace age classifications given for films and games.
London Dungeon general manager Ben Sweet said: "The results have enabled us to introduce an international rating system across our shows so guests know what level of scare they are in for.
"It will also be very useful for our team of actors, enabling them to ramp up or tone down the experience for different groups."

Topic Overview
What is prostatitis?
Prostatitis is swelling or infection of the prostate gland. It often hurts. The prostate gland sits just below a man's bladder and makes part of the fluid for semen. In young men, the prostate is about the size of a walnut. It usually grows larger as you grow older.
There are several types of prostatitis. They vary based on how long a man has had the problem and what kind of symptoms he has.
What causes prostatitis?
Sometimes prostatitis is caused by bacteria, but often the cause is not known.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of long-term (chronic) prostatitis are often mild and start slowly over weeks or months. They may include:
- An urge to urinate often. But you may pass only small amounts of urine.
- A burning pain when you urinate.
- A problem starting the urine stream, urinating in waves rather than in a steady stream, urine flow that is weaker than normal, and dribbling after urinating.
- Waking up at night to urinate often.
- A feeling of not completely emptying your bladder.
- Pain in your lower back, in the area between the testicles and anus, in the lower belly or upper thighs, or above the pubic area. Pain may be worse during a bowel movement.
- Some pain during or after ejaculation.
- Pain in the tip of your penis.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis are the same, but they start suddenly and are severe. They may also include a fever and chills.
Some men may have no symptoms.
How is prostatitis diagnosed?
A doctor can often tell if you have prostatitis by asking about your symptoms and past health. He or she will also do a physical exam, including a digital rectal exam. In this test, the doctor puts a gloved, lubricated finger in your rectum to feel your prostate. You may also need blood and urine tests to find out which type of prostatitis you have or to look for another cause of your problems.
How is it treated?
Prostatitis caused by bacteria is treated with antibiotics and self-care.
Home treatment includes drinking plenty of fluids and getting lots of rest. Taking over-the-counter pain relievers can also help.
Your doctor may prescribe medicine to control pain and reduce swelling. He or she may also prescribe medicine to soften your stool and relax your bladder muscles.
Surgery is rarely used to treat prostatitis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Learning about prostatitis:
Being diagnosed:
Getting treatment:
Most men with prostatitis have chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory or noninflammatory. The cause of this type of prostatitis is not known.
About 1 out of 10 men have prostatitis caused by bacteria.
Acute prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis
Bacteria infecting the prostate cause acute prostatitis and chronic bacterial prostatitis. Bacteria most likely enter the prostate by:
- Traveling through the urethra.
- Being present in the urine because of a bladder infection.
- Being introduced through the use of a urinary catheter.
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory (nonbacterial prostatitis)
The specific cause of chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory, is usually not known. But doctors believe the possible causes include:
- Blocked urine flow.
- Abnormal movement of urine and prostate secretions into the prostate.
- Microorganisms that may infect the prostate. If they are present, they usually are not detectable in the urine.
- The immune system attacking the prostate (autoimmune disease).
- Chemicals normally found in the urine, such as uric acid, which may get into the prostate and cause irritation.
- Abnormal nerve or muscle function.
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, noninflammatory (prostatodynia)
The causes of chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, noninflammatory, may be the same as those for chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory. Some doctors think that a combination of things—including nervous system problems and strained pelvic floor muscles—causes the pain. Emotional problems and anxiety can make the pain worse.
The symptoms are similar for all forms of prostatitis, with the exception of acute prostatitis.
Symptoms of the chronic forms of prostatitis, including chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory and noninflammatory, may include:
- A frequent urge to urinate, although you may pass only small amounts of urine.
- A burning sensation when urinating (dysuria).
- Difficulty starting urination, interrupted flow (urinating in waves rather than a steady stream), weaker-than-normal urine flow, and dribbling after urinating.
- Excessive urinating at night (nocturia).
- A sensation of not completely emptying the bladder.
- Pain or discomfort in the lower back, in the area between the testicles and anus, in the lower abdomen or upper thighs, or above the pubic area. Pain may become worse during a bowel movement.
- Pain or vague discomfort during or after ejaculation.
- Pain in the tip of the penis.
With acute prostatitis, symptoms are severe, come on suddenly, and include fever and chills. Signs of chronic bacterial prostatitis may be milder and come on suddenly or gradually over weeks or months, and the symptoms may come and go. Symptoms alone cannot be used to determine the type of prostatitis you have.
Other conditions, such as a bladder infection or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can cause symptoms similar to those of prostatitis.
What Happens
Prostatitis, especially if it continues for a long time, can cause stress, anxiety, and depression.
Acute prostatitis
Men with acute prostatitis have severe pain and fever. Most men recover fully when treated with antibiotics. Delaying treatment increases the risk of complications, such as sepsis or an abscess in the prostate.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis
Chronic bacterial prostatitis can be difficult to treat, because some medicines have a hard time reaching the prostate.
Men with chronic bacterial prostatitis commonly have repeated urinary tract infections. The infection may spread to the epididymis.
The presence of infected prostate stones (prostatic calculi) can make treatment of chronic bacterial prostatitis more difficult.
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory and noninflammatory
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory and noninflammatory, often get better over time without serious complications. But the symptoms sometimes return unexpectedly.
What Increases Your Risk
Things that can increase your risk for prostatitis include:
- A recent urinary tract infection (UTI).
- Insertion of a urinary catheter or having a cystoscopy.
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Injury, such as from riding a bicycle or horse.
If you have had chronic bacterial prostatitis, you have an increased chance of developing it again.
When To Call a Doctor
Contact your doctor immediately if you have sudden fever, chills, and urinary symptoms, such as pain or burning with urination or blood or pus in the urine. These symptoms may point to acute prostatitis.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Urinary symptoms and persistent pain in the low back, scrotum, penis, or the area between the scrotum and anus, or if you have pain with ejaculation or with a bowel movement.
- Recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Discharge from your penis or sores on your genitals.
- Problems urinating, such as excessive nighttime urination, trouble starting urinating, decreased urinary stream, or frequent urination that is not related to drinking lots of fluids.
Watchful waiting
Most men will have some discomfort in their prostate (prostatitis) at some time during their lives. If you do not have a fever and chills or extreme pain, you may try home treatment for a few weeks. Take nonprescription pain medicines, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or acetaminophen, to relieve pain. But if your urinary symptoms and pain continue, be sure to see a doctor.
Who to see
Health professionals who can evaluate and treat your prostatitis include:
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
Exams and Tests
If your doctor suspects that you have prostatitis, he or she will begin with a complete medical history and physical exam. The type of prostatitis that you have cannot be determined solely from your history and symptoms. Your doctor will do tests to find out the cause of your prostatitis.
Acute prostatitis is the least common type but the easiest to diagnose. If acute prostatitis is suspected, a urine culture will be done to test for the presence and type of bacteria.
If your history and physical exam show that you do not have acute prostatitis, a pre- and post-massage test (PPMT) or expressed prostatic secretions test may be done to find out which type of prostatitis you have. An expressed prostatic secretions test is not done if acute prostatitis is suspected, because when the prostate is inflamed or infected, massaging it to obtain a sample for tests is very painful and possibly dangerous. Some doctors believe that massaging an infected prostate increases the risk of developing a bacterial infection of the blood (septicemia).
More tests may be needed if:
- Your symptoms do not improve with treatment.
- You continue to have prostate infections.
- The symptoms could be caused by bladder or prostate cancer.
- Your doctor suspects you have a complication related to prostatitis, such as an abscess.
Tests that may be done include:
- Complete blood count (CBC).
- Digital rectal exam, to check for growths in the prostate gland or to see if it is larger than normal.
- Blood culture, to check for bacteria in your blood if you have acute prostatitis.
- Computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of your pelvic area.
- Transrectal ultrasound of your pelvic area.
- Prostate specific antigen (PSA).
Treatment Overview
Treatment for prostatitis usually begins with taking an antibiotic for several weeks. If you begin to feel better, you may have to take the medicine for 2 to 3 months. If you do not get better while taking antibiotics, more tests may be done.
Acute prostatitis
Treatment for acute prostatitis is aimed at curing the infection and preventing complications. Acute bacterial prostatitis is treated with antibiotics, pain and fever medicine, stool softeners, fluids, and rest.
- If you are unable to urinate or need intravenous antibiotics, you may be admitted to a hospital for a short time for treatment.
- Most men get better quickly. Treatment (usually at home) lasts for 4 to 6 weeks.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis
Treatment for chronic bacterial prostatitis is aimed at curing the infection and preventing complications. Antibiotics are given for 6 to 12 weeks. Long-term antibiotic treatment may be needed if the infection returns.
- Infected prostate stones (prostatic calculi) can make the infection more difficult to cure. They may need to be surgically removed.
- Surgery may be needed if urinary tract problems, such as narrowing of the bladder neck or urethra, are causing the prostatitis.
- Surgical removal of the prostate (prostatectomy) for repeated infections is rarely used and is used only as a last resort.
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory
Treatment of chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory, may be difficult.
- Antibiotics are tried first. If your symptoms do not improve, treatment with these medicines is usually stopped.
- Muscle relaxants and alpha-blockers may be used if muscle spasms are causing pain or problems urinating.
- Medicines to reduce inflammation, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), may relieve pain.
- 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, medicines that slow the growth of the prostate, may be used.
- Massaging the prostate 3 or 4 times a week may help relieve symptoms.
- Counseling , biofeedback, or relaxation techniques may help reduce stress that is contributing to the pain.
- Certain plant extracts, such as bee pollen extract (Cernilton) or quercetin (Prosta-Q) may provide some relief.1
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, noninflammatory
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, noninflammatory, is difficult to treat because it is not clear what causes this form of prostatitis. The primary goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms. Many treatments are tried, including:
- Nonnarcotic pain medicines.
- Muscle relaxants.
- Alpha-blockers.
- Medicines to reduce anxiety.
- Physical therapy, exercise, massage therapy, biofeedback, or stress reduction. These may help some men.
- Certain plant extracts, such as bee pollen extract (Cernilton) or quercetin (Prosta-Q). These may provide some relief.1
You may be able to prevent prostatitis.
- Practice good hygiene, and keep your penis clean.
- Drink enough fluids to cause regular urination.
- Seek early treatment of a possible urinary tract infection.
Home Treatment
Prostatitis is usually treated with antibiotics and other medicines prescribed by your doctor. But there are some things you can do at home that may help you be more comfortable:
- Take nonprescription pain relievers, such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or acetaminophen.
- Sit in a tub of warm water with the water just covering your buttocks, or try a sitz bath.
- Take care of yourself when you have an infection. Get plenty of rest, and drink lots of fluids. This will make you feel better and may speed your recovery.
- Eat plenty of high-fiber foods, such as fruit, vegetables, and whole-grain breads and cereal. And drink enough water to avoid constipation. Straining to pass a bowel movement may be very painful when your prostate is inflamed, so use a stool softener if needed.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods such as hot peppers, chili, pickles, and salsa, especially if they make your symptoms worse.
- Try stress management: deep breathing, relaxation, light exercise, and elimination of stressful circumstances. Stress and anxiety may make your symptoms worse.
Treatment of prostatitis usually begins with antibiotics and possibly other medicines to relieve symptoms. If you begin to get better, you may have to continue taking antibiotics for 2 to 3 months. During this time, be sure to take the antibiotics as prescribed. If you do not begin to get better while taking medicines, your doctor may want you to have more tests.
Medication choices
Acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis
Antibiotics are central to treating acute or chronic bacterial prostatitis. Your doctor may prescribe certain antibiotics based on your medical history, symptoms, and other factors such as your age. Other medicines may also be used to help control symptoms, including:
- Medicines to reduce pain, fever, and inflammation. These include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen, or acetaminophen.
- Stool softeners, to prevent or eliminate constipation.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis may require long-term antibiotics, especially if the symptoms return. Some men need treatment with low doses of antibiotics over a long period to control infection and prevent repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory and noninflammatory
Chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory and noninflammatory, are usually treated first with antibiotics based on the possibility that an infection was missed during testing. But experts advise against long-term treatment with antibiotics unless an unusual bacterial infection is suspected.
Medicines that may be used to treat chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory or noninflammatory, include:
- Antibiotics . If the symptoms begin to improve, it is possible that an undiagnosed infection is responsible for the symptoms.
- Medicines that reduce pain and inflammation (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]).
- Medicines that relax muscles throughout the body (muscle relaxants) or that relax muscles in the prostate (alpha-blockers).
- Medicines that slow the growth of the prostate (5-alpha reductase inhibitors).
- Medicines that reduce anxiety (benzodiazepines). These medicines also may relax the muscles around the prostate and make it easer to urinate. These medicines work best when combined with counseling.
- Medicines that are used for chronic pain (anticonvulsants).
What to think about
Prostate stones (prostatic calculi) can make chronic bacterial prostatitis more difficult to cure. If you have prostate stones, they may need to be surgically removed.
Surgery for prostatitis may be needed to treat chronic bacterial prostatitis that does not respond to long-term antibiotic treatment and that causes repeated urinary tract infections. Surgery may be done to remove part of the prostate or to remove infected prostate stones (prostatic calculi). But this does not always cure the infection, and it may make the symptoms worse. Surgery is typically done only if all other treatments have failed.
Surgery choices
Surgical removal of part of the prostate to remove prostate stones or to treat an infection that does not respond to antibiotic treatment is called transurethral prostatectomy.
What to think about
This surgery may not cure prostatitis, because the surgery may not remove the portion of the prostate causing the problem.
Other Treatment
Prostatic massage
Prostatic massage for prostatitis ("milking" of the prostate by a doctor) is an old treatment that many doctors are beginning to use again because medicines do not always successfully cure prostatitis.
To massage your prostate gland, the doctor inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into your rectum and presses several times on your prostate. This may need to be done 2 or 3 times a week. Why this works is not certain, but it is believed that the massage helps open blocked ducts in the prostate, improving circulation and antibiotic penetration into the prostate.
Prostatic massage is not done for acute prostatitis, because it could cause the bacteria to spread from the prostate and cause a wider infection (sepsis).
Other treatments that may be helpful for chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory or noninflammatory, include:
- Acupuncture .
- Biofeedback.
- Counseling .
- Relaxation techniques.

Thursday, Jan. 17, 2013
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia labor officials say the state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has risen slightly to 8.6 percent.
The December figure is up one-tenth of a percentage point from 8.5 percent in November. The rate was 9.4 percent in December a year ago.
State Labor Commissioner Mark Butler released the new numbers Thursday morning. He said a combination of factors led to the increase. They include what he called a modest increase in new layoffs, along with a small job loss driven primarily by seasonal layoffs in education.
Despite the increase, Butler said it was the best November-to-December job market report since 2007.
