ASU researchers link birth-control shot Depo Provera to memory loss

- Senior Reporter- Phoenix Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Arizona State University researchers have linked birth-control shot Depo Provera to memory loss.
The ASU study connects medroxyprogesterone acetate -- also known as MPA, the hormone active in Depo Provera and many widely used menopausal hormone therapies -- to impaired memory in rodents. The study, published in the journal Psychopharmacology, was led by Blair Braden, an ASU psychology doctoral student, and Heather Bimonte-Nelson, an ASU associate professor of psychology and director of the Bimonte-Nelson Memory and Aging Lab.
Pfizer Inc., the maker of Depo Provera, could not immediately be reached for comment.
The work was done in collaboration with Laszlo Prokai of the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center and Alain Simard of Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.
Braden said she began asking questions about the effects of the drug because she was concerned about her friends taking MPA as a contraceptive.
When she first started researching the hormone, it was looking at how MPA was used in hormone therapy and how menopause relates to memory. That's when she discovered the hormone also is used in Depo Provera.
"It's rare to have a contraceptive that only has one hormone in it," she said. "It made it that much more shocking. Depo Provera is a big fad. It's easy to take."
But for a birth-control shot that offers a convenient alternative for women who don't want to remember to take a daily pill, the irony is that it may impair memory.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration originally approved Depo Provera for use in October 1992. It requires an injection every 12 weeks and is 99 percent effective.

"The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Our is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants."
Omar Bradley
"Knowledge may be power, but wisdom is guidance."
Jeremy Cheatwood
"Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked—as I am surprisingly often—why I bother to get up in the mornings."
Richard Dawkins
"The only tyrant I accept in this world is the 'still small voice' within"
Mahatma Gandhi

That's a very good point - sounds like you have a good teacher. It's funny, though, because sometimes the opposite is true: if the form is reading correctly from its lit parts, even though a large portion of it is just flat black shadow, it still reads correctly. The bottom line, as you know, is this particular issue has nothing necessarily to do with what you're seeing in the model or source image. You need to understand what's happening in your picture and adjust. The other funny thing is, some artists actually purposefully want to create an ambiguity or tension between "flat and round" (myself included, sometimes). It's always tough, therefore, to comment on issues like this without having to guess as to the artist's intentions.My teacher made a comment a couple weeks ago about one mistake a lot of people seem to make. She said that when people see dark areas, a lot of times they just throw down some charcoal/paint/etc. without having modeled the area first. Even if it's supposed to be almost completely black, there needs to be that underlying structure in order for the area to read correctly to the viewer.
This is true, however couldn't you make a case that the work should make apparent what the artist's intentions were?Originally posted by Chris Beatrice
It's always tough, therefore, to comment on issues like this without having to guess as to the artist's intentions.
That is, should we have to guess what the artist's goal is?
I hear that response a lot, invariably from artists whose work is mainly done for reproduction & communications purposes (i.e. 99% of what you see on this site), where "what you're trying to say" should, arguably, be very clear or the piece is not entirely successful. When someone plays a game, or looks at book illustrations, reads a comic book, etc., he doesn't want to have to figure out what he's looking at, be confused, intimidated, made to feel stupid, etc.
But in the larger art world... that's not the case at all, as a rule. It's certainly not an absolute. Figuring out what the artist is trying to do, being hit in the face with something you don't necessarily like, being made to see things you don't want to see, learning new ways of seeing, etc., watching an artist try to reinvent himself, and viewers taking away entirely different things from the same piece of art, are important parts of the experience. I'm talking viewers having ENTIRELY different experiences from the same piece of art. A lot of times you need to be very well-informed about a particular artist's past work, etc. in detail, to just begin to appreciate what s/he's trying to do in the current piece you're looking at, and so on. That's how the "fine art" world operates, which is really an entirely different purpose (and certainly not a "finer" purpose!) for art. It's unfortunate that these have been misnamed as "fine art" vs. "commercial art", but the audiences, how they expect to participate and be treated, how the work is bought and sold, etc., is entirely different, and as a result the work itself turns out pretty different.
On this site I feel it's usually pretty obvious what the artist is trying to accomplish, but when I see a large charcoal drawing of a nude, I can't say that so much.
Ok, I think I understand what you are saying.
I also do understand the difference between fine art and commercial art, though from a different area. I'm also a fine art musician, having studied music in school and having been playing for about 15 years now.
I'm new to the visual art world, though, so it's very exciting learning the similarities and the differences between music and visual art. Unfortunately, I'm not up to date on either, since in school you don't study a lot of contemporary music (at least not as much as you study the older stuff), and I'm too new to art to understand what's going on.
Well you may understand the difference, but in about five seconds someone else is probably going to start flaming me...
beautiful mood in these.. the playing up of the reflected lights and core shadow does it for me.. reminds me of David Grove's drawings or bob heindels work
These are very nice
-Member of middle class-
Nice stuff - great control of the medium - I can't make heads or tails of charcoal - eeeeww dirty fingers!
does the artist erase out on these? I've seen some awesome work done with compressed charcoal and an eraser...I hope these are done on quality paper - be a shame to hear they're on time-bomb newsprint!
Love to see some oils from this person!
Wow! This picture was posted on another board, and I just had to make an account, so I could register my comments here.Originally posted by Sakievich
He loved your comments, generally, though he does think it could use more contrast.
here's on of my most favorite drawings that he's done.
What a breathtaking drawing! She is such a beautiful (and hot!) woman, and the artwork itself makes me wish I had a full size version to hang on the wall. Granted, I don't know art well, but I am very moved by this piece. I actually appreciate the somber contrast, as it adds texture and richness, yet keeps the drawing somewhat fanciful.
I encourage the artist to continue, as he's quite talented.
Send me a private message if there's a way to get a higher resolution/dimension picture. I'd love to print this out in detail (although my girlfriend might kill me if I hang it on the wall).
Where was it posted other than here? I don't have a higher resolution than this one. I am sorry.
To me it does seem that the left arm is slightly short from the shoulder to the elbow. She seems to be arching the back slightly, which would show the fingers to be a few inches down further on the thigh..... the right arm is a bit harder to tell, but I do think it also looks slightly short. That is the only critism that I have, otherwise, this is beautiful, and makes me feel the need to work more w/ the human body. The legs and feet look perfect.

man the fat girl one is the hotness!!! i wish i could do that
Basically, charcoal is one of those media where you really get to play around. Lots of pushing and pulling, put in some dark, erase out to white, etc. Don't be afraid to move it around. You're never stuck with what you've got on the page, since it's a VERY easy to move medium. Other than that, it just takes lots of messing around with it. Remember that an eraser is a drawing tool, so don't go anywhere with charcoal without an eraser in your other hand.Originally posted by Ladyviv

Recent reviews:
January 4, 2014 - 4 out of the 6 that come in the package, broke the first time I tried to use them. Not worth the 3 bucks I paid for them.
June 23, 2013 - My 3 yr old granddaughter has a lot of hair - very thick. Since we all love our animals, I thought she might like them. At least Mother would like them. This was 3 months ago and she has not worn them even once. My daughter said they are so very thick so making a 2nd loop is difficult. Well, grandma tried.
April 19, 2013 - I got these hair bands a few weeks ago, they are perfect, they hold my hair up really good and don't fall out. I haven't had any break so far, they are great. And by getting them I helped pay for some food for some dogs and animals that really need it
March 29, 2013 - Not worth the money I paid. These break very easy. My daughter didn't even get to wear them.
February 11, 2013 - The first band I took out and stretched broke right away. If you don't stretch these, they work -- look good and hold your hair well. Just be careful if you want them to last.

Awesome DIY Planters
Not everyone has one of these hanging around, but they're perfect containers for a garden. Large troughs or barrels give you plenty of room to plant bigger crops. Scour yard sales and local flea markets for plastic, wood, or galvanized metal tubs. Planting in troughs is an excellent way to grow pounds of food in a tiny garden.
You can also make a hanging planter from an old tire. If you're handy, do as blogger Pamela, a DIY painter in Schenectady, from Pink Hammers and Sippy Cups did. The project involves cleaning, cutting, and painting an old tire. The result is a sturdy planter that looks a bit like a flower. It can be suspended as a hanging planter, or it can be placed on the ground.
What's your favorite way to make your own planters? Have you figured out an amazing and awesome, cheap DIY planter solution. Please tell us in the comments!

Perfect quality and excellent result when cooking. I use it mostly for simple and fast desserts that are very popular in Eastern Europe. Boil water with your favorite jam or juice (it can be also dried fruits boiled in water, anything that you like), add sugar and when boiling add potato starch previously dissolved in small amount of cold water (depending on the amount of water, 1-3 tablespoons of starch). Mix quickly until you get the desired thickness and wait for the first bubble from boiling. Eat hot or cold with milk or whipped cream.

10 events and trends that shaped the tech industry in 2013
12:02AM | Friday, 6 DecemberThe tech sector has always been hyper-competitive, and never has this been truer than in 2013. For the likes of Twitter, Samsung and Google, the harvest of 2013 was bountiful. However, from the perspective of Nokia, Microsoft, BlackBerry or the PC industry, it was a year to forget. Here's a look back at 10 of the big events and trends that shaped the tech sector in 2013. 1. One billion smartphones sold this year – and counting The most important tech story of 2013 didn't take place with a major product announcement or a Steve Jobs-style keynote speech. Instead, it took place without fanfare at an ordinary mobile phone retailer somewhere deep in suburbia. It was there that a consumer decided to purchase the one billionth smartphone to be sold during 2013. To put that number in perspective, it is projected that 227.3 million tablets shipped worldwide during 2013, 158 million television sets, 180.9 million portable PCs and 134.4 million desktop PCs. Meanwhile, figures from market analysts IDC show smartphones also outsold featurephones worldwide for the first time in history during the first quarter of 2013. What this means is that while smartphones now account for more than half of the 418.6 million mobile phones shipped worldwide each quarter, there are still millions of old-fashioned featurephones being sold each year. Especially in the low-end of the market and in emerging economies, that means there's plenty of extra room for growth in the future – especially at the low-end of the market. Make no mistake about it. The smartphone industry is big – far bigger than the PC or TV business. And it's only going to get bigger in 2014. 2. Google Android and Samsung: The juggernaut rolls on The biggest winners from the spectacular, ongoing growth of the smartphone market have been Samsung and Google. Last year, smartphones running Google Android outsold Apple. In 2013, that trend morphed into total industry domination. For example, of the 261.1 million smartphones shipped worldwide during the third quarter of 2013, 211.6 million or over 80% ran Google's Android operating system. That compares to just 33.8 million iPhones, representing around 12.9% of the market, and a measly 3.6% for Windows Phone. Samsung managed to ship 72.4 million smartphones during the second quarter of 2013 alone, representing around 30.4% of the market – more than double Apple's sales during the same period. Those device sales also mean increased component orders flowing through the various divisions of the South Korean tech conglomerate, which manufactures everything from semiconductors to batteries and smartphone displays. The growing strength of the South Korean electronics behemoth is demonstrated by its advertising and marketing budget, which has been estimated at around $US14 billion worldwide. To put that figure into perspective, as of 2011, North Korea's entire national economy was estimated to stand at $US12.385 billion. 3. The PC industry bloodbath While Google and Samsung have had a stellar year in 2013, the same certainly can't be said for the PC industry. The September quarter was the sixth consecutive quarter of falls, according to Gartner, with shipments falling to 80.2 million units for the quarter from 87.8 million a year earlier. Figures released by IDC forecast PC shipments for the full year to fall 9.7% in 2013. More alarmingly, it appears the emerging middle class in China, India and Brazil aren't keen on buying computers, with total PC shipments in emerging markets expected to drop from 205.2 million to 185 million this year. Australia and New Zealand led the trend, with a massive 21% year-on-year fall in shipments for first quarter in Australia, along with a more astounding 27% fall in New Zealand. The implosion of the PC market was disastrous for a number of PC makers, including Dell, HP and Acer. In August, HP announced a major shake-up of its senior management team after announcing a large 15% year-on-year drop in net earnings and a 22% drop in revenue from consumer devices during its quarterly results. That same month, Dell reported a massive 72% year-on-year collapse in quarterly earnings, while a consortium including founder Michael Dell, Silver Lake Capital and Microsoft successfully fought off high-profile investor Carl Icahn's bid for control of the company. And at Acer, founder Stan Shih made a surprise return as interim chairman and president, following the resignation of former chief executive JT Wang and president Jim Wong after the company recorded a record third-quarter loss. The resignations came after Acer announced its consolidated revenues for the third-quarter of 2013 fell 11.8% year-on-year to $US3.11 billion, resulting in an operating loss of $US86.6 million. 4. Surface falls flat On top of falling PC sales and 3.6% Windows Phone market share, the news was dire for Microsoft on another front in 2013. Late last year, Microsoft launched its Surface series of tablets as a first step towards making devices, with the company believed to have manufactured around six million units. The release of the Surface instantly made Microsoft a direct competitor to many of its already struggling PC partners, straining relations in the process. Fast forward to July of this year when Microsoft announced a massive $US900 million writedown on its inventory of unsold tablets. The writedown came less than a week after Microsoft announced a large price cut of $US150 for the struggling product line. Adding insult to injury, Microsoft also revealed it has spent $US898 million advertising the tablets, while only generating $US853 million in sales. According to many leading analysts, the company was believed to have sold just 1.7 million of the six million tablets it had built. To put those numbers in perspective, Apple sells around 14.6 million iPads each quarter, while Samsung sells around 8.8 million. 5. Steve Ballmer resigns During the 1990s, Microsoft was undeniably the 800-pound gorilla of the tech industry. Then, in January 2000, founder Bill Gates stood aside as chief executive, in favour of Steve Ballmer, in order to focus on his philanthropic efforts. Since then, the company has lost much of its former dynamism, and has failed to become the dominant player in a range of new technologies that have emerged since then, including search, tablets, smartphones or social media. In August last year, Vanity Fair magazine journalist Kurt Eichenwald ran a feature exploring why Microsoft fell behind its rivals. A management technique called stack ranking was almost universally blamed. "If you were on a team of 10 people, you walked in the first day knowing that, no matter how good everyone was, two people were going to get a great review, seven were going to get mediocre reviews, and one was going to get a terrible review," a former software developer told Eichenwald. "It leads to employees focusing on competing with each other rather than competing with other companies." Add the low market share for Windows Phone, poor sales of the Surface and the PC industry bloodbath, and it became clear something had to give at Microsoft. In July, the company announced a major management restructure, with the company's strategy shifting to focus on "devices and services". Then, just one month later, Ballmer resigned as chief executive, with stack ranking dumped as a management technique soon after. The Redmond, Washington-based tech giant is currently searching for his replacement. Story continues on page 2. Please click below. 6. Nokia sold for a song Soon after Ballmer's resignation, the news was overshadowed by an even bigger story. In September, Microsoft announced it was buying Nokia's smartphone and devices businesses for $US7.2 billion, with the Finnish telecommunications company retaining its Nokia-Siemens services network equipment business and the Nokia brand name. The deal came after Nokia announced its smartphone sales had slumped 27% year-on-year during the second quarter of 2013, with an overall loss of €115 million ($A190 million) for the quarter. The sales plunge was led by the company's Windows Phone-based Lumia smartphone unit, where shipments fell 27% from 10.2 million units during the second quarter of 2012 to just 7.4 million for the same quarter in 2013. To put that number into perspective, it was a little over one-tenth the number of smartphones sold by Samsung during the same quarter. It was an inglorious end to a company that absolutely dominated the mobile industry through the 1990s and 2000s. As recently as 2010, when Apple sold 47 million smartphones, Nokia managed to sell 104 million. According to prominent industry analysts, such as former Nokia executive Tomi Ahonen, the fateful moment came in February 2011, when then chief executive Stephen Elop made the decision to switch its smartphones to the Windows Phone operating system. Soon after, a leaked internal letter from Elop known as the "burning platform" memo likened the company's situation in the mobile phone market to a person standing on a burning oil platform. After the takeover was announced, Elop was named as one of the top contenders for the position of Microsoft chief executive. 7. BlackBerry's failed comeback and takeover attempt It wasn't just Nokia that had a tough time in the smartphone market at the hands of Samsung and Google. In January, BlackBerry launched its new, all-touch BlackBerry 10 smartphone operating system. The platform, originally scheduled for late 2011, had been delayed by a year, preventing the company launching a flagship phone in 2012. The Australian launch for the first smartphone to run the new platform, the Z10, came in March at a gala event in Sydney hosted by Adam Spencer. A second device using a traditional BlackBerry keyboard, called the Q10, came soon after. While the reviews were generally positive, the new devices failed to be the big comeback success the company's then-chief executive, Thorsten Heins, had hoped for. By August, the company formed a special five-member panel to examine takeover options after director and Canadian investment guru Prem Watsa quit the board. In its September quarter results, the full carnage was laid bare. The Canadian smartphone maker reported just $US1.6 billion in revenues for the quarter, down 45% year-on-year and 49% quarter-on-quarter. The company also revealed it sold just 3.7 million smartphones for the quarter – and less than half of those ran BlackBerry 10. Total losses came in at $US965 million, including a massive $US934 million inventory writedown against unsold stock of the company's Z10 smartphone. The company announced more than 4500 staff layoffs, representing nearly 40% of its global workforce, while Heins bought a new private jet. Meanwhile, the company's rollout of its Messenger app for Android and iOS was frozen due to technical issues with its release. In early November, with banks uncertain of the company's long-term future, Watsa failed to raise the requisite $4.7 billion for a buyout, instead lending the company $US1 billion. As part of the deal, Heins stood aside as chief executive, replaced by former Sybase chief executive John Chen, with Watsa rejoining the board. Heins received a $US22 million golden parachute for his efforts, significantly less than the $US55.6 million he would have received had the sale gone through. 8. The Twitter IPO Last year, Facebook's disastrous IPO ended in tears – followed by lawsuits. Thankfully, the outcome was not repeated when its social media rival, Twitter, listed on the New York Stock Exchange in November. After opening at $US26 per share, the company's share price surged 72.69% in its first trading session. It closed at $US44.90 per share, before dropping slightly to $US44.44 in after-hours trading. Making the result even more amazing was the state of its balance sheet. While the tech giant has revenues of $US534.46 million and around 230 million users worldwide, it has never posted a profit. Despite this, the company now has a market capitalisation north of $US20 billion, with chief executive Dick Costolo claiming the company's long-term investment strategy has prevented it from chasing profits in the short term. 9. iOS7, iPhones and iPads For Apple, 2013 was a solid if somewhat unspectacular year. In June, the company released a redesigned version of its smartphone and mobile operating system, iOS7, alongside a new version of its Mac OS X desktop operating system, known as Mavericks. It was the year that Apple finally unveiled a low-cost version of its iPhone, known as the iPhone 5c, alongside a new 64-bit flagship smartphone called the iPhone 5s, complete with a 64-bit processor and a fingerprint sensor. Then, in October, the company unveiled a lighter version of its iPad, known as the iPad Air. None of the products had the industry-shaking impact of the unveiling of the Macintosh, iPod, iPhone or iPad. That said, with billions in profits each quarter, a solid second place in the smartphone market and the world's biggest selling tablet, solid and unspectacular for Apple is better than most companies could dream of. 10. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 launch Last, but certainly not least for gamers, 2013 marked the introduction of next generation games consoles from both Sony and Microsoft. Coming a year after Nintendo launched its Wii U system, Sony announced one million first-day sales of its PlayStation 4 system, but the launch was marred by a number of angry consumers taking to social media to complain about non-functional systems. Sony's first-day sales were soon matched by the first-day sales of Microsoft's new Xbox One system. So how will the two new devices perform over the long term? We'll have to wait until next year to find out! This story first appeared on SmartCompany.
Should you develop your apps and websites for Android, Windows or Apple?
6:06AM | Wednesday, 19 JuneOnce upon a time, figuring out which personal computer platform to develop your program or website for was easy. In these tech good 'ole days known as the mid-90s, DOS and – later – Windows accounted for well over 90% of both the home and office computer markets. Old Taskmaster remembers the days when the overwhelming majority of computer users knew the frustration of an error message that said "illegal operation". Bill Gates racked up a number of anti-trust lawsuits trying to keep it that way. Any company standing in the way of this tech juggernaut – from Borland and Word Perfect to Netscape and very nearly Apple – were driven out of town like the evildoer in a spaghetti western. Back then, the rules were simple: Develop it for Windows. If it particularly appealed to graphic designers in black skivvies and berets, consider porting it to the Mac. If you were a blind open source ideologue, you might also port it to Linux and boast about it on Slashdot (after all, 1999 was the year of Linux on the desktop – or was that 2009?). But nowadays, things are a little more confusing. There are smartphones, tablets, PCs, laptops and other web devices to consider. Even if you just have a website, you still have to consider which devices and browsers to optimise for. (And before you say "it should work perfectly on everything", you probably won't test your site on Contiki for the Commodore 64, or the Telecom Computerphone, now will you?!) If you're developing for Australian consumers, which of the big three – Android, iOS or Windows – should you focus on? Old Taskmaster has some food for thought: Smartphones If you want to develop a smartphone app it has to work on Android. Period. According to Kantar WorldPanel, Android now accounts for 69.4% of all Australian smartphones and 69.6% of the world market. In comparison, iPhones make up 28.1% of the market in Australia and 18.4% worldwide. In other words, if you have a mobile app that doesn't run on Android or a mobile site that doesn't quite look right on a Samsung Galaxy S4, you've just lost three-quarters of the market. Tablets The Australian tablet market grew 147% year on year, with Aussies now buying 1.14 million of the things each quarter. But as sales of tablets have gone up, Apple's marketshare has gone down. One year ago, the iPad made up 80% of the Aussie market, while today it's just 56%. Meanwhile in the same time Android has grown from 18% to 36%. Meanwhile, despite all the hype from Microsoft, they only claim 8% of the market. Desktops While desktop computer sales fell a massive 21% year-on-year during the first quarter of 2013, they still remain an important platform. Here, Windows still runs the show. HP controls 19% of the market, followed by Dell (15%), Lenovo (11%), and Toshiba (9%), with no-name computer shops down the road making up the other 28%. In contrast, Apple has 18%. Still confused? By the numbers, Old Taskmaster says it's really simple. Find out which sort of device your customers prefer to use the most, and prioritise your apps and websites accordingly. If you want your app or website on smartphones, it has to be built for Android. If you want it primarily on tablets, it's Apple first and Android second. If you want desktop computers, it's still Windows, with Apple a distant second. So knowing the figures, are you developing for the right platforms? If not, it's time to get your priorities right! Get it done – today!

Ecuador Targets a U.S. Air Base
May 14, 2008 | Posted by: The Big M | Full story: www.time.com
When the Colombian military made its controversial incursion into neighboring Ecuador two months ago, it may well have removed more than just a camp full of leftist Colombian guerrillas.
Manta Air Base has sparked an economic boom, putting the city in the map. Manta hosts the largest tuna fleet in the Americas after Mexico's, a deep water harbour which is attractive to major cruise lines which cater to affluent retirees en route to Valparaiso, the straight of Magellan, Punta del Este, and Rio.
Thousands of tourists disembark from these vessels,.. touring a city whose "malecon" is sorrounded by five star hotels, kick ass Ecuadorean cuisine, hot girls, and club's reminiscent of Havana or Miami Beach in its glory days. Manta's fantastic, Pacific Ocean mile long beaches, rival those in California and Hawaii. Thanks to the influx of US dollars brought in by the US Military, tourist's hard currency.. Manta has florished into a dynamic cruise ship destination, and home (though for decades) to a world class fleet of deep ocean tuna trawlers. Manta enjoys today infrastructure in par with the larger city of Guayaquil and the Capital , Quito. Im proud of this city , and I thank the US military for its role in the has played in making Manta a damn good place to live in. Christopher Givens Paredes.. US/Ecuadorean citizen |
Judged: 1 1 |
"Roughly 200 military personnel operate out of Manta with 30 or so American contractors and about 150 Ecuadorians..."
"... Its also possible, he said, that Manta could duck that ban by reclassifying itself as an unarmed law enforcement operation..." http://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2008/05/air... |
Hello Van, I'm not sure what the reference in this article "unarmed law enforcement" means. None of our planes were armed when I was there and I'm 99% sure none of the planes currently flying in/out of Manta are armed. And I can only tell you that when I was there our Gringos were well-behaved and I believe the locals appreciated our presence as much as we enjoyed being there. My only regret is that I didn't see more of Ecuador. Your debate points are well-received, and guys like you and me should be grateful that we can argue back and forth in the USA. I'm not so sure other governments which are teetering on the edge of dictatorship would allow such discussions. All the best. Jirehs1. Es verdad. |
United States |
It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars in a place where the President of that country is supporting and cooperating with the very terrorists this base is attempting to eliminate. Correa answers to Chavez and FARC, there is no point in pretending otherwise. Except to waste money. |
Colombia |
These leftist leaders just do what their puppet master Chavez orders. And like most politicians they don't give a hoot about the lives they will ultimately destroy. Chavez has convinced them that he will be the new powerhouse and they can thrive in isolation from the USD. They should all spend their vacations in Cuba
Michele, Loggi, Van and Chris - I'm still betting that the Chavez puppet in Ecuador will be gone before the Manta Gringos. And I wouldn't be surprised to see Chavez go as well. This would be a good thing for my friends y la gente de Ecuador, Venezuela y Colombia. Please continue the excellent commentary! Es verdad.
United States |
From your post to God's ears. ¡Tenemos que defendernos! Enjuiciemos a Correa por ALTA TRAICIÓN A LA PATRIA. Firmemos la petición de demanda en La Haya contra Chávez y Correa: http://www.petitiononline.com/hv3c2007/petiti... |

Dell Inspiron 1545 - Dell Inspiron 1545
As has become the fashion, the 1545 has a slightly-recessed wide-aspect touchpad and its matte textured surface is pleasant to use. Its buttons, meanwhile, though a tad noisy, are well-positioned and feature good feedback.
Thankfully, Dell hasn't done much to alter the keyboard and it's pretty much identical to the excellent one found on the Inspiron 1525. Keys have a pleasant matte surface and are shaped well. Though feedback is a little light, it's quite deep for a notebook and has a nice positive 'click' to it. Layout is also excellent, the only quirk being that the special functions (such as volume up/down, wireless on/off, etc) on the F1-F12 keys are now the default action, with the F1-F12 functions themselves being relegated to secondary status and requiring the Fn key to be pressed. This probably makes life easier for computer novices, but will doubtless cause anyone who uses F-key combinations regularly no end of frustration.
Dell's Inspiron has joined the 16:9 aspect ratio crowd, as the 1545 sports a glossy 15.6in 1,366 x 768 screen. It's a somewhat below-average display overall; though it doesn't suffer from banding or excessive backlight bleed, text isn't quite as sharp as we're used to and terrible viewing angles means its contrast performance is often pretty poor too. In terms of entertainment, however, if you can get past the reflections in a lit environment and are looking at the screen from the 'ideal' angle, it certainly does an adequate job even with dark material.
The speakers also strike a positive note. To be honest, they sound a lot better than the rubbish we encounter on most budget 15-16in notebooks. They do lack some depth and obviously bass doesn't have the kind of punch the best notebook speakers provide, but everything comes across with surprising vibrancy and without distorting at either end of the range.

Sports PrepZone ArchivesBig PictureAugust 28, 2009Given Corey Rice's performance in his three starts last season -- 22-of-33 for 304 yards and a touchdown -- it's no wonder Sherando coach Bill Hall named him the Warriors' starting quarterback for Sherando's game tonight at Park View.The new season is here, and with it comes a number of questions. With several stars heading to college football and district realignments wreaking havoc in the Shenandoah Valley, the changes have clouded expectations. WOODSTOCK -- Matt Sherfey saw first hand what playoff football was all about. As Central made it to the postseason for the second year in a row, he was there on the sidelines. BERRYVILLE -- There's little room for error in the trenches of a football field, especially when a game hinges on the success or failure of a single play. WINCHESTER -- Elijah Washington loves the weight room. He enjoys going in and challenging himself day after day, pushing himself to hit a new mark. It's that mentality that's helped him become the strongest player on Handley's team and molded him into one of the team's leaders. WINCHESTER -- It was a busy summer for Trae Tinsman. The James Wood senior spent most of it traveling from one football camp to another, but that's the life of a recruit trying to gain more attention from college programs. WOODSTOCK -- The play still stands out in Carl St. Amand's mind. It was third-and-four against St. John's, and the Massanutten Military Academy cornerback picked off a pass at the 40-yard line that swung the momentum in the Colonels' favor. MMA ended up winning that game due in large part to the interception. WINCHESTER -- Doug Murrell learned how to play on the offensive line the hard way. As a sophomore he was forced into the starting lineup and had to go against players such as Sherando's Joey Christine, who was all-state on the defensive line that year. FRONT ROYAL -- Trust, respect and the genuine care and concern all come to mind when one thinks of family. That's exactly how senior teammates Nathaniel Earp and Josh Temple described the link between the members of the 2009 Randolph-Macon Academy football team -- a family. STEPHENS CITY -- It's hard to tell whether Sherando linebacker Baxter Newman is flexing or not. The deep crevices of his arms, which define first his shoulder, then his triceps and biceps before slithering down to his forearm, suggest that he probably is flexing. By Jeremy Stafford -- firstname.lastname@example.com FRONT ROYAL -- Cliff Woodard is bigger than he's ever been. He's stronger, faster, more explosive off the line of scrimmage, and from the first day of practice, every one of the Hawks has taken notice of their feature running... QUICKSBURG -- The pressure was certainly there. As a freshman last season, John-Michael Pirtle was named starting quarterback when Dylan Dawson, the previous starter, was moved to tailback before the Generals' season opener. STRASBURG -- A year ago, Michael Reynolds was little concerned with learning Strasburg coach Mark Roller's offense. Even though Reynolds was the backup quarterback, Bub McKelvey was slated as the starter. Instead, Reynolds was preoccupied with earning a starting role as a cornerback, and so he learned just enough of the offense to get by. FRONT ROYAL -- The art of blocking, at first, came easy for Damien Caison. As a tight end at Warren County, Caison had only to set himself on the line of scrimmage, take one or two hard steps, and engage the bulky defensive end or linebacker in front of him. August 5, 2009WINCHESTER -- With the way the Winchester Royals have hit this season, they could be a threat no matter who they face in the Valley Baseball League playoffs.August 4, 2009WOODSTOCK -- Central players walked onto the practice field Monday morning with a new level of enthusiasm.July 29, 2009FRONT ROYAL -- Steven Rivera was masterful again. The Winchester right-hander was doing everything right, baffling Front Royal's bats inning after inning, just like he did last week in a complete game shutout of the Valley Baseball League's top team.July 28, 2009FRONT ROYAL -- The last time an American Legion baseball team from Front Royal celebrated a state championship was 1963.July 27, 2009WINCHESTER -- The wait for Chad Moore is almost over. The 2007 Handley grad has gone through his share of ups and downs, but he soon will be back on the court playing college basketball. Moore received a scholarship to play at Shepherd College next year, but he also is considering another option.July 24, 2009FRONT ROYAL -- Game after game, Jesse Henry itched to get back on the field. Though in uniform for the Front Royal Cardinals, Henry often watched from the top step of the dugout, having to rest a torn tendon in one of his wrists. Missing 15 of 16 games between June 16 and July 5 was a downer for Henry, largely because he was not getting to join in the fun with his summer teammates.July 23, 2009NEW MARKET -- Rebel Park, in the morning's waking hours, is one of the most serene sights New Market has to offer.FRONT ROYAL -- The game before, Winchester manager John Lowery, Jr. had used a bevy of left-handers to handcuff Fauquier's batters. July 13, 2009WOODSTOCK -- The first few innings went like clockwork at Central High School. First, Woodstock pitcher Ian Marshall retired the side for the North, then New Market's Eric Alessio returned the favor pitching for the South.July 11, 2009FRONT ROYAL -- Find the barrel of the bat, hit the ball hard. The thought darts through Front Royal cleanup hitter Steve McQuail's head as he looms over home plate, watching as the pitcher twists into his windup.July 9, 2009WOODSTOCK -- Cory Tilton was in a good spot to be successful. Hitting eighth in Woodstock's batting order, Tilton knew he was going to get pitches to hit from Front Royal starting pitcher Shane Galloway, who twice found himself in jams during Wednesday night's Valley Baseball League game.July 3, 2009Strasburg's Jaclyn Ayers, The Northern Virginia Daily's Girls Athlete of the Year, competes in volleyball, basketball and softball, and though she's too humble to do so willingly, she can name most of the awards she's collected over the last nine months: All-state first team in volleyball, Bull Run District Volleyball Player of the Year, Region B honorable mention in basketball, Region B second-team in softball, and several others.It didn't take long for Central's J.J. Armentrout, The Northern Virginia Daily's Boys Athlete of the Year, to become an outstanding tight end: In his first season, he caught 21 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns; as a senior, he caught 22 passes for 420 yards and five touchdowns. July 1, 2009FRONT ROYAL -- The Cardinals are finally beginning to come together as a team.June 29, 2009WINCHESTER -- J.J. Dorsey loves playing basketball. It was obvious in the graceful way he flew to the hoop, banked in fade-away jumpers, and then hustled back to play defense during drills at an open gym session at Daniel Morgan Middle School on Saturday.June 26, 2009To the dismay of Valley Baseball League players, coaches and management, the region has been drenched by rainstorms, postponing games across the area. There are those days when early downpours make postponements inevitable, and so players can enjoy a rare summer day away from the diamond. But only a few weeks into this young season, players are itching to get out onto the field, even if it's just for a practice.FRONT ROYAL -- Following the Front Royal Cardinals' seven-run loss to Winchester on Wednesday, head coach Joe Scarano knew his team needed a little extra work. So he held an early practice session Thursday morning to try and work his team out of its funk. June 8, 2009RADFORD -- The scene following Stonewall Jackson's Group A State semifinal loss to George Mason was somber, but not devastating.RADFORD -- As the Handley players rushed to the court to celebrate a 5-0 win over Spotswood in the Group AA state final, the tears quickly followed. RADFORD -- Many of the key players on the Stonewall Jackson boys soccer team, such as juniors Patrick Bain, Colton Koontz and Hayden Miller, can at least find comfort in the fact that they have next season to look forward to. June 5, 2009WINCHESTER -- The chemistry between Elizabeth Gardiner, Mykenzie Garrett, Katie Gordon and Sarah Moomau is evident.QUICKSBURG -- It's a long drive from Quicksburg to Cape Charles, site of Stonewall Jackson's boys soccer match in the Group A state quarterfinals against Northampton. June 4, 2009STRASBURG -- Donning a smile as wide as the ocean that separates his permanent and temporary homes, Yoshi Suzuki rattles off his favorite traditional American fare.June 2, 2009QUICKSBURG -- On the side of U.S. 11, just north of Quicksburg Road in Mt. Jackson, a wooden cross is fixed into the ground.May 30, 2009QUICKSBURG -- About halfway through the Region B championship soccer match at Stonewall Jackson, midfielder Patrick Bain began suffering from mild cramps in his calves.May 29, 2009Winning a state title in any sport is hard enough; so to repeat as state champions, even for a Clarke County track and field team that brings 22 male and female athletes to Saturday's Group A state meet at Radford University, is a rare feat in its own right.May 28, 2009STRASBURG -- The nature of playing small ball is to put pressure on the other team. A winning baseball club with a spotty defense most of the season, Strasburg's shortcomings in the field came to the surface again in Wednesday night's Region B quarterfinals game with Riverheads.May 27, 2009QUICKSBURG -- They called it Little Mexico, a sliver of an apartment complex in Mount Jackson, heavily populated by Hispanics from Guanajuato, Mexico.WINCHESTER -- Elizabeth Gardiner and Katie Gordon have only been playing together for a few weeks, but it hasn't taken them long to hit their stride. May 26, 2009STEPHENS CITY --- The scouting report Broad Run had on Sherando's pitching staff did not include James Harrelson.GRAND CHUTE, Wis. -- Shenandoah University defied the odds all season. A trip to the Division 3 World Series was an unlikely accomplishment. So were the chances of coming back from a five-run deficit to start the bottom of the fifth inning. May 23, 2009APPLETON, Wis. -- "Ouch." That was the first word uttered by Farmingdale State College coach Keith Osik about the dominance of Shenandoah University in the Hornets' 12-2 opening-round win in the Division 3 World Series on Friday.May 22, 2009WINCHESTER -- Don't blink or you could miss it. The handshake between Shenandoah outfielder Kevin Brashears and pitcher Matt Davis, a blur of one set of fingers slithering its way through the nooks and crannies of the other lasts only a moment, but it's a moment the two believe can provide the Hornets with a hint of magic for an entire inning.Almost two years ago to the day, Jordan Zimmermann, now a rookie for the Washington Nationals, toed the rubber at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton, Wis., pitching for Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the Division 3 World Series. QUICKSBURG -- Stonewall Jackson forward Juan Flores sat on the edge of the soccer field at Stonewall Jackson as the Shenandoah all-district teams were named. May 21, 2009STRASBURG -- Knowing that Clarke County was coming in playing its best baseball of the season, Strasburg wanted to put Wednesday night's Bull Run District semifinals matchup to bed early with a strong showing.WINCHESTER -- It's a cold and breezy night in Salisbury, Md. The field lights at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium flicker off and on in the waning innings of Shenandoah's Division III regional championships quarterfinal game against York, and the threat of rain is ever-looming. STEPHENS CITY -- Trevor and Trey Scott are typical brothers. They are competitive, there to back each other up whenever needed and, most importantly, always ready to pick on one another. May 20, 2009STEPHENS CITY -- Much of Zach Carney's time Tuesday night was spent with a scorebook in his hands. But once Sherando baseball coach Pepper Martin called on Carney to pinch-hit late in the Warriors' Northwestern District semifinals game against James Wood, the junior proved that he was just as skilled with a bat in his hands as a pencil.WINCHESTER -- Everything happens for a reason. Or so says Shenandoah University left fielder Jasen Eberz. There's a reason Eberz had two strikeouts and committed two errors in the Division 3 South Regional championship game against Johns Hopkins on Saturday; and there's a reason why, as sophomore at Shenandoah, Eberz dove awkwardly into first base in a scrimmage and nearly tore his shoulder out of it's socket. May 19, 2009STRASBURG -- Strasburg softball coach Suzanne Mathias takes no opponent lightly. And she didn't change her stance for Monday's Bull Run District tournament quarterfinal opponent George Mason, even though the Mustangs have not won within the league for several seasons.May 16, 2009WOODSTOCK -- In the nine-team Northwestern District, the fourth and fifth seeds would normally be the most evenly matched for tournament play.May 15, 2009WOODSTOCK -- Central coach Donn Foltz has good reason to feel optimistic about his team's chances in the Northwestern District tournament, which begins today.WINCHESTER -- Handley's Brittany Myers was a bit tired after winning her second distance race in as many days. Still, the freshman had enough left in her legs to give the Judges' 4x400 relay team a win in Thursday's final event of the Northwestern District Track and Field Championships. May 14, 2009WINCHESTER -- John Adams and Danny Nolan were stunned as they let seven match points slip away in the second set at No. 1 doubles.May 13, 2009WINCHESTER -- Shenandoah outfielder Scott Lambert and five others, also on the baseball team, huddled around a computer on Sunday night in the Winchester home they share.STEPHENS CITY -- Nevermind that Brentsville and Millbrook have been the queens of Northwestern District softball circles the last few years. STEPHENS CITY -- Finally back on the field, in a game that actually yielded a result this time, Tre Porter and the rest of Sherando's baseball team didn't waste the opportunity. May 12, 2009Sherando players and coaches rush to unravel the tarp and cover the field after rain started falling in the third inning of the Warriors' game against James Wood on Monday afternoon. The game was eventually postponed. Dennis Grundman/DailyMay 9, 2009FORT VALLEY -- His body doesn't forgive him like it used to. After a sparring session on Tuesday, Scotty Hosaflook parked his 45-year-old body on a wooden bench, rested his elbows on his knees and looked up at his trainer, Scott Farmer.Audio slideshow: Blessed to be back in the ring QUICKSBURG -- The twitch muscles in Colin Christensen's legs are weak. That lack of strength, which Christensen cites as one of his "downfalls as a distance runner," prohibits the Strasburg junior from reaching that extra gear in the final leg of the 1600- and 3200-meter runs, and has kept him winless all season.
