LORAIN — A Hamilton Avenue couple told police they were robbed at gunpoint by a pair of teenagers early Monday.
The couple said they were sitting in their vehicle in front of their home about 3 a.m. when two males who looked to be aged 16 and 18 approached them and asked if they had any marijuana to sell. The couple told the males no and the teens continued south on Hamilton Avenue.
A short time later the two teens returned brandishing handguns and told the couple to exit the vehicle and give them everything they had, according to police. The woman threw her purse on the ground and her boyfriend threw down $20. The suspects grabbed the items and fled.
The teens were both black, with one being short wearing a white tank top and jean shorts and the other tall, thin and wearing a white T-shirt and jean shorts.

TORONTO and NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micromem Technologies Inc. (the "Company") (CNSX:MRM) (OTCBB:MMTIF) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies Inc. (MAST), is pleased to provide an update on current and new initiatives. GSI Westwind An update on GSI will be the subject of a separate press release. International Oil Company A 12 week delay in demonstrating and delivering the beta unit, caused by unavailability of client-supplied nanoparticles has now been remedied. A decision was made to fabricate our own nanoparticles with customized carbon functionalized coatings. This has resulted in additional intellectual property emerging from this client contract. The week of February 11, 2013, we successfully obtained consistent photography of the fluorescent nanoparticles that are collecting on our custom designed magnetic in-line target. Concentration of particles in solution is less than 1 ppb. The week of February 18, we successfully adapted the optics platform to our magnetic sensor platform. Manufacturing of the beta unit and final testing before shipping to the client will be completed by mid-March. We have formally invited our client to witness the final pre ship testing. This development contract is now anticipated to be completed and all revenue remaining on the contract to be collected by May. American Automobile Manufacturer Client dynamic testing is expected to be finished by the end of this week. MAST has been advised that the performance of our sensor platform has exceeded client expectations and written client approval of the Proof of Concept (POC) is expected in early March. The proposal describing commercialization and routine manufacturing timetables is to be delivered to the client by the end of February. US Department of Defense (DOD) and Terrorist Support Working Group (TSWG) MAST was selected for short-listing on our proposal for forward-looking surface penetrating sensor fusion of combined sensor/radar for disturbed ground. The project approval has been held up pending DOD approval and will be reviewed after the upcoming sequestration talks have been completed.

Solar power for the home is a green technology still waiting to deliver on its promise for a lot of consumers. At the moment, having solar modules installed on your roof is expensive, and the power output not enough to completely replace your typical energy supplier's feed unless you spend more and get more cells installed.
While we still have a long way to go to achieve a completely green solution to home energy using solar tech, Sanyo is doing its best to increase the amount of energy generated from the solar cells it produces. This week the Japanese company has announced plans to mass produce its latest solar cells which are also the most efficient available.
The HIT solar cells achieve a cell efficiency of 21.6% and a module efficiency of 19%. Compared to crystalline solar cells they are also much more efficient at energy generation as the reduction in output caused by temperature increases is less.
Sanyo expects to start offering the new cells in Europe first, with the ramp-up in production allowing for a February 2011 launch.
Read more at the Sanyo press release
Matthew's Opinion
21.6% is still quite low, but it is an improvement over existing solar solutions on the market. The reduction in output due to temperature increases is also going to help matters.
While Sanyo's latest solar cells are just a stepping stone, they should help reduce costs either on the installation or on the additional energy you need to pay for alongside using the cells. Higher efficiency means you can either have fewer modules on your roof or a lower energy bill with more cells. In either case, it's a step forward.
Solar energy generation has a lot of future potential. Research carried out at IBM has created an efficient solar cell made from abundant materials. Transparent solar cells that can be fitted to windows are in development, and IBM has also realized a breakthrough in the amount of energy generated per cell which should hopefully make it into new cell production eventually. Some U.S. researchers have even managed to generate solar energy at night, paving the way for 24 hour green energy generation.

Washington, DC – Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid released the following statement on the state of the economy for middle-class families today:
"While the president touts his failed economic agenda that has left millions of American families with higher bills and lower wages to pay them, Democrats remain committed to creating an economy that works for all Americans. While some corporations are enjoying increased profits, the benefits of economic growth still have not reached many hard working middle-class families.
"Instead of pushing to spend billions of dollars on tax breaks for millionaires and the special interests, Republicans in the White House and Congress should join Democrats in pursuing policies that will address the factors squeezing middle-class families today. We can help to cut the skyrocketing costs of health care, gas prices and college tuition by focusing on the priorities of the American people."
Democrats have proposed a variety of measures to improve our economy and address the middle class squeeze. Unfortunately, Washington Republicans, often acting on behalf of special interests, have repeatedly blocked these efforts.
Increase Wages: Democrats worked to increase the Federal minimum wage to restore the power of the minimum wage for working Americans. The Federal minimum wage has not been increased since 1997. Since 1997, Members of Congress have passed pay increases for themselves seven times, equivalent to a raise of $28,500 or nearly three times the income of a worker earning the Federal minimum wage. Senator Kennedy introduced an amendment that would increase the Federal minimum wage by $1.10 to $7.75 an hour. The amendment was rejected by Senate Republicans. [RC 257, S. Amdt. 2063 to H.R. 3058, 10/19/05, 47-51]
Cut the Cost of Prescription Drugs: Democrats have proposed to reduce the cost of prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate for better prices. Washington Republicans have blocked these proposals on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry. [RC 60, S. Amdt. 214 to S. Con. Res. 18, 3/17/05, 49-50; S. 334; RC 302, S.AMDT.2371 to S. 1932, 11/3/05, 51-48]
Make College Tuition More Affordable: Democrats have proposed to expand student aid and make college tuition deductible. Instead, Washington Republicans just voted for the largest student aid cut in our nation's history, so that the savings can be used for special interest tax breaks. [RC 363, S. 1932, 12/21/05, 50-50 (Vice President Cheney Cast the Tie-breaking Vote)]
Cut the Cost of Gas Prices: Democrats have proposed to crack down on price gouging and market manipulation, but Washington Republicans have blocked such efforts on behalf of the oil and gas industry. [S. 1735]
Provide Relief from Skyrocketing Home Heating Prices: Democrats proposed to provide relief to Americans struggling with rising home heating costs, through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program and were rejected three times by Republicans. However, while Washington Republicans have approved a variety of new subsidies for the energy industry, during last minute budget negotiations they dropped an increase in LIHEAP assistance that would have helped ordinary families. [RC 250, S. Amdt. 2033 to H.R. 2863, 10/5/05, 50-49; RC 261, S. Amdt. 2077 to H.R. 3058, 10/20/05, 53-46; RC 270, S. 2194 to H.R. 3010, 10/26/05, 54-43]
Restore Fiscal Responsibility: While supporting fiscally responsible middle-class tax relief, Democrats have opposed massive new tax breaks for special interests and multi-millionaires that would increase the deficit. In addition, Democrats have pushed to reestablish "pay as you go" rules that require all new tax cuts and spending to be offset, to prevent further increases in the budget deficit. Washington Republicans have made deficit-increasing tax breaks their top priority, while defeating proposals to reestablish fiscal discipline through the "pay as you go" rules. [RC 53, S. Amdt. 186 to S. Con. Res. 18, 3/16/05, 50-50; RC 283, S. Amdt. 2351 to S. 1932, 11/3/05, 50-49]

[Ask The Readers] HTC Sense vs. Samsung TouchWiz: Which Android Manufacturer Skin Do You Like More?
Last week, we asked our readers about which flagship smartphone they liked more: the trend-smashing, beautifully designed HTC One with its 4MP "UltraPixel" camera, or the more flexible Galaxy S4 with its microSD card support, removable battery and more interesting software features. The HTC One came first with 564 votes, but only very slightly – as the GS4 was right behind it with 486 (46%) votes.
Our previous poll was more or less focused on the hardware aspect of these phones. In today's Ask The Readers feature, we discuss the custom skins running on top of them – HTC Sense and Samsung TouchWiz.
HTC Sense
HTC's Sense UI has long been known among smartphone enthusiasts for its bloated nature; the way it makes Android feel rather heavy even on some of the powerful of phones it's been shipping on in the past, thanks to its needlessly-detailed animations and general resource-intensiveness. In recent iterations and especially with the latest Sense 5 on the new HTC One, the Taiwanese company has shed a lot of bloat and made real, tangible progress in making sure their custom skin looks closer to stock Android, while still retaining its characteristic HTC feel.
Apart from the current version of Motorola's Motoblur skin in use on Droid Razr Maxx HD, no other custom skin feels as close to stock Jelly Bean looks as Sense 5 does now.
Sense 5 looks great, and has some excellent new features that are very much unique to it, including:
- BlinkFeed: A huge Flipboard-like home screen & lock screen widget that pulls updates from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and your favorite websites.
- Zoe: Takes multiple photos and records video when you're taking photographs, resulting in short GIF-like moving images in your gallery that you can share online.
- Sense TV: A universal remote control (powered by an IR blaster) plus TV guide that works with all major TVs & cable set top boxes in US and UK, as well as Hulu Plus.
Samsung TouchWiz
As mentioned in our previous Ask The Readers feature poll, Samsung never hesitates when it comes to adding crazily innovative software features to their smartphones.
In addition to the crazy number of mostly-gimmicky-but-at-times-useful features in TouchWiz for Galaxy S III such as Smart Stay for keeping the display on while you're looking at it, Pop Up Display for watching videos while you use other apps etc., TouchWiz on the Galaxy S4 has the following new features and apps:
- S Health: Dedicated health and fitness-tracking app that makes use of the temperature and humidity sensors in the S4.
- Adapt Display: Adjusts display brightness and contrast based on surrounding light conditions.
- Drama Shot: Allows you to take multiple exposures for awesome actions shots.
- Air View / Gesture: Lets you perform different tasks by waving your hand or pointing your finger right above the display's surface.
- Smart Pause: Pauses video playback when it detects you are looking away from your phone.
- Dual Shot: Takes photo using rear + front facing cameras and makes a single image out of them.
I am personally forced to prefer TouchWiz over Sense because – despite looking like a novice art class project – it just has more features that go a long way in improving daily smartphone usage. Being able to swipe call logs to call or message contacts, keeping the display on while you're looking at it, having a dedicated fitness tracking app, and managing your phone from your desktop with Kies Air etc. is downright awesome.
Ideally, there should be a custom manufacturer skin that has the features of TouchWiz, but the mature, elegant looks of Sense, but that's probably never going to happen, sadly.
This all, however, is just my opinion. We are here to ask our readers what they think about custom manufacturer skins – especially HTC's and Samsung's, given that they sell the most popular and influential Android smartphones, so sound off in the comments section after leaving your answer in the poll below.

Will Kanye West's New Album Be Called 'I Am God'?
You could say Kanye West is on a brief hiatus in regards to his music, but we think he should be on a long-term hiatus from naming things.
Last week, it came to light that he wants to name his unborn child North West and now there are rumors flying that he wants to name his sixth solo studio album 'I Am God.' Please, God, no.
This rumor could be totally baseless (we hope!), seeing as there was already false info flying around that his followup to 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,' would be titled 'Rich Black American.' What's giving heed to this album title is a rather cryptic tweet courtesy of The Roots' Questlove:
I Am God…. (you'll get it later)
— Questo of The Roots (@questlove) March 25, 2013
If anyone knows anything about Kanye's album, it's probably Questlove. Just sayin'!
So far, details on Yeezy's next album are pretty few and far between, but we do know he'll be working with The-Dream on his next LP, though the producer said, said, "I've been told to zip it." Back in February, West also told a crowd in Paris that he has new material due out in "a couple months," though we have reason to believe his album won't be out until at least this summer as he is spending two months in Paris to work on both his fashion and music.
We're ready when you are Kanye, but please, change the name of your album because we know you're not being cheeky!

The carnage of missed 8-footers for par at the U.S. Open last week will be replaced by red numbers this week at the Travelers Championship.
With the dust settling in San Francisco at The Olympic Club, the PGA Tour moves 3,060 miles away to Cromwell, Conn., to play the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands. The 6,841-yard, par 70 layout this week will yield more sub-par rounds in the first day than we saw all last week at the U.S. Open.
Webb Simpson, now the No.5-ranked golfer in the world, is in the field for the Travelers Championship despite winning his first major just three days ago. He was able to endure the rigors of a U.S. Open and emerge victorious with a 1-over par 281-stroke total last week. This week, however, will be more about low numbers than mental endurance. Birdies will be a must.
Last year's winner at the Travelers Championship, Fredrik Jacobson, made 21 birdies and only one bogey to finish at 20-under par for the event. Jacobson's four-day total fell two shots shy of tournament record 258 strokes (22-under) set in 2009 by Kenny Perry. Jacobson will be back in the field this year to defend his title after finishing T-15th at the U.S. Open.
The players won't be complaining about a course that's too firm, too fast or and too hard — this is not The Olympic Club. The course is short in length and forgiving around the greens, allowing players to attack the flagstick.
Rounds in the low 60's are not uncommon, even for the amateurs in the field.
Patrick Cantlay made headlines last year at the Travelers Championship, firing a 60 (10-under par) in Friday's second round at TPC River Highlands, the lowest round ever on the PGA Tour by an amateur.
Cantlay is in the headlines again this year at the Travelers, announcing on Tuesday his decision to turn professional for this week's event. The long-awaited move by the world's top ranked amateur comes after completing his sophomore year at UCLA. It's time for the Bruin to start cashing in on his success and earning full-time status on the PGA Tour. Had he turned pro at the beginning of the 2012 season, Cantlay would have earned $61, 376 in two events.
Past champions Bubba Watson and Hunter Mahan will also be in the field this week, looking to redeem themselves after under-performing at the U.S. Open.
Watson, the 2010 Travelers champion, will look to regain his focus after missing the cut last week at the U.S .Open. He was vocal about his displeasure of the set-up at The Olympic Club. The more forgiving layout of TPC River Highlands should better suit his liking.
Mahan, the 2007 Travelers Champion, will be looking to win his third PGA Tour event of the season. He was on the highlight reel last week more for his chunked chip shots than his stellar play, finishing T-38.
Matt Kuchar will be in the Travelers Championship field for the first time since 2008, when he finished T-52. Kuchar returns as the No. 7-ranked golfer in the world and playing consistently well. He holds the longest active streak of made-cuts on tour with 20, and has made the cut in all of his 13 events played this year. He will look to continue his steady play of 2012, which included a win at The PLAYERS Championship in May.
The players will fly cross-country, through a couple different time zones in search of birdies at TPC River Highlands. The massacre of last week has concluded. Now let the birdie barrage begin.

Forums > Photography Talk > Am i the only Pentax user?
I got started with Pentax. Although it got me started with a higher quality camera then i was looking into originally, I feel i am at or going to be at a point where i want more then i can get from this company. Am i correct? Should i be getting better images from my equipment? Is it Just my skill level at this point and i can get a better quality image with what i have? Also If you do shoot with Pentax, may i ask what lenses and other equipment you have and recommend?
Please keep in mind i dont shoot very often so it takes me quite a while to learn and may not be cost effective to start over in another brand. Still undecided as to what i should do if anything at all or stick with what i have.

since you have no plans to become a pro sports photographer or anything similar, i doubt you'd be better off with a different brand. pentax has come out with several significantly better cameras since your k20d though, so you may want to upgrade. check out http://www.pentaxforums.com/
Nov 13 12 09:40 pm Link
Although we aren't here in the same numbers as Canikon users, we are definitely here.
Since I shoot mostly in studio, I haven't kept up with the latest bodies (I rarely print larger than 11x17" and I can do that with images from an old 6MP *istD). More important is good glass. All of the legacy glass (manual focus K-mount, M42, even 67 and 645 with adapters) can be used on the Pentax digital bodies.
There is a whole site dedicated to Pentax - http://www.pentaxforums.com
Nov 13 12 09:42 pm Link
Thank you. I've been told however that the image quality really isnt better with the newer models. I dont know for myself, its just what i was told by the gentlemen at the local store that i have been talking with.
I wonder if all of suburbia was shot on film or just the older images.

My MX is still alive and kicking. That's the latest model I have for a Pentax.
Good for the next 50 years.
CLA every 25 years...
I say don't jump ship as you are using a top 5 brand in the DSLR category. I used Pentax during the film era, but since the digital age, have used Canon and Nikon predominantly.
Nov 13 12 09:45 pm Link
I have heard the older lenses are better but i noticed my eyes aren't good enough for that these days and seem to need auto focus. SO in your opinion my k20d is fine and i should have a good quality image. Or at least good enough

Of the 30 images in my portfolio for this account, 6 were shot with a *istD, the rest with a K20D.
A K5 will have better high ISO performance than the K20D and the K5 II is supposed to have much more sensitive autofocus (down to EV -3). I don't shoot sports, so I don't have experience with the continuous autofocus to track a moving subject.
I do occasionally use older manual focus lenses, and the focus confirmation works (even if the lens isn't autofocus).

I started with a k10d and now shoot with the k5 I love the camera but as all of of us no doubt wasted a fair few dollars on midrange underperforming but cheaper glass. I now use a
16/50 2.8 Pentax SMC *and a Pentax 50/135 SMC * both are at the dearer end of the Pentax spectrum but well worth the money I also have a Sigma 50mm 1.4 ex which performs really well
I will not spend money on anything that doesn't have the * mark or in the case of sigma the ex
I have been told Pentax have other great performing lenses but its a bit of a lottery working out
Which are good and which aren't
Hope this helps

Gem thank you and everyone else for your input. I was going to ask what your images where shot with. The issue i find even in searching that i dont find many images made by pentax users to be up to par from what i see form others. Your images gives me faith in our brand and hope that i can achieve better images. May i ask what lenses you use? I have a sigma 10-20 that i like and a 50 1.4. other than that i dont have much except the kit lens and an old 200 k mount that i dont use much. What do you suggest for portrait type work?
Meh, I shoot Pentax. I have a K5 and K30.
Lenses I use are (from favourit to least)
Sigma 85mm f1.4
Sigma 70-200mm f2.8
Sigma 105mm f2.5
Sigma 50mm f1.4
Pentax DA*16-50mm f2.8
I am happy with the results I get. Look through my portfolio if you like and let me know if I can help you out. Nothing wrong with Pentax. It captures light as other cameras do.
Maybe look up Benjamin kanerek. He shoots for harpers bazaar and vogue with Pentax out in France and other places. He is on here too.

Digital 1 that is a big help. I want the 50-135 but i cant see spendin the money. i shoot so infrequently. also i feel like i wasted money on the 50 1.4 because i probably wont use it if i get zoom that includes that range

Pentax has a supreme sensor (better than my Canon)
their lenses are excellent
and very innovative features, other bigger companies mimic...
it is the best poorly kept secret in photography.
you would have to spend thousands of $
to get the weather seal on a Canon, that Pentax already has
on their standard models ....
which have I.S. bodies, saving bling on I.S. lenses
seriously smart company.
I would recommend the 85mm sigma for portraits. I have the 70-200 and the 85 is still my favourit. I regularly shoot wider than f2.8 so it plays a big part being as sharp as t is. Te 50mm f1.4 cannot be replaced by a zoom if you care about absolute quality. You cannot assume the brand could be holding you back when you don't understand how good the sigma 50mm 1.4 is. Read up! It is one of the best in that focal length

My 1st GOOD camera was an MX with a 50mm 1.4...loved it...bought more
of that beautiful Pentax glass over the years...as I started shooting more outdoor stuff I needed higher flash synch speeds than Pentax offered in
their bodies so...I switched to an EOS and recently started a Sony NEX kit...
Guess what...my old Pentax 24mm and 50mm still get a ton of use on these cameras through the use of inexpensive adapters...
My 24mm SMC is freakishly sharp no matter what camera I put it on!!!
Pentax went thru some rough times in the last decade and are just now getting back on their feet...Ricoh bought them a couple of years ago and
seems really commited to re-establishing the Pentax brand...
Check out the line of "Limited" lenses...expensive but...among the finest
optics in the world!!!

Thank you. I try. More often than not, people struggle with the editing part of photography and try to do too much. There is also the issue of making sure you take the photo correctly for you to edit it. The lighting needs to be right for what you need to bring out of the photos. Unless you shoot jpeg and don't edit, you don't go for the end result in camera. You need to set yourself up for the perfect edit. I under expose on purpose to keep detail in the highlights, but I do this by brightening the jpeg setting. It doesn't affect the raw file but it shows me a closer result to how I will edit.

I under expose a little for the same reason. Im glad i finally had a correct idea lol. You shoot in JPEG?

The guy at the local store doesn't know what he is talking about. The Pentax K5 has a longer dynamic range than any other APS-C camera, and gives the full frame cameras a run for the money in the image quality department. The K20 was a very good camera, though the Samsung sensor did leave a bit to be desired. I liked the quality from it at base ISO, but it did deteriorate rapidly, and for me wasn't really usable past ISO 800.

I agree about the low light capabilities. I never shoot over 400 iso and its very limiting. As far as me not getting very good images, I am learning and unfortunately some of the images i posted i only added because i needed to post something. I was getting so frustrated with them not being sharp and wanted to give up until i sent the camera out to be checked and found there were things wrong with it. Now i'm back to learning after not having my camera for almost 2 months. Got it back in july or august.

I used to shoot Pentax and was considering going back (to the K5-II) for the weather sealing, and because it's smaller for my planned travels next year. I'll probably end up with the OM-D though, it's smaller and seems to be about as weather proof.
But seriously, Pentax is not holding you back!!! There's nothing wrong with their gear.

I always wanted a Kx. Even now, it's still the best at retaining detail after NR when using higher ISO values. I'm just too deep into Canon and prefer Canon's USM for speed and silence.

Benjamin Kanarek shoots with Pentax. Recently he just shot the girl from the new James Bond movie for Harper's BAZAAR Spanish version.
http://www.benjaminkanarekblog.com/2012 … rs-bazaar/
I believe he shot it with the Pentax K-5.
The brand of camera will not make you a better photographer. Although if you shoot with one of the big two, you have more/easier access to equipments if you need to buy or rent them. I only know one online place that rents Pentax equipment.
Nov 14 12 08:44 am Link
Hbutz. Are the images in your portfolio shot with Pentax gear? Your images are very creative, well done.

My first camera was the eponomous K1000 (which I still have) and I now actively shoot with a K5.
I use my K10D as a back-up and for timelapse work, along with an istD.
I also recently bought the new K30, which I use just for HD video.
Both the K5 and the K30 are using new CMOS sensors, and definitely improve image quality over the earlier models.
I do not care much about gear, I am more interested in the final images and I have never once had another photographer look at my work and tell me that I would get better pics with a Canon or a NIkon.
I have top notch glass which dates as far back as 1968, and it all still fits, and all still works with any of my Pentax bodies.

It's probably skill level, honestly. I wouldn't blame your images on your camera. Vision matters more.
Obviously, a really good camera may get in the way less. Or maybe not. Sometimes the brilliance of some images is working with the unique characteristics of the tools at hand.
Nov 14 12 10:36 am Link
I wasn't blaming my image quality on the brand. I was simply asking if I am maxed out. I've been told that was part of the issue. I know I have lots to learn to make my images better however my question was more for future reference. As in should I stop sinking money into this brand instead of converting. I see now that it's not the case because I can finally see others getting beautiful ages that are too notch. Even on the pentax forums and Flickr I just haven't seen a lot of work comparable before hence my questions. It was just a matter of finding others.

One of the things that never changes in photography is the importance of good lenses. Without knowing what lenses you have, it's hard to say what is going sideways. You might only have the kit zoom, for example, which will only do OK at it's best apertures, probably not so well at it's less than optimum apertures.

RIVERSIDE - A Riverside County fifth-grader has won the California State Elementary Spelling Bee, and will head to the 80th annual Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., next week.
Brandon Whitehead, who attends Camino Real Elementary School in Pedley, won the top prize by correctly spelling archetype, then boisterous. The competition was completed in 13 rounds Saturday at Person Theatre on the Cal State Sonoma campus in Rohnert Park.
Brandon also received a trophy and a $1,000 U.S. savings bond.
Brandon competed at the state competition because he won the countywide spelling bee March 28, correctly spelling the word preparate in the 18th round. Finishing second in that contest was Lake Elsinore Unified School District student Kendra Burns, who attends Tuscany Hills Elementary.
Kendra was also at Saturday's competition, and was eliminated in the first round after misspelling berserk.

Intro: With gas prices inching past $4 per gallon, you might be wondering if a hybrid vehicle is the answer to rising fuel costs. Depending on the age of your current car, how far you drive, and where you live ... the hybrid vs. fuel debate is more complicated than you'd expect.
Hybrids cost more than fuel-powered vehicles, they tend to be slightly more expensive to insure -- but the fuel savings will make up for it, right? Well, not necessarily.
Take SOT: Greg McBride, Senior Financial Analyst, Bankrate.com
"Deciding to purchase a hybrid vehicle is a decision based more on the benefit to the environment, rather than the benefit to your pocket book."
Take Full Page:
While you might visit the gas pump less often, consider the other aspects of buying a hybrid that could eat away at your fuel savings. The sticker price is often several thousand dollars higher than the fuel version. And you may be surprised to learn that it costs more to insure a hybrid. So, if you're thinking that a hybrid vehicle purchase will save you money in the long run, be sure to use some real-world numbers in making your decision.
Ford Fusion Hybrid: $27, 232
Ford Fusion Fuel: $20, 176
Difference in price: $7,056
For example, let's look at the Ford Fusion. The hybrid version can cost $7,000 more than the fuel version and, based on sample insurance quotes, a modest $60 more a year to insure.
Annual insurance cost:
Hybrid: $1,151/year approximately
Fuel: $1,091/year approximately
= $60 more a year to insure
Keep full page up:
Now, the fuel savings by themselves look impressive. Based on driving 12,000 miles per year -- half in the city and half on the highway -- and at $4 per gallon for gasoline, the hybrid saves approximately $500 per year.
Annual Fuel Savings:
12,000 miles per year = approximately $500/year
Net savings =$440/year
$7000 sticker price difference
16 years to break even
SOT: Greg McBride
"With net annual savings of $440, it will take 16 years to recoup the additional $7,000 paid for the car ... never mind inflation and financing costs."
Continue VO:
All-in-all, the hybrid costs you more money overall. But if your main goal is saving the environment, not necessarily your budget then it can be a sensible move.
To find out if you're a good candidate to purchase a hybrid vehicle, you can use Bankrate.com's, Is a hybrid car right for you calculator. I'm Kristin Arnold.

I had revision rhino with rib grafts.. now i think my nose is too large... so would it be "Easy" to remove/trim the grafts? can it be done under local? or is it a difficult procedure to trim/remove to modify the nose and make it smaller? how complex is graft trimming/removal (rib grafts)
Is it Difficult to Remove/Trim a Rhinoplasty Graft?
Doctor Answers 5
Remove/trim rib graft from revision rhinoplasty is difficult.
Removing and trimming a rib graft through a tertiary rhinoplasty is no easy feat. It is extremely complicated and must be done under general anesthesia, not local anesthesia. Rib grafts tend to get tissue ingrowth making them difficult to remove, which is why it requires a major revision rhinoplasty.
Learn more: http://seattlefacial.com
Is it Difficult to Remove/Trim a Rhinoplasty Graft?
The reality is that Revision Rhinoplasty is always more complicated and difficult than a primary one because of tissue scarring and disruption from the previous surgery(s). Aesthetically speaking, I don't use rib cartilage/bone for building up the nasal bridge as it has a tendency to dissolve unevenly over the years IMO. The graft can be shaped or better still replaced with a reliable, straight silastic dorsal implant however, the exposure...or getting to the implant will require another full Rhinoplasty. Be sure that the Revision Rhinoplasty Surgeon, you choose, understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty for the creation of a naturally more attractive nose.

Removing/Trimming Nasal Rib Grafts
Your rib graft can be revised, but it would be best to do this with at least some sedation in addition to the local anesthesia.
You might also like...
I would recommend waiting a minimum of one year for any revision procedure
It is difficult to make any suggestions without examining you or seeing photographsy. I would recommend waiting a minimum of one year following you initial procedure for any revision. Have you let your surgeon know about your concerns. If you are not satisfied seek a second opinion. Make appointments for consultations with multiple surgeons. Look at lots of before and after photos. Board certification by The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, The American Board of Otolaryngology or The American Board of Plastic Surgery is preferred. Warmest regards.
Dr. Pippin
Revision Rhinoplasty
Revision Rhinoplastyis always more difficult than primary rhinoplasty.
To trim a rib graft, depends on how long it has been since the graft,Is the graft mobile, or stuck to the bone?Complete removal will cause major deformity. Triming is possible. I prefer rhinoplasty under general anesthesia.

Question re: MRI results
Hello and thank you for your time. I am not sure which topic I should have this question in, but hopefully I am close. Last year I had an MRI w/o contrast with Impression: Multiple foci of white matter signal abnormality in left cerebrum. I was examined for MS and all was normal (evoked response, lumbar puncture, etc). MD said was not MS, but he couldn`t say what it was, that he saw no other abnormals other than the MRI; stated small possibility of very early MS. I am 42 yo. This year I had MRI w/ and w/o contrast with Findings: focal areas of nonenhancing T@ signal abnormality in the periventricular, deep, and subcortical white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, bilaterally. There is mild prominence of a left occipital sulcus, which may represent a variant of normal. CSF spaces otherwise of normal size and configuration. Impression: Multiple foci of white matter signal abnormality, which likely represents a chronic ischemic change. Demyelinating disease, though somewhat less likely, cannot be excluded. The MD`s nurse called and said "results were normal". This MD did not have the results of the first MRI as I had moved several states away. Later I obtained the MRI reports on my own to get the actual findings but I have not seen my nuerologist here about them and comparing results. Also report did say: no evidence of mass lesions, small or large vessel infarctions, abnormal contrast enhancement,or of intracranial hemorrhage. I am a nurse so you don`t have to explain the terminology of this part, but I don`t understand the findings and the impression. Just incase, my diagnosed condtions are Chronic pain we believe r/t to failed surgery s/p discectomy with anterior fusion, C6-7 in March 2004, followed by C2-3 in May 2004. Also, hyperthyroidism (or whichever one that requires taking syntroid-I get them confused), and a history of depression and anxiety for which I continue to take maintenance meds for. I was also dxed this year with a "severe" sleep d/o and use the autopap at night, which doesn`t help very much. My 2-night O2 sats were pretty good with a few "88`s`. I always feel awful and want to sleep constantly. I am not depressed, rather I am very happy when awake and alert as long as I don`t think about the sleep problem. this started well after I started my meds below that are sedating, so I don`t feel like these are the cause of the sleep problem. Meds are: Avinza 90mg HS, Neurontin 600mg tid, Effexor XR 150mg bid, Wellbutrin XR 150mg 2 AM and 1 noon, Klonopin 0.5mg tid and 1 prn but I don`t take these tid, only most HS`s and occasional daytime, Lamictal 100mg bid (once on stable dose on this my MD hopes to gradually decrease the other antidepressants), ASA 1 qd, Synthroid 0.25mcg qd, occasionally Motrin 800mg tid for a few days and/or Tylenol ES prn. My questions are (and are probably dumb from and RN but I don`t understand them anyway). - I understand you have not examined me, but what can the MRI results mean? Are they just alot of medical terminology that is basically normal? If a test is normal I have always noted that the Impression reads `normal MRI` or CT scan or whatever the test is, but it always says normal; it doesn`t have all of this stuff written there. -What does it mean that the results were on the left side and now they are bilateral? I know that means `both sides`, but it went from the left side the 1st year to `bilateral` the 2nd year? Isn`t that a progression of something? If so, then what? -What are "focal areas of nonenhancing T2 signal abnormalities"? What symtoms would these cause based on their location? also symptoms that would come from the white matter vs. the cerebrum. -Could any of this stuff be the source of my sleep problem? If so, what are some possible tx options either with my autopap, or without it? -Anything else you can think of tht I might need to know will be very helpful. My family and I am just very concerned and afraid I might stroke out or acutally have MS or something else. (note, this concern of MD`s has been the reason for the MRI`s). -My neurologist is handling this and my sleep problem. She has told me I can NEVER drive again. Why would she make this determination? Should I get a 2nd opinion? I think so as I`m only 42, NEVER again is a long time. I hope. Again thank you for your time and evaluation of this situation`s possibilites. Sincerely, Vikki P Adams firstname.lastname@example.com
This question has been answered previously (to some extent--see "Help explaining MRI results in 9/05). In this answer, I discussed some of the reasons why we see periventricular white matter disease. Such findings are common with age and risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes. Sleep apnea, with the episodes of hypoxia, is another cause of these findings. They are not exactly "normal" findings, as they are associated with increased risk for stroke and cognitive decline in the long term, but are not always indicative of a stroke.
As to the driving restriction, it would be best to discuss this with your neurologist. From the information provided, it is difficult to see why you would be formally restricted, but you do have sleep apnea AND you are taking pain medications that are potentially sedating. It is likely that she is worried about the possibility of a sleep attack while you are driving, and thus thinks it is safest for you not to drive any longer.
I hope this helps.

Just imagine...
To mark St Georges day today EA Sports have mocked up a screen from the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil game of Steven Gerrard and England lifting the World Cup trophy as we count down 50 days to the World Cup.
A generation of England fans have grown up with the image of Bobby Moore lifting the World Cup in 1966 so it's surreal to see myself in the same pose. It's a great gesture by the guys at EA SPORTS and certainly acts as an inspiration coming on St. George's Day. We'll all be doing our best to give the fans the performances they deserve and, with a bit of luck, we might surprise a few people.

Here we are everyone! It's Friday, we have the last event of the "Wanna Throwdown" ih-house competition, and the week has presented some different challenges in the programming for members.
Week Recap
On Monday we tackled a long time domain with a 30 minute every minute on the minute workout consisting solely of bodyweight movements: the pull-up, push-up and sit ups. I think many of you were surprised as to how taxing this WOD was even if you scaled the volume by half. Additionally, the mental aspect to continue to push through after 20 minutes when you may have just wanted to stop. Training sessions consisting of 30 minutes plus are not the norm but they cannot be avoided if you are training for the highest level of well rounded fitness.
Wednesday and Thursday threw in the twist of having to complete sets unbroken in the swings and double unders. Having the ability to perform skills while under great fatigue comes from many hours of practice and a higher level of fitness. I find it useful to move between movements at a slower pace to allow a bit of recovery very helpful. I noticed many of you doing the same.
We have been continuing the strength cycle using max reps at percentages of your 1 rep max and it has been working very well in building confidence in pushing through perceived limitations. Each week your numbers should be climbing with the constant exposure to time under tension.
"Wanna Throwdown"
Tonight is the final event of the series and winners will be announced. The competition has been fierce thus far and many of you have achieved new levels in ability and confidence in your current capacities. Competition is great in the manner as it pushes on to further heights otherwise may not have been achieved.
This last event is being sponsored by Appalachian Jerky & Notch Brewing Company. If you have tried the jerky we carry in house then you already know how good it is! It has a little bit of heat and it is 100% Paleo friendly! Samples will be available for all to try.
Appalachian Jerky Company is two guys, Ron and Doug, who enjoy high quality and flavorful beef jerky (not the mass produced, processed and bland junk). Our jerky varieties are made in the Green Mountains of Vermont using strips of lean top round steak and intense brines.
Notch, the first brewing company to focus exclusively on session beer. We held the title of "only session beer company" for three years. Imagine that, three years of people telling us we were nuts, crazy and had lost our minds to focus on session beer. But today, in 2013, we are on the front edge of the trend, and no longer the lunatic fringe.
Notch was launched in February of 2010 by Chris Lohring, a professional brewer since 1993, most notably at the Tremont Brewery in Boston MA. Today, Chris is an independent brewer – he owns no facility – instead brewing with other breweries. He currently brews his beers at two locations, the Ipswich Ale Brewery (Bottles, Draft, Cask) and Kennebunkport Brewery (Cask and One-Off).
Notch was born to debunk a myth born of the craft beer movement, that flavorful beer is synonymous with high alcohol. In the US, brewing great beer without a debilitating ABV had seemed all but dead. Not anymore. Beers of great flavor and lower alcohol have been brewed for hundreds of years in every great brewing nation except ours. Notch is not out to change the US craft beer world, but to simply offer craft beer fans an option. Because sometimes having another beer is more fun than going home.
Please thank Doug tonight when you see him for sponsoring our event!
Tonight we have an additional treat for everyone. Ryan Shawgo of Danzan Ryu Boston will be offering free 15 minute deep tissue massages for athletes and spectators that wish to partake. I have had two sessions with Ryan and they have been exactly what I have needed. I have left feeling super refreshed and for those of you that are aware, I have been battling a right hip/knee issue since the CrossFit Games Open. Two sessions with Ryan and I have had a significant breakthrough allowing me to resume almost all activities. I strongly encourage that you take advantage of the sessions and book some additional sessions with Ryan. He is conveniently located in Cambridge.

Tropical Storm Lee, building off Louisiana, could drench South
NEW ORLEANS - A large storm system churning in the Gulf of Mexico grew yesterday into Tropical Storm Lee, beginning a Labor Day weekend assault that could bring up to 20 inches of rain to some spots from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle.
The storm was expected to make landfall on the central Louisiana coast late today and turn east toward New Orleans, where it would provide the biggest test of rebuilt levees since Hurricane Gustav struck on Labor Day 2008.
Residents who have survived killer hurricanes such as Betsy, Camille, and Katrina did not expect Lee to live up to that legacy.
"It's a lot of rain. It's nothing, nothing to Katrina,'' said Malcolm James, 59, a federal investigator in New Orleans who lost his home after levees broke during Katrina in August 2005 and had to be airlifted by helicopter.
"This is mild,'' he said. "Things could be worse.''
Lee comes less than a week after Hurricane Irene killed more than 40 people from North Carolina to Maine and knocked out power to millions. It was too soon to tell if Hurricane Katia, out in the Atlantic, could endanger the United States.
By last evening, the outer bands of Lee, the 12th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, began dumping rain over southeastern Louisiana, southern Mississippi, and Alabama.
The storm's biggest impact has been in the Gulf of Mexico oil fields. About half the Gulf's oil production has been cut as rigs were evacuated, though oil prices were down sharply yesterday on sour economic news.
US authorities said 169 of the 617 staffed production platforms have been evacuated, along with 16 of the 62 drilling rigs.
Kevin Lucas, an offshore worker from Lafayette, La., was evacuated by boat from a production platform Thursday. He was in New Orleans' French Quarter yesterday. "It was rocking,'' he said of the boat. "A few fellows got seasick.''
Tropical storm warning flags were flying from Mississippi to Texas, and flash flood warnings extended along the Alabama coast into the Florida Panhandle. Lee had winds of 40 miles per hour - minimal tropical storm strength.
The National Hurricane Center said the center of Lee was about 185 miles southwest of the mouth of the Mississippi River yesterday and moving north at just 2 miles per hour. Its center was expected to make landfall in Louisiana this weekend.
Forecasters say Lee's maximum sustained winds have intensified from 40 to 45 miles per hour and could increase.
Governors in Louisiana and Mississippi, as well as the mayor of New Orleans, declared states of emergency. Officials in several coastal Louisiana communities called for voluntary evacuations.
The Army Corps of Engineers was closing floodgates along the Harvey Canal, a waterway in suburban New Orleans, but had not moved to shut a massive flood structure on the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet shipping channel.
The channel was a major conduit for Katrina's storm surge, which overwhelmed levees and flooded St. Bernard and the city's Lower Ninth Ward.
Officials said they expect street flooding but no levee problems. Lee's storm surge, projected around 4 to 5 feet, is far short of the 20-feet-plus driven by Katrina. Billions of dollars have been spent on new levees and other flood protection.
In New Orleans' central business district, yesterday seemed a typical day. Employees at big-box home improvement stores said residents were not rushing in to stock up.
Merchants, however, worried the storm would dampen the Southern Decadence festival, an annual gay lifestyle fixture that rings cash registers on Labor Day weekend. Ann Sonnier, shift manager of Jester's bar, said receipts were disappointing so far.
"People are probably scared to death to come here after Katrina,'' she said.
Some tourists were caught off guard by Lee, but did not let it dampen their spirits.
"I didn't even know about it,'' said Kyla Holley of Madison, Wis., in town for the Labor Day weekend holiday. "But it wouldn't have stopped us from coming.''
The water-logged Lee was tantalizingly close to Texas but hopes dimmed for relief from the state's worst drought since the 1950s as the storm's forecast track shifted east. Forecasters said it could bring drenching rains to Mississippi and Alabama early next week.

[1] Gnome 353.. What is a nice change in Control Panel is that they have used Clutter (I guess) here and they have a nice scrolling animation in options navigation. It is like a curtain effect from right to left.
[2] The new MS exchange support in GOA
[3] I hadn't (the truth is I have :) ) an exchange account to try it, but this is the login
[4] Empathy's loading screen
[5] And this is the new -with minor changes- Empathy's interface. The Application Menu seems huge (with 2 options -Contacts, Rooms- opened), but this is mostly because screen resolution (1024×768). But ok, it is huge, 768 pixel height!
[6] If you right click on contacts info your Gnome Contact is opening
[7] The call conversation that wasn't working. Also doesn't work for me in 340
[8] The patches for notifications haven't merged in 353
[9] The re-designed Empathy's General Tab with some new options like "Automatically connect on Startup" and "Show account balances" which I haven't a clue what is used for ;) All other tabs remain the same as 340.
These are pretty much all for Empathy 353. I just hope finally to make Empathy a usable IM, because all these years it has nothing but bugs. I can't even connect my MSN Live in 340..

Review by LunarSonata
Every now and then I get the urge to play something different from the norm, something different from the everyday explosive action adventure featuring hardened space marines. Sometimes I want an experience which I can play at my own pace whilst simply sitting back and admiring it. This kind of mood and game don't come around often, but when they do it really is a refreshing change. Flower for me was the perfect fit for this mood. You play in the dream of a flower, drifting lazily across vast field blooming other flowers in your path. A strange concept is it not? Weird it may sound, but simply put, it's a unique and emotional experience unlike anything you've ever played before.
The first level kicks off in a lush field. You guide your flower petal around using the sixaxis, and pressing any button to accelerate your petal in the direction you are headed. Push lightly and you'll go at a slow pace, push a little harder and you'll drift at a reasonable speed. This control set up has disaster written all over it, but somehow the sixaxis manages to hold up quite well. Actually, it's rather fantastic. These are some of the most appropriate motion controls I've ever experienced in a game, which is quite humorous considering this isn't even a Wii title. It takes a small amount of time to get used to, and when you do there isn't any trouble at all darting around in the wind.
You come across a track of flowers, which are yet to actually bloom. You soon sort that out by flying over them, and when this happens some petals join into your train of petals. By the end of a level, you'll have a vast array of different coloured petals following you, making for a majestic appearance indeed. To progress through a level you'll need to bloom a certain amount of flowers, and this will usually open up a new path somewhere in the environment where you can progress.
There we have it. That is the general formula of the entire game. Each of the 6 (well 7 if you count the credits level) adds a somewhat unique twist however. In some levels there will be lots of windmills for example, in another you can effectively paint the ground with a luminous light which lights up the surrounding darkness. That by the way is one of favourite sections of the game.
No doubt some will be worried this all sounds slightly, well you know, pretentious. It's difficult to analyse such a concept though. What really is the game's overarching message? Does it even have a message? The story (yes, there is a hint of a story tying the levels together here) suggests there may be. I definitely think it has an aim of relaxation, but we'll get to that later. Having said that it may just be a game trying to be a breath of fresh air, and by all means it completely succeeds.
As for relaxation, Flower offers this in spades, apart from the much disliked level 5. This paragraph will contain some light story spoilers, so be warned. Basically midway through the game, the gorgeous field environments vanish and a murky urban landscape begins to creep in. This is first introduced with incredible impact at the end of the 4th level. It catches you off guard and its simple concept shocks you. Level 5 develops on this concept, with some hazards along the way. Some find this level dark and frustrating, but I didn't really feel this way. The game suddenly gives you a sense of purpose to bring colour back to the dark city. It's such a contrast from the rest of the game, and somehow it sets up a somewhat intimidating protagonist in the form of the city. The story comes full circle in the fantastic final level, which ends up leaving you with a feeling of triumph and satisfaction. It's uplifting. The fact that Flower manages to leave you with all these feelings with such a minimal story and game play is amazing to me.
As for other emotions you will experience, well that is down to who you are on a personal level. There isn't anything in this game which you make you emotional on face value, at least not for me. However, playing Flower made me reflect on myself. I replayed the first few levels in the beautiful fields, and my mind began to drift. I still played on, but the game play is so simple and nice to watch it almost becomes hypnotic as you reach into your own thoughts. If I had to draw some kind of comparison, it would be like listening to your favourite music whilst taking a walk or falling asleep. I almost wish I could just run the game as a background on my PS3 profile, but alas. Flower is what you make it at the end of the day, and if you can't appreciate it's generally laid back nature you won't fully appreciate it.
Oh god, now I'm the one who sounds pretentious. Who knows if this was the intended nature of the game, but it's how it works for me. I haven't even mentioned how great the game looks yet with all this waffling, but rest assured it looks fantastic. This is the kind of high standard I like to see on a PSN title. The music also completely stands out, adding to the other hypnotic aspects. It's very majestic sounding, and you even add your own little sounds in as you bloom other flowers throughout the game.
Is it worth buying? Of course if you're into this kind of thing. It isn't the longest of games, but it's only a downloadable title so there should be no complaints, Flower is worth the small asking price. Replay comes in the form of replaying for the pure joy of it, but also in the form of trying to find all 3 hidden flowers in each level. This certainly makes it feel more game-like so is a welcome addition, although it somewhat disagrees with the notion of relaxation and free flow flying about. If I had one main complain it would be that. Sometimes there were so many flowers to bloom I almost felt worried I was missing some, and I would occasionally fly backwards trying to find them all. Maybe this is my fault for having a bit of OCD, but it does ruin the flow of the game sometimes.
None the less Flower is easily worth it, and I give it a very high recommendation. Here's hoping some form of expansion comes out soon.

GREENSBORO, Ga. - Reynolds Landing is a sleeper golf course.
Yes, it's long, clocking in at better than 7,000 yards, but on the surface, it doesn't look that difficult. The fairways are wide, the greens sloped but not too undulating.
But subtle challenges, such as elevation changes, uneven lies and a couple hidden water hazards, make this course formidable.
When it opened in 1986, the Bob Cupp-designed golf course was ranked second in Georgia, behind Augusta National. It's a great course that you'll never master, never tire of.

What I really intended to say in in this post, was that I noticed today that Supercell increased the number of diamonds available in parcels. The new quantities look pretty good. Well done on that.
There are often problems like this after an update, which can usually be solved by trying the things I suggested.
Im sorry it wasn't for you, but if there is a large scale problem (and i have no idea if there is) you can bet supercell is working on it.
sorry I don't have any information for you at the moment. Stay strong!

Finally, Exposition!
There is no need to give credit for quotations. The educated viewer knows where they're from, and appreciates them. It's called allusion: It's a legitimate literary device.
Another decent flash. Certainly better than most things NG will ever see. Finally we start to see hints of this mysterious 'awakening' in terms of its form. This series is about how screwed up some people are, in short.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Beter than the last.
I loved the music for this one, I think it was new. This was much better than act I, i think. It was cool how Jesus made a cameo.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this is so cool

The planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and this will have enormous impact: By the middle of this century, an estimated 150 to 200 million people may become permanently displaced due to rising sea levels, frequent floods, and intense droughts. Already, according to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent, as many people are forced to leave their homes due to environmental disaster and natural resource scarcity as flee political oppression, religious persecution, and ethnic troubles combined.
As the earth warms, there has been a shift in weather patterns-over the last century, declining rainfall in the Sahel, the Mediterranean, Southern Africa, and parts of Southern Asia. The southwest United States is facing the driest conditions in more than a century, and Australia is suffering a drought that some have proclaimed to be the worse in 1,000 years. In Africa, by 2020, between 75 million and 250 million people will experience water shortages due to climate change. And the decrease in water supplies will affect food production; a global temperature increase between 2 and 3 degrees Celsius would put 30 to 200 million people at risk of hunger.
Many analysts believe that a temperature rise of more than 2 degrees Celsius-and none of the scenarios projected by the respected Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change show a future with an increase under 2 degrees-could result in sea level rising above 5 meters. This would threaten 270 million people, about one-twentieth of the world's entire population.
Areas like Bangladesh, Egypt, Vietnam, and several small islands in the Pacific will face massive departure of people. And storms, currently the costliest weather catastrophes, are likely to become more powerful as the ocean warms.
Currently, the majority of host countries of environmental refugees are developing countries because they border the countries refugees are fleeing. But the developed countries of the world are primarily responsible for the vast carbon footprint they have stamped onto the earth; they need to be part of the solution, not just the cause of the problem. And environmental refugees need-but currently do not have-the same protections and rights as those refugees who faced persecution from their own governments.
Unfortunately, there is little official recognition by governments, international agencies, or laws that an environmental refugee problem exists or is imminent. There is a need to address this issue now.

Topic: Stable
I hadd a scan and it said disease was stable, no growth or
new lesions. I'm coming up on a year in May. This week started my
17 cycle of chemo. I have tumors in both lobes of liver, but largest is10mm.
Unfortunately I have lesions in the omentum and 2 small
lesions in lungs.
I have been on the same chemo of xeloda, gemzar, and nexavar all year. I'm two weeks and 1 week off. I also have ct scans every seven weeks to check for growth.
My doctors are pleased with how things have remained stable.
We just went on a vacation to attend the admit weekend to the college
my son will attend in sept. We had a wonderful trip to Pennsylvania to Swarthmore College. It's beautiful and the perfect fit for him. I wanted him to
stay close to home in Ca, but he really wanted to go back East. I think this would be difficult for me wether I was sick or not. He has many vacations,
he will be home often.
My Dr. Gave me a talking to about needing to live my life and not waiting
for something to happen. She said you are not dying, you are living, so get out and live. I truly trust and admire Dr Lenz and Taline, but this is
sometimes hard for me to do. I had to quit teaching and I loved
it so much. Well I guess I have to think of more things to stay busy. Well off to church for prayers and study.

Planet Asia - Light Beams
Absent from our front page since dropping off reader-acclaimed EP inclusion You Go Slavia in October of last year, Planet Asia returns to kick off his 2014 with Light Beams, a loosie pulled from the vault in honor of Black History Month. Though this joint dates back to 2011, it doesn't show any signs of age—on the contrary, it sounds as fresh as the day it was recorded. Here, beatsmith DirtyDiggs's deft flip of The 5th Dimension's Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In sets the mood as Planet Asia commits what Das Racist might call "metaphysical spiritual lyrical murder." If this unreleased jam's whet your appetite for more, stay tuned; the Fresno representative doesn't currently have any forthcoming projects on the agenda, but we in the Booth will keep you posted as further details emerge.

As London Fashion Week has just completed, a look back to Day 1 of fashion week needs to be highlighted. Markedly, the Maria Grachvogel show was impeccable. With elegant glamour, she noted that accessories will be minimal for Spring 2013 and statement ensembles will be all the rage. Utilizing basic pieces to standout the-dye ensembles, the show was full fledged perfection with her silhouette styles and color palette.
A favorite on the runway, this mid-thigh length monochromatic dress was an example of fabulous craftsmanship. Emulate this look at ASOS, when you shop ASOS' Swing Dress With Long Sleeves. Although every woman needs a LBD (Little Black Dress), a long sleeve black dress will be an essential to have come Spring 2013. Impressively, this dress by the ASOS Collection has been crafted from a stretch jersey. The details include: a crew neckline, slim fit long sleeves and a flared swing shape.
