PENSIONERS should be means tested before getting free TV licences, bus passes and winter fuel payments, according to a leading Worcestershire campaigner for the elderly.
Brian Hunt, vice-chairman of Worcestershire Pensioners Action Group, said it would "draw a line in the sand" and stop very wealthy people receiving the benefits.
Work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith has raised the possibility of pensioners voluntarily handing benefits back to the State if they can afford to go without them. At the moment, all pensioners are entitled to the handouts regardless of their wealth – costing the country £2 billion a year.
Mr Hunt said pensioners in Tenbury would not be able to afford to hand it back, but said means testing is an idea that could be explored.
"Pensioners don't want something for nothing, that's a myth, they donate all sorts of money to charities other people don't," said the 75-year-old. "When I look at myself, my payments to British Gas have gone up 38 per cent in two years. What Mr Duncan Smith forgets is the way bills like that have gone.
"The people worst off are the widows. Their situation has never been very good and for those who have their own property and need to pay for things like repairs, it's a real struggle.
"But relying on goodwill and asking people to hand things back won't happen.
"The fairest way is means testing. That means there is a line in the sand and a cut-off point." His comments have been echoed by other pensioners in the city, who say despite their own struggles, if they had the money to pay it back, they would.
Dorothy Onions, aged 74, of Worcester, said: "If I was living in Spain or somewhere nice with plenty of money, I wouldn't take the winter heating. Maybe if the very well-off pensioners gave it back, we could get more.
"Life for most of us is a daily struggle. I retired in 1999 and haven't been on holiday since, I can't afford to.
"I've got about £50 a month left after my food and bills are paid. It's nothing."
The winter fuel allowance is worth £200 to pensioners and £300 to the over-80s, and all over-75s get free TV licences worth £145.50 for a colour set. After reaching 60, prescriptions also become free and concessionary bus travel is offered to people at state pension age.
Prime Minister David Cameron has pledged to protect the benefits until at least 2015, despite Mr Duncan Smith calling it an "anomaly"

Key Shiite Backs Away From Charter Accord
Thursday, January 12, 2006
BAGHDAD, Jan. 11 -- Iraq's most influential Shiite politician said Wednesday that he would not allow a new government to "change the essence" of the country's constitution, despite a promise made to Sunni Arabs that it would be opened to major revision.
The promise of future changes to the constitution had been a key concession to encourage Sunni Arabs to join the political process in Iraq and stop violence. Last summer, Sunnis were ready to walk away from the negotiating table as the country's ruling Shiite and Kurdish coalition wrote a constitution that allowed the creation of strong regional provinces.
In a last-minute deal negotiated under heavy pressure from U.S. diplomats, the three groups agreed that the draft constitution would be put to a national referendum in October as planned but would be open to change for four months after a new government was formed early this year.
But Abdul Aziz Hakim, the leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, the most powerful Shiite party in the ruling coalition, appeared to back away from the constitutional compromise Wednesday.
"The first principle is not to change the essence of the constitution," Hakim said in a speech given during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, according to the Associated Press. "It is our responsibility to form Baghdad provinces and southern Iraq provinces."
A spokesman for Hakim's party confirmed the remarks. "The major points in the constitution were agreed to by all the parties that participated in the drafting of the constitution," Haitham Husseini, the spokesman, said in an interview. "As for changes in the powers, some points or details, these are open to negotiation. However, the main principles which were agreed to by all sides, and approved by the people in a popular referendum, they cannot be touched."
The most difficult issue is whether Iraq will have a strong central government or a federal government composed of largely autonomous regions. The Kurds and Shiites, who live in oil-rich areas, support federalism; the Sunnis, who have little oil in the areas they dominate, fear that the country will break apart and that they will be denied a share of the oil revenue.
While it would be a blow to Sunnis if they were unable to amend the constitution, which voters approved Oct. 15, a Sunni politician said he viewed Hakim's comments as a political ploy.
"I don't know why Mr. Hakim is saying this at this time," said Alaa Makki, a senior member of the Iraqi Islamic Party, the largest Sunni political party in Iraq. "It's time for reconciliation, it's time for negotiation, it's time for participation in the political process."
However, a Western diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was important "to remember that there's a lot of jockeying for political position going on. I think you have to look at the comments people are making as part of that process. Everyone is staking out their position in advance of the announcement of final election results."
Special correspondents K.I. Ibrahim in Baghdad and Saad Sarhan in Najaf contributed to this report.

Raleigh, N.C. — Governor Bev Perdue is taking steps to name a Supreme Court justice before she leaves office in January.
Today she signed an executive order reversing an earlier executive order that required judicial appointments to be vetted by a commission made up of legal experts.
Supreme Court Justice Patricia Timmons- Goodson recently announced she will step down from the court Dec. 17. Perdue's Judicial selection panel would not have time to review her replacement by the time Perdue leaves office on Jan. 5.
The new executive order will allow Perdue to appoint her replacement as well as other judges.
"With respect to all judicial vacancies that currently exist or that may arise between the present date and the end of my term as Governor ... I will exercise my constitutional and statutory authority to fill the vacancies without first receiving nominations from the Commission. However, I plan to consult with individual members of the Commission as I deem appropriate to see their input regarding the qualifications of specific candidates for appointment," Perdue's new order reads. She encourages future governors to keep the commission in place.
Chris Mackey, a spokeswoman for Perdue, said the governor has not chosen a replacement for Timmons-Goodson.
Republicans have been critical of Perdue's move to name a replacement to the court, saying she should leave it to governor-elect Pat McCrory.

Ground Control Systems
In the Network Centric approach, the swarm of Unmanned Aircraft form a mesh network of flying computers, interconnected through the use of a fast Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
The high altitude Command UA contains the WLAN hub, together with a high bandwidth, bi-directional, Free Space Optics link and a bi-directional satellite communications link.
Network Centric Ground Control System
The Satellite Ground Station interfaces the signals with the Internet. This approach enables many users to view the data, as it is gathered by the UA and to direct the operation of the Unmanned Aircraft in response to data, as it is gathered in an interactive manner.

Raytheon improves Unmanned Aircraft 'pilot' awareness
The FALLS CHURCH, Virginia, 1 November, 2006(UPI)
A new remote "cockpit" has been developed to give operatorsof unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) a better view of what is going on around the aircraft.
Raytheon Tuesday unveiled the Universal Control System (UCS), which was built with heavy input from UAV operators and borrowed advanced intuitive interface technology from the high-tech video game industry.
"We took the best-of-breed technologies from the gaming industry and coupled them with our 35 years of command-and-control expertise and developed a state-of-the-art universal cockpit built around the operator," Raytheon's Mark Bigham said at an industry conference outside Washington. " We broke down the operator's tasks and objectives and constructed a system built entirely around them," he added.
From http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/02/raytheon-announces-new-uav-cockpit-setup/
The UCS is arranged in a " wrap-around" fashion, which places the operator in a virtual cockpit that allows for multiple views of what is going on around the UAV and can control multiple aircraft simultaneously.
The goal of the new control system is to reduce the number of accidents involving UAVs. Raytheon said a 2004 study by the Federal Aviation Administration found that operators were a factor in 21 percent of the accidents involving the Shadow UAV and 67 percent of Predator mishaps.
The use of intuitive user technology in the UCS should help operators learn the finer points of flying UAVs and managing the large amounts of flight and intelligence data produced by the aircraft more quickly and with less formal training.

Army fly Unmanned Aircraft spy plane with Xbox 360 controller
November 4th, 2007 by Paul Maunders
from http://www.pyrosoft.co.uk/blog/2007/11/04/army-fly-uav-spy-plane-with-xbox-360-controller/
I was just watching a British Army Jobs advert on Channel 4, and it showed them piloting an unmanned aerial vehicle with an Xbox 360 controller.
I wondered whether this was just for TV, but it seems that US marines have also been spotted controlling an SUGVs (small unmanned ground vehicle) with an XBox controller. It would make a lot of sense as the XBox 360 controller:
- Uses a common USB interface
- Has drivers available for Windows , OS X and Linux
- Has been extensively tested by millions of gamers
- Is perhaps one of the greatest game controllers ever built

text: First time's the charm By Ryan Pritt August 1, 2013 Story Share Chip Ellis Sydney Snodgrass chips on to the 18th green, where she two-putted for par to win the West Virginia Women's Amateur Thursday at Glade Springs. DANIELS, W.Va. - A couple of mistakes with the driver by Sydney Snodgrass opened a back door for Kimberly Eaton.A couple of mistakes with the putter by Eaton closed that door before she could step through.Eaton three-putted both the No. 17 and No. 18 greens, and a 4-foot par putt from Snodgrass on the final hole broke a tie and gave the 17-year-old a one-stroke win Thursday in the West Virginia Women's Amateur championship.Snodgrass, playing in the event for the first time, carded a three-day 5-over 221 at the Resort at Glade Springs.Eaton rallied from five shots back after the 12th hole to take a one-stroke lead after both Snodgrass (double bogey) and Nicolle Flood-Sawczyszyn (triple bogey) made a mess of the 16th.But Snodgrass recovered and finished par-par to pick up West Virginia's top women's golf prize."I was playing well, I was 3 under, then I had two doubles in three or four holes and it kind of got away from me," said Snodgrass, who'll be a senior at Ritchie County High School this fall. "But I knew where I was at all day so I felt comfortable. I knew I was right there, I just had to rely on all the practice I've done and just trust it."For most of the day, Snodgrass was enjoying a two- or three-stroke cushion over Flood-Sawczyszyn, a three-time winner of the State Women's Am.That changed on the 349-yard par-4 14th when Snodgrass' drive went well right into the woods. She was unable to find the ball and was forced to retee. The result was a double bogey, and after Flood-Sawczyszyn made par, the two were tied.Eaton, meanwhile, remained solid despite spending most of the day a handful of shots behind. Her consistency started paying off as she closed to within one after a birdie on 15. That set up the calamity that was the 445-yard par-5 No. 16 as Eaton found the middle of the fairway while Snodgrass went in the woods left and Flood-Sawczyszyn into the woods right.Flood-Sawczyszyn's ball was under a tree and she swung and missed once trying to get it out. She connected with her third shot, only to have it hit a tree and bounce right, further into the woods. From there she was forced to take an unplayable lie and, after a triple bogey, her quest for a fourth championship was all but done."I felt really good about 16 going in, having every one tight," said Flood-Sawczyszyn, who finished two strokes behind Snodgrass and one behind Eaton. "I got on the tee and I don't know what happened."I got under a tree and was trying to decide whether I was going to take an unplayable. I said, 'If I can at least advance this 10 feet, I'm going to have a shot.' But that didn't happen."Snodgrass, meanwhile, was forced to punch out sideways and struggled just to make double bogey. That left Eaton, who suddenly had a one-shot lead on Snodgrass and a two-stroke advantage on Flood-Sawczyszyn after rolling in a par putt. But that one-shot advantage was lost on Eaton, who didn't want to know anyone else's score."I didn't really know where I was," Eaton said. "I knew after [16] that it was going to be close but I didn't really want to find out exactly where I was."Snodgrass did, and she was able to pull even with a solid par on the par-3 17th.After Eaton bogeyed, it left Snodgrass staring down the 18th fairway with a driver in her hand and the entire tournament on her shoulders.Yet she insists she never lost confidence."On the 18th tee we're tied, I'm first up, what am I going to do?" Snodgrass said. "I just have confidence that I'm going to hit my driver well. The last time I hit it I almost hit it out of bounds left, so I had to have confidence in it and come back with it, and that's what I did." As for the putt that won the tournament?"[Swing coach] Sarah [Yost] has this thing where I have to make 100 putts in a row from 3 or 4 feet and that's how long that par putt was," Snodgrass explained. "I've made thousands of these, hundreds even in a row, I was like 'I've got this. I'm just on the putting green listening to my music practicing again.' Just getting into that mindset and making that putt."Snodgrass finished tied for seventh at last year's high school state tournament and earned all-state recognition.She has spent her summer playing at various places around the country and is being courted by several colleges, including Marshall and UAB.While her future is surely bright and Thursday's win was a big one, Snodgrass says all of her recent success is the result of her hard work."I've put in a lot of work and [Thursday's win] just validates that hard work does pay off," Snodgrass said. "When it was 100 degrees out I was out on the range working, and it just validates that."Eaton's even-par effort was Thursday's low round.Reach Ryan Pritt at 304-348-7948, firstname.lastname@example.com, or follow him at twitter.com/Rpritt.

But honestly, would you think Strika would have been as well received as she was if she had her less-than-awesome toy colors? Those show colors on Strika are gorgeous and I'd take her even without Obsidian.
I would've preferred a matched pair wither Cartoon or Toy colours. One of each just doesn't make sense really and is kind of like a shoulder-shrug really.
I was going to make a pun about you taking Strika while Obsidian's back is turned, but I really can't think of a good one which is kind of a rarity actually.

The story of The Chocolate War centers on Jerry and his resistance to the pressures put on him by a group of students in his school called the Vigils, led by Archie Costello.
The Vigils command Jerry to refuse to sell chocolates at an important school fundraiser and Jerry goes along with the command. He refuses to sell chocolates though he is defying the wishes of a frightening teacher, Brother Leon. Jerry staunchly though quietly continues in his refusal.
The Vigils then, influenced by Brother Leon, change their orders to Jerry and tell him to sell chocolates. Jerry refuses and a campaign of harassment, both physical and psychological, is taken up against him.
Jerry continues to resist. He is beaten up. He receives phone calls in the middle of the night. His homework is stolen and his locker at school is ransacked and vandalized. Still he resists.
Finally, Jerry is invited to fight back in a formalized, public venue. The Vigils, led by Archie, arrange to have a boxing match with Jerry pitted against a school bully, Emile Janza. There are special rules to the fight which eventually give way to an all out assault as Janza beats Jerry severely before the fight is stopped.

Many of us will have witnessed the extraordinary powers of TV Supernanny, Jo Frost, and her 'naughty chair' over the most wilful children on earth. But did you know that Supernanny was, in fact, just using a form of Time Out with a fancy name?
Time Out is a very popular method of discipline used by parents because of its simplicity to administer and the results it gets if followed properly. Time Out usually means separating the young offender from what has brought on unacceptable behaviour, so that she can think about what she has done and how she can do better in the future. Time Out is a particularly useful technique for parents who struggle to keep their composure when their offspring misbehave.
Even parents of the most angelic children find that they need to do some punishing. If your child is strong-willed, active
and highly emotional and expressive, you may find you need to do Time Out more than other parents.

Before you read the preview I have to get to some house keeping. Firstly my heart goes out to all of those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11 attacks 10 years ago. Secondly, I'm sorry for all those readers following the NS2 tournament. I've been very slack in doing the matches. I'll try to get it going again soon. That's all, enjoy the preview!
Space Marine is a third-person shooter/action hybrid developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ. It should have been released everywhere by the time this article goes up. I recently downloaded a demo for Space Marine and gave it a few playthroughs. There are two missions to play in the demo. The first had me investigating what the Orks were doing in a particular area. The other had me testing out the jet pack. The first thing I'm going to say is that I have no idea about the Warhammer 40K universe. Secondly I would like to say that when I first heard about this game I didn't think it would be any good. Thirdly, my first opinion on this game was proven wrong after I had played this demo.
Space Marine is set in the Warhammer 40K universe. According to the official Space Marine website "In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine you are Captain Titus, a Space Marine of the Ultramarines chapter and a seasoned veteran of countless battles. A million-strong Ork horde has invaded an Imperial Forge World, one of the planet-seized factories where the war machines for humanity's never ending battle for survival are created. Losing this planet is not an option, but a darker and far more evil threat is lurking large in the shadows of this world. With an Imperial liberation fleet en-route, the Ultramarines are sent in to hold key locations until reinforcements arrive. Captain Titus and a squad of Ultramarine veterans use bolter and chainsword to take the fight to the enemies of mankind." I am sure Warhammer fans will understand exactly what was just said.
As soon as I entered the game I spent the first couple of minutes in awe. Why was I in awe? I was in awe because the first thing I saw was the environment and scenery. The artists have done a great job with setting the mood and the scenes. From the get go I could see that this area was either under siege or destroyed. There was smoke coming from the buildings, fires everywhere and the only inhabitants around were the invading Orks. The textures and character models look great, they aren't the best, the textures look a bit boring and chunky at times, but they come close. A marker on the screen showed me where I had to proceed to. Once I was at my objective the first small cutscene took place. The voice acting in Space Marine is quite good. The characters sounded like they had personality and it didn't sound like it was just someone reading from a script just to get paid. The one issue I had was the volume at which the characters speak compared to the volume of the special effects and music. On the default settings I could barely hear what the characters were saying over the music and effects. Putting the subtitles on didn't really change anything either because they were so small I couldn't read them. I'm pretty sure turning down the music and effects would make speech easier to hear.
After walking down a narrow passage I walked out into a room and pressed A to evade down a flight of stairs. I approached a glowing blue box and saw that there was ammo in it. All ammo boxes in the game are this glowing blue colour so it makes finding ammo easy. The HUD isn't crowded at all which is a nice surprise. In countless games I've had limited vision thanks to the HUD wanting to tell me everything. There is a health bar up the top, your fury meter on the bottom left and your ammo on the bottom right.
After activating a door I ran along a walkway and was about to get my first taste of combat. In the missions I played it became clear what Relic Entertainment is trying to do. They are making you feel strong but not invincible. The health bar looks, and is, bigger than most other games but you see why it has to be like that once you encounter your first group of enemies. To my surprise, there were much more than I expected. Playing on normal I was confronted by about 15 Orks. For most games this would sound like a lot but, in Space Marine, 15 is nothing. To help you defeat your opponents in the world of Space Marine you are armed with ranged and melee weapons. From assault rifles to snipers to a weapon that shoots out grenades that stick to people, this game never leaves you feeling outgunned. For those who want the excitement of tearing through the waves up close, you have a melee weapon at your disposal. Or you could do both! The main thing you have to remember is that your health doesn't regenerate. The only way you can get health back is by executing a stunned enemy.
The controls are simple and easy to master. You use the D-pad to select your weapon. The face buttons are used for melee and to evade. X is your normal melee attack and Y is a stun attack. You can use X and Y to pull off some awesome combos. B is used to execute stunned enemies. You will know when an enemy is stunned because there will be a blue circle around it and the B button will be above it. Just run over to it, press B and watch the blood spray out. Your default melee weapon is the chainsword and your default gun is an unlimited ammo bolt pistol. Holding the left trigger zooms in to a closer view so you can aim your weapon better and the right trigger fires (much like other shooters). The right bumper reloads and the left bumper throws grenades. And as usual the left analogue stick moves and right analogue stick moves the reticule.
Weapon control is easy. The sniper's reticule is quite large for its type of gun, but when you think about who is wielding it, it all feels normal. I'm not that good of a shot with snipers in most games but countless times I found myself switching to the sniper to take out Orks with a head-shot. This made me feel in control. The battlefields that you come across are varied. In the demo I battled Orks in many environments. From small corridors to open fields with a few spots of cover, there is plenty of variety in Space Marine.
Throughout my whole play through I never found my view being obstructed by bad camera angles. Even when in the execution animation I could still clearly see the chainsword shredding through my victim and was able to continue my vicious attacks. One problem with the executions is how long some of the animations take. The problem with this is that while you are in the animation you can still get hit. Getting hit doesn't cancel the animation but you still take damage. A couple of times I was low on health and went into an execution only to be killed in the process.
As I progressed through the demo I came to a large room with a platform surrounding it. In this room a firefight started and I was forced to hold off waves of Orks until a lift arrived. I was not told how long I had to last; all I knew was that I had to survive. After finding a new melee weapon, the power axe, I got to work holding off the Orks. My squad and I were taking heavy fire from the Orks on the platforms above and from the rushing Orks. "Are these waves ever going to stop?" I asked myself. Low on health and surrounded by Orks, I clicked the two analogue sticks in and went into fury mode. In fury mode you can execute enemies without stunning them and everything slows down when you pull the left trigger to aim. Thanks to this ability I was able to survive the wave. A lift came up to collect us and the demo mission ended.
The Orks I encountered in the demo varied. In the one mission I had to fight three different types of Orks and one enemy that acted and looked like the tickers from the Gears of War series. The other enemies varied in size and power. The smaller Orks could be executed without being stunned, the medium sized Orks wield weapons and melee and are the main Ork found in the game. The bigger Orks have strength close to that of the Space Marines. These Orks take a while to kill and can deal some serious damage to you. Going back to my point about Gears of War, a lot of things in Space Marine could be compared to Gears of War. The chainsword could be compared to the chainsaw lancer, the way you select weapons is the same as Gears of War and the basic plot is somewhat similar (you have to defeat an invading force and save human kind), just to name a few. One thing that stands out in Space Marine is the fact that Space Marines make Gears soldiers look like pussies. You don't need to take cover when you have a giant suit of armour, and yet Dom and Marcus can't walk 10 meters without being downed. Talking about going down (that's what she said), when you die in Space Marine there is a message down the bottom of the screen saying something heroic. This makes you feel more like a Space Marine and a warrior loyal to your nation.
In the second mission I got a chance to check out the jet pack. At the start of the mission I found the jet pack hard to control but towards the end I was getting the hang of it. You press A to activate the thrusters and use the left analogue stick to move while in the air. You can shoot while in the air and you can use the melee buttons to pull off some wonderful ground smashes. I would like to add that you can't evade while you have the Jet pack on. It will be interesting to see if the jet pack is implemented into multiplayer. Speaking of multiplayer, I've heard there will be 16 player, class based multiplayer. Can Relic Entertainment find a good mix of melee and ranged combat without players being able to troll or spam certain attacks? We will soon find out. There will also be a co-op mode, called Exterminatus, being put in around October. The mode will be free DLC. This co-op mode will be like hoard and firefight from Gears and Halo. Players will team up with 3 friends as they try to last as many rounds as they can. The mode will be points based and will feature global leader boards. Experienced earned while playing this mode will also count towards your multiplayer ranks, allowing you to level up in co-op and multiplayer.
Closing Comments:
Space Marine is looking to be a good change in the shooter/ action genre. I can see myself putting several hours into the campaign and multiplayer once I get my hands on it. Space Marine will be a fun change for fans of the 40K universe. I believe this is the first time a game of this genre has been made from the franchise.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is out now for PC, Xbox360 and PS3.

'The Jester' Hacks Ecuador Over Snowden: Report
"The Jester," a pro-United States hacker, reportedly has hacked nations supportive of NSA leaker Edward Snowden, it was reported Tuesday.
In an exclusive, Fox News said that The Jester hacked several government websites in Ecuador after it was reported that Snowden might be heading there to seek political asylum. He hacked the country's tourism ministry and stock market home page, the network reported.
The Jester, whose real name has not been disclosed, told Fox that he might target Venezuelan government sites next as Caracas has reportedly expressed interest in hosting Snowden. "These are enemies and that's how I will be treating them, and anyone who facilitates them," The Jester told Fox.
On Tuesday, he tweeted: "There's 52 VENEZUELEN Government servers visible to the internet, including 27 email servers. Who knew?"
The Jester describes himself as a "hacker for good" and says people like Julian Assange of WikiLeaks and Snowden are threats to the U.S.
"As jihadis groom Muslims online to commit acts against us, so [Julian Assange] grooms government personnel like [Army private and accused leaker Bradley] Manning and Snowden to do his dirty work," he said in elaborating on why he chooses to hack.
And on Tuesday, he posted the "Ecuador Embassy London wireless AP's and MAC addresses. Highlighted in RED were NOT present B4." Assange has been holed up in the Ecuador Embassy since last year.
The Jester achieved fame for launching cyberattacks against al-Qaeda websites, WikiLeaks, and Anonymous.
On June 26, he said Snowden was not "hero, here to save Americans from 'the government' because of privacy infringements and breaches of the 4th amendment, he is a traitor and has jeopardized all our lives," according to a blog post.

Hi everyone!
Currently I'm looking for a physical sangha to take part in (not that I don't love DhammaWheel, of course!), but my choices are fairly limited, not from lack of opportunities but more from lack of transport/access.
There's one sangha that looks really good though. It's called Dhamma Gavesi, and it's right outside a train station which is only a quarter-of-an-hour ride away from my local station! Perfectly situated.
Does anybody know much about Sri Lankan sanghas? I only have experience (which in itself is extremely limited!) with Thai sanghas, can I expect any significant differences, cultural or otherwise? I don't know if the teachings are given in English, although the website itself is. I've emailed to clarify.
I myself am not Sri Lankan, and it appears the majority of lay buddhists who go there are; to be blunt, would the fact I'm not Sri Lankan present an obstacle to fitting in?
In any case, I plan on going out and investigating for myself first-hand, but I thought I'd consult with you all nonetheless and see what everybody's thoughts are.
Also, this is a total long shot, but I don't suppose any readers on here happened to be based in Wellington City and attend a regular service at Bodhinyanarama / some other Theravada monastery, and would be willing to carpool with me? That is to say, give me a lift there and back on their way seeing as I don't have a car? Naturally I'd be more than willing to contribute towards petrol money.

Do you suffer from inner elbow pain because of tennis elbow? Tennis elbow, such a short sweet little name for a condition that can cause so much pain, even for people who have never laid their hands on a tennis racket!
Tennis elbow is an inflammation of the outside of the elbow, technically named lateral epicondylitis.
This elbow pain is due to tendonitis and periostitis (inflammation of the outer layer of the bone) where the tendon for the common wrist extensor muscles attaches to the humerus. This results in pain with any activity involving the contraction or moderate stretching of the wrist extensor muscles.
These activities would include writing, typing, lifting objects while the palm is turned down, or using a screwdriver. The pain usually has a gradual onset with no visible swelling. Stiffness or pain in the elbow is usually evident after prolonged periods of rest.
Since tennis elbow affects the straightening of the wrist, you can test for it by lifting a weight, such as a book, with your palm facing down. Any pain in the outside of the elbow suggests you have tennis elbow.
This condition is ultimately due to overuse of the wrist extensor muscles. These muscles attach to the humerus just above the elbow joint on the outside of the elbow. The muscles then continue down the back of the forearm. The tendons then travel across the back of the wrist and hand and connect onto the fingers. These muscles contract to help extend the wrist moving it toward the back of the hand.
Too much tension in the muscle group can also cause a decrease in the joint space in the elbow and actual inflammation of the joint. In time this can cause not just the typical pain from the epicondylitis, but also from the elbow joint itself.
Treatment usually involves taking anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant medication, along with some lifestyle modification. Also used are physiotherapy treatments such as TENS, laser therapy, ultrasound, and interferential current.
Since the elbow joint can get involved, chiropractic manipulation of the joint, for instance using Graston, active release, cross-fiber massage or other soft-tissue therapies, can be very helpful.
By doing a chiropractic adjustment, pressure is taken of the joint by briefly separarting the joint surfaces by just a couple of millimeters. Easing that pressure eases the pain. Sometimes some manipulation of the wrist can also help.
As we have seen, it is tight muscles that cause the elbow pain. But if the wrist tightens up, the muscles have to work harder, thus putting more tension on that lateral epicondyle. So keeping the wrist supple and flexible should help to ease the condition.
The use of a tennis elbow band may also prove effective in decreasing symptoms. This works by forming an artificial origin for the muscle before it crosses the elbow. This allows a decrease in tension of the wrist extensor muscles as they cross the elbow which eases tension on the lateral epicondyle and decreases pressure on the elbow.
Also, though rest would be ideal, there may be times when lifting is needed to be done. In this case, one should only attempt to lift with the palm of the hand turned upward. This uses the wrist flexors more than the wrist extensors.
You can also try supplementing with Vitamin B6 and limiting your salt intake as it helps to reduce the amount of water taken in by the body.
Overall, if you suspect you may have this condition, it is best to have it assessed by your chiropractor and/or medical doctor in order to have the proper treatment plan started that will assist in accelerated recovery.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In recent years, buy-write funds have outpaced the S&P 500 by wide margins. That's hardly surprising. The funds are designed to excel in markets that are flat or down. "If stocks return less than 4% or so, odds are good that we will outperform," says Donald J. Mulvihill, portfolio manager of Goldman Sachs U.S. Equity Dividend and Premium Fund ( GSPAX), which uses buy-write techniques.The buy-write funds aim to avoid big losses in downturns and crank out modest returns in bull markets. Over the long term, buy-write strategies have about matched the S&P 500 while taking less risk. Because they don't always track the overall stock market, buy-write funds can help diversify portfolios. The typical buy-write fund purchases stocks and then sells -- or writes -- call options. A call gives an investor the right to buy a stock in the future for a fixed price. A fund might start by buying shares of International Business Machines ( IBM), which recently traded around $128. Then to generate extra income, the portfolio manager sells a call that gives the buyer the right to purchase the shares for $130 by this October. The investor pays the fund a premium of $3.81 for the call. Why bother spending the cash? The call enables the investor to control the shares without putting up the full price of the stock. Selling the call benefits the fund under most scenarios. Say the stock stays flat. The fund keeps its stock and the $3.81 premium, boosting the return on the IBM holdings. If the shares rise to $140, the fund must the sell the stock to the call buyer, who will only pay the fixed price of $130. The fund misses most of the upside appreciation. But no matter what, the fund collects the premium, which eases any disappointments. Buy-write funds follow a variety of strategies. Some funds only sell calls on part of their portfolios, while other managers sell calls against all their holdings. Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Buy-Write Income ( ETB), a closed-end fund, starts with a stock portfolio that roughly tracks the S&P 500. Then the fund sells S&P 500 index calls against the entire portfolio. This plain-vanilla approach has worked well during the downturn. During the past three years, the fund has returned 3.5% annually, outpacing the S&P 500 by 10 percentage points, according to Morningstar ( MORN). For more downside protection, consider Eaton Vance Risk-Managed Equity Option Income Fund ( EROAX), an open-end fund. The fund sells calls on a portfolio that roughly tracks the S&P 500. Then, for an added layer of protection, portfolio manager Walter Row buys put options. Those serve as insurance, appreciating in value when stocks drop. "With the fund, you don't get a lot of upside, but you don't get much downside either," Row says.

Superfund Site: ABC ONE HOUR CLEANERS
Superfund Site Profile
If you need documents that are not yet 508 compliant, please contact the National 508 Coordinator, Dorothy Semazzi, at email@example.com.
The 1-acre ABC One Hour Cleaners site is located on Lejeune Boulevard in Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina. It includes an area where there was a dry cleaning facility from 1964 to 2005 and a dry cleaning drop-off location from 2005 to 2011. EPA placed the site on the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL) in 1989 because of contaminated groundwater and soil resulting from facility operations. EPA and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) have investigated site conditions and taken steps to clean up the site in order to protect people and the environment from contamination. Site contamination does not currently threaten people living and working near the site. By treating groundwater and soil, placing institutional controls on the site, and conducting required Five-Year Reviews, EPA and NCDENR continue to protect people and the environment from site contamination.

A renowned angur in the time of Taiquinius Priscus. In his boyhood he showed his skill in the art before he had received any instruction ; but after he had been taught by the Etruscans, he excelled all the augurs of his time. The most extraordinary proof of his knowledge of augury is related in the legend of Tarquinius Priscus, This king proposed to double the number of the equestrian centuries, and to name the three new ones after himself and two of his friends, but was opposed by Navius, because Romulus had originally arranged the equites under the sanction of the auspices, and consequently no alteration could be made in them without the same sanction. The tale then goes on to say that the king thereupon commanded him to divine whether what he was thinking of in his mind could be done, and that when Navius, after consulting the heavens, declared that it could, the king held out a whetstone arid a razor to cut it with. He immediately cut it, A statue of Attus was placed in the comitium, on the steps of the senate-house, the place where the miracle had been wrought, and beside the statue the whetstone was preserved. There was a current report, according to Dionysius, that Attus fell a victim to the anger of Tarquin. Attus Navius seems to be the best orthography, making Attus an old praenomen, though we frequently find the name written Attius. (Liv. i, 36 ; Flor. i. 5 ; Aurel. Vict. de Vir.

We report on infrared hollow fiber with low-loss in visible region. Improved methods of silver plating and iodination were proposed to fabricate the hollow fiber. The surface roughness of the silver layer and the silver iodide layer was reduced by the pretreatment with an solution and low iodination temperature. Losses for the Er:YAG and green laser light were 0.4 and . The loss property of green laser beam was low to deliver a pilot beam for the invisible infrared laser light. Owing to the smooth and uniform film, the loss spectrum of the hollow fiber showed clear interference peaks in the visible region. An empirical formula for material dispersion was derived, which is of special importance for the design of high-performance hollow fiber.

Thank you, Jordan, for taking the time to give such a thorough description.
I'd only add that pitches 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6 link without much effort.

Be Careful on the Approach!
In the Talus about 1/2 the way to the bivy I had a loose rock fall and dislocate my ankle. Absolutely devastated any chance at the ascent so be very careful with the bags.

Generally there are fixed lines between guano and Awanhee ledges, and at the base through the 4th class which if you fall, you ain't gonna stop for a few hundred feet.
I would suggest linking 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9. Fast and an easier way to link in my opinion.
good ledges for belays this way too.

|The 20-30' of 5.7 looked more like 30+' of unprotected climbing to me. As I was fully in aid mode at that point, I hooked up to the bolt ladder. With about 4 aid moves on hooks or bad/small gear it felt like C3. It was very easy and secure, though one hook placement was less than incredible (hooking on a dead horizontal ledge instead of over a nice lip). I also feel that no #4 camalot is needed. We brought two but only placed one on pitch ten at the top and that could have been skipped. Great route.

|Linked every two pitches, including 9 and 10 (Holy rope drag! Words can't express the emotional journey it was slogging through the last roof traverse onto the slabby ledge and then to the belay). Backcleaned perhaps less than safely, but man that drag was still terrible. Great memories though.

|What a wall! Linked 1+2, 3+4, 5+6, 8+9 with a 60m. Lots of fixed gear, especially on the upper pitches. Used the cliffhanger hook a few times, sometimes just for fun, but never used the cam hooks. I would recommend bringing doubles in the really small cam range....green/purple C3, black aliens and smaller. Zeros, the tiny grey metolius TCU, and offset brassies were very helpful. Don't forget to give the 2nd enough slack for the lower out on 6 before you fix the line. We also found it expedient for the 2nd to re-aid the roof on 9 and the final traverse on 10 (a few moves each at most). Otherwise you can muscle it. And yes, you can rap straight to the ground with two 60m's from the chains at the end of the chimney system.

|I'm not much of an Aid climbing, but I though this route was cool because it's steep and it never really lets up. We did this climb in a day with an early start during the last week of Feb. It took us about 12 hour from car to bar. We short fixed every pitch except when we switch leaders. With a dark star the fix lines at the base were great.

|My first grade V, went to do it solo and the lines were so long ended up climbing it with another person waiting to do it solo. Went up in two days, crux was the 4th class getting to P1. Great fun climb, but linked it to 5 pitches with a 60, not sure why anyone would want to do it in 10 or whatever the guide says. Later did Lurking Fear on the captain and I thought this was a better climb.

|First attempt at the west face- made it through P1 with first ever hook move which is mandatory. After the hook, placed a green alien, blue alien, then offset metolius orange/yellow. You can tell that fixed gear is missing. There were several parties ahead of us all trying to free the route above the first 2 pitches and this seemed like it was going to make for a crowded ledge. There were lines fixed all the way to the top...

Combination Chemotherapy Compared With Hormone Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent, Stage III, or Stage IV Endometrial Cancer
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Estrogen can stimulate the growth of tumor cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen and megestrol may fight endometrial cancer by blocking the absorption of estrogen. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective than hormone therapy in treating endometrial cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with that of hormone therapy in treating patients who have recurrent, stage III, or stage IV endometrial cancer.
|Endometrial Cancer
|Biological: filgrastim Drug: cisplatin Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride Drug: megestrol acetate Drug: paclitaxel Drug: tamoxifen citrate
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Randomized Phase III Crossover Trial of Chemotherapy (Doxorubicin/Cisplatin/Paclitaxel and G-CSF) Versus Hormonal Therapy (Tamoxifen/Megestrol Acetate) in Patients With Stage III & IV or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer
|Study Start Date:
|May 2001
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2003 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
- Compare the progression-free survival and response of patients with stage III or IV or recurrent endometrial cancer treated with doxorubicin, cisplatin, paclitaxel, and filgrastim (G-CSF) vs tamoxifen and megestrol.
- Compare the survival of patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine if progesterone receptor status provides information on whether patients are more likely to benefit from chemotherapy.
- Compare the toxicity profiles of these treatment regimens in these patients.
- Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, cross-over, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to progesterone receptor status (negative vs positive). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I:Patients receive chemotherapy comprising doxorubicin IV over 15-30 minutes followed by cisplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1; paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 2; and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously beginning on day 3 and continuing for 10 days. Chemotherapy repeats every 21 days for up to 7 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- At time of disease progression, patients cross-over to hormonal therapy as in arm II.
- Arm II: Patients receive hormonal therapy comprising oral megestrol twice daily on weeks 1-3 followed by oral tamoxifen twice daily on weeks 4-6. Hormonal therapy repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
At time of disease progression, if patients have not previously been enrolled on arm I, patients cross-over to receive chemotherapy as in arm I.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline, 6 weeks, time of progression, and then after 6 weeks on cross-over therapy.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 630 patients will be accrued for this study within 42 months.

He was definitely Gokey---with a live wife!
'Til tomorrow!
Loved Jessica HeJan, Phillip, and Adam!
Ain't Love Grand!
Jessica Sanchez, Reed Grimm, Phil Philips and Hee jun are my favorites. Hee Jun is quite a character, too funny but he can really sing.
Ugh! How did Haley Johnsen make it? She was weak! Weakest so far of those who made it tonight. They didn't even show her final solo, was probably really bad but they were obligated to put through at least one pretty girl.
So far I don't like one guy who made it (Creighton Fraker) and I hope Adam Brock doesn't make it which we know he will. I prefer Lauren Gray over a couple of girls who made it so far (Haley Johnsen, Erika Van Pelt)
I also liked Lauren Gray a lot and was surprised they didn't choose her. Plus she is very pretty if that's one of the things they're looking for. I don't get it.
There is going to be some serious competition this year. I think this may be the best top to bottom in a long long time. I hope Danny Gokey Jr. doesn't last a long time, I'm sure he'll make it but maybe it'll be a short stay. And that final performance by Jessica Sanchez was through the roof. 16 years old & that good already, Man oh Man!
We love Joshua, Jen H., Reed, and Jessica...and HeJan (sweating water!)

With a new CBA in place, the free agent signing period will begin. Speaking about free agent activity, New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano and Newark Star Ledger's Mike Garafolo examine the Giants free agency scenarios.
Will the Giants re-sign Ahmad Bradshaw?
Will Osi Umenyiora be given a new contract?
Will the Giants revamp their aging offensive line?
Who will the Giants unload?
Will the Giants sign a linebacker?
Is Kevin Boss going to be resigned? Or will the Giants ink a free agent TE?
Before we can delve into these questions, right now, the Giants have a salary cap dilemma. According to ESPN's John Clayton, the Giants are 11 million dollars over the salary cap. And Ralph echoes Clayton's report: the Giants are over the salary cap. However, Clayton points out if the Giants shed Shawn Andrews salary, the Giants would free up 7.3 million. Look for the Giants to dump Andrews and other veterans to clear up cap space. Thus, this would pave the way for the Giants to sign some of their own players as well as unrestricted free agents. Indeed, Giants GM Jerry Reese has his work cut out for him. In the coming days, before he sniffs around at signing other teams players, he has plenty of work and a short window to reshape his current roster.

Rights groups scorn move to probe killings
Inter-agency panel described as PR stunt
ucanews.com reporter, Manila
January 9, 2013
The first meeting of a "high-level inter-agency super-body" formed by the government to investigate extrajudicial killings and other alleged rights abuses was met with protests yesterday by rights groups and activists.
"The victims and their loved ones have had enough of these extraneous super-bodies that are mere publicity stunts that do not solve human rights violations," said Cristina Palabay, secretary general of rights group Karapatan.
"What's worse is that this body may even attempt to conceal the continuing atrocities, especially in rural areas," Palabay said, adding that the "super-body" which met yesterday is inessential in solving cases of extrajudicial killings.
Government officials, however, are optimistic that the inter-agency body will be able to conduct an inventory of extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearances, torture and other grave human rights violations committed both by state and non-state actors.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said the inventory is being done to prioritize investigations, re-investigations and the monitoring and prosecution of cases.
As of November 30, 2012, Karapatan had documented what it says were 132 victims of extrajudicial killings and 12 victims of enforced disappearances under the administration of President Benigno Aquino.
In a statement, Karapatan said the wave of illegal arrests and detention of 29 people accused of being communist rebels last month is "a reason for alarm."
The group said it expects incidents of illegal arrest, extrajudicial killings and other rights violations to escalate as the mid-term elections draws near.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the resources and capacity of emergency trauma care services in three Peruvian cities using the WHO report Guidelines for Essential Trauma Care. This was a cross-sectional study in eight public and private healthcare facilities in Lima, Ayacucho, and Pucallpa. Semi-structured questionnaires were applied to the heads of emergency departments with managerial responsibility for resources and capabilities. Considering the profiles and volume of care in each emergency service, most respondents in all three cities classified their currently available resources as inadequate. Comparison of the health facilities showed a shortage in public services and in the provinces (Ayacucho and Pucallpa). There was a widespread perception that both human and physical resources were insufficient, especially in public healthcare facilities and in the provinces.

text: Hi, I have a 99' mobius with a factory ballast in the rear ski locker. The factory system is two plastic tanks one in front, one behind that total about 350#s. The system has one fill that fills both tanks at the same time and two drains that work seperately. There is also a side output that is used to bleed all the air out. I took the carpet off my ski locker and watched as it fills and noticed that water will come out or both drains and the air output (Which I would normally assume means it is full) long before the front tank is completley full. causing it to take even longer to completly fill because it is draining water that could be used for filling. How can I tell if the tanks are full once the carpet is back on? And is this normal operation? All input is welcome. Thanks

Yesterday, Hewlett-Packard unveiled a new wireless data chip smaller than a grain of rice that can, the company said, provide broad access to digital content in the physical world. Developed by the "Memory Spot" research team at HP Labs, the new microchip is a CMOS device smaller than 1.4 millimeter square with an antenna built right onto its silicon and enough writable memory and data access speed to make it capable of tackling real-world applications that RFID chips can only aspire to.
The HP announcement claimed that the Memory Spot chip could find use in the future in such varied functions as: storing medical records on a patient's wristband; fighting counterfeit pharmaceuticals; and adding security to identity cards and passports. The Memory Spot transfers data at 10 megabits per second and early prototypes store as much as half a megabyte of data, enough to capture a very short video clip, according to HP. Corresponding read-write devices for the technology can be built into electronics ranging from cellphones to cameras to PDAs—which also power the tiny chip through inductive coupling.
"The Memory Spot chip frees digital content from the electronic world of the PC and the Internet and arranges it all around us in our physical world," said Ed McDonnell, the chip's project manager at HP Labs, in Bristol, England.
The minute size of the Memory Spot enables it to be used on almost anything, especially in the form of self-adhesive dots. It varies from its well-known cousin, the RFID chip, in size, speed, and capacity. However, unlike RFID, which has a transmission range of about 15 feet (ideal for inventory tracking), the Memory Spot has a range of about 1 mm, which means they must practically come into physical contact with their reader-writers. This limits some applications but increases privacy and security.
"We are actively exploring a range of exciting new applications for Memory Spot chips and believe the technology could have a significant impact on our consumer businesses, from printing to imaging, as well as providing solutions in a number of vertical markets," Howard Taub, HP vice president and associate director of HP Labs, said.
He told the media that he expects the brainy little chips to initially retail for about a dollar (U.S.) apiece and that HP could scale up manufacturing to mass produce units in about two or three years, at which time the price point could eventually fall to as little as ten cents.
That's a lot of computing in something the size of a grain of rice—for a few pennies.
