Nairobi, 22 Sept 05
UN-HABITAT's Executive Director Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka said the challenge of slums was an enormous one adding that the agency, in association with the development partners, would support the programme implementers in their endeavours to address the issue.
"Your strategies may be slightly different, but your goal is the same: providing them with decent and well serviced houses, but also, in the future, offering the poor alternatives to slums. Access to affordable, correctly serviced and well located land is central to this process," Mrs. Tibaijuka said in a speech read on her behalf.
Cities Without Slums is currently engaged in nine cities in nine countries in the East and Central Africa sub region. These are Kisumu (Kenya), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Lilongwe (Malawi), Maputo (Mozambique), and Durban (South Africa). Others are Arusha (Tanzania), Kampala (Uganda), Maseru (Lesotho) and Ndola (Zambia).
The Executive Director said that after many months of intense debates at country and, more importantly at city level, the process has been successful in mobilizing and involving all partners, including those directly confronting the hardship of living in poor neighbourhoods lacking basic services and security of tenure- the slum dwellers themselves.
Outlining the workshop objectives, the chief of UN-HABITAT's Shelter Branch, Mr. Farouk Tebbal advised the participants to learn from each other and to consolidate lessons on the most effective tools, approaches and processes in order to achieve the Cities Without Slums Goals.

10 Tips for Developing Your Own Blog Network
If you enjoy blogging and want to take it and your income to the next level, you should start a blog network. After establishing your first blog, you now have some experience, subscribers and visitors that keep your site humming from day to day. Branching out into a network is a lot of hard work, but at least you have some experience under your belt. Here are 10 tips for developing your own blog network that will help you progress smoothly and increase your prospects for success.
1. Pay attention to your readers – Your customers will give you clues as to what topics to cover in your next blog. After all, they like your blog, so maybe many of your users share similar interests and traits. By listening to the questions and comments that are on your existing site, you can get clues for what new topic will be a natural fit.
2. Use other bloggers – Your blog network doesn't have to be entirely owned, by you. Make every blog equal and have criteria to join. You can then brand the network and you have conditions for synergy without spending any money. Not only can you share tips and tricks, you can share users and links too.
3. Site promotion – One of the powerful things about having a blog network is that you will ultimately have numerous sites that can provide coveted back links to each other. This eases the promotion efforts for every blog in the network regardless of who owns it.
4. Communications – The increased reach you have with a blog network, but communicating with member bloggers can be challenging. Be sure to have a communications plan and policy in place so everyone knows up front that they are expected to respond to emails and phone calls. If you are going solo, you will probably have to have to pay writers, so make sure they understand your communication requirements as well.
5. Be ready for the expense – The time and money you spend blogging now is nothing when compared to what you will spend managing an entire network of blogs. Be sure to take account of the financial and time aspects of your plan to make sure that you're willing to make the investment and the sacrifice.
6. Revenue may come in slowly – One of the appeals of having a blog network is the increase in income. After all, potential income motivates most people. Still, the seven figures that some blog networks haul in are the exception, not the rule. There is plenty of money to be made, but it's going to take some time, money and a whole lot of work.
7. Don't rely on cheap – Bloggers that want to build a network are often surprised at how much it actually costs. Rather than scaling down their plans, however, bloggers will try to economize and go for cheap Web hosting, cheap writers, and cheap everything else. You might get your network going on the cheap, but most Internet users will not be impressed by your cheap stuff. You will do much better by expanding slower with quality services and content. After all, your reputation is at stake.
8. Research your themes – You have a successful blog already, so you don't want to duplicate it exactly, but you do want to base your network on keywords that are related but still have strong appeal online. For example, if you have a police blog, maybe a donut blog would be a good topic for your next endeavor.
9. Use your social media base – Since your social media profile is personal, your followers will appreciate knowing about your new initiative. This is a good venue for promoting new blogs in your network rather than going beyond simple links in your existing properties.
10. Stay focused – Bloggers get busy, so it's easy to start on your network only to get distracted by other projects. Don't start your blog network until you have the time to dedicate to it.
By taking these 10 tips for developing your own blog network, you can get your expansion off to a good start. Take this advice and get started building today.

text: Student nutrition focus of foundationMay 10, 2013MARTINSBURG — Berkeley County Schools Superintendent Manny Arvon knows what it's like to take care of children — to worry about their safety, wonder if they have enough to eat and plan for their...... MajoritarianNever when you talk to me. Hold that thought. Student nutrition is important...for THE parentS to deal with. 3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » annette2Well golly gee Major-twit. You that desperate to talk to someone? 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MajoritarianWell geee, Anett-brg, are we silly this morning or what. Are you adopting negativity to get attention? Have some compassion. Hey, lets ponder why people are compassionate. Is it evolution? Cheers 1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » annette2I said before this program is a feel good thing. Why? Because if these people were really concerned about children who go hungry, I guess that concern can't be too genuine when the kids will be going without meals again during breaks and summer. 1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MajoritarianGive me a break. Nutrition? What does gubment know about whats approved for our bodies now? I mean its not like we're all fetuses or something and thus its None of Their bidness. Cheers 1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » SandpiperBouleman. I fail to see your point. I said that there are no starving children in America unless they are intentionally starved. Low income does not equal or even suggest kids are going hungry. There are more federal and state assistance programs than you can shake a stick at. (Where the heck did that expression come from?) This is another 'let's feel good and get our mugs out there' stories. Besides, as I suggested below, PROVIDING free meals and ensuring that the meals are eaten are two different things. Go have a peek at a school dumpster some day. The first casualties are the vegetables. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BullheadBouleman: Though interesting and likely debatable statistics. This new legislation doesn't provide meals to children from impoverished families. That has been done for years. This legislation provides meals for ALL children, including middle class and affluent families. It is a great waste of "education" resources. 2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BoulemanThe data show that dependable access to adequate food has especially deteriorated among families with children. In 2008, nearly 17 million children, or 22.5 percent, lived in households in which food at times was scarce -- 4 million children more than the year before. And the number of youngsters who sometimes were outright hungry rose from nearly 700,000 to almost 1.1 million. Nov 17,2009 The Washington Post 2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BoulemanSandpiper; According to the Annie E. Casey foundation 26% of the children in West Virginia live in poverty. According to the National Poverty Center, 22% of the children in the US live below the poverty line.The povery threshold for two Adults and two children is $22,113. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » wildwonderfulI'd really like to see the schools a) allow their cooks to COOK food, and b) source ingredients from our local producers. 3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » wildwonderfulLet me guess - we're still telling students that red meat, butter, and whole milk are bad for them. And we're still telling them that low-fat is good, right? Oh, and we can't forget - pizza is a vegetable! 1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » sassygirlThat is so nice that Pennington is donating $ for this project. He doesn't need to look any further than his own children to provide assistance. He has a daughter that doesn't like to work, has children and cares more about herself than her own children. Maybe he could teach a few of these values to her. Just sayin... 1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » WVBigDogBasically $10M a year just to feed Berkeley County!!! WOW! Rough estimate, 18,200 children times $3 times 180 days = $9.8M. I smell a levy and a property tax hike in the works. 2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » SandpiperThere are no starving children in America unless they are being intentionally starved. It is true that many kids do not eat nutitious meals. So what? This whole orchestrated show was for the benefit of Unger, with a supporting cast of Tomblin, Manny "Kleenex" Arvon, and, of course, the fellow who owns multiple bars. What's next, holding the kids down and forcefeeding them lima beans? Kids don't always eat well, from a nutritional standpoint, but starving they are not. 5 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » m421953I guess the State should go ahead and provide three meals a day and relieve parents of all responsibility! What a joke!!1 4 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BullheadGreat idea! [sarcasm] My family should suffer even more through forced taxation in order to provide free meals to the children of the more affluent--like Romney's kids! Our society has lost pretty much all common sense to emotional mantras and ten-second soundbites! 6 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » lupieangelIf they were so worried & concerned for our children they wouldn't have charged the kids almost $2.00 everyday for lunch. My children who are in high school got about as much as a child in elementary school would get. I guess we were paying for some of those parents who don't work & have a career of living on the system. 4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » SportsManWhat help is it if students get free lunch if they throw all the good food away or they dont eat at all? 3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » GhostRiderO...Im talking to you major...like you didnt already know that. 3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » GhostRiderEvery topic u commented on..unreal..u r w/o doubt the most aggravating, mouthy, know it all person I have ever come across. Stick a sock in it! 4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Sandpiper"It all starts here at school…." I agree. School is where children are taught that the government is their savior, their provider, that God has no place in their lives, that mommy and daddy don't know what's best, that everyone gets a trophy, regardless of effort, talent, or outcome, that tolerance is the greatest of all virtues, that getting in line and following others blindly is good, that parents have their place but never first place, that most, if not all, problems trace to a lack of money and that any remedy that does not require more money is a false remedy. 5 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MajoritarianThe "If we dont have food" excuse--and implied threat--reminds me of all the others we have selectively forgotten. Allow me: If we dont have Computers...if we dont have pencils and back packs and paper oh my...if we dont have enough diversity...if we dont have safe schools...too many students per teacher...5ex ed...advanced 5ex ed...we need new books...new building... And with none of these privileged demands does India or China lag behind us. Our grandparents would have seamed privileged in comparison.

Just for Me
The Ultimate Summer Reading List: 33 Books You Won't Be Able To Put Down
When I was a little girl, I was an avid reader. When I was around 8 years old, I remember that my local library hosted a children's program encouraging kids read 100 books in a summer. I already loved to read, and I was an only child with a lot of alone time to boot - so I signed up. Not only did I read 100 books that summer, I read well over that. It was a tradition that I continued through my high school years - and I credit those summers spent devouring books as the number one reason that I've spent my life dreaming of becoming a writer.
Well over 20 years later, I still love to read, but as a mom it typically takes a backseat to other things like recitals, homework, swimming lessons, and even other mundane stuff like washing dishes or on the especially bad days -- taking a shower. Moms get that "me time" is virtually non-existent - especially with children under the age of 5 in the house. But, our kids are now 5 and 6, so I'm starting to discover some time for myself again - and I'm ready to read!
A few weeks ago a friend recommended The Hunger Games trilogy to me with rave reviews. Even though there had been a lot of chatter about the books (and even a Hollywood blockbuster film), I actually knew nothing about them, so at her urging I purchased a copy of the first book in an airport and read it (in-between cat naps) on my flight back home. I was hooked. I finished it that night and a few days later I ran out to by book number 2. By the end of the week I had finished book number 3 and I had remembered what it felt like to love reading again - to not want to put a book down.
This summer I'm vowing to read at least 10 books. I know, it's only a 10th of what I read in the past, but it's a start. Of course, every good book starts with a good recommendation, so I have compiled a list here (in no partictular order) of some compelling, can't-put-it-down books for us all - hopefully it will help you to rediscover a passion for reading - or maybe discover it for the first time! Some are old, some are new, some are intense, some are quick beach reads - all are excellent.

Bacardi Debuts Torched Cherry Rum for Summer
Filed under: Spirits
Bacardi flavored rums are unlike any other. In a lineup of unmarked bottles, Bacardi blends always stand out as being the most fragrant. Whether you're a Limon or a Dragon Berry type of rum drinker, your preferred flavor will fill the room with aroma. I attended a Bacardi-hosted event to determine just how they make their varietals so intensely flavorful. In correlation with the summer launch of their latest flavor, Torched Cherry, Barcardi invited journalists to come and mix their own cherry rums.
After learning about each of the various flavors that go into Torched Cherry, we were given a selection of infusions to experiment making our own. While we were given five flavors to come close to the Bacardi original, we weren't given the entire lot of flavors in the mix, thus protecting the prized recipe.


text: A career in racing made sense for the British-born Motion, whose father, Michael, was an international bloodstock agent, and whose mother, Jo, was an amateur rider, took care of 1951 Gand National winner Nickel Coin and later became an assistant trainer. The Motion family moved to the U.S. in 1980 when Graham was 16, and he completed his high school studies in 1983 at the Kent School in Connecticut. He worked for Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard from 1985 to 1990 and among the horses he handled was Flatterer, a four-time winner of the Eclipse Award as outstanding steeplechase horse. Motion spent a year working in Chantilly, France, where he met his wife, Anita. He returned to the U.S. in 1991 to be an assistant to Maryland trainer Bernie Bond. When Bond died in 1993, two of his owners left their horses with Motion, who took out his training license and opened his business, Herringswell Stables. He won 21 races that first year, including three stakes with the stable star, Gala Spinaway. Motion built a reputation as an accomplished trainer, who excelled with turf runners such as Film Maker and Better Talk Now. In 2011 he realized the dream of every trainer with a victory in the Kentucky Derby with Animal Kingdom.

Shimano Ultegra 6800 Rear Derailleur $99.95
Shift with less effort, and gain an additional gear.
Many of the greatest refinements to Shimano's new Ultegra 6800 groupset were reserved for the rear derailleur. The new 6800 mechanism is the result of a complete overhaul, as it's more compact and lightweight than 6700, and it now operates using a redesigned spring mechanism that works to ensure shifts are equalized across the cassette's entire 11-speed range.
For this the new iteration of Ultegra, the majority of the previous version's dependable alloy construction carries over, as this rigid design assists in the light, crisp shifting experience over the entire cassette. Shimano devotees, however, will immediately notice the focus paid to making a slight alteration to the feel of the shift through the derailleur's new spring design. This is the result of the new Ultegra 6800 having been engineered with the same shifting objective as Dura-Ace 9000 -- easier action with a shorter stroke at the lever. To achieve this required a revision of the mechanism's spring. The new design relies on a more linear spring rate, which results in seamless shifting across the entire block.
As we all know, Ultegra tends to snap the chain up the cassette, but it feels like it drops the chain from cog-to-cog on the way down. Now, the RD-6800 creates an equal, positive sensation regardless of the direction of your shift, or the size of the sprocket that you're shifting to. Shimano calls this its Vivid Index Technology. And for the first time you'll find a large, 11-speed cluster at your disposal. Not only can you expect to apply an equal lever-force at the top and bottom of the cassette, but the Ultegra 6800 Rear Derailleur can now handle up to a 32-tooth cog with its GS (long) cage model. Shimano is also releasing the Ultegra 6800 in a SS (short) cage option.
All in all, Shimano claims that the new rear derailleur system creates a reduction in shifting effort over 6700 at the lever. And to round things off in the efficiency department, the RD-6800 is pulled by Shimano's proprietary, polymer-coated shift cable. Shimano's new cable nearly eliminates mechanical drag, and it further enhances shift accuracy. Altogether, the minimization of stroke and required effort creates a shifting experience on-par with the accuracy found in both Dura-Ace and Di2 systems.
The Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-Speed Rear Derailleur is available in one size and one color. Please note that it has been designed for use with Shimano's PTFE derailleur cables and exclusively for the complete Ultegra 6800 component group.

Inspector: Pigs are out of the houseTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 25,2013ESSEX A Vermont couple appears to have found new homes for dozens of mini-pigs that were in an Essex home.
Zoning administrator Sharon Kelley said she went through the whole house on Tuesday, and the pigs are gone.
Pig breeder Florence Gruber and her partner Alan Tsefrekas had been keeping over 40 pigs inside Tsefrekas home for about a month before the town ordered them to relocate the animals.
They had until Tuesday to remove them. Kelley said local and state regulations define pigs, even miniature potbellied pigs, as agricultural animals. She said agricultural animals are prohibited from living within a residential neighborhood.MORE IN Vermont NewsCHARLOTTE Thousands of water birds that normally spread out across Lake Champlain are seeking...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says he would "think about changing" the Washington Redskins' name if he owned the football team as he waded into the controversy involving a word that many consider offensive to Native Americans.
Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names such as the Redskins offend "a sizable group of people." He said that while fans get attached to the names, nostalgia may not be a good enough reason to keep them in place.
"I don't know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real legitimate concerns that people have about these things," he said in the interview, which was conducted Friday.
An avid sports fan who roots for the Chicago Bears, Obama said he doesn't think Washington football fans are purposely trying to offend American Indians. "I don't want to detract from the wonderful Redskins fans that are here. They love their team and rightly so," he said.
But the president appeared to come down on the side of those who have sharply criticized the football team's name, noting that Indians "feel pretty strongly" about mascots and team names that depict negative stereotypes about their heritage.
The team's owner, Dan Snyder has vowed to never abandon the name.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said last month that the league should pay attention to those offended by the name — a subtle change in position for Goodell, who had more strongly supported the name in his previous statements this year.
Email messages to team spokesman Tony Wyllie and general manager Bruce Allen were not immediately returned Saturday.
Other professional sports teams have Indian names, including football's Kansas City Chiefs and baseball's Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Indians.
Numerous colleges and universities have changed names that reference Native Americans. St. John's changed its mascot from the Redmen to the Red Storm, Marquette is now the Golden Eagles instead of the Warriors and Stanford switched from the Indians to the Cardinal.
The Redskins' name has attracted a fresh round of controversy in recent months, with local leaders in Washington calling for a name change and some media outlets refraining from using the name. The name is the subject of a long-running legal challenge from a group of American Indians seeking to block the team from having federal trademark protection.
Congressional lawmakers have introduced a bill seeking the same goal, though it appears unlikely to pass.
"What a prudent and wise use of the bully pulpit," Suzan Shown Harjo, a plaintiff in that case, said in an interview Saturday. "I am so glad that he said that and I hope that people hear a reasoned response from the president and will pay attention to this issue."
Harjo said the issue "involves lots of hurt and pain and ongoing name-calling and bullying of our children that goes with this name. We just need to have an end to it."
"There's no such thing as a good stereotype, no matter how well-intentioned, no matter how good people feel about it," Harjo added. "It still has negative ramifications for our people."
"These are relics of the past. They should be consigned to museums and history books and people can feel good about them there," she said. "But they should not be allowed in polite society."
Opponents of the Redskins name plan to hold a protest Monday outside the NFL's fall meeting in Washington.
"We really appreciate the president underscoring what we've been saying," said Ray Halbritter, spokesman for the Oneida Indian Nation, a tribe from upstate New York that's been campaigning against the name.

How To Get Your Business Online In A Day
Want to build a site for your small business, with the potential to get ranked and all the social media trimmings, in just one day? It's possible! I did it myself not long ago – aside from a few tweaks along the way, it's all worked out nicely – and it's all SEO friendly. I'm going to share how I did it with you.
The Ultimate List of Local SEO Resources
In 2011 I put together a list of 21 Local SEO resources to help those out who were looking to gain a better presence locally in Google. Since then Local SEO has become a highly important element of digital marketing.
Using Google Analytics To Improve Your Local SEO Campaign
SEO is changing, it's more important than ever to make sure that you are taking the best action for the future, and where better to start than in your target locations? Local SEO is pivotal to many businesses, from small independent shops and services to those with offices or outlets throughout the country and the world.
Mastering Local SEO - A Complete Guide (#EdgeBristol)
This morning I am speaking at the On the Edge conference in Bristol on the subject of Mastering Local SEO. This post contains my slides and a summary of the presentation.
Local SEO has evolved over the last year. Now more than ever online businesses need a local search strategy, regardless of whether they are targeting a nationwide, international or local audience.
A Month After the World Ended – The Emerging Digital Trends of 2013
Join me as I take a look at the trends in content marketing so far this year and look forward at what 2013 holds for the rapidly changing digital landscape.
2012 saw an avalanche of updates to Google's algorithms, and I don't expect 2013 to be any different. Many websites were caught out and penalised for SEO tactics that at one time would have been commonplace and successful. Following this huge crack down on any 'unnatural' optimisation activity many site owners and SEOs have been left thinking about how to avoid being penalised in the future. In essence, 'future proofing' your SEO.

This IG-88 action figure was released by Kenner in 1996 as part of a Shadows Of The Empire comic 2-pack along with a Boba Fett figure.
The Bounty Hunter has only six movable joints (head, 2 arms, waist, 2 legs), which was typical for the mid 90's. Despite the lack of knee and ankle joints, the figure stands surprisingly secure on its own and doesn't require a stand. The droid can also hold both of his weapons securely.
Even though the figure is quite old and outdated for modern standards, for back then it was very detailed and had a cool, rusty and dirty looking paint application. Hasbro re-did the IG-88 character in their vintage 30th Anniversary Collection in 2007, so if you are looking to pick the best version of IG-88 up, you want to go with the VTAC version, and pass on this Shadows Of The Empire IG-88 figure.

The Chicago Bears hired Montreal Alouettes offensive coordinator Pat Meyer on Thursday as an offensive line coach.
The Bears hired Marc Trestman, Montreal's coach the last five seasons, as head coach last week.
Last season, the Alouettes led the Canadian Football League in scoring, averaging about 27 points, and were among the leaders in touchdowns, passing and fewest sacks allowed.
Before joining Montreal in 2011, Meyer spent four seasons at Colorado State. He also had stints at North Carolina State, Florida State and Memphis. Meyer signed with the Arizona Cardinals in 1995 as an undrafted free agent, and played in the Arena Football League with the St. Louis Stampede.

Working under the current US Attorney, Carmen Ortiz, assistant US Attorneys Fred Wyshak, Brian Kelly and Zachary Hafer are starting what will undoubtedly be the trial of their careers.
Wyshak and Kelly are both veteran organized crime prosecutors that have voraciously pursued the Bulger case.
Wyshak assisted Florida prosecutors when they put corrupt FBI agent John Connolly on trial for murder.
Together with Kelly, the two represent the face of the new team of feds trying to clean up the mess left by their counterparts.

The Stop ALD Foundation | Donate Now! | News |

» Make a Donation Tweets by @StopALD |
Diagnosing ALDIt is essential to diagnose ALD as early as possible. All
the evidence indicates that the two currently available treatments for the
disease -- Lorenzo's oil and stem cell transplantation -- only work during a very
narrow window either before symptoms develop, or very early after their onset.
Once the disease has progressed and symptoms have become severe, there are
currently no treatments that can replace the lost myelin and the only treatments
available are palliative. Learn more about... What Should Parents and Families Look For? It is very difficult to differentiate ALD from other conditions, such as ADHD, epilepsy, autism, and other learning disabilities, particularly if you are not aware that a genetic predisposition to the disease runs in your family. However, if you notice some of the following things, be sure that your child's physician is considering the possibility of ALD -- especially if you have a family history of neurological problems:
What Should Physicians Look For? Some key clues that should alert physicians to consider the possibility of ALD include:
Physicians may consider referring to the following table when ALD is included as a differential diagnosis:
Adapted from Ievers CE, Brwon RT, McCandles SE et al. J Dev Behavior Pediatrics. 1999;20(1):31-35. MediView Report! Read the MediView Report, Avoiding the Misdiagnosis of Adrenoleukodystrophy: Distinguishing ALD from ADD/ADHD. Once ALD is suspected, there are two tests that must be done: a blood test and a brain scan. The blood test analyzes the amount of very long chain fatty acids, which are elevated in ALD. This test has the highest degree of accuracy in males; however, it can sometimes miss the presence of the mutated gene in women who are carriers of the disease. If the blood test suggests ALD, a magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI) will be performed to determine if the disease has begun to do damage to the brain. Lesions on the brain caused by the destruction of the myelin will appear on MRI before any neurological or psychological symptoms appear. The MRI scan will produce something called a Loes score, which rates the severity of the damage to the brain on a scale from 0 to 34. A score of 0.5 or less is normal; a score of 14 or more indicates severe ALD. When a child is diagnosed with ALD, among the first questions many families ask are "Are our other children at risk?" or "Can we safely have more children?" Genetic testing is the only way to answer that question. DNA-based blood tests can accurately identify both women who are carriers of the gene, and boys and young men who have ALD and may not yet be showing symptoms. Research shows that screening not just the parents and siblings of boys with ALD, but extended family members as well, is the best way to detect the disease at a time when treatment can be beneficial. Although it is not currently feasible to screen all pregnant women for the ALD mutation, prenatal tests and genetic counseling are available to help families plan their pregnancies and avoid passing the ALD gene on to their children. Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) can both detect the ALD abnormality, but only if testing laboratory or physician is specifically looking for it. Doctors can contact the Kennedy Krieger Institute to request genetic testing. | |||||||||||||||

Comments about Glow in Dark Hockey Mask:
i like it i got for my son he he can't wait to wear it
Comments about Glow in Dark Hockey Mask:
I got this for Halloween and liked that it glows in the dark. The only problems I had with it was that the inside of the mask gets moist real easily from either breathing or sweating, another problem that i had with it (that was quite fixable) was that the mask was kind of flat and didn't fit well on my face but was easily fixed by keeping it bent overnight! Those are the only two problems that I had with it, other than that I overall love the product!
Comments about Glow in Dark Hockey Mask:
this was the best mask i have worked with hands down
Comments about Glow in Dark Hockey Mask:
i use it for trick or treating
Comments about Glow in Dark Hockey Mask:
I bought one of these three years ago and turned it into a Jason Voorhees mask by drilling holes and using acrylic paints. I got many complements on the mask, so I decided to give another shot the next year, but I could not find it anywhere. I went to my local Spirit store today and found a bunch of these so I snatched up three. My weekend in now planned.
Comments about Glow in Dark Hockey Mask:
I was quite happy with this mask when I received it. I had planned in advance that I was going to put it through a multi-step process to turn it into the iconic Jason Voorhees hockey mask from the Friday the 13th film series. Within minutes of unboxing, I marked all the spots for the extra holes and the red triangle designs. I drilled the holes, replaced the strap with an old belt in the authentic three-point style, and put the designs on with a red Sharpie, all on the very day it arrived. Since then, I've been like a kid with a new toy. I love it and I can't stop playing with it. It's the perfect addition to my Jason costume. It's made of very strong plastic and is good on its own, but even better if you customize it like I did.

Talk about The Economist getting so many facts wrong. No wonder the likes of of SamB88 have a moral and intellectual bankruptcy in trying to understand what fasting really is about, and how it is really practised by the majority of Muslims.
Dear The Economist- do not leave your day job of commenting on a disastrous capitalist economy; religion is too difficult a topic for you.
As with any religious devotion, there are some who might not carry it out in the right spirit, but that does not invalidate the reason for that devotion. I live in the Middle East and know many Muslims who are observing their fast but not making a fuss of it.
Person for person, Ramadan seems to be taken more seriously by Muslims than Lent is by Christians. Those I admire the most are the people working outside in the summer heat and still fasting - it's a lot easier in an air conditioned office!
As the focus is on the economic effects of Ramadan, while it is true that Muslims may work for fewer hours in the day, summer is quiet in the Middle East anyway, due to the holidays. Indeed, if people are staying at home and not going away, the argument must be that this improves the regional economy during this time.
Incredible devotion and piety ! One billion plus human beings fasting between dawn and dusk for a month, not even a sip of water. Some things are beyond a calculation of their effect on GDP figures.
I used to work as an Engineer in Egypt before migrating to Canada. I can tell you from my experience that productivity during Ramadan goes down 50%. I used to chase workers who hide to sleep during the short hours of work. this in a country which its productivity is one of the lowest in the developed world.I myself a Moslem had hard time to fast and work at the same time. Those who think that high consumption during Ramadan help the economy does not understand ABC economy. Most of the products consumed during in Ramadan are imported.
Bad article. Totally ignored the boost countries like Saudi enjoy because of the Omra season that comes with Ramadan. Many places in the gulf and Egypt enjoy a huge amount of small-festival like activities around religious lessons that give street vendors a great season. The economic activity actually increases due to the amount donated to the very poor class that usually translates into direct consumption of food and essential commodities. This reporting is very narrow and just concentrates on the usual food and tourism blah blah ..
While the climes may be gentler up north, it brings its own difficulties - particularly the fact that the hours of fasting are longer. The Muslims of Scandinavia, I would argue, have a particularly difficult time fasting in the summertime!
Thats because your a Christan SamB88. You have no clue of it. Stop wearing your western tinted glasses. What were you doing in Islamic lands anyway? Isn't the western world good enough for you?
I'd just like to weigh in with support for Ramadan-sceptics who've seen at first hand, as I have, what actually happens and what folly it is for us to be taken in: by any of it.
For an increasingly wealthy Muslim world, Ramadan merely means lethargic daytime interludes - often with ostentatious and affected self-denial (the theatrical swoons; the quavering boasts; the exaggerated piety) - between nocturnal gross gluttony. Far from suggesting all Mohammedans follow this deceitful pattern of false abstinence; clearly there are those who are slightly more rigorous. But in general, the customary over-eating is simply rescheduled and, if anything, increased. The rush to restaurants for iftar is practically a stampede. The population as I've frequently observed looked no slimmer at the end of Ramadan than it did at the beginning.

In preparation for tonight's practice at INVESCO Field at Mile High, the Broncos held a light workout Thursday morning. Most players wore just their jerseys and shorts while the rookies and some selected veteran wore padded pants and their jerseys.
ROLL CALL: The only players not on field this morning were Rulon Davis, Brian Dawkins and Brandon Marshall. Nic Clemons returned to the field sporting an orange jersey.
POSITIONING: With Dawkins out, David Bruton took the majority of first team reps. The rest of the offense and defense stayed pretty much the same as previous days.
DRILLS: Much of the session was dedicated to situation drills including — 4th-and-goal with no timeouts at the 10-yard line, 2-point conversations, Hail Mary defense and offense, a kick return period and a fake field goal protection session.
PLAYMAKERS: Spencer Larsen took full advantage of the final period as he was involved in nearly every tackle when the offense ran the football. His play drew praise from coaches and teammates.
QUICK HITS: Chuck Priefer, the father of special teams coordinator Mike Priefer joined his son at practice today. The elder Priefer worked in the NFL for 17 seasons and coached at the collegiate level for 12 years. Chuck retired in 2007 after spending 10 seasons as the Detroit Lions special teams coach.
DAILY JUKEBOX: Only one song played during warmups today, but the title could define training camp for most players.
"We'll get a comfort level, obviously — that's where we play when it really matters. So we'll get out there one time before it really counts and have some fun in front of the fans."
-Kyle Orton, on the benefits of tonight's open practice at INVESCO Field at Mile High.
Pictures below
The team will head to INVESCO later this evening for practice. Gates will open around 5:30 p.m. MDT with practice starting around 6 p.m. MDT. The practice and parking are free and open to the public. Tomorrow the team will hold one practice starting at 1:15 p.m. MDT and will then enjoy a Saturday off. Click here for an updated training camp schedule.

Comments about Dimplex 32-Inch Multi-Fire/Purifire Plug-in Electric Firebox - DF3215:
Bought what I felt was top of the line and spent more than I should. Built a very nice fireplace and installed with no problem. Fire realism great. Heat quit after three months. Ten year warranty included no parts availability and absolutely no service. Parts ordered with the comment " Are you handy? "And followed up with install instructions for the parts for the repair.j Still waiting for parts so that I can have the privilege of doing the repair myself. Very disappointed. We needed this as supplemental heat in an addition and have had none. Wish I had purchased locally where I at least had a contact to deal with when problems come up. I would have least expected a local service representative to come and see what might be wrong and handle the repair. Ten year warranty?? WOW ! !

Algeria, with its population of 37m, its energy wealth and growing demand for modern infrastructure and consumer products, could have been a spectacular venue for foreign investment and a great economic player in the southern Mediterranean, writes Borzou Daragahi.
But because of its past and its location, Algeria is one of the toughest places to do business. Its tangled postcolonial history has enthroned a secretive leadership atop a Byzantine bureaucracy resistant to change. Continue reading »

Depending on your location Wednesday in Butler County, the area's first major snow storm in nearly two years either wreaked havoc or was a minor irritation during morning and afternoon commutes.
Butler County received 2 inches to 6 inches of snow Wednesday, with western areas getting hardest hit, according to Mike Kurz, a National Weather Service forecaster.
"The snow is much heavier in the Oxford areas and it is a different situation down toward West Chester and Liberty Twp.," Butler County engineer Greg Wilkens said.
"We were fortunate here," Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones said, noting that much of Butler County did not get the snow levels forecasters originally predicted — up to 8 inches in some areas. About 50 or 60 minor, and slide-off crashes were reported throughout the day, according to the sheriff.
Jones issued a Level One snow advisory Wednesday for the county, which meant motorists were urged to drive cautiously.
"The first snow is always the most difficult for people. They have to get their snow legs," Jones said.
Hamilton police Detective Richard Burkhardt said the department mostly received calls for disabled vehicles.
"There's no school and people are off (work), so we haven't gotten too many wrecks," Burkhardt said.
By the end of the day, Hamilton had responded to two accidents and one car fire, said Troy Pugh, an assistant chief with the fire department.
Middletown Police responded to less than five accidents and about 10 disabled vehicles Wednesday, according to Dispatcher Lynn Crank with the Middletown police department.
Road conditions in Middletown were "slushy, but we haven't gotten any complaints," she said.
At about 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, county snow plows hit the streets and began a full day of plowing heavy, wet snow. Crews continued to plow until the heaviest snow bands moved through late Wednesday afternoon, then focused on salting roads.
"As long as the temperatures stay in the 30s, we should be OK," Wilkens said.
More than 2,300 Duke Energy power outages had been reported in Butler County earlier in the day; by 2 p.m., outages had dwindled to only two in Butler County.
According to Tony Pochard, Hamilton director of electric, there were no outages in the city.
The weather had a chilling effect on post-Christmas shopping and holiday returns.
Target in the Bridgewater Falls shopping center opened an hour earlier than usual at 7 a.m. Wednesday, but the amount of shoppers and customers making holiday gift returns was noticeably down, according to store officials.
"Comparatively to last year it (the weather) has definitely affected the store in that there's not as much foot traffic," said Lauren Hockett, the store's human resources manager. "Last year we probably had 15 to 20 guests lined up at the doors to come in. This year there were only about five guests at the doors."
Retail foot traffic was also down at Meijer, 8145 Town Blvd., Middletown, according to store officials there.
The store, which only closes on Christmas Day, reopened at 6 a.m. Wednesday, and the amount of customers shopping or making holiday returns was minimal, said Frank Greenfield, store director.
"I would definitely say the weather has an effect," Greenfield said. "Weather like this always does."
Butler County could see as much snowfall this week as it did all of last winter season. The area received 5.6 inches of snow from November 2011 through March 2012, according to Kurz.
This snowstorm could be the last of 2012, said meteorologist Myron Padgett of the National Weather Service. There are no snow or storm fronts expected in the region next week.
For the rest of the week, the forecast is for weather to be partly cloudy and cold, with high temperatures in the low to mid 30s, and the daily low temperatures to be in the low 20s.

I'm a straight man at that age where the general public still considers me young. Although I've attended many weddings, I have no interest in marrying or even being in a relationship. I never have.
I'm not asexual. I've had and enjoyed sex. I just don't feel the need to be with anyone. As long as I've got music and friends, I'm satisfied. Unfortunately, I seem to be the only one. My parents want grandkids. My friends want to set me up. My television set only ever shows people in or pursuing relationships. My government wants me to father and raise future dead soldiers. I try not to internalize these views, but sometimes I wonder what's going to happen if I change my mind somewhere down the road. What the hell's wrong with me? Or not wrong with me? What do I tell people who insist that something's wrong or that I'll change my mind? And what should I do if I actually do change my mind?
-I Don't Give A Fuck
Honestly, IDGAF, yours is one of those letters that I have a hard time giving much of a fuck about. Don't get me wrong: You sound like a nice guy, articulate and pithy, and I typically like people who know what they do and don't want.
But cowards annoy me.
Forgive me for working my own sexuality into this, but I have to say: When I was at that age the general public unanimously considers young — still a teenager — I walked into my mother's bedroom and informed her that I was a faggot. (Begging my parents for tickets to the national tour of A Chorus Line for my 13th birthday somehow didn't do the job; five years later, I had to come out to them all over again.) If I could work up the nerve to come out to my very Catholic parents about putting dicks in my mouth — at the beginning of the AIDS crisis, at that — you can find the courage to come out to your parents and friends as not asexual, not unhappy, and not planning to date, cohabit, wed, or reproduce.
But while I'm not sympathetic to your plight, IDGAF, I found someone who is.
"Few young adults say they're not interested in sex or relationships, but IDGAF's preference for going solo is hardly unique," says Eric Klinenberg, professor of sociology at New York University and author of Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone. "Today, an unprecedented number of people are opting to live alone. One-person households represent 28 percent of all households in the US, and in cities the numbers are higher."
Your coupled-up friends and grandchild-starved parents might have an easier time accepting your lifestyle choices if they knew just how common they are.
"In recent decades," says Klinenberg, "young adults have been the fastest growing group of American singletons. They're delaying marriage and spending more years single. Moreover, they increasingly recognize the fact that over their long lives, they're likely to cycle in and out of different situations: alone, together; together, alone."
And despite the negative stereotypes that slosh around about single people — they're antisocial, unhappy, isolated — Klinenberg's research shows that those who live alone do just fine in the friends and social-life departments.
"People who live alone tend to be more social than people who are married," says Klinenberg. "They're more likely to spend time with friends and neighbors; more likely to spend time and money in bars, cafes, and restaurants; and even more likely to volunteer in civic organizations. So much for the myth of selfish singles!"
So what should you tell your nagging friends and family?
"How about letting them know that going solo is what works best for him right now," says Klinenberg, "but that he's hardly made a vow to stay single forever. Or, if he's feeling feisty, he can remind them that, no matter how they've arranged their lives at the moment, someday they might find themselves opting out of sex and relationships, too."
What should you do if you change your mind someday? You should date, IDGAF, you should marry. Don't describe your current choices as superior — even if it does mean a better social life — and you won't have to eat crow if you change your mind.
"We've come a long way in our attitudes about sex and relationships," says Klinenberg. "Now that living alone is more common than living with a spouse and two children, isn't it time we learned to respect the choice to go solo, too?"
Indeed it is. And the sooner you demand a little respect from your parents and friends for your choices, IDGAF, the sooner you'll get it.
Single and partnered people alike should follow Eric Klinenberg on Twitter: @EricKlinenberg. To find out more about Klinenberg's books and his research, go to ericklinenberg.com.
What's the etiquette around (nonpenetrative) sex toys after a breakup? I bought restraints, a blindfold, etc. for my ex, and she left them behind. It seems a waste to throw them away. Is it a bit squicky for a guy to bust out an arsenal of old toys when a new gal comes along?

That's silly. If you see a big pile of poo across the room you can reliably guess that the poo will be smelly without going and sticking your face in it. Likewise if there are molecules of poo in the center of the universe identical to our own we can ****** that they will also posses pooey qualities.

It's something to do with the light spectrum. Every type of atom absorbs a certain amount of light. If they look at the centre of the galaxy and note which wavelengths of light are missing and in what amounts they can figure out the content and amount of the atoms of the thing they're looking at; and work out the molecules present.
