Reg standard unit of paranoia...
is obviously the (tinfoil hat)/(black helicopter) ratio in the area concerned.
so the more tinfoil hats per black helicopter in a given area, the higher the paranoia levels. the US has lots of black helicopters, but also a lot of paranoid people, probably comes to about ten.
tinfoil hat donned.

Minister defends National ID Register security
It was an Ident-i-Eeze, and was a very naughty and silly thing for Harl
to have lying around in his wallet, though it was perfectly
understandable. There were so many different ways in which you were
required to provide absolute proof of your identity these days that life
could easily become extremely tiresome just from that factor alone,
never mind the deeper existential problems of trying to function as a
coherent consciousness in an epistemologically ambiguous physical
universe. Just look at cash point machines, for instance. Queues of
people standing around waiting to have their fingerprints read, their
retinas scanned, bits of skin scraped from the nape of the neck and
undergoing instant (or nearly instant ? a good six or seven seconds in
tedious reality) genetic analysis, then having to answer trick questions
about members of their family they didn't even remember they had, and
about their recorded preferences for tablecloth colours. And that was
just to get a bit of spare cash for the weekend. If you were trying to
raise a loan for a jetcar, sign a missile treaty or pay an entire
restaurant bill things could get really trying.
Hence the Ident-i-Eeze. This encoded every single piece of information
about you, your body and your life into one all-purpose machine-readable
card that you could then carry around in your wallet, and therefore
represented technology's greatest triumph to date over both itself and
plain common sense.

my connection in oz is 16 GB then flat rate of $4/GB, charged pro-rata per Mb, but they still _reserve the right to_ shape p2p between 4pm-1am if the network is saturated. It is, however, clearly in the ToS. Also, 1am-9am is counted at half the speed i.e download 2gb only 1 is counted. Also i have a fixed IP and they explicitly permit running servers on the website frontpage. <rot13>nnarg</rot13> if anyone is interested.

'Death Star' galaxy blasts neighbour
No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us...

The lights are on
Member - Level 2
The IM world is full of
pointless courses that don't offer anything new. It is rare to find a
course like Commission Jailbreak that covers the specifics of making
money with online marketing. The main goal of the course is to set you
on the right path so that you can start taking advantage of Youtube
offers and making a profit. The best part about this system is that it
has been designed by none other than Jared Croslow, who has give the
Internet marketing industry successful products such as SEO Cockpit and
Auto Content Cash. Given below is a hands-on review that shows us why
this course is unique and why it's worth the money.Commission Jailbreak
Youtube marketing can be a complicated business if you don't know what
you're doing. Knowing this, the creator of Commission Jailbreak decided
it was important to teach multiple methods for getting offers to target
audiences. Commission Jailbreak is different from many other products
because the focus is on identifying the group you want to target rather
than the items you want to promote. This allows you to reach out to the
your prospects easily by offering them free content such as eBooks,
videos, audio, etc. This is how you draw your audience in to fill out
the Youtube offer form in exchange for what you're offering them.
Everybody wins! Commission jailbreak review
This course is devoted to one strategy, using free content, for getting
visitors to respond to your Youtube offer. You'll find that the lessons
taught in Commission Jailbreak for this strategy are spot on. Traffic
can be gained in huge numbers by choosing topics that are trending and
finding low competition keywords to rank well in the search engines
with.The biggest benefit for many with this course is that it
teaches concepts that are new and fresh. Not many Youtube marketing
courses go into finding demographics and using them to target their
audience. The best part about this strategy is that there isn't much
competition because the majority of the Internet marketers are busy
using methods like article marketing and video marketing to reach out to
their market. If you follow, to the letter, the things the course
teaches you will have plenty of time to establish yourself before facing
any major competition. The one major drawback of this course is the
fact that it doesn't teach how to get accepted by various Youtube
networks. This is a crucial area that should have been covered because
many new Internet marketers find it hard to get accepted by them. But
nevertheless, there's a lot of free information available online
regarding this, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Commission Jailbreak
In conclusion, Commission Jailbreak is a comprehensive Youtube
marketing course that offers all the tools you need to succeed. This
course is worth purchasing as long as you implement the information you
are taught.

Found January 04, 2013 on BlackSportsOnline:
PLAYERS: Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian gets called a lot of names. It comes with the territory of being a celebrity who burst on the scene via a sex tape. Throw in the fact she is having a baby with her boyfriend while being married to another man, as you can imagine the Twitter and Facebook insults were every more vicious. Kimmy's mom says you have no right to judge as she co-signed this comment. When Kris Jenner reposted this here is what she said. "By the way.. I think it's true! LOL," she wrote. "I'M SO HAPPY FOR KIM AND KANYE, and everybody's free to say whatever they want " I assume if you are 16 with four kids you would have had to have your first kid when you were 10? Either way, while it wasn't said in the nicest way, her point is don't throw stones unless you live in the House of Tebow.

@tmf42 that sounds great. Hope they can do some talent spotting and get a replacement for Kimi in the same lines when he decides to retire eventually. So sick of hearing this driving style argument this whole year.
melkurion commented on the post, Bianchi suffered brain injury in crash 1 month, 2 weeks ago

Trading in foreign currency is a delicate balance where traders seek to benefit from fluctuations in the value of currencies against each other.
Unfortunately, many new forex traders approach the currency market the same way a gambler would approach a roulette table in Vegas rather than how a CEO would approach a business investment.
Though trading in currency shares some similarities with gambling, the two should never be confused or even said in the same breath.
To help the average beginner prosper in the exciting, highly profitable world of foreign exchange, here are a few tips and tricks.
Get an Education
This is arguably the most important tip any beginner should know. And just like in real life, forex education never ends so even the best and most advanced trader will always have something new to learn about the FX market.
There are very many sources of forex education. You can start slow at your own pace and convenience by accessing many of the free online tutorials.
For a faster learning curve, you can subscribe to any of the many forex education courses conducted by professionals.
Additionally, there are many books, websites, ebooks, journals, and articles that can help anyone interested in trading foreign currency.
Once you start learning the main concepts of currency trading through education, you should now put them into practice. This will prepare you for managing a live account when you are ready to trade.
The best way to practice is by using a virtual account, which is also referred to as a demo account, a paper account, or a practice account.
This is a forex trading account provided by online brokers to enable traders make trade decisions based on real live market conditions without risking any real money. With a demo account, you can develop a trading plan and profitable strategy and thoroughly test it.
Choose a Broker
Every trader needs a platform to use for exchange currency and forex trading platforms are provided mainly by online brokers. Your choice of broker has the capability of either building you or totally ruining you. The worst type of broker you can choose is one who fleeces clients and disappears with their money.
Apart from such thieves, there are also brokers in operation who don't really have the necessary expertise to assist traders make a successful career out of trading currency.
These brokers may not be criminals and thieves, but they lack the capacity, ability, and resources to help you trade profitably.
Choose a broker who not only has the knowledge, experience, and expertise to guide you in your trades, but one who is close to the tier-1 financiers. This will help you get the best rates and the tightest spreads for your currency exchange.
Develop a Trading Strategy
We can do well by copying others but the best results come when we do what fits personal style. This is very true when it comes to currency trading. You have to be yourself and have a personal trading style that suits your individuality.
That way, your trades will match your personal schedule and your areas of interest. If you have a day job then it would suit you better to trade overseas markets that are open when you are at home.
If you have a deep interest in oil then you might be better suited exchanging currencies from oil producing countries.
You have a better chance of becoming an expert trader if you have a strong passion for what you are doing.
Learn Accurate Analysis
Depending on your chosen currency pair and your individual trading style, you will need to learn how to accurately read the market and predict future prices.
This is key to forex success as all your profits will come from accurately predicting future price direction for at least two currencies at a time.
There are two main types of market analysis and these are fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Most trading strategies require a combination of both types of market analysis.
Take time to discover exactly how to combine the different analysis methods for optimal results.
It is very important that you approach forex trading as a serious business investment. The first thing any focused business person learns is the need and importance for well-kept records.
Journal all your trades and every transaction and include your decision-making process in the records.
This will help you in future market analysis as you will continuously learn from your mistakes and build on your gains.

The Education Tax Policy Institute in Columbus released a new report that says the tax burden in Ohio has shifted significantly since the early 1990s, from businesses onto farmers and homeowners, to the detriment of school districts and local governments. Much hay is being made over this report by the usual suspects, including the alphabet soup of education groups (BASA, OASBO, and OSBA) who commissioned it. Here are a few examples of media coverage the report has garnered:
While this report is interesting and describes changes to the state's property-tax policy over the years, it doesn't offer much in the way of takeaways. The shift in the property-tax burden over time is likely borne of necessity, as Ohio works to ensure that its business-tax structure is competitive with that of other states. The implication, though, is that the shift has somehow harmed education funding. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to be true, as...
Inter-district open enrollment often flies under the radar in discussions about school choice. It may be that way because it has been around so long (established in 1989 and operating in its current form since 1998); perhaps because it is not universally available or because many of the most-desirable districts do not allow open enrollment; or perhaps because it is choice "within the family" (that is, the traditional district family). Despite its usual low-profile, two recent newspaper stories shined light on the topic of open enrollment, showing a disconnect between those administering this unsung school choice program and those who actually use it.
From a district's point of view, open enrollment can easily devolve into "just business" – dollars in and dollars out to be accounted for year after year. Just check out this story from Hancock County in Northwest Ohio. Net financial "winners"—those districts that have more open-enrollee students coming in than leaving—seem to be fine with the system, as might be expected. But net financial "losers" are objecting more strenuously as the losses go on. Their objections, however, often have very little to do with why students are attending a school outside of their "home" district. In fact, most of the district officials quoted in this in-depth piece don't even seem curious as to why large numbers of their residents are opting to go somewhere else when given the opportunity – even when seizing that "opportunity" requires jumping through several hoops.
When long application lines and even...
Earlier this year, two articles published in the Columbus Dispatch claimed that students using vouchers to attend private schools in Ohio perform worse than their peers attending public schools. The focus of the March 8 article and the subsequent March 16 editorial was on extending the third grade reading guarantee to students using vouchers (a measure eventually signed into law). In an effort to bolster this argument, the article referenced data suggesting that 36 percent of third-grade voucher students would be retained compared to only 34 percent of public school students. Other articles in the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Canton Repository made similar comparisons that negatively portrayed the performance of students using an EdChoice Scholarship. However, Test Comparison Summary data released this week by the Ohio Department of Education shows a very different picture of how voucher students are performing. The key is using the right comparison group.
The data used in the articles referenced above incorrectly grouped the results of all public school students in the state, including many affluent public schools, and then compared their results with those of voucher students. However, these scholarships are not available to all students. Students are only eligible for a traditional EdChoice Scholarship if they attended or otherwise would be assigned to a "low-performing" public school. Many such schools are located in Ohio's less-affluent urban areas. Accordingly, the most accurate comparison is to examine the test results of students receiving EdChoice vouchers with the...
While some folks are busy marching and complaining and "going to war" over ed reform and school choice efforts. And while pundits are looking for the next big thing to boost student achievement and promote the best and brightest in teaching and accountability, there is one place where the arguments are already settled.
I found a little bit of peace last week in this place - an oasis where all school choice is fait accompli. All options coexist happily and productively, geography doesn't matter much, and student success is the only thing on folks' minds.
Where is this Shangri-la? The school uniform store.
In this serene place, charter schools commingle with district schools and with private schools of all stripes (Catholic, Christian, nonsectarian). Schools from a 25-mile radius are all represented there with no turf battles or rivalries, even though their various sports gear is side-by-side.
The staff of the store is friendly and helpful to all who come in, whatever school they have chosen, and they are knowledgeable about the requirements for all those schools and make sure that parents know that this skirt is required and that top is optional. To them, it's all about the right fit. Literally.
Wouldn't it be great if we could substitute the word "uniform" for "options" and everything else stay the same?...

For 17 years, Farley's House of Pianos has been sponsoring and planning a "piano playathon" fund raiser.
"We bring attention to playing the piano and the joys it gives everybody as well as raising money for a very worthwhile cause."
About 300 pianists will get pledges or donations... to give to a charity children can relate to.
This year they hope to meet or exceed the annual goal of 10-thousand dollars for U-W American Family Children's Hospital.
All the money goes to the "Child Life" program, which is *not* supported by patient funds or insurance.
Several rooms are set up as "non treatment" rooms, where kids can be kids.
" Sometimes the children that are patients there have very serious problems that medically they cannot share toys with others. So these have to be new things that they play with that they may take home. All of these things require funding! "
So here are the details:
The Keyed Up for Kids Piano Playathon is this Saturday, February 7th at Hilldale Mall in Madison.
It runs from 9am to 6:30pm and you can drop donations there on the spot!

Jets need Wings to take flight
Outshoot, outplay visitors to record a solid victory
Winnipeg may have owed the Detroit Red Wings Monday night's NHL result, but the Jets' 4-2 victory had significance beyond the 17-year-old debt.
How about this for starters: If you'll play the right way, many things are possible.
"I thought we played the right way tonight, and played it for 60 minutes, which was good to see," said Jets coach Claude Noel after his team snapped a three-game losing streak and came sharply out of a funk that had seen them record just one win in the previous seven.
"Our effort was good. It's nerve-racking a bit because you play that way against Detroit and you're waiting for things to happen and then it kind of scares you. Our guys were really strong. We've been bitten more than once."
The Jets limited their gaffes in the dangerous areas -- aside, one supposes, from Dustin Byfuglien's three inopportune blown tires -- and despite some adversity in the second period that saw them fall behind 2-1 after getting the game's first goal, they rallied strongly.
"I think a big thing was we didn't get down on ourselves," said centre Mark Scheifele, who had assists on goals by both his wingers, Michael Frolik and Matt Halischuk, the game-tying and game-winning goals. "We knew we made some mistakes but I think on the bench, guys were saying, 'We're still in this, we've still got lots of game.'
"I think that was a huge character part of our team."
-- Jets coach Claude Noel on the line of Scheifele, Frolik and Halischuk, which combined for two goals Monday including the game-winner by Halischuk
Winnipeg, putting a small dent in a 17-year-old debt to Detroit, improved to 6-8-2.
Third line shines
Scheifele, Frolik and Halischuk were responsible for getting the team over the hump on the scoresheet, more evidence that secondary production matters a great deal on many nights.
"They were flying all night," said Jets defenceman Zach Bogosian. "They were on pucks, they turned over a lot of pucks, made them turn over pucks. They're a good line when they're doing that. It was good to see them kind of clicking tonight. It was a really good thing to see, everybody chipping in."
Noel said there is now something brewing with the trio.
"I've liked them for a couple of games," said the coach, who has changed his lines around multiple times already this season. "They were probably our best line (last game). They just seem to have some chemistry. That's the first thing you seem to notice.
"They're reliable defensively. They check, so they're reliable in that situation. Now the chemistry looks like it's coming through; they're figuring out where to go. It's providing some offence."
Shoot it up
The Jets tied their season-high 47 shots on goal on Monday night, and that without their top shots-on-goal skater, left-winger Evander Kane.
Kane was out with a lower-body injury on Monday.
"It means we've got to keep shooting, I guess," Bogosian said. "If the lane's there, we have to make sure they're getting through. We have to have that shoot-first mentality and crash and bang at the rebounds."
That barrage helped end Detroit's three-game western-Canada winning streak, started with decisions in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. The Wings fell to 9-5-2.
Al's their pal
Back-up goalie Al Montoya provided more solid play in his third start of the season, making 26 saves.
"You can't ask for much more from our guys out there," Montoya said. "We did a great job against a very offensive team, a very skilled team. And it just goes to show we can play against anyone on any given night."
"He made some very huge and timely saves for us throughout the game," Halischuk added. "He's done that this year for us several times. I think it was starting with him tonight and goes out from there."

FORT WORTH -- The judge presiding over a defendant's challenge to the ethics of the Tarrant County district attorney's office recessed the hearing Thursday and ordered a forensic examination of the computers of two witnesses.The witnesses -- one of whom is a deputy Tarrant County constable -- testified that they could not remember emails they supposedly sent and conversations that they might have had relating to the case.The computer report may shed light on whether attorney Rebecca Lucas helped her husband, Tarrant County District Attorney Joe Shannon Jr., build a case against attorney Mario Perez, according to Perez's attorneys.Or the reports may help show what the district attorney's office is maintaining: that Perez's move to remove the district attorney's office from prosecuting him is a diversionary tactic meant to draw attention away from his conduct.Perez has been indicted on six counts of fraudulent tampering with a government record. The indictment accuses him of making false entries on campaign finance reports filed in May 2009 for a candidate for the Arlington school board.Lucas handled the divorce case for Perez's wife, Azzah. Mario Perez says Lucas gave Shannon confidential information about him which was used in preparing the tampering case.Mario Perez has asked the district attorney's office to recuse itself from his case and is asking state District Judge George Gallagher to appoint a new attorney to prosecute the charges.In ordering the computer analysis, state District Judge George Gallagher said he would also try to determine whether any Tarrant County equipment was used for personal gain.Mitch Mitchell, 817-390-7752Twitter: @mitchmitchel3

(Total Colectomy; Partial Colectomy; Colon Removal)
Pronounced: ko-LEK-tuh-meeEn Español (Spanish Version)
An operation to remove all or part of the colon. The colon, or large intestine, is the lower part of the intestines.
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
Colectomy is performed to treat a variety of conditions, including the following:
- Colorectal cancer
- Inflammatory intestinal diseases (eg, colitis , Crohn's disease )
- Intestinal obstruction
- Trauma to the intestine
- Diverticular disease
- Precancerous polyps, especially those seen in familial polyposis
- Colonic perforation
- Bleeding from the colon
Risk Factors for Complications During the Procedure
- Having neurological, cardiovascular, or respiratory conditions
- Age: older than 70 years
- Obesity
- Smoking
- Previous abdominal surgery
- Acute perforation or infection
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Physical exam
- Blood tests
- Ultrasound exam of the abdomen—a test that uses sound waves to visualize the inside of the abdomen
- Barium X-ray —x-ray exam of the abdomen, after swallowing a barium drink and/or receiving a barium enema
- CT Scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of the inside of the body
- MRI Scan —a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of the inside of the body
- Colonoscopy with biopsy samples—visual exam and removal of tissue inside of the large intestine using a flexible tube that is attached to a light and a viewing device
In the days leading up to your procedure:
- Drink at least eight, 8-ounce glasses of water daily.
- Follow a special diet, if recommended by your surgeon.
- Follow your doctor's instructions for cleansing your colon.
- Take antibiotics, if prescribed by your doctor.
- You may need to shower the night before your procedure using antibacterial soap.
- Arrange to have someone drive you to and from the procedure, and for help at home.
- The night before, eat a light meal or drink clear liquids as directed, and do not eat or drink anything after midnight unless told otherwise by your doctor.
- Wear comfortable clothing.
You will receive general anesthesia for the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
The surgery will be done one of two ways:
- Open colectomy—surgeon makes a single long incision
- Laparoscopic colectomy—several smaller incisions to allow special instruments to be used
In a partial colectomy, only part of your colon is removed. Your surgeon sews the open ends of the intestine together after the central portion has been removed.
In a total colectomy, all of your colon is removed. A colostomy or ileostomy will need to be done to create a path for waste to leave your body.
Your surgeon makes a small opening, called a stoma, in the front of your abdominal wall. The open end of your intestine is then pulled through the abdominal wall and attached to the skin. Your waste will exit your body through this opening. You will wear a pouch, or an ostomy bag, on the outside of your body, where waste material will be collected. The stoma may be either temporary or permanent.
Colostomy Pouch
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
A colostomy or ileostomy may also be done if your intestine needs time to heal and rest after a partial colectomy.
Your surgeon will close the muscles and skin of the abdomen with stitches or staples, and applies a sterile dressing.
After Procedure
The removed tissue will be sent to a lab for examination.
How Long Will It Take
The procedure takes 1 to 4 hours or more.
Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia is given to prevent pain during the surgery. Pain is common during recovery. You will receive medicine to help manage the pain.
Possible Complications
- Damage to neighboring organs or structures
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Hernia at the incision site
- Blood clots in the vein ( phlebitis ) that may travel to the lungs ( pulmonary embolism )
- Hematoma (accumulation of blood in the wound)
- Pneumonia and other risks of general anesthesia
Average Hospital Stay
5 to 6 days
Postoperative Care
You will receive instructions about diet and activity. During the first few days after surgery, you may be restricted from eating. You will need to take it easy for 1 to 2 months.
If you have a colostomy:
- A specialized nurse will teach you how to care for the stoma site and change the ostomy bag
- You will progress from a clear liquid to a bland, low-fiber diet; avoid high-fiber foods, including corn, celery, apples, nuts, popcorn, grapes, and other foods with hulls, peels, and seed
- You will likely be able to return to your regular diet 6 to 8 weeks after surgery
- Alert your physicians and pharmacist that you cannot take medications that are considered time-released or time-sustained
- Do not use laxatives because postcolostomy stools are usually quite liquid
- Drink eight, 8-ounce glasses of liquid daily because extra fluids will be lost in your stool
The outcome varies depending on why you had the colectomy. If you have colon cancer and the entire cancerous area is removed with a colectomy, your outcome is good. A colectomy may also reduce your risk of developing colon cancer if you had it to treat a precancerous condition, including familial polyposis, ulcerative colitis , or colon polyps . Most people who have colectomies go on to live normal, active lives, and the colon adapts to return bowel activity to normal.
Call Your Doctor If Any of the Following Occurs
It is essential for you to check your recovery once you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe nausea or vomiting
- Pain, burning, urgency, frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs, or sudden shortness of breath or chest pain
- Diarrhea
- Blood in your stool, or black, tarry stools
- Severe abdominal pain
- Feeling weak or dizzy
- Irregular urination
- Bleeding from the stoma
- Not collecting stool in the ostomy pouch

main index
"Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam."
"Furthermore, I think Carthage must be destroyed."
- Cato the Elder. Closing line of all his speeches.
"The great Carthage waged three wars. It was still powerful after the first, still habitable after the second. It was untraceable after the third."These were a series of wars fought between The Roman Republic and Carthage. The basic explanation for them seems to be that there were only two major powers left (though many minor ones), none to provide a third to assure Balance of Power and the Mediterranean sea just wasn't big enough for both. The first one started when a group of mercenaries around what is now Messina in Sicily called the Mamertines declared themselves an independent kingdom and asked for protection from Syracuse. Their critical strategic position caused both Rome and Carthage to rush to offer their protection and to collide with one another touching off a general war. The Romans succeeded on land making themselves the dominant power in Sicily. At sea there was a remarkable upset in which the lubberly Romans took on the Carthaginians who were recognized as a Badass Navy and swept them from the sea (mostly by getting their own Badass Army from their ships to those of their enemies via a drawbridge-like device known as the corvus). The Second War started in Spain in a similar manner, as a quarrel over the fate of a small state, this time the city-state of Saguntum. However it appears to have been a deliberately engineered provocation by the famous Hannibal Barca, a Carthaginian noble who was ruling Spain in the name of the Carthaginian empire but almost as a private kingdom. Upon the declaration of war, Hannibal made a surprise march over the Alps and invaded Italy, winning several battles including Cannae, a battle which is still a catchword among connoisseurs of tactical virtuosity. The Romans recovered by their desperate gathering from any possible source of Reserves including slaves. Deciding that they couldn't match Hannibal they pinned him in Italy using the strategy devised by Fabius Maximus Cunctator (Fabius the Great Delayer). In the meantime Roman legions began tearing up the rest of Carthage's empire to leave Hannibal isolated. During this time the general Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus better remembered as just Scipio Africanus (literally Scipio [conqueror] of Africa), from the Scipio family gained prominence with his victories in Spain. On his suggestion the Romans landed close to Carthage forcing Hannibal to return to defend it. Scipio and Hannibal met on the field of Zama, and Scipio won leaving Rome as the greatest power in the Mediterranean and well on its way to becoming The Empire. While the First War seems to have been a mutual collision, and the Romans could arguably claim to be fighting in self-defense in the Second, the Third War was a genuine Kick the Dog While It's Down on Rome's part. The best that can be said in extenuation is that every family in Rome was mourning someone and they would be more than human not to want Carthage destroyed. Yet by that time, the Empire of Carthage had been reduced to the City of Carthage. The Third Punic War was thus simply the siege of Carthage, which didn't stand a chance from the start. The Romans overcame desperate resistance, sacked Carthage and according to legend "sowed the fields with salt" to keep anything from growing. This was the end of the wars. Rome seems to have triumphed through its superior organization. It is also credited with a more motivated populace, as the army of Carthage was composed chiefly of vassals and mercenaries whereas the Roman army was made up of citizens and near citizens. Rome could also, for that reason, field a greater supply of manpower. Finally Carthage itself may have been lax in its support until too late, and the Second War at times looks like a private war of Hannibal's. The war created a number of famous commanders, mostly on the Roman side, but the best remembered was the Carthaginian Hannibal. The term Punic Wars, by the way, comes from the term Punici or Poenici, which is the Latin word for Phoenicians (members of that civilization founded Carthage in the 9th century BC). Carthaginians may have called it "the Roman wars" for all we know, but their perspective is unfortunately lacking for obvious reasons. Most sources for the history of the Punic Wars are either Roman or Greek. Also technically the longest war in history, due to the mayors of Rome and Carthage signing a peace treaty in 1985 "officially" ending the war.

A new attention disorder just may be arriving at a pharmacy near you. While questions of over diagnosing in the six million-plus children stamped with the label of ADD and ADHD arise, a group of psychologists are touting the validity of "sluggish cognitive tempo."
The trademarks of the disorder include lethargy, daydreaming and slow mental processing. Some researches claim at least two million children could have the disorder. In fact some of the condition researches are already working with Eli Lilly pharm giant on how their flagship ADHD drug could treat it. Hmmmm. Take that as you will.
While some researchers claim the argument for the new condition is clear, others are fighting back.
"We're seeing a fad in evolution: Just as A.D.H.D. has been the diagnosis du jour for 15 years or so, this is the beginning of another," said Dr. Allen Frances, an emeritus professor of psychiatry at Duke University. "This is a public health experiment on millions of kids."
Turns out where you live has a huge bearing on what fertility treatments you may get. More than ten percent of women face infertility and a new map released this week shows huge disparities by state for support and insurance coverage for fertility treatments.
"You've got more than 25 states with a 'C' grade or worse. From my perspective, that does not bode well," said Barbara Collura, president and CEO of Resolve, a nonprofit that promotes reproductive health. "Infertility is a disease that affects millions of people. What this map is showing is that there are huge disparities based on where you live."
Where's Louisiana on that list? We have a big fat C. Check the map for more info on what that means and how you can take action.
Turns out all those viral videos we "waste" time watching could be the key to one four-year-old girl's life. Eliza O'Neill was diagnosed with a rare neuro disorder recently (Sanfillippo, which kills most diagnosed by their teens and attacks the brain around age five or six) and her parents took to the internet.
They searched first for info — finding out a group was ready to test a therapy but lacked funding — and then on how to make a viral video — to raise the $2.5 million needed to start the trial.
A filmmaker caught wind of their struggle and documented the family in a new video that has raised more than $500,000 in six months.
"There is no cure. Even if the O'Neills manage to raise the $2.5 million, they know it doesn't guarantee Eliza will be helped. She may not qualify for the trial, though researchers think she probably will. The trial may not work. And there are always risks with any unproven therapy.
With no other treatments available, those risks seem minor when weighed against the certain death that awaits Sanfilippo kids.
'As a parent, you have to be the advocate for your child," Cara said. "You have to give them the best shot possible. And this is her best shot.'"

Man, 46, found guilty of murder, armed burglary
A 46-year-old man was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder and armed burglary with assault or battery in the 2009 slaying of 70-year-old Lola Faulk.
Raymond Wayne Breeden now faces life in prison.
In July 2009, Faulk's grandson found his grandmother brutally beaten and shot to death inside of her Shellcracker Road home. The victim's dog was also found deceased, lying on top of the victim's body.
Breeden and two co-defendants broke into Faulk's home to commit a burglary, an investigation revealed.
Several items were taken from the home, including a large television. In the midst of the burglary, Faulk was shot multiple times in the head and struck with a concrete block.
Breeden's sentencing date will be set on July 28.
