It's Time for Israel to Fight Evil
No country would allow their citizens to live under a constant barrage of missile attacks and bombs and danger — and the State of Israel will not allow Arab terror to continue.: : The people of Israel — from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem are united that Israel must stop these attacks and act in self-defense against the Palestinian Arab terrorists.
The terrorists in the Mideast are the enemy of the entire West, and it's time that Israel takes action.: : Peace is something everyone wants — but stopping the enemy so all people can have peace is necessary.
Some quotes which speak to these unique times:
- "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" Edmund Burk
- "The: goal of war is peace, of business, leisure" Aristotle
- "The truth is that if Israel were to put down its arms there would be no more Israel. If the Arabs were to put down their arms there would be no more war." Benjamin Netanyahu, 2006
- "Human society is based on reciprocity. If you remove reciprocity, justice becomes a lie. A person walking somewhere on a street has the right to live only because and only to the extent that he acknowledges my right to live. But, if he wishes to kill me, to my mind he forfeits his right to exist — and this also applies to nations. Otherwise, the world would become a racing area for vicious predators, where not only the weakest would be devoured, but the best." Ze'ev Jabotinsky
- Ecclesiastes 3:1,3,8b: "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven… A time of war, and a time of peace."
- King: Solomon: writes, "Everything has its season: A time to be born, a time to die; a time for war, a time for peace."
The time is now to wipe out the terrorists, and to protect innocent people. Humanity has no choice but to destroy evil, whatever it takes. It is no longer a dream, but a necessity. The Arabs don't desire so called "occupied territories"— it's about a desire to eradicate the Jewish people.
Decent, peace-seeking people everywhere will stand with the State of Israel and decency.

RAtheMC - Get Me ft. Fred Knuxx, Balance, & Wordsmith
Artist: RAtheMC
Featuring: Fred Knuxx, Wordsmith
Producer: Judah
Album: Are You Not Entertained
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 11 votes )
With her first Booth feature, RATheMC garnered well-deserved acclaim for the distinctive brand of "retro swagger" she brought to the table. Now, she's back with the lead single off her debut studio album, which showcases a more aggressive side of the Maryland up-and-comer. Judah once again handles production duties, but in contrast to the mellow, old-school vibe he cultivated on Hater Call, Get Me explodes with in-your-face fanfare from the get-go, and RA adopts a huskier, harder-edged flow to match. Also holding court on Get Me are rising stars Balance, Fred Knuxx, and Wordsmith (who previously worked with RA on his equally triumphant ensemble record, Game Set Point), each of whom spotlights his particular flavor of lyrical freshness. Get Me bodes well for RATheMC's career going forward, and should invest her with plenty of confidence leading up to next Tuesday, the 27th, when she asks hip-hop fans nationwide, "Are You Not Entertained?"

Pinpointing your fear of injections
By Jacqueline M. Duda
If it's not the fear of needles that gives you the willies, it might be the thought of sticking yourself several times each and every day. Or it could be the loss of control, the fear of side effects, or even the looming possibility that you might have to use insulin if your type 2 medication doesn't quite cut it. "No one enjoys shots," says Jan Drass, R.N., M.A., C.D.E. Diabetes Clinician at Frederick Memorial Healthcare System Wellness Center in Frederick, MD. It's like a mental game. Mainly because needles make you think of pain, and the thought of pain whips up the fear factor frenzy.

Hitler letter offers first glimpse of anti-Semitic passions
LOS ANGELES - Ten months after World War I ended, a 30-year-old German army veteran wrote a two-page letter in which he explained the "Jewish question" on a "rational" and "scientific" basis.
"An anti-semitism based on reason must lead to a systematic combating and elimination of the privileges of the Jews," he wrote. "The ultimate objective must be the irrevocable removal of Jews in general."
Signed "Respectfully, Adolf Hitler," the letter received high marks for the author from his superiors in a military propaganda unit bitterly opposed to the newly established Weimar Republic as the perceived handiwork of Bolsheviks, Socialists and Jews.
As the first written political statement of the future Fuehrer, the letter is considered a document of immense historical value.
It will be shown to the public for the first time on October 4 by the Simon Wiesenthal Center at its Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles....

Financial District: TRB Watch
Brooke Wisdom | October 1, 2009
Adhesive Anchors in Concrete under Sustained Loading Conditions
www.trb.org/Main/Public/Blurbs/ 162132.aspx
Adhesive anchor systems are commercial adhesives — often, but not exclusively, epoxy adhesives — used to anchor threaded metal rod and rebar into concrete. In many applications of these systems, the adhesive anchor is under a sustained tensile load, mandating the use of adhesives with strength and creep behavior appropriate to the load and expected service life, the anchor installation details, and the environmental conditions at the anchor. To help advance knowledge in this area, TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
Report 639: Adhesive Anchors in Concrete under Sustained Loading Conditions explores a test method designed to help determine an adhesive anchor's ability to resist sustained tensile loads. The test method builds on current methods from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), state departments of transportation, and other sources and considers the creep characteristics of the adhesive throughout the expected life of the structure, site-specific ultimate strength requirements, and the effects of temperature and moisture.
Bridge Management Systems for Transportation Agency Decision Making
Designing, building, maintaining, repairing, and replacing bridges involve critical investment decisions for agencies because of the high cost of these investments, the need to sustain an appropriate level of investment throughout the considerable life of a bridge, and the important structural and functional implications of the selected investments. Decision-making regarding the funding of state and provincial bridge programs occurs at different organizational levels within departments of transportation. To help advance knowledge about the different processes, TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
Synthesis 397: Bridge Management Systems for Transportation Agency Decision Making gathers information on current practices that senior managers at transportation agencies use to make network-level decisions on resource allocations for their bridge programs. In particular, the study explores how agency bridge management systems are employed in this process.

It's a disease that afflicts all teams these days - of too much cricket and too much travel
Ed Smith
August 1, 2012

Mark Nicholas : Once flawless, England now oddly insecure
Players/Officials: Kevin Pietersen
Series/Tournaments: South Africa tour of England
Teams: England
In their last 800 minutes
How quickly things change. Three weeks ago England reduced Australia to 96 for 6 in the ODI at Chester-le-Street, another blow in a crushing 4-0 demolition. England's problem in those happier times was not taking wickets, it was working out which of their battery of fast bowlers to leave out. England have gone from an embarrassment of riches to a crisis of confidence - all in under a month.
How can any team suffer such a rapid reversal of form and fortunes? The usual explanations will be offered - selection, tactics, over-confidence, under-confidence, and so on. But there is a fundamental underlying explanation for such huge fluctuations in the form and momentum of international teams, and it applies to every team in the modern era. Everyone plays too much cricket.
Today's players go on more tours, check into more hotels, catch more flights and play more cricket matches than any players in history. The IPL and new pop-up T20 leagues mean that top players often exploit commercial opportunities during gaps in the international calendar. Every international team, to a greater or lesser extent, is jaded and exhausted.
Here is the crucial point: systemic tiredness, spread across all international teams, leads to innate volatility. Imagine a cricket match as an arm-wrestle. Two perfectly fresh and well-prepared teams will compete somewhere near equilibrium point for a much longer period before one side gradually forces its opponent into submission. A contest between two tired teams, though they are trying just as hard, will end much more quickly and decisively.
When I played county cricket, I learnt that matches taking place at the end of the season were different. It wasn't that players didn't try as hard or care as much. The difference was more subtle. What really changed at the end of the season was the degree of resilience within teams. Suffering from the long-term tiredness that is inevitable at the end of a season, teams found it harder to mount a sustained comeback if they fell behind in the match. As a result, if you could gain a dominant lead in the match early on, your position quickly became impregnable. As a batsman, I learnt that there were opportunities for big scores at the end of the season: if you could get in, then the opposition quickly melted away. It wasn't that they stopped trying. They simply had depleted physical and psychological resources to draw upon.
The gruelling, drawn-out nature of a county season has repercussions for coaching and leadership. The most important skill for a successful county coach is not technical expertise or even tactical nous. It is knowing how to manage a team's workload. "I'm not really a coach at all," one county coach put it to me. "There is no time to coach in the English county season. I'm a manager."
It was once hoped that county cricket would evolve to be more like Test cricket - with long periods of rest and recuperation, sufficient preparation and then intense battle on the pitch. Instead, international cricket has evolved to be more like county cricket - a never-ending round of travelling, patching up injuries on the road and calling up replacements.
The "county treadmill" is defined by motorways and suburban hotels; modern international cricket is defined by airports and five-star luxury. But the underlying truth is the same. There is too much cricket, too much travel, insufficient time and space to "gather" - physically and psychologically - for the game ahead. In terms of atmosphere and physical exhaustion, modern Test cricket is played in an almost perpetual end of season.
Nor can teams simply take more time off. There is a base level of preparation that is essential to compete well. Australia were hampered in England by a wet spring and too little cricket. They were undercooked. But if they had extended their tour to guard against such pitfalls - given all the other commitments their players face - they would have become jaded.
When you play too much cricket, those are the recurrent facts of life: a constant search for a happy medium between underprepared and over-tired.
|There is too much cricket, too much travel, insufficient time and space to "gather" for the game ahead. In terms of atmosphere and physical exhaustion, modern Test cricket is played in an almost perpetual end of season
The result is wild lurches in form: England smashed by Pakistan in the Tests in UAE, Australia dismantled in England in the ODIs, England humiliated at The Oval.
Say what you like about today's Test cricket but it certainly isn't predictable.
What is Kevin Pietersen going to do next?
I have followed Pietersen's career closely. We were almost exact contemporaries, and I was a member of the 2003-04 England A team in which Pietersen played his first representative cricket. I'd just been dropped by England. He was on the way up, about to break into the Test team.
I've rarely seen anyone bat with such total self-belief and ambition. His own mind was clear. There was only one possible destination: greatness. Everything else was mere detail.
When I got back to England, English journalists were eager to find fault with his technique and his personality. "You'd surely agree," one leading cricket writer said to me, "that he won't be able to make Test runs with that leg-side technique?" I remember seeing it very differently and replied: "People who are waiting for Pietersen to fail will have a long wait ahead of them."
And they have certainly waited patiently. But Pietersen's departure from the England T20 team was interpreted as misjudged and ill-timed. And now, even though he is far from being in bad form with the bat, there is a general sense that he owes England something special.
He has been here before. Before the last Test of the 2005 Ashes, there was a sense that Pietersen had to back up his evident self-confidence with some on-field performances. He made 158 and secured the Ashes. In Sri Lanka last winter, when he needed a big score to salvage the tour, he won the second Test almost single-handed.
Pietersen has always lived perilously close to hubris. But where other players would think, "Ah, here comes the moment when I trip up", Pietersen covets boxing himself into a corner. Many players find the pressure of "having" to perform a terrible burden. But Pietersen often produces his very best when the options narrow to "score runs or else…"
Just as well. Because England need him now.

Cricinfo staff
January 4, 2008
The ICC will push to trial a player-driven appeal system for contentious decisions at the Champions Trophy in Pakistan in September. A series of mistakes in the second Test between Australia and India have highlighted the need for extra help for officials, but Malcolm Speed, the ICC chief executive, said any experiment would not be based on Hawkeye or the Snickometer.
Under the system a player on either team could appeal up to three decisions in an innings and they would be referred to the television umpire. "I don't think it will be trialled in Tests," Speed told the ABC. "There's a Champions Trophy coming up in Pakistan and that would be the time when all the best umpires and technology are there and we could get an idea of how it works."
Speed said the increased use of the replays would be to eliminate the "obvious glaring error", which has been a dominant feature of the opening two days in Sydney. Andrew Symonds and Ricky Ponting benefited from not-out decisions to catches behind in the first innings while Ponting was judged lbw to a ball he hit. Symonds also escaped a more thorough investigation of a critical stumping chance when Steve Bucknor did not call on the television umpire.
An appeal system was proposed by Speed and David Richardson, the ICC general manager of cricket, in 2006 and it passed through the organisation's cricket committee and chief executives. "Then we took it to the chairmen of the ICC's Full Member countries and the vote was 5-5," Speed said. "Pakistan led the fight against and Australia was against it too. Seven must vote in favour for an issue to be passed."
The referral was used in English county games last year - Speed said the players lost interest in it after a couple of matches - but he encouraged international testing. "Let's see if it works, then have the debate," he said. "I'm not concerned about the credibility of cricket. Generally there's a sense the decisions even themselves out. The dilemma is the technology has got better and what do we do with it?" Any changes to the current system must be passed by the ICC's country chairmen before they can be introduced.

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Title: Cutting Back Perennials in the Fall?
Answered by: Anne Van Nest
QUESTION:We have large beds of flowering native perennials that we planted around our house as part of a landscape conservation plan (various Joe-Pyes, goldenrods, turtlehead, blazing star, brown-eyed Susans). Fall is upon us in Montgomery County, MD, and we see lots of birds having a great time kicking around in the leaves from the trees that are littering the beds. In the past we've cleaned the beds out down to the mulch layer before winter, but I'm starting to wonder if this is best for the plants and animals. Do we have to clean out the tree leaves before winter to keep the plants healthy? Can we leave them, or will this promote too much disease?
The only parts of the garden that really need to be cleaned up well (down to the mulch or even replace this too) are any area around a seriously diseased plant. While native plants are generally disease and pest free, some problems like powdery mildew on phlox, leaf spot on bugbane, or overwintering leafminer on gaillardia could be serious enough to harm the plants. In this case all the affected foliage should be removed so that the fungus spores or insect eggs and pupa do not overwinter. For the rest of the garden, healthy woody perennials can often be left intact or pruned to 6 inches for the winter. Any seeds or insects still on the plant will be welcome food for the wildlife and the uncut stems will help collect insulating snow around the plant and give it extra protection as well as mark where the plants are located next spring.
Any fleshy perennials though (like touch-me-nots) should be removed in the fall since they will turn into a mushy mess after the first frost.
Leonard Perry of The University of Vermont Extension has posted a good information sheet on Fall Perennial Care online.

Former Jefferies Trader Jesse Litvak Loses in Plea to Drop US Tarp Charges
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Jerin Mathew | October 22, 2013 9:21 PM EST
A US District judge ruled that the former Jefferies Group managing director and senior trader, Jesse Litvak, must face criminal charges for defrauding the federal government by falsifying prices of mortgage securities in a bailout programme.
Litvak was indicted in January on charges of securities fraud, fraud connected to the Troubled Asset Relief Program (Tarp) and falsifying statements to the federal government.
Alleged victims of the fraud include investment funds, among them six established by the US Treasury Department in 2009 to deal with the financial crisis and bailouts.
Judge Janet Hall in New Haven, Connecticut, rejected Litvak's plea to dismiss charges against him. Litvak, who pleaded not guilty, had claimed that the accusation against him lacked sufficient evidence.
Hall noted that the question can only be taken into consideration at a trial.
"Inasmuch as that this argument is actually an attack on the government's evidence against Litvak, it is premature," she wrote in the judgement.
Litvak also argued that the public-private investment programme created to distribute Tarp funds was a private vehicle managed by a private contractor and therefore the government has no jurisdiction in the case.
However, Hall ruled that the public-private investment funds (PPIFs) were government created entities and mostly use taxpayer money for their operations.
"It is simply not the case that Litvak's interactions with the PPIFs would have been the same had the government not been an investor, for the PPIFs would not exist but for the government's decision to both create, fund and supervise them," she wrote.
First to Face Tarp Charges
The ruling has made Litvak the first one to face charges under a 2009 law to indict "major fraud" against the US through the TARP, according to US authorities.
Prosecutors say that Litvak generated more than $2.7m (£1.7m, €2m) of revenue for Jefferies by defrauding a number of funds, including participants in the public-private investment programme. Litvak had allegedly misrepresented prices of residential mortgage-backed securities in trades and benefitted from the differences between and buying and selling prices.
Litvak faces 11 counts of securities fraud, one count of TARP fraud and four counts of making false statements. If convicted, he could serve up to 20 years in prison on each count of securities fraud.
Jefferies is not accused of wrongdoing in the case. The company fired Litvak in December 2011.
Prosecutors say that Litvak used the gains from trades to help offset a plunge in his overall trading revenue, a key figure affecting his compensation.
The case is U.S. v. Litvak, 13-cr-00019, U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut.

If you thought Britain had joined the 21st century, think again.
Reading the comments on the news that golf's spiritual home, the Royal and Ancient of St Andrews, is likely to allow women to join is like glimpsing an excerpt from "Men are from Blandings, Women are Aunt Julias". P G Wodehouse's idyllic 1930s world, where the peace is shattered only by Jennifer Saunders as the bossy matriarch, lives on. The men fear that if St Andrews falls under the heel of the size four spiked, pastel golf shoe, they will have to wait hours for a tee time and, worse, be unable to escape their womenfolk.
As a woman golfer, I welcome the idea that women can, as members, enjoy the greatest, subtlest course in the world, where every breath of wind makes a difference to your approach. But I don't think it's particularly the blokedom of golf that is the problem. There are plenty of minor inequities – why do women need to put in a card every year to keep their handicap, for example? – but it's not the barmy, anti-female apartheid of those who run the game that spoils it. It's the (gender-blind) small mindedness.
I am often approached by women I have never met, in the ladies' changing room of the golf club to which I've belonged since 1974, with that curious expression of a she-lion dressed in plus fours, to ask me, "Are you a member?" (Well, why wouldn't I be?) And then there was the letter asking me never to bring my (trying hard to be smart) nephews again, dressed as they were in their best black jeans and my sneakers. Or the woman who, seeing me sitting blamelessly on the terrace, thought I was in need of some gratuitous bossing-about and ordered me not to go into the clubhouse with my spikes on.
David Hockney's very small badge with the slogan "End Bossyness Soon" is one of my favourite battlecries. (He decided on "soon" because he thought "now" sounded too bossy). Golf clubs can be great; they are an important haven of camaraderie for older people who have maybe lost a partner, a cosy refuge where they are always welcome. I just wish their oldster bent towards a Val Doonican-meets-Stepford Wife dress code could be widened a bit so that everyone could co-exist.
My beef is more with the laminator mentality. Let loose with a set of poorly spelled regulations on a plastic sheet, these people run amok. Today it's dress code in the bar; tomorrow, the world. Tom Cox's excellent book Nice Jumper describes the invisible ceiling in the club he nicknames Par-adise, which he tries to join as a young man, and which judges him on his father's clapped-out car rather than on his ricochetingly powerful and accurate golf swing. My lovely father used to wear whatever he liked and didn't take any notice of any rules. Being a man, he could do that, and if women ever feel that comfortable in a golf club, I'll be delighted. But their gender isn't the real issue.

Gomez's catch preserves Brewers' 4-3 win over Reds
Carlos Gomez robbed Joey Votto of a potential go-ahead homer with a spectacular catch in center field in the ninth inning, saving the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.
Jonathan Lucroy homered for the third consecutive game for last-place Milwaukee, which had dropped three of four. Jean Segura had three hits off Homer Bailey in the right-hander's first start since his second career no-hitter.
But Gomez made the biggest play of the game when he made a perfectly timed jump to grab Votto's drive to center for the final out of the game, sending a charge through the crowd on an otherwise sleepy night at Miller Park.
Kyle Lohse (5-6) pitched into the seventh inning for his fourth consecutive winning decision.

Is a sigh "just a sigh"? Sighs as emotional signals and responses to a difficult task

- Sigh;
- emotional expressions;
- self-other asymmetry;
- problem solving
Sighing and the interpretation of sighs in everyday life seem never to have been the subject of psychological research. A questionnaire study of sighing showed that people associate sighing mainly with negative, low-intensity and deactivated emotional states. A second study investigated self/other differences in the interpretation of sighs in four hypothetical situations, revealing that sighs in other people are primarily perceived as signs of sadness, whereas own sighs are more often believed to express a state of "giving up" something or somebody. In a third experimental study participants worked on difficult (insoluble) puzzles, which generated many futile solution attempts, often accompanied by sighs. It is concluded that sighs are often unintentional expressions of an activity, plan or desire that has to be discarded, creating a pause before it can be replaced by a novel initiative.

12 facts about the census through history
As Canada grapples with the Conservative government's decision to make the long-form census voluntary in 2011, we give you a dozen famous censuses.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
As Canada grapples with the Conservative government's decision to make the long-form census voluntary in 2011, here are a dozen famous and notable censuses through the ages.
1. The first known census was taken by the Babylonians in 3800 B.C. and counted not just people and livestock, but butter, honey, milk, wool and vegetables.
2. The ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Persian and Mauryan empires did regular censuses.
3. China counted 16 million people in a census it did more than 4,000 years ago. The only ancient surviving written census is also Chinese, from the Han Dynasty in 2 A.D.
4. The Roman Empire conducted a census every five years, including a famous one that forced a very pregnant Mary and her carpenter husband Joseph to go to Bethlehem, where their son was born.
5. Some people argue that Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt was a divinely inspired census.
6. The most famous census in medieval Europe is William I of England's Domesday Book in 1086. It is generally regarded as the first record of "who owns what" in the English-speaking world. The book lists not just the value of a landowner's house, but the land, the plow teams (eight oxen to a team), the rivers, woods, fisheries, meadows and peasants.
7. The first census in Canada was the 1666 census of New France by Jean Talon. The first formal census of the country was in 1871.
8. In 1769, Denmark-Norway conducted the first census of all its population, including women and children. Previously, they had only been numbers.
9. The 2001 U.K. census uncovered 390,000 people who gave their religion as Jedi, written in the "other" category. This set off a discussion about whether it was a sign that more young people were involved or that the count hadn't been treated with due gravitas.
10. Not everyone co-operates with census takers. Gangster Al Capone was famously not at home when the enumerator called on April 3, 1930, at 7244 Prairie Ave. in Chicago, although his wife and mother were counted.
11. A presumably vain New York City political warlord "Boss" Tweed refused to give his age to the census taker in 1870, as did the founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, in 1900.
12. India is in the throes of a debate about whether to include caste, or social status, in its 2010 census for the first time since 1931. Critics argue it is a vestige of a class-ridden society that modern India is trying to abolish. Advocates contend that caste still governs much of Indian society and ignoring it means that inequity to the lower castes can be ignored.

Fed official sees housing steadying; inflation a worry
Send this to a friend
- Terry Boyd
- Staff Writer
(Page 5 of 8)
So you think we're getting to a price reflective of value rather than reflective of speculation and irresponsible lending practices?
"I think the prices now are not too far away from the fundamental values.
"I'll tell you a story. (Look at housing) prices as they were in 2001, which was a recession year. And look at something like the S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index (which tracks national residential real estate market trends), because that's the most controversial one. … Suppose that grew at the same rate as the nominal GDP so there would be some inflation component there, some real component.
"If you did that until today, you'd be at the same level of house prices that we are at. Now, the actual path of the Case-Shilller index went way up, then it came way down. So it was just a different route to the same point.
"I think if housing prices had just grown at that same rate as nominal GDP, no one would have been talking about a housing price bubble. There wouldn't have been this crisis over housing.
"So that makes me take some comfort in the idea that prices are not too far away from a fundamental value. Nominal GDP has an inflation component, but household incomes are rising, so that should give you some idea of where the fundamental (value) is."
What are your biggest concerns?
"Higher inflation we're seeing is a primary concern."
Well, the Fed can't tell OPEC to increaseproduction.
"No, we can't. So what we can do is keep the U.S. inflation rate … under control and stable."
You do that through monetary policy, which means you make money more expensive, right?

Robert Pirès scores goal, adds assist in Greek friendly (video)
Aug 27, 2013, 5:40 PM EST
While his former club Arsenal battles the stress of extreme fan and media scrutiny, French World Cup winner Robert Pirès has been living out his retirement in Greece. But recently, he went to watch a friendly between two local, nonprofessional teams and found himself right back on the pitch.
The 39-year-old was in the coastal town of Rafina, presumably soaking up the sun, when he was spotted in the stands. Storm Rafina asked him to play, and he came on in the second half as the team trailed AO Mykonos. Pirès took up his customary position on left wing, and he scored a goal and provided an assist in what would ultimately be a 3-2 win for Rafina.
Pirès, the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup Player of the Tournament and three-time selection to the Professional Footballers' Association Team of the Year, showed that class really is permanent, although the match looked to be played at just above walking pace.

This post comes from user Betty Wayne in the group Sex 101 in our TrèsSugar Community. Feel free to weigh in in the comments!
Phthalates are added to plastics to make them more flexible. They are found in damn near everything: catheters, paint, shower curtains, glue, and sex toys. Phthalates have been linked to reproductive, liver, and kidney problems, as well as cancer. In the US, a law was passed under the Bush Jr administration banning phthalates in children's toys above a concentration of more than 0.1%. There is no regulation in the sex toy industry as far a phthalate content.
Green Peace in the Netherlands commissioned a study, to be performed by TNO Built Environment and Geosciences, to measure the phthalate levels in sex toys. They tested eight sex toys, and found that only one did not contain phthalates. The other seven contained phthalates ranging in concentration from 24% to 49%. Keep in mind, children's toys can't contain more than 0.1%.
The only toy that did not contain phthalates was the "Cyber Pussy." Since phthalates are used to soften plastics, you can avoid them by using toys made from hard plastic, glass, stainless steel, or acrylic, or by having real sex. Condoms do not contains phthalates. Also, toys leak more and more phthalates as they age, so the older a toy is, the more toxic it can be. Here is a PDF of the Green Peace study.

Red Hat calls for patent truce
Red Hat has called on Microsoft to promise publicly and in writing not to use software patents against users and individual developers of open source software.
"Let's leave customers out of this debate," Red Hat's deputy general counsel Mark Webbink told delegates at the LinuxWorld tradeshow in San Francisco.
"If Microsoft has intellectual property that needs to be respected, come to Red Hat, come to Novell, but leave our customers out of it. There is no cost to Microsoft for doing this and it would prove their sincerity."
Webbink asked for a similar promise towards developers, pointing out that there is little sense in going after individual developers because they cannot afford to pay large legal settlements or licence fees anyway.
Microsoft has said in the past that it does not have a problem with open source as a technology, but Webbink argued that a public statement would give that claim credibility.
Software patents are a major problem not just for open source but for software in general, according to Webbink.
While patents serve a purpose in other industries such as pharmaceuticals, they are only used to "tax competition" in software, preventing competitors from entering the market.
