Rapid responses by Turkey's health authorities and key health personnel were critical in bringing the 2006 bird flu outbreak under control, according to research published in the online open access journal, BMC Public Health. Those involved cite poverty and families sharing their homes with poultry as factors behind the virus' transfer to humans.
During early 2006, 12 avian influenza cases were confirmed in Turkey, of which eight cases occurred in the Dogubeyazit-Van region. Ozlem Sarikaya of the University of Marmara, Istanbul and Tugrul Erbaydar of the University of Yuzuncu Yil, Van, conducted in-depth interviews with senior health professionals to evaluate attempts to control the outbreak.
The authors found that, although a crisis committee was created quickly, healthcare workers felt anxious and ill-prepared due to a lack of clarity about their responsibilities in emergency disease plans, and delays in receiving protective clothing. The researchers also found that the coordination between the human and animal health services was not sufficient. Despite these difficulties, open communication between the government and the public, as well as the health authorities' and health workers' efforts, helped control the epidemic. Poultry rearing practices, coupled with poverty and poor access to healthcare, were the primary risk factors for infection.
"Lessons learned from this outbreak should provide an opportunity for integrating the preparation plans of the health and agricultural organizations," say Sarikaya and Erbaydar, "and for revising the surveillance system and enhancing the role of the primary health care services in controlling epidemic disease." They add that informed response strategies will play an invaluable role in the control of a future avian influenza pandemic.

General Error Epson 1290
Likes # 0
Posted May 20, 2011 at 5:53PM
Aged friend has Epson 1290 printer which was OK up to today. Now on switch on, flashing green main button printer will not complete initialising cycle.
With his 89 years and failing sight plus crackly phone I think I understand him to say in answer to my questions ---
Green wont stop flashing. Paper wont load. When talked through Control panel to the test page same thing, though a red light shows as well (I believe). Pop-up note saying General Error STOP OK. The screen then tells him to turn off, remove all clips, torn paper etc, delete print queue and restart. I suspect he may need new ink cartridges. He has used lookalikes from the beginning, but though I have had most of these errors myself over the years (currently with an 870 very similar but A4 printer) I am not sure where to begin with his problem.
Searching the net for answers I see SSC service freebie is often quoted, but I would rather take some simple course if you experts know of one?

SSC may well be an answer- certainly worth a try. All so after a certain number of pages have been printed- a 'Service required'may flash up.
This indicates the absorption pads need changing.[or cleaning]much has been written here on this topic'- use the search panel
But as it is a software message it may not be needed as such - but the need to reset the counters. To do this SSC has the option or by switching off the machine. holding down a combination of buttons and switching the machine on whilst the buttons remain held down for a number of seconds. The exact combination of button varies with models. A good place to seek further help

To be honest, the printer has survived well I think. Could be a foreign object fallen in to the printer or everything's worn out? Have a look here.

Have brought the 1290 home to meddle in peace.
However I start the printer appears to go through normal initialisation and the stops with flashing red and green lights alternately. This is "Unknown Error contact dealer."
As suggested, downloaded and ran SSCservice.exe to reset the counter. Absolutely no change.
Have looked all over the net for down to earth details on how to change (access) the waste ink pads. Many instructions for other printers but everyone says it is difficult but no one (free) offers an answer! I have had the hood off and all laid bare before me but there appears to be a serious bit of work to get at the ink pads.
Finally the unknown error could be a terminal warning and if so I'm wasting my time, the owner is almost reconciled to replacment, but if anyone has succeeded in replacing the waste pads on a 1290 please tell me how, or this goes for recycling.

Best way it Remove Software and Drivers first from Add Remove in Control Panel, Then check Printer Folder to see if its Removed the Printer if not, Delete it. Then do a Search both in windows and Regedit for Epson And delete all that it finds, then unplug Printer, if its not been unplugged Reinstall Software and drivers until windows starts looking for Printer then plug it in and turn it on

Thanks woodchip, but you have misunderstood what I have and haven't done. I've brought it home where I can fiddle in familiar surroundings. It installed on my own computer without fuss...... it will not complete initialising stopping at the Unknown Error- Inform Dealer.
I've tried the SSC reset counter with no difference. The printer should of course be able to run its own in-house routines but just persists with the basic error instead of becoming one steady green light.
I think it is dead, but wanted to give it one last chance with a clean waste receiver and a reset. Unlike later printers the foam stuff is right in the depths of the printer and unless I can learn how to dismantle it (Epson 1290) without serious damage....... I'm stuck.

Yes rdave13, this is what I think too. Will let thuis tread run in case anyone can offer a suitable How to - replace those pads.
If I can do that I can wash and replace them. Don't mind the effort but expect the worst.

If you have fitted a External Waste Tank you do not need to clean the Pads, just use the SSC tool to reset it. As long as he she knows, to use the Waste tank

Nothing to do with the pads I think. Spray the whole lot with wd-40 lubricant and maybe some parts will move. If it works then it will only last a short time. A new printer will be the answer.

For everyone who has tried to help-
There is no obvious mechanical failure. On switch-on, the usual movements take place. If I pull the power plug while the printhead is outside its resting place I can then slide the block left or right without a hitch. It will recover normal position when power is returned.
However it it is started, in diagnostic mode or normally, after a few seconds, no more sounds or movement, normal position with flashing red cartridge light and green power light.
SSC service reset applied, not a jot of difference. This is more and more like the dead parrot sketch....... the printer has passed on and the corpse will follow to the recycling centre!
Grateful for your posts.

For immediate release – 6/1/12Director of Communications Rita Elliott, 815-226-3374
Rockford, Ill., – Assistant Professor of Biology Troy Skwor, Ph.D., will be conducting a research project this summer with two Rockford College students to research and report on the presence of Aeromonas, a type of bacterium that can cause a wide variety of infections in humans.
Student Jason Haggerty (senior, Belivedere), who will be assisted by Christina Fomina (sophomore, Rockford) is working with Dr. Skwor as part of the College's Student-Faculty Research projects for 2012. Samples will be taken bi-weekly from at least three locations for ten weeks. If Aeromonas bacterium are found, Mr. Haggerty and will identify its pathogen, species, and antibiotic resistance.
Rockford Register Star reporter Kevin Haas details more about the study and how its results may assist the Rock River Reclamation District in their work in his May 30, 2012 article, Seeking superbug facts at Rock River Water Reclamation District.
Dr. Skwor teaches courses in molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, virology and biology. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Medicinal microbiology and Immunology from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and went on to earn his doctorate in medical sciences from Texas A & M University, College of Medicine. Dr. Skwor was also a postdoctoral fellow at the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, Center for Immunobiology and Vaccine Development. Additionally, Dr. Skwor will be traveling to Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, this summer as a visiting professor in the Department of Microbiology. While there, he will be teaching molecular techniques involving detecting antibody levels against different pathogenic proteins and presenting a graduate seminar titled, "Immunopatholgy of trachoma: identifying the good from the bad."

Did the right person win? Tell us what you think in the comments or by tweeting @divadirt.
And the indies get robbed again! Militia, Knight Dynasty, 3S, or the Ninjas were worlds better than DOD, TNT, or Chickbusters.
Somehow, a diva will win Best Indy Wrestler too.
lmao very true
Yes, I think Kelly Kelly will steal that award somehow. <:(
3S got robbed :'(
The ninjas GOT ROBBED!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm not hip to most of the indy teams and I didn't feel that any of the teams I know were that together as a team I didn't vote for anyone
Starting to see a trend here. This seems to be more of a popularity contest.
It's a fan vote. By definition, it's a popularity contest.
Bear in mind, about 3x as many people watch wwe than watch tna; and it's far, far greater when comparing wwe to any indy promotion.
This one was a stacked competition. I think you could make the case for A LOT of these teams. I would have loved to have seen The Knight Dynasty, The Midwest Malitia, 3S, or The Canadian Ninjas at least get a runner up spot, but congrats to them all.
DoD suck
TNT rock!!
Another vote of mine wins
A lot of you guys keep saying that people are getting robbed, etc. etc., and excuse me for trying to make sense here, but I'm just saying…not all of us keep up with Indy's so a lot of us are voting by what we know. I voted, personally, for TNT because they were my favorite mainstream team this year and they got popular fairly quickly. I'm sorry if I don't keep up with Indy's and all, but that's not going to stop me from voting from what I know. Just saying, no one is getting robbed, we're all just voting by who we've kept up with for 2011.
I'm not mad. To me, it just shows that women's wrestling fans are more willing to watch mediocrity at best instead of looking for what's really good.
I mean, you can't say that with men's wrestling. There is still great stuff happening in the mainstream (though some Indies/International promotions are still better), but there's a massive distance in quality between mainstream women's wrestling and Indy.
In short, if women wrestling fans want things to get better, they should be supporting the great stuff. The groundbreaking stuff. It's why guys like Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Jon Moxley, and more are getting a chance at the big time.
The E and TNA aren't the only ones holding back progress.
OMG. DoD are really bad. I don't see why they won, since they started with the propose of turning the Divas division to a better one & nothing happened.
Whaaaaaaat. Well, this is called DIVAAAAA Dirt so I guess it makes sense.
DOD could have been great, but its now just a huge flop – TNT is a much better team in all aspects.
DoD is a joke.
DoD is a great stable only if they have a decent push as a stable and not always beth in the lime light. I like TNT better.
DoD are so overrated here on Diva Dirt it isn't funny.

When she co-created Comedy Central's The Daily Show, Lizz Winstead developed an innovative brand of comedy that blurred the point at which news ends and comedy begins. With her new comedy troupe, Shoot the Messenger, Winstead is again taking dead aim at the media, but in a bit more of a straightforward, sketch-oriented way. The troupe's stage show, Wake up World, is a spot-on spoof of a Regis and Kelly-type morning show, complete with perky but ignorant co-hosts, worthless news correspondents, and, of course, hilarious social commentary slipped between the punch lines. When the show takes the stage at the Parkway Theater, Winstead and her crew will have the chance to deviate from their normal shtick, offering commentary and taking jabs at politics and the news while RNC coverage is projected on a giant TV on stage. As if savvy political and sketch comedy weren't worth the low $25 admission price, sly Brit protest singer Billy Bragg will perform on Tuesday and Wednesday, Illinois bar tune god Ike Reilly will play Tuesday, and a bevy of local acts, including singer/songwriters Martin Devaney and Jim Walsh, will perform Wednesday and Thursday.

*Update: Dukan Diet (2nd attempt) Feb 17th - Apr 11th 2014. Carb cycling from April 27th 2014.
I've had diaries on here before but couldn't stick to one diet long enough to keep them going.
I've somehow maintained a constant 70-72kg for just over a year but this is not the weight and size I want to be!
Yesterday the scales showed 72.3kg and today shows 71.7kg.
Ideally I'd like to get down to 57-58kg which will put my BMI around 22 but I'm not sure I'll be able to get down that far, it's been YEARS since I was that weight and my body shape has changed a lot since. I'll see how my clothes fit and take it as it goes along. I have a pair of jeans I'd really like to fit into so although I'll try and lose weight, those jeans would be my ultimate goal. I'd be happy to be a constant size 10. Whichever comes first the weight or size, I'm determined to lose until then.
My wardrobe consists of clothes sizes 8-14 and I'm 14 at the moment. I think I gain weight, realise I might have to buy size 16, refuse and start dieting but then soon go back to my old ways and gain weight again. I've gained and lost the same 2 stone and a bit 4 times over the years and this is it.
I refuse to get back to this size again. I can't cross my legs comfortably, my inner thighs rub so my jeans always get thrown out due to the wear and my bottom feels like it's following me around everywhere. Not to mention I look pregnant!
I've been doing 16:8 diet (loosely) for the last couple of months which means I only eat between 12-8pm. I try watch what I eat but I do eat out quite a lot so it's not so easy a lot of the time.
To kick start the weight loss I have bought a months worth of Exante packs so that combined with 16:8, I will try and be strict on my calorie intake. It's not calorie counting as such but I like food too much to let run loose lol
The only exercise I do at the moment is walking back and forth to work which is 25mins each way. I need to do some more but after a few attempts at the gym, I've realised I'll never be a gym bunny!
I think I need to keep a diary on here to hold myself accountable, record what I do and get told off when I've been naughty
So yesterday was Day 1.
Had an Exante bar around noon, three cups of green tea and was planning to have a shake around 4pm, thought I had some at work but realised I didn't! Didn't feel overly hungry by home time but then OH wanted to go to Westfield in the evening and we ended up in TGIF. I put everything in MFP and total calories for the day added up to 1,709. Not too bad. Didn't feel bloated or overly full.
Today Day 2
Woke up very tired (food hangover?) so popped into EAT for a small matcha latte (275cals according to MFP) on the way to work. Coffee, tea and normal green tea don't really wake me up but I know matcha does so had to have one. Lunch is Exante shepherd's pie, will have a shake around 4pm and plenty of water and green tea in between. Last shake will be when I get home. If things go to plan I will end up with total 877cals for the day.

The Wildcats never lose. Because of their cheerleaders, and how they play the game. Led by hot Yell Captain JR Carrington, they ball the opposing team into fatigue, leaving them thinking about pussy, not points. Join the always odd Paul Norman in his latest twisted tale, filled with letter jackets, pom-poms and pleated skirts that come off so, so easy. give a Rebel Yell.
Dyanna's in maximum security, subjected to the trials and tribulations of her strange new cellmates on the row. She begins to fantasize about the love she's left behind, and our cameras follow her thoughts to their farewell encounter on a backcountry slope. And then the realities of prison life take over. She enjoys a sexual free-for-all at the hands of rogue prison guards. The resident bulldyke will stop at nothing to savor her forbidden fruit. And finally, a wild orgy erupts, creating a horny diversion for Dyanna's escape.

Taking to the streets to march proudly against discrimination and hatred is a cause very dear to the hearts of many gay men. Taking to the streets to have actual sex out in the open, not so much. Out in Public, an exhibitionist hardcore site from the Big Daddy network, makes its Mr. Pink's debut here with a review that covers all sorts of issues: non-downloadable videos, shrunken high-res photographs, alleys, car lots, and public gardens, and, it goes without saying, deeply penetrating ass-fucking. The guys are hot and hunky, and the weather is fine, so why not step out, way out, with the Out in Public crew. After all, there's nothing quite like fornicating in the open air.
You've had your eye on a girl for a while now, but you can't quite figure out whether she's just always attached to her bestie or whether they're, you know, 'attached'. Turns out you're in luck, friend, 'cause the dynamic duos of Teen BFF are set to light a fire in your loins with lushly photographed hardcore scenes and high-res photo galleries giving you ample ogling opportunity, all courtesy of Porn Pros.
Hosting many of the porn world's most smoking hot barely legal babes (and more than a few in their early 20s), Reality Kings' Pure 18 is a pornographic pleasureland of fresh-faced starlets all eager to make a name for themself in this great American industry. With pigtails, plaid skirts, tight pink pussies, and plenty of teenage attitude, these girls suck and fuck their way into full adulthood in stunning HD videos, right here on Pure 18.
If the "real ex-girlfriends" of Real Ex-Girlfriends were actually real ex-girlfriends of real submitting members of Real Ex-Girlfriends… I'd still be confused. Sure, she's as professional as the next pornstar, but any performer throwing down at Porn Pros' allegedly all-amateur fuck-fest, Real Ex-Girlfriends, isn't about to fall into pornstar posturing. No, she's a convincing (if unfathomably hot) "everyday" girl whose jealous, jilted boyfriend did the dirty on her by sharing their once private, deeply personal recordings with, well, you.
Sure, you could take out egregiously large loans that'll saddle you with debt for the rest of your earthly existence just to engage in a little college-style casual sex, but would it actually result in the kinds of carnal situations seen at College Fuck Parties? I highly doubt it. Why not let these Russian students provide you with sexual entertainment and a vicariously terrific time that'll prove once and for all that college students, even with heavy workloads and the pressures school thrusts upon them, will always find a way to let loose in magnificently sexy fashion.

There comes a time in every pornstar's life when she decides to expand her, uh, horizons. Shooting her first anal scene is a monumental occasion for every girl that does it, and while the women of Por el Chiquito might be new to you but not to buttfucking, watching them take a rear-ending will surely be a moment you'll not soon forget. Somewhat scant with just 43 scenes, Por el Chiquito nevertheless presents and wild and entertaining ride.
With a weekly visitation from a strong-handed masseuse, the men of Rub Him simply disrobe, lie down on a bench, and let a strange (and strangely enticing) man's fingers do the walking. All the way down below that towel, across those balls, and up every square centimeter of the client's shaft. Massage porn always makes for exciting viewing and Rub Him is no exception to that rule. It is, however, an exception to the rule that hardcore gay porn need be sloppily produced, of poor visual quality, and starring men more fit to fill the pages of office supply catalogs than your hottest, most feverish sexual fantasies. Make no mistake, Rub Him is such a thrill it's almost tactile.
Now that the MILF explosion of the early 2000s has died down a little, it's time for the guys to have a career resurgence. Positioning men in their fifties and sixties as close as possible to eager 18 year-old hotties with a fondness for grizzled old-timers, Jurassic Cock offers hardcore porn that is both colorful and somewhat sedate. The results are always entertaining, though, and couldn't we all learn a thing or two about fucking from one of the legends of the business, Jurassic Cock's very own Ron Jeremy?

ARLINGTON — Community leaders are seeking to have downtown Arlington officially designated as a cultural district, which they say could help attract more artists and open grant funding opportunities to pay for events and attractions designed to promote tourism and revitalization.At its annual luncheon Friday, the Downtown Arlington Management Corp. announced plans to apply for a cultural district designation from the Texas Commission on the Arts. The state agency recognizes 24 cultural districts, including parts of Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston and Austin.The cultural district designation not only can be used as a marketing tool for downtown, but it would also make the area eligible to apply for state incentive programs, such as those available through the Texas Historical Commission, the Commission on the Arts and even the Governor's Office, said Gary Gibbs, executive director of the arts commission.Downtown Arlington includes attractions such as the Levitt Pavilion, Arlington Music Hall, Theatre Arlington, the Arlington Museum of Art, the Creative Arts Theatre and School, and the University of Texas at Arlington's fine arts and theater arts programs."We are so blessed to have an amazing cast of cultural and arts amenities right here in downtown Arlington," said Tony Rutigliano, executive director of the Downtown Arlington Management Corp."Cultural arts are what distinguish one community from the next. They are going to be what sets us apart from other destinations."Promoting the arts is among several projects the downtown group, which is funded by the city, UT Arlington and a business improvement district, says it will work on over the next five years. Other priorities outlined in a strategic action plan adopted this summer include economic development, marketing, safety, and cleanliness and beautification. Gibbs said community leaders are wise to focus on the arts, which bring in sales taxes and help attract highly skilled young professionals seeking to live in a vibrant community.About $150 million a year in revenue across the state is generated from cultural tourism, he said."The highest-spending tourist is a cultural tourist. They tend to stay longer. They tend to spend more than any other kind of tourist," Gibbs told community members at the luncheon.Downtown Arlington Management Corp. will apply for the designation in the spring and expects to learn as soon as summer whether it is successful, Rutigliano said. "What that will do for us is not only show the community that we are committed to the arts but show the artist that we are committed. Hopefully we will start attracting more artists downtown so we will have art galleries and studios," Rutigliano said. "By establishing ourselves as a cultural art district we are telling the artists: 'We are behind you. Come downtown and find a place to create your genius and we will support you.'"In the meantime the group continues its efforts to support existing cultural organizations and is working to attract artists and bring new events and art amenities downtown. Over the weekend, the agency hosted the first ever South Street Art Festival, bringing live music and 75 artists offering paintings, jewelry, photography and more downtown for the three-day event.The organization also wants to commission murals and public art, Rutigliano said.

If you beleive he can survive those attacks show me feats proving he can survive a planet busting attack, or live in space...
@SMXLR8: For you to compare Juggs durability to the hulks shows your lack of knowledge on Marvel comics...
Unless you can show feats of Hulk surviving the equivalent of a planet buster, your just trolling man, or you just spitefully hate goku for no apparent reason...

Kristy Murphy walked out onto the beach at Sebastian Inlet and surveyed the scene. A logo-enhanced (Billabong Girls, Roxy, Rip Curl, Surf Diva) army had set up camp. More than 100 female combatants swathed in wet suits, stocking caps, knit scarves, sweatshirts, sweaters, blankets, and heavy winter jackets huddled together near surfboards and a sprinkling of pup tents on the sand. The night before, a cold front had knocked the temperature down to 36 degrees and churned up a fierce wind. The crowd gamely faced the sea. In the water, contestants in the Florida portion of a new national women's surfing contest were competing in 15-minute heats.
Because of the battened-down crowd and difficult surf, competition organizers had to work to keep the audience focused on the drama. The Queen of the Peak contest was part of the Betty Series, an all-girl extreme-sports series that included professional and amateur surfing competitions January 18 and 19 in Sebastian Inlet, near Melbourne.
Two disc jockeys from Orlando's WJRR-FM (101.1), an alternative-rock station, kept a steady wash of music breaking over the crowd. Announcer Hunter Joslin, an East Coast longboard surfer of some renown, worked the microphone on the top tier of a scaffold. Hunter adopted an over-the-top, play-by-play style, providing sound effects -- "ker-plunk," "splat" -- when a surfer lost her footing and tumbled into the drink. There were so many falls early in the day that he tried to make entertainment out of the pratfalls rather than the surfing. "Oh, she made a duck dive," he said after one woman plunged headfirst into the water. A six-foot statue of busty blond Jean Harlow as a '50s-era bathing beauty in a blue one-piece, the icon of the Betty Series, provided additional irony. Several men slipped their arms around her waist and posed for photo keepsakes.
The waves disappointed Kristy. They rushed the shore, peaked about waist high, and caved all at once, smashing into a gray froth. Not much to ride.
But she was stoked to see so many women contestants. She was stoked to be back in the Sunshine State after a year in California. She was stoked to be standing in Sebastian Inlet again, ready to compete. It was, as Kristy often says, awesome. So friggin' awesome that she couldn't contain herself. With her pink, swirly, fem-flashy Siren longboard slung under her arm, she raced to the water, splashed into the surf, threw her board down, climbed on, and paddled out. Yeah, she was stoked. "I wanted to get out there and surf!" she said.
Two hours later, the 25-year-old stood on the shore, shaking in the frigid air. Her sun-streaked, tawny blond hair hung in damp strings down to her shoulders. Blood rushed to her face, turning her sun-tinged skin ruddy. Her lips glowed blue under a coating of zinc oxide. Her feet felt numb. She shook so badly that unless she defrosted, she wouldn't be able to compete. A heater set up inside a tent for contestants had run out of propane, so she retreated to a Nissan Pathfinder. Inside the cab, friends Jenni Flanigan, from Jupiter, and Lauren Hill of St. Augustine had cranked the heat to full blast.
Nicely toasted after a half hour in the truck, Kristy emerged, spirit sprung back to full bounce. A South Florida native who grew up on A1A near Indiantown Road in Jupiter, right across the street from the ocean, Kristy has the sun-burnished and salt-coated air of a certain brand of Florida kid, one who would rather be in aguathan on tierra. Swimming, wake-boarding, body-boarding, scuba-diving, and snorkeling -- she loved anything that involved water.
With her sporty, all-American-girl-next-door looks, deep, rusty waterlogged voice, and superpositive, fresh-squeezed attitude, she's just "Florida Girl" to many of her California surfing pals.
Lauren, Jenni, and Kristy surf old-style longboard rather then the newer, pointy-nosed shortboards on which surfers rip in and out of the waves and even become airborne. Longboard surfers ride the break of a wave, moving up to the nose of the board and back to play with the energy of the unfolding wave.
In the Queen of the Peak, longboarders surfed in the day's last heats. The three friends waited at least four hours in the cold before competing. It took a mega-dose of girl power to keep the boredom and cold from flattening the fizz of their surfer-girl enthusiasm. That's just the sort of challenge to which Kristy was born.
To pass the time, they talked about surfing in Puerto Rico: "If you go, you've got to surf Domes Beach," Lauren told her friends.
"That's what everyone says," Kristy shouted. "They say surf the Domes. You haveto surf the Domes in Puerto Rico."
Then the Harlow statue: "It's gross," Jenni said. "Hate it," Kristy agreed. The irony was lost on them. It was just so not surfer girl.
A rep from a magazine called Surf Life for Womenhanded Kristy a copy of the latest issue. "Go Surf Life," she said to the woman. "All right." She paged through it while Jenni and Lauren looked over her shoulder. She stopped at a Surf Diva ad. "They have the sickest stuff," she said.

More than two dozen species of sharks live along gulf coast.
Houston — The Houston Chronicle is reporting; Sharks like Gulf Coast waters.
Fishermen about 50 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico were surprised in March when a 375-pound shark jumped into their fishing boat. A forklift at a Freeport dock lifted the mako shark off the boat.
Off Follett's Island near Surfside, a college student was bitten on the thigh by a shark on Memorial Day. A shark chomped on a 12-year-old boy's foot Thursday along Sunday Beach on Matagorda Island. Both are OK.
An angler hooked a 4-foot bull shark at Matagorda Beach July 2. Three Beaumont friends hauled in a 300-pound bull shark near Rollover Pass on Bolivar Peninsula on July 3.
Both of those sharks were released. Think about that the next time you are splashing along the beach.

Double dip or a single dip with sprinkles on it, the recessionary feeling of the economy is something that Americans may be getting used to. And increasingly, quick-serve and fast-casual restaurant brands are adjusting to this "new normal" and simply trying to do business in spite of it, instead of assuming that better days are ahead.
Take Bennigan's. One of the original definers of the modern fast-casual restaurant segment, the 80-unit chain knows a thing or two about hard times, and by its own admission the Irish pub chain had grown rather stale and lifeless. It filed for bankruptcy-court protection in 2008, closed its corporate-owned stores across the US, and last November relaunched under new ownership. And certainly the three-year slump in the restaurant industry hasn't helped.
But instead of crying the blues, the Dallas-based chain, which now operates about 100 stores in the US and internationally is bringing out the green: It is launching a deep overhaul that includes re-connecting with the Irish green that was a key part of the optics of the original Bennigan's brand.Continue reading...

It's been said plenty already, but the debates will always rage on (which is healthy sometimes). There is alot more to tanking and staying alive than simply "avoid as much damage as possible" and its generally people with that mindset that end up being those spiky hard to heal tanks. Right now, being able to predict the damage taken, and control that damage taken, far outweighs avoiding as much as possible. In this light, for warriors and paladins anyway, mastery is by far simply the stat to go for.
Dodge and parry are important, sure, they always have been, but its never been wise to stack it, and still isn't. Why? Because its not predictable. Yes it'll occasionally be that thing that saves you from dieing when you avoid that hit at low health, but just as much if not more, its the thing that fails and you end up dieing anyway.
Stamina..its not as important as it was in Wrath, no, but its still important. But not important enough to gem for outside of say...20mastery/30 stam gems, and the helm/shoulder/chest enchant. All of those things will most likely provide you with all the stam you need, given you are wearing 346/359/372 gear.
Someone said above the exact pattern I'm following right now as far as gemming as a prot warrior.
Yellow: Mastery
Red: Parry/Mastery
Blue: Mastery/stam

Teachers need a safe space to take risks with ed tech and test these new tools in their classrooms for successful implementation. That was one of many take aways from our recent Twitter chat. Read more....
Blog Entries
Charter school opponents often forget that charter schools are in fact public schools. Charters cannot charge tuition or create selective admissions policies. Ironically, we might have charter boosters to blame for the belief that charters aren't public.
The critics aren't the only ones who have odd notions about charter schools. Though Americans tend to like charter schools, most think they are private schools that charge tuition and admit students on the basis of ability. Why the confusion? For one, charters are being sold as the "anti-public school."
This isn't my idea. I got it from Nancy Flanagan, who recently wrote about a charter school meeting she attended in Michigan. She describes one of her main reactions to the meeting:
I think that positioning charter schools as the opposite of public schools, rather than a necessary supplement to public education, has poisoned the discourse. And—it goes both ways. It's not just public schools and public school teachers being skeptical (or downright nasty) in their remarks about charter schools. Public school academies—charters—seem to be bent on repeating the worst ...
A while back, I suggested that we pay pundits for their performance. Now is as good a time as any to start. First up for evaluation: Jonathan Alter.
He should brace himself for a pay cut.
Let's review his most recent performance in this week's Newsweek magazine. He relishes the tough choice facing states that want Race to the Top money:
[L]ift your caps on the number of innovative charter schools allowed and your prohibitions on holding teachers accountable for whether kids learn—or lose a chance for some of Obama's $5 billion "Race to the Top" money.
A pretty weak showing so far. For one, states have to lift caps on all charter schools, not just the "innovative" ones. Given that charter schools have had rather mixed results, can we blame states for worrying about the charter school land rush that might ensue? Here's what researcher Tom Toch writes in the most recent edition of Education Week: "Even with an infusion of federal funding, it would be difficult for C[harter] M[anagement] O[rganizations] to expand much more rapidly without compromising the quality of their schools."
Let's see if things get any better in Alter's next paragraph:
This issue cleaves the Democratic Party. On one side are Obama and the reformers, who point out that we now have a good idea of what works: KIPP and other "no excuses" charter models boast 80 percent graduation rates in America's roughest neighborhoods, nearly twice ...
Just when you thought New York City charter schools were the Best Things Ever, a new report calls their quality into question.
According to the city's education department, students in charters made less academic progress than students in traditional public schools did. What's more, the city's charters enroll fewer special education students and students who are not proficient in English. Just over four percent of charter school students aren't proficient in English. Compare that to almost 15 percent for the district as a whole.
This report doesn't come from some hothouse for anti-charter research. It comes from the city's own education department, which has been nothing if not supportive of charters. Charter schools are falling behind according to the city's own measures.
What does this mean just a short month after Carolyn Hoxby's study praising the city's charter schools? For one, it should prompt a review of Hoxby's findings. Did Hoxby forever silence arguments that charters cream the best students, as the ...
The Baltimore Sun compares Baltimore's and Washington DC's school reforms, and it finds DC's wanting.
To be more precise: The Sun finds DC's Chancellor Rhee to be wanting. The paper sees little difference between the two districts' reform plans:
there's little doubt the personal leadership styles of the two CEOs have largely determined how reform efforts have been received. In public, at least, Mr. Alonso eschews drama. Ms. Rhee, by contrast, once appeared on the cover of a national news magazine wielding a broom to symbolize her intention of cleaning house.
Which city has a better shot at success down the road? The Sun votes for Baltimore:
We're betting on Baltimore getting there first, if for no other reason than that Mr. Alonso's style seems to mesh better with the players in a city that also seems to have fewer structural obstacles in the way of reform than comparable urban school systems. It's freer from ...
"Welcome to my world," said the traditional public school to the charter.
Reformers who get mugged by reality can sound an awful lot like the dreaded "establishment." Take, for example, the story of the Opportunity Charter School in Harlem. Started by ardent reformers, the school now faces closure if it can't raise students' scores by next year. The reformers are crying foul.
Their arguments sound familiar and reasonable. The school takes the city's lowest achievers, half of them with learning disabilities, so it has a tougher road to travel. The state's tests can't measure the kinds of progress the school has made with those students. And the one-year deadline is unreasonable.
The reformers are on shakier ground when they seek to distance themselves from traditional public schools. The charter's assistant principal claims that the state can't "expect the school to be accountable for a system that has failed ...
School reformers take heed: We ignore communities at our own risk.
This warning came through loud and clear in a Chicago Tribune story about the gang brawl that ended the life of Darrion Albert, a 16-year-old bystander. One passage jumped out at me:
The conflict escalated between the two neighborhoods after Chicago Public Schools (CPS) transformed Carver High School, located in the Altgeld community, into a military academy. That put many Altgeld kids at Fenger [High School] behind enemy lines, traversing unfamiliar streets in unfriendly territory.
This reads almost like the history of a small country roiled by ethnic strife years after colonial powers redraw its national boundaries.
No, CPS is not like a colonial power. And claims that school reformers somehow caused Albert's death by reconstituting Fenger High School are way over the top. Fenger was troubled by violence long before the district tried to turn it around.
But the Fenger story reminds us of how important it is to understand the social and political context of communities whose schools we want to transform. Even with the best of intentions, we can do harm.
The vicious circle of violence and reprisals that traps some of Chicago's poorest teens has a logic all its own. It's the stuff of Sophocles, a tragic cycle that ...
As everyone knows by now, Aldine Independent School District in Texas won the coveted Broad Prize for Urban Education. And they did it without mayoral control (gasp) or even a single charter school (say it ain't so!)
So what did they do? For one, the board, administrators, teachers and community members collaborated on common solutions to the district's problems. For another, they worked hard to give teachers and administrators the support they needed. Most important, they committed to improvement for the long haul. No quick fixes at Aldine.
The Learning First Alliance offered far more detail in a 2003 case study of Aldine. Here are a few highlights from what we learned back then:
- Recognize that you have a problem. When student peformance cratered in the mid 90s, district leaders knew they had to do something.
- Set high expectations for students and staff. Yes, this has become a truism--but only because it's so very true.
- Give schools a first-rate curriculum. In 1996, Aldine created "benchmark targets," a curriculum aligned with state standards. Teachers asked for
Fewer than half of students in Boston charter high schools make it to graduation. That's the bottom line of a union-sponsored study of the city's charters.
Charter leaders don't deny the numbers, but they do deny consciously pushing students out of their schools. It's those doggone high standards that are to blame! According to the Boston Globe:
Many students, charter leaders said, choose to leave to dodge high academic standards, returning to city-run schools where getting a diploma is often easier. Only in rare circumstances, they said, did a charter student quit school without subsequently earning a diploma.
"We are not just handing out diplomas,'' said Thabiti Brown, principal at Codman Academy Charter Public School in Dorchester. "We want students to be successful in college, but unfortunately we have students who leave because they feel our academic standards are too high."
Is it me, or is there a double standard here? Shouldn't education reform zealots, for the sake of consistency, accuse Principal Brown of heresy? After all, he seems to believe that some children can't learn to high standards. Shouldn't a "no excuses" school do "whatever it takes" to hold on to each and every student, regardless of how unmotivated or intimidated by high standards? I though only "establishment" educators made excuses.
More to the point.... How can we say charter schools are better than traditional public schools if charters can't hold on to less motivated, less accomplished ...
"Say Yes to Education" may finally get its due. Joe Biden, Arne Duncan and Tim Geithner converged on Syracuse yesterday to learn about the innovative program.
We've honored Say Yes time and again on this website. The initiative has nearly closed high school and college graduation gaps separating urban youth from their suburban peers. How? By providing low-income youth comprehensive supports ranging from health care to academic help and college scholarships.
So will this event catapult Say Yes into the national consciousness? Early signs aren't good. The event has been covered, well, almost nowhere. Not in the education press. Not in the blogosphere.
It did get a few hits in the local Syracuse papers, but those focused mostly on college affordability: an important, but small, facet of the Say Yes program. I suppose I can understand why. The White House Task Force on Middle ...
In the past few days, articles in two major urban newspapers have demonstrated how quickly education reformers and the education "establishment" can find themselves in the same boat.
According to the LA Times, the schools at the center of Mayor Villaraigosa's reform efforts have fallen short of their goals:
The scores at Villaraigosa's schools fall well short of what his original rhetoric suggested. He implied that he could deliver rapid academic gains if given control of schools in the nation's second-largest district. At the time, L.A. Unified officials and some education experts said Villaraigosa was unfairly discounting the school system's incremental progress.
On Tuesday, it was the mayor's turn to celebrate increments.
"We expect progress and we have progress, but we still have a long way to go," Villaraigosa apparently told the LA Times. "Transforming a failing school takes more than one year." Very true.
According to the Chicago Tribune, turnaround schools championed by ...

Forget about having burgers your way; now you can order wings to your specifications -- and not merely hot, medium, or mild. At Wings Place (7210 W. McNab Rd., North Lauderdale, 954-722-7878), you can choose from 13 different sauces, including hot (hot sauce and Tabasco), barbecue, honey mustard, teriyaki, or raspberry. You can ask for them deep-fried or grilled. You can even have them extra-wet, which means a dollop or two more sauce. Want 'em without bones? Get the Buffalo chicken tenders. In fact the eatery has oodles of additional items -- Buffalo chicken sandwiches, Buffalo shrimp, fried-chicken salad -- but it's the wings that take first place.

You'll usually catch me bustin out Radio, Going Back to Cali or Mama Said as single songs. Can't usually do whole LL albums.
Edit: I did really like 14 Shots to the Dome but its been a long time since I've spun it.
Honestly, I don't care about what LL put out as a 35-40 year old rich and HAPPY man. Late career....mostly, he made that smooth, playa, laid back, non threatening loverman shit......that's what he's supposed to do! He ain't broke and mad and jerking off into napkins nightly like these cruddy loser angry assholes that a lot of these internet nerds big up. He's old, rich, and happy and content. So it is what it is. I don't bump much of it(though I'll ride for songs like Hush and Love U Better all day), but I don't hate on it either.
But LL from 1985-1995 is another story. Hell, I'll even give him to 2000 because The GOAT album had some cuts(Ill Bomb, Homicide, Back Where I Belong), and because half these jokers voting on the thread use "GOAT" and don't even know that LL gave them that shit.
But 1985-1995 LL? And a 10 year career where you're hitting back then is like doing it for 25 years now. Mama Said Knock You Out is one of the best rap albums ever. Radio and Bigger and Deffer are classics, and Mr. Smith was a damn good album. And Walking With a Panther? That's like Jay-Z's Volume 1.....where if you take off the 2 or 3 bullshit cuts, the rest of the album was incredible.
Don't give him too much flack for I Need Love, rappers now make entire albums in that vein and get props for it. It was just one song. Wasn't nothing wrong with the sentiment either. Ignore the soft ass voice he used, and the lyrics/content was fine.
Regardless of what you think of his catalogue or low moments.....listen to his verse on this joint below from 1:40-2:33 and tell me most of these cats being named can rap better than that.

Publix worker who lost hand at warehouse files suit
Updated On: Jul 22 2013 04:18:25 PM EDT
A Publix employee who lost her hand nearly three years ago while working with a cleaning crew at the grocery store chain's warehouse on the Westside announced a lawsuit Monday against the company.
Appiffane West says she was cleaning a running conveyer belt when her hand got caught and was cut off. The lawsuit claims the Publix supervisor was reckless regarding employee safety.
West, who worked at the warehouse for three years, now wears a prosthetic hand. She spoke briefly Monday, her attorney by her side, about how hard it is now to get by.
"It's a factor in everyday life and it's exhausting because I have to think more," she said.
Wests's attorney, Steve Pajcic, says Publix is totally to blame. He says the warehouse had numerous problems in the past and claims the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and others had been warned of the dangers before.
"We think in this case that the Publix practices were so egregious and dangerous that Ms. West can bring a civil suit for gross negligence and for the accident being almost a virtual certainty to happen," Pajcic said.
He said Publix violated two critical guidelines. He said for one, there was no device protecting employees. And Pajcic said the second error is even more critical.
"Publix told the employees to clean these conveyer systems when they were running," he said.
He said that's when West's glove got caught as she was removing a corn husk from the belt.
Pajcic said there have been other accidents at the plant in the past, including someone who had four fingers amputated.
No one at the warehouse would comment, except through email. But there was no response Monday.
OSHA investigated the accident and last year leveled a $182,000 fine that has been settled, but details are not available.
West is getting workers' compensation and $100,000 for her amputated hand, but Pajcic says this goes much further and West says she has lost so much more.
"It's on my mind constantly from when I wake up in the morning until I go to sleep at night," West said. "Sometimes I even have dreams about it."
