He went through all my different options and gave me an unlimited amount of reviews, enabling me to suggest changes and improve the site day after day. The turnaround was so quick as well. I would make suggestions one day and he would alter it the next.
The design was simply stunning. Really clean, modern and easy to navigate. I could not thank him enough at the end especially after receiving the invoice, I would of happily of paid double what he charged.

The right to bear drive-by shootings nowadays extends to Mexico.
The "War on Drugs" may appear like a victory overseas but at home it is a total disaster. Demand has never slackened and the typical bureaucratic solution, is to increase law enforcement. Instead of throwing more money into this hole, how about starting with the basics: legalize marijuana, build up community life, stress humanism over social Darwinism, encourage neighborhood finding solutions, discourage lawsuits, discourage rampant individualism, sink roots in the community, balance spiritualism and materialism. When life becomes livable, healthy and less stressful people will naturally ditch drugs because they don't need them to get by in the concrete jungle. But changing a way of thinking and the lifestyle that America has become accustomed to will take decades.
"...Mexican authorities have seized 55,000 of these weapons of war. That is enough to equip many NATO armies..."
This comment is typical of the lack of intellectual rigor that The Economist displays whenever guns are mentioned. The statement might apply to the Luxembourg army, but to nobody else in NATO.
Lots of Englishmen have an irrational fear of guns that dates since before the Second World War. When the Germans were knocking on your doors in 1940, Churchill made anguished appeals for Americans to donate their privately owned guns to arm your soldiers (they had left most of their weapons in France).
After the war, lessons learned were quickly forgotten and those presents from the American people were destroyed.
Remember Santayana's comment about those who fail to learn from history.
well any reasonable person can see that war on drugs failed and that there is a huge interest in drug enforcement to continue that war. The politicians play with of course as it is always good to be seen as hard on crime. I suppose as long as US have enough money to continue this nonsense there will be no progress.
As a Texan I speak for many of my fellow citizens when I say that we would be willing to see a significantly more "militarized" US response to the this problem long before we are willing to begin to entertain further restrictions on our weapons rights. And we do consider a right to own weapons without government oversight, in the same league as the right to say what we please or travel where we want.
The more violent drug crime "spills over the boarder" the more "dug in" and insistent we will be on not seeing further weapons restriction. Indeed, the more insistent we will become on having weapons, more and better, with us more often, and less restricted on the conditions of their use. We see the role of the government, ours and theirs, as taking care of the thugs so that "we the people" don't have to. We insist on not finding ourselves in a position where the government fails and we are disarmed and unable to take up the slack.
Were the US to devote have the men and materiel to secure our Southern border as we devote to the quixotic attempt to bring liberty to those who don't want it, we could solve this problem in a month.
The Issue of crime and corruption is one that has been a growing concern for many people that has only recently been addressed effectively. I agree with most of what this article states. It is definitely true that the widespread of drug trafficking is due to lack of government control, the corrupted officials, as well as lack of willpower on the part of many of the citizens to cure this problem due to fear from intimidation. In fact, I have recently read in another article that a huge percentage of the police force accept bribes from gangs. This is due mostly to their low pay: why would they do so much work and put their lives in danger when they can get payed more money to just look the other way? To counter this, I believe that the government needs to first of all, unite the many different police forces and offer the officers training (after weeding out the corrupt ones), which they are doing. However, before that, the government itself, especially those of states, need to be fixed of corruption. One fact in the article i have a problem with is that US is partly to blame because they are selling weapons to the gangs in Mexico. I am aware that the bill of rights allow us to bear arms but I'm pretty sure that the 'arms' we're allowed to have does not include machine guns and grenades. Also, another way that the US and Mexico are attempting to fix this problem is by legalizing cocaine in California. Although this may seem like a viable solution, i do not believe that citizens of California should be put at risk in order to help the issue in Mexico, which is largely the fault of the corrupt officials who allowed the problem to inflate to the size it is now. Also, the cracking down on drug trade is causing gangs to resort to other crimes, such as kidnapping. I believe that the government (and the people of Mexico) as allowed this issue to get out of hand and i think only time will be able to tell if the measures that are being implemented are enough, or if the drug trafficking will rise up once again.
what happens after the weed was legalized but coke and meth became the new darlings of drug users? Should the United States then legalize those too?
The Economist wants legalization for marijuana since "drug addiction, like alcoholism and tobacco consumption, is properly a matter of public health rather than the criminal law". But admits that "the drug gangs would still be left with more lucrative cocaine and methamphetamines".
With due respect, these positions sound more idealogical than practical.
It seems the Economist agrees that the GOAL should be containment of addiction. I do agree with that goal.
Can you show evidence that legalizing marijuana (but not hard drugs) would indeed help in limiting the disease of addiction?
Do you also believe in legalizing hard drugs, like cocaine, heroine and methamphetamines? It seems you don't, but that seems inconsistent. Or if you do, can you show evidence it would indeed help in limiting the disease of addiction?
Such evidence would be interesting to see.
Reading the comments has been more illuminating than reading the article itself. I thank the Economist for providing this highly democratic forum.
I can´t help noting, the high activity rate of the American gun lobby, which here advocates its case in a highly professional manner, showing great knowledge of technical details. One can also read the comments of people, who want to legalize marijuana. I wonder if those groups are to some extent overlapping. It would be very strange, to advocate free trade of guns in the US (be they not assault guns. Which guns can by the way not be used for assault?) and at the same time be against legalization of pot, since guns have been shown, by the candide reality test we have had, to be so much more dangerous to people´s lives than pot.
That said, I fail to see how legalization of pot alone, would pacify the US Mexican boarder towns on the Mexican side. After all, meth and cocain are probably a much larger source of revenue by organized crime in Mexico than pot, or atleast such a big source, that taking pot alone out of the equation, which legalization would (contary to some comments) inevitably do. So all those more hard core illegal sources of pleasure (and later pain) must be decriminalized by legalization.
That said, noone can argue that fighting unhealthy habits, like the smoking of cigarettes, cannot be effective, even if the drug is legal. Experience again tells us what to expect by legalization: Violent crime will be decimated and organized crime aswell, since a major source of its revenues would disappear. I bet that amongst lobbyists in Washington, organized crime takes an active part in fighting against legalization of what at the present are illegal sources of affecting peoples mental state. To equate the legalization of drugs with legalization of child molestation is an analogy not worthy of responding to. After all, he who uses what are now illegal drugs may harm himself primarily and others only indirectly in the sense that he may mug someone to get the needed money to feed his habbit or that he is by buying those substances supporting criminal syndicates. A child molester is primarily harming the child, so the analogy is not only inaccurate but also could be the way of a child molester to pacify his own soul.
It's not really drugs. It is money. Drugs alone don't translate into money, not big money. Being illegal: that is what connects drugs to money so big they are worth killing for. America needs to take another look at why drugs are illegal. Is that really necessary? Suppose we backed off? Who would be hurt by that? Who would benefit?
Why would stricter gun laws solve anything? There is one state in the union where it is mandatory for citizens to own a gun and be familiar with it. That state also has the lowest crime rate. I let you guess which state it is. It is in the Northeast. I live in Nevada. I wouldn't dream of going out in the immense deserts without a gun. Also, it's not Mexico with the drug problem. It is the U.S. that causes it.
Kudos to you sirs on taking a direct stand on the support of the decriminalization of what is profoundly a social problem. With the positive intelligent support of media outlets, this cause can actually stand a chance of succeeding.
As to the other comments(@TJefferson, Slow Rolling, LordK) about the gun trade impacting the increase of cross border violence: How can the increased availability of military grade weapons and hardware equal more efficient killing? What sense could that make that the illegal trade in drugs is also tantamount to an increase like Gun running, human trafficking, and other illegal activities. Sloppy writing? Not in the least.
many of the comments in this space only show the ignorance they have on international affairs, the problem is that weapons are sold, legally or not, but these weapons reach the hands of the cartels, ie the fight against drugs should be a concern of the American government because the money and weapons come from America, Mexico puts the dead
It is sad that a consistanly good magazine can publish such bunk as this article. Reseach is your forte perhaps your editor needs a refresher class. It has been consistanty proven by multiple studies (some quoted below) that the arms the cartel are using do not come from the US, cannot be bought legally in the US and are not sold legally by any company in the US except to Govenments. I know its hard for gun haters to take but LEGAL guns in the hands of citizens DOES REDUCE Crime and increase everyones safety. Do your resarch.
I do not agree with legalizing marijuana. If this drug becomes legal then access to it will be much easier. Lets think about this for a second, why is the drug illegal in the first place? If I am not mistaken isnt marijuana legal in the Netherlands? I think if the drug is legalized in the USA this will open the door for other drugs. America will have many of its young people smoking weed all day thus being unproductive and not contributing to society. People who smoke marijuana will be very unmotivated to do anything. Just look into Dutch society to see if you can find any lessons. Legalizing the drug is a very bad idea!
Maybe if Mexico actually even bothered policing their borders it would help reduce assault rifles. You can drive into Mexico from California on Interstate 5 without even slowing down. No customs at all.
I am surprised that in the several pages of comments read, I have not seen anyone establish what I believe is the clear way to stop this problem.
Gun control in the USA? Nope. Why would that help? Did you know there HAPPENS TO BE gun control IN MEXICO? How has THAT helped Mexico? Keep this in mind: If you are a criminal, it is better that there be strict gun control. After all, as a criminal, you already ARE breaking the law, so you break it once more and get an assault weapon. Criminals are better off because lawful citizens are much less likely to be armed. I bet a criminal would hesitate just a bit more to pull a gun on a Texan in Houston, than pulling a gun on a Brit in London. Besides, the overwhelming opinion in this forum is true: Politicians call AR-15s and civilian AK-47s sold openly in some US states "assault weapons". They aren't. You may look like Rambo while holding one of those, but they shoot one bullet at a time, like any other hunting rifle. True assault weapons are procured elsewhere.
Legalizing Drugs? What a joke. Of course any war ends if one of the fighting sides surrenders! Go back to the very reason WHY we are in this war. USA cannot quit a war just because we're not winning . Besides, how would that end the problem? Drugs would still be controlled, and probably heavily taxed, which would create room for a black market, so the thugs would be back. Just because we legalize drugs, does it mean we are going to legalize the drug mafia, with all their murders? NO. Therefore, they would not become legal operators because they'll still be wanted by the law. They would KILL the legal operators. Also, there is a reason why drugs are illegal; are we going to ignore that? What WOULD definitely happen is that some drugs would become legal, our young population would increase drug use, with all the social, behavioral and health deterioration that would come with it. Stronger drugs would certainly arrive, (because consumers would be looking for the next, better, hotter thing). Those stronger drugs would be illegal... and here we would be again, right where we started, but with a society worse off than before.
The REASON why Mexico is a huge exporter of drugs to the US, is because we are neighbors. There has been a very successful war of drug interdiction coming from Colombia, because there is an ocean to traverse, and as pressure has increased, Colombian drug traffickers have seen the advantage of using the porous, and extensive Mexican-US border.
Drugs can be smuggled in a false bottom suitcase, in the occasional car, people tape it to their bodies, or carry it in their bellies. But I believe these forms of trafficking account for a very small percentage of the total. THE BULK of drug moving across the border is using commercial trucking , rail and commercial sea vessels. This is how hundreds of tons of drugs enter the USA.
Hard problems can only be solved with hard solutions. Gigantic infrastructures of cargo transfer need to be created in the border. No Mexican trucks, containers or rail cars should be allowed to cross the border unless INDIVIDUALLY checked and cleared. Is this easy? Of course not. It is a major undertaking. Would it disrupt commerce? Of course. But trade would adjust.
But how much are we spending in lives, dollars and the health of a whole country due to the drug problem? If those resources were channeled to a true interdiction of ANYTHING illegal crossing the border, this problem, along with the weapons and violence, would go away.
As was stated previously, it would have been nice if even a perfunctory level of research had been done prior to writing this article. "Assault rifles" that are legally sold in the U.S. are essentially no different than other semi-automatic rifles that are sold. The only difference is the appearance of the gun. Of course, its fairly typical of leftists to be more concerned with appearance than with function.
Its probably best not to have British authors write about a subject they know nothing about given that they have long since been disarmed by their Big Brother nanny state.
JorgeLuis H M
You seem to bash other's intelligence for not seeing that it is not Mexico's fault that Mexico is unable to deal with the transhipment of illegal drugs through Mexico into the US.
Granted the US must take the blame for its consumption of this poison but are you telling me that the Mexican Army, Federal Police and local authorities are unable to cope with this problem, even with the active help of US military and civil resources?
Why not admit that Mexico is rotten with corruption and that it is the character of Mexico and the people of Mexico that prevents them from rooting out this scourge?
I unequivocally say my nation and my people here north of the border are demonstrating a weakness of will in fighting the drug war, that, if we had shown the same resolve in WW II, we would have lost.
It is a war that must be won. The cost of fighting is grievous but the cost of losing is our souls.
The solution can only be found in the souls of our people and the mettle of our institutions. Until then we are adrift.
You do well to blame America for its guns and drug habit. After all, Mexico is unable to prevent the corruption than is causing it to lose the drug war, so it must be America's fault, right? I mean, it couldn't be a defect in the character of the Mexican state or Mexican people, right? That explains why there are more Mexicans in the US than in Mexico City, right?
Americans will always have their guns and they will always be free.
Death to drug-smugglers and gun-runners.

Radcliff police still are searching for a suspect in a hit-and-run that occurred at about 6 p.m. Monday on North Dixie Avenue across from Corvin's Used Furniture near Swope Mitsubishi.
What appeared to be a white Honda Odyssey hit a silver Chrysler Sedan while both vehicles were in motion, said Radcliff Police Department spokesman Bryce Shumate.
The suspect was described as a white female with brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. The van she was driving had a red sticker of some sort on the rear window.
Catholics in the community can acquire a more tangible sense of the church's saints Thursday night.
St. Christopher Catholic Church in Radcliff is displaying 150 relics of saints including St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Francis of Assisi and St. Thomas Aquinas. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. with a lesson on the relics by the Rev. Carlos A. Martins, followed by "The Walk of the Saints" in the Parish Life Center gym.

Those who want to guarantee a brick or paver at the grand opening ceremony for the Hardin County Veterans Tribute must turn in their orders soon.
The deadline to ensure a brick or paver for the opening is Wednesday as tribute organizers plan to place the order later this week to meet the Nov. 11 ceremony.
Rik Hawkins, a member of the Hardin County Veterans Tribute committee, said the committee extended the deadline as long as possible, but the window of opportunity is closing and it must act soon. He said an order likely will be placed Friday.
Radcliff police are trying to locate a white Honda van and the woman driving it Monday in connection to a hit-and-run investigation.
The van collided with a silver Chrysler sedan in front of Corvin's Furniture on U.S. 31W near New Highland Elementary School around 6 p.m. Monday, according to police spokesman Bryce Shumate.
The driver was described as a white female with brown hair in a ponytail. The only other detail regarding the Honda van was it carried a red sticker of some type on a rear window.
When school resumes next week, Michael Thompson and Hassan Nasir might have the summer vacation story to beat all summer vacation stories.

The physiology and behavior of ectothermic organisms is strongly influenced by temperature. For ground nesting species like the primitively eusocial halictid bee, Lasioglossum malachurum, soil temperature might influence the life cycle as well as the complexity of the social group since the number of broods that can be fitted into the flight season might increase with increasing temperature. Our study populationof L. malachurum at Wuerzburg exhibits a remarkable variability with respect to the number of broods and the pattern of sexual production. Broods are separated by activity pauses during which the larvae develop. In this study we investigate the influence of soil temperature on the pattern of nesting activity (duration of broods and pauses) and on the number of broods in L. malachurum. We observed a total of 1138 nests in 13 aggregations near Wuerzburg. As expected, soil temperature shortened the duration of the pauses, resulting in an overall shortening of the nesting cycle. This is most probably due to a physiological effect of soil temperature on the development of the larvae. With regard to the nesting strategies, we hypothesized that a shortening of the nesting cycle within the limited flight season should enhance the success of a strategy with more worker broods. In fact, patches with higher soil temperature showed more broods. However, this effect was rather weak, suggesting that other factors might have a stronger impact on the variability in nesting strategy within our study population of L. malachurum.

This is great quality backpack with plenty of room for day hikes (although I can fit all my camping gear inside of it, even with the hydration pack). I have went camping many times with it and I have not seen any snags. Its completely waterproof too. The exterior of the backpack is soft, velvety camo texture. I would definitely recommend this to anybody going on hikes. It's lightweight and has straps that buckle around the waist and at the chest.

Review: Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
By Dan Ryckert (Contact)
Tuesday, November 14, 2006
Good: Brilliant dungeons, great new weapons, beautiful art style, best story in the series, variety of enemies, soundtrack, sound effects, epic boss fights
Bad: Visually, you can tell it was made for the Gamecube
Definitely: One of the greatest gaming experiences of all time
In the history of launch titles, there has never been a single one that comes remotely close to the quality and excellence of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Considering this franchise is home to several regulars on Best Games of All Time lists, there is a monumental standard to live up to. After the mixed reactions from Majoras Mask and the much-maligned sailing from Wind Waker, Zelda fans have been anxiously awaiting a true spiritual successor to Ocarina of Time. If you belong in this group, rest easy. Twilight Princess is that title.
First and foremost, this is easily the darkest Zelda title yet. It has always been a series that is heralded for its gameplay, but now it features a story that will keep you guessing until the next surreal, creepy cutscene. I wont spoil anything in this review, but there are some events in the narrative that blow away anything seen before in the Zelda universe.
I will admit, however, that it can be extremely confusing at times. For the first several hours, youll find yourself in what the hell is going on? mode more often than not. One second youre herding goats in a small village named Ordon, and in the next, youre a wolf that has a devious imp-like creature on its back. Nothing major is revealed for quite a while, and youll still be confused after multiple dungeons.
All of the game is based upon two realms: the world of light and the world of shadow. The light world is the Hyrule weve all come to expect. Its filled with merchants, courtyards, fields, and some familiar locales (Death Mountain, Lake Hylia, Kakariko Village). When you visit these areas in the Twilight Realm, all of the life and joy is nowhere to be found. Normal citizens turn into terrified spirits, dangerous twilight creatures drop from the sky, and Link can not (initially) exist in his human form.
The early dungeons are opened by collecting tears of light from invisible insects to fill a vessel. Its as weird as it sounds, and I didnt particularly enjoy these segments. Once you collect all the required tears, the twilight lifts from the land and you can return to your human form.
A lot of people are concerned with how Link controls as the wolf. Many speculated that it would be similar to Okami, but it feels more like a faster-paced version of Link. In addition to its ability to jump to high places, it can also dig and sense hidden spirits. Its fun at first, but I started looking forward to getting the tears just so I could become human Link again. Its far more entertaining to play the game with his items and various attacks. After the first few dungeons, youll gain the ability to switch between human and wolf forms at will. With just a press of the d-pad, you can choose the form better suited for the specific situation.
Wii launch reviews
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Wii Sports
Nintendo Wii hardware review
Staples of the Zelda inventory return, including the bow, slingshot, boomerang, and hookshot. Some of these have been upgraded from previous installments, such as the wind-producing Gale Boomerang and the Double Clawshot. Several great new items are also introduced throughout your quest. My favorite dungeon was probably Arbiters Grounds, as it acts as a virtual playground for the Spinner item. By jumping onto this top-like item and heading towards a groove in the wall, its possible to fly around the edges of rooms at lightning speed. Another great item is the Dominion Rod, which lets Link control statues.
Polish and development mastery are extremely evident in Twilight Princess. Even minor annoyances from previous installments have been avoided. How many times have you had a full wallet in Ocarina of Time, only to open a treasure chest and receive a rare rupee worth 100? You probably worked hard to get to it, and you cant even reap the rewards. Twilight Princess avoids this problem by simply saying It wont fit in your wallet now, so lets put it back. That way, you can always return for it rather than have it disappear forever.
On one occasion, I was shocked because I thought I had encountered a glitch in a Zelda game. This series is absolutely known for its polish, and I couldnt believe it would have any glitches. I was walking through quicksand, and then got out onto stable land. Despite being on solid ground, Link was still walking very slow and awkward, like he was still in the sand. For a moment, I wondered if Id have to restart the game. After a moment, however, I switched to wolf form and turned on my senses. It wasnt a glitch at all my character was covered by invisible rats.
No other game in the series features such a wide variety of enemies. Every dungeon seems to be absolutely crawling with original and interesting creature designs. The Arbiters Ground temple throws literally hundreds of tiny bugs at you, as well as armies of miniature skeleton soldiers. Youve never been thankful for the spin attack as much as you will be when dozens of spider babies surround you.
Spectacular boss fights are a given in this franchise, but TP absolutely went above and beyond my expectations. Without a doubt, these are the most epic and intense end-dungeon baddies youve ever seen. Certain ones (the underwater creature, the amazing battle with a giant dragon) make me think that the development team played a bit of Shadow of the Colossus in their spare time. The climactic battle sequences are some of the most visually striking and fascinating experiences Ive encountered in a videogame.
Obviously, the visuals are a source of much debate with this game (and the Wii in general). Yes, it is obvious that the game was first developed for the Gamecube. Youll find no high-definition forearm veins, hair strands, or clothing textures here. What you will find, however, is some of the most beautiful art design youll ever see. Whether youre in a horseback battle in a thunderstorm or watching giant birds circle Hyrule Castle, youll see a level of true art in a way most games could never dream of reaching.
Since there is no primary musical instrument to play in TP, there isnt quite as many immediately-hummable jingles like the Song of Storms. Despite this, the soundtrack constantly acts as a perfect complement to the onscreen action. The main danger music in the Twilight Realm is unlike anything youve ever heard in the series, and really does add to the surreal atmosphere. While I never once heard the classic Overworld theme, many classics from Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time make their returns.
In addition to the fantastic soundtrack, youll hear plenty of audio coming out of the Wiimotes built-in speaker. From the palm of your hand, youll hear the sounds of your sword unsheathing, your fishing line reeling in, your Clawshot extending, and even the classic Zelda chime. Just prepare to get a little creeped out when you hear Midnas otherworldly giggle emit from your controller.
Is it truly a contender for greatest game of all-time? Its certainly a possibility, but I want to take a few months for the experience to settle before throwing out such a loaded statement. Keep in mind, I played this game for over ten hours a day for the better part of a week. Most gamers will probably play through this game leisurely, putting in 2-3 hours a day, savoring the game for weeks, even months. I didnt speed-run through it at all (I did almost every sidequest I encountered), but it was constant gameplay with constant note-taking, and Im worried that I got used to the greatness, if that makes any sense. I think that Ill have an even greater appreciation of this title once I go back to reviewing run-of-the-mill, churned-out generic crap like Just Cause.
Weve waited (sometimes impatiently) for this day since we saw Link ride across Hyrule Field in that surprise trailer at E3 2004. After some mixed reactions for the last two main Zelda adventures, gamers can now cherish what is truly the spiritual successor to Ocarina of Time. Hyrule is once again a world of hugely enjoyable gameplay around every turn, and Twilight Princess features the best story in the heralded series history. Every once in a while, a game comes out that reminds you of why you spend hours with controller in hand, or why you invest hundreds of your hard-earned dollars in the latest game console. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is without a doubt one of the greatest achievements in the history of the industry, and it would be a crime to go without this experience.

Got around to actually playing more than 30 minutes on this game. I have to admit that I like the story so far. It is very intriguing how Zelda gave up her kingdom of Hyrule to put put in twighlight so that no one else would get hurt. Link gets transfored to a wolf and his this weird cat that rides him. SO far so good.

Nope there nothing better than that. Especially if you mess with them your dead unless you have an escape route.

Oh yes, theres nothing like a whole flock of chickens plundgin down on you with there beeks and killer claws of destruction. Nope i cant think of one thing that is funner than that......sighs....those were the good old days.
"Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile."
Sounds like a load of fun. The previous version of Zelda had the chickens get mad and all of them would be attacking you all at once. That was a lot of fun.

Yea i have it and its alot of fun. I'm not done with it though. But hey a quick and fun thing you can do is find a chicken ( i know this isnt sounding good but just let me finish ) Find a chicken keep hitting it with your sword and after so many times you will turn into the chicken for about 5 seconds, while your body stands there motionless.
"Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile."
Has anyone played the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game yet? I just got it this past weekend and wondering if anyone can tell me how it is. It looks fun so far.

Is "Polygon" messing up for anyone else?
I've only been to Polygon one other time, so this may be the norm, but it looks really terrible. There aren't any thumbnails, the main slide show on the front page is nonexistent, and comments aren't loading in the forums. Is this just me, or is the website actually messed up? (If it's the latter, please please please fix it soon).

MONDAY, April 5 (HealthDay News) -- Amphetamine-based weight loss pills from Brazil, known as "Brazilian diet pills," are potentially addictive and can cause a variety of medical symptoms, as demonstrated by a case study published online April 2 in the American Journal on Addictions.
Benjamin R. Smith, of Harvard Medical School in Boston, and a colleague write that dozens of the weight loss supplements used by millions of Americans each year have been found by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to contain undeclared pharmaceutical agents. The FDA has specifically warned about Brazilian diet pills, and the researchers present a case study documenting one woman's dependence on Brazilian diet pills containing an amphetamine, a benzodiazepine, and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
The authors note that a 29-year old woman, with a body mass index of 26.9 kg/m2, had been taking Brazilian diet pills for four years despite going into debt to purchase them. She had a history of emotional and physical trauma, depressive symptoms, paranoia and hallucinations, and was living in a domestic violence shelter where she had presented with feelings of hopelessness, inability to sleep and dependence on diet pills. She reported pill-related symptoms such as trembling, sweating and sleepiness, and withdrawal symptoms when she tried to stop. Analysis of the pills showed they contained fenproporex, chlordiazepoxide and fluoxetine. The patient was able to break her addiction to the pills only after psychiatric intervention and three months on fluoxetine and aripiprazole.
"With the increasing use of nonprescription diet pills in the United States, this case highlights the importance of incorporating screening for their use into evaluations by primary care providers, psychiatrists, and addiction specialists. These products may cause dependence, exacerbate existing psychiatric symptoms, and complicate the management of psychiatric disorders," the authors write.

An additive stochastic model of mortality rates: An application to longevity risk in reserve evaluation
AbstractThe paper proposes an additive continuous-time stochastic mortality model which revises that (B&H model) of Ballotta and Haberman (2006). The structure of the B&H model implies that the future hazard rate is proportional to the stochastic component, thus inducing two questionable features. First, in the B&H model, the uncertainty of the future hazard rate will be enlarged as the base hazard rate increases. However, an increase in the base hazard rate may not cause a dramatic increase suggested by the exponential component of B&H (2006). Second, in the B&H model, the uncertainty of the future hazard rate will be larger in the group which is older and will be greatly augmented by the interaction of age and time. But the uncertainty of the future hazard rate may not increase with an increase in age. The problems can be resolved by our additive structure which is the sum of a deterministic estimator and a stochastic component. Since using the additive structure will contribute to the fact that the stochastic component is independent of age and the base hazard rate, in our model the uncertainty of the future hazard rate will not be affected by an increase in age or in the base hazard rate. We further demonstrate an application of our model by calculating reserves of longevity risks for pure endowments and various common annuity products in the UK. We also compare our results with those of the B&H model.

Published March 2, 1999
Swiss-based sports marketing group ISL "has its sights on the NCAA Tournament," according to Wendell Barnhouse of the FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM. CBS Sports' $1.725B rights deal expires in 2002 and ISL is "developing a plan where it would take over" TV rights and sell them to a network. ISL would also oversee the marketing and promotion of the entire tournament. ISL has "not presented the plan to the NCAA yet." ISL is currently "pitching" a proposal for a Div. I-A college football playoff (see THE DAILY, 12/15) and ISL VP/Collegiate Athletics Jim Wheeler said, "We are very interested in the NCAA Tournament. But right now, it's not even in the infancy stages." NCAA Deputy Exec Dir Tom Jernstedt: "We didn't know they had an interest. We're curious to learn precisely what they have in mind." Sources said that ISL's plan would allow the NCAA to "remain in charge of game management and administration, including selecting and seeding the teams." CBS pays around $246M per year for tourney rights, and talks on a new deal are expected to begin within the next year (STAR-TELEGRAM, 3/2).

Austin City Council Unanimously Supports Marriage Equality
September 27, 2012 by HRC staff
This post comes from HRC Editorial and Digital Media Intern Leanne Naramore:
The Austin City Council unanimously passed a resolution today that declares the city's support for marriage equality.
Equality Texas, the organization leading the state's fight for LGBT equality, calls today's vote "the first time in recent history that so many local advocacy organizations in Austin have united in support of equality."
Equality Texas released this statement on their Facebook page following the passage of the resolution:
"The Austin City Council UNANIMOUSLY passes resolution supporting the freedom to marry! Thanks to resolution sponsors Mayor Leffingwell, Mayor Pro Tem Cole and Council Member Morrison. Thanks also to coalition partner Equality Texas, Human Rights Campaign, Anti-Defamation League, NAACP, MALDEF, and allgo for making it a reality!"
Austin is now the first city in Texas whose City Council officially supports marriage equality.
"Passage of this resolution [sends] the message to state and national leaders that Austin is a community that values equality for all it citizens. The resolution [also sends] the message that the City of Austin believes all couples in loving and committed relationships should be given the opportunity to create stronger and more successful families through civil marriage."
We applaud the Austin City Council and the various organizations and political leaders who worked to pass this resolution. Let's keep the momentum going for LGBT equality in Texas!

Sarries agree Vicarage Road deal
ESPNscrum Staff
May 11, 2011
Saracens will play at least 10 games at Vicarage Road next season © Getty Images
Saracens will play at least 10 home games at Vicarage Road next season after agreeing a short-term deal with Watford Football Club.
The Aviva Premiership title hopefuls are awaiting planning permission for their proposed £14million redevelopment of Copthall Stadium in Barnet.
It is hoped the new 10,000 capacity ground, which will have an artificial pitch, will be ready in January, but in the meantime they have opted to continue staging home games at Vicarage Road, where they have spent the past 14 years.
The delay could leave Saracens waiting until the 2012-13 campaign to make the transition, but chief executive Edward Griffiths is prepared to show patience.
"We hope to move at some point next season, but if it happens in 2012-13 then so be it," he said. "We are confident that planning will go through, it will just take a bit of time. It's a 99-year lease for Copthall so adding another six months isn't the end of the world."
The deal at Vicarage Road, struck on enhanced terms for Watford FC, covers at least 10 matches with an option for further games should Copthall Stadium not be completed in time.
"The club is happy to welcome Saracens back to our stadium next season," Hornets owner Laurence Bassini said. "They approached us to see if we could take into account their current situation with regard to their ongoing Copthall Stadium negotiations. Given the long-standing relationship between Watford and Saracens, it is only right that we considered their request."

Microsoft Patch Tuesday Roundup - April 2011
by Paul Asadoorian on April 13, 2011
It's very exciting (depending on your perspective) when there is a record-breaking Microsoft Patch Tuesday! April 2011 is the largest Patch Tuesday release in history, with 17 bulletins covering 64 different vulnerabilities across several products. While everyone is beating the "Microsoft Patch Tuesday Crisis Drum", attackers are continuing to have success breaking into major organizations using the "exploit du jour", some social engineering methods or a combination of both. Rally to patch your systems! What I would like to suggest is a weekly, or even daily, "patch rally". Patching needs to be an ongoing process of checking to see if patches are available, applying the patches, and then verifying that the patches have been applied and installed properly. I don't think we need to "take time to stop and patch"; we just need to patch as a normal, everyday, regular business operation. It's sad that we have to install more software to fix broken software, but it has become the way of the IT world. If your business cannot sustain being patched, the you've probably chosen the wrong software and configurations and your business will likely be negatively affected. The negative effects happen in two ways: 1) you install the patches and your system and/or software fails as a result of a bug in either the software or the software patch or 2) you don't apply the patch and attackers compromise the system and ruin the integrity of the system and the data contained therein. So, hence my cry to "rally to the patch"!

Eleven people rushed to the hospital with severe burns while stunned witnesses looked on. The quick and violent blast caught on camera in Pennsylvania happened in a food truck and the people who were hurt say it came out of nowhere.
A mother and daughter were working inside the truck when it happened and, incredibly, both of them are expected to survive.
The cause was something very common in food trucks everywhere – a propane tank that exploded.
The horrible tragedy could happen anywhere. In the Kansas City metro there are more food trucks than ever that cater to everything from sandwiches to Mexican food, funnel cakes to cupcakes.
The best places to find a meal on wheels is in Westport and downtown. The advantages are that they're mobile, fast and efficient.
David Ruiz prefers his mobile kitchen to a brick and mortar restaurant because he says it's cheaper and easier to run. He also doesn't have to put up with the day-to-day stress of a fixed structure.
"I don't have to have a roof. I don't have to have AC or heating. It makes your bills less," he said.
But incidents like the one in Philadelphia are a reminder that food truck operators might need to take some extra precautions. Ruiz's freedom comes with certain risks. His small kitchen is more exposed and so is his propane tank and generator.
"It doesn't scare me, but it kind of warns me to always stay on top of your safety, always stay on top of your safety. That helps a lot," he said.
The health department of Kansas City, MO, said it inspects food trucks for cleanliness and to make sure kitchen equipment works properly, but propane tanks don't require an official inspection. That responsibility falls on owners like Ruiz.
"I have two 100 [gallon] propane tanks and I want to make sure they're done right, that there's no problems," he said.
The Kansas City Fire Department said propane tanks on food trucks should be treated just like the ones on a home gas grill. They should have new fittings that fit snugly and don't leak. Ruiz said he has his tanks examined every time he refills.
"Check them before you leave every morning, check all of your gas lines, make sure there's no leaks at all," he said.
The fire department also advises home propane users to check their tanks and their fittings, especially going into the Fourth of July weekend.

When the Child Trust Fund was removed as an option for parents and guardians many new parents were looking for an alternative plan to help their children with their future opportunities. The Junior ISA came along and filled that void, it was launched on the 1st of November and it is the brainchild of the current Coalition Government.
If you are looking to find out what saving and investment plans are available to you, then all you need to do is ask an expert.
MyMoney account
The Junior ISA is a very flexible account, and allows for tax-free savings and gives parents the option of how much they would like to contribute. The limit for contributions is £3,600 until 2014 after which the top level of contributions will be adjusted on a yearly basis. Rules that govern the Junior ISA have forced that any child with a Child Trust Fund are not eligible for a Junior ISA, this means that there are almost 5 million children born between September 2002 and January 2011 who cannot have a Junior ISA opened for them.
If you are interested in taking out plan that is jargon-free and effective, then the Junior ISA is one you should consider. You can save up to £3,600 tax free a year, which will be given to the named child when they reach 18.
HSBC have also entered the children's saving market with their MyMoney account, which is a combination of MySavings and MyAccount. This savings account is open to any child that is aged 7 and the current account is available when the child is aged 11.
The MyMoney account makes it easy for children aged 7-17 to begin managing their own savings expenditure. With the MySavings account the money contributed will accrue interest on a monthly basis, and you are able to access the money saved at any HSBC branch using a cash withdrawal book that you will be provided with.
Cash card
While there are many plans for parents to consider, the one being championed by the government is the Junior ISA. If you are looking for a Junior ISA then the one on offer by Family Investments offers a very competitive interest rate, Click Here for more information and how to apply.
The MyAccount is also open to any children ages between 11 and 17, and this account provides the child with a cash card and there is also an option of a debit card for those children over the age of 13. There are many other options with this account that should encourage children to save and to encourage parents to teach their children the value of saving.
