FSL Trust Making the Best of It in Q3 2013
Despite a caveat by auditors as to whether FSL Trust may continue as a going concern, due to the conditions of a loan covenant, the ship-owning trust has continued to ensure that its vessels have generated a return in the third quarter of 2013.
The Trust suffered a 3QFY13 loss of US$8.9 million. This was partly due to recognition of an impairment loss of US$3.6 million caused by the lease defaults for two dry bulk carriers.
Bareboat charter revenue fell 23.6% YoY to US$13.9 million from US$18.3 million due to the payment default of US$3.0 million for two crude oil tankers, FSL Hong Kong and FSL Shanghai, and of US$1.5 million for two dry bulk carriers, Stella Fomalhaut and FSL Durban, which were redelivered to the Trust in October 2013.
The Trust remains cashflow positive with 3QFY13 net cash generated from operations of US$7.6 million. As at 30 September 2013, cash and cash equivalents stood at US$18.1 million. No distributions have been declared for 3QFY13.
Regarding a possible breach of financial covenants
The report states that as of 30 September 2013, the Trust may be in breach of the financial covenants under its loan agreement and management is still in ongoing discussions with the lenders to clarify the position and to seek a longer and deeper covenant relaxation.
Accordingly, the Trust's loan balance has been reclassified from long term to current liabilities, resulting in the deficiency in net current assets amounting to US$373.0 million as at 30 September 2013. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Trust's portfolio of vessels continues to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the scheduled debt and interest repayments.
Alan Hatton CEO of FSLTM commented:
"The third quarter has been challenging, primarily due to the defaults in relation to two aframax oil tankers and two handymax dry bulk carriers. The Trust has ensured that despite these defaults, the vessels have continued to generate a return. The defaults affect both revenues and costs, as it has been expensive to change technical management and upgrade the vessels to our standard. These costs will also impact the fourth quarter due to the timing of expenditures.
The short term focus is to address the ongoing issues and clarify the position of the lenders following the first covenant relaxation in June 2012 and to optimise earnings on the nine vessels that FSL Trust now has operational control over. Going forward, there is scope to improve cash generation and the Trust remains able to service its scheduled debt and interest payments."

Tell A Young Person Today…
I don't have any teenagers (my daughters are four and seven) but I've worked with them as a teacher and youth director for nearly twenty years. In my opinion, they are the warmest, kindest, funniest, most positive, generous, creative, enthusiastic, and selfless people I've ever encountered.
The problem is that, unfortunately, we don't tell them how awesome they are nearly enough. It's hard being a parent of a child at any age, but especially the teenage years. But as hard as it is for you, remember how much harder it is for them. Young people today are experiencing things today you and I could never have even begun to dream about when were kids. The Internet, cell phones, and social media are useful and even necessary things these days. But they've opened up our youth to a world of dangers.
So tell that young person in your life (doesn't have to be a teen necessarily!) that you love them, that they're awesome (use specific examples!), that you're there for them and that you support them. And then repeat those same things tomorrow. And the next day. Knowing you feel this way (even if it's not easy for you to say!) will make a world of difference in their struggles.

What car tax
Acknowledgements: Nic Fasci and Iain Ross
This month (March, 2006) has seen the new car tax bands announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown. Bless him - from what was once a nice, simple to understand single-rate tax system, we're now faced with no less than 22 different tax bands! How does your MG fit into the scheme of things?
The new tax system and Pre-2001 MGFs
Did you know?
Interestingly, even if the 1.6 litre MGF had been launched ahead of the arbitrary March 2001 cut off point, it would still be in the same taxation bracket at its larger-engined brethren - the actual capacity of the 1.6 litre is 1588cc!
Easiest to understand are MGFs built and registered prior to March 1st, 2001.
All MGFs built prior to this date were 1.8 litre models - and thus come into the over 1549cc taxation bracket - i.e. Ј175 per annum (price correct at the time of the 2006 budget). That represents a modest Ј5 per annum increase in
the tax bill over the previous year for owners of early MGFs.
The new tax system and Post-2001 MGF and TFs
Thereafter, things get a good deal more complicated - as the cars now become banded according to exhaust emissions - principally CO 2 - the most significant "green-house" gas emitted by internal combustion engines.
Since March, 2001, engines have been homologated to assess the CO 2 output per kilometre travelled. Clearly, less economical cars will have a far higher CO 2 rating (which is recorded as grams per kilometre g/km), and more economical vehicles, a lower CO 2 rating. There are now 6 tax bands according to these emissions - with a seventh being added this year for heavily polluting vehicles (that happily, does not include any model in the MGTF range).
The ratings for all MGF and TF models are mentioned here. but effectively, there are just two tax-bands that effect the MGF/TF - bands E and F.

Budget airline Ryanair has opened a new Paris-Disney airport... 90 miles from Paris and 70 miles from Disneyland.
The new terminal, a former disused military airbase in eastern France, is nearer the Belgian border than the Eiffel Tower and closer to the Somme battlefields than the Disney theme park.
It will take holidaymakers at least an hour to reach the outskirts of Paris by car or bus, and up to another hour through traffic to get to the centre of the city or the gates of Disneyland.
Officially called Paris-Vatry-Disney, Ryanair describes the new airport as the "ideal gateway to the capital and Disneyland Paris". Currently passengers can only fly there from the UK if they are prepared to go via Marseille, Porto or Stockholm.
Direct flights from the UK will only start if the new airport proves sufficiently lucrative.
Defending the airport, Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary said: "I have myself driven from Vatry to Paris in just over an hour."
EasyJet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou has previously derided Ryanair as flying "from nowhere to nowhere".

Fantastic finishes
Mike White | 1:30 a.m. Sat., Sept. 12, 2008
Notes, thoughts and anecdotes after the third Friday of the season.
Two of the best finishes you'll see in high school football. On the same night. And only a few miles apart.
What are the chances. But that's exactly what happened last night when host Bethel Park defeated North Hills, 27-26, on the final play of the game. Quarterback Erik Olson hit John Schademan with a 16-yard touchdown pass for the winning points.
Meanwhile, just a short drive down Route 19, Upper St. Clair's Alex Park hit Austin Everett on an 8-yard touchdown pass on the final play of the game to give the Panthers a 30-28 victory against North Allegheny.
The North Hills-Bethel Park game was controversial. The game appeared to be over moments before the touchdown when Olson was intercepted by North Hills' John Iovito with no time left on the clock. But officials called a pass interference penalty on North Hills. A game can't end on a defensive penalty, so Bethel Park got another chance at the 16-yard line. That's when Olson hit Schademan.
I covered the game and didn't have a clear view of the interference play because it was away from the ball. But let's just say this: You have to wonder about a call when even the opposing coach questions it. That's what Bethel Park coach Jeff Metheny did after the game, saying he perfectly understood why North Hills was so upset.
Closer to 4,000
East Allegheny's Monte Ashby rushed for 321 yards and moved closer to 4,000 for his career. Ashby now has 3,586. He rushed for 1,040 as a sophomore at Duquesne and 2,048 last year at East Allegheny.
Pinpoint passers
Seneca Valley's C.J. Brown and Sto-Rox's Paul Jones once again proved why they are two of the best quarterbacks in the state. Brown completed 13 of 16 for 266 yards and Jones 16 of 20 for 248 yards.
Brown has now thrown for 874 yards and Jones 764. That's impressive, but their accuracy has been most impressive. Brown has completed 65 percent of his passes and Jones 70 percent.
Check this out
* Canon-McMillan's Mike Hull led WPIAL Class AAAA in rushing last year and had 138 yards against Woodland Hills. Hull will most likely be offered Division I scholarships in the future, but look for him to be recruited mostly at linebacker.
* It's looking like McKeesport might be the best bet to maybe give No. 1-ranked Gateway a game. McKeesport has been awfully impressive, going 2-1. The loss was in overtime, 14-7, to Colerain, Ohio. Colerain is ranked among the top 25 teams in the country.
McKeesport has now outscored opponents, 129-21, and what the Tigers did to Connellsville in the first quarter last night borders on ridiculous. McKeesport led, 48-0, after the first quarter. How does a team give up 48 points in the first quarter. Connellsville has now been outscored, 168-14.
* Ambridge announced it will play the rest of its home games Friday nights. Due to construction at the school, Ambridge played its season opener on a Saturday afternoon and there was a possiblity the Bridgers might have to play more Saturday games.
Fifteen years ago, if it rained as much as it did yesterday, there would have been muddy games everywhere. But with so many schools now having turf fields, it was a much cleaner night.
Looking ahead
Top games for next Friday are Upper St. Clair at Central Catholic, Ringgold at Thomas Jefferson, Woodland Hills at Bethel Park and Aliquippa at Beaver.

Sun City residents shine at state pageants
Sun City is the perfect place for Diamond Riegel to do anything she wants — including reinvent herself in many ways.
"What brought me here was the fact that I could literally be Dorothy in ruby slippers on the yellow brick road because there's so much to do," said Riegel, a 16-year resident. "I just love everything about where I live."
Riegel and her husband Michael, who she met 35 years ago on the dance floor, moved from New York to the Lowcountry to escape high taxes and "cold, cold winters."
Three years ago, Riegel took home the title of Ms. Senior South Carolina in a state pageant. She had no previous experience in pageants, but has many years of experience as a performer.
"I was an entertainer," Riegel said. "I was a female band leader for large orchestras that did big social events for 22 years. I had a lot of background experience with just being in the limelight and on the stage."
Riegel organized parties for Billy Joel, Sara Lee and Howard Stern in her entertainment years in New York.
Becoming Ms. Senior South Carolina was an unconventional process, she said. South Carolina pageant winners from previous years interviewed the contestants and each was asked to perform a talent. The previous queens then huddled together to choose the winner.
The Brooklyn-born Riegel chose belly dancing as her performance, a talent she has been cultivating for many years. This month, she will dance for 150 people for an upcoming talent show through her synagogue.
"I've been belly dancing professionally since I was 30 years old," Riegel said. "Then I taught it here in Sun City for quite a few years. Who would have thought that at 73 years old I would still be putting on a belly dancing costume? I absolutely love it."
In October 2011, Riegel went on to compete in the pageant finals for Ms. Senior America in Atlantic City, N.J., where she bonded with many of the contestants from 40 states. Though she did not win, she was glad to share the experience with so many other women who had incredible talents.
The purpose of Ms. Senior America is to grant women 60 years and older an opportunity to display their inner beauty, talents, elegance and achievements. The pageant encourages women to fulfill their potential and share their wisdom, life experience and positivity with others.
The national nonprofit Senior America, Inc. was founded in 1971. Sponsors and volunteers keep the pageant running.
"The pageant was formed when Al Mott thought senior citizens were rather bleak in the media," said Marti Skarupa, a resident of Sun City and Ohio. She won the Ms. Senior Ohio pageant in 2013. "He recognized that senior citizens have given so much to their families and communities that he decided to highlight all of those wonderful, positive aspects in a pageant format."
Skarupa retired in 2006 and has been spending her winters in South Carolina and summers and falls in Ohio.
"I was always very active in volunteer work so I continued that volunteer work in South Carolina," Skarupa said. "When I'm in Sun City I'm very active in medicine, spent time as a medical interpreter, worked for Heroes on Horsebacks, Habitat for Humanity and the Sun City Community Theater."
Riegel owns her own interior decorating company, a job she cherishes.
"I'm going out of this life kicking and screaming and having as much fun as I can and doing no harm and helping people," Riegel said. "That's what makes me happy. All you have is where you are right now. … Maybe I'll reach someone and inspire them to try out for Ms. Senior South Carolina, I'll put them in touch with the right people. I hope to inspire someone to try something new that they never thought they could do."
Ms. South Carolina Senior America 2013 was Beverly Thiel, vice president of Sun City's Sundancers club. She has been a resident since 2007.

Turns out the problem he mentioned was the same as every rom(except 2 made for xt1033) on xt1033
1.Rom taking time to set up network
2.Not able to receive call even when the ring is going.
Happened with me on every rom except with Paranoid android and Cm11 for xt1033
So what to do?
In the thread mentioned above are the simple steps for doing it
(Now please read the full thread before reading down)
1. First step is to open the .zip of your custom ROM you want to edit, and search for system/framework/telephony-common.jar
2. Extract it to AndroidMultitool/Files, and after extract is done, delete it from .zip
3. Open Android Multitool, under Decompiling select .jar, then select telephony-common.jar in AndroidMultitool/Files, click "decompile"
4. After you're done, check if there were any errors in the Log, in AndroidMultitool main window
5. Head over to AndroidMultitool/Decompiled_jar/telephony-common/com/android/internal/telephony and look for X3RIL.smali. This is CM's RIL implemented in custom roms, which we dont need anymore, so delete it
6. Now, you need to decide wether to use X3RIL_old.smali, which is RIL from EPRJ CM10.2 built on 20130813, or X3RIL_new.smali which is RIL from EPRJ CM10.2 built on 20131007. I'm using 20131007 atm, and it's working without issues
7. When you've decided, move it back into AndroidMultitool/Decompiled_jar/telephony-common/com/android/internal/telephony and rename it to X3RIL.smali
8. Back in AndroidMultitool, under Compilin, select jar, and for folder select AndroidMultitool/Decompiled_jar/telephony-common, press "compile", and check for errors in Log
9. Output should be classes.dex file under AndroidMultitool/Compiled_jar
10. Open telephony-common.jar in AndroidMultitool/Files with WinRar - you should see META-INF folder, with classes.dex file
11. Delete classes.dex file in WinRAR
12. Move classes.dex file from AndroidMultitool/Compiled_jar to telephony-common.jar opened in WinRAR
13. Paste telephony-common.jar into system/framework inside the custom rom .zip file
14. You now have modified ROM ready to flash on our device!
I wanted pacrom to work and there was no
X3RIL.smali so i used RIL.smali from the cm11 made doubleprank's telephony-common.jar
On decompiling there was also an org folder so i pasted that as well
Done all the steps and i got a phone fc
Now what should i do ahead
Anyway i have attached all the telephony.jars of all roms i have for testing

Extension of continental crust at the margin of the eastern Grand Banks, Newfoundland
Harm J.A. Van Avendonk , Institute for Geophysics, Jackson School of Geosciences, UT-Austin
Seismic and gravity observations from the rifted margin of the eastern Grand Banks, Newfoundland, support a new model for extension of the continental crust from the shelf edge to ODP Site 1277, where mantle rocks are exhumed. We find that the largest decrease in crustal thickness, from about 28 km to 6 km, occurs beneath the continental slope of the Grand Banks over a distance of just 20 km. This rapid decrease in crustal thickness coincides with anomalously high seismic velocities (7.0-7.2 km•s-1) in the lower crust of the shelf edge. The thin crust of the continent-ocean transition (COT) in this area has a smooth basement surface, void of upper crustal blocks and prerift sediments.
We compare our geophysical results with a geodynamical model that represents rifting of a relatively hot continental lithosphere and with another numerical model that represents rifting of a cold lithosphere. Both geodynamic models suggest that crustal thinning beneath the continental slope was achieved by extensional faulting in the upper crust and ductile shear zones in the middle crust. The geodynamic models provide an explanation for the formation of distinct continental slopes at rifted margins: Beneath the continental shelf of the Grand Banks, the Moho and the strong lower crust show a dip of 50ş without visible internal deformation.
A comparison of our numerical models with the seismic refraction data suggests a tectonic coupling between the strong lower crust and mantle in the final stages of rifting, which led to strain localization just seaward of the modern continental slope. The cold extension model extends the continental crust to a thickness smaller than 10 km over a width of 50 km in the distal margin, similar to what we inferred at the eastern Grand Banks. This model requires about 23 Myr of extension before continental breakup, and it predicts a small degree of melting in the mantle (13%). These numbers are applicable to Newfoundland-Iberia rift.

Alicia Keys, looking glamorous in grey Dolce & Gabbana, was positively radiant on the red carpet Thursday night, no doubt due to her momma-to-be glow! You can look luminous too, courtesy of gorgeous makeup and here to reveal how, is Celebrity Makeup Artist Napoleon Perdis.
"My career long mantra has been 'not to prime is a crime,'" says Napoleon, who has worked with Serena Williams, Leighton Meester and Debra Messing. "To prep your skin, always start with a primer like my Auto Pilot Pre-Foundation Skin Primer. This creates an amazing base for your foundation to glide over and ensures that your makeup lasts throughout the day."
Here are Napoleon's how to's for every skin tone.
Face: Balance the complexion with my new Sheer Genius Liquid Foundation. It ensures a luminous coverage and blends flawlessly into skin. The key to perfecting your foundation application, is to blend with a foundation brush to the feature focus areas of the face. For additional freshness and glow to the skin, blend in a liquid bronze luminizer like my NP Set Liquid Veil in Houston.
Cheeks: For that glowing-from-within appearance, I'm all for cream-based products. Apply a creamy, warm, pink blush, like my Barely Blushing in Barely Rouge to the apples of the cheeks, and then lightly tap in and blend around the hairline.
Eyes: I start and end every look with mascara. This helps to frame the eye and map the rest of your makeup look. Blend together shades of brown to heighten and define the eyes. Use an eye palette like my Prismatic Eye Shadow Quad in 5. Blend the medium champagne shade as a base, the shimmering coco brown for the lids, and the chocolate dark brown for the crease.
Lips: For a pop of color in a coral shade, use my DeVine Goddess Lipstick in Hara. I like to line lips last to perfect the look and add definition where necessary. Line the lips with my Lip Pencil in Terracotta, filling the lip for extra depth. Finish the lip look with a warm, shimmering gold base gloss like my Luminous Lip Veil in Gold & The Beautiful.
Face: Work a velvet matte finish into the skin by using my Foundation Stick and a finishing powder like my NP Set Pasarella Powder Foundation. To address uneven pigment, try selecting two foundation shades that best match the lighter and darker areas of your complexion. Apply powder on the forehead, nose and front of the cheeks, but keep the cheekbones free from powder to allow a natural highlight.
Cheeks: For a flattering flush of color use shades in plums and burgundies. Sweep the powder blush across the apples of the cheeks and gently along the cheekbone for contour.
Eyes: Apply a deep earth brown liner onto the upper and lower lash lines as well as outer corner of the eye to build the structure of the eye. I suggest using my China Doll Gel Eyeliner in Earth. For the color feature, use an emerald and dark khaki eye palette and start by blending the khaki color on the outer corner of the eye like my Color Discs in Arabian Nights. Then sweep the emerald shade on the center of the eye lid like my Loose Eye Dust in Emerald City for a pearly, iridescent finish.
Lips: Since the eyes are such a strong statement, opt for a more neutral lip. A creamy lip shade in a warm pink like my NP Set Lipstick in Athens is the perfect match. Layer on a complimenting gloss like my Luminous Lip Veil in Sugar Plum and line to give a natural shine, and then use a lip pencil in mocha to keep lipstick in place.
Face: Keep shine in check and even out skin by using a matte foundation like my China Doll Foundation. Create contour and dimension to the face, working a reflective bronze base cream to the high points of the face such as at the top of the cheek bone, brow bone, and along the length of the nose. I recommend using my Bronze Luminizer Foundation Stick.
Eyes: Start with a coat of mascara to map the rest of your makeup look. If your lashes are naturally curly, opt for a mascara with thickening and lengthening properties to enhance the curl. Define your brows with a brown pencil—black can look too harsh on any hair color. Line the eyes with a black gel liner on the inner rim and upper lash line. Then work deep charcoals and silvers on the eyes. Start by using a black shade around the lash line and a charcoal shade on the lid. I love the combination of my Color Disc shadows in Midnight Express and Gunmetal Glam for this sultry look.
Cheeks: Apply a flattering berry-colored cream stain on the apples of the cheeks or for a powder option, use my Color Disc in All That Shiraz.
Lips: I suggest using a merlot cream lipstick on the lips like my DeVine Goddess Lipstick in Zoe, but don't fill in the lips completely on the bottom center of the lip. Instead, use a pink or ruby gloss to create full lips with a touch of shine. To finish up your lip look, always apply liner last – this way the liner will glide on smoothly, leaving a more natural outline and the color won't bleed. Try my Lip Pencil in Plum Role.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Why Blaugrana Will Roll to SuperCopa TitleAugust 22, 2012
Real Madrid should try and enjoy themselves while taking on FC Barcelona in El Clasico, because they are not going to win.
Regardless of the sport, a side needs to have its best players perform in the biggest matches. Los Blancos have a few players of note, but there are problems that will keep them from being competitive with Barca.
Not all of the concerns stem from who will be present and able to go. The psychological signs of a certain player also points in favor of the chaps in red and blue.
That Lionel Messi is Pretty Good
The Chicago Bulls of the 1990s won because they had Michael Jordan. The Brazilian team of the 1994 World Cup boasted Ramario playing at the top of his game. That is where Lionel Messi currently finds himself. He has garnered every serious individual award and is still only 25-years-old.
Are there even words to use to describe a player who finished up club competition last year with a whopping 73 goals? How about when he tacks on 29 assists as well? And let's not forget the three goals and two assists he provided during the 2011 matchup with Los Blancos in this very competition.
Yet, the scariest part is that he isn't alone.
David Villa is Back and isn't Scared of the Big Stage
In case you've missed it, Villa is back and at it like an addict. He missed the last eight months with a broken leg and returned in style by notching a goal.
A healthy Villa gives Barca another finisher to pair with Messi's creativity. Consider the previous problem compounded.
No Pepe Doesn't Mean No Problem
Now things start to get down right horrific for the club from the capitol.
Not only will they face off against a potent offensive attack, they will do so without their best defender.
Pepe will not be cleared to play after a nasty head collision with his keeper during the season opener. The previously mentioned players will surely exploit his absence as Los Blanco struggle in games without Pepe, failing to win once out of four matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo Doesn't Seem in Form
One game does not define a season, but when it's all we have to go on, observations and extrapolations can be made.
Ronaldo, by all accounts, looked listless in the match against Valencia. There doesn't appear to be a reason to sound out a warning at this time. However, Real Madrid needs everyone hitting on all cylinders to have a chance. Ronaldo isn't quite there yet.
For all these reasons, Barca supporters can begin to revel in another SuperCopa championship at the expense of their rival.

My Open Invitation for a Spot on "The Big Break: Disney"
That's right. I'm putting myself out there. Like Bill Simmons did with the Milwaukee Bucks and Spencer Pratt did with that "I'm a Celebrity So Hear Me Yell Really Loud" television show, I'm ready.
What spawned this? Well, Andrew Giuliani is on it, and I am not a huge fan of Mr. Giuliani because he seems like a word that rhymes with frouche. If he wins "The Big Break" he will get a spot in a PGA Tour tournament, which makes me a little frustrated.
How else to stop the man from obtaining his goal than to compete against him on this very television show?
I have to admit -- I've watched about 11 seconds of "The Big Break" in my life, and most of that was to see how attractive Blair O'Neil was. That doesn't matter. I once nearly found myself on a reality television show where they tape random strangers getting drunk, so I think I'm qualified. If that isn't enough, here are some other highlights.
-- Once won a Texas Junior Golf Tour tournament by shooting a 78 (And, for some unknown reason, still have the winning scoreboard on the back of my door at my parent's home in Texas)
-- Won straightest driver at the Purdue Golf Camp in 2000 (I fear the gay jokes are coming)
-- I once shot a 62
-- I have a pig headcover for my driver
-- I am the golf editor at FanHouse, so that makes me fairly golf qualified
-- I'm really good at driving golf carts while talking and drinking beer
-- I used to caddie at the Old Course in St. Andrews
-- I did not sue a top-tier university because they kicked me off the golf team
So, there you have it, Golf Channel. I'm ready for the call, so if you need someone to help boost your ratings AND not let Giuliani win, you've got your man.
Gauntlet, meet the ground.

If you get on, I am watching. I too, have watched 11 seconds of the Big Break to see if she was hot. Just the same, I am also very good at drinking beer and driving golf carts.
I don't know about the straightest driver thing.

Hello everyone,
I am appealing to all of the dual kitty households out there who have had experience with introducing additional kitties in a household. Here's a little backstory: My DH and I recently had to put our Emma to sleep three months ago due to kidney failure. She was a one cat only cat, to my dismay. I've always wanted to have more than one but didn't want to stress out Emma. Fast forward two months later, and we adopt Abby, a four month old kitten. We had also adopted another kitty, Nina, when we adopted Abby. Unfortunately, Nina was sick and passed away after only four days with us.
So five weeks later, we adopt a beautiful dilluted tortie, Suki, to keep Abby company. I've kept them separate, but the first time we tried to introduce Abby to Suki, Abby went and left a big steaming pile of [email protected] on the carpet. Now my husband loves cats, but he simply CANNOT tolerate cats who pee and poop on the carpet. Shortly after Nina passed away, he found some poop messes in an upstairs bedroom. He got mad, ripped out the entire carpet and put wood flooring in. Needless to say, Abby pooping on the carpet did not go well. This morning after I went and petted Suki, I caught Abby peeing on the piece of the carpet that she soiled last night. I went home for lunch to check on them and while I was secluded and visiting Suki, she left another stinky pile. (I haven't told my DH this yet)
If this continues, I am afraid that my DH will tell me to get rid of the cats. He enjoys them, but will not tolerate the house becoming a big litter box. While I get upset, it doesn't bother me as much; I just clean up the mess and go on. I just plain love cats and enjoy having them around.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this behaviour as quickly as possible? I do NOT want to take Suki back to the humane society after a week. The two cats are separated during the day, and we let them spend a few minutes together at night and then separate them. If Abby even gets wind that we are in the same room as Suki, she gets jealous. Right now, Abby is 4.5 months, Suki is 3 months. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I do not want to lose my kitties. They are two of the most adorable kittens; it's simply that the alpha female cannot tolerate the new female. I thought introducing kitties was easier than older cats; most of the cat books suggest getting them a playmate when kittens.
Sorry about the length; thanks for taking the time to read this.

Killeen Daily Herald
Nino Etienne should consider a job as a travel agent once he graduates college.
For a man who has taken up residence in at least three countries (Panama, Korea, U.S.) before his 22nd birthday – none through contractual obligation – Etienne has let his basketball Jones help him acquire a basketball pedigree that most people would only accept if they were receiving a six-figure salary.
The 6-foot-3 guard-forward from Harker Heights currently plays for Texas Wesleyan, a private college in Fort Worth. His team also happens to be the defending NAIA Division I champions in men's basketball. Etienne has a diamond-encrusted ring to prove it, but chooses to keep it tucked away so as not to draw focus from his current Ram teammates.
When you say a four-letter acronym describing basketball, people generally assume NCAA. Etienne has gone that route, but decided that it's not the only satisfying path to hoops nirvana.
"My freshman year of college (2003-04), I was recruited by Baylor to come join their club," Etienne recalled. "I was attending the U.S. military prep school and (Baylor) along with a couple of other D-I schools recruited me to come in mid-term to join their program."
"What the (Baylor) coaches were feeding me, it sounded so nice. Going from prep school to playing in the Big 12, where I could be watched on TV, that was like a dream come true. I knew I wasn't suited for the military lifestyle and it was close to family (father Luis was stationed back at Fort Hood) where I knew I'd get support."
It seemed like an easy fit. Scott Drew was a first-year coach for the program and in dire need for good athletes to fill the roster. Etienne was a standout performer for Army Prep averaging 33 points a game. He'd also been a high school standout locally for Harker Heights High School and, after moving overseas in a military move with his family, was named All-Korea his senior year in high school.
"Nino was my silent assassin," Knights head coach Celneque Bobbitt recalled. "He was very strong to the basket. I had he and Jejuan Plair (an all-conference performer now at Sam Houston State) on the same squad. They were both very similar. They were each very humble; their games spoke for themselves."
Perception and reality proved to be a bad mix. Etienne left for Baylor in January and although he played in eight games, was only able to make a minimal contribution, getting only spare playing time. When he met with the Bear coaching staff after the season, his hopes were sunk even more.
"My last meeting with Baylor, they told me that most of the playing time at my position would go to incoming players," Etienne said. "I didn't agree with that because I felt I could do more. I began to feel like I didn't fit."
"It seemed to become more like a business experience: Things that were promised now were not promised."
So, although disappointed, Etienne remained resourceful.
"I learned to adjust at an earlier age. I wasn't recruited by anyone after high school so I promoted myself. So I began to look around at other programs."
Texas Wesleyan became a real possibility shortly. Why?
"I wanted somewhere I could play right away," said Etienne. "I talked to the coaches and decided to give it a chance.
"It was a step down but I was happy as long as I got a chance to play."
Wesleyan was not distinguished in any athletic tradition, but the close proximity to Central Texas satisfied one of Etienne's priorities: family.
"Family comes first," he said. "My father had been on single deployments to San Antonio, El Paso and Germany, which limited his chance to see my games. I wanted to finish school in Killeen but I knew my family would all be together if he left for overseas. I knew I couldn't say no but my father had the decency to ask me (my decision)."
Etienne's father, Luis, says his son's attitude didn't surprised him.
"We have always been a very tight-knit family," says Luis. "Nino grew up looking up to his older brother who is a West Point graduate. That's why he went to the military academy."
Etienne averaged seven points and five rebounds per game his first season but was a breakout performer his junior year, averaging 11 points and seven rebounds. He was named second-team all-conference and had a 59 percent field goal percentage, recognized as the highest career percentage of any Wesleyan player ever.
Even though his team had a 20-win season and five all-conference performers, Wesleyan was seeded 27th out of 32 teams invited to the NAIA national tournament. The Rams exceeded their seeding, rolling past all five opponents, the final one dropped on a last-second three-pointer to secure the first-ever national championship for the school.
This obscure college was suddenly being feted with numerous awards and honors. There were resolutions and proclamations from two city councils, the Texas state Senate and the United State Congress. Even President George W. Bush sent a letter of commendation.
"I couldn't believe we'd won something like that," said Etienne. "A lot of people don't know what NAIA is, but people who do respected what we had accomplished. Talent, hard work and a little luck went into this and I feel special every time I put on my ring. I know how hard it was to get this."
But each year brings a new challenge. The current one was no different. Formerly a wing player, Etienne was asked by head coach Terry Waldrop early in the season to run the point for him.
"I asked Etienne to run the team because he was the only guy who could do it," said Waldrop by phone. "Nino is not a vocal leader but he leads by example."
Resourceful as ever, Etienne perserved through a trying session.
"When I switched to point guard, it was a difficult transition. There were eight new guys in the rotation. It was tough to help them understand what level we needed to play at to be successful. I had to play a new position and make sure that my teammates kept a high level of intensity."
Etienne's shooting percentage dipped to 43 percent, but he came around offensively in the team's final contests, even scoring a triple-double (16 point, 10 rebounds, 12 assists in a late February game against Bacone (Okla.) College. The team nearly equaled its regular-season victory total of a year ago, going 19-9. But a first-round loss in their conference tournament has them in jeopardy of not returning to
Kansas City, the annual site of the national tournament.
Waldrop said tournament basketball in the NAIA is basically the same as the others. "You can't take anything for granted. Your next game can be your last game."
"Nino and my other seniors embraced the challenge I offered this year because of their work ethic and a willingness to adapt.
Scheduled to graduate in May with a degree in kinesology, Etienne also has been contacted by the Panamanian national team. Born in Panama City, he is eligible to join them this summer as they prepare to play in the Pan American Games this summer (late August-early September).
"I am just happy to get an opportunity to continue to play, but I won't forget my time spent here. With the season being possibly over, I've been able to appreciate (last year) more."
"I pulled out my ring today for the first time in awhile. When I put it on, it made me think of all the special moments we made to get it. People who see this ring don't always know what I'm talking about but when I explain the history behind it they understand."

I´m only twenty but really concerned about the heavy and droopy look of my eyes.If I rise up my brows and open more my eyes,my face completely changes and that´s how I like it but if I relax my face muscles I look like in the picture. Perhaps in the picture it doesn´t look so bad because it´s only the eyes area but in real life it does. What do I need?Just blepharoplasty or brow lift aswell?In case of a browlift,which one do you recommend?I want a procedure that lasts. Thank you in advance!
Best Procedure for my Droopy Eyes? (photo)
Doctor Answers 8
Droopy eyelids
Dear zwan,
- Considering your age and your pic, you might be better waiting a little bit for more skin to occur and remove
- It would be a very conservative upper blepharoplasty that you would need
- The alternative is to try some Botox or Dysport in the crow's feet areas, as well as under the brow, to open the eyes
- These products work great and would probably give you the results you are looking for until you are ready for surgery
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani
Droopy heavy eyelids
Afternoon zwan,
upper eyelid surgery or a blepharoplasty could open your eyes more and give you a nice improvement. However I do see room for a brow lift but it's difficult to say what type it is the photograph is very limited. One other thing to note is that the volume or size of your eye socket may be different on two sides meeting that the eye itself on the right side may be in a slightly different position than the left. This may not really change the plan for you and it's still important to note. Good evaluation with a good facial plastic surgeon or Oculoplastic surgeon.
Best of luck

I think that an upper eyelid blepharoplasty could give the improvement you seek in spite of your youth.

Young patients with Droopy Eyelids
Hi. You may consider Botox injections first to see if you like the amount of elevation of the brow you can get. Frequently, Botox will provide enough lift to give a very nice appearance of the upper lids. Otherwise a conservative upper eyelid surgery is likely to recreate the look which you like when you raise your brows. The eyelid surgery gives a longer lasting result. Botox would require repeat injections 3-4 times per year

Brow and Droopy Eyes
A one sided brow lift or Botox to one side may be appropriate in a case of asymmetric brows. Whether or not upper eyelid surgery would be necessary could be assessed on exam or after Botox trial period. Find the plastic surgeon with elite credentials to help you with these concerns.
Procedure for droopy eyes
A brow lift is not indicated in this particular case due to the adequate distance between the eyelashes and the eyebrows. There is a significant asymmetry of the lids and eyebrows; the patient's right eyebrow being lower than the left eyebrow. Asymmetrical upper eyelid surgery can be performed to give more symmetry to the upper lids and would involve more skin and fat taken from the patient's right upper eyelid to make it look more similar to the left upper lid.
Browlift for Droopy Eyelids
In general, I avoid browlifts on young patients, but there may be some value in bringing up the brows a bit. However, I do feel that some of your heavy eyelid skin is contributing to that look over what you complain. Both of these procedures can be done under local anesthesia and oral sedation, so I recommend you make plans to be a bit flexible until the time you meet with your surgeon.

Droopy eyelids
I agree that you are too young without enough concern to consider surgical correction at this time. I recommend that you try Botox to lift the brows and provide some symmetry. In addition, you might want to look into Ultherapy for a long lasting, non surgical browlift.

Breakup: The End of a Love Story (Paperback)
The End of a Love Story
Anchor Books, 9780385495233, 176pp.
Publication Date: August 16, 1999
I will never make love with you again.
I do not love you anymore."
"Breakup" is the erotically charged chronicle of the tempestuous final months of an eighteen-year romantic and literary partnership, self-destructing in the aftermath of the ultimate betrayal. Fearlessly and courageously, Texier chronicles the end of that love as it is wrecked by infidelity and deceit in a literary tour de force reminiscent by turns of Marguerite Duras and Henry Miller.
Texier writes in harrowing detail about the powerful sexual relationship she shared with her husband even during their breakup, how sex between them became a substitute for real intimacy, and how the fabric of a marriage (a shared cup of cafe au lait on a yellow table every morning, the memories of giving birth to two glorious daughters, of coediting their own literary magazine) is brutally dissolved.
"Breakup" is unsentimental and unflinching, a journal of love's exquisite torture. Every emotion, including rage, disgust, self-pity, hatred, sympathy, and jealousy, is mined. Heartbreaking, too, is the effect of the breakup on Texier's two children who, sometimes caught in the crossfire of their parents' turmoil, are trapped as the relationship spirals out of control and their once-secure home becomes a battlefield.
Ultimately, "Breakup" is about the risks one great passion involves. It is a journey of the heart in all its wild beating; a courageous diary of a soul laid bare, and the redemptive power of love.
About the Author
Praise For Breakup: The End of a Love Story…
"I found myself gasping, raging and plummeting right alongside her....Catherine Texier tells a horrifying story here, beautifully and rivetingly."
--Francisco Goldman, author of The Ordinary Seaman
"By turns, disturbing, exhilarating, mesmerizing and always utterly impossible to put down."
--Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird and Crooked Little Heart
"The surprise in Texier's recollection of the end is her generosity of spirit, her...attempts to understand and empathize with the man who is betraying her and to even imagine the position of the...other woman. "
"Texier's book/diary of betrayal is an open, emotional account of our deepest fears as women, as lovers, and, ultimately, as humans."
--Lucy Grealy, author of Autobiography of a Face

Didn't feel the passion of Labor Day? Not to worry. Just pick up the Ohio Education Association's (OEA) new handbook for collective bargainers--complete with the introduction "Prepare for Battle," a rousing call to arms by OEA's own Dr. Strangelove, researcher Patricia A. Turner.
Enlivening an otherwise mundane read, Ms. Turner declares, "Public education is under siege; losing the battle in Ohio is not an option because the stakes are too high!" The OEA's "enemies" are many: school boards, charter schools, school voucher programs, high-stakes testing, merit pay schemes, and data-driven initiatives.
Luckily, she outlines seven keys to victory including such maxims as "keep the faith," "remain hopeful," and "understand fear." Bargainers are also warned to ignore the weaknesses in public schools because, after all, there are only "good schools and great schools." In fact, critical thinking is discouraged altogether as Turner cautions, "A healthy mind is one that is not wondering or wandering."
Absent from the handbook is what exactly OEA bargainers should be fighting for--except perhaps that public education "should not be expected to meet the huge number of goals expected in today's society."
This handbook for "victory" begins with its own admission of defeat.

The Coon Rapids Police Department will again be taking part in a national take back initiative for prescription drugs.
This will take place at the police department, 11155 Robinson Dr. NW, Saturday, Oct. 26, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., out front on the sidewalk, weather permitting, or in the lobby area.
Only prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications, cough syrup etc. will be accepted at no cost, according to Terry Thomton, a Coon Rapids community policing officer.
No needles or sharps of any kind as well as insulin pens or injectors can be brought in, Thomton said.
"People can remove the labels from the prescription bottles if they choose, however, it is not required," he said.
The medications go into a sealed cardboard box and both the box and contents are incinerated, Thomton said.
This is the second time this year that the police department has had a take back program for prescription and over-the-counter drugs, according to Thomton.
On April 27, 117 people came to the police station and dropped off unused prescription drugs and over-the-counter supplies for a total of 285.5 pounds, Thomton said.
The exact items collected are not recorded or documented, he said.
"There is no residency requirement," Thomton said. "In the April event, we had people come from as far away as Golden Valley."
In the April 2012 take back program, the public turned over 187.25 pounds for destruction, he said.
The Coon Rapids event is part of the federal Drug Enforcement Agency's national take back initiative.
"This is an opportunity to safely empty out your medicine cabinet of drugs you don't need any longer or have expired, including prescription drugs that contain controlled substances," the DEA states on its website.
About one in eight prescription drugs contain active ingredients that the federal government limits in distribution and handles in a special, secure way, according to the DEA.
The DEA launched the take-back program because of its concern that prescription drugs containing controlled substances are being misused and abused at alarming rates in America today, leading to cases of accidental poisoning, overdose and addiction, and making them a public safety issue.
"A factor contributing to their increased usage is their availability in the home medicine cabinet," the DEA states.
"In many cases, medicines containing controlled substances remain in the home medicine cabinet long after therapy has been completed, thus making these easily accessible to others who would misuse or abuse them."

Disaster Proclamation for Appanoose County issued
Tue, 20 Jul 2010 21:44:53 GMT —
Governor Chet Culver Tuesday issued a disaster proclamation for Appanoose County in response to recent flash flooding.
People in Southeast Iowa continue to be affected by extremely heavy rains, with some areas receiving up to eight inches in the past four days, Culver said Tuesday. This rain closely follows river crests above flood stage throughout the Des Moines River basin, putting stress on storm sewers, water systems, bridges, some roads and other critical infrastructure. We TMre monitoring the situation closely along with the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division, and making the appropriate declarations as needed.
The proclamation authorizes coordination of any use of state resources to help local officials to prevent and fight any flooding occurrences.
Reminder: The following 37 counties are also under state disaster proclamations from earlier storms in June and July:
Black Hawk, Buena Vista, Butler, Clay, Davis, Emmet, Fayette, Hamilton, Howard, Humboldt, Jasper, Jefferson, Kossuth, Lee, Lucas, Lyon, O TMBrien, Osceola, Palo Alto, Van Buren, Webster, Cherokee, Decatur, Franklin, Hancock, Mahaska, Marion, Monroe, Polk, Ringgold, Shelby, Sioux, Taylor, Union, Wapello, Warren, and WrightRelease from the Office of Iowa Governor Culver

Competition, Regulation and the New Economy
Edited by: Cosmo Graham, Fiona Smith
In addition to being the principal medium for communication, education and entertainment, the new economy is now a leading provider of goods and services through electronic channels. The new economy rides on the crest of new technological developments in computers, telecommunications and satellites creating new interactive mediums and from the deregulation and privatization of state owned enterprises in the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors. While the economic viability of the dotcoms is questioned, the existence of a new economy with novel methods of production, distribution and exchange is here to stay. Evidence of this is the fact that there are 300 million active computers in the world, with 350 million people who use the world wide web (expected to grow to one billion in four years), and the speed of microprocessors continuously increases, facilitating the use of IT. The question which is pursued in the series of essays in this book is whether the conceptual underpinnings of competition law and international regulatory mechanisms are adequate or appropriate to deal with the developments raised by the new economy.

Specially Designed Chain Lubricants
Chain "stretch" is a result of wear on the pin and bushing, requiring costly chain adjustments or replacement. According to Chesterton, conventional lubricants don't penetrate tight tolerances and, thus, provide minimum benefit.
The company's specially designed chain lubricants are formulated to take care of this problem. Chesterton offers a broad range of these products for use in a wide range of applications, temperatures and conditions, including those found in food, beverage and pharmaceutical operations. Benefits include enhanced chain life; reduced energy consumption; reduced lubricant consumption; and increased load-carrying capability.

I had my subglandular augmentation done about 9 or 10 years ago. I was mostly happy with the surgeon had very little pain, no noticeable scarring. However , he overfilled and removed some of the saline after an overfill and subsequently I had rippling (I feel more quickly than I should have) I am not a large woman 5'7 130 #. Can I have the implants redone submuscular or would that make my breast look deformed or should I stick with subglandular and have them replaced ?
Redo Breast Augmentation?
Doctor Answers 5
Redo breast augmentation
Redo breast augmentation
You describe well the limitations of saline implants, especially in the subglandular plane. Either the surgeon overfills them, which may result in an overly firm breast with a harsh upper pole transition, or the surgeon underfills them with the result of rippling. In general silicone gel implants have much better behavior, especially in the plane under the pectoral muscles. Please see a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who has significant experience with revisional breast surgery.
Redo breast augmentation?
Thank you for your question. In order to give a really meaningful answer you need to be examined by a board certified plastic surgeon. However, given your history it would appear that you would benefit from having your saline implants replaced with silicone and having them placed in the sub muscular plane. This should not cause your breasts to become deformed. However, this can only be determined by having a board certified plastic surgeon examine you. Be sure to express your concerns to him/her. Best of luck.
Dr. Donald Brown.

Repositioning implants is reasonable
It sounds like you have had a fairly typical experience with subglandular implants. After so many years it is not uncommon to see thinning of the tissues and implant ripples. Most of the time the right answer is to change the pocket to a submuscular pocket and use silicone implants. The issue I can not answer for you is the results of the breast skin and how much drooping you may have. If you go up on the implant size a little bit you should maintain the current appearance of the breast.
Discuss your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon.
Best Wishes
Dr. Peterson
Repositioning of Breast Implants from Sub glandular to Sub muscular Position?
As you can imagine, it is not possible to provide you with precise advice without direct examination and a full communication of your goals. However, generally speaking, if at all possible, (given your concerns about rippling…), it will be in your best interests to have the breast implants replaced in the sub muscular (dual plane) position. Whether or not you will do well with this type of breast implant repositioning will depend on your physical examination and the nature of the overlying breast skin envelope. Some patients' breast tissues will re-drape nicely over the repositioned breast implants; some patients may benefit from breast lifting as well. The use of acellular dermal matrix may also be helpful for patients with significant rippling.
I would suggest that you meet with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients with your concerns.
Best wishes.

LIVERMORE — A Judo instructor is heading to New York City to face allegations that he sexually assaulted one of his female students there.
Ryan Rebmann, 29, of Livermore waived extradition Wednesday in an Alameda County Superior Court in Pleasanton. He is now in the custody of the New York Police Department.
Livermore police learned about the alleged assault last month and began an investigation as did NYPD. The girl told investigators that she was sodomized in March while staying in a New York City hotel with Rebmann, her instructor and chaperone, and two other teenagers.
The incident, she told investigators, occurred while everyone was asleep, said Livermore Police Lt. Matt Sarsfield. The group was in New York for the night for a layover for their flight to the Dominican Republic where the group was heading to participate in a competition.
The girl reported the incident after she returned, Sarsfield said.
Based on the information detectives received, a New York magistrate issued a warrant for Rebmann's arrest on the charge of forcible sodomy. He was arrested by Livermore and New York detectives on Wednesday in Livermore.
Investigators believe Rebmann, an instructor at Amador Judo and Jujitsu Studio on Rincon Avenue, may have spoken to other people and students about the alleged assault. Detectives say they are also concerned that he may have assaulted other children or former students. He had taught at the studio for some time, Sarsfield said.
Livermore police are asking parents of children who had any contact with Rebmann to talk to their children about the nature of their interactions with him. Police ask anyone with information about this incident or any other pertinent information to call Livermore police Lt. Matt Sarsfield at 925-371-4730.

Shanghai/Beijing - China said it will punish Audi and Chrysler as well as some 10 Japanese spare part makers for violating the country's anti-monopoly law.
The NDRC, which is responsible for enforcing rules against anti-competitive pricing, said it had found Chrysler and Audi to be engaging in monopolistic behaviour.
The government has also completed investigations into 12 Japanese car parts makers and will mete out punishment to those found to be breaking the anti-monopoly law, Li Pumin, spokesman of the NDRC, said at a press conference in Beijing. The NDRC did not identify the spare-part makers and did not say how many of them would be punished.
China is intensifying efforts to bring companies into compliance with an anti-monopoly law enacted in 2008, having in recent years taken aim at industries as varied as milk powder and jewellery.
The NDRC said that it was also conducting an investigation into Mercedes-Benz. Last week, the Jiangsu division of the NDRC conducted investigations into Mercedes-Benz dealers in five cities.

The extraordinarily gifted illustrator and storyteller Bob Graham turns his distinctive attention to the animals of the African plains. Morris the crocodile and his best friend, Billy, a tortoise, like nothing better than messing around down at the waterhole. After all, that's where their friends gather: zebras, hippos, giraffes, elephants, warthogs, and all the rest. In five amusing stories, Morris and company do just what kids do during a long, hot summer- perform ill-timed stunts on the diving board, get soundly beaten by a team of moms in a soccer match, or see their wildebeest friends off on vacation (also known as their annual migration). By turns wry and laugh-out-loud funny, Bob Graham's whimsical waterhole gang pays tribute to the merriment and mishaps of young friendships everywhere.
During the dry season, Morris the crocodile and his animal friends enjoy playing in and near the water hole.

When Jackson's front teeth started coming in, I could tell the top left front tooth wasn't altogether healthy. It was slightly discolored, more gray than white.
My instinct about the unhealthy tooth was confirmed on Jackson's first birthday when a crawling tumble coincided with the kitchen floor and his tooth was cracked. After an emergency visit to the pediatric dental surgeon, my one year old came home with a silver tooth. So gangsta. The silver tooth didn't last though. It fell out a month later. Jackson swallowed it and the silver tooth re-emerged in a dirty diaper three days later. (I'm not ashamed to tell you that I washed it off and put it in his baby book.) Jackson has been a little snaggletooth since 2007.
Anyway, over the weekend Jackson lost his first tooth legitimately. It's been loose for a few weeks but by Friday it was REALLY loose. By Sunday afternoon, it was hanging on by a fleshy thread. Chuck gave it a little yank and out it came.
I didn't cry (like I did on his fifth birthday), but I am genuinely sad about this milestone. How funny this all is. With Jeremy it was all excitement and anticipation. With Jackson it's all sadness and dread. I am hanging on to every ounce of his littleness for as long as I can.
When the bleeding stopped, Jeremy started the Tooth Fairy conversation. Dollar signs popped up in Jackson's eyes about five seconds later.

I saw it was considered in the "implementation notes" section (just to prevent remarks :p), but I am pointing it as being a security concern rather that just an implementation choice. The same way it can be a problem to get attention from unknown people (it could be some kind of annoying attack, maybe not really harmful, but still annoying); even from people you "know", or have had at least some contact, it can be annoying too if they overdo "attention" queries (and you don't always know perfectly people in your roster anyway). Hence if they are able to send you hundreds of attention who shock your display in a few lapse of time, I would consider this a security concern... And one last point I forgot in my previous message. When it is said: > > However, since some users might not want this feature to disturb them, > a client SHOULD allow the user to disable support. > For my own, a better advice is to have it disabled by default (then without advertise it at this point) and give the possibility to enable this support, not the opposite as proposed here. Many people may install a XMPP client without thinking about it and get disturbed when this happens the first time, especially if they don't know such feature (I heard some stories of people thinking their computer had an issue for days, until someone told them it was MSN!). This kind of feature is not really "major", hence should be only explicitely enabled (like an extra feature when you know what you are doing).

Who's Got The Flu? Google Flu Trends Reveal State-By-State Activity
Wondering if it's just you or if others have the flu, too? Google's announced a new tool that tells you. Google Flu Trends allows you to see flu activity across the United States.
How's Google doing this? Is it now indexing actual human beings, in the way it does web pages? Nah. Turns out that when you're sick with the flu, you search for that word and other flu-related topics. Google can tell which areas are seeing a spike in flu-related searching, and from that, trends can be plotted.
Consider this chart that compares actual flu activity to searches for flu-related terms, over time:
States with more flu activity are shown in darker blue. Click on any state to see the exact level:
Right now, folks in the states of Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Maine and Hawaii are showing "moderate" levels of flu activity. Stop searching about the flu, folks! Step away from your keyboards, have some chicken soup and get back into bed!
When you select a state, above the US map, you'll see the trend chart change to show you flu activity for that state over time. Flu activity over time for the entire US is shown by default. You can also download data plus enter a ZIP code to find the nearest flu shot location to you.

A STOURBRIDGE educated soldier who was killed in Afghanistan just weeks after becoming a first-time father died of bomb blast injuries, an inquest confirmed.
Captain Rupert Bowers, of the 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment (2 MERCIAN), died on March 21 2012 in an explosion while leading a patrol to tackle insurgents - just weeks after seeing his wife Vicky give birth to their son Hugo.
A verdict of death from blast injuries while on active service was recorded by the coroner for mid and north Shropshire, John Ellery, at the 24-year-old soldier's inquest held at Wem Town Hall on February 20.
Capt Bowers, a former Old Swinford Hospital School student, was just weeks away from finishing his tour of duty and rejoining his family when tragedy struck.
Working as an advisor to the Afghan National Army while attached to the 2nd Battalion The Rifles, he was commanding a small team in the Mirmandab region of Nahr-e Saraj district in Helmand Province when he was caught in a blast from an improvised explosive device.
The decorated soldier, who was born in Wolverhampton, began his military career when he joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst after leaving Old Swinford Hospital School in 2005.
Just weeks after completing his training he bravely rescued wounded comrades after a fierce night-time battle in Helmand Province, earning himself the UK armed forces' oldest accolade for gallantry - a Mention in Despatches.
Paying tribute to him after his death - Lieutenant Colonel Colin R Marks, Commanding Officer, Combined Force Burma, 2 MERCIAN, said Capt Bowers was a "gifted officer" and Old Swinford Hospital School headteacher Peter Jones described him as "a perfect role model for young people".

I am seeing my orthodontist this week, I have had braces in the past and now need them again because the lack of improvement they did on my crossbite. My teeth are grinding at night and the enamel on my teeth is suffering, the crossbite being fixed now is crucial. I am older now and I really dread metal brackets again. It seems my bite is more severe than the pictures I've seen from invisalign correcting crossbite online. The photo attached is my bite as of today.
Is my Crossbite Too Severe for Invisalign? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Crossbite Probelms
There is no way invisalign is going to fix your crossbite. It is hard to fix a crossbite like yours with conventional braces. You need a lot of expansion on the upper - maybe even surgical assistance in the case. I suggest you go for many consults and go for you feel who is telling you the truth, not what they think you want to hear.
Severe crossbites may not be correctable with Invisalign or conventional braces.
While it is not possible to know for certain based on just the photos submitted, I suspect that there is an element of your crossbite that is not due to tooth malposition, but rather is a reflection of a difference in upper and lower jaw size and positon. If it is, then correction (in late teens/adulthood) will likely require a combination of orthdontic treatment and jaw surgery. This is complex treatment. I suggest you raise the question of need for surgery with your orthodontist. It is important that you be assured of a successful outcome - particularly since you have undergone orthodontic treatment before.
Fixing your cross bite with Invisalign
Your cross bite will not be easily fixed by Invisalign alone. I would not even think about Invisalign alone.
To fix you crossbite and keep it fixed your upper arch needs expansion of the BONE- one could argue that you are a candidate for surgical assistance.
If you want to have the most proficient docs eval you and consider Invisalign I would go to an Elite Provider or a Super Elite

Have you been doing your homework?
As we mentioned in our recent CrossFit Zone November Newsletter, the one element of fitness that seems to get overlooked the most is flexibility. Flexibility and mobility are very important to your body if you wish to keep your muscles and joints healthy. The good news? Working to keep your body mobile can be achieved in less than 10 mins a day!
For the last while, we have been doing Kelly Starrett's daily Mobility WODs as our Cash-Out routine in class. Many of you have been dedicatedly sticking around after the WOD and spending your time in various uncomfortable stretching positions. We appreciate all your efforts so far! If you haven't been able to do stick around for the Mobility WODs, and you know deep down that you need to work on YOUR flexibility, try and make the time to complete the MWODs at home. The videos are posted on our site daily, so you can follow along in your living room if you weren't able to in class! Trust us: you and your body won't regret it.
How has everyone been finding their performance since beginning this MWOD regimen? Are you liking it? Hating it? Has anyone noted any differences in their flexibility and mobility? Tell us about it in the comments!
