The Indian legislation to protect the women from domestic violence is significant in providing a mechanism for enforcing positive civil rights of protection and injunction orders to the victims of domestic violence along with the existing remedies of criminal sanctions. However the Act was brought in the backdrop of an established tradition of cohesive and stable family setting. This, in turn, results in the emergence of new issues and challenges which necessitates deeper understandings of indigenous sociocultural institutions in India i.e., marriage and family. This study is an attempt to analyse the Indian law on domestic violence and to assess whether the law addresses and answers the problems of domestic violence effectively in the culture specific setting of India School of Legal Studies, Cochin University of Science and Technology 2013-08-12T00:00:00Z "Documentary Credit Law : An Indian Perspective" Susmitha, P Mallaya Dr.Varkey, A M http://dyuthi.cusat.ac.in:80/xmlui/handle/purl/3856 2014-06-09T20:30:30Z 2007-09-15T00:00:00Z "Documentary Credit Law : An Indian Perspective" Susmitha, P Mallaya; Dr.Varkey, A M This is a study in international trade law. Documentary credits are the most common method of payment for goods in international trade. In India also these instruments are used both in national and international trade. The law governing these transactions remains haphazard. This study identifies the deficiencies in the regulatory framework for documentary credits in India. It primarily focuses on those areas which exhibits a lack of equality and justice in its operation. An attempt has also been made to identify the rights and duties of parties involved in the transaction. The reasons for the increase of fraudulent activities associated with the documents executed in the documentary credit transactions are also examined. How far the law in India is sufficient to ensure fair business practice in international trade financing is also examined. Methodology adopted for the study is analytical. The statutory provisions, rules and case laws under these provisions have been examined. An empirical study by personal interview with the bankers is also made to ascertain the practice of bankers in India.

Today, there is an increasing recognition and commitment to the pursuit of health both within government and beyond. Any attempt on the part of the " State to protect and promote people's health, in turn, must be accompanied by effective controls on air quality, as air constitutes ' one of the important elements of man's life and the consequences of air pollution covers a very wide spectrum ranging from material ---damage to personal discomfort and illness. The broad social and economic objectives adumbrated in the Directive Principles of State Policy including the commitment to improve public health underlying in Article 47 and the obligation to preserve and protect-the natural environment cast under Article 48A of the Constitution are being used as versatile weapons by the State to regulate the public health scenario. Preservation and maintenance of air quality is a significant area within the sphere of public health, where the regulatory arm of the law is not adequately touched and in this arena urgent State intervention through legislative and administrative action is called for in the well-being of the society. Judiciary also plays a pivotal role in this arena in the larger interest of the society and for the benefit of the present and future generations. The research study is an attempt to analyze how far the existing legal system, for maintaining air quality and in controlling air pollution, is effective in protecting public health. The study also analyzes the limitations of the control mechanisms. The study focuses on industrial air pollution, indoor and personal air pollution, vehicular pollution and noise pollution which are today appearing as the major public health hazards affecting the air quality.

About Arthroscopic Surgery
This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.
What is Arthroscopic Surgery?
Arthroscopic surgery is a surgical procedure in which an arthroscope and other surgical instruments are inserted through tiny incisions in the skin to examine and treat the interior formation of a joint for various problems.
The arthroscope is an endoscopic device with a camera attached to it, which enables the orthopedic surgeon to view the internal structures. The arthroscope is of various sizes and a joint is examined with an arthroscope that is suited to its size.
The different types of arthroscopic surgeries are:
Knee Arthroscopy
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Hip Arthroscopy
Ankle Arthroscopy
Elbow Arthroscopy
Wrist Arthroscopy
Spinal Arthroscopy
How is Arthroscopic Surgery Performed?
A small incision is made on the side of the joint that needs to be treated through which the arthroscope is inserted.
Other tiny incisions are made through which surgical instruments are inserted.
These instruments are used to cut, remove and stitch injured tissues.
After the surgery is completed, the arthroscope is withdrawn and the incision is closed with sutures.
A dressing is used to cover the incision area and a brace may be used to wrap around the joint.
How to Prepare for Arthroscopic Surgery?
The patient is physically examined before the surgery.
The patient is required to do some blood and urine tests.
The doctor should be informed about any medication that the patient may be taking.
Certain medication that the patient has been taking may be stopped two weeks before the surgery.
The doctor should be informed about any medical conditions or ailments of the patient.
The doctor should be informed if the patient has been drinking more than one or two drinks of alcohol in a day.
The patient should stop smoking some weeks prior to the surgery to recover quickly.
Days admitted:
Arthroscopic surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure.
The type of anesthesia is chosen depending on the joint that is being treated and the health of the patient.
- The patient is taken to a recovery room until the patient comes out of the effects of anesthesia.
- Pain medication may be given to the patient.
- The surgical incisions are small and heal quickly.
- The patient is required to rest for several days after the surgery and keep the joint elevated.
- Ice packs may be applied to minimize swelling and pain.
- The patient is required to undergo an exercise program that helps in strengthening the patient's muscles. This also prevents contracture of the surrounding tissues.
The risks that may occur in arthroscopic surgery are rare. They include the following:
- Infection
- Severe bleeding
- Swelling
- Blood clotting
- Injury to nerve and blood vessels
- Breakage of surgical instruments during the surgery
After care:
- The incision area should be kept clean and dry.
- The surgeon or nurse will remove the surgical bandages.
- The doctor's instructions should be followed carefully.
- The patient may be required to undergo physical therapy.
Any signs of infection should be reported to the doctor. These include:
- Severe joint pain
- Swelling
- Redness
- Bleeding
- Warmth

Beyond: Two Souls To Focus On "Meaning", Not "Fun", Says David Cage
Posted on Monday, July 30 @ 13:38:04 Eastern by Nicholas Tan
Speaking with Edge magazine, Quantic Dream's David Cage explained his design philosophy for Beyond: Two Souls, emphasizing that emotion, not fun, is his main priority:
It would probably won't surprise you, but I don't particularly care for fun either, particularly as a word because I believe there are numerous ways that video games can be entertaining without the narrow definition of "fun". This doesn't mean "fun" isn't a worthy goal for video games, since creating a fun game somehow still alludes many developers this generation. It's that for a full $60 title, we expect more than just a fun title to pass the time.
Creating an emotional title, at least, is a challenging goal and I hope David Cage is able to transfer the lesson he learned on Heavy Rain to Beyond: Two Souls. Particularly the one where everything doesn't need to be covered in heavy-handed melodrama to be dramatic.

Chris Brown returns to Twitter
8:06am Tuesday 4th December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Chris Brown has returned to Twitter, days after abandoning the site.
The RnB star deleted his account late last month after a vulgar online exchange with comedian Jenny Johnson, but he has now reactivated it.
The star has yet to write a new tweet, although he has posted a picture on his Instagram which has fuelled rumours that he is back with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, who he split from in 2009 after he admitted assaulting her.
The pair are thought to have grown close again and the new snap shows Chris sitting smoking a cigarette while Rihanna lounges nearby in what appears to be a duvet. The caption reads: "What would music today sound like if these kids didn't exist?"
Chris deleted his Twitter account over a week ago following the feud with Jenny..
The fight started when the 23-year-old posted a picture of himself, saying he looked old. Jenny replied: "I know! Being a worthless piece of (expletive) can really age a person."
Chris fired back with a series of crude sexual jokes and Jenny posted a link to a news story about his assault on Rihanna.
Before deleting his account, Chris wrote: "Just ask Rihanna if she mad??????"

ThorgalA column article by: Penny Kenny
Continuing our discussion of graphic novels that might appeal to readers who enjoy the combination of art and text, but who are uninterested in either superhero or alternative comics.
Why must my life be constantly crossed with suffering and death, when all I want is peace and love with those who are dear to me?...Why?...Why?
The answer the eponymous hero of Jean Van Hamme and Grzegorz Rosinski's Thorgalreceives to his question might not comfort him, but it certainly promises readers a thumping good read:
You don't belong to this world's destiny, Child of the Stars!...And the gods are irritated…But the gods love you too, for your heart is full of all the generous force this world needs. And so your destiny will lead you into the many crossroads of good and evil without respite.
Thorgal is an "everything but the kitchen sink" concept in that it combines elements of science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction. Van Hamme builds on the "Chariots of the Gods" idea to create a story that spans the globe and time. Marauders, time travel, crazed space farers, flirtatious goddesses, and pirates. It's all fair game. Yet this is also the very intimate story of a man and his family.
Raised from infancy in a Viking community, Thorgal is actually the off-spring of stranded space farers. Though intelligent, skilled, and compassionate, Thorgal's birthright doesn't make him a god among men. He is too unassuming for that. His heritage and destiny do, however, ensure that he'll forever be encountering strange mysteries and adventures. Seemingly set sometime between the 8th and 11th centuries, Thorgal travels through Europe and even makes his way to Central America. He meets thieves, cut-throats, tyrants, wizards, gods, lost souls, madmen, and beautiful women.
The only woman Thorgal's interested in, however, is his beloved wife Aaricia.
I'll admit it took me several volumes to warm up to this woman. Though Aaricia's high-spirited, head-strong nature makes a good contrast to the more contemplative Thorgal, I found her quick temper and almost fool-hardy determination (see: Volume 3: Beyond the Shadows when she thwarts her own rescue and fails to trust her husband) off-putting. It wasn't until Volume 8: Wolf Cub that she finally won me over.
In this chapter, the very pregnant Aaricia is attacked by her husband's enemies. While escaping, she falls into a gully, which triggers premature labor. To save herself and her unborn child, she crawls into a wolf den to hide and gives birth to a daughter next to a wolf that is also in labor. That's a heroine for you.
Their daughter is not Thorgal and Aaricia's only child. They have an older son, Jolan.
Unlike his father, Jolan possesses the mental abilities of his star traveling ancestors. The gift of telekinesis and the ability to shape matter don't turn Jolan into a medieval superhero, however. Rather, they cause more trouble than not. In Volume 4:The Archers Jolan brings a very creepy, very dangerous, imaginary friend to life.
In Volume 6:City of the Lost God, he becomes a pawn in not one, but two power plays. This volume really showcases Van Hamme's ability to portray a multi-faceted character. Jolan is an unlikable, spoiled brat here. He's being treated like a king and likes it. He nearly gets his parents killed as they're trying to rescue him. Fortunately Thorgal knows how to apply a hand to a backside to get his point across. At other moments, Jolan is a frightened little boy, confused by what's happening to him and wanting his parents. A page later, he's confidently using his gifts to shift the tide of power. It's a fascinating portrait of a unique, yet believable, child.
Thorgal, Aaricia, and Jolan form the core cast of the series. (Well, they did until a rather significant event in Volume 9:The Guardian of the Keys. After that, things change.) But there are other characters that weave their way in and out of the series. One of the most forceful is Kriss of Valnor,
a beautiful, deadly woman who is just as willing to kill Thorgal as use him for her own purposes. She first appears in Volume 4:The Archers, then returns in Volumes 5:The Land of Qa and 6:City of the Lost God before disappearing. In Volume 10:The Sun Sword, Cinebook's latest Thorgal release, she once again reappears to make trouble for Thorgal.
Despite Thorgal's fantastic adventures, there's plausibility to the stories. There's a two-fold reason for this. The first has to do with the writing, the second, the art. On the writing front, Van Hamme is in full control of his material. He doesn't let his ideas run away with the story. Each chapter has a conflict and satisfying resolution that illuminates some aspect of the characters' mental and/or emotional lives. Whether Thorgal is caught in the midst of a love triangle complicated by time travel (Volume 7:The Master of the Mountains), crossing the land of the dead in a version of the Orpheus legend (Volume 3:Beyond the Shadows), or just dealing with garden variety usurpers (Volume 10:The Sun Sword), the characters are believably human, driven by human desires.
Rosinski's art is the series' other anchor. It's beautiful. There doesn't seem to be anything he can't draw. The snowscapes of The Master of the Mountainsare just as stunning as the desert city found in "The Eyes of Tanatloc" chapter of Volume 5. While fantastic, the flying ships of The Land of Qa are rendered in a way as to be believable. They look little different from the sea-faring vessels of the same period, which increases the suspension of disbelief. The characters come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and ages. They look realistic without being drawn in a photo-realistic way.
Like N.C. Wyeth, Hal Foster, and Mark Schultz, Rosinski excels at capturing a moment out of time. He keeps his distance from the material, eschewing tight close-ups on violent acts and their results. His panels are filled with detail, without being cluttered.
Thorgal has been a publishing phenomena in Europe since its first appearance in 1977. Though a couple volumes had appeared in English translation before Cinebook obtained the rights, the series didn't seem to make much of an impression on American comic book readers. However, this fantastic mesh of genres with its solid plots, engaging cast, and beautiful art is something that shouldn't be missed by fans of fantasy, historical fiction, and science fiction.

The rumors are partially true. Like the person Carly Simon sings about in "You're So Vain," Madonna's where she should be all the time (though when she's not, she probably isn't with a spy or the wife of a close friend, but then again, you never know), and when you have a new (mostly) dance CD out, you go to Miami during Winter Music Conference. Madonna doesn't have to leave her house to sell records, but ever the savvy icon, she will indeed be at a major Miami Music Week event, but it's not the one everyone thinks it is, not the "official" MDNA release party tonight at the Delano. Nope. Madonna's been there, done that. And she won't do it tonight. What she will do is stop by somewhere major, somewhere sold out tomorrow night to spin the record and get the crowd hyped up. Says Miami Herald music writer Howard Cohen, "Tony Orlando at the Alper JCC! She'll tie a yellow ribbon around Dawn and take over the harmonies." We wish. Scalpers, you're about to make a mint and Madonna, well, you're Madonna. Enough said and welcome back. We've missed you.

Nice! And, as expected, everyone in Miami will claim to have hung out with her.
I think that a lot of the celebrities that used to call Miami home should step back in to lift the spirit of the place. http://tarotworldtour.wordpress.com/
Madonna is still the shit!!!! Love her to pieces!!!!
Wow! Fun, fun, fun! If your really looking for a sure hit fun then, you should come to her concert. Madonna is an amazing and very energetic performer.

The Pebble Partnership plans to spend $80 million this year on advancing its proposed mine in Alaska's Bristol Bay.
The proposed Pebble Mine, 200 miles southwest of Anchorage, is estimated to hold 81 billion pounds of copper, 107 million ounces of gold and 5 billion pounds of molybdenum, and is said to be one of the largest such deposits in the world. However, the location of the proposed massive open-pit mine — near the breeding grounds of the fertile Bristol Bay salmon fishery — has led to intense scrutiny by opponents of the mine who say it would damage salmon streams that are important both commercially and culturally to the region.
The Pebble Partnership is 50-50 venture between global mining companies Anglo American and Northern Dynasty. Last year, the Pebble Partnership spent $107 million on preparing the permit application for the proposed mine. To date, the partnership has spent $680 million steering the project toward development.
The $80 million spent this year will come from Anglo American, due to the way the joint venture is structured, said Mike Heatwole, Pebble Partnership spokesperson. This year's funds will be spent with the goal of developing an overall project description and toward initiating the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) permit process.
NEPA permitting represents "the very beginning" of a years-long quest to collect more than 60 permits and approvals from various federal and state agencies, all required before the mine can proceed, Heatwole said.

Twas the night after game 1 and all Rumblers are mad,
We lost to the jets, so many points we could have had.
The offseason was nice, some big names were paid,
Yet we show up as amateurs, so Rex Ryan had a raid.
Fitz threw the picks, they were early and plenty,
A beer healed the first pick, the next 2 needed twenty...
FredEx goes down, again it's his knee,
Shall the NFL review and fine...LaRon Landry?
A season come and gone for the undrafted Texas native,
A torn acl for last name: Nelson, first name: David.
So what good can we find in this shock of a loss?
Cordy Glenn played like a vet, he can truly be a boss.
The #9 overall pick finally coming into his own,
We do not need a Tashard Choice, we need a CJ Spiller clone.
We need a sure handed receiver, we need not a big headed catapult.
Do us a favor CHIX and bring back Namaan Roosevelt!!!
Who else can replace Nelson? Not a Tasker..or a Parish.
Rumblers it's only 1 game, we have 15 more to cherish.
To us, the Bills play in our hearts, to others--they just play games.
On to week 2 and the home opener, our blood racing through our veins!

If you are writing a plan to ensure that your students will be successful, you will want to make sure that your goals are based on the student's past performance and that they are stated positively. Goals/statements must be relevant to the student's needs. Start slowly, choosing only a couple of behaviors at a time to change. Be sure to involve the student, this enables him/her to take responsibility and be accountable for his/her own modifications. Be sure to provide some time to enable the student to track and or graph his/her successes.
To Develop Skills to Support and Improve Comprehension of Written Material
Provide engaging and motivating materials to retain the student's interest. Be specific by naming the series, resources or books to be used.
Highlight and underline key words and ideas and ensure the student refers to them.
Teach the student about sentence and paragraph construction and how to focus on key points. Again, be very specific so that the goal is measurable.
Provide information and clarification about how a text or resource is organized. The child should know the features of a text including the cover, the index, subtitles, bold titles, balloon texts etc.
Provide ample opportunities for the child to discuss written information.
Develop re-telling skills with lots of monitoring and focus on the beginning, middle and ending key points.
Develop research skills and strategies.
Provide opportunities for group learning especially to respond to written information.
Show how pictorial and context clues are used.
Encourage the student to ask for clarification he/she become confused.
Provide 1 to 1 support frequently.
Write goals that can be measured, be specific as to the duration or the circumstance under which the goal will be implemented and use specific time slots when possible. Remember, once the IEP is written, it is imperative that the student is taught the goals and fully understands what the expectations are. Provide him/her with tracking devices, students need to be accountable for their own changes.

(01/17/14) - Friday afternoon, 29 year-old DeMarcus Allen was formally charged with first degree murder and child abuse after the death of 14-month-old Ramon Vasquez.
Investigators say the little boy died after an incident last week. If convicted on the charges brought against him, Allen faces life in prison.
Standing in front of Saginaw County District Judge Terry Clark, Allen listened to the charges and the penalties he could face. Details about how Ramon died were not revealed in court, but Judge Clark did mention the boy's injuries were intentional. It happened Jan. 8 at a home on Green street in Saginaw. Allen told the court it was his girlfriend's house, he had been staying with her at the time. Little Ramon died two days later on Jan. 10.
Allen was jailed on probation violation and drug possession charges while investigators gathered evidence in the boy's death. He's scheduled to be back in court on Jan. 29.

Lufthansa eyes expansion in western India
K.V. Kurmanath
Hyderabad , Sept. 4
After opening the eastern sector in December by adding Kolkata on its map, Lufthansa will probably focus on the western India to add capacity or expand to other locations in that region.
Besides, the German airline is also exploring setting up maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in India.
Mr Werner Heesen, Director (South Asia) of Lufthansa, said that the airline was looking at areas that were not served properly.
"Western India is one of the areas. We would like to add more capacity in that part of India," he said.
Mr Heesen was here to take part in the 55th edition of Travel Agents Association of India's (TAAI) convention.
He said Indian operations contributed 21 per cent of its Asia-Pacific revenues.
Asked whether under-pricing was hurting the industry, he felt that it was the question of yield mix that one should look at.
"If you are only focussing on low-yield segment and lowest fare, then it will hit you," he pointed out.
It was not Lufthansa's policy. "Our policy is to serve the upper end of the market," he said.
Long-term outlook
Asked about infrastructure constraints, he said increases in the aviation sector on yearly basis were dramatic as India's share in the global aviation sector was as low as 0.1 per cent.
But the Civil Aviation Ministry had understood the needs and it took the right decisions.
"In the long term, we have a solution. But for the mid term, the country needed to struggle with the existing facilities," he said.

Assessing the threat of one of the more ignored opponents this year.
The Cleveland Browns always seem to be playing for the draft, but these two 2nd year DB's, Joe Haden and TJ Ward, are well worth the trouble. Haden may not be active for Sunday.
Football is one of the few events that clear the streets in Cleveland, Ohio. The other two sports teams here, the Cavaliers and Indians, have nice followings, but not the same fanatic legion as the Browns. Growing up I was also a huge gridiron freak, but never for the Browns. I was captivated by the Cowboys when I was seven and Jimmy Johnson was building a dynasty, and at the age of ten the newspapers were saturated with panicked reports that the Browns were moving out of town. In 1999 the NFL made the Browns the first franchise to be reconstituted during the Super Bowl era (the Baltimore Colts were revived in 1953 after folding three years earlier), but they have since then been one of the most consistently lackluster teams in pro sports.
On Thursday Dallas hosts the bane of our existence, the Washington Redskins. But before that they must maintain the momentum gained in Philadelphia by defending the home turf from the Browns. For me personally this is a crucial battle against the local Cowboy haters. My weekly suffering watching the Browns at the gym (they don't put any of the other teams on anyway) gives me some good perspective on what makes them tick.
Offense: Rookie triumvirate
Three of the eleven Cleveland Browns drafted in 2012: (L/R) RB Trent Richardson, QB Brandon Weeden, and WR Travis Benjamin.
The Cleveland Browns offense has in years past seemed like a creature of mythology, as since 2009 they have gone through the following quarterbacks: Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson, Jake Delhomme, Colt McCoy, and now 29 year-old rookie Brandon Weeden. They suffered major disappointment last season when their top star, Madden 2011 cover man Peyton Hillis, had a contract holdout and then had a controversial injury filled 2011 that led to his departure for Kansas City. Their roster is dominated by rookies and Year 2 players, which is consistent for a team whose biggest off-season free agent acquisition was defensive lineman Frostee Rucker from the Bengals.
Top that off with a second-year coach, Pat Shurmur, and a brand new owner, Jimmy Haslam, and it's impossible to deny that the Browns ARE changing.
Strengths: The offense is anchored by Weeden and fellow rookies Trent Richardson at running back and Josh Gordon at wide out. When they're good, which means when Richardson has been healthy, the Browns offense moves and pushes the line of scrimmage. Weeden faced a quarterback controversy during the Browns' 0-5 start; it seems that he isn't in danger of losing his job in the near future, but back-up Colt McCoy still has many of his own partisans here.
Weaknesses: Weeden may be a mature rookie, but he's still a rookie, and so are no less than six fellow members of the Cleveland offense. This has induced many penalties (though far behind Dallas' total), especially offensive line infractions such as false starts. Shurmur has been driven up a tree this season when forced to call timeouts when the playclock is running, so after their bye week it'll be interesting to see how much progress he made in that respect. Clock management at the end of games has been poor, as the Browns haven't been able to generate come from behind victories in recent close games with Indianapolis and Baltimore. Several Browns players, such as WR Grady Little and Fullback Owen Marecic, are serial pass droppers.
The Dagger: Beating the Browns offense is easier said than done: Stifle the run and cause 3rd and longs. Good luck against the T-Rich's battering ram runs. oBrandon Weeden is an excellent pocket passer, but he's thrown 12 interceptions and has three fumbles, none lost. He has only suffered 14 sacks, so the Cowboys will definitely have a battle at the line of scrimmage in order to pressure him. Rob Ryan has stated that he has a personal interest in the game against his former team, so expect lots of blitzing.
Defense: The Young Guard
Nothing unproven here. Veteran Linebacker D'Qwell Jackson has shown he can be a champion. Can his team play up to his standards?
The player featured above is the exception to the rule, because most of the players on Rob Ryan's Cleveland defense two years ago are gone. Cleveland's defense is somewhat on a par with Dallas' in terms of points per game, with 23.4 compared to 22.7, but they are near the bottom of the league in yardage allowed.
Strengths: The leading names in the defense don't usually include such players as Usama Young, D'Qwell Jackson, Joe Haden, and TJ Ward, but it's not for lack of trying. This squad never plays like victims, only victimizers. CBs Haden and Sheldon Brown have both speed and physicality, as does SS Ward who is Haden's best buddy both on and off the field.
Weaknesses: The Browns D doesn't have any scrubs, even with three rookie linebackers and two rookie linemen. So why do they still lose games? The Browns tend to give their opponents enough slack to escape with a win. They far outperformed the Colts defense in Indianapolis, yet still failed to keep Andrew Luck & Co. from squeaking by.
The Dagger: Jason Garrett and Dallas OC Bill Callahan might have one piece of good information going into tomorrow: Joe Haden has an oblique injury and may not be able to start. The Browns gave up ten passing TD's during Haden's early season suspension, and only four since then. Romo cannot linger in the pocket and must throw quickly in order to avoid D'Qwell Jackson, Jabal Sheard, Juqua Parker, etc.
Josh Cribbs hasn't had any breathtaking TDs this year. But he does give them an edge in field position, both on returns and when punting or kicking.
Strengths: Phil Dawson may be the only kicker in the NFL to be the most popular player on his team, and has a perfect field goal percentage. Josh Cribbs has the Browns in 3rd on kick returns and 2nd on punt returns, proving he remains a potent threat.
The Browns actually don't have such a good punt return defense, ranking second from the bottom behind Buffalo.
The Dagger: The Browns special teams has few flaws. Dallas has the best punt coverage in the league. They're gonna need it against Cribbs. The Cowboys can really box in Cleveland by keeping the out of field goal range.
Step Up Guys
Mackenzy Berndardeau and Tyron Smith, it's gonna be rough out there against the Browns rush.
Felix Jones and Lawrence Vickers, creating short yardage downs could mean the difference. Vickers has already stated that, like Ryan, he is intent on showing up his old team.
Dan Connor can be a game changer if he succeeds in hurrying Weeden. Also Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne are looking to force turnovers against the turnover prone rookie QB.
Around the League
Nick Foles has the playmakers needed to beat a disintegrating Washington defense, while Robert Griffin III is favoured to get his first divisional victory against the Eagles despite their own solid defense. . . With a victory at home against the ailing Chargers, John Fox, Peyton Manning, and Champ Bailey can virtually shut the door on the rest of the AFC West. . . The Ravens are once again at an advantage over the Steelers after the Roethlisberger concussion . . . So are the Bears after Alex Smith (49ers) went down last week. Jason Campbell has what it takes to fill in for Cutler. Can we say the same about Colin Kaepernick.

The famous Christmas song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer started life as a poem created by an American advertising executive called Robert May. He was requested to produce a poem that could be given away to children by the Santa Claus employed by Department Stores at Christmas!

Working as an Advertising Executive Robert May had a natural flair with words and was able to compose the Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer poem which was specifically designed to appeal to children. It was commissioned by the Montgomery Ward department store who up to this time purchased third party colouring books to give away at Christmas, this idea was conceived as a cheaper "in-house" option!
This brilliant marketing ploy proved to be a massive success and approximately 2.5 million printed copies of the "Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer" poems were given away in the first year of its publication!
In 1949 the singer Gene Autry recorded a musical version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with music composed by Johnny Marks. The recording sold 2.5 million copies during the Christmas week in 1949 and became number one in the music charts.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer : LyricsRudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows.All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say: "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history!Video of the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Story

After seven years in business, nGen's original brand didn't accurately represent us anymore. A new team with a new focus needed a new look.
After months of brainstorming, many sketches, long nights, and even longer Basecamp threads, we got there. We now have a system of marks, typefaces, layouts, colors and design elements that support our brand and communicate our value to our clients — experience, imagination and reliability.
I was drawn to the quiet confidence of an entirely typographic identity, which freed me to concentrate on the letter spacing, grid and proportions.
Taking inspiration from newspaper headline typography made the typeface selection fairly straightforward. Mercury, a contemporary serif with sharp corners and tight curves, felt like the perfect place to start. By refining the serifs to face forward and exaggerating the ears of the "g" and "r," the typography itself became our identity.
Crafting a monogram to complement the wordmark felt right from the beginning. I chose to lower the "W" for greater legibility and emphasize the diagonal strokes to unify the two letter-forms.
As a small act of rebellion, I intentionally created flat graphics with vibrant colors to stand out in a market oversaturated with gradients.
I combined the crispness of Mercury with the toughness of Tungsten, a style mix that works because both evoke a classic Americana vibe. Together, they're vibrant, strong and hardworking.
Graphic elements were inspired by vintage infographics. They provide a visual context for our simple messages and are part of the voice of the entire site.
My goal was to represent nGen Works as it is today, while staying true to the boldness of its past and its promise for the future.

Share your experience City Hotels
Hotel Amic Horizonte ***
"Did not disappoint"Spent 2 nights in week before Christmas. Nice to see Palma celebrating the season (more class, less tat than UK). Booked junior suite for the views. Did not disappoint as from our balcony could view the complete Bay of Palma including the marinas, port and in the distance, aircraft into the airport. The room was large, warm, huge bed, desk and fridge with big built in wardrobe, and balcony with table and chairs. The bathroom again was super sized with double basin vanity unit and three-corner jacuzzi bath. It was clean to a high standard throughout the building. Breakfast was buffet style with a very large choice of hot and cold food, with nice views from the dining area. Mentioned it was my birthday on check-in, came back from Palma city centre to find a birthday greeting message from the hotel with a large plate of freshly prepared fruit. This to me indicates a management and staff who care for their clients. Would stay again and recommend that you do to.

I bit of a learning curve, but if you suffer from EXTREME dry eyes then it's a life changer. (mine due to sjogren's syndrome...check with your dr. to see if you might also have it. Autoimmune disorder causing dry eyes, mouth, vagina, etc.) This was a miracle for me and now i feel like a normal person. If I could go to work for the company selling it, i would!

Like most dry eye medications I've used (like Restasis), I've just added Lacriserts to a long list of medications that SIMPLY DON'T WORK. Sticking these things into your eyes is easy if you don't use the ridiculous "insertion device" they supply with them... I used used my clean fingers to drop them in. No, the problem is, they weren't effective at all in alleviati ... Show Full Comment

I have sjorgens and I don't know what I would do without lacriserts. They are the only things that work. I am able to live a normal life with them. I have had my ducts plugged and even my own blood drawn to make a serum to put back in my eyes. Nothing works except lacriserts. I am so thankful for them.

I haven't posted on AN in several years. (It's been so long I had to make a new account because I couldn't remember any of my account information. Getting old sucks kids! Don't grow older!!) I figured posting here would be worth a shot, seeing as I have no other way to contact a large base of A's fans.
I make the trek every year to KC to see our boys play. I just moved back to Arkansas, so KC is the closest I get to seeing them every year. We use to have meet-ups there and tailgate and stuff before games. Over the years we all got older, had kids, etc and it thinned out, then stopped all together.
I thought it'd be nice to see if I could find some people that will be there. Also, the first game is on July 5th, which is a Friday. I thought it'd be awesome to have a Midwest edition of Bacon Friday. These are lofty goals on such short notice, but I guess it never hurts to throw it all out there.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Two distinctive Louisville brands, one old and one new, are partnering up for a one of the kind craft beer and wine destination.
Old 502 Winery and Falls City Brewing Company are merging.
You may remember Riverbend Winery. The restaurant and winery was located at 120 South 10th Street for nearly 10 years before it was re-branded as Old 502 Winery about two years ago. Since then the owners were strictly focusing on wine making and now they are making room for a new beverage and partner.
"It's distinctly Louisville," said Director of Sales Chris Casconi. "The way we figured Falls City, is one of Louisville's oldest recognizable brands. Old 502 is one of Louisville's newest recognizable brands and we thought merging the two together would just be a great fit."
Falls City will move from their current location on Barret Avenue to the more than 3,500 square foot complex where both the wine and beer will be produced.
"What we try to do down here is draw tourists in from all over the region and give them one more place to go while they are enjoying all the great things to do in Louisville," said Casconi.
In the tasting room guests will be able to choose from any of the nine locally made wines or four different craft beers.
"It's actually the first that we know of in Kentucky and even the region," said Casconi.
Next door at E&S Art Gallery and Custom Framing, Cathy Shannon has been showcasing African American fine Art for more than a decade.
"From 2003 until this year, we've seen a lot of transformation in the area and we are looking forward to additional development because it is a good location," said Shannon.
She's pleased to see the expansion happening on 10th Street. "I am looking forward to the day when people don't get to 8th street and turn around and think there is nothing farther," said Shannon.
Casconi agrees hoping to make 10th street a spot to stop.
"I think our goal for both the winery and the brewery is to create a regional destination," said Casconi.
Old 502 and Falls City will be investing $1 million into this renovation project. Both brands plan to expand their sales force.

First Glasgow meeting was held at the Free Hetherington – occupied building closed by Glasgow University last year and reopened as a focus for resistance to the brutal cuts planned for the university but also for discussion, debate, arts events and collective development. Here are some notes from the meeting – discussion and comments welcome:
Opening presentation Penny A World to Win:
People's Assemblies can unite struggles against cuts and closures, support occupations and struggles against evictions whilst at the same time looking and planning forward beyond protests.
They offer an opportunity to complete the struggles of the past – from the Chartists, Suffragettes, Levellers – for democracy. And they are connected to the future because they do not simply look to the state – local government, central government – to meet demands. Rather they plan to find ways to replace the state with a new democratic way of living, being political, and in particular running the economy with a view to sustaining people's lives and the life of the whole eco-system.
Reporting back from three smaller groups:
Group 1
1. What would be the structure of the assembly?
Problems of parliament:
Could arise in people's assemblies too
These have been prefigured at the Hetherington (women's group, kitchen caucus, etc)
2. Can a new assembly be representative?
How to ensure non-participant / resistant groups are represented?
Where does the right to enforce decisions come from, without full representation?
3. How to protect the individual's right to come before the assembly as an individual?
4. What type of democracy/what type of vote? Experience of the occupation (where both are used): majority vote is the easy option; consensus is tiring.
5. How and where does a people's assembly form? Should it be spontaneous?
6. What kind of 'representation' is sought? Individual, class, [interest group], party.
Group 2
Challenge of modelling a new vision:
Wisdom circles
-> extremes brought together
-> how to hold these opposites
Penny points to historical changes. Previously, individual not taken into account enough of the left – then a new period where the individual was all – we need to find a way of acting collectively while protecting the individual.
Concensus is problematic – it's not necessary always to come to a consensus; it's all right in fact to disagree forever whilst still finding a way to forward.
For the long term, what should a new democracy look like? There is a need for a [new] communal ethic.
Socialising together, working in small groups, sharing food, sharing knowledge.
Important not only to bring opinions but to listen deeply.
Use technology: web, films.
Intrinsic vs extrinsic identities.
Group 3
1. How to reconcile the (necessarily?) fragmentary nature of self-organised groups with the notion of an assembly?
2. Is this the right time? Start setting up assemblies now, or wait for a revolutionary moment?
3. How is the people's assembly conceived as a real alternative to parliamentary democracy?
4. What is the involvement (/investment) of A World to Win in this movement?
5. The Assembly idea seems to have two potentials: as a larger network of support & cooperation, but also as a laboratory for new shapes and modes of democracy. Exciting to bring these together.
Responses to group 2:
> Is this the right time?
Eastern proverb: When's the best time to plant an apple tree? 20 yrs ago. Second best time? Now.
Work begun now (a) might bring about change in itself; (b) might be handy to have lying around later.
Egypt gives an example: organising during and post-revolution; we have the opportunity to organise legally now.
> Involvement of AWtW?
Penny: The Assemblies movement is wider than AWtW.
Tom C: what is the structure of AWtW?
Penny: Groups around particular interests (eg environment) > and send reps who form a steering group – non-hierarchical flat structure. AWtW is interested in looking at democracy. Looks at how to utilise people's skills.
Tom C: Risk of vanguardism – entryist tactics.
Radicalisation of populations often followed by organised groups bringing in pre-formed analyses which can turn off the newly radicalised (eg students).
Moving forward:
Penny: Post these questions on the People's Assembly website.
Liam/Florrie: Google documents: expand these questions we've raised, open up discussions.
Tom C: These sorts of groups (/assemblies) are forming already under other names: GAEC, RTC etc
Keith: Ad hoc groups forming to a purpose and rapidly disbanding: could this in fact be a good structure?
Hope to move not just post-capitalism but also post-scarcity.
Space as a commodity.
Penny: Important to include eco-system in the issue of scarcity.
