Derek Mooney with his unique mix of conversation, information, advice and entertainment.
On today's programme…
Nesting time for birds is fast approaching, a our experts are on hand to give you advice about putting up your bird boxes for the coming season.
We hear about the curious sea slug, who sheds and re-grows his penis each time he mates!
And, Katriona McFadden finds out what it sounds like to be inside a human mouth!
An 11-ton meteor blew up over Russia's Ural Mountains setting off blasts that injured nearly 1,000 people and shocked countless others
Professor Andrea Pilastro, Dept of Biology, University of Padova, Italy,
Yesterday was Valentine's Day. And if you have a husband, a wife, a partner - any kind of "significant other" - we hope you had a great time together...!
But if you DIDN'T have a partner last night, and you were feeling a little left out ........ well, maybe you are going about the whole "mating game" in the wrong way!
If new research from Italy is to be believed, you might be better off being surrounded with uglier versions of yourself!. You know.... Just to make yourself look better looking to the OPPOSITE sex. After all, ugliness.... Beauty... These are all relative concepts.
So if you're a man, and you're single, and you want to do something about it...... go and befriend the least attractive members of your own sex!
Seemingly, this is a tried and trusted method used by a particular type of fish: the Guppy. And evidence of this behaviour was detected by The Sexual Selection Group from the Department of Biology at the University of Padova, in northern Italy.
The research was headed by Professor Andrea Pilastro, Dept of Biology, University of Padova, Italy, and he joins the gang to discuss.
Bernard Picton, Curator of Marine Invertebrates, Dept of Zoology, National Museums, N.I. talks to Derek about the sea slug which discards its penis after sex and grows back a new one within 24 hours.
Terry Flanagan visits Declan Hamilton and Patrick Harte from the Irish Wheelchair Association to give them advice as to how and where to put next boxes.
The Science Gallery at Trinity College has done it again! Another great exhibition, open to everybody, bringing science to the public in a really interesting and accessible way.
At the moment, they are running an exhibition called OSCILLATOR. The term oscillator can be applied to anything that moves back and forth with a steady, uninterrupted rhythm. And the OSCILLATOR exhibition at science Gallery explores the movements, vibrations and cycles all around us, in everyday life.
The world's most life-giving oscillator is the heart. And at the launch, Australian artists Helen Pynor and Peta Clancy, paid tribute to this wonderful organ. Part of their performance involved the reanimation of two freshly disembodied pig hearts!
Our reporter, Katrina McFadden, went along to the exhibition yesterday.
Exhibition opening hours: Tue-Fri 12-8pm, Sat & Sun 12-6pm. Closed Mondays.The exhibition is on now, and runs until April 14, 2013.
Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

The Verdicts' Message and Self-Censorship
The message of these two verdicts is that, in an important sense, we have returned to the late Soviet period, the Brezhnev era. At that point, Soviet terror was not total: Many people read and distributed samizdat publications, for example, and many more listened to "Voice of America" and other foreign broadcasters that used shortwave frequencies to get information to the Soviet people. But every once in a while, someone was imprisoned for one of these transgressions. The late Soviet regime was far more economical than the Stalin regime: Its leaders seemed to understand that, to keep the country in line, they didn't need to imprison tens of millions of people. They just needed frequently to punish a few people at random.
The Putin regime has adopted a similar strategy. Since Putin came to power, the state has taken over all television channels. For a time, print and online media, which reach comparatively few people, were still allowed to function. Recently, though, the editor of Izvestia, the Russian daily of record, was fired on orders from the Kremlin. Crackdowns on newspaper distribution systems have driven circulation down significantly. Individual journalists have been threatened, attacked and, in at least a few cases, apparently killed. The prison sentence for Andrei Skovorodnikov sent the message that no media outlet, no matter how small, is immune to the Kremlin's unfriendly attention any longer.
So we had a problem. How would we write about the two verdicts handed down on Secret Police Day? We did, after all, want to attract attention to our first redesigned issue. Just not the wrong kind of attention.
The verdicts were covered by other media, including at least one television channel (the most liberal of the three state-owned national networks), and one daily newspaper even quoted the "fag" line. But as a magazine, we would want to do a more in-depth story, one that would analyze the dire implications and consequences of the verdicts. At the same time, there was also a temptation to play the story down a little, so that only the alert readers would see the significance of it.
This is how self-censorship works. One bargains with oneself. How much can I sacrifice before I lose respect for myself as a journalist? Can I respect myself if I don't give a story the play it deserves because I'm afraid? Can I respect myself if I kill a story because I'm afraid? Can I respect myself if I force the reader to look for the truth between the lines because I'm afraid?
And does it matter whom I'm afraid of? One can be afraid of the FSB, organized crime, the police. And one can also be afraid of the fears of others—companies who will pull their ads, for example, or investors who will pull their money because they fear the association with a risk-taking publication will cost them dearly.
Earlier this year, I reported a story that I found both ridiculous and very, very sad. The Russian edition of GQ, the men's magazine, had run its traditional "Man of the Year" contest. Some 26,000 readers had voted, and the winner was Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the oil tycoon, philanthropist and political activist whose Yukos oil empire has been expropriated and who has been in jail for over a year on charges of tax evasion that are widely seen as politically driven. His well-publicized trial has sent a message to all Russian entrepreneurs, warning them that they will suffer gravely if they ever happen to displease the Kremlin. The publisher of Russian GQ banned the publication of Khodorkovsky's name in connection with the contest, forcing his editorial staff to falsify the results. According to staff members, someone actually had to fly to Italy, where the magazine is prepared for printing, to replace the offending page.
One remarkable aspect of this story is that the magazine's publisher, Bernd Runge, is a German national who has little to fear personally from the authorities: He doesn't even spend much time in Russia, since his turf includes other Conde Nast publications in Germany and Africa as well. But Runge has an intimate understanding of how the new Russia works. He hails from East Germany, and he went to college in the Soviet Union. Earlier this year, two major German magazines published multipart exposés showing that Runge served as a Stasi (the East German secret police) agent during the Soviet period. Jonathan Newhouse, chairman of Conde Nast International, issued a statement affirming his confidence in Runge and calling the revelations "irrelevant" to today's realities.
Deciding What to Publish
As it turns out, though, the instincts of a former Stasi agent are very EDITOR'S NOTE
See "Editorial Dilemmas at an Independent Magazine in Moscow" to learn about the decision her magazine made. relevant indeed in today's Russia. I am not yet sure how we will solve the problem of covering the two verdicts. I do, however, know that just a few months ago I would have considered the very question of a story's potential risks, whether to myself or the publication I work for, a deeply offensive one. But I have a personal stake in the decision: If I lose my job because I write or assign a story that gets the magazine shut down, I may never work in this country again.
In the late Soviet period, some people rejected such choices altogether and went to work as street-sweepers and boiler-room operators. Most, however, tried constantly to strike a balance. I have spent years trying to figure out how they made the balance work and have recently written a book about my own grandmothers' quests for what they often called "a decent compromise."
One of my grandmothers, Ruzya, was educated to work as a history teacher. But when she graduated from college, she decided she could never use her skills, knowledge and charm to lie to children. So instead, she became a censor, telling herself that censorship was mechanical work that someone else would be doing if she were not. When my other grandmother, Ester, was 20, she stood up to the secret police when they tried to draft her. Five years later, when she was out of a job and her young son was suffering from malnutrition, she accepted a job as a translator for the NKVD (another acronym for the secret police). She then failed her medical exam, which saved her from becoming a uniformed officer of the secret police.
Ester got to have a heroic narrative, while Ruzya, who is now 85, is still deeply ashamed of the work she did half a century ago. But while my grandmothers' decisions were intensely difficult and informed, above all, by a desire to stay a moral course, the choice was hardly theirs at all.
In the book, I concluded that there is no such thing as a decent compromise. When I started researching it, about eight years ago, I never thought my grandmothers' lessons would have a direct application for my own life. But in the days after Secret Police Day 2004, I face a choice: Commence the search for a decent compromise or go work in a boiler room. This was the nature of choice in the Soviet Union, and it is becoming the nature of choice in today's Russia. If one does anything at all—edits a story, for example, or kills one—one is in some way becoming an accomplice of the regime.
For merely being mindful of the limitations of freedom inevitably makes one also an enforcer of these limitations. But the penalties for not being mindful, for refusing to play by the rules, are too grave. Just ask the young man in Krasnoyarsk, who dared insult the president.

Off roughly week old memories
A: A hazy orange color. Sediment is easily visible and the beer almost took on a grey appearance once I poured the sediment into the second halfpint I was drinking. Great head and retention.
S: Ester and phenol compounds usually associated with weissbiers. Banana, a touch of clove. Bready malty smell as well. A slight hint of booziness. Noble hops come through as well.
T: The esters and phenols seem to be less present, perhaps this was the brewers trying to keep the hop flavors from clashing? Spicy hops. Not overdone but enough to let you know they're there and definitely more than a traditional weizenbock. Bready malts, possibly and most likely a bit of munich. A bit of that alcohol as well. Interesting as multiple diverse elements come into play without clashing too much.
M: Nice body not overly thick or syrupy. Carbonation is higher but that's good for the style and makes the beer seem less cloying.
O: An interesting beer. Not something I would drink all the time or would really look out for but it was interesting. I don't really think it ranks as high as everyone say's it does but one can tell it is definitely a product that was well invested in and brewed integrity.

(bottle date 14 093 - poured into a jet-rinsed Schneider glass)
A: liquid is a nectarine skin hue, hazy... fantastic, sparkly, cotton candy textured white foam - at first, it leaves a bizarre lacing pattern similar to the net-like pattern found on a cantaloupe - it later flattens out into connecting broad bands of lace... keeps a cap all the way down
S: this may be the first time I can honestly say I immediately recognized the aroma of Saphir hops - strawberry (and another berry - dried raspberry?)... strong rose-like floral phenolics... smells like a garden in spring
T: strawberry shortbread cookie... alcohol with a fruit brandy flavor in the finish... up front, a startlingly bold hop flavor and bitterness for a beer made in Germany - flowery, "noble" flavors... doughy undercurrent and a bit of a cookie maltiness and nutty note (perhaps from the yeast) in the aftertaste
M: soft, satiny flow... bit of lingering boozy warmth... mild drying sensation on the tongue... wondering if the extra hopping enhances the plushy texture of what's already probably a plumply round body
O: second time having this - the first time, years ago when it came out, I hate to admit, I may have drunk straight from the bottle while liquored up one night... mildly astonished just how flavorful and enjoyable this beer is... this bottle was only a couple months old - kinda curious how some of the older bottles I have compare... this is a wonderful hoppy alternative to your ubiquitous IPAs

Cooperstown Crier
---- — Thanks in part to a Green Innovation Grant Program, the village of Cooperstown has announced the start of the Main Street sidewalks project.
The village of Cooperstown held an open forum Oct. 15 to explain the scope of the project. Mayor Jeff Katz estimated the size of the crowd at about 25 people.
Over two years of projects, and two budget years, the village will match 1 to 2, the $636,854 GIGP grant from the state. The village will pay $330,000 as its share.
"I thought it was a good group of people with good questions," Katz said. "Some of the questions were very specific about the type of historic brick we will be using."
Using a powerpoint from trustee Cindy Falk, who did the grant writing on the project, the presentation showed the bricks, the drainage and the need to replacing existing trees with mature trees in specific sidewalk friendly tree boxes.
The project will cover Main Street; on the south side, from Chestnut Street to Fair Street; on the north side from the Cooperstown Diner to Hoffman Lane. It will take place over 2014 and 2015, with start up as soon as possible in March or April through early June and resuming September through November.
"We'll shut down in the summer," Katz said. "Similar to the Walnut to Chestnut situation, we know that there will be disruptions, but it won't be in season and we won't be doing it all at once. It will be spread out over four seasons and that way we can pay for it in two budgets."
The project will feature green drainage systems and include lighting and accessible curbing. Existing trees will be taken out and new trees will be planted in ways that roots won't break the new sidewalks.

The funds will cover overtime pay for police officers and sheriff's deputies to increase the number of patrols on Alabama roads.
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is administering the grants from the State Traffic Safety Trust Fund, an account that receives fines paid by individuals found guilty of driving without a license or with a suspended or revoked license. In Walker County, funds were distributed by the Birmingham Regional Highway Safety Office at Jefferson State Community College. Jasper and Parrish police departments reported receiving funding from the grant.
Jasper Police Captain Dennis Corbell said at least two extra cars will be on Jasper roadways until after Memorial Day.
"This is the first weekend of summer vacation, and we want area residents to know that we will be out in force," Corbell said. "We are wanting to let the public know, because this isn't something we are trying to hide. We will be out there doing our best to keep all our citizens safe. We also want people to know that if they are in violation of the law, they will be ticketed."
Parrish Police Chief Nick Smith said his department also received grant funds to boost patrols.
"I don't expect we'll have a lot of problems, but we will have our full staff on patrol," he said. "We want everyone to have a safe and happy holiday."
Throughout the weekend, officers will also emphasize enforcement of the state's seat belt laws by conducting safety checkpoints. Jasper and Parrish police said they would have roadblocks set up in various areas.
"The biggest thing we usually see is people driving without a license or driving without insurance," Smith said. "We are letting people know that we are going to be out there looking for these things. It shouldn't be a surprise when they get a ticket for them."

Re: Int154/185/184 get a bad rap?
its pretty obvious that they were landscaping, grounds keeping vehicles. its a big lawn mower. it can tow a trailer for my wife's mulch and pine straw or for picking up broken tree limbs after our annual tropical storm or hurricane. but thats why i bought it. as a lawn mower.
Re: Int154/185/184 get a bad rap?
IH marketed the Cub 154 and the others in the herd as Estate type tractors. They are not and were never expected to be a farm tractor -- they are lawn/yard care machines. To expect a Numbered Cub to function as both a lawn/yard care machine and a farm tractor is irrational. As a yard care machine the 154 and siblings apparently do a great job. They mow grass, plow snow, throw snow, haul yard waste and other hauling chores quite nicely from all reports. For the ag implements available I would assume that they were designed not so much for farming but tillage for flower beds etc. That is what I see a Numbered Cub used for, certainly not cultivating my garden. Course that is JIMHO.

Re: Int154/185/184 get a bad rap?
I think the int154 could easily cross over into the farm use with its dual brakes, the rear PTO tiller and the 3pt hitch. I think for its size its still a great grounds keeper on an estate. Havine the creeper and the 3pt rear hitch opened up the int154 for and use. Plus the live PTO that was a big improvement.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: Int154/185/184 get a bad rap?
I'm rebuilding my PTO right now and it just had wornout ingagement bearings and everything else looks great. To me its a great setup. The PTO clutch setup is a safety between the PTO drive and the attachment. Other wise its a direct drive which i really don't want. Not having a clutch between the drive and attachment puts an extra shoch and more wear on the driven parts without it. The onlt improvement i could see is a wet clutch setup like the gravely tractors had they used the same princable.

Re: Int154/185/184 get a bad rap?
It took a bit to get my two 154's up to good operating condition after years of neglect and abuse. They are good machines, if you use them for what they are intended for, mowing grass and associated finish yard work. They are not made for plowing, pulling stumps or running through the woods chopping up everything they can push over. I've seen around 8 of the 154-184 design, compared to about 20 of its more traditional counterparts in my County while out and about scouting the next tractor to bring home. When you compare how long of a time frame each design rolled off the line, I'd say, at least for my area, the later model Cubs out sold the earlier ones.
My beef.... A bit more time could have been put into the engineering and design of the frame IMO...

Re: Int154/185/184 get a bad rap?
Being retired from one of the top ten engineering groups in the country(USA) here as a test lab lead tech/welder/fabricator and one some engineers look to for answers when there stumped on a design i noticed when i disassembled my on going 154 fel/backhoe project some area's are missing welds. I think they did just enough fabricating to get by. Back then we didn't have a CAD computer to go by with the stress analysis option to help in the design.This could give them information on the stress points are on the computer in there design and were to add more strength. We must understand the frame is mean't to flex in certain areas or it would crack, but the front axle bracket area is missing welds were it really matters. I did box the front end of the grame connecting the left and right frame rails. I also welded the frome axle bracket to the cross gusset above it too. This cross gusset only has welds on one side of each frame rail too. I welded both sides too. Now i may have a little more weld tha whats required but i'm sure nothing will break or crack after all its the subframe that holds it all together anyway with the FEL/Backhoe. I did and do notice a lot of frame flex in my int154's too. They seem to flex more than my cub cadets too in off camber situations. It's ok to have some flex but i don't push them past there positive stops on the front axle. We need to watch how much off camber we go too. The 154 & other number series tractors are mean't for even ground or slightly hilly "estate" mowing anyway. There not an off road brush haking machine. I feel even the Farmall Cub is for the same light duty work too. Both Cubs have there designs lacking something. I could pick on both of them for flaws but i won't compare them, because there two different tractors.
The 154/numbered series out sold the fcub in numbers if we look at the IH production number and compare them in sales is because the estate owner didn't want a farm looking trator on his estate. He wanted a sleek looking sheetmetal dressed tractor more like a cub cadet on steroids. Something more modern looking not a blast from the past. Plus i think the all castiron look may scare people too with its intimidating muscle look.
Lets face it the 154 / 184 /185 shine at mowing estates while the farmall cub really shines at cultivating crops. I see that most of the farms here use a larger tractor thats lower in height for plowing dirt while the "highboy" fcub is setup for cultivating.
Stress analysis on the computer is ok if we use it and understand it. Years ago we would just overkill the designs so they lasted a lifetime. Well to me longer than what they last today quality wise. The japanese motorcycles are a very good example of before and after stress analysis. There 70's and 80's motorcycles were way over built. This is why there still around today. The 750cc engine of the 70's/80's isn't the 750cc of today its more powerful and lighter in weight, while the 70's/80's engine to me was bullet proof and heavier, plus these will last forever. The newer bikes are built on the just on the edge using stress analysis. Back in the mid 80's GM tried to cut back doing a cost reduction on the amout of castiron they used in there engine blocks. There still having problems with engines cracking to this day. (blocks & manifolds) Like i said its ok to use the stress analysis but you need to understand it and what its telling you. Some companies miss the whole idea of using stress analysis and some still don't use it at all. This is why bad products still go out the door today.
Now when fabricating and designing something all the strength is in the vertical placement of the steel and welds. You need to use the steel in the widest/highestvertical position thats were the strength is.
Example; OCC "orange county choppers" built and installed a crane over one of there cnc machines. They laid the C Channel down flat, in a horizontal position not using the steel in the widest vertical position were the strength is. It does nothing for added strength and there losing the strength of it using it that way. For them being iron workers i don't understand them doing this. The vertical welds are the strongest too. This is why the frame rails are the highest/widest in its vertical position thats were the strength is.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.
Re: Int154/185/184 get a bad rap?
Don't want to nitpick, but if we are going to make production statements they really have to be accurate.
IH built 253,184 Farmall/IH Cubs over it's production life. Probably the most prolific model ever produced.
IH Built 25,497 IH Cub Lo-Boys over it's production life
IH built 29.171 IH Cub Lo-Boy 154's over it's production life.
IH built 6,346 IH Cub Lo-Boy 185's over it's production life.
IH built 4,224 IH Cub Lo-Boy 184's over the first 2 years of production and I would guestimate that maybe half to equal that amount for the last 2 years of production bringing it to around similar numbers to the 185.
With the total Lo-Boy production probably sitting around 41,863 units, the Numbered Cub production is substantially less than the combined production of the Farmall Cub in 1947-1948. Considering that there are over a quarter million Farmall/IH Cub units produced,
Farmall Cub production: '68 231005 - 232980 - 1975 units
IH Cub Lo-Boy production: '68 24481 - 25998 - 1517 units
IH Cub Lo-Boy 154 production: '68 7505 - 8272 - 767 units
The Cub Lo-boy production ended in 1968. Farmall/IH Cub production ended in 1979. I84 production numbers are clear up until 1978, but production numbers
'77 43802 - 46162
'78 46163 - 48029
'79 48030 - ?????
'80 49873 - ?????
are definitely unclear after 79.
The only Cub that the 154 Lo-Boy series outnumbered was the IH Cub Lo-Boy and only because IH ended production and superseded the Lo-Boy with the Numbered Series. That is probably what you meant, but it was a nice exercise for me.
Again, IH designed the Numbered Series strictly for the estate management market. It is not designed to do anything else .... it is a great mower, snow thrower and can do other yard maintenance chores. One thing it is not is a farm tractor.

Re: Int154/185/184 get a bad rap?
I always thought the Farmall H was the highest produced Farmall tractor not the cub. I am surprised the low-boys was such low sellers, I may start looking for one!
My family were coal miners not farmers but my experience looking at my neighbors that were farmers and my 3-4 years as a farm laborer showed no cultivating and no cubs. My employers and neighbors likely would have described a cub, 154 or f-cub as a lawn tractor or city slicker tractor. They would have been too small to be useful. You can farm without cultivating and you do not need to be a farmer to use a tractor. I am not a farmer or a pretend farmer so have no use for plowing or cultivating but I do need to cut grass. I have a few thousand hours riding in circles on both the numbered series and offset cub and I prefer the numbered series by far. They appear well built, good clutch and pto clutch, a real PTO, and I prefer a tractor with a frame. I will occasionally use a middlebuster with the 3-point hitch and it does the same as my f-cub with a 3 point hitch. IHC did offer a plow and disc for the 154 so someone must have thought it could be used for farming. If I had the need to plow a big area I would just get a 3 point plow and I expect it would do just fine.
One size or type does not fit all. My newest 154 I have had for 6 months or so and have roughly 10 hours time on it. My oldest f-cub has been with me for over 15 years and I put somewhere around 1 hour total running time on it. The numbered series fits my needs much better. For others who may have a small garden and want to cultivate then a f-cub may be a better fit. Or get one of each.
I heading out this week to go to New York to buy some of Mikey's artwork. Probable worth more than some of OCC's bikes!

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Another former Green Bay Packer will be wearing the purple and gold next season, as linebacker Desmond Bishop has agreed to terms with the Minnesota Vikings.
Bishop's agent, Blake Baratz, posted a tweet Monday afternoon announcing the news.
Released by the Packers last week, Bishop's first free-agent visit was with the Vikings. Though Bishop had interest from other teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants, the 28-year-old decided to stay within the NFC North and sign with Minnesota.
Bishop is the latest in a series of former Packers who wound up with the Vikings later in their careers. Wide receiver Greg Jennings opted for a contract with Minnesota earlier this offseason after seven years in Green Bay. Quarterback Brett Favre, safety Darren Sharper and kicker Ryan Longwell are other notable names who made that jump over the past decade.
The Vikings' medical staff and front office clearly felt that the torn hamstring Bishop suffered in August 2012 was no longer an issue. Bishop claimed that he's been recovered for months and that his absence from the Packers' offseason training activities and minicamp practices were not directly related to that previous season-ending injury.

The draft resolution on the Lebanon crisis to be discussed by the UN Security Council this week is very much Washington's resolution. The draft does not call for a ceasefire; it is qualitatively discriminatory between the two sides; it has already been rejected by the government of Lebanon as well as by Hezbollah; and even if implemented it will not bring peace. An AP story released even before the full text was released recognized the agreement as a "major victory for the U.S. and Israel."
Passage of the resolution will not lead to a ceasefire, or even a significant reduction in violence; Condoleezza Rice said she did not expect the resolution to bring about an immediate end to the violence, and noted that "these things take a while to wind down." Israel's justice minister Haim Ramon told the New York Times that Israel would continue its attacks and that its forces would remain in Lebanon "until the international force arrived." Since the current draft does not even call for creation of such a force, mentioning it only as a future goal to be addressed in a subsequent resolution, Israel's announcement is a clear warning of continuing war.
One of the still-unanswered questions is why France reversed its earlier position and collapsed under U.S. pressure to accept the draft. As AP described it, "France and many other nations had demanded an immediate and halt to violence without conditions as a way to push the region back toward stability." It is virtually certain that at least part of France's decision (and that of other European governments backing the draft) was based on the need to respond to a widespread public demand in Europe for governments to do something to bring about a real ceasefire. Paris may have assessed that claiming to support a ceasefire, even in the context of a resolution that will not bring it about, is politically less risky than acknowledging that U.S. power is paralyzing the Security Council.
Certainly at least part of the resolution will have the effect of forcing the government of Lebanon to oppose it, as they have so far, thus positioning Lebanon along with Hezbollah as the "rejectionist" party. But it could turn out to be even worse – it is possible that the French capitulation to the U.S. no-real-ceasefire approach may be tied to Paris believing it can succeed at coercing Sinioria and his minions to actually support the resolution, perhaps with some "modifications". So far the Lebanese prime minister Fuad Sinioria, who came to power with full U.S. backing in the wake of Syria's withdrawal from Lebanon last year, has made powerful statements resisting Israel's assault. But Sinioria described the U.S.-French draft resolution as "not adequate," while his cabinet spokesman went to great lengths to explain that the government had not rejected the draft entirely, believing that it "goes some way, but has weaknesses." It was left to Lebanon's speaker of the parliament and top negotiator with France and the U.S., Nabih Berri, to make clear that the resolution agreement was based on "dictation, not negotiation." It was based, he said, on "Israel's requirements, but not Lebanon's needs." A similar position, voiced by Arab League General Secretary Amr Moussa, will significantly shore up Lebanon's rejection. Iran and Syria both quietly rejected the resolution, but without fanfare or new threats.
Problems in the proposed resolution:
1) The first operative paragraph (after the preamble) sets the stage. It calls for "a full cessation of hostilities based upon, in particular, the immediate cessation by Hizbollah of all attacks and the immediate cessation by Israel of all offensive military operations." So right from the beginning there is no mutual ceasefire; Hezbollah must immediately cease "all" attacks, while Israel is only required to stop "offensive" military activity, with no definition of what Israel might consider "defensive" and therefore acceptable under the terms of the resolution. There is no identification of what agency (the UN, UNIFIL, the Lebanese army, whoever) might play a role in determining what is offensive and what is defensive. Nothing in the resolution requires an Israeli withdrawal of its occupying forces from Lebanon.
2) Overall the resolution is consistently one-sided, holding Hezbollah responsible for all actions and requiring action largely from Hezbollah, while failing to acknowledge any Israeli responsibility. This includes origins of the conflict: the resolution defines the hostilities beginning with "Hizbollah's attack on Israel on 12 July 2006," ignoring Israel's role in transforming a border skirmish into a full-scale regional war. It implies parity between the vastly disparate levels of death and destruction on the two sides, even failing to identify Israeli war crimes in the legalistic language of being "disproportionate."
3) The resolution ignores the link between the Lebanon war and Palestine – in fact it does not mention Gaza at all. In asserting as the only cause for the current war the Hezbollah attack of July 12 (when the two Israeli soldiers were captured), the resolution delinks the Lebanon war from Palestine, and implicitly continues Israel's U.S.-granted green light to continue its on-going assault in Gaza.
4) On the question of prisoners, there is no reference to a prisoner exchange. There is a specific demand for the "unconditional release of the abducted Israeli soldiers," but in relation to the Lebanese prisoners held by Israel, there is only a reference to "encouraging the efforts aimed at settling the issue of the Lebanese prisoners detained in Israel." That means no actual pressure on Israel at all. There is no mention of the 9,400 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, whose release (at least that of the 300 or so children and 125+ women among them) was part of the first demand by Hezbollah in exchange for the captured prisoners.
5) There is no reference to Israel's use of internationally-designed illegal weapons. The resolution does call on Israel to turn over to the UN maps of its mine fields in south Lebanon (remaining from its 18 years of occupation) but there is no requirement that it cease its current use of prohibited cluster bombs (which become land mines when they do not detonate immediately) and white phosphorous ammunition.
6) The resolution describes what a future permanent ceasefire might look like, but does not call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire now. It raises the future intention of the Council to authorize creation and deployment of a "UN mandated international force to support the Lebanese armed forces and government in providing a secure environment and contribute to the implementation of a permanent ceasefire and a long-term solution." Left unclear is whether this would be an actual UN "blue helmet" peacekeeping operation, created by and accountable to the UN, or a UN authorization for a so-called "coalition" that would be made up of a number of countries operating under a UN grant of legitimacy, but without actual UN oversight or control. The reality on the ground, of course, would look suspiciously like a re-occupation of southern Lebanon carried out by Washington's NATO allies rather than by Israeli troops directly. The only possible hopeful sign of this aspect is the staged separation into two resolutions before trying to create the "international force." The current draft resolution is NOT taken under Chapter VII — the follow-up resolution referred to would be under Chapter VII, necessary to authorize the use of force. France has taken the position that it would not send troops until after a ceasefire is in place AND until Hezbollah as well as the Israeli and Lebanese governments had agreed — something that's not likely to happen any time soon. Absent that agreement, it is likely France would refuse to go forward.
7) There is no reference to the seven-point plan proposed by the government of Lebanon, which begins with an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and includes a set of conditions after such a ceasefire. That would include Israel's withdrawal from south Lebanon, UNIFIL (the UN's peacekeeping monitors on the ground) to monitor the withdrawal, the Lebanese army to take over control of the southern part of the country, and more. Lebanese officials stated that the two Hezbollah ministers within the Lebanese cabinet agreed with the call for a single national army under government control, and thus an end to their independent militia, but only if the entire package, beginning with an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, was acceptable.
As of now, the danger for civilians caught up in the war is mounting. If the proposed resolution passes, it will likely do so over the rejection of Hezbollah, and possibly over the resistance of the Lebanese government itself. It would call on Hezbollah to carry out an immediate and essentially unilateral ceasefire, something certain to be rejected, and Hezbollah will therefore not be bound by its terms. Israel will see the resolution as legitimating continued attacks on Lebanon, in the name of "defense." If the resolution fails, the war will continue, but there will likely be a major propaganda offensive designed to undermine the global consensus that this is Israel's and Washington's war – and instead to project Hezbollah and Lebanon itself as the rejectionists of peace.
For the global peace movement, the demand must continue for (1) an immediate, unconditional ceasefire. Anything less – a "cessation of hostilities" set for some time in the future, a one-sided ceasefire imposed on Hezbollah but not on Israel – set the stage for the war to continue, and for more civilians to be killed.
(2) We must continue to educate and mobilize against this war as an arm of Washington's effort to re-map a "new Middle East." The destruction of Iraq, the U.S.-led international sanctions and embargo against Palestine in the context of an escalating Israeli military assault in Gaza, and Israel's current war of annihilation against Lebanon, all are part of a linked U.S.-Israeli strategy to eliminate all resistance to their regional domination and control. The Bush administration is not supporting Israel because its resident neo-cons are more loyal to Israel than to the United States, but because their vision of a strategically unchallenged U.S. drive towards global empire, in which no nation or group of nations anywhere in the world even imagines it could match or surpass U.S. economic or military might, requires a militarized, expansionist Israel to play that same role on a regional level in the Middle East

Many drivers are making their way through Richmond near the Bolton line and wondering what's up?
"We've been doing rolling roadblocks when we're doing the scaling, so we don't have any traffic in case one piece of ledge decides to bounce out into the travel lane," said Richard Hosking, the district project manager for VTrans.
You heard it right-- rocks are, in fact, falling. But not because of Mother Nature, because contractors are forcing rock out of the ledge in Richmond.
"Because we've had ledge fall off and land in the road, I felt it was important to have this done," Hosking explained.
On March 13, a piece of the ledge came loose and landed in one of the lanes of the interstate. Luckily, no one was harmed, but VTrans didn't want history to repeat itself.
"This ledge was blasted out originally about 50 years ago. And the technology back then was basically put the dynamite in and blow it," Hosking said. "At the time that they were blasted we didn't do the presplitting, so we do have loose ledge. Of course Mother Nature has an effect on that the freeze-thaw cycle-- the water gets down behind the ledge through the cracks and when it freezes it starts expanding the ledge and pretty soon we'll have a piece break off."
Contractors are using bars to break off loose material while tightening the crevices of the ledge to stay in place. Hosking says he anticipates the project will leave the ledge in good condition for about 30-50 years. But in order to get the work done efficiently, VTrans hired contractors that can handle more than scaling.
"It's specialized work," Hosking said. "There are not many contractors in the United States that do this."
Contractors plan to chip away at this ledge for the next 20 days before they move to the opposite side of the interstate to chip away at the other ledge for a 10-day period.
Managers estimate the project will cost $400,000-$500,000 to complete both ledges.

Three Make All-NWC Women's BB Team
Tuesday, Feb 26, 2008
Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2008
Whitman's Krall, Shubin & Peterson
Named to Women's All-NWC Team
WALLA WALLA, Wash. – Sophomore Michelle Krall tops a list of three Whitman College players named to the All-Northwest Conference women's basketball team.
Krall, a versatile 5-foot-10 guard/forward, was named to the All-NWC Second Team. Emily Shubin, a 5-foot-10 senior forward, and Jenele Peterson, a 5-foot-7 first-year guard, received Honorable Mention recognition in a vote of conference coaches.
As part of a balanced Whitman attack, Krall scored 8.7 points per game and led the team in assists, averaging 2.9 per outing. She also was Whitman's second-leading rebounder, averaging 4.5 boards, and served as its primary defensive stopper on the perimeter. She and Peterson tied for the team lead in steals with 28 apiece.
Krall was one of Whitman's more deadly 3-point threats, making 40 percent (30-75) of her shots from beyond the arc on the season, which was third-best percentage in the conference. In 16 NWC games, she was 19 of 45 (42.2 percent) from the 3-point line.
Season highlights for Krall included a career-high 20 points against Northwest Nazarene. She had 15 points and five rebounds in a victory over Willamette, and she handed out eight assists in a victory at Pomona-Pitzer.
Krall, who was slowed by chronic knee problems over the last few weeks of the season, is a graduate of Poway (Calif.) High School.
Shubin, who averaged 8.2 points and 7.9 rebounds, led Whitman in rebounding for a second consecutive season. She was No. 4 in the NWC in rebounding this season, and she was No. 3 in field goal percentage, making 87 of her 169 shots (51.5 percent) from the floor.
Shubin, a senior co-captain, posted three double-doubles this winter. She had 18 points and 13 rebounds at Whitworth and 11 points and 11 boards at Puget Sound. She sparked a non-conference victory over Cascade with 14 points and 15 rebounds, eight of which came on the offensive glass.
Shubin enjoyed one of her best games late in the season in a home-floor triumph over Puget Sound, the NWC co-champion. She hit the winning bucket with six second left in the game, capping a night in which she made seven of eight shots from the floor while scoring a game-high 18 points and grabbing eight rebounds.
Earlier this month, Shubin was named to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District Second Team. She is a graduate of Bellevue (Wash.) High School.
Peterson, the only first-year player in the NWC to earn all-conference recognition, led Whitman in scoring this season, averaging 9.9 points on the season and 10.1 points in conference games only. She finished second in the NWC in 3-point shooting, making 44.7 percent (17-38) of her long-range shots in 16 conference games. For the season, she ranked fourth in field goal percentage, making 51.4 percent (91-177) of her shots from the floor.
Peterson scored 21 points, making seven of nine shots from the floor, in a victory over Linfield. She made both of her 3-point shots in that game and had no turnovers in 32 minutes on the floor. She added a season-high 22 points at Whitworth, making seven of 13 shots while handing out four assists against just two turnovers.
Peterson's most impressive offensive display came in a victory over Pacific. She made all nine of her shots from the floor, including all five of her 3-point tries, en route to a team-high 19 points. She had four assists and no turnovers in 34 minutes.
Peterson, who lives in Redondo Beach, Calif., is a graduate of South High School in Torrance, Calif.

Yah, but maybe an Applebee's will open up!!!! Please please please be a national chain restaurant so that when m relatives from Ohio come out they won't be scared by anything different.

Diane -
Most likely the space available wouldn't be enough for a chain such as Applebees. And the rental/lease rates wouldn't justify expansion of a chain concentrating on reasonable pricing. In all probability, the space will be filled by a "boutique" restaurant charging $27 for spaghetti and meatballs. That's the reality of Palo Alto today.

US Attorneys
Title 3
EOUSA Resource Manual
> 103.
Financial Litigation Program Managers
The Financial Litigation Program Managers initiative was established by the Financial Litigation Staff in May 1983 as the Regional Debt Collection Specialist Program, which was later known as the Regional Financial Litigation Specialist Program. The purpose of the program is to provide assistance and on-site training to United States Attorney financial litigation personnel. The persons selected to provide this training and to participate as Financial Litigation Program Managers are senior Financial Litigation Unit personnel who have day-to-day responsibility for, and first hand experience with, financial litigation operations. Because of their knowledge and expertise, the Financial Litigation Program Managers are able to identify and accommodate the individual training and information needs of the districts they are assigned to assist. This reinforces and augments the general guidance and support provided by the Financial Litigation Staff.
The Financial Litigation Staff has informed the United States Attorneys of the name and telephone number of their respective Financial Litigation Program Manager. Financial Litigation Unit personnel are encouraged to contact their Financial Litigation Program Manager whenever they encounter technical problems in the course of their work for which they do not have a ready solution. A Financial Litigation Program Manager will contact each United States Attorney's office Civil Chief to make arrangements for an annual on-site training visit by a Financial Litigation Program Manager. If there is an immediate need for on-site technical assistance and training, the United States Attorney should feel free to contact the Deputy Director to request specific assistance.

Sexual harassment and sexual assault
Sexual harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. The key to determining sexual harassment is that the advances are unwelcome.
Many women are subject to varying degrees of sexual harassment in the workplace, schools, and other environments where they spend their time. All ages and both sexes can be affected by sexual harassment, but younger females are more vulnerable because of inexperience and fear of adults.
Sexual harassment usually occurs in a situation where the harasser has some sort of control or ability to dominate a person. While most cases of sexual harassment do not lead to sexual assault, directly informing the harasser that the conduct is unwelcome and must stop is imperative. The victim should use any and all demonstrative behaviors, employer complaint mechanisms, or grievance systems to terminate such unwelcome advances.
Harassers, when not confronted, can feel empowered to go further and set up situations in which other sexual activity or a sexual assault can occur. The importance of taking definitive action early decreases the small but documented potential for sexual harassment to turn into sexual assault.
Remorse, guilt, anger, and regrets after consensual sexual activity
Feelings of remorse, guilt, anger, and regrets about a particular consensual sexual encounter have led to many accusations of sexual assault. People, whether conscious or unconscious with clear memory or not, can have bad feelings after consensual intercourse and feel that they have been violated.
If they have a poor recollection or no recollection of what happened, people occasionally fill that void in memory with thoughts that they may have been or must have been sexually assaulted.
Even women who are conscious and uncompromised can be unclear about their desire for sexual intimacy and may engage in sexual activity at times when they are not sure what they are doing is right. Later, they may have regrets or remorse about what they have done for any number of reasons. Dates that did not work out as expected, bad behavior by the man after intimacy, or misunderstandings about the feelings of the other party can lead to vindictive behaviors, which occasionally can include allegation of sexual assault when none occurred.
If you have regrets or second thoughts about a sexual encounter, carefully evaluate what occurred to determine if the other party had any indication that they were acting against consent. If there is no indication that consent had been withdrawn, then sexual assault did not take place.
False accusations of sexual assault
People invent allegations of sexual assault for reasons that are regarded as criminal. One study showed that over a nine-year period, up to 16% of sexual assault allegations in one sexual assault exam center were shown after police investigation to be false allegations. Authorities, people accused of sexual assault, victims of sexual assault, and the perpetrators of false allegations should be aware that the possibility of a false allegation will be considered during the investigation of an assault.
In most cases of real sexual assault, ample evidence of the assault will exist. In cases of false accusations, it is equally likely that there will be clear signs that the accusation is false. Making false accusations is a crime.

The Herald-Tribune
— The Greensburg boys basketball team jumped out to a large lead in Saturday's regional championship game, then overcame a strong Brownstown Central rally to win 65-54 in the Washington Regional.
The Pirates, just hours after knocking off third-ranked Evansville Bosse, looked as loose and confident as they had all season against a top-five squad. Greensburg jumped out to a 15-0 lead in the first three minutes of the game.
Greensburg seventh-year head coach Stacy Meyer praised his team for avoiding an emotional let-down after an exciting win over Bosse.
"We had to win the first game, obviously, and the two games were totally two different games," said Meyer. "We had that first game where it was an up-and-down game, and that second game was kind of grind-it-out. But there was so much hype for that first game. We win that game, and then you fear a let-down for that night game, and the kids didn't. You couldn't ask for a better beginning to a game."
Junior Sean Sellers scored the game's first four points, and junior Collin Rigney tacked on six straight points with back-to-back 3-pointers before the home-team Braves even scored. Following a Brownstown timeout, junior Macy Holdsworth hit his team's third triple to make it 13-0. Sophomore Ryan Welage then scored while getting fouled, making it 15-0.
Brownstown senior Skylar Thompson finally got his team on the board at the 4:30 mark of the first period. A Holdsworth score was sandwiched between a Brave triple and a basket in the middle of a 7-2 Braves run.
Sellers' free throws, and a Holdsworth 3-ball at the buzzer, gave the Pirates a 22-10 lead after the first eight minutes. It was the type of lead the Pirates had grown accustomed to building all season.
Junior Bryant McIntosh took his turn in the second quarter, scoring four straight points to make it 26-11. Rigney later scored for a 15-point lead at 28-13 with 2:50 left in the half.
Less than a minute later, McIntosh converted a 3-point play to double up the Braves 30-15, and the first half ended 32-17.
Greensburg scored seven of the first nine points of the second half. McIntosh and Welage each scored, and McIntosh later hit a trey for a 39-19 lead – the Pirates' largest of the game.
Thompson, a 6-foot-4 forward, heated up for six points in the third and the Braves hit a triple near the end of the quarter to pull to within nine at 45-36.
Another Brave score opened the final eight minutes to make it 45-38, but McIntosh and Sellers scored back-to-back for a 49-38 advantage.
Greensburg senior Tyler Burcham answered another Brave trey that pulled them to within seven at 49-41. Burcham converted a 3-point play, then added another free throw to make it a double-digit game again at 53-41.
Head coach Stacy Meyer saw his team's opponent refuse to give up. Five straight points, including another trey, made it a seven-point game at 53-46 with 2:50 still left in the game.
Despite another pair of Brownstown treys, Greensburg hit 12-for-12 from the foul line in the double bonus. Pairs by Sellers, Welage, McIntosh, then Welage and Sellers again, held off the Braves' comeback attempts.
"Brownstown was a very good basketball team," said Meyer. "They came back on us…but we had that cushion built so we could absorb that."
Greensburg shot 20-for-28 (71 percent) from the stripe and hit five 3-pointers.
McIntosh led Greensburg with 17 points. Sellers scored 16, including 10-for-10 from the line. Welage added 10, including 4-for-5 at the stripe. Holdsworth scored 10 (including a pair of triples), Rigney scored eight (two treys) and Burcham chipped in four.
Junior Chaz Schneider led Brownstown with 20 points. Senior standout forward Brett McCory followed with 18. He and Schneider each hit four triples. Thompson added 14 and junior Chase Klinge chipped in two.
The Pirates scored a Class 3A regional-best 147 points. Mt. Vernon (Fortville), the Pirates' next opponent, led the four Final Four teams in scoring in a 70-49 win over Frankfort for the regional title. Mt. Vernon, ranked No. 1 in the AP poll, is 24-1 and will face Greensburg Saturday in the Richmond Semi-State around 3 p.m.

Product and Asset Catalogs store lists of products, property, equipment, inventory and other assets, as well as the associated metadata. Examples include apps for eCommerce, retail inventory management and commercial fleet management.
Business Outcome
Traditional Product and Asset Catalogs help businesses keep track of assets and basic characteristics associated with them. Today, however, leading organizations, however, using MongoDB to do more with these catalogs and drive:
- New revenue streams, like Carfax's vehicle history database.
- Better customer experience, like Orange's omni-channel product catalogs across retail, web and telephone.
- Faster time to market, like UnderArmour's product catalog, updated on the fly to stay ahead in the competitive sports apparel market.
Customer Examples
- Agility. The assets tracked by the business today may change tomorrow. The database should not stand in the way of doing so.
- Diverse Data. Asset catalogs may comprise data from on many types of assets. Orange has to track hundreds of pre- and postpaid plans, smartphones, tablets and accessories. Federating these into a single database is hard.
- Granular Access. Organizations may need to search and browse a product catalog across dozens of dimensions, like brand, size, price and color.
- Scalability. Carfax has 11 billion records to date. Criteo manages 1.5B ad units. The relational database was not designed for workloads this big.
Why MongoDB
- Dynamic schemas in MongoDB allow the technology organization to add new products and features — like recommendations — without disruption to the application.
- Documents in MongoDB make it easy to store different assets with different attributes — like shirts, shoes and soccer balls — in a single place.
- Rich query language, indexing and analytics provide flexible access to information, however the business may need to find it.
- Horizontal Scaling makes it cost-effective to manage as many shirts, trucks, parcels or any other asset required by the business.

We all knew that some big news was going to come out of Flowery Branch at some point. The Falcons had significant needs to address, and very little cap space with which to address it. The Falcons announced today that they have cut Michael Turner, Dunta Robinson and John Abraham. All three of these names have been tossed around as possibilities, but the fact that it isn't really a surprise and the understanding that it's a business doesn't make it fun.
Michael Turner was an impact player for the Falcons basically from the moment he arrived in Atlanta. In 2008, his first season with the Falcons, his 1,699 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns were integral to helping the Falcons get the bad taste of 2007 out of their mouths. Turner holds a number of Falcons franchise records, including most rushing yards in a game, most career rushing touchdowns, most career 100 yard games, most points scored in a game, most touchdowns in a season, most rushing touchdowns in a game/most touchdowns in a game, and most consecutive games with a touchdown. Turner is also responsible for possibly the greatest Falcons gif of all time, when he picked up Eric Weems and threw him at a defender.
In five years with the Falcons, Turner amassed 6,081 rushing yards and 60 touchdowns. Turner had undoubtedly declined this season, with just 800 rushing yards, and this move does not come as a surprise, but we'll miss seeing #33 on the field in red and black.
It was huge news when the Falcons acquired Dunta Robinson on a six year/$57,000,000 contract as a free agent from the Houston Texans prior to the 2010 season. Robinson has not turned out to be the ballhawk fans, and presumably the front office, expected, but he hits like a truck, and was actually one of the better run defenders for the Falcons last season, which tells you all you need to know about what needs to improve from the front seven.
While Robinson was graded by Pro Football Focus as the second-most effective (behind Kroy Biermann) defender against the run last season, that's not really what teams look for in a cornerback. Cutting Robinson leaves the Falcons with $3 million in dead money, according to Spotrac, but this move still makes sense from a salary cap perspective. It will be interesting to see if the Falcons decide to make a play for Brent Grimes, or address this roster vacancy in another way.
The most surprising move made by the Falcons today, at least to me, was releasing John Abraham. Abraham has been one of the best pass rushers in Falcons history. Abe came to Atlanta in 2006, and since that time has had 68.5 sacks. Abe was graded by Pro Football Focus as not only the most effective pass rusher for the Falcons in 2012, with 10.5 sacks, 8 hits and 38 hurries, but they also graded him as the most effective defensive player in 2012 overall. In addition, Abe is second on the Falcons all-time sacks list, and currently leads the league in sack totals.
It's hard to see a guy like Abe walk out the door, especially knowing that he was basically the only effective pass rusher the Falcons had last season and how important it is for the Falcons to improve in that area.
I certainly understand the business side of the NFL. I'm willing to accept that, when you finish the season just a few yards from playing in the Super Bowl, you have to be willing to accept some difficult decisions to take the team to the next level. But, it's still hard to see veteran players released, knowing how significantly they have contributed to the success of this team in the Mike Smith/Matt Ryan era.
Arthur Blank told us last season after the embarrassing loss to the Giants in the postseason that there were "no sacred cows." Today's cuts emphasize that. But, I trust Thomas Dimitroff et al to make the right moves to put this team in a position to win.
How are you feeling about today's cuts? What moves do you expect the Falcons to make with the cap space they've created?

Cuts at NHS mental health trust
Norfolk and Suffolk NHS mental health trust is planning to cut 500 jobs and 20 percent of its in-patient beds over the next four years. The trust hopes to do this without making compulsory redundancies.
The redesign of services is due to the £20 billion of savings which are expected to be made nationally across the NHS.

Refugio has impressed me for a small division school. They are undefeated at 15-0. They won the StJoe tourney. Sandies will be team to beat in thier district. They make few mistakes and the pitcher change has made for a better selection of pitches. They to recently won a tournament. Sandies play Edna Friday, 3/11. Then Sandies vs East on Tuesday.
My area rankings:
1. Port Lavaca, 2. Refugio, 3., Edna, 4., Victoria East, 5., Victoria West, 6., Yoakum, 7., St. Joe -Victoria, 8., Cuero, 9., Industrial, 10. Palacios

Healthy Origins Tocomin SupraBio 50 mg tocotrienol complex.

Posted by Reviewer1863879 on Feb 05, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
The composition of this product is identical to the formula originated in Malaysia, and is in a convenient 50 mg softgel formulation. The tocotrienols within this product represent a special, highly beneficial form of vitamin E not readily found in US formulations. The cost for multiple bottle purchases is an excellent price. I will continue to purchase this product for long term, multi-year benefits.
A great vitamin E

This is a great blend of mixed vitamin E to get the most effective and wide range of health benefits. Good quality and easy to take. If your going to take vitamin E (and everyone should be since we lack getting enough in our diets) make sure you are taking a blend of tocotreinol and tocopherals. Research this because many are missing out on taking this important vitamin!

I am hoping the problem is simply that these were shipped during the summer, but a lot of the capsules in the bottle leaked so I had to throw away a good portion of the bottle.

I have compared other tocotrienols and only found one comparable to the Healthy Origins product, but the other was pricey. Great product, amazing price, ships fast - overall, I give iHerb two thumbs up for this product!

I received this product and the whole bottle has leaking softgels in it. Tocotrienol has a very strong color and odor and makes a mess every time I take one out. Healthy Origins is a OK company, I'll stick with Jarrow formulas tocorienol and Dr. Best.

Just to say we are really happy go lucky couple with many cruise on rcl, this is my first and probably my last attempt at doing a review. This transatlantic our 7th left a lot to be desired.
Food. very disappointed with selection, and quality, our wait staff were excellent, but the food coming out of kitchen was never hot. we were a table of 8 and all had similar complaints.
