With fashion show
Roberto Cavalli and Saks Fifth Avenue, Bal Harbour pulled out all the stops Saturday night at SLS Hotel South Beach, to deliver an exuberant 30th birthday celebration, in honor of the legendary producer and songwriter, Rico Love.
As the welcome cocktail reception began, poolside guests enjoyed an assortment of GREY GOOSE Cherry Noir cocktails.
Red carpet celebrity arrivals included Kelly Rowland, Fat Joe, Pharrell, Fabolous, Bryan Michael Cox, Rocsi Diaz, Luke James, supermodel Jessica White, recording engineer Marcella Araica, Tina Knowles and Adriana de Moura.
Rico stepped on to the red carpet as photographers yelled "Happy Birthday Rico," and Eva Cavalli soon joined him for a couple's photo session by the paparazzi. Two hours in to the event, guests were asked to take their seats at the side of the pool to witness an exclusive Cavalli fashion show, orchestrated backstage by Ava Cavalli, daughter of Roberto. The Roberto Cavalli Spring/Summer 2013 collection was inspired by the poetic decorations of the Art Nouveau period. This year, Rico and Saks Fifth Avenue, Bal Harbour announced they are giving back to the community by donating 10% of the proceeds of sales from the Cavalli fashion show and pop-up store, as well as in-store sales, to Usher's New Look Foundation.
Rico's five-layer birthday cake was encased with notes and bars of music etched in to each tier with Rico's name on the very top in red, and a HUBLOT logo written in white icing on the middle layer. The base of the cake, illustrates the keys on a piano, with 'Happy 30th Birthday' written beneath it. A Hublot watchcase with watch inside was designed in cake to resemble a replica of his own.
As the second course was presented, Sean "P Diddy" Combs, made a grand entrance with an entourage of Rico's friends. "I knew Rico while he was growing up in Harlem," Combs said. " I was blown away by his music then, and I still continue to listen to it now. Please raise your glasses to our friend, Rico Love."

Okay. Allow me to speak to the world on how unfair it is that males; especially white males have it too damn easy. If anybody should be able to speak on this matter and why it is unfair to the rest of the non white male world that white men are privileged while African Americans, Hispanics, Arabs, Asians, a Native Americans, Indians (Remember to all the fucks who don't realize but there is a difference between Native Americans and Indians) people from faiths stemming beyond Christianity (Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etcetera), oh and not to mention WOMEN of all different colors, creeds, and backgrounds are not it should come from somebody who truly sees the injustice in the way things work.
First, let's start with Native Americans. We stole basically every inch of this country sans a few reservations that we left as a token of pity from people who were on this continent as well as South America. We massacred practically an entire race from the face of the earth, but we treat Native American culture as a sideshow; a novelty item; a practical joke. White privileged men run around in Native headdresses making a hollow mockery of the terrors and disease we as white men plagued these innocent people with. Native Americans are still treated as outsiders regardless of the fact that "Native" is part of their race's name. This is of course topped off with the little cherry garnish that they are referred to as "Indians" which are an entirely different country and culture.
Now, let's look at African Americans… This country wasn't just built on the bloodshed of the Natives, but the backbreaking labor of slaves ripped from their country and forced into the new world of torture along with the complete colonization of their homeland and seizure of all of their natural resources which has left Africa a third world country still to this day. (Sounds very much like our buddies the Native Americans, doesn't it?) Now, along with the endless list of derogatory names including but not limited to the word that has been the pinnacle of oppression for centuries, "nigger", we have also held the entirety of African American culture down when it comes to prejudice in the work place, in the eyes of the law (which if you've checked the headlines lately will reveal that the police state has overgrown and is destroying the lives of almost completely innocent African Americans as well as several other various groups of people that are not white men), as well as society as a whole. As a society we have been conditioned to believe that African Americans are more lude, crude, classless, vulgar, impoverished, drug addicted, lazy, criminalistic, poorly dressed, aggressive and violent than white men. Now, if in fact any African Americans have been classified as this, I can assure you the justification lies in how we have stereotyped the entire culture; held their head under water and told them to breathe while at the same time glorifying white males as the ones chosen to lead our society into the future. Now, we have an African American president named Barack Obama and when criticism has struck our leader of the free world which we stole and built with slaves, it has often a times been met with some kind of racial slur; either blatant or subtle. We have not allowed the man to lead the nation without critiquing his every move as if they were preparing for his parole which I'm sure you all know is quite often thrown around when it comes to him being called an "immigrant", a "criminal", or even a "terrorist". He has been held to higher standards than all previous presidents before him simply because he is an African American; one who worked hard all his life to finally prove to an entire race that were once slaves that even they could be president one day. But, honestly, is there anybody reading this who truly feels that they could run the country better than a Harvard educated Constitutional lawyer? If you do, you may need to see a therapist because you're suffering from delusions of grandeur or even an extreme case of narcissism.
Now, a race of people entirely close to my heart- Hispanics. My mother is Hispanic, my girlfriend is Hispanic, my best friends are Hispanic, my grandmother who raised me was Hispanic- furthermore I am still part Hispanic but would you honestly know that from the color of my skin or the color of my eyes? No. But, oddly enough, the joke is on you, because soon you'll see that your country will be almost completely filled with Hispanics who are willing to work harder and do jobs that are beneath white privileged males because they're honest, hardworking, determined, and furthermore NOT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS. Hispanics are not only classified as illegals, though- oh, quite the contrary. Hispanics are stereotyped as lazy, unintelligent, criminals, drug dealers, job stealers,(sounds a ton like what African Americans go through) and why do white males stereotype them as such? Because they realized that as more and more Hispanics come into this country generation after generation, white males will have to work harder for the things that they take for granted in life so often. They take abuse day in and day out being called "filthy Mexicans", "Ricans", "Spics", and the names go on, but soon will be rising up and taking the jobs that they are more qualified to work than lazy white men who think the world owes them a living yet have never worked a day in their life.
Let's bring into the picture, Asians. Now, I'm not referring to middle eastern cultures or Russia, but rather what white men mock by calling "slanty eyed gooks". Let's go back to the 1940's during World War II… There was a certain thing called Japanese internment camps where due to the actions of a country the United States was at war with, we completely threw the constitutional rights of countless Asian Americans out the window seizing their land, personal property, as well as too many lives to count and forced thousands of people into small quarters where many of them would starve, fall ill, and suffer. Why? Because their eyes had a different shape. Flash forward to the Korea and Vietnam conflicts (We should really call them wars and not beat around the bush when we discuss how there was no declaration of war yet we sent thousands of men to war to die, but I digress)… Once again, Asian Americans were met with backlash as if they were the source of this turmoil. Asians to this day are stereotyped as shifty, frugal, overly intelligent, cat killers. Many of them are faced with insults that are too vulgar to disclose. Once again, doing so much for non white males.
September 11, 2001 didn't just claim the lives of the men and women in the World Trade Center and the planes that struck those two towers- it left a black mark on Arabic culture as well as Hindu's indirectly. From that point forward, if you had shown any signs of being Muslim, Arabic, or Indian, you could not get through an airport or anyplace else without being profiled as a terrorist or without a thousand eyes glaring at you as if you were responsible. If only the world turned to look at a copy of the Karan, they would see that the Islamic culture is based off peace and beauty. But white men in authority need someone to point the finger at and exclaim, "That's the bad guy." When was the last time you saw a white man being profiled at an airport or a museum.
Gay, Lesbian, Transgendered, Bisexual, Questioning, Pansexual… There's not one person in any of those classifications who has no felt the animosity of countless men and women around the world. They have had God thrown at them as well as a million and one ways to prejudice them as being "filthy" and "weird" when in reality, they can't help being who they are no more than anybody on this earth can help be who they are. I doubt anybody has tried to make a white male feel sorry for who he is before today.
Okay, so here's the last group that we must discuss and it is very important that we do because regardless of who you are you all came out of one- women. John Lennon once wrote that "A woman is the nigger of the world." Mr. Lennon was correct in making that analogy because women are treated as seconds to men and the way women are treated in society is disgusting. Women have been described as weak, emotional, overly sensitive, unintelligent, whores, sluts, evil (Blame old Eve in the Old Testament for starting that one up), and are given less privilege and power in the world than men. Men constantly overpower women. Women earn a fraction of what men earn working the same job in the same amount of hours for the same level of experience. Women are constantly under attack for their rights to birth control, abortion, fair health care, not to mention the protection of their bodies. Rape and spousal abuse is a very serious issue that we do not discuss often enough. At times it doesn't matter if the truth is self evident that a man has forced himself upon a woman because technicalities will be thrown at the issue and they'll claim she was "asking for it". Women are at times seen for nothing more than pleasure, breeding, and homemaking (which I am not shaming, but must point out is not mandatory for all women who want more for themselves than that). Women are shamed for having more than one partner while men are hailed as gods for sleeping with half the town. Women are treated either as objects or if not up to the typical standards of beauty, then hideous beasts who should lose 30 pounds, get corrective surgery, wear more makeup, dress more scantily clad, and hate themselves for being who they are. Women have been treated as second class citizens since the beginning of time and we have yet to do anything about it.
My point in all of this is that white men don't suffer the same hardships the rest of the world has to because they are not white men. The white man has had it easy since the beginning of time and will always have it easy but why should everybody else have to suffer? So the next time you think about how difficult it is to dial 1 for English, you think that all public assistance programs are wastes of our money, or you think that you have it rougher than the rest of the world, maybe you should think about everybody else that isn't you.
BLACK = I would date you.

I was talking about why Chef Gordon Ramsay was so angry all the time, and explained that he originally wanted to be a professional soccer player but suffered a really bad knee injury and couldn't play anymore, so he poured himself into cooking and culinary arts to help with his anger issues, but his abusive alcoholic father disapproved of his cooking and died before ever tasting any of it and I realized that Gordon Ramsay has the most anime backstory ever.

It's about fucking mutants stop trying to making this meaningful.
Media—comics, film, literature, video games—exist for us to find our own meaning and value in it. Especially mutants, which are a super powerful and accessible metaphor for nearly anyone who has ever felt maligned for reasons beyond their control. Shut up.
The X-Men have been an allegory for racism ever since their creation you fucking idiot
If that hasn't been blatantly obvious from the first issue you picked up, then I don't know what kinda shit you're on.
Also, fun fact, the movies show the divide between humans and mutants as an allegory for the LGBT+ civil rights movement going on now.
In a facebook post by X-Men movie writer Zach Stentz:
And in an interview on why he chose to play Magneto, Sir Ian McKellan said:
"I was sold it by Bryan [Singer, the director of the X-Men movies] who said, 'Mutants are like gays. They're cast out by society for no good reason. And, as in all civil rights movements, they have to decide: Are they going to take the Xavier line — which is to somehow assimilate and stand up for yourself and be proud of what you are, but get on with everybody — or are you going to take the alternative view — which is, if necessary, use violence to stand up for your own rights. And that's true. I've come across that division within the gay rights movement."
Just saying
Marvel has always been about seeing yourself within the characters. Spider-man even though he has super powers, has every day life problems. Making the right decisions, money issues, relationship issues, etc. etc. X-men have always been about discrimination. Whether it's Race, gender, or sexual orientation. If you don't like it, go read/watch DC movies about billionaires and aliens.

It really, really can't be that difficult. Following the very publicized event that took place at a The Story So Far show last year, there were several similar incidents at a Tigers Jaw show last night. Incredibly offensive audience members attempted to kiss Britty Drake from Pity Sex and Brianna Collins from Tigers Jaw on stage. POZ had a team member at the show who can confirm the news, and you can check out tweets and photos (via Nerve) from the night below after the jump.

Another Award for Luke Hayman; Another Reason for You to Hate Him
We have to tell you we're getting pretty sick of Luke Hayman's annoying ability to garner awards from all corners of the earth. Not to mention his dashing good looks. But in the spirit of supporting the design community, we feel compelled to pass along the next in his unbelievable string of honors.
On October 4, Hayman will be honored at mediabistro.com's 10th Anniversary Party, where 10 people from 10 disciplines will receive the prestigious Golden Boa Award, which sounds like either the top seed in a drag queen competition or a deadly venomous viper.
Among the other honorees are some people we like, too:
Dean Baquet, New York Times
Stephen Colbert, The Colbert Report
Adam Davidson, NPR
Jane Friedman, HarperCollins
Scott Goodson, Strawberry Frog
Tyler Hicks, New York Times
Adam Moss, New York Magazine
Craig Newmark, Craigslist
Ken Sunshine, Sunshine, Sachs & Associates
Congrats everyone, may you all look good in feathers.

Nutrition is a sometimes complicated subject in today's world. The focus is normally on the amount we eat in order to avoid weight gain. However, getting enough nutrients, vitamins, and minerals often does not get much attention. This article contains helpful advice on proper nutrition.
If you want to purchase any prepared foods, take a close look at the label first. Many unhealthy ingredients, such as salt and sugar, may be hiding behind that "reduced-fat" label. Foods that have been overly processed do not lend to weight loss. The healthiest items at the grocery store will have a list of ingredients you recognize. Steer clear of any product with a laundry list of artificial ingredients.
Make healthier decisions slowly and don't try to rush things. Change does not happen in a single day. This will shock and confuse your body, which you do not want. Over the next month, add in some healthier alternatives to your old menu, and then you have a habit.
It is smart to eat a variety of protein on a weekly basis. Choose lean meats, skinless poultry and fish. Eggs are another wonderful source of protein. Eating just one egg in the morning has no negative health risks. Try refraining from eating meat one day out of every seven. Substitute beans, nuts, peas, peanut butter or seeds in its place.
Slow down your eating process. Lots of people eat fast simply because they lead busy lives. Take the time to eat your meals slowly. Take your time, chew slowly and savor each morsel. This will help you fill up faster. This way you will be able to stop eating when you have had enough rather than stuffing yourself.
Have you sworn off red meat? You could shake things up by using your meat as a condiment. Meat can add texture and flavor to grain-based or vegetable dishes. Chinese ad Mediterranean cultures do this and have reduced their heart disease-related incidents.
Healthy Diet
Sugar intake is at the forefront of any watch list for a healthy diet. Substituting soda with fruit juice is a misunderstanding that most people have. Fruit juices can be loaded with sugar, even outdoing soda. Knowing the actual content of foods is essential to creating a healthy diet.
Try to eat breakfast on holiday mornings, especially Thanksgiving. If you sit down to your Thanksgiving dinner when you are starving, you are more likely to eat too much. If you eat a snack prior to the big meal, you will feel full faster and will not consume as much.
You can adopt a healthier diet by eating a vegetarian meal two or three times a week. Vegetarian meals give your budget and body a break from heavy meat-centered meals.
You can buy fruit juice if you don't like preparing veggies and fruits. This is a good way to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need without a high preparation time. Drinking juice with a straw will minimize tooth decay.
Achieving and maintaining good health through adequate nutrition, can increase the quality of many aspects of your life. Consuming too much sugar can be bad for your health. A good idea is to cut drinks like juice and soda from your diet. These items contain a high amount of sugar. You want to avoid sugar. If you drastically reduce or totally eliminate sugar from your diet, it won't be long before you observe some changes. Your body will look better, and you'll feel better too.
Balancing nutrition is not something that many do. But, reading this article has helped you gain new nutrition knowledge. Have this advice in mind when coming up with a nutrition plan; you will soon feel better!

Scientific name: Budawangia gnidioides
Common name: Budawangs Cliff-heath
Conventionally accepted as Budawangia gnidioides (CHAH 2010). DNA analysis suggests that the genera Budawangia and Rupicola could both be included in the genus Epacris (Southam 1997).
The Budawangs Cliff-heath is a small, rhizomatous (underground stem that sends out shoots), creeping shrub with hairy branches to 50 cm long. Leaves are lance-shaped erect, 4–8 mm long and 1–2 mm wide, with a sharp point. Small, white tubular flowers, 3.5–5 mm in diameter and 1–1.2 mm in length, with long, free petal tips are produced among the leaves towards the ends of the stems on stalks 2–3 mm long (Harden 1992; Telford 1992).
The Budawangs Cliff-heath is restricted to the northern Budawang Range and associated sandstone plateau escarpments of the Southern Tablelands and South Coast districts, south-west of Nowra, NSW (Harden 1992; Telford 1992). The species has a known range of less than 100 km (Briggs & Leigh 1996), mainly within Morton National Park (Telford 1992).
Budawangs Cliff-heath grows in moist cliff-line niches, in skeletal soil in sandstone crevices or on sandy ledges often beneath cliffs or overhangs, on the margins of open forest and heathland (Harden 1992; NSW OEH 2012; Telford 1992). The rhizomatic stems usually spread through cracks in rocks (Harden 1992; Telford 1992). Associated species include Weeping Baeckea (Baeckea linifolia), Coral Fern (Gleichenia rupestris) and King Fern (Todea barbara) (Telford 1992).
Budawangs Cliff-heath flowers from September to February (Harden 1992).
The main identified threats to the Budawangs Cliff-heath is its narrow distribution, which increases the risk of fragmentation, although this is somewhat mitigated by its presence within Morton National Park (TSSC 2008agm). Disturbance by bushwalkers is also a threat, with previous damage to populations by park visitors having been observed in caves and under rock overhangs used for camping. This has included uprooting of plants to use for bedding and for lighting camp-fires (NPWS 2001; Telford 1992).
The main potential threats to Budawangs Cliff-heath include vegetation clearing, changed fire regimes, grazing by the Goat (Capra hircus), and hydrological change (ANRA 2009).
The NSW Office of the Environment and Heritage (NSW DECCW 2005az) identify the following priority actions to assist in protecting the species:
- Limit extended visitor movement through Budawangs Cliff-heath sites.
- Make visitors to Morton National Park aware of the presence of the Budawangs Cliff-heath and its significance and need for protection.
Management actions relevant to the Budawangs Cliff-heath are at the start of the profile. Other relevant documents include the Morton National Park Plan of Management (NPWS 2001a).

SAN DIEGO -- Some active-duty soldiers in Afghanistan have produced an online video to support young people struggling with their sexuality.
In just five short days, the two-and-a-half-minute video clip featuring service members in Afghanistan has garnered more than 26,000 views.
"If you believe in yourself, you can be able to do anything," Staff Sergeant Steven Procter of the U.S. Army from Bagram said in the video.
"Once you realize that you have friends who are going to accept you for who you are, and the sooner you accept yourself for who you are, the sooner you'll realize that life does get better," said Erin Jones of the U.S. Navy.
The clip was posted on Youtube to encourage young people struggling with their sexuality to stay strong.
"Whether you're gay, straight, bi-sexual, transgender, gender queer, whatever, no one should be put down for who they are," said Jones.
It's one of the first times deployed active duty troops in uniform have openly posted a message encouraging sexual tolerance on the Internet. Military veterans in San Diego are applauding the move.
"Coming from a career where it was my responsibility to discharge people from the military for being gay, it was great to see these folks demonstrate who they were," said Navy veteran Ben Gomez.
"I think the president said it the best last night in the State of the Union when he said it's all about the mission. Nobody cares if you're black, white, yellow, green, straight, gay," said retired Navy Capt. April Heinze. "It doesn't matter. We're all part of a mission, and they recognize that already. So it gets better when people can talk about it openly."
The video is one of the latest in a popular series of Internet videos. Dubbed the "It Gets Better Project," it is designed to inspire hope for young people who are bullied or experience harassment because of their sexual orientation.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have made similar videos and so have many celebrities.

So my hometown Boise State Broncos made it to the big game against Oklahoma.
Should be a great game, but Ian Johnson and Jerrad Zabranski should be able to bring us to victory. Who do you guys think will win this game?
Boise State is my second favorite college team behind U of L.
I went to the Liberty Bowl a few years back where we played you guys, and I was impressed not only with the way your team played, but how incredible the fans were.
Classy, intelligent bunch.
I'm so glad Boise State is finally starting to get its due after back to back undefeated regular seasons and five straight conference championships; I don't care what conference you play in, that's an incredible feat.
Zabranksky's (SP?) is a great QB, and you guys have a monster RB.
I'll be rooting for you!
Im actually a student at BSU right now, and would love to drive down or take the fan bus to Arizona to watch it. I wonder how much tickets for that game would run $$$.
It would be great for all of college football if BSU makes a GAME of it. I hope they don't have another meltdown like last season at Georgia, by far the toughest team they played in recent years....
[size=10pt][size=10pt]YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!![/size][/size]
by far the best game of my life.
this is better than the vikings going to the playoffs anyday.
Best game I have ever seen hands down.
that was simply an amazing game! good to see the underdogs pull it off in historic fasion
Best of the bowl games I saw today.
Gutsy play calling there near the end!
Did you get to go to the game
Go Broncos!!
Congrats to the Broncos!
Just more proof that a TRUE college playoff system is needed...and I'm not talking about one of those BS manipulated, contrived pseudo-playoff systems that the BCS conferences propose that allow them to keep all of the big money either!
funnest game ever. might be one of the best games in the decade

Current Trends Trends in Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury -- New York, 1982 - 1988
In the United States, injuries resulting from falls are the most common type of injury among persons greater than or equal to 65 years of age (1), and most spinal cord injuries (SCIs) among persons in this age group are caused by falls (2). SCI, with its resultant paralysis, is one of the most catastrophic and devastating medical conditions. Previous studies have characterized the epidemiology of SCI (2-4). This report describes changes in the reported incidence of SCI in New York during 1982-1988.
Data on SCIs were obtained from the New York State Department of Health's Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System, which documents all hospital discharges from acute-care facilities in New York. This study included a review of hospital discharges from 1982 (the first year information distinguishing new admissions from transfer patients became available) through 1988 (the most recent year for which data are available). Transfer patients were eliminated to avoid duplicate counts of the same person. SCI patients included in the study were New York residents with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) principal diagnosis codes (N-codes) 806 (fracture of vertebral column with SCI) or 952 (SCI without evidence of spinal bone injury). In addition, patients were included if a secondary diagnosis indicated SCI and the principal diagnosis indicated any form of traumatic injury, defined as ICD-9-CM rubrics 800-959, excluding 905-909 (late effects), 930-939 (foreign bodies), and 958 (early complications) (5). Incidence rates were calculated by year, sex, and age group. Heterogeneity in annual rates was tested using a chi-square statistic (6).
During 1982-1988, 5384 traumatic SCI discharges were reported, for an average crude annual rate of 4.3 SCIs per 100,000 residents. This rate is within the range reported in previous studies (2.8-5.3 SCIs per 100,000 persons) (2-4), although it is somewhat higher than the average annual U.S. estimate (3.1 per 100,000) (2).
Annual SCI rates did not change significantly over time for men or for all persons (Figure 1). However, a significant (p less than 0.001) decrease occurred in rates for women over time (Figure 2); the largest decrease was for women greater than or equal to 65 years of age. For men, rates did not decrease for any age group.
Although data are not available for 1982-1988 on the cause of injury for hospital discharges, data are available on the cause of injury deaths. Preliminary analysis of all deaths from falls among persons aged greater than or equal to 65 years during 1982-1988 showed a continual decline in rates for women over time, from 29 deaths per 100,000 women in 1982 to 24 per 100,000 in 1988. Rates for men declined from 40 deaths per 100,000 men in 1982 to 28 per 100,000 in 1984, then fluctuated from 1985 through 1988 (range: 29 per 100,000 in 1987 to 33 per 100,000 in 1988). Reported by: JH Relethford, PhD, SJ Standfast, MD, DL Morse, MD, State Epidemiologist, New York State Dept of Health. Div of Injury Control, National Center for Environmental Health and Injury Control, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: Interpretation of the trends reported here illustrate how attempts to study severe, nonfatal injuries are frequently complicated by inadequate data. External cause of injury codes (E-codes) were not required in New York hospital discharge records until 1990; their inclusion will allow more detailed analyses of trends in future years. Many scientific and professional groups and private organizations have recognized the need for E-coding hospital discharge data. Both the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists have recommended that hospital discharge data be E-coded. Two reports from the National Research Council have described the detrimental effects on injury research caused by the lack of these data and recommended that hospital discharge data be E-coded (7,8). Six states (Arizona, California, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington), whose combined populations total more than 20% of the nation's population, have recently begun requiring the use of E-codes in their hospital discharge data. The universal adoption of E-codes on hospital discharges will provide the most cost-effective mechanism for obtaining injury morbidity and cost data.
Universal adoption of E-coding presents logistic and technical challenges. However, E-coding coupled with mandatory reporting of SCIs will permit researchers and health department officials to determine the incidence of SCI, identify high-risk groups, define etiologies, and evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures. In addition, the Institute of Medicine\'s Committee on a National Agenda for the Prevention of Disabilities recently recommended the development of a national disability surveillance system to monitor the incidence and prevalence of 1) functional limitations and disabilities; 2) specific developmental disabilities, injuries, and diseases that cause functional limitations and disability; and 3) secondary conditions resulting from the primary disability. Information derived from E-coding is a fundamental requisite for such a system.

On Sunday Democratic Congressman John Murtha appeared on Meet the Press to repeat his call for the withdrawal of U.S. troops. He's the top Democrat on the House Appropriations defense subcommittee and a 37-year Marine veteran. He has long been considered a Democratic hawk. Last week the White House immediately attacked Murtha following his call for troop withdrawal. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said "It is baffling that he is endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic Party."
Rep. Schmidt Calls Murtha "A Coward" on House Floor
On Friday Murtha was called a coward on the floor of the House by newly elected Republican Congresswoman Jean Schmidt. Then on Friday night the Republican leadership moved to silence Murtha's criticism by introducing a bill that was worded in a manner designed to split the Democratic Party The Republican bill proposed "the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately." The bill was rejected 403 to 3. The only legislators backing the measure were Democrats Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, Jose Serrano of New York and Robert Wexler of Florida. McKinney lashed out at the Republicans for distorting Murtha's message. She said "They took his words and contorted them; they took his heartfelt sentiments and spun them. They took his resolution and deformed it: in a cheap effort to silence dissent in the House of Representatives."
U.S. Ignored Warnings About Iraqi Informant Curveball
In other Iraq news — five senior officials from Germany's Federal Intelligence Service have told the Los Angeles Times that they warned U.S. intelligence authorities that information provided by a top Iraqi informant codenamed Curveball could not be trusted or confirmed. Despite the questions about Curveball's veracity, the Bush administration issued dire warnings about Iraq's biological weapons program based on his claims. President Bush repeatedly said Iraq had mobile factories brewing biological poisons. Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell told the United Nations in February 2003 that these labs could brew enough weapons-grade microbes "in a single month to kill thousands upon thousands of people." The Germans were shocked to hear Powell's speech. One official said "We had always told them it was not proven.... It was not hard intelligence." A month after Powell's speech, chief UN weapons inspector, Hans Blix, announced inspectors in Iraq had found "no evidence" of mobile biological production facilities in Iraq. But Blix's announcement drew little notice at the time and the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq began two weeks later. Curveball was an Iraqi exile who moved to Germany in 1999. The LA Times reports the CIA corroborated Curveball's story with three sources: Two had ties to Ahmed Chalabi of the Iraqi National Congress. All three turned out to be frauds. Curveball claimed his brother was Chalabi's bodyguard.
Israeli PM Ariel Sharon Quits Likud Party
In Israel, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has quit the Likud Party and plans to start a new political party. His announcement came just hours after he asked the Israeli President to dissolve the Knesset and call for early elections. Also today, Sharon called the first meeting of prospective members of his new "National Responsibility" party. Sharon's aides have reportedly said he wants to break with Likkud hardliners who opposed the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Sharon's announcement came a day after the Labour Party–under the new leadership of Amir Peretz — voted to leave Sharon's coalition government.
Former Aide of Tom Delay Expected to Plead Guilty
A former aide of Congressman Tom Delay is expected to plead guilty today to conspiring with Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff to bribe government officials, including a congressman, and bilk millions of dollars from Native American tribes. The official, Michael Scanlon, worked as a press aide to Delay and later became a prominent public relations executive. He has reportedly agreed to work with federal prosecutors investigating Abramoff. Scalon is accused of working with Abramoff in a scheme in which the lobbyist would direct tribes to hire Scanlon's public relations firm without telling them Scanlon had agreed to kick back half of the profits to Abramoff. The pair received $82 million in lobbying and public relations fees from half a dozen tribes. Prosecutors charge that Scanlon and Abramoff conspired to bribe Republican Congressman Robert Ney of Ohio who is referred to in the charging document as "Representative #1." Thomas Mann, a Congressional specialist at the Brookings Institution said "I think this has the potential to be the biggest scandal in Congress in over a century. Meanwhile newly disclosed documents show that Abramoff asked the president of the West African nation of Gabon for $9 million in order to set up a White House meeting with President Bush.
Lobbyists Hold $200K Fundraiser for Tom Delay
In other lobbying news, more than 60 lobbyists helped organize a $200,000 fundraising party for Tom Delay on Thursday night. The Washington Post reported the event was expected to be the largest fundraiser for a single member of Congress this year. Among the hosts were lobbyists from American Petroleum Institute and the Edison Electric Institute. Earlier this year DeLay helped push through an energy bill that included nearly $15 billion in oil and energy industry subsidies. Tom Delay was recently forced to step down from his role as House Majority Leader after a Texas grand jury indicted him on a conspiracy and money-laundering charges stemming from a long-running campaign finance investigation.
19,000 Protest At School of the Americas
In Georgia, an estimated 19,000 people demonstrated outside Fort Benning calling for the closing of the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, formerly known as the School of the Americas. It was the largest protest to date for the annual event. 40 arrests were made. Protest organizers said the U.S. military has used the school to train Latin American military officials to torture. The protests are timed to coincide with the anniversary of the November 1989 murders of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her daughter in El Salvador. The weekend demonstration came just weeks after it was revealed that Vice President Dick Cheney was seeking Congressional approval for CIA interrogators to engage in torture.
Ex-Gitmo Detainees Speak At Amnesty Conference
Meanwhile in London, Amnesty International opened a three-day conference Saturday on human rights, prevention of torture and detentions. Amnesty said it was the largest gathering of former Guantanamo detainees and their families held yet. Former Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg spoke to Amnesty ahead of the conference. "The people who claim to be the upholders and defenders of freedom are debating now whether it is legitimate to use torture," said Begg. "After all of what the world has been through arguing against the fact. And if it does in one way or another become legitimised, either mental torture or physical or psychological, which has been clearly used by several countries, then I think the world will spiral into something that nobody will be able to control."
1,000 Call for Halt to Tookie Williams Execution
In California, more than 1,000 people, gathered outside San Quentin State Prison on Saturday to call on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to halt the execution of former gang leader Stanley Tookie Williams. Tookie Williams helped start the Crips street gang. But behind bars he has become a leading advocate for the end of gang violence. He has written nine books and has been nominated several times for the Nobel Peace Prize. He is scheduled to die on Dec. 13. Among the protesters were hip hop artist Snoop Dogg who called for Governor Schwarzenegger to halt Tookie Williams' execution.
CIA Leak Prosecutor to Go to New Grand Jury
And this update on the CIA leak case... Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said Friday that he plans to present new evidence to another federal grand jury. The announcement came three weeks after an earlier grand jury indicted Vice President Cheney's chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Last week investigators questioned Washington Post Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward for two hours after learning that a senior administration official revealed Valerie Plame's identity to him in mid-June 2003. There has been great speculation over who within the Bush administration might have been Woodward's source. The Times of London claims it is Stephen Hadley who is now Bush's National Security Advisor. At the time Hadley was deputy National Security Advisor under Condoleezza Rice. Newsweek magazine has suggested it might be former deputy secretary of State Richard Armitage.

Six-time All Star and long-time manager Jim Fregosi suffered a serious of strokes when he was on vacation with his family and died early this morning with them at his side (after being taken off life support). He was only 71.
He managed the Jays in 1999 and 2000. He had a decent record with the Jays, 167-157 but had the misfortune of managing the Jays at a difficult moment in the franchise's history. Fregosi is probably better remembered for his role as the manager of the scrappy Phillies in 1993 that faced off against the Jays.
Even during his days with the Phillies, Fregosi seemed like a great guy: funny, gregarious and warm. Amazingly, he was in professional baseball for 53 years... he was a lifer.
Reflective of his sly spirit he once said of then Jays' DH Brad Fullmer: "He promised me he was going to hit a lot of doubles. He's starting to piss me off with all these homers."
Another choice quote was from his days in Philly, when he described a local sports talk radio show this way: "People who listen to WIP are a bunch of guys in South Philly that [fornicate with] their sisters and the people that work at WIP [fornicate with] their mothers."
Jim Ringolsby has a writeup here.

He will find that Collins won't be able to get away from defenders and make the 2 or 3 extra passes per game like Skolpepper can.
There is no comparison between DC and KC except for the title QB.
I wonder how Moss will be thinking at the end of the season when he is no better off and they don't make the playoffs. As long as Moss can justify it with some good stats, he should fair alright with his attitude. But I could see him getting all pissy in frustration also. Maybe not this year but next year or the year after.
He will be wishing he could have remained with a consistant talent like DC. When Collins stumbles in the next couple years and they go looking for a new QB. Rice was lucky in his career to have Young and Montana. Rice would still have a lot of stats but it would be a little less than what they are now.
What if Rice had to play with Kyle Boller for 3 years like our young Travis Taylor?
Back on task, Moss didn't have a choice to stay with DC, he was dismissed. I wish Moss would have left the KC and DC comparison and made a Turner scheme to the Tice scheme one and left it at that, which he also made comments on.
BTW, they have thrown to Moss a lot tonight and he has dropped atleast 2-3 balls that were thrown in traffic that I thought were catchable.

A: Poured a nice jet black with a nice tan cap, some good retention going on here.
S: Nose is dominated by bourbon, coffee and cocoa. A wee bit of vanilla and a pronounced booze sting
T: Coffee, rich milky chocolate and dark fruits upfront with stinging bourbon, booze blended with this. The booze was pretty sharp, the finish had a nice bittering and stinging finish
M: Full bodied, well carbonated, pretty dry and hot but very flavorful and it sits well on the palate
O: Pretty darn good if I say so myself. I wish i could find more. Thanks Libbey for getting me drunk and not taking advantage of me.

On tap at the Bier Stein the other day.
The beer pours a blackish brown color with good head retention and lacing. The beer is every bit as attractive on the nose, as I pick up considerable dark chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, light coffee, light leather and light tobacco. The flavor profile replcates the nose pretty closely, with the dark chocolate, bourbon and vanilla seeming to dominate the flavor profile. The beer is moderately sweet, but there's enough hoppy bitterness on the finish to dry out the modest sweetness. Mouthfeel is fairly full and soft, and the finish is long with some light bitterness. Alcohol is very well integrated into the flavor profile; there's no sense of heat or heaviness on the finish.
Very nice RIS, but I'm not sure it's quite up there with beers like the Abyss and Super Nebula.

A - Pours a dark opaque brown-black with a dark tan head that fades very slowly.
S - Lots of chocolate, a hint of burnt coffee, and some vanilla.
T - Burnt oats and coffee, bitter and not very enjoyable.
D - Good carbonaation with a heavy body.
O - Bitter and burnt - the nose is nice, but it ends there.

375 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Very thick and dark. Stains the glass. Nice. Not much by way of a head.
Smell - Very nice bourbon. Vanilla. The oak is the best part though. Rich dark chocolate. Slight smoke.
Taste - Less intense on the bourbon. Rich chocolate. Oak is strong. A little too strong. The bottle says spices and I can see that if it's true. Licorice and some red wine notes in the finish.
Mouthfeel - Heavy and rich. Medium low carbonation.
Overall - Complex. Better aroma than taste, but not by much.

375ml waxed and corked bottle bought from an online store. Man, that is one super stubborn cork; it took me a few minutes to finally pull it out.
A- a small pop when the cork got the hell out of Dodge, it pours a pitch black with about an inch of tan foam with good lacing.
S- big roasted malt, bourbon, coffee, a bit of dark fruit.
T- roasted malt and bourbon up front, light coffee, and then it gets very sweet and hot. Every bit of the 11.5% is there! I get hints of dark fruits like raisins & plums from time to time and the bourbon seems to grow with every sip. There is some light bitterness here but the sweet notes dominate.
M- full bodied, light carbonation, the mouthfeel is fine.
O- I reckon some cellaring would calm things down but as is, it's tasty but hot and a very slow drinker. I like it.

Thanks to HuskyinPDX for this miniature bottle. Purple wax, capped & corked for some mysterious reason, 375ML bottle poured in my regal, leftover-found Orval glass.
No pop when the cap comes off, likewise with the cork: all quiet on the RIS front. However, the nose reaches me about the same time the lack of pop does. Which travels faster, sound or smell? Big bourbon notes wash out while I'm pouring, a boozy assault that travels a lot quicker & further than most barrel-aged Russians. Nose is charred chocolate, vanilla, bourbon. Very nice.
Tough Love leads with the nose but goes in a fruitier direction on the tongue. Belying the wonderful nose, this is chock full of rapid-fire fruit - plums or some close relative. Underneath the barrel remains strong, with bourbon & contributing vanilla. Roast sneaks back in the middle along with a rabid alcoholic bite, & my belly temp begins to rise. Finish is strangely sharp, bitter fruitiness; hmph. Very thick, enough to slow my normal glacial drinking pace.
Not sure what to think of this one. It has everything but the World Series ring to prove it belongs with the big boys, but the fruitiness is distracting & detracting. Very good, but on the crux of greatness.

Rye in East Sussex
About Rye
Travelling westward across Romney Marsh, the distinctive outline of Rye can be seen in the distance. It rises above the level green pastures, stretching from the sea to the far hills which formed the shoreline before the marsh was drained.
Once surrounded by sea, this fortified hilltop town played an important role in the defence of the south coast of England. These days, the river no longer harbours warships and is home to the local fishing fleet.
Meandering for over one and a half miles from Rye to the coast, the river forms part of the picturesque scenery visible from several vantage points in and around the citadel of Rye.
St Mary's church tower (usually open to the public) offers the best viewpoint to show the terracotta roofs of the many timbered houses. These ancient buildings, cobbled streets and secret passages, once the haunt of smugglers and highwaymen, regularly attract film crews in search of historical settings for period productions.
Many authors, musicians, artists and celebrities have made Rye their home, a medieval haven periodically visited by Royalty. In 1573 the title "Rye Royale" was bestowed upon the town by Queen Elizabeth I after a three day stay.
The sheer concentration of living history packed into this vibrant market town makes it the ideal base for a holiday of discovery, or a relaxing short break. There are many comfortable, welcoming hotels and guest houses and plenty of charming inns and restaurants.
