Where's the @NRA today? Oh that's right, Wash Naval Yard is a heavily secure place so doesn't fit their agenda. #silenceofthecowards—
Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 16, 2013
CNN's Piers Morgan never bothers to wait until all the facts are known before jumping back on the "gun control" bandwagon following horrible crimes such as we saw today at the Washington Navy Yard.
Morgan didn't go unchallenged:
And how exactly is the @NRA relevant to what happened today. Please explain @piersmorgan stop dragging their name through the mud—
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) September 16, 2013
Another point:
@piersmorgan @NRA the site of today's shooting was a GUN FREE ZONE, and yet again it did not work!—
Ben Ferguson Show (@benfergusonshow) September 16, 2013
Yes, isn't it strange that somebody of the mindset to commit first degree murder doesn't heed the "no guns allowed" signs?
@piersmorgan Ask yourself first how it is possible that a U.S. military facility could get shot up! #Gravedancer @NRA—
Josh Peterson (@jdpeterson) September 16, 2013
Morgan might not be introspective enough to reconsider any of his positions, given the fact that this shooting (and many others for that matter) took place in an area that has in place precisely the same kinds of regulations that Musket has been calling for: A gun free zone inside of a city with very tight gun laws.
Again a reality check: Washington D.C. and the Naval Yard are gun free zones, but keep ranting on a false argument @piersmorgan—
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) September 16, 2013
At that point, Morgan asked for more gun laws without citing exactly what would have prevented this tragedy:
I'm absolutely sick of these endless bloody mass shootings in America. You promised action after Sandy Hook @BarackObama – where is it?—
Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 16, 2013
Please state what new gun regulation would have prevented today, considering DC & the Naval yard are gun free zones @piersmorgan—
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) September 16, 2013
Previously, Morgan promoted his fantasy-land statistics:
It is an undeniable fact that mass shootings in America have surged since 2007. Gun lobbyists who deny this are cynical liars.—
Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 16, 2013
But Musket was presented with evidence to the contrary that he'll no doubt choose to completely ignore:
Do you think the Washington Post is a "cynical liar" or part of the "gun lobby"? @piersmorgan –> ow.ly/oVqOL—
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) September 16, 2013
I debunked the poll @piersmorgan is trying to cite months ago: danaloeschradio.com/obama-pushes-d… #UndeniableFact—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) September 16, 2013
Facts like mass shootings decreasing & Navy Yard being gun-free zone don't matter to "newsman" @PiersMorgan. He's @CNN's top low-rated liar.—
John Nolte (@NolteNC) September 16, 2013
Now here's a suggestion that might have an impact:
.@piersmorgan Given that Chris Dorner was a fan of yours, canceling your show would be a good 1st step in preventing future gun violence.—
AG (@AG_Conservative) September 16, 2013
We'll give actor Adam Baldwin the closing word on Musket Morgan:
RT @piersmorgan "What will it take to change America's gun culture?" ~ It would take a tyranny of the minority, foreigner.—
Adam Baldwin (@AdamBaldwin) September 16, 2013

Skin Fantasy Poker Team member Theo Tran is affectionately known as "Pittrounder." He was given the nickname for consistently cleaning at up poker games while he attended the University of Pittsburgh. Tran officially graduated with a bachelor's degree in communications and psychology, but if you ask him, he received an unofficial major in hold'em and minor in Chinese poker.
Tran was born on Nov. 4, 1981 and learned to play poker at the age of 13. Poker became a serious part of his life at 20, but did not deter him from graduating college. After college, however, Tran knew that a nine-to-five job was not something he was ready for at the moment. He decided to take a gamble and move to Las Vegas with only $3,000 to his name. His gamble paid off.
He started with small-stakes cash games. Tran eventually built up a bankroll and started playing tournaments. Having never made a major tournament cash before, Tran really hit the ground running at the 2006 L.A. Poker Classic. Tran won a no-limit preliminary event for nearly $133,000. With a few cashes in between, including three at the World Series of Poker, Tran went back to the L.A. Poker Classic the next year. Coincidentally, he won the exact same event for a second year in a row, giving another healthy boost to his bankroll.
Then, at the 2007 WSOP, Tran made his biggest cash thus far when he finished second in the $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em event, which was good for more than $387,000. To date Tran has acquired 8 title, 91 cashes, and an astonishing winning amount of $2,114,795.00.
Currently residing in Las Vegas, Tran is determined to make poker his business and have fun along the way.

Nets Lose Lopez For Season
Brook Lopez broke his fifth metatarsal in his right foot. Isn't this the same injury that CJ McCollum suffered in training camp? "The Brooklyn Nets have lost Brook Lopez for the remainder of the season with a broken foot, a league source has confirmed. Lopez broke the surgically-repaired right foot that he fractured in 2011 and later had a screw replaced in. He is believed to have suffered the injury sometime in the second half of Brooklyn's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. Lopez played 44 minutes, including many with the injury. The Nets discovered the injury after the game when Lopez underwent X-rays on his troublesome foot." Via Ohm Youngmisuk/ESPN

I had the opportunity to interview Russian model Yulia Drummond, who designed her own swimwear line: 'Voda Swim' after she had problems finding well-fitting and flattering swimsuits for small breasts. How awesome!
I personally haven't tried a Voda Swim bikini, but I did have the chance to ask beautiful Yulia some questions about Voda Swim! :)
- What is the secret of Voda Swim?
The secret of Voda Swim is in the patent pending technology inside the Envy Push Up ® swimsuit top.
The top visually increases the bust by 1-2 cup sizes, and provides great cleavage, lift and support.
Plus the padding retains less than a tablespoon of water which means no sagging when wet.
There is no underwire which means it is comfortable to wear and be active in.
But the real secret is that it looks just like a regular bikini when you are wearing it!
- What reactions/letters/emails have you received from girls and women who bought your bikinis?
We receive hundreds of testimonials from women about how much they love the Envy Push Up ® swimsuit and how much it has changed their lives.
It is definitely a life changing event for a lot of women…including me!
It feels great when you can finally wear a gorgeous bikini on the beach and feel good about yourself and your body.
- What would you tell a young girl who's insecure because of her small breasts?
In the end it all comes down to confidence.
I felt very insecure about my bust size too, but you just have to love yourself the way you are, be happy with your body, and wear it proudly.
- Do you need cleavage to feel more confident? Or can you also just be proud of what you have?
Definitely, you should be proud of what you have, but it does helps to have very nice cleavage during certain situations.
I love having cleavage; it makes an appearance of bigger fuller bust and it makes me feel sexy.
- And finally, if you could describe Voda Swim in one word - what would it be?

TOOTH FAIRY DESIGNS produces jewelry and home accent items designed to create unique settings for highly processed baby teeth. The products do not display the teeth in the conventional manner that renders them immediately recognizable as teeth. Instead, a patented manufacturing process is used to create a subtle, pearl-like gemstone that is mounted in the bezel of contemporary jewelry designs and keepsakes.
The term deciduous means "to fall off." Although deciduous teeth are in time replaced by the succedaneous, or permanent, teeth, they are very important to the proper alignment, spacing and occlusion of the permanent teeth. The deciduous incisor teeth are functional in the mouth for approximately five years, while the deciduous molars are functional for approximately nine years. They therefore have considerable functional significance. The progressive loss of deciduous teeth are considered an important milestone in the developmental phase of childhood.
The events are often marked by celebration, traditions and superstitions around the world. In the United States, tradition is based on tales of the Tooth Fairy. In Australia, mothers are once believed to have crushed their children's baby teeth and eaten the powder.
In some parts of the world, a child's baby tooth was placed in nests where rats or snakes were known to live because people believed evil witches disliked those animals and wouldn't go near them. In many parts of the world, parents placed their children's teeth in mouse nests. They thought that would result in a new tooth growing in the lost tooth's place, just as a mouse's lost teeth somehow re-grew.
In other parts of the world, mothers hid their children's teeth from animals because they believed if an animal found the tooth, a tooth like that animal's teeth would grow in the mouth of the child. In parts of England, mothers at one time burned their children's baby teeth so that evil witches couldn't get their hands on them and gain control of the children.
In the United States and elsewhere, it is common for parents to save, at least for a while, the exfoliated baby teeth of their children as a keepsake of their childhood and development. The typical storage means is a small envelope, or decorative box.
There are several disadvantages associated with dry storage of the exfoliated baby teeth. The primary disadvantage is that the small teeth will continue to dry out, and become more fragile and brittle with time. Another disadvantage is that a small box filled with tiny teeth isn't significant as a keepsake, other than the origin of the teeth themselves. The collective individual teeth are easily lost or mixed up with the teeth of other children. And of course, their natural geometry combined with bloodstains lacks the display appeal of photographs, gifts, letters, and other memorabilia.
Now, for the first time, a patented series of processing steps provides a means for creating beautiful jewelry and home accessory items from your child's baby teeth. Once disinfected, cleaned and solidified, the tiny teeth show their amazing luster like little pearls.

"Green" optical storage medium
Optical storage media currently widely used are petroleum polymers based products. A new Eco-innovation project studies the possibility to produce optical storage media based on biopolymers.
Dr.Dirk Fuhrmann from kdg mediatech AG, Austria with cooperation of German Bioplastic GmbH is planning to launch first successful green optical storage device. The plan is that the current petroleum based industry standardized polycarbonate will be replaced by environmentally compatible polyactide (PLA).
PLA is a biodegradable polymer produced from the European sugar beets overproduction. The current products do not fulfill the requirements for heat stability; however this problem should be solved by German Bioplastic GmbH leading to production of more thermally resistant product.
This biodegradable alternative to polycarbonate storage discs would reduce the carbon dioxide generation by up to 43% and would also reduce the biowaste and waste generation.

From FOX 25 chief meteorologist Kevin Lemanowicz
What a difference Wednesday! Highs were in the 70s inland after only 30s and 40s Tuesday. All it took was some sunshine and a wind shift.
A cold front will go through early Thursday morning with a couple of showers. Slightly cooler air behind the front will mean highs near in the upper 50s to low 60s. There could be a few showers Friday with a disturbance sliding through, then high pressure takes over. It will bring dry air and sunshine through the weekend. Highs inland will again be warm, perhaps in the 70s, but sea breezes along the coast will keep it significantly cooler, likely in the 50s.
It'll be a great weekend for baseball at Fenway, too. Enjoy!

Asked what it was like to have to trim almost half of his
play's running time for a screen adaptation, Tracy Letts replied, "It was
excruciating." I can only imagine, as some characters clearly get short shrift
in this condensation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning show. Yet as a showcase for
a host of gifted actors, it remains potent and entertaining.
Watching Meryl Streep is always a joy, I daresay a privilege. She tears into a juicy role as matriarch of a deeply troubled Oklahoma family. The death of her husband (Sam Shepard) brings far-flung siblings and children back to their homestead for the funeral and its aftermath. Over the course of a few days, and especially over the dinner table, old wounds are reopened, long-held resentments aired anew, and layer by layer, we discover the ugly skeletons in this family's closet. When the air clears, it's up to the individuals to decide what they should do next.
The cast couldn't be better, and each one gets a chance to shine—some more consistently than others. Julia Roberts is quite good as the daughter who stands up to her mother. Margo Martindale is wonderful (as always) as Streep's earthy sister, and Chris Cooper equally shines as Martindale's husband. Juliette Lewis and Julianne Nicholson have sterling moments as Roberts' sisters, while Dermot Mulroney and Ewan McGregor do yeoman service as men who married into the dysfunctional clan. Abigail Breslin and Misty Upham make the most of their relatively minor roles. I'm not sure Benedict Cumberbatch's role, as Martindale and Cooper's callow son, was worth the time it took for him to fly from London to Oklahoma, but he does as fine a job as one would expect.
Director John Wells takes a straightforward approach to this sprawling material and allows us to be spectators, taking in the dirty laundry one piece at a time. For a film that relies so much on dialogue, it flows surprisingly well.
Yet as good as it is, this movie made me want to see the four-hour play; I'm sorrier than ever that I missed it on Broadway and in Los Angeles. Given the exigencies of mainstream moviemaking, Letts and Wells decided to focus on the two dominant female characters played by Streep and Roberts. That's a reasonable trade-off, but I couldn't help thinking there had to be more to the male characters than is revealed in this screenplay. As a moviegoer, I shouldn't be thinking about what's missing.
Peter | May 30, 2014 4:48 AM
Disappointed by seeing this when the preview material look absolutely hilarious. Its narrative conclusions was disappointing, too.
mike schlesinger | December 27, 2013 6:12 PM
I did see the play and adored it. The chief victim of the cutting is the Cheyenne housekeeper. Onstage, she functions as the audience surrogate and brings us more fully into the drama. On film, she's been reduced to a near bit. (So is the cop who was at one time Roberts' boy friend, but he was never an important character so that loss is no big deal.) And of course there's the deservedly-derided tacked-on "extra" ending. I did enjoy the film very much, but I wonder if I would have liked it even more had I come to it cold...a risk that's always inherent with an adaptation.

Book Description:This pamphlet, which supports any classroom text, consists of the updated Federal Rules of Evidence and materials designed to aid in understanding, construing, and applying them. The Federal Rules of Evidence have been completely restyled, effective December 1, 2011, and the pamphlet provides a side-by-side comparison of before-and-after restyling of each Evidence Rule. It also contains relevant legislative history and Committee Notes, as well as the California Rules of Evidence. This edition of the pamphlet was prepared by Professor Daniel J. Capra, the Reporter to the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules. Professor Capra has included his own comments on many of the Restyled Rules--based on his role as Reporter to the Restyling Project--and also includes his article on case law that diverges from the text of the Evidence Rules.

Rock Blackwell-No Mercy on me (via XxSaVaGeXx100)
March 29th, 2012
By: Linda Gilbert
Linda Gilbert catches up with super middle weight pro prospect Rock Blackwell to discuss his future plans within the sport of Boxing.
LG: Hello Rock! Before we get started, I want to first thank you for allowing me to get the exclusive on you, I understand your a busy man.
RB: No, thank you! I'm never too busy for you guys.
LG: Your an amazing boxer and athlete. 156 fights as an amateur and I hear your career as a professional is now up and up, you have big things coming up in the near future.
RB: Absolutely! I'm with a great team now and we are setting the stage for major things in the coming years.
LG: I saw on Boxrec where you loss your debut almost four years ago back in 2009, but have also heard that it was due to poor management and illness, What happened that night?
RB: There were so many things that went wrong that night, but the number one factor that hurt me was the weight loss and dehydration. This was the "root" of all my problems. I came down from 185 lbs solid muscle to 153.8 lbs in a matter of weeks, barely eating to make the weight. Also there was no re-hydration process at all, I was bone dry and completely dehydrated. When the fight kicked off I knew what to do but my strength and reflexes wasn't there. I was perspiring like crazy and then for some reason it was very hard for me to take the punches, I knew something was seriously wrong. I tried to just knock the guy out, this is how I broke my hand. Terrible, Terrible night. I was hurt by the way I was treated, but many to date world champions have been through these same ups & downs. Bernard Hopkins loss his pro debut, Nonito Donaire loss his second pro fight, James Kirkland was stopped in the first round against Nobuhiro Ishida due to excessive weight loss & dehydration, the list goes on. I just took it as a learning lesson, educated myself and got better.
LG: Wow! That is unacceptable! Who was managing you at the time? and why didn't he/she make sure you were properly prepared?
RB: That is a long story in itself, I was with Birmingham Boxing Promotions. This guy is a terrible manager! He did absolutely nothing in preparing me for that fight. Even the contract between him and I wasn't legit, it was never signed and sealed by the state athletic commission. But I was young and gullible at the time, I wasn't schooled on how things work in the pro's, so I practically believed everything he said. He lied to me about so many things. I could go on & on about this guy and the things he have done, I just moved on and took it as a lesson well learned.
LG: When did you realize that it was time to move up to super middle weight?
RB: After I was done with Birmingham, I signed with a guy name James Hogan. I started training down Upton Boxing Gym. Every one wanted me to fight at 154 lbs or possibly 160, so once again I started losing a lot of weight. I was sparring one day and I "could not" pull the trigger, I took a good beating. But I could not execute what I knew I was well capable of, this was "red flag" number two! So I went and got checked out by a sports doctor, the doc ran some test on me and explained to me that I was losing way to much weight. I only had 7% body fat and any cut below 168lbs was an absolute danger zone. Complete "loss" of motor skills, reflexes, lack of oxygen to the brain and loss of my general body defenses. He explained to me that the problem wasn't in my ability as an athlete but in my over all health. I love Baltimore but I knew then that it was time for a major change.
LG: Now that your based out of New York and Jersey, what is next for you?
RB: Well I'm never looking back to Baltimore (laugh). I love my city but its such a negative place. It's more hate then anything, no love what so ever. It's why the success rate is at an all time low. People search for the bad in each other instead of focusing on empowering the good, It's also why Baltimore cannot produce world champions. We had Hassim in 2001, Vincent Pettway I believe in 1995, and before that was Joe Gaines in 1908, that's ridiculous! Baltimore have the talent but cannot come together. Every where in world has bad places but Baltimore is "overwhelmed" with hate, high school drop outs, STD's, teen pregnancy, murder, drugs, rape and homosexuality. My team and I are set towards big things! I'm not going to let the cat out the bag just yet, soon all will see.
LG: You have done some training at the Wild Card in Hollywood, How was that experience?
RB: Great! I learned a lot about myself and boxing. Freddy is a legend and full of wisdom.
LG: Many sports analyst predict you will become champ by late 2013 or early 2014, Whats your prediction?
RB: I agree, we are focused on capturing a few national or regional titles first, then we will go after a world title. But God is on my side and I have a great team, we will see it done.
LG: You are compare to Andre Berto for your explosive power and Floyd Mayweather Jr. for your counter punching style. How does this comparison make you feel?
RB: Honored! Berto is a great champion and Floyd is a legend. If God permits, I will one day be in there likeness as world champion.
LG: Once again thank you for allowing me to interview you, keep working hard & keep the faith. I am so excited for you and your career, your an amazing boxer and athlete. You truly have what it takes to become champion of the world. We believe in you champ.
RB: Thanks Linda
LG: Till next time
RB: Till next time

We will keep adding materials here that we think can help those who are planning to implement LiD or who are already underway with the program. We continue to develop additional support materials.
As with most things, the beginning is often the hardest part. LiD does require some preparation. Careful attention to the initial ceremony, for example, will pay off in students' seriousness in beginning the project and their continued concern with it. And, of course, planning the program with care is always worth the time spent when it comes to putting it into practice. We will continue to add a number of documents here to help with these processes.
We will organize the items we have currently developed into three main categories: Planning; The First Year; and Subsequent Years. You can read on-line or download any of the following:
Currently we have only a few discussions of the Planning phase. We are putting just one item here for now but you will also find significant amounts about the planning phase in Linda Holmes's document below. Soon we will add further items on planning.
Subsequent Years
"Some operating principles". This document offers advice about how to engage students' imaginations in their topics, and how to keep accommodate support for the students as they get older and change the nature of their interest in their topics. Click here.
"Building the portfolio." A discussion of the practical steps to help the student build the portfolio, and advice about the form and development of portfolios. Click here
Objections & Responses
This is a rather lengthy discussion of the pros and cons of the LiD program. Or at least it is an attempt to waylay a number of concerns about the applicability of the program, and respond to what are the commonest objections people have made or that we can imagine. Click Here

So after coming home from the tents and blogging a bit, I didn't have much time to change, so switched out my vintage blazer for a Diesel jean jacket, traded my YSL Tribtoo Platform Pumps for a pair of Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra wedge heels, piled on some jewelry, and hit the town:
I was too late for my scheduled interview with Rachel Roy, but did have a great time snapping Real Style and talking to Fashion's Night out enthusiasts at Macy's:
(I must admit, I did a little shopping)
I then headed to Missoni, where a big Missoni clad doll was stationed outside on her Iphone (I kid you not).
Turns out her name is Marina, and she has her own Twitter account, www.twitter.com/marinawithstyle. Follow her if you like, it's kind of funny.
After getting the scoop on Marina, I said hi to legendary model Pat Cleveland (isn't she gorgeous?)
And of course couldn't leave without saying hello to Margherita Missoni herself…
She was super sweet!
After a quick drink….
I hailed a cab downtown and popped into Alexander Wang and Surface to Air.
And then, my friends, I called it a night.
I have three shows today. Stay tuned for more Claire's Life.

I was watching this game last night and I thought from what I could see that puck appeared to be laying on Emery's inside the net, this should have been a goal in my opinion, I think the video review booth in this case blew it. I like the idea of having a chip in the puck then you would know for sure if the puck was in the net for not.
Globe and Mail — The first blow was the goal that wasn't. The Flames crowded Anaheim goalie Ray Emery and swiped away at the puck then began celebrating as if they had scored. Replays showed the puck was somewhere in Emery's possession as he fell backwards into his net. Ducks' captain Ryan Getzlaf reached in and pulled the puck away then, when asked about his handiwork during a second-period intermission, said he did nothing of the sort. "Wasn't me," he protested.
After a six-minute delay, referee Gord Dwyer announced the puck didn't completely cross the line. Flames' fans quickly let their inner most feelings known.
"I'm telling you it was in. That's all I can say," said Calgary's Matt Stajan, who was in on the action. "It's too bad they got it wrong. We can't blame the season on that. but it was a big momentum change."
"Everybody was scrambling," Getzlaf said afterwards. "They did a great job taking as long as they could to get (the call) right."

We had a hankering for sushi and this seemed the best choice on the island. Sure enough, very nice, sleek and elegant restaurant once inside. We ended a few sushi, a tempura prawn and a chicken rice bowl. All was very good, the sushi was mini sized though (hence my title) so probably needed to order more than we thought, nice big prawns for the tempura the rice was nice but took an age to come and 'coincidently' arrive almost immediately after we chased to see where it was.
But brings me to the large downside, service was low and inattentive, having to flag down waiters from across the restaurant for the bill and to chase our rice. Which greatly reduced the overall experience.
The bill came to about £70 and we only had a coke and a tea to drink, so expensive for what we had albeit nice food. So more suited/ priced for n evening out than lunch.

I thought it might be fun to start a #4Bar movement here on BlazersEdge. I'm not sure of the best way to go about it especially since FanPosts are limited by a minimum of 75 words and FanShots don't give me the more robust functionality that the FanPosts afford us. Well anyway I've finally broken through the 75 word wall (I'm writing this after I wrote my 4Bar), so without further ado I present my first and hopefully not my last #4BarBlazersEdge:
Sitting here Saturday morn with my fresh coffee brew
So restless for Wednesday night, don't know what to do
Once the sun sets and the Blazers hit the court
Should be a breeze without Markieff Morris and Gortat

By Ryan Houston - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB)- The Southwest Health District says flu related visits to the hospital are down. Flu season in southwest Georgia ranges from early November to March.
Do old home remedies for cold and flu really work?. A local pharmacist said at best some of the home remedies, we heard of just deal with the symptoms.
Visiting a doctor is key, whenever you notice changes in your health. When you see coughing, sneezing, and runny noses, it's flu season.
"I've been fortunate not to have the flu in a long time. Because I took a flu shot," said Grandmother Judy Sikora. That's what Doctors recommend.
Judy Sikora is a wife, mother and grandmother who's heard about different home remedies. "Put Vicks Vapor Rub on the feet. And then add socks on and that's suppose to suppress the cough," said Sikora.
"Hot totties, and Vicks vapor rub on the feet just relieve the symptoms. They don't really solve the problem," said Pharmacist Ed Dosier. In his 40 year career, he's heard even stranger things people do to get over colds.
"A long time ago, people would give Castor Oil and laxatives to try and wash the cold out. It doesn't do anything, but give the kids bad stomach aches," said Dosier.
He recommends medicine like Tylenol, Advil, and Nasal spray depending on how you feel. "The home remedies that you can use, are basically over the counter medications. Things that you can buy to help with symptoms," said Dosier.
"I am a firm believer that Vicks Vapor Rub will cure just about anything," said Sikora. Doctors say the best way to deal with the flu, or any sickness is prevention.
"If symptoms persist longer than a week. You need to call your doctor," said Dosier.
"Wash your hands. I keep disinfectant wipes with me all the time. After I leave the grocery store, I use it," said Sikora. For the best medical advice, listen to your doctor.
Health officials are still asking everyone to still get flu shots, it's not to late. Especially children, because the flu can spread fast at the schools.
If your kids get the flu, it's a strong possibility they can bring it home. Flu shots are still being given at Walgreens and CVS. Also officials say after receiving the shot, it takes up to two weeks before it works properly.
Visit the CDC's website for a look at the current cold and flu condition in Georgia.

RSG Set To Demolish Illegal Structures In Abuloma
All structures along Aeroplane Drive, Off Abuloma Road in
Port Harcourt Local Government Area of Rivers State already marked for
demolition would soon be brought down.
This follows the August 6, 2012 deadline given to owners of
such houses built along public right of way or erected under high-tension electricity
cables, to vacate the area.
Commissioner for Urban Development and Renewal, Dr Tammy
Danagogo who made the clarification dismissed speculations by a section of the
local media that his ministry was being used to disposess a widow of her home,
in favour of a serving lawmaker.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Commissioner explained, no
fewer than 20 illegal houses had since been marked, and occupants ordered to
vacate the area more than a month ago.
In an interview with The Tide in Port Harcourt, yesterday,
Dr Danagogo said, "We will demolish them. The delay is due to backlog of areas
earmarked. We will get there."
He explained that, his ministry would not mark a widow's
building if it did not contravene existing regulations and renewed his call to
affected property owners to vacate the area.
According to him, 'the important thing is that owners of
buildings on public right of way and road which cause setbacks must remove
"Whereas I don't know her (the said widow's) particular
building and as such the exact whistle blower, I am aware that even the Abuloma
community wrote to me, complaining about illegal developments and the need to
curb / demolish them".
The Tide learnt that a section of the local media last week
singled out one Mrs Gloria Israel among other property owners as a victim of
official intimidation, imputing that her property was marked for demolition for
refusing to sell it to the member of the Rivers State House of Assembly
representing Ogu/Bolo constituency, Hon. Evans Bipi.
But The Tide investigation revealed that contrary to that
misinformation, the property in question, at Tomski Opuiyoo Avenue by Aeroplane
Drive, Off Abuloma Road had been earmarked for demolition, three years ago,
when Hon. Bipi had not even contested elections into the House.
Another land owner, Mr Oba Loveday confirmed to The Tide
that their properties, along with the widow's, were earmarked about three years
earlier and wondered why anyone could blame their woes on either government or
the lawmaker.
"I don't believe in sentiments, we were all asked to go
since three years ago, why are they making unnecessary propaganda," Loveday

This store has probably the biggest selection, in terms of shelf space, of beer of any supermarket I have ever been in. It's huge. The store itself is large and full of stuff, and the beer section is no exception.
Just when I thought the selection had ended, and I was already stoked by the amount of stuff they had, I turned the corner and so did the beer.
The selection included crafts from Pennsylvania, Colorado, Oregon, California, Texas, and others that I didn't immediately recognize; plenty of German beer like Paulaner and Franziskaner (can't recall if I saw any Erdinger); and lots of others. It was enough to make me wish I would always have a store of such quality within at least driving distance of me. An exceptional selection of great beer.

One of the two places I regularly buy beer close to where I live in South Central Austin. For those of you familiar with Whole Foods, and their beer selection, I have typically found the quality to be about the same and the variety somewhat better. The domestic selections are about equal to all other countries combined, about 100-120 ft of refrigerated shelf space (my best guess). There are also a few floor displays around the beer & wine section, typically for the specials and new additions.
For those of you looking sample via singles, this is not the place. While there have been some singles available, check the sushi case before getting to the beer & wine section, and the case near the checkout register by the cafe, the selection has been limited as of late. The staff, however, have at times let me break sixes when I've wanted to try something. Be cautioned, that this is not a standard practice. Plenty of sixes and bomber to choose from, though. Many of quality micros are here: Dogfish Head, Brooklyn Beer, Lefthand, Flying Dog, Avery, Stone, Lagunitas, Deschutes, and Full Sail, to name a few. They also carry a number of Texas micros, which is a nice touch.
The staff has always been friendly and helpful. It appears that they are encouraged to try their stock.
Prices are good when you find something on sale, about the same as most other places when you don't (maybe a bit cheaper).

Developed by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Univen's Institute for Rural Development, the Nkuzi Development Association and the Vhembe District Municipality, the ICAD is a simulation game with a manual in both English and Tshivenda. The ICAD was developed, piloted and validated over three years, engaging four community property associations in the Makhado Municipality. It is intended for use by community-level decision makers and farmers to help eliminate fragmented and uncoordinated decision-making in the use and management of land in rural areas, particularly in restitution areas. A key feature of the ICAD is the identification and participation of a wide range of stakeholders, including people potentially affected by the proposed land use. Environmental, social and economic impacts of proposed land use are also identified and decisions on how to mitigate any detrimental effects made before implementation is rolled out.

Field spectroscopy and the use of vegetation indices could offer an affordable and easy means of monitoring the impact of mine water and/or AMD on vegetation. The impact of raw and treated mine water or contaminated soil on wetland vegetation often manifests in growth inhibition and reduction of foliar pigments and nutrient levels. Surveying the impact on wetland vegetation or underlying soils can be difficult and expensive considering the cost of laboratory analysis of samples. The potential of field spectroscopy for detecting the impact of mine water on wetland vegetation was examined by assessing (1) whether there was a significant difference in leaf spectra between sites receiving mine water and a non-impacted control site and (2) whether there was a gradation of vegetation condition downstream from the decanting site. Two vegetation indices were derived from portable field spectrometer-measured spectra of five green leaves of Phragmites australis – the chlorophyll red edge position (REP) and the normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) – for two dormant (winter) and peak growth (summer) seasons in 2011–2012. Mean REP and NDVI values were significantly (p<0.05) lower for affected sites compared to the control site for both seasons and years. The range of REP values for young green leaves in winter for affected sites was 695–720 nm compared to the narrower range of 705–721 nm for the control site. The mean REP values for young green leaves in winter was 708 nm for the affected sites compared to 716 nm for the control site. The downstream gradation, however, fluctuated for REP and NDVI over the study period. We conclude that field spectroscopy shows potential to serve as a relatively quick and affordable means to assess the condition and health of vegetation affected by AMD.

Time of fatality is used as a proxy to reflect the presence of effective lighting, not precluding the presence of any other lighting intervention. In South Africa, for a large proportion (60%) walking is a primary means of transport, with about 45% of all deaths on South African roads being pedestrian. Such reports call for attention to be devoted to analyzing pedestrian fatalities records to locate possible directions of intervention. Results fromthis analysis reveals that not only does time of day influence pedestrian fatality counts, but also within road types, municipal roads were the most prone to pedestrian fatalities followed by national roads, while the regional roads were the least prone to pedestrian fatalities.

The platform was prepared by the electrodeposition of the dendrimer on a carbon electrode followed by drop coating with streptavidin. The generation 4 poly(propylene imine) dendrimer/streptavidin platform was characterised using scanning electron microscopy, voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Electrochemical measurements indicated that the platform was stable, conducting and exhibited reversible electrochemistry at a former potential of 140 mV in pH 7.5 phosphate buffer saline solution (PBS), while EIS interrogation using [Fe(CN)(sub6)(sup3-/4-)] redox probe showed a marked reduction in charge transfer resistance (Rct) after modification. The biosensor was prepared by the immobilisation of single stranded 5'- biotynilated probe DNA and B40 aptamer on the modified electrode and then used to detect complementary DNA and gp120 respectively. The biosensor responses were evaluated with square wave voltammetry (SWV) and EIS in the presence of PBS and Fe(CN)(sub6)(sup3-/4-)redox probe. A detection limit of 3.44 x 10(sup-12) M (S/N = 3) and linearity r(sup2)= 0.9985 were obtained for the DNA biosensor while the aptamer biosensor detected gp120 in the nanomolar concentration range. The DNA biosensor also showed excellent selectivity in the presence of non complementary and mismatch DNA strands. Description: Copyright: 2014 Electrochemical Science Group.

Dan Radcliffe Discusses "A Young Doctor's Notebook"Radcliffe
October 13, 2012, 08:23 PM
The Guardian has a new interview up with Daniel Radcliffe, where he talks a bit about his upcoming series, "A Young Doctor's Notebook." Radcliffe discussed the amount of gore that will be present in the series:
Acted with a degree of slapstick and gore, the adaptation includes a tooth extraction from hell, an eruption of pus like a water cannon from an infected eye, and that horrific leg amputation, with a blunt saw.
Radcliffe admitted: "The amputation was rough, you see me hacking away." He added: "I am an obsessive Bulgakov fan, since I read the book when I was 18. It is so compelling and exciting. This is his first book, and he can't help his own crazed imagination coming through. At the first meeting Jon and I had, I said, yes, let's do it."
As for the gore, Radcliffe said: "That had to stay. It is pretty graphic in the book, and you can't do justice to it without that. By episode four we were running out of blood."
Radcliffe also talked about his interaction with Jon Hamm's character:
The conceit of the comedy is that Radcliffe plays the young doctor, while Hamm, 41, is his older self, who tutors him and plays to his deepest insecurities. Hamm's version "voices all the neuroses of the young doctor, he becomes the voice in his head", explained Radcliffe.
Radcliffe's character is straight out of a top Moscow medical school and assigned to a remote hospital, where he is the only doctor for miles. He is often on the edge of panic, inexperienced in the realities of medicine.
"He has learned his medicine in books; he is confronted with the reality," said Radcliffe. Or, as his character observes by episode two, being a doctor is a mix of "butcher and seamstress".
Hamm dispenses sardonic advice, for example, on how hard it is to amputate a crushed leg, but also starts to display the drug addiction that undermined the real life career of Bulgakov. The writer became addicted to morphine to dull the pain of a wound sustained around 1917.
You can read the rest of the article here. "A Young Doctor's Notebook" will premiere on Sky on December 6th.

Since the announcements on 14th and 15th of this month, the Wii has been priced. However, it's almost taken as gospel that the cost of the Wii consoles are fixed. I was looking over at wikipedia and seen that some of the prices are actually just Nintendo's "estimate". In essence we may see these rise or fall.
Interestingly, it's only Europe that has an "estimated" retail price, rather than a set one. Likewise, if you think you're in an area that will have the worst Wii prices, you're wrong unless you live in Mexico.
Please feel free to discuss...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A Fort Smith man has been convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the shooting death of a Dallas man outside a nightclub in Little Rock.
A Pulaski County jury convicted 32-year-old Edward Lee Thompson III of first-degree murder in the Christmas Eve 2012 shooting death of Richard Harkey Ratley II when Ratley intervened during the beating and robbery of his brother.
A defense attorney for Thompson denied that Thompson was involved in the attempted robbery of Tyler Ratley that led to the shooting. Tyler Ratley testified that Thompson was one of two men who beat and robbed him.
Prosecutors say Thompson has refused to divulge the identities of anyone else who may have been involved in the incident.

FAO Regional Representative for Asia-Pacific
Honourable Minister of Agriculture,Excellencies,Distinguished Delegates,Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning.
On behalf of the Director-General of FAO, Mr Jacques Diouf, I welcome you to this Senior Officers Meeting of the 27th FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific.
For myself, I consider it a privilege and a pleasure to address you, the regions highest officials and experts in agriculture. Your findings in this meeting, I am certain, will provide invaluable input for the region's ministers of agriculture in the forthcoming ministerial session of the Conference.
Developments in the biennium
A number of significant developments in food and agriculture have taken place since the 26th Regional Conference in Katmandu two years ago.
Production of cereals, the region's staple food, fell by three and a half percent in 2002 owing primarily to drought and some flooding. But weather improved in most of the region in 2003 and aggregate output has been estimated to rebound to 1.035 billion tonnes.
The depressed global agricultural commodities price situation notwithstanding, prices of several of the region's export commodities began to recover in 2003/04. Thus rubber, tapioca, palm oil, coconut oil, rice, meat and milk prices have strengthened to a variable extent. Rural incomes have benefited from this price rise.
Regional agricultural trade continued to grow robustly at about three percent per annum in value terms. What is really encouraging was the explosive growth of intra-regional trade. This came about from acceleration of trade liberalization within the region through bilateral and subregional trade agreements in ASEAN and increasingly in East Asia and South Asia.
Following the Asian financial crisis, there seemed to be heightened awareness of the critical role of agriculture in poverty alleviation and food security. In the biennium, China and several ASEAN countries acted to slow down the slide in the percentage of the national budget allocated to agriculture.
There was also increased inter-country collaboration at the highest levels to resolve emerging agricultural problems. Recent initiatives in harmonization of rice export policies, the East Asia Emergency Rice Reserve, the International Rubber Company, intra-regional trade liberalization, and animal and plant diseases prevention and preparedness were cases in point.
Meanwhile, the current Doha Round of trade negotiations promises to be more development oriented paying increased attention to poverty alleviation. So far WTO members have committed themselves to a comprehensive and effective reduction of domestic support and export subsidy and improvement of market access. But the modalities of implementation, especially those taking care of the special needs of developing countries, continue to be debated.
But there were also unpleasant surprises in the biennium. The Avian Influenza epidemic affected many countries in the region, but was contained.
Despite steady recovery from disasters, food crises requiring exceptional assistance persisted in four countries. Funding and other difficulties severely limited production and import capacities of these food-shortage countries.
At the same time, natural disasters continued to take their toll on rural livelihoods. There were earthquakes in Afghanistan, Iran and Indonesia, floods in Timor-Leste, drought in Sri Lanka, landslides in the Philippines and forest fires in many countries in the region during biennium.
In food security, we are nowhere near the rate of progress needed to meet the World Food Summit target of halving the number of undernourished by 2015. It may be useful for me to stress that the number of undernourished in the region decreased by only 6.8 million annually in the nineties. This was only half the required rate of progress needed to meet the target. For the region to get on track, we will now have to reduce the number of undernourished by 15 million annually—more than twice the original planned rate. This is a formidable task indeed.
Let me now turn to longer term trends that will determine the course of sustainable agriculture and food security.
Strategic trends and challenges
This region has achieved much in agriculture. There have been steady though slow productivity gains. Food availability and diets have improved in many countries and for the region as a whole. Rural incomes are beginning to rise although the phenomenon is by no means uniform. But there are also unfavorable trends and major challenges ahead.
To begin with, this is a densely populated region wherein natural resources are almost fully utilized. But the agricultural population has been growing steadily at 0.5 percent per annum in the past decade. Unless population growth is arrested or productivity gains are accelerated, poverty alleviation will advance much too slowly. Moreover, already critical population density related issues like migration, the greying and feminization of agriculture, increasing fragility of agro-ecosystems and others may be aggravated.
Population pressure forces agricultural intensification leading to land degradation and water scarcity. Deforestation, water-shed destruction, wind and water erosion, silting, soil deterioration and water scarcity have reached alarming proportions. The impending climate change is likely to make matters worse.
The region's agriculture is primarily rainfed. Only a third of the region's agricultural land is irrigated. Irrigation expansion at 1.5 percent per annum has been too slow. Much of the irrigation systems are old and in disrepair and there is rampant wastage and loss of water. Unless this situation is improved, productivity of the diverse agro-ecosystems will remain low.
The Asia-Pacific Region is highly disaster prone. This vulnerability is not just from inclement weather. It is also from pests and diseases, economic mismanagement and civil strife. The recent outbreaks of SARS, Avian Flu and the Nipah Virus, the earlier Asian financial crisis and on-going civil unrest in several countries evidenced this vulnerability.
There is increasing disparity in the distribution of farming resources, infrastructure and services leading to growing income inequity. Income gaps are widening among localities, subsectors, communities and households. The rural scenario is marked by sizeable pockets of the hardcore poor doomed to undernourishment because of insufficient resources, harsh agro-ecological environments, unsustainable farming systems, and remote locations.
Regional strategy
Recognizing these challenges, we felt that the region needed a strategic framework to guide medium-term planning and biennial programming. Such a Regional Strategic Framework would emphasize the needs of the region and factor in the regional trends. It would be an integral part of FAO's Global Strategic Framework.
With this in mind, the FAO Regional Office initiated a participatory process in April 2003 to forge the Regional Strategic Framework. We sounded out national counterparts and development partners and held in-depth discussions to analyze issues, recognize challenges, identify priority areas, assess capacities and suggest implementation guidelines. In the formulation, we paid special attention to the need for interdisciplinarity, broadening of partnerships and alliances and leveraging resources.
The outcome of this year-long effort is a document reiterating FAO's global vision and mission in food security and articulating strategic elements that the Organization and its member countries might adopt in Asia and the Pacific.
In this Framework six thematic areas have been prioritized for national and collective action. They are: restructuring of agriculture; decentralization of governance; reducing vulnerability to disasters; promoting sustainable use of natural resources; strengthening biosecurity; and enhancing the future of rice.
These priority themes for interdisciplinary action will hopefully provide opportunities for countries to work with FAO in pursuance of their own national strategies. I would like to add that they would also bring us closer to the rate of progress needed to meet the Word Food Summit target on hunger reduction.
In FAO, we are confident of our ability to mobilize the multidisciplinary expertise and attract the necessary resources to work with you on these priority themes and others in pursuance of food security. In this regard, we have recently launched two far-reaching initiatives. These were, first, the high level Roundtable on the Regional Alliance Against Hunger in October 2003, followed by the Roundtable on Spearheading Subregional Programmes and Cooperation for Eradication of Poverty and Food Insecurity in February 2004. They are being succeeded by a third major initiative, namely the Roundtable on Financing for Agricultural Development being convened in parallel to this Conference.
Let me now say a few words on the work of this Senior Officers Meeting. In consultation with your governments, FAO is tabling three agenda items for discussion in this Conference. They are: Rice in Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development in Asia and the Pacific; Institution Building to Strengthen Agriculture Extension; and Follow-up to the World Food Summit and World Food Summit: five years later.
In support of your discussions, FAO is also presenting reports of six recent major initiatives. They are on seed policy, animal genetic resources, the International Year of Rice, bridging the rural digital divide, climate change and national strategies for agricultural development.
The task of this Senior Officers Meeting will be to report its findings to the ministerial segment of this Conference. Given the wide differences of experience, it will require much hard work to agree on many issues. But in light of the need for collective action in resource mobilization, technology transfer and institutional development, I am confident that we will come up with clear-sighted recommendations for endorsement by our ministers.
Finally allow me to thank, on behalf of the Director-General of FAO, our host country, the People's Republic of China. In doing so, I would like to express my gratitude to the Minister of Agriculture and his staff for their cooperation and assistance in organizing this Conference and for the warm welcome and generous hospitality they have extended to us.
Permit me also to thank you, distinguished participants, for taking time off from your important duties to participate in this Meeting.
I wish you a fruitful Meeting.
Thank you for your kind attention.
