Chronic Wasting Takes 200-Mile Leap in Nebraska
Grand Island, NE – Chronic wasting disease was found in several new parts of Wyoming this fall, but it's taken what seems to be a huge leap in Nebraska. A white-tailed deer harvested by a hunter last month near Grand Island, Nebraska tested positive for CWD. The case near Grand Island was confirmed this week after testing by Dr. Beth Williams at the Wyoming State Vet Lab. Nebraska found its first chronic wasting case in 2000 and this marks the eastern-most point where CWD has been discovered. In fact, the disease had never been seen outside of the Nebraska Panhandle, roughly 200 miles from Grand Island. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says it plans to collect and test more deer from around Grand Island to determine how well-established CWD is there. It's important to note that one animal from an area doesn't mean the disease has taken hold, and a recent Wyoming case illustrates that point. Two infected deer were found near Worland in 2003, but none in that area this year. Dr. Williams also says it's not unheard of for white-tailed deer to wander great distances.

Characterization of a multiwavelength Brillouin-erbium fiber laser based on a linear cavity configuration
Applied Optics, Vol. 44, Issue 14, pp. 2827-2831 (2005)
Acrobat PDF (126 KB)
We experimentally demonstrate a simple method for generating a multiwavelength Brillouin comb by utilizing a linear cavity of hybrid Brillouin-erbium fiber lasers (BEFLs). The optimization of Brillouin pump wavelength, power, and erbium gain played a significant role in determining the maximum number of Brillouin Stokes signals generated. Simultaneous and stable multiple-wavelength laser output of 22 lines with 10.88-GHz channel spacing has been obtained with good flatness. Various parameters such as 980-nm pump power, Brillouin pump wavelength, and Brillouin pump power that affect the performance of a multiwavelength BEFL system have been investigated. An analysis of the tuning range of the system is presented.

Plenty of colour to keep me happy in this comp I was quite taken by the variety of rocks - their form and colour, when I took this. The coast here is totally different to the Glamorgan Heritage Coast where Limestone and shale form the predominant colours alongside grey sea-turned rocks.

Lovely, Alun.
Just a thought: the sky seems a little weak in comparison with the very strong foreground. It may be worth building a little more density to redress the imbalance.
It may or may not work, but may be worth a try. Doesn't need much.

Kiara Mia free videos galleries
Veronica Rodriguez wants to be the best lay in town, but there's only so much you can learn without an experienced MILF to show you the ropes. That's why she turned to Kiara Mia and her Whore Academy. Kiara Mia is one of the naughtiest MILF there is, and her private lessons can turn any amateur slut into a professional penis pleaser. First she teaches her how to properly tease a man with some sexy black stockings and lingerie, and then teaches her the best way to suck a dick. From there, it's time to share that big cock and fuck their way to a nice load of jizz to share!
Kiara Mia heard a little rumor about her best friend Bridgette B's roommate Keiran, and it's so fucking spicy, they just have to know for themselves if it's true. Could his cock really be as big as all their girlfriends claim it is? These best friends share everything, and the thought of a rod that massive sliding into her milf pussy, is really turning Kiara on. She convinced her slutty friend to initiate a nasty little threesome, and see if they can't just have their pussies pounded by that huge cock.
Just try telling a super-hot milf like Kiara Mia what to do. She's so incredibly sexy she knows no man can resist her advances, including her new step-son Clover. When he tries to get her on board to help plan his dad's birthday party, she brushes him off. Check out the super-hot underwater fucking that goes down once they move the party into the pool.
Danny Mountain has been fantasizing about banging a hot doctor, and after searching three hospitals, he's finally found the one! All he wants to do is relieve some of the stress Dr. Kiara Mia is carrying around by eating out that beautiful pussy and giving her a proper pounding. If only every patient were as generous as Danny!
We took a call to hit up a "bordello," and we weren't about to pass that shit up. When we showed up it turns out there was major miscommunication with the client and instead of wanted her pussy filled, she wanted a role in a play filled. Just before we were about to bust outta there, the bitch dropped some major coin and Brotha Jon Jon was able to drop some passion on this MILF! Trust that...
If your dream is to see one busty hot latina fucking another busty hot latina, then this scene starring Kiara Mia and Nina Mercedez is the scene you've dreamed of! This is really hot and mean!

Woodhead Publishing Series in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition No. 67
All food research centres and universities should have a copy…it would be hard to find a more succinct and up-to-the-minute technical summary on fruit and vegetable technology than this text.Food Technology in New Zealand
…a useful resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics, R&D scientists and food professionals with an interest in GM foods.Food Science and Technology
- reviews techniques and their applications in improving production and product quality - discusses how genetic modification has been applied to specific crops - considers safety and consumer issues
Genetic modification is one of the most important and controversial issues facing the food industry. With its international team of contributors, Fruit and vegetable biotechnology analyses its major impact on fruit and vegetable cultivation and processing. The book begins with an analysis of the methods available to the biotechnologist. Part one then considers the range of traits that have been the subject of modification. Chapter 3 discusses the modification of such agronomic traits as fruit quality and resistance to various kinds of environmental stress, as well as the use of molecular markers in plant breeding. Chapter 4 looks specifically at how biotechnology can improve plant defence mechanisms. The following three chapters then consider the genetic enhancement of fruit and vegetable ripening and post-harvest life, sensory properties such colour and flavour, processing functionality, and nutritional quality. Part two includes a number of case studies illustrating how genetic modification has enhanced particular fruits and vegetables, looking at a range of fruit and vegetables such as tomato, potato, melon, broccoli and cauliflower. Part three of the book considers the important issues of consumer attitudes and risk assessment. Fruit and vegetable biotechnology is an important contribution to a key area of debate, and is essential reading for those involved both in cultivation and the processing of fruit and vegetables.

State bracing for ice storm
"It's certainly going to be some nasty weather. There could be significant ice accumulations, dangerous driving conditions and power outages," said Steve Capriola, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
Gov. Maggie Hassan also announced Friday that the state's Emergency Operations Center would open to handle the storm.
Northern and central areas could see ice accumulations of up to a half-inch or even more, Capriola said.
The southern extent of the icing was still not clear Friday night. Capriola said southern New Hampshire will likely see more rain than freezing rain.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is allowing its parking lot to serve as a primary staging area to receive and deploy the additional crews.
"Ice is really public enemy No. 1 when it comes to power outages," said company spokesman Seth Wheeler.
The company also made sure that it has enough fuses and other supplies needed during a restoration.
Hampton-based Unitil, which also serves customers in the Concord area, has also reached out to third party contractors and secured 70 tree and bucket crews and an additional 50 "wires down and damage assessment support staff" to provide assistance. It will also open its regional emergency operations center in Concord Sunday morning, according to Unitil media relations manager Alec O'Meara said.
"That's one of the things we always have to cope with, the weather in New Hampshire, but we're also very fortunate that we have a proactive Department of Transportation that does an excellent job on our roads," said Janice Crawford, executive director of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Fortunately, with Christmas only a few days away, Crawford said the busiest shopping period is over.
The storm may prompt some people who visit their second homes or other getaway places in the area this weekend to decide to stay through Christmas, she said.

I haven't watched the episode but the review gave me what I needed to know. No Max means no deal to me so I'm going to read all the reviews and wait for the time where he'll come back. Then I'll watch again. It's ridiculous because they went through so much pain putting them together and she was in love with him but they fling it away for some hot hook up.
In Dixon's case, his body reacted very negatively to the drugs he took. If he continued on without a first hand diagnosis (aint ADHD pills supposed to be prescribed by doctors?), he could possibly have complications.
In a way I could related although not really drug-related. I had an addiction over caffeine back in my frosh year. One time during a team building escapade at a resort with my college org, I had one too many cups of coffee and not only did it bring me to a whole new level of a coffee high, I also suffered a long period of negative mood swings that lasted a few weeks.
Dixon should prolly need some good rest, and lots of water to keep a clear head all of the time and be continually inspired.
My college peeps had it worse. They either pick one or all of the following: 1)drinking coffee, 2)drinking energy drinks, 3)drinking sports drinks, 4)smoking, and the most extreme but could really lead you to explusion, 5)drug abuse (whether or not it's legal or not as long as it's becoming a major concern when you are caught using within or around the premises or being under the influence at all)
But despite it all, Dixon is still a jerk for passing on the opportunity to even pursue a college education. Not a lot of people his age get that chance so he was lucky that had that kind of privilege (even though education is above all a right, not a privilege).
By earning a degree in Music Education (or anything related) with a hot toasty diploma at hand, he can purusue his dreams with nothing to stop him. He could have the tools, the knowledge and wisdom that would have prepared him for the real world. Real-world experience right after high school can be cool and all but nothing beats flourishing your talent in an avenue for him to grow and mature.
I see bad times ahead for Dixon so he better watch out.
Cannot stand Austin, i agree i really dont want to see them become a couple I WANT MAX BACK why did they have to split them up
i'm glad someone noticed that somethings not right with Dixon it was hoping they wouldnt drag it on for too long
i really hope that Raj sticks around and him and Ivy get more airtime
this epidsode wasnt one of the best but any episode that features Liam with his top off is always one worth rewatching ;)
Everyone I know in college took Adderall or ADHD medication to keep up with schoolwork. But no one I know got addicted and it certainly didn't affect their personality (they didn't become jerks like Dixon). I'm not saying it's not possible, just a little ridiculous for this show.
I like Austin. He's cute and funny so I hope he sticks around.
I'm glad this episode kinda drifted off from Naomi. I like her a lot, but I think it's time to share the spotlight with other character too. Nevertheless, she still manages to amaze me with her techniques as Naomi. I still like her chemistry with Max and Austin and I need her to pick someone fast before I do it for her! Side note: How does she always manage to look so good in everything?
As for Navid and Silver, I'm glad that he and Silver were not acting (much) like a couple this episode. It should be a full time thing. Anyway, Silver's storyline with Brandy is excellent. It's fresh and exciting. Navid should kick Lelia out! If she's "18 and can do whatever she wants", that means she can move out and do whatever she wants on the street! This bitch needs to be sent over to live with her parents or put in Amal's house! Speaking of Amal, wow, threatening Silver? Hopefully her potential death will actually split Navid and her up.
I can't believe how caring Adrianna has become for Dixon! Mainly because I've never seen a scene with them until this season, but it's really good to see a caring side from Adrianna, as she's been a selfish character these past 3 seasons. Although, I still like her singing! It was sad to see the way Dixon treated her, but he was right. However, it's the drugs talking, so I know that it'll eventually resolve itself. Speaking of the drugs, nice catch there Adrianna!
Liam trying to be a model was hysterical! I've never seen someone try to try so hard and manage to fail. I really feel bad for him. I'm glad that he got a bigger cheque. The guys a great character and he always manages to fall short on everything. I'm confused to why he managed to get $200.00 and then $10,000 the next day. Wish I could be a model.
Poor little Annie! She hasn't managed to catch a break at all this season! I really feel sorry for her. I like the chemistry between her and that guy. It's random, but it's not very Annie like, so I like it. She's reminding me of Brenda Walsh. But did Patrick really just pay for her services or did he pity her story?
Finally! Ivy and Raj's storyline is getting investment! I know he'll eventually die, possibly during mid-season, but it's great to see a side to Ivy that's never be seen - emotion!

People are way too hard on Blaine Gabbert, IMO. It's no secret I liked him before the draft and I still do. But something that IMO gets lost in all the Gabbert hate is that he was in the same hs recruiting class as Andrew luck, Landry jones and ej Manuel. In other words, he is really young. And even worse he is on a crap team with a terrible offense who's only proven weapon is hurt.
Gabbert is gonna be one of those guys that gets another chance a little later in his career with a better team and puts it all together.

Wayne Rooney's all-round masterclass helps United climb to summit
Manchester Utd 4-0 Hull City: Observations
Imagine life without Wayne Rooney. He is far too valuable and many fans will hope that he doesn't follow Ronaldo and instead avoid the temptations of Real Madrid. He is priceless. This was an all-round performance from the forward, scoring four goals and taking his tally up to an impressive 19 goals this term.
Understandably, there was no full-house at Old Trafford, in protest to the Glazer family, who as usual were absentees. "Love United, Hate Glazers" was sung from the United faithful, and plenty of spectators brought along their green and gold scarves. If the Glazers were to watch this match (unlikely), I'd suggest they turn down the volume.
This was a game in which Manchester United had dominated from start to finish, in a similar manner to the two Wigan games this season (both 5-0). United had missed a host of chances throughout after Rooney had given the Red Devils the lead early on. However, the last ten minutes saw three goals, all scored by a clinical Wayne Rooney.
It took just eight minutes for Man Utd to open the scoring. Paul Scholes shot was well saved by Boaz Myhill, Hull City's hero last week in their game against Tottenham, but the ball fell into the path of Rooney who routinely dispatched. Owen had a great chance to double the lead before half time, but his effort was feeble. That being one of the many chances gone to waste in this match.
Rooney scored the second as the game was drawing to a close, smashing in after collecting Michael Carrick's pass. Nani then supplied a beautiful cross down the right which Rooney headed home, before he wrapped it up with a low finish in additional time.
Michael Owen had little luck in front of goal, but having said that, his ability to link up play and movement was impressive. Paul Scholes, however, rolled back the years. 59 passes in total, 58 of them successful. For any central midfielder, that is something to smile about.
Nani played well, too, his highlight of the day was the sumptuous cross he delivered to Rooney to make it 3-0. Rio Ferdinand, back from the sidelines, also had a good game. "Terrific yes – it was great to see him back." Sir Alex Ferguson was pleased with Rio's comeback, too. He should be pleased with this performance, Wayne Rooney, imperious as always. Manchester United reach the summit, let's hope they're still there come May.
One response to "Wayne Rooney's all-round masterclass helps United climb to summit"
Hakan says :
Great to see Rooney in this kind of goal-scoring form, but at the same time it makes you wonder how we will cope if he gets injured.
I have to say I was surprised by the quality of Nani's performance. Let's hope he can keep it up.

Language | Tamil |
Kalloori (English: College) is a Tamil language film by director Balaji Shakthivel. The movie was produced by Shankar's banner S Pictures and the story was based on the college campus featuring Tamannaah and debutant, Akil. Audio was released under Shankar's own audio company S Musics; music was scored by Joshua Sridhar and lyrics were penned by Na. Muthukumar. The film was dubbed in Telugu language as Kalasala. Upon release, it received positive to moderate reviews from the critics and was an average grosser at the box office.
The film begins with group of students clearing weeds near a roadside tree. The scene flashes back a few years earlier in a bus with a lot of college students heading towards Government Arts College in a small town. A set — Muthu, Kayalvizhi, Adhilakshmi, Nagarani, Albert, Kaamatchi, Salima, Iyanar — are introduced as friends since high school. There is a small build up to the introduction of the hero (Muthu played by newcomer Akil), who is part and parcel of the circle. All are studying in the same class. They enter into the college for the first time.
In the classroom they see a new girl Shobhana (played by Tamannaah), who is strikingly different. She looks depressed and sad; she is aloof. The friends are puzzled by her in the beginning and later they learn she lost her mom recently in an accident. The group sympathizes for her and brings her into its fold. The girl soon becomes a member of their group and ditches her plans to pursue her course in Delhi. She simply does it to be with these friends during college.
Muthu who initially has a crush on Shobhana later abandons the feeling due to the respect of the friendship they have developed among their group. The movie goes on to narrate the college life with fun and colour. It shows the strength of the friendship and the backgrounds of the friends; most of them are from poor families. Muthu has an aim in his life. Being an athlete, he wants to excel in sports and get a good job through sports quota to give his poor family a new lease of life.
Shobhana, who is from a wealthy family background, feels sympathy for Muthu after she sees the conditions he and his family lives in and is really moved by his perseverance and helps him achieve his goal by encouraging him in every chance. In fact as true friend many do the same and so does Shobhana. She even advises him that there is more he has to and capable of achieving in life so he should take her encouragements as a way to improve his career and nothing else. But eventually her encouraging stance turns into some sort of special attachment with him. Slowly love develops in the minds of both but they chose to put it on the back seat for the sake of the larger friendship they share with the group. In fact the poor lovers don't even share their feelings.[1]
The narration moves on to a point when they are compelled by the circumstances to come out with their feelings but life has some other designs.
As the story moves swiftly, the film draws to a close where all the friends go for an educational trip organised in their college with a climatic ending.

Critical reception[edit]
The film received positive to moderate reviews from the critics. Behind woods rightly penned that the movie works but its melliflous pace might have an impact on its prospects at the box office.[3] Kollywood Today mentioned that the movie could be watched once.[4] Indiaglitz pointed out that the climax scene was credibly portrayed but didn't fit well into the script.[5] Rediff praised the movie saying that Kalloori might be devoid of action, item songs and glitzy costumes — but what it gives you is the real deal. And reality is always much more interesting than fiction.
There were good reviews but certain negative reactions from viewers and media made the director change the climax and made it more convincing to the audience. The climax of the film is based on a real-life incident in Dharmapuri where three girls were burnt to death inside a bus during riots.[6]
Na. Muthukumar's nostalgia-bound lyrics and Joshua Sridhar's impeccable style of music had given the viewers a fusion of 1980s-style music peppered with digital beats and rhythm. The music was received very well.[7]

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said.

On top of basics like code folding and syntax coloring, BBEdit has flexible, multilanguage code completion, nonmodal search and replace across multiple files (so you can keep multiple document and search windows open), a smart Scratchpad that automaintains its state and contents, multiplatform Web browser preview, and--as they say, but in this case it's particularly apt--much, much more. The most recent update adds a Sleep command, support for Growl and LassoScript, and improvements to expert preferences, MobileMe syncing, Terminal integration, FTP implementation, and more.
BBEdit has certainly attracted more competition over its many years--and you can find pieces of its functionality in a variety of cheaper apps--but this app remains popular for a reason, with its rich, robust feature set and tons of options for customization.

I haven't found anything is couldn't open.
Couldn't find nothing.
"Good (closer to 3.5 stars), but still needs some work"
Version: BBEdit 10.1
Very good with C++, but really could be improved as a HTML editor
1) No color palette for CSS that I could see. For CSS, it does present a single list of colors, but that is far-short of a color palette.
2) <!-- #bbinclude "name" --><!-- end bbinclude --> really needs some work in that the file "name" contents are always presented via the "Update" tool. If "name" is super big, I assure you that is super-annoying, big-time. PageSpinner's <!-- ps_include="name" --> doesn't show the contents of "name". Could not BBEdit simply add a preference to show or not show with the tool "Update"? -
"great text editor with programming additions"
Version: BBEdit 9.6.3
allows for great text editing regardless of size, great tools
the usage of the programming languages isn't evident
great must have programmer editor
"Version 9.6.1 Buggy"
Version: BBEdit 9.6.1
Love this product. Used it for years. Versatile. No gratuitous eye candy. It's for real coders. Tech Support is superb.
Had to go back to version 9.5.1. Version 9.6.1 is buggy. Crashes, sudden displays of unknown and unrequested characters.
Still the best on the market. A coder's true friend. History tells me that Bare Bones Software will correct all the current version's problems. Soon, I hope!
"this is one of the best html editors out there"
Version: BBEdit 9.3.1
I have been using BBEdit for years and it is just so easy to use to create html and to edit html. Nothing else comes close in my books.
None. it is just a good solid program.
You won't be disappointed. Wish it worked on PC.
"For text editing there is no product better than BBedit"
Version: BBEdit 9.3
You can open just about any file with BBedit, it will search and replace almost any character in the file. Great for any programmer who wants to format their code for easy editing. Has more options than you can imagine using.
It is a little over priced for a text editor, but they have a free product for people who do not want to pay for a text editor.
Great product well worth the money if you have a need for BBedit's features.
"Agree with TimGavin"
Version: BBEdit 9.0.2
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
What were they thinking? Or have I missed something? The new "Find" tool is totally unusable for me. No option for choosing multiple documents, for example. I, too, am reverting to v 8.
(But what does tim mean when he says "I'll continue to use 8 until Panic gets around to adding folding to Coda")
One star. Otherwise, v 8 continues to deserve five. -
"Nice editor"
Version: BBEdit 9.0.2
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It is a nice editor but for a huge price.
There are another good programs for a little price.
If you want a powerful tool than you are right here. -
"Simply the best..."
Version: BBEdit 9.0.2
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The following new features in Release 9 make a big difference in my work with html:
1. Projects
2. Auto-complete for html tags
3. Edit in search windows
For working with large web sites, nothing else comes close. This is a mature, powerful text editor. -
"Still stuck in 68k land."
Version: BBEdit 8.7.1
If you ever need to reverse the text order in a document this might be useful, but when have you ever needed to do that.
BBEdit is so stuck in the dark ages of programming that it's not even funny. It touts itself as a source-code editor, Apple Xcode works many orders of magnitude better and faster and comes free with Mac OS X, as well as a free download. The guy behind BBEdit seems to think that his version of TextEdit is worth as much as Apple's entire operating system. If you want to try it go ahead, the program hasn't been substantively changed in 7 or 8 years. The developer knows nothing about the current ways to do things in OS X and is a left over 68k mac guy that refuses to learn. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS.

Challenge U.S. Immigrant Detention and Deportation Policies
The U.S. government detained nearly 400,000 people in immigration custody in some 350 facilities at an annual cost of more than $1.7 billion in 2009. The number of detention beds has grown to more than 33,000, with construction of more facilities underway. These numbers have increased under the Obama Administration. According to Detention Watch Network visitor's discussion guide,
This crisis is not limited to the undocumented—long-term green-cardholders with minor offenses, survivors of trafficking and domestic violence, and those fleeing persecution also are detained and deported by the thousands. Over eighty percent of detained immigrants go through the immigration system with no lawyer. Many are denied their fair day in court owing to mandatory and arbitrary detention laws and policies that severely limit judicial discretion in immigration cases. While detained, immigrants face horrific human rights abuses, including mistreatment by guards, solitary confinement, the denial of medical attention and limited or no access to their families, lawyers and the outside world. In many cases, these conditions have proven fatal: since 2003, a reported 107 people have died in immigration custody.
At the same time, the Department of Homeland Security is increasing the role of local police in immigration enforcement and signing accords under ICE ACCESS programs (such as 287G, Secure Communities, Criminal Alien Program) that involve local police without sufficient training or oversight. This has led to an increase in racial profiling in many communities.
The United Methodist Church affirms the human rights of all immigrants regardless of status. Resolution 3281 of The Book of Resolution of The United Methodist Church (2008), "Welcoming the Migrant to the U.S." and international human rights standards, including the United Nations Convention on Migrant Rights, affirm that human rights are inherent and do not stop at the border. The church calls for an end to all detention and deportation until the broken immigration system is fixed (Resolution ¶3281).
United Methodist Women is particularly concerned about the welfare of women, youth and children facing harsh detention and deportation policies as families are torn apart. In May 2010 more than 2,000 United Methodist Women members and allies marched at Assembly in St. Louis, Mo., to challenge detention and deportation policies and call for due process and an end to racial profiling. United Methodist Women have engaged in vigils from Raymondville, Texas, to Nashville, Tenn., to New York City to challenge these policies. United Methodist Women members signed more than 3,000 postcards to Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano calling for dignity—not detention—in immigration enforcement policy, and in September 2010 United Methodist Women leaders delivered them to Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Washington, D.C.
What you can do:
- View the film The Visitor (2007), a warm and touching feature film about detention policy, and have a group discussion. For a discussion guide, visit ActiveVoice.net.
- Find out if your state or local police plan to sign an ICE ACCESS program involving local police in immigration enforcement. Write letters to the police chief, city council or governor opposing these deals. For a toolkit on challenging ICE ACCESS contracts, visit Uncover the Truth.
- Download the United Methodist Women postcard to Janet Napolitano and circulate in your unit. Send signed copies to the Women's Division and we'll send them to Ms. Napolitano.
- Join Detention Watch Network's "Dignity Not Detention" campaign to stop expansion of detention and demand due process for immigrants. You'll get updates about how to get involved locally and nationally.
- Consider holding a vigil at a detention center. (See United Methodist Women's How to: Organize a Public Witness for Immigrant and Civil Rights").
Monitor immigrant human rights violations appearing in your local newspaper. Send the news clips to HURRICANE, the Human Rights Immigrant Community Action Network, at:
National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, 310 8th Street, Suite 303, Oakland, CA 94607. This partner organization compiles these incidents into an annual report. See www.nnirr.org for recent reports. - Speak out against incidents of racial profiling by police in your community. Write a letter to the editor or make a statement to the media from your United Methodist Women unit.
- Learn more about U.S. detention policies. Read "Deportation 101" from Families for Freedom.
- Find out if there is a detention center in your community and learn about conditions. An interactive map of detention centers is available at the Detention Watch Network.
- Visit people in detention. (See United Methodist Women's How to: Visit Migrants in Detention in Your Community")
- Get in touch with other groups focused on enforcement and detention in your community.

I am pleased with my foot rest - it is light to carry, not too high and comfortably supports my feet while I sit and use my laptop or watch TV.
It is covered in strong fabric so I don't think it will wear through easily and you can unzip the cover if you need to clean it.
My only problem has been that my husband keeps putting his feet on it too, so I suppose I will have to get him one.

There is always the possibility of being surprised at the movies.
Imagine my astonishment at enjoying "Under Siege 2: Dark Territory." My hopes were not high. Even its star, Steven Seagal, sounded downbeat when he reported, a few days before the movie opened, that he felt "down" while he was making it, because of a split with his wife. He hoped it didn't show too much on the screen.
It doesn't.
Perhaps that's because it's hard to assess the psychic condition of a person running on top of a train, throwing bombs and fighting terrorists with knives. You don't know if he's depressed, or just concentrating.
In the movie, Seagal is a man of few words, little insight, and much action. Typical dialogue, when quizzed by his niece about the contents of his hand-held Apple Newton: "It's a book - my memoirs - stuff like that . . . " Seagal once again plays Casey Ryback, a onetime Navy SEAL, now a chef. He joins his niece on a cross-country train trip, only to discover that this is the very train chosen for hijacking by the brilliant but demented Travis Dane (Eric Bogosian), who needs it as a moving platform for the powerful computers with which he plans to snatch control of a top-secret U.S. satellite. This is some satellite. It has a camera onboard so powerful it can provide a closeup of a nude sunbather on a rooftop. And it can generate Non-Terrestrially Originated Seismic Events (that makes NOSES, I think) - it causes earthquakes from space.
Dane and his chief of staff Penn (Everett McGill) herd the passengers into the last two cars, and set up their computers. Penn is tough. When the niece tries to Mace him, he grabs the little canister and uses it like Binaca.
Meanwhile, Ryback escapes detection by hiding in the food locker. (Whaddaya know - he was in the food locker in the first film, too.) Dane blows up a Chinese city as a demonstration. We see a standard Mission Control-type room filled with alarmed men in uniforms, reacting to this news. Meanwhile, Ryback recruits a train porter (Morris Chestnut) and wages war on the terrorists.
His weapons are various. He constructs a bomb out of coconut oil, I think, or maybe it was palm oil - high in saturates, anyway.
He kicks a couple of guys off the train. He grabs a machinegun and wages a fierce battle with the men who have taken over the locomotive and are running the train. (I'm not sure, but I think he kills everybody in the cab, which would mean there is no engineer for the last half of the movie, although nobody notices.) The evil Dane meanwhile contacts his backers in "North Korea and the Middle East" and cuts deals. For $1 billion, he will blow up a nuclear reactor hidden under the Pentagon, wiping out "most of the Eastern Seaboard." He doesn't stop to wonder what the U.S. dollar would be worth after that event. Meanwhile, a billionaire in the Middle East offers him $100 million to blow up an airplane with his wife onboard. I have news for this man: We got guys here in Chicago who will take out his wife and save him $99,999,000 and change.
The battle for control of the train continues. And of course it involves still another Doomsday Digital Display: As the destruction of the Eastern Seaboard approaches, the numbers count down from 45 minutes. Who, I always wonder, are these numbers provided for? For that matter, when Dane seizes control of the satellite, lights on it blink, but who's up there to see them? Meanwhile, when there are 13 minutes left, the military guys finally alert the president. Three minutes later, he has been "safely evacuated," which is pretty fast for getting clear of the Eastern Seaboard.
And so I'm sitting there asking all these questions, and grinning, and chuckling, and taking notes like crazy - all of them ending in big question marks. I put three question marks after the neatest trick of all, which is when Seagal outruns a train crash.
Yes, he does. The train crashes head-on into another train, but Seagal is able to run real fast toward the back of the train, faster than the crash, grab a rope from a helicopter, and save himself.
To make this happen, either (a) the movie violates two or perhaps three of Newton's laws, or (b) Seagal can run the 200-yard-dash in well under a second.
I mention all of these tiny logical quibbles because I was amused by them. I was also amused by the film. It isn't as good as the original "Under Siege," but it moves quickly, has great stunts and special effects, and is a lot of fun. And I want one of those little Newtons. I need it for writing my memoirs and stuff.

Ashton Kutcher to play Steve Jobs in new biopic
'Two and a Half Men' star Ashton Kutcher will portray former Apple CEO Steve Jobs in an upcoming indie film, TheWrap reported Monday. Is director Joshua Michael Stern taking a chance on Hollywood's favorite prankster?
(Page 2 of 2)
Initially, the choice of Kutcher for the role of Steve Jobs seems surprising, considering his resumé. But while this might be an elaborate April Fools joke – TheWrap published the breaking news on April 1, but several outlets have corroborated the report – it's not too far fetched, given the list of actors that have played business tycoons before.
Justin Timberlake was applauded for his role in David Fincher's "The Social Network" as Napster founder Sean Parker. (The real Sean Parker said the film was "a complete work of fiction" at a 2011 conference in Munich.) Although Timberlake has appeared in a number of films following "The Social Network," he rose to fame as the leader of boy band 'N Sync and was a surprise choice for the part of Parker.
Leonardo DiCaprio, renowned for playing Jack Dawson in one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, "Titanic," traded romanticism for delusional paranoia in Martin Scorsese's "The Aviator." DiCaprio's acting chops have rarely been called into question, but some wondered if he'd be able to ditch the boyish charm in this unflattering portrait of the obsessive-compulsive millionaire Howard Hughes.
And in 1999 – when Apple began to regain its previous relevance with a line of candy-colored iMacs – the made-for-TV movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley" starred Noah Wyle as Mr. Jobs. (Directed by Martyn Burke, the movie highlights the relationship between Apple co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and their rivalry with Microsoft founder Bill Gates.) Wyle is famous for joining "ER" from 1994 to 2009 as Dr. John Carter, one of the most compassionate and empathetic characters on the show. This was a far cry from the Jobs role, which required Wyle to play – well – a brilliant jerk.
Considering the long list of actors who surpassed audience's expectations, it's possible that Kutcher might not be a bad choice for Jobs' latest biopic. But there's always the possibility that we're going to get "Punk'd."

This is Cindy Grace and I think I chose a Facebook confidential note on teen movies by David Denby. Denby begins with a long description of a typical American teenage film. You can immediately make a connection with the readers that watch these extremely popular movies. Denby's question on page seven ten set up these arguments. He claims movies on that because that's brought and really emotional and so may comes would produce anything that with their audience. Denby explained that ___ different from reality. Movies portray how things be on that and how they actually happened. I was forced to think on my own school which made me agree with Denby's conclusion. ___ middle school ___ there's classic or nerds or jock. If it weren't for these teenage girls appears would have never identified these different groups or given them negative connotations. Therefore perhaps it's not real life that it's influencing these movies but these films that have influenced their life and change ___ to each other and that's a part of the essay that made me

Abstract: Despite showing no evidence of carcinogenicity in laboratory animals, the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) has been associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in some human epidemiology studies, albeit inconsistently. We matched an existing cohort of 2,4-D manufacturing employees with cancer registries in three US states resulting in 244 cancers compared to 276 expected cases. The Standardized Incidence Ratio (SIR) for the 14 NHL cases was 1.36 (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.74–2.29). Risk estimates were higher in the upper cumulative exposure and duration subgroups, yet not statistically significant. There were no clear patterns of NHL risk with period of hire and histology subtypes. Statistically significant results were observed for prostate cancer (SIR = 0.74, 95% CI 0.57–0.94), and "other respiratory" cancers (SIR = 3.79, 95% CI 1.22–8.84; 4 of 5 cases were mesotheliomas). Overall, we observed fewer cancer cases than expected, and a non statistically significant increase in the number of NHL cases.
