Some flu vaccines promise a little more protection
Tuesday, 03 September 2013 02:28 Published in Health & FitnessWASHINGTON (AP) — Flu vaccination is no longer merely a choice between a jab in the arm or a squirt in the nose. This fall, some brands promise a little extra protection.
For the first time, certain vaccines will guard against four strains of flu rather than the usual three. Called quadrivalent vaccines, these brands may prove more popular for children than their parents. That's because kids tend to catch the newly added strain more often.
These four-in-one vaccines are so new that they'll make up only a fraction of the nation's supply of flu vaccine, so if you want a dose, better start looking early.
But that's only one of an unprecedented number of flu vaccine options available this year.
Allergic to eggs? Egg-free shots are hitting the market, too.
Plus there's growing interest in shots brewed just for the 65-and-older crowd, and a brand that targets the needle-phobic with just a skin-deep prick.
"We're moving away from the one-size-fits-all to choosing the best possible vaccine for an individual's age and condition," said Dr. Gregory Poland, an infectious disease specialist at the Mayo Clinic.
"The flip side of that," he said, is that "this will be a confusing year" as doctors and consumers alike try to choose.
Federal health officials recommend a yearly flu vaccine for nearly everyone, starting at 6 months of age. On average, about 24,000 Americans die each flu season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Some questions and answers about the different vaccine varieties to choose from:
Q: What's the difference between those new four-strain vaccines and the regular kind?
A: For more than 30 years, the vaccine has offered protection against three influenza strains — two common Type A strains called H1N1 and H3N2, and one strain of Type B. Flu strains continually evolve, and the recipe for each year's vaccine includes the subtypes of those strains that experts consider most likely to cause illness that winter.
Type A flu causes more serious disease and deaths, especially the H3N2 form that made last year such a nasty flu season. But the milder Type B flu does sicken people every year as well, and can kill. Two distinct Type B families circulate the globe, making it difficult to know which to include in each year's vaccine. Adding both solves the guesswork, and a CDC model estimates it could prevent as many as 485 deaths a year depending on how much Type B flu is spreading.
Q: How can I tell if I'm getting the four-strain vaccine?
A: All of the nasal spray version sold in the U.S. this year will be this new variety, called FluMist Quadrivalent. The catch is that the nasal vaccine is only for healthy people ages 2 to 49 who aren't pregnant.
If you prefer a flu shot, ask the doctor or pharmacist if the four-strain kind is available. Younger children, older adults, pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions all can use flu shots. Four-strain versions are sold under the names Fluzone Quadrivalent, Fluarix Quadrivalent and FluLaval Quadrivalent.
Manufacturers anticipate producing between 135 million and 139 million doses of flu vaccine this year. Only about 30 million doses will offer the four-strain protection.
Q: Who should seek it?
A: Type B flu tends to strike children more than the middle-aged, Poland noted. And he said it's not a bad idea for seniors, who are more vulnerable to influenza in general. But the CDC doesn't recommend one vaccine variety over another, and the American Academy of Pediatrics said either kind is fine — just get vaccinated.
Q: How are these new vaccines different from the high-dose flu shot for seniors?
A: Fluzone High-Dose protects against the traditional three strains of flu, but it quadruples the standard vaccine dose in an effort to rev up age-weakened immune systems don't respond as actively to regular flu shots.
The government calls the high-dose shot an option for seniors, not one that's proved better. Last week, Sanofi Pasteur said initial results from a study of 30,000 seniors vaccinated over the past two flu seasons suggest the high-dose shot is about 24 percent more effective. Federal health officials will have to review the full study results to see if they agree.
Q: What if I'm allergic to eggs?
A: Traditional flu vaccine is made from viruses grown in eggs, and specialists say it's usually not a problem unless someone has a serious egg allergy. But the new FluBlok vaccine eliminates that concern because it is made with cell technology, like many other nonflu vaccines. So far, it's only for use in people ages 18 to 49.
Q: What if I'm scared of needles?
A: If you don't qualify for the ouchless nasal spray vaccine, there is one shot made with a teeny-tiny needle that pricks the skin instead of muscle. Called Fluzone Intradermal, it's available for 18- to 64-year-olds, and protects against the usual three strains.
Q: How soon should I be vaccinated?
A: Early fall is ideal, as it's impossible to predict when flu will start spreading and it takes about two weeks for protection to kick in. But later isn't too late; flu season typically peaks in January or February.
Q: How much does flu vaccine cost?
A: The vaccine is covered by insurance, and Medicare and some plans don't require a copay. Drugstore vaccination programs tend to charge about $30; expect the quadrivalent versions to be slightly more expensive.
Dennis Rodman Heads to North Korea to Visit His 'Friend' Kim Jong Un
Tuesday, 03 September 2013 02:15 Published in National NewsSEOUL (ABC) - Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is on way to Pyongyang today for a five-day visit to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but the trip he said is not to free jailed American missionary Kenneth Bae.
"I'm going to North Korea to meet my friend, Kim," Rodman told reporters while transiting at Beijing's airport earlier today. "It's a friendly gesture."
Bae, currently serving a 15 year sentence of hard labor in North Korea, was arrested for attempting to overthrow the communist government. Negotiations for his release was canceled at the last minute by North Korea just before Robert King, U.S. special envoy on North Korean human rights issues, was to visit Pyongyang last week.
Pyongyang's excuse for the abrupt withdrawal was disapproval of the U.S. military participating in annual joint drills with South Korea.
Rodman, the first American to have met Kim in February, noted this trip is "another basketball diplomacy tour." His earlier visit had stunned the diplomatic world when very little was known about Kim Jong Un's personality.
The former basketball star was spotted hugging, drinking, and laughing with Kim who is known to have been a fan of Rodman from teenage years when he was educated in Switzerland. The trip had been organized by the cable channel Vice to promote an exhibition game and make a documentary.
Rodman has referred Kim as "an awesome kid" and gave lavish praises after spending time with him earlier this year.
Rodman said that Kim's father and grandfather Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung, "were great leaders," according to the Associated Press. "He's proud, his country likes him — not like him, love him, love him," Rodman said of Kim Jong Un. "Guess what, I love him. The guy's really awesome."
Obama must address skeptics, lawmakers about Syria
Tuesday, 03 September 2013 02:09 Published in National NewsWASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is holding its first public hearing about U.S. plans for military intervention in Syria as President Barack Obama seeks to convince skeptical Americans and their lawmakers about the need to respond to last month's alleged sarin gas attack outside Damascus.
Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey were to appear before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday. A classified briefing open to all members of Congress was to take place as well.
The president's request for congressional authorization for limited military strikes against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime is at the heart of all the discussions planned in Washington over the next several days as Obama sends his top national security advisers to the Capitol for a flurry of briefings. And with the outcome of any vote in doubt in a war-weary Congress, Obama was to meet Tuesday with leaders of the House and Senate armed services committees, the foreign relations committees and the intelligence committees.
Obama won conditional support Monday from two of his fiercest foreign policy critics, Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
A congressional vote against Obama's request "would be catastrophic in its consequences" for U.S. credibility abroad, McCain told reporters outside the White House following an hour-long private meeting with the president.
But despite Obama's effort to assuage the two senators' concerns, neither appeared completely convinced afterward. They said they'd be more inclined to back Obama if the U.S. sought to destroy the Assad government's launching capabilities and committed to providing more support to rebels seeking to oust Assad from power.
"There will never be a political settlement in Syria as long as Assad is winning," Graham said.
After a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, polls show most Americans opposed to any new military action overseas. That reluctance is being reflected by senators and representatives, some of whom say Obama still hasn't presented bulletproof evidence that Assad's forces were responsible for the Aug. 21 attack that U.S. intelligence says killed 1,429 people, including more than 400 children. Others say the president hasn't explained why intervening is in America's interest.
After a Labor Day weekend spent listening to concerned constituents, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., said the administration needed to make its case on these points, if only to counter the misinformation and conspiracy theories circulating about Obama's plans.
"Several people asked me if we were only interested in getting Syria's oil," Coons, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "It's important that Americans get the facts."
Petroleum is hardly the most pertinent question. Even before Syria's hostilities began, its oil industry contributed less than half a percent of the world's total output. And Obama has expressly ruled out sending American troops into Syria or proposing deeper involvement in the Arab country's violent civil war.
But such queries are a poignant reminder of the task awaiting the administration as it argues that the United States must exert global leadership in retaliating for what apparently was the deadliest use of chemical weapons anywhere over the past 25 years.
Obama has insisted he was considering a military operation that was limited in duration and scope. The White House said Monday that Obama was open to working with Congress to make changes in the language of the resolution, which Congress was expected to begin considering next week.
In a conference call Monday with House Democrats, several members of Obama's own party challenged the administration's assertions.
In a post on his website, Rep. Rick Nolan, D-Minn., reflected a view shared by at least some of his colleagues: "I am vehemently opposed to a military strike that would clearly be an act of war against Syria, especially under such tragic yet confusing circumstances as to who is responsible for the use of chemical weapons."
Their skepticism is shared by many tea party Republicans and others, whose views range from ideological opposition to any U.S. military action overseas to narrower fears about authorizing the use of force without clear constraints on timing, costs and scope of the intervention.
The most frequent recurring questions: How convinced is American intelligence about the Assad regime's culpability for the chemical attack, a decade after woefully misrepresenting the case that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction? And how does a military response advance U.S. national security interests?
Pressuring the administration in the opposite direction are hawks and proponents of humanitarian intervention among both Democrats and Republicans who feel what Obama is proposing is far too little.
Obama's task is complicated further because he is leaving for a three-day trip to Europe on Tuesday night, visiting Stockholm, Sweden, and then attending an economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.
The simple case for action is the administration's contention that the sarin gas attack violated not only the international standard against using such weapons but also Obama's "red line," set more than a year ago, that such WMD use wouldn't be tolerated.
Intervening in Syria's conflict is no light matter, however. Having claimed more than 100,000 lives in the past 2½ years, the fight has evolved from a government crackdown on a largely peaceful protest movement into a full-scale civil war scarily reminiscent of the one that ravaged Iraq over the last decade. Ethnic massacres have been committed by both sides, which each employ terrorist organizations as allies.
Since Obama's stunning announcement Saturday that he'd seek congressional authority, dozens of members of Congress have issued statements. Most have praised the administration for its course of action, and several have suggested they are leaning one way or another. But precious few have come out definitively one way or another.
McCain said he believed many members were still "up for grabs."

While researching a story on 4K, UHDTV, I came across a statement from "Digital Europe". With a mission to "to foster, on behalf of our members, a business, policy and regulatory environment in Europe that best realises our vision." This organisation states that "they represent all of the major TV manufacturers and as such, is in a unique perspective to comment on how the nascent UHD market will develop."
This is their proposed baseline for 4K displays:
In other words, just a larger HD panel. Use the existing manufacturing plant, and add nothing except more pixels. It completely ignores the work of NHK and others.
8-bit, pah? Everyone who has contributed to research in this area talks of 10-bit as a minimum to avoid visible banding or posterization. And no increase in color gamut.
This just exposes the CE manufacturers as charlatans. They failed to foist 3D onto the public, so they want to sell 4K. Hang the quality, yet anyone who buys 4K is looking for a premium product. They will want true to life color reproduction and wider dynamic range.
For the CE marketer, 4K is an easy sell. It's 4K instead of only 1080. The fact that one is picture width and the other is height is just an annoying detail, one number is 4 x the other, that all that matters.
Anyone ponying up thousands for a 4K screen with that spec is going to be very disappointed. It's an insult to the scientists at NHK that they can ignore all their research in pursuit of a quick buck.
Just as the public response to 3D sets was less that enthusiastic, the CE guys deserve the same reception with 4K if they are going to run with that spec. As the movie guys understand, better quality means higher bit depth for HDR, and wider gamut for stunning color reproduction. If you are looking for quality, I would head for the nearest movie theatre.

In Smith v. Bayer Corp. [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the court heard arguments on two issues. First, under the re-litigation exception of the Anti-Injunction Act [28 USC § 2283], whether a district court can prohibit parties from seeking class certification in state court after denying certification to a similar class, and when the parties and claims are not identical to those in the state court action. Second, whether the district court has personal jurisdiction over absent class members that would allow the court to prevent them from requesting class certification in state court. The US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit held [opinion, PDF] that the re-litigation exception permitted an injunction preventing parties denied class certification in district court from seeking class certification in state court. The court also held that the protections available to absent class members in the context of an adverse class certification ruling satisfy due process and are sufficient to bind them to the district court's decision. Counsel for the petitioners argued that his clients, individuals who were not named in the district court class action, should not be precluded by the district court's decision:
They never received notice of that prior proceeding; they never received an opportunity to appear and be heard; they never received an opportunity to opt out; and they never received an opportunity to appeal the decision denied by certification. No precedent of this Court would justify treating ... people as parties under preclusion principles under these circumstances.
In Stern v. Marshall [oral arguments transcript, PDF; JURIST report], the court heard arguments on whether a bankruptcy court has jurisdiction to adjudicate proof of claims. The case revisits the estate battle [JURIST report] of model Anna Nicole Smith (Vickie Lynn Marshall). The US Court of the Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held [opinion, PDF] that the bankruptcy court exceeded its jurisdiction in ruling on the case. The case had returned to the Ninth Circuit after the Supreme Court's 2006 ruling in Marshall v. Marshall [Duke Law backgrounder; JURIST report] that federal courts can in some cases decide disputes which involve state probate laws. Counsel for the petitioner argued that the bankruptcy court had jurisdiction to rule on the case under Article III [Cornell LII backgrounder] of the US Constitution. Counsel for the respondent argued that court precedent gave the bankruptcy court the proper jurisdiction.
In October, the Ecuadorian government announced it will revise a controversial austerity law following unrest [JURIST report] and a suspected coup attempt in September. Police officers fired tear gas at Correa, surrounded the hospital at which he was being treated and trapped him there for 12 hours while protesting the Public Service Law [text, PDF, in Spanish], which they feared would reduce their pay and benefits. In September 2008, Ecuadorian voters overwhelmingly approved a new constitution [JURIST report] that consolidated and significantly expanded the powers held by Correa, including the power to dissolve the legislature and pass laws by decree. The special assembly charged with rewriting the constitution provisionally approved [JURIST report] the document in July 2008. The success of Correa's referendum fulfilled his pledge to rewrite the country's constitution after his coalition's landslide victory [JURIST report] in October 2007. Critics characterized the 444-article constitution as giving the president too much control over the economy and the judiciary.
In addition to the PCP, rights groups and international organizations have also heavily criticized [JURIST report] al-Bashir and the Sudanese government. In September, the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] called for the arrest of al-Bashir [JURIST report] during his visit to Kenya. Al-Bashir faces seven counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity as well as three charges of genocide [JURIST reports]. Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan urged Kenya to reaffirm its cooperation with the ICC by arresting al-Bashir [JURIST report]. In July, an Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] report [JURIST report] claimed that the National Security Services in Sudan (NISS) were brutally suppressing internal dissent and targeting rights workers. Also in July, the ICC called for al-Bashir's arrest [JURIST report] during his visit to Chad, marking his first visit to an ICC member state since the warrants were issued.
In addition to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) [official website; JURIST news archive] and trials before Rwandan courts, several European countries have utilized their legal systems [AFP report] to try suspects accused of crimes related to the Rwandan genocide. In June, a Finnish court convicted former Rwandan pastor [JURIST report] Francois Bazaramba on charges of genocide and murder and sentenced him to life in prison. Canadian prosecutors announced in November that a second suspect had been charged [JURIST report] under Canada's Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act [text, PDF]. The first man charged under the act was Desire Munyaneza. In October, he was sentenced to life imprisonment [JURIST report] for war crimes committed during the Rwandan genocide. Munyaneza was convicted [JURIST report] in May 2009 of seven counts of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes under the act.
The Tunisia Constitutional Council officially announced [JURIST report] last week that President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali [official website] had permanently left the office of the president. The council, the country's highest legal authority on constitutional issues, declared that the leader of the lower house of parliament, Foued Mebezza, will assume power [AFP report] until elections are held in two months. The council made its ruling at the request of Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi [Reuters profile] and based its ruling on article 57 of the constitution, declaring a "definitive" vacation of the presidency. Before flying out of Tunis to seek refuge in Saudi Arabia, Ben Ali signed a decree granting interim presidential powers to Ghannouchi, attempting to leave open the possibility of returning to office. Mebezza took the oath of office [Al Jazeera report] on Saturday and according to the council he should organize new presidential elections within 60 days.
The court also denied certiorari in al-Adahi v. Obama [docket], an appeal by a Yemeni detainee seeking reinstatement of a previous order that he be released from Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. The US District Court for the District of Columbia had held that the US did not present sufficient evidence to justify further detention of the accused al-Qaeda supporter, but it was reversed [JURIST reports] by a unanimous panel of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The government has argued that Mohammed al-Adahi, detained since 2002, was a supporter or member of the Taliban and/or al-Qaeda, claiming that al-Adahi had acted as an instructor at al Qaeda camp al Farouq, had familial ties to both the Taliban and al Qaeda, and had been employed as a bodyguard for Osama bin-Laden, and that al-Adahi's story lacked credibility. Justice Elena Kagan did not take part in the decision to deny certiorari. It is unclear whether she will participate in any of the impending Guantanamo habeas cases.
The Court granted certiorari in a consolidated case over the issue of whether the Supremacy Clause preempts Medicaid recipients and providers from bringing a suit challenging a California state law that reduces reimbursement rates. The court consolidated three cases that raised the issue: Maxwell-Jolly v. Independent Living Center of Southern California [docket; cert. petition, PDF], Maxwell-Jolly v. Santa Rosa Mem. Hosp. [docket; cert. petition, PDF], and Maxwell-Jolly v. California Pharmacists Association [docket; cert. petition, PDF]. Medicaid providersdoctors, hospitals, and pharmaciesare angry over a series of cutbacks [LAT report] by the California Legislature reducing reimbursement payments in an attempt to handle the state's financial crisis. Lawyers for the state argue that the the providers have no right to challenge the reimbursement rates and that they do not have any right to a particular rate of reimbursement.
The military court summoned the men [All Africa report] in November to stand trial on the charges. The former officials published a paper [text] in August criticizing Kagame's government for corruption and human rights violations. In July, the South African foreign ministry blamed foreign agents [BBC report] for a shooting that left Nyamwasa injured. Rwanda's government claims Nyamwasa and Karegeya were behind a grenade attack [Monitor report] in Rwanda's capital city of Kigali last February. Nyamwasa is wanted in France and Spain [Business Day report] for his role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide [JURIST news archive].
This is an important moment for the People of Lebanon. It marks the launch of the judicial phase of the Tribunal's work. For the first time, a legal case has been launched by an international Tribunal against those responsible for a political assassination in Lebanon. This step has been taken at the request and on behalf of the People of Lebanon and in fulfillment of a mandate from the United Nations Security Council. This is also an important moment for the international community - and for those who believe in international justice.
In August, Hezbollah submitted evidence to the STL [JURIST report] linking Israel with the bombing that killed Hariri and 22 others. The STL asked for the evidence a week earlier after Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah [BBC profile] claimed to have proof that Israel was behind the bombing. Last February, the head of the STL reassured [JURIST report] the Lebanese public that the investigation is on track. When asked about the progress of the investigation into the death of Hariri, the head of the STL "underlined the fact that the Tribunal already has in place all the legal and administrative instruments necessary for its work, and is fully operational so that justice may be dispensed with complete independence and impartiality in accordance with the highest international standards." The STL was established in 2005 at the request of the Lebanese government to try those alleged to be connected to the bombing in which Hariri was killed by explosions detonated near his motorcade in Beirut.

What is pudendal neuralgia?
Pudendal neuralgia is a rare problem with the pudendal nerve that can affect both men and women. The pudendal nerve runs through your pelvic region, including your genitals, urethra, anus, and perineum. Your perineum is the area between your anus and genitals. The condition is also known as pudendal neuropathy, pudendal nerve entrapment, cyclist's syndrome, pudendal canal syndrome, or Alcock's syndrome.
Pudendal neuralgia can cause pain, especially when you sit. Men with pudendal neuralgia may have pain in the buttocks, scrotum, penis, and perineum. Women with pudendal neuralgia may have pain in their buttocks, vulva, urethra, and perineum.
For more information, talk to your doctor.

Italy green-lights largest PV solar plant in Europe
MEMC Electronic Materials subsidiary SunEdison announced Thursday it has received final approval from the Italian government to build a 72-megawatt photovoltaic solar power plant.
The solar services company has found a home for its plant just outside Rovigo, Italy, a city roughly halfway between Bologna and Venice. The choice is not surprising given the community's many progressive green policies and initiatives already in progress.
Rovigo's motto is "the city of change" and it's a member of CLEAR (City and Local Environmental Accounting Reporting), an EU project in which member towns and cities pledge environmental accounting … Read more

The Greatest Timepiece Of All Time?
Swiss watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen opened its new Madison Avenue flagship Wednesday night with a party celebrating Muhammad Ali, the namesake of the latest version of its Big Pilot's Watch and subject of the exhibition, lensed by Howard Bingham, unveiled at the store. Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes both turned up in Muhammad Ali Big Pilot watches designed to look like the legend's red gloves, while Ali's daughter Miya watched from the sidelines.
But the event was far from ring pros only. Thor's Chris Hemsworth and Karolina Kurkova were on hand, as was a very pregnant Adriana Lima, who cut the store's ribbon with CEO Georges Kern. "This is my husband's favorite watch brand," said Lima, wearing a men's watch style herself. "It makes me feel tough!" Lost star Matthew Fox had one, too, which he said suited his offscreen hobby: flying. "I've been waiting for one of these watches for a year and a half," he said. "It tells UTC time, which as a pilot, is the time you use for everything you do."
IWCs are an offscreen, rather than onscreen, indulgence for guests Channing Tatum and Joe Manganiello, too. It's hard to imagine a luxury watch figuring into their next film, Steven Soderbergh's male stripper flick Magic Mike. "I wore head-to-toe gold paint," said Manganiello of his costume, "accessorized with a fig leaf." "I got very comfortable in G-strings," Tatum added. Both prepped for their parts with extreme fitness regimes. So who'd win in the ring? "Well, I know who'd win in a dancing competition," laughed Manganiello. "Channing, hands down."

Law, in the eyes of the American Civil Liberties Union, is a weapon. It is the means by which the power of government is molded and the freedom of the people is shaped for the ACLU's purposes. This is the only explanation for the ACLU's continuing war against that free association of young Americans known as the Boy Scouts.
Last June, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the Scouts' First Amendment right to set the moral parameters for membership in their organization. The Court's decision in Boy Scouts of America vs. James Dale backed the Scouts' policy of excluding homosexuals, atheists, and others who reject the core mission statement embodied in the Scout Oath to ". . . keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight."
The reprisals began almost immediately. Liberals were outraged and redoubled their attacks on the Scouts' beliefs. Newspapers assailed the ruling. A few donors cowed under pressure and withdrew their support. The U.S. Interior Department even mulled the idea of banning the Scouts from using federal land for campouts and jamborees.
But at the forefront of the war to subvert the Court's preservation of diversity is the ACLU. The ACLU's Southern California chapter threatened to sue Orange County, California for renewing the Scouts' 30-year free lease to run a marine-education and recreation camp in Newport Beach. And last month, its lawyers sued San Diego over the Scouts' use of city property in Balboa Park.
To its credit, Orange County's board of supervisors was utterly unmoved by this legal gangsterism. "The county gets sued every day by somebody," said Supervisor Todd Spitzer.
Perhaps. But for the friends of liberty, the nationwide effort to smash the right of free citizens to assemble is worrisome. To smear the Scouts as rednecks using the patina of law is legal prejudice in its most disgusting form.
The enemies of Scouting see no difference between private associations that may receive public benefits (directly or indirectly) and government itself. And in their zeal to attack private groups, they would expand government power far beyond what is wise or moral.
ACLU attorney Martha Matthews told the Orange County Register that the county could not "legally provide a taxpayer-funded benefit to a private organization that asserted its right to ban gay members on religious grounds." The law bars the county from helping a group that "insists on discriminating," she said.
But to understand this specious argument, we must understand that the ACLU isn't seeking greater diversity. It is our choices as individuals to join or not join groups that reflect our beliefs that defines our liberty under the First Amendment.
Even the ACLU does it.
The ACLU does not tend to hire deeply religious Americans who believe that a prayer before a football game is a sign of free devotion. The ACLU excludes Americans who believe in the original intent and law of the Constitution. The ACLU actively discriminates against judges who oppose judicial activism. But under the Bill of Rights, that band of lawyers can gather based on their shared beliefs without fear of reprisal from the government or from the Boy Scouts, as far as that goes.
The Boy Scouts teach young men to respect the law, help the unfortunate, give to the community, and respect and preserve the nation's vast natural resources. Boy Scouts learn the consequences of their actions and the moral worth of teamwork.
No matter. The ACLU wants all-out-war. Yes, the Supreme Court has spoken, but only the most naïve observer believes the fight ends with the Constitution. The fight is the Constitution.
The ACLU holds that the government should not "help" the Boy Scouts. Under this logic, a Scout would be precluded from helping an old lady across the street because that street is supported by tax dollars. Sounds absurd? In several cities, the ACLU is working to lock Scouts out of public schools, asserting that the Scouts "can't have it both ways" that is, they can't claim to be a private organization and "benefit" from public facilities.
The ACLU will not stop its war against the Scouts until they interpret that oath the ACLU way, define diversity the ACLU way, and accept as members those whom the ACLU deems acceptable. Perhaps only when the ACLU creates the merit badges will the campaign end.
In a sense, though, this campaign of legal harassment is just another step for an ACLU that now marches more than symbolically with Nazis and the North American Man-Boy Love Association. What it is doing is just an extension of its plastic, self-serving reading of the Constitution and American law. Only now, the ACLU has moved from interpreting the Constitution to serve its social-engineering whims to working directly on the beliefs of institutions that dare to think differently from their politically correct lawyers.

Pongr Poised to Help Brands Monetize Consumer Photos Shared On Social Networks…and Beyond
Leading photo-marketing platform, Pongr acquires broad IP portfolio from Sightec, to transform the way brands identify and engage with photo-minded consumers
BOSTON, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Photos are king when it comes to social media, with 56% of internet users sharing photos or video online, according to a recent Pew Internet study. However even the largest brands and technology players struggle to monetize the pictures people post to places like Twitter, Facebook®, Instagram, tumblr and Pinterest. Leading photo-marketing platform, Pongr is today announcing a game-changing acquisition of a broad IP portfolio from Sightec, an Israeli computer vision R&D company, a deal designed to alter the way brands leverage the ever-expanding amount of photos shared around the world.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130225/NE64797LOGO-a)
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130225/NE64797-b)
Cementing category leadership while significantly expanding Pongr's current IP and software product suite, the move enables Pongr to offer breakthrough image enhancing and analysis solutions that can detect people and objects within images at groundbreaking new levels. These solutions will help brands uncover highly relevant advertising and marketing opportunities, gain actionable consumer insights, and create opportunities for instant social and mobile engagement with consumers.
"Billions of photos are shared by consumers every month, many of which contain brands or products consumers love or want, yet they remain one of the most underutilized and non-monetized aspects of marketing, especially within the social and mobile space," said Pongr CEO and Co-founder Jamie Thompson. "The addition of Sightec's world-class scientists and technology will enable us to unlock huge value hidden within photos at tremendous scale and accuracy and give brands engagement opportunities they've never had before."
Originally developed for military security camera systems, Sightec's super-resolution technology is capable of improving image quality 10X over typical image enhancement results. It can also detect people and objects within images regardless if they are in the foreground or background. This level of detection requires only 3-5 pixels vs. the 400+ required by competitive systems in use today. These significant advantages are achieved through Sightec's mathematical approach to super-resolution, a contrarian position within the field of computer vision. Pongr will be tuning the technology to make it work for brands and products, and adapting the subpixel registration capabilities for wide-scale brand image detection.
When applied to the Pongr platform, the technology becomes especially potent for matching mobile and desktop advertisements with the contextual relevance of photos consumers take with their mobile devices and share across social networks. The technology will immediately be factored into Pongr's existing direct-response photo marketing platform, increasing the ability to detect the presence of brands, sentiment and sharability.
"We look forward to helping the world's top brands leverage the power of pictures and videos through the use of Pongr. Our technology paired with the Pongr platform can 'see' brands and products within photos that in the past may have been deemed undetectable because the items were either out of the photo's focal point or the overall image quality was too poor," said Sightec CEO Dr. Joseph Francos. Dr. Francos will assume the role of Chief Computer Vision Scientist at Pongr.
Pongr will begin offering the new Sightec technology as part of its direct-response marketing platform immediately. Terms of the deal were undisclosed.
About Pongr
Based in Boston, Pongr is the leading photo marketing platform for the visual world. Through the use of patented image recognition technology, we unlock the value within consumer-shared photos and videos and transform it into actionable intelligence and instant social and mobile engagement opportunities. Companies of all sizes use our platform to power a variety of photo-based marketing activities including; direct-response programs, loyalty and social campaigns, multi-channel promotions and shopper marketing initiatives.

About Sightec
Based in Tel Aviv, Israel, Sightec is a computer vision R&D company focusing on the analysis of video and still images at the subpixel level. Sightec tackles traditional image recognition problems with alternative methodologies and solutions based on mathematical models – contrary to the industry-wide approach of searching for matching "landmarks." Founder and CEO Dr. Joseph Francos is also a professor at Ben Gurion University in Be'er Sheva, in charge of the signal processing track of the Electrical Engineering Department.

Wednesday, March 12, 2014
By Matt Hongoltz-Hetling firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
FARMINGTON — The Board of Selectmen held a closed-door meeting Tuesday night to discuss a personnel matter with the town attorney, Frank Underkuffler.
Board members would not comment on which employee was the subject of the 90-minute discussion, but eight town employees attended the meeting to express their support for the person whom they believed the session involved.
Board Chairman Stephan Bunker said he was satisfied with the results of the discussion.
"We have the benefit of good legal advice," he said. Bunker said that he couldn't say whether another meeting would be scheduled to discuss the personnel issue.
A closed-door meeting also was called during the most recent regular board meeting.
Bunker scheduled the meeting on Friday after receiving a request from another member of the board earlier in the week, according to Town Manager Richard Davis.
Under state law, municipal meetings are required to be held in public, although several exceptions allow for closed-door meetings, called executive sessions.
This executive session was called by Bunker "to consult with the town attorney concerning the legal rights and duties of the board with respect to a personnel matter." Members approved the session unanimously.
Board member Andrew Hufnagel said he could not comment on what led to the meeting, other than that it was because of a personnel issue.
Before the meeting, Town Manager Richard Davis said it was possible that the board would take a vote after the executive session, but no vote was taken. Under state law, no votes are permitted during executive session.
Those who attended said that they were there to support the employee, even though there was no opportunity for them to speak on that employee's behalf.
If people attended in support of a person coming before the board, Davis said before the meeting, the board probably would understand that their physical presence indicated support.

Reality sets in at Kristin Cavallari's baby shower
May 22, 2012 2:23PM
Kristin Cavallari arrives at her baby shower in West Hollywood.
Article Extras
Updated: July 2, 2012 8:49AM
The reality of becoming a mother must be dawning on Kristin Cavallari.
The pregnant girlfriend of Jay Cutler hosted several of her notorious reality TV friends at a baby shower over the weekend in Los Angeles.
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, who bonded with Patti Blagojevich on the reality show, "I'm a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here!" showed up along with Pratt's sister, Stephanie. All three starred with Cavallari on MTV's "The Hills."
The starlet got the usual gifts, according to Us Weekly — strollers, car seats, bath toys, blankets and clothes.
"It was, like, a fun party," an Us Weekly source said.

It depends on your child's symptoms.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends an antibiotic if your child has severe symptoms that indicate (or strongly suggest) AOM. If symptoms aren't severe and your child is 2 years or older, AAP guidelines recommend keeping an eye on your child for 48 to 72 hours to see whether he gets better without antibiotics. (Eighty percent of children with AOM get better without antibiotics.)
The doctor will consider your child's age and symptoms and decide what's best. "The sicker the child looks, the more you go the precaution route and prescribe an antibiotic right away," says Robert Ruben, an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor) at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.
If your child does get a prescription, make sure you give him the entire course of antibiotics and follow up with an ear recheck a few weeks later so the doctor can gauge whether the medicine did its job.
Keep in mind that the antibiotic will not relieve your child's pain in the first 24 hours – in fact, it will only minimally affect it after that. What's more likely to help is the correct dose of acetaminophen or ibuprofen. (Never give your child aspirin as it makes him more susceptible to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disorder.)
Your child may also be comforted by a warm compress held to his ear or eardrops. (Ask the doctor about the best drops to use.) It may also be helpful to elevate your child's head when he's lying down.
Whether or not you're treating your child with antibiotics, if he isn't getting better after a few days – if he still has a fever or any of the other symptoms he started out with or he's getting worse – call your doctor. The doctor may want to switch the antibiotic, or start a course of antibiotics if you took the wait-and-see approach.
Ear infections aren't contagious, but the respiratory infections that often precede and accompany them are. To reduce the spread of germs, wash your hands (and your child's hands) often — always after using the toilet, changing diapers, and before eating or preparing food.
Two other good ways to prevent ear infections:
Keep your child up-to-date on his vaccines.
The pneumococcal vaccine has been shown to help reduce the number of ear infections. If your child has suffered repeated ear infections, especially after bouts with the flu, you may also want to consider an annual flu shot.
Keep your child away from all tobacco smoke.
Researchers have concluded that kids whose parents smoke are more likely to get ear infections and have hearing problems. Kids living with a smoker have a 37 percent higher risk of middle ear infections and hearing problems and a 62 percent higher risk if the mom is the household smoker. Kids are also 86 percent more likely to receive surgery for their middle ear problems when their mothers smoke, compared with children who have no smokers in their household.
Even a weekend spent in a house with a smoker can be harmful and increase your child's chances of getting an ear infection. Tobacco smoke seems to suppress the immune system, making it more difficult for your child to fight off infection. Don't let people smoke in your house, and keep your child out of smoky environments.

Surely you can. Go to the file "deploy\jbossweb-tomcat50.sar\conf\web.xml", change the init-param "development" of jsp servlet from "false" to "true". Unlike tomcat who doesn't assign a value in this file, JBoss sets this parameter to "false". -

Deedrah (also known as Dado) was raised in a family of musicians, began studying music at the age of five, and found inspiration in the electronic music of the day, including Jean Michel Jarre, Depeche Mode, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Simple Minds. His first musical foray was in the rock band Vision Quest, which disbanded in 1990. Soon thereafter, he teamed up with Christophe Drouillet at a French wave and formed the psychedelic trance act Transwave. It took the duo only three months to complete their first album, released on a small French label called Transpact. Over the next two years, Transwave released three albums (Helium, Phototrpoic, and the Land of Freedom EP) and toured throughout the world, experiencing a good deal of success in the psychedelic trance underground and scoring an international trance hit with the track "Land of Freedom." Dado started his own record label and production studio, Questionmark RDS. And in 1997, he released his first solo album, Self-Oscillation, under the name Deedrah which also signified Dado's first divergence from the psychedelic goa trance genre. Subsequent years would find Dado working under a variety of aliases, including Cypher, DanDan d Dado, and Synthetic. Future projects include collaborations with trance legends Tsuyoshi Suzuki (Tokio Drome), Astral Projection (Trust in Trance), Sid Shanti (Manumission), Avi Algranati (Space Cats), Total Eclipse, and Jaia. DJ gigs took Deedrah around the globe to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tokyo, Copenhagen, London, Tel Aviv, Montreal, Melbourne, Sydney, Athens, Sao Paulo, Moscow, and Bali. At the end of 2000, Deedrah set up a new recording studio in the Spanish countryside town of Ibiza, where he produced house and lounge music under the moniker Fédérico Baltimore and for labels like Cosmophilia, TIP WORLD, and 3D Vision. Deedrah's second album, the opus Reload, was released in 2001. The pleasurable, melodic set explores a range of hypnotic trance sounds with only hints of the psychedelica of previous Dado albums, falling somewhere in between John Digweed or Paul Van Dyk. ~ JT Griffith

Useless product. I would eat all 13 cupcakes before anyone could stack 'em.
"That means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."

Perfect for birthdays, but I can tell why this is discounted, 13! BOO! Beware your son/daughter turns 13 this 2013 on a 13th day of somemonth and invites, yes, 13 of his/her friends to enjoy 13 cupcakes and get 13 gifts and....ok you know where this is going.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars can use years to come...., November 2, 2012 By Amy L. Moore "chicky" (ripley, tn usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME) Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: 41-Count Light-weight 5-Tier Metal Dessert and Cupcake Stand (Kitchen) I was looking for a cupcake holder that held more than a couple of dozen cupcakes for my babyshower but to use it for years to come...birthday parties and such. I am very pleased with this product. It was easy to put together and very sturdy. I can take it apart and put it back in the box for future use. Good price too. It arrived in 3 days which is a good thing because my shower is next week. Thanks for the great product....cant wait to use it. |
I've given you reputation points, Tofu Vic |
It looks like this is identical to the Wilton 13 cupcake stand and there are more reviews.
http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-307-...roduct_top "I returned it. Perhaps the people who designed this thing never actually used it. The bottom tier is fine. The holders on the rest of the tiers are much smaller (in circumference), not adjustable and don't hold standard size cupcakes, even baked in Wilton's own paper cupcake liners. If you smoosh the cupcakes together they'll sort of hold each other in place. Or you could 'glue' each of the upper cupcakes in place with a little icing. Plus, the tiers are too close together, so the icing must be simple and low, or you must angle the cupcakes outward, which means the icing had better be stiff and the decorations very secure. Angle them out too far and the weight of the icing makes them topple out. Altogether too much fuss. " .
Rep those who help you or give good information. Never call!!! If the store employees find out about the deal, you will kill the deal. And then I will make you sleep with da fishes. Kapesh? |

CES: Turtle Beach brings wireless 7.1 surround to Xbox 360, PS3
Turtle Beach is at CES 2011 to show off the company's spotlight product, the PX5. A successor to the X41 headset, the PX5 improves on the original design in many ways, most notably being the first headset to bring wireless surround sound and chat to the PS3. Two on-board wireless radios (Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz) allow for the headset to play nicely with both Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles, and the Bluetooth capability can even be utilized as a cell phone headset or wireless speakers for AD2P music playback.
But perhaps the most impressive feature of the PX5 is … Read more

Radon Beware: A CBS 58 Special ReportMILWAUKEE- Radon is a dangerous cancer causing gas that can be found in homes across the country and also in Wisconsin. According to experts, Radon kills tens of thousands of people a year. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking. Radon is naturally occurring, odorless, invisable, and tasteless. Between five and ten percent of the homes in Wisconsin have radon levels above the US EPA guideline of 4 pCi/L for the year average on the main floor. Every region of Wisconsin has some homes with elevated radon levels. The only way to know the radon level in a house is to measure it. You can get Radon test kits in hardware stores or from local health agencies. Two video tapes are available in all public libraries in Wisconsin: Share your personal Radon story with John Cuoco at email@example.com RADON LINKS: Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide To Radon [EPA Pamphlet] |

Jack Robinson is a record breaking left-back of whom big things are expected over the next few years.
He is currently furthering his football education by spending the duration of the 2013-14 campaign with Championship side Blackpool.
The Warrington-born defender became our youngest ever player when he was introduced by Rafael Benitez against Hull City in the final game of 2009-10. He was aged just 16 years and 250 days.
The record stood until September 2012 when Jerome Sinclair came on in a League Cup tie with West Brom, aged 16 years and 6 days.
His first-team chances have been limited since then but he impressed against England winger Theo Walcott at the Emirates in 2010-11.

Hi teachers,
When I was in school, my teacher taught me tenses. I learnt them very well. To pronounce a word correctly, I got an Oxford Dictionary. In Present Indefinite "s" or "es" with the verb is frequently used when the subject is a singular noun. But I don't know how to pronounce a verb correctly when "es" is added.
"abuses", "teaches", "reaches", "catches" and so on. Please tell me the pronunciation of these words here using phonetic symbols. I'll be very thankful to you.
If you have a link that can help me learn it, please do share.
Many thanks.
See page 6 here.
